Developer eyes vacant lots in core of Rutland
Police release name of drowning victim
Kathy Michaels CONTRIBUTOR
Rutland’s Four Corners, may soon be rebranded as the area’s Crossing, should an unnamed developer’s ambitions pan out. After a year on the market, which followed several more of stagnancy, someone has swooped in with plans to build a commercial development in the area. “(The property) is under contract right now,” said Jeff Hudson, the commercial realtor with Colliers dealing with the land. That means the buyer has a pending offer and the deal has yet to be sealed. It doesn’t mean that the vision hasn’t been well laidout already. “There’s a development plan in place that we are using for marketing retail and office tenants,” said Hudson. “It’s a sophisticated retail space. There will be a two-storey development on each corner and we’ll be rebranding it as Rutland Crossing.” While commercial real estate projects haven’t been bountiful since the market wiped out, Hudson went on to say that this particular space was
alluring for a number of reasons. “It’s a good opportunity in a high profile area,” he said. By his and the developer’s estimates it’s a sound investment because it’s on the way to Big White, is in close proximity to high schools and there’s a high density of residential population. “I think Rutland has a stronger degree of upside,” he said, referring to the growth in the area. It’s something that members of the Uptown Rutland Business Association have been saying for awhile, and a developer’s plans to move into the area dovetail nicely with their recent discussions on how to best capitalize on the region’s assets. At a June 23 meeting, they discussed revitalizing the stretch around the transit station that pulls together the neighbourhood, explained Uptown Rutland Business Association executive director Deborah Guthrie. At that meeting they hashed out ways to spiff the region up, and make it more appealing to developers who want to set up both commercial and residential enterprises. One of those areas was the four-corners project.

HAVING A BALL…Even the ball was happy as the sunshine returned to the Okanagan this
Mounties equipped with cameras and sonars will return to Okanagan Lake this morning, to continue their efforts to locate missing Kelowna resident Cole Barr. Monday, Barr, 25, was among a group of five friends who spent a day enjoying Okanagan Lake on a pontoon boat. They were headed back to the El Dorado boat launch when the trip is believed to have turned fatal. “(Barr) who was standing at the edge of the front of the boat, lost his balance and pitched forward into the water in front of the boat,” said Const. Steve Holmes. “The others in the boat heard a bump as the boat passed over the victim and they dove in after him when they saw him floating briefly behind the boat.” Unfortunately, Barr wasn’t wearing a life jacket and slipped from view before friends could help him, although they tried.

▼ MILITARY ART
Dragoons need muralist Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
It’s an extraordinary challenge but one the Okanagan Military Museum, the British Columbia Dragoons and the Whizbang Veterans Association believe someone in this community can meet. By the end of next month, members of the three organizations are hoping to have at least a handful of Okanagan artists interested in painting a mural on the wall of Memorial Arena to celebrate the Dragoon’s centennial in 2011. The project has a yearlong timeline, but a 100 year history behind it. “What we’re looking for is a legacy project for the B.C. Dragoons centennial that will leave a lasting memorial for the community of the centennial,” said Paul Seguna, mural committee member and Vernon-based museum director. Those hundred years include a lot of changes. At one point the Dragoons rode horseback, between the wars they were on motorcycles and they’ve also been in tanks. And the history of the
missions they’ve covered off is truly remarkable. Chairman of the committee Ed Dickins, who is himself a Whizbang, said he thinks the mural might be a good place to showcase the Dragoon’s work in the Kelowna fires of 2003, for example, or the two sister city relationships. Here in Kelowna, many will know how Canadian troops freed Veendam, but up in Vernon there is a stronger relationship with another European city—Tavullia, Italy. During the Second World War, the B.C. Dragoons were on the east coast of Italy involved in a major engagement. There was a series of German defensive lines set up to try and hold the Germans back from the boot of Italy. Dragoons defeated the Germans when they broke the Gothic line—a huge feat commemorated locally. As for the mural project, the committee members are asking the creative community to, well, get creative. “I personally don’t want to see a whole bunch of faces of commanding officers,” said Dick-
ins. “We want to depict the horses in World War I, the Victoria Cross won in World Ward II. We have BCDs over in Afghanistan today…,” he said. “But this is my vision of it. We have to see what the artist comes up with.” Also on the committee representing the arts community is local artist Julia Trops. She said the commission up for grabs represents a solid opportunity for a local artist and believes it might even be a breakthrough project for someone like a fourth year university student. “This is equivalent to a public art project, but it’s funded through the military museum,” she explained. All that is needed for the application is a sketch and some descriptive work. She believes a small band of students might be able to join forces and use the project for credit in one of their classes with the right motivation. Thus far, the project only has two applicants, though three honorariums are available for artists whose work does not make the final cut. The final winner will be announced at a cele-

▼ INTERIOR HEALTH
Health care providers learn what rural communities need Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER
A series of meetings in rural communities is giving health service providers a more detailed picture of their particular needs. Interior Health vicepresident of communications Cathy Renkas said the organization is hearing the outcome of community engagement sessions launched in June.
The organization launched the process to hear about the specific needs of Lytton, Logan Lake and Ashcroft. Renkas noted the rural communities have experienced challenges in getting physicians there, and ensuring they have enough medical staff. Interior Health officials met with First Nations groups, physicians and key stakeholders in
the communities. “We really wanted to hear what was top of mind for them as far as health issues go.” Renkas noted one of the biggest challenges in the rural communities serviced by Interior Health is patient transportation. All three of the communities have health centres, and Ashcroft has a full hospital. Renkas added the towns have emer-
gency rooms and essentially the whole range of health services. But transportation can be an issue before patients even make it to the emergency room. Renkas pointed out there is a large First Nations population in Lytton with many that live on the other side of the river from town, making it more challenging for them to access health services in the first place.
Transportation also poses difficulties for rural residents as they face the issue of elderly care. “Often in smaller communities, you don’t have the ability to create the large residential care facilities you have in the larger centres.” Renkas said elderly care can be challenging in smaller communities. She noted that if someone needs 24/7 nursing care,
they often have to leave their community. “One of the things we’re focusing on is good home support services.” Renkas noted Interior Health is focusing on having good home support services in rural areas, with a nurse or a community health worker that could help elderly homebased patients get up in the morning, get dressed or take medications.
She pointed out the dialogue with those communities was a great opportunity, and both parties involved would like to see the meetings continue. “As we look to the future, we have to find a way to deliver services more efficiently and more effectively in rural communities.” msimmons @kelownacapnews.com

▼ FINTRY
Collision corner takes another hit It may not be a tricky corner for most people, but it’s caused a couple of problems for one Fintry resident. Police, fire and ambulance crews were on-scene at an early morning crash Wednesday on Fintry Park Road, and they appear to be having a case of deja vu. A man driving a Ford sedan swerved to avoid deer and ended up driving five metres down an embankment, into some trees. The area resident walked away from the scene, and
was later transported to the hospital to deal with injuries while crews remained to clean up. While there, however, the crews came upon a scarred tree that reminded them of a crash just a year earlier. That time around, the same man had driven his motorbike off the road, so when police were asked whether it was a dangerous corner, they responded, “not usually.”

Sonar, underwater cameras needed to assist search for body Drowning from A1 For at least an hour after Barr fell from the boat, the friends continued to look. They then returned to shore, called the police and two fire department boats were launched and searched the area where the victim is believed to have fallen in. Crews also conducted a shoreline search. While the search was expected to continue Thursday for the young man who worked at Deviate board shop, foul weather grounded efforts. “The weather and the waves make it difficult for search vessels to use sonar and underwater cameras,â€? said Const. Holmes. “They will resume tomorrow and they’ll be checking out images of interest that were captured on camera.â€? Holmes explained their cameras have detected shapes that require further investigation, and the locations have been marked with GPS, so crews can return to them upon resuming the search. “It could be any number of things‌but they want to err on the side of caution,â€? he said. So far this summer there have been three fatalities on Okanagan waterways and Holmes said efforts to ensure boaters comply with safety regulations have ramped up. This past week, Transport Canada and the RCMP teamed up for a series of on-water patrol blitzes aboard a Transport Canada Zodiac currently stationed in the Okanagan. Boating safety patrols were conducted on Okanagan, Kal, Wood and Mabel Lake. On Okanagan Lake, patrols were launched from Kelowna, Summerland and Penticton. Boaters were also checked on local boat ramps for operator cards and safety equipment. About $1,500 in fines were issued for such offenses as missing fire extinguishers, safety equipment not in good working order, no proof of operator competency on board (pleasure craft op-

person being towed and an insufficient number of lifejackets.
Fines range from $115.00 to $575 for most boating offenses.
Not carrying enough lifejackets carries a fine of $230.00 for the first
missing one and $115.00 for each addition missing one.
Lifejackets and PFD’s must be Canadian Approved and in good repair.

