FIRESTORM 2003 lessons learned from the okanagan mountain park fire

t started as a small fire sparked by a lightning strike in the remote area of Okanagan Mountain Park. While the flames were visible a decade ago on Aug. 16, the idea that the fire could be whipped up by the prevailing winds and ultimately destroy 236 homes in Kelowna and force the evacuation of 27,000 Kelowna residents seemed very far removed. But as the blaze reached the city limits five days later, the Okanagan Mountain Park fire had everyone’s attention—a forest fire with the setbacks of hot, unpredictable summer winds and difficult geographic terrain made it difficult to bring under control. In today’s Capital News, we look back at the events surrounding the 2003 fire, what we learned from it and how prepared we are today for a similar emergency response. See stories beginning on A3

FIRESTORM 2003

Impact of the fire still being felt today

Alistair Waters

ASSISTANT EDITOR

he firestorm that engulfed parts of Kelowna in 2003 changed the city—literally and figuratively. While the devastation the flames brought—239 homes burned, 27,000 people evacuated, thousands of hectares of land burned and many of the historic Kettle Valley Rail trestles in Myra Canyon destroyed—took their toll, the lasting impacts of the fire have been more positive. City and Kelowna Fire Department officials say the region is better prepared today to handle a whole range of emergencies as a result of lessons learned from the harrowing experience of 2003, as well as from other subsequent fires that have occurred since, both here and in other areas of the province. “There’s no doubt about it , I think we are better prepared,” said Gerry Zimmermann, the man who led the Kelowna Fire Department during the 2003 firestorm. Retired from the fire department and a Kelowna city councillor today Zimmermann saw firsthand as the fire chief 10 years ago how the city has developed a regional emergency response plan that is the envy of many other communities across B.C. First developed by

FIGHTING the 2003 Okanagan Mountain Park fire on the ground was physically demanding work over long hours that at times put both forest service and city firefighters in danger when high winds fanned the advancing flames.

him and his fire department staff following a fatal a landslide in the Philpot Road area of the city in the late 1980s, the plan has been constantly tweaked and improved in the years since the Okanagan Mountain Park fire. “I think if you were to look at the two plans (the one from 2003 and the one now), they would be quite different,” said Zimmermann.

“There were things back then that we didn’t even think of.” Still, he credits that plan as it was in 2003 in helping Kelowna fight the flames and deal with the challenges of the fire. And the man in charge of the emergency response plan today, assistant fire chief Jason Brolund, agrees with his former boss. A young firefight-

er who found himself trapped in the Kettle Valley area 10 years ago while fighting the Okanagan Mountain Park fire, Brolund is today tasked with making sure the entire Central Okanagan area is prepared for a myriad of potential disasters beyond just fire. “The principles of the plan can be applied to any emergency,” said Broland. That’s one of the rea-

sons, he said,why local emergency responders— from area fire departments, police, emergency social services, municipal agencies and other groups, organizations and facilities—regularly participate in both table top and on-the-ground exercises to make sure the plan they never want to face putting into action will run as smoothly as possible when that becomes necessary. Another veteran of the 2003 firestorm response management team, current Kelowna city manager Ron Mattiussi, said this area now also has experienced people who can draw on those experiences of 2003 to meet the challenges of emergencies today. From the aforementioned emergency services personnel to city bureaucrats who played such a critical role in disseminating information and keeping the lines of communication open to those fighting the flames, the media and the general public, Mattiussi says the city is much better prepared now than it was a decade ago. But Mattiussi is also quick to point out that the best planning and most experienced, well-trained people can also see their efforts nullified by something as simple as a change in wind direction during a major fire.

Mother Nature proved to be unpredictable force

KELOWNA fire chief Jeff Carlisle (left) and assistant chief Jason Brolund, who is the coordinator for the regional emergency plan, with a photo montage of the 2003 Okanagan Mountain Park fire that hangs in the department’s main fire hall on Enterprise Way.

Blaze from A3 In 2003, it was Mother Nature that stopped a city plan to bulldoze homes south of Barnaby Road in a desperate last-ditch effort to create a large firebreak that officials at the time believed was needed to save the city. Faced with that gut-wrenching decision, Zimmermann remembers how the decision to proceed with the plan was made quickly and not one person in the room opposed it, even with the knowledge of what it meant and how controversial it would be. For Mattiussi, it hit home even more so on a personal note. His house was one of hundreds that would have been demolished to create the massive fire break. “I remember Gerry (Zimmermann) saying to me at the time, if we do this, the city will be in court for 20 years,” said Mattiussi looking back at that critical moment in the city’s history. Despite that, Mattiussi, acting city manager at the time, was willing to take that risk to stop further destruction. There was a fear the fire could reach Kelowna

ALISTAIR WATERS/ CAPITAL NEWS

General Hospital. He signed the request asking the province for permission to bulldoze the home, but the plan was never implemented. That was because at that moment, the wind changed direction, the skies opened and rain began to fall. “By the grace of God, luck and Mother Nature, things began to change at that moment,” recalled Zimmermann. ••• Fighting the Okanagan Mountain Park fire was a group effort on a massive scale. It started with a lightning strike near Rattlesnake Island Aug. 16, and exploded into an urban interface wildfire in the southern neighbourhoods of Kelowna six days later after making its way north and east. At its height, the fire was fought by hundreds of firefighters, both local and others sent from fire departments across the province to help, along with forest service fire attack crews, helicopter and water bombers, and even the Canadian Army.

Blaze from A4 It took teamwork that, while evident on the ground, was not always so evident among the officials from the different jurisdictions. A now legendary exchange between the straight-talking Zimmermann and a top official at the B.C. Fire Commissioner’s office in Victoria resulted in Zimmermann being told to get in line or he could be replaced. Zimmermann’s response: “Go ahead and try.” But he said when it came to working with the forestry fire crews on the ground, the relationship was very good, as was disemination of information to the public and relationship with the media, credited now as a key to helping the community deal with the fire. Having seen the total opposite situation caused by the “code of silence” during the devastating fire in Barrier, near Kamloops, just prior to the Okanagan Mountain Park Fire, officials here were determined not to repeat that mistake. Instead, everything local officials knew here was passed to the public through the media as soon as possible. Following the destruction of so many homes in the Kettle Valley and Oakaview areas, the city and fire department immediately held a meeting with residents to let them know whose homes were lost and whose were still standing. Prepared for an onslaught of understandable anger from homeowners who lost their homes, Zimmermann, Mattiussi and other city and firefighting officials who walked into the large church auditorium where the meeting was held just two days after the destruction were shocked by the standing ovation they received. The support they were given by people who knew they were likely going to receive bad news was overwhelming, recalls Zimmermann. “I still get goosebumps just thinking about that moment,” he said. Officials had planned that meeting right down to the seating arrangements—grouping people by street so they would be with others they knew when they got the bad news. Even Zimmermann’s attire was thought out in advance. He felt it would be better to wear his then familiar red coveralls, not his chief’s uniform, so as not to appear authoritar-

FIRESTORM ian and “handing down” news. “We were making that stuff up on the fly,” he said. “We had never had to do anything like that before.” Today, he hopes similar catastrophes would be handled in a similar way—making sure as much information is relayed to the public as soon as possible, viewing the media as a partner to get the message out and not an intruding nuisance, and using technology that has advanced greatly in the 10 years since the fire. According to Mattiussi, the use of mapping was also critical 10 years ago, not only in fighting the fire but also in identifying what was lost and where. Many of the techniques used to fight the 2003 fire have become best practices recommended by the province. It needs to be remembered that despite the huge loss of property and the trying conditions— the fire was described by even veteran forestry firefighters as unprecedented—there was no loss of life. Mattiussi said one of the big lessons learned was the need for more people to be in the emergency operations centre from the start, including local mapping experts. For Brolund and current Kelowna fire chief Jeff Carlisle, the use of mapping is critical. But Brolund also points out that any good emergency plan must also include the ability for responders to deal with the emergency without the technology that exists today because in some situations it may not be available. In 2003, among the first casualties of the fire were cell phone towers. While cell phones were not as widely used then as they are today, they were still important. Without them, the city turned to local ham radio

operators to help keep the lines of communication open. Another critical part of today’s emergency plan is not only how the people affected are dealt with —the 2003 evacuation was the biggest non-wartime civil evacuation in Canadian history to that point—it is also how the recovery is dealt with. Ten years ago, the emergency social services team was headed by Beryl Itani, who has since stepped down from that position but is still a volunteer. Her team, which started small but soon grew to more than 1,000 volunteers, handled an evacuation which at the time was equivalent to about onethird of the city. But what still marvels many is how orderly that evacuation was carried out. “I remember telling the governor-general about how people were driving out of the Mission and letting cars pull in to line in front of them and the governor-general responding, ‘How Canadian,’” recalled Mattiussi. Mattiussi credits the work of the RCMP in coordinating that evacuation, helping to maintain the overall sense of calm, despite the fact some people were, at the time, leaving homes they would never see again. ••• Lessons were learned from the 2003 fire as well as several major fires that have occurred in this area in subsequent years, such as the 2009 Glenrosa blaze in West Kelowna. Looking to the future, one of the areas the city wants to focus on in the event of a future emergency is the protection of infrastructure. Spearheaded by Coun. Robert Hobson, who says the city needs to look at how it would provide services such as drinking water, electricity, roads and sewers in the event

The Alberta city was crippled when floodwaters engulfed much of the downtown area.

