CLOSE-UP

Chasing Olympic glory

Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

A lot has happened in Kelsey Serwa’s life since she competed in her first Olympic Games in 2010 in Vanouver.

Five World Cup wins, a world championship, an X Games title, two season-ending knee injuries and a back injury have all been part of the 23-yearold Kelowna ski-cross racer’s roller-coaster journey of the last three years.

Now, if all goes as planned over the next six months, Serwa’s résumé will soon include a trip to the top of the podium at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia.

“Just making it to the Olympics isn’t my goal this time,” Serwa said.

“My goal is to win at the Olympics. I don’t want anything less than that.”

In the process of recovering from her second knee surgery in as many years, Serwa hopes her road to gold will begin on the World Cup ski-cross circuit in December, possibly at a race in San Candido, Italy, where she has been victorious three times before.

From there, the former Big White Racer will look to secure a spot with Canada’s contingent at the Olympics as quickly as possible.

“There is a definite criteria to make it (to Sochi), but for me basically I

just have to ski fast,” said Serwa, who has seven career World Cup victories.

“I’m not going to focus on exact results. I just need to be fast and the rest should take care of itself.

“When I get back into racing, I want to get on the podium right away, no feeler-outers,” she added.

“I know I’m capable of that, I don’t see a reason why that can’t happen.”

Kelsey Serwa Serwa is on the road back from a second serious injury to her left knee in as many years.

She first blew out her ACL after crashing at a race in Alpe d’Huez, France in January 2012.

After a long and arduous recovery, Serwa made a triumphant return to the World Cup in 2012-13, winning races in Russia and Italy.

But then on March 10 of this year, a second setback saw Serwa re-injure the knee while preparing for the world championships in Norway.

Now nearly five months into her second rehab of the knee, Serwa feels confident in making a successful return to the slopes.

“It’s going great, it’s still the same knee but there’s way less trauma,” she said. “It’s doing better now than it even was last October or November. I’m stronger than I was last year, I learned a lot from last time and I feel good.”

“My knee isn’t a factor, it didn’t slow me down last year when I came back, so I feel like I can do it again.”

As for her mental approach after two knee injuries, Serwa doesn’t expect much to change in her racing philosophy as she heads back on to the snow.

“I’m going to do my best not to be different,” she said. “What I brought to the sport when I first started is what makes me good. I have been learning along the way, when to risk and not to risk, when to be conservative and smart. I’ve just been a little unlucky. Hopefully with the added experience, I’ll have all the pieces I need to be successful.”

At the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, Serwa was narrowly ousted for second place in the women’s ski cross semifinal, denying her a berth in the final and ultimate-

ly a shot at a medal. She went on to win the small final to place fifth overall.

Serwa said the disappointment of not getting to the podium three years ago has only fuelled her desire to climb to the pinnacle in Sochi.

“That experience (in 2010) just made me hungry. To miss the podium by a few inches was hard.

“Heading into my first Olympics, I just thought I’m happy to be there. It was a great experience.

Now it’s much more than that. I’m going there to win. Just racing won’t be enough.”

••• When he first climbed on to a skeleton sled six years ago, the possibility of competing in the Olympic Games was little more than a far-off pipe dream for Eric Neilson.

In the summer of 2013, the 32-year-old Kelowna athlete is a couple of good races away from securing a spot on Canada’s team for the 2014 games in Sochi, Russia.

A member of Canada’s national senior squad the last two years, Neilson has had his share of success on the international circuit, including a fourth-place showing at the world championship in Switzerland and three fifth-place finishes in World Cup events.

To get to Sochi, Neilson first needs to qualify at the Canadian team’s se-

If that goes as planned, then the Rutland Senior Secondary grad would need just one top-six finish in the first four World Cup Races of 2013-14 to make the grade for Russia.

“I really didn’t know how long it would take me to get this close, but

it’s been a goal of mine for a while now to get to the Olympics,” said Neilson, who spent the 201011 season with Canada’s developmental team before moving up. “My confidence has built up over time…for the first few years, I would have a good race, then I’d have some horrible races. Over

the last year, I’ve become more consistent and feel now like I belong out there with the top guys.

I feel like I’m mentally ready for this.”

Canada’s spaceman to speak in Kelowna The first Canadian to walk in space is coming to Kelowna.

Retired astronaut Chris Hadfield will speak at Kelowna’s Community Theatre, Oct. 7, as part of UBCO’s Distinguished Speaker series.

His talk, The Sky is Not the Limit, will touch on the lessons he’s learned throughout his career in the fields of leadership, teamwork, collaboration, science and technology.

Dubbed “the most famous astronaut since Neil Armstrong” by the BBC, Hadfield became a worldwide sensation by harnessing the power of social media to make Outer Space accessible to millions.

Hadfield returned to space Dec. 19, 2012 and took command of the International Space Station March 13, 2013.

His multiple daily tweets and photographs from space helped people see the world differently.

His Twitter conversation with William Shatner, who played Captain Kirk

Kelowna’s Best Buffet for over 33 Years

Tues-Sun

in the original Star Trek series, went viral.

“Are you tweeting from space?” asked Shatner.

“Yes, standard orbit, Captain. And we’re detecting signs of life on the surface,” Hadfield quickly responded.

Prior to that, Hadfield achieved many firsts in Canadian space history.

In 1992, he was among the first chosen as Canada’s second class of astronauts. Three years later, he became the first Canadian to use the Canadarm and the first Canadian to board a Russian spacecraft during his mission to the Russian space station.

In 2001, he performed two spacewalks as a mission specialist on STS100.

Hadfield has received the Vanier Award, the NASA Exceptional Service Medal and the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal. He was inducted into Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame in 2005 and was commemorated on

Patio Misting Systems For less than $30 you can set up a misting system for your umbrella or sun shade. These smaller portable systems can be set up in minutes and have you sitting back in your easy chair cooled off and refreshed. We have a variety of small kits that can be temporarily or permanently installed. They are ideal for cooling small patios, gazebos, RV’s garden areas and even pets. Most of the kits come pre-assembled and only require minimal work to put together….just add water! The pet cooling kit is ideal for your four legged friends and are great in the hot sun for some added fun with your pet.

How do misting systems work? Misting is one of the most effective and efficient methods available for cooling open outdoor areas. Mist cooling works by forcing water through specially designed misting nozzles to create a fog of ultra fine water droplets. The water droplets quickly evaporate which then in turn cool the surrounding air. When properly designed, a mist cooling system will work with prevailing winds and air movement. A misting system can be combined with misting fans to move mist or cooled air into the cooled zones.

In most cases a misting system can reduce the temperature by at least 15 degrees celsius.

Make sure you stop by the store and talk to anyone of the staff about your next misting system purchase…

To the editor: As we remember Firestorm 2003, let me add our two pennies.

Our emergency animal rescue volunteers responded to Firestorm 2003 as well to evacuate animals and safely shelter them during this hell.

That year, we had decided to join an American group called Noah’s Wish. Believe me, we were kept busy during the summer of 2003. First in Osoyoos with a fire on Anarchist Mountain. Then, a gas leak in Penticton. On the August long weekend, we deployed to 100 Mile House to cover Barriere north and then split our team to assist in Kamloops.

With only a two day break from that fire, we mobilized to Kelowna.

It was an amazing response and with the guidance of a mentor from the Justice Institute, CDART (Canadian Disaster Animal Response Team) was born.

Our volunteers worked around the clock and to this day, many of that crew are still recovering from compassion fatigue and burn-out.

All three easily won so Premier Christy Clark could run in a their respective ridings, taking more byelection. than half the entire votes cast in each Despite the fact the three Central riding.

Okanagan seats were seen as “safe” But while Thomson’s campaign for the Liberals, Thomson, Letnick and in Kelowna-Mission spent the most Stewart were taking no chances in the at $76,268 (compared to the NDP’s election given the widespread belief the Tish Lakes $24,500) and Letnick the Liberal government was on its way out

prior to the campaign.

But we know what happened to “conventional wisdom” on election night. The Liberals turned it on its head and not only won, they did so with a mandate for another majority government.

Stewart served just one day of his second term in office—he was sworn in and immediately resigned after earlier saying he would do so to let Clark run here. When Clark ran in the byelection, she bettered Stewart’s 58 per cent of the total vote haul by nearly four per cent.

