SOLE MAN…
Jim Belshaw, of Roy’s Shoes in downtown Kelowna, is again collecting shoes for the international charity Soles4Souls, with the support of the Kelowna Sunrise Rotary Club. The goal this year is to collect 100,000 pairs of shoes by April 30, to be distributed first to local agencies that help people in need, with the remainder shipped to the Soles4Souls sorting centre in Nevada to provide footwear for people living in poverty in other countries. Last year, 7,000 of the 40,000 pairs of shoes collected were distributed across the Okanagan. For local drop-off locations see www.soles4soulscanada. com or call Roy’s Shoes at 250-763-5696.

With another earthquake in Japan in the headlines Thursday, B.C.’s forest industry is offering whatever assistance it can, said the president and CEO of the Council of Forrest Industries at the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce monthly luncheon. Over the course of the last week, John Allan said representatives from Canada’s forestry industry have been meeting with the Japanese to see what is needed to help people establish some normalcy in the on-going disaster. “Our focus in Japan is to be of assistance. We don’t want to be seen to be salivating at the mouth as this is a market opportunity. It’s just not appropriate,” said Allan. “We are offering our hand out to Japan to say tell us what you need.” The country’s leaders have already set a goal of constructing 30,000 housing units before the end See Lumber A12

Police review to pursue assault complaint Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
The Kelowna Mountie increasingly notorious for acts of brutality in the line of duty won’t see a third assault charge materialize from an allegation of excessive force, but that doesn’t mean he’ll get off scot-free either.
Supt. Bill McKinnon announced Thursday that he believed Const. Geoff Mantler is “51 per cent at fault” in the incident where he allegedly punched repo-man Jeremy Packer in the head, while arresting him for a theft he was never subsequently charged with. As such, the case is
VIDEO VID ID DEO EO ON ONL ONLINE: NLLINE INE: IN www.kelownacapnews.com
among “three allegations of disgraceful conduct” that McKinnon said should be dealt with at an RCMP disciplinary hearing.
The findings of that hearing could amount to Mantler either losing his job, being demoted, or facing a 10-day suspension, without pay, for each count. It’s a departure from Crown counsel’s decision not to pursue charges in the Packer complaint, citing there was “no substan-
tial likelihood of conviction.” But McKinnon explained the two have different mandates. “You may wonder why I would find the actions of Const. Mantler to be disgraceful in the Jeremy Packer incident when Crown counsel has not approved pressing charg-
es,” McKinnon said. “The RCMP code of conduct and the Criminal Code of Canada have two very different standards when it comes to finding an outcome. “The Criminal Code is based on the premise of reasonable doubt, whereSee ComplaintA16

Cedar project detractors have their say
Food safety rally at Kerry Park
Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Just over 200 Kelowna residents converged at City Hall Tuesday night to attend a public hearing on a contentious Cedar Avenue proposal, with the vast majority aiming to put a stop to the plan. Armed with signs with pithy sayings like, “parkland not pavement,” they filled council chambers until well after midnight, taking turns making a case for city politicians to vote against rezoning seven properties on the waterfront to accommodate a commercial and residential development. The rezoning—if it’s approved at the April 18 meeting the decision was pushed back to—would clear the way for city plans to sell just under half of the land to a developer, who could build a 2.5 to four-storey mixed-use building that could have condos, a restaurant and other businesses. The funds gained from the sale would, among other things, allow the city to build a boardwalk, a small park and lakeshore riparian area, with the combined effect of creating a feature they say would draw pedestrians and cyclists to the area. “It’s the city’s desire to add value to the South
Pandosy area by providing a great waterfront connection from South Pandosy, to Okanagan Lake,” said Derek Edstrom, the city’s strategic land development manager. “Our second goal, is to create areas that have a sustainable live/work plan…that may attract people who want to live in a suburban area, to live in an urban area.” It wasn’t an argument that resonated with many. “Hats off to bikes-andpeople first, but I want to speak against commercial and residential on this piece of property,” said Arnica Rowan, an Okanagan College professor, the first of 43 speakers, who differentiated herself as someone who “does work, live and play” in the neighbourhood. “We need more parkland for more people …I’m in support of urban densification and riparian areas, but I’m not in support of commercial space,” Rowan said. “This is an opportunity that comes once every 20 years, so let’s not waste it.” Another area resident thought the proposal is too adult-oriented, and not befitting the community it would be situated amidst. “There’s no place for teenagers to play Frisbee, and children to run around with a soccer ball,” said
CONCEPTUAL plans of the Cedar Avenue development that incorporates waterfront land for commercial, residential and parkland use. Penny Pearson. An elementary school student in the crowd backed that up when he took the microphone, to much fanfare, saying the plan looked to him like a giant sidewalk, not fit for play, setting the stage for dozens more comments of a similar ilk. Over the course of the last several months, the city has received 59 letters of opposition and a petition 319-strong backing up their view. And the conversation circulating through emails and at neighbourhood group meetings seems to have reached a fever pitch that put those gathered on edge. Some attendees expressed concerns that their views weren’t being treated with the respect that the process called for, claiming that councillors
had their minds made up and were asking questions that diminished what they had to say. Others claimed to be put-off by the way the city politicians spoke to them. Although he later apologized, Coun. Graeme James referred to the letter campaign of one attendee as “misleading” and “alarming” for its loose rendition of the facts. Coun. Kevin Craig’s inquiry into the numbers of responses those representing neighbourhood groups received, was also viewed as undermining, He too apologized, explaining he was just try-
ing to take the pulse of the community. Throughout it all, however, stand-in mayor Michele Rule’s request that those at the gathering not cheer or jeer fell on deaf ears. Some went so far as to yell, “this isn’t a fascist” regime when Rule asked them to keep silent, so as to not discourage contrary comment. Area resident Crystal Flamen was one of four speakers who did voice support for the plan, admitting in her opening words to be nervous by the reception she’d receive. “I think we have to look at the bigger picture,
I go running at the park and I go to the park with my coffee and guitar,” she said. “But because there isn’t enough community participation at the park, I’m scared back to my home. I think we have great park space, but even though we’re here tonight, many people don’t use it.” With the public hearing closed, city councillors are no longer able to speak to the issue of Cedar Avenue, or take more information from either the public or city staff. Council will vote on the plan at the Monday April 18, council meeting. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
The True Food Foundation has organized a rally at Kerry Park in downtown Kelowna Sunday against the use of genetically modified organisms in food. Saturday, Percy Schmeiser, the Canadian farmer who brought a suit against Monsanto after genetically-modified seeds blew onto his fields, will speak at Okanagan College, 7 p.m., on the topic of David vs. Goliath. The group says the issue is urgent, with GMOs set to devastate the entire seed supply. “We will see the organic farm community decimated across the country,” said Arnold Taylor, spokesperson for the Canadian organic growers. At Sunday’s rally at Kerry Park, from 2 to 3 p.m., participants will have an opportunity to sign a petition against GMOs, calling for mandatory labelling of food containing GMOs.

he first time I became aware of my attachment to the land was when I first headed home for a visit after I’d left the Okanagan to go to college. There were no postsecondary options here at that time, except Grade 13, and after a year working part-time at the Penticton Herald, I thought I wanted to be a writer. As I left the coastal humidity with its lush growth of cedar, balsam and vine maple, the landscape opened up to grass and saskatoons under towering pines. Suddenly, I could smell the resin from the pines in the autumn sunshine and see their distinctive paintbrush needles outlined against the sky. It was just after Manning Park on the HopePrinceton Highway, and as I drove further, it opened up more until soon there was big sage and rabbitbrush as well.

brush and bunchgrass hills up and down the valley. Those pines are an icon of the Okanagan Valley, and typical because of the dry climate in this region, yet today they’re being felled, left, right and centre. There’s an all-out war against my symbol of home and it’s being waged predominantly by a tiny beetle that’s already laid waste to the forests of both northern and central B.C., changing the landscape completely. Luckily, here in the Okanagan, we have forests with a mix of species that includes Douglas fir, larch in some areas and even the occasional pocket of cedar where it’s a bit damp, so our forests won’t be leveled as they have been further north. But there’s going to be a dramatic change in their look with the loss of millions of 100-year-old stems of lodgepole pine, in addition to the loss of ponderosa pines in the valley bottom. So, I jealously guard my remaining pines with pouches of verbenone to ward off bark beetles and keep my fingers crossed that I might be able to protect a few from the onslaught, while hoping a few other pockets might be saved as well.

