Hunters say wild game meat healthier
from A1
Today’s hunters like to know where their food comes from. They believe wild game meat is better for you than that of domestic animals raised on ranches and in feedlots. “Hunting dynamics have changed. It’s now socially acceptable to be a hunter,” says Zeman. And, there are far more women who enjoy the activity today than historically, he says. As well, he points out there are long-term benefits to the health care system from people who are physically active outdoors like hunters are, even into old age. “Parents and families are getting outdoors together too. They’re spending time with friends and family outdoors. There are huge social benefits,” he notes, saying at the same time that hunters are providing healthy food for their families. General open season for hunting grouse and both white-tailed and mule deer in the Okanagan Region began Tuesday, while black bear and coyote opened the previous week and ducks and geese opened Thursday. Warm summer weather likely dampened the enthusiasm for opening day locally, but Conservation Office field supervisor Sgt. Josh Lockwood says they were out checking hunters on local back-

TEENAGED hunter Bethany Froehlich, of Peachland, receives some guidance from a mature hunter during a field day. roads this week, although few had animals yet. They are seeing more young hunters, and also more female hunters than they used to, he says, noting there seem to be more women hunting in the Okanagan than in other regions where he’s worked. At 19, Bethany Froehlich, of Peachland, has been hunting all her life. She got her hunting licence at the age of 10, when she also shot her first black bear. She is chair of the youth committee for the Okanagan for the B.C.
Wildlife Federation and sits on the board for the Okanagan. “There’s definitely been a change in the perception of hunting by young people in the past four or five years,” she says. “It’s not just about going out to kill an animal; it’s about providing organic, healthy meat for the table and it’s a way of living. It’s not barbaric. It’s part of our heritage. “It’s pretty neat that we can harvest our own food from the wild. “There’s not the social sigma there used to be.
“Sure, there are still those who don’t agree with it, but they’re fewer—especially if you’re hunting for food, not trophies.” Froehlich believes that the fact there are more women who hunt today may help to make hunting more socially acceptable. “Hunting for sustenance makes you very connected with the outdoors,” she explains. “I love being out in the bush and that connection with nature. Hunters are more connected with the natural environment; with the ecosystem they’re
in than other people are. You’re invested in those resources.” For her, it’s a lifelong interest. “It’s a part of who I am,” she says. Her whole family has hunted and enjoyed outdoors activities for her whole life and now her friends hunt too.
MONEY-MAKER TOO
It’s also a sport that brings in significant funds to provincial coffers. A report published earlier this summer detailing the Expenditures of B.C. Resident Hunters showed that hunters from
the Okanagan spent $26 million last year on hunting, including on equipment and lodging, fuel and food, while those who hunted in the Okanagan Region spent $29 million. And across the entire province, $230 million was spent by resident hunters in B.C. last year, so the sport contributes significantly to the provincial economy. They are figures that Zeman feels local chambers of commerce would be surprised by. See Hunters A6
A series of articles in the academic International Journal of Environmental Studies, published online this past June, focuses on the North American Model of Conservation, which is based on the use of hunting for wildlife management. One of the articles was written by James Heffelfinger, of the Arizona Game and Fish Department, Valerius Geist, a professor Emeritus of Environmental Science at the University of Calgary, and William Wishart, wildlife research biologist emeritus, Alberta Sustainable Resource Development, on the role of hunting in North American wildlife conservation. They note that the continent-wide agreement on policies of conservation of a century ago have worked extremely well as North America “enjoys a nearly complete compliment of native predators and prey species. Hunters have been the cornerstone of this success from the beginning.” They state that hunters not only bring the funds and advocacy to the table, but also are effective logistical agents of popu-

Major change in firearms ownership, says gunsmith
‘‘
Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
There’s been a distinct change in the types of people buying firearms since 9-11. Traditionally, hunters bought firearms, as did target shooters, and people who were simply passionate about firearms. While they still buy firearms, there’s a new breed of purchaser who say they just want to target practice. However, according to Chris Weber, owner of Weber and Markin Gunsmiths in Kelowna, who has 34 years of experience in the industry here, today
A LOT OF TODAY’S PURCHASERS DON’T EVEN HAVE A HUNTING LICENCE. Chris Weber, gunsmith
half his sales are of handguns. Weber is one of only three gunsmiths in Canada with the level of qualifications he has as a gunmaker, and he is a member of the American Custom Gunmakers Guild. He doesn’t just sell
firearms, he lovingly creates and restores them from pieces of wood and iron, sometimes rusted iron and pitted and scratched wood, along with his gunsmith partner Steve Markin. “A lot of today’s purchasers don’t even have a hunting licence,” he notes. Until about five years ago, the 25-year-old Kelowna gunsmithing business mainly did specialty, custom gunsmithing work for customers from across the country. Today, the retail sale of new and used firearms has out-paced that work, says Weber, with the biggest increase in the past
couple of years in handguns. “We’re very influenced by the buying habits of the U.S. and firearms sales in the U.S. have soared in recent years, to the point where it’s now very difficult to get powder and bullets and some ammo, even here,” noted Weber. While hard-core firearms afficionados might have considerable sums of money tied up in their hobby, most hunters continue to purchase basic rifles that aren’t worth a lot of money, he added. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Economic impact of hunting

source management regions in the province and the second most hunting activity. In all, 1.2 million days were spent hunting in B.C. by resident hunters last year, and 10,400 hunters live in the Okanagan. The number of licensed hunters has risen in recent years, up from a low of 84,000 in 2004 to 98,000 in 2012, but it’s a far cry from the 174,088 who were licensed in 1981. Of the 98,000 who were licensed last year, about 92 per cent were men. Tom Ethier is a wildlife biologist and is assistant deputy minister for resource stewardship in the Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Ministry. He notes that hunting’s role in the economy is particularly felt in rural areas of the province. “It’s a re-distribution of money that keeps the economy going, especially in the shoulder season,”

Tom Ethier he says. In addition, licence revenues support government services as do taxes paid on the goods used for hunting. Although all hunting licence fees currently go into general government revenue there is a move to have that changed so that licence fees go into management of the resource instead. Zeman is adamant that those funds should go into providing staff so B.C. has the capacity to properly manage the resource. Both staff and budgets have been slashed in recent years. In addition to regular licence fees, there are surcharges on licences which go to the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation for use in restoration and research projects to help in management of wildlife and habitat. That’s about
$5 million to $6 million a year. On the environmental side, Ethier says hunting plays a role in the sound management of populations of wildlife within the carrying capacity of the land; it helps regulate populations. It can even play a role in recovery of declining populations by reducing the competition between species in order to help a declining species turn around. Opening seasons on prey can also have impacts, such as helping a vulnerable species recover, he noted. A less-obvious benefit from hunting is the education about the natural environment it provides to those who participate, he said. “It puts people in touch with nature. You’re not just driving through (the natural area). Hunting forces you to connect to the natural environment and it engenders a sense of responsibility,” he explained. “Hunters have a deep history of caring about environmental issues. Even beyond the awareness of biologists, hunters go out in the field and think about what they’re seeing so they can understand
the animal and its life. It’s a tremendous education; one that’s far more than theory,” he added. Where hunting is disallowed by local bylaws you also see a move toward more human/wildlife conflicts, he noted. In communities such as Cranbrook and Grand Forks, where a cull of deer was approved after too many moved into town and began threatening homeowners and their gardens—trappers and shooters were employed instead of hunting regulations used to reduce the population. Hunting as a tool used humanely and sustainably, is a benefit to all concerned, says Ethier. “Hunting maximizes the benefit. It’s a big challenge for wildlife management to deal with wildlife conflicts in communities,” he added. He sees a reversal of the trend of opposition to hunting because people are becoming fed up with Bambi trotting through their well-tended gardens and eating their rosebuds. That has tipped the scales in favour of hunting, he believes. “Sometimes awareness brings about a change in attitude,” he adds. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

CLOSE-UP
Hunting found a success in managing wildlife numbers in North America Academics from A3 lation management. They wrote: “The early days of North American wildlife management were spent stopping declines of those species the human population found useful in some way and encouraging population growth with limited seasons, male-only hunting, daily bag limits and other restrictions. “As successful law enforcement, habitat preservation and wildlife management programs
grew, so did most wildlife populations. Studies show that when large mammal populations are too abundant for the amount of habitat, reproduction decreases and mortality increases because of intra-specific competition for resources. “Reducing densities lessens competition and increases the population growth rate by improving reproduction and survival. “Early biologists saw this compensatory effect of harvest as evidence that game popula-
tions could be managed as a renewable natural resource where the population replaces the portion removed by hunters.” This article says although almost everyone enjoys wildlife, it is the hunters, anglers and recreational shooters who make the financial contributions that support sustainable conservation. In addition to hunted species, they also pay for conservation of habitat for non-game and endangered species who require wild habitat, to the benefit,

So many indicators to show info centre in City Park lame idea
Open letter to City of Kelowna Mayor and Council: I am not a resident of your fair city but am a periodic user of City Park, which I consider to be a gem. As such, I would like to express my deep disappointment in the fact that any serious consideration is being given to erecting a tourist information centre and the roadways that would be necessary within City Park. With the public use of Internet services for much of this type of research and thus less need for such an elaborate structure, I would have thought the idea would have died on first airing. Also, the thought of putting in additional roadways and parking, as suggested, just seems so very wrong-headed in your major

