rose by any other name smells as sweet; but a glass of rosé poured from a box? Well, that just turns oenophiles sour. By the estimates of one Kelowna vintner, however, it’s time for those high falootin’ winos
to think inside the box and reach to the lower shelves at the liquor store: Plastic bladders housed in cardboard walls have all glass and cork counterparts can boast and, in some ways, more. “The ground game is getting the wine into people’s mouths and changing opinions one sip
at a time,” said Ezra Cipes, Summerhill Winery’s chief operations officer, who this week launched a crusade to get their new line of boxed wines the B.C. Vintners Quality Alliance stamp of approval, not to mention bit of customer appreciation. See story A3.

Box wine’s image needs an update “It’s just a delivery system and the wine tastes exactly the same. But I get it…until we started making it, I never purchased a bag of wine myself.” Box wines first appeared in liquor stores in the 1970s and, along with the fashion of the time, was found lacking for taste and substance. Cheap vintages gained a dubious distinction that went on for decades. But in recent years, Aussies, Kiwis and Europeans managed to make them more acceptable, along with tetra packs and kegs, in part due to their versatility and because it’s just a sensible change in format. The technology that goes into the bag-in-box system is ideal in many ways—cellaring being the only challenge—due to the fact the bag’s airtight bladder and spigot protects wine from oxygen which allows for the wine’s longevity. Cipes kicked in that the packaging is also more sustainable than a corked bottle, a fact that ties in nicely with the organic and eco-friendly image Summerhill has developed over the years. Among other things, boxed wine stacks more efficiently into trucks, so transportation costs are lowered. “The carbon footprint
maker for Hester Creek Estate Winery in Oliver. “It took some time, but the consumer got behind it. There may be a stigma that a box may not have good wines, but it’s about educating the consumer, creating brand loyalty and faith in products.” Hester Creek—along with Penticton’s Pentage and Poplar Grove wineries—has been making a limited run of boxed wines for the better part of a decade. Summers said they’ve continually been popular because the faithful clientele have come to know and appreciate what’s inside. He noted, however, that the winery has never pursued the B.C. VQA standing for their boxed wine product. “Our customers know our product comes from our estate vineyard and that’s more important than a VQA standing,” said Summers, explaining that he’s no stranger to the wine authority’s stance on boxed product. He left winemaking in Ontario six years ago just as that province’s wineries were waging a battle to get the prestigious seal of approval. “In Ontario, it was decided that it was not appropriate,” he said. “So I’m not going to fight that battle right now. If it’s VQA or not isn’t important, it’s more im-
is reduced 76 per cent when it comes to the box versus the bottle,” he said. Despite all the advantages, North Americans have been loath to part with the bottle format— even when they’re fans of the wine stored inside the package, as has been the case with Summerhill. “You know, I tested it on our Facebook page, which is quite active with almost 2,000 users,” said Cipes. “I said: ‘Do you think bag in the box should be eligible for B.C. VQA?’ And I expected everyone to say ‘yes’ because they’re our friends.” Instead, only 19 of the 30 who answered Cipes query got on board with the idea, while the rest said “no,” explaining they thought the designation’s value would be diminished if it was stamped on a box. “That, to me, really speaks to the prejudice against the box,” Cipes said. That said, wine lovers are notoriously fussy about any deviation in packaging. Screw tops once had connoisseurs in a tizzy, but now they’re common fare, explained another Okanagan box-converted winemaker. “They were originally associated with cheap blend wines and now you find screw caps on bottles from $20 to $50,”said Rob Summers, a wine-

dards. Steve Berney, the general manager of the B.C. Wine Authority, said currently the standard can’t be reached if the product is packaged in a bottle. “With the legislation as it is, it has to be glass bottles,” he explained. That said, it’s not as though the wine authority is the bad guy in this scenario. Change is possible, and it’s ultimately a winemakers peers that will decide their fate. “If a member wants to change (the legislation), they contact a wine industry committee member,” he said, explaining the industry committee then brings the proposed change in legislation forward.
portant that (the wine’s) flavour is good and our customers enjoy it.” However, Cipes does believe that rating is important. As is, the winery has boxes of wines that bargain hunters believe to be too pricey when compared with standard boxed fare, and that connoisseurs can’t support. “There’s a disconnect on both sides,” he said, noting that the VQA standing could bridge that gap. The VQA stamp of approval came to be in 1990 and is regulated by the B.C. Wine Authority. Among other things, the designation guarantees that a wine is from B.C. and meets certain minimum quality stan-

Proposals are presented to the board of directors, and they do a ballot among other B.C. VQA members. A change in direction would require two-thirds majority of members voting in favour of the alteration, and that 65 per cent would have to represent 50 per cent of the VQA product., “They want to make certain that the majority is in favour of any changes,” he said In the 13 months he’s worked with the authority, Berney said he’s never learned that there would be any resistance to the box. That said, even if everything comes up roses for Summerhill,
timing could be a problem for this year’s batch of boxes and their oneyear shelf life. The wine authority recently amended some legislation but it took from November of last year to July of this year to collect all the ballots that had been delivered to the 145 members. “In order to have a vintage labelled for 2010, it had to be 95 per cent of 2010 grapes,” he said, to explaining the alteration. “Now (that all the votes have come in) it’s reduced to 85 per cent 2010 grapes. “It’s not impossible, there’s a process and that’s what they have to wait for,” Berney said. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Lightning show but rain causes damage Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Kelowna is asking the province for emergency funds to help clean up after a severe thunder and lightening storm rolled through the Central Okanagan Wednesday night. The storm was described by Environment Canada as one of the worst to ever hit this area. The city has asked the Provincial Emergency Program for about $70,000 to help repair damage done to Crawford Road in the Mission. Water, mud and debris smashed part of the road during the height of the storm, which saw 40 millimetres of rain fall in a two-hour period. The full cost of the work is expected to exceed $100,000. The road, which was being repaired by the city yesterday, was open to only one lane of traffic on Thursday.
Initial repairs are expected to be complete later today. Cascading water, mud and debris washed away the bicycle lane and parts of the asphalt on a 150-metre stretch near DeHart Road. In addition to the damage, there was minor flooring reported in other areas of the Mission, in southeast Kelowna and at Dilworth and Leckie Roads. During the storm, 400 lightening strikes were recorded here between 6:30 p.m and 9 p.m., 35 in one 10-minute span. Acting city manager Paul Macklem said the road damage was the most serious damage reported as a result of the storm. He praised the work of city crews, especially firefighters, who responded to 91 incidents during the evening, about four times more than on a typical August evening. Saying city staff went
above and beyond the call of duty, Macklem said off-duty personnel were called in to help deal with the effects of the storm. “The problem was so much happened in such a short period of time,” said Macklem. Widespread power outages, heavy rain and flooding on some city roads were reported as well as six wildfires, 10 smoke sightings, two marine rescues on Okanagan Lake, and 27 reports of fire alarms going off. On top of that, in a separate incident during the storm, a laptop computer reportedly started a fire at the Delta Grand Hotel that forced the hotel to be evacuated while the blaze in a fifth floor room was dealt with. The fire was put out by the building’s sprinkler system. Fire department dispatchers dealt with 125 9-1-1 emergency calls during the four-hour peri-

od of the storm, said KFD officials. FortisBC said power was out for hundreds of customers during the storm but was restored for everyone by the early hours of Thursday morning. The biggest outage was in the Hollywood Road area of Rutland where about 1,500 customers were left in the dark for about an hour. Another 900 customers in the Mugford Road
area lost power for about six hours. Also, on Thursday morning, local fruit growers were checking their orchards for damage, but both Joe Sardina, president of the B.C. Fruit Growers Association, and Dave Stirling, chairman of the Okanagan-Kootenay Cherry Growers’ Association, said it appeared, at first blush, that most of the local fruit had been spared.
Stirling, who grew up here, said the storm was the worst he has seen since he started growing cherries 14 years ago. While hail would have been a danger for apples on trees, the heavy rains were of concern for cherry growers. Some cherry growers in the area had helicopters in the sky early Thursday hovering over their orchards trying to dry their fruit before harvesting it.
The down draft from helicopter rotors is used to push water off cherries so as not to let it be absorbed into the fruit. The local B.C. agriculture ministry office would not comment on any calls it received from orchardists about potential damage and insurance claims but workers at the office did says the office’s phones lines were very busy Thursday morning. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna ultrarunners take to The Alps Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
It started as an out-ofthis-world challenge. But when “two Canadian girls� run across one of the biggest mountain ranges in the world next month, they’ll be able to say they’ve been to hell and back and, hopefully, enjoyed it. The Gore-Tex Transalpine-Run traverses 240 kilometres and 15,500
metres of elevation along the Highway to Hell in The Alps mountains between Germany and the finish line in Italy. Local massage therapist Sarah Macleod and fitness industry pro Rene Unser will have just eight days to cross that distance as one of only three Canadian teams to attempt the event this year. “No matter what, we’re going to finish,� said Macleod, who will
be trying multi-day, stage racing for the first time in the early September event. As with many an epic adventure these days, the trail to the competition started with a Facebook challenge. Macleod was toying with the idea of a multiday race after a couple of years adventure racing and spoke with Unser, who suggested the Transalps run was an event she

had always wanted to do and might make an epic first crack at the ultra-endurance sport. Unser is an avid trail runner who had originally set her sights on the Transalps event as a trip she could do with her husband. The 35-year-old mother, who runs PACE Sport Fitness, a Kelowna-based adventure sport training business, got heavily into trail running after doing a multi-day stage race in Thailand— her first trail race—with her husband in 2005. “I had stumbled upon this race online, no coaching certificates, I was just naive runner Jane, and said lets do it,� said Unser, who ended up fifth in the women’s category of the The Raid Thai. The experience spurred a serious passion for ultra-level trail running, which is currently one of the fastest growing sports in the world. In the couple’s quest to continue trying new challenges they honed in
on the Transalps race, Unser even turning down an opportunity to do the run with another partner two years ago in hopes of sticking with her husband. But in the years since their Thai adventure, her husband has struggled with the condition of his knees. So when Macleod issued her social media pitch for a partner, Unser decided to take up the challenge and a plan began to take shape. “We want to go out; we want to run hard and we want to have fun,� said Macleod, emphasizing their focus is on having a good time, not making good time in the race. Training for the event had to become a parttime job for both, who are known to log up to 20 hours of training in a week over and above their hectic work schedules and personal lives. After having travelled to the coast to run the Baden Powell trail on the North Shore, the infamous Grouse Grind

