High water impacts fish habitat

Plaque request troubling for some trustees

Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

The normally-placid trickle of Mission Creek has been replaced this week by a roiling muddylooking cauldron of frothy water topped by bobbing debris, and it spreads from near the top of one bank to the other.

Within that boiling rush of melted snow in the channelized river’s flow are not only fine sediments, but also gravel and even rocks that have been picked up along its way down from high up in the watershed, to be deposited wherever the flow slows momentarily, or when it’s dumped into Okanagan Lake.

Hydrologist Don Dobson, senior water engineer with Urban Systems in Kelowna has spent his career getting to know the Okanagan Basin, and he warns there’s still a record amount of wet snow high in the Mission Creek watershed for this time of year.

It’s melting and running off this week at a great rate, but if the rain that’s forecast for the next few days falls on that melting snow, it could cause problems along Mission Creek, he advises.

Normally at this time of year, most of the snow has already melted and there’s just a small amount, if any, remaining to come down to the valley bottom, but this year spring is late and that snow hasn’t melted yet.

Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Sustained high flows in streams can cause increased bank erosion and failure of banks as high water levels and powerful flows saturate the riparian area and trees are sucked into the creek.

While that can be a good thing as such obstructions provide habitat for fish, they can also block the channel and cause the formation of new off-channels, carrying water in different directions than normal.

Higher water levels move a lot of sediment and gravel from one part of the waterway to others, which can be a good thing for fish habitat—and a

Despite an audience full of dissenting parents on Wednesday evening and a dozen letters to the contrary, Central Okanagan school trustees opted to suspend their corporate naming policy and put up a plaque acknowledging the Kelowna Rotary Club’s contribution to a school project.

The service club had told the school district it would not give them a $50,000 donation toward a $300,000 building for teen moms unless the club could have a plaque recognizing its contribution.

The school district has a policy explicitly banning corporate sponsors from such advertising and branding privileges, which the service club was made aware of, but the Rotarians refused to back down.

“Suspending our policy is showing our children we can be bought and so can they,” trustee Anna HuntBinkley said as she tried to persuade fellow trustees not to accept the donation.

Hunt-Binkley argued the club is as much a business networking organization as it is a philanthropic one and that it effectively acts as a professional fundraising organization.

It offers businesses a very good means of establishing their names in the community, she said, while noting that schools are sanctuaries of learning where the school district’s policy had already decided corporate branding does not have a place.

At a previous meeting, she told the board of education there are also various values attached to service clubs which the board might not agree with, like alliances with Christianity or men-only requirements.

“To have one service club out of many which have supported this district over the years acknowledged because they have $50,000 dangling in front of our heads is not acceptable,” she said.

Hunt-Binkley was joined by trustees Jeff Watson and Moyra Baxter, who both stated they would prefer to see the policy—in place for roughly a dozen years—reviewed. In a final vote, however, they were outvoted by a 4-3 count in favour of the plaque request.

NEWS â–ź CHARETTE

Seeking a shared vision for downtown’s future Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Scroll back just over a decade to when Kelowna’s last downtown plan was pieced together, and the small city was on the precipice of big changes.

Single family houses and strip malls dominated a landscape that still reflected its agricultural roots, while the downtown’s Delta Grand Hotel, along with its two neighbouring towers, offered the first signs of investment in a previously development-free area.

While the soon-to-be retired road map that accompanied city planners through those years achieved many of its goals, boom times vastly changed the needs and landscape of the area, making a fresh take all the more necessary. “Now we need a new downtown plan, with policy and infrastructure planning,� said Mayor Sharon Shepherd as she opened a Tuesday evening design session that called for the public’s input. “There’s no shortage of ideas or issues, the challenging part is coming up with a shared vision.�

For two nights straight, even during a much lamented Stanley Cup game, around 40 Kelowna residents chosen to take part in a charette process did what they could to meet that mandate.

In tables of eight they hashed out conflicting visions. “From the get go, people were throwing out words, putting together a word bank and then they started working on a map of the downtown—it looked like real fun,� said Nick Desert of Begrand Fast Design Inc. on Lawrence Avenue.

Desert headed to the charette to watch the teams work, and despite not being able to participate, he liked that many involved were making suggestions they thought would create activity in the city’s core—something he, like everyone else, had a few ideas about. “I’m very opinionated on this matter,� said the former Londoner. “I think we can have something more like Gas-

town here. We can have high rises that have character, and then set them further back from the lake.�

Ideally, he said, the buildings could be terraced, with a height of no more than three or four storeys at the lakefront.

Then, as they move out, buildings could go higher.

Results of the charette process won’t be made clear until a Saturday open house, but the city’s project manager, Andrew Gibbs, said there were four clear objectives. “One, maintaining focus on the waterfront,� he said. “People want more activity on the waterfront.�

They also expressed concern about the entry point to the downtown, from Harvey Avenue, so ideas on how to deviate traffic from the highway into the city’s core were offered. “Third is in the pedestrian realm,� said Gibbs. “They want to bring more pedestrian circulation and access to the downtown.�

In that case, the suggestion had to do with breaking up some of the long blocks, that don’t necessarily lead to leisurely strolls in the downtown. “The idea was to penetrate those long blocks with walking corridors,� said Gibbs.

As well, Gibbs said building heights were discussed. “That was not resolved, but everyone wants more people downtown, which means more people living downtown as well,� he said. “(They discussed) increased density and height, and where and how to do that.�

Consensus was to step back from the lake, with height, and to protect Bernard Avenue.

To get a full rundown of the charette, an open house will take place at Kerry Park on Saturday, June 11, from 3 to 7 p.m. Residents are invited to drop by and comment on the plan before it is presented to council on Monday, June 27.

Residents can share their vision and see what others are saying by visiting the city’s blog, or subscribing to e-updates at kelowna.ca/mydowntown.

Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick has been handed the job of trying to figure out what is ailing the health care system in B.C.

CELEBRATING their graduation at UBCO’s convocation ceremony on Thursday were (from left) Jemma Bate, Mark Bechtel and Haley Blackall.

▼ UBCO GRADUATION

Bennett’s given honourary degree for education support Brad Bennett can ad honorary doctorate to his list of accolades.

In addition to the Order of British Columbia, the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal and the Honourary Alumni Award bestowed on him by UBCO in 2010, he can now add a Doctor of Laws honoris causa from UBCO, as announced during this week’s graduation ceremonies.

“W.J. Brad Bennett has a long and distinguished record of community service in the Okanagan and leadership in higher education in British Columbia,” said the university in statements released Thursday.

Bennett served as board chairman for five years on the UBC Board of Governors and helped shape the creation of the second campus.

As with every convocation at the young campus, there were many records broken and many firsts including a record number of ceremonies—five to accommodate the 1,174 graduates. The

ceremonies included the first doctorate earned entirely on the UBCO campus by biologist Max Jones.

Jones’s main area of research focused on evaluating the diversity among different types of breadfruit, a high-yielding staple food crop that grows in wet tropics.

“As food prices and world hunger continue to rise, there is an increasing global need for production of nutritious staple foods such as breadfruit,” he said.

Jones is joined on that podium of first-evers by the entire human kinetics graduating class.

Started in 2007, the first class had 49 students, though more than 160 were admitted last year indicating the rapid growth of the program.

Known for attracting grad students, the university will turn out 91 masterslevel students, including 16 in arts, 15 in applied science, 31 in education, three in fine arts, 10 in science, two in nursing and 14 in social work.

Exploring health care options Letnick from A3 support. As for a timeframe for the committee’s work, Letnick said that will be developed by the committee when it starts meeting later this month.

But he said his priority is to take as long as needed.

“If that means a few months more, then so be it,” said Letnick.

The 10-member committee’s vice-chairman is expected to be NDP health critic Mike Farnworth and it will include former Liberal finance and health minister Colin Hansen

and two Liberal MLAs who are medical doctors, Moira Stillwell and Margaret MacDiarmid.

Included in the mandate for the committee will be what Letnick called a high-level look at the challenge of providing health care to B.C. over the next 25 years including the supply of doctors and nurses, the infrastructure that exists and that will be needed and the current and future demands on the system by those who will need to use it.

Factored into that is an aging population that is

now seeing the first wave of baby boomers, people born after the Second World War and up to the early 1960s. The first wave are now turning 65.

Health care is one of the biggest items in the provincial budget and next year will account for 42 per cent of B.C.’s $42 billion budget.

And that does not take into account spending by other related programs that are not part of the health ministry, said the local MLA. “This is a huge thing for this province,” he said. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

NEWS ▼ MISSION CREEK

▼ KELOWNA

Some drop seen State of emergency response to flooding in water level bad thing.

While the rush of water can clean spawning gravels of old sediments which can smother fish eggs, it can also move spawning beds into new areas, resulting in both losses and gains in habitat for spawning fish.

That movement of gravel can also cause flooding problems in the future if gravel is moved downstream and deposited in the channel, reducing the channel’s capacity for carrying water during runoff each spring, he explained.

An additional concern is that Mission Creek is a source of natural landslides in its upper watershed from the 1960s and 1970s.

Gravel from those landslides uses the creek like a conveyor belt, carrying it down to the lower reaches and raising the bed of the channel in builtup areas of the city.

Flows and water levels in Mission Creek peaked Wednesday and had dropped slightly Thursday, so Dobson was hopeful that continued high flows that did not top the dyke would move a lot of the water out of the watershed without serious incidents.

Okanagan Lake is only about eight centimetres below full pool, despite efforts to release more water downstream this spring to accommodate runoff from a deeperthan-normal snowpack in the basin. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

other creek at this time of year,” said deputy fire chief Jason Brolund, of the tributary that had water rushing by at a rate of 50 cubic meters per second Thursday, pushing along with it tonnes of debris.

“The water is too high, too fast and too full of debris for anyone to safely be in the water.”

Warnings will continue to be issued, and crews will continue to grapple with the environmental and safety concerns associated with high water levels but, as various groups explained Wednesday, it wasn’t an unexpected turn of events.

Joe Creron, the city’s director of civic operations, said they’ve had their eye on the waterway for some time.

Normally at this time, snow in the hills has melted into the watershed, but high volumes were protected by a cool spring.

When the thaw started, it pushed an extra 20 to 25 millimetres down the creek a day, which was manageable for awhile.

“The creek was significantly lower (Tuesday),” Creron said.

“Then with the rainfall, we got concerned.”

Together they created rapidly rising waters

which pulled logs down the waterway, and they gathered under Lakeshore bridge in a dangerous five-tonne log jam, which raised water levels even further.

For hours city crews worked to dislodge the obstruction while traffic backed up then, as that was resolved, the Mayor called a state of emergency. “It gives us the right to do what we need to do to protect the health and safety of the public and our infrastructure,” explained Creron, who said the last time he’d seen water levels rise so high was 1996.

Contractors and a city crew constructed a short roadway through one of the affected properties along Mission Creek to gain access to the emergency area.

Large rocks were placed along a 100-metre section of the south side of the creek to reinforce the earthen dike.

A temporary gabion dike, supplied by Emergency Management B.C., was placed along the creek bank once the rocks are in place. “With more rain forecast for the weekend, we needed to make sure the lowest lying areas are protected,” Creron said.

Shortfall of sherriffs impacting trials Jeff Nagel CONTRIBUTOR

A North Vancouver home invasion case is the latest trial to be delayed due to a shortage of sher-

iffs that has intensified after cutbacks took effect this month.

The case against Duck Yoon was suspended June 8 by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth ArnoldBailey, who ruled the trial in the downtown Vancouver law courts won’t proceed until sheriffs are available to ensure security.

A similar situation occurred in Kelowna courts last month, as well as Richmond, Victoria and Nanaimo.

B.C., called it further evidence courthouse budget cuts are rippling throughout the justice system.

“This is a desperate and devastating situation,” he said.

“Things have to change immediately. Justice and the people of the province are suffering severe harm by this sad state of affairs.”

The provincial government cut the hours of 52 auxiliary and parttime sheriffs this month, equivalent to eliminating 34 full-time positions.

