he excerpt from Nick Hornby’s Fever Pitch (left) sums up the feelings of those who will have their eyes glued to TV sets over the next month, watching the 2014 FIFA World Cup unfold in Brazil. The world’s biggest soccer—or, more appropriately, football—tournament is expected to be watched by billions globally. A few million of those viewers will be Canadian, despite the fact Canada’s last World Cup appearance was in 1986. But according to the CBC, the official Canadian broadcaster of the tournament, World Cup viewership in Canada is on the rise.
Coverage of the 2010 FIFA World Cup final in South Africa brought in an average audience of 5.1 million: A 105 per cent increase from the 2006 World Cup final ratings. It’s a trend that doesn’t surprise passionate fans, and one some Okanagan businesses hope to cash in on. In this week’s Close-up, Capital News reporter Wade Paterson checks in with a local fan headed to Brazil for the tournament, interviews a diehard Ghana supporter and finds out how local businesses plan to feed the footy appetite.

ost of Guilherme Rodrigues’ friends and family are in Brazil, cheering on their home country in the 2014 FIFA World Cup. But he didn’t look lonely Thursday as dozens of his new Kelowna friends stood and cheered beside him, waving Brazilian flags and yelling at the TVs in Rivals Sports Theatre and Grill. “For me, the World Cup is very important,” says Rodrigues. “I’m very happy; I’m very nervous. Football is my favourite sport.” Gabriel Nery, also from Brazil, stood beside Rodrigues, yelling at the TV screen for most of the opening match. Although English isn’t his mother tongue, Nery manages to relay his thoughts about the tournament.
“Football: It’s the best, for me.” Rodrigues, Nery and their fellow supporters watched Brazil win the opening match 3-1 over Croatia. “Brazil, (they’ll be) champion this year,” says Rodrigues. ••• Rodney Goodchild will be boarding a plane to Sao Paulo in less than a week for a trip that’s been in the works for years. The sales and marketing manager at Okanagan Spirits discussed the dream of travelling to Brazil for the World Cup with a friend of his two years ago. Goodchild knew he wouldn’t likely travel to Russia to watch the tournament in 2018, nor Qatar in 2022. The the more they discussed Brazil in 2014, the more the dream became reality. The clincher came when his friend mentioned the idea to his wife, and “she didn’t say, ‘No.’” Goodchild and two others proceeded to book

their flights; however, at that stage, there was no way of knowing if they’d be lucky enough to purchase tickets to any matches. And even if they were, they had no idea what matches they would get. “The excitement really came when we entered the lottery for the tickets,” says Goodchild. All three friends applied for sets of three tickets to various matches. Then they waited, checking their e-mails often. “Two of us failed to get anything, but one of the guys got two games.” Goodchild had no idea at that point what teams would be playing in the games he had purchased tickets to, but he knew he’d see at least some World Cup action in Brazil. Another lottery took place last November, but the trio struck out at the chance to purchase more tickets. However, they snatched up tickets for two more games in the final lottery draw.

FIFA drew the World Cup groups last December before they knew what teams would be playing in the matches they bought tickets for. He equates watching the final draw to being a child on Christmas morning. “You get to a certain age in life where there are very few surprises…but genuinely not knowing which games you’ve got—it was proper excitement.” As luck would have it, the three soccer fans purchased tickets to a few exciting match-ups. The first match they will watch is Uruguay vs. England in Sao Paulo June 19. Although Goodchild was born in Northern Ireland, he has lived in England and been to several Premier League matches. “To get an England game is pretty exciting. I’ve seen competitive games, but certainly not any in an international tournament.”

tomers. The owner of Tonic’s Pub has been playing the friendly matches on his big screen TVs in the
lead-up to the official World Cup start, and it’s drawn in a steady stream of footy fans looking for a group-watching experience. “People are really excited about it, there’s a huge soccer market in Kelowna,” he said. “You don’t hear a lot about it usually, but with the World Cup coming every four years, excitement builds.” The event anticipated to really bring the first bumper crop of fans, is Saturday’s England match. The pub has seating room for more than 150, and there’s a distinct possibility that every seat will be filled. Sintichakis, however, will have watched his first game long before the downtown pub opens its doors. As his name may have already given away, he’ll be cheering for Greece on Saturday and their match begins at 9 a.m. While Tonic’s isn’t opening for early games, there are a number of other stops in the city that are.

Cody Chambers, the general manager of Rivals on Bernard Avenue, said their pub will be opening early to accommodate the 9 a.m. games. At the Brazil/Croatia match that started the games Thursday, Rivals was already hopping with football fans, much to Chambers’s surprise. Those interested in imbibing for the earlier matches will also be able, as the pub has a morning liquor licence. Sturgeon Hall downtown will also be open, and welcoming customers keen on watching the games throughout the day and night. As one of the few pubtype environments that

World Cup hysteria ignited Celebrate from A3 Next the group will travel to Porto Alegre to watch South Korea vs. Algeria June 22, and then Nigeria vs. Argentina June 25. Finally, Goodchild’s crew head to Rio de Janeiro for a knockout stage match between the winner of Group C and runner-up in Group D. Although there is global excitement surrounding the tournament, it is juxtaposed with social unrest in Brazil. Protestors and police clashed Thursday morning in Sao Paulo, hours before the opening match of the World Cup. But for Goodchild, the excitement far outweighs any concerns of danger. “I don’t think I’ll have an opportunity to get to another World Cup any time soon.” ••• Joseph Otoo has already warned his friends and family they probably won’t be able to reach him during the next month. The 27-year-old Juice FM host plans on spending all of his spare time sitting in front of the TV, with his Ghanian flag nearby. “I live for this. It makes my soul so happy,” says Otoo. Otoo finished third last year in season five of Gillette Drafted: A reality TV show that saw aspiring sportscasters compete in hopes of landing a one-year contract with Sportsnet. Although soccer isn’t typically as popular with North Americans as hockey, basketball, American football and baseball, Otoo predicts inter-
est in the World Cup will gain momentum as teams progress further in the tournament. “I don’t think it’s lost on Canadians, I just think it will take a few weeks… the fever will spread as the tournament grows.” Born in Ghana in 1986, Otoo moved to Vancouver at the age of five. Although he has spent most of his life as a Canadian citizen, he “swells with pride” every time he gets the chance to watch Ghana play. But Otoo’s love for his team was put through heartbreak during the last World Cup in South Africa. Ghana was a penalty kick away from becoming the first African nation to advance to the World Cup semi-finals after Uruguayan Luis Suarez was given a red card for illegally stopping the ball with his hands to prevent a Ghana goal. The score was 1-1 with only seconds remaining in extra time. “I’ll never forget, I was standing on a table in Smithers, B.C., where I was working at the time…I was just ready to celebrate. “I’m thinking: Last kick of the game, we’re going to score the penalty, we’re going to be the first African nation in the semi-finals.” Asamoah Gyan took the penalty kick for Ghana, but kicked it too high and the ball struck the top of the crossbar and sailed over the net. Ghana went on to lose the match in a penalty shoot-out. This year, Otoo is optimistic about his team’s chances, even though they have been
placed in arguably the toughest group of the tournament. Ghana will play Germany, Portugal and the United States. “It’s a tough group, but I think they can go very deep if they can get out of their group stage.” No matter how far Ghana goes in the tournament, Otoo says the World Cup is the world’s best sporting festival. “People just get united. “It’s beautiful.” wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com

