COs on the hunt for poachers

Impact on HST vote remains a question mark

Judie Steeves

STAFF REPORTER

STAFF REPORTER

While there seem to be more ethical hunters out this fall hunting season, there are also more than usual who are not identifying their target adequately before squeezing the trigger. Conservation officer Ed Seitz says there are more hunters than usual who are reporting themselves when they mistakenly shoot an animal that is not in season, which he says is the difference between an ethical hunter and a poacher. The poacher, whether intentionally or unintentionally, slinks off after taking the shot, either with or without the meat, while the ethical hunter admits his mistake and contacts the CO service immediately. That allows the meat to be saved for donation to a local charity, and prevents the full force of the law from being imposed for the mistake, says Seitz. However, he is concerned that hunters are not making sure the animal is a mule or whitetail deer, for instance, before shooting. See Poachers A8

Premier Gordon Campbell was a lightning rod for HST hatred, but whether his impending resignation will direct attention away from the reconstituted levy remains to be seen. “This could give momentum to what’s essentially become a tax rebellion,” said Ross Hickey, assistant professor of economics of UBC Okanagan. “Because the outgoing premier initiated the tax reform, and there has been increasing political opposition to the reform and we have the planned recall going on, it could give the opposition the idea that they’re winning the battle.” If that fans dissent heading into next September’s referendum on whether or not to deep six the tax, Hickey said it could leave B.C. with the worst results. He believes the HST is the best tax reform since the 1960s when the Canada Revenue Agency became the sole handler of collecting income tax, later remitting the provinces’ portions back to them. “Now we don’t file taxes twice,” he ex-

plained. “That kind of process is efficient and the HST process is similar.” Another result of Campbell’s resignation, said Kenneth Carlaw, associate professor of economics at UBCO and HST supporter, is discussions will come to light about the actual nuts and bolts of the tax. “I think he’s tied to the implementation of the HST and it staying around,” said Carlaw. “He indicated in his press release and speech that the issue was getting tied up with his personality and stepping down will allow for the longevity of these policies, and the HST in particular.” That said, any political change can lead to a period of economic uncertainty, and there’s been a lot of tumult in recent days. Mitigating the uncertainty is something the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce will be working toward, said the organization’s CEO Weldon LeBlanc. “Anytime there’s a change that creates a level of uncertainty, that concerns us from a business perspective and an economic perspective,” said See HST A4

University offers warp-speed impact to economy Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Know anything about the spaceship on the hill? “It will be rocking your world for the next 10, 20 and 50 years as it builds up,” the Dean of the Sauder School of Business at the UBC, Daniel Muzyka, told a roomful of Kelowna Chamber of Commerce members at a Wednesday luncheon. And for the record, Muzyka wasn’t having an awkward public, otherworldly experience. That spaceship on the hill is what he’s calling UBC Okanagan these days. Thing is, he explained, few people have an understanding of the university’s reach, both

economically and socially. In the grand scheme of things it’s pretty foreign, but when its roots go deeper, the valley will be forever changed for the better. “It’s already having an impact in the houses that the faculty have bought—in all of the cars, people skiing, research supplies purchased, and the buildup in construction,” he said. As is, local university-related spending is about $100 million a year, and the spin-off could be tallied as high as $1 billion a year. UBC as a whole is one of the biggest economic engines province-wide, Muzyka explained, pointing to a recent economic impact study. “How many other businesses in B.C. have had $10 billion in impact? he said. “I might be

able to name one or two, but it’s hard. That’s a big impact.” But, all that is just the tip of the iceberg. “As it builds its research reputation, as it generates dollars and graduates—some that will even stay in the valley—it will have a huge impact,” he said. “Universities generate research that goes outbound and becomes a company or a patent.” And there’s no end to the possibilities stemming from the pending medical hospital. “In the end, we are part of the economic solution,” he said. “If you care about the social issues, the economy pays for them.” Before getting anthemic about the university, however, Muzyka said there are things in Can-

ada that could temper the university’s impression on the province. “The reason we did really well during the big hit is that we are so conservative,” he said. “Our banks did really well because they’re conservative, and that helps in a downturn, but limits us in an upturn.” And that conservatism has slowed growth in boom periods, and the result was that the ideas that could be world-changing don’t stay in Canada to generate economic growth. They go south of the border or off to Asia. “We don’t fully capture the business value or the employment. We need to be much better at venture capital,” he said. “The commercialization gap is a big issue.” kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Fruit tossing bus rider arrested for pulling a knife A 66-year-old man is facing charges after throwing an apple at a woman who was riding the same transit bus, and then brandishing a knife. “It is not yet clear why the man threw the apple and pulled the knife,” said Const. Steve Holmes of the event that occurred at around 4 p.m. Wednesday. “The suspect got off the bus at the Queensway Bus Loop, and was followed by transit security as he walked to a store, in the 1500 block of Pandosy, where he left a green bag in the store.” The man was located by police near Lawrence Avenue and Pandosy Street where he refused to comply with police demands after being placed under arrest. “The man was eventually subdued and taken to the detachment,” said Holmes. “The green bag that was left at the store, was retrieved and was found to contain a large (knife), ostensibly the one that was used on the bus.” Fortunately, no one on the bus was hurt and the suspect faces charges of mischief and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. He was released on a promise to appear in court on a future date, and has numerous conditions including not going into the Red Zone, and to abstaining from

consumption of alcohol and drugs.

MAN STABBED IN RUTLAND

A man is recovering from a stab wound sustained early this morning after a scuffle with an unidentified male at Highway 33 and Gerstmar Road. The incident occurred at around 5:30 a.m. and when police arrived, the victim stated that he had been walking along Hwy 33 when an unknown male asked him for a cigarette. When the victim stated he had none, the suspect blocked the victim’s way. When the victim tried to go around the man, the suspect stabbed the male and ran away. The victim was taken to Kelowna General Hospital and was treated for the non-life threatening wound to his stomach area. No weapon has been recovered. The suspect is described as being Caucasian, over 6-feet tall with short blonde spiky hair. He was wearing baggy grey sweat pants and a black hoody. The suspect is not known to the victim. If anyone has any information about the identity or whereabouts of the suspect, please call the Kelowna RCMP Detachment at 250-762-3300, or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

▼ CAMPBELL TO STEP ASIDE

Local Liberal MLA trio caught off-guard by resignation Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Gordon Campbell’s announcement that he is stepping down as B.C. premier was met with surprise and shock by all three of his local MLAs. Kelowna-Westside MLA Ben Stewart, who is also the province’s agriculture minister, said he did not have any inkling prior to Campbell’s short public statement Wednesday that his boss had decided to step down. Campbell has led the B.C. Liberals for 17 years and has been premier for 9 1/2 years. “I was surprised, but probably more shocked,” said Stewart. Stewart’s Central Okanagan colleague, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick, said he was also surprised, but more by the timing than the content of the an-

nouncement. “Everyone in the province has been debating when the premier would make this announcement—in two days, two months or two years,” said Letnick. Both men said they supported Campbell and would have preferred to see him stay on. And they rejected the notion that there was a growing call with in caucus for Campbell to leave. The results of an ongoing leadership review were released Thursday showing Campbell had 84 per cent support among party faithful. Campbell said because the public focus appeared set on him and his plunging popularity rather than the work of his government, he felt it was time for a change in leadership. But just last month he was singing a different tune, vowing not to resign de-

spite having the support of just nine per cent of British Columbians recently polled and the continuing public outcry over the introduction of the Harmonized Sales Tax. Campbell has said repeatedly he planned to lead his party into the next provincial election in 2013. But in recent months, the anger over the HST, particularly the way it was introduced, appears to have taken its toll on both his personal popularity and that of his three-

term Liberal government. In his brief, four-minute and 12-second speech Wednesday, the 62-yearold B.C. premier, continued to support the HST, saying it is the right, if not popular, thing to do. In a news conference with reporters Thursday, he repeatedly said he made his move to take the focus off himself and try to put it back on the work the government is doing. Stewart, who has held three cabinet posts since being elected for the first time last year, said it is too early to speculate on who will replace Campbell as Liberal leader. No date has been set for his departure and the Liberal executive has been asked to hold a leadership convention as soon as possible. Campbell said he will stay on as leader and premier until a successor is chosen. Stewart, who said he is not considering a run for the leader’s job “at this time,” added he has not been approached by anyone asking for his support

in a leadership bid. Letnick, another rookie MLA, also ruled out any leadership aspirations, adding that he also was yet to be approached by others who may be looking for his support. As for Campbell’s legacy, Stewart said while some may point to the long list of infrastructure additions across B.C., including a new bridge across Okanagan Lake, nearly $1 billion worth of additions to Kelowna General Hospital, including a new medical school and a cardiac care centre, as well as the establishment of UBC Okanagan, he believes the outgoing premier will be remembered as a visionary. “He saw all the opportunities B.C. has in all the corners of this province,” said Stewart. One of those opportunities was the HST as he echoed Campbell’s support for the controversial sales tax, saying it is the “smart thing to do” for the province. But, he conceded, it could have been in-

troduced in a better way. The area’s other MLA, Kelowna-Mission’s Steve Thomson, said he believed Campbell’s legacy would be his leadership over the last 9 1/2 years and the fact he took this province from a “precarious” financial position in 2001 to being one of the economically strongest provinces in Canada in recent years. He also pointed to the infrastructure additions, crediting them on Campbell’s leadership. “I feel so proud to have served with him,” said Thomson, the former agriculture minister who was named the minister for the new natural resource operations ministry in the recent cabinet shuffle. Calling it selfless and a courageous decision that was surely difficult to make, Thomson said he hoped Campbell’s departure would refocus the public’s attention on what the government is doing to help B.C. Like Stewart and Lentnick, Thomson said he had no intention of running for the leadership and that no one has talked to him about supporting any candidates. Current Health Minister Kevin Falcon, Shuswap MLA and Aboriginal Affair Minister George Abbott, Solicitor General Rich Coleman, former Liberal MLA and cabinet minister Blair Lekstrom

and Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts have all been tabbed as possible successors to Campbell. None have said yet if they will seek the job. The local MLAs were not the only ones who paid tribute to Campbell following his announcement. Okanagan-Coquihalla Conservative MP Stockwell Day said he dealt with Campbell many times and found him to be someone who was “unfailing” in putting the interests of British Columbians first and foremost. Prime Minister Stephen Harper publicly thanked Campbell for his support of the federal government’s efforts to help right the country’s sagging economy in light of last year’s economic downturn. Harper added that his enduring personal memory of Campbell will be from this year’s Winter Olympics, seeing the B.C. premier, clad in those distinctive red mittens, cheering on Canadian athletes and waving the Canadian flag. Campbell has not said what he will do after he steps down as premier other than that he will stay on as MLA for Vancouver-Point Grey, a constituency he has represented since 1996, and to spend more time with his family. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