Curing a community cash crunch L ocal politicians from across B.C. are in Vancouver Sept. 16 to 20 to take part in the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. There will be trivia reported as news, such as the cost of hotels. Suggestions to license mobility scooters or lower speed limits to 40 km/h, dreamed up in Vancouver Island retirement locales, will be rejected by delegates from the rest of the province. Serious discussion will revolve around a report by a UBCM executive committee to reshape the financial relationship between the province and local governments. If this proposal gets the support it deserves, Premier Christy
Clark’s government will be asked to undo a couple of decades of political meddling in that relationship. One problem for local governments is that Tom they depend on property Fletcher tax, a stable source of revenue but one that has no relationship to the property owner’s ability to pay. It tends to load costs onto lower-income groups such as seniors and renters. Economic growth results mainly in increased corporate and personal income tax revenues as well as sales taxes, which aren’t shared with local governments. One key proposal is to return to a system of revenue sharing grants introduced by the Social Credit government
VICTORIA VIEWS
in the 1980s. They were funded by one point each from personal and corporate income tax and six per cent of sales, fuel and resource tax revenues, thus increasing in years when provincial revenues were strong. The UBCM proposal is to put a share of provincial revenues into an infrastructure bank, to be distributed by the organization on a more stable basis. Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard, one of the authors of the report, uses a basketball analogy to describe the current system of federal-provincial grants for road and bridge projects. It’s a “jump ball,” where communities have to apply to a fund when it’s offered and then see who gets it. Even if a community wins the jump ball, they may find themselves with costs inflated by a hot construction market and an arbitrary deadline to get
the job done. Then there are new regulations imposed by senior governments. The most dramatic example these days is a 2020 federal deadline for Greater Victoria to construct land-based sewage F treatment. Even with federal and provincial cost sharing, this project is going e to land heavily on property tax bills, in- f cluding those of pensioners and poor e renters who will have it passed on to o them. g Leonard points to another arbitrary system, provincial facilities that pay t grants in lieu of property taxes. Saan- c ich is home to the University of Vic- c toria, a community of 25,000 people a that needs water and sewer service, as fl well as police and fire protection.

Hopefully, doctors will prescribe managed exercise in the near future To the editor: How fortunate we are to have the Research Group at the School of Health and Exercise Sciences at UBC. I have COPD with 35 per cent lung capacity left at age 72. I had difficulty getting my breath when I walked my puppy. I was so lucky and am grateful to have been accepted for a program that
studies the effects of exercise on the cardiovascular system in people with COPD. This study is being conducted by some really wonderful people at the Centre for the Heart Lung and Vascular Health and is supported by more wonderful people at the regional hospital. After two months of exercise three times a week for about an hour
each time, managed by exercise physiologists, my overall cardiovascular health has improved by an amazing 10 per cent. I have so much energy and hardly lose my breath now. Side benefits include pain reduction not related to the lungs and a much more positive outlook. They did what medication can’t do—built
stamina and taught me how to help myself. I believe it has not only prolonged my life but gives me a quality of life I no longer had. Golfing again is pretty darn exciting. Perhaps in the near future doctors will also prescribe exercise, managed of course, for folks with COPD and other ailments. I believe it will not
only improve health but also reduce hospital emergencies and stays and therefore medical costs. If people here have an opportunity to help Research Projects at UBC and to help themselves by participating, I sincerely hope they will. Carol Jones, West Kelowna

Lake Country ArtWalk a delight to take part in To the editor: As a participating artist, I wish to comment on the amazing success of the20th annual Lake Country ArtWalk. Thousands of people attended ArtWalk, and enjoyed the diversity of original art works of over 300 artists, experienced the phenomenal entertainment, viewed the unique quilt show, and observed art in the making. It was wonderful to have met so many of the supportive people who attend this event and live in Lake Country, and observe entire families taking pleasure in the many different aspects of the arts.
I was surprised at the vast distance people travelled to attend ArtWalk—from Edmonton, Calgary, and Vancouver. There was also a big turn out from Kelowna, West Kelowna, Penticton, Vernon, Oliver, Osoyoos, Salmon Art, Summerland and Peachland. As a participating artist it was exciting to mix and mingle with so many talented artists at the reception on Saturday evening, and hear their personal praises and tributes describing Sharon McCoubrey and the dedicated, friendly, ArtWalk committee members. This event was also great for the business community. We stayed at the Super 8 mo-
tel, visited the Lake Country Art Gallery and enjoyed coffee and goodies at the Lake Country Coffee House. Most artists took advantage of the local accommodation, shops and restaurants. Without a doubt this was the very best art show due to the warm welcome from the community, the outstanding number of people in attendance, and the exceptional camaraderie between art volunteers and artists. We are now really looking forward to being a part of ArtWalk 2014. Thank you everyone. Dorothy Tinning, Penticton

Cultural experiences are going under the radar To the editor: This is not about a Visitor Centre in City Park or HOV lanes but about bringing pleasure to many who are obviously unaware. As one of the 10 people experiencing an amazing event on Sept. 7 at the Orchard Plaza Cineplex, I count myself very fortunate. It was a live feed by satellite of the BBC Last Night of
the Proms 2013. Marin Alsop, an American conductor, became the first women to conduct this special event. Nigel Kennedy, the most unusual violinist you will ever see, and Joyce DiDonato, a superb American soprano, starred. This program was broadcast live to thousands around the world and people gathered in massive numbers in
Hyde Park, Belfast and Caephilly to experience it outdoors on big screens. Where were all the music lovers of Kelowna? We only get a few of these Front Row Centre events because of such poor audience attendance. Vernon gets more than we do. Let’s make this change. This week Saturday, Sept. 14 at 12.55 p.m. you can see Becoming Traviata where French sop-
rano Natalie Dessay takes us from the beginning to the premiere. People, please come and support these amazing cultural performances. We will also be getting 10 operas showing live performances direct from the Metropolitan Opera House in New York starting Oct. 5, at 9:55 a.m., with Eugene Onegin. These operas star the best in the world and you
see interviews, backstage movement and closeups you would never see anywhere else. I do not own shares in Cineplex or the Met Opera I just would like Kelowna citizens, music students and theatre lovers to be aware of what wonderful things they can experience right on their own doorstep.

▼ IRVING MURDERTRIAL
Witness says shooting odd
Cheryl Wierda
CONTRIBUTOR
A day before murder victim Brittney Irving’s drug deal with boyfriend “Joey” was supposed to go down, she told her brother she and Joey were going shooting as part of the deal. Joze Macculloch told the court that Irving was going to leave the marijuana for the deal in the back of her Explorer in an area around Big White and then ride with Joey to make the deal. “They’d go out and shoot some guns and come back,” Macculloch remembers being told about the planned deal. Macculloch testified he was confused about the shooting plan, because it “didn’t sound like the normal procedure.” Normally, one would go to a quiet place and not attract attention, he said. But when he expressed misgivings, “she just drove it into me that Joey was all good and I had nothing to worry about.” Macculloch never met Irving’s boyfriend. It is alleged that “Joey” is Joelon Verma, the man currently on trial in connection to Brittney’s death. She disappeared on April 6, 2010, the day the drug deal was to take place. Her body was found in a wooded area of McCulloch Forest Service Road on April 26, 2010 and a forensic pathologist testified it was likely she was shot twice in the back before falling to the ground and being shot in the chest and abdomen as the shooter stood at her feet. Dr. Charles Lee posited that scenario Thursday when asked to tell the court the order of Irving’s gunshot wounds . Lee testified he couldn’t say which wound she suffered first, but the trajectory of the wounds suggested Irving
was shot in the back as she stood and lying as she suffered wounds to the front of her body. Each of the four shots would have been fatal, he said. Irving’s left forearm was also injured, apparently from the shot that ended up in her lower chest. The arm wound exposed a bone and is “consistent” with a defensive injury, Lee said. However, under cross examination he also said the wound could have been from a fifth shot. Lee found shotgun fragments and one “relatively intact” shotgun shell in her body and while he couldn’t say exactly how far the shooter was from Irving when the shots were fired, he did say an examination of her body indicated the gunshots were “distant.” He defined that as “anything beyond two to three feet.” He couldn’t say if the
same gun fired all the shots or if the shots were fired by one or more people. Lee was also asked if he could determine when Irving had died, but he said a number of factors, particularly temperature, affect the rate of decomposition and he couldn’t make a definitive estimate. He says her decomposition indicated she was dead “at least a few days.” The Crown is alleging Irving was killed on April 6, 2010. Her body was found laying on a patch of snow nearly three weeks later. However, defence asked if the pathologist’s findings were inconsistent with her being shot a few days prior to being found, and he said they were not. Verma stands charged with first degree murder in connection to Irving’s death. The trial continues.

Winterizing your sprinkler system- removing water from the pipes, valves and sprinkler heads – is essential before freezing occurs. It’s the best way to protect your irrigation investment from potentially serious damage this winter. The most common and effective method is known as a blow out. Extreme Care must be taken when performing a blow-out. Excessive pressure can damage valves or sprinkler pipe or cause physical injury from flying debris. Never stand over irrigation pipes, sprinklers or valves during this process and it is recommended to use a reputable irrigation contractor to perform the blowout. When choosing a contractor, price should not be your determining factor. An incorrectly performed blowout can result in expensive repairs in the spring. Choose a contractor who is established in your area, they will be around in the spring if you have problems. Most reputable contractors will fix any problems caused during the blowout in the spring under warranty. Book your blowout with a reputable firm soon to avoid having to wait for your blowout too late in the season. Most contractors cannot warranty a blowout done too late in the season as damage may have occurred from the colder temperatures, rather than their procedures. If you have any questions or wish to have us recommend a contractor, please drop by to see us or call us.