So, did the local Liberals need to spend so much when the chances of electing an NDP MLA in these parts is so remote?

Thomson, Letnick, Stewart and even Clark—who lost her Vancouver -area seat on election night—will tell you over-confidence is a killer when

seeking election. Taking the electorate for granted is often a straight path to an incumbent politician having to insert the word “former” in front of that title after the votes are counted.

Given the doom and gloom the Liberals were facing heading into the election, not even the local trio running in “safe” Liberal ridings could count on an automatic return to the Legislature.

But in Stewart’s case, all his hard work and the spending that went along with it eventually went for nought.

I’m told several re-elected MLAs offered to step down for Clark, including Thomson and Letnick. But it was Stewart’s seat the premier chose.

That’s the problem with making such a magnanimous offer—it might just be accepted.

A Tradition of Sound Advice

Harper’s choice: Canada a colony or democracy To the editor: Is Stephen Harper heading for the closet— again?

This time it’s the Senate, and not knowing what to do about it, what better action than to prorogue Parliament.

To be fair, this time it is a lot more complicated.

In Bev Oda’s case he was dealing with only one person and a single issue that ended with the Conservative government losing a vote of confidence, and being found in contempt of Parliament.

This time at least four Senators are involved, and while he was procrastinating, the

matter slipped out of his hands and is now with the RCMP. Having admitted to having “perused” Senator Wallin’s spending and expressed an element of comfort with her claims, the optics are not good.

The larger issue is the future of the Senate.

In its present form the Senate can only stall legislation, and only for six months.

To be truly effective, our Senate needs the same legislative authority as the US Senate, which can propose, amend and defeat legislation, and by being able to do so provide much needed balance to the House of Representatives, which is the equivalent to our

House of Commons.

The tricky part for Harper is how to handle the process of determining whether we keep the Senate, change the role of the Senate, or eliminate it.

Will he acknowledge that we are still a colony and exercise his colonial powers to implement his decision or, will he insist that we are a democracy and let the people decide, by means of a binding national referendum?

Trying to unload it onto the courts is completely irrational, and just another cop-out.

Price of power a deal until corporations take over To the editor: This Powerex and BC Hydro controversy is interesting—a big loss for BC citizens.

Was it not our famous former premier, Mr. Campbell, who wanted so badly to sell our B.C. hydro to the private sector to “balance our books” and to have extra cash to win the next election?

What did we end up with?

We lost $750 million

to crooked dealings with other private power corporations in the USA and in California. This was something to do with Enron and the scandal of power deals.

We could have been on the hook for $3.7 billion but got away with only a $750 million loss.

A loss like that is equivalent to double that since a loss is money gone out the window—we get no benefit from that.

Next time California cannot pay their power bill, we should just cut off the export of any more power until they pay up.

What is BC Hydro getting us into making deals like that?

Now, we are told

by BC Hydro that we “must” build Site C dam or we will have to import power. BC Hydro spends $970 million of consumers’ money on smart meters (bought from off-

shore—China?). Do B.C. residents realize that the cost of the smart meters is directly going to be paid by them and not BC Hydro—any money BC Hydro gets comes from us, the B.C. consumers of power.

The money spent on smart meters could have installed some hot water solar panels on just about every domestic home and business in B.C. Take a good look at Hawaii

www.brenteilers.com www.resultsyoudeserve.ca brent@brenteilers.com RE/MAX Kelowna

where every home has solar hot water panels installed due to high electric costs.

Please, ask yourself: What would have become of BC Hydro had Mr. Campbell sold the whole of BC Hydro to the private side? If you think power prices are high now, wait until the private sector gets a hold of it.

So much to ponder in figuring out the universe To the editor: Read in a recent poster for an upcoming lecture: “A set of 70 million-yearold fossils from southern Alberta has added weight to theories that dinosaurs may have first sprouted feathers to show off, not takeoff. These winglike structures would have been used for reproductive activities (courtship, display, brooding) and were only later…co-opted for other roles including flight.”

Some scientists, who dismiss any kind of a Creator, use such examples as proof of Darwinian mindless evolution. I added ‘mindless,’ as evolutionists have never mentioned mind, which is essential for any kind of decision-making to be able to ‘select.’ Like Richard Dawkins says: “Natural selection is a cumulative process, and Darwin teaches us to seek out graded ramps of slow-

ly increasing complexity as flowers use a bribe of food, usually nectar.”

As I could never accept the man-made Bible stories, or plain accidental evolution, I coined the word creavolution, to mean a creative brain within the process of evolution.

In the light of our present understanding I would call it “software” that could have been programmed by super intelligence with the Big Bang that is then activated when planetary conditions are right.

However it all started, and whatever for, we’re here now and I’m wondering about a million things. “How the clever bumblebee is able to fly by somehow exploiting some very intricate combination of vortex dynamics, which is beyond quantitative mathematical analysis. We discovered that the flapping motion caus-

es the leading edge vortex to spiral out to the wingtip, siphoning off the vortex and delaying stall. The augmented lift, coupled with the delayed stall, is the principle mechanism that insects use for generating lift.

“This is the conclusion, with the help of high-speed photography, how the bumblebee can fly, after decades long denials by scientists that they shouldn’t be able to fly.”

Did that little bee brain figure this out all by itself, or does ‘software’ make more sense?

I’m amazed that biology professor Richard Dawkins is regarded as ‘a giant’ in the scientific community and can say that “physical evidence of God is the necessary catalyst, if he existed and chose to reveal it, God himself could clinch the argument noisily and unequivocally in his favour.”

This is just as foolish as

some religious beliefs he is trying to discredit, however justified.

Today, as I write this, I got a reminder that 68 years ago an all-Christian bomber crew dropped a plutonium bomb on the city of Nagasaki, with the prayers and blessings of Catholic and Lutheran chaplains. And the carnage goes on, and the planning for more, just like my fruitless appeal to Bill Gates and Ted Turner. (http://www.baltimorechronicle.com/ol_symposium_jan03.html) This massacre cost more than a trillion dollars, devastated Iraq and more than a million people lost their life and many more millions were crippled for life and left homeless.

I’ve been orbiting the

sun since 1935, and have researched the causes of our problems, and sought to learn if there are possible solutions. What do I really know? I’m just thinking while standing on the shoulders of giants and trying to consolidate ‘some’ of their genius. But as far as a Creator-God is concerned— this a billion times a billion times bigger than we could ever imagine.

I just borrowed this ‘superlative’ from cosmologist Alan Guth who said: “This force (Big Bang) was so powerful it could take a bit of space as tiny as a molecule and blow it up to the size of the Milky Way in a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of the blink of an eye.” Wow.

Although I’ve been assured by entomologists that the bite of the Black Widow Spider is generally not too serious, it’s the one spider common in this part of the world that has a bite that can be harmful to humans.

So, as soon as I can convince her to come out from underneath the board at the front of the step, I intend to get rid of her, even though generally I find spiders quite fascinating, and they’re very beneficial in the garden.

lenging and interesting and it can be a helpful pastime when it comes to discovering problems such as termites, another insect that’s not uncommon around here, and one that can lead to structural problems in buildings.

A Capital News colleague challenged me to identify a beautiful spider her sister had caught on camera in a tree in their backyard, and I think it’s a cat-faced orb weaver spider. They’re not harmful to humans, can’t see well and rely on impulses from their signal lines to know when a sticky line in the orb-shaped web has caught prey.

Each night, the old web is replaced by a new one, spun in the dark by touch. You’ll often notice their amazing art highlighted by morning dew at this time of year early in

the morning.

If identifying spiders isn’t your thing, perhaps birds would interest you more, or plants.

Harbour Publishing has put out a marvellous series of lightweight, water-repellant, fold-up field guides with excellent photographs.These are especially good for quick reference, and for beginners, because there isn’t room for a lot of detail or for many species in a backpack or pocket-friendly guide.

Halle Flygare is a fabulous wildlife photographer who also took many of the photographs in George Scotter’s excellent reference for local plants Wildflowers of the Rocky Mountains, and he is the author of a Field Guide to Wildlife of the Rocky Mountains.

It includes more than 100 colour photos of wild birds and mammals, along with size and range, common and latin names of each, from the tiny Rufous Hummingbird to the majestic Bighorn Sheep.

