t’s hard to believe but it was 10 years ago that B.C. Hockey announced the formation of a Major Midget League in B.C. that would operate as a league outside of minor hockey, featuring 11 regional teams including the Okanagan Rockets and would compete to represent B.C. in the chase for Canada’s midget hockey championship. Many players and coaches have come and gone and the league has evolved, changing the landscape of the hockey scene across the province.

Major Midgets ready for championship run Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

s a 15-year-old rookie on the Okanagan Rockets, Tyson Jost has much more on his mind than his next shift. A top 10 Western Hockey League bantam draft pick by the Everett Silvertips this summer and a Grade 10 student who is already coveted by NCAA universities, Jost is one of only two 15-year-olds on the Rockets this season, the 10th season since the establishment of the B.C. Major Midget League. The league is governed by B.C. Hockey and operates outside of the realm of minor hockey with players between 15 and 17 years of age. At one point during the BCMML’s history, the league limited the number of 17-yearold players a team could carry. But there are no rules now and this season the Rockets will ice perhaps its oldest team since beginning operation in Kelowna, featuring 10 17-year-old players, eight 16-year-olds and a pair of 15-year-olds. Some in the hockey world say those 17-yearolds would be better off developing at the junior level, while several players have opted to return to the Rockets for their final season of midget hockey for a chance to win a championship.

That elusive championship—the Okanagan Rockets have only won the BCMML title once and no team has ever won Canada’s midget championship, the Telus Cup— is something that is motivating the Okanagan Rockets, both at the management and player levels. ••• For the past two school seasons, Tyson Jost took his education mostly through correspondence at the Pursuit of Excellence. He studied the core education courses for part of the school day and practiced hockey for the other part of his day. It was enough to get him through Grade 8 and 9. But when the school bell rang at Kelowna Secondary School this year, Jost was among the new Grade 10s walking the halls of KSS, getting back into regular schooling and getting set for his first season in the BCMML. “I did find the first few days of school a bit of a challenge but other than that I got back into the routine,” said Jost this week, who like any Grade 10 student admitted to being distracted at times during the day. “At POE, we would practice during the day and this year we practice at night. The whole day at school I’m waiting for practice and waiting to get back on the ice.” Jost is a bit of a new

KEVIN PARNELL/CAPITAL NEWS

TYSON Jost is one of only two 15-year-olds who are playing on the Okanagan Rockets Major Midget League squad this season. He is already a top 10 WHL bantam draft selection by the Everett Silvertips and has caught the eye of NCAA university recruiters in the U.S. breed of Okanagan Rockets’ player. Teams in the BCMML are based on regional boundaries with the Rockets drawing from Kelowna and the surrounding area. Jost came to Kelowna two years ago to attend the Pursuit of Excellence and his family moved to the area and decided to stay. After playing both of his bantam years at POE, Jost decided it was time for a more traditional hockey experience, where he would face the pressures associated with playoff games and the

chase for a national championship. “One of the big reasons I came here was because of the league,” said Jost. “It’s great. You are playing two games every weekend and there is playoffs at the end of the year. That’s the only thing POE didn’t have was a solid league. I wanted to come here and be in situations like the playoffs where your team could get knocked out.” Okanagan Rockets general manager David Michaud, in his fourth year managing the Rock-

ets, says the academies and the general lay of the land in the hockey community have forced the major midget program to make changes to attract players. “I will give the academies all sorts of credit for making the Okanagan Rockets better,” said Michaud. “We lost some players to them when I started this job. It forced me to say, ‘Why don’t these players want to come here?’ “We heard concerns about ice time and practice time and facilities

and it made me evaluate what we were doing. We expanded our practice times. We built the dressing room and the coaches’ room and really started to build our program and eliminate peoples’ objections.” In his future, Jost will have to decide where he wants to play and at what level of junior hockey. He is learning a new school, a new team and as a young up and coming prospect, trying to balance the pressures of real life and hockey. But when it comes time to put on the hockey gear and play the sport he loves, none of that matters. “When I step on the ice…it’s just freedom,” he said. “I’m with my teammates and we’re pushing each other and all the other stuff is pushed aside. I’m just trying to focus on getting better.” ••• Long-time Kelowna hockey coaches Grant Sheridan and Ken Andrusiak had been coaching Kelowna’s top midget hockey team for five years when B.C. Hockey came calling, asking them to step behind the bench in the BCMML when it began play in the 2004-05 season. There was no regional system in place for top players, meaning a high level midget in Winfield or West Kelowna, couldn’t come to Ke-

lowna and develop with players of a similar skill. So while the Kelowna midget AAA team at the time was successful, when it played at high level tournaments across the country, there was no comparison. “When we would go to premier scouting events in Prince Albert or Quebec or Calgary, the reality was you were going there knowing you had very little chance,” said Sheridan. “Forming the BCMML was absolutely an enhancement of the midget program in B.C. It brought top players together and produced a top midget league in B.C.” But there were growing pains along the way. Sheridan and Andrusiak guided the Okanagan Rockets to the BCMML title in their second year and put together a 27-8-5 record in year three before being replaced behind the bench. B.C. Hockey’s official reason was they wanted to develop coaches as well as players. “We found it a bit interesting that B.C Hockey would replace the coaching staff on our team and not others in the league,” said Sheridan after the move that saw the Rockets lose all of its volunteers as well. “But we are proud of what we did.

Solution posed for cyclists Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

In less than 24 hours, an online petition posted by UBCO professor Paul Shipley garnered more than 500 signatures this week in a bid to find safe passage for cyclists trying

to access the school. The lack of a bike route to campus has been the primary target of cycling advocacy in this city, the topic of a multiple plaintiff lawsuit and years of similar petitions—to no avail. “We still, to this day,

do not have a safe and legal way to commute by bike to this campus,” said Shipley on Wednesday afternoon, an hour after he Googled online petitions and set up his plan on change.org. Change.org is an online petition platform used

to successfully advocate for a wide range of social justice issues. Shipley may soon add “The University of British Columbia: Build a bike path along the north side of Robert Lake” to the company’s list of successful petitions. Cyclists trying to commute to campus today must choose between two options—braving the highway toward the flyover on an extremely treacherous stretch or trespassing along a private road off the Curtis Road loop in Glenmore. The Glenmore homeowners want the gravel road to remain private badly enough they waged a legal battle for several years against the university to ensure those running and biking on the 500-metre stretch would keep away.

ROBERTS Lake in Glenmore, with the UBC Okanagan campus site in the background. Stating the route is not safe and likely would never be safe, they argued the marshy property would forever hamper efforts to keep the road free of dangerous pot holes, and that they did not deserve the onslaught of vandals and noise. Their argument was backed by the fact one cyclist crashed and died on the road; the court upheld their property rights. The route Shipley is suggesting removes

the neighbours from the picture by taking cyclists from Roberts Lake Regional Park at the end of Curtis Road in the opposite direction around the lake through the new endowment lands. “The timing of this petition is great for us,” said Bud Mortenson, UBCO communications department. Noting the administration of the school has been actively pursing the suggestion since it came to their attention Wed-

nesday, Mortenson said the petition shines a spotlight on the planning exercise the university has just launched. When the university was created in 2005, the vision for the school did not include its engineering department or medical school or the West Campus land, purchased from the city in 2010. Hence a new master plan is underway. Shipley’s suggestion does face a few potential roadblocks. Mortenson believes there may be a protective environmental covenant around the Roberts Lake wetland, one of the few breeding grounds of the American avocet. There are also a couple of neighbours along the west side of Roberts Lake the university would need to consult, and a small strip of land owned by the Glenmore Ellison Improvement District would be impacted, for which the university already has an easement. However, the plan could very well feed cyclists into the planned John Hindle Drive campus access, making it a very appealing option for the university. Terms for negotiating how this new road will connect Glenmore to the campus have just been set between the city and university. UBCO could not foot the bill alone and the new trail would need to suit the overall planning needs of the municipality, Mortenson said, noting transportation planning in the area is desperately needed. “There has just been a rise in the general transportation needs in this sector (of the city) and we think it’s really time to get down to making things happen,” he said. Mortenson added planning on a multi-use cyclist path on Highway 97 remains stalled until the city can secure access to the CN rail line.

