JOHN ANDERSON, of Kelowna’s Bean Scene Coffee Works checks beans he’s roasting. Inset: coffee beans before roasting.

Coffee has become big business across North America in the last 20 years, as the popularity of the drink—especially in the form of lattes—has grown. But a few coffee bean roasters in Kelowna say there’s much more to coffee than a drink fortified with milk. Like winemakers do with grapes, they are pulling unique flavours from the coffee bean and want to educate the palettes of coffee drinkers here so they will appreciate the seemingly simple espresso.

Search for the best coffee bean brew

Alistair Waters

ASSISTANT EDITOR

W

hen Kelowna’s Al Lang heads to Seattle next month to compete in the Latte Art World Championships, he won’t just be going as a competitor.

Lang, who is relatively new to the world of coffee, will also be there as a judge.

But he won’t be judging other baristas’ art in a cup. He will be judging the coffee itself in an associated competition for coffee bean roasters.

The operator of Kelowna’s Bean Scene Coffee Works near Landmark Square has been asked to judge in the espresso category, adjudicating the quality of the beans used to make the rich, small, dark drink that is so popular around the world.

And to hear Lang talk about what he looks for in a good espresso, he sounds like a judge in competitions dealing with that other popular Okanagan product—wine.

“I’ll be looking for aroma, body, as well the fruity notes from the bean itself,” says Lang.

The 44-year-old, who used to be a hotel man-

ager before getting into the coffee business just over a year ago, admits he was surprised to be asked to judge at the annual CoffeeFest.

The competition will draw hundreds of competitors from all over western North America, as many as 10,000 attendees, and will include a large trade show.

Later in the month, the Canadian equivalent, the Brewers Cup, will take place in Vancouver.

While Seattle and the Pacific Northwest have become coffee central over the last 20 years, coffee culture has grown elsewhere, as demonstrated by the huge popularity of coffee shop chains such as Starbucks and Tim Hortons.

But it’s the mushrooming growth of independent coffee shops that’s really helping to fuel the growing popularity of coffee bean roasting and the seemingly simple, yet complex espresso.

And with it, the popularity of the roasters who bring the subtle, and sometimes not so subtle, flavours out of the beans they roast.

“I think of us (at the Bean Scene) as being in

the business of educating people’s palettes,” says Lang.

••• When it comes to roasting coffee beans, just about anyone can do it, Lang says. But not everyone can do it well.

Similar to popping corn, coffee beans are heated until they crack and release oils and sugars. And that’s what give them their taste.

“You could roast beans in a popcorn maker,” says Lang. “It’s the same process but they would come out tasting like crap.”

Typically a coffee bean cracks twice when being roasted. Taken out after the first crack gives a lighter roast and after the second, a darker roast.

But, depending on the beans used, their origin, the ability of the roaster and a myriad of other, more subtle factors such as the amount of air used, the temperature, and attributes of the roasting machine itself, many different tasting notes can be brought out.

At Kelowna’s Cherry Hill Coffee, a larger wholesale producer as well as selling to individual buyers, creating

AL Lang, who owns the Bean Scene Coffee Works in Kelowna, has been recruited as a judge for the upcoming Latte Art World Championship in Seattle.

ALISTAIR WATERS/CAPITAL NEWS

a wide selection of coffees is an everyday occurrence.

James Calder, Cherry Hill’s director of marketing, says like grapes used for wine making, the origin of coffee beans will influence the flavour notes in the final product because of the earth they are grown in and the weather conditions.

Also like wine-mak-

ing, Calder says coffee aficionados have their own tasting wheels that describe those flavour notes using descriptions one may not readily think of when speaking about coffee.

Citrus, for instance, is not something one necessarily thinks of when drinking coffee according to roasters its a wellknown flavour note.

In fact, Ethiopian coffee beans are known to have more citrus flavour than beans from other parts of the world.

“Different beans are also handled differently because of the flavours that can be brought out of them,” says Calder.

Unlike the micro-roastery at the Bean Scene, Cherry Hill creates much larger volumes. But both

rely on the expertise of the roaster to create the finished product.

Just as a wine-maker creates a given vintage using his or her knowhow, a roaster does the same.

At Cherry Hill, it’s a family affair. The business owners, brothers David and Jeff Biglow and David’s stepson Tim, serve as the roasters.

The company was started by their father 25 years ago. All three have many years experience working with the beans.

“Here it’s old school,” said Calder, noting that despite its commercial size, roasting is still done by hand, there are no computer controllers.

The large roasting machine the company uses dates back to the 1950s.

Over at the Bean Scene, owner John Anderson also serves as the roaster. And while he admits he has to think like a businessman, his passion really comes across when he talks about roasting the beans.

For me, it’s a visual experience,” he says. “I visualize taste.”

lighter roasts.

But, he is quick to admit that if he did not create dark roasts as well, he would go out of business.

“That’s what a lot of people want, so I have to do it,” he says.

“But, if I could just get people to tinker with no cream and no sugar (in their coffee), I’d be through the roof.”

While he admits the popularity of lattes has driven coffee culture to the heights it is today, he sees change coming but maybe not in smaller communities like Kelowna.

“If I was doing what I

do here in somewhere like Seattle, Portland or Vancouver, I would have lineups out the door,” says Anderson.

But, he said, the population base is just not here for that.

Undeterred, he plugs on.

Unlike the larger commercial operations, Anderson’s Bean Scene roastery is much smaller in scale.

It supplies the coffee for the handful of Bean Scene coffee shops and a few others but it does not wholesale its products.

Despite that, there is a similarity when you talk to both Anderson and

Calder about the creative process used for roasting beans.

Neither company uses computers to set times or control the roasting process. They both rely on the knowledge and experience of the person operating the roasting machine.

In Anderson’s case, he learned his craft from a man whose name Anderson uses as his personal roasting method.

Espresso Graf, as it is know, is what Anderson describes as his “baby.”

“I believe you learn from people who are better than you and then you honour them by trying to make it better.”

ury of providing a range of roasts for its customers, both individual and corporate.

Using only organic beans, Cherry Hill, like the Bean Scene, seeks out single source beans only, meaning each batch comes from a single farm and are not mixed with beans from other farms.

And, like other commodities, coffee beans are traded on the market at prices that fluctuate. That can mean sources can differ from time to time.

Calder says currently there is a blight affecting beans in Central America, and that will likely mean a shortage next year from that part of the world.

Beans from different areas are also handled differently because they produce different flavours, he says.

But despite all the variances, in the end, it is the roaster who brings out the flavour in the bean and that is what makes that perfect cup of coffee.

For Al Lang, finding the perfect espresso will be his job next month in Seattle. And he’s looking forward to the task.

Developer eyes pier, marina to complement hotel

2514 Hwy. 97 (at Hwy.33), Kelowna

(250) 861-9321

Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

The man behind Kelowna’s new public pier and marina says he’s excited the facility is finally complete and is looking forward to making it

part of a bigger development that he hopes will help transform the downtown area.

Phil Milroy, owner of Westcorp, the Edmonton developer that built the $5.1-million pier for the city, said his plans for a

507 Granville Ave. Enderby

(250) 838-9321

www.AshleyFurnitureHomeStore.com

boutique hotel on the site of the former Willow Inn at Mill Street and Queensway are well underway.

He hopes to break ground on that project in the coming months.

“We’re very excited,” said Milroy.

“The Okanagan Valley is a rare and unique piece of geography and I believe the sweet spot is between The Sails (sculpture at the foot of Bernard Avenue) and the entrance to the (new) pier.”

Milroy said he likes

what the city is doing to improve Bernard Avenue, as well as the current ongoing plans for the downtown lakeshore, such as a new Kelowna Yacht Club building and expansion of Jim Stuart Park now that the Water Street Seniors Centre is gone.

Westcorp’s proposed hotel, which will include a street level commercial component and an enhanced public space, is expected to also include a multi-storey building and have between 140 and 200 rooms.

Milroy said while it is too early to say exactly how tall the “tower” will be, it is a far cry from the original plan to build three towers in excess of 20 storeys on the land.

That plan, of which Westcorp’s development was part, was known as the CD21, a comprehensive development zone proposed for the entire area around Bernard.

Westcorp provided the seed funding for that zone plan, which called for a massive redevelopment of the area.

But the plan was met with substantial opposition from the public and was ultimately rejected by the previous Kelowna city council.

Westcorp’s original concept also nixed the city’s original plan for Jim Stuart Park, as it was announced just days before the city finalized its first plan for the park.

As a result, the park’s development was delayed.

But with the park now in place, the marina now complete—it is slated to officially open today— and a revamped plan for the hotel, Milroy said he is prepared to proceed again.

Describing the new development concept as “vastly” different from the original plan, he said his company has been working closely with the city to make sure what is proposed fits with the Kelowna’s downtown plan.

“We need to be very mindful of what people will think of the (development),” Milroy told the Capital News in an interview Thursday, in part because of the high profile of the location.

“Downtowns are very important areas of any city,” he said.

“We want to do something that will be iconic.”

How exactly the hotel development will look and how it will tie in with the new pier and marina has yet to be revealed.

But Milroy said his company’s desire to build and operate the pier and

▼ LYME DISEASE

Beware of fall season tick bites Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

It may only be the size of a poppy seed, but its bite could be fatal at worst, and could cause severe sickness at best— particularly if incorrectly diagnosed at first.

And, contrary to the Rocky Mountain Wood Tick (Dermacentor andersoni), which can cause paralysis and carry disease too, the Western Black-legged Tick (Ixodes pacificus) carries Lyme Disease and is commonly found at this time of year as well as in spring, when the wood tick is common.

West Kelowna resident Jim Wilson, founder and president of the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation, warns that autumn is an important time of year for people to be aware that this tick continues to be looking for a blood meal until temperatures drop a few degrees below freezing.

In the past, federal and provincial health authorities denied that the Lyme Disease-carrying tick was a concern in the Okanagan.

But Wilson says government health officials just didn’t look for it in the right sort of habitat or the right time of year.

The wood tick is found in hot, dry areas, particu-

New hotel to be ‘iconic’ development Developer from A6 marina through a contractor is not about making money—it is about improving the area for the hotel development.

Westcorp has contracted out the operation of the marina for the first three years to a group Milroy described as “basically the people at the Hotel Eldorado.”