That’s on top of the loss of nearly 100 sheriffs— almost 20 per cent of the workforce—by attrition over a four-year hiring freeze.

In Kelowna courthouse, there are 12 sheriffs, and one vacancy.

That’s down one from previous years, due to the aforementioned reduction

“Deputy sheriffs couldn’t be provided for security, so the judges have put all those trials off as well,” he said.

“We’re pleased to see judges are stepping up and refusing to run their court rooms in that manner because it’s unsafe.”

The Attorney General’s ministry has said courthouse safety and security is a top priority but the deployment of sheriffs is subject to budget restraints.

February’s provincial budget approved cuts totaling $14.5 million for court services, prosecution services and the judiciary, despite a 2010 report from provincial court judges warning more than 2,000 criminal cases are at risk of being quashed due to excessive delays.

Plaque from A1

The list of parents who had written the board largely asked for such a review of the policy to ftake place, rather than an ad hoc decision to suspend the policy on a onetime basis.

One parent told the board a meeting of the kCentral Okanagan Parent Advisory Council had been called and representatives from 15 schools indicated they did not want the school district to roll over on the issue.

One of the more poignant letters explaining the naysayers’ viewpoint came from Disney Online Studios Kids Helping Kids manager Nicole Rustad, who works in corporate philanthropy.

She encouraged the board to stick to its guns, noting that while the serrvice club’s initial offer was admirable, the exfpectation that one organization should be given special consideration over all others was “unreasontable.”

She also noted direct marketing to children and youth through philanthropy should be avoided.

Baxter said what ulttimately shaped her decision was the history of such stakeholder intervention.

Having been around when the policy was orirginally drafted, Baxter recalled the considerable effort parents, teachers and other “education partner tgroups,” as the board calls them, put into the docutment.

“I think it’s far too easy to suspend policy ton a one-time basis,” she tsaid, noting she was also offended by the brazen attitude of the club. “…I don’t see how there was no pressure put on us. We were told, either you suspend the policy or you won’t get the money.”

Baxter said she believed the discussion was only taking place because

of the size of the donation, saying she didn’t feel one donor should be stacked against another who could only offer a smaller amount.

On the other side of the fence, trustees Gail Given and Gail Scanlan argued that service clubs should be treated differently than businesses.

“Service recognition is something we should promote with our kids and not be afraid of,” said Given.

She pointed out many things have changed since the policy was developed, noting Facebook didn’t even exist at the time and that the board should be showing kids what is and is not appropriate when it comes to advertising influence.

Big corporate logos in schools, she said, would be an example of what is not appropriate and something she would not want to see.

Scanlan added to the argument saying policies are something to be updated and changed, and that she too sees a difference between corporate sponsors and service clubs.

For his part, trustee Wayne Horning said he did not see any pressure whatsoever, noting the club had given the district three options—to put up the plaque and exempt the donation from the policy, to amend the policy or to turn down the funds.

Horning noted that earlier this year, the board of education approved a slush-fund to ensure the building would be built

with or without fundraising dollars in place, meaning the Rotary plaque decision, either way, would have had no bearing on the teen mom program’s new home at Kelowna Secondary School.

Only one parent came out in support of accepting the funds.

Telling the trustees her children go to Chute Lake Elementary School where such funding constraints will likely never be an issue as the teachers themselves characterize the new school as “Disneyland,” Yvette Moore argued the district should be taking the money just as parents take their children to play in Rotary parks.

Another visibly annoyed parent said he would encourage parents to send their kids to private school.

The board of education has also opted to review its policy with input from interested parties.

The Okanaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first B.C. Spot Prawn Festival was an overwhelming success, with more than 300 pounds of the West Coast crustaceans sold out in just over an hour Saturday.

Hundreds of seafood lovers crammed the waterfront patio at Manteo Resort for the festival, which celebrates the short, sixto eight-week fishing season for the delectable B.C. species of prawn.

Local chefs prepared a variety of small plates using the fresh prawns to showcase their sweet flavour and firm texture, and people lined up after purchasing tickets to have a taste of the creations.

Proceeds from the event will go to Ocean Wise, a Vancouver Aquarium program to ensure only sustainably-caught seafood is served at seafood counters and in restaurants.

JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS

IT WAS A SELLOUT within the first hour of the

Okanaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural B.C. Spot Prawn Festival, as local chefs, such as Rod Butters of RauDZ Regional Table, dished up delicacies made with the seasonal, West Coast crustaceans.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a program thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passionately supported by

many local chefs and seafood shop owners who be-

lieve in the importance of discouraging practices such as bottom trawling, which strips the ocean floor of everything in order for the fisherman to pick out certain items to sell. The rest is wasted.

A spot prawn festival has been held in Vancouver for the past five years, but this is the first time itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been organized in the interior.

Spearheaded by Codfathersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; owner Jon Crofts, it was organized by the Chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Table Society and the Pacific Prawn Fishermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association.

A festival was also held at the Watermark Resort in Osoyoos Sunday.

Organizers feel the success of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort points to the likelihood of it becoming an annual event in Kelowna.

Nearly all of B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spot prawns used to be exported to Asia until the festival increased local chefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and consumersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; awareness of them. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Interior Health receives green stewardship awards Interior Health was named the Energy & Environmental Stewardship Award recipient for 2011 from the Canadian College of Health Leaders at the group’s convention in Whistler last week.

“Interior Health is a great example of an agency taking action now to prepare for a changing climate and its impacts,” said Minister of Health Michael de Jong.

The CCHL award recognizes a progressive health care organization that has implemented programs that demonstrate environmental responsibility through the reduction of energy usage, the preservation of natural resources and effective waste diversion solutions.

“Health care has an explicit ethical duty to “do no harm,” said Dr. Robert Halpenny, CEO of Interior Health.

“That is why it is vital that we model sustainable behaviour within our communities and take a leadership role in environmental initiatives.”

Interior Health started on its environmental sustainability journey in 2002, before it was popular to do so.

Considered risky at the time, today Interior Health is a pioneer among provincial health-care organizations and leads many of the provincial green initiatives. For example, Interior Health started purchasing hybrid fleet vehicles in 2002. In 2009 the B.C. government mandated that all public sector organizations purchase only hybrids for their fleet. Today Interior Health has 60 hybrids within its fleet.

“Interior Health’s environmental actions have positive impacts on our communities, our environment and make good financial sense. When we save dollars in energy costs, it allows for reallocation of funds towards patient care,” said Halpenny.

Other successful environmental initiatives include: • tele-medicine, which has resulted in a reduc-

tion in surgeon and patient trips that add up to over 2,500,000 kilometres of driving over two years, saving over 702 tonnes of CO2 • an electronic performance management system that saves approximately 55,000 sheets of paper each year—equal to a pile of paper that reaches the height of a commercial jet traveling at about 40,000 feet • installing solar thermal panels to heat Domestic Hot Water (DHW), an initiative that will reduce GHG emissions by over 57 tonnes.

The CCHL award includes a $2,000 cash prize. The IH Green Team has chosen to donate the cash prize to the The Fresh Outlook Foundation, a non-profit organization that applies proven and practical community-based social marketing strategies in the development and delivery of programs that enable and encourage sustainable behaviors in people’s homes and workplaces in B.C.

Plan will address political inequity

O

ne of the most annoying inequities in federal politics, other than the Senate, may soon be corrected. The Conservative government plans to bring in legislation to give B.C., Alberta and Ontario the actual number of Commons seats those fast-growing provinces deserve. It’s long overdue.

While many people think that the House of Commons is a “rep by pop” institution, that is not the case. There are certain constitutional guarantees that keep some parts of Canada vast-

ly over-represented. While each province or territory should have at least one seat, Prince Edward Island, for example, has four MPs for its 136,000 residents. In other words, votes of P.E.I. residents are nearly four times more powerful than those of the Okanagan Coquihalla, with a population of just over 107,000 in 2006.

Unfortunately, because of these guarantees, including one that says Quebec must have 75 seats, the only way to properly represent Canada’s growing

population in the House of Commons is by adding seats.

At present, there are 308 MPs. It could be argued that is perhaps 50 too many. However, it is better to have too many MPs than to have some fast-growing areas of the country, like the Okanagan or Lower Mainland, severely under-represented in Ottawa.

Under-representation of B.C. and Alberta is perhaps the most glaring problem (the proposal would see B.C. get seven more seats and Alberta five), be-

cause both provinces rarely get the attention in Ottawa than does Ontario, because of its large and fast-growing population, and its geographic proximity to Ottawa.

The same cannot be said for Western Canada, even though a large proportion of economic and population growth in Canada now comes from the four western provinces.

Fairness is fundamental to a healthy democracy.

If this proposal passes, Canada’s population will be more fairly represented in Parliament.

Urge to primp before law turns on its cold camera eye

E

arlier this week, someone looked at me and said they were trying to match the face in front of them with the picture they saw in this paper.

The creepy feeling that goes with diminished anonymity aside, the comment tweaked an increasingly worrisome neurosis. Having sped past the age when missing a couple hours of sleep meant nothing, I immediately reached for my double chin, stood straighter and rapidly fired out reasons why there would be a disparity—dehydration and sleepiness were among the first to come to mind. I was about to launch into a discussion about my failing flat-iron before realizing I’d embarked on an awkward over-share that likely frightened the

poor man.

He may have been talking snapshots, but he really didn’t need to see my camera persona.

That one shamelessly preens, works all angles to expose my skin in the most youthful manner and frankly looks barmy from every view, other than the one directly behind a camera.

It may seem irrelevant, unless you consider Big Brother’s growing surveillance state may be lining me up for something that looks a bit like a raging social disorder.

Recent surveys say that each of us is photographed up to 10 times a day,

everywhere from the KATHARTIC at grocery store to the bank

machine and, if you’re particularly unlucky, even on Google streetcam.

Although I’ve conKathy sidered dressing up Michaels for the bank machine, most times one could be somewhat unaware of the invasion, allowing them to shuffle along peacefully. But there’s one new addition that’s causing me to sweat.

Kelowna Mounties announced Monday they too were strapping on cameras in an effort to increase transparency. Local coppers, like their counterparts nearly everywhere, have had some PR problems as of late, all

to do with varying incidents of alleged brutality and they’ve decided video is the cure.

They can turn their cameras on and off at will, which everyone is pointing out to be a value-diminishing element of this effort, but my vanity won’t know that. I’m bound to abandon my precious anonymity to throw my best angle forward, arch my neck strangely, raise an eyebrow and offer a strained smile.

Should an officer be disconcerted by the wacko in front of them, that could escalate my potential disorder by their zooming in (previously known as, walking toward me.) See my problem? So long anonymity, hello real mugshot.

Jokes aside, transparency and

safety may be the name of the game when it comes to installing cameras everywhere, but their mere presence is distracting, behaviour changing and raise legitimate questions about how, where and why the technology will be used.

People in a free society, like ours, have come to expect a certain degree of privacy and anonymity and whether everyone should ante up that to counteract the behaviours of a few bad seeds is cause for pause.

So, no Const. DeMille, I’m not ready for my closeup. Not until I primp a little anyway.

Extra money collected from HST earmarked for reducing massive debt obligations

Reason impaired

To the editor: The B.C. government continues to spend millions of taxpayer dollars to convince us to spend an additional seven per cent on the following items: Newspapers, magazines, music or video (downloaded), funeral services, hair stylist/barbers, veterinary services, vitamins, sporting events, movie tickets, sports safety helmets, golf memberships, driving range fees, gym memberships, bicycles, real estate commissions, massage therapy, over the counter medications, home repairs, taxis, camping sites, air, rail, and bus tickets, household moving, dry cleaning, snack foods, restaurant meals, basic cable service, local residential phone, appliance repairs, certain school supplies, Energy Star windows, insulation, weather stripping, first aid kits, smoke detectors, fitness trainer, manicures,

pedicures, accounting services, interior design services, wedding planning services, cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, nicotine replacement products, hockey, soccer lessons, tickets for live theater, admission to museums and art galleries, music concerts, hockey rink and hall rentals, new homes over $525,000, repair, maintenance, (e.g., plumbing, electrical, wiring), landscaping, lawn care, private snow removable and house cleaning, adult sized clothing for children, shoe repair, tailoring services, used adult clothing (less than $100).

