n Canada, it is estimated that about one in every 130 people is afflicted with celiac disease.

An autoimmune disorder triggered by the consumption of gluten, celiacs suffer a wide range of symptoms, adversely affecting their health and overall quality of life.

While there is not yet a cure for the disease, there is an effective treatment—a gluten-free diet.

In today’s Capital News, reporter Warren Henderson talks to a Kelowna woman with celiac disease who, through careful planning and a strict diet, has learned to lead a healthy and happy lifestyle.

Managing celiac disease

Facts on celiac disease What is celiac disease ?

A medical condition in which the absorptive surface of the small intestine is damaged by a substance called gluten. This results in an inability of the body to absorb nutrients—protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, all of which are vital for good health.

Symptoms ?

A vast range of symptoms can occur, but those among youth may include growth problems, fatigue, weight loss, abdominal bloating, diarrhea and constipation. Among adults, symptoms can include bone or joint pain, anemia, depression or anxiety, headaches and fatigue.

How many Canadians are affected?

Although statistics are not readily available, it is estimated that one in about 130 persons—both children and adults—in Canada are affected by the disease.

Diagnosis ?

Blood tests are used in the screening process.

Because bloods tests are not considered 100 per cent accurate, an intestinal biopsy is performed to confirm the diagnosis.

Cure ?

To date, there is no cure. However, celiac disease can be readily treated by following a gluten-free diet.

There is so much gluten-free food available and recipes out there, you just have to learn about it.

For example, instead of wheat-based pasta, Samuels said rice pasta and corn pasta are more than adequate replacements and are readily available in many stores.

So a task that once seemed daunting and, at times, insurmountable has become a source of adventure and enjoyment for Samuels.

“It turned into a discovery, it was actually enjoyable uncovering new gluten-free recipes, a fun experience,” Samuels said. “Now I cook all the time, I make everything and I really don’t mind it at all. And now that so many restaurants have

gluten-free menus, that just adds to the choices we have.”

As for the residual effects from a gluten-free diet, Samuels couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

As Samuels follows a gluten-free diet exclusively to treat her disease, hundreds of thousands of North Americans are choosing to eat gluten-free products for other reasons.

Research by gluten-free company Udi’s suggests 18 per cent of British Columbians are at least part-time consumers of gluten-free products.

While not yet proven by research, it is believed many people who are not celiacs may be afflicted by a lesser degree of gluten intolerance and are opting for gluten-free food as a remedy.

buckwheat, amaranth and millet flour can be used in place of wheat-based products.

There are hundreds of manufactured gluten-free products currently on the market.

Many restaurants today also carry gluten-free menus.

Still, others are buying gluten-free products because it’s trendy, or because their friends are experimenting with them.

As long as people are doing it for the right reasons—not simply as a diet or weight-loss fad— Samuels is all for the gluten-free movement.

“Gluten-free is super trendy right now and sometimes you get lumped in…but I’m a celiac, that’s why I do it, because I have to,” she said.

••• Seven years ago, Mary Hicks’ son, Alan, was diagnosed with celiac disease.

Since then, Hicks has become well-versed on the subject and now works as an advisor with the Kelowna chapter of the Canadian Celiacs Association.

A registered dietitian, Hicks said once a person is diagnosed, the only effective treatment is relatively straightforward—a lifelong gluten-free diet.

Hicks said a decade ago, when there was far less general awareness of celiac disease, there were considerably fewer food options for celiacs, making eating an intimidating daily challenge.

Thankfully for celiacs, times have changed.

“The growth (of gluten-free food) has been huge, even just since my son was diagnosed,” said Hicks. “There are many more and better tasting food options, there are so many packaged products that are available now.

“But even more desirable for people is to eat whole foods and healthy foods…fruit, vegetables, nuts and legumes. Anything that is less refined is best.”

Even though many restaurants provide more gluten-free meals than ever before, Hicks said celiacs still need to be vigilant about getting information when dining out.

“It’s important for celiacs to ask lot of questions, because cross-contamination of foods can happen,” she said. “Always tell them you’re celiac.”

If people suspect their bodies are being adversely affected by gluten, Hicks suggests being test-

Healthier from A4 ed for the potential of celiac disease.

“We always recommend to people that they get the blood test and the (small intestine) biopsy before going gluten-free,” she said. “If you feel poorly, is it gluten, or is something else? There is still a lot of research being done on whether people are intolerant to gluten without being celiac.”

While there is about one in every 130 people living with celiac disease, many health professionals believe that another large sector of society may have a degree of sensitivity or intolerance to gluten. However, research on gluten sensitivity remains inconclusive.

Kelowna dietitian Tristaca Curley deals with several clients who are celiacs and many others who suspect they may have a sensitivity to food with gluten.

“When I see clients with digestive issues, we will often try an elimination diet, sometimes going gluten-free,” said Curley, nutrition counsellor and owner of Fueling With Food. “Some people it doesn’t impact at all, others it seems to help

right away. With celiacs, we know what we’re facing, but gluten intolerance doesn’t have a diagnostic tool.”

Curley estimates about one in five of her non-celiac clients genuinely feel better when omitting gluten from their diet.

Still, Curley doesn’t recommend a gluten-free lifestyle for everyone.

“I don’t promote it unless there are real benefits to it,” she said. “Most people aren’t affected by gluten, so taking it out of your diet isn’t necessarily the answer. It’s like lactose intolerance…if you’re not lactose intoler-

CLOSE-UP ant, there’s no need to stop drinking milk.

“Gluten-free seems to have a health halo around it for a lot of people,” Curley added. “It’s a healthy choice in some circumstances, but it’s certainly not the cure-all.”

What medical science has proven without question is that gluten is harmful to celiacs.

But how much the composition of gluten has changed over the years and the precise impacts it has had on overall human health, largely remains a mystery.

“There are lot of theories and studies that are ongoing,” Curley said.

“Some people say breads are created in a different fashion, that gluten could be very different than it once was.

“We know farming practices have changed, so some people speculate the chemical composition has changed in the

grains and, in turn, gluten is different. Gluten in processed foods has increased, too, so that could be another factor.”

on the long weekends, but May long weekend is usually the worst,” said conservation officer Sgt. Jim Beck.

Up in the forested area that straddles the hills above Peachland and Summerland, that observation was reinforced.

“Through our Report All Poachers and Polluters line, an individual called in and said they heard a ruckus in the Headwaters Lake area and they went in after the dust settled to see what was left behind,” he said.

What they found was a pickup truck load worth of garbage and creatures protected under the wildlife act, slaughtered.

“There were some songbirds they killed and a beaver was shot and partially skinned,” said Beck,

noting that it was clear from the beaver’s corpse that the effort to remove its pelt was rudimentary at best.

“It’s senseless killing.

We deal with all kinds of wildlife offences, and from time-to-time we get something like this.”

The vast majority of outdoor enthusiasts aren’t bent on destruction and have an appreciation of natural resources, he said.

“Groups like these tend to be disrespectful,” he said. “(This group) had guns, but that doesn’t mean they’re hunters.

They were discharging fire arms all through the night.”

Along with a trail of dead creatures and garbage, there’s evidence of a larger-than-permitted fire.