2003 FIRESTORM ▼ WEST KELOWNA

Transporation issues still exist four years after Glenrosa fire Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Mayor Doug Findlater was at his West Kelowna cabin July 18, 2009—the day the Glenrosa fire was first reported. “I had a sense of foreboding,” said Findlater. “There was a 70 km/h warm wind coming from the south. I thought: This is weird, this is freaky.” It wasn’t long after that district staff called the mayor to alert him of the fire and request that he declare a local state of emergency. Findlater rounded up council members who were in town and available for an impromptu meeting to ratify the state of emergency. Findlater’s Glenrosa home was immediately put under evacuation order and eventually his

cabin was ordered to be evacuated as well. He and his wife, Willie, reserved a room at a local hotel, checked in with the Emergency Social Services evacuation centre and prepared for a busy week, which would include countless phone calls from national media outlets. In an in-depth article written for Firefighting in Canada magazine, Kelowna deputy fire chief Lou Wilde spoke with West Kelowna fire chief Wayne Schnitzler to recount the 2009 Glenrosa wildfire. The blaze was first reported at 2:40 p.m. and began on the fringe of Glenrosa, about a kilometre from Gorman Bros. Lumber Ltd., with 70 km/h winds, a temperature of 37 C and 13 per cent humidity.

Schnitzler told Wilde managing an interface fire the size of the Glenrosa blaze was like directing several commercial fires at once. “You rely on your experience from past fires and your decision-making abilities,” Schnitzler stated. “You need to assess the situation, evacuate the public and determine where to allocate your limited resources, assign people to tasks and put them to work, then begin to evaluate progress and plan for what’s next.” To make the situation increasingly difficult, that evening a report came in of a second wildfire on the west shore of Rose Valley reservoir. “In all, 17,000 residents of West Kelowna were ordered out of their homes on July 18,

many for an entire week before unified command allowed them to return,” Wilde wrote. The Glenrosa fire managed to cross Highway 97 to the east; therefore, the highway was closed. Residents evacuated by using Lower Glenrosa Road, which runs parallel to Highway 97. Glenrosa resident John Huby was one of the many evacuees. Huby said he is concerned that, had the fire blocked Lower Glenrosa Road as well, there wouldn’t have been an adequate escape route. Findlater noted the district began a program after 2009 that ensures signage is placed every summer directing drivers to a forest service road north of Glenrosa Road in case of an emergency. “It’s a gravel road; the maintenance is sporadic,” said Findlater. “It’s not what I would call optimum. I’d be concerned with hundreds of vehicles trying to use that. But it’s there. It’s something.” Huby argued the forest service road would be of little help if it was the only escape option. “The primitive route is not considered to be a sufficiently effective practical

common refrain when the Glenrosa Fire put homes at risk in the West Kelowna neighbourhood and forced people to evacuate their homes, six years after the Okanagan Mountain Park fire. alternative for the general public,” said Huby. Huby said he is also concerned the district has approved subdivision developments since 2009 before sorting out the emergency exit issue. Work is currently being done on a District of West Kelowna Transportation Master Plan and Findlater said a second effective evacuation route is being considered within the plan. “I’m told that they’ve identified some potential routes that would probably breach Powers Creek and go over to the Smith Creek area…it may tie into a longer term issue of a Westside bypass; although, I think that’s years away,” said Findlater. Findlater said he has been given ballpark estimates in the past in

the range of $25 million to create a route with a bridge over Powers Creek. “It’s a costly item and we’ll have to look at the ways we can make that work with other options. “Every time there is development in Glenrosa, people are concerned. On the other hand, there is revenue created through tax base and development

cost charges that can go toward creating that access.” A report on the district’s Transportation Master Plan, with options for a second route, is expected to be brought to council in the coming months. wpaterson@kelownacapnews. com Twitter: @PatersonWade

A Business Improvement Area allows property owners in an area to pool their efforts and funds for marketing, planning and management activities that can improve the business area. The term “BIA” refers both to the organization (in this case, the DKA) that administrates the activities of the BIA and to the geographic area within which property owners and businesses participate in the BIA. It is the intention of the DKA to conduct a five-year business promotion scheme for the benefit of the BIA during the 2014 to 2018 period. Annual costs The annual cost of the BIA will not exceed $887, 407.00 and is to be paid for by the benefiting property owners and is recovered on the basis of a rate per $1,000 of assessed actual value of both land and improvements which fall within Class 5 or 6 of the Assessments - Class Percentage Levels Regulation, B.C. Reg. 438/81. Federal, provincial and municipal owned property used for government purposes is excluded. The rate shall be calculated in the same manner as the annual general municipal rate and is levied annually during the five year term on the property tax notice. There is no provision to cash commute (prepay) the annual charges of this Kelowna Downtown Business Improvement Area. petitions against Affected property owners may petition, pursuant to the rules set out in the Community Charter of British Columbia, against the proposed establishment of the Kelowna Downtown BIA as follows: 1.

nesday afternoon the Kamloops Fire Centre issued a release urging the public to comply with the current campfire ban, which went into effect Aug. 1. Over the past two weekends, conservation officers have issued seven violation tickets and 11 warnings to people

not abiding by the rules, which include the prohibition of fireworks and burning barrels. And despite countless warnings of the extreme fire threat, it’s not uncommon to see drivers flicking cigarette butts out of their vehicle windows.

2003 FIRESTORM prevention from A8 Those who violate the current campfire ban could be issued a $345 ticket for all people in attendance of the campfire. A $230 fine could be dished out to any people participating in lighting fireworks. Reckless fire use could result in a fine of up to $100,000 and/or one year in prison; anyone who is found to actually cause a wildfire could be fined up to $1 million and face up to three years in prison Pepper said several efforts are being made to bring awareness to the public. “We team up with local governments to help get that information out,” said Pepper, adding they’ve utilized social media tools to help spread the message. “We also have fire wardens who will go around and do patrols

through each of the fire zones. They’ll have different patrol routes and they’ll go and talk to campers about being safe in the backcountry.” But despite the awareness campaigns every year, statistics indicate some people may not be getting the message. “That’s unfortunately still the case. “We do think people have the best of intentions. If you have your dirt bike in the backcountry, maybe you don’t know there’s a spark going off the back…every situation is different and complex.” As of Thursday afternoon, Kamloops Fire Centre was dealing with 134 active fires. “Our fire crews are very busy responding to those fires—some of them are in very remote areas. “When we start diverting resources to respond to (human-caused) inci-

COG attendees criticized for their behaviour

To the editor: I wanted to comment on the offsite behaviour of some Center of Gravity attendees. I live adjacent to a small City park (Millbridge) and the Okanagan Hospice, and was very disheartened and disappointed to see young adults illegally camped out along this portion of Mill Creek during the recent long-weekend event—despite being kicked out by Commissionaires when the gates at either end of the creek-side walkway behind and beside the Hospice were locked at night or unlocked in the morning. They simply jumped the fence after the gates were closed and chained, so there was no way to keep them out overnight. One long-time resident encountered a group late on the Friday evening that was trespassing through our complex and into the park with the intention of setting up tents for the night. They had hopped our fence to open the locked gate, then rigged it to stay open to

Another round of liquor reforms served up in B.C.

he B.C. Liberal government is ordering up another round of liquor regulation changes, looking for ways to make life easier for businesses and customers without aggravating the health and social problems associated with alcohol. Discussions with B.C.’s10,000 liquor licence holders have identified a few problems that should be fixed. Going into a consultation phase that runs to October, the government is looking for answers to a few obvious questions, such as why it takes a pub or bar up to a year to get a licence. Another question: why can a family with under-aged children go

into a licensed restaurant for lunch, but cann’t go to a pub and place the exact same food and drink order? This should be allowed, perhaps until Tom the traditional 5 p.m. Fletcher ‚“happy hour” when the pub reverts to adults only. A couple of suggestions have come out of the healthy growth of B.C. wine, craft beer and distillery operations. Look for new licence opportunities for farmers’ markets to sell local beverages along with the produce and preserves. Letters inviting suggestions from existing licence holders have gone out, and Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap will be meeting this fall with

VICTORIA VIEWS

industry groups, local governments, police, health and social policy organizations and First Nations in the fall. A website will be put up in September so members of the public can have their say. Here’s my suggestion to start things off. Recent incidents involving socalled “party buses” shone a light on this growing industry. The sudden death of a 16-year-old on a party bus outing in Surrey in February turned out not to be alcohol-related, but to no one’s surprise, open liquor was found aboard the bus. Open liquor isn’t allowed in any vehicle, but perhaps a new kind of special event licence could be created for party buses. They have been viewed mainly as part of the solution to impaired driving, and the situation

isn’t much different from a supervised event on a boat. Here’s another suggestion. Gourmet cooking classes are becoming popular, with customers preparing and then enjoying their meals. Why not licence these establishments, at F least so people can bring their own wine for dinner? Both the B.C. Liberals and NDP have advocated easing the archaic rules on inter-provincial trade in wine. B.C. lifted its restrictions on mail-order wine and has urged other provinces to follow suit. There are a couple of reasons why this Prohibition-era structure persists. Liquor sales are a cash cow for provincial governments, and every case of wine brought in from elsewhere is lost

City Park wrong place for tourism office To the editor: Re: City Park Tearing up precious, historical City Park land for a huge tourist information centre is dumb, disrespectful, dishonourable planning. Why wipe out the historic Veendam rose gardens for the proposed 16,000-square-foot building? The rose gardens are a tribute to our sister city in Veendam, Holland, where Canadian soldiers died in liberating Holland. Like the poppies of Flanders Fields, the Veendam roses add to the reverence, solemnity and spirit of the cenotaph in

remembering the brave men who died for Canada. How can any patriotic Canadian support encroaching on and dishonouring this sacred area with noisy “yahoo” tourists going to and from the tourist centre? The tourist centre has nothing to do with enhancing the sacred cenotaph area or the beauty of the park, but everything to do with enhancing the unworthy chamber of commerce establishment. It is disgusting how the disrespectful, unpatriotic planners, managers and council want to destroy the historical location of the Veendam gar-

dens and desecrate, despoil the cenotaph area, for crass profits. It never fails, wherever the public has iconic historical and natural beautiful treasures like City Park, Veendam gardens, the waterfront, sandy beaches, and views

etc, the city council, planners and upper management sacrifice and exploit these public treasures to make the chamber establishment rich. Since the chamber grabs the tourist loot, why are taxpayers paying for the tourist centre? Isn’t it time the rich chamber members got off public welfare and paid for the tourist centre and for its operation? Having the tourist centre with a big parking lot in City Park is stupid. The movement of big motor homes, RVs, tourist buses would congest and cause gridlock. Gridlock would drive

people away from the park and downtown. There are better locations for a tourist information centre. For eastbound highway traffic entering Kelowna, why not where the chamber of commerce building is, or on the Central Green property? For westbound traffic, why not by Sexsmith Road or the university? Since the RCMP will be moving to a new location on Clement Avenue, why not use the existing RCMP building on Doyle Avenue when it becomes vacant? Robert Cichocki Kelowna

