Pre-HST rush Mutual dreams help forge new reality on business for mortuaries Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

During the run-up to most holidays, dollars are directed at getting the right party paraphernalia. Leading to this Canada Day, however, many turned their focus to a slightly more morbid investment. “There are two things in life you can’t avoid; death and taxes,” said David Henseleit, operations manager and owner of Springfield funeral home. “Now there’s more tax upon death, so those who have had the forethought decided to arrange pre-payment on their funeral, to make sure that one bit can’t go to the government.” Yesterday, when the HST was implemented, funerals became subject to an extra seven per cent tax. With funeral services already ranging between $2,000 and $10,000, that extra levy can run up costs quite a bit and that’s disturbing to Henseleit’s clients. They know they can’t take it with them, but they don’t want the government to have it either. “In the last two to three months, I would say business has increased by about 20 per cent with people who are specifically coming in to avoid the HST,” he said. “They’re disgruntled. This is yet another tax on something that’s essential, and it’s being (levied) during and already sensitive time and that’s putting people out.” While pre-payment options ran out starting yesterday, a new Ipsos Reid survey indicates that British Columbians are counting on cutting corners in an effort to save their cash. A significant majority of British Columbians claim they will be spending less on the goods and services that will be subject to the HST but have previously been taxed at a lower rate, according to Ipsos Reid. Seventy per cent of British Columbians who dine out say they will reduce their spending on restaurant meals when the HST becomes effective. Around 63 per cent of consumers of snack foods will also be reducing their spending. Coincidentally, six in 10 residents who buy tickets to professional sporting events, live theatre and music concerts will also reduce their spending in these areas.

LEAD SINGER of Madison Rivers, Genevieve LeBlanc, holds a picture of threeyear-old Serenity, who is battling leukemia.

When she came out West to “live the dream,” Madison Rivers lead singer Genevieve LeBlanc had no idea she would soon be helping a three-year-old girl make her own dream come true. But when the band she built with her best friend, Brooks Vickers, started generating some buzz this spring, the group decided to share their success with someone who really needed it. And then Serenity Laszynskyji came into their lives. “She’s just as cute as a button,” said LeBlanc, who regularly spends time with both Serenity and her mother and says the little girl has brought new meaning to their lives. Describing her as “cute as button,” for example, literally means something completely different when you’re talking about Serenity. She proudly tells anyone who will listen she has a button in her chest “from when she was diagnosed” and she flips up her shirt to prove it. “She’ll show it to anybody. She’s got a very different vocabulary from most kids her age,” said her mom, Sheri, who asked her last name not be used to protect the privacy of her family. The button is actually a surgically implanted device, which allows doctors to take blood and give Se-

renity medication intravenously without constantly giving her needles. Diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at 21 months of age, Serenity is used to poking and prodding. But what she’s really become good at is prodding everyone around her into getting her playtime in—and this is where Madison Rivers hopes to help. On Christmas Day, Serenity will turn four years old. Her chemotherapy will end. She will, hopefully, go into remission and she will have been on a major trip to Disney World, courtesy of the band and her friends at the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada. Serenity and her mother connected with the nonprofit through a social worker and were paired up with Madison Rivers as the band and the little girl are both from Kelowna. “When we started, the band a few years ago, we said right away there would always be a charity involved and we would try to do good things with our music,” said LeBlanc. Their name actually refers to this philosophy. It’s named after Adam Sandler’s production company, Happy Madison Productions, as his movies he makes make them smile. And as of Canada Day, they are kicking off a See Reality A8

Understanding farmers’ needs makes way for entry into politics By Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS

AS HE’S been doing almost all his life on the East Kelowna bench where he

was born and raised, Ken Harvie is thinning apples this week, but he’s thinking about water and waiting for emergency calls, as fire chief for the volunteer fire department in the area.

If your lawn has a brown spot on it from lack of water, it will recover, but an orchardist without water loses his livelihood—often decades of investment. And that’s why Kelowna orchardist Ken Harvie first agreed to let his name stand for the board of trustees for the South East Kelowna Irrigation District. It was 24 years ago. He lost that seat to a Gallagher’s Canyon resident this year, as Dan Newbold was voted onto the board, along with another new trustee, orchardist Christine Dendy. Board chair is orchardist Dave Stirling, while Bill Caswell and Lorne Lacroix round it out. Harvie explains he wanted to make sure he had some control over that precious commodity, water, since he relied on it to make a living. Born and raised on the East Kelowna bench, Harvie did leave for five years or so, working for the B.C. Forest Service, but decided he didn’t want to continue to work for government. He returned to Kelowna and bought part of his parents’ farm. He still grows apples on 12 acres of it, some in new high density plantings and some in older trees. Over the years, he’s seen lots of changes, including more residential development than there was when he first joined the board, although it’s still a predominantly agricultural utility.

Harvie doesn’t favour the provincial government’s attempts to have irrigation districts such as SEKID move to local municipal government administration. “SEKID is well-run. I feel irrigation districts do as good or a better job of providing service to the ratepayers as the municipal model. Moving to municipal administration would not be beneficial to the agricultural community, he believes. Yet, it was under his watch that SEKID broke new ground by installing water meters for farm connections in the district as well as domestic ones. Looking back, he says there was a lot of criticism from residents, and it was a pretty revolutionary move, but most began to realize it was for the best. The litmus test for that was last year when SEKID’s main reservoir McCulloch Lake did not fill and there was only a single rainfall event all summer, including a record dry June. By this spring, he says he’d never seen that lake so low, except once when he was a kid and the district had to pump Pear Lake into McCulloch Lake. Without meters on farm connections last year, he believes it would have been empty by August. You have to measure it to manage it, and meters allow the amount of water being used to be measured, so that each farm can be provided with an appropriate allotment of water during the growing season.

Now, most irrigation districts are following the lead of SEKID in instituting meters for all connections, including agricultural. He figures twinning the district’s infrastructure so that water for crops isn’t expensively treated to prevent human illness is in the future for the district. The alternative is planting people where the trees are, he grins. In SEKID, the trouble is, there are few taxpayers for the amount of water used, so the cost for each property owner will be high. Senior government funding for such infrastructure should be available to large irrigation districts as well as municipalities, he believes. Harvie has also been a member of the volunteer fire department for three decades, the past 10 years as chief. And he’s seen a lot of changes there too, from 40 to 50 calls a year to 205 calls last year, about half of those first responses for emergencies of various kinds. He responds to about 75 per cent of the calls. He’s one of 17 volunteers in East Kelowna, and they respond to calls along with professional firefighters from the Kelowna fire department. He admited he enjoys helping people and doing a service for his community. And, he also enjoys farming, despite the fact there’s not a lot of money in it. It’s satisfying to grow a good crop you can be proud of. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

W TAXES

Consumers bleed cash to live in best place on Earth By Kathy Michaels CONTRIBUTOR

British Columbians’ harmonized cries of dissent weren’t just about the implementation of the HST yesterday morning. A new phase of the Carbon Tax came into effect raising the price of a litre of gas by 1.12 cents to a total of 4.45 cents. Diesel rose by 1.27 cents to a total of 5.11 cents per litre. On paper it may be a pittance, but it seems to be leaving motorists just a little lighter in the wallet and a little more wary of their gas gauges. “It’s not a good idea,” said Stephaine Ackland as she filled up at a Rutland Esso Wednesday.

His province doesn’t have the Carbon Tax, but unlike B.C. the HST will be applied to at the pump starting tomorrow.

