Trustees feel Adjusting to NFL world of instant fame parents not being heard Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

The Central Okanagan school board will deal directly with parent advisory councils and school planning councils until the district-wide parent group can attract more parents, trustees decided Wednesday. Despite the protests of two Central Okanagan Parent Advisory Council members, school trustees say they no longer feel they are getting the input of local parents to their decision-making process. So the board has opted to bypass COPAC until such time as that group can start holding meetings with enough members in attendance to proceed under its own bylaws. “For some time now we’ve been asking what we can do in order to have more input from parents,” said trustee Moyra Baxter, noting COPAC’s failure to provide feedback has held up the process on major decisions at times. “I don’t think we should look at this negatively,” she said, noting the board is still going to parents for feedback. “This is about how we receive that information and take it as reflective of a parent group.”

As board members filed into the school board meeting room on Wednesday, a new board member from the B.C. Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils, the provincial umbrella organization under which COPAC operates, approached Baxter and told her the trustees had no right to even raise the issue. His attendance had not been scheduled into the meeting, however, and he had to leave before he could formally address the rest of the board. Board chairman Rolli Cacchioni said he had received a call from BCCPAC president Ann Whiteacker prior to the meeting who made the same suggestion. But those protests were largely dismissed as trustees pointed out they were not challenging COPAC’s right to exist so much as finding an interim measure to deal with its absence. Current COPAC president Sharlene Drohomereski told the board she believes the trustees simply need to bare with the organization as it tries to restructure and adapt to changing times.

WEST KELOWNA’S Danny Watkins works out with some weights Thursday at Pinnacle Elite Athlete at See Parents A8

Kelowna’s Capital News Centre. Watkins was a recent NFL 1st round draft pick of the Philadelphia Eagles.

As a highly-touted prospect at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, Danny Watkins achieved a certain degree of fame in the football world. But little, it seems, could have prepared the 6-foot-4, 310-pound West Kelowna product for the magnitude of fanfare and adoration that follows a first-round draft pick of the National Football League’s Philadelphia Eagles. During a recent visit to Pennsylvania to meet with his new team, Watkins was overwhelmed by the attention that he—a football player with a firefighting background— elicited from fans in the City of Brotherly Love. “I can’t walk down the road without someone walking up to me and asking for a picture and start talking to me,” said Watkins, 26, prior to working out Thursday at Pinnale Elite Athlete at the Capital News Centre in Kelowna. “It’s not bad, I don’t mind it. But after a while it gets a little much. We went out for lunch and I went out to wash my minds, and the security guy had to come and get me because I couldn’t make it back. “I know they really appreciate that I was a blue-collar guy and you don’t want to be rude. I’ll just have to get used to it.” See Fame A7

Snow wheelers save elderly couple stuck in the backcountry Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Suzanne Lepage is eternally grateful to the ‘snow wheelers’ who were up in the Belgo area on Mother’s Day. She and her husband, her 28year-old son and their three dogs went for a Sunday drive into the Haddo and Grizzly Lake area to see how things were, in preparation for a Victoria Day weekend camping trip. They took a little picnic and planned to enjoy a bit of fresh air and a day in the wild. All that changed when they drove the truck around a corner and into a four-foot deep drift of snow. “We were stuck. We climbed up on the snow at first, but then we sunk in,” she recalled. When she got out to try and help dig the truck out, she found herself in snow up to her waist, with just shoes and socks on. She got soaking wet and icy cold in minutes.

▼ REMUNERATION

Task force holds the line on salary hikes for mayor, council Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

If Kelowna politicians heed the findings of a citizen task force that looked into their wages, public office won’t come with a pay raise until 2014. “The task force felt that council should take a

leadership role showing restraint and fiscal responsibility, indicated by the economic climate coming out of the recession,” reads a report that will be presented to council Monday. “A conservative approach is recommended with respect to increasing any direct costs to tax pay-

ers and to therefore consider a modest and gradual increase schedule as the economy finishes ramping back.” If the recommendations are the direction council will take, the mayors wage will stay at $89,457 for 2012 and 2013, while councillors

will see their yearly wage stick at $31,310. When 2014 rolls around, the mayor’s wage will be adjusted to match the consumer price index for the previous year. While wage increases were one issue that the task force was convened to look at last February, they

were also asked to weigh in on whether councillors should receive benefits, and their answer was no. “A primary consideration in reviewing benefits was the one-third indemnity for councillors that is provided tax-free,” reads the report. “This savings, as well as the part

time status of the position, (lead) to consensus that the premiums for extended health/medical/dental remain the responsibility of each individual councillor.” The mayor’s eligibility for benefits, on the other hand, was another issue. “The mayor’s duties and

responsibilities were considered full-time and the recommended remuneration must therefore take this under consideration,” reads the report, “it’s recommended the city be responsible for 50 per cent of the premiums for an extended health benefit package for the mayor.”

The mystery behind Kelowna’s missing atheist ads may never be solved, but the club that paid to put them up doesn’t have sour grapes. Instead, they’re extending a thank-you to the thief. “Whoever removed the signs, if they intended us harm, they achieved the opposite,” said Guy King, head of the Kelowna branch of the Centre for Inquiry, noting it should cost club members $210 to replace the ads. “They gave us a gift, in terms of publicity. The new signs will be up soon, and hopefully someone will rip them off again.” The adverts that were literally ripped-off from the broad side of two buses weeks ago read: “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.” Those very same signs should be up soon as soon

as the club works out a few kinks with Lamar advertising, the company that runs the ad side of the bus business, and King hopes their return will spark further conversation. “The aim is to get some discussion going and this caused such controversy, particularly in Kamloops, that they’re really doing what we wanted,” he said. “That, and we wanted to bring out of the closet the rest of the non believers who didn’t realize there was an organization like ours.” The Centre for Inquiry, he explained, isn’t a temple to non-belief so much as it as an organization for skeptics who want to question things. And, while this ad served that purpose, King said the organization’s next stab at stirring the pot via public transit will get even more chins wagging. Some time after summer, the new campaign will see a couple of buses

‘‘

WHOEVER REMOVED THE SIGNS, IF THEY INTENDED US HARM, THEY ACHIEVED THE OPPOSITE. Guy King, Centre for Inquiry

sporting a sign that says: “Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence.” Below those words, the ad will list things like, ghosts, God, Allah, UFOs, Satan and gnomes. Plans for that campaign were in the works long before the more recent ads were removed. “They’ll start out east, and come out here,” King said, noting that the ads actually started being pasted onto buses in England the first time, three to four years ago.

And, while there’s been the odd kerfuffle over the course of their proliferation, Kelowna’s reaction has been unique. “Nobody has had this happen to them before,” he said about the case of the mysteriously missing signs. “We’ve either got one fanatical religious person or it’s a mistake.” That said, King pointed out that it would be an 11-foot long, 2.5-foot high mistake, so that’s the less likely option. Earlier this week the city announced an investigation by the service operator found no evidence of unauthorized entry into the Kelowna Regional Transit yard, nor detected removal of the signs by anyone before they were discovered missing on April 29. With no witnesses or video surveillance to go on, how and when the advertisements were removed remains unknown. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

here have been some interesting comments directed my way this past week, some of which I just discount right off the bat, and some of which come from a lack of understanding of the news business. I admit I don’t have much tolerance for off-roading because so much long-lasting damage has been done in the backcountry by people driving off-road vehicles. Yet I too drive such vehicles. I just don’t drive them off the road and through domestic water reservoirs, ponds, wetlands, creeks, riparian areas, grasslands, meadows or alpine areas where delicate plants can take years to recover in the short seasons at high elevations. I don’t do it just because it’s illegal. I don’t do it because I enjoy and respect the Okanagan’s natural environment and the wild inhabitants who call it home. Years ago, there were only a few of us who enjoyed the backcountry, so the occasional idiot who tore up a wet meadow or drove through a creek had less impact. However, today, every Tom, Dick and Harriet has laid claim to it. And that means we can’t all make our own roads and trails wherever we wish or there will be nothing left to enjoy in the backcountry for anyone. In the past week, I’ve written a couple of news stories about trucks with monster tires seen camping up in the Belgo Creek area last Friday.

JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS

THIS WAS ONCE a rare patch of Okanagan grassland, but because of new trails

carved out by unauthorized off-road use, it’s now bare ground that becomes a creek bed after heavy rains. Back country ethics demand that we stay on the roads and trails. Staff from the irrigation district, whose watershed that’s in, were concerned because trucks had been driving through Belgo Creek directly above the district’s domestic water intake. Not only does that stir up sediment that gets into the intake and requires more treatment at the utility’s plant, but it also continues downstream to create problems for other utilities and for aquatic creatures all along the line. As well, there’s always the possibility of fluid leaks from such vehicles because they’re frequently being driven hard, and none of those fluids are healthy to drink. Naturally, since there were dozens of trucks at a large camp in the bush adjacent to Greystokes Provincial Park, the staff assumed those were the culprits who had driven through the creek. No group had informed the irrigation district they would be having a gathering in the watershed, much less whether they would be responsible

users or not, and the district is responsible for protecting the source of their drinking water of behalf of the public. I wrote about that, but had no way of reaching any of those camped out to ask them any questions to include in the news story. In such instances, I always hope to be able to reach those on the other side of the story for a follow-up in the next issue. Luckily, one of those involved in the relatively new Okanagan Backcountry Association called me and left his phone number so I was able to interview him for the follow-up in Wednesday’s paper. There’s a further follow-up in today’s paper, because an older couple who got their truck stuck in a snowdrift up near Haddo Lake, contacted me to say one of those ‘snow wheelers’ had rescued them late in the evening on Mother’s Day and towed them to safety after hearing a plea for help on an amateur radio. However, I’ve also

heard from others, including a member of the local snowmobile club, who claim if this group is completely innocent of doing any damage in the backcountry, as they say they are, then it’s a very newfound innocence. I don’t think any further follow-up news stories are needed here, but it just illustrates how many versions of two sides to every story there often are, and what a minefield that can be for a responsible news reporter to pick his or her way through. The bottom line is ethics. All of us using the backcountry—all of us— must be ethical in our activities in the wild country that still exists around this valley. With its rapidly-expanding population, it will become more and more important that every one of us ensures we always leave every bit of wilderness we visit in exactly the same condition in which we found it. If that means we must modify our activities, then we must do that. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

‘Freakish work ethic’ key attribute for late blooming lineman Fame from A1

DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR

DANNY WATKINS did some dryland workout training on Thursday at the Capital News Centre.