To those who are looking forward to the one time $175 cheque just figure out what you will pay in additional taxes over the next 2 years. I am quite sure it will be considerably more.

The fact is, Gordon Campbell has pretty much bankrupted this province

and his gang went along with it. Why not? Gordo gave them all a raise.

I’m surprised that some people think the extra taxes collected will go to health, education, etc.

Not so. The money will be used to attempt to dig this beautiful province out of the massive debt that Gordon Campbell created.

Sure, the B.C. Liberals have a new leader in Christy Clarke but I really don’t expect anything will change, it’s the same group of MLAs following her around.

If we let the federal government take control of collecting this tax, B.C. will no longer have any input on collecting or dispersing the money.

What’s to say the feds won’t raise the tax to suite themselves?

Vote yes to kill the HST. Rick Brown, Kelowna

Electors trivialized To the editor: We need to look back to the beginnings of this HST fray and remember that it wasn’t just another tax that angered the public; it was the way it was done. No need to rewind that sordid story and its aftermath, but don’t think it won’t be a factor in the upcoming referendum vote.

Taxpayers felt scorned, manipulated and disrespected by the political establishment and left without democratic representation as their elected representatives hung them out to dry and supported the tax, with the sole exception of Blair Leckstrom—who now supports it as a cabinet minister.

Such is the sad perversion wrought by the doctrine of party discipline which has hijacked democratic representation.

The top few who run this province are gyrating with offers and maneuvers to save the tax, but it would be a huge mistake for taxpayers to roll over for these people. By offering a few minor adjustments to the original scheme they infer they think we are somewhat Pavlovian and can be made to do anything if we

are given a treat, a pat and a promise they will actually make the adjustments after the vote. It’s costing $7 million of our money allocated by the government arguing for the tax, versus $250,000 for the against side—further cynical disrespect.

I personally am astounded by the fact that in all the words of advocacy spoken and written by politicians, and for that matter some of the media, I have not heard a single, solitary word of concern or sympathy about where the money has to come from; the taxpayers’ pocket which is already taxed to hell. It has all been about how HST best serves the government’s needs.

So when you vote, just remember you are also voting not to be kicked around by an inadequate system of representation that should have seen your MLA fighting like a tiger for you because the vast majority of you clearly thought this tax was unfair.

You need to teach the system a lesson—don’t trivialize us. Make them dig their own way out of the hole they dug for themselves in the first place.

Roy Roope, Summerland

To the editor: My friend is fond saying, “you can’t reason with a drunk.”

But after the Capital News story Two Sides Square Off Over Tax Vote (June 1), we can probably include BillVander Zalm and Chris Delaney in that expression. It’s tough to reason with the anti-HST. Reading Vander Zalm’s comments about this referendum being “a matter of trust” gets a little thick when you remember that as premier, his own attorney general found him in a conflict of interest.

And, when the former premier describes this government’s reducing the HST as a bribe, well that too gets a little rich

when you remember that he was the one accepting cash in a paper bag as payment for Fantasy Gardens—while holding office as premier.

The real tragedy with their inflammatory comments is it denigrates our public discourse on what should be a reasoned public debate. Citizens wishing to make informed decisions are hardly helped when they have to weigh facts (pro HST) against half truths, hype, style, emotion, and erroneous suppositions (anti-HST).

Maybe I should have a few drinks. Then their comments might make sense.

Gordon Wiebe, West Kelowna

Fear mongering To the editor: I keep reading how the HST is going to cost each member of my family an extra $400 a year and yet the only thing I see that I pay extra tax on is snack food.

I have always paid PST and GST on clothes, vehicles, furniture, building supplies and just about

everything else I buy. The only reason I can see that the opponents of the HST, led by Bill Vander Zalm, are against is to punish the government. They keep saying how much more I am going to pay but no explanation just fear mongering.

Vendors take advantage To the editor: Twelve per cent HST? Guess again.

Lets look at two examples: Before HST: 1. Hot dog at outdoor vendor: $2.50 After H.S.T.: $3.

A mark up of a whopping 20 per cent, the vendor’s reasoning being “because of HST I have to pay extra for my buns, wieners, condiments, napkins, vehicle expenses etc.”

The actual extra cost, when carefully calculated, would be at the very most 12 per cent, but we the consumer pays an extra 20 per cent. The HST gives the vendor an excuse to raise his price. Good for the vendor, but not good for the consumer.

2. Home repairs (plumbing, electrical, heating, carpentry, etc.)

As an example, you must replace your kitchen taps: • If you purchase and install them yourself: Before HST: Cost of taps $50 plus 12 per cent (if you purchase them yourself).

After HST: same.

• Using hired labour at

$50/hr: Before HST 2 hours labour is $100 plus 5 per cent GST is $105.

After HST: The plumber is forced to raise his labour costs due to extra costs incurred

by HST, so say $55/hrs at 2 hours is $110 plus $13.20 (12 per cent HST) is $123.20 The extra cost is $18.20 or 17.33 per cent.

The example of home repairs is very conservative and in many cases would be considerably

more. Again, the HST can be good for the contractor but not good for the consumer.

Obviously the more taxes the government can rob from the people the more they can look good when giving a little back.

The HST is a federal tax and all funds raised by same is controlled by Ottawa.

Make any sense?

Positively not.

So vote “yes” on your ballet to get rid of HST Ray Forney, West Kelowna

Finding a link of asthma to suicide

T

he association may sound like a stretch—but did you know that asthma and suicide seem to be linked somehow?

Research has shown that children with asthma have a much higher mortality rate than their peers.

In addition, they have a greater than two-fold increase in completed suicide than the general population.

Several studies have found an association be-

Although other studies have found an association between suicide attempts and asthma, this is the first study to link asthma with completed suicide in young people.

Certainly, this correlation is concerning—asthma rates have been on the rise for the past 20 years and experts estimate the rates worldwide are rising roughly 50 per cent per decade.

Today in Canada there are more than three mil-

lion people with asthma—it affects roughly 12 per cent of children in our country.

In Canada, roughly 20 children and 500 adults die as a result of asthma each year.

But why should asthma sufferers also be at increased risk for suicide?

This is not yet fully understood, but there are several theories about why asthma, as well as comorbid anxiety and depression, may increase the risk of subsequent suicide.

One theory says asthma could interfere with normal development in youths by making it difficult to participate in social and physical activities.

Asthma could also have a negative impact on self esteem and lead to over protective parenting because of the child’s vulnerability to asthmatic episodes—causing conflict during adolescent years.

There is also a high prevalence of psychiatric conditions in people with asthma—one study found the prevalence of depression and anxiety disorders is twice as high in youths with asthma as those without—after controlling for socioeconomic status, other medical conditions and risky behaviours.

It seems that early development of respiratory symptoms is associated with a greater risk of depression and anxiety and early development of psychiatric disorders is also associated with a greater subsequent risk of asthma. Another theory gives a cognitive and biological explanation for the correlation between suicide and asthma, essentially the experience of asthma teaches fear of symptoms and scary health situations.

Repetitive experiences may sensitize the brain’s fear response and lead to depression or anxiety.

Whatever the reason, it is clear there is a marked increase in risk for psychiatric problems among those who experience asthma and parents and physicians monitoring the health of children and adolescents with asthma should be aware of the early symptoms and warning signs for anxiety and depression so they can offer help if it becomes necessary.

Whining to win with a little wine poured in for good measure Do you have what it takes to be a writer in today’s world?

Join award winning author Gordon Kirkland, one of Canada’s more successful writers, for a night of wine and writer’s wisdom. Being a writer is not an easy task. Gone are the days when all you had to do was submit an idea and agents and publishers would fall over them-

selves trying to sign you up.

Whether you are a fiction writer, humour writer, non-fiction writer, columnist, or poet, Kirkland will take you down the path from whining to winning in this three-hour seminar.

The event will be held at the Beaumont Winery on Boucherie Road in West Kelowna on Wednesday, July 6, start-

ing at 6:30 p.m. with wine tasting and a sampling of organic cheeses from Gort’s Gouda, the seminar starting at 7 p.m. The evening ends with a reading from Kirkland’s latest book, “Crossbow,” and a meet and greet with the author. Tickets are $25 and available at the Beaumont Winery, Dragon’s Lair Tea Shop or online at artisticswarrior.com.

Cherry Fair looking for vendors, exhibitors and entertainers The Kelowna Cherry Fair is finally coming home.

After being held the last two years at another location, the annual Cherry Fair returns to the renovated Laurel Packinghouse and B.C. Orchard Industry Museum on Saturday, July 23, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The host orchard industry museum is now relying on community partners to ensure that this fair is successful.

So the call has gone out for vendors, exhibitors, and entertainers to participate in the fair this year.

This year will prove to be one of the

most difficult yet to find cherries to share with the public, according to organizers.

If a local cherry grower is able to donate 20 pounds of cherries to the festival’s tasting table, plese contact Jacqueline Salvino at 250-763-2417 or email events@KelownaMuseums.ca.

Each year the Cherry Fair draws more than 1,000 visitors to participate in the fun, family event which features cherry tastings and sales, children’s activities and entertainment.

It celebrates the cherry industry and the rich agricultural heritage of the Okanagan.

How the concept of honour can be taken out of context O

n the news not long ago, a young Taliban fighter talked about the strategy behind the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the U.S. The goal in attacking U.S. symbols of economic and military power, he claimed, was achieved.

The country was

SOUL SEARCHING

Linda Horton shamed, “lost face,” lost honour. That brought

me up short. How many Americans would see it that way?

“Saving face” is not a core principle in the American world view.

There was shock, grief, anger, incredulity, and shock waves of insecurity. But most Americans are not operating in the same symbolic uni-

verse as the Taliban. The culture gap is perhaps insurmountable.

The word “honour,” in particular, caught my attention. Most Canadians find so-called “honour killings” completely incomprehensible and reprehensible.

Honour, when we use that somewhat archaic

A DIVISION OF FIRST WEST CREDIT UNION

word, means something quite different than “saving face.”

It has to do with integrity and courage, service to and even sacrifice for overarching cherished values. Proverbs (in the Christian scriptures) states that “Before honour is humility.”

When Don Quijote says: “Honour is dearer than life,” he is referring to his mission to rescue those in danger, especially women and children.

In such a world view, killing a kinswoman who has already been wronged, rather than standing up for her and seeking justice, is as dishonourable as anything we can imagine.

The West has had its own distorted views of honour. Take the British “gentleman” who ruined himself gambling, and took the “honourable” route of killing himself, leaving wife and children in desperate straits.

So-called “honour” has often led to violence.

In the West, too, woman’s “honour” was ruined by rape, or far less.

I agree with the phi-

losopher Baruch Spinoza that one “whose honour depends upon the opinion of the mob must day by day strive with the greatest anxiety…”

Yet we lose something when we give up words like “honour.”

Fellow philosopher Henry David Thoreau, who had no use for the opinions of others, spoke of honour as a matter of integrity and being true to his own values: “Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison…the only house in a slave state in which a free man can abide with honor.”

An honourable person cannot turn her back upon the suffering of others. A truly honourable person strives to avoid hypocrisy, does not act in service of ego but for the greater good.

There are higher purposes in life than saving face or garnering public recognition. Like doing justice, loving mercy, and being faithful to our God (or our highest Good).

Islam, when not distorted by patriarchal cul-

tures and shame-based psychology, teaches this as Christianity does.

Attacking the inherent worth of other human beings for the colour of their skin or their sexual orientation is itself a form of violence that provides fuel for hate crimes all caring people abhor.

True honour is not about our reputation in the eyes of the world. That can be built upon sand, and destroyed in the blink of an eye. True honour is about being true to who we are without distorting ourselves to please others.

It means living our lives as nobly as we have it in us to do—loving that which is good, dedicating our lives to serving justice and compassion, even “loving our enemies and doing good to those who would hate us.”

