Conflicting views

Vision.

These two issues are central in defining how the mayor for the City of Kelowna should operate in the minds of incumbent Sharon Shepherd and her likely chief challenger Walter Gray. Both offer different viewpoints on these ideals. The three other mayoral candidates—Cal Condy, Ken Chung and Kim Ouelette— are also quick to echo the same themes. For Shepherd and Gray, the Nov. 19 civic election is

a rematch of the civic election campaign six years ago, when Shepherd surprised many by unseating the incumbent Gray. Capital News assistant editor Alistair Waters interviewed all the mayoral combatants to get their takes on why they should be elected mayor, and in particular how Gray and Shepherd see what they’ve done in their political past as the direction for council to pursue in the future.

CLOSEUP ▼ SHARON SHEPHERD

▼ WALTER GRAY

Sustainability the anchor for city’s future growth

Council needs to literally get back to business

Alistair Waters

ASSISTANT EDITOR

haron Shepherd says she doesn’t have her own vision for Kelowna, she has a community vision. And that vision is contained in the city’s Official Community Plan, which calls for the “greening” of the city with better transportation, environmentally friendly development, appropriate levels of taxation, services that not only satisfy current residents’ needs but also make Kelowna an attractive destination for others wanting to move here. The overall goal is simple, she says—to make Kelowna the top mid-sized city in the country. For Shepherd, that means addressing issues such as sustainability, policing, transportation and transit, affordable housing, what she calls smart development and providing the services residents want, expect and need. She feels the city, under her watch as mayor, is doing that but she also acknowledges more work needs to be done. And that’s why, after 15 years on city council—the first nine as a councillor and the last six as mayor— she wants to keep her job and help the city grow in the sustainable way she promised back when she jumped from neighbourhood activism to become a city councillor in 1996 and again when she first ran for mayor in 2005. “I ran on a promise of sustainability then and I still believe in it,” says Shepherd. But, in part, it’s holding to that belief that has helped contribute to the criticism that some level at her that she is anti-development. “But it’s not true. I an not anti-development,” says the 61-year-old Shepherd, whose daily work schedule would exhaust someone half her age. “I am for sustainable development. I don’t just say yes to everything.” Shepherd and her main opponent, former mayor Walter Gray, have been painted by some as polar opposites when it comes to development in the city. A favourite by many in the business community, Gray is considered by some to be the pro-development candidate, while Shepherd has been labelled by many as anti-development. The councils under her mayoral stewardship have dealt with their share of development issues over the years, but have also been far more involved in social issues than were the previous councils headed up by Gray. But like many stereotypes in politics, the black and white descriptions are over-simplifications—for both of them. Shepherd feels her decision when she first ran for mayor in 2005—in a race she easily won against the then three-term incumbent Gray—to not accept campaign donations from developers has helped fuel the feeling that she is opposed to development. But, in reality, she says, nothing could be farther from the truth. “I have friends who are developers but most of my (campaign funding) comes from family and friends,” she says.

f there is one thing mayoral front runners Walter Gray and Sharon Shepherd agree on, it’s that this election is about leadership. But that’s where the agreement seems to end. Both feel their style of leadership differs from the other and both feel that now is the time for their style. As the challenger this time around, Gray is painting himself as the man to right what he sees as a dysfunctional council, one he believes is not balanced, is not effective, can’t, and is not seen as being able to, make decisions and one that lacks leadership—his brand of leadership. He says he believes there is a feeling of frustration in the community—particularly among business leaders—that Kelowna is not open for business anymore. And that, he says, has to change. “And even if that’s not true, that’s the perception,” says Gray, who at 72 says he feels younger and fitter than he did six years ago when he lost the mayor’s job to Shepherd following nine year’s in the mayor’s chair during a time when both the provincial and local economy boomed and the city experienced rapid growth. “I think there’s a huge opportunity for my style.” But that was then and this is now. Faced with a sluggish economy that is being bogged down by many external factors, the halcyon days of developers lining up to build here are behind us. The current glut of condos on the market are testament to what was built and the lack of money being bandied around for new developments is an indication of how tough times have become. Several developers have pulled out of projects here even after getting the required approvals. But that has not dulled Grays’s desire to re-enter the world of civic politics. When he talks about being mayor, he says he tried for a year to get other, like-minded people to run but met with no success. So, at the urging of others, he decided to do it himself, stepping back to where he so humiliatingly lost six years ago in his first head-to-head election contest with Shepherd. Admitting he did not run a great campaign, in part because of his ongoing duties as mayor but also because he underestimated Shepherd, Gray said he got over the loss quickly. “I was past it in 24 hours,” he says, noting part of that had to do with the birth of his granddaughter the day of the election. Since then he has concentrated on his business—he started the Kelowna radio station K96 and was a partner in a cable television company in Salmon Arm. Both of those businesses have now been sold and that left him time to consider another run for mayor. When Gray talks about the job he seeks, he talks about being a hands-on leader, a mayor who will re-establish the personal relationships he had with Liberal government ministers in Victoria for the last four years of his tenure as mayor. And when he talks about vision, he says it far exceeds the three-year term he hopes to win Nov. 19

CLOSE-UP

Lower profile mayoral hopefuls want to be heard Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Cal Condy describes himself as one of the “others” running for mayor. With high-profile candidates, incumbent Kelowna Mayor Sharon Shepherds and former mayor Walter Gray the acknowledged frontrunners in the race, it could be easy for the views of fellow mayoral candidates Cal Condy, Ken Chung and Kim Ouellette to get lost in all the political rhetoric. The trio of lesserknown candidates—there were five when nominations closed two weeks ago but Diana Van Beest and Charles Hardy have since pulled out—say they are in it to win and, like Gray, feel a change is needed not only in the mayor’s office but also on council. “We need a new mayor, and not the old one,”

says Condy in reference to Shepherd and Gray respectively. He feels Shepherd is not forceful enough and Gray is too far to the right of the political spectrum. Condy sees the mayor as the person who leads council and charts a course for the city. “The mayor has to be more forceful in pushing things through,” says Condy, 53, a former businessman who bought property 10 years ago in Kelowna when he moved here. The increase in its value since has enabled him to “retire early on my terms.” He believes there has to be more accountability at City Hall, and a better “bean counter” to keep track of city spending and whether the city is getting value for money. But most of all, the city needs new energy and new ideas. His platform lists protecting the lake, bringing

back a sense of fun, a revival of the Kelowna Regatta, protection of small business, reducing traffic congestion, more city meetings, accountability, leading by example, respect for people and managing growth and development better as the top 10 priorities. “Kelowna has lost something over the last few years. We used to be one of the most enjoyable cities to live (in) and to visit in Canada, but it just doesn’t seem to be that way anymore. Somehow we’ve lost our way,” he says. For Chung, who runs a sales, marketing and communications company in the city, the desire to seek the mayor’s chair comes from a feeling that the current council is “unbalanced.” He says Shepherd

is not the person to lead the city for the next three years and neither is Gray, although he originally supported the former mayor’s candidacy. Chung originally filed nomination papers to run for a councillor position but changed his mind and opted for mayor instead after being encouraged to do so by friends, feeling a new mayor would best help the city move forward. “I want to take an active role in what council will become,” he says, adding he does not have a platform. Instead, he wants to hear from the public what it thinks are the issues that are most important and tackle them one at a time. He does, however, feel fiscal responsibility is important at City Hall and that council also needs to show more social, environmental and economic responsibility. “We need to be getting the best bang for our buck,” says Chung, adding the city needs to be run more like a business and needs to be considerate of all people in the community. Ouellette, who is making her third run for mayor—she lost to Shepherd

in 2005 and 2008—continues to call for a ward system for the city to elect its councillors. She wants eight wards, believing such a system would allow for better representation than the existing eight councillorat-large positions. Ward councillors, she says, could advocate better for their respective constituents at the council table. She is concerned about the city’s debt, feels UBCO should be integrated into the city better and Kelowna should be marketed to technology firms in order to persuade them to set up shop here and thus create jobs. “I’m running because Kelowna needs a new approach to how city council is run,” said the 47-yearold Ouellette, who works for a graphics and sign company in Kelowna. As part of her platform, she has an economic development strategy for the city that includes: • Attracting a diverse economic base • Maximizing educational opportunities • Working with technology companies to understand their needs for expansion • Encouraging high-quality development.

“Vision is not the next three-year mandate,” he says. “It goes far beyond that.” He points to his record from 1996 to 2005 as an indication of the type of mayor he would be. If Premier Christy Clark is going to be the top saleswoman for the province, Walter Gray wants to be the top salesman for Kelowna. And while he concedes the mayor is just one of nine voices on council, Gray says the power the mayor wields is the “power of influence,” something he plans to exert for the good of the city if elected. “I see the position as being the chairman of the board of the corporation of the City of Kelowna,” says Gray. “I’m there to bring a team of people together, a team that has a balanced view and a balanced gender. I don’t feel council is balanced right now.” As proof of his assertion that council can’t make decisions, he points to the drawn out debate by council over the rezoning of part of downtown to allow acres of development along the lakeshore. Known as CD21, it centred on a proposal, primarily from one developer, to redevelop the area

at the foot of Bernard Avenue. “(The original plan) was changed so much that council lost the confidence of the people who were going to pay for it,” says Gray, saying he believed it had widespread support in the business community.