Government can turn CBC into ‘propaganda outlet’ To the editor: Re: Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas column, Capital News Aug. 15, CBC Not Target Of Government Interference Contrary to Dan Albas’ article, Bill C-60 gives the Conservative government all the tools it needs to turn CBC from

an independent public broadcaster into a government propaganda outlet. Hidden on page 107 of the Omnibus Budget Bill, and uncovered only by an alert journalist, is a clause that allows the government to dictate CBC’s negotiating strategy for all its labour relations. This gives the gov-

ernment control over working conditions of all CBC’s journalists, a move denounced by such renowned experts as Donna Logan, professor emeritus of UBC’s graduate school of journalism, Patrick Brown, Joe Schlesinger and Hugh Winsor. When Flora Macdonald introduced the cur-

rent Broadcasting Act in Parliament 25 years ago, she insisted that the CBC not be subject to political interference in order to preserve its editorial independence, in the interest of Canadian democracy. A legal opinion from renowned media lawyer Brian MacLeod Rog-

ers states that the government’ss Bill C-60 contravenes sections 35 and 52 of the Broadcasting Act. Now that Bill C-60 is the law of the land, Canadians should be very concerned. Ian Morrison spokesperson, Friends of Canadian Broadcasting

allow others to take the same shortcut. The campers left a big mess along the creek bank and tossed garbage into the creek where kokanee salmon thrive. They used the edge of the pathways where we

walk our dogs—and are fined if we do not pick up after them—as open-air bathrooms. Not a pretty sight or pleasant smell for the many young families and seniors who enjoy this little piece of wilderness in the heart of the city. A big concern was

that a carelessly discarded cigarette or joint could easily have ignited the surrounding dry grass and put hundreds of lives in the four large nearby multi-family complexes at risk, not to mention the patients who are quietly living their last days at the hospice close by.

Holding such a large event on an already busy long weekend when available accommodation is limited and cost prohibitive for many of the young people it draws to Kelowna only encourages this kind of behaviour, especially when camping opportunities within close

proximity to the city are few and far between. It is easier to walk a relatively short distance from downtown and pitch your tent for free without regard for bylaws, residents or the environment. Jan Bauman, Kelowna

Fletcher from A10 profit for the provincial wholesale monopoly. Then there is the local industry lobby that would rather not add to its competition. Premier Christy Clark pressed this point at the recent premiers’ meeting in Ontario wine country, bringing in the maximum amount of B.C. wine allowed under Ontario rules and urging free trade in

Canadian wine. The Toronto media drank it up, aghast that they were barred from ordering the latest Naramata Bench tipples directly. No movement so far from the Ontario government, in a province that has done well developing its own wine industry.

A Kelowna firm, Emil Anderson Construction Inc., has been awarded a $4.8-million contract to expand RapidBus BC to service West Kelowna and Westbank First Nation. RapidBus BC pro-

vides passengers with faster, more frequent bus transportation. Since the service began in 2010, ridership has grown almost 10 per cent between downtown Kelowna and the Univer-

sity of British Columbia-Okanagan. “Improved transit service gets people home to their families faster, and allows more people to commute to work or school,” said B.C. Premier

Christy Clark, the MLA for Westside-Kelowna. “RapidBus will provide a sustainable and efficient transportation network, save time, and encourage more people to take the bus.”

The expansion includes building four transit stations and two transit exchanges, which will connect to the existing RapidBus service between downtown Kelowna and UBCO.

Corolla S with moonroof shown

Construction will start in September and is expected to finish in July 2014. Service is expected to begin in summer 2014. “RapidBus will improve transit linkages and service for our region,” said Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray. “I am really happy to see that construction of the Gordon and Richter Stations along Highway 97 in Kelowna will commence later this year.” “The District of West Kelowna is pleased to see that construction will soon begin on two new exchanges in our community,” added West Ke-

lowna Mayor Doug Findlater. “We envision the exchange on Elliott Road will complement our efforts for Westbank Centre revitalization, and the Boucherie Exchange will service an important recreation and municipal hub as well as the students of Mt. Boucherie school.” “Connecting the RapidBus from UBCO through the City of Kelowna to the Westside and through WFN lands will be a great benefit to our communities, members and residents,” said WFN Chief Robert Louie.

ENTERTAINMENT Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Stunning. Challenging. Fascinating. For those who lost a home to the Okanagan Wildfires, Lake Country Art Gallery’s latest exhibit, From the Soot and Ashes, may be difficult to stomach; but if one can set aside emotion, or revel in it momentarily, the show offers breathtaking reflections. Pulling together work from two different artists, curator Katie Brennan tackles the undeniable truth in catastrophe: the most destructive elements in nature leave humbling scenes of horror and beauty capable of unearthing our voyeuristic, inquisitive and appreciative inner being with an earth-shattering force. As photographer Zev Tiefenbach discovers, this often reveals ugly truths. “I think that there’s a frontier quality to the Kelowna population,” he said. “The calamity of the fire was just another opportunity to develop a previously undevelopable chunk of land.” Tiefenbach shoots neighbourhoods he finds interesting. He was in the Ninth Ward of New Orleans shooting the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina (one day before Hur-

Artistic reflections of devastating fire

ricane Rita hit) and but has also shot more banal places like Grand Falls, Perborough and Trenton, Ontario. Sometimes the subject is obvious, like the impact of a wildfire; sometimes it’s a tangible beauty his art flushes out of a town or hamlet. In Kelowna, his lens sought out a neighbourhood rich in the juxtaposition of natural and human forces, which may oppose one another, but ultimately conquer the land they touch, different means to a similar end. “Kelowna is pure suburbanization,” said Tiefenbach. “People don’t just look at the hillside. They look at a lot. It’s like there’s the hill, but it’s seen as there’s the lot. It has to be owned. “This is a society that sees development as a divine right, just as the fire was a divine force with divine consequences,” he said. Initially, Tiefenbach was attracted to the beautiful burnt skeletons of trees along the rolling bare topography of the Upper Mission, recuperating from the 2003 firestorm. Upon developing his film, however, he started to see the area in a different light. “It’s the big elements that are at play,” he says. “The big sky, the epic

trees reinforce how, sociologically, development is an intrinsic value of the population.” Plunking big houses across the vast hillside, burned trees or not, lays bare a core addiction to occupying and consum-

ing land less obvious before the fire. The Wildfire Begat Suburbia, as the collection is called, contains 65 images. Those selected by Brennan and Tiefenbach for this show feature an

omnipresent skyline more dominant than the burnt landscape it’s focused around. With typical Okanagan mega-homes— large, boxy sand-coloured houses—and the odd wildflower, the photo-

graphs showcase highly realistic representation of the Kettle Valley neighbourhood he’s discussing. The finished product has been set in lightboxes intended to accentuate the photograph as art, quite unique from the thousands of Instagram pics and Facebook photos streaming through our collective conscious each day. It also plays up the divine undercurrent in the image, giving the big sky a God-like feel, with much the same effect as a stained glass window in a church. “Kelowna sees development as sort of a natural consequence of land use,” Tiefenbach concluded. Painter Suze Woolf, the other artist in the show, comes at the landscape from the opposite point of view. Setting aside the people on the land, she gets down to the nitty gritty, looking at burnt trees scientifically. “I find things that are both beautiful and disturbing at the same time very powerful,” said Woolf. Like Tiefenbach, she sees a destructive hand

in wildfires, saying human intervention and mismanagement, combined with our impact on the earth’s climate, are pushing these events to the forefront. Woolf has done artist in residence stays focusing on burned over trees and landscapes in places like Zion National Park, North Cascades National Park and Banff. Examining burned topography initially, she’s moved to the finite, even finding herself a forestry professor who can break down and explain the burned trunks and bark at the molecular level. “There’s tremendous variation in the kind of natural sculpture that results from a fire,” she said, adding the structure of the charred bark under a microscope is shocking. “It could be bridge girders it’s so uniform, and yet, the surface level looks so random.” (Woolf has another collection focused on industrial scenes it’s worth noting). She has learned there is a carbon database of burned trees and says

fluence what kind of remains there are,” she said. “And yet, there’s commonality.” Woolf will throw herself further into research mode as she continues to break down the elements of wildfires. Listening to her talk, there’s a fever for

knowledge that reminds one of how a fire chews through its surroundings. The voices of these two outsiders, Tiefenbach from Enderby and Woolf from Seattle, offer a unique critique worth considering as neighbours and news organiza-

This year’s event—scheduled for

ed.

Attendees may also chose to have tea and goodies while browsing to find that perfect heirloom piece. This year’s event will enable everyone to participate in the day long sale which runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The tours will be offered between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., with tea being served at 2 p.m. At the present time, COHA is accepting very gently used, clean heirloom pieces of linen, crystal, silver and china.

