▼ SHUSWAP ACCIDENT

Aggressive boating not evident here Kathy Michaels CONTRIBUTOR

From the captain’s chair of his boat, Lee Miller has had a pretty good view of what’s happening on Okanagan Lake this year. Certainly, there’s been “no crazy speeding” as was seen in the fatal crash in the Shuswap last weekend. In fact, from what he’s seen, “everyone’s driving pretty decent.” “I haven’t noticed Kelowna being a bad spot for boaters,” he said, stressing that he’s never known it to be the go-to place to drive like a fool and this year is no different. That pretty much mirrors Const. Steve Holmes’ observations. While he’s only been on lake patrols a couple of times this year, there’s been nothing to lead him to believe that the crash in the Shuswap is typical of a new wave of careless boaters—at least on Okanagan Lake, anyway. “We’re not seeing a lot of aggressive boating, and I think that’s because of new legislation that basically forces people to learn about boating safety and etiquette in order to get the operators card.” “The problems arise

when you’ve got people —and it’s not common —who are thrill seeking …that’s a recipe for disaster.” He said parties that take place on the water certainly don’t improve conditions either. In addition, there’s a more concerted effort on policing Kelowna’s portion of the lake this year, and if drunken or careless boaters are around, the chances they’ll be caught have doubled. “We now have the capacity to put two police boats out,” said Holmes. “We have a member who (moves) from normal duties to the boat for the boat season.” He operates on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and the Mounties have overtime scheduled shifts for one or both boats, each weekend, until past Labour Day. “But, by all accounts, people are behaving well and have their operators card when they are approached,” he said. “That said, the heat is going to bring a lot more people out, so we may see that (other) behaviour come out.” Holmes also said that everyone can play a part See Boating A5

WESTSIDE COLLISION…Two bicyclists riding side by side heading east on Highway 97 near

Westside Road are being blamed by police for contributing to an accident Wednesday afternoon involving a VIDEO VID ID DEO EO ON ONL ONLINE: NLLIN N INE: INE transport truck and a motorcyclist. When the truck slowed down to avoid hitting the cyclists, the motorcycle www.kelownacapnews.com rider, a 57-year-old West Vancouver man, collided with the truck from behind, which sent him sprawling onto the pavement. He suffered serious internal injuries and was taken to Kelowna General Hospital but is expect to recover, said police. His BMW motorcycle, however, is a write-off. The truck was not damaged and neither of its occupants were hurt. Police advise cyclists to stick to the shoulder lane of roadways whenever possible and to ride in single file, not side by side.

Waterfront venue a test for event promoter Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

This Sunday’s Deadmau5 (pronounced Deadmouse) concert is about showing Kelowna it’s possible to have high quality concerts on the waterfront without incident, according to the organizers.

Promoter Scott Emslie is bringing the Juno Award winning DJ to town for a sold out concert on the waterfront this week. Better known for starting Centre of Gravity, a waterfront sports and music festival held annually on Kelowna’s beaches, Emslie said he is hoping this show opens new doors for the

city and his company. “Basically, I’m looking for more work,” he said. Running the Centre of Gravity currently employs 10 staff for the better part of a year. The festival has an organizing committee of 16, adds 10 to 15 contractors for the actual festival and 250 volunteers.

But Emslie sees room to expand and provide more of the beach-front entertainment that has caused controversy in the past. Both Thunderfest and Wakefest, waterfront entertainment and See Waterfront A7

Global invests in HD technology for TV station Kathy Michaels CONTRIBUTOR

After a couple of rough years marred by lay-offs and continued uncertainty, the Okanagan’s very own finally got some pampering. Viewers of Global Okanagan—formerly CHBC—may have noticed the fruits of a month’s worth of labour and a year’s worth of planning during yesterday’s newscast. “It (was) the first time (we went) with the new HD technology,” said Dennis Gabelhouse, the station’s general manager. Gabelhouse said it was a lengthy installation process that followed a long wait for the technology. “There will be lots of different graphics, a larger weather map for Mike (Roberts) to work with and an exciting and engaging newscast.” A few new tricks have been added to their bag, but that won’t translate to a crystal clear image of local personalities

onto your home TV right away. An HD broadcast is still in the offing, and by the time it happens the station may no longer be a Canwest property. Shaw Cable is in the process of picking up the station, as was widely reported earlier this year. Gabelhouse said the next big step in the process should be Sept. 20. From that point, whatever changes may occur will start to become more evident over the months that follow. The CHBC purchase happened after Canwest went into creditor protection last October as a means to manage the massive amount of debt it had acquired. At that time representatives said the purchase harkened a nice change of pace for CHBC employees, who have otherwise had a tumultuous few years. They had been dealing with potential closure for the better part of a year and those who remained survived an earlier cull that saw 22 employees lose their jobs.

City’s first mountain bike skills park is now open The City of Kelowna’s first mountain bike skills park is now open. “The city collaborated with local riders and the mountain bikers of the Central Okanagan to build a park that provides something for all ages and abilities,” said city park projects manager Andrew Gibbs. The Mountain Bikers of the Central Okanagan will manage the park, provide education and training for users and maintain the bike facilities.

The club is planning an official grand opening for the park later this summer. Located on a 3.4 hectare site at 1960 Hollywood Road South, the skills park includes a pump track and six dirt jump lanes progressing from beginner to expert. Riders can access the park by bike via the Mission Creek Greenway. “We have been working closely with the mountain biking community and this type of facil-

ity was identified as a priority,” said Gibbs. The 2008 Kelowna & Area Mountain Bike Strategy, a joint project with the city, regional district and B.C. Parks will guide future development and management of mountain bike facilities in the area. The skills parks was completed at a cost of $243,000, with the help of businesses and individuals who helped with providing labour, equipment and material at reduced cost.

A story in the New Home Showcase section about the Glenvalley on Clifton townhouse project in last Sunday’s Capital News had incorrect information about a new housing project. Pat Klassen, interviewed for the story, was identified as a realtor, when in fact he is a partner with the firm behind the development, Landlinks Development Corp. Also, none of the townhome units have a slate roof, as was indicated in the story. The Glenvalley showhome, 590 Clifton Rd., is open Wednesday to Friday, 2-6 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

ken across the province, bumping up business for tourist locations that had been getting off to a relatively slow start. By Wednesday it seemed Kelowna residents and tourists alike had gotten into the swing of the season, hitting up the beaches in droves and filing in and out of downtown eateries. While fun is the name of the game in the tourist-centric city, those who will be out enjoying the amenities should keep their health top of mind, and to help meet that aim the health authority has issued its annual tips on how not to bake alive. A reminder to never leave children or pets alone in a parked car is among their list of bon mots, and they noted that temperatures in a car can rise to 50 C within 20 minutes. Keeping H2O on hand is also a

key to staying healthy in the heat, and they recommend avoiding booze, caffeine or anything with a high sugar content. Above all else, with this weekend’s temperatures, Interior Health recommends slimming down outdoor time and staying cool as can be. Symptoms of heat stress, heat exhaustion or heat stroke vary, ranging from general weakness, nausea, agitation and confusion, to headache and vomiting. Should these symptoms persist, they recommend you move to a cooler environment to rest, drink plenty of cool fluids, take a cool shower or bath and wear light weight clothing. If the situation devolves and serious symptoms arise, a trip to the ER may be in order. For more information go to www.interiorhealth.com.

Drugs seized from truck at dog park A woman went to hospital while a man faces a drug charge after 21 pounds of marijuana were found in his truck parked at Cedar Creek dog park On July 5 at 8:30 p.m., police were alerted to a suspicious couple near a pickup truck parked at the popular dog park. The female was

twitching, and appeared to be under a drug influence. Police located the 43 year old female, now unconscious, and the 39 year old male she was with at the park. The woman was taken to hospital, by ambulance, to be examined. The male, who had known the woman for only a few weeks, stated

that the two had recently shared a bottle of liquor. The man’s truck, a grey Chevrolet pickup, was searched and an opened liquor bottle was located in the driver’s door cup holder. Also found was a duffel bag, and a box, both full of processed marijuana. A safe, containing over

$65,000 was found as was an extendable steel baton and bear spray. The Blind Bay resident, who was not known to police, is facing a charge of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. He was released on a promise to appear in court in August.

‘…everyone is sort of watching this one…’ Waterfront from A1 sports festivals aimed at attracting youth and young adults, were cancelled last year—Thunderfest because the promoter pulled out and Wakefest because city tcouncil felt the festival had gotten out of hand. Emslie said he doesn’t fsee the Deadmau5 concert in the same light as those festivals, but he knows they’re going to have to prove its worth breaking into this market tfor the community to accept it. “Bascially we had a number of discussions with the city and decidked 3,500 people was the number we were comfortable with at this point,” he said. “This is really the first show like this in Kelowna. Because it’s a new show everyone is sort of watching this one—peotple at the city, the RMCP.” Kelowna Mayor Sharron Shepherd said the concert was booked rwith the city months ago and the concert promoter is paying for all of the RCMP presence. The city thas also approved a liquor license for the event. “It sounds like all the details are in place,” she said. “And the concert promoter is someone who has done other events in the city before and we’re comfortable with that.” Emslie says he would like to bring a minimum of two concerts like this one to the area each year in addition to Centre of Gravity. Concerts in City Park have seen difficulty in the past. Last year a partnership of two promoters brought Rod Stewart to town, causing a great deal of commotion and reportedly losing the promoters money in the process. “I don’t think that was the best business plan in the world,” said Emslie. “I don’t want to comment too much, but I know they lost a lot of money.” The biggest part of this show is not to make money, but to prove these types of performances can

be done well and work to everyone’s benefit. City staff confirmed Emslie’s concert was booked two months prior to the event, whereas

the Rod Stewart concert was moved to City Park last minute as the result of a mix-up over whether the concert could be held at a ranch in Joe Rich or

switched to City Park. Deadmau5 is the working name for Joel Zimmerman, who writes his own electronic music and has branded himself

with the computerized image of a mouse. For his performances he wears a pacmanesque mouse head. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Nature hikes one way to fill summer spare time

