Donations to food bank are well timed Jason Luciw STAFF REPORTER
A spirit of giving has risen from the ashes of last summer’s forest fires in West Kelowna. And the beneficiary will be the Westbank Community Foodbank Society. President Helen Holton said she was surprised and elated at the news that $25,000 was coming her group’s way, courtesy of two different funds related to the 2009 Glenrosa and Rose Valley forest fires, which the District of West Kelowna was holding in trust. “The food bank society board of directors will decide where that money would go,” said Holton. “But, I suspect that probably a large portion of it will go towards food and our building, which we still have a lot of expenses on.” The food bank purchased a duplex on Churchill Road in Westbank last spring because it couldn’t afford a lease in any commercial buildings and it had inadequate space in a manufactured home set up behind Emmanuel Assembly Church. Food bank manager Faith Lanthier said she greatly appreciated the donations. Doug Findlater “Thank you on behalf of those that use the food bank. This will all really go to good use.” West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater handed over $3,164.25 on behalf of West Kelowna Fire Rescue, which decided that net proceeds from sales of T-shirts commemorating the 2009 forest fire recovery effort would go the food bank. Findlater also gave $21,979.34 on behalf of a community needs committee, which the Canadian Red Cross headed up, to distribute funds donated to West Kelowna’s 2009 forest fire relief fund. “There were proceeds left over after the families inSee Donations A7

Group wants KGH abortion stats revealed Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Kelowna General Hospital has found itself at the centre of the debate over abortions in B.C. once again. The anti-abortion organization Campaign Life Coalition B.C. wants to know how many of the
controversial procedures are conducted at KGH and has asked the office of the province’s information and privacy commissioner to hold a hearing so it can challenge the section of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy law that prohibits the release of hospital-specific information.
It also wants to know the number of abortions conducted at Vancouver General Hospital. Local anti-abortion activist Ted Gerk, a spokesman for Campaign Life B.C., called the fact the province identifies what hospitals in B.C. provide abortion services and releases province-wide
numbers but does not allow hospital-specific numbers “ludicrous.” “It’s the only topic that is totally off limits (in the act),” said Gerk. And, he added, refusing to release the local numbers stifles public debate on the issue. The provision was included in the law in 2001
following violent attacks on abortion clinic doctors and staff in the 1990s. At the time, the government said it feared for the safety of clinic workers if specific information was released. Gerk’s organization See Stats A7

Use of Olympic tickets gets local MLA chastised NDP critical of Norm Letnick for sitting in luxury suite for Olympic events. Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Between them, the Central Okanagan’s three Liberal MLAs received just under $3,000 worth of Olympic tickets. According to a government report issued earlier this week, Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson, B.C.’s agriculture minister, received $1,247 worth of tickets to events during the February winter games, while cabinet colleague Ben Stewart, the Westside-Kelowna MLA and citizen services minister, received $800 worth of tickets. But it is the $947 worth of tickets for backbench Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick that has the Opposition NDP asking questions. “I wonder what value taxpayers got out of Mr. Letnick sitting in a luxury suite during the Olympics?” asked NDP small business and economic development critic Jenny Kwan in an e-mail sent to the media following release of the report. According to the report, Letnick was given tickets for the NorwaySwitzerland hockey game and speed skating events, including the 100-metre final.
Norm Letnick The local MLA had said prior to the Games he would be in Vancouver working at the B.C. Pavilion, representing the government. Earlier this week he is reported to have said he brought his daughter, who lives in Vancouver, to one of the events and was asked to participate in others because he is one the few Liberal MLAs who speaks fluent French. Letnick said he stayed with his mother, who lives in the Vancouver suburb of White Rock, and took public transportation to and from the venues. Kwan, who was not listed as a recipient of any Olympic tickets, did not publicly question the tickets given to Thomson and Stewart, possibly because they are cabinet ministers. In total, the government bought nearly $1 million worth of tickets for the Games and distributed them to MLAs, guests and members of other organizations. awaters@kelonwacapnews.com
SPRING SPRAY…Kelowna Fire Department personnel take the rescue boat out for a little spring training on Okanagan Lake. ▼ RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Ministries struggle with limited staff Enforcement efficiencies try to counter funding cuts. Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
With funding cuts, it’s become essential that there be efficiencies, so a number of natural resource ministries now operate under a Shared Services Plan for the Thompson Okanagan Management Area. Key priorities are off-road vehicles causing environmental damage and unauthorized structures on Crown land, including cabins, bike trails and docks, explained Kyle Beadman, compliance and enforcement supervisor
in this area for the forests ministry. With limited officers in the whole region, he said his staff now have special conservation officer status so they can be more effective at enforcing legislation such as the Water Act, open burning regulations and the Land Act as well as forestry legislation. Plans are for them to work with conservation officers in roving patrols and stationary patrols in key areas on forest roads to help prevent environmental damage. “There are way more people out there than there used to be and they come here from elsewhere as well,” commented Beadman.
They hope their role will largely be educational, but they’ll be prepared to take action wherever needed as well. “People have to learn to use the forest in a way that others can come out and enjoy it too; they have to show respect,” he said. People have no right to build on Crown land. They can camp, as long as they clean up after themselves, but not squat. This new approach will help government to be more efficient in using the remaining resources. Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick said working together like this helps ensure priority services continue with the smaller workforce from retirement, attrition and budget.
To achieve the efficiencies requires coordination, collaboration and innovation, he said. Members of the public can also help by reporting anything out of the ordinary, or activities that are illegal, from tree cutting to creeks being blocked, by calling the toll-free reporting line, the Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) line toll-free at: 1-877-952-7277; or call Beadman at 250-558-1700.

All that’s of concern, but the other thing that concerns me is that way too many of the grants listed went to government, mostly to the environment ministry. I can see it would be pretty difficult to turn down some of the wellconstructed, technical applications from biologists in the environment ministry, since government cutbacks and slashed budgets have left them in pretty dire straits, so these are important projects. However, they are also frequently projects which used to be simply part of the day-to-day operations of that ministry, and now they’re being funded by anglers and hunters instead of the rest of the province’s taxpayers as well. Licensing is a terrific way to get extra taxes from certain segments of society. So maybe we’d better begin licens-

▼ BEAR CREEK
Water quality strategy sought Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
The Bear Creek Drinking Water Advisory Committee has stated in its terms of reference that protection of water quality is the paramount objective in management of that watershed for recreation. In its first meeting April 21, that committee also agreed that it would provide recommendations for adoption of best management practices to guide the continued implementation of the Bear Creek Recreation Management Project. Chairman Peter Walters, assistant deputy minister in the tourism development division of the tourism ministry, said there is no time frame for the committee’s work, and he has no idea how long the current moratorium on new construction and closure of trails in the Bear Creek area will continue. However, he says the committee will be dissolved on completion of the terms of reference, although it could be reactivated to address any issues with implementation. The committee was formed to review the ministry’s response to the direction on drinking water quality provided by Interior Health in a letter last summer. Interior Health has warned water utilities that multi-barrier approaches to water treatment are needed, beginning with protection of a high quality water source. Key to managing threats to drinking water are land-use practices that support natural watershed function and a focus on activities occurring in sensitive areas, according to IH. Committee members include Doug Krogel of the Integrated Land Management Bureau, West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater, Dr. Paul Has-

selback of Interior Health, Darren Schlamp of the Westbank Irrigation District, John Byland of the Lakeview Irrigation District, Bernie Bauer, chair of the Okanagan Basin Water Stewardship Council and Ken Cunningham of the environment ministry. Walters said a date for the next meeting hasn’t yet been set. A number of questions from the first meeting need to be answered at that meeting, including regarding the standards for Water Act approval for a bridge that’s been built across Bald Range Creek and the future location of a trail deemed too close to a domestic water storage lake. As well, Walters said there will be integration of a variety of uses in the area on a single map and monitoring will be updated to include recommendations regarding tours. He said the bridge across Bald Range Creek must meet environment ministry standards as well

as those of the ministry of forests. The problem that led to formation of the committee earlier in the year is communications, he noted. There must be communication with water utilities regarding the Bear Creek Recreation Management Project, he said. Up to now, the Okanagan Trail Riders’ As-
sociation, which is spearheading construction of more sustainable trails for dirt bikers and ATV riders in the Bear Creek area off Bear Main forest service road, have frequently crossed swords with the water utilities for whom that is a domestic watershed. There is a history of unmanaged trail use in the Bear Creek area, which includes 35,000 hectares in the watersheds of both the Westbank and Lakeview Irrigation Districts, both of which are set to be taken over by the new municipality of West Kelowna before year-end. In 2001, it was established as a B.C. recreation site, bringing it under the forest recreation regulations governed by the tourism ministry. In addition to the estimated 300 km of userbuilt trails and 800 km of forest roads in the area, there are now 450 km of fire guards as well, along with a wide variety of user groups.

Retiring baby boomers will strain gov’t services Kathy Michaels CONTRIBUTOR
Starting next year the first wave of baby boomers will reach their 65th birthdays. That impending flood of retirements is not just a cause for office parties across the country, it’s something current governments should be planning for, said Christopher Ragan, the Clifford Clark visiting economist at the department of finance in Ottawa. Speaking Wednesday to a room full of Kelowna Chamber of Commerce members, Ragan explained how Canada is poised to suffer as the boomer generation is worked out of demographic charts, like a pig moving through a python. Not only will the process turn the landscape grey by virtue of an aging population, but expect to see governments kneedeep in red. Provincial and feder-
al governments will be dealing a fiscal squeeze brought on by fewer tax dollars from a working age population and higher expenses as the number of elderly swells. Offering just a peek at what an aging population costs, Ragan said the federal government already spends $33 billion annually on elderly benefits. That’s going to increase to about $56 billion by 2040. “That’s 10 per cent of the fiscal budget,” said Ragan. “That’s going to be a 10 per cent fiscal shock.” With few options to throw the system back into balance other than borrowing, 2040 has the potential to make the debt of the ’90s look measly, he explained, adding that the only way to deal with the issue is to start forcing politicians to talk about it now. “There is a challenge, but that’s imminently treatable over time with policy adjustments,” he said. “It just takes political

will…and it’s difficult for governments to take their minds off the urgent and focus on the long-term.” Already there are ideas being tossed about, but no plans have been laid in part because what needs to be done is likely to be politically unpopular. Among potential solutions is the idea of ramping up immigration, but Ragan said that’s “too small a tail to wag too big a dog.” As is, immigration brings in 250,000 new Canadians a year. To address the issues at hand, that would need to increase to nearly one million, and it’s a difficult undertaking both logistically and politically. Increasing the retirement age and fertility rate would also be options, but they’re unreliable. Restraining spending growth and increasing productivity are possibilities as well. Taxation is the most reliable solution, he said, adding that increasing the GST by two percentage points could cover off what’s needed in the future, though that’s a politically unpopular path. While there’s no surefire way to adjust to the problems at hand, it’s become clear that the government has to adjust. “The machine of government was built over many years,” he said. “It reaches into our pocket and takes money out…but it was built when we were on the good side of demographics. Problem is, the demographics are about to turn so the machine has to change.”

the B.C. Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Children and Family Development, emphasizing the importance of continuing Community Link funding in order to meet the needs of the district’s most vulnerable students. Board chair Rolli Cacchioni said the district did receive the Community Link funding allocation for the 2010-11 year. He noted the district wants to make sure the program continues in the future. The Community Link funding covers the cost of breakfast programs
and brown bag lunch programs administered through area schools. Cacchioni said the allotment through Community Link is about the same as last year. The funding is targeted to help vulnerable students. Cacchioni noted when students come to school hungry, they find it difficult to concentrate on learning. He agreed that if the funding was lost, it would be catastrophic and the district would have to at least come up with some of the funding themselves.

