Gearing up to oppose Cedar waterfront proposal Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
What started as an effort by a few South Pandosy residents to quash a proposed waterfront development on Cedar Avenue has gained momentum. At a public hearing scheduled for next Tuesday, April 5, neighbourhood groups from across Kelowna plan to converge and shoot down city aspirations. “I’ve been dealing with these things for a long time, and this issue has them, they are really generally going to battle city hall on this one,” said John Harling, president of the Glenmore Val-
ley Community Association. Harling is talking about city plans to convert seven properties on the waterfront to a combination of park, commercial and residential space. The crux of the matter, it seems, is that the city plans to sell off a portion of the property to commercial interests, potentially for a four-storey development, so they can finance building a boardwalk, bird habitat and smaller park. But residents would rather it just be cleared for parkland. “There’s a real concern, and it’s not just attacking something for

ICBC and RCMP join forces on Operation Lock Up Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Jon Schubert may be top dog at the province’s auto insurance corporation, but that doesn’t make him impervious to the problems every car own-

er faces—specifically, auto theft. “I once had my vehicle stolen…and you feel violated,” said ICBC’s president and chief executive officer, recalling the strangeness that came from seeing a hypodermic nee-
dle in the back seat of his car, once it was recovered. “I was really angry.” It’s a feeling, and a hefty cost, he says, ICBC wants to put an end to and it should be easier with Operation Lock Up, a program the insurance
agency, along with RCMP, introduced Thursday in Kelowna, Focusing on high theft risk vehicles—pre-2001 Plymouth/ Dodge Rams, Chevrolet/GMC 1500 to 3500s, Plymouth/ Dodge Caravans and Voya-
geurs, and Honda Civics— the insurance agency is getting proactive. Owners of those vehicles will receive a voucher for a free steering wheel lock, as well as prevention tips on actions they can take to protect
their vehicle from theft. Those who get to local policing centres early can also get a free steering wheel lock, while supplies last. See Join A6

Author creates world derived from real-life incident Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS
CANADIAN AUTHOR Emma Donoghue gives a reading from her award winning book, titled Room, at Okanagan College on Thursday afternoon.
Here to speak at the college and university about her latest novel, Room, Emma Donoghue’s first words to the people of Kelowna were oddly fitting. “I’ve never had to take a photograph of the room I was speaking in, but this is quite the room,” said Donoghue, who was short-listed for the Man Booker Prize for her book about a space not so dissimilar to the one she spent Thursday afternoon in, one imagines. The new wooden bubble, which makes the Okanagan College lecture theatre known as The Centre for Dialogue, feels a bit like a world removed from the campus. In the book, Room, Ma and Jack live in their own bubble of a world, in a room Jack has never seen beyond until he and his mother scheme a way for him to break free and discover the lovely place he’s only experienced in pictures. Donoghue opened the afternoon talk by reading from the scene where the boy pitches himself from a rolled up carpet in the back of a truck out into the world he’s never known. “The sky is the most enormous,” said Donoghue in a stunningly animated voice that left her audience with the clear impression she’s
heard this young voice in her head for some time. Originally scheduled to speak at the Okanagan Regional Library branch in downtown Kelowna, the author’s flight was cancelled, due to poor weather, and she was rescheduled to speak on both the OC and UBCO campuses Thursday. Publicity on this latest novel has kept her so busy she’s barely got time to write her next novel— about a murder in San Francisco— and spends near half the day finding ways to politely turn down engagements and requests. Funnily enough, the reality of literary superstardom she’s entered arrived in the form of a novel which could not be more removed from the hyper-connected pressure our new multi-media world places on those who make it. Lauded for it’s brilliant, stripped down dialogue, delivered by the five-year-old character Jack, Room begins in the simplest, yet often most complex, world possible— the relationship between mother and child. This interesting space had quite the impact on Donoghue’s own parenting as well. Her own son, Finn, was four when she heard about the Fritzl case, in which a 42-year-old woman emerged from being confined in a concealed corridor for 24 years by her father, and got inspired.
As her son was five by the time she was writing the book, she borrowed heavily from his speech patterns, trying to figure out the language through his eyes—though her son and the character are quite different. Unlike the few cases of people who have been confined by captors, Donoghue’s story is largely quite clean. She does not go into the damage the child would likely have suffered, choosing instead to make it a book about how strange the world we know and take for granted really is. In doing her research, though, she said governments provided plenty of material from people who are placed in solitary confinement. “Governments are the psychopaths on mass,” she said, adding that cases of those who were placed in solitary confinement taught her that her character should not fall apart until after the stress is gone. It is not until years later that most former prisoners suffer the consequences, she said, noting it is often a social phobia which emerges, though it was this very social contact they earned for when locked away. Donoghue also spoke on the UBC campus Thursday evening. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Rehabilitated hawk to return to Knox Mountain Park haunt Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
A red-tailed hawk injured in Knox Mountain Park has now been rehabilitated and will be released back into the park
on Sunday. The raptor was taken in by the South Okanagan Rehabilitation Centre for Owls about a month ago. SORCO is a non-profit organization supported entirely by donations from
the public, with no government funding. It has been operating for many years on the basis of donations and volunteers’ efforts. The rehab centre takes in injured and orphaned
birds of prey, treats and cares for them so they can be released back into the wild. Every effort is made to release birds to the spot they were found injured so they can reunite with
their mates and go back to hunting in familiar territory. SORCO is not a zoo and is not open to the public. It was built and designed as a hospital and clinic for sick birds. Hu-
man contact causes stress on the birds, particularly damaging when they’re in ill health. To donate to SORCO and learn more about the organization, go to the website at: www.sor-
co.org The public is invited to watch the release now the red-tailed hawk has been returned to good health, at 2 p.m., April 3, inside the park. Bring your camera.

Farmers’ market moves back outside Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
When the Kelowna Farmers’ and Crafters’ Market moves back into the open air, it must be spring. This Saturday, you’ll find it at the corner of Springfield Road and Dilworth Drive, with dozens of vendors selling fruits and vegetables, other farm products, prepared foods and handmade crafts. Market manager Bob Callioux says the market has grown from four vendors in 1995 to 165 today, and markets are held every Wednesday and Saturday mornings and Thursday evenings at the Dilworth Drive location, through until the end of October. The Thursday evening market doesn’t begin until June 2 and concludes Sept. 1. Wednesday and Saturday markets open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Although the market currently operates outside through fall, then moves into the Parkinson Recreation Centre for the winter months, efforts are underway to
find a permanent, year-round location for it. Callioux says the board is working on a business plan and has a particular site in mind, but it’s not expected there’ll be any announcement in the near future. He says there’s a real sense of community at the market where consumers can forge relationships with the farmers who grow their food and the artisans who created a food or other item. All items are handmade, homebaked or farm grown, and they include some of the best products in the Okanagan, he says. He invites people to take the time to have breakfast or lunch there and sample some of the many ethnic foods available from the more than 20 vendors offering prepared foods. “We believe in the experience of farmers’ markets, where the goal is to build a fun atmosphere, which we achieve by hosting numerous festival days, games and community involvement for customers to participate in,” noted Callioux.
THE KELOWNA Farmers’ and Crafters’ Market moves back outside for its Saturday and Wednesday mornings beginning this weekend.

“The goal of the market is to make healthy, nutrient-rich foods available to those living in our community.” The popularity of farmers’ markets is a growing trend. “Consumers see the benefit of eating seasonally and locally, where their favourite foods have been fresh-picked and locally-grown. That makes for higher nutrient value as well as having travelled a shorter distance from producer to consumer, dramatically reducing food-miles,” he commented. Farmers’ markets are also a great economic driver for the community and support local small businesses and the sustainability of agriculture, he noted. Kids love the appearance of Farmer Bob, the market’s mascot, who encourages them to participate in festival events and games and treats them with locally-grown snacks.

City planners have said their proposal is the best way to ensure a lively flow of activity around beaches.