Endangered plant haven within Wrinkly Face park
G
ingerly stepping from stone to stone, hikers’ booted feet desperately try to avoid crushing a delicate, red-listed plant species, just identified, in a meadow high above the Okanagan Valley. Yet, just months earlier, big tires had torn up the meadow as motorbikes and ATVs were illegally driven into Wrinkly Face Provincial Park, fires lit and parties held. Fences have been built to try and discourage those with motorized vehicles from damaging the delicate high-elevation meadows and the main reason this park was created in 2004—the existence of a variety of rare and endangered plants in a string of scenic meadows with particularly diverse plant life, along the High Rim Trail. Included is the delicate Needleleaved Navarretia (Navarretia intertexta) which members of the Central Okanagan Naturalists’ Club identified Saturday, and another red-listed plant, the Obscure Cryptantha
TRAIL MIX
Judie Steeves (Cryptantha ambigua). In addition there are several blue-listed species: Northern Linanthus (Linanthus septentrionalis), Falsemermaid (Floerkea proserpinacoides) and Awned Cyperus squarrosus. In all, 28 hikers turned out last Saturday to take a guided walk along the High Rim Trail into Wrinkly Face Provincial Park, and there were a gratifying number of the endangered plants at one of the sites for them to view. The meadows overlook a tiny Duck Lake far below and Okanagan Lake, just a hillock further away from it in the landscape, under the steep cliff that gives this park its name. It’s about 16 km north of Winfield and was first identified as Wrinkly Face in Feb. 7, 1922, by the
federal government, from a label on a 1916 topographic map of the “Okanagan Lake Valley.” On Feb. 7, 1951, the name was changed to Wrinkly Face Cliff, and following conclusion of years of multi-stakeholder meetings, the OkanaganShuswap Land and Resource Management Plan recommended a new provincial park on the site. It’s not a large park, at 43 hectares, but it’s at an elevation of 1360 metres, or 4,462 feet and includes the southern-facing cliff with ridges of volcanic rock and basalt, topped with these rich meadows and their panoramic views of the valley. Unfortunately, not only humans with motors have caused havoc in these delicate, rocky fields. Cows have been permitted to enter and destroy much of the plant life by either munching the arnica, yarrow and paintbrush flowers off their stems or crunching the yellow monkey flower, larkspur and desert parsley beneath their huge

Hikers try to identify what turns out to be a red-listed (provincially endangered) tiny plant found in Wrinkly Face Provincial Park along the High Rim Trail Saturday. hooves. B.C. is a large province, much of it wilderness still, yet we seem unable to even protect tiny important pockets of natural areas from humans and their determination to destroy it. With the proliferation of dirt bikes and allterrain vehicles in recent years, no landscape is isolated or rugged enough to be safe from their wheels. No motorized vehicles are permitted in the park, in order to protect its natural ecosystem and hikers are encouraged to stay on
the trail through the park. But ‘not permitting,’ and ‘preventing’ are two quite-different concepts, unfortunately, and yearly reductions in provincial park staff leave those remaining to work almost desperately to protect our “protected areas” from those who would use them illegally. And, it’s not likely the fault of those who form clubs of riders. In fact representatives from groups such as Outback ATV Club, Crawlin’ B.C., the Urban Rednecks OffRoad Association and
Miller Homes have come in and cleaned out derelict and burned-out vehicles, glass, other junk and scrap that has been left behind by partiers.

No one had studied DJing at UBC before Wisdom Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Not many DJs have a masters degree in making music, but Vancouver’s Timothy Wisdom says he can literally school young electronics fans on how to throw down a track. Growing up in a remote outport of Newfoundland, with little to no access to DJs and their genre, his introduction to the sound came from a tape of DJ Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince, the wildly popular late 1980s duo started by movie and television star Will Smith and his partner Jeff Townes. “I had no idea how to DJ and I had no one to talk to about it because I was sitting in the middle of Newfoundland,” Wisdom said in a telephone interview from his Vancouver home. Starting out with a Roland TR-505 drum machine, a set of cheap turn tables and a mixer, he taught himself how to create the sounds of a female orgasm with a few priceless notes from a Supremes record his father owned, and continued writing and recording music onto cassettes for his friends. The music became more of an obsession when he started graduate school at UBC in Vancou-
ver and discovered the department was kind of hip to his hobby. “They were like, wow, nobody’s ever studied DJing before. So for the next two years I was the poster boy for cool at the UBC computer science department,” he said.

While he did manage to complete his project, other companies were working on the same technology and he eventually had to publish his work in order to graduate from school before a business model could be secured to take his product to market. “I delayed the process of publishing my thesis and graduating for as long as I possibly could,” he recalled. “But eventually I had to graduate.” And life after graduation has been pretty good.

Temporary gallery home found for male-nude exhibit Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most contemporary, but temporary, art gallery opens next month. Local artist Cory Dixon says he has found a space to temporarily display the life-size male nude installations he has been working on and has a couple of opportunities to talk about the work this
summer. Dixon has been in the news for initiating a program heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called The Grassroots Initiative, which pairs realtors and up-and-coming artists together to give the artist space to exhibit and realtors a way to attract investment in vacant spaces by creating some buzz about the space. Part of the impetus for the project was for artists
to find immediate ways to showcase work responding to the immediate cultural conversation within a communityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;like attitudes on the portrayal of male nudity. Dixon has pointed to the Kelowna Art Galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to cover several pictures of men with erections in their spring exhibit as one of those issues he thinks the Okanagan needs to explore.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It tells us something about our society when pictures of naked men in an art gallery get that type of response, but pictures of highly sexualized women are perfectly OK on the mud flaps of a truck or hanging over the bar at the pub,â&#x20AC;? he said. The community will get a chance to debate the issue next Thursday, July 29, at the Bohemian CafĂŠ during the regular Okanagan Instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speaker series. The institute has put together a panel discussion on the topic of male nudity which will include Shauna Oddleifson from the Kelowna Art Gallery, local artist Wanda Locke and Dixon. His exhibition, entitled Discus(t)?, opens at 1650 Pandosy St. on Aug.

Cherry Fair to honour tail gunner Armstrong is the longtime home of war veteran Vern Flatekval, whose remarkable story will be honoured at the B.C. Orchard Industry Museum’s Cherry Fair on Saturday in Kelowna. Flatekval, one of the last-known Second World War veteran airplane tail gunners, survived 36 missions flying over German in the rear gun turret of a Lancaster bomber. According to documents, over the peak years
of Allied bomber command activities, these men survived an average of seven missions. Flatekval, known internationally as “Tail-endCharlie,” is an advocate and long-time supporter of the Memorial Mountain Climbing Trail and Cenotaph Park project, where the Okanagan pays tribute to its extraordinary numbers of native sons who were lost and injured serving overseas. Canadian Celtic song-
writer John Spearn, who’s Songs for Canada Project brings him to Kelowna to entertain at this year’s Cherry Fair, will perform one of his new works written in special dedication to Flatekval (who will be in attendance) and the Memorial Mountain Project. Spearn will perform at the Cherry Fair at various times throughout the day. The Cherry Fair runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the lawn next to the Library Parkade, at 1380 El-

▼ DEFIBRILLATOR
Inn from the Cold receives special gift Inn from the Cold Kelowna was presented today with a complimentary Lifepak CR Plus automated external defibrillator from Medtronic of Canada Ltd as part of its partnership with VANOC. The defibrillator will be located in a public area so anyone suffering sudden cardiac arrest can be given immediate assistance. The use of a defibrillator—which delivers a shock to the victim’s chest to help reset the heart’s normal rhythm—can literally mean the difference between life and death, while emergency services are called. “Inn from the Cold Kelowna is very pleased to be one of the 200 organizations across Canada chosen to receive this life-saving gift as a legacy of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics,” said Tara
Tschritter, volunteer and shelter coordinator. “An (automated external defibrillator will provide yet another measure for us to ensure that our guests have a warm, safe and comfortable night’s sleep.” For many victims of SCA, there is no previous history of heart problems. Sudden cardiac arrest is often the first symptom, and can occur in outwardly healthy people with no known heart disease or other health problems. The key to survival for most victims is immediate care and a strong chain of survival that includes early access to an AED. Inn from the Cold Kelowna is a volunteer-based registered charity operating a 35 bed winter emergency shelter and a yearround advocates program for homeless people at risk.
UBC student wants to use $10,000 prize to help women in need

t might be the understatement of the day in this edition of the Capital News, but communication is becoming increasingly important— and increasingly complex. Today, there are more avenues than ever to engage in communication; more ways than ever to get the message across. In the days of our cave-dwelling ancestors, communication consisted of speech—maybe words, maybe grunts, maybe the occasional scream of terror or yelled warning.
SCHOOL’S IN
Allan Coyle From verbal communication we moved on to visual communication— drawing and writing. It was a quick trip into various media and technologies and we all know where that led. Books, newspapers,
telegraph, telephone, radio, television, etc… And here we are today, where the means of communication are too lengthy to list, and where the number of messages that bombard us are mindboggling (sometimes literally). The challenge for us as individuals, as employees and as citizens is to keep up with it all and make sense of it. Understanding how to develop a message and communicate it clearly is at the heart of our educa-
tion system—K-12 and post-secondary. It’s why English courses are often mandatory, either for graduation or admission to a program. It’s why teachers expect students to be able to relate ideas and concepts. The information is important but as important is the skill to communicate it. Our success in so many endeavours relies on communication that you’d expect nothing less of the teachers and the education system.
It should be no surprise that communications was one of the top employability skills listed by the Conference Board of Canada. And today, there are entire programs at the post-secondary level that are devoted to communication. Some focus on the technological side of the equation—engineering and technology programs, for instance, that delve into the machinery, mechanisms and physics of how messages are

The education in communication will not ever end, not as long as change occurs and humans find new ways to transmit messages to each other.

moved. Other programs focus on the messages, how they communicate meaning in a range of contexts: Everything from the Twitter message that just hit your cell phone to the advertisement flashing in front of you on that big, bright billboard as you drive down the highway. As you’re contemplating careers or educational choices, if it’s communications you’re interested in as a subject on its own, a quick search of a college or university website will usually point you toward program choices. Don’t think that once you’ve obtained a credential, however, that you’re done with learning about communication. Ask the professionals who are trying to wrestle with the latest changes in communications. Ask those who are trying to decide whether to invest their limited energies and resources in Facebook, website development, printed materials, electronic media, or in face-to-face communications.