They are frequently joined by friends and groups of Kelowna runners, often in shifts, and have spent countless hours shooting the breeze on trails from Knox Mountain to the Glenmore Highlands to the KVR trestles. Several businesses have stepped in to help off-set the costs as well. The Kelowna Valhalla Pure Outfitters store was first to offer assistance with the tremendous cost of gear needed to deal with the varied terrain of the route. Macleod also secured a sponsorship from Icebreaker clothing after shooting the company a quick letter explaining it’s her favourite thing to wear on the trail. As word got out— the pair are blogging

their entire experience— they were approached by Udo’s Oil and now Kelowna Cycle is on board as well. As for their strategy going in, both say they’re taking a conservative approach to their training and to the mountainous course in hopes of avoiding injury. “The race doesn’t really start for us until day five,� said Unser. “If we’ve got something left in the second half, then at that point we’ll maximize the potential and go from there. “This is a dream run for us. We’ve got no expectations to break any records or land on the podium. “So we’re just going to make the event as enjoyable as possible.� With a young son and two other jobs, Unser says enjoying the journey has also been her goal in the months of training it took to get to this point. Between her husband, being a mother and her jobs, many people have sacrificed for her to realize this dream. She wants to focus on appreciating that opportunity, rather than pushing to win the race. There’s a similar tone to Macleod’s approach as well. “I almost felt like it’s now or never,� she said, noting how lucky she was to secure a partner who runs at the same level and was willing and able to take the time away from family to make such a big commitment. Two Canadian Girls on the Run, as their team is called, begin their race Sept. 3 and plan to finish Sept. 10. Both will be blogging en route for friends and family across the country to follow.

a mental illness, though clearly not insane enough to not have known what he was doing, otherwise there would have been a different plea in the case. One could debate the merits of news reporters beating the cop-donewrong story to death until one is blue in the face, but in this case it seems to have obfuscated a simple, scary truth. Cop or no cop, in this community a man was allowed to punch his wife in the face 10 times, use a gun to make threats in front of his children, and walk away from the incident without jail time and likely without a criminal record. If I was one of the many women whose case is in the court queue, who unfortunately basic math seems to suggest is very much a possibility before my lifetime is out, I don’t think the uniform or the voluntary commitment to serve and protect or the court’s explanation or the media’s reaction would make much difference. I’m pretty sure I’d just be walking away with the realization that any person off the street has more rights in my relationship than I do. That makes even less sense than Staff Sergeant Owen Wlodarczak’s sentence.

only are Staff Sergeant Owen Wlodarczak’s actions going largely unnoticed by the media and general public, the courts have basically waved the incident off, saying the officer’s previous record as an exemplary community member outweighs his wife’s right to expect her assailant to see punishment. Unfortunately, the main victim in this case, the wife, unwittingly seems to be going along. Pointing the finger squarely at the RCMP for failing to help the officer cope with the stress of his job effectively enough to avoid degenerating into abuse, her comments had reporters chasing down the RCMP officer-does-wrong/RCMP poorly managed angle all week, completely missing the point. The point is: A man took his children into a room with his wife, punched her in the head repeatedly telling them it was her fault he was this angry, then pulled out a gun and threatened to kill himself because she filed for sole custody. This is about as violent as violence gets without a murder. Giving the officer the benefit of the doubt, it’s very possible he is suffering from

Bike mishap reveals good souls To the editor: I would like to thank everyone who helped me on Tuesday. At about 10 a.m., while riding my bike down Springfield, I collided with a vehicle at the corner of Hollywood. I was thrown to the pavement and lay there hurt— stunned, but conscious. The driver of the vehicle stopped and called out to me. He came around and took my hand as I reached out—I was afraid. He called the ambulance as he stayed near by. While he did that a wonderful gentleman in a truck pulled over and knelt by me and also offered his handN which I gratefully accepted. He spoke of his faith and how God had prepared him for this today. He helped me to relax and feel protected. I needed to be able to see past the present and believe in a tomorrow so I asked him to go for coffee later—he said he’d take me to dinner. (Ah,

▼ SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES
Yet another dubious step on road of online sharing
I
tching to share the burning secret about your nether regions? Well, the B.C. Centre for Disease Control has just the thing for you. This week they launched a service through inSPOT—an acronym for Internet Notification Service for Partners or Tricks—which, according to the website, allows you to “tell your hookups, ex’s, boyfriends, girlfriends, and partner” they may have been exposed to a Sexually Transmitted Disease. Click on the “Tell Them” tab and you’re led to a variety of e-cards with pithy and informative one-liners.
Among the more KATHARTIC popular titles is: “some-
times there are strings attached.” That one has a certain charm to it, I suppose. It warns about the infection Kathy in your pants the same Michaels ominous way my grandmother once warned me about sex, minus the mention of babies. Mind you, she didn’t speak English well, and even affectionate turns of phrase have a bone chilling effect when rendered in broken English and a Greek accent. Those who prefer their salutations be glib rather than grim could opt for this one: “I got screwed, while screwing. You might have too.”
Move over Hallmark. You’ll need to up the ante to live up to your “card for every occasion” mandate. May I suggest: “Roses are red, violets are blue, I have syphilis and now you do too.” The classics are always a hit. Generally speaking, however, the banal writings in cards have always been the irksome equivalent to a gift certificate—they’re thoughtless. And if there’s any time I want someone to be thoughtful, it’s when bodily fluids are involved; but maybe I’m old fashioned. Blissfully, wonderfully, old fashioned. My grandma would be so proud. But in the era where people have been fired and dumped via Facebook or text messages—be it ever so crass—
this is likely a needed tool. Those who receive such an e-card will be directed to a link that tells them where they can get tested and treated for STDs—incidentally, they’re sexually transmitted infections now. Hopefully all this on-line chatter will reduce the number of STIs in British Columbia by encouraging people to seek treatment if they have contracted an infection from someone. Intellectually, I know it makes sense. Unexpectedly, it makes me nostalgic for the days when services just encouraged everyone to coat themselves in latex.

LETTERS
The moment when we die is a ‘natural law’ that none of us should mess around with To the editor: In response to Alistair Waters’ column in favour of the right to die (When Choice is an Option Who Decides Who Lives, Who Dies? Aug. 9 Capital News), there are several discussion points that I respectfully disagree with. First, in reference to pets, he indicated “many would consider you cruel if you did not help the animal end its suffering.” Although we all love our pets, the value of human life is not on the same level as an animal. Also, our animals do not have access to the same level of health care that we have. As a former dog owner who made that choice, I still question whether it was the right choice
and the right time. There is a lot of responsibility in ending a life, even that of a pet. Second, he highlights the horrors of ALS as a reason to end a life. I look to Stephen Hawking, one of the greatest minds of our time. In 1963, when he was diagnosed with ALS, he was given two to three years to live. Imagine if he had decided to end his life at that point. Yes, by now he has lost almost all function, except that of his brain, but his brain is exactly where his gifts lie and technology allows him to share that with us. I don’t question that Gloria Taylor is suffering, but she may have more to offer in this life.
Death is something that is inescapable, one of our natural laws. When we take natural laws into our own hands, we chip away at the moral fabric. If/when physician assisted suicide becomes legal, it will devalue human life a little more, and pave the way for the next “compassionate” and “dignified” fight. Perhaps it will be ending the suffering of those who are severely disabled or those with Alzheimer’s who are just a shadow of their former selves. Every human life has value from conception to natural death.