In the end, as we are only human, we must come back to humility, and forgive ourselves and others when we cannot always live up to these high aspirations.

Rev. Linda Weaver Horton is with the Unitarian Fellowship of Kelowna.

his an invitation to join me at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 16, for a free guided tour of the unH2O Xeriscape Demonstration Garden, located in front of the H2O Aquatic Centre, 4075 Gordon Dr. The tour is the first in a monthly series that will continue until late fall.

The garden was created last year by the Okanagan Xeriscape Association with financial support from the federal government provided through the department of the environment; the City of Kelowna; the Okanagan Basin Water Board; and with the assistance of the local landscaping and horticulture industries and many volunteers.

It has been designed to showcase the beauty and seasonal change that are possible in a xeriscape landscape.

The 4,000-square-foot demonstration garden contains over 70 different species that grow well in full sun with little or no supplemental water.

There is a succession of colour from May until frost. Plants were chosen for their bloom time

GARDENING WITH NATURE

Gwen Steele and colour as well as for hardiness and attractive foliage.

To help individuals see what they could do in their own gardens, there are five distinct theme gardens.

The Mediterranean, Native and Rock Gardens contain very drought tolerant plants. These were watered last year to allow them to get their roots established. They will now grow without any supplemental irrigation.

The Butterfly and Ornamental Grass gardens and the trees will always need a small amount of irrigation during hot, dry spells. They are on an inline drip irrigation system but have not yet been irrigated this year.

The growth, vibrant bloom, and general health of the plants show what can be achieved with good soil and appropriate

plant selection. A layer of mulch (Ogogrow) ensures moisture retention and feeds the plants.

Garden brochures, complete with a full listing of plants found in each garden, are available beside the main garden sign. Plant labels and the brochures will aid gardeners in identifying plants they might want to grow.

It’s good to make regular visits as the gardens change by the week. Last year the butterfly garden was a mass of bloom from June until late November.

Plant information and photos are in the plant database at www.okanaganxeriscape.org.

Check the website gallery page for photos of the garden, a copy of the garden brochure, and the story of building the garden.

Gwen Steele is executive-director of the nonprofit Okanagan Xeriscape Association. Learn more about Gardening with Nature and plants for the Okanagan on the website www.okanaganxeriscape.org.

Win a xeriscape garden prize The Okanagan Xeriscape Association has organized a garden contest to encourage residents of the Central Okanagan to convert existing water-hungry landscapes to water-smart ones and to showcase their existing xeriscape garden.

To enter the contest, homeowners are asked to take before and after photographs and become familiar with the principles of xeriscape, as detailed on the

Okanagan Xeriscape Association website. Winners will be recognized on the website and receive a specially designed and inscribed garden ornament. All entries are eligible for a $500 draw prize.

For complete contest details, entry form and to access a comprehensive database of drought tolerant plants, go to the website at www.okanaganxeriscape. org.

pickup returned.

Failing that, she would like to warn others that the 45-gallon barrels sto-

“The methanol is used for race cars and my sons race, they need the methanol,” said Louise.

She had the barrels securely tied up in the box of her 1994 GMC 3/4-ton heavy duty diesel truck which was parked in a 30th Avenue apartment complex in Vernon Sunday night.

When she awoke Monday morning, the truck was gone.

As police later discovered, the truck was taken to Kelowna where, according to Louise, a trailer was stolen from a sod farm.

The flatdeck contained several John Deere riding mowers.

The truck, trailer and mowers were reported to Kelowna RCMP, who alerted Lake Country officers.

The truck and trailer were spotted going through Lake Country northbound on Highway 97, so Vernon RCMP officers were notified.

The truck was seen turning off the highway and ended up on Commonage Road. There, officers set up a spike belt which the truck drove over. The lone suspect in the vehicle fled on foot but was arrested a short time later by RCMP. According to Louise, the suspect told RCMP he dumped the barrels but they have not been recovered.

Louise, who had been in Vernon for a funeral, got her truck back but she would like to return to her Alberta home with the methanol. If anybody has any information they can contact Louise at 780674-0731.

Class of ‘81 VSS reunion planned The Vernon Senior Secondary School class of 1981 will hold its 30-year reunion on Saturday, July 30, at the Best Western Vernon Lodge Hotel.

NEWS ▼ POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION

f everyone is so tied into their smart phones do we really need to continue to build classrooms?

Will there come a day, not so far into the future, where students will download apps of course content onto their phones and learning will take place just about anywhere?

And will our job at colleges and universities become focused on how to best deliver the course content and how to make sure professors are kept up-to-date in the latest technology to assist in this delivery?

This is the thinking that is beginning to shape the future of post-secondary education as students begin to demand different approaches to learning.

Today, 98 per cent of students own a mobile device and most usually check this device every 10 minutes.

Student surveys have shown that they prefer to contact their professor through email than make an appointment to visit

SCHOOL’S IN

Jane Muskens them in their office.

The next group of college and university students are being dubbed digital natives because they can’t remember a time when there wasn’t such a thing as the Internet.

How we teach and how these students approach learning is pushing forward changes in course delivery and services at such a rapid pace that it’s becoming difficult for post-secondary institutions to even keep up.

In 2007-08 in the United States, 4.3 million students who were completing a bachelor’s degree took at least one course through distance education.

Most would have completed this course online through the Internet.

Another four per cent of students completed their entire degree through distance education.

Right now the London School of Business and Economics and MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) are providing free online course content. You can visit their website and take courses; you just can’t submit any assignments, get a grade and apply for a credential.

In some ways it is free course auditing.

So why is this happening? For starters, young adults are probably the most adept to learning and utilizing new technology. If colleges and universities catered mostly to senior citizens we wouldn’t have the same set of demands for electronic communications and course delivery.

But today young adults move in and out of technology at a rapid pace and are much more capable of multi-tasking than previous generations.

They are also busy people who often com-

bine study with work along with other responsibilities. Online learning provides greater opportunities to complete a credential on your own schedule, not the one the school publishes every year.

It is also attractive to married couples with or without children. If you are planning to go to school to get a credential, most often your spouse is working. It is easier to enroll and complete a credential online without having to move to attend classes, especially if your spouse can’t quit their job.

Students want what technology can offer and today most of our students have technology in their homes, such as wi-fi and laptops that are capable of many things from streaming video to accessing online student services.

And if you look at the price of gas today, why not do it at home.

Consensus that PST â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;not the best taxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By now, hopefully, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve received the HST Votersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Guide in the mail.

It contains the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noâ&#x20AC;? position in favour of the HST, a statement from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesâ&#x20AC;? side opposing the HST, and rebuttals from either side.

There is also a summary of the independent panel report on the HST, which was mostly in support of the HST. My last column about the HST referendum, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stick Man Vs. Straw Man,â&#x20AC;? elicited some thoughtful feedback, some positive and some negative.

Unfortunately, it also elicited some less than thoughtful feedback. I was surprised by some of the more angry and personal emails.

The most frustrating aspect of the anti-HST ar-

Ben Stewart gument often seems to be opposition to the HSTâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; period, full stop. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the argument ends.

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disingenuous to simply oppose the HST and pretend that returning to the old PST/GST system will be painlessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or worth the trouble.

Indeed, there are precious few who defend the old, inefficient PST/ GST system as inherently better.

Much of the argument against the HST seems to be about the way it was introduced, which was far less than ideal.

Could we have done a better job introducing the HST? Unquestionably. Can the HST be improved? Yes. And Premier Christy Clark has announced and committed the province to those improvements, including a reduction to 10 per cent, which the federal government has indicated it will commit to an order of Parliament.

The choice facing British Columbians isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t between the HST and doing away with sales tax altogether, but between the 10 per cent HST and reverting back to the 12 per cent GST/PST system.

Tellingly, many of the HSTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most vocal oppo-

THE CHOICE FACING BRITISH COLUMBIANS ISNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T BETWEEN THE HST AND DOING AWAY WITH SALES TAX ALTOGETHER, BUT BETWEEN THE 10 PER CENT HST AND REVERTING BACK TO THE 12 PER CENT GST/PST SYSTEM.

nents stop short of endorsing the old system, which they know was inefficient and not competitive.

Even FightHSTâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; which has taken many positions best described as ridiculousâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;conceded as much.

In their April Truth Report, they said the PST â&#x20AC;&#x153;may not be the best tax.â&#x20AC;?

So why spend about $3 billion bringing it back? According to the

same report, it could â&#x20AC;&#x153;begin the process of determining the best type of tax for British Columbia.â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply irresponsible. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about a lot of money to spend on â&#x20AC;&#x153;starting a process.â&#x20AC;?

If the PST/GST system â&#x20AC;&#x153;may not be the best tax,â&#x20AC;? why sink billions into pretending it is?

The referendum is between two choicesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; keeping the 10 per cent HST, or going back to the 12 per cent GST/PST system.

Despite what FightHST and others may claim, there is no third option. If we go back to the GST/PST system, we are likely stuck with it for the foreseeable future.

Can you make a sensible case that returning to the 12 per cent PST/ GST system wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cost much, or that it would be worth it?

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think so.

Keep the animals out of your garbage Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the hunt for food, often under the cover of darkness, and your garbage may be the smorgasbord theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about wildlife,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says regional waste reduction facilitator Rae Stewart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that spring is here, some animals have come out of hibernation, and are hungry and on the prowl for food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best advice if you live in an area susceptible to wildlife is to reduce the risk of conflict by taking responsibility for your trash.â&#x20AC;?

Stewart reminds residents not to put their garbage, recycling or yard waste carts out for collection until the morning of their actual collection day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bears and other animals have a keen sense of smell, so the idea is not to attract them to your garbage unnecessarily. If they find your waste, not only can they make a real mess, but could also pose a risk to you and your family, or to themselves by attracting the unnecessary attention of conservation officers.â&#x20AC;?

The B.C. Conservation Foundation Bear Aware web site also suggests keeping your garbage in a secured shed or garage until pickup day, and recommends not stockpiling or burying garbage. As well, it offers a reminder that fish and meat remains should not be left outside. It suggests freezing or keeping them in a cool place until they can be placed into the garbage on your collection day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many residents have had success with using bungee straps to secure the lid of their waste carts,â&#x20AC;? Stewart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep in mind though, any security devices you choose to deter wildlife from your trash must be released on the day of your collection so the lid can open freely and the container contents be emptied into the automated truck.â&#x20AC;?

The public is also reminded to take care with what is disposed of in a backyard composter. Things like cooking oil, grease, and dairy products should never be left outside or put into a compost bin, as this can attract wildlife to your backyard.

JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS

EVEN IN outdoors columnist Judie Steeves’ backyard, deer mommas are a bit protective of their young—so she keeps her distance, even though they don’t keep theirs.

I

t’s just common sense never to threaten a kid when its mother is around.

Whether they’re on two legs or four, moms can be pretty scary if they think their offspring are being threatened.

It’s a defensive mechanism: young ones don’t yet have the equipment or know-how to defend themselves, so they must be protected by their parents until that is developed.

And, this is the time of year when there are lots of young ones around in the wildlife world.

That lesson was brought home in an unforgettable and tragic way for a Tappen man who took his dog for a walk Sunday morning through an abandoned orchard in that rural area of the Shuswap.

His 13-year-old dog treed last year’s black bear cub, and while the man—who has requested anonymity—attempted to call off the dog, the mother bear attacked him from behind, clawing and biting at his shoulder and chest.

The wounds required 50 stitches, but he was released from Salmon Arm hospital that evening.

The dog was also injured but did not require veterinary care.

It’s a chilling reminder that only teddy bears are cuddly, and that mothers are not to be trifled

Never threaten a wildlife baby when the mom is around TRAIL MIX

Judie Steeves with when it comes to the health and safety of their youngsters.

If you have a dog and you walk it in an area which may be home to bears (most of the B.C. Interior), it’s wise to control the dog with a leash.

In the process, you may also save the dog from rising flood waters in local streams as well, particularly if it’s partial to water or foolish enough to get too close to the edge of a stream.