While the attention isn’t nearly as intense back at home in the Okanagan, Watkins is finding he’s now being recognized wherever he goes. Such is the price of fame for the Mount Boucherie grad, who will spend the next week-anda-half working out in Kelowna before heading back to Philadelphia to get settled and continue preparing for his rookie season in the NFL. But exactly when his pro debut will actually occur remains in question as a lockout by NFL team owners is threatening the start of the 2011 season. Still, Watkins vows to leave no stone unturned when it comes to being ready to play when camp does open. “I think the onus is on me,” Watkins said. “I think a lot of guys are sitting around at home playing X-Box and I don’t think that’s the right thing to be doing. “Right now, we’re supposed to be in camp, doing our condition-

ing, doing our drills, going through our offenses, and now we can’t do any of that. “It’s great for me to come back here and workout with these guys,” added Watkins of Pinnacle physical therapists Randy Goodman and Roy Gillespie. If and when the contract dispute is settled, the Eagles have some clear and definite plans for Watkins. An offensive tackle throughout college, Philadelphia will convert him to right guard where he’ll provide protection for star quarterback Michael Vick. Watkins met Vick on his first visit to Philly after the draft and is anxious to get down to work with the speedy, left-handed pivot. “I was pretty impressed that he was there,” Watkins said of Vick. “It speaks to his character that he was there waiting, that he was excited to meet me and expressed his excitement, you know, shoring up the offensive line a bit. He explained to me that we, the

O-line, is his No. 1 insurance policy, so he likes to take care of us. I’m pretty excited to work with him.” Even two weeks after being drafted by the Eagles, his meteoric rise through the football world is still a bit surreal for Watkins. His first passion was firefighting, a profession he first learned as a teenage volunteer at the West Kelowna fire department. He had never even played football before the age of 22, opting instead for hockey and rugby. But once on the gridiron, Watkins proved to be an immensely quick study, learning the game at an accelerated pace for two seasons at Butte College in California and for two more years at Baylor. “I didn’t really care for football all that much,” he said. “It’s funny how it turned out. Sometimes I still can’t believe it.” Pinnacle Elite’s Roy Gillespie, who has worked with Watkins on and off for the past five years, continues to marvel

at both his work ethic, desire and natural abilities. “He has a freakish work ethic, I mean this guy was always doing stuff on his own,” Gillespie said. “Even before he played football, he would work out here for two hours and then spend two hours running up these stairs in Rutland. Plus in the evening, he’d be working at the fire department, then he could do same thing the next day. “He also has one of the body types that can take that kind of a workout…He’s a pretty amazing story.” Whatever fame and fortune follows for Watkins, the amiable kid from West Kelowna plans to remain grounded through it all. Asked if he might one day forget where he came from, Watkins responded: “I hope not. I just hope they don’t forget me. This has always been home. Whenever I come back between seasons or breaks, this is the first stop on the list.” whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

The Central Okanagan School District is warning parents to be vigilant when it comes to graduation activities. At the regular school board meeting this week, superintendent Hugh Gloster said he has learned businesses are marketing graduation trips to Grade 12s that take the students out of the country to celebrate and are not necessar-

ily well chaperoned. “We are neither supporting nor are we condoning these activities,” said Gloster. The district does not endorse the many bush parties which creep up around this time of year, nor does it support the annual grad kidnappings students engage in, he said, asking that parents pay close attention to who is involved in many of the events associated with grad.

••• Students at KLO Middle School made a small step this week toward achieving their goal of setting up a wetland and outdoor classroom where the endangered turtles on their school property can live safely. On Wednesday, the board of education agreed to the first steps in the process including allowing the City of Kelowna a right-of-way on the creek property. It was noted a considerable amount of study needs to be done by the school district before the kids’ plans can move forward. New Classes Starting May 17th

••• The fee-for-service school bus system remains intact for next year, despite misgivings by at least one school trustee that the relatively new charges are counterproductive for the environment and families on a tight budget. Moyra Baxter was the only trustee to vote against the fees, though Anna Hunt-Binkley explained part of her reason for voting to continue with the charge was because she had not heard from parents demanding otherwise. “I’m totally opposed to us having to put in this transportation charge,”

said Baxter. “I believe the traffic has increased since this went in.” If the board were to opt out of the payment system, Hunt-Binkley pointed out, the funds would have to be cut from classroom resources as the province is no longer providing the money for school buses. As it stands, it will cost a family $200 for one child to take the bus, $400 for two, $500 for three and $600 for four or more in the school year, at the early bird payment price. Those who register for school later will not have the option of the early payment, which ends in June.

North Glenmore school traffic concerns being addressed Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

It will be summer before measures to mitigate the danger surrounding North Glenmore Elementary School start to be implemented, but it appears a solution is on the way. Last month the City of Kelowna and Central Okanagan School District began meetings with the school and came up with a

list of solutions to try and protect both the school’s students and surrounding neighbours from a new road network which has proven hazardous. “I’m definitely happy that things are proceeding forward,” said principal Maeve Buckley. Earlier this year Buckley told the Capital News the elementary school had been struggling with the road configuration

brought on by the Glenmore Bypass. From the intersection where students cross Snowsell Road at Union Road, to the limited dropoff space for parents, it seemed her staff were on constant alert to try and prevent a horrible accident. Two people—a high school student and a teacher—had already been hit and Buckley was

very concerned one of the school’s young pupils could be next. The list of fixes is fairly extensive and includes the city establishing a landing and walkway on the southeast corner of Snowsell and Union roads and a traffic bulb to slow down traffic coming out of Wilden.

Understanding the HST

inally, some reasonable and constructive discourse on the Harmonized Sales Tax. The fact that some 24,000 Fraser Valley people took the time to listen and ask questions this week during the government’s town hall phone conference on the HST, is an extremely encouraging sign of how people across the province will respond to the pending referendum. Since the HST was introduced by the Liberal govern-

ment last year, the leading elements in public discussion were anger, and a great deal of ignorance. It’s understandable that voters felt betrayed. The Liberals did a remarkably poor job of communicating the looming tax reform prior to the last election. And it was looming. With Atlantic Canada moving to the HST, followed by Ontario, it would eventually be a matter of when B.C. adopted the new tax structure, rather than if. It’s unfortunate in the extreme

CLASSIFIEDS

that the policy was rolled out the way it was, since there is much about the HST that makes good economic sense. It eliminates hidden PST, which is often multi-layered on goods and services. It streamlines business accounting, and it encourages corporate investment. A strong economy and flourishing businesses translate into jobs and prosperity. As for the additional costs of some goods and services, estimated to average about $350 for

a typical family, it should be remembered that personal income taxes have been lowered in B.C. by about 35 per cent since 2001. That has had a substantial, ongoing beneficial impact for taxpayers. It’s time for people to move past the political and emotional rhetoric, and on to understanding the long-term implications of this tax reform. Residents will vote on the HST in June. It’s imperative that the decision-making process be an informed one.

Don’t blame the elected for the faults of the electorate

he new Canadian MP who was elected with little more than a mixology certificate to her credit, is the lead in my new favourite Cinderella story. Or, as it will be known if she and the CBC survive the next four years, The Story of how MP Ruth-Ellen Brosseau went from national joke to political powerhouse—fingers crossed. Brosseau, as we’ve all learned by now, managed to be elected in a riding to which she’d never been until Wednesday. She can’t communicate with the largely French-speaking constituents of Berthier-Maskinongé, because she’s an anglophone. And it seems as though bio details, such as her level of education, may have been fudged. She’s being portrayed as all sorts

of dodgy, but what’s straightforward is that the bartender ran as a placeholder candidate with the expectation of losing. Famously going for a trip to Las Vegas instead of campaigning, she still managed to get 22,403 ballots on May 2, more than 5,700 votes ahead of the Bloc Québécois runner-up. Since the national media started dispersing information on this particular member of the fresh-faced crew heading to Ottawa to face off against the Conservatives, there’s been a lot of discussion in our office about the shemozzle. It’s the NDP’s fault for not properly vetting candidates, some say.

She should just be

KATHARTIC summarily fired for her

dearth of credibility, say others. I, however, think she’s right where she should be; giving the job Kathy of MP the good ol’ colMichaels lege barkeeper try, as she was elected to do. And I hope she does it well; for her sake, not her constituents. Brosseau’s resumé may make it seem as though she’s woefully unprepared for the position, but the role of national whipping-woman for a topsy turvy election isn’t fair. If blame needs to be cast—which it doesn’t—it should be on the electorate, not the elected.

It’s like Catch 22 author Josef Heller said: “In democracy you get the government you deserve. Alternately you deserve the government you got.” We, as Canadians, kibitz a lot about the Stephen Harpers and Jack Laytons of politics, but even during the height of local campaigns it’s rare to hear someone wax on about the qualifications of the candidates on their own ballot. How many people in the Okanagan, for example, knew anything about the candidates who were putting their time and reputations on the line to represent them in Ottawa? Surely, few, because the way the vote results rolled out was far too reflective of the national picture to indicate any insight on the part of the electorate.

