City urged to market cycling trails Steve Kidd
Western News Staff
Joe Fries
The City of Penticton isn’t doing enough to market the cycling potential of the area, according to its economic development officer. Penticton doesn’t need to create new trails in order to take advantage of economic activity from biking, Colleen Pennington told council in a committee of the whole meeting Monday. “We already have a lot of resources, whether it is terrain or resources or activity going on,” said Pennington. “What is missing to a large extent is the marketing.” Pointing to studies showing cycling as a growing trend, Pennington said that was nothing new for Penticton “We’ve always been home to a lot of biking,” she said, explaining that cycling is becoming incredibly popular and as a tourism industry, has “an extremely high demographic in terms of income.” “They are more than willing to come, more than willing to spend money, both on weekend get-aways, and on destinations,” she said. “This represents a tremendous opportunity for us within the South Okanagan.” Penticton has been a beach-centric destination for years, she said. That is only a few months of a tourism season, but cycling tourism could spread to eight months of the year, and even year-round for diehard cycling fans. Whistler, one of the leaders in cycling tourism, estimates that the industry is worth $30 million to their community. “We have lots of potential with what we already have,” said Pennington, adding that Penticton is not positioned as strongly as it could be to take advantage of existing trails. “We haven’t been aggressive about showcasing the resources that we have,” she said. “It fits so beautifully in terms of economic potential for attracting travellers.” Laura Harp of the Penticton and Area Cy-

cling Association, thinks it needs to take one step back, to ensuring access to trail areas. “I think that is why we haven’t developed to the potential we could,” she said. She points to the club’s growth as an indicator of the increasing popularity of the sport of cycling. “It’s just growing hugely. Last year, I think we were at 39 and we are up to 85,” said Harp. PACA signed a license-to-use agreement last year for 330 city-owned acres of land at the end of Riddle Road in Naramata, securing access to the Three Blind Mice trail network area. Harp told council they were also trying to reach an agreement with the province for the crown land containing the trail network, so they could maintain and improve it.
Council agreed to provide a letter of support for the PACA application and also directed staff to review and report back to council on the group’s request for a non-exclusive licence to access, build and maintain trails in another popular cycling area on Campbell Mountain. Harp agreed that cycling should be given more attention by the city, but cautioned the focus shouldn’t be just on road cycling. “Triathlon and road cycling capture a lot of attention, deservedly so, but we also have incredible mountain biking terrain that requires very little infrastructure,” she said. “It really is a natural community asset that should be recognized as such, and protected and promoted.”
Non-profit sees opportunity in recycling old wood Joe Fries
Western News Staff
Hoping to put more old wood to new use, a fledgling non-profit has asked a local government for permission to scavenge from its landfills. The organizers behind Waste Knot plan to round up unwanted wood, spruce it up as needed, then sell it from a retail location in Penticton. “We’re hoping that the community gets behind this and helps us out,” Deb Thorneycroft last week told the board of the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen. Thorneycroft is a member of the Okanagan Upcycle ReSource Society, which will operate Waste Knot.
Doctors have gone quiet
She noted that nearly 25,000 tonnes of wood was chipped at Campbell Mountain and Okanagan Falls landfills in 2012, some of which could have likely been salvaged. She’s also hoping to collect product from local mills and contractors. “They often have a lot of smaller waste materials that can be reutilized for other purposes, rather than just being mulched or chipped,” Thorneycroft said. Besides reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills and helping people save money on wood, Waste Knot also hopes to offer jobs to clients of the Penticton and District Society for Community Living, who could assist with
collection and sorting and also do some value-added manufacturing by building birdhouses and other small items. Allan Patton, the RDOS director for rural Oliver, said Waste Knot could easily expand its mandate. “I could see a real use for some of your people to come to a property and do the demolition right there, and then go straight to your outlet, instead of having to go to the landfill site,” he said. Thorneycroft said the society intends to eventually purchase a truck and trailer to do just that. It also hopes to offer more than wood at its planned retail space at the PDSCL property on Industrial Avenue.
“There currently is no place to buy used building materials in the South Okanagan. You have to go all the way to Kelowna if you want to find a door or a sink or something like that,” said Thorneycroft. “So, yes, we’re definitely hoping to expand this.” RDOS staff members told the board they are working out the details of a partnership with Waste Knot and have already identified sites at the Okanagan Falls and Campbell Mountain landfills suitable for wood sorting and stockpiling. Thorneycroft said the society is waiting to nail down a deal with the RDOS before it officially rolls out its plans to the public.

Doctors have quieted down since leading a pair of rallies last year to pressure the B.C. government to fund construction of a new Penticton hospital tower. “It’s quiet because it’s moving ahead,” said Dr. David Paisley, president of the Penticton Medical Staff Society. What’s moving ahead is the business case the B.C. government called for to support its expected two-thirds share of the $300-million project. Paisley expects it could take up to a year for the government to approve funding once it has the business case in hand. He said doctors haven’t set a date after which they would revive the public campaign. However, the chief of staff at Penticton Regional Hospital suggested people may demand a deadline for funding approval earlier than a year out. Dr. Brad Raison said the business case should be done by the end of May, and sent for approval to Treasury Board before summer. “Being an amateur at politics, I suspect it should be approved very quickly with the amount of detail we’re putting in,” he said. The doctor noted Treasury Board meets at the call of the chair, so “I think that the community’s not going to accept ... if there’s some delay because they are not meeting.” Raison said he’s anxious to get past the planning stage and obtain a government cash commitment, but trusts the long development of a detailed business case, green-lighted by the premier 13 months ago, was a necessary hurdle. “My estimate is that the people involved in it, both at (Interior Health) and at the ministry level, do want to get it done. You and I might say, ‘Well, just do it,’ but they say, ‘No, we’ve got these processes to do,’” Raison said. “I have to take them at face value that what they’re telling me is true.” Penticton MLA Dan Ashton said he’s made sure his government knows it’s his city’s turn. “I’m not asking for anything else at this point in time from my peers in the sense that (the tower) is a very large project for our area, and an incredibly important project, and it’s my No. 1 priority,” said Ashton. “I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but the premier’s committed to it twice, the health minister’s committed to it, so my focus is on ensuring this hospital gets funded.”

Students say French entrepreneurs key to local economy icton had and something we could sort of leverage going forward to attract more people,” said Blake Pridham, referring to the French immersion programs available through the school district and the city’s French language elementary school, École Entre Lacs. Those advantages, the team said, could form the basis for attracting new, younger families to the city, especially from Quebec, where another factor comes into play: entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship in Quebec is limited, said Pridham.