“Earlier this year, CATSA made adjustments to its operations on a national basis to ensure it remained within its approved budget, while continuing to maintain the highest levels of security,” said Mathieu Larocque, CATSA spokesman, in a written response to questions about staff changes.

The first round of adjustments did not result in layoffs, the statement said.

Roger Knox VERNON MORNINGSTAR

Crown counsel in Vernon says it has no interest in incarcerating a 95-yearold Vernon man suspected of murder.

However, Howard Pontious said Wednesday his office had few options but to charge the man with murder after he allegedly assaulted his 85-year-old roommate in a two-bed room at Vernon Jubilee Hospital’s Polson residential care facility Sunday at around 11 p.m.

The man who died was identified by family Thursday as William George May, 85, a longtime Vernon resident.

Polson, operated by Interior Health, is a 26bed secured dementia

unit that provides care for people whose illness is complicated by behavioural or psychiatric issues.

John Furman, a decorated Second World War veteran, was charged with murder on Monday. He has been sent to a Kamloops psychiatric facility for an assessment.

“We really had little choice even though we’re aware of his difficult medical circumstances,” said Pontious outside of Vernon Provincial Court, where Furman’s next court date was scheduled for Sept. 25.

“There’s a procedure in the (Criminal) Code and the procedure is to prove the facts. If we have a medical report that supports the suspect is not

criminally responsible because of a mental disorder, we’d be in a position to send the accused to the provincial review board to address the main concern in this case, and that is the risk he poses to other people.

“Unlike most murder cases, we’re not looking at punishment or retribution.”

Pontious said Furman has already been declared certified under the Mental Health Act as a person incapable of looking after himself because of his mental dysfunction.

It was Pontious’ understanding that Furman had been living on his own with assistance until recently, when it was determined he needed full-time care.

Arrests in two bank robberies Two men have been charged in connection with two of the three separate BMO bank robberies this summer.

On Aug. 8, RCMP responded to a report of a robbery at the Bank of Montreal located at 1141 Harvey Avenue.

An unknown man entered the bank advising the teller that he had a weapon and passed a note asking for a large sum of

money.

Sean Cavanagh, 27, was arrested on Burtch Road near Springfield Road and has since been charged with robbery.

Further investigation revealed the identity of a second suspect, who police also linked to a previous robbery that occurred on July 19, at another BMO, located at 3155 Lakeshore Road.

On Aug. 17, police ar-

rested Joshua Friesen, 19, in relation to both robberies and he has since been charged with two counts of robbery.

Friesen and Cavanagh both remain in custody and are scheduled to appear in court later this month.

The third robbery, which saw the BMO at 1875 Dilworth Drive hit on July 22, has yet to be solved.

ENTERTAINMENT

Couple take their dismantled relationship on the road Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Breakups, tawdry affairs and yearnings of the flesh have long been the fodder of artistic musing, from the thinly-veiled teenage lover in Picasso’s paintings to the songs born of Taylor Swift’s heartbreak.

It isn’t very often two people in a band breakup then take to the road to sing about it, however.

“I think Stephanie and I are in a good place,” said Jasper Sloan Yip, in a telephone interview from the road this week. “I sent her all the songs before we recorded and it almost provided a lot of closure for us. It’s all just kind of on the table, you know?”

CONTRIBUTED

JASPER SloanYip plays the Streaming Café at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 31.

The Stephanie he speaks of is Stephanie Chatman, the violinist in Yip’s band and the sub-

ject of much discussion in Foxtrot, the Vancouver artist’s sophomore release.

A Top 20 finalist from the 2011 Peach Performance Project, Yip is a successful Canadian touring

act with a complex flavour born out of an honest desire to continue experimenting and pushing boundaries.

The Streaming Café, where his current tour will conclude next Saturday, Aug. 31, is one of his favourite stops in the country.

“I prefer listening rooms to vibes in clubs when we’re not in our hometown,” he said.

Trying to stage the type of messages contained in some of these songs wouldn’t be easy above the raucous of a heavily populated bar, sentimental and frankly angst-riddled as many of the lyrics sound.

The relationship is really just the surface of

▼ MOVIE PREVIEWS

World’s End ‘most entertaining of the year’

A

lthough I am interested in The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones and it will likely be the top movie of the weekend, I am much more excited about The World’s End. For most trilogies, the name of the collection is decided upon before or during the filming of the first movie. However, it wasn’t until halfway through filming of the second movie of the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy that the producers decided officially to call it that.

In England, Cornetto is an ice cream treat similar to the Drumstick in North America and in the hilarious zombie spoof Shaun of the Dead, the red strawberry flavour was featured, representing

MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis the blood and gory elements of that movie.

In action spoof Hot Fuzz, the Cornetto featured was the blue original, signifying the police element in the film. The newest instalment is the alien invasion spoof, The World’s End, which features mint chocolate chip representing aliens and science fiction.

The other constants in the trilogy are the key players—writer-director Edgar Wright (also responsible for Scott Pil-

grim vs. The World), writer-star Simon Pegg (Star Trek’s new Scotty) and star Nick Park.

It is the story of five childhood friends who, 20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, reunite to attempt it again. Although some are reluctant, it is up to an adolescent 40-yearold to drag them on an ale-filled journey that will ultimately land them at a pub called The World’s End. However, intoxication will not be the biggest obstacle from reaching their aptly named destination, but rather an alien invasion.

Critics are calling it the most entertaining movie of the year and even better than its predecessors. And even though it is part of a tril-

ogy, each movie has new characters and the stories are not interconnected so you do not have to watch the first two to enjoy the third. However, I highly recommend that you do.

Based upon the first of a six-book series, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones could be the next Twilight or Hunger Games.

Set in contemporary New York City, Lily Collins (Mirror, Mirror and daughter of Phil Collins) stars as a young girl whose life is upended when she discovers she is the descendant of a line of Shadowhunters, a secret cadre of young half-angel warriors locked in an ancient battle to protect our world from demons. Although it is unusual for a movie to become a block-

buster this late in the summer movie season, the producers are betting on it as they have already announced a sequel based upon the second book in the series, called City of Ashes.

Horror movie fans will rejoice with the arrival of You’re Next, as it is getting unusually good reviews for a slasher film.

When a gang of masked, axe-wielding murderers descend upon the Davison family reunion, the hapless victims seem trapped—until an unlikely guest of the family proves to be the most talented killer of all.

Rick Davis is the general manager of Landmark Cinemas 8 in West Kelowna. landmarkwk_gm @landmarkcinemas.ca

the music, though, in the work which clearly operates as a metaphor for an even deeper relationship between the artist and his vocation.

“You love her like you love our work: she makes you happy when she doesn’t make you hurt,” a line from the opening song It Must Be True states.

Foxtrot is an album of themes and recurring messages that feels like one does when trying to work through a relationship that simply isn’t working anymore. Interestingly, Yip sounded as though the tour, and being out on the road rehashing this mishmash of thoughts, was exactly where he wants to be

Today’s youth are taking initiative and defining their own ways of volunteering. They are career-focused and see volunteering as a support for employment, skill development and networking.

So when they come to the volunteer fair on Saturday, Sept. 7 at Parkinson Recreation Centre, what questions might they have?

Is the charity active in social media? Youth want to connect online and they like to donate online as well.

Does your charity value input by youth?

Gone are the days of being told what to do, when, where and how. Young people want to help plan, create and implement.

Is there a mentoring system in place? Youth want to gain skills that are transferable to the work-

Latest boy band, Emblem3, on its way to stadium star status

EMBLEM3; NOTHING TO LOSE (COLUMBIA)

Emblem3 recently won Breakout Group at the 2013 Teen Choice Awards beating out the likes of The Lumineers -and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis while The Huffingfton Post hails them as “the next boy band to watch.”

And, true to form, -the debut album for Emblem3 hit the Top 10 sales -charts on both sides of the border last week. o The trio of broth-ers Keaton and Wesoley Stromberg and their aclose friend since boyhood Drew Chadwick have seen nothing but an eupward trajectory in their musical career since competing on the second sea-son of The X Factor. The lads co-wrote a few songs -on this debut that is a little -different from the run of ethe mill boy bands for its -occasional blend of ska and reggae in the mix.

However, in spite of this, almost all songs eventually end up as arena chants so that found and future fans can sing along when the group hits the mega big-time that most people are predicting for them.

