Uncorking the Okanagan’s food and wine industry Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
If you pull your stereotypes from popular TV programs, successful chefs should be bombastic tyrants, hurling insults and cutlery at anything deemed less than perfect. Wrapped in crisp doublebreasted chef coats with jaunty white hats atop their heads, they’re alluring and repugnant all at once. A walking contradiction reflecting the base pleasures inherent in gloriously culinary concoctions and the ugly work needed to deliver them, night after night.
Of course, reality is rarely found on TV. What those screen-dwelling caricatures have done in the real world, however, is build the public’s appetite for fine dining, making way for real chefs in cities both big and small to build on their trade and grow their profile. Locally that rising culinary standard has been further shaped by the success of the valley’s wine industry. Those who really have succeeded know how to capitalize on both. That brings us to Mark Filatow, the chef at Waterfront Wines who’s also a sommelier. He makes the news often,
so I was familiar with his name before I took Okanagan College’s three-day food and wine pairing intensive class last week. It was still, perhaps because of those stereotypes, a bit daunting to walk into the classroom of which he was at the helm, but luckily the day started with wine. Also, Filatow’s remarkably pleasant demeanour was a stark contrast to all preconceptions usually attached to someone whose background reads like the society pages for chefs. He began a culinary apprenticeship in 1996 working with chef Rod Butters at Tofino’s Wickaninnish Inn. After two years, he headed
back to Vancouver and worked for chef John Bishop at Bishops Restaurant, followed by Diva at the Met Restaurant under Canadian Iron Chef Michael Noble. In 2001 he joined Butters, and with Audrey Surrao became part of the opening team of Kelowna’s Fresco, which is now RauDZ. He started running his own restaurant in November 2004 and opened Kelowna’s Waterfront Restaurant and Wine Bar. It’s won numerous awards

Learn to eat your way through the valley EAT FROM A1 including being dubbed one of Canada’s Best New Restaurants by EnRoute Magazine and tallied five consecutive years of Wine Spectator’s “Award of Excellence.” Most recently Vancouver Magazine named Waterfront Wines the best in the Okanagan. Filatow offered up a truncated version of that history, which focused a lot on foodloving European parents and skipped the namedropping I just included, when the class got underway. He then asked those in attendance what brought them to the class, what their favourite/least favourite food and wine combinations were and offered up encouraging nods and comments to every nugget of information offered. It was abundantly clear from that moment onward that I had no business being among the collection of industry types and connoisseurs. Searching my mind for qualifications I remembered when a sojusoaked fortune teller in Seoul said that I’d never find my life purpose until I ran a restaurant. Or maybe I could tell them I was there because I’m Greek-ish and that’s just what Greeks, even the “ish” ones, seem to do? My grandfather was a pastry chef who classically

When he grew up and had a family, he immigrated with them from Cyprus to Montreal where he and my
grandmother put their combined skills to work and opened a restaurant. It went on for awhile, and then it was gone. The recipes that they and their children
continued to make lived on and made me a great eater—a skill I leave off my resumé, though it sticks to my hips. The most legitimate reason for me to be there,
however, is the belief that all Okanaganites, especially those of us who have been here awhile and watched the food and beverage industry explode without much
of an idea of how to get our bearings, should get a crash course in what’s become the defining characteristic of the valley. A wine tour just doesn’t cut it and I don’t
have the budget or the stomach for trying everything. So, I was there to eat, learn, drink, for us—the common Okanaganite. Not the stuff of a Julia Roberts movie, but somebody needs to make the sacrifice. And what a sacrifice it was. The class tasted a selection of quality local wines paired with foods Filatow prepared in front of us. My classmates tossed around terms like “barnyard-y” and “orange peel.”I mostly said “red,” “white,” “good” and “bad.” We talked about how a good wine stays on the palate longer, and applied free market economic theory to drink appreciation. “If you pay for it, you taste it differently,” said Filatow, who, for the record, keeps wine notes in his phone, under headings like, appearance, nose, palate. And, as he goes, he puts in notes about what foods the wine may pair well with. There’s an app for that, but he’s not a fan. Nor does he particularly like the fact that Gewürztraminers always come with the suggestion that they pair well with “spicy Asian food.” It’s a cop-out in labelling and a disservice to consumers that

Chef shares his insights on how to pair food with wines EAT FROM A3 apparently really bothers him. Filatow explained that a wine that has a lot of tannins—that stuff that makes your gums feel dry—needs a big protein like steak. He also taught us that some foods can make a wine sing, while others are pure mouth-torture. And there were some dishier nuggets. Filatow
once mentioned, without naming names, there are some wines in the valley he would never feature in his restaurant, regardless of the seal on the label.

its story and adherence to production. Brodo restaurant in Penticton was also featured. And the one that sparked my appetite for more was the Upper Bench Winery and creamery. Its cheeses and wines were delicious, but you know that feeling you get when you meet people you want to keep talking to? That’s what this place oozes. The owners, winemaking husband and cheese-making wife Gavin and Shana Miller,
The trouble with abundance, however, is finding the supply a home, thus the bigquantity sales of the future. Best of all, however, was when we were taken out of the classroom and put into situations where we got to see Filatow interact with the men and women who produce the products he uses in his restaurant. They all had their own pairings prepared. Stops on this tour included Bad Tattoo brewing, where locally made beer rivals wine in

decided to get into business when Gavin wanted to make a wine he could afford to drink— or so the charming anecdote began. He’s known for big red wines, and built up his reputation through wine making at Poplar Grove and Painted Rock. Shana became a cheese-maker at Poplar Grove. Somewhere along the way they decided to branch out. At the tail end of a remarkably romantic sounding postbankruptcy sale, they and a partner became owners of a gorgeous little spot on the Naramata Bench,
where I’m almost sure people fall in love with them daily. They talk about their cheeses and wines like they were beautiful living creations. All Shana’s cheeses are boys, “which is why they’re so difficult.” It makes sense because all the things worth loving are difficult, and it’s clear love of her craft is a not so secret ingredient. Gavin said he’s woken up in the wee hours on more than one occasion to see her illuminated by the warm glow of YouTube’s cheese making clips. Her cheeses are paired
with Gavin’s wines, which he said he’s lucky enough to make on a smaller scale, allowing a focus on quality. That, he explained while bringing us into the fields behind the shop, is a reflection of what’s in the vineyard. Before the Millers took over, the space had been bankrupted twice, and the land was used at maximum capacity. Abused, they intimated. To make things right, Gavin reduced the volume of grapes they produced and they stopped using

PLANT SALE May 21st to May 23rd, 2016 (3 days)
Culinary industry professionals advanced their food and wine pairing skills with a course taught by Waterfront Wines executive chef and sommelier Mark Filatow.
EAT FROM A4 chemicals, like Round-up, which from the sounds of things, is a vineyard favourite. They even showed how to spot the difference between a vineyard that uses chemicals and one that doesn’t. Check between the vines. If there is unruly grass and underbrush, then you’re in a chemical free zone. If it’s parched and clear, something less than organic is going on. And that is kind of the foundation for his wine making. He told us that he was once told by a successful wine maker that the job is not about making wine, per se. It’s about taking care of the grapes from start to finish, and if it’s done with care you can be sure of a quality product. The Millers have an attitude that isn’t totally unique in the valley. It was
reflected in Filatow’s lectures, as well as the comments from others woven into the course. Good quality food and drink that’s ultimately an homage to the geography it springs from amounts to a story in every bite, sip, or slurp. And that’s something we uninitiated Okanaganites know a thing or two about. While not all of us may have the palate or paycheques needed to really immerse ourselves in the Okanagan’s flashiest industry, the geography is a good chunk of why we are all here. So, next time you have a sip or a bite, take a minute to think about its story. I know I will. And it will taste all the more “barnyard-y” for it. Unless that’s a bad thing…I’m still not sure. But I’m certainly not going to be afraid to ask in the future, especially if I come across the likes of those I met in the program.