Available rental units sparse Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Things are looking up in Kelowna, unless you’re a renter. The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation released its annual Market Survey, highlighting that Kelowna is one of the most difficult places in the country to find rental accommodation. The rental rate dropped from 4.8 per cent in April 2013, to 1.5 per cent April 2014. “There are a number of factors that explain why the vacancy rate moved lower,” said Paul Fabri, market analyst with the Kelowna office
of CMHC. University enrolment rates have gone up and that’s brought more residents to the valley. In the last year fewer new, purpose-built rental buildings have come on stream. Also, the employment rate for the first five months of the year showed an uptick, which means there may be more people looking for homes in the area. The most pronounced change, however, is likely due to a rebounding real estate market. “The MLS home market has picked up and there have been increased sales of apartment condos.”
That’s likely come as a relief to the previously high number of Kelowna condo owners, who initially saw real estate as an investment. When the market plunged in 2008, the expectation of easy-returns was dashed. As they had to wait out the market flop, renters suddenly had a lot of selection and prices dropped. Of course, that sets off the second round of bad news for renters. “Average rents did edge higher, not a big increase. Overall the increase in average rent was measured at 0.7 per cent,” said Fabri. Nationally, things were much more stable.
The average vacancy rate for primary purpose-built apartments in Canada’s 35 major centres was 2.7 per cent in April 2014, unchanged from April 2013. “The stability of the national vacancy rate is due to supply and demand factors,” said Bruno Duhamel, manager of Economic and Housing Analysis. “Demand for rental housing continues to be supported by population gains from net migration and stable employment levels for young workers aged 20 to 24”. The Canadian average two-bedroom rent in new and existing structures was $930 in April 2014.
Day camps offered for locked out students Two groups are offering some potential relief for parents looking to relocate their kids while schools are shut down by striking teachers. At the H2O Adventure + Fitness Centre, staff have set up day camps for kids during the recent rotating strikes. And with the potential of the teachers walking out next week, the facility plans to start offering summer full and half day camps as early as Monday, June 16. H2O’s half- and fullday camp options include morning aquatic camps and afternoon theme camps—providing flexibility so parents can customize for their families. For more specific information about camp schedule times, contact the H20 member services at 250-764-4040 or check out the website www. ymcaokanagan.ca. H2O Adventure and Fitness Centre, located on Gordon Drive in Kelowna, is operated by the YMCA of Okanagan. Also stepping up to possibly help parents is Scouts Canada. Trained summer camp counsellors will be offering a day activity program at the Camp Dunlop facility, 5325 Lakeshore Rd. in Kelowna, from June 16 to 20. Because the regular school camp program offered by Scouts Canada in June has been cancelled, Scouts Canada camp counsellors are ready to offer a Day Camp program for youth ages 6 to 12 years in the event
schools are closed. For more information,

Nutritional Supplement Secrets A lot of people get confused about taking nutritional supplements. Everyone agrees that taking nutritional supplements is good for your health. But, not everyone agrees on what to take, how much, or even how often to take your supplements. There is a way to stop the confusion, and it starts with knowing who to listen to. This is the first secret to nutritional supplements. Many people today turn to the internet for their information. The internet gives you fast information, but there is a risk. It may come as a shock but not all the free information from “Dr Google” is accurate. You just don’t know
which information is wrong because it all looks so convincing and true. For accurate nutritional information you need to turn to trusted advisers. This is where I can help. I have been trained and licensed to advise you on your health in general, and on your nutritional needs in particular. The second nutritional secret is: to know what you need - you start with finding out what you already have. This requires nutritional testing. Nutritional testing is where the various nutritional supplement retailers usually fall
down. Sales people in health food stores, in multi level marketing, and in drug stores make their nutritional supplement recommendations based on what they think you may need. When I work with people with health conditions and suspected nutritional deficiencies I recommend nutritional laboratory testing. Lab tests along with a person’s health history allow me to determine what nutritional supplements will help that individual person with their health goals. The nutritional laboratory tests I recommend measure the levels of nutrients in a person’s body. Nutritional research has determined the
normal levels of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins, anti oxidants, and enzymes. When we compare normal nutrient levels with the levels we measure in a person we know right away what that person needs to supplement. Supplementation is straight forward after testing. If you have health concerns and you suspect you would benefit from nutritional supplements consider nutritional testing to find out what you actually need. It is so much better than just guessing.

the electoral area. “It has been my pleasure to work with the constituents, with the boards and staff of the regional district, our MLAs and MPs, the ministry of transportation and other provincial ministries,” he said. “Of the many concerns and things which I ran for, I am very happy to note that the majority of these issues were accomplished, are in the process of being worked on, or are planned. “I continue to be excited about the improvements in the Westside Road and in knowing that there is an improvement
plan in place for that road in the future.” During his time as director, Edgson has also been active with Okanagan Regional Library. He admits that his time on the RDCO board has changed his opinion about government. “When I retired from 32 years of service in the Alberta oil industry in 1998, I was not fond of government,” Edgson said. “Through working with wonderful regional district staff, I can honestly say we have the best local government in the province in the Central Okanagan.”

Driver’s own rules force family off bus
To the editor: I would like to express my horrible experience on the #8 bus on June 1, leaving UBCO at 1:05 p.m. in the direction of Okanagan College. It was the first time my husband and I took my two girls (a 1.5 year-old and a four year-old) on a bus for the YMCA Healthy Kids event. A couple of minutes after departure, our younger daughter started to spit up. We were worrying about messing up the bus, so we used our younger daughter’s dress to hold all the mess when she started getting sick. When she seemed settled, we wanted to change her top since all the mess was on her dress and we had a spare top. When we started unbutton our daughter’s top, the female bus driver shouted very loud: “Are you going to change her on the bus? You can’t do that! It’s not sanitary.” I replied that the baby was spitting up a little and we just wanted to change the top. The bus driver said “You just can’t, it is the not sanitary on the bus.”

Gene pool to the fore when it’s World Cup time
A
particularly harrowing episode with a tetherball in the fifth grade laid the groundwork for a lifelong dislike of all sports where my nose—or any noses—could be painfully buggered up. Even watching the likes of hockey, American football, ringette, water polo and so on, from the safety of my couch makes my front two teeth tingle in that anticipatory, fight-or-flight kind of way. So, needless to say, I’m not a huge sports fan. But there’s one exception to the rule and it got underway yesterday. World Cup. Now that’s a sporting event worth watching, regardless of the irritation of tingling teeth. On the field it’s basically a month
of people running back and forth over a huge expanse of green, rarely scoring. Oftentimes falling. Sometimes wailing. Tears, too. Where it gets realKathy ly exciting for a regular Michaels sports-loather like myself, is outside the pitch. A cornucopia of cultural gold is in that space, and it overflows onto the field in the most delightful dribs and drabs. Football commentators lead the way with their delightfully free expression of thoughts—often the type Canadians would deem borderline inappropriate. Then there are the people in the stands. They’re brimming with cultural insights that even the most intuitive museum curator couldn’t patch together.
KATHARTIC
The chants offer an unsettling walk through history. An eye-opening, notall-places-are-politically-correct-likeCanada type of walk, mind you. When the English play Germany, for example, they shout “Two World Wars and one World Cup.” Can you imagine that being said at an NHL game? No, you can’t. Canada’s less stellar representatives may be content to light their own cars on fire after a loss to an American team, but they’d never cheerfully rib the opposition with barbs about the War of 1812. Of course, they may not know what that is, but shortcomings in education are a different conversation. Ultimately, the best part about the fandom surrounding World Cup, I learned in Seoul, South Korea, for the 2002 event. It’s an opportunity to tap into your heritage, and be excited and proud
about the path your ancestors trod as their representatives take part in a game that isn’t always won by the country that has the most wealth. It’s kind of a breath of fresh air. I know the Greek half of me is super enthused come World Cup time. Several Greece FIFA shirts are crumpled in the bottom of my dresser, and this year I was excited to buy my newish small human his own tiny blue top. He’s a green-eyed ginger thanks to the genetic lotto, but when I say Greece, he points to his shirt and gives the toddler version of a shout out to 25 per cent of his bloodline. When they inevitably lose, we’ll switch things up and root for the English end of the gene pool. Come what may, our noses will never get out of joint. It is, after all, winor-lose, a beautiful game. And, a-hem. Go, Greece, go.