Friday, October 4, 2013 Capital NewsC

Council received an update from staff on the pre-design for water, sewer and roads in the

part of because we took a good program and made it a better program and it’s kept going. The program went in the right direction.” That direction this year is with an older team, heavy on 17-yearold players. Traditionally the teams that win the Telus Cup midget championships are older teams and BCMML teams have struggled to compete at the national level. That shouldn’t matter if you are talking strictly about development, according to the owner of the Kelowna Rockets. “I think the midget league should be 15- and 16-year-olds,” said Rockets president and general manager Bruce Hamilton, whose son Curtis played a season with the Okanagan Rockets as a 15-year-old before moving up to play in the WHL. “To properly develop, the 15- and 16-year-olds need to play against each other. To me, 17-year-olds

are juvenile players and should be playing juvenile or junior B. I’m looking at it purely from a development perspective.” Michaud says this year’s abundance of 17-year-olds is part of the cycle of hockey, noting that next year the team will likely be a younger squad. But with the chance to ice an older team and try to compete not only in the BCMML but with the other Canadian provinces, Michaud says the time was right to ice an older club. “We have some returning guys that were 16 years old last year but also some 17-year-olds that are new to the program because they see what we offer and see that our guys have a better than 50 per cent chance of moving to a higher level when they graduate,” said Michaud. “If the WHL or the BCHL isn’t ready for these kids when they are 17, we’re here to bridge

that gap.” As for Sheridan and Andrusiak, they remain together after bringing the junior B Kelowna Chiefs to the area four years ago, giving Kelowna and area hockey players more options than pretty much any other Interior city when it comes to high level hockey. “A little centre our size and you now have four levels for players to play and that means there are at least 100 spots for kids to play in this area,” he said. “There is no downside to having programs where different kids can play in different places. “The biggest thing for me with the BCMML is the kids that have gone on to become good business people or gone on to become good hockey players. “They have grown and developed out of the program.” kparnell@kelownarockets.com

Fall guy testifies in Verma trial Cheryl Wierda CONTRIBUTOR

Making a gesture of a gun with his finger, Joelon Verma threatened to kill Mike Roberts’ family if he didn’t agree “to take the fall” in the weeks after Brittney Irving’s disappearance, the court heard Thursday. Roberts, who owned the truck Verma was apparently driving the day Irving vanished, confronted Verma after police talked to him about clothing Irving was wearing when her body was found on April 26, 2010. “They say there was clothing on the body. Are they going to find my DNA?” Roberts recalls saying. Roberts testified that Verma, now on trial for Irving’s murder, told him, “Yes.” “You have to take the

Sidewalks up next on Phase 3a

Paving on Bernard Avenue is scheduled this week, weather permitting, from St. Paul to Ellis streets. This milestone signals the move from utilities construction to streetscaping.

Relocated walkways

Once paving is complete the walkway will move from its current location next to the buildngs, onto the newly paved road. Corridors from the centre of the road will allow access to each business entrance, minimizing disruption to pedestrians and businesses while improvements are underway.

Business as usual

Maintaining access to businesses is a priority and pedestrian routes will always be available. Please observe posted signs and look for the friendly traffic control personnel for assistance. Shops, restaurants and services are open during construction. Support Kelowna’s unique downtown business district and witness this once in a lifetime undertaking.

Construction hours

Night shifts will begin on Sunday while existing sidewalks are removed. An amendment to the noise bylaw allows extended construction hours of 6 a.m. to midnight with occasional work outside these hours also permitted.

See it for yourself

The $14-million investment will replace aging utilities and the roadway as well as help rejuvenate downtown. Sidewalks will be widened, outdoor retail and cafes expanded, new trees, lighting and benches added to make Bernard Avenue a great place to shop, dine and enjoy.

fall for this…If you don’t I have no choice but to kill you, your wife, your children and your grandchildren,” said Verma as he pressed his hand into Roberts’ stomach with a gun gesture. “I’m sorry, that’s just how we do business.” The conversation came after weeks of Verma checking on Roberts, now 65, via text message to confirm that he wouldn’t tell anyone that Verma borrowed Roberts’ truck the day Irving went missing. “If anyone asks about that truck, you did not lend your truck to anyone,” Verma told Roberts not long after he lent his truck to Verma on April 6, 2010. Roberts had offered his truck to Verma the day before, after hearing Verma say he had to “do some business at Big White,” and raised concerns about his truck being recognized. The pair, who had met working out at the YMCA, met at Verma’s house on April 6 to switch vehicles. Later in the day, Roberts brought Verma’s truck to Jason Labonte’s house, Roberts testified. He also retrieved his truck from Labonte’s around suppertime that night. “It had been washed,” said Roberts. Verma told Roberts that he “owed” him a pair of shoes, after giving Roberts’ runners, which were in his truck, to someone who had helped him when he had been stuck in the mud that day. A couple of days later, Verma mentioned that he owed Roberts a shirt. The shirt and shoes taken from Roberts’ vehicle match the ones found on Irving’s body when she was found, the court has heard. A day after he lent out his truck, Roberts said he was directed to a news report about Irving’s disappearance and said: “I knew in my gut I had just become a loose end.” “It wasn’t difficult to connect the dots,” he said. “I couldn’t prove anything.” Roberts said he tried to keep his relationship with Verma the same “on the surface” but lived in fear

Go barefoot for good cause Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

The man behind the push to get Kelowna residents donating their used shoes is now asking those residents to wear no shoes at all next Thursday. Jim Belshaw, chair of Soles4Souls Canada and owner of Roy’s Shoes and Repairs, said the Barefoot4Them campaign is coming to Canada and Australia Oct. 10, after a successful inaugural fundraiser in the United States last year. “It’s such an easy thing,” said Belshaw. “It’s one of those things that could go viral across Canada…if we can get enough help, we can raise a lot of awareness and (money).”

To participate in the Barefoot4Them cause, residents are asked to take a photo of themselves without shoes or socks on Oct. 10. Kindrunner, an online shoe company based in the United States, will donate $1 to Soles4Souls for every barefoot photo shared on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram that is tagged #barefoot4them next Thursday. The purpose of the campaign is to experience the inconvenience of life without shoes, especially on a potentially chilly October day. But Belshaw said those looking to take part don’t necessarily have to go the entire day without shoes or socks.

Medical pot can be best, most safely grown on ALR land

To the editor: After reading the opinions viewed within West Kelowna district council in today’s Capital News (District Defines Medical Marijuana Potential Sites, Sept. 26) I must weigh in on this debate without delay. I may be a little bias, albeit concerned as well. I’m in the agricultural greenhouse industry. I personally played the devil’s advocate initially and was not convinced until months of extensive research of both anecdotal and empirical studies (by credentialed and diverse experts from around the world) assured me of the merits of medicinal cannabis as sustainable, manageable medicine and treatment for patients, not the M “potheads” of society.