CELEBRATE GIVING! In BC 80% of us give annual, average cash contributions of $543. The range begins with household incomes under $20,000 where 61% give an average of $252 yearly. The top 10% of donors give 63% of all donations with a minimum annual gift of $995. Here is a checklist of things to think about when selecting organizations. · How is it registered with Canada Revenue Agency? Only charities can give income tax receipts. · Is it financially stable? Will it continue to ‘stay in business’? Look at their annual reports. · Is it effective? Ask what your money is buying. What difference is being made in the community? · Is the mission being achieved? That is far more important than focusing on low overhead. · Do you like what you see? Make a site visit. Talk to staff, volunteers and participants if possible. There are several approaches you can take when deciding about organizations. You might decide to give a lump sum or monthly contributions through the United Way. They support a variety of charities throughout the Central Okanagan. The Central Okanagan Foundation is a charity for all charities. You can ask about options that match your financial resources over the long term. If you want to look for yourself and find not-forprofit organizations worthy of your donation, you can conduct your own search at www.kcr.ca, ‘Community Information Search Central Okanagan’.

Kelowna’s Watts-Watling golden at national championships Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

After sitting out much of the summer with a shoulder injury, Keely Watts-Watling authored a triumphant conclusion to her track and field season last weekend in Langley. The 17-year-old multiskilled athlete from Kelowna put it all together in the youth heptathlon (seven events) to claim the gold medal at the Canadian Legion track and field championships. The Grade 12 KSS student won the overall title with a final score of 4,786 points, just 64 points ahead of Langley’s Robyn Buckingham. A member of the Okanagan Athletics Club, Watts-Watling was in second spot after five of the seven events, but pulled into the lead after recording a personal best in the javelin. She then secured gold with a fourthplace showing in the final event, the 800 metres. Ironically, it was while throwing the javelin back in May at a high school meet in Kelowna that Watts-Watling initially injured her shoulder, limiting her ability to both train and compete for the better part of a month.

It was her first national championship gold medal. “It was a good weekend for me, really nice to get the gold medal,” said Watts-Watling. “It felt great to get the PB in javelin after I’d been struggling with it so much this season. I came through when I needed to.” Earlier this season, with her shoulder still on the mend, Watts-Watling failed to qualify for the world youth championship this summer in Ukraine. As she moves into the junior ranks next year, Watts-Watling will set her sights on trying to make the grade for the world junior championships in July 2014 in Eugene, Ore. As for longer-term goals in track and field, Watts-Watling is in the process of weighing her post-secondary options for the fall of 2014. “If it works out, I’d prefer to go to a Canadian university with a strong track program,” she said, “But if I go to the States, Oregon would be my first choice.” Meanwhile, WattsWatling’s OAC teammate Sean Bergman made it to the podium at the legion

nationals in Langley winning silver in the youth men’s steeplechase.

MEDAL FOR TURNER

Rostam Turner looks to be in fine form heading into his first season of CIS competition in the men’s decathlon. The KSS grad won a pair of national bronze medals this summer, including one last weekend at the Canada Summer Games in Sherbrooke, Que.

Rostam Turner Turner, 18, set personal bests in the javelin and 400 metres en route to placing third overall in the 10-event competition with 6,261 points. Turner, a junior-aged competitor, was forced to adjust to senior level requirements in three events—the discus and shot put were both heavi-

er than in junior, while the 110-metre hurdles were three inches higher (42 to 39). “It went really well for me,” Turner said of his Canada Games performance. “Being a junior and competing in a senior meet was tough, but I held my own. I had a good two weeks to prepare for it and I felt ready to go.” Earlier this summer in Ste. Therese, Que., Turner won bronze in decathlon at the Canadian junior track and field championships. He also captured gold in June at the B.C. high school championships. The Canada Summer Games medal was bittersweet for Turner who watched his older brother, James, withdraw from the event due to an injury suffered during the high jump. If not for the unfortunate turn of events, Rostam said James, 20, would likely have won gold. “I was really disappointed for him,” said Rostam. “He looked like he was going to clean up, then that happened. I didn’t want to see that.” James Turner won the bronze medal at senior nationals earlier this summer

Okanagan Sun focus on upcoming game, not forfeited win Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

While the Okanagan Sun awaits a verdict on its appeal with the B.C. Football Conference, head coach Shane Beatty assures his focus is aimed elsewhere this weekend—firmly on the football field. Whether the Sun’s re-

cord is 3-0 or 2-1, the firstyear bench boss has done little to change his club’s preparation for Saturday night’s game in Kamloops (0-2-1) against the Broncos. “We discussed the situation once with the players and now we’ve moved on,” said Beatty. “It hasn’t been an issue at all, we’ve been fo-

cusing on our next game, the guys had probably their best practise of the year this week, and we’re just thinking football right now.” The Sun’s 2013 season hit a snag this week when the BCFC overturned the Sun’s win over the Chilliwack Huskers on July 27 due to an ineligible player on the club’s

roster. Sun defensive back Curtis Kelly was reportedly not granted his release by the Hamilton Hurricanes this summer and was technically still a member of the Ontario Football Conference team. Canadian Junior Football League rules prohibit the use of such a

player, thus the Sun were forced to forfeit their season-opening 65-10 victory over Chilliwack at the Apple Bowl. The Sun filed an appeal with the BCFC on Wednesday and will await the decision of a soon-tobe-appointed arbitrator. “We disagree with the decision and have appealed it,” said Sun GM

Jay Christensen. As for the readjusted BCFC standings, the Sun now sits in third at 2-1, one point back of the Huskers and two behind the first-place Langley Rams. The Sun’s next home action is Saturday, Aug. 24 against the Rams. In other Sun news, West Kelowna product

and Mt. Boucherie grad Curtis Urlacher joined the BCFC club for practise this week. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound linebacker had planned to play in the CIS this season but opted not to follow through with an offer to attend Concordia University in Montreal this fall. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Triathlete competing for a cause Kevin Parnell

STAFF REPORTER

When the Apple Triathlon takes over Kelowna this weekend, one competitor will be running to not only try and win his class, but also to raise awareness for a crippling disease he has been battling for more than a decade. Helgi Olafson suffers from a form or arthritis known as Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) a potentially crippling disease where bones fuse together if left untreated. Many who suffer from AS are left to struggle with chronic pain, mobility issues and the ability to live a normal life. But Olafson is bringing a message of exercise as treatment to the area as he continues a North American tour to raise awareness while at the same time fighting to maintain a regular life. “I’ve been racing since March of last year, just going to different cities, racing, raising awareness and connecting with people who have AS and arthritis and get it so it’s not something that people

suffer with in silence,” said Olafson from Lake Country, where he is staying with family. “I’m just trying to be someone who is carrying the torch to help people realize that there is no magic pill to take. It’s really a whole life-changing thing if you want to be serious about it.” Olafson, 30, was diagnosed with AS when he was 19 and over the years has learned to listen to his body and use it to help fight the autoimmune disease. A healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition goes a long way, further than prescription meds, he said. “It’s about training and keeping stress levels down, eating healthy, getting the proper amount of rest, not slouching and concentrating on posture,” he said. “But exercise and stretching are probably the two biggest things. Prescription drug companies do a lot to help people but it’s not the answer. I feel that’s making the general public kind of lazy and overweight. Not just people with AS but it’s being healthy in gen-

eral that is going to make life better, even for people who don’t have ailments like this.” Olafson began competing in triathlons as a way to prove to himself that he could still be physical even while suffering from AS. He started a non-profit foundation, trying to raise money as well as awareness. This weekend will be his first race in Kelowna

and with a lot of family in the Okanagan, the Hawaii native is looking forward to the event as he competes with the age groupers in the 30- to 34-yearold class. “I’m very excited to compete in this race,” he said.

“I feel like my fitness levels are the best ever. I’m hoping to hit the podium in my age group. But I’m also excited to have a meeting that is open to the public at the Kelowna Arthritis Society.” That meeting will take place Monday from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Arthritis Society office on Kirschner Road in Keowna. In the meantime, Olafson will be lining up with hundreds of others to compete in the Kelowna Apple on Sunday. Family and friends of Olafson will be around the course, wearing his shirts and spreading his message. “I feel that arthritis and AS needs more recognition,” he said. “It can affect anyone young or old. It’s a lifechanging thing and I really want to change the face of arthritis. It’s a lot more complex than people think it is. It’s not just an old person’s disease.” You can find out more about Helgi Olafson and make donations to support his cause on his web sit at www.helgiolafson.org. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Top draft picks of Canucks and other NHL teams to play

Emanuel Sequeira

CONTRIBUTOR

Hunter Shinkaruk will have a different view of the Vancouver Canucks Young Stars Classic held Sept. 5 to 9 at Penticton’s South Okanagan Events Centre. During its first two years, the Calgary resident watched what was initially called the Canucks Young Stars Tournament on television. This year, he will be on the ice as a prospect of the Vancouver Canucks. The Medicine Hat Tigers forward was the Canucks second pick, 24th overall, in the first round of the 2013 NHL draft. He would love nothing more than to join the likes of Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, Cam Fowler, Mikael Backlund and the Canucks’ Chris Tanev,

who starred in the tournament and moved on to the NHL. Since the tournaments inception in 2010, 30 players have advanced to the NHL. “I want to show the Canucks organization that I can be a really high-level player at that tournament heading into camp,” said Shinkaruk. “It’s an opportunity to show them that they drafted the right kid.” Shinkaruk, who scored 100 goals and added 119 assists in 193 Western Hockey League games, is taking an approach of showing the Canucks he can earn a roster spot. He wants to be the best player on the ice every shift. The Tigers captain said he’s looking forward to putting on the Canucks jersey for the first time.

