Arena cost overruns offer expensive lessons Jason Luciw STAFF REPORTER

A tripling in the cost of construction of West Kelowna’s newest arena will lead to a more cautious approach for building public facilities in the future. At West Kelowna council’s request, chief financial officer Jim Zaffino conducted a review into Royal LePage Place’s cost overruns and drafted new policies for future projects to avoid making similar mistakes. From the time taxpayers voted in favour of arena construction in a December 2003 referendum, to the time the arena opened in August 2007, multiple factors contributed to the ballooning budget, Zaffino told council this week. Construction delays, defaults by contractors, adverse weather conditions and a volatile construction market were among the issues, explained Zaffino. “As well, the scope of the project changed both dramatically and frequently from inception through completion,” Zaffino stated. West Kelowna residents approved borrowing $3.3 million towards construction of a 525-seat multiplex at the Mount Boucherie Community Complex but, over the course of the following four years, the project became a 1,500-seat facility. “With an original budget in June 2003 of $5,112,000 and the last budget presented on October 10, 2007 for $12,774,237,” Zaffino noted, “the scope of the project changed from a ‘participant’ to a ‘spectator’ arena.” Since then, additional amenities were added to the building, bringing the total cost to an estimated $15 million. Zaffino recommended that no fundamental change should occur in the scope of a future municipal project without public consent. Council adopted that recommendation as policy Tuesday afternoon. Meanwhile, regional district administrator Harold See Arena A7

Culinary competitors drawn to Okanagan Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna’s reputation as an “amazing food and wine city” has led to our city being chosen as the Canadian Culinary Championships venue for the next five years. National culinary advisor

James Chatto said the Okanagan is becoming renowned for its food and wine. As well, it is very central for competitors to access, with direct flights even from Toronto, so it was a natural to host the annual Gold Medal Plates, he added. The event is a fundraiser for the Canadian Olympic Foun-

dation, and Olympic triathlete Simon Whitfield, a gold and silver medalist, was in Kelowna Thursday for the announcement. The foundation supports the hiring of world-class coaches and the purchase of top training equipment for high-performance athletes across the country to help them prepare for the Olympics.

Whitfield said he ran his first race here in Kelowna, so it was nice to be back for a visit. Aside from the economic spin-offs of holding such a popular and prestigious event here, Chatto said Okanagan College students in the chef program will See Culinary A10

Fatal stabbing came on heels of domestic spat Kathy Michaels CONTRIBUTOR

For hours after Tiffany Fedechko stopped breathing, her boyfriend James Feil attempted to resuscitate her using newly acquired CPR skills, he claimed in a videotaped statement replayed Wednesday in his second degree murder trial. When that failed, and her body turned cold, Feil, 39, spent another day by the 23-year-old’s side, dressing her in his trackpants and tank top and possibly laundering the soiled outfit she wore on their date the night before. Then he left to drive around, pick up some vodka and speak to friends about what happened. Three days after the fight, he turned himself in to police. Jurors listened to Feil tell Cpl. Scott Aschenbrenner on videotape about the fateful night of Oct. 26, 2008. “I just want to tell it how it is,” said Feil at the start of the interview. “Like I said, this should not have happened.” From there he recounted how the two had spent a Saturday night together, attending a Kelowna Rockets game, then a

couple of local bars before their date unravelled. “She wanted to go to The Corral and I said, ‘No, let’s just go to my place and have a couple of drinks,’” he recalled. “Then she started accusing me of not wanting to take her places…that I was cheating with someone at the Corral.” He claimed he had just put a wedding ring on her finger the week before, and cheating was far from his mind, but the argument continued once they reached Feil’s house. “She was PMSing, and she’s pretty crazy at that time,” he said, adding that she’d never been violent until that night. Fedechko tried to leave Feil’s room, and he said he told her she was too drunk to drive and barred her passage. “She grabbed a knife and started swinging,” he said, citing cuts on both his neck and wrists from the altercation. “I tossed her on the bed, jumped on top of her (with his knee on her neck) and punched her in the head a few times. I just lost it—I punched her too hard, I shouldn’t have punched her at all. Then I tossed the knife and went to the bathroom.”

Feil said he then took five minutes to wash his wounds and when he came back to lie with Fedechko, holding her and saying, “I’m sorry baby, I’m sorry,” he realized she wasn’t breathing. At that point he started to administer CPR. Fedechko was 5-foot-6 or 5-foot7— the same height as Feil —but weighed about 120 pounds compared to his 160 pounds. She was a “tiny thing” he said, adding he could have tried to find a less deadly way to remove the knife from her hands. Aschenbrenner left the room when the statement was completed. In that time, Feil appeared deflated, leaning into his hands saying, “Little girl, I miss you so much…I don’t know how that happened. Oh God.” Upon his return, Aschenbrenner told Feil he and other investigators questioned why Fedechko would turn violent out of the blue. “Couples argue all the time,” he said. “Her picking up a knife does not make sense.” Feil countered that he agreed, but that’s what happened. The trial continues.

POLICE PURSUIT…Kelowna RCMP arrested two men at the corner of Leckie Road and Enter-

prise Way Thursday after the pair tried to elude police on foot after fleeing from their vehicle. The driver was arrested for dangerous driving, prohibited driving and flight from police, while the passenger was arrested for an outstanding warrant. The RCMP say both men were known to police.

Two bodies found in local lakes positively identified by coroner Kathy Michaels CONTRIBUTOR

The body pulled out of Okanagan Lake has been identified as Catherine Hayley Wright, 31. While the regional cor-

oner’s office ruled out foul play, RCMP had been on the watch for the woman since Feb. 10 when her family reported her missing, said Const. Steve Holmes. “She had told family

members back in November that she was leaving to go to Vancouver,” said Holmes, adding that she had been living for awhile in Kelowna. “They were concerned because they hadn’t

heard from her in several months.” About two weeks ago, workers replacing marina decking at the foot of Queensway Avenue discovered the body floating under the dock.

An autopsy completed last week established that the body had been submerged for quite some time. Earlier this week the coroner’s service also identified the body found

by two fishermen on McCulloch Lake as missing kayaker Eric Thomas, 53. Thomas went missing mid-May, and Mounties launched an extensive search—both aerial and underwater—in the days

that followed. Turbid water cut the underwater search short and friends and family were left wondering what had happened, until he was found by fishermen. reporter@kelownacapnews.com

Where there is a positive experience with our earthly fathers, it has a great influence on our image of God and our relationship with Him.

Their finished products contained some interesting theology. One depicted God in the form of a brightly coloured rainbow. Another presented him as an old man coming out of the clouds. One little boy drew God with a remarkable resemblance to Superman. The best snapshot however came from a little girl. She said, “I did not know what God looked like, so I just drew a picture of my Daddy.” How wonderful it would be if every little girl and boy could see God in his or her father. Unfortunately that does not always happen. Sometimes the image of a bad father spills over into one’s understanding of God. A father is the first authority image in a child’s life. Children base their perception of God in what they observe in their earthly father. As a very wise grandmother used to say: “Any one can have a child, but it takes a special man to be a father.” Being a father is much more than performing a biological function. It is about loving and caring, guiding, sharing and listening. A father is strong and reliable, but he is also tender, loving and understanding. A father is a good provider, as long as he is capable. He is willing to labour hard to provide shelter for his family and food on the table. A father recognizes the importance of making time for those he loves. Little league baseball, dance recitals and concerts seem to be his favourite past times.

(Grandfathers, too.) A father is not judged by how much he earns or by how much material goods he provides, but what matters most to his children is how well he is being a father. One of the finest role models is found in Luke 15 in the New Testament. A man once had two sons. The younger one said to his father, “Father, I want everything that is coming to me, now.” It wasn’t long until he packed his bags and left for a distant country. There, undisciplined and dissipated, he wasted everything. Finally, he came to his senses and made a decision to go back to his father. When his father saw him in the distance, the father did not just walk, but rather he ran to welcome him home and embraced him. The father did not give him a long lecture about the length of his hair, the scars on his face or his body odor. The father simply embraced him and called for a party. is known as unconditional love. As fathers, let us learn from this father and let him be our role model. We fathers need a word of encouragement. Fathering in not always easy. To all fathers I say, “Let us do our best and leave the rest to God. The world needs us.” To all my fellow fathers and grandfathers, may God bless us and strengthen us and be grateful for Father’s Day. A blessed Father’s Day to all. Rev. Albert Baldeo is a retired United Church minister.

You don’t need pesticides to grow a healthy lawn. In fact, a healthy natural lawn is more resistant to pests, drought and other conditions. Kelowna’s pesticide bylaw regulates the use of pesticides for non-essential purposes.

A lesson to those who alter natural watercourses I ’ve written a lot about water in the past few decades. I’ve written about its quality and what should be done to improve it and I’ve written about quantity and what ought to be done to conserve water in this dry valley. But, I haven’t written much about its power. Water is a very powerful force. In the past, man has learned to harness that power and force it to generate electrical power to run man’s favourite machines, whether telephones, lights and ovens or televisions, radios and food processors. We plug in our cars to keep the engines from freezing up in winter and we plug in our hair dryers so our locks look nice for the office or the opera. But in the process, we also do what little kids have done for generations, whenever a muddy situation presented itself in the yard: we create rivers, dam them and create lakes, break the dams and re-create rivers. And, that’s essentially what happened in Oliver last Sunday afternoon. Man built a dam across a creek and a lake was created. Mother Nature filled that lake until it overflowed, the dam was breached and five homes headed downhill to Highway 97 on a flood of muddy debris that cas-

But, it’s a reminder to humans to be wary when playing with the natural course of waterways. It will be decades before that land can be returned to the productivity of last week, before the mature vineyards and orchards were inundated with tonnes of muddy clay. And, in some instances, the personal possessions of those who lost their homes will probably never resurface or will never be the same again. It was a tragic and frightening event, and one that I hope all those who build dams on creeks or who divert creeks will keep in mind. ••• People have a nasty habit of playing with mud and water, to the detriment not only of themselves, but also the inhabitants of such habitats.

