City fiscally Kelowna man attacked with garden shovel adjusts to tougher times Barry Gerding EDITOR
Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
One Okanagan city’s financial failure could act as a canary in the coal mine for municipalities across B.C. This week the City of Penticton announced 21 members of their workforce would be pink slipped— bringing the tally to 40 since the start of the year— as accountants scrambled to dig out of a deficit projected to be $1.7 million for 2011 and $2.7 million for 2012. The recent spate of layoffs amounted to an annual savings of $970,000. While the City of Kelowna isn’t staring down the same kind of shortfall, Keith Grayston, the director of financial services, said, “this year will be more difficult than 2010” and everything from rising taxes to fewer services could be the result. With revenues from developments drying up over the last two years, the city will once again pull from reserves to make operations run smoothly, and to meet the mandate of a balanced budget. “(Reserves are) specifically for years like now when we know we aren’t going to be achieving those revenues and we need to bring money back in,” said Grayston. “It provides for that flexibility and allows you to ride through the tough times.” But reserves won’t cover all losses, which means there will be changes in how the politicians dole out funds. “We have a lot of requests we know we won’t be able to fund,” he said. “Even when you have an economic slowdown, that doesn’t impact the needs of the fire department or the police department. “You can reduce capital funding, but that puts you into a hole in terms of maintaining a program. You have to make sure you’re not creating a bigger deficit in the future.” One example of an ongoing budget pressure is the cost of maintaining new roads and pathways that were created out of stimulus funds does put ongoing pressure on finances. But, Grayston pointed out, neglecting to do so would cost more money down the road. See Adjusts A7

A 49-year-old Kelowna man was bashed on the head with a garden shovel Thursday, during an attack by two assailants. The incident happened just after 10 a.m. in the 1400 block of Inkar Road as the victim was talking to a woman, identified by police as his ex-wife, on the street curb. Police say a white pickup truck pulled up beside the pair, and two men jumped out of the truck cab and proceeded to attack the victim. When the man fell down, both suspects repeatedly kicked him before returning to their pickup and driving away. Police received no cooperation from the victim, who failed to offer reasons for the assault or the identity of his attackers. All that’s known is the assault had nothing to do with his ex-wife. “This is not a domestic situation,” said a police officer at the scene. “This assault was unrelated to that.” The injured man was treated at the scene and taken to Kelowna General Hospital. One witness who arrived after the assault said he didn’t see the actual incident. “It was pretty stupid, though,” he said. “It looks like (the victim) got it pretty good.” The investigation is continuing.

▼ SUSTAINABILITY CONFERENCE
Former Liberal leader espouses idea to save agriculture industry
‘‘
Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Sheep farmer Gordon Wilson, the former leader of the B.C. Liberal Party, received lots of support Thursday for his concept of creating an Agricultural Land Trust with a Farmstead Act to support farmers and encourage young people to farm. “It could revolutionalize farming in B.C.,” said Wilson, who told his audience he has no intention of running for the leadership of the party again. Wilson was speaking to delegates at the Building Sustainable Communities conference in the Delta Grand on the topic: The Future of Agricultural Land in B.C.. Also speaking in the session were Sharon McCoubrey, former Agricultural Land Commissioner and UBCO associate professor, and Arthur Fallick, of the Institute for Sustainable Horticulture at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. A show of hands at the session showed just a few in attendance were farmers but most felt agricultural land should be protected. Wilson commented wryly that’s general-

ly how it goes, with nonfarmers wanting farmland protected. We spend millions of dollars on a Crown forestland trust, and we have to find a similar way to preserve farmland with a Crown trust paying farmers based on the land’s productivity, he said. This would encourage farmers to keep the land productive to maintain its value, he argued. He proposes the could be financed by deferring taxes and allowing farmers to lease the land back. In addition to the trust, he said a Farmstead Act could be made to encourage young people to go into farming, while integrating development and productivity of agricultural land with training of farmers. Such an integrated program would make farming an exciting, new,
farmland: it makes communities attractive and draws visitors. She admitted there are challenges such as pressures from both government and farmers to release land from the ALR. But, she’s encouraged by the fact that restaurants are excited about being able to purchase fresh, local food, and consumers are also searching out sources of local food. Young people are concerned about the quality of the food they eat, and are looking for new products, she noted. To those farmers who feel they’ve lost their rights to the ALR, she questioned whether we, as individuals, have the right to get everything we want if it means we are jeopardizing our community’s future. Fallick proposed integrating agriculture more with urban culture and doing research into bioregional agri-food systems which would be more in tune with the ecology and less dependent on global commodities. Since local government is the closest to food production, he said it represents a tremendous opportunity for innovation.
and affordable proposition, he believes. “There has to be an incentive for young people to get involved in farming,” he said. Government decisions that don’t support farmers in any way are “wrongheaded thinking.” It’s also important the land government decides to protected gets the first rights to affordable water to support farming. Asked what people can do to make such a proposal reality, Wilson said a strong lobby would have to made to Victoria for such a land trust and farmer support legislation. McCoubrey said she is thankful to live in a jurisdiction where farmland has been preserved. The ALR has preserved land for farming so we can produce our own food, which is a good thing from the perspective of such issues as the source and quality of care and the fuel used to transport food long distances, she said. There are also environmental aspects to whether the land is used for growing concrete or plants, such as clean air, she added. And, finally, she said there are the esthetics of

Operating budget sees 3.8% increase Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
It will cost households within the Okanagan Regional Library system an estimated $1.50 more annually for library services next year. The library’s $15.4 million budget for 2011 was approved at the library board’s meeting in Kelowna on Wednesday. The total represents a 3.8 per cent increase over this year’s operat-
ing budget, including 2.1 per cent for general operations and 1.6 per cent to cover the costs of a mortgage for construction of a new library in Vernon. A sod-turning for that building was held Monday and the building is slated for completion in the spring of 2012. City of Kelowna residents pay the largest portion of the budget, a total of $4.7 million, while West Kelowna residents pay $1.1 million and Ver-

non residents $1.4 million. ORL executive-director Lesley Dieno said that 2.1 per cent of the increase is partly due to a combination of commitments to union contracts and increases in benefit costs such as premiums for health plans. The board did decide to reduce some on-call hours to replace people who are sick by one or two per cent, so staffing may be tighter in the library system’s branches, she said. An area librarian for the northern branches will help community librarians facilitate training, and provide community service. Money was also included this year to allow staff meetings in the
branches, and there will be more training, she said. As well, $30,000 was added to the collections budget. The Sicamous branch is also moving to larger premises in the coming year. Overall, Dieno said library visits are up over the past year, with the branches in Vernon, Mission and Rutland doing particularly well. The main Kelowna branch experienced a drop in usage in the period of 2003 to 2007 or 2008, she said, but it’s now up again. As a result of a survey of Kelowna residents this year regarding the main branch, she said a committee is looking at a cozier look for the building, and “people want more
books on the shelf.” Although e-book usage is going up, particularly among seniors, she said in other areas print usage is down, but there’s no direct correlation in the figures. In the reference collection, she said they are doing a ‘re-visioning’ and reducing the print portion of the reference collection. She also said the ORL is close to signing an agreement with the Westbank First Nation that would make them full partners in the regional library system.

Trail Mix from A4 siderable volunteer time ensuring the utility is run as efficiently as possible, but who have a vested interest in ensuring that it is also doing its job as professionally and completely as possible—professional staff will be paid to run the utility with just the occasional reference to elected councillors regarding policy issues. Yet these utility board members are the users who live in that particular area, and who use the water, whether for drinking or for irrigation; industrial use or domestic. Often, they have a history with the utility and the region that helps them understand the hows and whys of what happens, which is helpful when deciding what to do about it. On the other hand, staff in a civic government who are charged with maintaining water services would prefer to homogenize all the components so a single decision can be made with respect to all the utilities under their control, whether that decision fits every utility or not. In the Okanagan, there’s nothing homogenous about the delivery of water. Everywhere you look, a different set of circumstances has led to a different source, routing and infrastructure for water. So, each really needs to be treated differently in governance too. For instance, as WID chairman Darren Schlamp noted at Tuesday’s public open house “celebrating” the two districts, the district’s residents own valuable lands which could have been used to reduce the debt incurred in construction of a state-of-the-art treatment plant had the province not stepped in to prevent the sale. He advised residents living in that area and paying for that plant to watch that their interests are protected in terms of how those lands are disposed of and where the proceeds end up. West Kelowna has only committed to maintaining the separate-ness of the two utilities for the coming three years and to then review the situation. There’s a lot of history, some of which should be forgotten, but some of which should not. All of this is true of most of the other irrigation districts or water utilities in this area which are currently governed separately from the municipality or regional district they are in. There are definite advantages to separate governance for such utilities, because they’re lean in staff, but fat in knowledge about that specific local area and the utility. Despite their primitive beginnings—or perhaps because of that—each is a particularly well-run utility in the process or already modernizing operations and making plans for more changes in future. Their locally-elected boards are ideally suited to directing their futures. Let’s hope that’s recognized. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

MLA excited to get yet more ministerial duties Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Shrapnel from one of the most explosive political outbursts in B.C.’s recent history landed on Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson’s plate, and he’s “excited” for the challenge it brings. Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett was kicked out of the Liberal cabinet Wednesday for disparaging premier Gordon Campbell, and his title of energy minister was passed onto Thomson. The responsibility will be added to Thomson’s lead in the Ministry of Natural Resource Operations, which he was handed during the recent cabinet shuffle. “Obviously I’m very excited by the opportunity,” Thomson said. “I recognize there’s a tremendous responsibility with the position, but I’m no stranger to hard work and this will require significant amount of time. “It’s an important ministry for the province… one of the major econom-
Steve Thomson ic drivers in the province.” While the new role will increase Thomson’s workload, Bennett questioned the value of his other ministry during a media scrum following his dismissal. “Steve Thomson’s a first-rate individual and he’s got plunked into the middle of a terrible, awkward situation being the Minister of Natural Resource Operations, and no one knows what in the hell that is exactly,” Bennett said. Campbell has said the reorganization of resource ministries is needed to reduce duplication and red tape for industry, and Thomson reiterated
that sentiment Thursday when asked to comment on his former colleague’s statements. “This is not new, the restructuring has been worked on for a while,” he said. Thomson declined to address individual comments by Bennett, which included characterizing the caucus as sufferers of “battered wife syndrome,” although he did throw his support behind the decision to keep Campbell in place as premier until February—something Bennett was highly critical of. “I am surprised and shocked by his comments…he went beyond the oath of confidentiality that’s expected out of cabinet,” he said. “This is a time we need to continue to make sure we have a smooth transition. Cabinet supports the premier staying there and providing leadership. “We’re all excited about the upcoming leadership campaign.” kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Premier suspends promised 15% tax cut PRE-XMAS â–ź PROVINCE
Tom Fletcher CONTRIBUTOR
After a tumultuous day on that included firing Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett from the cabinet, Premier Gordon Campbell announced the 15 per cent cut to personal income tax promised for the new year has been “suspended.� The income tax cut was the centrepiece of Campbell’s televised address to the province on Oct. 27. A week later, Campbell announced he was resigning, saying public anger at him was obscuring a necessary debate about shifting taxes from income to consumption.
Gordon Campbell In an interview Wednesday, Campbell denied he is losing his grip on the government, with his party at historic lows in public opinion polls and a recall campaign set to begin in December designed to force removal of the harmonized sales tax. Campbell said
Wednesday’s cabinet meeting was the first since he announced his intention to retire on Nov. 3. “What I wanted to do was make sure that we did not in any way tie the hands of the future leader, so the future leader is still in a position where they can follow through with the tax cut should they decide to it, and make it retroactive to Jan. 1,� Campbell said. The B.C. Liberal Party has set Feb. 26 as the date for a province-wide vote of its members to select a new leader. The B.C. government had already notified the Canada Revenue Agency to reduce the amount of provincial tax on the first

$72,000 of personal income, effective Jan. 1. The income tax cut would initially reduce the province’s revenue by about $600 million annually, but Finance Minister Colin Hansen said last week he expected the
stimulus to the consumer economy and the growth of employment would recover the government revenues over time. Campbell also announced that the 2011 throne speech setting out the government’s priorities will be delivered Feb. 14. A “status quo� budget will be tabled the next day, to meet the legislative requirement for government finances. The throne speech will be “limited to outlining the transition period between Feb. 14 and when a new premier is sworn in,� a statement from the premier’s office said. Tom Fletcher is the legislative reporter for Black Press.