Penticton should be targeting young Frenchspeaking entrepreneurs to boost the local economy, according to a group of university students. The four students from UBC Okanagan spent the last three months preparing a consultant’s report for Penticton as their capstone project, and presented council with a report this week on their suggested strategy to draw younger families to the city. “We saw French as a unique position that Pent-
We saw French as a unique position that Penticton had and something we could sort of leverage going forward to attract more people. — Blake Pridham
Western Canada, however, leads the country, with 17 per cent of the entrepreneurial activity in
Canada. And Penticton, he continued, is home to a major entrepreneurial movement.
“The French programs in Penticton and the entrepreneurial growth can be leveraged and used as a marketing tactic for French-speaking families to relocate,” said Pridham. Kriz Mazey told council they should also focus on strengthening student exchange programs with Quebec to give younger people a taste of the city. “We would really like those younger people to come and experience Penticton and see what they have to offer,” said Mazey. Housing was also a key factor, according to Sharan Dhand, who told coun-
cil their study suggested Penticton should focus on subsidized housing for entrepreneurs and affordable housing alternatives like carriage houses. Mayor Garry Litke pointed out that the city already allows homeowners to create carriage houses, but admitted the city could do a better job letting people know that was a possibility. The report was wellreceived by council, including Coun. John Vassilaki who added he had been trying to get his granddaughter entered into pre-school at Entre Lacs.

Victims fight for rights Kristi Patton
Western News Staff
Donna Irwin, the sister of a Penticton woman killed by her common-law husband, said families need to continue to push for changes to victims rights. Lynn Kalmring was brutally murdered in the summer of 2011 when her common-law husband, and former RCMP officer, Keith Wiens shot her in the face with a handgun in their Penticton home. He was sentenced to life for second-degree murder and has to serve 13 years in prison before he can apply for parole. Irwin, is one of many family members left behind to stand up for her dead sister’s rights. Irwin believes there is still more work to be done, despite Prime Minister Stephen Harper announcing the introduction of legislation to create a Canadian Victims Bill of Rights last week. “We are starting to finally have a voice and we never had one. There is still a long way to go though,” Irwin said. “It is a big first step and we have to keep up the pressure. I just don’t want to be a victim anymore, I want to have a voice and help others. Something good has to come out of tragedies like this.” Irwin and the rest of Kalmring’s family have been fighting for justice and changes to the court system ever since she was killed. They collected signatures soliciting changes to victims rights and the bail proceedings system after Wiens was granted bail just a few weeks after being arrested. He eventually was put back behind bars for allegedly breaching his conditions. That matter is still before the courts. Their petition, Lynn’s Law, appeals for new restrictions on bail for violent crimes and other changes. It was read in the House of Commons by Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas in December of 2012. Their requests were not included in the latest proposed bill. The federal government held consultations over the past year during which victims of crime shared stories of their interactions with the criminal justice
system. The proposed legislation would create statutory rights for victims of crime, including a right to information about programs available to them, progress on the case relating to the investigation, prosecution and sentencing. “You are sort of left alone and you don’t know how this is goLynn Kalmring ing to happen,” said Irwin, adding her family was lucky to have such supportive victims’ services workers and Crown counsel. “If we have more rights, people won’t feel so alone when they have to go through something as horrific as this.” In the proposed bill, victims would also have the right to convey their views about decisions made by criminal justice professionals throughout the process and present a victim impact statement among other things. Irwin said her family was not allowed to read their victim impact statements at the sentencing. She still isn’t sure why. “That was taken away from us and they never really said why. We had them ready and we wanted to, it was going to be part of us talking to him. It would have given us a voice,” said Irwin. According to the prime minister, participants in the year-long consultations expressed a desire for victims of crime to be kept better informed and involved at every stage of the justice process and called for an increased understanding of the needs of victims. “Our government wants victims of crime across this country to know that we have listened to their concerns and that we are squarely on their side. Victims will have enforceable rights in Canada’s criminal justice system, will be treated with the respect and fairness that they deserve and will have a strong voice,” said Harper.
Facebook helps nab petty thief Kristi Patton
Western News Staff
Social media has helped a Penticton business owner nab a shoplifter less than three days after he posted security footage online. During the early morning hours on Sunday, two shoplifters were caught on the Smartshopper security camera stealing what owner Leigh Follestad figured was about $20 worth of energy drinks and chocolate bars. The items weren’t the biggest hit for the owner, it was the $1,000 that came out of his own pocket to repair the glass front door they broke to enter. “Through Facebook I was able to find out at least who one of the individuals was and with the help of RCMP I’ve made contact with that individual and decided to work through the restorative justice
process,” said Follestad. After posting the video on Facebook, Follestad said he had three tips within 48 hours and about 5,000 views on YouTube. Follestad contacted the suspect on Facebook
and the individual indicated they were wanting to go through restorative justice. “I didn’t do it to name names but just to make people aware of how easy it is to track them down” said
Follestad. “Hopefully anyone out there that is thinking of shoplifting or committing a crime will become more aware of what technology can do and have second thoughts,” said Follestad.

WONDERING ABOUT WOUNDS? Minor cuts and wounds can happen to anyone, anywhere. Although these things happen to all of us at some point, not everyone knows how to properly care for a minor injury. By the end of today’s article you will be ready to treat any small wound that comes your way. The first step in treating a wound is to clean it with soap and tap water to remove debris. Do not use hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol as they can be irritating and interfere with healing. Next, stop any bleeding by applying gentle pressure to the wound with a sterile pad or gauze. Bleeding should stop with 10 minutes of applied pressure; you should seek medical treatment if it doesn’t. After bleeding has stopped, remove any pieces of dirt or material that remains in the wound with tweezers cleaned with rubbing alcohol.
Lastly, cover the wound with a clean dressing. This dressing should be changed daily or more frequently if it appears dirty or damp. Dressings may be removed after 48 hours if the wound is healing well. As we can see, treatment of minor cuts and wounds is pretty straight forward. However, sometimes people experience complications including infection and scarring. Monitor for infection during dressing changes by watching for red, puffy areas that are tender to the touch, red streaks coming from the wound, throbbing pain in the area and pus discharge. Other signs of infection include fever, chills and tender lymph nodes. Infection merits a trip to your physician as antibiotics may be required. To minimize scarring, keep the wound moist to prevent scabbing and stretching of the new skin.

Vimy Ridge not on tap This week marks the 97th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. But the honour, deserved and due, to the Vimy Ridge veterans, all veterans in fact, lost its polish this week when Molson Coors decided to use the Vimy Ridge anniversary to launch a new beer as part of the memorial ceremonies held by veterans’ associations. The battle, against German infantry for control of Vimy Ridge, lasted all of four days, but more than 3,500 Canadian soldiers died and another 7,000 were wounded. However short, the Battle of Vimy Ridge is viewed as a defining moment for our young country as noted by Brig. General A. E. Ross, when he said, “In those few minutes, I witnessed the birth of a nation.” That pride, as well as the bravery of the soldiers who took part in the battle is immortalized in the Canadian National Vimy Memorial situated on Vimy Ridge. A fitting tribute. Supporting struggling veterans’ associations is to be applauded and encouraged, but to do so with the blatant advertising of a new product is a dishonour to the soldiers of Vimy Ridge and their memories. The veterans of the First World War are gone and unable to speak for themselves. It is up to us to stand up and say that the memory of theWESTERN our veterans should never be PENTICTON used as an advertising gimmick. If Molson-Coors truly wanted to help the veterans honour our fallen soldiers, they could simply and quietly offer to help the veterans’ associations, many of which are struggling.