School district market parking decision a poor one To the editor: Because of one incident by one individual, School District 23 draws a line in the sand that punishes everyone. I’m talking about the school board bankning parking on the lots adjacent to their building on the corner of Baron and Underhill during the Farmers Market hours on Wednesday mornings. There is more than ample room for School Board employees to park on the lot by their building. That is the lot that should be patrolled—not the other two parcels of land that —shoppers at the market have used in the past
while buying local produce and crafts at one of the best farmers markets in the province. The short-sighted administrators who made this decision have no feeling for the bad public relations they have caused (just what they need with a pending strike on the horizon for this fall). The inconvenience they have put on seniors who have longer distances to walk after finding other parking places (ie.: Superstore). The same for families with small children whom the vendors at the market are depending on to buy their products. I agree that school district staff need their
parking stalls, but they sure as heck don’t need to keep citizens from parking on the adjacent lots. Put your darn No Parking signs up back by the smaller lot and let the rest of us (who, by the way, are taxpayers who own that land anyway) park Wednesday mornings while we shop at the market. I’ll bet this was not a board decision—it was a decision by some administrator who did not take the time to think about the bad will the decision would create with the taxpayers. Don’t punish everyone because of the poor action of one. Terry Flannigan, Kelowna

▼ VOLUNTEER AWARDS
Awards of merit should be free from politics To the editor: In his MP’s Report: kHonouring the Volunteer Spirit (Aug. 2 Capital News), Ron Cannan quite properly applauds volunteers and their contribution to society. He goes on to praise a new program named The Prime Minister’s Volun-
teer Awards. Such a program is alarming since it is politically based. A Canadian prime minister is not elected by the populace, he/she is elected to be a Member of Parliament for his/her riding. He/she is prime minis-
ter only because the hierarchy of his/her party appointed or elected him/her to lead the party. Thus, the awards will be handed out based on political expediency. Depending on the party in power, such awards will not be given to either a women’s rights
organization or an antiabortion group. The awards may not ever be given to a secular group or a faith-based group, or to a group in a province out of favour with the federal government, regardless of their merit. Awards of this kind
should be totally free of political intervention, such as the Governor General’s Awards. Politics must have no role in recognizing the important volunteer efforts of individuals and groups. Harri Henschler, West Kelowna
▼ SHARING THE ROAD
Many to thank for help during bicycle misadventure Guardians from A10 Prince Charming, my romantic brain thought imagining candle light and all. Now this I would really like to do so I will get better fast.) Another man stood with a blanket he held to shield me from the brilliant sun. Soon after, a woman appeared who offered her assistance with her first aid training. She held my head still and made sure my neck did not move. I was on the road toward the side and these wonderful people used their vehicles to stop me from further injury and comforted and entertained me while we awaited the
ambulance. Thank you most wonderful strangers. May we meet again. The police arrived and promised to take my bike to my home in Black Mountain, which they did. Thank you Kelowna RCMP. The ambulance paramedics were amazing. They carefully got me to the hospital and soothed me with their explanations of what they were doing and why they needed to know things. I have a particular aversion to hospitals but the paramedics kept me calm. Thank you for the wonderful ride in your coach. The hospital staff were thorough and I didn’t need
to remain any longer than needed. And to the doctors of the Kelowna General emerg: My gratitude and warm thanks. It was truly a day of misadventure for me made so, dare I say ‘pleasant,’ by the kindness of strangers. And it’s a funny thing I reflect on now. During breakfast this morning I was sure I heard God tell me to leave my lap top at home as I would be hit by a car today. So I did leave it at home—God knows best. And that is why I can email this letter to the editor to thank all of you kind souls for turning a nightmare into a fairy tale—complete with a
prince, a dinner proposal, a coach and personal care. Perhaps I even left a glass slipper at the scene. Just another wild story
for my great great grandchildren. Monica Iwanowsky, Kelowna

that don’t annoy. In fact, they help to set my soul free. That process comes to a crashing end when the annoying whine of a dirt bike, gearing up to become a loud roar, interrupts that peacefulness as it bears down on me. Then, all of Mother Nature’s attempts to relax me are wiped out in an instant and I’m on guard and in stress mode all over again. That’s just one of the reasons I don’t feel motorized and non-motorized users should try to share the same trails. It’s a big decision to take up dirt biking, or to buy an ATV. You need a suitable vehicle to carry it or to tow the trailer carrying it to wherever you can ride; an appropriate space to store it at home; the funds to maintain it and all the ancillary equipment you’ll need; insurance and permits that go with all the equipment you need; clothing that will make you safe and comfortable while riding—and likely all the same for someone else in your family who will ride with you. It’s not for everyone.
Lots of people can’t supply some of what’s needed and some simply can’t afford it at all. But anyone can go for a hike. All you really need are a stout pair of shoes. Similarly, there’s not nearly so much involved to go for a simple bike ride along a wilderness trail. It’s a recreational pursuit that’s open to far more people than motorized recreation is. And, to my mind that’s part of what the Trans Canada Trail is all about: an outdoor recreational opportunity that’s open to everyone, regardless of whether they’re rich or poor. It takes up only a small space in each community it passes by, since it’s linear, and people can decide to use as much or as little of it as they’d like or have the time or energy to use. It’s largely maintained by volunteers and much of the fund-raising for bridges or other infrastructure has even been done by those same volunteers. Families can spend an afternoon or a two-week holiday together enjoy-
ing a tramp along the trail. It’s peaceful and quiet and an opportunity to have friendly chats as well as just quietly enjoying each other’s company and the natural surroundings. Add motorized recreation, though, and it’s a different kettle of fish. Trail surfaces that can stand up under millions of feet will not stay in shape long being used by big rubber tires, and already local cycling businesses taking visitors from Myra Canyon, which is closed to motorized use, to Chute Lake or Penticton, have had to find alternate routes because the trail has been torn up so badly. Of course, safety is another issue that’s unavoidable whenever you mix motorized and nonmotorized uses on the same narrow trail: fast and slow, big and little, powerful and vulnerable just don’t combine very well. And, you know who’s going to win any battles. Right now the battle over who may use parts of the TCT is being waged by petition, with the Quad Riders’ Association of B.C. urging riders to contact their MLA regarding usage of the Spirit of 2010 Trail, which includes large rail-trail portions of the TCT. So, if you feel strongly either way, you’d better become involved in this furore right now about where motorized trail use should be permitted, and make your feelings known to your MLA and the Minister of Forests, Lands and Resource Operations, Steve Thom-
son at: steve.thomson. mla@leg.bc.ca or forward him this column, if it mirrors your feelings. There are miles and miles of deactivated forest service roads and other trails available to motorized riders, but only one TCT, which is intended for non-motorized use. Trails B.C. is urging people to make their concerns known and protect the future of the TCT as a non-motorized trail. For more information, go to the website at: www. trailsbc.ca or find Trails B.C. on Facebook.

Local man believed to have drowned Wade Paterson
KELOWNA RCMP
A 31-year-old Kelowna resident drowned in Kelowna’s city park on Thursday. Police received a call at 11:57 a.m. from a witness who stated they saw the Kelowna resident yell-
searched Thursday afternoon for a Kelowna man believed to have drowned in Okanagan Lake near City Park.
“At that distance, a sharp drop off puts the depth at 30 to 50 feet,” said Kelowna RCMP Cst. Steve Holmes on Thursday afternoon. “The regional fire rescue craft, along with the RCMP boat, performed grid searches of the area, assisted by GPS and so-
nar. Nothing has been found so far.” RCMP’s Air 3 was notified and will begin an aerial search when available. The RCMP’s dive team was also notified. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com
Dragon boat festival cancelled The Kelowna Dragon Boat Festival, to have been Aug. 26 to 28 at Waterfront Park, has been cancelled for this year. Dan Giesbrecht, president of Maximum Sports and Entertainment, the producer of the festival, blamed regulatory demands and user fees imposed by the City of Kelowna for causing the event to be cancelled after 12 years. “Part of our issue each year has been trying to keep the Kelowna festival competitive on a provincial level as a desirable race location,” explained Dan Giesbrecht in a news release issued Thursday afternoon. “This meant keeping the race competition and the festival entertainment at a higher level than just a ‘local’ festival could offer. “Increasing regulatory demands from all levels of government, escalating user and venue fees from the City of Kelowna, and an event policy environment that limits revenue generating opportunities, have all eroded our bottom line.” The annual Kelowna Dragon Boat Festival attracted over 35,000 participants between 1999 and 2010. More than 80 per cent of whom came from outside the Okanagan, including B.C., Alberta and the northwest U.S. “The cancellation of the 2011 festival is unfortunate, but hopefully, come the fall, a new council will bring a fresh perspective to the value and economic impact of large scale events to our community and make changes to the current event-related policies,” Giesbrecht said.