People speak all the time about a broken system, but in light of the Brosseau situation I’m more inclined to focus my concern on the broken Canadian. It’s one thing to regret a decision, it’s another to try and rationalize those choices by debasing another to the degree that Brosseau’s being debased. So here’s to Brosseau—may she prove the hoards wrong in the next four years as she learns the political ropes, and perhaps inspire others to start getting involved in the process. That would be a Cinderella story worth repeating. Kathy Michaels is a staff reporter for the Kelowna Capital News. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

▼ TRANSIT

Bus riders need to give drivers their support To my fellow bus riders: You need to talk to your bus drivers. Find out what happened to the strike and why we still have service after 96 per cent voted in favor of a strike). We need to stand by our drivers because they stood by us. All you students from high school, col-

lege, and university, you will soon be out in the work force, so Google BC Transit and check Kelowna’s contract with other BC Transit contracts. Not all bosses are fair. Our drivers are not treated fairly. When buses are late or broken down and you miss your connection don’t take it out on the bus driver, they are just doing their job.

Take it to the top. Kelowna (transit) is privately owned. Why? Kelowna why are the profits going into (the owner’s) pocket when they should be going into the City of Kelowna. Wake up people and smell the coffee. Things need to change. Melody Clarkson, West Kelowna

▼ NOT ONLY IN KELOWNA

▼ MORE GRIPES

Lots more complaints What are complainers To the editor: Re: Only In Kelowna Do We See Such Sights, May 4 Capital News. Right on Jim Hair. Bravo. Only add to that, the ban on cosmetic pesticides which are still prominently displayed (Killex, Round-up, Raid, etc.) At Home Depot, Canadian Tire, and other big box stores. Ban it if you want, but when you say it is legal for professionals to spray, at a big cost to me, but I am not allowed—get stuffed. Also, one other thing that doesn’t affect me but think is really stupid. There are two soccer parks on Dilworth Mountain—one on

Dilworth downhill from Summit, one on Summit downhill from Skeena. On Saturdays, maybe Sundays, there are many soccer games at these parks which have small parking lots—at least lots smaller than is needed. But the street has bike lanes so no one can park there because the people in the shiny suits can’t bypass the parkers for two hours. Where is the give and take in this community? The bylaw officers come out every game and give tickets. I guess they get overtime to hassle the soccer moms on the weekend. Wow, what a town. Dave Lawrence, Kelowna

willing to do about it? To the editor: Subject: Only in Kelowna Do We See Such Sights, May 4 Capital News. You must never leave Kelowna. Your first paragraph happens everywhere. Boat launches— where are you going? West Kelowna just added tons of parking for trailers, Eldorado has the biggest boat launch parking I’ve seen anywhere. Tourist Information is located on a three-lane highway. Heading east, there is a left turn signal even (not many of those I will admit).

▼ DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT

City congratulated for effort made on Central Green To the editor: Kelowna South Central Association of Neighbourhoods (KSAN) would like to present a bouquet to the City of Kelowna for the excellent public process surrounding the creation of the Central Green project.

For the past four years the city has worked with neighbours, stakeholders and members of the public to create consensus for the plan. At the public hearing Tuesday, May 3, nobody was there to oppose the rezoning because there is widespread support.

The process followed by the city to create this plan should be a template for future developments— it really worked! Bravo and thank you. Debby Helf, Kelowna

COMMENTS FROM kelownacapnews.com To the editor: Re: 4x4 Group Says Criticism in Unfair, May 11 Capital News. Thank you to the Capital News for giving the snow wheeling group a chance to speak up. It would have been better if your reporter did some more fact checking before running a story such as this in the first place though. Also, thank you for

including an array of these letters from the web site in the letters section in the same paper. It shows that there is a large support group toward 4x4 activities in the region and all are tax paying citizens and many successful business owners like Mark Turton. I hope in the future that your reporters take some time to research their stories better before taking one person’s word

To the editor: Re: Promotional Lift for Local Wineries Encouraged, May 8 Capital News. Tourism Kelowna has come up with the Wine Trails, but how about the “Farm Trails” or “Veggie Trails”?

for something that did not happen the way that Bob Hrasko (Black Mountain Irrigation district manager) perceived it to be. We all need to live here and the enjoyment of our back country is a huge reason I myself (and many others) located my family and business here in the Okanagan. 4x4friend

There are a lot of other local farms in Kelowna that offer lavender tours, pumpkin tours, etc. How about some promotion of this group of farms? Ron McMillan

I was born and raised here and all those years ago the powers that be at the time decided they wanted visitors to go through town so they stopped here. That’s why, rather than building a bypass, they made the main road bigger. Not only in Kelowna, been to Vernon lately, to name just one? So, when are you planning on running for council to have a voice? Go to Kimberley, they have the fanciest and quite beautiful fire hydrants around. Dresses things up, I think. Sheri Holoien, West Kelowna

Letter hits home To the editor: I read with tears the well-written letter of Jess’s crusade for organ donation to become an opt-outonly procedure (May 8 Capital News). Just a few years ago my heart broke when our son Brett, struck down by brain cancer, was told his organs would not be suitable for donation. This was one of his strongest wishes and a meaningful way to contribute to life even as he lost his own. My father gave permission for organ donation at my brother’s death, and saved many lives. I would definitely support the idea of signing

a refusal to donate, instead of carrying a permission card, in order to optimize the availability and time line. This would normalize certain procedures at death, such as placing patients on life support until recipients are prepared, while families already dealing with tough emotions could be spared being approached by transplant coordinators. There’s no perfect solution, but we do have the technology and this could be an effective method of turning tragedy into something beautiful while resolving long waiting lists. Sharon J.

NEWS â&#x2013;ź OKANAGAN SPRING WINE FESTIVAL

Faithful following returns despite economy challenges Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

If the Okanaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wine industry was once little more than a splash in the margins of a connoisseurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journal, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now a full glass and reams of tasting notes. Years of national successes among the valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top vintners, has ensured the event has a faithful following and they, even in economically leaner times, come out to taste

what Okanaganites have to pour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been to a lot of other tasting regions, but the wines here are great,â&#x20AC;? said Jeanie Lanine, who was at the Bacchanalia event last weekend. It marked the third year sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ventured into the Okanaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spring Wine festival and she pointed out that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d met others at the event who also said they were repeat attendees, coming from points across B.C., not just the

Okanagan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a really fun way to spend a weekend,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it gives me a better idea about the wines I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tried before.â&#x20AC;? Kalala Organic Estate Wineryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s viticulturist Karnail Singh Sidhu, noted that the wine festival events are key to building his business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps us get people through the door,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a bit off the track of other Okanagan wineries.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not something youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think would matter, of course. Like many others in attendance, Kalala is an award winner. In the Cellars Of the World competition his 2008 Merlot took a bronze medal and in 2010, his winery took home two gold medals from two competitions a world apart. The first came from the 17th annual Chardonnay du Monde wine competition in France, where

his 2007 Chardonnay ice wine earned gold. Then the wineryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Riesling took gold at Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New World International Wine competition. Despite the fact initial figures out of the society that puts on the festival showed attendance was down by around five per cent, many winery owners and vintners said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually seen growth in their business, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to nail down why. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just had more

and more people coming through,â&#x20AC;? said winemaker Sara Harker, from Rustic Roots, pointing out that she, along with many others, are still new to the industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re growing, but the Similkameen has been named one of the five undiscovered wine regions in the world.â&#x20AC;? Of course, Harkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regional pitch was also a feature of the event that showed a much more marketing-savvy group of vintners, and each region had a message to forward and lessons to offer. Those in attendance of either Bacchanalia or the WestJet wine tasting, had a chance to learn the Shuswap has shed its

cooler roots, and now offers six wineries. Or that Summerland has decided to market its wineries in a tidy Bottleneck Drive package. While newer and smaller wineries work to plant deeper roots, more established wineries in Kelowna and Naramata grow into more mature rolls in the industry. The Spring Okanagan Wine Festival offered over 100 events throughout the valley, from light lunches to gourmet dinners served in spectacular settings. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consistently grown since it started in 1995, and last year it attracted 55,000 visitors, who spent $1.5 million on wine and tickets.

The Kelowna Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Resource Centre acquiesced to closure, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not giving up entirely. In a letter addressed to city council, the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olivia Sullivan asks that the city lobby the province to reinstate funding that evaporated in recent years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prior to Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cuts of 2004, Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Centres across B.C. received operational funding of approximately $55,000 per year,â&#x20AC;? she writes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This funding allowed womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centres to pay basic bills and have services available to the community.â&#x20AC;? While the dollar amount didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cover off everything, it ensured a wider array of programming was available. Since it was cut off, centres across B.C. have shut down and in the last three months Cranbrook, Campbell River, Kelowna and Vernon have had to say goodbye to their centres. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This certainly is a provincial issue impacting municipalities throughout B.C.,â&#x20AC;? Sullivan noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would greatly appreciate if Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council would bring forward a resolution at the Union of B.C. Municipalities meeting, advocating for the reinstatement of operational funding to all womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in B.C.â&#x20AC;? Should that happen, the centre could re-open.

Holmes said the driver showed signs of alcohol impairment and, though he was transported to Kelowna General Hospital for further treatment, he consented to provide blood samples for alcohol analysis at the hospital. The driver may be facing recommended charges of Impaired Driving and Over .08. The truck was towed from the scene.

COPS CATCHING UP TO SPEEDERS

Local speed demons have been keeping traffic cops busy in recent weeks, and in response theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doling out heavy penalties.

Ours DO. WORLD RENOWNED TRAINING from New York & L.A

Members of the Central Okanagan Traffic Services Unit were manning a speed trap at Highway 97 and 97C May 6 when they clocked one motorist driving 158 km an hour, and another 144 km an hour in an area with a 90 km an hour speed limit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both motorists were charged with excessive speed under the Motor Vehicle Act and their vehicles were impounded for seven days,â&#x20AC;? said Const. Steve Holmes. The next day they came up with even more cause to ticket. On May 7 the traffic unit was conducting a similar initiative at the south end of the Bennet Bridge. Two more motorists received excessive speeding tickets and vehicle impoundments when they were clocked at 114 and 111 km/hr in the 60 km/hr zone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The secondary effect of the initiative on the bridge was to slow southbound traffic as they entered the construction zone, in order to reduce the risk to workers in the construction area,â&#x20AC;? Holmes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;High speeds in this, and other constructions zones, continues to be a hazard for those who work there. In conjunction to speeders, Mounties reported that 18, 90-day immediate roadside prohibitions, for alcohol impairment, were handed out to motorists in the Kelowna area in April.