A federal Ukraine might be the ticket Two things were clear after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s four hours of talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Paris last Sunday. One was that the United States accepts that nothing can be done about Russia’s annexation of Crimea. Kerry continues to describe Russia’s action as illegal and illegitimate, but Crimea was not even mentioned in the communique released to the public. The other is that the transformation of Ukraine into a neutral, federal state is now firmly on the table. Kerry repeatedly voiced the mantra that there must be “no decisions about Ukraine without Ukraine,” but he also agreed with Lavrov that the subjects that need to be discussed include rights for national minorities, language rights, the disarmament of irregular forces and a constitutional reform that would make Ukraine a federal state. By “rights for national minorities” and “language rights” he meant a special political status for Ukraine’s 17
per cent ethnic Russian minority and maybe even for the much larger number of Ukrainians – probably 40-45 per cent – who speak Russian on a daily basis. Moscow is asserting its right to intervene in Ukraine’s internal affairs to “protect” these minorities, and Kerry is at least willing to talk about it. By talking about federalizing Ukraine, Kerry was implicitly accepting that the Russian demand for a radical decentralization of the country (which could give proRussian governments in some eastern Ukrainian provinces a veto on decisions in Kiev) is a legitimate topic for negotiation. It’s no wonder that a satisfied Sergei Lavrov called the talks very very constructive, or that the Ukrainian foreign ministry spokesperson said Russia was demanding “Ukraine’s full capitulation, its split and the destruction of Ukrainian statehood.” And although Kerry promises “no decisions without Ukraine,” Kiev might not be able to reject American pressure to accept these concessions in its current

But the Russians are also pushing hard for a “federalized” Ukraine. “Given the proportion of native Russians in Ukraine,” said Gwynne Dyer Lavrov, “we propose Dyer Straits this and we are sure there is no other way.” gravely weakened state.

Meanwhile, the level of panic is rising in the eastern European members of NATO, and especially in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, which also have Russian minorities and border directly on the Russian Federation. Vladimir Putin, fresh from his Crimean victory, is seriously overplaying his hand. Poland and the three Baltic states are now pushing for permanent NATO military bases on their territory, something the alliance has avoided since they joined in order not to antagonize Moscow. A confidential NATO paper leaked to Der Spiegel even talks about boosting military cooperation with Moldova, Armenia and Azerbaijan, all former Soviet republics. The odds on a new Cold War have gone up quite a lot in the past week. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Summerland council not listening to residents I was utterly appalled at the way Monday’s Town Hall meeting in Summerland was conducted. This was in regards to the 200 acres of prime farmland council is proposing be removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve. People were under the impression they would have a chance to have actual dialogue with council. Writing a question on paper and having it read (or not read, as was most likely the case since I personally wrote approximately 10 questions and not one was read) is not most people’s idea of dialogue. There are two things that strike me especially hard. The first is that as councillors and our elected representatives, most of you are not listening to the people. It is so obvious that the majority of people in Summerland do not want this. And yet you continue to push this proposal forward, without allowing for actual dialogue. The second blow was the fact that you read only one question about the issue of food security amongst the dozens of questions chosen. This absolutely floored me. This is an issue that has been addressed repeatedly by members of the community, in letters to the editor, at the public hearing, in the numerous comments made by signatories of the Stop the Swap petition. In reference to the concerns expressed by the public at the hearing on March 3, the mayor herself even commented in the
Monkey see, monkey do
Monkey do what monkey see. I wonder if my memory is correct? The United States is crowing about a buildup of 40,000 Russian troops in the vicinity of Eastern Ukraine and along the coastline of the Sea of Azov. Does the United States still have about 30,000 troops in South Korea? Why isn’t there a protest and threatening attitude toward the U.S.? Why is it Uncle Sam has to poke his nose in a direction he truly believes he is always right instead of taking a hard look at cleaning up his own back yard? Uncle Sam is still a big part of a lingering problem that with his help there is no solution. Ted Azyan Osoyoos
CHAMP says thanks
I was born with a partial left hand and was enrolled in The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program when I was six months old. I have been a “Champ” ever since. On a recent weekend, I had the opportunity to attend The War Amps 2014 BC CHAMP Seminar in Victoria as a Junior Counsellor. Junior counsellors are representatives of The War Amps and role models for younger Champs as they too grow up in the CHAMP Program. I was able to help out with the seminar during the many sessions and talk to the parents of new child amputees. As a younger Champ, I always looked up to the Junior Counsellors, and I knew I wanted to be one as soon as I was old enough. They helped teach me everything from tying my shoes and putting up my hair to being proud of my amputation. This year was my second year
It is so obvious that the majority of people in Summerland do not want this. interview on Daybreak South (March 4,2 014) that “I think if I had to label the number one thing it was probably food preservation.” Surely she must have meant food security. In her presentation Monday she skimmed over this issue, as if it were completely irrelevant. I find this to be morally reprehensible when one considers the following quote from the CBC News (March 31, 2014): “The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has released a report on the global impact of climate change and
as a junior counsellor and I had so much fun! Being a junior counsellor is a great way for me to give back to CHAMP for the years of support they’ve given me. Growing up with CHAMP has helped me overcome obstacles, such as bullying, and helped me set the bar high by providing devices that let me take part in my favourite activities. As someone who has benefitted locally, I would like to thank all of you who support The War Amps key tag Service, which has made these programs possible for young amputees like me.

