▼ DRIVE-BY SHOOTING

Police shoot down gang war claims Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Reminiscent of violent crimes in urban centres, a Tuesday night drive-by shooting on downtown streets has unnerved Kelowna residents. “It was just so close, and that stuff doesn’t usually happen here,” said an employee of an Abbott Street business, who asked not to be named. “It’s pretty scary,” added Ami Catriona, of the Gospel Mission, which was just half a block away from the shooting that happened as their clients were lining up for their evening meal. “Like any other business, we are concerned about safety.” More are looking at the crime with a more jaundiced eye, saying it’s just another sign of a changing, and less safe,

Okanagan Valley. On a local Internet forum dedicated to the topic, dozens are airing their fears and speculating that it’s a gang crime, or that it’s more evidence that violence from Vancouver and Albertan hubs is moving to B.C.’s Interior. Whether the shooting had ties to organized crime remains to be seen, but Const. Steve Holmes explained panic should be set aside. “It bothers us when these things happen in public, but we don’t see it as the prelude to an epidemic,” he said. “We don’t have any intelligence to suggest that there is a turf war or anything like that. There are reasons for concern when people are getting bold See Police A8

Weather is playing havoc with wine grape crop Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Grape growers and wine makers are doing the sun dance in their vineyards this September in an attempt to encourage it to come out from behind the clouds and improve the maturity of grapes suffering from colderthan-normal weather. However, meteorologist Doug Lundquist of Environment Canada’s local weather office, doesn’t hold out much hope that there’ll be a significant warming trend as we move into autumn. In fact, he says, in the past 90-day period the temperatures overall have been .4 C above normal, although they were normal the past couple of weeks in August, and have dropped below normal in September. But, grape growers point out that May and June were cold and wet,

so things got off to kind of a slow start in the vineyards of the valley. July was hot and dry, but wine grapes require heat units to achieve optimum flavours, sugar and acidity levels. Lundquist said next week temperatures are expected to be similar to this week, with more sun appearing, but that would be normal for next week, rather than above normal. While temperatures of 21 C would be normal, the forecast is for the mercury to go up to 17 to 21 C next week, he said. Looking further out, he said the three-week probabilistic forecast is for a 60 per cent chance of a cooler and wetter than normal period of weather. And, in the longer term, we are heading into a La Nina affect, which in Western Canada usually means winter will be a degree or two below normal. In the last number of

THE COOLER FALL weather has Kelowna wine grape growers seeing their crop coming in later than usual this year. years, we have frequently gone from an El Nino effect, of warmer winters, to a La Nina (its counterpart) effect the next winter. However, it would be December before we would begin to notice the effects of that southern Pacific Ocean cooling trend, he explained. At best, it could mean a more-normal winter

here, instead of the warmer-than-normal winters we’ve been experiencing since the mid-1980s, he added. Long-time Kelowna grape grower Doug Sperling said temperatures have been high enough to ripen the popular, locally-bred, blue Coronation table grapes, which he was busy picking in his

Mission-area vineyard this week. However, he’s concerned that his wine grapes are three weeks behind where they were last year. One option for grape growers desperate to ripen the fruit is to drop crop in order to reduce the plant’s workload and encourage it to focus all its energy on

the remaining fruit. “That gives later varieties of grapes a chance to ripen up the fruit,” Sperling explained. Heat units are needed for wine grapes, particularly some of the later-ripening red grape varietals such as cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon. Growers with late reds are desperate now for bet-

ter weather, noted Sperling. Vines didn’t catch up over the summer from the late spring, he said. Even growers south of the border in Oregon’s Williamette Valley say the grapes in that area are several weeks late ripening this year. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Demand for Gospel Mission’s services on the upswing Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Some have called it a year of economic recovery, but those at the Gospel Mission have had a slightly different view of the last 12 months. This summer their services were in higher demand than ever before, and for the month of August alone, over 12,000 meals were served up. “Part of it had to do with the Drop-in Centre being closed,” said Ami Catriona, the mission’s communication manager. The Drop-in Centre, on Leon Avenue, was

closed last March when its funding evaporated. Until then they fed numerous people in the downtown, offering up nearly 80,000 meals in 2009. Now, the funding for that service along much of the clientele the centre once had, have moved to the Gospel Mission. But, Catriona stressed that’s not the only reason for more traffic. “The other reason why we’re busier is that there are a lot more families and working poor coming through our doors,” said Catriona. “There are a lot more people right at the poverty line, and they have enough money for rent and utilities, but not enough for food. So we’ve

been trying to make it a good place for families.” With families in mind, Catriona and the staff at the Mission are preparing to head into their busiest season. “Thanksgiving is by far our biggest event,” said Catriona. “Last year we had just shy of 600 people come for a meal, this year we are estimating we’ll have to feed around 700.” To that end, they’re rounding up cash for 300 turkeys, and turning to the public to get a boost. The Mission, in partnership with Save On Foods, is having a Turkey Drive on Oct. 2, from 9 a.m to 5 p.m., just in time for Thanksgiving, and the very busy holiday season.

They are also encouraging local businesses, civic and school groups and organizations to get involved and challenge each other to help them reach their goal of 300 donated turkeys. Catriona offered a few suggestions on how to make giving as painless as possible. “Consider a donation jar in your staff room—and the company matches donations collected. There’s partial proceeds from a particular service or product, a company raffle or 50-50 draw, a reada-thon, bake sale, bottle drive, even a garage sale. There are lots of ways to help.” To learn more, call Catriona at 250-7363737, ext. 207.

Also, hang onto the synopsis booklet because it’s unchanged for next year and I’ve heard they’re not printing more. The good news is that the open season for whitetailed deer is now standardized across the province, wherever white-tails exist. Wildlife biologist Brian Harris with the Okanagan office of the environment ministry explained they’re a very productive species of deer who often have twins or even triplets, and they can even breed as fawns, he notes. The standardization means there is now a doe season here and the buck season now extends from Sept. 10, to a week later, Nov. 30. The new antlerless season is Oct. 10 to 31. And, there’s a new, later youth season, Nov. 1 to Nov. 30, for either sex. There have also been some changes to mule deer seasons, with the any-buck season shortened. On the 20th it changes to the four-point-only, which ends Nov. 10. There are also some changes to the youth seasons. But the most controversial changes are in moose season, with spikefork bulls not opening until Oct. 15 now instead of the usual Sept. 20, and closing Nov. 15 instead of Oct. 31. Harris said there are concerns about the number actually harvested in the past few years, compared to the target number

THIS MULE DEER doe browsing at the side of the road is, perhaps, unaware that hunting season opens today, but she’s safe as it’s only mule deer bucks that are open to hunting. In fact, there are no open seasons for mule does, although a new white-tailed doe season opens Oct. 10 in the Okanagan. of the ministry’s management model. He speculated that either the model is off, and moose in this area of the province don’t grow antlers beyond the spike fork as young as those further north, or there are more Shirasii moose in this area, or impacts of breeding with that smaller moose species here. Either way, he says the management target of maintaining 30 bulls for every 100 cows at the end of the hunting season is not being met. Inventories done by air in 2003, 2004 and 2005 verified that concern, and he’s hoping he can get money earmarked for another flight this winter to update that information. He feels the reduction in numbers of immature

bulls could be partly due to the impacts of mountain pine beetle, and the logging effort to control the pest. He says in the short term, the open logged areas they frequent makes them more vulnerable to hunters, although in the long term, he says de-forestation will provide them with more browse. Although many hunters contest his conclusions, Harris said he knows the current harvest level is taking the maximum number of immature bulls for optimum management of the population, and he’s concerned we’re over-harvesting. Ideally, he noted, at least half the population of that age class of bull moose would have three tines, taking them out of the harvest, but here in the

Okanagan, he doesn’t believe they are growing horns at that rate, leaving more with spike-forks, or two tines. The other big change in this year’s regulations is the increase in fall turkey hunting opportunities including in the KelownaWinfield area, M.U. 8-10. If you have an interest or concerns about fish or game management; if you’d like to meet others with similar interests in fishing and hunting activities, you should join a local fish and game club. They’re always interested in meeting new people willing to pitch in to improve habitat, lobby for changes in regulations, put on social events and help each other. There are a number of clubs in this area, including the Oceola Fish and

Game Club, which maintains a clubhouse and rifle range in the Lake Country area. Go to the website for information, at: www. oceola.ca and click on the membership link. The Black Mountain Sportsman’s Club also welcomes new volunteers to “help keep hunting alive in B.C.,” says president Chuck Hardy. Call Owen Bach at 8606365 if you’re interested.

People brave the elements to seek free legal advice Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Murky skies didn’t stop Kelowna residents from heading to City Park Wednesday afternoon but for that day only, the appeal was less landscape, more litigious. Access Pro Bono Society of B.C. pitched a tent at the Leon Avenue entrance of the park and held an Advice-A-Thon, offering free legal guidance to people who have little or no money to navigate the costly, often-prohibitive legal process. “We’ve been dealing with a wide range of issues,” said Michelle Quigg of the non-profit group, noting that nearly 30 Kelowna residents came down to get some one on one time with lawyers who volunteered their time. “We’ve seen everything from family law —where there are custody issues and division of assets—to criminal law, residential tenancy issues and employment law.” While the problems lumped into those categor-

ies were once dealt with in a less public forum, Quigg explained that access to legal help has diminished drastically since the B.C. Liberals took office in 2002.

‘‘

PEOPLE SAY, ‘WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR MY NEIGHBOUR’S LAWYER? Michelle Quigg

In their first two years as government, they cut free legal services by 40 per cent. In recent months, they continued on with cuts, dismantling the law line, a legal advice phone service. It was supposed to offset the cuts that happened years earlier. “We’re just a small non-profit, but access to justice is a huge societal issue that needs to be government funded,” said Quigg. “It’s picking on

the vulnerable — battered women who need advice and are afraid to lose their families if they leave, or people on disability who have labour issues. “People say, ‘Why should I pay for my neighbour’s lawyer?’ But the issues we deal with are social issues that should concern everyone.” While Access Pro Bono only holds their outdoor events once a year, they have clinics throughout the province and the Okanagan Advocacy and Resource Society offers a conduit to their services, which executive director Tish Lakes said are greatly needed in the valley. “One of the things we notice is that the court system is intimidating, and it’s difficult (for many) to approach a lawyer,” she said. Lakes added that the stem that leaves many in the lurch now that services have been stripped. “We have a case of a vacuum salesman in Kelowna, who was selling contracts to seniors, promising to deliver and then not delivering,” she said.

SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS

JAMIE MACLAREN, executive director Access Pro Bono Society of B.C., and 15 local lawyers were set up at City Park offering Pro Bono law services to low income clients on Wednesday. Numerous people fell prey to his scam, but without access to legal services many of those he ripped off were left out of cash and unsure of what to do next.

