remier Christy Clark has found a new political home here in the Central Okanagan. The Liberal leader easily won the Westside-Kelowna byelection Wednesday, taking nearly 63 per cent of the vote. Despite living in Vancouver—she plans to set up a second residence here—she says she is determined to address local issues on behalf of her new constituents and is pleased to be the newest member of what her fellow local MLAs call Team Okanagan.

In today’s Close-Up, assistant editor Alistair Waters looks at what residents can expect from their new MLA. See story on page A3

B.C. PREMIER, and now Westside-Kelowna MLA-elect, Christy Clark was all smiles Wednesday night during her victory speech following her byelection win. And so was the man she replaces, former Liberal MLA Ben Stewart (seen here behind Clark).

CLOSE-UP

Welcomed with ‘open arms’ Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

A

fter four years as a trio of middle-aged white guys, Team Okanagan is going coed.

But the newest member of the triumvirate of local Liberal political representatives is no regular MLA. Christy Clark may be the new Westside-Kelowna MLA, but also happens to be the premier of B.C. And, as such, not only are the dynamics of the group about to change, so too are the expectations of what it can now get done.

“The dynamics of the team will definitely change,” said Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson, who sits in cabinet as Forests and Natural Resource Minister.

“But I think we— (Kelowna-Lake Country MLA) Norm (Letnick), myself and now Christy—will work very effectively together.”

Clark, he said, now knows the local issues, has a copy of the joint priority list he, Letnick and former Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart put together two years ago for needed infrastructure here and even addressed several key local issues on the byelection campaign trail.

ALISTAIR WATERS/CAPITAL NEWS

FRESH OFF her byelection victory for the Westside-Kelowna riding on Wednesday night, Premier Christy Clark began her duties as MLA by holding a press conference to announce $1 million in further funding for road improvements to Westside Road.

On Wednesday night in her victory speech, Clark talked of her desire to improve Westside Road, get a health centre built on the Westside, fix flooding problems on McDougall Creek in West Kelowna, start planning for a second crossing of Okanagan Lake, build on the foundation of skills training improvements already underway at Okanagan College and UBCO, encourage a thriving tech sector here and support local agri-

culture.

“People elected me because they feel I can deliver for Westside-Kelowna,” said a beaming Clark to cheers. “And I’m going to deliver.”

On Wednesday night, Letnick, Clark’s parliamentary secretary for intergovernmental affairs, said he expects how he and Thomson work with Clark in relation to riding issues will develop over time, just as it did between Thomson, Stewart and himself.

of Clark’s constituents— Clark said neither man shied away from working to improve their home ridings.

Both men, she said, were men of vision and that included a vision for the entire province.

While obviously planned in advance with the belief that Clark had the byelection in hand, the premier immediately proved true to her word and hit the ground running in her new riding Thursday morning.

n a m ntry

u o c i n

i m e h t

He welcomed Clark to Team Okanagan, saying having her represent a Central Okanagan riding can only be good news for the entire area.

The premier has made no secret of the fact she feels as a local MLA, it’s her job to get things done for her riding, even though she is also premier of the entire province.

Citing the examples of two former Kelowna-area based premiers, W.A.C. Bennett and his son Bill Bennett—who is now one

Less than 18 hours after accepting victory, she gathered reporters on Westside Road to announce more money for Westside Road improvements. An additional $1 million will be spent this sumer on paving and patching work on what BCAA has dubbed the worst road in the province two years in a row.

“It’s time this road was as safe as it is scenic,” said Clark.

••• Clark won her way

onto Team Okanagan with a resounding victory in Wednesday’s byelection.

And she put an exclamation mark on her win by taking nearly 63 per cent of the vote, even better than the 58 per cent Stewart took in last month’s provincial election.

Stewart stepped down to let Clark run here after she lost her VancouverPoint-Grey seat to the NDP’s David Eby in the provincial election.

That occurred despite the fact she led her party to a surprise come-frombehind win to give the Liberals their fourth consecutive majority government.

While the byelection win sends Clark back into the B.C. Legislature, she said Thursday it may not have come in time for her to actually sit in the current session, which only has two weeks left.

Clark remains unsure of when the byelection writ will be returned or when she will be sworn in as MLA. As well, Clark is committed to attend a premiers’ meeting at the end of the month, so she may have to wait a while longer before having the chance to officially re-enter the legislative chamber

▼ PREMIER ADDITION

Clark plans to buy a condo in her new riding nouncement, despite that fact it was not the large scale improvement many area residents have been asking for.

Clark said in the last five years, $10.3 million has been spent on the road to improve it, with $6.5 million of that coming in the last year alone.

Clark deflected questions about if all that work would have been done had there not been a provincial election and then a byelection happening here.

She credited Stewart, as the local MLA, with getting most of the money for the road during his four years in office.

“Sure I helped push it along, but Ben was the one who did the work,” she said.

••• For Stewart, who

won praise from the premier for stepping down so Clark could run in an area she calls the “cradle of free enterprise,” there appears to be a continued role as advisor to Clark, if he wants it.

The premier said while he would not be paid, nor has he asked to be paid, she plans to continue using his knowledge and expertise for as long as he is willing to help her.

On election night, when asked about her campaign’s use of Stewart—he was front and centre throughout—she credited the size of her win, in part, to the popularity of her political predecessor.

“It just shows how strong Christy Clark and Ben Stewart can be together,” she said, flashing what one of her bye-

lection challengers dubbed her familiar “fairy tale” smile.

That smile seemed like a permanent fixture Wednesday night—as it has been through much of the campaign—as she basked in the glory of victory in her new political home.

“Thank you Westside-Kelowna,” she said.

“Thank you for welcoming me with open arms and open hearts.”

in Victoria.

But she said in the meantime, she has plenty on her plate to keep her busy.

On Wednesday night, addressing the throng who turned out to cheer her and celebrate her victory, Clark expressed her gratitude to campaign workers, supporters, those who voted for her and especially to Stewart, who she said worked tirelessly on her campaign.

But she also had a message for those who did not vote for her in the byelection.

“I intend to work hard to get your vote in four years time when I run here again,” she said to loud cheers.

Clark had already committed to running in the riding again the 2017 provincial election, and Letnick welcomed that commitment.

Much was made during the campaign by her NDP challenger Carole Gordon about Clark not living in the riding and not being up on local issues.

But the premier, while she feels comfortable with her knowledge of local issues, conceded new ones come up all the time in any riding.

Westside-Kelowna would not different. She said now she has been elected, she plans to buy a condo here and set up a second residence.

Clark said she had not done so before the vote because to do so earlier would have been presumptuous.

“I plan to be here a lot,” she told reporters.

After being in campaign mode for most of the last six months, Clark recognizes it’s now time to get back to governing.

And she believes the people of B.C. and Westside-Kelowna voted for optimism and hope in the

provincial election and the byelection, so that that’s what she plans to give them.

“Like I always say, you don’t win elections if you don’t stand for something,” said Clark, adding her well-worn campaign line: “I believe in growing the economy, not government.”

That will be the key to providing both the Westside-Kelowna and rest of the province with what it needs in the future in terms of infrastructure and services.

Criticized by some of her opponents in the byelection campaign for growing B.C.’s debt at the same time as running on a platform claiming she wants to reduce the debt, the premier said her government has reduced the rate of public spending but there are some infrastructure projects that still need to be done.

Comparing it to owning a house and being on a budget, she said sometimes you have to cut back on your spending but you still need to maintain your home.

On Thursday, she said that was the case with the new spending announced for Westside Road.

Work, she said, needs to be done on the road to make it safer.

Area regional district director Jim Edgson welcomed the new money but said it is important that smaller improvement projects continue while the government looks at how it will pay for the larger, more expensive safety fixes the road needs.

That work, he predicted, could take four to five years to plan and overall the road could cost in the tens of millions of dollar to fix.

But, on the day after Clark did the expected and won the Westside-Kelowna byelection, it was all smiles at the road an-

NDP supporters find reason for optimism Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

It was not a victory, but there was no sign of defeat at the NDP’s election night party where Westside-Kelowna candidate Carole Gordon received round after round of applause.

With roughly half the votes of Premier Christy Clark—some 3,471 for Gordon to Clark’s 6,663—there was no doubt Clark handily won the byelection she needed to join her party as a sitting member of the B.C. Legislature.

But holding her own while facing the premier of the province in a mid-summer election was nothing to scoff at for Gordon and the 50 people gathered to celebrate her effort knew it.

“Carole Gordon stood up to a high-priced juggernaut with distinction and integrity and we are so proud of her,” said a beaming Adrian Dix, NDP leader.

“Of course, we congratulate Premier Clark, but we celebrate Carole Gordon. What a candidate.”

Noting Gordon’s presence in the byelection changed politics and policy, Dix congratulated his candidate for having the tenacity to force the premier to back down on pay increases to political staff and kick up attention on a potential hydro rate

“Tonight, in this election, after all that’s happened, our vote went up (in the riding),” he said.

The numbers, technically, prove otherwise.

Gordon managed a 30 per cent showing in May to Ben Stewart’s 58 per cent.