Once again science loses ground to superstition

rom Stockholm to Sydney to Sicamous, September was a bad month for science. In Sweden, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change finally issued its widely leaked update on human-caused global warming. As expected, it downgraded predictions of temperature rise in the face of 15 years of measurements that show little or no average surface temperature increase. The official spin also went as expected. The revelation that more than a dozen computer prediction models have all more or less agreed, and all have been wrong, was played down. The IPCC went from “very likely” to “extremely likely” to affirm its belief in

human-caused warming, even as its own core evidence went the other way. Again and again we are told that the vast majority of scientists beTom lieve in human-caused Fletcher warming, and those who don’t are labeled “skeptics” or even “deniers” with hidden agendas. The problem is, science isn’t supposed to be done by polls or popularity contests, or assertions of faith like those that greeted Galileo’s wild claim that Earth is not the centre of the solar system. Before the angry mail starts to arrive, let me hasten to add I am not arguing for or against the theory of human-caused climate change. You can label me a “skeptic” as I view the tem-

VICTORIA VIEWS

perature readings and the shifting theories advanced to explain them. Speaking of temperature data, David Suzuki had a problem with that at a TV town hall in Australia. Polite, well-informed questions soon revealed that while Suzuki rails constantly about the horrors of global warming, he doesn’t actually know much about the latest science. As I’ve written before regarding his CBC-funded attacks on Canada’s oil and gas industry, Suzuki is not only behind on his homework, he resorts to cheap, sensational tricks to exaggerate and misrepresent hazards. His tactics are identical to the U.S.-financed environment groups that obsessively target Canadian petroleum. As for his appearance on Australia’s public broadcaster, don’t take my word for it. Just Google “An Audience with

e t David Suzuki” and watch the show for o yourself. Back in B.C., local politicians gathered in Vancouver for their annual convention. One of the most intense debates was over a call to the provincial government to declare B.C. “genetic engineering free.” The heart of this movement, which has resorted to vandalism in Europe, is hostility towards Monsanto’s “Roundup ready” seed. Speakers at the municipal convention warned of sinister “corporations” trying to contaminate and control our food supply for profit. The debate pitted hobby farmers against professionals. Peace region grain farmers said such a ban would put them out of business. Others pointed out that the province has no jurisdic-

A Tradition of Sound Advice

Proroguing parliament a bad habit to get into BRENT EILERS To the editor: In 1933 the German government passed the Enabling Act. It gave the ruling party the power to enact laws without the Reichstag (parliament). Lists were made of opposition members and many were sent to Dachau—the first concentration camp of the Third Reich.

Parliaments in Ottawa, Toronto and Victoria “enable” the enactment of controversial legislation by proroguing parliament. Lists of opponents are made. An informed electorate and a vocal opposition are not welcome. Prime Minister Winston Churchill said this about a healthy democracy: “Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak, courage is

also what it takes to sit and listen.” Many courageous Canadians died in the Second World War standing up to a dictatorial government. It would be a tragedy for Canada if our elected governments are cowards. Dave Jones, Kelowna

Transit workers do a good turn for student To the editor: I wanted to write you this letter and let you know about my positive experience with the Kelowna bus system. I am a 15-year-old in high school who has a part-time job and relies on the transit system.

On Sept. 17, at 10:30 p.m. after finishing work, I took the bus from Queensway to the college and then transferred to the mall. Once I arrived at the mall I realized I had left my bag on the Lakeshore bus.

I panicked and the bus driver of the No. 8, graciously contacted the bus attendant to come and handle the situation. He met me right outside the mall, keeping in mind it is 11:15 p.m. by then. He was very friendly about what happened and

answered all my questions. The driver radioed the bus I had left my bag on and arranged a meeting spot at the college to get my items. Once I had gotten my bag from the friendly bus driver, I walked back to

the car and he drove me back to the mall again. I wanted to submit this because I always see people submitting flack about the bus system, so I wanted to submit something positive. Connor Elbury, Kelowna

Europe is leading in GMO-free legislation To the editor: The ‘food fight of the century’ is in full swing with legislators, farmers and consumers opposing bio-tech corporations on the subject of GMOs and genetically modified food. British Columbia took a step toward becoming a genetically engineered-free province when leaders of regional and municipal governments passed a resolution to ban GMOs at their annual convention in Vancouver September 2013. The Union of B.C. Municipalities adopted a resolution to ask the provincial government to declare B.C. a GMO-free zone, banning the importing, exporting and growing of plants and seeds containing genetically engineered DNA, and banning genetically engineered animals. Among those supporting the ban is Richmond city Councillor Harold Steeves, who raises grass-fed cattle in the B.C. Interior and Lower Mainland. “A growing number of B.C. ranchers have switched to grass-fed beef. We are making way more money than we ever

did when we shipped our cattle to Alberta to be grain-fed, but we depend upon alfalfa. We simply do not want to be in a position where we are marketing beef that has been fed alfalfa that is contaminated,” he said, referring to Monsanto’s glyphosate-tolerant variety. We are asking for B.C. to be the first major jurisdiction in Canada to follow suit with Europe and all the other countries that have banned genetically engineered crops.” Farmers growing conventional and organic crops are in the cross hairs of the food fight. GMO crops ruin the purity of organic and non-organic crops via cross pollination. That is the crux of the issue. Once contaminated, farmers lose their export markets as many countries ban imports of genetically modified crops for health and environmental concerns. Traditional farmers are also worried about the crisis in weed management caused by glyphosate-tolerant crops such as Monsanto’s Roundup-ready corn as herbicide-resistant “superweeds” are becoming commonplace.

Canadian consumers, meanwhile, have been blindsided as the lack of labeling leave many unaware that genetically modified (aka genetically engineered) food even exists. The lack of safety studies by Health Canada raises even more issues as animal studies in France demonstrate large tumours in rats fed GMOs. Saturday, Oct. 12, is World Food Day and once again people will take to the streets in March Against Monsanto events all over the globe. In Kelowna the walk will start from the Parkinson Recreation Center at 11 a.m. In May, 2013, two million people participated in protest of GMOs in 52 countries. You can add your voice to the growing concern about the corporate take-over of the world food supply. I hope B.C. does become a GMO-free zone, and you can help. Remember our provincial motto is Super Natural BC. Let’s keep it that way. Heidi Osterman, Kelowna

Security easy to arrange for greenhouse operation Medical Marijuana from A10 providing balanced and educated decisions in regard to indoor “bunker” grow operations and product versus natural sunlight grown plants on ALR land, you should delve into the topic with some detail. Providing security would definitely be easier than speculated for greenhouse facilities versus industrial sheds considering state of the art surveillance methods employed

these days. The biggest issue (to council and the community) should be ensuring that the industry doesn’t rebel and dig a deeper black market hole to hide in, and proliferate the underground covert economies of Kelowna, as in the past. If you wish to consult on any particulars of this industry that you’re not familiar with, rest assured we have expertise in varied aspects and, yes, there have been templates for man-

Emotion trumps science Fletcher from A10 tion and that scientific decisions shouldn’t be influenced by emotion. The session ended with a classic pseudo-scientific claim. A woman who used to have a couple of bee boxes said someone’s bees died and there was a Roundup-ready canola field next door. Case closed. The misguided “G.E.-free B.C.” motion was supported by

a narrow majority. As it turns out, there are agricultural pesticides that may be harmful to bees. The David Suzuki Foundation is part of an effort to get one of them banned in Canada. The problem is, it’s not Roundup, and it’s got nothing to do with genetic engineering. They’re called “neonicotinoids,” because they’re similar to nicotine. Old sheep farmers

may recall using a crude version—tobacco soaked in water to kill insects on sheep. It’s ironic that as the “information age” accelerates, our society, overwhelmed by conflicting messages, slips back towards superstition.