The group also damaged

the gate to the District of Summerland’s water supply, which has become a West Kelowna RCMP file.

Basically, when conservation officers finally find the people who made a mess in the forested area, they’ll have plenty of options for penalties.

“We have a couple of leads that we’re hoping will lead us to them,” said Beck, noting that some Good Samaritans cleaned up the site, and took loads of pictures that are being catalogued as evidence.

“If anybody has any knowledge of who did this they can give us a call through the RAPP line.”

A polarizing figure in regional politics in the Central Okanagan during his four terms as a Central Okanagan Regional District director—the first two representing Westbank and the second two as one of three directors representing the consolidated Westside electoral area—he sat on the CORD board from 1996 to 2007.

In 2002, he and then Lakeview electoral area director Len Novakowski joined the two previously separate electoral areas into one and the combined area received a third director position, which was filled by David Knowles.

Dinwoodie is remembered by many for his passionate support for his community and issues that affected the Westside.

RCMP investigating forgery of West Kelowna homeowner’s signature

f e P Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

y The builder who eforged a homeowner’s dsignature to get the green flight for a variance needed to build a home on Lakeview Cove Road in West gKelowna is at the centre of an RCMP investigation. e Capital News reported dlast week James Zeleznik, general manager of Jazel Homes, forged Ray Kohut’s signature on a letyter dated March 20, which dindicated approval for a lbuilding height variance on a neighbouring lot.

- West Kelowna countcil voted in favour of that evariance April 8.

- According to Nancy Henderson, general manager of development services for the district, staff’s recommendation to issue the variance was tstrongly influenced by -Kohut’s letter of support. d Kohut discovered his signature had been forged ,earlier this month, after returning from a trip out of dcountry.

“I was pretty upset, of course,” said Kohut, who -is currently in Tanzania.

In a statement, Zelezenik said he assumed Kohut would have replied to ga series of e-mails if he -had any further comments -or concerns about the varieance. g But Kohut said that dwas the wrong assump-

tion to make, adding he never indicated support for the variance through e-mail correspondence with Zeleznik.

Instead, Kohut sent one e-mail March 20, asking if the variance would allow the house next door to tower over his.

Zeleznik sent several more e-mails and Kohut didn’t reply.

“I thought it was very clear, that the tone of my e-mail was: ‘No,’” said Kohut.

Kohut was outraged when he initially saw what was being built next to his house; however, he sent the district a letter May 11, which reluctantly suggested the variance should be left in place to prevent an eye sore and lost jobs in the community.

But Kohut has since changed his mind.

“I think they should tear it down…At the end of the day, what I need to look at is the value of my property.”

If the District of West Kelowna decides to approve the variance once again, Kohut predicts his property value will drop significantly.

Over the past couple of weeks, Kohut said he has tested the market to see if anyone is interested in purchasing his home.

“The first people I offered it to came back and

said, ‘No.’ The only reason was because of the house that’s being built next to me.”

Since discovering fraud was committed, West Kelowna council has opted to reconsider the variance request that was initially approved April 8. That decision has delayed construction.

According to a letter sent to the district May 12, Robert and Patricia Sklar were expecting to move into the home being constructed at the end of August.

The letter, written by the Saskatchewan couple, indicates reconsideration of the variance has affected them in several ways.

“Moving to West Kelowna for our retirement was something we had been looking forward to for a very long time,” wrote the Sklars.

“Building our retirement home with a view of the vineyards, lake and mountains unique to Kelowna was our dream, which has now turned into an unbelievable nightmare over the last few months.”

The couple added between the lot cost, the builder’s down payment and the outstanding costs of the build-to-date, they have invested $450,000 in the property.

They also fear further delays may prevent them from selling their Saskatchewan home this summer, which may force them to lower their asking price.

“Our retirement, dream home, life savings and move to Kelowna by the end of this summer are all in jeopardy if this variance is denied.”

Robert and Patricia Sklar could not be reached for comment before press deadline.

West Kelowna council is expected to revisit the issue at its meeting Tuesday, May 29.

Kelowna RCMP Const. Kris Clark said there is an ongoing investigation related to forgery, but no charges have been laid yet.

Starting June 2, customers will access the Glenmore Landfill from John Hindle Drive and the current Glenmore Drive entrance will be closed. The entrance and traffic signal at John Hindle Drive will help to take some of the traffic congestion away from Glenmore Drive and will allow a safer left turn for those leaving the landfill.

Improvements include a new recycling area before the main gates, improved weigh scales for measuring loads, and paved areas for refuse disposal making load drop off easier and cleaner for residents visiting the site.

▼ HASHTAG POUTINE

Revel in the wonderful fluidity of language I f I was Alex Trebek, and I said “A dish of French fries covered with brown gravy and cheese curds,” I’m assuming you, as a proud flag-waving Canuck, would know what to say next.

A simple, “What is poutine?” would be a winning answer.

As of today, the response could also be, “The newest Canadian themed word in the Merriam Webster dictionary.”

That’s right. Ooey gooey greasy poutine is no longer a Canadian secret, it’s in the dictionary, and I’m chuffed to

hear it.

Sure, Merriam Webster also added the heinous words “hashtag” and “selfie” at the same time, somewhat downgrading the honour, but why quibKathy ble about the details.

Some culinary cool Michaels from the kitchens of my people making it to the pages of America’s best-selling dictionary, let alone cookbooks, and that’s something somewhat remarkable.

More remarkable, however, is the wonderful fluidity of the English language.

Just like molten cheese curds, it’s forever morphing to accommodate its

KATHARTIC

surroundings.

And the slang—the gorgeous mouth-warming slang is my favourite part.

It’s my personal goal to slip at least one infrequently used word, either formal or slang-ish, into each column I write. See the way I used the UK-friendly “chuffed” up there?

Enough said. Or not. Read on.

Nobody ever says anything when I work to tweak my vocabulary, but job satisfaction does soar in tandem.

Of course, with each successful experiment is an utter fumble.

Last week there was confusion on where to use historic, versus historical. I still have nightmares about my early days as a reporter when a particular-

ly persnickety woman would write in about my mistakes.

One that comes to mind right now is using “over” when I should have been writing “more than.”

Then forget the flat out spelling mistakes. Those always get a call. For the record, I do know how to spell practice. And practise.

I’ve been practising using it correctly for the last month.

But, I digress.

The point is, language is a wonderful and fluid thing and on days like this, it’s a delicious thing to ponder.

Almost as delicious as poutine.

▼ GLOBAL WARMING

Politicians take over when scientists know best To the editor: The editorial Leave Global Warming To Science (May 20 Capital News) quite properly chides the climate change deniers in the US for turning this threat into a political football.

However, the editorial is massively too kind and forgiving when talking about the Canadian federal government’s approach to the subject.

The government has reduced support to

science and scientists to the point where it is almost non-existent.

It has labelled those who spoke in favour of science as “foreign-paid eco-terrorists.”

There is no discernible government policy on climate change other than denial and the goal that pipelines will be built regardless of consequences.

Let’s recall that the final decision on all energy projects has been moved by the gov-

ernment caucus in Parliament from the environment agency to the federal cabinet, i.e.: Away from scientists to the politicians.

The call in the editorial for “more science” is appropriate, but too late.