No hiring right now for vacant positions at city hall Adjusts from A1 “In terms of growth related items, perhaps we can put them off for a year or two, but they’ll catch up sometime in the future,� he said. So, how will the city make do? The obvious choice will be to raise taxes again and Grayston pointed out that Kelowna, compared to 16 B.C. cities of comparable size, is among the cheapest to live. That said, it doesn’t mean city staff has ambitions to get to the top of the list. “Obviously council will provide the city manager with some guidelines so staff isn’t coming into council with a large increase and council isn’t expecting us to come in with a zero increase,� he said. “When we come to council with the budget Dec. 16 we will have a

Kettle campaign need growing The Salvation Army is hoping for a successfulChristmas Kettle fundraising campaign this year after an unexpected demand in services. The annual campaign launched on Thursday with volunteers staffing 18 kettles throughout Kelowna and West Kelowna. “For many families in the Okanagan the recession is still very real,� said Cyril Chalk, the Salvation Army’s Pastor for Community Ministries. “This past year the demand for our services has
increased by 40 per cent. “For the first time in many years we had to purchase food for our emergency hampers in order to make it to the end of the year.� The money collected through the kettle campaign will go towards funding The Salvation Army’s work in the community. “This past year we helped over 2,400 families at risk with emergency assistance such as food, clothing, basic household items and furniture
through our new Community Life Centre in Rutland,� said Chalk. “We also offer a probono legal advice program, income tax assistance, youth and outreach services including a new lone-parent mentoring program.� For those wishing to make an on-line donation, The Kelowna Salvation Army will be hosting an online iKettle. By visiting www.kelowna.salvationarmy.ca donors can make a donation in any amount using
a credit card and a receipt is then emailed back to the donor within 10 minutes. “Our goal is to raise $225,000 through the regular kettle campaign and $10,000 through the ikettle,� said Chalk. “We expect to provide Christmas hampers to over 600 families with children this year.� In Kelowna 86 per cent of donations go towards programs and services, 10 per cent is spent on administration support and 4 per cent on fundraising.

Health coalition states opposition to IH board of hospital user fees A delegation from the B.C. Health Coalition made a presentation on seniors’ health care issues to the Interior Health board at their meeting in Kelowna yesterday. In particular, the health coalition wanted to know the health authority’s responses to hospital user fees and bed shortages. The IH meeting took place amid a growing province-wide public outcry over the charging of “convalescent care� fees for services previously provided to patients free of charge as required by the Canada Health Act. “Convalescent care fees place an unnecessary burden on patients during their recovery, many of whom are like-
ly to be elderly and suffer from chronic health conditions,� said B.C. Health Coalition co-chair Alice Edge. “British Columbians are saying enough is enough—it is not acceptable to run our health care system on the backs of seniors.� At the meeting, the health coalition representatives learned that there are now 105 beds in the IH region that are labeled “convalescent care� and subject to the daily fee, in addition to 52 flexible “short stay� beds that may be used as “convalescent care� beds. “Today we heard from the health authority that people were not notified that these fees will be charged. Instead, pa-
tients learn of the fees only when they are in hospital and in need of care,� said Edge. She also noted that this latest user fee follows a hike in residential care rates, an increase that has affected an estimated three out of four patients in government-supported residential care. “We reported that we’re hearing from seniors that they are being encouraged to consider legal separation as an option to cope with these residential care fee hikes,� said Rick Turner, co-chair of the Kamloops Health Coalition and a member of the health coalition delegation at the IH meeting. “The IH has an opportunity here to show leader-
ship on these issues.� This week—National Medicare Week in Canada—over 1,000 people have sent emails to B.C. Health Minister Kevin Falcon voicing opposition to convalescent care fees through an online campaign coordinated by the B.C. Health Coalition. Concerned citizens across the province have also met with their MLAs and arranged to make presentations to other health authority boards. “The B.C. Health Coalition is calling on the government to stop charging patients for convalescent care and instead cut long-term costs by fully funding home and community care services,� said Edge.

▼ CRIME
Woman attacked near a bus Police are looking for a man who knocked over a woman as she raced to catch the bus after a grocery shopping trip. The 35-year-old woman was running to catch her bus near Gordon Drive and Sutherland Avenue around 2 p.m. on Saturday when a man on a red bicycle rode up next to her, grabbed the grocery bag and “forcefully pulled the bag away from the woman,” said Const. Steve Holmes. The woman was knocked to the ground and struck the back of her head on the pavement while the culprit roe away, spilling the woman’s groceries on the sidewalk. Police say a passerby helped the woman to the bus stop and two ladies brought her to hospital, where she received treatment for her injury. The suspect is described as Caucasian, 5-foot-10 or 5-foot-11 tall, and was wearing a light grey hoodie, blue jeans and white running shoes. If anyone has any information about this incident and the possible identity of the suspect, they are asked to call the Kelowna RCMP at 250-7623300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Watts not about to disappear
S
urrey’s extremely popular mayor had long enjoyed civic success prior to being tapped by pundits as a frontrunner for leader of the B.C. Liberal party —a title that all but guarantees premiership. However, had Watts chosen to run, she would have become embroiled in the very “cruel” world of provincial politics she says she loathes. Politician versus politician,
camp versus camp, lobby group versus lobby group… and this is merely during any leadership bid, never mind when opposition parties fire their opening shots. Campbell, himself, has done little to make things easy for his eventual successor. Since his resignation speech Nov. 3— in which he neglected to mention he planned to remain at the helm for months—Campbell has not allowed his party to cap-
MAIN SWITCHBOARD
italize on his departure. Instead, a very public Campbell obviously wants the B.C. Liberals to stay the course he set for them. Odds are, whoever wins the party leadership in a vote Feb. 26 will be seen by some as an interim leader, and could easily follow in the smaller footsteps of former premiers Rita Johnston, Dan Miller and Ujal Dosnjh. Anyone with Watts’ political savvy know this.
It could be argued that Watts never had any intention of seeking a higher profile nod than the mayor’s job, but she’s long been wooing the big city media, and the past weeks of speculation have, no doubt, not been unwelcome. It’s probably fair to suggest still, however, that the smart money would be on Watts eying the premiership in, perhaps, the near future.

B.C.’s colourful politics enough to forget ‘losing’ William
W
hile sopping up tears over news it’s Kate Middleton, not I, who will be the next British Royal, a smutty turn in B.C. politics rallied my spirits. “I’m tired of the b------t that goes in politics and I’m really tired of the way Gordon Campbell thinks he can just run on people,” opined Bill Bennett Wednesday afternoon, after he got the boot from caucus. “He can run on me…I can take it. But I’ve seen him do it to other people in our caucus. You have almost a battered wife syndrome inside our caucus today, inside our cabinet. “It’s really sad, and all the man has to do to give the B.C. Liberal party a chance to renew itself is to leave.”
While the public tongue-lashing was entertaining enough to make this news wonk swoon, the message didn’t quite hit the spot. First, it’s a bit difficult to imagine the likes of ministers Rich Coleman, Kevin Falcon or even Kelowna’s Steve Thomson as beleaguered entities, squashed under the thumb of their dear leader. But mostly it’s harder to imagine that all that’s wrong with the party, and in turn B.C., is the preternaturally preserved Gordon Campbell. Right now he’s the perfect post-
er boy for sins against
KATHARTIC our collective comfort.
He’s led the government through some egregious mistakes in process, but he never did become a dictator and there are a Kathy whole lot of politicos Michaels who were lockstep with his movements. The fact is, his harem of “battered wives” have fallen in the esteem of their constituents for a variety of reasons that only became relevant when British Columbians took a hit to their pocketbooks. Some empirical evidence about their standing is offered in the results of a Nov. 5 Angus Reid poll. Their
figures say, 47 per cent of decided voters across B.C. would cast a ballot for the NDP candidate in their riding if a provincial election were held tomorrow. B.C. Liberals are in second place with 26 per cent and the Green Party is third with 10 per cent, tied with the B.C. Conservative Party for the first time. Seven per cent of respondents would support other parties or vote for independent candidates. While it’s interesting to see a change taking shape, it’s less heartening when you realize there isn’t a political phoenix rising from Campbell’s ashes from within or beyond the Liberal party. With the closest thing being the
NDP, that would place Carole James in the spotlight, but she appears to be at the helm of another train wreck in the making. She recently gave freespeaking Bob Simpson the boot, in much the same manner Bennett got his, and her personal approval rating is just 25 per cent, according to the same Angus Reid Public poll, putting her 22 per cent behind the NDP’s own 47 per cent support. It’s still early days in the political change-up. But if nothing else it’s become increasingly clear that B.C. needs its Prince/Princess Charming to come to the rescue. A-hem.

LETTERS
▼ EVOLUTION/CREATION
Ignoring creationists is business as usual To the editor: Guy King writes in his Nov. 14 letter to the editor: “Reviews of Dawkins’ book (The Greatest Show on Earth) have been unfailingly positive, with the Times of London reviewer stating: ‘Creationism and intelligent design are organized obscurantism. There is nothing left of them once Dawkins has finished. It is a magnificent book.’” “On the other hand, the only positive reviews of Sarfati’s book appear in such publications as Creation Magazine. In the mainstream media it appears to have been totally ignored.” Jonathan Sarfati’s newest book is The Greatest Hoax on Earth? Refuting Dawkins on Evolution (http://creation.com/the-greatest-hoax-on-earth/introduction.php). While not found in the mainstream media,
Cornell University professor Dr. John Sanford, pioneer of plant genetic engineering and inventor of the gene gun has commented: “In my opinion Sarfati’s book beats Dawkins’ book point by point, on all issues.” If the book has been totally ignored by the mainstream media, why is that unusual? While evolutionists such as Dawkins have appeared on CBC programs such as Quirks & Quarks, The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos, The Current, and even the religion program, Tapestry, no creationary scientists such as John Baumgardner, Russell Humphreys, Kurt Wise, Sigrid Hartwig-Scherer, or Werner Gitt ever have. Is this because creationary scientists don’t conduct scientific research, or is it because of other reasons? On the PBS documentary In the Beginning:
The Creationist Controversy, Phillip Johnson, author of Darwin on Trial, commented: “Darwinian theory is the creation myth of our culture. It’s the officially sponsored, government financed creation myth that the public is supposed to believe in, and that creates the evolutionary scientists as the priesthood…So we have the priesthood of naturalism, which has great cultural authority, and of course has to protect its mystery that gives it that authority. That’s why they’re so vicious towards critics.” To view a recent two-part TV interview with Jonathan Sarfati, go to http://100huntley. com/video.php?id=NxJMMpTgDDo) and (http://100huntley.com/video.php?id=QqjFb-MIGw).

