IT’S NOT SURPRISING that the 2011 Audi R8 V10 Spyder is a finalist for the Canadian Automotive Jury’s Best of the Best Award—for the Spyder is as impressive in looks as it is in performance.

BreakOut venue loses liquor license

Lesson in the art of giving art

Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna’s all ages hot-spot will offer a sober take on what’s been billed as the musical event of the year. Habitat, a music venue on Leon Avenue, lost its liquor license for 25 days as a follow-up to an infraction noticed by inspectors nearly a year ago. And despite a late summer hearing to toss out the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch’s decision, the beer taps will indeed run dry when the venue hosts some of the BreakOut West events that surround the Western Canadian Music Awards. “To be honest at this point in time, the suspension is related to the service of liquor and at the festival we were hoping to host inter-generational events, so it couldn’t happen at a better time,” said Habitat owner Quinn Best, who later added he didn’t agree with the liquor board’s decision but he’d adhere to it. “Not having a license isn’t going to stop us from participating in the weekend and in some events we’ll be bringing in minors so serving liquor isn’t really appropriate.” The suspension lasts from Oct. 16 to Dec. 12, and is directly related to the fact that The Habitat contravened the terms of its existing food-primary license. The Liquor Control and Licensing branch issued Habitat’s food-primary liquor license, based on the agreement they can serve booze beverages, but a “full range of appetizers and main courses” must be offered in tandem. When inspectors stopped into Habitat last spring, that was far from the case. “The evidence of the liquor inspectors is that at the time of the inspection the establishment was open for business; alcoholic beverages (liquor) were being served and consumed by patrons in the establishment,” read the report from the Liquor Control Board. “With the exception of one order of flat bread and dip there was no evidence of food having been/being served.” Worse yet for the business, is that sales receipts reSee Venue A14

There is an art to giving art and Sarah Parsons wants to show Kelowna some of the finer nuances of the trade. Over the course of the next two weekends she and her band of merry culture mongers will first exhibit, then distribute several hundred donated pieces of art—totally free of charge—in an event called Papergirl. “Basically the Papergirl philosophy is that people may not be able to afford to go to galleries or have access to art, so it’s meant to make art more accessible to people,” said Parsons. Papergirl began five years ago in Berlin and has since been surprising ordinary citizens from South Africa to Brazil to Milan by giving people a chance to enjoy and own a piece of artwork. “The basic idea with the project is to bring art to the public in a differ-

undisclosed location on their bicycles on Saturday, Oct. 23, to give away art completely free in an event called Papergirl Kelowna.

▼ WESTJET WINE TASTING

Parkade setting illustrates need for convention centre Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

For lack of a convention centre in Kelowna, this year’s two-evening WestJet Wine Tastings had to be held in the parkade of the Delta Grand Okanagan instead of the ballroom. Organizers of the Fall Okanagan Wine Festival knew this spring that there was a convention booked at the hotel during the two nights the annual tasting event was to be held, but it wasn’t until July they knew this was going to be a much larger convention than expected. High registration meant they would need the ballrooms for the convention—a hotel’s most lucrative business—and the wine tastings would have to be accommodated elsewhere. One of the festival’s organizers, Blair Baldwin, said they put their heads together with staff at the Grand, with Avalon Event Rentals and S/W Audio

to come up with a suitable alternative. Both evenings sold out weeks before the event, and this year there was the largest-ever number of wineries offering tastings, meaning there would be 750 paying patrons each night, along with the 130 staff from 63 wineries, and an additional 120 or so in sponsors and service staff. Nearly 1,000 people had to be accommodated. And, it had to be pretty, even if a bit funky. They looked at holding it above the ballroom and in the pool area of the hotel but it was too small

a space and there’s no service corridor in such an open area. Ideally, guests should just see food appear to replenish serving platters, explained Baldwin. Then, they considered the new casino space being built at the hotel, but there wouldn’t be an occupancy permit in time. Finally, they looked at the new over-height parkade built to service it. “Everyone approached the problem with a ‘can-do’ attitude,” said Baldwin. So, as this year’s 30th annual fall winefest got rolling, so did paint get

rolled out to cover the cement walls of the parkade, at the Delta’s expense. Plush new carpet— 9,000 square feet of it—was rolled out over the parkade floor; portable, luxury toilets were brought in, complete with hot and cold running water and flowers; projectors were used to simulate mock chandeliers on the ceiling of the space, and lighting fixtures went up along the walls, with WestJet logos projected there as well. Truss walls went up along the sides and draperies were used to simulate walls. Huge heat-

ers stood at the ready in case temperatures outside dropped, because the parkade’s sides were open-air. There was live music both inside and out. “We transformed that space,” he said. “I’m very satisfied with how it all worked together,” he added. New drinking laws meant more people took advantage of the safe ride home offered free to patrons, and it took an hour to get enough taxis to take everyone home. But, people said they’d had fun. One commented she didn’t realize there was

a ballroom on this side of the Grand as well, recalled Baldwin, with a grin. But, it was a bit tight for the number of people, and there was more demand for the event than the society could satisfy. People were turned away because there’s just no facility of an adequate size in Kelowna. “The fact is, we need a convention centre in Kelowna. We’ve grown astronomically as a community and we’re a transportation hub,” Baldwin said. “We have lots of hotel rooms and we’re a prime

destination for wine tourists.” The wine festival society has increased the number of smaller events it organizes, but even firsttime events sold out this year, held at the beginning of the week instead of a weekend night. “So, people are looking for things to do,” he said. The Grand Finale has always been held in Penticton’s convention centre, where about 1,000 people were accommodated both nights at the conclusion of the festival, but there are real challenges in Kelowna for similar space. With the extra events the society organized this year, and the scramble to make alternate accommodation work, it was a pretty hectic 10 days for the threesome, which includes Allen Tozer and Christine Ferreira. “This was the most intensive fall winefest we’ve ever done,” commented Baldwin. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Two men wanted for drug smuggling caper arrested in California Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Arrests are piling up in connection to the cocaineladen fruit grinding machine bound for Kelowna. Earlier this week police announced they arrested West Kelowna’s Barry Michael Ready, 50

and Clifford Roger Montgomery, 33, for their perceived part in smuggling more than $4 million of cocaine to the Okanagan, from Argentina. Thursday, the number of arrests was bolstered by two when Victor Perez Rodriguez, a 43-yearold Mexican, and Tar-

iq Mohammed Aslam, a 32-year-old from Surrey, were nabbed in San Clemente, Cal. It’s believed they were en route to Mexico, said Const. Michael McLaughlin, media relations officer federal programs, E Division. Rodriguez and Aslam

had warrants for their arrest issued in Canada on Oct. 4, after a multi-million dollar cocaine shipment was intercepted. Extradition proceedings are underway to get Rodriguez and Aslam returned to Canada to face two counts of Conspiracy to Import Cocaine and

one count of Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking. Their West Kelowna counterparts face the same charges. The investigation into all four men began Sept. 22, when inspectors at Vancouver Air Cargo Operations flagged the 2,300-kilo fruit grinding

machine as suspicious. “The shipping costs must have been astronomical,” said Const. McLaughlin, of what prompted border guards to take a closer look. “My understanding, from talking to them, is when you are importing a machine to crush fruit, by air from Argen-

tina, when it weights 2,300 kilos…why wouldn’t you just build it there? There was a bunch of things on the manifest that didn’t add up.” With that in mind, border officials used a fibreSee Caught A5

Be properly prepared for snowy winter activities N ot only are days much shorter than they were scant weeks ago, but there’s a definite nip in the air, particularly in the mornings and evenings. That little nip is what gets us poking through the basement storage room or garage for last winter’s recreational gear, and it’s none too soon to be getting it ready to go. While this is a glorious time of year for fishing, hiking and hunting, late fall and winter provide their own spectacular beauty for those who love the outdoors. Sledding, skiing and snow boarding are not the only activities that require snow for you to have fun outdoors. Snow shoes are easy to use for anyone who

TRAIL MIX

Judie Steeves walks or hikes. Generally our winters are fairly mild in the valley bottom, although it can get colder up higher, but in both places the Okanagan snow is dry and light, not heavy and wet, so it’s fun to be out in. There are lots of good facilities for downhill and cross country skiers; for snow boarders and for those who enjoy jetting around on machines such as snowmobiles. There are also many kilometres of trails for those who like to walk

on top of the snow, but snow shoes can probably be used almost anywhere there’s snow. Last year, the lakes in the valley bottom didn’t freeze over so ice fishing was not an option, but lakes at higher elevations offered good ice fishing. Linda Jones-Evans, of Outdoor Adventure Gear on Harvey Avenue, will host a free Winter Fun for Everyone evening, from 7 to 8:30 p.m., Monday, Oct. 18, at her shop. By dressing comfortably and carrying a packsack with any extras you may need, you can get outside and enjoy winter in a variety of ways, she says. She’s an experienced winter tour guide and says people of all ages can walk in the snow and even on frozen lakes if they have comfortable clothes

and a few helpful accessories. There’s no bad weather, only the wrong clothing, she says. You can peruse a wide selection of outdoor books, and see and try on a selection of clothing and equipment, including hiking poles, water belts, packsacks and snow shoes. As well, Deborah Greaves and other special guests will share their outdoorsy knowledge. There will be refreshments and draw prizes. Incidentally, Telemark’s annual ski swap and annual general meeting is coming up Sunday, Oct. 24, with the AGM at 11 a.m. and the ski swap at 12:30 p.m. Those with items to sell should drop them off by 10 a.m. Money for items sold

Trail led to West Kelowna Caught from A3 scope, which has a camera on the end, to look into the machine’s innards. It’s there they saw something “unusual” within the machine’s steel drums, later seizing the 97.5 kilograms of cocaine. In order to catch those associated with trafficking the extensive stash of drugs, the machine was sent on its way, with the

Mounties and border officials watching its movements. When it landed in Kelowna, the drugs were brought to an outdoor storage facility, where police say there is evidence that the fruit grinding machine was breached. That led to the initial arrest of the two West Kelowna men. It’s still early days in this case, and Const. McLaughlin said it’s quite unusual to have this much

information released to the public so early in the process. “Usually we wait until it’s long over before you hear more. You probably won’t have more information until it goes to trial,” he said. “For now it’s good news for us, we talk about our (strong) relationship with U.S. border guards, and this is an example of that.” kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

zebel is on the hot seat for the kickoff of BreakOut West. L.A.-based music supervisor Andrea von Foerester said Sczebel is definitely among her top picks when interviewed early last month and Sczebel appears to be rising to the occasion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be bringing in at least a seven-piece, but hopefully an eight or nine-piece band,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So it should be really different from anything Kelowna has ever seen me do before.â&#x20AC;? With a Juno and a Western Canadian Music Award already under his belt from his 2005 album Here to Say, Sczebel is one of those showcase performers expected to really lay it out when he comes to townâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not that he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have some stiff competition. This fall he is also a Peak Performance Project finalist and his first showcase is scheduled to run alongside all of the other Peak Performance Project finalists who will take to stages at venues through-

out the city Thursday, Oct. 21, to strut their musical stuff on the first night of BreakOut West performances. The Peak Performance Project is quickly becoming one of the biggest music competitions in the country, offering musicians in B.C. the chance to win a $100,000 jackpot and be named B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top musician, based on both talent and business acumen. The musicians have been playing Thursday evening showcases at the Red Room in Vancouver for roughly a month, with each of the 20 finalists scheduled for a 30 to 40 minute set, which had to include a Canadian cover song. By this Monday, Oct. 18 at 5 p.m., the artists must submit a budget for what they would do with the $100,000 and a final

report on their experience with the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve promoted themselves, what they learned in the week-long boot camp held on a Princeton ranchâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;for a panel of industry judges in Vancouver to consider. Kicking off the Western Canadian Music Awards festival, BreakOut West, the 20 musicians will thus be in a pretty celebratory mood come next Thursday, having just spent the last monthand-a-half in what some describe as a drop-dead competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never went to college, so homework pretty much ended for me when I was 17,â&#x20AC;? said singer/songwriter Aidan Knight, who has been on the road for a quarter of the year touring the country as a lead-up to the Peak Performance boot camp.