BC Lottery needs to change payouts
I see that BC Lottery Corp laid off 67 workers as revenue is down, so they say. So who can afford to keep buying tickets when they only reward one winner with $50 million instead of having numerous winners from the same draw? They need to give more people a chance. I bet the big bosses will still get the bonus check at year end, or will they be willing to take a pay cut or forget their bonuses? I wonder why we are not buying like we used to? Here is a good reason: our B.C. personal tax structure went up 9.5 per cent, MSP went up, ferry fares went up (seniors now have to pay). Hydro rates went up and are increasing in April again. Gas for vehicles has gone up (summer is here). Have you checked the price of groceries lately? Did your pension or your wages go up at all? Not that I can see. Now BCLC wants us to buy more tickets. Well they increased the price of the tickets, they give only one person the big money, instead of two
or three winners. They never give a car , a TV, a trip or any thing else to entice us and now they wonder why revenue is down. They need to give their heads a shake and listen to the people that buy the tickets. Doris de Grood Penticton
Not worried about Ebola
The scientific community is right away alarmed, when a tropical disease emerges on the southern halve of the globe. This alarm is totally unfounded since one cannot get sick if it is spring on the northern globe and late summer on the southern halve of the globe. If someone visits the region in the south and contracts Ebola for instance, than comes back to Canada where it is spring, his disease will quickly disappear. The reason for this is quite simple. Each disease, such as Ebola, Cholera, West Nile disease and Amtrak, requires a certain climate in and outside of the body, which is favourable, for a disease to flourish. Most tropical diseases occur, towards the fall in the tropics, when water is scarce. Beast and people use the same water source and so have to drink partially the excrements of the wildlife species. Each tropical disease will not over live the northern winter and needs to be imported every year new, if this disease supposed to take hold in our climate. Diseases, such as Typhoid occur mostly when there is a surplus of water such as large scale flooding, when creatures drown in the surplus water. If someone gets sick of Typhoid, it is because of the deadly poison that diseased creatures produce. This also can happen if lice, which have ingested the deadly poison
what it will mean for society in the future. The findings are based on the work of 309 authors in 70 countries and are billed as a “definitive report of the state of knowledge concerning climate-change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability. “Global Predictions: All aspects of food security will be potentially affected by climate change, including food access, utilization and price stability.” The mayor, on the other hand, has repeatedly dismissed any questions regarding climate change and food security as inconsequential. And I have not heard anyone else, except for Councillor Waterman, address this issue. This is my most heartfelt question to all of you that I sincerely hope you will give it serious consideration: Given the fact that the Agricultural Land Reserve was created in order to preserve and protect farmland for future generations, how can you, with a clear conscience, sacrifice this resource our grandchildren will need to feed themselves? I would like to hear a response from each of you. This is a moral responsibility that we all share. You have invited questions. I look forward to an honest response to this question, which carries a profound weight that cannot be ignored. Sheila Polito Summerland
from a corpse, jump from a dead body onto a living person. I am a firm believer in the four elements: earth, fire, water and air. In order to be healthy these elements need to be in proper proportions in the body. If there is a lack or surplus of these elements in and or outside the body, a person gets sick. A fungal disease grows in stagnant air, exercise to blow air into the body, will cure the disease. A skinny person is dry and an overweight person wet. For the skinny I recommend to exercise or work less and add water. An overweight person should fan the fire with exercise or heavy work, to add air and fire to the system. Well, I am not a doctor and I do not care what people think about my successions, but the remedies have served me well in my life. I know that I cannot afford to gain too much weight, so I try to keep the pounds in proper order, by keeping the groceries in check and march a bit more if necessary. Otto Sturhahn Penticton
You will be missed George
An open letter to George Little Dear George, So, what’s it like up there? Is all that stuff true about the angels, the puffy clouds and the long, white gowns? I’ve tried to imagine your interview with St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, as he asked you his questions. Little did he know you would be asking him your list of questions too! And once you gained admission, and you did earn your way in George, did you start making suggestions on how to change things? I have a feeling you quickly identified a few cost-saving measures and productivity improvements to share with the big guy or gal.
And it’s only a matter of time, I am sure, before you organize the more enlightened residents up there to highlight the gross miscarriage of justice in taxing your halos. In fact, I look forward to reading the press release announcing that you are leading a Heavenly Core Services Review. You left us too soon George. But not before making an indelible mark in the lives of countless people, of which I count myself as one. In admiration of a life well-lived, Mark T. Ziebarth Summerland

Following a bountiful first growing season, the group behind a unique community garden in Penticton is hoping to produce even more food — and green thumbs — this summer. Last year’s haul from the Salvation Army garden on Martin Street added up to about 550 kilograms, all of it lovingly raised by a group of 38 volunteers, said program co-ordinator Barb Stewart. “We’d wash it all up, bag it up right there, bring it in coolers to the food bank when the doors opened at 1 p.m., and by 1:30 p.m. the fresh produce was gone,” she said. “The people just loved it.” Besides giving away the veggies, including carrots, potatoes, eggplants, beans and mixed greens, the Salvation Army also sent some of the produce to its community kitchen, where food bank clients learn how to prepare healthy meals. “So when it comes full circle like that, with the produce coming into the kitchen and a lot of the same people being involved, then you’ve got nutrition education hands-on,” said Stewart. She is hoping a few more people will sign on to help this year. The current crops of volunteers ranges from young people, who want to learn how to grow food on their balconies, to veteran gardeners, who simply want to pass on their knowledge. Emmett Goose began helping out after taking
a college-level horticultural course that he wanted to supplement by raising plants in the real world. “Doing it with the Salvation Army just gave me more handson experience with it,” Goose said. Shy-Anne Kruger was drawn to the garden’s mission to give back. “The Salvation Army shares with the community, it shares with young people that are learning to garden, old people that have skills they can pass on,” she said. “It’s social development.” Production in the garden, which is owned by a medical research clinic that operates out of a building on the same property, is overseen by Carol Allen, president of the Penticton Community Garden Society. “We did a lot of improvements to the site last year, so it’s really intriguing to see what we’re going to be able to accomplish this year,” said Allen, whose society operates the larger community garden on Vancouver Hill. Stewart said that in addition to volunteer support, the Salvation Army garden has also received help from a variety of businesses, including Bartlett Tree Experts, Rona, P&E Lumber, West Coast Seeds, Boston Pizza, as well as the City of Penticton. “It’s just been absolutely amazing the community support for growing for the food bank,” she said.

Foundation doles out big cash Western News Staff
It’s a success story that benefits everyone. This year, the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan Similkameen awarded $223,000 in grants to charities throughout the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen, bringing its total granting to more than $1.5 million in its history. That’s a far cry from the $2,600 the CFSO was able to distribute to six organizations in 1994, its first grant year, money generated from the original investment of $200,000 donated by the founding donors, which included Penticton Rotary Club and the City of Penticton. Today, the foundation grants come from earnings on investments of just over $9 million. It’s an incredible story of growth, especially considering that the group only passed the milestone of $1 million in grants in 2012. “We’re really excited to help local charities with such a large amount of money,” said Aaron McRann, executive director of the CFSO, adding a comment he has been able to make for the past few years. “This is the most we’ve ever been able to grant.” But while they were able to help a large number of groups, the need seems to grow each year as well. Of the $223,000 in grants made in 2014, $119,000 was available through the Smart and Caring Communities grants program where charities submit project applications through a competitive bid process. This year, there were 65 groups looking for help with their projects. “We had 65 very good applications for all kinds of different projects. We study the applications and pick the strongest ones, but we also have to consider the wishes of the donors that have set up the endowment funds,” said Doug McPherson, chair of the grants committee. “In the end, we were able to support 24 of the 65 applicants.”
The remaining $104,000 in grants are given to charities designated specifically by the donors. Some donors make a permanent designation so that their endowment fund will always support a specific charity. In some other cases, the donor will provide annual advice to the Community Foundation as to which charity they wish to support. The CFSO was established in 1991 and is one of more than 180 community foundations across Canada. These foundations, rather than supporting their own programs or fighting for funding from the government, take charitable gifts from the community, invest them into a legacy fund, and then grant the fund’s return out to where the money is needed within the community. “While it’s not essential for donations to the community foundation to be permanently endowed,” said McRann, “Most of our donors appreciate the concept of providing a legacy of giving for charities they care about. Donors who feel this way tend to value the idea of investing the original donation and providing annual grants to local groups based on the earnings from those investments.” McRann said that many of the donors come from Penticton and orient their donations to the community, so it can be a challenge to provide support to the smaller communities, but they work hard to find ways. “We now have Smart and Caring Community Funds that help to provide additional granting to all communities in the RDOS,” said McRann. The 2014 grant distribution saw groups in Oliver and Osoyoos receiving $21,000; Keremeos and Cawston, $5,400; Okanagan Falls, $10,000; Penticton, $109,000; Princeton, $8,500; Summerland, $13,000 and the Regional District, $54,000.