▼ CONDO LIVING
Fire damage can present tough decisions for stratas T Oh, I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end —lyrics from the James Taylor song Fire And Rain.
he ever-increasing fire assault on the Okanagan has recently hit home on several fronts. Although all fires are devastating, for condominium dwellers the fallout can be doubly damag-
ing. Individuals not only lose their homes, but as shareholders, their corporation is also damaged. The fire destruction of Barber Terrace, a new 34unit condominium in Rutland, raises several issues, which will be debated

and negotiated well after the mop-up crews are finished their mammoth restoration task. While the flames burnt much of the fourth floor, the water used to extinguish the flames found its way throughout the entire structure. Between the fire and the water, the once beautiful building is now in ruins more resembling a scene out of Baghdad. Long after the cleanup, the legal and insurance implications could still be raging. One concern is beyond controversy. First and foremost is the imperative to carry adequate insurance coverage. Many strata dwellers mistakenly believe they are covered by the corporation’s policy. Every unit should have adequate coverage to protect such things as personal belongings, improvements, loss of rental income, moving and storage and housing allowance.
STRATA SCENE
Gunnar Forsstrom A Strata Scene reader raised the question that if an owner could sue another owner for loss under the strata’s insurance policy. “An insurer cannot subrogate against its own insured, and this principle does apply to the insurers of a strata corporation,” according to Christy Lovig, a lawyer with Doak Shirreff. “The strata can, however, sue an owner to recover the deductible portion of an insurance claim, if the owner is responsible for the loss or damage that gave rise to the claim. “The bylaws of a strata come into play here, too,” continued Lovig. “If a strata’s bylaws contain an indemnity by-
law, then they are justified in charging a deductible and any uninsured amount against the owner’s strata lot, where that owner has been found to be ‘responsible’ for the claim; but in the absence of such a bylaw, this may not be allowed.” An indemnity bylaw would simply reserve the right to collect deductibles or other uninsured amounts from an owner, and it’s therefore highly recommended that strata corporations amend their bylaws to include an indemnity bylaw. Such a bylaw would help the strata to avoid lawsuits by allowing them to simply charge the uninsured amount against the owner’s strata lot. “The definition of ‘responsible’ under the Act, however, is not fully developed,” Lovig added. The question was also raised whether owners had a choice to restore the building, or take the insurance payout instead. Section 159 (1) of the
GOLD BUYING EVENT
Strata Property Act states the corporation may, by a resolution passed by a 3/4 vote at an annual or special general meeting held no later than 60 days after the receipt of the money…may decide not to repair or replace the damaged property. Subject to section 160, if the strata corporation decides not to repair or replace the damaged property, the insurance trustee or the strata corporation that receives the payment holds the money and any interest in trust for each person who has an interest in the money, including the holder of a registered charge, and must distribute the money according to each person’s interest.

Study says obese children too often remain fat as adults D
r. Esther Zimmerman, from the Institution of Preventative Medicine in Copenhagen, presented research at the International Congress of Obesity in Stockholm, Sweden, that stated that men who are considered obese at the age of 20 are twice as likely to die young. Some conservative estimates cite that 66 per cent of U.S. adults aged 20 and older are considered overweight or obese. Obesity in Canada is on the rise. In 1978-79, the Canada Health Survey collected measured height and weight data for a nationally representative sample of adults. That year, the age-adjusted obesity rate was 13.8 per cent, far below the 2004 rate of 23.1 per cent. British Columbia is a by national averages, the leanest province, with Newfoundland the most obese. Experts have cited that there is an obesity epi-

Markus Thiel demic in Canada. Dr. Zimmerman at the University Hospital in Denmark stated: “Entering adult life as obese leads to a lifelong doubling of the risk of dying prematurely.” She further is by stating that it is best to avoid beginning adult life as obese, as the majority will remain obese as adults. Statistics have stated that if you have one parent who is obese you have approximately a 39 per cent chance of being obese yourself. The percentages skyrocket to 88 per cent if both parents are obese. In the study, 5,500 Swedish men from the ages of 20 to 80 were tracked. Their findings indicated that the men who

This network change is a result of the transportation improvements underway on Highway 33 being led by the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. Improvements include widening of the roadway to four lanes between Muir and Gallagher Roads, sidewalks, controlled pedestrian crossings and lighting. The City of Kelowna is investing $12-million in partnership with the ministry of transportation and Infrastructure to improve traffic mobility and safety for all users of this roadway.

This will calculate your BMI immediately simply by submitting your height in your weight. Obesity carries the increased chance of contracting the following risk factor: type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, osteo-arthritis, some cancers and gallbladder disease.

▼ KELOWNA ROCKETS ALUMNI
Tradition resonates for Gorges Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
When Kelowna Rockets players of the past and present take to the ice Sunday for the club’s annual alumni hockey game, don’t expect a knock-down, drag-emout affair reminiscent of an NHL playoff game. Then again, don’t look for anyone’s competitive nature—including that of Josh Gorges— to remain completely in summerholiday mode. “The games aren’t overly intense, they’re meant to be fun, probably a little like an all-star game and you don’t want anybody to get hurt,” said Gorges, a five-year NHL veteran. “On the other hand, every guy out there is competitive and both teams are going to want to win. Guys won’t go too hard, but they’re going to try and do what’s need-
ed to win. It’ll be the first time back playing for a lot of guys, so we’ll do the best we can.” Gorges is one of close to 40 former and current Rockets who will don the blades for the club’s ninth annual alumni hockey game Sunday at the Capital News Centre. Doors open at 4:30 p.m. with the game set for 5:30 p.m. An autograph session and jersey auction will also be featured. The hockey game will cap off the 2010 version of Alumni Weekend which began with a golf tournament and player memorabilia auction on Thursday at the Harvest Golf Club. With a full slate of 200 people playing in the golf tourney—including 40 former and current players, along with sponsors and fans—it’s a clear indication of just how far the alumni event has come in 10 short years.
A mere 24 people teed it up for the first golf tournament in 2001. “It’s our best turnout yet,” said Anne-Marie Hamilton, the Rockets director of marketing and alumni organizer. “There are going to be about 50 players, either golfing, playing in the game or both, by the time weekend is done. “It’s to the point now where the young guys are coming back to see some of the older guys who have played here over the last decade but haven’t had a chance to meet them,” said Hamilton. “A lot of them watched the older guys growing up, so it really brings together different generations of players. “It’s amazing how many players live here now and have bought homes, too, so that’s why you’re seeing this event continue to grow.” All proceeds from
both the hockey game and golf tournament will be donated to the Orthopedic Ward at KGH. For Josh Gorges’ part, the Kelowna native hasn’t missed an alumni event yet. The weekend is a chance for the Montreal Canadiens’ defenceman to catch up with former teammates and swap stories about both their past and current careers. Gorges’ career, for one, continues to be on the upswing. The 6-foot-1 blueliner helped lead his Habs on a magical playoff run which included upsets of the No. 1 rated Washington Capitals and the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins to reach the conference final, before being eliminated by the Philadelphia Flyers. On an individual note, the 26-year-old Gorges drew rave reviews for his steady play and leader-

ship throughout the postseason. “When we went down 3-to-1 to Washington, everybody had pretty
much written us off,” said Gorges. “But the guys were motivated, we came
together and we proved people wrong. See Gorges A21
Weber, Keith inaugural recipients of new President’s Award Two of the Kelowna Rockets highest profile alumni are the inaugural winners of a newly-created award by the Western Hockey League club. The Rockets have named Olympic gold medalist Shea Weber, and Stanley Cup champ and Olympian Duncan Keith as the first honourees of the new President’s Award. The award, to be handed out to Kelowna Rockets players who have gained extraordinary recognition in the hockey world, was created this year.

“I felt it was time that we created something that acknowledged the guys that gain things for our country or our city that are very important,” said Rockets president and general manager Bruce Hamilton, who talked of the importance of Team Canada’s gold medal at the 2010 Olympics of which Weber and Keith played key roles. “Probably the greatest accomplishment in hockey in Canada for a number of years and you guys stood in there and you never forgot where you
came from. Your communities of Sicamous (Weber) and Penticton (Keith) were proud,” said Hamilton. Both players accepted their awards in front of dozens of former and current Rockets, coaches as well as spouses, girlfriends and children to kick off the Rockets Annual Alumni Weekend Wednesday night. Former players gathered for dinner at Manhattan Point restaurant before a round of golf Thursday and a hockey game wrap up the festivities on
Sunday. “I just want to say that when I first came to Kelowna it was a tough decision,” said Keith, who jumped from the NCAA’s Michigan State Spartans to play a starring role for Kelowna’s 2003 Western Hockey League championship team. “But I think I knew within a couple days that it was the right decision. I want to say thanks for being such good friends.” Keith also became the first Kelowna Rocket to win the James Norris Trophy as the top defenseman in the NHL for the 2009-