The suspect is described as a Caucasian male between the ages of 35 and 43 and is between 5-foot-10 and 6 feet tall, weighing between 155 and 160 lbs. He has very short messy looking blonde hair, bright, steel blue eyes that are closely set and appearing almost cross eyed. He has an oval shaped face, narrow nose and small mouth.

TODDLER FOUND

A plucky little 3 year old girl chose the right home to enlist help from in finding her way home this morning. She ended up at a residence in the 600 block of Hollydell Road when a kind-hearted woman in the home found the little girl, dressed in pink PJs and runners, on her doorstep. The woman called

police, who were able to learn her name but not where she lived. After calling the B.C. Ministry of Child and Families to assist, police did some door knocking but didn’t find the little girl’s home. After picking up the girl, ministry officials eventually found the parents in their residence in the 700 block of Hollydell. They were understandably shocked and upset to know their child had left the residence without them knowing. MCFD is currently investigating.

A wine sampling bon voyage Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Those departing from Kelowna by air appear to be eager to pick up a last-minute bottle of local wine to take on board as a gift for friends or family, or as a memento of their visit to the Okanagan. Okanagan Estate Wine Cellar, operated by Sky-

way Retail Services on the departures side of the Kelowna International Airport, also features wine tastings once or twice a month between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. The airport’s Jenelle Hynes says since the wine store was moved into the departures area, beyond the security check, business has been brisk.

Restrictions on what can be carried onto an airplane since 9/11 dampened business at the store when it was located prior to the security check. Those flying within Canada can carry-on up to two cases of six bottles of wine. Since one is about 20 pounds in weight, passengers are permitted to take

two on if they have no other carry-on luggage. Those flying to the U.S. are entitled to bring in 1.5 litres, or two bottles of wine without having to pay duty on them. Staff in the wine shop will pack the wine in easyto-carry boxes at no additional charge. Wines are sold in the shop at the same price

▼ UBC OKANAGAN

Pilot program helps new and expectant dads quit smoking UBC is about to launch a free eight-week pilot program that brings together new and expectant fathers for a variety of activities specifically for men, aimed at fathering, exercise and tobacco reduction. Dads in Gear (DIG), which starts in late October, is a program about communicating with men in a way they relate to -- so they feel inspired to make positive lifestyle changes for themselves and their new child, says Joan Bottorff, director of the institute for healthy living and chronic disease prevention at UBC’s Okanagan campus. “We want to support men in becoming engaged, confident fathers through interactive sessions that not only encourage healthy living but help them become the kind of fathers they want to be,” she says. “New fathers face a unique set of circumstances, which is why it is important to create a program that is directed specifically to them…” The sessions, which run for 2.5 hours once a week, are conducted in partnership with community groups including Building Healthy Families, Global Fitness Centre and Interior Health Authority. In addition to discussions and activities focusing on exercise and fathering, a significant component of the course addresses the issue of tobacco reduction. “Previous research suggests one of the things that motivate men to reduce or quit smoking is becoming a father,” says Bottorff. “But there are factors that come with parenthood that can also make it difficult to quit smoking, such as the additional stress of becoming a provider.” One of the resources that will be used for the DIG program is a booklet developed by UBC researchers called The right time…The right reasons, which is based on the reallife thoughts and experiences of new dads who have—or are currently trying to—quit smoking. “We released the booklet in June and had a very positive response from across Canada,” says Bottorff. “This booklet is not a ‘how to quit smoking’ guide. Rather, it focuses on supporting and strengthening men’s motivation to take the first step

to reducing and stopping smoking, and it links fathers who smoke to free smoking-cessation servic-

es in B.C.” The DIG pilot program is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health

istrators, and college recruiters travelled throughout the region trying to explain what had changed and what hadn’t. As the college began to receive feedback from its stakeholders, it became clear that trades programming needed to move beyond the shops and classrooms of the Kelowna campus. Starting in 2006, OC began to offer welding, electrical and plumbing throughout the valley. This week, on Oct. 15, the college opened an expansion to its trades training facility in Salmon Arm. Students now had two choices when it came to completing a degree they could attend Okanagan College or UBC Okanagan. The college offered a Computer Information Systems and Business Administration degree. It also offered firstand second- year arts and science courses where students could transfer these courses to UBC Okanagan or any other public post-secondary institution in the province. Since then, Okanagan College has established a number of new two-year diplomas which transfer to universities across the province, and today en-

rolls more than 1,400 students in arts and sciences university transfer courses. Many of these students complete their first two years of a degree and transfer to universities all over Canada. As for enrolments, since 2005 the Okanagan College student population has grown every year. There has been significant growth in just about every program area especially in trades training during the height of the building boom. Okanagan College is one of the few B.C. public post-secondary institutions which exceed its yearly enrolment targets as mandated by the provincial government. It is an institution which has managed to remain vital to the region as well as the province. The last five years of Okanagan College’s history remind me of the children’s book The Little Engine That Could. This simple lesson is that of how an institution with drive, and that truly understands its mission, is able to change lives and communities.

A deer the cause of crash on Hwy 97 A deer strolling across Highway 97 was the cause of an accident Wednesday morning involving a motorcycle and a car. At around 7:30 a.m., the drivers of a Honda pickup and a Kawasaki motorcycle were traveling southbound at Duck Lake when a deer entered the highway. In an attempt to avoid the collision with the deer, the motorcycle rider laid his bike onto the roadway. In doing so, the bike struck the front end of the truck. There was extensive damage to both vehicles, but neither drive was injured. The deer continued unharmed.

In Canada St. John Ambulance has more that 13,000 volunteers providing service in more than 300 communities from coast-to-coast. The community based uniformed volunteers are trained in an integrated system of first aid, CPR, and health care. For information call 250-762-2840 or check out the web page at www.sja.ca/bc.

▼ FRIENDSHIP GAMES

Aboriginal leaders call for event’s long-term capacity funding Leaders from B.C.’s Aboriginal Friendship Centres are gathering in Victoria later this month to urge the provincial government to adequately fund the vital services they provide to off-reserve Aboriginal people. “Friendship Centres are the largest social infrastructure for our urban communities, yet the funding we get from the Province’s Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation doesn’t come close to meeting the growing needs of B.C.’s off-reserve Aboriginal people,” explained Grace Nielsen, president of the B.C. Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres. In recent years, Friendship Centres like the one in Kelowna have witnessed ongoing migration and exponential population growth, including a doubling of the urban Aboriginal youth population in the past 10 years. Today, more than 60 per cent of B,C.’s Aboriginal population live off-reserve, representing close to 150,000 people. Urban Aboriginal people face disproportionate risks and barriers to living healthy and productive lives, including the lowest life expectancy and graduation rates, and some of the highest rates of suicide, addictions, unemployment, poverty, victimization and incarceration.

“Preventing violence against urban Aboriginal women is one area where Friendship Centres are making a big difference,” continued Nielsen. “We deal with the underlying issues that force urban Aboriginal women into vulnerable situations, and will be supporting initiatives such as the Pickton Commission to make sure this kind of tragedy never happens again.” Other services offered by B.C.’s 23 Friendship Centres include employment readiness programs; mental health, addiction and suicide prevention counselling; literacy and early childhood education courses; and support services for young families, abused women, and support to elders. “Investing in Friendship Centres is a winning proposition,” added Paul Lacerte, executive director of the B.C. Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres. “Our programs focus on prevention, early intervention and support, and save taxpayers millions of dollars in the long-term.” By way of example, Lacerte cites the fact that 53 per cent of the children living in foster care in this province are Aboriginal while Aboriginal peoples only account for five per cent of the total B.C. population.

funds. In 2005, the province established the New Relationship Trust, a $100 million capacity fund for onreserve First Nations. While Friendship Centres unequivocally support ongoing capacity building and strategic investments in First Nations communities, it is equally important to invest in the service delivery capacity for the off-reserve population. Susan Tatoosh is one leader who will be speak-

ing out loudly for this funding increase. As the executive director of the Vancouver Aboriginal Friendship Centre located in Canada’s poorest neighbourhood, she knows first-hand the overwhelming challenges caused by chronic underfunding, as well as the benefits provided by Friendship Centres. “Every day, in urban communities throughout B.C., we help to improve the quality of life for thou-

sands of Aboriginal people living off-reserve,” says Tatoosh. “But we’re truly at the breaking point. “Our Friendship Centres cannot continue to do our work without a sufficient long-term investment from the province of British Columbia. “We are well-positioned and ready to move forward as full partners with the province in building a healthier future for Aboriginal people. ”

In conclusion the evidence supports the alleged contravention.” While Best—who’s been one of the driving forces behind bringing BreakOut West to Kelowna—says he’s not concerned with being one of the sole booze-free venues for the music festival, he acknowledges the current designation isn’t appropriate for his business. “We’re an event-driven establishment,” he said.

While the average time for the licensing to follow along is in the area of six to 12 months, the Habitat’s application has been in the queue for 13 months. “Seven of those months have been about us waiting for the suspension based on the liquor board’s decision,” said Best. “So, do we agree with their decision? No. But we are doing our part to meet the license requirements.”

“Alberta Man Goes From Dead-End $30K Year Job to Multi-Millionaire by Age 35 Using Proven Rich Dad, Poor Dad Strategies. Now Teaches Thousands of British Columbians How to Get Rich in Canada (in the New Canadian Economy) at this Amazing FREE Event.”

Robert Kiyosaki with Darren Weeks Dear Financially Frustrated Friend: Are you tired of working your butt off and never getting ahead? Sick of sinking further into debt without any end in sight? Are you fed up with getting taxed to death while watching your tax dollars wasted? Do you see others getting wealthy through Real Estate, Business or Investing, and wonder how they do it? Had enough of those “latenite TV” Americans ramming their “Get Rich in Real Estate/Tax Leins/Stocks/ Internet” JUNK down our throats (you know, all those tactics that “don’t quite work” here in Canada?). As the stock markets crash and the Big Banks get bailed out, do you wonder why you never seem to get ahead by “doing what you’re told” and investing in stocks, mutual funds, RRSP’s and GIC’s?