Coyote releases grip on cat when suddenly confronted EDITOR
Marni Adams was driving down Clifton Road at 7:30 a.m. last Sunday on the way to meet a group of her friends for their regular run. But her otherwise routine morning took a decided twist when she was confronted by a coyote walking across Clifton near Caldow Street with a cat in its mouth. Call it a maternal instinct. Or a passion to help an animal in need. Whatever it was, it motivated Adams to stop her car, jump out from behind the wheel and attempt to rescue the cat. Adams quickly caught up to the coyote and began screaming at the startled animal in hopes it would release its grip on the feline. “I was making wild sounds, trying to scare the coyote,” Adams recalled. “I could see by the erect cat’s claws that it was alive, trying to fight free. The coyote came to a stop, dropped the cat, proceeded to run up the hill, stopped once to look back and then left.” Adams was aware of recent complaints from local residents about coyotes snatching pets that were running loose, and she has seen coyotes often as she lives near Knox Mountain. She said the protocol
for what to do if confronted by a coyote with a pet cat in its mouth didn’t enter her mind, as her first instinct was to help the cat. Other than being angry and hissing, Adams said the cat amazingly didn’t suffer any wounds. “I wasn’t sure what to do. I called my girlfriends and I called the fire department for help,” Adams said. At that point, the cat bolted inside a drainage pipe grate to hide. Adams had noticed a resident across the street watching the incident, so she went to ask if it was their cat. Adams was told the cat belonged to the house two doors down, which turned out to be Jamie Johnson. The cat was an 11-month-old Bengal tabby named Indica, which had gone missing that morning after being let
outside to go to the bathroom. Johnson, and his girlfriend Emelia Templeton, ventured over to the drainage pipe where it took them about two hours and a lot of coaxing with the help of a can of tuna to get the scared cat to come to them. Johnson said they took it to the vet where the cat was given a clean bill of health. “It was pretty tragic for us when the cat went missing. We were appreciative of (Adams) to stop and take the time to chase after the coyote and help out our cat,” Johnson said. Adams reiterated the importance for pet owners to not leave their cats or dogs outside at night, as coyotes tend to hunt for food between dusk and dawn, and sleep during the day. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

Finally, a program intended to help French speakers, which subcontracted to the Project Literacy, was eliminated. “They all happened within a couple of months,” said Hagan. “So it was extremely difficult. When the new premier came to power, one of her first actions was to restore the gaming grants— though to what extent is unclear—and Hagan said Project Literacy immediately began spending to

But the spending spree is a tentative one, as Hagan still doesn’t know whether the full grant funding, or 50 per cent, is planned for this year. “When I talked to the representative at B.C.

Students embrace famine effort to help others Barry Gerding EDITOR
Springvalley Middle School students have volunteered to experience first-hand what it’s like to live in poverty in a poor country. Some 200 students will participate in what has become an annual fundraiser for the school, the World Vision 30-Hour Famine project. World Vision is a
Christian relief, development and advocacy organization, dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice. The fact Springvalley has raised $30,000 for World Vision from the previous two fundraisers has also caught the attention of the charity. So this year, the charitable agency has arranged for the band The Latency to give a free concert for Springvalley students and other local schools which participate in the fundraiser. The concert will take place at Willow Park Church tonight at 7:30
p.m., with students from Rutland Senior Secondary, Kelowna Senior Secondary, George Elliott, Kelowna Christian and Springvalley to be in attendance. Al Hopgood, the student support services teacher at Springvalley school, said the famine participation for the Grade 7, 8 and 9 students started Thursday evening, continues today and wraps up Saturday morning. During that time, the students are allowed to drink water and will get a bowl of rice to eat this evening. After the concert, the students return to their schools to participate in

various activities until it’s time to go to sleep in the gym. The famine will wrap up Saturday morning with a pancake breakfast, provided by the principal and teaching staff. Hopgood said the fundraiser offers a unique opportunity for students to better appreciate what it means to not have enough food to eat. “The students also feel a sense of accomplishment at having gone through it when it’s all over,” Hopgood said. And they’ve helped raise money from pledges to assist families in other countries living in poverty. Springvalley did its first famine fundraiser
in 2009—with the initial goal of raising $2,000. But with the responsive passion and excitement from the students, the school raised over $12,000. Last year, it was $20,000. World Vision’s 30 Hour Famine is the largest youth fundraiser to fight poverty and hunger. The goal is to raise public awareness of global hunger, poverty and injustice, and to raise money to address these issues.

Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Two local people have received awards for their donations to help the nonprofit Ducks Unlimited in its wetland conservation efforts. Ted Callahan, of Argus Properties, received the Platinum sponsorship award for donating more than $5,000 up to now to help raise funds for the conservation organization, while independent Avon representative Connie Klippenstein received the Silver Teal for her donations totalling more than $25,000. For many years, Klippenstein has donated
baskets full of Avon products to be auctioned off to raise funds for the work of Ducks Unlimited, and she is donating more for this year’s event. Ducks’ new Kelowna chapter chairman Byron Cook says: “It’s a pleasure to have such enthusiastic people contributing to our banquet and supporting our wetland conservation efforts. Both are aware that
these important funds are invested in habitat conservation, research and education.” This year, he said Callahan and his company sponsored a Beretta 686E Sporting Shotgun for this year’s May 14 fundraiser at the Ramada Hotel in Kelowna. “It will be another fun night with good food and some great auction items like framed Robert Bate-
man and Terry Redlin prints,” said Cook. As well, there will be a variety of other DUC items and a Paul Brant autographed acoustic guitar. To purchase tickets to the fund-raising event or for more information, contact Cook at DuckTown@telus.net or call 250-769-4378. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Voting remains a vital voice
O
ne would think that encouraging everyone to vote would be an important goal for all the political parties in this federal election. But the apathy that has reigned continually over recent elections is not a detriment, but at times an asset, in the world of political campaigning today. Engage your party’s vote, and ignore the rest of us has become the mantra in the U.S., and appears to be part of Stephen Harper’s strategy for minority govern-
ment survival. Pray for apathy seems to run against the motherhood philosophy of democracy, but it’s an effective weapon for campaign strategists. In the U.S., under the cynical guidance of Republican campaign strategist Karl Rove, George W. Bush was elected as president twice by the narrowest of margins. Why? Because the extreme right wing of the Bush’s Republican Party were energized to
vote, while those in the centre of the political spectrum were apathetic. President Barack Obana awoke that apathetic sleeping giant in the 2008 election and the Republican candidate John McCain was soundly defeated. But the political and economic carnage left behind from eight years under Bush continues to plague that country. For Harper, he knows going in that if he can swing close ridings in Quebec, Ontario and here
B.C., that could be the difference between Conservatives forming a majority government, or not. For the Liberals and NDP, they need to find a way to ignite the sleeping giant as Obama did among American voters in 2008. It’s a huge challenge facing in particular Michael Ignatieff and Jack Layton. And if you don’t know who either of them are or have not been paying attention to what they have to say, then both party leaders are off to a tough start.

