CLOSE-UP

The art of pole dancing Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

W

hen 28-yearold mother of three Erin Smith threw her friend Lexi Ferrie a 24th birthday party, she had no idea she was choosing a career.

The party included a pole dancer and lessons for the entire crew.

“We had a blast when we were there. It was just fun; it was different.

There’s pictures of me strewn out on the floor exhausted after, like, half an hour,” said Smith.

Just six months after having a Caesarean section to deliver her twins— Dominic and Danica, now aged six—she was starting lessons.

On the eve of opening her own studio, in partnership with several marshal arts businesses, she is now trying to break into the artistic community.

“I think anything that you feel passionate about is an art to you. So this is my passion. This is my art and I feel like an artist when I’m doing it. I feel like I’m presenting my art to somebody,” she said.

Watching her students feel that same creativity and happiness flowing through their bodies only strengthens her conviction.

“To see them develop and produce these beautiful images and see them get the joy in it, I think that’s what makes it an art

Erin Smith to me,” she said.

As such, she became an associate member of Donna Lee’s collective studio space in the Rotary Centre for the Arts, called My Studio.

With more prominent members like Jonn Einerssen, seascape painter, stone carver Vance Theoret and glass artist Fay Wolfenden, it’s a place where everyone is welcome, particularly those whose passions might sit on the fringe.

“I just think anything can be brought to an artistic level,” said Lee. “Because I’m an artist and I’ve seen all the life models, I look at their bodies, how they move and all of their muscles and I just think that’s a real art.”

Whether the Lake Country Art Walk judges will think so is still up for debate.

While signing contracts for her new studio last week, Smith was also preparing to show the Art Walk jury her work to try and secure a spot in the

show, alongside fellow My Studio artists.

It was a significant challenge.

While Smith has taught for three years and plans to start staging shows for her students, she hasn’t really performed in front of others, beyond having new faces watch her when she goes out of country to train.

“For some reason, Canada is a bit behind in its acceptance of pole dance,” she said.

“In Europe and the U.S., it’s pretty mainstream. But I have to fly to learn new tricks.”

‘‘

I LOOK AT THEIR BODIES, HOW THEY MOVE AND ALL OF THEIR MUSCLES AND I JUST THINK THAT’S A REAL ART.” Donna Lee

She and Ferrie, who has become her best student, were both in Florida this year to learn.

The International Pole Dance Fitness Association hosts competitions.

Her first trip was to Los Angeles where she trained with Australian Felix Cane, Miss Pole Dance World 2009 and 2010, and South Africa’s Jenyne Butterfly, Miss

Pole Dance in the US Pole Dance and Fitness Competition in 2009.

“Education is key.

Showing people what we do and that we’re not strippers—not to discredit those lovely ladies as they do an incredible things for people—but ours is our art and we just need people to see that and for them to give it credibility,” said Smith.

Earlier this month she brought in the Canadian champion, Veronica Solimano who works out of Tantra Fitness in Vancouver.

While there is a move afoot to secure a spot for pole dancing in the Olympics, there is no doubt the sultry, sexy side of pole dancing is still part of the art form.

“Everyone comes to pole dance for something a little bit different and for some people it is the sensual side of it,” said Smith.

“So that flow and the movement in and out of transitions and spins and inverts and holds, that has to be taught too and learning how to flow in and out of transitions, in and out of moves is an art in itself.

It’s slow and it’s sensual and it’s artful.”

Trick classes are more about strength building and getting cool photos of one’s self trying out moves.

Two people can work on the pole doing doubles tricks with one person supporting the other.

“I can hold onto her hands and I can go around the pole,” said Smith, whose work in Florida with Ferrie focused on the dual performer aspect of the dance.

Currently teaching out of the RCA, Smith says the artistic community in the Okanagan has been incredibly supportive of her work.

She has had the odd bad reaction when out doing promotions—people who walk away or turn up

their nose—by and large, most respond to the adventurous, acrobatic lilt to the work.

Spinning on her pole outside the RCA last week, a couple of people

smiled and the odd one stopped to watch as she flipped through tricks on the outdoor stage.

Comedian Chris Rock may joke “if you can keep your son off the pipe and your daughter off the pole, you’re ahead of the game,” but it would seem, for many, pole dancing doesn’t raise an eyebrow anymore.

“I will respect my body” is the first commandment on the list of Aerial Amy’s 10 Commandments of a Pole Student, which Smith gives to all of her students.

Commandment number 10 states: “I will take steps to trim, manicure, landscape, shave or wax”—with a smiley-face emoticon following the line.

Erin Smith’s new studio will open in the former iQuest location beside Baxter’s pub, off Spall Road this fall.

If she secures a space among the visual artists, photographers, fabric artists and sculptors at the Lake Country Art Walk Sept. 7-8 in the George Elliott Secondary School corridor, she will be performing on a portable pole.

The theme of this year’s Art Walk, “It’s About Time,” seems fitting to bring pole dance onto the artistic stage in the Okanagan. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @jaswrites

TIMELESS QUALITY & COMFORT

Growth areas create challenges for school district Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Like the thousands of local students heading back to school next week, the Central Okanagan School District will also begin the new school year attempting to solve a few problems.

School District 23 superintendent Hugh Gloster said overall enrolment so far is very similar to last year’s numbers of 22,000 students, but three growing neighbourhoods are creating challenges.

In Lake Country, significant growth in areas that feed into Davidson Road Elementary—such as The Lakes development—has produced more children than the school can accommodate.

“We’ve got an interim plan for this upcoming year to transport overflow students over to Peter Greer (Elementary).

We’re in the process of hiring an additional teacher at that school to help manage that overflow population,” said Gloster.

The Upper Mission is another pocket of the region that has forced School District 23 to do some juggling in order to accommodate students.

“Chute Lake Elementary is well overfull and we’re transporting 50plus students down the hill to Anne McClymont Elementary. Both Anne McClymont and Dorothea Walker are filling up; we’re having to open more space, hire another teacher and so forth.”

Gloster added there

CUPE talks resume

are medium- and longterm plans to deal with the situations in Lake Country and the Upper Mission, including moving the Grade 7 students to modular classroom locations—at Okanagan Mission Secondary and George Elliott Secondary—and eventually building new middle schools in those regions.

The third area of difficulty for the school district is the overcrowded region feeding Shannon Lake Elementary; however, that problem should be solved when Mar Jok Elementary School opens in Rose Valley in September 2014.

“We’ve recognized (the growth areas) for some time now, so we’ve been able to put plans in place.”

Another task for the school district has been keeping up with quickly-evolving technology and utilizing it to help students learn.

“We’re definitely moving toward students and staff being able to connect wirelessly within our schools and being able to access the Internet to do research using their own devices.

“Obviously we have to have policy around that… we’ve been, behind the scenes, developing infrastructure to be able to accommodate that.”

A final hurdle is the uncertainty surrounding the negotiations between the provincial government and the unions that represent school support staff, which resume next Wed-

The concert took place one day after the 30th anniversary of the group first playing together in public in Kelowna in 1983. The new CD is titled High Road,the same name as the Glenmore street where original band members Tom and Chris Hooper lived as teens when they formed Grapes Of Wrath with friend Kevin Kane. Prior to Wednesday’s concert, Mayor Walter Gray, a neighbour of the Hoopers back in 1983, presented them and Kane with a framed letter from the city commemorating the band’s performance.

ter Peter Fassbender said Wednesday he is hopeful that a settlement with clerical staff, custodians, bus drivers and other support staff can be achieved without picket lines disrupting classes.

Talks broke off in August and are set to resume for three days starting Sept. 4.

The Canadian Union of Public Employees, representing most of the

workers, says they haven’t had a raise in four years.

The latest contract expired in June 2012 after a two-year wage freeze was imposed across the B.C. public service.

Fassbender wouldn’t comment directly on talks, except to say that school districts are working to set up “savings accounts” in their operations to fund wage increases within existing district

budgets.

The government’s “cooperative gains” mandate requires all raises to be funded by internal savings such as shared administrative functions.

CUPE is seeking raises of two per cent per year.

“Our members will take full-scale job action if the government doesn’t show a commitment to bargaining,” CUPE representative Colin Paw-

son said in a statement on the weekend, as the union prepared to start an advertising campaign to attract public support.

Fassbender said funding for public education is at record levels despite falling enrolment.

While some urban districts are growing, the education ministry forecasts that there will be 526,000 full-time students this year, down 9,000 from the last school year.

The total budget remains the same, $4.7 billion, of which about 80 per cent pays wages of teachers, support staff and administrators.

Soon after being appointed minister by Premier Christy Clark, Fassbender appointed a provincial negotiator to take over province-wide issues from the bargaining agent for school districts.

Negotiator Peter Cameron told union leaders in mid-August he would not return to talks until boards have savings plans in place. Fassbender said Wednesday that “a large majority are well underway, and many are in place” so talks can resume.

Writer says FortisBC execs get rich pay scale

To the editor: FortisBC locked out its workers but it’s the managers who should be locked out.

The financial difference between the union and the company in the failed negotiations is $300,000. That may sound like a lot but that’s for a small increase in wages for over 225 employees. Compare that to just one FortisBC CEO who makes $1.4 million, far more than the $531,000 BC Hydro’s CEO makes.

FortisBC’s boss makes almost three times as much as BC Hydro’s, yet FortisBC is a fraction of BC Hydro’s size.

FortisBC (gas & electric) only has 2,200 employees, 1.1 million customers, and a net revenue of $187 million, whereas BC Hydro has more than 6,100 employees, 1.9 million customers, and $558 million in net income.

On top of being a much smaller company, FortisBC

Calloway seemed to have no ‘nasty bone in his body’

L

ike many Kelowna residents, not to mention thousands of other Canadian radio listeners, I was devastated to learn of the death of dear friend Kim Calloway.

I was so fortunate to have become good friends with the man who many viewed as a radio legend and icon in Canada. While Kim cut his radio teeth in Ontario (but we forgive him for that) his local persona was enhanced by his years of service with local radio.