The second time around, Gordon appeared to have pulled down the exact same 30 per cent result, as per Elections BC totals, to Christy Clark’s 62 per cent.

Nevertheless, the candidate was clearly thrilled.

Herbs for the water-wise garden S

everal versatile herbs commonly grown in our food gardens are decorative enough for the flower border and are also drought-tolerant.

Some have survived the ultimate test in my sunny xeriscape garden.

It has very tough conditions: dry, nutrient-poor, sandy soil and tree roots that compete with plants for any rainfall.

Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) has thrived there for years.

I used its seedlings to fill in a challenging slope down to the street.

They flourish even though the plough dumps gritty snow on them every Swinter.

There are also variegated-leaf forms such as silver thyme (T. ‘Argentneus’) and Doone Valley thyme. , Not classed as edible

GARDENING WITH NATURE

Gwen Steele herbs, creeping thymes are excellent in my garden.

Wooly thyme is a fairly rapid growing ground cover.

Elfin thyme, dense, and a slower-growing ground cover works well between flagstones, as does mother-of-thyme.

All these thymes are evergreen.

Another herb that self-seeded and has been useful along the street is hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis).

It’s blooming now with white, pink, or blue flowers.

Sage (Salvia officionalis) also does very well.

Variegated-leaf forms of grey and purple (S. ‘Purparescens’), purple, pink, cream and green (S. ‘Tricolor’) and green and gold (S. ‘Icterina’), add light and interest to the garden all season. Blue flowers are a bonus at the end of June.

Fatter-leaved than common chives, garlic chives (Allium tuberosum) have a garlic flavour.

Their beautiful flat heads of white flowers open late summer.

Although I have never planted it in the dry garden, dill frequently appears there and does well until harvested for potato salads.

Many lavender plants do well and add a yearround silvery presence.

One year I made lavender eye bags from the flowers for Christmas

gifts.

Self-seeding annual calendulas add a bright spot of yellow and orange. Flower petals brighten up salads.

I just moved some golden oregano from a low-water garden into the dry garden. It will get hand-watered this year only, so next year will be the test.

The dry conditions will certainly slow its spreading habit.

Although I don’t have it, French tarragon would grow in these conditions.

Other plants classed as herbs, but not necessarily edible, also thrive in my dry garden.

Catnip blooms from April to July and if cut back, blooms again.

Nepeta ‘Walker’s Low’ is a large form 30 inches high and wide.

Wetlands projects get $160,000 in funding

Environment Canada has awarded $30,000 to the water board to re-establish two strategic stream-flow hydrometric monitoring stations. “In this time of tight budgets, we have to share data to get the most value out of our combined efforts,” said Warwick Sears.

Another $95,000 has

been allocated by the Union of B.C. Municipalities’ Gas Tax Innovations Fund to develop a single database where streamflow measurements from across the valley can be collected and accessed.

Environment Canada also approved $35,000 to create Phase 1 of an Okanagan Wetlands Strategy. The strategy includes compiling existing wetlands information, and establishing a steering committee to guide develop-

ment of a valley-wide protection plan.

Rick Simpson, cochair of BC Wildlife Federation’s Region 8 fisheries committee, said, “Wetlands are an important part of our aquatic eco-system, responsible for filtering out pollutants from our water, but they’re often overlooked and now 85% are gone.

“Often they get drained or paved over. Instead, we need to protect what’s here.”

It has striking, silver foliage year round, and button, yellow flowers in early summer. Foliage can be used as a moth repellent.

In early summer Rue (Ruta graveolens) has flat clusters of tiny yellow flowers atop its finely cut, attractive blue-green foliage. It may be a cat deterrent.

These herbs not only thrive without supplemental water, their aromatic foliage ensures that they are deer-proof.

To the editor: I would like to thank all the organizers, volunteers and everyone involved in the wonderful July 1st celebrations. My daughter and I left home at 10:30 a.m. and got back home at 11:45 p.m.

Folkfest was wonderful, with lots of things for everyone to do and see all over the waterfront. We had a great day. Thank you everyone.

One person had to be taken away from overheating.

These young people are great representatives from their country. Unfortunately there was such disrespect shown these young people from the Kelowna Yacht Club area. They unfortunately had a band playing on their patio and this band kept turning their sound up higher and higher.

Just watch: Hikes in BC Hydro rates are coming

T

here’s a new sheriff in town for BC Hydro, and it didn’t take long for the political range war to resume.

The new sheriff, Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett, found himself on the barricades as soon as he got the hugely complex responsibility for energy and mines. His saddlebags bulge with reports on BC Hydro’s seemingly runaway costs, along with Premier Christy Clark’s “core review” to cut $50 million a year from government operations.

NDP energy critic John Horgan highlighted the latest BC Hydro troubles in his assault on the B.C. Liberal budget.

First there was a $140-million cost overrun on the Northwest Transmission Line, under construction north from Terrace to the tiny Tahltan village of Iskut Tom and adjacent mine propFletcher erties.

Then BC Hydro revealed results of an audit of its earthquake preparedness. “Condition red” was the key message. Basically, the sprawling utility has disaster plans for each of its dams or other power facilities, but no overall way to get the provincial power grid back up after a major earthquake.

Horgan recited his list of BC Hydro sins after a decade of meddling by the BC Liberals: Huge deferred debt revealed by the Auditor General, enor-

VICTORIA VIEWS

mous liabilities for private power contracts, and more rate increases that Bennett has already admitted are on the way. And now they can’t even keep us safe from the big one.

Bennett fired back. About $2 billion of that debt is for seismic upgrades for the 80-year-old Ruskin Dam in Maple Ridge, and the equally frail John Hart Dam on the Campbell River, built with wooden water pipes. Major BC Hydro works slowed down after completion of Revelstoke and Mica dams in the 1980s, and now the work is more expensive.

The Northwest Transmission Line is a partnership with Imperial Metals, which wants to power its Red Chris copper-gold-silver mine. Bennett said the company is not only paying for the last section to Iskut and the mine site, but pitching in for the main line as well.

Ottawa paid $130 million to get remote communities off decades of dependence on diesel generators.

AltaGas, owner of one of those private power projects in the region, puts in $180 million to get connected to the grid. The line will open up more mining and hydro possibilities.

The cost overrun traces back mainly to the shortage of high-skill labour such as geotechnical engineering that the remote region already faces. And this is before natural gas pipelines and LNG plants gear up.

Bennett takes over from the last sheriff, Rich Coleman, who put BC Hydro through the wringer in 2011.

Coleman soon abandoned his idea of putting off the Ruskin and John Hart upgrades (again) to keep rates low

LETTERS

A Tradition of Sound Advice

▼ WAR ON DRUGS

Only criminal gangs hurt by legalizing pot To the editor: Concerning the letter writer who thinks that the “war on drugs” is a good way to spend taxpayer’s money. (War On Drugs Good Use Of Tax Dollars, July 5 Capital News.)

I’d like to know how much homework went into her forming this opinion?

First and foremost, it’s a total waste of money as

it has been for 40 years.

The U.S. alone has spent over a trillion dollars trying to fix it.

Your letter writer might want to take the rose coloured glasses off and take a look at the real world.

Secondly, our jails and courts are getting overfull of pot offenders, almost a million people have been charged with some sort

of pot offence in Canada when the real drug problems in society ,such as coke, heroin, ice, ecstacy, meth, etc., go unpunished in large part due to the politics of law enforcement .

They would much rather spend money and manpower on busting grow ops, because of the multitude of them and the great PR it brings on the

front page of newspapers.

Unfortunately, all that money and manpower is being spent on the wrong drug enforcement.

It’s ludicrous to even think that making marijuana legal isn’t a good thing. Just for one reason alone, never mind the others that I’ve stated, and that’s the organized crime gangs that it will hurt. It would definitely make a

huge dent in their business .

It’s unfortunate that your letter writer, and others, have this 1950s attitude to a real problem.

Well, it’s 2013 people and it’s time to get it together to rid society of the hard drugs.

‘War on cannabis’ continues to destroy families To the editor: Re: War On Drugs Good Use Of Tax Dollars, July 5 Capital News.

Insanity was once defined as “repeating the same actions over and over while expecting different results.”

This “war on drugs” has been in effect for over 40 years and all we have to show for it is more drugs, better quality drugs, and criminal organizations getting filthy rich from the very implementation of this war.

So supporting the continuation of these actions is supporting the insanity of an ob-

viously failed policy.

Over 80 per cent of drug arrests are cannabis related, so the war in reality is The War On Cannabis.

With cannabis being safer to consume than salt, sugar, tobacco, alcohol, caffeine and almost all pharmaceutical drugs, it is illogical and irrational to outright prohibit the responsible adult use of cannabis.

As we are seeing in the United States the time is very near for the legalization and regulation of cannabis. Colorado and Washington states have outright legalized the possession

of cannabis, and Colorado has even put in a personal production clause.

I personally feel, as do many others, that the prohibition of cannabis is doing way more harm to society than cannabis has ever, or will ever do.