Darren Weeks, Canadian “Multi-Millionaire” (from Edmonton), is revealing the proven success strategies he learned personally from Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad), and has perfected for our unique Canadian situation. Darren is offering an absolutely FREE event in Kamloops on Wednesday, October 27 to show how you too can become financially independent and be able to do whatever you want...in 5 years or less (No matter what is happening in the economy). He’s also giving away an Amazing FREE gift to every attendee who brings a guest. His NEW audio CD “The 7 Keys to Creating Wealth in Canada” – a $39.95 value – Free of charge just for bringing a friend (your guest gets one too)!

Why Should You Come to My FREE “How to Get Rich in Canada” Event? This is an event you will want to attend in order to learn... How to Make BIG money in Canada’s emerging New economy. Why the wealth strategies of our parent’s generation don’t work anymore, and what really works now. The difference between the advice given to the Rich and the Middle Class. The fastest and most popular way to create millions of $$$.

If you answered “yes” to any of the above, then you will definitely want to do whatever it takes to be at my upcoming “How to Get Rich in Canada” event.

If “No-Money-Down” real estate in Canada is fact or fiction(the answer may surprise you).

But Why Should You Listen to Me?

Why personal associations are critical to your financial freedom.

Good question – you should only take advice from people who are successful, and hopefully more so than you are. (In fact, after you ask them about their “net worth”, you might want to “fire” your financial planner and/or banker) My name is Darren Weeks, and I am proud to say that many of my students across the country call me the “Canadian Rich Dad”. Why? Because the monthly Passive Income (i.e. money I don’t have to work for) from my many businesses, real estate holdings and investing ventures is more than what most Canadians work hard for all year long. I’ve made money during good economies and I’ve also made money during bad economies. (In fact, huge fortunes have been made during the worst of economic times). Now don’t get me wrong... I don’t say this to brag. I am telling you this because I want you to know that I don’t just talk a good talk – I actually do what I will teach you to do. But I Haven’t Always Been So Successful... I am the first to admit it – I was a very poor student in high school and University (in fact it took me an extra year just to get through). And when I finally did graduate, my first job right out of the door was with the Alberta Government! I putzed around at a dead-end $30K a year job for far too long before I couldn’t stand it any more and I quit to start my own company. During the 90’s I built up a considerable Real Estate portfolio, and I kept going with different businesses and investment opportunities as well. In fact, by the time I read Robert Kiyosaki’s all time best selling book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, I was already doing very well financially. I was so impressed with Kiyosaki’s message, in 2001 I became a “Rich Dad Facilitator” to help spread the Rich Dad message to Canadians. And now, after all of these years, I am very pleased to have been able to show hundreds of thousands of Canadians across the country how to take control of their own finances, and to live life on their own terms. I have spurred dozens and dozens of people to become multi-millionaires in 5 years or less. Now I do not take credit for their success – they took the action and actually did something – and I am just happy that I was able to inspire them in some way. “...(Darren’s) passion for helping others had ben a great inspiration to me and I now truly understand about giving first with no exception in return. Darren and his advisors/speakers have helped us in many othre ways as well, too many to list.” Ken Beaton - Ottawa, On

How the CASHFLOW quadrants explain the conspiracy to keep Canadians poor. ...and so much more. In fact, many people come to my events time and time again because each one is always different, they want to have the messages re-inforced, and they like being around other positive, action-oriented people. The Government and the Big BANKS are Conspiring to Keep YOU Poor.

So How Long Will It Take You to Become Financially Free? I firmly believe that EVERYONE can become wealthy within 5 years or sooner of attending this life changing FREE event. This is very possible. Thousands of people who have attended this very same event are well on their way to financial freedom. They not only learned the secrets of the Rich, they realized that taking ACTION will ensure their personal financial freedom – just like it will for you. And Why is This Event FREE? By now you are probably a little skeptical. Perhaps you’ve been to other “free” events that promised you the world, gave you a little bit of information, and then did the old “bait-and –switch” on you. They probably tried to get you to buy some kind of super expensive Real Estate course (or other training). We do NOT do that at my events. We have some books and cashflow games available if you want them, and there is no pressure to purchase anything. Now putting on FREE events is very expensive, so to help defray the costs I have a very few, select sponsors. You get a fantastic education, I get to meet you and spread the Rich Dad message, and the sponsors get a few minutes to show you what they do. The best thing is... we all win! My goal with putting on these events is to start a relationship with you and get to know you a bit. Robert Kiyosaki taught me “Give first, and then you will get back.” It has worked very well for me. So leave your cheque book at home, bring a friend and just come out to the event with an open mind. Fair enough?

said Parsons, who notes they will likely be giving the art away in bundles of four or five pieces. The giveaway portion of the affair will occur the next Saturday, Oct. 21, from an undisclosed location; although it is likely to take place in the downtown core where BreakOut West music showcases will be underway giving those who come out to share in the Western Canadian Music Awards fun an added bonus to their evening. For more information check out www.papergirlkelowna.blogspot. com or simply head down to the show at Rotary Centre for the Arts. Information on the BreakOut West showcases, and the musicians playing the Saturday evening, can be found at www.breakoutwest.ca.

ATTENTION!

If I’m going to give away the farm, I might as well go even one step further...so, just for bringing a guest to this Free event, I want to give you another FREE gift... My “7 Keys to Creating Wealth in Canada” Audio CD (a $39.95 value). On this CD I show you exactly what I would do to become Financially Free in less than 5 years, starting from a homeless shelter with my family, in a new city, with no money, no friends, no job and being $35K in credit card debt!

Big Brother and the Big Banks want to keep you under their thumbs. But with the knowledge that I am going to share with you (and that your accountant/ financial planner will not, or are not able to tell you) you will learn what you need to do to become truly financially free. It is my mission to expose how the Big Banks and Financial companies always make money off average Canadians with their “Management Expense Ratios” and fees – even when their investors are losing their shirts by following their lousy advice. The game is stacked against the average investor – and is completely in their favor…unless you learn the strategies of the rich and “become the bank”. I’ll show you how at this FREE event.

Taking aim at annual jug shoot Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

It’s expected that a record number of people will come out again this year for the annual jug shoot Sunday at the Kelowna and District Fish and Game Club to help raise funds for the junior shooting and archery programs at the club. Last year, a record 250 guests came out to try shooting at waterfilled milk jugs, balloons, clay pigeons and archery targets, reports Mark Rogers, club president. He said they were surprised at the results of an exit poll last year which showed that the majority of those who attended had never been to the shooting range before.

This year, Weber and Markin Gunsmiths of Powick Road have offered to supply all the ammunition for the community event. “We’re happy that businesses like Chris’s are so enthusiastic about supporting the club,” said Rogers. The fun event has been run by the club for the last decade, with adults and youngsters shown how to use a variety of different firearms and bows for a dollar a shot. To ensure safe shooting the club’s range officers work with visitors on a one-to-one basis. Instructor Rudy Litz, who has been involved with every jug shoot, says fun events like this are a safe and easy way for parents and children to learn about shooting and

archery sports. Targets and hearing and eye protection for participants are supplied by the club, its members and boosters in the community. The shoot is Saturday, Oct. 17, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and there’ll be free hot dogs and refreshments as well. The facility is at 4041 Casorso Rd. The proceeds help to fund the junior program which involves about 70 boys and girls who participate in .22-cal. rifle target shooting, archery and trap shooting. The KDFGC has been around for 106 years and has a membership of about 1,000. Information about the club and its events is on its website at: www.kdfgc.org jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Donations can also be made at Valley First Credit Union or online at http:// polio5060.com. October marks the final phase in the Okanagan Shuswap to reach the goal set by Rotary International to raise $200 million US by 2012. This phase of fundraising is in response to a challenge by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has committed $355 million to the program. The combined $555 million will directly support immunization campaigns in developing countries, where polio continues to infect and paralyze children, robbing them of their futures and compounding the hard-

ships faced by their families. Other events will take place during October including display of the ‘iron lung’ in various areas, a presentation on Oct. 30 at the Rotary Centre for the Arts by Ramesh Ferris, a polio survivor. There will also be a fundraiser concert by Arrival, an ABBA tribute act, at the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton. Ferris first made the news in 2008, when he hand-cycled across Canada to help Rotary raise awareness and funds to fight this disease that still threatens children in parts of the world. He hand-cycled more than 7,110 km over 173 days, raised $318,000 and increased the awareness of polio dramatically. Ferris has been invited to speak at the United Nations in November

as part of Rotary International Day. Ferris will share his personal journey of surviving polio and invites everyone to join Rotary in their efforts to eradicate polio. Tickets for the presentation by Ramesh Ferris are available at $25 from any of the Rotary Clubs in Kelowna, West Kelowna and Lake Country. They are also available at The UPS Store-Westbank, Roy’s Shoes and Boots and The Evans Gallery and Framing.

Study’s findings on rise in use of antidepressants troubling

s a doctor of chiropractic, I concern myself with the body and the nervous system operating optimally in harmony with one another. A doctor of chiropractic is as concerned with your nervous system as he is your muscles and joints. Over the last decade, I have seen a steady increase in the use of antidepressants. Antidepressant medication, as cited by the CDC, is the most prescribed drug in the United States. In a report commissioned by the working group Women and Health Protection, researcher Janet Currie documents the vast increase in the use of antidepressants among Canadians. The number of prescriptions in Canada jumped from just under nine million in 1999 to over 15.5 million by 2003.

ASK DR.THIEL

Markus Thiel What is most disturbing to me is the profound increase in the use of antidepressants in children. This number has nearly tripled since 1999. Dr. Ed Pigott, a psychologist practicing in Clarksville, Maryland, recently published an article in psychotherapy and psychosomatics that casts some doubt on the efficacy of the broad usage of antidepressants in today’s current therapies. Essentially, he found that a broad review of FDA trials, suggests antidepressant therapy is only marginally better than placebo. After his meta-analy-

sis review of trials submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, he found that antidepressants are only “marginally effacious” and “document profound publication bias that inflates their apparent efficacy.” He furthers states: “In other words, if you’re trying to look at sustained benefit, you’re only looking at 2.7 per cent, which is a pretty jaw-dropping number.” Dr. Pigott and his colleagues, for the purpose

of the study, reviewed all efficacy trials for new drugs between 2001 and 2002, reviewed 74 past trials of 12 antidepressants, reviewed 47 trials of six FDA approved antidepressant, reviewed depression severity and efficacy in 35 other separate trials. It is the largest meta-analysis of its type to date. This is not to say that there are not those who benefit from the use of antidepressant medication. In fact, I’m certain it is not only a necessity but

a godsend to those who truly require it. However, my interpretation of his work simply states that for medication that is so widely used, it needs further validation. I agree with him when he states: “The inescapable conclusion from the results is that we need to explore more seriously other forms of treatment (and combinations thereof) that may be more effective.” There is a large and convincing body of evi-

dence that suggests alternative therapies such as the usage of omega-3 essential acids, vitamin B therapy, macca and implementation of exercise as effective treatments for those who are suffering from depression. It is important to note that if you are feeling that you are suffering from depression, that you should pursue the guidance and assistance of appropriate health care professional. Even more important is to note that if you

are considering stopping your antidepressant medication, it should never be done without the guidance and involvement of your medical doctor. To stop and antidepressant medication abruptly, or to quickly, can have serious side effects on your health. This is especially true if you have been taking them for a long-term.

the published data that 16 per cent of individuals in prisons have a serious mental illness. Numbers varied from state to state and there was a correlation between a state’s spending on mental health and the likelihood of people being incarcerated rather than hospitalized. Arizona and Nevada had the highest likelihood of mentally ill individuals being in jail—it is nine times more likely in these states to be in prison than hospital if you have a mental illness. You may wonder what relevance this information has for Canadians.