Only one point of view welcomed by park-loving public
V
enturing forward to express support of a waterfront proposal that was battered hour-uponhour offered a test of emotional fortitude I wouldn’t have taken. Remarkably, four out of the 200plus who crammed into council chambers were up to the challenge Tuesday night. Among their ranks was a 20-something who trundled up to the mic at the public hearing to chip in a relatively simple comment about the Cedar Avenue project being scrutinized: “I like it,” he started. Crickets chirped as the crowd fell silent, obviously spent from hours of erratic clapping, hooting and sign waving. Then he followed up with some-
thing a bit more substantial. Concerned with the job market, he said he thought the commercial space in a potential development “could create hundreds” of new positions. Cue an audience 200-strong scoffing in unison. This, of course, is understandable too—at least half of those wheezing in derision hadn’t worked in a decade or more. Finally, he said, “Those parks we have are empty most of the time anyway,” and the crowd started popping joints and snorting like a pack of wild boars.
Smugly chortling,
KATHARTIC they tried to dismiss his
heresy, but there was a whiff of something in the air that showed they knew full-well he was on to something. SevKathy en months of the year, Michaels not even the most ardent tree hugger bothers to commune with nature in city owned parks, but for some reason that’s a verboten topic when it’s time to sing the praises for large swaths of grass. Not surprisingly, the tension in the air squeezed him out of the room after he spoke. It was a shameful moment and quite frankly I felt compelled to swad-
dle him in a pink, anti-bullying T-shirt on his way out because it was quite clear, there was only one opinion welcomed from the crowd. The vast majority at the public hearing phase of the proposal to rezone seven Cedar Avenue city-owned properties to accommodate a development, boardwalk and park were looking for a throw down. If they’d spent time to make a poster, it would have read, Big Bad City vs. Park Loving Public. Sounds good, but this heavyweight battle would have been a lot easier to get excited about if that was an honest depiction of the issues at play. Fact is, this space is currently used in a residential capacity—a common
mistake among waterfront communities. In an attempt to right that wrong, the city purchased the land and set it aside for parkland. Then, a decade or so ago, they devised a plan that would allow it to have a commercial and residential element as well. It slots into a system of parks that will allow residents to keep walking from expanses of green to areas where you can take a dip and, if city council stays with the direction set out decades ago, areas to get a bite to eat. All of this movement will be possible while soaking in the beauty of Okanagan Lake. Doesn’t sound so big and bad to me. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

A Gift in Memory No voice for students in Cedar debate Makes a Difference To the editor: After Wednesday’s extenuated council meeting (regarding Cedar Avenue property), while driving home I felt hopeless. So hopeless in fact that it almost brought me to tears. The council decision was deferred to April 18 when the final decision will be made. I was one of few young persons at the hearing and I now realize why. The public’s opinion doesn’t matter and I believe the youth of today know this. There is a lack of awareness throughout campuses of city plans, more so an unappreciated value of student body opinions and there are no persons who will actually represent that student body. What has the city done that has effectively made our student body aware? In my past two years of studies at Okanagan College, never have I heard about any city plans or different proposals. This goes back to high school as well. What would make a student body care? Unfortunately, the city hasn’t answered this question, as I have not seen, as a high school student and an Okanagan College marketing student, any signs of following the grow-
ing trends of social media and technologies to make our future generations informed. Another question presented: Does the city care about the values and thoughts of student bodies? Why is it that the city doesn’t come to the campus and present something that directly affects the school? Of the students that I did talk to, they had no idea of the proposed waterfront building that would replace potential park land. These people I talked to felt that it was a mistake on the city’s part and should embrace the idea of a large open space. But with those who I spoke to, and though they agreed that there should be park on the waterfront since the city owns it, they still felt that the city does what it wants, how would (a student) have a say? This attitude is formed because the youth of Kelowna feel under-valued and voiceless. If the city won’t listen to its seasoned citizens, why would the city listen to new ones? A lack of proper representation of the student bodies of the Kelowna region is visible. Not once has a city representative come to the
campus to gather opinions for these past two years. What do youth expect Kelowna to have for its future? Perhaps that forward thinking is something the city should truly value—fresh young ideas that can help Kelowna grow from the youth of today and become citizens of tomorrow who will want to continue to live in Kelowna. I truly hope that the city council refuses this proposal and sees that the proposed development is a substantially large mistake. I want to remind council that if this were to be passed, it would make South Pandosy less desirable and personally encourage me to move to a more accommodating neighbourhoods. It is sad that one would have to consider moving away from their hometown all because the city is only ever taking steps backward. It will be my goal to inform student bodies of Kelowna of this atrocity that we call the city of Kelowna. You will see more from us. Brittney Gray, Kelowna
City behind invisibility cloak of procedure To the editor: There was transparency and there were hidden agendas. There was us versus them. There were different opinions. Tuesday night I felt like I was in an episode of Star Trek at the public hearing in Kelowna City Hall for the Cedar Avenue rezoning. “Engage”! There was a heartfelt outpouring of support for a park to be built on the Cedar Avenue properties. Many presenters bared their souls and found the courage to ask for what they want. Like the “Starship Enterprise and its crew” they felt it necessary to fight the good fight. Problem is, no Jean Luc to lead them.
The Klingons, in the form of city council, were heavily cloaked, and could have been present; or not. One thing is for sure, the good guys did not stand a chance at this hearing. There would be no park on this night, decision was deferred. Which leaves a dilemma of Star Trek proportions. The public no longer has input to city council, they are fully cloaked. City council is caught between a rock and a hard place—they will remain cloaked and hide behind the familiarity of due process until this deal is decided. Build the park, lose face. Build the condo, lose votes. Drama of the political kind. The real loser in all this us-versus-them drama is nature whose voice is far from being heard. The very
planet that gives us life is being discussed in terms of a commodity to be bought and sold like so much lumber, or oil, or cel phones. Nature is once again left in the black hole of our ecological footprint. What could be, and should be the joyous celebration of reclaiming some lakeshore property and building a new park for Kelowna has been turned into a side show of will and ego, the strongest player wins. Park, or building—who will win? What will the celebration look like? Was it a fair fight? Who out there cares? What would Captain Kirk think of this voyage? Ahead Warp 5, Kelowna. Bob Purdy, Kelowna
Inquisitive reader sends prof to re-examine facts To the editor: On March 22 I participated in a World Water Week forum at the Bohemian Cafe, which was reported in the Capital News on the 25th. As part of the discussions, I stated that the number of farmers in the Okanagan had halved while the population had doubled in the past 30 years. An alert reader, Sierra Rayne, was not convinced, and after collecting some data showed that the number of farmers had not halved, but rather remained pretty much unchanged over the last 30 years. I am a university professor, and I try not to make statements that don’t have solid evidence to back them up. Within my profession we rely on the peer review process to catch errors. If I do some research and want to get it published, I have to convince my peers, through an official process, that I did the work well and that I didn’t miss important facts that challenge my conclusion. If my peers
find error in what I have done, then my job is to revisit my work and incorporate their challenges. If I am going to make statements in public, then I believe the public are my peers. I am grateful to Mr. Rayne for his challenge. He is right. I went back and looked at my own data, and the fact is that the number of farmers growing traditional crops of apples, pears and some soft fruits has pretty much halved. Since for Canada as a whole, total farm numbers have also declined, I mistakenly assumed that what was happening to the traditional farmers in the Okanagan represented the whole industry. Many of us know that B.C. is not like the rest of Canada, and the national trend in the number of farms is another place where we are different. Another thing I really appreciate about feedback like this is it inspires new questions. I thought I knew what was happening to Okanagan agriculture. I thought it was just like the rest of Canada,
where farms are getting bigger, taking advantage of economies of scale, and transitioning to modern, industrial agriculture. The stats suggest that this is the case for cherries and grapes, where acreage is growing faster than the number of farmers. This creates a mystery, and like the Scooby Doo gang, I love mysteries. So, where have all these farmers gone? Is it just a counting error? In the count of farms, those growing apples, pears, and peaches show up three times, while farms growing only grapes show up once. Are there new agricultural enterprises taking off that are not yet captured by the data? If this is true, then the news we hear about how hard it is to make money growing traditional crops is nothing to worry about. Industries evolve and adapt, and maybe there are plenty of profitable opportunities out there. Are these just tax farmers? Maybe a number of people are reporting farming on the census form when they
have a sharecropping arrangement that allows them to claim farm status on their income tax, even though they have little to do with actually farming their land. These are important questions, because how they are answered has strong implications for how we support the agriculture industry. Thank you, Mr. Rayne, for challenging me. If I am to get out of the ivory tower and do research that makes a meaningful con-
tribution to the community in which I live, I need challengers like you. I will always try to do the best I can, but I can be wrong. If you don’t agree with me, or don’t like what I say, then challenge me. I’ll try my best to use these challenges to build a dialog where we all learn something, and are able to move towards making our community an ever better place to be. Dr. John Janmaat, UBCO