In return for building, maintaining and operating the pier and marina, Westcorp gets to keep any revenue it makes—mainly through gasoline sales from a new marine gas station and from shortterm moorage rentals.

The new hotel is slated to take between 20 and 30 months to build once it gets approval from the city. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

CAPITAL NEWS FILE

JIM Wilson at a public rally held in 2009 to raise awareness of lyme disease in the Okanagan. larly in spring and early summer, while theblacklegged tick is more likely to be found in leaf litter, tall grass or brush, along lakesides or streams or in ravines, where it’s moist—and in fall rather than just spring.

“They looked in the wrong places at the wrong time,” he commented.

Both federal and provincial authorities now accept that Lyme Disease can be contracted from a tick bite in the Okanagan,

but there’s still a reluctance in the medical community, he said.

While the federal government admits that the most common test for Lyme Disease is not reliable, treatment for it is still based on that test, he says.

“It’s absurd,” he adds.

Wilson contracted Lyme Disease in 1991 in Nova Scotia and his daughter was bitten in B.C. in 2001 and ended up with Lyme Disease and that prompted him to

found CanLyme.

She ended up with a pacemaker, but is otherwise over the disease, as is he. Both were treated for Lyme Disease.

Wilson says migratory birds tend to move the ticks around, carrying disease in their blood and infecting new ticks who bite them.

The role of deer is in overwintering ticks in their fur, without becoming ill with the disease themselves.

To prevent being bitten, he advises you spray with a product containing DEET around your pantlegs or ankles, wrists, waist and neckline and don’t walk in tall grasses.

Once you’re home from a hike, check yourself thoroughly, particularly around the hairline and in private areas.

To remove a tick, pull it slowly and gently, without twisting, using your fingers or tweezers.

Treat the wound with antiseptic. jsteeves@kelowncapnews.com

Kelowna auto body shop badly damaged by fire White Stag Auto Body, at 1140 Brant Ave., suffered extensive damage after a fire broke out inside the shop at 8:30

a.m. on Thursday.

The six employees in the business at the time were safely evacuated but some vehicles that

couldn’t be moved outside of the shop in time were damaged.

While billowing black smoke could be seen rising from the shop from across the city, the fire damage essentially gutted the auto body shop build-

ing, which has been in business since 1972.

Neighbouring businesses and residents in eight units of an apartment building on Brant Avenue, overlooking White Stag, were evacuated for precautionary reasons.

letter of the week Recalling the need to quit smoking forever

To the editor: After reading Charlie Hodge’s column: Regret for Developing a Smoking Habit (Sept. 13, Capital News), I felt moved to share my story.

I started smoking when I was 16 (1956) when smoking was still socially acceptable and encouraged. I remember (with embarrassment) standing in front of the Westbank cafe (our local hangout) with a cigarette dangling from the corner of my mouth and wearing sunglasses, trying to look cool.

Back then, smoking wasn’t considered a serious health risk and wasn’t associated with cancer.

I worked in the auto body trade for 30 years repairing and painting vehicles, breathing in fumes from lead, mercury and other deadly toxic chemicals designed to destroy your health—and it did.

I developed a persistent cough, so I went to have my lungs x-rayed. My doctor told me that the bottom of my lungs were filled with gunk and were starting to collapse.

Faced with an unhealthy

Regulator takes its reading on smart meters

D

espite efforts to keep the smart meter “controversy” alive by repeating imaginary health claims, the end is near.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett has made what sounds like a final offer to holdouts. You want to keep your old mechanical meter, fill your boots. It’ll cost you an extra $35 a month, starting in December. If you insist on a “radio off” wireless meter, there will be a setup fee of $100 and a monthly fee of $20 to have someone collect the readings.

These charges are to be reviewed by the B.C. Utilities Commission, the independent panel that smart meter opponents want to review BC Hydro’s whole smart grid project.

As it happens, the BCUC recently did just that for an application by FortisBC to install wireless meters for its Okanagan and Kootenay customers. The Tom meters were approved, Fletcher and the findings are instructive.

The BCUC report notes that it received “many” complaints about smart meter signals being added to existing radio frequency (RF) sources. Some used familiar scare rhetoric about “toxic microwave radiation” that’s promoted by people trying to make money by exploiting fear.

One of the experts retained by FortisBC was Dr. Yakov Shkolnikov, an electrical engineer with advanced degrees from Princeton and Cornell Uni-

VICTORIA VIEWS

versities. His testimony was not challenged by any of the lineup of opponents. A sample of his findings illustrates the absurdity of this whole discussion.

Shkolnikov calculated that a cell phone in use generates radio signals that reach 10 per cent of the international safety code limit. A microwave oven generates 2.3 per cent of the safe limit. A cordless phone: 1.25 per cent.

A wi-fi signal: 0.0045 per cent.

A bank of smart meters, not separated by a wall, registers 0.0019 per cent. The natural background RF level is 0.013 per cent. Note the decimal place. The level in the middle of a wilderness is more than 10 times that received from a bank of meters.

BCUC staff added, for comparison, the radio signal level emitted by a human body. It’s 0.018 per cent. What this means is your spouse snoring be-

side you is a stronger source of RF than a whole wall of smart meters.

Experts put up by opponents didn’t fare so well. One was Jerry Flynn, a retired Canadian Forces officer from Kelowna who travels around taking readings, talking to elderly people about alleged hazards of meters, and making claims to the media about what he has called the single biggest threat to human health today.

The BCUC found his military experience not “relevant,” and his evidence frequently “incorrect, exaggerated and/or unsubstantiated.”

Then there was Curtis Bennett, who described himself as “chief science officer” for a company called Thermoguy. He spoke on behalf of West Kootenay Concerned Citizens. In a 2012

A Tradition of Sound Advice

One rat does not make an infestation To the editor: I was quite annoyed to see your all-encompassing, sensational front page headline in the Sept, 19 Capital News, “Rats Infesting Glenmore.”

We have a home in

north Glenmore and another in old Glenmore that we have owned for the last 12 and seven years respectively. In that time I have never seen one rat on either property or the surrounding neighbourhood.

Not one rat! No rat droppings, nothing.

But apparently we are infested with them! Really!!

Come on, give us Glenmore residents a break! You really should

think twice before you paint everyone with the same brush!!

This kind of headline is just irresponsible!

It sounds like a few people leave out too much loose compost, vegetables

and meat scraps and of course they are going to attract rodents, if we have any!

Give council the boot if tourist info goes in park To the editor: Re: City officials considering building tourist info centre in Kelowna’s City Park.

Many citizens are asking why city officials are showing disrespect to the public and desecrating beautiful City Park with a tourist information centre.

A big reason is the narcissistic city officials have gone berserk with obsession for image and showing off and will say, do and deny anything to get their way.

The public have loudly said “no” to any tourist information building in City Park. More than 100 people wrote in to city hall and there have been 2,700 online visits.

Council acknow-

ledged the overwhelming public displeasure and outrage. Coun. Maxine Dehart stated: “the public has spoken.”

Coun. Mohini Singh stated: “We do care about what the people think.

They spoke, we heard.”

Mayor Gray stated: “We listened and learned.”

Instead of following the public, the insincere, conniving council followed Coun. Andre Blanleil’s fanaticism to have a revised 6,000 sq.-ft. tourist facility building in City Park.

Only Coun. Gerry Zimmermann showed leadership and respect by agreeing with the public. When the public says “no” they mean “no.”

By keeping the tourist information facility in the park plan, the council insulted every citizen with a slap to the face.

Obviously, citizens can’t believe or trust council. Trying to reason with the mayor and council is almost impossible, because they are lost in their self-admiring, narcissistic business bubble.

They arrogantly think they know what is best.

Already, they wasted $800,000 on a “peek-aboo” loo without public input.

Now they want to rip up the beautiful Veendam rose garden for a non-conforming tourist information centre to accommodate the chamber of commerce, the Downtown

Business Association and predatory groups like Four Change, etc.

To rip up pristine parkland to serve this business establishment is inconsiderate, irresponsible and deplorable.

Being completely obsessed in digging up the sacred Veendam rose gardens beside the sacred cenotaph area for a tourist facility building, council and planners have lost sight of the spirit and intent of the public’s treasure—City Park. The spirit and intent of City Park is to preserve its beauty, serenity, solemnity, sacredness for the maximum enjoyment of all citizens and to uplift their souls.

It was never intended to be sacrificed, desecrated

and prostituted for a tourist centre to lure in tourists for the downtown business establishment.

The disrespect and contempt for the citizens and City Park by the arrogant “business over everything” mayor and council are disgusting and shameful. Except for Coun. Zimmermann, they all deserve to be kicked off council.

Don’t let the disrespectful, dictatorial mayor and council wreck our beautiful park. Give them a warning—either eliminate the entire tourist facility building proposed for City Park immediately or get booted off council at election time.

Change of life secures healthy longevity Smoking from A10 and shortened lifespan, I decided to quit smoking for good. It wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be.

After having quit before with little effort, I really struggled when I needed to quit the most.

After 10 months of quitting and starting again, I felt the mental and physical suffering from trying to quit was worse than smoking, so I gave up trying to quit.

But the damage was already done. My immune and respiratory sys-

tems were greatly compromised. I was prone to getting sick and coughed continuously for three months each year for many years.

If that wasn’t bad enough, my hair started falling out. And when I took a whiff of paint fumes, my lips would go numb and I felt hot spots in my body, and developed blotches on my skin. My sense of smell and taste diminished.

I had co-workers die from lung cancer, brain tumour and respiratory illness and others who had

to quit working due to illness caused by inhaling dust and chemicals.

After working in the toxic environment for 30 years, while smoking up to two packs of cigarettes a day, I left to regain my health and the 30 years of potential life lost on the job.

Since my departure in 1990, when I was 50, (not from Earth, but from my job), I have been practicing and teaching Qigong-Tai chi and my health has slowly and surely improved.

This past winter my

It’ll cost you to keep that old hydro meter Fletcher from A10 letter to the B.C. energy ministry, Bennett warned of the danger of smart meters triggering “molecular earthquakes.”

The BCUC panel wrote: “While Mr. Bennett has an electrician’s knowledge of electrical systems, it is clear that he is unqualified to give expert opinion evidence on

the health effects of RF, exposure standards for RF, engineering, physics or geological phenomena such as earthquakes.”