Your major source of truly local community news

s a kid, summer holidays used to mean days of going wild in the woods, exploring; leaving home in the morning on my bike and not returning until the next meal; hiking up creekbeds and balancing on the irrigation flumes high above the valley; and spending the whole day at the beach and in the water. In some ways, things have probably not changed much for most kids now that school’s out, but in other ways, there has been the inevitable evolution. With a little more time on your hands for the summer, or part of it, and a few youngsters to share it with, it’s time to think outside the box in terms of activities to entertain and educate the family. In amongst my usual tirades in this space about the way things are being managed—or not—I plan to share some ideas about what you can do with your extra time this summer, whether that’s because you’re off for two months; on holidays for part of it, or just freer be-

TRAIL MIX

Judie Steeves cause the usual activities have been suspended for the summer. So, if you have any ideas I can pass on to my other readers, please email me at the address below. To begin with, the regional district offers a series of guided hikes throughout July, Fridays at 9 a.m., with the next one beginning at the McCulloch Lake campground and rated an easy one. The next Friday, July 23, there’s a moderaterated hike in Trepanier Creek Greenway Regional Park, meeting at Trepanier Road off the Okanagan Connector. Last of the summer is July 30, meeting at Chute Lake Road for a moderate hike in Cedar Mountain Regional Park. Details are included in the parks guide on the regional district website at www.regionaldistrict.com, where you’ll also find details about other activities in regional parks. For instance, celebrate Canada Parks Day at Mission Creek Regional Park on Saturday, July 17, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Included will be cake, entertainment and nature

walks. There’s also a new exhibit at the EECO in Mission Creek Regional Park, called In the Line of Fire. It’s quite an education about the role of fire in our natural environment. That same day, the Central Okanagan Naturalists’ Club is inviting the public along on a hike into Wrinkly Face Provincial Park, as part of an effort to encourage appropriate use of this unusual natural area. Erin Gunoff, a senior B.C. Parks ranger will be along to talk about the history, geology and the park’s very special plant life. The park was protected in 2004 as a result of the Okanagan Shuswap Land and Resource Management Plan, for nonmotorized recreation activities. The High Rim Trail goes through it. I’m hoping to join the group and will share some of what we see in a future column. Meet at the Parkinson Rec Centre at 8:45 a.m. Saturday, July 17. Bring water and a lunch and be prepared with appropriate shoes and clothing. The first part of the trail, off Beaver Lake Road, is a 500 foot climb to meadows and forest of fir, cedar and spruce. Family groups are welcome.

Trail Mix from A8 sider a self-guided tour of Kelowna-area streets, and a history lesson, with the help of the Kelowna branch of the Okanagan Historical Society’s updated edition of Kelowna Street Names—Their Origins. It will be officially launched at the Okanagan Heritage Museum, Ellis and Queensway on Saturday, July 10, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. You’ll be able to relate some of the names to today’s descendants of these early settlers, who still live in the area. For instance, Hobson Road was named after William Dalgleish Hobson, who arrived here in 1891 and decided to “go into fruit” in the Benvoulin area. Later, he also purchased a quarter section on Okanagan Lake where he built a house and planted an orchard. Kelowna city councillor David and orchardist Robert Hobson are his grandsons. Cap Capozzi arrived here in about 1917 and was one of the founders of what is now Calona Vineyards, along with Guiseppe Ghezzi and (former B.C. premier) W.A.C. Bennett; and also of the Capri Hotel and shopping centre which opened in 1958. The name Capri is a combination of Capozzi and Pridham, the pioneer orcharding family who owned the land where it is located. John Lawrence Pridham arrived here from England in 1891 and planted fruit trees in the Bankhead area, exporting to the U.K., where his apples won prizes. However, it was onions and tobacco that the Rampones were known for. Luigi Rampone arrived here in 1893, and Rampone Road is named after him. Six generations of Rampones have now lived in Kelowna and they’re still farming here. Casorso Road was named after another family of Italian immigrants, sired by Giovanni, who arrived in 1883 and worked at the Pandosy Mission for Father Charles Pandosy (Pandosy Street was named after the Oblate

missionary who arrived here in 1859). The Casorsos had nine children and many descendants remain in this area. Hikers may be more familiar with McCulloch Road, named after Andrew McCulloch, chief engineer for construction of the Kettle Valley Railway, a route that is now part of the Trans Canada Trail through Myra Canyon, just east of Kelowna. And that’s just a few of the street names detailed in this terrific, fascinating history book. There must be 500 streets, all named after Kelowna pioneers, listed in this book with the street’s location and a history of the name. What an opportunity for families to learn a bit about the history of their community while taking a tour of the area—perhaps on bicycles. The street names are all in alphabetical order, complete with photos of the pioneer, courtesy of the museum’s archives, in many instances. It’s great fun and a tribute to the volunteers with the historical society who put it all together. Judie Steeves writes about outdoors issues for the Capital News. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

With government funding waning and Okanagan artists’ creativity soaring, this year’s Wearable Art Gala will be a critical event. The annual Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art fundraiser has become such a fixture on the Okanagan arts scene, this year the gallery decided to expand to the Kelowna Community Theatre to accommodate the growing crowd. The theatre can seat more than 300 people, and afterwards the stages will be transformed for an after party they’re hoping will help bolster the funds raised. “It’s very important,” said centre director Jennifer Pickering. “In terms of our budget, this is worth over half of the money we

municipality, the federal and provincial governments. But this year’s severe provincial cutbacks, which came in the form of major cuts to the B.C. Gaming grants dolled out on an annual basis, have made such events more of a bread and butter staple for organizations like the Alternator. Unless something changes, Pickering figures this one event might be worth as much as a 10th of the centre’s budget next year when the full depth of the cuts play out, meaning the gala, once thought of as a way for artists to generate money for more arts programs, will really amount to a means to keep the doors open. Wearable Art will more likely be used to pay for simple things, like rent, which is a difficult cost for a gallery to fundraise for, Pickering said. And this year’s event will be decidedly different in content as well. Last year, the show went on longer than expected with 68 artists taking to the stage in the Mary Irwin Theatre to show off the wearable, artistic cre-

ations they had conjured up for the evening. Some 58 of those performers were students, but changes to the UBCO curriculum meant the students would not assemble pieces as part of their coursework this year. Instead, the 2010 show will feature professional artists from the community and community members at large—though no one, to Pickering’s knowledge, does not have some background in arts. Arthur Schwimmer, of Design Mode Studios, will be projecting a multimedia show behind each artist as they come on stage. “It’s sort of my artistic interpretation of what they’ve given me,” he explained. Tim Fehr, of Spell Cast Productions, is also working on some imagery for the event. He’s building geometric sculptures for the after party which guests will be invited to come up and decorate. Dressed in a patent leather cop hat, worker’s neon vest and painted jeans with a Canada flag around his neck, Fehr said his outfit for the unveiling of the Wearable Art lineup was to pay homage to a government he’s not sure recognizes the importance of creativity. This year’s event include two $500 cash prizes—one for the people’s choice and one for the most outrageous piece. For more on the gala go to www.alternatorgallery.com. Tickets are $39, $25 for students, available through www.SelectYourTickets.com. Tickets for the after party are $15 or free with a WAG ticket. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Summer fun planned at Little Travellers’ Safety Village The Kelowna & District Safety Council has several children’s programs scheduled for this summer, including pedal car drop-ins, drive-in movie nights, and birthday parties for younger kids, and Babysitter’s training courses for preteens. Thousands of children ages 3 to 8 visit KDSC’s Little Travellers’ Safety Village each year as part of their school field trip program. Located on half an acre of land in Rutland, the Safety Village is a miniature village comprised of streets, traffic lights and signs, sidewalks, road markings, and crosswalks. KDSC has a fleet of 28 pedal cars that were refurbished last year, and for those who don’t want to wait until the fall before they can drive the pedal cars again, KDSC will be opening its doors to kids on Fridays from 10 to 11 a.m. for Drop-In Pedal Car fun this summer. The cst is only $3 per child. Although registration isn’t necessary for individuals, groups should pre-register by contacting KDSC in advance. Back by popular demand, KDSC will be host-

ing four special Drive ‘N Movie Nights for kids. “Every movie night filled to capacity last year, and we’re expecting them to be just as well attended again this year,” says Tania Meyer, KDSC executive director. “The movies will be set up inside theatre-style, and kids will be able to drive the pedal cars before, during, and after the movie. “Due to the various ages involved, some kids prefer to watch the entire movie and some kids like to go back and forth between the movie and the cars. “A lot of the kids even dressed up in costumes reflecting the movie’s theme.” Picnic tables are available for parents who don’t want to sit inside. The cost is $7.50 per child and includes a movie, pedal cars, and a complimentary snack and juice. No charge for adults; additional snacks and drinks can be purchased. Dates for these movie nights are July 7 (Cars), July 21 (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs), Aug. 4 (Alvin & the Chipmunks Squeakquel), and Aug. 18 (A Bug’s Life). Each event is from 6

Basic child care, nutrition, injury prevention, and basic first aid procedures will also be covered. Babysitters will also learn how to react to emergency situations, and they will learn about a variety of games, songs, and toys that are appropriate for

different age groups. A special component of the course will prepare babysitters for handling the special needs of children who are visually impaired, hearing impaired, physically disabled, speech impaired, and mentally challenged. The cost of the 10hour, two-day course is only $60, and includes a new KDSC Babysitter’s Gear Bag, a comprehensive student reference

book, and a graduation card and certificate. Classes are scheduled for July 13 and 14, and Aug. 24 and 25 in Kelowna. A West Kelowna class is scheduled for Aug. 24 and 25.

Strata councils should protect personal info of members S trata councils and managers are occasionally requested by members of the strata corporation to provide personal information about another member. In some cases, the request is for a complete contact list of all owners

and tenants in the condominium. So the question arises—is the corporation obligated to divulge this information? Divergent opinions surround the issue. Individuals requesting the information argue that they

are entitled to the information under Section 36 (1) of the Strata Property Act. The Act specifically details all of the information that a strata corporation must keep, including accurate contact information of all owners and tenants.

