nime characters Nepeta Leijon, Goldymarg, Kagome Higurashi, as well as more than one Batman mingle as they crowd into Kelowna’s Black Box Theatre last Saturday. Sitting on a stool at the back of the main stage, Bonnie Gratz says she’s surprised by the turnout at Kelowna’s first Comic-Con. “It’s great, the number of people who have dressed up and made their own costumes…we didn’t know if it

would be just us (dressed up),” says Gratz, pointing to her son, Brock, who is wearing a costume that took him “a week of all-nighters” to create. Sitting at a table near the other side of the stage, John Delaney glances at his tablet. The director, designer and comic book artist whose resumé includes pencilling Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, as well as characters from Futurama and The Simpsons, already has the room buzzing about his upcoming question-and-answer session. Near the front of the stage, Davin Hobbs, 7, and
his brother, Cailen, 4, strike poses in their Batman and Robin outfits while their mom snaps a photo. Toward the middle of the room, several friends and strangers congratulate Jennifer Pynn on her cosplay costume contest victory. At the Black Box Theatre’s entrance, more spectators continue to enter the venue. Looking out at the crowd, Gratz says, “We just couldn’t believe that there hadn’t been a Comic-Con here before.” See story on page A3

Positive response to first anime and comic festival Comic-Con from A1 When Bonnie Gratz set out to create the Kel owna Anime and Comic Festival, she didn’t know what to expect. The artistic director of New Vintage Theatre already had the Black Box Theatre booked for The Astonishing Adventures of Awesome Girl and Radical Boy, a comic book superhero musical. Gratz and other organizers agreed it would be an interesting addition to host a Comic-Con, of sorts prior to the play’s final show. Gratz, who is from Calgary, says her family would regularly attend the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo. It was something they missed when they moved to Kel owna. “I was doing research for the play and I found that John Delaney lives here. “We’ve got Disney Interactive, we’ve got Yeti Farm…and there’s no (Comic-Con) here? It was crazy to me.” The addition of the
festival just before the final showing of the musical fits well with New Vintage Theatre’s ethos. “The play is an event; it’s an experience,” says Gratz. “It’s not that there isn’t another great theatre in Kelowna, because there is, it’s just we want to do really different stuff.” The Kelowna Anime and Comic Festival began with a cosplay costume contest: A Comic-Con staple, which encourages participants to create homemade costumes depicting anime, manga, comic book, video game or film characters. Jennifer Pynn, a civil engineering student at UBCO, won Saturday’s contest, dressed as Quinn from the video game League of Legends. She frequently goes to anime and comic conventions in Vancouver and Calgary, so she was excited when she heard a smaller version was coming to Kelowna. “I’m actually very surprised at how many people came. I was a little

The 20-year-old takes cosplay seriously and is constantly creating the outfits worn by various characters. “The first thing you’ve got to know about (cos play) is it can get very expensive, and it’s time-consuming,” says Pynn. “But it’s a wonderful hobby to get into.” She says her favourite thing about visiting the conventions is seeing how excited others get from seeing her costumes. “They get so much enjoyment from seeing that character come to life; it sparks something special inside of you.”
Although studies take up a large portion of Pynn’s time, she says she’s always on the lookout for clothes and accessories that can go with her costumes. “It’s one of those things where you’ll just go out to have a good time, going shopping or whatever, and you’ll find something that’s perfect when you don’t really expect it. You’re always on the hunt.” Pynn’s cosplay victory earned her two tickets to Fan Expo Vancouver this April. Delaney took the stage following the cosplay costume contest. He has professionally sketched characters such as Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman for 20 years and recently completed directing and
co-designing the Netflix series Voltron Force, a sequel to the anime series, Voltron: Defender of the Universe. His resumé also in-

Wearing tinted glasses, an upturned collar and several pieces of jewelry, Delaney admits he has become “a rockstar” thanks to movies such as The Avengers. “It’s very exciting. I feel very blessed to do what I do,” says Delaney. But landing what many consider to be a dream job didn’t happen overnight. Delaney began knocking on the comic book industry’s door when he was just 16 years old. As a teenager, he sent DC Comics four pages of his best Batman drawings; he mailed a Daredevil submission to Marvel Comics. “Both rejected me,” says Delaney.

“It didn’t deter me, I was very determined to be a comic book artist.” Every year, for the next 11 years, Delaney continued to send submissions to DC Comics and Marvel Comics. During that time, he continued to fine-tune his craft by regularly attending life-drawing classes and eventually landing a job in animation. Finally, at the age of 27, Delaney got the call he had been awaiting for more than a decade. DC Comics commissioned him to draw Superman in a children’s sound book. “Those are the first kinds of jobs you usually get in this business,” he says.

Demand up for Air Canada service Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
After Wednesday’s announcement Air Canada Rouge, the airline’s new low-cost, leisure carrier, will start flights out of Vancouver, the company had its executive team in Kelowna Thursday, speaking to the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association. The airline flew 650,000 people out of the region last year from air-
ports in Kamloops, Kelowna and Penticton, and has increased its capacity in the area by seven per cent over the course of the last two years, or 80,000 seats in the month of July. But as Kevin Howlett, vice-president of regional markets, told those gathered at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel for the luncheon, consistent profitability has eluded the carrier over the last decade and recovery means it cannot dole out flights

airports in this region are keen on additional direct service to and from their airport, and they do so for many reasons, not the least of which is the proven linkage between air connectivity and economic development,” said Howlett. “…As an airline, while we have an unlimited number of route opportunities before us, we have a practical limitation—and that is resources and equipment.” Noting that profit margins in the industry overall average a meagre 1.8 per cent, he touched on the cost troubles, largely personnel related, before explaining how the executive team has stopped the bleeding.

AIR CANADA’S Kevin Howlett says plenty of airports want more service from the international airline. When CEO, Calin Rovinescu, took over four years ago, the carrier adopted an aggressive business strategy focused on financial restructuring
and an employee culture shift. Its leadership has put personal responsibility at the top of the agenda. “Last month we released out best annual re-

Delivering service on time is now a priority for every employee and the company is adding new planes to its fleet, including the world’s largest twin jet, the Boeing 777, to increase efficiency. An overhaul of its pension program and expansion targeted at making the airline one of the top 20 in the world have also boosted profits. “We operate in one of the most labour intensive and expensive industries in the world,” said Howlett.

Foerster broke down when questioned Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Matthew Foerster broke down in tears as police interviewed him following his arrest for Taylor Van Diest’s Halloween 2011 murder. “I feel your pain, I honest to God do,” said Sgt. Mark Davidson, in a video clip of his interrogation of Foerster, April 6 2012. “Let it out…you need to get it out, you need to let your story out.” Foerster, who earlier expressed surprise that -his arrest had made news hacross the country, wept openly as Davidson comforted him. n That clip prompted ra rare show of emotion efrom the Cherryville man, w t▼ CYCLING ,
as he sat in the prisoner’s box blinking back tears. Taylor Van Diest’s family, were unmoved by the footage. Throughout the morning they once again had
‘‘
LET IT OUT.. YOU NEED TO GET IT OUT, YOU NEED TO LET YOUR STORY OUT. Sgt. Mark Davidson to Matthew Foerster
to relive the day Taylor, 18, died from injuries that Foerster has admitted he caused. Taking the stand ear-
ly in the day was the teen who said he found Van Diest’s phone. It was found somewhere between one and three metres from where Van Diest was found. Van Diest’s friend, Clay Valstar, 19, offered testimony that was more demanding on the family. He testified that he was meeting Taylor and another friend for some trick-or-treating on Halloween night in 2011. The jury was made privy to some playful texts between Valstar and Van Diest that night. Their expectation, he said, was that they’d meet at around 6 p.m. But, a regular flow of messages came to an abrupt end after Van Diest sent
a message to a mutual friend, that she was being “crepped.” That prompted them to drive around looking for her, but after 90 minutes or so they called Van Diest’s house to say she was missing, and the police should be called. When they learned that Van Diest’s phone had been found at the railroad tracks, they all went in that direction. Two of the group had gone ahead down the dark path where the tracks lay, and Valstar testified he heard them scream. Van Diest lay on the ground, over a bit of a pit, “grunting and twitching,” he said. He noticed a fair amount of blood, as well.
City urging bike safety on roads
-
g Now that spring has arrived, the warmer oweather and longer days draw residents outside to bike and walk on Kelow-na’s bike lanes and path-ways. d Safety is paramount and relies on everyone’s awareness and understanding of how to intersact with other road or path users, says the City of Keslowna. y The city says riders are encouraged to review the rcity’s traffic bylaws that npertain to cycling. 0 In particular, all riders are required to wear a bicycle helmet and obey the rules of the road, proper pathway etiquette and remember that cycling is not permitted on sidewalks. Motorists are asked to drive aware, obey posted speed limits and to share all roads with cyclists, paying particular attention within school zones. Parking or driving in bike lanes throughout Kelowna is not permitted and motorists should be mindful of these rules at all times. “If everyone is predicable and abides by traffic rules, it significantly reduces the risk of an accident,” said Mike Kittmer, active transportation coordinator for the Central Okanagan. “The popularity of bike riding continues to grow as families and individuals incorporate cycling into their daily lives for both transportation and recreation. Whether
walking, biking or driving, consider others; being patient and vigilant ensures that we all get to our destinations safely.” An experienced cyclist himself, Kittmer says it is much more comfortable riding on the road with traffic when you know the rules and have a
planned route. He suggests cyclists visit bikesense.bc.ca for bicycle safety tips and regulations. “When you follow the rules of the road, drivers respect you and are better able to interact with you safely.” The city and Kelow-
na and Area Cycling Coalition offer cycling skills programs for those interested in cycling but are concerned about doing so on roadways. The city is currently sweeping all bike lanes and most roadways, to make riding safer and more enjoyable.