▼ PROVINCIAL POLITICS
Let the gullible to vote any way they like To the editor: Low and behold the B.C. premier has finally resigned. Isn’t it preposterous that he wasted in excess of $240,000 of our monies on a TV commercial in an attempt to praise his performance and popularity and then make a snap decision to give up his throne the following day. How coincidental. Now the media, including Ms. Nicholl, (Timely To Likely Hurt the NDP, Nov. 7 Cap-
ital News) says: “We can all count on another Liberal government in the next provincial election.” What an unselfish remark. Don’t be disgruntled with the HST in place, it has been legislated and here to stay as it is now most difficult to revoke. Several of us are aware that Gallup polls that are conducted, likely at our expense, are an attempt to influence the gullible persons the way in which to place their Xs on the ballot and vote for that particular politician.
This ridiculous procedure should be abandoned and allow the gullible the right to make their own decision. Let’s all work together and elect an honest, sincere and trustworthy government (if that is ever possible) and provide the needs for us elderly—hospitalization, medication and, most importantly, education for our children who represent the future for all of us in one of the better provinces of our great country.

▼ RULES REWRITTEN
‘Rules of war’ have apparently changed To the editor: After reading Shelley Nicholl’s views on Omar Khadr (Freeing a Teenager Terrorist from Harm’s Way, Nov. 12 Capital News), I realized that it’s time to inform Canadians of the new ‘rules of war,’ as (apparently) proclaimed by the U.S. government. • The USA is allowed to invade any country it considers a ‘credible threat’ (credible to them, at least) • A country invaded by the USA is not allowed to re-
sist the invasion; if they do, they are considered terrorists • Although the USA may be invading a sovereign nation to fight ‘the war on terror,’ the resisting, armed fighters are not ‘soldiers,’ therefore they are not covered by the Geneva Convention on the treatment of prisoners of ‘war’ • Since those defending their sovereign territory are ‘terrorists,’ even if they are child soldiers as defined by the UN Convention on the Rights of the
Child, the USA does not recognize them as such, and regards them as adult combatants • A ‘terrorist’ defending his territory who kills a uniformed American soldier is guilty of murder, and can be tried and convicted of same • An American soldier who kills a civilian in the invaded country is a ‘war hero’ and must have had a good reason, therefore no charge can be brought against him • The USA can apply tor-
Helicopter flight paths rattle pictures on walls To the editor: In regards to Westside helicopters: Alpine and Wildcat. Transport Canada has a flight path (weather permitting) for these machines—that is over the gravel pits through the mountain gap. Alpine, especially, seems to have their own—over residential areas such as Westridge Estates, Peak Point and Rose Valley, all heavily populated. One pilot actually flies so low the
pictures on the wall vibrate. On a phone call a while back to the above, basically they said they were there first. Out of thousands of flights a year, one would think if there was a problem, it would be better to be out of a populated area. After saying all this, we are very thankful for their expertise and dedication in the fire season. D. Gooch, West Kelowna
ture to prisoners of ‘war,’ and use the resulting ‘intelligence’ obtained therefrom to convict said prisoners of ‘war crimes’ • If countries not in the American entourage use torture, they must be soundly denounced for their ‘dismal human rights record’ • Suspected terrorists rounded up by American forces can be transported to any convenient prison, and held for any length of time, completely outside the rule of law of any
jurisdiction. Oh, and as Ms. Nichol apparently believes, an ‘accused terrorist’ is guilty until proven innocent, and will continue to be considered a terrorist even if he manages to prove innocence. Welcome to the 21st century—the century when we suddenly turned the celestial calendar back to the Dark Ages. John Krzyzewski, West Kelowna

or years, the placebo effect has baffled doctors and scientists. People taking inactive medications really do get better to a certain extent and there has been much questioning as to why this happens and exactly what triggers the power of the placebo. Placebos are used in virtually all clinical research. New medications are tested against inactive ones to ensure the medicine is truly helping people get better. Study volunteers do not know whether they are receiving the fake medicine or the real one and in order for the new drug to be deemed effective, it has to be shown to work better than the placebo. Although it may seem as though the group taking the real medicine would stick out very obviously from those taking the fake drug, many people do experience significant improvement just taking the placebo. Until fairly recently, this was deemed to be almost entirely a psychological effect. When we believe we are getting better, our

Paul Latimer body tricks us into feeling a bit better. Some research over the past couple of years has finally quantified a mind-body connection showing our physiology does indeed react to placebo. Most recently, a study of Parkinson’s Disease patients completed out of UBC found the placebo effect was maximized when study volunteers were told they had a good chance of getting the real treatment instead of a sugar pill but were still kept somewhat unsure. In this study of placebo, all volunteers received inactive medication. Equal numbers were told they had a 25, 50, 75 or 100 per cent chance of getting real medicine. Those who were told they had a 75 percent chance of getting the active drugs experienced the most significant improvement. It seems the hope of

where healthy volunteers were given painful stimuli and told they were receiving medicine to ease their pain. In this case, the volunteers’ brains released endorphins to block pain receptors when they were told they were receiving medication. Although it is interesting and valuable to learn how the placebo response works as it may be a useful tool to augment effective treatment, it is dangerous to assume replacing active medication with placebo would yield long term results. In cases of serious, chronic or life-threatening illness, the person may feel better but still die sooner if not using an effective treatment. Generally, placebo effect does not last indefinitely. In psychiatry placebo effects are generally short-lived and do not eliminate all symptoms or lead to lasting improvement in a person’s ability to function.

real treatment coupled with uncertainty stimulated the brain’s reward system and their brains produced significant amounts of dopamine—a chemical key to reward that is also lacking in the brains of Parkinson’s sufferers. No dopamine response occurred in those given placebo after being told they had only a 25 or 50 per cent response and interestingly, no response occurred for those told they had a 100 percent chance of real medicine either. These findings showed that a person’s expectations directly regulate the power of the placebo by stimulating the brain’s reaction. More research into different conditions including chronic pain, depression and others are needed to see whether this effect would be the same. In Parkinson’s disease, the brain’s reward system is abnormal, so there are questions remaining about whether some response might happen at lower expectations in those with normal reward systems. This study is somewhat similar to another one completed in the U.S. a couple of years ago

Cyclists still trying to figure out green bike lane directions
T
he green bike lanes work. This comes from the City of Kelowna, which has decided to keep the keeny greeny easy to mark in your brain super lanes for cyclists. Here on Enterprise Way, they initially made a huge difference, but I have to admit, once you’ve seen them a few times, your brain sort of logs the situation and you almost forget they’re there again—until someone comes flying toward you in the opposite direction. I don’t know whether it’s because the lanes are green now and more cyclists feel comfortable using them—which would be a good thing—but down here in the depths of
WORDSMITH
Jennifer Smith car lot deprivation, there’s a few more cyclists using our great wide shoulders in the worst way possible. Ass backward. Now we jest, but there is good reason to follow the rules of the road and unfortunately, a suehappy American in Waterbury, Conn., is out to demonstrate the pitfalls of ignoring regulatory controls. After killing a 14year-old by passing on the inside at near twice the
posted speed limit, he has decided to sue the boy’s parents for the damages he has incurred as a result of the accident. As he is sitting in a prison cell for the next ten years, he contends his loss of freedom is worth $15,000 and that the boy’s parents are guilty of “contributory negligence” for not ensuring he was wearing a helmet before going out on the road. One sincerely hopes he will not succeed in this lawsuit, but the whole incident speaks to a few important points. First, it’s pretty important to follow the rules of the road, including wearing a helmet, as they are put in place to protect you from injury.
Second, it’s not worth giving others a point to dicker on if something does go wrong. Riding down the wrong side of the road is really jarring for drivers, not to mention the other cyclists who, even as it rains and blusters, might still be heading your way on the road. Studies have consistently shown riding down the sidewalk to be a dangerous practice because our brains are trained to process information in the manner we’re expecting. Drivers pulling out of their driveways are looking for people coming toward them at walking speed and, I guess, the cyclists doesn’t really register when moving faster.

ber things so I think we can look at our new green bike lanes in a few different lights. For one, they’re pretty and remind us that cycling is good for the environment and that drivers need to respect a cyclists’ right to a space on the road. But one can also remember that green is the colour of American money and a nasty American man is about to cost some poor kid’s parents a lot of green over breaking the “wear a helmet” rule. The rule that could cost you a lot of green is the travel with traffic rule (you know, among others). Cyclists have to operate like any other driver and that means driving in the same direction as
the other cars, even in the bike lane. While you’re probably not likely to get a ticket over the issue, if you read this newspaper enough you’ll know that cyclists don’t tend to win confrontations over space on the asphalt with cars. I don’t know whether the painted colours actually stop drivers from jumping over into the bike lane, but they’re a good reminder for cyclists that not paying attention and following the rules can cost us a lot of green at the end of the day. The injuries cars cause alone can take weeks to recover from and that’s a lot of pay cheques missed for those of us tied to a job. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Some of the leading research indicates it can be twice as dangerous to ride on the sidewalk as the road; so one can assume, travelling on the wrong side of the road will have similarly dismal results as drivers really are not expecting to see a cyclist there. Heading into a very tight municipal budget season, there’s a good chance regular road maintenance levels might not get quite the attention they deserve this year so throwing in a few extra obstacles, like someone on a mountain bike heading toward cars while swerving to avoid a nail, could really cause some trouble. I like word associations to help me remem-
very Thursday evening, my friends and I get together for a walk, a light-hearted social event or just a friendly chat over a cup of tea. And when we get together, do you know what we talk about? Menopause!
We talk about how horrible it is to wake up umpteen times in the middle of the night because of night sweats. We talk about how unbearable our partners and families have become because we are endlessly frustrated and agitated. Agitated about what? Because we are suffering from up-and-down mood swings, uncontrollable weight gain and we just can’t seem to get a good night’s sleep. And that’s just the beginning. We call hot flashes our own “private Caribbean vacations.” Some of my girlfriends carry a towel to dry themselves off after their hot flashes. There’s also anxiety attacks and other health problems including vaginal dryness, nausea and tons of weight gain. Menopause really sucks. It seems that as we age, our metabolism changes, generally slowing down, causing the body to function at a much slower rate. Less estrogen is produced causing hormone fluctuations. These hormonal fluctuations are thought to be the cause of many of the adverse symptoms.
And as if that wasn’t enough, about eight years ago, a major clinical study on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) was abruptly stopped after results showed the overall risks of HRT far outweighed the benefits! This included an increased risk of breast cancer, heart disease, stroke and blood clots. Thanks, but no thanks. So what’s a 50-something woman supposed to do? That’s one of the many things we talk about on Thursday nights and, what we have discovered is that there are some very effective natural remedies for the symptoms of menopause. Like MenoSense. MenoSense is a natural formula with Black Cohosh, ideal for improving menopause symptoms. And Chasteberry, to help restore your estrogen/progesterone balance plus Dong Quai, to help relieve the symptoms of menopause, especially your hot flashes. If you want help to relieve the symptoms of menopause, visit Nature’s Fare Markets and ask a b o u t MenoSense. You’ll be very glad you did.