Kim and I had casually known each other for many years as ‘media personalities’ (whatever that is supposed to mean) and crossed paths on various charitable or social events; however, the real friendship came out of an

HODGE evening that he and I and PODGE our two lovely partners

(Arlene and Teresa) suffered through together.

A couple of New Year’s Eve events ago singer Deb Stone was Charlie asked to host a karaoke Hodge contest during the night in the Community Theatre’s Black Box. That setting has a sense of irony now.

Begrudgingly, but out of love and ‘good gosh—I owe you girl’ I agreed to be one of three judges for the event. By doing so I had broken a vow of years before when I promised myself I would never, ‘forever,’ judge a karaoke event again. Well, as I wrote in a song years before, “forever is a long time until it ends,” and Deb Stone can be very persuasive. As it turned out Kim was there

in all his glory and the third judge wisely never showed up.

It was horrid. Without question the worst night of attempted singing I had ever witnessed. It was, in fact, painful.

In true class, though, Kim managed to keep smiling on the outside throughout the night and find something positive to say about most contestants. During the course of the evening, however, Kim and I shared a number of hilarious comments quietly amongst ourselves, and quietly suffered together. It was a bonding, of sorts—much like other men share during times of duress.

Following that night Kim and I shared a number of coffees, gatherings, and special events together and soon discovered our love for song writing.

He loved to play folk and blues, another passion we shared. The only difference was that Kim could actually play gui-

tar and sing.

With media backgrounds we also shared a slightly bent sense of humour H together. We were constantly chuckling about something. p Ironically, I invited Kim to help co- h host my annual Night of the Arts con- a cert the past two years, grooming him l to take over if and when my own fail- w ing health limited my ability to do so. O I never expected the scenario to unfold t as it has. h Like many, the news of his death knocked me to my knees.

Kelowna and area athletes gain medals and experience at Canada Summer Games

T

his past month, Sherbrooke, Quebec hosted the Canada Summer Games 2013, where athletes from across British Columbia eagerly represented our province.

Athletes from every corner of the country trained vigorously and brought their best efforts to the games.

Our athletes from B.C. and specifically from Kelowna, brought home medals in a wide range of sports.

Samuel Harris of Kelowna brought home gold medals in multiple rowing events.

Rostam Turner, a graduate of Kelowna Secondary School, earned

MLA’S REPORT

Steve Thomson bronze in the decathlon.

B.C.’s men’s volleyball team, including Leigh Goossen and Kyle Joslin of Kelowna and Scott Plocktis of West Kelowna, also earned bronze medals.

Team B.C.’s women’s volleyball team, including Becki Kosinski and Kaitlynn Given of Kelowna, fought their way to a silver medal finish.

Congratulations to all the athletes and thank you for representing our province with your hard work, dedication and sportsmanship this summer. It makes us all proud to be so well represented on the national stage and to see our hometown athletes succeed.

You don’t need to be a nationally-ranked athlete to participate in sports in Kelowna and through Community Gaming Grants the provincial government is taking steps to make local sports teams and recreational activities more accessible.

Most recently, the Kelowna Youth Soccer Association, Central Okanagan Sailing Associ-

ation, the Okanagan Branch of the Disabled Sailing Association of B.C., West Kelowna Minor Hockey Association and the Telemark Nordic Club received funding to help continue providing Kelowna residents with opportunities to get and stay active.

You can find more information on Community Gaming Grants at http:// www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/ gaming/.

Sporting organizations do more than just provide our community with a way to develop athletic skill and keep healthy with regular exercise. Being a part of a team helps to teach our children the value of sportsmanship,

Park the historical Fintry Queen at City Park and use it to house a tourist information centre To the editor: This is in concern of the Tourism Centre that is planned for the city park: I myself do not agree with building a tourism centre in City Park and taking that beautiful piece of land and making more roads, parking, etc., in the park, but I do have a suggestion that I don’t know if anyone has ever considered or thought of.

I do not know what is happening with the Fintry Queen, but I am wondering if anyone has ever thought about maybe putting it in the city park as a permanent structure, as they do with the Paddlewheeler in Penticton.

It could be made into an information/tourism bureau and also have a small coffee/tea restaurant inside it.

We would be saving a piece of heritage

that is very valuable to Kelowna along with making it a very attractive piece in or near the city park.

I am sure it would be enjoyed by everyone and anyone who would come to our city, plus by our own community.

Lock out extreme FortisBC executive wages Fortis from A8 charges its customers 20 per cent more than BC Hydro.

FortisBC, as a monopoly, is guaranteed a profit by the BC Utilities Commission and in 2012 this was 9.9 per cent drastic-

ally higher than the 7.75 per cent Stats Canada reports as the industry average for utilities.

And for all of this, fa-

‘A class act all the way’ Hodge from A8 pioned any cause that hit home, involved music, or assisted those in need. He loved to do volunteer work and be a part of the Okanagan community that had truly become his home.

Aside from music, Kim also was a car nut, especially vintage vehicles. He also had a fascination and love of old war planes and last summer in Seattle enjoyed a ride in a 1944 bi-plane open-cockpit Boeing PT-17. He told Arlene the fact that the

plane was as old as he was made it extra special.

Another of his skills that few knew about was his love and skill with photography and he took many interesting photos over the years.

Arlene and Kim also spent many hours cuddled up watching classic movies, especially the Turner Classics shows.

A celebration of life is planned for Sept. 6 at, fittingly enough, the Kelowna Community Theatre.

The time of the event will be announced soon.

As mentioned earli-

er in this column, words cannot express the love and admiration I had for this man despite our short time as close friends.

He was an example of what a good man and good person should really be about. I’m not sure there was a nasty bone in his body. Certainly he had a heart that served the world so well.

A class act all the way—Kim Calloway will live in my heart ‘forever.’

I miss you already, my friend.

cing no competition, FortisBC pays its CEO almost 300 per cent more than the CEO of the largest utility in B.C. and decides to lock out 225 workers and their families.

FortisBC workers don’t deserve to be locked out and it’s the extreme wages of FortisBC executives that need to be locked down.

Kelowna bus driver threatened with gun Police are looking for witnesses who may be able to assist in identifying a suspect after a man pointed a gun at a Kelowna bus driver and threatened to kill him Wednesday.

Kelowna RCMP responded to a report of threats with a firearm at a bus stop on McCurdy

Road East, at Craig Road, at 11 p.m. Wednesday night.

The sole passenger of the bus became angered when he was told it was the end of the line for the number 11 bus.

The man exited the bus and began walking toward Rutland Road before he turned back, re-

portedly drew a handgun and pointed it at the bus driver.

The man allegedly pulled the trigger several times, producing an audible click, and told the bus driver he would kill him.

The man then fled the scene on foot headed southbound on Craig Road.

The suspect is described as a five-footeight, approximately 45-year-old Caucasian man with dark, wavy, short hair. He was wearing a denim jacket and blue jeans.

Police are seeking two female passengers who may have spoken to the suspect and may be able

to assist in identifying him.

The women exited the bus on Hollywood Road near Hollydell Road.

They are asked to contact the police immediately.

Anyone with information regarding the identity of the man is asked to call Kelowna RCMP Const.

On Sept. 5, Kelowna will be watching stars at the first Canadian theatrical screening of the new Brooke Shields’ comedy, The Hot Flashes.

Not only will the event be the first time the movie is shown on the silver screen in Canada, but it is a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society as well.

The movie involves five middle-aged women —former high school basketball champs— who challenge a crew of

sassy high school girls to a basketball tournament in order to raise funds to keep a mobile mammography unit operating in their community.

Featuring an all-star cast, The Hot Flashes brings humour, passion and a commitment to cancer prevention to its audiences everywhere.

“We are thrilled to be screening this film on the big screen for the first time in Canada in Kelowna in support of such an important cause” said Sophie Roux, TVA Films.

“The audience can expect lots of laughs, but also a relatable and heartwarming story.”

The movie screening is being presented by House of Rose Winery, a Kelowna winery that produces Hot Flash wine.

Winery co-owner, Aura Rose, said she first

heard about the movie when Brooke Shields’ assistant requested a couple of cases of Hot Flash wine for the wrap party of the movie’s filming last spring.

Ever since, Rose has been working to bring an event involving the film to Kelowna.

“It’s been fun and rewarding to bring this film to Kelowna. As a winemaker you don’t tend to get this close to Hollywood,” said Rose.

“More importantly, it allows us the opportunity to support the Canadian Cancer Society.”

She said if organizers can encourage even one woman to get a mammogram as a result of the event, it would be a success.”

Tickets for the event cost $25 each and include a glass of Hot Flash wine,

appetizers and the private screening of the movie at Landmark Cinemas Paramount on Bernard Avenue.

The event is slated to start at 6:30 p.m. and the movie will be shown at 7:30 p.m.

Only 400 tickets are available for the movie premiere.

Because the movie will go straight to DVD, VOD and iTunes in Canada, the Kelowna event will be the only time a local audience will be able to see the movie on the big screen.

Tickets can be purchased through House of Rose winery or at a Bean Scene Coffee Houses location in Kelowna.

“Unique fundraising events like this go a long way in helping us to make a real impact in the fight against cancer,” said

Shannon Jolley, revenue development coordinator▼ for the Canadian Cancer Society.

“We are truly honoured to have this support and to be able to raise cancer awareness while watching a fun, empowering movie.”

The film’s stars showed their supportb for the cancer fight dur-G ing the American launchP of the movie in late June,O even filming a PSA to raise awareness aboutr the importance of mam-c mograms. i The U.S. premiereS served as a fundraiser for the American Cancer So-T ciety. t The Hot Flashes fea-u tures Brooke Shields,C Wanda Sykes, Daryl Hannah, Virginia Madsen andt Camryn Manheim. a The movie is directedt

But branch officials are reminding the public about B.C.’s campfire safety regulations and the

Dixie Chicks to play in Kelowna The Dixie Chicks will bring their Long Time Gone Tour to Kelowna’s Prospera Place Sunday, Oct. 27.