SPORTS ▼ RUGBY
Chisholm represents Kelowna Crows on Team BC History will be made this weekend at the Apple Bowl as the first ever Canadian Rugby Championship to be played in the Central Okanagan will take place on Saturday between Team B.C. and the Prairie Wolf Pack. The B.C. Senior Men’s Provincial Rugby team will play host to the Prairie Wolf Pack at the Apple Bowl on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. Included on the Team B.C. roster will be Kelowna Crows rugby player Liam Chisholm. It’s the first time since 1970 that Kelowna will host a rep level rugby match. The last time Kelowna rugby fans were treated to a rep match was on May 23, 1970, when the Vancouver Rugby Union President’s XV hosted a touring English Middlesex side at City Park. The game featured well-known play-
ers including Welsh full back JPR Williams and BC Rugby Hall of Famer Spence McTavish. Now high level rugby is back in Kelowna. “The players are really looking forward to playing at the Apple Bowl and we are honoured that the local community have pulled together to make this exciting event happen,” said B.C. head coach Kris de Scossa. The BC Senior Men are currently sitting with a 1-1 record after downing defending champs The Rock 43-19 before falling to the Ontario Blues 4621. The Wolf Pack, runners up in the 2010 CRC, are also currently sporting a 1-1 record. De Scossa has named a 22-man roster that he says will match the level of intensity the Wolf Pack will bring on Saturday. “The Wolf Pack are a talented side with a very
strong front row,” said De Scossa. “They have fast, effective backs who cover well and capitalize on their opportunities.” Looking to match the power of the Wolf Pack’s front row are veteran Meraloma Rugby Club props Rhodri Hanmer and John MacKenzie. Burnaby Lake hooker Edvin Sabic makes his first start and will be relied on to steady BC’s line-outs. The engine room will again be powered by Burnaby Lake’s Nathan Mantle and Kelowna Crows RFC’s Liam Chisholm, a second row pairing that has faired well in B.C.’s two opening games this season. The back row will feature Meraloma’s Josh Clarke and Abbotsford RFC’s Chris Chalmers manning the flanks and Burnaby Lake’s Aaron Goddard providing a dangerous threat from the no. 8 position.
CONTRIBUTED
TEAM BC captain Eric Wilson is among the players that are coming to Kelowna this weekend for a rugby match between Team BC and Alberta. The nine-ten pivot will feature a pair of Meraloma Rugby Club standouts in scrum half Eric Wilson
and fly half Bryan Tyrer. At just 21, Tyrer was a proven standoff this past season in Meraloma’s
run to the 2011 Rounsefell Cup Championship Game. James Bay’s Connor
Braid and Burnaby Lake’s Jo Dolesau are set to start in the centres, along with fellow Burnaby standout Esava Nakulanisa at no. 11. B.C. will field two lethal scorers in Canadian National Team Sevens speedsters Sean Ferguson (UBC Thunderbirds) and Sean Duke (UVic Vikes) suiting up at wing and full back. “This team has taken the glory, and they have taken the knocks,” said De Scossa. “It will always be the performance that counts in this championship. Our performance in our opening game was near the mark, and our next match was below the mark. We have addressed those areas in training and look forward to performing at a higher level again.” Tickets for the match are $20 with kids 10 and under getting in for free.
Crows take on B.C. champs this Saturday Matching set of silver medals players and savvy local veterans. Kaleb Myers was a starting prop for the U18 BC side one year ago and he’ll share the front row with hooker Jacob Illichmann and fellow prop Shawn Hamilton. The ‘engine room’ at second row will be manned by Chris Hill and Brendan Murtaugh with captain Dan Illichmann sharing back row duties with Evan Crocker and Josh Zieske. The back line will be led by scrumhalf Judah Campbell, who impressed the selectors at the
Canadian University Sevens Championships in the spring. He’ll work with fly half Richard Schouten and centers Dan Blasco and Trevor Phelps to drive the attack through the backfield. Fleet footed Dan Haynes and Joab Campbell will start on the wings, with David James Pauls at fullback. “We have put together a solid squad for this game,” said coach Rob O’Brien. “We have a number of talented young players who are capable of playing rugby at a high-
er level and these young guys want to prove to the selectors in the stands that they deserve to be looked at for a shot at the B.C. team.” The Burnaby Lake Rugby Club won the first division crown in B.C. this year, winning a thriller over James Bay 10 – 8 at Klahanie Park. “Burnaby is bringing up a solid group of players for this game. They will be using this game as a key warm up for their season. This is not a game either team wants to lose,” said O’Brien who added
the game could be a kickoff to a new era of rugby for the local men’s team. “The Kelowna Men’s Team has partnered with the new UBC Okanagan rugby program and this will draw quality players from around the world. This game is the start of the new growth and development for our club. It is an exciting time to be part of Kelowna Rugby.” Kick-off for the Crows vs Burnaby Lake game is 12:30 p.m. at the Apple Bowl, Aug. 13. The Canadian Rugby Championship follows at 2:30.

National BMX event a success Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
This past weekend the Kelowna BMX club hosted over 400 BMX riders at the Firestorm Nationals. Richard Loney, president of Kelowna BMX, said that it was the biggest event the club has hosted in three years. “We host the same event about every three years. This year and 2008 were probably the biggest years,” said Loney. The event is part of the American Bicycle Association series and features elite riders from all over Canada and the United States. According to Loney, a lot of work was done on the track prior to the event to make the race run as smoothly as possible. One of the improvements included adding asphalt corners to increase safety. Loney said that the event is something that the Kelowna BMX club prides itself on hosting. “It’s a feather in our cap. It’s something that we’re really proud to be

Everybody takes their turn holding it at different tracks around the province.” Although financial gain was not a priority, the club did gain a bit of revenue after hosting this past weekend. “We did make some money this year, which is nice for the track.

Vertigo is a more specific term and implies that there is a rotational component to your dizziness—either the room is spinning around you or you are spinning in the room. Both vertigo and dizziness are symptoms, not a diagnosis, so part of my job is to assess and determine the possible cause and to provide treatment. As mentioned in previous columns, one of the most common conditions within the inner ear I treat is a condition called BPPV—benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. This is the most common form of dizziness and is caused by a crystal that is free floating with-

Treatment of BPPV is quite effective. Unfortunately, along with the easy to recognize inner ear dysfunctions are the not-so-clear problems and diagnosis.

ne of the credentials after my name is vestibular therapist. I am often asked what exactly that means. The vestibular system (located in your inner ear) is responsible for sense of movement, body orientation and balance. The vestibular system, along with our eyes, muscles and joints send constant feedback to our brain about our body’s movement and orientation. Dysfunctions, disorders, trauma or viruses that affect the inner ear can be a potential cause of vertigo, dizziness, decreased balance, tinnitus (ringing in the ears) or a change in hearing. As a vestibular therapist, I am qualified to asrsess the potential causes of the mentioned symptoms and to provide treatment helping to decrease dizziness, vertigo and improve balance. Dizziness is the umbrella term that refers to a sensation of abnormal, unwanted, movement—

West gets a kick seeing photo montages set to her music Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
As an independent musician, making ends meet can be a rough experience, but local singer/ songwriter Leah West is working out a formula. Using a couple of licensing agencies, she has sold the rights to five of her songs this summer for television shows—though she doesn’t know which ones. “I can imagine if I put out a couple of more albums, I could make a decent living off this,” said West, who is also an oil painter and photographer. Licensing songs to earn royalties has always been an option in the music business, but with the advent of the Internet, and various forms of social media, the options are far greater than for previous generations of musical talent. West, for example, got herself signed to the licensing agencies after two of her songs went into international rotation via a contest she entered. The process brought with it new contacts and tips and

had people all over the world looking her up. She then licensed her song Guardian Angel through Animoto, a video-making software company, and now anyone—from photographers to proud parents—can set their images to her music.

I’M STILL MOSTLY AN UNKNOWN ARTIST…BUT ALL THESE LITTLE THINGS ARE DEFINITELY HELPING
She has already started to reap the rewards. “I’m still mostly an unknown artist…but all these little things are definitely helping,” she said. Now the proud mother of oodles of video soundtracks, she gets to watch her lyrics light up the lives of others as people frequently look her up after

selecting her song and send her a copy of their video. “Some of them are really touching,” she said. “To see their lives to the soundtrack of my song, I don’t know how to say it, it’s just awesome.” So far, West has licensed Spring, True Intimacy, Caught in Your Web, Beautiful, Guardian Angel, Beyond Words, Orange Bliss, Simple Love and Anything for You. Though she’s really a songwriter at heart, West still has a heavy performance schedule and can be found around town four times this month. She plays at Duncan’s Bistro on Lawrence Avenue today (Friday, Aug. 12); in Kopje Park in Lake Country Saturday, Aug. 13; at the RCA from 5-7 p.m. for the Live After 5 Summer Concert Series on Thursday, Aug. 18; and at The Bike Shop on Ellis Street on Thursday, Aug. 25 from 7-9 p.m. The Live After Five series is running all summer at the RCA with listings at www.rotarycentrefothearts.com jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

DESTIN, Fla.— Folks in landlocked St. Louis love to visit beaches. And 750 miles (1,200 km) south are some of the most beautiful sugar-sand beaches surrounded by emerald waters.
A couple of months ago I came across a deal for a new commercial airline, Vision Airlines. To promote its new services to St. Louis, the carrier was offering $39 each way deals to Destin/Fort Walton Beach. I jumped at the chance, wrote a blog about it and told everyone I knew.

