Mapping an emergency W
hen it comes to an emergency response, timely information is critical. For Kelowna firefighter Brian Moore, the nagging question from the 2003 Okanagan Mountain Park Fire was why couldn’t all the information about what was happening in the area be included on one map. Eleven years later, thanks to his dogged persistence, his question has been answered. And he helped craft that answer. See story page A3
BRIAN MOORE, of the Kelowna Fire Department, was instrumental in getting a new mapping system that helps emergency responders see the big picture and get up and running with an organized and informed response.

Dedicated firefighter helps improve disaster response KELOWNA firefighter Brian More with one of the paper maps the department currently uses when responding to a call. The new MASAS map will appear on the computer screen in the cab of the firetruck with enhanced information for firefighters. ALISTAIR WATERS/CAPITAL NEWS
Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
A
t the height of the 2003 Okanagan Mountain Park forest fire that roared through Kelowna’s southern residential areas with a destructive force, firefighter Brian Moore sat in the emergency operations centre sorting through piles of paper maps thinking there had to be a better way. Moore, then the assistant to the deputy emergency co-ordinator for the region, could hear the three map plotters running, as they did 24-hours a day during the wildfire, spitting out new versions of maps containing the most up-to-date information firefighters and other emergency personnel needed to fight the flames. At the time, Moore, a Canadian Navy veteran well versed in warfare logistics,
thought if only there was a way to get all the information onto one map and have it constantly update. That would show emergency responders the big picture and allow them to tailor their response accordingly. “It was a battle and we needed the information,” says Moore, looking back at that critical time in the Central Okanagan’s history. He says while there were operational guidelines in place, they only went so far. The fire they were facing was not something the city’s fire department had ever seen or envisioned— a forest fire that entered the city. “I remember turning the page (of the guideline book) and there was nothing. That was the biggest sinking feeling I had the whole time. We were on our own.” The fire, fought not only by
the city’s fire department but with the assistance of firefighters and equipment from across B.C. and Canada, as well as the Canadian Armed Forces and provincial forest firefighting crews, was finally wrestled under control but not before it cut a swath of devastation through part of the Mission area of the city resulting in the loss of 235 homes and most of the historic Kettle Valley Rail trestles to the east in Myra Canyon. But for Moore, the question of how to find a better way to provide information to deal with such a catastrophe did not go away. Now, 11 years later, Moore has helped craft an answer. Teaming up with a software developer out of North Vancouver and using a mapping system already put in place by the federal government, the Multi-Agency Situa-

tional Awarness System (MASAS) has been created. The system gathers information from a wide variety of sources and includes it, in real time, on a map available over the Internet. Including information such as topographical data, fire, flood and earthquake reports, closed roads, planned events, utility issues and a host of other data, it paints a clearer picture of what is happening around a given emergency situation. According to Moore, now dispatch supervisor at the Kelowna Fire Department and deputy emergency plan co-ordinator, the information and ability to pull it up immediately and share it in real time is critical to an emergency response. It was a lesson learned from 2003, when a then peacetime record evacuation of 32,000 people had to be undertaken, and done quickly.
“The Kelowna wildfire was the largest disaster we had ever had to deal with,” says Moore. Eleven years ago, there was no way to share critical information among the firefighters, paramedics, pilots, police and Canadian Armed Forces personnel in a quick and effective manner. But MASAS changes that. The map system, originally created by the federal government, now includes software developed by FDM Software of North Vancouver that captures data that is already being uploaded by various agencies, companies and government departments to their own systems and plots it on the central map. The information is updated every few minutes. Kelowna, thanks to Moore’s involvement, is the first municipal fire department to have its information included, adding to the long list of
agencies across Canada that already provide information. MASAS is also connected to an American version of the system so information can be shared across the border. Emergency situations, like fires or floods, don’t know borders so it will help to know what is happening in a nearby jurisdiction, says Moore. Given that more than 75 per cent of fire departments in B.C. alone already use FDM software in their operations, it is expected that many more fire departments will sign on to be part of the Canadian mapping system. There is currently no cost to being part of MASAS, and the information is already being uploaded to local databases anyway, so there is little reason not to join, argues Moore.

West Kelowna firefighter takes issue with losing his job Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
A former West Kelowna fireman was let go from his job after getting a driving prohibition in a company vehicle, and now he’s looking for more than $150,000 in compensation. In a lawsuit filed earlier this month, Kerry Klonteig’s lawyer contends that on Oct. 9, 2013, the former assistant fire chief received a letter from the District of Kelowna that they were immediately terminating his employment due to the imposition of an administrative driving prohibition. No alternative disciplinary actions were offered. He was paid out vacation and overtime, but his wage was immediately cut off. He also lost long and short term disability insurance coverage, life insurance, out of country medical benefits, employer pension contribution and personal use of fire department vehicles. In the following three weeks, he lost extended healthcare, vision, dental and MSP.
It’s a loss that Klonteig is having difficulty suffering for a number of reasons. “Based on his qualifications, experience, age and the difficulty he will encounter in finding similar and alternate or alternative employment, a notice period of 18 months is appropriate,” writes his lawyer Terry McCaffrey in a notice of claim. “Since he was terminated by the district, Mr. Klonteig has sought other reasonably comparable positions without success. Mr. Klonteig therefore claims his job search expense and any relocation expenses he may incur as special damages. The plaintiff will prove his statement of special damages in advance of the trial.” The approximate total of damages is $152,372, plus performance bonus and benefits during the reasonable notice period for wrongful dismissal. Special damages in the amount to be determined at the trial. It’s unclear what the administrative driving prohibition was from. The district has declined an offer to comment on the matter.

Response from A3 Recently, he was successful in getting the City of Kelowna to allow its road closure information
to become part of the system, information that will help city fire crews when they respond to calls locally. The information was
already available to city fire crews, he says, but now it will be plotted on maps that can be called up in the cab of a fire truck on a computer screen on
the way to a fire. Moore is also working with utility companies, such as FortisBC, to get its information included in the system.

Given that the information is already public and available elsewhere on the web, he says there’s really no reason not to include it. The MASAS system, which has been in use since 2011 through an operational pilot program funded by the federal government, allows emergency managers and responders across the country to share situational information using their own application or basic web-based tools, according to Ed Colin of FDM. And the new system will save time. “Our challenge before the FDM-MASAS system was implemented was the time it took to relay real-time information to other first-responders and stakeholders in an emergency,” says Moore. “It typically took 15 to 90 minutes to activate the regional emergency operations centre and understand the magnitude of an incident.” Now, he says, all emergency managers have to do is “turn on the lights and fire up MASAS.” “Everyone now knows what everyone else is doing. It’s making a tremendous difference in our planning, response and recovery for planned and emergency incidents of all sizes,” he says. In any emergency, communication is critical. The regional district’s Bruce Smith has seen that first-hand. He was front and centre as the communications co-ordinator in 2003 and has had to act in the same role in more recent emergencies such as the Trepanier Fire and the Glenrosa fire. He remembers the stacks of paper maps that had to be produced 11 years ago in the EOC and the difficulty keeping on top of the all the information that was needed. “Information can change quickly and you have to stay on top of it.

2003 we could only be as good as our ability to get information out.” While he admits technology and Internet advancements have changed the landscape dramatically in the years since the Kelowna wildfire, when it comes to communication, the job remains the same—get complete and accurate information out as quickly as possible to all the people who need it. And that is where the MASAS system will help, say the experts. Moore gives an example of where it would have assisted during the Terrace Mountain fire, which ignited during the Glenrosa fire in 2011. He said firefighting resources were sent to one location after fire was spotted on a hillside in the distance. But if topographical information had been available right away, it would have shown the flames had a long way to go before reaching that spot because there was a valley on the other side of the mountain from where the firefighters were waiting. “Those resources could have been used elsewhere rather than waiting there,” he says. While the MASAS system is not the last word in information mapping advancements, it will help improve how emergency situations are tackled. And Moore’s nagging question from 2003 can be pointed to as a prime reason it exists today. “Brian Moore was absolutely driven to find a better way to share information during an emergency, and we at FDM were more than happy to do our part,” says Colin. “Brian and the Kelowna Fire Department deserve a big hand for obtaining funding for this project and spreading the word to the public safety community about the benefits of becoming part of this initiative.” awaters@kelownacapnews.com

site of the Lakeshore Inn, a premium location on Okanagan Lake in the South Pandosy area of Kelowna, the Lakeshore at Manteo will be an exclusive enclave of 18 villa-style homes. The contemporary two- and three-bedroom villas will feature waterfront views, marina access and a boat slip with every villa. Other amenities will include a private pool complete with hot tub surrounded by rich landscaping and a wide-open grass common, conversation areas and fire pit. While its own enclave, The Lakeshore fully integrates with the resort experience offered at Manteo, the popular lakefront resort opened in Kelowna 13 years ago. Lakeshore villa owners receive Manteo Resort privileges and access to the resort’s amenities which include three swimming pools, indoor and outdoor hot tubs, water slide and spray park, clubhouse, tennis court, putting green and fitness centre. Created in a Southwest architectural style, the villa-style homes range in size from 1,615 to 2,080 square-feet and come in various layouts such as three bed/three bath plus den with two-car garage, or a more intimate two bed/two bath with single car garage. Villas include dramatic 18-foot ceilings with wide planked brushed oak flooring and unobstructed lake views through strategically placed glass folding doors that will naturally extend living spaces to the outdoors onto balconies or patios. Occupancy of the first homes is anticipated in early spring of 2015.