This tax funded “war on drugs” has destroyed many Canadian families but I am yet to see a family destroyed by the simple consumption of cannabis.

Lady impressed when young man changes flat To the editor: I was driving south on Pandosy recently, after work, when somebody behind me kept beeping their horn at me.

When I stopped for a red light I got out and asked the young driver in a navy Toyota pickup

truck if there was a reason for beeping.

He pointed at my right rear tire and said that I had a flat. I thanked him and got back in my car and turned the right corner and stopped, wondering what to do next.

I saw the young man

also had turned and parked behind me. I got out and asked him whether he might have an iPhone that I could use to look up a phone number of a tow truck.

He replied he had not, but he would change my tire for me quickly, no

problem.

So he did.

I was impressed by this young man’s gracious offer and his great attitude helping this old lady out without a second thought.

He made by day—no, my week!

I failed to ask his name

but he said he works for Rayburn’s Marine, so this is my way of saying thanks. I hope you will print this letter.

▼ BC HYDRO

Getting the grid up to spec Fletcher from A8 through the election, and saw the B.C. Utilities Commission jack up the rate increase to seven per cent to help slow the ballooning debt.

What’s ahead for rates? The utility is looking for 32 per cent in the next three years, says energy lawyer David Austin. He calculates that

only 2.5 per cent is attributable to increased private power costs. Among other things, BC Hydro needs regional emergency centres capable of functioning after a Japan-sized quake, plus expansion.

Bennett came clean on another reason for rate increases—the government’s increasing dependence on taking a “dividend” as BC Hydro’s lone

“shareholder.”

The newly updated budget tells us this annual “dividend” is past $500 million and rising fast: $545 million this year, $611 million next year and $684 million the year after.

▼ CITY PARK PLAN

Last chance to air your feelings T here are aspects of the proposed new design for Kelowna’s City Park that are quite exciting.

But, it’s a long-term plan that should both constitute the vision of the people of Kelowna and that will work—not one that includes compromises that will prevent it from being viable.

I have been convinced of the importance of constructing another building

ficiency.

It stands to reason that visitors to Kelowna and to the park will tend to stop there and ask questions and expect to be able to pick up maps and brochures and information about the area, so that should be included.

With that in mind, it makes sense to include the Tourism Kelowna offices there. Perhaps the Thompson-Okanagan Tourism Association should rent space there as well.

However, I still maintain it’s ludicrous to encourage motorhomes and people hauling travel trailers to drive into downtown Kelowna for tourist information, particularly now that travel has been reduced to one lane each way on the new, improved main drag.

Tourism Kelowna needs to locate tourist information booths on the

highways entering Kelowna at both ends for rubber tire traffic, particularly big rigs, rather than luring them into the centre of the city, if our downtown is to truly be pedestrian-oriented.

If those tourists are of interest to businesses in downtown Kelowna, (and they ought to be as they spend money), then a spacious, secure parking area for big rigs needs to be set aside near the downtown area, just off the highway.

That would allow those tourists to walk to City Park and stroll through downtown and along the beach, leaving behind a trail of greenbacks.

Then it wouldn’t be necessary to destroy any more of the greenspace (actually, it would be the rose gardens and tulip-bordered Veendam Way) in City Park for an asphalt parking lot for

Misting Systems 101…..

As we transition from the June monsoon season to July’s heat wave, one asks…is there a way to stay cool on our deck or patio? Yes there is. Install a misting system and you will wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. There are many types of misting systems available. Depending on how big an area you need to cover will determine the correct system required. One great way to get started is with a DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Patio Misting System. A DIY kit will give you the basic materials required to set up a simple and easy to use misting system that can be installed in a matter of minutes and enjoyed while sitting on your deck or patio.

Lets look at how misting systems work? High pressure misting is one of the most effective and efficient methods available for cooling open outdoor areas. Mist cooling works by forcing water through specially designed misting nozzles to create a fog of ultra fine water droplets. The water droplets quickly evaporate which then in turn cool the surrounding air. When properly designed, a mist cooling system will work with prevailing winds and air movement. A misting system can be combined with misting fans to move mist or cooled air into the cooled zones. In most cases a misting system will reduce temperatures by as much as 10-25 degrees with the use of fans to facilitate evaporation.

There are many applications for Misting systems: agriculture, commercial, restaurants, hospitality, industrial, residential and even special effects. For more information on how to utilize misting systems and advice on how to properly setup and install your own, please stop by the store and talk to any of our great staff.

JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS

TIME IS running out for the public to voice their feelings about proposed changes to Kelowna’s City Park. recreational vehicles.

RVs will just snarl traffic up something fierce trying to turn left out of City Park to head downtown, or to turn right and get back on the highway—if they’re headed south on the highway.

But, what about visitors travelling north?

How will they get from the new Tourism Kelowna office in City Park to where they can turn left onto Highway 97 to go northbound?

They’ll either have to travel back across the bridge to West Kelowna, take the double roundabout to get back onto the bridge—again—and head north, or they’ll have to drive through narrow streets in downtown Kelowna to make a left turn at Ellis or Richter.

Do we really want

visitors driving big rigs using downtown streets just to access the highway? It makes no sense to me. We need to reduce traffic congestion downtown, not increase it.

Pedestrian-friendly, remember?

And the other issue I’m not excited about in the new plan for City Park, is it unceremoniously deleted the historic lawn bowling facility, which has held a place in the park for some 80 years, and which encourages seniors to enjoy their park as well as toddlers, teens and families.

That’s just plain wrong.

If you haven’t already, make your feelings known about these two deficiencies in the new plan.

The deadline for com-

ment is Monday, July 15, at www.kelowna.ca/ mycitypark or you can contact city hall or a city councillor by phone, e-mail or mail.

UPCOMING

The annual Fintry Summer Fair takes place Sunday, July 14, at Fintry Provincial Park, located off Westside Road, to celebrate B.C. Parks Day. An early bird pancake breakfast will run from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m., and then the fair will open with the Kalamalka Pipe Band. Artists and artisans will exhibit their work, and collectibles will be up for sale.

A barbecue lunch will be available at noon, and there’ll be live music in the afternoon.

Admission to the grounds and tours of the Manor House and barns will be by donation, with proceeds going to continued upkeep and restoration work on the historic buildings.

That same morning, there’ll be nearly 800 cyclists gathering at Myra for the 80-kilometre ride down to Penticton, where they’ll be wined and dined.

A portion of the proceeds from this non-competitive, family event, will go toward upkeep of the trail that is part of the Trans Canada Trail, through historic Myra Canyon, by the Myra Canyon Trestle Restoration Society.

Called the Okanagan Trestles Tour, organizer Glenn Bond says it celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Okanagan Mountain Park wildfire that destroyed most of the wooden trestle bridges in the canyon. They were rebuilt and re-opened five years ago. Hope everyone has fun! jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Snowy hamlet where band gets stoked Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

In the beginning, some work for food, others for lodging, heck there’s probably plenty who would work for a good beer.

Shred Kelly took nothing less than ski passes.

“Marketing yourself as a ski-town band has its perks,” said lead singer Sage McBride. “And another good thing about playing a lot in ski communities is that they are revolving communities…

It’s nice because it’s not really a market you can overplay.”

Their “stoke folk”— as in get happy, get stoked, bounce out of the concert feeling the kind of toe-tapping energy one needs to make it through the next day as a liftie in -15 C weather on a mountain— has nevertheless rolled across the country on the CBC Tracks on Tracks train tour.

Billed as a showcase of the best of the best CBC Radio has to offer, one can imagine kicking back in Fernie, B.C. might not be a permanent choice for the band.

They’re pretty committed to small town living, though, and say if it’s not Fernie, it’s going to be some other snow-crested hamlet.

“We’ve talked about it and we know that being from a smaller area has its hinderances…but it’s become a part of our identity,” said McBride. “Fernie is very relevant to who we are as a band.”

At present, music occupies 50 per cent of their year and the other 50 per

Canada’s best sellers Michael Neill’s list of best selling books are compiled from sales at independent bookstores across Canada.

SNOWBOARDERS, with bass player Jordan Vlasschaert on skis, Shred Kelly will offer up stoke folk at its finest when they arrive for their free concert in Waterfront Park as part of the Parks Alive! series. cent must be spent working to make rent. For a band that only met in 2009, their progress is nonetheless consistent.

Starting their career in true folk, largely acoustic with a lap steel guitar, they had the feel of foot stomping, mountain twang off the top. But just as the Kootenay music scene is now one part folk, one part Shambhala Music Festival hippie electronic mania, so too is their newer music.

And the creative experimentation that got them to this stage has also provided a platform for some other insane adventures.

FERNIE IS VERY RELEVANT TO WHO WE ARE AS A BAND. Sage McBride

Newton built a full set of frozen instruments for their latest video.

Carving moulds in the snow, he placed plastic wrap down to hold the water and poured days of energy into his creations.

All was going well until the snow began to melt in a warm weather snap and the group found themselves driving to Cranbrook to snag a freezer that just might save the

masterpieces. So quick was the turnaround the freezer’s owner didn’t have time to clean out the dead cow guts—but the instruments survived.