▼ PIPELINES
Prepare for a spill, don’t just say it won’t happen To the editor: In the last year or so there has been a lot of controversy and differences of opinion on the construction of the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline. Enbridge has spent millions of dollars on television commercials telling us how safe this pipeline will be plus of course all of the economic benefits it will bring to residents of B.C. both during construction and after. I read one interview with Enbridge managers which when asked what they would do if there was a pipeline rupture and a massive spill, they responded with:
“We do not anticipate a spill.” Well let’s face it, I am sure that none of the oil spills and disasters in history really planned on it happening, they just simply were not prepared to deal with the results in an efficient manner. The proposed pipeline from Bruderheim, Alberta, to Kitimat is approximately 1,400 kilometers (870 miles) long and has a diameter of 0.914 meters (three feet). That means that the volume of oil in the pipe when full is 918,904,000 litres (202,130,540 imperial gallons) or 4.5 times the volume of the Exxon Valdez.
I do not believe that any resident of Canada, not just B.C., would like to see that spread out across our landscape. I am not a hydraulic engineer but it seems to me that if they installed a pressure operated valve every 32 kilometers (20 miles) that not only shut off if there was a loss in pressure but shut down the two adjacent valves it would limit any major spills. The volume of oil in a 32 kilometre stretch is 21,056,000 litres (4,631,670 imperial gallons) and the location of the spill would be limited to a 32 kilometer search instead of the whole
pipeline. A quick response team would be able to contain the spill and repair the pipe with only minimal damage to the environment. I realize that installing 43 valves would probably add a few million dollars onto the cost of the pipeline, so instead of spending the money telling us how good it is going to be for us, why not spend the money on improving the system? Maybe then more people would be in favour of the project. Richard Callihan, West Kelowna
Economic benefit for all too great to bypass
To the editor: In April, the people of Kitimat voted 58 per cent against in a plebiscite on whether to support the Northern Gateway project. The anti-pipeline crowd has been celebrating their victory over “big oil” loudly and widely. They see it as a victory both in protecting the B.C. coast and in building a new relationship between progressive groups in Kitimat and the Haisla First Nation. What is confusing is the lack of acknowledgement of the environmental and human costs of this “victory.” At best, this is a win-lose outcome. 1 All across western Canada, resource development partnerships are creating tangible improvements in the quality of life for First Nations and remote communities. Companies like Rio Tinto, Alcan, Suncor and Cameco have supported
aboriginal economic and skills development, while also building prosperity that pays for schools and hospitals and services all over the West. The confidence and satisfaction that come from high quality employment—and the opportunity to shape environmental standards—are creating many scenarios that appeal to the best values of westerners. At the same time, in the emerging economies of the world, people are climbing out of poverty and demanding higher quality food, energy and materials. This reduction in poverty is reducing family size, which in turn offers the best hope for the environmental future of the planet. In fact, the most important environmental question we face is whether the benefits of lowering population growth through poverty reduc-
tion will happen quickly enough to counter the increased environmental footprint of global industrialization. The answer to that question isn’t starving the developing world of necessary natural resources and raw materials. Rather, it lies with technology and partnerships. None of that is advanced by simply opposing pipelines. It is tragic that environmentalists are often cast as ignorant zealots. We should celebrate the values of people who care deeply about, for example, the precious Douglas Channel. At the same time, it is absurd to think of oil companies as evil and greedy. What I see is a lot of people across Western Canada trying to do the right thing. Casting these complex issues as battles of good versus evil just means we all lose. Also, we should not
Can’t change child’s shirt on bus Kids on Bus from A10 I said that we weren’t changing her diaper; we just wanted to change the top because the baby’s top was dirty and wet. The bus driver shouted very loud: “You just can’t!” In order to change our child’s top we had no choice but to get off the
bus early at the next stop. And there is only one bus per hour on Sunday. We are wondering what ‘It’s not sanitary’ means. Which is less ‘sanitary,’ to leave the baby with dirty and wet clothes on or to get the baby changed and put the dirty wet clothes in a bag right away? We were so upset and
would like Kelowna Transit to show us the policies and explain why we can’t change the top of the baby after the baby spits up. But we’ve had no reply since we filed the complaint. Signed: A very upset and disappointed family. Wright family, Kelowna
celebrate a community process that just further polarizes a difficult discussion. The non-binding plebiscite exercise seemed a long distance from the ideal of a community gathering and taking the time to learn about and grapple with some complex questions. So, was there a win here at all? Will Douglas Channel be saved? With the adoption of double-hulled tankers, the risks presented by oil tankers are radically lower than in the days of the Exxon Valdez spill in Prince William Sound. It is extremely unlikely that there would be any harm to the marine ecosystem from Northern Gateway. At the same time, there is some risk. It is a legitimate view to say that risk is unacceptable. What is not legitimate is to deny the benefits
in what is a very complex debate. The opportunities to help eliminate global poverty, to create meaningful employment across the West, to build new positive partnerships between industry, community and First Nations people, to fund schools and hospitals and services, are meaningful. More resources should also be directed to technologies that can help reduce carbons in emerging economies. Others will have different views on what to do with the proceeds of our oil, but no one should think that simply “beating big oil” and avoiding these potential wins is anything but a pyrrhic victory.

WTFast’s three minute pitch had Metabridge participants cheering Thursday afternoon as the company tried to land the angel investors to make it the next big tech success story out of the Okanagan. Some 15 companies were given the opportunity to stand in front of a crowd with a $100 billion in venture capital and sell their technological solution to a problem. “For you startups, this is what we call a target-rich zone,” said Jeff Keen, out-going CEO of Accelerate Okanagan.

another local tech startup, but played master of ceremonies to the Okanagan conference started by Steve Wandler. Wandler founded Metabridge in 2009 as a means to solve the problems he had developing his own successful venture, YourTechOnline, which PC Magazine ranked the top online support company before it was acquired by Support. com, a company based out of the San Francisco tech niche, Silicone Valley. Metabridge helps Canadian startups accelerate their roots in California and it has grown to see strings of successful partnerships and funding arrangements, including a mentorship highlighted in a 15-minute session between MyTime founder and CEO Ethan Anderson and Summify founders Mircea Bogdan Pasoi and Christian Strat. Kelowna’s Rob
Barlett was the only local company to make the list this year of startups pitching a panel of judges before the well-heeled crowd; although some 83 companies, headquartered in cities from Halifax to Vancouver, did apply. “WTFast literally makes the difference between winning and losing at online games,” said Bartlett, explaining the company provides a private network for gamers to ensure they get game data faster than anyone else. With 100,000 users already, he will be using the weekend to secure the $400,000 needed to take his 20-employee company to the next level. What that level looks like was quite evident in George Karidis’s fireside chat with Keen, staged moments before.

New lake pump station improves water for Glenmore-Ellison The Glenmore-Ellison Improvement District completed the construc-

water from the McKinley Reservoir is then supplied to residents in the Glenmore Valley, including the Sexsmith, Wilden, and Quail Ridge areas, along with UBCO and the Kelowna International Airport. Until now, the main water source for the McKinley Reservoir has been creek water, along with ground water from various wells. Due to the introduction of Okanagan Lake water, most GEID customers should now see visible improvements in their water supply, especially in colour and taste. Additional improvements have been made to the McKinley Reservoir to reduce milfoil by contouring the shoreline in certain areas, to improve the general health of the
open reservoir. With the higher quality water being supplied from Okanagan Lake, GEID has now commenced the preliminary design for the Stage II upgrade. Stage II will see the installation of screening works and ultraviolet (UV) disinfection, along with an emergency bypass supply water main. The addition of UV disinfection will provide a second level of treatment as set by the Canadian Drinking Water Standards and enforced by Interior Health. Rough estimates for the Stage II works indicate a $6-7 million project; however the preliminary design report, expected to be completed by the end of August 2014, will provide a more accurate estimate.

sion mains to McKinley Reservoir. The lake intake is the deepest intake constructed on the lake to date, which will ensure that clear, clean, cold water is obtained. The new pump station has four 700 horsepower pumps, each of which is capable of pumping 240 litres (3,800 US gallons) per minute. The ultimate build-out of the pump station will see two additional pumps added, which will allow GEID to meet the water demands for population growth that is expected in the service area over the next 50 years or more. The district is now able to pump higher quality water from Okanagan Lake to the McKinley Reservoir. After disinfection,

Last year’s très chic picnic attracted over 600 cultural enthusiasts at the “The Point” in Kelowna’s City Park for a memorable soirée. “You need to circle this date, block off the calendar, book the babysitter and bring your best white elegance forward,” said Alison Love, co-organizer of the Dîner en Blanc, Okanagan. Love, who has been working in the marketing and communications industry for almost 30 years, successfully organised the first two editions with co-organizer Christina Ferreira.
To participate, guests must be invited by a member from the previous year or get on the official website’s waiting list. Once confirmed, each guest’s participation becomes mandatory, regardless of weather conditions, as the event goes ahead rain or shine. A tradition that is being morphed by Okanagan’s increased interest in all things epicureanfashion, design, gastronomy and entertainment. In essence, Dîner en Blanc promotes friendship, elegance and gallantry. This year, the event expects to host a great number of fashion and design aficionados and foodies alike. Guests are asked to dress elegantly in white, from head to toe, bring their own epicurean feasts, tables, chairs, fine china, silverware and white tablecloth. Over the course of the evening, the diners eat and celebrate amid live music, dancing, complete with festive white balloons. Visually breathtaking moments include the waving of a cloth napkin

to mark the beginning of the dinner, as well as the lighting of sparklers to let participants know they are now free to circulate, mingle and dance. When the trumpet call sounds the end of the evening, guests pack up their crystal, dinnerware and tables, pick up all their litter and head into the night, leaving behind no sign of their elegant revelry. Those interested in joining Dîner en Blanc’s guests in the Okanagan are encouraged to sign up quickly online at http:// okanagan.dinerenblanc. info/register as space is limited.

Three former best buddies and the two “it” girls they dreamed about come together for a memory-filled meeting before their 30th high school reunion.

The play is directed by Bonnie Gratz with a cast that includes Troy Berg, Kim Fournier, Kendra Hesketh, Brad Hull and Colm O’Reilly.