‘‘

BEING MAYOR IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE… YOU DON’T GET ELECTED TO SERVE YOUR FRIENDS. Walter Gray

But opponents have a different view. They point to what they believe was equally widespread opposition by throughout the community. After lengthy delays—some caused by outside agencies that had to be consulted—the plan was shot down by council at final reading of the bylaw that would have allowed it. But CD21 is not the only criticism Gray has of council and he feels he is representing a constituency that feels the same way. Like anyone challenging an incumbent, Gray’s mantra is a call for change. But having “been there and done that,” he says a vote for him is not a vote to recycle yesterday’s man. While his councils did not address social issues in the same way that Shepherd’s have, he recognizes the need for the city to be more involved as a partner in programs that address issues such as homelessness, job creation and social welfare. But for Gray, it all comes back to business. Attracting business to the city will help create jobs that in turn will pay the wages people need to increase their standard of living, pay the taxes the city needs to provide services and put the city back on track. “Being mayor is not rocket science,” says Gray. “You leave your bias at the door, you keep an open mind going in, you don’t get elected to serve your friends and you recognize that it is a 24/7 job.” awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Facing city issues: ‘I worry a lot. I have a lot of sleepless nights’ Shepherd from A3 In 2005, Shepherd was outspent two to one by Gray but still beat him by 2,200 votes. As a councillor, her popularity steadily rose during her

three terms, resulting in her being the top vote-getter on council in 2002. So if the development community doesn’t like her, it appears voters do. But unlike six years ago, this time around

most expect a different campaign from Gray, who admits he may have underestimated Shepherd and taken the race for granted last time. This time both say the race is about leadership.

And it’s there that the two have very different styles. While Gray has said as mayor he would force decisions to be made by council on the belief that indecision is unacceptable, Shepherd says she is more conciliatory, preferring to find consensus before decisions are made and gathering as much information as possible. If that means taking more time to get it right, it’s a criticism she will take. But it has led her critics to complain there is too much talk and not enough action at City Hall these days. Shepherd defends her approach, saying while it’s not true to say decisions do not get made —“I make decisions every day as mayor”—she says it’s critical all the in-

And in some cases, such as the controversial CD21 zone issue concerning the redevelopment by private developers of a large section of downtown, delays were caused by outside agencies that had to be consulted.

development at this time when the economy is lagging due, in part, to impacts beyond the city’s borders, Shepherd is proud of the work Kelowna has done to help address social issues such as affordable housing. Last year, the city received $30 million for three transitional housing developments, received the largest amount of stimulus spending dollars of any comparable-sized city in B.C. for infrastructure projects and had projects ready to go when money became available. That, says Shepherd, was thanks to the planning and foresight initiated by her council and city staff. For Shepherd, her stated desire to make sure residents of her city are looked after, is paramount. Despite her busy schedule as mayor, she still goes to as many community meetings as she can and says she values the input she receives. She cares about her city and wants what’s best for it. “I worry a lot. I have a lot of sleepless nights,” she says. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Glenrosa proposal nears approval Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Despite two public hearings, which each produced a considerable number of concerns from residents, District of West Kelowna council gave third reading to zoning amendments in the Glenrosa area. The amendments would change three current rural zoned lots (RU2) to single detached housing (R1) on three parcels west of McIver road. The southeast parcel would be rezoned to compact housing (RC1). Coun. Rosalind Neis was quick to remind council that the switch to compact housing is what had the public upset on Sept. 13 and 20. “I went up to this prop-

erty, looked at it, walked it and knocked on all the doors of people that live in this neighbourhood,” said Neis. “The people that live in this neighbourhood would not object to development that (is) congruent with what is in place today, which is single family housing throughout the entire project. “As council will recall, the people that live in that area would prefer not to have compact housing in their neighbourhood. I believe that this is not the right location for compact housing.” Coun. Duane Ophus clarified that the RC1 zoning is still single family housing. “The entire application is single family housing. The only difference

between (single detached housing) and (compact housing) is the size of the lot. When it comes to the idea of smart growth, it’s simply a more effective use of land to continue growth within a smaller lot size,” said Ophus. “In terms of affordability, that’s what people are looking for. “From some of the comments that were made in the public hearing, council needs to do a better job of educating the public what it is that’s being proposed here.” Another concern that the public brought forward at the hearing was the issue of traffic safety. A number of community members suggested that the development may affect the surrounding road network.

A key area of concern was the intersection at McIver Road and Glenrosa Road. Coun. Bryden Winsby suggested that the dangerous intersection was an issue that shouldn’t be ignored. “I think that they’re two separate issues. We’re dealing with a particular development, but we’re also dealing with an ongoing open sore and that is Glenrosa and McIver.” Winsby made a separate motion that district staff return to council with information regarding costs for necessary improvements to the intersection. The motion passed unanimously. As for the zoning amendments, Neis was the only councillor opposed as the third reading passed 6-1.

Two-vehicle collision halts Westside traffic Traffic was backed up Thursday morning on Highway 97 in West Kelowna due to a two-vehicle collision near Nancee Way just before 7 a.m. Police says that the driver of a northbound Mitsubishi car on Highway 97 failed to stop at a red light

and struck a southbound pickup truck that was turning left onto Nancee Way. The car struck the passenger side of the truck which caused the truck to flip onto its roof and come to rest against the traffic light post. The driver of the truck was

taken to Kelowna General Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, suffering from neck and back pain. The driver of the car, who was uninjured, has been issued a violation ticket for proceeding on a red light, which carries a fine of $167.

Major Announcement from Marshall’s Home Furnishings

To our Past, Present and Future Customers,

It gives me great pleasure to announce Marshall’s Home Furnishings has just signed a new lease at our current location in Banks Centre. It is hard to believe almost 5 years have passed since we opened our Broyhill Gallery! We are grateful for all the support we have had from our community. Today we not only carry Broyhill, which is synonymous with quality, but we also are exclusive dealers for manufacturers like Thomasville, Drexel Heritage, Lane, Lexington, Elite Leather, Stylus, Simmons and so many more well-known furniture brands. Along with the signing of our new lease has come a new vision of what we want our store to become in the future. We take pride in being able to serve the Interior with better quality home furnishings, while not losing sight of what is affordable for all people to purchase and enjoy. It is with anticipation that I announce we are going to have the BIGGEST sale in our company’s history. We will be undergoing a massive renovation to the store but before we undertake this project we must liquidate our complete lineup of home furnishings and home décor. Therefore, I have authorized the deepest discounts ever offered on our complete inventory.

Absolutely everything in the store and warehouse must be sold to allow us to move about safely during our renovations! So, if you haven’t been to visit us for a while, now is the time to come in, say hello, and take advantage of some great savings storewide. This sale is for a very limited time and as soon as everything is sold, our store will close for about three weeks so that we may facilitate the necessary renovations. All the staff at Marshall’s and myself welcome you to join us for this limited time event. Thank you for your support; we look forward to seeing you soon. Sincerely,

Marshall’s Home Furnishings - Kelowna P.S. Sorry about the mess! It won’t be pretty for a few weeks, but the savings will be worth it!

letter of the week

Time for B.C.’s own police force To the editor: The time has come for British Columbia to accept the fact we can’t afford the RCMP anymore because the federal government has again decreased their yearly grants and the provinces have to pick up the tab. The Mountie’s unique quality of uniforms and upkeep costs considerably more to maintain than a provincial police. Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador realized that situation many years ago and formed their own provincial forces to better meet the costs and needs of their province. I wonder if Ottawa is trying to tell us to do the same? The cost of the colourful world famous Mountie’s uniform is only one reason for changing to a local provincial force. This 4,000 mile wide

LETTERS

A Gift in Memory Kidney Foundation thanks generous community Makes a Difference

Open letter to residents of Kelowna and surrounds: Thank you. We couldn’t have done it without you. When we organized the recycling event at Action Metals on Sept. 24, we had no idea that so many of you had so much metal to contribute to The Kidney Foundation’s Recycle for Life campaign. But from beginning to end that day the line of precious metals kept com-

ing in—bicycles, barbecues, metal fencing, old lawn mowers, even the kitchen sink. And on Monday an old forklift came in too. You all must now have the tidiest garages and basements in the province. Your generosity brought in over 14,000 tons of ferrous metal and 1,020 pounds of non-ferrous metal, a pile of scrap metal that netted us over $1,700. In addition, there

are now 23 more organ donors—people who registered at the event to help save the lives of kidney patients and people needing a new heart, lung, pancreas and liver, plus more. On behalf of the almost 4,000 kidney dialysis patients in B.C. who are waiting and hoping for a new kidney, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Money raised will go to helping The Kidney Foundation continue spreading

the word about the importance of organ donation and the need for more organ donors. Thank you too, to the staff at Action Metals who organized the educational tours, car crushing demonstration, food and fun for the kids. And to all the volunteers who came out to help. You can still contribute to the Recycle for Life campaign by dropping off your scrap metals to Action Metals every Mon-

day to Friday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at 3258 Hwy 97 North, just behind the Hyundai Dealership. And if you have a car to donate, call 1-800-5854479 and arrangements will be made to pick it up free of charge. Wishing you all good health and happy metal collecting.

Insufferable inequities imposed on challenged workers by government policy Open Letter to Premier Christy Clark and all B.C. MLAs: Imagine that you’re a disabled person. You receive $906.42 a month to pay for your food, shelter, rclothing, recreation, etc. t Since $906.42 is obviously not enough to live on, anywhere, provincial regulations allow you to earn an additional $500 a kmonth at a part-time job. Then a workplace injury prevents you from earning the additional $500 a month. Any other worker would receive payments from Work Safe BC to roffset their loss of income, but you don’t. Instead rthe provincial government deducts any compensation payments from your f$906.42 disability allowance. That’s the punitive legislation currently applied to all developmental rdisabled persons in B.C., It is time they were treated the same as all other workers who are injured

on the job. This month, which is Community Living Month, would be a good time for all of us to become more aware of the legislative challenges disabled persons have to deal with every day. Their first responsibility after a workplace accident, should not have to be deciding what to give up—their telephone, Internet, cable TV, recreation or even their present accommodation. Compensation payments are not the only discrimation that disabled people encounter. Disabled people pay Employment Insurance premiums, like everyone else who works. But if they become unemployed, regardless of the reason, any EI benefits paid to them are deducted from their disability income, dollar for dollar. In this way, they are denied any benefits from the EI premiums they have paid. They’re also penalized

for receiving an income tax refund. The refund represents an overpayment of taxes over a 12-month period, but the refund comes as a single lump sum which is considered extra earnings during the month in which it is received. If the 12-month refund pushes the single month’s earnings over the allowable $500, any extra will be ducted from their disability cheque. No other sector of society is treated this way. Seniors receive pension payments regardless of their level of other income. Seniors would not tolerate having their Canada Pension or Old Age Security payments reduced to offset an income tax refund. But that’s what happens to the low-income disabled in B.C. The rigidity with which the rules are applied to people with disabilities further penalizes them. Their earnings can-

▼ PROVINCIAL POLICE

Ottawa can keep Musical Ride BCPP from A10 country needs special and different services to cover our diversity. Since the federal government assists financially they also have a say in administration and law enforcements which is really best taken care by a local force. Each province in Canada is uniquely different and we in British Columbia have a rich, colourful mosaic population including a water border which would be best serviced by a local force who know the pulse and situations in each municipality, town, village, city and island. Having our own force

would avoid the constant assistance, approval and orders from Ottawa. The city of Vernon and some political parties in Alberta have been voicing the need for provincial forces for many years as well. Our proud world famous RCMP and their Musical Ride is a Canadian tradition and a custom that deserves to live on to eternity in our capital to represent Canada for all special occasions here and abroad. The three eastern provinces have enjoyed their local police forces for many years and it is time we had the same freedom and privilege.