Rutland clinic to shut in August Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com
MAY 25th 7-9pm
The head of the Walk-in Clinics of B.C. Association says the impending closure of Rutland’s only walk-in medical clinic will be felt throughout the Central Okanagan. According to Mike McLoughlin, that’s because the other walk-in medical clinics in the city do not have the capacity to handle all the patients who don’t have a family doctor and used the Rutland clinic instead. “If they come to our clinic, they just won’t get in,” said McLoughlin, who runs the walk-in clinic located in the Real Canadian Superstore in
Mike McLoughlin
Kelowna. Up until 2011, he also ran another walkin clinic in Rutland but it closed due to a lack of doctors available to work there. McLoughlin said his Kelowna clinic currently has a waiting list of
an astonishing 15,000 “unattached” patients. (An unattached patient is someone who does not have a permanent family doctor in town.) McLoughlin said it is his understanding the Rutland clinic was seeing about 40,000 patients per year. Last week, the Rutland clinic announced it will close in August after 20 years in operation, the last four as the only walkin clinic in Rutland, which is the largest residential area in the city. Founder and medical director Dr. Jim Allison said reasons for the planned closure include a lack of new family doctors to replace retiring ones, a growing
and aging population and an edict from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. that walk-in medical clinics in B.C. become a regular patient’s “medical home”—in other words, that the clinic provide the same level of care, including after care, that a family doctor would provide. He said his clinic is not technologically equipped to meet the ongoing care standard. Several of the eight doctors at the clinic work there doing what Allison described as extra shifts on top of the work they do with their own

A problem for the entire city CLINIC FROM A6 patients at their own practices, which are located elsewhere in the city. “I’m very sad to see this happen,” Allison said of the closure. “I thought that this clinic would be there forever. But he said since starting with 17 doctors doing part-time work at the clinic in 1996, that number has dropped to just eight, including a few locums the clinic was able to attract. He said the clinic is also not equipped with a computer system to handle the ongoing medical care patients can now expect from a
walk-in clinic as per the College of Physicians and Surgeon’s 2015 edict. Allison suggested patients from Rutland go to other walk-in clinics in Kelowna after the Aug. 20 closure, specifically identifying McLoughlin’s clinic at the Canadian Superstore on Baron Road, another one on Cooper Road and a third in the Mission Park Mall shopping centre as being the nearest. But McLoughlin said while his clinic and the others would like to help, he does not feel they can because they are all already handling more patients than they can serve. “This is not just a
Rutland problem,” he told the Kelowna Capital News Thursday. “This is a problem for the entire city.” He said he expects many patients will likely turn to the next option once the Rutland clinic closes—the emergency ward at Kelowna General Hospital. But that’s something both McLoughlin and Allison recommended patients not do unless it is a real emergency. “The emergency ward should not be used as a walk-in clinic,” said McLoughlin. Both men said anyone who has a family doctor in the city should use their doctor instead of walk-in
clinics to free up space for others who do not have a family doctor. The current estimate is that as many as 30,000 people in Kelowna, about 20 per cent of the population, do not currently have a family doctor. McLoughlin said if the current situation persists, he could see a day when walk-in clinics limit the patients they see just to those on the “roster” of regular patients, or must line up outside a clinic before 9 a.m. to get their name on a waiting list before that list is cut off and no more patients are accepted for the rest of that day.

Opinion
P3 will put big penalty on West Kelowna To the editor: Did you catch Mayor Findlator of West Kelowna explaining last week that he and council had decided to go ahead with a referendum on the new city hall proposal? [Referendum Option for Civic Centre Approved by (West Kelowna) Council, May 11
LETTER OF THE WEEK Kelowna Capital News.] As well, he said, they would be seeking an extension from the province to the 80-day period in which, by law, it must be held. What he failed to mention, and the media failed to enquire about, is that our “partner,” Strategic Development Group, is slapping us, the taxpayers, with a penalty of $18,000 a month. By the time the referendum is held in September, this will total over $70,000. We haven’t even given approval to this contract and already they’re

billing us. These Public Private Partnerships or P3s are not in the publics’ interest. They cost significantly more than if governments just put up the money themselves and hired contractors to build the same infrastructure under conventional contracts. Strategic Development Group [the developer] stands to make a ton of money—they do not care from whom just as long as they get a big pay out. Here’s a novel idea. How about living within our means? With runaway debt in this province and country what kind of message is city hall sending to its residents by insisting on borrowing millions when we don’t need to. Do we really want to go down the path of Kelowna which spends $11 million annually on debt servicing? We have the land already and we have the money in the bank. When the time is right we can build an affordable city hall for our dedicated civil employees in a more central location that would not financially burden future generations. Jason Bednar, Westbank
PM’s wife expected to work for free, alone? The Internet is somewhat right Kathartic for a change. Sophie Gregoire Trudeau should KATHY not be dipping MICHAELS into the public purse to fund an assistant. There are better uses for our tax dollars. Uses that could send a clear message to all women, but let’s work our way up to that. The issue of Gregoire Trudeau’s need for assistance was raised last week when she told an interviewer that she could use a hand to continue with all the charity and advocacy work she’s been asked to help with. She and the prime minister have nannies for their three children, and Gregoire Trudeau already has one assistant. “I’d love to be everywhere, but I can’t. I have three children and a husband who is prime minister. I need help. I need a team to help me serve the people,” she was quoted saying. Just like that, the floodgates holding back passive aggressive conservative Canadians from getting their hate-on were opened.

#PrayforSophie memes were aplenty on social media as she was generally mocked for being high maintenance and out of touch with the people. The most annoying of all, however, was a letter circulating at a dishearteningly rapid rate through Facebook. It was an open post by a woman who chose to have five kids—two of whom she thought worthy to note have attention deficit disorder—and what she said was a high stress job. “What is most disgusting is how terribly out of touch you can be with the realities that working women in Canada face today. Canadian women, on a daily basis, struggle with the costs of childcare and activities that are increasingly creating hardship for Canadian families,” the woman wrote. “I’m talking about working women that struggle to find work-life balance. I’m talking about women who run themselves into the ground with ZERO help. And let’s be honest, you have no official duties. It’s YOUR choice to attend events and guest speak at charities.” I read it three times, and each time I became increasingly disgusted. Not with Gregoire Trudeau, mind you. Disgusted, because Facebook missives are always

politicking wrapped in artificial folksiness and, more importantly, because the underlying message of this piece is that women shouldn’t have to ask for help. It’s apparently our job to white-knuckle it through difficult work/parenting moments, or as she said “run ourselves into the ground” because, what, it’s what we lady-folk do? We should be toiling like it’s the 1800s? It’s also a galling bit of writing because it’s just plain obtuse to hang Gregoire Trudeau on her socalled “choice” to help. Sure, she wasn’t elected and has no “official duties.” The only government spouse in Ottawa who does is the Governor General’s wife, I learned this week. But we all know Gregoire Trudeau has been thrust into the public eye, and while she’s there I think she’s using that attention well. She’s continually talking about women’s empowerment, and issues like eating disorders, which she herself has dealt with and, for the record, not being paid for it. This role requires great speeches—or, in her case, strange songs—that demand care, attention and time because those interested ears bring awareness