Shinkaruk will be joined by fellow Canucks 2013 draft picks, Bo Horvat, who was chosen ninth overall in the first round, Cole Cassels, 85th overall, Jordan Subban, 115th overall and Miles Liberati, chosen 205th overall. Dave Gagner, director of player development for the Canucks, said what scouts like about the event is that it gives them a chance to see the players in a competitive nature. “It’s easier to see their skillset when they are in that type of an environment,” said Gagner. “You get to see the hockey sense and the compete level. It’s a good first opportunity for a lot of these guys to make an impression.” Gagner added the Canucks Young Stars Classic provides exposure for the players, especially if some teams don’t

Notice is hereby given that the Regional Board of the Regional District of Central Okanagan will hold a Public Hearing to hear representations of interested person or persons who deem their interest in property affected by the below-mentioned amendments to “Regional District of Central Okanagan Ellison Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1124, 2006” and “Regional District of Central Okanagan Zoning Bylaw No. 871, 2000”.

have spots for them. There might be another that does. “Matt Fraser comes to mind,” said Gagner. “We weren’t able to sign him a couple years ago and Dallas went ahead and signed him because of what he showed at that tournament.” Competition gets pretty intense in that environment and teams see the character the players have. “I think in a competitive nature, some guys that maybe don’t excel in skill drills or whatever in practice, can really show what they are made of in games,” he said. Gagner said the Canucks Young Stars Classic will be entertaining because fans will get exposure to high draft picks. The players are competing for jobs. He always finds it interesting to see if players can find another level when they are challenged. “I can remember (Ryan) Nugent-Hopkins going two years ago,” said Gagner. “You could see right away the special skill that he had. He was drafted first overall, but when they get in that first pro environment it’s really neat to see those kids adjust so

IT’S A GOOD FIRST OPPORTUNITY FOR A LOT OF THESE GUYS TO MAKE AN IMPRESSION. Dave Gagner

Gagner is excited to see Horvat and Shinkaruk. He is curious to see how close they are to playing for the Canucks. For some players, they come out and adjust right away. “Bo Horvat has a really mature game already for an 18-year-old,” said Gagner, who played 33 games for the Canucks in 1999, and 946 during a 15-year career. “He understands how to play in all three zones very well. Coaches really like guys like that. They are reliable and you are not afraid to put them on the ice in any situation,” said Gagner. “He takes pride in his

faceoffs, he’s always on the defensive side of the puck. He takes pride in blocking shots. He also has offensive ability too. When a guy has those qualities, I think it’s going to be exciting to see him. There is an outside chance he is going to make the team.” With Shinkaruk, Gagner said the five-foot-11, 175 pound left winger is deceptively strong. Shinkaruk is known for playing a heavier game and competes hard. “His skill is very evident. He has good pop in his stride,” said Gagner. “Hunter stands out because of his involvement. He has the puck quite often when he’s out there.” Other prospects confirmed to play include: Calgary Flames 2013 draft picks Seaon Monaham, sixth overall, Emile Poirier, 22nd overall, Morgan Klimchuk, 28th, as well as Keegan Kanzig, 67th. From the Edmonton Oilers are Darnell Nurse, Marc-Olivier Roy 56th, Jackson Houck, 94th, Kyle Platzer 96th and Ben Betker 158th. San Jose Sharks’ Mirco Mueller will be joined by fellow 2013 pick Gabryel Boudreau, 49th overall. From the Winnipeg

Lee, 18, won the MJT Ford Series Junior Boys 17-19 title and an exemption into the Future Collegiate World Tour’s ASU Karsten event in Arizona. “My personal highlight for this tournament was to make a 15 foot birdie putt on 16,” Lee commented. “I tried to block out the nerves. This was a very close battle and it is quite a relief to come out on top.” The birdie would be the margin of victory for Lee who was one shot better than his closest competitor. Kelowna’s Madison Kapchinsky, 18, shot 7876 to finish second in her category at the event. ••• Kelowna’s Samantha Richdale will try to move up the Symetra Tour’s money list this weekend at the Eagle Classic in Richmond, Virginia. Richdale, 29, is in 19th spot in overall season earnings with $19,916.

Richdale is coming off one of her best performances of the summer last weekend at the IOA Golf Classic in Florida. Richdale’s three day score of one-under par 213 (72-70-71) was good for a tie for fourth place and was worth $4,294 in prize money.

Meteor shower lit up the sky T he term “camping under the stars” now inspires a much bigger meaning in my life following last weekend’s amazing display by Mother Nature. My dear friend Curtis and I share an annual tradition of escaping for the busy world for a night or two during the summer on a fishing trip. Neither of us professes to actually being either skilled or fanatical fishermen; however, both of us share a ginormous admiration and addiction to canoeing. The idea of simply spending quiet time floating about on a lake is the main draw behind disappearing from the crazy life for the fishing trip. Fish are not the focus —just the unnecessary justification. For the past three years or so, despite our efforts with rod and reel, neither of us has had any success landing a lunker into our separate canoe. The adventures, though, have been totally marvellous, relaxing, and inspiring—not to mention a great reminder of the

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge value of friendship. Last Sunday afternoon, Curtis and I packed up the canoes, camping gear, rods and other necessary fishing/camping amenities (steak, beer, etc.) and ventured our way up to Island Lake above Winfield. Island Lake is part of the famous and popular Dee Lake chain of lakes. To the locals, it is a well known tuck-away spot ranked highly for its escape ability factor. We were fortunate to find a wonderful spot at the forestry campsite for tents and campers at Island Lake and made it our base for the next two evenings. As luck would have it, Sunday was surmised by totally unpredictable and ever changing weather—with rain showers and thunderstorms, mixed

Weather Sensing Irrigation Systems Imagine an irrigation system that adjusted

itself to the weather conditions for your area automatically. It would be great to no longer have to run back and forth to your irrigation controller to turn the watering time up or down dependent on the weather, or off in the instance of rain. You could stop worrying about whether or not you had to change it back or turn it back on if the controller could adjust all the settings without constant intervention. Good news, anybody can transform an automatic irrigation system into a high-efficiency water resource-management center with the addition of a climate sensing component addition. There are many models on the market to turn select irrigation controllers into a weather smart controller. The weather sensing component monitors current air temperature, solar radiation and precipitation. This data is transmitted at regular intervals throughout the day to the receiver module which is linked directly to your controller. Each day, the climate sensing component calculates and adjusts the programmed station run time duration to the amount required for the next watering cycle. If you have any questions about climate sensing components or any other question about your irrigation system, stop by to visit us – we are always happy to help you.

in with sunshine and clear skies. The increasing lightning (albeit far away at that point) drove us off the lake from a dusk attempt at chasing the elusive Rainbow Trout, and we scampered back to camp just in time to avoid a brief downpour. It was simply a warmup for the show that Mother Nature was about to provide. As even better fortune would have it, Curtis and I had unknowingly planned our trip at the same time as the peak period for viewing the annual Perseid meteor shower. The Perseid meteor shower has been observed for about 2,000 years and takes its name because the point from where the meteor showers appear to come (called a ‘radiant; by star know-it-alls like Curtis) is situated from within the constellation Persus. According to Wikipedia, “the stream of debris is called the Perseid cloud and stretches along the orbit of the comet Swift-Tuttle. The cloud consists of particles ejected by the comet as it travels on its 133-year orbit. Most of the particles have been part of the cloud for around a thousand years.” Regardless of the data —the next four or five hours of star gazing will never leave my brain. Like young lads, Curtis and I sat fixated in our chairs; necks cranked uncomfortably backwards, and literally gazed up in the north sky as the most magical lightshow

in the heavens took place. The forked lightning turned into a plethora of sheet lightning and literally surrounding us in every compass direction, as the thunder began to roll in. Despite the partly blocked sky due to clouds the star display from a campsite high up in the mountains away from the glow of city lights was truly spectacular. Perseid’s addition literally “put it over the top.” As I watched the universe pass over, the boggling reality we have all felt about our world being a speck in the big picture engulfed me. Suddenly, my many personal worries and fears dissipated for a time as the magnitude of our universe truly unfolded before my eyes. After three hours or so the lightning disappeared and the skies opened up completely. Even after the major Perseid flurry was long over, Curtis and I remained visually glued to the skyline. Somewhere around 2 a.m. we finally ventured off to sleeping bags. The remainder of the trip was equally wonderful fun—we even caught a couple of fish for the first time in forever, not that it really mattered. As we headed back home to reality, we verbally replayed the highlights of our fishing journey—nd there were many. None of them, however, will likely linger in the memory banks for as long as the night we observed Mother Nature at her universal best.

GROWING your own food? Find tips to make water work best at www.MakeWaterWork.ca.

Save water for our farmers Without water, vegetation, including our food crops, stands little chance of survival in the heat of an Okanagan summer. Did you know, B.C. farmers meet about 50 per cent of our province’s food needs? They are vital to producing local, healthy food for our population that continues to grow. In the Okanagan, our numbers are projected to increase 45 per cent by 2036 to more than 260,000 people. For each one of those additions to our population, we need more food – which, in turn, needs more water to grow. Our farmers markets and fruit stands are ripe with wonderful fresh fruits and vegetables. To ensure this continues, it’s important that we make sure there’s enough water for the farmers to irrigate their crops. As the sun gets hotter and the ground gets drier, some might think it’s time to turn on the taps more often. Instead, we need to help farmers by doing our part to conserve water.

In fact, with government assistance and rebates, a growing number of Okanagan farmers are installing water meters, using drip irrigation and micro-jet sprinklers, and installing soil-moisture sensors to ensure they’re using only the water they need. But in the summer, we start to compete for water. If you have a vegetable garden, make sure to be WaterWise, using effective and efficient watering practices, paying attention to when and how much you water. Find tips at the website www.MakeWaterWork.ca. If we use less water, there’s more for the farmers to keep their crops growing. That means healthy fruits and vegetables for our growing population. Learn more at www.makewaterwork. ca, then “Take the Pledge” and enter to win $5,000 in WaterWise yard upgrades thanks to KelownaGardens.com.