▼ PREMIER RESIGNS

‘People change but issues remain the same’ HST from A1 LeBlanc. “So we will work to make sure the issues we have on the table continue to be addressed. “There’s already been a recent change in the cabinet, and new faces there as well, so any time there’s a change we have to create

new relationships.” And, while the faces have changed, LeBlanc said the business community won’t be altering its point of view moving forward. “The people change, but the issues remain the same,” he said. “I don’t know who is going to step up and re-

place the premier. We’ll wait and see, but from our perspective we will continue to bring our message through to the provincial government.” That message is to move ahead with the implementation of the tax, but offer provisions to businesses in tourism, hospitality and construc-

tion to offset the shortterm damage to their revenues. “We made a presentation to the standing committee on finance that we’d like to see a reduction to the HST and the issue is still there whether or not the premier steps down,” Leblanc said. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Joanne de Vries beth May and Reginald Bibby from the University of Lethbridge, who will talk about the spiritual piece of the sustainability puzzle. De Vries attributes the popularity of the conferences to the fact they are focussed on the positive, with success stories from all parts of communities. The conference, at the Delta Grand, kicks off Monday afternoon, Nov. 15, with Championing Change: a sustainability planning forum, then an airing of DIRT! the mov-

At this time of year, from a distance, a straight line of colourful trees marks the path of Mission Creek through Kelowna. It’s a dead giveaway to the concerns that have led to formation of the Mission Creek Restoration Initiative, which involves a range of disparate groups interested in returning it to some of its former natural meandering ways. Restoring more-natural flows would improve fish habitat, water quality and riparian habitat. Coordinator of the group working on the restoration project, Drew Kaiser, made a presentation Tuesday at the monthly meeting of the Okanagan Basin Water Board and the Okanagan Water Stewardship Council. The creek group includes representatives from local government, First Nations, provincial and federal governments, the Friends of Mission Creek and the Central Okanagan Land Trust. He explained that since the river was channelized and dyked in the 1950s, Mission Creek became isolated from its flood plain and was straightened, resulting in a loss of habitat for both fish and other aquatic species and riparian-area species. Today, he said, “The stream doesn’t function naturally; it’s been constrained, which limits its capability.” Where historically, 80 per cent of the stream spawning kokanee in the Okanagan Lake system came from Mission Creek and 50 per cent of the

SEANCONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS

THE STRAIGHT path of colourful trees along this section of Mission Creek belies a

greater concern, that restoration of the creek’s natural, meadering flow path would improve the fish habitat, water quality and riparian habitat along the waterway.

trout, in recent years the stream has produced less than 20 per cent of capacity, he said. Between East Kelowna Road and Okanagan Lake, there’s been a loss of 64 per cent of the channel’s length historically. To improve habitat for fish, the plan is to re-naturalize the creek by setting back the dykes, he explained. At the same time, that would provide more riparian and wetland habi-

cultural land, he noted. Another is that much of it is privately-owned land. The working group is currently identifying priority properties along the creek and working on public outreach about the project. Funds from the city’s Habitat Compensation Bank, mitigation for such riparian projects as the new W.R. Bennett Bridge, are being used for some of the projects, as are grants from the OBWB, to do a sediment source study. Consideration is being given to the ‘buy, sever and sell’ option to obtain critical properties along the creek for the dyke setback project, he said. Money and land is needed to get to work on the pilot project; and more water in summer for fish, he added.

tat, increasing biodiversity and habitat for a wide range of wildlife species. That riparian ecosystem is home to a number of species that are on the provincial list of at-risk species, including painted turtles, spotted bats, white-throated swifts, western screech owl and the great blue heron. Flood potential would also be reduced because there would be less sediment accumulation within the stream channel. Sediment traps would be designed to control sediment, he said.

â–ź FRENCH IMMERSION

School district outlines ideas to resolve class overcrowding Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Parents concerned about overcrowding in local French immersion schools, got their first round of possible solutions to the problems this week. On Wednesday, the superintendent of schools presented his best suggestions for alleviating the crunch over the course of the next four years. His recommendations include the possibility of moving kindergarten and Grade 1 students out of Casorso Elementary and into their own school for the first two years of French immersion, leaving the dual-track English and French programs in place with the French students starting at the school in Grade 2. That suggestion was by far the most controversial point on his list and did not sit well with several trustees.

“It’s not the ideal, our splitting grades and splitting kids. It’s not what I would have wanted for my kids,� said trustee Anna Hunt-Binkley, who was one of the first to object. Several options for creating space were tossed around including a possible option to re-open Bellevue Creek Elementary—a school the superintendent described as “stripped� when it was decommissioned—or Anne McClymont Primary. Much of the decisionmaking also hinges on how the school district intends to accommodate students in the ever-growing Mission area, including the possibility of a new middle school, and the new demand for allday kindergarten space. Natural Resource Operations Minister and Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson is meeting with board trustees and the superintendent

Monday to look at those issues. In the meantime, trustee Gail Given pointed out the primary hub this suggested kindergarten and Grade 1 mix would build might also be seen as a good thing. One of her own children went to a primary hub and she feels it is a positive way for small children to begin school with only other students their age. The concept is just one of nine recommendations aimed at getting the Central Okanagan School District’s highly successful French immersion stream on track so that measures like capping enrollment do not become an issue. Some of the other recommendations include: • supporting the early French immersion program model over a suggested addition or switch to late French immersion, which starts students in the French stream at a later grade

• considering adding a single-track French immersion school, which only includes French immersion students; currently French immersion always operates out of a neighbourhood mixed school with English mainstream kids • leaving the middle and high school-level programs alone • watching the level of development in Lake Country, and number of new housing starts, with an eye to possible program expansion in the future • considering the addition of a portable classroom to Belgo Elementary or relocating the kindergarten if the school exceeds its capacity • monitoring Glenmore elementary closely with the possibility of adding portables. The decision-making process is meant to take until early January to complete. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER

The Regional District of Cenrtral Okanagan is examining a purchasing policy for green or hybrid vehicles as they cement their 2011 to 2015 financial plan. Administration and finance director Marilyn Rilkoff noted the board might wish to look at a policy for purchasing green or hybrid vehicles. She pointed out the capital cost of green or hybrid vehicles can be about $5,000 more than for regular vehicles, and would have effects on financial reserves for the future. Director Graeme James noted that hybrid vehicles make sense in some instances, but added some regular vehicles can emit less carbon. He added that at one time, the provincial government was buy-

ing hybrid cars when a regular Toyota Yaris had a smaller carbon footprint. “Some of these smaller vehicles do the job, are a lot cheaper and have a smaller carbon footprint.� Director of corporate services Harold Reay said that the regional district’s policy up to now has been to buy the most economical vehicle that serves their purpose, without any consideration towards carbon footprint. “If we’re going to be looking at changing our fleet and looking at total carbon footprint for any vehicle, its got to be able to do the job as well.� Director Sharon Shepherd pointed out the City of Kelowna has been involved in a green fleet program, and has a great deal of information on the subject that the regional district could access. She added that city staff are

looking at options for purchasing green vehicles in bulk. Shepherd suggested the regional district and the city work together on bulk purchasing, as it would reduce the cost of the vehicles. Shepherd noted the number of vehicles needed by the regional district would be minimal compared to those required by the city. Rilkoff said the regional district has no purchaser and staff have been taking on the duties themselves. She added that if the purchasing of the vehicles could be centralized, there are cost savings to be had. The board passed a motion to bring forward a policy on green vehicles for consideration, consider bulk purchasing through other municipalities, and make an allocation in the budget for green vehicles. msimmons@kelownacapnews.com

UBCO clinic’s new high-tech theatre to be premiered Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Thanks to technology the world really is getting smaller. And Kelowna medical students are about to find that out. Starting next September, students here will be able to take classes with professors in Vancouver, Prince George and Victo-

ria, without leaving their seats in the new UBC Okanagan clinical academic campus building on the grounds of Kelowna General Hospital. Officials with UBCO and Kelowna General Hospital were scheduled to show off their newest high-tech teaching system at the campus building this morning.