Local conservation efforts should benefit from federal funding Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Prescribed burns for habitat restoration and to minimize wildlife conflict, and restoring wetlands and fish habitat where kokanee populations have plummeted are top conservation goals for the Lake Country Oceola Fish and Game Club. Conservation groups across the country will be sharpening their pencils to identify such priorities in the wake of a national announcement of $252 million for conservation and volunteer conservation groups made Thursday. “Any time there’s money getting put toward conservation, it is a good news story as far as I’m concerned,” said Jared Wilkison, Oceola Club president and BC Wildlife Federation director, not-
ing he’s aware the NDP Opposition is dismissing the announcement. The $252-million plan will span five years, with roughly $100 million going to the Nature Conservancy of Canada, which partners with local conservation groups to secure ecologically sensitive lands. It’s basically the same funding allotment as the National Conservation Program funds spanning the previous five years which just ended, according to Okanagan Collaborative Conservation Program coordinator Carol Luttmer. The funds helped secure conservation areas like the Skaha Bluffs, Twin Lakes, and the Sage and Sparrows Grasslands in the South Okanagan. This round of funding includes $37 million
to strengthen marine and coastal conservation efforts, $3.2 million to develop a national inventory of conserved areas and $50 million to restore wetlands—a huge issue in the Okanagan. “The Okanagan region contains some of the most endangered ecosystems in Canada,” Luttmer said. The Okanagan collaborative effort is spearheading a biodiversity inventory with maps, tools and recommended actions to ensure science-based priorities are set for habitat restoration and conservation throughout the Okanagan. On the ground, that might mean figuring out where initiatives to sort out the Wood Lake kokanee crash would stack up against controlled burns intended to help re-
store habitat and remedy animal problems, like urban deer. Wood Lake, according to Wilkison, is a complicated situation affected by stream flows, water temperature, nitrogen levels and algae, whereas the urban deer plaguing the Central Okanagan, he suspects, may be struggling with degradation of the back country in a province that has actively extinguished necessary natural wildfires for decades. “One great success story out of the Okanagan Mountain Park Fire was that we’ve restored a whole bunch of really great grasslands and brought back the native big horn sheep,” said Wilkison. Thursday’s announcement was short on specifics, prompting NDP environment critic Megan
Leslie to accuse the government of posturing in several media reports. “We don’t have the

Traffic disruption warning at KGH Kelowna General Hospital wants to advise the public that Rose Avenue will be closed for three weeks in May and early June. The closure is necessary to support construction activity on the Interior Heart and Surgical Centre. Rose Avenue from the east parkade to Pandosy St. will be closed from May 12 to June 2. Portions of the Rose Avenue surface parking lot will also be closed. The closures will not impact access to the parkades at KGH. In order to access the KGH parkades from Pandosy Street, visitors are asked to detour down Royal or Christleton onto Abbott Street and enter the KGH site from the west end of Rose Avenue. These closures are necessary to install and connect utilities to the new Interior Heart and Surgical Centre, currently under construction at the corner of Pandosy and Rose. The construction company, PCL Constructors, will have flag people on hand for the duration of the work, and detour signs will clearly indicate the new traffic patterns.

Enjoy it while you can asa I’d bet that once the under-W pass is completed and the de-v tour is dismantled, the bill-n boards will probably be re-w placed. Related: I harbour a hope that the obstruction of the (potentially) excellent view seen by the in-patients of the new WFN healthcare facility might prompt a complaint by those patients and visitors and that this might prompt reconsideration of the rental of that space for mere billboards. It might not be earning anyone any money but the view is actually priceless. Some constructive public relations on the part of WFN,

Alumni Awards go to truly inspiring people
I
’ve always admired people who give back; especially those who, no matter how busy they are, find the time to make a difference. This is why I’m always so interested in the annual recipients of the Okanagan College Alumni awards. The association has two awards: One is the Distinguished Alumni Award, which honours someone who demonstrates excellence in leadership, the environment, business or industry, public and community service, the arts and may have provided support to Okanagan College. The other award is a Young Alumni Award, which is for a recent graduate
under the age of 35 who has had a successful start in their career and/or is positively contributing to their community. This year’s awards also mark the 50th anJane niversary of Okanagan Muskens College and the Alumni Association and is why the association is celebrating 50 years of alumni excellence at a special event on June 12 at the Kelowna campus. After 20 years of working at Okanagan College, I know our graduates end up all over the world, many doing some amazing things so it can’t be easy deciding who gets these awards, especially for the 50th anniversary. This year’s recipients showcase a very distinguished alumna, Lane
SCHOOL’S IN
Shupe, who graduated from Okanagan College’s Certified Dental Assistant program in 1982. That’s 33 years ago and she is still active with the program regularly sponsoring and attending their graduate tea. But Lane’s commitment to the community is much larger than her promotion of the program. Here is a women who, since 1980, has been involved in the United Way, the BC Children’s Hospital, the Okanagan Symphony, the Kelowna Art Gallery, the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce, the Central Okanagan Heritage Society, Kelowna General Hospital Foundation, the B.C. Cancer Foundation plus much more. She is clearly someone who is dedicated in helping her community. The recipient of the Young Alumni Award is Donnie Ungaro. Donnie graduated from OUC’s Bachelor of
Business Administration degree in 2003. What is really interesting about Donnie is how much of his work is focused on young people. Kelowna is a city that doesn’t have a problem attracting seniors but falls short when it comes to retaining young people. Although this has changed in the last 10 years, much work still needs to be done and Donnie, who works for the Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission, is tasked with making M this happen. Since he assumed this role he has created and launched a number of initiatives under the Okanagan Young Professionals (OYP) Collective. These include timeDRIVE (services for non-profits), motionball (fund raising

Farm tours on-going in Okanagan Valley To the editor: With regards to the cover page of the Kelowna Capital News, dated May 9, 2014: The Great Okanagan Farm Tour and the page A5 headline: Absense of Working Farm Tour Impacts Local Tourism. There has never been an absence of working farm tours and to say this is a gross misrepresentation of the truth, as I am sure the 34 wineries in Kelowna, along with Arlo’s Honey, Carmelis Goat Cheese Artisan, McMillan’s Pumkin Patch and the Lavender Farm to name a few, will surely agree. The East Kelowna Cider Co. (one of the founders of the Cidery/Fruit Wine LandBased Licence) has been offering interactive farm tours since 2009 and has been in the cider business since 1995.
This article is giving the wrong impression to the reader. The pioneering agritourism operations in Kelowna were Gatzke’s Orchards, Davison Orchards and Apple Berry Farms. They went to a farm-direct marketing conference in Portland in 1993—this was the beginning of agritourism in Kelowna. KLO began their farm tour operation a couple of years later. Basing the decline of travelling tour groups spending the night in Kelowna on just one agritourism business closing its doors is inaccurate. Large bus lines periodically change the layover city every couple of years to ensure repeat business. Also, our economy is just now beginning to thrive once more. The Economic Development Commission and the Kelowna Capital
News reporter have failed to portray the entire agritourism industry, if they had they would find no absence; only a small group gaining more members every year. The Kelowna Farm to Table Tour Guide began in 2010. Its purpose is to increase tourism in Kelowna by bringing the clients to the businesses. To date there are 18 farms, 25 wineries and nine restaurants involved in the program. Agritourism welcomes new businesses to the industry—as we grow in number we grow in strength. But let’s not forget the ones who have been hard at work turning Kelowna back into a destination stop. Theressa Ross, Kelowna
▼ QUEENSWAY
Not loving highrise near downtown’s waterfront To the editor: Re: Why I oppose any proposed highrise in downtown Kelowna. (Hotel Proposal Gets Initial Nod from Council, May 13 Capital News.) Innsbruck, Austria is known for its history and magnificent scenery. What is, perhaps, less obvious, is the wisdom of numerous city councils who have contributed to
the city’s popularity by creating a pedestrian (and public transit) only downtown. Furthermore, all building renovations, as well as new constructions in the core of the city are limited to the same height as the adjoining, often several hundred year-old heritage buildings. In Innsbruck, and in many other European
tourist destinations, highrises are delegated to the periphery, thus instilling a sense of stability and good governance in the unsuspecting visitors who mostly roam the downtowns. Why then does Kelowna city council wish to reinvent the wheel and diverge from a concept which has been largely successful in countless
European tourist destinations? Granted, the additional income from the numerous permits, fees and taxes for such mega projects, is a welcome relief to the city’s taxpayers, thus, possibly, holding their property taxes to a minimum increase, but once the quaint city image has been altered, if not destroyed, we cannot return.
Even the current highrises, which may appear offensive to a picturesque city concept, are still only half as tall, as the newest proposed oddity. Therefore, I urge the Kelowna city council to put a long-term vision ahead of immediate financial gains. Sylvia Schoepf, West Kelowna