aging risks far greater than this issue. What, for example, are the litigious risks, I ask (as promoters) of pursuing a tourism campaign of encouraging more alcohol-affected drivers to the local winery circuit? Just look at the stats of deaths from various “legal” drugs, it is a telling and very real tale of shame in society today. David Lalik, West Kelowna

Bernard project proceeds

Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

The latest phase of work on Bernard Avenue is on track to be complete by the end of November. But, with no sign of

an agreement in sight between FortisB.C. and its locked out electrical workers, the timing of the final phase of work on Kelowna main street remains up in the air. The city had to split

what was to be the third and final phase of the Bernard Avenue revitalization work in two because part of the project called for work on underground electricity lines between Ellis Street and Pandosy

Street. That work had to be done by unionized FortisB.C. employees. But they are currently locked out, embroiled in a labour dispute with FortisB.C. which handles the electric

utility in the City of Kelowna. That labour dispute shows no signs of being settled any time soon. The workers have been locked out since July. So last month, the city

Presented By UPtown RutlanD Business association 12-4 pm Sun, Oct 6th, 2013 Lions Park (on Gray Rd, behind Plaza 33 Mall)

announced it would only proceed with the portion of Bernard from St. Paul Street to Ellis Street and leave the Ellis to Pandosy portion until next spring, pending a resolution of the FortisB.C. labour dispute. Getting an earlier phase of the project completed faster than originally planned had put the project ahead of schedule. The spring 2014 completion returns it to the original time line, said the city’s head of construction services, Bill Berry. According to the city, the underground utility work that needed to be done on the St. Paul to Ellis portion is now complete and the project is moving to the “streetscaping” phase above ground. Asphalt was scheduled to be laid this week for the paving of Bernard between St. Paul and Ellis and for the parking pads at the sides of the road. Once the paving is complete, the existing walkway will be moved from its current location next to the buildings onto the newly paved roadway. Corridors from the centre of the road will allow pedestrian access to each business located along that stretch of Bernard. In order to complete the work over the next eight weeks, crews will be allowed to work between 6 a.m. and midnight on the site. The city says weather will be the biggest factor, as concrete pouring cannot be done when the weather is too cold because it will not cure properly.

Barefoot Soles4Souls Cause from A9 The most important thing is that participants upload their barefoot photo to social media, tagged with #barefoot4them. “There are people who I’ve talked to who are going to try to go the whole day without shoes…but you can do as little or as much as you’d like. “I think a lot of people will jump on board.” Belshaw said he is working to get Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray and as many city councillors as possible to take part in the initiative as well. For more information and to see profiles of individuals worldwide who are in need of shoes visit barefoot4them.org.

Gardening class leads to long-time enjoyment

n the spring of 2010, Wayne Goreski attended my ‘Introduction to Xeriscape’ class. Newly moved from Ontario, he planned to

take out his small front lawn and xeriscape it with landscape fabric, rock mulch and a few plants. He only came to class to learn about suitable

plants. Shortly after the class, he sent me a before, during, and after photo story of his project with these comments: “Gwen: here are a few pictures of

my spring xeriscape project. I am so pleased with how it turned out and have received many compliments. I followed your guidance: No stones ex-

cept the walkway, no filter cloth and I used drip irrigation. I used your plant database on the OXA website to select the plants. I mixed some na-

Gwen Steele time doing the whole project myself.” Wayne has continued to send me photos and this year was awarded Best Small Garden in OXA’s Xeriscape Garden Contest. In 2012, he removed a large, water-thirsty cedar against his house. After putting in new soil he planted more water-wise plants. With the addition last fall of spring bulbs, Wayne now has a colourful garden from March to frost. Ornamental grasses and seed heads of perennials such as Echinacea and Rudbeckia are left through the winter to add interest and food for birds. Wayne followed suggestions from the class: • use some long-blooming perennials to ensure a long season of colour • use bulbs for spring colour • add ornamental grasses to provide continuity, and a backdrop • include a few small shrubs with different blooming times, interesting foliage and good winter structure • incorporate a flagstone path for access to maintain the garden and to enjoy flowers, visiting pollinators and butterflies up close Wayne fell in love with too many plants. His small garden is now jampacked. There isn’t room for weeds but the path is barely visible. Wayne’s 2014 project is to remove all turf from his side yard to make a new garden. He will fill it with ‘free’ plants from the front garden. Because Wayne did not use fabric it will be easy for him to divide and move his plants. As well, the organic matter mulch will make garden renovations much easier than if he had used rock mulch. My next ‘Introduction to Xeriscape’ class is Thursday, Oct.17 and 24, 7 p.m. The class has practical information for making changes to an existing landscape or to create a new landscape. Details and registration information are at www.okanaganxeriscape.org. Gwen Steele is executive director of the non-profit Okanagan Xeriscape Association.

ENTERTAINMENT Farards, father and son, on tour together Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

For those who have strolled down Georgia Street en route to Vancouver’s Pacific Centre and been startled at the sight of a bull outside an office tower, just wait until the sculptor adds music to that feeling. Joe Fafard, a Canadian sculptor whose magnificent bronze cows ands roosters and farmer grace the doorways and halls and public walkways of cities nationwide, is about to tour the country with fellow artists Joel Schwartz and his son, musician Joël Fafard. “This is our version of a father-son game of catch,” said Joël, who lives on the Sunshine Coast and works with Schwartz, a multi-instrumentalist originally from Vernon who plays with the likes of Royal Wood, Patricia O’Callaghan and

JUNO-NOMINATED Joël Fafard and his Order of Canada-winning sculptor of a father, Joe Fafard, are travelling the country offering an unprecedented taste of contemporary Canadian artistry.. The Great Lake Swimmers. Drawn to old-school folk music, the younger Fafard says the obvious differences between his and his father’s art don’t prevent him from seeing commonalities, in no small measure because both are so inextricably connected to Saskatchewan. “The prairies define both of us,” he said. “…My father was always playing Hank Williams westerns and I grew up dreaming of western movies and what I thought could have been the soundtracks.” The violins and pedalsteel guitar drove him to his signature slide guitar which, mixed with Schwartz, offers up a Southern roots collaboration one can imagine will be magical among the col-

lection of Canadian wildlife his father has crafted specifically for this tour. One look at the older Fafard’s sculptures— often farm-focused animals or salt-of-the-earth prairie folk with an Eastern European immigrant feel—and one can imagine the caribou, raccoon, raven and bear he’s moulded will offer a slice of Canadiana never seen before. Joe works in bronze primarily because it’s unbreakable, weathers well and will stand the test of time, much like his subjects. It’s a time consuming process in which he creates a sculpture, a mold, wax replica, refectory mould, then fires and cures an image working from photographs and a vivid imagination. “I really don’t try to listen to (music) very

much when I’m working,” he said. “I find working is enough stimulation for me.” He does, nevertheless, believe his work likely set the stage for his son’s musical career and enjoys knowing Joël wisely chose an artistic pursuit which defies comparisons between the two. “From a very young age he wanted to play music,” he said. “And I think the fact that he got started in a household where art was the main activity helped.” The pair initially teamed up for two pop up shows, one in the Regina and the other in Victoria. Joël stage managed both in a similar manner to how he manages his father’s online gallery sales. The younger Fafard had a stack of CDs at both shows and during lulls

