NO-FLY

ZONE A political gaffe from birth to death

Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna’s anti-abortion organization may not have succeeded in its attempt to fly its flag atop City Hall, but its efforts did get the attention of a national audience. Within hours of Right to Life sending out a news release claiming the municipality agreed to fly its colours, news organizations swooped in and Kelowna was labelled the first city in B.C. to wave an antiabortion flag. It wasn’t quite the case, say city staff, but as soon as the words were written critics of the decision took to the web to offer their perspectives on the flag and Kelowna in general—and, for the most part, the hundreds of reviews that poured in weren’t favourable.

Council chose to avoid flag controversy from A1 “Ever since I left Kelowna, I have become increasingly religious. Every day I thank God I left that city,” said a commenter named Don, on the MacLean’s website. Another, named whistlebritches, took to the CBC website to say: “Kelowna just stepped back 60 years, should never mix religion and politics.” “ I am re-considering whether to go to Kelowna for a golf trip,” said RickChau on the same site. The one-liners that were posted onto various websites were just the tip of the iceberg, however. City Hall was inundated with complaints and comments, and they all had a similar feel, said city communications manager Tom Wilson. “In reviewing all the responses, people were incredulous that we would have such a service and expressed disdain that we didn’t see this coming,” said Wilson, who noted that other cities have similar flag practices in place. In fact, both Vancouver and Toronto have courtesy flag programs similar to Kelowna’s, and yearly hoist the pride flag above their offices. “I think we knew when the policy was being created that there was potential for controversy and divisiveness, but it’s the kind of service where it either has to be open to everyone or open to none,” he said. Complicating mat-

ters for the city, it seems, was that the Right to Life people were acting with a degree of political savvy. The city policy restricts promoting a point of view or organization of a political, ethical or religious nature. Right to Life’s proposed flag used the slogan, “From Conception to Natural Death” coupled with a Pro-Life label and a photo depicting the progressing stages of life from infancy to old age. Wilson explained “the sample shown contained wording that advocates a point of view,” and that didn’t cut it. Wilson contends he called the organization’s headquarters and said as much, telling them they could resubmit a proposal for another flag to fly, with those thoughts in mind. But by that time, Right to Life had already sent out the release, saying they’d received city approval and the floodgates were opened. “We’re a democracy, we respect free speech and charter rights,” Wilson said. “The bylaw was formulated with the idea there would be controversy, but if groups followed guidelines, and if it was just the brand of who it was without the words, then it would err on the side of openness and fairness for all.” For that reason, Wilson said the second flag, which was emblazoned with the words “Pro Life” would not have made the

grade, either. “The decision would have been no because the new flag clearly espouses a point of view,” he said. Council, just two days after the maelstrom of bad publicity was released, however, stopped Wilson

last Monday from having to make that call. Coun. Luke Stack introduced a motion to axe the policy, saying City Hall should be focused on city business. “We have our Government of Canada flag

supported the motion. “It’s a new council and a new day, and they want to focus on more serious business than a courtesy flag,” added Wilson. Cutting off the practice altogether, however, wasn’t exactly welcomed news to all—especially among those who continue to see the value in the symbols represented by flags. It was just one year ago when the local Okanagan Pride organization flew their flag—the first to be flown under the short-lived policy—and it will technically be the last courtesy flag to fly. “It’s very interesting because we spent a lot of time trying to make this happen, and now there won’t be any flags flown,” said Wilbur Turner, a coorganizer of last week’s Pride events. “It’s disappointing, but we’re not a political organization so we don’t want to get involved in the discussion of what is right and wrong. “It’s just disappointing the city has gone back on this. “It’s a shotgun approach to solving the problem.” Turner pointed out that other cities, like To-

ronto and Winnipeg, have flown the flags for pride festivals with little ado, and it’s a shame Kelowna couldn’t do the same. Marlon Bartram, of the Right to Life Society, pointed out that there are even cities in Canada—such as Guelph and Whitby, Ont.—that fly the Pro Choice flag, with less fuss. And, if Kelowna was acting as a democracy, Bartram argues the city would have seen fit to allow the society to fly their flag, at least for one day. But, he said, it’s not like the decision to kibosh the policy altogether was unforeseen. “We knew that was an option, and probably the one that would lead them to the least hottest water,” he said. “If they had chosen to deny our request they would risk committing an act of discrimination, and if they granted our request they’d get a lot of nasty letters and calls.” Bartram also doesn’t believe that the direction to not have a flag that “espouses a point of view” was particularly clear.

that city hall went pro life, flag free. “Anytime that the public talks about the issue it’s a good thing,” he said. “Both sides should get equal say.” What’s been a public problem for the city, he explained, has actually offered inspiration to his anti-abortion cohorts across Canada. The Right to Life’s sister societies in Valemount, B.C., and Fredricton, N.B., have both made contact, and expressed interest at bringing the flag fights to their cities, meaning it won’t likely be the last time the issue crops up. Mayor Walter Gray, however, is just pleased that his council can wash their hands of the pub-

lic relations problem that was strikingly similar, from the outside, to one he faced many years ago. It’s been well reported that Gray got into hot water with the Human Right’s tribunal 15 years ago, for cutting the word “pride” from the Gay and Lesbian Pride Proclamation. That prompted him to stop making proclama-

tions altogether. “One could look at the two situations and say it’s coincidental,” he said. The big difference, he stressed, is that all those years ago he acted alone, while this time the council worked in unison to get rid of the potential problem. “We could see that we could be headed for the

same thing I headed for 15 years ago, which was discrimination,” he said. The Human Right’s Tribunal didn’t agree with allegations made against Gray, but they did rule he discriminated, and that was not a path council wanted to get mired in. Ultimately, however, it’s not much of a loss, he said. “These flags are advertising messages, they’re not flags, they’re just messages,” he said. “ “So we said, you know, the flag poles should be reserved for flags, so that matter was disposed of…and council is going to stand by that decision.” As for the publicity created by the lead-up to that decision, Gray said it was a bit disappointing. “It’s too bad,” he said. “I would rather that the national media said we had beautiful warm weather and all hotel rooms filled. But this isn’t city council’s story, this is a story created by pro-life group.” Since the decision to kill the flag policy was announced Monday, communications with the city have been a lot more favourable as well. Emails have subsided, and those that did trickle in were largely positive.

▼ TRANSIT

BQ B round ua

Expanded bus fleet carries a $1 million cost The city’s plan to expand public transit in Kelowna over the next three years will add service for recreation users, post-secondary students and those who visit and work at Kelowna General Hospital. But while the transit expansion will add new routes, more service hours and as many as nine new buses to the existing fleet, it will also come with a price-tag of more than $1 million for city taxpayers. The cost of the buses, however, will be covered by money the city has already set aside and contributions from other area partners in the transit system, surrounding municipalities and the regional district. The city currently pays about $3.5 million of the $18.5 million total cost of transit here, with other municipalities and CORD, as well as B.C. transit, and fares collected covering the rest of the cost. According to Ron Westlake, the city’s director of regional services, the three-year expansion plan, approved by city council earlier this week, is critical to the Kelowna’s stated goal of growing its transit system, which is already one for the fastest-growing municipal systems in the country. Over the last five years it has seen an estimated 10 per cent growth in ridership per year, said Westlake. One of the areas that will get more service is the Okanagan College campus on KLO Road, as the city tries to convince students there to approve a UPASS

PUBLIC TRANSIT in Kelowna will add up to nine new buses over the next three years. system similar to the one UBCO students have had for the last few years. Another part of the expansion plan calls for a new route connecting the existing rapid-bus route along Highway 97 and the Mission Recreation Park on Gordon Drive, home of the Capital News recreation centre, the H2O Aquatic Centre and the Mission Recreation Park sportsfields. More service is also slated Kelowna General Hospital, which was recently expanded with a new patientcare tower and clinical service building and is currently preparing for the additional of a multi-million dollar heart and surgical centre. Westlake said the planned expansion is part of a series of moves that make up the city’s Transit Future Plan, endorsed by city council last year. Part of the three-year expansion plan calls for extra 11,000 service hours and that is seen as key to attracting more riders to add to the current 4.3 million rides provided on the Central Okanagan system each year now. A recent review of B.C. Transit operations recommended municipalities have more say in how transit operates in their communities. The three-year expansion plan covers 2013 to 2016.