Citizens for Safe Technology put up one Dr. Donald Maisch, who claimed to have experience with this issue in Australia.

The panel noted that Maisch runs EMFacts Consultancy, and agreed

with FortisBC’s argument that “Dr. Maisch’s consulting livelihood depends upon public fears and concerns about RF exposure.” Would you like this circus of quackery to be restaged over BC Hydro’s program, at your expense?

wife insisted that I go to see a doctor, because I was coughing at night, disturbing her sleep.

I had my lungs x-rayed and went to a respiratory specialist for tests. When I went back for the results, my doctor told me that my lungs were normal, and I had good lung capacity.

I am so grateful to Qigong-Tai chi exercise for restoring my health.

We all know that stress is the underlying cause of many illnesses and addictions, but did you know that ‘sitting’ is the new ‘smoking’?

It gives a whole new meaning to the saying: You lazy bum.

I want to thank Charlie Hodge for sharing his story and hope that a pair of healthy lungs is waiting for him.

I urge everybody to take responsibility for their health and life.

Now I am going to get off my ass, and take my 72-year-rejuvenated body out to practice Qigong-Tai chi.

Have a health, playful day.

“It’s not the league of the past where the talk was about franchises in trouble,” said Cohon.

“Now the question I get asked is where are you going to expand to next?”

For the record, the area the league is eyeing for expansion—once Ottawa re-enters the CFL next season—is Atlantic Canada. But while Moncton has hosted CFL games dubbed Touchdown Atlantic in recent years, Cohon said if, and when, a

very supportive of junior football in this country because it can produce great Canadian talent.

In recent years, B.C. Junior Football League stars like Andrew Harris and Steven Doege have made it to the CFL—both now with the B.C. Lions.

Cohon said if the league is to continue to grow, it needs to not only attract good young Canadian players but also more young Canadian fans.

Even when they successfully flip themselves over the barrier and into the still pond above, some are immediately washed back downstream by the swift streamflow and have to negotiate the hurdle all over again.

A SPAWNING kokanee makes its way up stream at the end of its lifecycle. ling many kilometres upstream in Mission Creek from Okanagan Lake.

As I stand up from my crouch beside the creek, they fan away in fright, so obviously they realize the danger that lurks above in the sky from osprey, owls, hawks and other fish-eating birds.

The immense change in physical characteristics, from a silver fish to one that’s scarlet with a green head sporting the classic upturned nose of the spawning salmon, is quite amazing.

They use water temperature and day length to trigger their decision about when to enter the creek from the lake where they made their home for the past four years.

During that time, it’s been learned they also face innumerable problems, from a lack of adequate feed because the introduced mysis shrimp out-compete them for it when they first arrive,

If they do survive in the lake to return to spawn, it’s the culmination of their lives, as salmon die after spawning, their bodies providing nutrients for surrounding habitat and feed for bears, raccoons and other critters. It’s a final journey, their odyssey home to lay their eggs.

the 1970s through to the 2000s, but what was a 20year plan for their recovery was cut short at that point; the budget slashed and the little fish left to continue eking out an existence in habitat that continues to be eroded by human activity.

To be fair, efforts have been made to improve some of the issues affecting their continued survival, but much more can be done, largely involving restoration of habitat, such as a re-naturalizing of creeks like Mission, Trout and Penticton, as well as Trepanier and others.

But every time a new dock is plunked down along the shore of Okanagan Lake, more habitat is lost and no one seems to be saying no to those who want to build those docks.

Perhaps one species of little fish are not considered important enough to prevent more people from building docks over their gravel beds for spawning; or from permitting pollutants of one sort or another from entering a lake or stream; or from releasing land so the creek can once again flow over it, providing habitat.

If that’s the case, be prepared to also wave good-bye to big, fat, trophy rainbows and the tourism industry that’s based on recreational fishing; and to more changes in that aquatic ecosystem than we can even guess at, but which will affect us negatively one day.

The alternative is to stand our ground; to voice our objections when their habitat is endangered; to get out on the ground and help restore habitat throughout the watershed.

Where are you prepared to draw the line?

NEWS CFL from A12 called strong ownership of the nine teams currently in the CFL and the new ownership team in Ottawa. “We have seen corporate Canada get on board with us and municipal governments partnering in new stadiums,” said the commissioner.

One of Cohon’s proudest achievements of his seven years in office,

S

he said, was last year’s 100th Grey Cup celebration in Toronto.

“That was our Olympics,” said Cohon, pointing to the pride Canadians are now feeling and expressing in the league.

Other highlights include the imminent return of the CFL to Ottawa in a refurbished Landsdowne Park stadium and the new television deal.

It’s a long way from

when he took over as commissioner in 2006

when the league’s slogan was: “Our balls are big-

ger,” a double-entendre reference to the then size

of the football used by the CFL as opposed to the

smaller one used by the NFL.

Verma had been driving another man’s truck, the court has heard.

Watt also revisited earlier testimony by Labonte, suggesting Labonte had testified that “Mr. Verma was going to kill Ms. Irving for the Hells Angels.”

Labonte agreed.

Irving was last seen alive April 6, 2010, the day she was brokering a large marijuana deal.

Her body was discovered on McCulloch Forest Service Road—not far from where Labonte said he pulled Verma out—on April 26. She had been shot four times. Verma is currently on trial for first degree murder.

Later that day, Labonte testified that he was contacted by Verma, who asked for help getting out of the bush.

“Did you ask him how he got there?” asked Watt.

“No,” said Labonte.

You drove up the back roads to help him without asking a “single, solitary question?” asked Watt incredulously.

“He called for my help. He’s my cousin. I helped him,” said Labonte.

Labonte agreed that when he got to the spot off McCulloch Forest Service Road where Verma was waiting, it “didn’t look like he was stuck.”

Watt continued to question Labonte, asking why he didn’t give Verma

tions in maintenance time.

All were very excited with the results of the conversion to xeriscape.

There was a general desire to share their experiences to help others make the change.

Judging criteria for the contest included: 1) health, vigour, suitability and variety of xeriscape plants 2) suitability of design to its site and usage, creative use of hardscapes, runoff prevention and habitat restoration/preservation 3) use of mulch and ease of maintenance including appropriate spacing to minimize pruning 4) freedom from perennial weeds, maintenance of paths, structures and cultivated areas 5) low water use— type of water system, decrease from former use, minimal or no turf; and 6) aesthetics—harmonious blending of colours, shapes and textures, seasonal change, plantings in proportion to property and buildings.

Local landscape architect Lindsay Clement was thanked for assisting with the judging.

Winners received an engraved garden ornament made by B-line Design and a $100 gift certificate donated by a nursery.

NEWS ▼ DOCUMENTARY

Interrogation of Omar Khadr at Guantanamo explored in film A documentary about the interrogation of a Canadian citizen at the now infamous Gauntanamo Bay terrorist detention camp is the subject of a new film called: You Don’t Like The Truth: 4 Days Inside Guantanamo.

The documentary will be featured tonight, 7:30 p.m., at the Okanagan College campus theatre, 1000 KLO Rd., presented by the local chapter of Amnesty International.

The documentary profiles the 2003 interrogation of a teenager and Canadian citizen, Omar Khadr, by Canadian intelligence agents.

In 2002, when he was 15, Khadr was captured by the U.S. military in Afghanistan after its forces bombed and assaulted the Afghanistan compound in which he was living.

The U.S. raid and subsequent firefight resulted in the death of a U.S. soldier and Khadr being se-

verely wounded.

He was the first person since the Second World War to be prosecuted in a military commission for war crimes committed while still a minor.

He was one of the youngest captives and the last western citizen to be held by the United States at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, located in Cuba.

While in detention he was subjected to harsh interrogation methods.

In October 2010, in a plea agreement, he pleaded guilty to murder in violation of the law of war and to providing material support for terrorism.

This agreement meant that he did not need to be tried by a Guantanamo military commission tribunal.

He accepted an eightyear sentence, not including time served.

On Sept. 29, 2012 he was repatriated to Canada

to serve the remainder of his sentence in Canadian custody.

The film analyzes the political, legal and scientific aspects of the interro-

gation of Khadr by the Canadian agents.

Admission to the film is by donation. For more information, call 250-7694740.

▼ BCFC

Sun’s Howes a leader by example Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Tommy Howes admits one day he’ll likely wax nostalgic about his five seasons in an Okanagan Sun uniform.

But for now, there are far more pressing matters at hand for the Winnipeg-born receiver than pondering his past or looking too far into the future.

A proponent of head coach Shane Beatty’s one-day-at-a-time philosophy, Howes is looking no further than Sunday’s B.C. Football Conference matchup with the Chilliwack Huskers.

“I haven’t reflected much on my career here, I’m really just focusing on the task at hand,” said Howes, 22, who graduates from junior football at the end of the season. “Coach (Shane) Beatty has taught us the mentality that only the next game matters. So that’s the focus right now, the Chilliwack Huskers (on Sunday). Of course, we want to win a championship but there’s a lot of work to be done before that.”

On the subject of championships, Howes said anything less than winning the BCFC title in 2013 would be a “disappointment”, particularly considering the team’s dramatic turnaround this season under the tutelage of Beatty.

If the Sun does plan on challenging for the conference title, it’s safe to say Howes will need to play a vital role.

The 5-foot-11, 185-pound receiver has

been an offensive force for the Sun this season, leading the BCFC in receptions with 45, while piling up 582 yards and scoring a team-high eight touchdowns.

Over the years, Sun receivers coach Tony Lindsay has watched Howes develop into a seasoned veteran and a valuable offensive commodity.

“He’s pretty much become our go-to guy in the passing game. Technically his route running is excellent, he’s intelligent and he’s almost always in the right spot on the field,” said Lindsay. “He’s grown tremendously over the years, from a boy into a really nice young man.”

And while Howes isn’t the loudest or most talkative teammate, Lindsay said the Winnipeg product has also evolved into an important leader on a young Sun team.

“A lot of the younger guys on offense look up to him, even guys in other positions,” said Lindsay.

“The receivers all seem to gravitate to him, too. He’s not a big voice or boisterous, he mainly leads by his actions. Tommy’s a quiet leader who gets his job done and sets a great example.”

With two games left in the regular season, the Sun has not only sewed up a playoff spot but will also host at least one playoff game at the Apple Bowl.