Challenge motivated for defense of PCSL title OK Challenge to face Khalsa Sporting Club in Coquitlam Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Josh Leins was nothing short of ecstatic when his Okanagan Challenge won its first Pacific Coast Soccer League title in 12 years last summer on home turf. Don’t expect the team captain to be any less thrilled this if his club can successfully defend the championship this weekend in Coquitlam. Leins and the Challenge will take to the pitch against Khalsa Sporting Club Saturday at 4 p.m in the Challenge Cup semifinals. The clubs split two meetings this season, with Khalsa winning 1-0 on June 5 in Kelowna, and the Challenge returning the favour with a 1-0 win June 20 in Coquitlam. “We’re feeling great going in against Khalsa,” said Liens, 21. “Both times we played them, we had great results. The last time on their home turf, we went in there and performed. “We came out of there holding our heads high. We really like our chances.” Adding fuel to the Challenge’s confidence level had been their play over the last half of the season. After a sluggish start to the campaign due to player absences and in-
juries, the Challenge went undefeated in its last seven games (5-0-2) and heads to the post season on a big-time roll. “A lot of our key guys were late coming in from their schools, but once everybody showed up we really bonded well,” said Leins, a defender who attends the University of Victoria. “About halfway through it just clicked and we’ve been playing well ever since.” Leins said the Challenge has been getting key contributions up and down the roster, from both the starters and bench players. The captain cited the stellar play of keeper J.D. Blakely as a big reason the Challenge (7-6-3) is headed to the playoffs on a high. Veterans Mike Killip and Dustin Luck, along first-year forward Alex Keller also earned accolades from Leins for leading keeping club on track over the latter stages of the year. While about half of the roster and head coach Clint Schneider experienced last season’s championship triumph, there will be one notable absence from this year’s tournament. Team founder and longtime president Eric Tasker passed away earlier this year, but Leins said he’s
never been far from the players’ thoughts. “It’s important to make sure we perform in Eric’s memory,” said Leins. “We always mention his name before we play and it would be really special if we could win it again for him and his wife, Isla. “It would show the results of all his hard work and dedication is still there.” Aside from the pure thrill of a championship win, Leins said hoisting the PCSL’s Challenge Cup one more time would be yet another boost for soccer in Kelowna. “If we could win it again, I think it would show that soccer is here to stay in Kelowna,” Leins said. “Our team is changing all the time with a lot of players coming in from outside the Okanagan, but if we could win it again, maybe more talented youth players in Kelowna would stick with the game and play here. “Hopefully it would encourage more kids to play the game at a higher level.” The other PCSL semifinal Saturday features the Vancouver Thunderbirds and Victoria Highlanders. The winners will play in the PCSL final Sunday at 12:30 p.m. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Hamilton among latest inductees One of Canadian junior hockey’s most successful executives will officially make his way into the B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame on Friday night in Naramata. Kelowna Rockets president and general manager Bruce Hamilton will be enshrined as one of four 2010 hall inductees. The others entering the B.C. Hockey Hall of

Hamilton has payed a key role in the direction and development of the Western Hockey League for the past decade, serving as the chairman of the board from 1998 to 2004 and again from 2008 to the present. Under Hamilton, the Rockets have also gained a reputation as one of the top producers of National Hockey League talent.

Veteran Okanagan Sun DB amped for upcoming season Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Training camp, scrimmages and practices are all fine and dandy, and a necessary part of the process, but Jesse Warawa is ready to get on with the real deal. The veteran defensive back and his Okanagan Sun teammates will have a chance to do just that on Saturday night in Kamloops when they take on the Broncos in the 2010 B.C. Football Conference
Jesse Warawa opener for both clubs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very exciting to finally get it going,â&#x20AC;? said Warawa, in his fifth and
final season of junior football. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scrimmages are one thing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a game situation, but this is completely different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll all be going full out, 100 per cent for the first time. I know all the guys have had enough of practicing and they want to strap it up for real.â&#x20AC;? In the Broncos, the Sun face a young franchise that continues to built its program. Last season Kamloops won just twice in 10 games.
And while the Sun is a heavy favourite and plans to use Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opener to fine tune for the rest of the campaign, Warawa said his club canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave anything to chance against the Broncos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every game is a mustwin game, so you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take any of them lightly,â&#x20AC;? said Warawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like we saw last year, one loss was the difference between finishing second and finishing third. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mentally, I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll use this game to get
organized, see where our strengths and weaknesses are and make sure everybody gets on the same page.â&#x20AC;? In addition to patrolling the defensive backfield, Warawa will return kicks and punts for the Sun this season. Injuries have limited the KSS gradâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return duties the last three years, but Warawa is hoping to make up for lost time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a lot of reps returning the ball because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had injuries, but

As far as the team perspective is concerned, Warawa considers the 2010 Sun to be the most unified group heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen in his five years in brown and orange. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say this team is as close as any team Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here, on and off the field, everybody is friends,â&#x20AC;? said Warawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re motivated, the young guys and the veterans, are weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re

Kelowna Heat finish 9th in fastball provincial finals The defending provincial B champion Kelowna Heat settled for a ninth-place showing out of 16 teams at the B.C. bantam A girls fastball championship in Cloverdale. A pair of one-run losses in the roundrobin last weekend cost the Heat a spot in the playoff round as the top eight teams moved on. Kelowna finished the round robin with a 1-3 record. The Heat opened the tourney with a 3-2 loss to Richmond as they could muster only three hits. In Game 2, the Heat dropped a 13-2 decision to the eventual champion White Rock Renegades 94. In their third game, another one-run setback in a 3-2 loss to Ridge Meadows. The Heatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone victory came in their final game, an 11-4 drubbing of South Surrey White Rock. Taya Skarbo, Felisha Vogelaar and Rachel Penner split the pitching duties, while Morgan Cederholm went 5-for-5 at the plate. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the final result the Heat had hoped for but, according to head coach Bernie Penner, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t due to a lack of effort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proud of the girls,â&#x20AC;? said Penner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was tough competition and they battled hard See Finals A23

▼ SUPER Y LEAGUE
U-16 girls take two tough losses WEST KELOWNA’S Jeff Hayes is out by a half a step at first as Rutland’s Jordan Steel makes the play at the bag in midget AA action during the Valley of Champions baseball tournament at Edith Gay. The Rockies won the midget AA division with an 8-6 win over Ladner. FRED SCHAAD/CONTRIBUTED
The Thompson Okanagan FC U16 girls dropped a pair of close games in Super Y League last weekend on the Lower Mainland. On Saturday, Mountain FC edged the T.O. squad 1-0. Mountain got on the scoreboard late in the first half on a defensive breakdown allowing some good passing to spring the Mountain forward between two TOFC defenders for a clear shot on a defenseless keeper Shalayna Isakson. After a half-time pep talk from coach Darryl Hazell, the TOFC team started much stronger in the second half and carried the play for much of this half. TOFC had one great
chance to tie the game with the ball bouncing back and forth at the Mountain six-yard line but no one could find the net. On Sunday, a better effort from the local girls but the same result in a 1-0 loss to Coquitlam. Thompson Okanagan did not have any outstanding chances to score due to the very strong defensive back line and keeper of the Coquitlam team, but showed excellent ball control and passing skills. This game looked like it would end in a well deserved tie, but an unfortunate turn of events allowed a breakaway by a Coquitlam forward in the late stages of the second half and a goal on defenseless keeper, this time Baily Weymouth.

The Thompson Okanagan FC U14 boys came up short in both games in Super Y League play. On Saturday in Burnaby, Mountain FC defeated TOFC 3-1. Down 2-0, T.O. got on the board late in the first half as Brody Osborne connected on a hard shot after a pass from Ayo Fashanu. Mountain scored the insurance marker late in the second half. On Sunday, TOFC put up a good fight before losing 1-0 to Pacific West division leading Coquitlam MetroFord SC 1-0. TOFC midfielders Brody Osborne, Ayo Fashanu, Matthew Fielding, Tyler Shalansky and Cole Kingzett played a strong game taking control and winning many battles on the ball. Osborne had a great chance in the first half with a long hard shot on net that was saved by the goalie. The solid defensive core of Noah Varley, Jacob Dolinar, Chris Pires, Joe Overton and Ayden Ledding limited the chances of Coquitlam Metro-Ford players as did the stellar goaltending of Victor Gouchee. However, Metro-Ford managed to penetrate TOFC defence to score the first and only goal of the match in the second half

Gerein tops the podium at Canada Cup competition Okanagan Gymnastics Centre’s Curtis Gerein turned in a golden performance at the Canada Cup trampoline competition in Mississauga. Gerein won three gold medals last weekend, taking top spot in all three revents—individual trampoline, double mini trampoline and synchronized trampoline in the men’s youth category. Gerein’s synchronized trampoline partner is Alexandre Bartolo of Quebec. The Canada Cup was
another opportunity for Gerein to tune up for the Youth Olympic Games in Singapore, Aug. 12 to 27. Gerein is the only male trampoline athlete from Canada attending the first ever Youth Olympic Games. Other locals competing at the Canada Cup included Luke Friesen who win silver in the senior men’s double mini trampoline event. Friesen was back after taking a break this season from competing on
the national scene since attending the 2009 World Championships last November. Friesen has shown he is still a strong contender in the senior men’s double mini athletes in Canada. Trevor Stirling competed in the Youth category and finished with a silver medal on the individual trampoline just behind his teammate, Gerein. Rachel Morrison also attended this year’s Canada Cup and competed in the Women’s Novice 15+
category. She qualified for finals in the double mini
trampoline event and finished tenth. The Okana-
gan foursome were accompanied at the Cana-
da Cup by coach Angelo Despotas.

Officers’ courage often overlooked
T
he RCMP and other police forces have been getting a bad rap these days. First there was the Dziekanski enquiry and now a lot of bad feelings over the security at the G20 summit. While there are serious concerns associated with these issues and others, an incident on Monday showed the other side of the coin, illustrating just how far these men and women will go to aid people in the community, risking their own safety to do so.
When the wildfire broke out at Seclusion Bay, two of the RCMP members charged with chivvying people away from the area put their own lives at risk to help an elderly resident to safety, even as the fire was literally burning around them. Trapped first by smoke and unable to drive away, the officers half-carried, half-walked the lady down 500 feet of steep path through the brush to the edge of the lake, as her home began to burn behind them. And for that, Const. Ryan
Routley and Auxiliary Const. Greg Barnard deserve some pats on the back and some cheers. But as magnificent as their story is, it really is only one of many.We often forget about these kind of incidents, especially when tragedies like the Robert Dziekanski taser death takes over news coverage about the RCMP. It’s important to keep in mind that the RCMP members are just people like anyone else — they’re your neighbours, your friends, your teammates for pickup hockey. Yet they are will-
ing to put their lives on the line to ensure someone’s safety. Back in 2003, the firefighters working on the Okanagan Mountain Park blaze received a lot of positive attention. But the work goes on, even when there isn’t a huge blaze being fought or a drug ring to be brought down. These men and women in the emergency services, RCMP, firefighters, ambulance personnel and others, are taking a chance that every day they go to work they may have to put themselves in harm’s way.