In addition, the legislation identifies the individuals entitled to access the information. However, the Section only guarantees access to “virtually all” of the information on file. As many condo dwellers know, the Act is often vague in its lan-

guage, leaving the door open to interpretation, with the courts often stepping in to provide clarity. Such is the case with the phrase “virtually all.” To determine if personal information about individual strata members is concerned, one has to

turn to the Personal Information Protection Act. Although generally ignored by strata corporations, PIPA is important legislation and will play a more important rule in the future for the condo community. A strata corporation

may only use personal information for the purpose for which it was collected, according to PIPA. While the “primary purposes” are spelled out, any other use of the information will be an unauthorized secondary use unless the individual has consented to its use.

If express consent is given to a strata corporation, it may disclose personal information to a third party. PIPA places a high priority on protecting privacy and releasing information only to authorized individuals. Most often, sensitive information is provided to lawyers, notaries, lenders and realtors when a condo sale is pending. The corporation also must ensure that it discloses only the minimum amount and type of information necessary to carry out those purposes. The Act explicitly states that councils understand that the personal information they are privy to is only to be used for corporation business and “not for sharing with their neighbours.” Although some individuals within the condo profession say that strata managers should generally “disclose, disclose, disclose” it is sometimes more prudent to “protect, protect, protect.” A strata corporation may receive two different types of requests for information. One is a request for personal information made under PIPA. The other is a request made for strata corporation records pursuant to SPA. There are different rules for each type of request. It is important to note that PIPA does not give an individual the right to request and receive someone else’s personal information unless that other individual provides written authorization for that access.

The goal of this model is to create By ensuring people have a censeamless and streamlined health sertral point of contact and someone who

is familiar with their medical history, we can drastically improve health outcomes and ensure patients receive consistent and appropriate care through their family doctor. Especially important for patients with more complicated health needs, family doctors and patients can coordinate a cohesive care plan ensuring needs are met, alleviating demands on emergency rooms and avoiding unnecessary hospitalizations. About 70 per cent of British Columbians who do not currently have a family doctor, do so by choice. However, we recognize that rural residents and B.C.’s most vulnerable populations, including aboriginal people living in remote areas and people living with serious mental illness, may not have access to family physicians.

The government is working closely with regional health authorities to increase doctor recruitment, particularly in rural areas. Additionally, we are expanding the number of first year undergraduate spaces for medical students and creating medical spaces at UBC Okanagan. Not only will patients benefit from these changes, but it will have a positive impact on family physicians and their practices. A Division of Practice will be introduced to provide doctors with peer supports, consultation and support from other disciplines. It is expected that physicians will have an increased work-life balance with the ability to take time off with the assurance that their patients will be cared for by other professionals in

the division. Community based health care also encourages patients to be more active in the management of their medical conditions. Through self-management programs and education, chronic health care patients are able to handle their health on their own initiative. Health care costs will continue to grow and we are committed to using every dollar to the greatest benefit of British Columbians. A move to an integrated primary and community health care system will improve patient outcome and help manage growing health care costs. Norm Letnick is the Liberal MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country.

▼ POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION

Making it easier for women to re-enter the workforce T oday, it’s normal to see women enrol and graduate from a college or university and work in high-level positions in a number of industries. Most of us take this for granted. But let’s say you need to hire someone for a job, and you get a resumé from a 40-year-old woman who has spent the last 15 years at home raising her children. She has not held a job since 1995 but holds an honours business degree. Would you hire this person over a recent graduate?

SCHOOL’S IN

Jane Muskens This is one of the biggest issues facing women, especially those who have invested in a post-secondary education. This issue forces women to ask themselves a series of difficult questions. How long should I stay at home with my children? What are the

costs to my career if I opt out of the job market for a period of time, say three to 15 years? I know many women who went to university, graduated, started to build a career and then left work to raise their children. Some women would say, lucky for them that they were able to stay home with their children —I agree. But there is a cost to staying at home and I’ve seen it happen to many women. When recent graduates go looking for a job they are most often com-

peting with other new graduates. Women who have left the job market and are trying to re-enter the work force with an older credential and no significant job experience often end up working in entry-level office positions just to get their foot-in-the-door – despite having a bachelor’s degree. They’ll take a job they might not have considered when they graduated years before. According to statistics coming out of the United States, on average, women lose 18 per cent of their earning power when they

▼ PUBLIC SURVEY

Free resources in demand at Kelowna library branch Initial figures from a recent survey on library usage in Kelowna indicate that a vast majority of the public heavily relies on accessing free resources through the Okanagan Regional Library. Some 80 per cent of respondents reported that they have an ORL card and one-third of respondents reported they visit a library branch a few times each month, according to the survey. The ORL survey is part of a revisioning project for the Kelowna library branch and was conducted in May 2010. Some 3,000 Kelowna residents were selected at random to receive the survey by mail asking for feedback on local library services in general, and service out of the downtown Kelowna branch in

particular. Fourteen per cent of the surveys were completed and returned. “We’ve noticed changes in the ways people have been using the Kelowna branch in recent years. Circulation of materials has been declining, yet program attendance is strong, so we really wanted to ask the public how they use the Kelowna branch,” explained Pam Medland, public services manager for the ORL. “We’ve received a lot of valuable feedback from the survey that will be used to ensure the services we offer at the Kelowna branch reflect the needs and expectations of library customers.” The full survey report will be shared with the public in the coming months.

Telling your story most accurately —the Capital News

take time off. This number increases to 37 per cent if their absence is greater than three years. But this issue isn’t really about money or even about staying at home, it’s about recognizing the barriers women face as they try and re-enter the workforce and realizing as a society we can’t afford to turn our backs on these workers—especially if, as taxpayers, we have invested in their post-secondary education. Barriers women face are often multifaceted. They include gender role stereotyping—employers might not recog-

nize women as suitable candidates for various positions that are typically male dominated. Along with this comes age discrimination, which makes the issue even more complicated. According to some theorists, prejudice against women in the workplace is a perfect example of non-conscious thinking—gender socialization makes it difficult for us to see women beyond their traditional role. This perception alone will impact the hiring of women as well as their ability to move up in an organization.

Why women have trouble re-entering the workplace is much more complicated than what I have been able to write here today. But one thing I know for sure, more women are graduating from university and colleges today than men, and we can’t afford to give up on these workers just because they decide to stay home and raise their children for a few years.

▼ OVER 45 SOCCER

Rutland Spirit can’t keep Ogopogos at bay The Big O Tire Ogopogos saw a close game as they exorcised the Rutland Spirit during over-45 soccer at Parkinson fields. The narrow 5-4 victory was unpredictable, as the Ogopogos surged forward on a number of early breakaways but failed to score. Rutland returned on the run and notched the first goal of the game. The Spirit followed with a second goal after a successful passing play defeated Ogopogo goal keeper Yogi Konsdorf. Ogopogo player Mark Wasylyk nailed two goals before the end of the half,

leaving the game tied 2-2 at the break. As the second half swung into action, Rutland scored off a penalty kick from outside the 18. The Ogopogos saw an equal advantage as Parm Kler put the ball into the corner of the net upon delivery of a cross from Ruben Cerventez. Big O followed with a solidifying goal as Wasylyk broke through and placed a shot in the top corner. Rob Ross added a strong shot late in the half as he sprinted into the Rutland zone, giving the Ogopogos a solid advantage at 5-3. Rutland

managed to notch a final point, but were confounded from further scoring by the quick reflexes of Kongsdorf. Baxter’s Pub met again with the Vernon HiPro Sportswear Camels with a 1-5 result. Andy Walker gave Baxter’s an early lead with a goal after a series of passes deep in the zone. Several diving saves were made by keeper Dave Rundle, but the Camels marched ahead on the result of three header goals. Okanagan Spring Brewery took Kelowna Cantina’s Pub to task

with a 4-0 win. Man of the match Chris Reeves scored three minutes in off a breakaway by Mike Lloyd. A pass from Reeves set the stage for a second goal from Denis Chabot. Two more from Okanagan Spring put the Cantinas at 3-9 for the season. Pushor Mitchell dominated Salmon Arm with six goals over a shortstaffed Shuswap team. Scores from Fritz Berenyi, J.C. Buratti, Steve Cox, Fred Castro, Rick Ito and Dave Short stacked up against a late Salmon Arm goal by Nick Wood.

▼ MENS SOCCER

Challenge sails into playoffs

Kelowna’s Baxters Bar and Grill share a grimace in preparation for an impending head-ball contact during mens 45+ soccer action Monday at Marshall Field #2.

The Okanagan Challenge men’s soccer team made their coach’s predictions come true as they waltzed into playoffs after a resounding 4-0 win over Kamloops Excel FC at the Apple Bowl on July 7. Coach Clint Schneider said the team came out well after two matches July 3 and 4. The Challenge felled Victoria United with a 2-0 victory on July 3 and disposed of the Victoria Highlanders the following day as well, also with a 2-0 win. “They’re two teams that were kind of in the same boat as we were, competing for third and fourth playoff spots.”

He noted the Challenge had the ability to bring the game home. “I think if we play well, we work hard and we’re tactically disciplined, we’ll win the game.” Success for the Challenge at this point is a matter of consistency in their method of play. Schneider said the team is performing well and reaching their peak after a season that began in May. The team is an amalgamation of small groups of players from far-flung lo-

cations. A few came from Texas, some came from Simon Fraser University and a few played youth soccer together in Kelowna. Schneider pointed out there is a large contingent of players who know each other, but haven’t played together before. The strengths of this year’s Challenge squad are the benefit of experience. Schneider said all of the players were involved in soccer at the college level. The team is athletic across the board and hard-working, with a lot of speed. “They have the mentality to put in the work that is required of them

Schneider noted the Challenge has not conceded many goals through the course of the season. He said the team is getting goal opportunities, but the players relied upon to score have not quite made it, due at times to underconfidence and other times to plain bad luck. With a resounding success against Kamloops, that luck may be changing.