“It wasn’t until his scam crossed into the domain of fraud, which is a criminal offense, that the police took the lead, and the man had to deal with their resources.

“If you stay on the other side of that line, you can take advantage of a lot of vulnerable people, and they need to know they can contact someone if they need to.”

Bears get into fatal trouble in West Kelowna Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Two black bears in West Kelowna had to be put down by conservation officers this past week because they were causing damage to fruit trees in orchards along Powers Creek. Conservative Officer Ed Seitz said there have been a number of in-

cidents of human interactions with black bears in the Kelowna area in the past week or two. He blames it on people who leave out attractants such as garbage and on ripe fruit not cleaned up around trees. Complaints have come in from the East Kelowna area, the MacKenzie bench in Rutland, and the Glenrosa area in West Ke-

lowna, he said. Interface areas are the worst, because they are close to bears’ natural habitat. With healthy populations of black bears in the Okanagan, it doesn’t take much for them to be attracted into residential areas when they’re fattening up in preparation for winter hibernation, he explained. “As soon as they re-

ceive a food reward, they’ll be back. So, if you let them get into garbage or fruit once, they’ll be back,” said Seitz. “They have a keen sense of smell and a good memory for food sources that have been productive for them in the past. “So, it’s important not to let them have that first reward. Once they become habituated they as-

sociate the scent of people with food,” he said. Wildlife are unpredictable, so there’s no telling when they might become dangerous once they’re not afraid of people any more, he added. One of the bears put down this week was a large, dark brown boar, weighing about 400 pounds. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Other anti-gravel pit communities rally behind Peachland Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER

A rally planned for Peachland is drawing representatives from other small communities to praise the Okanagan town for its stance against a gravel pit operation. Co-organizer Glen Thompson, of Friends of the Chilliwack River Valley, said the group is hoping for representatives from at least half a dozen other small communities at the Sept. 11 rally. Group members live in area E of the Fraser Valley Regional District, where a proposed gravel mine will

be situated. “Our area is pretty as a peach too, it’s a beautiful little touristy recreation area.” Thompson said the section of the Fraser River is one of the most heavily used fishing spots in the province. An aggregate pilot project in the area is facing opposition similar to that faced by a gravel pit operation in Peachland. He pointed to Texeda Island as another area with gravel issues, where small communities are crossing paths with mining operations. “Most of them are tourist areas with low populations. We get

bullied by the province because we’re viewed as weak and powerless, but we’re actually not.” Thompson said the group is hoping that the people of Peachland get the recognition they deserve, as a brave little community standing up against some big players. He noted aggregate pilot projects are being placed too much from the perspective of business and the aggregate miners, without a balance of consideration for the environment and local bylaws. Co-organizer Walter Neufeld said he did not know how many people would materialize for the Saturday rally, but indications of attendance had been received from people across B.C. “We’re cautiously optimistic.” Neufeld said Peachland’s example highlights the problems caused by the Mines Act, when the ministry issues permits for

COMMUNITY MEMBERS in Lake Errock rally against aggregate mining, in a similar fashion to the upcoming rally planned for Peachland on Sept. 11. Neufeld said the group is hoping all of the communities adversely affected by the Mines Act will have representatives out on Saturday. “We need to stop conflict gravel mining in B.C.” Peachland recently crossed paths with the ministry of mines when the province issued a per-

mit for a gravel pit operation on McDougald Road. The operation contravened local bylaws on the removal of soil. Work at the pit was halted under threat of a court injunction from Peachland. The operation owners agreed to halt work on the site until the local bylaw gets a judicial review.

the community of Sumas Mountain in the Fraser Valley Regional District, where the B.C. Ministry of Mines issued a permit for a rock crushing operation in 2001 despite a bylaw against such operations. He said when the ministry faced legal action from the FVRD, the electoral area H was annexed by the city of Abbotsford. While mines operate in the Fraser Valley against local bylaws, Neufeld said the regional district there does not enforce the rules. “It’s extremely frustrating for those communities, just like Peachland. Without enforcement, bylaws mean nothing.” Neufeld said the rally organizers are excited to meet the community of Peachland, and thank Mayor Keith Fielding and the city for the position it has taken. “The mayor is a bit of a hero in our eyes. He’s a good guy and we wish him well.”

mining that circumvent local bylaws. “I think it’s very important what’s going on there, because that’s happening in other districts as well.” The view of the organizers is that the ministry is trying to control the ability of local communities to put in place bylaws that affect their own sensibilities. “Peachland has a preexisting bylaw, which gives them the legal right to control where gravel mining can happen.” In Neufeld’s view, the bylaw is being disregarded. Organizers believe the ministry is working behind the scenes to negotiate a solution, rather than allowing the situation to be decided in law courts. He has no doubt that Peachland would come out the victor in a legal challenge. Neufeld pointed to

an older, dark coloured SUV pulled up beside a Grey Nissan sedan and fired numerous shots. By the time Mounties arrived, both vehicles fled, but police located the Nissan, a short while later, at Kelowna General Hospital, where the 27-year-old driver was being treated for a non life-threatening

gunshot wound. The Edmonton resident is known for criminal code and drug related offenses, and was later released, offering little information to police. The suspect vehicle was later recovered, burned, in West Kelowna. The details, though sparse, are dramatic

and it’s not unusual that they’re conjuring up fear, unfounded or not, said Christopher Schneider, an assistant professor of sociology at UBC Okanagan. “Is ‘big city’ moving in, is violent crime on the rise? When we look at the data, crime has been decreasing in this country since the mid-1990s,”

Schneider said. “But people are afraid because it’s a violent crime, so it gets spotlighted and people ask questions and get into a frenzy about it.” Typically, these kinds of things are isolated events, said Schneider, and they tend to be rare. “With crime, we tend to be reactive rather than proactive,” he said. “A crime like this happens, and part of the reaction is to panic, but we need to be proactive.” To that end, he pointed to working towards diminishing the opportunity for further crimes, offering up ideas like the gun registry, more beat officers, or street lights. That said, stopping crimes like Tuesday’s is more difficult to do. “We’re speculating— we don’t have the information that will allow us to make a decision about whether it was isolated, or not of if it’s reminiscent of a particular gang,” he said, adding that it’s not the style of the perceived crime organization believed to have deep roots in Kelowna. “If the police gave us more information then we could make more informed decisions to handle ourselves in every day life.” kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Ear infections irritating to dogs and owners Police respond to

’ve decided to dedicate my column today to one of the most irritating conditions dogs owners have to deal with—ear infections. I am deliberately writing infections in plural because this condition tends to be chronic and bother both the dog and the owner off and on over a period of years. The ear is divided to three parts. Inner ear, middle ear and the external ear, which consist of the ear canal and ear flap. The most common infection is of the external ear, a condition called otitis externa. Some breeds, such as cocker spaniels, poodles, retrievers, terriers, and shar-peis seem more prone to ear infections but they may occur in any breed. Ear infection can be caused by either bacteria or yeast, some conditions promote ear infection such as moisture, especially in swimmers. Anatomical factors

FURRY FRIENDS

Dr. Moshe Oz such as a narrow ear canal or presence of hair in the canal can also promote infection. Presence of a foreign body leads to infection as well. Here in the Okanagan there is massive growth of spear grass, which tends to penetrate dog’s ears and paws. But did you know that chronic/intermittent ear infection is usually a symptom of another underlying condition, which might be completely not related to the ears themselves? The main underlying cause for ear infections is actually an allergy. Dogs can be allergic to many things, but you will be shocked to know how many dogs are allergic to

their food. Even if they have been fed the same food for years, dogs might still develop food allergies as adults. Food allergy can be manifested by ear infection sometimes as a sole symptom. Another common symptom along with the ear infection is licking the paws. Low function of the thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) is also a common cause for ear infections. You might spend years trying to treat your dog’s ears, but without treating the primary cause you will never be able to permanently cure the infection. If your dog is suffering from an ongoing ear issue get it checked by a veterinarian. A dog with ear infections is miserable. His ear canals are sensitive. He

by spreading of the infection to the middle and inner ear due to rupturing of the ear drum, this condition can lead to permanent damage. If your dog is suffering from an ear infection take it to be checked by a veterinarian. The infection should be treated by local otic (ear) drops but chronic cases need to be approached in a wider manner. Consult you veterinarian about the various tests available for identification of underlying disease. Without proper diagnosis of the cause, treatments will not be completely successful.

An apparent attempt to steal a vehicle led Kelowna RCMP to a Kelowna residence near Bernard and Gordon on Tuesday at 7:15 a.m., Police responded to a call and arrested a 35-year-old Kelowna resident who was still inside the car, after seeing that the ignition had been damaged, that there was crack cocaine in plain view, along with break-in tools and a can of bear spray inside the car. Although further investigation revealed to police that the vehicle had not been reported as stolen, the registered owner told police he had parked his vehicle several blocks from where police found it and that he had not given anyone permission to drive it. The suspect, who is known to police for criminal code related offences, was to appear in court Thursday to face charges of possession of stolen property over $5,000, possession of break-in instruments and possession of a controlled substance.

shakes his head often in an effort to get the debris and fluid out, and scratches his ears. The ears often become red and inflamed and develop an offensive odor. A dark brown or yellowish discharge commonly occurs. The infection can occur in both or only one ear. The infection is a source of constant pain resulting in head shaking and scratching. However, that is not the only problem. Head shaking and scratching can also cause broken blood vessels in the ear flap, requiring surgery. Chronic ear infection can lead to thickening of the skin to a point that the canal becomes obstructed and a corrective surgery is required. Chronic ear infections can also get complicated

NEWS ▼ POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION

Teenagers in Canada choosing to drop out continues to be concern

his week, the Canadian Education Statistics Council reported that one in five Canadian teens between the ages of 15 and 19 did not pursue a formal education in 2008. These numbers are high, especially when compared to the other 31 countries that are included in the Organiza-

SCHOOL’S IN

Christine Ulmer tion for Economic Co-operation and Development (OCED).