Jane Muskens families do you know of where one parent, usually the father, works out of town in places such as Grande Prairie or Fort McMurray? So what happened? From 1971 to 2006 there has been a downward trend in labour mobility rates to a low of 0.9 per cent in 2004. This contrasts with the 1990s when some provinces saw as many as 3.6 per cent of their workers leave. What is happening today is that some workers will move and others will not. Apparently workers in Quebec and Ontario are the least likely to leave their home province for work. Age is another factor, the younger the worker the more likely they will move for employment but this is changing as young workers without a postsecondary education may find they won’t receive the wage they need to justify leaving home. This is especially an issue today when we are coping with price increases in food and transportation. Those who lived in small towns with less than 15,000 people were more likely to move for employment compared to those living in cities greater than 500,000.
Smaller communities tend to have fewer opportunities for young workers, chances are many moved to either attend college or university, to work or, in some cases, both. The biggest factor influencing mobility rates is the unemployment rate. People will move away if they can’t find work and are enduring economic hardship. In various communities across the country if the unemployment rate increases by one per cent there is a direct correlation with increased labour migration. This is probably why you see so many people move to resource-based growth economies such as Alberta and Northern B.C. Based on income, those with annual incomes of less than $25,000 are more likely to migrate for employment. Those with incomes between $25,000 and $100,000 are more likely to remain. What’s interesting is that those making $100,000 or more were similar to the lower income earners and had a higher rate of labour migration. Other variables that influenced workers to move were loss of EI benefits and receipt of social assistance. Labour mobility is important because it reduces the overall national unemployment rate as workers move to where the jobs are. It also has many advantages in terms of national economic perfor-

mance. Economists would coin it the efficient re-allocation or workers from provinces with lower productivity to provinces with higher productivity. On the other hand, labour mobility tends to increase disparities and leads to a redistribution of human capital from poorer to richer provinces. It also impacts on family dynamics as parents must live away from their children and young families raise their children with the support of grandparents. It can erode our sense of extended family and community, although some would argue that social media and other technology has helped families stay connected. Post-secondary education plays a significant role as it provides workers with greater capacity to take control of their destiny, including where they want to live. With any credential, it’s that paper that will give you the edge you are looking for and that can include staying where you are or moving somewhere else for work.

Retirement beckons for groundbreaking bus driver Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Blazing a smile bright as the headlights on the Greyhound she was stepping out of Wednesday afternoon, Kelowna’s Colleen Snelson bid adieu to her job and took a place in history. “I was one of the first women to drive a Greyhound bus 30 years ago and I was the first female driving instructor 10 years ago,” she said, while in the midst of friends and family who gathered to congratulate her on Wednesday’s ride, which was just as monumental as her first two achievements. That’s when she became the first woman to retire from a full career with Greyhound Canada —something her boss said made her a “groundbreaker.” These day the idea that there are basic gender barriers still being run-over may seem unusual, but
‘‘
BUT I HAVE A FEW STORIES ABOUT THE PASSENGERS —THE GUYS WOULD HARASS YOU, AND THE WOMEN WOULDN’T RIDE WITH YOU. Colleen Snelson
Snelson remembers them well. “It took me three years to get hired, and the guys I worked with were good,” she said. “But I have a few stories about the passengers —the guys would harass you, and the women wouldn’t ride with you.” Some may not have wanted to get on the bus with Snelson at the wheel, but 30 years of exemplary driving proves how
wrong they, and stereotypes about women drivers, really were. “You know, I went to college to do social work, but when I was upset, I’d always go for a drive,” she said, remembering she was living in Northern B.C., when the idea to take a commercial driving course struck her fancy. “It was $30 and I’m glad I’m here—even though I took all those years of college.” From the smiles on the faces of her son and two grandchildren, however, it’s even better knowing she’s at the end of a journey thousands of kilometres long. “I pulled the first trip with her, and my son did the last,” said Snelson’s son, Russ Meyers, recalling that his mother had a busy career that made for strange lifetime highlights. “I spent every Christmas on a Greyhound,” he said.

COLLEEN SNELSON gets a “welcome in” and “job well done” handshake from Rick Peterson, regional manager safety and security for Greyhound when Colleen drove her bus from Vancouver to Kelowna on Thursday—her last trip before retiring. She is the first women to retire after a full career driving for the bus line. When someone else pointed out that they had a similar experience, he cheerfully pointed out, “But you had a destination—(the bus) was my destination.”
And if his demeanor didn’t prove he didn’t mind it at all, his career path does. Meyers also became a professional driver, today working for fuel com-
panies. “Learning how to drive wasn’t that easy, though,” he said. “She was the driving instructor.” With her driving career

behind her, Snelson isn’t planning on being any less busy. It just means the start of something new. “I’m going to raise horses,” she said. “It’s a good time to go.”

One-on-one debate makes sense
T
he current hot federal election topic is debates, sparked by discussion about the exclusion of Green Party leader Elizabeth May from the televised leaders’ debates. The decision to exclude May was made by the ”Broadcast Consortium,” a shadowy group of television executives who seem unlikely to qualify as the best guardians of democracy. In 2008, they also decided to exclude May, and only allowed her in after sustained public pressure. The same thing may hap-
pen again. However, some positive ideas have come out of this latest discussion. Both Stephen Harper and Michael Ignatieff have expressed interest in a one-on-one debate, and that would be a debate worth watching. The five-person debate in 2008 wasn’t worthwhile. It was mainly an exercise in interruption, shouting and fingerpointing, with few real opportunities to find out where leaders stood on issues.
The fact is, only Harper and Ignatieff have a chance to form government and be prime minister. Jack Layton will be, at best, a junior partner in a coalition government — and that seems unlikely, given that Ignatieff has said he won’t form a coalition. Gilles Duceppe is nothing other than a major league irritant. His party isn’t interested in any part of Canada outside Quebec and he does not deserve to be in the English-language leaders’ debates. He is only seek-
ing the votes of French-speaking Quebeckers. May leads a party which attracts significant but shallow interest. It gained less than seven per cent of the national vote in 2008. There should be at least one debate featuring only Harper and Ignatieff. Additional debates featuring the five leaders (in French), with Duceppe excluded from the allparty English debate, would give voters enough chance to check them all out.

Of magnetized monorails and parks vs commerce
F
or a couple of groggy minutes, I thought I’d pulled a lazy woman’s Rip Van Winkle, slept through several days, managing to wake up just in time for April Fool’s Day. I woke up to flashing BlackBerry lights heralding two emails from friends abroad, where news stories about how Kelowna could be home to a Jetsons-inspired monorail through the city had been pasted. “Isn’t this cool?” read the subject line of one e-letter. Another was titled; “things have changed a lot since I left.” Sure, the planning mindset of the Okanagan Valley has changed since the 1980s and ’90s. Even those who
live near hotly-debated Cedar Avenue would breathe a sigh of relief on that one if they conjured the word “strip mall,” but a futuristic monorail is just as likely as the Canadian government being dumped. Well, maybe five times less likely? Regardless, the story within explained that someone was pitching council to take a serious look at a magnetized monorail to ease commuter congestion. NASA and SkyTran are working on technology that would allow commuters travelling in two-person pods
to traverse the city, using
KATHARTIC the “levitation technol-
ogy” already in play with high-speed trains, it explained. Not that I have anything against pipeKathy dreams, or even podMichaels trains, but the Okanagan isn’t exactly the first place I imagine when I think of futuristic endeavors. We got our first highway walkover in the last year, and conversations about installing a downtown trolley only came to an end in the last couple of months. While the idea is a bit far out for the valley, the fact it struck me as so
ludicrous, and not hopeful, piqued one of my greatest personal fears. There’s a distinct possibility I am sinking into the thing I most enjoy shaking a finger of derision at. I, too, am becoming Old School—and not in the good way. And it’s not even the first time I’ve become aware of the change. There are times when I come down from the hillside, catch sight of a new development and inhale sharply with disgust at the sight of a proliferation of buildings. There are moments, when the idea that another lakefront property makes my wrinkle deepen, and I wax on about the good ol’ days, when nobody wanted to live here—including
myself. Problem is, people do want to live here now. The Okanagan is growing up, and Kelowna is trying to eke out an identity as a dynamic waterfront city—emphasis on the word dynamic, please. And, instead of digging in and waxing on about times gone by, as some are doing with this Cedar Avenue plan, it would be nice if some constructive comments would come to the fore when city planners offer new ideas. After all, we really don’t want time and opportunities to pass us by. Kathy Michaels is a staff reporter for the Kelowna Capital News. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