Penticton Flying Club offering free flights Mark Brett
Western News Staff
There will be plenty of wide eyes in the skies over Penticton later this month. On Sunday, April 27 members of the Penticton Flying Club (Canadian Owners and Pilots Association Flight #50) will again be hosting the COPA for Kids program. Registrants between the ages of eight and 17 will have an opportunity, at no cost, to learn a little bit about the world of aviation and experience the joy of flight in a small aircraft. “It is just so much fun being a part of someone’s first opportunity to fly, to see the the look on their faces, the thrill that they get,” said COPA member Will Visscher of Penticton, one of the organizers. “It’s a great opportunity to get kids involved with aviation. We know how much we love it and we want to see more youth get involved.” Because there could be as many as 70 or more kids taking part, to ensure there are adequate numbers of aircraft, prior registration is required. Visscher still recalls his first time in a small aircraft. “I think I was about eight and I got hooked right away,” he said. “I got the bug then and I was doomed from there.”

Many kids are obviously nervous before take off, but according to the private pilot, by the time they land it’s a different story. The program gets underway about 9 a.m. at the Penticton Flying Club room on Les Abbey Road on the airport grounds. Parents and guardians are asked to be on time and expect to be at the centre for about two or three hours. The morning begins with a brief ground school where the kids will learn some of the basics and a pre-flight walk around of an aircraft with the pilot. Following that it will be up, up and away for a 20-30 minute flight within the Valley control area. “It’s amazing,” said Visscher about this region. “We have some of the best flying in the world right here in the Okanagan.” He expects anywhere from six to eight aircraft to be involved. Visscher credited the many pilots, ground crew members and families for making this opportunity available for kids.Registration forms have been distributed in many local schools and should be completed a week prior to the event. If the weather is not favourable on that date, it will be re-scheduled for May 4. For more information contact Visscher at 250-488-4847 or Don Sutherland in Summerland at 250-494-9042.

Nicholson leaves grassroots legacy Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff
After 120 medals in international competition, including 44 gold medals, Bob Nicholson is stepping down as president and chief executive officer of Hockey Canada. Yet, the highlight for the Penticton native, since he took on the position in 1998, was building at the grassroots level. “Trying to get the initiation program and get kids involved in the game, that has been a big challenge,” said Nicholson during a phone interview while in Victoria for meetings. “Maybe my most satisfying part of the job.” The Hockey Canada website states there are now more than 570,000 kids playing hockey across Canada. Nicholson, 60, also played a leadership role in the staging of the 1999 Molson Open Ice Hockey Summit, the 2010 Molson Canadian World Hockey Summit and the implementation or growth of numerous development programs, such as the Hockey Canada Skills Academy program, the Initiation Program, teaching resources, safety and grassroots initiatives. On the international stage, Nicholson serves as a vice-president with the International Ice Hockey Federation. Nicholson, who stepped down from his position on April 4 for June 1, said he will miss the people he has been in contact with most. He will also miss being on the road just about every day. Nicholson said it was hard for him to make this decision. “It’s been an honour and a privilege to be the president of Hockey Canada,” he said. “Representing hockey across this country and around the world. I just really thought the time was right. Winning double gold in Russia after doing that in Vancouver.” He agreed there is no better time to step away than going out on top. It will give him the chance to spend more time with his family (wife Lorna and children Mandi, Marijean and Grant) and go to Penticton.
PENTICTON’S BOB NICHOLSON announced on April 4 that he was stepping down from his position as president and chief executive officer of Hockey Canada effective June 1. Among his 120 medals won are seven Olympic gold medals and one Paralympic gold medal in 2006. WWW.HockeyCanada.ca
He’s also looking forward to playing golf. “I’ve never really taken holidays,” he said. “Even when I’m in Penticton, I’m on the phone for three hours every day. I want to see what that’s like.” Nicholson had mixed emotions during the press conference about the announcement and thanked the Hockey Canada board of directors. Nicholson said he received a note from the Penticton Golf and Country Club saying his old job of picking up golf balls wasn’t available but they would see what they could get for him.
“They might pay me more,” he joked. “No driving range, but get me washing clubs again.” Nicholson exits as Hockey Canada finishes plans for celebrating its 100th anniversary. “It’s going to be real big,” he said of the celebration. “It’s going to be really neat. We have hired a whole crew for it. It will be one of the biggest initiatives we’ve had.” Jim Hornell, chairman of the Hockey Canada Board of Directors, thanked Nicholson on behalf of Hockey Canada and those involved
in the game for his outstanding service to the organization, and also to hockey in Canada and around the world. “I would personally like to wish Bob well in his future endeavours, and thank him for a legacy of success and professionalism that he has helped grow at Hockey Canada,” said Hornell. The Hockey Canada board of directors will establish a process and timeline for the naming of a new president and CEO over the coming months.
Monster trucks set to crush cars at the SOEC Western News Staff
The Monster X Tour will invade the South Okanagan Events Centre on May 2 at 7:30 p.m. and May 3 at 1:30 and 7:30 p.m. Notable heavy weights will include Rock Star (the leader of the monster truck mafia), Bigfoot (the truck that started it all), California Kid, (California’s own Monster Truck) and Mega Merc (this
’50 Mercury means business). Adding to the adrenaline rush during the two-hour event, Freestyle Motocross acrobats will perform cliff hangers, double grabs, superman seat grabs and the backflip. A pre-event pit party pass is included with each ticket purchased by club members. Spectators are encouraged to arrive 90 minutes before the show begins to meet the drivers, get autographs and take photos of drivers and their trucks. During the pit party, fans can get
the ride of their life on-board a real monster truck. Rides may be purchased at the pit party. For safety reasons, only Rows 7–12 are available for this event. As the tickets in Row 7 are more expensive, club members with seats in that row may request seating higher up. Club members with licensed seats in Rows 1–6 will be relocated. Although Monster X Tour is going on sale immediately, club seats will be held until April 14 at noon.