Watch for it in * today’s paper

* In selected areas only

In fact, the only OCED countries with higher percentages of teens not in school were Australia, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Norway. The average for OCED countries was 15 per cent—significantly lower than Canada’s rate of approximately 20 per cent. In addition to analyzing the 2008 figures, the report also looked at the decade-long trend. Since 1998, the OCED average of teens not in school decreased by five per cent. So for most nations, the outlook is positive. More students in their teens are staying in school—well, except for Canada. Our rate of participation stayed the same. While the report acknowledges significant variances in participation rates based on geography—New Brunswick was below the OCED average and well below the Canadian average with only 14 per cent of teens in the province not pursuing a formal education— I can’t help but wonder how teen education rates fare in the Okanagan. If you watched the news this week, picked up a paper or drove slowly though a school zone, you would have noticed it was back-to-school week. I was one of many drivers who underestimated the time it would take me to get to work on Tuesday—despite knowing it was the first day of school—after all, I do work at Okanagan College. By the time most students get to Okanagan College they are on their way out of the teen years. We do have access to programming for dual credit students and those in high school but for the most part, our learners are on the upper end of the demographic the Canadian Education Statistics Council reported on. What we know about our students at Okanagan College is they are coming in larger numbers than ever. With the start of the fall semester underway

we have a pretty good idea of the number of students who will attend Okanagan College this year. Due to the vast array of programs in different areas, not all programs start in the fall so it is difficult to get the full picture but this is what we do know. If we take a snapshot of current enrolment and compare it to the same time frame last year, Okanagan College is up approximately 19 per cent in registrations. When you look at the past five years, the growth trend has been up 65 per cent since 2005. So at a time when teen participation in formal education has remained lower than many other nations, it would seem that students in this region are finding a way to get the education they need for entry into programs that they want at college. Some of those students who enrol are part of the 80 per cent of teens who did participate in formal education. Others may not have finished high school but got the education they needed through Adult Academic and Career Preparation programs. These programs allow students to meet admission requirements without a dogwood. As Canada seeks to improve upon secondary and post-secondary education rates, a vital part of developing an educated and skilled population is to recognize the importance of providing learners with opportunities to engage in education. Whether it be offering programs and courses that are of interest and add value to learners, extra curricular activities that keep students interested or opportunities for students to achieve their goals regardless of whether they were part of the 20 per cent or the 80 per cent in their teen years—access to education is key. Fortunately for students in this region, there is an abundance of opportunity. Christine Ulmer is a manager in Okanagan College’s Public Affairs Bureau.

cars. “Ninety-five per cent of road crashes are because of driver error,” Lovegrove said. “So if we can get the driver out of the car, we know we can reduce crashes.” Making that transition, however, is a tricky one. Quoted this week in a Globe and Mail article, the professor weighed in on Vancouver’s controversial decision to close a lane of the Burrard Street Bridge to build separate bike lanes.

STAFF REPORTER

PROFESSOR GORDON LOVEGROVE, seen here standing in front of the new

engineering building at the UBCO campus, will develop the world’s first sustainable road safety research lab focused on transportation beyond the motor vehicle. Those who use the lab can skip learning the regression and high-level statistical software, data extraction geographic information software, and the data manipulation and management software needed to produce the same results. “I came to my PhD as someone who had worked in government for 20 years and wanted to do something that was useful for those working in the field,” said Lovegrove, who has worked for local governments in Kelowna, Vancouver and Langley. For city planners and councils, the lab should provide a measure of accountability in that it sets a statistically valid benchmark for issues that are not easily quantifiable today.

“When a developer comes before council, I would love to be able to say to them, you will reduce collisions by this much per year, saving our community half a million, a million dollars per year in crash claims if you tweak your development this much,” Lovegrove said. And for the average citizen, those tweaks could have a huge impact as well. Road crashes are the number one killer of people aged six months to 45 and garner their own Coroner’s report, published annually by ICBC, with commentary on how the year’s fatalities stacked up against other years. “More productive years of life are lost to road crashes than cancer

between the ages of six months and 45,” he said. “There’s not 200 people in a hanger somewhere identifying loved ones, but people are dying and people are grieving for them,” Lovegrove said. Research conducted by agencies like the U.S. Transportation Research Board has already shown taking people out of cars reduces the overall number of fatalities drastically. In the Netherlands, where cycling is a predominant form of transportation, there are certainly more cyclists killed on roadways, Lovegrove said. But if one looks at the number of people killed in collisions overall, the number of fatalities is also drastically lower because fewer people are driving

What’s the difference between those who know about Section 237 of the Income Tax Act of Canada versus those who don’t?

THE MONTH

When Kelowna’s sustainable road safety research lab opens next year, it will be the first of its kind in the world. UBCO assistant professor Gordon Lovegrove says the trick to reducing accident fatalities is to direct more people out of their cars and into more sustainable modes of transportation, like walking and cycling. And he’s building a lab to help prove it. The plan is to take an electric bike and, using a staff of graduate students and engineers, start experimenting on Kelowna’s roadways. “We’re going to look at pedestrians. We’re going to look at bicycles. We’re going to look at all the things that traditionally, when we talk about road safety, engineers and planners aren’t necessarily looking at,” said Lovegrove. The idea of the lab is to take a more proactive approach to road safety and help those working in the civil service to accurately predict the number of accident fatalities a given road network, cycling and pedestrian plan will create without the planner having to understand all of the complexities at play. As such, he’s developing a computer model which will eventually operate 24-7 and offer results accessible from anywhere in the world.

While trips across the bridge by bike have increased by 24 per cent, Lovegrove is quoted as saying their million rider milestone (reached last month) isn’t nearly enough. The key to cycler safety, he says, is developing a critical mass of cyclists in

As a member of the Standing Committee on International Trade, one of the criticisms I’ve heard leveled at MPs by trade representatives and government officials from other countries is that Canadian government officials don’t travel enough. In fact, in many countries it’s understood that making the effort to visit and meet with other government officials indicates your country is interested in doing business with their country. Taking the time to travel to other countries then is an important step in establishing working partnerships between countries. A good example of this kind of back and forth is the positive experience we just had with Taiwan trade representative Dr. David Ta Wei Lee. As a result of his visit to the Okanagan, our high tech, wine and tourism sectors stand to benefit. Plainly stated, it

Canada is an exporting nation and robust trade has always been vital to the health of our industries and our economic sustainability. Based on this, our government has made it a major priority to bring new life to our trade agenda which had virtually come to a standstill under previous governments.

Past commendation recipients from the Okanagan include Bishop Fraser Berry, Reverend Dick Fletcher, Robert Maxwell, Harry Quarton and Bill Tanner. This year, Kelowna’s own Mary Cardiff is one of the recipients. Mary has tirelessly served our community for

many years. She is a 60-year member of the Royal Canadian Legion’s Ladies Auxiliary and a 26-year member of the Royal Canadian Legion. For 25 years, Mary has organized Remembrance Day ceremonies for retirement and home care facilities throughout the Kelowna area. At 80 years old, Mary is still going strong and continues to ensure that everyone in our community has the opportunity

to commemorate our veterans. She is well-deserving of the Minister’s Commendation Award. Congratulations. Thank you Mary! As always, if you have any questions or comments on this or any other federally-related matter, don’t hesitate to contact me at ron@cannan.ca or at 250-470-5075. Ron Cannan is the Conservative MP for the Kelowna-Lake Country riding.

â&#x2013;ź FAITH

Disrespect for Islamic religion S everal recent developments have disturbed me greatly. They illustrate disrespect and even hatred for Islam, and a continuing tendency to see the 9/11 terrorists as representing that religion. A small Christian fundamentalist group in Florida has declared 9/11 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Burn a Koranâ&#x20AC;? day. The leader, interviewed on television, came across as self-righteous and willfully blind â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and certainly did not represent the teachings of Jesus.

SOUL SEARCHING

Linda Horton In Canada, such action might well be considered a hate crime. Even here, there is sufficient prejudice to be of concern. Book-burning, or less dramatically book banning, has long been a symbol of the repression

of free thought. Historically, it has almost always led to acts of violence against persons. Seeing book-burning reappear in our own time it not something to take lightly, even though a small fringe group is using it to gain publicity. Science fiction writer Ray Bradbury, in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fahrenheit 451,â&#x20AC;? imagines a dedicated band memorizing the classics, and passing them on from teacher to student, because the government had consigned books by Dickens and other writers to the flames. We tend to be complacent about our freedoms â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perhaps it is time to take a more proactive stance. Then there is the widespread furor over locating a mosque a couple blocks from ground zero in New York City. Religious leaders of many faiths have come out in favour of religious tolerance and respect for all religious traditions. But it is frightening how many â&#x20AC;&#x153;goodâ&#x20AC;? citizens of that city and beyond justify tarring all Moslems with the terrorist brush. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deny that what happened on Sept. 11 was a devastating tragedy. There are so many others we have heard less about that have also been the results of hatred towards people who are different. Faith communities

true to their own teachings need to be taking action to promote compassion rather than hatred, so that such acts do not perpetuate themselves into the future. Freedom of religion is a basic pillar of our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity. A commentator referred to the early Nazi era. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember who wrote these poignant words: â&#x20AC;&#x153;They came for the intellectuals, and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak outâ&#x20AC;Śthey came for the Jews and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak outâ&#x20AC;Śthey came for the homosexuals and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak out. Then they came for me.â&#x20AC;? Every major religion represented in our city has been the focus of persecution at some point in history. Every religion teaches compassion and hospitality towards the stranger. What are we called to do in our time? Commentators speculate that initial low level of support for flood victims in Pakistan is related to their being mostly Moslems. That is probably at least somewhat true. I credit the news media with being forthright, getting the photos of young cholera victims out there in the public eye. Our hearts want to cherish children across all differences. In our time, most Canadians and Americans have little acquaintance with diseases that arrive one morning and bring death within hours. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be generous in support of our sisters and brothers who have experienced such catastrophe. What else might we do to witness to our support of religious freedom and our neighbours of diverse faiths? Rev. Tyler Gingrich and I have called together representatives of diverse faith communities on Sept. 11 (7:30 p.m. at the Unitarian Center, 1310 Bertram St.) for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;gathering in affirmation of religious freedom and diversity.â&#x20AC;? The evening will include brief reflections and a time of silence and remembrance for people of all faiths who have been victims of violence. You are all welcome to join us. Rev. Linda Weaver Horton is with the Unitarian Fellowship of Kelowna.

NEWS ▼ UBC ALUMNI GALA

Kelowna doctor recognized for support of cardiac services Dr. Richard Hooper, a Kelowna medical doctor and a long-time advocate for comprehensive cardiac services in the Okanagan, will receive the 2010 Community Builder Award from UBC alumni in the Okanagan later this month. A 1968 graduate of UBC’s Faculty of Medicine, Richard (Dick) Hooper was one of three general cardiologists when he arrived in Kelowna in the early 1990s. Today, he is clinical program director for regional cardiac services with Interior Health. Hooper will also be a contributor to UBC’s new Southern Medical Program as a teacher and consultant. The Community Builder award will be presented by last year’s recipient, lawyer Paul Mitchell, at UBC’s Okanagan Alumni Endowment Fund Gala, Sept. 29. Each year, the Okanagan Alumni Chapter honours outstanding UBC alumni in the Okanagan who have made and continue to make a difference locally, regionally or globally. “The Endowment Fund Gala provides the backdrop for a tribute to individuals who make extraordinary contributions to the greater community, while at the same time linking the University more closely with the community,” said Brenda kTournier, senior manager of alumni and community relations. Hooper is a former president of the Kelowna Medical Society and the B.C. Cardiologists’ Association. He and his wife were instrumental in bringing rThe Crossing at Keremeos, a multi-million dollar residential care facility for drug-addicted youth, to the Okanagan. r The Alumni Chapter’s rRising Star Award will be presented to Ana Frias, who graduated in 2009 with a Bachelor of Social Work degree. “Ana was a highly engaged student on the Okarnagan campus and she brings that wonderful spirit of social responsibility to the greater community,” said Tournier. Frias is currently a youth worker and program coordinator with the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club, developing a new youth program for the community of Peachland.