ear StrataScene: I live in an apartment style strata complex and wanted to know if I’m able to display an election sign for the current federal elec-
tion campaign? Yes, strata residents are allowed to display election material, but as all things involving stratas there are conditions and rules to follow.
Section 322 of The Canada Elections Act provides that no condominium corporation, or any of its agents, may prohibit the owner of a condominium unit from displaying
election advertising posters in his or her unit. However, the corporation may set reasonable conditions relating to the size or type of advertising that may be displayed on
a private strata lot, but can prohibit advertising from being displayed in common areas of the building. Before displaying elections signs, strata members should check

STRATA SCENE
Gunnar Forsstrom with their bylaws to determine if any conditions exist. Furthermore, with apartment style condominiums it is often unclear where the demarcation is between a strata lot and common property. Generally, in an apartment style complex, the envelope, or exterior of the building is common property and limits the areas for electioneering. While the outside surface of the window is common property it should be safe to display the poster on the inside surface. Hanging banners and signs on balconies and exterior walls would probably invite bylaw violation complaints citing the alteration of common property with permission. Few issues in life evoke as much passionate debate as do politics and religion. And this situation can easily be intensified when individual rights and strata rules compete within the condo community. *** The Waste Reduction Office has decided to hold an open house specifically designed to inform strata corporations and strata managers how to comply with the recycling rules and avoid being fined. It was recently announced that wide spread abuse of the rules has reached the point where waste material is being inspected at the Kelowna land fill to identify violators. Fines will be levied against garbage haulers who have indicated they will pass them along to the offending condos. The open house will be held April 26 at the Center for Learning Atrium at Okanagan College between 2 and 5 p.m. Coffee and doughnuts will be provided.

Preliminary hearing for Irving murder case now set for 2012
▼ FORESTRY
Determining whether there’s enough evidence to proceed with a trial for the self proclaimed, ex-Independent Soldier accused of killing an Okanagan woman will finally get underway next year. Joelon David Atish Verma—who is accused of the 2010 killing of Britney Lee Irving—is scheduled for a preliminary hearing in Kelowna courts Jan. 3, 2012. While police have been loath to release many details, they’ve said they believe Irving, 24, left a local hotel where she was staying April 6, 2010 in order to meet with Verma and sell him a “large quantity” of marijuana.
Lumber from A1
It was the last day she was seen by her family. She was reported missing and her SUV was found abandoned on Philpott Road the next day, making way for a flurry of speculation about her drug connections and fate. Nearly two months later, on May 25, 2010, rumors were laid to rest when Irving’s body was found. Mounties won’t disclose the exact location except to say it wasn’t the same area where her car was found. Subsequent autopsy results indicated her death was a homicide. Verma was arrested in June 2010, and faces robbery and first degree murder charges.
U.S. softwood lobby starting to stir of May to help replace homes for those displaced by the tsunami, but Allan presented the project more as the tip of the iceberg. “My sense would be that this is a small percentage of what they’re actually going to need, and I’m wondering if they aren’t going to need something more like 100,000 units,” he said. Japan is a key lumber market for Canada’s in-
dustry as the country traditionally builds with wood and was already facing a rapidly aging population in need of new buildings, like retirement homes, to meet a new need. It has also been a key market for pine beetle wood and the Interior of B.C.’s industry players are facing a major legal battle over the pricing of this new commodity. Arbitration with the United States on pricing of the wood under the

exercise for us and it will be an investigation into how we price and grade our timber in B.C.,” he said. “I can say within the confines of this room, we are being cautious.” Should Canada lose ground in the dispute, a good deal of the B.C. Interior’s wood will face a nominal border tax, which could severely affect export profits. That said, softwood lumber squabbles with the U.S. are not as heated as they once were, according to Allan. When Canada’s softwood sales presence starts to exceed 30 per cent of the U.S. market, it piques the interest of the U.S. lumber lobby leading to trade disputes, but the emergence of the Chinese market appears to be easing that conflict. This year alone, sales in China have increased by 100 per cent, thanks to the efforts of the provincial government, which spent years of leg-work helping establish new building codes and a better understanding of how to build with wood in China where it has not been a traditional building material. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Softwood Lumber Agreement begins next week and is expected to be a major showdown, Allan indicated. “The U.S. Trade Representative’s office, after lots of political lobbying by the lumber lobby in Washington, D.C., which is one of the best political lobby groups I’ve ever seen in action—very focused, very political— are claiming that there’s something wrong with the way we price grade four timber,” he said. Allan noted that grade four is what’s assigned to beetle timber. The beetle wood is very difficult to cut and has been priced lower to encourage sales, angering American lumber producers. Though the United States has targeted a sixmonth time frame for the legal scuffle, Allan said he expects it will be a far more protracted issue that will dominate news headlines in coming months. The London Court of International Arbitration will see three European lawyers hear the beginnings of the case next Monday in Washington, D.C., who will set the pace moving forward. “It will be an onerous