▼ FEDERAL ELECTION
Coalition not needed, alliance will do To the editor: A Liberal-NDP alliance won’t work without the Bloc. Jack Layton’s comments—“I have said I will work to ensure the ideas we campaigned on have the best possible chance of being implemented in Parliament”—certainly gives you the sense he would be willing to form a coalition with the Liberals. Michael Ignatieff initially refused to rule it out, but, when he realized it wasn’t playing well politically, decided to categorically deny any such intention. However, what would happen if the election result were similar to our last one—a distinct possibility? The Conservatives would be well out in front but the other three parties would still have a majority in the house. As the largest party, the Governor General would be obliged to offer the Conservatives the oppor-
tunity of forming a government. Given the bad blood between the Conservatives and the other three parties, it is distinctly possible, even likely, that (the others) would agree to bring down the government at their earliest convenience given their ideological similarity. To do so would not require a coalition, merely an agreement. Since the Conservatives would have more MPs than any other two parties combined, any Liberal-NDP alliance would, necessarily, have to depend on the Bloc’s support or else it would fail. Effectively, the Bloc would have veto power over any serious measures proposed by such an alliance. In that scenario, whenever the separatists snap their fingers, you know which dogs will bark. It is the presence of an indigestible Bloc (pun intended), that makes it difficult for any national party to earn a majority in the House
of Commons. However, the Conservatives have promised to end the taxpayer supported stipend every party receives for every vote cast their way in the past election ($2 per year per vote). The Bloc has virtually no private fund raising. Over 90 per cent of their finances come from this subsidy. Withdrawing it would cripple the Bloc and give the federalist parties a significant advantage in Quebec. However, no Bloc-supported alliance would end this subsidy. The only national party that can govern without the Bloc’s support are the Conservatives. It’s time Canadians give them a majority and help end the spectre of a separatist party determining the policies and legislation of our national Parliament. Bruce Parsons, West Kelowna
Council can still redeem itself re Cedar decision To the editor: In the matter of the Cedar Avenue development I would like to add my two cents worth. My dad was a waterfront homeowner in the Cedar Avenue area for about 22 years. He sold to the City of Kelowna in November 1993. My dad considered this sale for probably two years before finally selling. His main reason for selling was the fact that the city had bought several properties in the area and as a result of that the neighbourhood had changed dramatically. No longer was it an owner-occupied area with the usual pride of home ownership making the area a very desirable spot to live. This
bothered him to see this change happening with no end in sight. He contacted the city to see what was going on and was told that the city was buying up properties as they became available and that the city planned to turn it all into a park some time in the future. The city wondered if my dad was interested in selling. He said he would let them know. Reluctantly in the end my dad negotiated a deal and he moved on. At no time did the city ever suggest that anything commercial would be developed there. Why would or wouldn’t they? It was his understanding as was mine that this area one day would be another beautiful park for the citizens of
Kelowna to enjoy. Now it appears the city has other plans and although I can appreciate the fact that selling the land for development at today’s price is a nice windfall for the city, is it the right thing to do? I think not, for two reasons: 1. It is not what the city said they were going to do when all these citizens agreed to sell there properties. The documents clearly state that the properties were purchased to be used as parkland. 2. Should the city be in the land development business or any business in competition against private enterprise? Should the city be developing property to take business
away from the Pandosy Street area? Our family had a business on Pandosy Street for 25 years and I know the joy of running your own business and I know some of the struggles of doing so. Competition from private enterprise is welcome anytime. Not only has the city for years been in competition with private enterprise—renting out these properties—it now wants to see the properties developed for commercial use as well. Not only has the city affected the area negatively, in my opinion, with its initial purchases for the past 30 years, it now does not want to do what is for the greatest good of the community and the
city for the next 50 to 100 years or more. Rumour has it that although council may not have all the facts and are content to spin the info, that this is a done deal. I sure hope not. Wake up council, have a vision, look to the future and do the right thing. As letter writer Michael Neill wrote: “They ain’t making waterfront anymore.” City council, this is your chance to once again make this area a wonderful property we all can be proud of and enjoy. Do the right thing. Don Fraser, Kelowna
this decision had no bearing on council. The city’s study was completed in March 2004. It is antiquated, if not completely irrelevant today. Presently we are in the midst of a densification of the Pansosy area. Multi-family units are either built, being built, or being planned for both sides of Pandosy and up to Lakeshore and Richter Streets. With this increase of family units there is also a huge increase in commercial space being offered. There is land already dedicated to multifamily developments which currently sit idle and much more suitable land available for housing and commercial. This growth should predicate the city to keep already purchased waterfront park space for the needs already required by growth. Currently our lakefront
parks are reaching their capacity even without taking into consideration our city’s growth. We will most likely never again have the opportunity to acquire such an expanse of waterfront. This park will be used by residents in all areas in the city, as well as those visiting, or using our services at Kelowna General Hospital. We have another jewel to add to the crown of this great city. Lets not lose this gift for all Kelowna residents, visitors and, most importantly, generations to come. I challenge city council to make public their case for turning this open park space to development. The only factor that I can possibly imagine is the need for money. Is this rezoning in keeping with the city’s ideals of being green, livable, sustainable, and a prudent use of tax-
payers money? We have a responsibilty to leave this city a better place, part of a proud legacy for future generations. Would another waterfront project or open park be more in keeping with responsible planning? I hope the residents

Public-use waterfront is a rare commodity here To the editor: I have great concern and questions that plague me in regarding the lakefront property at Cedar Avenue. It is a shame that all but one city councillor voted to sell this waterfront asset to a developer. As per city documentation, dated September 15, 1992, this land was purchased by us, the taxpayers, for a neighbourhood park similar to Kinsmen and Strathcona Parks. What a gift to have forward looking city staff with concern for future needs nine years ago. Fast forward to today I see the potential for a fatal decision to develop this land. Having attended the Advisory Planning Commission, meeting one felt a glimmer of hope as they listened to residents’ concerns and turned down the application to abolish the park space. Unfortunately,

A VARIETY OF spring bulbs can provide bloom from March to May. Many are drought tolerant, going dormant after blooming, when the natural supply of water in the Okanagan dries up. This leaves space for summer and fall blooming plants. I’ve seen success with a variety of materials such as well-rotted manure from a local farmer, Classic Compost from Dean at the Farmer’s Market, Glengrow from the City landfill and Nature’s Gold. Whatever you use, it must be well-rotted and free of weed seeds. This approach saves time and money. A single application is enough to slowly and naturally feed your lawn throughout the growing season. Over the years I’ve heard many complaints from people about having to mow their lawns too often. When asked if they recently applied a chemical fertilizer, inevitably the answer is yes. What a make-work project. And the water meter is spinning faster because more water is needed to support the fertilizer-induced burst of growth. Such fertilizers are high in salts, creating a chemical imbalance in the soil, which destroys essential soil micro-organisms, and leads to a dependency on regular applications of chemical fertilizers. That creates more work and more expense. They can also leach into ground water and end up contaminating drinking water. On the other hand, a mulch of organic mat-
ter adds a full spectrum of nutrients to the soil. As it breaks down, it builds up the soil. If your lawn is on compacted or poor ground, aerate it before applying the mulch. The mulch will fill the holes and help improve the soil even faster. For poor lawns, mulching again in the fall will help. Organic matter helps retain soil moisture, making your lawn more drought tolerant. Twenty-four per cent of all water used in the Okanagan Valley goes to irrigate domestic landscapes. Much of this is used to keep lawns green. To learn more about how to reduce water use and maintenance time in your yard, I invite you to attend one of my two night xeriscape classes. Start dates are April 6, April 20, and May 4. Check the website or call me for more information and to register.

Professor to serve as editor-in-chief of academic journal James Hull, associate professor of history at UBC Okanagan, has been named the new editor-inchief of Scientia Canadensis, the academic journal of the Canadian Science and Technology Historical Association. CSTHA president Bertrum MacDonald says the executive committee unanimously selected Hull because they knew he would bring considerable experience and energy to the position. “Hull is an active scholar, primarily of the history of technology in Canada, and has already developed a publishing agenda for the journal that will continue to advance understanding and appreciation of Canada’s important scientific and technical heritage,” said MacDonald. Hull’s current research focuses on the history of science and industry in Canada, in particular the history of industrial research, technical education and the role of scientific and technical experts. His most recent published paper examined the role of the city engineer in late Victorian Toronto. “Hull is one of Canada’s leading scholars of the history of Canadian science and technology and his appointment to this editor-in-chief position reflects the esteem in which he is held among his peers,” noted UBC professor and unit head Peter Wylie. “Scientia Canadensis is the leading journal in the field. I am sure he will prove to be a very fine editor of this important and highly-regarded journal, and his appointment brings great credit both to himself and to UBC’s Okanagan campus.” As the new editor-inchief, Hull says he is looking forward to the opportunity to contribute to the development of a field with which he has been associated since its origin. “I was present at the first conference on the Study of the History of Canadian Science and Technology held at Queen’s University (Kingston) in 1978,” said Hull. “This conference led, two years later, to the formation of the CSTHA. “Since my graduate student days I have been
an active member of the association…I’m honoured that the association has seen fit now to select me to edit Scientia Canadensis.”