Experiencing Hearing Loss?
WEST KELOWNA CITY HALL
Council still ignores taxpayers’ preferences To the editor: Once again West Kelowna council is gambling with taxpayer’s money with renewed hopes that relocating city hall will bring about revitalization for Westbank centre. In an attempt to win over taxpayer support for city hall, council markets this development with a commitment from Interior Health Authority to relocate their services—no revenue other than property taxes. And, as we recall, IHA purchased Agricultural Land Reserve land (at Elliott and Butt) for a future medical centre and fenced the entire property at taxpayer’s expense. The developer on the other hand sees the real gain: $655,000 land purchase from the city along with a commitment to relocate IHA services—all value-added to the developer’s
investment. The AAP failed [to allow council to borrow $10.5 million for the city hall/civic centre project] and now council has committed to about $40,000 for a referendum. It appears the Governance Report, Citizens’ Survey results, along with the AAP were not conclusive enough for council. Would common sense not suggest, in the lead up to an AAP, that there were more economical ways to gain a stronger appreciation for the public’s appetite for a new city hall and its location? Council asked city staff to look at this for a number of years while foregoing any real test of public support. The 2016 Citizens’ survey (just released) could have been a tool to garner public input. No matter your view on the city hall
proposal, we must thank the 12 volunteers that committed time, knowledge, energy and money to reduce the obstacles for those wanting to sign the AAP. Some of the negative comments (e.g. “12 retirees/seniors with nothing better to do than complain”) made by social media commentators were about them. Hopefully, these individuals and their readers will recognize these actions for what they really are—a form of bullying. This includes those making negative comments when given the opportunity to sign a petition (already made cumbersome by council) at the locations volunteers staffed. What is our future without volunteers? T. Kinsman, West Kelowna For the full transcript visit kelownacapnews.com and click on Opinion, Letters
WK council should step back, reconsider To the editor: There is now a conflict of interest if the referendum is prepared by the administration. The referendum should be prepared by independent solicitors, include some basic guideline options and not a simple “Do you want a new city hall? Yes or No.” Those opposed to the plan are not objecting to a new city hall; they are not rejecting the other good work that has gone on by this council and administration. The opposition [to a new city hall for West Kelowna] expressed is clear and overwhelming. To name a few: 1. The site was selected based on the Revitalization Plan, which in itself was predicated on changing Highway 97. The province rejected that concept. 2. The civic centre proposed is not convenient or central to the majority of residents of the city. 3. The 2013 council resolution considered Westbank as the Urban Core. 4. The concept of Westbank becoming
the social, commercial and retail hub is nice, but the developments on WFN lands already own that position. It is in fact the “urban core” for retail, office and financial matters. Westbank is a great neighbourhood shopping area, cultural district and possibly a boutique shopping area sometime in the future. 5. The city has to buy the land from the developer at market price when the city already owns or could acquire suitable land. 6. The city will be forced to put in major [infrastructure and amenities] in an area where only one side of the road is being developed and there are few existing homes. 7. There will be pressure to remove from the ALR the agricultural land across the street to justify infrastructure expenditures and reap benefits (for developers) of the civic plaza. 8. The city is locked into working with the developer…rather than a bid process. 9. The site is not central…A real risk exists that the proposed residential [plan] will languish as did the last one. 10. Private public partnerships have more often failed to meet their civic objectives.
11. Having Interior Health in the developer’s building adds nothing to the city. Interior Health has thousands of square feet of developed rental space available but has done nothing to advance the community needs, until they got a “deal” with the city. 12. Doubling the area of the present [civic] office is not necessary to accommodate foreseeable expansion. 13. Planning on rental income from the excess space developed now, in light of the high vacancy rate in the retail/commercial area on WFN nearby, is a huge risk. 14. Egress from north of Main Street on Elliot Road onto Highway 97 North, is bad now due to the design of the bus exchange. There are other reasons, but these seem to be the ones mentioned most often. Those opposed to the plan ask that council step back and start fresh, with respect for the process result: Please do not try a “work around” to get the result you focused on, and ignore the wishes of so many concerned citizens. Doug Waines, West Kelowna
Stats Can’s follow up on poor census delivery To the editor: Recently, one of your readers expressed concerns with the delivery of census forms. [Haphazard Delivery of Census Forms in Lake Country, May 18 Kelowna Capital News.] Statistics Canada takes such concerns seriously, and is taking steps to ensure all households receive envelopes or questionnaires and have the opportunity to participate in the 2016 Census. We encourage Canadians to complete the census as soon as they receive it, preferably online using the secure access code which is
in the census letter or on the questionnaire. Later this week, we start to follow up by phone and in person with non-respondents in certain areas of the country (where mail delivery is not conducted solely based on the civic address of the dwelling). Questionnaire packages will be sent to non-respondents in mail-out areas. If households have not yet received a census envelope or wish to complete a paper questionnaire, we encourage them to phone the Census Help Line (1-855-700-2016). We thank Canadians for their diligence in
Heavy work load for zero pay MICHAELS FROM A8 and dollars to issues that need to be dealt with. Do the teeming masses of suffering women sharing this Facebook post think Gregoire Trudeau should do Canada’s volunteer work off the side of the kitchen table, and feel grateful for the opportunity? Gregoire Trudeau has made me cringe on more than one occasion. That hand over her heart thing she and the prime minister do at the glint of a camera lens makes me want
to poke my fingers into my eyes. But if she needs help with the work that comes with her position and her place, then she has the right to ask for it without being told she is less of a Canadian woman for doing so. In fact she deserves much more. The real question Canadians should be asking is why isn’t she making a wage for doing this work? Maybe then she could hire her own assistant.

with a bigger law firm in Amsterdam. It was an opportunity I had worked hard for, but it was then I began to realize I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life being a lawyer,” De Pape recalled. Listening to the presence of his own creative mind and what his heart was telling him to do, six years ago De Pape embarked on a journey to make a documentary about how people find their true purpose in life. “I got the idea from watching an episode of Oprah (Winfrey) interviewing Maya Angelou, and they were talking about that very topic, finding your purpose in life,” he recalled. From that inspiration, he started out with the intent to film an 18-minute documentary about listening to what our heart is telling us, interviewing well known

Baptiste De Pape
people on the subject from Bishop Desmond Tutu and author Deepak Chopra to famed chimpanzee researcher Jane Goodall and relationships book author Dr. John Gray. But as his interest in the topic deepened and his interview list grew, De Pape ended up with an 84-minute documentary
The Power Of The Heart. He had collected so much material that couldn’t be included in the film that it spawned him to write a follow-up book of the same title. De Pape will attend a special screening of the film here tonight (Friday) at The Forum Kelowna, 1317 Ethel St., 6:30 p.m. He will participate in a question and answer session with the audience after the film along with a guest presentation by Dirk Terpstra explaining how your emotions have an impact on your physical and emotional well being, including a HeartMath demonstration. For De Pape, the answer to finding your
purpose in life comes from listening to your heart, rather than following a linear way of thinking to arrive at a conclusion. “It’s not something new. Spiritual leaders throughout our history have been telling us the same thing. Everyone is wired differently and made up of their own unique blueprint, so how you listen to your heart is different. “People I interview in the book say they find it writing, or in prayer, or in silence. In Jane Goodall’s experience, she tapped into those feelings while in nature.” De Pape said he has come to understand the
connection between our brain and our heart—that you think more clearly when your heart is filled with love and gratitude, as opposed to stress or anger. He says the more loving we try to be, our brain capacity opens up and we become more intelligent in our thinking. When we feel stressed, he says our brains shut down and it becomes harder to process thought and information. De Pape said his next project will be a combination of a film called The Power Of The Heart For Children, and a companion book titled Manifesting From The Heart.
ATV ACCIDENT
Father finds Peachland son’s body Dale Boyd Contributor
The body of a man who went missing after flipping an ATV in the Trout Creek area was found earlier this week by his father. Peachland man David Shackleton, 33, was presumed
drowned after falling off his ATV into Trout Creek just west of Summerland on April 16. Police and Penticton Search and Rescue Crews called off the search due to high river flows. RCMP released a statement saying family continued the search and Shackleton’s body was
reportedly discovered by his father on May 15. The body was recovered by search and rescue crews and the coroner also attended. The body was found in Trout Creek approximately 15 kilometres west of Princeton/Summerland Road.

Seeking input on Glenmore rec park plans
CHEFS FROM A12
Kelowna residents are invited to view plans for the first phase of Glenmore Recreation Park at an upcoming information session on Wednesday, May 25, 3:30 to 6:30 p.m., at the The Abbey Church, 228 Valley Rd.
The evening begins with a sparkling reception of Summerhill Pyramid wines and canapés prepared and served by students of Okanagan College Culinary Arts and junior chef members of the Okanagan Chefs Association. Urban Fare has donated the ingredients for the students’ culinary creations. The live auction features outdoor and culinary adventure packages such as a guided helicopter trip, a ranch tour on horseback, fishing for pink salmon on Vancouver Island and an Iron Chef battle. The evening wraps up with a dance with Cover2-Cover. Five-time Juno Award winner vocalist Julie Masi will join band members Jim Rhindress, Tony Koenen, Mike Kleineberg
and Dan Marcelino to bring the dance floor alive with classic rock favourites and injections of new country, blues and R&B. Proceeds from the event will benefit The Nature Trust of BC’s land conservation efforts in the Okanagan including the antelope-brush conservation area, Vaseux Lake complex, parts of Okanagan Mountain Park, and fund the Conservation Youth Crew. Each summer, young people are hired for restoration work on Nature Trust properties. Tickets are $175. Those wishing to help conservation efforts, in lieu of attending the event can make a donation to The Nature Trust of BC. To donate or purchase tickets call 1-866-2887878 or go online at naturetrust.bc.ca.
“The future park is designed to provide recreation space and facilities to the residents of Glenmore and the larger community,” said Andrew Gibbs, with the City of Kelowna. “This phase of the project
will include the construction of two large grass sports fields, an access road and space for parking.” The project is currently in the design phase. Construction of the park, located at the
intersection of Longhill and Valley roads, is anticipated to begin in 2017. Staff will be available to answer questions about the park as well as the roundabout planned at the intersection of Valley, Cross and Longhill roads.