Speaking in an area that was evacuated when the Mount Boucherie wildfire threatened to destroy Lakeview Heights, B.C. Forest Minister Steve Thomson announced Thursday that $25 million will be spent in the next two years on protection from wildfire for communities in wildland interface areas. With a beetle-killed pine tree towering above his head, Thomson said the Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative, which is focussed on reducing the risk of interface wildfires, will be administered by the Union of B.C. Municipalities, with funding to local governments doled out on a cost-sharing formula. This follows on $37 million provided by the federal and provincial governments for similar protection work, which was also administered by the UBCM. Forest protection officer Jim Mottishaw demonstrated the work that has already been done in regional parkland off Trevor Drive in Lakeview Heights to help protect adjacent private property, and
demonstrated how little smoke is produced when the work is done over two years, permitting the cut limbs to cure and dry before they’re burned. He lit a small pile of the dead branches and ground fuels in forest which had been thinned and where trees had already been spaced out, to demonstrate the clean burning, quick disposal of those dry needles and wood. “The threat of wildfire is close to all of us here,” said Thomson in making the announcement, surrounded by red-shirted forest ministry firefighters and government officials. Thomson, the MLA for Kelowna-Mission, said neighbours he talked to prior to the announcement are positive about the work being done to reduce the risk from wildfire in their neighbourhood and they’re proactive about taking steps themselves to mitigate the possibility of wildfire. The $25 million program will be available over two years and involve all local governments and First Nations in the province, where more than 230 community wildfire protection plans have been completed
since the Gary Filmon Report followed the Okanagan Mountain Park Wildfire in 2003. That was one of his recommendations, that interface forest fuels by reduced by government, to help protect communities. Mottishaw said fire crews from his ministry will continue to do spacing and fuel reduction and will also conduct low intensity burns in forested areas near human communities. “People are more understanding of the need to manage the forest. Burning is one of the tools,” he commented. While chipping and removal of dead material is done whenever possible, he said that’s not always an option. For instance, 550 trees were removed from 16 hectares of forestland on the north side of Mount Boucherie over the past couple of years and small piles of dry wood were burned with little smoke. There is another 16 hectares on the site that still need to be spaced and pruned and the debris burned. Where the funds will be allocated has yet to be decided. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

formation at hand to the province’s top cop, who will ultimately decide if the disciplinary hearing will be held. “We don’t have control over what happens on the criminal side, but we can hold our employees accountable when they fall short of meeting our service delivery standard,”
he said. Packer, 30, initiated the complaint to the RCMP in November, alleging he had been assaulted by a police officer on the Bennett Bridge Aug.10, 2010, while driving a repossessed boat back to his employer. In an interview in January, Packer alleged he

was arrested at gunpoint by officers who were told the boat had been stolen. One, he alleged, punched him in the head while he was being pulled out of the truck. He then claimed he was punched at least two more times in the head while on the ground. At the time of those two punches, he said his hands were behind his back and he was not resisting. He was never charged with a criminal offence following the incident, and suffered abrasions, road rash and a black eye, in addition to losing a tooth. Meantime, Mantler is still suspended with pay and awaiting an April 26 court date for two other charges that Crown Counsel approved. One stems from an August incident involving Manjit Singh Bhatti but the details of that case have not been released. The other the highly publicized Buddy Tavares case where Mantler was caught on video kicking the man in the head, while he was on the ground submitting to arrest. It sparked a public outcry that’s continued to follow the Mounties for months. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Make sure your health practitioner is working for you T oday, we are fortunate to have many different types of health practitioners. They come in many different packages, each having their own specialty. We have access to physicians, chiropractors, physical therapists, massage therapist, acupuncturists, naturopaths, etc. This is a necessity as much as a luxury. Of course, there are the mandatory requirements in a good practitioner—competency, knowledge, dedication all deliv-
ASK DR.THIEL
Markus Thiel ered professionally and consistently. But there are also some more subtle requirements that must be met by a health practitioner that may be more subtle, but are just as important. In choosing a health practitioner, rapport is
tantamount to your success in that relationship. Whenever I have a new patient visiting my clinic, I know full well that we are not only involved in an examination, there is also an interview taking place. I think it is entirely appropriate to interview your proposed health practitioner. Ask them how long they’ve been practicing, what they do to stay current in their field, and ask them what they perceive their role to be in your health care.
You are not being inappropriate in also asking for a resume. Whether or not an exchange of money is taking place, you are still hiring someone for a specific job, one that is very essential to your life. In order to be successful, there has to be a “good fit.” If you feel your health practitioner is not meeting your needs, move on. This is your right as the patient. Here are some suggestions I propose you consider when interacting with your health practitio-
DOUBLE HEADER
ner on your next visit. Do you feel heard? Are you able to explain your concerns fully or do you feel cut off and hurried, eventually leaving you with a feeling that resembles cattle being herded? In order for effective communication and a successful resolution of the problem to take place, there has to be a point during a visit that you feel understood. It is my belief that no action can take place until you’re given a direction or outcome that is beneficial to you. I’m reminded of some sage advice I was given by a senior clinician while I was in chiropractic college. She told me: “The largest service you can provide your patient is to simply shut up and listen.” Harsh advice, but true for without the patient,
there would be no clinic. We are there for you, not the other way around. You need to leave the office visit feeling that your practitioner knows what it’s like to live in your skin. Most important, it must be well-established what your desires or needs are at the time of your visit. When you communicate clearly and succinctly your needs and concerns, it gives the practitioner a laser-like direction in assisting you. This is where we need to take a leadership role as the patient. Ultimately, it is us who are responsible for our own wellness and overall health, not your practitioner. We are simply consultants. Therefore, it is important to discuss with your practitioner what your desired outcome should be.
The patient needs to explain clearly what is going on, and the practitioner needs to listen empathetically. It’s only in this matter that a common goal will be ascertained and reached. How accessible is your practitioner? Can you call them at home if you need to, after hours if there is an urgency? I make sure that all of my patients have my personal cell phone number. Care is not very effective if you do not have access to it when you need it most. The relationship that you have with your health practitioner is up to both of you. But do not forget, you’re the boss. Dr. Markus Thiel is a chiropractor practicing in Kelowna. askdrthiel@shaw.ca

▼ WHL
Playoffs open doors Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
The lure of a championship isn’t the only motivation for players on the Kelowna Rockets to extend the Western Hockey League team’s season well into the month of May. For graduating veterans like Geordie Wudrick, Evan Bloodoff and Zak Stebner—among several other Rockets—the playoffs also serve as an audition for the next phase of their hockey careers. The 2011 post season represents one last chance for Wudrick who was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in 2008, but was unable to earn a contract with the NHL team. Wudrick hopes a productive series against the Portland Winterhawks and, ideally beyond that, will put him back on the map as a legitimate pro prospect.
“My goal has always been to play in the NHL and I’m not giving up on that dream,” said Wudrick, who earned an invite to Phoenix Coyotes’ rookie camp last fall. “If I play my hardest and help the team win, then that will help me at the same time. I’d like to secure a one-year AHL deal… if that doesn’t work out, then playing pro in Europe is definitely an option. The playoffs are an opportunity to show your skills and a lot of people are watching.” The brain trust of the Rockets has long preached that the further the team goes in the playoffs, the better the opportunities become for individual players, whether it’s earning invites to pro camps, signing pro contracts, or boosting a player’s draft stock. “It’s very well known that if a team has playoff success, then individ-
ual success will follow… doors can be opened,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “Veteran players and draftable players can all benefit from a long playoff run. It’s why it’s the best time of year, it tends to separate players and determines whether teams will take certain players or pass them by.” In Evan Bloodoff’s case, the 20-year-old forward is trying to secure a deal with the Phoenix Coyotes, the NHL club that selected him in the sixth round of the 2009 draft. If he doesn’t sign by June 1, then Bloodoff would become a free agent. “I think what Evan has done since Christmas on is really the way he has to play for the rest of the playoffs,” said Huska. “He’s brought energy, and he’s been our hardest working guy a lot of nights. If Evan can give

VETERAN FORWARD Geordie Wudrick is among several Kelowna Rockets who are hoping to boost their stock in the eyes of professional teams with an extended WHL playoff run.