Judie Steeves cus and buttercups just out, and few yellow bells around yet. Instead of concerns about low snowpacks this year, it appears to be a near-normal, or slightlyabove normal year, easing worry about water for the coming growing season. However, that doesn’t mean we can be complacent about water, how much we use and how we share it, or about how we treat it and where it comes from. Because of our multiuse watersheds in the Okanagan Basin, which mean source protection is important, and the neardesert climate of the valley, both water quality and water quantity must be protected. In doing the research for a piece on the international commission that makes decisions about regulations governing the level of the cross-boundary Osoyoos Lake, into which the Okanagan’s watershed drains, I learned that a discussion has begun about including flows as well as lake level in upcoming deliberations about a renewal of orders governing that lake. Setting requirements about flows means writing orders that could restrict how much water is available for Canadians in this watershed, as well
as for aquatic life on both sides of the international border. Just something we should be aware of. This week I wrote about a new study resulting in a recommendation that 85-metre zones of protection be set up around all drinking water reservoirs and the streams carrying that water to treatment plants for domestic use. That wouldn’t mean no one could enter the zone, but it would prevent all machines, construction or other disturbances to the natural vegetation in that zone. Aquatic biologist Heather Larratt pointed out that not only is New York purchasing back its watershed, but even countries like China and Chile are taking that expensive and controversial step to protect domestic water supplies from contamination. It’s not unheard of here, with both the Greater Vancouver and Victoria areas’ watersheds closed to people. Period. Yet, here in the Okanagan, people from all over the country and beyond our borders are invited to come and camp, fish, hike, hunt and ride their trail bikes through our watersheds and in some instances, through our streams as well. That’s in addition to the industrial activity permitted in those watersheds, including logging, mining and road-building. It makes you wonder.

ccording to the old English rhyme, we should expect March winds and April showers to bring forth May flowers—but there was no mention of snowstorms. So, Sunday while I hiked in a wet blizzard, I tried to pretend it wasn’t happening. The buttercups, heads bowed down to the ground under the wet, white stuff, testified that it wasn’t March winds, but nearly-April snow. They were just about as impressed as I was. It being spring break, we took the grandkids out into the forest for a picnic this week, planning to char a few wieners and maybe some marshmallows as well. We didn’t get very far out of town, or very high in elevation, before all side roads off the main forest service road were blocked still by several feet of dirty snow. Even turning the truck around was a bit of a challenge as deep piles of snow lined the muddy road on either side. Instead of deep in the forest, we had to light our fire just off the main road, further down— but the hotdogs were delicious and that woodsmoke smell accompanied us home as a reminder of summer outings camping in the wild. Melting snow is now filling creek beds and rushing into the main valley lakes, although cold nights are slowing the process this spring. It’s also a couple of weeks late, with cro-

SPORTS ▼ ROCKETS
Kelowna Rockets sweep PG Cougars out of the way Alistair McInnis BLACK PRESS SPORTS
The Kelowna Rockets were facing a Prince George Cougars team that came into the playoffs having won four of their last five regular season games. The Rockets halted that momentum in a big way in the opening round of the Western Hockey League playoffs, sweeping the Cougars in four straight games. The final nail in the coffin came Wednesday night at CN Centre, the Rockets ending the Cougars season with a 4-2 triumph. Far from a pretty playoff series, mistakes were made on both ends. But for the Cougars, they were more evident. The Rockets rose to the occasion when it mattered most, outscoring the Cougars 12-2 in third periods. And in the second and third games, the Cougars opened up two-goal leads late in the second period. The result even surprised Rockets head coach Ryan Huska, who prepared his players for a sixor seven-game series. “To me, it was a funny
ALISTAIR MCINNIS/PRINCE GEORGE FREE PRESS
KELOWNA ROCKETS forward Andreas Stene tries maintaining possession of the puck around the defence of
Prince George Cougars forward Wilson Dumais during Wednesday evening’s Western Hockey League playoff game at CN Centre. The Rockets defeated the Cougars 4-2 to sweep their best-of-seven opening round series. series. It was a lot closer than four games, to be honest with you,” he said. “I thought Prince George worked very hard and they probably deserved a little better fate in some of the
games. We got some good bounces and in the end, our third periods were good periods for us.” The Cougars lost captain and leading scorer Brett Connolly early
in Game 1, last Friday in Kelowna, with a shoulder injury. While he missed the rest of the series, two other injured Cougars forwards watched from the bleachers Wednesday
night. Charles Inglis and Nick Buonassisi were on the shelf with upper-boy injuries. “We’re missing 100 goals that were sitting in the stands tonight too.
It’s a tough thing,” Cougars head coach Dean Clark said. “You need all your best players and your best players have to be your best guys at the right time of the year. Our guys played hard. We just made too many mistakes and it cost us.” Arguably the biggest momentum shift in Game 4 came early in the third period. Forward James Dobrowolski appeared to tie the game 2-2 when he lifted a backhand shot, the puck finding its way past Rockets goalie Adam Brown. But the referee waved off the goal, ruling that Taylor Stefishen was in the crease. Shortly after, the Rockets scored to take a 3-1 lead. Forward Shane McColgan rushed into the Cougars zone, picking up his own rebound and sliding the puck past Cougars starter Ty Rimmer. With two goals and an assist, McColgan led all scorers. Defenceman Zak Stebner (one goal, one assist) and forward Mitchell Callahan (two assists) had two-point games for Kelowna. Defenceman Damon Severson scored the Rockets’ other goal. Forward Alex Fors-
berg, a Cougars call-up, got the home team within one with a goal 8:15 into the third. For Forsberg, the first overall selection in the last year’s bantam draft, the goal was his first in the WHL. Defenceman Sena Acolatse scored the Cougars’ first goal. The Cougars outshot the Rockets 35-31 and finished 1-for-6 with the man advantage. Kelowna scored once on four power-play chances. With the sweep, the Rockets will get extra time off before they begin round two. If results go as expected, they’ll meet the Portland Winterhawks. Rockets forward Evan Bloodoff has served his four-game suspension for charging Vancouver Giants defenceman Joel Rogers during a regularseason game on March 19, and will join his teammates in the second round. “We’ve got some time. I think we got to get some of the bumps and bruises out, and then I think it’s just the same sort of things we did leading up to this series,” Huska said. “Whoever we may get in the next round, we have to be ready to play and play hard for 60 minutes.”
▼ WHL GOALIE OF MONTH
Brown a goaltender shooters can’t figure a way around He may not be up for WHL Western Conference goalie of the year, but don’t tell that to opposing shooters who have been trying to solve Rockets goalie Adam Brown this season. The Western Hockey League announced Thursday that Brown has
been named the Vaughn WHL Goaltender of the Month for March. It marks the second time this season that Brown has been named goalie of the month, the only WHL goalie to win the award twice. The 19 year-old goaltender posted a 6-2 rec-

Brown’s consistent play helped the Rockets capture their first WHL BC Division title since 2004, finishing the season with a 43-28-0-1 record for 87 points and second spot in the Western Conference standings. His efforts also earned him a Three Star selection in
four games through the regular season in March, with two being 1st Stars. He also won all four games in the Rockets first round playoff sweep of the Prince George Cougars. Brown, from Yorba Linda, CA, is in his third season with the Kelowna
Rockets. Originally drafted by the Lethbridge Hurricanes in the 1st round (6th overall) in the 2006 WHL Bantam Draft, Brown joined the Rockets for the 2008-09 season. He finished the 2010-11 WHL regular season 5th among all WHL goaltenders with a 2.59 GAA and
0.916 save percentage. Despite being the only goalie to win the monthly award twice, Brown wasn’t nominated as WHL Western Conference goalie of the year and was also left off of the WHL Western Conference first and second all star teams.

Midget AAAs on way to Pacific championship The Thompson Okanagan Female Midget AAA Rockets have advanced to the Pacific female hockey championship and are one step away from the national female midget championships. The midget AAA Rockets defeated the Kootenay Wildcats in three games in a best-of-three playoff series to claim the 2010-2011 B.C. Female Midget AAA Championship. The Rockets came out a bit slow in game one on Friday as Kootenay won the first game of the series 3-1. Emily Gervais scored the only goal for the Rockets who were faced with a do or die game the very next day. The Rockets regrouped during the day
and came out strong in game two on Saturday and defeated the Wildcats by a score of 3-2. Maggie Shykula Ross, Mackenzie Barrie and Kelsey Freudenberger did the scoring for the Rockets as they forced a third and deciding game three. A large crowd was on hand Sunday to watch the very exciting final game. After the first period the Rockets had a 2-1 lead but Kootenay tied the game in the second period and the teams would go to the third knotted at 2-2. The Rockets scored the eventual game winner part way through the third period and then aggressively played the rest of the game to keep the Wildcats out of their zone and were victorious to win

Collegiate baseball greeted by snow, sleet on opening weekend After scrambling to host a season-opening tournament, the Okanagan College Coyotes and the rest of the Canadian College Baseball Conference (CCBC) teams were rained out on Sunday. With four games on the schedule, snow, sleet, and rain ended the weekend for the five CCBC teams. Still, several games were held at Elks Stadium as the CCBC fall season got underway. “After scrambling to get this weekend set up
last minute due to field conditions at other locations, it is unfortunate to have weather kick us off the field,” said OC head coach Geoff White. “If Friday and Saturday are any indication of how close games are going to be, it should be an exciting and close season.” The Coyotes, who split two games before the weather turned nasty, head to Lethbridge, Alberta this weekend where the University of Calgary Dinos will join them for a four game weekend at Lloyd
Nolan Stadium The Coyotes were forced to host all five teams from the CCBC this past weekend after snow in Kamloops forced Thompson Rivers University off its field and the University of Victoria baseball program folded. OC had hoped to get three days of baseball in and complete the first week of play at Elks Stadium but the weather cancelled the final day. Still the Coyotes played its first two games of the season, opening the
year with a tight 2-1 loss to the University of Calgary. Corey Wood took the loss despite pitching a complete game and allowing just three hits. U of C starter Joel Holland kept the Coyotes bats quiet for five innings before turning the ball over to the bullpen that held the game down. At the plate, Brady Guimond was 3-3 with two doubles while Reid Fischer would score the only run after being walked in the first frame.