’m not sure why I can’t shake the brief and non-exciting moment from my brain. Its memory lingers like a persistent flu bug or unreachable itch. I have no idea what her name was. My best guess would place her at around age 20, of average height and average appearance—whatever that means. All I know is she ordered two packs of Players Special, smiled politely, and left the store. The entire exchange lasted perhaps 15 seconds and yet it felt like a full two minutes that I stood there and bit my tongue. As most readers comprehend—biting my tongue on saying what I think is not a common occurrence for me. But I did. I wanted to scream out, “Don’t do it girl, don’t buy those cigarettes.” But I didn’t. I wanted to yell at the cashier, “Don’t do it sir, don’t sell her those bloody cigarettes, dummy up and stop killing people.” But I didn’t. Instead, I did the Canadian thing, “politely” shut up and minded my business. I reminded myself to keep that personal promise not to lecture people about cigarettes. As a young man, I quickly tired and became very annoyed with my mother who would constantly nag me,with worried heart, not to turn to cigarettes as she had. “My sweet Charlie-boy, please do as I say and not as I do—and stop smoking. I don’t want you to damage yourself like I have. I don’t want you to kill yourself with cigarettes.” But I didn’t. I didn’t listen and I didn’t quit—or at least not soon enough. Now those cigarettes are killing me slowly and it is no fun. It was that specific lack of fun that motivated me to stop in the store. I needed to borrow a phone book to call my appointment and inform them I was going to be late. The battery in my car was dead and so I had decided to walk to our meeting. After all, it was only about six or eight blocks away through my neighbourhood and down lovely Bernard Avenue. However, the reality of how bad my lungs are from advanced emphysema had not sunk in that morning before I left
HODGE the house, and so I bravely PODGE set off for the ‘short’ walk.
Within two blocks I knew there was no way I would make the appointment in time. Stopping once a block Charlie to fight for air was slowing Hodge me down dramatically. As I leaned against a telephone pole trying to get some oxygen in me cars drove by with drivers staring at me like I was a drunk or a junkie hanging on to simply stay standing. I wanted to wave my handicap driver’s sign so people would know—but I realized at that particular point I really didn’t give a damn what anyone thought. Fighting for air is a terrifying feeling. It is hard to describe the thoughts that run through your brain when you actually think you may never get any air again and that you are literally about to die on the spot. Some may claim to have an Earth-shattering awareness overcome them at that point, or an epiphany of wisdom. Not me—all I recall is terror and fear and a desperate prayer that comes out as “Please, please let me breathe.” Once the young lady was done and gone from the store I looked at the remainder of the long line of lottery ticket and cigarette purchasers ahead of me and decided I was best to simply keep walking slowly rather than wait to ask to borrow a phone book they probably did not even have. As I slowly wandered down the street again, I started contemplating my situation. How had I been so stupid as to get myself to that point? My father’s old line—“Too soon old too late smart”—kept playing in my brain. I hated my dad because he was always right. I thought about how in two weeks I will once again venture down to the lung transplant clinic in Vancouver and meet with specialists there to discuss whether or not I will qualify for a double lung switcharoo. Either way I am scared. I am afraid of not qualifying and then slowly suffocating and I am afraid I will qualify and then go through all of the not fun challenges of surviving (or not) such an operation. I am also afraid I am not actually brave enough to face either.

Smoking’s diseased outcome left gasping for air Hodge from A12 And I am mad. Mad I never listened to my mom or anyone else that warned me about smoking. Like anyone so young, I simply figured that I would be the exception, that I would be immune to side effects of sucking cigarettes into my body. I am also mad that no one can really say for sure how or when I got emphysema.
There used to be the theory that emphysema was solely due to smoking but that is certainly no longer the case. The causes of emphysema now include genetics, environment, exposure to chemicals, etc. Since my mother died of emphysema and my brother now has it, there is certainly that factor to be considered. I also spent 20 years in photography darkrooms sucking in toxic fumes.
The list goes on. As I leaned against a bus stop for air two blocks down the road, I saw a newspaper lamenting the latest debate about legalizing marijuana. The irony of the latest debate rattled in my head. Regardless of one’s position it’s absurd that the same government dictates that one bad habit should be illegal and the other not. There is no logic that smoking pot should be

A dumb bad choice. I’m not sure that if cigarettes were illegal that would have stopped me from starting. Sadly—laws do not regulate logical, smart actions by others. And sadly, neither do wise words by a mother, or even a total stranger. All of which I guess is my way of saying that I probably should have said something in the store to

Hunters finding more deer in backyards than in the wild TRAIL MIX
Judie Steeves
I
t’s frustrating for Okanagan hunters to go out hunting for the day, only to come home and find there are deer and bears and quail roaming all over their own backyards—some of them legal to shoot, but not in a residential neighbourhood. Not only do I see deer of all ages in my yard nearly every day, but now I’m also seeing bears almost every day, and I’d much rather not. Sure, I chase most of them out when I catch them, but they still keep coming back or they wander by in the middle of the road, often in full daylight. I’m reliant on some of my neighbours to stop putting out their garbage all week for the bears to snack on. Incidentally, if you plan a hunt in the Cherryville area, you’re asked to save your deer heads, minus antlers, from MU 8-23 and drop them off for sampling at Frank’s General Store at Sugar Lake Road and Highway 6 in Cherryville in the

Smith happy as a solo act Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
When Dallas Smith sits down to either write or select his first country ballads, he’ll be focused on lyric and melody, he says. Unlike his days as the lead singer of hit Vancouver post-grunge band Default, it will be more of a solo effort—or a collaboration with his producer Joey Moi, producer for Nickelback. Gone are the days of four guys with guitars working through a new album. “I’m pretty happy with where I am right now,” he says, when asked if he’ll ever return to the hard riffs that helped him sell over a million records in Canada. That said, he’s probably not through the learning curve on his switch into the country genre just yet. While he earned himself a full song performance on the Canadian Country Music Awards last Sunday, following his vignette as a new star on the CCMAs last year, he’s also heard the complaints about his first album, Jump Right In. And he appears to be owning it. Right off the top in this interview, he jumps into comments from critics like Henry Lees of
CONTRIBUTED
DALLAS SMITH welcomes the learning curve as he switches from post-grunge into a country music singer/songwriter. TopCountry.ca who said “it wouldn’t have hurt the project to have at least one tender, acoustic ballad in the mix,” in his 2012 review, saying he’s starting the ballad project right now. At the time, he was listening to the radio and thinking it was pretty solidly ballads he was already hearing on Canadian country stations and he wanted to bring something more high-energy to the table.
DESIGNED WITH SAFETY IN MIND
This is what he likes to perform and performance is what got him started in music. “I just wanted to get over the fear of singing in front of people,” he said. Today he still prefers performance over writing and he’s developing quite the twang twist for his music career. Smith grew up in a house where his mother played country and his father played classic rock and at 37 years of age, with a wife and
son of his own, he says he finds he’s listening to a blend of both. The professional change followed what was pouring out of his own stereo and he hasn’t looked back since. Dallas Smith plays the Kelowna Community Theatre on Saturday, Sept. 28 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available through Select Your Tickets, selectyourtickets.com, for $32.50. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com
John McDermott can recall the precise moment when he realized that giving up his day job and making singing his fulltime career had been the right decision. That moment came at 8 p.m. on Oct. 5, 1993 at the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium in Halifax as he walked on stage to a full house and a thunderous East Coast welcome. It was his first concert with his own band, after a year as the opening act for the internationally renowned Irish group, The Chieftains. He was received with such wild encore-inducing enthusiasm the concert turned into a fourhour marathon. John was hooked. Now, 20 years and more than 25 albums later, McDermott is an international recording star and household name. Besides his stellar musical career—platinum, double-platinum, triple-platinum albums and multiple Juno nominations—he is also known for his commitment to veterans’ causes—the US Congressional Medal of Honour Society’s Bob Hope Award, the Ted Williams Globe & Anchor Award from the USMC, and, here at home, a commendation from the Minister of Veteran’s Affairs for this ongoing work, which includes his foundation McDermott House Canada, which is dedicated to improving care in the final stages of terminal illness and providing a warm, welcoming place to stay for Canada’s

JOHN MCDERMOTT performs in Kelowna Oct. 25 veterans, military, first responders and their families. In concert, whether he is sharing the stage with a topnotch group of musical friends or touring the world as part of the famed Three Irish Tenors, McDermott continues to enchant audiences with his beautiful tenor voice and sensitive renditions. Though time and travel have introduced him to a wealth of new material and experiences, he manages to incorporate that diversity into his performances, while retaining the charm and humour that endeared him to audi-
ences from the beginning. For this 20th Anniversary National Tour—a two decade retrospective—McDermott will highlight a variety of songs from his early recordings through his latest releases.

Anthology of Sly & Family Stone tells story of this seminal American band JOHN LEGEND: LOVE IN THE FUTURE (COLUMBIA) I loved the last John Legend album he recorded with the band The Roots, perhaps best known now as the house band for Jimmy Fallon. It was titled Wake Up! and it was an all-cover album of civil rights songs from the ’60s, mostly by artists that did not enjoy huge success like, for example, Sam Cooke and his divine smash hit People Get Ready. But Wake Up! was a collaboration album and involved outside material. This new Legend offering is his first studio album of original songs since his 2008 long player titled Evolver that scored the big crossover hit Green Light. Legend enjoyed a minor hit from his soundtrack contribution to Think Like A Man with the song Tonight (Best You Ever Had) which has
SOUNDING OFF
Bruce Mitchell kept him in the spotlight and helped whet the appetite for this new release. Love In The Future has made its debut at the lofty No. 4 spot this week on the Billboard sales charts and continues John Legend’s run in popularity. This new disc is completely different in tone than the social consciousness of Wake Up! with a hot and heavy boudoir album made as a soundtrack for making babies. The first song, The Beginning, samples Sarah Bareilles and features the lyric “even though the world is crazy...start picking names” to a slow and spare sultry ballad.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2013 – 7 PM VERNON AND DISTRICT PERFORMING ARTS CENTRE Tickets available through The Ticket Seller.
The feature song for airplay is the mid-tempo Made To Love, co-written (as are a few other songs) with Kanye that has a definite Cee Lo ring to it, while Legend explores the notion that he and his mate might be space aliens come to help populate the planet. The other feature track going by the add-on sticker is Who Do We Think We Are with a rap from ultra slob Rick Ross that samples the early ’70s
SLY & THE FAMILY STONE: HIGHER! (EPIC)
Stax smash Mr. Big Stuff by Jean Wright that harkens slightly back to the psychedelic soul of that era. In spite of this psychsoul and the sci-fi leanings of Made To Love this is a mostly “lets light some candles” album ripe at 16 tracks but seems somehow to miss out on a, shall we say, climactic closing out hit single.