Some give-back might Miscellaneous thoughts ease billboard ugliness Billboards from A10
the owner of the signs, and the businesses that rent the space (eg. contributing some of their revenue to a charity) would go a long 1 way toward mitigating the bad feelings that the population has as a result of the ridiculous eyesore that these billboards present. It is embarrassing to have
to explain to visitors, tourists, etc., that they have more regard for earning money than to that which brought the tourists here (to spend their money and thereby support one of our very important industries—tourism). Bill Stinson, West Kelowna
To the editor: Some random thoughts for readers to ponder: Ever notice on your natural gas bill that there is a carbon tax and a “clean energy levy” which is applied to both the gas used and the amount Fortis charges to deliver the gas? Another hidden ‘Christy tax.’ Why is the city leasing or giving (depends on which news you believe)

Make time to be inspired by others who give back Muskens from A10 for Special Olympics), TEDxKelowna, Appetite for Art (fundraising for the Art Gallery), Growing Chefs, Okanagan Start up Week, Faculty Connection Club (networking), and more.

the land beside the library to build a six-storey office tower that will block off the view out the library window? Surely it could be sold for a very good price. Where are people going to park after the Accelerate Okanagan, Interior Health, Kelowna Yacht Club and Cactus Club are finished? Why is KLO Road still dug up after six months of disruption? The
developer of those lots will have to charge a lot to make up for the inefficient work on the street. Why can’t Kelowna traffic people ever fix the screwed up light at Benvoulin and Byrns? Does Colin Basran ever drive around this city? Is he aware of all the efforts made to slow and delay traffic, resulting in much more pollution? Bruce Stevenson, Kelowna

Is it dementia or normal aging? Have you, or a loved one, living in the Central Okanagan had moments when you just saw a movie but cannot remember the title or main character? Are words on the tip of your tongue, but you just cannot think of them? Are you concerned that your memory is not as quick as it used to be? It can be difficult to distinguish the early stages of various dementias from the normal ag-
ing process, especially because the first symptoms of dementia appear very gradually. Often the early signs are undetectable by the person who is experiencing them and it isn’t uncommon to just make light of initial losses of memory or shorter attention spans because the problems do not interfere with daily activities. In order to help with these forgetful moments

or difficulties with concentration it is quite common for people to use various strategies to aid their memories, such as posting notes to themselves around the house. These may be signs of early dementia or mild Alzheimer’s disease and should not be ignored. Early diagnosis can prolong independence and is the first step towards receiving treatment to delay symptom onset, improved management, and living a full life. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia. It accounts for 64 per cent of all dementias in Canada and causes a gradual onset of memory loss that affects the person’s ability to function on a day-to-day basis, and unfortunately, a continuing health decline. Research has shown that people in the earliest or mild stage of Alzheimer’s tend to preserve their oldest memories fairly well, but start to frequently forget things that they learned more recently. As the population ages, physicians and scientists know that the number of people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s will grow, so rigorous research is ongoing, particularly at

If you or a loved one, have concerns with your memory, or may have already been diagnosed with mild Alzheimer’s disease, you may be interested to learn that the Okanagan based Medical Arts Research Group currently has a few opening in Kelowna for a clinical research study on Alzheimers. For more than 12 years, in cooperation with physicians and medical specialists, The Medical Arts Health Research Group has been conducting clinical research into a wide variety of health issues and diseases in the Thompson and Okanagan regions. This time they have partnered with Kelowna physicians, Dr. Robert Williams and Dr. Dianne Graham in clinical research studies that will determine the benefits and safety of treatment medications for people with mild Alzheimer’s disease. The doctors know that clinical trials are essential for therapeutic breakthroughs and have made limited space available for eligible volunteers in the Central Okanagan to participate in these important studies. As in all medical trials, eligible participants will receive comprehensive study-related medical care, monitoring and study medication at no cost while participating. Additionally, you will be compensated for your travel to study appointments. You do not have to be a patient of either of these doctors to be eligible to participate. To find out if you qualify or for further information, please call The Medical Arts Research Group at 1-888-490-4320, e-mail alzheimers@healthresearch.ca, or visit the website www.healthresearch. ca.

FUNDRAISER
On Saturday, May 31, 7 p.m., at the Luxury Lakeside Estate in the Carr’s Landing community of Lake Country, Opera Kelowna will hold its annual fashion fundraising event, this year entitled “Rococo Sun + Snow.” This fashion show fundraiser is to benefit our International Student Summer Opera Program, part of Opera Kelowna’s Young Artist Vocal Education Programs, which focus on providing guidance and training for promising young artists who are preparing to pursue a vocal career or careers in piano accompaniment and vocal coaching through university and/or conservatory enrolment. This program allows about 14 classically trained singers to travel from various parts of North America to the Okanagan to receive the highest form of training, transitioning them from an academic to a professional level of singing. Students will receive training in movement, staging, private vocal lessons, diction, master classes and coaching with world-class Scottish conductor Bernard McDonald, culminating in a public concert. In addition, fundraiser proceeds will go to the mainstage production of Mozart Great Beginnings, the openings of three great operas by W.A. Mozart—Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute), Così Fan Tutte (They’re all like that) and Le Nozze Di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro), on June 13 featuring conductor Giuseppe Pietraroia, conductor in Residence for both Pacific Opera Victoria (POV) and the Victoria Symphony.
Mozart mined the riches of great literature and fairy tales to create comic masterworks with great appeal for everyone. This performance is an excellent introduction to the world of opera. With the help of local businesses and the Central Okanagan Foundation, Opera Kelowna is able to offer a special 45-minute matinee performance fully costumed and with orchestra for seniors and students for special ticket price of $9. The full production, which runs 90 minutes, is an evening performance. The fashion show will celebrate local boutiques, artists and costumers. Sold out last year, this year’s show will feature stylists who will use the apparel of existing and emerging designers and fashions from various local boutiques to create each unique runway look celebrating sun and snow elements with a splash of Rococo. As our guests arrive either by limo, car, boat, or float plane, 50th Parallel Estate Winery will be pouring in the main house and Okanagan Spirits will provide their unique version of our season’s signature drink, “The Elixir of Love.” The evening will begin with a short concert featuring some of Opera Kelowna’s resident artists, special musical guests like cellist Nicholas Denton and singers from the resident and young artists programs including Candesca and Cantato, followed by a fashion show produced by James Blonde of Revolution Events, fire and circus performers on the beach courtesy of Cosmic Co-Motion, and a DJ After-Party by the boat house. Chef, Roger Planiden,
Entertainment IN THE LOOP with Culinary Adventure, will be catering and professional chocolatier, Tanya Peters, of the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, will provide designer chocolate treats. Other event sponsors include Springfield Funeral Homes, Impact Kelowna, artist Charla Maarschalk, décor sponsor Artistic Designs by Colleen and Harmony Acura Tickets are available: online at www.operakelowna.com and www. eventbright.com, by phone at 250-575-1434 or in person at either 50th Parallel Estate Winery 17101 Terrace View Rd. in Lake Country (250766-3408) or Faces Cosmetics & European Day Spa , 2271 Harvey Ave. in Kelowna ( -250-8694114).
CONCERT
The rock band Swollen Members will perform at Sapphire Nightlcub in Kelowna on June 8 Since regrouping in 2009 after a four-year hiatus, Swollen Members have been creatively revitalized, and their profile in the hip-hop scene has skyrocketed. The group’s independent grind is unrelenting as they have released three full length studio albums, a greatest hits collection, and followed up their critically acclaimed Monsters In The Closet album with a sequel.
CONCERT
Coming to Kelowna June 16 at Fernando’s, Constantines frontman, Bry Webb is on tour across Canada this summer to promote his second full-length solo album, Free Will. As well, Webb returns to the stage for the highly-anticipated reunion of the Constantines in celebration of the 11th anniversary of their seminal album Shine A Light. Webb wrote many of the songs on Free Will for his son, Asa, who was two when the album was being made. It is a record about will and responsibility, love and desire, art and work.
CONCERT
Kelowna members of the B.C. Registered Music Teachers Association will present their own students in concert Sunday, June 1, 2 p.m., at the Okanagan College auditorium. This is the inaugural year of the BCRMTA hosting this unique concert showcase. The idea is the brainchild of Claudia Kargl, co-president of the local Kelowna BCRMTA, who would like to provide a unique arts fusion opportunity for multi-talented students, who have a knack for performing on stage and entertaining an audience. Instead of featuring an all classical repertoire
program, emphasis will be placed on branching out to include jazz, rag, lively and funky contemporary hits, favourite pop TV and movie tunes and even beloved traditional folk songs. Cake and juice will be served. For more information, email mmstudio@ shaw.ca =or call 250-8604206.
THEATRE
One of the most popular musicals to come out of the American theatre scene in the last half century, “The Music Man” will march into the Kelowna Actors Studio for performances from May 21 to June 7. The Music Man debuted in 1957 with a story line and music as vibrant and popular today as they were to audiences back in the 1950s . “The show is a delight for the entire family,” said Randy Leslie, artistic managing director of Kelowna Actors Studio. “Our cast of more than 45 actors, singers and dancers captures the innocence of early 20th century mid-America, and generates energy, enthusiasm and talent.”
CYCLING TOUR
Kelowna Olympian Kelsey Serwa and other Okanagan winemakers will join the “Ride with a Winemaker” Cycling Tour of the South Okanagan May 23 and 24, based out of Black Hills Estate Winery. Serwa, the ski-cross silver medallist at the Sochi Olympics has joined on as both a rider and cohost of the weekend, herself being an avid cyclist in the region. Winemakers Matt Holmes, from Liquidity, and Amber Jones, with C.C. Jentsch Cellars, have signed up for the ride and
the weekend festivities. “Having Matt and Amber come along as both great cyclists and great winemakers adds another element of fun to the Winemakers Ride” said Graham Pierce, winemaker for Black Hills Estate Winery. “We are thrilled to be having them joining Kelsey, myself and several others for this beautiful ride of the Okanagan” For the diehard cyclists, the winemaker ride will have a cycling tour route that replicates some of the more challenging aspects of the GranFondo ride, a great tune-up for those considering riding in the GranFondo in July. For those wishing something more leisurely, look for two other less intense ride options. The two-day schedule of events surrounding the cycling aspect include a BBQ dinner at the Black Hills Estate Winery, 7 pm., Friday, May 23; BBQ lunch and postride celebration, 1 to 3 p.m., at the Black Hills owners’ private residence, The Wine Lodge. To register or for further information, contact Graham Pierce at graham@blackhillswinery. com. Tickets can be ordered at 250-762-7167.
MUSIC
The Red Bull Tour Bus will be making a stop in Kelowna to host a concert by the band Yukon Blonde on May 19, 3 p.m., at City Park. The first of its kind in Canada, the Red Bull Tour Bus transforms into a complete sound stage. The bus itself is comprised of three separate parts; 1967 GM Transit bus (front end), 1974 Silver Eagle (rear three-quarters of the bus), and sits on a modern 2012
Freightliner Chassis. Taking nine months to build, the bus morphs into a concert stage fully equipped with a 120,000 watt concert grade sound system. To create the stage, the side of the bus was modified with a hydraulic life system to raise the roof 35 feet above the ground and extend a stage floor 17 feet wide by 15.5 feet deep. It also features a fully equipped green room in the back for bands to chill, two 37-inch flat screens, hardwood floors and LED back lighting. In as little as 25 minutes, the bus flips from 45-foot long road warrior to a full on rock arena.
CONCERT
A concert featuring the hit songs of Whitney Houston called The Greatest Love Of All will take place May 19 at the Kelowna Community Theatre. The show, starring singer Belinda Davids, is a tribute to Houston, featuring many of the songs from her musical catalogue that spanned 29 years before her tragic death in 2012. To stage this show, promoter Showtime Management dedicated over 12 months to perfecting this production and finding the right star. After conducting over 15,000 auditions in 12 countries, Davids, an accomplished South African vocalist, was selected to pay reverence to Houston. Davids’ ethereal voice and long music career as a solo recording artist and as a support act and backing vocalist includes working with The Temptations, Keri Hilson, Keyshia Cole, Monica and Johnny Gill.