Lakers offence explodes Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff
The Pen High Lakers senior girls rugby team improved to 2-0 in AAA Okanagan Valley League play after bulldozing their way to a 62-10 win over the South Kamloops Titans at McNicoll Park Wednesday. Leading 36-0 into the second half, the teams took turns scoring back-to-back tries and then the Lakers sealed the win with two more scores. Lakers coach Ian Butters liked that his eight rookies are learning to play quickly. “They are not afraid to try things,” said Butters, whose team is ranked 10th provincially. “They are not afraid to make mistakes. That’s what a rugby coach always wants.” Throughout the match the Lakers made the right choices
with the ball, which Butters liked. He said helping the cause was the leadership of his experienced veterans in crucial positions. Butters watched as his players initiated tactics well, including tackling with control. Butters said the Saints have a good team, but are a bit inexperienced and didn’t know how to react to the Lakers changes. “Going to provincials the last two years has really helped us,” said Butters. “Our players have had a chance to see what it’s like to have a team that constantly changes the way they look when they are attacking you.” When the Lakers were scored against, Butters moved players into positions they weren’t familiar with.

Players get growth and cultural experience Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff
For Bo Boxall, the Latin American Baseball Classic in the Dominican Republic is about more than just the game. Boxall, coach of the under-18 team for the Okanagan Valley’s Wave International Baseball Academy, said the goal of going to the tournament is to expose players to the culture and competition that can be found in vibrant baseball communities such as in the Dominican Republic. It’s the first time Canada has been invited to participate. Along with Canada, U.S., St. Croix, British Virgin Islands and Venezuela will field teams at the 32-year-old world-class international youth event. “Ultimately, we would like to have athletes understand that baseball is a game that can bring people together from around the globe in the name of sport,” said Boxall. “We are currently still recruiting more athletes that will help us put together a competitive team on the field.” It is the goal of the LABC to help the

players journey to college and enhance their understanding about the game and the way it is played around the globe. Equally important, said Boxall, is the players’ ability to help represent the Okanagan off the field. “We want athletes that exemplify great character. This experience is about more than
winning on the field,” he said. The Wave International Baseball Academy had its final camp at Carmi Field on April 5 and Boxall said it went well. They were able to see new players in all of the age divisions (10 to 18) as it attracted talent from the Okanagan, Vancouver area and Alberta. “Our goal with any one of our practices is that players can leave with at least one or two new pieces of information that can make them better players in the long run,” said Boxall. Among the players at the camp was Penticton’s Taylor Kanke, who plays for the South Okanagan Minor Baseball Association Tigers. “It’s been pretty insightful,” said Kanke. “I have learned a lot of stuff here about pitching and hitting.” Kanke also took advantage learning from former Chicago White Sox pitcher Jim Parque to increase his velocity on the mound. The coaching Kanke was exposed to was also different. “The coaching I’m used to is team (with the Tigers),” he said. “This is more specialized.”

Losing bone density? Suffering from osteoporosis?
AMAZING NEW ONE-PER-DAY SUPPLEMENT PROVEN TO INCREASE BONE MINERAL DENSITY! My bones. Strong
New natural solution
again.
Are you worried about osteoporosis?
Over two million Canadian women suffer from osteoporosis - the loss of bone mineral density and increased risk of fracture. Women in menopause can lose over 2% of bone density in a single year. Forty percent of women over 50 will suffer from a bone fracture and 25% of those who have a hip fracture will survive less than one year.
Current solutions = limited success
Calcium is necessary for bone growth, but supplementation has had limited success in actually rebuilding bones. North Americans are taking a lot of calcium, but still have high rates of osteoporosis due to poor absorption. Pharmaceuticals designed to treat osteoporosis can be effective, but the side-effects can be undesirable or even dangerous.

High Bar Gang rolls into Dream Café Kristi Patton
Western News Staff
Armed with friends and accomplished artists like Barney Bentall and Shari Ulrich, Colin Nairne didn’t have to search far to design his bluegrass band. Bentall, Ulrich, Angela Harris, Wendy Bird Rob Becker, Eric Reed and Nairne cram onto stages together as the High Bar Gang to play “classic bluegrass for modern times.” Appropriately dressed in their “cowboy suits.” “Traditionally in bluegrass bands you wear a suit. Barney has suits, but I thought there was no way I was getting the other guys to wear one. I phoned up Sheplers western wear in Kansas City and they sent us a box of cheap, polyester cowboy suits that were made in China and don’t fit anybody,” Nairne said. “They don’t know how to make clothes to fit human beings. The thing is you know what everyone will be wearing that night, there is no worrying about if this shirt looks cool.” Beyond the cheap suits, each member of the High Bar Gang brings substance and depth delivering their interpretation of some of the greatest classic and contemporary gospel, bluegrass, traditional country and Appala-

chian folk songs. “We have Angela Harris and Wendy Bird who sound amazing together and then we have Shari Ulrich and the three sound insane together. So we ended up with this unwieldy band, but who do you take out of it? It doesn’t make any sense so we just decided on this huge giant group,” said Nairne, who is a longtime member of Barney Bentall and the Legendary Hearts. Unsure of how a crowd would react to them, Nairne said it was in 2010 a very nervous

High Bar Gang took the stage at an Eagles Club. It was their first gig and the venue catered mostly to meetings of the Ladies Auxiliary and community award ceremonies. The perfect sized venue, said Nairne, and had a bar where the drinks were priced just right. “Our good friend Tom Taylor agreed to open the show, giving us the piece of mind that if we failed miserably he could come back onstage and play for the folks while we snuck out the back,” said Nairne. They made it through un-
scathed and the songs they chose, with the help of Ry Cooder, ended up on Lost and Undone: A Gospel Bluegrass Companion record. It earned a 2014 Juno Award nomination. “I keep a really tight fist on what we are doing and it is kind of the bluegrass way. You can imagine with seven fairly strong personalities it is going to get all over the map and I have a fairly clear vision of how I want this to go. I am so lucky that the people in the band surrender to my vision,” said Nairne of how he manages to keep sane with that many people involved. The seven of them hunkered down at Bentall’s Bowen Island house to capture a performance to put on the record. It was recorded live off the floor in his living room. “There was very few microphones, we were all standing in a semi-circle and we would just start playing. It’s very oldschool and I don’t think there is any doubt people are looking to the past to invigorate their ears in terms of listening to music,” said Nairne. “We are about as far away as you can get from Rihanna or Katy Perry, and this is no reflection on their talent, but it is very produced.” See BLUEGRASS on p.