The building’s 180seat lecture theatre is equipped with a state-ofthe-art audio-visual system that can connect it with similar lecture theatres at the University of Victoria, the University of Northern B.C. in Prince George and UBC’s Point Grey campus in Vancouver. And according to Interior Health officials, the

students will feel as if they are in the same room as the professors who are teaching them—right down to seeing close-up expressions on the faces of professors and other students asking questions. The IHA says a professor in any of the four sites will be able to reach students at the other locations and interact with them as

if they were sitting together, including large and detailed work and teaching displays. While similar videoconferencing technology has been used for distance education in the past, the technology being used here is described by as the most up-to-date in the province. Its abilities are being credited with mak-

ing UBC’s Interior medical school operation possible. The first class of medical students will start at the 33,445-square-metre facility at KGH next September, but post-graduate students and medical residents are already using it, as have local doctors. In addition to the 180seat lecture theatre, there

are three smaller rooms in the building that are also equipped with the same system and they can be used for teaching smaller groups. A demonstration for local dignitaries was to feature a medical school class in Prince George being taught by a professor in Kelowna. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

questions. Seitz said there have been several other poaching incidents in the past few weeks, which he would appreciate hearing information about. A mule deer doe was shot and left off Little White Forest Service Road, beyond June Springs Road, on Oct. 26. He believes it would have been shot in the days just prior to it being found. He speculates someone mistook it for a whitetail doe, since they were in season in that area. On Oct. 24, a mule deer doe was found off Trapping Creek Road near Buck Lake in the Beaverdell area, and it had been recently shot when it was discovered. They were not in season. On Oct. 22, a 3x4point mule deer was discovered off the Divide Lake Trail in Okanagan Mountain Park. Although it would have been legal for a hunter to shoot it, the carcass was left, which is illegal. “I don’t know why someone didn’t remove it,” said Seitz. He said it had only been there a day or two when it was found. A number of charges will be laid against that person if he can be tracked down, he said. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

School district sidesteps buy local food issue Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

to a more locally-based economy. With 50 per cent of our perishable food coming from outside the province, the study found the province could face economic hardship as the places which traditionally supply much of the this province’s food suffer at the hands of climate change. Pointing to California, researcher and study co-author Marc Lee noted drought has severely affected the states production capabilities and California produces some 60 per cent of the food B.C. imports. The researchers’ work suggests major public institutions, and in particular B.C.’s public school system, has enormous power to radically alter the food system in a way that would promote a carbon-friendly economy by buying food locally, pushing a local-growers agenda in the school curriculum and, perhaps, even using school land for teaching gardens. No one from the Central Okanagan School District was available

for comment earlier this week, however, Lisa McCullough, the district’s health promoting schools committee chairwoman, has since confirmed this school district does not have any policies to buy local. Asked if the issue had ever been raised with the committee, which includes representation from outside the school district like mental health and nutrition professionals from the Interior Health Authority, McCullough said no. “Not that I am aware of as chairperson of the committee and my assistant is not familiar with that particular agenda item either,” she said.

Buying local may not be mainstream yet, in the face of big box stores success, chain restaurant takeovers and the power of giant food supply conglomerates, but a new non-profit wants to make supporting your local food network a palatable, simple option. On Monday, FarmFolkCityFolk launched an Okanagan version of its website www.FarmFolkCityFolk.ca, which effectively networks the local food system, connecting farmers and growers directly to the consumer. The project is run on a not-for-profit-basis with an eye to developing a “local, sustainable food system” in line with the demands of a growing number of post-secondary institutions, government policy makers and think tanks have made to remove the carbon dependence from the food system and ensure North America is prepared to deal with the changes climate change is bringing to food production. “Our projects provide access to and protection of foodlands; support local growers and producers and engage communities in the celebration of local food,” the website states. “It’s essentially a Craigslist for the food system,” explained Erin Nichols, project manager. Like a classified advert or a Craigslist post, the website offers a link to what’s going on on the ground. People will be able to “rescue food” by giving everyone from growers to restaurants a place to post when they’re going

to have extra food, which another local non-profit might need to help feed the hungry. It will provide farmers with an avenue to sell their locally-grown goods, a network for agricultural producers to share much-needed supplies and even a place for people who want to grow food to post ads wanting green space to garden. “So, for example, I would love it if a hotel is able to plan ahead, like with a conference, and can post ahead of time that they will have extra food,” said Nichols. The Okanagan’s first ad was for honey, though on the coast the ads have already become plentiful enough to stretch into the more obscure overtones of the business. One person, for example, has posted an advertisement offering time on a honey separator she owns. The launch comes on the heals of a new Centre for Policy Alternatives study, Every Bite Counts, which urges all levels of government to start addressing the need to convert B.C.’s food system

MP’S REPORT

“

Mr. Speaker, I would like to begin by thanking all members of this House for allowing me the opportunity tonight to discuss issues concern-

ing the care and support we are giving to our nation’s greatest heroes, the men and women who have answered the call to serve our country in times of war and in times of

peace.� This was the opening statement by the Honourable Jean Pierre Blackburn, Minister of Veterans Affairs, at the commencement of a take note debate

on veterans in the House of Commons this week. Our government believes that the Department of Veterans Affairs, which has come under fire lately, has a duty to ensure the

members of our Canadian Forces, our veterans and their families have the support they need when they need it, and get the care they need at the proper time.

That is the reason Parliament unanimously adopted the New Veterans Charter in 2005, a Charter that modernized the benefit structure for veterans recognizing that today’s veterans have different needs than those who served in past wars under very different circumstances.

Ron Cannan Adapting to the New Charter has had its challenges and the department has come under fire. Nevertheless, assessments, good or bad, motivate our government to make improvements. Credit needs to go to all the people locally who advocate tirelessly on behalf of veterans, people like the late Art Brown who will be honoured next week at UBCO, Dale Dirks, our Royal Canadian Legions, our army and navy veterans and former constituent therapist Helen Gough who is committed to improving the recovery of our injured veterans. Like them we want to ensure that the Department of Veterans Affairs I is working for veterans and our commitment is to get it right. We have made significant investments in the programs, benefits and services veterans depend on. In the last five budgets, the federal government has allocated over $2.5 billion in additional funds for our veterans and their families. Some of these investments have targeted issues that go back decades such as the establishment of the Veterans Bill of Rights, the appointment of the first-ever ombudsman for Canadian veterans, extension of the veterans independence program to thousands of low-income survivors and restoring benefits to pre-1995 cutback levels for allied veterans and the inclusion of Korean war veterans and their families. Other investments address more recent issues such as recognizing and supporting those with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and doubling the number of Veterans AfSee Cannan A11

“The business traveller is able to catch connecting flights more easily. As well, those flying from Las Vegas can be on the Okanagan ski hills

was usually only available between January and April, with flights leaving Kelowna at 10 p.m. and returning at 4 a.m. Now, WestJet offers

its Las Vegas service for six months from now until April 30, flying on Tuesdays and Saturdays at 2:15 p.m. and returning to YLW at 1:25 p.m.

fairs Canada operational stress injury clinics so that veterans scarred psychologically as a result of their service can get the assistance they need. These achievements are significant and embody the greatest enhancements to veterans’ benefits and programs in 60 years. More can and is being done. Over the past two months, our government has announced more investments, totalling $2 billion, to enhance the Veterans Charter, to help lessen the suffering faced by our men and women living with catastrophic injuries and to ensure that injured and unwell veterans have an adequate monthly income, especially those returning seriously injured from Afghanistan. We do it all out of a deep sense of responsibility and gratitude to the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our country. There is no greater service one can perform in Canada than to defend this country’s most important values of democracy, freedom, human rights and the rule of law. As we approach Remembrance Day, it is our duty to remember what they have sacrificed. It is also our duty to ensure that, once home, they sacrifice no more. I encourage you to join with our community and honour our veterans at one of our cenotaphs in Lake Country, Lions Park in Rutland or join me at Kelowna City Park and thank a veteran by keeping the memory of their service to their country alive.

RAINWATER FROM Okanagan storms should be

considered a resource to be harvested rather than waste that we must get rid of. carry us through the hot and dry summers, yet instead of harvesting rainwater, we find ways to dump it into the lake, often untreated by even the most primitive filtration. Last week’s two-day workshop in Kelowna on management of stormwater changed my thinking about rain completely and made me realize in how many ways we’re thinking illogically and using inefficient methods

from rainstorms and even snowmelt. Instead of considering it a waste product that we must get rid of, get out of sight as soon as possible, we should be seeing rainwater and runoff as the life-giving water it is—as a resource to be captured and re-used. On the one hand, because the Okanagan is such a dry climate, we’re constantly concerned about whether we’ll have enough stored water to

of handling rain. Much of it was summed up by the terrific keynote speaker, Brock Dolman, who advised that we think more in terms of convex landscape shapes than concave, because we should be capturing runoff with plants in rain gardens, lower than the asphalt and concrete that won’t absorb water, instead of constructing our landscaping above roadways and parking lots. There was a lot of talk about responsibility too. Property-owners need to change their thinking around, from looking at local government as service-providers—there to ensure that all the runoff from our properties is removed from sight, for instance—to realizing they are simply an entity in which we are a part. Each of us has to be part of the solution too. Everyone must take responsibility for managing runoff from their property on that property, so that it doesn’t run off onto common community property. It’s called citizenship. That means we can’t pave or build on every square inch of our property, whether it’s a car dealership, an apartment building or a single family home. We need to maintain portions that are lower than the rest, where water can drain into the soil and be naturally filtered before it reaches the nearest water body. Such planted areas are now called rain gardens, where indigenous plants take up the excess water, their roots holding the soil in place and preventing erosion, and where natural filtration can cleanse the runoff before it reaches streams and lakes. And/or we need to collect that runoff to store in barrels or cisterns so we can release it gradually after the storm has passed, when our landscapes need it again, conserving water for drinking. Water’s pretty important. We’re made up predominantly of water, as are the creatures we cohabit with on this earth, and we all need it to continue living. Water quality and quantity are vital for our future. A sea-change in attitude is needed to conserve it. Judie Steeves writes about outdoors issues for the Capital News. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

SPCA happy to see animal care a priority in the Okanagan As the B.C. SPCA and Aquarius Mortgages reach the final week before their third annual Angels for Animals Gala, they are thrilled to see the support of the Okanagan community. “The Okanagan has shown overwhelming support of the event,” stated Romany Runnalls, owner of Aquarius Mortgages. “Their response to the event demonstrates that the people appreciate and support our local SPCA branch and the services they provide to protect animals in the area.” Marni Adams, development officer for the B.C. SPCA’s Interior region, said: “The event has grown from 120 guests to 175 and is almost sold out. We have also received many donations from those who cannot join us this year but would like to support the SPCA Kelowna.” The SPCA Kelowna branch manages a region extending from Joe Rich to Oyama to Peachland. The annual operating costs of our local branch are upwards of $800,000 with less than one per cent of the funding being received from government. “We depend almost entirely on community support to continue the work we do as an an-