Science has been replaced by ideology.

▼ OBESITY ONTHE RISE

Fat Canadians are popping out all over To the editor: As a parent, I am concerned about the number of overweight Canadians I now see daily. With Canadian stats reporting in 2014 that over 60 per cent of adults and 30 per cent of children and youth are either overweight or obese, why is it that pop sales are increasing exponentially in B.C.? With obesity a major risk factor for a plethora of illnesses from esophageal, colon

and pancreatic cancers to hypertension, stroke, coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes, why are parents purchasing pop as a daily beverage instead of only on special occasions?

Perhaps I am dating myself; however, some of you will remember when we were kids having a pop was saved for special occasions which may have been three to four times per year not per

week. There is a very serious set of consequences attached to high sugar level intakes and we, as a province, need to deal with it today.

The World Health Organization and the American Heart Association have both suggested daily consumption of sugar should be limited to less than 150 calories a day.

With a typical can of pop holding 220 calories of sugar, if we do the math

this continues to prove that this should not be a daily part of our diets.

Obesity in adults currently costs British Columbian’s health care system over $450 million per year and this sum is destined to increase dramatically as it reflects the burden of obesity-related diseases unless we do something to change it.

I have heard comments that the reason people in B.C. are drink-

ing so much pop is that it is an inexpensive alternate to more health-oriented, less sugary drinks. Maybe instead of reaching for a glass of pop when we are thirsty, next time we should consider reaching for a fresh glass of B.C. water to quench our thirst.

The price is certainly right and the health benefits remarkable.

and taxpayers can save a lot of money if the government body just closed its doors. The work can be sub-contracted overseas with no ill effects.

If companies can forge anyone’s signature on legal government documents to get around district regulations with no immediate financial re-

prisals or penalties, or even RCMP charges, then anything is fair game.

Want to build over any height restrictions? No problem. Come to West Kelowna. (Kelowna lakeside highrise developers should take note.)

Want to break municipal, provincial and federal fraud laws? No problem.

I bought into a Westbank condo development where some buyers were told by fraudsters that the complex would have geothermal heating. No such heating exists and even after six years, at least one

management company is advertising the complex as having geothermal heating. (I have a month old e-mail to prove it) Want to commit any type of fraud? Come to West Kelowna.

Pain keeping you from the things you love?

Neck pain?

“I had been suffering with a painful neck and shoulder for almost four years following a car accident, also I was experiencing pain with my hand for a few weeks. Then I went for a few acupuncture treatments and I am happy to report that they have helped me greatly to have me free of pain.” ~ Beatrice, KELOWNA

Back pain?

“I was having severe lower back pain. I saw my medical doctor and was given pain killers. I could only sleep 3 hours at a time, waking up in pain.

I decided to try acupuncture as my father did 40 years ago and the results are way beyond my expectation. My pain is virtually gone and I am again enjoying life to its fullest.” ~ Ron, KELOWNA

na city workers have voted 94 per cent in favour of strike action in a bid to prompt a return to the bargaining table by their union’s negotiators and those representing the city.

While CUPE local 338 president Lee Mossman did not return calls about the strike vote or the stalled negotiations Thursday, a spokesman for the city confirmed the strike vote result saying it had been relayed to the city by the union.

The union represents

654 city workers, who have been without a contract since the start of the year.

Negotiations between the city and union broke off last month. It was then that the union decided to hold the strike vote.

The last contract for city workers was reached with the assistance of a mediator in January 2011.

That deal included a retroactive wage hike of 1.25 per cent for 2010, and another 1.25 per cent for 2011, as well as hikes of 1.5 per cent in both

2012 and 2013.

City spokesman Tom Wilson said while both sides have agreed not to negotiate through the media, Kelowna’s human resources director Stu Leatherdale, who is handling negotiations for the city, hopes both sides can get back to the table soon.

Wilson would not go into detail about specific issues discussed prior to the break down of negotiations, but he said wages are always an issue.

While worker support for a strike was over-

whelming, Wilson cautioned such a move is likely a ways off.

Prior to any job action, he said both sides would have to negotiate essential service levels for the many services that the city provides.

In addition, strike notice would have to be served and the union would have to wait 72 hours before it could launch any job action.

The strike mandate given by CUPE local 338 members is good for three months.

Lions Hall arsonist pleads guilty Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Kerry Robert Cooper pleaded guilty Thursday to an arson charge relating to the fire that burned down the Westbank Lions Hall last year.

Cooper, 30, declined legal representation, said Crown counsel David Grabavac, and will return to court July 3 to further resolve the matter.

At that time, a pre-sentence report and court-ordered psyche assessment will be completed.

The case against Cooper, said Grabavac, rested heavily on surveillance video.

“Police have surveillance showing him buying gas at a gas station, going (toward) the hall and walking away without the gas can afterward,” said Grabavac.

“We don’t have evidence that shows him lighting the fire.”

It’s circumstantial evidence, but still quite compelling, said Grabavac.

Cooper has yet to say anything about the matter other than the guilty plea, but it’s believed by some that he may have been motivated to spark the blaze by revenge.

In a recent interview, the woman who was set to be married in the hall that same day claimed that Cooper was to be a guest at her wedding Sept. 1, 2013.

Amanda Nevdoff said Cooper was her bridesmaid’s on-again, offagain boyfriend and she’d recommended a permanent split.

She may not have been fond of the Kelowna man, but Nevdoff said she didn’t suspect Cooper to be the cause of the fire.

In the days after the inferno gutted the hall, however, a mutual friend referred Nevdoff to what’s believed to be Cooper’s Facebook page. There, he posted a series of comments, and news footage of the fire along with the caption, “haha f*** u Mandy.”

The fire that engulfed the Westbank Lions Community Centre started around 8 a.m., Sunday, Sept.

1, and quickly spread through the original wooden hall portion of the structure, which dates back to 1928, as well as the added on portions.

The entire building was renovated in 1980 when it was moved back from its original position nearer to the road and the addition was completed. Damage was estimated in the ballpark of $1 million.

The rebuild is 50 per cent complete.

OKANAGAN Adventist Academy students will host an art exhibition at the school ART EXHIBIT

Okanagan Adventist Academy students from Kindergarten to Grade 12 will demonstrate that art is not just for art class when they put on show a collection of their work, taken from a variety of classes including geometry, biology and literature.

The creative expression will be on display for a community art show at the school June 5 from 6 to 8 p.m. The school is located at 1035 Hollywood Rd. in Kelowna.

“Art is all around us,” said principal Janice Harford. “It’s in the fine brush strokes of a master painter and the curves and angles of an adept sculptor, yes, but that’s not all.

“There is art to be found in geometric patterns and detailed cell drawings, in poetry that plays with word patterns on a page, and in the beauty of movement.

“There is culinary art, there are textile arts and there are performing arts.”

The school hosted its first art show, staged to emulate the look and atmosphere of a profes-

sional art show opening, last June. The enthusiastic feedback from the community prompted them to stage it again for a second year.

In addition to flexing their artistic muscles, older students also get some behind the scenes exposure on what it takes to put together an art show, from grouping the art in a complimentary format to labelling works with didactics that explain each work and the show in general.