Professor building a case for corporate criminal intent Jody Jacob CONTRIBUTOR
Guilty minds and criminal intent are not just for people, says UBC Okanagan philosophy professor Roger Shiner. He’s making a case that these legal concepts ought to apply to corporations. Shiner has received $67,466 from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council
(SSHRC) to develop his theory for the criminalization of corporate wrongdoing. “Corporations can cause harm in much the same way that human beings cause harm,” explains Shiner. “Our legal system is a public mechanism for holding individuals accountable for the harm that they do, especially the criminal law.” Despite the kind of

harm corporations do— whether they act in careless ways that result in death or environmental damage, for example— Shiner says corporations are very rarely charged with criminal offences. “If done by an individual, he or she would be charged under the criminal law,” he says. “My fundamental interest is finding out why that is, and making a pitch that this shouldn’t be the case.” One of the issues Shiner is examining is how the courts find it difficult to apply to corporations the standard conditions for criminal guilt or criminal
fault. “For example, take the legal term Mens Rea—the guilty mind,” says Shiner. “If you or I ought to be found guilty of a criminal offence the court has to prove we knew what we were doing—meaning we did it intentionally or knowingly or recklessly. “How do you apply terms like that to corporations?” he asks. “The usual argument is that we can’t apply it to corporations because they don’t have minds. “So a big part of my research is really to take that question on—to look at exactly what it is to attribute an intention to some-
body, and to try and show there is really no problem in treating corporations in the same way.” The second part of Shiner’s research addresses the notion of strict liability—the idea that you can be held criminally liable just because you caused the harm, without further investigation into intent. “And of course everybody says that would be a horrible thing to do to a person,” says Shiner. “You can’t subject persons to strict liability, and again the tendency in both the legal and philosophical literature is to think the same would be true of
corporations. “I want to show that, no, it isn’t. The moral reasons for not subjecting persons to strict liability don’t apply to corporations. “So there is nothing wrong, in principle, in subjecting corporations to strict liability, even under the Criminal Code.” Shiner argues that the reasons for not subjecting persons to strict liability have to do with their moral status as natural persons. “Persons are ends in themselves, and should be treated as such. Corporations may be legal persons, but they are not nat-
ural persons,” he says. “The Supreme Court has recognized this legally in not extending to corporations some of the protections the Charter affords to natural persons.” In time, Shiner hopes his research could have an impact on the design and application of the law in Canada. “If someone said we have to start looking at these corporate cases differently, or we have got to start prosecuting where we didn’t before, or we have to change the way we are handling the regulation of corporations, that would be the ultimate payoff for me.”

Quick thinking by cop lands car thief in jail Thanks to an observant and quick thinking police officer, a car thief is behind bars. On Nov. 15 at around 1:30 a.m., the Lake Country RCMP member, who was parked on Old Vernon Road and Highway 97, spotted a Toyota pickup that matched the description of a suspect vehicle involved in a Commercial Break and
Enter in the 2500 block of Acland Road just over an hour earlier. The officer drove behind the southbound vehicle, without his emergency equipment activated, and was looking for a safe place to pull it over, when the suspect vehicle suddenly jumped the median and went across the oncoming lane onto McCurdy Road.
When the pickup turned on to Franklin Road from McCurdy, the officer activated his emergency equipment but the suspect vehicle sped away. The pickup attempted to turn left from Franklin onto Houghton, but was traveling too fast and the pickup struck a short steel pole and became stuck on it.
The male driver ran from the vehicle but was quickly apprehended by police a short distance away. Police later confirmed that the pickup had been stolen from Kelowna. Cass Gustavson,32, of Kelowna, will be facing charges of Flight from Police, Dangerous Driving, Possession of Stolen Property and Driving
while Disqualified. Gustavson has been remanded to Kamloops and will appear in court, via video conference, at a future date.
UBCO to celebrate German culture Wednesday, Dec. 1, will be German Culture Day at UBC’s Okanagan campus. Students in the Beginners’ German class are putting together a smallscale exhibitions on various aspects of German culture, and the public is invited to participate. From 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., students will have information on specific topics, food, and various games or ways of introducing the material to those visiting, says Claude Desmarais, UBCO Reichwald Professor in Germanic Studies. It will be followed by Little German Christmas, during which the community is invited to join with students in carol singing until about 11:30 a.m. “The idea is to exchange thoughts on what German culture means to various people, and to have fun and enjoy some food as well,” said Desmarais. All the activities will take place in the Atrium of the Arts Building on the UBCO campus.

Study finds link to depression due to physical inactivity A recent article in the British Journal of Psychiatry demonstrated that taking part in regular physical activity of even light to moderate intensity, can lead to a decrease in depression. This relationship has been long suspected, but that there is now proof that in treatment of any depressive disorder, regular exercise is a must. Dr. Samuel Harvey, of the Institute of Psychiatry at King’s College in London, England, the lead author of the study, stated “Even relatively light activity was associated with significantly less depressive symptoms.” In this study of more than 40,000 individuals, investigators were quick to point out that the individuals who were not active were twice as likely to have symptoms of de-

The study was clear in stating that there was no association between workplace exertion‚ such as heavy-lifting, and decrease symptoms of depression. Previously, most studies have looked at intense exercise and their affiliation with a decrease symptoms of depression. This is the first study that looked at light to moderate exertion. And the relationship was most positive. In the study, half of
the population was female with the other half being male. The authors defined light activity as any activity that does not lead to being sweaty or out of breath. In the most cases of depression there always seems to be an element of anxiety to some degree. The researchers found that there was not only improvement in the level of depression experienced by the study participants, but they also found that their anxiety levels decreased as well. It is my firm belief that the body is literally hardwired for movement. When one studies the brain, one realizes that the great majority or spinal cord and the cerebellum, the movement part of our brain, is dedicated to keeping us on the go. Simply look at the
cross-section of the spinal cord and one will see that over 70 per cent of the input going through the spinal cord has something to do with movement. We are supposed to move. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, I know that the number of spinal reflexes and vast degree of proprioceptive feedback to the brain, as a result of movement, normalizes the nervous system. This allows for full body and mind normalization. Our society is centered around sitting and a sedentary lifestyle. We drive to work, we sit at work, we drive home, we sit at home. Then we go to bed. This is not in keeping with how we are made. Simply put, the body is much like a river. It should always be moving and it should avoid the
stasis found in that of a stagnant pond. Smelly things tend to
grow in dormant water, rivers yield life. Dr. Markus Thiel is a
chiropractor practicing in Kelowna. askdrhtiel@shaw.ca.

Genetically modified food debate position taken by Ottawa defended
C
Telling your story most accurately — the Capital News
-474, An Act respecting the Seeds Regulations (analysis of potential harm), has generated a lot of attention in the local media because a small but committed group of folks who are against genetically modified (GM) food believe that C-474 supports their position. In fact, this bill is neither about support for, nor opposition to, the use or manufacture of genetically modified agricultural products. C-474 does not remove from our food system currently used GM crops like corn, canola or
Ron Cannan soy. It does not require labeling of GM foods. It does not stop the import to Canada of new GM crops from other countries. Bill C-474 is about halting the production of

any new Canadian GM seeds and crops if there is the potential they could harm export markets. On this basis, while a majority of importing countries may accept a GM product and a small minority may reject it, Canada’s access to the entire world market would be lost to our producers because of the potential risk of a GM product being exported to a non-accepting market. Canada is the fifth largest producer of GM crops in the world. Canola and thus canola oil, known widely for its health benefits, is one such crop. Ninety per cent of the crop is genetically modified with a majority of our production going to export markets. It is a major Canadian agricultural success story. As with all crops, canola had to undergo a rigorous health, safety and environmental regulatory review. The Canadian regulatory system is one of the most comprehensive and respected science-based systems in the world, which has given Canada substantial international credibility. It was this system which led to a resolution of the BSE crisis. Canada’s science based regulatory system, not unfounded fears, reopened international borders for Canadian beef. More importantly, we did not stop beef production or sale because certain countries rejected our meat. The same principle needs to apply here. We should not shut down an entire agricultural sector simply because other countries fear genetically modified food. As well, there is compelling scientific evidence that halting GM production would be doing more harm than good.

The United Nations predicts the world population will peak at 9.1 billion by 2050. That means the world will require a 70 per cent increase in food production to meet the rise in demand. Smart, safe, secure application of GM seeds and crops will play an important role in the international community’s contribution to addressing world hunger and malnutrition, an effort that will depend on our willingness to develop new food and agricultural technology, including GM crops that can adapt to drought and floods attributed to climate change. Under C-474, Canada could not participate. As a father, I want to know that our food is safe for consumption. As an elected official, I must vote responsibly and ensure that C-474 creates more benefit than harm. I have listened carefully to the concerns of my constituents opposed to genetically modified food. I have learned more about Canada’s GM crop production and I have reviewed the health, safety and environmental regulations that are in place. After considering both sides of the debate I have concluded that GM seeds and crops, properly regulated, play an important role in the future of agriculture in Canada and in the world. C-474, if passed would put in jeopardy Canada’s significant contribution to the production of safe, reliable GM crops and would irreparably harm our competitiveness, our farmers and our export markets. While I know that this will be unpopular with some of my constituents, I can honestly say that I have done my best to make the right decision. Facts rather than fear, broad rather than narrow agendas and solutions that ensure the benefits outweigh the risks— this must be the basis of our agriculture policies and any policies we set in place in the future.

Stars lure us with light, hope and love into the unknown C ‘‘ andles and fire and the stars— these are the symbols of this most blessed of all seasons.

SOUL SEARCHING
Linda Horton longest night of the year, I think of these words writ-
ten by Herbert Hitchen. I remember being a child, living away from city lights, a child whose first spontaneous religious impulses were triggered by the night sky. My dad often took the time of an evening to walk outside with me, to name the stars and to tell me their stories. I remember being awed by distances incom-
prehensible to me, and struggling to frame the question: How could the universe go on forever? And if it has an end, what is on the other side of the end? My young mind could not conceive that either thing could be true—that the universe could be infinite, or that it could end —for then wouldn’t there have to be something on
the other side? By the age of 8, it was clear to me that there were mysteries beyond human comprehension, for reality was much larger and much stranger than the small circle of events that directly impacted my young life. Since our race began, humans have turned to the stars in the night sky to help put a larger frame around their place in the universe. Until a few centuries ago, it was believed that these celestial lights revolved around the earth. What we have now discovered about the billions of galaxies extending to the threshold of time as we know it is even more awe-inspiring. Stars represent the light, the hope, the love that lures us into the unknown—as explorers of ages past trusted the stars when they sailed beyond sight of land. Stars also represent a vantage point from “on high,” a wider view, a bigger picture. When we are called by a Christmas carol to “rise up and follow” the star, we are being called

out of our comfortable, predictable lives. Challenged to step outside of our cocoon of privilege and denial and see clearly the reality of suffering and injustice. Sometimes we may even be called to leave the responsibilities that define our place in the world. That teaching of Jesus of Nazareth was controversial, then and now. “Leave your sheep, and leave your lambs” has always seemed like foolish advice to our practical minds. But sometimes it is exactly what we need for
the deeper health of our spirits and the healing of our world. Whatever our faith traditions, we are all called to be keepers of the sacred flames that make light the windows of the world. What star do you follow as we draw near to the turning of the year? What star beckons to you that you have yet to find the courage to follow? As we open our hearts in this season of reborn light, may the Christmas star make bright our hopes. May it guide us to new birth, calling us to ‘shake and change a stony earth” as bearers of love in a hurting world. May we find the courage and imagination to follow the stars that beckon us, so that someday our earth will indeed resound with alleluias. Someday— “when peace has shown us wise.” Someday—when God with us” dwells in all our hearts. Someday—perhaps this very moment. Rev. Linda Weaver Horton is with the Unitarian Fellowship of Kelowna.