Advice on how to navigate the health care system Navigating the health care system can be overwhelming for many people. It is especially difficult for families dealing with Alzheimer’s disease—a problem the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. hopes to remedy with a workshop in Kelowna on Tuesday, May 18. The workshop will provide a basic understanding of the health care system, outlining the role of health authorities and explaining how to contact departments for information and services. It will take place at the Alzheimer Resource Centre, 865 Bernard Ave. Pre-registration is advised as soon as possible as space is limited.

“The figures I have to the end of March were 54 per cent over last year,” Lanthier said. “Secondly, last year, we ended up 58 per cent over 2008. So, if you use 2008 as a baseline, usage has doubled.” Lanthier said that 352

Secondary suite policy proves a tough nut to crack Jason Luciw
to hold off on any final decisions until after an official community plan review could be concluded, likely in September. The most divisive issue was a regulation in the policy that would require owners to occupy their home if it were to have an approved secondary suite. Coun. Rosalind Neis, who first raised the owner occupancy requirement several months ago, swayed three of her five council colleagues to side with her on the matter. Neis said she based her argument on a survey done prior to creation of the secondary suite policy, which showed that most
STAFF REPORTER
A policy to allow blanket zoning for secondary suites in West Kelowna is being postponed until sometime after this summer. West Kelowna council was divided on several issues during discussion on a secondary suite policy Tuesday afternoon, eventually deciding it was not prepared to proceed until some outstanding issues could be resolved. Council debated a plan to legalize secondary suites for nearly 90 minutes, making a few key changes, before deciding
people in the community wanted rental units in their homes as mortgage helpers or in-law accommodation. “And I’m sure there’s a few more that I’ve forgotten to mention,” Neis said “If those are the honest reasons and principles why our community wants to have secondary suites, and why we support secondary suites, then we have to come to the (conclusion) that these homes have to be owner occupied.” Coun. Gord Milsom disagreed, however, fearing an owner occupancy policy would discourage

real estate investment in the community. Coun. David Knowles also disagreed, fearing that the policy could lead to tenant evictions. Both felt use of a property management company would serve as a viable option to owner occupancy. However, Neis said a person investing in property in the municipality should live in West Kelowna and contribute to and participate in the community, as opposed to taking their rental income from the suites elsewhere and leaving the community to deal with any problems arising from absentee ownership. She also noted that the policy to legalize suites throughout the municipality would open up more
legal rental units for those tenants being evicted from houses that didn’t comply with the owner occupancy rule. Mayor Doug Findlater also noted that homeowners would be able to go before council to make a case for a variance permit in circumstances where owner occupancy was not possible. Another sticking point in the policy was the proposed blanket zoning for suites throughout the municipality. The West Kelowna Residents’ Association has told council it is opposed to blanket zoning because it would remove the rezoning process from the legalization of secondary suites, thereby eliminating any need for a public hearing for each appli-
cation. Mayor Doug Findlater said he would like staff to investigate whether council could add a notification or public input requirement, ensuring residents could still have some say in suites being legalized in their neighbourhoods. Council also opted to change parking regulations in the policy, stating that a one-bedroom suite would need one extra parking stall and a twobedroom suite would require two extra spaces. Chief administrative officer Jason Johnson then recommended that council not proceed any further with the policy, to give staff enough time to make amendments before council gave final consideration to the policy. Staff was seeking

council’s permission to make changes to all singlefamily residential zones in the municipality to allow for the blanket zoning of suites, so the necessary bylaws could be brought before council for first and second reading within the next two months and then go to a public hearing. However, council voted 4-2, with Coun. Bryden Winsby absent, to postpone the secondary suite debate until the policy had been perfected. There are about twodozen legal secondary suites in West Kelowna at the moment. In contrast, the District of West Kelowna estimates that as few as 500 to as many as 2,000 illegal suites are set up throughout the municipality.

First court date for alleged washroom voyeur
▼ COURT PROCESS
Sex assault victim’s family upset at system Kathy Michaels CONTRIBUTOR
A Kelowna man was sentenced to 45 days in jail yesterday morning for a sexual assault he committed years earlier, prompting family and friends of his child-victim to express frustration at the system that left them hanging for so long. “It’s been extremely hard on our family,” said the victim’s mother outside the courtroom where she learned Kirk Lonegren’s sentence. “Having to go through this process for so long… you can’t go through healing. But I wouldn’t want to deter anyone from seeking justice. The blanket of shame society puts on sexual abuse should be taken off.” In 2008, Lonegren was found guilty of sexual touching. That conviction stemmed from a September 2006 episode, where an intoxicated Lonegren woke a 9-year-old girl by rubbing her back and then putting his hands under her clothing and rubbing her bottom. For that he’ll serve his 45 days in a local jail, from Fridays to Sundays on consecutive weekends. He will also be required to stay in B.C. unless he receives written permission otherwise, and is restricted from going anywhere near his victim or her family. He has to participate in counselling for sex offenders and have to submit samples of his bodily fluids to the DNA databank. It’s the minimum sentence Justice Geoffrey Barrow could pass down as he explained that while
Lonegren’s crimes aren’t to be taken lightly, the case “falls on the low end of the spectrum” based on the circumstances of the offense and the offender. “(Lonegren) has significant support in the community and has led and otherwise law abiding life,” Justice Barrow said, pointing to letters from friends and family as evidence. Barrow also said Lonegren hasn’t escaped from
his crimes unscathed, mentioning several times that this case received a lot of local media attention, causing his employers to let him go from a job he held when the case first went to trial and inhibiting him from going to a new job for fear that he’d be let go when employers heard what he was facing. Not working in his favour, explained Justice Barrow, is the fact Lonegren didn’t plead guilty.
A Kelowna man accused of using a mirror to spy on a woman and her child while they were in the change room at Parkinson Recreation Centre was scheduled to make his first court appearance Monday. Dean Henry Trembley is charged with secretly observing/recording nudity in a private place. His next court appearance is set for May 18.
He was arrested on April 8, a day after the woman noticed a mirror being held under the divider between her changing stall and the next in the family change area. She alerted recreation centre staff, who escorted the person suspected of committing the act from the building. The next day, police arrested Trembley at his home.

Shelley Nicholl dren usually get a good night’s sleep, are fit and active and eat spinach regularly, even though they think it’s lettuce. Sometimes, however, they don’t. Sometimes, we get a little crazy when we have dessert in the house and forget what time it is. Sometimes dinner consists of whatever the least-lazy among us at that moment can put together. Sometimes, it’s whatever is calling us from the top of the freezer or the bottom drawer in a box or a bag. With 365 days in the year to produce dinner for my family (don’t get
me started on breakfast or lunches), I figure a few diversions won’t blow our average too badly. Still, I’m a parent and with that comes inevitable guilt. No matter if 99 per cent of the time your children are in the best hands, it’s that nasty one per cent of the time when you slip down to the bottom of the parenting scale that haunts you for days. OK, so, in my case, it’s closer to 12 per cent, but who’s counting? Expectations for parents are just way too high. We can not possibly be perfect all the time. Even our kids only need 90 per cent to get an “A.” Why do we put such high expectations on ourselves? Is it because we want our kids to be better than all the other kids on the block? Is it because we’re imaging a shiny “Parent of the Universe” award at
the end of our tenure? Or, is it because we tear ourselves up that our children will be on the road to chaos if we, ourselves, slip up once in a while? Well, I’m not having any part of it. If my kids fall apart, I’m blaming the cat. She didn’t do anything. She never made dinner or nagged the kids to do their homework. It’s her fault. Or maybe, I’ll blame the media. What the heck, it’s responsible for all the bad things that kids do these days. The media persuades kids to do and buy all sorts of things. And, while I’m at it, television is bad, too, of course. We all know that. All those shows with loud, sarcastic kids and grouchy parents are not giving children the right idea about life. They are sure to become delinquents if there
is too much TV (But, Glee is just so funny). Facebook. Yes, I’ll blame Facebook. Even Betty White said it was a big waste of time. I probably have the wrong paint colours in my house, too. They surely lead the children to misbehave and have odd thoughts. There must be research to support this theory. I could probably find any number of things out there to pass on the blame to release myself of this parental guilt, but really, I don’t need to. The kids are all right. When there was a commercial break during Glee, I looked over at my daughter asked, “So, what did you think of tonight’s dinner?” “You’re the best mom in the world,” she replied. Just as I thought.