It’s good to see the justice system is willing to take offences against the environment seriously and to send a message out to others who are destroying wetlands, ponds and riparian areas with their vehicles that it will not be tolerated. Like McCulloch Lake

they’re doing—much less to the fact that it’s illegal to do so without a permit from the environment ministry. So, it was satisfying this week to see a Justice in Penticton not only hold up the relatively new legislation prohibiting mud bogging when a young offender was ticketed at Agur Lake near Summerland last summer, but also add to it with a threemonth driving prohibition. That young driver contested his $575 tick-

WEST KELOWNA

Changes in Royal LePage Place building plan were numerous Arena from A1 Reay said he fully agreed with the recommendation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact, we as staff put a recommendation to board back then to go back to referendum or reduce the scope of the project and they chose not to.â&#x20AC;? Reay recalled the board opted to proceed with the larger project based on feedback from its three Westside directors at the time, Len Novakowki, Aaron Dinwoodie and present Coun. David Knowles. Reay noted many changes to the project were based on feedback from the Mount Boucherie Expansion Society. The Westside directors of the day told the board that there was community support for the expansion to 1,500 seats, which would accommodate a BCHL junior hockey franchise. Knowles told council this week that he accepted some of the responsibility for the budget overruns, being one of the regional district directors of the day. However, Zaffino also told council this

week, that while input from community groups is important, direct input should not be sought on a buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size and scope once construction is underway. Zaffino found that change in scope led to 35 major change orders totaling $765,763, as well as more than 900 smaller change orders. Coun. Gord Milsom said 1,000 change orders is unheard of in a construction project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clearly there was a lack of discipline and monitoring from progress to completion of the project. With the right checks and balances in place the mistakes and overruns can be avoided,â&#x20AC;? Milsom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there when this project was undertaken by the regional district, our taxpayers are paying for it and will be paying for it for a while.â&#x20AC;? However, Reay said regional district staff kept the board well aware of the status of the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were informed of where the budget was going all along and gave approval for the cost overruns. They were also

made aware of the number of change orders involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only other comment I have is what I have said all along, and that is, what was taken to referendum and what was built were two different facilities. The board made the decision to make those changes following the direction of the (Westside) directors. It was their reading that this facility was what the community wanted.â&#x20AC;? Mayor Doug Findlater said that Zaffinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s review should serve as a case study for future governments, including the regional board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hard questions werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t asked. I hate to compare, but I think we do ask hard questions at this council. When we ask those questions at the regional board we still get our knuckles wrapped for sometimes asking too many questions and taking up staff time,â&#x20AC;? said Findlater, who sits as one of two West Kelowna directors on the regional board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really distressing that this is, in fact, the culture at that board table.â&#x20AC;?

Findlater said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still waiting for the regional board to order an independent review of the Royal LePage project.

The regional district said it has not conducted the review because of an outstanding civil legal case involving an arena

Westbank First Nation provide art and culture exhibit A display showcasing Westbank First Nation arts and culture was unveiled at Kelowna International Airport Wednesday by Chief Robert Louie and Kelowna Mayor Sharon Shepherd. The unveiling ceremony was attended by members of the Westbank First Nation Council and staff, the Airport Advisory Committee and airport staff. The display cabinet in the U.S. departures room at Kelowna International Airport celebrates the Westbank First Nation and those who are members of the Okanagan Syilx people. “This display of Westbank First Nation history, art and culture for passengers to enjoy at Kelowna In-

ternational Airport is an excellent opportunity to showcase an important part of the Okanagan history,” said airport advisory chair Mayor Sharon Shepherd. “The Okanagan territory extends south into Washington state so having this case in the U.S. departures room is very appropriate.” “The art pieces and historical information in the display case will be changed every six months,” explained airport director Sam Samaddar. “This partnership with WFN is a continuation of our collaboration in promoting the Okanagan and the future growth of the airport.” “WFN is most appreciative for the opportunity to showcase our

culture at the airport so that others can learn about who we were, who we are and who we hope to be,” added Louie. “We believe that collaborative efforts that include aboriginal voice and worldview add greatly to the historical record of Kelowna and the Okanagan. “This particular venture with the airport is ground-breaking and could set a new benchmark for collaboration.” In addition to the newly installed WFN wall display, Kelowna International Airport has partnerships with Kelowna Museum and the Kelowna Art Gallery, both displaying Okanagan history and art in various areas of the terminal.

Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rental rates seeing a downward trend Kathy Michaels CONTRIBUTOR

Finding a rental apartment in Kelowna is no longer a costly competition sport. Speculators and overambitious developers helped this city achieve a 3.7 per cent vacancy rate, according to the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more supply,â&#x20AC;? said market analyst Paul Fabri, noting the rate hovered over a painful zero per cent in recent years, and 2.9 per cent last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a large number of condos completed in the last 18 months and that investorowned inventory is offering competition to purpose built rentals.â&#x20AC;? Flipping through the classified ads will yield numerous listings for units that were once marketed as high-end condos. Before being snapped up by renters, many of those sat on the market finished, unused and empty for months. Currently, there are still 400 condos in Kelowna that have yet to be matched with an owner or renter. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contributed to better times for renters. Many previous renters who had been blocked from home ownership, took advantage of low interest rates and dropping listing prices to become owners. Several government subsidized rental buildings have been constructed to meet the needs of the community, while private sector rental units are also returning to the city after a lengthy hiatus. A 48-unit building on Harvey and Ethel, in addition to another 30 unitbuilding on Dilworth should ramp up the supply a bit, while more are on the books. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main reason we are starting to see rental construction occur, despite rents having levelled off, is that we did see big uptick in rents over the

last five to six years. Also construction costs came down as demand for new housing softened in 2009 and that meant rental construction became more vi-

able.â&#x20AC;? The sudden surge of rentable real estate has also put downward pressure on prices. The cost of an aver-

age two-bedroom rental dropped to about $896 this year, as opposed to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $935 which, although cheaper than years past, is still pricier than

most B.C. cities. All this movement isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unique to Kelowna. The spring rental market report shows B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rental vacancy rate was

3.1 per cent in April 2010 compared with 2.3 per cent in April 2009. There were 5,165 vacant units this past April out of 165,095 rental units

in B.C. The average rent for an apartment in B.C. fell to $897 in April 2010 from $899 in April 2009. reporter@kelownacapnews.com

▼ WEST NILE VIRUS

Taking precautions against mosquito bites this summer West Nile virus arrived in B.C. in 2009, so Interior Health is reminding residents to take extra precautions against mosquito bites this summer. In 2009, there were two residents of the Interior who contracted West Nile virus in the south Okanagan. Several mosquito traps confirmed the presence of the virus in the South Okanagan. Three horses from the Okanagan and south

Fraser Valley were also found with the disease. A third resident of the Interior contracted the disease while travelling outside the province. Each of the other Western Canadian provinces reported similar numbers of cases in 2009. The northwestern United States reported a combined count of 93 human cases in Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. Interior Health is con-

tinuing to collect mosquitoes for testing to detect the virus through the 2010 summer season. IH reminds residents that establishing a routine at home to reduce mosquito bites will help protect them while travelling outside of B.C. this summer. West Nile virus infection is a disease that primarily resides in birds, and can be spread from birds to humans by infected mosquitoes.

About 20 per cent of infected people may experience mild to severe flu-like symptoms, and a small number of people (less than one per cent of those infected) may develop a serious neurological disease. The best protection against West Nile Virus is to avoid mosquito bites, and reduce mosquito breeding areas. Here are some things you can do to protect yourself from West Nile virus:

shop 450

• Use mosquito repellent. Apply mosquito repellent to areas of exposed skin. Check the product label for instructions on proper use. Repellents containing DEET are safe if the label precautions are followed. DEET-free products are available, but may not provide as longlasting protection. View the HealthFile on DEET (link below) for guidelines on how frequently you should apply repellent, as recommendations change depending on age. • Wear protective clothing. Avoid dark clothing, as it tends to attract mosquitoes. If you are in an area with lots of mosquitoes, wear loose fitting, full-length pants and a long-sleeved shirt to keep mosquitoes from biting. Mosquitoes that can carry WNv are most ac-

tive at dusk and at dawn. Avoid using floral fragrances such as perfumes, soaps, hair care products, and lotions. • Install mosquito screens on windows. Consider staying indoors between dusk and dawn and in the early evening. • Prevent mosquito breeding around your home. Anything that can hold water is a likely mosquito breeding area. Try to identify and remove these areas on your property. A few things to do include: empty saucers under flowerpots; change water in bird baths twice a week; unclog rain gutters; drain tarps, tires and other debris where rain water may collect; and install a pump in ornamental ponds or stock them with fish. Stagnant backyard pools can be a big

source of mosquitoes and should be maintained regularly to prevent mosquito growth. The B.C. Centre for Disease Control conducts a surveillance program for West Nile virus which includes testing of dead birds in the corvid family—crows, ravens, magpies and jays. These birds are more likely than others to die from West Nile virus. It also includes trapping and testing of mosquitoes from numerous sites in the province. Interior Health traps mosquitoes at 24 sites across the Southern Interior and sends them to the provincial lab for testing. The public will be notified when the first positive mosquito, bird or human case are found in the province this year.

Tone down the downtown Kelowna debate for awhile S WORDSMITH

Jennifer Smith derway this year for the main drag, and it should breath a little more life into Bernard Avenue. Bernard is, admittedly, looking somewhat worse for all its wear and tear; but so are many of the features of fairly popular tourist stops around this province, so it really isn’t that bad. Still, here we are again all still wringing our hands and wondering whatever will become of the downtown now that our latest comprehensive development plan is dead. Oh the addicts, the dull street-fronts of Leon Avenue. The shame. The despair. Well frankly, whether this CD-21 plan has crashed or not, I really don’t think anyone needs to sit down and try and sort out where we go from here—at least not right now. It just breeds more upset and malcontent. Let sleeping dogs lie, I say. In fact, some sleeping dogs could be amusing. You know, like in Greece or Mexico. Who knows, maybe we could use a few more people sleeping in tents? I’m kidding, of course; although, after living here for a few years, I’ve learned if there’s one thing you have to do in Kelowna it’s s-p-e-l-l that out for people. For as fun-in-the-sun as our reputation may be, we really don’t seem to have much of a sunny disposition. In fact, if there’s one thing this place could do to change some of its downtrodden downtown demeanor, it would