Theatre groups host reading for Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night
Penticton Chamber Theatre and St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church are inviting Shakespeare fans to a complete reading of Twelfth Night on April 16. Colin Cross, of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, said Shakespeare is the greatest writer of all time with beautiful language and piercing insight. A co-production between Penticton Chamber Theatre and St. Andrew’s Presbyterian of the perennial comedy Twelfth Night is to be performed this summer. They are inviting anyone interested in reading for a part, just reading or listening to the church located at Martin Street and Wade Avenue for a complete reading of the play on April 16 at 7 p.m. Attendees can come through the back door and straight down the stairs. Refreshments will be served.
Bluegrass group for modern times BLUEGRASS from B1 “There is something very spectacular about a group of people playing acoustic instruments and just hearing them like they were in your living room and that is what we captured with that record. Except they are taken right into Barney’s living room,” said Nairne. Nairne remains steadfast in
keeping with his initial vision. This album was designed specifically as a gospel record and he has plans for the next two already. The follow up being a “cheating and hurting” songs album. “I think the next one will be recorded at Barney’s ranch. It is two old log homes from the 1880s put together and you play in the living room and it sounds
absolutely, stupidly good,” said Nairne. “People will hear some of the songs that I have picked for that album on this tour. I added a new song to each singers’ repertoire and they are great.” The High Bar Gang play two nights at the Dream Café on April 18 and 19. Doors open at 6 p.m. and show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $40.

Teen actor lands Gracepoint gig Kristi Patton
Western News Staff
A young boy is found dead on an idyllic beach and a major police investigation gets underway. While it may sound like the scene of a horrible tragedy, for a Penticton actor it could be one of the best things that ever happened to him. Nikolas Filipovic is playing the deceased 12-year-old boy Danny in Gracepoint, a soon to be aired TVseries on Fox based on Broadchurch, the U.K.’s critically acclaimed and wildly popular crime drama. “It is a little different than the original series and it branches out after the first episode. It’s pretty cool because it isn’t your average mystery show where they try and find the killer. It is about the town and has great characters. It revolves about how they all deal with my character being dead,” said 15-year-old Filipovic. The crime takes place in a northern California seaside town and is deemed a homicide. It turns neighbour against neighbour and sparks a media frenzy, which not only throws the boy’s family into further turmoil but also threatens to upend the lives of all the town’s residents. Filipovic’s was discovered at a Kelowna talent search. He landed a gig at just five years old on a Fisher Price Learn Through Music TV commercial and since then he was hooked. Even at such a ten-
nikolAS FiliPovic has appeared in commercials and other work since he was a toddler. he hopes his big break has come landing a role in Gracepoint.

der age, Filipovic was already hamming it up for whoever would pay attention. “He used to pretend he was Milo from the Atlantis cartoon. If we had to go shopping or anything I would have to bend down to his eye level and say ‘OK, Nikolas now you have to be a little boy.’ Just so he would not pretend there was monsters around that he had to fight,” said his mom, Danica. Filming for Gracepoint got underway in January in Victoria, and is expected to air for the 2014-2015 TV season. The series features a
number of prominent actors including the original Broadchurch lead actor David Tennant (Dr. Who) who reprises his role as Detective Emmett Carver, a bythe-book cop who just arrived in Gracepoint to fill a high position in the town’s police force. That job previously had been promised to Detective Ellie Miller, played by Anna Gunn (Breaking Bad), who, in light of the tragedy, must put any resentment aside and work the case with her prickly new boss. Danny is survived by his grieving parents Beth, played by Virginia Kull (Boardwalk Em-
pire), and Mark Solano, played by Michael Peña (End of Watch), who are devastated by the loss of their son. The entire town of Gracepoint is pulled into the chaos of the investigation, including Jack Reinhold, played by Nick Nolte (Luck), a private and stubborn man who Danny used to volunteer for. The show also stars Susan Wright (Silver Linings Playbook), Kevin Rankin (Justified), Kendrick Sampson (The Vampire Diaries), Kevin Zegers (Gossip Girl) and many others. “It is so cool getting to hang out with them. We talk about acting and fans. David Tennant met this woman who had a giant tattoo of him on her shoulder. It was crazy,” said Filipovic. This isn’t the first time Filipovic has been on a television set. He worked with Noah Wyle on Falling Skies as the character Markley, appeared in Fringe in 2010, and has been in two TV movies. He takes performance classes regularly in Penticton with Acting Classes by Jacqueline. “I just want to act a lot. I’m not into the Hollywood star thing but I love acting,” he said. Besides regular trips to Vancouver to audition, Filipovic said he is just like any other kid. “My friends think it is cool, but they like to poke fun of me about it too,” he said. “I get to meet famous people and have met new friends from all over the place. The whole thing is just a lot of fun.”

McIvor helps with hugs and compassion Mark Brett
Western News Staff
In her many years of helping others, longtime Penticton resident Anna McIvor has affectionately become known as “the hugger.” “That’s what they started calling me because I like to hug people, I love people and I always have,” said McIvor, who has divided her volunteer time between a variety of organizations and agencies since moving to Canada from her home in the Netherlands. “I hug everybody and I tell them they’re in good hands now and we’ll look after you and they don’t have to worry and that usually calms them down quite nicely.” In Penticton the two groups she has helped with that are the closest to her heart are the multicultural society and emergency social services. Whether it was something as simple as helping a new immigrant with the language or negotiating face to face with a hostage taker she was always ready to lend a hand and a calming voice. Her first foray into the world of emergency services was not exactly planned, if anything, was quite unexpected. “It was when we had the big fire in Penticton in 1994 and I wasn’t working with ESS at the time but I certainly took in a lot of people and a lot of dogs,” she recalled. However most of the 3,500 people evacuated as the fire moved west into the residential area on the east side wound up at the com-
munity centre where McIvor was working. Shortly afterwards she was asked and agreed to become a member of the agency she would later run for many years. “You get called out for a lot of things, a lot of fires, and you just have to make sure they are safe and had a place to go,” she said. “I remember one fire in Oliver at a seniors’ place and these people who were in their 80s and 90s were just devastated, they had to sleep in the church but we did what we could to make them comfortable. “A lot of times you get called out in the middle of the night or early morning. At first it was a little scary and I was a bundle of nerves but it eventually got easier.” Perhaps her most vivid memory was the day when she wound up in the same room with a hostage taker in a downtown Penticton boarding house. A man there she described as overwrought and armed with a knife, was holding his wife against her will. “The police were there and we probably should not have gone in but you just never know what’s on the other side of that door,” said McIvor. “I always had a helper and in this case in was my son-in-law Steve (Robinson) who is a big strapping guy and he stood between the two of us. It was Steve who actually calmed the fellow down.” For the most part, her work with the agency centred around finding lodging and the im-

mediate necessities of life for people affected by fires or other cases resulting in displacement during that critical first 72 hours. Often it was that simple touch on the arm or another proven method she found to allay people’s fears. “The Quilter’s Guild used to donate quilts they made,” said McIvor. “Just the smiles on the faces of these people when I gave them the quilts was amazing, it was just something they could have right away to keep them warm and safe.”