On side with oil refinery

To the editor: Media mogul David Black has my full support for his proposal to build a $13-billion oil refinery near Kitimat to process heavy oil from the Enbridge pipeline. I’ve had the same idea myself. Why should we let the Asian countries buy our Canadian crude oil and refine it for their markets when we could add value by refining it here in B.C. and shipping them the finished product? This is a strategy that would create local jobs for our own citizens and address the environmental concerns around oil tankers travelling in B.C.’s coastal waters. I know for a fact that Alberta wants to do this because I worked on a project in East Edmonton (a stone’s throw from the refineries in Fort Saskatchewan) that would have seen it become a reality. And as long as Enbridge meets the conditions and standards set out by the premier, moving heavy oil from Alberta through a pipeline would be a heck of a lot better than shipping it by rail or truck. That’s why B.C. should be working with Alberta on exactly the kind of joint interprovincial venture David Black is proposing, a venture that would bring value-added

Plight of Okanagan fruit growers not being heard

t’s not easy being a fruit grower in the Okanagan. On one hand, working the land, growing something that people travel from miles across the country to buy and taste, working free of the hustle and bustle of a growing urban centre like Kelowna seems appealing. But on the other hand, after listening to the frustrations expressed at a meeting Tuesday of cherry growers at Rutland Centennial Hall, who needs that kind of unpredictability and stress? This year, it appears to be the Okanagan Valley’s cherry growers aligned with the B.C. Tree Fruits Co-op who are feeling under attack from many directions. The weather, our provincial gov-

EDITOR’S NOTE

ernment, local MLAs, Washington cherry product flooding the market at below local farm production costs, the stranglehold of the Agricultural Land Reserve on their ability to farm and sell their properties all were subjects that came under fire at

the meeting. But of all those issues, the state of the ALR in our province is one that now has a generational history and still apparently resonates as a sore point for local fruit growers. We often think of the ALR in terms of preventing developers from using valuable farming land to build housing projects or shopping malls. But the farmers here come at it from a different direction, that it can be a fi-

nancial noose around their necks in a way the public fails to understand. As a bit of history, B.C.’s Land Commission Act came into effect April 18, 1973, under former premier Dave Barrett’s NDP leadership watch. The new commission, appointed by the provincial government, was established to oversee a special land use zone to protect the province’s dwindling supply of agricultural land. That zone was called the Agricultural Land Reserve, with inclusion in that zone based on the capability and suitability of the land for agricultural purposes. The ALR gained prominence in the years that followed as a means for local residents to protest major land developments in the Lower Mainland. That’s why even today, the popularity of the ALR among voters would probably rank in the 80 per cent range,

and why successive provincial governments since the NDP introduced the legislation have left it in place. But for farmers, lost in the original concept behind the ALR was for government to provide compensation for farmers when times were tough because the legislation effectively landlocked them to only use their land for agricultural purposes. What was clear on Tuesday is that cherry growers are under attack from the larger production of Washington fruit growers, coupled with a government that can’t or won’t offer subsidies to help local growers during tough times. They view both these situations as going against the spirit of the ALR as it was originally intended. Since they can’t sell their land to

Pro-lifers could try positive spin for a change To the editor: Right to Life Society leader Marlon Bartram’s claim that it’s “unfair” their flag cannot fly in the same space as the Rainbow Coalition’s or the Special Olympics’ is extremely insulting to these groups. He and his group have chosen membership in their cause, whereas being homosexual, or having a disability isn’t optional. It’s important we affirm the equal membership of “different” mem-

bers of our community through events like Pride and the Special Olympics, to avoid the persecution that was historically acceptable. Visible and sexual minorities undeniably suffered professional discrimination in eras when governments didn’t stand with them. Whereas you can be a pro-lifer without any of your co-workers ever knowing. Suggesting that the rainbow flag’s acceptance and the pro-life flag’s re-

jection is discrimination undermines the tremendous history of suffering and violence endured by the LGBT community. The inclusion of Pride into our community spirit does not negate Mr. Bartram’s right to be heterosexual. The exclusion of their flag from City Hall doesn’t threaten the safety of Right to Life members, nor deny them the right to demonstrate. If the Kelowna Right to Life Society wants the same public accept-

ance as the Rainbow Coalition, I suggest they follow the example of class demonstrated last week. The LGBT community had every right to bring up events from the past, and deny Walter Gray the spotlight, but they graciously turned their fabulous other cheeks to focus on the positive, casting negativity on no one. (Mayor Proclaims Pride Week, Aug. 21 Capital News) Anti-abortionists of Kelowna, give up your aggressive, guilt-rid-

den confrontations and graphic visuals. Show us a healthy, fun, all-ages event like Pride, that celebrates the positive contributions your group will make to the community you feel entitled to belong to. Prove that your inclusion won’t push someone else out. You want fair? This is the criteria the Rainbow Coalition met: Why don’t you do the same. Amanda Poon, Kelowna

Differences denied by not allowing all flags To the editor: To unify a city full of different people you don’t pretend they’re all the same. Yet in ending courtesy flags, the flying of different organizations’ flags at City Hall, Kelowna city council has done just that. Where just weeks ago the City flew the Gay Pride flag, a symbol that celebrates differences, our same city has decided that now courtesy flags, and the differences they represent, only weaken it. It was when the Right To Life Society requested

to fly a pro-life flag that city council, in an attempt to avoid controversy and to unify the city, decided all courtesy flags will no longer be flown. The problem being, of course, just as all Kelownians aren’t all the same, not all courtesy flags are the same, and pretending that they are does not unite us, it divides us. Our differences, be it our cultures, our religions, our sexual orientations, our charities, or our festivals all make our city what it is. In preferring no flags

over the flags that represent diversity, our differences are swept under the rug. And though we may have consolation in that it’s the same rug, the same policy of “no courtesy flags” for everyone, our council’s decision reflects a city that no longer takes pride in our differences, and instead discourages them. Our new $100 bill was shaped using the same mistaken sentiment. The Canadian Mint this week acknowledged that it removed the image of an