HEALING MINDS

Paul Latimer mental health issues exists in Canada. In both countries, deinstitutionalization has resulted in more individuals with serious illness left to fend for themselves with few supports. Economic and political realities have also resulted in physician shortages and lack of sufficient community-based services for the mentally ill in both Canada and the U.S. Continued stigma surrounding mental illness pushes these issues out of the forefront as those who are ill often can’t or don’t want to advocate on their own behalf and mental illness isn’t a catchy fundraising topic for non-profit agencies. Meanwhile, hospital space continues to drop and prison populations continue to climb. Communities don’t know what to do with mentally ill people living on the streets and so they are often placed in jail. According to this study’s author, this seems to be slowly becoming the way the mentally ill are dealt with. In this study, researchers made several recommendations for reversing the situation in the U.S. I believe these would also be useful here in Canada. Initiatives such as the creation of separate mental health courts giving offenders a choice between adhering to a treatment plan or going to jail would likely result in some constructive results. Mental health courts do actually already exist in a couple of Canadian provinces including Ontario. I believe we would be better served to help ensure the seriously mentally ill among us have access to appropriate and affordable treatment options. It would cost less in human suffering and tax dollars for sick people to be treated rather than locked away.

No easy games in B.C. Division Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

In Ryan Huska’s mind, the concept of easy games in the Western Hockey League is ancient history. The same goes for the B.C. Division where points have been especially hard to come by over the first three weeks of the season. That’s what makes inter-divisional tilts— such as Friday’s matchup between the Kelowna Rockets and hometown Chilliwack Bruins—particularly crucial. The Rockets and Bruins will meet a total of eight times this season. “Those games are big for sure and, whether they’re in your division or not, you need to be able to come and compete every night or the results won’t be very good,” said Huska. “All of the teams in our division are playing well, so we need to get our game going sooner rather than later.” Three weeks into the season, every team in B.C. has lost at least three times, while no club has more than five wins. Much to head coach Ryan Huska’s chagrin, the Rockets are currently at the bottom of the pack with just four points and a 2-5 record. A modest two-game win streak ended for Kelowna Wednesday at Prospera Place in a 5-4 loss to the rival Kamloops Blazers. The Rockets, who trailed 5-2, put forth a game effort in the third

to make it close, but Huska and the coaching staff didn’t like much else of what they saw. “I thought the score was flattering for us,” Huska said. “We didn’t compete and we lost a lot of one-on-one battles. Kamloops was the better team.” Jordon Cooke, getting his second start of the season, gave up four goals on 22 shots before being replaced by Adam Brown in the second period. Huska didn’t lay any blame on the rookie netminder. “It wasn’t Jordon, it was the play in front of him that wasn’t very good,” said Huska. “There were guys left wide open. “Our guys need to understand they have to compete for pucks, we weren’t strong enough on our sticks and that’s an area of concern.” And until the club’s overall effort improves dramatically, Huska said the coaching staff will continue to rotate players in and out of the lineup. “If we have healthy bodies around then it doesn’t matter who it is, we want guys in the lineup who are playing hard,” Huska said. “It doesn’t matter who it is, it won’t be the same guys who will sit out. Guys need to compete and get their noses dirty.” Rockets captain Tyson Barrie (hamstring) remains sidelined and is doubtful for this weekend’s action. The Rockets will host the Portland Winterhawks on Saturday, 7 p.m. at Prospera Place.

Sun aims to end Island Raider monopoly Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

It’s been a nagging, recurring theme that Matt Scheurwater wants no part of in 2010. For four straight playoffs, the Okanagan Sun receiver has seen the title hopes of his team crushed at the hands of the Vancouver Island Raiders. Now, as the two bitter rivals meet yet again in the postseason, Scheurwater yearns for a measure of

payback in Sunday’s B.C. Football Conference final. “The five years I’ve been here, we haven’t had much success against them, and absolutely none in the playoffs…so it’s pretty explanatory how badly we want to beat them,” said the Scheurwater, 22, the multiple record-holder who will graduate from the Sun program at season’s end. “It’s no secret our teams don’t have the best relationship and they’ve

had the better of us over the years. But with our crowd behind us, and playing at home we feel like this is the time for us. It’s our turn.” Kick off for the Cullen Cup Sunday at the Apple Bowl is 1 p.m. as clubs clash in the playoffs for the fifth straight year. The two-time national champion Raiders beat the Sun three consecutive times in the conference final from 2006 to 2008, then again in the semis last season—

each and every time in Nanaimo. The Sun gained a small but sweet measure of revenge back on Aug. 7 when they beat the Raiders 27-19, eventually leading to a first-place finish and home field advantage for the duration of the playoffs. With the roles of home and away reversed for a change, Sun head coach Peter McCall is urging his troops to make the most of the situation. “They’re the 13th man,” McCall said of the Sun faithful who he hopes will be jamming the seats on Sunday afternoon. “We want to have a ruckus crowd, it really fires the guys up…it’s awesome that we’re at home because it hasn’t happened in a while. This is what we’ve played for all year, to host throughout, and now we need to take advantage of it.” Still, home field advantage or not, games are not necessarily won in the stands. Raiders head coach Matt Blokker expects the pressure will be squarely on the Sun’s shoulders come Sunday afternoon. Blokker also likes the progress his team has made—led by quarterback Jordan Yantz and running back Jordan Botel–since the last meeting 2 1/2 months ago. “Obviously we still have a bitter taste from the last one, everything we could do wrong we did in week four against the Sun,” Blokker said. “One thing we’ve done well is we’ve stayed aggressive, no matter who we’ve played and we feel like we’ve improved every week. We do have experience with us too,

and we’ve been through this several times. We’re not feeling any pressure. They’re the No. 1 team in our league and they’re expected to win.” It’s been a week of intense of preparation and film watching for Sun players and coaches, who freely admit will the club will need to be better on both sides of the ball than in last weekend’s 30-20 playoff win over Victoria. Quarterback Bobby Davis expects an all-out battle between the Sun offense and Vancouver Island defense. “The Raiders have a strong defense, they play intense, and they go all out until the whistle blows,” said Davis, who passed for 2,168 yards and 20 touchdowns this season. “For us it’s going to mean going full out on every play, making all our blocks and battling back against what they bring. Our offense has meshed and matured as the season has gone along and we feel like we’ll be ready for them.” The winner will host the Intergold Cup Canadian semifinal Oct. 30 against the Ontario Conference champions. The Canadian Bowl final will be played at the home of the Prairie Football Conference champion Nov. 13.

SUN SPOTS…

The Sun is urging fans to wear orange for Sunday’s game…Sun lineman Steven Doege is the BCFC defensive player of the week. The Sun’s team MVP in 2010, Doege blocked a convert, forced and recovered a fumble, and made three solo tackles in his team’s 30-20 playoff win Sunday over the Victoria Rebels.

Weekend road trip for Warriors The Westside Warriors look to end a three-game B.C. Hockey League slide this weekend on the road. On Friday night, Darren Yopyk’s squad will be in Coquitlam to battle the Express. Then on Saturday, Westside will head up the coast to take on the Powell River Kings. The Warriors are trying to bounce back from a 2-1 overtime loss at the hands of the Pentic-

ton Vees Tuesday night at Royal LePage Place. Joey Laleggia’s second of the game at 2:33 of the first overtime session was the difference. Matthew Maher scored the Warriors’ lone goal in the opening period, while Westside goalie Kevin Boyle has a solid night with 32 saves. The Warriors, who lost a home-and-home set last weekend to Vernon, are 5-6-1-1 on the season, five

points back of the Vipers and Trail for third spot in the Interior Division.

CHIEFS ON BREAK…

The Kelowna Chiefs are in the midst of a weeklong break before returning to KIJHL action next Wednesday, Oct. 20 in Penticton against the Lakers. The Chiefs are coming off a 6-3 home-ice loss Tuesday night to Sicamous.

The Eagles opened up a 4-0 lead before the Chiefs rallied to make a game of it in the third period. Goals by Tanner Clarkson, Landon Andrusiak and Branden Redschlag in a 2 1/2 minute span cut the Eagles lead to one, but Sicamous put the game away with two more in the third. The Chiefs (7-7-0) next home action is Friday, Oct. 22 against Penticton.

Kennedy player of week KSS Owls take Ogopogo, There’s no sign of Alexa Kennedy of taking her foot off the gas late stages in the BCCAA regular season. The second-year striker for the UBC Okanagan Heat has been named the conference’s player of the week in women’s soccer. Kennedy leads the Heat and BCCAA with nine goals scored in 2010. Following a hat-trick Oct. 3 against UNBC, Kennedy scored another two goals last Saturday against Thompson Rivers to lead the Heat to a comefrom-behind 2-1 win. Then on Sunday, an

Alexa Kennedy equally dangerous Kennedy fired a shot that was saved by the TRU keeper, but UBCO teammate Lindsey Briggs was there for the rebound to score the game’s lone goal in a

1-0 win. Heat coach Claire Paterson said players with Kennedy’s scoring ability are few and far between. “Alexa is one of those rare athletes with a striker mentality—it’s something you can’t really teach she just wants the ball and wants to score goals,” said Paterson. “She has definitely been a key part of our programs growth over the past two seasons.” The Heat, which lead the BCCAA with a 7-0-2 record, will host UNBC Sunday at 10 a.m. on the UBCO turf. The men will play UNBC at noon.

Ursel starts strong without skip With their skip on the shelf nursing a sore knee, the Bob Ursel rink made it to the semifinals of a World Curling Tour event for the second straight time. The Kelowna team reached the final four at the Westcoast Classic in New Westminster before dropping a 6-3 decision on Monday to Olympic champion Kevin Martin of Edmonton. Regular rink members—fourth-man Jim Cotter, second Kevin Folk and lead Rick Sawatsky— were joined in New West by substitute thirds Dean Joanisse and Ken Maskiewich for the weekend and the results were promising. t The Ursel rink went 6-2 and picked up $8,750. Two weeks earlier, the Kelowna team picked up Ryan Kuhn as their kthird man and reached the semifinals of the Vernon Curling Classic. For Ursel, watching from the sidelines has been somewhat disappointing but, based on this team’s performance, also very satisfying. “It sure would have been nice to be out there, but the guys have been playing just great,” said Ursel, who tweaked his

VIOLINIST JASPER WOOD performs Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 with the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra this weekend.