The trio—hence the name Emblem3 and their soon to be omnipresent logo E3—have scored a sizable hit with their lead off single Chloe (You’re The One For Me) which is based on a loose theme of sibling rivalry.

But several other tracks on Nothing To Lose will also contend for

Right now Emblem3 have scored a coveted spot on Selena Gomez’ huge Stars Dance tour that runs the rest of this summer and well into the fall so that after this huge exposure, the lads seem set to solidify their fortune.

Although a lot of the songs on this first offering sound a touch too cut from the same cloth, the lads tackle a couple of interesting topics not usual for boy bands who mostly want to attract tweeny puppy love and sell-able adoration.

On the slightly Bob Marley-like One Day they hope for “the end of wars” while on Jaiden (a gender neutral name) the trio laments the loss of a close friend who died too young.

Fans will want to know that this album also comes as a Deluxe Edition with four extra songs that offers some dance rock with Do It All Again and the aforementioned Jaiden.

Emblem3 haven’t re-invented the wheel

Walking Papers is the self-titled debut album from the Seattle-based foursome of Duff McKagan, of Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver, Barrett Martin of Screaming Trees with Jeff Angell and Benjamin Anderson both formerly of The Missionary Position.

This is an album of all originals with all songs written by the team of Angell and Martin and in spite of their Pacific Northwest grunge pedigree, Walking Papers sound is mostly rootsy and uncomplicated blues rock.

Classic Rock magazine has called this album “a masterpiece of mood and tension” and that is how this album begins.

The lead off song Already Dead is a haunting and self-loathing ballad with menacing metronome drumming where Angell sings about being “a casualty of who I used to be.”

The feature single, The Whole World Is Watching, is straight up, spare blues rock that seems impatient for change with the lyric “hurry up and wait” while this single is bound to get major rock station attention with its guitar solo

by Pearl Jam’s Mike Mc-

Cready.

Meanwhile, the band appears to be channeling a bit of Deep Purple’s Space Truckin’ and the Rolling Stones swagger on the rocker Red Envelopes while the slow cooking ballad The Butcher has a Gothic murder motif complete with marimbas and echo FX. In fact, the middle body of this album is interesting for its story songs. On the David Lynch and Mark Sandman (of Morphine)-like song A Place Like This, the mysterious girl he was dancing with in a seedy bar vanishes into thin air on the floor as she is a ghost.

Two Tickets And A Room has an intriguing and sodden Leaving Las Vegas theme while I’ll Stick Around has a femme fatale at its core while McCready lays down another solid guitar solo.

A solid set of edgy blues rock without any of the grunge or metal leanings of the past and these songs grow on you with repeated listens.

BThe Civil Wars Musical Note: Well, if you are going to get it wrong you might just as well get it spectacularly wrong. Last week I wrote that I didn’t think that The Civil Wars eponymous sophomore album would surpass their debut release Barton Hollow that hit the top 10 in the USA last year. I could not have been more off target as The Civil Wars’ second album has made its debut at the No.1 spot on the album sales charts in both Canada and on Billboard while the album is also charting very highly around the rest of the globe.

Sun better equipped for Rams in 2013 Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Last summer, the Okanagan Sun offered next to no resistance to the Langley Rams.

The defending B.C. Football Conference champs routed the Sun in all three meetings in 2012 by a cumulative score of 124-23.

A season later, a far better equipped and vastly more confident Sun squad will take to the field, as the Rams pay their lone visit of 2013 to the Apple Bowl on Saturday night.

“It’s night and day from last year to this,” said Sun offensive tackle Devon Kozar. “We’re going into this game knowing we’re one of the teams to beat in this league and so are (the Rams). It’ll be a good test for both teams to see where we stand in the BCFC. We’re confident and have the right attitude, so I think this will be a barnburner.”

The Rams (4-0) are unbeaten, while the Sun—pending an appeal with the BCFC—are at 3-1.

With significant changes to the coaching staff and on-field personnel during the off-season, the Sun is a markedly different ball club than the one that took it on the chin three straight times from Langley.

Kozar said the entire 2013 squad comes to the field each day with a purpose.

“The biggest differences are the discipline we have here now and all the work everybody puts

Devon Kozar in off the field,” added Kozar, 22. “The guys are all on the same page and are trying to do the right things. It’s a great group to be part of and we’re having a lot of fun.”

In the Rams, the Sun faces an opponent with an explosive offensive attack. Led by quarterback Jahlani Gilbert-Knorren and receivers Malcolm Williams and Dan English, Langley is averaging better than 50 points per game.

On the other hand, Okanagan has the BCFC’s stingiest defense, having allowed just 47 points all season.

Sun head coach Shane Beatty is excited to see the two sides go head-tohead.

“We’re going to have to be at our best to beat these guys, they’re the best team in the league right now,” said Beatty.

“But nobody’s invincible and we feel we’re just as athletic as they are. I think it’ll be a very hard-fought game and I’d be surprised if it wasn’t really close in the end.

“Their offense is very good and our defence has been great, so that should be a really good matchup,” he added.

Kick off between the Sun and Rams on Saturday night is 7 p.m.

SUN AWAITS DECISION

It could be September before the Sun hears a decision on its appeal with the B.C. Football Conference.

The Sun is disputing a ruling by the BCFC earlier this month which overturned Okanagan’s 65-10 win over the Chilliwack Huskers on July 27.

The league disciplined the Sun for the use of an ineligible player, Curtis

Kelly, in the team’s season opener.

The Sun quickly appealed the decision which is now in the hands of an arbiter.

“We don’t want this to carry on too long, we’re hoping it gets resolved because it’s an ongoing distraction,” said Sun GM Jay Christensen. “We’re confident this will get overturned and we will

get the win back.”

Christensen said the Sun agrees with the BCFC in regards to the ruling itself, but not with the degree of the penalty.

The Sun is currently 3-1 on the season, but would return to 4-0 if the ruling is overturned.

Top pick hopes to impress Rockets brass, teammates W

Warren Henderson

STAFF REPORTER

Like any first round draft pick, the Kelowna Rockets have high expectations for centre Dillon Dube.

The same goes for the Cochrane, Alta., native who arrived at the WHL club’s rookie camp this week anxious to make a solid impression.

“I want to come here, play a couple of games and hopefully show them what I can do,” said Dube, 15. “I know it’s a big step, but this a great organization and I want to play

here. I’m going to work hard, try step my game up this year at Notre Dame and hopefully be back here ready to play as a 16-year-old.”

The 5-foot-9, 160-pound Dube was the Rocket’s first choice, 21st overall in last May’s WHL bantam draft. With the Notre Dame Hounds bantam team in Wilcox, Sask. last season, Dube had 24 goals and 50 points in 26 games.

This season, the skilled centre will play with Notre Dame’s midget AAA program.

While expectations of

Dube are high, head scout Lorne Frey insists there’s no rush for the young prospect to start displaying star-like qualities.

“We just want him to be what he is and be himself,” said Frey. “Every time you’re a number one pick and you’re coming into our camp, it’s a little stressful for them. They figure they have to reach a standard that everybody expects of them. I think he’ll just get better as camp goes on.”

Given time, growth and continued development, Frey expects Dube will be a top quality for-

i

ward in the WHL. “He’s an excellent skater, he’s a great puck handler and he thinks the game very well,” Frey said. “Size right now, he’s not overly big but we know he’s going to get bigger. But he has all the tools to be an exciting, dynamic young player.”

Rookie camp, featuring close to 180 players, runs until Sunday afternoon at Prospera Place.

Rockets main camp kicks off Monday with registration, followed by practises and scrimmages from Tuesday through Friday.

Wine Country Half Marathon inaugural race fast approaching The inaugural Kelowna Wine Country Half Marathon is all set for Saturday, Sept. 7.

Produced by Destination Races of Sonoma, Calif., the event is the first in the Wine Country Half Marathon Series to be held outside of the U.S. The 21.1-kilometer (13.1-mile) course begins at Vibrant Vines Winery, offering spectacular views of Okanagan Lake, downtown Kelowna and the surrounding mountains.

The course meanders past vineyards, farms, apple orchards, and onto the Mission Creek Greenway as it makes its way to the lakefront. The final four miles of the course take runners along Okanagan Lake, finishing at Waterfront Park for the post-race Wine and Music Festival.