In the Coyotes second game, Keifer Rodway tossed five innings and surrendered only three hits, striking out five to earn the win in a 4-2 win over Thompson Rivers University. Pete Tollenaar came in in relief for two innings to nail down the victory for the Coyotes. At the plate OC was led by Stefan Mckee who was 2-3 with an RBI. Reed Quaal added another RBI with a 1-3 day while Garret Wiese had a sac fly to plate the

clutch RBI’s and situational hitting executed at the plate. If we continue to have quality starts and solid defense we should be in good shape.” With the loss of U-Vic from the league the CCBC is producing a new schedule that will be released this week.

Athletes breakfast April 8 Breakfast from A21 tended the University of Victoria for two years where he was rehabilitating an ankle injury. Following that rehabilitation, he transferred to UBC’s Okanagan campus, pursuing an opportunity to play at a high level while pursuing his Bachelor of Management degree. He is in the fourth year of his degree program, taking the accounting specialty, and is on track to graduate this spring. After receiving his degree, Morrison hopes to attend law school. Last year, he was on the Dean’s Honour Roll and finished last term with an average above 90 per cent. In his first two years playing for the UBC Heat, Morrison has been named Defensive Player of the Year and a Provincial Championship Tournament All-Star. “Our goal is to attract high-achieving students with the athletic ability required to be competitive
at the national level,” says Rob Johnson, Director of Athletics at UBC’s Okanagan campus. “We recruit these students from within the Okanagan Valley, throughout the province and across the country. Our Athletics Scholarship Endowment helps us provide the financial assistance needed to attract and support these outstanding UBC student athletes.” Johnson notes that the Valley First UBC Athletics Scholarship Breakfast is the most effective method of donating to athletics because the university matches every dollar raised through ticket sales. Tickets to the April 8 fundraiser breakfast are $125 (HST included) and can be purchased online at www.goheatbreakfast.ca. For more information, call the Athletics Department at 259-807-9168. Doors open at 6:45 a.m., and the program is from 7:15 to 8:45 a.m.

Burnaby went up again but Chuy Garcia scored on an amazing penalty shot, tying the game at 2-2. In the second half, Garcia scored once again, and then Lloyd Larsen added another, making the final score 4-2 for Kelowna. Keeper Noah Trites was able to make some tremendous saves, keeping Kelowna in the game against a tough Burnaby team. fGAME 2 VS SURREY Kelowna United again came out of the starting gates slowly allowing Surrey to open the scoring.

Kelowna United appeared a little tired as they played Chilliwack in their third game. Although Chilliwack was the weakest of the three teams they faced this weekend, Kelowna was unable to score in the first half of the game. Chilliwack peppered keeper Noah Trites who made save after save keeping the score 0-0 at the half. Chilliwack kept the pressure on in the second half and was finally rewarded with a goal.

Last year, about 1.1 million tonnes of wood pellets were produced through 11 B.C. pellet plants—and we have committed to developing at least 10 new community bioenergy projects to convert local biomass into energy by 2020. Another way this government is helping the forest industry is through the Wood First Act. Passed in 2009, this legislation requires all provincially funded buildings to use wood as the primary building material where feasible. It’s a simple measure

but one which helps to grow the market for forestry. To further help this industry grow and have a more stable and predictable business environment, this government has also worked extremely hard to develop new international markets—especially China. With both the world’s largest population and an incredibly fast-growing economy, China represents an extraordinary opportunity for B.C. wood products. For the first time in history, China is the number one overseas market for B.C. lumber—with exports last year worth nearly $687 million. China is now our second largest market overall. In December 2010, we broke all previous monthly export records with about 667,000 cubic metres of softwood lumber exports at a value of $107 million—more than we exported to China in all of 2003. Last year, the value of exports to China was

This expansion into China, and the ongoing work to strengthen our presence there, is one of the most important things this government is doing to create a stronger and more diversified forest sector. Combined with all the other initiatives this government has undertaken and the $1.3 billion we have invested in the industry since 2001, the forest industry is looking forward to a brighter future. All in all, there will be lots to celebrate on April 7 at the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce luncheon and the COFI community dinner—recognizing the important economic and social contribution of this vital industry to our communities and the province.

This government has worked hard to help the forest industry. Since we came into office in 2001, we have invested $1.3 billion to support the forest industry along with communities across the province that rely on it. We have also worked hard to provide new opportunities for the industry, both here and abroad. One of the measures we have undertaken to help the industry was the introduction of a new Bioenergy Strategy, providing $35 million to diversify the economies of forest-dependent communities, creating new opportunities for forest companies and producing clean energy—all at the same time.

▼ OKANAGAN SYMPHONY
Renaissance, modern times together in eclectic musical mix The Okanagan Symphony will present Dances with David, a concert of Baroque and Celtic music featuring David Greenberg, master violinist and world renowned specialist in these two musical genres. The program focuses on toe-tapping dance music in an eclectic mix from the Renaissance to modern times, from Monteverdi and Vivaldi to Mozetich, from 16th century Venice to modern maritime Canada. Greenburg will be joined by local violin phenoms Alicia Ve-
nables, Colleen Venables and Rebecca Ruthven in Vivaldi’s Concerto for Four Violins in B minor, a fitting showcase for the wonderful talent we have in the valley. Greenburg describes his program for the concert as: “French dance music, tender airs, Scottish dance music, musical prayer, Italian dance music, postcards from the sky, English dance music, a trip to the underworld. “Although liveliness predominates, in Dances With David, we journey through a wide
variety of emotional predicaments, and feelings bubble over into body language.” Greenberg is known primarily as a baroque violinist who also plays fiddle in the Cape Breton and 18th-century Scottish styles. He grew up in Maryland, learning violin from age four and exploring various fiddling styles early on. Greenburg studied baroque violin with Stanley Ritchie at Indiana University in the 1980s and joined Tafelmusik (Toronto) for 10 years, 1988-98.

last October in the journal Nature Medicine, the gene MKP-1 was found to be twice as active in depressed individuals as in those without depression. Scientists located the gene by completing whole genome scans on the brain tissue of 21 deceased patients known to have experienced depression and 18 who did not have depression. MKP-1 was twice as active in the tissue of the depressed individuals. The same group also found that when the gene was deactivated in mice, the mice showed a resilience to stress. Likewise when it was activated, the mice exhibited symptoms consistent with depression. MKP-1 blocks important pathways for the survival and function of neurons in the brain. This studyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead researcher believes it could be an important contributing factor to the brain signalling abnormalities common in depression. Clinical depression affects roughly 15 per cent of adults at some point in life and occurs when a person experiences a depressed mood for prolonged periods of time with sometimes no correlation to life circumstances. Aside from feelings of sadness, other psychological symptoms of de-

Clinical depression is usually a chronic, recurrent condition that comes and goes (often with increasing frequency and severity) over a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifetime. Currently, as many as 40 per cent of individuals seeking treatment for depression do not respond to available medications and it often takes weeks for antidepressant medications to take effect in those for whom treatment does work. Locating a new gene of importance in this condition offers a potential target for a new class of medication, which could help the many people whose depression is currently resistant to treatment. Pinpointing a genetic marker or cause of depression could also lead to more exact diagnosis as well as the possibility to create a test to identify those who are vulnerable to the condition. At Okanagan Clinical Trials, we currently have an ongoing study examining an investigational medication to possibly treat depression in bipolar disorder.