Province overhauls Agricultural Land Reserve Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
VICTORIA—The Agricultural Land Reserve is being divided into two zones, with regulations to come to allow non-farm home-based businesses outside the southwest regions of high productivity. The changes affect three of the six regional panels of the Agricultural Land Commission, for the Interior, Kootenay and North regions. Details will be worked out in consultation with industry and placed in regulations, said Bill Bennett, the cabinet minister in charge of the govern-
ment’s core review of programs. Non-farm uses will not be considered in the Island, South Coast and Okanagan regions, but “value added” activities such as food processing on farmland are being considered across the province, Bennett said. Bennett and Steve Thomson, acting agriculture minister, reiterated their assurances that the ALC will continue to operate independently. Commissioners are appointed by cabinet, two or three per region, and decisions can be appealed to the regional chairs who act as an executive. Delta South independ-
ent MLA Vicki Huntington called the Interior zone change “deceitful and a betrayal of the public trust,” and accused the government of removing its obligation to consult with the ALC chair on new panel appointments. NDP agriculture critic Nicolas Simons was forced by the speaker to withdraw the term “deceitful” from his remarks in the legislature, as he accused Bennett of keeping the changes secret until after last year’s election. “The fundamental principle is that the reserve was set up for the entire province, not for zones here and zones there,” Simons said.
City in Action CounCil HigHligHts Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art
Council received the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art Annual Report. Highlights included plans for 2014, diverse programming, providing links to the City of Kelowna’s Cultural Plan, and nourishing community partnerships.
2014 Carryovers
Council received Volume 2 of the 2014 Financial Plan for review, including carryover items for multi-year projects or those that were not completed in 2013. Carryovers do not have an impact on taxation. Some projects included in the 2014 carryovers include the Ellis Street and Library Parkades, Cedar Creek Pump Station, Pandosy Village Transit Exchange and Kelowna International Airport’s Drive to 1.6 Million Passengers.
lakeshore Road safety enhancements
Council approved the design, property acquisition and construction of Lakeshore Road between Dehart and McClure Roads. Construction will occur in 2014 and 2015 and will address traffic flow and safety concerns in the area and around Anne McClymont Elementary School.
tourist destination signage
Council received information about touristoriented destination signs and approved the related policy. Tourism Oriented Destination Signs (TODS) work to direct tourists from the highway, to local tourist destinations/ attractions. The new policy will help visitors and residents get to major attractions, reduce roadside sign clutter, decrease driver confusion and create a safer road network by ensuring signage does not compete with other important traffic control devices. kelowna.ca/council

Bennett said the only change to the Interior zones is the addition of “social and economic” factors in considering permitted uses. He gave the example from his Kootenay constituency of a market garden operator who was refused permission to build a second home on an unproductive part of the property so the next generation could take over the business. Rhonda Driediger, chair of the B.C. Agricultural Council and operator of Driediger Farms in Langley, said she is looking forward to the changes that will allow development of new revenue.

Water Utility crews are starting their watermain flushing program to ensure the distribution system is refreshed and healthy.

“The ALC is old and it hasn’t been updated in a long time,” Driediger said. “On a day-to-day basis it makes it very difficult in farming, especially when you’re looking to be progressive.” Faye Street, general manager of Kootenay Livestock Association, congratulated the ministers “for having the three Bs in the male anatomy to get this done—starting at the brain, backbone and work your way down.” Street said young farmers are not entering the industry under the current conditions, and allowing them supplementary income will help maintain the farmers.

Market vendors not split; just have different opinions on move
To the editor: I write with reference to the front page article (by Jennifer Smith) dated Tuesday March 25: Farmers’ Market Could Split to Two Sites. I am one of the vendors who voted No to the proposed move of our market to the north end Clement Avenue location. It is unfortunate that your publication did not seek out the input of the large portion of the market who were not in favour of this move. My main reason for opposing this move was not fear based but primarily the location on Clement. The market is presently located in the geographical centre of Kelowna close to many other amenities including malls, other stores, Hwy. 97, high density residences, a major park and major arterial routes making this market very visible. l i Farmers A11t

City has made strides, but pedestrians out of luck
H
ow to create a vibrant hub where people want to tread morning, noon and night, is a question that’s occupied generations of urban planners brow-beaten by the residents of the cities in which they live. Some downtowns are too boring, some crime-riddled, others too rundown and Kelowna—well, this sweet city has been the focal point of countless barbs for shortcomings in both its core and all the sprawl to which it’s connected. Tell me if you’ve heard these ones before: It has the ugliest highway, there are too many trucks and traffic, what’s with all the big box stores, and the
downtown, well that’s one dumpy dullsville. Of course, there’s been some headway in some of these areas. The highway got trees. Smaller neighbourhoods Kathy throughout the city startMichaels ed to develop their own character and downtown has really been spruced up. There are lights, ice rinks, a big blue bear and more. But Kelowna is still missing a couple ingredients the best cities share: Walkability and flow. Certainly there are pathways and roads that attach one area to another, but there’s no real connectivity. In the distance from downtown to Glenmore, for example, there aren’t

Driver thinks she gets road over walker To the editor: I just want to share my experience of being nearly hit by a silver/grey Ford Flex or similar type vehicle recently. I was walking across Cooper Road (northbound) at the intersection of Highway 97 around 7:45 a.m. The pedestrian signal light was displaying the walk signal and turned to flashing orange hand symbol while I was in the middle of crossing. At that time, a silver/grey Ford Flex ran right in front of me (less than two feet away) while I was crossing more than half way
across Cooper Road. I looked back at the flashing light right away, it was counting down but still had six seconds left. I looked at the vehicle—it was driven by a young woman and she gave me a ‘So what?’ look! She turned into the Prospera parking lot and then to A&W drive-through. I went online and double checked the traffic rules regarding the pedestrian light. It states: A pedestrian facing a flashing or steady hand symbol should not begin to cross the road. Pedestrians, who have already begun to
cross when the hand signal appears, should go as quickly as possible to a safe area. While they are crossing, pedestrians still have the right-of-way over vehicles. I hope that the media will post my experience and people, especially the woman, will know what the proper traffic rule regarding the pedestrian light is. I hope that nobody was or will be hit by her.

Fletcher’s environment musing out of this world To the editor: I was reading the Cap News on Tuesday and was most impressed that you found somebody from a parallel universe who came to visit us and comment on our environmental discussions here on the planet earth—Sooo cool! (Internationally Financed Green Machine Gathers in B.C.) Obviously the alien creature who invaded the mind of your Black Press columnist, Tom Fletcher, has not manifested itself in our version of reality for a significant period time— so perhaps we should be tolerant of his spectacular display of ignorance and bull headed stupidity. It’s either that, or Fletcher has figured out that the money’s better if he tows the corporate-friendly line. Hmmm. I wonder. I certainly enjoy the challenge of hearing dissenting and contrarian views on any issue, even if it only serves to sharpen my own point of view. Alas, there was no such benefit reading this bizarre intrusion into our world. For Fletcher to say that the discussion surrounding environmental issues is systemically rigged in favour of the environmentalists is light years from reality. The picture he paints of a “U.S. directed environmental movement” richly funded by all those billionaires who are lining up to unload truckloads of their money on environmental charities that are trying to get us to stop borrowing in order to reduce our consumption of the goods (that we hardly need) that the billionaires’ companies sell us... is a
concept so preposterous that it just can’t occupy any part of this particular universe. Every single day, I see full page ads in our national newspapers, I hear the head of Northern Gateway (the limited liability company, ahem) giving us her deepest pinky promises over the radio; I watch the pretty pictures on prime time TV of the BC coastline accompanied by the heartfelt voice-over cooing to us that Enbridge is “doing everything it can” to protect B.C. (Does that include setting up a limited liability company to build and operate its risk-riddled pipeline?); and on the web I constantly see the gentle invitations from the oil industry to ‘click here’ to consider their most prudent assessments of the situation and their ardent desire for prosperity and happiness for all Canadians. This well coordinated marketing (when exactly can we call it propaganda?) is put together by the smartest minds money can buy who have conducted extensive surveys and the messages are intelligently crafted to reach the people who can be swayed—and it all costs millions upon millions of dollars. In my casual reading of various newspapers I have noted that Enbridge planned to spend $5 million on Northern Gateway advertising in October, 2013. In the same month, our own government put out a tender for a $24-million campaign ostensibly to use our money to convince us what we need to believe. (Huh?) In the following month, the Nat-
ural Resources Ministry announced that it will spend $24 million abroad and $16 million in Canada to get the message across that ‘our’ dear energy industry is environmentally responsible. Suncor, Cenovus, CAPP, Syncrude, the shipping industry— the ads have been everywhere, constant and pervasive and influential. Advertising works. When was the last time you saw any ad from the organizations that Fletcher rails against: Tides, ForestEthics Advocacy, Ecojustice, Georgia Straight Alliance, Dogwood Initiative? Even the better known organizations like Greenpeace and Sierra Club are only recognized for their names being in the news rather than any paid advertising. That’s because they’re dirt poor. I know the group I support (Environmental Defence) is run mostly by volunteers (all Canadian) and is perpetually short of funds and volunteers for that matter. All of these groups depend on charity and could barely afford to buy one ad for one day in a national newspaper let alone execute an integrated media campaign. So maybe this planet might be a bit better off if Fletcher could tap his heels together three times and think to himself “There’s no place like home” and maybe the Good Witch of the North will take Fletcher and his insidious distortions back to the dark universe from which it all came. Alan Monk, Kelowna
Vendors prices would compete with BC Tree Fruits’ Farmers A10 The Clement Avenue location is out of the way in an unattractive part of town, off the beaten track. Based on the proposed development and road re-widening it would most likely be an unpleasant experience for shoppers for several years. With the BC Tree Fruits outlet directly
across from the market our farmers would have a challenge to compete with their prices. As well we would be moving to a smaller lot— one acre compared to 1.6 at Orchard Park. Our market will be located for the 2014 season at the Orchard Park location. Although the lease has to be renewed annually, there do not appear
to be any plans to discontinue our relationship beyond this year. It should be noted that Orchard Park appreciates our market and was instrumental in providing the financial support to start this market in the first place. This talk of a split in the market does not come from the 62 per cent who disagreed with this