That said, by his estimates B.C. gas will still be pricier. “I’ve driven all across the country, and this is the most expensive gas I’ve seen,” he said. “Even in Vermilion Bay, the most expensive place to get gas in Ontario, we’re about three cents cheaper a litre.” The Carbon Tax, which was put in as a consumption tax on the use of fossil fuels, was also mandated to be revenue neutral. In its first year, 2008-2009, it brought in $306 million as the finance ministry said $313 million was returned to residents through personal and business tax reductions. reporter@kelownacapnews.com

Expect tourism revenue loss from environment ministry budget cuts

here are more than 70,000 hectares of towering cedar, hemlock, spruce and alpine fir forest marching over steep mountains still clad in snow late into summer and lush valleys and upper meadows carpeted in wildflowers. It has all been preserved for public use in Manning Provincial Park. The Okanagan region of B.C. Parks is responsible for ensuring Manning Park’s maintenance and for the face it turns to the thousands of visitors who come from all around the province, across the country and around the world to hike

Yes, I realize there are other spectacular gems in the province’s necklace of natural parks representing a variety of ecosystems, from the high alpine of Cathedral, to the

rugged shores of Okanagan Mountain and the historic legacy of MyraBellevue, right here in the Okanagan. But, there’s no excuse for neglecting the careful management of any of these examples of our acclaimed natural beauty by pinching pennies. Economically, it makes no sense to spend millions to attract tourists from far and wide to come and enjoy our wilderness if we then can’t deliver on our promises.

the peace and grandeur of nature and a visit with long-time friends. With this year’s hike in fees for overnight stays in B.C. Parks, and the fact that a $6 surcharge is added to every night of your stay by the reservation service that you are forced to use even if just a single night is busy at the campground, it’s no longer a cheap proposition to go camping. For that price in many U.S. state parks, you get full services in addition to well-maintained trails and facilities—including sewer and water and power. Since we normally camp in much more rustic spots than provincial campgrounds, I’m wellused to doing without services, and gladly trade them for the opportunity to camp alone, without 400 neighbours. However, there’s something to be said for new experiences, and the wild beauty of Manning Park called us to have a look. We didn’t bargain for the fact that two of the three shower houses and bathrooms would be closed for the duration of our stay, while the campground was completely full, or that the only open one was clear across the campground from our site. So, we were a bit gamey by the time we returned home. No big deal, except that you pay the big fees for those services and without those services being open, we all felt the cost of our stay should have been discounted.

Park management resources lacking Tourism from A4 hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t told us about the closure at the gatehouse when we inquired about open trails, or why there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a sign at the trail head parking lot.

But, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure with adequate staffing a better effort at properly communicating with parks operators would result, because rangers and other staff wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be quite so pushed for time to cover all the ground they try to.

Public opinion could sway support for WFN gravel pit Jason Luciw STAFF REPORTER

After nearly 90 minutes of debate Monday night over whether to support or oppose a gravel pit the Westbank First Nation proposes adjacent to the Fintry Protected Area, the regional board has opted

to do neither for the time being. Instead, the 12 regional directors decided to send staff to a public meeting being held Wednesday from 3:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Sensisyusten Community Centre on Quail Lane. Staff was asked to

gauge public attitude toward the pit and report back to the board’s July 8 meeting, so directors could make their final decision. However, staff noted its task of reporting back to the regional board could prove difficult because of the meeting’s format.

Westbank First Nation said the meeting would not be a public hearing, like a recent gravel pit meeting for the Joe Rich area, where residents could voice opinions in an open forum. Instead, residents would be invited to chat with First Nation officials at a series of kiosks,

NEWS W G20 SUMMIT

Local RCMP involved in tense Toronto security crackdown Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER

Supt. Bill McKinnon and more than a dozen Central Okanagan police officers have returned after providing policing assistance at the G20 Summit in Toronto. For McKinnon, who also worked at the Vancouver Olympics, the G20 Summit was a “very different” event. His team was de-

Bill McKinnon ployed to the corner of Spadina Ave. and Queen

St., one of the major sites of tension between protestors and police, to relieve the York Public Order Team. Amid pouring rain, his team “created the opening” for a couple hundred people to get out of the area. His team was not involved in any arrests, which took place earlier, he said. “One can certainly debate how things went

down,” said McKinnon. “But people were given warnings before teams went in.” “Unfortunately, the real protestors never got a chance to get their message through,” said McKinnon, saying “anarchists” took over the protests, resulting in “so many very violent acts.” Still, McKinnon said it was “exciting” to be part of the police contingent on Saturday night, where of-

ficers were taken on busses to six different locations to deal with potential issues. At one point that night, he said, a number of police officers ended up on the infield of Rogers Centre—where the Toronto Blue Jays play—as they awaited their next assignment. McKinnon was in Toronto well before the beginning of the summit, as his search and canvastrained team commenced

Steve Holmes, adding at this point in the investigation, there are 20 plus offence occurrences under the umbrella of the one charge and there may be more. Their offenses include theft of mail, fraudulent use of credit card information and a number of other counterfeit-type offenses.” The two had been on busily committing fraud

from May 6 to June 23, said Holmes, explaining it took police awhile to catch up with them. Their alleged activities aren’t related to the recent rash of pin-pad fraud around the valley, either. “Senko and Oberg were remanded in custody, and will be appearing in court, on July 5 via videoconference,” said Holmes, adding their alleged offenses were committed in Kelowna, Merritt and elsewhere in B.C..

Police executed a search warrant, at a residence in the Big White area, where Senko and Oberg had been temporarily residing. Police seized an abun-

Called a sophisticated operation by police, the marijuana high-yield plants would have produced nearly four times the amount of marijuana bud compared to the average plant. During the search, a 42-year-old male, who is associated with the residence, returned and was promptly arrested and taken into custody. He was released on a promise to appear in court and is likely to face charges of cultivation and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.

No place like home when it comes to planning vacations S ummer has officially arrived. As we all look forward to the hot, sunny weather and some vacation time with our friends and family, I’d like to highlight some of the resources available to you when making your plans. The Okanagan is a fantastic place to live year round and the summer months especially provide a variety of activities. Families can inexpensively experience

Steve Thomson the great outdoors at one of our many provincial campgrounds. If you

haven’t had a chance, check out our new campground booking site go to www.discovercamping.ca, It comes complete with site specific reservations, online payment and trip planning tools. Whether you are a backcountry enthusiast or a family looking for a weekend getaway, every visitor will find something to do in one of B.C.’s many parks, recreation sites and trail networks.

To reduce the risk of human-caused wildfires, as of July 1, campfires cannot exceed 0.5 metres by 0.5 metres. Last year alone, 850 fires were caused by careless human behaviour and it’s the responsibility of everyone to ensure we reduce that number this year. It’s easy to let our guard down when we are out having a good time, but it’s important to be aware of fire safety.

Visit www.firesafebc. ca for all information related to wildfire activity, campfire bans, health advisories and evacuation orders in B.C.. If you see flames, smoke or an abandoned campfire, please report it by calling *5555 on your cell or 1-800- 663-5555. Our region has an abundance of beautiful lakes and we take great advantage of the opportunities in the summer. To ensure you are

W RV SITES

Development plan nixed Council moves to protect agricultural land Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

One would-be developer’s bid to take a bite out of parkland and build multi-family housing has been rejected by the city. Kelowna city council voted down a proposed zoning amendment for a parcel of land at the end of the Glenmore area’s Crosby Road earlier this week. The change would have allowed D.E. Pilling and Associates to build 40 townhouse unit development. “As far as I’m concerned it would be a no on rezoning,” said Coun. Robert Hobson, after listening to city staff’s recommendations and the proponent’s plea for approval. “I don’t think it would be appropriate for residential development... and it will have repercussions on the Glenmore highlands.” City staff explained that re-zoning the property, which is currently marked as major park/ open space, would be

difficult as it’s set out as parkland for Glenmore residents. The city would have to buy a new portion of land to make up for what’s been lost. Also, the land is part of a larger swath of agricultural property, and piecemealing could create further issues.