So with two lesser opponents to come—Chilliwack and Kamloops— what do Howes and the Sun want to accomplish prior to the start of post-season ?

“We just want to go

FIVE-YEAR BCFC veteran Tommy Howes leads the Okanagan Sun with 45 receptions this season. out there and leave no doubt about what kind of team we are,” Howes said.

“We want to bring our A games, be crisp and do everything we need to do to be ready for the playoffs.”

One of seven 22-yearold players graduating from the program at season’s end Howes, not surprisingly, wants to make the most of his final weeks

in a Sun uniform.

And while he’s hesitant to reminisce much while his career is still in progress, the sure-handed receiver concedes his years in Sun colours have been rewarding, to say the least.

“It’s meant so much to me to be with the Sun for five years, both on and off the field,” Howes added. “They’ve been very

generous to me with the scholarship program, and I’ve gotten to know so many people over the years. I came here as a boy and I’ll be leaving a man, and I’m grateful to the organization.”

Howes and the Sun (62) will take on the Huskers (2-5-1) this Sunday at the Apple Bowl in a 2 p.m. kickoff. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna’s #1 Choice for Auto Glass

A pair of key veterans will make a return to the Kelowna Rockets’ lineup Saturday night at Prospera Place.

Defenceman Damon Severson and forward Myles Bell will make their WHL season debuts as the Rockets host the Victoria Royals in the first of eight meetings between the clubs.

Both draft picks of the New Jersey Devils, the 20-year-old Bell rejoined the club last weekend from the NHL team’s camp, while Severson, 19, arrived back in the Okanagan from New Jersey on Thursday.

“We’re returning two very key pieces to our puzzle,” Huska said of Severson and Bell. “It’s good, because it’s the end of not knowing whether we were going to get these players back, and now we can move forward as a hockey team.”

Bell’s return means one overage player will have to sit out each time the Rockets play.

The other 20 year-olds on the roster are G Jordon Cooke, F Zach Franko and D MacKenzie Johnston. The club will have to move one by Oct. 15, the deadline for WHL teams to declare their three overage players.

As for Victoria, the Royals are off to a slow start at 1-3-0, their latest defeat coming at the hands of Spokane, 6-1 on Wednesday.

Still, Huska expects Victoria to offer up more than what they’ve shown to date.

“They’re a team that’s always played with energy,” said Huska.

“You look at their lineup and they have a great group of forwards. We always seem to have good games against them, so I wouldn’t expect anything different this time.”

ROCKET SHOTS…

The Rockets (2-0-0) earned honourable mention for the second week in a row in the CHL’s weekly rankings…Kelowna will visit the Everett Silvertips on Wednesday.

Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

The sport of water-skiing is undergoing a renaissance in Kelowna and oone of the pioneers of the -sport will be honoured this weekend with a recereational slalom event in his name.

- The inaugural Wally Open recreational slalom ewater ski event will honwour the late Wally Giebelhaus Saturday morning on Okanagan Lake, near the n

site where the skiing pioneer did much of his training before becoming a many-time national water ski champion in a variety of age categories.

Gieblhaus passed away last year but his love of skiing has been passed on to generations and is now being continued thanks to water skier Gary Athans along with a group of organizers that include the whiplash cable park just across the bridge heading towards West Ke-

lowna.

It was in that location that Giebelhaus, one of the nation’s most enthusiastic water skiers, would set a course every season to train.

“I decided to put this on to generate more interest in the sport,” said Athans. “Wally loved skiing more than almost anything. He competed till he was almost 80. When my brother was young Wally would take him on ski competitions. It’s real-

is open to all ages and abilities,” said Athans.

“Waterskiing is making a comeback as it is really a fun, speed, adrenaline-type sport. Slalom skiers can generate speeds of 60 mph and turning on a dime.”

“We wanted to add another defenceman,” said Warriors head coach and GM Rylan Ferster.

As well as No. 1 goaltender Andy Desautels, Ferster has brought in forwards Tyson Dallman and Jason Cotton, all of whom have proven key contributors.

Morse will be the first addition to the defensive corps. But Ferster points out, the team also has 20-year-old Jaden Schmeisser soon to return from injury.

Morse began practicing with the Warriors on Thursday, while Schmeisser could make his debut when the club heads on a Coastal road trip next weekend, Oct. 4 to 6.

TOFC U-13 teams working hard Thompson Okanagan Football Club teams will be back in action this coming weekend in Kelowna as the youth soccer season continues on various fields on Saturday and Sunday as teams from Coastal FC as well as the Fraser Valley will be in Kelowna.

Here’s a look back at a couple of featured games from last weekend’s play.

U-13 INTAKE BOYS

On Saturday at the Mission Sports Fields, the TOFC U-13 Intake boys came away with their Dsecond win of the sea-

son beating a Fusion FC squad 1-0. Fusion kept TOFC’s goal keeper Isaac Boehmer (OK Falls) busy throughout the game but could not find the back of the net. The lone goal of the game came thirty minutes into the first half when Gregor Smith (Kelowna) scored a goal from Edvin Holok’s (Kelowna) cross. Stuart Klenner (Kamloops) played a strong defensive game for TOFC and helped to keep Fusion off the scoreboard.

the TOFC girls fought hard but could not hold back the strong attacks from Fusion FC which opened the scoring 13 minutes into the game and took a 1-0 score to the half-time break.

TOFC came out with a strong push to start the second half of the game but could not hold back the athletic Fusion strikers, who controlled the ball with solid passing.

Fusion added two more goals in the second half for a 3-0 lead.

Determined to score the TOFC girls rallied and came back fighting.

▼ WINE FESTIVAL

Events already posting sellouts Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Early indications are that this year’s 33rd Fall Okanagan Wine Festival will be a great success, with several of the flagship events sold out weeks ahead of time.

Blair Baldwin, general manager of the Okanagan Wine Festivals Society, says they moved some events to larger venues this year to accommodate more people, and they’re glad that decision was made.

Already, both nights of the WestJet Wine Tastings in Kelowna the first weekend are sold out and those events sold out earlier than ever before, said Baldwin.

The Harvest Reds and B.C. Cheese event is also sold out.

The B.C. Wine Awards reception Oct. 3, which kicks off the festival, was moved this year from the Rotary Centre for the Arts into the Laurel Packinghouse next door, which can accommodate more than double the number of people, and it’s already half full.

“It’s looking extremely good for this year,” he said.

A feature of the festival’s 150 or more events are the wine and food pairings such as La Bussola’s Oct. 2 Barrel Tasting Dinner with Tyler Harlton Wines. It will be a three course dinner with four wines presented by the proprietor and the winemaker, at La Bussola Restaurant on Ellis Street in downtown Kelowna.

Sommelier and coowner Luigi Coccaro says they are also presenting the wines of two Oliver wineries, LaStella and Le Vieux Pin with a six course food pairing with three wines from each winery. It’s on Oct. 10.

Tickets for both events are available through the restaurant.

Okanagan Spirits is offering something a little different: a Winetender’s MixOff. Bartenders will pair up with the best local wines in a competition to mix up a winning cocktail, and you get to vote for your favourite drink.

It’s Tuesday, Oct. 8, beginning at 7 p.m., at the Laurel Packinghouse.

There’ll be live music, drinks and appetizers.

Tickets are available at:

In the Central Okanagan, there are also dinners and lunches and wine tastings at many local restaurants and wineries, as well as a grape stomp at the House of Rose and an opportunity for young chefs to show off their talents at The Young Chefs at Okanagan College Oct. 10.

The Kelowna Rockets, Capri Insurance, M&M Performance and BrainTrust Canada have joined forces to raise as much as $10,000 to help support people in the Okanagan who have suffered brain injuries.

The trio of local businesses are holding a charity raffle where one Rockets fan will win a 90 cc Polaris Outlaw quad, donated by M&M Performance.

Tickets are $10 and are available exclusively at Kelowna Rockets games.

With only 500 available, Capri Insurance stepped forward to match the amount raised to a maximum of $5,000 with the potential being $10,000 for BrainTrust Canada.

“This is an excellent fit for us to be partnering with the Kelowna Rockets, M&M Performance and Capri Insurance,” said Magda Kapp, director of communications for BrainTrust Canada Association.

“Almost everyone knows someone who has

been affected by brain injury, whether it be from a motor vehicle crash, stroke, fall in the workplace or at home, or other means.

“Our non-profit association works hard to bring awareness to this cause and we are very appreciative of being the charity of choice in this Rockets promotion.”

M&M Performance owner Larry Nickel was happy to get involved after having someone close to him suffer the effects of a brain injury.

Together with coowner Ted Allen, the pair were ready to help and add it to the charity work they already do.

“There is a personal tie-in for me with someone I know suffering a brain injury,” said Nickel.

“Our business is all about giving back to the community so we were excited about the opportunity to help out BrainTrust Canada.”

After M&M Performance set the Rockets up with a quad for mascot Rocky the Raccoon to use during intermission

events this season, Rockets marketing director Anne-Marie Hamilton approached the local company about donating it for charity and also brought Capri Insurance on board.

“I think this is a great partnership and I want to thank the Kelowna Rockets for putting it together in support of BrainTrust Canada,” said Irv Gorby, director of marketing and brand strategy for Capri Insurance.

“Capri Insurance is committed to the communities that we serve throughout the B.C. Interior and this joint fund-raising opportunity with BrainTrust Canada is another example of the ways in which Capri Insurance supports and serves the communities we live and work in” BrainTrust Canada is a progressive commun-

Culture Days hit Kelowna Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

For some, paint on a new pair of jeans, the tinkle of ivory chords and the odd squeak from a clarinet are part of the joy of living.

For others, soccer practice and hockey might be followed by a night chilling on the couch with an episode of Breaking Bad. Whatever your cultural palette contains, this weekend marks a time to celebrate, try something new and revel in the artistic spirit of your community—or any community nationwide—for Culture Days.

“Canadians can enjoy a one-day celebration of comic book culture in Vancouver, ballet performances at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet or participate in a public art pro-

ject in Prince Edward Island,” said Antoni Cimolino, Culture Days national chairman, in the organization’s final statement before the three-day event.

Culture Days is run by a non-profit organization of the same name, which is trying to build a national cultural network of support for the arts. Part movement, part publicity wagon, it emulates the iconic I Love New York campaign—arguably a cultural icon in itself—with its I Love Culture slogan. Every event included is free and run by volunteers; altogether it has brought 600,000 artists, arts and cultural organizations, community groups and volunteer events to Canadian communities.