OSO appeals to younger audience Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

When internationally acclaimed violinist Jasper Wood drops his kids off at school these days, it can be bitter sweet. While education clearly plays a critical role in his world—professor by day, concert violinist by night—spending every other weekend on the road come spring and fall takes its toll. “There was a period last year where I was gone about six weeks and back for only four days,” he said. “That was too much.” But when there’s an opportunity to play Beethoven’s Violin Concerto No. 5, as he will do for three nights this weekend for the season opener of the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, something has to give. This is a particularly important piece for Wood, who remembers this concerto as the one that pulled him back into music. “There were a few times when I was a teenager and was debating if I really wanted to go

into music,” he explained over the telephone with the Capital News this week. “The Beethoven Concerto was just the piece that sucked me back in and said, ‘Oh this is just so amazing, you’ve got to stay.’” From a technical point of view, the concerto is one of those musical adventures that’s complex for its simplicity. Because the music is so open, there is little room for error, and it really takes some maturity to pull off, Wood said. For himself, he set 30 as that benchmark age where he felt he could really understand the nuances of what was happening well enough to play the piece to its full potential and he stuck to the rule, finally agreeing to play the part for the first time with the Billings Symphony Orchestra in Montana. The symphony made the piece their great symphony for the evening, but it will form the OSO’s first performance this week. Okanagan Symphony music director Rosemary Thomson’s program centres on

Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, or as she puts it, “the most famous four notes in music.” This rendition is said to be a protracted version of the bellowing notes, drawing the audience down a melodious journey that should tease them into making regular return trips to hear the orchestra for the 2010-11 season. This last season was a particularly difficult year for the professional musicians employed by the orchestra as they celebrated their 50th anniversary against a backdrop of political upheaval producing unprecedented financial cuts. While the province has been showboating new festival concepts, artistic staples like the symphony have taken major hits under the government’s new arts funding scheme, including the recently announced loss of BC Arts Council grants to the tune of a 75 per cent cut. Yet having just scooped new general manager Scott Wilson from the Toronto Symphony’s administrative team, there is plenty of hope on the horizon.

That hope centres on breathing new life into audience participation, drawing on the next generation of music lovers to enjoy the talents of young musicians like Wood. Wood’s last performance in the area was with his trio, Triple Forté, which sees him perform with two of Canada’s other top young soloists—pianist David Jalbert and Yegor Dyachkov. These will be his first performances with the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra: • Kelowna Community Theatre, 8 p.m. Oct. 15; Ticketmaster.ca or 250-860-1470 • Cleland Theatre in Penticton, 7:30 p.m. Oct. 16; tickets 250-770-1470 • Vernon Performing Arts Centre, 7 p.m. Oct. 17; Ticket Seller or call 250549-7469.

Are you helping to organize volunteers and wonder if there is a better way to do it? Do you have challenges recruiting and keeping volunteers? Need some ideas? Why not sign up for our Overview of Management workshop? In a group of eight to 12 people, you can share experiences and gain knowledge about best practices in the field of volunteering. Each of the four days of this workshop is taught by a different volunteer manager. Their experience spans arts and culture, social services, health and education. The diversity of their experience broadens and deepens your learning and they are local so that you can seek their counsel afterwards as well. This workshop is practical and hands on. A full range of forms, checklists and other tools are provided so that you can plan, oversee and evaluate any size of volunteer program at any stage of development. So what will you learn? On the first day, you will learn how volunteer and donation trends impact your plans to recruit people. A communication module will sharpen your one-on-one interactions. Day two will involve you in budgeting, record keeping, drafting position descriptions and considering the impact of social networking. By day three, you move on to screening volunteers, managing risk and training volunteers using all types of adult learning styles. The final day allows you to focus on supervising, dismissing difficult volunteers, recognizing successful volunteer contributions, dealing with staff and volunteer relations and evaluating your program in a variety of ways, including its economic impact. The workshop will run Mondays and Tuesdays, Nov. 8, 9, 15 and 16 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m at Kelowna Community Resources, 120-1735 Dolphin Ave. The cost is $199.

Warner to release Harry’s latest in 2D T

he big news in the movie biz this past week was that part one of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will not be released in 3D. The reason given is that there was not enough time to do a good conversion to 3D before its release date and rather than release a poor conversion on time or delay its release, Warner Brothers decided to do a 2D release only. That tells me that either Warners learned from its substandard 3D release of Clash of the Titans earlier this year and/ or did not want to face the wrath of the multitude of Harry Potter fans by sullying their precious franchise. Either way, it was a good choice because even though theatres need a “tent-pole” 3D movie to justify the number of 3D screens there are in existence, a poor 3D version of a franchise like Harry Potter would be a huge step backwards for 3D, which seems to be suffering from a growing amount

Rick Davis of negative audience reaction. That being said, Warner Brothers is still planning to release part two of The Deathly Hallows in 3D next summer and rumours abound that part one may get a re-release in 3D sometime before that. That gives the filmmakers time to do the 3D right and could convince naysayers to give it another chance. Speaking of 3D, the new Jackass movie comes out this weekend. The only question is if 3D will make the stunts and practical jokes Johnny Knoxville and company perform funnier or just more idiotic.

MCMILLAN FARMS

McMillan Farms should be the next stop for pumpkin lovers—it is home to the largest corn maze in the Okanagan as well as the largest pumpkin patch in Kelowna. There are lots of fun farm activities for the kids including the pumpkin sling shot—who wouldn’t want to shoot gourds at a target with a giant sling shot? Open everyday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. until Oct. 31. For more, email information@mcmillanfarms.ca, call 250-4482336 or check out their website www.mcmillanfarms.ca.

RECIPES

Of course, pumpkins are also great for cooking. I found this recipe a few years back in Gourmet Magazine, changed a couple of things and have made it several times with great response. Pumpkin Cheesecake with Bourbon Sour Cream Topping Filling:

Gun registry provides expensive stats

bbotsford has more registered weapons per capita than Surrey, or even Van-

couver. In fact, there are more than 27,000 firearms in this city, according to the Canadian Firearms Registry. That may surprise some people. It may even alarm others, but it shouldn’t. Registered weapons aren’t the ones we need to be worried about. It’s the guns that aren’t regis-

tered, and the people who don’t register them that are the real concern. If illegal guns reflect just 10 per cent of the total of legal firearms, that’s nearly another 3,000 guns out there the authorities don’t know about, and can’t track. And that speaks volumes about the long gun registry program. The vast majority of the firearms registered under this monumentally expensive system are rifles and shotguns, primar-

MAIN SWITCHBOARD

ily used for hunting and target shooting. They are, except for a miniscule percentage, owned by law-abiding citizens—obviously, otherwise they wouldn’t be registered. Police and pro-registry advocates say the gun registry is useful because it alerts them to the presence of weapons in a home, particularly in instances of domestic disputes. True enough, but prior to this legislation, what did officers do? They assumed there may be guns in the house, and con-

ducted themselves accordingly, with the emphasis on caution. And they would have resumed that sensible practice had the national long gun registry been abolished in the recent federal government vote, which unfortunately did not pass. The gun registry does provide some interesting statistics, at a cost in excess of $1 billion. What it does not do is address the real, serious issues surrounding firearms in Kelowna, or any other.

Shadenfreude satisfaction will have to wait for another day

“S

hadenfreude: The pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. This German word is used as a loanword in English. In Danish and Norwegian it’s skadefryd.” No matter how you pronounce it, one can’t deny the appeal of schadenfreude. It’s perfect for when the idiot driver who zipped by you 30 km/hr over the speed limit gets nabbed by some keen Mountie. It’s springs to mind when the twit you can’t stand gets what’s coming to them.

And today it was the

KATHARTIC best word to describe

the way I felt when I read Apple has come up with an anti teensexting app for their phones. It should block Kathy all foul words and any Michaels naughty passages intended to titillate. Text filters would identify and make allowances for the user’s age or the user’s educational level, possibly re-routing inappropriate emails back to a parent that may be tied to the phone’s account. Not that I disapprove of the pastime. Truthfully, I don’t really understand how someone can feel amo-

rous in front of a keyboard of any size. But if you’re to put much stock in the 20/20s of the world you’d know that every teenager and their pre-teen sibling is getting onto their cell phones and lighting up the airwaves. It’s a technological Sodom and Gomorrah out there. They’re tweeting, blogging and sexting their way into sick cybernetic promiscuity which has to led to the real deal. It makes every interaction with a teenager feel like cause to don a hazmat suit and ask dating tips. Or so I thought. Following satisfying news that teens would be forced to learn how to engage in the awkward face-to-face encounters that made me the neurotic adult I am today, I came

across the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behaviour. Published last week, it’s the most comprehensive national survey of Americans’ sex lives since Dr Alfred Kinsey’s reports some 60-odd years ago. Published earlier this month, the US-centric report casts a more honest view on young adults than we’ve previously been led to believe. It says few teens seem to be having sex with anybody apart from themselves, despite fears “sexting,” websites such as Facebook and instant messaging services are leading to unhealthy behaviours. Of the 14- to 16-year-old boys and girls surveyed, only around 10 per cent said they were engaging in any

kind of sexual activity with a partner. Nearly 80 per cent of the boys and 69 per cent of the girls surveyed said they used a condom the last time they had sex, against 25 per cent for all the men in the study, leading the researchers to conclude that condom use had now become “the norm” among teens. Now that’s actually good news. Turns out the after school specials are working, and I don’t have to be one of those old codgers who talk about how scary the next generation has become. More importantly, it means I’ll have plenty of schadenfreude to save up for another day. Kathy Michaels is a staff reporter. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

LETTERS

▼ HARD WORK

Coming to Canada has brought blessings , a tech guy in Windows, troubleshooting and PC repair, sweeping the floor. I wouldn’t have even got that job without my son. He worked (at the business) for four months one summer holiday when he was in his third year at UBCO for extra money. The factory manager was so fascinated by my son for his ethics that he gave me the job soon after I applied. Otherwise, a 54-year-old man with arthritis in his hands is not practically fit for the job, particularly having spent half his life on computers. Some ignorant workers spread hatred and racial comments that we ‘immigrants’ are destroying the economy for being on the welfare system all the time. I am the most fortunate person for having very high-IQ kids. It seems to me that the Canadian government appreciates talents—if you are smart you will get all the help you need, and if you are dumb you are on your own. If that is the case, I believe that it is a truly moral government. I wish I could give a message to those teenagers who are dropping out of schools, or those who are on drugs and have family problems. When my kids came to this country seven years ago, they had three barriers; No.1, they didn’t speak English, not even one word; No.2, they’ve had no mother to prepare their dinner after coming back from school; No.3, they had a poor father on welfare and then sweeping the floor. If you don’t have any of those problems, you should be thankful to God that you are blessed to have more than what my kids could ever dream of. You better believe that you are blessed to be in a country that has so much generosity to their students. My daughter just entered her first year in UBCO. She wants to become a doctor. I can tell you right up front that she is just as smart as her brother, and I am very confident that the Canadian government will pour a lot of money on her to finish her education and become a doctor. I take this opportunity to give my deepest thanks to the provincial and federal governments of Canada for their financial support to my son, and my thanks to the professors and staff of UBCO for their valuable support. God bless this country. Thanks Canada. D. Murran, West Kelowna