took the opportunity to strum a few chords surrounded, for the first time, by his father’s work. Inspiration struck. “It’s something that people have been suggesting for us to do for years, but neither of us could figure out how that would work,” Joël explained. It will take just four men, the three artists and a stage manager, to move the travelling show across the country. The heaviest piece of sculpture is 50 pounds; the heaviest lifting may prove to be the logistics. Both father and son say they believe the tour will be a journey of memories. To join them in creating this trip along a memory lane one can find them at Summerhill Pyramid Winery on Oct. 25. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

with a specially formulated (Forever Seal) that increases the strength and durability. The result is an engineered surface designed to outperform natural slab granite that is heat, scratch and stain resistant – essentially maintenance free – and backed with the company’s Lifetime Warranty. Additionally, the surface is permanently sealed and is therefore non-porous so you never have to worry about germs and bacteria hiding out in the stone surface. The business philosophy of Granite Transformations of Kelowna is to provide superior customer service and a quality finished product every time. Granite Transformations is manufacturer-owned; they sell what they manufacture and stand behind the product that they install in your home. All installers work exclusively for Granite Transformations and are Granite Transformations accredited so the customer doesn’t have to worry about the often unreliable schedule of a contracted middle man. With friendly knowledgeable

staff and a fantastic product the customer is sure to be satisfied with their new countertop, backsplash or cabinet reface! Even more impressive still, the company is involved in a worldwide effort to produce more materials with recycled content and to reduce their impact on the environment. The Trend Glass product is produced with up to 72% post-consumer recycled glass and a low carbon emission production process. By re-surfacing existing surfaces Granite Transformations can divert over 18 million lbs of waste from the landfill worldwide per year. Additionally, Granite Transformations is recognized by numerous associations and certifications such as The GREENGUARD Environmental Institute, NSF International, and the U.S Green Building Council, just to name a few. Granite Transformations truly is a product that you can feel good about having in your home. To compliment the outstanding offering of countertop and backsplash materials Granite

Transformations also offers cabinet refacing services. Cabinet refacing is where your old doors are replaced with new doors with virtually an unlimited array of styles and colors to choose from. All associated gable ends are then veneered to match the colour of the new door chosen. This service reduces the cost of a traditional cabinet remodel to over 50% of traditional methods and you’re not limited by adding custom items either.

No Seth Jones, no Ty Rattie and no Mac Carruth. A few key pieces are gone from last year’s WHL championship team, but don’t expect the Portland Winterhawks to pack any less punch in 2013-14, says Kelowna Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. With the likes of Nic Petan, Brendan Leipsic and Derrick Pouliot still on the roster, the Winterhawks are once again expected to cohabitate with the league’s elite teams. “They’re a great team,” Huska said of the Winterhawks. “They have some very good highend players, they have a coach (Mike Johnston) that’s one of the best in the league and they play very hard. Petan is one of the best forwards in the league, Pouliot is back, and (Oliver) Bjorkstrand is on fire. They’re a team that other teams gauge themselves against.” The Rockets (3-0-01) will get that opportunity this weekend as the clubs square off in a WHL doubleheader, Friday and Saturday nights at Prospera Place.

Still, with the season only just under way, Huska hesitates to put too much emphasis on the outcome of one weekend’s games. “Really, it’s another weekend, and we’re still looking to find ourselves like a lot of teams are,” he said. “We feel good about our game but we know we have a ways to go.

Josephs leading Chiefs with better than two points/game average The Kelowna Chiefs head into a two day weekend having won its last game to climb to 4-3-00 on the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League season. The Chiefs will hit the road to Princeton on Friday night before returning home to the Rutland Arena on Saturday to play host to North Okanagan. Offensively the Chiefs are being led so far this season by 19-year-old Calgary native Nick Josephs, who is scoring at more than two points per game with five goals and nine assists for 14 points in the team’s first six games. That puts the 5-foot-11 forward fourth in KIJHL scoring. On Friday the Chiefs are in Princeton to take on the Posse who sit at 2-40-1 while Saturday will see the North Okanagan Knights visit Kelowna.

Everybody wishes him well.” Kelowna will return to the road Tuesday when they visit the Spokane Chiefs.

On Friday in Langley, the Heat will take on the Trinity Western Spartans in a 7 p.m. tipoff. On Saturday, UBCO will face the Fraser Valley Cascades in Abbotsford.

The frontline of the future for the Heat was tested against a formidably strong Seattle frontline, but both Mike Zayonc and Stuart Wallensteen ground their way to eight and seven rebounds respectively, while adding 10 and seven points down in the paint for the Heat. Vancouver’s Demitri Harris was the main man for the Mountaineers, scoring a game-high 29 points in as many minutes of play.

Perseverance paid off for TOFC’s U-13 boys team on Sunday as the club battled back for a well deserved victory. After falling behind 1-0 to a strong Mountain FC team the local side tied the game just as the half came to a close. A strong run down the right side from Mitch Morgan (Lake Country) resulted in a cross to the far post that Connor Yendley (Kelowna) slotted home past the fallen keeper to tie the game 1-1. The second half saw the TOFC boys continue with their determined play and with about 15 minutes to play a Mountain player was sent off, leaving the door open for an exciting finish. Numerous rushes by Kazuki Comley (Vernon) wore down the Mountain defenders be-

fore TOFC would win the game in dramatic fashion. With less than a minute to play in injury time a perfectly placed corner kick from Matt Barcelona (Kelowna) found the head of captain Owen Miller (Vernon) and the victory was sealed as TOFC earned a 2-1 win.

U-13 INTAKE GIRLS

After coming off a loss the previous day, the U-13 Intake girls faced Mountain FC for a Sunday morning match-up and TOFC keeper Kyleigh Orloriz (Kelowna) had to be sharp to start the game as the local club came under some pressure. But after holding firm Yvonne Manwaring (Kamloops) broke past the Mountain defenders on the left side sending a cross through to Olivia Mcleod (Vernon) for the 1st goal of the game at the 18 minute mark. Manwaring then scored two straight goals to give TOFC a 3-0 lead at the half. Mountain started the 2nd half with lots of pressure on the TOFC squad and scored twice to narrow the lead to 3-2. TOFC had several good scoring chances of their own, hitting the cross-bar once

When choosing a contractor for a blow out, price should not be your determining factor. An incorrectly performed blowout can result in expensive repairs in the spring. Choose a contractor who is established in your area, they will be around in the spring if you have problems. Most reputable contractors will fix any problems caused during the blowout in the spring under warranty. Book your blowout with a reputable firm soon to avoid having to wait for your blowout too late in the season. Most contractors cannot warranty a blowout done too late in the season as damage may have occurred from the colder temperatures, rather than their procedures.

Local soccer fields were the scene of action in the B.C. Premier Soccer League as the Thompson Okanagan Football Club played its home games as weather permitted in the youth league. TOFC teams will now be hitting the road following several weeks on its home turf. Here’s a look back at a few featured games last weekend followed by all of the scores.

brate those conditions with a competition that would reward one golfer with a 2014 membership. So, Orchard Greens began the Ironman Challenge, an event designed to challenge golfers and see who was the ultimate Orchard Greens Ironman. “With the course in the best condition it has been in since it opened 19 years ago, unlimited golf and the Ironman Challenge is a great opportunity for anyone who hasn’t played Orchard Greens in a while to come out and experience one of Kelowna’s hidden gems,” said Fedorak. Hank Oberton took up the challenge and entered the Ironman Challenge at Orchard Greens. He completed 104 holes of golf, totalling 27,300 yards equivalent to 25 kilometers all in one day. Not only that but Oberton posted an amazing total score of 24 over par. Oberton appears to have laid out a challenge and golfers have until the end of the season to see if they can better that mark. Located in South East Kelowna, Orchard Greens is a nine hole, 2100 yard par 32 course carved into a working apple orchard. With the Okanagan’s only night golf experience, Orchard Greens offers a unique golfing experience. For more information, contact the golf shop at 250-763-2447.