And although director Gareth Edwards does not have the film experience much of his cast has (especially Godzilla, who has had over 50 years ex-
perience in the movie industry), he did direct a brilliant little sci-fi gem called Monsters a few years back. I recommend checking it out as after watching it, I was surprised it was made for a paltry $500,000. In comparison, this new Godzilla had a budget of $160 million. And speaking of millions, Disney is coming out with Million Dollar Arm, hoping for another based-on-a-true-story in-

spirational sports movie hit like their previous successes with Miracle, Cool Runnings and Remember the Titans. Jon Hamm (Mad Men) stars as an American sports agent who goes to India to find cricket players who could become baseball pitchers through a reality show called Million Dollar Arm. The two winners (out of 40,000 hopefuls) are brought back to the United States to train and hopefully signed to a major league team. However, the two are not only challenged by learning the finer points of baseball, but also the differences in culture. Also starring is Bill Paxton, Alan Arkin, Lake Bell and Indian actors Madhur Mittal (Slumdog Millionaire) and Suraj Sharma (Life of Pi) as the young hopefuls. The Paramount The-
atre is opening what looks like an intriguing and intense revenge thriller called Blue Ruin about a mysterious outsider whose quiet life is turned upside down when he returns to his childhood home to carry out an act of vengeance. Proving himself an amateur assassin, he winds up in a brutal fight to protect his estranged family. Blue Ruin has been a favourite at a large number of film festivals over the past year and like the previously mentioned Monsters, I expect it will be another example of the fantastic work young independent filmmakers can do with a small budget.

At the YMCA of Okanagan, we believe that all children deserve the chance to grow stronger and more confident in order to realize their full potential. The YMCA has tailored its programs and services to address health challenges of today’s kids and families living in the Okanagan. It is well known that 1 in 4 Canadian kids are overweight or obese and that 63% of them spend their free time sedentary, often in isolation on electronic devices. That statistical information isn’t “seriously fun” is it? Well, at the YMCA we’re determined to help families grow healthier and stronger together by providing safe, welcoming and hopeful places that are nurturing and fun.
In partnership with
For busy families like the Linds, the Kelowna Family Y is a place to escape from daily routines and obligations. “It’s easy to spend time together at the Y,” says Bryann Lind. “Sometimes we are there for hours, and the kids don’t want to leave.” On a common evening, Bryann and Jason can be found walking the track or on a treadmill overlooking the gym so they can watch their two boys, Nickolas and Jet, in karate while their daughter, Tristan, swims. After karate the boys like to attend Junior Leaders where they mentor younger kids and plan activities. Bryann also participates in YMCA Aquafit classes, and both her and Jason plan to take advantage of lunch-hour badminton as an activity they can do together each week. Another way the Y helps promote an active healthy lifestyle is
through YMCA Healthy Kids Day. On Sunday June 1 from 12–4pm, the Y invites all kids and families to take part in this FREE community event held both inside and outside the Kelowna Family YMCA. With a combination of over 40 heart pumping activity stations, healthy snacks, and valuable resources centered around healthy play, healthy eating and healthy balance, parents and kids can have a “seriously fun” time together learning healthy habits that can last a lifetime.

On Sunday, TOFC played to a 0-0 deadlock with Fusion (Vancouver-Richmond). Carl Vandekraats (Kelowna) captured the clean sheet. In U17/18 boys action, TOFC lost 4-0 Fraser Valley on Saturday, then dropped a close 1-0 contest to Fusion on Sunday. In the second game, at t26minutes, centre-mid Matt Fielding made a strong run up the middle of the pitch and broke into the box, but was pushed from behind and fell to the turf just yards in front of the Fusion net. A minute later, Fusion was awarded a penalty kick on a questionable infraction in the TOFC box. The half ended 1-0 for the visitors. At seventy minutes, TOFC was awarded a free kick right on the eighteen. West Kelowna winger Walker Shanks bent the ball around the wall, but the fusion keeper just managed to punch the ball wide. In U13 action, TOFC downed Fraser Valley 4-1 on Saturday. Karlen Speiser, Jagger Thomas, Edvin Holok and Gregor Smith took care of the scoring. On Sunday, the TOFC boys tied Fusion 1-1. At the 20 minute mark Nate Portz made a strong run down the right side of the field and crossed the ball into the goal area where Adrian Delgado made a foot first slide to put the ball in the back of the net. Fusion answered with a deflected goal in the second half to finish the game with a 1-1 draw.

urgery is a powerful tool in the modern medical tool kit and used today in a wide range of applications. Surgery for musculoskeletal conditions is called orthopedic surgery, a procedure used to treat musculoskeletal trauma, degenerative diseases, sports injuries, infections, tumours, and congenital disorders (disorders we are born with). This includes surgeries such as hip or knee replacement, spinal surgery or fusion, carpal tunnel release, or repair of tendons, ligaments, or cartilage. However, there are many other surgeries that are performed for a variety of reasons, such as to help relieve or prevent pain, to reduce a symptom, to improve some body function, or to diagnose conditions. With surgery comes
NEEDLE NOTES
James Kaufman certain post-operative side effects and risks. Some of the major concerns with surgery is dealing with post-surgery pain and the side effects of pain medications, as well as making a complete recovery from surgery and regaining our former mobility and functions. Doctors rely on powerful medications to relieve pain during and immediately after surgery, including opioids and anesthesia. Opioid pain medications can cause side effects such as nausea,
vomiting, dizziness, pruritis (itch or a sensation that makes a person want to scratch), constipation, and sleepiness, symptoms which can cause difficulty in the recovery and interfere with our day-today life. Use of opioids and their side effects may also delay post-operative recovery. Acupuncture is an excellent option for post-operative recovery and has been shown to be very effective in the treatment of both post-operative pain and the side effects of opioid medications. Acupuncture is probably best known for the treatment of pain and it is indeed very effective for relieving pain and reducing the need for pain medications. Pain limits your ability to breathe deep-
ly, cough, walk and perform the activities necessary for a speedy recovery, and acupuncture can help to manage the pain so that recovery can happen more quickly. Acupuncture can also treat the side effects of pain medications including dizziness, upset stomach or nausea, loss of appetite, pruritis, urinary incontinence, and digestive problems, making it an effective option for post-operative recovery. Acupuncture can also help with the body’s recovery following surgery. While surgical techniques have come a long way, surgery still remains a type of trauma that the body must recover and heal from afterwards. Acupuncture helps to boost the immune system and to restore proper functioning to the body, and in post-operative care

can help the body to recover and regain health more quickly. Acupuncture can also help with inflammation, decrease swelling and improve mobility and range of motion after surgery. This is important to recovery in order for a person to regain their full abilities and have full use of the body in the months down the road from surgery. Acupuncture may also help reduce adhesion formation and reduce scarring and scar tissue as the body heals from surgery. Research shows that acupuncture can indeed be very effective for post-operative recovery when surgery is followed by a series of acupuncture treatments, and it can also be beneficial to perform acupuncture a day or two before surgery. This ensures that the body is in a healthy state going into surgery in order to ensure a complete and healthy recovery!