SPCA offers many programs including cruelty investigations, emergency rescue and medical services, humane education, kid’s camps, advocacy and much more. We are more than an adoption centre.” One recent example of an animal that received the care of the local SPCA this year is an adult female chow. The shelter named her Jia as she had no ID tags or license. Jia was found near the Coquihalla Highway in the heat of the summer with a full chow coat of fur. “Jia was brought into the branch by some men that were fishing and saw her wandering alone,” said Fedorak. “Jia was starving, dehydrated, full of spear grass and we thought she

might be pregnant when she was brought in to the branch. We spent many

weeks nursing Jia back to health and slowly she started to gain weight and energy. “We had to spend time trying to get the spear grass out of her fur and paws but eventually had to shave her. She is a beautiful girl and has found her forever home with a couple who adopted her from Edmonton. We are thrilled.” The third annual SPCA Angels for Animals Gala presented by Aquarius Mortgages will be held

on Nov. 13 at the Manteo Resort Waterfront Hotel and Villas. The evening will include a red carpet reception featuring See Ya Later Ranch Brut. Guests will enjoy a gourmet fourcourse meal prepared by chef Bernard Casavant, which will be paired with local Okanagan wines. There will be silent

â–ź REGIONAL DISTRICT

REMINDER

Opportunity to secure gas tax funding

Pick Up Your Orders Saturday, November 6th 2-4 pm

Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER

The regional district has a crack at gas tax funding for projects that would reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide cleaner air and water, if they can come up with good ideas. City of Kelowna transportation manager Ron Westlake outlined the funding opportunities available to the regional district through the results of the federal gas tax, at a district committee

meeting on Nov. 4. The goals for the funding are to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, provide cleaner air and provide cleaner water. Westlake said eligible projects for funding include public transit, local roads, bridges and tunnels, active transportation infrastructure such as bike lanes, community energy projects, infrastructure for water, wastewater or solid waste management, and building future capacities. He said $107.3 million in

gas tax money is available for all areas in B.C. outside the Greater Vancouver Regional District in a general strategic priorities fund. An additional $50.1 million is available to all eligible recipients across the province for innovative projects that meet the goals. The funds must be applied for by April 29, 2011. Westlake noted $8.7 million in new funds is also available solely to the Central Okanagan. He noted projects need to be large in scale and regional in im-

pact. The deadline for application is Sept. 30 of 2012. Westlake asked for the board’s endorsement to take up an invitation from the Union of B.C. Municipalities to take part in a working group that will come up with ideas on projects that would use the funding. The regional district board voted unanimously to participate in the group. msimmons@kelownacapnews.com

ixing the economy isn’t easy. Trying to find solutions at a global level is even harder. So when a group of high level thinkers, government bureaucrats, non-govermental leaders and others got together this fall to look at postsecondary education from a global perspective they came up with some interesting challenges. In a nutshell, all countries agreed that post-secondary education is important to the economy and is an investment with a high rate of return. For example, data from the Association of Universities and Colleges in Canada concluded that a university graduate earns on average 70 per cent more than someone with just a high school diploma. Today, 24 per cent of Canadians are university graduates and as a group they contribute over 40 per cent to the Canadian tax base. This 40 per cent is the return on investment governments are looking for. So if you flip this around, you can see why a country without a strong post-secondary system and with few graduates, would find it very difficult to build a strong tax base, and without this tax base eco-

nomic development would slow, if not stop. So where are the challenges? In the type of job market we have today, many students Jane opt out of workMuskens ing and remain in school longer than the norm. They may also drag out their education combining part-time study with employment. If new graduates are not entering the workforce, this could lead to a retraction in the economy where those leaving the job market can’t be replaced. This is especially important for countries with large baby boomer populations. For governments the issue comes down to finding ways to push students into educational programs which lead into targeted labour markets such as health care. Another challenge, relevant to all countries, is trying to get as many citizens as possible to complete some kind of post-secondary credential. In other words, to consider advanced training or education beyond high school in a field that has the potential to provide life-long work and job security. This is really important for economic growth as new and emerging job markets tend to be tied to technological

SCHOOL’S IN

change requiring trained and educated workers. And finally, even if countries can get their citizens to go to college or university how are they going to pay for it. Increased demand for a post-secondary credential is expected in North America, Europe, Brazil, China, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Mexico and Nigeria. If nothing changes or if governments reduce spending in post-secondary education, it’s just a matter of time until qualified students will be turned away because colleges and universities are full. If this happens, student mobility will increase as students from developing nations look toward Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia as both an education and immigration destination. Increased global demand for a high quality post-secondary credential could lead to higher tuition fees and entrance requirements world-wide. On a global level post-secondary education is important if we want to achieve world-wide economic and social stability. How we develop a post-secondary system within a global context and how countries work together to educate the entire human race regardless of citizenship is the future.

Rockets look to bury rocky start Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

If only every month began like November for the Kelowna Rockets. Back-to-back wins this week—led by an awakened power play— have the Western Hockey League club threatening to turn the corner on a woeful start to the season. The Rockets look to continue their newfound prosperity this weekend with two more games against division rivals—Friday in Vancouver against the Giants, and Saturday at home to Chilliwack. After an unexpected 0-4 beginning, the Rockets have clawed their way back to a 6-10 record. Not ideal in Ryan Huska’s mind, but it’s a start. “We’re trying to turn the page on a tough start to the season,” said Huska, the Rockets head coach. “The guys did

a good job of fighting through things when they weren’t going well, and we’ve seen some results the last couple of games. The challenge now is not to look at the past, but to go forward and get better everyday. If we do that, we’ll see the results.” Both Rockets wins this week can be credited, in large part, to the club’s previously dormant power play. Kelowna scored twice with the man advantage in a 6-2 win Tuesday at home at Prince George, then three more times on the PP in Wednesday’s 5-2 triumph in Kamloops. Huska said the Rockets’ quarterback on the power play is largely responsible for the turnaround. “A lot of it has to do with Tyson’s (Barrie) work up top,” said Huska. “The decisions he’s making are better than they were earlier in the year and

our power play is benefitting from it. He’s healthier, too, than he was early in the season, he was a little rusty and I think you’re seeing him be more like himself again.” Barrie’s output of five points (1-4) over the last two games has only been bettered by Mitchell Callahan. The feisty 19-yearold forward registered three goal and five assists and now leads the Rockets with 18 points overall. “With the exception of our first four games, Mitchell’s been our best player night in, night out,” Huska said. In addition to a rejuvenated offense, the Rockets have been getting some timely goaltending from Adam Brown. The Yorba Linda, Calif., product has kicked aside 65 shots in the last two outings. “He’s been very good for us, especially early in games,” Huska said of

Brown, who has boosted his save percentage to an even .900. “When we struggled, he came through for us, held us in and gave us a chance to win games.” As for this weekend’s task, Huska said there will be no gimmes against either division foe. “With Vancouver, the biggest challenge is handling (Craig) Cunningham and (Brendan) Gallagher. Those guys are skilled, they work hard and they bring other guys on the team along with them. “Chilliwack works very hard as well. They’re both tough teams to play against.” The Rockets expect veteran D Brendon Wall to return this weekend after sitting out the last eight games with a concussion. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

Homecoming for new Capilano coach Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

As a five-year B.C. collegiate volleyball player Kelowna native Scott Weninger has played plenty of volleyball in front of his friends and family. But when the Capilano University Blues roll into town tonight for a B.C. College’s Athletic Association men’s volleyball game, Weninger’s family won’t find him on the court. The 25-year-old will be running things from the bench as the first year head coach for Capilano’s men’s volleyball program,

Scott Weninger coaching against his hometown team as well as a former coach in UBCO’s Greg Poitras. “I’m excited for it,” said Weninger of the match between his Capilano Blues and the UBCO Heat (7:45 p.m., UBCO).

eat food. not transgenes.

“I’ve played in front of all my friends and family so it will be good to see them and be able to coach in front of them. It will be a little weird. I’ve played in that gym, I’ve been coached by their coach, I’ve played against and with some of their guys. But at the same time I’m more worried about what’s happening with our team and making sure we’re prepared.” Weninger’s Blues split its opening weekend matches, the same result as UBCO, so both teams will be searching for consistency this weekend in the two matches at UBCO.

For Weninger, stepping into the coaching ranks is something that he has been thinking about since starting his college career. He played for two national champions at Red Deer College, then a year at UBCO before finishing his BCCAA career at Vancouver Island. Last year he played professionally in Belgium and may have still been pounding spikes overseas had he not suffered a broken ankle and had the Capilano job not surfaced. “I could have kept playing but when I went down with a broken ankle I was trying to figure out what to do,” he said.

“I thought if there was a chance to coach I would take it. My career goal is to be coaching at a high level so this is a good stepping stone for me.” So volleyball brought Weninger back to B.C. and into a coaching job at the collegiate level. At just 25, he’s young enough that one of his players is a few months older than him. But that doesn’t matter to the KSS graduate as he knows exactly what his players are dealing with. “I can relate to them, I can relate to the problems maybe they are having in school or in life in general because I was just there,”

NOGMO to

he said. Being just there as a player has its challenges for a young coach. No longer can you step on the court and make a difference. The way you have an effect on a game is different, more subtle. “It’s really different changing from playing to coaching,” Weninger admitted. “You’re not able to help on the court but there are things I can do on the sidelines and in preparing for games. I want to be a coach who will make long-lasting relationships with his players and not just help them in volleyball but in life as well.” kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Bos to run for Canada in Gibraltar Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna’s Melanie Bos finished last year’s Haney to Harrison 100 K run with a sense of accomplishment and a multitude of aching muscles. Little did she know at the time, it would also be her ticket to competing for Canada on the international stage. Thanks to posting one of the six fastest times in the country at the 100 K distance in 2009, Bos will wear the Maple Leaf this weekend in the tiny British territory of Gibraltar. Bos, 37, is part of an

11-member Canadian squad that will be in Europe Sunday to compete in the World 100 K Championships. “When I ran the Haney to Harrison, it didn’t occur to me that it would be good enough to meet any world standard,” said Bos, who completed Haney to Harrison in wwet and windy conditions in 9 1/2 hours. “I really hurt…but it turned out to be a pretty good accomplishment. “(The Canadian team ) e-mailed me with an invitation and said I’d been selected to compete for Canada. It’s very exciting for me and my family.”