‘‘

AS FAR AS I’M CONCERNED IT WOULD BE A NO ON REZONING. Coun. Robert Hobson

While property coowner Andy Sandhu said he realized the property has historically been part of the city’s parkland plans, he was led to believe that would not always be the case. “Five years ago, before ( we) purchased the property I came to the city and

told (a city staffer) about our intentions and asked about the Official Community Plan,” he said. “He said ‘don’t worry about it.’” Sandhu said that he was led to believe the city would release some of the property and development would eventually be a go. So along with his partners, architectural renderings were sketched and topographical and water studies were ordered. Now, all these years later, nothing has really changed, other than a lot of cash spent. “I’ve done what the city asked for,” he said, requesting some clear direction from council. That’s something all elected members agreed they too would like to see from city staff. “We can’t keep putting the owner to nowhere land,” said Coun. Andre Blanleil. “If we are going to keep calling it parkland and not let people develop on it, then should have a plan in place to buy it.”

Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Fears that more orchard paradises will turn into RV parking lots will inch closer to being quashed July 13. As the lead-in to changes to the city’s AgriTourism bylaw, the City of Kelowna is holding a required public hearing. Confab attendees will be able to debate the merits of amendments that, among other things, restrict the number of RV pads on a parcel of farmland and ensure that the sites can only be used during the “tourist season,” defined as the period between April 1 to Oct. 31. “Staff has done a good job at capturing our comments,” said Coun. Luke Stack, when the document was up at Monday’s council meeting. “I’m feeling positive about this moving to a public hearing.”Stack has been most vocal about his concerns since the issue first graced the council agenda a month or so ago. As the contact point

for area residents contending they were overwhelmed that swaths of neighbourhood agricultural land were morphing into potential shantytowns, Stack poked around and was surprised with what he saw. “I went to look at the ones at Morrison Street and they look very much like an established RV Park, and that disturbed me,” said Stack, at that time. “The idea of agri-

Luke Stack tourism is to support local farmers and enhance the viability of a particu-

lar farm. My concern is if the RV part of the park dominates the farm, that’s not supporting the primary goal of agriculture.” He noted some sites had RVs boxed around the base, indicating there was a permanancy to the visitors stay. “The purpose was never to create more housing,” he said. Restricting the period of stay, in addition to other measures, should reduce those concerns.

ly being reinforced by advertising of the benefits of such products. But if some nutritional company claims Vitamin C is good for you and can help enhance the immune system, or Vitamin B helps with nerve function, the regulating agencies are all over that claiming that these statements are wrong and vitamins need to be classified as drugs. It is important to keep one thing in mindâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;when shopping for products or reading labels, billions of dollars are spent annually marketing products that have absolutely no nutritional value and over time could make you very sick. Just imagine if you went into a grocery store and all the packaging was plain, with no pictures or colour, just the name of the product. No cartoon characters no stupid advertising and so on. How do you think that would change things? What do you think would happen if legislation was passed that required health warnings on food products such as: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This product could cause tooth decay, or nutritional deficiencies with prolonged use.â&#x20AC;? What if they had to post graphic photos on the packaging that showed sick children or under nourished adults similar to the way tobacco manufacturers do? This may actually be a good thing for everyone but not for the big food manufacturers. Read the labels and question all the health claims because they are often exaggerated.

One of the greatest health myths of our time is that margarine is healthy for our bodies. Claims like heart healthy and the like are misleading, intended to suggest that butter is bad for you. The fact is margarine is a processed food while butter is natural. You do the research.

I was told by the product demonstrator that this ginger ale contained polyphenols and would help prevent cancerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I am not making this up. Nobody has to tell you that most breakfast cereals usually go too far in their health claims. A few years back General Mills and Quaker both ended up in hot water over their nutrition claims. At on point, the FDA warned General Mills that the claims on Cheerios packaging went too far, claims that essentially would have turned the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 1 breakfast cereal into a medicine.

NEWS W WESTSIDE DAZE

Westgage church youth volunteers lend a hand One of the biggest volunteer groups at this year’s Westside Daze will be the Westgate Church Youth Group. With more than 100 teens in the junior and senior high youth groups, group leader Sean Lalonde is able to pull on a deep well of support to help out with the anual rsummer event. f The Westgate youth group will help during Youth Day on Saturday, as well as at the annual pancake breakfast and kthe hot dog sale held on fThursday. They will also help with the set up and take down of various equipment before and after different Westside Daze events. “We want to serve the kcommunity,” explained

Lalonde. “When Westside Daze approached us, we wanted to help in any way we could.” The skateboard competition will be one of the key events that the youth group will be helping with. Lalonde said he will have kids on hand to help in whatever capacity is needed to make the event go smoothly.

Kerry Park gas leak cleanup continues

Progress over the weekend allowed crews to complete the emergency response to the gas leak discovered in Kerry Park. “The emergency rersponse to the release of fuel in the area is now complete and now we’re working toward getting Kerry Park open and Kelowna Marina back in operation,” said Lance Kayfish, risk manager for the City of Kelowna. There is no estimate, however, on when the park will reopen. It will likely remain closed through the next weekend. “We are continuing to investigate the impacted area to be sure we get all the fuel when we move on to clean the soil. Soil sam-

ples have been collected and sent away for analysis,” said Todd Cashin, environment and land use manager. A fuel smell in the park was reported by a resident June 21 and a sheen of fuel was then detected in the water near Kelowna Marina. Kelowna Fire Department and city staff located a small amount of fuel leaking into the lake from a retaining wall. The wall was patched and an absorbent boom placed in the water to capture the released fuel.

“The skateboard competition is going to be a great event, and it is something we are really looking forward to,” he said. Besides supporting and serving the West Kelowna community, organized volunteering has a great impact on the youth group’s kids themselves, said Lalonde. “We want young people to have positive programs, to give them a choice to keep as busy as possible in a positive way.” Youth Day is a concept and event that Lalonde has high hopes for. And he is hoping organizers will bring it back next year. “We want to see Westdide Daze Youth Day grow. To have it be an event that people really look forward to.”

SPORTS W OKANAGAN SUN

FRED SCHAAD/CONTRIBUTOR

QUARTERBACK Bobby Davis and the Okanagan

Boucherie grad takes over at QB

Sun kick off their 2010 training camp on Monday in Kelowna.

Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

With the many twists and turns of his rookie season now in the past, Peter McCall is ready to hit the ground running. The Okanagan Sun head coach and his B.C. Football Conference squad will kick off the 2010 version of training camp Monday night with close to 80 players on the roster. Expect to see a more self-assured and battledtested McCall this summer than the one that took to the field 12 months ago. “I’d like to believe there’s more of my stamp on the team this year,” said McCall, who led the Sun to a 6-4 record and a berth in the BCFC final in 2009. “Last year was my first, and it was real learning experience for me. “Now everybody knows what I’m about and what my expectations are. I was a little fearful in

Pete McCall making certain decisions last year, but now I’m a lot more confident. “My team knows what I’m all about now.” And in turn, McCall is more confident about the personnel he has to work with this season. Thanks in large part to the input of new player personnel director Howie Zaron, McCall and the Sun have beefed up both the offensive and defensive lines. “The lines both look stronger than last year, with more depth,” McCall said. “That’s where football games are won and lost.”

At quarterback, there’s a changing of the guard as Bobby Davis takes over on a full-time basis from graduating veteran Derek Mann. McCall said the fleetfooted, 6-foot-2, 200pound Davis will pro-

vide the Sun offense with plenty of options. “Bobby is going to give us a new look, he’s more mobile than guys we’ve had, and he might just be the fastest guy on the team.” McCall said of Davis.