She is actively involved in alcohol and drug abuse prevention.

Tickets to the Alumni Endowment Fund Gala are $100 each, and can be

purchased online at the Alumni Relations website (www.ubc.ca/okanagan/

MP, mayor to help head up walk for Parkinson’s cure Kelowna-Lake Contry MP Ron Cannan and Kelowna Mayor Sharon Shepherd will show their support for Parkinson’s by lacing up for a cure at the inaugural Kelowna Parkinson SuperWalk at Waterfront Park on Saturday At 10 a.m., hundreds of walkers will participate in this fundraiser alongside other prominent citizens such as retired United Church minister and Capital News faith columnist Albert Baldeo, and Ross Gorman, who both have Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s is a devastating disease that affects parts of the brain controlling voluntary movement. “One day, a year and a half ago, I put shampoo into my hand and stood there blankly, unable to get the message from my brain to my hand to reach up and wash my hair… thus began my adventure with Parkinson’s,” said Wendy Olinger, volunteer Kelowna SuperWalk coordinator. “I chose to orga-

nize this walk in Kelowna because I strongly believe that we have to raise awareness about Parkinson’s and find a cure.” “SuperWalk is the largest and most important national and provincial fundraising event of the year,” added Diane Robinson, CEO of the Parkinson Society British Columbia. “Our goal is to raise $255,000 in B.C. and $3 million nationally. “Parkinson’s is a debilitating disease that not only affects people over 60 but many in their 30s and 40s. The incidence is now on the rise as the population ages.” Parkinson’s is the second most common chronic neurological disorder after Alzheimer’s. The society receives no government funding and relies entirely on donations. To register or make a donation to Parkinson SuperWalk, visit www.parkinson.bc.ca/superwalk or call 604-662-3240 or toll free1-800-668-3330.

McMillan launches his pro career Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

There’s nothing Brandon McMillan would swap for his four years in a Kelowna Rockets uniform. But with a pro job beckoning, the fleet-footed forward is chomping at the bit to get on with the next phase of his hockey career. McMillan will head to Penticton this weekend for Anaheim’s rookie camp where the Ducks will play exhibition games against San Jose, Calgary and Vancouver. Next week, he’ll fly south to sunny California for the start of the team’s main training camp for what he hopes will mark the beginning of a long and productive NHL career. Starting the season with the Ducks’ AHL affiliate in Syracuse ranks a distant second on McMillan’s wish-list. “I’m going to camp to try leave a really good impression and not allow them to take me off the team, go down there with thoughts of trying to make Anaheim right away,” said McMillan, 20, the Ducks’ third-round pick in the 2008 NHL entry draft. “There’s going to be spots open and there’s going to be guys battling for those spots, younger guys too, so I feel I can play there this year and I really want to prove that to them.” Known best in junior for his skating ability and a solid two-way

game, McMillan racked up 56 goals and 113 assists in 251 games over four WHL seasons. He was a key figure in the club’s run to a WHL title in 2009, and a season later played for Canada at the 2010 World Junior Hockey Championship in Saskatoon.

‘‘

I’VE BEEN WORKING FOR THIS FOR PROBABLY 17 YEARS…JUST WORKING SO HARD OVER THOSE YEARS AND EVERYTHING I’VE HAD TO SACRIFICE…NOW IT’S PAYING OFF AND IT’S JUST SUCH A GOOD FEELING. Brandon McMillan

Rockets’ head coach Ryan Huska said few players are more deserving of a shot at the bigtime than McMillan—and not just due of his hockey talent. “We had him since he was 16 when he first came, so you’ve seen him grow a lot and turn into a tremendous player,” said Huska. “I think the more important part about Brandon that a lot of people don’t know about is that he’s a terrific person off the ice. Last year at the trade dead-

line there were a lot of inquiries about Brandon but at the end of the day, there was no way we were going to trade him because he was too valuable for the younger guys in the organization, we relied on him a lot.” “He’s a great player, a tremendous guy and I think he’s going to do a fantastic job playing pro.” For McMillan’s part, he admits he’ll miss the Rockets organization, his teammates and the city. But because his family lives in Kelowna, he knows he’ll be back often. With a lifelong dream about to be realized, McMillan is hard pressed to contain his enthusiasm. “I’m really excited,” said McMillan, who signed a three-year entry level deal with the Ducks last spring. “I’ve been working for this for probably 17 years, and I guess it’s finally starting to pay off. Just working so hard over those years and everything I’ve had to sacrifice…now it’s paying off and it’s just such a good feeling.” Seven other Rockets are on their way to NHL training camps this weekend: Evan Bloodoff (Phoenix), Geordie Wudrick (Phoenix), Mitchell Callahan (Detroit), Brett Bulmer (Minnesota), Colton Jobke (Minnesota), and Antoine Corbin (Dallas).

The junior hockey career of Kyle St. Denis remains on hold. The Kelowna Rockets forward, who continues his recovery from multiple concussions, will stay on the club’s injured reserve until Christmas. St. Denis, 20, along with his parents, recently met with two specialists, both of whom recommended he avoid body contact. The family then decided it was best for Kyle to take a break from hockey. “It’s really hard,” said St. Denis. “I’ve been training all summer to come back with the intention of playing. This is one of the toughest decisions I’ve had to make. But hearing the doctors say I can’t play made it an easier decision.” St. Denis will remain on injured reserve until Christmas when, if he is feeling better, he will be re-evaluated. In the meantime the veteran forward will begin investigating educational opportunities and spending time See St Denis A21

SPORTS ▼ BCHL PREVIEW

Quick look-see at 2010-11Westside Warrior and key rivals The Westside Warriors kick off the new B.C. Hockey League campaign Friday night at home to the Penticton Vees. Faceoff at Royal LePage Place is 7 p.m. Here’s a preview of the 2010-11 edition of the Warriors and their Okanagan rivals.

WESTSIDE WARRIORS

Key Returnees: F Alex Grieve (26-24-50), F Kyle Singleton (25-1944), F Grayson Downing (18-18), D Peter McIntosh (0-4-4) and G Cam Gorchynski (4-4, 2.90 GAA). Rookie Sensations: Brayden Sherbinin and Michael King are a pair of 17-year-old defencemen who coach Darren Yopyk expects to make an immediate impact on the Warriors’ blue line. Sherbinin, a Kelowna native who played last season with the Nelson Leafs, is a dynamic skater who has an offensive bent to his game. The 6-foot-5 King, who played major midget in Prince George, brings both size and a cerebral approach to the position. Up front, Travis Blanleil, 16, Brett McKinnon, 18, and Shawn

NEWLY appointed captain Alex Grieve will lead the Westside Warriors into battle for the 2010-11 season. Hochhausen, 18, will supply rookie depth. In goal, Kevin Boyle joins the Warriors from junior A in New Jersey. Strengths: With the acquisitions of junior A veterans Tom Kroshus (Camrose Kodiaks) and Matt Cronin (Drumheller Dragons), and rookies Sherbinin and King, Westside’s defensive corps could be among the best in the league. At forward, the Warriors lost their top two scorers in Trevor Bailey and Cam Reid, but should have three solid lines to provide ample offence. The most dangerous unit should feature newly-anointed captain Grieve, Singleton and

Quinn Gould, all 20-yearolds. “Our defensive corps is exceptional, and we look like we have pretty good depth up front,” said Warriors head coach and GM Darrren Yopyk. “We’re going to have to be a physical group that works extremely hard to be successful. I think we’ll be able to move the puck well and we’ll combine that with some pretty good team speed. Now that I’ve had a full season in the league, I’ll have a better idea of what to expect.”

47), Bryce Kakoske (1328-41), Dave Robinson (15-10-25), D Adam Thompson (5-20-25), D Stevie Weinstein (4-1822), G Blake Voth (1.79 GAA, 92.90 save percentage). Rookie Sensations: Power forward Aaron Hadley scored at a pointa-game clip, and added 94 penalty minutes, as a 16-year-old with the KIJHL Beaver Valley Nitehawks. F Trevor Fitzgerald surpassed all expectations last season, leading the expansion North Okanagan Knights with 67 points in 49 games. The

Vernon product also practised with the Snakes and played in the Royal Bank Cup championships. Strengths: With seven returnees from their RBC Cup national championship squad, the Snakes have a leadership core that knows what it takes to win. Combine that with some of the best prospects to be found in North America, and the expert tutelage of coaches Mark Ferner and Jason Williamson, and Vernon will once again be a contender.

PENTICTON VEES

Key Returnees: F

Joey Holka (28-23-51), F Logan Johnston (1417-31), D Joey Laleggia (13-52-65), F Garrett Milan (30-30-60), F Stefan Nicholishen (2-5-7), D Derik Johnson (1-1314), G Joel Rumpel (19-30, two shutouts, .920 save percentage). Rookie Sensations: As a junior with St. Francis in 2009, Joey Benik set a Minnesota state high school record with 63 goals (previously 62). Including the playoffs, he scored 65 goals and 102 points that season. F James Polk scored 27 goals and 48 points in 55

prep games with ShattuckSt.Mary’s high school last season. Polk’s teammate, F Bradley Robbins scored 21 goals and 54 points in 55 games. D Troy Stecher, can handle the puck and tallied four goals and 31 points with the Great Vancouver Canadians in the B.C. Major Midget League last season. Strengths: There is a focus on building an identity during the month of September. As that happens, coach/GM Fred Harbinson expects the Vees to be a hard-working club that will be difficult to play against.

‘His health is foremost,’ Hamilton St. Denis from A20 at home in Trail. Rockets president and general manager Bruce Hamilton said it has been a tough time for St. Denis, his family and the Rockets organization. “It’s a great loss to our organization,” said Hamilton. “Our biggest concern is for Kyle’s health. We want to get him back to being productive, whether it be in hockey or in school. Most importantly his health is first and fore-

most.” During a three-year playing career St. Denis electrified Kelowna crowds with his energetic style and offensive flair. At 17-years-old he scored 40 points but both of his previous two seasons were ended by injury. For St. Denis’ part, being away from his sport of passion has been a difficult adjustment, but one he realizes is necessary for his long-term health. “Obviously I’m quite upset about it, but health

comes first. I have to look after my health,” St. Denis added. “I’ve been feeling pretty good the last couple of weeks but it’s not where I want to be. I think it just takes time.” The Rockets and the WHL will play a role in allowing St. Denis to find an outlet other than hockey. Because he can’t play due to injury, St. Denis will receive a full four-year, postsecondary scholarship from the Rockets through the WHL education program.