Five women and six men will compete for Canada in 100 K race which consists for 20 laps on a five-kilometre course. The top three times in each division will count towards each country’s final results. “My goal is to be one of those three times that counts for Canada,” said Bos. “I hope to be under nine hours.” A sprinter in high school at George Elliot Secondary, most of Bos’s running as an adult has come on trails. Twice she has finished second at the Kneeknacker 50 K on the North

Shore. This year she won the women’s division at the Frosty Mountain 50 K Trail Race at Manning Park. Bos has gradually added more road runs to her training regime and, two weeks ago, posted a 3:07 time at the San Francisco Marathon. “I’ve trained a lot more on the road this year, I’ve trained smarter so I feel like I’ll be better prepared for this than I was for Haney,” Bos said. With three kids and a job, proper time management has been paramount for Bos in preparing for worlds. But as her family

Another chance to Warriors win enjoy swimming streak on the line A former Olympian is introducing a new noncompetitive swim club to Kelowna in the new year. Steven VanderMeulen, who has coached locally with the Kelowna AquaJets and Liquid Lightning, will launch the Big Fish Swimming rprogram in January, with classed to be conducted fout of the Parkinson Rec Centre. The new club is aimed at kids 8 to 14 years of age who want to swim, learn and train in a casual, noncompetitive environment. “It’s more about just offering good swimming instruction, whether kids want to train for triathlons or just swim recreationally for fun,� said VanderMeulen. “If they also want to swim competitively with the swim clubs or summer

club, that’s up to them. This just another opportunity for them to learn and enjoy swimming.� VanderMeulen is a former member of the University of Calgary swim team and competed in the 4 by 100 freestyle relay at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul. He coached with the Calgary Patriots Swim Club and at Mount Royal College before relocating to the Okanagan in 2005. “Coaching is something I love to do and I feel like I have some experience to offer,� he said. “I want to keep my hand in coaching and help kids learn at the same time.� For more information or to register with Big Fish Swimming, visit bigfishswimming.com, or send an email to coachsteven@telus.net.

The Westside Warriors will put a modest two game winning streak on the line this weekend with a pair of games, one at home and one on the road. The Warriors will host the Coquitlam Express tonight (7 p.m. Royal LePage Place) before traveling to Merritt to play the Centennials on Saturday. “Coquitlam has a good team so we’re going to need a solid effort,� said Warriors coach Darren Yopyk. “Merritt is tough in their building so it’s a matter of us being pre-

pared.� Westside is coming off two wins last weekend as it swept Surrey in a home and home series to improve its season record to 9-8-1-1. It’s the second meeting of the season between Westside and Coquitlam. The Warriors defeated the Express 4-3 in Coquitlam on Oct. 15.

Crime and punishment ignite first novel idea NEW AUTHOR Barry Linder is hoping his new book, The Room, will open doors to a new career in writing fiction. SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS

His articles included a tale on an Irish businessman who managed to salvage a fortune’s worth of the transatlantic telegraph cable, recycling it and even selling little bits off as souvenirs. The cable came out close to the first place Linder and his wife set up house in Europe

STAFF REPORTER

Barry Linder says he remembers very well the day he came up with the idea for his first novel. He was walking by a crumbling old manor house contemplating the state of the world, and in particular the recent disappearance of two young girls in England—neighbours who had apparently been kidnapped. “I thought, wouldn’t it be something to get this guy and build a room inside this manor house and stuff him in a cell,” said Linder, who is himself the father of two girls, aged 18 and 28 . The idea struck him as such an ingenious move, he promptly took himself home, told his wife not to bother him, and set about writing his first fictional story.

“Arianna, my little one, had a scribbler she hadn’t used, so I got that and a pen and I just started writing,” he said. Five and a half years later, the book was complete. The Room, as he titled it, is about a protagonist who enlists two

other men to help him build a form of citizen jail cell in an old castle to trap the worst of the worst criminals. It’s a bit far removed from Linder’s first writing ventures. As an insurance salesman in Ireland, and later sales pitching time

Volunteers heralded worldwide Dawn Wilkinson CONTRIBUTOR

Remembrance Day is swiftly approaching. Did you know that in 1943 a volunteer recruitment effort to enlist women for wartime voluntary service laid the foundation for our National Volunteer Week? The importance of engaging volunteers and supporting volunteer organizations now receives formal recognition worldwide. Friday, Nov. 5, is International Volunteer Managers’ Day. This day recognizes those who support others as they donate their time, talent and often their treasure as well. Volunteers are not a free source of labour that magically shows up whenever needed. There

is typically a person or several people behind the scenes who value the contributions of others. People who thrive on promoting volunteerism. Volunteer managers might be paid staff but are just as likely to be volunteers themselves. They face similar responsibilities as their counterparts in business human resource departments. They face the additional challenge of engaging the core of what motivates individuals who give of themselves without financial remuneration. Figur-

ing out what makes a person tick and focusing that energy into cohesive, productive work is quite a task. As a nation, we must be good at it. According to the 2010 World Giving Index, Canada is tied with Ireland for second place with 68 per cent of us helping a stranger, 35 per cent formally giving our time and 64 per cent donating money. Australia and New Zealand are tied for first place. We will take time to celebrate all volunteers April 10 to 16 for Can-

ada’s National Volunteer Week. The theme has just been announced by Volunteer Canada as Volunteers: Passion. Action. Impact. It is a weeklong celebration whereby registered charities, notfor-profits organizations and volunteer centres pause to thank and recognize their volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering to manage other volunteers or in another capacity, customize your volunteer profile and look for openings at www.kcr.ca under Volunteer Opportunities Search.

I give this warning because I feel that, even without seeing the movie, I think the rating might be a little light and I do not like seeing my customers (or their parents) “blind-sided.” To give even more perspective (as well as give you reasons to see it), Due Date re-teams The Hangover director Todd Phillips and star Zach Galifianakis in a road trip comedy also starring Robert Downey Jr. The latter plays an expectant first-time father whose wife’s due date is a mere five days away.

Make a weekend getaway to Summerland

A

lthough Kelowna has many wonderful eateries and events to attend, sometimes a girl needs a mini break away from town with her pals. No need to book flights and plan far in advance, the perfect holiday escape is only 30 minutes away. Summerland is one of my favourite little towns. Now loaded with awardwinning wineries and a fabulous selection of restaurants, it provides a playground for the most sophisticated foodie and winie. We chose to dine at Victoria Rd Deli & Bistro, located in the core of the charming village. Owner/ chef Roger Gillespie’s cozy room, great wine list (he is also a sommelier) and attractive menu will delight every palate. A musician himself, Roger is a huge promoter of the local music scene and frequently hosts live music nights. We had the pleasure of being serenaded by local legend Ari Neufeld. A Penticton native, his effortless, ethereal voice is absolutely mesmerizing. With just a guitar in hand and some super cool bells tied around his knee this guy has star written all over

FOOD AND WINE TRAILS

Jennifer Schell him, so make sure to see him now so you can say: “I saw him when…” Now back to the food. Roger has created a Mediterranean vibe to his menu offering an array of delicious seasonal and locally focused dishes. We couldn’t decide what to have, it all looked so good, so he prepared a platter with a bit of everything for the five of us. A true foodie, he has his own garden (we sampled his tomatoes) and even smokes his own delicious duck ham that is also available under his deli counter next door. If you go for lunch, his Signature Panini is a must. www.victoriard.com Not having to worry about driving home after indulging in some wine, we booked our sleepover at the Summerland Lakeside Resort. We all slept well in the super cozy beds with down duvets and loved waking up to see the lake view through

Time to move on for Campbell

T

here are many similar analogies between sports and politics, one of them being that too often athletes and politicians don’t know when to quit. Premier Gordon Campbell was falling into that category, as he appeared to be stubbornly fighting against the idea that it was his time to go. Like beaten up Minnesota Viking QB Brett Favre, who at the age of 41 made the mistake of trying to pry one more season

out of the NFL, Campbell threw a Hail Mary pass last week with his television address, and it fell incomplete. At the cost of a few hundred thousand dollars to taxpayers, Campbell made a desperate attempt on television to revive his personal popularity, and it didn’t work. Voters didn’t buy it, still wanted him gone. In announcing his intention to step down as premier on Wednesday, Campbell had to

MAIN SWITCHBOARD

acknowledge finally that voters had grown tired of him, something no new policy he might have yet dreamed up can change. The HST was a political blunder that Campbell and the Liberals grossly underestimated how British Columbians would react to. It is ironic that while that budget decision has tainted Campbell’s record of achievement in the short-term as leader of our province, it also helped put a positive spin on former premier

Bill Vander Zalm’s historical reputation as another disgraced leader in B.C.’s recent political history. He led the fight against the HST, probably providing the final nail to Campbell’s political career coffin. But in time, historical reverence for Campbell and what he achieved as premier will take on a more positive context. But for now, it was time for him to move on and give his party a chance to revive its fortunes with a hopefully fresh leadership face

HST the straw that tipped ‘village people’ against Premier Campbell

L

ike any good villain, Gordon Campbell came out of every political scuffle stronger, even taking on a preternatural glow over the years. When social services—once synonymous with the Canadian identity—were mutilated in B.C., Gordo flashed a wide, white smile, the middle-class swooned and threw their support behind the Liberals. As this province’s poor were left in the cold, the minimum wage was frozen and education became less accessible due to rising tuition rates—he was lauded for saving the economy. After earning a Hawaiian mugshot for boozing and driving abroad, as any bad guy is wont to do—he came out more popular.