Addiction and psychiatric treatment are better combined A new report from the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse finally confirms what many professionals have known for years— when mental illness and addiction co-exist, people benefit from combined treatment. More than half of those who seek help for addiction to alcohol or drugs also experience a mental illness.

and mental illness. Ideally, people with co-existing problems should receive treatment by professionals who are well-trained in both
chemical dependency and psychiatry and who work in teams where both conditions are treated simultaneously and collaboratively.
Such integrated treatment is long overdue and should be mandated by funding authorities. To date, not only is there a lack of vision in
this area, but also a shortage of professionals who are adequately trained to make this possible. This is why the recent findings recommend spe-

Paul Latimer Similarly, between 15 and 20 per cent of those using mental health services are also dealing with an addiction. Indeed, mental illness and addiction are often linked. For example, individuals experiencing an anxiety disorder have two to five times the risk of addiction as the general population. Similarly, those with schizophrenia are almost five times more likely to have a substance abuse problem. In B.C. alone, more than 130,000 people meet the criteria for both mental illness and addiction. Since the two are so commonly found together, it is astounding how difficult it can be to find appropriate services for both problems. In B.C. until fairly recently, addiction and mental health treatment programs were funded by different government ministries, involved different professional groups and were not integrated or even cooperative. Individuals dealing with addiction are still commonly told they have to be clean and sober before they are able to access other psychiatric treatment. Similarly, many rehab programs still insist patients stop all medications before entering. Unfortunately, this is often a recipe for failure as it can result in a person with a serious mood disorder being removed from effective medication at a time when it is most needed. Most treatment programs still require naming one disorder as the primary problem—which is not very useful when addiction and mental illness coexist and each exacerbate

This individual immigrated to Canada in 1967 at the age of 23, became a heavy-duty mechanic, and worked in a field which serviced the Alberta oil patch industry. His name is John Aldred and from his education and experience he would later build the Calgary company, Enerflex Systems Income Fund, a business which supplies equipment to the Alberta oil and gas sector. Aldred credits his business success to his
ic study. I have come across this same situation at the college where students are expected to enter an academic program only to find out that they are more suited to hands-on training and later switch to one of our trades program. The issue here is for students to find out earlier—not later—whether trades training is a good fit for them. They also need to realize that to become an accomplished trades person with Red Seal certification can take just as much effort and dedication to education as a bachelor’s degree. Both credentials take a minimum of four years. Parents also need to understand that their child can be just as success-
SCHOOL’S IN
Jane Muskens training and work experience as a heavy-duty mechanic. His $15-million donation is testament to his belief in trades training, which he considers undervalued in today’s society. Aldred believes that the social stature of trades training keeps students away. He also criticizes parents in forcing their kids to go to university regardless of what would better suit them—be it trades training or academ-
ful with trades training as they can be with an academic degree or diploma. With large retirements expected in the trades and with many students opting for degree programs over trades training, this will apply upward pressure on the wages commanded by experienced trade’s professionals. This, in turn, will provide excellent job security to those in the trades and opportunities to apply their skill and knowledge to many sectors including large companies such as Aldred’s firm in Calgary. Aldred’s donation is going towards a new building for trades training at SAIT. This building will likely feature the state of the art equipment required to provide today’s
complex trades training. It will hopefully make visitors realize how important trades training is to our economy and society. In three weeks from now, Okanagan College is holding its annual Trades Commencement ceremony. This ceremony marks the achievements of trades students from Revelstoke to Osoyoos. Students at this ceremony are usually excited about finishing and proud of their achievement. Most of these student already have jobs in their trades. Among them may be the next John Aldred. Jane Muskens is the registrar at Okanagan College. jmuskens@okanagan.bc.ca
OC chef earns honours Mathew Morazain, executive chef at University of British ColumbiaOkanagan, was one of the select few chosen to compete and showcase his creative talents during the recent fifth annual Chef Inspired Culinary Conference. During the first day of the competition, Morazain was on the gold medal team that prepared a creative array of dishes centered on pork tenderloin. The gold medal allowed Morazain to compete in the next round of the contest against eight other talented chefs, each given 15 minutes to create a recipe with pre-selected unknown ingredients. Morazain displayed
Mathew Morazain his creative and competitive edge during the second part of the competition, earning him an individual gold medal. That medal qualifies Morazain to represent Canada at the Aramark Culinary Excellence Competition in San Francisco later this year. Morazain was previously been chosen by the Governor General as advisor in the creation of the Governor General’s Culinary Protocol, and was executive chef for the Roger’s Cup Men’s Tennis Tournament.

Gout is an extremely painful condition that can effect people of all races and ages. It can effect both men and women but it is more common in men. It is uncommon in children and young adults. Gout used to be considered a problem for the rich, kings, gentry, and others who ate too much and drank too much wine. Some people have a genetic predisposition due to a disorder of purine metabolism. In these individuals attacks of gout can be triggered by eating foods high in purines and by consuming high quantities of alcohol. Others can have secondary gout. Secondary gout is associated with another medical condition such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disorders, certain medications, particularly diuretics (water pills), salicylates (aspirin), and niacin. Gout is caused by a build up of uric acid in the blood which settlles out as uric acid crystals in the joints. This causes pain, redness, and swelling. Any joint can be involved. Classic signs of gout are pain, redness, and swelling in the big toe or elbow. The pain can be both chronic or can present suddenly. A number of therapies are available. Some more successful than others. SciMed Research is starting a research trial to evaluate a new investigational therapy to lower uric acid, the cause of gout. If you have been diagnosed with or suffer from gout symptoms you may qualify to participate in this research trial. Please call SciMed Research to register for a no cost obligation consultation to see if you are an appropriate candidate for this gout study.

Sharing advice on the risks of fighting fires Training officers and firefighters from across British Columbia will be in Kelowna beginning Saturday for the annual B.C. Fire Training Officers Conference. Kelowna Fire Department will host instructors, guest speakers and fire fighters from Phoenix, Denver, California, Washington, Alberta and British Columbia during this conference dedicated to sharing information and techniques to improve fire training programs. The working theme of the conference is Small Towns, Big Problems, which reflects the fire training officer’s world these days, says Kelowna Fire Department assistant fire chief Thomas Doherty. “Whether it’s a small town or big city, similar risks and problems exist. Firefighters need to be prepared for the risks and hazards in their community,” says Doherty. “We have 25 training sessions to choose from at the conference, including two days of hands-on training and demonstrations that deal with everything from multi-storey building emergencies to the use of thermal imaging in a live fire situation.” The hands-on training exercises and demonstrations will be held Saturday and Sunday in various locations between Vernon and the District of West Kelowna. One of the practical exercises involves some live fire training that will be done at the Glenmore landfill. It is a controlled exercise done in burn containers, but area residents will notice the smoke. The official conference classroom training sessions begin Monday, May 17, with the formal opening ceremonies including honour guard and piper beginning at 8:30 a.m. at the Ramada Hotel, 2170 Harvey Ave. The conference will continue until May 20.

▼ MP’S REPORT
Ottawa committed to help create digital growth strategy I t was good news, no, make that great news, to hear that the job numbers were up again this month. In fact, the gain was the largest on record and the biggest percentage increase since August 2002. Each month the job numbers increase the more certainty we have that our economy is moving in the right direction. More importantly, it gives our business sector the confidence and motivation to create jobs and grow their industries. Here in KelownaLake Country, we are always looking to create opportunities. Last week, Weldon LeBlanc and Wes Shields from the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce, came to Ottawa and met with a few of my colleagues and senior ministerial staff to
Ron Cannan discuss the nuts and bolts of the local economy, including transportation, housing and infrastructure. Meanwhile, local entrepreneurs, business organizations and academia are taking a leadership role and working together to develop an innovation strategy for the region with a focus on innovative sectors like the digital economy. We already have a ma-
jor player here in Disney’s Club Penguin and our business sector wants to see more success stories like that taking hold in the Okanagan. The federal government does too. This week our government launched public consultations aimed at building consensus among governments, the private sector, academia and the Canadian public in developing a digital economy strategy for Canada. Our government, like the private sector here in the Okanagan, believes Canada can and should be a leader in the global digital economy. Canada was one of the first countries to take advantage of the digital economy. It was the first country to connect all of our
schools and libraries to the Internet, and led Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development member countries in the deployment and uptake of broadband. Canadians were early adopters of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and Canada was one of the first countries to implement policies and programs that enabled the creation of digital media and content. Other countries have followed Canada’s lead, and some have overtaken us in a number of areas, prompting us to look at how to regain our advantage.
A strategy for Canada’s digital economy will recognize that success will not come through a particular government program or combination of government programs, but from a concerted effort—combining government vision and the resolve of individual businesses to be global leaders in their fields. The consultations, which began May 9 and close on July 9, will be hosted online at www. digitaleconomy.gc.ca. A discussion paper posted on the consultation site provides details on the key themes being considered: • Capacity to Innovate Us-
ing Digital Technologies • Building a World-Class Digital Infrastructure • Growing the Information and Communications Technology Industry • Digital Media: Creating Canada’s Digital Content Advantage • Building Digital Skills for Tomorrow. Once the consultation process has closed, the government will review the information and use it to inform the development of a national digital economy strategy. I encourage everyone to participate. We have a private sector in the Okanagan that has the talent, technology and entrepreneurial spirit to take the
initiative in securing Canada’s position of leadership in the global digital economy. With the right government support not only will we continue to see Canada’s job numbers increase, we will be creating the high-skilled, highpaying jobs Canadians have come to expect. If you have any questions or comments on the consultation process or any other federally-related matter, don’t hesitate to contact me by email at ron@cannan.ca or by phone at 250-470-5075. Ron Cannan is the Conservative MP for Kelowna-Lake Country.

▼ CONDO LIVING
Sale process need not be onerous
A
renewed interest in condominium purchases has been a major influence driving the recent rebound in the real estate market. Statistics released for March of this year indicate a 26 per cent increase in housing sales overall, with strata sales jumping 50 per cent over the same period last year. In addition, projects once stalled at the planning stage are showing signs of new life. While purchasing any property is never easy and often stressful, buyers of strata property face unique challenges. However, armed with an experienced realtor and a cooperative corporation and/or strata manager, buying a condominium need not be onerous. Although a purchaser is not an owner, and not entitled to direct access to a strata corporation’s records, arrangements can easily be made to provide access to the required
STRATA SCENE
Gunnar Forsstrom documents. A purchaser can indirectly obtain access by “borrowing” the seller’s access rights. The Strata Property Act entitles owners to delegate in writing their rights to an individual, such as a purchaser or realtor, to inspect and obtain copies of virtually all the corporation’s records. Generally, a purchaser would be well served to obtain and carefully review a detailed information package consisting of such items as a Form B, two years’ worth of meeting minutes, current financial statements, current budget, bylaws, rules and a copy of the strata plan.
The Form B will cost $35, as well, any photocopying will cost 25 cents a page. Form B provides a purchaser with important information about the individual property being considered, in addition to supplying a snapshot of the status of the strata corporation. The certificate provides such information as the amount of monthly strata fees, bylaws (and changes not yet registered with the Land Titles Office), special levies, the amount in the Contingency Reserve Fund, court proceedings, and the number of units that can be rented, etc. Form F, the Certificate of Payment, which certifies that the owner does not owe money to the corporation, is required in order to register a title transfer. Alternatively, if the owner does owe money it will indicate whether he or she has paid any
disputed funds into court or to the strata in trust, or made satisfactory payment arrangements with the corporation. The Form F costs $15. Purchasers do not need an unconditional Contract of Purchase and Sale to request the forms, which must be provided within eight days. Subjects can be placed in the purchase agreement for such things as approval of the bylaws and rules. The LTO cannot register any conveyance to transfer title unless accompanied by a Form F. A request for this form usually occurs close to the completion date and when completed is current for 60 days.