Here in Kelowna, the events kick off following the downtown Mar-

ina opening Westcorp is hosting in Kerry Park from 2-6 p.m. Friday. Although the two events are entirely separate, the marina opening will include artists on site in the spirit of the weekend’s activities and Festivals Kelowna is helping round up buskers for entertainment.

Those milling about will want to move from the marina to the Kelowna Art Gallery, open 6-10 p.m. free of charge according to the event listing, and again the next day to host a series of workshops and tours.

Inside the gallery, Okanagan Life Magazine will showcase a selection of its photographs from the past 25 years and there will be behind the scenes tours of the closed portions of the facility on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.

In the common area,

the Cool Arts crew of differently-abled artists will be yarn bombing from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, a process which sees them knitting funky colours onto trees and inanimate objects, like park benches.

The art gallery events are inspired by cubism, the avant-garde art movement pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque and widely considered the most influential art movement of the last century.

Often geometric, always concerned with breaking down the image, volunteers at the art gallery will be helping participants put the cubist principals into practice painting a mural or drawing a “cubey, wacky still life at the easel,” according to gallery events coordinator Joshua Desnoyer. There will also be origami bouquets to fold and a Picasso-style face-painting session.

Meanwhile, on Bernard Avenue Friday evening, artists connected to the heART school have stepped in to set up a Cultural Crawl. The school, located at #5-375 Bernard Avenue, will have Sarah Mainland playing Celtic harp and Sterling Haynes will do a poetry reading at 7:15 p.m.

Dive into your Kings of Leon back in form on Mechanical Bull community’s culture ▼ CD REVIEWS

KINGS OF LEON: MECHANICAL BULL (RCA)

SOUNDING OFF

l

Mechanical Bull is the aKings Of Leon’s sixth album and something of a sreturn to form after the mixed reception of the belaboured 2010 album Come Around Sundown ,that sold relatively poorly.

- The group’s 2008 al-bum, Only By Night, was san absolute stunner where it seemed rock radio -played just about every track on the album as a hit single.

- That disc had at least ha half dozen airwave hits while the uber-hits Use tSomebody and Sex On Fire virtually saturated -modern rock radio and ecrossed over to pop radio -and even got club play. l The follow-up Come -Around Sundown was -a relative flop scoring -but one hit while the rest -of the album had some songs that were weak and -came off as filler.

Every track on this -new release is a winner -even though nothing is as oimmediately likable as the eaforementioned signature -songs.

The lead off up-tempo dsingle Supersoaker mixes hthe band’s unique brand cof post punk southern rock and their arena leant

Bruce Mitchell ings nicely with chiming guitars and the telling lyric “down in the delta you’re ringing bells.”

Meanwhile, rock radio has already jumped ahead to feature another song from this album with the spare and rootsy ballad Wait For Me which lyrically comes across as open ended, even though there is a theme of over indulgence that may explain the weakness of the Come Around Sundown album.

But for variety check out the glam rock overtones of Don’t Matter and Rock City (as in a southern Suffragette City), the R.E.M.-ish ringing guitars of Temple and the U2-like guitar dynamics of Tonight.

A very strong 11-track album but confirmed fans will want to check out the Deluxe Edition that has two additional songs with the demo-like Work On Me and the rootsy rocker Last Mile Home taken from the film August:

EARTH, WIND & FIRE: NOW, THEN & FOREVER (SONY) Earth, Wind & Fire should be considered something of an American national treasure.

They formed back in 1969 and for the last few decades have been releasing imaginative and groundbreaking blends of funk/pop/rock/jazz/disco and soul.

It is this amalgam that drives this new album where EW&F have scored a minor hit on the Adult Contemporary charts with the funky soul of My Promise, while they have charted on Smooth Jazz sites with the new age soul of Guided Lights where the band performs a six plus minute workout complete with horns, woozy synths and honeyed harmonies.

My fave track is the

energized Night Of My Life with its Carpe Diem dance sound that stands with the best the band has ever made.

Fans will want to note that this comes with six ‘free’ bonus tracks of yesteryear’s smash hits including Sing A Song, September (their signature song), Let’s Groove, After The Love Is Gone and their terrific cover of Got To Get You Into My Life re; the following GLEE/Beatles CD review.

The Bean Scene will have a feature artist and an artist participating in the 60 Artists in 60 Spaces initiative the Central Okanagan Arts Council has organized for this month. And Georgie Girl vintage retro clothing store will be doing a speakeasy event with music and chalk art.

Culture Crawl organizer Jolene Mackie said she’s hoping this first event will help bring a little flare to the Okangan art scene.

“I see the value in it. I went to school in Vancouver and always loved the Eastside Culture Crawl and Swarm and I guess I’m hoping it will just continue from here,” she said.

The Alternator Centre for the Arts, in the Rotary Arts Centre, will be offering a sneak peak of Dylan McHugh’s new exhibit, Swallow, open until 8 p.m. Friday, and Studio 113 will have an open studio night until 10 p.m. as part of the crawl. Finally, the Kelowna Public Library will host the Inspired Word Café at 7 p.m., an evening of poetry.

The following night, the French Cultural Centre will also host Nuit Blanche, an all-night arts festival contained within the centre on Saturday evening from 9 p.m. until 4 a.m. Sunday morning.

sellers given the tragic drug overdose death of Cory Monteith combined with the overwhelming popularity of The Beatles’ music. But if you were hoping to get your last fix of Monteith (sorry for the addiction idiom) you won’t find it on Sings The Beatles.

There is no Monteith here but it would have been interesting to see the public reaction if he had indeed sung ironic titles such as Help or Yesterday or even (gulp) A Hard Days Night.

Anyway, this season’s premier ran yesterday and I am sure that ratings will be way up as the morbidly curious wonder how they will write the Monteith character out of the show while this mediocre soundtrack neither advances nor hinders the Beatles legacy.

Engaging a healthier mindset M y mom once said that up until the age of 25, you have the body that you were born with. After that, you get the body you deserve.

This becomes more evident to us as we age.

Our physical state is the sum of every single decision we have made up until this point.

This includes what we eat and what we don’t eat, what we drink and what we don’t drink, and what we do and we don’t do.

So now that we are all accountable for our present state, let’s move forward to the power of choice, which is a superpower.

It is better than x-ray vision or being able to fly. It enables us to create whatever environment we want within ourselves.

Just as no one can tell you what to think, no one can tell you what to do.

This allows us greater and ultimate authority over our lives.

Someone once said you could live with the pain of discipline or you can live with the pain of disappointment. Both have drastically different outcomes.

We all know of many things we can do right now to change our health, from eating more vegetables, drinking more water, exercising more, meditating, sleeping enough, etc.

But when faced with all these choices, the new person that becomes you can be overwhelmed.

This is why I say to my patients make one change a week.

Just as you cannot get rich quick, you cannot be that healthy person that you desire overnight. But you can make that choice to start down the path of being a healthier person overnight.

Once again, that’s the power of choice.

The regimen I start my patients on is first to get used to drinking two litres of water a day.

The next week, I asked them to ensure that they get eight hours of sleep every night.

This sets you up for the third week in the new training that will be you, make sure that you exercise at least three to five times a week.

In the fourth week, I asked my patients to remove all wheat from their diet. There, in one month you are properly hydrated and detoxified, rested, fit have lost weight. That’s just the first month.

ASK DR.THIEL

Markus Thiel My wife is one of the most fit people I’ve ever

met. She eats well constantly, she exercises routinely and she’s living testament to the words I have written above.

In comparison, admittedly, I am a distant second to her. But the one thing that has bred success into everything she has done is that she has done it consistently, delib-

erately and on purpose.

Choose to live your life on purpose and you will see the benefits.

You don’t have to read a book, buy any fancy gadgets or join a class— just do it.

▼ FREEDOM’S CROSSROADS

Canadian stops on Underground Railroad Ellen Creager CONTRIBUTOR

LAKESHORE, Ontario—In the cornfields of Ontario, one of Canada’s most significant Underground Railroad sights is tucked behind tall grass and a red metal fence.

Nobody would ever find you here.

But of course, that was the original point.

When former slave John Freeman Walls and his white wife escaped from North Carolina to Canada in 1846, they simply wanted safety and peace. They found it on these 20 rural acres, where they raised a family and built a cabin.

Now somewhat tumbledown and embraced by wildflowers and thistles, its only visitors this September afternoon are fluttering butterflies and one busload of Detroit tourists.

Yet I found the modest Walls Historic Site a touching remembrance of the power of the Underground Railroad. It’s said that even civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks found solace at this place.

“It’s nice to come here

and say, oh, you reached the other side,” says Norma Sales of Detroit, one of a group of Michigan travellers on a two-day tour to see spots in southwest Ontario that make up the Canadian half of the freedom tale.

Underground Railroad historical sites are plentiful in the U.S. and especially in Detroit, one of the busiest crossing points to freedom. But in Canada, you can see the other half of the story— what happened to the estimated 30,000 people who crossed into southwest Ontario between 1834 and 1860. Black history is alive in Lakeshore, Amherstburg, Dresden, North Buxton and Windsor. Many fugitives who crossed in turn became key figures in the Underground Railroad.

The lessons these sites impart to visitors?

“Perseverance, hard work, doing the right thing—and don’t give up,” says Stewart McMillin, a Detroit tour guide who specializes in Underground Railroad tours, including sites in Canada. “There are so many stories here.”

You can navigate your own personal driving trip of Undergound Railroad sites in southwest Ontario, all part of the Ontario Heritage Trust Slavery to Freedom circuit.

Some are easy to find, like the North American Black Historical Museum in Amherstburg. Some are quite a drive from Detroit, like Uncle Tom’s Cabin in Dresden, north of Chatham. Some, like the Walls site, would be totally off your radar if you did not know how to find it.

You also can take an organized tour. McMillin, who specializes in black history and Underground Railroad tours, puts together such tours once or twice a year. Gary Winston of Michigan Millennium Metro Tours plans to offer them several times next summer.

Sheridan Daniels of Detroit, who took a McMillin tour Sept. 3, says she had no idea so much black history was in southwestern Ontario. For instance, “I had heard of Uncle Tom’s Cabin and read about it, but that’s about it,” she says. “I never had actually seen it before.”