The Kelowna date was recently added to a ninecity Canadian tour, which includes Dawson Creek, Saskatoon and Oshawa.

said the band’s members.

The Dixie Chicks are Martie Maguire (fiddle, mandolin, vocals), Emily Robison (banjo, dobro, guitar, vocals) and Natalie Maines (lead vocals, guitar).

The Dixie Chicks have sold more than 30 million albums—1.6 million in Canada alone—and are one of the few acts to have multiple albums reaching “diamond” status.

To date they have won 13 Grammy Awards.

Tickets go on sale Friday, Sept. 6 at 10 a.m. at livenation.com.

Sports box closed Starting Sept. 3, the sportsbox and rink facility at the Joe Rich Community Hall will be closed for a major six-week overhaul.

Don’t send a bear to its death by being careless with garbage

T

heir brains may not be quite up to the same level, but they have a sense of smell that is an amazing 2,100 times better than ours, and they never forget a previous source of food.

If humans provide that food, then bears will end up in conflict with humans to access it.

It’s simple to solve the problem: Never provide bears with access to food sources, according to Ke-

TRAIL MIX

Judie Steeves lowna conservation officer Ken Owens.

Calls about bears will soar in the coming weeks as the big bruins go on their annual for-

age for high calorie food with which to bulk up for winter hibernation— particularly since we’ve had an especially hot and dry summer, which has dried up their normal food sources in the wild.

Owens said they need to consume 20,000 calories a day at this time of year, to prepare to go into dormancy.

mals in the wild, but bird feed is a very high-calorie feed, as is what we leave out in our garbage, pet food or on our barbecue grills.

It’s no surprise that they’re attracted into residential neighbourhoods as long as we put out such attractants.

And, while you may find it exciting to spot the occasional black bear in your backyard, you won’t be quite so impressed if the animal begins walking into the house, banging on your patio door, or threatening your pets or children.

Once you’ve attracted a bear with food, the bruin will continue to return— for years, becoming bolder and more aggressive if it doesn’t get the food it wants.

Owens calls it “loving their bears to death,’” because he said a fed bear is a dead bear, simply because of the natural progression of behaviour once he has lost his fear of man.

Relocating bears never works once they’ve become habituated to human food, because they’ll always return. So, if trapped, they must be killed.

However, Owens cautioned people not to let that fact stop them from reporting bears in their neighbourhood because those reports help the conservation officers track the movements of bears

THE PUBLIC is being warned to not leave food remains out where foraging bears can get at it at this time year. that could become dangerous or threatening.

He also points out that trapping the bear does not solve the problem because another bear will take its place as long as the humans involved haven’t changed their behaviour and stop putting out food that attracts the animals.

Garbage must not be put out prior to the morning of collection, and it must be secured in a bearproof container or inside a bear-proof building the rest of the time.

Fruit should be picked as soon as it’s ready and cleaned up well.

Bird feeders should be taken down between April and November.

Pet food should not be left outdoors and bar-

becue grills should be burned off after cooking and put away.

If you’re caught attracting dangerous wildlife such as bears you could be fined $345.

If you encounter a bear, never turn your back and run. Instead, back up slowly.

If you see a bear in your yard, make a lot of noise to discourage the animal by banging pots and pans and shouting.

After the bear leaves, figure out what attracted it and get rid of whatever that was. If the bear is threatening, call the tollfree hotline at: 1-877-9527277.

Sunflowers received the most attention, especially from goldfinches, chickadees and house finches.

I haven’t planted sunflowers in my gardens for about six years. They always seed themselves. I

leave them unless they’re going to crowd out something else or are in a pathway.

They grow in dry, part shade but tend to be small and spindly. In an irrigated, sunny vegetable garden they become enormous, stout-stemmed plants with many huge flowers.

So it’s good to know I’m part of a union – a team – that stands up for the things we need to make health care better.

Better for us and better for our patients.”

This year I had many sunflowers self-seed in my drought-tolerant test garden.

It’s my most challenging garden: extremely hot, west-facing, sloping down to hot pavement.

Any moisture in the sandy soil is instantly sucked up by a large weeping willow.

I gave this area an inch of water in one good soaking mid-summer.

Otherwise it has relied on rainfall.

The ground is mulched with wood chips.

Native bunch-grass and wildflowers have gone dormant here but, to my astonishment, this year sunflowers are thriving. In the past they have been poor and spindly. My theory is that these off-spring of previous years have gradually adapted to the harsh conditions.

With this in mind, I plan to sprinkle a variety of seeds, in spots where the mulch is thin, to see what will be tough enough to grow there next

GARDEN PESTS Now that we have made it through most of the gardening season, and are nearing harvest time, crop thieves start to become an issue.

Deer, raccoons and other animals are trying to reap your gardening rewards before you can.

There are many safe (for humans and pets), non-poisonous methods to deter these pests that you can use in your garden and yard, such as the auto water gun known as the scarecrow, catstop, nooski and other products.

together

WE’VE BUILT

A UNION THAT CARES.

The ScareCrow motion-activated animal deterrent uses a startling but harmless burst of water to deter pests. The sudden noise, movement and spray scare animals away.

Gardeners list cats as one of their top pests.

The CatStop uses a harmless burst of ultrasonic sound - heard only by cats (some older hard of hearing cats and some exotic breeds are not affected) - to keep them out of gardens, sandboxes and all protected areas.

what adapted to conditions here.

Sprinkling seeds in the fall mimics nature. In spring, as soon as there is enough warmth they will begin to germinate in the moist soil giving them a good start to developing a strong root system before dry weather comes.

I’m notoriously erratic with watering seedling beds in spring so the seeds that can germinate and thrive with just mother-nature’s attentions are the ones most likely to succeed in my gardens.

Red amaranth is a very substantial plant that provides masses of bird seed all though winter so I hope it adapts to the extreme dry conditions.

The other sound I noticed yesterday was the background rhythm section to all of the bird song—the steady hum of bees and other pollinators in late blooming flowers.

I felt truly blessed by my natural companions— flora and fauna.

Rockets bid farewell to captain Sissons Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

There’s absolutely nothing Colton Sissons would accept as a trade for his three seasons in a Kelowna Rockets’ uniform.

Still, the 19-year-old centre from North Vancouver is more than ready to get on with the next phase of his hockey life.

Sissons will leave early next week for the camp of the NHL’s Nashville Predators where he will officially launch his long-awaited career in the pro ranks.

For Sissons, who served two seasons as Rockets’ captain, it’s been a summer of mixed emotions.

“It’s going to be weird not coming back to Kelowna, a bit of a strange feeling in my stomach knowing I’m not going to be playing here this year,” said Sissons, who attended the start of Rockets training camp this week.

“At the same time, it’s really exciting what lies ahead, I’m ready to move on and take the next step for sure.”

The ultimate goal for Sissons, a second-round draft pick of the Predators in the 2012 draft, will be to stick with NHL club for the 2013-14 campaign. If not, the 6-foot1, 195-pound centre is prepared to fine-tune his game with the Predators’ AHL affiliate in Milwaukee.

“It’s great, the Predators have treated me really well and they give their players an opportunity to play for them, that’s what they want to develop their

draft picks,” said Sissons, who turns 20 in November. “They don’t rush you, they groom you well and I’ll my spend days in the minors if they need me to.

I’ll really work hard and amp my game up to that next level and be ready to play when the call comes.

I’m just going to work hard and be patient.”

At just 17, Sissons took over the reins as Rockets captain for the start of the 2011-12 season. And as the young centre grew and matured, so did the team in general as the Rockets won a club record 52 games last season, while racking up a 23 home-ice unbeaten streak.

However, late last season, in an unlucky twist of fate, Sissons’ junior career ended when he suffered a broken collarbone, preventing him from leading the Rockets into the 2013 playoffs.

Still, Sissons is proud

of the considerable progress the team made while he wore the C.

I’M JUST GOING TO WORK HARD AND BE PATIENT. Colton Sissons

“Unfortunately we didn’t win any big championships or titles while I was here, but we did manage to have some success,” said Sissons.

“When I was 17, even to last season the turnaround that we made was really positive, we made some great strides. We really got that compete and passion back into the Rockets’ jersey and hopefully that will continue.”

As for his contribution to the Rockets’ organization over the last three sea-

Myles Bell

sons, club president and GM Bruce Hamilton said players’ of Sissons’ substance and value are few and far between.

“He’s been a tremendous leader for us,” said Hamilton. “He took over as the youngest captain ever and what he did with this hockey club last year to get us turned around, a belief in the players, in the coaching staff that they could be better than they thought they could, and his work ethic was amazing. All the things you need to be an exceptional player, he is.

“More importantly he’s a quality person, a pleasure to have with our organization,” Hamilton added. “I look forward to watching him play with the Nashville Predators soon.”

From Sissons’ perspective his time spent in Kelowna was much more than a career-altering experience.

“I’m completely changed, I came here a boy and I’m leaving here a man,” said Sissons. “I’ve built some great bonds with my billets, my teammates that I’m going to be friends with for life, all the coaches, Bruce (Hamilton) and everyone in the organization. This is as good as it gets, it’s been unbelievable and I’m going to miss it.”

In three seasons in Kelowna, Sissons had 71 goals and 149 points in 182 games.

While it’s pretty much an open-and-shut case that Sissons won’t return to Kelowna, one other Rocket with a chance to stick in the pros this sea-

Heat runners head up volunteer force When the first ever Kelowna Wine Country Half Marathon comes to the Okanagan next month, the UBC Okanagan cross country team will be playing a key role.

Members of the Heat, along with YMCA Strong Kids, are helping to lead the volunteer effort and are in the process of looking for assistance.

Anyone interested in helping out as a volunteer can register as an affiliate of Heat cross country at www.imathlete.com/ events/volunteerbc.

