LIFE ON
MARS Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
H
igh on the slopes of a Hawaiian mountain, Ross Lockwood is in the midst of a Martian adventure, taking place some time in the not-so-distant future. That may sound like something pulled from the opening pages of a low budget sci-fi flick, but the Lake Country man is actually part of an experiment aimed at developing an understanding of what’s needed for life on Mars. For the last month Lockwood, 27, has been part of a select crew of scientists participating
in a NASA funded simulated mission to Mars. In an 11-metre diameter dome built in a rock quarry on the slopes of Mauna Loa, the space agency will collect the information needed to develop psychological guidelines that will one day be used to select astronauts capable of making a real trip to the red planet. And while the space agency gets its intel, Lockwood, who is doing his doctorate in condensed matter physics at the University of Alberta, continues with his own research and gets a pretty good impression of life in the far flung reaches of the universe.

CLOSE-UP ROSS LOCKWOOD (right) doing what he loves best—experimenting and teaching. As a child (below) even his T-shirts had the stars, moon and rockets on them.
CONTRIBUTED
From A1 “Other than the obvious things that we can’t simulate, like gravity, or the things that would be too expensive to simulate, like a pressurized habitat, the Hawaii Space Exploration and Analog Simulation mission (HISEAS) really is a high-fidelity Mars simulation,” Lockwood explained. “We generate our own power from a solar array, we manage our water down to the millilitre, and we are only eating foods that would be considered self-stable.” The meals they eat are composed from dehydrated meats, fruits and vegetables, which allows for some versatility and creativity. “The dehydrated chicken that we have is very dry and bland, but because we have powdered milk, spices, and pasta, I was able to create a delicious chicken carbonara using only ingredients we have on hand,” he said, in an email correspondence. “I may have cheated a little by adding some dehydrated bacon…I’ve always experimented with food back home, but now my life depends on it.” Another top accomplishment in his culinary arsenal is paprika-lime popcorn seasoning while, on the flip side, Nutella-cheese wraps were panned. Beyond suffering taste-buds, Lockwood and his five fellow scientists are also feeling what it would be like to deal with the inconveniences of space travel. For example, they’re simulating the speed-of-light delay between Earth and Mars at their greatest distance. That means some long waits when he’s browsing the web or sending emails. “If I browse a website, I actually have to wait 40 minutes for the website to load. Of course, since we are simulating a Mars mission in 2025, there are a lot of neat tricks that allow us to bypass the 40 minute delay,” he said, pointing out that computers may be able to anticipate interests and download news before the user opens the computer, so it’s ready and waiting.
Childhood dream realized through ‘Mars mission’ “It’s fun working with systems that might actually be used on a future mission to Mars. Lockwood and his team are all assigned various tasks within the dome from Mission Control, the way you’d expect a real crew on Mars would have. “This week we are trying to estimate the volume of the hillside that our dome sits on using only the tools that we have on hand. “All in all, it makes for a difficult time developing a routine.” Other assigned tasks have included growing plants, weighing how much trash the team generated and, his ongoing task of figuring out the efficacy of surgical tools created from a 3D printer. Some days they’re also sent on “spacewalks” that have to be pre-approved by Mission Control. “Usually a spacewalk takes about two hours, start to finish, and you can expect to be exhausted for the rest of the day,” he said. One exhausting space-suit wearing adventure is outlined on his website spincrisis.net.

sounds of nature, which will get me through the four months we are here.” His fellow scientists, with whom he shares so many traits, are also a big part of what’s making the adventure enjoyable. “The crew here is really making it a fun experience though, so as much as we are assigned work to do, it’s all things that we’ve grown up dreaming about doing anyway,” he said. Those dreams were born in Lake Country, where he spent his childhood, Kelowna, where he went to high school, graduating from KSS in 2004, and at the bottom of Okanagan Lake, where he and his sister vied to see who could hold their breath the longest. “My family paid close attention to my schoolwork, and worked with me to teach me things outside of the regular curriculum,” he wrote. “I also had some very talented teachers that recognized my interests and worked to challenge me. I have been lucky that my teachers have always encouraged me. “I recall quite vividly in Grade 7 teaching groups of Grade 2 students about phase transitions in water, from solid to liquid to gas.” When he broke his wrist and collarbone in Grade 9, he had to miss classes, but a teacher gave class credit for a tiny electronic robot creation. In Grade 11, he founded an engineering club that built a T-shirt cannon for the school’s sporting events. “That outside encouragement helped me develop a healthy passion for a broad range of topics, something that led me to where I am today,” he said. And, while he didn’t picture the Mars simulated trip exactly, he knew something big awaited him. “I guess what I’m trying to say is that we never envisioned doing any other kind of work. Our entire family has always been explorers, and this is just another step along that path.” Lockwood is three months away from his release from the HI-SEAS project.

of an evacuation. Bruce Smith, communications co-ordinator for the regional district, said the list should include items that you may not immediately think of, such as eye glasses and even cell phone chargers. “Those are the sorts of things that you may need right away,” he said. According to Brolund, because of Kelowna’s experience with the 2003 Okanagan Mountain Park Fire and the fires and flooding we have had in this area since then—such as the forest fires in Glenrosa, Seclusion Bay and Trepanier, all of which prompted evacuations— the public should be better prepared than they may in fact be. And the time to think about how to respond is now, not in the heat of the moment. “It’s a conversation that may only take 30 minutes but could be crucial,” said Brolund.

across the country, including here in the Central Okanagan. So emergency preparedness officials want to make sure residents are ready if they have to leave their homes at short notice and have to fend for themselves for at least 72-hours. One of the most important things single individuals and families can do is to have a plan, discuss it amongst others who live in their home and have an outside contact who can help them connect with each other in the event of an emergency. Kelowna deputy fire chief Jason Brolund, who is also the regional emergency preparedness coordinator for the Central Okanagan, said this upcoming week is all about getting the word out to the public that they have a big part to play in being prepared. Brolund said the authorities are constantly tweaking the regional plan and carrying out exercises to prepare it for virtually any type of emergency.

Shepherd said as a result of the Okanagan Mountain Park Fire 11 years ago, she has become “passionate” about emergency preparedness and has even given presentations about it on behalf of the Red Cross. “I have a (grab-andgo) kit and in terms of education, I would rate where I’m at as 100 per cent. But when it comes to actually being ready, I’d say I’m only halfway there, and that’s being generous,” said Shepherd, admitting she, like others, tend to become complacent when an emergency is not staring her in the face. “I have a pack and I know what I am supposed to have in it , but it’s not all there yet.” Still, Shepherd said she hopes next week will help serve as a reminder to the public to start talking about the issue with

According to Brolund and Smith, you should be prepared to cope on your own for at least the first 72 hours of an emergency, while first responders and rescue workers help those in urgent need. By taking a few simple steps, you can become better prepared to face a range of emergencies, anytime, anywhere.