Joey Purpura has lived and breathed Neil Diamond since 2004, travelled across the country and parts of the Caribbean with his tribute show Diamond in the Rough. “I’ve always been able to do voices, as long as I could remember,” said the 39-year-old. “When I found out I could do a pretty good Neil Diamond, my friends encouraged me to go on stage.” The singer wasn’t on Purpura’s radar growing up and so he really started from the ground up. In 2002, the Toronto-based impersonator began researching the singer’s life, studying his every move, song and story behind the music. He found a Las Vegasbased designer able to replicate Diamond’s glittery costumes of the mid70s. “I wanted to research his life because I not only sing his songs, I tell a story and highlight his life just to make it more interesting,” said Purpura.

RCMP help shine a light on mental illness awareness with bike ride Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
No one is more well versed in the conditions that Canadians with mental health issues face than the two groups taking part in the Ride Don’t Hide event slated for later this month. The RCMP and The Canadian Mental Health Association have banded together to put on a community bike ride, aimed at awareness and funds for programs that help vulnerable area residents. “A lot of times people suffering from mental illness are dealing with the RCMP,” said Scott Davis, with CMHA. That means the two groups are often working in tandem to get those in need of intervention, into the right stream of the system. What would help, however, is a little intervention before conditions spiral out of control. Those who are finding
themselves dealing with the RCMP often have exhibited signs of mental illness in the past, but aren’t accessing the right resources because they’re hiding their struggles, said Supt. Tim Head, the acting district officer of the Southeast district of the B.C. RCMP. That’s why the two organizations working together to shine a light on mental illness and bust some damaging stigmas is a natural fit. Head said the Kelowna Ride will be starting and finishing at the Rotary Centre for the Arts, 421 Cawston Avee. Two cycling routes are available. A seven km family ride along the downtown Rails with Trails corridor will start shortly after the 40 km ride through the Mission. Registration will start at: • 8 a.m for the 40 km Route • 8:30 a.m for the 7 km
locations for winter and summer roosting habitat. The Okanagan Community Bat Program is asking for the public’s help in identifying structures where groups of bats roost. These are usually maternal colonies where females give birth to their pups. Interested residents who know of a bat colony can help participate in bat counts. The monitoring information is very valuable since there is very little known about local bat species and their population numbers. An additional concern is the potential arrival of White-Nose Syndrome, a devastating fungus that has already killed over six million bats in eastern North America.

SPORTS ▼ DEVELOPMENT CAMP
Dube, Jost and Kryski earn U17 invitations A Kelowna Rockets prospect and two members of the B.C. Major Midget League champion Okanagan Rockets have played their way on to Hockey Canada’s radar. Dillon Dube, Tyson Jost and Jake Kryski are among 96 players who have been invited to Canada’s national under-17 development camp this summer in Calgary. Dube, a first-round bantam pick of Kelowna in 2013, played last season with the Notre Dame Hounds in Wilcox, Sask., where he scored 21 goals and added 42 assists is 44 games, and scored another 13 points in 12 playoff games. As a 15-year-old rookie, Jost—a native of St. Albert, AB—set new BCMML and team records for goals (44) and points (88) during the regular season and was a key playoff performer on the road to the Okanagan Rockets winning bronze at the Telus Cup.

Tyson Jost
Jake Kryski
Kryski, from Vancouver, scored 16 goals and added 32 assists in 37 games and, like Jost, was a key contributor in the B.C. playoffs with 11 points in seven games. The camp, to be held July 29 at Aug. 4, will serve as part of Canada’s new under-17 structure, focusing on player development. Scouts will continue to watch these players, along with other 1998-born players across the country, and 66 will be selected to represent Canada at the 2014 World Under-17 Hockey Chal-
lenge, scheduled for Oct. 31 to Nov. 8 in a yet-to-bedetermined location. The tournament will be the first to feature three Canadian national teams (Black, Red and White). From 1986 to 2014, Canada was represented by five regional teams: Atlantic, Ontario, Pacific, Quebec and West. Current Kelowna Rockets assistant coach Dan Lambert served as coach of Team West last year at the U17s. He will return as a coach again this December for one of three of Canada’s teams.

Golf Digest: Ponderosa on ice; First female pro to play her age Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
Peachland’s planned championship golf course designed by Greg Norman’s design team won’t be coming online anytime soon. Construction on the resort golf course is about 60 per cent complete but is at a stand-still and has been for the past year due to a number of factors including the economy. And as of Friday the course is now operating without a general manager as Douglas Goubault has left Ponderosa for a
job in Edmonton with an investment company. “Construction on the golf course has been stalled for about a year as a result of lack of funding,” said Goubault, in an interview with the Capital News. “(The company) is only able to invest so much money and real estate is the core of the business so the community became a top priority.” Plans for a new golf course in Peachland began as far back as 2008 when the Greg Norman signature design team purchased the old Ponderosa and the land it was
on. Plans were announced for some 2,000 homes along with the championship golf course, however the project has suffered through many delays.

Goubault said the downturn in the economy was one of the factors in the slow build out. A wildfire also ripped through the under-construction course in 2012. Four holes were seeded at the end of 2012 and have grass while the rest of the holes are roughed in with the final four holes or so still needing to be constructed with more blasting work needed. Goubault says the entire course will likely need to be re-seeded though and he couldn’t provide a timeline for construction to get back underway.
Despite the delays Goubault says he still believes there is a place for the new Ponderosa in the Okanagan golf landscape and he expects the course to be completed at some point. “I believe in Ponderosa,” he said. “The golf course has a solid business model because of its location between Kelowna and Penticton. Golf is actually the heart of that project and I don’t see that as changing. It’s a focus of the development team and the community. There is a great effort in getting the golf course moving for-

Every experience, and there have been many, has been fun, relaxing and special. Over the years I e have escorted golf groups r to the Okanagan where s we have enjoyed the golf, the shopping, the cuisine and of course the best wines in the world.” You can help Golding n reach her goal.

TOYSL roundup Kelowna United teams are headed for Kamloops this weekend to take part in the Thompson Okanagan Youth Soccer League playoffs. Here’s a look at how United teams fared on the final weekend of the TOYSL regular season: • U16 boys—Kelowna United 0 Penticton 0 Both teams played a very strong first half, although KU controlled about the majority of the play. Kelowna had three good scoring chances but could not capitalize. Keeper Corey Bennett had a couple of brilliant saves, and Raj Parmar and Zach Bradshaw both had phenomenal games. • U15 girls—Kelowna United 3 Vernon 1; Kelowna 3 Penticton 2 With seconds left in the first half Saturday Avery Lawrence passed the ball up to Cait-
lin Kingsmill who sent a through ball to Kate Johnson for Kelowna’s first goal. After Vernon tied the game seven minutes into the second half, Kelowna’s Mackenzie Schwinghamer took a free kick to Kate Johnson to put Kelowna ahead with 10 left. Two minutes later Natalie Hope sent the ball up the line to Megan Greenlees, with a pass over to Kate Johnson, up to Angelia Ostrom for Kelowna’s third goal. On Sunday vs. the Pinnacles, Penticton opened the scoring taking advantage of the confusion in front of Kelowna’s net, but two goals by Kate Johnson put United ahead 2-1 at the half. Kelowna’s Angelia Ostrom scored in the second half, a goal that stood up as the winner as

Heat men add Richmond product Freund Completing the Heat men’s class of setters going into the 2014-15 season is Richmond’s Ethan Freund, who has committed to UBC Okanagan for its fourth tour in Canada West volleyball. Freund is natively an outside hitter, but his versatile skill set and 6-foot-3 frame are ideal for the setter position, a spot on the floor that he has always aspired to. “When the opportunity arose, I tried it and it was a great fit,” Freund reflected on the switch. “My favorite part of setting is running the team’s offense and being able to look at the game tactically.” Freund helped guide his high school team at Steveston-London to their
first ever senior boys’ volleyball provincials berth where they would finish fourth. For his efforts he was named a First-Team All-Star and has called it his favorite accomplishment yet. Freund’s coach and Director of Athletics at Steveston-London, Edmond Ma, has full confidence in the former’s ability to translate his success as a student-athlete at the high school level into post-secondary. “He already possesses the skills and maturity to compete at the CIS level,” said Ma. “As a team captain, he is very self-aware of the limits of his teammates and is able to command the best from each and every one of them.