These days she stays close to home to be with husband Rory, a former city councillor, but when needed by ESS, still does her best to assist. “I guess my payment for those years of volunteering was feeling good about helping people. I loved helping people and I still do. I went through the Second World War, I was young but I have memories of that and you need to be decent and respect each other, treat people the way you want to be treated. “Oh, and give them a hug too.”

Wine trademarks transfer to CVA Steve Kidd
The well-recognized VQA trademark has changed hands, shifting from the Vintners Quality Alliance to the Canadian Vintners Association. The transfer, which took effect on March 31, includes all of the VQACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intellectual property assets and registered trademarks, including Icewine. The shift, however, is only recognizing the status quo; the CVA has managed the national and international trade issues for the past decade on behalf of VQAC and the Canadian wine industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very pleased with the decision by the VQAC to recognize the CVA as the organization best positioned to protect the VQA and Icewine trademarks in Canada and abroad,â&#x20AC;? said Tony Stewart, president of Quailsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Gate Winery and CVA chair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the past decade, the CVA has dedicated sigQLÂżFDQW LQWHUQDO DQG ÂżQDQFLDO UHVRXUFHV WR SURWHFW VQAC intellectual property and the integrity of Canadian wine.â&#x20AC;? That includes ensuring protection of the VQA trademark in foreign markets like China as well as negotiating a non-enforcement agreement between VQAC, and B.C., where a separate VQA system was developed. That agreement has transferred to the CVA also. Steve Berney, general manager of the B.C. Wine Authority, said the transfer wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect B.C. wine makers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use B.C. VQA, as opposed to VQA,â&#x20AC;? he said. While Ontario uses a logo nearly identical to the national stop sign VQA logo, B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use a wine glass with B.C. in it, with VQA just underneath.â&#x20AC;?

Hot laps with a world champion at the wheel
The ease and effortlessness in which he wrangles the 305 turbocharged horses of the Subaru via the 6-speed manual gearbox is really no surprise
Alexandra Straub
’’
Ojai, CA. - Four-time World Rally Champion (WRC), Tommi Mäkinen, is behind the wheel of the 2015 Subaru WRX STI at Buttonwillow Raceway Park in the middle of nowhere, California. I’m riding shotgun along with two others in the back. The ease and effortlessness in which he wrangles the 305 turbocharged horses of the Subaru via the 6-speed manual gearbox is really no surprise. After all, he’s not a champion because he looks good doing it. So, if the pro can make it look and feel as perfect as a summer’s day, I should be able to as well, right? I slip into the captain’s chair of the STI – without Tommi in the car, thank goodness – and take to the 3.1-mile track. Prior to the hot laps, I had driven the outgoing 2014 Subaru STI on the same course. I’d be back-to-back testing these all-wheel drive machines to see how the engineering prowess has, yet again, continued to make a vehicle with a cultlike following even better. Rewind a few hours to the start-of-the-day’s press conference. Masuo Takatsu, WRX STI Project General Manager, mentioned the modus operandi of the fourth gen-
a class of its own, with few competitors that can come close to the emotional appeal that this sedan brings to the market. And anyone not familiar with it should be aware that, despite its 2.5L turbocharged engine, which

eration STI was to create a vehicle that behaves as the drivers expects it to. Mission accomplished. Though I didn’t even come close to Tommi’s performance, that wasn’t my goal. The goal was to experience first-hand how docile yet potent Subaru’s famed sedan took to the high speeds and corners of the club track. I had no desire to hand the keys over to my colleagues as they eagerly anticipated their time in the Rally Blue beauty. It would be sacrilege if I didn’t insert some technical jargon into the reasoning why the STI scored big points on the road test. Without getting too deep into the engineering, here are the top three take-home points of this incredible vehicle. One: the increased use of high-strength steel makes for a stiffer and stronger body, and decreases its tendency to twist and bend in corners. The result? A more predictable handling sedan that isn’t easily irked and stays firmly planted to the ground. Furthermore, the 2015 STI achieves 16 per cent less body roll than before. Two: You have the practicality of added dimensions. There is 25mm added to wheelbase, there is 900mm more legroom in back and you get 20L more cargo space (from 320L to 340L.) Three: The Base WRX and STI don’t have a rear spoiler. The Sport and Sport-tech WRX has a trunk lip spoiler and the corresponding STI trims have the “table for six” or very large spoiler! Perhaps it’s also sacrilege to not put the emphasis of this review on the design and engineering of this new generation of STI. After all, it has been re-imagined on both the inside and out. But anyone who knows the vehicle is aware that it is in
ponies, fear not, Subaru has their WRX to captivate you. Also completely redesigned on the inside and out, you have the magic of the Japanese brand’s 2.0L, turbocharged engine that produces 268 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque

Some new cars sneak into the world under the radar with little baggage in the form of expectations (realistic or otherwise). Others are so heavily touted that even the best can sink under the weight of unrealistic pressures. Here are some that, in addition to being under the microscope when introduced, suffered from many glitches.
MINIVAN 1990-93 Pontiac Trans Sport: GM perceived an unexploited niche for a minivan with some style, much like the European Renault Espace. The concept car was brilliant, with gullwing doors and a glass roof. Unfortunately, none of these fea-

Biggest automotive disappointments ever tures translated into the production model, whose awkward profile resembled a Black and Decker Dustbuster mini vacuum. The nickname “Dustbuster” stuck, and sales were modest. Buyers found them hard to see out of because of the huge distance between the steering wheel and the windshield.

iceberg for Vega owners. Even the air in the tires seemed substandard.
SMALL CAR 1971-77 Chevrolet Vega: The Vega was supposed to be the small car that sent the new wave of Japanese imports back across the Pacific. Instead, it pushed a giant wave of buyers into Toyota and Datsun showrooms. The aluminum engine, which was prone to overheating and oil burning, and the hideously rustprone bodies were often just the tip of the misery
LUXURY CAR 1981 Cadillac DeVille V8-6-4: GM struggled to maintain a sense of traditional luxury under the weight of the first Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) regulations. And while the idea of a V-8 engine that turned off cylinders when they weren’t needed had promise that would eventually be realized, the technology of the day wasn’t up to the task and the feeling of the cylinders shutting off and on was perceptible to the point of being nausea-inducing. Cadillac introduced at least 13 new computer chips for the cylinder deactivation control system before giving up.

SPORTS CAR 1972-75 Jensen-Healey: The Jensen-Healey was designed to be the successor to the much-loved Austin-Healey 3000, with input from the legendary Donald Healey. Unfortunately, where the earlier car had a lovely and curvaceous style to it, the J-H was perceived as bland and derivative. Also problematic was the new and untested Lotus twin-cam engine. Broken timing belts, oil leaks and low oil pressure issues ensured that warranty claims added up quickly and the Jensen-Healey was gone after just four model years.