It’s tick time says Interior Health Authority The arrival of warmer weather means many of us are spending more time outdoors. The change in weather also brings out ticks— small bugs that feed on the blood of humans and animals and can sometimes transmit disease. “Ticks are most often found in tall grass and
wooded areas so covering up before you head outdoors and checking for ticks on yourself, your children and your pets after being outdoors are simple things that go a long way to prevent tick bites,” said Jennifer Jeyes, communicable disease specialist with Interior Health.
The most common tick species in the Interior Health region is the wood tick, which does not carry the Lyme disease bacteria. The wood tick can carry other diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, although it is very rare. Some ticks also have toxins that can cause temporary muscle weak-

ness and paralysis if attached for several days, but the symptoms fade once the tick is removed. Signs of many tickborne infections can be quite similar and include fever, headache, muscle pain and rash. The tick species that carries Lyme disease (ixodes pacificus) is more common in the coastal areas of B.C., but may also be present in low numbers in the Interior region. Less than one per cent of ixodes ticks in B.C. carry Lyme disease. In addition to fever, headache and muscle pain, people infected with Lyme disease will often develop a rash that looks like a “bull’s-eye” target and expands from the site of the tick bite. “Most tick bites do not result in illness; however, all tick bites should be cleaned, as infection can occur whenever there is a break in the skin,” added Jeyes. “It is important to watch for signs of tick-transmitted illnesses. Anyone who experiences a bull’s-eye rash or other symptoms should see a doctor as soon as possible.” Other precautions include: • Walking on cleared trails when in tall grass or wooded areas • Wearing a hat, long sleeves, pants and light-coloured clothing. • Tucking pant legs into socks or boots • Applying insect repel-
lent containing DEET on uncovered skin • Carefully checking clothing and scalp (covered or not) when leaving an area where ticks may live • Having a shower after returning from areas where ticks may live. To reduce ticks from entering your home and yard, try these steps: • Keep your lawn short and remove any fallen leaves and weeds • Keep a buffer area such as wood-chip or gravel border between your lawn and wooded areas or stone walls. Any play equipment or play zones should be kept away from wooded areas • Trim tree branches to allow more sunlight in your yard • Keep wood piles and bird feeders away from the house • Widen and maintain trails on your property. If you find a tick on yourself, a family member, or pet, wear gloves and gently remove it. Needle-nose tweezers can be used to gently grasp the tick close to the skin. Without squeezing, pull the tick straight out. Be careful not to crush the tick as this could cause it to inject its stomach contents into your skin. After removal, clean the area with soap and water. If you have concerns or need assistance removing a tick, please contact your family doctor or visit a walk-in medical clinic.

College sets up academy to help aboriginal students Okanagan College’s aboriginal student population has grown by more than 240 per cent over the last seven years—the fastest rate of any post-secondary institution in the province, according to the college. To respond to the growth, Okanagan College has developed the Academy of Indigenous Scholars, through the support of a $40,000 grant from the Vancouver Foundation. The academy is a culturally relevant program developed to support firstyear aboriginal students. The goal of the program is to empower students to take greater control of their education and fully utilize the services Okanagan College offers. “This program comes from a place of advantage, not disadvantage,” said James Coble, director of student services and the former aboriginal access and services coordinator at Okanagan College. “We know these students can be successful and we’re here to facilitate their abilities, help them set goals for themselves and get the most out of their education.” The program is open to all self-declared indigenous students in their first year of university-level arts, science and business programs starting in September 2014. An indigenous student is anyone who declares himself or herself to be
of First Nation (status or non-status), Metis or Inuit descent. The academy will be accepting 30 students across Okanagan College: 15 in Kelowna, and five at each campus in Penticton, Vernon and Salmon Arm. “Acceptance into the program isn’t based on grades. What’s important is students’ commitment to carrying through with the program to the end of the year,” said Coble. Each student will meet with the aboriginal access and services coordinator and develop an individual achievement plan. Each plan lays out recommendations based on that student’s particular circumstances. Some students may benefit from counselling and peer mentoring, while another might want to focus on utilizing study tutorials and one-on-one sessions with faculty. The program will launch in September. Students must be enrolled in at least three university transfer courses in each of the fall and winter semesters to be accepted. Once the individual achievement plan is developed, it’s up to each participating student to carry it out. At the end of the school year, if the student has fulfilled their program’s academic requirements and executed the plan to their coordinator’s satisfaction, they will receive a $400 bursary.

CONCERT
The Guide Outfitters Association of British Columbia will present country musician Craig Morgan in concert on Friday, March 28, in Kelowna. Morgan is wellknown for producing country music that people can relate to. He’s a working class man with a heart for family and the little joys of everyday life. His hit singles include “This Ole’ Boy,” “Wake Up Lovin’ You,” “Redneck Yacht Club,” “Tough” and “International Harvester.” In 2005 his song “That’s What I Love About Sunday” topped the charts for six weeks and was the most played song of the year. Before becoming the country music star he is today, Morgan worked as a soldier, sheriff’s deputy, assistant manager for a Walmart dairy section, and as an emergency medical technician. His single “Almost Home” put him on the map in 2002 and success quickly followed, leading him to receive an invitation to become a member
Entertainment IN THE LOOP of the Grand Ole Opry in 2008. Morgan is also an avid hunter. During the show season, he keeps a target on a tractor trailer so that he can practice using his bow in his downtime. His love for the outdoors was fostered from a young age by both of his parents; many of his early memories involve time spent with family around the campfire during hunts. Today, Morgan shares his passion for the outdoors with his children. In 2010, he debuted on the Outdoor Channel with a reality show called “Craig Morgan: All Access Outdoors,” which provided an inside look at Morgan’s love for music, hunting, and family life. The fifth season of his
award-winning TV show will return this summer. The concert will take place at the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort and Conference Centre in Kelowna. Doors will open at 7 p.m. and the concert will begin at 9 p.m. Tickets can be purchased through Brown Paper Tickets. For more information on this event, please visit www.goabc.org, call toll free 1-877-818-2688 or email info@goabc.org.

Movie Review: Dog tale for light relief SHERMAN AND MR. PEABODY
A
nd so, after attending a funeral last Saturday, I felt the need for something light. So, yes, I admit it, I went to see Mr. Peabody and Sherman—remember the TV show? Being older than dirt means that I’ve seen much in these four score and who knows how many years ago and I do remember the TV show, sad as that is.
BEHIND THE SCREEN
Susan Steen Peabody’s Improbable History was a segment of the 1960s The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show (coming back to you now— Boris Badenoff and Natasha? No, well I loved all kinds of animation
even then, so don’t feel bad if you weren’t glued to the TV set for this stuff, you probably were doing something meaningful, like getting good grades in school. Anyway, I wasn’t up for a race car movie like The Need for Speed, so there I was with two other people at the 9:45 p.m. show, watching an uber smart dog (Peabody, voiced by Ty Burrell) and his adopted human son, Sherman (Max Charles) and their time-travelling
adventures. This show was just OK. I think the writers could have dealt with the bullying issue in a much better way but the characters were just as I remember them, and via the “Way Back” machine are able to revisit historical events and be part of history. For a funnier, more sophisticated movie of a similar genre, go see LEGO. And if you’re up for it see Need for Speed with Aaron Paul.
The four of us who were at Sherman and Mr. Peabody last Saturday, clearly had nothing much else to do, and while it filled up some time, it’s not worth the price of admission. I give Sherman and Mr. Peabody one reel and a tail wag to the smart dog. Susan Steen is a local non-profit executive and a movie buff. susansteen1234@shaw.ca

ney and Steven Spielberg. He is best known for the animated films Princess Mononoke and the Academy Award-winning Spirited Away. His latest and possibly final movie (he is retiring) is the Academy Award-nominated The Wind Rises, an animated story set in the early 1900s about a young man who dreams of flying and designing beautiful airplanes. Canadian comedian and actor Brent Butt (Corner Gas) serves as both writer and star of No Clue D in which he plays a lowlevel advertising salesman who is mistaken for a private eye by a gorgeous blonde. He pretends to be the PI she wants him to be and offers to find her missing brother, but when the job turns violent, he realizes he is in way over his head. Filmed in Vancouver, No Clue stars Am y Smart (Road Trip) and David Koechner (Anchorman). Rick Davis is the general manager of Landmark Cinemas 8 in West Kelowna. LCC163-GM@landmark cinemas.com