Working out the stiffness associated with frozen shoulder
T
he shoulder joint is a complex joint with many moving parts. It is a common source of pain for many patients seeking help from their physician or physiotherapist. There are many causes of shoulder pain. These may include pain from the shoulder joint itself, the neck, or the upper back. Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, is an umbrella term used by many health care practitioners to describe a syndrome for shoulder pain with loss of range of motion. The most common age group is 45 to 60 and women tend to be more affected then men. There is usually a gradual onset with this condition but it can be

Adam Bernard from a trauma such as a fracture, post surgery, or from immobilization. In many cases it will affect one shoulder and then the other shoulder later on. Reoccurrence of the same shoulder is rare. The pain is usually described as dull and achy that increases with movement. Patients often note that they are not able to sleep on the affected arm. They may also report there is some relief with heat, warm showers, rest, and aspirin.
Two golfers survive 288 holes of golf to help ALS patients Gallagher’s Canyon golf professionals Jon Kadin and Jason Jurimae golfed 288 holes to raise awareness and funds for the PGA of BC Golfathon for ALS. Playing the Gallagher’s links on June 10, it took the duo 15 hours to complete the day-long round of golf, raising donations for ALS patient services. Gallagher’s Canyon was one of 40 B.C. golf courses participating in the Golfathon for ALS this year. Kadin and Jurimae are still accepting donations at the pro shop or online at www.golfathonforals.ca.
The condition goes through three defined stages and can last for a few months to several years. In Stage One, the pain predominates. Pain in or around the shoulder increases at the extremes of shoulder movement. Pain can be mainly at night and during rest. As stage one progresses the patient can no longer comfortably lie on the affected shoulder during sleep. Stiffness is usually not a problem in this stage. At Stage Two, pain decreases but the shoulder becomes stiffer. The patient can no longer perform many routine activities because the
arm cannot move in those directions anymore. At Stage Three there is little pain but the stiffness is now pronounced and the patient may experience some muscle wasting. Research on treatment of frozen shoulder is mixed. In many cases the treatment would focus on maintaining or improving range of motion, ice and heat, ultrasound, mobilizations or manipulations, exercises for strengthening, and normalizing function. Shoulder pain is a complex issue that can be caused from many different sources. If you are experiencing shoulder pain you
should see your physician or physiotherapist to help get an accurate diagnoses and hopefully minimize
the effects of the problem. Adam Bernard is a registered physiotherapist and associate at Sun City

NEWS ▼ FROM OTTAWA
Conservatives address veterans needs and prostitution bill T he House of Commons is currently sitting until midnight most days in order to get as much work done as possible before the summer recess. When that time comes, my colleagues and I will return to our ridings to work from our constituency offices. In the meantime, here is news on government funding to three of our local schools, the latest report from the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs, and new legislation that has sparked some robust discussion across the country.
COMPUTERS IN LOCAL SCHOOLS
Hundreds of thousands of young people will be given access to digital learning opportunities they otherwise did not have, thanks to a $36-million investment by the federal government, which will put about 280,000 computers in schools across Canada, and create around 1,000 training
opportunities for young people in all areas of digital technology. The Computers for Schools Program, an initiative that repairs, refurbishes and Ron then donates computCannan ers to schools, public libraries, and aboriginal communities gives students access to the equipment and skills they need to succeed in the digital economy. Local schools receiving computers are Heritage Christian School, Kleos Open Learning and Studio 9 School of the Arts (Vedanta). In partnership with Canada’s Youth Employment Strategy (YES), since its inception in 1993, Computers for Schools has also given over 6,000 young Canadians valuable experience in working with digital technologies. Last year, almost 7,500 computers were shipped to schools in British Columbia. This is in addition to the more than 135,000 computers that have been shipped to schools in the province and more than 1.3 mil-

VETERANS CHARTER REVIEW
On June 3, the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs tabled its unanimous comprehensive report on the New Veterans Charter. As the committee report noted: “The committee members unanimously agree that the principles of the Veterans Charter should be upheld and that these principles foster an approach that is well suited to today’s veterans.” The new charter is the product of over six months’ worth of meetings and deliberations by the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs. The committee heard from veterans, veterans experts, civilians, veterans’ family members, and representatives from the Equitas Society as they developed their 14 recommendations. Since our government came to office, there has been an increase of almost $5 billion in new funding for veterans. The next step is for the government to review the report and respond
PROSTITUTION LEGISLATION TABLED
On June 4, the federal government responded to the Supreme Court of Canada’s ruling in Canada v. Bedford to ensure that Canada’s laws and the criminal justice system continue to address the significant harms that flow from prostitution to those engaged in prostitution and to other vulnerable persons, while protecting Canadian communities. Bill C-36, the Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act, is a “made in Canada” model which directly targets the demand for this dangerous activity and involves a significant overhaul of the Criminal Code’s treatment of prostitution and related activities. It would: • Criminalize those who fuel the demand for prostitution, i.e.: purchasers of sexual services • Continue to criminalize those

Or measure the worth of a child’s delight as he watches kokanee fighting single-mindedly upstream to spawn in September? To some extent, yes, according to a report released in 2013 to help decision-makers in the Okanagan conserve and enhance the natural features and associated opportunities that make Mission Creek an invaluable asset. Entitled The Natural Capital of Mission Creek in Kelowna: The Value of Ecosystem Services, the report was prepared by Amy Taylor, Sara Wilson and Greg Sauer for the Mission Creek Restoration Initiative (MCRI). It outlines the many economic benefits provided by the creek today, and estimates how these could increase as a result of creek restoration. ••• Natural capital is the stock of natural resources—air, water, land, and all living things—that yields a flow of valuable ecosystem goods or services into the future. The value of natural capital is often excluded from current measures of progress, and is typically not considered when communities make landuse or policy decisions. As noted in the report, “The value a forest provides in controlling stream-bank erosion and sediment load in a river is not reflected in the market price of forest land or forest products. “Likewise, the value a wetland provides in purifying water and recharging an aquifer is not reflected in the price of water. “Unfortunately, in most cases the non-market value of natural capital is not recognized until services become so degraded or scarce that society is forced to pay to replace what was previously provided by nature at no cost.” The report concludes that in 2012, the lower 12 kilometres of Mission Creek between the East Kelowna bridge and Okanagan Lake provided ecosystem services of almost $19 million. These included the
annual economic benefits of natural services such as water filtration ($30,000), climate regulation ($660,000), and flood protection provided by forests, wetlands, and streams ($657,000). It also outlines the economic impacts of ecosystem services on human activities such as outdoor recreation ($12 million) and farming ($4.2 million). Interestingly, the report goes on to estimate that the restoration of Mission Creek, as planned by the MCRI, could result in a 10 per cent jump in ecosystem services, for a total of almost $21 million per year. ••• Much of the lower section of Mission Creek was diked for flood control in the 1950s. This has impaired natural stream flows and processes, and negatively affected fish and wildlife spawning, rearing, and overwintering habitats. Phase 1 of the restoration work involves setting
back the dike between Casorso Road and Gordon Drive on the south side of the creek, which will again increase the natural area and the ecosystem services generated. UBC Okanagan economist John Janmaat estimates “the yearly economic benefit of this project alone could be about $600,000, not including recreation or habitat values, nor any potential increases in expenditures on recreational fishing if kokanee stocks are increased.” “If the money for the project could be borrowed at a five per cent interest rate, then these ‘revenues’ could finance a loan of more than $12 million,” he added. “The benefits from this project are enough to justify a one-time expense of up to $12 million.” ••• Mission Creek is the most important spawning tributary for kokanee salmon and rainbow trout from Okanagan Lake.

RESTORATION WILL NOT ONLY REVIVE MISSION CREEK’S FISH HABITAT AND STOCKS, BUT HOPEFULLY ITS FISHERY AS WELL.
Historically, the creek produced 80 per cent of stream-spawning salmon and half of the trout, and supported a robust sport fishery. Sadly, the fishery was closed in 1995 in response to an 80 per cent drop in salmon stocks and 50 percent drop in trout stocks caused by things such as channelization and diking undertaken in the 1950s to reduce flooding. Restoration will not only revive Mission Creek’s fish habitat and stocks, but hopefully its fishery as well. As reported in another recent study, “Freshwater angling is not just an enjoyable pastime or

outdoor thrill, but also a powerful economic engine in many regions of B.C.,” including the Okanagan. In 2005, for example, 35,400 anglers caught more than 700,000 fish, contributing about $44 million to the valley’s economy. Trout and salmon are the two most important species to B.C.’s fishing industry in terms of angler interest and spending, and both are native to Mission Creek. Joanne de Vries is the Mission Creek Restoration Initiative coordinator.