Our once precious Premier was even invited for a journey down the hydrogen highway into the Terminator’s arms, managing to return with plenty of time to bring his white-man dance moves to a global Olympic audience. It’s been a mindboggling nine years, but what’s more confounding is what stuck to, and eventually brought down, the Teflon man could be as benign as the Harmonized Sales Tax. Led by a band of castaway politicians even more unsettling than Campbell in their ideological roots, British Columbians were awakened

from their reverie like

KATHARTIC characters from Percy

Blythe Shelley’s Frankenstein. In the spirit of those disgruntled village people they lurched forward in unison to make Kathy the Premier’s least inMichaels sensible move, his last. And frankly, it’s all a bit disappointing. For those of us who have spent the better part of the last decade bemoaning the widening division between the have and have nots and various crimes against Tommy Douglas’s legacy, Campbell should not be going down as a noble and misunderstood character. Because let’s be clear, that’s

what’s happening. Hatred of the HST is rooted in misunderstanding. I don’t even think it would be unfair to characterize it as ignorance. Sure, right now some things cost more, but not the majority. Lest we forget, the Provincial Sales Tax and the Goods and Service Tax added a whopping 12 per cent to most bills. You know what else is 12 per cent? The Harmonized Sales Tax. As for the rest, numerous economists have gone on the record to point out that what will cost more in the short term, should eventually ring in at a lower amount. When the streamlining of taxation reduces input costs for businesses like, oh, I don’t know, restaurants, their diminished bot-

tom line should be reflected on consumer bills. Of course, it’s incumbent on them to pass down those savings when they become apparent. And lastly, there’s the $1.6 billion the federal government gave B.C. for implementing the tax. That money’s already circulating through our economy folks. So before you dust off your HST-bound pitchfork, righteous in the knowledge you were lied to, ask yourself what it will mean to hand that cash back to the feds? None of this is an endorsement of Campbell. I say good riddance to bad rubbish. But in this day and age, it doesn’t benefit anyone to not know what you’re directing to the trash bin, and why it deserves to be there. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Canadian politicians duck making international mining accountable To the editor: It was another humiliating day to be a Canadian. Way to go Ron Cannan, Stephen Harper and the crew for voting no, and to Michael Ignatieff who was too embarrassed even to show up to vote no to Bill C300 (An Act Respecting Corporate Accountability for the Activities of Mining, Oil or Gas in Developing Countries) which would make Canadian mining and energy companies globally accountable for their practices. Imagine a foreign mining company setting up shop in the hillsides above Lake Okanagan, to dump a million plus gallons a day of toxic sulfur solution into the lake, setting up coke and coal-fired generating plants to power the

mineral processing. Then, when a native village rises up to protest the plan, to evict them from their traditional territory for being in the mine’s way; to bring in the company security goon squad to murder a number of the locals to show who’s boss and get away with the crime. This is what (a) prestigious Vancouver (resource company) and Toronto (company), along with their local (equivalent) did off the shores of Lake Izabal, the farming, fishing and tourist prize and largest lake watershed of Maya America (Guatemala). And no accountability? So what does Ron Cannan propose? To set up a counsellor for corporate social responsibility with no legally binding powers,

and appoint an official with no experience nor legal skills in the field of international and indigenous law. Way to go Ron Cannan! And for the people of your riding, next time you decide to travel abroad to some exotic places for some fun, sun and relaxation, make sure to hide your Canadian flag when you’re out and about. Whew! I can barely hold my breath waiting for the reaction of my friends of Central America, southern Mexico, the Philippines and Haiti, when they get the news. Ira Zbarsky, Kelowna P.S: I was an international field worker for over 20 years.

PM’s new chief of staff said to be well connected To the editor: Stephen Harper must have had a hard time finding a competent person who was willing to work for him as his chief of staff. There is no other explana-

tion for the hiring of Nigel Wright, who has so many business interests and potential conflicts of interest that he will (supposedly) have to be screened from seeing or participating in

many of the most important files discussed in the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO). Unbelievable! In Conservative inner circles, the initials PMO

must have a new meaning: Private Management and Outsourcing. Apparently our current prime minister’s vision of our country is limited to Canada Inc.

Perhaps Mr. Harper would feel more at home if he moved from 24 Sussex Drive to an office on Bay Street. Lloyd Atkins, Vernon

Jet fighters a great way to waste taxpayer money To the editor: The proposed purchase of $16-billion F-35 stealth fighter jets is a frivolous and unnecessary expense at a time when our country can ill afford such extravagance.

capital news A25

It is really hard to see where this type of equipment would be of any use to our military. Is $16 billion even the final bill? Think of the new helicopters that will now cost 70 per cent more

than the initial price tag we were given. I would suggest that this purchase is more about government largess and putting on a flashy show rather than national defense.

I know many people voted for the current federal government on the belief that they would be fiscally responsible conservatives. However, Mr. Harper’s party has shown time and time again a lack

of respect for the average Canadian taxpayer and a willingness to spend like there is no tomorrow.

Overzealous park official not to be tolerated To the editor: Recently, I was in Mission Creek Park, stopping by the bridge to watch the salmon spawning. There was a class of school kids there, learning about the salmon as well. I heard a commotion, and I looked to see a park official screaming at a man who had been walking a small dog without a leash. I heard the official say: “OK, I’m taking your dog.” The man refused, picked up the dog and attempted to walk away.

The park official yelled at him to follow him, but the man ignored him and walked away from him. Finally, the official shoved him down to the ground into the bushes, still holding the dog He screamed at him some more, then the man got up and followed him. All this happened in full view of the kids. Excuse me, but where are we getting these thugs? Yes, he was breaking the rules, but the dog

was certainly not a threat to anyone. The man was refusing to heed his orders, but he didn’t do anything to justify being physically assaulted. If this official were a police officer he would be charged with using excessive force. Why are we tolerating this behaviour from park officials?

Bed bugs due to over-cleanliness Express yourself To the editor: Since we were warned us not to put our clothes and luggage on the floor and my nephew confirmed it, we did as told. Why? For the fear of bed bugs in our hotel. Simon Fraser University has had to deal with a room full of bed bugs and I have not only seem them but have been bitten by them. They leave a, itchy red mark. Bed bugs like darkness

rather than light. They like to hide during the day and come out during the night. They like rugs rather than hard wood floors. They like mattresses and base boards. They do not like plastic mattresses. They are good blood suckers. They like to attach themselves to human flesh or crawl into the fur of cats and dogs. So hotels will soon say no cats and dogs and bring your own mattress and

bedding. We will provide a bare room and a roof. I feel the infiltration of bed bugs is a sign from God that we have overstressed cleanness. “Do not do any thing without washing your hands.” When you enter a building, at the first counter there is a bottle of liquid to wash your hands. “Do not touch anything.” “Do not” is everywhere.

Canadian Tire, Canada’s largest hockey retailer, and the National Hockey League today announced that Canadian Tire has signed a partnership agreement with the NHLÂŽ to become the League’s OfďŹ cial Sporting Goods Retailer of the NHL in Canada. The agreement includes a hat trick of exciting announcements: a ďŹ ve-year NHL partnership, the launch of the NHL-powered Canadian Tire Hockey School (CTHS) and the naming of Stanley Cup winner and Olympic Gold Medalist Jonathan Toews as CTHS founding member and ofďŹ cial spokesperson. “As Canada’s largest retailer of sporting equipment and a brand steeped in Canadian history, Canadian Tire is who Canadians trust for their ďŹ rst pair of skates, stick, helmet and pads. Over the past 90 years, we’ve equipped millions of ďŹ rst-time hockey players, like Jonathan Toews, from head to toe,â€? said Mike Arnett, President of Canadian Tire Retail. Further developing a grassroots connection in Canadian communities, Canadian Tire will launch the Canadian Tire Hockey School NHL Skills Camps. These unique camps will provide Canadian minor hockey players the opportunity to develop and grow their skills through on and off ice skill development sessions led by experienced NHL hockey experts, with appearances by NHL alumni and coaches. In addition to becoming an OfďŹ cial NHL Partner in Canada, Canadian Tire will now be designated as an OfďŹ cial Partner of the NHL Heritage Classic™, NHL All-Star Game, Stanley CupÂŽ Playoffs, Stanley Cup Final and NHL Face-Off™. “Expanding our reach into new categories like this will continue to increase the NHL’s ability to reach and unite Canadian hockey fans.â€? Selling more hockey sticks and pucks than any other retailer in the world, Canadian Tire has been the inspiration for millions of hockey ďŹ rsts for players from coast to coast. The CTHS website will offer unparalleled content for Canadian hockey players, parents, coaches and fans. From how to play on a backyard rink or advance in a local house league, to knowing how hockey gear ďŹ ts and what it costs, CTHS will offer unique subject matter expertise and practical insights into how to mentor, parent and become a well-rounded player. CTHS members also will receive exclusive NHL-related offers and promotions, including a chance to win a trip with two tickets and VIP treatment to the NHL All-Star Game, the NHL Heritage Classic™ and a Stanley Cup Final game.