Josiah Henson escaped from his Kentucky slave master in 1830 and came to Canada. He later wrote an autobiography, which writer Harriet Beecher Stowe used as inspiration for Uncle Tom’s Cabin. That 1853 novel helped change U.S. public opinion about slavery, although it later became controversial.

So one critical Underground Railroad stop in Ontario is in Dresden, where Henson started the New Dawn Settlement to help fugitive slaves start over in Canada. It turns out that the site’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin is no rustic cabin, but a pretty nice house where Henson—whose life was a far cry from the pejorative “Uncle Tom” image— lived.

In beautiful Amherstburg, the small North American Black Historical Museum documents the history of those who crossed the narrow Detroit River near Belle Isle to freedom—but the museum is intimate enough not to overwhelm visitors.

Nearby in Windsor, the Sandwich First Baptist Church has a trap

door where people could hide when slave-catchers crossed the Detroit River.

Meanwhile, back at the John Freeman Walls site, tourists gather around a red “freedom bell” meant to be rung by arriving fugitives.

When John and Jane Walls arrived in 1846, they helped start the local Baptist church, which in turn helped other arriving escaped slaves gain land to farm. This was crucial in the dire years after 1850 when the U.S. Fugitive Slave Act allowed runaway slaves to be arrested even in northern states like Michigan, forcing people to cross to Canada for safety.

Today, the Walls site has a railroad car that once was used as a small museum. A look through the dusty windows shows it in disarray.

Nearby is the Walls family cabin and several other sturdy-looking outbuildings. There is the family cemetery, where generations of Wallses are buried.

And there is nature’s handiwork—the low arc-

Big expectations for Mitsubishi’s smallest car Neil Moore CONTRIBUTOR

QUEBEC, PQ: It’s a slice of old-world Europe smack dab in eastern Canada.

With its narrow streets, flanked by 17thand 18th-century shops and homes that barely clear the incessant flow of traffic, Old Quebec was the ideal proving ground for Mitsubishi’s new three-cylinder subcompact, the Mirage.

Indeed, Old Quebec—the original walled city within the provincial capital—was the starting point for the recent North American launch of this tiny hatchback.

The folks at Mitsu chose this location, not only because this 400-year-old UNESCO world heritage site would, hopefully, showcase some of what’s best about the vehicle, but because the Quebec market is vital to the success of Mitsubishi,

now celebrating its 10th year in Canada.

What surprised me during the marketing presentation was not so much that Canadians have embraced the subcompact car, which overall has reached 100,000 vehicle sales in this country, but that Quebecers account for half this number.

And even more important to Japan’s oldSee Mitsubishi B2

MITSUBISHI’S new three-cylinder Mirage starts at a low $12,498 with five-speed manual the promise of superb fuel economy thanks to thrifty powertrains, low curb weight and slippery aerodynamics. The roof-mounted rear spoiler (left) adds a sporting element, as do the rising beltline and character line along the side.

THE 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback is available in a variety of bold colours, which really pop against this backdrop in rural Quebec.

numbers.

And although the company is conservatively aiming for its usual three to five per cent of the segment, you just know they’re hoping for more.

So, will the Mirage live up to expectations?

The target demographic is roughly one-quarter new buyers and three-quarters older buyers returning to market, and their top reasons for buying are fuel economy, value for the money, purchase price and warranty.

The Mirage is rated at 5.9/4.6/5.3L/100km (city/hwy/combo) with the standard-equipped five-speed manual, and 5.3/4.4/4.9 with the op-

tional CVT. Mitsu claims the CVT highway figure makes its new car the most fuel-efficient, gas powered (non-hybrid) vehicle in Canada. And whether or not you put much stock in government fuel numbers, Mitsu couldn’t have achieved this without serious thought to nearly every component of the design.

First is the engine. Its 1.2-litre three-cylinder with variable valve timing has been tweaked and tuned for higher compression, reduced friction and oil pump flow, delivering more power on less fuel.

Well, not a ton of power, as it peaks at 74 hp and 74 lb/ft of torque, compared

THE 2014 Mirage is powered by a 1.2-litre DOHC three-cylinder engine that delivers 74 hp and 74 lb/ft of torque. Taking into account its 895 kg curb weight, its power-toweight ratio is a competitive one hp per 12.1 kg. to the Chevy Spark’s 84 and 83.

Keep in mind, however, that with its use of high-tensile steel and

other weight saving measures, the Mirage tips the scales at only 895 kg compared to the Spark’s 1,029 and Fiat 500’s 1,074. It’s

even lighter than the much smaller, three-passenger Scion iQ. Yet despite its light weight, Mirage is reasonably commodious, providing ample leg and headroom in front, and adequate clearance for most in back. It’s rated for three rear passengers, but two ride more comfortably—preferably when scooting around town rather than on long journeys due to the bench’s light padding.

You’d expect small-footprint vehicles with an upright seating position to have the aerodynamics of a shopping cart. Not so for the Mirage.

With a drag coefficient of 0.28, thanks to its teardrop shape, this subcompact slips through the wind. Less resistance means less fuel.

Also contributing to the Mirage’s thrift is transmission design. Not the five-speed, which you’d think would be tops in fuel economy—but the CVT. It owes its efficiency to advancements like the world’s first application of an auxiliary gearbox (providing the world’s highest gear ratio of 7.3), smaller pulley, super flat torque converter, high efficiency oil pump, and a function that shifts the transmission into neutral when stopped in traffic.

But these fuel savings come at a cost—$1,200 for the CVT in both the base ES and higher SE trim—and the approximate $100 in annual fuel savings, on its own, won’t justify the added spend.

Its smoothness and relative quietness, however, especially under hard acceleration, make it good choice.

But in this segment, value for the money is about more than fewer

The ES model with five-speed gearbox starts at $12,498, and comes with the basics: four-speaker audio system, tilt steering, 60/40 split-fold rear seats, power windows (front honly), front/rear inter-

mittent wipers, seven airbags, 14-inch steel wheels with wheelcovers and front disc brakes with rear drums.

It’s a frugal package, and this barebones car without air conditioning is not likely to attract many buyers. Mitsubishi expects their volume seller to be the SE with CVT. The SE model with manual gearbox starts at $15,398 ($16,598 with

CVT) and adds keyless entry, automatic air conditioning, a full set of power windows, heated front seats with driver’s height adjust, heated exterior mirrors, 14-inch alloys, fog lamps and more.

In terms of performance, it would be unfair to set the bar too high, as this vehicle is designed to be a fuel sipper, not a pocket rocket like the much pricier Fiat Abarth, MINI or Golf GTI. Even with the fivespeed, gearing is tall for better fuel economy, so the manual Mirage won’t launch much more quickly than a CVT model. But it’s still more fun to drive.

Let’s just say that the Mirage is as quick as it needs to be in a vehicle that is inexpensive to buy, to fuel, and with its extensive warranty, to keep on the road.

Audi has put a new twist on an old idea and come up with what just might be a self-sustaining natural gas-powered car.

Dual fuel is not new.

You can find ethanol, propane and compressed natural gas cars and trucks all over Canada.

Where the Audi A3 Sportback g-tron is different is it can use gasoline, compressed natural gas or what Audi calls e-gas.

The latter is a synthetic methane that Audi creates. It starts with two giant windmills in the North Sea owned by Audi.

Power from these goes to a purpose-built prototype plant where the electricity is used to separate water into oxygen and hydrogen.

The oxygen is vented into the atmosphere while CO2 is added to the hydrogen during the “methanization” process in the plant, thus creating e-gas.

The e-gas can then be stored or added to the existing natural gas infrastructure much as solar panel owners add electricity to the grid.

The gas is stored onboard the A3 g-tron in two fibre-reinforced plastic tanks. Because they are GRP, they only add 32 kg to the overall weight of car.

But each tank can hold up to 14.4 kg of compressed e-gas for a range of 400 km. When the tanks are depleted, the driver switches over to gasoline.

With two sources, Audi engineers at the g-tron presentation earlier this year in Berlin estimated a range of up to 1,300 km.

The engine in the A3 g-tron is a 1.4-litre, turbo-

al gas that was created by turbines, you would have sustainable transportation for as long as there is water and wind.

Through the streets of downtown Berlin I drove on natural gas alone, finding the acceleration of the line sluggish but the turbo quickly came into play with just a hint of lag.

When it came to punching the “gas” for a lane change, the 1.4-litre responded well.

All the premium materials Audi puts into their vehicles were unchanged in the g-tron, giving the interior that Audi panache.

The A3 g-tron goes on sale in Europe in 2014 but there are no plans to bring it to Canada at this time.

But with the proliferation of wind turbines in Ontario and the current oversupply of electricity, an e-gas facility or facilities makes for a compelling argument in favour.

Considering how much untapped gas we already have in this country (pardon the pun), the A3 g-tron is a natural.

YOUR HEALTH President’s own story: 15 years ago I started to have arthritis, prostate, kidney, snoring and sleep apnea problems, which were all helped quickly with natural health products. I made it my life’s purpose to help others. Nick A. Jerch

ARTHRITIS

NPN 80042283 Helps to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis.

Truthful actual experiences from real people:

< For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage #1 spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON <My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA<I tried another brand and pain came back.

2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON<For 32 years I cried barrels of tears. Was in and out of hospitals costing society tens of thousands of dollars. I have taken many thousands of pills that nearly killed me. Finally 3 bottles of Bell Shark Cartilage costing less than $100 stopped a lifetime of suffering without side effects. Eleanor Sauson, Shigawake, QC <I suffered for years with sciatica. I tried everything and finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. After this experience I realised I could help #1 many of those 5 million Canadian that suffer every day and night and I started to sell this same type of shark cartilage and helped hundreds of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle Products. <Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night”…hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away byproduct of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

for air (sleep apnea) first night. Stops torturing your partner all night. Good sleep prevents being tired next day. Tired people work only at half capacity.< I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use.

Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS < For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS <It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or #23 stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief.

I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

Allergies

What people experience: <I tried numerous other remedies all my life that were not effective. Since I discovered #24. I do not have a stuffy nose and itchy eyes when pollen season comes around.