o it looks like Kelowna is headed for another rehash on the future of the downtown core. This is kind of a funny topic if you ask me. Six years ago when I arrived here they were talking about the future of the downtown core and had apparently been doing so for several decades. The skyline has changed significantly since then, yet here we are again, heading back to the future for more discussion on what is to become of our devilishly disastrous downtown. Sure makes one wonder what the good old Back to the Future star, Michael J. Fox, would say about the woe-is-me ’tude we’ve all adopted. I’m pretty sure if he could have a few decades back, despite his positive demeanor, the Burnaby native would jump at the chance to roll back the clock and spend a few more years without his ALS. This city, by admittedly rather strange comparison, is really doing quite well; in fact, it’s hardly suffering at all at the hands of Father Time. We have a pretty decent live music scene cropping up and several new downtown highrises in which to live. There’s some interesting new restaurants for those who actually do get out and about and a collection of community gardens one dares to say would be the envy of any greeny’s eye. Kelowna already has a fairly nice waterfront hotel and a half decent art gallery. And our avantgarde contemporary gallery is always good for a few smiles—free smiles incidentally, which is pretty darn cool at that. On the “time for a change” front, there’s a beautification project un-

eral “goings on” in the entire city centre. Those brainstorming sessions (held this winter and spring) were full of simple ideas—more bike lanes, better walkways, a common way of putting business signs up. Some have suggested putting Lawrence and Leon back to two lanes to attract more eyes on the street and then there is the always controversial suggestion of adding more public art. Now that’s something to fight about. You want to see the fur fly? Try telling

the arts community you want sculptures that “look like something” or a vote on what should be considered art. This is the kind of public consultation/discussion that makes sense, if you ask me. You want interest and culture? Try talking about something interesting for once. Creating culture should mean building in some cultural discourse, not providing another open forum for wannabe artists to sit around and whine about how there’s nothing good going on to

talk about. Instead, Kelowna city council will be back to the woe-is-me dialogue by months end, pulling out dry reports on city plans and listening to a bunch of angry citizens lamenting the strip-mall fate of their neighbourhoods. No doubt before the end of the year we’ll be subjected to another fascinating discussion on whether Kelowna has any cultural identity and how on earth we would establish one. Meanwhile, the artists and the innovators and the

people who might be even slightly interesting to talk about will all proceed to build more and more life into, up and around the naysayers and the landscape will move on. I say we forget about it for awhile. Leave the sour faces to the street hounds and just live a little and see what happens downtown. And in the meantime, lets rescind those anti-graffiti laws? I know. I know. No sense of humour, I tell you. Here we go again on this merrygo-round. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Study connects dental hygiene to cardiovascular disease I n my weekly review of the medical literature, I found a very interesting article published in the British Medical Journal. On May 28, Dr. Cesar de Olivieria, an epidemiologist, and Dr. Richard Watt, a professor in dental public health, published a paper that we should all pay close attention to. This came out of the University College of

ASK DR.THIEL

Markus Thiel London, England. In the study, they determined the behavioural association with cardiovascular disease and the

presence of whole body inflammation as a function of dental hygiene. The study involved almost 12,000 participants. In simple terms, brushing your teeth fewer than two times a day could increase cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease by as much as 74 per cent. It was noted that lack of proper tooth brushing is associated with an in-

crease in circulating substances contributing to inflammation and increased coagulation of the blood. Dr. Persson et al. were the first to discuss the association of cardiovascular disease and peridontitis. Their findings were published in the Journal of Clinical periodontal. Since then there has been much interest in this subject. It is assumed that in-

flammation plays a key part in the formation of atherosclerosis and further cardiovascular diseases. Poor oral hygiene is the major cause of peridontitis and chronic infection of the tissue surrounding the teeth, resulting in a moderate systemic inflammatory response. The examiner’s stated that proper oral hygiene

consists of regular dental visits every six months and brushing teeth a minimum of two times per day. Anything less may place you at risk. This is the first study to show a direct association between a single item: Tooth brushing and the incidence of cardiovascular disease in a sample of this size, an important note to consider. In fact, Dr. DeStefano published a paper in the British Medical Journal in 1993 that stated that people with only minimal periodontal disease had a 25 per cent increased risk of coronary heart disease. This is yet another example of how inflammation in our body can lead to pathological situations. It is my belief that virtually all disease processes start with inflammation. We are at a disadvantage here in North America, as we are considered a pro-inflammatory population as a result of our diet and lifestyles. A diet rich in carbohydrates, starches and sugar make us all far more sus-

ceptible to inflammation. One of the best supplements on the market to reduce global inflammation in your body is that of a proper Omega-3 essential fatty acid. It is a global anti-inflammatory. It is stated in the literature that men should not be taking plant-based Omega-3 essential fatty acids, in an attempt to reduce inflammation, as this can increase your incidence of active prostate cancer. The anti-inflammatory component of Omega-3 essential fat acids lies in the ratio of two of its components; EPA:DHA. The name is not important, what is significant is that the proper ratio comes from Omega-3 essential fatty acids that are derived from wild fish. My best advice is to brush your teeth regularly, see your dentist and don’t forget to take your Omega-3 essential fatty acids. Once again, prevention is the cure.

Job skill shortages predicted I ’ve had a glimpse of the future and it’s not pretty. Unless B.C. is capable of attracting workers to the province, by the time I retire everything will be self serve—there just won’t be enough workers around to meet the needs of society. This bleak outlook is coming out of the B.C. Labour Market Outlook report published last week by the B.C. government. The report looks at the next 10 years of labour growth, where employment is expected, what areas of the province will have the highest job growth, and what occupations are expected to grow the most. Labour market projections are separated by region providing some interesting data for the Thompson Okanagan. For example, the regions expected to have the greatest number of job openings are the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and the ThompsonOkanagan. Yet between now and 2020, the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island are expected to experience tight labour markets (demand is greater than supply) around 2016, while this isn’t going to happen in the Thompson Okanagan until 2019. Workers entering the labour market come from two sources. The first is new entrants. These are mostly young adults leaving the education system and moving into the labour market for the first time. The second source is migrants who are primarily workers who come from other parts of Canada or through immigration. Some areas in B.C. will have more workers enter the labour force from the education sector, others from migration. The Thompson Okanagan is expected to rely more heavily on migrants as a source of labour supply, especially from 2015 to 2020. And finally, the three occupations with the highest growth rates in the Thompson Okanagan are all in the health care sector. These are nurse supervisors and registered nurses; physicians, dentists and veterinarians; optometrists, chiropractors and others. This contrasts with other areas in B.C., where health care professions aren’t even on the list. The Lower Mainland’s three growth occupations are mason-

SCHOOL’S IN

Jane Muskens ry and plastering trades, other construction trades, and trades helpers and labourers. The Kootenays include occupations in food and beverage service, kitchen helpers, travel and accommodation. What is really dire about these labour market

projections is that when I plan to retire, somewhere around 2019, there will be many professions where the labour market is so tight that shortages are expected. Of the 133 occupations listed in the report, between 2015 and 2020 most of these will begin to experience a shortage of workers. On top of all of this, 70 per cent (in some reports I’ve seen this percentage as high as 81 per cent) of these occupations require a post-secondary education. What government, citizens, employers and

post-secondary institutions need to be thinking about is the investment required to meet the educational needs of the labour market. So I guess, in retirement, I can expect more do-it-yourself and less free time. It’s time to stock up on those Plumbing for Dummies and Accounting for Dummies books and just about every other title they have.

School attacks in China highlight lack of mental health care

ver the past couple of months there have been several attacks on school children in China and these have sparked some discussion of that country’s mental health care system. Five assaults have left 17 dead and more than 50 wounded in the last two months. All of the at-

HEALING MINDS

Paul Latimer tackers were men in their 30s or 40s who entered schools and targeted chil-

dren and their teachers, using knives or hammers as weapons. According to an article in the Associated Press, at least three of the attackers were known to have mental health issues. Although it is uncertain what caused these men to attack vulnerable schoolchildren, some are speculating it is the re-

sult of inadequate mental health care in that country. There is also some evidence of a copycat element in the attacks (which is a phenomenon I will discuss in a future column). Current statistics say there are roughly 173 million Chinese people with some sort of mental illness and that the vast ma-

jority have never received any kind of professional help. A study in the British journal Lancet says mental illness accounts for 20 per cent of the social, economic and psychological costs of illness in China but receives only four per cent of the health budget.

spent about 4.8 per cent of the total health budget on mental health and we were decried for being one of the lowest funders in the developed world. Britain spends just over 12 per cent of its health budget on mental health and five per cent is considered the minimum acceptable amount by European health economists. In addition to a lack of mental health spending in China, stigma is also a very large problem in that country and prevents many from seeking the help they need. Mental illness was largely ignored in China up until the early 20th century when a Presbyterian medical missionary named Dr. John Kerr opened a refuge for the insane and took the radical step of declaring patients as people who were ill and should be treated as human beings. The refuge received some government funding and operated about 500 beds before it was shut down in 1937. During the 1960s and ’70s, the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness was largely controlled by the government until the system was modernized and shifted to more western treatment standards. China opened its first psychiatric hospital in 1998. According to an article in Psychiatric Times, there are only 4,000 psychiatrists for China’s more than 1 billion people (a ratio of .003 psychiatrists for every 100,000 people) and only 14,000 doctors working in psy-

chiatric hospitals. Also, in spite of a communistic government, the majority of people must pay for at least part of their psychiatric treatment. It is estimated that more than 90 per cent of individuals with schizophrenia are cared for primarily by family members. On another comparative note, there are roughly 4,100 psychiatrists for Canada’s population of 34 million, which puts us at an average ratio of 12 psychiatrists for every 100,000 people. Here in Kelowna, the ratio is slightly higher with a ratio of 15 psychiatrists for every 100,000 people and every psychiatrist is completely booked with no one currently taking new referrals due to excessively long wait lists. Considering China’s vastly lower ratios, it isn’t surprising to hear there is a lack of psychiatric services. Although we may not know exactly what motivated five separate men to attack school children recently in China, it is clear that country’s mental health system is in need of an infusion of resources and planning. In China, as in Canada, the enduring barrier of stigma surrounding mental illness must be brought down so people can feel free to seek help when they need it.