THESE ARE THE LAST OF THE NEW 2010â&#x20AC;&#x2122;S WE HAVE LEFT.

City residents encouraged to beautify street boulevards Well-trimmed grass was the norm, but soon sustainable drought-resistant, salt-hardy, compact plants will be popping up all over the city. The City of Kelowna is reminding local residents that with the adoption of a new bylaw by city council, this spring they can expand their creative landscaping from their yard to the boulevard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We anticipate that this spring some residents will begin to plant on the boulevards, increasing the curb appeal of their home, community and the city,â&#x20AC;? said Ian Wilson, city park services manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Residents have shown an interest in xeriscaping their properties and the boulevard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This new bylaw allows them to conserve water by using droughtresistant plants instead of turf.â&#x20AC;? In September 2010, the city adopted the bylaw to regulate the maintenance of boulevards, allowing residents to plant on the boulevardâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the strip of land between the property boundary and the street. To help residents stay within city guidelines, the city has compiled information on its website, which includes the following seven tips. 1. Maintain traffic sightlines: keep shrubs trimmed to lower than 50 centimetres (approximately a foot and a half); trim grass and weeds to lower than 20 centimetres (approximately half a foot). 2. Maintain car door clearanceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;no boulders, retaining walls or raised earth. 3. Clear vegetation at least one metre away from fire hydrants and hydrant valves. 4. Mulch with decomposable organics; rock mulch is not permitted next to the roadway. 5. Choose plants that are drought-tolerant and compact. 6. Root out invasive and noxious weeds. 7. Be safe! Call Before You Dig: 1-800-4746886. 8. If you will be excavating the boulevard or blocking the sidewalk or traffic, a road usage permit is required.

For more information, including a list of suggest-

ed plants, visit kelowna. ca/parks.

Romantic love can be a very powerful pain reliever HEALING MINDS

mental challenges such as thinking of non-ball sports as a means of distracting themselves from pain—to ensure that love was not simply working

as a distraction. Again, although these distraction techniques did have some pain relieving effect, they acted on very different brain pathways than love.

The dopamine reaction spurred by the photo of a beloved was thought to involve deeper, more primitive brain structures —blocking pain at a spi-

nal level in the same way as opioid pain relieving medications. More study would need to be done to determine the length and

threshold of effectiveness of love on pain, but it is certainly interesting to learn that at least the early intense period of a romantic relationship does acti-

vate similar brain chemistry as some pharmaceuticals, proving the old cliché that love is indeed a drug. dr@okanaganclinicaltrials.com

Paul Latimer

n the past I have written about the similarities between love and chemical addiction. When an intense romantic love relationship ends badly, our brain chemistry responds with activity in areas associated with impulsive, reckless or obsessive behaviours. A new study out of Stanford University has shown a flip side to this coin—romantic love can act as a powerful pain killer similar to morphine in its effectiveness. Not only can our body chemistry act as though we’re addicted, but like a drug, love can block physical pain. In this small study, 15 male and female university students involved in the early stages of a love relationship were shown photos of their partner while receiving mild doses of pain through a heat probe on their hand. Meanwhile, researchers took functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scans of their brains. Feelings of love triggered by a photo of the volunteer’s partner acted as a powerful pain reliever–targeting the reward system of the brain in the same way as morphine, cocaine or other opioid drugs by activating the brain’s dopamine pathways. This study intentionally focused on the effects of the early, passionate stage of love rather than on more mature love relationships. It was hoped participants would be experiencing the feelings associated with new love—feelings of euphoria, increased energy, obsessive thinking of and craving the presence of their loved one. This is the stage of romantic love often likened to an addiction and which scientists believe may involve similar brain reactions. Researchers compared results against what happened when participants were shown a picture of an attractive acquaintance rather than their love, but this did not have the same effect. In addition, study participants were given

Head coach likes depth of spring camp Turek invited Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

When Jason Casey presides over his first spring camp as the head coach of the Okanagan Sun he knows he won’t be alone. Far from it. With the daunting task of organizing more than 140 players for two days of workouts this weekend, Casey said he’ll have plenty of support from what has become a welloiled Sun machine. “There’ll be tons of people helping out, from the board of directors, to the guest coaches, and the 10 coaches we have on staff, all our volunteers will be out in full force,” said Casey who was named the Sun’s 11th head coach in March. “From my perspective, personally I won’t be able to see everything that’s going on. It’s more of a matter of the logistics of it all, making sure everything is in place, running the systems, breaking down the field and making sure the practise plans are all set. There are lot of people working together to make it all happen.” Following two workouts Saturday and a scrimmage on Sunday afternoon, Casey and Sun general manager Howie Zaron will have a better handle on what level of talent they’ll have to invite back for main camp in July. More than 100 newcomers are expected at camp, including 80 from outside the province. And as much as those players will need to sell their talents to the Sun,

SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS

JASON CASEY’S fifth Okanagan Sun spring camp this weekend will be his first as the club’s head coach. Casey said the team itself is also in the business of putting on a good show. “We want to see a lot of quality athletes come in here and show us what they can do, show us they want to be here,” said Casey, who joined the Sun coaching staff in 2007. “But it’s a two-way street, so we, as coaches, have to bring our A game, too. We’re selling ourselves to new recruits the same way they’re selling their talents to us. It’s the same message to the veterans we

want to come back. We have a great organization, a nice facility and a great city. We need to show them this is where they want to be.” In his fifth season with the Sun, Casey expects the talent pool at spring camp to be the deepest yet. Thanks in large part to the social media, Casey has been able to get a pretty good read on the talent pool coming to camp and what various players have to offer. “I think the depth is

phenomenal,” said Casey. “I’ve been in contact with the vast majority of these guys on Facebook, and it’s great to have that quick response. With things like You tube guys can get game film to you right away, you don’t need that hard copy anymore. It’s amazing how the social media makes these guys easily accessible. It’s a good way to recruit and get to know the guys.” As for the most fierce areas of competition ex-

pected at spring camp, Casey is happily hardpressed to choose one over the other. “I think we’ll have some fantastic battles at receiver, I think our D-line will be solid some new guys coming in with six to eight guys coming back,” said Casey, who will also retain his duties as defensive coordinator. “We have a lot of O-lineman and that’s great because it’s such a tough area to recruit. I’m really exicted to see the O-line and D-line do battle. Really, I think there’ll be great battles all across the field.” And on the subject of being at the helm of the Sun for the first time, Casey doesn’t expect to be re-inventing the wheel. “I don’t think there’s anything major I need to do as a head coach. The Okanagan Sun has been a top-notch organization for 30 years and we have players calling here wanting to play because of the Sun aura. “I’m just one part of this and regardless of what capacity I’m in, I’m excited to do what I can to help bring a championship here. I know I’m far from perfect and I know I’ll need the help of all the 10 assistants and the rest of the team if we’re going to get to that next level.” On-field sessions at spring camp will go Saturday at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. at the Apple Bowl and Parkinson practice fields, with a scrimmage set for Sunday, May 15 at 11:30 p.m. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

to Lions’ camp Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Dan Turek promises he won’t let the newfound recognition go to his head. Then again, an invitation to attend B.C. Lions’ rookie camp next month isn’t something the Okanagan Sun receiver is going to take lightly, either. “It’s been a dream of mine for a long time, to play in the CFL,” said Turek. “This is only the first step, I can’t count my chickens, but it’s awesome to get the chance. I know there’s lots of work to be done, I’m happy and proud to have made it this far. I owe huge thanks for this to the Okanagan Sun.” Turek will be in Kamloops June 2 for the start of the Lions’ rookie camp. And depending on how the 6-foot-3 Winnipeg product performs, he could be invited back to the club’s camp starting June 5. Turek auditioned his talents for the Lions at a free agent camp earlier this month in Surrey where players performed several drills to test their speed, agility and general understanding of what Lions coaches were teaching. According to the team’s assistant to the GM, Turek had passing grade on all counts. “The thing we liked is he’s a big kid with an ability to move and run pretty good for a junior player,” said Lions assistant to the

Dan Turek GM, Neil McEvoy. “He seemed to grasp what we were asking him to do, sometimes these camps can be tough on young guys but he dealt with it fairly well.” Turek has put up some big numbers in his three seasons with the Sun: 112 catches for 2,238 yards and 17 majorsm, including playoffs. He was also the BCFC rookie of the year in 2008 and an all-Canadian in 2009. Turek credits former Sun head coach and exCFL receiver Jay Christensen with much of his progress to date. “Jay has been an idol of mine, he’s guided me and coached me along the way and has really had a lot to do with where I am right now,” said Turek. While the Lions rookie camp comes as welcome news, Turek’s most immediate focus is on the Sun’s spring camp this weekend where competition is expected to be fierce. See Turek A25

Sailing starts Mustangs new ▼ HIGH SCHOOL GOLF

CO champions The defending provincial A champion Immaculata Mustangs are the 2011 Central Okanagan high school golf champs. Paced by Michael Lee’s 76—including a hole-in-one on the eighth—the Mustangs posted a 309 team score Monday at Sunset Ranch, eight strokes better than the runner-up Mt. Boucherie Bears. KSS was third at 325. Joining Lee on the winning team is John Mlikotic (77), Colin Hasick (78), Jimmy Bobyn (78), Steven Lee and James Casorso. Brett Moore, who led Boucherie to a secondplace showing had the

best individual score of the day with 75. Lee had 76, while Mliktoic came in at 77 to place third. Rutland’s Madison Kapchinsky was the top female at 81. The Okanagan Valley championships are set for next Monday at Talking Rock in Chase. Immaculata will represent the city in A competition, while MBSS, KSS and RSS will play in the AAA division. GESS would have qualified for AA but are declining from attending because not enough players are able to commit for the tournament.