OC Coyotes pitcher Wiese aces the mound and education Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
In his four years with the Okanagan College Coyotes baseball program, right-handed pitcher Garrett Wiese has become a model student-athlete for the collegiate baseball program, now in its sixth season in operation in Kelowna. A recruit from smalltown Alberta, Wiese arrived in Kelowna as an unpolished pitcher with talent and has turned into the staff ace and a player who plans to graduate from OC with a degree from the school’s high-
Garrett Wiese ly-regarded business program. “It’s been great,” said Wiese as the Coyotes got set for its home-opening weekend in the Canadian College Baseball Conference (CCBC).”Kelowna

is one of the nicest places to play baseball. It’s great pretty-much year-round and the OC business program is one of the best in Canada. This is probably the most talented team we’ve had in my four years. We’ve been pretty good all four years but the bounces just didn’t go our way.” In the past six years, the Coyotes have won its CCBC division twice but have never got past the league semi-final. This year the club may have its best chance to stand atop the CCBC, a five team league that features the Prairie Baseball Academy
(Lethbridge), Thompson Rivers University (Kamloops), the University of Calgary and the Vancouver Island Baseball Institute. “We have about half of our guys who are returning from last year,” said head coach Geoff White. “It’s a little bit of an older group this year and a really strong core of older pitchers which should make us pretty tough this year. We’ve got some talented young freshman coming in so it should be a nice blend of older guys and some younger talented guys.” Wiese will anchor the
rotation and take the ball this weekend when the Coyotes open up at home against the University of Calgary as well as against the PBA Dawgs. For Wiese, the next 28 conference games as well as playoffs are his final games of collegiate eligibility. As a student-athlete he won’t be able to finish his degree in the four years he has been playing and plans to come back and finish his schooling next year. It means he has to balance post collegiate playing opportunities with the importance of getting his degree. If he returns to OC next year he won’t be
eligible to play. “That’s tough, I’ve been playing baseball my whole life so it’s going to be tough to let go,” he said. “I’m always open. If there is an opportunity to play ball at a higher level I’ll be the first one to jump on the bus. But I’ve put four years into getting a business degree so I might as well finish it up.” Wiese could have an opportunity to return as a graduate assistant coach, keeping his foot in the game he loves. In the meantime, he and the rest of the Coyotes are focused on the task at hand, looking forward to a
28-game CCBC schedule. “This (CCBC schedue) is everything we work for,” said White. “These 28 conference games and the CCBC championship is what our guys have ben working for. Games count in the standings and a conference title and championship is on the line. Our guys are excited about opening up at home today.” The Coyotes play at 4 and 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Saturday at noon and 6 p.m. and Sunday at 12:30 p.m. at Elk Stadium kparnell @kelownacapnews.com

STAFF REPORTER
A trio of Kelowna products have been having a significant impact on the playoff fortunes of the BCHL’s Vernon Vipers. Brett Mulcahy, Brendan Persley and T.J. Dumonceaux have combined to score 24 of the Vipers’ 43 postseason goals— or 56 per cent—and have been a force in Vernon’s march into the BCHL’s semi-final round.
“They’re three pretty important parts to our team,” Vipers’ coach Jason Williamson said of the threesome, all products of Kelowna Minor Hockey. “Mulcahy and Persley are 20-year-olds, veteran guys who have played a lot of hockey. TJ has been here a couple of years and is just getting better and better. It’s good to see all of them having success, and they’ve definitely been carrying a lot of the mail for us.”
Mulcahy and Persley, who played minor hockey together, have teamed up with Colton Sparrow to form one of the most dangerous lines in the BCHL playoffs. Mulcahy leads the league with 12 playoff goals, while Persley has added seven goals and 14 points. Sparrow, who played major midget with Mulcahy with the Okanagan Rockets, has 16 points, including 10 assists.

“Our line works well together,” said Mulcahy, 21, who was traded to Vernon by Surrey earlier this season. “I know both of those guys well, I’ve played with them in the past, and maybe because of that we’ve developed some pretty good chemistry.” As the host team, the Vipers have an automatic berth into the RBC Cup next month. It will be Mulcahy’s second straight appearance in the Canadian national junior A championship, having been to the season finale last May with the Surrey Eagles. Between playing at home in the Okanagan and getting another crack at a national title, Mulcahy can’t conceive of a better way to close out his junior career. “It’s all pretty exciting,” said Mulcahy, who will be attending College of Holy Cross near Boston next season. “It’s close to home, great for my parents, and I already knew a lot of the guys on the team, so it was a nice transition. “It’s exciting to be be able to go to the RBC Cup again, not a lot of guys get that chance,” he added. “We (Surrey) fell short last year, so hopefully we can get it done this year in Vernon.” Persley has been well-travelled since his early days of minor hockey in Kelowna, making stops at Notre Dame, the Okanagan Hockey Academy and with the Western Hockey League’s Chilliwack Bruins. Persley, who has no specific plans for hockey following this season, is glad to be back in the Okanagan with a proven organization and the chance to go out a winner. “There’s no better place to be than in Ver-

non, my billet’s place is 30 to 40 minutes from my home in Kelowna,” said Persley, who added the Vipers have exceeded everyone’s expectations but their own. “Our team has come far this year, we’ve kind of been the underdogs, but used that as motivation, we’ve worked hard and haven’t rolled over. Even though we’re hosts, we want to earn our way to the RBC Cup.” Coach Jason William-
son said the three Kelowna players bring something a little different to the ice, but all are valuable commodities to the Vipers. “Brett is a solid, hard-working two-way player,” said of Mulcahy. “We’ll be relying a lot on his experience going forward.” On Persley: “Brendan is scoring more than he did in the regular season, and we thought he would be at his best in the play-
offs. He’s one of the grittier players in the league and has been tremendous.” On Dumonceaux: “TJ is one of the faster kids out there, one of our top penalty killers,” Williamson said of Dumonceaux, who has five goals and eight points in 13 playoff games. “With his speed and the way he’s been playing, he’s really pushed us to bump up his ice time.” The Vipers will be in Victoria Friday night to open the BCHL’s threeteam round-robin semifinal against the Grizzlies, before returning home Sunday to take on the Coquitlam Express. The top two teams will advance to the best-of-seven BCHL championship series. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

Footgolf gets first outing; Valley courses opening for season It’s being called the first ever footgolf tournament to be held in B.C. and it’s for a great cause, helping Kelowna’s homeless people. Inn From the Cold, the Kelowna Kodiaks—a
street soccer team comprised of Kelowna’s homeless, underprivileged persons and volunteers—are organizing what they are billing as the first ever foot-golf tournament to be held in
B.C. The inaugural Kelowna Kodiaks Footgolf Tournament will be held Saturday, April 12th, at the Okanagan Golf Club’s Bear Course.The Kodiaks are looking to help
the Okanagan kick off the soccer and golf season in style by combining the two sports into one with the possibility of being crowned the first (un)official Footgolf champion in B.C. So what on Earth is footgolf? Kind of exactly like it sounds: A sport that is fun, easy to play and anyone can enjoy. Footgolf originated in the Netherlands and has spread to over 16 countries throughout the world with the Federation for International Footgolf serving as its governing body. The game is similar to golf in that rules, etiquette and attire remain the same (indoor soccer or turf shoes replacing golf shoes as the exception). However for game play, the players’ intent is to kick a size 5 soccer ball into a 21 inch hole with the least amount of strokes possible. The Okanagan golf
club is looking forward to being the first golf course in B.C. to offer Footgolf. The course superintendent has only a small amount of work to do in order to prepare the course for Footgolf. Players will “tee off” from the existing tee boxes, and will be aiming for the larger soccer ballsized holes that are generally cut into the second cut or rough, so as to not disrupt the course from its original intention. The course layout itself is shorter than a trad-
itional golf course which means a much faster pace of play. Footgolfers will also get the unique opportunity to directly interact with the players and volunteers of the Kelowna Kodiaks, who will be acting as their caddies for the day. It is very rare that fundraising participants get to meet the people their donations impact, and the opportunity for the team to become part of the community in a fun way has a significant impact on the self-esteem of the Kodiaks players themselves. The tournament will cost $50 per person (plus a small registration fee), which Includes 9 holes of Footgolf and a casual dinner. All funds raised go directly to Inn from the Cold - Kelowna. Players can register and pay at the following link; http://bit.ly/1pu1bl5. •••
Shannon Lake Golf Course in West Kelowna is reporting its new clubhouse is in the works and is fully expected to be completely operational in the new setting for the 2015 season. The clubhouse was destroyed by fire last May and this year the club will continue to operate the golf side of the business from a temporary trailer near the first tee area.

event and have seen numerous players graduate from the All-Star game to wear the Heat uniform, or continue to play basketball at competitive levels all the way up to and including the NBA. Last year Alex Hart starred in the senior boys’ game scoring 29 points, the highest total on the day. This past season he was a freshman forward for UC Santa Barbara in the NCAA Division I. Julia Reichert was a
four-time attendee of the Interior All-Star game and was player of the game last spring, this past season Julia toiled in the paint on the very same floor she enjoyed success as an AllStar as she suited up for Heather Semeniuk’s Heat squad in Canada West. The tournament’s biggest success undoubtedly has to be Kelly Olynyk who played in this game in 2009 as a representative of South Kamloops. Last June he was drafted
by the Boston Celtics and has upgraded his All-Star experience from the UBC Okanagan experience to the NBA’s Rising Star Challenge, the tip-off to NBA all-star weekend in New Orleans in February. The driving force behind this weekend’s allstar event, Heat women’s coach Heather Semeniuk has once again worked many hours to ensure its success. She has just completed her 20th season coaching women’s
basketball at the Okanagan campus of UBC and is always looking to promote the game of basketball in the valley, and finds this event one of the best ways to do so. “This All-star game is worth every minute of the time we put into it,” says Heather, “and it all goes into celebrating a group
of people that deserve to showcase their efforts on the court. Every All-star player has worked countless hours to get to this level, and from here they can see where this sport could potentially take them. There is no limit— Kelly Olynyk played at this event and now he is in the NBA.”