U.S. physician visits OK campus to speak on Gaza situation Dr. Bill Dienst, a physician from Tonasket, Wash., has been invited by the Kelowna Peace Group to speak on the recent attack by Israeli forces on the Free Gaza Flotilla that left nine

people dead. Dienst will give his talk Saturday, June 19,7 p.m., in room H-115 at the Kelowna campus of Okanagan College. The flotilla ships were car-

rying baby food, clothing and building material much needed in Gaza after the destruction from the bombardment of the winter of 2008-09. “The Canadian government

should have joined the indignation voiced by most countries that denounced the brutal attack on the flotilla and demanded an independent inquiry,” said Anne-Marie Brun, with

the Kelowna Peace Group. Dienst’s new power point presentation will describe his participation in the first Free Gaza Movement boat voyage (August 2008) which success-

fully sailed into Gaza harbour, breaking the 41-year-old Israeli maritime siege of Gaza. Admission is by donation. For more info see kelownapeacegroup@shaw.ca.

launch have identified a temporary repair that will be made shortly, allowing the Regional District of Central Okanagan to make the main launch available for use by recreational boaters. “This is a temporary fix so that we can get the popular launch back in service for the recreational boating community. Our staff will monitor the lake level and the condition of the boat launch daily.” Smith said the regional district still plans to replace the complete launch structure later this summer as new, engineered pads must be installed. “This will likely result in another temporary closure while work takes place on site, the concrete is poured, cured and the new pads are installed,” he said. “We recently received the environmental approvals we were seeking to conduct work in the water while protecting the fish spawning habitat.” The main launch has been closed since January because the farthest pads were damaged. Between May 1 and Sept. 30, the gate to the regional park, boat launch, small beach and parking area along Okanagan Centre Road in Lake Country is locked daily from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.

Palahniuk 2nd at B.C. seniors Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

AMANDA MALONE/BCGA

KELOWNA’S Lynda Palahniuk finished second at the B.C. Senior Women’s Golf Championship Wednesday in Summerland.

After posting a 7-over par score on the front nine in the final round, no one could be blamed for writing off Lynda Palahniuk at the 2010 B.C. senior women’s golf championship. But the 2002 champion from Kelowna dug deep over the last nine holes to force a playoff Wednesday at the Summerland Golf and Country Club, before settling for second best to Vancouver’s Phyllis Laschuk. Palahniuk had battled back from a four-stroke deficit on the back nine to finish tied with Laschuk after regulation play at 9-over 231.

‘‘

IT’S HARD TO BE OVERLY DISAPPOINTED WHEN I’M AS FORTUNATE AS I AM TO STILL BE PLAYING THE GAME.

Laschuk—who also defeated Palahniuk in a playoff in 2003—won the championship with a par on the second extra hole. Still, Palahniuk’s ability to resurrect her game on the back nine was reason enough to be positive about her performance. “I really had a poor front nine, but I was happy

that I didn’t give up and I rallied on the back nine,” said Palahniuk who led Laschuk by two strokes after two rounds (73-77). “Obviously I’m disappointed that it went the way it did in the end, but now it’s time to move on and prepare for nationals.” The role of bridesmaid at major events has become a familiar theme for Palahniuk. The 58-year-old Kelowna Golf and Country Club member has finished as the runner-up at the Canadian senior women’s championship three years in a row. Now she’s been second in B.C. three times—in 2003, 2008 and 2010. “It seems like I have a history of that, but that’s

the way it goes,” she said. “I’m actually pleased with the way I’ve been playing this year, I’ve had more lower rounds. It’s hard to be overly disappointed when I’m as fortunate as I am to still be playing the game.” Palahniuk will focus much of her summer on preparing for the Canadian senior women’s championship Aug. 23 to 26 in Parksville. Then, five days later, Palahniuk, Kelowna’s Melanie Grant and Port Alberni’s Jackie Little leave for Britain where they will compete in the Irish and British senior women’s open championships. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

▼ FASTBALL

Slow start doesn’t stop Heat of our team’s ability but we were able to go into playoffs and redeem ourselves. “The girls tasted the bitterness of defeat on Saturday and were determined to not taste that again on Sunday,” he added. “Every player came out sharp and attentive and executed to perfection.” In the final, Rachel Penner turned in a solid pitching effort and was backed by an airtight defense. Morgan Cederholm, Taya Skarbo and Penner each had two hits in the final. After going a disappointing 0-4 in the round robin, Kelowna knocked off the Fraser Valley Fusion 7-0 in the opening game of the playoffs. Penner tossed a twohitter, while Danielle Orr and Cederholm each had two RBIs.

In the semifinal Taya Skarbo picked up the W as Kelowna beat the Ridge Meadows Pride 9-4. Felisha Vogelaar paced the offense with three hits and two runs, while Kenzie Barbour added a pair of hits and two runs. Taylor Weixl, Brianne Chmilar, Kaitlyn Collins, Josee Arpin and Brittany Smith round out the Heat roster.

An uncharacteristically lackluster start didn’t stop the Kelowna Rambow Mechanical Heat from taking care of business at the Ridge Meadows bantam A girls fastball tournament. After losing all four of their round robin games last weekend, the Heat caught fire to win all three playoff contests and the gold medal. In the championship final Sunday, the Heat downed the Surrey Storm 6-2 to cap off a strange, albeit triumphant weekend. “We had a long break between tournaments and it showed as we came out very flat in round robin play but were able to turned it on in the playoffs to win the tournament,” said Heat coach Bernie Penner. “We were fortunate, as our play on Saturday was not indicative

The award is presented annually by the Okanagan Mainline Amateur Hockey Association to a player within the district who is not only dedicated to their sport but also displays dedication to community service.

Y LEAGUE…

After a disappointing start two weeks ago, the Thompson Okanagan U15 boys soccer team

rebounded with two solid performances in Super Y League action. With three regulars out of the lineup due to injury, TO played to a 1-1 draw with Mountain FC Saturday in Vernon. MacKenzie Rigg’s goal for T.O. in the first half held up for the better part of 90 minutes, but Mountain equalized with a marker just 30 seconds before the end of the match. On Sunday, a big 1-0 win for Thompson Okanagan over previously unbeaten Coquitlam Metro Ford. The breakthrough for TO came when Brandon Nahayowski chased a through ball, beat the defender and neatly put the ball over the keeper to

score. The visitors looked stunned, but came back strongly with their best chances coming in the second half. The Thompson Okanagan side showed real grit with Robin Whittaker blocking shots on goal twice and Jake Bainas making a number of excellent saves.

Stroda set a new B.C. mark in 14-year-old boys shot put at the 2010 Jesse Bent Memorial Cheetah Meet in Coquitlam last weekend. His toss of 14.24 metres shattered the record in the 4 kg shot put,

previously held by Tyler Stark (14.06) in 2006. “Coquitlam has been proven to be a great place for me,” said Stroda. “I set a new B.C. record in shot put last year here and felt really good to come back.” Three of Stroda’s attempts were above the 14metre mark. Dylan Armstrong,

Canada’s world class international shot putter, Canadian record holder and Olympic athlete, threw 15.65 m in 1995 when he was Aaron’s age. At that time, the young throwers competed with a 3 kg shot put. Today, 14-year-old athletes use the 4 kg put which can amount to as much as 1.5 to 2 metres less distance.

Beach v’ball Pinnacle Elite to help train UBCO athletes season tips off in City Park Thirty-five teams in five divisions helped tip off the new summer beach volleyball season with the High School Beach Open last Saturday at City Park. In the senior girls division, it was an all-KSS final pitting Clarice MacGillivray and Kailin Jones over fellow indoor teammates Chandler Proch and Jen Meyer, three of whom will be continuing their volleyball careers at UBCO this fall. MacGillivray and Jones swept the final 219, 21-13 after a long, hot day on the sand, making the right shots at the right time. Katja Birker and Nikki Valgardson, also teammates of the finalists at KSS, took the bronze after defeating Penticton’s Keirsten Mend and Jamie Fleet. In junior girls action, Hillary Schell and Kaitlynn Given from KSS used their superior offensive power and skill from the service line to win gold, 21-10, 21-7, over surprise finalists, Penticton’s Janna Clarke and Kiah Wheeler. Mt. Boucherie’s Megan Ramstad and Jayme Miller took third place. In the Grade 8 girls division, two Vernon teams battled it out in the final with Kalamalka’s Megan Squair and Emi-

ly Thorlakson winning in two straight sets (21-14, 21-18) over Vernon Secondary’s Kelsey Tkachuk and Jesse Hembling settled for second. Aidan Lea and Emily Draper from KLO placed third after defeating Abi McCluskey and Jolene Gunning (KVR). In senior boys play, KSS teammates Calvin Heinrichs and Jordan Beach took the gold (2118) over Tanner March and Ryan Mitton (OKM) due to some timely digs and blocks. Boucherie’s Scott Plocktis and Jeremy Finn battled it out for bronze against Penticton’s Carson Berry and Nigel Rahkola with Plocktis and Finn emerging the victors. In the Junior division, Liam Birker and Ty Campbell, hailing from KLO, took first place in a hard fought battle (21-14, 21-15) over George Elliot’s Scott Marshall and Shane Hayes. Logan Mend and Matt Stadnyk from KVR, the youngest boy’s team, took third by a combination of excellent serving and superb shot making. Kieran Lea and Colin Pistawka (KLO) came fourth. The second tournament of the season is this Saturday at City Park. To register, visit www.volleyballbc.ca.

The UBC Okanagan athletics department has called on Pinnacle Elite Athlete to provide off-season testing and training for their athletes. Pinnacle Elite Athlete, located in the Capital News Centre on Gordon Drive, will provide sport-specific program designs for UBCO’s student athletes in the summer off-season. “We were very pleased with the outcomes of the training program Pinnacle provided last year,” said Rob Johnson, the athletic director at UBCO. “With the progression of our program into the Canada West conference of the CIS we need to continue to train our student athletes with the research-based, leading edge

training techniques that Pinnacle can provide.” Caitlin Nyhus, the co-captain of the twotime national women’s volleyball team, quickly reaped the benefits of her time spent working with Pinnacle trainers last year. “The training at Pinnacle was amazing,” said Nyhus. “Having an individual workout program to fit your needs and goals was awesome. “When volleyball started again last September, it was the first season in four years that my body wasn’t sore from head to toe after the first week. I feel that just doing regular workouts on my own isn’t enough anymore and Pinnacle provides us with basically the ultim-

ate plan to prepare us for the upcoming season.” Pinnacle has been providing individualized, sport specific programs to developing and elite athletes in the Okanagan for the past four years. “We have trained athletes from CCAA, CIS, NCAA, BCHL, WHL, and professional leagues including the NHL for the last few years, concentrating on using the best available techniques to help athletes develop to their full potential, “ said Shane Pizzey, Pinnacle’s Director of Sport Science. “We are really excited to continue to work with UBCO and their coaches as they embark on the transition to CIS competition.”