NEWS kit. During an emergency, we will all need some basic supplies. You may have to get by without power or tap water. Be prepared to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours in an emergency. And key to having a grab-and-go kit is making sure it is kept up-to-date. Brolund said visiting www.cordemergency. ca is a good place to start when it comes to planning. “That’s where you can join more than 1,500 other people who have already subscribed to receive email information updates whenever the Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) is activated in response to any emergency in the Central Okanagan,” he said. Subscribers receive real time notices whenever any new information is released from the Emergency Operation Centre, including detailed maps showing areas under evacuation alerts and orders. He said the cordemergency.ca website proved to be an incredibly valuable direct information source during past flooding and wildfire events in this region.
“You’ll also find links on the website to a wide variety of information that will be useful as your family makes its own emergency plans, from floods to wildfires and severe weather-related emergencies,” said Brol-
und. He added that Emergency Preparedness Week gives everyone a chance to prepare and take stock of their family’s needs now, in a “calm, stressfree and rational way.” The cordemergency.
ca website also has links to the wealth of emergency planning information available through the provincial Emergency Management BC and federal GetPrepared.ca programs. For more information,

▼ SPRING WINE FESTIVAL
Growth not taken for granted Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Oenophiles will celebrate this week as the Spring Okanagan Wine Festival gets underway. What started in 1994 as a kick-start to the wine season in a one day festival with just 16 wineries, has blossomed into a much anticipated 10day celebration of local food and wine, explained Blair Baldwin, the general manager of the festival society. The festival now showcases 119 wineries and over 70 culinary and wine events that more than 7,500 guests are expected to attend. “We have grown as the Okanagan Valley has grown,” said Baldwin pointing out that recognition for that development has come in many forms, not the least of which being a recent Huffington Post article, which listed the Okanagan as the No. 1 premier wine destination. Recognition like that, he explained, can be par-

That said, the festival society isn’t just sitting on its laurels. Baldwin said they’re continually sussing out trends and demands to keep a global base of wine lovers intrigued. The wine industry itself has had a similar strategy, having found a great deal of success on home soil. Now 20 per cent of all wines drank in B.C. are from B.C., and the industry generates $2.01 billion in provincewide econom-
Blair Baldwin ic activity. “We’re just hitting our stride now,” said Miles Prodan, president and CEO of the BC Wine Institute. A winning balance born from a growing number of wineries, and ample supply of VQA
quality wine has recently formed the basis for industry expansion. “Before the last couple of years the supply has met demand,” Prodan said. “Now we’ve recovered from the winter kills we suffered three to four years ago and wine making techniques have gotten better…so we’ve finally got supply to match demand, with room for some export.” That room for export has allowed the industry in the last year to tap into Hong Kong and the US for new consumers. “Those are two of the most competitive wine markets in the world,” said Prodan. “If we can do well there, we can do well anywhere in the world.” Currently only a handful of wines are in those markets, but Prodan said hopes are high that they’ll soon be able to expand BC wine’s profile. If nothing else, the fact that local wines have won big on international stages should indicate that it’s possible.

On Monday, Kelowna city council will review the outcomes of the public engagement process it held for the future development of the South Pandosy waterfront. The process brought 30 community, business and resident volunteers together to craft two site designs at an urban design charrette. While the charrette was identified as the main focus for public input into the design of Pandosy Waterfront, the overall engagement process also
included several other opportunities to ensure broader public participation. The charrette provided feedback from the participants through information sharing, dialogue and an idea exchange. The diverse perspectives represented ensured that proposed options were debated in-depth before they were finalized. Both of the site designs produced during the charrette include all 11 city-owned lakeshore properties, plus two road
ends in the South Pandosy neighbourhood. Charrette participants requested the flexibility to work on all the city-owned lakefront, rather than just the seven lots north of Cedar Avenue as initially outlined. This was supported by the charrette consultants and city staff. The designs going before council on Monday show a significant shift since the last proposal in 2011, say city staff. Through community feedback, all the city-

owned lakefront properties were included in the design, more park space was added and all mixeduse development was kept on the east side of Abbott Street. In addition, council changed its focus from seeking financial return on the project to seeking a solution that will require no additional taxation. The two options to be presented to council are called “refined option 1” and “refined option 4.” The major differences between the two plans include the re-alignment of Abbott Street, the location of the proposed paddle centre, the park size and associated cost of park development. The options are similar in that each design accommodates the paddle centre (a council requirement) and includes park space, as well as the continuation of the Abbott Street multi-use corridor and a public pier. “Staff will be recommending refined option 4,” said Graham Hood, strategic land development manager for the city. “On balance we feel it best bridges the feedback we received from the public and charrette participants with the project parameters that council endorsed. “Option 4 provides a planning solution that will animate the lakefront and bring year-round vibrancy through active living opportunities such as the park and multi-use corridor. “It also encourages a neighbourhood design that ties Pandosy Village to the lake.” To view the council report, go to kelowna.ca/ council and for more project information, visit kelowna.ca/cityprojects.

▼ GO FISH PROGRAM
Shannon Lake stocked with rainbow trout Wade Paterson
STAFF REPORTER
Shannon Lake Elementary students excitedly shrieked as 900 rainbow trout were released into a netted off area of Shannon Lake Thursday morning. The annual stocking of the lake is part of the Regional District of the Central Okanagan’s Go Fish program, which is in its eighth year. Each weekend from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. until Sunday, June 15, children 15 years old and younger will be able to fish for rainbow trout and will be
able to keep one each day, without a fishing licence. Sharon Foster, a Grade 2 teacher at Shannon Lake Elementary, said students look forward to watching the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. stock Shannon Lake each year. “Part of our science exploration is on life cycles, and at the school we’re raising (kokanee salmon) from when they were fertilized from an egg, and we’re going to release those fish into Mission Creek park,” said Foster. “So it’s great for us to compare the rainbow trout to the kokanee salmon.”

Al Springer, with the Peachland Sportsmen’s Association, came up with the idea for Go Fish nearly a decade ago. “We put it on to teach (the kids) how to fish, for one thing, but also to show them that their food doesn’t all come from

To the editor: In response to Easter ‘bully’ Shatters Peace All Weekend letter to editor,S April 29 Capital News. I feel that a few thingsd need to be made clear aboute h this situation. First of all: The Kelowna District Fish and Game Club has been in Southeast Kelowna for 100 years this year, much longer than Mr. Potts and his neighbours. If you buy property near a shooting range and then complain about the noise then you need to give your head a shake. This kind of complainingJ is no better than the peoplea who move to Kelowna to beD around our vast vineyards andi then complain about the pro-T pane cannons the farmers useG to protect their crops. N Second of all: I lived on Bedford Road for 19 years,a approx one km from thel range and I never, at anyt point, felt that I was “forcedv indoors” by the noise.