When your crew is a bunch of snowboarders, strange tales come with the territory and suffering for the craft has proven an excellent vocation for the five bandmates.

So far, they’ve picked up free tickets as Whitewater and Red Mountain, Sun Peaks and Lake Louise, Mt. Norquay, Castle Mountain and they’ve played Golden enough times to call Kicking Horse home.

This summer, they’ll be playing the Ottawa Folk Festival where Neil

Young takes the stage and they are finally going to play Shambhala and The Evolve Festival in Antigonish, Nova Scotia with headliner Xavier Rudd.

In Kelowna,their tour stop is part of the Parks Alive! free concert series.

Hosted by Festivals Kelowna on the Island Stage in Waterfront Park on August 7 at 6 p.m., they will be sharing the evening with The Marksmen at 7 p.m. and Lefty at 8 p.m.

The Kelowna Resource Centre of the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. needs volunteers for a variety of administrative tasks.

The work is essential to the society’s support of local families living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias.

Dementia already affects an estimated one in 11 B.C. residents over age 65, and that number is projected to double over the next generation.

The resulting need for assistance is soaring, and volunteers help ensure that the demand is met.

“You’ll know you have been helping people at a significant moment in their lives,”said Lila Sofonoff, the society’s first link coordinator for Kelowna.

Volunteers are asked for at least one threehour shift per week, during which they will handle a variety of duties, including helping with mail outs, packaging education materials, assisting the walk-in public, answering phones, sending out email notices, and working with databases.

Customer service skills, computer skills (Word, Outlook, Excel), and previous experience operating office equipment are required.

Volunteers should also be fluent in English (an additional language would be an asset) and available during the day.

Kamloops Venom strikes end to Kelowna Raiders’ season Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

After finishing in top spot in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League, the Kelowna Raiders had visions of a long and prosperous summer playoff run.

Much to their chagrin, the Raiders’ 2013 campaign ended abruptly this week at the hands of the defending champion Kamloops Venom.

The Venom edged the Raiders 6-5 on Wednesday night in Kamloops, taking the best-of-five semifinal series in five games.

The Venom, who struggled early in the season, hit their stride in time for the playoffs and the Raiders didn’t have an answer.

“We played well, our most complete game of the series (Wednesday)

but we just couldn’t get the breaks or the goals when we needed them,” said Raiders head coach Travis Wray. “Kamloops really tightened up on defense and our top guns didn’t produce the way we had hoped.”

Evan Helgesen scored twice, while Andrew McMillan, Jaman Heslop and Ryley MacLennan added singles for the Raiders who won Game 1 of the series, only to lose the last three against a determined Kamloops squad.

“Ultimately, what it came down to was offensively (the Venom) really attacked our net, they won the loose balls and faceoffs, and had the edge in possession,” Wray said.

“In lacrosse, possession is such a huge part of the game.”

Even with the early exit, the 2013 season was a vast improvement for

the Raiders (12-3-1) who won just four games last year en route to missing the playoffs.

“It was a really good turnaround year for us,” Wray said. “Considering we had seven new guys in the lineup, we’re happy with how competitive we were.

“Our 20-year-olds were great role models, I loved the effort we got from our veteran guys…it was a great year.”

For Wray’s part, it just may be his last season as head coach of the Raiders.

The former Raiders’ player has spent the last eight years behind the junior team’s bench and is currently weighing his options.

“It might be time to get a new face and new voice in there,” said Wray.

“It’s a long time for the same guy to be giving the same speeches. More than

ever, I’m thinking of stepping down.”

Wray expects to decide on his status as the club’s coach by the end of the summer.

Meanwhile, the Venom will face the Vernon Tigers in the best-of-five TOJLL final.

SENIOR RAIDERS…

The Kelowna Raiders will visit the Armstrong Shamrocks Friday in Game 2 of their Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League opening-round playoff series.

The Raiders lead the best-of-three 1-0 after an 8-5 victory in the series opener on Wednesday at Memorial Arena.

The Raiders got on the board early in the first with three quick goals, then held off the Rocks the rest of the way. Outstanding goaltending by Graham Cousins and a stellar per-

Summerland duo PGA of BC’s assistant pro champions Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

Gallagher’s Canyon Golf and Country Club was the scene for local golf pros and the birdies were flying all over the course this week as Gallagher’s hosted the 2013 PGA of B.C.’s Pro-Assistant Championships.

And when the dust settled it was Tyrel Babkirk and Greg Machtaler of the Summerland Golf and Country Club who were raising the trophy after posting a minus 20 total over two days to win the event.

Third place went to Seymour Creek’s James Legault and Bryn Parrywhile tied for fourth were Gorge

Vale’s Edd Boudreau and Jim Cook and Fairview Mountain’s Brian McDonald and Danny Long “This feels so good, getting my first professional (win),” said Babkirk. “Greg and I are great friends and he played so well.”

The winning margin came on the Summerland duo’s final hole, as Machtaler hammered a drive, Babkirk wedged it to 10 feet and Machtaler sank the putt for the duo’s fourth birdie in the last five holes.

“It was my best putt of the day,” said Machtaler, who is no stranger to winning, having won the

PGA of BC Assistants Championship at Chilliwack last month with a closing round 65.

The Summerland duo cashed a winning cheque for $2,250 and supplemented it with a $680 skin for their eagle on the 12th hole on Monday.

Machtaler said the turning point for his team was a sloppy par on the par 5 12th hole, where eagle and birdie were the norm in the team event.

“We’re 210 yards out after our drive and we make five and that really got us steamed,” said Machtaler. “We parred the next but then we made three birdies in a row.”

After a par at the 17th, Babkirk told his partner that a birdie on the last might be important.

“To get it to 20-under would be a great number to get to,” said Babkirk.

And with both partners contributing to the cause, that ended up being the final margin of victory.

The final round, played under a scramble format, saw some impressive performances from many teams, including many players driving the green on the 15th and almost driving the 17th green.

A slew of local teams were tied for sixth place at the event with a minus-16

total, four shots off the pace. Rob Anderson and Jamie Stevens as well as Jonathan Kadin and Jason Jurimae of Gallagher’s were tied with Dean Claggett and Ethan Danish (Two Eagles), Dan Matheson and Miles Palahniuk (Okanagan Golf Club) and Bruce Vermee and Mike Loewen (Sunset Ranch).

Russ Latimer and Taylor Fahey of Black Mountain were 11th while Chad Scott and Justin Fram of the Harvest and Peter Hopley and Connor Stephen of Gallagher’s were T14. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

▼ SWIMMING

Ogopogo Swim Club members dominate at Merritt meet Kelowna’s Ogopogo Swim Club set the standard for all others clubs at a meet last weekend in Merritt.

Each swimmer competed in a gruelling seven individual events and two relays over the course of two days, as the Ogopogos easily won the overall title by more than 400 points.

“This was a very successful meet for us; almost every swimmer on our team swam amazingly well. I think winning this meet by such a large margin sets us up nicely for regionals, where we will prove we are the best team in the Okanagan,” said co-head coach Lucas Stringer.

Not only did the Ogos win the overall title, but also earned first-place finishes for both girls and boys teams.

While the victory was the result of a team effort, the Ogo team did have some stand out performances. For example, Div 3 girl Kennedy Dickie posted a 40.86 in the 50 breaststroke, breaking the

In Div 1 both Andrea Kraetzer (div 1 girls) and Flyn Huber (div 1 boys) won themselves a gold aggregate.

“I think it is great to

I think both these swimmers have very bright futures ahead of them” said co-head coach Greg Laughlin.

Sun to field tougher, deeper team for 2013 Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

With a new head coach at the controls, and half of the club’s 72man roster pulling on orange and brown for the first time, expect the Okanagan Sun to be a markedly different club in 2013.

If all goes as planned,

Shane Beatty and his staff will field a tougher, edgier and more athletic squad than the one that posted a dismal 3-7 record during the 2012 B.C. Football Conference season.

“We were soft on offense, soft on defense and soft on special teams last year, and that has to change,” said Beatty, a former Sun player who is in his rookie season as the club’s head coach.

“As coaches, it’s going to be our job to get the kids mentally and physically prepared to play hard and play physical on every down. We want to be the kind of team that flies around, makes plays, and makes life really tough on our opponents.”

Now a week into training camp, Beatty and his staff are starting to get a clearer picture of what the Sun will look like when it takes to the Apple Bowl turf July 27 for the club’s

Shane Beatty season opener against the Chilliwack Huskers.

At quarterback, incumbent Cam Bedore is being pushed for the starting role by Theo Deezar, a 6-foot-5 Winnipeg native who spent last season with the Manitoba Bisons.

“Both kids compete hard, both have strong arms, so we’re happy with the way that position is shaping up,” said Beatty.

“Both are smart players, so I think this one will go down to the wire. It’ll be fun to watch.”

At running back, Beatty said a three-horse race is taking shape between returnees Alex Bradley and Dillon Fortune, along with newcomer Marcus Cooper.