Asian woman scientist because of complaints from focus groups that the picture should represent all ethnicities or none of them. The image was redrawn to make her ethnically neutral, and in doing so, Canada’s diversity wasn’t celebrated, it was dismissed. Though the Canadian Mint has since apologized, the idea that it’s either all ethnicities on a currency or none, or all courtesy flags flying at City Hall or none, is wrong. None should never be an op-

tion when Kelowna and Canada are made strong because of diversity and are proud of the differences that make our city and country great. Kelowna city council has rejected all courtesy flags because they didn’t want City Hall to be a place of special interests, but in flying all the different courtesy flags city hall represented the most important special interest— a diverse Kelowna. Scott Ross, Kelowna

More punishment for repeat dangerous drivers To the editor: When cars are driven at these high rates of speed, on our public highways, they are no longer a means of transportation, but weapons. (Trio of Motorists Caught Racing

Farmers stuck with ALR burden Gerding from A8 developers, and to continue farming means draining their personal resources with very few willing to invest in a losing business proposition, fruit growers are being penalized for having to carry on the philosophy behind the ALR’s creation. Some of the farmers at Tuesday’s meeting suggested a provincial referendum be held in conjunction with the next provincial election, asking if British Columbians still support the ALR. But any referendum question would also come with a caveat—to impose an additional burden on taxpayers who support the ALR to in turn support farmers through subsidization efforts to keep their farms financially viable. The sense of the farmers, I think, is that taxpayers might not be so willing to support the ALR’s mission if it means money out of their pocketbooks, such as the case that farmers argue they now face.

There seems to be a missing link of understanding between farmers and the rest of us. When I lived in Abbotsford back in the ’80s, farming was and still is a big deal in the Fraser Valley and farmers were always complaining about something. But when I would drive around the rural areas, it seemed like every second farm had either a tennis court or swimming pool, leaving me with a disconnect in understanding their complaints. While an ALR referendum is unlikely to occur, putting more pressure on the provincial government to address their issues remains a more achievable aim. So is providing the public a better understanding of those issues, a human interest backstory behind their agricultural existence that most of us don’t understand or appreciate. If you want to get to the politicians, you have to win over the hearts and minds of voters. Barry Gerding is the managing editor of the Capital News. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

Less than seven months after undergoing surgery to repair her badly damaged left knee, Kelsey Serwa is back on the slopes. The 22-year-old from Kelowna is spending the next two weeks at Mount Hood, Oregon training with the rest of the Canadian ski cross team. Serwa, the 2011 world and X-Games ski cross champion, took to the snow on Monday for the first time since suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and damaged meniscus after crashing at a World Cup race Jan. 11 in Alpe d’Huez, France. “I was nervous to start skiing at first just because I expected my knee to feel different than it felt before my accident,” Serwa wrote on her blog this week. “After a few slow turns I was pleasantly surprised. My knee feels exactly the same than it used to. I am taking it slow at the moment with skiing. The important thing for me right now is to not rush into anything too soon.” It’s been a long and, at times, arduous road back for Serwa who underwent surgery on Jan. 30 in Whistler.

KELOWNA ski cross racer Kelsey Serwa was back on the snow this week at Mt. Hood, Oregon. basic rehabilitation exercises for the first several months in the winter and spring—including plenty of physiotherapy at Pinnacle Elite and swimming at the YMCA—Serwa was able to push her rehab to the next level in July with strength training to rebuild the muscles around the knee. “Basic easy movements were extremely difficult and took tremendous mental strength just to get through them,” she wrote. “Big stepping stones in my training included the first time I was able to pedal a bike, jump on and off a box, do a squat with

more than 25 pounds on my back, and touch my heel to my bum. What is amazing is the rate of progression from one week to the next. Each week I am stronger.” Since making the switch from downhill to ski cross racing in 2009, Serwa has had 12 World Cup podium finishes, including two victories in Italy in December of last year. If all goes as planned, Serwa will be 100 per cent healthy and back competing on the Canadian team for the first World Cup ski cross event of the 2012-13 season Dec. 6 at Nakiska.

As the West Kelowna Warriors begin its B.C. Hockey League training camp, the team is losing a veteran presence. Twenty-year-old forward Dru Morrison is taking the next step in his career and is heading to the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology to further his education. Originally from Russell, Manitoba, the versatile and speedy forward arrived in Kelowna as a 15 year old to attend the Pursuit of Excellence Hockey Academy. His family soon joined him in the Okanagan, and the now20 year old still calls Kelowna home. Morrison is still eligible to play one more year of junior hockey, but

has elected to head to Calgary after being accepted into SAIT’s power engineering program this week. “He’s a young man who’s already played three years of junior, and he’s ready to take the next step,” said Warriors head coach Rylan Ferster. “It’s about him now and about him moving forward in his life and his career.” Of course, Morrison will continue to play the game he loves, and is set to join the SAIT Trojans in the Alberta collegiate ranks when term begins. “He’ll get the chance to play at a higher level,” said Ferster. “And after he gets his education he could still play pro somewhere down the road.” Trojans Head Coach

National bronze for duo

Kelowna duo Quinci Birker and Natalie Livingston followed up their provincial gold medal with a bronze-medal performance at Canadian National Beach Volleyball Championships in Vancouver. Competing last weekend in the U14 division at rSpanish Banks, the Kelowna team won three of four pool games on opening day. On Day 2, pooled with the four best teams in Canada, the B.C. champs came up short against tprovincial silver medalists Keturakis/Kepler of White Rock (21-17, 216) and the Alberta champions (21-14, 21-15). On Day 3, in single elimination playoffs, Birker/Livingston came through under pressure, winning 21-19 and 21-12 in the opening round, then edged out Funk/Scholz in the quarterfinals 21-19, 8-21, 15-11.

Allergies

Time not so well wasted

ver the past two weeks, I have spent a total of four nights in my own bed. The rest of my sleeping has taken place in my grandparents’ guest room in High River, my friends’ living room in Calgary and a hotel room in Vancouver. This is a result of bad timing. I had the whole summer to travel and I decided to go to Alberta the week before my family’s trip to Vancouver. Time also played a large role as I traveled by Greyhound, cumulating in two 10-hour rides and nine hours to Vancouver and back. Needless to say, I’m still enjoying use of my leg muscles. I pack for every trip the same: One bag with my clothes and essentials and another with essentials for keeping me entertained during the traveling aspect. I fill this second bag with my iPod, phone, newspaper and a book or two. I always plan to hardly touch the former two items and instead pass my time productively by reading.

CONNECTING WITH YOUTH

Amber Krogel On the Greyhound, I told myself that once I had plowed through the newspaper, I would finish the book. After all, I had 10 hours. In reality, I endured the long ride on the Greyhound in a stupefied haze, rotating between my iPod and sleep. At one point, I read a page or two of my book and decided I didn’t have the mental energy to go any further. I never touched the newspaper (except to cover the bum of an Olympian gymnast that was featured quite largely on the front page). I wish that I had more energy while traveling to do something productive and worthwhile. But sadly, I have realized that my travel laziness stretches into my day-to-day life. Too often, I find myself looking at funny Internet memes on a website

that is accurately called IWasteSoMuchTime. com. While sitting in front of the computer or TV can be a relaxing way to spend time, it’s important to find a balance. The memory of looking at photos of your best friend’s sister’s soccer team member’s cousin is unlikely to be recalled with as much enthusiasm as an experience that involves something other than a couch or computer chair. The strongest and best memories that I have are the ones where I did something worthwhile or out of my comfort zone. That looks different for each person. Maybe your off-the-easy-chair activity is painting, going for a hike, or seeing that band you really like. These activities not only provide better responses than “Facebook” or “Modern Family episodes” when someone asks about your hobbies, but they will also create your greatest and most memorable experiences.