The opening reception Thursday, June 5, will include sets of live music performed by student groups, and hors d’oeuvres by the “Grub Club,” a cooking club hosted by the Son Valley Fellowship that many OKAA students participate in.

While it is not a formal “arts school,” with a particular emphasis on the fine arts, the school sees the creation of art and the sharing of that work as part of their ministry.

“We believe that God is a creative God, and that he instilled the gift of be-

ing able to create inside of us,” Harford said.

Okanagan Adventist Academy is a private, Christian school with ties in Kelowna that date back to 1917. It has been operating in its current location, on Hollywood Road, since the late 1960s.

For more information call 250-860-5305.

ART GALLERY

The Kelowna Art Gallery and the Kelowna Museums will offer a special day of children’s programming on Tuesday, May 27, when a rotating teachers’ strike will close public schools in the Central Okanagan School District.

Participants can be dropped off at the Kelowna Art Gallery at 9 a.m., and will then walk with adult leaders over to the museum. From 9:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., children will explore natural history, starting with dinosaurs and ending with birds and animals of the Okanagan. The museum visit will include a handson activity.

After lunch, partici-

pants will walk over to the art gallery for a fun afternoon of art and creativity. Children will have the opportunity to create art using a variety of materials, as well as the option of exploring the current exhibitions.

Parents can pick up their kids at 4 p.m. in the art gallery.

Children are required to bring two snacks, lunch and a water bottle.

The Kelowna Art Gallery is located at 1315 Water St. For more information about this special program, call 250-762-2226.

THEATRE

The dramatic play RED recently won Theatre BC awards for best director, best actor and best supporting actor at the Okanagan Zone regionals.

Two fund raising performances of the play will be hosted by Creekside Theatre in Lake Country on Friday, May 23, and Saturday, May 24, 7:30 p.m., both nights.

RED is presented

by Fred Skeleton Theatre Company, written by John Logan.

The play offers a study about artist appreciation through a portrait study of an angry and brilliant mind.

Famed abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko asks his young assistant, Ken, the loaded question of what is art and

who gets to decide what is and isn’t art?

The play is set in 1958, and Rothko has just been offered the biggest commission in the history of modern art. As he and Ken work feverishly in his New York studio, Ken begins to realize his answers to those fundamental questions about art are very different than his mentor’s.

The play won six Tony Awards during its run on Broadway.

Residents who were interested in finding out

room seemed fairly empty toward the end of the event, Mayor Doug Findlater predicted 300 or 400 people likely attended.

“The feedback from those who come is always excellent; they really like the format of so many different topics,” said Findlater.

“They came maybe to look at carriage houses, but then they go over and talk about recycling with the regional district.

“It’s a very relaxed way to get to people.”

A staff report on car-

riage homes is expected to come to West Kelowna council in the coming months. Findlater said he believes it will be a controversial issue.

“We know, generally, people are resisting more densification.

“Personally I’m not sold on (carriage homes) yet. I think we’ve come a long way in a fairly short period of time on densification, and maybe it’s time to take a breather.

“But public feedback will affect my views on it.”

Residents also had the opportunity to visit booths that explained the draft water master plan, the wayfinding signage program, the municipal alcohol policy, this year’s municipal election, Westlake Road upgrades, Johnson Bentley Memorial Aquatic Centre facility updates and Wildhorse Community Park.

Findlater said the district will likely continue the community open house as an annual event. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com

or, Pennask Creek is the cornerstone of the B.C. lake stocking program and is considered to be one of the world’s richest

and most productive trout streams. It is one of five B.C. rivers or streams listed as endangered by the ORC.

“This creek is threatened by acid run-off stemming from pyrite-bearing waste rock that was exposed during construction of the Okanagan Highway Connector,” said Mark Angelo, the river’s chair for the Outdoor Recreation Council of B.C. “While the province, to its credit, has spent significant funds trying to remedy the impacts, there remains a need for a more permanent, long term solution and plan.”

Pennask Creek is near the summit of the Coquihalla Connector and was nominated for the endangered list by members of the fly fishing community which is concerned about the Pennask Lake rainbow trout.

According to Brian Chan, a fisheries biologist, more than 20,000 wild rainbow return each spring to the spawning beds in Pennask Creek.

Chan says that constitutes the biggest run of naturally spawning rainbow in the world. It’s believed they are descendants of ancient steelhead that were trapped in large inland lakes by receding

The Pennask Lake rainbow trout are unique and form the brood stock for the province’s southern interior fishing.

According to BC Parks the rainbow trout from the 1,450-metrehigh lake provide eggs for much of the provincial stocking program in the south-central interior.

Pennask Creek is being impacted by acid rock leachate caused by the original construction of Highway 97C. According to ORC, if the highway had been built just a metre higher, things would be different, but when it was constructed it created acid rock leachate which found its way into a little creek which is a tributary of Pennask Creek.

A temporary fix consists of green plastic liners in the ditches alongside the Coquihalla Connector which hold limestone to neutralize the toxic leachate as it drains. The settlement pond below is currently being pumped out regularly to ensure none of the leachate gets into nearby water.

Ellis, Procter celebrate RBC Cup title Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

LISA VANDERVELDE/BLACK PRESS

KELOWNA products John Ellis (pictured) and Cortlan Procter celebrated the RBC Cup title with theYorkton Terriers Sunday in Vernon.

In the middle of the 2012-13 season, Josh Ellis was playing junior B hockey with the North Okanagan Knights, uncertain of which direction his career was going to take.

A year and a half later, the Kelowna Minor Hockey product is celebrating an RBC Cup championship.

Ellis and another former Okanagan Rockets forward, Cortlan Procter, helped push the Yorkton Terriers to victory last weekend at the Canadian Junior A Hockey Championship in Vernon.

The Terriers, the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League champs, prevailed over the Carleton Place Canadians 4-3 in overtime in Sunday’s national final at Kal Tire Place.

“It’s pretty surreal,” Ellis, 19, said Wednesday from Yorkton. “You couldn’t have written it

any better. It was lucky for me to end up with Yorkton, and I couldn’t have asked for anything more.”

Ellis, who served as captain of the B.C. Major Midget League’s Rockets for two seasons, began the 2012-13 campaign in the BCHL, but was released soon after by the Salmon Arm Silverbacks.

It wasn’t long after joining KIJHL’s North Okanagan Knights that Ellis’ career took another unexpected turn, as the Terriers called on the 5-foot-9, 170-pound forward to join the SJHL team for the remainder of the season.

If Ellis had finished last season in junior B, an education would likely have taken precedence over hockey.

“I was pretty fortunate, I was probably 24 hours away from finishing last season in junior B,” he said. “I showed up in Yorkton blind, the coach picked me up, I went to practise and here I am to-

day.”

Ellis went on to play the last 12 regular season games with the Terriers and 17 more in the playoffs, as Yorkton advanced to the Western Canada Cup before being eliminated.

This season, with a veteran roster in tact, Ellis and the Terriers rolled to the SJHL title and won the Western Canada Cup. In Vernon, Ellis, Procter and the Terriers capped a dream season in dramatic fashion with an RBC title.