BP oil disaster highlights ignorance around oil debate
I
t’s been a great week for our oceans. Just as Coast Salish tribal leaders from B.C. and Washington gathered here to celebrate the official naming of the Salish Sea, oilfield engineers succeeded in capping the offshore well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico. The three-month nightmare of the BP oil platform disaster has highlighted the ignorance and hypocrisy that accompanies debate about oil here in B.C. Superannuated hippies have controlled the urban discourse, just as they did the logging debate 20 years ago. They have long propagated the fantasy that there is no oil produc-
tion or transport in B.C. and that a mythical “moratorium” has protected our fragile coastline from oil-mad Texans and Albertans, ever since truly intelligent, sensitive human life evolved here in the 1960s. This received wisdom was illustrated in the legislature’s final days this spring, when the Opposition seized on a tiny seeping fuel oil leak discovered at the Chevron refinery on Burrard Inlet at Burnaby, and played to the public horror over the BP disaster far to the south.
“This is the premier who wants to end the 40-year moratorium on supertankers on our coast,” shouted NDP environment critic Rob Fleming. Tom “That’s the kind of enFletcher vironmentalist he is.” This is nonsense refined to its purest form. There is a federal moratorium on offshore drilling along B.C.’s West Coast, as there is off California’s coast, but there is no moratorium on tanker traffic and there never has been. There is an exclusion agreement between the Canadian and U.S. fed-
VICTORIA VIEWS
eral governments that tankers carrying Alaska crude will not use the Inside Passage when they bring it down to a cluster of refineries in Washington State. Shell and Tesoro Corp. share a refinery complex at March Point, just outside of Anacortes, Wash., a short ferry ride from B.C. Some of the tankers negotiate the Strait of Juan de Fuca around the tip of Vancouver Island and continue past Anacortes, up to Blaine, just south of the B.C. border. Here BP operates the Cherry Point refinery, Washington’s largest and the destination of the Exxon Valdez on that fateful night in 1989. On the way between the islands
of southern B.C. and Washington, these tankers pass through Rosario Strait, a gap narrower than the Inside Passage, or anything encountered by tankers that already carry light petroleum products into Kitimat. Once the Gulf of Mexico blowout was the talk of Lotus Land coffee shops, it wasn’t long before Vancouver city council determined that there is in fact oil tanker traffic right into the city. First a refinery is discovered in Burnaby, and then it turns out Kinder Morgan’s pipeline is loading ships too! Council immediately launched a task force to assess the appalling risks See FletcherA21

LETTERS
Cyclists accused Young 4x4ers the worst when tailgating drivers on our roads was to blame To the editor: I am very puzzled by the “blame” being assigned in the motorcycle collision last Wednesday (Westside Collision, cover photo and accompanying caption from the July 9 Capital News). Unless there has been a sudden change in regulations that I completely missed, insurance companies and driver education courses make it quite clear that it is the driver’s responsibility to leave a
large enough following distance so that a collision with the vehicle in front will not occur. If the motorcycle couldn’t stop before hitting the truck, then the motorcycle driver was tailgating the truck and is entirely to blame for the accident. What was happening in front of the truck is irrelevant. Rebecca Tyson, Kelowna
To the editor: You are dead right with your assessment of Kelowna drivers (You’re Taking Your Life in Your Hands on our Roads, July 11 Capital News). In my nearly four score years, I have driven in all provinces west of Quebec and 41 of the 48 continental states, and while there are many sane drivers here, nowhere are there also so many rude, discourteous and aggressive ones. The major problem is speed. They exceed the limit by a large margin, passing everyone who
dares to observe the limit. If a car is waiting at a stop sign, many will go on by, only to have to stop for a red light rather than letting one vehicle get ahead of them. If they have left a gap, they will accelerate and blow their horn if anyone dares go out in front of them, rather than simply take their foot off the gas pedal. Some accuse elderly drivers as being the danger on the roads. This is not the case. Elderly drivers don’t take chances. They are not texting, making cell phone calls, run-
ning red lights, or speeding excessively. The majority of accidents are caused by young, aggressive people, in four wheel drive vehicles or small fast cars. Personally, I have driven over a million and a half miles, have had one roll over accident when I was 16, have a clean license and the maximum discount on Autoplan, having never made a claim. How many of your aggressive drivers can match that? Gordon Maddaford, Kelowna
Scientist still bickering over climate change To the editor: If there’s any issue that’s got science rabidly divided over whose experts are more credible, it’s the climate change debate. The recent column by David Suzuki (July 18 Westside Capital News) is loaded with emotionallycharged words (like “disingenuous clowns”) as he lashes out at the damnable deniers. The issue is hard enough for the general public to try to make sense of, without this shoot-out among so-called scientists. There are those ardent supports—like Suzuki—who believe that humans have caused warming of the global atmosphere by our overuse of carbon-based fuels. There are those who accept that the world’s climate is, indeed, being affected in serious ways, but the cause is not clear.
Then, there are the few who dismiss the idea of climate change altogether. I think the layman can make sense of the situation by exercising some common sense. Surely we can put aside the fringe who can’t see climate change happening all around us, as records are broken in various parts of the world, either for warm or for cold temperatures (both being expected effects of climate instability). So, the primary question is whether humans have caused the effects or not. While scientists like Suzuki point their fingers at humanity, they conveniently ignore various concurrent phenomena. Why is the world experiencing a rash of earthquakes of significant intensity, occurring in diverse areas? Is this phenomenon also to be blamed on human activity?
What about the curious, and troublesome breakout of sink-holes? If you think the sink-hole in Quebec was the only one to hit the news lately, then you haven’t been paying attention. Similar things have been happening, even more dramatically but generally without loss of life, in various locales, including the U.S. eastern states, Central America, and China. After NASA was predicting a particularly active cycle of sun-spots to begin around 2009, what really happened is a strange quiescent period of very few sun-spots, and very little coronal mass ejections. No one has ventured a credible explanation, apart from the randomness of natural cycles. People, there is something serious afoot here, of which climate change
is but one symptom. You owe it to your family to do some research, and at least read some of the theories proposed for the weird behavior of our planet and its neighbours. And don’t fall for the over-wrought fulmination of media science gurus like Suzuki, who never address the discrepancies raised by other scientists whom they label derisively as climate skeptics. Instead, they invoke those tired, pejorative adjectives to discredit them and their objections without any thought or genuine discussion. Such shameful behavior by so-called objective science does nothing to enlighten we the people who pay their salaries, expecting information, not ideological rhetoric. Whether Suzuki really believes humans ‘cause’ climate change, or is purposefully using the issue
to promote his environmental agenda is not clear. I find it hard to believe that he is sold out to the anthropogenic warming argument; but easy to believe that he can see a golden opportunity to further the goal of environmental protection for which he has campaigned for so many years. So, one can laud him for wanting to use a hot issue to further a noble cause; yet, it is ignoble for a scientist/journalist of the stature of David Suzuki to engage in the same despicable game of namecalling and sweeping accusations. We’d all like to breath cleaner air, and reverse our dependence on carbon fuels; but it should be done on the basis of truth, not exploitation of media controversies. John Krzyzewski, West Kelowna
Seclusion Bay residents thank fire fighting team To the editor: The owners of Seclusion Bay Resort would like to send a giant thanks to the B.C. Forest Service, the Peachland, West Kelowna and Summerland Fire Rescue and all sur-
rounding fire departments for working so tirelessly to save our homes and property at Seclusion Bay Resort. It was a hot, tiring and terrifying task, but you threw yourselves into it
with everything you had and because of that, fire damage at the resort was fairly minimal. We will never be able to repay the huge debt that we owe you for putting your lives on the line
for us. We would also like to extend a huge thanks to the RCMP, emergency services, and all other personnel who were abso-
lutely incredible in their professionalism. You are truly amazing people. Lori Burns, Seclusion Bay Resort
Burnaby oil refinery ‘discovered’ Express yourself Fletcher from A20 of oil transport that has proceeded safely for decades while council studied things like a dead stump in Stanley Park. It turns out even “tar sands” oil is shipped out of Vancouver. No doubt the city’s latte-sippers would be happier if this unsightly business moved up to Kitimat.
Enter Michael Ignatieff, the latest leader of the party that declared Canada a peacekeeping nation. (Again, this assumes history began in the 1960s.) Ignatieff’s nuanced position on oil exports is that no pipeline should be built to convey Alberta crude to Kitimat. Condensate can continue to go into Kitimat by ship and
to Alberta by rail, where it is used to dilute heavy oil. The resulting crude can go by pipeline to Vancouver, where tankers weave through the island-dotted arteries of B.C.’s urban heart. Call it the “screw Kitimat” policy. Or just plain screwy. Tom Fletcher is a columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