was a bathtub big enough for her growing son to use with assistance. “We couldn’t get him in there, he’s too big.” When she approached the society, they agreed to put $6,000 in renovations into Denise’s bathroom to make it usable for Taylor. “The Society of Hope is just a wonderful society, they’ve done lots of good things for everybody.” Denise went back to school and now works at Kelowna General Hospital sterilizing surgical instruments. She noted the rent has gone up in the complex, but it is still a great place to live for Taylor’s needs. msimmons@kelownacapnews.com

o you ever wonder who is going to do your job once you retire? Will the job stay the same or will it change? And do you ever wonder once you leave if your employer will even replace you or not? Replacing employees who leave or retire is starting to become a big issue in Canada. A recent report by the Association of Canadian Community Colleges, titled “Canada’s Demographic and Advanced Skills Crisis: People without Jobs, Jobs without People,” isn’t what I would coin bedtime reading if you want to sleep soundly. In fact, some of the statistics are quite alarming if you consider what the fallout would be if we don’t have a qualified work force. Based on baby-boomer retirements, 57 per cent
economy. The two are closely related, it seems that the knowledge economy takes one step forward where information is used to drive knowledge and in turn this knowledge will drive economic and social development. For example, let’s say a group of Canadian engineers use their knowledge to help you heat your home more efficiently in the winter. This knowledge doesn’t just lower your heating bill, but it pro-
vides lower costs to all sectors of the economy plus it helps decrease the use of other heating options which negatively impact the environment. Through the application of this knowledge your disposable income has increased (you can now spend more money at the mall which is a benefit to the retail sector), and manufacturing can hopefully lower their costs and pass these on to you. And to get this type of heating into every home

and business in Canada will probably require specific training and expertise by qualified technicians; hence this new knowledge has now created a number of new jobs. All Canadians now reap the benefit of this knowledge as it is passed down to us through its ability to lower the cost of heating. So where do post-secondary institutions come into play? Chances are without their university education and other supports, those
Canadian engineers may never have found a better way to heat our homes. Being part of the knowledge economy means having the skills to provide the labour market with the type of worker it is looking for. To get those skills you will most likely need a post-secondary credential and then you won’t have to be worried about being unemployed.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if you actually exist; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen you in the morning because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sleeping. But rumour has it that some people wake up refreshed without four reminders from a blaring alarm and manage to move through the usual early events without stress or timemanagement issues. I know, I know; it sounds incredible, like pixies with natural smiley faces whisking to and fro with glee. It kind of makes you want to take a fly swatter to them. So, for the rest of us who sleep-walk into the shower with blurred vision, bumping the dresser and door knob along the way, and can only grunt until a full cup of coffee has been downed, I can offer ways to help you sleep in almost an extra hour every day. First of all, how much time do we really need to get ready? Seriously, do you really have to have clean, combed hair? Do children need breakfast and lunch? Do your shoes have to match? Ignoring these details could save us wads of time. Not surprisingly, men donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take as much time to get ready as women, ac-
NUT SHELL
Shelley Nicholl cording to a study by the British department store Debenhams done in June 2010. Personally, I have never had to fight a man for the hair straightener or mascara, so it must be true. But, the most important part about the study was that while we start out on Monday morning clocking in an average of 76 minutes getting ready, by Friday, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re down to 19 minutes. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost 75 per cent less time. My assumption from this is either we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care less by Friday and value our sleep more than our face and dental hygiene or weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve figured out how to be way more efficient by Friday and then forget the whole thing by Monday. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of like that movie Ground Hog Day. What we need to do is have little notes written for ourselves, so we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t repeat the whole sequence and start right off with that record-breaking
19-minute time. First of all, we should forget the shower; you can leave that to the weekend. We have hairbands, hats and cologne. Bring an air freshener to work and no one will notice. We can eat a granola bar at work. Who cares about crumbs and greasy fingerprints on the computer? Chew a stick of gum afterwards. Grab the clothes you wore yesterday. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be at the top of the pile and less wrinkled than Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outfit. No one will notice and if they do, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be preoccupied thinking you had a wild time the night before and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it home. Just hope the other person in your office wearing yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothes is someone you like and wink at them often. Your children pose a serious threat to timely mornings. Perhaps having them sleep in their clothes and eat toast before they sleep might help speed things up. Lunch would have to be made and all important notices signed the night before, which could be a challenge to those with fading memory storage.

The agony with children is prying them out of bed and having to be their personal alarm clock. They get snarly when you blind them with the overhead light and jump on them, even gently. Just remind yourself that you deserve the sleep more than they do and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing the right thing. Bathroom schedules would have to be coordinated in advance. No one can fall asleep on the toilet; it would take too much time. You would not have the luxury to think about anything in a quick turnaround time; the belt and shoe choices cannot be second-guessed. Then, once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the car, loaded with the appropriate people, you must drive away immediatelyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;no running back into the house for something you forgot, unless itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the car keys, which impede progress. You may feel greasy, wrinkled and hungry, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have gained almost five hours of sleep in the week. Nothing can compare with that. Just caution your co-workers to get noseplugs.

With partners like A &W, we are working to sustain our research efforts to find effective control and a cure for cystic fibrosis, a truly devastating disease,” said Jody Birnie, president, Okanagan Valley chapter of the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. “It is an honour to do what we can for the children and young adults living with cystic fibrosis,” said a spokesman for A&W. “It is also one of the ways that we can give back to the communities in which we live and operate. Mark it down. December 4. All are invited.” Cystic fibrosis affects the lungs and the digestive system. It is the most common, fatal, genetic disease affecting Canadian children
and young adults. In the digestive tract, CF blocks the absorption of adequate nutrients from food. In the lungs, the effects of the disease are most devastating. With time, respiratory problems become increasingly severe. Ultimately, most CF deaths are due to lung disease. The Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is a Canada-wide health charity, with 50 volunteer chapters, that fund CF research and care. In 2009, the foundation supported more than 50 research projects, exploring all aspects of the CF puzzle—from investigating new methods of fighting infection and inflammation in the lungs, to finding new therapies that target the basic defect at a cellular level.

Rockets rookie duo to play in U-17 worlds Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Dan Lambert knows from personal experience the thrill of wearing his country’s colours in international competition. So the Kelowna Rockets assistant coach has a pretty good take on how Damon Severson and Colton Heffley will be feeling when they don the red and white next month at the World Under-17 Challenge in Manitoba. The Rockets rookie duo was named this week to the Team West roster, made up of players born in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. “I think the experience they’re going to get from this will be a very positive one,” said Lambert who played for Canada at the 1989 world junior championship in Alaska. “Even with Team West, they’re going to get a sense of representing an area bigger than just your city or your province. They are representing Canada as well and that will be a great honour for them to always remember.” Severson, from Melville, Sask., and Heffley,

Portage la Prairie. It’s an opportunity Severson plans to make the most of. “It’s a great honour to
be named to Team West,” said Severson, the offensively gifted 16-yearold defenceman who has two goals and six points
in 20 games with Kelowna. “I’m going there to try and play my best and learn what I can. It’s my first international experience, so I’m pretty excited.” As for Heffley, wearing the Maple Leaf has been a lifelong goal. “I’m really excited to go, I thought maybe I had a chance but I wasn’t so sure I’d get picked,” said the lanky Heffley, who has a goal and an assist in four games since joining the Rockets in early November. “It’s been a dream of mine since I started skating to play for Canada, so hopefully this is just the beginning.” And if all goes well for Severson and Heffley on their maiden voyages, Dan Lambert said it
could mark the beginning of a long association with Hockey Canada for the young duo. “It gives them a chance to play with and against their peers and show Canada what they can do,” he said. “A lot of times in these situations, Canada is very loyal to its players. If you make a good first impression, you tend to stay on their radar for a long time.”

T-Bird’s Hickman chosen for Team Pacific Kelowna Minor Hockey product Justin Hickman will pull on the Team Pacific jersey next month at the 2011 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge. The 16-year-old forward for the Seattle Thunderbirds was one of 11 B.C.-bred players named to the Team Pacific roster for the annual tournament Dec. 28 to Jan. 4 in Winnipeg. Hickman, a second-
Justin Hickman round WHL bantam draft pick of the T-Birds in
2009, has played in just five games with Seattle due to injury this season and wasn’t sure such a short audition would be enough to make the grade. But the Team Pacific staff clearly like what they had already seen from the 6-foot-2 195 pound forward. “I was actually a little shocked when they told me,” said Hickman. “I haven’t played much,
so I didn’t think I’d have a shot. “It’s great to make it and I’m excited to have a chance to play against the best 16-year-olds in the world. Playing for your country and wearing the Maple Leaf is every kid’s dream.” A fractured hand, suffered in a fight during Thunderbirds training camp in September, kept Hickman out of action for six weeks before
he played his first WHL game on Nov. 7 in Moose Jaw. In five games with Seattle, Hickman has registered no points and two penalty minutes. He played last season with the Okanagan Rockets of the B.C. Major Midget League. In 200910, he had 13 goals and 12 assists in 38 games. Hickman and Team Pacific—consisting of 11 players each from Alberta
and B.C.—will play an exhibition game at the U-17 Challenge on Dec. 28 against Germany. Their first tournament game is Dec. 29 against Team West. Six countries and 10 teams are represented at the annual tourney— USA, Germany, Finland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Canada West, Canada Pacific, Canada Ontario, Canada Quebec and Canada Atlantic.

Rockets trade defence Antoine Corbin’s days in a Kelowna Rockets uniform ended this week when the WHL club dealt the 18-year-old defenceman to the Prince Albert Raiders. In exchange, the Rockets receive a third-round pick in the 2012 bantam draft. With eight defencemen on the roster and the Rockets making a commitment to developing their younger talent, there wasn’t enough playing time to keep Corbin happy. “Antoine was looking for more ice time than we were prepared to give him in light of the play of some of our younger players,” said Rockets president and general manager Bruce Hamilton. “Prince Albert is excited to get him as they feel he will fit into their team very well.” Corbin joined the Rockets last season after spending the 2008-09 campaign with Kelowna’s Pursuit of Excellence program. Last season, the 6-foot-2 195 pound rearguard had five goals and 14 points in 60 games. In 2010-11, Corbin had two goals, two assists and 25 penalty minutes in 11 games.