An attacking run by Matt Stevens brought the ball through Surrey’s midfield, and it was delivered home by a free kick from Nolan Wallace. Close to the end of the half, Surrey notched their first go al, leaving the game tied 1-1 at the break. As the second half opened, the Selects surged on the attack. A patient defense from Kelowna provided a counterattack midway through the second half. The United squad scored with a free kick by Nolan Wallace, finished by Matt McHugh.

Dragon boaters from across B.C. in Kelowna this weekend Dragon boaters will paddle hard this weekend as the Kelowna club hosts a province-wide festival in Tugboat Bay. Club vice-president Connie Mellaart said the July 10 event will consist of 19 teams, both all

women and mixed gender. International rules specify a minimum of eight women on a mixed team. The junior team Water Gremlins and the two club senior teams will also take part in competition. The sport has grown in

popularity in the area over the past few years. The first inclusion of dragon boating two years ago in the B.C. Summer Games saw the Kelowna seniors team come back with a gold medal. “They’re just a phe-

nomenal group of paddlers.” Mellaart said the team returned for a silver medal performance the following year, and beat the Fraser Valley Grand Dragons, who have a field of 70 paddlers to choose from.

The Kelowna Dragon Boat Club formed 10 years ago with only a couple of teams, touched off by a demonstration from a Vancouver dragon boating organization. Mellaart said the club grew largely through the efforts

of founder and head coach Ivan Carothers. Now at its tenth anniversary, the club hosts 400 paddlers and is in its second season with a junior program. Mellaart pointed out the sport is one that people can take part in for a long time, and is one of the largest growing sports in North America. Saturday’s festival is an open competition, the first year it has been accessible to mixed teams. Dragon boaters will hit the water from Nelson, Osoyoos, Salmon Arm and several local clubs. Race competition begins at 9 a.m. and goes throughout the day as teams speed over the 500 metre distance. Mellaart said many people associate the sport of dragon boating with breast cancer teams. The reason for the association is that the sport does not impact the chest muscles and those attached. She pointed out that dragon boating is often recommended for survivors recovering from

breast cancer surgery due to cardiovascular demand without the strain of weight-bearing exercise. “It allows people to get physically fit and active in a healthy way.” Mellaart added that the growing popularity of the sport is due to paddlers not being expected to be athletic. She said dragon boaters need a basic level of fitness but focus on timing, reach and camaraderie on the water. “I think that brings a lot more people into it.” What Mellaart hears back from many paddlers is that the sport has given them something to look forward to. The club draws dragon boaters of all ages and from all walks of life. Mellart said a sense of community comes from coming out, sharing the hour and working towards a common goal.

Wakeboarders open season with event on Wood Lake A Lake Country wakeboarding event last weekfend was an opportunity to get out and have fun for tarea rider Carly Newell. Newell said the July 3 and 4 event was a small ttournament with close fto 30 riders, and a good opener for the season. Wakeboarders are judged in the areas of execution, composition and intensity. Composition entails a mixture of grabs, spins and moves off the three sliders in the club area in the northwest corner of Wood Lake. The sliders are a kicker, a jump and two A-frame

flat bars. Newell said riders can ride the bars like a snowboard or skateboard rail and do grabs or tricks off the bar. As the weekend was only her third time on the water this season, Newell said she just wanted to get out and do what she knew she could do. Despite not hitting a slider for a year, the Kelowna rider did a front side board slide off the obstacle and gained altitude. “I had no falls, that’s always a good thing.” The Kelowna rider came home with second in the women’s division.

Newell has been on and off the wakeboard for close to 10 years. The rider grew up as a self-confessed ‘water baby’, but a trip to Florida one summer where she saw people wakeboarding made her want to give it a try. Newell’s bungie-cord equipped first wakeboard was a far cry from her current ride. “You couldn’t pay me now to go on it, (it’s) kind of lethal.” After a couple of years fooling around, Newell upgraded her board. She still considers herself a recreational rider, only managing to get out for a

couple of months in the summer. She noted there are a few techniques that will help both recreational and competitive riders. “What’s helped me is being consistent, having a good basis of skills.” She noted if riders are able to ride switch, do 180s, go big and land clean, they can build on these foundation skills with new tricks each year. Newell has her sights set on learning the backside 360. She pointed out the

local competitions are more about fun for the summer rider, getting out on the water and meeting people. Newell is moving into the coaching end of the spectrum as she approaches NCCP Level 2. The Kelowna rider will be holding girls-only wakeboard clinics on July 12 to 16 and August 9 to 13 this summer. The clinics take off from the downtown waterfront, and are open to all ages and all abilities.

“I’m just trying to get girls stoked on the sport.” Newell noted the clinics have a lifestyle focus. They involve yoga and pilates sessions along with wake theory before spending four hours out on the water. A closing yoga class ends the clinic after riders return to dry land. She pointed out the yoga sessions help the body adjust to the activity on the water. “I think wakeboarding can be so intense for such

a short amount of time, it can be a shock to your muscles.” Newell looked to stretching as necessary if riders are wakeboarding day after day. She said she enjoys the coaching aspect of drawing new people to try out and continue in the sport. “I love getting girls to ride.” More information on the clinics can be found at www.throwitdown.com. msimmons@kelownacapnews.com

United keeper ‘Soccer Man’

U16 from A21 and three corner kicks. Through defensive play and the efforts of United t keeper Jacob Rivet, the game ended with a final score of 2-1. Rivet was elected BC Soccer Man of the Match. United head coach Sean

Wallace said the Selects were an excellent team to have risen to the top of Vancouver’s Metro League. “We told our boys that they would have to play the best game of their lives and they executed it close to perfection. They played as a team, they never gave

up. The coaching staff cannot say enough about the effort these boys gave in the final and they should be very proud of their accomplishment.” The Kelowna squad will travel to Vaughn, Ontario in October to play for the U16 national championship.

ENTERTAINMENT Doc Walker ready to make it big with video being shot in Kelowna Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

They may sing about coming home but Doc Walker decided to skip their Prairie homeland and give Kelowna a whirl for their very first live CMT video. On July 20, the group is hosting a free concert on the Island Stage at Waterfront Park where video crews will be set up to record all the action. “We’ve been looking forward to this for a long time,” said Chris Thorsteinson. “Kelowna is as beautiful as it gets.” In the 10 years they’ve been working toward this, 33-year-old Thorsteinson said they’ve always thought of themselves as a live band; maybe that’s why actually putting themselves in front of the camera, pressing a record and letting it go presents a challenge. CMT has already been in town scoping out the location and they’re working on the sets, wardrobe, lighting and everything that will ensure the show goes off as planned. “I sometimes feel kind of guilty. We get all the credit but there’s really so many people involved,” said Thorsteinson. Read anything about this trio and one of

meaning everyone got to spend a little time with the family. “For us every show is stressful,” he said. “Whether people are paying or it’s free, we want to put on a good show for the fans.” At its core, Doc Walker is a family band. The group formed when Thorsteinson and childhood friend Dave Wasyliw decided to assemble a group in Portage La Prairie to play for a family reunion. “We had a month to learn 30 or 40 country songs,” Thorsteinson said. “But we pulled it off and the next weekend we got asked to play the Legion. We made $150 each and that was it—we were sold on a life in music.” Now six albums into their career they won six Canadian Country Music Awards in 2008 and a 2009 Juno Award for Country Recording of the Year, the same category they’re currently nominated in for with Go, their latest album. The concert runs Tuesday, July 20 from the Waterfront Park Island Stage at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free and the band is hoping for millions—or as many people as the park can withstand. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

More Parisienne stereotypes busted M

y love affair with Paris— Part 2. If you would like to treat yourself to an epicurean’s delight I recommend booking a reservation at Taillevent. This elegant restaurant provides the upper crust of Paris a close to perfect dining experience. The food, the wine pairings, the room—and then there is the impeccable service. Like a ballet being conducted around you the staff at Taillevent, without airs, welcome and serve you as if you were a duke and duchess returned home for a meal. Because of the high prices, they, like many of Paris’ finest eating establishments now offer a set lunch menu so the rest of us can still enjoy their offerings. Taillevent’s threecourse lunch is 80 euros—95 euros with wine pairings, equaling about $120 Cdn each and worth every dime. (If your gent forgets to sport the required jacket they will slip one upon him in the blink of an eye—and the perfect size every time). My favourite restaurant in the world is Yves Camdeborde’s Le Comptoir. Chef Camdeborde is uber famous in Europe and can take credit for training many of Paris’s hottest young chefs. He and has wife opened their boutique hotel (Relais St. Germain which I highly recommend—we have stayed twice) with his signature restaurant below. Dinner reservations are impossible (unless

My friend Brent had the olive oil roasted salmon that he said was the best salmon he has ever had. Le Comptoir is a brasserie by day, serving simple food and drinks, and a petit-gastro restaurant by night. We also had the pleasure of attending a cooking demonstration at Le Cordon Bleu. As Julia Child fans we, along with a group of other lovestruck Americans, were first taken on a market tour with our chef/instructor, then back to the school for lunch followed by a three-course meal demonstration.