Friendships are what influence the quality of our lives
L
ast week I celebrated my 59th birthday so during a pensive time I decided to write down the fnames of 59 people who held significant influence tin my life. Though not always, in most cases the influences nwere positive. Many had been involved in my life for a long time; in some cases ,the relationship was brief -but profound. Naturally, my list confsisted of several family members and relatives— -even all four of my wives. / Ironically, three names on that list manifested for visits the past few days, reminding me that sometimes we forget to live in the moment and often (way too often) fail to tell others how special they really are. Two of them are long-time buddies and the third relatively new but hugely significant. Ralph Krehbiel and I go back to high school days at KSS. Cooking class to be precise, although cooking was hardly the draw. I had to fill an elective slot in my school semester I decided cooking was not a bad idea. Ralph just liked food. The bonus was Miss Atkinson. Oh yeah. Miss Atkinson was fresh out of university and while I am sure she was an amazing teacher, she was also simply amazing—at least in the eyes of a Grade 11 bad boy. Poor Miss Atkinson inherited an all-male class of 20 or so similar aged drooling lads— few of whom could care a baker’s measure about culinary expertise. However, attendance records for her class were likely impressive. Regardless, cooking brought us together and ironically cooking is partially why we will likely be seeing each other a little bit more in the future. Ralph is now a tremendous hobby chef and is compiling a recipe book of sorts, with which
HODGE PODGE
Charlie Hodge I may assist. Laughing, sharing stories and memories, and talking about future goals reminded me of what a huge influence Ralph was for me. Not only did he steer me into martial arts, but we also became very close friends who helped each other through some tough times. Neither of us actually believed we would see age 50. After meeting Ralph, I found myself telephoning another blast from the past—well known former Kelowna photographer, newspaper editor and ink-stained wretch Rainer ‘Ziggy’ Ziegenhagen. I needed some personal advice and knew if I really wanted an honest, no BS, answer to a couple of tough questions, few were better advisors than Zig. Like Ralph, Ziggy sort of inherited me. I came with the job. Actually, we first met while toiling as writer-photographers for opposition local newspapers, and despite the competitiveness of our worlds, we got along well. Within a year or two we were working togeth-
er. He eventually became the editor. Over the years we were co-workers and also roommates. We shared a similar passion for music, strategy board games, lengthy engaging debates, and just good ole plain fun. Ziggy has always had an amazing ability to see things that many others do not. He sees through things that many folks only see around, if at all. Quick wit, a lust for life and laughter, and a stickler for detail, not much gets by Zig unless he wants it that way. Some 20 years ago Ziggy disappeared from the greater part of the universe. When a newspaper office he was working for in outer B.C. was blown up (literally), he simply decided he’d had enough of the public spotlight and pulled a Houdini. I never talked to him and had no idea where he had gone, until a few months ago. As brief a time as we’ve enjoyed reconnecting, Zig is clearly as astute as always— his gregarious laugh and quick wit well in hand. True to form when I asked him for his thoughts, he shared them openly and with the exact sort of clarity which I sought from him. Thank goodness, some things never do change. I am still not sure exactly where Mr. Z lives nowadays, but certain-
ly he still resides within a friendly neighbourhood in my heart. Last, but not least was a lunch with Graeme James. A more unlikely couple of friends the world has rarely seen. Graeme and I were total strangers when we were sworn on to Kelowna city council five years ago. I knew nothing about the man when Mayor Sharon Shepherd plunked me next to him at the council table. All I knew was when he sat forward in his chair his massive frame blocked me from the site line of the mayor. I felt safe there, like in high school knowing that I was hidden from the teacher behind the big kid in front of me. Over the next three years, while the two of us argued about just about everything we did come to a mutual respect and like for each other. We wound up car-pooling to about 85 per cent of all council meetings and other outings—and most of the time we debated all the way. Graeme was never rude, insulting, or unfair in his thoughts and comments with me. I watched him closely around others and in all kinds of situation, and marvelled at his ability to stay focused to the issue and to do his best to decide the right answer in the big picture.
It quickly dawned on me that when it came to Kelowna and to people— Graeme James gave his very best. Graeme has been the perfect reminder that while we may not all be built the same way or carry the same pedigrees
and histories, that regardless of politics, religion or any other factor, nothing can truly stop people from working together except people themselves. When it comes to life and choices, Graeme and I decided to set
aside our obvious differences, pursue our common denominators and be friends. A win-win all around. My birthday list of friends is not long, nor is it complete, but it certainly is precious.

Mistakes in managing ADHD
A
lthough a diagnosis of attention deficit disorder puts an end to questions about frustrating symptoms and experiences, it does not mean life instantly gets easier. It’s really just the beginning of the lifelong work of living well while managing this condition. Today, I am going to focus on a few of the common mistakes people make when managing ADHD. A first and major hurdle is accepting the diagnosis, that they have ADHD. There are also a lot of misconceptions floating around about what the disorder is and what it isn’t. For this reason, it’s important to receive your medical opintrunk sale shoppers ion from a profession-

and thankfully this is easier than ever with smartphones today. One of the most important pitfalls to avoid when living with ADHD is to listen too much to ignorant people. Unfortunately, many misconceptions exist about ADHD and there are those who will share their ill-informed opinions and advice. Listen to the professionals. Finally, life is hard. With ADHD there are some specific challenges to cope with on top of the everyday struggles we all face. Don’t assume that having a good strategy will make everything perfect. So far, no one has cornered the market on making a perfect life.

Brain injury conference to offer insights about rehabilitation BrainTrust Canada is will host its 21st annual brain injury conference June 12 and 13 at the UBCO campus, the Pushor Mitchell Okanagan Conference on Brain Injury. The conference will be an interactive learning experience for professionals, caregivers and individuals living with brain injury, and will be of particular interest to people working in clinical, legal or academic settings such as physicians, lawyers, rehabilitation practitioners, educators and counsellors. This year’s conference theme is Living Well: The Importance of Community Rehabilitation After Brain Injury and includes a variety of guest speakers including local writer and professional speaker Fred Sarkari who will share his personal story of brain injury; Dr. Carolyn Lemsky, with the Community Head Injury Resource Centre in Toronto, on the topic
of substance abuse after brain injury; Dr. Max Cynader, director of the Brain Research Centre in Vancouver, on the topic of enhancing the plasticity of the brain which refers to the brain’s ability to rewire and create new pathways for learning; Dr. Grace Hopp, psychologist from Port Coquitlam, on the topic of psychological and cognitive functioning post-injury; and Dr. Ronald Manley, psychologist from Vancouver, on the topic of trauma informed care. “Brain injury is an unheralded epidemic in our society,” says Cynader. “We need new approaches to protect the brain from trauma and to enhance its recovery following injury.” The conference is open to the public.

Lake Superior shoreline– lighthouses, walking trails Karen Samelson CONTRIBUTOR
You don’t have to be a voyageur in a birch-bark canoe to land on Minnesota’s North Shore. If you’re working your way north from Wisconsin toward Canada on a Lake Superior circle tour, heading to the Boundary Waters or Isle Royale, or just looking to relax on a great stretch of a great lake, the North Shore offers plenty of outdoor activities and historical sites. For adventurers looking to rough it and explore the outdoors, the 150-mile drive from Duluth to the Canadian border goes past numerous state parks with campgrounds and hiking trails, as well as places to go biking or boating. For tourists looking to take it easy, the North Shore has B&Bs, cabins, resorts and even a casino, as well as lighthouses to tour and art studios and other shops to poke around in. And no one will get stuck with dry rations— fresh fish and berry pie are among the local specialties. After making the sixhour drive from Milwaukee via I-90/94 and U.S. 53, travelers pick up the North Shore Scenic Drive in the port city of Duluth.
Highway 61 stays close to the shore, though not always within sight of it, up to Grand Portage as it heads northeast, following the rocky spine along Lake Superior that is a remnant of ancient volcanic activity. One of the first towns is Two Harbors, home to a major ore dock and a lighthouse. It’s also a great place to stop for pie. Betty’s Pies on Highway 61 also serves meals and has a special takeout counter and picnic tables outside. I opted for the decadent five-layer raspberry pie, which included meringue, chocolate, raspberry cream and chocolate cream. My boyfriend, Rick, had a luscious slice of berry pie. Gooseberry Falls State Park is the first state park that drivers pass heading north. It’s a popular park with several waterfalls and a sought-after campground that’s often used as a base for biking on the North Shore. More than 30 miles have been paved so far on the Gitchi-Gami State Trail, with the longest of the five segments running 15 miles from the park to Beaver Bay. Some stretches run along the highway, while others go into state parks. One spur leads to Split