WRIST PAIN

Bell Carpal Tunnel Syndrome #30 gave quick relief within an hour. I was hand milking cows and began having weakness, numbness and pain shooting up my arms. Pain increased at night. My doctor suggested surgery as the only option. Not true! The pain and numbness are all gone after taking #30. I can do now whatever activity I want. Marjorie Wilson, 55, Dubuc, SK I’m a car mechanic. Holding tools was getting increasingly difficult because of wrist and tendon pain. After 2 weeks on #30 I’m fully productive again. Cancelled scheduled surgery. William Marrero, 56, Miami, FL I was wearing wrist braces. A woman saw it and told me she had relief right away with #30. I got some same day. It worked for me as well. Thanks a million. Diane Frank, 49, North Battleford, SK I’m a nurse and work with my hands all day. I experienced increasing pain in my hands and fingers. Surgery was the only option I was told.

BILLYGANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S MEDANO Beach Club on Medano beach in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, features a caballero doing lasso tricks. More sedate pleasures are to be found on the Baja peninsula.

Leave raucous Cabo behind for easy-going Zona Turistica Gary A. Warner CONTRIBUTOR

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another side to Cabo San Lucas, where tequila is gold and not white and comes in short fluted glasses, not poured into your gullet by a funnel stuck in your mouth. A place where the food doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come on the edge of a stick or wrapped in a tortilla. Behind the guard-shack-

rimmed gates, the resorts north of Cabo San Lucas create their own little worlds, where you are encouraged never to leaveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;except perhaps for a round of golf. This is all by design. Modern Caboâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s midwife can be found in a squat building next to the traffic circle, where arriving visitors make a right turn to head down the coast to Cabo San Lucas from the airport access road. Few who are go-

ing to the resorts along the Sea of Cortez know that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FONATUR, the Mexican development agency that dreamed up Cabo (and Cancun, Ixtapa, Loreto and Huatulco). The idea at Cabo was to create a gringo playground at the southern tip of Baja California, far from the cities whose problems of pollution, poverty, congestion and sometimes crime discouraged less-adventurous travelers from con-

sidering traditional resorts like Acapulco and Puerto Vallarta. Everything is master planned, from the international airport away from the beaches to the four-lane highway that speeds motorists from the Mexican town of San Jose del Cabo to the

Luxury resorts designed to keep you safe, happy Cabo from A19 full-blown Americano party town that Cabo San Lucas has become. In between is a strip of luxury resorts, where I decided to start my trip to Cabo with Orange County Register photographer Leonard Ortiz. In a more commercially minded country, the area would be called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Gold Coastâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Baja Riviera.â&#x20AC;? But FONATURâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creation goes by the functional if not very romantic monik-

er of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Zona Turisticaâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the tourist zone. The result shows that bureaucracy can be beautiful. For my first two nights, I booked into the Westin. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve looked in wonder at pictures of this massive resort for years. The arc-shaped main building with the huge â&#x20AC;&#x153;windowâ&#x20AC;? cut out of the bottom that allows views to the beach looked like some kind of alien architecture. With its clay-red colour, I dubbed it â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Mars Hotel.â&#x20AC;? The fine sand beach

is perfect for sunbathing or strolling, but the choppy waves and somewhat rocky shoreline make swimming a nono here. A black flag that needs no translation flaps in the stiff, warm breeze at the shoreline. No matter. There are two poolsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;one adults-only, with a swimup bar. The rooms are strongly air-conditioned, and every room has an ocean view from angled balconies that look out at the Sea of Cortez. We stayed a Sunday

and Monday night, and the resort was strangely empty. No problem getting tables for dinner or a chair at the beach. The one time I went swimming, I had the pool to myself. In search of life, we headed out on the road the first day. Lower Baja California has a rocky, browngray landscape with the occasional Saguaro cactus. The desert runs down to a brilliant blue sea, like Arizona with an ocean. The dark monochrome of the landscape would be upset every few miles by a string of green patches signaling another golf course. We swung off the highway to Chileno Beach, one of the best sand strands that still keeps a somewhat natural look. It has just one rather sedate, low-slung development at the far north end of the crescent. A security guard looked after cars in the free lot, while new thatched palapas lined the beach, giving welcome shade from the blazing sun hitting the white sand. The sand gave the water a psychedelic green tinge. I was disappointed when we arrived to find a party boat at anchor off the beach, a disc jockey blasting Thriller by Michael Jackson while another member of the crew used a loudspeaker to bellow â&#x20AC;&#x153;come on everybody, party!â&#x20AC;? Another boat appeared, apparently to rendezvous with a fleet of yellow sea kayaks that came around the point. But in 10 minutes the party boat and the kayaker boat were gone, and all I could hear was the lapping of the waves. The June water was a bit brisk,

Finding a secluded beach is a treasure for return trips Cabo from A20 but fine once you got used to it. The small waves were enough for some fun bodysurfing, and the mix of locals, tourists, kids and lovers made for a nice scene. Saguaro cactuses that took a century to grow their limbs sat near palm trees planted the past

five years to give the spot a little tropical-desert flavor. It was my favourite spot from the trip and one where I would like to spend more time. We finished the night at the One & Only Palmilla, a secluded, sedate luxury spot. I couldn’t afford to spend the night, but dinner was a splurge worth

getting, to see the place close-up. We were walked from our car to the restaurant by a staffer—more to protect guests from us, it seemed, than to protect us from whatever might be out there in the night. Lanterns everywhere gave a golden glow to the leafy grounds. At the restaurant, the bar’s ceiling was hung with a collection of large lamps of red, brown, green and yellow glass that gave a soft brilliance to the room. We sat outside overlooking the ocean as it disappeared into the inky black night. Waiters brought blankets to drape over the bare shoulders of guests in evening dresses. I ordered a Chilean salmon that was medium rare in the middle but with a crunchy skin on the top. The seafood enchiladas were an eclectic take on the local roadside favourite. Finally, came a tiny cup with the best espresso I had on the trip. The next afternoon we hiked out of the Westin to the parking lot and drove off for an early lunch at another legendary luxury

outpost, the sun-bleached white stucco world of Las Ventanas al Paraiso. My pupils were dilating rapidly as I shifted my eyes from the shady patio to eat my calamari and then looked out at the white sand beach and blue ocean. While I preferred the cool, leafy Palmilla, it’s easy to see why sun lovers would want to head to Las Ventanas. Going from the lulling world of the Zona Turistica straight into the maelstrom of partytown Cabo would likely strip my mental gears. As a halfway house, I booked a night at The Bungalows, a lovely, large B&B in the hills above town. On the way, we stopped at Gardenias, a legendary taco shop on a side street off the harbor. The battered fish and shrimp tacos are the specialties, with eight containers of sauces, guacamole and garnishes to make your own concoction. Marlins hung on the wall, along with pictures of fishermen and an ancient sun-faded cover of

Sports Illustrated signed by San Diego Chargers Hall of Fame wide receiver Lance Alworth. The Bungalows’ twobedroom unit had a small kitchen and refrigerator. Outside was a pretty, tracthouse-size swimming pool. Down the hill, on the

edge of downtown near the plaza, I discovered Cabo Coffee. The sign says “Death Before Decaf.” It becomes my boost spot for the rest of the trip, a spot to get a strong, thick espresso in a town with more than its share of watered-down coffee. In the end, The Bun-

galows was my favourite place to stay: comfortable but relatively inexpensive, close but not within the Cabo party zone, an oasis of Mexican hospitality in a town built on stacks of timeshares. Gary A. Warner is a travel reporter for The Orange County Register.