I talked my sister into a girls weekend. Each of us got our airfare for less than $100 total. That said, Vision is still working out the kinks and
nearly all legs of our trip were late (most by about 30 minutes; one by three hours). But you can’t beat the price—and the free cookies they hand out.

overlooking the pool and with a 180-degree view of the ocean (except where blocked by the other tower). The best thing about the place is its location, right in the heart of the action on the Harborwalk Village, which is filled with restaurants, bars, the harbor, live music, shops and more. There is also a boat shuttle that takes you
to a nearby beach (you can see it from the hotel), which is set up with free chairs and umbrellas for hotel guests. The shuttle runs about every 20 minutes. Rooms run from $420 for a four-bedroom, four-bathroom unit to $234 for a one-bedroom, two-bathroom unit (emerSee Beaches A25

From get-together with sister to fun weekend with daughter Beaches from A24 aldgrande.com). What we did—Because we were there to see my cousins, we spent several hours on Saturday and Sunday with my family, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t have time for other things, such as lounging on the beach or at the pool, frou frou drink in hand. We also went on a two-hour dolphin cruise with the Southern Star ($29 adults; southernstardolphincruise.com). We saw dolphins leaping from the water, surfacing very near the boat in groups of as many as five. We also tried our hand at the WaveRunner, which was a great idea in theory but it didn’t work out so well for us. Once we got past the no wake signs, we kicked the WaveRunner in gear and went ... nowhere. Our WaveRunner wouldn’t go past 6 mph. I can run faster than that. We decided to make the best of it and visit Crab Island, a sandbar on the north side of the Destin bridge where boats anchor and people walk around in water that was 2 feet deep while we were there. This is where the locals anchor to spend the day swimming, snorkeling, bouncing on a water trampoline and even playing football. When we returned the WaveRunner we told the folks at Boogie Sports about it, they pulled seaweed from the bottom (they had warned us about seaweed but said the WaveRunner would beep if there were a problem) and shrugged. Where we ate—As moms of young kids, my sister and I rarely get a chance to go out drinking without having to worry about driving, baby-sitters, kids waking up in the middle of the night. So, with so many restaurrant choices on the boardwalk next to our hotel, we took full advantage. Our favorites were Harry T’s, a fun restaurant with bar food, seafood and the biggest desserts you’ve ever seen and AJ’s, which had great views, great seafood (I especially loved the blackened grouper) and great live music (I swear that guy sounded just like Kenny Chesney). My cousins introduced us to Another Broken Egg. It’s a Destin institution with four locations. We tried two of them and loved our decadent breakfasts. First, I tried a smoked salmon on English muffin with egg and cream cheese. The next day, it was the bananas foster waffle; I’m
still having dreams about it. Next time—My sister and I are both very early risers. The pool doesn’t open until 8 a.m., and the shuttles to the beach don’t start until 9 a.m. However, there are several cruises and excursions that head out as early as 7 a.m. So instead of wasting time lounging around the hotel room, I would have booked something earlier in the day (and avoided the crowds). —Amy Bertrand
FUN WEEKEND
Why we went—My daughter, Megan, and I don’t get to see each other often with our busy schedules. I work full time, and she’s a full-time college student, plus she works two part-time jobs. We both love the outdoors, so a weekend trip to Destin was the perfect setting for mom-daughter bonding, dining and beachy watersports. Where we stayed— We booked a room at the Inn on Destin Harbor, a waterfront boutique hotel (innondestinharbor.com). We arrived Friday evening during a heavy downpour, making it difficult to even find the hotel. Once we

We’re pet lovers, so when a few canines passed us in the lobby, we had to stop and play. We spent our first rainy day at the

TRAVEL Beaches from A25 a comfy outdoor cabana highlighted the spacious deck. We used it for cover from the everlasting rain. The only thing missing at our hotel was a poolside bar, or any bar. What we did—Because our weekend consisted of so much rain, shopping and dining became the highlight of our trip. Destin’s outlet mall, Silver Sands Factory Stores, is a shopper’s paradise. The mall proved to be a hit with my daughter, offering more than 100 designer names, and
we popped into at least 50 stores. Our favorite shopping experience happened at the Timex and Coach outlets (we won’t talk about how much we spent). Alvin’s Island Tropical Department stores were packed with shoppers seeking Boogie Boards, flip-flops, hair feather extensions, swimsuits and beach chairs. We picked up a few Destin tees for family and friends and grabbed a few sundresses for my daughter. Where we ate—After hours of shopping we headed to the beach at The Back Porch Seafood
and Oyster House, just west of Henderson Beach State Park. The heavy rain changed to a hard sprinkle, so we decided to rent two beach chairs ($25 a day for two). We toughed it out, covering ourselves with beach towels to soak up the raindrops, sipped tropical drinks and ate crab and spinach dip with nachos from the restaurant. You name it, the restaurant had it: soups, salads, fish, pastas and even chicken tenders and popcorn shrimp for the little ones. One evening, we pulled into Hog’s Breath Saloon and Cafe for a

Play it safe over summer. Summer season is in full swing, with great weather, summer vacations, and outdoor entertaining the order of the day. But spending more time outdoors using backyard barbeques and having pool parties can leave you and your home vulnerable to damage and liability. Before you fire up the BBQ or jump in for a cool down, remember these safety precautions to keep your family, friends, and home safe. Whether you’re entertaining family and friends or just looking to cook up a tasty dinner, barbeques present a safety risk to you and your home. Before you fire ‘er up, remember these handy tips:
the hose. If bubbles appear, you have a leak and you must repair or replace the part(s) before using the barbeque again. Check the valves too. t 8IFO ZPV GJOJTI CBSCFRVJOH turn off the cylinder valve first, then the grill controls.

quick drink and appetizer. After 30 minutes of sniffing the fabulous barbecue and smoked meat scent, we gave in and ordered a full rack of smoked loin back ribs. Hog’s Breath was well worth a stop for a mouth-watering dinner. One evening, we ventured next door to Marina Cafe and ordered the gulf shrimp linguine and the pan seared yellowedge grouper with jumbo lump crab. Windows line the back of the restaurant, which gives the interior an open feeling, and we had a fabulous view of the Harbor, even on a rainy evening. For breakfast, we tried the free continental breakfast from our hotel and stopped at The Donut Hole for brunch another morning. I ordered the big breakfast sandwich, and Megan opted for the western omelette. The homemade doughnuts looked amazing, but we skipped the extra calories. Next time—I’m not taking any rain chances. I will book a longer trip to Florida (fiveday or more). Odds are, I’ll get some sunny days for watersports. Oh, did I mention the sun came out as our plane took off? —Karen Deer
ROMANTIC GETAWAY
Why we went—My husband and I loved traveling before our children were born. After becoming parents, however, all our vacations centered on kid-friendly destinations our little ones would enjoy. After more than eight years without taking a trip alone, we were overdue a grown-up getaway.
CONTRIBUTED
A LIVELY AREA around Destin harbor includes bars, live music, boutiques and family attractions. Where we stayed— Our flight was delayed several hours departing from St. Louis, and the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa (sandestinbeachhilton.com) is about 24 miles from the airport, so we didn’t get to our hotel room until after midnight. But waking up the next morning to the sound of crashing waves was an ideal way to start the weekend. Stepping onto the balcony with a stunning view of the Gulf was even better. The hotel is in a prime location, with a private beach for guests a short walk from the oversized guest rooms. Umbrella and two-chair beach setup costs $42.80 for the day, and we used this service both days. The resort is a magnet for families, conferences and weddings, so expect it be hopping during the peak season. Part of our room’s private balcony overlooked one
of the three hotel pools, which are open into the evening hours. The staff was exceptionally friendly, and there was a vibe of Southern hospitality at the hotel restaurants we visited. Self-parking a car at the hotel costs $10 a day and valet is $20. The room we stayed in, a beachfront room in the Spa Tower, had a king bed, a sofa sleeper and a parlor area. Rates start from $179 to $499, depending on season and availability. What we did—I was living a Mastercard commercial when I was lying on sugar-white sand, under a beaming sun with emerald green water in front of us. Drink: $7. Sunscreen: $15. Being able to relax on a beach without worrying about a child possibly drowning or needing to use a bathroom every hour: Priceless. As part of the child-free weekend, we indulged in a couple’s

massage and facials at the Serenity by the Sea Spa, stopped by the outlet malls and visited Baytowne Village, across from the hotel property, which is a lively area around a harbor with bars, live music, boutiques and family attractions. But our favorite vacation game is playing fantasy real estate, when we drive through the most scenic parts of town and pick out the homes we would purchase if we won the lottery. Our drive took us through quaint coastal communities along 30A, including Seaside, the picture-perfect community where “The Truman Show� was filmed. What we ate—We had a sublime meal at the hotel’s AAA, Four-Diamond restaurant, Seagar’s Prime Steaks and Seafood. Be sure to save room for the bananas foster, which is prepared quite dramatically table-side. The restaurant has a private wine room, with a single table setting for two, which can be booked for free for wedding proposals. Many diamond engagement rings have been hidden inside elaborate desserts, according to the restaurant’s general manager. We also enjoyed the breakfast buffet at the hotel’s Sandcastles Restaurant, which was better quality than most breakfast buffets. Next time—My husband learned a painful lesson about the intensity of the Florida sun after our first day on the beach and in the water. He was burned lobster red because he failed to reapply the sunscreen we packed. We had to make a trip to the pharmacy for aloe vera gel, but he was still pretty uncomfortable the rest of the trip. We loved this vacation so much, we are already planning our return. And next time, we’ll bring the kids. —Aisha Sultan