The 20-year contract with Ottawa ends at the end of November and we must act soon. It is unfortunate that Alberta and Saskatchewan have partly settled with Ottawa with a condition to include them for any benefits B.C. receives. Let’s hope our B.C. Attorney-General, Shirley Bond decides it is time for B.C. to go it alone and have our own provincial force like Ontario, Quebec and New Foundland/Labrador so Saskatchewan, Alberta and other provinces may join us as well.

not be averaged annually. If a disabled person can work only three months— perhaps during a summer tourist season—and earns $2,000 per month during those months, they are only allowed to keep $1,500; the government takes the other $4,500. Applying exemptions over a year, instead of month by month, would enable disabled people to retain more of their earnings. Rigid monthly calculations further penalize disabled persons. If wages are paid every second Friday, for example, a particular month may have five Fridays. The paycheque on the 2nd covers the two weeks work in the previous month; the pay cheques on the 16th and the 30th cover work done in the current month. But the provincial regulations require that income be reported when it is received, not when it is earned. So in a three-Friday month, a disabled person will be required to declare three $250 paycheques, and the $250 excess over the $500 will be deducted from the following month’s cheque which will accordingly

be deducted, leaving the disabled person with only $656.42, with no way of making up for the loss. Why can’t we re-asses current legislation, to eliminate regulations that deny disabled persons the same treatment given to other Canadian employees? Why can’t we allow people with disabilities some dignity and respect? The disability was not their choice. In most cases, they were born with it. Because of their disability, many are unable to write letters to argue their cases; they are unable to travel to advocate for more equitable treatment. They are the most vulnerable adults in our society. Any benefits paid to them should be considered a minimal allowance to compensate for their inability to live what others consider a ’normal’ life. If they are fortunate enough to earn additional income through work, they should not be penalized for their efforts. It is time now to end these discriminatory regulations. Patricia Graham, Mother of a developmentally disabled adult, Kelowna

NEWS ▼ MAYORAL FORUM

Rejected downtown CD-21 zone plan may be revived Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna residents may have thought a downtown redevelopment plan that sparked widespread debate was dead and gone, but at least two candidates running for mayor have a “resurrection” in mind. During the Urban Development Institute’s Thursday candidate forum, both past mayor Walter Gray and fellow candidate Ken Chung said

they’ll revisit the CD21 zone if they are elected. “New faces can look at it and say, ‘Does this thing deserve to be buried, or should it be resurrected?’” said Gray, pointing out that he believes millions of dollars and several years of planning were “poured down the drain” by the current council’s dithering. Chung said he thought the plan had merit. If elected, he’ll encourage “everyone to put it back

on the table and find a way to make a version of it happen.” Mayor candidate Cal Condy didn’t say what he’d do with the plan for four blocks of downtown moving forward, but noted he would have worked harder to make sure the issue was dealt with more swiftly the first time around. In response to criticisms of the current administration’s handing of the CD21 zone, May-

he said. Politicians and developers seem to have developed a “them and us” relationship and that’s far from ideal, he said. Building permits, he said, accounted for 5,700 construction jobs and 4,900 jobs in the development industry, for 2011 alone. “You are what drives the economy of the community,” he said, pointing out that they should be very engaged in the political process. “You have a responsibility to make decisions when it comes to the make-up of city council.” Much of the debate focused on Gray and Shepherd, who have been widely acknowledged as the frontrunners in the race, but each candidate was given the option to

state their case. Kim Ouellette, was only available for the opening remarks due to illness, and in that time said she’d be focused on affordable housing, expanding the business sector and moving forward more multi-use development permits. Condy said that all routes to a healthy community lead back to a strong transit system. Without that, he said, developers will be out of luck when it comes to selling their products. Chung said he’d like to work on revitalization plans for all business sectors of various areas of Kelowna, not just the downtown, and explore opportunities for further public private partnerships. kmichaels @kelownacapnews.com

Another, according to one of the questions lobbed her way, was a campaign promise six years ago to not take dollars from developers. “My husband is probably the biggest supporter of my campaign financially,” she said, explaining that she won’t take funds from any group that she’ll one-day have to make a decision about, for the sake of fairness. Conversely, Walter Gray was asked to battle back the impression that he was in the pockets of developers. “Absolute garbage,”

or Sharon Shepherd said the city has moved beyond that episode and are focusing on Bernard Avenue’s revitalization and a more all-encompassing downtown plan. “We’re moving forward,” she said, admitting that the timing of the CD21 process was lessthan ideal, although the results were reflective of public will. An election happened after the rezoning plan had gone to a public hearing, which means councillors were forbidden for speaking about the matter. Some candidates in that election, however, were elected “based on their stance on CD21.” That said, Shepherd was one of those who voted against the highly controversial project once it was returned to the pol-

District council adopted a storm water management drainage plan in council chambers on Tuesday evening. The two volume plan, prepared by RSB Engineering, was commissioned by the district to assess the condition of the existing drainage network in terms of local hydrology, hydraulic, environmental and hydrogeological issues within the district’s boundaries. The report compiles an inventory of the existing drainage infrastructure, estimates peak runoff rates, identifies areas that present risks for public safety, provides watercourse evaluation data and provides recommendations for addressing existing deficiencies. The plan recommends improvement projects by categorizing them as either high, medium or low priority. Improvement projects of high priority are estimated to cost over $2.4 million. Medium priority projects will cost approximately $2.1 million; low priority improvements are estimated to cost $493,000. The district staff has been developing a 10-year plan to deal with the high priority recommendations, with plans to begin tackling some of those projects as early as next year.

STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna is the top ranked entrepreneurial city in B.C., says a recent report by a national lobby group, but that doesn’t mean the government body that sets the conditions for small business are getting any kudos. In fact, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business’s “Com-

tional average of 8.4/100. The Central Okanagan’s Economic Development Commission’s Robert Fine, suggested that could be the reason why it dropped from last year’s fifth place national ranking to 13th. “The city has done a number of things to improve the business climate, and will continue to do so, but the issue is how well is that communicat-

ed?” said Fine, adding a March meeting with local government and the business community helped meet that need. Meantime, he said, it’s not the worst news to be ranked best in B.C. “It’s still a good news story,” he said. “We have lots of entrepreneurs and businesses here and we have to do all we can to make this a good climate for small businesses.

“It’s the basis of the economy.” The report rated communities by three measures: Entrepreneurial presence, entrepreneurial perspective and entrepreneurial policy. The CFIB assembled 12 indicators, such as the number of business startups and businesses per capita, hiring expectations, cost of government, regulation and taxes, from

several sources, including Statistics Canada and sur-

veys of CFIB’s 108,000 members across Canada.

And, those are just a few of the activities I know about that local people and groups have been involved with in the past few weeks. These are not people with nothing else to do.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re people with lots of other responsibilities, involved in other activities, and with jobs, families and interests of their own, in addition to their community involvement. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand up and talk about their accomplishments; who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell everyone about all the good things they do for their community. But, when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a call for volunteers they juggle their other activ-

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the fuel that moves a community; the muscles that hold it up and make it smile; the firm foundation on which it can grow. Volunteers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it for the thanks from kokanee or wildlife, kids or elders; they do it because they feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important and someone has to do it. Plus, I hear thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a personal satisfaction in helping out. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to experience some of that satisfaction, contact your nearest fish and game club or the B.C.

Jackson and Lockerby witnessed the van in front of them strike a concrete barrier and swerve out of control, roll down an embankment and plunge into Griffin Lake. The two friends stopped their car, ran to the lake and jumped into the frigid waters. They swam out to the vehicle and climbed onto its roof.

NEWS ▼ ALL CANDIDATES FORUM

Speed dating style of campaigning to Mission residents S o many candidates, so many promises, so little space, so little time to seriously analyze what each has to say. That is the challenge facing both the local media and voters who attended the all candidates forum hosted Thursday night by the Okanagan Mission Residents Association at the First Lutheran Church. Thirty-five city council and five mayoral candidates all were given two minutes each to make their best pitches to the crowd. And if that wasn’t enough civic politics for one evening, school trustee candidates were handing out their own political campaign material in the church foyer after the meeting. Assessing candidates in two minutes is pretty difficult to do, but each candidate gave it their best shot, most ending with the familiar tagline of encouraging everyone to check out their campaign websites.