“We threw the ball a lot last year, but we’ve retooled the offense more to suit Bobby. He can throw the ball very well but he’s such a big threat to run, he can tuck it and go at any time. He’s arguably our best running back and

he’s such a good athlete, he can do a lot of different things. “Bobby’s has come a long way and now he has that swagger…a good swagger.” For Davis’s part, he’s excited about the potential of the Sun offense which will once again feature allstar receivers Dan Turek and Matt Scheurwater. And after two seasons in a back-up role, the 20year-old Mt. Boucherie grad feels ready to take on the challenge of the No. 1 job. “Just working with the receivers, getting a lot more reps in, I feel like I’ve improved a lot and I’m more comfortable in the pocket,” Davis said. “As far as proving myself, I know they say the job is my mine, but at the same I haven’t secured it yet. “I have to go out there and get the job done because we have other guys that can play the position well, too.” On defense, the move

of linebacker Max Caron to Concordia University was the most significant off-season loss for the Sun, but McCall is confident the club’s overall depth will help to compensate. “I’d say it’s going to be more of a grinder team and we’re going to have the ability to play tough defense,” he said. “It’s just going to be a matter of getting that identity…I think overall we have a stronger group.” The Sun will hold nightly training camp sessions from Monday through Friday of next week at the Apple Bowl’s east practise field, then will hold a brown-and-orange scrimmage on Saturday, July 10 at 1 p.m. The Sun will open the 2010 BCFC season Saturday, July 24 in Kamloops. The club’s home opener is Saturday, July 31, 7 p.m., against South Surrey Big Kahuna Rams. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Fraser to compete on Kelowna dressage mount Graeme Corbett CONTRIBUTOR

Armstrong’s Sylvie Fraser has got a brand new ride. She still has to tow it all the way to Kentucky though. That is where she and her new mount, Tango (aka World Star LHF), a seven-year-old Hanoverian gelding, will compete in the North American Junior Rider Dressage Championships, July 28Aug. 1. This will be Fraser’s second stab at NorAms; competing in her international debut last year, she placed a respectable 19th out of 36 junior entries. “I was pretty well pre-

pared because my coach (Janine Little) prepared me well. I was in a good mental frame of mind so I didn’t get nervous,” said Fraser. Added Little: “That experience will definitely help her. She knows what it’s all about now.” Having trotted away with youth champion titles from each of the three FEI (Fédération Equestre Internationale) competitions she entered this season (Red Deer, Edmonton and Kelowna), Fraser will go into this year’s competition armed with increased confidence. “I’m hoping for better results this year, both individually and as a (Canadi-

IPGA…

Ryan Matiushyk made the most of home-course advantage to win the latest stop on the Callaway IPGA Tour. Matiushyk’s four-under par 68 Monday at the Kelowna Golf and Country Club was good for a onestroke victory over Ian Henson of Sun Rivers Resort and Jesse Crowe of Canoe Creek. It was the first IPGA Tour win for Matiushyk who recently moved to the Okanagan from Alberta, and

he picked up $575 for his efforts. A four-way tie fourth saw Hillview’s Keith Vandenbrink, Capilano’s Cory Draper, Spallumcheen’s Myles Johnson, and Kevin Maxwell of Salmon Arm all shoot rounds of 70. Jon Kadin of Gallagher’s came in at 71. A total of 42 professionals were greeted by ideal weather and excellent playing conditions at KGCC. The next stop on the Callway Tour is this coming Monday at Rivershore Golf Links in Kamloops.

W OUR VIEW

We all share a crude thirst

he images of oil-covered pelicans flopping around on deserted Louisiana beaches are heartbreaking. The numbers surrounding the oil rig disaster in the Gulf of Mexico are frightening. Thousands of barrels of thick, poisonous crude gushing unfettered into fishing beds and beaches for the past two months, subsequent millions of litres of toxic chemicals poured into the water to try to break up the goo. While government officials and oil executives talk brave-

ly about the amount of money they’re willing to spend to “make it right,” the toll of the disaster defies a budget ledger sheet. How do you put a price on the death of countless creatures? How do you quantify the tourists who won’t vacation on Gulf beaches? How do you accurately account for the lost livelihoods from fisheries that will likely be closed for years to come? It’s easy to blame the oil company, British Petroleum, whose

rig blew up, severing the pipe from which the oil is gushing. It’s easy to cast eyes upon regulators who often succumb to industry assurances they can police themselves. It’s easy to denounce governments so hungry for huge tax revenues generated by oil exploration and drilling they often ignore the warnings of environmentalists. But we must all shoulder some of the blame. For the ongoing disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. For the Exx-

on Valdez spill in Alaska in the 1989. North Americans are responsible for one quarter of the world’s daily oil consumption. And despite years of warnings that this finite resource is running out, our consumption continues to increase two per cent a year. Until we come to grips with those numbers, and work seriously to reverse them, we’ll continue to compel oil companies to put our environment at risk to satisfy our thirst for crude.

Korean War may be mostly forgotten here, but not in Korea

ANMUNJOM, KOREA— There is no better place on Earth than here at Korea’s demilitarized zone to observe the contrast between democratic capitalism and state control. The DMZ is little more than an hour’s drive north of Seoul, now the 10th largest city in the world and a model of industrial, technological and social innovation. Directly ahead, beyond a grey fortress guarded by soldiers and land mines, is North Korea, the world’s last Stalinist dictatorship. Not much can be seen beyond: a couple of guard towers, a propaganda village with a huge North Korean flag, and distant

hills largely stripped of trees by imprisoned people in need of any food and fuel they can find. My visit here was with a group of Korean War veterans from Canada, Britain, Australia, the United States, Greece, Ethiopia and other allied countries to mark the 60th anniversary of the Korean War. It began June 25, 1950, with a swift and brutal invasion by North Korea, armed and manipulated by Stalin and Mao Tse Tung, who would soon send in Chinese army divisions

to balance the unexpected defence of the U.S. and its allies. The quiet pride of these veterans and the gratitude of the South Korean people was Tom something to see. At a Fletcher train station in Seoul, an elderly Korean man burst into tears at the sight of Quebec veteran Alexandre Sexton in his Royal 22nd Regiment uniform, rushing forward to hug him and accept his gift of a Canadian flag lapel pin. As our tour bus rolled through the city, young South Korean men do-

ing their compulsory military service snapped to attention and saluted when they saw the small flags in the bus window. Sixty years on, not many in Canada remember that 26,791 Canadians served in this awful war, that 1,500 were wounded and more than 500 died. Many will remember only the wisecracking doctors of the TV show M*A*S*H, which mocked military bureaucracy but never got around to explaining why 1.7 million Americans risked their lives here in the three-year conflict. It was a UN “police action,” not a real war, some joke. Tell that to the Koreans who survived the mecha-

nized slaughter of civilians and soldiers alike by communist invaders who overran most of the country before being pushed back. Tell it to the families of the 28,500 U.S. soldiers who are at this moment still standing with the Republic of Korea army against an increasingly erratic, nuclear-armed madman and his millionstrong force to the north. It not only was a real war, it still is. As white-haired veterans saluted and wiped away tears last week at the Canadian, Australian and New Zealand monuments at Gapyeong, North Korea declared a “no sail” zone around See Fletcher A23

Ponds & Waterfalls?

W INSPIRATION

Caring community goes beyond family Open letter to the citizens of Kelowna and West Kelowna: In January of this year, our seven year old son Aaron was diagnosed with Burkittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lymphoma, an uncommon and aggressive form of cancer. The initial week following diagnoses was a difficult one as we struggled to cope with the many new and unfamiliar necessaries of living life with cancerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;supporting a sick child at BC Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital (BCCH), trying to continue life as normal as possible for our other children and learning the vocabulary of cancer with all the medical terminology that goes along with it. After five months of aggressive chemotherapy, we are happy to report that Aaron is back home as the oncologists at BCCH can no longer detect any cancer cells. His is a success story. However, this letter is not about cancer nor is it about the great work the people at BCCH did to save our sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. This letter is an en-

couragement to all who call Kelowna home that we live in a caring, giving and most sympathetic community. You see, although we went through a most trying and heart-wrenching period, our journey was made so much easier through the support of so many. Never have we felt so loved than during these last few months. And without knowing who many of you are we want to say thank you for supporting us in so many ways. Surely, Kelowna has its share of social ills. However, we experienced the real Kelowna that most tourists and many Kelownians never see. We saw school communities gather as one to support a cherished friend who was no longer sitting at his desk in his classroom; we were blessed by church communities who prayed and offered practical support as a family should; we witnessed a sports community come together to help out their fellow athlete who was sidelined for the rest of the season.