More screenings than ever at Okanagan Film Festival Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

The Okanagan Film Festival found itself in an unusual position in this its 13th year. When the calls for submissions went out, the festival organizers were inundated with responses and a record number of submissions. “We are definitely on the international scene,” said Jason Woodford, the festival president. Of the 200 to 300 submissions received, more than 130 will actually see screen time. “They’re good quality films,” said local documentary aficionado Leo Bartels, of Leo’s Videos, noting he was impressed by some of the cinematography in this batch. For those who like to laugh, there will be plenty to smile about this year as well, starting with the opening film. Kicking off the lineup, Cryptozoologist Dr. Paul Moran will take audiences on a search for Ogopogo

in Beast of the Bottomless Lake, a film penned by local actor and writer Keith Provost, who was killed in a cycling accident before the movie could be made. The whale of a tale earned Vancouver actor Kennedy Goodkey and director Craig March plenty of attention from the outset, with features on their effort to make a movie in Provost’s honour in publications like the Globe and Mail and Cult Times. “We’re trying to actually get away form the idea of it being a ‘mockumentary’…you see a lot of it from the point of view of the documentary crew, but there’s also an omniscient eye,” Goodkey told Globe reporter Eva Salinas as they began looking for actors in 2006. On the other end of the spectrum, Okanagan College communications professor Marc Arellano will make his film festival debut with a very serious and thought provoking portrayal of the fruit

industry’s problems. His timing is impeccable. With positive protests organized this spring by the BC Fruit Growers’ Association to showcase the unbearably low profit margins growers face, the film should certainly bolster the growers’ message. And that is likely fine by Arellano who seems thoroughly committed to the cause. Speaking at the kickoff for the film festival, he told media he was inspired to do the project by the birth of his only child, Camille Arellano, who sat colouring at the back of the room and snapping photos of her father as he spoke. “I’m optimistic,” Arellano said in interview afterwards. “The fruit growers are hardworking people who work to keep cheap food on our tables and, even though things don’t look good right now, I’m optimistic that can turned around. Certainly, this industry has faced struggles before.”

OKANAGAN COLLEGE instructor Marc Arellano says his five-year-old daughter Camille Arellano is well on

her way to becoming a filmmaker herself; she inspired him to pursue his documentary project, Strange Fruit, which showcases the struggle local food producers face as they try to provide affordable food to Canadians. His film, Strange Fruit, plays July 23 at Okanagan College at 8 p.m. in a time slot where he will face some tough competition.

him to leave Europe’s pornography scene behind and confront his history of sexual abuse. The story has won critical acclaim, including two Leo Awards in 2009, for its easy, often humorous approach to a complicated and heavy subject matter. My Son the Pornographer has screened at the Vancouver International Film Festival, the Victoria Film Festival and the WorldFest—Houston International Film Festival to name just a few. And it’s not exactly an obscure find in the Okanagan International Film Festival schedule. A good deal of the films in the lineup are multi-award winning projects and should attract some high-level talent to the valley come show time. Local filmmaker Heath Tait’s Vancouver Vagabond (July 23, Kelowna Community Theatre, 8:30 p.m.), for example, has won awards at both the Mexico International Film Festival and the Las Vegas Film Festival, and will be screened along with the animated short on which the story line is based. Bruce Sweeney’s Excited, which swept the 2010 Leo Awards in Vancouver earlier this month, will also be screened on July 23 at the Paramount Theatre. And a couple of big Canadian directors have already confirmed their attendance. Carl Bes-

sai will be on hand to show Cole (July 24, 7:15 p.m., Paramount) and Vic Sarin will bring his new film, A Shine of Rainbows (July 24, 2:45 p.m., Paramount), to town. One Australian short film, Miracle Fish (July 23, 9 p.m., Royal Anne), is nominated for an academy award. After six years at the helm of the film festival, this will also be Woodford’s last year masterminding the project. A clause in the society’s board says he cannot do more than six years in his position as festival president, but Woodford said it is also time for him to move on. His own documentary, adapting Keith Emerson’s autobiography Pictures of an Exhibitionist, is nearing completion and he needs to dedicate more time to the project, he said. The Okanagan International Film Festival runs July 21 to 25 in Kelowna. Complete information on screen times and ticket sales can be found at www.okanaganfilmfestival.com.

Toy Story 3 more than neat 3D CGI, it’s a good story I n 1995, Toy Story was released and made history because it was the first feature film released to use only Computer Generated Imagery (CGI). Since then, the Disney/Pixar team has not failed in producing box office hits including Toy Story 2, A Bug’s Life, Monster, Inc., Finding Nemo, Wall-E and UP. But the success of these films is not just that they feature ground breaking visuals, they also feature emotionally engaging stories. Toy Story 3 is no exception as not only does it feature the CGI that made the original legendary, but it is presented in 3-D as well. However, that is secondary to the story of what happens to toys when their children grow up. Andy is now 18 and heading off to college and must decide what to do with his old toys. Woody, Buzz and the rest accidentally end up at a daycare where they are seemingly welcomed

For The Trotsky, he returns to Canada playing Montreal West high school student Leon Bronstein who believes that he is the re-incarnation of Marxist/Bolshevik leader Leon Trotsky. Shortly after he starts to work in his family’s clothing factory, he attempts to unionize the workplace with such actions as a hunger strike.

While trying to escape and reunite with Woody, the toys discover that Andy is looking for them and they all work together to get back to the life that they had. One of the animators of the original two Toy Story movies is the director of the other big opener this weekend, Jonah Hex.

Bus marshalls will assist athletes in boarding the appropriate buses to and from sports venues. First aid attendants will be posted at key locations to assist anyone experiencing health difficulties. Food service volunteers will help in serving meals and snacks to athletes and delegates.

Policy change in the public interest

n Jan. 4 of this year, the ministry of the attorney general introduced a fee structure for accessing criminal court records online. A charge of $6 would be levied each time a file or document was opened. The justification was the recovery of some of the costs associated with providing the online service, and to discourage frivolous record searches. For most people, it was an initiative of seemingly little sig-

nificance, affecting perhaps only those who worked in legal circles. In fact, it carried the potential of profound public impact. Court records contain important public information. The media relies heavily on that to keep the public informed about criminal justice proceedings, individuals who run afoul of the law, and the context of their crimes. When someone is charged with a serious offence, does that person have a previous crimin-

MAIN SWITCHBOARD

al record? Is he or she connected with criminal organizations or other activities? Although that information can be accessed in person at court houses, many B.C. towns are served by court facilities in larger communities long distances away. The cumulative cost of frequent and numerous court record searches was prohibitive, especially for smaller papers and other media outlets. The potential result was re-

stricted access, less detailed reporting, and a less informed public. Over the past several months, various media organizations, including Black Press which owns the Capital News, have lobbied Attorney General Mike de Jong to rescind the fees. This week, the AG announced the online criminal record search fee would be scrapped, as of Aug. 31. It was a commendable decision, ultimately made in the public interest.

Biker Lekstrom takes easy way out and heads for the hills

ne of the more memorable scenes of the B.C. Liberal era was the glamorous former finance minister Carole Taylor riding around the legislature grounds on an old Harley driven by its proud owner, Peace River South MLA Blair Lekstrom. Since rising from the mayor’s office in Dawson Creek to provincial politics in 2001, Lekstrom has enjoyed his image as a tough, independent biker. His latest turn, before last week’s sudden exit from the B.C. Liberal caucus, was to grumble about new safety legislation that outlaws those stupid little beanie helmets favoured by scientifically challenged Harley riders.

Now Lekstrom and Taylor have each taken their turn as media stars for their supposedly tough stance on the harmonized sales tax. Taylor spoke three sentences on a CTV panel show a few weeks ago that have been spun ever since into a damnation of her former boss Gordon Campbell. She even called the HST—gasp!— “ideological” in its tax shift from business to consumers. As we used to say in Dawson Creek, well, duh. It’s hardly surprising that Taylor recognizes this nefari-

ous ideology, since she espoused it for four years in the Campbell government. One of her last moves as finance minister was to phase out Tom the corporate capFletcher ital tax. Critics on the left portrayed her as a Gucci-shod aristocrat who handed a $100 million gift from taxpayers to the banks, then retired to a lucrative directorship at the TD Bank. And of course she looked splendid in green, implementing North America’s first carbon tax, with key exemptions for big industrial emitters.

VICTORIA VIEWS

And now we have Lekstrom, who perhaps should have protected his skull better during his wild years. He seems a bit dazed and confused about the HST, still vaguely praising it in his letter of resignation to Campbell. “I firmly believe that British Columbians must be realistic and recognize that without a strong economy and competitive tax regimes, government cannot afford to meet their continued demands for increased investment in health care, education, social services and all other programs British Columbians enjoy,” Lekstrom wrote. Right you are, Blair. Carole Taylor couldn’t have said it better. This must be why you supported the HST

in the cabinet, the B.C. Liberal caucus and then in a series of votes in the house. Alas, Lekstrom writes: “I have reached the point where my beliefs and values no longer align with my government.” Which beliefs would those be, Blair? The ones on the record or the ones recently developed in the coffee shops and car dealerships of Dawson Creek? It’s no secret that the HST is a daunting prospect for regions that border Alberta. It’s no coincidence that East Kootenay MLA Bill Bennett was quickly promoted to the suddenly vacant energy portfolio. See Fletcher A28

â&#x2013;ź AFGHANISTAN

War is only â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a football fieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; away To the editor: Afghanistanâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;only a football field away. Yesterday I met a lady in one of our local businesses and that has prompted me to write a letter to the editor. As we were discussing the reason for my visit, I noticed a picture of a handsome young man in military uniform. She told me that was her son who is serving in Afghanistan. I told her I would pray for his safe return. She thanked me and told me his name is Luke.

She went on to say that she had thought the war was half a world away, as most of us do, until the day that Luke and a fellow soldier were combing an area searching for IEDs. Sadly, his comrade, who was about â&#x20AC;&#x153;a football fieldâ&#x20AC;? away from Luke, was killed by an IED. I put my sunglasses on to hide the torrent of tears that streamed down my cheeks. This war suddenly became real for me. Just a football field awayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not half a world away. I thought about all the other mothers with sons over there and told the woman I would be

praying for all the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lukesâ&#x20AC;? over there. She was very grateful for that. I said I would tell all my friends to keep Luke in their prayers, as well. Then the proverbial light bulb came on. Why not write a letter to the editor and beseech all the mothers in Kelowna to pray for all the Lukes in Afghanistan? That is the very least we can do. Please, just do it. Sophie McCarthy, Kelowna

â&#x2013;ź FOREST HEALTH

Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paying for moth spray on private lands? To the editor: Re: Tussock fir moth/ spruce budworm spraying. Last August, Joe Rich residents were assured that the Ministry of Forest would help coordinate, and the regional district would help communicate, a specific bug spray program for private property for the area. To date, absolutely nothing has happened.