EDITOR’S NOTE

Barry Gerding For the most part, all the city council candidates struck similar policy themes, which leaves one to wonder why we need so many candidates who share the same beliefs. But that’s a debate for another day, as democracy is about participation and Kelowna voters are seeing that in record numbers this time around. More policing, better transit, better transportation infrastructure, reviving the downtown, creating more high paying jobs, keeping young people from having to leave the city to find work, more accountable spending of our tax dollars were touched on by most candidates. Some tried to voice policies or opinions to try and differentiate them-

Peter McFadden called himself “the numbers guy” based on his 30-year career as a chartered accountant, saying city council has to spend taxpayers’ money more wisely and equitably. “We can’t increase the tax base, we need to live off what we have.” Mark Thompson offered himself as an ideal candidate since he is running for both school

ROAD SHOW UNCOVERS HUGE TREASURE IN KELOWNA

TWO EVENTS THIS WEEKEND IN KELOWNA & WESTBANK Canada’s largest appraiser and buyer of silver coins and gold estate jewelry has uncovered a massive collection of gold and silver during their current stop in Kelowna. The Canadian Treasures Road Show four day stop in Kelowna this week was nothing out of the ordinary with local folks coming into the show selling their silver and gold coins and unwanted or unused gold jewelry. People usually have a few hundred dollars coming to them from the sale of their items reports Road Show manager Amy Luccianio however we were in shock when a gentleman walked into the show with a dolly loaded with three card board boxes full of silver and gold coins. When we began to sort through the coins it became very obvious that this would take several hours as there was thousands and thousands of coins both Canadian and US. The huge collection was accumulated over fifty years by the now current owners grandfather. Kevin Scott who himself just recently retired shared his amassing story of how his grandfather found most of the coins while working at the municipal dump in Brandon Manitoba. Papa was the only employee at the dump for thirty three years and during that time he set up a small car washing and cleaning side business at the dump and it was free of charge in exchange for any pop bottles or beer bottles the customers would donate.

By Amy Luccianio - RoadShow Staff Writer Papa also offered a free interior vacuum service with the car wash and he would always find a few coins in the ashtray or on the floor and 99 % of the time his customers would tell him to keep the coins. For thirty some years Papa would come home each day and put the few coins in a glass jar and over the years the collection turned into hundreds of jars of silver coins. I can clearly remember my grand father saying some day we will be rich, rich, rich when I sell my coins and then he would break into a big belly laugh that would rattle the dishes in grammas china cabinet. Papa never did cash in his coins however he spent many a night picking out what he thought would some day become rare or collector coins and would tell me some day this coin or that coin would be worth a fortune. My grand father passed on many years ago and left his collection to my sister and I. Now with us retiring we decided we would see what the collection would be worth so we brought them to the Canadian Treasures Road Show in Kelowna. After several hours of going over the coins the road show staff had in fact discovered twenty one US silver dollars that had the rare mint mark from the San Francisco Mint mint and these coins alone are worth eight hundred dollars apiece. They also uncovered one half ounce gold coin and seven ¼ ounce gold coins.

The gold coins we decided to keep and give to our grand children however as none of our children or grandchildren have an interest in coin collecting we decided to sell the baulk of Papas collection as they were worth many times their face value as the price of silver is at world record highs The total weight of the coins was 102 lbs and the Road Show staff offered us a fantastic price of...well lets just say Papa was right when he said some day we would be rich. It was sad to hand over Papas coins but we are sure he would get a huge belly laugh if he knew his silver coins earned us enough to pay for a big part of his great grand children’s schooling.

NEWS Gerding from A16 Health standards. Charlie Hodge, one of the incumbents who is also a Capital News columnist, pointed out his attendance record for council and committee meetings, and his willingness to put time aside every Thursday to meet with people to hear their concerns at a downtown restaurant. He reiterated his decision to vote against the CD21 zone. “I campaigned on a promise to not support the (CD21) and I am proud of that. Highrises on the downtown waterfront are not the way to go.”

Carol Gran, a former MLA and city councillor, advocated for the city, chamber of commerce and UBCO to plan a strategy to deal with the Okanagan’s economy. She also wants our local MP and MLAs to meet with city council to devise a strategy for dealing with the homeless problem in Kelowna. “Cooperation between all government levels is how you solve these issues,” she said. Erik Jack positioned himself as a voice for the disenfranchised youth of Kelowna, saying young people are not apathetic, but actually very engaged

in local issues of concern. “I want to be the representative for all the youth of Kelowna who don’t have a voice,” he said. Tisha Kalmanovitch said Kelowna is in need of some outside-thebox thinking. “What we need in Kelowna is the wow factor, to be a little city with big ideas on issues like urban revitalization, global warming, sustainability and transportation.” Tash Batt, born in Kelowna and who recently moved back here from Toronto, tried to put herself in the shoes of the voters. “A vote for me is a vote for you,” said Batt,

raising the idea of creating a citizens advisory council to vote on issues facing council. Incumbent Robert Hobson gave probably the most lively of all the speeches, starting with his opening line, offered with a touch of sarcasm: “So many candidates, so many promises.” He also contributed another zinger among his platform of the 10 things he won’t do if elected to city council: “I won’t deny that I brought two boxes of apples tonight and they are there for your pleasure. Why? Because it is cheaper to give them away than to send them to

the packinghouse.” Of the mayoral candidates, both Gray and Shepherd were given rousing ovations following each of their two minute vote-for-me pitch. Gray attacked Shepherd’s leadership of council and stressed the need for council to take on a pro-business approach. Shepherd defended her record, saying she campaigned for change when she was elected mayor six years ago and that is what she has tried to deliver on behind a philosophy of sustainable balance. As for the other mayoral candidates, Cal Con-

dy spent his time talking about the homeless, questioning a variety of city expenditures while people are sleeping homeless on our streets. “If elected mayor I promise to start asking some tough questions…” he said. Ken Chung said the city needs a new vision, some fresh ideas. “We still face the same problems we were facing 15 years ago so there is a need for a fresh perspective and new ideas at city hall,” Chung said. So there will be more all candidates meetings to follow, as each of the city council candidates will be seeking to attract voters with a two minute speech and some glad-handing afterwards. Websites, signs and knocking on doors, a combination of old and new style political campaigning, are the other tools each candidate has in their arsenal. Mary Ann Graham, a council candidate, cited the importance of getting out the vote. She is correct because the turnout for the previous record number of candidates in the last civic election was a poor 19.6 per cent. How this field of new candidates will change that this time around

remains to be seen. Perhaps their biggest challenge may be that voters are not apathetic, but essentially happy. Yes, there are issues that tick people off, as bitching about what city hall does or doesn’t do is a favourite pastime for taxpayers in most communities. But I think the overriding reality of that is Kelowna is still a pretty good place to live. The downtown business crowd may be riled up and motivated, but is that a reflection of people living in Rutland or Glenmore or Black Mountain? I remember something a West Kelowna resident said to me during the lead-up to whether or not the Westside should amalgamate with Kelowna: “I don’t care what they do. Just make a decision and get on with it.” How many people will share that attitude come voting day on Nov. 19 here in Kelowna will be interesting to see. The candidates have three weeks left to grab people’s attention away from their already busy lives. The clock is ticking.

Late grapes still being picked Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Although this year’s Coronation table grapes were of “outstanding quality,” grape growers are still picking wine grapes, because it was such a cool growing season this year. Kelowna grape grower Doug Sperling says this year’s distinctive blue Coronations are really nice fruit, but he says there’s a lot of competition for table grapes from outside the valley. The last of the Coronations are now being marketed. The wine grape crop is still being harvested, with many of the white varieties already picked, but growers are waiting for an increase in the sugars in

na vineyard, he says there must have been more damage from last year’s sudden November freeze than he’d realized, because his wine grape crop was way down compared to last year.

He feels other growers may also be finding fewer grapes out there than they’d expected, but until the crop is all in, numbers are only estimates. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

The wise old owl has some tips to ensure your Halloween is fun and safe! • Costumes should be light-colored and flame resistant with reflective strips so that children are more easily seen at night. (And remember to put reflective tape on bikes, skateboards, and brooms, too!) • Costumes should be short enough to avoid tripping. • Remind children to keep away from open fires and candles. (Costumes can be extremely flammable.)

• Use face paint rather than masks or things that will cover the eyes. • Remind children to walk, slither, and sneak on sidewalks - not in the street. • Explain to children that calls should be made along one side of the street ﬁrst and then the other, and that it’s best to cross the street only at intersections or crosswalks. • Have children plan their route and share it with you and the family.

• Remind children to look both ways before crossing the street to check for cars, trucks, and low-flying brooms. • Provide yourself or the children with a flashlight to see better and to be better seen. • Trick or Treaters should travel in groups of four or five. Young children should be accompanied by an adult. • Never go into a stranger’s house and avoid going to houses where there are no lights on.

SFU happy to have ‘diamond in the rough’–Mlikotic Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna golfer John Mlikotic is used to playing in pressure situations. As a high school golfer the lanky right-hander led Immaculata to two straight single-A provincial golf championships. Now as the only freshman golfer on the men’s golf team at Simon Fraser University, the 18-yearold has not only clawed his way onto the team but has shown to be one of the steadier members of SFU’s men’s golf team this fall. “We’re very happy that we had John brought to us,” said SFU golf coach John Buchanan. “He’s really been a find for us. He wasn’t even on anybody’s radar. On a five man team he’s been playing second or third so far.” Despite his talent, Buchanan says Mlikotic wasn’t recruited by any colleges out of high school. Calling him a diamond in the rough, Buchanan recruited him after watching Mlikotic play at the B.C. Amateur cham-

pionship last year. “He was everything,” said Buchanan. “He has good technique, he’s a solid player, a super nice kid and academically he was eligible. Almost at the 11th hour I phoned him up and asked him to come to SFU.” And that phone call has led to good things for both golfer and coach. Last weekend Mlikotic tied for 25th as an individual after rounds of 77 and 74 at the Cordova Bay golf club near Victoria. That was the third tournament of the season for SFU with one more event before the close of the fall golf season in the NCAA Division II golf league. Mlikotic says getting his feet wet in university golf this fall has been like a dream come true. “This is something that I have wanted to do for quite some time, to play golf at the college level,” said Mlikotic. “It’s like fulfilling a dream. The opportunity was there to go. It was tough to leave home but it was a chance for me to pursue what I want to do with my golf

career.” Entering college, Mlikotic is a scratch golfer with a handicap just decimal points above zero. It’s been quite the rise for the Immaculata graduate who took up the game just five years ago after a series of concussions forced him to quit playing hockey at the bantam level. “I think for the amount of time that I have been in the sport I have come a long ways,” he said. “I found hockey was more of an instinctive sport where with golf you have to think yourself through things. You have to stay focussed mentally. You control the outcome and you don’t have to rely on someone else and I like that.” So far Mlikotic has been able to play his way into the top of the SFU team. It helps that he is loaded with talent, according to his coach. “He still has to learn to play defensive golf but he has a bundle of talent” said Buchanan. “He’s a real good ball striker, he’s very interested in what he is doing, he’s a good lis-