“Regular Joe” Plumber & Wife Speak Out and Reveal the Raw Truth About That Canadian “Multi-Millionaire”, Darren Weeks, and his How to Get Rich in Canada Seminars.
Brian Lauer a “Regular Joe” This guy, Darren Weeks, promises all sorts of things to us average Canadians about how we can get out of the “Canadian Rat Race” and on to the “Fast Track” He claims that people can start from scratch and become “Rich” in 5 years or less. He talks about wrestling back control of your finances from the Big Banks and Financial Planners. He says he teaches people how to buy Canadian Real Estate with “No Money Down”, and many other “creative” money making ideas and so on. Every time I used to read one of his ads, I thought, “Who could be dumb enough to fall for this guy’s smoke & mirrors?” Now, I’m going to tell you the raw truth about Darren Weeks and his “How to Get Rich in Canada” stuff. My name is Brian Lauer. I live in Kelowna, B.C. with my wife Donna and our 2 kids. I grew up in Saskatchewan, moved to B.C. in the early 70’s. After doing different jobs in the Alberta oil patch, and then in construction, I married Donna in 1991. A few years after getting married I was out of work for a few months and I decided to get into plumbing. It was pretty rough trying to make it on apprentice wages of only $9 bucks an hour back then – especially with a family to support. Once I got my Plumber’s ticket things were OK, but I always thought I could do better in life instead of just grinding it out 9 - 5. I was doing OK with my plumbing work. But at the end of the day I was always trading hours for dollars – and there always seemed to be more expenses than money in the bank. If I ever stopped working, the money stopped coming in. I had a $15,000 line of credit that I honestly thought I’d never pay off. Then in 2001 I saw an ad for one of these “Free Rich Dad” events. I had read “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and I thought what the heck, maybe I should be a little more open minded – what can I lose at a ‘free’ seminar anyway? But in the back of my mind I was sure that they were going to try to get me all jazzed up and excited, and then try to sell me some $5,000.00 real estate course. I had told myself that I would only stay at the event until the “pitch” started, then I’d go home. What Donna and I discovered at Darren’s “How to Get Rich in Canada” seminar really shocked us. First of all, I was waiting the whole time for the “other shoe to fall” and wondering when I was going to get “pitched” the expensive Real Estate course. It never happened. The most expensive thing I could buy there was a book – and they weren’t hardly mentioned. What was mentioned were rock solid ideas, tips and strategies that Darren himself has put to use in his own life to create millions of dollars in income and equity in his businesses, investments and Real Estate. The man doesn’t like the Big Banks or Financial Planning companies very much, and he showed us why not. He opened our eyes to a whole different way of thinking about money and wealth – and most importantly, he inspired us to take action and go for it! Within a week of attending that event we decided to make Real Estate investing our
vehicle to wealth (but Real Estate is not the only subject covered at Darren’s events – he also goes in depth about Business and investing). Over the next couple of months we got cracking and started buying our first investment properties. Now, just a few short years later, we have over 29 ‘doors’ (rental units) in B.C. an Alberta and we are looking for another apartment building to buy with our investors. The positive cashflow from our properties is more than enough to replace my plumber’s wages. Now I work at plumbing because I want to, not because I have to. While others in my field are worried about the economy and impending work shortages – all I can see is opportunity! And I know that if anything ever happened to me, we would be just fine with our Real Estate. Not only that, but we learned how to buy them right and at the right price, and our Net Worth now officially makes us millionaires twice over! (Which is sweet revenge for all the snickers we got from friends and family when we first told them what we were up to). Now you might be asking yourself how such a thing could happen to a blue-collar guy like me. The answer is simple. It’s all about learning how real proven and effective wealth creation systems work. I’m not talking about the “late nite t.v.” crap that comes in from South of the border either. I’m talking about proven methods and strategies that work right here in Canada – our home and native land. In spite of everything you’ve heard about investing in Real Estate being ‘risky’ – or the failure rate of starting your own business – or how crappy investing can be (and it can be – if you do it the way the ‘establishment’ tells you to) you too can learn how to get rich sooner rather that later. So here is the raw truth about Darren Weeks: Unlike most of those ‘pretend’ experts out there, he actually teaches stuff that works. He not only teaches it – he does it! He walks his talk and has businesses, investments and lots of Real Estate. Just like me, you’ve seen his ads in this paper before. You’ve gotten postcards from him. Or maybe you’ve seen him on TV, or heard his ads on the radio. If you haven’t been to one of his “How to Get Rich in Canada” events yet, I don’t know why not! Maybe you think you’re too smart and know it all, or that it is going to be a rip off, like I did. But if you’re so smart, why aren’t you rich and happy? Maybe you are doing well already – but you could do better (many of Darren’s students are ‘retired’ in their 30’s or 40’s). Maybe you just don’t want to be sold something that’ll be a waste of your hard-earned money. About that

Darren has spoken to over 200,000 Canadians at his events since he started in 2001. Many, just like me, are now making more money than they ever did before and are reaching their own financial dreams. My wife Donna just says “Wow” about how much we have accomplished and how much more we are going to do and have. We continue to go to Darren’s events as often as we can, because we always learn something new, and meet great new people. All I can say is, “Don’t envy us. Join us” BRIAN LAUER, Kelowna, B.C. P.S.

STAFF REPORTER
They are one of the city’s most successful bands, but when We Are the City plays the community theatre this weekend, they will have a decidedly different look. Though they are collectively only “20 and a half,” as keyboard-player and vocalist Cayne McKenzie put it, last fall, guitar player David Menzel announced his retirement to get married.
‘‘
The plans were finalized in a ferry lineup on the way back from a festival in Victoria where Blake Enemark had been playing. The two remaining members discussed it and decided Enemark could jump in. “It just worked out really well for him to come along,” said McKenzie, who admits both he and Andy Huculiak thought they might have to throw in the towel and start a new band. When one member of a three-member band calls it a night, it can be a little daunting from an identity point of view, even for a band which won The Peak Performance Project, walking away with the grand prize. But as both Huculiak and McKenzie wanted to keep playing, they started writing a few songs under a different band name— High School—with the idea of playing some gigs with their friends in Kingdom Cloud. So when they decided to pick up Enemark, who they had first met as a staff member on the

WE ARE THE CITY incognito to work in a new band member, as High School. Peak Performance Project, the material was already demoed. High School, the nonexistent band, became High School the EP released by We Are the City en route to their next fulllength album expected out in August. “We set ourselves up so the next album can be very different from this one or similar to this one,” McKenzie said. “It’s like we were in a room that we worked really hard on, painting really well. We
used tape to make sure there were no mistakes in the painting and then we made the door to the rest of the house. “The EP is the door and it’s letting us go into the rest of the house.” Whether this homespun metaphor truly illuminates the changes the guys have made or not, it certainly shows We Are the City is moving forward in their ever-creative, expressive way. And the critics have responded. The Vancou-

As Fred struggles with the world’s worst house guest, they are forced to work together as they have to save Easter from an evil Easter Chick named Carlos who wants to be in charge instead of the rabbits. Russell Brand (Get Him to the Greek and next week’s Arthur) is the voice of E.B. and leads the rest of an impressive cast that includes James Marsden (Enchanted), Kaley Cuoco (The Big Bang Theory), Bill Hader (Saturday Night Live), Chelsea Handler, Gary Cole, David Hasselhoff and Mel Brooks in live roles, and the voices of Hugh Laurie, Laurie Metcalf and Hank Azaria. Director Tim Hill is no stranger to the combination of live-action and CGI as he was at the helm of Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Jake Gyllenhaal stars as decorated airman Captain Colter Stevens who wakes up in the body of an unknown man.

The “Source Code” program enables him to cross over into another man’s identity in the last eight seconds of his life. With a second, much lar-

We Are the City brings Reckless Bravery Tour to town Pyper Geddes CONTRIBUTOR
We Are the City, Said the Whale, Aidan Knight, and Kingdom Cloud. Need I say more? Probably not, but I will. We Are the City and Aidan Knight are bringing their Reckless Bravery Tour back to Kelowna this Sunday, April 3 at the Kelowna Community Theatre and this time they’re bringing back up. The Okanagan boys from We Are the City have been pushing the boundaries that come along with being an indie band from a small market ever since they won the PEAK Performance Project in January of 2010. That battle of the bands style contest, funded by 100.5 The PEAK and Music BC, gave $150,000
to the young trio along with the title of Top PEAK Performers. Since then the band has seen some changes, some ups and some downs, as do every band on the traveling circuit. Long time band mate, friend, and (basically) brother David Menzel parted ways with the band in mid-2010. However, this didn’t stop remaining members Cayne McKenizie and Andrew Huculiak from forging on. Joined by Blake Enemark on guitar, in the summer of 2010 the group embarked on a series of low-profile gigs under the name High
School where the members tied shirts over their faces and adopted different aliases (Cayne— Lindsey Jone, Andrew— Matthew Curran and Blake—Bobby Reynolds) in order to disguise their identities. Although the facade was confusing and intriguing, you can’t pull the wool (or the shirt in this case) over We Are the City’s fans’ eyes. The project gave the band a chance to revisit their teenage years, laying bare some shameful memories from their past. But what came out of it was a new album. We Are the City re-
leased High School on March 22, which finds the trio venturing into new musical terrain. You can find that out for yourself when you listen to their first single from the new
album, Happy New Year, on which West Africaninspired licks give way to garage-y rock outs and fuzzed-out Rhodes piano. High School allowed We Are the City to intro-
duce the use of drum machines and string arrangements into their already very layered sound. They were ecstatic to have worked with Tom Dobrzanski (Said the Whale, Hey Ocean!) who produced the recording sessions taking place in Vancouver at Vertical and Blue Wave Studios. These hometown heroes continue to manage their success quite humbly and if you follow them on Facebook or Twitter, you’re sure to get a good laugh out of them once a day, as well. Joined by locals Kingdom Cloud and Vancouver’s reigning indie acts Said the Whale and Aid-
an Knight, their show at the Kelowna Community Theatre is going to be outstanding. A good night would be seeing any of these acts playing on their own. A great night, however, is getting to see them all together on the same night. Tickets for the show are $15 in advance and $18 at the door. Advance tickets are available at Tweaked and Yummy Vintage Apparel and online on Paypal (visit the Facebook event for a direct link).