It’s at 7 p.m., May 24, in the downtown Kelowna Library meeting room, 1380 Ellis St. The event is cosponsored by the Okanagan Regional Library and the Okanagan Xeriscape Association. The 45-minute presentation is titled Plants that Shine: My favourite water-wise plants, chosen for easycare, long-bloom and/or long season of interest. My focus is on plants that can grow without supplemental irrigation once established. They have evolved to be my favourites because I don’t like to water and my current garden is in fast-draining, sandy soil. I don’t have an automatic system, so I’m a hose dragger if water is needed. Many of these plants can thrive in the reflected heat of rock mulch. While I am not a fan of rock mulch, it’s important to use plants that do well in such conditions.

It’s also important to use the appropriate rock product to minimize maintenance tasks. Pea gravel or screened crusher chips are both easy to weed out of and act like soil. A few large feature rocks could be added for structural interest. Lava rock, river rock, shale, etc., are all difficult to weed out of. Even with landscape fabric under them, weed seeds and soil will blow in. Weeds will grow, creating a nasty maintenance chore or, if left, an ugly mess. Another consideration when using rock mulch is to avoid using plants that drop a lot of debris or seeds into the rocks, making for difficult cleanup and the growth of unwanted seedlings. The worst place to use rock mulch is under a deciduous tree. A friend solved the problem of autumn leaf drop into rock mulch by placing unsightly tarps under his huge tree from September to November.

The final push to Rio is on for James Turner. Over the next six weeks, the 22-year-old from Kelowna hopes to chase down the Olympic standard in the men’s decathlon. In the 10-event discipline, Turner needs to compile 8,100 points or more, as well as rank among the top three athletes in Canada to qualify for the Brazil games. Last month in California, Turner took another big step in the right direction with a personal best of 7,776 points at the Mt. SAC combined events meet. The performance included PBs in both the pole vault and long jump and gave the KSS grad an added boost of confidence as he aims for his first trip to the Olympic Games. “I feel great,” said Turner, who recently completed his fourth and final year at the University of Toronto. “I’m as fast as I’ve ever been, as explosive as I’ve ever been, now I just have to get competitive ready. “I’ve got some little meets here and there to get my fitness back, and focus on those two things. I feel confident and very excited.” Turner, who capped off his university career by winning the CIS men’s decathlon title in March, has been training this spring in Kelowna with the Okanagan Athletics Club, coach Pat SimaLedding, and his brother, Rostam Turner. Turner said the amenities of home are providing the ideal

It’s a great environment for me to be in, hard to beat.” Turner is hoping to peak for June 17 to 19 when he and Rostam compete in decathlon at
the Canadian Combined Events Championships in Ottawa. If Turner doesn’t reach the Olympic standard next month, he’ll have one more chance at a meet in France in early July. Still, as much as Rio represents a lifelong goal for Turner, he’s focusing more on the process and less on the desired end result. “I’m not even thinking about Rio, really,” said Turner, the 2014 Canadian senior men’s decathlon champ. “I’m just trying to put together
the best score possible and let things take care of themselves.” Turner is one of several local athletes who train with the Okanagan Athletics Club’s highperformance stream. Due to the high cost of travel for these athletes, the OAC is in the process of raising funds to support them. To be a donor or for more information, email eledding@shaw.ca.

After attending the BCFC club’s spring camp last weekend in Kelowna, the 5-foot-10, 175-pound receiver from Halifax had no regrets with his decision. “I love it here,â€? Ishani said while taking in the view of Kelowna from the Apple Bowl. “It was a big decision, a big move for me. (Assistant coach) Nathan Mollard reached out to me, they wanted me out here, and I was happy to come. “I’m hoping to make a big impact right away,â€? he added. “I’m young, I’m a rookie and it’ll be tough‌but I feel like I’m ready.â€?
Stroda said. “The transition from junior to senior class in throws brings its challenges. Stroda is competing in a series of U23 hammer events in Germany, while doing a two-month internship. He competed at the prestigious FraenkischCrumbach Hammer Throw event last weekend in Germany, with U23 world-class throwers in his class from New Zealand, Australia, the UK and a strong German
Kelowna’s Aaron Stroda is off to promising start to the new outdoor track and field season. The 20-year-old UBCO engineering student, last year’s top Canadian junior hammer thrower and national champion, started 2016 with a 58.44 metre season opener at the local twilight meet end of April in Kelowna. “I am happy to establish my seniors performance baseline close to the 60 metres this year, early this season,�
4TH ANNUAL WEEKEND
Halifax product Kian Ishani hopes to be a key receiver this season for the BCFC’s Okanagan Sun. Prior to heading west, Ishani attended the Mount Allison University Mounties’ spring camp in Sackville, NB, but quickly decided Kelowna and the junior game would be better a fit. “Mt. Allison was good, but it wasn’t for me,� he said. “A lot of the guys there were older, I’m just 18, so I thought I might as well play junior, have a good experience and learn from the coaches here. Hopefully when I do move to CIS, I can have a bigger impact.�
Ishani, who played high school football with the very successful Citadel program in Halifax, should help to compensate for the graduations of key Sun receivers Kyle Kawamoto and Kyle Patchell. After watching him perform over two days at spring camp, new Sun head coach Ben Macauley said Ishani came as advertised. “He’s one of those playmaker guys, he’s a little bit undersized but physically he’s more
contingent. He was joined for the competition by his Canadian training ‘sister’, Commonwealth winner and Canadian record holder Sultana Frizell who is competing to make Olympic standards. Stroda will be returning to home soil at the end of June to compete at nationals and the BC Championships in early July. He is currently ranked No. 2 in Canada.
mature than a lot of the players,� said Macauley. “We’re really excited about what he’s bringing to the team.� And for Ishani, the feeling towards Macauley and the Sun is mutual. “Ben’s a great guy and a great coach,� he said. “Just being in the locker room, the guys are great, it feels like a family. When they do the cheer ‘family on three’, they’re not kidding.� Ishani will join the Sun for main training camp in early July.

For more information about Kiel or the fundraiser telephone 250-864-2341 or email tracykowch@yahoo.com. *** Another fundraiser worthy of your support is the BrainTrust Canada Helmet Safety Program. The Association of Canadian Travelers and Commercial Travelers are hoping to fund helmets for use in Kelowna, thereby decreasing preventable brain injuries. Other partners involved in this initiative include the City of Kelowna bylaw department and Kelowna RCMP bike squad. To launch the program, Wednesday, May 25, will be declared Helmet Safety Day by the City of Kelowna. As part of Bike to Work/School Week, a fundraising barbecue, sponsored by Urban Systems, will take place Friday, June 3, at Tree Brewing Institute, 1346 Water St., from 4 to 6 p.m., with donations accepted for burgers in support of BrainTrust Canada and helmets for youth in Kelowna. BrainTrust Canada is a non-profit association that provides community rehabilitation to individuals with brain injury in the Okanagan, and also has a strong focus on brain injury education and prevention. For more info visit braintrustcanada.com or contact Magda Kapp at 250-762-3233, ext109. *** From fundraising to just plain fun, two musical events to watch for on the near horizon. On Thursday, May 26, Cowboy Bob will perform at the Grateful Fed, 509 Bernard Ave. Cowboy Bob is a group comprised of three former Cruzeros members: Gary
Smyth, Curtis Tulman, and Rod Miller. Led by Tulman, Cowboy Bob play oldtime country, bluegrass, roots, and early contemporary hits from the 1930s to today. They are a very talented and fun trio to watch and well worth the effort. *** Another musical evening pegged to be worthy features a unique Leonard Cohen tribute duo. Oliver Swain and Glenna Garramone, B.C. singer/songwriters in their own right, will perform at The Forum on Wednesday, June 8. Swain is a Juno and WCMA nominated Americana folk musician while Garramone plays piano and guitar, and puts on her tap shoes for performances as well. With a style somewhere between Keith Jarrett and Joni Mitchell, Garramone’s songwriting earned her the grand prize in the 2010 Artswells Song Writing Contest. Tickets are available at the door or at the Grateful Fed. *** Finally, a hearty congratulations to the OK Corral and contest host Trudy Jane Janicki for a superb show Wednesday night. I was one of four judges asked to take part in the Road to Rock’n River Talent Search, which will wrap up June 15 at The Corral. Gordon James, Deb Stone, Curtis Tulman, and myself were challenged in picking out the top two performers from the lineup of seven entered. At the end of the night Mitch Zorn and Tiegan Gayse advanced to the next round. One more qualification round will take place next Wednesday at the Corral before the finals on June 15.