Call out to abandon tired global-or-nothing ideology Barry O’Neill CONTRIBUTOR

Every other day in the big mainstream dailies, it seems, some right wing champion of socalled public-private partnerships is given generous column inches to extol the virtues of P3s (public-private partnerships) and the global market. Earlier this year, for example, ATB Financial

economist Todd Hirsch argued that opponents of a Calgary bridge construction project that went to a Spanish bidder were needlessly “paranoid” about lost jobs and “insecure” in their failure to embrace the wisdom of the global market in awarding contracts for large public infrastructure projects. Mr. Hirsch’s argument rested on the tit-for-

tat logic of global trade— that if we give a construction project to a company in Spain we’ll end up getting an IT contract in return. This misses the point about the Bow River bridge deal and similar projects elsewhere. Mr. Hirsch and likeminded observers, in their zeal to push a global-ornothing agenda, seem unwilling to examine what

a “local first” policy really means. Consider for a moment a procurement model that includes in its decision-making process the value of a local business that may have been located in the community paying taxes in that community. Should such value not be considered a factor in the fiscal well-being of a community—not only

for the bottom line but also with regard to the environment, employment and innovation? In terms of building healthy local economies, I am sure Mr. Hirsch would agree that we’ve pretty much maxed out on our traditional reliance on revenue streams such as federal government transfers and cost development charges on property taxes. Just as I can agree that

▼ VOLUNTEER CENTRE

Nine cardinal rules of delegation “Key Concept 3” excerpted from Training Busy Staff to Succeed with Volunteers: The 55-Minute Training Series, Module 7: Delegating to Volunteers, by Betty Stallings. Understanding and practicing the cardinal rules of effective delegation enhance your chance of success. 1. You must assess work requirements with the corresponding abilities and time availability of a volunteer. Do you have the right person for the assignment? Is he/ she willing to give the time needed to get the job done? 2. Give the assignment

in terms of results. Don’t just list activities for volunteers to do; share with them what will be accomplished as a result of their work. 3. Define the level of control. Indicate how much authority the volunteer has to make decisions without “checking in.” 4. Communicate any guidelines and assess the volunteer’s understanding of them. Volunteers should be forewarned

about any constraints that must shape their decisions or activities. 5. Make resources and training available. It is important that volunteers have the assistance and resources needed. Ask volunteers what you can do to help assure their success. 6. Determine criteria for success. It is important that the supervisor and the volunteer reach an agreement on how results will

be measured. 7. Set up checkpoints. To be certain that the work is progressing, times should be established to check in on progress or on any need for change or additional support. 8. Provide feedback and recognition along the way and at the completion of a project. People appreciate knowing they are on track and are being noticed for good progress or, if needed, given additional resources to be successful. 9. Watch out for reverse delegation.

worked in the past, and they continue to prove effective in developing new revenue streams that can be nurtured over the years. The point is not to “always buy local” but to think local first: By giving the local business community the challenge of working with local consumers, the quid pro quo for their efforts will always be more customers. This is not about stopping anything; it’s about starting something new. Mr. Hirsh and other defenders of the globalist orthodoxy promoted by large corporations— the presumption that there is no alternative to unfettered global trade— would be well advised to do a rethink and take a look at what’s happening out there. For example, if he happened to read Michael Shuman’s The SmallMart Revolution: How Local Businesses are Beating the Global Competition, or checked out the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE), which represents more than 21,000 independent business members across the U.S. and Canada, he might be surprised to learn what’s actually working at the local level. He might even find that his mantra of Global, Global, Global—far from being cutting edge or the way of the future—is in fact a tired, unimaginative, inside-the-box way of thinking about the economy.

fair taxation should be the goal for all levels of government. So what are the alternatives? Let’s take a look at how our existing tax dollars go to work. Some of us believe that maximizing the multiplier effect of those tax dollars—creating more revenue from consumer spending that stays in the community—is a good thing. So is providing more opportunities for young entrepreneurs to stay in the communities where they live so that they can develop innovative new products at home, rather than joining the brain drain to bigger cities or other countries. We could create additional revenue by promoting programs that use capital stock in municipalities. We could do leakage analysis in order to find ways to slow down the number of dollars that leave the community. We could consider programs that deal with import substitution to reduce, for example, our reliance on produce that’s been flown in from another hemisphere. These ideas are not new—nor are they rocket science. (Notwithstanding the new CanadaUnited States Procurement Agreement, which threatens to open up even our water supply to U.S. markets—and that’s a whole other issue—several American states and cities have enacted procurement policies that provide either preferential options for, or discounts to, local bidders on infrastructure projects.)

Cawston next to get dug up for an upgrade As of yesterday, Cawston Avenue is closed from Cannery Lane to St. Paul Streets for construction of the Cawston Avenue multi-use corridor and timely utility upgrades. The Cawston Multiuse Corridor Project is scheduled to be completed by November 2010. Construction will be completed in phases, beginning at Cannery Lane on the north side of Cawston Avenue and ending at the connection of High Road with the Rails with Trails corridor. Construction from St. Paul to Richter is anticipated to begin in mid-July. Ethel Street to Gordon Drive is slated to begin at the beginning of August. Richter to Ethel will begin in mid-August, and the final segment along Pheasant Street to High Road will begin in the middle of September. Cawston Avenue will be open to local residents only during construction. Detours will be marked along the route and traffic personnel will be on site directing motorists. Transit route #7 Glen-

more will be re-routed to Wilson Avenue between Richter Street and Gordon Drive during construction. All transit stops on Cawston Avenue and Graham Street will be closed and riders are asked to use temporary stops located on Wilson Avenue. Service will be reinstated on Cawston Avenue upon completion of the project. The Cawston corridor will provide a safe and continuous connection from the Rails with Trails corridor to the downtown waterfront and cultural district. A $5.4-million construction contract, which includes the Cawston Avenue multi-use trail and utility upgrades as well as utility upgrades on Ethel Street, was awarded to Peters Bros. Construction. The Cawston Avenue multi-use trail, worth $3 million of the $5.4 million, was funded in part by the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund; City of Kelowna’s contribution is $1 million.

Silver Tsunami Society seeks volunteers The Silver Tsunami Society of B.C., a newly formed non-profit society is now open for business. The organization is looking to recruit volunteers to help with various venues located at Brandt’s Creek Mews, a complex care facility located in North Glenmore. The Silver Tsunami Society (STS) was recently established in British Columbia to support operations providing services for seniors and to sponsor programs and services for seniors in communi-

f your wallet feels decidedly lighter now that Canada Day has come and gone, it’s likely not because you broke the bank on cold beer, steaks for the barbecue or maple leaf T-shirts. For B.C. residents, July 1 heralded the launch of a host of new fees to pay. The mother lode, of course, is the 12-per-cent Harmonized Sales Tax, which kicked in last Thursday on a range of everyday items that were previously exempt from the seven-per-cent

Provincial Sales Tax. But the HST isn’t the only added cost forcing folks to dig deeper. For instance, in the Lower Mainland several parkand-ride lots serving the West Coast Express and SkyTrain raised their prices effective July 1. Commuters now pay $3 a day—a 50-per-cent increase from $2—to park at West Coast Express stations or at the Scott Road SkyTrain station park-andride in Surrey. Monthly rates at those sta-

MAIN SWITCHBOARD

tions also rose from $40 to $60. Want to drive to your destination and pay to park the gas guzzler instead? You’ll shell out more too because the 12-percent HST is now added on top of TransLink’s recently tripled 21per-cent tax. . And don’t forget to factor in the hike in B.C.’s carbon tax at the fuel pump, which rose 1.12 cents on Canada Day to 4.45 cents per litre. About the only thing that hasn’t gone up is B.C.’s minimum wage, which

remains stagnant at $8 an hour ($6 an hour for those new to the labour force)—the lowest rate in the country. While there seems to be no end to the justification for higher fees and taxes, B.C.’s lowest income earners haven’t had a raise in nearly a decade. If ever the provincial Liberals needed a feel-good story, it’s now. Boosting the bottom line for minimum wage earners would be a fine start.

HST has arrived, and the Earth is still turning on it axis

erhaps it’s a retinal after-image from the bright light, but there seems to be a wide, disembodied grin hanging over B.C.’s capital city today. Bill Vander Zalm has returned to his shrub farm in Delta to await deliberations over the 700,000-name petition he and his acolytes delivered amid a throng of adoring media last week. His famous smile grew wider as the cameras closed in on him to capture the hand-over of 85 boxes calling for the 12 per cent harmonized sales tax to be “extinguished” by the B.C. legislature. Elvis showed up too, along with a handful of dedicated canvassers

who clutched even more pages of signatures, hoping to beat the deadline for Elections B.C. to verify them as registered voters. Notable by their absence were NDP MLAs, many of whom signed up to bask in the reflected glow of Vander Zalm’s tax revolt. Addressing the gathering from the back of a rented truck, Vander Zalm seemed to change his tune just a bit. “Your job still is not finished yet, because the government still hasn’t said they’ll end the HST,” the former

premier told supporters. “And until they say, we’ll eliminate, we’ll end, we’ll get rid of the HST, we’re going to keep on fighting.” Tom Notice he didn’t Fletcher say when the tax must end. This appears to be a tacit admission that B.C. is stuck with the extended version of the GST, at least for the five years of the contract signed between Victoria and Ottawa. As the deadline for the anti-HST petition approached, this populist movement came under much-needed scrutiny. Former attorney gener-

VICTORIA VIEWS

al Geoff Plant weighed in with a lawyer’s view of the petition and its proposed “HST Extinguishment Act,” apparently drafted without legal assistance. It’s a “constitutional impossibility” for a province to extinguish federal law, Plant noted. But that’s not the only problem with the anti-HST petition. It also calls for the province to reinstate the provincial sales tax, which implies rehiring the 300-odd tax collectors transferred to the Canada Revenue Agency, and somehow to reimburse each B.C. resident for new taxes paid under the HST. Once we add up the cost of all that, it can be added to the $1.6 billion transition fund that B.C. would owe Ottawa.