Taking the guesswork out of mental health
I
n an effort to shift research goals in psychiatry, the US National
Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) will soon only be funding studies that aim
to learn more about the neurobiological underpinnings of disorders.
Attention Boaters Get ready for boating season by getting your pleasure craft licence and proof of competency now. Pleasure craft licence In Canada, all recreational boats with a motor of 10 horsepower (7.5 kW) or more must have a pleasure craft licence. A pleasure craft licence provides a unique identification number that must be displayed on your boat. This allows Search and Rescue personnel to access important information in an emergency. Pleasure craft licences are valid for 10 years. Operating a pleasure craft without one may result in a $250 fine. Proof of competency
Until the technological advances of recent years, psychiatric research and treatment has relied very heavily on alleviating symptoms in the absence of much concrete evidence about exactly how the brain works. Thanks to today’s imaging techniques and a growing body of knowledge about the structure and function of the brain, we now have more opportunity to pinpoint what is happening within the brain to cause specific symptoms. NIMH funds about $100 million in mental health research per year. Last year, more than half of those grants were given
to studies with no requirement to examine biological processes. One NIMH director believes this means there is nothing learned when a particular treatment fails – what results is a waste of time and funds. To remedy this problem, NIMH has now declared future grants will be based on an experimental medicine approach. This means studies funded by NIMH will have to do more than simply aim to alleviate symptoms. In addition, they should also be working to glean more information about biological or neuro-
Everyone who operates a power-driven boat also needs proof of competency — something that shows they understand the basic rules and how to safely operate a boat. The most common proof of competency is the Pleasure Craft Operator Card. You can get the card by taking a boating safety course in-person or online, and passing the test at the end of the course. For more information on how to get your card or to get an Application for a Pleasure Craft Licence, visit www.tc.gc.ca/boatingsafety or call the Boating Safety InfoLine at 1-800-267-6687.

HEALING MINDS
Paul Latimer logical factors underlying disorders. This is an important move and it signals a shift in thinking about psychiatry. It is time for mental health to be treated just as physical health – not as an abstract subject shrouded in clinical guesswork, but as a scientific discipline focused on affecting specific changes in the brain. This change will likely result in some backlash and perhaps concern about existing patients and our need to help them while we continue to seek out causes and mechanisms for each condition. Continuing to provide new treatments that do work to alleviate symptoms is still important. While I certainly agree we need to put pa-
tient needs first, I also strongly believe that it is possible to learn the biological mechanisms for psychiatric conditions and that doing so will lead to much more effective solutions in the long term. Once we learn the subtle differences between different types of depression, anxiety or other conditions, we will be able to develop treatments targeted to specific biological traits. These will likely be more effective at symptoms relief, will probably mean fewer unwanted side effects and will also take out the clinical guesswork involved in determining which medication will work best for an individual patient. I think this move by the NIMH is a good one and I look forward to seeing what kinds of advances are made in our understanding of the human brain as a result.

Remembering a man who made an impression HODGE PODGE
Charlie Hodge pected the same of others around him. Work hard and good things happen, slack off and that’s what you are. So, it was an odd couple connecting that first day. Charlie was a hard-working farmer and I was a lazy wanna-be writer/band manager. Of course the common denominator for our friendship was his son, Barry and our shared caring about Charlie’s only child. In fact, it was Barry who had arranged our first meeting. I was heading to Vancouver to try and arrange some gigs and demo-recording sessions for our band (I was manager, Barry was lead singer) and Charlie was heading to the Coast for some business regarding his farm. By the time we hit Hope, we had basically solved most of the world’s problems, analyzed the multiple sides of son Barry, and agreed that

nothing was much better in life than warm sunshine, good ground to grow food in and a cold beer at the end of the day. As near as I can recall, that road trip was somewhere around 1981 and marked the beginning of a long-running mutual respect and friendship. Ironically, it was the longest road trip to that point that I spent with the Mathers clan, but certainly not the last.
‘‘ CHARLIE WAS THE SORT OF FELLA THAT ONE LIKED INSTANTLY.
The rock band in question at the time was The Silvertones, a few years before The Fanatics and Sea Cruise, which eventually morphed into the hugely popular and successful band The Cruzeros. For the next 20 years or so I spent a lot of time on and off the road with Barry, which meant occasional meetings with his dad. It was always a pleas-
ure. As I got out of the truck near Abbotsford that first day, Charlie reached out and shook my hand and said, “Do me a favour, will ya? Keep an eye on Barry for me. He’s a good kid and I love him lots – but I’m his dad so he only listens so much to me. Look after him for me out there on the road will ya, ‘cause I may not be around forever.” Up until last week, I figured Charlie was wrong. Like a mighty tree, Charlie went on and on in life, weathering multiple storms while providing shelter for those he cared for. Last week Charles Joseph Mathers left this world. He was 97. All of this, I tell for a couple of reasons. Mainly to tell folks that a celebration of life will be held for him (appropriately enough) at his farm at 1308 Findlay Road on Friday, April 11 at 1:30 p.m. Everyone who knew him is invited to come and share a fond memory at the gathering. I also share this because Charlie was a humble man, who went about his business and life with a gracious heart and a tremendous work ethic. And, last but not least, it’s to state that I no longer

Of course, what would I expect when meeting a guy by the name of Charlie? I’ve never met a Charlie I didn’t like, except the occasional glimpse in the mirror after a bad day or night. Regardless, in less time than it took to take off my jacket, throw my suitcase on the backseat, climb in and fasten my seat belt, Charlie Mathers and I were already swapping stories and sharing grins and chuckles. Charlie was the sort of fella that one liked instantly and, though he was not a man of a lot of words, the ones he chose usually held significant weight. His sense of humour was engaging. And while Charlie did not rush into negativity or lean towards snobbery, if he did not have much use for you, he would let you know it in his own sort of quiet way. He could give you a look that said bull**** louder than any voice could yell. Like his son Barry, Charlie was never shy of hard work. And he ex-

hile irrigation of lawns accounts for much of the 24 per cent of valley water used for outdoor residential irrigation, this can be reduced for existing lawns and new ones. Now is the perfect time to feed turf-grass and build up the soil by spreading a one inch layer of organic matter such as Nature’s Gold, well-rotted manure, or compost over your lawn. It will decompose to form new, nutrient-rich soil which in turn feeds your lawn all season long. There won’t be the spike of fast growth, needing more water and more mowing, that chemical fertilizers create. Mulch helps retain moisture. If soil is poor, mulching may be done in fall as well as spring to improve soil faster. Aeration improves water penetration. If you aerate before mulching the mulch will fill the holes. By the time you are ready to mow, the mulch will have settled below mower blades. For more tips on reducing water use on your lawn check www.makewaterwork.ca. Now is a good time to get rid of some lawn not needed for activities. This will reduce main-

Begin with removing lawn where it is difficult to maintain: on slopes, under trees, on sandy soil, in hard to mow or hard to water areas and in very hot, dry places. If you are making a new lawn, take care to locate it on the flat, on at least six inches of good topsoil. When laying out the lawn, make sure the shape is easy to mow and will require a minimum amount of trimming. A hard surface mowing edge for the lawnmower wheel eliminates trimming. Make sure the shape fits the sprinkler area so no water is wasted. A shaded lawn needs less water than one in full sun, so put them on different irrigation zones. Eco-Turf Farms has a water-wise Eco-Smart turf if you are laying sod. Enviro-turf and Ecolawn are two brands of drought-tolerant lawn seed mixes.
Both have deep-rooted fescue grasses that are much better adapted to our climate than traditional Kentucky bluegrass. Seed and sod need regular watering to get established. Once established they need much less water. To learn more about how you can garden successfully in the Okanagan, and reduce water use and maintenance time and costs, I invite you to attend my two night Introduction to the Seven Principles of Xeriscape class. There will be practical information for making changes to an existing landscape, as well as for creating a new landscape and for those who are new to gardening in the Okanagan. I use photos to illustrate the principles of design and planning, soil improvement, practical turf areas, efficient irrigation, use of mulch, good maintenance, and appropriate plant selection. Dates: Monday, April 7 and 14 or Wednesday, April 16 and 23. Classes are from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Details and registration information are on the classes page on www. okanaganxeriscape.org or call 250-762-6018. Gwen Steele is executive-director of the non-profit Okanagan Xeriscape Association.
Spring wine fest dates set The 20th annual Okanagan Spring Wine Festivals will go May 1 to 11. Started in 1994 as a kick start to the wine season in a fledging one-day festival with just 16 wineries, the festival has blossomed two decades later into a 10-day celebration of local food and wine. Now with 119 winer-
ies, more than 70 culinary and wine events, a best of varietal competition and a partnership with Dairy Farmers of Canada, the festival offers a uniquely Okanagan experience for every palate. New festivities this year will include: the Comforts of Grilled Cheese and Wine pre-
sented by Dairy Farmers of Canada, Apprentice Chefs competing in the Cheesiest Sweet and Savoury Competition, a Bubbly Bootcamp, and grand openings of the newest architecturally distinctive tasting rooms, For more information go to thewinefestivals. com.