Cheer on voyageur paddlers for their Okanagan trek I t’s hard to imagine what is must have been like in the late

1700s exploring the major rivers of North America and creating maps of

the country from a voyageur canoe. But that image has resonated with hundreds of outdoors people who have followed in the paddle strokes of fur trader and explorer David Thompson in recent years, re-creating his routes over land and water that has changed much in the centuries since he first dipped his paddle. And, some 200 of those enthusiastic paddlers will be converging here Sunday to begin a week-long adventure exploring the lakes of the Okanagan Valley, from Vernon to Okanagan Falls, roughly following the fur brigade route carved out by Thompson a couple of hundred years ago. What a way to bring history alive: to view the shoreline from a vantage point at water level, between paddle strokes, just as the greatest land geographer of all time did! It’s an ø adventure that drew a geographer friend of mine to enter the Columbia River in

REGIONAL D ISTRICT NEWS 1450 K.L.O. Road, Kelowna, B.C. V1W 3Z4 • 763-4918 • Fax 763-0606 • www.regionaldistrict.com REGIONAL BOARD HIGHLIGHTS – AUGUST 2012 Regionally Significant Gas Tax Fund Projects The Regional Board has approved submitting three Regionally Significant projects to the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) for consideration and approval through the Central Okanagan share of Gas Tax Funding. The Board proposes spending $317,969 to upgrade and provide a backup centrifuge at the Regional facility that treats septic tank waste; $150,000 for a Regional Household Travel Survey and Analysis and $38,000 to review and update the Regional Air Quality Management Plan. Zoning Bylaw No. 871 Amended The Regional Board has adopted amendments to the Regional District Zoning Bylaw No. 871. Among the changes to the bylaw are clarification of the intent of prohibited uses, bed and breakfast accommodation regulations, and the permitted area to be used for ‘Home Based Business – Major’ and ‘Home Based Business in an Agricultural Zone’. July Building Statistics During July, Development Services approved 19 building permits for a construction projects valued at $1,442,000 in the Central Okanagan East and Central Okanagan West Electoral Areas. That compares with 16 permits issued in July 2011 for projects valued at $587,440.

TRAIL MIX

Judie Steeves the Canal Flats area last summer in a 24-foot canoe for the six-week 2011 Columbia Brigade, following Thompson’s route exploring the river from its headwaters in what is now B.C., to its meeting with the Pacific Ocean in southern Oregon, exactly 200 years after Thompson had. Cor Zandbergen is another enthusiast who has lived in Vernon for the past 20 years and had never even stepped into a canoe until he joined a similar brigade journey in 2006, again following in the wake of the famous explorer. He describes the inner peace he found paddling and the self-fulfillment of the trip; the wonder to discover the ability within himself to take on such a challenge and master it. It is as a result of his

decision in 2006 that today’s Brigade Trails to Wine Trails has been organized through the Okanagan, beginning Sunday at the historic O’Keefe Ranch at the head of Okanagan Lake. You too can help bring our history to life just by watching as these 16 huge canoes with their crews of more than a half-dozen paddlers skim along the lake next week, or by meeting and greeting the paddlers at their many stops along the way. They hail from as far away as Hawaii, Oregon and Ontario, as well as much nearer to home and they’d be delighted to have you join in their enthusiasm for such a historic journey. Even a seventh generation descendant of David Thompson will be participating as a paddler in the trip. Cor admits when he began organizing this trip that he didn’t realize there was even a fur brigade trail that snaked its way through the Okanagan Valley, along Okanagan Lake, nor that last year was its 200th anniversary.

But he wanted to combine a history tour of the valley with the wine tourism that fascinates so many, with an emphasis on the beauty of this area, and his dream has resulted in an influx of hundreds of visitors who will enjoy our bounty next week as family and friends follow on land the progress of their loved ones paddling the lakes. Locally, the paddlers will include Wayne Wilson, former executive-director of the Kelowna Museum, who paddled the Columbia River with the brigade last year with a team who call themselves the Red Rogues; and winemaker Leo Gebert of St. Hubertus Estate Winery, who will host the multitude of tents at his Mission-area winery on Wednesday, and join them in a canoe whenever his work in the vineyard permits. Leo kayaks with his family, but has never been in one of the big voyageur canoes, as part of a team moving the craft along by working in unison, so he’s looking forward to his practice runs Sunday at

the head of the lake. From his experience paddling a kayak, Leo says from that perspective, you become acutely aware of what we have done to our natural shoreline—there’s very little of it left around here. Which is all the more reason to divert our visitors’ attention away from what we’ve done with docks and walls and boathouses and dredging, by lining the shore with waving hands and cheers through Kelowna on Wednesday. First there’ll be a stop at Sutherland Bay’s park at 10 a.m. for an hour’s break and crew change; after a night spent at the Okanagan Centre Museum. From Sutherland Bay, they’ll paddle along Kelowna’s waterfront from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. when they dock at Cedar Creek Park, below St. Hubertus. They’ll be paddling through Lake Country Monday on Kalamalka Lake, stopping at local parks such as Beasely/ Reiswig, Kaloya, Kekuli Bay and Kal Beach and Tuesday, they’ll launch their canoes in Okanagan Lake, stopping at Komasket Park, Cst. Evely and then Fintry Provincial Park Tuesday morning, leaving at noon to head across the lake to Okanagan Centre. Thursday morning you can catch them at Peachland at 10 a.m. for a Metis welcoming ceremony, and greetings from the Peachland Historical Society. Then the group heads down to Okanagan Lake Provincial Park, where they’ll stop from 11 a.m. to 12:30, then on to Summerland and overnight at Naramata. Friday they head to Penticton, then into Skaha Lake to complete their trek at Okanagan Falls with a salmon feast Friday evening. So, take the family down to greet them or wave as they pass bay and cheer. Talk to the kids about explorer David Thompson and how he created the maps of B.C. we still use today; and about the changes we’ve made to the landscape in the 200 years since Thompson and his crew explored the Okanagan— both the good and the bad. It’s an opportunity to apologize for some of what we’ve done to the natural landscape and to resolve together to help to manage our natural resources better in future. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Robbery weapon, cash recovered The weapon allegedly used by the suspect in an armed robbery Tuesday afternoon of the Orchard Plaza Royal Bank has been recovered along with the stolen cash. On Aug. 21 at 4:15 p.m., the Kelowna RCMP responded to an armed robbery call from the bank branch, located at 1840 Cooper Rd. in Kelowna. According to witnesses, the suspect produced what appeared to be a handgun and demanded money. The man fled the scene on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash. Thanks to the help of a couple of keen witnesses, police were able to quickly track down the suspect, make the arrest and recover both the weapon and the stolen money.