Columnist peers into his NHL crystal ball

y foolish and sometimes embarrassing October ritual continues— publicly penning preposterous predictions on the new NHL season. The obvious danger when publicly pontificating such imperative topics as who will win the Stanley Cup is that the predictions will be wrong. Regardless of how one makes those predictions (too many crystal balls —or not enough of other kinds) one cannot take them back once they are printed. Apparently my annual NHL predictions often wind up hanging on a few beer fridges of other hockey fans around the valley who take great pleasure in chuckling me come season end. In truth, for some sad pathetic reason I find this all highly amusing. Once in a while I get the guessing game right though, and then joyfully strut about like I actually knew what I was prattling on about. Major changes to the overall league divisional structure this year, including realigning the five divisions into four, will make for a very interesting and spirited new season. The top three teams in each division will make the playoffs (instead of top four) with the top two seeded remaining teams in each conference filling the final two spots. The various changes improve travel plans, align time zones for game scheduling, and create or reconnect old time or long overdue team rivalries. For instance, Detroit and Columbus move to the Eastern Conference and Winnipeg to the West, meaning the Wings get to battle old time rival Toronto, Boston, and Montreal regularly and Columbus now gets to pop over the border and play Minnesota several times a year. The newly configured Pacific Division is accessible by train. Goaltending will once again be a tipping point deciding team’s regular season and playoff success. No team might prove that theory more than Vancouver whose confusing gamble in the summer of sending Corey Schneider to New Jersey and keeping enigma Roberto Luongo may blow up in their face. The unexpected scenario almost begs

for a bizarre income such as Luongo going down with a lengthy injury and the suddenly depleted goaltending corps collapsing. If that’s the case the Canucks may be hard Charlie pressed to make the playHodge offs let alone win the Cup. So with that thought, let the predictions roll. In the Western Conference a mid-season knee or groin injury to Roberto, and discontentment by veteran players with coach John Tortorella will see Vancouver stumble to fourth in the Pacific Division, barely securing a playoff spot with a wild card spot. Without Luongo in top form, the Canucks will lose out in the first round of the playoffs to Chicago. L.A. wins the Pacific Division regular season followed by San Jose, Anaheim, Vancouver, Edmonton, Phoenix, and Calgary. (If Edmonton picks up a decent goalie, they will finish fourth overall in the Pacific instead of Vancouver). In the Central Division, Chicago will be followed by St. Louis, Minnesota, Dallas, Nashville, Colorado, and then Winnipeg. The Eastern Conference will see Boston finish first in the Atlantic Division followed by Detroit, Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Tampa, Buffalo, and Florida. The aptly named Metropolitan Division will see Pittsburgh finish first followed by Philadelphia, New York Rangers, and Washington (finishing within four points of each other), New Jersey, New York Islanders, Columbus and finally Carolina. The final six teams battling for the cup will include St. Louis, Los Angeles, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Boston, and Detroit. Detroit will edge LA for the cup. So there you are. Go ahead, pin this on your fridge and call me in June. P.S. The Leafs are actually starting to resemble a hockey team again. With Conn Smythe, the Ballards, and Brian Burke all removed from the picture, I was starting to think about being a Leaf fan again. However, since they just signed the cowardly Phil Kessel to an eight year deal I just can’t. Kessel should have received 10 games for his dangerous slash during the exhibition season.

TURISMO CHILE/VIRTUALTOURIST/MCT

FALL is a great time to get out and see the world and take hikes for great views and a workout. The lakes and volcanoes of Chile’s Patagonia region fit the bill.

Top 5 most scenic workouts As the seasons begin to change and football season starts, too many people pack up their sportswear and get sedentary with some chips and dip. In an effort to keep you from limiting your exercise to reaching for the remote, the members and editors of travel website VirtualTourist.com (www.virtualtourist.com) compiled a list of the Top Five Most Scenic Workouts.

1. HIKING IN PATAGONIA, CHILE

Visiting Chilean Patagonia, with its more than 2,000 km (1,242 miles) of paths, spectacular vistas, and unique natural phenomena, is a great idea for novice hikers or experienced trekkers alike. Torres del Paine National Park in Southern Chile provides more than 181,000 hectares to explore, with many of the more seasoned hikers choosing the “W Route,” which can be broken up into a series of day hikes.

VirtualTourist members noted that the highlight of the first leg of the “W” Route is Mirador Las Torres, the iconic four stone peaks so often featured in photographs of the region. If you are looking for another amazing trek in the area, the Fitz Roy Trek just over the border in Argentinean Patagonia is also incredibly beautiful, and thought by many to be a bit easier than the Torres experience.

2. HIKING CINQUE TERRE IN ITALY

Italy has long been a bastion of cultural icons and landmarks, from religious sites to Renaissance masterpieces. Of the sites to be visited, Cinque Terre is among the most beautiful, and also the most unique. Composed of five small villages perched above the Ligurian Sea, the towns date back to the late medieval period and are still unable to be reached by car. While one can access them by train Active Travel A29

“THE STRAND” in Los Angeles, California, for rollerblading.

sCapital News Friday, October 4, 2013

TRAVEL 5. ROLLERBLADING THE “STRAND,” LOS ANGELES

Only a handful of locations can provide a pedestrian-only route the length of which is almost a marathon—and none can do so while providing a view of one of the most beautiful beach areas in the world. “The Strand” is a 22-mile bike path that runs from Will Rogers State Beach in Pacif-

Cross-training travel

and boat, neither transport provides the same experience as the hike between the towns: slowly descending from the rocky cliffs into each brightly painted fishing village is an experience unlike any other in the world. Hiking from Riomaggiore, the southernmost village, to the fifth town, Monterosso, is quite a workout (18 kilometers, or 11 miles, and usually takes about five hours, but it can be longer depending on how fit you are). Instead, many complete the first leg of the trip, from Riomaggiore to Manarola. This section is commonly called the “Via dell’ Amore” and is both paved and level, so it’s a great 1 km (about half a mile) stroll for travelers of all ages.

3. STAND-UP PADDLEBOARDING IN MILFORD SOUND, NEW ZEALAND

The sport of standup paddle-boarding has been growing in popularity exponentially in recent years, and few places provide the gorgeous scenery and flat waters of Milford

Sound in New Zealand. The expansive beauty of South Island’s Fjordland National Park makes the five hour journey by car or tour bus from Queenstown a necessary feat to keep crowds at bay. While the weather is slightly unpredictable, rain means that the mountain’s waterfalls will be going off, creating even more features to paddle towards. If you’re not up for trying a new sport, there are also many kayaking guides in the area, making the Sound and its beauty accessible to everyone, no matter their physical shape.

Trunk Bay, which has an underwater snorkeling trail that guides swimmers while informing them of the various species of fish. Other notable snorkeling spots on the isle are Hawknest Bay and Cinnamon Bay, which also has outstanding camping facilities. Sea turtles and rays can be found in Waterlemon Cay, accessible by the Leinster Bay Trail from the Annaberg Sugar Mill ruins.

4. SNORKELING IN ST. JOHN’S, US VIRGIN ISLANDS

Few options are as convenient and cost-efficient for Americans as a quick trip to the US Virgin Islands, and equally rare are the options with the unbridled natural spectacle of St. John’s. The island, accessible only by ferry, contains the Virgin Islands National Park, which encompasses 2/3 of the island’s area. Visitors have over 35 beaches to choose from, including

Flyers, coupons deals and money saving tips all in one place!