A team competition and two-person relay are offered, with the relay transition occurring at Tantalus Winery.

Teams of six or more receive $10 off the entry fee (per person) and teams formed through a participating Independent Running Retailer of Canada (IRRC) receive extra benefits including one complimentary room at the Delta Grand Okanagan, and VIP passes. All participants receive a personalized race bib, technical race shirt, functional finishers medal, Riedel wine glass, and complimentary tastings at the Wine & Music Festival (must be 19 years and older). Additional wine glasses are available to purchase for friends and family on the registration page. For more event information and registration visit www.destinations.com/runbc.

Destination Races and Tourism Kelowna are offering a VIP weekend experience to one lucky registrant of the race.

They will receive two VIP passes on race day, lodging at the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort on race weekend, invitations to the Thursday welcome reception at Quail’s Gate and share a table with Kelowna runner Malindi Elmore at the race dinner on Friday night. The winner also receives a private winery tour and tasting, event merchandise and other amenities. They will be selected on Friday Aug. 30 from the registration database.

The Delta Grand Okanagan Resort and Conference Centre will host the Fresh Air Race Expo held on Friday, Sept. 6 10

a.m. to 6 pm. The event is free and open to the public. The expo features bib and shirt pickup, product sampling and demonstrations, an event merchandise store, and informational seminars. Rooms are still available at the Delta Grand and can be booked on the travel page of the event website.

Elite runners are invited to compete for prize money, large format wines, and Riedel trophies. As is customary with every event in the series, the top three finishers in each five-year age category win bottles of wine from local vintners.

“As a new event in

the Okanagan Valley, and our first in Canada, we’re working hard towards putting our best foot forward”, said Matt Dockstader, president of Destination Races. “This is not just a running race, it’s a lifestyle event full of activities all weekend designed to showcase the best Kelowna and the Okanagan Valley have to offer. We think participants will be very impressed with the experience.”

YMCA Strong Kids and The University of British Columbia Heat Cross Country Running are the primary volunteer providers and beneficiaries of the event.

MEMBERS of the Kelowna Rowing Club did Kelowna proud at the Nelson Sprints Regatta this

month by winning several races, as well as coming second and third in many events. Through the hard work of summer coach Dan Thompson and assistant summer coach Rachael Westgate, they motivated a team of 15 rowers (from 13 years old to late 50s) to make the four-hour journey, encouraging each and every rower to push themselves. Every crew member achieved a place on the podium, including several members of the team who had only completed a Learn to Row program this summer. This year the Kelowna Rowing Club is celebrating 100 years of existence.

Revisiting summer camp brings back childhood memories HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge ing others find their way back. Both are straight shooters and hard workers. Their handshake is gold and so are their hearts.

The differences are stark. Old Steve wasted 13 years as an alcoholic, rode the rails as a hobo, and once cut off another man’s ear for a bottle of wine.

Keith plays guitar and writes wonderful songs.

I guess they both understand hunger.

There are a few other changes at camp Owaissi—one of which Teresa and I just helped with.

We assisted Keith’s’ brother-in-law Larry to build a new wharf (with recycled wood of course).

I reminded myself twice the other day while constructing the dock why I prefer using a computer to a hammer.

My left thumb is now very purple and about half the size of my foot.

Life is still calm and peaceful at Camp Owaissi, though the water has been too choppy to fish or canoe much.

Tomorrow I hope to

try and hike up to where the old large cross is above the camp. (Yes it’s still there).

It sure is neat to be back here at the same camp where both you and I spent so many summers.

Between Anglican Church camps and Cub Scout camps, we spent a lot of our youth on the shoreline of this camp, or in the cabins. It’s kind of like a homecoming.

I think of Mom, who was Akela with the Sixth Kelowna Cub Pack for several years, and dedicated so much time with us and other cubs having a wonderful summer life here at Owaissi.

It’s hard to believe that it has been 50 years this month since I first set foot on this campground, nestled on the water not far from Okanagan Resort.

I was eight years of age the first time Mom and Dad sent me here for a week at the Church Camp and then three weeks later for a Cub camping trip. (Who really had the holiday?)

You had been here a couple years before me, Vic, and met Old Steve the summer before I did.

We had no idea at the time how much both Old Steve and Camp Owaissi would impact our lives.

I guess it was a camp when I was 10 that we encountered the skunk on the trail to the cross and it

Zokol Dental Centre

sprayed me.

That ruined my camp and I was sent home to “defume.”

The last few nights Keith and Larry have joined Tez and me at our campsite for some songs and yarns.

It’s allowed me to really see what a wonderful person and singer/ songwriter he is.

Keith just played an original song titled Invisible. It is a humbling song, like this whole beautiful campsite—a reminder that we are all just part of something so much bigger than ourselves.

It’s one of those rare songs that when first listening to it smacks of being in the presence of brilliance.

It is rare someone writes such a song without being a true conduit type connection.

Keith truly lives his convictions. He walks in a unique league in my world, along with sorts such as Curtis Tulman, Teunis Westbrook and Howie Meeker—people with more talent than you can shake a stick at and yet so humble.

Perhaps it is this peaceful place that helps produce such kindness and graciousness.

Overall, Vic, summer camp has been a whole lot of fun again and I’m really glad I came back.

Well, I’ve got to go to bed now. Tez has already crashed, knocked cold by the fresh air and the sound of Keith’s magic on the guitar.

I’ve sat here for another hour tapping away on this column while the moon dances across the water but now my eyes are closing.

I am going to sleep now, listening to the water lap up on the shore just like we always did as kids.

And just like it did 50 years ago, it still sounds peaceful, calming and somehow very soothing.

It feels real good here at summer camp.

It’s reassuring to know that some things never change— things like Camp OAC. Charlie Hodge is a Kelowna freelance writer.

T

o older brother, Vic. Hi Vic. Well, here I am again, back at camp Owaissi, for another summer camp.

Yup, another summer spent with really good friends, under the stars, on Okanagan Lake.

The only thing really missing here aside from you, Vic, is the camp caretaker Old Steve.

How blessed were we as brothers to share that man’s life? Wow, he truly was another pathfinder sent our way.

The old Anglican Church Camp, (known by us and thousands of other youngsters as Camp Owaissi) hasn’t changed a whole lot from the last time you were here.

There are a few new cabins, alright, and actually a really big, circular, covered stage near the water.

Some kind benefactor with a heart to match his talk actually funded it and it sure is neat.

Even Old Steve would have loved it. He probably would have referred to it as a “gal darn, knockkneed, bull-headed, pigeon-toed stupid kind of idea” and suggested it was a waste of natural space, however from a design and basic construction perspective he would have loved it.

Plus it is great for the camp kids—and Old Steve loved kids.

Robert, or ‘Old Steve’ (as we knew him), would also like the new shelter because it is made from recycled wood.

Having spent time in an orphanage as a youngster and skid row as an adult, Old Steve learned to hate anything wasted— food, materials or lives.

Actually the new camp Owaissi caretaker, Keith “Poppa” Thom and Old Steve (who ran things when we were here last), are a lot alike, and yet a whole bunch not.

Keith is one really cool guy who sure knows how to run a camp and work with people. He is much more diplomatic and people-centered as camp director and caretaker than Old Steve was.

Keith loves kids as well, and frowns upon waste. They both have great big kind hearts even though they sometimes try and pretend different, and they are strong caring Christians despite the perceptions that others may have or had.

Both Steve and Keith are true survivors. Both have committed much of their lives to help-

Gwen Steele Late blooming plants with good foliage: The gardens include three tall sedums blooming in August and September.

Plants are about 18 inches high and have excellent foliage throughout the season. Best known, sedum ‘Autumn Joy’ looks like a small bluegreen shrub with broccoli-like buds mid summer.

The pink flowers open in August and change to red then rust through fall.

Plants have great winter structure as well.

Sedum ‘Matrona’ is similar with burgundy-edged blue leaves and burgundy stems.

Sedum ‘Postman’s Pride’ has the darkest burgundy foliage, an excellent contrast to silver leaves.

Ornamental grasses: Their foliage provides varying shades of blue and green to show off colourful blooms and also

Blue oat grass, and blue fescue bloom in June and provide year round blue foliage.

More June bloomers, bronze tufted hair grass and blue gramma grass have attractive ‘flowers’ maturing to beautiful seed heads.