Until this week the very best collection of Sly & The Family Stone’s music you could get was a 1981 double album simply titled Anthology that was later released on CD as well. But Higher! The Best Of The Box, is a four-disc collection that really tells

the story of this seminal and stellar American soul/ rock/pop/funk multifaceted outfit. Sly & Family had a very uncertain early career and did not enjoy a big hit until their fourth album and the smash Dance To The Music. So this new all-encompassing collection starts off with many fine songs from their early days when Sly & co. were making great music that was, for the most part, greatly overlooked. But what a terrific body of work. Songs from the late ’60s and early ’70s (Woodstock also helped make the band a household name) such as Everyday People, Stand, Family Affair, M’Lady, Thank You (Falettineme Be Mice Elf Agin), Hot Fun In The Summertime, Everybody Is A Star, I
Want To Take You Higher, etc., are as relevant today as ever especially with so many hip hop artists sampling Sly’s superb mixes. This also comes as a

Gloria Estefan has done like so many of her contemporaries by tackling the Great American Songbook. I suppose Rod Stewart is the most notorious with his multi-album efforts of evergreen songs from yesteryear. But Estefan’s effort is so much better for the great musicians she has hired, whereas Stewart often relied on cost-cutting synthesized backdrops. Estefan works with a small combo of seasoned session and jazz musicians that includes Dean Parks on guitar, Shelly Berg on piano, Chuck Berghofer on bass along with the Miami Symphonic Studio Orchestra. I also noted that, instead of choosing the album title Standards, Estefan has decided on The Standards as most of the tunes on this generous 13-track CD are indeed extremely well known classics. Most of the songs are from the ’20s and ’30s with recognizable titles such as Embraceable You, I’ve Grown Accustomed To His Face, Young At Heart, You Made Me Love You and What A Wonderful World—the later being the hardest to cover since Louis Armstrong’s definitive take from the Good Morning Vietnam soundtrack. However, some of Estefan’s covers are just a tad too moody with a gravitas that seems to miss the nudge and a wink of a song like They Can’t Take That Away From Me and the promise of a brighter future in What A Difference A Day Makes. However, Estefan glows in her interpretation of Charlie Chaplin’s angelic Smile as sung in Spanish for her huge Latin base. Meanwhile, there is a cool jazzy element to The Day You Say You Love Me with a superb violin solo from guest Joshua Bell while sax player David Koz offers a fine solo to the more breezy The Way You Look Tonight. In the large and growing catalog of Great American Songbook albums, Gloria Estefan has provided a worthwhile contribution and I’m willing to bet that The Standards gives Estefan her eighth Grammy next year.

MLA’S REPORT
Norm Letnick
n Saturday, Sept. 14, at 1 p.m., I am resuming my Focus on Health panel conversations about health in our community. Each panel discussion takes on a different issue, and with the help of a few talented and experienced experts, we spend time going through how you can keep yourself and your family as healthy as possible. This is the seventh in my ongoing series of panel discussions on health issues important to residents in the Central Okanagan. Don’t take your eyes for granted. Come and learn what you can do to prevent illnesses to the eyes and understand some of your options should they occur. Some aspects of eye health are preventative, like wearing sunglasses and seeing your optometrist about any concerns, or getting your eyes checked for problems as you age. Eye health isn’t an isolated issue, and many times a more broad health issue will be discovered early at the ophthalmologist. As we age, as most of have experienced with our parents, friends, or relatives, our eyes can develop issues. The aging process is full of challenges, but learning what to look for is the first step in maintaining healthy eyes and a high quality of life.
Bladder education A free public health workshop will take place Monday, Sept. 16, 9:30 to 11:30 a.m., at Cottonwoods Care Centre, 2255 Ethel St., in Kelowna. Hosted by the Gerontology Centre, workshop participants will learn how their bladders function and the causes of bladder incontinence. Also included is a discussion on possible remedies and lifestyle change that can help to reduce or eliminate incontinence. To register for this free workshop or for more information about the Gerontology Centre, call 250862-4131 and select Option 1.
Our three guests this week have different backgrounds, including a laser eye surgeon, Dr. Joel Casey, Harvard Graduate and specialist in age-related macular degenera-
tion Dr. Malvinder Hoonjan, and Dr. Louise Myshak, councillor for the B.C. Association of Optometrists. I’m sure there’s a great deal we can learn and take
away from these three and their breadth of experience on Saturday. Some people attending our past discussions have told me their life was changed.
I hope this discussion on eye health, disease prevention, and treatment options succeeds in helping those who attend to enjoy good vision for longer and all the beauty that
God has given us. The conversation will take place at UBCO in the Engineering, Management & Education Building, in the Lecture Theatre EME 0050.
I know your two eyes won’t want to miss this discussion. Now we just have to convince your two legs to get you there. Norm Letnick, MLA Kelowna-Lake Country.

WIGTOWN, Scotland—“You’re on the road to nowhere.” The roads were getting narrower and narrower on the drive through southwestern Scotland. We had left behind the divided highway outside Glasgow, and then, somewhere near the towns with signs saying “Haste Ye Back,” had lost the painted line down the middle of the two-lane road. For a few miles now, we had been on a onetrack road, the kind where you must back up to the last lay-by if you meet a car coming from the other direction. My mom politely suggested that it might be a good idea to turn around. Caught in the act of what was, at minimum, a six-point turn for a still jet-lagged driver getting reacquainted with driving from the passenger seat, I asked a man sent by the gods of lost travellers if we were on the road to Newton Stewart. No, we weren’t. (See first paragraph.) But he straightened

us out, and we were soon on the road to somewhere again. Specifically, the area around Wigtown, the village that has become Scotland’s national book town. I had lived in Scotland when I was young and had been back several times since, but on this trip in June, I wanted to try a new area—Galloway, and a new theme—literary Scotland. For someone seriously bookish (you know, the kind who collects old
Penguin paperbacks and judges vintage books by their covers), the idea of a town dedicated to secondhand books was thrilling. And Wigtown didn’t disappoint. The Book Shop was my favourite spot in town. Row upon row of Penguins. Higgledy-piggledy rooms, chandeliers, fireplaces and writerly things etched on the walls (“Man reading should be man intensely alive. The book should be a ball of light in one’s hands.” Ezra Pound.
Or, if you want to go another way, “Only two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.” Einstein.) But even the most bookish types have to go outside once in a while, and that is where the Machars peninsula, as the area is known, is like the plain secretary who takes off her glasses and her boss says, “Why, Miss Smith, you’re beautiful!” Rolling green fields that look more like Ire-

land than the Scotland I had known. Woodlands carpeted with wildflowers and lighted by sunbeams. A coastline that manages to look rugged and lush at the same time. Seaside villages with pastel-painted houses all in a row. We were staying at one of the more perfect places I’ve rented in my travels, with one of the better names: Cruggleton Lodge, about a 10-minute drive south of Wigtown. Sitting on the edge of a cliff, with a view of the Irish Sea and the remnants of a 12th century castle, it had been in spooky disrepair when owners Ella and Finn McCreath rescued it. Today, the interior is just as striking as the view, both modern-stylish and cozy—a hard combination to get right. The wooden floors have an inherent warmth to them, so going barefoot is sensuous. Oh, and for those who daydream of living the retro-Anglo country life, it even has an Aga stove. And did I say that it has lots of books?

Writers’ Museum honours Stevenson, Scott and Burns Scotland from A24 I’m sure I wasn’t the first visitor to look around and say I could live here. In fact, I know I’m not, because Ella told us about an American friend of hers. Get this: She had been living in L.A., working for JPL, and chucked it all to move to Wigtown. Not only did she fall in love with a local bookseller, but she also wrote a book about it—and when I was here, was in London talking about a possible movie. Looks like my spot as the book-loving Angeleno who dreams of living in a Scottish village and then writing a bestseller about it has been taken. Bummer. Luckily, I had plenty of places to drown my sorrows (not that I really had any). Scotland’s southernmost whisky-maker, Bladnoch Distillery, is just south of Wigtown. We bought a bottle of the 22-year-old single malt, and it was quite mellow, not as peaty as the whiskys from the islands to the west. Across the road from the distillery is the Bladnoch Inn, a whitewashed pub and bed-and-breakfast. Its tidy black sign informed us that fishing licenses were also available. We had lunch at a comfy window table and lived it up with a gin and tonic on a glorious bluesky day. My only regret: The wall-mounted wooden jukebox wasn’t working. Farther down the peninsula, the Steam Packet Inn in the village of Isle of Whithorn was a lovely place to have Sunday lunch. It was the first warm weekend of the year, after a long winter that saw snow falling in May, and everyone looked a bit dazed and happy as they sat in sundresses and shorts on the

After a few days of exploring the region, with its beach cave where a saint once meditated and its ancient standing stones, it was time for our next literary destination: Edinburgh. Perhaps the most famous book set in Edinburgh is Robert Louis Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, inspired by an upstanding citizen who secretly lived a lowdown life. More recently, Irvine Welsh’s Trainspotting was Mr. Hyde all the way. My favourite Edinburgh book is Muriel Spark’s The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, and my mom’s is anything from Ian Rankin’s Inspector Rebus series. The closest we got to the latter was the Oxford Bar, famous for being a Rankin favourite. Even though the pub, on a quiet street in the New Town,

The views are 360 degrees: of the castle, the extinct volcano known as Arthur’s Seat, the Firth of Forth and the truly odd assortment of memorials and buildings on the hill itself, including a halfbuilt acropolis.