at night. After the highway opened in 1924, the keepers also had tourists to escort. By 1939, the Coast Guard called it “probably the most visited lighthouse in the United States.” Today, visitors can talk with costumed guides while touring the keeper’s residence, the foghorn building and the lighthouse. A climb up a narrow spiral staircase offers a great view. For visitors wanting a photo op of the lighthouse itself, a birch-lined gravel path—or stairs if you’re energetic—lead down to the rocky shoreline. Tettegouche State Park, north of Silver Bay, is the next park up the shore. Besides regular campsites, it has 13 cartin sites, which are a fiveto 10-minute walk on the lake side of the highway. The sites are nicely wooded, but campers may hear highway noise. The carts make it easy to carry gear, but note that water is available only in the main campground. (North Shore state park campgrounds fill up fast; by early April, reservable sites were basically taken for the weekends in August.) Tettegouche has a variety of hiking trails. We walked out to Shovel Point, where rock climbers were rappelling on a 70-foot cliff going straight down to Lake Superior. We also hiked up to the 60-foot High Falls, where vacationers were cooling off in the water below the highest falls that are completely in Minnesota. That path briefly followed the Superior HikRing Trail, which runs 296 miles from Jay Cooke State Park south of Duluth to the Canadian border, mostly following the rocky ridgeline above Lake Superior. It has trailhead parking lots every five to 10 miles for day hikers, and backcountry 3campsites for backpackers. Next comes Father Baraga’s Cross, which honors a Slovenian priest who got caught in a storm in his canoe in 1846while crossing from the Apostle Islands. He landed safely near presentday Schroeder and erected a wooden cross to thank God. Now there’s a granite cross in his honor. Father Frederic Baraga also ministered to the Chippewa and settlers in Wisconsin. Near Lutsen, drivers can catch a glimpse of the ski runs and a popular golf course. Lutsen, con-

Wisconsinites will be glad to know there’s also a custard stand near the waterfront. Grand Marais is a good spot to get fresh fish, including whitefish and lake trout. We had

Portage history Minnesota from A33 Marais, drivers watching carefully can find a wayside around Mile 123 and walk on the pebbly Paradise Beach, known for agates. Just a few miles shy of the Canadian border is the Ojibwe community of Grand Portage. There’s not much of a town, but the Grand Portage Casino offers rooms, campsites, dining and, of course, slot machines. It’s named for the 8
1/2-mile portage that the American Indians and French Canadian voyageurs used to carry their canoes and goods as they bypassed rapids on the Pigeon River on its way into Lake Superior. We were surprised to encounter modern-day voyageurs—a group of Minnesota university students— who had just reached the big lake, successfully completing an arduous canoe trip that began near Ely, more than 100 miles west.

THE protected harbour is calm on a summer day at Grand Marais on Minnesota’s North Shore. The Grand Portage National Historic Site tells the history of the portage. The free site has a new visitors centre, as well as an Indian encampment and a traders compound, complete with re-enactors. Fish were cooking over a fire, and volunteer Noreen Horwitz from Colorado was showing how to use an Indian baby carrier. We were especially intrigued by the canoe warehouse, where Keith Lin-
deman, an RVer originally from Columbus, Ohio, explained how in the 1790s, the North West Company used 40-foot canoes made of birch bark, cedar and spruce that could hold 5,000 pounds of goods. After the spring thaw, a crew of about 12 men set out from Montreal for Grand Portage, paddling 14 or 15 hours a day and unloading the canoe every night and at every portage. “You can’t beach a birchbark canoe,” Lindeman explained.
At Grand Portage, the men traded with the Indians and sent smaller canoes to outposts farther west to trade goods for fur pelts. Grand Portage is also the jumping-off point for backpackers and paddlers headed to the remote Isle Royale National Park, known for its wolves and moose. Wisconsinites usually take a ferry from the U.P. to Rock Harbor

Other options include a panoramic sunroof, a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, and rear door window blinds. Driver-assist safety technologies are also available in abundance for those who like the car to do some thinking for them. The new Genesis is also a statement of intent: it heralds what will be the look of the seven new less-premium Hyundai products expects to grace our showrooms before 2016. When it comes to driving, it’s really a tale of two cars. The top-of-the-line model offers a big V8 5-litre power plant, with 420 horses at its disposal. Ironically, it’s best enjoyed jogged along at low speed on the highway, where it has the feel of an old-fashioned big family sedan. (It’s not a lot of fun on the twisting lakeside roads of the Okanagan.) Cars destined for the Canadian market will come with an all-new HTRAC
active wheel drive (AWD) system. Says Hyundai: “Performance of the vehicle’s all-new platform was validated in some of the world’s most demanding driving environments, including Germany’s famed Nürburgring Nordschleife and Korea’s Yeongam Formula 1 racing circuit.” The large variety of proving grounds offered by the northern Okanagan was much more appealing to me. And especially so in the car equipped with the 311 horsepower, 3.8-litre GDI V6 engine. Flipping between the Normal, Eco and Sport modes and tapping the gear-changing paddles on the steering wheel made for an enjoyable drive. Little lean in the corners and sprightly up hill. Both engines are coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission with a SHIFTRONIC manual mode. The base price is $43,000, $48,000 gets you the Luxury version, and $53,000 loads up the tech features. If you want the V8, get ready to spend $62,000. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Big, heavy, yet light on fuel The all-new, third generation 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD tips the scale at 2,200 kg (4,850 lbs.) It’s not a svelte vehicle. Inside, this Highlander can carry up to seven passengers. It’s not a cramped vehicle. And behind the third row of seats, there’s a cargo capacity of 385L. It’s an accommodating vehicle. So when I knew that I’d be logging more than 1,000 kilometres in a week, perhaps
you’d think I’m a little crazy to want to take this (relatively) heavy and large SUV along for the ride. Normally, I would too. But there’s a word in its name that made me want to take this beauty of a beast for the long haul: Hybrid. As I entered the Flaxen (aka beige) adorned cabin, I reached for the “Eco Mode” button underneath the redesigned centre stack. I gave that a push. The Eco mode is a feature that lessens the throttle response in an effort to

It is competent, potent and a fabulous sport utility vehicle even in Eco Mode where the fun is a little bit restricted.

help save fuel. You can still do all your normal daily driving duties, it just helps you keep money where it should be: in your wallet. And keeps the fuel where it should be: in the tank. Granted, in Eco Mode, it doesn’t give you the peppy acceleration you might like. Then again, if prompt acceleration is what you’re after, skip the Eco Mode and that’s exactly what you’ll get.

behind the wheel. It cruises effortlessly atop the pavement and makes the driver and passengers feel at ease. Especially when you know you’re going the distance. I even had one passenger say to me, “If we were in here any longer, I could’ve fallen asleep! It’s so comfortable.” Good thing they weren’t driving. The suspension is composed of front Macpherson struts and a rear double wishbone type, trailing arms set up. Toyota gets an A+ for ride comfort. And it’s arguably one of the best in its class. Aiding in establishing a serene setting is a host of creature comforts like heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, second row captain’s chairs, easy access to the third row, keyless entry, navigation, an 8-inch touchscreen and much more. We’ve already established its size, and while it fits up to seven, it doesn’t feel that big to drive. Sure, you need to make sure you watch its width but manoeuvring it around in parking lots isn’t a chore at all. Thanks to its rack and pinion-type, electric power steering, you can move around graciously. Though this is not my first hybrid SUV that I’ve tested, I am always excited to see how well these machines perform in regards to fuel economy. After all, there’s a 3.5L, V6 engine under the hood, which is then matched with
an electric motor, a Sealed Nickel-Metal Hydride battery and an Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT). The result is a net 280 horsepower. There’s also a 1,587 kg (3,500 lbs.) towing capacity. Looking at the estimated fuel results, it’s rated at 6.8L/100km in the city and 7.2L/100km on the highway. Keep in mind the aforementioned stats about its size and weight and those numbers are really impressive. My real world numbers? A combined average of 8.9L/100km. Not bad. Not bad at all. Most of my driving was done on the highway so the hybrid system doesn’t have a chance to run off electricity alone at those speeds. Oh, and it’s all-wheel drive. Sun or snow, this SUV is ready for it all. With fuel prices hovering around the $1.50/litre mark, the more kilometres I can get out of a tank, the better. And the Highlander Hybrid made me a very happy gal. The conclusion: The 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD is competent, potent and a fabulous sport utility vehicle even in Eco Mode where the fun is a little bit restricted. The MSRP for the 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD is $52,695. Visit www.toyota.ca for more information.