“To come back late in the game and tie it, then win in overtime just shows the amount of character our team has,” said Ellis, who had an assist in six games at the national tournament. “We have some big hardware (rings) for our hands coming and the RBC medals, so it’s a pretty amazing finish to the season.”

Okanagan Rockets GM David Michaud said no player is more deserv-

ing of championship ring than Josh Ellis.

“Josh was the ultimate leader for us,” Michaud said. “Talking with Yorkton coach Trent Cassan, nothing has changed.

Josh is a heart and soul player and personally I couldn’t be happier to see him achieve the ultimate success in junior A. “Josh’s success paved the way for Cortlan Procter to go to Yorkton, and it will lead to more Okanagan Rockets heading there in the future,” Michaud said.

Ellis will return to the Terriers in 2014-15 as a 20-year-old for his final season of junior hockey.

Meanwhile, Josh’s older brother, Brendan, who played four seasons with the BCHL’s West Kelowna Warriors, just finished up his collegiate career this spring at Merrimack College, then played in one game for the American Hockey League’s Manchester Monarchs.

Charities win from Rockets/Kelowna firefighters campaign The Kelowna Rockets Western Hockey League season may have ended prematurely from a team standpoint, but it was big success for several local charities thanks to a campaign organized by the Kelowna Firefighters.

Together with the Rockets fans, the firefighters and its sponsors raised over $16,000 for charity by selling playoff whiteout T-shirts during the Rockets home playoff games.

“It was a very successful event for us,” said firefighter Patrick Barton.

“The money will go towards supporting several local charities. We’d like to thank the Rockets and our sponsors for teaming up with us on this event.”

The Rockets played eight home games through the WHL playoffs as the team ousted Tri City and Seattle before losing to Portland in the WHL Western Conference final.

Firefighters were on hand at each of the games, selling the whiteout T-shirts while the shirts were also on sale in the community through Mis-

WKB2354

sion Sports and Valley First Credit Union.

Barton said the money raised will be spread throughout several charities that the firefighters support including the Kelowna Food Bank, YMCA Strong Kids, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, Kelowna General Hospital Foundation, the Gospel Mission and Muscular Dystrophy.

It was the first time the firefighters had partnered with the Rockets for a charity T-shirt campaign and Barton said it

was very successful.

••• Kelowna General Hospital will be front and centre again this summer when former Rockets players gather in Kelowna for the 14th Annual Alumni Weekend.

This year’s Rockets Alumni Weekend takes place July 17 to 19 at the Harvest Golf Club, the Capital News Centre and the Eldorado Hotel.

Players and guests will gather for a live auction at a meet and greet at the Eldorado on July 17, before hitting the Harvest on July

18 for the annual Texas Scramble. Saturday July 19 will see the hockey game played at the CNC. Over the years the Rockets Alumni Association has raised over $350,000 for KGH and is in the midst of a multiyear commitment to raise $200,000 specifically for the KGH orthopedic ward, having raised $175,000 specifically for the KGH orthopedic ward in recent years.

For ticket information for the alumni event, contact the Rockets office at 250-860-7825.

Growing up in England, Joe Overton comes by his soccer skills naturally.

So it’s no surprise the 17-year-old Grade 12 student and captain of the Okanagan Mission Huskies senior boys soccer team has found a place to continue his soccer career once high school is over.

Overton has been offered a spot on the University of Calgary soccer team this fall after a recent tryout at the university went well.

“The way I grew up (in England) with my dad loving the sport and everyone around liking it, I became accustomed to it,” said Overton. “I played pretty much my whole life. It was part of the culture and part of your life.”

After moving to Kelowna five years ago, Overton brought his considerable soccer skill to OKM where he joined the senior boys soccer team in Grade 10 to begin a stretch of three straight provincial medals, winning bronze as a Grade 10, gold in Grade 11 and this year a silver as team

It was the first three years of the senior boys program at the school and Overton says the team really came together with a lot of skill and determination.

“The way we bonded as a team and came from nowhere to winning gold was amazing,” he said.

“We won the first banner in 21 years for the school and that was a huge deal for us as a team and as a school. No one expected it from us so it was really cool.”

to the University of Calgary as Overton will follow in the footsteps of 2011 captain Robin Whittaker and ‘12 captain Andrew Stevenson at the U of C. For Overton, the offer to come to Calgary comes after a couple of years battling through ankle injuries. Now 100 per cent healthy, Overton was invited to the university to train, play an exhibition game and go through fitness testing before the coaching staff offered him a red-shirt position in the first year, meaning he still has to work his way onto the top team in Calgary.

But the session motivated the 6-foot-1, 185 centre-back to get better over the summer.

“The coach liked the fact I’m big and strong

and can win headers and tackles,” said Overton of the feedback he received.

“He talked to me about fitness. That needs to be improved as well as my speed in my first 10 yards of running.”

With the high school season behind him, Overton is currently playing for Thompson Okanagan FC’s Under-18 team and plans to work hard this off-season to get in better shape and work towards a full time spot at the University of Calgary when he reports in the fall.

“It’s going to be a big challenge for me but if I keep working on my fitness and my game, hopefully I can earn a starting spot in a year or so,” he said. “I love the idea of a challenge.”

In its first game, Kelowna dominated Prince George en route to a 3-0 win as Olivia Kalashnikoff and Sophia Clarke staked the local team to a 2-0 lead. Chelsey Macaulay added the insurance in the second half while keepers Amy Richardson and Paige Cates shared the shut-out.

at bay until the Heat offense got going. It wasn’t until the 40 minute mark that Sophia Clarke converted a Cates’ throwin. Then Cunningham chipped the Vernon keeper for a 2-0 victory. The back line, anchored by Georgia Insley, Juliet Webster and Cates had their best game of the tournament leaving their 2nd half keeper, Amy Richardson, with very little action.

Kelowna United U11 Girls - Burn The Kelowna Burn entered the Kamloops Slurpee Cup with a lot of positive momentum, having won gold medals at the Penticton Spring Cup and Lake Country Icebreaker tourneys and with only two losses the entire season. Their first opponent was a team from Williams Lake, and the Burn made quick work of them, notching a 5-0 win with Krysha Czenczek and Lauren Voros each netting two goals. The second match of the day saw them pitted against a team from Vernon. Kelowna dominated the proceedings again, registering a comfortable 4-0 victory on the back of two more goals from Vor-

os. Sunday saw them facing an unfamiliar opponent from Abbotsford in the MFM Storm. This was a more competitive match and the game was closer than the final score suggested. In the end, the Storm simply could not penetrate the stifling Burn defence, nor could they stop the counterattack.

Chalk up another 4-0 win for the Burn. The final game saw the Burn pitted against Scottish United from Edmonton. The Kelowna side dominated possession and had seven or eight excellent chances that they couldn’t convert.

But then, with 10 minutes remaining, Brooklyn Piche broke through the defense on a through ball from Jaidyn McGrath and scored, giving Kelowna a well-deserved 1-0 victory as the Burn went 4-0 at the tournament.

Kelowna United U11 Girls - Wreckers Through mostly torrential rain, the Kelowna United Wreckers won their division at the Slurpee Cup with tight defense allowing only two goals against in the entire tournament.