The closest we got to the former was a 10-minute walk to the Old Town, and an inscription in the concrete outside the Writers’ Museum that read, “The transfiguration of the commonplace. Muriel Spark.” Right on, Ms. Spark. The museum, in a pretty little close off the Royal Mile not far from Edinburgh Castle, honours three of Scotland’s most famous writers:
Stevenson, Walter Scott and Robert Burns. Even though I’m still haunted by the memory of standing in front of my primary school class and trying to recite a poem in the local vernacular (a thing of beauty in a Scottish accent, a thing of comedy in an American one), I’m a fan of Burns’ deeply human insights.

It doesn’t come cheap, at about $300 a night, but it sleeps eight, and it would be a dreamy place for a gathering of family or friends. One day, I sat by the window in a comfy chair, torn between a book I had picked up in Wigtown and the city spread out below me, cast in the golden glow of a midsummer evening when the sun doesn’t set until nearly 11. I stared out the window awhile. Then I picked up the book and started to read.

here are as many different types of headaches as there are causes. As a practitioner, as much can be learnt from a patient history as the physical examination. When investigating headaches, it’s important to know what parts of the head is affected, where the genesis or the beginning of a headache establishes itself and what time of day the headache first presents.

low. There are many types of pillows. The best one is the one that is most comfortable for you. I use a water pillow. I like these pillows because their size is adjustable and therefore customizable for each person. You add as much or as little water as you would like in order to meet the perfect state of slumber symmetry. Many studies have clearly demonstrated that the quality of sleep is more important than the quantity. Additional studies have demonstrated that a proper pillow dictates quality of your sleep more so than your mattress. The water pillows are very nice because there are no pressure points up against your neck or head. Rather, the weight is evenly distributed throughout. In addition, it cradles your neck and head equally. Whatever pillow you choose, take time to choose well. Sleep on it. Markus Thiel is a chiropractor practicing in Kelowna.

It doesn’t necessarily have to present as a headache to be a problematic pillow. Rather, you can wake up with muscular stiffness throughout your neck and shoulders. This can have just as deleterious an effect as a headache. When I conduct a postural examination of my new patients, I have them stand in front of me while I analyze the alignment of their heads in relationship to their neck and neck in relationship to the rest of their spine. It always tends to freak them out when I say “I see that you spent most of the time sleeping on your right side with your left leg in front and over your right leg.” It’s easy to tell. Because they are spending six to nine hours in this repetitive strain posture with an improper pillow, their ligaments and muscles have now molded to the new position thinking that it is the normal state of alignment.

RapidBus construction begins Representatives from all levels of government arrived at the Westbank Hub Shopping Centre in a city bus Wednesday afternoon to celebrate the start of RapidBus construction in West Kelowna. The 15 kilometre expansion will include four new transit stations and two exchanges. Those exchanges will be located in Westbank Centre, on Elliott Road, and at Boucherie Centre, on Westgate Road between Highway 97 and Ross Road. The upgrades will provide users with faster, more frequent public
transportation. “As communities grow, services must grow with them,” said Clark. “RapidBus is one of the best and most useful ways for families, students and seniors to get around quickly and affordably.” The West Kelowna expansion is expected to be complete by next summer. The entire Kelowna RapidBus project, stretching from Westbank Centre to UBCO, will receive a total $46 million in funding, including $10.9 million from the Build-
ing Canada Fund, $6 million from the Gas Tax Fund, $23.9 million from the provincial government, $5.2 million from the City of Kelowna and West Kelowna is contributing land. “This is actually the heart of a much bigger system. We do have transit connections south to Peachland and from UBCO it does go on to Lake Country and to Vernon,” said West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater. “When this is done, you can ride much more efficiently from Peachland to Vernon.”

budgeted $543,000 for the first phase of upgrades; however, the budget was increased by $104,950 Tuesday due to an unanticipated cost of drilling the pilings into bedrock. “The sediment above the bedrock is not sufficient enough to use standard piling techniques,” said Henderson.
The second phase of improvements is expected to cost $1.5 million and will include an entry plaza with signs, seating, a refreshment kiosk, bike parking, formalized planting areas and a boardwalk connection. The phase one project will go out for tender this fall with a construction

ow that the nights are cooler and days are shorter, good planting conditions have returned. Fall is the ideal time to plant xeriscape gardens. Plants keep growing until frost and begin again as soon as the ground thaws. By summer they have a bigger, more drought-resistant root system than if they were planted next spring. All plants need water, for at least the first year, to get their roots established. However, if you have a hard to water area, choose plants that are extremely drought-tolerant and plant in the fall so little or no supplemental water will be needed next summer.
GARDENING WITH NATURE
Gwen Steele Search for extremely drought-tolerant plants suited to our climate on the plant database at www.okanaganxeriscape. org. In the water category, select ‘dry.’ It’s also time to plant spring bulbs to ensure an early, cheery start to the garden. From early March to May, order of bloom in the water-wise garden is snowdrops and winter aconite, snow crocus, grape hyacinth, scilla, and

early, mid and late season tulips and narcissus. If you want an ever increasing show, choose bulbs that naturalize (as indicated on the packaging). Grape hyacinth naturalizes very well. They are excellent for showing off white or yellow narcissus and some tulips. I love to see them with very fragrant Thalia narcissus or dwarf ‘Red Riding Hood’ tulips. If you have regular deer visitors don’t bother with tulips—they are deer candy, as opposed to Narcissus, that will not be eaten by anything. Remember to add some of the many species of Allium bulbs.

drought-tolerant. Allium moly (short and yellow) and drumstick allium (tall and purple) are two that self-seed and spread readily. To avoid excessive seeding (unless desirable), research varieties before purchasing. Allium giganteum is 48 inches tall with a large dense purple flower. It’s best grown through another plant that will bloom later as, like most alliums, its foliage dies off and looks ugly before the flower opens. If you need turf in your yard for children or pets or specific activities such as bocce ball, this is a good time to seed a new lawn. Turf is the highest maintenance, most waterthirsty landscape choice, so plant only what you need. Don’t plant lawn on slopes, under trees, on fast-draining soil, in very hot or dry places, or in hard to mow or hard to water areas. Look for seed that is a mixture of long-rooted fescue grasses, which are far more drought-tolerant than traditional Kentucky bluegrass. They are lowwater, low-mow and lowgrow thus saving a lot of work and money. A minimum of six inches of good topsoil is needed. Check www. bluestem.ca (Enviro-Turf Lawn) for seeds and instructions.. For local, drought-tolerant turf, look for EcoSmartBlend at www.ecoturffarms.com. Gwen Steele is executive director of Okanagan Xeriscape Association.

▼ ATHANS LEGACY
Competitiveness doesn’t fall far from family tree
‘‘
Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
For years, back in the day, the waters of Okanagan Lake were a playground of sorts for Kelowna’s Athans brothers, the gregarious trio of skilled skiers who were able to get to the top of their chosen sports with a blend of natural talent, determination and a fear-nothing attitude. George Jr., Gary and the late Greg Athans dominated in their chosen sports of water and alpine skiing and together with world class athlete parents Irene and George Sr., the family took up its rightful spot in the Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame in 2009 as one of the most successful sports families to ever come out of the Okanagan. And now another generation of Athans athletes is continuing the family tradition as teenagers Isaac and Marcus Athans, Gary’s kids, are following in the family footsteps of sporting success. Marcus, 13 and Isaac, 11, were members of Team Canada’s entry at the sixth Can Am Challenge water ski championships at Lake of Dreams in Jerseyville, Ill., last month, wrapping up a successful season of slalom, jump and trick events. For dad Gary, watching his two boys taking on the sports world much like he and his brothers did, is like a trip down memory lane. “I am really excited that they find such joy in participating the same way I did and my broth-

It is pretty much me reliving my childhood.” At the Can-Am Challenge, a two-day, world-record capability event that featured team competitions between Canada and the United States, the Athans boys were members of Team Canada’s six member Under-13 team. Marcus competed in slalom, jump and trick while Isaac competed in the jump events and while Marcus attained a personal best and jumped the farthest (100 feet) in the U-13 category, the US team took the team jump
title. Marcus also set a personal best in the slalom event while Isaac jumped to a personal best 68 feet
with still two years remaining in the U-13 division. While Team Canada finished second to the
US in the team events, it was the close of a stellar season on the water for the Athans boys. Isaac won the Canadian Boys
2 jump title earlier in the month at the Canadian Waterski Nationals held at Predator Bay in Calgary. This was the same title that Marcus had won the previous year. And the pair are also showing the competitive nature that led their dad and uncles to sporting success. “They are competitive which for sure runs in the family,” said Gary. “They keep reminding me that they are better already than I was at their age. The children have chosen this as a summer sport they want to pursue and as a family we all can participate including my wife who is still working on her slalom technique in the trainer course.” And Gary isn’t just watching as he has re-entered competitive skiing himself. Last season he qualified for the Canadian senior world team and competed in the jumping division at a world event in Mexico. With the competitive season now over the Athans are continuing to train on Okanagan Lake, hoping for a warm fall to continue to chase their passion, just as their family has done for decades in the Okanagan. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Rockets get CHL mention outside top rank
As the Kelowna Rockets prepare for the start of the 2013-14 Western Hockey League’s regular season, the Canadian Hockey League this week released its pre-season team rankings. The Rockets, who won a club-record 52 games last season, are one of three clubs to earn honourable mention, outside the top 10. The OHL’s London Knights are ranked No. 1, while the Portland Winterhawks are the topranked WHL club in the third slot. Also making the list from the WHL are the Prince Albert Raiders (6), Edmonton Oil Kings (8), and Kootenay Ice (10). The Rockets open the regular season Friday, Sept. 20 in Kamloops against the Blazers. The teams will complete a home-and-home set the following night as Kelowna plays its home opener at Prospera Place.