LETTERS ▼ FISH AND GAME CLUB
Think of all the money noisy gun club competition brings to local economy To the editor: Re: Tranquility Broken: Easter ‘bully’ Shatters Peace All Weekend (April 29 Capital News). Let me start off by saying that I have no connection to the Kelowna Fish and Game Club, however, I have shot at their range several times in the past. Perhaps [letter writer] Mr. Potts should have looked around before
buying/renting a home in that area, as the KFGC has been established in that area for quite a number of years and have been hosting competitions there for a long time. They hosted a twoday match there and, if as he says over 19,000 shots were fired, that would mean that at least 75 to 100 people were in attendance. There is no way that number of people who
shoot this type of match were all local, so let’s just say that at least 60 of these came from out of town. That means at least two nights in a hotel/motel for these 60, or $12,000 into our economy. These people also have to be fed so at a conservative estimate at least 250 meals were purchased and also conservatively $5,000 were spent on meals.
Many would have driven in and even the locals had to drive to the range so conservatively $6,000 was spent on fuel. Many would have also taken advantage of our night life and local attractions, (wineries, etc.) so again at least another $5,000 would have been taken in by our local economy. Looking at this from a local perspective, at the
Shooting from A10 doesn’t make any sense either, as not everybody has the same beliefs. To
many it’s just a long weekend spent with friends and family, some who enjoy shooting sports. If you really feel that
bothered over a few days a year that sound like a “military invasion” then perhaps you should move to another part of town
and not try to ruin things for those who use and enjoy the KDFGC. You don’t see the people who live near the airport try-

very least, over $25,000 was pumped into the local economy and all that happened was a lot of holes were punched in paper targets. Perhaps it should also be noted that 75 to 100 people were walking around with firearms and fired over 19,000 rounds and no one was injured or killed. David R. Madill, Westbank

The Nicest Topless Glass Railing in the World!
WorkSafeBC should add work commute to stats
To the editor: I really appreciated Jennifer Smith’s page one article on the National Day of Mourning memorial held Monday. (Don’t Take Worksite Safety for Granted, April 29 Capital News.) Life is a precious gift and sadly too many are lost at work in accidents that could have been prevented. As I was reading the article I see she has quoted that 22 people were killed in motor vehicle accidents while on the job. Please allow me to 1point out how low and misleading this number quoted from WorkSafe BC is, because it ignores workers killed while driving to or from work. You may recall your coverage of the National Day of Mourning memorial for Road Crash victims organized last November by another Capital News columnist, Paul Hergott. Each year in Canada, over 2300 people are killed and another 50,000 injured in road crashes (Transport Canada), including over 400 in B.C. (ICBC). If a jet plane crashes and kills this many people, we call for national public inquiries, yet people getting killed one (or several) at a time in road crashes is OK? Not. I suggest that we need
to take proactive action to improve worker safety on our roads. On a typical day at least 25 per cent of the traffic on our roads in cities is workers driving to/from the job site, so in the order of 100 workers are killed on their way to or from work. That WorkSafe BC statistic should really be increased fivefold, closer to 122 workers killed while driving and over 228 workers killed overall, each year. Workers need our help off the site as much as on the site. Sleepy (a.m. commutes) and/or tired (p.m. commutes) workers are among the worst, highest risk drivers to have on the road. Crash reports will tell you that driver error is a contributing factor in 96 per cent of crashes, so perhaps we need to expand the role of WorkSafe BC’s jurisdiction to include ways to make driving to/ from work safer for workers as well, not just driving while at work. Think about it. We would all benefit from safer roads, right? In Fort MacMurray, Alberta, there were so many trades workers killed commuting to and from job sites that several employers now bus them. Trades jobs in B.C. are forecast to boom in the coming decade, we need to be proactive to pro-
tect our youth going into trades as much on the road as on the job site. Why can’t we do something similar here in Kelowna or elsewhere in B.C.? We already have good transit in Kelowna; yes it can always be improved to meet demand. We already have lots of bike lanes that are being improved each year. We already have online carpool.ca services. We even have one noteworthy employer in Kelowna that buses its employees, Canadian Blood Services, transporting them on highways between Kelowna and their mobile blood donor clinics in Kamloops, Penticton and Vernon. Sadly, no one else has followed suit (yet). Not enough of us stop to think about the driving risk—until it is too late. Over your lifetime the risk of dying in a car crash is one in 100. So look to your left and right: In a room of 100 people, one of you will die in a car crash—unless we do more. For our younger generation, newborn to age 40, more years of productive life are lost in road crashes than those killed due to teen suicide, cancer and heart disease. I’ll bet every person reading this letter knows someone who has, or has themselves, been in a serious
crash. It is not worth it. Please take time to stop and think about it. If you have time, I strongly recommend a good read on road safety that has just come out on ways we can reduce road fatalities, a book by Neil Arason, called No Accident. He has some startling statistics gleaned from publicly available data sources on how bad our road safety problem is, along with some very practical ways that we can all reduce our risk of being killed, many of which are in use by other Canadian jurisdictions. And perhaps if enough of us sound off to our elected leaders, it can be put under WorkSafeBC jurisdiction to help workers and employers make our roads safer for all—
you, me and the next generation. It is a team effort— driver instructors, traffic cops, road tests, community planners, transportation engineers, researchers, workers, employers, drivers—we all need to do our part, but it is clear from nagging fatalities that what we have done to date is not good enough. We need to do much more, we need to get innovative and realize synergies that exist, such as WorkSafeBC site monitoring and proactive safety programs. Please add your voice to this. Dr. Gord Lovegrove, associate professor, UBCO Sustainable Transport Safety Research Lab

NEWS ▼ GO FISH PROGRAM
Trout stocking program gives kids a chance to try their hands at fishing Trout from A9 Safeway,” said Springer. “It’s a lifelong habit, once they get it.” Dave Mahovlic, a fish culturist with the Summerland Trout Hatchery, said the rainbow trout released into Shannon Lake Thursday acclimatize quickly to
their new surroundings. “The fish do very well, there’s lots of food in here and (it’s) a good habitat for them,” said Mahovlic. The truck, which transported the fish to Shannon Lake Thursday, was equipped with several oxygen tanks. “The oxygen is fed into the water, because
fish need oxygen to survive. So when we put quite a number of them in a tank full of water like this, they need a life support system, because they would (quickly) use up the oxygen within the water. “So we can take them all over the province, wherever we need to go.”
On Saturdays, volunteers from the Kelowna and District Fish and Game Club and Lonely Loons Flyfishers Society will provide equipment and expert fishing guidance at Hall Road pond. Members of the Peachland Sportsmen’s Association will lend their fishing expertise to Go Fish
participants in the netted area at the south end of Shannon Lake on Saturdays. Each Sunday, regional parks services staff will provide equipment and will be available to help youngsters as they try their luck in the two fish-
ing program locations. The urban fishery program kicks off this Saturday at Hall Road pond in Mission Creek Regional Park and on Sunday at Shannon Lake. Those participants of the Go Fish program who have their own fish-
ing gear are encouraged to bring it, as there is a limited supply of rods and reels to borrow at each site. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