BCHL 3-peat for Vernon Vipers Not many people would have bet on the Vernon Vipers to sweep the Powell River Kings in the Fred Page Cup championship series. Then again, not many would have picked them to come back from a threegoal deficit against the top defensive team in the B.C. Hockey League. The Snakes accomplished both feats Tuesday night at Wesbild Centre, securing their third
straight Fred Page Cup title with a 5-4 overtime win in Game 4. Mike Zalewski recorded the winner eight minutes into OT, bringing nearly 2,500 fans to their feet in celebration. The New Hartford, N.Y. native was all alone on netminder Michael Garteig’s doorstep to tuck home the rebound off a Brett Corkey point shot. Down three goals early in the second period,
captain David Robinson led the Viper rally with a pair of powerplay goals. For Robinson, one of six locals on the roster— Zach McPhee, Bryce Kakoske, Max Mowat, Colton Sparrow and Trevor Fitzgerald are the others—captaining the team to a league title was a dream come true. “I was lucky enough for Mark (head coach Ferner) to give me the ‘C’ this year and to cap-
tain a group like that is pretty special. We’re tightknit group and it’s kind of a cherry on top to captain a group to a league championship, especially in my hometown for a team I grew up watching. I’m trying to create my own memories playing for them.” The Vipers move on to the Doyle Cup series versus the Alberta champion which will begin in Vernon on April 15 and 16.
plenty of attention with his play between the pipes this season. Rockets GM Bruce Hamilton said a strong playoff could help fortify the 19-year-old California native as a potential pick in the 2011 NHL entry draft. Failing that, Brown will be looking for an invite to a pro camp this summer. Rockets who also stand to benefit from a prolonged playoff run are the club’s draft-eligible 18-year-old players, including Shane McColgan, Zach Franko and Jessey Astles. The speedy McColgan—ranked 102nd by Central Scouting—has undoubtedly already boosted his stock after tallying 10 points in Ke-
lowna’s first round sweep of Prince George. As for Geordie Wudrick, the 6-foot-3 sniper from Abbotsford is trying to follow up his 43-goal campaign with a memorable playoff—both for his team’s sake and his own future. “The main thing is to show you can perform in the playoffs, where the checking is tighter and the games are a lot more intense,” said Wudrick, who scored twice in four games against Prince George. “I was able to do that last year and hopefully I can do it again. “But my main focus right now has to be winning a Memorial Cup and sharing it with the guys here. Then the rest will take care of itself.”

Gelowitz wins Canadian Masters Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
After taking more than a decade off from curling, Garry Gelowitz returned to the sport in 2001 with the intention of simply playing for fun. As it turned out, his competitive fire was just too much to extinguish. Ten years later, Gelowitz has claimed his first ever national title. The Kelowna Curling Club foursome captured the 2011 Canadian Masters (60-plus) Men’s Curl-
ing Championship Tuesday in Winnipeg with a 6-3 win over Manitoba’s John Usackis. Trailing 2-1 after three, the Gelowitz rink— also featuring Roy Giles, Brad Smolik and Dennis Case—took control of the final with three in the fourth end and never looked back. For Gelowitz, 65, who was a competitive curler in Saskatchewan back in the 1970s and 1980s, winning his first national title is a satisfying accomplishment.
“Did I think I would win my first one at 65 ? Not a chance,” said Gelowitz with a laugh. “It’s better late than never, that’s for sure. I know I don’t feel 65 and I still enjoy the game a lot.” The Gelowitz rink posted an 8-1 record at the Canadian Masters, defeating Quebec in the 3-4 Page Playoff game, then disposing of Ontario in the semifinal. It was the second straight trip to the nationals for Gelowitz who lost the 3-4 game last year in
St. John’s, Nfld. Gelowitz also came close to earning a trip to the Canadian Senior Men’s Curling championship this year, but lost the B.C. final last month in Kamloops to Greg McAulay. The Gelowitz rink is the second Kelowna Curling Club team to win the Canadian Masters Championship. The Dale McKenzie foursome won the 2006 title in Bridgewater, N.S.

HANDLEY IN EDMONTON
Makinli Handley competed at the annual Wild Rose International competition in Edmonton. Handley is competing in the High Performance Junior category this year, so Handley and coach Sergei Chelest travelled to this competition to gain some more experience at a higher level. After the first day of competition and qualifying competition, Handley finished in 10th place all around and qualified for three out of four event finals, the vault, uneven bars, and floor exercise. She competed the following day in the finals competition and earned a silver medal on the vault. This was a good competition for Handley as she gained some valuable experience competing at this caliber.
Female AAA Rockets fall in best of three to Edmonton Thunder The Thompson Okanagan Rockets put up a fight before going down to defeat at the hands of the Edmonton Thunder in the Female AAA Pacific Regional playdowns. In the opener of the best of three last weekend in Edmonton, the Rockets dropped a 4-2 decision to the Thunder. Kelsey Freudenberger and Bre Frasca scored the goals for the two-time B.C. champs. In Game 2, the Thunder completed the sweep with a 7-1 win. Janessa Jenkins scored T.O.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have come very far this season in advancing B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s female game and have accomplished in this series and at the Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tournament milestones that no B.C. female team had accomplished to date,â&#x20AC;? said head coach Mark Elder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a building block for next season.â&#x20AC;?
OKANAGAN GIRLS BRONZE
Eight players from Kelowna and area helped Team Okanagan to the bronze medal at the 2011 Female U16 B.C. Cup hockey tournament in 100 Mile House.
The Okanagan girls defeated Team Island 4-1 morning in the third place game. Local players on the Okanagan squad were: goalies Ryan Bethany, Kellie Montgomery, defenders Kennedy Kneller and Samantha Feiseler, and forwards Breanna Berndsen, Cassie Laturnus, Lauren Spring and Taylor Whiteside. Other players were from Penticton, Vernon, Kamloops, Salmon Arm and Clearwater. The head coach was Mark Elder, who also coaches the B.C. Female AAA champion Thompson Okanagan Rockets. Okanagan won its first game 6-5 over Kootenay, beat the North 5-1, but was then eliminated from gold medal contention with a 7-5 loss to Fraser Valley. Fraser Valley went on to defeat Greater Vancouver 4-1 in the gold medal game. The U16 programs are designed to aid in the development of B.C. Hockeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elite level players. While the camps are used for identification and tryout purposes, player development is the pri-