Another incident this spring is a reminder not to go in after your dog if the pet does happen to get caught up in the rushing stream, because ironically, you may not survive the dip into wild and icy waters, but it’s likely the pet will.

But, back to mothers and their youngsters.

Even deer, docile and gentle, wary and timid as they may seem, have very sharp hooves which mother deer are not averse to using if they feel their fawns are being threatened.

A Penticton dog owner has complained that a doe beat up his dog after it chased her fawn

this spring. It’s illegal, incidentally, to permit your dog to chase deer.

It’s also illegal to be in possession of wildlife, so do not pick up fawns you come upon who appear to have been abandoned by their mothers.

First, chances are the fawn has simply been told to stay still while the doe goes off to forage and secondly, if you interfere, it could easily be the death of the fawn, rather than helpful to it.

Similarly, birds are quite capable of looking after themselves, unless they’ve been born with-

out all their faculties for some reason, and then the natural thing is for them to die.Your interference will not be helpful in the long run.

The head of the Conservation Officer service for this area, Josh Lockwood, reports they have already fielded more than 300 calls from the public about problem wildlife, largely due to the late spring and the impact that’s had on food sources, leading many of them into residential areas to scrounge in an area that’s less subject to the vagaries of nature.

Just in the past week, he says they’ve had to put down five black bears who have shown aggressive and potentially dangerous behaviour.

None seemed to be very healthy, and most were under-weight, he noted.

On the whole, though, there is a very healthy population of black bears here in the Okanagan, he said.

WILDFLOWERS

Incidentally, thanks very much to all of you who pointed out that the mystery flower with the

delicate blue bells, pictured with last week’s Trail Mix column, is Triteleia grandiflora, also known as Brodiaea douglasii.

There’s a great wildflower display right now, particularly at elevations just above the valley bottom, although the delicate bitterroot or Lewisia rediviva is now out in bloom on sunny exposed, undisturbed spots at lower elevations.

I love these tissue-like flowers which just seem to pop up in the most uninviting environs: exposed rocky outcroppings with little soil and way too much sun.

Unfortunately, we’re building over too many sites which are their favourite habitat, so they can only be found now in a few spots, including Knox Mountain Park and Rose Valley Regional Park, Goat’s Peak and Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park.

UPCOMING EVENTS

JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS

THE DAINTY bitterroot, Lewisia rediviva, which thrives in the most inhospitable environments, is now in bloom in the Okanagan.

If you’re interested in discovering nature, there’s a free, guided nature walk on Lower Powers Creek on Saturday, June 18, led

by Bob Fulton, with the Central Okanagan Naturalists’ Club.

This walk will begin with a brief introduction to the main geological features and history of the valley and it will examine the rocks deposited where Powers Creek breaks

out of Glen Canyon 50,000,000 years ago.

Walkers will also tour the lower section of Glen Cany7on Regional Park, exploring the canyon of the creek. After lunch, you will walk to the iron bridge to view the chutes in the creek’s canyon.

Bring a looney for insurance, and meet at Gellatly Heritage Park, 4120 Gellatly Road at 10 a.m.

Be sure to wear suitable shoes and clothing for the weather, and bring lunch and water.

There will be an emphasis on geology of the area. This is a walk with some ups and downs, over a distance of about four kilometres, and is not suitable for strollers, walkers or wheelchairs.

That same Saturday, June 18, the Peachland Sportsman’s Association invites everyone interested to join them for a free barbecue and fishing derby at Shannon Lake in West Kelowna. Bring the whole family. It’s part of the free Family Fishing Weekend so even fishing licences are not required for adults that weekend, anywhere in B.C. The netted bay in the lake will be freshly stocked with catchablesized trout and there will be lots of prizes for the youngsters.

See you there.

Motorists asked to stop idling

Helping caregivers understand changes in behaviour

Wednesday, June 8, was Clean Air Day across the Central Okanagan.

To mark that event, the regional district air quality program is launching an initiative to encourage motorists to join the effort to reduce vehicle idling and unnecessary pollution.

Even a slight change to avoid idling can help keep our air clean.

Central Okanagan organizations and businesses that would like to support the no-idling endeavor can request some free signs through the Regional Air Quality Program.

The 12-by-18 inch metal signs display an image of a vehicle with exhaust emissions and $$$ icons inside the internationally recognized red circle with a line through it and the words: “BC is Idle Free—Turn Engine Off—Idling gets you nowhere.”

The signs were funded through a provincial grant by the Okanagan Similkameen Airshed Coalition committee which works cooperatively on initiatives to improve outdoor air quality.

Kate Bergen, the Central Okanagan air quality program coordinator, says, “Anti-idling policies have been adopted by the Regional District, City of Kelowna, District of

A SAMPLE SIGN that the

Lake Country and District of Peachland as a practical way to help reduce vehicle emissions from their fleets.

“Central Okanagan motorists

can also play a major role in improving our air quality.

“By simply avoiding idling for just three minutes every day, residents would reduce greenhouse gas wmissions by more than 6,000 tonnes every year.”

Kate Bergen add that recent emissions data shows that vehicle emissions are responsible for the greatest proportion of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds emitted in the Central Okanagan, as well as a large proportion of other air pollutants.

“These air pollutants can seriously affect human health, and have negative effects on our local environment and the economy,” Bergen said.

“The anti-idling signs are available without cost to community groups and businesses that have adopted an anti-idling policy.

“If any business is interested in adopting a policy, they can contact me and I’ll provide more information to help them get started.”

Requests can be directed to kbergen@kelowna.ca or by calling 250-469-8408.

For more information on regional air quality program initiatives in the Central Okanagan visit regionaldistrict.com/airquality.

Changes in the brain due to Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia often appear to family members as changes in the person’s behaviour.

Kelowna caregivers will learn how to understand behaviour as a form of communication in a free tele-workshop offered on Thursday, June 23, by the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. Understanding Behaviour, starting at 7 p.m.,

will explore strategies for determining what the person with dementia might be trying to communicate, and finding ways to decrease the occurrence of behaviours that concern us and how to respond in supportive ways.

Early registration is required. Please register by Monday, June 20, to participate by visiting www. alzheimerbc.org or phoning toll-free 1-866-3962433.

Tele-workshops are learning sessions designed for family caregivers, but also open to health care providers.

They can be accessed via telephone, with an optional web component, recognizing that many caregivers are unable to attend in-person workshops.

Participants also have a chance to learn and to share with others who are in similar situations.

Banquet raises $20,000 for wetlands A recent Ducks Unlimited Canada banquet fundraiser exceeded expectations by raising $20,000 for wetlands protection and enhancement.

“We raised much needed funds to put into effect our ambitious plans for healthy, abundant wetlands and water,” said Ducks Unlimited member

Byron Cooke. “For every one dollar raised, $0.85 is invested in conservation and research. Furthermore funds raised in B.C. stay in B.C. The DUC organization has grown over the years, and is now Canada’s most respected wetlands conservation organization, Cooke noted.

DUC’s 2005 Okanagan Plan identified our valley as a priority for water and wetland enhancement and preservation.

Areas that can benefit from the $20,000 raised include Cool’s Pond, Swan Lake, Oyama Marsh, Vaseux Marsh, McCall Lake, and Brandt’s Creek wetlands.

All-girls club going strong Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTERS

Baylee Hunt is planning to make the most of her last summer as a player with the Okanagan Halos Girls Baseball Club.

After five years with one of Canada’s only allgirls clubs, the Grade 10 student at Rutland Senior Secondary will reluctantly graduate, closing the book on one of the most fulfilling times of her life.

“It’s been an experience unlike any other,” said Hunt, now 15, who has been with the Kelowna-based club since its inception. “The opportunity for girls to be part of their own baseball team without having to play with the boys, and proving you can play against the boys has been really great.

“The friendships I’ve made over the years have been invaluable and the coaches have been wonderful, too,” she added.

“For the five of us who are not going to continue playing after this season, I know it’s been a special time.”

Hunt, who plays for the bantam team, is one of the original members of the Okanagan Halos Girls Baseball Club which was founded by Danny Jones in 2006.

That first season, the Halos featured only a mosquito-aged team but, in the years since, peewee and bantam division teams have been added. In 2011, there are 37 girls between the ages of 10 and

15 playing on three different teams.

The Halos play games against boys A level teams and have historically held their own against male competition. This season, for example, the bantam Halos sport a record of seven wins, three losses and one tie.

Jones established the Halos five years ago to give girls the opportunity to play baseball in comfortable and rewarding environment.

“In the past, you would always see a few girls playing baseball on boys teams, but after the mosquito age (10, 11) there would be a severe drop-off, only one or two would continue on,” Jones said. “My idea was to create a safe place for girls to be themselves, so they weren’t that oddball player sitting at the end of the bench. There’s something really cool about an allgirls team—it’s like the movie, A League of Their Own. “We have the uniforms, the girls are identifiable as the Halos, they have their names on their backs and they keep their number from the day they start at 10 until they’re 15. The girls get the same consistency of coaching all the way through and their starting point is far ahead of other teams. We may not hit harder or pitch harder than the boys, but we’re probably better at a lot of the little things.”

The Halos operate under the umbrella of the Kelowna Minor Base-

“It’s a good marriage, (KMBA) gives us structure and affiliation but they’re pretty hands-off,” said Jones. “There are no other girls teams that play regularly anywhere in Canada. We’re paving our own way, it’s nice that (Kelowna Minor) has handed us the reins.”

Traditionally, girls teams have most often been found on softball diamonds, not baseball.

If Jones has his way, many more girls will be given the opportunity to

play on baseball teams in the future.

Jones has pushed for the establishment of allgirls clubs in places like Surrey, Burnaby and Kamloops, but so far his efforts have yet to bear fruit.

“What we would like to do is follow the hockey model and have girls against girls on a larger scale,” Jones said. “The practicality of it all is that we’d still need to compete against boys teams, but on occasion we could have tournaments and doubleheaders with girls against girls and grow the game that way. What we’ve

done locally has worked well, we’d like to take this template and make it work across the province.

“We’re a little disappointed we haven’t been able to get B.C. Minor Baseball on board,” he continued. “We’ve offered it as humbly as we can.

Baseball has traditionally been a boys sport and it can be difficult to get past that.”

If all-girls baseball ever does catch on in Canada, it seems likely that the Halos would hold their own against competition from any part of the country.

Last fall, every mem-

ber of the Halos bantam team played at a national all-girls bantam tournament in Richmond, either as a member of the B.C. Selects or with the B.C. host team.

The B.C. Selects won the gold medal over teams from Quebec, Alberta, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia.

And while beating other girls clubs can be a thrill, Baylee Hunt said there is a certain sense of satisfaction which also comes from getting the better of a boys team on the diamond.

“It’s a lot of fun to play boys teams and see the

expression on their faces when they see how good we can play and when we actually win,” she said.

“We’re underestimated a lot of the time.

“But mostly, it’s provided me with a great team environment and a good basis for friendship.”

Hunt hopes to continue her association with the Halos beyond this summer and is considering helping out next season in a coaching role.

With five players born in 1997, four in 1998, and two in 1999 (squirt age), the Heat is a relatively young team, but it didn’t stop them from competing with—and in most cases beating—teams from the Lower Mainland.

“A lot of the teams the from the coast have all these girls to draw from, but we don’t have that luxury of 50 or 60 girls trying out,” said Heat co-coach Dan Lambert. “All the work the girls put in over the winter indoors has really paid off. It’s a pretty young team and we’re

thrilled they had that experience of playing late on Sunday.

“We were very happy with the way they played.”

The peewee Heat are: Julia Lambert, Tessa Barbour, Taylor Kathler, Angela Soukeroff, Nicole Fedorak, Megan McGillivray, Shayla Tyerman, Emma Lewis, Megan Kneller, Candice Vuong and Tova Turnbul. The coaches are Dan Lambert and Doug Fisher.

The Heat’s next tournament is June 17 and 18 in Richmond.