Plant also pointed out that the HST Extinguishment Act would declare B.C.’s seven per cent PST as the “only” provincially administered sales tax. What then becomes of B.C.’s Social Services Tax Act, Hotel Room Tax Act, Motor Fuel Tax Act and Tobacco Tax Act? The smile doesn’t say. Tobacco taxes are a point to ponder. One of the few HST provisions that didn’t incite protest was the extension of the provincial portion of sales tax to tobacco products, pushing a pack of coffin nails above $10. Who knew cigarettes were exempt from PST? Well, they were, in See FletcherA21

Camp grounds in the States are cheaper, better-run facilities To the editor: Judy Steeves’ column in the Friday, July 2 Capital News, headlined: Expect Tourism Revenue Loss From Environment Ministry Budget Cuts, was right on the mark. I had to laugh at Steve Thomson’s column in the same newspaper: No Place Like Home When it Comes to Planning Vacations. He clearly has no idea what it is like to camp in the great outdoors in the sunny Okanagan. My husband and I have just returned from a five week RV holiday in the States and we have decided to boycott all campgrounds in the B.C. area. We stayed in recreational sites, national and state campgrounds and sportsman access facilities that offered amenities including washrooms with flush toilets and showers, drinking water, camp grills and dumping stations at no extra charge. Most of them had handicap facilities. Trails were well maintained and all provided camp hosts who could answer questions about the trails, locale and history of the area. All this for only $10 to $12 a night! At Grand Canyon National Park we stayed overnight at Desert View for $12 US a night. If we wanted to camp in a site that offered water and electricity we were charged anywhere from $16 to $20 a night. At some of the national and state parks, some of the sites were reserveable but the majority of the

sites in all campgrounds were on a first come, first serve basis. So, anyone and everyone had a chance of acquiring a camp site at any time. I was constantly amazed at how well maintained the campgrounds were in sportsman access sites, recreational areas, national and state campgrounds. The hosts stay right on the premises and are available to answer any questions or concerns. They do the work of the camp operators making sure fees are paid as well as keeping the facilities clean. All seemed to love their jobs and came round to check to see how everyone was doing. I was impressed with how the majority of the sites were accessible for those in wheelchairs—wide, level pathways, bright, clean washrooms with separate facilities for those with physical challenges. In addition, U.S. seniors (62 and older) get to camp half price all year. If you want to camp in a B.C. provincial campground in the summer, you have to book a site when there is still snow on the ground. There is no spontaneity allowed in the Okanagan. Most campgrounds have a reservation policy. If you want to go camping in any of the provincial campgrounds in the summer without a reservation, you have to be prepared to check in very early to stay in an “overload” area for several days before acquiring a prestigious camp site…

and that is only if the site in not reserved. Overnight camping can run anywhere from $25 to $30 a night. If you add the reservation charge, it can get pretty pricey. Plus there is a charge for using their dump station! Keep in mind, that provincial campgrounds do not offer sewer or electricity. Camp fees are collected by operators who usually have more than one campground facility to maintain—some are at great distances apart, so the likelihood of finding one when you need one is low. If you want to stay in a forestry site for about $10 a night, you face dilapidated outhouses, no drinking water, poorly maintained trails and no dumping stations. Forestry sites are definitely not handicap friendly and you are lucky if you encounter a camp operator. Seniors pay half price at the coldest times of the year from October to May. For half the price of camping in B.C., you can camp in the U.S at anytime, and get more for your money. When we talked to our southern neighbours, they said they would love to camp in our beautiful province but when they factor in the expense of fuel, food and camping costs it just isn’t worth it. They have the same beautiful scenery as well. My husband and I are inclined to agree. Tracy and George Meikle, Kelowna

Hordes keep moving to B.C. Fletcher from A20 Ontario as well as B.C. That’s presumably because B.C. has a separate tobacco tax, which it can still adjust. Some lament the passing of made-inB.C. sales tax breaks such as the one for hybrid vehicles. Dating from early in Premier Gor-

don Campbell’s climate change phase, the provincial sales tax rebate effectively provided a $2,000 subsidy to Toyota for its popular Prius. Politicians can still make these kinds of trendy gestures, but not with sales taxes. It’s been almost a year since B.C.’s HST plan was revealed, to the particular horror of those

living near Alberta. So here’s a fun fact. Over the past year, Alberta has seen an exodus of 5,000 people to other provinces, while B.C. has attracted 7,500 new residents to the HST hellhole. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Future Shop – Correction Notice

Rich newcomers building monster homes in orchards To the editor: Re: Fruit Growers’ 12 cent/lb Pitch Belies Monster Homes, letter to the editor in the June 25 Capital News which stated that monster homes being built on orchards contradicts the plight of orchardists being paid a paltry 12 cents per pound for their fruit. This is a poorly informed judgement. Many orchards are being bought by wealthy speculators and “gentleman farmers” who do not depend on this poor rate of return for their fruit as their sole income. They can afford to build large houses and hire “es-

tate managers” to run the farm. In contrast, many orchardists must have a second job or have a working spouse to help pay for the many expenses involved in growing fruit. It is a terrible thing that land in the Okanagan is worth more than the crops that are being grown on it. Before you make the poorly educated statement that all orchardists can afford large monster houses, ask a second or third generation orchardist why he or she can no longer afford to farm.

Technology would improve soccer To the editor: It is quite frustrating as a soccer fan to watch the World Cup games— not that there’s a lack of action. Quite the contrary, the game has sped up technically and physically. However, the current methods of refereeing are still in a middle-aged stalemate. I don’t believe that any referee is corrupt, but one man without eyes in the back of his head just does not cut it. Every sport has video technology and instant replay, but some FIFA individuals or groups refuse to adopt the foolproof, easy camera-replay technology available to assist in a controversial call. It reminds me of our government. Crucial laws and decisions are virtually born, changed and made secretly overnight by unknown, faceless and nameless individuals. But to implement a proper, common-

sense decision takes years of discussions, paperwork and fighting, involving long money-consuming ways. Everybody wants the instant replay decision. Players, coaches, media, fans and even the referees want this extra help. It will not replace the referee, just help the poor fellow out. It might take a few seconds to review, so play time shall be stopped officially by a time keeper who also shall stop the time for injury and player exchanges. Too many coaches are wasting time to exchange players in the last few minutes. Who is the stubborn force in the FIFA that refuses to change with the times? By applying replay technology, they could make this beautiful game more enjoyable for everyone involved! A Mattiasch, Kelowna

Canada. That is why the passage of the Balanced Refugee Reform Act on June 29, 2010, was an important milestone in improving Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s asylum system and enhancing our resettlement program. While Canada already has one of the most generous refugee systems in the world, these reforms will lead to faster protection for victims of torture and persecution, and faster removal of failed asylum claimants, including those who try to abuse Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generosity. Under the Act, failed asylum claimants will have access to a new factbased appeal at the Refugee Appeal Division. This will save taxpayers an estimated $1.8 billion over five years because failed claimants will no longer be able to stay in Canada for years. Under the new system, waves of false asylum claims coming from safe, democratic countries as well as those determined as â&#x20AC;&#x153;manifestly unfoundedâ&#x20AC;? by the Immigration and Refugee Board will be fast-tracked. Failed claimants will be subject to removal from Canada in a matter of months, which will be a key tool in protecting the integrity of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immigration and refugee

Ron Cannan systems. Not only will the new system work better for those who legitimately need our help, it means more resources are available to assist in the resettlement of refugees from abroad. The government is also hopeful that a stronger, more effective asylum system will motivate local organizations to sponsor refugees as Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney has put out a call for action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Throughout the summer, I will be asking groups within Canadian civil society, such as faithbased organizations, to redouble their efforts to help provide new homes for refugees who are victims of torture, ethnic cleansing and persecution,â&#x20AC;? Kenney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will also be increasing assistance for government-assisted ref-

ugees through a 20 per cent increase to the Resettlement Assistance Program, and we are providing more resources to increase the capacity of Sponsorship Agreement Holders who do such good work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I believe that civil society can do more, just as the government is.â&#x20AC;? Local organizations here in the Okanagan have made great efforts in the past to help refugees settle safely in Canada, and I know they will be up to the challenge set by the minister. Certainly, such organizations can move forward confidently knowing that the changes to the system will improve the amount of time it takes for legitimate refugees to come to Canada. The Balanced Refugee Reform Act has been a long time coming and I wish to recognize the outstanding efforts of not only Kenney but also those in the Opposition who put partisan politics aside and worked to improve the refugee system in Canada. In a Parliament so often characterized by acrimony, the Balanced Refugee Reform Act was an outstanding example of Parliament operating at its best. It was a collaborative

effort by all parties, which led to the acceptance of a series of amendments and all-party support in both the House of Commons and the Senate. This new legislation supports the underlying principles of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s asylum systemâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;ensuring fairness, protecting genuine refugees and upholding Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s humanitarian tradition. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ One last bit of news before I sign offâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;on Wednesday, July 14, my colleague federal Labour Minister Lisa Raitt will be in town for breakfast at the Manteo Resort, 7:30 a.m., hosted by the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce.

All seasons, all reasons– 2011 E-Class Cabriolet Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR

GATINEAU, P.Q.— The 2011 Mercedes-Benz can be summed up as four seasons, one cabriolet. It helps make the EClass one of the most diverse model lineups on the market today. From sedans, coupes, wagons and now a convertible, it offers rear- or allwheel-drive, a bevy of engines including a BlueTec diesel, engineering second to none and safety advances that constantly raise the bar. The 2011 MercedesBenz E-Class Cabriolet is available in two models. The E350 that starts at $67,900 and the E550 that

starts at $77,500. The former is powered by a 3.5-litre DOHC V6 rated at 268 hp and 258 lb/ ft of torque. The latter has a 5.5-litre DOHC V8 producing 382 hp and 381 lb/ft of torque. Drive is to the rear through the silky smooth seven-speed 7GTronic automatic transmission. All-wheel-drive is not available. The E350 goes from 0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds and the E550 in 5.3 seconds. Both are speed limited to 250 km/h. Fuel consumption for the E350 Cabriolet is rated at 12.3/7.9L/100 km city/highway and 14.3/9.0L/100 km for the E550 Cabriolet. By far the most inter-