London’s dynamic duo: The London Pass & Oyster Card Anne Z. Cooke CONTRIBUTOR
LONDON—What’s the only downside to the VIP secret called the London Pass? The wrath of your fellow travellers when they see you jump-
ing the line at visitor sites like the Tower of London. Take the balding man at the gate, mopping his face. When I stepped in front of him—politely, of course—he frowned, yanked up his shorts and puffed out his chest.
“Sorry, miss, but you’ll have to wait your turn,” he growled. “The end of the line is way back there, around the corner.” I didn’t bother to look at the block-long queue of weary sightseers shuffling over the hot pavement. I’d
seen them already. Now I was thanking my lucky rabbit’s foot I’d planned ahead. “See, uh, this is my London Pass,” I explained, showing him my shiny blue-and-yellow plastic card. “I bought it
way ahead of time and it gets me in without a reservation and without waiting. It’s good for dozens of places you probably want to see. Like the Churchill War Rooms, Windsor Castle and Westminster Abbey. It’s a good
deal,” I added, babbling apologetically. To prove the point, I showed him the book that came with the pass, a guide so useful I’d already abandoned the travel guide I’d lugged across the Atlantic. “And here’s

London from A32 pass costing about half of the price of tickets bought in cash at the station. You can jump on any bus or tube train and go from one end of London to the other, and you can buy the Oyster Card at any train or tube station, or at a London tourism office, or at the VisitBritain website,” I said, running out of breath. “No kidding,” he said, peering at both cards as if we were playing black jack and I was dealing. “We just arrived yesterday. Whaddaya think? Should we invest?” I could have launched into the pros and cons, but it seemed more politic to smile and retreat into the Tower’s inner courtyard, a lot safer now than it was when Ann Boleyn and her ilk came to stay and lost their heads. I could have explained that if you’re in London for just a day or two, buying a pass might not make sense. Walking through Hyde Park, window shopping on Picadilly and watching the Changing of the Guards at Buckingham Palace are outdoor thrills. And the London Pass, while discounted, isn’t free. A one-day adult pass costs $82 (£49). But the real value of the pass isn’t the money you’ll save. It’s that the pass opens every door, literally, taking all the hassle out of touring a major world city in high season. With the pass in hand you can go to the head of the line at every attraction, castle and museum, and be admitted on the spot. No waiting in line for hours, no changing money.

day, the pass does save money. As for the Oyster Card, you’ll need it, too, to get to those river boats and stadium tours. The tube will get you there in quick time; the bus provides leisurely above-ground sightseeing. Tube stations are in walking distance of everything, the employees

Jump queues and avoid lineups London from A33 Funscape, Ben Franklin’s house, walking and bicycling tours, Windsor Castle, back-stage theatre visits, Thames River cruises, and discounts at restaurants, stores, malls and museum shops. Visit the Canal Museum, formerly a 19th century ice-storage warehouse on the River Thames. This hidden spot tells the story of the era when trade goods came to London from coastal ports via canal boats. Riding in on the tide, the boats unloaded their cargos at riverside warehouses like the now-museum. Don’t miss Kew Palace, in Kew Gardens, the elegant little gem where mad King George III retreated in summer, sipping tea, fretting about the upstart American colonies and finding solace in the shade of the garden’s rare plants.

or the Courtauld Gallery, or All Hallows by the Tower, London’s oldest church, founded in 675 A.D.? I hadn’t. How about the guided tour of the Rock’N’Roll Walk, in Soho and Covent Garden; the tour of Wembly Stadium; the guided bicycle tour; or the hop-on-hopoff Thames River boat ride? To make the most of both the Oyster Card
and the London Pass, I checked off places I wanted to see, and grouped them by neighbourhoods. And I tried to go to the most popular attractions early, to miss the crowds. The shorter the line, the easier it is to cut.
IF YOU GO:
Buy your Oyster Card online, for any amount, at www.visitbritain.com; or purchase it in any train
or tube station. VisitBritain is also a source for all London travel, including tours, lodging, events, openings, maps and special discounts. The London Pass guidebook includes photos, full description, suggestions about making advance reservations (often required), other discounts, a map, closest bus and tube stops, hours, addresses and phone numbers. Go to www.londonpass.com for prices and mailing instructions. Or
buy it on arrival at Heathrow or Gatwick Airports, London train stations, or at the office, at 11a Charing Cross Rd., near Leicester Square. Adult and child prices for one day are £49 and £33; three days are £73 and £50.40; six days are £97.20 and £68. Alert: Because rates for the London Pass and the Oyster Card depend on travel dates, discounts and other variables, the prices quoted here may vary slightly.

Inside the cabin, you’ll be welcomed by Japanese Contact alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca What’s great about the 4-cylinder, Subaru offers it with a 6-speed manual. Our friends to the south don’t have access to such awesomeness. But on the flip side, it’s only available on the base model. Aside from the 6-speed manual, Subaru offers their version of a Continuously Variable Transmission, aka the Lineartronic CVT. While some might not be a fan of this type of transmission, don’t knock it until you try it. Subaru does an excellent job with the gear simulations and I didn’t feel the drone of the system under hard acceleration, even with the 4-cylinder. While I’d pick a manual any day, the CVT is darn good. So is the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, a standard feature on all Legacy trims.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!
Safety Tip: This early summer weather means more cyclists on the road, so as a driver shoulder checking is very important – especially when making right hand turns at intersections, before pulling away from a curb and before you open your vehicle door.

Rare Mustang T5 ready to make its public bow

is the best part, it’s on time and under budget, almost unheard of in days gone by let alone today. So what is so special about a T5 Mustang? The Ford Mustang could not be sold in Germany as a Mustang because a truck manufacturer there and later a motorcycle manufacturer owned the trademarked name Mustang. Both manufacturers offered to sell the rights to Ford for $10,000 each but Ford declined and decided the solution would be to use the initial
The restoration story of Laura Ballance’s Mustang T5 has been an interesting to follow and one that is not typical of this kind of project. Before I get carried away telling you what a T5 actually is, I have to report that with the help of the team at 360 Fabrication, suppliers White and Peters, BASF paint and the 200 plus hours of paint preparation, application, wet sanding and polishing by master painter Darren Emmerson, the car is finished!

Mustang project name T5 as the solution. With all of the changes required, they should have probably paid the $10,000. With there being so many U.S. armed forces bases in Germany, export models were highly sought after. Laura had no idea how rare her car was until she decided to embark on this project and began doing her research. The T5 registry has informed Laura that of the 453 Mustang Hardtop T5s built in 1967, hers is one of the few examples ordered with a vinyl roof, which is listed as an option in the V.I.N tag. There are only two T5s known to exist in Canada, hers and one in Ontario and only 45 have

survived in various states of condition worldwide. It is going to be a busy summer for Laura, her two daughters and the Mustang. I suspect her father, never in his wildest dreams would have thought the car would end up as a show car let alone become a family affair involving three generations of his family. The T5 will debut at the Vancouver Classic Car Show and Auction at the PNE on June 21 and 22. A picture of it at it’s gleaming best in next week’s Driveway preview of that show. Then it will head south in July to the Mustang Roundup in Bellevue, Washington, the world’s largest Mustang meet. The car is entered in the Concours restoration class and should place well. Because this is the 50th anniversary of the Mustang the invitations are pouring in, the most recent one from an event in North Carolina, Laura still has a day job so unfortunately will miss that one. She will finish the summer off at the Luxury SuperCar weekend at VanDusen Gardens in September. The car will be viewed at least 30 or 31 times in a month, gracing the walls of garages and repair shops all over North America featured in a 2015 Ford calendar. This concludes a happy restoration project. Nigel Matthews is the director of sales and marketing for Hagerty Insurance Canada. nmatthews@hagerty.com

An electrifying smart choice
2014 Smart Electric
Which cars on the market today don’t I like? It’s a question I’m often asked and one I struggle to answer. Today’s automobiles are made so well, there are no real turkeys. But, and there is always a “but”, there are certainly cars I like more than others and some I prefer not to drive. The regular Smart ForTwo is one of them. The small dimensions are perfect as a city runabout but the lethargic gasoline engine and very choppy automatic transmission make it more
CONTRIBUTED
Well, after driving the latest Smart ForTwo Electric Drive (Smart Electric) my mood has changed to the point that this might be the best little electric car for the city, it’s that good.
‘‘
What the electric version has over the regular gasoline model is a much smoother delivery of power.