Toyota gets down to work with 2014 Tundra Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR

SAN ANTONIO, TX: If it ain’t broke – refine it, could sum up the 2014 Toyota Tundra full-size pickup now on sale across Canada. The Tundra first debuted as a 2000 model and it has been a learning curve for Toyota all the way, when one considers Ford/GM/Chrysler have been at it for almost a century. And while Toyota has been building trucks in Japan for 80 years, a North American half-ton is very different, not to mention lucrative, creature compared to anything else in the world.

When the Tundra first came out, it was noticeably smaller than its main rivals and the only engine available was a 3.4-litre V6 borrowed from the Toyota SUV parts bin. By the time the second generation came out in 2007, Toyota had a 4.6-litre and 5.7-litre V8 in addition to a 4.0-litre V6. While the V8s are retained for 2014, Canada won’t be getting any V6 models. In terms of platform and engines, the Tundra still rides on a full frame with boxed front end with a choice of rear- or fourwheel-drive. Both V8s have been See Toyota B2

JIM ROBINSON/CONTRIBUTOR

THE 2014 Toyota Tundra has a new, more rugged look starting with a 40 per cent larger grille. This is the “1794” luxury version with CrewMax cab and leather-lined interior.

enhanced for more power and less fuel consumption. The base engine is the 4.6-litre, DOHC i-Force V8 with 310 hp and 327 lb/ft of torque. Fuel ratings are: 14.2/10.5/12.5L/100km (city/hwy/combined) for the 4x2 models and 15.2/10.9/13.3L/100km (city/hwy/combined) for the 4x4 models. The 5.7-litre, DOHC i-Force V8 is the most popular with 381 hp and 401 lb/ft. Fuel numbers here are 15.8/11.0/13.6L/100km (city/hwy/combined) for the 4X2 and 16.3/11.9/14.3L/100km (city/hwy/combined) for the 4X4. If you opt for the 4X4, the system used is a parttime version that allows you to switch on the fly from 2WD to 4Hi. But to switch to 4Lo, you must first stop, place the Tundra in neutral and then push and turn the drive mode selector. The reverse must be done when switching back to 4Hi or 2WD. It may not be the most modern system but it gets the job done with a tow rating of 4,760 kg (10,500 lb) with the 4x2 Regular Cab Long Bed. It is 4,625 kg (10,196 lb) on the 4X4 version. But where the 2014 Tundra really differs over the outgoing model is in style and comfort. Toyota listened to buyers who said Tundra needed to look more aggressive and the interiors just plain had to go. So for 2014, the Tundra was sent to Toyota’s Calty design centre in California for a complete makeover. Right off the bat, you can’t miss the glittering grille which is now 40 per cent larger and grafted into a hood that has been raised and given a wide secondary air intake. Body panels and fenders have a chiselled look. There’s a rear spoiler integrated into the tailgate and strakes are used liberally for looks and as vortex generators to reduce drag. A clever touch is a three-piece rear bumper with the outside two parts

MOTORING Toyota from B2 being detachable. If one is damaged at a work site, it can simply be replaced instead of the entire bumper. The model lineup has been rationalized with five models, the SR, SR5, Limited and two premium trim levels, the Platinum and 1794, the latter named after the founding year of the ranch near San Antonio, Texas, which was bought by Toyota 10 years ago and turned into the Tundra production plant. With a backup camera as standard on all models, there are three cabs (Regular, Double Cab and CrewMax). Tundra Regular Cab is offered in Long Bed 2,480 mm (97.7 in), and Double Cab models are offered in standard bed 2,000 mm (78.7 in) or long bed 2,480 mm (97.6 in) configurations, while the CrewMax comes with a 1,695 mm (66.7 in) bed. All beds are 564 mm

(22.2 in) deep. With saddle-like tan coloured leather and rich matching wood trim, the 1794 (CrewMax only) now gives Toyota entry into the luxury pickup market against competitors such as the new Chev Silverado High Country and the Ford F-150 Limited. Prices range from $26,750 for the base SR up to $54,000 for the 1794. Toyota hosted the press launch at its giant plant outside San Antonio, which just produced its millionth Tundra a few days before we arrived. All my driving time was in the 5.7-litre 1794 which proved to be quite quick. My co-driver unofficially did 0-100 km/h in 8.1 seconds and an 80120 km/h passing time of 6.3 seconds. Later towing a boat on a trailer (1,820 kg) the

Tundra made short work of that. Toyota is very proud of the fact Tundra can haul up a 12 per cent grade with a fully loaded trailer. On the off-road section of the vast Toyota plant, shifting into 4Lo was simple enough before heading up what looked like a 30 per cent grade. As noted, the part-time system works just fine but you have to remember turning requires a lot of room. Back on the highway heading to the hotel after a day at the plant, I rode in the 1794 as we let the navigation/infotainment system plot the course and take us home. Sightlines on a truck this big are good but the optional blind side monitoring included in the 1794 package is something I’ve grown accustomed to having and more and more drivers feel the same.

All Tundra models feature the standard Toyota Star Safety System that includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), and Smart Stop (SST) brake override technology. Here in Canada, Toyota feels there are several reasons why the 2014 Tundra is more than a viable alternative to the Big Three. First and foremost is Toyota build quality and reliability, which are virtues that are understood by buyers. But more to the point is the target market in Canada — people who now realize the value in owning a truck but are not those who want to buy Ford/GM/Chrysler. They are also younger, more affluent and trust the

Nevertheless, Toyota Canada knows it is still in an uphill fight, but the company believes, with the 2014 Tundra, they have the right truck to drive a change in perceptions.

HESELTINE, SHIRLEY ANNE (NEE PHILLIPS) December 8, 1949 – September 29, 2013 Born in Toronto, ON, she passed away suddenly to be with her Lord and Savior during the early morning in Westbank, BC. Shirley married Norman H. Heseltine on May 31, 1975 at the Trinity United Church in Guelph, ON. After living in several places over the years, the family settled in British Columbia in 1980. Shirley attended the Westbank Foursquare Church and was guided by biblical principles. For several years, Shirley was very active in the Westside Community Food Bank until unable to continue. She was well loved and touched many lives and will be greatly missed. Throughout her many years of battling cancer she had the courage and strength to truly live life to its fullest no matter what. With a positive outlook, Shirley demonstrated to others that her relationship with her Savior provided her joy despite her deteriorating health. Survived by her loving husband, Norman H. Heseltine; sons Don James and Shawn Scott (Laura); stepchildren Norman Gene, Scott Irwin, Sherrie-Lee Diane and by her grandchildren Jade and Noah. She will also be missed by many nephews and friends. A Celebration of Shirley’s Life will be held 1:00 P.M., Monday, October 7, 2013 at Emmanuel Church, 2600 Hebert Rd., Westbank, BC with Pastor Derrick Hamre officiating. A special thank you to all the staff at Lakeview Lodge for their love and care shown to Shirley over the past few months. She absolutely loved being there because of your care.