Ogopogo club members home from Coquitlam with medals Four members of the Kelowna Ogopogo Swim Club returned home with aggregate medals from the Coquitlam Sharks Invitational meet last weekend.

Cam Feil won the gold for the division 5 boys, Denzel Mohamed won the silver in the division 5 boys, Makenna Haight won a bronze for the division 2 girls, and Kyra McNulty took home a bronze for the division 3 girls.

Five other members of the Ogopogo team competed at the meet which featured about 200 swimmers from 10 coastal clubs.

The following is a brief summary of the local athletes’ performances: • Division 1—In Kylie Haight’s first meet ever she swam a fantastic an-

chor leg on the divison 2 girls relay ensuring their second place finish. She also posted personal best times in her two individual events (50 freestyle and 50 backstroke).

• Division 2—Makenna Haight led the way for a very strong division 2 girls squad. Her victories and personal best times in the 50 Back and 100 Free set the tone for the team. Overall she won the bronze aggregate for her division and finished with personal best times in five of her six individual events.

In Sophie Schroder’s first official swim meet she set the bar exceptionally high with a victory in the division 2 girls 50 breaststroke and set personal best times in all 5 individual swims.

Joelle da Silva had a fantastic meet with personal best times in all 5 of her individual performances a and had two solid relays swims to help lead the Ogopogos to a second and third place finish in the girls division 2 medley and division 3 free relays respectively.

• Division 3—Kyra McNulty faced some stiff competition on the coast against several swimmers who are favoured to win medals at this year’s BCSSA championships in August and came home with a bronze aggregate for her efforts. She had three personal best times in the 100 free, 100 IM and 50 breast.

Kianna McNulty raced to personal best times in the 100 free, 50 breast, 50 back and 100 IM.

• Division 4—Theo Mohamed had a very strong showing at the meet with personal best times in the 100 IM, 50 back, 50 breast and 50 fly.

• Division 5—Cam Feil led the way for the Ogopogo swim team in Coquitlam with an overall aggregate gold and victories in the 200 IM, 100 Breast, 100 Free and 50 Free. He finished second in the 100 back and third in the 100 fly.

Denzel Mohamed was the runner up to Cam for the Division 5 aggregate and won the 100 back. He placed second in the 200 IM, 100 free and 50 free and was just off the podium with fourth place finishes in both the 100 fly and 100 breast. His 50 free and 100 breast were personal best times.

Aquajet Roberts drops near 10 seconds from his 200 fly time

The KelownaAquaJets Swim Club sent 35 swimmers to Kamloops last weekend for the19th annual June Classic competition, boasting the best rteams from B.C., Alberta, and Washington.

Long time AquaJet Julien Roberts, 13, had all his hard work pay off, dropping nearly 10 seconds in his 200 fly to a silver medal and his first qualifying time for Age Group Nationals, bringing the AquaJet team up to nine qualifiers for this major event in Montreal in July.

Roberts took over a minute in all his races over the weekend, placing 6th and 9th in his 100 and 50 fly.

Younger AquaJets Michael Patora and Kaylin

Scuka also reached new levels on the weekend making their first qualifying times for the AA provincials hosted here in Kelowna in three weeks time. Patora reached his mark in the 100m Backstroke in a time of 1:27.25.

Scuka swam a blistering 34.41 second 50 free taking off 16 seconds on Friday morning to reach her qualifying time.

Other team highlights came in three relays, all breaking club records and they were: The boys 13-14 medley relay consisting of Josh Zakala, Sam McDonald, Roberts and Patora; and the girls 11-12 team Clarrise Obedkoff, Jenna Butterworth, Hayley Martin and Katie Dunlop broke both the freestyle and medley

records on Friday and Saturday night. Dunlop also made her mark individually tying teammate Monique Kennedy’s record in the 50 fly in a time of 33.86 and breaking a 100 free record set by Megan Foreman in 1997.

Younger brother Ian Dunlop, had his time in the spotlight too, breaking the team record in the 50 breast in the 10 and under category with a time of 49.63 seconds. McDonald and Obedkoff later in the same event broke the 1112 records with times of 39.27 and 41.09 respectively.

Rounding out the records were two swims

by Christian Desjarlais breaking both the 50 back (30.44) and the 50 fly (27.77) records in the

boys open age group.

Head Coach Peter Wilkins was impressed with the teams quality of performances over the three days.

“We saw a lot of surprising swims throughout the club, making for a very fast and exciting weekend,” said Wilkins.

The team was proud of its successes in the pool but remains focused on the upcoming weeks of training leading into their biggest and most competitive meets in Kelowna, Victoria, Montreal and Scotland.

The team will be hosting a recruiting camp the week of Aug. 22 at H20 and Athans pools. For more information please go online to www.kelownaaquajets.com

▼ BRIEFS

Rented Mules still have a kick Briefs from A26 is no kicking or tackling in the game.

The league will run on Monday nights in July and the first two weeks of August. On June 27, teams will be taught the rules and receive some basic

instruction for the game.

Each team will play two 30-minute games each Monday night.

Teams or individuals can sign up at the Parkinson Recreation Centre entranceway this weekend.

Sign-ups will be held between 10 a.m. and 3

p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, June 11 and 12.

Teams are made up of 10 to 12 players, with at least three members from each gender on the team. Seven people are on the field for each team at any one time.

Teams can change players ‘on the fly’, much the

same as you see in a hockey game.

“The cost for this sixweek league is only $20 per player, thanks to a sponsorship from Rusty’s Steakhouse and Sports Bar,” said Manning. “We encourage players to give it a try.”

Sculptors chip away then you get to vote for your favourite Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

If you’re walking down the corridor from the Kelowna Community Theatre to the Rotary Centre for the Arts and notice a strange arrangement of stone, don’t worry, this isn’t the city’s idea of a rock garden.

Chipped from an unnamed donor’s quarry and carefully hauled to the site by the Kelowna Sculptor’s Network Society, this arrangement of stones will become a public sculptor’s studio for the majority of the summer as the society opens its doors to the work normally housed in studios.

“Carving marble is slow, so it will take several months and we won’t all be down here at the same time,” said Jeanne Bates, who joined the group originally to work on a bronze medallion project the society was offering in workshops.

She now has a bronze

piece displayed in Kelowna’s sister city of Kasagai.

Fellow sculptor Donna Lee has had plenty of work displayed right here in Kelowna. She is responsible for sculpting former Mayor Walter Gray and says her public sculpture here will likely be objectified, meaning it will have other materials, like wood or metal framing, included in the final product. She is planning an abstract piece.

Altogether there are 14 stones, though only 12 artists will be doing the carving. One piece will be done as a thank you to the person who donated the

stone and another will become a contest for up-andcoming artists.

In the coming weeks, the sculptors are expected to announce the ins-andouts of a contest which will see several youths’ black and white drawings selected to be carved into the final stone.

This will take a concentrated effort from the carvers who each had the privilege of choosing the stone they wanted to use to create their main piece, making the carving itself a little easier.

The community art project will be donated back to the citizens of Kelowna to be displayed in an as yet undecided location. On Saturday, July 30 the sculptors will host a special celebratory reception for the project at the Kelowna Art Gallery and the community will get the chance to vote for their favourite sculpture— which will be announced at a closing reception in September.

KYLE CHANDLER (left), Joel Courtney, Elle Fanning and Ron Eldard star in Super 8, written and directed by J.J. Abrams and produced by Steven Spielberg.

▼ MOVIE PREVIEWS

Abrams in Spielberg footsteps A few years ago, I thought M. Night Shyamalan was going to be the next Steven Spielberg.

I was wrong.

The next Spielberg is J.J. Abrams.

Abrams has already proved that he is a talented writer, producer and director on both TV (Felicity, Alias, Lost & Fringe) and in movies (Mission: Impossible III, Cloverfield, Start Trek & Morning Glory) but his latest project is produced with the master himself.

Super 8 is from the minds of both Abrams and Spielberg, who collaborated in a storytelling committee to come up with the story for the film.

Abrams wrote the script and directed, with Spielberg serving as producer.

The most interesting part about their col-

MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis laboration is how secretive they have been about the story. It is set in the summer of 1979, when a group of friends in a small Ohio town witness a catastrophic train crash while making a super 8 movie and soon suspect that it was not an accident.

Shortly after, unusual disappearances and inexplicable events begin to take place in town, and the local deputy tries to uncover the truth—something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined.

We know that there is something big and non-

human in the story, but what it is exactly we will not find out until we see the movie.

Abrams used a similar campaign when promoting Cloverfield, but that influence comes from Spielberg, who kept the look of the dinosaurs a secret when promoting Jurassic Park and used similar techniques when promoting Jaws and E.T. The idea is not to give the entire movie away in the previews, so therefore I am not even going to speculate what to expect other than it is going to be a fun summer popcorn movie.

Super 8 is rated PG with a warning of violence, frightening scenes and coarse language.

Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer is based on Megan McDonald’s series of books about the humorous ad-

ventures of third grader Judy Moody.

While her friends all head off to exotic summer camps, bummedout Judy (Jordana Beatty) is stuck in town to face a boring summer with only her friend Frank and her little brother Stink for company. However, when her Aunt Opal (Heather Graham) comes to visit, the summer takes an unexpectedly adventurous turn.

CONTRIBUTOR

Festivals Kelowna is a not for profit society that produces outdoor programs and events for the community including the Celebrate Canada Day –Kelowna festivities on

July 1.

The festival is located along Kelowna’s Waterfront Park and at Prospera Place. It is a free, multigenerational, family fun

Volunteers are needed to fill several positions including on-site labour needs, traffic control and informational booth personnel. Each volunteer works a shift of four

On-site labour starts at 6 a.m. to help set up different aspects of the festival, from distributing garbage cans, to helping unload musical equipment.

This position requires physically fit volunteers, who are able to carry

heavy objects.

The remaining positions will begin at 10 a.m., 2 p.m. and 6 p.m., to allow time for volunteers to enjoy the festival at their own convenience.

Perry Bruce continued, “Canadian coins prior to 1967, and American coins prior to 1964 are all made with silver, and we have noticed a large increase of customers coming to the Roadshow with coins and cashing them in for their silver value”.

Experts at the Roadshow will evaluate and examine your items, FREE OF CHARGE, as well as educate you on them. The Roadshow sees hundreds of people during a one week event, and they have been travelling across Canada to different cities and towns, searching for your forgotten treasures.

Trains, dolls, toys, old advertising signs, pocket watches, porcelain and bisque dolls, pretty much everything can be sold at the Roadshow. Any early edition Barbie’s are sought after by the Road-

show collectors, as well as a variety of Dinky Toys and Matchbox cars. Lionel Trains and a variety of tin toys can also fetch a price, especially if they are in their original box or in mint condition.

If a collector is looking for one of your collectibles, they can always make an offer to buy it.

A man brought in a 1950’s Marx Tin Toy Robot, in fairly good condition, still in its original box. They were able to locate a collector for that speciÀc toy within minutes, and that gentleman went home with over $700 for his Toy Robot and a few other small toys.

So whether you have an old toy car, a broken gold chain, or a Barbie sitting in the closet, bring it down to the Roadshow, they will take a look at it for FREE and it could put money in your pocket!

See you at the roadshow!

Your best source of community news—the Capital News

UBC Okanagan graduate student Gabriel Newman has created a community-specific show in Kelowna that mixes traditional storytelling and conceptual theatre with a smattering of interactive, home-cooked dinners.

As part of his Creative Studies master’s degree thesis, Newman plays host, chef and actor in his multi-faceted storytelling project called Social Potluck.

Newman is inviting an all-ages cross section of Glenmore residents to participate in five “intimate and casual” evening dinner conversations.

He will glean material from the June dinners for an original work he will write, direct and perform

for Social Potluck participants on July 15 and a public audience on July 16.

“Everyone is a performer with stories to tell,” said Newman, who is working toward his master’s degree in Performance at UBC’s Okanagan campus.

“It is at the dinner table where we learn our family’s story, and where we test and hone our material. Our stories become our identity. Social Potluck celebrates the individual and the community’s ability to perform itself.”