Two Codys key for Calgary
fi t
Warren Henderson
m
STAFF REPORTER
As teammates for years in Kelowna Minor Hockey, championships continually eluded the grasp of Cody Sylvester and Cody Beach. But now, as members of the Western Hockey League’s Calgary Hitmen, the two Codys are a step away from something far grander than any provincial title. The Hitmen are one of our teams vying for major junior hockey’s ultimate prize—the Memorial Cup—beginning this weekend in Brandon, Man. “As we’ve grown up and played together, things have certainly gotten better for both of us,” said Beach who played peewee, bantam and midget hockey with Sylvester. “We struggled to win at provincials, it seemed like we always had to settle for silver medals. But here we are with a WHL title, and now we’re trying to win a Memorial Cup. It’s great to see we’re actually accomplishing something. It’s great to have (Cody) here at the same time. It’s exciting for both of us.” Sylvester, Beach and the Hitmen will open the 2010 Memorial Cup tournament Saturday against the Quebec league champion Moncton Wildcats. The host Brandon Wheat Kings and defending champion Windsor Spitfires meet in tonight’s opener. While they bring different styles to the ice, Sylvester and Beach both played key roles in Calgary’s march to the WHL championship this spring.
c a
Cody Beach The 5-foot-11, 170 pound Sylvester, who scored just 10 goals during the regular season, exploded for 11 in the post-season, an unexpected bonus for both the 18-year-old centre and his team. “Every year you’re in the league, you learn and grow as a player and I think my confidence is growing, too,” said Sylvester, in his second full season with the Hitmen. “In talking with the coaches, we thought I needed to step up my game from last year and, in the past month or so, the whole team has really been doing that. When you see what’s happening around you, you want to be part of it. Sometimes the pucks just go in and they’ve been doing that for me.” The Hitmen coaching staff has been encouraged but not overly surprised with Sylvester’s evolution as a major junior player. “We knew from the start how smart he was,
he’s been one of our best penalty killers and he’s a hard worker,” Calgary assistant Brent Kisio said of Sylvester. “I don’t think he’s changed much, if anything he’s just rounding out his game more. The guys have the understanding that the better they play, the more they play. Cody’s taken that to heart.” The main feature of Beach’s game is his grit and toughness, but the 6-foot-5 185-pound forward has also been known to display an ample measure of skill. “It was his first year in the league and like with every player, there’s been a learning curve, but he’s progressed well,” Kisio said of Beach who had eight points in 19 playoff games. “He’s a pretty skilled guy and he’s very tough to play against. His game is gritty, he’s phyical and he’s fearless. He has a very well-rounded game.” In addition to sharing
MARK ROGERS/CONTRIBUTOR
CENTRE CODY SYLVESTER is one of two Kelowna Minor Hockey products on the WHL champion Calgary Hitmen. the same first name and hailing from Kelowna, the Codys have something else in common—both are following in the footsteps of older siblings who were stars in the Western Hockey League. Dustin Sylvester racked up 252 points in five seasons with the Kootenay Ice and was the team captain in 2009-10. Kyle Beach scored 134 career goals—52 this season with the Spokane Chiefs—and was a firstround draft pick of the Chicago Blackhawks in 2008.
Still, the two Codys have one claim neither older brother can make: a WHL title and a trip to the Memorial Cup. “I know when I talked to Dustin about the Memorial Cup, he was a bit jealous,” Sylvester said with a laugh. “He’s been unbelievable and he’s supported me throughout. He pushes me to get better and he’s always nagging me about doing the extra thing to get better. He’s been a great player in the league and he’s a good guy to learn from.” As for the Beach boys’

personal rivalry, Cody concedes most of the bragging rights—except for one—belong to Kyle. “He seems to have everything on me, all his stats, getting drafted by Chicago…so I guess this is one thing I can have on him,” said Beach. “I don’t know, I think (Kyle) has a pretty nice future ahead of him anyway.” Still, you can be sure both Dustin Sylvester and Kyle Beach will be staunchly supporting their younger siblings over the next 10 days as the Hitmen pursue their first Me-

Cody Beach, for one, promises he won’t take one moment of the upcoming experience for granted. “It’s an incredible feeling to get this far,” said Beach. “Only four teams get in, so you know a lot players never get to experience this.

Joyce, Maryschuk set standard for Central Okanagan high school senior competitors
Heroes welcome for national champion Vipers
Several track and field athletes from the Central Okanagan were multiple event winners at the Junior and Senior championships held at the Apple Bowl. Kelowna Secondary’s Keefer Joyce and Sarah Maryschuk of George Elliot Secondary set the standard for senior competitors at the Central Okanagan junior and senior track and field championships. Joyce and Maryschuk each won three individual gold medals at the zone finals on Tuesday at the Apple Bowl. Joyce, a Grade 12 student at KSS, won the senior boys 100, 200 and 400 metre events. Maryschuk, a Grade 11 student at GES, took top honours in the senior girls javelin, discus and shot put. Other multiple winners in the Grade 11-12 division were: • Sasha Scoch, KSS, in the 1,500 and 3,000. • James Turner, KSS, in the javelin and discus. • Natasha Agar, Mount Boucherie, in the senior girls 100 and 200 metres. In the Grade 9-10 divrision, Jolanda Kondrak of Dr. Knox was a triple gold winner in the 80 and 300 metre hurdles and the triple jump. t Kevin Eger of KSS won double gold in the 1,500 and 3,000 metres, Knox’s Cody Hutton won tthe 100 and 200 metres, Brenden Bourcier of Dr. Knox captured the high jump and triple jump, Timothy Rodwell of Knox took the 100 hurdles and 400, and Adam

Dropping the Vernon Vipers off at the Kelowna Airport prior to their departure for the Royal Bank Cup in Manitoba, team bus driver Mike Rogers made the team a vow. Win a sixth national junior A hockey championship, and he would replace the number five on the side of the bus, fronting the message, “5 time National Champions,” with the number six. Both promises were kept. “They did and I did,” smiled Rogers Tuesday at Spirit Square at City Hall, after delivering the Vipers for a lunch-hour barbecue. On the side of the team bus, the number five was X-ed out, replaced with a six. Close to 400 fans, friends, parents and wellwishers were on hand to greet the six-time Canadian champions at the barbecue hosted by the City of Vernon, who treated participants to free bur-
gers, hot dogs and drinks. Among the first to show up for the event were Pearl and Eric Pharo, both 81, season ticket holders since 2001. The pair watched Sunday’s championship game, won by the Vipers 8-1 over the host Dauphin Kings, twice on TSN2. “The first time we tried to watch it was 1-0 Vernon, then they made us furious by going to a threeminute ad, and when the game was back on, all of a sudden it was 4-0 Vernon,” said Pearl. “We taped the game later and watched it again. We knew with Connor (Jones) coming back that Vernon was going to win. They have such great speed and skill on the ice. They skated rings around them (Kings).” Speaking of Connor, Miranda Blatny, a Grade 6 student at Kidston Elementary, attended the barbecue with her mom, Cindy, decked out in her Connor Jones sweater. “When we first moved to Vernon and watched the Vipers, Connor was wear-
ing 10 and that’s my lucky number,” said the softspoken Blatny, who had her picture taken with her favourite Viper. Mayor Wayne Lippert, decked out in his Vipers’ home white jersey, called the team true ambassadors of the city, and the North Okanagan region. “You guys are six-time Canadian champions, and the only city to have won back-to-back Canadian championships twice,” said Lippert of Vernon’s accomplishments in 199091, and 2009-10. Team owner Dr. Duncan Wray, celebrating his fourth Royal Bank Cup title, thanked the fans for coming out, and vowed to go after a seventh Canadian championship. “We will have some challenges ahead of us, but we’re going to go for a three-peat,” said Wray, which drew a huge cheer. Following the speeches, the players mingled with fans, signing autographs and posing for pictures.

Heat hosts Spring Sizzle
Kelowna Owls sew up top spot in Valley AAA boys rugby
Some of Western Canada’s best bantam fastball talent will be on display this weekend in Kelowna. TheKelownaRambow Mechanical Heat will host the Spring Sizzle Bantam A Tournament beginning Friday at High Noon Park. Ten teams, including the host Heat and Kelowna bantam B Steelers, will be competing. Rounding out the field of teams are the St. Albert Angels, South Surrey/White Rock Thunder, Alberta Wildcat Warriors, Fraser Valley Fusion, Richmond Islanders, South Delta Invaders, Calgary Rockies and Ridge Meadows Pride. Action begins Friday at 6 p.m. with the Heat playing St. Albert, while the Steelers take on the Thunder. Playoffs begin Sunday with the final at 4 p.m. that day. The Heat, who made the move up to the A level this season, are the defending bantam B provincial champs.
BANTAM B HEAT
The Kelowna bantam B Heat came up winless at its own tournament last weekend at High Noon Park, but coach Bob John-
FRED SCHAAD/CONTRIBUTOR
KELOWNA HEAT player Brittany McCarthy slides safely into second base during the bantam B girls fastball tournament Saturday at High Noon Park. son sees better times ahead for his young and largely inexperienced squad. The vast majority of the Heat players are in their first season of rep ball where the learning curve can be steep. “We didn’t lose our games by big scores, the girls were competitive, so they can come out of this with a real sense that they belong,” said Johnson. “I believe the more they play, the more competitive they’re going to get, and we hope to make a push for a trip to provincials.”
For the first time, Kelowna has two teams playing at the bantam rep level—Johnson’s B team and Bernie Penner’s A squad, which won the 2009 bantam B title— meaning a whole new crop of girls leaning a new level of ball. “This team is really only five weeks old and only two or three girls have rep experience of any description,” Johnson said. “The step from house up to competitve ball is an adjustment, but with game experience I know the girls will get
better.” The bantam B Heat’s next tournament is May 22 to 24 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
PEEWEE HEAT
The Kelowna peewee B Heat gained some experience playing up an age group in the bantam B tournament last weekend. The Heat went 1-3, their lone victory coming against the Surrey Storm (9-7). Kelowna has just three players returning from last year’s squad, with the most of the remain-
der making the big step up from the squirt C level. “We’re in a bit a rebuilding phase,” said peewee coach Tracy Light. “Playing up a level in the tournament, the girls did well. I expect the girls to improve as the season goes along.” The Heat did have some success two weeks ago at the South SurreyWhite Rock peewee B tournament. Kelowna placed first in their round-robin pool with a 3-1 record, then went on to win the bronze medal.
The Kelowna Owls sewed up top spot in Okanagan Valley AAA boys rugby with a convincing 22-0 win Tuesday over the Mt. Boucherie Bears. Graham Fawcett scored the first try for the Owls (4-1-1) on a 17-metre run, while Xavier Semelink also scored in the first half on a fivemetre run—converted by Sam Collington—for a 12 - 0 lead. The second half saw Keith Klotz score on a brilliant 40-metre run, then Bryce Stirling rounded the scoring with a 12-meter scamper. The Owls and Bears will meet again in one league semifnal on Monday at KSS, while Salmon Arm and South Kamloops meet on the other semifinal. The winners will square off on Thursday, May 20 in the valley final.