Make Water Work is an initiative of the Okanagan Basin Water Board and its Okanagan WaterWise program.

Stay safe around dams Remember to stay safe this summer when visiting dams and around reservoirs

• Avoid fishing, boating and swimming above or below a dam. • Beware of floating debris and concealed hazards. • Use caution walking on slippery banks and shorelines. • Obey all warning signs and stay outside of restricted areas. For more safety tips, visit www.coopsafetyprogram.ca

Youngsters need to connect with nature B

efore today’s electronic gadgets got in the way, we were naturally much closer to nature. As kids, we didn’t have a choice between going outside to play and playing indoors with a device that had programs that simulated the outdoors. There’s no substitution for the real thing. Yet today, we’ve embraced the idea of amusing, educating and even babysitting our children with electronics instead of the real world. The results are going to be catastrophic unless we take action immediately to introduce those youngsters to bugs and plants, birds and beasts, -rocks and dirt, fish and -frogs. s Before the era of these -plug-in toys, young engineers first got interestged by building dams in the mud, using the hose to eprovide the water it held back and learning how diversions would reduce the stress on that dam. Heck, -I did too, and I never went into engineering. Young biologists first got the itch by catching rbees in bottles and watching them live or die. It was a childhood pastime of mine too. Early lessons in fish biology came from cleaning the fish we caught when we went out on the lake, and examining their fstomach contents so we sknew what to use on the end of the line next time. Sunday drives showed us how the landscape changed in the Okanagan when we drove uphill, with grasslands replaced by pines, firs, then spruce; mariposa lilies by columbines, lupines, and mountain heather—even as the air became crisper and cooler. Everyday activities actually taught us about nature and its cycles of life, without us realizing what we were learning. But today, we must

Judie Steeves make an effort to drag our young people away from the television, computer, iPod and iPad, electronic games and sounds, to participate in the real world of watching spiders weaving their intricate webs, building muddy dams to break, picking wildflowers to arrange, enjoying the song of the meadowlark, seeing a doe suckle her fawn, or a fish laying its eggs in a gravel bed. We need to re-connect a new generation to its roots. And, that’s exactly what members of the Oceola Fish and Game Club plan to do on Sunday, with the inaugural Community Youth Day, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the club’s Winfield Creek

Wildlife Habitat Preserve on Bottom Wood Lake Road. Families are invited to come and enjoy a multi-faceted day experiencing a variety of outdoors activities, from fly casting or tying flies to learning about the kokanee’s life cycle; shooting targets with a bow and arrow to a treasure hunt searching for moose, elk and deer antlers along the pathways on the preserve. Although those paths are not really suitable for strollers or for toddlers’ little feet, somewhat older youngsters will be introduced to birds such as grouse and pheasant, chickadee and junco as well as larger critters such as bears and other wildlife species. Organizer Sean Richardson, the club’s youth director, says it’s important that we raise the next generation to become stewards of the natural environment so that its future is assured. Without introducing them to the issues, they

won’t grow up to conserve/steward the resource, he reasons. Club president Jared Wilkison says this is just the first event to be held by the club to help get kids engaged in outdoors activities so they begin to value nature. It is those who are passionate about hunting and fishing who are also passionate about habitat conservation. He’s hoping events such as this will provide opportunities for those in the community who might not otherwise be exposed to such outdoor experiences. Because this is a nature preserve there are dangers such as stinging nettle which they will be warning youngsters about, and proper footwear, hats and sunscreen are important to bring. Club volunteers will

provide a barbecue lunch. It’s a drop-in day, with a variety of stations where the young people can try their hand at using a bow and arrow to shoot at targets, using one of the National Archery in the Schools program kits. The day is being sponsored by the Urban Systems Foundation. If you have questions, contact Richardson at 317-2233. Good on the hard-working volunteers from the Oceola club for all their effort to put this together. Judie Steeves writes about outdoors issues for the Capital News. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

▼ WASHINGTON STATE

Island a hidden treasure in popular state park Tan Vinh CONTRIBUTOR

DECEPTION PASS STATE PARK, Wash. _ I was told the paddle to the cabin would be short. I didn’t expect it would be shorter than the time it took to lift the kayak off the Subaru and into the water. That was more strenuous. A few lazy strokes here, some pauses to snap pictures of the Deception Pass Bridge there, and what do you know? Welcome to Ben Ure Island. Paddling time: five minutes. No sweat. No heart-pulsing paddle on the famed rough waters of Deception Pass. That would come later. We sometimes find the most wonderful escapes when we least expect them. That’s what Ben Ure Island was like for me. It’s located in Washington’s busiest state park, which for me is code for screaming kids, barking dogs, crowded campgrounds and too many hikers flooding the trails, hardly my idea of a tranquil getaway. I expected the worst. Ben Ure Island is located east of the iconic

Deception Pass Bridge, across from Cornet Bay on the north shore of Whidbey Island. It was late spring, shorts-andsandal weather, when a buddy and I reached the rocky bank at low tide. I couldn’t hear anything except birds rustling in the shade of madronas and Douglas firs. There were no other muddy footprints on the dirt trail but ours. In a park that draws about half a million visitors in July alone, I had stumbled on what may be its least trammeled patch of land. I didn’t just pay $100 for a night at a cabin. I got my own island for the night, with views of Mount Baker and the blue water of Deception Pass. This I could get used to. This I loved. We unloaded our gear, popped open a bottle of Prosecco and plopped on the cabin deck under the eye-wincing sky. A rufous hummingbird was sucking on a red flower two feet from me. I was in no hurry to leave this oasis. Ben Ure wasn’t always this quiet. In the late 1800s, the rowdiness from all the drunk loggers at a dance hall and saloon would echo across

this forested island. Trader Ben Ure used the island to smuggle in illegal Chinese immigrants for manual labor around the region. In the last two decades, the state park has bought eight out of the 10 acres on Ben Ure Island, including the cabin on the southwest corner that’s now available for rent. To give the four private homes on the island privacy, the state park allows public access to just cabin renters (maximum two people per stay) with only kayaks or other nonmotorized boats allowed to and from the island. We rented our twoseat kayak in Seattle, and we didn’t haul it all this way for just a five-minute paddle. The legendary roar of the tides can be a thing of beauty to watch from the park’s North Beach but hell to be in. The powerful current gets up to 8 knots through the narrow channel. Boats have been capsized, lives lost. We intended to paddle during slack tide, only we had lollygagged around the deck too long before we got to paddling. We got more than we bargained for.

We paddled across to Strawberry Island, the water sparkling like pop bottles on the roadside. The water was deceptively calm. Ahead, the silhouettes of lingcod fishermen under the arching bridge made for surreal scenery. We wanted a closer look. The bull kelp tangled in my paddle as we headed west. Once under the bridge and the hum of the cars, we let the kayak coast. We relaxed, chatted up some hard-luck anglers and laughed. We lost track of time. We let our guard down, just as the park ranger had warned against. We hadn’t noticed the tide was pulling us out farther toward Deception Island, in Rosario Strait. Beyond that: the wide open _ and often wild _ Strait of Juan de Fuca. Uh-oh, my buddy said. We paddled back but didn’t get far _ as if Mother Nature had hooked her finger on the back of our vessel as we tried to paddle forward. “Paddle, paddle,” my buddy said. I wanted to paddle, but I didn’t expect a workout. I could feel blisters developing in my right hand.

Luckily we escaped before the current picked up speed. It took us 15 minutes to paddle out, but 45 minutes to paddle back. I could hear the ranger’s admonishing voice in my head: Stick to the calm water around Cornet Bay. Check the tide chart. We had worked up an appetite, for sure. Back to the cabin. Time to settle in. On the island, there’s only a quarter-mile trail that’s accessible to the public, and the cabin, 12 feet by 24 feet, is smaller than your average fifthfloor walkup. The futon, when converted into a queen-size bed, takes up the living-room space. I mostly hung by the spacious deck. The aroma of garlic and fennel seed from the porchetta I had in the oven filled the cabin. It was too much for my growling tummy to bear. I sipped on Ti’ Punch while enjoying the last light of the evening. As it got darker, we warmed up with shots of Tennessee whiskey and snacked on some salty smoked salmon from

Seabolt’s Smokehouse, which we passed in Oak Harbor on the drive up. We laughed, drank and got loud, just like those drunk loggers and traders in the saloon more than a century ago, back when smuggler “Pirate Kelley” roamed these islands. Being secluded there, Ranger Jack Hartt said, “almost brings you back to the days of the pioneers. You truly feel like it’s your island for that time.” For one night, it really felt like it was mine. If you go GETTING THERE: Ben Ure Island is just east of the Deception Pass Bridge and north of Cornet Bay on Whidbey Island. Renters must check in at the Deception Pass State Park office on Highway 20 to pick up the cabin key and a map to the Dparking lot/boat launch. Access to Ben Ure Island is by nonmotorized vessels only. CABIN RENTAL:

For information on renting the cabin on Ben Ure Island, see parks.wa.gov/ yurtsandcabins/deceptionpass. Nightly rental fee is $91 plus tax, yearround. You may book up to nine months in advance. The modern cabin features a large deck overlooking the water, as well as a picnic table, fully furnished electric kitchen, queen-size futon, electric heat, lights, bathroom and outdoor shower. Visitors must bring their own drinking water to the site. The cabin is completely booked for August, but check back for cancellations. Openings are available in September and October. KAYAK RENTAL: No boat rentals are available at the park, and due to liability issues many kayak-rental outfits won’t allow customers to take vessels far from their base. We found one Seattle outfitter that allowed us to transport a kayak on top of our car for use at Deception Pass: Moss Bay

It is time again for the largest fundraising campaign for the animals of British Columbia. The Scotiabank and BC SPCA Paws for a Cause Walk to end animal cruelty will be held in communities around BC on Sunday, Sept. 8, 2013. In Kelowna, the event takes place at the north field of City Park. “We are really trying to focus on the larger picture this year of creating this movement to end animal cruelty,” said Suzanne Pugh, Kelowna SPCA branch manager. “Many people feel that they have to have a dog to attend this event and that is not true. We encourage all animal lovers to be involved and raise money to help our local abused, abandoned and unwanted animals.” The B.C. SPCA is known to work with cats, dogs and small animals but their mission reads: to protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals.