THE WIDE SELECTION of Mercedes-Benz E-Class vehicles has been expanded with the addition of the E350 (shown) and E550 Cabriolets. The AIRCAP option includes a slate at the front of the windshield that opens out and deflects wind over both the front and back seats. esting feature of the 2011 E-Cab is AIRCAP which is part of the Premium Package on both models. Using a slat that extends forward from the top of the front windshield, air is forced through a mesh net between the bottom edge of the spoiler and top edge

of the windshield. The mesh kicks up the flow of air up and over both front and rear seat passengers so there is supposed to be no wind buffeting. The slat is deployed by tiny electric motors that are based on the ones dentists use in their drills be-

cause they were the only motors small enough to fit. There is also a retractable wind block between the rear headrests. Both AIRCAP and the blocker are powered and controlled by a button. The blocker can be retracted

fully, half retracted and fully lowered. Unlike most blockers, it does not need to be removed and stowed in the trunk when not in use because it all fits behind the rear seat. In real life the system works best with the blocker and all four windows

up. Here, there is some tussling of your hair but not much. With the windows down, however, it was a different thing. I think the AIRCAP does its thing so well it creates a slight See M-B E-Class B2

Ford/Lincoln Employee Pricing (“Employee Pricing”) is only in effect from July 1, 2010 to August 31, 2010 (the “Program Period”) and refers to A-Plan pricing ordinarily available to Ford/Lincoln employees and excludes any CAW negotiated bonuses or other special incentives that employees may receive from time to time. Employee Pricing is available on the purchase or lease of most new 2010 and 2011 Ford and Lincoln vehicles (excluding 2010/2011 Mustang Shelby GT 500, F-150 Raptor, F-Series Chassis Cabs, E-Series Cutaways and Stripped Chassis, F-650/F-750). The new vehicle must be delivered or factory ordered from your participating Ford Dealer during the Program Period. This offer can be used in conjunction with most retail consumer offers made available by Ford of Canada at either the time of factory order or delivery, but not both. Employee Pricing is raincheckable. Employee Pricing is combinable with the Commercial Connection Program but not combinable with CPA, GPC, CFIP, Daily Rental Allowance, A/X/Z/D/F-Plan and A/Z-Plan Loyalty program incentives.

I was testing this car on June 23 at the very moment a 5.5 earthquake hit with the epicenter north of Ottawa and about 60 km away from where I was. People as far way as Ohio claim to have felt it.

The four shock absorbers are constantly adjusted from soft to firm depending on surface conditions and driver inputs. An integral valve adjusts rebound pressure under low impact shocks but also acts as a normal shock absorber when forces become more severe. Couple this with a suspension that quells dive at the front and squat at the rear and you have a very stable platform. This can be enhanced by the ≥Sport≤ button that changes the handling char-

moving about at 80 km/h the whole time. When I arrived at a coffee stop in Perth, Ont., I thought everyone was having a joke on me because that was all they could talk about. Like the all E-Class models, the Cabriolet abounds with technological advances. One I love from the coupe and sedan, and a standard feature, is the new Attention Assist drowsiness monitor that keeps an electronic eye on the driver and warns him/her by a series of visual and optical warnings when itπs time to take a break. Another is Adaptive Highbeam Assist that uses a camera molded into the windshield that ≥sees≤ the headlights of oncoming vehicles and adjusts between low and high beam accordingly. The interior is what you expect from a Mercedes-Benz premium car with the finest leathers and woods all fitted so precisely that it would be hard to run a scalpel between them. Mercedes is very proud of the look of its new seats that would not be out of place as furniture in a custom decorated home. The front seats have the latest version of AirScarf. Each headrest has two vents at the base which blow heated air (if required) at the nape of the neck to take away the chill. There are three temperature settings. After its initial mindnumbing complexity when it first appeared inside Mercedesπ cabins, the Comand infotainment system is now easier to

use. Not intuitive mind you, but better. Both engines define smooth running. Standing beside each at idle, you can faintly hear them. Open them out and you get the basso rumble so peculiar to V8s, but it is extensively muffled. These are not sports cars, but they can and will mix it up with the best of them thanks to superb engines and drivetrains and

BMW F800GS– the Swiss Army knife of motorcycles

THE NEW BMW F800GS is a lightweight answer to almost any riding need, with a strong parallel twin 798 cc engine, ABS braking, fuel storage under the seat for a low centre of gravity and a long list of available add-ons for adventure touring. The 2010 BMW F800GS lists for $12,530.

Have you ever felt like you’re on the right bike? But in the wrong place? I should have been out there, somewhere. Crossing ground at speed under the sun. Banging along some Bengali back road or pulling a mile-long dust trail across the Mongolian steppes. Or, at the very least, I should have been pointed north, crunching gravel enroute to, oh, Dawson City, or Chicken, Alaska. Instead, I was stuck in the strip mall landscape of Anywhere, Canada, riding a brand new BMW F800GS, on the way to work past a seemingly endless and usual suburban parade of car dealers, rug merchants and burger joints. The bike didn’t seem to mind. I was on a stripped-down tester, riding without the traveling side cases and gear of my fantasies and, despite my whining, the F800GS seemed happy enough to drone along, even in this suburban setting. The F800GS is the

Swiss Army knife of motorcycles, shaped like an enduro with tall, trail-riding architecture and good ground clearance, but it is equally capable in almost any riding situation, highway, byway, city streets, on-road, off-road, gravel road, no road. This latest version boasts a brash engine mated to a six-speed gearbox, a lightweight design, 16 litres of fuel stored under the seat for a low centre of gravity, switchable on-and-off ABS and an almost plush ride due to the long travel of the adjustable suspension. And then there’s the usual list of accessories to ease the long haul. It is a lighter, tighter and cheaper choice for anyone considering the R1200GS. BMW says the F800GS is “the most offroad oriented GS ever built,” which you will discover when you throw a leg over. Or try to. It’s a long reach to the ground for less-than-tall riders who might immediSee BMW B5

boots. Once you’re sitting, however, the enduro-style seat isn’t too bad. The knees don’t come up too high despite the ground clearance and the riding

BMW from B5 vidual signal system, with one signal switch on either grip. That’s neither good nor bad. It just depends on what you’re used to. Personally, I don’t like working the right turn signal and cancellation switch with my throttle hand, especially with a responsive, almost twitchy engine like this one. And even BMW has recognized that ergonomic reality. So the next generation bike, moving towards brand universality, will adopt the Japanese-style single switch on the left grip as God intended. Now, that responsive engine that I mentioned is an 85 hp Rotax-built parallel twin that bursts forth

with a nasal honk and mucho gusto, accelerating up to 80 kph plus before redline in first gear. Your local highway cop could be reaching for the light bar switch before you top out of second gear. Off-road, the engine response might be almost too immediate for trail riding but better riders than me will probably manage just fine. I only played in the gravel and mud wallows long enough to scare myself on the as-tested set of street-biased tires. Highway fuel economy is officially rated at 5.2L/100km. My combined average was even better. The fuel tank icon started flashing after 250 km and I added 12.5 litres to the 16-litre tank. So the

tank range should average over 300 km. Of course, that depends on how much time you spend going off-road, whether it’s low and slow or trail blasting. Then you’d be better off measuring smiles per gallon or how-many-times-Idoggone-near-fell-off per litre. If, like me, you tend more towards staying on the road, but still like the style of the bike, I would suggest one of BMW’s newest entries, the F800R, carrying the same styling DNA but tweaked for urban riding and, inexplicably, listing for about 20 per cent less than the GS at $9,990. Of course, it is nice to have the open-ended pos-

Kia opens doors to reveal whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in its future Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR

SEOUL, Koreaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not every day you can say you were the first person in Canada to drive a new car but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the case with the Kia Cadenza, Optima and Sportage. In fact these three vehicles were among a tnumber of firsts for Kia. rIt was the first time Canadian journalists have ever visited the sprawling Kia/ Hyundai research and development centre in Namyang or its main Hwasung production plant. The same held true for a visit to Kiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head offices in Seoul and, as far as I know, we were the first journalists to witness an actual crash test in its specially constructed safety centre. But perhaps the most interesting thing of all was the refreshing openness of senior executive to probing questions. Normally tight-lipped on any subject, a Q and A session showed there is a new attitude at Kia that goes far beyond the newfound good looks of its products. At Namyang we got to drive, albeit very briefly, the new Sportage CUV, the Optima mid-size sedan, the Cadenza luxury sedan and the highly interesting Forte LPi sedan. The Sportage will be on sale in late June, the Optima in early 2011 probably as a 2012 model and Cadenza in late spring or early summer of 2011 and also sold as a 2012. I was literally the first

Canadian to drive the Cadenza. It is more than Kiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first entry into the luxury field but the harbinger of Kiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to move the brand away from selling â&#x20AC;&#x153;cheap and cheerfulâ&#x20AC;? basic cars. This change in thinking was spelled out at the Q and A session by Tae-Hyun (Thomas) Oh, Executive Vice-President, America Operations, International Business Division. He said Kia has come to the point where its engineering, quality, and now, styling had established the brand internationally and, thus, the only way to grow is to step up to the plate with product that is as good as anything on the market. At the Namyang proving ground, I noticed most of the comparison vehicles on hand were Audi, Mercedes-Benz and BMW, even a MINI. I saw one Honda Fit and one Toyota Camry which I think was a hybrid. The Cadenza can be called a near-luxury sedan and would probably be pitted against Acura TL, Cadillac CTS and Audi A4. Akin to the Hyundai Azura, the Cadenza is fitted with a 3.5-litre V6 version of the 3.8-Litre V6 in the Azera. In this form the engine produces 286 hp and 250 through a standard six-speed transmission. Looking vaguely Mercedes-ish, the Cadenza has been given the new See Kia B10

KIA MADE four of its newest cars available to Canadian journalists at its huge research and development centre in Namyang, Korea. They are, from left: Sportage CUV which was due here in late June; Forte LPi not being imported; Cadenza near-luxury sedan coming in 2011 as a 2012; and the Optima that replaces the current Magentis and coming in early 2011 as a 2012.