Fine art photographs created for the love of it Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
It’s hard to imagine where Gary Nylander’s phenomenal photo collection will wind up posthumously. Talk to the veteran shooter, though, and you’ll find he does think about this question a fair bit these days as he treks through the forests and beaches and even desertic terrain of British Columbia compiling an unmatchable natural history of the region. By day, Nylander works as the staff photographer for the Kelowna Daily Courier where he’s developed a reputation as a strong news shooter, winning several Canadian Press awards. Yet when the sirens die down and the lights on the school plays are off, Nylander still picks up the camera and goes right back out
there—though out there is usually a little farther off the beaten path. “It’s hard to say in words when I know I have the shot, but I’ll know before I have that picture that it’s going to be a good shot,” said the 30-year news veteran who figures he has been shooting black and white landscapes for more than 20 years. Technically speaking, it’s pretty clear Nylander knows his craft, but creating true art out of the imagery takes light years of practise, he claims. Though he dabbled with the idea of becoming a rock star in his early teens, from the time he found his brother’s Polaroid Swinger at 15 years old he has been doggedly honing his talent. “I shoot mostly in and around the Okanagan, British Columbia, the Coast,” he said. “It’s part-

ly because I’m inspired by British Columbia, but (also) if you look at Ansel Adams, he photographed mostly in his backyard. He did travel, but most of his most famous work is from where he lived in California.” Adams is one of Nylander’s great inspirations, but he fully admits this rock star of the fine art photography’s life does spook him a bit. Unfortunately, Ansel’s artistry only reached its exalted status after his death. In life, he toiled over his photography business, writing books, honing his shooting and developing systems and tirelessly dedicating every spare moment to his passion— creating black and white images of the environment with as much depth and clarity as nature itself. It’s a story line a little too familiar for Nylander. For whatever rea-
SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS
FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHER Gary Nylander takes his 4x5 view camera into the far reaches of the Okanagan and British Columbia to create his art. son, fine art photography does not attract much in the way of clients, he ex-
plains, though his work is featured in the Sooke Harbour House Gallery, was
in the Art Ark in Kelowna before it closed and is in the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University. One look at his website (www.garynylander.com), which houses a small fraction of his full collection, reveals a window onto the picturesque and diverse landscapes in Canada, if not the world, one can’t possibly replicate, much less hope to see, without the 20 year investment he’s put in; yet he sells only four of five prints a year. Working almost exclusively for the love of what he does and compiling a very impressive collection of prints in the process—he’s at 1200 and counting—he does think about where he will leave the collection to— which museum, who will look after and appreciate the historical value of the ecosystems he’s captured. For now, he has closets filled with images and bits of drain pipe in the laundry room, which he uses to fashion a daylight darkroom. His guest room houses printing facilities where the negatives from the darkroom are scanned and Photoshopped. Every inch of Nylander’s home is dedicated to his craft, though he’s quick to point out the highly organized scene is palatial when compared to the full-scale darkroom and equipment he once housed in his 600-squarefoot apartment.
Thankfully, for all his effort, there’s a new light on the horizon on the recognition front. Just this month, the Okanagan Institute published several of his images in a fictional story by local first-time author Colin Snowsell. While he’s reticent to say he’s hoping it will be his big break, Nylander will admit he’s pretty happy about adding the book publication to the notches in his belt and is working with another poet on a second shot at the accomplishment. “I listened to a program on CBC Radio one time and it was about some artist or famous musician and he said in order to get really good you need to put in like 10,000 hours doing your thing. “I’ve often wondered if that isn’t just true,” he said. “If you keep doing something over and over and you kind of replicating that time after time and you don’t change things up too much… eventually you will be able to just look and within seconds you will know whether you’ve got your shot.” One look in his lens and you can appreciate just how difficult perfection would be for his particular lens on the world. Shooting with a largeformat film camera— most would recognize one as the old fashioned wooden box cameras— he not only has to drag heavy equipment to remote locations to achieve the detail in his product but, when he looks through the viewfinder, the image is upside down and backward. It’s no matter to a seasoned pro though, Nylander explains. If anything, seeing the image distorted has a way of adding new clarity to the chaotic scenes of life before him. The Frollett Homestead, a novella by Colin Snowsell with photographs by Gary Nylander, is on sale through the Okanagan Institute for $20.

Theatres are much more than just places to watch movies
M
ovie theatres are not just for movies anymore. The buzz-phrase in the industry right now is “alternative programming” with events like opera, sporting events, concerts and more. I have been remiss on discussing them in this column, mainly because I am a movie buff and not a fan of pro wrestling, ballet or opera, but that it is about to change. These events are not only piquing the interest of moviegoers, but also people who do not come to movies frequently. The Grand 10 has been showing WWE pay-per-view events for a number of years now. The next one is called Over the Limit, on Sunday, May 23, at 5 p.m. The Paramount Theatre has been showing the Opus Arte & Royal Opera House Events. Their next one is Sylvia—a ballet

That’s when Dancin’ Barefoot will rock Cousins Park in Peachland with an event that is certain to have you up on your feet rockin’ to the classics. Dancin’ Barefoot will begin at 6 p.m. featuring legendary rock band Chilliwack singing their classic hits such as I Believe, My Girl (gone gone gone), Whatcha Gonna Do and Don’t Stop. Dancin’ Barefoot will also showcase a variety of rock and blues bands such as Young ‘Uns, John Lee Sanders, Sleddogs and Out of Eden. Dancin’ Barefoot is a one-day rock festival with a beer garden and food vendors in addition to the live music. Advance tickets are available at a cost of $20. Tickets on the day of the event will be $25. If you want to do more than just show up on the day, here’s where your part comes in. Dancin’ Barefoot is
a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting musicians in the Okanagan Valley. Dancin’ Barefoot also supports younger artists by hosting their second annual Teen Talent Competition, which will be held in the late afternoon on July 17 at Cousins Park.

Admission is free and a donation to the food
bank will also get you a 46 oz popcorn and 12 oz drink. It is your chance to see the effect of 3-D for no charge. Also at the Capitol Theatre on Thursday, May 20, is our next Mommy Movies at noon. Check www.westkelownamovies.com for
more details. ••• Opening this week is Robin Hood, yet another retelling of one of most famous stories from English lore. However, when you have the star and director of Gladiator helping tell the story this time, it is going to be a much grittier version than any minstrel in green tights can tell. Expect a much deeper story as Robin Hood (Russell Crowe) and the Sheriff of Nottingham (Matthew Macfadyen) are more than just good and evil. A strong supporting cast is led by Cate Blanchett as Lady Marian, as well as Mark Addy, William Hurt and Max von Sydow. Also this week is Letters to Juliet, a romantic drama starring Mamma Mia’s Amanda Seyfried. She plays Sophie, a
young woman who travels to Verona, Italy, the setting of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. There she finds one of thousands of unanswered letters to Juliet left at the fictional lover’s Verona courtyard. She in-
spires its author (Vanessa Redgrave) to search for her long-lost love which sets off a chain of events that will bring love into both their lives. Rick Davis manages the Capitol Theatre in Westbank.

Cynicism never too far away
A
s local MLA Norm Letnick was thrown on the political hot seat by the NDP this week to explain his usage of Winter Olympic event tickets, this latest version of political nitpicking raises the question again of why anyone would want to serve in political office. Yes, there are the higher purpose values that most politicians start out with—to make a difference in their community, their province or their country. But the scrutiny politicians
fall under today, is it really worth the sacrifice to your personal life, and that of your family and friends, to see your name dragged through the mud for the sake of scoring political points? There is the argument that what Letnick was confronted by this week it is just part of the checks and balances, necessary because too many people get into politics for ulterior motives, that it might be stepping stone to bigger business or investment riches.
The current glaring example of that jaded philosophy is in the U.S., where failed Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin subsequently resigned as governor of Alaska in order to become a multi-millionaire. Politics gave her a national platform to introduce herself to the American people outside of her state, and she has turned that opportunity into a gold mine. So is it any wonder that the trust factor voters have for politicians is probably as low as it
has ever been. That has been reflected in the Harmonized Sales Tax petition campaign, a rare opportunity for voters to vent their outrage in between elections. And from the viewpoint of the Liberals, the damage is already done whether the petition proves successful or not. In comparison, Letnick’s ticket woes are little more than a minor distraction that will be forgotten by next week when it’s someone else’s turn to get roasted in the media barbecue.