The Wine Country Half Marathon is the newest event produced by Destination Races, and the first event held outside the United States.

Team water stations of up to 10 individuals can be accommodated. Other options will be to help at an aid station, and doing setup/cleanup or at the start or finish line.

Any groups that would be interested in volunteering a station, please contact Nikki Reiter at nikki. reiter@ubc.ca

Going into their third year guiding the Heat cross country running program, the husband and wife duo of Nikki and Nathan Reiter are working feverishly at the university and in the community to elevate cross country into a full varsity sport at the Kelowna campus.

“We want our student athletes to feel as if they’ve worked for the opportunity to represent their institution, and part of this involves them putting the energy into seeking the funding required for the success of the program,” says head coach Nikki Reiter.

“We have six core values that we are utilizing to encourage the student athletes to find a way to becoming a permanent fixture in the Heat varsity athletics program: excellence, opportunity, commitment, collaboration, adaptability and self-sustainability,” Reiter said.

Director of athletics at UBC’s Okanagan campus Rob Johnson, whose ath-

Nikki and Nathan Reiter saw a hole in the athletics program when they arrived in August of 2011 and immediately searched out a way to help fill it.

“We had a great experience as student athletes while studying at CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) institutions, University of Windsor▼ and McMaster University,” explains Nikki.

“With the warm, dry climate late into the fall season and the beautiful trails located on and near campus we knew it was a special place for runners,” she said.

The pair have made an impact in the community and at the university.

As coaches they have created a strong Heat team. By Novembern 2012, the women’s teamt had emerged as a medalg contender at the CCAAL national championships.w With a fourth-place finish,a they narrowly missed theV podium.

The men ran well alsop and finished 10th in theK n country. p R S o s

Warriors wrap up pre-season this weekend The West Kelowna Warriors will play their final two exhibition games of the B.C. Hockey League’s pre-season this weekend, playing a home and home with the Vernon Vipers.

The Warriors and Vipers will play in Vernon at Kal Tire Place on Friday night before the two teams play in West Kelowna at Royal LePage Place on Saturday night to close out the team’s exhibition schedule.

The Warriors had a 3-3 tie and suffered a 2-0 loss to Penticton in its first two exhibition games last weekend.

The exhibition games are the final tune-ups for the Warriors who will head into a final week of practice next week prior to the annual BCHL Showcase tournament in Chilliwack next weekend.

The Warriors will play Surrey Sept. 6 and Nanaimo Sept. 7 at the showcase event, a gathering of all teams in front of college, university and pro scouts.

Warriors returning veteran Ambrose Firkus says the team is shaping up to be a good one this year.

“With the core guys we have coming back we feel we have a real good chance this year,” Firkus said on the Warriors’ web site. “We have a lot of skill on the team and a lot of young guys so we’re looking forward to the season.”

The Warriors will then return to West Kelowna for its home opener Sept.

13 as it plays host to Merritt.

With the Kelowna Rockets kicking off its Western Hockey League exhibition schedule this Friday in Kelowna, the team will also continue its tradition of charity work in the city.

The Rockets have two home exhibition games this season as they will hit the ice at Prospera Place Friday against Kamloops as well as Sept. 7 against Vancouver.

The club will donate $2 from each exhibition ticket to the Cop for Kids, an organization that assists children that are in medical, physical or traumatic crisis in the Southern Interior region of BC. Since the Rockets first partnered with Cops for Kids to raise money in 2001, the team and its fans have raised $34,500 for the organization.

“We’re very proud of

General Hospital for more than a dozen years. Close to $400,000 has been raised for KGH though the Rockets Alumni with money being directed to KGH’s orthopedic ward for the past several years.

This year the Rockets will also hold several other charity events at Prospera Place including Paint the Rink Pink which will raise money for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and the team’s first ever Teddy Bear Toss in early December with Kelowna General Hospital stepping forward to ac-

cept close to 6,000 teddy bears.

Several times a season fans are asked to bring non-perishable items for the Kelowna Community Food Bank while different groups will also utilize Rockets games to spread awareness or raise money for their charity.

A few other groups the Rockets work with include but are not limited to: • The SPCA • The Heart and Stroke Foundation • The Canadian Cancer Society

• Brain Trust Canada • The YMCA • The Have a Heart Radio Thon • Kelowna Minor Hockey Tickets are on sale through www.selectyourtickets.com for the Rockets home exhibition games on Friday against Kamloops and Sept. 7 against Vancouver with partial proceeds to Cops for Kids.

The Rockets open the WHL season on Sept. 20 in Kamloops and hold its season home opener on Sept. 21, also against Kamloops.

The UBC Onanagan Heat women are gearing up for their last college league tour before making the jump to Canada West soccer competition in 2014.

A visit to Mount Royal in Calgary for the Alberta Cup on Aug. 24 was the team’s first crack at Canada West competition in 2013 where they came away with a 1-2 result.

The women squared off with the University of Alberta first, where coach Claire Paterson was proud to “see some second year players’ step up their (performances).” Caitlin “CJ” Murchie (second-year, Calgary) netted the Heat a goal off of a cross from Lana Finley (third-year, Kelowna) that she volleyed top shelf. Struggles

to beat Alberta’s keeper would result in a 4-1 victory for the Pandas.

Next up, UBCO defeated was Lethbridge 2-0. Second-year midfielder Mairi Horth (Ladysmith) and fourthyear forward Lindsey Briggs (Delta) were the goal getters for the Heat down the stretch. Midfielder Michelle Smith (Vernon) played the full 90 minutes as keeper for the shutout.

The host, Mount Royal, would be last for the Heat, with Paterson opting to try different player combos as the bench was shortened due to the injury and fatigue.

A 3-0 victory for the Cougars would cap off the tourney for the Heat.

Heat soccer kicks off the regular season at home versus the Vancouver Island Mariners on Saturday, Sept. 7 with the women to begin play at 1 p.m. The action will take place at the Nonis Sports Field on UBC’s Okanagan campus.

HEAT MEN

The Heat men continued their pre-season training schedule by completing a west coast swing from Aug. 24 to 26 against a variety of powerhouse opponents. The team will be making the jump to Canada West competition next season and hopes to learn and improve as much as it can in its outings versus such teams.

On Saturday, the Heat played a tight contest against the Vancouver Metro Soccer League’s Langley club and wound up with a 2-2 tie. Sophomore midfielder Darrell Plantz (Aldergrove) and rookie Logan Abbott (Salmon Arm) each netted a point for the UBC Okanagan Heat.

Sunday the team knotted another tie south of the border while visiting the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington. Third-year midfielder Austin Jones (Vernon) was the lone scorer for the Heat in the outing.

With a campus-to-campus rivalry already established between the volleyball and basketball squads for each of UBC’s campuses, the men’s soccer team is already ready to join the fun, and got their crack on Monday when the Heat took on the defending CIS men’s champion Thunderbirds at Thunderbird Stadium on Monday night.

Rookie Enzo Paal (Coldstream) the Heat’s lone marker in a 4-1 loss.

The team hopes to take the lessons learned over the weekend into the regular season, which they open at home next weekend.

You know, that game where 30 men, some lean and shifty, others big and burly, seem intent on pummeling each other in a chaotic effort to possess an oddly oval ball.

That’s rugby, the game that is oft quoted to be “a hooligans sport played by gentlemen”. And while that is an apt description of a wonderful game it neglects to mention that rugby is also played by nearly one million women worldwide. It is an Olympic sport, it has World Cup competitions and on the international level it is currently being dominated by Canadian women.

Federal Lights at Streaming Cafe Making their mark on the airwaves with two weeks at No. 1 on CBC Radio 3’s R330 Chart, Winnipeg’s Federal Lights will bring their prairie-pop sound on a string of Western Canadian tour dates, including Kelowna, to support their upcoming album We Were Found In The Fog. Wrapping up with a hometown performance, the band will then take off for Germany to begin their first European tour.

In We Were Found In The Fog, the hooks are more refined, the lyrics more precise, and JeanGuy Roy’s timeless, resonant voice is as clear as a bright blue Prairie sky.

Recorded in the heart of a cold Winnipeg winter, the album marks Roy’s second time in the studio with engineer Cam Loeppky (Weakerthans,

Movie review: Take kids to Percy Jackson

PERCY JACKSON, SEA OF MONSTERS I would have written about Lee Daniels’ The Butler but so many have already reviewed this film that anything I might say would not be particularly original.

Just go see this awesome movie. The cast is the who’s who of Hollywood and the story, while not completely about the Civil Rights movement, it provides a history that we should never forget, because if we forget history, we’re bound to repeat it.

So, I went to see Percy Jackson, Sea of Monsters.

I love sci-fi, but more than that I love fantasy (Harry Potter, The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe), so Percy Jackson, Sea of Monsters is right up my alley (can you say

Canada’s best sellers

BEHIND THE SCREEN

Susan Steen immature?)

Apparently I’m in the minority (being immature, that is) because there were seven people at the theatre when I went on Sunday afternoon. This is the first film in the series and will likely come in third for the weekend box office take.

Percy, who is actually the son of Poseidon (who fathered a child with a human), lives in a safe place with others whose relatives are gods. When their safe place is threatened, Percy and his friends (in-

cluding a half-bother— Poseidon was a busy god as he also fathered a child with a nymph. When a god fathers a child with a nymph, the result is a cyclopes (or the ocular impaired for the politically correct). Just wanted you to know that in case you might be tempted to seek out a nymph or two.)

Anyway, to save the day, the little group must find the Golden Fleece which is in the Sea of Monsters (which humans call The Bermuda Triangle).

Good special effects add to the adventure. This film is shot in Super 35, although the credits indicate it was “filmed in Panavision.”

Not many “stars” in this one. Stanley Tucci, as Mr. D, Anthony Head as Chiron, a few satrys, Lo-

gan Leman (we’ve seen him in Perks of Being a Wallflower) as Percy, and Alexandra Daddario who plays Annabeth, who actually found out she was prone to sea sickness while filming the yacht and lifeboat scenes— lucky girl!