He’s got an A-plus attitude and he’s got a very, very good game.” Mlikotic will be taking that game to San Diego next weekend for

the final golf event of the NCAA Div. II fall season. SFU carries eight men’s golfers and holds qualifying rounds to see which five will enter each tournament. Coach Buchanan says Mlikotic’s play has assured him of a spot

on the team that will go to San Diego to close out the season. And that will be music to Mlikotic’s ears as the youngster has never been to California. It’s all part of a quick rise to university golf and the life of a

student-athlete. “It’s been great,” he said. “It’s a different experience. The competition is a lot stronger. I’m just trying to get better every time I play and make the most of the experience.” kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

▼ HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS

Blackburne’s final trip to run in provincial championships Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

Michelle Blackburne is hoping to finish her high school cross country running career with a personal best result. The Grade 12 student at Mount Boucherie qualified this week for the cross country provincial high school championships with an eighth overall placing at the valley championships. It will be the fifth straight year Blackburne, 17, races in the provincials, having made it each year since Grade 8. But it will be the first time

the provincials will be run outside of the Lower Mainland as the Telemark cross country ski trails will play host to the event next weekend. “I know the course so it’s going to be nice,” said Blackburne this week. “I want to do well. I want to do better than last year. I’m hoping for a top 20 finish.” Blackburne has had an excellent high school athletic career. In the fall she focuses on running and in the spring she will hit the pitch with the senior girls high school soccer team. MBSS athletic director Adrian Zuyderduyn says she’s been a great example for other stu-

dents in the school. “She’s a great athlete and a straight A student. She’s a wonderful kid.” Like a lot of kids in Grade 12, Blackburne is trying to figure out what to do after graduation. She would love to get a scholarship in one of her chosen sports or may even decide to take six months or a year off schooling to figure things out. Whatever decision she makes, running will continue to play a role in her life. “I just love to run,” she said. “I’m very competitive so it’s a mixture of doing something you love and being able to compete with it.”

Blackburne’s love of running began early in elementary school. She recalls starting in Grade 4 and racing against other elementary schools. In middle school there were weekly races and in high school she began the first of five straight trips to provincials in Grade 8. With the event on her home soil, next weekend’s provincial cross country championships at Telemark is a perfect way to close out her high school cross country career. “I’m excited and looking forward to it,” she said. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Krause chalks up 5-pointer Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

WESTSIDE WARRIORS/CONTRIBUTED

WESTSIDE WARRIORS veteran Tyler Krause was named the BCHL Player of the Week this week after a couple of big games last weekend.

It’s been a long time since Kelowna Minor Hockey product Tyler Krause first suited up as a member of the Westside Warriors. Now 20, Krause is in his final year of junior eligibility and his fourth year with the Warriors. He’s played for all three coaches the Warriors have had. He’s suffered some bumps and bruises along the way and has now elevated his play to where he is on the Warriors top line. And this week Krause pulled off a first for himself as he was named the BCHL Player of the Week after a five-point night last Saturday in a 6-2 win over Prince George.

“It feels great,” said Krause. “The team had some success this weekend and so did I so it’s nice to be rewarded.” Krause and the Warriors are off this weekend to play two games on Vancouver Island as they will play Powell River and Cowichan Valley. As a 20-year-old Krause is hoping to secure an NCAA scholarship this year to continue his hockey career south of the border. With 19 points in 12 games he’s off to a good start but says consistency will be the key to securing a scholarship. “You have to be con-

sistent, hard working and one of the best players on the ice every night,” said the 6-foot, 180 pound forward. Playing on a line with Richard Vanderhoek and Connor Dempsey, Krause is finding himself being counted on to be a leader on and off the ice. As a veteran player he says his confidence is high when he hits the ice. “You notice as an older player you have more confidence, just having been there and knowing what to expect in certain situations,” said Krause whose 19 points so far this year equals his total as a

rookie. “Just how you see the game as a 20-year-old is so much different.” The last two seasons the Warriors have lost in the second round of the playoffs. Krause is hoping that will change this year as the Kelowna native looks for team success first and individual success second. “We have a really deep team that has the ability to outwork teams every night,” he said. “We have every aspect, it’s just a matter of keeping it together for 60 games and playoffs.”

The Kelowna Rockets will have no problem finding a stall in their dressing room for Brett Bulmer should he return at any point this season. However, the Western Hockey League club isn’t holding its breath that the 6-foot-3, 190-pound forward will ever play another game of major junior hockey. The Wild have informed the Rockets they plan on keeping Bulmer well beyond the nine-game mark—the limit teams are allowed before the first year of a player’s entry-level contract kicks in—before deciding on whether to return him to junior or keep him. Bulmer was slated to play in his ninth NHL game on Thursday night when the Minnesota Wild host the Anaheim Ducks In eight games to date, he has no goals and three assists, and is logging an average of more than 11 minutes of ice time per game. In his latest outing, Bulmer played nearly 17 minutes against the Ca-

Brett Bulmer nucks and was +1 with one assist. Rockets GM Bruce Hamilton said the 19-yearold Bulmer is making a solid case to remain in Minnesota. “What the Wild told us is that he’s playing real well,” Hamilton said. “I watched him in two games against Edmonton and Vancouver and he played extremely well, I felt. “They’re not on the 10-game plan with him, they’re on the 40-game plan and whether he’s there for 40 or not, who knows,” Hamilton continued, “but as long as he’s playing well and playing a lot, they’re going to keep him. If he slows or stumbles here then they’ll consider sending him back, they have no problem

doing that. But I can’t see him coming back if he keeps going the way he is.” Either way, Hamilton expects the club will know for certain by early December whether they’ll see Bulmer again in Rokket colours. Based on the WHL team’s past history of watching their teenaged stars catch on with NHL teams—Luke Schenn and Tyler Myers to name two—Hamilton isn’t holding out hope for Bulmer’s return. “In our case it would be great to get him, but as I’ve learned over the years here when you start banking on that, you never get them. I think this is our fifth underage guy to go up and play, so you have to be prepared for this kind of thing to happen,” Hamilton said.

All games will be on the Nonis Sports Field at UBC’s Okanagan campus. Tournament website: www.gofheat.ca/soccer The Heat men’s soccer team has qualified for the championship for the first time since 1998 with a (4-25) record and will open up the tournament Friday

Kick off Saturday at Boucherie is 1 p.m. The Bears are 7-0 on the 2011 season—3-0 in exhibition play, and 4-0 in Interior AAA Conference regular season action. The offense has been paced by Keagan Hughes with team leading 825 yards rushing and six touchdowns, Hayden Keller with 33 receptions, 309 yards and three

touchdowns, and Spencer Humes with 13 receptions for 357 yards and five touchdowns. The quarterbacking duties are equally shared by Josiah Joseph and rookie Ben Minaker, who have combined for 965 yards and 14 touchdowns passing. Also making significant contributions are running back Josh Livingston, and rookie linemen Aiden Zimmer, Beau Jackson and R.J. Lee. The defense is anchored by Hughes with a team-leading 45 tackles at linebacker, nose-guard

EA EL;

Cole Bertram, defensive backs Cole and Tyler Geisler and Mackenzie Johnson. “This is one of the closest teams I’ve coached,” said Bears coach Chris Rock. “The guys have really bought into the team concept. Every player has made a significant contribution to our overall success.” The Kelowna Owls are second to the Bears in the Interior Conference with a 3-1 record. Boucherie and KSS will meet in a battle for first place Thursday, Nov. 3 on the CNC turf.

Strong showing from junior rowers Kelowna Rowing Club juniors wrapped up their season with a solid stroke of results at the high school championship rowing regatta last weekend. Deep Cove in North Vancouver was the scene for the regatta which closed out the junior rowing season. The Kelowna club teamed up with the South Cariboo and Kamloops Rowing Clubs to put a strong tri-club crew together, aiming to be first across the finishing line. Being in Vancouver, the weather was dreary, overcast and drizzling, but the cold weather could not

Field hockey bronze game Friday TeamCanada—featuring three Kelowna products—will play for the bronze medal in women’s field hockey Friday at the Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico. The Canadians will take on Chile in the thirdrplace finale at noon Pacific time. Canada’s roster includes three former KSS Owls, Abi Raye, Dani Hennig and Natalie Sourisseau, all of whom have started in all four games to date at the Pan Am Games. After posting a 2-1 record in pool play, Canada came up short against the U.S. in Wednesday’s semifinal in a 4-2 loss. “A tough loss today,” said Canadian head Coach Louis Mendonca. “But we gave it our all, the USA just had a better day. And now we need to change our focus to Chile. The goal hasn’t changed, we still have a chance of finishing on the podium and I’m confident the girls will come out fighting. It’s a very close unit, and they believe in each other.” Raye has 67 caps in international competition, Hennig has 31, while Sourisseau has 18 caps. All played with the Owls under head coach Arnar

Berhnardsson. For the fifth straight

THE MR. LUBE Kelowna Junior Rockets midget tier 3 team celebrates a tournament victory from last weekend in Summerland. Kilburn, the Rockets outscored their opponents 32 to three over the four game tournament. Under the guidance of coaches Brent Gilchrist, Gavin Mulcahy and Greg Egan, the team is undefeated so far this season. The players are: Dylan Cates. Luke Sourisseau, Nick Corman, Andrew Humphries, Trevor Pereverzoff, Clay Stephens, Roy Smith, Ty Skrine, Murray Gaffney, Kobe Oishi, Stephen Hawes, William Monforton, Erik

Noh, Piers Egan, Jordan Harding-Bautista, Liam Samaddar, Dustin Kostiuk, Jack Gilchrist, Cory Santoro, Reid Kilburn. ••• It was an all-Kelowna match-up on Sunday when the Kelowna female midget tier 1 team took on their younger KMHA bantam tier 1 counterparts in their first league play meeting of the season. The tension was evident both on the ice and in the stands and the first half of the game was proof of

that with a back and forth affair resulting in four penalties and a 2-2 tie halfway through the second. In the second half, the midgets came out and scored two goals before the end of the second and two more less than a minute apart in the third to take a 6-2 lead. The bantams answered back with a power play goal late in the third period and despite another power play couldn’t manage any more offense and the game ended 6-3.