In short, we were looked after on so many levels by so many who adopted us as their own. We have lived in Kelowna for almost two decades with the knowledge that we have no family here to support us. That statement no longer applies as we realize that family is not necessarily based on genetic makeup or history. Our family consists of hundreds of people living right hereâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;doing life together. We would like to conclude with this: It is our true belief that all those who helped us in any way, from â&#x20AC;&#x153;get better soonâ&#x20AC;? cards to personal visits of encouragement, from monetary donations to pot-lucks, from ice skating fundraisers to raffle draws, were an active participant in the recovery and return to health of our youngest son. To that we will be forever indebted. Our most humble thanks, Neil Wong, The Wong Family, Kelowna

W HEALTH CARE

KGH staff go beyond standard of excellence To the editor: I had quadruple bypass surgery in 2004. Since then, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had eight stents put in. In 2006, I was in hospital for problems with my chest. They canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put in any more stents. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting better instead of worse. On Jan. 5, we went to see Avatar in 3D. It was so exciting, I started having chest pains. I took

three sprays while there. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get up and leave because we were in the middle of the aisle. I stuck it out until we left. I took three more sprays during the night. The next day, my wife took me to emergency. She drove me down and was trying to figure out parking. One of the girls who worked at the hospital showed my wife how

to use the meter. She asked about me. I said I thought I was having a heart attack. She told me to get right in, followed me in, got another employee to put me in a wheelchair and they got me into emergency right away. They came quickly with the electrocardiogram and put a shot in me. There must have been about 10 to 12 doctors

and nurses around me for a good part of the afternoon. Later on that evening, they sent me up to CCU. They told me Tina would be looking after me. They said she was a good nurse. She was excellent, one of the best nurses Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen. That night, Sylvia was on duty and she was an excellent nurse too. Next

morning was Genevieve. She was more than excellent, just like a mother looking after a baby, so gentle and loving and kind. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in the hospital many times. This experience was above common, and above excellence. Gilbert Corman, Kelowna

W MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Convert one person to helping environment To the editor: We are six students from Glenrosa Middle School, Westbank. We were in a Grade 8 Social Justice class learning about issues around the world and our assignment was about making a difference. Our group decided that we wanted to make our difference in the environment. We pooled together our ideas and chose to

make a website featuring information and ways to help. We also made a video to raise even more awareness. But then came the more challenging part; getting people involved. It occurred to us that not everyone is aware of the environmental disaster we are currently in. For example, did you know that by the age of only six months, each Canadian

has consumed as many resources as the average person in the developing world consumes in his or her lifetime? Or that just 10 seconds of idling your vehicle uses more energy than is used to restart the vehicle? Shocking, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it? Ergo, the purpose of this letter.

W NORTH KOREA

Even Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patience thin Fletcher from A22 itself, a signal that last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nuclear test may soon be followed by short-range missile tests. And yet, there are signs of hope. A Canadian Forces officer still presides over entries and exits to the Kaesong Industrial Complex, built recently by Hyundai and other South Korean cor-

porations inside North Korea. It employs North Koreans and has not been shut down by their regime despite tensions over the unprovoked torpedoing of a South Korean patrol ship in March. China still backs North Korea, but its patience is being tested. Twice in the past month, Chinese businessmen have been arrested for

straying beyond authorized travel areas on sales trips inside North Korea. In the first of these incidents, three of these newly entrepreneurial Chinese citizens were shot and killed. Even here, capitalism is slowly winning the long war with communism. Tom Fletcher is Black Pressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; legislative reporter. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

We knew that we could make a difference in our own lives by following the four Râ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (reduce, reuse, recycle and rethink), but to make a true difference we felt that we needed to impact someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life.

Local band opening act for Bon Jovi in Edmonton

Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

When The Malibu Knights aren’t playing around in studio, they’re playing around on the playground. Literally. For nearly a decade, frontman Dan Harden has been building playgrounds as a side job and he’s now got the whole band in on the deal. But a the need for day-labour might soon be a thing of the past. The local band was supposed to release its new CD July 6, but has since put all launch parties on hold until it returns from yet another road trip—this time opening for Kid Rock and Bon Jovi in Edmonton on July 15. That’s right, you read that right— the Malibu Knights, a generally acoustic music band who can often be found playing in the regular rotation at Doc Willoughby’s Pub, are going to open for one of the biggest rock bands of all time. The group recently added a lit-

tle voltage to its sound, having won a contest on OurStage.com to secure the gig. “I kind of signed up as a joke because I was like, ‘It would be cool to open for Bon Jovi,’” Harden explained. Cool it will be, but securing the slot was nowhere near as easy as he makes it sound. After entering the contest, the band’s songs quickly rose to the top of the pile when fans started voting online, but that was only half the battle. The voting put it on a top-30 shortlist and meant Bon Jovi’s managers were soon on the phone with some tough demands and tight timelines. The band was given one night to pull together a huge string of promotional material—bios, video, website

information and so forth. With Harden’s girlfriend driving him home from Kamloops— where he was building another playground—and Rod Anderson and Dean Irving working from home, the three pulled out the laptops and iPhones and started working. They had live footage from a year and a half’s worth of touring to edit, rewrites to their biographies to complete and a website that was not looking polished. They pulled an all-nighter, working from the road and home simultaneously and the effort paid off. Putting it all on hold to make the band succeed has become a trademark for The Malibu Knights, whose members met at the Centre for Arts and Technology where Harden and Ir-

ving taught music theory and audio engineering and Anderson worked as a technician. “Making money is the main focus, or else we’re not going to be able to keep doing what we do,” Harden said. “Playing the show is about five per cent of being in a band.” It takes money to work with producers like Jonathan Campbell, for example. Campbell’s work has hit the top of the charts in New Zealand where he is living. He happens to be Harden’s cousin, but only agreed to work with the band when they got good enough, Harden said. The group flew him to Kelowna to produce about half the songs on the album due out next week and worked

with local sound engineer Adam Wittke, winner of the B.C. Interior Music Awards sound engineer of the year, on the rest. Everything the band does is based out of Kelowna, from their T-shirts, which come from Cre8ed Clothing, in Rutland, to their designs and logos, which are done by Kevin Moore, a local audio engineer. And whether July 15 marks a turning point or not, the band will be back on the road playing for the rest of the summer. And as for the playgrounds, the band’s members currently are booked to build one in Creston, where the Malibu Knights will be play a show and then assemble swings on the wild ride that is life on the road. The Malibu Knights CD will be released July 6 on iTunes. For concert dates follow them on Twitter or check out the website at www.malibuknights.com jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

W MOVIE PREVIEWS

Airbender offers alternative to Eclipse T he latest saga in the Twilight Saga: Eclipse, opened on Wednesday but like many of these movie franchises, if you are not already a fan there is probably nothing I can say to convince you to go see it. However, if the trend of the first two movies continues, it will likely draw in new fans and it will be the biggest of the series so far. It continues the story of Bella who is once again surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Ed-

MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis ward and her friendship with Jacob, knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the struggle between vampire and werewolf. As with all of this type of franchise, my recommendation is to watch it during a matinee or wait a week for the initial rush to see it dies down. Fans of the series will already know that the final book, Breaking Dawn, is being filmed in two parts, the first of

which is being released November 2011 and the second sometime in 2012. In a smart bit of counter programming, The Last Airbender was released yesterday. It is based upon a very successful Nickelodeon animated series which is called Avatar: The Last Airbender. However, a little movie came out last December which had the same name, so they simply shortened it. What is smart about the timing of its release is that it gives an audience that may not be interested in Twilight (young males) an alternative to watch. It is set in a fantasy world where there are four nations represented by the four elements: Air,

Water, Earth and Fire. There is balance until the Fire Nation launches an attack on the others and the only hope is a young man with the power to manipulate all four elements. It is written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, who is best known for movies like The Sixth Sense and Signs, but it is made for the audience that made the animated series popular. It carries a PG rating with a warning of fantasy violence. In the midst of all the summer popcorn movies, The Paramount Theatre is presenting two choices for people who crave something different. In Harry Brown, Michael Caine plays the title

character, a modest lawabiding citizen, retired Marine and a widower who lives alone on a depressed housing estate. When his best friend is murdered by thugs, Harry feels compelled to act and is forced to dispense his own brand of justice. Also starring Emily Mortimer. Mortimer also stars in City Island, along with Andy Garcia, Alan Arkin and Julianna Margulies, in a comedy about a dysfunctional Bronx familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s habit of lying and how their seemingly innocent and not-so-innocent deceptions collide with hilarious results.

Parisienne stereotypes stripped away by columnist I

t has been over a week since I returned from my food and wine frolic in Paris. This was not my first trip to this glorious mecca of all things delicious and fashionable, but it was one where I caught of glimpse of what life would be like as a Parisian. Bottom line: I want it. My friend and I decided to rent an apartment instead of going the ho-

hilarating. Although only there for 10 days, we were able to become almost “regulars” at the bakery up the street, the wine bar around the corner and the hole in the wall café.

Yes people, believe it or not there is bad food in Paris and it is usually found at the tourist traps. Best chance for success is to do homework before you go (Trip Advisor is a solid choice for an Internet research) and while there, watch where the locals go and/or ask them (in your best broken French) for suggestions. Paris has an overwhelming number of restaurants disbursed

through every arrondissement so don’t be surprised when asking about a restaurant nearby if the local has never heard of it— there are just too many. Note Stereotype #1: Parisians are rude—Incorrect! Extremely generous and friendly, attempting to speak their language will provide big points as well as mentioning that you are Canadian. When in Paris, eat foie gras.

W CONCERT SERIES

Bilingual musician tours ORL branches Will Stroet, a Vancouver-based bilingual performer and educator, will be visiting 27 of the Okanagan Regional Library’s branches this summer performing free concerts for children of all ages as part of their Summer Reading Club program. Stroet’s blues, rock, and pop-inspired tunes about animals, the environment and active living fit perfectly with this year’s Summer Reading Club theme of “Reading Rocks.” Stroet begins his tour on Monday, July 5, with a 10 a.m. performance at the ORL’s Kelowna branch and a 1 p.m. show at the Rutland branch. Over the next three weeks Stroet tours to branches in the south all the way to Osoyoos and Princeton, then north through the Shuswap and up to Golden and Revel-

stoke. His tour ends on July 22 with a 1 p.m. show at the Salmon Arm library branch. Information about all of Stroet’s concerts can be found on the ORL website. Since 2005, Stroet has released four CDs of original music: “Let’s All Dance” (November 2005), “Will et sa maman: Chantons et dansons” (July 2007), “My Backyard” (November 2008), and “Dans mon jardin” (May 2009). Recently, “My Backyard” was nominated for “Best Children’s Recording of the Year (2009)” by the Western Canadian Music Awards. The Summer Reading Club is sponsored in partnership by the ORL, the B.C.

FOIE GRAS is a guilty cuisine pleasure in Paris that must be experienced. is a controversial food due to the alleged mistreatment of the duck and geese that so graciously provide us their liver. Some practices of farming our feathered friends have improved by turning to natural feeding, however, it remains a guilty pleasure for me. Served as a cold paté or parfait, it melts in your mouth—seared in a pan it is velvet on the tongue and almost indescribable. And, unlike in our country, it is unbelievably affordable. Another dish you may notice set in front of everyone from hip teens, middle aged blue collar workers to the chic and fashionable, would be beef tartar. Many of you have probably tasted this delicious raw beef entrée usually presented in small portions as an appetizer in a fancy long course meal.

In Paris, I must admit, it is visually unappealing and utterly shocking. Served in huge portions, it is literally straight from the grinder so it looks quite like a mound of ground beef that you see under butcher’s glass. Once you get past the visual, however, the beef tartar is remarkably delicious. Gussied up with spices and such, with a blindfold you would have no qualms. And, as mentioned, size portions are huge— it really is shocking how Parisians remain so slim. Note Stereotype #2: French food portions are tiny and overpriced—Incorrect!

Buick Regal, Chev Cruze key to GM resurgence 2011 is a pivotal year for the survival of General Motors Lorne Drury CONTRIBUTOR

CONTRIBUTED

ENGINEERED in Europe and designed in Korea, there’s no mistaking the Regal as anything but a Buick with its signature waterfall grille like all other Buicks. The 2011 model will be brought in from Germany but production for 2012 is to begin in Oshawa early next year.

Next year, 2011, will be a pivotal year for General Motors as it attempts to climb back up the sales charts. With the Saturn, Pontiac, Hummer and Oldsmobile lines gone, The General is staking its future on the Chevrolet and Buick models as it fights its way back to profitability. During a recent media preview of its 2011 lineup, I was one of the first automotive journalists in Canada to drive a few of the

vehicles that will be key to increased sales for GM. Among them are the Chevrolet Cruze and Buick Regal, both of which will be introduced to the Canadian public in the next few months. Also on hand were a pair of revamped heavyduty trucks, the Chevrolet Silverado HD and the GMC Sierra HD along with a several ‘green’ vehicles in the GM fleet including the Silverado Hybrid, Cadillac Escalade Hybrid, Denali Hybrid and the Sierra Hybrid. On the sporty front, we also had an opportunity for some seat time in the sexy-looking Cadillac CTS Coupe, also new for See GM Rebirth B2

GM takes design clues from European car makers GM Rebirth from B1 2011. The Cruze replaces the Cobalt in the Chevrolet lineup and will go head-to-head in the com-

pact segment against class leaders Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic and Mazda3. The Cobalt has not been a big success for GM, so the European-in-

spired Cruze will be a welcome addition to the fleet. As other manufacturers like Ford are now doing, GM is starting to build ‘world cars’ and the Cruze

CHEVROLET hasn’t been a real player in the compact

market for years. The Cobalt has been a disappointment, but GM is hoping for much better things with its latest ‘world car’, the compact Cruze shown here, already on sale in China and Europe.

preview said the Cruze would be “competitive” price-wise with the Civic and Corolla. For 2010, the Civic sedan prices ranged from $16,990 to $26,800, while the Corolla went from $15,160 to $24,680. Our Cruze tester, which I was able to take on a short 15-minute drive through the streets of Brampton, Ont. was the LT model, which will be the mid-range trim. Base will be the LS, while an LTZ will top the line. Two engines are available: a base 1.8-litre fourcylinder, making 136 hp and 123 lb/ft of torque and an Ecotec 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, putting out 138 hp and 148 lb/ft of torque. We drove the Ecotec turbo mated with a sixspeed automatic transmission. While I didn’t get a chance to take it on the highway, around the city it performed well- very quiet with decent performance for a car in this category. The electric power steering was a bit too light for my liking, but the car was easy to manoeuvre in a tight parking lot, which I managed to scout out. As far as handling is concerned, all my driving was at low to moderate speeds so I’ll have to wait until another time to pass judgment. However, I was particularly impressed with the styling, which is definitely a step up from the bland-looking Cobalt it