ENTERTAINMENT Art keeps young mom’s life in balance Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Carol Shields famously confessed she felt like she stole time to write her books as a stay-at-home mother of five—her first, in the single hour before her brood returned home for lunch. That tidbit brings a smile to new artist Shandra Smith’s face after she sheepishly explains how she works in 15 minute segments whenever she can get the time away from her three-year-old and six-year-old. “I know I need art in my life just to be emotionally and physically healthy,” she said. “The months where I don’t work, because I haven’t been able to get enough time away, I can tell.” On balance, if it weren’t for the kids and that complicated life, she might not have this burgeoning artistic career. Her brilliantly coloured mixed media pieces blossomed as she messed around with a small pointand-shoot digital camera she was given to take pictures of the children. “I started just play-
ing with a basic piece of software,” she explained. “I didn’t even know how it worked. I still don’t use Photoshop the way you’re supposed to.” Using things like balloons, crepe-paper streamers, and a certain florescent moulding clay many a child grew up periodically tasting, she gets the nuts and bolts needed to spin her Photoshop designs. “I really like that everyone sees something different in them,” she said. Where her father sees a parrot in one, many others have claimed it’s really a fish or a seashell. There’s no denying one lilting, feathery mix of colour bares some resemblance to scarves or curtains, but the artist herself likens it to symphony curtains rolled out on canvass. Now roughly four years into her experimental art career, she says her real call to action came from a rather dark place. Her mother passed away quite suddenly a couple of years ago and it made the artist realized she couldn’t just mess around with the colours

She has had to build a website, start the social marketing schemes, find a gallery that would take her on and is still struggling with the sales portion of the deal. Yet this month Smith landed herself an entire wall. She is the featured artist at A. Woodside Design Gallery, adding some much-needed spring to the gallery’s step with a colourful display reminiscent of the flowers one used to see come up in April (before perpetual winters set in). Each work is an original, as at this point, she is not doing prints. “I really like that she’s doing something total-
ly different with photography,” said Alissa Woodside, gallery owner. “This is totally unique. It’s her own thing.” Original work is a mandate at the little gallery and, even through the recession and post-recession blues, Woodside has stuck to her plan to keep it that way. “It’s a difficult decision. I know it’s so much more economical for people to buy prints,” she said. “But this gives the artist the opportunity to continue creating.” Smith’s work can be seen in the gallery at 1516 Pandosy St. for the remainder of the month or on her website www. shandrasmith.com.

Rick Davis Last weekend, as the voice of the Easter Bunny in Hop, he had the number one movie and this weekend, he stars in the remake of Arthur. Arthur became a surprise and award-winning hit 30 years ago, starring Dudley Moore, John Gielgud and Liza Minnelli. It was the story of a drunken and spoiled playboy who must marry the woman his family chooses to inherit his father’s fortune. He reluctantly agrees, but instead meets and falls madly in love with a working-class waitress.
CONTRIBUTED
RUSSELL BRAND stars as Arthur in the remake of the iconic 1981 comedy. It won a Golden Globe Award for Moore and Academy Awards for Gielgud and its iconic theme song Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do). Brand seems to be perfect for the role of Arthur, but the casting of Oscar-winner Helen Mirren in the Gielgud role (in this case, she’s Arthur’s nanny) is even better. Add to the cast Greta Gerwig as the workingclass love interest, Jennifer Garner as his prospective fiancée and Nick Nolte as her father, and
the remake could be as much of a hit as the original. Rated PG with a warning of coarse language and violence. However, Arthur has some comedy competition this weekend with another movie about a deadbeat heir. The difference is that Your Highness is also a stoner-fantasy set in medieval times (it is, after all, from the director of The Pineapple Express). Danny McBride stars as a lazy, arrogant prince whose father will cut him
off unless he joins the quest to save his brother’s (James Franco) fiancée, who has been captured by an evil wizard (Justin Theroux). They are joined by a warrior princess (Natalie Portman) and together must vanquish horrific creatures and traitorous knights to save the damsel in distress (Zooey Deschanel). Rated 14A with warnings of violence, sexual content and nudity. In what looks to be the most interesting action-thrillers in a while, Hanna is about a 16-year-
old girl with the strength, stamina and the smarts of a soldier. Raised in the wilds of Finland by her widowed father (Eric Bana), an exCIA man, he has taught her hunting, self-defence and home-schooled her to make her the perfect assassin. When Hanna is sent on a mission by her father, she must not only avoid agents dispatched by a ruthless intelligence operative (Cate Blanchett), buy must face startling revelations about her existence and humanity. Hanna is played by Saoirse (pronounced SEER-shuh) Ronan, who is best known as the young murder victim in The Lovely Bones. Rated PG for violence and coarse language. Soul Surfer is the inspiring story of teen surfer Bethany Hamilton, who lost her arm in a shark attack in 2003 but returned to competitive surfing.

Sporty new Lexus CT 200h hatchback is entry point to Lexus lineup Lorne Drury CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
Every once and a while, a car comes along that is what they call in the industry a segment buster. It just doesn’t fit into one distinct category. The new 2011 Lexus CT 200h may be just such a car. While it is positioned as the gateway into the Lexus brand, the CT 200h is unique in that it is a luxury gasoline-electric hybrid hatchback. There is nothing else like it on the market today and Lexus calls it is a luxury vehicle that changes all the rules. Many things make the
CT 200h appealing. First is the price point. For anyone wanting to move up into the luxury market, the CT 200h gives you an entry point at under $31K. Even loaded, the car comes in under $40K. Secondly, the CT 200h features the best fuel economy of any car in the luxury segment, with a combined Natural Resources Canada fuel economy rating of 4.6L/100 km (61mpg). That means if you drive it carefully, you should be able to get up to 900 km on one (45L) tank of fuel. On top of that, the CT is among the clean-

With 1,200 units of the Japanese-built CT destined for Canada this year, Lexus should have no trouble selling all they can get their hands on. In fact, after the first month of sales, Lexus officials said at the launch in mid-March that demand is double what they anticipated. During a daylong introduction to the car in snowy Calgary, it soon became evident that the CT is different from other Lexus models. First is the size. This is a smallish, yet versatile vehicle, that competes against the likes of the BMW 128, Audi A3, Volvo C30 and Mercedes-Benz C200. It sits in a segment that Lexus has never targeted before and the hatchback styling is a first for the brand. While the CT uses a similar hybrid drive system and platform to the Toyota Prius, that’s where the similarity ends. This is a driver-oriented hybrid that is actually fun to drive, unlike the Prius, which gets you where you want to go economically, but in a less than exhilarating fashion. The CT gives you four driving modes to choose from, including a Sport mode for a more responsive, engaging driving experience. In Sport, steering feels more direct, throttle response is increased and the traction and stability control systems are less intrusive. See Lexus CT B3

ECO mode selection produces silent ride, big savings Lexus CT from B2 In addition, hybrid battery power output is increased from 500v to 650v and the hybrid power system indicator switches into a tachometer, illuminated in red along with the rest of the instrument panel If you want more reserved driving response, use the drive mode select switch to engage the Normal, EV or ECO modes. EV (electric vehicle) uses battery power only for one to two kilometers at speeds up to 40 km/h. This produces a quiet, emissions-free drive since the gasoline engine is not in use. In ECO mode, throttle response and climate control are optimized. Both settings help reduce fuel consumption. Normal mode has the ideal balance of power and drivability and with that setting the illumination colour switches to blue. The five-door, frontwheel drive CT will carry up to five passengers, but four would certainly fit more comfortably, particularly for a lengthy road ttrip.