TONY BENNETT will perform this summer at the
Mission Hill Summer Concert Series on Aug. 1 at the West Kelowna winery’s outdoor stage venue.
CONCERT
Legendary singer Tony Bennett may find a new place to leave his heart after performing this summer at the outdoor Mission Hill Summer Concert Series venue. Bennett will forever be attached to San Francisco because of the signature song he made famous, I Left My Heart In San Francisco. But Bennett has endured for decades in a constantly evolving American music scene, having sold 10 million records alone in just the past decade. Bennett will perform at Mission Hill on Friday, Aug. 1, 7:30 p.m. Along with Bennett, also announced as performing in the concert series this summer is the Gipsy Kings set to play Sunday, Aug. 24, 7:30 p.m. It has been 25 years since the Gipsy Kings hit the music charts with their self-titled debut album, what was then a unique, irresistible blend of traditional flamenco styles with Western pop and Latin rhythms. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Gipsy Kings, each ticket purchased online receives a digital download of the group’s latest album, Savor Flamenco. Tickets for both concerts went on sale Wednesday.

CULTURE SCENE
On Thursday, May 8, 5 p.m., the ongoing Okanagan Institute Express series at the Bohemian Café, 524 Bernard Ave. in downtown Kelowna, presents Culture Makers: Arts Movers, Shakers and Divas. This series installment will celebrate the stories and achievements of these cultural innovators who are working hard to turn the Okanagan into a thriving supportive environment for artists and their community: Carrie Anne had a vision in the summer of 2012 to create an unorthodox learning place for art, building creative community and she saw the words “heART school” and quickly drew the logo. For many years, Carrie has taught group and private workshops with her own quirky, intuitive mixed media style. Now, with heART-
Entertainment IN THE LOOP school, she is creating a gathering space for artists to practice their craft and mentor other young creatives to do the same. Ruth Bieber holds a Master’s degree in Education, from the University of Calgary, with a specialization in Rehabilitation. Prior to obtaining this degree, her professional focus was as a counseling therapist, working with clients with disabilities; often more than a single disability. She shifted from traditional, verbal approaches, to the power offered by the arts. In the early 1990s, she founded InsideOut Theatre, which was a reflection of her own evolution from therapy to theatre; from the therapeutic arts, to the power of performance for people with a wide range of mixed abilities. She was artistic director of this ground breaking theatre company for 17 years, and spoke and performed at conferences and festivals. She was also curator of an exhibit of works by blind and vision impaired artists, Just Imagine, at the Kelowna Art Gallery. Her art exhibit is touring BC, and she recently directed a senior’s theatre project with the Society for Learning in Retirement. Katie Brennan is an artist, curator and art consultant currently based in Lake Country. She completed her MFA at the University of Guelph in Ontario in 2009. In 2005, she completed her BFA at Emily Carr University in Vancouver. She has exhibited work across Canada, the Uniter States and England. She has completed

A musical collaboration set for Saturday, May 3, 4:30 p.m., will be the culmination of two and half years of wishing, hoping and planning. Percussionist/composer Bruce Henczel and the Okanagan Handbell
Chorus join forces for a concert at Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church, 2091 Gordon Dr. In December 2011 at the Okanagan Symphony’s Family Christmas Special, Henczel and
the Okanagan Handbell Chorus were the guest artists on the program. The OHC is an ad hoc group of handbell musicians from through out the Okanagan Valley, with a few from farther afield,
that was put together expressly for that event. The concerts were highly successful. It was the first time Henczel had seen a handbell choir, and he was enthralled. Many of the ringers
described that opportunity as one of the best handbell experiences they’ve ever had, hoping for another opportunity to play together again. See Events A20

Rockets nab Kelowna product in first round Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
As a kid growing up in Kelowna, Jonathan Smart often entertained thoughts of one day suiting up for the hometown Rockets. Smart took a huge step towards realizing that dream Thursday, as the Rockets chose the 5-foot11, 170-pound defenceman in the opening round of the 2014 WHL bantam draft. Kelowna’s first choice and 22nd choice overall, Smart played this past season with the Okanagan Hockey Academy where he posted 10 goals and 32 assists in 48 games. “The thing about Jonathan is his intelligence and play-making ability,” said Rockets assistant GM Lorne Frey. “He makes excellent decisions with the puck and he competes.” Smart is the son of Jason Smart, a 6-foot4 former centre with the WHL’s Saskatoon Blades. Smart was one of five OHA players taken in the first round of the draft, and was headed to Penticton by van with some of
his teammates who were all following the draft on their phones. When his name came up with the Rockets alongside of it, Smart admitted he was both surprised and thrilled. “I was speechless,” said Smart, who moved to Kelowna when he was five. “There was nothing to describe it. It was unbelievable. “It’s a dream come true pretty much,” he added. “You grow up watching the Rockets and seeing all the great defencemen that played for them. It’s unbelievable them picking me. I’m extremely grateful.” Lorne Frey believes Smart has all the tools to become a well-rounded WHL defenceman. “He’s so good offensively, he’s another high end offensive guy and I think the defensive side of his game will come,” added Frey. “We think his intelligence is as good as anyone out there at this stage and I think we are fortunate to acquire him.” The Rockets didn’t have a selection in the second or third rounds,
then in the fourth took Cooper Haar, a forward from Huntington Beach, CA, and Jordan Sandhu, a centre from the Seafair program in Richmond. The first Kelowna product chosen in the draft was defenceman Griffin Mendel, who was selected 11th overall by the Kootenay Ice. Mendel played this season at Okanagan Hockey Academy. In the second round Kelowna product Owen Hardy, a centre with Pursuit of Excellence, was chosen by the Vancouver Giants. In the fourth round, Jake Harrison of West Kelowna and POE defenceman, was selected by the Spokane Chiefs. The first member of the Kelowna bantam tier 1 Rockets to be selected was captain Lucas Cullen, who went in the fifth round, 95th overall to the Calgary Hitmen. Goaltender Liam Hughes, a teammate of Cullen’s with the tier 1 Rockets, went to the Edmonton Oil Kings in the seventh round. Hayden Dick, a forward from Kelowna who