Taller ‘Heavy Metal’ switch grass blooms mid-August and provides movement with even the slightest breeze.

Most ornamental grasses provide winter interest and only require maintenance in spring when they are cut to just above the ground.

(Warning: Be sure to choose clump forming grasses, not spreaders).

Repeat blooming perennials: Lavender, yarrows, and catnip will bloom again at the end of summer if dead-headed after their first flowering.

Spring blooming plants with good foliage: Shrubs berberis ‘Cherry Bomb’ and ‘Diabolo’ ninebark have outstanding burgundy foliage. Ever-

green Iberis ‘Little Gem’ is a miniature mounding shrub. ‘Dusseldorf Pride’ thrift forms an evergreen pincushion.

Long blooming annual fillers: Empty spaces in a new garden can be filled with easycare long blooming annuals such as petunias.

AN OIL PIT sits on the grounds at the Page Museum at the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, California. Page Museum officials are worried about a planned expansion by the LACMA interfering with the science conducted in the tar pits.

Deborah Vankin

CONTRIBUTOR

The design for the central building in a reimagined Los Angeles County Museum of Art was inspired by the adjacent La Brea tar pits. Seen from above, the structure’s flowing lines resemble a splatter of tar.

But scientists doing the work of recovering fossils from the oozing asphalt aren’t sure they like Swiss architect Peter Zumthor’s homage. They fear the massive construction required to replace four of LACMA’s existing buildings with Zumthor’s structure could upset the science at the tar pits, an active paleontological research site with a rich deposit of Pleistocene-era fossils that draws visitors from around the world.

John Harris, chief curator of the Natural History Museum’s Page Museum, adjacent to LACMA, says Zumthor’s plan so far doesn’t address how to protect the tar pits.

Although groundbreaking would be years off, plans and models for

the overhaul are already on display at LACMA’s Resnick Pavilion.

“If I understand correctly, this would all be under an overhang,” Harris says, gesturing toward the four tar pits closest to the museum’s 1960s-era Hammer building. “It would block off the light, the rain, and that affects the vegetation.”

“The example of how current vegetation and small animals get trapped (in tar) is how we demonstrate to people how this incredible wealth of fossils got here in the first place,” he adds. “It would go from something that’s totally natural to something artificial.”

Jane Pisano, director of the Natural History

Museum, has questions about the Zumthor building’s effect on a different area of the tar pits.

The models show that the larger, so-called lake pit to the east of the museum would be shadowed by the cantilevered roof—”subsuming it under LACMA,” says Pisano, who has been unable to get a map that

JOHN HARRIS, Ph.D., chief curator of the Page Museum at the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, California, stands near a large water and crude pit.

would show a true overlay of the building on the current site. “It would completely change your perspective on the lake pit—and that’s an iconic symbol of the tar pits.”

LACMA director Michael Govan says the models in the exhibition are not unlike sketches, far from final designs.

“Even I know it cantilevers too far,” Govan says of the overhangs.

“But all of that would get worked out over the next five years. There’s no intention to impinge on the tar pits in a negative way.

The building is emerging as a sort of celebration of the tar pits; it’s meant to magnify the extraordinary natural feature of the site.”

The La Brea tar pits and the Page Museum, which displays more than 1 million Ice Age fossils, have a vaunted reputation among natural historians. “I don’t think there’s a parallel to it anywhere in the world in terms of (fossil) abundance,” says Kirk Johnson, director of the Smithsonian’s National See La Brea A26

Construction endangers fossils La Brea from A25 Museum of Natural History in Washington.

In 1986, construction of LACMA’s Japanese Pavilion inadvertently unearthed invertebrate fossils.

In 2006, when the

museum built an underground parking garage, 16 fossil deposits were found—bones of bison, horses, camels, saber-toothed cats and a baby mastodon, among others, as well as the museum’s famed mammoth skeleton, nicknamed Zed.

That discovery was fortuitous for the Page.

The fossils, embedded in giant chunks of earth, were collected into 23 huge crates—what’s now called “Project 23”— and are the main focus of science being done at the Page. The excava-

The Page, he points out, is working closely with L.A. County’s Metropolitan Transit Au-

the underground landscape—not only gas conditions and earth pressure, but the potential for fossil discovery—says Scott McConnell, director of MTA construction management on the new subway.

“The MTA has plans, several years in the making, about mitigating the fossils they’re almost bound to encounter,” says Harris, the Page curator.

“We don’t have enough detailed information right now about the Zumthor project, and that’s concerning.”

Govan must still raise $650 million for the building and its environs, and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors must approve the plan.

Architectural preservationists may also weigh in about demolishing the current LACMA buildings.

“There are literally thousands of technical issues to be worked out with the Page and on LACMA’s side as well,” Govan says. “But I can’t imagine it would be anything other than a good conversation and that we’d work collaboratively.”

Frank Gehry, who encountered multiple hurdles before his Walt Disney Concert Hall was built, knows how fraught things can get when trying to construct ambitious architecture.

“They’ll go through a bath of fire before it’s done; it’s the reality of building things today,” Gehry says. “But if the architecture is as good as we hope and expect it to be, and if it fits perfectly, as it can, into the culture of the museum and its collections, then it’s going to be fantastic.”

Third-gen Mazda3 stars in Hollywood Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR

JIM ROBINSON/CONTRIBUTOR

THE MAZDA3 sedan and hatchback (shown) looks noticeably different with its new Kodo exterior design language and a remarkable drag coefficient as low as 0.255 with self-closing radiator shutter.

HOLLYWOOD, CA: The 2014 Mazda3 is being called a game changer, which is exactly what the brand needs.

When it bowed 10 years ago, the Mazda3 was an immediate hit.

With one of the best-looking shapes in the segment and signature “spirit of a sportscar” ride and handling, Canadians quickly sent Mazda from the middle of the compact pack to the top, threatening Honda Civic’s lock on Number One. With the second generation, success made Mazda fearful of tampering with a winner, so they went conservative but it still sold well.

In fact, Canadians have bought more than 430,000 Mazda3s in the

past decade. It also accounts for 50 per cent of all Mazdas sold worldwide.

But in the last two years, Mazda3 slipped from perennial Number Two to fourth spot behind Elantra and Corolla respectively.

So for the third generation, Mazda is being aggressive again, starting with the styling.

The 2014 adopts Mazda’s new Kodo design language. Seen from the side, the body looks like it is being thrust forward, but with the steeply raked windshield, it appears laid back at the same time.

It is, in my opinion, the most aero-looking compact car on the market, which is evidenced by a drag co-efficient as

MOTORING

Light and ‘fuel frugal’ Mazda from B1 low as 0.255 (with available automatic radiator shutters), which markedly outdoes a Ferrari Italia (0.330).

Along with being the lightest car in the segment and the most aerodynamic, it is also one of the most fuel frugal and that is all part of what Mazda calls its Skyactiv design philosophy.

It is a suite of lighter platforms/engines/transmissions, lean-burn engineering, Formula One inspired engine architecture and energy saving/ storing technology.

An example of the latter is i-Eloop — the

world’s first capacitor-based brake energy regeneration system. It takes unused energy and converts it to electricity that is stored in the capacitor. It does not make electricity, but can be used to supplement the battery/ lighting/air conditioning which means less fuel used to top up the battery.

Believe it or not, the capacitor is made with carbon from burned coconut shells and aluminum foil and can store enough “free” additional motive power to lower fuel consumption by five per cent in the real world.

There are two Skyactiv engines starting with a 2.0-litre inline four-cylin-

der with 155 hp and 150 lb/ft of torque and a 2.5-litre inline four-cylinder with 184 hp and 185 lb/ft of torque. The 2.5-litre is also available with the i-Eloop electric assist.

The 2.0-litre is found on the base GX and midrange GS with a standard six-speed manual and optional six-speed automatic transmission. Fuel numbers are 6.8/4.8L/100 km city/highway for the manual and 6.7/4.8L/00 km for the automatic.

The 2.5-litre only comes with the automatic and fuel usage is rated at 7.2/5.0L/100 km and that improves to 6.8/4.9L/100 km when fitted with

THE INTERIOR of the 2014 Mazda3 has an imaginary line running down along the right of the steering wheel separating the cabin into those controls the driver needs to drive on the left and those needed for infotainment/climate on the right.