Despite the local spray committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best efforts to sign up residents and have them agree to pay up to $50 an acre, nothing happened. Thus, Joe Rich residents were startled to see a large block of approximately 40 private properties, being sprayed through the Ministry of Forests and CORD with letters of communication sent to each resident. All

this at a cost of only a few dollars for the whole acreage. It was also surprising to learn that these private lots would be sprayed by the same helicopter and with the same spray being used by the Ministry of Forests. Joe Rich residents were told again and again that the Ministry does not spray private land. No one disagrees

with having private lands sprayed as needed but why not the needed areas of Joe Rich also? And by now you must be wondering, who is paying for the actual cost of the spray and the helicopter work on the private lots in Ellison. Yup. It is you and me through provincial taxes. What is needed is a well coordinated program on both private and pub-

lic lands as deforestation causes many problems besides â&#x20AC;&#x153;tussockkosisâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the usual excuse for fir moth spraying. Fire dangers represent a far greater threat to human health. But one would have to wonder where CORD has been in all of this and why the local director is not speaking up for his constituents. Reg Volk, Joe Rich

Another angle on the Mavi Marmara attack Open letter to Mark Haley of the Kelowna Peace Group: Six months ago Israel interrupted a very large shipment of weapons destined for the Hamas on the Gaza strip. The Free Gaza Movement and the violent extremists of the Mavi Marmara ship were found carrying weapons into the

Gaza strip, which is forbidden. There is extensive video evidence showing that they attacked a soldier who was armed only with a paintball gun with Turkish weapons. My question is what sort of peace activists support violence against unarmed soldiers? As a riot broke out soldiers with live ammunition killed

armed activists that were attacking unarmed soldiers. The marvel is that Mavi Marmara, when inspected, was found to only contain weapons and no humanitarian aid. The aid from the other ships contained around 30 truckloads of aid. Israel donates 150-180 truckloads of aid to Gaza daily. The prob-

lem is that the aid is often refused by Hamas. The aid from this flotilla is yet to be accepted by Hamas. I wish that your letter would express honesty, and not deception, about the crew. They are known as the IHH and internationally recognized as a terrorist organization, outlawed in their home country Turkey. If you

would like you can Youtube videos of the Mavi Marmara taken by its own crew which show the violent outlash at soldiers, the prayers for martyrdom, the calling of the return of the Jewish people to Auschwitz. Mark Haley: You truly do not understand the word peace. Jordan David, Kelowna

Helpful hug appreciated during stressful accident To the editor: I am writing in regards to the multi-car accident that happened on Wednesday June 9 at Peachland. I was involved in this accident, that I am still shaken by. I was not at fault with this accident, but with all of whom where involved with this

accident my heart goes out to them. It was like a bad dream that had become a reality within a couple of seconds of reaction to try to avoid being hit. I was in disbelief of what had just happened and probably in shock when I got out of my vehicle.

I just want to thank all the people who stopped and offered to help. The firemen that all asked if we were alright and checked us over before leaving the scene. Also a very much appreciated hug that I got from a woman as soon as I got out, wandering out of

HST twists shake Campbell Fletcher from A29 When reporters crowded into Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office Friday morning, he was clearly shaken by the latest twist in the HST saga. Asked about another new party rising in B.C., he noted that anti-HST organizer Chris Delaney has had three runs at that. The most recent was the B.C.

Conservatives, the only party in 2009 to endorse the HST. Lekstromâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest brainwave, presented at last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cabinet meeting as his price for staying on, was a six-month time-out for the HST. Again, duh. The federal deal is done. The PST is gone. The moneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spent. Where would we find the

billion dollars, Blair? One Vancouver paper played up Lekstromâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maverick image, with the obligatory Harley photo and a headline proclaiming him Rebel With a Cause. I think Tom Petty was closerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;rebel without a clue. Tom Fletcher is Black Pressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; legislative reporter. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

NEWS â&#x2013;ź MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S REPORT

Province investing in local transportation infrastructure

ecently, along with my fellow Kelowna area MLAs, I announced the expansion of the U-Pass transit program. U-Pass ensures discounted rates for students attending publicly funded post-secondary institutions in British Columbia,

helping to ease the costs of transportation to and from school. We are fortunate to live in a province where education, infrastructure and environmentally friendly initiatives are so highly valued. This partnership between the province, B.C.

Transit and local governments makes B.C. the only province to provide a U-Pass program to college and university students in Canada. With this $20 million investment, students across the province can count on their U-Pass transit rate to stay under

$30 a month. Students at UBC Okanagan pay $13 per month, about 75 per cent less than the adult fare of $53 per month. Extra money in studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pockets goes a long way in helping manage tight budgets during their university years.

Since adopting the UPass program in 2007, UBCO students have enjoyed affordable transportation, while helping to reduce traffic and cutting down on greenhouse gas emissions. An increase in bus riders will also cut down on the need for expen-

sive parking structures on campus. With the expansion of the U-Pass program, Okanagan College, who is not currently enrolled, has the option of holding a student referendum to decide whether to join the program and take advantage of these savings on student transit, as do the students at UBCO. The U-Pass program, coupled with increased investment into transit and improvements on Highway 33 and Highway 97, allows Kelowna residents to have a safer and greener commute. Along Highway 33, the 4.2 kilometre stretch is being widened to four lanes. We all know the frustration of being stuck in traffic. This investment will help relieve congestion in the area and improve road safety. Bike lanes will also be added along that same stretch of highway, which improves safety for cyclists who choose a green commute. Our government is committed to green transportation alternatives and we encourage healthy activities like cycling. Another commitment to transportation safety in our area is the rerouting of Highway 97 from Winfield to Oyama. The fatal accident this week along that route is another unfortunate reminder that action is necessary to keep our road users safe.

Numbing ourselves to violence can have deadly consequences

haken and saddened by the recent violent death of a Peachland teenager, our hearts go out to family and friends of the young girl who died, and also of the girl who struck out with such tragic results. Youth in my church community knew both girls, and are bewildered and deeply troubled by this seemingly incomprehensible shattering of lives. My heart is touched by the courage of bereaved parents who have spoken out about how we must all learn from their daughter’s senseless death. We all bear the weight and responsibility for increasing violence in our society. This tragedy so close to home calls us to renew our commitment to reducing violence. Every religious tradition challenges us to find ways to live more peacefully, and to choose love over fear as the guiding principle of our lives. Jesus of Nazareth went so far as to declare that we must love our enemies. In the 1990s, I worked for the Peace Resource Center in San Diego, supported by diverse faith groups. We educated about issues of violence—offering an Alternatives to Violence training creat-

Linda Horton ed by the Quakers, peace fairs for school children, information about effects of media and computer games on brain circuitry, especially upon the young whose brains are not fully formed. Studies show that in movies remade from a generation prior, violence was increased five-fold. Nursery school children who watched violent cartoons act out more aggressively on the playground. Impulse control is undermined by computer games that reinforce a direct link to the “reptilian” flight/fight brain, rather than the part capable of more complex, nuanced decisions. We explored how melodramatic media eroded a sense of safety, increasing fear and therefore fear-driven responses to perceived threat. The line between fantasy and reality can become blurred, and it can be easy to move from pushing a button in a game to dropping bombs upon non-combatants

whose deaths are regretted as “collateral damage.” Apparently, through World War II, many soldiers did not shoot to kill. For all the rhetoric about aggressiveness, compassion is also innate. Killing “our own” is contrary to something in human nature, as well as the teachings of most religions—and universal religions consider all of humanity (and increasing-

ly, all life on earth), “our own.” Psychopaths lack that compassion. Many others are conditioned by fear or zenophobia to see other groups of people as less than human—or perceive themselves to be under threat or protecting others. Tribal violence in Africa happens because each tribe considers the other less than ‘human.” Perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks believed they

were acting against “evil,” a stance Muhammad would never have condoned. The psychological carnage of the Vietnam War was greater than any previous American war because its rightness was called into doubt. Those told it was their duty to kill found themselves wondering if they had become killers for no justifiable reason. Being required to take human lives maims the

human spirit. Only when that sacrifice is perceived as necessary to prevent greater harm can a reasonably sane person live with it. Twenty years later, city streets were haunted by homeless veterans whose lives had been shattered beyond redemption, either by the war itself or the drugs they became hooked on to numb their humanity. Like the frog in a pan

of water gradually heated to boiling, we are numbed to the danger and wrongness of violence in our society. Only when it touches close to home do we question. May our questions lead to compassionate action for the safety and well-being of our youth and us all. Rev. Linda Weaver Horton is with the Unitarian Fellowship of Kelowna.

Nissan’s 370Z roadster is the best “Z” car yet Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR

Can it really be 40 years since the Nissan (nee Datsun) 240Z appeared? I remember seeing the first pictures in Road & Track. Suddenly, from the land that churned out dumpy little sedans came this apparition. It had a long hood, a short tail and scooped out headlights. It was beautiful. Over the years, the Nissan Z has had a number of different faces from the bloated early 1980s design approach through the “lozenge” look era and on to the taut, chiseled lines that brought the Z back from boulevard cruiser to today’s muscular profile. Like the original Z, the 2010 car does not look like anything else on the road. You can spot it at the other

end of a football field and know instantly what it is. The current model Z debuted as a Coupe in 2009 followed by the Roadster tested here. The current car is visibly more compact that the previous version. It is four inches shorter in the wheelbase and 2.6 inches shorter overall. This translates into quicker steering response. Aided by the wide front and rear track, the car reacts to driver inputs immediately. In fact, you can enter a tight turn and, with the stability/traction control switched off, steer on the throttle which is marvelously satisfying once you get the hang of it. One thing I noticed was the solidity of the 370Z. This is attributed to a much stiffer body/ frame from the previous Z and additional structural reinforcement for the

CONTRIBUTED

THE 2010 NISSAN 370Z ROADSTER looks like nothing else on the road and has the performance and handling to match. Roadster (over the 370Z Coupe), including in the A-pillars and side sills. Visually, the body of

the 370Z Roadster is a series of compound curves and ellipses, not a straight line is to be found.