ENTERTAINMENT ▼ CIRQUE DU SOLEIL

Quidam a dark world that includes familiar antics from cast riddle as the father appears, head stuck motionless in the newspaper, his wife dragging along by his side. Quidam is the ninth Cirque du Soleil production. Launched in 1996, it has been seen by millions and requires hundreds of hands to pull together. Each time Cirque rolls through town 100 new crew are hired locally to recreate Zoe’s underworld, the stage itself taking 12 hours to

put up upon arrival though still comes across as quite stark and barren with minimal props and no imagery. Yet, Quidam is a world that skips. Small acrobats swing around the stage like ropes and Double Dutch acts layer into maypole weaving and Ferris wheel-like images with a pair of soloists whipping Zoé’s imagination into a frenzy with their agility. By the time the aerial

hoops blow in, one’s mind is used to spinning almost as hard as the sound crew’s heads are used to banging—these are people who clearly love what they do. Quidam plays this afternoon, tonight (Friday, Aug. 23), two shows Saturday and two shows Sunday. Tickets are still available at Select Your Tickets, www.selectyourtickets.com. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

REHEARSING for their Kelowna show, members of Cirque du Soleil’s Quidam polish thier jump rope routine. FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

Quidam explores how a child copes with a dysfunctional family —a self-absorbed father and dejected mother Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

One avoids the target on their back, but shops at Target for a fabulous deal; hits the target at practice, and sets the target to achieve great things. But few little girls find themselves navigating a dark and mysterious imaginary circus with a companion named Target darting about to brighten the day. This is how we find Zoé, the pint-sized creator of the Cirque du Soleil’s Quidam, a magical world centred around a headless no-man/everyman of the same name. The Central Okanagan is enjoying eight days of

life in Quidam, which began Wednesday. On their third tour through the area in recent years, the Cirque du Soleil characters treated audiences to an opening night as eerie as it was wondrous and as laughout-loud funny as deathdefying. Famed for pulling audience members from the crowd, the performers found the perfect sidekick for their debut Kelowna performance in a young woman who seemed to have mime in her soul. Never offended by the date with a clown she found herself dragged into, performer and victim kibitzed on stage like a well-oiled machine, even

Bashful and feigning innocence as the imaginary car proceeded to come apart in her hands, this unsung hero added exactly the light, upbeat touch the evening needed under the skilled guidance of the circus performers and their stunningly timed live band. Quidam is not a barrel of laughs, for the most part. Crafted to explore how a child copes with a dysfunctional family—a self-absorbed father and dejected mother—it includes an androgynous aerial contortionist de-

MOTORING Grand Cherokee’s evil twin pumps up the power Neil Moore CONTRIBUTOR

It’s a 5,000-pound, gas-guzzling torque monster, about as popular with green motorists as a Class A motorhome. Sure, its siblings are powered by a reasonably fuel-efficient Pentastar V6, but not this bad boy. Under the hood you’ll find the legendary Hemi V8 engine—in its thirstiest form. Indeed the SRT8, which starts at $55,395, may be a pricey, impractical and perhaps irresponsible take on Jeep’s popular Grand Cherokee SUV, but despite these negatives, and the pain I felt at the gas pump, it was hard giving back the keys after a week of testing. It can be fun embracing the dark side. Star Wars analogies aside, even the look of the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is borderline sinister. The styling isn’t radically different from less potent models, but certain cues suggest it’s not your typical family hauler. The SRT8 starts with a more muscular, planted

look, having been lowered an inch and adorned with SRT-exclusive body-coloured wheel flares and side sills. The monochromatic exterior continues with a one-piece fascia with new LED daytime running lamps and the bodycoloured grille with black mesh accented by chrome bezel inserts. The lower grille is also painted gloss black. The sculpted hood gets a couple of functional black heat extractors, and in rear there’s a one-piece black fascia with separate air diffuser. Big, four-inch exhaust tips flank the diffuser, rather than being centre-mounted as before. As my tester was also dipped in black, the only flourishes of colour were the taillights and the redpainted Brembo brake callipers (six piston in front, four-piston in rear) peeking out from within the split five-spoke, 20-inch forged aluminum wheels, shod with big rubber. Indeed, the Grand Cherokee SRT8 looks See Jeep B2

CONTRIBUTED

THE BLACK EXTERIOR of this 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, with its one-piece fascia, body-coloured grille with black mesh, and gloss black lower grill makes a sinister first impression. Beneath its sculpted hood with black heat extractors, lurks a 6.4-litre Hemi V8 that delivers 470 hp and 465 lb/ft of torque.

able cylinder management (VCM), which during light cruising can shut down four cylinders, and a new active valve exhaust system that can improve highway fuel economy by 13 per cent. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bet it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get much use. Fuel saver technology is nice, but in this vehicle, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit like ordering a

diet coke to wash down your triple bacon cheeseburger. Helping route all that power to the pavement is a new SRT-tuned, adaptive damping suspension managed by the new Selec-Track 4x4 system. This works with a load of tech that include stability control, adaptive damping, transmission mapping, transfer case torque proportioning, electronic limited slip differential, throttle control and cylinder de-activation to automatically tune the driving dynamics. A five-position dial allows drivers to choose the appropriate setting, with Auto, which provides the smoothest, most compliant ride (thanks to the adaptive suspension), probably the best choice for daily driving. Auto even upshifts automatically with the paddles and autostick, so if you want more control, choose the Sport or Track settings. In manual mode, neither of these will upshift until you do, gear changes are delayed and noticeably quicker. Sport also tightens the

Like Sport, this setting provides a rear bias in the 4x4 system, with torque split 35/65 between front and rear. Tow mode reduces pitch and bounce for safer hauling, and modifies

the shift schedule for less â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;busynessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the transmission. And Snow mode provides gentler starts, as it begins in second gear, with the system programmed for reduced wheelspin.

Dual exhaust pipes channel the beast Jeep from B2 The bellowing from its dual exhausts is just icing on the cake. Despite its 2,336 kg (5,150 lb) curb weight, the Cherokee SRT8 will bolt from zero to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds, and do the quarter mile in the mid-13s. Braking is no less impressive, as the Brembos clamp down on its big 15inch vented discs in front (13.78-inch in rear), taking the sport ute from 60 mph to full stop in 116 feet. Although this is a tall vehicle, with a commanding view of the road, the SRT8 corners like a sports sedan—capable of .90 g on the skid pad. Ride is tight, but not harsh, and the steering is nicely weighted with plenty of feel. Standard content includes carbon fibre accents; Nappa leatherfaced seats with suede perforated inserts (heated and vented in front, heated in rear); heated/power tilt/telescoping steeringwheel with audio controls; keyless entry with pushbutton start; backup camera and rear parking sensors. Mine also had the Luxury Group, which included power liftgate, adaptive speed control, forward collision warning, blind spot monitoring and rear cross path detection, and more leather trim inside. Fuel economy, however, is less than stellar, rated at 17.1/11.4 litres/100 km (city/hwy). I managed just over 18 litres combined. Indeed, the SRT8

Cherokee won’t be copping any EnerGuide awards, and if everybody drove one, the nation’s fuel supply may be sucked dry within a week. But this is really a niche vehicle. And while some purists believe that in the Grand Cherokee SRT8, Jeep has lost its way, I would heartily disagree. Consider the M version of the BMW X5 (555 hp, $98,300), Porsche Cayenne Turbo (500 hp, $121,900) and the Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG (518 hp, $99,900). If we can build an asphalt-ripping, hot rod SUV for the well-heeled, why not one for the rest of us?

out of the driveway, motoring away with that classic scooter drone. And, for just a second, I felt like Larry Crowne. Granted, you’d have to squint pretty hard to mistake the two of us for Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. And you’d have to be even more nearsighted to confuse this very modern scooter with the 80s-era Riva that Hanks rode in the movie. Sure, they’re both Yamaha branded, but they are 30 years and a world apart in style, performance and technology. The TMAX fits into the maxi-scooter class and its half-litre engine performance, feral face and sporty lines were designed to blur the differences between scooters and motorcycles. The TMAX takes its styling cues directly from Yamaha’s sport bike lineup and even shares some bits and pieces from their parts bins. It’s always been a highway-capable performer that will match many motorcycles with initial off-the-line acceleration. Bike-like components include a lightweight aluminum frame, large 43 mm forks, an adjustable windscreen, biggish 15inch wheels and R6-inspired brakes.