I liked this. Take your grandchildren if they are younger than 12, take the 10-year-old from next door. Don’t take anyone expecting any form of sophistication, but it will do for someone who wants a simple story, some ‘magic,’ real seahorses, and some fantasy.

I give Percy Jackson, Sea of Monsters 3 1/2 reels.

Mayer still has musical chops; TT Band radio-friendly

JOHN MAYER: PARADISE VALLEY (COLUMBIA)

John Mayer has put himself at risk for being known more for his peccadilloes and his famous girlfriends (with benefits) instead of his music.

Mayer, an erstwhile sensitive singer/songwriter and sometimes blues player seems to be going Hollywood which could easily kill off his artistic credibility. He has admitted that he is self-absorbed which is why I guess Mayer likes for everybody to know he is a success with the fairer sex as it boosts his ego.

Mayer also has something of a big mouth so that we probably know more than we want to about his personal affairs.

In ye olde English terms Mayer would qualify as a ‘cad.’

Now the paparazzi that usually follows around the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Katy Perry, Jessica Simpson, Taylor Swift etc., also follows Mayer around and he doesn’t seems to mind them.

However, Mayer has released his eighth studio album that he has named Paradise Valley where he keeps a home in Montana.

Although this new release was recorded in Los Angeles, the sound is all country, folk and rootsy acoustic pop that suggests his heart isn’t so much in the city as in his rural retreat for these often self reflective tunes.

Paradise Valley is also an excellent album and one that will help stave off the notion that Mayer isn’t still a major musical talent. This new release has made its debut in the USA at the No. 2 spot on the national charts as country-boy-next-door Luke Bryan hangs on to the top of the charts with his Crash My Party album.

There are 11 tracks on Paradise Valley and every song has something to recommend it, making this a strong album throughout.

Mayer’s current single, Wildfire, is a handsome folk pop ditty about the fleeting moments of summer with the lyric “a little bit of summer’s what the whole year’s all about.”

Meanwhile, the breezy song Paper Doll has also become a minor hit and is ostensibly Mayer’s retort to Taylor Swift’s Dear John song

SOUNDING OFF

Bruce Mitchell where he sings “yer like 22 girls in one” with an acoustic mix that Jack Johnson fans will enjoy.

Mayer also offers a winsome live-in-the-studio homage to the recently passed away J.J. Cale with a cover of Call Me The Breeze that has fantastic guitar runs.

Meanwhile, on againoff again girlfriend Katy Perry helps out co-writing and singing along to the horn-infused ballad Who You Love that sounds as if it was also live off the floor with Perry giggling at the fade out.

My fave track is the closing On The Way Home that has a groove of Americana pop not unlike Paul Simon’s Graceland.

Mayer may have proven to be a bit of an overexposed pill in the

tabloids but his musical instincts are still in very good form.

B

TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND: MADE UP MIND (SONY)

This is the second studio album for the husband and wife led band with Derek Trucks on slide guitar and Susan Tedeschi on acoustic guitar and vocals.

The TT Band is a big one with 10 members that includes two drummers and a horn section. Be-

tween their two studio albums, the TT Band released the live two-CD concert set Everybody’s Talking that established them on record as a top notch jam band as fortified by their many live gigs.

But Made Up My Mind is an 11-track single disc, studio release with shorter radio-friendly songs that will naturally be expanded on the road for jam interplay and stretched workouts.

Fans of Trucks superi-

or guitar solos might be disappointed by the brevity of his string bending and sliding here but the song is the thing on Made Up Mind. The title track is a superb blues rock introduction that put a big smile on this old Faces fan as the guitar borrows some nice riffage from Ronnie Wood when he was the lead for this legendary Brit rock band.

And it is this sort of nod to the past glories of blues rock and the southern fried Dixie of old that had Rolling Stone magazine write that Made Up Mind “sounds like history renewed.”

Tedeschi sounds in particularly fine form here on these blues rock and soul songs that reminded me of a blend of Bonnie Raitt with long forgotten Delaney & Bonnie (the latter’s Best Of set is hard

to find yet well worth seeking out).

After the lead-off Faces-like rocker the TT Band settles into more soulful ballads such as Do I Look Worried and The Storm that both reminded me of Adele.

The most Allman Bros.-like song here is All That I Need where Trucks stretches out the most while the edgiest

song here strips down to a small combo for Whiskey Legs.

This powerhouse album of soul and blues rock will solidify the Tedeschi Trucks Band following after their Grammy winning debut and I am sure the followers can’t wait for the live expanded concerts.

NEWS ▼ PAIN

Leg length inequity can have a direct impact on lower back

A

s a doctor of chiropractic, I see many patients presenting with chronic low back pain.

I have suffered from chronic low back pain since I was 14-years-old.

I had tried many different therapies over the years and saw a number of different practitioners with negligible results.

The statistics state that low back pain will affect 89 per cent of us on a debilitating level at some point in our life.

Chronic low back pain can be profoundly disabling, it can affect your relationships, work, energy,

ASK DR.THIEL

Markus Thiel sleep and concentration.

Needless to say, it is a very hard thing to ignore.

It was not until I saw a chiropractor that the genesis of my chronic low back pain was realized.

He found that I had a significantly shorter leg on my right side than my left.

This is what is con-

sidered a leg length inequality.

He said I didn’t need a lot of chiropractic adjustments, just a small latex wedge, which I placed inside my right shoe. It was only seven millimetres in height.

I found it unusual that as soon as I put this minute wedge in my shoe, I felt off balance.

In fact, I was standing perfectly straight for the first time in many years.

I felt that I was leaning to my left side.

He showed me the postural analysis pictures that he took in his clinic before and after the lift

was inserted.

Prior to the lift, my right shoulder was low and my head was off center, positioned to my left.

With the lift, everything was perfectly midline.

There is a phenomenon called a closed kinetic chain.

In this phenomenon, the ankle will directly affect the knee, in turn affecting the hip, translating that asymmetry throughout your spine, finally ending at your skull.

The analogy I like to use is this: If the foundation of the house is crooked, the house will be crooked too.

Within two days, my back pain was entirely gone for the first time in decades.

Not only was this logical, but it was extremely effective.

I would conservatively estimate that at least 40 per cent of my low back pain patients have a significant leg length inequality, measuring at least six millimetres.

Oddly enough, in at least 90 per cent of those cases, it seems to be the right leg that is the shorter than the left.

There is a very easy way to tell whether you have a leg length inequal-

ity.

Go to your closet and find an old pair of shoes.

Runners are best. Flip them over and examine the soles of shoes. Take a close look at the wear pattern of your shoes, paying close attention to the heel and the front of the foot.

If you have a distinctly different wear pattern from one shoe to the next, you have a leg length inequality .

In the past, I have corrected not only low back pain, I’ve also been able to correct knee pain and spinal pain and, in a very few instances, temporomandibular joint

problems.

This is an example of the far-reaching effects of a dysymmetrical or uneven leg lengths and their effects throughout your body.

Symmetry directly affects function.

The pain you are experiencing secondary to the leg length inequality is not because of the short leg, rather, it is the manner in which your body is trying to compensate for the short leg. Simple to find, easy to fix.

UBCO Master of Social Work program focuses on clinical practice New UBCO program addresses Canada’s need for highly trained social workers, say university officials.

As director of the School of Social Work at UBC’s Okanagan campus, Ed Taylor had a tough call to make in establishing an enhanced master of social work program (MSW).

The higher qualification was quickly becoming the new post-secondary standard in the social and mental health care communities.

So, difficult though it was, UBC announced last year that it would no longer offer the bachelor of social work program at the Okanagan campus.

Instead, for 2013-14, the master’s program was revamped, adding a foundational two-year master of social work stream for those with a related bachelor’s degree.

That allowed the school of social work to develop a highly specialized clinical program with a focus on direct practice, policy, organizational and community development.

“By offering one program—the master’s, with a clinical perspective— we knew we could offer our students a highly di-

verse program,” said Taylor.

As predicted, the new MSW has proven popular—first-year enrolment of 50 students was quickly filled from more than 100 applicants.

Taylor said the MSW is the preferred credential for many professionals and is required to become a registered clinical social worker, essential in many career paths.

And to broaden their knowledge and increase their employment possibilities, Taylor encourages potential students with undergraduate degrees in psychology, sociology, women’s studies, interdisciplinary studies, or other related disciplines

to apply to the foundational two-year MSW. “We are moving to an all-MSW program because both British Columbia and Canada have a growing need for highly trained, specialized, graduate-level social workers,” he said.

The program has a heavy focus on family and child well-being and mental health.

Students have access to UBC’s newly-opened interprofessional clinic—a teaching and research clinic, which is a collaborative venture between the schools of social work and nursing, and UBC’s psychology department—that will give students hands-on, prac-

VERY FEW SCHOOLS CAN PROVIDE THEIR STUDENTS ACCESS TO WORKING CENTRES LIKE OURS, OR ALLOW THEIR STUDENTS TO PROVIDE DIRECT SERVICE IN THE SCHOOL’S CLINIC. Ed Taylor

tical clinic time.

The school of social work also houses the Cen-

tre for the Study of the Services to Children and Families and is in partnership with the Centre for Inclusion and Citizenship, which officially opens on Friday, Sept. 20.

Both centres give students numerous opportunities for clinical practice, another highlight that differentiates UBC’s master of social work program from many other social work programs across Canada.

“Very few schools can provide their students access to working centres like ours, or allow their students to provide direct service in the school’s clinic, let alone associate with the management team of that clinic,” Taylor

says. “Our students will be on that management team itself.”

MSW student Johnathan Ikebuchi, who currently works part time for Interior Health, said the practical component to the degree is vital.

While he knows a master’s degree will open up different career and educational opportunities, leaving school with a solid practical background is important in today’s job market.

“Attending the School of Social Work has been an exceptional learning experience,” said Ikebuchi. “The size of the school has definitely been an advantage in my studies.”