Chiefs’ junior B season opens Friday The Kelowna Chiefs were unbeatable in the preseason. Coaches Ken Andrusiak and Grant Sheridan, not surprisingly, hope the trend carries over into the 2010-11 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s regular campaign. The Chiefs—in their inaugural season in Kelowna—will open up Friday night in Osoyoos against the Coyotes. Sunday, Kelowna will play in Princeton. The Chiefs shot the lights out in the exhibition campaign, posting a 4-0 record and outscoring their opponents 23-7. “Until you play real games and face real bullets, you’re not exactly sure where you’re at, but we do know we have a lot of good players,” said Sheridan, who assists head man Ken Andrusiak. “We haven’t had much

practice time to get a real feel, but we’re starting at a good stage. We’re happy so far.” With the exception of four players, the Chiefs roster consists of all Okanagan talent, including 12 Kelowna products. Sheridan said quality players weren’t hard to find. “I’d have to say our strength is our depth, up and down the lineup, at all positions from the goaltender out. We had to release some kids who were good enough to play in the league but there just wasn’t room for all of them.” The Chiefs will play their home opener Friday, Sept. 17 at Rutland Arena against the defending champion Revelstoke Grizzlies. The Chiefs relocated to Kelowna this summer after three seasons in Chase.

Taekwondo takes Zaleski to London Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Thanks to a life dedicated largely to the martial arts, Dan and Jon Zaleski are a well-travelled father and son team. The Kelowna duo’s latest journey has taken them to London, England, site of the Taekwondo International World Open Championships. Dan Zaleski, the master instructor at Quest Martial Arts Academy in Kelowna, is serving as head coach for Team Canada. Jon Zaleski, 24, is looking to defend his title in the men’s heavyweight sparring division. In a classic like-father, like-son scenario, Dan won the world men’s title in 1978 in Oklahoma City. Thirty years later Jon followed suit in Italy and was the gold medal heavyweight champion. The two hope to build

one more piece of family history this weekend in London at the TKDI world finals. “Coaching my son Jon is a real thrill for me, and to be together at the worlds is wonderful, it’s probably the last time he’ll compete,” said Dan Zaleski, who is coaching 13 athletes from Western Canada. “Jayson Ayles (Trail) and Trent Lissa (Calgary) are former students of mine and are also here to compete, so it’s real exciting for me.” Athletes will compete in the sparring, forms, destruction—board breaking, bricks, etc.—and team events. With top level martial artists from 68 countries attending, Dan Zaleski said the environment at worlds will be nothing short of inspiring. “To meet all of the different people from all over the world who come to one place with same, correct and positive mental

personal respect among all the competitors, it’s wonderful to see.” Equally inspiring for

the elder Zaleski will be the presence of his Grand Master C.K. Choi, also a former world champion who will be attending the event. In the 32 years since he won the world title, Dan Zaleski has witnessed many advances in the training and preparation methods of the competitors—such as technology and nutritition. But Zaleski says what defines a champion today rings as true as it did three decades ago. “The players now are bigger, faster and smarter and have all the technology on their side, but 90 per cent of it is the human spirit and maybe 10 per cent is technology,” he said. “Everybody is good, everybody is in excellent shape. It’s the heart, the mental side, and the spirit that wins out.” The TKDI world competition will be held this Saturday and Sunday in London. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

RICK FENTON, speaking at the BreakOut West Kelowna 2010-2010 Western Canadian Music Awards press conference Wednesday at the Streaming Cafe, announces the entertainers scheduled to perform in Kelowna during the event, Oct. 21 to 24.

▼ MUSIC INDUSTRY

Major music conference and awards show gearing up Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Speaking against a backdrop of overtly British Columbia-inspired décor—a wall of solid log rounds in the Streaming Café—the Western Canadian Music Alliance executive director couldn’t help but boast about the many attractive features he’s seen in Kelowna this past year. A native of one of Canada’s cultural hubs, the Winnipeg-based music industry pro gave the usual complimentary speech on the Okanagan surroundings but also pointed out a few really unique attributes which make Kelowna a prime festival ground for the Western Canadian Music Awards in October, or any other festival for that matter. The city is home to a top-notch audio company, has a bank of students at the Centre for Arts and Technology with the skills to assist and a venue nominated as one of the top in Western Canada in this year’s awards.

Add to that venues like the Rotary Arts Centre, where a conference or performers can roll in for a weekend and use a variety of spaces, and you’ve got the stage set for one good show. Yet it wasn’t until creative director Karma Lacoff took the mic at Wednesday’s BreakOut West press conference that things really got interesting. Naming off just a few of the performers included, Lacoff threw in a string of local names. From singer/songwriter Ryan Donn to Kingdom Cloud, Treelines, Greg Sczebel, We Are the City, The Zolas, and the closely tied Kootenay natives Wasabi Collective, it appears the Okanagan’s talent pool is ready to compete with the best of them. And the festival, conference and award show assembled for next month, dubbed BreakOut West, promises to be one of the best Western Canadian Music Award events yet. “There’s something for everyone,” said Lacoff, who books bands for Habitat as part of her

regular employment. The festival will include a variety of settings from listening rooms to rock clubs and dance clubs. “Different people are attracted to different things and we’re really happy to be having that and showcasing multiple genres,” she said. The venues include everything from the Kelowna Community Theatre, to the Memphis Blues and Keg restaurants. The lineup itself is equally diverse. Country artist Shane Yellowbird will offer a twangy guitar lick while MOBADASS brings their distinctive electro-rock, funk, dance reggae sound to town. Pop collective Library Voices earned a mention in this week’s announcement of the performers, which could not list even half the artists playing the list is so long. A complete line up can be found on the BreakOut West website www. breakoutwest.ca, one of two sites for the event.

The other is primarily dedicated to community news, www.breakoutwestkelowna.com, and at this point, features one of the more critical pieces of information—how to volunteer. Wednesday’s press conference—the last of its kind until the event—stressed the need for people to help stage the shows, noting the organizers need a wide range of talent to properly host an event this large. Some 25 industry professionals are expected to be flying in from all over the world to offer up their expertise at the conference, running Oct. 21 to 24. They include everything from marketing experts to music supervisors for That ’70s Show and Grey’s Anatomy. In short, this is an unmatched opportunity to build the music industry within the Okanagan Valley, organizers said; now they’re hoping community members step up to the plate to help. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

And now for something completely different

ormally I try to be your movie advisor, but since the only new movie opening this week is Resident Evil: Afterlife, I am going to try to be a travel advisor. But I am not going be straying too far from the subject of movies. I just came back from a three week vacation in Orlando, Florida, visiting the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal’s Islands of Adventure and Disney World. I was actually dreading this trip because of its potential cost, but because things slow down in late August, it was much more affordable than I could imagine. In the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the biggest suggestion I can make is to avoid shopping in stores like Dervish and Banges and Olivanders. Line-ups to just get into these shops were upwards of two hours—longer than the rides. Many of the same items could be bought at kiosks and Filchs Emporium of Confiscated Goods (however, diehard fans will still want to check them out). As far as the rides, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey is one of the best motion simulation rides I have ever been on, seamlessly blending motion picture and

Rick Davis animatronics. There is also Flight of the Hippogriff, a rollercoaster made for smaller wizards and Dragon Challenge, a reimagining of the Dueling Dragons, an exciting coaster that already existed in the park. If you wish to eat at the Three Broomsticks, I recommend reserving for a breakfast when you book your vacation. That way, you not only don’t have to wait in line, but get an early entry into the park at the same time. If you want to know what Butterbeer tastes like, I will not mention it here, but I will let you know if you ask. Even though Harry Potter was the spark to get

us to Orlando, it was Disney World that made it affordable. Most of our time in Orlando was spent at the four Disney parks, and the Disney Dining Plan was much of the reason. At certain times of the year, it is included with your room at a Disney hotel. In our case, four of us stayed at the Pop Century Resort, one of the “value hotels,” sharing a room for about $100 per night. This included two “quick serve” meals and two snacks each per day, at the hotel or any of the parks. (It also included the Wolfgang Puck Express in Downtown Disney, which I highly recommend even if you are not on the Dining Plan.) Please contact me if you wish to know on which dates the Dining Plan is included and I can email you a calendar for the next year. There are so many other recommendations I could make but I have to

mention something about Disney’s Fast Passes. They are a must to help reduce waits in attraction lines as they allow you to come back at a specific time and bypass most of the standby line-up. What I discovered this trip was that even though they give you a specific hour to return (i.e. between 1 and 2 p.m.), they

are actually valid for the rest of that day after its start time (i.e. anytime after 1 p.m.). That gives guests a much larger window of time to return to the attraction. Rick Davis is the manager of the Capitol Theatre in West Kelowna. capitol_wes@ landmarkcinemas.ca

Make every Farmer’s Market count

ate summer offers up some of my favourite local produce—tomatoes, squash, zucchini, corn, plus the arrival of tree fruits like apples and pears. As we slide into autumn’s embrace, make sure to savour each bite of these seasonal offerings and don’t forget to preserve them when possible through canning, drying or freezing. As they say, local is the new organic, so do make sure to visit the local farmers market and fruit stands as much as possible while you can. I have been a regular at My Country Market on KLO Road picking up their incredible corn and patty pan squash. At the Farmer’s Market I like to load up on Forbes Farm heirloom tomatoes, Zelaney’s huge Walla Walla onions, spinach and fingerling potatoes and Green Croft Farms beets and kale— and right now strawberries. The market has all you need to construct a perfect meal. To jazz up your barbecue night, why not try something different, like Moroccan spiced lamb burgers? Mix together: Meating Place ground

Jennifer Schell lamb with a generous spike of “Jinx” Moroccan spice blend from local Chef Martin’s new Taboo BBQ line, available at L&D Meats in Guisachan Village. Mix in chopped cil-

antro and minced onion, form patties and refrigerate for at least half an hour before hitting the grill. I love topping my burgers with cooked spinach for that extra kick of nutrients. Just pop a big bowl of spinach in the microwave for a minute or too, cool and then squeeze water out.

Wrap your history in humour

Choose how to volunteer

Canadian history not your thing? How about comedy? Like that? Here’s your chance to laugh until your sides hurt and learn just a smidgeon about Canada when The Canada Show comes to town later this month. The Canada Show was at the Vancouver Fringe in 2002 where it was named the Pick of the Fringe by festival goers. Since then it has toured across Canada many times, won the 2002 Just For Laughs Frankie Award for Best Comedy at the Montreal Fringe Festival and enjoyed a one week run at the 2010 Cultural Olympiad.