Bon voyage mayor and Kasugai delegates To the editor: Re: Mayor leads Delegation to Sister City Kasagai, Oct. 13 Capital News. Mayor Shepherd, you have to be kidding— Kasagai! I lived in Tokyo, Japan for 12 years, required for business travel throughout Japan and was fluent in Japanese. Before retir-

ing to Kelowna four years ago I travelled on business to Japan, China, Korea and Taiwan three or four times per year, ending up in many cities some of which I could omit. You will be courteously received, awed by the culture and infrastructure. If fortunate you might even forge a new bon-

sai or judo club tie. Even better, learn that the city of 300,000 plus is named as Kasugai in Aichi Ken close to Nagoya City, the third largest incorporated city in Japan, a major business centre. Good luck and have a good trip. Terry Kennedy, Kelowna

Call for MLA Stewart’s recall Open letter to MLA Ben Stewart: I read with some interest your column in the Capital News on Oct. 1 (UBCM Helping to Build Stronger Futures for B.C. Commuities.) I find it sad that you can applaud your work with the municipalities and listening to their visions, but during your election you could not be forthright about the HST and then listen to your constituents’ visions and represent our wishes. A government that is for the people, will do things that are beneficial to the people, rather than just those things that are good for those in power. That is why, sir, a democracy has been symbolized by the definition: “Government of the People, by the People, for the People.” That translates into meaning, “the majority rules.” Now Premier Campbell is hitting the airwaves. The Liberal spin doctors want to stop the hemorrhaging. So we will hear the brand new yarn or fable that has been drafted. “Once upon a time in a land called B.C., there was a political party called the Liberals who made a unfathomable faux pas choosing not to tell the electorate about their commitment to the HST prior to the election. Now they

choose to downplay that faux pas, with distractions like the economy, education and B.C.’s future.” Premier Campbell and his smug counterpart Finance Minister Hansen have apologized. I for one cannot accept this apology. They had to have known about the HST. If they didn’t, the Liberals have the wrong people at the helm. They knowingly took a calculated risk and were exposed. How can anyone believe anything they say moving forward? It’s time to do the right thing and hold the referendum on the HST now. The other option is face the public in another general election—you choose. Maybe you can explain why most elected politicians quickly forget about the voters who believed in them, voted for them. I made a serious mistake, and I believe others did as well casting our votes for you. But, even after the fact, I never heard you stating, “Premier Campbell, the people who elected me do not want the HST!” Why not? Are career aspirations getting in the way? If so, maybe they will interfere with your ability to represent us at any time Let your recall begin. David W. Kuhn, West Kelowna

To the editor: It was the year of 2003 when we moved here from Mazatlan, Mexico. My wife had passed away from bone marrow cancer earlier in 2002. She left me with two wonderful kids. My daughter was nine years old, and my son was 13. In the last few minutes that I saw my wife in a Mexican hospital, she only said three words before she took her last breath and went to sleep forever: “Quida los niños” which means take care of the kids. My kids were among the smartest in Mexican schools. When we moved here, the Rutland Senior Secondary School didn’t want to accept my son in Grade 10 for his age. The Mexican certificate of Grade 9 showed that all his science subjects were above 90 per cent and I somehow convinced the principal that it was unfair to repeat the year in spite of the fact that my kids did not speak any English, not even one word when they came here. The Rutland School principal accepted him in Grade 10 saying that he was going to monitor my son’s progress for three months, taking English as a second language (ESL). Well, my son had all As and Bs in his science classes but his English was low until his second year. Eventually, he finished his Grade 12 at Mount Boucherie Secondary School with all As and gained a provincial scholarship to UBCO in 2006. He took electrical engineering. Both the Canadian provincial and federal governments were giving him a lot of money in grants and bursaries. He was one of the top students at UBCO. When he graduated last year the federal government offered him a grant for a Master degree of two years at UBCO. A few days ago, he received an e-mail from the Ministry of Advanced Education and UBCO offering him a research trip to Japan for two months, paying him all the expenses, in order to attend a research in electronic design. The sad part of the story is that when we moved to here I was on income assistance most of the time. The only job I ever secured was as a cleaner, in spite of my long years of computer graphic design in Adobe software and being very experienced in HTML and web design. I even have a published graphics book in my name related to perspective science, a subject taught in architecture. Here I am

▼ ACUPUNCTURE

Addressing wind invasions that trigger asthma attacks A sthma is a chronic inflammatory condition where the airways to our lungs narrow and swell. They produce extra mucus, and breathing becomes difficult. The most common symptoms of asthma are coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath but asthma symptoms range from minor to severe and vary from person to person. Some people only experience symptoms when they have asthma flareups, that may primarily occur at night, during exercise, or when exposed to specific triggers, allergies, or irritants. These people may have mild symptoms and infrequent asthma attacks and to them, asthma symptoms are a minor nuisance. Others experience severe or constant asthma symptoms that are a major problem and interfere with daily activities. It isn’t well-understood in western medicine why some people get asthma and others don’t, but it is believed to be caused by a combination of environmental and genetic factors. Risk factors include having a parent or sibling with asthma, having an

NEEDLE NOTES

James Kaufman allergic condition, a low birth rate, and being exposed to pollution, chemicals, allergens, and cigarette smoke. One thing we do know is that asthma is very common, affecting millions of adults and children and that number is growing every year. The western medicine approach to asthma is to control its symptoms, rather than cure asthma. Treatment involves learning to recognize triggers and taking steps to avoid them, combined with the use of asthma medications such as inhalers and corticosteroids, among others, to keep symptoms under control. Unfortunately, many of these medications have unfortunate side effects or compromise other areas of health or daily living. Chinese medicine has a different approach to asthma, and can be quite effective for this condition. According to Chinese medicine, the root cause

of asthma is generally due to a constitutional (hereditary) weakness in the body’s defensive qi-energy system. Our defensive qi (‘chee’) system is a part of our body’s immune system, providing resistance to outside pathogens. Because our lungs are directly exposed to things in our external environment like cold, heat, smoke or pollen, our lungs are an important part of our defense system. People who develop asthma, have a weakness of defensive qi, particularly in the lungs, that may be aggravated by lifestyle such as diet and emotional stress, and exposure to external allergens, irritants, and chemicals. These external allergens, irritants, and pathogens are called invasions of “wind” in Chinese medicine, which essentially refers to anything of external origin that has an effect on our internal health. The combination of a weakened defense system and these “wind” invasions are conditions for asthma to develop. Acupuncture treatments target these wind invasions which are the trigger for asthma attacks. Regular treatments

during asthma attacks or severe asthma symptoms can help to reduce symptoms and lessen the frequency of the attacks. During the periods when asthma attacks are infrequent and symptoms are mild, acupuncture treatment focuses on treating the root problemthe weakness of the defensive-qi systems. By correcting and strengthening immune system functioning and influencing the body to function in a more healthy state, we can produce more lasting results for asthma sufferers. In many cases this can mean living symptom-free or with minimum symptoms for asthma sufferers. Because asthma is complex condition that has to do with the body’s constitution, the treatment of asthma with acupuncture is usually steady and gradual, requiring a longer series of treatments to produce lasting results. However, lasting results can be achieved,

making acupuncture a great option for the treatment of asthma.

Audi R8 V10 Spyder truly one of the best Jim Robinson CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

JIM ROBINSON/CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

STANDING OR MOVING, the 2011 Audi R8 V10 Spyder is a car that grabs your attention with its handsome styling, a thrilling exhaust note and selection of leathers and carbon fibre appointments.

An impressive line-up with impressive offers are right here, right now.

It is not surprising that 2011 Audi R8 V10 Spyder was named a finalist in the Canadian Automotive Jury’s Best of the Best Awards. Information on the awards, the finalists and the members of the Jury can be found at www.thecanadianautomotivejury. ca As tested in a rich red, the R8 Spyder is as impressive in looks as it is in performance. When the 5.2-litre, twincam V10 hits 3,500 rpm, the song from the exhaust and the twin rear deck louvres is almost

like a tenor saxophone but way, way louder. Except for the drop top, the Spyder is the same as the Coupe in most respects. In fact it is identical from the A pillar forward. The driver sits far forward with the huge engine behind making for an unmistakable profile. You will not go unnoticed arriving or leaving in an R8 Spyder. So many things stand out with the Spyder, starting with the fittings. An example is the engine exhaust ports. Finished in a titanium color, they arc back with the See Audi Spyder B2

Engine lunges into life with a bark Audi Spyder from B1 openings glaring straight into the eyes of the driver behind you. Then there is the flatbottomed steering wheel trimmed in leather that has just the right amount of tactile feel without being sticky. Start the engine and it lunges into life with a bark that settles down to a gruff idle. Immediately, you sense there is so much on tap that you tend to move off gingerly—at first. But with leading-edge engine management, this 525 hp

beast is actually a pussycat around town. But all pretensions of civility vanish when you start using the right pedal with intent. The 5.2-litre V10, besides 525 horses, has 390 lb/ft of torque routing power through either a six-speed manual or an optional single-clutch sixspeed Rtronic sequential transmission and quattro all-wheel-drive (AWD) with torque split to a constant 30/70 per cent front/ See Audi Spyder B3

IN A CHOICE of leathers and carbon fibre, the cockpit of the R8 Spyder is happily

not festooned with knobs and rocker switches but just the tools you need to get the job done. The optional leather seats have pigmentation that keeps cooler in the direct sun.

▼ ROAD TEST

Manual gears ‘other ballgame’ Audi Spyder from B2 rear. Top speed is limited to 313 km/h and it goes from 0-100 km/h in a mere 4.1 seconds. I drove the Rtronic at the press preview in the spring and, frankly, it is annoying. The manual is a whole other ballgame. The beefy shifter is set in a seven-slot (six forward, one reverse) gate in gleaming aluminum and is a work of art. But when you are at speed and shift up or down, there is a deeply satisfying ≥ching≤ sound as the lever kisses the gate opening on the way in. Because the torque is modest compared to the horsepower, it’s actually a bonus because the power comes in linearly like turning on a tap. And then from around 4,000 rpm, the Spyder goes from fun to glorious. During almost a week with the car I was blessed with sunny, cloudless skies with the first licks of the cold of autumn. Stop anywhere and crowds would gather. In a post-season resort town people with bicycles, coffee in their hands or walking dogs showed up three and four deep. But out on long stretches of vacant road was where the fun was to be had. The top has to be seen in action. The multi-layered cloth bonnet can be lowered at speeds up to 50 km/h. One of the truly great features is three, yes three, tiny microphones imbedded in the driver’s seatbelt. They allow the driver hands-free Bluetooth cellphone connectivity. But Audi doesn’t end there with the cool stuff. You would expect the security system to monitor the cabin for intrusion but the R8 Spyder’s horn operates independent of the electrical system. And if someone tried to tow the car, there is a tilt sensor that sounds an alarm if the car is being boosted. If you want options, you can have the whole interior done in carbon fibre instead of leather as fitted to my tester. Or for that matter you can do the entire engine bay in carbon fibre. But it’s kind of a waste because the view is hidden by the cloth top where it is visible for all the world to see through the glass rear window on the Coupe. Base price for the

AMONG THE MANY OPTIONAL extras is the

Carbon Sigma Interior Package at $3,400. If you like that, you can get the same package for the exterior at $10,000. 2011 R8 V10 Spyder is $187,000. The as tested price was $204,900 including $17,900 in options in addition to $2,795 for shipping.