I don’t have to walk around like a doped zombie anymore. Leonard Waldner, 44, Delia, AB < For 20 years my life was miserable with sneezing, watery eyes and sinus pressure year-round on most days. I was amazed. On 3rd day all allergies were gone. It was like magic. Becky Gerber, 25, Dover, OH <Golfing without allergy attacks I tried all the medications and none worked. After taking 1 capsule in the morning I’m completely free of all symptoms. Richard Gamez, 74, San Antonio, TX <God bless you I went from doctor to doctor for years with #24 allergy sinus problems. The medications made me still sicker. After starting Bell Allergy Relief one capsule at night I felt like born again the next morning. Therese Noto, 58, New York, NY.

Pat Pearce, 53, Brantford, ON < 30 years of bladder infections gone! For 30 years my doctor prescribed antibiotics. As soon as the medication finished the next bladder infection came back. After 2 days taking Bell # 31 I noticed a complete relief of my infection I had all these 30 years. God bless you all for helping all of us women. Emell Whitaker, 69, Bronx, NY < Bladder infections kept on coming back. Since starting Bell Bladder & Yeast Infection #31 my infection was gone and I now take it from time to time for prevention and I have no more bladder or yeast infections. I told family and friends how good Bell products are. Thank you! Maria Racz, 60, Vancouver, BC <Went to the bathroom 10 times in an hour #31 and more frequently at night!. In the last 2 years I went a number of times to the doctor and got different antibiotics and none of them worked. My urination would burn enormously. I bought your Bell Bladder & Yeast infection #31.

It changed the face of City Park, and in many ways it was the beginning of the end to a truly wonderful place and time for Kelowna residents. It was almost the end of innocence, so to speak.

As a youngster, I spent hundreds of hours at the structure where thousands of other kids, teens and adults gathered daily to swim in the outdoor pool, complete with racing lanes, starter boxes for swim races, and of course the popular Athens diving tower.

sCapital News Friday, September 27, 2013

Hodge from B8 those days as we’d gather at the Regatta bleachers and hang out for the day in the water.

The basic, uncovered, outdoor structure also played host to various events during the old Regatta event in City Park.

Regatta was a wonderful four- or five-day festival in the park geared towards entertaining locals with a very distinct family feel. Local children would flock to the park and take part in swimming and diving competitions, open to all ages and, best of all, free. In the evenings, the bleachers would jam pack with families taking in the popular Regatta shows that featured musical acts, comedians, clowns, diving and synchronized swim shows, fireworks, and all kinds of other great events.

When the fire burnt down the structure, it also ended that small town feel to the festival.

Years later a series of riots (two in fact) put an end to Regatta and— though it made a brief comeback—eventually the event died.

Like a number of other long-time Kelowna residents, I would love to see Regatta return to Kelowna and to our City Park.

While it is fine and dandy to have money making, tourist generating events take place, I know I’m not alone when I suggest what is missing is the family fun, participation-for-all event like Regatta used to offer.

Instead, the wrong things are planned for our park. I shudder when I hear that city council is supporting the concept of having Tourism Kelowna relocate into City Park, complete with vehicle access.

The idea lacks logic on a number of levels, especially considering the traffic flow problems it would create with tourists attempting to get in and out of City Park so close to the entry onto the bridge.

Common sense says a tourist information facility assisting tourists needs to be easily accessed along the side of Highway 97— not in a community park which includes passive pathways, flower gardens, and our cenotaph.

Numerous years ago the road that traversed through City Park was removed to make the park safer for families and foot traffic. Putting a road back into the park makes no sense.

For half a century, City Park was a place de-

NEWS

signed for locals to enjoy.

But over the past 20 years or so, it seems that the shift has gone towards using the park for entre-

preneurial reasons and not families.

Far too many times the park has been fenced off and locals charged ad-

mission to enter their own park while a money making festival catering to tourists had taken over.

It’s time that Kelowna

City Park is truly dedicated back to serving local residents first and tourists and the almighty dollar second. It’s also time

that Regatta returned, giving our youth and families something to truly enjoy without having to take out a bank loan.

And maybe then I could take a few pictures of the event and send them to my brother. I think he would like that.

A traveler ventured forth one day upon a long and winding road with faith and trust to lead the way, with strength and will to bear his load.

Until at last one quiet night, He climbed a hill's soft rounding crest and saw afar a single light that seemed to promise peace and rest.

And following it's glow, he came upon the house in which it shone.

A voice inside called out his name and told him he was truly home.

Together Always, Allan

JERVIS, NORA

Gone to join her greatest loves, God and husband Norman, Nora Patricia Jervis passed away on September 23, 2013 at the age of 87 years. Nora embraced each and every day and found contentment and comfort in her faith, family, and friends.

Nora’s passion for home and Church were the cornerstones of her life. Her generous and caring spirit lives on in those that hold her so dear: sons Michael and Paddy, daughter-inlaw Janine, beloved granddaughters Caylene & Tia and her sister, Phil Fitzgerald.

Born in Dundalk, Ireland in 1926, Nora worked for a number of years in Dublin as an architectural assistant.

Her Canadian adventure began when Nora met a young Canadian man who was on holidays in Ireland. Armed with little more than love and trust in her heart, Nora emigrated to McBride, BC in 1963 where she married Norman Harry Jervis that same year. Within a short time, the Jervis family grew with the arrival of Paddy, and shortly thereafter, Michael. After eight years in McBride, Nora and family settled in Kelowna where mom led an active life raising two boys as well as being a devoted member of the Immaculate Conception Parish. Later in life, Nora and Norman enjoyed being involved in their grandchildren’s lives. Mom was especially proud of the fact that Tia and Caylene have pursued and excelled in Irish dancing.

Nora’s life abruptly changed in 1999 when Norman passed away after almost 37 years of marriage. Although his absence was deeply felt, Nora’s faith in God gave her comfort and strength. Always active and engaged in the world around her, Nora maintained her independence until 2012 when she moved to Sunpointe Village.

Her final months and days in Kelowna were happy ones.

With son Michael, Nora enjoyed trips to the beach, dinners out or in, spirited debate, and a continued, loving friendship.

She leaves us to mourn her passing while celebrating her return to the arms of those she loved with such dedication.

Prayers will be recited on Sunday, September 29, 2013 at 7:30 pm and a Mass will be held on Monday, September 30th at 10:30 am both at Immaculate Conception Parish, 839 Sutherland Ave., Kelowna, BC. Per Nora’s wishes, and for those wishing to acknowledge her life, in lieu of flowers, please provide a donation towards offering for the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for the deceased.

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

HORNSBERGER, FRANK HENRY Frank went to join his love Helen in September of 2013 at the age of 92. He is survived by his loving family; brother Henry (Jean) Hornsberger of Prince George, BC; sister Ester Stobbs of Burnaby, BC; and many nieces and nephews. Frank is sadly predeceased by his wife, Helen. Frank was born on November 25, 1920 in Regina, SK. He lived in the Qu’ Appelle Valley until age 17, and then in 1937 moved with his family to Kelowna. Frank joined the BC Dragoons in 1940. He was a driver and mechanic in the Tank Corp., and he served in North Africa, Italy, France, and the Netherlands (Europe). Twice wounded in action but he returned to active duty each time.

Frank was discharged in 1946. He met Helen Tree at a St. Valentine’s Day dance in February 1946 and the two were married on May 1, 1946. Frank pursued his love of mechanics in the subsequent years. He owned a garage, drove/maintained logging trucks, worked in garages in Duncan, Abbottsford and Elliot Lake, but worked principally in Ford Motor Auto Centres. Ford Motors told Frank when he retired that he was their best diagnostic mechanic in Canada. Frank and Helen loved to travel and toured North America in RVs, and later in their Lincoln (which he prized). Their favourite areas were their drives down the Pacific Coast, and trips into the deep Zion and Grand canyons. Frank enjoyed good jokes, humorous stories and regaled his family with his wit and humour.

Frank lost Helen in 2006, but his love for her was endless.

Frank was a vital part of his extended family and will be deeply missed by all of them. A Visitation will be held for family and friends between 10:00 am and 11:00 am on Saturday, September 28, 2013 at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna. Should family and friends so desire, donations may be made to the Okanagan Military Museum, 1424 Ellis Street, Kelowna, BC V1Y 2A5.

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

LANGEMAN, PETER

ELDER, LEO

Information

It is with sad refrain that we announce the passing of Peter Langeman.

Born on September 3, 1932 in Beverley, Saskatchewan, he grew up in a Mennonite family on a farm in southwestern Saskatchewan. As a boy growing up on the prairies during the years of the Great Depression, he gained an appreciation for big skies and vast landscape, and with this, came great curiosity and thought development, which, as he grew older, evolved into an ability to think clearly and rationally a hallmark of his character that remained steadfast throughout his life. Scholastically, Peter excelled throughout his school years and was destined for University. Not having enough funds to pay for first year university, Peter elected to work for a year to save money, and it was during the summer of 1951 during a stint as a surveyor’s assistant during the construction of the new Trans Canada Highway, and mentoring by an astute on-site Engineering Supervisor, that paved the way for Peter to then decide that Engineering should be his vocation in life.

Peter studied Civil Engineering, specializing in structures, for 4 years at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, graduating in 1955 with a B. Sc. in Civil Engineering, with Great Distinction. Peter was also awarded a two year fellowship to Britain, allowing him one year of advanced studies in Structures at Imperial College in London and one year with Dorman Long Limited in Yorkshire, Britain’s largest structural steel mill and fabricator at the time, where bridge design, engineering and fabrication were specialities. During the two years of his fellowship, along with engineering colleague, Don Shields, Peter and Don set out on their BSA motorcycles and explored numerous countries in Europe, fulfilling their objective to explore as much of Europe as they could, within their time constraints, before returning to Canada.

As a Professional Engineer, Peter’s productive period began in 1957, working his first 5 years with Dominion Bridge in Winnipeg, Manitoba, being involved in structural design for high voltage transmission towers throughout the province’s burgeoning period of infrastructure growth. Peter married Susan Heinrichs in 1958, in Swift Current, Saskatchewan.

In 1963, Peter and Susan, with first son Craig and daughter Sandra in tow, moved to Toronto, where Peter Jr. was born.

Peter Sr. thereafter worked more than 35 years with reputable Consulting Engineering firms and Design/Build firms, where his work was pivotal to the structural design and operational success of large coal-fired, nuclear and gas turbine power stations, university buildings, professional buildings and bridges. In latter years Peter was involved with an Ontario School Board and at a technical college as an Engineering Instructor.