Enough with the ‘MAXI’ comments, already Rob Beintema CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
It’s still a MINI, even though the new 2011 MINI Cooper Countryman is the biggest MINI ever built, taking MINI’s trademark design and styling DNA to new limits of size and capability. The 2011 MINI Cooper Countryman premiered in Canada early this year as MINI’s first sport utility vehicle. And that wasn’t the end of the MINI Countryman’s firsts. It’s the first MINI to offer all-wheel drive and offroad potential. And, with full four-door cabin access, it’s the first MINI to promise practical
second row space and real world passenger and cargo carrying abilities. One glance and you know it couldn’t be anything but a MINI. In fact, from a distance, with its wheels-to-the-corner stance, short overhangs and with all the classic MINI styling cues, most of us probably wouldn’t notice anything different at all. It’s bigger but the size increase is all in proportion. It’s just a MINI built to a larger scale. Or, as one wag put it, it’s like someone photocopied a MINI at 120 per cent. See MINI B2

THE 2011 MINI COOPER S COUNTRYMAN ALL4, seen here in top-of-the-line trim with permanent all-wheel drive, builds on the MINI legacy as a new, bigger sport utility version. The Countryman was designed to add roomier practicality and utility while maintaining the go-kart character and spirit of the original.

Keeping in mind that the bigger, heavier Countryman has the same engine choices under the hood as the smaller MINI Cooper hatchbacks, it might be wise to consider moving up to the more powerful MINI Cooper S Countryman.

Fun still possible in MINI Cooper S Countryman crossover MINI from B2 al fuel economy numbers worked out to a higher combined average of about 9.7L/100km. That’s probably because I was having a little too much fun in the Countryman. And, yes, fun is still possible, even with this crossover’s increase in size and mass. MINI engineers were determined to maintain the original’s go kart handling. A MacPherson strut front suspension and rear multilink setup combine for a blended mix of comfort and agility. For
customers who are more into corner carving than bush bashing, an available sports suspension takes back some of that raised ground clearance, dropping the ride height by 10 mm. And dynamic performance technologies are rounded out with a Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system that includes ABS brakes with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD), Cornering Brake Control (CBC), Brake Assist and Hill Assist. The upscale MINI Cooper S Countryman
and Cooper S ALL4 variants also come equipped with Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and Electronic Differential Lock Control (EDLC). Inside, the MINI Countryman blends its usual whimsical style with new levels of comfort and practicality. Instead of the usual seats-down-on-thefloor layout, the Countryman allows for a raised seating position with a roomy feel and excellent visibility. The expanded box of the MINI’s square architecture accents headroom and interior spaciousness. Four
wide-opening doors and a high-opening rear hatch provide easy accessibility, with the open and airy cabin accented here by an optional sunroof. The second row seating is comfortable with some front row compromise and both rows can be adjusted fore and aft. The cargo area will store your weekend getaway gear and, with the rear seats folded flat, the interior opens up to 1,170 litres of load space.

Getting Your New Driver Out of the Parking Lot! By Kate Wells, DriveWise BC Once you’ve done some basic driving in a parking lot, you and your new driver will want to experience a different scene. Here are some tips for you to keep safe: Choose an Appropriate Area – Taking a new driver from the parking lot to a busy road with too many distractions will overwhelm and stress you both. Find an area that has a few parked cars, a slow speed and fairly straight roads without blind curves or hills. Your residential area is generally good as they are familiar with the surroundings. How to Keep Your New Driver Centred
in Their Lane – Practice having your new driver look well ahead down the road. A good rule is for them to be seeing what’s going on a full block ahead. Have them talk to you while they are driving. Ask them what they are seeing. Get them to “talk while they drive” which helps you know they see any potential dangers they could encounter. For example, “I see a pedestrian waiting to cross the street” or “I see a car backing out of their driveway.” As their co-driver you will be able to help them act appropriately and have the time to do it. Scan Every Intersection: LCR – The most important letters in learning to drive through an intersection, they stand for LEFT, CENTRE, and RIGHT. Have your new driver scan EVERY intersection (with traffic lights
and without). The scan should be completed before they enter the intersection. If they are stopped at a red light, always have your new driver scan LCR once the light turns green and BEFORE they enter the intersection. This allows for a brief pause before entering the intersection, a potentially life-saving move. Most cars running a yellow or red light would have been through by the time your new driver enters. Consider having a professional driving school teach your new driver these life-saving skills so you can be practicing the proper life-saving techniques with them. Some driving schools have valuable teaching tools such as Driving Simulators that can teach new drivers things many of us can’t set up for them.

Jeep’s least expensive SUV still a capable off roader CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
t
Scanning the Jeep lineup, you may scratch your head at the company’s decision to offer two flavours of essentially the same vehicle at similar price points. The Compass and Patriot, which arrived in 2006-2007, are low-cost rentries to the crowded compact SUV segment. The Compass, with its ‘baby Grand Cherokee’ crossover styling, and the boxier, more rugged looking Patriot start a mere thousand dollars apart at $16,495 and $15,495 respectively. / That’s pretty cheap for a new vehicle of any kind, but keep in mind that with Jeep, ‘base’ really means base. The entry Compass and Patriot are both front drivers, free of such basic amenities as air conditioning, power windows and rkeyless entry. Add in a few comforts and the MSRPs rise quickly which is a tough sell against vehicles like the well equipped Kia kSportage and Hyundai Tucson. But opt for fourwheel-drive and choose the Freedom-Drive II package, and you have a couple of ≥trail rated≤ off roaders that can tackle some pretty tough terrain. These low-end Jeeps may face stiff competition from an abundance of stylish and well-priced urban sport utes and crossovers, but they also have the advantage of a 70-year history of building proven military and recreational off-road vehicles. My tester for the week was the Patriot ‘North Edition’ with four-wheeldrive. This is the midpoint of three trim levels that begin with the Sport and end with the Limited. All are available with FWD or 4WD. Standard on all 4x4 models is Freedom-Drive I, a slip-and-grip, fulltime four-wheel-drive system that sends torque to the rear when the front wheels begin losing traction. It’s available with either a five-speed manual or continuously variable transmission (CVT). It also provides a 4WD lock mode, which divides torque equally between front and rear axles for when you really get bogged down, such as in deep snow or sand. Lock
mode works at speeds under 15 km/h. My vehicle came with the Freedom-Drive II package, which for an additional $1,050 makes the Jeep Patriot a Trail Rated 4x4. This includes a 4WD
Jeep certainly doesn’t go overboard on powering this vehicle. The Patriot features a standard 2.4-litre World Engine that generates 172 hp and 165 lb/ft of torque, putting it right in line with four cylinder competitors like

MORE RUGGED looking than its Compass sibling, the Jeep Patriot includes essential elements like the seven-slot Jeep grille, along with true off-road capability. As tested, this ‘trail rated’ Patriot includes tow hooks front and back, skid plates and a full nine inches of ground clearance.

THE JEEP PATRIOT gets several interior upgrades for 2011, including new soft touch front-door trim panels; backlighting of door switches, locks, windows and mirror controls, and more. Chrome and metallic accents add a nice touch. off-road mode, tow hooks, skid plates for the fuel tank and transmission/engine oil pan, brake lock differential, oil cooler, 140-amp alternator, fog lamps, and P215/65R17 OWL all terrain tires on 17-inch aluminum rims. The upgraded CVT, which adds $1,750 to the base price (instead of $1,400 for the lowertier CVT), includes a low range that engages when off-road mode is activated. This best-in-class 19:1 ratio is ideal for crawling over rocks and logs, made even easier with the 2.5 cm (1 inch) increase in ride height for this year. Hill-descent control, which is also part of the package, helps you to descend steep grades under control. ‘Trail Rated,’ in case you’re unaware, means the vehicle meets the company’s standard for traction, water fording, articulation, maneuverability and ground clearance. The Patriot may not measure up to the legendary Wrangler, but still provides nine inches of ground clearance, a 29-degree approach angle, a 33-degree departure angle and a 23-degree breakover angle. Good for at least moderate off-roading. The trail rated Patriot also has added body sealing and high-mounted drivetrain vents for up to 19 inches of water fording ability.
Tucson and Sportage, but marginally behind Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. Consequently, I wouldn’t describe performance as heart stopping, but in today’s world of a buck-twenty-plus per litre of gas, who’s complaining? Six cylinderpowered compact SUVs, like the RAV4, are more fun on dry roads, but less amusing at the gas pump. Numerous engineering improvements, including an increased rear sway bar diameter, increased vehicle damping and better rebound in shocks and struts, have improved ride and handling. Steering is more responsive and has more feel, and there is now additional sound deadening. Despite this last enhancement, moderate road and wind noise still penetrates the cabin, as does the characteristic moan from the CVT. Chrysler has improved the interiors for all their products in 2011, and the Jeep Patriot is no exception. Upgrades include new soft touch front-door trim panels; a new steering wheel with integrated controls for audio, cruise control, phone and other functions; backlighting of door switches, locks, windows and mirror controls, and more.