BMW delivers with all-new 550i luxury sedan Neil Moore CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

I’ve always stood by the maxim ‘you get what you pay for’ and the auto industry provides few exceptions to this rule. Move up the pricing ladder, and you can simply expect ‘more’—more power, more craftsmanship, more amenities and more tech goodies. I could also say more attention to style, but am amazed at the sophisticated exteriors you can find on the lower rungs— Hyundai Sonata being a fine example. Still, few vehicles get a high score in every category. Be it a $20,000 hatchback or $100,000 luxo SUV, you’ll always

find a gripe or two, factoring in the starting price. “It could use a few more horses.” “Gee, I would have expected heated seats at this price point. I’m surprised at the lack of rear-seat legroom. Hmm…I’m not crazy about the grille.” After a week of driving the $89,581 gadgetladen 2011 BMW 550i sedan, which included a whopping 16-grand worth of options, I found myself saying no such things. Except, perhaps, ‘gimme back the keys.’ A colleague asked me if I’d buy this car if I could afford it. In a heartbeat. My first impression of the all-new, sixth-generation BMW 550i is that it

The car’s sensual aggressiveness is pronounced in the rear with its dual trapezoidal exhausts, wide stance and wheels ending flush with the flared wheel arches. It’s an ideal blend of elegance and athleticism, with an overall impression

This variant enjoys a big step up in power, thanks to a 4.4-litre, twin turbocharged V8 engine that delivers 400 hp and a whopping 450 lb/ft of torque between 1800 and 4500 rpm. It is a rear-driver, but you can also order an all-wheel-drive version in the 550i xDrive. Unlike most cars in its class, the 550i can be had with a six-speed gearbox. Drivers in this segment don’t typically favour a manual shift, but the fact it’s available makes a strong statement about BMW’s commitment to the driving enthusiast.

Select ‘sport’ or ‘sport+’ and gear changes become lightning quick, downshifts are decisive and gears are held to just before redline. Ensconced in the quietude fof the 550i’s plush cabin, acceleration feels like a private luxury jet, with rzero to 100 km/h times in around five seconds. The above settings are all part of the optional Dynamic Handling Package, which at $3,900 includes tDynamic Damper Conrtrol (shocks adapt to driver demands and road conditions), Dynamic Drive tand Adaptive Drive. Without making this too complicated, this system, in a nutshell, provides the ability to set the ride, handling and drivetrain behaviour with a single rocker switch. Set it on comfort, and you get smoother acceleration, earlier shifts, and a soft, forgiving ride. Select Sport+ and in addition to a quicker throttle response and sportier shift patterns, the shocks

I was impressed by the latter feature, which during normal, straight-ahead driving isn’t a factor. But go fast into a turn, and the active anti-roll bars push back hard against the body’s tendency to lean in the opposite direction. This system flattens out a corner so effectively, the 550i feels like it is on rails. Also keeping things in check is a braking system supported by Dynamic Stability Control, which includes the functions of ABS, Automatic Stability Control, Cornering Brake Control and

Dynamic Brake Control. You can also add to this list Brake Fade Compensation, Brake Standby (reduces lag time in braking), Brake Drying, and Automatic Hold (to prevent rollback). Also on the safety side—and part of the $3,500 Technology Package—are two features which you can view as either intrusive “nanny technologies� or as a safety net that can save lives. Or even as an enabler for those dorks who still text while they drive. These are Lane Departure Warning and Active Blind Spot Detection. The former uses a camera near the rear-

view mirror to monitor lane markings. When activated, it vibrates the steering wheel any time you wander towards the next lane without signalling. It’s a subtle reminder, and like the Mercedes system, is less annoying than those that beep. Blind Spot Detection uses radar sensors to monitor traffic in the adjacent lanes. It displays a yellow triangle in the side mirror housing whenever there’s a vehicle in the ‘danger zone.’ If you still signal to make a lane change, the triangle will flash as an added warning.

THE 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA 2.0T has a coupe-like profile, elegant chrome grille and swept-back headlights. But it’s not all about upscale looks, as its 2.0litre turbocharged four cylinder packs quite a punch with 274 hp and 269 lb/ft of torque.

With its coupe-like profile, elegant chrome grille and swept-back headlights, and lines reminiscent of the $91K-plus Mercedes-Benz CLS, this four-door sedan (now in its sixth generation) exemplified just how far Hyundai has come in terms of styling. But setting aside the new Sonata’s ‘Fluidic Sculpture’ design and its upscale trim, the inevitable question crossed my mind: what’s under the hood? So when Hyundai representatives proudly announced the only available powertrain was a 2.4-litre four-cylinder with gasoline direct-injection (GDI), I was a bit underwhelmed. Not that Hyundai’s Theta II engine was a slouch. Generating 198 hp

and 184 lb/ft of torque, it put the Sonata ahead of its major four-cylinder, midsize competitors, and offered class-leading fuel economy. But the competition also offered a V6 option with substantially more power. Fast-forward ten months and the much-anticipated Sonata Turbo has arrived. This doesn’t mean the company has regretted its decision to launch with the four, as John Vernile, vice-president of marketing for Hyundai Canada pointed out during the recent launch of the Sonata 2.0T. “The whole movement towards four cylinders in the segment had already started,� he said. “And when we saw that happening, we thought that was absolutely perfect for our new generation Sonata.� Still, the previous 3.3-litre six accounted for approximately 30 per cent of sales of the previous Sonata. “We were concerned about that because there is still a piece of that midsize segment that wanted a V6,� he said “Our four-cylinder 2.0 litre turbo is very exciting for us. “We can now appeal to those people who want a V6 for the power, but offer them four cylinder fuel economy. In fact, our fourcylinder turbo gets better horsepower than any other V6 in its class. “And at the same time gets better fuel economy than any four cylinder in its class,� Vernile said. In the Sonata, this engine produces 274 hp at 6,000 rpm and 269 lb/ft of torque across a wide 1,800-4,500 rpm, using regular fuel. It is rated at 9.3 L/100 km city and 6.0 L/100 km highway, and that’s not even in “Eco� mode (more on that later). At the heart of all this power is a twin-scroll turbocharger that works with the GDI for almost instant power delivery. Twin-scroll designs take less time to spool up than single-scroll turbocharSee Sonata B5

Sonata from B4 gers, giving you more punch, more quickly. Also important to the vehicle’s performance is the 2.0T’s power-toweight ratio, which at 5.5 kg per horsepower is also best in class. Still, the Sonata 2.0T doesn’t provide asphaltripping power off the line, as the four-banger is working pretty much on its own. But once you get up to taround 1,800 rpm when the turbo kicks in, power delivery is strong and linear. The company estimates a 0-100 km/h time of 6.8 seconds, which is excellent for a vehicle of this size. The inevitable lag, as the Sonata launches from rest, could be partially overcome with a manual transmission. Working the clutch, you’d get to the 1,800 revs more quickly, but as Vernile admitted, such a car would likely have a “very low take rate.� This was the case with the previous generation base Sonata, which came with a five-speed manual. The only transmission available on the 2011 Sonata 2.0T is a six-speed tautomatic with Shiftronic tmanual control. You can shift manually by moving the gear selector into a separate gate or via the steering wheel paddle rshifters, which are not oft

MOTORING twisty mountain roads north from La Jolla to Temecula, California. Going up and down nearly 5,000 feet in elevation, and plying some very tight turns and steep grades, the Sonata was light and agile, exhibiting little lean in the corners and minimal understeer. During these maneuvers, I enjoyed the Sonata’s feeling of control, and will give credit not only to the suspension setup, but to the car’s standard safety and handling technologies which include electronic stability control, traction control, ABS brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist. Other than the engine, the power and a few suspension tweaks, there’s little to distinguish the 2.0T from the regular GDI model—and that’s not a bad thing. The interior is very much the same, but there are a few upgrades on the exterior that include 18inch hyper silver alloy wheels and a dual exhaust system that was sadly missed when the new Sonata bowed. Although the Sonata is the first Hyundai to get both turbocharging and GDI technology, four more nameplates will also be getting GDI or both. Company officials were tight-lipped about whether one of these will be a Tucson, but my guess is that it’s on the way.

fered on the GDI. This autobox, whether or not you choose to shift manually, provides smooth efficient gear changes, and downshifts readily when needed. I’m thankful the company chose not to go with a CVT, as these transmissions don’t lend themselves well to sporty driving, and once they wind up, are anything but a delight to the ears. Typically, small turbochargers also have noise issues, but Hyundai has done plenty of work in the areas of NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) paying particular attention to balancing of components and the judicious use of sound deadening materials. The result is minimal turbo whine in the cabin, but when you step hard on the gas, you’ll still notice the typical moan of a four-cylinder engine, despite a thrust that would say otherwise. The ride of the Sonata 2.0T is reasonably tight: somewhere between family sedan and sports sedan. It’s suspension, MacStruts with gascharged, twin-tube shocks and stabilizer bar in front; multi-link with stiffer coil springs, gas-charged monotube shocks and stabilizer bar in rear, is noticeably firmer than in the non-turbo model. I appreciated this difference throughout the day we spent driving the

As for the future of Sonata, the launch event also included a first-drive of their Hybrid version that is expected to go on sale some time in January 2011, if not sooner. As driving impressions have been embargoed, you can expect to see the review on these pages sometime soon. The Sonata has been around for 22 years and according to Vernile is now in “the most exciting of the six generations. And with the GDI technology as standard, a turbocharged variant introduced, and now a hybrid, this is where Sonata is positioned to be number one or number two in the segment.� The Sonata 2.0T should be arriving at dealerships in November. Check the web site for updates on pricing and trim levels.