Road safety intolerance Each of us has or likely will be touched personally by a motor vehicle crash in our lives. If there was some abhorrent driving behaviour that led to the crash, such as impaired driving or street racing, venomous feelings are directed at the perpetrator, with calls for the toughest consequences possible. If not, if it was “just an accident,” we tend to be apathetic. That apathy is totally understandable. Crashes happen, literally, all the time. It works out to approximately one crash every couple minutes. ICBC statistics say approximately 260,000 crashes occur per year. The magnitude of the loss represented by those crashes is absolutely mind boggling. There’s our mandatory Autoplan insurance premiums we all pay. These premiums to pay for liability insurance. Liability insurance provides for money to compensate others for losses if we, ourselves, are the cause of “just an accident.” But the cost of liability
Achieving Justice PAUL HERGOTT insurance is a small part of the big picture. If you add up the cost of emergency services, health care, loss of productivity and all other “dollars and cents” losses arising from car crashes, you come to billions of dollars per year. A 2007 Transport Canada study estimates $8.8 billion in losses to British Columbians alone. Those dollars and cents are totally apart from the personal losses suffered by those touched by crashes. Instead of motivating change, the magnitude of the problem seems to have the opposite effect. When there’s that much of a torrent of water coming down Niagara Falls, what can we do to stop that flow? Besides, accidents happen, the inevitable result of vehicles on roads. Do you find it interesting that we don’t tolerate accidents in the
workplace like we do those on the roads? WorksafeBC jumps into action to identify the causes of workplace accidents so as to come up with strategies to avoid them. Safer procedures are identified and put into place, there is mandatory safety training, etc. The simple truth is that the vast majority of those 260,000 crashes that occur every year would be avoided if each of us turned up the dial of our own, personal, “paying attention to the road ahead of us” knob. If we simply turned up that knob, making a conscious effort to pay increased attention to the road ahead of us, those distractive behaviours would naturally stop. If we continue to leave the knob alone, the infection will continue to do its damage and the torrent of water will continue to flow. The first step to turning up the knob, in my view, is to stop thinking of crashes as accidents. The word, arguably,
is loaded by phrases like “accidents happen,” and “it’s just an accident.” The RCMP, as I understand it, have long taken the word
“accident” out of their vocabulary when referring to road traffic incidents. Is “accident” really a loaded word? Would the universal avoidance of

Habitat for Humanity Okanagan will put on an information session and demonstration of insulated concrete forms on behalf of the Women in Trades program at Okanagan College. The session takes place Saturday, May 21 from 10 a.m. to noon, at 4912 Princeton Ave. in Peachland. The use of insulated concrete forms is unique, in that the form stays in place once the concrete is poured and adds significantly to the overall insulation value. The result is a building envelope that is air-tight and saves substantially on heating and cooling for Habitat’s partner families.
BEYOND THE BELL PROGRAM
Helping kids struggling with life skills For one West Kelowna family, the Okanagan YMCA Beyond the Bell program is making a big difference in their lives. Beyond The Bell is an after-school initiative aimed at kids facing challenges with social or learning skills. Participants are selected by the school principal and attend the program three afternoons each week. Currently, the program is operating at George Pringle Elementary in West Kelowna and is entirely funded by donors in the community. For Tanya, the impact on her daughter Sophia has been dramatic. Now in her second year attending the Beyond the Bell program, Sophia is on a path to success. “I can’t even describe to you the difference in my daughter. She is kind of a nervous child and

attitude is so positive.” “YMCA Beyond the Bell is proven to help children with critical social skills, literacy, math, nutrition and more,”added Allyson Graf, general manager community and strategic initiatives with the YMCA of Okanagan. “However, more children in the Okanagan need assistance than we can currently provide. We need financial support from the community to maintain and grow this program into the future.” Many of the kids who attend Beyond The Bell come from low-income households and haven’t grown up with the same resources as their peers. Without access to early learning opportunities such as preschool or extracurricular activities, kids often enter kindergarten behind and the achievement gap only gets larger from there. The Okanagan Y wants to ensure that every child has access to programs for their health and
development regardless of their financial circumstance. If you want to help make a difference in a child’s life, you can. The 11th annual YMCA Cycle for Strong Kids fundraiser takes place on Sunday, May 29, at the H2O Adventure + Fitness Centre in Kelowna. Sign up today to ride a stationary bike for 45 minutes and raise pledges for your ride. New this year, families can sign up and take part in an easy, scenic family bike ride along the Mission Greenway. All proceeds from the event will help children, individuals and families in the Okanagan. To register or learn more, visit the website ymcaokanagan.ca. “Sophia and I are so grateful for the program and to the donors that fund it because we couldn’t otherwise afford an after school program. It cam e at the perfect time in Sophia’s life,” said Tanya.

Wild Yukon calls with its bright lights, not-so-big cities Alan Solomon
ALAN SOLOMON
contributor
An early-spring ‘flightseeing’ experience reveals the nearly inaccessible mountains and glaciers of Yukon’s Kluane National Park.
They had come back, some of them, for a second night to see the northern lights. The night before had been a mixed but satisfying-enough experience. That night, a couple of dozen people from all over the world—Australia, Singapore, the Philippines, and even from exotic places such as Louisiana—had been bused by a tour company to this broad, snow-covered hayfield 30 minutes out of Whitehorse, away from the Canadian town’s streetlights that, few as there are, nonetheless pollute the Yukon’s heavenly darkness. That night, they got a quick flash of aurora borealis when they arrived around 10 p.m. Then, nothing. Four hours later, at the tour’s designated quitting time, most had hauled themselves and their cameras away from the field and warming house and campfire onto the return bus when someone shouted. “There they go!” And the people were off the bus. “We stayed another 40 minutes,” said a guide, Tom Thurmer (www.northerntales.ca). “It turned out really nice. I saw some of their digital photos of the northern lights. They turned out really nice.” But this was another night. My lone designated lights night. This time there was no 10 p.m. tease, and clouds foretold the worst. Between upward glances at a starless sky, there was time to talk. Thurmer first came to the Yukon from Germany as a tourist, in 1980. “I read too many Jack London stories,” he said with a little laugh. “Seriously, that’s what brought me up here. I looked around and said, ‘Wow! This is cool!’ “ He came back seven years later. He stayed. John Ostashek is a bush pilot who does ‘flightseeing’ tours out of Burwash Landing, a dot on the Alaska Highway near Haines Junction, Yukon. “I grew up here, then moved away for 25 years,” said Ostashek, 48. He’d been living in Fort Nelson, a gas and oil town in British Columbia. Then, since 2007, he wasn’t. “Most people that come to the Yukon and spend any amount of time, many’ll leave—and most of them come back. “There’s something about this place that just draws us to it.” What is it about this place? The territory (38,000 people—28,000 of them in Whitehorse, the capital—plus moose, caribou, elk, goats, foxes, bears [black and grizzly], sled dogs and lots of black spruce) is too unpopulated, still, to be designated a province. It’s about the size of California (population 38 million). Locals are split between calling it “The Yukon”—as in the old radio/TV show “Sgt. Preston of...”—and the official name, just “Yukon.” The argument being: “You don’t say ‘the Ontario,’ ‘the Saskatchewan.’” Its international airport is in Whitehorse. Regular flights arrive most days from Edmonton and Vancouver; what makes it international, late spring into fall, are weekly flights from Frankfurt for people who read too much Jack London. His The Call of the Wild and White Fang—set in the Yukon’s Klondike River region during its brief gold rush heyday, 1896-1903—still inspire. London’s cabin is a museum in Dawson City.