All docents receive full instruction on the art in each exhibition and advance training about working with students in a gallery setting.

“Becoming a volunteer docent at the gallery was the most rewarding new experience I have had in a long time,” says volunteer Karen Rodger.

“Each tour and discussion with a class felt completely different from the previous one. The children continually surprised me by making the most remarkable observations and art work. I can’t wait to return in fall.”

The school tour pro-

gram welcomes 8,000 students throughout the Central Okanagan annually, and has received national recognition for excellence in educational programs from the Canadian Art Gallery Educators. For many students, this visit is their first experience in an art gallery.

Volunteers are asked to fill out and submit a volunteer application form to Renee Burgess, Head of Public Programming, no later than Sunday, September 15. Application forms are available online or at the Gallery from reception. For more information please call the Gallery at 250-762-2226.

THE CHICAGO RIVER is one way to see the skyscrapers.You can cruise or paddle, or walk along its edges on the city’s growing RiverWalk.

▼ CHICAGO

Cloud Gate dominates Millennium Park Bob Downing CONTRIBUTOR

The Bean is big.

The Bean is already one of Chicago’s major landmarks, up there with the Hancock Tower, the Chicago River, the Willis Tower, Navy Pier and, yes, Wrigley Field.

In fact, it is Chicago’s No. 2 tourist attraction. It has gotten an estimated 4.5 million visitors a year since it opened in 2004, second only to iconic Navy Pier with 8.6 million.

The elliptical Bean, as the stainless-steel sculpture is known by locals, is the major landmark in the city’s Millennium Park, a $475 million public park that opened in 2004.

It sits where railroad yards and parking lots once stood at the edge of downtown. It has become Chicago’s new front yard. The park has its own greeters, welcome centre and gift shop.

Officially, the threestory sculpture by London artist Anish Kapoor

is known as Cloud Gate.

But its kidney-bean shape is why is it is known simply as The Bean.

The public sculpture strikingly reflects and distorts the neighburing skyline and clouds on its gleaming surface.

It cost $23 million and is made from 168 stainless steel plates with no visible seams. It is 66 feet long, 33 feet high and 42 feet wide, weighing 110 tons. It looks like an oversized drop of mercury.

Visitors can walk under its 12-foot-high arch and even touch the stainless steel surface. It is whimsical and irresistible. Everyone loves The Bean, on AT&T Plaza, the centrepiece of Millennium Park.

The park lies on the south side of the Chicago River, tucked between the downtown area (the Loop) and Lake Michigan.

What Chicago has done with Millennium Park is a major urban renewal effort.

From the 1850s to

1997, the land where the park is now was controlled by the Illinois Central Railroad. Visionary Chicago leader Daniel Burnham realized that the tract was untouchable in the early 1900s and designed Grant Park around it. By the 1990s, the area was covered with parkland, unsightly tracks and parking lots.

In 1997, Mayor Richard M. Dailey unveiled plans for a 16-acre park and outdoor concert venue in the Beaux Arts style of nearby Grant Park. With the involvement of architect Frank Gehry and other partners, the project grew to 24.5 acres.

The park also features Crown Fountain. Spanish artist Jaume Plensa created a shallow pool between two 50-foot-high glassblock towers. The black granite reflecting pool fountain and the towers cost $17 million.

The water operates from May to October, cascading down the towers and spouting through

nozzles on the front of the towers that show faces of 1,000 Chicagoans.

Concerts are held in the park’s Jay Pritzker Pavilion with its Great Lawn. It has seats in the pavilion for 4,000 and can accommodate 7,000 more on the grass.

It features a stainless-steel band shell designed by Gehry. A trellis of curved steel pipes holds the sound system. It is home to the Grant Park Music Festival.

The McDonald’s Cycle Center offers bike rentals at the park’s northeast corner.

Millennium Park has won awards for its accessibility and green design.

The park offers greeter tours at 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. daily from May to October. It is a 45-minute free walking tour that looks at the park’s art and architecture.

Tours are also offered of the 2.5-acre Lurie Garden at the park’s southern end at 11 a.m. Fridays and 10 a.m. Sundays from May to September. It cost

$13.2 million to build the garden.

Millennium Park is bordered by Michigan Avenue to the west, Columbus Drive to the east, Randolph Street to the north and Monroe Drive to the south.

It is connected via the 925-foot-long BP Pedestrian Bridge and the Nichols Bridgeway to other parts of Grant Park, Lake Michigan, the Lakefront Trail and Navy Pier.

Park hours are 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. Admission is free. For information, call 312-742-1168 or 312-742-2963, or see www.millenniumpark. org.

One good way to get an eyeful of Chicago and its skyscrapers is to explore the RiverWalk that runs along the Chicago River. It is 1.3 miles long and growing. You are at the bottom of an urban canyon. The walkway was started in 2001.

You can also cruise the river on boat trips that

The green river now flows backward from Lake Michigan to the Illinois River, carrying sewage away from the city. Its water quality is far from pristine. It is dyed kelly green on St. Patrick’s Day. Chicago is also known for its world-class museums, shopping, night life, entertainment and more than 6,000 restaurants. It’s an impressive and friendly city with a strong Midwest vibe.

It gets 46 million visitors a year. It is the birthplace of the skyscraper and features public art. It embraces Lake Michigan with its 33 public beaches. Its 550 parks cover 7,500 acres.

of rock and artifacts from historical sites around the world. It is unexpected and a little surreal.

You can see pieces of the Taj Mahal, the Great Pyramid, the Alamo, Notre Dame de Paris, the Great Wall of China, the Coliseum, Angkor Wat, the Parthenon, Corregidor Island, the Palace of Westminster, Reims Cathedral, Berlin Wall, Mosque of Suleiman the Magnificent and the World Trade Center.

The 150 labeled artifacts are set in the exterior limestone walls of the Gothic-style building at 435 N. Michigan Ave. There’s at least one from all 50 states. The artifacts were reportedly brought back to Chicago as gifts for Col. Robert F. McCormick, the paper’s owner and publisher.

You can walk, run and pedal on the Lakefront Path that runs 18.5 miles along Lake Michigan.

fields and more. It is the best and most crowded bikeway around Chicago.

One neat way to learn about the city is via Chicago Neighborhood Tours that offer a look at churches and ethnic fare. Chicago is made up of 77 community areas with 120 neighbourhoods.

You take a guided tour on bus and on foot to neighborhoods like Little Italy, Hyde Park, Historic Bronzeville or Ukrainian Village.

The tours last four hours with a refreshment stop. Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for senior citizens, students and children 8 to 18. Tours depart

at 10 a.m. Saturdays yearround from the Chicago Cultural Center at Randolph Street and Michigan Avenue in the Loop.

For reservations and more information, call 312-742-1190 or www. chicagoneighborhoodtours.com.

Navy Pier has been a Chicago landmark since 1916. It served as a pilot training base in World War II. The 3,000-footlong pier reopened in 1995 after a $150 million reconstruction.

Today it is an entertainment facility with IMAX theaters, a concert venue, a children’s museum, bars, restaurants

and shops. It can be wallto-wall people.

Among other attractions: Sue is the skeletal Tyrannosaurus rex and the star of the Field Museum of Natural History. The Shedd Aquarium is the best in the Midwest. The Art Institute is stellar. The vMuseum of Science and Industry includes a fullsized German submarine in its basement.

▼ GLOBAL CONFERENCE

Nissan opens its doors to the future Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR

JIM ROBINSON/CONTRIBUTOR

NISSAN 360 brought out all the concept cars. Here are (from left) are the Infiniti Etherea, Essence and EMERG-E that show the new Infiniti design language like the “double arch” grille and the arrowhead shaped lights.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA: Nissan and Infiniti laid all its new production and technology cards on the table at a worldwide conference held in southern California.

Called Nissan 360, it is the third such event since 1999 with Power 88 being at the core of the conference.

Power 88 is the midterm business plan announced in June 2011 aiming at an eight per cent global market share and eight per cent operating margin by the end of the fiscal year 2016.

Over the monthlong event that ends in mid-September, more than 1,000 media, investors, suppliers, dealers and industry experts were expected to attend seminars,

previews and road testing of more than 100 vehicles Nissan and Infiniti sells around the globe, including the re-emergence of Datsun as the company’s new brand targeting entrylevel markets.

At the media conference, the company announced plans to introduce 51 new or updated models around the world in the next eight years and it will reveal all-new models of its five top North American sellers over the the next 15 months.

Growth is key for Nissan/Infiniti and today it produces more cars and trucks in North and South American than it did worldwide in 1999.

Another part of the equation is Blue Citizenship with the ultimate goal

Car sharing in future

Nissan from B1

of producing zero emission, zero fatality vehicles.

Nissan’s Leaf is the world’s largest selling all-electric car with more than 74,000 on the road.

Nissan says the total emission-free miles covered would be more than three round trips from the Earth to the sun.

In terms of reducing fatalities, Nissan has set a goal of reducing the number of deaths in its cars by 50 per cent by 2015 and actually hit 55 per cent in 2010. Now the goal is reducing the remainder by another 50 per cent by 2020.

Over at Infiniti it was all about an unbridled assault on its premium lux-

ury competition using new synergies and a bold attitude making them the “seductive provocateur” when it comes to attracting “young-minded” luxury buyers.

Infiniti started in North America, but is now sold in 50 countries around the world and that number is going to grow.

To do this, Infiniti will tailor its products to meet market expectations such as long wheelbase cars in China and a compact premium vehicle for Europe that will be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

But perhaps the most fascinating part of the conference was Nissan’s vision of the longer term future as explained by Rachel Nguyen, director of Global Upstream Plan-

ning.

She said the aim is to produce vehicles that help give people freedom of mobility while letting them enjoy more time in a car.

It takes autonomous, self-driving cars to a higher level where they will be seen as more of a “valued assistant” than a mode of transportation.