Tour of fly fishing films Trout Unlimited’s big fundraiser It’s the biggest fundraiser of the year for the Okanagan chapter of Trout Unlimited and there are plenty of tickets still available for tonight’s F3T Fly Fishing Film Tour at the Laurel Packinghouse. Several fly fishing films will be screened at the event, which has grown over the past five years and is in its first year at the Laurel Packinghouse. Doors open at 5 p.m. and organizers have set up fly fishing demos, a silent auction as well as a
WKB254
rep from Pategonia Inc. to talk to as local fly fishers gather at the event. “Switching over to the Laurel has allowed us to make it more of a social event,” said Travis Lowe of Trout Unlimited. “We want people to come down early and socialize before we get into the films.” Any proceeds raised from the event will go straight into the coffers of Trout Unlimited, which is raising money to support the troubled Kettle River.
“We will have people there to talk about Trout Unlimited and what we are doing and what the plan is with the Kettle,” said Lowe. In the past five years the Fly Fishing Film Festival has raised $10,000 for Trout Unlimited and together with a grant, the group now has $30,000 towards a goal of $60,000 for a future project on the Kettle. “We have to find a land-owner on the Kettle to buy in and work with us on a conservation project,” said Lowe. “We’re trying to find the
right project to put our money towards.” The 6th annual Fly Fishing Film Festival will screen eight movies with topics ranging from saving king salmon in Alaska to one man’s attempt to guide every day of the year. Doors open at 5 p.m. with the first film at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at the door and people are asked to come early, sign up to become members of Trout Unlimited and help conserve the local waters.

The Mariners (6-10) are in fourth and host the Wolfpack in a doubleheader on Wednesday before making their way to Kelowna. At 6:00pm on Saturday the Coyotes will then face the Mariners in the first of two on the weekend. The Coyotes lead the regular season series 4-1, outscoring them 17-15. On Sunday the Coyotes will again face the Mariners at 10:30 a.m. then play their regular season finale at 4 p.m. against the Wolfpack.

said starting catcher Tyler Pentland. “We just talked about grinding it out all around: Pitching, defense and hitting. No matter if we won or lost, we committed to putting it all together every game.” After the meeting the Coyotes put a pair of wins on the board and sparked its season, winning 10 of its next 13 contests to sit at 13-11 heading into the set of regular season games this weekend, before the CCBC championship tournament next weekend. “Everyone bought in to that one concept and after that weekend we went on to start winning,” said Pentland. The Coyotes conclude their regular season this weekend at Elks Stadium as they host the Thompson Rivers University Wolfpack and Vancouver Island Baseball Institute Mariners in two doubleheaders beginning Saturday at noon against the first place Wolfpack.

Warm-up with yoga Kelowna novice golfer and yoga instructor Barb Vermassen is holding an open house early next month to introduce linksters to the new location for her yoga for golf business. Vermassen has changed the name of her business to the 15th Club: Yoga For Golf and will offer a free class to golfers interested in working on their game by using the mind/body principles of yoga. Former PGA teacher of the year Rob Anderson of the Kelowna Golf and Country Club as well as a current student of Vermassen’s will be on hand as a guest speaker. The open house is June 1 at the new location near the corner of Pandosy and Lawrence. “I am anticipating a significant turnout of golfers from the Kelowna golfing community and feel it is a unique opportunity to get golfers, pros, course representatives and vendors all together under the same roof to socialize and see what is all going on in the golf community,” said Vermassen, who started her yoga for golf venture last year. In her classes, Vermassen focuses on stretching and strengthening various parts of the body relating to the golf
swing and teaches about using breathing to help with focus and concentration. “The classes are geared to beginners with lots of advanced modifications for those with an established yoga practice,” she said. “I lead the students through the poses so they can cultivate greater self awareness in their movements. My teaching style is very alignment based and I am working with students to ensure they are doing the postures safely and maximizing the benefit of each pose.” Vermassen changed the name of her business to the 15th Club as golfers can only legally have 14 clubs in their bags. The 15th club is the golfer him or herself and she says yoga will help golfers optimize their body and help their game “I like the idea of of-

Kelowna United wrap-up • U11 girls Kelowna UnitedBurn—5-0 over Kamloops Black, and 6-0 over Vernon. In the second week of the TOYSL season, the Burn’s leading scorers were Abigail Taneda, Brooklyn ‘Cookie’ Michalkow, and Lauren ‘Boomer’ Voros, each of whom netted three goals. Special mention must be made of Jaidyn McGrath’s back heel pass to Cookie, which led to the final goal against Vernon, with Abigail Taneda nutmegging the Vernon keeper after a fine cross into the box by Lauren ‘Lolo’ Schmidt. • U12 girls Kelowna United Fusion 3 Shuswap 0 KU started strong, opening the scoring two minutes in when Sophie Lachapelle crossed into the area where Kassidy Day finished on a onetime shot. With about 5 minutes remaining in the half, Lindsay Notte found
Rylee Semeniuk moving to space, who then fed Kassidy Day for another one-time shot that found the back of the net. At the 48th minute of the second half, Lindsay Notte fed a perfect give-and-go through ball to Kassidy Day who scored again, giving her the hat trick. Goalie Sophie Gibson recorded her second shutout of the season. Kelowna United Crushers blanked Vernon United 3-0. Two goals from Madeline Middlesteadt and Skye Neale got United off to a quick start and close to the end of the first half Ashlyn Eisenkrein chipped one over the Vernon keeper who was hampered by the sun in her eyes. It was 3-nil Kelowna at half time and that’s how the game would end. Kelowna United Crushers downed Kamloops Blaze 4-1.

Kelowna. Right on the stroke of half time, Kamloops tied it up 1-1. In the second half, Kaley Krivoshein took the game by the scruff and scored a second half hattrick to make it 4-1 Kelowna. Kamloops White defeated Kelowna Crushers 3-0. Although they had some good passing, Kelowna was unable to put together a successful drive. The determined Kamloops squad scored three unanswered goals to take the game. • U14 Girls Kelowna United 0 Vernon United 1 Both teams played a good, fast paced, high tempo game. KU did get some scoring opportunities, but had difficulty building their attacking plays under Vernon’s high pressure defending. • U15 Girls Kelowna United 11 vs Revelstoke 0 • U13 Boys Kelowna United 3 vs Revelstoke 2 Down 1-0, KU answered when Karson Andrew placed a through ball to Christopher VanDenHeuvel who turned and released a shot into the top left corner of the net.
KU went ahead a few moments later on a feed from Tanner Peters to Carson Whitley who buried his shot behind a diving keeper. Revelstoke tied the game, but the victory was sealed for KU when a well-placed corner kick by Reid Herron was hammered into the back of the net by Cameron Sorensen. • U14 Boys Kelowna United 1 Penticton 1 Following a fortunate bounce in the first minute of play, the KU14 boys were off to a 1-0 lead against the Penticton team. Despite dominating the majority of the game play, the KU squad was unable to find the net for another goal. Penticton came back in the second half to tie up the game. • U16 Boys Kelowna United 3 Vernon 2 With the score 1-0 Vernon, United responded as Kyle Martin carried the ball up the field and tapped it to Foster Warren who centered it to Josh Clark for the goal.