Looks The Smart Electric looks like the regular Smart, with a compact little body that provides and amazing amount of interior space and a lot of crash protection on the outside. The exterior of all the Smart Cars have been designed as a singular safety cage, called the Tridion Safety Cell. Other cars have exterior panels that absorb impacts the Smart’s exterior metal bits are the strongest part of the car. In crash tests, these tiny cars fare well. The Smart Electric, just like the gasoline version, is available as a coupe or cabriolet. Spotting a Smart Electric is a bit tricky; this is not like buying a Toyota Prius or Chevy Volt. No, this little dynamo blends right in. It is only a small decal on the side with the emblem of a plug or the subtle badge on that back that gives anything away. Inside My nine-year-old son Charlie really wanted to go for a ride not because it’s electric but because he had never been in a Smart Car before and wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Since there are only two seats, he could place his seat back as far as he liked and had vast amounts of leg room. He also commented on the large cargo shelf behind the two front seats for storage. The cabin is tall and we both had a commanding view down the road. The rest of the cabin is refreshingly simple. There are two bug-like gauges on top of the dash that indicate the batteries state of charge and if the car is drawing power or regenerating power when coasting or braking. The instrument cluster provides a simple trip computer displaying the vehicle’s electric range and an “eco” meter that helps the driver be more efficient. Drive Under the cargo shelf in the back is the Lithium-Ion
battery pack that has 17.6kWh or roughly, a 135km range when fully charged. This little car can be quick too, thanks to the 96 ft.-lbs. of instant torque from the electric motor. This moves the car along quickly, but the throttle has been calibrated for smooth acceleration, helping the driver gain the best efficiency. I should point out that the high centre of gravity, short wheelbase and slightly choppy ride all combine to make a less than connected car in the corners, so be aware that this car can accelerate quickly but it will not corner quickly. What the electric version has over the regular gasoline model is a much smoother delivery of power. No more anemic gasoline engine and gone is the choppy transmission. The electric motor is smooth and refined. Verdict Once again, the Smart is a perfect of example of how to get the most out of a small space. The electric cord that connects the car to a 120-volt outlet is packaged into the tailgate of the car; in fact this is the best electric car packaging I’ve seen. Most companies just leave a bag in the trunk, while this system hides it all away. With a starting price of $26,990 for the coupe or $29,990, the Smart Electric is an expensive two-seat car but a bargain the electric world, the least expensive in Canada. The regular gasoline Smart is really an inner-city runabout, which is why the electric version makes so much sense. With up to 138km of range, this Smart Electric will have more than enough range for existing Smart buyers and a great second car for any city family. The Smart electric is now on my list of cars that I truly enjoy driving, the best Smart of the bunch. zack.spencer@drivewaybc. ca

Bringing a curber conman to justice can cost tens of thousands of dollars. While penalties can be high, many successful prosecutions may yield a fine of just a few hundred dollars. One case currently before the courts is five days into a trial over a $288 ticket. The costs to date of further action against the offender are now approaching $80,000. At first sight, one might think it appropriate to save public cash but the problem is allowing a dismissal to occur sets a dangerous precedent that could harm
future prosecutions. Because the matter is still before the court, the accused’s name is withheld but the circumstances can be revealed because they are instructive. The Surrey man has undergone continuous legal action by the VSA (in partnership with the City of Surrey). The Provincial Court found him guilty on three charges of curbing. He continued to curb so the VSA obtained an injunction from the BC Supreme Court. That did not deter him so the VSA applied to the BC Supreme Court to find him in con-
tempt of court. If successful the man will face a fine of $10,000 if found curbing again. This form of con clearly can be very profitable, if the perpetrators figure fines and legal expenditures are merely the cost of doing business. However, the following cases illustrates typical curber practices and the penalties they could face. One prolific curber was convicted with 31 counts of fraud. He was buying vehicles wholesale from licensed dealers and selling them to the public. He
rolled back more than two million kilometres. He was fined $31,000, two vehicles were seized from him, and he was put on probation for three years. A curber from Williams Lake claimed he sold cars as a hobby. After several tickets and warnings from the VSA, Crown Counsel issued court charges against him. After pleading guilty, he was fined $2,000. The legislation allows for a maximum fine of up to $100,000 for individuals and $200,000 for corporations. A Delta man was convicted of fraud – 15 charges with
evidence of odometer tampering, inaccurate vehicle histories, sales tax violations and other deliberately deceptive practices. Crown Prosecutor said he targeted the most vulnerable consumers, such as recent immigrants who had poor English. There was deliberate planning to perpetrate each fraud – finding a low priced vehicle, rolling back the odometer, detailing to improve the appearance of the vehicle, creating a false history, finding a suitable “victim,” forging official documents and tax fraud. This occurred on more than Follow us at:
BUILT-IN VALUE
one occasion. As the buyers were “complicit” in the fraud, there was no consumer restitution for 12 of the 15 counts. They agreed to false documentation to save on taxes – a common practice used by curbers. This makes consumers fearful to go to authorities when something goes awry. He received a one-year conditional sentence (effectively house arrest, except for medical emergencies or to work, with the terms easing as the year progresses). He also agreed to perform 100 hours of community service. I’m indebted to the Vehicle Sales Authority of BC for providing the research necessary for produce last week’s typical curber profile story and today’s account of real scams.

I watched a left turning driver hit the horn (just once) to urge the driver ahead to move into the intersection. The woman just shook her head and stayed put but when the light turned red, she took off! What logic was she using to figure—wrongly—that it was unlawful to enter the intersection yet legal to enter and turn on the red?.

The Ford Escape is a founding member and a top-seller in the hot-selling compact utility club. It came with a newlook exterior, an interior makeover and improved safety features for the 2008 model year, all included a complete second-generation redesign. Although it doesn’t look too much different from its predecessor, the ’08 Escape has a wider stance and a slightly higher belt line than its predecessor and there are no carry-over body panels. A domed hood, bigger grille and new headlamps also give this Escape a slightly more aggressive look and it has better off-road attributes in terms of approach, breakover and departure angle capabilities. A base front-drive Escape XLS is powered by a 2.3-litre engine. Moving up a step, the XLT trim allowed a 3.0-litre V6 option and a tow package that bumped trailer-hauling capability to 1,588 kg (3500 lb). The top-line Limited came with leather, dual climate control air conditioning and Audiophile sound system, more power features, and the V6 engine. Four-wheel-drive was an option with every trim level. If an urban commute is your vehicles primary job and good fuel economy is important there’s also a hybrid version of the Escape. It

has a smoother and quieter powertrain than the first generation Escape Hybrid, introduced in 2003, and its city-driven fuel economy rating is an ultra-frugal 5.7 L/100 km. It was also available in both front-drive and four-wheel-drive. While stability control was standard on all gas-engine versions of the ’08 Escape, it wasn’t available on the Hybrid. Same story for a related new safety feature on the ’08, called Roll Stability Control (RSC). Particularly useful on taller vehicles, the RSC system automatically responds when a potential rollover is detected, by selectively applying brakes and/or decreasing the engine torque. Both of these important active safety features were made standard on the ‘09 and newer Escape Hybrid. The ’09 model year also brought big changes under-hood. A new 2.5-litre 4-cylinder engine, a modified version of the 3.0-litre V6, two new transmissions and the hybrid got an even more refined drivetrain with an Atkinson cycle gasoline engine. The new five-speed manual transmission, in combination with the 4-cylinder engine, was only available in Escape models
Safety Recalls: 2008 to 2012 Ford Escape: 2008/2009/2010/2011/2012: A fault in the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system could result in a sudden loss of power steering assist, without warning to the driver. This would significantly increase the effort required by a driver to steer at lower vehicle speeds. Dealers will affect repairs as necessary and reprogram the EPS controller with updated software. 2010: The automatic transmission’s park rod guide retention pin may not have been properly installed. This may prevent the transmission park pawl from engaging when shifted into “PARK” and allow vehicle movement. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, install the missing park rod guide retention pin.

sold in Canada. The Escape Hybrid is a full hybrid and capable of running purely on electric power up to about 40 km/ hour. It also uses a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Although it doesn’t function with a conventional gear set, it still offers a low-range setting for
challenging terrain. The 2010 model year brought trim upgrades to Escape and all models got standard Blind Spot Mirrors. A top-line Limited trim was added to Escape Hybrid offerings and an Auto Park System, which automatically steers the Escape into a parallel parking spot, was a

new option. Ford Escape was essentially unchanged for 2011 and 2012, other than some new exterior colours and option packages. The 2012 model was the final year of this generation Ford Escape. The Escape’s reliability is generally rated average to better than average and repair costs are generally lower-than-average, according to Consumer Reports. The Hybrid edition typically rates a little better. Resale prices are reasonable and there’s typically a good supply of used Ford Escape models out there. You can expect to pay an additional $2,000 to $4,000 for a Hybrid model.

MAEERS, ROBERT CLYDE
December 20, 1942 - June 9, 2014 Our loving son, brother, husband, father and grandfather gone from this earth far too soon. Bob will be greatly missed by his soul mate of 32 years, Jacqueline (Aubin) Maeers, his children Ron, Rick and Karen Maeers, Shirlee Ross and her loving partner Christopher Blake and Trevor and Kamila Ross. His grandchildren Astrid, Piper and Scarlet will never forget their adventures with their Papa Bob. Born in Calgary, Alberta to John and Marion Maeers, Bob was a wonderful brother to his sisters Eva and Al Fry and Wendy and Gerry Scrivner, whom he loved unconditionally. We will cherish the memory of his smile, his selfless support of his friends and family and his dedication to giving back to his community through countless volunteer efforts. A man of unending talents, anyone who knew Bob would agree that he was someone to trust, to count on and to love. Services will be held on Saturday, June 14th at 4:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Mental Health Association www.cmha.ca in his name are appreciated. We will forever love you and keep your memories close to our hearts.