D#30301

will replace. The Cruze has a coupe-like look from the side and a nicely designed front end with the signature Chevrolet bowtie logo front and centre on the grille. The rear has a more generic look, in my opinion. Our LT-trim model came with comfortable cloth seats that provided generous legroom, even for a six-footer like myself. There was also adequate room for up to three passengers in the rear of the four-door sedan if the front seats were not at their rear-most positions. Many entry-level model vehicles are covered with too many hard plastic bits inside, but not so with the Cruze. The car provided for us had a richlooking two-tone interior with reddish cloth inserts on the dash and seats that I particularly liked, but it may not be to everyone’s taste though. Leather and other convenience features will be available in the LTZ trim, I’m told. Meanwhile, the Regal name makes its return to the Buick lineup after an absence of a few years. This time around, though, it’s a European-inspired mid-size sports sedan with front-wheel drive that will be slotted just below the LaCrosse sedan. The 2011 Regal, based on an Opel model sold in Europe, will be brought in from Germany with proSee GM B3

THE CADILLAC CTS Coupe (above) joins the Sedan and Sport Wagon in the CTS lineup for 2011. It is the first coupe Cadillac has offered in a decade. The CTS Coupe looks great from any angle (right), but its distinctive rear design with prominent dual exhaust tips looks particularly impressive. GM from B2 duction beginning on the 2012’s in Oshawa early next year. Our tester featured a 2.4-litre Ecotec DOHC direct injection inline four-cylinder, mated with a six-speed automatic. This engine is also rfound in the popular Equinox crossover, built in rIngersoll, Ont. A turbocharged engine will also be offered in the Regal, we were told. The Ecotec four, like the one on the Cruze, runs on regular unleaded fuel. In CXL trim, I expect the 2011 model like the one we drove will likely price out in the mid-tohigh $30s, although exact prices won’t be an-

nounced until closer to launch date. Expected to compete against cars like the Mazda6, Volkswagen Passat, Volvo S60 and Acura TSX, the Regal CXL sits on 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels. Like the Cruze, this is another ‘world car’ that is already doing well in overseas markets such as China. This ain’t your father’s Buick, and GM doesn’t want it to be. As executives emphasized at the launch of the LaCrosse last year, a main focus of Buick these days is to get younger buyers into the brand as Cadillac has been able to do. The Regal seems a likely model to do just that with its sportier look and feel compared

with the LaCrosse. The CXL we drove was well equipped with a power sunroof, eight-way power seats, rear parking assist, leather seats, heated up front, a 320-watt Harman Kardon premium audio system, dual zone climate control, OnStar, XM satellite radio and 40 GB hard drive with navigation system. Most or all of these features are part of a preferred equipment package. While the Regal is sportier than any other recent Buicks, there’s no

CHEVROLET EXECS say the new Cruze will be competitive price-wise with the

Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic. While it will be an entry-level vehicle, it doesn’t look the part inside. The LT-trim model, shown here, has a two-tone interior treatment with red fabric on the dash and seat cushions to add a splash of colour.

doubt about its heritage from a front view. The same waterfall grille common to all other Buicks is a dead give-away. The sporty look of the Regal comes in part from a coupe-like side profile and rear deck spoiler. Inside, the cabin is richly finished with a look somewhat similar to its LaCrosse sibling. During our short drive the seating appeared comfortable and visibility good in all directions. Of course, the rear parking assist will help when reversing into parking spots. Again, we only got to drive the Regal on city streets, but the car appeared smooth and quiet with adequate acceleration. The upcoming turbo model will no doubt offer more exciting driving dynamics. More complete driving impressions will be available when the Regal has its Canadian launch in a couple of weeks. Moving over to Cadillac, the 2011 CTS Coupe will enhance the CTS lineup, which already boasts the Sedan and Sport Wagon. Starting at $47,450, the coupe will be offered in both rear- and all-wheel drive. It is the first true Cadillac coupe in a decade and comes with a 304 hp

DOHC V6 engine, paired with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. Shorter and lower in profile than the CTS Sedan, the handsome CTS Coupe will compete with sports coupes like the Infiniti G37 and the BMW 335i. On the truck front, the Silverado and Sierra HD models are bigger and stronger than ever. The Silverado will have a 9,072 kg (21,700 lb) towing capacity and a payload of 2,873 kg (6,335 lb) thanks to a new suspension and frame. It is available with a Duramax 6.6-litre turbo-diesel engine, making 397 hp and an amazing 765 lb/ft of torque. Yet, it is 11 per cent more fuel efficient on the highway than the 2010 model. The Silverado and Sierra HD will be available this summer. These days, automotive customers are very fickle lot. There’s not a lot of brand loyalty and even when there is, it’s a case of ‘what have you done for me lately’ as new models are needed all the time to catch the eye of the consumer. So for 2011, GM will certainly be in the game with all the new hardware like the ones mentioned above joining their ranks.

From the frustrating drama of the G8/G20 hosting kerfuffle to the warm and fuzzy memories of Sydney Crosby’s goal amidst the spectacle of Vancouver’s Winter Olympics, we certainly seem to be playing a more prominent role on the world stage these days.

bread-and-butter minivans of Chrysler Windsor to multiple models from Honda Alliston, Toyota in Cambridge and Woodstock, new crossovers from Ford Oakville, even popular re-born muscle machines like the Camaro from GM Oshawa and the Challenger from Chrysler in Brampton. And take the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox, for example. Built side-by-side with its GMC Terrain sibling at CAMI Automotive in Ingersoll, Ontario, the second-generation Equinox has proved popular across North America. GM refers to it as a “just the right size crossover” and, according to dealer reports, it is drawing more than half its buyers away from other brands. Which isn’t all that surprising because, when it debuted at the 2009 Auto Show in Detroit, the Equinox made an immediate and favourable first impression as a new benchmark combination of previous polar opposites, incorporating quality and economy in the same vehicle.

THE 2010 Chevrolet Equinox, a compact crossover that carries its “Made in Canada” reputation proudly, achieving new benchmark levels in interior and exterior styling and quality. The Equinox took inspiration from the trendsetting Malibu and Traverse, combining elements of both into a look that features Chevy’s new signature global face, with a two-tier grille prominently accented by the gold bowtie badge. The wheelbase in this

second-generation version is unchanged at 2,857 mm (112.5 inches) but the body is about 25 mm (one inch) shorter in length. The Equinox is also 25 mm (one inch) wider with a corresponding wider front track for more confident handling. From the side, the pro-

file looks sleeker because the windshield base has been moved 75 mm (three inches) forward for improved aerodynamic efficiency. The fender shapes are strong, but not as strong as on the over-the-top GMC Terrain. Wraparound headlights and dual round Chevy-style taillights balance both ends of the design. There are thoughtful touches incorporated into the design, like rocker panels that were integrated into the doors in order to make it easier to get in and out of the vehicle. They narrow the stepin access and protect pant legs from slush or dirt on the rockers. A flush-fitting “exposed-edge” windshield and tight gaps on the rear glass reduce wind noise. That kind of attention to detail carries on inside with interior build and quality levels that rival premium imports. The layout is handsome and ergonomic with cool ice-blue ambient lighting illuminating

a “floating” centre stack, encircling the centre-console cupholders and directing small pools of light into the door pull cups. Very classy. The glovebox is oversized and, along with extra storage bins, the centre armrest/console opens to a space large enough to swallow a laptop. The seats are comfortable and both rows adjust fore and aft for a choice of comfort or cargo room. That MultiFlex rear seat flexibility, which allows the seat to be moved fore or aft nearly 200 mm (7.9 inches), helps the Equinox achieve best rear legroom in its class. With the 60/40-splitback rear seat moved all the way forward, the cargo area opens up to 889 litres (31.4 cubic feet) of luggage space. Flip the rear seat forward and there’s a maximum 1803 litres (63.7 cubic feet) of room. The Equinox cabin is quiet with extra insulation bolstered by a unique See Quality B5