THE old days of charcoal black Maz-

da3 interiors are gone. These (left) are the very supportive front seats on the GT trim level. Human Machine Interface (HMI) rotary knob (above) on the centre console for audio and navigation settings the driver can select while keeping his/her eyes on the road.

i-Eloop.

In typical Mazda fashion there are three trim levels with the GX and GS topped by GT offered in both sedan and fivedoor hatch. At the preview in California no prices were available but they will be announced by the time the 2014 goes on sale in September.

When it does arrive, the Mazda3 will offer technology that was unheard of in a compact car only a decade ago.

These will include such advances in safety such as i-Activsense that uses sensing devices such as milliwave radars and cameras to support the driver in recogniz-

ing hazards, reducing the possibility of collisions and minimizing damage should accidents occur.

Other available new safety technologies include a Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW), Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) and Smart City Brake Support (SCBS).

But if you think the exterior is exciting, wait until you get inside.

It starts where the driver sits. The instrument panel is conceptually divided down the middle at the right hand side of the steering wheel.

The left contains the

main instrumentation or what the driver needs to operate the car. On the right is what the driver needs for climate/connectivity. Mazda sees this as taking secondary distraction away from the driver.

Also on the left of the centre console is a very Audi-like Human Machine Interface (HMI) that can, if you own a smart phone, give you just about any kind of information you will ever need.

The cars we drove in California did not have the system hooked up, so I can’t tell you yet how well it works.

But it let me concentrate on how it drives.

I have a Mazda3 at

home and the steering is already great but the new one takes that up another big notch starting with suspension geometry canted forward seven-degrees like the MX-5 Miata for fast response. The electric power steering was massively reworked and, in my opinion, could be the most communicative on the market in the segment.

The 2.0-litre with super-slick manual is fun to drive, a bit like a Miata with a roof and back seat.

As a commuter car, it’s hard to beat.

The 2.5-litre was different. With the i-Eloop See Mazda B6

Although BMW Motorrad (their motorcycle division) has historically been associated with boxer-twin reliability and a legendary lineup of adventure bikes, they have branched out broadly with new products.

The S1000RR and HP4 bikes are giving Japanese supersports a run for their money while K1600 models are rivaling the Honda Gold Wing that previously dominated the full-size touring class.

And now it’s scooters.

“CONQUER the city. Or get away from it” as BMW puts it. The 2013 BMW C650GT is one of two new siblings in the BMW Motorrad lineup. the C600 Sport and the C650GT. Both share an identical underbody and chassis, the same suspension and enough components from the motorcycle parts bin—upside-down 40 mm forks, ABS disc braking, 15-inch alloy wheels—to morph these maxi-scooters into potent performers.

And don’t let the naming throw you off.

In BMW style, it is only vaguely indicative of displacement. Both models also share the same fuel-injected 647 cc engine. But the two flavours of scooter have been designed for different audiences.

The C600 Sport had been aimed at riders with a real sporting jones. It is slimmer, starker and lighter (by 12 kg) with less bodywork. It has a manu-

ally adjustable windscreen and lower handlebars that combine with a higher seat (810 mm), creating a more aggressive riding position, along with less passenger accommodation (rear pegs and a smaller pillion).

The C650GT tested here, places greater emphasis on comfort and touring capability.

The tubular steel bridge frame architecture makes this more of a step-over scooter than a step-through but, once you’re on, the seating is comfy with a small backrest hump for the rider and a wide cushion and floorboards for the passenger.

Actually, it’s so roomy I couldn’t feel my wife sitting behind me.

mobility and highway competence in a sophisticated package, blended with passenger comfort design and technologies, gutsy performance and real touring utility. rpm redline. Top speed is 175 km/h, although the other Rob confided that he managed to peg the speedo to the 180 km/h pin, tucked behind the windshield on a downhill highway run during the European launch program.

My goals were somewhat less ambitious and I was happy as the C650GT squirted away with enough power to almost belie its substantial 261 kg curb weight.

All that weight has been designed down low however, and it doesn’t take long for that low centre of gravity to show itself in nimble and responsive handling.

Power is transferred smoothly through a CVT transmission.

My combined mix of riding covered country roads, highway runs, a short two-up trek and some urban chores.

After 270 km, the fuel light came on, indicating that I was into the fourlitre reserve. I tanked up with 12.4 litres (premium, ouch) for a combined fuel economy of 4.6L/100km.

That would translate into an easy 350 km range on the 16-litre tank, especially with a little less emphasis on throttle-twisting enjoyment.

Plenty of get-andgo requires some slowdown-and-stop, and the C650GT is fitted with dual 270 mm disc brakes with double-piston floating calipers up front and a single 270 mm disc with double-piston caliper at the rear. Dual-channel ABS comes standard on both models. A separate rear caliper parking brake automatically engages when the side stand is kicked down.

Bumping up touring comfort, the C650GT offers more protective paneling than the C600 Sport model. An electric-powered windshield is button operated from the left grip.

I’m a little too tall for this windshield, so I kept it lowered, aiming the slipstream at my neck rather than having it buffet my helmet. But average-sized

C600 Sport offer two flavours of urban mobility BMW from B8 riders will find ample range of adjustment. Two moveable wind deflectors below the windscreen also offer some varying degrees of airflow and weather protection.

There are two glove boxes with surprisingly flimsy doors. The left side box locks when the ignition is turned off. The main storage is under the seat where 60 litres swallows two full-face helmets (if you position them just so) and/or a variety of items. It also comes with a LED interior light and accessory 12V power point.

The cockpit features an instrument cluster with analogue speedo in centre, and bar graphics for the fuel gauge to the left, tach to the right.

Also included are a clock and onboard computer readouts monitoring exterior temperature, fuel consumption, oil level, average speed and date. My optioned-up tester showed grip-heater levels and a tire pressure control indicator as well.

At night, this gauge package is illuminated in “easy-to-read orange”.

Yeah, well, it needs a little multi-coloured jazzing up, if you ask me.

But those are minor nitpicks. The other Rob was right. I did like the C650GT. In fact, I love all kinds of motorcycles but every time I drive a scooter, I’m struck by how the get-onand-go riding ease, maneuverability and automatic operation, makes the traditional motorcycle dance of hands and feet shifting and braking seem like an some outdated ritual of dated yestertech operation.

And, although buyers can find cheaper, similarly powered motorcycles instead, the BMW C650GT ($10,999) is competitively priced compared to other scooter contenders in

roughly the same class— the Suzuki Burgman 650 Exec ABS ($11,099) and the Yamaha TMAX ($10,499).

The C650GT is not BMW’s last word on future of scooters. Within a year or so, they will be unveiling a C Evolution electric scooter that, at this point, boasts a 35 kwH engine, 100 km range, 3 hour charge time and 120 km/h top speed.

But, for now, the C650GT touring maxi-scooter, and its C600 Sport sibling, combine to offer two flavours of urban mobility, with practical levels of utility and passenger comforts, along with long haul highway touring competence.

BMW C650GT HIGHLINE

Engine: 647 cc two-cylinder, four-stroke, eight-valve, liquid cooled engine (60 hp, 49 lb/ft) Fuel Economy: As tested 4.6L/100km (comb) Transmission: CVT with chain drive Wheelbase: 1591 mm Suspension: Front upside-down 40 mm fork (115 mm travel); Rear single-sided swing arm (115 mm travel) Brakes: Front tworotor disc brake, diameter 270 mm, two-piston floating caliper; Rear single disc brake, diameter 270 mm, two-piston floating caliper Tires: Front 120/70ZR15; Rear 160/60ZR15 Seat Height: 795 mm Curb Weight: 249 kg Fuel Capacity: 16 litres Colours: Sapphire black metallic, Platinum bronze metallic, Vermilion red metallic Price: $10,990; As tested $11,660 includes Highline Package with heated grips, heated seats and tire pressure monitor ($670).

REESOR, BRIAN

August 12, 1922 – August 15, 2013 Our beloved father, brother, grandfather, uncle and friend, Brian Reesor, passed away peacefully on August 15th at the age of 91. He was predeceased by his wife Margaret in 2012, and is survived by their two children, Kathy and David, sisters Shirl and Joyce, and grandchildren Lisa, Tarah, Colin, Brandi and Brianne.