Outgoing Kelowna mayor will be missed

t looks like Kelowna’s municipal politics will be changing soon, and the question has been asked: What next? But that is a question best answered by others. I think it is safe to say the news that incumbent Mayor Walter Gray will not be seeking re-election this fall is the end of an era for Kelowna. Like all public figures Walter has his supporters and detractors, but the announcement that he will be leaving public life provides a perfect opportunity to focus on the decades of commitment to public service that has been Walter’s career. He has touched the lives of many in our fine city and is highly respected throughout British Columbia. In recognition of his service to the community, he was actively court-

In his professional life Walter began a career in radio in 1957 and went on to own and operate five radio stations throughout the Okanagan and Kootenay areas. In 1986, he made the jump to politics and was first elected to Kelowna city council and would later be elected mayor four times. Walter loves our city and province and he is always thinking of ways to make life better for everyone and move them both
forward. Frequently, he would call me with another idea on how we could work together to build much needed infrastructure. “I have an idea Norm,” he would say, “one that makes great sense and only costs the province a few million.” To be honest, I always loved Walter’s ideas—the idea to build a billiondollar second crossing even before the paint was dry on the new William R. Bennett Bridge, which replaced the old Okanagan Lake Floating Bridge; the idea to build a hospice in Kelowna, which happened thanks to his leadership and that of Brad Bennett and many others; and the $50-million idea to extend Highway 33 from Rutland and connect it to the new road from downtown that currently ends at Glenmore.
There are many more, but this is a short column. The two things I appreciate most about Walter is his unwavering commitment to open Ke-

lowna for business and his personal and public support when I first considered putting my name forward to serve our community on council and later as the MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country. This public support as a sitting mayor for another aspiring politician
is not something one sees very often these days and is another example of his strength of character. Walter has never been one to shy away from the media spotlight. This has been funny, and sometimes controversial. He posed with our friends from Sandalwood (retirement home) in attire most would call skimpy, to generate funds for the hospice and attracted lots of attention when he agreed to be interviewed by a topless columnist. He may be stepping out of public life but, thanks to Mayor Walter Gray, our city is a great place to be. Any aspiring mayoral candidates out there will have a tough act to follow.

B.C.’s small business minister is defending the province’s shift to a new recycling system after an attack in the Legislature by the Opposition NDP. Naomi Yamamoto said the Multi Material BC program transfers recycling costs from taxpayers to the producers who generate packaging and printed paper and challenged New Democrats to state whether or not they oppose that principle. “How many of us have come home after purchasing a relatively small item, struggled to unpackage the item and then found yourself with a mountain of waste material that we have no control over?” Yamamoto responded in Question Period. “This program actually provides an incentive to produ-

cers to reduce their packaging.” The new system led by Multi Material BC is being resisted as too costly by various business sectors, including the newspaper industry and Black Press, the company that owns this newspaper. Yamamoto said the province asked MMBC to work with the small businesses and the B.C. Chamber of Commerce, adding that led to a series of exemptions that absolve 99 per cent of small businesses of requirements to report and pay recycling fees under the new program. NDP small business critic Lana Popham cited severe business impacts and demanded to know if the province will halt the scheduled May 19 rollout pending better consultation with businesses and municipalities.

The BC Government is proposing to offload the province’s world-class recycling programs, run by local municipalities, to an association led by big multi-national corporations. The idea is that we’ll get a better, more efficient program that costs taxpayers less.
Currently, BC homeowners only pay, on average, $35 a year for curbside recycling. Under the proposed regime, you’ll pay more. Every time you bring home a pizza, buy toilet paper,
Unfortunately, what we’ll really end up with is anyone’s guess.
How much more? Well, nobody’s saying.
The association isn’t guaranteeing that we’ll get a better program, or even one as good as the current Blue Box program already in place. Since the association is led by big businesses outside of BC, many of whom are not even headquartered in Canada, one could presume that profits will come before environmental stewardship. They usually do. They also won’t guarantee that there won’t be any job cuts here in BC.
Here’s the only thing anyone does know: we already have a Blue Box program that works, is efficient, managed locally and puts the BC environment first. So why is the BC government flipping a coin, bringing in a questionable recycling program that some of our local elected officials are already calling a “scam?”
And how is this supposed to make things better for BC?
or pretty much anything else that comes in a package, businesses will be passing their increased costs on to you.
It’s time to contact Premier Clark and ask her.
What’s going on here?

has never lost its romance for me,” says Lynch, who visits two or three times a year. “The idea that I can look out the window the same as my great-grandfather did and see the same landscape…there are maybe a few more lights, but it’s the same.” Luckily for North Americans, getting to the Shannon area has never been easier. In February, Aer Lingus began flying every day from Boston and New York JFK to Shannon International Airport. Shannon is only a 5 1/2 to style hourplay. flight It’s fromthe Boston. It is just minutes from western Ireland’s castles and

The coastal towns of Doolin and Kilkee, the golfing mecca of Lahinch and the Burren town of Lisdoonvarna all are easily drivable. Bunratty Castle Folk Park with its 15th-Century castle is just 10 minutes from the airport.

In deep February, getting to Ireland was cheap. The Aer Lingus ticket from Boston to Shannon was just $495 round-trip. I stayed at the famous Old Ground Hotel in the market town of Ennis for $120 a night. I stayed at the pretty Bunratty Castle Hotel for $100. Crowds were few. I was one of only about 20 visitors at the Cliffs of Moher. The mid-February temperature? About 50 degrees, windy and mostly sunny. Best of all, Ireland’s notoriously treacherous driving was easy. I saw few other cars, which was probably lucky for the
other drivers. High tourist season in Ireland is now through the end of August. But go a few weeks before or after, and you can see what the place is like when it’s not putting on a show. When Lynch’s friends come to visit County Clare, he urges them to take a drive from the Loop Head Lighthouse all the way north along the Atlantic Ocean to Galway. “You won’t find a better drive,” says Lynch, whose favourite months here are September and October, when crowds thin and the weather is mild. “I’ve known it for 45 years but just tried to
stay quiet about it.” Ironically, many of Lynch’s secret sights are part of a new tourist trail in Ireland called the Wild Atlantic Way, which encourages tourists to drive the majestic sections along 1,500 miles of Ireland’s rugged west coast—including spots about a mile from Lynch’s cottage. What souvenirs does he recommend? Does anyone actually wear a warm, wool cable Irish sweater when they get home? “They look really nice on kids,” he says. He also used to bring porcelSee Ireland A33

Ireland from A32 ain Belleek china home to his mother and grandmother, “and I loved it for its frailties,” he says. “But you know what really is a gift to me is a block of turf thrown in a fire in northern Michigan, and Knock holy water.” Turf is a block of peat that is often burned for fuel in Ireland, and Knock Shrine holy water is known for its healing powers. In this land of Irish football, where, in my opinion, the best foods are cream, whipped cream, brown bread and Jameson’s whisky, Lynch feels at home. Back in Michigan, people do know him as a poet, mortician and a runner-up for the National Book Award. But in Ireland, poets have special standing. “Everyone in the United States is glad we
have poets in the same way as they are glad we have clean drinking water,” he says. “But in Ireland, being a poet is considered good, honest labor.” This part of Ireland is famed for its music and fiddling, its rugged landscape and its wild coastline—all variations of poetry. “You know that last scene in the movie when Dr. Zhivago dies and the brother has the funeral for him in Moscow, and they say, ‘No one loves poetry like Russians, and no one loves poets like Russians’? You can say the same thing about Ireland,” Lynch says. In fact, when he used to visit his Aunt Nora, who lived in the family cottage before she died and left it to Lynch, Nora told the neighbours they were welcome to come

*Guaranteed Tours
tours of Ireland try to cover way too much ground. Look for something like the small-group West Coast and Islands Tour through Minnesota-based Celtic Journeys, www. celtic-journeys.com/wawwest.htm. Money: Ireland uses the euro, which currently is at a decent exchange rate of $1.38 to 1 euro. Get money from the ATM when you arrive at the airport in Ireland. From Shannon: Use Shannon International Airport as a good jumping-off point for Britain and Europe. I flew onward to London Gatwick on Ryanair for $100 round-trip. Ryanair also now allows a free carryon bag (www.ryanair. com). Aer Lingus also flies to Europe and Britain from Shannon. (www.aerlingus.com.)

Seven great Shannon-area sights Here are seven great spots easily reachable from Shannon International Airport, all in County Clare and Limerick. Cliffs of Moher: Ireland’s most visited natural sight. Soaring 702 feet above the crashing sea, the cliffs stand sentinel for
5 miles. The interesting visitors centre is built into the hillside and is nearly invisible from the outside. www.cliffsofmoher.ie.

Bunratty Castle and Folk Park: Featuring a 15th-Century Medieval Banquet with wenches and an Irish Night with step dancers, the castle dinners play into tour-
ist expectations—but it is fun, and the folk park with its historic cottages is an authentic window into Ireland’s past. www.shannonheritage.com. Doolin (and Aran Islands): Wonderful hiking along this coast; lots of castle ruins and sweeping vistas. Cute village. The ferry to Ireland’s Aran Islands leaves from here. www.doolin-tourism.com. Lahinch to Kilkee and Loop Head Peninsula: Lahinch is a golfing mecca, and you can see its famous links course right
next to the road if you are not lucky enough to play it. Kilkee is an old-fashioned Victorian seaside town, and the Loop Head Lighthouse is the farthest point west in Clare. www. loophead.ie. Lisdoonvarna and the Burren: This normally quiet town is known for its boisterous matchmaking festival each fall, and it’s a gateway to the Burren— the wildest part of Clare, with distinctive limestone rock covering mountains and valleys in lumps and knobs. www.burrennationalpark.ie/visit.html King John’s Castle and the Hunt Museum, Limerick: King John is cast as the villain in “Robin Hood,” but that was the least of his problems. Great new high-tech visitors centre helps you understand the bloody history of this part of Ireland. Stop at the nearby Hunt Museum to see archaeological treasures; I liked the bronze-age pots from 800 BC dug up in Ireland best. www.shannonheritage.com and www.huntmuseum.com.