Chief of this options were the exterior and interior carbon packages at $10,000 and $3,400 respectively and $4,000 for the enhanced leath-

er seats that have special pigmentation to prevent them from heating up too much. But these are gilding on the lily. The Spyder doesn’t need them to get the message home that this is one of the most exciting cars on the planet. The 2011 Audi R8 V10 Spyder is truly one of the best of the best.

The Canadian Automotive Jury has announced the finalists in its 2011 Best of the Best Awards for Automotive Excellence. The list comprises four luxury cars, four midprice vehicles and four economy cars. They are, in alphabetical order: Audi R8 (includes Spyder—see story feature page B1);

BMW 5 Series (includes GT); Buick Regal (Turbo and non); Cadillac CTS (all models); Ford Fiesta (sedan and hatch); Hyundai Sonata (turbo/ non and hybrid); Jeep Grand Cherokee; Kia Sportage; Mazda2; Mercedes-Benz E-Class (all models); VW Jetta (all models); VW Golf (2010 Best of the Best winner).

The overall 2011 Best of the Best will be chosen from the finalists after a comparative test session, with the winner to be announced later in the year. The jury consists of 10 automotive writers/broadcasters who are, arguably, the best-known in Canada reaching 83 per cent of readers and viewers in the country. A full list of members and outlets can be found at the CAJ website (www. thecanadianautomotivejury.ca).

The jury does not accept any money or inducements from the auto industry. Members pay their own way. All revenues from use of the trademarked name and logo go to charity. Instead of giving an award to one specific model of car or truck, the Jury considers a whole family not one specific model.

• Maximum return on investment through longest maintenance intervals and best-in-class fuel efficiency. As of Jan. 1, 2010, the Sprinter officially joined the Mercedes-Benz Canada group and is now on sale at Mercedes-Benz dealers from coast-tocoast. The MercedesBenz Sprinter’s 3.0-litre, BlueTEC V6 turbodiesel engine provides exceptional power and performance under all operating conditions. With a maximum output of 188 hp and 325 lb/ft of torque at 1,400-2,400 rpm, this advanced Mercedes-Benz powerplant sets new performance standards for tdiesel-powered vans. The Sprinter is equipped with a fivespeed automatic transmission that offers maximum smoothness, well-spaced ratios, best-in-class long service life and excellent fuel economy. All Sprinter models come equipped with a new-generation Electronic Stability Program (ESP) known as Adaptive ESP. This advanced system has been fully integrated with the anti-lock braking system (ABS), acceleration skid control (ASR), electronic brake force distribution (EBD), hydraulic Brake Assist (BAS) and ESP Trailer Stability Assist. In addition, an integrated Start-off Assist system prevents the vehicle from rolling downhill when the driver switches from the brake pedal to the accelerator on a hill start. The sophisticated Adaptive ESP system includes a self-learning algorithm which calculates vehicle mass and centre of gravity based on parameters such as acceleration, speed, accelerator pedal position and brake pressure. This allows the system

to react more precisely to critical driving situations, and provides more precisely controlled braking and acceleration on surfaces where the friction is different on different sides of the vehicle. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter offers a full and varied model range for virtually all applications, far surpassing the more limited range offered by the competitors in its class. Three basic vehicles are available for sale in Canada: the cargo van, the passenger van and the cab chassis. The three body lengths, two heights and three basic gross vehicle weight ratings add up to 15 basic models of Sprinter vans to meet the unique requirements of a diverse range of customers who need a vehicle that will work as hard as they do. The Sprinter cargo van offers two wheelbase versions in 144 and 170 inches (3.7 and 4.3 m), and it is available in three lengths: standard, long and extra long, which are 232.5, 273.2 and 289.2 inches respectively (5.9 6.9 and 7.3 m). The cargo van is also available with two different roof heights. The load compartment height is 65 inches (1.65 m) for a Sprinter with the standard roof, and 76.4 inches (1.94 m) for the highroof version. Load space for the closed-body models range from 318 to 547 cu. ft. (9.0 to 15.5 m?). The Sprinter passenger wagon provides a robust solution to safely and comfortably transport up to 12 passengers. With two wheelbases, two body lengths and two cargo heights available, the passenger wagon offers numerous, customdesigned seating configurations for the spacious interior by offering the flexibility of a threeor four seat bench for the three rows of seats. —Carguide Magazine

Don’t just drive—Cruze Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR

CONTRIBUTED

CHEVROLET DESIGNED the 2011 Cruze to give buyers the feeling they are getting a lot of value for their money. One such area is passenger and cargo volume, with the trunk boasting 15.4 cu ft of cargo space.

The 2011 Cruze is crucial to Chevrolet. Compact cars are the largest segment in Canada, making up 22 per cent of the pie. In addition, the Chevrolet brand accounts for 60 per cent of all GM sales in this country. The Cruze is not new to the rest of the world. It is already sold in 130 countries. Interestingly, more than 60 per cent of all Chevrolet sales happen outside the U.S. After the Buick Regal, Cruze is the first of the new vehicles from GM in the post meltdown era. In readying the Cruze for Canadian consumption, studies showed fuel

economy to be the top reason for buying with safety is the second. Thirdly, Canadians want the features of a bigger car in a compact. In other words, they want to feel a car like the Cruze gives them more for their money than its direct competitors like Mazda3, Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic. In terms of safety, the Cruze is the first car I can think of that offers 10 airbags as standard. In addition, Stabilitrak (GM’s version of stability control), traction control and anti-lock brakes are all standard, and that’s on a car that starts at $14,995. As for fuel economy, the Cruze is available with two, inline four-

cylinder engines. The first is a 1.8-litre on the base LS ($14,995) and LS Plus ($16,750) producing 138 hp and 125 lb/ft of torque with either a standard six-speed manual or optional six-speed automatic transmission. With the automatic, fuel numbers are 9.2/5.6/7.6L/100 km (31/50/37 mpg) city/ highway/combined. With the manual, they are 7.8/5.4/6.8L/100 km (36/52/42 mpg) city/highway/combined. The other engine is a 1.4-litre turbo with the same 138 hp but a heftier 148 lb/ft of torque with the six-speed automatic, no manual offered. This gives 8.5/5.5/7.2L/100 km (33/51/39 mpg) city/highway/combined.

This engine powers the LT ($19,495), LT Turbo Plus ($20,870) and the LTZ Turbo ($24,780). While the base LT comes in at under 15 grand is it still pretty base with 16-inch steel wheels and no air conditioning. For air, you have to go up $1,755 to the LT Plus, which also gives you satellite radio for 12 months and an upgraded sound system. Chevrolet expects the volume model to be the LT Turbo. While it still has steel wheels, it does include items like cruise control and heated outside mirrors. There are also a bunch of options like a Pioneer sound system, sunroof, remote start and a connectivity package. The LT Turbo Plus gets all of that along with standard connectivity, 16inch alloy wheels and options like a navigation system. The LTZ Turbo is lavishly equipped for a car in this category with 17-inch alloy wheels, four disc brakes, climate control, heated leather seats, rear park audible alert and really nice two tone interior trim. If you get OnStar and have an iPhone, there are OnStar Mylink Mobile Apps that let you check things like tire pressure and how much fuel is left from your phone. You can even use it to remotely start the Cruze and lock or unlock the doors. See Cruze B7

Apps let you check your Cruze Cruze from B6 At the Canadian launch of the car in Toronto, GM Canada Chevrolet Cruze product manager, Paul Hewitt, said noise vibration and harness were an obsession with the engineers. The Cruze boasts 30 distinct acoustic areas dealt with like liquid sound deadener applied by robots to the underside and body sides of the car and triple sealing of the windshield. Handling was also an issue. I don’t think GM will disagree when I say their previous compacts where nowhere near similarly priced competitors like the Volkswagen Golf or Mazda3 when it came to ride and response. The front coil over MacPherson Strut suspension is designed to separate spring and shock loads for more precise handling. Similarly, the rear has a rtwist beam but adds a central tubular tuning element that sharpens side-to-side wheel control for better stability. GM had only Turbos

for the ride-and-drive portion of the press preview, with most of my time spent behind the wheel of the LTZ. My co-driver commented several times on the comfort and support of the leather seats. We both agreed the issue of damping noise intrusion was met with just a hint coming from the outside mirrors. But we were driving in crosswinds, which might have had something to do with it. The sensation coming though the steering wheel at the fingertips was solid with good “feel” despite the power steering being electric. Unlike the first generation of electric steer units that had a ratcheting feel, the unit on the Cruze was nice and firm, just how you want it to be. Later in a LT Turbo there was a sense of slightly more wind noise, but the ride and handling was the same. At one point, my co-driver did a full power stop from 80 km/h with a clean stop but with the ABS making a heck of a noise in protest. The trunk space is

As noted at the top, a lot is riding on the 2011 Cruze, but Chevrolet thinks they have managed to build the leader in the segment in terms of

looks, safety, space, and of course, fuel economy. If they are right, Chevrolet just might Cruze to the lead in Canadian compact sales.

What was Volkswagen thinking? It was two years ago, right around this time, when Volkswagen launched the full-size Routan minivan. Ford and General Motors had already vacated the segment with Mazda also on the way out and Nissan in a holding pattern. If Ford and GM didn’t see a future in minivans, why then did Volkswagen? VW Canada president and CEO, John White, said at that time, there was still, and remains today, a market for a vehicle that seats seven in comfort. With Ford and GM absent from the segment, that left 40,000 units a year up for grabs. Also, there are first-time minivan buyers who have been loyal VW owners but, until Routan came along, had to go elsewhere. White also said VW was also interested in attracting primarily Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna buyers. And there is the cachet of being only German maker in the minivan mix opening up a whole new market to plumb. And, of course, it fleshes out the showroom where Volkswagen has been having a pretty good time of it lately with the new Jetta flying out the doors and the Golf receiving just about every Canadian automotive accolade you can name. Volkswagen claims it invented the minivan with the Microbus in 1950 and even the first sliding panel door with the 1963 VW camper. And while VW has all kinds of mini- and

midi-sized vans and buses in Europe, you don’t just slap on a North American set of bumpers and sell it here. You also need to offer vehicles that conform to North Americans’ tastes and expectations. For instance, when it come to air conditioning, North Americans like a blast of cold air while Europeans prefer not to be chilled. And for things like that that you need a lot of expertise, which is why the Routan is being built in Windsor on the same line and using the same platform as the Chrysler Town & Country and the Dodge Grand Caravan. Also, partnering with Chrysler meant coming to market a lot sooner than trying to develop one inhouse, not to mention being much cheaper. And lastly, this is all good news for the economy in Windsor, a city that never seems to catch a break. Essentially, the Routan is the Chrysler with crisper styling with the nose drawing heavily from the Tiguan compact crossover. The seats were made firmer as well as the suspension, in other words, more like a Volkswagen. There are several minor changes, but what you see is what you get, which is essentially a Chrysler Town & Country which is not a bad thing. While the Americans get a choice of three engines, the Canadian Routan comes only with a Chrysler-sourced 4.0-litre, SOHC V6 putting out the same 251 hp and 259 lb/ ft of torque as the T&C. In front-drive (all-wheeldrive not available) power goes through a six-speed electronic automatic transmission with se-