Predeceased by his brother Edward and Arthur, Peter will be greatly missed by his sisters Mary Horst, Helen Langemann and Susie Gutwin, as well as his wife Susan Langeman and son Craig Langeman, with his wife Mariola, daughter Sandra Langeman and son Peter Langeman Jr., with his wife Evelyn and their daughter Jennifer.

Peter commented in later life that the Engineering profession is very fulfilling career-wise, but through his own experience, an Engineer should not expect social recognition on a grand scale, nor any fanfare or great accolades to be bestowed upon him or her, so in keeping with his humble beginnings, Peter recognized early-on about the low-key societal acceptance of the Engineering profession, realizing it just becomes society’s expectation and norm to have a safe bridge to cross, or to have safe roads to travel on, or to work in structurally safe buildings or schools, or to receive a safe electrical supply to one’s home or business. The reward, at the end of the day, was that the concrete and structural steel project was structurally sound, was “built to code”, and the construction deadline for a given project was met.

This Engineering manifesto would deliver a steady paycheque, and that was, many times, the only reward at a project’s conclusion for a Professional Engineer, like Peter. Peter was a friend to many, an outstanding Civil Engineer, a great husband, and a great father. He also had a great fondness for the next generation of Engineers that the mantle has been passed onto, and he had every confidence that they will contribute to the continued growth of this vast and wondrous country.

Peter will be sorely missed.

In his hometown of Swift Current, Saskatchewan, a graveside service will be held at 1:00pm on Friday, October 4th, 2013 at the Memory Gardens Cemetery, Swift Current, SK followed by a memorial service and reception at 2:00pm at Ashley Park Hall, Swift Current, SK with funeral arrangements by Warren’s Funeral Home.

▼ OF PRIME INTEREST

Don’t lose sight of long-term needs Chamber gathering to What we choose to do today will affect what will determine our future.

That is especially true when looking for a new home as we have our eyes on the mortgage interest rates today to help purchase that home.

But our needs today will be different from our needs down the road.

If you are a young couple without children, you do not necessarily need that larger three-bedroom home.

In saying that, think about a property that is not beyond your means. Think about what you can afford today within your budget knowing, as you get older, you will hopefully increase the equity in your current home to enable you to upgrade to a larger home if you start a family.

Also, your income should increase allowing you to maintain a mortgage and other debts within your new budget.

Always keep in mind there will be unforeseen expenses—vehicle maintenance, clothing, entertainment, etc.

Always plan to put funds aside to alleviate the stress of having to put those expenses on credit cards.

The same goes for the type of mortgage and interest rate you

choose today.

There are several things you must think about—choosing a variable or guaranteed rate, whether to opt for an open or closed mortgage.

What will you be doing over the next 10 years? Do you wish to pay down your mortgage quickly? Stay in your home for a few years? Will you be selling and moving into a larger home?

Will you come into extra money to be able to pay down your mortgage? Do you have a low interest rate right now and want to keep that rate?

CLOSED VARIABLE MORTGAGE RATES

Should you choose this type of mortgage and decide to pay it off prior to maturity, there will be a three-month interest penalty. You can opt out of the mortgage and into a closed, guaranteed mortgage with the same institution without penalty. As the interest rate will fluctuate you must act quickly to lock into a closed, guaranteed mortgage when the prime interest rate increases.

OPEN VARIABLE MORTGAGE RATE

This mortgage is called “open,” meaning you may pay off the entire mortgage without penalty. You can also lock in to a closed mortgage without penalty.

You can put lump sum amounts

against the mortgage without penalty, thereby possibly saving you thousands of dollars in interest over the term of the mortgage.

CLOSED GUARANTEED MORTGAGE RATES

This mortgage is portable to another property should you sell and the interest rate is good on the existing mortgage. You may pay off up to a certain percentage per annum without penalty and increase your payments once annually up to a certain percentage. If you pay off the mortgage prior to maturity there will be a penalty of either three months interest or an interest rate differential.

CREDIT LINE

An open credit facility that can be paid out without penalty. This is classified as a “revolving” credit facility, which means that when it is paid down or out you have the ability to go back up to the limit without qualifying.

showcase the Okanagan Kelowna will host hundreds of chamber of commerce officials from across Canada this weekend.

A total of 450 conference delegates and spouses are expected to descend on the city starting today, as the Canadian Chamber of Commerce holds its annual general meeting here, immediately followed by a meeting of the Chambers of Commerce Executives of Canada.

The Kelowna Chamber of Commerce will host both groups at the Delta Grand Okanagan Hotel and Conference Centre.

“We bid for the conference more than 18 months ago,” said Kelowna chamber CEO Caroline Grover.

“While it’s hard to believe the day has finally come for everyone to arrive and for our chamber directors and staff to host this broad-based group, we’re delighted to

roll out our very special Okanagan red carpet for everyone.”

While conference delegates will attend a broad range of sessions at the Delta Grand, Kelowna chamber president David Bond said there will be plenty of time to play and enjoy the very special features of the Okanagan.

“This is the first time in the Canadian chamber’s hosting history of these conferences that they declared a sold-out event,” he said.

“Everything is sold out. Hotel space, the gala, the conference sessions.

Even we directors are having trouble getting into certain sessions.”

Sponsorship response from many of the Kelowna chamber’s 1,200 members, and from other chambers in the Valley from Osoyoos to Vernon has been overwhelming, said local organizers.

Forty-six companies and chambers alone are supporting the Ke-

lowna chamber’s Okanagan Night on Sunday at the Rotary Centre for the Arts. In addition, two days of spousal tours are planned as well.

“These delegates will truly see the best the Okanagan has to offer,” said Grover. “From wine and golf to the arts and the lake, and what a great time of year to admire and enjoy the bounty of the area.”

The conference is expected to bring in about $725,000 to the community and provide an unparallelled opportunity to showcase the area to key business leaders.

Featured speakers here will include Governor General David Johnston, B.C. Premier Christy Clark, Douglas Porter, chief economist with BMO Financial Group, David Goldstein, president and CEO of TIAC, and Mark Brand owner of Save on Meats in Vancouver’s Gastown.

shOwCAsE ▼ REAL ESTATE

▼ SOPA SQUARE

Optimism for Kelowna development Winds of change Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Prior to last spring, the Sopa Square construction site was better known for idle cranes and building delays than for the future location of a promising $70 million, mixed-use development.

But Mark West, founder and president of Epic Real Estate Solutions Inc., believes Sopa Square is back on track to becoming the type of development that will change the City of Kelowna—for the better.

Epic Real Estate Solutions recently won the contract to manage Sopa Square’s sales and marketing program of the residential tower and townhomes.

With 27 years of experience on more than 40 different projects throughout North America, which have amounted to a total sales in excess of $1.2 billion, West says Sopa Square’s history doesn’t worry him.

“I’ve done a lot of work on projects that had challenges,” says West.

“They’ve never frightened us—there’s always a solution. There’s definitely a solution here; this is a great project.”

Standing on the roof of a commercial space building, which could have businesses moving in by the end of this year, West compares the surrounding South Pandosy neighbourhood to Kitsilano and Calgary’s Kensington Village. He is optimistic Sopa Square will be South Pandosy’s “community landmark.”

Epic Real Estate Solutions recently won the contract to manage Sopa Square’s sales and marketing program. ing the project closely for the last three years.

“This is the type of community that I’ve worked on in other locations…the multi-family, the stacked condos have always been an area of

high interest for me.

“This gave me an opportunity to work 10 minutes from where I live.”

Over the past several weeks, interest in the project has been gaining

momentum, according to West.

“The interest we’re getting is particularly at the high end of the market. We’re getting activity in the $2 million-plus price range—that was

shocking to me.

“The bulk of purchasers are (aged) between 40 and 65. Most of them are empty-nesters…about 60 per cent of the market is local.”

West says another strategy that seems to be working is splitting the development into three phases, rather than selling all commercial, residential and townhome spaces at once.

“Our ability to split into phases makes it much more sellable—we can get construction financing on a smaller portion, requiring less pre-sales.”

He adds active leasing is happening on the commercial side of the project, with a large potential anchor tenant showing considerable interest in a 25,000-square-foot retail space.

The mix of residential and commercial will be integrated within a 12-storey tower hosting commercial space at street level. Residential suites will include 99 mountain- or city-view homes, 48 city townhomes and 51 tower residences.

Planned amenities include an outdoor courtyard plaza, rooftop terrace, green spaces, a fitness facility, secure bike and kayak storage and secure parking.

The commercial components consist of over 40,000-square-feet of retail space and over 14,000-square-feet of second-floor commercial space. Residences range from $299,900 to $2.25 million. West says the current target is to have the residential tower completed by spring 2015.

result in making career move

I

have noticed that activity in the Central Okanagan real estate market has picked up in the last two weeks.

The phones are starting to ring again.

Perhaps it’s due to the fact that the children are back into the school routine and parents can now focus more on their house hunting search.

As the weather has REAL ESTATE been dreary this last week RUNDOWN in the Central Okanagan, it has become encouraging for home hunters to get back on the phone with their real estate agent Ceinwen and start compiling a list homes to view before Morgan of the snow comes, for history has shown the slower real estate sales year is during the winter months.

When the slowdown hits, the ‘down time’ offers an opportunity for real estate agents and their assistants to focus on marketing or restructuring to gear up for next spring.

For some of my avid readers of Real Estate Rundown, you might be aware that I currently work with a dynamic duo at Re/Max Kelowna.

I have been with Jennifer Black and Tim Stanfield for three years now and as with everything in life, change is necessary to keep things fresh.

I have decided to make a career move and join up with another outstanding ReMax realtor, Mark Ranger.

As much as I’m going to miss working along side Jennifer and Tim, I am excited and looking forward to the move.

Ranger is a fun and vibrant real estate agent who is looking to expand his business by bringing me on board.

Change is good, but it can be challenging. I have always said that the only way you know you are truly growing and developing yourself is when you force yourself out of your comfort zone and into something unknown.

It is at that moment of uncertainty your true colours show and your strengths shine through.

Buying a new home or selling, changing jobs or moving towns can all be a challenging adjustment, so surround yourself with outstanding and supportive colleagues, friends and family and never doubt any decision you’ve made or will make.