Goal scorers for the midget girls were Cassie Strymecki and Ashley Mak each with a pair, while Rachel Lobay and Mikaela Clarkson had singles. The bantam goals were scored by Riley Henderson, Logan Burd and Emma Koga. Midget coach Dennis Koch said it was a hard fought game. “They’re a wellcoached, disciplined, and hard-working team, and will be tough opponents this year,” he said.

Big wins for KCS junior girls McGinn, Troock top curling league Kelowna Christian School’s Grade 10 girls volleyball team has been on a roll of late. Even though they are a smaller school competing against all schools in B.C., KCS has proven to be one of the teams to beat in the province. The Knights have come away as champions in the last two junior tournaments they entered, at Fulton and Thompson Rivers University. Last weekend, Kelowna Christian entered as one of 40 junior girls teams fighting for volleyball supremacy at TRU in Kamloops. On Friday, the team was able to cruise through the round robin to win their pool, going 8-0 on the day. The following day, the top team from each of the eight pools entered the tier 1 playoff pool. Kelowna Christian started the day with a straight set win

tian started nervously and fell behind 7-2. Following a time-out Kelowna Christian rallied and the score at the change-over was 8-6 for Langley. From there, KCS took over with timely hitting and blocking, consistent serving, and great defense, winning the third set 15-10. Kelowna Christian School coach Rob Jonker credits much of their success to the fact that “the girls on this team genuinely care for each other,” wrote Jonker. “They trust each other and one of the results of that has been great team resiliency when down in a match.” The Knights junior girls are: Amanda Hardy, Amanda Jonker, Cheyenne Heidebrecht, Shay Albrecht, Sane du Plessis, Shay Jost, Emma Pagdin, Roza Kalashnikoff, Jackie Sellers and Micaylee Pucilowski.

Kelowna Christian won the first set but Harry Ainlay came out fighting in the second and took a close one. With a combination of aggressive hitting and great defense, KCS was too much and took the match in three sets. This set up a final match against an extremely strong team, Langley Fundamental. In the first set, Langley used a combination of hard hitting and smart tipping to confuse Kelowna’s defense and took the first set. Kelowna Christian was undaunted and didn’t give up.

theme songs, the singing, dancing over-the-top musical indulgence takes a tremendous amount of energy to produce. “There’s only three of us on stage, so there’s a lot of choreography,” says the star and creator of the show. Lemley is joined on stage by performers Natalie Bell and Stacey Harris, and a 10 piece band, and gives her audience a tour through old world Hollywood as she learned it from her grandmother’s knee. “I spent every day growing up with her and she was my best friend in the whole world,” she said. “I would go over every day and we would watch Carol Brunette and Sonny and Cher.” Her grandmother ex-

plained how Carol Burnett’s show was effectively burlesque, a bunch of witty one-liners and all about the tease, and how sonny and Cher resembled vaudeville. She learned to appreciate Ruth Etting’s “Love me or Leave Me” and the 10-cent dances that kept girls earning a dime during wartime. Fanny Brice’s burlesque review, so aptly marked on Broadway by Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl, obviously left an impression. May West built an appreciation for good lines, like: “A hard man is good to find—baud, bum.” Soon Lemley was writing her own glamour shows, including Burlesque to Broadway. “It really runs the gamete from Cole Porter and

Cutting back on the carbs T he World Health Organization has said that North America is in the midst of an obesity epidemic. We are indeed the fattest occupants of this continent in recorded history. Subsequently, we are a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;diet crazedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; society. Unfortunately, there is a lot of wrong information available to be masses. No pun intended. Just this last week I had two patients on a 500 calories a day diet, and maintaining this for over 40 days. When one studies the physiology of weight loss with the intention being sustained weight loss, one understands that this and all diets that profoundly limit caloric intake are flawed. This is what I call â&#x20AC;&#x153;YO-YO dieting.â&#x20AC;? In this type of dieting with extreme and rapid weight loss, the weight invariably always comes back, and with a vengeance. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen it time and time again. In our North American diet our nemesis lays in one culprit: carbohydrates. In physiology, excess carbohydrates are turned into fat. Period. In the diet that is readily available to us today, the profound majority of our calories is not in proteins and fats, but in carbohydrates.

If one were to limit their carbohydrates and choose their carbohydrates intelligently, with sustained weight loss in mind, they would Markus inevitably lose their Thiel excess weight, boost their immune system and greatly reduce their chance for diabetes later in life. And most importantly, the weight would stay off for good. In the world of carbohydrates there are good carbohydrates, bad carbohydrates and ghastly carbohydrates. It is very easy to tell them apart and therefore, make proper decisions. Good carbohydrates are the ones that are â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;packaged by natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. These are our fruits and vegetables, also known as our fibrous carbohydrates. These carbohydrates are gentle on our pancreas and the demand for insulin, avoiding sudden and drastic swings in your insulin levels. These carbohydrates give us a slow burn of energy, rather than a rapid surge in energy followed by the inevitable crash of poor carbohydrates. The exception to this rule is potatoes and tropical fruit. This group is heavily laden with sugar and not your first choice when choosing good carbohydrates. The bad carbohydrates are those that are packaged by the facto-

ASK DR.THIEL

ry. This is largely anything in a box or anything that is refined or processed. One such example would be that of breakfast cereals. Essentially, if it comes in a box or from a factory chances are, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a great carbohydrate source for you. A reliable rule of thumb would be: Try to avoid anything that is white. This would include breads, pastas, white rice, sugar, bananas and potatoes. The ghastly carbohydrates are the forms of sweetened juices, sugary drinks, fast food, junk food and alcohol (sorry about that). This type of carbohydrate creates an immediate and severe dumping of insulin into your bloodstream causing hyperactivity followed by burnout. It is no coincidence that in North America we have the highest ingestion of carbohydrates per capita and also the highest incidence of diabetes per capita. Not only does this cause you to gain weight, but the overload of carbohydrates has been demonstrated to cause immune system impairment and cognitive decline with an inability to concentrate. I hate to say it, but it is just that simple. Reduce your carbohydrates and choose only the healthy ones. You do need carbohydrates to live; it is the fuel for your brain but if you choose poorly it can also be your enemy. Now go take a look in your pantry. askdrthiel@shaw.ca

Paterson steps up as artistic director for KC Music School Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

The crew at Kelowna Community Music School is just tickled by piano teacher Lorna Paterson’s latest move. After spending a year on the (piano) bench teaching students the fundamentals of becoming a great pianist, she has decided to assume the helm of the school as artistic director once more, helping focus the near 30 teachers and 600 students in their approach to teaching and learning music. “We just found we needed someone to take that leadership role,” she said modestly, at the school’s main facility this week. Paterson is also coartistic director of Kelowna Chamber Music, a position she shares with her husband, principal of Casorso Elementary School, Charles Schneider. It enables her to make the community connections necessary to ensure the music school provides those little extras it’s known for—partnerships with composers, master classes with visiting musicians and opportunities to play for other musicians. But long before she arrived in the Okanagan, Paterson was making music come alive for her students at the Victoria Conservatory of Music. She divided her time between teaching her craft and a successful career as

a concert pianist and adjudicator until her husband’s career pushed the move to the Interior. Having taught piano since she was 16 years old, Paterson is a little reticent to say exactly how long she’s been in the biz, but suffices with a simple admission she has some experience and couldn’t wait to get involved in the music scene here. “Collaborating, I would say, is really important,” she said. “It’s really important for students to see working musicians and connect with the community. Our students performed at the Kelowna Art Gallery’s Red and White fundraiser and in the lobby for the symphony last year.” She’s hoping they’ll see a route to continue their music, or perhaps develop an understanding of what makes an artistic practice so important. While the bulk of the students are children and youth, a good deal of onetime piano students return to the instrument in adulthood. Back at the piano, they might be more interested in jazz or come in with their own ideas of what they want to play or compose or how they want to learn and the teachers involved find a way. Finding inspiration and performance opportunities is an underlying current in Paterson’s philosophy, and that’s a little of what she’s planning to do as artistic director. Seated in the small

formed in concert at the end of November. While most music teachers across the country will stage concerts for Canada Music Week, held in the last week of November, few can claim to have filed for grant dollars to commission a top-tier composer or to commission the students themselves for that matter. At Kelowna Community Music School, however, playing alongside Schneider’s scores will be the winning pieces of a student composition contest currently underway. It’s designed to give the aspiring musicians a taste

of what it’s like to work and be paid for their efforts and showcase how those original scores they receive from composers like Schneider arrive on the pages they play. The winners take home a nominal $50 to $75 and the knowledge that they’re on the right track when they think up a melody and try to put it to paper. “For the younger ones, the teacher might help do the writing for them. They’ll describe what they’re trying to do, where it should go faster or slower and the teacher might put that to paper,” said

Paterson. A student of renowned pianist Robin Wood herself, Paterson also learned to compose and her work eventually was included in the Royal Conservatory of Music, Conservatory Canada and Victoria Conservatory Piano Exam Syllabi and Festival Syllabi—so she knows what it is she speaks of. It’s no coincidence she found her way to the successful non-profit’s door, either. While the school desperately needs a new building, what it lacks in aesthetics it more than makes up for in charm in her view.

“When I came up here, I thought that’s the kind of place where I want to teach,” said Paterson, noting she found the school by opening the phonebook. The teachers offer months of opportunities to perform by opening the school on a Saturday for anyone who wants to sign up—the sign-up sheet is always full. And the school draws on some of the best talent from the region— cello teacher Martin Krátký plays for the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra and violin and viola teacher Yvonne Kushnier played first violin for Orchestra London in Ontario and viola for the Okanagan Symphony. But most important of all, the school has found a way to provide anyone interested in music a window into that world for more than 30 years and Paterson says she wants to keep building that tradition.