Kelowna skaters shine at sectionals The comforts of home ice and the support and family and friends turned out to be a winning formula for the BMO Kelowna Centre for Skating Excellence. The Kelowna Skating Club turned in its best medal haul ever at the B.C./Yukon Sectional Championships last week at the Capital News Centre. With eight medals, it was the most ever won by the Kelowna club at the regional finals, and also the most by any club in B.C. at the 2010 championships. On the opening Wednesday, 12-year-old Hannah Delcourt kicked off Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medal run with a bronze in the Juvenile Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. Teammates Rosalyn Carr and Jasmine Wood finished in fifth and seventh, respectively. A highlight during the week was the pre-novkice womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event, cont t
sisting of 60 competitors from across B.C and Yukon Territory. Kelowna skaters dominated the field, winning consecutive placements from second through eighth. Winning the silver medal was 12-year-old Julianne Delaurier with a flawless performance in the free program. Haley Sales skated two entertaining programs to finish with the bronze, while club mate Jayda Jurome catapulted from 11th after the short program to a fourth place (pewter) finish overall and taking the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Artistic Award. The Kelowna trio qualified to compete at the Skate Canada Challenge, which serves as the National Championships for this level. Monika Randall is the alternate for the team with a fifth place finish, while fellow Kelowna skaters Dana Bobyn, Lauren Rutherglen, and Cailey England rounded out
the top eight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This event was just unbelievableâ&#x20AC;?, said centre director Jason Mongrain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The level of energy in the building on Friday night was so intense as the skaters just kept delivering standout performances. It felt like a playoff hockey game atmosphere. Overall though, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bittersweet, as the skaters that just missed the top four are of very high quality and would fare well at the national level. They should be proud.â&#x20AC;? Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule saw 17-year-old OKM student Cambria Little skate to a third-place finish in the free program segment and fourth place overall. She qualified for the BC/YT Team and will compete at the Skate Canada Challenge, a qualifier for the Canadian championships. The highly competitive Novice Women and Junior Women events came to a close on Sun-
day, and they did not disappoint. In the Novice division, KSS student Makayla Randall skated an inspired free program to win the segment and the Artistic Award. She moved up from a fifth-place finish after the short program to win the silver medal overall. She has also qualified for the BC/YT Team, while Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Desiree Schaefer just missed the team with a fifth place overall finish and is the alternate. Meanwhile, in the junior division, OKM students Kelsey Wiebe and Morgan Jmaiff finished 1-2 in the free program, although Morgan took the silver overall while Kelsey won bronze.

▼ HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
Owls vs Centennials Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
They may not be the same powerhouse that won the B.C. AAA high school football championship a year ago. Still, the Centennial Centaurs aren’t about to be underestimated by Kelowna Owls’ head coach Roy Anderson as the two teams prepare to square off Saturday in the quarterfinal round of the provincial playoffs. The Centaurs are coming off a 53-28 thrashing of Mt. Douglas last weekend in the opening round, a result that didn’t tell the KSS coaching staff much more than they already knew about their opponents. “We knew they had speed and good athletes and we saw that again against Mt. Douglas,” said
Anderson. “They look a little more polished than they were earlier in the season and they are defending champs. We knew our opponent was going to be pretty good no matter who it was.” Kick off between the No. 4-ranked Owls and the Centaurs is 4 p.m. Saturday on the CNC turf. The Owls enter the game with a 9-1 overall record and, led by the ever-dangerous Taylor Loffler, have one of the province’s most explosive offenses. KSS even managed to put up four touchdowns and 27 points against the staunch defense of the No. 1-ranked Terry Fox Ravens earlier in the season. Anderson doesn’t expect scoring points on offense will be a big concern for the Owls, so stopping the Centaurs running
game will be Kelowna’s primary focus. Cents’ quarterback Bobby Pospischil and running back Jason Buren have combined for 1,370 yards rushing in just seven games. “If we can shut these guys down at the line of scrimmage and not let them get too much open field, then we’ll be in pretty good shape. We want to force them to pass because their passing game isn’t their strength. “We proved we can score on anybody, so that shouldn’t be a problem. Honestly, it could be the kind of game that turns out to be shootout. We could see a lot of points.” The Owls enjoyed a bye last weekend after nailing down the Okanagan AAA Conference title See Football A27

Heat’s Broome BCCAA PoW
‘Top-flight results …affirms work put in by skaters, coaches,’ Mongrain
Heat veteran Mark Broome is the BCCAA’s player of the week in men’s volleyball. The 6-foot-5 outside hitter was a key figure in UBC Okanagan’s home court sweep of the College of the Rockies last weekend in Kelowna. In the first match on Friday night, the four-year veteran Broome played on the right side recording 14 kills, eight digs, and one
Mark Broome block. In the Saturday after-
noon match the OKM product played in the middle but showed similar execution with seven kills in eight attempts, one block, and one ace as the Heat pushed their season record to 5-1. UBCO won both matches 3-0. Heat coach Greg Poitras will not only look for Broome to continue his strong play at both positions from an attacking
standpoint, but also to dominate other teams with his blocking. Both Heat volleyball teams head back out on the road this weekend as they play matches in Camosun Friday and at VIU on Saturday. The two-time defending B.C. and Canadian champion women’s team heads into the weekend with a perfect 6-0 record.
Fight for women’s top b’ball spot There’s a three-way tie for top spot through five weeks of the Kelowna Women’s Basketball League regular season. Pinnacle Sports Physio, LifeMark Sports Physio and Triple Threat are all at 4-1 in the record book. On Sunday, Pinnacle handed LifeMark its first loss of the season with a 60-51 victory.

Carly Newell led Pinnacle with 21 points, while Laurel McCarthy added 16. Mandy Trenholm paced LifeMark with 14 points and Jacquie Lalonde added 13. In other action: • Triple Threat rolled over Blue Steel 84-33. Rayna Gibbs led the winners with 23 points, with Adri Misfeldt and Lisa Nevoral
adding 16 and 15 points, respectively. Karla Binder scored 11 in the loss. • Kim Whelpton scored 15 points to lead King of Floors Fury to a 54-40 win over Ace.

Pursuant to Council Policy No. 257 – Seeking of Public Input – Sign Bylaw Changes, notice is hereby given that the Municipal Council of the City of Kelowna is intending to amend Sign Bylaw No. 8235 by removing references to election signs and creating a separate Election Sign Bylaw No. 10411 that will provide greater clarity for the permitted use and placement of signs during federal, provincial, local government, or school district election campaigns or referendums. Bylaw No. 10409 being Amendment No. 16. to Sign Bylaw No. 8235 and Bylaw No. 10411 being Election Sign Bylaw both were given first three readings at a Regular Council Meeting on Monday, November 8th, 2010.

sissauga next month. The skaters are coached by Jason and his wife Karen Mongrain, with assistance from Steve Muff of West Kelowna. “All in all, it was a fantastic week for B.C. skating and our centre,” said Mongrain. “To have topflight results from the low to high levels really affirms the work put in by the skaters and coaches. And from a hosting standpoint, our volunteers really stepped up to make this a first class event, if not the best Sectionals yet.” The complete KSC results are: • Pre-Juvenile Women: Madison Delcourt 12th; Rochelle Reeve 13th
• Juvenile Women: Hannah Delcourt third ; Rosalyn Carr fifth; and Jasmine Wood seventh. • Pre-Novice Women: Julianne Delaurier second; Haley Sales third; Jayda Jurome fourth; Monika Randall fifth; Dana Bobyn sixth; Lauren Rutherglen seventh; Cailey England eighth; Madison Jenson 14th; Judi Bobyn 15th; and Priscilla Sabang 32nd. • Pre-Novice Men: Kelly Basisty sixth • Novice Women: Makayla Randall second; Desiree Schaefer 5th; and Jordyn Eberts 18th. • Junior Women: Morgan Jmaiff second; Kelsey Wiebe third • Senior Women: Cambria Little fourth.
Owls Football from A26 with a 4-0 record. Anderson hopes the week of rest and homefield advantage will both weigh in his team’s favour. “We should come into the game healthy, some minor injuries have pretty much healed up,” he said. “On the other side of the coin, you hope you’re not too rusty after the week off. “As for playing at home, that’s always good. CNC isn’t really our home, we’ve been at the Apple Bowl all year. It’s still better than being on the road.” The reward for this weekend’s winner will likely be a matchup with the Terry Fox Ravens in the provincial semifinals next weekend. The top-ranked Ravens went 9-0 overall, outscoring their opponents 345-67. Fox will play Notre Dame in the quarterfinals Saturday.

Test your construction skills and get a taste of the holiday season this weekend—all while helping to build community and lending a hand to those in need. If it sounds too good to be true, fear not, it actually is even better than it sounds for those who like sugar and spice and everything nice. On Sunday, the Red Hot Chili Paddlers will host Kelowna’s soon-tobe annual gingerbread house contest and they’re looking for everyone from professional cooks to kitchen gods and goddesses to throw their hat in the ring and start creating. “I was building this kit (gingerbread house) and thought hey, we should do a contest,” said Clinton Dixson, one of the masterminds behind the fundraiser. Planned for Parkinson Recreation Centre, the event will include three categories of competition and take the entire day to complete. Members of the public looking to compete at building a kit gingerbread house can start arriving at 10 a.m. Sunday to build on-site, while those who want to start from scratch on their own are asked to have their entries to the gate by 3 p.m. the same day. Four local chefs, meanwhile, have signed on to add a touch of professionalism to the event by submitting their creations to the cause. The contest will cost $2 for adults and $1 for those under 18 years old to come in and check out what’s going on, so the organizers are hoping to draw crowds. Proceeds are being divided between the paddling team and the Okanagan Boys and Girls’ Club, but

PARTICIPANTS will be dreaming about creations like this gingerbread house. the Delta Grand’s chef de partie Olivia Harding said she’s hoping her entry can help her kill two birds with one stone—she’s planning to feature it in the Grand’s foyer when the contest is through. Harding is skilled enoughv she doesn’t really need to work up a
sweat over planning her entry; last year she and three others teamed up for a week to build an entire village in the Grand’s grand foyer so she just might have this competition licked. The train she is planning for Sunday’s event will require a little elbow
grease and a flip through her files to find the gingerbread recipe she uses. Her tricks of the trade include using a topnotch royal icing to glue the pieces together and, of course, a good stiff gingerbread. Gingerbread houses are traditionally made
with a German gingerbread, which includes a bit more flour than the average cookie dough to ensure the walls are stiff. Passa Tempo executive chef Jeremy Luypen, whose Osoyoos-area restaurant normally keeps

Retired police officer Robb McGirr has seen first hand the danger and the damage drug abuse can bring to a community, and he shared those experiences with local parents, caregivers and students on Thursday at Rutland Secondary School. McGirr, a 28 year veteran of law enforcement, worked as a specialized drug investigator and an undercover drug officer in the metropolitan Vancouver area. McGirr’s on the job experience led him to become a certified addictions counselor specializing in substance abuse education and early intervention for youth and families. He is a recognized expert in the areas of drug trafficking, teen drug trends and related at-risk youth issues. McGirr talked on Thursday about recognizing the signs of drug use, drug effects, and the human cost of drug use. “I’ve dedicated myself to educating caregivers, families and youth after my years on the street where I saw drug abuse and addictions take their toll firsthand,” said McGirr. “One of the greatest things we can share is how to become proactive when dealing with drug use concerns.” November 14 to 20 is National Addictions Awareness Week. Interior Health has partnered with School District 23 and the Rutland Secondary School Parent Advisory Council, ARC Programs LTD and the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club to bring McGirr and his powerful message to Kelowna. “We are very excited to have been able to work together with our community partners to make these events possible,” said Shannon McCarthy, senior manager community integrated health services McGirr also spoke specifically to Grade 10 and 11 students in class throughout the day on Thursday. He talked to them about the consequences of drug use and screened a documentary he developed and coproduced entitled Rewind…A Film About Choices. For more information on youth substance use services in the Central Okanagan contact Kelowna Mental Health and Substance Use at 250- 868-7788.