A massive 51,895 will park a new car on their driveway, 32,312 will house a sport ute in their garage, while another 28,395 will opt for a truck out front. Keith Morgan
Driveway readers to spend billions to buy a new set of wheels Driveway readers are in the mood to splash out an astonishing $3.6 billion-plus of their hard-earned cash to buy new vehicles this year. This is not some by Keith Morgan wild, optimistic prediction but a solid forecast based on what our readers revealed in a comprehensive survey conducted on behalf of Black Press by Pulse Research, a company with 30 years of experience in asking the right questions of consumers. In a series of wide-ranging interviews, Black Press newspaper readers from all over the province gave Pulse a comprehensive account of their spending plans. Their intention to spend $53.1 million on fish and chips, $45.8 million on tooth whitening, $13.1 million on tattoos or piercing, $9.1 million on pet toys and $1.9 million on tuxedos, raised some smiles. But the auto spending intent grabbed our serious attention. A massive 123,275 households will take vehicles for a spin and sign on the dotted line. A massive 51,895 will park a new car on their driveway, 32,312 will house a sport ute in their garage, while another 28,395 will opt for a truck out front. Most people surveyed knew what kind of wheels they would be looking for and what they were prepared to pay.

the Blue and Black on the S model to Detroit. The centre stack can be adorned with either a 5-inch touch screen or the optional 8.4-inch. To me, the 5-inch screen seemed a little small, so I’d invest in the larger version. That said, it was still highly functional and easy to use. On the road, the 2.4L Limited shines brightest when on the highway and on long stretches of pavement. It has ability in the twists and turns, but to really get a dynamic feel, you’d need to opt for the S or C trim to put it in the Sport mode. In that case, you get a different suspension setup and steering feel to really allow you to have more fun in the captain’s chair. Back to the 2.4L though. In the city, I felt I didn’t

win – against competitors like the Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, Mazda6 and Toyota Camry, in an ever-aggressive segment. Using the baseball analogy with the 200 seemed apropos since the drive event took place in Louisville, Kentucky, the home of the Louisville slugger. Nevertheless, here are the meat and potatoes for the all-new vehicle. There are four trims of 200 available. First is the LX and that has a starting MSRP of $22,995. Then there’s the Limited, the S and the topof-the-line C model. Regardless of trim, each comes with an industry first, also known as a 9-speed automatic transmission. My day started behind the wheel of the Limited trim with the 2.4L, 4-cylinder MultiAir engine (MSRP $24,995). This powerplant produces 184 horsepower and 173 lb-ft of torque. The interior reflects that of thoughtful craftsmanship and design. Soft touch materials are used throughout and the layout is easy on the eyes. Not to mention the abundance of cubbyholes in which to place personal items. On a side note, the interior colour combinations drew inspiration from various American cities. For example, the all black interior pays homage to New York City, the Linen and Black is Sausalito, California and

Misty-eyed memories of my first truck
I can remember buying my first truck in 1986 like it was yesterday. It had to be a specific make and model: I was looking for. A Toyota 4x4 pick-up, black in colour and it had to be in good shape. I wanted it to be bone stock with as little mileage as possible. I found one in the paper
that was on the lot at a dealership in Surrey. Quickly I called them to inquire and they said they had a couple of people with deals written up, but it didn’t look like they were going to go through, so if I wanted it I had better get down there right away (Naive at that age to fall for an old trick
like this). I had to get a ride from a friend and I remember it was snowing so it was slow getting there. When I arrived it was running and they were anxious for me to drive it. I took it around the block and parked it in a vacant lot, hopped out and started to inspect it. I
Confessions of a Curber It’s only been a month, but I can see myself selling cars for a long, long time. I feel like a new man. One evening, I was in line at the superstore. An elderly gentleman saw my shopping cart. I had a new digital tire gauge that I was going to give to my next buyer. Turns out he was looking for a used car as he’d recently given his car to his grandson. He just needed something basic. “This is your lucky day!” I told him. The old fellow was around my father-in-law’s age – close to 80. He walked with a cane and had two ear pieces. I was practically shouting to him. What an easy sale. I decided to give him a ride and show him the car. He went on to tell me about his young granddaughter, too. At any rate, we got to the car – it was a base model with an automatic transmission. “It’s perfect for you, sir!” I exclaimed. He got in and sat at the wheel. His face lit up right away. I could tell that he’d been a car enthusiast in his younger days. “Where’d you get this car, son?” he asked me. “It’s my dad’s old car – he passed away and I
“Somewhere along the line, the rebuilt status was dropped.”
just can’t keep it anymore,” I lied. In reality, I imported the car from Washington. It came with documents that mentioned New York State. The title was clean, so I assumed it was in good condition. I priced the vehicle quite high – well over its value. But he didn’t know, and he didn’t ask any more questions. I told him I had another buyer interested (another lie), and that he had to make a decision right away. With no hesitation, he got a bank draft and I gave him the keys. Like I promised, I threw in the new tire gauge. Marty gave me a wink and slowly drove off. Another foolish customer, I thought. No history report to keep me on my toes. And worse, he needs to get it inspected, registered and insured within 30 days - I didn’t bother. I just got my buddy in Bellingham to help me get it across. That evening, I took out the papers I’d received with the car. I decided to go over them more thoroughly. I guess I was a bit bored. Turns out, the vehicle had been registered in four U.S. states. Somewhere along the line, the rebuild* status was dropped. Probably intentionally. The inspection and ICBC will catch that. And who knows if the odometer is right? At least it’s no longer mine. *Rebuild – A vehicle written off as a total loss by an insurance company, then rebuilt and certified for use. This term does not describe a vehicle that has a new or repaired motor, transmission or other major part. Rebuilds offer savings when repaired well, but a buyer has a right to know it was rebuilt. But this buyer didn’t and Walt walked away with the cash.

immediately noticed rust and some body damage. Clearing the snow off inside the truck box, I could see more damage. It looked like someone had dropped a bowling ball into it from about a high ledge. I could smell antifreeze and noticed some oil leaks. I headed back to the dealership disappointed. The salesman was there to greet me. He asked if I had any concerns and I started to point out the obvious. He quickly dismissed them as cosmetic and said do you want to write a deal on it because he has people in the showroom wanting to buy it. I told him I was not interested.

On the ride home, I thought how quickly I had to grow up and look at everything as if someone was going to take advantage of me, sad reality.

On the ride home, I thought how quickly I had to grow up and look at everything as if someone was going to take advantage of me, sad reality. The next day I picked up the latest copy of Truck Trader and spotted the exact make and model I was looking for. I bought the 1983 edition for $9,000 from a family that only used it once a week to drive to Abbotsford and back to Coquitlam for supplies.
1983 Toyota 4x4 pickup. It was perfect; funny how God puts things in your path and everything works out in the end. A week later I started to work on it. I acquired some used 33 inch tires and installed a 4” lift kit. I drove that truck every night after work to show it off. I washed it so many times I thought the paint was going to come off. A year had passed and I purchased many more items for the truck. A major car show was coming up soon and I decided I would put it in the back of the shop and work on it so I could enter it into the show. Giving up my truck for a month was

tough and I had to make a few sacrifices to get around.

My first car show was a hit. I came in second place and I was determined the following year I would be back with something they had never seen before.

had never seen before. I poured most of my paycheques into my truck and took it off the road for two months to prepare for its transformation. I called up the owner of Interco Tire and asked about some Supper Swamper tires. He said he had a set of 44x18.5x15 tires in his office that nobody has seen before. At that time the largest they made were 42”. I told him to send them to me I would figure out what I had to do to fit them under the truck. When they came in they looked big. So big I was getting worried. The custom leaf springs came back from the spring shop and I knew my calculations were correct. With all the multiple shocks in place, chassis freshly painted, motor work done, and lower gears installed it was ready for the tires. I cleared away the debris pile that accumulated around my truck, placed the floor jack under the rear axle and started to jack it up. With the rear tires on and clearing the fenders it was time to move to the front.

need much more power. Steering feel is light and allows the car to move with ease at slow speeds and gingerly into parking spots. Overall, a pleasant drive. The second half of my day was consumed with the V6. Yum. The award winning 3.6L, Pentastar V6 packs 295 horsepower underneath its sparkling new hood. For a driver’s car, this is the one I’d pick. What’s more, you can configure this engine on all trims except the base LX. Additionally, you can opt for an all-wheel drive setup too. However, the AWD system needs to be paired with the V6. Getting into the sport mode, or fun mode as I call it, requires pushing down and turning the central dial/gear selector to the right. Make sure you push it down, otherwise it won’t go anywhere. And less fun will be had. When accelerating, there’s a little bit of a throaty gurgle that comes standard out of the twin exhaust pipes around back. It’s a nice sound and one that I enjoyed hearing over and over again. One thing I did notice is that the A pillar did have width to it, so visibility Xis a little trickier out the front. And with its sloping roofline, visibility out the rear could have been better. Thank goodness for the rearview camera. Along with its new bodywork and insides, there are over 60 standard and available safety features to keep both you and the 200 looking good and in one piece. The 2015 Chrysler 200 will be available in the second quarter of 2014. Visit www.chrysler.ca for more info