town or in tight parking lots, while the rear hatch and low load floor height are ideal for packing in the groceries. What itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not is a vehicle for carting the entire starting lineup to the hockey arena. For that, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll definitely need something bigger. However, there is room for five adults in the 2011 EX35, however four would fit more comfortably for a road trip. The 60/40 split folding rear bench seat has a power folding feature as part of the Premium Package found on my tester. Rear seat legroom in the EX35 is less than many competitors, but where the EX35 outshines the competition is in the handling department. The Canadian version comes only in allwheel drive format, while a front-wheel drive model is also available south of the border. Power for the EX35 is a 3.5-litre DOHC 24-valve V6 engine that produces 297 hp and 253 lb/ft of torque. This unit gets the
CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
The evolution of the vehicles we see on the road today has been interesting in recent years. First, the minivan came along to replace the family station wagon. And then the sport utility vehicle (SUV) took over when our love affair with the minivan began to wane. And now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the crossover, a vehicle that combines the best of both worldsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; car-like handling with SUV-like styling. However, manufacturers have also started to tweak the crossover segment with offshoots like the Acura ZDX, BMW X6 and the subject of this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s road test, the 2011 Infiniti EX35. These are crossovers with exterior styling like a luxury coupe. The EX35 has a long hood, short front and rear overhangs and a coupe-like roofline that arches over the windows to the C-pillars. The EX35 is much more of a car than an SUV. Its smallish size makes it easy to maneuver around
1,776 kg (3,907 lb) vehicle up to speed nicely, thanks in part to the slick-shifting seven-speed automatic transmission (replacing the previous five-speed tranny) with manual shift mode and automatic downshift rev matching for those who prefer to make things happen themselves. Independent suspension all-round helps provide the EX35â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smooth ride, while stabilizer bars front and rear keep the vehicle firmly planted in hard cornering. Steering is speed sensitive and power assisted. On the safety front, the EX35 comes with front and rear disc brakes, along with a standard anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brake force distribution and brake assist. Also standard is vehicle dynamic control (VDC), Infinitiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of electronic stability control and traction control, while intelligent cruise control is available as a option as part of the TechSee Infiniti B8

THE INFINITI EX35 can be classified as a crossover, but one might think of it as a modern take on the station wagon. It is sporty, luxurious and easy to drive, in town and on the highway.

trol, ABS brakes, electronic roll mitigation and brake assist. And it has even earned a â&#x2030;ĽTop Safety Pickâ&#x2030;¤ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Patriot starts out as one of the least expensive compact SUVs on the market. But once you option it up to become a comfortable, convenient, fully off-road capable vehicle, the price climbs sharply to 30-grand and beyond. Is it worth the price? Well, that depends on your desire to leave the asphalt. But keep in mind that if you do, the competition thins rather quickly, making the 2011 Jeep Patriot worth a serious look.

The melting snow and mushy ground kept me from really putting it to the test, but at the same time I felt it was capable of far more. After all, Jeep doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take its â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Trail Ratedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; designation lightly.

cameras to project an allround view of potential objects on every side of the vehicle to help reduce blind spots when parking. This is a feature I quite like, but it doesn’t mean you abandon all the normal mirror checks. It’s simply another feature that can make things safer. Since it’s based on a car platform, the EX35 drives like a sedan rather than an SUV. While Infiniti classifies it as a truck, it wouldn’t be a stretch to think of the EX35 as a modern station wagon version of the Gseries sedan. Of course, nowhere do you see the dreaded ‘wagon’ word mentioned, but that’s exactly what it is. And although it doesn’t have oodles of cargo and passenger room, it is a sporty, luxurious crossover that is both easy to maneuver in town and fun to drive on the open road.

nology Package ($2,500). Also included on that package are features such as Lane Departure Prevention, Intelligent Brake Assist and Blind Spot Warning. My tester included the Premium, Journey, Navigation and Technology packages. With $11,100 in options, the vehicle priced out at $53,300 plus $1,920 freight and PDI. The base price of the EX35 is $42,200. The Premium Package ($4,150) includes 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels with P225/55 R18 tires, an 11-speaker Bose premium audio system with a 2 GB hard drive, around-view monitor, front and rear sonar system, front and rear climate control and eight-way power passenger seat. Included in the Journey Package ($1,500) is a sliding glass moonroof, hands-free Bluetooth phone system and maple accent trim. The Navigation Package ($2,950) features an Infiniti navigation system, a 9.2 GB music hard drive and voice recognition for HVAC, audio and navigation. With its double arch grille, the EX35 has a distinct Infiniti look. There are large L-shaped headlights with an available Bi-Xenon adaptive front lighting system, distinctive LED taillights and standard puddle lamps built into the side-view
mirrors. Inside, the interior is driver-focused with a luxurious look and feel to the materials. Infiniti calls it a “wave inspired” cabin layout with a “doublewave” instrument panel. The gauges are easy to read with a white and violet illumination. My tester came in an interesting Sangria Red exterior colour with a beige interior. The wellbolstered leather seats were soft and comfortable and they are slightly elevated for a better vantage point of the road. All the controls are easy to reach, although like so many luxury cars these days, the EX35 suffers from technology overload. Maybe it’s my advancing age, but I feel bombarded with some hightech features that techno geeks may love, but aren’t totally necessary. Yet, the manufacturers tell us today’s buyers want them. Sales statistics may back this up, but I’m still left with the feeling that I’ve driven for 40+ years without a lane departure warning system, why do I need one now? Nevertheless, the EX35 is no different than most luxury sedans and crossovers that come loaded to the gills with these high-tech goodies. But one of those features on the EX35 that I think would be useful is the around-view monitor, which uses small front, side and rear-mounted

Eric has proudly lived in BC, “The Best Place on Earth,” for almost half his life. His extensive experience in the hospitality industry prepared him well for his real estate career, making him attentive to special needs and eager to go the extra mile to achieve the Ultimate Service® experience for his clients.

He is fully fluent in French and English. For Eric, living in the Okanagan is all about lifestyle.

David Mossey has made Kelowna his home for the last 10 years. As for his pre REALTOR® history…well think of business, and then more businesses. They include building and owning both residential and commercial developments in Alberta and B.C. Today David is not actively involved in his extensive business ventures. He has chosen to become a successful REALTOR® as a lifelong ambition. With his extensive background in business, he brings many new ideas to the table that he has learned over the years by being generous, treating people over and above anyone’s expectations, having them relax and be comfortable, finding things to laugh about in the toughest of times…these are things that build relationships….and his whole career has been built on just that….building relationships. Best of luck in your real estate dreams. And remember….”Real Estate Can Be Fun!”

MILTON (MILT) EDSTROM
November 26, 1925 - March 26, 2011 It is with heavy hearts that our beloved husband, brother, father, grandfather and great-grandfather passed away on Saturday March 26, 2011 after a courageous battle with cancer. Predeceased by his parents Emil and Necolyne, sister Emily, brothers Ed, Earl, Jim and Orville. Dad is survived by his loving wife Ella of 61 years and brother Lloyd. He was an amazing father to Daryle (Linda), Grant (Coralee), Christine (Dana) Stregger and (Angie). Dad was a wonderful and loving grandfather to Derek (Kristin), Jennifer, Colin (Melissa), Kristen, Bryan, Alex, Kyran and Rylin. He was a recent proud and adoring great-grandfather to his first great-granddaughter Lily. Dad loved his family with all his heart and loved nothing more than being surrounded by his friends and family. After moving to Kelowna in 1935 he was proud and felt blessed to have served the Kelowna Building Community for over 30 years which included managing Kelowna Builders Supply. There was always a line up of people waiting specifically to see Milt because of his expertise and sense of humor. Our family wishes to thank Dr. Erasmus, Susan & Kathy, the Hospice House staff, Dr. Ellard, Debbie Laura Ann at the Kelowna Cancer Centre and the many other caring individuals for the tremendous care Dad received. We will miss you Dad and love you forever. Thank you for being such a huge part of our lives. In lieu of flowers donations in memory of Milt may be given to the SPCA or the Children’s’ Ward of KGH