INCREDIBLY TINY, but with ample room for two passengers, the 2010 smart fortwo coupe offers superb fuel economy, good maneuverability and the ability to park where other vehicles can’t. During my recent road test, this tiny two-seater probably received more smiles, nods and double takes than any high-end sportscar or convertible I’ve had the privilege to bring home. I had the impression, however, that some of this attention was a little less envy and more along the lines of “you’ve got to be kidding,” or on the highway, “better you than me

bro!” That aside, if you want to get noticed, the smart does the trick, and for a relatively low starting price of $14,990. Of course, that buys a pretty basic car. At this “pure” trim level, you get such features as power windows and locks, multifunction display and AM/FM/CD audio system with auxiliary input, but air con-

ditioning, alloy wheels, Bluetooth and heated seats are extra. Still, you get a pretty decent list of safety items that include anti-lock brakes with electronic brake force distribution and hydraulic brake assist, electronic stability program and four airbags. Driver and passenger are enclosed in what the company calls its “tridion” safety cell, which is

made from strategically reinforced, high-strength steel with side and transverse members that distribute energy from an impact over a larger area. Another protective feature is the wheels. With such a short wheelbase and almost non-existent front and rear overhangs, the wheels, suspension and side members take See smart B9

Helping teen drivers stay safe on the road KATE WELLS Car crashes are the No. 1 killer of teenagers. Each year teens are injured or killed in predictable and preventable crashes, especially this time of year. To help protect new drivers, B.C. has graduated licensing. Some of these restrictions include: In the “L” stage: • No cell phones or handheld devices. This includes hands-free as well. • Drivers must have a qualiﬁed supervisor who is at least 25 years or older and has a valid driver’s licence. This co-driver must sit beside the teen in the front passenger seat. • Drivers may carry a maximum of two passengers, one being the co-driver. • Drivers can only drive between the hours of 5 a.m. and midnight.

Full Driving Course: July 20th - 6 Summer Mornings July 29th - Thursday Evenings

A learner’s permit or “L” licence is good for two years. A new driver may attempt an ICBC road test after one year. ICBC strongly recommends at least 60 hours of driving during this time and the parent or guardian who signed for the learner’s permit should also agree to ensure their new driver receives those 60 hours of experience. As an owner of a driving school, we see it all the time: people are not getting the experience they should and wanting to attempt their road test with ICBC when they are not ready. Experience is EVERYTHING when it comes to safe driving for new drivers. The more driving hours recorded, the safer the driver. After the ﬁrst road test is passed, a new driver receives a green “N,” with its own set of restrictions. In the “N” stage: • Again, no hand-held or hands-free cellphones or

portable electronic devices while driving. • MUST display the “N” sign • ZERO blood alcohol content • Passenger restriction – limited to one passenger unless you’re driving a passenger vehicle and have a supervisor 25 years or older with a valid licence. You may also drive immediate family members. After the driver has an “N” licence, a second ICBC road test can be taken after 24 months. This qualiﬁes the driver for a full-privilege, class 5 licence. Many new drivers are taking ICBC-approved driving courses and this will reduce the 24 months to 18 months. It will also give them two credits toward their high school graduation. Even though these restrictions are in place for new drivers, family driving contracts can also be a good idea. Download one at www.icbc.com

smart fortwo still turns heads The five-speed automatic, if left to its own devices, pauses noticeably between shifts. If pressed hard, the nose dips with every gear change, causing a rocking motion as you climb through gears. Fortunately, this transmission can also be shifted manually, either by the console-mounted shifter, or optional steering-wheel paddles. The experience is light years from Mercedesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 7G-TRONIC, but a vast improvement over the smartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fully automatic

mode. While there are some challenges in owning a smart, there are several big advantages. One of these is fuel economy. The smart is rated at 5.9/4.8 litres/100 km (city/highway), which is a bit better than the 6.3 litres/100 km (combined) I achieved. I was, however, making ample use of the paddle shifters, and not driving with maximum fuel economy in mind. And then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parking. www.thesmart.ca

much of the brunt during a collision. And because the safety cell places the passengers somewhat above the direct danger zone during a side impact, the company claims the smart offers better protection than most small cars. So I climbed in for the first time, realizing my feet were just behind the front bumper and my butt a short distance from the rear license plate, and prayed silently that the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four star Euro NCAP rating and the fact it exceeds all US crash regulation requirements will keep me from becoming a hood ornament on a speeding tractor trailer. My tester for the week, based on the upgraded â&#x20AC;&#x153;passionâ&#x20AC;? coupe, was the smart fortwo â&#x20AC;&#x153;edition highstyleâ&#x20AC;? in a trendy shade of chocolate brown. The passion trim level includes such standard features as 15-inch alloy wheels, leather wrapped steering wheel and shifter knob, folding armrest, and much-needed air conditioning, with the added benefit of automatic temperature control. t You also get a fixed panoramic roof, with sunshade. This feature sounds like a good idea, but in reality, the massive sheet of polycarbonate can turn the cabin into a toaster oven. On sunny days, I had to keep the A/C running full tiltâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with the sunshade drawn. I prefer a smaller sunroof that opens, but this feature was dropped with the debut of the smart cabriolet. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;highstyleâ&#x20AC;? package, a $3,200 premium over the passionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $18,250 MRSP, adds seat heating, steering wheel paddle shifters, fog lamps, dashmounted clock and tach, upgraded 12 spoke 15â&#x20AC;? alloys and the chocolate brown body panels. The passenger cabin, in a nice mix of fabric and leather, is surprisingly roomy. Sure, the smart is a narrow vehicle, and from the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side, you can reach over and open the passenger door, but that aside, it feels anything but claustrophobic. And because of this roominess and commanding view of the road, you quickly forget about the smartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diminutive size. This car definitely seems more vulnerable from the outside than it does from within. That is, until you get

hit by a blast of wind. Cruising along one of our superhighways, I was starting to get comfortable at typical highway speeds. Sure, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of wind and road noise inside the cabin, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced worse in other subcompacts. Then I noticed some debris up front, gusting across the highway andâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; whamâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the smart was nearly blown sideways. Good thing I had both hands on the wheel. Sure, the smart cuts the wind reasonably well from the front, but this tall, narrow box with tiny wheelbase felt vulnerable to crosswinds, and with a curb weight of only 820 kg (about 300 kg less than a Honda Fitâ&#x20AC;? I shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been surprised at the buffeting. But for zipping around town, the smart is in its element. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say the naturally aspirated, 1.0-litre, inline three-cylinder engine is a powerhouse, but it does deliver a reasonable 70 hp and 68 lb/ft of torque, which is more than enough to drive confidently in traffic, and even do some passing. Mercedes-Benz estimates its zero to 100 km/h acceleration to be 13.3 seconds, and I thought it felt a bit quicker. Still, this is a vast improvement over the smartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous generationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with 40 hp, 800 cc dieselâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that crawled to 100 clicks in just under 20 seconds. Shifting, on the other hand, is ponderous.

Forte LPi could be cleanest hybrid on Earth Kia from B7

CONTRIBUTED

THE AUTHOR with the Kia Forte LPi which is probably the cleanest running hybrid on the planet with leading-edge lithium-ion polymer battery, start/stop engine, regenerative braking, an engine that runs on propane and a very brisk 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 11.7 seconds.

Kia look, but with a difference. There’s no doubt Kia’s chief design officer, Peter Schreyer, has changed the face of Kia but the Cadenza does not have Schreyer’s bold character lines, but instead goes for a more formal look. Despite this, the Cadenza has a very low 0.29 co-efficient of drag. The Optima is Schreyer’s best looking car yet. Based on the Hyundai Sonata, the Optima visually illustrates the divergence between Hyundai and Kia products with Kia migrating toward the youthful lifestyle demographic. Designed to replace

the current Magentis, the Optima will actually be a family of cars with three engine choices: a fourcylinder 2.4-litre gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine with 200 hp, a fourcylinder 2.0-litre GDI turbocharged engine with 274 hp and a 2.4-litre hybrid using Hyundai/Kia’s proprietary lithium polymer battery. There will be a choice of a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic with Sportmatic sequential manual shift mode. It’s on the inside of the Optima where one sees the difference between the old and new Kia. The double stitched leather seats with heating and cooling or car-

more real estate results With the

bon fibre and metal trim inserts are just the start. The topline models feature 5.1 surround sound audio, voice-activated navigation, heated steering wheel and, get ready, heated rear seats. Even the mid-trim EX model is equipped with the UVO infotainment system that was developed in cooperation with Microsoft. Having driven a 2010 Magentis just a few weeks before, I can tell you the Optima is a huge improvement. If Kia can keep pricing competitive, and I’m sure they will, Optima could be the same kind of breakthrough vehicle that the Sportage was in 2003. Like that first Sportage, the 2011 version stands out with the new Kia family design. There won’t be a V6, but a choice of the 2.4-cylinder GDI engine or, later, the 2.0-litre turbo as well as the same two transmissions as the Optima. The new Sportage is 60 mm lower than the outgoing model. Ride height is 20 mm lower and the windshield has been moved back a full 60 mm to give a visually more flowing, athletic look. Like the Optima, the Sportage will be available with the Microsoft UVO infotainment system that, among other things, lets driver and passengers answer and place phone calls, text messages and access music from a choice of media download sources so they can

create and play their own playlists on the go. The car that interested me the most, but we won’t be getting, vwas the Forte LPi that is currently on sale in Korea. It has to be the cleanest hybrid on the planet and could remain so for many years. It starts with a standard Forte sedan but with a 1.6-litre four-cylinder optimized to run on propane. This is connected to a lithium-ion polymer hybrid battery pack with electric motor. Propane filling stations are as common as gas stations here in Canada. Propane burns clean so there are practically no emissions. With start-stop and regenerative braking the LPi is not just the darling of the taxi fleets but also everyday commuters where traffic edging along for miles is common. Propane also sells there for less than half of gasoline in Korea. As far as performance, the LPi was probably the fastest thing I drove at the Namyang proving grounds with a 0-100 km/h time of 11.7 seconds One thing Canada has is an abundance of propane. I couldn’t help but think that all that would be needed in Canada is the infrastructure and the will to bring this technology here. And that’s just the beginning. Kia has an aggressive lineup of new models still in the pipeline that will keep coming until 2013.