Entries will be judged by a panel of three communications professors from Okanagan College who will be looking for creativity and innovation. “The criteria are intentionally fairly wide-open,” explained Arellano. “We want participants to dig around and find out about the program and this field of study and put their own spin on their project. “Posters and videos should promote the program or how media and culture influences our

Call it a twist on the old adage that “the customer is always right.” This time, though, it’s the potential customer who is going to help market the product. And it’s the communications department at Okanagan College that has decided the people who might best be in a position to help them promote a new program—the Media and Cultural Studies diploma program— are exactly the people who might be interested in taking it. To that end, the department has launched a contest for potential students to help promote the twoyear diploma program. The contest runs until Nov. 30, and involves developing either posters or 30-second web videos to promote the program. “We thought this would be an interesting way to communicate the fact of the program to the larger public and at the

▼ BE A SANTA TO A SENIOR
▼ KELOWNA
Make Christmas special for lonely seniors Night of the Arts celebration Home Instead Senior Care has launched its Be a Santa to a Senior campaign again this year. The seniors’ care organization, which is the world’s largest provider of home care and companionship for seniors, hopes to collect and distribute more gifts to seniors than ever before. Gift requests are expected to be up this holiday season as more seniors on fixed incomes struggle to keep pace. Kelowna Mayor Sharon Shepherd has proclaimed Dec. 1 Be a San-
ta to a Senior day, which is being planned again at a time when many seniors may need more of the bare necessities to get by. Don and Anita Henke, owners of the local Home Instead Senior Care facility, expect to collect and distribute 350 gifts in Kelowna and the surrounding area. To recognize Be a Santa to a Senior day the Missionwood Retirement Resort, 1075 Barnes Ave., will host a full turkey meal by donation, from 11:30 a.m to 2 p.m,, on Dec. 1. Last year, the lunch
raised $2,000 with all proceeds going to the Be a Santa to a Senior program. Home Instead Senior Care locations across Canada make Be a Santa to a Senior a reality by partnering with local retailers, non-profit agencies and volunteers from the community. Retailers and community partners include London Drugs, Bette’s Foodbank, Fernbrea Manor, Meals on Wheels, Orchard Manor, Pleasantvale, Seniors Outreach, Sutherland Hills, Three Links
Manor, Village by Smith Creek, Mental Health and Missionwood Retirement Resort. According to the 2006 census, more than 1.1 million Canadian seniors aged 65 and up were living alone. “Last year we experienced unprecedented giving in our community,” Henke said. “If people are unable to attend the lunch on December 1, but would like to participate, they can call ahead and place an order for pickup. To place an order, call 250-860-9308 before November 24.”
to include silent auction items A half-hour RCMP helicopter ride for four is among the unique and interesting silent auction items up for grabs on Saturday night at the sixth annual Night of the Arts concert and client auction at Kelowna Community Theatre. Other goodies for bid include one night bed and breakfast at the Delta Grand Okanagan, a night’s stay at Sparkling Hill Resort (Winery), a three month pass to the Women’s Place, a three month pass to Global Fitness Centre, art work by wood craftsman Dave Stratten, a soapstone sculpture by the gifted Jim Krahn, works by painters Alex Fong, Cherie Hanson, Ramona Swift, Bonnie Heather, and others, and more than 60 other silent auction items. “We have a real cross section of goodies ideal for Christmas gifts or stockings and a great night of music lined up,” said The Bridge Youth and Family Services Society executive director Dennis Dandeneau. The evening of music and fun will see eight musical acts take part with all proceeds going towards programs help-
ing youth and families conducted by The Bridge. Robert Fine and the Dreamland Band, Corey Doak, Day Late and Dollar Short, Cowboy Bob, and the Deb Stone Band are among the musicians donating their talents to the night. As well a just completed 11-song Christmas CD titled An Okanagan Christmas will be released that night. Ten Okanagan Valley musicians contributed songs to the CD for the Bridge including five original tunes. Musicians on the CD include The Cruzeros, Greg Sczebel, Ryan Donn, Sleddogs, Zamboni Brothers, Cowboy Bob, Fine and others. Admission is by donation with doors opening at 6 p.m. and concert starting at 7 p.m. on Nov. 20. “We want people to come and enjoy the music and the energy of the evening, and hopefully learn a little bit about what we do,” said Dandeneau. For more information, contact the Bridge Youth and Family Services at 250-763-0456.

It never ceases to amaze me how heads automatically turn when a Jaguar rolls by. There’s just something about a Jag that catches peoples’ attention. For many, other than perhaps a Rolls Royce, the Jaguar brand stands at the top of the scale for luxury and prestige. I don’t know how many people over the years have said to me, “If there’s one car I’d love to drive in, it’s a Jaguar. Do you think you could take me for a ride?” In fact, I think back to when I first got into automotive writing. My Metroland colleague Jim Robinson, who knew my passion for cars, had been trying for a long while to get me involved in this side of the
business. At that point in my career, my editing job at the newspaper was so time consuming there just weren’t enough hours in the day for any additional duties. But then one day Jim said to me, “I’ve booked a Jaguar press car for you to drive for the week. I’d like you to do a story on it.” That was more than 10 years ago and I’m testing more cars than ever these days, thanks to that first Jaguar press car. So when I went in to pick up the 2011 Jaguar XKR a few weeks ago for a week-long road test, I thought back to my first Jaguar experience and what it felt like to be behind the wheel. You know what? That feeling hasn’t changed, even though I’ve driven hundreds of cars the past See Jaguar B4

Venza was designed in North America for North Americans Rob Beintema CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But I think I’ll go out on a limb here and claim that the Venza is the best looking vehicle in the Toyota lineup. When the Venza debuted at the 2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit,
it raised the bar on crossover styling with a unique blend of sedan refinement and wagon utility, brushed with a hint of SUV attitude. The Venza was designed in North America for North America. And the design team in charge was determined to shift the Venza away from the more traditional SUV styling themes that tend to
dominate the segment. The Venza is sleek. Both the roofline and ground clearance heights are lower than the dimensions of a usual crossover. Seating is at a compromise height, higher than in a typical sedan but lower than in an SUV, benefitting the driver with a good vantage point without hampering ingress and egress. A lower rocker
design also allows an easier step in and out of the vehicle. An angled rear hatch, sharp character lines, short overhangs and an aggressively wide stance on big 19- or 20-inch wheels compliment the lean aerodynamic exterior shape. Exterior jewelry includes a distinctively sharp-styled grille bracketed by sweeping head-

styling in its design.Yet it also offers practical five passenger-room and SUV-like cargo room and utility within its unique crossover style. lights up front. In back, a rear spoiler and wide wraparound taillights accent the Venza’s dramatic styling. Inside, the Venza seats five very comfortably with an emphasis on second row passenger room. Which is more than I can say about most cars.
The rear seats also recline up to 14 degrees and behind the second row the Venza offers 870 litres (30.7 cu.ft.) of cargo room, expanding to 1990 litres (70.1 cu.ft.) with the 60/40 bench folded flat. Those seats can be easily collapsed from behind, through the low access
rear hatch, using levers located on each side of the rear cargo area. There is some price to pay for the lowered and swoopy exterior styling mentioned earlier. Taller drivers will occasionally have to crane forward See Venza B3

to spot the stoplights and they will notice headroom limitations, especially with the lowered inclusion of the optional panoramic roof. Average-sized drivers and short-butts should experience no such problems. But even tall drivers can’t begrudge the panoramic roof glass and the way it opens up an already airy and spacious cabin. There are separate glass panels over the front and rear seats and the front glass sunroof opens with a power tilt/slide function. And the light through all that glass shines on a very handsome interior with flowing lines on the console, doors and dash. An extra long centre console extends from the instrument panel, splitting the cockpit and creating what Toyota refers to as a “60/60 design,” giving both the driver and front passenger the look and feeling that 60 per cent of the IP is accessible from their seating position. The console has a deep storage well that is illuminated and equipped with an auxiliary audio jack and 12-volt power point. Cupholders also light up in cool blue and the shifter protrudes handily from the upper portion of the centre console. Under the hood, the Venza offers a choice of either four-cylinder or V6
power. Both DOHC engines can be matched with front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). The Venza lineup starts with a 2.7-litre DOHC four-cylinder that makes 182 hp at 5800 rpm and 182 lb/ft of torque at 4200 rpm. This engine, as tested, pulls willingly enough, with the usual nasal four-cylinder honk, and it earns an as-tested official fuel economy rating of 10.2/7.1L/100km (city/hwy). In my real world variety of driving conditions, I used 52 litres of gas over 455 km, which works out to a combined average of 11.4L/100km. My tester also came with AWD, which adds about 85 kgs or the weight of a passenger to the curb weight total while also bumping the price by $1,450. Customers craving more oomph can opt for a the 3.5-litre DOHC V6 making 268 hp at 6200 rpm and up to 246 lb/ft of torque at 4700 rpm. This package bumps the Venza’s pulling power to a 1,587 KG (3,500 LB) tow rating, the equivalent of some SUVs. All Venzas translate engine power through a six-speed automatic super electronically controlled transmission with overdrive, sequential shift mode, a gate-type shifter, lock-up torque converter and standard transmission cooler.

few years. Even at the recent Automobile Journalists Association of Canada’s (AJAC) annual Car of the Year event in Niagara-on-the-Lake (see page B6) I was thrilled to take the new Jaguar XJ Supercharged out onto the track for a few laps. The car didn’t win its class, but it sure was a beautiful vehicle to drive, just like all Jaguar models. But back to the 2011 XKR, which comes in both coupe and convertible styles. My tester was the 2+2 coupe, featuring a new option called the Black Pack. This package, priced at $6,500, includes 20-inch Kalimnos alloy wheels with a gloss black finish, front and rear spoilers, and other black trim pieces. Red brake calipers with the R logo ($500) supplement the Black Package. In fact, the red of the brake calipers add-

start out as a five-litre V8, but the supercharger takes the XKR up to 510 hp, while the naturally aspirated version produces 385 hp. In either coupe or convertible form, the XKR is a stunning car. Like the iconic E-Type Jag, the XKR has a hood that appears to go on forever. The XK line had a major overhaul in 2007 and now five years into the latest generation, Jaguar did a few tweaks and some repackaging for 2011. Jaguar calls the XKR a “sophisticated grand tourer with the heart of a sports car” and that about sums it up. It’s a comfortable, smooth-riding tourer that will purr along all day on the highway with little effort. If you need the power to pass or merge in high-speed traffic, there are more than enough to get you where you need to goä in a hurry. But let it loose to prowl the twisties on the back roads, and the ‘sports car’ in the XKR takes over. While it’s a big car, the rigid but lightweight aluminum body gives the XKR a solid, stable feel on the road. Jaguar adds a number of state-of-the-art technologies to provide a sportscar-like experience in the XKR. Mated with the 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine, which does 0-100 km/h in about 4.6 seconds, is a six-speed automatic transmission with Jaguar Sequential Shift. This provides the option of Drive, Sport Automatic or Manual gearshift modes with paddle shifters mounted behind the steering wheel. A unique rotary shift knob, called the JaguarDrive Selector, which was first seen on the XF sedan, controls it all. It is located on the centre console and the rotary shift control simply pops up when the car is started. You can also select modes for different driving conditions. For example, in Dynamic Mode, adaptive dynamics increases body control for a sportier feel. Winter Mode offers a more damped accelerator pedal response for progressive control in slipper conditions. On the safety and handling front, the XKR has a feature called active differential control that See Jaguar B5

THE XKR COUPE for 2011 has a surprising amount of luggage space when you open the large rear hatch. tions, adjustable side bolsters and new cooled seats as standard. In all, the cabin is sumptuous and luxurious without being over the top. Due to the sloping coupe design of the XKR, the rear seat won’t see much use because of severely limited headroom. However, there is plenty of luggage space when you open up the large rear hatch.
Prices start at $107,000 for the XKR coupe. Add the Black Pack, heated windshield, suede interior treatments and freight and PDI, and the price as tested jumps to $116,450.

limits the slip between the two rear wheels to improve traction and stability. This system works along with the traction kcontrol, ABS and electronic stability control. To help control ride comfort, Jaguar offers tsomething called Adaptive Dynamics on the XKR that adjusts the damper rate constantly according rto driver input. It improves the ride quality by monitoring wheel position 500 times a second and automatically increasing damping rate as required. Among the other features of the XKR are twin rhood louvers and quad exhaust tailpipes. Special soft grain R leather seats are featured along twith a seven-inch touch screen with navigation system.