tribute to family members. For instance, I spend several weeks every spring torn between two family traditions that honour my parents. The first timeline tradition is making sure I get my yard and garden prepared for spring planting by spending the last two weeks of April and the first couple weeks in May weeding, turning dirt, moving compost… Gardening is a healthy art form I learned from my mom. I recall the multiple hours we spent together in the garden with mom passing on her sage-like wisdom about all things growing. The second tradition I learned (mainly from dear old dad) often clashes in timelines with the first one. By genetics and years of training, I am now annually absorbed with the Stanley Cup playoffs. I learned from father all the necessary skills of watching hockey—controller in one hand, beverage in the other, a tilt proof TV table nearby, and the inherent ability to scream at inanimate objects such as a television screen. The mere fact that these two important events take place at the same time tells me one of three possible things

about God: God has a twisted sense of humour, God DOES want the male specie to learn how to multi-task, or God is not a hockey fan (we know he is big on gardens because of Eden, however we only suspect he loves hockey because otherwise—explain Bobby Orr). So what to do? Tez’s mom sold her long-time home and in downsizing to move into her new home decided to pass on a few gems from her house. While Tez largely desired to scoop up a variety of weathered yet nostalgic garden ornaments, it was the bar fridge that intrigued moi. As we headed back home one of the last things mom said to us was, “Well, enjoy the little bar fridge.” Being the sensitive and intuitive fellow that I am, I immediately felt the pressure of making sure the fridge not only arrived in one piece and was ‘carefully’ relocated to a safe spot in the home (thanks Clay and Tez), but also ‘enjoyed’. However, time has slipped by and I have failed Tez’s mom. The garden ornaments are in the yard, but the beer (err, bar) fridge remains alone in the corner of a dark, quiet rec-room while I struggle hard in the yard. It’s not right. The guilt and the pressure are mounting. I am feeling strongly compelled to simply have a cold beverage from that fridge while sitting down and watching a hockey game. Problem is the garden and yard keeps joyfully getting in the way. I feel like I am being torn between loyalties to my mom or my dad. I feel like I am letting down Tez’s parents, and likewise feeling conflict between my own passions. Which to do, pull dandelions or drink wine, plant beans and potatoes or cheer for the Bruins? A couple of years back, I actually solved the dilemma by bringing a small portable TV out into the yard and playing the game in the background while working in the soil. When a goal was scored I would check it out briefly and then return to the play by play in my potato patch. However, Teresa and I were only dating at that point and so the slick move was deemed ‘cute and creative’ back then. Now, I am not convinced it would go over so well, especially if I moved

▼ ACCIDENT
Police looking for careless driver The Kelowna RCMP is looking for a suspect after an SUV was involved in a hit and run before fleeing from police early Thursday morning. At around 2:30 a.m. on Thursday, police were investigating a complaint of threats on Bernard Avenue at Water Street when a vehicle could be heard revving its engine followed by crunching noises. “A police officer saw a dark-coloured SUV up on the sidewalk and heard bystanders shouting at the driver to stop,” said Const. Kris Clark. “The two male suspects in the
threats complaint had apparently gotten into a black Nissan Pathfinder which struck a pair of parked vehicles as it drove away from the area. The officer was able to locate the vehicle near Gordon Drive but it sped off when police activated their emergency equipment.” Police were forced to quickly discontinue the pursuit due to the danger to public safety but later located the Pathfinder on Bernard Avenue at Ethel Street where it had crashed into two other vehicles, said Clark. “The passenger, a 25-year-old Kelowna man, was found about a
block away, suffering from non-life threatening injuries consistent with the crash. A police service dog was used to track the suspect driver but he could not be located,” said Clark. The passenger has since been released without charges pending further investigation. A 37-year-old Kamloops man faces a number of potential charges including flight from police, failure to remain at an accident scene, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and assault with a weapon. He currently remains at large as of Thursday afternoon.

Brewery in New Mexican desert is no mirage Bob Hoover CONTRIBUTOR
ABIQUIU, New Mexico—A parched throat is one of the hazards of hiking in the New Mexico desert. If you’re scrambling around the beautiful and empty stretches near this village north of Santa Fe, you might think you’ve seen a mirage when a brewery comes into view. It’s real. The Benedictine monks at Christ in the Desert, in the tradition of their Old World
brothers, started brewing beer in 2006 at a small operation in their desert retreat 27 miles north of here. While small batches are brewed in the desert, the flagship beer, Monk’s Ale, is made at a commercial brewery near Albuquerque. The road approaching the monastery—U.S. Route 84—is well traveled because it passes Ghost Ranch, the former home of artist Georgia O’Keeffe. Her paintings of the area capture the singular beauty and colour of the canyons and creek beds where Christ in the Desert sits in the
Santa Fe National Forest. There’s only a small sign on the left of the highway heading north from Ghost Ranch that points the way to the retreat up a narrow dirt road rutted and full of gravel that banged against the car as my wife and I innocently set course. We should have expected a bumpy ride because the route is called Forest Service Road 151. Thirteen miles, bruised tailbones and nearly an hour later, the low adobe buildings appeared in Chama Canyon, seemingly dropped by heli-
copter into the flat, red-coloured landscape. The monastery started in 1964 with architect George Nakashima designing a welcoming chapel that grows out from the canyon wall. Accompanying the subtle architecture and stark rock walls is a silence that envelopes visitors—aided by the lack of cell phone reception and absence of machinery. The place runs

half-barrel system at the monastery in 2011 and devised recipes to make brews similar to the European ones. Five religious orders in Belgium make Trappist beers while others farm out the brewing to commercial operations. Merchant copied that approach by contracting with the Rio Grande and Sierra Blancha brewery in Moriarty, N.M., where the Abbey Brewing Co. maintains its own equipment. He makes specialty beers at the monastery for draft sales only, pointing out that “it’s pretty rough getting a tractor-trailer down that road, so we keep it small.” He gets the beer started and turns the fermentation process over to the monks. Merchant also oversees the small garden where hops indigenous to New Mexico are grown and used in the monastery beers. Merchant plans to expand the brewery’s capacity and install more sophisticated equipment to make it a year-around operation. “We have to shut things down in the summer when it gets pretty hot,” Merchant said, so he will add a refrigeration system in the