Whitehorse works as a rest stop, especially for voyageurs hauling themselves along the Alaska Highway to or from that Promised Land. There are lodgings in Whitehorse, and surprisingly good restaurants, and outfitters and day-adventure companies and gas stations and museums and a Wal-Mart. A lot of travelers just stay overnight, refuel and move on. Which amuses Thurmer, immigrant sky guide. “I like to joke around that, you know, they have ‘the Last Frontier’ on the Alaska license plate? A lot of Americans drive through here on their way to Alaska,” said Thurmer, “and on their way there they pass the Last Frontier. This is the Last Frontier.” And that, apparently, is what grabs people.

Three 1901 buildings—a former hotel, photo studio and hardware store— remain deliberately unrestored on 3rd Avenue in Dawson City, giving visitors an unvarnished sense of the town’s Gold Rush past. engineering, he worked for a time in Winnipeg, wanted adventure, flew to Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories, looked out the airplane window, saw flatness, stayed on the plane and continued to Whitehorse. Today, 35 years later, he and a partner operate Yukon Brewing on the edge of town (www. yukonbeer.com). “I had no idea what the Yukon would be until we landed here, and I said, ‘Oh, jeez, there’s mountains and a river and trees!’ “ he recalled.

population 2,000, has a few gold rushera remnants, hardy residents who can handle the occasional dips to 40-below (C or F), a few places to stay and eat, frontier-style dance hall girls in a modest (but Canada’s first) casino and several places to imbibe—one of which, in the Downtown Hotel bar, features (ready for this?) the Sourtoe cocktail. Garnished with a severed human toe. A tradition since 1973, the current toe is No. 11. Said Terry Lee, the toe’s current keeper and captain of the ritual: “It is disgusting, isn’t it?” In rational weather, the Yukon—or just Yukon— is hiking and climbing and biking and fishing and wildlife viewing and canoeing and scenic drives and other outdoor pleasures. December and January can be pretty grim, but winter temperatures typically begin to moderate in February, and from then into April is a time to celebrate such seasonal pursuits as snowshoeing, crosscountry skiing, those northern lights—and mushing. “The draw of the Yukon,” said Gary Burdess, who let me do two-plus hours, guided, on one of his dogsleds (www.skyhighwilderness. com), “is the lack of all the boundaries. There’s an incredible amount of rivers and lakes. And you don’t have to go far—you just hike into them.” Or fly over them. Ostashek (www. rockingstar.ca) takes folks over Kluane National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home of Mount Logan—Canada’s tallest peak—the largest ice fields outside the polar caps, lots of glaciers and zero roads. From up there, you can see Alaska. Ostashek is staying in Yukon. “You have to kind of like doing outdoor things,” he said. “We love it.” The return to the US went through Vancouver airport. “So what brought you to Canada?” asked the customs agent, in Canadian. “I’m a travel writer,” I said, “and I came to do a story on Yukon.” “Oh—way up there, eh? Did you see the northern lights?” “No, and I’m (miffed).” “Well, then,” said the Canadian. “You’ll just have to come back.” Alan Solomon is an American freelance writer.

Five wonderful ways to tan on the open road
Striking out on a sun-drenched highway in a convertible has to be a summer dream for many of us. People talk about the joy of the breeze blowing through their hair but for many of us that’s a long-past fantasy. By the time I was able to afford a cabriolet – if we can be fancy for a moment – I too was topless, as in no hair. It’s a different story today with convertibles available for wallets of all sizes. Retractable hard tops abound and even soft tops keep out winter storms. For 2016, here are five recommendations for those in the market for a topless model, car that is. With the exception of my number one choice, the other four cars don’t appear in any specific order of preference. People

It’s now powered with a SKYACTIV-G 2.0 L DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine that will offer all you need to indulge your highway fantasy and sip gas at 8.8/6.9L/100 kms (city/hwy). Offered in three trims, starting at $31,900 and topping our $39,200 for the GT version.

Mazda MX5 When Mazda introduced this little roadster 25 years ago as a Miata here, there were some chuckles among aficionados. Underpowered and undersized, were among the more complimentary comments cast in its direction. Boy, were the know-alls Keith Morgan wrong. Yes, it had some deficits but it has always been fun with a capital F. And it’s since sold a million, receiving more than 200 awards on the way to becoming the best-selling two-seater in the world and World Car of the Year in 2016. The fourth generation MX-5, as it is now known, is one heck of a good looker. Earlier examples were, wrongly in my opinion, dismissed as girly cars. There’s no way you can dismiss this edition as anything but a fine, sporty cars worthy of its roadster descriptor.

Ford Mustang It’s the original Pony car and it returns to that heritage in its aggressive, sporty, muscle-car styling. There’s a range of engines including the base 3.7-litre V6, a 2.3-litre EcoBoost and 5.0-litre V8. The Ecoboost equipped version is going to set you back a minimum of $40,448 and the V8 GT has starting sticker price of $49,448. But let’s talk about the base V6 with the 6-speed manual and its minimalist $31,398 base price. Unless you want to race or show off, it does the job and at a relatively miserly 12.6 /8.5 hwy/10.8 combined L/100km for a beast it’s a deal.
Chevrolet Camaro Staying with beef, the Chevrolet Camaro convertible offers some segment leading standard fare. It has a fully automatic hard tonneau top with the capability of opening or closing at speeds up to 48 km/h. When in place, it resembles the coupe version. Offered in LT and SS versions, it’s lighter than the previous model and offers a greater powertrain range, the base being a 2-litre, turbo charged 4-cylinder engine matched to a six-speed manual transmission and it starts at $38,650. An all-new 3.6-litre V-6 version is an
Question of the week…
option as is a monster 6.2L V8, but that big guy could take you into the mid-$50,000 range. Drive the base model before you buy because the base powerplant may be plenty powerful for your needs.
What would be your dream convertible choice and why?
Fiat 500C The Italian mini-car starts at $22,995 and features an economical MultiAir 16V I-4 engine, matched to a 5-speed manual transmission. Fuel economy is around 7.6/5.9 L/100km (city/hwy) However, you are not going to buy this car to ease your fuel budget. Ownership is a statement of style and it’s a car in which to be seen around town. At the risk of inviting a charge of sexism it is a girly car.
Safety Tip: If you’re taking a road trip this May long weekend, be realistic about travel times as highways will be busier than ever. Plan rest stops every 1.5 to 2 hours to avoid becoming fatigued while driving and check drivebc. ca for road and weather conditions before setting out.
BMW 2-Series Finally, one of the more affordable Bimmers, though with a starter price of around $45,000 that might be debatable. The BMW 228i xDrive Cabriolet and M235i Cabriolet ($51,900) are hot looking sub-compact cars and a joy to drive. A turbocharged 241 horsepower 2-litre engine mated to an 8-speed sport automatic transmission propels the 228i. It will accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 5.7 seconds, while delivering fuel economy ratings of 7.2/10.6 L/100 km (city/hwy). The M235i derives its go-get’em performance from a TwinPower Turbo inline-six, also equipped with an 8-speed auto tranny, offering remarkable fuel economy figures – 8.1/11.8 L/100 km (city/hwy). The zero to 100 km/h rating shaves 0.5 seconds off the 228i. Don’t forget to wear a hat!

TV crime fighters put Ford Escape under surveillance By Keith Morgan The new 2017 Ford Escape teamed with a pair of primetime crime fighters to give viewers custom content that has aired this month, in pieces jointly created by Ford Motor Co. and NBC. The Blacklist actress Mazhan Marnò, who plays FBI agent Samar Navabi on the hit show, appeared in an Escape for a threeweek series of commercials during the show’s broadcast. The series of original content ads began May 5, during The Blacklist. The narrative highlighted various features on the 2017 Escape, including the available SYNC® 3 driver-connectivity system.