JULIAN ASSELSTINE, a 6-foot-8 forward, will play with the UBC Okanagan Heat men’s basketball team in 2011-12.

Heat land 6-foot-8 forward B.C. U16 team two summers ago, and then this past year played with the Drive Elite U17 basketball team. He currently trains with the Basketball B.C. Centre for Performance. Asselstine is enrolled in the engineering program at UBC Okanagan, one of the main factors in his decision to commit to the Heat program. Another big reason for relocating to Kelowna was the ability for him to keep playing basketball and at the highest possible level. “I wanted to be able to play high level basketball as well as get a good edu-

cation,” said Asselstine. “The jump to CIS was also a factor. I am very excited to play in the Canada West.” Julian was the captain of his high school basketball team Grades 10 through 12 and is a strong student with high academic goals. “This is exactly the kind of student athlete that we envisioned coming to UBC Okanagan when we joined Canada West,” added Semeniuk. “A character person with a strong desire to achieve in his chosen academic field. This is the type of student athlete we need to build a quality program.”

Turner ended in 19th and 21st respectively. Elizabeth Hardy started the event off with an excellent 10th place finish in the competitive Radial fleet, but faltered after a series of spectacular capsizes that resulted in a serious wrist injury. Heather Halperin finished in 13th place, Adam Sorensen in 15th, while Hardy still managed to secure 16th place. While this was the season start for many of the COSA Race Team members, Kirby and Sorensen began the 2011 sailing season off with a April regatta in Vancouver at Kitten Cup, where Kirby secured a 20th in the Laser fleet and Sorensen finished in 26th in the massive Radial class. The COSA Race Team has a busy spring schedule, which includes competitions in May at COSA’s Springtime Regatta, and Cultus Lake’s annual sailing event. Anyone interested in sailing lessons or racing should call COSA at (250) 764-2203, which plays home to the Regional Sailing Team and Canada’s largest learn to sail program.

“First things first, spring camp is my main concern,” he said. “There are a lot of guys coming out, so it sounds like I’m going to have to fight for my job here. It’s what the Okanagan Sun expect and I’m going to take it seriously.”

Because Turek has one more season of junior eligibility remaining, McEvoy said this will be a year mostly of evaluation of the lanky receiver. Then in 2012, if Turek continues to make progress, he could become a more prominent figure in the Lions’ future plans.

The UBC Okanagan men’s basketball squad rhas added some much needed size to its roster for the program’s inaugural season of CIS competition. Julian Asselstine, a 6-foot-8, 195-pound post/ forward from Charles Best Secondary in Coquitlam will join the Heat for the 2011-12 campaign. After already signing two key guards— tBret Macdonald and Yassine Ghomari—head coach Darren Semeniuk is happy to have added a big body to matchup with the larger Canada West frontcourts. “A team like the (University of Alberta) Bears has Jordan Baker, a 6-foot7 point forward and rebounding machine,” said Semeniuk. “We were definitely lacking players that could matchup with that calibre of player. With the signing of Julian we have a chance to slow guys like Baker down a bit. “Julian is long and athletic, with his size and quickness he will be huge for us on the defensive end.” Asselstine averaged 20 points per game in his Grade 12 year with an average of 12 rebounds per game, playing in the very competitive Fraser Valley North league.

Members of the Central Okanagan Sailing Association (COSA) racing team put their skills to the test last weekend at the Spring Dinghy Championships at the Royal Victoria Yacht Club. Elizabeth Hardy, Adam Sorensen, and Heather Halperin competed in the large Radial fleet, while sailors Emerson Kirby, Thomas Hardy, and Christopher Turner raced in the Laser fleet. Strong winds and even stronger currents made for difficult sailing on the first day of the competition. Okanagan Regional Coach, Devin Rubadeau, observed that with a very strong spring tide, it was possible that sailors could work their way upwind for 15 minutes, capsize, and immediately find themselves back at the starting line. As a result of the currents, cold weather, and windy conditions, the COSA sailors had their hands full at the event which sported over 120 competitors. Emerson Kirby was the top Okanagan finisher in the Laser fleet with an 18th place finish, while Thomas Hardy and Christopher

The AquaJets hosted last weekend’s event at the H20 Fitness and Adventure Centre featured 273 swimmers competing from across B.C. and as far away as Okotoks, Alta. “Our club had a very successful meet, shattering a lot of club records, in both individual and relay races,” said Jets coach Peter Wilkins.

Katie Dunlop continued her strong season breaking three individual records in the 50 back, 100 breast, and 200 breast. Younger brother Ian Dunlop broke a nine-yearold record by over three seconds in the boys 10 & under 100 breast. In the same age category, Max McDon-

ald broke the 100 fly record, while older brother Sam, shaved almost two seconds off the 50 breast mark, set last year by Josh Zakala.

▼ TRACK & FIELD

Stroda on track Aaron Stroda opened the 2011 competitive track and field season in fine form by setting a new personal best in the discus. Stroda, 15, recorded a throw of 55.92 metres at the the Valley Royals Track and Field Meet in Abbotsford last weekend weekend saw Aaron Stroda winning his discus competition in new PB of 55.92m. “I felt pretty good although weather conditions weren’t great today top results in the throwing events,” said Stroda,. “The winter training program was very effective and focused on improving my athletism with a tailored

sport performance program which will pay out later this season when it counts at the provincials and nationals.” Aaron’s coach Verena Stroda was happy with his first competition and expects more to come as the season progresses. “Aaron throws 55-plus m consistently in practice and he had some throws over the magic 60m mark already.” The Canadian record of 59.38m is held by Dylan Armstrong since 1996, the year Aaron was born. Aaron’s next appearance will be the Centennial meet in Kamloops next weekend.

Actor home to share techniques Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

“It’s about us,” Sarena Parmar says with the punchy, upbeat voice that’s won her a reasonably smooth ride to an acting career. Originally from Kelowna, Parmar is returning from Toronto this spring to host a series of acting workshops at The Rotary Arts Centre and get into the head space of an orchardist once more. After launching a successful stage and television career in Toronto with YTV’s How To Be Indie—not to mention an opening gig with the Canadian Stage Company—Parmar says her next move is to delve into play writing by re-imagining Anton Checkov’s The Cherry Orchard. The actor turned budding playwright needs to be close to the cherry blossoms to do it. While she’s here, she’s also hoping to share a little of what she’s learned. “I know that it was hard for me to find opportunities when I was growing up in Kelowna,” said Parmar. “Now that I live in Toronto, I like to teach a few classes when I come back home.” Usually, this means a trip back to the high school that helped her get her feet wet on the stage, but this time she is taking the lessons to a wider audience, connecting with

SARENA PARMAR comes from an orchardist

family, and is growing into one of Canada’s big acting success stories. Learn all about it in her Rotary Centre for the Arts acting workshops. the Rotary Arts Centre. The workshops include one on acting for the camera, a weekend crash course which sees actors work on a film or television scene and get personal coaching through a simulated audition environment. She’ll hold a Q and A session on theatre schools and the business in Canada, and for those looking to learn some new tech-

nique, there is a physical acting seminar. A big part of building any successful career is knowing how to nail an audition, and Parmar has mastered the art. She got her first major role while still in school in Montreal and landed the YTV gig in a series of three auditions. As such, she will show local actors some of the exercises and tricks she uses to break down a

scene, analyze text, and research and build a character to land the big role. The workshops run May 27 to June 4. Information can be found on the Rotary Centre for the Arts website, www.rotarycentreforthearts.com. “So many people warned me how unpredictable and difficult acting is,” said Parmar. “But you really can’t know until you’re in it.” While there’s nothing that could have prepared her for the toll of constantly putting herself out there, facing constructive and not-so constructive criticism, there were a few key things that did prepare her to succeed. “You have to really love the craft of creating a character,” she said. As for where she got her first real taste of acting, it was in her Grade 6 Christmas pageant. Her class was doing Christmas on the Starship Enterprise and she was so nervous, all she could bring herself to audition for was the role of the computer.

This year the O-Zone is being held in Kelowna, at the Mary Irwin Theatre in the Rotary Centre for the Arts.

The week ends with a workshop, an awards banquet and dance.

“I have enjoyed selling chocolates with so many wonderful and nice people. I’m better at math now, because my step-dad always asks me questions at home or at the grocery store, then wants me too answer correctly, some are difﬁcult. I’m learning job skills, like receiving cash and returning correct change, eye contact and being courteous. This boosts my self-conﬁdence when meeting new people. One of my goals was to earn money to buy LuLu Lemon pants, instead of bugging my parents for money. I thank Gary, my parents and friends I sell chocolates with for this opportunity to achieve my personal goals. Tanayia

Stars align for wedding weekend

May 13-May 18

have said in the past that movie theatres are not just for movies anymore and this weekend is a perfect example.