NEWS ▼ WATER WISE

Using rain as a resource and keeping it clean Trina Koch CONTRIBUTOR

s the Okanagan’s rainy season approaches, it’s a good time to talk stormwater. Ever wonder what happens to water once it gurgles down the storm drain in front of your house? Many people, especially those growing up before the days of yellow fish painted beside storm sewers, probably never gave it much thought. In fact, that storm drain was, and still is for some, a handy method of getting rid of water used to wash off driveways, cars, paintbrushes and more. And what about all that oily rainwater flowing down the road and into the storm drain? Surely, all this run-off must go to the treatment plant right? Actually, no. Water and everything else that enters municipal storm drains in the Okanagan, flows directly into our creeks and lakes—without treatment. Of course, these creeks and lakes are also home to local fish and other aquatic creatures, provide water for wildlife and drinking water for many residents. Pollutants in stormwater can hurt water quality and result in health risks to humans and wildlife. In a number of Okanagan communities, lo-

cal governments and residents are working together to ensure the water that enters the storm sewers, and ultimately our creeks and lakes, is as clean as possible. Municipal government efforts include projects for rain collection, removing pollutants and preventing slope-failure which can result in the silting of our water. A number of communities are building bioswales and restoring wetlands, which clean stormwater by naturally filtering the water through vegetation. And vegetation is also being planted to stabilize slopes. For example, the District of Coldstream has taken some initial steps in stormwater treatment by building a bioswale and planting riparian plants at Creekside Park. Many residents are also doing their part to keep our stormwater clean. Here are a few ideas: • Install rain barrels, down spout flash guards or rain chains to direct and collect rainwater for re-use in your garden. • Paver stones, used in the construction of walkways and driveways, allow rainwater to sink into the spaces between stones

and into the ground. On an asphalt driveway, an asphalt berm, known as a waterbar (like a little speed bump) can be added to slow and spread run-off to vegetated or mulched (wood or gravel) areas. • If you need to wash your vehicle, do it at a car wash that recycles its water and treats it before returning it to the environment. If you must give your vehicle a quick wash at home, do it on the lawn. The lawn will act as a natural filter that removes many of the chemicals before the water makes its

NEWS â&#x2013;ź SKEET SHOOTING

Kelowna shooter bags a world championship Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only his third year in competitive skeet shooting, but Bob LaRue of the Kelowna and District Fish and Game Club has brought back top honours from a world competition in Texas. Admittedly, he has been shooting shotguns since he was 14, and competing in other shotgun competitions for 20 years, but he was competing against 1,100 competitors and was one of only a handful of Canadians in the event. It has been a year of successful competitions for the Kelowna shooter. He earlier won gold medals in both B.C. and Washington State prior to going on to the World Skeet Championships in

Texas. LaRue, who is vicepresident of the Kelowna Trap and Skeet Club, shot two per cent above his average to win the High Overall Championship gold in his age group, breaking 438 of 450 targets at the pressurepacked competition. High overall is the combined score of all four shotgun events in skeet, in 12, 20, 28 gauge and .410 bore. He was shooting at a facility in Texas that has 46 skeet fields and stadium seating for hundreds of spectators, so it might have been intimidating. However, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just turned my hearing aids off.â&#x20AC;? He said he was teamed up with buddies from Washington State and â&#x20AC;&#x153;they try to make you feel

BOB LARUE, of Kelowna and a member of the local fish and game club, won the high overall championship at a world skeet shooting competition held recently in Texas. Level II skeet instructors in Canada,â&#x20AC;? he added. Keen to develop young skeet shooters, LaRue wants to do a three-day, 10-person junior camp within the year, using one-on-one instruction from trap and skeet club members at the KDFGC grounds on Casorso Road.

At the Washington state competition, which punched LaRueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ticket to the worlds, he won the A Class High Overall title and was runner-up 20-gauge champion. He swept every event but one at the 2011 B.C. provincial skeet championships. Skeet and trap shoot-

ing is available Wednesday and Saturday at the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facilities, 4041 Casorso Rd. More in-

formation about this and other club activities are available on the website at www.kdfgc.org.

In addition to being a top shot, LaRue is also one of the KDFGCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most dedicated and active volunteers, noted Mark Rogers, club president. He brought home medals from four other events at the world championships. Just prior to the competition, LaRue became the second Canadian to achieve his National Skeet Shooting Association Level II Certified Skeet instructor designation, completing the course in San Antonio. His instruction zone is Canada west of Ontario. Much of the course is focussed on firearms safety, which Rogers said fits perfectly with the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary focus on firearms safety training. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The club is honoured to have one of our members qualify as one of two

the real reason the police lights, siren and radio were quiet on the way to the liquor store was because, somewhere, a fuse or master switch (that I hadn’t gotten around to finding yet) had been tripped to prevent problems with civilian idiots like me. I’ll fill you in on the guns later. The second generation Dodge Charger that debuted for 2011 was refreshed with new styling touches, more muscular power levels, increased content and a long list of enhancements to improve an already capable performer. The Charger slots into the auto industry’s “E” or Executive segment, a category that blurs the lines between full-size sedans and mid-size luxury versions. Chrysler, however, boastfully refers to the Charger as a four-door coupe, reflecting fastback styling influences that hearken back to Dodge’s ‘68 -å70 muscle cars. This latest gen Charger has already been well reviewed by colleagues Jim Robinson and Neil Moore. But, walking through Chrysler’s parking lot

one day, I spotted a white Charger with “Enforcer” graphics and a spotlight mounted on the driver’s “A”-pillar. It was a subtle treatment but I knew that, under the skin, it would have, as Elwood Blues would say, “a cop motor, cop tires, cop suspension and cop shocks.” “Please,” I whined over the phone. “Sure they told me. “And maybe we can even do you one better.” I returned to the scene a few weeks later, spotted the same white car, shrugged in acceptance and thumbed the key fob. Nothing happened. An unlock signal chirped behind me and I spun on my heels to come face to face with the meanest, dead-sexiest cop car I have ever seen. It was black. Stealth Dodge decals hinted at police content behind dark-tinted windows while Hemi markings on the hood hinted at the V8 monster within. The scalloped indentations on the hood and bodyside panels added an athletic leanness to the meanness. The sharksnouted Dodge face fronted one of the biggest bumper guards on the opSee Enforcer B4

ing the shadows at night. They were really a sexy but impractical fashion affectation on a model that spent most of its time polished and posing in hotel lobbies during police chief conferences. I wanted to get some feedback on the car from some of those brass hats. Peel Regional Police seemed a logical source since they have lately been proudly displaying a new 2011 model at public functions. They also patrol the Brampton, Ontario jurisdiction where the Charger is actually built. But the white shirts were non-committal, hiding behind their desks. So I took to trolling the mall and coffee shop parking lots for the rank and file, usually less timid and drawn to the car like moths to the flame. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That bumper guard is sick!â&#x20AC;? one officer admired as he and his partner walked over to the car. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not much room in the back seat,â&#x20AC;? I offered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, but who cares?â&#x20AC;? he countered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Does the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat go back any further?â&#x20AC;? They combed the Enforcer inside and out, pointing out styling and content points they liked. Which seemed to be the general theme whenever cops would walk over to check out my ride. And which also reflected the story that I had heard about Chargers often being the first vehicles out of the parking lot after a shift change. Power, performance, practicality and imageâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the latter is equally important in the macho culture embraced by both male and female police officers.

Police officers advisors sat in on design It also makes the Charger itself a better car for the rest of us. Now if I could just find that switch for the siren and lights…

Enforcer from B4 outfitted in pink. Although, come to think of it, there are cultural differences compared to the U.S. where this police version is called the “Pursuit” and 80 per cent of purchases are the Hemi V8 version. In Canada, we don’t pursue as much, so “Enforcer” became the favoured name, and the sales percentages are reversed with more economical V6 models coming out on top. Okay, you might be thinking, a cop car review, but how does that affect me? Well, two of the questions I asked the Chrysler fleet guys were “what is it about the Charger that makes it a good police car?” and, conversely, “what are the police car strengths built into a regular Charger that make it a good car for consumers?” Turns out that an international advisory board of police officers including RCMP, OPP, Peel and other Canadian members, was involved with the very beginning of the secondgeneration Charger. They sat in on the deksign dome simulator sessions, influencing factors like sight lines, a larger windshield and lowered mirrors for better visibility, interior seating room, steering and handling tweaks, the whopping increased V6 power levels, even the full-width LED tail lamp display. Which doesn’t just make the Dodge Charger Enforcer a made-in-Canada solution for Canadian police forces.

Mercedes C goes to the head of the Class Jim Robinson CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

Kennebunkport, Me.: It can be argued the CClass is the pillar upon which the Mercedes-Benz brand is built in this country. In the past three years,

aggressive marketing and much increased content has seen the three-pointed star knock the blue and while roundel off the pinnacle of top selling luxury brand in Canada. The 2012 MercedesBenz C-Class sedan follows that time honoured

principle of ‘if it ain’t broke…’ In the six-model CClass Sedan lineup there are five engines, three transmissions and a choice between rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and 4Matic (allSee C-Class B7

C-Class offers 6-model lineup with choices to satisfy most tastes, budgets C-Class from B6 wheel-drive) modes. Basically it covers a wide range of price points and, more importantly, gives those who lease some options to play with. First up is the C 250 RWD ($36,700) with a new 1.8-litre inline fourcylinder engine with gasoline direct injection and turbocharging that produces 201 hp and 228 hp. Acceleration time from 0-100 km/h is 7.2 seconds and the fuel consumption rating is 9.6/6.3/8.1L/100 km city/highway/combined. While the name is the same, the C 250 4Matic ($39,900) uses a 2.5-litre normally aspirated DOHC V6 producing 201 hp and 181 lb/ft of torque. With less torque than the 1.8-litre acceleration time from 0-100 km/h is 8.6 seconds. Because it had AWD, fuel consumption is slightly more at 12.4/8.3/10.6L/100 km city/highway/combined. The C 300 4Matic (($45,200) is a holdover model with a 3.0-litre DOHC engine making 228 hp and 211 lb/ ft of torque. The 0-100 km/h time for this version is 7.2 seconds. Fuel consumption is rated at 11.8/7.9/10.1L/100 km city/highway/combined. The C 350 RWD

($49,000) and C 350 4Matic ($50,800) are both powered by a 3.5-litre DOHC V6 producing 302 hp and 273 lb/ft of torque. Both share the same 0-100 km/h time of 6.0 seconds and a fuel rating of 10.7/7.0/9.1L/100 km city/highway/combined. Last up is the mighty C63 AMG ($65,000) with DOHC V8 pumping out 451 hp and 443 lb/ft of torque. The 0-100 acceleration time is just 4.5 seconds but fuel consumption is a hefty 16.0/10.4/13.5L/100 km city/highway/combined. While the 4Matic versions continue to use the tried and true 7G-tronic seven-speed automatic, the two non AMG RWD models have the new 7GTronic Plus that results in faster, smoother shifts with less noise while using less fuel. The C 63 AMG gets the new AMG Speedshift MCT seven-speed automatic that offers four selectable drive modes from super sports with launch control to comfort/cruising setting. I drove both the 1.8-litre, 3.5-litre and AMG 63 in the Coupe version of the 2012 CClass Coupes so I expect driving impressions to be the same.