By Lorne Drury Toyota has long been the leader in hybrid technology with seven hybrids in its lineup and another six in the Lexus fleet. But in addition to the four Prius variants, Toyota has been able to turn its Camry and Highlander models into hybrid success stories. So it comes as no surprise that the compact RAV4 crossover is the latest Toyota to get the hybrid treatment for 2016. The RAV4 itself has been around more than 20 years ago and spawned the compact SUV revolution. Given the success of the Camry Hybrid, Toyota has high hopes the RAV4 Hybrid will also be a hit among compact crossover buyers. The five-passenger RAV4 is Toyota’s second-best selling vehicle behind the Corolla. The hybrid tested here, comes from Japan, however Toyota has announced the next generation hybrid will be built in Woodstock, Ont. Toyota uses the same hybrid synergy drive that powers the Lexus NX 300h AWD. Power comes from a 2.5-litre inline four-cylinder Atkinson cycle engine, combined with a pair of hightorque electric motors and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The second electric motor on the rear axle powers the rear wheels when slippage is detected. The hybrid system combines to produce 194 net hp and 206 lb/ft of torque with a Natural Resources Canada fuel efficiency rating of 6.9/7.6/7.2 L/100 km city/ highway/combined. This is more power and better fuel economy than its gasoline-only powered RAV4 stablemate. The RAV4 Hybrid has a towing capacity of 795 kg (1,750 lb) and is nearly a
second faster in the 0-100 km/h sprint than the gasoline-only variant. Energy for the hybrid’s electric system is produced through regenerative braking and stored in a nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery pack for use when the vehicle is in electric mode (EV) at low speeds. EV is one of four selectable drive modes along with Normal, Sport and Eco, allowing drivers to dial up vehicle efficiency and responsiveness. Two trim levels are offered in the RAV4 Hybrid, an XLE that we tested and a topshelf Limited. Prices start at $34,465 for the XLE and $38,265 for the Limited. In contrast, the gasoline version of the XLE AWD starts at $31,900 and the Limited AWD $37,750. The XLE Hybrid comes very well decked out with comfort features like dual zone automatic climate six-speaker audio system with 6.1-inch screen, power rear hatch, heated front seats, power moon roof and more. The upmarket Limited features a seven-inch display screen with integrated XM satellite radio and navigation system, leather seating, and LED headlamps. The Limited can be further upgraded. So how does the RAV4 Hybrid drive? Actually, quite well for a compact crossover that places fuel efficiency ahead of performance. Acceleration is brisk with almost instant power; the CVT transmission is a bit noisy on hard acceleration but mellows out at speed; the vehicle handles most driving situations without fuss or bother. I noted that the regenerative braking was much less noticeable than on many hybrid vehicles.

It is also nearly 300 pounds lighter than its predecessor for improved driving feel and greater fuel efficiency.

Chevrolet lets customers see the future Chevrolet is introducing the industry’s first predictive technology enabling your vehicle to warn you about a potential maintenance need before it occurs. The technology is similar in concept to that on the Boeing 787, which can send in-flight messages to ground crews alerting them of parts needing inspection before the plane arrives. For Chevrolet drivers who opt-in to the service, OnStar
Proactive Alerts continually monitors the health of the vehicle’s starter motor, fuel pump and 12-volt battery. If anomalies are detected, OnStar will notify drivers to take their vehicle in for service. Proactive Alerts collects a small batch of data each time the vehicle is started, and monitors it. Then, sophisticated systems analyze and refine billions of pieces of data, accumu-
the hybrid system. It can power the Malibu Hybrid up to 85 kilometres per hour (53 mph) on electricity alone. The gasoline-powered engine automatically comes on at higher speeds and high loads to provide additional power. In addition to the drive unit, the Malibu Hybrid also shares the 2016 Volt’s blended regenerative braking system, which provides maximum kinetic energy recovery during braking to be stored in the battery system to help maintain charge.

2016 Maserati S Q4 Quattroporte. steeped in the romance of the origins of motorsport that has all but been erased by emotionless computers on four wheels. From the start of the company by the six brothers, the Neptune Trident, legendary races against Ferrari in the 1950s, Maserati has had a cache like few others. All of this can be found in the 2016 Quattroporte S Q4 tested here. Although the Quattroporte goes back to 1963, the current model and its more powerful sister, the GTS, were introduced at this year’s Toronto auto show. The S Q4 (all-wheel-drive) uses a Ferrari-sourced 3.0-litre twin turbo V6 with 404 hp and 406 lb/ft of torque with an eight-speed transmission with a top speed of 383 km/h (175 mph) and a 0-100 km/h time of 4.9 seconds.
JIM ROBINSON
More than five meters long (5,262 mm) with a wheelbase of 3,171 mm, this is a full-size sedan with gorgeous lines from the low wide open mouthed grille with Trident, to the muscularly haunched arch over the rear wheels, all in an optional ($2,450) Grigio Maratea grey just right to
set off the optional ($4,900) 20-inch GTS wheels and blood red calipers ($880). Inside, its Italian leather with liberal use of real chrome accents and huge leather front seats, puts it in an Italian class all its own. The Quattroporte was effortless in gobbling up more than 200 Highway 401 km
surprising me with average fuel consumption of 8.5L/100 km which is about what I would expect from a CUV, not a super sedan. All this changes when you put the Quattroporte in manual gear selection and activate the sport suspension mode. The steering wheel mount-

OF THE
ed paddles are large and exquisitely styled—a work of art in itself. Hit the gas and the Quattroporte vaults forward, the throttle blipping on each up and down shift. The big brakes coupled with the manual down shift haul the Quattroporte down like popping a drag chute—all very impressive for a big sedan weighing in at 1,920 km (4,233 lb). Inside you don’t really hear the “brapp” crackle of the dual-path sport exhaust system. The Q4 tested here starts at $121,400 and with all the options topped out at $143,550 not including shipping. For those wanting the ultimate in Italian panache, there is the custom silk interior fashioned by Ermenegildo Zegna. Available in three colours, these silk interiors are specially outfitted and woven, much like a fine Italian suit. The Quattroporte also includes leading edge safety and amenities like engine start-stop technology, blind spot monitoring with rear cross traffic alert, power trunk with handsfree feature, standard premium Harman Kardon 900-watt audio system or optional Clari-Fi with the optional 1,280-watt Bowers & Wilkins sound system and SIRI Smart Personal Assistant. Put it all together and the Quattroporte S Q4 is the culmination of Italian style with Maserati exclusivity. Best: Superb styling, sumptuous surrounding. Worst: Awkward shift lever. Interesting: Luxury with supercar performance the Germans can’t match.
Available in most new Ford vehicles with 6-month pre-paid subscription.

remix for So Cruel. Lead vocalist, Matt Vlahovich said, “We approached our long time friend and DJ/producer Alixander III (formerly Azari & III) to do a remix for our track ‘So Cruel,’ knowing he’d flip it on its head and bring an unconventional approach to the mix. His remix uses sporadic elements of the vocals, and builds on Alixander III’s extensive knowledge of house and techno.” Following the success of their debut full-length release The Gates, Young Empires was nominated for Breakthrough Group of the Year at the 2016 Juno Awards. The band recently wrapped up an extensive tour across Ontario and Quebec, supported by Banners and BLAJK. The Kelowna concert stop will be part of a Western Canada tour that starts

Angry Birds should beat movie jinx Movies based upon videogames have had many more failures than successes starting with Super Mario Brothers in 1993 to last month’s Ratchet & Clank. The most successful has been the Resident Evil series which sees the sixth and final (?) instalment coming out next January. Some middling successes include the two Tomb Raider movies (a reboot is coming soon), two Mortal Kombat movies, two Hitman movies and even though Prince of Persia had the highest gross of all, it was still considered a disappointment. The other constant is the disdain the critics have had for all the videogame movies—that is until this weekend with the release of The Angry Birds Movie. Based upon the annoyingly addictive mobile game, the movie is set on an island populated almost entirely by happy, flightless birds. However, there are three birds that are

During their investigation, they uncover a shocking criminal conspiracy at the highest circles of power. Watch for great critical reviews but more people going to the other adult comedy coming out this weekend. But do yourself a favour, see The Nice Guys before seeing Neighbors 2. Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising reunites Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne as the hapless couple who are expecting their second child and are looking to sell their house in the now quiet neighborhood. However, when a newly established hard-partying sorority moves in next door, they call upon their old nemesis (Zac Efron) to help battle the sorority sisters. It is not being as
embraced by the critics, but should please the fans of the original. Rose Byrne can be seen in a different role in the acclaimed comedydrama The Meddler. Susan Sarandon stars as a widow who moves from New Jersey to Los Angeles to be closer to her daughter (Byrne), but for the latter, it is too close for comfort. After meddling in her daughter’s life, she soon meets other people who are more in need of her assistance.