For 2012, the new third generation TMAX gets a major makeover. Engine cylinders have been bored out an additional 2 mm, bumping displacement up by 30cc to 530cc. As a result, power is up by 3 hp to 46 hp, and torque increases by 10 percent to a 39 lb/ft peak at a lower 5250 rpm. A larger 34 mm Mikuni throttle body (up from 31 mm), a new airbox, and redesigned radiator are just a few of the higher performance tweaks. Complementing the power increase, a new aluminum swingarm contributes to a 4 kg overall weight reduction. And all those performance accents blend nicely with the TMAX’s get-on-andgo scooter attributes— the CVT automatic transmission, the low centre of gravity nimble ride and handling, and the large cushy two-person seat with underseat storage. The last time we tested a TMAX, its userfriendly ambiance encouraged a downtown trip to the market, and we decided to repeat the adven-

MOTORING Yamaha from B4 ture with the new 2012 model. Squeeze either of the brake levers, thumb the starter and the engine awakens instantly. The right-hand lever brakes the front wheel, the left-hand side stops the rear, and there is a parking brake lever on the underside of the left grip as well. Actually, your left hand on the brake lever does the same job that your right foot does on a motorcycle, squeezing on a little back brake as a steadying influence in low speed maneuvering, or to simply smooth the jerk of takeoff when the light turns green. And it’s good to teach your left hand these new tricks because, every once

in a while, when you’re accelerating away, old habits and muscle memories kick in and your hand starts to grope for a non-existent clutch and upshift. Which is not a good thing when that lever operates a brake. You get over it soon enough. And after a short while you might even find yourself marveling at motorcycle silliness and its antiquated dance of four-limb shifting and braking. The TMAX made short work of our urban commute. The perky engine, improved brakes and agile road manners seemed meant for the cut and thrust of downtown driving, yet we felt no hesitation at ramping onto highway stretches for speeds of 120 km/h or

higher. We earned a 4.7L/100km fuel economy average on our twoup trek and I cut that to 4.4L/100km combined average on later solo rides, giving me a range of about 340 km on the 15-litre tank. The new five-spoke aluminum wheels rolled across streetcar tracks easily and handled the bumps better than the smaller rubber donuts of lesser scooters. The illuminated underseat storage is not as big as others in its class but it swallowed one full-face helmet while we shopped and held two bags of groceries for our return. The newly designed, multi-function instrumentation panel ‘provides a sense of depth and a 3D feeling in according to the company bumpf. Frankly, I’d send them back to the drawing board for another try, and ask them to work on some of the flimsy interior fairing plastics while they’re at it. But the cockpit components work well enough. The analogue speedo and tachometer surround a digital readout for dual tripmeters, clock, temp gauge, fuel gauge

and fuel tripmeter. All-new functions for 2012 include outside air temperature, V-belt and oil maintenance indicators, plus average and instantaneous fuel consumption numbers. The Yamaha TMAX is the number one seller in its segment in Europe. Here in Canada, maxiscooters are a harder sell due to both climate and conservative biker biases, but an aging rider population makes them an increasingly viable option. You will see a lot of them on popular ride routes and even on crosscountry tours, usually outfitted with Yamaha’s optional top cases (39-litre for $210.95 or the 50-litre for $279.95). As far as competitors go, Honda does not offer the Silver Wing in Canada but consumers can consider Suzuki’s Burgman lineup and the new upscale BMW models. But really, you don’t have to look any further than the TMAX for an able blend of sport design and scooter friendliness, and a viable alternative for riders who are brave enough to break with convention and embrace a kind of light-hearted

practicality. It’s a fun ride. And I think we looked pretty good on the handsome, white TMAX. We certainly looked fast. Tom Hanks, eat your heart out.

MOTORING â&#x2013;ź ROAD TEST

The shocking truth about Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Electric Focus Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to put up or shut up about electric cars. I admit I am a skeptic about pure electric cars as the road to the future. In certain circumstances such as dense inner city environmentsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;yes; but in the real world of regular daily commutes ĂŁ no. Tested here is the 2012 Ford Focus Electric or more properly BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle), which is just like any other Focus except there is no engine, gas tank and zero, and I mean zero, emissions. Outwardly, it is identical to a standard Focus and so is most of the stan-

dard equipment. Instead of an engine and gas tank, it has a 107kW electric motor and a 23-kWh lithium-ion battery and a 6.6 kW onboard charger. The battery is both heated and cooled to cope with weather extremes. Ford in Michigan makes the battery in partnership with LG Chem. Together, power is rated at 143 hp and 184 lb/ft of torque. Ford claims it has a range of up to 160 km and top speed is 136 km/h with a one-speed transmission driving the front wheels. It comes equipped with a special hand-held five-prong plug and a 10foot electric cord with a grounded three-prong

port activates a light ring that illuminates the port twice when plugged in. Each quadrant represents 25 per cent of the maximum battery charge. Flashing quadrants represent charge in progress and solid-lit quadrants show stages of charge completion. The Electric was delivered to my home on a flatbed truck, a rather dubious beginning to this

road test, the rationale being it was fully charged and ready to go as a courtesy. The most obvious change inside for the driver is the main instrument cluster with a depiction of the battery to the left of the centre speedo showing Full at the top and Empty at the bottom. As power is consumed, the level goes down and shows roughly how many kilometres

remain based on the way the car is being driven at the time. You can add kms by braking and, as I was to find out, by coasting downhill. The big issue with pure electric cars is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;range anxietyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which simply means do I have enough juice to make it to where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going or will I be stranded in the middle of a busy street or the middle of nowhere? The other issue is charge time. On at standard 110-volt system 12 hours or more is common. Ford does offer a 240volt charging station that

is claimed to lower the charge time to something like four hours but costs $1,599 and has to be installed by the Geek Squad from Best Buy. On my first trip around town I covered 80.1 km and used 12.7 kW. The display showed the battery down about 40 per cent. According to the supplementary readout, it was going to take 8.1 hours to recharge. Plugging in inside our garage at 8 p.m. to take advantage of off-peak power rates, the blue ring See Ford B8

lane highways averaging about 70 to 80 km/h which was the rate of the flow of traffic. With 71 km remaining, I decided to turn around and return. It all looked pretty good until I entered a town half way home while showing 58 km left in the battery. To my horror, I realized I was probably still about 45 to 50 km away from my garage. The longer you brake, not how hard, puts more regenerative power in the battery. I was recapturing one to two km this way

but it still looked like it was going to be close. Being in a hilly moraine region, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d gingerly accelerate up hills and then coast down the other side. This was good for another one to two km. I probably irked a lot of drivers behind me but it sure worked. By the time I got home there was still 21 km in the battery. The big lesson I learned here was not just to be realistic about range but to constantly practise battery regeneration tactics and make it an art. My combined total

driving that day was 124.0 km. But I was shocked to see the summary readout say it was going to take 18.9 hours to recharge. I plugged in at 8 p.m. and at 8 a.m. the next day three quadrants were solid and the fourth was flashing. I had to go out and when I came back six hours later, it was all topped up. I quesstimate it took about 13 to 14 hours to fully charge. Total ground covered See Ford B9