Two POE alumni currently play in the NAHL, Josh Bowes (2009-2012) with the Johnstown Tomahawks and Chris Koukis (2009-2012) with the Wenatchee Wild. Duhaime will look to become the third player in the fall.

he May long weekend holds significance for me in a clash of causes.

My marvellous mother’s mentorship in the garden was mainly conducted in the month of May, when she was bee-hiving busy planting, weeding, and generally putting about the property with a plant in one hand and a bucket of dirt in the other.

Mom could torrentially pour out wise old clichés and euphemisms about growing flowers and vegetables, and I soaked up her words as best I could.

I recall her insistence that the majority of vegetable seeds planted after the May 24 weekend were ‘pretty much a waste of time.’ She was also big on planting in the cool of the evenings.

Guess where Tez and I have been the past month?

The weeds are still winning, but I admit to finding a true peace when toiling in the soil.

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge Gardens have always been a sanctuary for me; places to heal, slow down, enjoy and remember.

My garden was one of the first places I turned to some 34 years ago on May 21, when one of my dearest companions died.

Butch had spent the night at my house, after helping wife Catherine and I move into a mobile home on a country lot in Tappen, near Salmon Arm. We worked hard moving boxes and furniture and finally went to bed late. In the morning, we shared a cup of coffee and Butch drove off towards his home in Kelowna.

He never got there.

Apparently Butch fell asleep while driving along the winding highway near

Wood Lake, hit the rock face and rolled his car.

His senseless, tragic death hurts nearly as much today as it did then, and I truly know that Kelowna lost a very fine person.

Butch died way too soon and to this day it still makes no sense for most.

I still miss my first ‘brother by choice’ and pretty much every couple of years I write about him come this time of year.

It’s almost like my annual migration but on a human healing journey instead—a mental migrations of sorts upon which I invite readers to ride along.

So why do I lament this tale yet again this year.

Well, as Butch would have wished, his crushing demise did make a huge difference and impact in the lives of many around him. Certainly it impacted buddies Jim and Ralph, and Butch’s family including sister Karie.

His death altered much of how we’ve con-

ducted our lives, formed our thought processes, and made our choices.

I know that several times over the years when I felt lost about an issue I would ask myself what Butch would have suggested, or how he would approve of my choice.

Butch’s memory reminds me regularly just how precious life really is and that none of us truly know how, when, where, or why it will all be taken away.

Butch reminds me of the value in everything: Every breath, every day of sunshine (and every day without sunshine for that matter), the true value of friends and family, and the marvel in something as simple as a snail.

Or a flower in bloom.

His memory is another good reason why I am often discovered hiding out in the garden a lot in around the May 24 weekend.

I have lots of life to plant and contemplate and some great mentors to keep me company.

XUNANTUNICH, a grand Mayan ruin in the rolling countryside of western Belize’s Cayo District, had its heyday around 600-850 A.D.

Mayan glory days echo at Belize’s Xunantunich ruins Ellen Creager CONTRIBUTOR

XUNANTUNICH, Belize—It’s not as famous as Mexico’s Chichen Itza. It’s not as tall as Guatemala’s Tikal.

But here in western Belize, the Xunantunich Mayan ruins will make your jaw drop.

And maybe your palms sweat.

Pronounced shoe-NAN-to-nitch (or as some tourists mangle it, Tuna Sandwich) its name means “stone maiden.” The dominant structure, El Castillo, is notable not only for its elegant friezes of hieroglyphs depicting rulers and gods, but for the fact that visitors can still climb to the top of the 130-foot temple, if they dare.

Unlike at Mexico’s Chichen Itza, which was closed to climbers in 2006 after a woman fell to her death, Xunantunich’s climb is done in bits and pieces, with plenty of flat places to stop— and even a handrail staircase for the final descent.

Still, it’s not for everyone.

“I’m afraid of heights,” one tour guide confessed as he stood in the shade on a plaza halfway up, watching the rest of his group ascend to the very top. “The view is still good from here.”

Reachable independently by car or as a daytrip excursion for cruise ships docked in Belize City, Xunantunich is one of Belize’s top attractions, although many Americans have never heard of it.

The entrance near the village of San Jose Succotz is surrounded by small shopping kiosks selling crafts and textiles. From there, every person, vehicle and animal must cross the Mopan River on a hand-cranked ferry to enter the park.

Then it is a 1-mile uphill trudge to the visitors plaza (or a swift ride in a mini-bus, highly recommended in this humid climate where the average temperature is 88 degrees.)

From there, you walk a bit farther, past a gift shop, a brand new visitors center that opened March 21, groves of allspice trees, then onto a grass-covered plaza and the humbling sight of El Castillo.

In Xunantunich’s heyday, roughly 600 to 900 AD, “the walls would have been white-

washed plaster and almost certainly painted,” says Jason Yaeger, University of Texas at San Antonio professor of anthropology, who has spent every summer for 23 years in and around Xunantunich. The site spreads out with 26 structures and multiple plazas, many still uncovered.

In terms of importance, “It is a middle-sized site, not as big as (Guatemala’s) Tikal certainly, but at certain times in its history, it was the capital of an autonomous kingdom.”

Although many people think Mayan culture was restricted to what is now Mexico, the grand kingdoms of the first millennium spread

This region of rolling hills and rivers looks a lot like Pennsylvania, except with monkeys. It seemed somehow familiar. Relaxing. Some researchers believe Xunantunich was more of a royal ritual getaway, like a country place

For Yaeger, a Decatur, Mich., native, it is worth spending extra time in the region to see not only Xunantunich and other ruins, but also Actun Tunichil Muknal (in English, Cave of the Crystal Sepulchre), thought by the ancient Maya to be an entrance to the underworld.

The cave was rediscovered in 1989.

“It’s an all-day adventure tourism trip,” he says. “You hike through jungle and swim a river to get to a cave, then walk through an underground stream for a quarter-mile, then climb into a giant chamber where the Maya left offerings. Sac-

There are many small hotels/resorts near the tourist town of San Ignacio. The region also is a popular American retiree region. For more on Cayo, see www.belize. com/cayo.

Restoring a rare Mustang to magnificence Everybody remembers their first car but very few people hold onto that set of wheels long into adult life.

Tsawwassen resident Laura Ballance still has her 1967 Ford Mustang T5 but it has not turned a tire in years and has fallen into a state of disrepair.

The public relations executive’s passion for automobiles began at an early age, growing up in a household with a father who was very interested in cars four, she and particularly the Ford marque.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!

Safety Tip: As high school seniors prepare for graduation, it’s important that parents make sure their teens are also planning for a side ride home after all of their festivities.

Grads often treat themselves to limousine rides but make sure they have a plan if they’ll be going to any other celebrations.

How to get noticed in Monaco Monte Carlo, Monaco: Everywhere you look, wealth abounds.

The parking spaces in front of the Hotel de Paris and Casino Monte Carlo, Monaco, are filled with vehicles no less than $200K. Or should I say 200,000 Euros?

I’m feeling a lot out of place.

Ferraris, Maseratis, Bentleys, Porsches, Bugattis (yes plural) and other exotic vehicles seem to be a dime a dozen, as it were!

Even the taxis are premium

makes and models.

The occasional “affordable” vehicle (like a 3 Series BMW or an Audi A5) manifests itself, but they already know they won’t be getting the premiere parking spots in town.