Malibu is Chevrolet’s first real global mid-sized sedan Lorne Drury CONTRIBUTOR

The Malibu name has been around for more than 35 years with sales of 8.5 million. But the redesigned 2013 version has the honour of being the first global mid-size car for Chevrolet. This new Malibu is now sold in more than 100 markets on six continents worldwide and represents an important vehicle for the Chevrolet brand. This is certainly true in Canada where the midsize segment makes up 20 per cent of the overall market and features some of the best-selling cars of all like the Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata and the Nissan Altima. While the new Malibu still trails these market leaders as of the end of June, Malibu sales are up a whopping 63.2 per cent year-to-date to 4,313 units, so things are looking up, although more changes are planned for the 2014 model.

Starting at $24,995 for the LS model, our tester was a Malibu LTZ with the 259 hp 2.0-litre Ecotec turbocharged four that was a late addition to the model lineup last fall. With a 0-100 km/h time of just over six seconds, this is the performance model of the bunch, although still a family car rather than a sports sedan. Starting price for the LTZ is $32,540, but our vehicle had options totaling $4,270 to bring the as-tested price to $38,410 when you add in the taxes and destination charge of $1,500. For 2013, the Malibu is only available with four-cylinder engines, with the base being an allnew 2.5-litre Ecotec, making 197 hp. Also offered is the Malibu ECO that has a 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine linked to an e-Assist system, also used on the Buick LaCrosse and Buick Regal. This light electrification system includes a 120-volt lithium ion battery pack. The combined gas-electric

THE CHEVROLET MALIBU has been totally re-engineered for 2013. This time around, it will only offer three four-cylinder versions, with the V6 engine being eliminated. system produces 182 hp. As with the outgoing model, the new Malibu is based on the same Epsilon II platform as the La-

Crosse. Chassis tuning is derived from the European Car of the Year, the Opel Insignia so the new Malibu has great DNA

from the get-go. Styling isn’t a great departure from the outgoing model, yet this is the most aerodynamic Chevy mid-

size ever with a coefficient of drag of 0.29. The new look gives the car a more planted, sporty stance with 16,

17, 18 or 19-inch wheels available, depending upon

MOTORING ▼ CHEVROLET

New Malibu has more cargo room than any previous model Chevy from B1 the trim level. There’s no doubt it’s a Chevrolet with the signature dual port grille with Chevy bow-tie insignia, while the rear fascia and taillamps are Camaro-inspired, according to General Motors. Trim levels include LS, 1LT, 1LT ECO, 2LT, 2LT ECO and LTZ. Even at the base LS level, standard equipment is plentiful including sixspeed automatic transmission, 16-inch alloy wheels, 60/40 split folding rear seat, keyless remote, air conditioning, cruise control, air conditioning Bluetooth handsfree phone connectivity, OnStar and a six-speaker

sound system with AM/ FM stereo and CD player. On the safety front, 10 airbags are standard along with four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, traction control and electronic stability control. Other optional safety features include lane departure/forward collision warning and rear camera systems. The car has more cargo volume than before with 463 litres of trunk space, up 34 litres from 2012. There is also improved front and rear shoulder room and front and rear hip room with 110 litres of increased interior space. The cabin of the Malibu features the Chevrolet signature wrap-around

dual cockpit design, again with a Camaro-inspired gauge cluster. Over all, the cabin is much improved with a decidedly more upscale look including the use of much more soft touch materials. Being top-of-the-line, the LTZ has lots of luxury touches like leather seating, dual zone climate control, eight-way power driver and passenger seat, remote start, upgraded nine-speaker Pioneer audio system with XM satellite radio and much more. Our tester had the Convenience Package ($1,755) featuring a sunroof, rearview camera, and universal home remote plus the LTZ Premium Package ($1,290) with Ez-Key passive entry

CONTRIBUTED

THE 2013 MALIBU has a much-improved interior look from the outgoing model. GM has ramped up the use of soft-touch materials and produced a more premium look to the cabin.

and push button start, HID headlamps and memory settings for driver’s seat and exterior mirrors. Also included were the Navigation Audio System ($795) that had a seven-inch colour touch screen and the Advanced Safety Package ($430) that had a lane departure warning and forward collision alert system. Among the neat touches inside is a sixinch deep hidden storage compartment behind the radio display. Ice blue ambient interior lighting adds a classy touch for night-

Seating is very comfortable up front, but cramped in the rear with limited legroom. You can fit five in a pinch, but long-distance trips might not be the most comfortable for those in back. Otherwise, this is a much-improved car over the previous generation that had been around since 2008. While the styling may not match up with the sexy looks of the Ford Fusion or Hyundai Sonata, with the turbo four-cylinder engine, the Malibu should be a real contender in the mid-size

time driving. This is the quietest Malibu ever, thanks in part to an enhanced body structure with a 20 per cent improvement in rear torsional stiffness over the current Malibu. Suspension is MacPherson struts up front with a multi-link setup in the rear. While GM has softened out the suspension from the European version to suit North American tastes, the car is far from removed from the ‘floaty’ feeling we used to get in big Chevys and Buicks of the past.

Q50 redefines being connected to the road Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR

The 2014 Infiniti Q50 does something I’ve never seen or felt before. It has an optional forward-looking collision warning radar that not only knows if the guy in front of you is braking – but the guy in front of him as well. Called Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW), it actually sends a radar pulse under the vehicle in front of you and locks on to the one ahead. Let’s say you’re following a big truck and the vehicle in front of it hits the brakes. At that point the Q50’s system goes into defensive mode and starts slowing you down - perhaps even before the driver of that big truck blocking your vision reacts. Not only do you feel the Q50 slow but there is a very visible warning on the driver information screen between the speedo and tach. And that’s just the beginning of the incredible use of leading edge driver/information technology in the Q50 that starts at $37,500. The PFCW is part of the $4,300 Deluxe Technology Package available on the Q50 and Q50 Hybrid. The package also includes: Back Collision Warning, Intelligent (radar ranging) Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, Blind

Spot Warning, Blind Spot Intervention, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist with Emergency Braking, Distance Adaptive Front Lighting with High Beam Assist SmartBeam (auto high/low change) and a little something called Active Lane Control. It takes the Q50 beyond the audio alert and steering wheel rumble of other, more common lane departure systems. Using cameras, it enhances on-centre driving with subtle steering corrections so the driver isn’t constantly fine-tuning the direction with the wheel. With it, the Q50 is so glued in the centre of the lane that a colleague told me, during the driving portion of the Canadian press introduction in Boston, he was able to drive five miles with his hands off the wheel with the Q50 never veering off centre. As for the PFCW, coming back into Boston through the new Canadian-built tunnel under the harbour, the Q50 I was in suddenly started to slow before the car in front started braking for another car in front of it. It was amazing. And while the Q50 comes with “normal” steering, another part of the Tech Package option is what Infiniti calls Direct Adaptive Steering.

You know it as fly-bywire as used in passenger aircraft and the space shuttle. It has a sensor that reads how much the driver moves the steering wheel and sends a message electrically to the steering box without there being a direct connection to the wheels. So what happens to the steering if there is a power/computer failure? A redundant steering shaft comes into play through an electric clutch that connects a steering rod to the box. The Q50 is one of the increasing number of “entry-level” luxury sedans, meaning that it is loaded with luxury content and options at a price usually starting in the $40,000-bracket. Infiniti sedans have always been handsome to look at and the Q50 improves on that with a lar-

ger, more pronounced grille and two dramatic character lines that start on each corner of the grille and part the hood from the fenders like a huge wave. The Q50 sedan is offered with a 3.7-litre DOHC V6 producing 328 hp and 269 lb/ft of torque or as a Hybrid with the addition of a 67 hp electric motor and 50 kW battery for a combined 360 hp and 214 lb/ft or torque. Premium gasoline is recommended and both models are available with rear- or all-wheel-drive. Pricing, depending on trim level and option packages, ranges from $37,500-$47,950 for the Q50 RWD and $43,400$51,750 for the Q50 AWD while the Q50 Hybrid is $47,000-$56,450. The technological tour de force continues on the inside with not one but three computer screens – an eight-inch upper and seven-inch lower screen

on the centre stack and a five-inch LCD display between the speedometer and tachometer. The upper eight-inch screen displays primarily driver oriented information and is accessed by touch, a rotary controller on the centre console or switches on the steering wheel. The lower seven-inch screen looks like a tablet which is what it really is. Touch operated, it is for infotainment systems. And like a tablet, Infiniti has a whole range of mobile apps coming in the fall like Facebook and Twitter. The smaller display displays driver information such as range, fuel consumption and uses switches on the steering wheel. The Infiniti Intelligent Key recognizes the driver by name and his/her specific settings. The key can store information on as many as four different drivers. And if that’s not enough, Infiniti Connection with your Apple or Android device provides SOS and crash notification to emergency services and in-vehicle access to an Infiniti 24/7 personal assistant. With the “geofencing” service, you can tell where you left your car and where it is going if someone else is driving. The biggest question I had during the very brief time I spent in the car was about the fly-by-wire steering. On the base Q50 with “normal steering”, there was the taut, quick response Infiniti feel I’ve come to expect. The optioned-up Q50 Hybrid with fly-by-wire can be described as very direct, but on beautifully-maintained interstate highways, there was no real chance to put the ride/ steering/handling to the