Still a way to go for all-electric cars to be realistic in Canada Ford from B8

in both trips was 204.1 km with 29.9 kW used over a total of 4:11.56 hours used. Because hydro rates are different depending on where you live, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll let you do the math. On top of that is the Canadian price of $41,199. Provincial re-

bates of up to $8,500 in Ontario, $8,000 in Quebec and $6,000 in B.C. lower the price to $32,696, $33,199 and $36,199 respectively. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still pretty pricey for a car that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get you realistically beyond 130 to 140 km in 24 hours. The charging station isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cheap either but

it sure makes sense if it cuts charging times dramatically. On the other hand, judicious use makes the Ford Focus Electric a practical family car that never needs to see a fuel pump again. With fuel costs ever rising, that attribute alone makes the Focus Electric

compact hatchback. Drive Method: front electric motor, front wheel drive. Engine: 107-kW electric motor and a 23kWh lithium-ion battery

a viable motive alternative and me much less skeptical.

Bringing a little sunshine indoors As heartbreaking as it may be to store away the patio furniture and citronella candles for the winter, there’s a lot to be excited about when it comes to moving entertaining indoors. Take this opportunity to breathe new life into the spaces you’ve neglected during the summer months. You can make a successful transition from outdoor living to embracing and reviving your indoor spaces with these simple tips: Create stunning and simple centrepieces using late-blooming fall flowers like mums, sunflowers, and black-eyed susans for an elegant, vibrant touch that takes no time, and very little money. If your budget allows, consider replacing your dining room table. “Because it’s often the biggest piece of furniture in a dining space, replacing your dining room table can immediately change the whole look and feel of the room,” said Meredith Heron, interior designer and blogger at meredithheron. com. “A table that can be extended to fit a larger crowd is a great investment. “You won’t regret it once you’re hosting the entire family for a traditional

Thanksgiving dinner.” A simple bowl of fruit is a quick way to add the drama of bright colour to any kitchen space. Lemons, limes, oranges, or any other colourful fruit will immediately inject some personality into the space. Even better, by using what’s currently in season, you’ll never have to commit to one particular hue, so you can change the accent colour in a snap. Showcase your cocktail making skills while keeping out of the chef’s way with a separate faucet from deltafaucet.ca, such as the Addison bar prep faucet with Touch2O Technology. Choosing a stylish faucet with a pulldown wand will add not only a touch of elegance to your kitchen, but will provide a quick update as well as added functionality, ideal when entertaining thirsty guests. Blankets and throws not only pull the look of your room together, but are functional too. Consider taking them outside to snuggle up and gaze at the stars on those wonderful fall evenings when it’s still comfortable enough to enjoy the great outdoors.

THERE ARE many simple ways to revive and embrace the indoor spaces of a home.

W OF PRIME INTEREST

What to think about when financing your home If you’re like most Canadians, your home is probably the most important investment you’ll ever make. Whether you are buying a home or refinancing your existing home, making the right decision now can help save you money and provide greater financial stability for your family in the future. To help make an informed decision, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation has offered some tips on what to think about when obtaining a mortgage. Calculate, in advance, how much home you can afford. The maximum mortgage you can afford must also take into account your household income, the down payment, other debt pay-

ments and major tax and other monthly house-related expenses. Consider seeking a smaller mortgage than the maximum amount you can afford. Your future financial picture may not be the same later on as it is today. By taking on a smaller mortgage, you will gain the flexibility and peace of mind to manage your other obligations today and deal with any unforeseen events that might occur in the future. Evaluate the impact rising interest rates could have on your monthly payment. For many homeowners, a rise in interest rates could have a significant impact on their housing costs. For example, if you are renewing a mortgage of $250,000, an increase of just two per cent

in the interest rate could cost you around $300 extra each month. Become mortgage free faster by reducing your amortization period. On a mortgage of $250,000, choosing a 25-year instead of a 35-year amortization period will increase your monthly payments by about $200, but will also save you in the neighborhood of $90,000 in interest over the life of the mortgage as well as pay down the mortgage 10 years sooner. Choosing an accelerated payment option (equivalent to one extra payment per year), making lump sum payments or increasing your regular payment amount all contribute to reducing your amortization period. For example, making one ex-

tra payment per year on your 35 year mortgage will make you mortgage free six months sooner. Other factors come into play with your decision include what your plans are for the next few years, stability of your job and wages and if you plan to have children. Of Prime Interest is contributed by mortgage broker professionals Darwyn Sloat, 250-7184117, dsloat@kelownahomemortgages.ca; Arlyne Wilson, 250-862-1818, awilson@lenderapproved.ca; Trish Balaberde, 250-470-8324; trishb@kelownahomemortgages.ca; and Kristin Rosdal, 250-878-3007, kristin@ kelownahomemortgages.ca.

midst the constant REAL ESTATE grind of the real estate market and RUNDOWN waffling economy, there is a flourishing development located in Kelowna’s beautiful Upper Mission known as Trumpeter Ceinwen Ridge Estates. Morgan Located just pass the popular Summerhill Winery that overlooks our iconic Okanagan Lake is where you’ll find the 2011 PNE Prize Home along with a variety of stunning single family homes on lots ranging from .16 to .25 of an acre in size. Proudly marketing Trumpeter Ridge Estates are Walter Grapentin and Shane Dorey, both with ReMax Kelowna. Combined, the two realtors have 18 years of real estate experience and six years experience with this development. Over that time, Grapentin and Dorey have sold 41 out of the 52 lots of the Trumpeter Ridge Phases 1 and 2, and will now start selling Phase 3 lots, said to be coming on the market in the summer of 2013. Trumpeter Ridge offers competitive pricing with lots as low as $199,000. The development also offers flexible builder terms which allow you to bring your own builder to this exclusive community and for up to two years to build. I asked Grapentin what makes Trumpeter Ridge great in his opinion. “It’s the exceptional lake, orchard and vineyard views located in Upper Mission,” he replied. “Where else can you find all of that for such a great price?” Trumpeter Ridge, not only offers great price point and quality lots, but offers a friendly warm community where you’ll want to raise your family and can visualize your children riding their bicycles up and down their neighbourhood street, create memories with family and friends or simply take in the golden view of the Okanagan Valley from the deck of your newly built home. Asked if he would choose to live in Trumpeter Ridge Estates, Dorey replied: “Absolutely. This development offers the best of both worlds—just a short drive to town, outstanding lake views and great people.” To serve you better and keep you informed with this development, Dorey and Grapentin will be available at the Trumpeter Ridge showhome, 373 Trumpeter Crt., on Wednesday to Sunday, 1 to 4 p.m., starting next week. Ceinwen Morgan has worked in the Kelowna real estate industry for the past five years.