Let Mother Nature maintain your yard I tionist (founding and 25 year member of the Nature Trust of B.C, chair of the Nature Conservancy of Canada, co-founder of Brandt’s Creek Marsh, and recipient of the Order of Canada for conservation work). As his final project he designed a home for his wife and himself on the extremely steep hillside beside his long-time residence. His goal was to preserve the natural vegetation on that slope with less than a six-foot perimeter of disturbance around the narrow, three-storey home. All but the top floor is built into the slope. Each time I visit the hillside below the house I am astonished at his achievement. Preserving the natural landscape is the easiest, most cost-effective way to landscape. It provides both immediate and long term savings. When thinking about this in the context of the
won’t be much weeding. There won’t be any need to fertilize or mulch. The natural mulch formed by vegetation dying back in winter and leaf/needle drop, will gradually break down and feed the plants. The plants are all well adapted to the climate so will thrive and not need replacing. There will be a divers-
ity of plant species that will attract a diversity of birds and beneficial insects to take care of insect pests. This leaves lots of time to relax and enjoy the Okanagan sunshine. Gwen Steele is executive director of the non-profit Okanagan Xeriscape Association. www.okanaganxeriscape.org

Principles of Xeriscape, or water-wise gardening: Mother Nature has taken care of the design cost. There is no need to install or maintain a costly irrigation system or pay for water to irrigate. There is no need to improve the soil as the plants are already growing and adapted to the soil they are in. Existing plant roots will hold the soil to prevent erosion. There is no weekly mowing and trimming of lawns. Where the ground has not been disturbed, it will be covered in natural vegetation which prevents weed growth so there

was delighted to read Don Burnett’s column in the June 5 edition of the Capital News, headlined ‘Save natural state of hillside lots.’ Frequently, new homeowners come to my xeriscape class to find out how to recreate the natural beauty that attracted them to their property. Unfortunately, the native vegetation was destroyed in the building process, leaving disturbed soil infested with invasive weeds. Sadly, it is very difficult to restore what has been lost. Putting a true value on natural landscapes is long overdue. “Building with Nature,” by Andy Wasowski, is an excellent book detailing how owners and builders work together to maximally preserve the natural landscape. Used copies of this are available online. I strongly recommend it to anyone involved in land development or construction as well as those planning to have a home built. In Kelowna, we have a wonderful example of this method of building by the late John Woodworth, a prominent architect and ardent conserva-

Learning the 5 ‘Cs’ of lending When you apply for a loan or mortgage application, there are several factors the lender will consider to determine if you qualify. We call these the five ‘Cs’ of credit. As mortgage lending is simply determining risk assessment, listed below are the most common elements that a lender will pay attention to in making that determination:
CREDIT
This is a huge one. The lender will be looking at your credit score and credit history to determine your previous repayment habits. How you pay your credit card balances helps the potential mortgage lender judge the likelihood that you will pay your mortgage on time. If you have great credit you won’t have any issues. If you have some bruised credit in the past, be sure you have some good credit history to mitigate your bruised credit from the past. Not only is how you have paid your credit important, the length you have had it and how much you owe in relation to available limits factors in as well.
COLLATERAL
The potential lender will want
all the details on the property they will be financing. What kind of shape the property is in, the location and whether it’s a property that is appealing to a large portion of the population. That doesn’t mean it is a minimum requirement for approval. What is does mean, however, is the lender will be looking a little more closely at the other strengths of your application if the location and home are less than optimal.
CAPACITY
Along with a mortgage approval inevitably comes a mortgage payment. It’s no surprise that lenders would like to confirm how you will afford your mortgage payments. Depending on your employment type, the documentation requirements will vary. Most lenders are pretty common sense and are just looking to gain a comfort level with your income to ensure your mortgage payments are manageable for you.
CAPITAL
Capital is your down payment amount and whether your net worth is positive or negative. The larger the down payment you have, the better it looks.
Your net worth which is your assets minus your liabilities is also considered. If you have a positive net worth, it shows you have a bit of a cushion in the event of a cash-flow emergency. This looks more favourable than if you don’t have access to extra resources to make your mortgage payments in the event of an emergency.
CHARACTER
Character is the overall determining factor in whether the mortgage application is approved or declined. A mortgage professional will explain to the lender what kind of person you are and whether you are a reasonable risk. If you have any issues such as bruised credit, let us know the reason. The more we know and understand you and your situation will result in us explaining to the lender what kind of a borrower you are. How your whole application is structured with of course the above considerations impacts the likelihood of approval. Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of mortgage professionals Trish Balaberde, 250-470-8324; Kristin Rosdal, 250-878-3007; and Christine Hawkins, 250-826-2001.
Condo depreciation report for stratas bring ‘certainty’ Jeff Nagel CONTRIBUTOR
Many condo buildings in B.C. are believed to be opting out of a provincial government directive to get a depreciation report that gives owners and prospective buyers a warts-and-all assessment of deficiencies and expected longterm expenses. Industry insiders believe many strata councils voted by a required 75 per cent margin to exempt themselves from the requirement, which was passed by the province in 2011 and took effect last December. Mike Laporte, a partner with property appraisal firm NLD Consulting-Reserve Fund Advisors, estimated just 20 to 25 per cent of condo buildings have commissioned depreciation reports. “That’s a guess,” he said, but added he’s heard similar estimates from competitors. Buildings that have opted out must conduct new exemption votes every 18 months. Laporte expects subsequent votes will result in more buildings eventually getting depreciation reports, putting additional pressure on holdout condo buildings to follow. “Without the report it may appear there’s something undue to hide,” Laporte said. He said some stratas think their build-
ing is in great condition so they don’t need a depreciation report, but don’t realize a good report can give them an edge over others when unit owners wish to sell. The province amended the rules in the wake of the leaky condo crisis to shed more light on the physical condition of aging buildings and the preparations of their strata councils to cover the eventual cost of major repairs. Laporte said some stratas initially worried about the cost of getting a report due to the high demand for them or that too few professionals were qualified to perform them. Tony Gioventu, executive director of the Condominium Homeowners Association of B.C., is more optimistic about strata uptake, estimating 30 to 50 per cent of condo buildings now have at least commissioned a depreciation report. He said the association is getting a few complaints each day from condo owners who can’t sell their units because their strata doesn’t yet have one. Gioventu predicts the fallout for buildings without a report will extend to more stringent and costly terms – if not refusals —for prospective unit buyers from lenders and insurers. While many strata councils fear bad news from the reports, he said the regulation change is good because it brings better protection for buyers and more certainty about future costs for owners.

Waterscapes offers resort style living in downtown Kerry Vital CONTRIBUTOR
Ledingham McAllister brings luxury to Kelowna’s waterfront with Waterscapes, a master-planned community inspired by the sparkling lake and relaxing atmosphere. “It feels like a resort community,” says Manuela Mirecki, senior vice-president of marketing and design for Ledingham McAllister. “The response has been really, really good.” Waterscapes offers a range of home styles, including high-rise residences at Skye and townhomes and low-rise homes at The Herons. Among the features in the homes are wood-grain shaker cabinetry in the kitchens and relaxing soaker tubs in the ensuite bathrooms. Homeowners at Waterscapes
have exclusive access to The Cascade Club, which holds a fully equipped fitness centre, billiards lounge, guest suites, library and outdoor kitchen, among many other amenities. “The Cascade Club is literally your own private country club,” says Mirecki. “It’s been in constant use since it opened.” If you venture off the property, Waterscapes is just a short walk away from shopping dining and nightlife in Kelowna, including the thriving arts district. “Living at Waterscapes offers you the whole life experience,” says Mirecki. “There is nothing like this anywhere else.” On June 21 and 22 between noon and 6 p.m., Ledingham McAllister is hosting a blowout sales event for the remaining homes at Waterscapes, and will offer spec-
tacular deals. “For the penthouse (at Skye), we will be reducing the price by up to $150,000, and two-bedroomand-den homes by up to $60,000,” says Mirecki. In The Herons, Ledingham McAllister will be offering discounts of up to $80,000 on the townhomes and up to $45,000 on the two-bedroom-and-den homes. “Ledingham McAllister has been in business for 109 years,” Mirecki says. “There’s no one else in Western Canada who can offer that level of experience.” For more information, visit www.ledmac.com/waterscapes, call 1-250-763-8313 or stop by the sales centre at Sky Tower, PH3, 1075 Sunset Drive, Kelowna, open daily (except Fridays) between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.