This man of science saw the world through a kaleidoscope of wonderment and curiosity.

How does that work? What causes that? Why does that happen? Yet this humble man was always eager to hear other opinions. He was interested in other people, and avoided talking about himself despite his intellect and many accomplishments. Brian was an award-winning singer as a young man and had a passion, throughout his life, for hunting and fishing. As a result of his enquiring mind, quick wit and a lively sense of humour, Brian attracted a wide circle of close friends over the years, with whom he, and his beloved wife, Marg, traveled, played games and laughed. Brian was easy-going, fun and interesting to be around, a good conversationalist and always maintained a positive attitude through adversity. He liked his scotch cold and his relationships warm. His smile lit up the room and the hearts of those around him. A rich, interesting and rewarding life was his. Brian was the most compassionate, non-judgmental person. Never did he express a mean or bitter comment. He was, indeed, a gentle man and a gentleman. Sadness fills our hearts, and although that will fade somewhat with time, the wonderful memories of him that we have will last forever.

Goodbye and thanks for everything. We will all miss you.

Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com 250-860-7077.

Home reno financing options Protect your investment D

on’t want to leave the neighbourhood or have the hassle of selling, re-buying, packing and moving?

Or, does your home need to be more environmentally friendly to save on energy costs?

Then it’s time to renovate. Canadians spend almost 30 billion dollars on renovating their homes.

There are many different reasons to renovate a home and there are also a number of different ways to finance your renovation.

So, it’s time to explore your options.

Your own resources: For smaller renovation projects, you may consider self-funding material costs, especially if you plan to do the work yourself.

Credit card: This is only an option if you know the funds will be there to pay it off in full before interest charges.

Big box store “Do Not Pay” options back-

date interest at 28+ per cent if not paid in full by the due date.

Use caution with this choice.

Personal loan: With a personal loan, you pay regular payments of principal and interest for a set period, typically one to five years.

The interest rate on a personal loan is typically less than that of a credit card.

The down side is once you pay off your loan you will have to re-apply to borrow any new funds.

Personal line of credit: This is a popular choice for ongoing or long term renovations since it lets you access your funds at any time.

A line of credit offers lower interest rates than credit cards and charges interest only on funds used in each month.

And, as you pay off your balance, you can access remaining funds up to the line of credit’s limit, without re-applying.

Secured lines of credit and home equity loans: These options offer all the advantages of regular lines of credit or loans but are secured by your home’s equity.

They can be very economical, since they offer preferred interest rates, however initial set-up costs including legal and appraisal fees may apply.

Lines of credit and home equity loans are usually limited to 80 per cent of your home’s value.

Mortgage refinancing: When funding major renovations, refinancing your mortgage lets you spread repayment over a long period at mortgage interest rates which are usually much lower than credit card or personal loan rates.

This type of financing can allow you to borrow up to 80 percent of your home’s appraised value.

And with today’s interest rates, such as 3.29 per cent fixed for four years,

your new payments could be less or the same as they are now.

Up to 85per cent of your home’s equity can also be provided when insured by CMHC Mortgage Loan Insurance.

Important fact: Remember to keep in mind to set aside 10 per cent to 15 per cent in your budget for cost overruns.

Buying a new home is likely the biggest financial investment you will ever make, and it’s understandable that you want to get it right.

One of the biggest benefits of choosing to buy a newly built home is that it comes with a seven year warranty from your builder that is backed

by Tarion Warranty Corporation. Make sure you understand the rights and responsibilities of your warranty, says Tarion, with these five tips: Review your purchase agreement with a lawyer.

Review your ‘agreement of purchase and sale with a real estate lawyer before signing to ensure you understand exactly what is included in the price of the home.

If you are buying a condo, review the disclosure statement to understand what items are part of your unit and what are considered common elements.

Make sure anything

that is agreed to verbally by your sales representative is reflected in writing.

Attend the pre-delivery inspection.

Your builder will schedule a pre-delivery inspection, or PDI, on or before the day you take possession. Make the most of this opportunity by learning about how to operate your home’s systems and properly care for your new home. List anything on the PDI form that may be damaged, incomplete, missing, or not working properly. Make sure that the form is complete, as it will serve as an official record of the condition of your home before you moved in.

Complete your forms and submit them on time.

If you need to make a warranty claim to Tarion, keep in mind that there are strict deadlines for submitting your warranty forms.

The best way to stay on top of those deadlines is by registering for My-

Home, an online service for homeowners operated

by Tarion. It will remind you of your warranty periods and allows you to submit your forms online.

Allow your builder access for repairs.

Working with your builder to complete unfinished work and repairs is critical. Be sure to give your builder and their tradespeople access to your home during normal business hours, at a time mutually agreed upon in advance. Denying access will jeopardize your warranty rights.

Maintain your home.

Attentive maintenance not only ensures that your property remains in good condition and working order, it preserves your warranty coverage too.

For example, controlling moisture levels throughout your home is a prerequisite for certain warranty claims.

Making a ‘smart’ choice

Elkridge, a Smart Community in West Kelowna, has announced a limited-time promotion, which kicks off this Saturday (Aug. 24) and runs from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. with what it is calling it’s “Smart event.”

The event will be filling the four-car garage of one of their the new homes with as many Smart Cars as possible and the people who guess the right number will get their name in a lottery to win a Smart prize.

As well, the first fourbuyers of a home at Elkridge will be given a Smart Car. Along with the event, Elkridge has restructured its pricing which enables it to offer single-family homes for prices that are far below the average residential price in the Okanagan.

Their homes range

from $349,900.00 for a three-bedroom, 1,520-square-foot home to $446,900.00 for a 2,668-square-foot home with a finished walk-out basement.

And there are also extra savings when you purchase a home at Elkridge because you do not pay GST or the property transfer tax.

What also sets Elkridge apart is the buyer has the option of a home with a finished basement, an unfinished basement, a crawl space or no basement at all, thus offering different levels of pricing suited to what the buyer can afford.

Each fully loaded home comes with granite kitchen counter tops, all stainless steel appliances, tiled kitchen back splash, finished garage with remote control door opener, air conditioning, fully

landscaped and fenced front and back yard with in ground sprinkler system.

The en-suite features glass shower doors and chrome or brushed nickel fixtures.

The main floor ceilings are nine feet and the large windows are rated as low-E. The strata fees are also also very low, $84 per month, which takes care of front yard maintenance, garbage and snow removal.

The West Kelowna-area location of Elkridge is ideal for families as it is within walking distance to schools and other amenities, such as the WalMart Super Store, Home Depot, Canadian Tire, Canadian Super Store and the popular Two Eagles Golf Course.

Within a five-mile radius there are movie the-

Back to school does have an effect on the real estate market

A

s the summer months wined down families are getting geared up for back to school and the fall months ahead.

As a home buyer with children there is great concern of where your children will go to school and how close their future home will be situated within their ideal school district.

A survey was recently conducted stating that a

REAL ESTATE RUNDOWN

Ceiwen Morgan majority of home buyers said that school boundaries will have an impact on where they purchase and that the average home buyer with children will

be willing to pay 1 per cent to 10 per cent above budget to live within their preferred school boundaries.

It has been said that these buyers are especially willing to give up access to shopping and nearby parks and trails, among other amenities, to reside within the school-district boundaries of their choice.

Statistics show that 23.59 per cent would pay

1-5 per cent above budget, 20.70 per cent would pay 6-10 per cent above budget, and 8.98 per cent would pay 11-20 per cent above budget.

However there are still a remaining 40.33 per cent of home buyers that would not go above their budget to be within certain school boundaries.

In recent history the real estate market tends to slow down in September as families are rushing

around to get their children back into the school routine.

The average home buyer with children, tend to have their minds preoccupied and distracted away from their home hunting search.

However this slow down that the Central Okanagan might feel does not constitute as a cool down.

As families get back into their routines home

buyers will eventually continue their search later in the fall.

Home buyers that did not purchase during the summer months will tend to learn towards purchasing before the snow fly’s, so sellers do not be alarmed if your showing on your home tend to slow down and activity becomes quiet.

Activity will pick again for sellers, especially as inventory will start

to deplete as the weather cools.

As always, I do recommend that as a buyer or seller that you consult with your experienced and professional realtor for any real estate advice and market trend updates.

Home-sites starting at $159,900 and lake view lots from $219,500.