MOTORING C-Class from B8 the interior close to that of the E-Class sedan. On top of the centre stack is the all-new NTG 4.5 Telematics infotainment system featuring larfger screen, better graphics. Integrated into the dash, this new system re-

places the former pop-up navigation system. Those familiar with the C-Class will notice the new steering wheel design with flat bottom on the C 300 and C 350 Models. The new centre stack has revised vents and instruments. When you are at the

top of any feeding chain there are lots of others nipping at your heels which is why Mercedes-Benz takes the BMW 3-Series, Audi A4, Infiniti G37 and the Cadillac CTS seriously. With that in mind, Mercedes-Benz is on a Canadian roll so watch for

them to jealously protect their Number One luxury car status.

TAYLOR, NIGEL CUNNINGHAME Born in Kelowna, July 13, 1920, died in Kelowna Oct. 18, 2011. Nigel is survived by Margaret (Lee) Taylor, his loving wife of 68 years, and four children: David (Andrea), Stephanie Geis, Gordon (Joanne), and Barbara; daughter-in-law Janet, his sister Belinda Duyvewaardt, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by daughter Mary-Lou and sons Robin and Rodney. Born in a bunkhouse on Bankhead Orchards, Nigel was the son of early fruit growers Claude and Madge Taylor who had settled in Kelowna In 1912. With the exception of the war years and school, his whole life was spent in Kelowna. He was educated at Vernon Prep School (Mackie’s) and Shawnigan Lake. At the age of 19, he enlisted in the British Columbia Dragoons at the outbreak of WWII and rose through the ranks to Major. He was severely wounded in Italy while serving with the 5th Canadian Armoured Division. After the war, Nigel remained active with the BCD’s, serving as second-in-command of the Regiment. Before retiring from the militia, he was awarded the Canadian Forces Decoration, and was made honorary life member of the BCD Whizzbang Association. During the war, he met and married Margaret Leonora Besford of Surbiton, England. Nigel returned with Lee to the family orchard in South Kelowna where they raised their seven children. Nigel was very involved in the South-East Kelowna and greater Kelowna community. Among his contributions were people’s warden of St. Mary’s Church, member of the East Kelowna Boy Scouts Committee, trustee on the School Board, chair of the South and East Kelowna Centennial Committee, commissioner for the Memorial Arena, president of the Kelowna SPCA, and a charter member of the Kelowna Kiwanis Club. Nigel served on many tree fruit and agricultural organizations. He was a life member of the BC Fruit Growers’ Association and served as President of the Canadian Horticulture Council. He loved to travel, and instilled in his children his love of nature and animals, of hunting and ﬁshing. The family would like to thank Dr. Griswold and the staffs at Cottonwoods and Sutherland Hills for their kind care of Nigel. Should family and friends so desire, memorial donations may be made in his name to the bursary fund of the Whizzbang Veterans’ Association of the British Columbia Dragoons. A private family service will be held.

Dawn

Bortolotto

Passed away suddenly from a brain aneurysm at her loving home on Tuesday, October 18, 2011 at the age of 45, with her husband, friend and neighbour by her side. Dawn was born in Kelowna, BC, raised in Richmond, BC and moved back to Kelowna in the early 1990s. Dawn was the middle child of Tom and Evelyn McManus, the beloved wife of Lorenzo, and mother to their precious daughters Selina, nine years old, and Maria, seven years old. Dawn will forever be remembered by her devoted sister Lynn, loving brother Tom, caring in-laws Cathy and Fabio, Ugo and Luisa, nieces and nephews; Trent, Talor, Georgia, Jake, Isabella, Matteo, Cristina along with countless other friends and family who were blessed to know her. Dawn touched the lives of many people with her smile and generosity, and always had an open door for friends and family; her laugh and zest for life was intoxicating. Dawn was an avid and enthusiastic equestrian immensely loved and respected in the horse community. She was excited to be a volunteer committee member for the BC Horse Council. She worked passionately on a brochure that aimed to merge drivers, pedestrians, cyclists and horseback riders to safely share our BC roads. Dawn loved being with her family, horses, her dogs Chief and Grubby, gardening, computer design, ﬁshing, cooking, making people laugh, being involved in the South Kelowna community and having fun with friends. Dawn worked at the Kelowna Capital News for almost 20 years and always considered it her second home. Many clients, customers and employees at the Capital News will miss her sense of humour, quick wit, and diligent work ethic. Dawn believed in living life to its fullest and she did that every day. Dawn has been taken from us far too soon; we will honour her love for life and have a celebration in her honour. Friends and family are invited to a celebration of life in Dawn’s memory being held at her beloved home, 3859 Jean Road, on Saturday, October 29, 2011 in an open house format as Dawn would have wanted between 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Memorial speeches will start at approximately 2:00 pm. Donations in lieu of ﬂowers can be made on behalf of the Bortolotto girls at the Kelowna Capital News, 2495 Enterprise Way.

Rental suites can help reduce a home’s mortgage cost Now is an excellent time to purchase a rental property in the Okanagan Valley. The real estate market is a buyer’s market while mortgage interest rates continue to remain low. A rental property is any type of residential property that will generate rental income. It can be a house, townhouse, condo,

duplex or a four-plex. The rental income is taxable but the mortgage interest is tax deductible, so the two may off-set each other. When qualifying for a mortgage to purchase a rental property, you will be able to use rental income to help with the approval of your application.

The down payment on a rental property must be at least 20 per cent with an amortization period of up to 35 years. The down payment can come from the equity in your existing home. A rental property can earn you money each month while building equity in your investment. For example, if you

purchase a rental property for $350,000 with a down payment of $70,000 and an amortization period of 35 years, your mortgage would be $280,000. With a variable rate of 2.60%, your monthly payment would be $1,013.94. If the rental property rents for $1,600 per month, this scenario

would earn you $586.06 per month which is $7,032.72 per year. One not of caution: Realize that this calculation does not include property taxes. Another option is to purchase a home with a suite that will provide rental income. The rental suite does not have to be legal and the income it generates can be used to help you qualify for a mortgage. You can purchase a home with a suite with a little as five per cent down and an amortization period of up to 30 years. A rental suite can provide extra income that will help you afford your monthly mortgage pay-

ment. For example, if you purchase a principal residence home with a suite for $400,000 with a down payment of $20,000 and an amortization of 30 years, your mortgage would be $380,000. With a fixed rate of 3.09%, your monthly payment would be $1,616.54, not including property taxes. If the suite rents for $900 per month, this would essentially make your monthly payment $716.54 per month. You could also look at it like the suite is earning you $10,800 per year. When refinancing an existing rental property, the mortgage may be up

to 80% of the current value with an amortization of up to 35 years. If you are refinancing a principal residence with a suite, you are able to obtain a mortgage up to 85% of the current value.

CRYSTAL HEIGHTS is a dynamic neighbourhood within The Lakes development in Lake Country, with two interior design options to choose from.

W CRYSTAL HEIGHTS

Homes that appeal to young families, empty nesters Bobbi-Sue Menard CONTRIBUTOR

The hills above Lake Country offer spectacular views combined with a tranquil lifestyle with easy access to nearby UBC Okanagan and Kelowna International Airport. This alluring combination of characteristics continues to draw the attention of home buyers to the Crystal Heights in The

Lakes development in the Central Okanagan community. The Lakes is a multistage, master planned community with fabulous views overlooking Wood Lake from the neighbouring hillside, accessed from Oceola Road. The Lakes is 300 acres in size, with lengthy walking trails built throughout the community and surrounded by Crown land.

It is simplicity itself to enjoy the active outdoor lifestyle with easy access to Lake Country wineries, hiking, skiing and so much more. Crystal Heights is neighborhood within The Lakes, beautiful semi-detached homes that are perfect for young families and empty nesters alike. Crystal Heights is set up as low density with large fenced yards and

private landscaping. The neighbourhood has been designed for quiet living with two cul-desacs surrounded by greenspace to enhance the quiet living aspect. The first phase of 10 Crystal Heights homes has been completed, with two floor plans available. The 1, 566 square foot ‘emerald’ floor plan is a three bedroom home with 2.5 baths and side by side

garage. There is a staggering amount of storage space, even room for a hobby area on the ground floor. The main floor living area is spacious with both a family room space and a living room. The living room features an expansive balcony, large windows and a focal point fireplace. The kitchen features an island and summer

morning breakfasts and evening entertaining will be perfect on the walkout patio just outside the kitchen door and into the fenced back yard. There is a powder room on the main floor to maintain livability. Upstairs is a master suite with vaulted ceilings, a window seat, and separate from the bathroom walk in closet. The two secondary

rooms are well sized and situated around a roomy upstairs landing with a gracious feel. The laundry is located on the bedroom floor for ease and convenience. The slightly smaller ‘opal’ floor plan is 1,420 sq.ft. A two-car tandem garage includes plenty of extra storage area. See Homes B23