Saturday, May 28 8 p.m. Streaming Cafe 596 Leon Ave. Kelowna Singer-songwriter Chris Ho is like a character out of a Wes Anderson film: quirky, deliberate, a full deck of hearts tucked up his sleeve. Abraham’s music is intimate and full of sincerity. Her debut EP release “This Old Heart” is a collection of seductive, sentimental and admirable feeling. Young Benjamins hail from the Canadian prairies. The band is comprised of Neusha Mofazzali, Veronique Poulin and Brynn Krysa. Young Benjamins combine contemporary folk and rock with a subtle dose of pop, creating a sound that is infectious, distinct and refreshing. The group has had the opportunity to perform at festivals such as Hillside Festival, Sled Island, Regina Folk Festival, Ness Creek, SaskTel Jazz Fest, and the POP Montreal festival. The group’s live show and compelling stage presence has begun to
attract some very positive attention for the young band, referred to by some as Saskatchewan’s “indie folk darlings.” All the concerts will be live streamed at show @www.streamingcafe. net and tweet questions/ comments to the artists live to the stage@ streamingcafe.

Art In Action
Every year a special few middle school art students are selected to showcase their work in the Kelowna Art Gallery for the Art in Action Show. It is a phenomenal opportunity for young middle school artists to display their talent alongside senior high school students and to show the community what they are capable of doing. This year the title of the show is “Making the Ordinary Extraordinary” and will run from May 6 to June 14 2016. See photo below from event.
Homeless Night Out – By Bonnie Odell At CNB, we do many things to help our community, including raising awareness and fundraising for things that are important to us. Our school has a ‘Me 2 We’ group, which plans many of our school events and does many of our fundraisers. Currently, students in the group are raising money for “Inn From The Cold”, a homeless shelter in Kelowna. Students are in pairs as they fundraise, and they are only allowed to take donations from people they know, such as relatives and family friends. Our ‘Me 2 We’ group will be doing a ‘Homeless Night Out’. Students are encouraged to raise $100 to participate in the event. At 6:30pm, students are to arrive at the front of the school where they may bring a water bottle but no food or any electronics. They will be camping outside for the whole night. It is sure to be filled with board games and fun songs with the guitar, along with a media presentation about homelessness by a representative of ‘Inn From The Cold’, who will also be answering questions from the students. The only time any of the students will be entering the school is when they need to use the washroom, or when they’re getting ready for lights out or when they’re just waking up. We do all of this in hopes that it will raise awareness for the homeless, and to provide funds to help the Kelowna homeless shelter.
Quidditch at CNB – By Hanna Hartwick
Going Down Memory Lane An Interview with Mr. John Anderson ~ Interview Conducted by: Benjamin Crozier, Catherin Verrier, and Tessa Voigt. Written By: Jemima Harms
It’s the people who make our school great. All these teachers and students, who make it different from all other schools. So when one of these special people leave, it is always sad for one reason or another. Now Mr. Anderson, our band teacher, is leaving CNB and below is just a few of our many questions that we asked him. Mr. Anderson, what was the first instrument you learned how to play? A: That would be guitar, which I taught myself at the age of 14. How many years have you taught at CNB? A: At CNB, 9 years overall 37 years Now, as a band teacher do you have a favourite piece of music? A: No, I like all of them. You have done many band trips, what were the funniest moments? A: Funniest moment is when the people come back and are tired and sleeping. I take pictures of them when they sleep with their mouth open. What made you want to teach music? A: Both of my parents were teachers, but it was a college professor who told me I was the type to teach. First thing you will do when you retire? A: Finish building my basement, it’s been a long time project for me though I was a carpenter before I became a teacher. How would you describe teaching as a job? A: Adults serving children. What do you think is the greatest challenge facing students today? A: Preparing for life, preparing yourself for life. Mr. Anderson is now retiring, already, leaving big shoes to fill. Who it will be, how he will be, what will his replacement do? I don’t know dear reader, but whoever it is, he or maybe it’s a she, will never be exactly like Mr. Anderson. Bye, Mr. Anderson take care and always remember we will miss you.
Interview with Mr. Mark Watson: ~ Interview Conducted by George Morgan. Written By Bonnie Odell
As everyone may know, our dear vice principal, Mr. Watson, has moved on from CNB. It breaks all of our hearts to have to part with such a fabulous vice principal, but alas, we must. Of course, to follow the CNB traditions, we’d like to turn this sad parting into something more jovial. We did a delightful interview where Mr. Watson answered questions about CNB and about himself. What was a favorite memory for you at CNB? A: Mr. Watson promptly answered: My first day, the excitement of day one and a new adventure. Also, the CNB 50 year Remembrance Day ceremony, it was a community effort. Favorite colour? A: Vancouver Canuck Blue. (And with this, we all realize that Mr. Watson is a Canucks fan.) Do you have any embarrassing moments during your time at CNB? A: Every day at CNB, and it’s okay. We need to learn to laugh at ourselves. The last singing assembly was just another. It’s ok to laugh at ourselves. (Thank you, Mr. Watson, this is one of the greatest pieces of advice one can ever give to a middle school student.) Which is more important, teaching or learning? A: Learning, Never stop learning. Some of my best has come from listening to students. (You heard Mr. Watson, guys. Let’s get learning!) In your eyes, what is it about CNB that makes our school unique? Our relationships. How we treat each other, with the RCMP, with Westside First Nations, and West Kelowna. What do you think is the greatest challenge facing students today? A: Growing up in a fast paced world that never slows down. I think I speak for everyone at CNB when I say that Mr. Watson will be dearly missed. We will forever remember his inspirational words and hilarious humor. WATSON YOU ARE AWESOME AND EVERYONE AT CNB LOVES YOU.
For an enriched scholastic experience, there must be an equal amount of education, and the opportunity to express yourself creatively. Of course there are other factors at play, such as the people and the education itself. For Constable Neil Bruce, one of our creative outlets is Quidditch. Perhaps some of you are wondering what Quidditch is, and I’m sure my fellow Harry Potter fans are heaving in dramatic gasps right now. The rudimentary rules of Quidditch were taken into CNB’s muggle version—the term used for nonmagic users—although; sadly no flying brooms are involved. On each team are seven players, consisting of three Chasers, two Beaters, one Keeper and one Seeker. Normally there are four balls, but we have swapped a person for the Golden Snitch. In this fast paced game, the Chaser’s goal is to score on the opposing team using a ball coined the Quaffle. Each goal is worth ten points. The Keeper is the goalie, attempting to block the Quaffle from soaring into one of the three hoops. The Beaters can hit the Chaser with the Bludgers, a ball that despite its name in muggle Quidditch is not dangerous and the Chaser will be out temporarily. Once the Seeker tags the Golden Snitch, that team is awarded 150 points. A Harry Potter Book Club also presides in CNB, and this just shows the commitment that CNB has to satisfy the creative aspect of learning.
What Else Happens Around Constable Neil Bruce Middle School? It is so important to be able to express individuality within your work. Whether it’s an art project, core subject assignment or an extra-curricular, the work produced by students at CNB is as unique as the finger prints of the students themselves. For example, there was a school-wide art and poetry competition for students to help design greeting cards reaching out to the hearts of Japanese students from our visiting sister school, giving them a warm welcome to Canada. Chloe Hauca wrote one of the winning poems:
This is Canada A tall mountain covered in snow, Or a valley with a lake in its center, Even an ocean beach with waves forever, This is Canada. With billowing waterfalls, And wide plains, That stretch on forever, This is Canada. A doe in the forest Or some birds in the sky. This is Canada, And we welcome you!
Kara Purington’s art was selected as one of the two designs for the front of the card.
CNB is just so full of talent! Students are encouraged to throw themselves creatively into their work. Our middle school is all about providing opportunities for students to try new things, express themselves and find where they fit in. By George Morgan & Tessa Voigt