Newman anticipates small, informal dinners in which guests supply a mix of stories—from funny anecdotes and historical tales, to tragedies and

inspirational life lessons —told in a conventional, impromptu or spontaneous way. “It is very much like you’re coming over to my house for dinner,” he said. “Like my guests, I will be both viewer and participant. Everyone has something to bring to the table. Together we will create a live, improvised show about our community.”

Food is a central theme in the project, as well as the item of barter for both the dinners and final performances.

At no cost to his dinner guests, Newman serves home cooking using local ingredients. “It’s a tradeoff,” Newman said. “I provide a dinner, and guests provide me with a story.”

Newman will document those dinner conversations at social potlucks planned for June 10, 11, 12, 17 and 18. Dinners start at 6:30 p.m. and take place in show-room space donated by the developers of the Bridges at Glenview Pond, on Glenview Avenue.

There is no cover charge for Newman’s staged performances (July 15, 7 p.m., for Social Potluck dinner participants and their guests, and July 16, 6 p.m., at St. David’s Presbyterian Church, 271 Glenmore Rd. To join the list of prospective dinner guests/storytellers, contact Newman at 250-260-8757 or by emmail socialpotluck@ gmail.com.

Lincoln MKT offers leather wrapped luxury Rob Beintema CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

CONTRIBUTED

THE 2011 LINCOLN MKT, a made-in-Canada grand tourer, this full-size crossover, as tested, offers Ecoboost fuel-efficient power and a long list of amenities and technologies to rival any competitor in the premium class.

Customers looking for luxury in Grand Touring style can find a made-inCanada solution with the 2011 Lincoln MKT. Built at Ford’s Oakville Assembly plant in Ontario, the MKT starts with some of the same platform pieces as the Ford Flex. But, outside of foundational elements, Fords and Lincolns no longer share sheet metal, so the MKT design stands on its own.

The “T” in the MKT name, stands for “Touring” and Lincoln’s largest crossover was designed to offer three-rows of seat-

ing, leather-wrapped luxury far beyond Flex, and just about all the amenities and technologies known to mankind.

The production version that first came out as a 2010 model, tested here as a 2011 MKT, has not strayed far from that original concept’s theme of “a premium utility that could as easily acvcommodate a businessperson slipping into the back seat on the way to his or her next meeting in the chaos of Manhattan as a family packed up for a weekend getaway to the coast.”

accept two main design features, one up front and the other in back. A massive, split bow wave grille dominates the front face of the MKT. Although this winged grille hearkens back to classics like the ĂĽ39 Zephyr, it is the new familial look of Lincoln, and the grille mounted on the MKT is the largest in the lineup. Sweeping back from the front, the side profile is slab-sided and clean, broken only by in-j signia and a chamfered edge along a shoulder line that is kinked up above the rear fender.

That little kink, reminiscent of the dropped line further forward on the Ford Super Duty, breaks the potential monotony of a long, straight edge and it accents the winged, curbclearing doors and the fender haunches over the rear wheels.

In back, the power liftgate is made from magnesium to save weight and Lincoln designers shaped it in bustle back style, tapered to an almost boat tail point that emphasizes the appearance of a bumperless rear end, a treatment accented by the Lincoln trademark full-width

MOTORING Lincoln from B2 horizontal taillamps.

The rear treatment is strikingly unique and, while it may take some getting used to, what the heck, I always award bonus points for a little styling bravado.

Inside, there’s no argument with a sumptuous and quiet interior, leather-appointed and loaded with an impressive list of standard equipment and available extras.

MKT buyers can choose between six- and seven-passenger models kwith two different secondrow seating configurations. A 60/40 split folding rear bench can be replaced with power “fold and tumble” second-row kbucket or captain’s seats, with heating, cooling and power-assisted lumbar adjustment.

And an optional rear console with cupholders, storage, even a five-quartcapacity refrigerator under the armrest, can be added between the second row seats.

But wait, I’m getting fahead of myself. t Let’s list all the standard features first, a long

list that includes 12-way power memory heated and cooled front seats with power lumbar, a fixed glass Panoramic Vista roof with powered sunshades, keyless pushbutton start, manual sunshades for the second row, tri-zone climate control, power heated mirrors with LED signals, fog lamps, rain-sensing wipers, power liftgate, power adjustable pedals, power tilt/ telescopic steering with cruise, media and audio controls, a rear view camera with reverse sensors, a 110-volt power point and the award-winning Lincoln SYNC voice-activated communications linked to a 10-speaker audio system with 10GB music jukebox.

There’s much more on the standard and optional equipment lists, best explored at leisure on Lincoln’s website.

Under the hood, the MKT offers a choice of two powerplants. A 3.7-litre, 24-valve V6 engine makes 268 hp at 6,500 rpm and 267 lb/ft of torque at 4,250 rpm.

In the old days, Lincoln would probably have offered an optional V8 as

I just don’t have the space to list all the features of the Lincoln MKT although you can see some of the options added to this tester on the pricing listed below.

Yes, the styling is different and the sloping roof does limit headroom in the third row, so the MKT’s boxier Ford Flex cousin, no slouch itself in available options and technology, might also be worth considering, although both designs are so polarizing it really comes down to personal choice.

The Lincoln MKT was a pleasure to drive, marvelously quiet and comfortable, the kind of vehicle that would take all of the stress out of a long cross-country trip. Which is why you will soon be seeing them in limousine livery as they take over from the Town Car. And with an almost limitless slate of standard and optional features, and

THE HIGH-QUALITY leather-appointed interior of the MKT comes in various

colour and texture choices and the acoustically quiet cabin is loaded with standard features and a long list of comfort-enhancing available options. a more potent step up in power.

But now that Ford has rediscovered the power and fuel efficiency rewards of turbocharging, that role has been assumed

by Ford’s Ecoboost lineup, in this case, a twinturbocharged 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 offering V8 power numbers with V6 fuel economy.

This engine, as tested, delivers a class-leading 355 hp at 5,700 rpm.

While not quite up to the original concept’s 415 hp aspirations, it is more than enough of a step up in power to make a difference, also generating 350 lb/ft of torque from 1,500 through 5,250 rpm.

The Lincoln MKT translates that power through a six-speed SelectShift Automatic transmission with paddle shifters on the steering wheel spokes. Ford Canada elected to make all-wheel drive standard across the lineup. The AWD system works seamlessly with a myriad of dynam-

ic technologies to provide a smooth and seamless driving experience.

Also standard on MKT models with EcoBoost, an Electric Power Assist Steering (EPAS) system replaces the traditional hydraulic power steering pump. This intelligent system constantly measures steering input to adapt to changing road conditions and can even compensate for road crowning or crosswinds.

And the EPAS system allows Active Park Assist to offer hands-free parallel parking.

with qualities to rival any competitor, the 2011 Lincoln MKT is a grand tourer worthy of consideration.

The 2011 Nissan 370Z Nismo edition stands as the most powerful production Z ever offered.

With 350 hp, specially tuned suspension, racinginspired styling and super lightweight forged aluminum wheels, the Nismo Z is a vehicle aimed squarely at hard-core auto enthusiasts.

And if their dreams include someday owning the ultimate Nissan performance supercar, the GT-R coupe, it’s not a stretch to think of the 370Z Nismo as Godzilla Jr. or Godzilla Lite.

For those in the know, the GT-R has been nicknamed Godzilla by some auto journalists. Perhaps it’s because the GT-R is a Japanese monster in its own right with a firebreathing twin turbo 485 hp 3.8-litre V6 engine.

With a 0-100 km/h time of three seconds, the GT-R is one of the fastest street cars on the planet, and it comes with a starting price at just a shade under $100K. For less than half that amount, $48,613 (including freight and PDI) for my test 370Z Nismo coupe, you can have racing car performance in another limited production model.

The Nismo Z comes to Canada for 2011 after being available south of the border since 2007. It was developed by Nissan’s Specialty Vehicles Group in conjunction with Autech Japan, a longstanding partner.

The 370Z Nismo is powered by a 3.7-litre DOHC V6 engine and comes in one loaded package. A close ratio sixspeed manual is the only transmission available and it is available in only five exterior colour choices, Hakone White, Airstream, Magnetic Black, Solid Red and Gun Metallic.

The package includes Nissan’s SynchroRev Match that blips the throttle to automatically adjust engine speed when shifting. In effect, SynchroRev Match smoothes out shifts and puts the engine at the ideal speed for any

up/down shift. Perfect for those like me who aren’t experts at heel-and-toe shifting.

While most people would be happy with the basic 370Z Coupe or Roadster, there are those who want just a little more out of their vehicle and the 370Z Nismo is targeted at them.

It gives an 18 hp boost over the base Z (to 350 hp) and peak torque of 276 lb/ ft, an increase of six lb/ft.

Tweaks to the exhaust system and optimized engine computer module (ECM) control result in the added power.

The front-engine, rear-wheel drive 370Z Nismo has a double wishbone front suspension and four-link setup at the rear.

The suspension has been specially tuned to up the handling quotient.

This includes dialing up the stiffness of the front and rear springs, stabilizer bars and increasing the damping factors.

With the suspension adjustments, the Nismo Z is vjust champing at the bit for the next corner you can throw at it.

The stiffness that is tuned into the car allows it to stay firmly planted in the tightest of corners and lets you carry more speed through the twisties.

The downside is a much rougher ride than you get in the base Z. On smooth pavement, the Nismo Z is a delight to drive. However, when you start having to deal with the potholes that envelope our roads each spring, you spend your time weaving all over the road in an effort to keep your fillings intact.

For those who have

driven the GT-R, you know what I mean about a stiff ride.

That’s one reason I think of the 370Z Nismo as Godzilla Jr. But if you can live with the ride, what you have is an affordable sports car that is hard to match performance wise.

A true two-seater, the Nismo Z stops as well as it accelerates thanks to large diameter 14-inch Nismo sport brakes on the front and 13.8-inch vented rear rotors. Also standard is ABS (anti-lock braking system) along with electronic brake force distribution and brake assist.

An aerodynamic body kit, including an extended front nose design, makes the Nismo edition about 157 cm (6.2 inches) longer than the 4,404 mm (173.4 in) base Z. The prominent front spoiler (be careful near any concrete curbs) is both functional and decorative. The body kit also includes special side sills, a rear spoiler and a unique rear bumper that controls airflow under the car.

The interior is distinctive from the base Z with Nismo logo seats with black and red fabric and red stitching.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel also has red stitching. Aluminum trimmed pedals and a Nismo tachometer are other features of this special edition Z, which has a plaque above the floor console showing the car’s serial number and model year designation.

All in all, the interior has a classy, high-quality look, but it’s more basic See Nissan B5

HIGH-QUALITY materials are used in the cabin of

the 2011 Nissan 370Z Nismo edition, but it is more of a muscle car than a luxury sports coupe.

Great Value, Great Mileage...

All in One Package

THE 2011 Nissan 370Z Nismo sits on unique 19inch forged aluminum alloy wheels.

Take a look at our 4 cylinder and Hybrid selection!

Nissan from B4 than luxury.

In true sports car tradition, you feel low to the ground in the comfortable, well-bolstered seats.

The driver’s seat has eight-way manual adjustment settings, the passenger seat four.

This is a driver-oriented car with a deeply scooped instrument panel and a full-length centre console that separate the tdriver and passenger. On the dash to the right of the driver is a three-pod gauge tcluster with oil temperrature, voltmeter and clock.

Punch the start button and the Nismo Z roars to life. It gets up to speed in a hurry when you punch the throttle and stops just as nicely thanks to the special Nismo braking system.

The tuned exhaust has a nice note to it, but at speed the cabin can be tnoisy with significant tire, rengine and exhaust noise, particularly if you have the sound system off.

But the Nismo Z is not meant to be a luxury ride.

It’s a down-and-dirty, high-performance sports coupe that is more akin to the old American muscle car than many of the tuner cars of today.

For most people, including myself, the basic Z Coupe or Roadster would be a fine addition to their driveway. But for the enthusiast, who wants a bit more on the performance side, this is a car that rcan be used as a daily driver and at the track on the weekend if you’re into that. r Two cars in one pretty package, so to speak.