CLARK-MARLOW, KEITH GREGORY

R.C.A.F., Retired (Captain); Shaw Cable, Retired July 1925 ~ September 2013 It is with much sadness that we announce the passing of our father. Keith passed away peacefully at his home in Kelowna on September 5, 2013. He is survived by his children: Karen Clark-Marlow, Melody Clark-Marlow (Peter Samuels), Vandy (Dave) Piwnuik, Bradford Clark-Marlow (Tammy Palsson), and Penelope (Arthur) Reid; nine grandchildren; and seven great grandchildren. He is also survived by his twin brother Grant; brothers Arthur and Bernard; sister Dianne; and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his spouse Irene Veronica Clark-Marlow and his son, Keith Gregory Clark-Marlow Jr. Keith was one of few remaining WW II veterans; he received a number of decorations for outstanding service. He enjoyed a long and successful career in the Royal Canadian Air Force, within the Telecommunications and Training Divisions, followed by a second career at Shaw Cable. He watched reruns of M.A.S.H. nearly everyday and was a talented musician who enjoyed playing the piano, accordion, trumpet harmonica and organ. Throughout his Air Force career he participated in Air Force Command Bands. He also enjoyed sports, especially hockey and swimming. Family gatherings were very important to him. Some of our friends had lost their parents years earlier and he became the ‘Community Dad’. He was one of the best joke-tellers around. Keith told original jokes, read the newspapers from cover to cover and played Crossword scratch tickets up until the day before he passed away. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends. Dad, you were so darn cute! At our father’s request, there will be no funeral service. To leave condolences for Keith’s family, please visit his obituary page at www.valleyviewfuneralhome.com.

Their team, No 'Pain't No Gain, was the top fund raising team

It wasn't an official race, but he thought he should sprint the 5 km and get it done quickly as it was his birthday that day as well. They greatly appreciate all of the support from the great REALTORS® at Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty. Over $90,000 in total funds was raised for the hospital.

Be prepared when buying a new home Jeff Hui CONTRIBUTOR

Here are some tips to keep in mind when making a new home purchase: 1) Keep your credit clean. Run a credit check on yourself and verify that the information is correct. Contact any creditors who haven’t updated your record in terms of cancelled cards or balances that have been paid off. Paying off high interest credit cards as soon as possible will help make it easier for mortgage approval. (See Of Prime Interest column below.) 2) Be a pre-approved buyer. Talk to your mortgage professional about how much home you can afford and get pre-approved before you start looking. Becoming pre-approved is very easy. Contact a mortgage professional to arrange a mortgage consultation and they will work with you to complete your mortgage application with a credit check prior to beginning your search for a home. Pre-approval means that you have actually been ap-

proved for the purchase by a lender, which gives you the edge in home purchase negotiating. The pre-approval guarantees you, up to a period of 120 days, that if the rate increases during that time, you will still get the original rate. If the property you are looking to buy won’t be completed for six months or more, then you should look into the mortgages offered by the builders on-site. In these cases, the on-site lender will typically be able to guarantee a capped rate for a longer time duration (such as 12 to 18 months), usually until the expected project completion date. You should negotiate a capped rate for as long a period as possible. These typically have some built-in extension protection if the project takes longer than expected. 3) Determine your priorities. Take some time to think about what factors are most important to you. Make a list of what you want, need, and don’t want in a home. This checklist will allow you to objectively assess different homes according to your needs

and will save you invaluable time when you go out to see various building developments. 4) Check out the neighbourhood. Make yourself a “home value expert.” Investigate the areas and price ranges for the type of home you are looking for. If you find yourself becoming interested in a particular neighbourhood, familiarize yourself with the local amenities, schools, property taxes, crime rates, and other neighhourhood features. Talk with different people in the area and visit at different times during the day. The characteristics of the area may change dramatically during different hours of the day. 5) Get legal advice before signing the contract. Talk with a real estate lawyer and review the Agreement of Purchase and Sale with them prior to signing the contract. This will ensure you understand the exact terms and conditions of the contract, and that you know what’s included in the purchase price. Be sure that any verbal agreements from the seller are included

in written form within the APS. Be sure that you’ve negotiated a reasonable closing or occupancy date and make sure that all deposit details are documented. 6) Stay calm. Even in a hot market, be cool and calculated with your decisions. Your home purchase may be your single largest investment. If you’re buying a new condominium, be sure to review the disclosure statement carefully. By law, you have a 10-day cooling off period once you receive the disclosure statement. 7) Be thorough during the pre-delivery inspection. Before you take possession of your new home or condominium, the builder is required to do a pre-delivery inspection of the property with you. This is one of your first opportunities to see your new home in its final state. During this inspection, it is crucial to note anything that is missing, not working properly or damaged. This is one of the most important opportunities for you to note any problems in the new property prior to moving in.

Pay attention to these home maintenance tasks The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation offers a checklist of simple home maintenance tips and repairs that can help you put a stop to the most common and costly problems before they occur, often in as little as a few minutes a week: • Check and clean your range hood filters on a monthly basis. • Use a dehumidifier if necessary to keep the relative humidity level in your basement at or below 60 per cent. • Check basement pipes for condensation or dripping, and take corrective action if needed. • Refill the basement floor drain if the trap doesn’t have enough water in it. • Run water briefly in fixtures that aren’t used frequently, such as the laundry tub or spare bathroom sink, tub or shower. • Deep clean carpets and rugs, and vacuum the bathroom fan grille. • Unplug the dryer and disconnect the duct connected to your clothes dryer and vacuum lint from the duct, the areas surrounding the dryer and the vent hood outside. • Check all windows, door hinges and garage door opener hardware for smooth operation, and lubricate doors and hinges as required. • Inspect electrical service lines for secure attachment where they enter the house, and make sure no water is leaking into your home along the electrical conduit. • Check the exterior siding and clean, replace or refinish it as needed. • Seal off any holes in the exterior cladding that could become entry points for rain or pests.

▼ OF PRIME INTEREST

Paying your bills on time helps maximize your credit rating Your credit is rated by what is called a Beacon Score—a single number that summarizes your credit situation and shows lenders what kind of risk you’re likely to be as a borrower. Beacon scores range from 300 to 900. The average Canadian has a beacon near 700. Only 11 per cent of Canadians rank above 800 and it’s virtually unheard of to see a beacon score near 900. All you really need is 650 to 700 to qualify for a low mortgage rate. Even a 600 score will get you a decent enough deal if you can prove income and haven’t had any delinquencies for at least a year.

A beacon score of 600 is the average minimum credit score for insured mortgages at low rates with less than a 20 per cent down payment. If your score is below 600, you are what lenders call a “B” client, meaning there are issues with your credit that banks won’t like. One out of five Canadians fall under this category, but don’t despair—your credit can be fixed and there are still lenders willing to grant mortgages to the credit challenged. Keep in mind the exact score needed depends on the type of mortgage you require. For example, mortgages for the self-employed or for rental properties often require scores

on the higher end. Assuming you want to improve your credit, you should know how the Beacon formula is calculated. The main criteria are as follows. Payment history (35%): This also factors in the recent and number of payments over 30 days late, collections, judgments and bankruptcies. A single 30 day late payment can drop your score 15 to 20 points. Current debts (30%): Considers how much you currently owe compared to your credit limits. How many creditors you owe money to and how much you could owe if you maxed all your available credit. Age of accounts (15%): The long-

er your accounts have been opened the better. Generally you need at least two accounts over one year old. Type of credit (10%): Bank loans, credit cards and revolving credit all impact you differently. Credit enquiries (10%): Numerous credit applications in the past 12 months is a no-no. A huge benefit of using a mortgage broker is the need to pull your credit rating only once for once for multiple potential lenders. The top Beacon score killers are bankruptcies, legal judgements, credit payments over 30 days late, maxing out credit cards and seeking too much credit in a short period of time such as applying for four credit cards in one

month. If you have a lot of maxed out cards, bring them at least below 70 per cent of their limit. Below 50 per cent is better and below 30 per cent is best. So know your credit score and manage it carefully.