Warriors hunt for first Chiefs host Osoyoos Saturday points this weekend
▼ KIJHL
The Kelowna Chiefs open up their fourth season of play in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League this weekend, starting with a Friday night road game before hosting their home opener Saturday at the Rutland Arena. Kelowna opens the KIJHL regular season in Princeton before its home opener on Saturday against Osoyoos in a rematch of last year’s playoff series, won by Osoyoos. The Chiefs return 10 players from last year’s club that won the KIJHL’s Okanagan Division with a 35-15-1-1 record but lost in the second round of the playoffs. Among the returning players is Jordan Salahor, a Kelowna native who has been with the Chiefs since day one in Kelowna. Last season the 5-foot-9 for-
Jordan Salahor ward led the KIJHL in scoring and this year will lead what looks to be the most skilled team to hit the ice in Rutland. “It’s a little different team for us than what we have had in our first three years,” said head coach Ken Andrusiak. “We’re built on skill and we don’t have too many bangers and crashers. We’re got 10
guys back from last year and we’re happy with how our recruiting went. Now we just have to play the games.” Salahor will team with returning forward Nick Josephs, a Calgary native who had 76 points in 41 games last season, to form a potent one-two attack offensively. The Chiefs will also be bolstered by
a veteran netminder as 20-year-old Tyler O’Donnell is back for his third season with the team. With the Chiefs already having played three seasons in the KIJHL, Andrusiak says they are happy with the way the club has become part of the Rutland community. “I think we’re very well established in Rutland especially,” he said. “Our fan base is expanding and Rutland has really embraced us from the sponsors to the fans to Rutland Secondary and UBC Okanagan.” The Chiefs will again partner with the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club and take part in a variety of public events throughout the season. Tickets are available for the team’s home opener at the door or by contacting the Chiefs office at 250-862-8020.
After going winless at the annual B.C. Hockey League showcase last weekend, the West Kelowna Warriors will go looking for its first points of the regular season this weekend with a home and home series against the Merritt Centennials. Despite outshooting their opponents a combined 88 to 40 in losses to Surrey and Nanaimo last weekend, the Warriors lost both games. Head coach/GM Rylan Ferster wasn’t hitting any panic buttons this week but said it’s important that the team get in the win column this weekend. “You never want to go (winless) for a weekend so I think we are somewhat behind the eight ball,” said Ferster as the Warriors got set for its home opener on Friday night at Royal LePage Place (7 p.m.). “I don’t think we can go through this weekend and come out with nothing. We have to get after it. Looking
back to last weekend we weren’t totally disappointed in the way we played. But we didn’t get the wins and that’s the bottom line.” Ferster pointed to the team’s special teams as something that needed to improve heading into the second weekend of the BCHL regular season. Last season the Warriors had the second best power play unit in the BCHL but on opening weekend the team managed just one goal on 12 chances while allowing three power play goals against on nine chances. “Our special teams need to be better and we worked on that this week,” said Ferster. “I think that’s where we had our trouble last weekend. Special teams are so big. A lot of times the team that wins the special teams battle wins the game.” Merritt went 1-1-0-0 at the BCHL Showcase and arrives in West Kelowna after being oust-
ed by the Warriors in last year’s BCHL playoffs. With a rivalry established and games already taking on extra importance, Ferster says his club has to be ready for a tough weekend. “We know how hard they work,” he said of Merritt. “We watched them at the Showcase and we’ve watched them on tape. When you play a team in the playoffs that adds to the rivalry. We’re expecting it to be a very tough weekend.” The Warriors trimmed its roster this week, releasing goaltender Steven Myland, meaning newcomer Andy Desautels will carry the load as the team’s number one netminder with rookie Tanner Burgardt taking on the back-up roll. West Kelowna plays Merritt at home on Friday night before the two teams head for Merritt on Saturday night for the second half of the home and home.

Local soccer teams set for games this weekend
Thompson Okanagan tFootball Club teams were .back in action last weekend, kicking off the fall gsession of the B.C. Soc-cer Premier League season with teams taking on -Surrey United. The TOFC’s 97 girls dhad a back and forth fmatch with Surrey as the dteam’s played an evenly matched game last weekend that saw Surrey get the final goal of the game tand a 3-2 win. e TOFC opened the yscoring 16 minutes into the game on a perfectdly executed through ball -from Nikki Manwaring n(Kamloops) that allowed -Emma Johnson (Kelowsna) to outsprint the Surrey defence and slide the ball -into the back of the net for a 1-0 lead that they held eonto at the half. In the second half, TOFC goalkeeper Joella s Koblischke (Lake Counotry) made a number of tconfident stops which kept Surrey off the board until the 60th minute
when Surrey tied the game 1-1. setting the stage for a tightly contested finish to the game. Surrey went ahead 2-1 in the 70th minute but TOFC stormed back two minutes later with a great solo effort from Johnson who outpaced the Surrey backline and finished with a shot across the goalie low into the corner to tie the game 2-2. Unfortunately for TOFC. Within four minutes however Surrey exploited some space out wide and scored on a ball into the box to make the final score 3-2 for Surrey.
U-13 INTAKE GIRLS
In the first league game for the TOFC U13 Intake Girls team, the team was up against a skilled Surrey United club that jumped out to a 1-0 lead and held that lead into half-time. The TOFC girls came back strong in the second half putting a lot of pressure on Surrey. Ten min-

Sixteen minutes later, on a free kick from the Surrey corner, Young sent the ball into the penalty area. It was cleared by a Surrey defender only to have Sam Gerelle (Kelowna) return the ball back to Manwaring who spun and scored TOFCs’ second goal and a 2-1 lead for Kelowna. Surrey came back hard and with approximately four minutes remaining in the game, Surrey dribbled quickly by two of TOFCs’ defenders then skillfully beat the long reach of TOFC keeper Charlie Kampman (West Kelowna) to tie the game 2-2. Neither team was able to break the tie and the game ended 2-2.

race. Win or lose, the fivetime champ rates the 18
km journey from Knox Mountain to Quail’s Gate Estate Winery as his fa-
vourite race of the year. The 31st running of the Peak to Beak is set for Sunday, Sept. 22. “I love the route, the scenery and just the pointto-point challenge of the race,” said Haaheim, who is serving this year as the race co-director. “Regardless of the length, I like the simplicity of the race, the downhill at the start, crossing the bridge, along Campbell Road and Kalamoir Park on the Westside…it’s just a great run from beginning to end.” Because of the 18 km distance and considerable downhill trek at the beginning of the race, Haaheim said many casual, less-competitive runners tend to shy away from the event. But Haaheim says the race isn’t designed only for the ultra-competitive athlete. “Even the fastest guys aren’t going flat out on the downhill to start, so that’s a good part of the race for anyone to use as a warmup,” Haahiem said. “Once you get to the bottom of the hill, you can really enjoy the scenery from

RACE director Trevor Haaheim is hoping for well over
100 participants at this year’s Peak to Beak Run Sept. 22. there. It’s pretty pristine along the water, just a nice way to spend your morning.” As of midweek, about 65 people had signed up for the race. As a special promotion this year, the first 100 registrants will receive a full-sized bottle of Quail’s Gate wine. While 80 to 100 entries has been typical of past races, Haaheim would like to see 125 sign up for this year’s event. Lunch at Quail’s Gate
will be available for all runners following the race, while volunteers will each receive a T-shirt. The cost for the run is $30 per person. To register, visit www.interiorunningassociation.com In addition, Trevor Haaheim is offering a prerace training session on Wednesday, Sept. 18 at 6:30 a.m. For more information, call Trevor at 250-8635884.