On the offensive line, where bodies are always at a premium, the coaching staff has 11 players to work with, led by veteran returnees Devon Kozar and Will Halibiski.

One of the deepest areas of the ball club is at the receiver positions where 16 players will compete for playing time.

Veterans Tommy Howes, Kyle Patchell, Jesse Kendall and Thomas Huber, among others, will be joined by a stable of newcomers including Zach Regert, Deion Bain and Lerone Robinson.

On defense, the D-line will feature returnees Zach Ironstand and Jonas Gering on the ends, along with Terrence Mendes in the middle.

The linebacking corps will be anchored by veteran returnee Brandon Don-

kers, while newcomers JT Fernandez and Lucas Machado will also be excepted to make an impact.

The Sun won’t be lacking for bodies in the defensive secondary where 19 players are expected suit up for the start of the season. Veterans Robbie Yochim, Jack Rush, Jamie Turek, Brennan Van Nistelrooy, Steven Ruddy and Landon King will help provide depth and stability at all positions in the defensive backfield.

“It’s a very fast, physical and athletic group,” Beatty added.

“We’re very deep back there and really pleased with the group we have.”

As for the kicking game, Beatty said the place kicking and punting duties remain up in the air, but some decisions could be made by this weekend.

MORGAN LOFSTROM and the Okanagan Athletics will close out the BCPBL regular season this weekend against the North Delta Blue Jays. the regular season.

While the scenario facing the A’s is far from ideal, Bailey said at least his club is alive and kicking heading into the last series of the season.

“Obviously it’s not the

situation we wanted to be in, but I told the guys at least our last series of the year means something,” Bailey said. “I wish we were in already, but that’s not the case. It’s nice to know these games are im-

portant, we just need to get a little lucky.”

The 2013 season hasn’t unfolded at all the way Bailey and the defending champion A’s had hoped, as the club stumbled out to a 5-16 start and simply hasn’t been able to make up the slack.

While the club’s hitting and defense have been solid all season, a lack of pitching depth has been the team’s undoing.

An injury to James Walker and the absence of national team member Morgan Lofstrom have both figured into the club’s mound woes.

“It’s 100 per cent pitching,” Bailey said.

“That’s not a knock on any one guy, it’s just that we have the second worst pitching in the league and it’s certainly not what we expected. We lack the numbers of pitchers we need and we just haven’t been able to make that up.”

If the A’s do find a way into the post-season, they would be on the road for the playoffs the weekend of July 27 and 28.

Kapchinsky fired a two-under-par 69 on the final day of the junior girls provincial golf championships to finish in fourth place all alone at the event.

A member at the Harvest, Kapchinsky opened with a 72 and also had rounds of 77 and 74 at the event. her total score was just six shots out of third place and a chance to play for Team B.C. at the Canadian junior championships.

Jessica Claggett of Two Eagles also had an excellent tournament, shooting 79-71-78-82 to finish in 15th position out of over 50 players.

Kylie Jack of Two Eagles finished in 28th with rounds of 80-81-78-85 while Lauren Rutherglen of the Harvest finished 34th (87-82-81-79.

••• Steven Lee of Kelowna was the top local finisher at the 2013 B.C. Junior

4 games. After losing 7-5 in Burnaby to open the weekend, Kelowna pitcher Joel Lamont tossed a two hit gem as the Jays shut-out Burnaby 8-0. Lamont struck out 10 and walked four in the win.

Sunday saw the Jays go into Seattle to play the always powerful Studs.

After jumping out to a 6-1 lead, the Jays couldn’t hold down the top semipro team in the Northwest as they put together a 7 run 5th inning ultimately won 11–6.

In the weekend’s final game the Studs again prevailed with a 6–0 win.

Rookie Kelowna pitcher Gage Mclaren had a solid effort on the mound but Jays hitters managed just a pair of hits.

Boys golf Championships played late last week at the Revelstoke Golf Club.

Lee fired four rounds in the 70s to finish in a tie for 37th at the event which featured over 150 boys from around the province taking part.

The Kelowna Golf and Country Club junior shot 78-74-73-77 to finish at plus-14 for the event.

Casey Sullivan, also from KGCC had rounds of 76-76-79-73 to finish T46 while Lionel Taylor of the KGCC was 68th after shooting 77-73-81-82.

Colton Share of Lake Country, Nicholas Jones of Kelowna, Branden Jewsbury of West Kelowna and Brandon Whistle, Cole Baldigara and Marcus Apchin of Kelowna, also played but missed the cut.

••• Kelowna professional golfer Kyla Inaba is learning what it’s like as a touring pro after a busy five week schedule had her play in five different events, kicking it off with

a pair of CN Canadian Women’s Tour events.

Inaba finished T23 after shooting 77-74 in a rain soaked event at Golf de Cowansville in Quebec before heading to the Ambassador Golf Club in Windsor, ON, the next week where she scrambled well en route to rounds of 74-72 and a tie for 27th.

Inaba then travelled to the Michigan Women’s Open where she shot 7476-74 and a tie for 25th.

Up next was the Canadian Women’s PGA championship in Georgetown, ON, where Inaba continued to work on her game with what she called a Jeckel and Hyde performance, shooting 75-78 for a tie for 52nd.

After that event and with the LPGA Tour stopping in Waterloo, ON, Inaba jumped into the Monday qualifier at the Whistle Bear course, a private, links style club in Cambridge, Ontario. Despite four birdies on the back nine, she fell short of qualifying for the LPGA tournament.

Acupuncture can offer relief from muscle cramping

A

muscle cramp is a sudden and involuntary spasm or contraction of one or more of the muscles in the tbody, causing a sudden, sharp muscle pain.

You may be able to nfeel or see a hard lump of emuscle tissue beneath the eskin.

- Muscle cramps often doccur in the legs. Noctur-nal cramps that occur in sthe calf muscles or toes dduring sleep are also comfmon. Though generally harmless, muscle cramps can make it temporarily nimpossible to use the af-fected muscle.

Muscle cramps can sbe caused by overuse of a -muscle, such as long periods of exercise or physical labour, particularly in ,hot weather. , d a

NEEDLE NOTES

James Kaufman They may also be caused by dehydration, muscle strain, or holding a position for a prolonged period of time.

In many cases,the cause of a muscle cramp isn’t known.

Sometimes they may be caused by certain medications or related to an underlying medical condition such as arteriosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries) in the arteries that deliver blood to the legs, causing leg or foot

cramps while exercising; compression of the nerves in the spine (lumbar stenosis); or mineral depletion such as a shortage of potassium, calcium, or magnesium due to diet or medications.

Muscle cramps can also be due to certain conditions such as kidney, thyroid, nerve, or hormone disorders, diabetes, hypoglycemia and anemia.

Muscle cramps usually disappear on their own and can be treated with self-care measures such as stretching and massaging the muscle and applying warmth to it.

However, for some people, muscle cramps can be an ongoing problem and can be very difficult to live with, inter-

fering with sleep or daily routines.

Acupuncture is an effective option for relieving and resolving muscle cramps. Muscle cramps are typically a sign that there is a blockage of blood and energy flowing to an area of the body.

When this happens, it causes that area to become weak and less able to perform properly, making the area more vulnerable to injury, over-fatigue and pain.

In addition, with Chinese medicine the liver and gallbladder meridians are responsible for nourishing the tendons and ligaments of the body.

If there is an imbalance in these organs or if they are not functioning properly, muscle cramps

can be one of the resulting symptoms.

Acupuncture treatment for muscle cramps will typically involve restoring the liver energy flow and treating any problems with the way that it is functioning.

By addressing the underlying health conditions or imbalances that may be contributing to the occurrence of muscle cramps, we can help to restore health with the goal of preventing muscle cramps from occurring again in the future.

Acupuncture can help to increase blood circulation, relieve muscle spasms and relax the body and the results are usually quite immediate.

This makes it a very effective option for treat

aged to enter their water-wise gardens in the contest.

Open to residential and commercial xeriscape gardens, contestants are asked to take before and after photographs and become familiar with the princi-

ples of xeriscape, as detailed on the Okanagan Xeriscape Association website, www.okanaganxeriscape.org.

Winners will be recognized on the OXA website and receive a specially designed and inscribed

garden ornament. All entries are

eligible for draw prizes.

Kelowna ties to B.C. premiers continues

t’s official. Premier Christy Clark is ours whether we want her or not, and according to the election results we want her.

Clark snagged her needed earned spot in the provincial legislature Wednesday, defeating several other candidates in the Westside-Kelowna riding with 63 per cent of the vote.

In reality, the end result was no surprise to the majority of residents and media, though many speculated on the possible reactions and responses if Clark had been trumped and sent packing by the electorate.

However, in true Social Credit birthplace response, the ballot decision was pretty much a matter of fact long before the election polls even opened.

Clark may now lay claim to her title as provincial premier, and has the unique pleasure of continuing the lineage of ‘Kelowna-based’ leaders in Victoria.

In her winning speech, Clark indicated her political aspirations are far from over, stating she would work hard for the local voters now and into the next election.