’m tired of being asked to sponsor every golf tournament and gala out there.” “I moved to this community to enjoy retirement. Getting involved in community just isn’t a priority for me.” These statements imply a ‘take it or leave it’ attitude, but it is not really that simple. Kelowna Community Resources released a report outlining the essential impact of nonprofits in our economy. “To put things in perspective, paid employees in the sector outnumber the total combined workforces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador”, states the HR Council website (http:hrcouncil. ca). In B.C., paid employment in the nonprofit sector is larger than the B.C. construction industry. It is also bigger than the combined industries of forestry, fishing and mining/oil

The show takes you on a one hour tour of Canada’s history—from beavers to the FLQ to Jacques Cartier puppets. In an action-packed sixty minutes, Monster Theatre takes you on a hysterically historical joyride through 50,000 years of Canada. Monster Theatre makes learning about Canada fun and irreverent. Told from the point of view of three bickering historians—one English (Bruce Horak), one French (Ryan Gladstone), and one just trying to keep the whole thing together (Jeff Gladstone). Learn about parts of

our history, few knew existed, including the Acadian Civil War, the problem with the Bering Straight Theory and every single Prime Minister in our history in Two Minutes. The Rotary Centre for the Arts is pleased to have Twongo Canada as a presenting sponsor of the Canada Show. Their Power of Team Giving fundraiser hopes to raise $10,000 to fund arts programs offered at the RCA. Every day from Sept 20 to 25, on www.twongo. com, you can find a “Big Deal” from participating vendors, including Hannah’s Lounge & Grill,

Chop Leaf, Soda’s Gourmet Burgers & Fountain Shop, and Beyond Wrapture. Share these deals via Facebook, Twitter or any RSS feed because the more people who take advantage of the Big Deal, the bigger the discount,— in many cases up to 60 per cent off—and the greater the contribution to the RCA. The Canada Show is at the Mary Irwin Theatre in the Rotary Centre for the Arts at 7:30 p.m. from Sept 23 to 25. Tickets can be purchased online through Select Your Tickets, by visiting the RCA box office, or by calling 250-717-5304.

▼ PENTICTON JAZZ

Hot nights in South Okanagan city Starting today, Sept. 10, Penticton will be transformed as music venues all over the city take on the persona of the greatest jazz locales from the French Quarter to the Cotton Club. It’s the annual Pentastic Hot Jazz Festival, three days of some of the best jazz bands from across the continent. Pentastic Jazz Society president Michael Campbell said there are new treats on the schedule as well as the return of many audience favourites. “Some of them you just don’t want to change. Like Coronet Chop Suey and Tom Rigney—they’re huge,” he said. “And we bring in Igor (and the Jazz Cowboys) for comic relief,” Campbell continued. “It’s western swing with a little bit of humour.” Local favourites the Cactus Jazz Band are back once more, but this year they have company representing the South Okanagan Jazz scene. “We’ve got the Off Ramp Ensemble, which is led by Justin Glibbery,” said Campbell. “And we’ve got a young group out of Chilliwack called Stomping Hot. “They’re young, they’re enthusiastic and they’re really good musicians.” Campbell adds the opening and closing ceremonies to the long list of events not to miss at the festival. “And Pianorama, we’ve got five red-hot piano players, that’s on Saturday afternoon. You get the creme de la creme of piano players in,” he

continued, “Our Sunday morning gospel service this year features Black Swan…they have a vocalist named Marylin Keller who brings tears to your

eyes. She’s just got the most gorgeous voice.” Campbell attributes the ongoing success of the jazz fest to the volunteers, who he said he would put

up against the volunteers of any other festival in North America. “They are enthusiastic…they love our festival, they love our city,” he said.

▼ OUR VIEW

Packaging has become too much

ike Kermit the Frog once said, it’s not easy being green. As landfills reach capacity, local residents are taking the initiative by adopting zero waste challenges, individually, by neighbourhood, by community. But one look at the recycling blue bin on pick-up day reveals the challenge we face to reduce our waste. It’s always full. No sooner is the bin emptied at the curb by automated trucks

when it quickly starts to refill with bottles, boxes, boxes within boxes, jars, paper, plastic trays and containers of every size and shape. The sheer amount of packaging we deal with every day is staggering. According to the U.S.-based Dogwood Alliance, 25 per cent of the 2.4 million hectares of trees cut down every year in the southeastern United States ends up wrapping and boxing consumer goods.

MAIN SWITCHBOARD

The computer age, which was supposed to diminish our need for paper, has only made things worse. The little plastic cartridges for inkjet printers, for instance, are notoriously over-packaged, contained in complicated boxes, attached to cardboard or plastic trays, wrapped in sticky plastic and accompanied by a series of instruction pamphlets and promotional paperwork. The problem is compounded if you happened to order that

inkjet cartridge from an online retailer; chances are it was shipped in a cardboard box five or six times larger than the already voluminous box encasing the little plastic cartridge, and then further protected by crumpled paper, bubblewrap or styrofoam peanuts. It’s time for manufacturers and retailers to do their part and reduce the amount of packaging material they use, most of which we consumers can easily do without.

Will you only read if there’s blood, gore and sex in headline?

ust as my fears that every crevice of this continent has been tainted by wingnut-ideology were reaching epic levels, a Google alert saved my day—well, took the edge off it anyway “Pastor Terry Jones Calls off Koran Burning, But Deal for Ground Zero Mosque Is Denied,” read the ABC News headline, with strange capitalization issues. Jones made the announcement in Florida, saying he’s putting his 9/11 book-burning plans aside because the leader behind the Ground Zero mosque in Manhattan has agreed to go elsewhere. He called it a sign from God. No matter who he got the memo

from, it’s good news when any book, religious or not, isn’t being burned, really. So, with that, I breathed a sigh of relief and my irritation was put to rest, momentarily at least. That’s when I made the unfortunate decision to look more closely at the capsule of information, and was dismayed to realize that a news source that isn’t supposed to be drenched in lunacy is also faltering. For reasons unknown, the Islamic community centre in Manhattan, is being referred to as a Ground Zero

Mosque by organiza-

KATHARTIC tions that should know

better than to stir the pot with inflammatory crap that feeds the fire of the world’s idiots. According to some Kathy diligent Googling, the Michaels Park 51 project, is to be established on a site two blocks from where the World Trade Center towers fell. If the project went through it was supposed to be a 13-storey community centre and mosque project, in an area that already has mosques, strip clubs and gambling areas. Basically it’s not hallowed ground, which I realize isn’t nearly

as sexy for those who have to make headlines and fill news columns, but that’s really not the point—is it? Then again, maybe that’s what it’s devolved to. Funny thing about this business— be it ever-so-humble from my corner of it—is that you’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Readership has always played a part in the way news is delivered but it’s even more pronounced in the Internet-age when readers’ eyes can be tracked and accounted for. Due diligence isn’t always the splashy choice, and that’s led more than one story into the back pages, web or not. Write something devoid of con-

text, but bloody with speculation and you’ve got a hit, thus the birth of “Ground Zero Mosque,” as I’m sure the words “Park 51” had next to no hits. I could drum up a few examples closer to home, but what’s the point. Bascially it’s enough to make me want to give up. Either we’re making things worse, or no one’s paying attention anyway. Uhm….

LETTERS

Attention All For-Sale-By-Owners

▼ RV

Humorous columnist a danger to society To the editor: Re: Behind the Wheel of an RV, by Shelley Nichol in the September 3 issue of the Capital News. What ever happened to common sense? After reading this column that was supposedly composed by a mature mother with children, I am amazed that this type of attitude towards RVing gets published. Evidently this individual pays no attention to

other drivers on our highways and owners of RV parks. I can just imagine what sort of shape the brakes, steering, tires and other mechanical aspects of her RV are in if she has to duct tape her vents closed so that they do not fly off on the highway, thus endangering other drivers. I think she needs to give her head a shake for the safety of herself and her own family as it ap-

pears that consideration for the safety of others is simply out of the question. I can just visualize this individual throwing banana peels or cigarette butts out of the window while on the road. Evidently, she does not wear a seat belt nor does her child and if she did have to make a sudden stop when her child is going back to get her a drink the child would surely fly

right through the windshield. This driver is a good candidate to back up over her own child or any other persons, for that matter, as campgrounds are full of children by not getting out and looking where she is going to park. This does not count, of course, the damage she may do to the campsite and even her own unit. From the sounds of it she is the type that would

drive away and leave her campfire burning with no regard to the environment or the safety of others. I think this person should publish when she is going to take holidays so that the rest of us can make sure we are not on the roads and in campsites at the same time she is out there, for our own safety and that of our families.

for Mr. Ignatieff to defend his Canadian citizenship. I read the national papers and the vitriolic comments from conservative supporters is unbelievable—questioning his ancestry, his wife’s ancestry, his working outside the country, his education, actually, to me, borders on lunacy. I have listened to Mr.

Ignatieff many times over the past few years. Believe me, I appreciate someone who speaks to me like I’m an adult. His being Canadian never came up as an issue among people who are willing to listen to ideas and issues that Canadians will face living in this integrated global society. Perhaps if the media

would stop reporting on the small stuff, report on how Canada is currently being governed with Harper’s contempt for Parliament, his contempt for democracy, his contempt for the judiciary. It is really unfortunate that a prime minister of this country would question Mr. Ignatieff’s citizenship that he feels he has to de-

fend himself as a Canadian. Your editorial, to me should have been why and how Harper has divided Canadians with wedge issues. I expect my prime minister to bring to a country unity, not division. J. Fotheringham Kelowna

Cats need to be protected by new bylaw To the editor: As a society, we have been told over and over that we must spay or neuter our pets, yet many people still do not. There must be a bylaw passed by the City of Kelowna. The City of Kelowna had been presented years ago with a template for a bylaw that has been successful in other cities. A city bylaw preventing pet stores from selling unspayed or unneutered animals would make a huge difference in the number of abandoned animals, as has been proven by statis-

tics in those cities which have implemented these regulations. Also, people who want to breed animals and make a quick buck, with no concern of overpopulation, should require licenses. This is not a difficult bylaw to implement and enforce, yet it would save countless numbers of animals from preventable suffering. I know that the majority of Kelowna citizens do care about these animals. Please take a minute of your time to email city council at mayorandcouncil@ke-

lowna.ca and urge your city council to pass a bylaw that prevents the sale of unspayed or unneutered animals and that, also, regulates licensing for those who breed their animals irresponsibly. We should be extremely thankful for individuals, who spend endless time, energy, and their own money to ease the suffering of some of the animals who are, ultimately, all of our responsibility. Linda Danners Kelowna