It will usher in an age of more car sharing—an example being a taxi. You use your mobile device to hail the closest autonomous electric cab, get in and go to any desired location and do so with no emissions and no parking fees.

Then there is the We Lounge, a minivan-like electric vehicle in which a group of people on vaca-

tion can take a tour of the city or country while being connected anywhere in the world.

Nguyen said another challenge is to make future vehicles “more comfortable” to women who tend to see a car not as a product but as a tool.

“It’s a space they can live in,” she said.

Another demographic they’re aiming for is youth, who do not share the same love of their cars, as the older generations did. Youth, she said, want to be more involved which leads to a concept of “co-creation.”

(matching styling that reflects who they are), Hot Swap (where creative people come together and share ideas), Freestyle (where an open architec-

ture vehicle can be customized anytime) and 5-Ten (for the technophiles who want to have a hands-on experience).

Nguyen said car com-

panies can “wait until the future comes to them” or help decide the future for a generation where mobility is anything you want it to be.

Fusion Hybrid delivers fuel savings without the sacrifice Neil Moore contributor Let’s begin this Ford Fusion review with a few words about its big brother.

I’ve always liked the full-size Taurus, in particular the asphalt-ripping SHO model, but when the all-new Fusion launched in the fall of 2012, I was smitten.

Ford took the wraps off a redesigned midsize sedan that, inside, is slightly roomier than the Taurus and on the outside, even more fetching.

The Fusion’s new, sleeker silhouette, sweeping character lines and thin roof pillars create an athletic profile. And its slit projector headlamps and wide grille with horizontal chrome strakes is a welcome nod to Aston Martin—one the Fusion wears well.

Fast forward to this summer.

Having just handed back the keys from both these vehicles following a week with each, I’m scratching my head as to why I’d choose a Taurus over a Fusion. Unless there’s a pressing need for the Taurus’s 569 litre, golf-bag-swallowing trunk, I can’t think of it.

My purpose here, however, is not a shootout between both vehicles, but simply to note that Fusion has checked all the right boxes in providing comfortable and fuel-efficient five-passenger transport. The lineup begins with an entry model in the low $20K range, and can climb close to $40K depending on your need for performance, fuel economy, amenities and driver tech.

There are many ways to order a Fusion, combining three trim levels (S, SE and Titanium) and numerous engine options: a 2.5-litre normally aspirated four cylinder, 1.6-litre turbo four, 2.0-litre turbo four, 2.0-litre regular hybrid, and plug-in hybrid.

My tester for the week was the SE Hybrid, which at $29,999 is nearly five grand more than the midpack SE, minus the battery. That may seem a big jump in price when

the difference between the Titanium Hybrid and Titanium non-hybrid is only $1,400. But the latter comes with all-wheeldrive and is powered by the 2.0-litre Ecoboost, which is a step up from the SE’s 2.5-litre engine.

Other than receiving dual-zone climate control and eco-friendly cloth seating, the SE Hybrid is similarly equipped to its gas-only sibling. Standard features include power windows and locks, 10way power driver’s seat, tilt/telescopic steering with cruise and audio controls, three 12-volt powerpoints, automatic headlamps, solar tinted windows, 17-inch aluminum wheels, six-speaker AM/ FM/CD audio system, SYNC voice-activated communications and infotainment system and a dual LCD “SmartGauge.”

NEIL MOORE/CONTRIBUTOR

WITH a wide stance and sweeping profile, not to mention its “Aston Martin” grille, the 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid looks more an athlete than an eco-warrior. Other than badging, there are few cues that it’s a hybrid model.

This twin display is noteworthy in providing a user-friendly way to let you know when you’re being naughty or nice.

To the left is the Brake Coach, which measures

braking efficiency each time you apply the binders. Hit them hard and you’ll get a failing grade; apply them gently and gradually, and you’ll score in the nineties.

tion ($700).

And if you want even more goodies, there’s adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection with cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, rear parking sensors, auto high beams and more.

Overall, even the SE interior has a premium look with plenty of soft touch materials, piano black appliqués, metallic and chrome accents and a modern flat-panel centre console with touch-sensitive controls.

In rear, passengers will find plenty of headroom and legroom, and separate ventilation with 12-volt and 110-volt power outlets below.

The 60/40 seats fold flush to a raised deck in the trunk, under which you’ll find the battery pack. But unlike most hybrids, it doesn’t eat up a lot of space, as the Fusion’s cargo capacity is

still a cavernous 453 litres.

Driving dynamics were also a pleasant surprise. You would expect barely a whiff of sportiness in a car that by its intent discourages spirited driving, yet the Fusion Hybrid offers not only responsive steering, but a taut ride that’s a pleasure in the corners.

And although this is no sports sedan, the car’s 2.0-litre Atkinson cycle four cylinder (141 hp, 129 lb/ft, 188 hp system total), paired with the instantaneous torque of the electric motor, provides plenty of punch off the line, and when you need it for highway passing.

The Fusion’s predecessor had a 2.5-litre engine and a few more horses, but the new electric motor is more powerful than the one it replaces, allowing the 2013 to run on electric-only up to 100 km/h for short distances.

DUAL LCD “SmartGauges” on either side of the speedometer help keep you driving fuel efficiently with real-time displays on braking, acceleration and other parameters.

One area where Ford deserves a big ‘thumbs up’ is in their hybrid system’s ability to transition seamlessly between gas, gas/electric and electric-only modes. Other than the tiniest shudder when the petrol engine kicks in—less than I’ve experienced in cars costing thousands more— I’d be hard pressed to detect these shifts without the real-time graphic display.

Fuel economy, however, didn’t live up to Transport Canada’s rating of 4.0L/100 km combined. Mind you, I’ve also given up on the tooth fairy.

These tests are done on a dynamometer and seldom come close to real-world results, which in my case was 6.2L/100 km of combined city/highway driving. For a relative-

ly large sedan—and taking into account my driving style —this was pretty darned good.

There’s still more to say about this vehicle, but sales figures speak for themselves. Year-todate, as of July, Ford had moved 13,347 Fusions, which includes 729 hybrids.

These are big numbers, and suggest as I did in my last review, that the Fusion, built on an allnew global chassis, has knocked it out of the park in terms of styling and technology.

I would also add that in the Hybrid version, Ford offers a ‘green’ alternative that delivers all of the above, and with few sacrifices—other than your time at the fuel pump.

▼ HYUNDAI

Santa Fe XL Limited finally proves that size does matter

Despite what you may have heard, there is, and always will be, a need for a vehicle at fits in a normal egarage and has seating for up to eight. : For decades the queen lof the people haulers was the minivan and it still is.

- But the rise of the sport utility vehicles over -just the past 15 years has been astonishing. Now -SUVs come in all sizes, -price ranges and uses.

-

Hyundai, never one to leave a viable niche unplumbed, offered the Entourage extended minivan and more recently the Veracruz SUV that more than filled the bill.

With the advent of direct injection engines, lighter but more rigid chassis and, above all, ingenious new people packaging methods, you can have a mid-size SUV and seat up to seven people all in one vehicle and that’s what the 2013 Santa Fe XL is all about.

While the five-seat Santa Fe offers a choice of two, four-cylinder engines, the 215 mm longer Santa Fe XL is fitted with Hyundai’s new, direct injection 3.3-litre V6 as the only engine, mainly because of the weight of its greater 6/7-passenger seating. The 3.3-litre produces 290 hp and 252 lb/ft of torque.

The XL is available in front- or all-wheel-drive and both use a six-speed automatic transmission with Shiftronic manual

sequential shift mode.

Fuel rating for the FWD version is 11.6/7.8/9.9 L/100 km city/highway/combined and 11.7/8.0/10.0 L/100 km for the AWD. The Santa Fe XL increases second-row legroom by 50 millimetres and cargo capacity by 156 litres, relative to its five-passenger sibling with a nice touch being standard rear-passenger HVAC controls and vents.

ABLE to seat up to seven, there is 383 litres behind third row, 1,159 litres behind middle row with a total of 2,265 litres of maximum cargo room.

JIM ROBINSON/CONTRIBUTOR

THE 2013 Santa Fe XL (Limited model shown) extends the standard model by 215 mm allowing for seating for up to seven. bench seat has 800 millimetres of legroom.

Customers can opt for a 40:20:40 split-folding second row bench seat for seven-passenger versatility or a six-passenger layout with second row captain’s chairs.

The interior is festooned with beverage holders of all shapes.

Thoughtfully, each one has a little ridged bottom so drinks and water bottles don’t clatter around when moving.

When it comes to electronics, the South Koreans are probably the best in the world and that proves to be true inside the Santa Fe. The XL is available with three audio systems starting with a standard AM/FM/Satellite Radio/ CD/MP3 audio system with six-speakers and

iPod/USB/auxiliary connectivity.

Tested here is the Santa Fe Limited AWD fitted with a super fast navigation system, a 550watt Infinity Logic 7 audio system with 12 speakers, including an eightinch subwoofer, and external amplifier.

the next three required manoeuvres.

It is much easier to use and understand than I can explain in words and definitely worth a test drive just to see how it works.

The 2013 Santa Fe has every safety feature you can think of such as seven airbags, but one of the more interesting is the Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) system that incorporates a Rollover Protection System.

What it does is control the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) and the Motor-Driven Power Steering (MDPS) to help the driver maintain control of the vehicle in slippery conditions or during fast cornering. Should the vehicle lose traction, VSM can deliver up to

eight Newton-meters of counter-steering effort to help keep it on the road. A Traction Control System (TCS) is also included.

In keeping with the ways the Koreans are dialling in electronics into their cars and trucks is Hyundai’s all-new Driver Selectable Steering Mode (DSSM) system.

It has three operating modes (Comfort, Normal and Sport) allowing the driver to configure steering response to road conditions and his/her driving style.

I’ve tried this a few times now and find Normal is the best for allround driving. Sport adds a 10 per cent stiffness to the steering while Comfort relaxes driver input for the long haul.