The good old bad old days of four-wheeling
Chevrolet 4x4.
CONTRIBUTED
ago – four wheeling in a truck when the standard transmission shifter was so loose, you didn’t know you were in gear or neutral. Anti-lock brakes were when you lost your master cylinder to a stick, while (independently minded) power steering kicked in when you hit the corner of a rock so hard it ripped the steering
Luxury and hi-tech systems abound in the 4x4s that show up in the local media test fleets. When I stepped out of one of the more loaded examples the other I got to thinking about yesteryear. Some might refer to them as the good old days – judge for yourself. I remember – not that long

Traction control came in the shape of new tires. Automatic four-wheel-drive was achieved by asking your passenger to step out and lock the front hubs. The parking brake was a log shoved under the rear tire. Soft suspension meant your shocks were blown. Off-road suspension meant you spent more time hitting the roof with your head and back than you actually spent on the seat, which if you were lucky had some remaining padding still in it. Your seat belts would tighten up on every bump and if you didn’t stop you would be suffocated. You would be lucky if your radio would bring in a few channels on the AM band only! And the CB radio might just reach the driver in front of you. Wheel articulation really indicated your leaf spring was broken in half. Air conditioning was driving with your windows down and trying to breath in between dust clouds. GPS was your buddy screaming out, “I think it’s this road”. Most people used to sleep in the back of their trucks. However, I remember one time after a long day of four-wheeling pulling into an open area by a river where I found a nice sandy mound. With the aid of my flash light I quickly spread the sand out with my arms making a flat area in which to put my tent. It was about 5:30 am when I first noticed the red ants crawling all around my sleeping bag. I was tired so killing the one at a time was not a big deal until I saw many climbing the side of the tent. I quickly climbed out of my tent to discover the soft sandy mound I found was actually a giant anthill. The vehicles of today have the capabilities of descending steep hills without even putting your foot on the brake and you could disconnect your sway bar end links to allow for more articulation. Ability to stop on a hill without rolling back is nice. Comfortable seats are really an improvement, especially on long trips. Although we can’t relive the past, it’s important to remember technology is there to help us. There is no replacement for common sense, so don’t let your truck drive you, drive it and be safe. If you have any fun and not-so-fun truck tales to share, please drop me a line. ian.harwood@drivewaybc. ca

Impala a handsome beast
Zack Spencer
colours really makes this cabin pop. The seats can be covered in cloth on the base car, faux suede seats or leather on the top models. The dash is covered in soft touch materials; I especially like the textured aluminum look around the window buttons and cup holders. The MyLink infotainment system is easy to use and the graphics look good and the screen pops up for access to the hidden storage area with a USB jack. Standard features include tilt and telescopic steering wheel, Bluetooth connectivity, USB, 8-way power driver’s seat and more. But the back seat might be the best part of this car. The legroom has limo like dimensions and the space side-to-side and headroom is ample. The trunk is also huge with a fold down rear seat, providing more space than many small SUVs. Drive The Impala is now offered with a 4-cylinder or V6. The base engine is a 2.5L with direct injection unit and 195hp. My test Impala didn’t have this engine but I have used this new engine in the Malibu and I was very impressed with it then, one of the best new

engines I have used. The V6 engine is a 3.6L direct injection unit with a potent 305hp. Both are matched to a 6-speed automatic that can be shifted manually but the shifter is on top of the knob, not the best place. The big car platform and independent suspension makes for a sure-footed ride with almost luxury car feel. The road feel is there, but never intrusive. This big sedan can actually handle rather well. Not the choice for a backcountry road excursions but stable and secure feeling. Verdict

Canadians love smaller vehicles, the best selling passenger vehicles are compact cars and compact SUVs. As much as we like to keep things sensible, there is always a place for larger vehicles. Full-size sedans are not big sellers but some buyers prefer them for long distance cruising and the road-hugging stance that a sedan provides. There are some very good choices out there and the latest is this all-new Chevrolet Impala. The previous Impala was a favourite for company sales fleets or rental car companies, with a minority of buyers choosing them for personal transportation. Looks This is a very handsome car, I can clearly remember seeing for the first time over a year ago at the New York Auto Show and it was the standout of that event. This new design is striking on several levels. The front design has the signature Chevrolet split grille that was so warmly received on this car that they borrowed it and graphed it into the smaller Malibu. The side has sweeping front windshield and rear window with a high rear deck that provides a sleek silhouette. Prices start at just over $28,000 and the 2LT is fitted with the V6 engine and starts at almost $33,000. Inside It looks and works well, showcasing what GM is doing right. The mixture of materials shapes and
Consumer Reports recently rated this one of the best cars they had ever tested, right behind the Tesla Model S and BMW 135i. This new Impala does everything a big car buyer is looking for: It cruises with ease, has more than enough room for five full size adults and the interior is quiet and refined.
2014 Chevrolet Impala.

have a look at the Impala offers for just slightly more money. Hopefully this new Impala will not be relegated to fleet sales and rental lots.

Alex Brian GREEN Alex Brian Green (“Al�), 71, passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, May 4th, 2014. He leaves behind his daughter, Tracie (William) Der of Nanoose Bay, BC; son, Richard (Stacey) Green of Lacombe, AB; grandchildren Samantha & Alexa Der and Nicolas Green; brother, Burt (Ann) Green of Lethbridge, AB; and extended family in Ontario and the United Kingdom. He is predeceased by his wife, Bonnye (nee Knight) Green; and granddaughter, Robyn Green. Born in Wiltshire, England, the son of Ernest and Gertrude (“Pat�) Green, the family immigrated to Canada when Alex was just 5 years old aboard the Aquitania, landing in Montreal and settling in the Orono/Leskard area of southern Ontario to farm. His mother died suddenly of a cerebral hemorrhage when he was just 15 years old and before long he dropped out of school and fled home to enlist in the Canadian Army. There, he trained as a signalman, joining the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals, and served on the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus in the 1960s. It was during this time that he met his future wife, Bonnye Jeanane Knight, marrying in 1962. After starting his family, he was honourably discharged and settled in Calgary, joining the business ranks of Xerox in the early days of the copier industry. Although he did well there and enjoyed promotions and advancement, the corporate world was not for him and he sought to return to the simpler, rural lifestyle he’d enjoyed as a child. Al moved his young family to Naramata, in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, in 1972. The family moved many times within the Okanagan, ultimately living in Kelowna. Al joined Copytron and re-engaged in a career that saw him return to his expertise in technology and electronics. He advanced within the company, taking on managerial roles and new enterprises in research and development, with Photofax and Micron Imaging. He oversaw offshore production and started a manufacturing facility in Bulgaria during this time. Once again, however, the pressures caught up to him and he left the corporate world a second time, moving with his wife to be close to his son’s young family in Alberta for several years before returning to Kelowna. After his wife died of cancer in 1999, Al abandoned the Okanagan and moved to Parksville to be near his daughter and her family. There, he passed his retirement assisting neighbours and others in the community with computers (his new passion), designing websites and making travels plans for his big motorhome. He debated political and social issues with anyone who would take him on and enjoyed sharing stories of old times with friends at the Legion, as well as his family. He had a brush with his own mortality when a heart condition caused him to collapse and landed him in hospital in 2012. He was recovering well and it came as a shock to family and friends when he died so suddenly. All his life, Al had a special place in his heart for animals – especially dogs – and very nearly always had at least one dog in the family. When he passed away, his faithful companion Cocoa was at his side and she has since joined the “furry ranks� within his daughter’s home. A Memorial Service will be held at the Mt. Arrowsmith (Parksville) Branch #49 of the Royal Canadian Legion, Monday, May 26th, at 11:00 am. In lieu of flowers, please consider honouring Al’s memory by making a donation to the Royal Canadian Legion or the SPCA.
I leave to the friends and family who survive me, the following: “If I should go before the rest of you, break not a flower nor inscribe a stone; Nor, when I’m gone, speak in a Sunday voice, but be the usual selves that I have known. Weep if you must, parting is Hell, But life goes on, so sing as well.�

Money pits: High maintenance classics The miracle of depreciation has put a tempting array of classic exotics within reach for many of us. Be warned, though, that very often, the cheque you write for the purchase is just the first of many that you’ll write if you make a poor or unlucky choice. Keep in mind this maxim: The cheapest examples almost always wind up being the most expensive in the long run. Here are four that famously can be punishing on the wallet: 1966-80 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow: At around the cost of a loaded Ford Focus for a nice one, it’s hard not to be tempted by the upper crust looks of a vintage Rolls-Royce. But go in with your eyes open: A simple brake service can exceed $1,000, with the special Rolls-Royce brake fluid going for $125 all by itself. Try to substitute something from your local auto parts store and you could be

While Ferrari 308s have gained a reputation for being reasonably reliable cars as Italian exotics go, they are maintenance-intensive and things do break, particularly with the oldest now approaching 40 years old.