While tion mode. driving, kinetic energy to CONTRIBUTOR

recharge the battery can be gained by braking or coasting. In theory, if you lived within 50 km of work, you would never need to stop for gasoline again. The battery pack is an Audi design with 96 lithium-ion cells in eight modules weighing 125 kg. The curb weight of the A3 e-tron is 1,580 kg. Because lithium-ion batteries can get very hot under full load, the battery has a separate cooling package per module. Audi engineers told us at the press premiere of the car in Berlin that the

ideal operating temperature of the battery is 25 Celsius. In addition to the cooling packages, ambient air can be drawn in and above 45 Celsius and the air conditioner can also step in to help. The A3 e-tron is a plug-in hybrid because is uses power from the grid to charge the battery. With a 230-volt Audi designed charging station, it takes 2.45-3.5 hours to top up the battery. This length of time is primarily due the amount of electricity the cable can physically transmit. With

a 300-volt system, charging time is under one hour. The charging port is revealed when the Audi four-ring emblem on the grille slides to the left. That is one of the very few clues it is a hybrid not a “normal” A3 Sportback. Inside it is also a standard A3 with all the Audi specific design cues, controls, seating and build quality. The only difference is a “power meter” instead of a tachometer that uses a pointer to show how much juice is being taken from and added to the sys-

go at peak efficiency. At the same time, you can set the climate control so the car is the desired interior temperature when the driver is ready to leave. Another feature is using an app to enter charging time. This can be done by time or day and setting charging to 90 per cent and than adding the remained 10 per cent just before departure so the battery is full charged with no power loss in the interim. Cost is impossible to set at this time due to thousands of considerations that will have to be made between now and 2015. In terms of impact, the A3 e-tron is an Audi through and through and does not look, nor do I expect, will drive like a car that screams, “I’m saving the planet, I’m saving the planet.”

10 years ago today, you left our life and went away, We think of you everyday, But that is nothing new, We think of you in silence, We often speak your name, Now all we have is memories, and your picture in a frame, Your memory is a keepsake, With which we will never part. God has you in his keeping, But we have you in our heart.

Moments to Remember

Happy Thoughts

Happy Thoughts August 22nd

Rein Busch Happy 97th Birthday, Dad! With love from your family

Rick

Jennens

has been my Brother-in-law for many years.

His Birthday is a day before mine so we have been pranking each other’s birthdays for at least the last 20 years. I must admit I started it… He is a Volunteer Fireman with the main hall. Rick used to have beach parties, (when his family had a house on the beach). So, one summer he had a party for the Volunteers and I found out about it and sent a person dressed as a bunny hopping down the beach with a big bunch of balloons calling out his name, so all of the guys threw him in the lake! (They didn’t know that it was his birthday, and he didn’t want them to know). It was not the hottest weather that year either,

so the War of the Birthdays began! So here we are at his 60th Birthday and I would like everyone to

PHONE him and wish him a Happy 60th Birthday! (Cell # 250-862-7439)

Happy 60th Birthday

Rick Jennens!

CMHC adds High-end housing market still stagnant new setback ▼ REAL ESTATE SALES

Barry Gerding EDITOR

The downside of Kelowna’s last t of the last real estate boom in Kelowna is continuing to drag sales for high-end valued homes, says a local real estate agent. Andrew Smith, with Royal LePage, says sales of homes selling under $400,000 have bounced back this summer. But if you own a home in the $900,000-plus range, the sales stats tell a different story. In his regular newsletter, Smith points out there are 445 homes for sale priced over the $900,000 mark, which represents a significant part of Kelowna’s housing market. So far this year, 65 sales have been registered for those price category of homes, a time frame which equates to about nearly four years of inventory buildup.

“It’s probably worse when you consider how many other people are out there who have homes in that price range and want to sell but don’t feel they will get their value back right now,” Smith said. But unless prices fall further, the increase of sales for high-end homes that would further kickstart the housing market remains stagnant. “Those prices have to come down…and when they do it will have a ripple effect on the rest of the market,” Smith said in his newsletter. Smith acknowledged that outside money from investors looking to buy real estate in Kelowna continues to fuel the local market. “During the summer, sales are up because you are seeing those people, such as Albertans, entering the market,” Smith said. “But when you look at the November, December, January

period, that is carried largely by local buyers, and the market isn’t as active.” Citing Statistics Canada data that places the average Kelowna income at $55,000, he said that limits the ability of local buyers to invest in higher-end homes, starting at $650,000 to $700,000 and up. The huge equity increases in Kelowna homes during the building boom between 2003 and 2008 are not being seen today as the speculative aspect of the real estate market has cooled off. “When the market was hot, you would sit down with a client and come up with a high price for your home you would like to get, and an absolute bottom line number you won’t go below,” Smith said. “You would take that high number and add five to 10 per cent. Today, you have to look at that low end number, and drop it five to 10 per cent further.”

Smith says a downsizing of expectations is already evident in newer homes being built, smaller in size and with less expensive features to lower the price. “I think you are seeing more people now buying less than what they can actually afford,” he said. “Where 10 years ago, people were buying the 3,300 squarefoot house with the granite countertops and all the other fancy features, buyers are starting to scale back,” he said. But while the market may still suffer form post-boom uncertainty, he said there are positive factors to keep in mind. He says Kelowna still remains a destination place to live, especially for retirees, so the population will continue to grow, and more than 50 per cent of homes in the city are mortgage-free, and the local first-time buyer segment is active in the market.

▼ OF PRIME INTEREST

Stepping back from edge of a financial cliff Canada’s benchmark interest rate has been at one per cent for more than two years. As a result many Canadians have gotten pretty comfortable floating along on a cloud of cheap debt. About 28 per cent of homeowners have a variable rate mortgage. To be clear, variable mortgages have provided huge savings in recent years. Remember that interest rates on variable-rate mortgages are based on the prime rate so borrowers have enjoyed very low interest costs on their mortgages. Unfortunately, the party may soon be over. When the Bank of Canada does boost interest rates, the payments on variable-rate mortgages will rise too. Suppose that you have a mortgage with a $300,000 balance at 2.5 per cent variable interest rate over a 25-year amortization period.

That equates to a monthly mortgage payment of $1,344. If your mortgage rate increased to 3.5 per cent, that mortgage payment will increase to $1,497. To be financially safe, most experts recommend that those who choose a variable-rate mortgage be prepared to pay up to two per cent more per month by boosting the monthly payment on that $300,000 mortgage to $1,660. From the example above, that’s $316 more per month—a number that could prove to be a serious burden for cash-strapped borrowers. Some variable-rate mortgages allow borrowers to lock in at a fixed interest rate. If you opt for a variable rate mortgage, understand that it’s a bit of a gamble. If you’re on a tight budget and paying a variable rate, you are living on the edge. About 42 per cent of the $25,000 of non-mortgage debt

the average Canadian carries is in the form of a line of credit. In many respects, a line of credit is a great way to borrow money. It’s flexible, it comes without fees and it’s much cheaper than a credit card. The risk here comes with the fact that lines of credit are variable-rate loans, which means that a borrower’s minimum payment can increase significantly if interest rates rise. That can hit people especially hard if that increase is combined with other forms of variable rate debt. Suppose that you’re carrying $10,000 on a line of credit at a five per cent variable interest rate. The minimum payment on most lines of credit is three per cent of the balance, which in this case would amount to $300. If that rate rises by one per cent, your minimum payment will increase about $8 more per

month in interest charges. That may not sound like much, but thanks to the power of compounding even modest interest rate increases can make a large debt grow a lot faster making it harder to pay off. Interest rate fluctuations are a fact of financial life. The ultra-low interest rates have made it easy to live on borrowed money, but that amounts to living a dream. When interest rates rise—and eventually they will—it’ll be time to tighten our belts, step back from the edge and wake up to reality.

ou continuously hear economists, banks and market pundits refer to a soft or hard landing when it comes to the real estate market. Well, I would like someone to tell me where that infamous bottom of the housing market is located. Economists have been predicting a market crash now for years, which didn’t seem too far off when compared to the number of sales in the first quarter for the Central Okanagan. But statistics don’t lie. Our market has been showing signs of recovery over the past few months despite the HST transition, tighter lending rules and a saturated market. This recovery is not REAL ESTATE only being experienced RUNDOWN in the Central Okanagan, but elsewhere across the country. Despite all the restricting measures the govhas been imCeinwen ernment plementing, the real esMorgan tate market has continued to struggle for a bounce back that almost now seems possible. However, fear of our country reliving the crash of 2007 has led the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation to impose yet another lending adjustment. CMHC will now put a cap on the amount of mortgage-backed securities they will guarantee which are sold by banks. CMHC notified banks, credit unions and other mortgage lenders those guarantees will be restricted to a maximum of $350 million worth of new mortgage-backed securities per month under its National Housing Act Mortgage-Backed Securities program. In 2012, the limit given for mortgaged-backed securities was $76 billion; earlier this year Ottawa announced it would increase the limit to $85 billion. But by the end of July, barely over halfway through the year, the banks had already reached $66 billion in the program. This is the justification of CMHC’s new lending restriction. In 2012, CMHC disclosed that the housing agency had $562 billion worth of mortgages on its books, close to its legally mandated limit of $600 billion. The governments concerns are still there that Canadians are taking on too much debt too quickly with low interest rates, and the worry of rates spiking might cause for another market crash. Also, there is speculation that CMHC’s latest adjustment this may force lenders to increase the current low mortgage rates. But the question I ask is will we be sacrificing now and paying less later on or is this just the government’s paranoid way of controlling the market in fear of another notorious crash that may never happen? Either way, we win and lose. Ceinwen Morgan has worked in the Kelowna real estate industry for the past five years.