NEWS ▼ HUMANITARIAN MISSION
Local woman suffers health setback Jan Whelan CONTRIBUTOR
Jacqui Light worked for many years at CIBC, from Victoria to Kelowna where she became manager at the Capri branch. She was very dedicated, caring and hard working which earned her a top team rating. After leaving the world of banking, she purchased Guisachan Esthetics Salon. For many years she worked with customers with her loving and caring touch. Jacqui always said that she would have three callings. In 2009, Jacqui embarked on a mission trip to Thailand that would change the course of her life. Later she travelled to Cambodia and immediately fell in love with the country and people. While in Thailand, she connected with an organization that assisted women to come out of prostitution. Their only skills for training the women was baking, sewing and card making. When they discovered that Jac-
qui was an esthetician, they invited her back to Thailand to teach several groups of women her trade, which she so willingly did. Not long after that, Jacqui relocated to Cambodia, and started a spa where she employed over 40 local Cambodians. She also helped many people over the course of time to improve their lives. Her real dream was to start a Non-Profit Organization to further help the Cambodian people. Recently, her dream became a reality when the Cambodian government approved her organization, which is called The Cambodian Poor Children’s Education Organization. Her hopes and dreams are to develop a piece of land, on the Thai border of Cambodia, called Preveire. The people of Preveire have never been educated and her plan is to build a community of homes, a school and to educate these families and their children, giving them hope for a better life.
Just weeks ago, Jacqui’s organization was registered with the Cambodian government and she started with renting a building to house a group of orphans. But health concerns have put a damper on her plans as Jacqui has suddenly become very ill and is in an induced coma at a hospital in Bangkok. Her daughter, Stephanie, and her sister, Linda, are with her. Financial help is needed for Stephanie to be able to bring her mom home to Canada, hopefully within a week. Her medical insurance has expired and the cost of her health care is $80,000. A trust fund has been set up at CIBC’s Mission Branch. Donations will be gratefully accepted at any CIBC location.

is unpredictable. Your garden may not be designed on paper, but the more thought you put into it, the better the results will be. For starters, learn from last year’s mistakes. At the end of every gardening season look over your list of disappointments and make notes of what not to plant next year Once you review what
did and didn’t work this year, take a moment to consider what plants will be happy in our Okanagan climate. Be prepared to mulch early in the spring. Every spring, you wait to see what plants have selfseeded and which tender perennials made it through the winter and will be putting in an encore appearance.
But waiting for flower seedlings to emerge also means giving weed seedlings time to pop up— everywhere. Also think about planting more shrubs. There was time when new perennials were the holy grail of the gardening world. Trees and shrubs were for common landscapers, not cultivated garden-
ers. Well, have you seen the shrubs out there on the market recently? They’re textured. They’re colourful, They have flowers and berries. They don’t require months of endless pinching and primping. Resolve to add more shrubs to your garden borders. And learn more about shrubs that take to the Okanagan climate.

dad and mom, my grandparents ran the farming operation on Ethel Street across from Cottonwoods Extended Care. Yes, what most of you remember as a garden centre flower shop and nursery operation was a farm which grew potatoes, corn, chickens, pigs and dairy cattle. So no wonder when I get out to that farm in Beiseker it feels like I just went back in time to my childhood. What makes it even more incredible is Robin Redding still farms about 40 of his 900 acres with a 1918 Case steam tractor and several teams of horses. The threshing machine he uses was used by his father as well as the other equipment that is still in perfect working condition. I plan on going out there this October for a week to help with the harvest so I’ll tell you all about it when I get back. I would love to do one thing when go out there and that is drive out with a B train dump truck and bring back a load of that beautiful black Alberta farm soil. It truly is something to see.

NEWS â&#x2013;ź STEWART BROTHERS NURSERIES
Family marks century milestone Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Over the last 100 years, Stewart Brothers Nurseries has changed considerably. However, one thing has remained the sameâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a family affair. Founded in 1911 by brothers Richard John and William Stewart from County Kildare, Ireland, the nurseries have been passed down to three generations. Richard Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five granddaughtersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Colleen Mulvihill, Sandra Bjarnason, Kate Stewart, Jennifer Stewart and Julie Crawfordâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;now own and operate the nurseries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It started out very localized in the valley with fruit trees and now we specialize in prairie hardy (deciduous and coniferous) trees. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re certainly much larger than we were 100 years ago,â&#x20AC;? said Mulvihill. In the 1980s, the nursery expanded by adding growing fields in Midway and Grand Forks. According to Bjarnason, the nursery is only six years older than the City of Kelowna itself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The City of Kelowna was incorporated in 1905. The population was approximately 600 people,â&#x20AC;? said Bjarnason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kelowna was merely a small town that serviced the rural population of surrounding orchards and farms.â&#x20AC;? Richard John immigrated to Canada in 1908 when he was 25 years old. He and brother William saved enough money to start the nursery in 1911.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the first few years, they grew lots of vegetables as well as trees. The vegetable crop was a good income generating product because it took a few years growth for the trees to be saleable,â&#x20AC;? said Bjarnason. Mulvihill said that the success of the nursery came thanks to her hardworking grandfather. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had a very strong work ethic. Back in those days, they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ship in containers and pots like they do now, so they were very busy from when they started digging the trees until they were all shipped,â&#x20AC;? said Mulvihill. The sisters agree that the work ethic has been passed down through the generations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dad (Bill Stewart) was out at the nursery every Sunday morning. He worked beside his workers and he worked very hard,â&#x20AC;? said Mulvihill. Bill joined the nursery full-time in the 1940s. He assumed sole ownership of the nursery in the early 1960s. Billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five daughters do their best today to carry on the family tradition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think working with your siblings does have some challenges, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to overcome them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for the business that we overcome those challenges,â&#x20AC;? said Mulvihill. She noted that the nurseries have many longterm employees who have been with the business for more than 30 years. This weekend, the descendants of Richard John, and his wife, Lucy

grandchildren and 13 great-great grandchildren. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tour of the nursery; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the highlight. Then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having a family dinner at our cousinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lavender farm,â&#x20AC;? Mulvihill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having a dinner celebration on Saturday and then Sunday is our employee luncheon.â&#x20AC;? As for the next 100 years, Mulvihill hopes Stewart Brothers Nurseries will remain a family operation.

City in Summer evenings in the garden Action ▼ OUTDOOR THERAPY
GARDENING WITH NATURE
O
Gwen Steele
ne of my favourite pastimes on a summer evening is puttering about in my flower gardens. The air is a pleasant temperature after the heat of the day, all the fascinating insects and birds that hang out in my garden are still busily feeding and the sunsets are often spectacular. I mostly spend my time cutting off finished blooms (deadheading). There are generally some weeds to pull as well. My weeding is minimized because the ground is covered with mulch. As a child I disliked the chore of weeding in our family’s 1/2 acre of gardens but now I find it very meditative. Over the years I have learned which perennials will bloom again if they are deadheaded, so there is an incentive to do this task. It’s enjoyable to be with each plant and see how it is doing. Repeat bloomers are the backbone of the garden, giving a long season of colour. Many repeat bloomers have small side shoot buds hidden in leaves on
the stem below the dead flower. I always check where to cut to avoid losing the next flush of flowers. Salvia varieties and Jupiter’s Beard (Centanthus ruber) are examples of this type of growth. With daisies like corepsis, echinacea, gaillardia and rudbeckia it is easy to cut the stem immediately above where the next flower stem arises. These are all good cut flowers. Years ago I discovered grape pruners. They are my tool of choice for deadheading individual flowers or cutting a bouquet. They are small, light weight and very sharp. The threadleaf coreopsis varieties like ‘Zagreb’ are much simpler to deadhead. They have a mass of tiny daisies above a mound of fine foliage. After about a month, when the flowers are finished, it is time to shear about one inch off the whole top of the plant. New buds will be just below the cut. This action can be repeated several times a season from June to October. To do this type of shearing I have always used an old pair of wooden handled grass edge clippers inherited 40 years ago from the owners of our first house. Just recently, I treated myself to a new light weight pair, with a rubber shock absorber and longer handles so I can often

COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS Transit Future Plan
Council endorsed the Transit Future Plan as the guiding document for expansion of public transit service over the next 25 years. The plan calls for a gradual increase in transit funding to expand service and attract more riders. Expanded hours and higher frequency of bus service is foreseen to meet a population that that is expected to reach 264,000 Central Okanagan residents by 2036. Council directed staff to work with BC Transit on a five-year capital and operating plan that can be accommodated through the City’s annual budget process.
Housing Strategy
A draft report on the City’s Housing Strategy was presented to Council. The report provides a number of findings and recommendations that will be presented at a public workshop, along with key priorities Council will identify at its Sept. 12 morning meeting. The public workshop is planned for Sept. 27 at the Laurel Packinghouse, 3:30-6:30 p.m. More details will be publicized closer to the workshop.
OCP Amendment - Building Heights
Council gave first reading to an Official Community Plan bylaw amendment that provides more detail about building heights in the city as a follow-up to the Downtown Plan Charrette process.

ECHINACEA, ‘Gold Plate’ Yarrow, Buddleia and Sedum ‘Matrona’ all entice butterflies and pollinators into my garden. work from a standing position. Last month, at the unH2O Gardens, we drastically sheared back the Walker’s low nepeta that had bloomed since April. It’s an example of a perennial that sends up new growth from the base to give another flush of bloom in late summer. Most of the yarrow varieties will also bloom again late in August if cut back. If lavender is deadheaded it usually blooms again in late summer. If your plant needs shaping, this is a good time to do it.
Branches can be cut back by up to 1/3. This Sunday is the deadline for the early bird draw for OXA’s Xeriscape Garden Contest. Final deadline is Aug. 31 when all entries go into a draw for $500. See OXA’s website (below) for details. Gwen Steele is executive-director of the nonprofit Okanagan Xeriscape Association.

Dietitian just an email away ilies. Ten new registered dietitians have been hired, bringing the staff total up to 30. New dietitians will be available to support people in managing their chronic conditions, as well as answering questions on such topics as baby nutrition, allergies and healthy eating in general. Improving access to dietitians with additional hours—and now an email service available through the website www. healthlinkbc.ca/dietitian/ead/disclaimer. stm—is a part of Healthy Families B.C. approach to support British Columbians in managing their own health and reducing chronic disease. A strengthened provincial strategy and ongoing investment in prevention can potentially avoid up to $2 billion in yearly health care costs, according to provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall. Obesity alone costs up to $830 million a year to the economy.