THIS is the sign of Monastery of Christ in the Desert, a brewery run by Benedictine monks just outside of Santa Fe.
Beer Heaven -sent Brewery from A30 next year. Because the monastery brewing schedule is limited, visitors interested in a brewery tour must make reservations well in advance by calling Merchant at 1-505-670-6802. Check the monastery website www.christdesert.org for information on visits. It also offers brief accommodations for individuals as well as a gift shop. There are at least two other monasteries in the beer business this year: Spencer Trappist Ale is made by the monks at St. Joseph’s Abbey in Spencer, Mass., an unfiltered beer in the Belgian tradition and available only in New England. The Benedictine Brewery is the project of the Mount Angel Abbey in St. Benedict, Ore., and plans to release its beers later this year. Western Pennsylvania’s own Benedictine monastery, Saint Vincent, the oldest in the United States, brewed beer in the German pilsner style until 1920 and was the victim of Prohibition. After the brewery burned down in 1926, the archabbey in Latrobe abandoned plans to restore the brewery operation. Kim Metzger, spokeswoman for the archabbey, said the Saint Vincent beer will remain only a part of history. “And besides, the recipe is lost,” she added.

A tire also performs best, lasts longer and provides best fuel economy when its internal pressure is set at a level recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, and checked on a regular basis. The tire decal, with optimal front and rear recommended tire pressures, is usually on the driver’s door or door jam. If not, the owner’s manual should give you the information and/or tell you where the tire decal is located. A single under-inflated tire (by about 6 psi /40 kPa) can cause a 3 per cent increase in fuel consumption. Using a grade of fuel with a lower octane rating than recommended by the vehicle manufacturer may cause the engine to ping or knock on hard acceleration or when climbing hills, which is not good for the engine! On the other hand, using a higher-octane fuel than your vehicle’s engine needs is generally a waste of money. That said, the pricier fuel may also contain some additional cleaner additives, which is good. Have a great summer and a safe driving vacation. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Pick the right ride for you By Alexandra Straub Life of two wheels is incredible. Just ask anyone who rides. But part of that appeal is finding a riding style that fits your preferences. There are many different ways to get you on the open (or dirt) road to enjoy the best of the great outdoors. I’ll suggest some new makes and models to consider in each category, but by no means are these the be-all-end-all of choices. Cruisers Cruisers have mass appeal because of their low seat heights, generally comfortable ergonomics and ability to get you from A to B in style. Some models have the foot pegs stretched forward. They might not be the most nimble bikes around but they certainly do have mass appeal. Better yet, they come in all different sizes, shapes and displacements making it even more accessible to riders. Bikes: Honda CTX700, Yamaha Bolt, Harley-Davidson Superlow 1200T, Suzuki Boulevard C50 Sport Tourer Want a sportier edge while still maintaining comfort while riding for extended periods of time? Consider a sport touring motorcycle. They’re generally not as heavy or as elaborate as a full on touring bike, so you get the best of both worlds. Bikes: BMW K1300S, BMW K1600GT, Yamaha FJR1300, Honda VFR1200 Touring How I’d describe a touring
bike: Not small. These machines are typically heavy, but come equipped with the technology and luxuries that can take you across the country and further. Their fuel tanks are generally much bigger so you can keep going for longer. Furthermore, storage compartments, relatively speaking, are quite generous. Bikes: Harley-Davidson Electra Glide/Ultra Limited, Honda Goldwing, Suzuki Boulevard C90T B.O.S.S. Trials Those looking into trying riding without the high speeds might fall in love with trials riding. But get ready for a workout. If you look, there’s no seat. That’s because you’re meant to stand. Trials is a slow speed type of thrill where you manage obstacles and find ways to do things that even you didn’t think was possible. Think: riding up huge logs, up steep hills and over some interesting terrain. Either way, it’s a lot of fun and both physically and mentally challenging. Bikes: Montesa Cota 4RT, Beta 200, Gas Gas TXT Pro Dirt Playing in the dirt has never been so much fun. Whether you’re young or young at heart, dirt bikes are a great way to enjoy the outdoors. Dirt bikes are restricted to the dirt, meaning, unless you have a dual sport bike that has a license plate, you can’t ride them in the road. That said, they’re generally quite affordable and are extremely durable. Since there are so many dif-

ferent kinds to choose from, I’ll list the manufacturers that make them Bikes: Honda, KTM, Yamaha, Husqvarna, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Aprilia Adventure Take the road less traveled, when you want. Adventure bikes have an uncanny ability to get you through some incredible terrain. Bikes: BMW F700GS/ F800GS/R1200GS, Suzuki V-Strom, KTM 1190 Adventure Sport If you’re looking for the ultimate performance machine, a sport bike is the way to go. These are generally designed with the racetrack in mind but are street legal. They have more horsepower than you’ll ever need and harness the engineering prowess of the best of the best. That said, they have an aggressive seating position and aren’t always suited for taller riders. Then again, if we really want

I raise this because the all-new BMW 335GT is the long wheelbase 3 Series, developed for China, modified for a niche market here. Looks Adding 10 cms of additional legroom to the back seat of the 335GT opens up a different experience for rear passengers. The GT offers

the GT model, so the front seats remain unaltered. It is the back of the car that is dramatically different. With added legroom and a higher roofline the GT feels open, especially when fitted with the panoramic roof. My kids loved the extra space but noticed the doors sit a bit higher compared to a regular mid-size SUV. The hatch has no rear wiper so expect rear visibility to be blurry on rainy or snowy days. (You do get spoiled with a rear wiper on an SUV). The hatch is electronically operated and provides a long and wide cargo area, plus the rear seats fold in a snap. The rear windows and cargo do not have darkened, privacy class like an SUV, which is something I would prefer. Drive The 3 Series sedan has been considered the benchmark in the compact luxury market for decades and a lot of the same goodness 5
BMW 335GT. is here in the GT. With a longer wheelbase and a slightly higher centre of gravity it doesn’t handle as nimbly as the sedan but it is much better than the taller X3 SUV. The power from either 241 hp turbocharged 4-cylinder or the 300 hp turbocharged 6-cylinder engines goes to all four wheels and is shifted through a very slick 8-speed auto box. There are settings for vehicle dynamics and suspension from “Eco” to “Sport Plus” that can take this car from relaxed

to athletic at the push of a button. I really enjoyed driving in sport mode and getting the full effect of the 335GT, as the in-line turbo 6-cylinder is still one of the best power plants on the road. For buyers looking to save on fuel and when purchasing, the 328GT is still a potent machine. Verdict The GT falls into a very nice spot in the 3 Series family, and I include the X3 in that group. The sedan is a great car but not as practical as the X3. Yes
the X3 has traditional SUV appeal but looses some of the sedans nimbleness. This is where the GT plays. It has a bigger cargo area than the X3, more rear legroom but it also has more a sedan stance on the road. The price is more expensive than the X3 so this is a premium offering in the BMW family. If I were in the market for a BMW the 335GT or less expensive 328GT would be in the running. With kids I lake having and SUV but still want the fun and stability that a sedan offers. This GT might just be the right balance for some. So thank you China for helping to bring a unique new class of car to our market. zack.spencer@drivewaybc. ca