To the editor: I am writing in response to Friday, Aug 27 letter: City is Full of Discarded, Breeding Cats. I want to thank Helena for suggesting that the city of Kelowna adopt bylaws that will better protect our community’s animals. I would like to suggest further recommendations: 1.That each pup or kitten produced by a breeder be microchipped. And if any of those pups or kittens show up in a shelter due to their new owner’s surrendering them or neglecting them that the

breeder be held accountable for the costs incurred at the shelter. 2. In order to optimize the chances of having a successful, loving, responsible long-term placement these licensed breeders should be required to do home checks of the prospective owners and have them fill out an adoption questionnaire. We simply must start taking the pet over population problem seriously and create bylaws that reflect that intent. Jan Dawson, Kelowna

What did Campbell know and when did he know it? To the editor: The duplicity of the Campbell government was fully exposed to voters recently in a CBC News report: “B.C. Minister Briefed On HST Before Election.” The report began: “B.C. government bureaucrats were engaged in discussions about the HST with their federal counterparts—and briefing the provincial finance minister—well before the May 2009 provincial election, documents show.” The Victoria Times reported on July 3: “The Liberals had said in election campaign questionnaires that they weren’t considering the HST. But

email records show provincial and federal officials started talking about it May 15, 2009—three days after the party was re-elected. The deal was publicly announced July 23. The quick flip-flop added a new dimension of anger to the tax deal. Some people felt the Liberals deliberately lied about the HST to get re-elected. Almost 12 months later, that stigma remains.” The Sept. 1 CBC report said: “On Aug. 25, 2009, however, Campbell insisted it [HST] was not in their plans during the election…‘We’ve been very clear with regard to

the HST, it was not anywhere on our radar…as we went through the election.’” Upon learning of the facts, former premier Bill Vander Zalm told the CBC: “It was a lie from the beginning. It’s the biggest lie we’ve ever experienced in the history of the province and I think the premier and the minister of finance should step down. They should recall the legislature and they should call an election.” Clearly, liars are part of the Campbell government and B.C. Liberal Party. How much longer will the Campbell government attempt to avoid the

political consequences of its duplicity and abuse of

The evaluation of ICBC’s investment in 102 road improvement projects (from a total of 750 projects), showed a 20 per cent reduction in fatal and severe injury crashes and a 12 per cent reduction in non-injury crashes. “Road improvements deliver real value to our customers and all road users, from drivers to pedestrians,” said ICBC’s Nicolas Jimenez, director of road safety. “Over the past 21 years, we’ve invested about $100 million in more than 2,750 road enhancements to help make our roads safer for everyone.” ICBC’s Road Improvement Program works in partnership with municipalities and the

Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to help make our communities safer. The evaluation, conducted by Dr. Tarek Sayed, professor of civil engineering at UBC and Dr. Paul Deleur, transportation safety engineer, concluded that for every dollar invested, ICBC and its customers see a return five to 12 times the investment. That is, for every dollar invested, ICBC and its customers save $5.60 over two years and $12.80 over five years in reduced crash costs. For urban area road improvements, the study evaluated 42 projects where ICBC spent $1.6 million, which resulted in savings of $7.6 million over two years and $19.3 million over five years. The savings on rural highway areas were even higher. ICBC spent $2.9

million on 60 projects, which resulted in savings of $13.8 million over two years and $35.1 million over five years. Projects include a wide range of countermeasures, from roundabouts to left hand turn bays, from signs to median barriers. Evaluated projects within the Southern Interior region include: • Merritt and Kamloops: Improved signals and intersection lanes at Highway 5 and Mt. Paul Way. ICBC invested $31,200 and the improvements resulted in a 56 per cent drop in property damage claims and a 44 per cent drop in severe injury crashes, saving $185,100 over two years and $459,300 over five years. • Okanagan: Improvement to Highway 97 at Okanagan Lake Park, including expansion to four lanes, improvements to the horizontal alignment

and cross-section. ICBC invested $94,800 and the improvements resulted in a 69 per cent drop in property damage claims and 35 per cent drop in severe injury crashes, saving $272,400 over two years and $738,000 over five years. • Vernon: Improvements to Highway 97 from Swan Lake to Larkin, including expansion to four lanes and structure enhancements. ICBC invested $89,600 and the improvements resulted in a 3 per cent drop in property damage claims and 33 per cent drop in severe injury crashes, saving $101,300 over two years and $343,200 over five years. “We’re in communities across the province,” said Jimenez. “Our community partnerships are paramount to the success of this program.”

MOTORING ▼ MAZDA DESIGN SEMINAR

Shinari concept wows journalists Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR

MILAN, Italy: Kodo is a Japanese word for “soul of motion” but it means much, much more at Mazda. It sums up a sea change in the look and spirit of the next five to 10 years of its vehicles as Mazda seeks to distance itself from 20 years of partnership with Ford and establish a new persona. Mazda chose Milan for its 2010 Design Seminar that attracted journalists from around the world. It was selected because Milan is considered one of the fashion epicentres on the planet. The seminar was about new cars, new technologies and new directions

and it brought together Mazda’s top designers from its styling studios in Hiroshima, Yokohama, Frankfurt and Irvine in California under one roof. The symbol of the seminar was a letter opener that was one of the inspirations used by Ikuo Maeda, head of Mazda’s design division. The letter opener is one piece of stainless steel with a slight twist in the centre. Meada praised it for its simplicity, beauty and utility all in one which brings together of soul of Kodo, Mazda’s new design philosophy. Maeda explained Kodo is best illustrated by a Cheetah or a Kendo swordsman at the moment See Shinari B2

JIM ROBINSON/CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

THE MAZDA SHINARI concept contains a number of design cues we will see in the next generation of their cars, trucks and sportscars. Showcased outside Milan’s Villa San Carlo Borromeo, the most significant is the grille that replaces “The Joker” smiling grille of current Mazdas.

when all the energy built up to make a strike is re-

leased in one pure movement.

JIM ROBINSON/CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

THE INTERIOR of the Shinari concept continues the flowing, Kodo, design concept and carries many hints about how the cabins of future Mazdas may look.

It is that building of tension and its unleashing that is the spirit of Mazda and a new part of the brand’s DNA. Kodo, then, is not a shape but an idea. The seminar was held outside Milan at the Villa San Carlo Borromeo that was first settled 800 years before Christ and was visited by Caesar. The juxtaposition between the old and new was not lost on those assembled as the Shinari concept car was revealed for the first time. The Shinari concept was beautiful to behold with 21-inch wheels and a length about same as a Chrysler 300 or Chevrolet Impala. If built as is, it would easily be the biggest sedan ever to come

from Mazda. Journalist Robert Cumberford, himself an accomplished automotive designer and noted design critic, said he saw three or four different cars hiding under the skin. Meada intimated the same thing when he described the Shinari as incorporating several design cues the first of which is a complete change of the grille for a new signature shape. That last Mazda to bear the current grille look will be the Mazda5 coming to Canada in the early spring. Replacing the “The Joker” grinning grille will be a character line that starts high up on the fender at the headlight and then drops down and across before arcing back up to the headlight on the other fender. It’s very much like a stylized Big Dipper. Although no one would comment, the new look could appear on the much-rumoured RX-7 “new” sportscar. At a press conference with all the key designers assembled, the audience was told Mazda design is influenced by trends and themes. This involves “layering” where

to suit the owner’s frame of mind. And the car would incorporate new shapes and materials drawn from countless sources. One fascinating example on display was a winter cap made of a material called D3o. Looking, feeling and wearing like an ordinary cableknit toque, when hit with a hammer, it went rock hard at the point of impact. In a video, the toque was placed on a melon and hit with a sledgehammer with no damage done to the melon. Currently just starting to be used as head protective gear by skiers and motorcyclists, its application possibilities to vehicles are tremendous. But perhaps the most interesting concept to come out of the seminar was not so much what the future holds but how the future will view the car. Instead of being a status symbol, the car of the future will be judged on the value of what it does for the owner and what it contributes to his/ her lifestyle, a lifestyle that will be very different from today. www.mazda.ca

The 1 Series may be the smallest and least expensive Bimmer in the lineup, but don’t be fooled by its “entry level” position. BMW has long enjoyed a reputation for building “driver’s cars” and in the 1 Series they haven’t strayed from that mandate. These sports coupes have been available in Europe since 2004 and have doing big numbers. In Canada, where “luxury compacts” are a

harder sell, the 1 Series is still proving popular. And with the 1 Series starting approximately $8,500 to $10,400 cheaper than its 3 Series siblings, the company should see a lot more buyers coming to its iconic marque. In Canada, buyers can choose from two very capable models, with the 128i powered by a normally aspirated 3.0-litre inline six and the 135i getting a twin-turbo version of the 3.0-litre six, along with enhanced styling, suspension and brakes.

But the joy of driving the 1 Series—not to mention the money savings— far outweighs any small sacrifice in space. Especially if like me, you’re alone in the vehicle most of the time. First of all, it has a near 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution and a superb power-to-weight ratio. I didn’t have the op-

portunity to drive the 128i, with its 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder Valvetronic that generates 230 hp and 200 lb/ft of torque, but I did get to drive its turbocharged sibling. This powerplant benefits from high-precision injection, twin low-mass turbochargers and an airto-air intercooler. It was winner of the 2007 International Engine of the Year award, and delivers a whopping 300 horses and 300 lb/ft of torque from as low as 1,400 rpm. As a result, the 135i really scoots, able to accelerate from rest to 100 km/h in just 5.3 seconds— with the automatic. The six-speed manual is marginally slower at 5.4 seconds. It’s the same engine found in the 335i Coupe, but to get that kind of performance from the 3 Series, you have to move up to the 335is, which with a few tweaks puts out 320 hp and 332 lb/ft of torque—and at a starting MSRP of $58,800. The base 135i will set you back only $43,000. It’s a relative bargain— but certainly not a lesser Bimmer in any area that counts. Suspension in the 1 Series Coupe is an aluminum double-pivot in front and a five-link fully independent in rear. HandSee BMW B5

BMW 135i attracts police attention like a magnet BMW from B4 ling and control are enhanced by Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) with Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) but comes in at a higher threshold before it shuts down the wheelspin. Which is what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect in a performance car. Push a button on the centre console and you can entirely disable DSC and DTC. But I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recommend it. The 135i, in normal driving, has a magnetic effect on our local police. Light up the tires and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just asking for trouble. In this kind of car, I typically prefer a manual transmission and admit I was disappointed when my press car arrived with the seven-speed, double clutch automatic (DCT). But that disappointment quickly evaporated. Entering the on-ramp to Hwy. 401, I pushed hard on the throttle to merge into traffic and was impressed by the lightning gear changes, with no lag from either transmission or turbo. The DCT works by switching between two drivetrains: one for even and one for odd gears. While youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re accelerating in one particular gear, the next one is already engaged, allowing for extremely fast shift times. Sport Mode is a function that just adds to the fun. Without it, the 135i is plenty quick, but select â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sportâ&#x20AC;? and you enjoy faster gear changes, a quicker throttle response and higher rpms before shifting. And as the top trim model in the 1 Series, the 135i includes a few extras as standard, such as the M Aerodynamics Package (with more aggressive styling, better brake cooling and increased downforce). It also gets a sporttuned suspension, 18-inch wheels and a high-performance brake system fwith six-piston calipers in front and two-piston in rear. But driving a BMW is not just about performance and handling. The r135i offers a full suite of safety features in addition to the previously mentioned DSC and DTC. This includes big 338/324 mm ventilated disc brakes