More power in next gen MercedesBenz M-Class Lorne Drury CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
Driving around ‘Open Sky Country’ in Montana, you realize the vast distances we travel in North America. Here, you can drive on some routes where you go for miles without seeing another soul. It’s just you and the open road. In places like this, you really get a chance to enjoy driving again. Sure there may be some hold ups when you get behind a slow-moving RV, a logging truck or the local cattle rancher checking out his 10,000-acre spread, but most times its smooth sailing on roads that for the most part are amazingly free of frost heaves
and potholes. And this is an area that gets lots of snow. In fact, some of it was still visible on the mountain peaks that dot the landscape even though our visit was in mid-July. In the valleys and the plains of Montana, many of the roads are straight and inviting. The 75 mph state highway speed limit gives you a chance to open things up a bit and really enjoy driving as it is meant to be. But soon, you’re back into the mountains, and the roads start to snake through narrow passes with thundering mountain streams running alongside them. So the key to driving See M-B B2

here is to have a vehicle that makes you feel both comfortable and safe. And that’s just the way I felt when I stepped off a plane at Missoula airport and the Mercedes folks walked me over to one of their new 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class SUVs that we came here to test drive. The new M-Class doesn’t feel too big or too small, too powerful or too tame. Get in it and go. It’s quite simply an easy vehicle to drive—a sport ute that handles like a car, but has the level of utility families desire in their luxury SUV. Now entering its third generation, the Alabamabuilt ML 350 hasn’t been changed dramatically. Call it more of a refresh or a refinement than anything else. After all, this is one of the vehicles that has set the standard in the luxury sport utility segment. So Mercedes-Benz appears to have decided, if it ain’t broken, don’t fiddle with it too much. With Canadian sales in the 4,000-range, Mercedes-Benz hopes to grow sales of the M-Class here even further, moving up on the Lexus RX350 and BMW X5 that lead the segment. The 2012 MClass vehicles start arriving at dealerships in September, initially with two engine choices. The first two models of the next generation are the ML 350 Bluetec 4MATIC with a revised 3.0-litre V6 turbo diesel and the ML 350 4MATIC with a
new 3.5-litre direct injection V6 gasoline engine. Both are mated to a sevenspeed automatic transmission that shifts smoothly and quickly. No front-wheel drive is available, only the 4MATIC full-time allwheel drive. The Bluetec, first offered in the 2012 Mercedes S-Class, has 240 hp and 455 lb/ft of torque, offering more power and better fuel efficiency. The horsepower and torque levels are both up 14 per cent over the outgoing engine. If you tow a boat or travel trailer, the ML 350 Bluetec will pull 3,500 kg. Meanwhile, the 3.5-litre V6 gasoline engine makes 302 hp and 273 lb/ft of torque. Fuel economy has been improved by about 10 per cent over the outgoing engine. Both are good engines, but Mercedes marketing people tell us they expect 80 per cent of Canadian sales will be diesels. Although you wouldn’t think fuel costs would be a concern for these highend buyers, surveys show that Mercedes customers rate good fuel economy and safety features as the top two reasons for choosing the M-Class. A V8 model of the MClass, the ML550, will arrive in the first quarter of 2012, undoubtedly followed by an AMG version. In Canada, all ML 350 models will have the AMG exterior styling See M-B B4

A Leather Package includes leather upholstery and an ARTICO leather dashboard. Take the Advanced Driving Assist Package and you get Distronic Plus adaptive cruise con-

MERCEDES-BENZ M-CLASS offers two models, a 3.5L DOHC direct injection V6 and a 3.0L turbo Bluetec diesel. changes are subtle from a wider track to a slightly lower height. The wheelbase is unchanged at 2,915 mm. Inside, the cabin of the M-Class is both sporty and practical. Fit and finish is excellent and the high-quality materials exude the look of luxury with nice use of wood and aluminum trim throughout. This is a two-row, mid-size SUV with seating for five. Even for a 6-footer like myself there is plenty of legroom in the second row. Cargo capacity is generous with 690 litres available with the back seat in place and 2,100 litres with the seats folded. We got to sample both engines and there’s no doubt the diesel would be my choice. It has more low-end grunt than the gasoline version, but suffers a bit in power as you
climb the rev scale. Of course, better fuel economy is the key with this model. And for those who haven’t experienced one of the new clean diesel engines, try one. You’ll be amazed at how smooth and quiet they are. No pricing was announced, but MercedesBenz officials said the diesel will remain a $1,500 premium over the gasoline engine. All in, they say pricing will be little changed from the current model, despite more standard features on the new one. The suspension on the new ML is much the same as before with a four-link setup in the rear and double wishbones up front. Steering is now electric assisted. Generally, the ride is smooth and quiet and the handling fairly precise for a vehicle that weighs in at 2,175 kg.
So for the third generation of a vehicle that helped set the standard in the midsize luxury SUV class, the ML350 is now more powerful, more fuel efficient and yet more refined than ever. As I mentioned earlier, you just feel comfortable in it. All this bodes well for continued success of the new MClass models.

Mazdaspeed3 adds more zoom to practical Neil Moore CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
I’ve never been one to let a bit of bother spoil an otherwise good time. Whether that be speeches at a wedding reception, carnies at a summer midway or some moron texting during a great action film, sometimes you have to dig through a little poop to find the pony. In an automotive context, just about every great ride has its flaw, and in the Mazdaspeed3 that would be torque steer. Not that I typically begin a review with a gripe, but this is tone I’d like to get that off my chest before discussing what’s first-rate about Mazda’s second-generation hot hatch. With a turbocharged 2.3-litre four cylinder engine delivering 263 hp and 280 lb/ft of torque to the front wheels, the Mazdaspeed3 will pull sideways under hard throttle. Sure Mazda has optimized the stiffness of the left and right drive shafts, and has even added a limited-slip differential, but stomp on the gas and you’ll see what I mean. Is it a deal breaker? Perhaps in a lesser vehicle, but not in one that sprints from zero to 100 km/h in around six seconds. Let me air another f minor grievance: Mazda’s signature grille. This big, black plastic ‘smile’ is flanked by a pair of projector headlamp ‘eyes,’ resembling one of the cartoon characters from the Cars 2 movie. Some like
it, some don’t , so if you’re from the latter camp, opt for a black paint job and it’ll blend in nicely. Well, that’s it for carping. In terms of the things that really matter ñ performance, comfort, content and fun for the buck ñ the Mazdaspeed3 gets high marks. I’ve already mentioned the boosted powerplant, which cranks out nearly 100 more horses (and 112 lb/ft) than the Mazda3 Sport ñ the hatchback model on which it is based. But there’s more to this car than just raw power. Mazda has taken an award-winning platform and has enhanced it. The Sport’s body is already plenty stiff, but in the Mazdaspeed3, it has received additional reinforcements for an even more rigid structure. This allows for a firmer suspension with spring rates tuned specifically for this vehicle’s MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspensions. It also gets larger stabilizer bars and special dampers for less roll. In addition, the Speed3 is equipped with specially tuned electrohydraulic power steering for low speed manoeuvrability, and larger front and rear disc brakes. The exterior also receives a few tweaks to distinguish it from its siblings. Most noticeable is the functional hood-mounted air intake to feed the
OTHER THAN A FUNCTIONAL hood scoop and a few subtle styling cues, you’ll find few outward differences between the Mazdaspeed3 (shown) and the Mazda3 Sport, upon which it was based. But push the throttle, and its 263 hp and 280 lb/ft of torque will convince you they’re quite unlike under the hood. CONTRIBUTED

Available as a fourdoor sedan or a five-door hatchback, it replaces the Aveo that was built in Korea. The Sonic will be built in Michigan. Pricing has yet to be announced. It is a pert design with a high beltline and low roofline that accentuates the adornment-free body sidelines.