So how do you get noticed in an area where such opulent sheet metal resides?

A place where spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a vehicle is the unwritten rule, and even that might not be enough for a second glance.

Within moments of parking these bikes, crowds amassed. Never mind the Porsche GT2 RS a few metres away.

A flock of Carbon Whitetrimmed Diavels set out to congregate in the main plaza of Monte Carlo. That’s where our press briefing would take place.

On the way to the gathering point, the adventure took us through a section of the F1 Grand Prix track.

Hairpins, winding roads and silky smooth tarmac paved the way for us.

A reflective feeling overrides my senses while manipulating the same roads as some of motorsports’ greatest driver. It’s surreal.

For a moment, I feel like a champion. Though, that moment lasted longer than I anticipated.

The Bologna-based brand’s revised sport cruiser is one that commands attention.

Even if you don’t want to look, its black hole-like nature won’t let your gaze escape. Besides, you’ve already been hooked by its exhaust note and the mellifluous sound from its 1,198 cc engine, so it’s too late to even attempt to look away.

Within moments of parking these bikes, crowds amassed. Never mind the Porsche GT2 RS a few metres away. Never mind the Ferrari California with pristine paint and glimmering rims. The Ducatis are stealing all the attention and for good reason.

Styling-wise, they have matured since its introduction in 2012. Though it is immediately recognizable, it

HW Y9

When Honda launched its fourth generation Odyssey in 2011, it described the minivan as ‘the ultimate in family transportation’.

Odyssey has become an industry benchmark for minivan interior versatility features, fuel economy and its agile driving dynamics.

While the market for new minivans has been shrinking in recent years, it’s still a sizeable in Canada. A used Odyssey is a sought-after premium product that will probably cost a little more, but historically it also retains its value exceptionally well.

Compared to its predecessor, the 2011 Odyssey offered improved fuel economy due in part to a more aerodynamic shape that’s wider and includes a lower roofline. Offering seating for up to seven (or eight) occupants, this Odyssey also came with a new “3-mode” second-row seat design and an easier to use fold-away 60/40 split 3rd-row seat. Even its third row seat provides ample head and legroom for adults and a surprisingly high degree of comfort.

Its stylish “lightning-bolt” body belt line, that zig-zag just aft of the sliding door, also cleverly provides third row passengers a larger window.

A bigger part of the fuel economy improvement story was the new 3.5-litre i-VTEC V6 engine that came with Variable Cylinder Management (VCM). The VCM technology allows the engine to operate on just three or four of its six cylinders when power requirements are low, such as highway cruising.

When linked with a sixspeed automatic transmission in the Touring edition of Odyssey it can achieve best-in-class city/highway fuel economy, rated at 10.9/7.1 L/100km (city/ highway). The same engine comes standard with a fivespeed automatic transmission in all other trim levels of Odyssey, which are LX, EX, EX-RES and EX-L. The Touring edition, which is considered the most luxurious Honda minivan ever, came with a 16.2inch ultra-wide screen rear entertainment system, a cool box for beverages, a multi-view rear-view camera with parking aid lines, a Blind Spot information system and auto-leveling HID headlights.

Odyssey also comes with an audio-based Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) system and a chassis-based

The words performance and Volvo rarely appear in the same sentence but the new 2015 V60 Sportswagon R-Design should change the perception that the Swedish manufacturer is only capable of producing reliable and safety conscious products to the exclusion of excitement.

This performance oriented T6 AWD version pumps out 325 horsepower, topping the base T6 by 25 horses and a massive 75 more than the four-cylinder and fuel efficient base T5.

A week aboard this wagon showed it to be a very sporty machine on the highway and at its utilitarian best in the city.

Combine some paddle shift action with the auto transmission in Sport mode and you can push the car from zero to 100 klicks in about six seconds. Taking the V60 at speed around the twisties along the Sea to Sky Highway demonstrated its excellent road holding and handling capabilities, courtesy of corner traction control. Ergonomic seats ensure the driver is also firmly gripped in those

corners. Gee, I forgot I was in a Volvo.

But before we run away with the idea that Volvo has abandoned what it is best known for; it should be mentioned that there is an option to add the world’s first Cyclist Detection and auto brake technology to the line! – That most certainly makes it a Vancouver car, given that city’s love for all-thing-cycling.

good too. A wide grille greets you and the classic Volvo-V shaped sculpted hood is still there but cleaner contemporary styled lines that flow back towards the traditional taillights support it.

Inside the designers drew cues from contemporary Scandinavian furniture, featuring wood and leather.

The rear seats fold down in three 40/20/40 segments so adding still more space to the already generous 430 litres to the rear of the seats. Parents of young children will like the two-stage pop up integrated booster cushions.

Volvo has 60 years of experience producing wagons and that shows in this line.

factor in the R-Design version is a smart move for a company trying to win new friends among affluent car buyers. Make no mistake these are prestige vehicles with a fitting price tag.

The base four-cylinder models start at around $42,000 and the R-Design driven by your truly topped $51,000.

I’ve also driven – if briefly – other Volvos equipped with the new Drive-E four-cylinder engines, mated to 8-speed auto transmissions, and they are remarkable.

They offer a performance more akin to a typical 6. So, give the base models a shot if you are not looking for a pulsating ride in a Volvo.

Safety Recalls Honda Odyssey: 2012/2013: The brake-shift interlock may not function properly at low temperatures and could allow the transmission gear shift lever to be moved out of the PARK position without depressing the brake pedal.

Depending which gear the driver selects, the vehicle could begin to move forward or backward immediately. Dealers will replace the gear shift assembly stopper.

2011/2012/2013: The airbag cover may not have been adequately secured to the driver’s airbag module. As a result, the airbag may deploy with an irregular shape, or the cover may detach during deployment.

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the driver’s airbag module.

2011: If the wiper blades become frozen to the windshield, and the wiper motor is switched ON, one of the wiper rods could bend or separate from the motor (due to insufficient stiffness of the rod). Dealers will replace the windshield wiper rod. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.

2014 BMW X5: Changes subtle but significant This all-new BMW X5 is the latest version of the mid-sized luxury SUV that helped the manufacturer expand into markets beyond those where luxury, performance sedans reside.

Some younger readers might not remember a time when BMW, and other German makers, never had SUVs. But it wasn’t too long ago that the original X5 came out and transformed the Bavarian automaker into more of a full-line manufacturer. Ever since they started making SUVs, their sales have not retreated.

As is stands right now, the X5 combines two classes of SUV, the mid-size 5-seat market and the 7-seat marketplace. Truth be told, this should really be looked at as a 5-seater, there will be a new, bigger 7 passenger BMW coming in the next year or so.

Looks When you look at this new model, it is instantly recognizable with just small changes such as more accent lines. I had a

chance to park it next to the smaller X3 and, other than the front grille and headlights, they share a striking resemblance to each other, this is just a bigger version of that wildly popular SUV. All X5 models come standard with 19-inch wheels but BMW packages their products to be offered with bigger wheels depending on whether they want the sport package or not.

Around the back, the same clamshell lift gate found on the last two versions remains intact. The top flips up and the bottom drops

down. It makes it a reach to get inside the cargo area but many owners like this feature for sliding items in and out and being able to sit on the tailgate.