ENTERTAINMENT Music to take your mind off your troubles
Barry Gerding EDITOR
The Oak Ridge Boys are not yet ready to retire their unique four-part harmony of country and gospel music just yet. For Richard Sterban, one of the four singers in the quartet, the fun of singing live on stage is still exciting for the group which started back in 1973. “(Singing live) is what we live for,” Sterban told the Capital News in a recent interview. “Fans tell us often the same thing, that music is very important for people in life…come and spend an hour and a half or two hours with us at a concert and we can take your mind off whatever your troubles are in your life at the time.” The Oak Ridge Boys will be bringing their musical break to Kelowna fans for a concert July 31 at the Kelowna Community Theater. Sterban and his Oak Ridge Boys cohorts Joe Bonsall, William Lee Golden and Duane Allen originally found their niche in gospel music, a genre that they remain faithful to today.
THE OAK RIDGE BOYS perform at the Kelowna Community Theatre, 7:30 p.m., on Saturday, July 31. “Gospel music is something our four-part harmony plays very naturally toward, but we’ve always embraced different music styles,” said Sterban, who noted the group’s new album, The Boys Are Back, includes songs that range from gospel to others penned by songwriters such as Neil Young, Jack White and Jamey Johnson. “Our latest project is more diverse and unique than anything we have done before. We are trying to appeal a little to the younger audience.” He compares it as a similar departure to what Johnny Cash did on his final two albums before he died, revisiting his musical roots working with
producer Rick Rubin. In their case, the catalysts for a different musical direction in the studio were producer David Cobb and songwriter Shooter Jennings, son of country music legend Waylon Jennings. “We got to explore gospel, blues, country and rock musical textures brought together on one album. It was a real energizing process for all of us.” But having said that, Sterban said the group has no plans to abandon or disappoint its long-time fans in a concert. “We’ll do some of the new stuff but all the old favourites will still be there because that’s what our fans want to hear, and we have no problem
CONTRIBUTED
with that. We look forward to it. “ The Oak Ridge Boys came together in 1973 and were lauded as one of the premier gospel singing groups. But they outraged some gospel purists by letting their hair grow long, stopped wearing matching suits and began dipping into the country music genre. In all, the group account for 23 No. 1 singles on the country charts, and their big hit, Elvira, crossed them over to the pop charts as well. While having one mega-hit can sometimes overshadow a musical group’s identity, Sterban says Elvira gave the group a national cross-over identity that has opened new doors
musically for them ever since. “When we do Elivira in the show, the audience just goes crazy,” laughs Sterban. “We don’t feel that way (about having to always sing that song). We wished we had three or four more Elviras.” The Oak Ridge Boys were inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2000, and were recently presented the Pioneer Award, the top honour from the Academy of Country Music. “I think one of the reasons we’ve been around so long is because we enjoy performing and performing with each other. I think that is something that our fans recognize,” Sterban said. “We’re also at a point in our career where we don’t have the pressure to have a hit song…but even after all these years the spark or fire still burns in each of us to get out there and keeping doing it.” The Oak Ridge Boys will perform at the Kelowna Community Theatre, 7:30 p.m., on Saturday, July 31.

here have been very few women in Hollywood that have been successful as action stars. However, I am going to say that Angelina Jolie is currently the biggest action star in movies—male or female.
MOVIE GUY
Grand 10
Rick Davis ANGELINA JOLIE continues to prove that women can be action stars too in her latest movie titled Salt. I say this because not only has she been able to carry action movies as the lead (Wanted, The Lara Croft series), but in her newest movie, Salt, she took over a role that was originally written for Tom Cruise. While some changes had to be made to the script, the story of an undercover CIA operative accused of being a Russian mole and having to go on the run to defend themself remains intact. What is most impressive is that most of the stunts are real and the filmmakers limited the use of special effects. Jolie even suffered a minor head injury during filming. Director Phillip Noyce is no stranger to smart action movies. He first caught the world’s attention with the thriller Dead Calm starring Nicole Kidman and went on to direct the two Jack Ryan thrillers starring Harrison Ford—Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger. Ramona and Beezus is based on the books by Beverly Clearly, about Ramona (Joey King), a
precocious third grader with a vivid imagination, boundless energy and accident-prone antics that keeps everyone on their toes. But her irrepressible sense of fun, adventure and mischief come in handy when she puts her mind to helping save her family’s home. This one is definitely not for the Salt crowd, but for fans of the book series, which spans at least two generations, and of rising star Selena Gomez, who plays Beezus. John Corbett, Bridget Moynahan, Josh Duhamel and Sandra Oh are included in the cast to appeal to the older audience who come with the young ’uns. The Ramona series of books was actually first adapted into a TV series by the CBC and starred Canadian actor and now director Sarah Polley. The Okanagan International Film Festival is on this weekend and it is your chance to see some of the best Canadian and international short films and full-length features from both veteran and up-and-coming film-
makers. There are events too numerous to mention at different venues all around downtown Kelowna including the Paramount Theatre.

There’s nothing like real Italian olive oil W ith summer comes our most diverse flavour palette of the year. The magnificent array of fruits, veggies and herbs truly makes my heart sing. The best way to enhance their natural beauty is with a drizzle of good olive oil. Choosing olive oil should be taken as seriously as choosing a bottle of wine. Olive oil should not just be a tasteless gloss on your food; high quality olive oil adds another flavour dimension. If you have travelled to Italy and France you will most likely remember your first “real” olive oil experience. There are so many colours and flavours to choose from, once returning home it is depressing to see that most of the oils available here just do not reflect the intensity and diversity. That said, my taste buds sprang to attention recently when I popped open a bottle of olive oil

Jennifer Schell sent to me by a brand new import company in Kelowna. The Olive Oil Merchant is a mother-daughter operation— mother is here in Kelowna and daughter has been residing in Italy. Daughter Teresa Kuhn grew up in B.C., living between Vancouver and Kelowna. In her youth, she travelled many times to Italy to visit her mom Brenda Korby’s Italian family. Smitten with the lifestyle there, at 29 she packed up her PR biz, rented out her apartment and left for Milan where she met her future husband and decided to stay. The Olive Oil Merchant business was launched this year fol-
lowing Teresa and her family’s plan to return one day to Canada. She says that ”the idea of not having access to real, made in Italy, products terrified her because the majority of what is imported into Canada is not authentic— it’s what we call “Italiansounding.” Already embraced by the chefs at Vancouver’s award winning Italian restaurant Cibo and La Quercia and locally at Mission Hill’s Terrace Restaurant and the Local Lounge and Grille in Summerland— you too can add this key ingredient to your home kitchen. All products are available for mail order from: www.oliveoilmerchant.com. The Olive Oil Merchant has graciously offered my Kelowna city resident readers a coupon code for FREE SHIPPING. All you have to do is enter the code: “kelownaship” at the checkout phase. Make sure to keep
checking for new product arrivals on the website: www.oliveoilmerchant.com. “The olive tree is surely the richest gift of heaven”—Thomas Jefferson. Like fine wines, these olive oils have their own tasting notes. One of my new favorites is Vantera (Campania). This golden yellow, tending to green, extra virgin from Campania is a blend of three olive types: Ortice, Leccino and Racioppella. It’s has fruity with vegetable tones of grass and green tomato with a well-balanced level of pepperiness and bitterness. Strongly flavoured and harmonious, this is Teresa’s daughter’s favourite. Ranked 89/100 by “L’extravergine”—the Guide to the Best Quality Oils in the World—2008 and 2009 Editions, it’s available in both 500 ml and 750 ml dark glass bottles. $15.50 Try bathing a piece
of halibut or salmon in this luscious oil and simply roast it or wrap it in tin foil on the barbecue. Teresa shares her Olive Oil Cake recipe, below. Made with Tenuta Rasciatano Green Label (but another robustly flavoured EVOO would work too), this recipe creates an “absolutely delicious, moist and not too sweet” cake. She suggests serving it with a slice of ripe pear on the side and says “this is the type of cake that Italians would have in the morning for breakfast with their cappuccino or eat with a fork out of the pan at midnight when everyone else is sleeping—or maybe that’s just me.” (Love this girl.)

Inspiration through empathy: Living with mental illness Jamie Moran
various meetings and courses regarding mental illness. While in Vancouver, she was offered a position in providing wellness and recovery planning for individuals with mental illness. “I found I had a talent for translating the doctor talk to regular people” said Lorelei. She is now living completely organic. With her newfound skill set, she came to Kelowna and started a peer support group session that occurs once a week at the Kelowna and District Branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association. “Our group is passionate, loving and empathetic, and they are so good to each other. A lot of us are hypersensitive, and with that comes great responsibility to control and manage our emotions,” said Lorelei, who maintains a positive outlook. “It keeps me well and grounded and balanced; if I’m not living what I’m
CONTRIBUTOR
For Lorelei Andrews (not her real name), volunteering to offer support to local individuals living with mental illness is cornerstone to her daily life. I had a chance to talk with her about her story and the current state of services in Kelowna for individuals living with mental illness. She has worked as a server, a wedding planner, a full-time student (earning two degrees), and a bridal consultant. In fact, she started one bridal gallery in Vancouver that has now become the largest in Canada, which may even be the venue for an upcoming television reality show. However, about five years into her whirlwind career, she began experiencing anxiety. “I was used to delivering 100 per cent all the time, I required it of my-
self,” recalled Lorelei. She came to the point that with so much pressure, she started to think of the sale instead of the client. As a very thoughtful and empathetic person, she felt her selfworth sliding. What began as a dip in productivity ended up with her entering “selfpreservation mode,” and being prescribed various medications to balance out—resulting in a near comatose state for several months. Lorelei is living with a mental illness. As productive and successful as she was, it struck her where she least expected it. It can happen to anyone: the successful executive, the homeless man asking for change, the young woman serving
your coffee. In fact, one in three Canadians will experience some form of mental illness in their lifetime— one in five will experience it this year. After several rounds with psychiatrists, hospitalization and group therapy sessions, Lorelei was diagnosed first with bipolar disorder, which involves extreme mood swings. She has since been more correctly diagnosed with pervasive post-traumatic stress disorder with symptoms of borderline personality disorder. Lorelei was lucky. She had the drive and motivation to pick herself up and learn about her illness. After the incorrect diagnosis, she began to self-advocate and attend
teaching, things don’t go well.” What makes this group unique is the focus on mental health, rather than mental illness, which is steeped in stigma. Peers learn how to self-soothe and tolerate stress, as well as about the impact of mental illness in living a happy, healthy life. “I’m inspired by what I see when I help someone change their perspective about what’s been bothering them. It’s the same thing I used to see in a girl’s eyes when she realized she was wearing the dress she was getting married in.” To learn more about living with mental illness, and to hear stories such as Lorelei’s, visit the CMHA Kelowna website at www. kelowna.cmha.bc.ca. *** CMHA Kelowna, in partnership with Interior Health, is also holding a community forum regarding the state of mental health and addictions