Like the Coupe, the Roadster has vertical door handles and a distinctive new headlight/taillight

treatment, which features an aggressive “boomerang” shape. High Intensity Discharge (HID) bi-

functional xenon headlights with auto on/off See 370Z B3

Not a straight line to be found 370Z from B1 feature are standard. A challenge was to take the very tightly tapered roofline, which makes the Coupe look so aggressive, and carry it over to the soft top. Credit modern engineering and a lot of servomotors that move the Zshaped arms of the top up and down in 20 seconds. The black cloth top (Bordeaux hue available) follows the shape of the Coupe’s roof faithfully and even has a large rear heated glass window. The passenger area can best be described as twin cockpits because of the high doorsills and the large transmission and drive shaft tunnel running down the centre. The drive shaft, by the way, is carbon fibre. The Z Roadster features unique leather “net” seats with four-way power/four-way manual operation on the driver’s seat (four-way power on the passenger’s seat). These second-generation net seats are exclusive to the Z Roadster and have integrated heating and cooling. Adjustable front seat Active Head Restraints are also standard. One of the design cues from the original Z is the three pods top centre (and angled towards the driver)

The instrument panel, like the doorsills, is high and you really get the feeling of being, not just in the car, but part of it. The six-speed, manual transmission (seven-speed automatic optional), because of the amounts of torque it has to handle, feels brawny and shifts like it. The clutch, on the other hand, seems almost too light and bites in the very top of the pedal travel. Leaving from rest takes a little getting used to but soon you find your-

self bringing the engine up to a hair above idle and letting in the clutch until you sense the torque coming in. At that point, you can do just about anything you please from mild to wild. That’s because this 3.7-litre engine is so willing to please. Compared to the previous generation 350Z Roadster, the new Z convertible picks up 26 horsepower and two lb/ft of torque (332 hp, 270 lb/ft) compared with the previous 3.5-litre V6. Based on the “VQ” V6 engine architecture, it is so

Estimated fuel economy is 11.6 L/100km City and 7.7 L/100km Highway for the manual transmission and 11.4 L/100km City and 7.6 L/100km Highway for the automatic transmission. The double-wishbone front suspension uses lighter forged aluminum arms and a lightweight rigid aluminum-alloy cradle, along with a lighter stabilizer bar with a 35 per cent improved lever ratio. The four-link rear suspension is also stiffer and lighter, with the rear cradle entirely integrated into a single unit. “High response” shock absorbers are utilized on each corner for improved ride comfort. Fitted to my tester was the optional ($4,000) Sport Package that adds 19-inch RAYS forged lightweight aluminum-alloy wheels with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A P245/40R19 front/P275/35R19 tires. Believe me, these babies grip but they are strictly summer tires.

In terms of performance, handling and amenities about the only cars that come close are the Audi TTS and Porsche Boxster S but they cost a good piece of change more. Where the 370Z stands out, is not just its impressive performance, but how it looks just sitting there, let alone at speed.

CONTRIBUTOR

As an auto journalist, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m keen to know what others have to say about a vehicle. Not that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trust my observations, but after a week behind the wheel, I often wonder if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the only one who has a par-

Eclipse is no Porsche 911 Turbo Cabrioletâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not even a Miata. But they have entirely missed the point of this vehicle. The same way movie critics slam James Bond flicks, despite their huge popularity. The Eclipse Spyder, like a good Bond film, is all about fun. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a treat

for the eyes, provides a rush of adrenaline, and does all this at an affordable price. The Spyder is available in two well-equipped modelsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the four-cylinder GS at $30,498 and the all-in, V6-powered GT-P for $35,998. For 2011, this convertible hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed

much since the previous year, other than getting some additional content, a slightly lowered suspension (15 mm) and a few styling tweaks to the base GS model that include a new front and rear bumper treatment, new wheels and now dual exhausts.

Overall, the swoopy styling of the Eclipse— both convertible and coupe—turns heads, especially in Solar Yellow, as was my tester for the week. Its wide track, muscular haunches, big wheels, large-diameter exhaust outlets and black jet-fighter grille all combine for a look that is striking and purposeful—top down or up. Release two latches, push a button, and in about 19 seconds the Eclipse’s woven cloth top disappears into the trunk beneath a flush fitting tonneau cover. With the top down, there’s no unsightly bump to mess with the Spyder’s clean profile. Sure, it does impact on trunk space, but that has been closed off so that you don’t accidentally shove a golf bag where it will get in the way. With the multilayer top raised, the interior is snug, but despite Mitsubishi’s efforts to reduce wind noise, you are still subjected to a fair bit of road and engine noise that could be corrected with more sound deadening

materials. Another small gripe, and this is typical of most convertibles, is a lack of rear visibility. I appreciate that Mitsubishi has included a glass rear window (with timed defroster), but it is tiny, and with a relatively high trunk, backing up can be a chore. Thankfully, the company has also included a standard-equipped rearview camera to help with this task. Other standard features on the outside include dual heated power side mirrors, rear spoiler and 18-inch, 10-spoke alloy wheels. On the inside, you get plenty of content, even at the base level. This includes heated front seats, power windows and locks with lockout protection, 650-watt, nine-speaker Rockford premium audio system with speed compensated volume control and Topstack open/close sound compensation, sixmonth subscription to SIRIUS satellite radio, steering wheel audio controls, Bluetooth, rearview camera and more.

which is a lot to live up to for a front-driver. When you’ve got that much power being routed to the same wheels that do the steering, there’s no avoiding the inevitable torque-steer. And with a 60/40 front/rear weight distribution, it feels a bit front-heavy. All-wheeldrive or rear-drive (like the Genesis Coupe), would make the Eclipse more of a pleasure in the corners. That aside, the sixspeed manual, with its short throws and smooth clutch, is a joy to work. The engine’s relatively broad torque curve provides plenty of thrust as you climb through the gears. And the throaty exhaust note from the dual pipes is an added bonus. The front leather seats in my GT-P tester were

the benefits of open-top motoring without getting you in too much trouble, this one’s for you. If, on the other hand you need some “go” to match the “show,” then spend the extra $5,500 for 103 more horses, upgraded transmission and the added content. The GT-P comes standard with a 3.8-litre, 24-valve, SOHC V6 that delivers 265 hp and 262 lb/ft of torque. With it, you get a standard six-speed manual (five-speed on the GS), with a five-speed sequential shift automatic available for an added $1,200 (four-speed on the GS).

Sure, the Spyder car does have its shortcomings, but these fade quickly when you drop the top and feel the cool breeze through your hair on an otherwise sticky afternoon.

MOTORING ▼ ROAD TEST

M-B B200 Turbo is both sporty and roomy for a small car Lorne Drury CONTRIBUTOR

When you’re talking entry-level cars, you’re not normally looking at something priced in the high 20s. But when it’s a Mercedes-Benz, their entry point in Canada (aside from the smart car) is the B200 Sports Tourer, starting at $29,900. Add in a turbo package and the price jumps to $32,400, so it doesn’t take long for the price to top the $37k mark as it did with my recent test car. And while that’s certainly not inexpensive transportation, the B200 is a pretty impressive vehicle for a starter car in any brand. It combines the best of many worlds with good performance, decent fuel economy and a roomy interior along with attractive exterior and interior design. In short, the B-Class offers versatility and an upscale look all in a neat little package. Powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder engine, the B200 Turbo produces 193 hp and 206 lb/ft of torque. This compares with 134 hp and 136 lb/ft for the base level 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder engine. The B200 is front-wheel drive, the only front-driver in the Mercedes-Benz fleet. On the road, the Turbo boasts impressive acceleration numbers, doing the 0-100 km/h run in 7.6 seconds. In contrast, the base 2.0-litre takes10.1 seconds, according to Mercedes-Benz numbers. If it fits your budget, spend the extra $2,500 and go for the Turbo- I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Fuel economy doesn’t suffer much with Natural Resources Canada fuel consumption ratings of 9.5L/100 km (30 mpg) city and 7.4L/100 km (38 mpg) for the Turbo CVT compared with 9.2/7.2 with the non-turbo CVT model. A five- or six-speed manual transmission is standard, but my tester had the Autotronic continuously variable automatic (CVT) transmission. It shifts smoothly but as with all CVTs produces a bit of a whine when you wind it out. For those not familiar with CVTs, they use pulleys and sliding discs instead of gears that you get in conventional transmissions. It means the transmission shifts smoothly with no lags in power and at the same time helps to conserve fuel because the engine always operates in the optimum enginespeed range. The B-Series came to Canada in 2005 (it is not sold in the U.S.) and was refreshed in 2008. Another redesign is planned for 2012 with the new model on the market in 2011, industry insiders suggest. Mercedes calls the B200 a Sports Tourer, but it’s really a small wagon or crossover. The closest competitor is probably the Mazda5, but it is not in the same luxury category. The Audi A3 and MINI Cooper Clubman would also be in the mix and both of these are premium compact hatchbacks. While the price of fuel has stabilized in the short term, it’s only a matter of time before the price of oil starts creeping up again. Then, we’ll likely see the compact and sub-compact

market with cars like the B200 heating up again and making up an even bigger slice of the automotive pie as drivers dump their SUVs and downsize. The B200 is tall at 1,604 mm (63.1 in) for a vehicle with a wheelbase of only 2,778 mm (109.4

in), but it doesn’t look out of proportion. In fact, it has a very sporty flair to it thanks to the front hood that flows down into the broad radiator grille with the distinctive MercedesBenz three-point logo front and centre. The side flanks also slope forward

to the bulging front wheel arches. Inside the cabin, the B200 has a rich look to it, accented by chrome and aluminum trim, aluminum pedals and leatherwrapped steering wheel and shift knob. It’s not as luxurious

as your typical Benz, but certainly far from bargain basement with lots of upscale features such as automatic climate control, auto-dimming rearview mirror, MP3-compatible six-disc CD changer with AM/FM radio and Bluetooth and outside temper-

ature display. Fit and finish is excellent, as one would expect in a Mercedes-Benz. The Turbo model has a leather/fabric combination interior or an optional full-leather interior. See Benz B8

To qualify for the “Car Heaven Program”, customer must turn in a 2003 model year or older vehicle that is in running condition and has been properly registered and insured for the last 6 months. If customer qualifies for either the “Retire Your Ride Program” or Summerhill Impact’s “Car Heaven Program”, Ford of Canada (“Ford”) will provide an additional rebate, if a customer purchases or leases an eligible new 2010 / 2011 (on or after June 1st 2010) Ford or Lincoln vehicle, in the amount of $1,000 (Focus, Fusion (including Hybrid), Mustang, Transit Connect, Ranger), $2,000 (Taurus, Escape (including hybrid), Edge, Flex , Explorer, Sport Trac), or $3,000 (F150, F250-550, E-Series, Expedition, MKZ, MKS, MKX, MKT, Navigator) (each an “Eligible Vehicle”).