Both Heed’s and Oppal’s talents squandered K
ash Heed’s second cabinet resignation within a month will likely be his last, whatever the outcome of charges against his campaign officials. As this mess is sorted out by a new special prosecutor, here are a few things that may have been lost in the shouting during last week’s resignation meltdown. Heed didn’t choose where to run. Nor did he select the campaign manager and financial agent now charged under the Election Act and Criminal Code for distributing anonymous brochures attacking the NDP. Heed’s nomination in the ethnic battleground of Vancouver-Fraserview was as orchestrated as any in the
history of the ruling B.C. Liberal party. A square-jawed top cop out of Hollywood casting, Heed was personally recruited by Premier Gordon Campbell to be the face of a crackdown on the drug gangs that were regularly exchanging bullets from Vancouver to Prince George. He was assigned the local B.C. Liberal election machine vacated by previous star candidate Wally Oppal, who went home to South Delta and lost by a few votes. Thus Heed, who lives in Richmond, became the party’s
second consecutive parachute candidate for Vancouver-Fraserview last spring. According to RCMP investigators, Heed’s narrow victory Tom in Fraserview featured Fletcher three separate pamphlets that failed to disclose election sponsors. These crude brochures, with clip-and-paste pictures of gangsters, suggested in English and Chinese that the NDP favoured legalizing drugs. NDP candidate Gabriel Yiu would understand as well as anyone the hostility this suggestion pro-

vokes in the Chinese community. So would Heed, who rose through Vancouver Police Department ranks from constable to detective to inspector responsible for southeast Vancouver, where he established a gang violence task force. In a 30-year career, he headed the VPD drug squad and an Indo-Canadian gang task force, and also completed a BA and master’s degree in criminology at Simon Fraser University. Heed’s 2005 master’s thesis makes interesting reading. Among his thesis supervisors were SFU professor Neil Boyd and now-Senator Larry Campbell, both known as outspoken
critics of the futile “war on drugs” approach. Using VPD arrest files, Heed’s analysis debunks a couple of myths propagated by the media. One is that Vancouver’s drug problem is largely a result of immigrants. In fact the dealers were overwhelmingly Canadianborn. Another is that dealers are rich. He found most are poor, users themselves who rack up arrests for property crime as well as drug dealing. This is the spiral that creates a hard core of chronic offenders. Heed examined the various theories for dealing with the violent street See FletcherA29

LETTERS
Children need care, ‘funding be damned’ To the editor: Are there angels in our midst? Please allow me to tell you about William, a three-year-old toddler living in southern BC. William had a severe dental condition which went beyond everyday dental work. Williams’s mom is First Nations and is a hardworking. full-time student with minimal living allowance. Williams’s father is Caucasian and has abandoned his family responsibilities. The prescribed dental work needed to be attended to by a specialist, at a huge expense. However, William is caught up in the government bureaucracy as a non-status First Nations child without any possibility of receiving the dental care required. Williams’s condition worsened daily, and weeks passed with only antibiotics easing the condition somewhat. All the
while, mom and various relations learned that they could expect no help from government agencies; even the Band involved wrote a letter to advise their hands were tied, citing the antiquated and restrictive Indian Act. Fortunately, William’s paternal grandma and his mom contacted Kim in their local MLA’s office; though immediate attention was not forthcoming, again mainly because of the legalities of non-status citizens. I contacted Ami Catriona, of the Kelowna Gospel Mission. One of the numerous programs they offer is dental work. Ami contacted Shirley Goebel who is responsible for the dental program at the mission. Shirley felt that the situation warranted putting William’s name forward to the Save a Smile program administered by Inter-
ior Health. Shawna Gibb of IH in Kelowna readily agreed and referred William to her counterpart at IH in Kamloops. Laura Leadbetter-Fuoco obtained the file records and discovered the case to be at a near life-threatening level. Meanwhile, Kim from the MLA’s office was also working to locate a surgeon. At this point in time everyone involved were operating (finally) on having the teeth fixed as a top priority “funding be damned.” At the end of the day every child must be treated equally and this condition should never have been allowed to reach this stage. Other players early on had the opportunity to prescribe and provide the immediate care that William or any child should receive. This matter needs to be pursued to the utmost degree and it is with ut-
most respect that this MLA’s office move on now to phase two; and MLAs from all ridings be urged to do everything within their power to ensure no other children and families suffer in this way. My writing is well intentioned, though late (for a variety of reasons)—this occurred near the end of March. William was sent to hospital in Kamloops and four extractions later he immediately responded and by all reports has returned to life as a normal three-year-old, pain and swelling free, playing and behaving as though those few awful weeks never happened. The entire family is obviously very relieved. No doubt, in the end this is a good news story, yet without the immediacy and priority care and attention of the ladies mentioned above, make that the Angels, mentioned,
there could likely have been a very sad result. This letter is written specifically relating to non-status First Nation children, nevertheless this likely applies to thousands of children of all races across the country So, my take-away from all this is every constituent needs to deluge their government representatives—municipal, provincial and federal— pushing for all barriers/ inequities to be removed for the sake of all children. They are the future, after all. Please join me in showing these angels in our midst the gratitude they all more than deserve. They will assuredly tell you that they were “just doing their jobs,” if only all of us could say the same and produce these kind of results. Dennis Palmer, Kelowna

Water must be preserved in desert-dry climate To the editor: I’m writing in response to the letter: Water Shortage Stories A Ruse To Scare Us” written by Ted Bajer, May 7 Capital News. I agree, we do have lots of water in the valley. However it is replenished at a very slow rate due to our low annual precipitation of just 11 inches. In summer, much is lost due to evaporation, and that moisture mostly falls as rain in the Kootenays, not here. There is manual control of our lake levels but if we use more water than is naturally replenished our lake levels will drop until the lakes are empty. With water demands from a rapidly-increasing population and the increasing frequency of dry hot summers, we need to err on the side of caution in our water use. Water meter data indicates there is a huge increase in domestic water use during the gardening season. In 2009 the average single family use was 217 litres/day/person in winter and in summer, 670 ldp. The simplest way to conserve water is to reduce landscape irrigation. The most sustainable and successful way to garden is to create landscapes that use very little water so that when water restrictions
come, you and your landscape are prepared. Go to www.okanaganxeriscape.org for lots of helpful information and a searchable plant database of over 300 low water plants. You probably already have some of them—and will learn how little water they actually need to thrive. For the past 10 years I have been teaching ways to garden using less water in the Central Okanagan. This method is called xeriscaping and consists of seven sensible principles to guide you to garden with the environment you live in rather than fighting Mother Nature. You will have the added bonus of reducing maintenance time and costs as well as pest and disease problems. Irrigating lawns is where the majority of domestic outdoor water is used. Watering less often for a longer period of time promotes deep roots that are more drought resistant. On clay soils, such as in Glenmore, I have been able to keep a lawn green with only seven inches of water added in a whole season. This was done in one inch applications: one inch each in May, June and September and one inch two weeks apart in both July and August. This illustrates how little water is needed on clay or water retentive soils. Growing a lawn on sand is a major waste
of water. A minimum of six inches of good topsoil is needed before planting a lawn in this situation. There are several drought resistant grass seed mixes available such as Enviro-Turf and Enviro-Lawn that look like a regular lawn but are low water/low grow/low mow. Another option is to remove lawn from areas where it is not needed for activities and replace it with drought tolerant ground covers, shrubs, ornamental grasses, etc. I would like to warn you against replacing your lawn with rocks. Just like pavement and sidewalks, rocks will absorb and reflect a tremendous amount of heat, making it hotter in adjacent buildings and homes as well as stressing any plants planted in them unless they are dry heat lovers such as sagebrush and lavender. It’s also hard to clean fallen plant debris out of rocks and to weed out of them when the inevitable weeds begin growing. Although we are in a semi desert, we can have beautiful lush gardens that use very little supplemental water. I invite you to consider this easier and more successful way to garden.

Talented politicos on ‘scrap heap’ Fletcher from A28 drug trade. Like many others, he found the “moral rejection and absolute prohibition” approach to be “a failure in country after country,” noting that it is propped up mostly by war-on-drugs politicians who get elected on its false promise of public safety. Heed rejects the “market solution” of legalizing drugs as “likely politically impossible,” although it would reverse the spiral of high costs
and profits that is the engine of gangland trade. He cautiously endorses a “decriminalization and treatment” approach where law enforcement focuses on treatment for chronic offenders, rather than the more popular moral punishment. If this approach sounds familiar, it should. It was introduced in B.C. by a distinguished former judge named Wally Oppal, who as attorney general piloted the “community court” system in Vancouver, before being
tossed on the scrap heap by voters obsessed with the parochial gripes of Delta South. Heed may now be targeted in a recall campaign, given the anger stirred up by the tainted election campaign that delivered him to Victoria. Good luck to the B.C. Liberals or any party that tries to attract talented achievers into a career in politics. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

▼ SPCA
Two campaigns aimed at protecting animals The B.C. SPCA is an animal welfare organization, which means they believe the keeping and use of animals is justified as long as their welfare is ensured. The organization works to create a more humane society by advocating on behalf of animals on many fronts. The efforts involve pressing for evidencebased changes to local, provincial and national laws, increasing public awareness on animal issues, and promoting individual actions that lead to improved animal welfare. One of the SPCA’s current campaigns in B.C. is learning the truth about foie gras. Foie gras is the fatty liver of geese and ducks which have been forcefed several times a day by having a metal tube insert-
birds as it overcomes their gag reflex and can cause painful injuries to the throat. By the end of the force-feeding phase, each bird’s liver will be six to 10 times the size of a normal duck liver. “The production of foie gras is not only inhumane to the geese and ducks but should be looked at from a health perspective by those that eat this product,” said Alexis Adrienne, an animal advocacy volunteer. “The livers of these animals are severely diseased and fatty.” Production has become so automated that 400 ducks can be forcibly fed in one hour. During the forcefeeding phase, mortality rates are three to 10 times as high as a flock of non-force fed ducks of

This intrusive, stressful and painful experience begins at 12 weeks of age and lasts two to three weeks until the animals are slaughtered. Each year, more than 20 million ducks and geese are raised worldwide in this manner for the
production of foie gras. The birds are kept in barren pens or cages that restrict their freedom of movement, which causes painful injuries to their feet, and prevents them from enjoying any natural behaviours. The insertion of the feeding pipe stresses the
the same age. These high rates are due to the injuries to the throat, liver failure and heat stress. To help stop this inhumane practice, the SPCA asks for you to stop ordering foie gras, start asking chefs to take it off their menu and tell your friends and family. A second campaign the B.C. SPCA is continually working on is pet safety in vehicles. Have you seen a dog in the back of a pickup truck? The SPCA has and wants you to know the facts. Every year countless animals are killed or injured in B.C. because they are not properly restrained while traveling in vehicles. “The problem is particularly dangerous when guardians let their dogs ride unrestrained in the

The SPCA urges you to keep your pet inside the vehicle and use a crate or dog seat belt to restrain your pet. If you must transport your pet in the back of a truck, use a secured crate in the centre of the truck box or tether the dog with a secure, short harness to ensure safety from strangulation and death. May is Be Kind to Animals month. Join the Kelowna SPCA animal shelter on Sunday for the facility’s annual open house and learn more about current advocacy campaigns.