FOR
SONOMA, Ca.: This bad boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s off the chain! When the Dodge Challenger decided to jump into the modern muscle car segment in 2008 it did so in a no holds barred way with the SRT8 version complete with a great, thumping 6.1-litre V8 pumping out 425 hp and 420 lb/ft of torque. It was a throwback and breath of fresh air all at the same time. It was also, without doubt, the most powerful car built in Canada at the time. Since then the Mustang and Camaro have arrived and started an undeclared horsepower war. Dodge is now just struggling out of a very bad time and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come out swinging with no less that eight new Dodge and Chrysler vehicles led by the Dodge Challenger SRT8 392. Like the original 2008 Challenger SRT8, the 2011 also has a Hemi, but what a Hemi. Called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;392â&#x20AC;? because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s its displacement in cubic inches, it pumps out 470 hp and 470 lb/ft of torque. Just to recap Dodge Challenger for 2011, there are three basic models differentiated primarily by engine. All are front-engine, rear-drive. The Challenger SXT ($26,995) comes with a 3.6-litre V6 engine producing 305 hp and 268 lb/ft of torque with a fivespeed automatic transmission. The SXT Plus starts at $28,995 and adds a number of trim pieces like leather trimmed seats, Uconnect with Voice Command and a 265-watt Boston Acoustic sound system. The Challenger R/T ($36,395) is equipped with the ubiquitous 5.7-litre Hemi V8 now
producing 379 hp and 410 lb/ft of torque through a standard five-speed Auto Stick automatic or an optional six-Speed Tremec TR-6060 manual transmission. The Challenger R/T Classic ($38,390) adds standard features like HID headlights and 20inch wheels. Like the R/T 2011, Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 is available with either the standard fivespeed automatic transmission with Auto Stick or an available Tremec TR-6060 six-speed manual transmission. The Tremec was first offered on the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10. The 392 comes with an improved heavy-duty clutch that provides easier shift engagement. Also, the force needed to work the clutch pedal doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Jim Robinson
THE 6.4-LITRE HEMI V8 really fills
the engine bay and produces 90 more horsepower than the standard 5.7-litre Hemi. CONTRIBUTED

Believe it or not, Chrysler 6.4-litre V8 has fuel saver side Challenger from B7 require legs of steel to make it work. Now it may sound odd to talk about “green” and
a 6.4-litre V8 at the same time, but Chrysler’s Fuel Saver technology is included in automatic transmission equipped V8 models. It allows the en-
gine to operate economically on four cylinders or use all eight cylinders when needed. Certification is still being done at this writing,
but Dodge estimates a 30 mpg (Imp) return in fuel consumption on the highway. There are two versions of the “392” starting with
the SRT8 392 at $47,995 and the fancier 392 Inaugural Edition at $49,995. The chief difference with the Inaugural is that it is offered in two colours:

THE CHALLENGER SRT8 392 comes with special 20-inch SRT alloy wheels and big Brembo brakes. Deep Water Blue with standard Stone White stripes or Bright White Clear Coat with standard Viper Blue stripes. For the first time, the front grille features a body-color grille surround. Unique “392 HEMI” badges flank both fenders touting the historically significant V8 engine that remains true to its high-performance roots and powers the highest rated Challenger in terms of horsepower and torque ratings. From the rear, the Mopar quad exhaust tips deliver the performance exhaust note while adding the styling cue of an out and out muscle car. Open the door and you don’t so much as get in as step down into the cockpit like a WW11 fighter. The high doorsills and instrument panel let you know this is not your average family grocery-getter. I expected a thunderous explosion of gasoline against piston at startup, but it was all pretty tame. There was the fruity burble from the exhaust tips

that one expects from a big bore V8 but no drama. That was, until I moved off from rest from the Infineon Raceway parking lot in Sonoma, Ca., and the tone went up a full octave to a bass rumble. And then, glory be, I turned onto California Highway 37 and hit the gas. BRAMMMMM! Thanks to traction control, stability control and all the other safety system that are now mandated, there was no screeching of tires or rear end squat as all 470 lb/ft of torque found their way to the pavement but oh what a marvelous sound. First, the sound went way up to that bellow you only get from a V8. Next, the 392 explodes off a standing start like a howitzer shell.

GOLF BLUE-E-MOTION
Volkswagen will offer Canadian media their first chance to get behind the wheel of the Golf bluee-motion zero-emissions electric vehicle at this week’s Los Angeles Auto Show, . Drivers will experience the pure electrically powered version of the most successful European car ever built, the Golf. For Volkswagen, 2013 is the key year of electric mobility. First the brand starts into the age of pure electric driving by introducing the all-electric Up! and shortly afterwards the Golf blue-e-motion. The five-door and five-seat Golf blue-e-motion is silently driven by an electric motor that delivers a high maximum torque (199 lb/ft) from a stop, resulting in a true zero-emissions Volkswagen driving experience. The electricity for powering the electric motor is stored in a lithium-
gen’s many other responsible mobility options, including TDI Clean Diesels, hybrids and bio-fuel
ion battery with an energy capacity of 26.5 kilowatthours. The Golf blue-emotion joins Volkswa-

Chrysler will feature four Moparized vehicles at this week’s Los Angeles Auto Show. Mopar-modified vehicles on display will include Ram 1500, Chrysler Town & Country, Jeep Wrangler Sahara and the Mopar ‘10 Challenger. In addition, Mopar will demo industry-first features including ownerinformation mobile phone apps and its new Electronic Vehicle Tracking System (EVTS). In addition to accessories, Mopar continues to introduce innovative features and service initiatives. Just last month, the brand launched its industry-first Electronic Vehicle Tracking System (EVTS), an ideal device for fleet owners or concerned parents. If someone drives a vehicle too far or too fast, the system will send the owner a text. And unlike any other vehicle-tracking system, Mopar EVTS offers nationwide tracking without a subscription. From a service standpoint, Mopar recentfly expanded its industry-first owner-informattion mobile phone apps to include 2011 Ram pickt1500/2500/3500 up trucks along with the all-new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Information that used to be stuffed into the glove box is now available freeof-charge on customer smartphones.

THE 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 392 comes with a 6.4-litre V8 with 470 hp and 470 lb/ft of torque making it the most powerful car currently built by Chrysler. Challenger from B8 mph curve was child’s play and could have been taken at 100 mph without lifting my foot had I tried. There was a chance to take the 392 out on the track at Infineon, but experience has taught me this proves nothing as driving like that on the street could, and should, result in instant license
suspension. Yet the 392 is another example of how today’s engineering allows anyone to drive this car including Grandma motoring over to bingo. And the other thing is you can have performance that will humble a BMW and at half the price. Lastly, because this car is built in Brampton, Ont., by the good men and

Mitsubishi held the world premiere of the North American version of its i-MiEV new-generation electric vehicle at this week’s LA Auto Show. In addition, the Outlander Sport compact CUV (RVR in Canada),
which is to go on sale in the North American market from the end of this year as well as other core vehicles for the North American market are planned for display at the LAAS. The North American version of the i-MiEV, in comparison to the Japanese- and European-spec i-MiEV’s, features an en-
hanced, enlarged body structure to secure plenty of space for four adults and better meet the expectations of U.S. consumers. In addition, the North American-spec i-MiEV’s front and rear bumpers are all new. Airbags that detect passengers’ seating position and control deployment force are all standard equipment.

Chrysler claims 200 most affordable mid-size sedan on market Jim Robinson
throughout where it used to be flimsy plastic that looked so cheap you felt you could peel it off with your fingers. You’ll find ambient lighting (including cupholders) and the seats are made with a premium cloth not the bargain basement stuff while the rear seat has a 60/40 split/fold feature that makes for a huge cargo space. Air conditioning is standard. In terms of safety, there are six airbags, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS plus a standard tire pressure monitor. Electronic Stability Control (ESP) with traction control is an option on the LX. The LX, as mentioned, starts at $19,995. It has $900 worth of added content over the 2010 Sebring. But, and this is a crucial but, it is priced $4,000 below the current entry-level Sebring. The LX is powered by Chrysler’s 2.4-litre “world engine” producing 173 hp and 166 lb/ft of torque through a four-speed automatic transmission. All 200s are front-engine, front-drive. On the LX, a six-speed automatic is an
CARGUIDE CANADA
SONOMA: Ca.: Chrysler says its new 200 sedan, at $19,995, is the lowest priced mid-size car in Canada, but they don’t stop there. Chrysler also states the 2011 200 with 3.6-litre V6 is the most affordable V6 mid-size sedan and claims the V6 has class-leading economy with 42 mpg highway fuel consumption. The 200 is the new name for the Sebring, which for years was a bargain and proved to be the darling of the rental fleets. The “200” signifies that it comes in under the 300 full-size sedan. Presumably when Chrysler debuts a compact car, it will be called the 100. At the press launch of the 200 in Sonoma, Ca., the big talking point was how the corporation almost folded during the world fiscal collapse. Many a launch presenter with darkened brow talked about the “summer of 2009” in the way I remember old soldiers telling me about Dieppe in

FOR 2011, THE CHRYSLER 200 replaces the long-serving Sebring. Chrysler claims the 200 is the most affordable mid-size sedan on the Canadian market. 1942. Much was said about overall improvements that were given a green light instead of being “thrifted” as the company was forced to do because money was so short, leading up to the near collapse. “Thrifted” was a word used a lot and the first time I had heard this noun used as a verb. And a lot of focus was
centred on the interiors of the eight new vehicles Chrysler and Dodge debuted recently in San Francisco and Sonoma, Ca. Perhaps the most revealing part of this press launch was hearing Chrysler head of interior design, Klaus Busse, say, that when the “summer of 2009” crunch came, it
would “have been easy to take a nice chunk of money and walk away. “But we knew then what we had on the drawing board and what was coming and that’s why we stayed. And now, when I look at this, I can say it was worth it.” Starting at $19,995, even the base LX model has soft-touch surfaces

option. The 200 Touring ($23,995) builds on the LX with standard ESP with added trim and a 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 as an option. The 3.6-litre produces 328 hp and 260 lb/ft of torque and is standard on the Limited ($27,995) that adds gobs of trim like heated leather seats, universal garage door opener and Bluetooth connectivity. Fuel numbers for the 2.4-litre, five-speed auto are 9.9/6.7L/100 km (29/42 mpg) city/highway; 2.4-litre six-speed auto, 10.5/6.4L/100 km (27/44 mpg) city/highway; 3.6-litre six-speed auto, 11.0/6.8L/100 km (26/42 mpg) city/highway. Chrysler made noise, vibration and harshness (NHV) a priority with some 45 things done to quell noise intruding on the cabin like acoustic, laminated glass on the windshield and front door windows. I cannot speak about the ride and handling of the 2.4-litre, as all my very brief driving was behind
the wheel of a Limited. Overall the car responded well to steering inputs although the steering wheel felt a little dead on centre. Can you push the 200? With the 3.6-litre and improved suspension for 2011, yes but that is not what this car is designed to do.