MOTORING

Compact Suzuki SX4 hatback great for all seasons, all reasons Neil Moore CONTRIBUTOR

With a few exceptions, I’ve always liked hatchbacks. More practical than their compact and subcompact sedan siblings, these vehicles offer wagon/CUV practicality, but with better fuel economy and in a more svelte package. Hatchbacks, in my mind, usually win on looks as well. Compare the Impreza sedan with the five-door version, the Corolla with the Matrix, and the Yaris sedan with the hatch. I prefer the latter in all cases—especial-

ly the Yaris. So too with this week’s tester, the 2010 Suzuki SX4 Hatchback. A step up from the bland sedan (which is still an improvement over the ugly duckling Aerio), this funky little five-door, with its trucky lines, optional roof rails and pronounced wheel arches looks like a mini SUV. And with optional 16and 17-inch alloy wheels pushed to the four corners, very short rear overhangs and relatively wide track, the SX4 has a firmly planted look. It is also quite stubby, with an overall length not much greater than Hon-

da Fit and Ford Fiesta, and slightly shorter than the Nissan Versa. Both the Fit and Versa, by the way, offer substantially more cargo space, besting the SX4’s 203 litres behind the rear seats with 585 litres and 504 litres, respectively. That aside, there are plenty of reasons to consider Suzuki’s SX4, not the least being its availability of all-wheel-drive. For that kind of all-weather drivability, you can also check out the Impreza and Toyota Matrix, but expect to pay more. Another reason is value. A reasonably wellequipped FWD base mod-

el (with six-speed manual) begins at $17,695. This gets you keyless entry; power windows and doors; air conditioning; four-speaker, satellite-ready AM/FM/CD/ MP3/WMA sound system with auxiliary input and speed-sensing volume control; rear window wiper/washer; six airbags, ABS with brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution, and more. Intelligent all-wheeldrive (iAWD) is available in the JX AWD model at $21,595 with the manual transmission, or if you want the convenience of See Suzuki B12

FROM THE FRONT, the SX4 Hatchback looks sporty with its wide track, black grille and lower fascia, optional fog lamps and black wheel arch extensions.

MOTORING ▼ SUZUKI

Content galore for 25K Suzuki from B10 a continuously variable transmission (CVT), the price jumps to $22,695. My tester for the week was the top-trim JLX model, which includes iAWD and the CVT. For an MSRP of $24,695, you get all of the above features plus heated front seats, automatic climate control, SmartPass keyless entry and start, upgraded nine-speaker AM/ FM/CD/MP3/WMA system with subwoofer and illuminated steering wheel

THE COMPACT Suzuki SX4 Hatchback for 2010 resembles a mini sport utility, with its squarish rear end, optional roof rails, pronounced wheel arches and sizeable alloy wheels. CONTRIBUTED

mounted audio controls, leather-wrapped steering wheel, paddle shifters, 16inch alloys and more. On the safety front, this trim level also adds Daimler’s electronic stability program. That’s a lot of content for under 25-grand. All SX4 models get the same engine, a 2.0-litre DOHC, 16-valve, four-cylinder with variable valve timing (VVT) and sequential multi-point fuel injection. It delivers 150 hp (up seven hp from 2009) and 140 lb/ft of torque over a broad power band. Also new for 2010, a six-speed manual replaces last year’s five-speed, and a CVT replaces the fourspeed autobox. The manual is not available in JLX trim, and I haven’t yet had the chance to drive it. The CVT, however, offers plenty of pep for a vehicle of this size. Like all transmissions of this type, it drones when pressed hard, but without typical shift points, it offers smooth, linear acceleration. You can even use the paddle shifters, which upshift and downshift readily through six simulated “gears,” if you want more of a performance feel. A sporty Europeantuned suspension—MacPherson struts up front and torsion beam in rear—provides a ride that is pleasantly firm. The SX4 corners with minimal lean, yet soaks up road imperfections well. This little hatch is no off-roader, but for cottage roads or slippery conditions, a rocker switch between the front seats can toggle from 2WD (front drive) to Auto, which sends power to the rear when needed, or even Lock, which sends con-

stant torque to both axles up to 60 km/h. On the inside, the SX4 feels spacious and airy. Much of this is due to the car’s low beltline and high roofline, resulting a large greenhouse. There’s even a small quarter windowj by the A-pillar. And with high seating positions, both front and rear, visibility is excellent. Interior fit and finish is good, and the seats, although not available in leather, are upholstered in a comfortable and grippy fabric. Instruments and controls are well positioned and easy to read, and the chrome rings are a nice touch. Rear seat legroom is adequate, with the SX4 offering slightly more than many competing compacts and subcompacts. The 60/40 seatbacks can be dropped for more cargo room, which may happen more often than not, with only 203 litres otherwise available. Sure, the SX4 may have its shortcomings, but when you consider its long list of content, all-weather drivability, solid build quality (doors close with a ‘thunk’, not a tinny rattle), and its relatively low MSRP, this little Suzuki is worth a closer look.

coming or going. The 2010 Lancer Evolution in MR trim takes a step towards sophistication, dropping the large rear spoiler, although it is still an available package option in the GSR trim level.

The phone rang. It was Bob from Beverly Hills Group, the detailers who look after the Mitsubishi press fleet. I assumed that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d left something behind because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just seen and talked to him while exchanging test vehicles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just forgot to remind you that your next test is the Evo.

TRUCK RIGHT

LOOKING GOOD, For just a moment, a very long moment, I contemplated returning and switching vehicles after the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shortest test period of, let me see, about 43 minutes. The vehicle I had just picked up (I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t embarrass it by naming it) was pretty good. But it was no Evo. The Lancer Evolution, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Evoâ&#x20AC;? as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called CONTRIBUTOR

And since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just sitting around here this week, if you want to switch a little earlyâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? Ahh, Bob. This is the kind of thought that would only occur to another â&#x20AC;&#x153;car guyâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the crying shame of a car like the Lancer Evolution just sitting there, not running, not careening around corners, not powering through the gears, notâ&#x20AC;Śwell, you get the picture.

by its fans, is the kind of vehicle that car lovers lust for. It fits into a slightly different category than most North American performance cars, the ones that are revised versions of the old-fartist icons of the past—the Camaros, Mustangs, Challengers and Chargers. There’s no nostalgia here. The Evo is a young man’s car, boasting manic turbocharged power from the East, pure “rice rocket” DNA and no Motown muscle. This is a car that made its bones on the gritty courses of the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), a sport event stage that, like soccer, rugby or Formula 1 racing, is world-renowned but somehow largely ignored in North America. The Evolution harnesses Mitsubishi’s 4B11 engine, an intercooledturbocharged 2.0-litre DOHC, 16-valve, MIVEC inline four-cylinder that make 291 hp at 6,500 rpm and 300 lb/ft of peak torque at 4,000 rpm. That’s a lot of muscle for a small engine in a small car and the Evo responds accordingly with very little turbo lag, a broad torque curve and a choir-like combination of engine and exhaust roars, turbo and transmission whines, enough to make your heart beat seemingly as fast as the motor. The Lancer Evolution comes in a two models in Canada, starting with the five-speed manual GSR version and culminating in the MR (as tested) with a six-speed Twin-Clutch Sportronic Shift Transmission (TC-SST). The TC-SST is more

than just an automatic transmission that allows manual shifting. It offers instantaneous gear changes through electro-hydraulically operated clutches that are controlled via a consolemounted shifter and/or magnesium paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The TC-SST offers three preset drive modes—Normal, Sport and S-Sport. Normal is, well, normal. Sport mode uses higher shift points in automatic mode for improved performance and its corresponding late-changing, higher rev downshifts and automatic throttle-blipping can make a chimp sound like Michael Schumacher. The S-Sport mode takes performance and rpms up to the extreme end of the spectrum and should be saved for competitive solo racing, rallying, autocross runs or just for fun when your mother’s driving. The TC-SST transmission is quick, intuitive and even intelligent enough to improve slightly on the manual’s fuel economy with a rating of 12.7/8.9L/100km (city/ hwy) on premium octane fuel. Although, frankly, if fuel economy is a concern, you are definitely shopping in the wrong aisle here. Regardless of transmission choice, the 2010 Lancer Evolution channels its power through a Super All Wheel Control system (S AWC) that was named Best New Technology by the Automotive Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) after it was introduced for the 2009 model year. This is where the 20

Your host, Cheryl MacKinnon

years of Mitsubishi road and rally four-wheel drive experience come in. The S AWC control network regulates drive torque at each wheel with an assist from a network of handling technologies that include: Active Center Differential (ACD) fourwheel drive; Active Yaw Control (AYC) rear differential; Active Stability Control (ASC); and Sports ABS brakes with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD). And if those dynamic techno-goodies aren’t impressive enough, get a load of the wrapper they come in. The Lancer Evolution is arguably the handsomest small car on the market. It’s definitely the meanest-looking with a shark-nosed snout emphasized by set back headlamps. A side-mounted front license plate holder will occasionally cause some false alarm excitement for your local police department. The wide-mouthed open grille, the strongest styling aspect of the car, was inspired by the 1950’s-style Sabre fighter jet air intake and it’s a look that is taking off across the Mitsubishi lineup. We haven’t had the Evolution very long in Canada but it has already been tweaked for 2010. The two models have diverged somewhat, the GSR maintaining the bad boy racing image with an available handling package and very big spoiler, while the MR has edged toward sophistication, dropping the spoiler and adding a sunroof and a lot of premium package extras as standard equipment. Those additions complement a long list of styling refinements inside and out. Mitsubishi Canada also dropped last year’s lightweight, equipmentdeleted RS model, which, along with the content addition to the MR, tells me that Canadian customers want to have their cake and eat it too, preferring extra luxuries and amenities over the Spartan esthetics of stripped-down power. The bolstered navigation system, the superior audio sound and power, and other luxury add-ons are not too hard to take. And they certainly haven’t softened the hard edges of ornery performance power inside this very potent pocket rocket. For more information see the website mitsubishi-motors.ca