Inside The inside of the X5 is a study in small changes that pay big dividends. The centre screen is huge, the iDrive controller is bigger and navigating around this system is much easier than it has been in past versions.

The materials used inside the cabin are first rate. The wide and relatively flat dash makes the cabin feel huge and the big comfortable seats make for an effortless place to spend time.

As mentioned, the X5 can be equipped with a third row of seats but they are not that great for space, the GL-Class from Mercedes is a much better option.

When equipped with a just 5-seats the cargo space is vast, this is a big rig.

Drive There are three different version of the X5, two that are very popular and the V8 version that is almost overkill. My test unit was the Xdrive 50 and it’s powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4L V8 engine. This produces a whopping 445hp and 479 lb.-ft. of torque.

And this thing flies, it is so fast and stable, it makes this big rig dance in every situation. In addition, there are various driving modes that setup the engine’s

response, the steering feel and the suspension stiffness. Even in the most relaxed setting this V8 engine is always up a quick passing manouevre. Yes this is a blast to drive but 445hp is a lot, maybe too much.

For gasoline buyers the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo model is more practical. With 300hp and 300 lb-ft. of torque, the XDrive 35 can make a run to 100km/h in just 6.6 seconds. Not bad for a 6-cylinder. The XDrive 35d turbo diesel should prove to be the most popular. The 3.0L diesel has 413 lb.-ft. or torque and sips fuel. The diesel X5 can make a run to 100km/h in 7.6 seconds but achieves just 8.7L/100km in mixed city and highway driving. All models come with an 8-speed automatic to help get the most out of each litre of fuel.

Verdict All X5 models can be equipped with several

different packages like sport packages, luxury packages and more. So starting at $63,000 and up, the base price can be a bit misleading. This is an expensive product but a superbly well designed and engineered one. To be honest, other than the price, there is a lot to like here, this is a great BMW. It is so well put together, it drives superbly and it comes with three equally good engines.

If you are in the market for a big luxury SUV, the new X5 does a lot right. zack.spencer@drivewaybc. ca

The famous Mille Miglia rally in Italy was packed full of famous cars and equally famous drivers this past week.

But when it comes to prodigious competition histories paired with A-list names, the combination of Jaguar Heritage Racing’s 1951 Ecurie Ecosse XK 120 roadster with Jay Leno and Ian Callum was hard to beat.

Well, maybe. Regular Driveway readers will recall that yours truly and my friend George Holt did the recent Hagerty Spring Thaw rally around BC in a 1954 XK 120 roadster.

But I digress.

Recently retired late night show host, Jaguar collector and classic car enthusiast, Leno, and Jaguar Design Director, co-driver Callum, are legends of the automotive industry—and at the famous road endurance rally, the rare roadster complemented their

Busy housing markets and low interest rates tend to attract first-time home buyers.

These aspiring new homeowners—whether they’re young couples, singles, or families— often ask notary publics for trusted guidance on their 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, and is predicting continued strong sales while interest rates are low.

BC Notaries can provide conveyancing and other real estate-related services to both home buyers and sellers, and spring is a particularly busy season for those services.

“There are a few things that have influenced strong real estate sales in addition to low-

er interest rates,” said Society of Notaries Public of BC president Akash Sablok, based 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.”

B.C. Notaries offer these tips for first-time home buyers to consider: 1. Obtain pre-approval for a mortgage before setting a price range and remember that if your circumstances change, such as changing jobs, so might your eligibility.

2. If your family is providing a loan or other assistance, make sure you’ve considered all the possible implications and

outcomes to avoid confusion or conflict later on, with the help of a legal professional if necessary.

3. Develop a costing sheet that anticipates all related costs in addition to the cost of the home itself. Ask the various professionals with whom you are working to review it for you, including your realtor, mortgage broker or lender, Notary and mover. Then allow an extra $1,000 for unexpected expenses.

4. Allow for fees for transfer of utilities. Make sure you understand which municipal taxes and other fees will come due—and when.

5. When making an offer on a home, include subjects (requirements that must be met to proceed with the purchase) and realistic time frames that will allow you to ensure you have financing in place, have the home

inspected, and have time to review strata council meeting minutes, if applicable.

6. Always have the home inspected by a professional before finalizing the purchase. While sellers are required to disclose any major problems, that doesn’t always happen.

It’s buyer beware.

7. To find out if you qualify for a first time home buyers’ tax exemption, check with Canada Revenue Agency.

8. Don’t lock into a mortgage term for longer than you think you will own your new home. For example, if you plan to own it for two years, don’t take out a five-year mortgage. The penalties for discharging a mortgage early can be quite costly.

9. If buying into a strata property, it is important to carefully review the strata council minutes for the past two years. En-

sure you can live with existing rules and bylaws, particularly those related to pets, parking, smoking and noise.

10. If you’re buying with a spouse or partner, make sure you understand the considerations around shared ownership and make a decision that will work best for you in the long run. A notary can help you with the details.

“Buying your first home is a very exciting personal milestone,” said Brendon Rothwell, a notary public in Kelowna.

“It’s natural to be more interested in square footage, layout and location than in conveyancing, insurance and strata regulations.

“That’s why it’s so important to work with a legal professional who is qualified and experienced to protect and secure this important purchase,” Rothwell said.

Cutting down a live tree does not kill it. It re-grows from the roots.

Other drought-tolerant tree seedlings to watch out for and remove quickly are Tree of Heaven (easily recognized by the stinky smell of leaves and branches when rubbed) and Russian olive.

In our irrigated landscapes, maple seeds germinate well and can grow quickly in the same difficult places the other tree seedlings populate.

I

t needs to be said that the days of multiple offers on homes for sale have returned as buyers with a real estate agent can’t book house showings soon enough before offers start coming in.

For example, the real estate team that I work for at Re/Max Kelowna recently had an out-of-town buyer make the trip here to the Central Okanagan for her house hunting search.

A very educated buyer, she has been fallowing the Kelowna real estate REAL ESTATE market for some time RUNDOWN now, doing the research to find a home that might best suit her needs.

This client was searching for a sinCeinwen gle-family home in the Morgan up to $600,000 range from Peachland to Lake Country, so there was an abundance of possible matches for her.

That is until she realized just how hot the Kelowna real estate market had suddenly become. She had handpicked 21 properties to initially check out, only to discover 11 of them had already been sold.

Taking another run at her selection process, she target four more properties, only to find out two of those properties had also been sold.

The sales stats for April reflect the continued predicted for increased sales numbers, up already 22 per cent over the same month last year. That’s 216 properties sold this April compared to 216 for April 2013.

What’s going on in the Central Okanagan market now is buyers are feeling the heat of competing bids coupled with a below average inventory level and continuing low interest rates.

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Kelly Kubik, with the Investors Group, who was expressing the urgency for buyers to take advantage of the record low interest rates now being offered.

“As a consultant working with Investors Group, I am very pleased to hear about the variable rate mortgage rates that Investors Group Financial announced last week of 1.99 per cent,” he noted.

“I personally feel this is a great opportunity for firsttime buyers and buyers in general to get into the market with these record low interest rates.”