often lacking in the funto-drive factor. The CT weighs in at 1,420 kg (3,130 lb) and is agile and nimble, thanks in
part to the lengths Lexus engineers went to reduce weight. The hood and rear hatchback are lightweight aluminum, while high-
strength steel is used extensively on the body. Making the car easy to maneuver was important because the CT will be

largely an urban car. It has a tight turning circle of 11.2m (36.9 ft) and the electric power steering makes the car easy to get around in tight parking lots. The rear hatch is light and easy to open and close, but I found it interesting that Lexus chose not to offer a power remote open/close option for the rear hatch. That’s unusual for any vehicle in the luxury segment. The 60/40 split rear seats fold down to enlarge the 405 litres (14.4 cu ft) of cargo capacity behind the rear seats. The CT is loaded with safety features, including eight standard airbags, an anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brake force distribution (EBD), brake assist (BA), traction control and vehicle stability control. The CT 200h has a distinct resemblance to the FL-Ch compact hybrid concept first shown in 2009 at the Frankfurt motor show. Lexus makes extensive use of eco materials in the CT 200h. The base CT comes with NuLuxe synthetic leather seats. NuLuxe is a lightweight material that weighs half as much as leather and its manufacturing process generates 65 per cent few-
er C02 emissions. As well, the carpeting is made from 30 per cent plant-based sources, while the audio speakers are derived from bamboo fibres. The CT comes in four trim levels’ Base, Touring, Premium and Technology. Touring, a $1,950 option, adds 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels (16inch alloys are standard) and a power moonroof to take the price to $32,900. Standard features on the Base model include the Smart Key system with a push button start/ stop, leather wrapped steering wheel, a sixspeaker audio system with steering-wheel audio controls, integrated XM satellite radio receives, USB/ iPod connectivity, heated front seats and dual zone automatic climate control. The Premium model, priced at $35,900, includes 17-inch alloys, 10-speaker premium audio system with six-disc CD changer, driver seat memory system, leather seating surfaces, power moonroof, auto-dimming mirrors, backup camera and compass and rainsensing wipers. The top-of-the-line Technology model, priced at $39,350, includes all of the above plus a voice activated navigation sys-

While the CT 200h is not seen as a big seller in North America, it certainly is a nifty little vehicle. It allows environmentally conscious, young urbanites a chance to move up into the Lexus lineup with a car that is economical, yet fun to drive. If the price of gasoline continues its upward trend, we could see more and more of these sporty hybrid hatchbacks on North American roads in years to come. Lexus may indeed have a segment buster on its hands.

Kia’s Rondo EX-V6 a compact people hauler with seats for seven Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR
Along with the previous generation Sportage, the Rondo CUV was one of the first signs that Kia was starting to emerge with its own identity from under the wing of big brother,
Hyundai. My first encounter was in 2006 when I drove the Rondo that was badged as a 2007 model. Kia calls it a CUV but, to me, it’s really a station wagon. What continues to stand out was how Kia got three rows of seats in a car with a wheelbase
of 2,700 mm (106.3 in) and a length of 4,545 mm (178.9 in), but they did. Like the Mazda5, the third row is (very) occasional but it still can be used literally in a pinch. Nonetheless cargo volume is a whole lot more than you’d believe from standing on the
outside. With the second and third row folded flat there is 2,083 liters (73.4 cu ft). With second row up and the third row flat, which is how the Rondo would be most of the time, there is 898 litres See Kia Rondo B6

MOTORING DEBUTING in 2006, the Kia Rondo (2011 EX-V6 model shown) continues to offer seating for up to seven with a starting price of $19,995 CONTRIBUTED
Capital News Friday, April 8, 2011

MOTORING Kia Rondo from B6 And because of the slighter higher stance than sedans, the driver gets a better view ahead. Except for the Premium models that have full leather, Kia uses cloth for the seats with available heating as on the EX-V6 as tested here. Seven seats are standard on all but the base LX model which has no third row. There are two engines and transmissions available. The LX, EX and EX Premium are equipped with a 2.4-litre DOHC inline four-cylinder producing 175 hp and 169 lb/ft of torque sending power to the front wheels through a four-speed Steptronic automatic transmission. The EX-V6 (as tested) and EX-V6 Premium come with a 2.7-litre DOHC V6 making 192 hp and 184 lb/ft of torque. The transmission here is a five-speed Steptronic automatic driving the front wheels. Fuel consumption ratings on the 2.4-litre are 10.6/7.5L/100 km (27/38 mpg) city/highway and 11.5/7.7L/100 km (25/37 mpg) city/highway for the V6. If you have a small boat or trailer, the fourcylinder can haul 680 kg (1,500 lb) while the V6 is rated at 907 kg (2,000 lb). By trim, the Rondo prices are: LX, $19,995; EX, $22,795; EX Premium, $25,095; EX-V6, $23,895; EX-V6 Luxury, $27,195. The EX-V6 as tested here had no options. With the $1,650 shipping fee and air tax, the grand total was $25,795. Like all Kias, even the base model is equipped with power locks/windows/mirror, Bluetooth connectivity and rear window washer/wiper. In terms of safety, the Rondo is fully equipped with six airbags, front active headrests, fourwheel discs (no drums) with ABS and traction control plus electronic stability control. Suspension was pretty standard fare with MacStruts at the front and an independent multi-link at the rear with stabilizer bars at both ends. On my near weekly trips to pick up my son from college, the Rondo felt light on steering inputs when I was expecting it to be heavier. Also, the high profile was susceptible to gusts of wind from the side. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m talking about bursts of up to 50 km/h that day according to the weather office.
The Rondo tracked true thanks to the stability control, which, you typically never know is there until you need it. While it may not have standout styling, the Kia Rondo is nonetheless a very capable vehicle. And with Kiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famed five-year full warranty itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth a test drive.

This included a spell in Cyprus for three years and extensive travel in Europe with their sons Russell and Bruce. They then emigrated to Canada where Morag was actively involved in the Red Cross and the Church Guild, amongst many other pursuits such as bridge and swimming. Twenty years in Oyama living beside Kamalka Lake were wonderful family years and Morag and Hylton built a wonderful home for the family full of love and warmth. In 1992, they moved to Kelowna, and with their many friends and family close by, they enjoyed their retirement years. Morag is survived by sons Russell (Wasana) of Bangkok; and Bruce of Kelowna; granddaughters Metta, Alisha, Krista, Katie and Sarah; sister Margaret (John) of Glasgow, Scotland. Morag was a wonderful wife and mother, who was admired greatly by all that knew her. She was full of life, outgoing, active and inspiring, and lived each day with love and a warm, caring spirit. We will miss her so very much. We take comfort from knowing that she is now reunited with her beloved Hylton, in the presence of God.

Chris Keyser of the Ontario chapter of the National Corvette Restorers Society (NCRS) suggested owners would really benefit by expanding their knowledge, not to mention the performance, of their sportscars. Wilson is a long-time Corvette enthusiast whose dealership has been selling the marque for 51 years. In fact, Wilson Niblett is today the top Corvette dealership in the country.

In face we had 157 register online which is a first.” One of the special guests was Carl Pickelman, site director for the General Motors Performance Build Centre at the GM Wixon Engine Plant in Michigan where the mighty LS7 and LS9 V8 engines are assembled as well as the dry-sump version of the LS3 V8 used in the Grand Sport Cor-
vettes. Another special guest was one of the rarest Corvettes around, the Z06X concept car shown at the recent SEMA show in Las Vegas. The car left Michigan at 8 a.m. of the day of the show. As soon as the tech day ended, it was put back in an enclosed transport truck and taken back to Detroit. For more information visit Corvette’s Canadisn web site: www.corvettecanada.ca.