▼ OKANAGAN INSTITUTE
Experts to explain sustainable transportation theory and practice What moves us in the Okanagan? Transportation. It’s that system of roads, rail, waterways and airways that forms an ever-expanding matrix over our region, conveying people and goods into, out of, and throughout the valley. Like the circulatory system of the body it mimics, our transportation system carries the lifeblood of our communities. We need it to be effective, efficient and unhindered. And we need it to be healthy. On Thursday, May 20, at 5 p.m, the ongoing weekly Okanagan Institute Express series at the Bohemian Cafe in Kelrowna will present a What Moves Us? Rethinking Transportation. t UBC Okanagan professor and transportation engineer Gordon Lovekgrove will illustrate how creative thinking is the first step in forging a future of sustainable communities. Lovegrove has more than 20 years of experience as a transportation
engineer and consultant on projects that emphasize the sustainability of lifestyles and communities. Some of Lovegrove’s projects include UBC Vancouver’s award winning Universal Transportation Pass (U-Pass) pro-
gram that is saving 40,000 university students over $4 million per month and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by over 15,000 tonnes per year; UBC Vancouver’s TREK Program Centre dedicated to promoting sustainable transportation and devel-
opment on campus; the City of Vancouver’s citywide bicycle path, the Seaside Bicycle Route, connecting Stanley Park to UBC and the Township of Langley’s award winning Shared-Use (equestrian, bicycle, pedestrian) Trails program to reduce
auto reliance. Lovegrove’s current research includes quantifying the benefits of increased bicycling in our communities. He is also involved in the establishment of Canada’s first research lab on Sustainable Road Safety
at UBC Okanagan. Lovegrove’s presentation will include examples of sustainability performance measures from communities throughout the world, and discussion of how lessons from these examples might be applied to the Okanagan
Valley. Creative thinking is the first step in forging a future of sustainable communities. Come prepared to be challenged at this upcoming Okanagan Institute forum, to challenge—and to leave smaller footprints.

MOTORING ▼ CONVERTIBLE ROUNDUP 2010
There are plenty of ways to go topless in 2010 This is the first of a two-part series on convertibles for 2010-11, today covering Audi to Ford. The second half, from Infiniti to Volvo, will appear in next Friday’s Capital News motoring.

FROM EXOTIC to almost practical, convertibles now cover the range. BMW has a number of models, one being this BMW M6 2010

Where I sit, snow is falling as I write this feature over the recent Mother’s Day weekend. It’s hard to get excited about open-air motoring as the wet flakes accumulate on the roads and rooftops just north of Toronto. Still, despite our oftenlousy weather, convertibles are a hot commodity in this country. It didn’t take long to look up more than three dozen models from no less than 16 manufacturers—and that doesn’t include the exot-
ics. Some, like Chrysler, offer only one model. Others, like BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, offer plenty. We’ve lost a few recently, like the convertible PT Cruiser, which is a prime example of cars that should never go topless. With the top down, the PT looked like a bathtub on wheels; with the top up, even homelier. We’ve also lost the stylish Toyota Solara convertible, which was a sportier, sleeker variant of the Camry. Too bad, as a more potent engine and some suspension tuning could have made it work. And we’ve gained others as well, like the Lexus IS C, MINI convertible and BMW 1 Series Cabriolet. Not long ago, convertibles were impractical. The roofs eventually leaked, and even new, they offered little protection from the cold and from the din of traffic. Without a roof, car bodies had too much flex, so See Convertible B2

they had to be strengthened, adding weight and cutting performance. And then there’s the issue of trunk space. Many of today’s drop tops have licked these problems with lighter, stiffer bodies, tightly sealed, insulated roofs (with proper rear windshields), and many now have retractable hard tops, for comfortable four-season motoring. Trunk space is still an issue, but the top has to go somewhere. Clever engineering can partly overcome this—just compare the similarly sized Mazda MX-5 Miata and the discontinued Pontiac Solstice. With the top down, you can get a couple of small golf bags in the former, but not much more than lunch bags in the latter. If you need a bigger trunk, go for a four-seater. Some people think the ideal top-down weather is around 30 degrees Celsius, with the sun blazing overhead. I beg to differ. Not blessed with a thick head of hear, I’m stuck wearing a ball cap (which looks lame with a shirt and tie), and sunscreen can be a bother every time you go
for a ride. I prefer the evening, after the sun dips below the horizon. There are no scorching rays, no sweatstained shirt, and the warm breeze feels good against your skin. Cruising late at night,

on quiet roadways, is even better. You are no longer separated from your surroundings by glass and steel, and feel a kind of oneness with the environment. Rolling along empty downtown streets, with their many storefronts and
tall buildings can be an almost surreal experience.

Starting at $68,300, the S5 will launch from rest to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds. The pug-nosed, inyour-face Audi TT has been a hit with car buyers since it launched more than a decade ago. Now in its second generation, it holds true to its iconic style, and as a roadster it offers loads of top-down fun for two passengers in its comfortable, ergonomically-designed cockpit. The TT Roadster is available only with a turbocharged four cylinder that puts out a respectable 200 hp and 207 lb/ft of torque, which moves its lightweight 1430 kg body from zero to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds. And like the A5 Cabriolet, if you want more power, there’s an ëS’ variant: the TTS Roadster. This red-hot convertible has been engineered for higher performance and is powered by a higher output 2.0-litre four that delivers 265 hp and 258 lb/ft of torque through a six-speed gearbox. Going from zero to 100 km/h will take you only 5.2 seconds. The powered soft top is also pretty quick, lowering in about 12 seconds. Pricing starts at $52,350 for the TT Roadster and $61,900 for the TTS Roadster.
BMW
When it launched in 2008, the BMW 1 Series offered a smaller, lighter alternative to the sporty 3 Series vehicles. Available in coupe and cabriolet models, the 1 Series offers the same power, with even quicker performance. As the 128i Cabriolet, it is powered by a 3.0-litre inline six that delivers 230 hp and 200 lb/ft of torque. The 135i Cabriolet gets a new 3.0-litre inline six with twin-scroll turbocharger, pumping out a whopping 300 hp and 300 lb/ft that launches this rear-driver from zero to 100 km/h in just 5.7 seconds. Pricing starts at $41,200 for the 2011 BMW 128i and $48,500 for the 135i. Both include an electronic soft top that opens and closes in 22 seconds at speeds of up to 40 km/h. The BMW 3 Series Cabriolet gets some style updates for 2011, and like the 1 Series, gets a new twin-scroll 3.0-litre engine (for 335i models).
The 328i and 335i are powered like their 1 Series siblings, but are larger and offer more rear seat passenger room. The 328i starts at $57,300 and the 335i starts at $68,900. Both come with a retractable hardtop that disappears in just 23 seconds, making it a practical four-season vehicle. The 3 Series can also be had as the potent M3 Cabriolet. With a 32-valve, 4.0-litre V8 under the hood, delivering 414 hp and 295 lb/ft of torque, this road rocket will go from zero to 100 km/h in just a hair over five seconds. MSRP starts at $81,900. The BMW 650i Cabriolet is stunning with the top up or down. A 32-valve DOHC 4.8-litre V8 engine that delivers 360 hp and 360 lb/ft of torque powers this luxury rear-driver. Its fully-automatic roof is well insulated both thermally and acoustically, and has a drop-down rear window for better ventilation when the roof is closed. MSRP for this 2+2 seater is $105,500. As with the 3 Series, the 6 Series Cabriolet has an M variant. The M6 is engineered throughout for high performance driving, with a 5.0-litre, 500 hp V10 able to take it from rest to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds. You can lower the top in about 10 seconds and enjoy the sound of this powerplant. Such fun does not come cheaply: MSRP for the M6 Cabriolet is $131,300. The low-slung Z4 Roadster is available in three models: sDrive30i, sDrive35i and sDrive35is. Each is powered by a 3.0-litre inline six, some with twin turbochargers, generating anywhere from 255 to 335 hp. The Z4 entered 2009 with its first retractable hardtop that gives it a coupe-like silhouette. This two-piece lightweight aluminum roof fully opens and closes within 20 seconds. For 2011, prices range from $54,300 for the sDrive30i to $77,900 for the sDrive35is.

Chrysler Sebring convertible is getting better with age Convertible from B4 nology to become one of today’s best sports cars. Regardless of the model year, a Corvette is immediately recognizable by its long, low-slung protfile, wide track and deep bass rumble of the big V8 under the hood. If you’re looking for a drop-top version, the 2010 Corvette Convertible starts at $76,955 and includes the venerable 6.2-litre LS3 small-block V8 that generates 430 hp
and 424 lb/ft of torque. A standard six-speed manual transmission and optional six-speed automatic with paddle-shifters are available. The Grand Sport Convertible starts at $83,655 and also includes the LS3-based powertrain with wide-body styling, a wider track and a racingbred suspension. It brings superior handling, four-second 0-60 mph performance, skid pad adhesion of 1 g and an estimated 8.1
L/100 km on the highway. The convertible’s standard manual top features a single-handled double latch, or you can get an available power top goes down in just 18 seconds. And with the top down, there’s still enough room in the trunk for two full-sized golf bags.
CHRYSLER
The Sebring Convertible has been around a long time, but is getting better with age. Not only are con-
tent levels improving, but the current generation Sebring Convertible is better built than its predecessor: 2.5 times stiffer in twist and 1.5 times stiffer in bending. Models are priced from $30,665 for the LX to $44,070 for the limited. Engine choices include a fuel-efficient 2.4-litre four cylinder (173 hp, 166 lb/ft of torque) and a 3.5-litre V6 (235 hp, 232 lb/ft of torque). Sebring Convertibles can be had with either a

Added safety features for the Mustang include standard 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS and brake assist, traction control and stability control. The V6-powered Mustang Convertible starts at $31,399 and the V8-powered GT starts at $42,899. A cloth top (as opposed to vinyl) is a $300 option for both the V6 and the GT convertibles.

the current generation is arguably the best in terms of paying tribute to the original. For 2011, power is up significantly, with the choice of two engines: a 3.7-litre, 24-valve V6 that delivers 305 hp and 280 lb/ft of torque; and a 5.0-litre V8 that pumps out a whopping 412 hp and 390 lb/ft, with better fuel economy than its predecessor.