MOVIE GUY

Grand 10 Landmark

Rick Davis Laura Gordon and Erich Neumann are regular movie-goers at the Capitol Theatre who asked if they could have their wedding ceremony at the theatre. I jumped at the opportunity to host another wedding as I had done it at the Paramount Theatre 12 years ago as part of a promotion for The Wedding Singer. (I have lost contact with that couple, but I have heard that they are still together and have five kids.) Laura and Erich will be exchanging vows starting at noon this Saturday, May 14 and although the ceremony will not be held in the auditorium of either Something Borrowed or Bridesmaids (it will be in the auditorium that Thor is currently playing in), theatre patrons seeing any movie Saturday afternoon are welcome to come early and watch something extra special before their movie starts. The release of Something Borrowed last weekend and Bridesmaids this weekend actually coincides purely by accident with Laura and Erich’s wedding, as when they approached me last year we had no idea what was going to be playing. I just hope that their wedding goes smoother than the one in Bridesmaids. In it Kristin Wiig stars as Annie, a maid of honour whose life unravels as she leads her best friend and a group of colourful bridesmaids on a wild ride down the road to matrimony. Since it is from the producer of Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin, expect it to have its crude moments. One review says “chick flicks don’t have to suck,” and that it “sets the bar for any R-Rated comedy this year.” (Note that in B.C. it is rated 14A with a warning of sexually suggestive scene and coarse language.) In his last starring role, Paul Bettany played Archangel Michael in the

After the last vampire war, he went to live in obscurity inside one of the church’s walled cities. However, he breaks his vows when his niece is

abducted by a murderous pack of vampires. Rated 14A with a warning of violence. The Grand 10 is giving you another chance to see the Tony Award-winning musical Memphis.

JOHN FOGERTY will be performing at the Motoplex Speedway and Event Park in Vernon on July 14.

▼ CONCERT

Fogerty revives some old classics Legendary singer-songwriter John Fogerty will be performing at the Motoplex Speedway and Event Park near Vernon on Thursday, July 14, with special guest Colin James. Tickets go on sale today (Friday) and are available at all Ticketmaster outlets, on line at ticketmaster.ca or charge by phone 1-855-985-5000. Ticket prices are $55, $125 and $150 plus applicable service charges. The Motoplex Speedway and Event Park is located 10 minutes north of downtown Vernon on Highway 97. Fogerty, an inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, rose to prominence as the lead singer and songwriter for Creedance Clearwater Revival in the 1960s. That band had many hits that remain today as staples of classic radio airplay, from Fortunate Son, Who’ll Stop The Rain, Proud Mary and Bad Moon Rising. In his current tour, Fogerty has recreated a musical ensemble he named the Blue Ridge Rangers, and together they’ll put their slant on several song classics, including the Everly Brothers’ hit When Will I Be Loved, Rick Nelson’s Garden Party and John Denver’s Back Home Again. The Blue Ridge Rangers made their first appearance in 1973 when Fogerty released an album of cover tunes, but the name was deceptive as the band was actually Fogerty alone playing all the instruments. “I thought about it at least once a month,” said Fogerty. “I told myself if I ever get to do this again, I’m going to have real guys playing; I’d find the best guys I could and have fun and so that’s what happened this time.”

Blue power to the people with Mercedes’ E 350 BlueTec Rob Beintema CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

“N-n-n-rowwahh!” Or something like that. It’s hard to describe the sound of this Mercedes-Benz diesel waking up. It’s a combined chorus of engine and exhaust that’s more of a growl than the expected purr of a luxury liner. It’s a snarling sound mix, about three parts heavy duty pickup truck with a one-part trace of something else, something almost indefinable lingering in the background. The closest description I can come to is the gravelly rasp of IROC race Camaros of old. The sound seems

somewhat out of character in this context, considering this engine is wearing the body of the wellestablished and usually elegant E-Class business sedan. Even though I knew it was a diesel before I hit the start button, it was like hearing the Queen burp after a big glass of champagne—the sound may not be entirely unexpected but it still surprises you. Of course, diesels have a long history with Mercedes-Benz. They started appearing in their passenger cars in the 1930s. And after a oneyear lapse in the E-Class lineup, the newest, most CONTRIBUTED

Exhaust reduced to simple elements like water

Your best source of community news—the Capital News—now with video on www.kelownacapnews.com

advanced BlueTec diesel model debuted for 2011. This latest ‘blue wave’ of diesels improves performance and fuel economy while reducing emissions. Using several technologies to minimize diesel exhaust emissions, the E 350 BlueTEC begins with a four-valve-percylinder diesel with piezoelectric injectors, CDI direct injection, a variablenozzle turbocharger and exhaust gas recirculation. Building on that foundation, the E 350 BlueTEC incorporates several modular aftertreatment units in the exhaust stream—an oxidizing catalytic converter, a maintenance-free particulate filter, an SCR converter and a NOx storage converter. In the ‘denox’ storage converter, nitrogen oxides are absorbed temporarily, and during brief regeneration pulses of a richer fuel-air mixture, the nitrogen oxides are released, reacting with other exhaust gas to form harmless nitrogen. These regeneration pulses also raise temperatures in the particulate filter, which automatically burns off the deposits. The BlueTEC system uses AdBlue, a liquid solution stored in a separate tank in the spare wheel recess that is sprayed into the exhaust flow. The mix of exhaust gases and vapour produces ammonia, which helps the downstream Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system reduce nitrous oxide to simpler elements of nitrogen and water vapour. The process not only reduces soot and particulates, it cuts down on pollutants and the kind of greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming. The 3.0-litre DOHC 24-valve diesel V6 makes 210 hp at 3400 rpm. That doesn’t seem all that impressive at first but, as See Benz B3

Capital News Friday, May 13, 2011

www.kelownacapnews.com B3

MOTORING Benz from B2 with all diesels, the real muscle comes from low end torque, a whopping 400 lb-ft of oomph that peaks anywhere between 1600-2400 rpm. The diesel hauls like a train, especially in the lower revs and the car is only a half a second slower in reaching highway speed than the gasolinepowered version. It’s official 0-100 km/h time is 7.8 seconds. Power on this rear-wheel drive model is put to the road through a 7-G TRONIC sevenspeed automatic transmission with shift paddles on the steering wheel. The tranny offers a tall top end for good fuel economy. At legal highway speed, you can forget about diesel clatter with the engine ticking over sedately at a mere 1500 rpm. In fact, the engine barely breaks a sweat at higher speeds; the tachometer needle not even nudging 2000 rpm at 120 km/h. Fuel economy is rated at 9.7/6.1L/100km (city/hwy). Those low highway numbers are quite tdo-able, which translates into a potential range of well over 1000 km on the 80-litre tank of fuel. And while fuel economy may not be the first priority in this price range, it is a nice side benefit and, with diesel priced about a dime below regular gas prices for once, it was also f

a bit of a relief for my test costs. My personal average was closer to 8.9L/100km but my overall mix of driving was mostly in town instead of on the highway. And I might have been guilty of enjoying that sound and acceleration a little too much. I was certainly enjoying it in style because this latest Mercedes-Benz E 350 BlueTec Sedan represents the ninth generation of the highly successful model line; a lineup long regarded a benchmark in business sedans with over 10 million models sold over the past 60 years.

lineup, Mercedes always look best in black to me, the sleek dark tones offset by chrome stripping along the doors and windows. And I’d forgotten the joy of an upright hood ornament, the classic encircled three-pointed star pointing the way like a gun sight on the leading edge of the hood. It maintains a touch of class and nobility on a very modern car that traces its history back to the ‘Pontoon” Mercedes of the 1950s. Inside, the E 350 interior is up to snuff, with all the expected quality and luxury of a Mercedes. Seating is comfortable, there’s plenty of midsize room with ample space in back for your second row passengers. A long list of standard features includes dual-zone automatic climate control, power group, auto-dimming mirrors, Bluetooth connectivity, active bi-xenon headlamps with washers and cornering lights, LED fog lamps, rain-sensing wipers, Intelligent Highbeam Control, heated mirrors, 14-way power-adjustable leather heated front seats with three-position memory, power tilt/ telescoping heated steering wheel with multifunction controls, burl walnut wood trim, power sunroof, garage door opener, Parktronic parking guidance, anti-theft alarm, tire pressure monitoring system and a six-CD/DVD/

MP3 audio system with Sirius satellite radio. The E 350 BlueTec adds to an already diverse selection of vehicles in the lineup. This diesel version could be considered the sedan entry model listing for $62,500. The regular gasoline-powered E 350 4MATIC sedan combines all-wheel drive with a 3.5-litre V6 making 268 hp and 258 lb/ft of torque and it lists for only $400 more at $62,900. Moving up the price and power scale, the V8powered E 550 sedan makes 382 hp and 391 lb/ ft of torque, adds a few bells and whistles and lists for $73,200. And at the top of the E-Class food chain, the awesome E 63 AMG Sedan makes 518 hp and 465 lb/ft of torque through its hand-built 6.2-litre V8, with a top-of-the-line price of $106,900. And we haven’t even mentioned the list of wagons, coupes and cabriolets that add to the E-Class variety of choice. But the E 350 BlueTec sedan is a good starting point for a line of content-

inclusive vehicles with the Mercedes level of safety, performance, quality and luxuries that cutovers have come to expect. While fuel economy might not be the first priority at this price level of the prestige class, fuel efficiency and reduced emissions are a welcome fit in a car that offers so much content and so many other qualities.

reflects the arced design influences of upscale CL models. The inverted “hockey stick” LED light pipes up front are a nice touch even though they are an Audi rip-off. The mesh treatment on the lower fascias of my as-tested model seemed a little too “boy racer” for my taste, giving the car a bit of an unexpected, almost North American flavour. But the overall effect remained very handsome, athletic and aerodynamic, with an aggressive posture and stance that seems to hug the road.