Interesting enough, Clark still would have won the fight even if only NDP candidate Carole Gordon had opposed her since all of the votes to the remaining other candidates involved would still not have earned Gordon a win.

Clark snagged more than 60 per cent of the vote—over 10,600—with Gordon earning nearly 30 per cent of the more than 17,000 ballots cast.

Forgotten already, of course, is the advanced scout who helped path find the victory for Clark, kicked to the curb former MLA Ben Stewart.

Despite story-bending by others, Clark decided which riding she would take her second chance on, and she picked Westside-Kelowna.

Stewart smiled the hero’s smile and naturally tossed his support behind her. However, now that the election song and dance is over, it will be interesting to see when and how he is rewarded for his loyalty.

Make no mistake, Stewart did not want to go. He will not get a pension for completing a second elected term, nor will he earn the lucrative dollars as an MLA along with all the perks that go with the public spotlight

Following quickly on the heels of the bizarre and disappointing announcement that the Canucks hired John Tortorella as their new head coach comes the surprising announcement that the team has traded young goaltender Corey Schneider to New Jersey instead of unloading Roberto Luongo.

Say what?

Not only is Vancouver stuck with Lou’s absurd contract, but also, it seems, with the controversy and distraction.

At the end of the day, all Vancouver received for the talented Schneider is the ninth overall first round pick, which is a fleecing in itself.

Ironically, that decision was announced a few days prior to the Tampa Bay Lightning giving up on veteran star Vincent LeCavalier and letting him resign with another club.

There had been rumours of Vancouver dealing Luongo for LeCavalier during last season, yet Vancouver GM Mike Gillis once again did nothing.

Surely Gillis’ days must be numbered as GM. Not only did he trade away or lose young players in the past such as Michael Grabner and Cody Hodgson, he has now lost Schneider and hired a throw-back bully as coach.

Yup—time to toss in the Canuck fan club membership and hit the beach.

Springer Park will be the second of three West Kelowna parks improvement projects opening this summer, a part of council’s commitment to revitalize Westbank Centre and improve access to the waterfront.

Springer Park improvements benefited from a $100,000 contribution from developers of the Gateway project on Brown Road.

Christopher Reynolds CONTRIBUTOR

Japanese artist Hokusai liked Mt. Fuji.

Really liked it. So in the 1820s and 1830s, he made a series of 36 woodblock prints of the mountain, from near and far, in summer and winter. When they went over well, he made 10 more scenes.

Then, because an artist must follow his muse, he started a new series: 100 views of Mt. Fuji.

When I’m looking at Half Dome, the great granite hood ornament of Yosemite National Park, I understand Hokusai and Fuji. You see Half Dome on a century’s worth of postcards, on Ansel Adams prints and Sierra Club calendars, on your waiter’s name tag at the Wawona Hotel, on the new California driver’s licenses.

Yet to me, it seems inexhaustible.

When I visited Yosemite with photographer Mark Boster in late May, we glanced at a few other popular spots, but mostly we chased Half Dome variations. Though we didn’t summit the big rock—the climbing cables weren’t in place for the season—we saw it from so many directions and elevations that I started thinking of it as the third member of our traveling party.

Some people say Half Dome looks like a football helmet or a broken bowling ball. I always saw a dented ranger’s hat. Until this trip.

For a proper introduction or a ritual re-introduction, a traveler heads from the park’s south entrance to the Tunnel View turnout. You may find yourself standing in a crowd— on a busy day, 5,000 people pause here—but you’ll spot Half Dome, bracketed by El Capitan to the left, Cathedral Rocks and Bridalveil Fall to the right.

No view can match this. But just up the road, plenty can.

Bob Roney, author of “The Road Guide to Yosemite” and a ranger here for 40-plus years, met us at Tunnel View to explain how a work crew in the early 1930s spent months creating a shortcut for travelers, using a ton of blasting powder daily to make about 20 feet of progress.

Eventually, they had the Wawona Tunnel, nearly a mile long, and a small mountain of tailings at its east end. And somebody realized that the new mound had a big view.

Naturally, it didn’t take long after the tunnel’s 1933 opening for Ansel Adams to turn up with his tripod. Before long, Tunnel View was the iconic Yosemite view. It scarce-

ly changed for 75 years, until a 2008 upgrade that smoothed traffic flow and opened up the view by cutting down a bunch of trees. Yes, the park service does that sometimes.

Still, Roney reminded us, no panorama is permanent, especially in a park that records dozens of rockfalls every year. “Sure as time moves forward,” Roney said, “this view will be wrecked by some other geologic event,” perhaps transformed “into something even more beautiful.”

And so to Mirror Lake, which is really a seasonal water hole a mile’s walk from the Mirror Lake shuttle-bus stop.

In spring, if kids aren’t splashing, the still water gives you a perfect reflection of shapely Mt. Watkins to the north. The view is so mesmerizing, in fact,

that you might not realize the stone wall just east of you is the base of Half Dome.

And it was near here, at 5:26 a.m. on March 28, 2009, that 115,000 tons of boulders and debris rained down from Ahwiyah Point, 1,800 feet up, near Half Dome. The impact generated a blast of air that leveled hundreds of trees up to 50 yards away. Nobody was hurt.

But rockfalls (both naturally occurring and human-caused) occasionally do kill people in Yosemite.

Falling rocks dislodged by climbers killed one El Capitan climber on May 20, another on June 2.

I soaked my feet in the shallows, listening for distant rumbles. Then Mark and I headed for the high country.

At Olmsted Point, along Tioga Road, we

found a rock scape scoured by ancient ice and peppered with “erratics,” stray boulders nudged into strange places by glacial advances. From there, Half Dome is a far-off rounded lump that sometimes glows red at sunset.

For us it turned a faint orange.

Another day, we drove to Glacier Point, which is only 7,214 feet above sea level but feels like the roof of the Earth, with jaw-dropping views of the valley. From there you seem to be even with Half Dome (though you’re really 1,600 feet below it), and the spectacle is an invitation to consider eternity and forget petty human affairs.

But then you’d miss the hooded photographer fussing with his 8-bySee Yosemite A26

Point, you are reminded how puny Yosemite Valley is: 7 miles long and a mile wide, surrounded by nearly 1,200 more square miles of rugged high-country parkland. But Washburn Point also has a different angle on Half Dome, an angle that shows it isn’t a dome at all. To my eyes,

it’s a thick, uneven slice of bread, maybe the heel of the loaf. Of course, it’s epic and all that, but you’d never make it your logo.

The Half Dome we love is the well-rounded idea of Half Dome, as seen from the valley, Olmsted Point and Glacier Point. Seeing its unrounded backside is like

being told that Humphrey Bogart never said, “Play it again, Sam” in “Casablanca.” Part of you doesn’t want to know.

And the other part figures that’s a good reason to watch the movie again.

Black Press - July 13 Sorrento and Australia

you need a clear, summery day, a permit, strong legs, strong lungs, food, water, a flashlight and a plan.

A few things you need in order to hike Half Dome: • A clear, summery day. Because hiking Half Dome can be dangerous, the park service strongly discourages hiking it in the rain, when there are storm clouds or any time but in summer. Rangers say five hikers have died on the trail in the last decade, most losing their footing, often in the rain. To make things easier for hikers in the summer months, rangers put up removable steel cables just before Memorial Day most years to help climbers ascend the last 400 feet to the top. The cables come down around Columbus Day (in October).

• A permit from the National Park Service. To keep the trail from clogging with traffic when the cables are up, rangers require that you have a permit, and they set a limit of 300 hikers a day. Fees are $12.50 (if you apply online) or $14.50 (by phone). Check the Yosemite website at www.nps. gov/yose/planyourvisit/ hdpermits.htm.

Nissan’s work van gets the job done Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR

JIM ROBINSON/CONTRIBUTOR

NISSAN has entered the compact commercial van segment with the 2013 NV200 that starts at $21,998.

to om 7 r f e s hoo

The compact commercial van—you wonder what took so long.

As thick as ants on the ground in Europe and Asia, North America was devoid of a small work van until three years ago when Ford started importing the Transit Connect with its compact car platform and outsized cargo area.

If you look back a few years earlier it all started with the Mercedes-Benz/ Dodge Sprinter that quickly muscled in on old-school domestic work vans such as the Ford E-Series and Chevy Express.

This emerging market was not lost on Nissan, a company that had a Euro compact commercial van of its own which it quickly turned into the NV200

Compact Cargo we see today.

Everyone now wants into this segment, with GM inking a deal to have the NV200 built under licence as the Chevrolet City Express.

The NV200 joins the NV1500/2500/3500 Cargo full-size cargo van and Nissan NV3500 Passenger four-row/12-person passenger van.

Nissan claims the NV200 has the best in class fuel economy, which is a moot point because the only one other competitor at this time is the Ford Transit Connect.

But as noted above, it won’t be a party for two much longer.

Because the Europeans and Japanese have been building these vans for decades, they make

MOTORING Nissan from B1 every millimetre of length, height and width work.