My AWD Limited came with the topline saddle leather interior adding a near-luxury feel one expects from the Germans in this segment.

There is an icon of the Santa Fe in the centre driver display. At start up, it shows a beam passing from stern to stem as part of a maintenance check to see if everything is functioning. It’s like a little bit of Star Trek in your people hauler.

While the new V6 is smaller for 2013, its direct injection makes it more responsive as well as more powerful plus more frugal in operation.

But what owners will like is the way the power and torque are applied by the six-speed, making for transparent gear changes

with the steering wheel communicating a feeling of solid grip at the road surface.

Part of this is due to fact the Santa Fe is 178 kg lighter than the Veracruz and advances made in steering and road holding between the two make for a much better handling package in the new one.

This comes to the fore on downtown city streets where girth and sloth are hindrances as any fullsize SUV or pickup truck owner will tell you. You can access any underground parking without fear of skinning the roof on a height restriction bar.

Another great feature of the XL Premium is the full-length sunroof that is great on sunny days but it also gives you a reassur-

seats in a bench format or two captain’s chairs as shown here fitted with the Saddle Leather option available on the Limited. ing view of the height bar as you pass underneath it.

The Santa Fe XL comes at a time when Hyundai needs a strong seven-seater in its model portfolio.

By keeping the outer dimensions tight and the inner ones enough for seven, Hyundai’s 2013 Santa Fe seems to have found the perfect people mover solution.

NEW HOME SHOWCASE ▼ OF PRIME INTEREST

Importance of mortgage brokers in maintaining healthy market balance

I

n the next few years we could find that the broker channel proves essential to maintaining a healthy mortgage market balance.

Heightened competition generally leads to better mortgage products, more choice and lower prices.

Interestingly, competition doesn’t always lead to the lowest rate or best deal in the mortgage and banking markets.

Getting the lowestcost mortgage also takes research. When a consumer chooses to work with a mortgage broker

they are outsourcing this research (i.e., comparison shopping) to a qualified expert.

The broker then uses his or her knowledge of the market, access to multiple lenders and evaluation of the client’s unique needs to identify suitable options.

On average, brokers deal with approximately six lenders for each client.

These lenders all vie for the client’s business and, in turn, recent studies have found consumers who use mortgage brokers save an average of 19 basis points on their inter-

est rate. That equates to the difference between a rate of 3.49 per cent and a rate of 3.68 per cent.

It’s surprising then that CMHC’s latest mortgage consumer survey found that a whopping 73 per cent of mortgage consumers still choose to not use a broker. In large part this may be due to a lack of awareness about what brokers really do.

In 2005, a report was released titled Structure Of The Canadian Housing Market and Finance System. In it, Virginie Traclet, assistant chief of the Bank of Canada,

wrote, “As competition in the housing finance market became more intense…Canadian consumers benefited from increasing choice in terms of rate and term options and payment features for their mortgage loans.”

She named virtual banks and mortgage brokers as the market’s new competitors.

Evidence shows that a strong broker market keeps lenders competitive and is in the best interest of consumers.

A case in point is a report from the Bank of Canada that found bor-

rowers are more likely to use a broker when there are many lenders. When there are many lenders the benefits of working with a broker are potentially higher since they have access to more options.

Additional evidence comes from a separate Bank of Canada’s finding that banks do not treat all customers the same.

Banks, for example, offer larger discounts to new customers than existing customers. They do so to maximize profits when faced with reduced competition.

Canada has long been

considered a country that puts the wellbeing of the collective ahead of the individual.

Out of all the reasons to support and work with a mortgage broker perhaps the most compelling is that consumers are better off when the broker channel is strong.

History has shown that a formidable broker channel promotes lender transparency. This results in more aggressive pricing for all consumers and not just the best negotiators. Today, broker share hovers near 30 per cent.

One could imagine the savings to consumers if that number was closer to 50 per cent. The best fiveyear rate is currently 3.49 per cent.

Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of mortgage professionals Trish Balaberde 250-470-8324 (trishb@kelownahomemortgages.ca), Darwyn Sloat 250-718-4117 (dsloat@kelownahomemortgages.ca), Kristin Rosdal: 250-878-3007 (kristin@kelownahomemortgages.ca) and Christine Hawkins 250-8262001 (christine@kelownahomemortgages.ca).

▼ BUILDING

Materials have improved Building from B14 thermal bridging to deliver even temperatures throughout the house.

Mold and mildew associated with wood structures are also eliminated.

Peace and quiet: Sol-

id concrete isan effective sound barrier.

It dampens sound vibrations from outside noise, such as traffic, trains, and neighborhood parties.

Internal peace and quiet is a sheer bonus.

Rock solid investment: It is generally expected that a stronger, safer, greener home – and one that is more durable, cost efficient and needs less maintenance and repair – will steadily increase in resale value.

Building technology answers threat posed by climate change

Meteorologists say 2012 was the 16th year in a row that saw higher than normal temperatures across Canada—and even for those who still question the science of climate change, the devastating impact of raging fires, crippling drought and more powerful storms are a fact.

Depending on what happens in the next 10 to 15 years, Canadian infrastructure is a key concern.

As seen after Hurricane Sandy in the US last year, the potential damage to public and private buildings from extreme wind, fire and flooding could cost in the billions of dollars.

“Infrastructure solutions are already here,” said Todd Blyth at Nudura, a leading name in building with insulated concrete forms.

The newest home

building technology is solving energy costs and wind damage at the same time.

The standard wood frame used in buildings can now be replaced by a reinforced concrete system, known as ‘insulated concrete forms’. This ICF technology gives homeowners improved indoor comforts too.

“Opting to build your house with concrete instead of wood will immediately give you a home with greater impact resistance, specifically to withstand winds of up to 250 miles per hour,” said Todd Blyth at Nudura, a leading name in the supply of insulated concrete forms.

“The ICF system interlocks, like Lego, to create one monolithic wall with a thickness from four to 12 inches, all of which also provides superior fire

protection, sound resistance, temperature control and additional occupant comforts. Better still, this type of insulation and durability can save you up to 70 percent on your energy bills. You get a far stronger house—and it comes with a warm and inviting atmosphere.”

The aesthetic beauty inside and out is also important on the list of dream home features, Blyth points out and adds that a concrete home can be designed for brick, or for more creative finishes like stone, stucco, wood siding and more, just like a traditional house.

Inside, many innovative architectural shapes like arches, bay windows or specific door styles— can be easily achieved.

“Building the walls with concrete is an option that needs to be decided early in the planning,” he

continued. “The system discards wood framing in favour of pre-assembled, interlocking concrete forms.” The benefits he says are in the details, as follows: Rock Solid Structure: If high wind in your community is a concern, data shows that a Nudura home delivers hurricane and tornado impact resistance up 250 mph – and the fire protection rating is up to 4 hours.

Lower fuel costs: Premium insulation is essential with energy costs on the rise.

Insulated concrete forms vastly reduce air infiltration (compared to wood walls) and this improves energy performance.

By combining two panels of thick (EPS) foam with the structural strength and thermal mass of concrete, the walls can

Lowering demand for

trees is good for the environment as well.

Indoor comfort: Outside cold easily travels through wood-framed walls causing thermal bridging and creating un-

comfortable chilly spots inside your home. Walls with a solid concrete core address and prevent

REAL ESTATE RUNDOWN

Ceiwen Morgan days.

Currently there are approximately 105 condominiums on the market, priced froman affordable $49,900 to as high as

$829,000.

The opportunity to become the owner of your own personal get-a-way is closer then you think.

Jennifer Black and Tim Stanfield, realtors with RE/MAX Kelowna currently have one of those jems listed on the market.

The beautifully updated one-bedroom, topfloor condo is priced at $109,900, but that’s not all. For that hot price, the

furniture is also included. One has to ask oneself how can you afford not to purchase this unit or a unit just like it.

Afraid you won’t use this condo all winter long, well there’s no concern there, as the complex it is located in allows for rentals, short- and longterm, as well as welcoming pets.

Since January 2013 there have been approximately 36 condo-

minium sales up at Big White and as winter approaches, you can bet that the number will quickly climb.

There are also 36 townhomes currently on the market in the Big White area.

These chalets are fit for the whole family and are a short walk, or drive, into the heart of the beautiful snow-covered village.

Big White receives

750 centimetres of snow on average feach year, with mild temperatures and an abundance of ski runs day and night suitable for beginner to advanced skiiers.

Big white also offers 25 kilometres of incredible Nordic trails, beautifully groomed amongst the natural surroundings.

Yes, Big White has incredible offerings as a ski resor. But another aspect you should consider

NEWS

Summer Arts Scene for Youth wraps another successful run The fourth annual summer arts school workshops program of the Summer Arts Scene For Youth in Central Okanagan Society came to what organizers called a “dazzling” culminating showcase finale Aug. 17 at George Elliot Second-

ary School and Creekside Theatre in Lake Country.

SASFY and its ever growing popular August summer arts program for youth ages 8-16 experienced a record year of student enrolment surpassing its organizers expectations this year,

Students, clad in bright yellow self-custom-designed T-shirts, along with a very supportive and enthusiastic crowd jam-packed the theatre to experience an outpouring of unique creativity in a diverse variety of arts disciplines: photography,

egg writing, culinary arts, urban and contemporary dance, native crafts, animation, mixed media, woodworking, theatre, painting, voice, quilling, adventures in clay & fashion design. Vibrant colored and bold textured art work filled the foyer along

with a SASFY fundraising arts card booth and especially designed and created student arts projects to help support the SASFY Kids Helping Kids Fund for local talented youth in financial need to participate in SASFY in 2014.

Energetic dance performances and WOW Effect photography and clever animation presentations on the big screen also entertained the audience. Plans are already underway for the fifth SASFY program in 2014 and 15 workshops, origin-

al and new are planned, SASFY executive director Claudia Kargl, said she was very pleased with this year’s workshops and her group remains committed to top quality educational arts instruction and unique creative opportunity for youth.