Luxury sport ute with an emphasis on safety first The 2014 Infiniti QX60 is a luxurious sport utility vehicle that puts safety above everything else. Looks: The QX60 is a very attractive vehicle to these eyes; it has distinctive Infiniti looks. The projector style headlights flow with the body lines and the fog lights look like they belong instead of an afterthought. The side body lines almost give the appearance of waves moving up the vehicle. LED rear brake lights and center high mounted stoplight sit atop the rear power lift-gate. Chrome accents around the windows give it a sense of elegance. In The Cab: The cabin seemed large to me at first, but after climbing in and getting comfortable it is really not that big.

proportioned person really spend some time trying out all of the seat positions. Once in the driver’s seat I found the controls well positioned and easy to operate. I liked the navigation screen with 3D mapping, the monitor offers a bird’s eye view of the vehicle and detects moving objects thus providing more help in backing up in a tight parking lot. It features an 8-way power driver’s seat with adjustable lumbar support, 6 way power front passenger’s seat, 60/40 split folding and sliding second row bench seat that allows easy entry/
exit even with a child seat installed, 50/50 split folding third row seat that reclines. The audio system is a 6 speaker, AM/FM/CD with MP3 playback capability and has a speed sensitive volume control. The AWD model receives a Bose 13 speaker premium system. Safety first: The QX60 includes dual stage front airbags with seatbelt and occupant sensors, driver and front passenger side impact supplement airbags, roof mounted curtain side impact airbags with rollover sensor for all row outboard occupant head protection. Infiniti recognizes how important it is to have children secure in their vehicles. They have developed a latch system that securely anchors a compatible child seat. Intelligent brake assist system is a safety feature that continuously moni-
tors and analyzes closing speeds to a vehicle ahead and provides warnings. If a collision is immanent, it will also apply the brakes. There is also a lane departure warning and prevention system. Power: A 3.5 litre, 24 valve V6 engine with 265 horsepower and 248 foot pounds of torque power this vehicle. The transmission is an electronically continuously variable (CVT) with manual shift capabilities. Pump frequency: 10.5/7.6 L/100km (city/ highway) 10.9/7.8 L/100km (city/ highway) AWD Model Warranty support: 48 month/ 100,000 km Roadworthy: Excellent handling to this vehicle, steering was quick and responsive, and body roll was at a minimum.

blue Salvia ‘East Friesland.’ There are several large pots of hardy rugosa roses, off-shoots from our ‘Hansa’ and ‘Blanc de Coubert’ bushes. Grasses include feather reed grass (Calamagrostis ‘Karl Foerster’), big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii), blue oat grass, blue hair grass (Koeleria glauca) and blue grama grass (Bouteloua gracilis). All are clump formers. ‘Stella d’Oro’ daylilies are nice companions to the grasses. Eighteen-inch Sedum ‘Arctic Fire’ has attractive foliage all season and deep pink blooms in late summer/fall. It’s easy to grow and very drought-tolerant. OXA memberships will be available. Benefits include a 10 per cent discount on plant purchases from nine local nurseries, a discount on OXA classes and workshops, and free admission to OXA member’s events. You can register for the next Introduction to Xeriscap’ class scheduled for Thursday, May 8 and 15, 7 to 9 p.m. More details are on OXA website.

his is the second of my two-part series about the Okanagan Xeriscape Association plant sale. The popular event is coming up this Saturday, May 3, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the unH2O Xeriscape Demonstration Garden, in front of the H2O Aquatic Centre, 4075 Gordon Dr. Proceeds from the plant sale help cover expenses for the volunteer-maintained garden. There will be hundreds of water-wise plants to choose from. Last week’s article included native and rock garden plants that will be at the sale. You can read it in the Tip of the Month article at the bottom of our association’s website home www.okanaganxeriscape. org or on the Capital News website, www.kelownacapnews.com under Lifestyles. Mediterraneanthemed plants at the sale will include a children’s favourite, giant lamb’s ears. It has big, velvety-silver leaves and grows in full sun or part shade. With very few blooms, it makes a great low maintenance groundcover or backdrop/contrast to other plants. Nepeta ‘Walker’s Low’ catnip gives a stunning show of blue from May to July and again late summer if dead-headed. Add elfin thyme between stepping stones for an inviting path through the garden. Two plants that are hummingbird magnets are red coral bells and Jacob Cline beebalm. Both grow well in part shade. For butterflies and pollinators, choose the long-blooming Rudbeckia ‘Goldsturm’, gaillardias, and Coreopsis ‘Zagreb’ as well as the non-spreading Achillea ‘Moonshine.’ To contrast with the yellow blooms, add deep

Black Mountain Topping out of final Canyon Ridge home an expanding neighbourhood ▼ WEST KELOWNA
A Canyon Ridge development house in West Kelowna now has a pine tree installed on its roof to commemorate the traditional “topping out” or completion of the framing of the final house in this residential community. The topping out practice can be traced back to ancient times. A builder would place a tree on the top of the last building to appease the tree‐dwelling spirits of their ancestors. Today, the symbolism of placing an evergreen tree on the structure at roof stage suggests the promotion of growth to the community and good health and luck to all its residents. The community of
THE Canyon Ridge housing development in West Kelowna is nearing completion. CONTRIBUTED
Canyon Ridge in West Kelowna, which began several years ago, has grown into a vibrant neighbourhood for 250 residents, attracting both
local buyers and many others from across Canada. Of the 133 homes built, the final home, which is located on Lot 99, is an 1,850 square-foot
lake view rancher which was sold last weekend. Completion of this home and two other houses still up for sale is expected to be this summer.

Tips on how to pay off the mortgage faster With the current incredibly low interest rates, it’s even easier to put a huge dent in your mortgage. For example, consider someone that took out a $250,000 mortgage with a 35-year amortization at a previous higher rate of 3.99 per cent. Did you know that just $87 a month extra with each of your monthly mortgage payments could save you about $66,000 over the life of your mortgage? It’s not even as much as most Canadians spend on a cup of coffee each morning. Or perhaps you have reduced your mortgage balance to $175,000, and have renewed a few years ago at a higher interest rate of 4.75 per cent.