capital news B7

What once were luxuries now standard in Ford Fiesta Fiesta from B6 Comparisons between the two are inevitable. The Mazda2 has a 1.5-litre engine producing 100 hp and 98 lb/ft of torque routing power to the front through a fivespeed manual or fourspeed automatic transmission. Starting later with the Fiesta, Ford was able increase the engine size to 1.6-litres producing 120 hp and 112 lb/ft of torque and, crucially, the same five-speed manual but with a six-speed automatic. The optional six-speed automatic has a fuel rating of 6.9/5.1L/100 km city/highway. If you opt up for the PowerShift with SFE Package mileage improves to 6.8/4.9/100 km city/highway for the automatic. Either way the automatic is better than the 7.5/6.0L/100 km for the Mazda. With the fivespeed manual, it’s a yingyang with the Mazda returning 6.8/5.6L/100 km and the Ford, 7.1/5.3L/100 km. The Fiesta SFE (Super Fuel Economy) Package includes underbody shields, lower grille blocker, spare wheel with wheel cap and cruise control along with the automatic trans all designed to lessen drag and improve mileage. While there are only two trim levels for the Mazda2, there are five with the S, SE and SEL sedans and the SE and SES hatchbacks, the SES being tested here. Regardless of your age, if your life includes an iPhone, Blackberry, Android, you name it; the only Fiesta to consider is the SES. The topline Fiesta SES (as tested) comes with a starting price of $18,899. While it brings you heated seats, premium sound and fancy 16-inch wheels, it also includes Ford’s SYNC, that integrates mobile phones with Microsoft developed onboard voice-activation and entertainment system. It does more than listen to commands; it acts on them. For instance, if you receive a text message, you can ask SYNC to read it to you. You can tell it to call someone on the phone or you can ask the system to play a certain song(s) or ‘shuffle on’ which mixes music in certain genres or al fresco. In addition, information is always displayed on the four-inch LCD monitor in the upper cen-

tre of the dash. On top of that, the system will make an emergency 911 call through a cellphone if an airbag(s) goes off. Oh, and the sound quality of the sixspeaker premium audio system probably sets the bar for a car priced under twenty grand. I thought SYNC would have been reserved for Lincolns and other high-end Fords; but it makes sense to work it into the Fiesta lineup as mostly younger buyers will already be adept at using new age media. A nifty thing is interior lighting in the front and rear footwells and cupholders that comes in the driver’s choice of seven different colours. But the SES also comes with the optional ‘Intelligent Access’ a push-button start with remote fob. I was hoping this was going to be fad like chrome gills on the

front fenders, but push buttons show no sign of fading away. My advice, never let the remote out of your grasp or you’ll never start the car. The engine of the Fiesta is willing and revs freely while benefitting from the latest technology like variable valve timing that not only provides good fuel economy buts makes cold weather starting a whole lot easier. I put many miles on the SES wrangling other cars and meeting incoming journalists at the airport during a 12-vehicle comparison for the Canadian Automotive Jury Best of the Best awards, one of the finalists of which was the Ford Fiesta. For more information on these awards see www. thecanadianautomotivejury.ca. I had the five-speed manual with a positive, spring-loaded shifter that

When you have hoards of massive transport trucks all around you, being able to concentrate on where you’re going instead of getting hung up on a gear change is a very big thing indeed. Speaking of highway travel, both outside mirrors have a second small wide-angle mirror built in that does wonders for letting the driver see into the blind spot. Steering is quick and precise thanks to the electric power steering on the Fiesta. It comes with ‘active nibble’ con-

trol software which helps smooth out wheel vibration especially at higher speeds. The front seats are big and comfy but I would have liked the steering wheel to be a tad further away. The back seat, however, requires those in the front to be careful how far back they slide the seat. For a small car, cargo volume is pretty good with 435 litres (15.5 cu ft) behind the second seat in the hatchback and 363 litres (12.8 cu ft) for luggage in the sedan. If you look under the cargo floor cover of the hatchbacks

there is a hidden storage cubbie for hiding valuable items. Base price for the Fiesta SES as tested was $18,999, and as tested, $20,879 including a $1,350 shipping fee. Ford is on a roll with vehicles like the Edge and Mustang selling as fast as they can be built. With five different ways to order a Fiesta, not to mention the bevy of standard features and options, Ford’s littlest car is in many ways one of its best.

PHILLIP CHARLES HOOVER

July 20, 1944 - October 30, 2010 With so much sorrow we announce the passing of Phil on Saturday, October 30th, 2010 at home surrounded by his loving family. He was the beloved husband and best friend to Anne Michiko Hoover (nee Baba) for 33 years. Phil fought with an incredible quiet strength for 12 years - put so eloquently in his own words, he was “a tough old bugger.â€? Through all the surgeries, chemo and radiation, time and time again he held his head high with determination that the disease would not beat him. His legacy to his children wasn’t words or possessions, but an unspoken treasure, the treasure of his example as a man and as a father. Pre-deceased by his sister Marnie (age 3), his mother Peg and his father Len. Phil leaves behind his wife Anne, daughters Shannon (Farshad) and Michelle (RaďŹ e), grandson Austin, brother Alan (Leni) and many nieces and nephews. Among the many friends and loved ones who supported us, we especially want to thank extended family Ray (Shig) Baba and Carolyn (Dee) Baba, friends Roger and Pam Cousins, Sheila and Jack Ueda and Sherrill Fix. Through his journey there have been numerous amazing doctors and medical teams: Phil especially would want to thank Doctors Taylor, Erasmus, Leco and Pollock. A celebration of Phil’s life will take place this Saturday, November 6, 2010 at SpringďŹ eld Funeral Home, 2020 SpringďŹ eld Rd, Kelowna at 10 AM. Memorial Donations can be made to Kelowna General Hospital, Palliative Care Program, 2268 Pandosy Street, Kelowna, BC V1Y 9Z9 or the Cancer Center for the Southern Interior, 399 Royal Avenue, Kelowna, BC V1Y 5L3. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springďŹ eldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

GOLLING, CARL JOSEPH 1916 - 2010

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Carl Golling of Kelowna, BC. Carl was born in Grayson, SK on August 7, 1916. He went on a new journey on Monday, November 1, 2010 at the age of 94 years. Loved and cherished by his wife of 67 years, Moira and loved by his two daughters, Bonnie (Michael) Willmott, Wendy Golling Yates; son Carl James Golling; his three granddaughters, Jodi (Tom) Clark, Joanne (Kevin) Imthorn, Lara Yates; also his six great grandchildren, Michael and Sarah Clark, Makena Imthorn, Paige, Mya and Aria. Also survived by two sisters, Katherine and Hannah; two brothers, Henry and Leonard. Predeceased by his grandson Gary Willmott in 1966, two brothers Philip and Harry. Carl served in the Navy during WWII in the Atlantic on the “Fairmileâ€?, then in the PaciďŹ c on Canada’s only cruiser, the “Ugandaâ€?. Carl lived in Kelowna in late 1945, then Nelson from 1953 to 1974 when he retired to Kamloops. He later moved to Kelowna to be near his daughter Bonnie and son-in-law Michael Willmott in 1990. Carl has called Mountain View Village his home for three years, where he received the most wonderful care, love and understanding on his journey with Alzheimers. Thank you to the nursing care staff for the special care given to Carl and his family, we will be forever grateful. We could not have come through this journey without you. Thanks to Dr. T. Taylor for his support. Special thanks to Chaplain Terje for helping us spiritually during these past three years and at the end. A private gathering of friends and family will follow at a later date. If you wish to make a donation in Carl’s name, you can send it to the Kelowna Naval Veterans Association, #313-1075 Bernard Avenue, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 6P7.

In Flanders Fields by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago, We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

MOTORING

Hand over parallel parking

BMW from B3 cludes a rear view camera, the Surround View system and Park Assistant. With the 10.2 inch monitor that comes with the Navi package, the view from behind is remarkably clear. Still,

I typically don’t use these things to park, and find its interactive tracking lines distracting. Side view, however, I really like. With two cameras mounted in the front bumper, it provides a view of traffic coming in both

directions. It’s truly useful if, for example, you’re pulling out from between two behemoth SUVs and don’t want your front bumper taken off. Top view, which combines information from the rear and two side cam-

eras, offers a bird’s eye view of the vehicle and its surroundings. It’s great for backing into a tight spot, or parallel parking right next to the curb. And if you’re too lazy to parallel park yourself, hand it over to the Parking

Assistant. I’m not big on these features, and if you can’t parallel park, how did you pass the driver’s exam? But in any case, it does work and with very little of my involvement, cleanly guided the sizeable 550i

into a spot just two feet longer in front and back. You can get lost in all these technologies, and having described an already dizzying array of electronics, I still haven’t mentioned the installed Technology Package, which for $5,500 includes a heads-up display (which I really liked), four-zone climate control, heated rear seats, active “massaging” and ventilated front seats, electric rear sunshade, manual side sunshades and automatic trunk. And we still haven’t covered some of the options I didn’t get, such as active cruise control with Stop-and-Go, and the collision warning system. As a stand-alone option, the $3,000 rear entertainment system seems a bit pricey, but if you have kids, it can be a lifesaver on long trips. The dual 9.2-inch monitors, which make use of both front and rear DVD players, allow you to load up to eight DVDs, from which each kid can his or her own movie. Turn on their headphones and you won’t hear a peep for hours. The cabin, overall, is a treat with its standard Dakota leather, light fabric headliner, premium wood ash trim and charcoal dash with metallic accents. The electric sunroof and lighter materials create a bright and airy environment, while the soft ambient lighting contributes to a cozy, inviting lounge at night. Up front, the Active seats are adjustable in every way imaginable, and provide a massaging function in the lower back with alternating up/down movements of the seat surface. In back, the optional heated seats offer plenty of leg room, thanks in part to a wheelbase that is noticeably longer than its predecessor. There’s so much more to this vehicle than we have room to print. In the 550i, BMW has showcased an mammoth list of standard and available electronics, not to mention exemplary craftsmanship both inside and out, and performance that kept me looking for any excuse to get behind the wheel. Style: Luxury sedan Drive Method: frontengine, rear-wheel-drive Engine: 4.4-litre, twinturbocharged V8 (400 hp, 450 lb/ft of torque) Fuel: Automatic: 12.7/7.9/10.5 litres/100 km (city/hwy/comb) Price: base $73,300; as tested $89,581 Website: www.bmw. ca