Design details that improve the look of the new Sonic include chrome grille surrounds and matte black honeycomb grille inserts on all models, while a range of large wheel sizes, including 17inch alloy wheels, reinforces its sporty flare. The standard engine is the same one used in the Chevrolet Cruze being a 1.8-litre inline, fourcylinder producing 135 hp and 123 lb/ft of torque. This engine features a two-stage variable intake manifold that delivers up to 90 per cent of peak torque from 2,400 rpm all the way up to 6,500 rpm.

ger rear spoiler and 18inch bright finish alloy wheels with 225/40R18 performance tires. On the inside, you get the ample passenger room and generous 481 litre cargo hold (1,213 litres with rear 60/40 seats folded) common to the Mazda3 Sport, along with deeply bolstered sports seats in a nice combination of leather and redpatterned fabric, with red double stitching. Colour and pattern define the interior, as seat inserts match the fabric door inserts, with more red stitching in the steering wheel, shift boot and centre armrest, along with red displays. Mazdaspeed floor mats and scuff plates, along with aluminum foot pedals and foot rest (and turbo boost gauge) complete the race-inspired look. As you would expect in a top-trim compact, the Mazdaspeed3 comes standard with such amenities as dual zone automatic climate controls, exterior temperature gauge, tilt and telescopic steering with wheel-mounted cruise and audio controls, power locks and windows and Bluetooth handsfree phone. My tester came with the Technology Package, which bumps the $29,695 base price another $2,440. This adds a 10-speaker Bose audio system with six-CD changer, adaptive front lighting system, intelligent key with pushbutton start, power driver’s seat and multi-info display with navigation. The 3.5-inch nav screen, however, which also includes such info as fuel economy, average speed, audio presets and system preferences, is fine for eagle-eyed twentysomethings, but for those of us over 40, is a challenge to decipher without reading glasses. Indeed, the car comes well equipped, but what really sells the Mazdaspeed3 is the driving experience. Its naturally-aspirated sibling, evidenced by the number on the road, is an easy car to live with. But how would a more tightlywound version of this car fare as a daily driver? Torque steer aside, and once you get used to the firm travel and abrupt takeup of its clutch, the
Mazdaspeed3 can be a delight. That is, if you enjoy driving a manual. Which is the only way you can order the Mazdaspeed3. In the current six-speed gearbox, gear ratios have been revised, with taller 2nd through 5th to fully exploit the 2.3-litre turbo’s abundant torque band. The short-throw shifter is itself light and a joy to use, helped by the lowviscosity transmission fluid, which makes shifting easier when the engine is cold. Big wheels, wide performance rubber and a tuned suspension help keep the Mazdaspeed3 firmly glued to the road. The traction control graphic will light up if you push hard in first and even in second gear, but that can be disabled if you prefer a little wheelspin. Sure, most handling problems associated with front drive could be overcome with a good allwheel-drive system. But that would likely nudge the cost into the high thirties where the Subaru STI begins and fewer can afford. In the Mazdaspeed3, the company seems to have found the right balance between performance, content and price, making it an ideal ride for those still needing a practical car, but with plenty of zoom zoom. What makes this car a harsher rider also makes it a tenacious handler: nothing I could safely do on city streets was enough to upset the car’s composure. The car’s massive grip comes, mostly, courtesy of its larger wheels and tires (225/40R18) and thicker sway bars, but a stiffer body structure plays an important part, reducing flex in the structure so that the up-rated suspension can keep the wheels glued to the road.

In Memory of
Edward William Kirby 1932 - 2010
It’s been a year since you went away, I wish you had a longer time to stay, I gaze around at your empty chair, I Often wish you were still sitting there, We knew you were suffering, We knew you were in pain, They said you would never get well again. You suffered much in silence, Your spirit did not bend, You faced your pain with courage until The very end. God saw the road was getting rough, The hills were hard to climb So he closed your weary blue eyes and said Peace be thine. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you Didn’t go alone, for part of us went with You the day God called you home.
Love you hon, rest in peace. Betty and Family

REB board member. “Significant inventory, coupled with a lull in overall demand, weak economic performance and negative reports regarding debt loads have cooled consumer confidence despite positive population and job growth in B.C. “Some market segments are holding their own in the OkanaganShuswap while others like the recreation and investment segments are down. “We are hopeful the current warm weather and influx of potential out-oftown buyers will result in modest gains during August.” Jorgenson said serious buyers are seeking wellpriced properties in the Central Okanagan, recognizing that now is the time to negotiate while there is still a good selection of homes and less competition on offers, and while mortgage rates continue to remain favourable. “They are looking to avoid interest risk, knowing that higher rates anticipated later this year will impact their purchasing power and determine

the home they can afford,” Jorgenson said. Properties with good curb appeal that are priced by vendors with the sharpest pencils are selling quickly in this competitive market, he noted. Meanwhile, the results of OMREB’s area-wide monthly buyers’ survey profiling who the buyers are, what they are buying and where they are from shows the majority of buyers are local, and that first-time and move-up buyers are the driving factors in the real estate market right now.
This location is truly unlike any other neighbourhood in the Okanagan. Within walking distance, right across the street actually from Seasons, is the new Chute Lake Elementary School. It’s only two years old and already has a great reputation for being one of the best schools in the district, with great teaches and amazing classroom technology. Kettle Valley also features a linked park system throughout the community and both Bertram Park and Cedar Creek Regional Park are nearby. There are many trails for hiking and mountain biking in the Upper Mission, all completely accessible from our community. Adjacent to Seasons is the new commercial building in Kettle Valley which houses such neighbourhood essentials like the Mission Coffee House, Little Owl Academy (preschool/ daycare), Kettle Valley Chiropractic
W OF PRIME INTEREST
Revolving credit lines shouldn’t be maxed out all the time Most of us have heard the following credit banking terms—credit line, line of credit and home equity line of credit. They all mean basically the same— you have credit that’s available to you on a moment’s notice. Most people will utilize the revolving credit to purchase stocks, bonds, RRSPs; have available credit ready to invest in other properties; renovations to an existing home; or to purchase new appliances, vehicles or other personal assets. When we say the credit line “revolves,” we mean its purpose is to draw on that account and pay it back as quickly as possible. Consider it similar to a credit card in that it should be used only when needed and when you possibly have funds coming in to pay it off. Credit lines can be either unsecured or secured, depending on the credit limit of the facility. Interest rates are higher on unsecured credit lines and have much lower limits due to the fact the financial institution does not take any kind of collateral. As for a secured credit line, that means the financial institution will place a mortgage on your property to secure it. The limit of the credit available will be based on a percentage of the value of your home. For example, if your home is valued,
generally by an independent appraisal, at $400,000, and you own a home that does not currently have a mortgage on it, the limit will generally be 80 per cent of that value. So, you could conceivably have a credit limit of $320,000 for future investments. Interest rates for secured credit lines are usually at prime + .5% (3.50%) in today’s market and anywhere from Prime + 2 % (4 %) and up for unsecured credit lines. Understand that the interest rate is “tied” to the financial institution’s prime interest rate. So, as the prime fluctuates up and down, the interest rate being charged to you will do the same. Not everyone should have a credit line. You must be disciplined in using it. Often, borrowers will set up a credit limit and always be at the top of that limit. Bur remember, the purpose of it is to pay it off as quickly as possible and always have an available amount for those quick purchases, renovations, investments, etc. Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of mortgage professionals Trish Balaberde (250-470-8324), Darwyn Sloat (250-718-4117), Arlyne Wilson (250862-1818) and Kristin Rosdal (250-8783007).

and more. The pharmacy is scheduled to open soon. And even though downtown Kelowna is only a short 10-minuite drive away, Kettle Valley maintains a very quaint and peaceful residential feeling. Q: What unique features are in the homes themselves, and why are these important to your buyers? Neumann: The architectural design is beautiful as buyers are tired of the basic box look. The open floorplans create the feeling of space and openness rather than small choppy rooms. The townhomes are three level with three to four bathrooms which are found on every floor providing convenience and flexibility. Q: Who are your key buyer groups and why have they chosen Seasons at Kettle Valley to live? Neumann: Primarily, young families find this community very attractive but we have been generating interest from buyers from all ages and stages—from young couples

to empty nesters, or just about anyone that wants to live in a peaceful, family oriented community. Q: What are your most home popular plans at Seasons and why? Neumann: All the floorplans have been meticulously designed and appeal to our key buyer groups. Buyers have been
most impressed with the 200 square foot flex room in the lower floor as it has so many uses. We have just started marketing and the response has been very positive. Q: Tell us about the developer, Quanta. How long have they been in business and why did you choose Kettle Valley for the Seasons project? Neumann: The Quanta group of companies has been developing homes in Vancouver, Big White Ski Resort and now Kelowna for the past 37 years. We fell in love with the Kettle Valley community and the decision to build Seasons was a very easy one for us.
We knew this was a place where people would want to live. Q: Lastly, how can interested buyers view the homes at Seasons and/or access more information on the project? Neumann: Interested buyers can view our showhome located at the corner of Chute Lake Road and Quichena Drive.

Seasons townhomes appealing
Summer stats still sluggish
Aaron Neumann, president of the development firm behind Seasons, talks about attraction of building within the Village of Kettle Valley. Shauna Nyrose CONTRIBUTOR
Question: There has been a lot of activity in Kettle Valley lately. Briefly give us an overview of the Seasons community. Neumann: When we first drove up to the Village of Kettle Valley, we were immediately struck by the beauty of this master planned development. It really is an ideal family neighborhood. The home styles, colour schemes, parks and immaculate landscaping result in a feeling of community that is rarely found elsewhere. The views of Kelowna, West Kelowna and of course, the lake are amazing from up here. Our project, Seasons at Kettle Valley, consists of 21 three- and fourbedroom townhomes, ranging in size from 1,856 to 2,322 square feet. They are priced competitively from $379,900 to $439,900 plus HST. Q: What’s different or unique about Seasons versus other townhome projects in the Okanagan? Neumann: The architectural design and construction detailing is unique to Seasons and ties in perfectly with the master planned community of Kettle Valley. Very few areas in Kelowna have the feel and that sense of “Wow” that has been successfully achieved by the developers of Kettle Valley. The quality and finishings are completed to a very high standard. We are pleased to also include granite kitchen countertops, stainless steel kitchen appliances and air conditioning as standard. This is in contrast to most of other townhome developments, where these features are typically only offered as upgrades. Q: Tell us a little about more about the location and the key amenities in the Kettle Valley and Upper Mission area? Neumann: Kettle Valley is an award-winning community. See Appealing B19