The Q5 has been a cornerstone of the Audi brand helping couples and families get into an Audi product but retain the functionality that is needed to move people and cargo around in style. Compact SUVs are growing so quickly in popularity that they might overtake compact cars in sales. The Q5 is sold with a turbocharged 4-cylinder, a turbocharged V6 diesel or two supercharged V6 gasoline models that will rip the tarmac off the road. The SQ5 is the top of the line Q5; it comes with just a few options and makes an already excellent product oh so much fun. Looks When I picked up my test SQ5, something looked different. I quickly realized that the 20-inch wheels had been replaced by 19-inch wheels, fitted with winter tires. The stance of the SQ5 looks so much better with 20-inch wheels or the optional 21-inch wheels for just $1,000 more. The SQ5 has a slightly lower ride than the other Q5 models and comes with splash of grey trim inside the front air intakes, side mirrors, rear air diffuser, plus subtle badging. It could be argued that the SQ5 is a little too subtle for the $57,000 start-

ing price. Inside Audi has been referenced as the high point in interior design. I would agree that the latest products have some wonderful materials and design but this SQ5 is starting to show its age a bit. The screen in the dash is on the small side compared to huge screens from BMWs X3 and domestic brands like the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The lower parts of the dash and doors still have hard plastic bits, where BMW does a better job of covering theirs in soft-touch materials. Even on this top model, Audi still charges a whopping $3,200 for navigation and $1,000 for the Bang & Olufson sound system. In this day of navigation-equipped smartphones, the obscene amounts car companies charge for navi-equipped cars will soon end. On the positive side, the SQ5 is fitted with superb seats that are bolstered perfectly and covered in ultra-soft leather. The seat-

This model is a nice balance of fuel economy and driving pleasure. The SQ5 comes with a supercharged 3.0L V6 with a heart stopping 347hp. The base car will take a run to 100km/h in 7.1 seconds, the SQ5 in just 5.3 seconds, almost a full 2 seconds quicker. What is the most impressive part of the SQ5 is just how good it is to drive in any situation, thanks to the standard

Audi Drive Select system. Being able to change the sensitivity of the steering, throttle response, transmission changes and even the sound of the engine, makes this SQ5 a pleasure in stop and go driving or full throttle passing on the highway. I found the comfort setting to be best in the city and the dynamic setting for open road cruising. The ride is firm and very responsive without being too choppy and combined with the potent engine can be placed into corners and is sucked to the pavement thanks to a sophisticated Quattro AWD system.

Lisa Angelica Rochford 1966 - 2014 On February 1st, 2014, surrounded by her family and treasured friends, in San Miguel Mexico, Lisa passed away after a tragic accident involving her beloved horse, Alta Gracia. We will miss seeing her warm, loving smile and hearing her contagious laughter. Lisa will be forever remembered as a vibrant, beautiful young woman who followed her passion and successfully lived her dream. Lisa had recently become Mexico's National Reserve Champion for Dressage. Lisa's parents Helga and Leslie, brother Chris and wife Niki and nephews Nicholas and Jacob would like to thank everyone for their support at this difÀcult time. Words cannot express their overwhelming gratitude to Lisa's friends in San Miguel de Allende and in Canada for their unbelievable emotional support and all of their help in honouring Lisa's memory.
FLOYD, CAROL LINDA CHRISTINE August 29, 1955 ~ March 4, 2014
Carol will be deeply missed by aunts Mary and Nel Makortoff , brother Sid Floyd (Linda), and sisters Wendy Mirmotahari (Afshin), Sharon Hunt (Earl), and Kathy Schaefer (Glen). Nieces and nephews, Sarah (Pablo), Nathan and Adrienne Floyd ; Jayme and Casey Chisholm (Jody); and Madeleine and Rachel Schaefer. Carol was also great aunt to Keita, Anne, and Kenai Floyd; and Tessa, Ava, and Cameron Chisholm. Carol’s mother and best friend, Helen Floyd, greeted her in heaven where they are walking along a sunny beach far above the clouds. Carol was born in Vancouver and moved to Grand Forks in 1969. Carol moved back to Vancouver immediately after graduating high school. There she worked for Canadian Customs Brokers and then started a long career with Canada Post. Carol continued to work at Canada Post when she moved to Kelowna in 1981 and until her retirement in 2012. Carol was genuine, generous, and kind. She kept life-long friendships, especially with her high school friends.

Carol was a devoted aunt to each and every one of her nieces and nephews. Carol loved to cook and sew for family and friends. She would arrive at all family reunions with an abundance of food and mass quantities of her latest sewing project with plenty for everyone. Carol’s passion for quilting took up much of her time in her retirement and she was a member of many quilting groups. She used to say that her quilts were her babies. Her sewing was impeccable and she had a gift for arranging colors and patterns. Carol loved shopping for fabrics - she who has the most fabric wins! Carol loved to travel. In her early twenties she traveled to Europe and was abroad for many months. Her mother was her traveling and beach combing partner and together they traveled to Jamaica, Fiji, Bali, Venezuela, Costa Rica , the Cook Islands, Cuba and Mexico. We wish to thank Dr. Schulze, the staff at Kelowna General Hospital, friend Teresa Stadel who held Carol’s hand in her last hours, as well as Carol’s friends for their love and support. Carol’s family, friends, and fellow quilters are invited to a gathering at 2PM on April 12th, Unit 2 - 1950 Burtch Road, Kelowna, BC.

A healthly lawn takes work but it’s worth it to the environment A thick, healthy lawn is lot more than nice looking green space. Well-maintained turf, for example, cools our atmosphere, reduces erosion and is better able to withstand the extreme heat and drought conditions of late summer. Like all living things, plants, including grass, need food for optimal health. Thicker, healthier lawns with deeper root structures make a bigger contribution to the environment around your home. Spring and fall are the best times to feed your lawn, say advisors in this
field. Do it in early- and latespring, and then avoid applying fertilizer when the temperatures are above 30 C. Feed again in the fall to provide nutrition that will help see your lawn through the long, cold winter. If you have leftover fertilizer from last season, you can still use it. Break up any clumps before placing it in the spreader, and store any remaining fertilizer in the original package, sealed, and stored in a cool dry place. It’s important to use the right fertilizer on your
type of lawn, so always read the bag for information that includes the amount of nutrients, such as the NPK for Nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P) and potassium (K). The bag will also tell you how much area it will cover and how to apply it properly. Newly established lawns require phosphorous for root growth. Older lawns that have the clippings left on after cutting, however, gain nutrients back as the clippings decompose. Established lawns can usually use a phosphorous-free formula when it comes to fertilizer.
WELL-MAINTAINED turf, cools the atmosphere, reduces erosion and is better able to withstand the extreme heat and drought conditions of late summer. NEWSCANADA/CONTRIBUTED

What to know when purchasing your first home
Y
our first home purchase can be an overbearing experience. What you must do is have the best understanding of the process in order to ascertain the best mortgage product and the expenses that come along with that purchase. As we’ve stated in previous columns, it is important to talk to a mortgage professional to see what size of mortgage you will qualify for. There is no cost to you in having the mortgage approved. You will be guided as to what is needed as far as income verification, credit scores and what size of a down payment will be needed.
If you are employed by a company it is standard practice to have a “letter of employment” on company letterhead explaining length of time on the job, position within the company, salary and probability of employment. Along with that, you’ll be required to supply us with your most recent pay stub. Self-employed income verification is different and has been explained in a previous columns. Credit scores are very important and will be completed by the mortgage professional to establish past and current credit. A down payment can
come from your own resources, gifted from a family member or, in some cases, borrowed. Remember, all debt, such as credit cards, car loans and the like are taken into consideration for calculating your debt servicing, along with your income. Once you have a good understanding of what’s needed it is important to talk to a real estate professional to help you find that first home. It’s always best to not aim too high for your first home, as it is better to get your foot in the door and build up equity rather than overextend yourself. What you have to remember is there are costs involved in the purchase
of the home. They are: • If you have less than 20 per cent cash down, there is a “high ratio” premium with either Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation or Genworth Financial. The fee is based on the “loan to value” of the mortgage and increases the amount of the mortgage. For example, should you have five per cent cash down on a $200,000 purchase price, and you amortize the mortgage over 25 years, the premium will have a 2.75 percent charge attached to the mortgage. The premium will be $5,2255. and your mortgage $195,225. Generally, an appraisal will not be required if
you have at least 20 per cent cash to put down. In that case, there will generally be an appraisal of the property required. The charge for the appraisal will usually be around the $300, which you will have to pay for in most cases; Home and contents insurance will have to be arranged with an insurance company prior to taking possession of your home and can be put on a monthly payment plan; You will need to pay for hook up costs for electricity, phone, heating, and other utilities and you should set up a monthly account for your property taxes. That can be done at a financial institution or de-
posited directly with the city or regional district; If you previously owned a home, you will have to pay the property transfer tax which is one per cent of the first $200,000 and two per cent of the balance; Then there are legal fees. We suggest you contact a lawyer or notary to have them give you a quote for their legal work. These are just a few things to think about when purchasing a home. It is very important to ask as many questions as possible as this is probably the largest purchase of your life to date. Remember, there is no such thing as a silly question when it comes to mortgage financing.
Also, should you not feel comfortable tlking to a morgage broker on your own, bring someone with you who understand the home purchase process. The broker should go over everything in detail and ensure that, if you do have questions, they are answered.