(front/rear) with ABS, electronic brake-force distribution and Dynamic Brake Control; tire pressure warning; six airbags; crash-optimized seats and driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pedals that retract on impact to reduce foot injury. Another neat feature is the adaptive brakelights, which increase illumination so that other drivers can distinguish between gentle and full braking. On the inside, the 135i delivers most of what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect at this price point: dual-zone automatic climate control; satellite-ready, 10-speaker audio system with auxiliary input; multifunction leather steering wheel with audio and phone

controls; keyless start; on-board computer (avg. speed, fuel consumption, range, etc.); heated front seats; 60/40 rear seats and more. Other useful standard features include rain-sensing wipers and automatic headlights. My tester included several trim packages. The $3,700 Executive Package provides Boston Leather upholstery, electric seat adjust with driver memory, lumbar support, proximity key and universal garage door opener. The Premium Package ($1,800) adds heated steering wheel (replaced by M Sport Steering See BMW B6

Driving pleasure for the buck BMW from B5 Wheel), sunroof and auto dimming interior mirror. And the Premium Sound Package boosted that by another $1,200 for a Harman/Kardon sound system. Some stand-alone options were the sevenspeed automatic at $1,950 and rear parking sensors at $450. I could have lived without all of the above, but appreciated the relative bargain in the M Sport Package.

At $1,900, it includes sports seats with electrically adjustable width; M Sport steering wheel and shift lever, anthracite roof liner and a smoking set of 18-inch M double spoke alloy wheels. There’s plenty of competition at the 135i’s price point, some of which isn’t even in the premium segment. For instance, the Subaru STi starts at $40K for the base and $46K for the Sport-tech Package, and the Evo begins at $42K for the GSR and $51,798 for the MR—and

the two Mitsubishis only offer about half the cargo volume. The Lexus IS 350 begins at $45,900 and the pricier and heavier Audi S4 (333 hp and 325 lb/ft of torque) is only slightly quicker and costs nearly 10-grand more. Sure, there are vehicles in this segment that outpace the BMW 135i in features and amenities, but in terms of pure driving pleasure for the buck, this luxury pocket rocket leads most of the pack.

MOTORING â&#x2013;ź ROAD TEST

Subaru WRX and STI for 2011 can still excite Rob Beintema CONTRIBUTOR

Somewhere on the undulating curves of Calabogie, you learn to trust. Trust your instincts. Trust your abilities, modest though they may be. Trust that the race instructor beside you has pointed out the correct apex angle for a corner you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see. You blast into the blind approach at full throttle, up and over the crest of a hill. The corner appears below you and you are careening through, your stomach lagging a few car lengths behind. But mostly, you learn to trust the 2011 Subaru WRX STI. You learn to trust that it will go where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pointed. Trust in the safety net of face-saving, maybe life-saving technologies, that blend with sheer performance power to make you look like a better driver than you actually are. They are capabilities that take you to the adrenalinized edge and hold you there, teetering maybe, but safely, securely. We were at Calabogie Motorsports Park near Ottawa to test the 2011 Subaru WRX and the WRX STI. They are the two top end stages in the evolution of Impreza, the humble econo car that is the entrylevel vehicle to the Subaru lineup. In fact, I had arrived at the track at the wheel of a basic Impreza, a fourdoor, five-seater sedan with the 170 hp 2.5-litre SOHC engine, listing at a $20,995 starting price and with all the urban-friendly utility and nimbleness of a standard small econo commuter. But even at that modest level, the Impreza carries the genetic imprint of its rallying DNA â&#x2030; the flatfour boxer engine with its low centre of gravity and the all-wheel-drive security that is standard issue across the entire Subaru lineup.

2011 WRX

So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s start with the first upgrade of Impreza, the WRX that, like its STI derivative is available in both four-door sedan and five-door hatchback models ($900 more than sedan). Both models have adopted the new wide-

body design along with more striking styling design. Subaru recently upgraded performance, so this year itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about â&#x20AC;&#x153;adding more show to the goâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new wide-body designs for the 2011 WRX give this performance icon

TWO 2011 SUBARU WRX STI models are

even more compelling allwheel drive performance package.” Wider fenders, a jutting lip spoiler, a larger grille and bigger bumper intakes, along with blacked-out styling accents, set a more aggressive tone this year. But the wide-body styling is more than just an aggressive road pose to please its young audience. The wide-body reflects an actual increase in track width dimensions, now measuring 1530 mm (60.2 in.) up front, compared to 1495 mm (58.9 in.) on the 2010 WRX model. The rear track has also been bumped to a 1540 mm (60.6 in.) width, up from 1500 mm (59.1 in.). And the standard wheel sizes have grown accordingly, with eight-inch wheel width instead of seven inches. Tire sizes are up to 235/45R17, compared to 225/45R17. The wider stability, larger contact patches and increased grip are bolstered by firmer rear subframe bushings, for improved cornering stability. Inside, there are new audio systems with Bluetooth and iPod/USB Integration. The one-piece black racing seats are accented by red stitching. Nice and sporty but the overall effect is subtle, reflecting the WRX’s surprisingly civilized ride and handling. Bearing in mind that the WRX comes only

with a five-speed manual, this car will please even family partners who aren’t into performance with its friendly all-day levels of comfort and conveniences. There’s a tendency to overlook the WRX as an intermediate step between the Impreza econobox and the full-blown STI model but this 265 hp model has plenty to offer at a more affordable price.

2011 WRX STI

Of course, for top-ofthe-line power and a handling package that made its bones on the World Rally Championship stages, we have to look at the WRX STI flagship of the Subaru lineup. “This is our hardcore performance model,” said Hiroshi Mori, the project manager who seems to be somewhat of an enthusiast himself. At the Canadian launch, he was happily showing off photos of the modified STI he races. That kind of enthusiasm shows in a 2011 WRX STI that has bolstered the new wide-body design with a retuned suspension for even sharper handling. Ride height has been lowered and there are new pillow-ball bushings in front with stiffer bushings for the rear to improve camber and toe stiffness. Spring rates have increased by 15.6 per cent in front and a whopping See Subaru B9

53 per cent in the rear. Even the stabilizer bars are 1 mm thicker, front and back, for less body roll and better control. New, lighter 18-inch Enkei aluminum wheels reduce unsprung weight by 2 kg per wheel. And, even though the turbocharged 2.5-litre r305 hp engine power remains unchanged, the suspension adjustments and wider track contribute enough to significantly improve performance. As proof, in April 2010, Tommi Makinen broke Subaru’s Nurburgring record with a 7:55 lap in the 2011 STI, shaving four seconds off the previous car’s best time. And, lest we forget, the wing spoiler is back and as big as life, promising an improved drag coefficient and zero lift for high-speed stability. More importantly, I think, the wing, along with the wide-body design and edgier styling regains some ground lost to past refinements that tended to make the STI look too “soft” compared to its nemesis, the Mitsubishi Evo. But soft it isn’t, with a long list of driver-selectable handling technologies that include the exclusive Multi-Mode Driver Controlled Centre Differential (DCCD) version of Subaru’s Symmetrical Fulltime All-Wheel Drive system, Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-DRIVE) and a Multi-Mode Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) system. I can’t do justice to all

those technologies in this space, or even touch on the abundance of comforts and conveniences that make even this performance rocket a userfriendly commuter for day-to-day driving. For those who want to have their cake and eat it too, the ultimate WRX STI Sport-tech features a power sunroof, xenon High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights, automatic climate control, mirror-integrated LED turn signals, a Pioneer AVIC in-dash navigation/audio system (AM/FM/CD/ MP3/WMA) with detachable touch screen and Pi-

MOTORING ▼ DREAM CRUISE

Motor City hosts world’s largest one-day motor event DETROIT, Mi.— Even a morning of rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of car buffs at the 16th annual Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit on August 21. For those who have never been to this automotive extravaganza, the best description I can come up with is it’s the “ultimate celebration of the automobile.” And, there’s no better place than the Motor City to host an event that brings

together the world’s largest congregation of antique, special interest and exotic vehicles in any one place at the same time. Because there is no admission charge and participants come and go as they please, there is no way to get an exact count on the number of vehicles or the size of the crowd. However, best estimates peg the vehicle count at 40,000 to 50,000 during the daylong event and crowd sizes range

DOZENS OF SHELBY MUSTANGS were on hand in the Mustang Alley area of Ferndale. from one to one-and-ahalf million people. While the Dream Cruise is officially held on the third Saturday in Au-

gust, it is really a weeklong automotive love-in. Cruisers start arriving the weekend before and on the evenings lead-

ing up to the Saturday Dream Cruise, Woodward Avenue traffic becomes bumper to bumper and crowds line the sidewalks

keep things under control. The Dream Cruise is also unique in that drivers do actually get to do some cruising along famed Woodward Avenue from Pontiac in the north to Ferndale in the south, through nine communities in the Detroit suburbs. For the Dream Cruise, these communities host a variety of family events and car shows. Woodward Avenue is four lanes in each direction through this part of Detroit so in effect, the Dream Cruise is a 16mile loop with the inner two lanes devoted mainly to cruisers from morning until night. Virtually all stores and businesses except restaurants and gas stations along the cruise route close shop for the day (many rent their parking lots out to car clubs and businesses who set up tables, hire bands and caterers and invite their best clients to watch the action). Being so close to Canada, thousands of Canadians, mainly from Ontario, arrive for the event. Our hotel parking lot featured a car show of its own with Chevelles, Camaros and ‘Cudas from the sixties joining the Shelby Cobra Mustangs and Mustang GTs from the current era. That’s what makes the Dream Cruise so interesting. You get a mix of the old and new, collectible and exotic. Last year the Big Three manufacturers were absent due to the downturn in the auto industry. This year they were back in force with huge displays showcasing their new products and examples of models from the past. In the community of Ferndale, for example, was Mustang Alley, featuring more than 500 Mustangs of all vintages. Ford was front and centre there with a big display of what’s new on their front, including the Boss 302 Mustang, which will be unveiled shortly as a 2012 model. Similarly, GM and Chrysler had displays of their own in other areas along the cruise route. Rain or no rain, Woodward is an event that is so unique that any car lover should make a point of attending, at least once. As a friend of mine commented, “there are more cars than we ever saw “back in the day”. Almost every Mopar is a Hemi, every Mustang a Shelby and every Chevy an SS.” It doesn’t get much better than that