revision took some bold design steps to redefine the classic styling cues of E-Class tradition. The biggest change was a ‘cubist’ treatment of the trademark Mercedes-Benz twin-headlight face. The four-headlight face of the E-Class replaced the classic round headlamps with new angular shaped assemblies. Two parallelogram lights are recessed into the front fenders, bracketing a more three-dimensional frame of the front grille. The car gives up its upright, squared-off staid and stodgy shapes of the past for a sleeker, more aerodynamic profile that

doesn’t work with sporty, wedge-shaped profiles and low, sloping rooflines. Superficiality aside, the Versa must appeal to plenty of buyers, because Nissan continues to sell a pile of them. This amounted to 15,000 units last year in Canada alone, making it number two in its segment and giving it 18 per cent of market share. Not bad, considering this generation of Versa, which came out in the 2007 model year, is getting a bit long in the tooth and there’s a new sedan model coming in 2012 (with no word yet on the hatchback). Part of what makes the Versa so popular is its size: somewhere between a subcompact and a compact car, and roomier than most of its competitors including several in the next segment up. Thanks to a 2,600 mm (102.4 inch) wheel base, which is longer than Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit, rChevrolet Aveo5, Kia Rio5 ≠ and equal to the larger Matrix ≠ you get loads tof front and rear leg room, and with its upright sides and high roofline, there’s no shortage of head and shoulder room either. That being said, I was blown away by the amount of knee room in back, which in a subcompact is usually cramped. The Versa provides 966 mm, which tops the rest of its segment, including compacts like the Civic and Matrix. And the Versa offers only about a centimeter less than the much larger Camry. Cargo room is also generous, with 504 litres behind the rear 60/40 seats and 1427 litres with them folded. That puts it near the top of the segment, with only the Fit offering more. Still, the Fit comes up short on rear legroom, and I don’t know about you, but I’m a little more concerned with passenger comfort than whether or not I can squeeze in a few more grocery bags. The base model Versa Hatchback 1.8 S starts at $14,548 and includes power locks and windows, tilt steering, rear intermittent wipers (great for nasty weather) and a four-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system. It also includes a sixspeed manual. If you want the optional four-speed autobox (yes, that’s a fourspeed automatic in 2011), add another $1,000. If you want what I would consider essen-

This â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Value Option Package 2â&#x20AC;&#x2122; must be purchased before you can buy Nissanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full suite of safety features which, for an additional $800, includes vehicle dynamic control, traction control, ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist. The price is now approaching 18-grand and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still rolling on a set of plain-Jane 15-inch steel wheels with wheel covers. The better bet is to opt for the 1.8 SL. This trim level, priced at $17,548, provides all of the above (except, thank God, the four-speed automatic), and adds an upgraded six-speaker AM/ FM/CD/ MP3/WMA audio system with speed sensitive volume and iPod interface; cruise control, security system and 15inch, six-spoke aluminum alloys.

I could do without the former, but the latter package is a steal. Sure, the nav screen is only five inches diagonally, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bigger than a lot of aftermarket units and includes Bluetooth, XM satellite radio, USB, and leatherwrapped steering wheel with audio controls. The screen can also be used for audio settings and setup preferences. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of tech for just over a grand, and I always prefer the look and function of a factory-installed system. Everything is well positioned and easy to use, and the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;double-thickness foamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; front seats are about as plush as your favourite recliner.

Door armrests are also well padded, and the cabin is quiet. Nissanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use of sound deadening materials is effective in the Versa, keeping out much of the road and engine noise. Wind noise is minimal as well, thanks in part to a tall-box design that is surprisingly aerodynamic, with a drag coefficient of 0.31. All Versa Hatchbacks are equipped with a 1.8-litre DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine that delivers a solid 122 hp and 127 lb/ft of torque. This bests such competitors as Fit, Rio5, Yaris and Aveo5, but keep in mind that the Versa is also the heaviest of this group. Acceleration with the CVT is a bit leisurely off the line, but builds quickly. Unlike typical automatic transmissions which give you a bit of a kick with each gear change, the CVT climbs to a high rpm, which is just under 6,000 when you push the Versa, and stays there until you reach your speed. This can sound a little buzzy when you accelerate hard, but quickly settles down when you back off the gas. Around town, this transmission is quiet and well behaved. Overall, the Versa is a pleasant little car with a surprising amount of space for passengers and cargo. Power is more than generous when you consider the competition, and you do get a lot of content for the dough. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for a head-turner, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d better keep looking. But if you need a practical family car that is comfortable, good on gas and easy on the wallet, the Versa should be near the top of your list.

Chevrolet Cruze Eco sets standard for highway fuel consumption Lorne Drury CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

PORT PERRY, Ont.—So what kind of tdriving do you do? Is it mostly highway, mostly city, or a combinattion of the two? If your answer is mostly highway, listen up. You don’t have to go the more expensive hybrid or tdiesel route to get great fuel economyã just give the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze Eco a try. While the plug-in Chevrolet Volt is getting all the ink, it’s cars like the Cruze Eco that will sell in much higher numfbers. And as gasoline in the GTA climbs above the $1.35 per litre mark, more and more people will be klooking for ways to make their commuting dollars stretch a little further. r Starting at just $19,495, the Cruze Eco comes with a Natural Resources Canada fuel economy rating of 4.6L/100 km (61 mpg) highway for manual transmission kmodels. That is the lowest highway fuel consumpttion of any gas-powered car in Canada today. The city rating is also

an impressive 7.2L/100 km (39 mpg). And this is all with a 1.4-litre turbocharged inline four-cylinder gasoline engine that also delivers decent performance, producing 138 hp and 148 lb/ft of torque. So how does Chevrolet achieve this head-ofthe-class fuel consumption rating? Quite simply, it comes through improved aerodynamics, lighter weight and powertrain enhancements. According to Paul Hewitt, GM Canada’s product manager for the Chevrolet Cruze, ‘special treatments’ were used to make the car more fuel-efficient. Many of these tweaks were developed and refined in more than 500 hours of wind tunnel testing of the Volt which shares some of the basic architecture with the Cruze, which was named 2011 Car of the Year by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada. An example of the ‘special treatments’ used on the Eco to improve fuel economy are air shutters in the lower grille that

open and close based on speed and cooling needs of the engine to improve the car’s aerodynamics. This alone reduces the drag coefficient by 0.16 and this is the only application of this technology on a car in the compact segment. The car also sits 10 mm lower than the other Cruze models and has a unique front air dam extension, a rear spoiler and underbody panels to smooth the airflow. In all, aerodynamic drag was reduced by 10 per cent as the Eco comes in at 0.298, tops in the compact segment among mainstream vehicles. The use of lighter, high-strength steel helped contribute to a weight reduction of 97.2 kg (214 lb) compared to the Cruze LT Turbo. In all, 42 changes were made to the Eco to reduce weight, bringing it in at 1,367 kg (3,009 lb). The Eco also features lighter wheels and tires. The 17-inch alloy wheels weigh only 16.6 kg (36.5 lb) each, 2.4 kg (5.3 lb) less than the ones on the Cruze LT Turbo. Low rolling resistance tires also

add to the fuel savings. All in all, there are a lot of features here that would appeal to the costconscious among us. But none of this would matter if it were simply a cheap car. It isn’t. There’s a lot of value to be found here with features like 10 standard airbags, anti-lock brakes, traction control and stability control. Even the sixspeed manual transmission (or optional six-speed automatic transmission) would never have been offered in an economy car a few years ago. The success of the Cruze is crucial to General Motors because the compact market makes up 20 per cent of all sales here in Canada. And with the new Cruze, GM hopes to increase its market share against segment leaders like the Toyota Corolla, Mazda3, Honda Civic and the Hyundai Elantra. I had an opportunity to drive both manual and automatic versions of the Cruze Eco during a recent outing with a small group of auto journalists. During the leisurely six-hour event, we drove north from Toronto to the picturesque town of Port

al Motors shuttled us to a warehouse in Los Angelesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; inner city for a sneak peek preview of the latest and most dramatic addition in the Cadillac lineupâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the 2011 CTS Coupe. It was a little bit of public relations overkill. We were already scheduled to witness the official unveiling of the coupe the next day at the L.A. Auto Show. But that first salvo of a debut double whammy was an indicator of the CTS Coupeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iconic importance, not just as a ray of hope for GMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggle out of the dark automotive funk of 2008, but as a positive indicator for the future of Cadillac itself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;CTS Coupe is the new focal point of Cadillac, expressing both our design and technical capabilities,â&#x20AC;? Bryan Nesbitt, Cadillacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general manager told us at the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is intended to appeal to a new generation of car enthusiasts.â&#x20AC;? As a lure aimed at younger buyers who are accustomed to import standards of style and per-

CADILLAC CTS COUPE for 2011 completes the CTS lineup by pushing Cadillacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art & Scienceâ&#x20AC;? philosophy beyond the edges of the styling

envelope. GM refers to the coupe as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;rolling modern sculpture,â&#x20AC;? angular and yet aerodynamically streamlined, pushing North American design to lead the luxury class. formance, the production version of the CTS Coupe is pretty impressive, carrying over virtually unchanged from the concept that first debuted at Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s auto show in 2008. In that L.A. warehouse, set against the

familial background of the SRX and Escalade and bracketed by its CTS Sedan and Sport Wagon siblings, the Coupe seemed a natural extension of the brand. It resonated with all the right Euro sport influ-

ences. But, staying true to CTS predecessors, with its angular shapes, sleek stance and modern take on traditional Cadillac cues, the CTS Coupe couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be anything but an unabashedly American mix of brash, athletic

muscularity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cadillac has always been an emotional brandâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about delivering art regardless of body style,â&#x20AC;? said Max Wolff, director of exterior design for Cadillac. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the CTS Coupe, it

was about taking something very strongâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the CTS Sport Sedanâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and extending its potential.â&#x20AC;? The Coupe starts with the shared platform and wheelbase of the CTS See Cadillac B9

Choosing the safest car for your new driver By Kate Wells, DriveWise BC Many families wonder about the ďŹ rst car their teen will be driving when they turn 16, so we are often asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the safest vehicle for my son/daughter to drive?â&#x20AC;? Generally, the safest cars are the newest cars. Vehicles have come along way in terms of crash-worthiness and have important safety additions such as front and side airbags. After all, new drivers are more likely to have a serious crash than more experienced drivers and the crashes that they are involved in are generally more severe. When talking to your teen, you may well

notice that your choices of vehicle will likely differ â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this is often the case. Stick with the safety issue and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall into the â&#x20AC;&#x153;coolnessâ&#x20AC;? factor when it comes to a vehicle your teen will be driving for at least the ďŹ rst two years of his or her driving career. Here are a few things to consider: 1. Size matters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a mid- or larger-sized vehicle can make the difference in a life and death crash. Many smaller cars that earn high crash ratings are being judged by how well they protect in a crash with a similar sized vehicle. Having said that, some large SUVs are also not an appropriate ďŹ rst car either as they can be difďŹ cult to maneuver in emergency situations.