▼ FRANKFURT MOTOR SHOW
Concepts are king in Frankfurt Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR
Frankfurt, Germany—Concept cars and trucks in all shapes, sizes
and segments dominated this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show that runs until Sept. 22. Once flights of fancy with wild interiors, mon-
strous tires and wheels and all clothed in whimsy, concepts are now harbingers of models already in the pipeline with only public reaction determin-
ing if it will come to market. There are 11 buildings where the Frankfurt show is held and most were brimming over with

JAGUAR X-C17 Based on new aluminum body architecture, the X-C17 from Jaguar is the brand’s first foray into the booming luxury sports crossover segment.

concepts, which, to me, looked only a few steps away from full production For example, take the Infiniti Q30 Concept that “signals the contemporary design vision for a compact Infiniti vehicle which will target a new generation of premium customers.” Taking design cues from Essence, Etherea and Emerg-e concepts, the Q30 is ready for the road right now. But the true concept part of the Q30 is the stunning interior, which is
what you might expect in a premium luxury sedan. Over at Kia, we saw the Niro concept, which was there “to gauge potential customer response for the future.” About the only thing it shares with current Kias is the “tiger mouth” grille. Overall it has a pugnacious, mischievous appearance featuring a mix of contrasting materials— including stainless steel elements—in compact dimensions that European buyers prize. Space limits writ-
ing about all the concepts at Frankfurt but here are some of the standouts.
AUDI SPORT QUATTRO
Combining quattro drive and a V8 engine with an Audi plugin hybrid results in a 700 hp rocket that sits on 21inch wheels with several design cues from racing quattros of the 1980s. These include the angular, flat C-pillars and the rectangular double headlights featuring Audi’s ground-

MOTORING
Lots to look at in Frankfurt Frankfurt from B1 breaking Matrix LED technology, which will be available by the end of this year in the new generation Audi A8. The LED high-beam unit of the Audi Matrix LED headlights is comprised of numerous individual diodes. The individual LEDs, which work in tandem with upstream lenses and reflectors, always deliver excellent illumination. They are activated, deactivated or dimmed individually according to the situation.
FORD S-MAX CONCEPT:
This SUV incorporates Ford’s global design language with a high mounted grille, sweptback headlamps and a unique treatment of the vehicle’s lower fascia incorporating design elements that appear to float
within the lower front aperture and above the spoiler. A standout feature is headlamps using organic LEDs—the latest lighting that offers greater flexibility in terms of positioning and design, fast response and colour range. Look for a production version sometime late next year.
JAGUAR C-X17 CONCEPT:
Jaguar caught many off guard with its first ever sports crossover concept vehicle labelled as a design study to introduce Jaguar’s all-new advanced aluminum monocoque architecture, codenamed iQ[Al]. All next generation Jaguars will use the chassis, the first of which is due in 2015. The last Jaguar concept vehicle turned out to be the F-Type sportscar
and, based on who finished it looked, the C-X17 will result in a production mid-size SUV that can take a variety of engines plus a lot of the all-wheel-drive technology borrowed from its sister company Land Rover.
LEXUS LF-NX CONCEPT:
This is yet another glimpse into a luxury compact crossover where all manufacturers are heading. Reinforcing the Lexus/Toyota leading position in full hybrid drive technology, the LFNX concept is powered by a new variant of the Lexus Hybrid Drive system tuned for SUV performance. The design continues the ‘Human Oriented’ L-finesse Lexus design language. For instance, the cabin features an upper display zone and low-

er operation zone dashboard format perfected over successive Lexus generations. This allows for intuitive interaction with the vehicle’s next generation technology, which includes touch-sensitive electrostatic switches, and a new touch pad Remote Touch Interface (RTI) design.
SMART FOURJOY CONCEPT:
JIM ROBINSON/CONTRIBUTOR
SMART FOURJOYLook ma, no doors or rear window for that matter. The smart fourjoy concept is an electric car for four people.
With seats for four, the smart fourjoy has no doors, no rear window and an open roof and has a unique rear seat bench in the style of lounge furniture. This means that the vehicle has ample space for four people. It is powered by a state-of-the-art electric drive with a 55 kW mag-
neto-electric motor. The zero-local-emission smart fourjoy offers agile driving performance without any shift delays. The study shows that smart is becoming more grown-up. The deliberately three-dimensional, upright front gives it a very expressive appearance that greets the viewer with a fresh smile that is both friendly and assertive.
vide an “intelligent” electric four-wheel drive capability. Each rear wheel is individually powered by a 60 hp electric motor as used on the standard Yaris Hybrid. Combined, the hybrid powertrain system develops a total system output of up to 420 hp. The two electric motors work as electric generators during the braking phase, and supplement the gasoline engine during the accelerating phases. In addition, each motor can be used independently as a generator or a motor to achieve the same effect as an intelligent torque-vectoring differential.
YARIS HYBRID R CONCEPT:
The Toyota stand at Frankfurt had nothing but hybrids on display the highlight of which was the Yaris Hybrid R based on the everyday Yaris three-door but combines a 1.6-litre gasoline Global Race Engine producing 300 hp with two powerful electric motors to pro-
VOLVO CONCEPT COUPE:
After years in the doldrums, Volvo has found its sense of Scandinavian style again and based on its new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA). There is new and old in this car being inspired by the great P1800 sportster of the 1960s. Developed in-house for Volvo Cars only, the Scalable Product Architecture frees Volvo’s designers and engineers from the limitations of previous cross-brand platforms. Viewed from the side, the Concept Coupe looks very powerful aided by the distance between the dashboard and the front axle that has been extended while the windows and roofline have been moved slightly rearwards.

Chev Cruze Diesel resets the mileage bar CONTRIBUTOR
When Chevrolet unveiled the compact Cruze, a key message was fuel efficiency that would be world class. We already have the 1.4-litre turbo, the 1.4-litre Eco model and 1.8-litre naturally aspirated engine that more than fill the bill. Now added to the lineup is the 2014 Diesel with promise of 4.2L/100 km highway operation. Chevrolet claims that is the best mileage of any non-hybrid on Canadian roads. The heart of the Cruz Diesel is, of course, its 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine that drives the front wheels through GM’s ubiquitous six-speed automatic transmission. While the Cruze Diesel is built in Ohio, the engine comes from GM Europe, which has been operating the Cruze with diesel power for some years now. It produces 151 hp and 264 lb/ft torque with 0-96 km/h (60 mph) performance of 8.6 seconds. Chevrolet claims this is better than the Volkswagen Jetta TDI automatic and competitive with other German diesel cars that currently dominate the North American market. The engine is considered a “clean diesel” in that it produces about 90 per cent less nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate emissions when compared to previous-generation diesels. Much of this is due to a 17-litre tank that holds enough diesel emissions urea fluid to provide at least 16,000 kilometres (10,000 miles) of driving between refills. But even more important, and the raison d’etre for the car, is its range. With a fuel rating of 7.5L/100 km in the city, the highway mileage is 4.2L/100 km. With a 59-litre tank, it is theoretically possible to cover 1,400 km on a single fillup. That would be Toronto to Halifax or Vancouver to Regina. That’s pretty fanciful but 800 to 1,000 km, assuming one is judicious on the throttle, is possible in the real world to make
trips such as Vancouver to Banff or Toronto to Quebec City, as examples. The engine starts with just a hint of diesel clatter, but is well muffled, thanks to the turbo. Using dash mats and an engine hood blanket, a lot of work went into cutting noise intrusion into the cabin. It is impossible not to notice the abundance of torque throughout the rev range. Off the line, you must remember not to floor it as 264 torques would be a lot even in a big V6 mid-size sedan. Other than that, the Cruze Diesel drives like any other compact sedan except for all that grunt the torque delivers to the front wheels. For instance, least 250 lb-ft of torque is on tap from as low as 1,750 rpm. And if that is not enough, there is an overboost function that pumps up the torque briefly to 280 lb/ft for short bursts of stronger acceleration when needed such as merging onto a busy highway. I drove the Diesel for a very short period during a GM-sponsored ride-and-drive for its fleet customers to whom the Cruze Diesel would be very attractive. I noticed the Diesel comes with a set of ultra-low resistance all-weather 17-inch tires. While they are great in terms of cutting road surface friction, they are like India Rubber balls in the cold. Anyone buying the Diesel, in my opinion, would be wise to invest in a second set of wheels with snow tires for winter. The Diesel I drove came in a very deep purple that almost looked black. With the interior also in charcoal, I’d probably opt for a brighter exterior like a rich red I’ve seen on other Cruze. With a starting price at $24,945, plus a $1,550 destination charge (excludes tax, title, licence and dealer fees), the Diesel comes with four-wheel antilock disc brakes, 3.20 final drive ratio, 140-amp alternator, 800-cold-crankingamps battery, 17-inch alloy wheels, rear spoiler, performance package and leather-appointed seating.

smaller trunk volume of 376.6 litres compared 425 litres for the gasoline versions of the Cruze. This is due to the mounting of the urea container in the rear. Now you can opt for the 1.4-litre Eco version of the Cruze which has a similar highway rating but the advantage of the long-wearing diesel engine and, thus, higher resale value, are major considerations, not to mention the savings in fuel dollars over a long run. All in all, the 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel offers the alternative of thrifty operation without the weight and cost of a hybrid.

e r e h W e e S i n g s e ! B e r u t u F the The West Kelowna Warriors enter the 2013-14 B.C. Hockey League season with stability behind the bench, a relatively new roster and renewed hope the team can take another step forward in its continuing evolution in West Kelowna. Warriors head coach Rylan Ferster inked a new five year contract extension in the off-season and enters his third full season behind the Warriors bench with what might be the most offensive team he has coached. No matter the talent, Ferster also had his eye on chemistry through training camp and was looking for the best group of players he could assemble. “I think first and foremost you have to be a good teammate, a good person, because I think it’s so important to have a good dressing room,” he said. “It’s so detrimental when you don’t have good chemistry. I think if you have a room where all the guys are clicking, the sky is the limit because you have guys that play for each other.” The Warriors return offensive wizard Amrose Firkus, a slick forward who missed plenty of action last year but could be one of the most exciting players in the BCHL. Also among the Warriors talented top forward group is Seb Lloyd, who last year finished the season as the team’s second leading scorer with 66 points as an 18-year-old. This summer forward David Pope was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings and returns to the Warriors for another year of seasoning. On defense the Warriors have some holes to fill although Adam Plant returns to the club after having played much of last season in the Warriors top defensive pairing. Newcomer Jaden Schmeisser was acquired from Victoria and the 20-year-old blueliner will need to add a veteran presence to the defence corps EAT DRINK In net, veteran Andy Desautels was acquired in the off season and had the inside track on the number one job through & BE IRISH training camp and the start of the season. Join us for Prince George native Liam Blackburn is a rookie to watch for as the skilled forward was second in the B.C. Major Midget League with the Cariboo Cougars and had a pair of goals on the BCHL’s opening weekend. DINNER & In terms of local players, Max French completed his tenure last season with the Warriors and has moved on but rookie A GAME! Brett Mennear will carry the Westside Minor Hockey flag as a promising rookie with the team, coming off a successful season with the Okanagan Rockets of the B.C. Major Midget League. Proud Supporter of WEST KELOWNA Only four of six teams will make the playoffs in the BCHL Interior and Ferster says it’s going to be a tight race. WARRIORS “I’m optimistic about the season. We have more new faces than we had last year so it will take some time to get a read 250.768.8442 on the team. It’s going to be a tough division. There are going to be two really good teams that don’t make the 3470 Carrington Rd playoffs. Our goal is to make the playoffs and go from there,” he said. West Kelowna