The NV200 has a payload of 679 kg and a cargo volume of 3,474 litres with a cargo height of 1,346 mm (53 in). To increase cargo volume, the passenger front seat can be folded flat.

The result is a large cargo area on a small footprint with minimal wheelhouse intrusion plus six floor-mounted D-ring tiedowns and 20 integrated cargo and roof mounting points.

To aid loading/unloading, the NV200 has tall cargo door openings (including the standard 40/60-split rear doors) and a low cargo floor lift-over height of 21.1 inches.

There are literally thousands of ways to custom fit everything from workbenches to storage bins in the NV200.

One interesting example at the recent press reveal in San Diego, was a mobile Gibson Guitar service truck with rollout rear

platform including all the tools needed to repair/service guitars.

Like Nissan, Gibson has a huge plant in Nashville, Tennessee, and I’ll bet we’ll see more of a relationship similar to what VW is doing with Fender.

The chassis is loosely based on the last generation Sentra with a front-mounted 2.0-litre DOHC inline four-cylinder powering the front wheels through Nissan’s ubiquitous Xtronic CVT (continuously variable transmission).

Producing 131 hp and 139 lb/ft of torque, fuel economy is listed as 8.7/7.1/8.0L/100 km on regular gas.

Towing is not recommended.

My co-driver and I took the NV200 out in its natural environment, the San Diego inner city, with mostly one-way streets, hoards of pedestrians and deeply rutted pavement.

The surprisingly tight turning circle (11.2 meters/36.2 feet) immediately stood out while the feedback through the

THE CARGO area of the NV200 can be fitted for hundreds of special uses such as this Gibson Guitar repair station.

JIM ROBINSON/CONTRIBUTOR

FULLY EMPTY, the NV200 offers 3,474 litres of cargo space with six, four-mounted tie-downs and 20 internal mounting points. steering wheel was only enough to tell you the wheels were turning but not a lot more.

This could be due to the high-pressure commercial tires on the NV200, which are necessary to cope with usual work loading.

We took the NV200 into the parking lot beside the USS Midway floating museum in San Diego to see how handy it would be parking in tight situations.

Here mirror positioning was key. Thanks to the almost dainty width and wheelbase, parking was a breeze and actually easier than a full-size minivan.

Available technology includes Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System (standard on the SV model), available NissanConnect with Navigation with 5.8-inch touch screen display, Nissan Voice Recognition for audio and navigation, with NavTraffic and NavWeather (Sirius subscription required, sold separately), POIs

powered by Google, Google Send-to-Car, streaming audio via Bluetooth, hands-free text messaging assistant, USB interface and RearView Monitor.

With raised seating, Nissan likes to call the driver/passenger area a “mobile office” with centre console featuring laptop/hanging file folder storage, pen/pencil tray, CD holder and dual cupholders.

This is aided by recessed storage areas provided on the upper instrument panel for folders and documents.

In addition, the passenger seat folds down to serve as a worktop or lunch table, or it extends the cargo space for hauling longer items such as pipe or lumber.

Passenger seat slide travel is nearly 9.5 inches.

The durable 15x13-inch tray built into the seatback can fit most laptops and includes a penholder for use as a desk.

Power windows with

JIM ROBINSON/CONTRIBUTOR

THE INTERIOR of the Nissan NV200 is simple and designed for work. Note the slot on the upper centre instrument panel for holding pencils, pens, papers etc. auto up/down are standard, as is a 12-volt power outlet on the instrument panel and an additional 12-volt power point in rear of centre console is available. There is also a passenger-side underseat storage tray, drive computer, battery saver feature, AM/FM/CD with auxiliary input and two front door mounted speakers.

The NV200 Compact Cargo is sold in two models, the S at $21,998 and the SV at $23,398. Options are few with Bluetooth ($250) on the S; and a glass rear door ($250) and the Technology Package ($700) which includes expanded connectivity for the SV. Ride time was brief because the main reason for being in San Diego was to drive the 2014 Versa Note hatchback, but the NV200 showed

no vices even with the hard-riding high-pressure tires.

But through it all, I couldn’t help thinking here is the basis for a next generation Nissan minivan/people mover and a real challenge for the likes of Mazda5, Dodge Journey and Chevrolet Orlando.

Nissan has already committed to supplying New York City with the “Taxi of Tomorrow” yellow cabs based on the NV200.

As for a mini-MPV, a Nissan Canada official told me “we’ve looked at it” but it’s not in the cards at the present time probably because they will have their hands full trying to meet NV200/City Express demand from the production plant in Mexico.

One thing for sure is the emerging demand for

smaller, lighter and more agile commercial vans has Nissan very much on top of this trend with the 2014 NV200 Compact Cargo.

MOTORING ▼ ROAD TEST

B-Class an attractive addition for Mercedes-Benz Neil Moore CONTRIBUTOR

Unlike our American brethren, we Canucks love our hatchbacks. But the B 200 always seemed an odd duck among them.

As the lowest-priced Mercedes-Benz in Canada—just a tick under $30K—it wasn’t a bad vehicle, but was tall and ungainly and just didn’t measure up to the rest of M-B’s lineup.

Fit and finish were good, but this compact front-driver was underpowered (unless you dished out another $2,500 for the B 200 turbo), and didn’t handle particularly well which was no surprise with its tall-box design.

But all that has changed with the new model.

We had to wait a year for it, apparently to get the best of the available engines, and likely to clear out the remainder of the

2011 units, which was the last model year for this vehicle in Canada.

The variant sold here is now the B 250, and at $29,900, it starts at the same price as its predecessor, but with a big jump in power, better driving dynamics and more standard content.

Its increase in number from 200 to 250 doesn’t mean a higher displacement, as the all-new engine is still a two-litre inline four.

But a turbocharger was bolted on, kicking it up to a brawny 208 hp and 258 lb/ft of torque, starting from a low 1,250 rpm.

Compare that with the 2011 B 200’s base 2.0-litre that produced 134 hp and 136 lb/ft of torque, and the turbo model that still only managed 193 and 206.

As you’d expect, the new B 250 enjoys a noticeable boost in acceleration, especially if, like me, you resist the urge to leave

WITH A lower height than its predecessor, the new B-Class now looks more wagon-like, yet sportier, with wider grille, swept-back headlamps with LEDs, and a roofline sloping rearward towards the rising beltline. There’s also significantly more power for 2013.

NEIL MOORE/CONTRIBUTOR

the drive mode selector in its default position.

‘Economy’ mode tames the new powertrain by softening the throttle response and modifying the shift pattern for earlier gear changes but to M-B’s credit, it doesn’t entirely trash the driving experience.

‘Sport,’ on the other hand, delivers more fun after some brief turbo lag. Mash the pedal, and you’ll get a chirp from the front tires and brisk, linear acceleration from the seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission

(DCT).

This DCT is reasonably good, but doesn’t fire off the gear changes like some other German manufacturers like VW, Audi and Porsche.

Still, the zero to 100 km/h sprint will take only 6.8 seconds, which is pretty good for a family hauler, even one called a ‘Sport Tourer.’

But such silliness will keep you from ever seeing the B 250’s rated fuel economy of 6.8 litres/100 km in combined city/hwy driving. My guess is that most drivers will ignore both Sport and Manual modes—along with the paddle shifters—and opt for Economy.

Ditto for the standard-equipped Eco start/ stop function, which, like a golf cart, shuts down the engine while you’re stopped in traffic. All standard functions like radio, lights and air conditioning continue to operate, thanks to a starter that doubles as a generator, but fan speed, for example, automatically slows to conserve energy.

I found the start/stop annoying at first, as it wasn’t as smooth as in

NEIL MOORE/CONTRIBUTOR

A ROOF-MOUNTED spoiler, dual exhaust outlets and optional 18-inch five-twin spoke alloys give the 2013 Mercedes-Benz B 250 a sporty look from the rear.

the C-Class tested recently. There was a noticeable shudder with each restart, but you quickly get used to it. It can also be disabled with a console-mounted switch.

There are few other distractions in a passenger cabin which, for a compact hatch, is surprisingly roomy.

Engineers wisely ditched the space-wasting ‘sandwich’ floor, which was an otherwise clever way to house some of the mechanicals. Now with a lower floor and seats

that have been dropped 8.6 cm, it is easier to get in and out, and your legs now rest at a more comfortable angle—not stretched out in front.

Compact vehicles are not typically known for having much rear legroom, but the B 250, at 976 mm, surpasses both the larger E- and S-Class sedans. And there’s loads of head room front and back.

With all that people-carrying capacity and a stubby footprint, you wouldn’t expect much cargo space, but with all seats in place

not only sits lower, but with its pronounced wheel arches and side skirts— and optional 18-inch fivetwin spoke alloys looks wider and more firmly planted.

I won’t get into the nitty gritty on sheet metal changes, airflow and the like, but will note that this hatchback, wagon or whatever you want to call it, slips through the air with a drag coefficient of 0.26.

The Porsche 911 has a cd of 0.29.