Genesis Coupe: Big performance, great price Manual coupe: 3.8-litre V6, 306 hp, 266 lb/ft of torque. Neil Moore CONTRIBUTOR
I’ve heard the Genesis Coupe referred to as Hyundai’s replacement for the Tiburon. Fair enough. The Tib has ceased production and the Genesis is Hyundai’s only sports coupe. But that aside, don’t assume these vehicles are in any way comparable. The Tiburon was a front driver, and as expected, its handling suffered from torque steer. The Genesis, like any true performance car, sends its power to the rear wheels. And speaking of power, the V6-powered Tib mustered only 172 horses and 181 lb/ft of torque. I won’t even mention the four banger. The base engine in the Genesis is a 16-valve, DOHC 2.0-litre turbocharged intercooled 4-cylinder that delivers 210 hp and 223 lb/ft of torque at a low 2,000 rpm. We’ll get to the potent V6
later. The Genesis also has a more sophisticated suspension setup, along with standard traction control, stability control and a longer list of standard equipment. We haven’t even mentioned the look. I won’t knock the Tiburon, as I liked the styling of its last generation, but the Genesis is in a different league. Its wide body, powerful curves and tapered greenhouse are a nod to the more expensive Infiniti G37 Coupe, one of the premium cars it was benchmarked against. It is easily the most attractive vehicle in the Hyundai lineup. And as for price, we can’t really compare the entry Genesis Coupe 2.0T (MSRP $24,495 with manual), with the base four-cylinder Tiburon. But the V6-powered model that ranged from the mid-twenties to around 30-grand was similarly priced, and in my opinion, not nearly the value. The base Coupe comes standard with a six-speed See Hyundai B2

THE INTERIOR of the 2010 Genesis Coupe is
attractively laid out, with a nice mix of textures and metallic accents, and with blue gauge illumination. All models but the base get leather seating, and in GT trim (pictured), a navigation system is added.
Hyundai builds cars people aspire to own tHyundai from B2 the GT model enhances rthis capable coupe with such features as a Brembo braking package with red four-piston calipers, 13.4inch ventilated rotors in front (13.0-inch in rear), GT calibrated suspension, tfront strut tower brace and big 19 inch aluminum alloys. k You also get a touch screen navigation system twith 6.5-inch display. Punch the accelerator, and the Coupe comes to life with power that builds quickly from launch. The engine’s brawny torque curve continues to deliver robust acceleration (zero to 100 km/h in approx. 6 seconds), even as you near its 6,500 rpm redline. And as you climb in revs, the howl from its dual exhausts is a delight to the ears. Throttle tip-in is a bit abrupt, and with the coupe’s heavy clutch, smooth starts can take a conscious effort at first. The traction control system is effective at keeping the wheels in check, but it can be disabled at the push of a button for on-demand wheelspin—or a little drifting around corners. Ride, as you’d expect in this kind of car, suits the needs of the driving enthusiast with flat cornering, precise steering and plenty of road feel. I didn’t find it harsh, but was well aware of any choppy pavement. If you’re used to the pliant ride of a family sedan, the Coupe may take some getting used to. Inside, especially in top trim, this car does not
disappoint. There’s an abundance of plastic, but the mix of textures, along with metallic accents, blue gauge illumination and the leather seating (standard on all trim levels except for base), creates a cabin that may not be as posh as its sedan sibling, but is more than competitive for its segment. And keep in mind that the Coupe in top trim is priced where the Genesis Sedan begins. Up front, the Coupe’s wide body provides plenty of passenger room, and the well-bolstered bucket seats offer excellent lateral support for spirited driving. Knee room in back, as you’d expect in a sports coupe, is cramped for larger occupants, and headroom is compromised by the sloping roofline. Still, it was fine for my kids, and will do, in a pinch, for mid-sized adult passengers. The trunk is long and shallow, but provides adequate space for a couple of golf bags or a few overnight suitcases—and the rear seats fold for added capacity. The Genesis Coupe has plenty of competition in its price range, such as the Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Challenger, Mitsubishi Eclipse and Honda Accord Coupe. But it is, in some respects, a premium product that can also compete with the likes of the Nissan 370Z, Infiniti G37 Coupe, and even the BMW 335i—another vehicle it was benchmarked against. This car is yet another example of how far Hyundai has come in the

▼ DISPELLING MYTHS
HST does not affect new car purchases New Car Dealers Association of B.C. president discusses HST Blair Qualey CONTRIBUTOR
With the introduction of the Harmonized Sales Tax in British Columbia on July 1, some misinformation has surfaced related to the HST and its affect on new car purchases. In fact, the new HST has zero effect on the amount of tax that will be paid on a new car, and some consumers will even pay less for their vehicle under the new tax rules. New car dealers across B.C. are receiving phone calls from consumers who are concerned that the new blended tax will make a new car unobtainable. The reality is that both the GST and PST, which are blended together to form the new HST, were already charged on
all new vehicle purchases prior to the introduction of the blended tax. This means that the total tax we must charge on a new vehicle remains exactly the same—12 per cent—as before July 1. Some new vehicle consumers will actually find savings with the HST when they visit our showrooms, in that its introduction means the elimination of the vehicle “luxury tax” of up to three per cent on new cars worth more than $55,000. Consumers who are researching to purchase a used vehicle should also know that the combined tax rate means that private sales are now subject to the same tax as public sales. This means that, dollar-for-dollar, buying a
used car from a private seller will cost the same— if not more, due to the competitive pricing that only an established dealer can offer compared to buying from a new car dealership. Our industry is transitioning out of an undeniably difficult time with exciting technological advances and low sticker prices showcased on
the showroom floors of new car dealers across this province. Consumer confidence is returning and we continue to closely monitor the needs and concerns of our consumers to ensure we are offering the clearest information available with regards to perceived impacts of the HST. The introduction of the HST has no affect on
purchases made on new cars in B.C., and therefore the current industry climate continues to offer consumers the perfect conditions under which to research and buy a new vehicle.

said, Pitt Moos, product manager for the smart electric program. In Canada, a federal financing program is still being finalized but we’re told to expect a subsidized leasing structure. Currently, Ontario is the only jurisdiction to step up to the plate with subsidies of up to $10,000 for electric cars. The smart electric has a range of about 135 km, but trials in the U.K. have shown that customers begin to think in terms of hours of use (four to five hours of travel time) rather than distance driven. Heating and cooling reduce the range, but preheating and cooling options allow you to get the car to an appropriate interior temperature before you start your journey. Top speed of 100 km/h make it a city car.

Are electric cars the way of the future? Even the brightest minds in the automotive industry can’t answer that with any certainty. Mercedes-Benz initial trial into the market is modest, with 1,500 cars being produced. Of those, only 45 are earmarked for Canada. New York City may have been the perfect place to introduce these new models to North America. After all, just after the turn of the century about half the cars in New York City were electric powered. That was until the electric starter was invented and installed on a Cadillac. The rest, as they say, is history and the gasolinepowered automobile has dominated ever since. For smart, it was only a matter of time before they built an electric vehicle,

utility vehicle lineup a short time later. “TDI (diesel) is where we’ll be in the near future,” said Volkswagen Canada group president John White last year at the media preview of the Touareg TDI. He predicted 60 per cent of future Touareg sales would be diesels, but in actual fact it has turned out to be about 90 per cent, according to Thomas Tetzlaff, public relations manager of Volkswagen Canada. Overall, in the first half of 2010, 28.5 per cent
of Volkswagen Canada’s new vehicle sales have been powered by TDI clean diesel engines. That has helped VW set new sales records in this country in the first six months of the year with more than 22,000 units delivered, including 437 Touaregs. And while Volkswagen will have a hybrid available for its second generation Touareg in 2011, diesel is where they are placing their emphasis during 2010. The partnership is a good one, particularly in a mid-size SUV like the Touareg that can be a bit of
a gas-guzzler if powered by the 3.6-litre V6 gasoline engine. That version turns in Transport Canada fuel consumption numbers of 14.8L/100 km (19 mpg) city and 10.4L/100 km (27 mpg) highway. With the TDI clean diesel, the numbers improve significantly to 11.9 L/100 km (24 mpg) city and 8.0L/100 km (35 mpg) highway. And remember that in most areas these days, diesel fuel is a few cents cheaper per litre than gasoline. According to Volkswagen, the 0-100 km/h time is a touch quicker with the
gasoline engine, but the 3.0 TDI engine gets the hefty body of the Touareg up to speed in 9.4 seconds (8.9 with the 3.6-litre V6). The big difference is the torque output, 406 lb/ft with the diesel compared with 265 lb/ft with the gasoline version. The TDI does come at a $4,000 premium, however, on both Comfortline and Highline trim levels. Both engines are mated with a six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. My tester was the Comfortline TDI model, See VW B7