the all-important timing belt needs to happen at least every five years or 30,000 miles. Ignore it and you could be on the line for a $15,000-plus engine rebuild. 1968-72 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 6.3: The 6.3 is the closest that Mercedes ever came to building a Detroit-style muscle car back in the day (albeit a fourdoor one). Sporting a huge 384 cubic-inch V-8 with fuel injection and over 300 hp, the 6.3 was capable of a sub-six second 0-60 run and a 14.2-second ¼-mile time. All of this came at a huge price, though, both in acquisition costs and maintenance. A complete rebuild of the air suspension system can cost more than $5,000, as can the wonderfully complex pre-computer, mechanical fuel-injection system. At least the parts are available. 1961-74 Jaguar E-Type: The E-Type is actually nowhere near as chronically troublesome as its reputation would suggest. This gorgeous car still seems to take a punch on a regular basis (most recently in a plot arc of AMC’s “Mad Men,” where a suicide attempt was botched because the car wouldn’t start). It is, however, a fairly complex car that takes kindly neither to abuse nor fools with tools. Burn out the clutch in your E-Type and you may wish you hadn’t been born. The list of things that have to come off of or out of the car to do the job is long. The entire massive clam shell hood, headlight and front fender assembly known by the British term “bonnet” is just the tip of the iceberg. It has to come off simply to get at the engine and transmission, which also need to part company with the rest of the car — along with three grand or so of your kid’s college fund.

natural processes. Our attention extends all the way down to details like the choice of non off-gassing interior finishes, like flooring and paint.” Built Green builders commit to changing their practices across the board; they have to walk the enviro-friendly talk, which Mission Group has done in spades. Since they joined Built Green in 2008, they’ve completed 214 homes in three Built Green Gold certified communities—Sage at Auguston, Amberhill and Winsome Hill. Environmental leadership is about more than a few changes in practice. It takes vision and commitment, which, from the build site up, Mission Group continues to build into their legacy. For homeowners like Herhaus or George and Arlene, this vision transformed into their very own healthy homes and allowed them the well-being of knowing they have minimal impact on the environment. It’s one community at a time, but Mission Group wants to make a difference.

important purchase. The BC Real Estate Association has reported the total dollar volume in home sales has increased 21.5 per cent in March 2014 year-over-year, while volume is up 16 per cent and is predicting continued strong sales while interest rates are low. BC Notaries provide conveyancing and other real estate-related services to many B.C. home buyers and sellers. Spring is a particularly busy season for those services. “There are a few
things that have influenced strong real estate sales in addition to lower interest rates,” said Akash Sablok, president of the Society of Notaries Public of BC and a notary public in East Vancouver. “Changes to the property transfer tax exemption limit and to mortgage loan insurance premiums also had first-time buyers rushing to complete purchases last month. As notaries, we ensure that nothing is missed when buyers are urgently trying to close on purchases.”

Notaries throughout B.C. have been experiencing a strong spring market particularly in Vancouver, Victoria and in resource-based towns including Kitimat and Fort St. John. Busy housing markets and low interest rates attract first-time home buyers keen to enter the market. These aspiring new homeowners—whether they’re young couples, singles, or families— often ask notaries for trusted guidance on their

ward-winning author Sara Williams will visit the Okanagan from May 29 to 31 to give two presentations and attend a book signing event. Now retired, Williams was the horticultural specialist at the University of Saskatchewan. She is the author of many gardening books and regularly gives presentations and workshops throughout western Canada. We are grateful to the Kelowna Garden Club for bringing Williams to Kelowna to give a presentation entitled Perennials: Basic and Beyond. That presentation takes place Thursday, May 29, 7 p.m., at the Okanagan College campus theatre (Student Services Building) on KLO Road. Admission is free, donations invited. Perennials are my favourite type of plant so I’m really looking forward to this. I first became aware of Williams in 1997 when I discovered her new book Creating the Prairie Xeriscape. I was thrilled. I had discovered the Principles of Xeriscape in 1992, but the few books I had found were all from the U.S. Her book was perfect
This free event is sponsored by the Summerland Ornamental Gardens. The topic will be xeriscape landscaping. I have heard Williams speak several times on a variety of topics. They have all been enjoyable and informative as are all of her books. I hope you will be able to attend at least one of these free events.

for the Okanagan and all the plants were hardy for our climate. There are close to 900 species in the plant catalogue, with many photos and good descriptions. Additionally, there are very useful plant tables making it easy to find the plants that suit your conditions. In my opinion, it has the best, easy to follow explanation of the Seven Principles of Xeriscape. Also there are sidebars of quick facts for easy reference. Williams has been gardening for more than 20 years on five acres of sand near Saskatoon— good practical experience for writing the book. Because Creating the Prairie Xeriscape is such a good reference, I have been selling it in my classes for years. Much to my dismay, the book went out of print about four years ago. However, the new edition which came out last year has 100 more pages and many more coloured photos, but still sells at the same price, $34.95. The Okanagan Xeriscape Association is delighted to host a book signing event for Williams on Friday, May 30, from 10 to 11a.m., at the unH2O Xeriscape Garden in front of the H2O Aquatic Centre, 4075 Gordon Dr. Come and meet Williams, and enjoy seeing what is blooming in the ever-changing, lush xeriscape gardens. She will have books for sale. If you already have a copy, bring your

Benefits of ‘green’ building now evident Multiple offer
sale scenarios starting to occur
From the ground up: Mission Group looks to build sustainable communities. Michael Herhaus wasn’t thinking about the benefits of buying a home constructed to Built Green standards. But since purchasing his Winsome Hill home in Kelowna, Herhaus has come to appreciate those benefits. “I was not aware that it was Built Green—that wasn’t something I was thinking about,” said Herhaus. Be also wasn’t looking to buy pre-sale, either, having heard past horror stories about that process. But his realtor knew Mission Group, so Herhaus said they were the only builder he would buy from pre-sale. There’s a lot of industry jargon out there that makes it confusing for homeowners to know what they’re getting, but when Herhaus moved into his Winsome Hill townhome, there were differences he readily noticed in his home. “It’s funny. I noticed that I had to alternate my cleaning schedule from top to bottom because I was throwing cleaning supplies in the garbage… there was no dust,” Herhaus recalled—and he’s not alone. George and Arlene live at Winsome Hill, and of their home buying experience, George said: “In our first brand new home, we could smell the formaldehyde in the carpet

There’s also a lot less dust. It feels a lot cleaner in this new home.” What these folks are experiencing are benefits of Built Green’s holistic approach to building. Every sustainability program is different and has different areas of focus. Built Green Canada recognizes energy as a vital component in residential construction and ownership. It moves beyond this to include electrical efficiency, water efficiency, indoor air quality, resource use and overall environmental impact. An advanced building technologies approach with a view that the home works as a system or a
sum of its parts. On paper, these words mean only so much to the consumer, but in practice it’s simple—lower bills, smaller environmental footprint, an increased quality of living. Herhaus notes that his three-storey, 1,460 squarefoot home has almost no temperature variation between the floors, which he attributes to great insu-
lation. While the insulation plays a part, this is where Built Green sees the “house as a system” performing for its residents. The reduced dust, the better air quality, the consistent temperature— these are all due in part to better building materials, to better ventilation, to better home air tightness. These areas feed into

others and more benefits become apparent to the homeowner. Herhaus was also surprised that he had only one bill—electric power. This includes heating, cooling, hot water, and electric power, yet it averages only $72 per month. A low utilities bill is just another noticeable difference between a Built Green home and a home only built to code. “At Mission Group, we take an Inspired Green approach with all of our new home communities. This means that we look for ways to minimize the environment impact in every aspect of our work,” said JoAnne Adamson, director of sales for Mission Group Homes. “We start with the big picture, such as land use and protecting the site’s See Green B19
ondominium or townhome living is a popular option for many buyers as it can be a relatively carefree housing option. Interest in condo/townhomes tends to grow with an influx now available on the market and relatively low mortgage rates. It’s an option to seriously consider if you are currently renting—a $200,000 mortgage today at a five-year fixed rate is a $956/month payment. There are several things you should be aware of when purchasing a condo/townhome. First, you are moving into a collection of private dwellings referred to as units. Each unit is owned and registered in the name of the purchaser. Second, ownership of the common elements of the building such as lobbies, hallways, recreations facilities and landscaping is shared among the individual unit owners, as is the cost for the operation, maintenance and ongoing replacement. Each owner has an interest in these elements and the value of each particular unit is calculated in proportion to the value the unit has in relation to the total value of all units in the strata. This percentage is used to calculate the monthly strata fee that you must pay for upkeep. As well, if there are any unforeseen expenses or shortfalls, each unit owner will be required to pay a proportion of those costs not already accounted for in the common ownership reserve fund. Each unit owner is responsible for their own property taxes, which typically are less than the tax assessed for a single family home. As a unit owner, the responsibility is yours to pay for personal property insurance, any improvements to the unit such as kitchen or flooring upgrades, and personal liability. The strata looks after insurance coverage for the common areas and the units, as well as personal liability against claims for bodily injury and property damage occurring on the property. Each strata is governed by its own unique rules, regulations and bylaws. Always carefully review and consider these bylaws and rules prior to purchasing. Also review the year-end financial statements and budget to determine the financial well being of the strata. An important part of that budget is the reserve fund. A portion of your strata fee is designated to the reserve fund and these funds are set aside to provide for major repairs over the life of the condominium/townhome building. An insufficiently funded reserve fund puts unit owners at risk for added costs to deal with major property repairs.