Inside, the base B 250 is well appointed with man-made Artico leather that looks and feels close to the real thing throughout. The layout of instruments and controls is an improvement over 2011, and includes a long list of standard features: single-zone climate control, 10-way/eight-way manual adjust for driver and front passenger seats, manual tilt/telescopic steering with paddle shifters, ambient lighting, logoed aluminum door sills, two-level adjustable cargo floor, and eight-speaker AM/FM/ CD/MP3/WMA audio system with 5.7-inch screen and aux inputs.

And on the outside you get heated power mirrors with integrated turn signals, LED taillights, rain-sensing wipers with heated nozzles, rear wiper and dual exhaust outlets.

Of course, my tester included a pile of extras— like panoramic sunroof, navigation, blind spot and lane keeping assist, heated power seats, bigger wheels and more. But all this stuff drives the price up to $38,500, and you still don’t get pushbutton start.

That’s a minor gripe, and I’ll add another, which is the electronic column shifter that looks and feels like a wiper stalk.

On more than one occasion, I shifted the B 250 into neutral while trying to use the ‘mist’ function to clear a few raindrops from my windscreen. ‘Park’ is where I’d expect to find the washer button, but I thankfully didn’t push it while in motion.

All that aside, and with the improvements in style, power and handling, the B 250 is now a solid competitor and as good a value as any hatchback or wagon in its segment.

And while I’d be hesitant to option the B-Class up to C-Class levels, at around $30K it offers a tempting entry point to the Mercedes-Benz lineup.

Chevrolet is offering the 2014 Silverado High Country as its first entry in the growing premium pickup truck segment.

It is designed to complete with the Ford F-150 King Ranch and Ram Laramie Longhorn.

The High Country sits above the Silverado LTZ and Z71 models as the Chevy’s truck flagship.

Available only in Crew Cab, the High Country has a different grille, body colour front and rear bumpers and halogen projector headlights.

whole package. The High Country is distinguishable on the exterior by the unique grille treatment, halogen projector headlights (previous page) and High Country-specific 20-inch chrome wheels (above).

THE CIVIC COMES IN 1ST ASTHE CANADA’S BEST-SELLING CIVIC COMES IN 1ST CAR FOR 15 YEARS .

AS CANADA’S BEST-SELLING CAR FOR 15 YEARS .

Optional 6.2-litre engine with 420 hp and 450 lb/ft of torque

and 380 lb/ft of torque and a claimed class-leading V8 fuel consumption of 9.0 L/100km (31 mpg) highway for 4WD versions. City mileage is rated at 13.3L/100 km (21 -mpg) for the 4WD model. s Also available will be a 6.2-litre version of the EcoTec3 V8. Both engines feature direct fuel sinjection, Active Fuel Management and continuously variable valve timing.

The 6.2-litre has 420 hp and 450 lb/ft of torque. .At this writing fuel consumption was still being determined. e Active Fuel Management allows both V8s to switch to four-cylinder mode to save fuel during slight-load driving.

In announcing the High Country at a press review of the full line of its 2014 pickups held in Deer Lake, Nfld., Chevy officials said, that besides the 6.2-litre V8, there will be few options due to the long list of standard equipment.

These include a chrome rear bumper with CornerStep, integrated trailer brake controller, sunroof, navigation, and a rear-seat entertainment system as well as a High Country Premium Package which includes heat-

ed steering wheel, driver alert package, adjustable pedals and integrated trailer brake controller.

If you’re looking for driving impressions, there are none. Chevrolet had one model at the 2014 Silverado press launch which no one was allowed to drive probably because is was the only one in the country and Chevy didn’t want anyone to bend it.

But having driven the 5.3-litre Crew Cab in both LT and LT trim levels, the overall impression was one of immense solidity with very little cabin noise intrusion.

Full driving impressions of the 2014 Silverado will appear shortly on these pages.

Pricing? Well, that’s the big question.

GM Canada has not set a price but the Ram Laramie Longhorn starts at $42,595 while at the other end the Ford F-150 King Ranch is $60,466 and the special edition F-150 Platinum Limited is $64,299.

My guess is the starting price will be closer to the King Ranch because the as-tested price of the mid-range Silverado LT 4WD Crew Cab I drove most of the time in Deer Lake was $47,440 not counting the $1,600 shipping fee.

shOwCAsE ▼ HOME SECURITY

Protecting your home with a sense of style DEADBOLT door locks today offer slick design op-

Nothing is more delightful than finding something beautiful to do a functional job.

The all-important locks on exterior doors are a prime example because finding just the right decorative door hardware is also going to keep you safe.

The first step before shopping is to plan out the entire task.

Are you building a new home, moving to another house, or remodeling to improve the curb appeal—and the value?

Outside and inside, this is the time to decide the most appealing combination of deadbolts, handlesets, knobs and levers.

The next step is to tap the guidance of a good online resource.

To readily find the style, colour, finish, security features—and even how they will look in

▼

tions while offering a premium sense of security about home protection.

CONTRIBUTED

various rooms—go to the design centre tab on the website of Schlage, a leading brand in this field.

If upgrading your home security is the top priority, for example, here’s a snapshot on how to do that:

DEADBOLTS

Install deadbolts on every entry door to the house.

Choose models with the biggest, strongest bolt available, like those in the B60 series.

Certified by ANSI, these deadbolts meet the Grade 1 performance standard which includes an increased latch bolt

size for maximum kickin resistance, as well as an anti-pick shield to protect the internal components from tampering.

All models are sleek with contoured edges for added style—and for added beauty, homeowners can select from up to nine, attractive finishes.

GO KEYLESS

Add the latest ultra-modern feature. With the fully loaded touchscreen deadbolt simply entering a code locks and unlocks letting you dispense with keys altogether.

Other features include an anti-pick shield, an au-

to-lock option, a builtin alarm, warning alerts for low batteries—and you can also add capability for video surveillance, lights, heating, cooling and more.

Beauty is served up in two distinct designs (Camelot and Century) both crafted to give a choice in colour and finish.

BUILT-IN ALARM

Now you can get the premium deadbolt with an audible alert.

Take a look at the firstof-its-kind design called the keyed entry lock With built-in alarm.

Once programmed, you will instantly hear when someone goes in or out, tampers with your lock, or tries to force their way in.

This ground-breaking innovation— in several eye-catching designs and finishes—is complete-

ly customizable from low to maximum security, at various sensitivity levels.

And the alarm is right inside the lock offering a budget alternative to those monthly security fees.

BE SMART REMOTELY

Use wireless technology to monitor your home security away from the premises.

This is done by connecting your premium deadbolt to an Internet-based, monthly subscription service.

From a mobile device, you will be able to see your property, lock and unlock doors, pre-schedule the monitoring for specific times every day.

You will in turn receive text alerts when the alarm is triggered.

Additional information is available at the Schlage brand website www.consumer.schlage. com.

OF PRIME INTEREST

Find your way through the mortgage interest rate option minefield In the mortgage broker business world, we read a lot about future changes from the Bank of Canada regarding tightening lending rules, interest rates and our country’s debt load.

It’s the burgeoning debt loads that individual Canadians carry that is the reason behind tighter lending rules.

As for interest rates, our main concern, as mortgage professionals, is to guide our clients through the pros and cons of mortgage interest rates.

One of the major dilemmas that faces firsttime buyers, anyone upgrading to a larger home, facing future mortgage rate renewals or looking to renovate their homes by increasing their mortgage is determining what interest rate is best applicable for a given financial situation.

There are varying types of mortgage interest rates to choose from out there in financial land.

There are variable rates, those with no set interest rate for a specific period of time; closed mortgage rates, guaranteed interest rates for set period of time; open mortgages, with either variable interest rates or fixed rates from six months to one year; and line of credit, open revolving credit up to 65 per cent of the value of your home.

In recent years, the borrower’s preferred choice has tended to be variable rates. However, due to recent rise in interest rate, the spread between variable interest rates (prime plus or minus the financial institution’s prime rate of 3%) and closed fixed rates may be about 60 to 80 basis points.

For example, a variable rate mortgage can be as low as the prime interest rate of 2.60% and a five-year as low as 3.49% (an average rate based on different institutions’ rates). You can also ac-

quire 10 year closed mortgage rates in the 3.99% area but some feel that may be high compared to the variable rate mortgage.

As with investments, we have to rate the risk to reward in choosing a mortgage interest rate.

From what we read and our experience in mortgage lending, interest rates will eventually rise.

So if you are in a closed variable rate or credit line (both on fluctuating interest rates based on financial institutions’ prime rates), you will have to carefully watch that prime rate.

Each individual lending situation carries its own characteristics, so each application a mortgage professional takes has to be viewed with the borrower’s best interests in mind.

For example: •What are your financial risks to interest rate fluctuations?

• What are your plans for the future—could you be inheriting money, planning to move in the near future?

There are many other scenarios that we have not discussed here but, should you have any questions regarding your future renewal, home purchase, renovation, investment or refinancing, please call us and we will gladly sit down with you to discuss your options.

Remember, you do not pay us, the financial institution does plus we do only one credit check which will keep your credit score in line.