Is there such a thing as the perfect Porsche?

Is it the mighty 911 Turbo? The 4.0-litre GT3 RS? The nimble Cayman S? Or the best selling Porsche model of all, the Cayenne?

This used to be a simple question to answer— the 911 Carrera because it was light, fast and relatively uncomplicated.

But that has all changed with modern technology to the point anyone can drive the 500 hp 911 Turbo because it is so docile - that is, until you get serious.

There are now so many people in the world with vastly differing tastes and needs to the point anyone who invents the Next Great App can afford to buy a Porsche that matches their lifestyle.

It’s also why there are so many more Porsche models these days with more, like the upcoming Cajun, in the pipeline.

It must be eight or 10 years now since I drove a 911 Carrera “lightweight”.

It didn’t have a lot of stuff, just a rear-drive base 911 with a couple of extras like carbon brake rotors.

That thing was so quick and tight and was a pleasure to drive. Most of all it was the light, but positive, feel of the steering that endeared it to me and remains to this day, the single best Porsche I ever drove.

When I heard about the new 911 Carrera GTS, I became very interested.

The GTS is, in spirit, from the same mindset—a driver’s sportscar, not a luxury car with sporting intentions.

This is a simple Porsche but do not confuse simple with uncomplicated. By simple, I mean it follows the classic Porsche layout of engine at the rear driving the rear wheels with the front suspension engineered for precision handling.

The “flat” or “boxer” horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine is the

equipped with a rear wing that is functional and deploys at 75 mph. It can be over ridden by a switch on the centre stack.

PORSCHE 911 CARRERA GTS for 2011 is a pure driver’s car that goes light on luxury but heavy on performance, and above all, handling. and torque-optimized geometry, whereas in a Carrera S power unit there is only one tuning flap.

The GTS comes standard with a six-speed manual (as tested) or the seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) as an option.

In comparison to the Carrera S, the top speed of the GTS with manual transmission rises by 2 mph to 190 mph.

If there is one styling element that sets Porsches apart it is the

wide, voluptuous rear fenders. The GTS is the only member of the Carrera 2 family to get the 44 millimetre wider body of the all-wheel drive Carrera 4 models including widened rear track.

The GTS is finished in classic Porsche white with the “Carrera GTS” badge being small and discreetly placed on each door panel and the rear valance panel.

One other sure way of spotting a GTS is the wheels and tires. It sits

on 19-inch centre-locking RS Spyder alloy wheels, painted in black with highgloss finished rims, with 235/35 ZR 19 tires on the front axle and 305/30 ZR 19 tires on the rear.

I hesitated to call the interior minimalistic what with a Bose sound system and an optional navigation/infotainment system. The interior is done in all black with driver and passenger sport seats covered with black Alcantara.

Timely summer tips for your new driver

By Kate Wells, DriveWise BC

driver look well ahead down the road. A good rule is for them to be seeing what is going on at least a full block ahead. Have them talk to you while they are driving. Ask them what they are seeing. An example is: “I see a bus pulled over to the side of the road” or “I see a pedestrian waiting to cross the street” or “I see a car backing out of their driveway.”

As their co-driver you will be able to help them react appropriately.

3. Scan Every Intersection, L/C/R – The most important letters in learning to drive through an intersection. They stand for LEFT, CENTRE and RIGHT. Have your new driver scan EVERY in-

Summer is a time when many new drivers get out and start to hone their skills.

Here are a few timely tips for the beginner driver!: 1. Choose an Appropriate Area – Find an area that has a few parked cars, a slow speed and fairly straight roads without blind curves or hills. Your residential area is generally good as new drivers will be familiar with the surroundings.

2. Keeping Your New Driver Centred in Their Lane – Practice having your new

tersection (with traffic lights and without).

The scan should be completed before they enter the intersection. If they are stopped at a red light, always have your new driver scan L/C/R once the light turns green and BEFORE they enter the intersection. This allows for a brief pause before entering the intersection which is a potentially life saving move. Most cars running a yellow or red light would have been through by the time your new driver enters.

Consider having a professional driving school teach your new driver these life saving skills so you can be practicing the proper life-saving techniques with them.

MOTORING Porsche from B8 Alcantara is used wherever driver and passenger come into direct contact with the vehicle; such as on the rim of the new three-spoke SportDesign steering wheel and on the gear lever and handbrake.

The steering wheel with its â&#x20AC;&#x153;fuzzyâ&#x20AC;? suede-like feel is just the right thickness. With no all-wheeldrive to numb response, the sensations coming from the front suspension to the hands is delightful.

In a week with the car, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the radio was on once. The GTS is anything but whisper quiet.

Turn the key and the big six gives a grunt and then throbs into life. Stab the gas and it does not send the tack needle racing to the redline and that is one of the secrets that makes driving a Porsche, especially one like the GTS, so enjoyable.

It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long to realize that knowing how to use as little or most of the abundant power with the proper gear selection is how to savour the experience.

You also quickly learn tthat the handling and grip is there for you to make the most out of (which you will) and that, friends, is what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about.

Say what you want about double wishbone suspension but Porsche has made a virtue of MacStruts at the front and an independent link system at the rear.

The GTS is tested here came with an interesting ($1,090) sport chassis option that basically drops the car 20 mm for a lower centre of gravity.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to tell you I noticed the difference but when it came to turning and exiting corners, this car went exactly where intended and with a sensation of being almost glued to the road.

The 2011 Porsche Carrera GTS starts life at $117,600. As tested it came with a lot of options such as the Bose sound system ($1,650) and navigation system ($2,410) I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want. There were some small GTSĂŁonly options such as red seatbelt straps at $620 for a grand total of $129,225 including a shipping fee of $1,085.

As readers can guess, I came away having really enjoyed this car which is why I got thinking whether this is the perfect Porsche?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll let you decided for yourself, but the 911 GTS tested here is as close to what the essence of Porsche is all about as you can find.

And if that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

fill the bill, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fourwheel-drive version of the GTS coming in fall.

So just what is the perfect Porsche is a question that just keeps evolving.

PORSCHE 911 CARRERA GTS 2011

Body Style: Performance coupe.

Drive Method: rearengine, rear-wheel-drive.

Engine: 3.8-litre, DOHC â&#x20AC;&#x153;boxerâ&#x20AC;? six-cylinder (408 hp, 310 lb/ft) Fuel Economy: Six-speed manual, 11.6/7.9L/100 km (24/36 mpg) city/highway.

Price: Base, $117,600, as tested, $129,225 including $1,085 shipping charge.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.: Volkswagen is intent on growing its car business in North America and has put its money where its hopes lie.

A new (US) $1.1 billion assembly plant was officially opened in late May in Chattanooga, Tenn. to build the redesigned 2012 Passat sedan.

Undoubtedly, the plant that sits on nearly 1,400 acres just outside the city of Chattanooga, will build other vehicles on its flexible assembly line in the near future. But for the time being, it is the sole source of all North American production of the mid-size 2012 Passat.

When in full gear, the 2.5-million-sq.-ft. facility will be churning out 31 cars an hour with the potential for 150,000 units a year. With a few modifications the current structure could produce 250,000 units with expansion possibilities to take it up to 500,000 a year.

The new Passat will arrive at Canadian dealerships in late September and it has been tailored to the North American buyer, said John White, president of Volkswagen Canada at Passat.

Larger in every way than the previous Passat which was last sold here as a 2010 model, the 2012 Passat has the longest wheelbase among its core competitors and has bestin-class interior room.

While it is classified as mid-size, in reality it is more like a full-size car. But what is most intriguing is the price. Starting at $23,975 in Canada, the new Passat is $3,800 cheaper than the outgoing model and $7,000 less than in 2008.

Volkswagen hopes to sell about 8,000 of them a year in Canada, a huge jump from the 3,644 combined Passat and Passat CC units that were sold for the2010 model year.

The Passat, along with the Golf, Jetta and Tiguan will make up 90 per cent of Volkswagen Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall volume, said White. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe that with a full portfolio, the VW brand has the opportunity to do Mazda and Nissan volumes in Canada,â&#x20AC;? said White, noting the company is on pace to sell about 53,000 vehicles here this year, up from 45,000 in 2010.

While small cars dominate in Canada, the midsize or intermediate class is key to the U.S. car market. So for Volkswagen, the Passatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success is important and part of a new strategy, which involves building cars in the markets where they are sold.

Fully 85 per cent of all components of the new Jetta are sourced from North American suppliers, helping eliminate currency fluctuations and import duties, both of which play havoc with the pricing.

MOTORING VW from B10

diesel comes at a $2,600 premium over the 2.5-litre model.

There are four trim linesã Trendline, Trendline Plus, Comfortline and Highline.

Even at the base level, features such as electronic stability control, dual zone climate control, multifunction steering wheel, multifunction trip computer and leather wrapped steering wheel, shift knob and hand brake lever are all standard.

During a drive from Chattanooga to Nashville that took us along highspeed freeways and meandering back roads, we drove through historic Lynchburg, home of the world-famous Jack Daniels whisky. En route I had an opportunity to drive both the TDI and V6 mod-

comes to Canada with a wide choice of powertrains and trim levels, with prices topping out at $37,475 for a V6 Highline with automatic transmission.

It is expected about 90 per cent of overall voltume will be split between a 2.5-litre five-cylinder gasoline engine (170 hp, 177 lb/ft of torque) and a 2.0-litre turbo diesel (140 hp, 236 lb/ft of torque).

The 2.5-litre will be offered with a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic, while the 2.0L diesel comes with a sixspeed manual or sixspeed DSG automatic, the tonly transmission available with the 3.6-litre V6 (280 hp, 256 lf/ft of torque). The TDI clean

city and highway situations.

The independent suspension soaks up all but the stiffest jolts with a ride that is geared more to a family car than a sports sedan.

For those who haven’t experienced the new breed of diesel engines, it’s amazing how quiet and clean the new ones are. Take one out for a test drive and see for yourself.

If fuel economy is high on your wish list, there’s no need to go the more expensive hybrid route to get amazing results.

Styling-wise, the new Passat is pleasant and elegant to look at, but it doesn’t break new ground like the eye-popping 2011 Hyundai Sonata. The front end features a grille

Of the two, the TDI would definitely be my choice. Fuel economy for that car is estimated at 6.5L/100 km city and 4.5L/100 km highway, and some of my colleagues were able to match that highway figure during their travels.

One of the reasons for the high hopes Volkswagen has for the new Passat is that although it is German engineered, it is built with a North American audience in mind.

It is a bigger car allround with lots of interior room, good trunk capacity (430 litres), and features like larger seats, more cup holders and Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity.

The steering is light and precise and the car is easy to manoeuvre in both

with three chrome crossbars and the ubiquitous VW logo but it has a bit of a squared-off look that may polarize opinion.

Although the price has been dropped considerably from previous Passats, the interior is still nicely finished. There is a bit of a grainy look to some of the trim pieces, but it is soft to the touch and the Nut burl wood trim on the Highline model adds a touch of elegance.

For audiophiles, a killer Fender premium audio system is available.

Developed in association with Panasonic, the eightspeaker, 400-watt system is standard on Highline and optional on Comfortline trims.

Fender brings its expertise in making top-of-

the-line guitars and amplifiers to the table in this system that is exclusive to Volkswagen.

With this new Passat, Volkswagen clearly has its sights set on taking away market share from the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Mazda6, and market leaders like the Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata, Chevrolet Malibu and Nissan Altima. Add to mix the redesigned 2011 Kia Optima that is now coming to market and the mid-size segment becomes even more competitive.

Volkswagen has taken the redesigned 2011 Jetta down market from previous offerings and it has played a huge part in Volkswagen Canada’s 19 per cent sales increase to date in 2011. The Jetta alone

makes up 48 per cent of all VW Canada business.

With the Jetta’s success, repositioning the price point of the Passat in North America may be the key to Volkswagen making further inroads into the mid-size segment.