2. Speed kills â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Of course, teens want the sporty version of a car. This again plays into the â&#x20AC;&#x153;coolnessâ&#x20AC;? factor. However, teens are more likely to take risks behind the wheel of a vehicle that has the look of speed. The last thing you want is to encourage risk-taking. 3. Teens can pay too! â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Always include your teen in the expense of purchasing a vehicle. Have them provide the gas and pay for insurance and any other expenses that may occur, such as oil changes and maintenance. This makes a new driver much more responsible. Car shopping for a teen can be a rewarding experience for a family. Make sure you take the time to work together as a team to provide the safest car you can afford. â&#x20AC;˘ Road Test Packages â&#x20AC;˘ Get 6 Months Off your â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;˘ Get School Graduation Credits

Sedan. Body styling is virtually identical from the front bumper to the base of the windshield. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the similarities end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We lowered the roof by two inches (51mm), shortened the rear overhang by another two inches and widened the track,â&#x20AC;? said David Leone, chief engineer for Cadillac. The windshield lays down at a faster angle (62.3 degrees), echoed by a long, nearly horizontal backglass for a smooth, aerodynamic flow of the roofline. The rear fenders were hand-shaped in Cadillacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design studios to visually emphasize the rear-wheel drive power, and the muscular haunches contrast nicely with the coupeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slippery profile. Up front, brake-cooling vents were sculpted into the lower front fascia. In back, a cool centreoutlet exhaust with twin dihedral-shaped tips cuts through the rear fascia. Centre-high brake lamps have been neatly integrated into a unique chevronshaped rear spoiler. And vertical tail lamps, reflecting a little of the olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cadillac tailfin tradition, are highlighted with very modern LED light pipes. I remember walking several circuits around the car at that debut, looking forward to the day when I would test drive it. So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stop talking about it, and get in and go. Your hand slides nicely into the electronically activated indented door handles that accent the shaved, slab-like exterior panels. Those big doors close with a solid â&#x20AC;&#x153;thunkâ&#x20AC;? and the inner release is also button-activated, although a manual release is hidden near the bottom of the door, just in case. The driver-focused in-

terior features high quality materials with hand-sewn stitching covering the door, centre console and instrument panel trim. The CTS Coupe is crammed with a long list of standard items, bolstered by available bells and whistles like 14-way adjustable Recaro seats adopted from the high-end V-Series model, a nav system that pops up from the dash, and a Bose 5.1 Cabin Surround audio system, to name a few. Now, with all this emphasis on artistic styling, function will inevitably lag behind form in some aspects of design. So, despite the sumptuous room, techno bits and luxuries up front, the standard 2+2 coupe layout results in the usual cramped, afterthought second row, fit only for the vertically-challenged and people you really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like much in the first place. Putting big olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Aunt Bertha in back will require pushing, pulling, possibly a shoehorn, maybe some rope or small explosives to extract her again. But, what the heck! Fashion sometimes requires sacrifice. If we were making even a nod at practicality, we would be considering the Sedan or Sport Wagon. So, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accept that, as in any coupe, the back seat is just a repository for bags and briefcases. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acknowledge that the lovely fastback rear window makes parallel parking impossible, only manageable with the optional rear camera system. And, sure, the trunk, may be 30 percent smaller than the Sedanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, with draconian-designed, bagcrushing gooseneck hinges, but it will do just fine

MOTORING

Coupe goes straight to 3.6L V-6 Cadillac from B9 for you and your honey’s get-away luggage. All is forgiven when you start the engine. Since this Coupe has been slated as somewhat upscale, it skips the Sedan’s base motor for the loftier power plateau of a direct injected 3.6-litre V-6 rated at 304 hp and 273 lb/ft of torque, all of the power made honestly with regular octane gas. That power is translated via six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmissions, with a choice of rear-wheel drive or all-

wheel drive systems. As tested with the automatic and all-wheel drive, fuel economy is rated at 11.7/7.4L/100km (city/hwy), with the rearwheel drive version doing a little better, the manual transmission doing a little worse. I averaged 58.6 litres over 410 km or 14.3L/100km. But then, I could probably be accused of having a little too much fun in this car. Which is easy to do with dynamic handling and performance technologies available to complement the engine power— a taut platform, sport sus-

T H E

pension and performance packages, and the standard StabiliTrak electronic chassis control system. If all this isn’t enough, you can ask Cadillac to bump the ante with the monster-powered CTS-V Coupe. But that involves a 556 hp Corvette engine, extra suspension tuning, more techie stuff, added luxuries, a whopping $20K price increase and it is a whole other story. As tested here, the 2011 CTS Coupe AWD already combines the culmination of Cadillac’s “Art & Science” design

philosophy with dynamic technologies and invigorating performance, offered in a uniquely styled North American flavour that sets it apart from the imports. If you like its style, it’s easy enough to love. And not too hard to live with, either.

MOTORING

Steering wheel controls optional Cruze from B7 Also included was a Connectivity Package ($745) featuring Bluetooth, six-month OnStar subscription, USB port and steering wheel audio controls. A driver information centre ($275) and premium paint ($195) completed the option list, bringing total to $22,760. The cabin is plain, yet well finished and what strikes you after a couple of hours driving, is how quiet it is. Not something you would expect in an /economy car like this. The ride is firm, yet not overly so and the electric steering performed well in city and highway situations. In all, this was a very enjoyable car to drive and with the automatic transmission it has a Transport Canada fuel economy rating of 5.1L/100 km (55 mpg) on the highway. On the way home, I got into a silver ice metallic Cruze Eco six-speed manual with similar options as the earlier car. It priced out at $21,855. Not many people will opt for the manual transmission, but if fuel economy is your number one priority, it’s the way to go. The Eco is the only Cruze model that offers a stick shift. The transmission’s gearing is optimized for fuel economy with a ‘tall’ sixth gear ratio for highway driving, resulting in lower revs. It also means you may have to downshift to pass slower cars, but I spent most of the drive home on three and fourlane highways and didn’t have to overtake any one in a hurry. I found the clutch a bit touchy, but it might be because my own car is a manual with a slightly different clutch take-up. GM Canada expects 10 per cent of Cruze sales to be the Eco model with the LT Turbo being the model leader. However, after driving the Eco, it would be my choice. There is just the right balance of economy and performance. If the bulk of your driving is stop-and-go city driving, a hybrid may be your best bet for great fuel economy. But if highway ‘Cruzing’ makes up a good part of your commute, the Eco may just fit the bill for you.

CHEVROLET CRUZE ECO

Body Style: four door compact sedan. Drive Method: front-

engine, front-wheel drive. Engine: 1.4-litre DOHC inline turbocharged four-cylinder engine (138 hp, 148 lb/ft of torque). Fuel Economy: 1.4-litre Eco manual: 4.6L/100 km (61 mpg)

CHEVROLET engineers and designers went to great lengths to create a feeling of quality inside the cabin of the new Cruze sedan. Although there are still some hard plastic pieces, the interior has a richer, more luxurious feel than most compact cars.

Bennet Ivan Hove September 22, 1913 – May 3, 2011

Bennet Hove passed away very peacefully on Tuesday, May 3 at 3:00 pm. at the age of 97. Ben was predeceased by his parents, his siblings, Ruth, Phyllis, Hobert, and Phora, and his first wife Helen. He will be greatly missed by his wife Doll and his sons Rioh, Hoberly, Rhico and Philo (now Pavaro Bhikku), as well as his daughters-in-law, Lillian, Maureen and Penny, nine grandchildren and four great grandchildren. He will also be missed by Doll’s children, John (Sharlene) Froese, Linda (Ron) Clifton and Daryl (Vicky) Froese and their children. He grew up in the farming community of Volga, South Dakota, studied agriculture at the University of South Dakota, and worked in the dairy sector in California before venturing to Canada. Ben moved his family to Grand Forks in 1948 from Penticton, where he worked for the Oliver Chemical Company. He quickly acquired farm land and established his sprinkler irrigation business. In the 1950s and 60s, Ben became the leading irrigation businessman in southern BC, with operations from the Okanagan valley to the Alberta border. He specialized in the agri-business, as well as government and golf course irrigation design. In his later years, he reflected with satisfaction on having designed and installed systems for virtually every sizable farm in southern BC. For many years, he was a director and board chair on the Interior Vegetable Marketing Board. He was always ready to try new methods and farm equipment. Ben’s irrigation expertise lead to him being appointed as a Vice President of Alcan Canada. He directed the aluminum products fabrication plant, which served the Pacific Northwest from its location in Vernon. When he retired from Alcan, he and Doll returned to Grand Forks. After selling his farm acreage, well into normal retirement age, Ben turned to trucking and had as many as five trucks hauling chips for DC Chambers to the Castlegar Mill. He retired from this last business venture at the age of 84. In retirement years Ben and Doll finally found time for travel ... to Alaska, Hawaii, New Orleans, Branson and various other destinations. When not travelling, Ben could be found golfing at the Christina Lake Golf and Country Club with his many friends and his wife, Doll. Ben, along with other community-minded leaders, built the Christina Lake Golf course in 1962. In Grand Forks he was active in contributing to his community. He served as Chairman of the Board of the Regional Grand Forks Hospital, as a Director of Regional District D, was a member of the Gyros and in his later years sang with the Grand Forks Choral Society community choir with his beautiful baritone voice. Arrangements are entrusted to the Grand Forks Funeral Home. The Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, May 14, 2011 at the Gospel Chapel, 7048 Donaldson Drive, Grand Forks. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice.