MOTORING

VW Routan’s 4.0 litre V6 engine provides plenty of power VW from B9 windshield which is a major failing in many minivans of my experience, including the one I now own. The 4.0-litre has a lot of poke and the six speeds mesh so nicely that there is always the right amount of power for conditions. When it came time to merge onto the super highway amid double pup tankers and 53-footers all hurtling along at 130 km/h, I was thankful for the power of the engine to join in the fray. Canada will get four trim levels: the base Trendline starting at $28,075; the Comfortline starting at $34,375; the Highline (as tested) starting at $40,575 and the Execline starting at $50,575. Each model has a large number of standard and optional features that cover five printed pages in the brouchure. Probably the best way to get a deeper look is to go to www.vw.ca and build one for yourself. FYI, the model tested here included just two options, the 17-inch alloy wheels at $700 and the infotainment system at $2,425. Not including the $100 air conditioning tax and the $1,580 shipping tax, (which seems like a lot from Windsor to Toronto) the as-tested price

was $43,700. While this is classified as a ‘small’ minivan, it is anything but and will fill any standard-size garage. But when it comes to picking a seat, there won’t be any quibbling because there is room for all in the Routan. With all three rows of seats up, there is 930 litres of cargo space behind the third row. Total cargo area is an astounding four square meters. Fold the third row seat beneath the cargo floor and there is 2,400 litres. The third row, by the way, has three positions including tipping it over backwards to have a tailgate party seating. The second row seats either fold or can be taken out completely for even more cargo space. The Stow-n-Go feature in the Chrysler is not available on the Routan. Instead, the cavity below the floor where the Stown-Go seats would go are purely two extra large stowage bins. Standard features in the all-new 2010 Routan include three-zone climate control, CD player with six speakers, dual sliding side doors, front and side curtain airbags, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP). My time with the

THE THIRD ROW SEAT folds below the cargo floor for unrestricted loading. Cargo volume behind the second row seats is 2.4 sq m with the third row seats folded or a full 4.0 sq m with all seats folded and/or removed.

ALTHOUGH THE VW ROUTAN is largely based on

the Chrysler Town @ Country minivan, there are a number of detail changes such as the VW logo built into the main headlight reflector. Routan came at one of those watersheds in life with my son moving off to

college residence. It was not a move to be taken lightly with clothes,

computer, printer, George Forman Grille, cereal, milk, cheese, coats, and that all makes up to a sizeable amount of ‘stuff’ to transport. During the move, I kept thinking about what VW Canada president John White had said about certain times when seven-seat utility could not be beat. I later learned that at the same time I was moving my son, White was using a Routan to move his daughter into university residence.

At the same time I note Honda is bringing its next generation Odyssey to market and Nissan is about to re-bow with the full-size Quest minivan. So while the pundits say the minivan is dead, from what I saw on college move-in day with my son, at least a third of the vehicles were vans. So when I asked at the top, what must Volkswagen have been thinking with the Routan; it looks to me like they were thinking ahead.

Driving tips to keep children safe this Halloween KATE WELLS Halloween is one of the most exciting times for kids (and parents too!) as they set out on the busy night roads in search of candy. But most children are unaware of potential dangers on our roads and rely on us to keep them safe. Every year children are hurt and sometimes killed by other road users on Halloween night. BC driving educators at DriveWise offer the following tips for keeping our children safe this year.

1. Keep your car home if you can. Walk instead of drive. There are generally many people on our roads and kids are very excited and can move quickly across roads, putting them in danger without even realizing it. 2. Be especially careful between the hours of 4 and 8p.m. when children are heading home, excited and ready to go. 3. Always do a pre-trip of your car, which means looking around your vehicle BEFORE driving. Make sure your headlights are

working and clear from dirt. Make sure you can see clearly through your windshield and all windows in your car to ensure optimum visibility. 4. If you have kids out trickor-treating, make sure you set a good example by insisting they watch for traffic. Use the sidewalks whenever possible and wear a clearly lit costume or carry flashlights to make you visible to vehicle traffic. 5. Of course, reduce your speed. Travel below the posted speed limit when children are on the road.

Cover your horn and brake in case you need to warn pedestrians. 6. Eliminate ALL distractions. Texting, talking on a cell phone and drinking coffee are only a few of the many distractions that contribute to pedestrian fatalities. You shouldn’t drive when distracted at anytime. The only way we can ensure this Halloween is a happy occasion for everyone is for all road users to do their part in keeping the roads and children safe. Happy Halloween.

Toyota Scion comes to Canada Rob Beintema CONTRIBUTOR

On September 28, Scion launched across Canada, starting sales of Toyota’s youth-oriented brand across an initial network of 45 dealers in the major urban hubs of Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. Automotive journalists got a preview of the vehicles at the brand launch in Vancouver but Canadians might already be vaguely aware of Scion, probably spotting distinctively styled models that were purchased south of the border by diehard Scion fans. Since Scion’s 2002 launch in the U.S., sales there have swelled to a total volume of 800,000 with an enviable conquest rate of 70 percent of owners being new to the brand. Scion also serves as a

feeder brand to the Toyota and Lexus lineups as customers mature. Which explains Toyota Canada’s interest in bringing the marque north. Although our “Echoboomer” and “Generation Y” demographic bumps are apparently peaking later than in the U.S., the ranks of under-35 customers here are slated to swell to 40 per cent of all auto sales by 2020. “The world is changing and brands that don’t change with it will be left behind,” Stephen Beatty, Managing Director for Toyota Canada told me. Scion is responding to this new and demanding audience with a threemodel selection—the xD, xB and tC. Those three sets of initials might seem confusing at first, but I developed a few mental tricks to separate the three models.

Think of the xD as “extra doors”, a sub-compact five-door hatchback that combines versatility with nimble handling. The xB, “extra boxy, extra big”, is also a fivedoor hatchback but it is a larger compact urban utility vehicle, squarely styled with the shape that has become the iconic trademark of the brand. And picture the tC as “the coupe”, a driver-oriented sporty car that adds extra levels of performance and equipment. All three vehicles are “monospec” models. “The only choices are transmission and colour,” Beatty added. “And I can tell you that beige ain’t one of them.” But all three models come already-equipped with a superior slate of standard equipment including air conditioning, sport seats, keyless entry, tilt steering and cruise,

power windows/locks/ mirrors, 60/40 split folding rear seats and premium Pioneer AM/FM/ CP six- or eight-speaker audio systems with MP3/ iPod outlets. And, with those wellloaded vehicles as a starting point, purchasers can personalize their rides from an on-line selection of more than 75 parts and accessories, including Toyota Racing Development (TRD) performance gear that, unlike aftermarket additions, will be covered under the car warranty. Designed specifically for that youth market, all three models share common styling elements, a familial face that starts with thin, angular headlamps leading into a horizontally-slatted grille above a big lower air dam, the front end look brackSee Scion B15

“If you’re looking for a real bang for your buck, the SX4 ﬁts the bill. ”

2010 SX4 SEDAN OR HATCHBACK FWD CONTRIBUTED

THE SMALLEST and most affordable model in the

Scion lineup, the 2011 xD is a five-door sub-compact hatchback, based on theYaris platform with an inclusive list of equipment and a starting price of $17,200.

Scion buyers will move up to Lexus Scion from A12 eted by turn signals in the side view mirrors. But there are differences, so let’s touch on each model briefly, following the same order, from smallest to largest, cheapest to most expensive. Scion xD 2011: The xD five-door sub-compact hatchback, smallest in the lineup (for now), is based on the Yaris platform, powered by a 128 hp 1.8-litre fourcylinder with a five-speed manual or optional fourspeed automatic. Fuel economy is rated a thrifty 7.4/5.9/6.7L/100km (city/ hwy/comb)(5MT). The xD features few neat utility tricks to complement its nimble and sporty style—dual dash storage compartments, versatile fold-flat rear seats and an acceptable cargo capacity of 310 litres (10.9 cu.ft.). Scion’s brochure pictures aftermarket conversions that could pimp this econo grocery-getter into anything from a streetwise custom machine to fully equipped rally racer style. The 2011 Scion xD starts at $17,200. Scion xB 2011:

But when you’re talking customization, the real blank canvas in the company lineup is the funky xB with a squared-off style that Scion categorizes as “the original, not the copy”. The xB compact urban utility vehicle was recently revised and is based on the Toyota Matrix platform, powered by a 158 hp 2.4-litre fourcylinder with, again, the choice of either the fivespeed manual or optional four-speed automatic tranny. Fuel economy is rated at 9.5/7.2/8.4L/100km (city/hwy/comb)(5MT). The boxy body and bulbous fender lines are instantly recognizable and the layout and dimension translate into maximum headroom and interior space for a compact vehicle. The gauge package is centrally located (a la Yaris) and interior styling in clean and ergonomic with a dash storage shelf above the glove box. The 2011 Scion xB starts at $18,270. Scion tC 2011: At first glance the tC sport coupe, with its traditional car-shaped archiSee Scion B16

tecture, seems the least original entry in the lineup. But when you think about it, Toyota hasn’t had a coupe in their lineup since the Celica was dropped in 2005. And those last Celicas, with power ratings comparable to the tC, listed with a price tag that was up to $10K higher. In fact, value for

money should be the main theme here with (compared to the other Scion models) eight airbags instead of six, eight-speaker audio instead of six speakers, 18-inch alloys instead of 16-inch steel wheels, flat-bottomed sport steering wheel and an included panoramic moonroof, the kind of thing you’d normally only find on a fullyloaded Lexus ES350. With a critical eye you can find some of the Scion savings that keep this car affordable with no auto headlamps, no auto cli-

mate, no engine cover (which won’t bother customizers at all) and slightly cheaper interior plastics. But I wouldn’t consider it ‘decontenting’ and the overall package remains spirited in performance and panache, a bargain for driving enthusiasts. The 2011 Scion tC, an all-new second generation model, is based on the Venza platform, and powered by a 180 hp 2.5-litre four cylinder with a sixspeed manual or optional

six-speed automatic. Fuel economy is rated at 9.2/6.4/8.0L/100km (city/hwy/comb)(6MT). The 2011 Scion tC starts at $20,850. As if that isn’t an impressive enough debut for a brand that is brand new to Canada, in the spring of 2011, Scion will be adding the diminutive 2012 IQ to the lineup. The IQ, with minimal overhangs, a flat fuel tank, slim seats and other spacesaving innovations, is a startlingly roomy microsubcompact urban run-

about that could possibly outsmart the smart car when it comes to maximum interior space in a small package. We’ll look at each of these models more closely in future, but the launch of the Scion lineup in Canada should prove an enticing lure for an emerging demographic of new drivers searching for a lifestyle and driving statement that they can make their own.

THOMAS CHARLES STRETCH May 28,1932 - October 14,2003 “If Roses Grow In Heaven” If roses grow in heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me.

Because remembering him is easy, I do it everyday. Yet there is an ache within my heart That will never go away. Lovingly Remembered “Your Glady” & Family