MOTORING W MAZDA2

Zoom, Zoom goes sub-compact Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR

Think of the 2011 Mazda2 as Zoom, Zoom, concentrated. This is the sub-compact Mazda Canada has been hungering for since it debuted in 2007 at the Geneva Motor Show. It took some doing to get it here because U.S. buying trends influence Canada, and there small cars, especially subcompact hatchbacks, are shunned. That was until two years ago when (US)$4 per gallon regular gas brought many Americans to their senses. At the same time, the arrival of fun and funky sub-compacts like the Honda Fit, smart and Toyota Yaris have made this segment grow to 13 per cent of Canadian sales. Mazda, without a competitor, was seeing Mazda-inclined buyers going elsewhere for subcompacts. To Mazda’s credit, when headquarters in Japan made the decision, they moved quickly. For example, the worldwide president flew into this year’s Toronto

Auto Show to announce introduction would be moved up from fall to just about the time you are reading this. It’s well known that Mazda and Ford co-developed this car based on the earlier Mazda Demio. And while much such as the platform and drivetrian are shared, the differences are in the details. Chief of these was reengineering the car so that it embodied the zoomzoom-DNA which means the car is foremost fun to drive. With a 1.5-litre, fourcylinder engine, it is not the most powerful in the segment. So to get the “spirit of a sportscar” feeling, Mazda put the Mazda2 on a diet to improve the powerto-weight ratio. Employing the same “gram” strategy used on the MX-5 Miata, engineers shaved off 2.9 kg (6.4 lb) by optimizing the wiring harness and 22.6 kg (50 lb) by going to a 53 per cent use of high tensile steel in the body structure. And those are just two of dozens of examples. The result was an overall 10 per cent reduction

over the previous model for a curb weight of 1,042 kg, making it (with manual transmission) the lightest car in the segment. Not only was the suspension lightened but it was re-tuned for increased handling and steering response. The result is a fun ride. I drove the car with the five-speed manual and four-speed automatic transmissions. On a wide selection of road surfaces on Montreal’s south shore where North American press launch was staged, the Mazda2 tracked straight and true even on heavily crowned secondary roads. On one stretch that had a years of cold patch repairs, I was expecting shudder feedback through the steering wheel but such was not the case. Mazda expects 65 per cent of buyers will opt for the automatic but my advice is go for the manual because of the delightful gearbox and the sporty overall feel. The true test was entering the on-ramp for the super highway. Here you’ve got to have all 100 ponies work-

priced under $14,000. It is also the first Mazda to be equipped with a Brake Override system to deal with unexpected acceleration. What it does is favour the brake pedal over the accelerator pedal so the car can be brought to a safe stop. As noted above, there are two trim levels. Both have 15-inch tires with steel wheels on the GX and alloys on the GS. Along with power doors/mirrors/locks, the GX comes with a 60-40 split/fold rear seat and tilt steering. Air is a $1,195

THE 2011 Mazda2 GS (shown) is the top of two trim levels. It can be spotted by the alloy wheels and the side rocker panel extension. Pricing for the GS starts at $18,195. option on the GX but standard on the GS. Optional ($895) on the GX is the Convenience Package that includes amenities like heated door mirrors, steering-wheel mounted controls for audio and cruise and four speakers instead of the standard two. The package is standard on the GS. There are a number of accessories like Bluetooth connectivity, Pioneer indash multi-media centre, bigger alloy wheels and a suspension lowering kit. Also offered are bodyside decals called “Mazda Skins.”

These graphics come in four themes and three sizes. With seven paint colours, it makes 84 ways to dress up your Mazda2. The pert styling is more than just to please the eye as extensive wind tunnel testing was done to improve fuel economy and quell outside noise. Proof of this was in the highway driving where noise intrusion in the cabin was minimal even with the outside mirrors close to the front seats.

ing for you. I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised that the Mazda2 was able to merge smoothly. On the highway the flow of traffic in the Montreal area averages 120 km/h and at this speed the tach showed about 3,000 rpm for both manual and automatic. Yes, you can have fun but you can save money too. Fuel ratings for the manual are 6.8/5.6L/100 km city/highway and 7.7/6.0L/100 km for the automatic. Mazda claims the manual highway mileage is the best in class. Suspension is MacStruts with a stabilizer bar at front and a twist beam rear. Brakes are discs front and drums rear. Cost for this fivedoor, front-driver starts at $13,995 for the base GX and $18,195 for the GS. There is a special Yozora Edition limited to just 500 examples and priced at $19,280. The manual transmission is standard with the automatic optional at $1,100. Dynamic Stability Control with traction control, anti-lock brakes with electronic brake force distribution with brake assist and six airbags are all standard. Not bad for a car

See your Ford of Canada Dealer for specific equipment and other limitations. **Program in effect from July 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010 (the “Program Period”) To qualify for the Ford Recycle Your Ride Program rebate (the “Rebate(s)”), customer must first qualify for either the Government of Canada’s “Retire Your Ride Program” or Summerhill Impact's "Car Heaven Program". To qualify for the "Retire Your Ride Program", customer must turn in a 1995 model year or older vehicle that is in running condition (able to start and move) and has been properly registered and insured for the last 6 months (12 months in B.C.). If you qualify under the “Retire Your Ride Program”, the Government of Canada will provide you with $300 cash or a rebate on the purchase of a 2004 and newer vehicle. To qualify for the "Car Heaven Program", customer must turn in a 2003 model year or older vehicle that is in running condition and has been properly registered and insured for the last 6 months. If customer qualifies for either the Government of Canada’s “Retire Your Ride Program” or Summerhill Impact's "Car Heaven Program", Ford of Canada (“Ford”) will provide an additional rebate, if customer purchases or leases an eligible new 2010 Ford or Lincoln vehicle, in the amount of $1,000 (Focus, Fusion Mustang, Transit Connect, Ranger), $2,000 (Taurus, Escape, Edge, Flex , Explorer, Sport Trac), or $3,000 (F150, F250-550, E-Series, Expedition, MKZ, MKS, MKX, MKT, Navigator) (each an “Eligible Vehicle”). To be eligible for the Rebate(s), Ford must receive the following from customer, within 30 days of delivery of new Ford/Lincoln: (1) signed Ford Recycle Your Ride Claim Form; and (2) signed original ownership transferring customer vehicle to either "Retire Your Ride" or "Car Heaven" or "Authorized Recycler Drop-Off Receipt". The Rebate will be paid directly to customer in the form of a cheque. The Rebates are available to residents of Canada only and payable in Canadian dollars. Eligible Vehicle must be purchased, leased, or factory ordered during the Program Period to qualify for a Rebate. The Rebates can be used in conjunction with most retail consumer offers made available by Ford at either the time of factory order or delivery, but not both. The Rebates are raincheckable. The Rebates are not combinable with the previous Ford Recycle Your Ride incentives in effect from September 3, 2009 to March 1, 2010 and from May 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010. The Rebates are not available on any vehicle receiving CPA, GPC, or Daily Rental Rebates and the Commercial Fleet Rebate Program (CFIP). The Government of Canada’s “Retire Your Ride Program” and Summerhill Impact's "Car Heaven" Program are not available to residents of Northwest Territories, Yukon Territory, or Nunavut; and, therefore, Ford Recycle Your Ride Rebates are also not available to residents of Northwest Territories, Yukon Territory, or Nunavut. Other provincially specific rewards may be available in association with the Government's "Retire Your Ride" Program or SummerHill Impact's "Car Heaven" Program.