showcase ▼ OF PRIME INTEREST
Importance of mortgage pre-approvals We are all aware that interest rates can’t stay as low as they have been for much longer. As we’ve seen over the last two months, interest rates have begun to rise. One of the issues affecting that rise in rates is the increase in the return on government of Canada bonds. That increases the cost for lending institutions, thereby shrinking the spread on what they earn from mortgage lending. Another factor behind the interest rate hike is the tightening by the Bank of Canada on how much is allowed for the financial institutions to “insure” the mortgages they place on their books. As we do not know when interest rates will rise or decline, it’s important to secure an interest rate for a future home purchase, renewal or refinance. What all people looking for a mortgage should do is see their
mortgage professional and discuss all the options available to them. We think a pre-approval mortgage is a must. This will secure an interest rate for up to 120 days. Another huge important point is, should an interest rate reduce within the 120 days, the person seeking the mortgage will be able to take advantage of the lower rate. But in seeking a pre-approval, be prepared to answer questions about your financial situation, and to outline what your assets and liabilities are. Also, you will be required to sign a type of consent form to enable mortgage brokers to complete a credit check to show your credit worthiness. Financial institutions will always ask you to confirm your down payment and where it is coming from. Here’s what is generally required for the final approval: 1.) Confirmation of employment. If you are gainfully employed
you will be required to supply us with a letter of employment along with a recent paystub. If self-employed, income confirmation is different but generally must be confirmed by other means. Contact us for what is required; 2.) In the case of a purchase, an accepted offer to purchase, Multiple Listing agreement and property disclosure. All of that can be supplied by a qualified realtor. There are other documents that may be required for a final approval. But our main point is to “get the ball rolling” as soon as you are thinking about purchasing, refinancing or renewing a mortgage.

Weighing pros and cons of a swimming pool Pool from B24 Generally, real estate agents and appraisers say, buyers will fork over more for a home’s additional square footage, up-
grades, lot size or location. “You could have a non-pool home with a much better view and you’ll pay significantly more because of that
view,” Kirkpatrick said. “Can the pool add a value in those homes? Yes, it can. To what amount? There’s just too many variables.” Bottom line: Is a pool
worth it? The consensus: Certainly—if you want one. “Despite the resale limitations, property owners can still really enjoy having a pool.”
Keep up on gas appliance checks As the days get shorter and the nights get cooler, most of us will be spending more time indoors. In addition to bringing in the yard equipment, ensuring leaves are raked, and sealing up all windows and doors, it’s important to ensure all natural gas appliances are in working order. Unfortunately, annual inspections are not on the radar for many Ontarians. According to a survey by Enbridge Gas Distribution, only 50 per cent of customers with a natural gas furnace or boiler, and 21 per cent of customers with a natural gas fireplace, said they have those appliances inspected annually. Another 14 per cent said they have never had their heating equipment

ACCORDING to an Enbridge Gas Distribution survey, only 50 per cent of customers with a natural gas furnace or boiler have those appliances inspected annually. inspected. Natural gas equipment has an excellent safety record, according to Enbridge. However, just like a car requires regular tuneups, natural gas appliances require maintenance plus an annual inspection by a licensed heating, ventilation and air conditioning professional to make sure they continue to operate safely and efficiently. If this equipment is not properly maintained, carbon monoxide could accumulate in the home and put you and your family at
serious safety risk. As a second line of defense, installing and maintaining CO alarms—especially near sleeping areas —is a critical safety measure. Educate your whole family about what to do if the CO alarm sounds: open windows and doors, and exit the building immediately. If anyone is experiencing flu-like symptoms, seek medical help or call 911. More information on how to use natural gas safely in your home this season is available at enbridgegas.com/safety.

▼ SWIMMING POOLS
More pleasure than resale profit
R
Marilyn Kalfus CONTRIBUTOR
Paul Folino created the swimming pool in his California home backyard as a mini version of a Shangri La he admired in Maui. The resort-style pool at his Coto de Caza home includes cascading rocks and waterfalls, a shallow lounging area, grotto, waterslide and spa. Folino, who figures he pumped about $250,000 into building the pool, didn’t care how much he’d recoup when he sold the home. “I never designed this thinking of the actual value of the property,” said Folino, a retired executive who lives in Los Ranchos Estates. “I put this in for the family’s pleasure…even the dogs go down the slide.” In some areas, such as Southern California, home buyers expect to see swimming pools, and the more tricked out, the better, real estate agents say. But for other home buyers, a backyard pool is a turnoff. It can represent liability, a danger for children, a drain on the family budget, and, sometimes, one extra expense—having to fill it in. Real estate agents say a pool keeps some shoppers from contemplating a house, even with the current limited supply of properties on the market. “There’s a lot of individuals out there, they don’t want a pool,” said Kristi Kirkpatrick of Coldwell Banker Previews International in Newport Beach, Calif.
PAUL Folino, retired CEO of Emulex, sits in the grotto of his backyard pool in Coto de Caza, Cal. “They don’t want that risk; they don’t want to be concerned with smaller kids.” Some home buyers, she said, have told her: “We don’t even want to look at homes that have a pool. Don’t show them to us.” Other buyers can be satisfied with the pools kept up by homeowner associations and don’t see the need for a private pool at their houses, agents say. For many, pools are a personal preference rather than an expense that homeowners should expect to get back when the property is sold. “It’s not really an investment,” said Leland Hill, owner of Associate Appraisers of America in Seal Beach.
“If people put in a simple pool, it’s probably going to cost them anywhere from $45,000 to $65,000, a small pool, and I’m not talking about an infinity pool or anything like that. “Once it’s there, that’s great, but they’re probably only going to get a fraction of that back in the market.” Hill said his brother, a landscaping contractor, gets several requests a year to remove pools, charging $15,000 and up to yank them out of the ground and fill the space. Real estate appraisers say that whether the pool is a plus or pitfall when the home is resold depends on several variables, especially if the pool is too much of a personal statement, out of
style or in need of repairs. Generally, said Ryan Lundquist, an appraiser in Sacramento, Calif., pools are a classic example of an over-improvement “because they cost more than the market is willing to pay for them.” Lundquist likened the depreciating value of a swimming pool to driving a luxury car off the lot. “People generally like pools, so it’s easy to assume they are big-ticket items,” he said. “Moreover, pools can cost quite a bit to install, so it’s understandable to think they will automatically increase value. “On top of that, people have seen houses with pools sell for more.” Lundquist, however, said he would deduct
CONTRIBUTED
value from a house that has no pool if comparable homes in the neighbourhood have them. Folino, retired chairman of the board at Emulex, won’t get dinged for that. Real estate broker John Evans said Folino’s lavish swimming pool is an important marketing tool for the 9,000-squarefoot home, set on two acres with a barn, stables and a riding arena. The house, built in 2004, is for sale at $5.99 million. “Most of the properties in the Estates have pools,” said Evans. “It’s just part of the ambiance. It’s an emotional thing. Can you imagine if it wasn’t here?” See Pool B23
ecently a survey provided by Statistics Canada reflected that the number of homeownership has increased to 69 per cent as seven of 10 Canadian households are homeowners. While those numbers reflect an optimistic outlook for Canadians, the media seems to want to spin it in the other direction, claiming that low interest rates for mortgages is still allowing home buyers to take on too much debt too quickly. Throughout the sumREAL ESTATE mer the months in the RUNDOWN Central Okanagan we experienced lower then normal inventory, increasing sales activity and a slight decrease in sale prices. Perhaps the pendulum Ceinwen is swinging back into a Morgan buyer’s market. But beneath all of the bluster and misleading information that is carelessly reported across Canada from time to time, when it comes to the real estate market statistics don’t lie. The Statistics Canada survey showed homeownership rates increase alongside people’s age prior to their retirement years, at which point it plateaus before starting to decline. For households where the person responsible for paying the bills was younger than 35, 46.9% of households owned their home. That number rose to 69.1% for those ages 35 to 44, and 74.7% for those 45 to 54. The homeownership rate peaked at 77.1% for those ages 55 to 64. However, Roger Lewis, a senior researcher with the Canada Mortgage and Housing, said that some households, particularly owners, may exceed the affordability threshold voluntarily. “They might be in a larger house than they need or be accelerating their mortgage payments or something else,” he said. There is a silver lining. The rumours of another infamous bubble bursting seem to now have dissipated for Canadians as the whispers of sky rocketing mortgage rates that our government has been warning us about still have not arrived. The U.S. housing sales have been experiencing a substantial recovery leaving it near the top of Scotiabank’s international ranking. Inflation-adjusted average prices rose eight per cent in the second quarter from a year ago. Europe is also showing signs of recovery reflecting sale prices in the second quarter were up from a year ago for the first-time in two and half years. So with the U.S. making a slow and steady recovery, one is left to wonder and hope that Canada will keep following suit. Ceinwen Morgan has worked in the Kelowna real estate industry for the past five years.