CONTRIBUTOR
When you have to take four people and their luggage to the airport you get a real appreciation for just how versatile a minivan really is. A few weeks ago I offered to take friends to the airport in Toronto for their two-week overseas adventure to Holland and France. Thinking ahead, I booked a Chrysler Town & Country minivan for that week, realizing that even a full-size sedan might be too small for the job, considering the luggage that would have to be transported. It was the right call. Minivans have been losing their popularity the last few years with crossovers (SUVs based on car platforms) eating into their sales. But when it comes right down to it, when you have to carry a lot of people and their belongings, there’s nothing like a minivan. That’s why millions of families in North America over the past quarter century have had a minivan in their driveways. For trips to the supermarket, the building supply store or taking the kids and their friends to hockey or other sporting events, the minivan can’t be beaten. Chrysler was the first to bring out a minivan in 1983 with the Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyageur. A more upscale Chrysler Town & Country was added to the mix in 1987. The Voyageur is long gone, but the Grand Caravan lives on as the more basic of the two Chryslerbuilt minivans and still enjoys robust sales. The Town & Country continues as the higher-end product and combined, the pair accounted for Canadian sales of 6,467 units (Grand Caravan 5,917, Town & Country 550) during the month of April. That was more than a 30 per cent of the 20,613 cars and trucks sold by Chrysler Canada for the month with the Grand Caravan occupying the Number 2 slot overall on the Canadian vehicle sales
chart. Other manufacturers are abandoning the minivan market altogether and that has been good news for Chrysler as eight out of 10 minivans sold in the country during March were either the Grand Caravan or Town & Country. Both are built at the Windsor (Ont.) assembly plant that is working three shifts to keep up with demand. For 2010, the Town & Country is available in two trim levels- Touring and Limited. Touring is priced at $37,845, while the Limited is $43,845. It has only minor changes from 2009 after a complete redesign in 2008. The design is now boxier with a squared-off front end and an angular look that is much different than the more rounded designs earlier in the decade. My tester priced out at $49,820 including a destination charge of $1,400. Among the options was a trailer towing package ($700), blind spot and cross path detection systems ($400), power folding third row seats ($625), entertainment package with second and third-row video screens with wireless headphones ($1,575) and a media centre with a GPS navigation system, 30 GB hard drive and iPod control ($1,250). The Town & Country is powered by a 251 hp, 4.0-litre SOHC V6 engine, mated with a sixspeed automatic transmission. It comes with a Transport Canada fuel economy rating of rating 12.2L/100 km (23 mpg) city and 7.9L/100 km (36 mpg) highway, however my observed levels were well off the posted rates. For a vehicle nearing the $50k range, the Town & Country has a lot of plastic material inside. In spite of this, its interior is attractive with a bit of wood grain trim on the dash to add an upscale touch. There is lots of room inside with four captains’ chairs in the first two rows and 60/40 split third row seat that is actually usable. On our trip to the airSee T&C B7

THE CHRYSLER Town & Country is the upscale sibling of the Dodge Grand Caravan and both are built at the Windsor (Ont.) assembly plant. Chrysler started building minivans in 1983 and the Town & Country has been around since 1987.
Seats fold at touch of a button
t
T&C from B6 port, one of the passengers was relegated to the rear of the coach in the third row and she said she was very comfortable. With the touch of a button on the side panel, one or both rof the third-row seats will rfold into the floor if you go for the power folding third row seat option. In anticipation of the trip to fthe airport, I folded part rof the seat down and it tleft oodles of room for the four suitcases and assorted carry-on bags. t In fact, I probably could have fit in four more bags with the amount of room still available. In fact, with the two rear rows of seats folded flat
there is 3,981 litres (140.1 cu ft) of cargo space. Standard on the Limited model is the Stowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;n Go feature (the second row seats fold flat into the floor producing a totally flat cargo area), while the Swivel â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;n Go is an option for $625. With this, you simply swivel the second-row seats around and snap in a folding table- ideal when you want to have a bite to eat on the road or sit and rest with a quick game of cards. The front leather seats are comfortable and great for touring, but lack a bit in side bolstering. Ride quality in the Town & Country is very good, tending toward the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;floatyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; end of
the spectrum, while the 4.0-litre engine is torquey enough for passing and moving into high-speed traffic- all you really need in a minivan. Steering is responsive but at 2,095 kg (4,621 lb) this is not a vehicle that corners or handles like a sports car or even a crossover for that matter. While I would like to see a bit better fit and finish and less plastic on the inside, the Town & Country has the versatility and the luxury and convenience features that make a minivan the ideal family vehicle. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to understand why minivan sales have dropped off so dramatically when you con-
sider what they can offer. Times and tastes are changing, I guess, but Chrysler was first on the market with the minivan and the Town & Country shows they still know how to build them.

What you should know about anti-lock braking systems KATE WELLS
f
Now standard in most new vehicles sold in Canada, anti-lock braking systems â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or ABS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was developed in the mid-1980s to reduce skidding when the driver is faced with an emergency braking situation. The beneďŹ t of having ABS is that it allows the driver to steer at the same time as they are braking. While ABS can be a life-saver, studies suggest that most drivers do not know how to use ABS properly, therefore putting them at a 65-per-cent-higher chance of being in a fatal crash than if they were in a car with a regular braking system. DriveWise Driving School teaches students how to brake with a non-ABS braking system and an ABS

braking system both in the car and on their driving simulators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students usually ask what that strange sound is when we teach ABS braking. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when we teach them that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their Anti-lock Braking System and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfectly normal. This is very important for students because the instinct when they hear this sound is to stop braking, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the absolutely wrong thing to do,â&#x20AC;? says Arthur Harris, owner of DriveWise BC. Although students are taught properly, the majority of parents and even the general public do not have this knowledge at all. To use the ABS properly: â&#x20AC;˘ When facing an emergency braking situation in a vehicle equipped with ABS, ďŹ rst apply the brakes
hard and stay on them. If you hear the loud sound or feel the â&#x20AC;&#x153;chatterâ&#x20AC;? thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ABS doing its job! â&#x20AC;˘ Do not pump the brakes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this is the method for non-ABS braking. â&#x20AC;˘ ABS brakes will not help drivers stop quicker, but will allow them to keep steering during braking so they can get around the obstacle. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t become over-conďŹ dent because the vehicle has ABS. ABS needs to be used correctly to keep drivers and their passengers safe. DriveWise recommends that drivers take their car to a quiet location and test the brakes. Additionally, they can also enrol in a one-time seminar to learn how to brake using the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speciďŹ c braking system properly.

In the back seat, I followed instructions and tried to concentrate on the sounds, sensations and vibrations as the car rolled over the rumble strips. Badoom, ba-da-doom, badoom. Once my eyes were open again, the test driver pointed out accelerometer readings that reflected head and shoulder movement, even the transmission of bumps and thumps through the floor boards and seat cushion. This was seat-of-thepants engineering and I

wasn’t sure I was cut out for it. But after a few passes, my senses seemed to sharpen enough so as to discriminate some of the subtler variations. “Did you feel the difference?” These Goodyear guys were excited about their product and they’d spent the better part of a day demonstrating its abilities through the driving exercises they put us through. During our test sessions, we hugged the coastline and curves of the Pacific Coast Highway in BMW 3-Series and Lexus ES-Series cars. We careened Camrys across pyloned parking lots, squealing and sliding over a variety of dry and wet autocross courses. And every exercise was focused on the qualities of the new ComforTred Touring tire. About four years ago, Goodyear debuted the original ComforTred tire. This was a tire specifically designed for low noise and a smooth ride. It added a nylon cushion belt overtop the usual radial steel belts and underneath the tread. This is sort of the automotive equivalent of slipping a gel sole into your shoe and, according to Goodyear, it creates about a 20 per cent improvement in measured cushioning compared to a regular tire. Customers were convinced, and the company pushed about 9 million units through the door. “But we noticed a shift in the marketplace within the last few years,” said Gary Medalis, general manager of Goodyear Passenger Tires. “There’s a growing segment of luxury and mid scale vehicles that are owned by discriminating drivers who appreciate refined handling, along with their smooth, comfortable ride.” You can think of this as sort of a shift from Cadillac and Crown Vic to Accord and Lexus. But this “touring class,” comprised of everything from import sport sedans to more capable crossovers and family movers, has increased steadily over the past few years. Touring tires made up more than 25 per cent of See Tires B10

This caused Goodyear to rethink the ComforTred and introduce an all-new ComforTred Touring tire. To push the performance envelope, they’ve taken that same Comfort Layer approach and applied it to the sidewall of the tire. This new ComfortEdge sidewall insert adds a stiffer Inner Handling Layer covered by an Outer Comfort Layer similar to the cushion under the tread, for a best-ofboth-worlds solution— better handling with the same, maintained comfort component. Of course, anytime you mess with one ingredient of a complicated recipe, you have to adjust other elements as well. “That’s why we took a clean sheet approach to the new ComforTred Touring,” lead engineer Keith Grabo told me. “Finding the right balance is a true science. We had to consider the importance of low tire noise, while continuing to emphasize the product’s stopping ability and maneuvering on rain-slick roads.” Some of the other
changes to the ComforTred Touring tire include a new asymmetric tread for low noise and refined handling along with slightly wider circumferential grooves to help evacuate water from beneath the tread and enhance wet traction. “We’ve even managed to reduce the tire’s rolling resistance,” Grabo added. The ComforTred Touring’s low noise and higher speed ratings come with a no-compromise improvement to tread life, enough to spur Goodyear to offer a 80,000 mile/130,000 km tread life limited warranty on T- and H-speed rated tires along with a 70,000 mile/110,000 km tread life limited warranty on the more performanceoriented V-speed rated sizes. And those 34 sizes, they assure me, now rolling off the production line, will cover more than 90 percent of potential mid scale to luxury vehicle sizes—from 185/65R15 to 245/45R18. The new ComforTred Touring tire is geared towards a customer looking for the right combination of quiet ride and capable handling, a customer who can discern the differences when it comes to the qualities and all-season abilities of a premium product. “Close your eyes and we’ll see if you notice it more this time.” Oh, man, I thought, here we go again.

SMITH, ELSIE Loving wife, mother and grandmother passed away peacefully on May 10, 2010, leaving the bonds of her earthly body, to be with her Lord and Saviour whom she loved and faithfully served.