priced at $49,300 (the 3.6L automatic is $45,300). Added to that were the Technology Package t($3,450), Sport Package ($3,500) and towing hitch ($700), bringing the price as tested to $56,950. t With the Technology Package comes a touch screen satellite navigation system with 30 GB hard drive, rear view camera, media device interface with iPod connectivity, 600 watt, 10-speaker Dynaudio sound system and multi-function instrumentation display. The Sport Package, which is new for 2010, includes 20-inch alloy wheels, sport suspension, silver roof rails and an exterior body package. I’m not a big SUV fan, but I’ve always liked the look of the Touareg. My tester was dressed in a very nice Shadow Blue Metallic paint colour that was particularly striking, helped in part by the big 20-inch wheels. Inside was beige leatherette upholstery and trim that also gave it a luxurious appearance. However, if I had to live with it every day, I imagine it would be a chore keeping it clean. This is a big truck weighing in at 2,332 kg (5,100 lb) that doesn’t feel its size. The TDI engine gets you up to speed nicely and there’s little of that diesel clatter that was so prevalent in older diesel engines. It’s a little noisier at start up but that’s about the only time you notice it. In fact, after nearly a week with it, my wife still wasn’t aware we were driving a diesel until I had to fill it up. In my area, diesel fuel is readily available and outside of the smell when you fill the tank, there’s
little to dissuade people from buying a diesel these days. The turbocharged V6 diesel has only 225 hp, but the 406 lf/ft of torque is what makes the engine so formidable. It will tow up to 3,500 kg and would be an ideal boat- or camper trailer-hauler with its 4MOTION full-time allwheel drive. The roads were perfectly dry during my week-long test drive, but having driven an earlier Touareg in snowy conditions, I’m confident this was also make a great vehicle for trips into ski country. With seating for five, the front buckets are very comfortable and with easy access to both front and rear seats. The cabin is incredibly quiet for a diesel and the ride, thanks to the four-wheel independent suspension is fairly soft for a mid-size SUV that also has very good offroad capabilities. Volkswagen bills its TDI as one of the cleanest diesels on the planet thanks to its ability to reduce harmful nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 90 per cent. To do this, a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalytic converter is used. The oxidation catalytic converter and a particulate filter are integrated into the emissions system. A solution called AdBlue is then injected into the system to treat the exhaust. It is made up of water and urea and has to be replenished by the dealer every 15,000 km although actual usage will vary depending upon on hard you push the vehicle. If the vehicle runs out of AdBlue you won’t be able to start it so Touareg owners can buy small containers of it to top up

CR-Z puts fun into hybrid Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR
Can you have fun and drive a hybrid? Honda thinks they

have the answer to that in the 2011 CR-Z. For those who go back a bit, the CR-X made from 1983-1991 was one of the most endearing cars Honda ever made. It was a small sporty coupe based on the Civic that had basically two seats with pert, chopped off tail. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot of power but the CR-X more than made up for that with nimble handing, frugal operation, affordable pricing and a whole lot of character. That Honda chose the name CR-Z was not lost on journalists attending the press launch in Toronto although Honda claims itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a coincidence. Right. Nonetheless, the CR-Z is also a two-seat sporty coupe with a pert, chopped off tail and styling that screams, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This car is a blastâ&#x20AC;?. And while the old CR-X was great on the gas, the new car goes a big one better; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hybrid. The CR-Z starts with a 1.5-litre, SOHC fourcylinder gasoline engine based on the unit used in the Fit. By itself, the en-

LOOKING LIKE the sassy sporty car it is, the 2011 Honda CR-Z is also one of the most affordable hybrids on the Canadian market. It is seen as a return to Honda core values of being frugal to operate and fun to drive. gine produces 113 hp and 107 lb/ft of torque. It is then hooked up a new, thinner, lighter electric motor which is part of Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) approach to hybrid cars. Unlike Toyota where the engine augments the battery, Honda uses the lithium-ion rechargeable battery to give the engine
an extra shot of acceleration and torque, kind of like an electric supercharger. The motor gives 13 more horsepower, but more importantly, 58 lb/ft of torque. When they are combined the CR-V gives a rated 122 hp and 128 lb/ ft of torque. You may notice that 107 and 58 lb/ft of torque donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t add up to
128 lb/ft. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the two power plants make peak torque at quite different RPMs. The 128 lb/ft therefore is a rating of what torque is produced in real world conditions. FYI, estimated fuel consumption is 6.5/5.3/6.0L/100 km city/ highway/combined with the standard six-speed manual transmission and
5.6/5.0/5.5L/100 km city/ highway/combined for the optional Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). When it comes to the fun part, there are actually several ways to do it. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get to the ride and handling in a bit, but first is the 3-Mode Drive System. To the left of the instrument panel are three
buttons marked Sport, Normal and Econ. Normal is the standard setting for engine response, steering, IMA and air conditioning. The engine always defaults to Normal at startup. Econ optimizes the system so IMA uses less power for better fuel consumption See Honda B10

along with cutting back the power draw of the air conditioning. Power gives IMA priority toward performance by increasing throttle and electric steering response. Similar to the Honda Insight Hybrid, you can turn watching your fuel consumption into a game. The main instrument ahead of the driver is a very large tachometre in the centre of which is a round gauge giving a digital display for speed and other driver info. But around the edge of this gauge is a coloured ring that ranges from green for good mileage, to blue for not the best mileage to red for being fuel naughty. When you’re in Sport, the ring stays red all the time, almost glaring at you. In Normal, the ring transitions from green to blue to the point it is a like a video game where being green means you’re good. Soon you find yourself feathering the throttle and braking hard to increase regenerative power to the battery in order to be as green as possible. Econ mode means green almost all of the time. But there’s a catch. Econ retards the IMA and engine to the point that the car is very sluggish off the line. You’d think this would be great in the city, but with all manner of high-powered cars and trucks behind you, operating in Sport is almost mandatory. Surprisingly to me, Econ worked best on sub-
urban streets on the outskirts of the big city where the pace is more relaxed and civilized. Hit Sport when you’re in Normal and you’ll feel the surge of power come in. Go from Econ to Sport and the CR-Z vaults ahead. Go from Sport to Econ on the highway and it’s like you popped a parachute. At a stop, the engine shuts off and turns off the air to cut fuel consumption. Press in the clutch and the IMA starts the engine and off you go. Out on the road, the handling was like a small sportscar, precise and with great feedback. At a closed course slalom, people were throwing the CR-Z around with great abandon with one journalist delighting in the lowend torque and the fact he could get the tail to hang out on hairpin turns. On a highway north of Toronto, I drove the car mostly in Normal and my co-driver mostly in Sport. The sports tuned suspension is already pretty good, but it’s even better in Sport allowing you to enjoy the car and stay under the posted speed limit all at the same time. We also got a lot of looks in the CR-Z, mostly from kids but also from a lot of Honda driver/ owners. At a stop for coffee a woman pulled up beside me in a Honda Insight Hybrid and exclaimed how she and like-minded hybrid owners are changing

the world as she lit up a cigarette—go figure. t One thing you will have to get used to is the view through the rear window panel. Like the Insight Hybrid the liftgate is chopped off at the back with a vertical window. rThe problem is there is a thick seam where the liftgate window meets the back window that is directly in the line of sight, partially blocking the view of cars behind. There is cargo space for up to 711 litres. The
CR-Z comes with a rear cargo cover that can be fitted at three different levels. In addition, there is a rear cargo console behind the front seats providing a hidden storage area complete with two-zone tray. I said there are several ways to have fun in this car and another is cost. If you were expecting to pay $30,000 or more, forget it.

Choosing a driving school for your new driver KATE WELLS We all dream of the day our son or daughter turns 16 and they can drive. We picture it in our minds – they go to ICBC, pass their learner’s test and drive home. Simple isn’t it? Not anymore! Driving itself is much more complex than people often think. Each new driver must master many skills not only to be successful on ICBC’s difficult road test, but to be a safe and defensive driver for the rest of their driving career. For some parents, teaching their new driver is easy. It comes naturally and they get along great together in the car. For others, the experience can range from somewhat disappointing to downright horrendous. But no matter what your situation is, some skills are best left to the professionals to teach. Here are a few tips to consider when shopping around for driver training for your new driver:
Full Driving Course: August 4th - 3 Summers Days August 10th - 5 Summer Mornings August 31st - 3 Summer Days
• ICBC licences all driving schools. Make sure you can visibly see a driving school licence when choosing your school.
approach rather than “lecture only.” Simulators can also teach necessary maneuvers in a safe environment.
• Ask for a written list of prices. Any professional school will have professional literature. You can often see the quality of a school by what you receive.
• Choose a program that has references to your specific province. After all – that’s where you are driving.
• Experienced instructors: How much training do they receive? Are they upgraded on their skills? What’s the hiring process? • If you are choosing a school that offers a full program, including classroom and in-car training, do they have courses starting all the time? Beware of schools who don’t begin courses until they have enough students and offer to do the in-car portion before they start in the classroom. This is not how a program should begin. • Does the school use driving simulators? Driving simulators are the most current form of a teaching aid that keeps the classroom sessions more interactive. They use a much more “hands-on”
• Ask around – Have you heard anything about the school? Do you see their cars a lot on the roads? Chances are if they are visible and busy, they are doing something right. • Visit their facilities – this is a MUST! • Do they have an office with customer service agents to answer questions, schedule lessons and help with anything else you may need? Remember, you are making an investment in your future when choosing driver training for your new driver. Don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions. For more information, www.icbc.com can also help you make the best choice in driver training.

DAWSON, STUART TAYLOR Stuart Dawson, aged 64 of Kelowna BC, passed away on Thurs, 15 July 2010 at Hospice House due to cancer. Stu was born in Chilliwack, BC on 5 December 1945 to Canadian Army veterans Helen (née Soper) and Winston (‘Scotty’) Dawson. Oldest brother of Doug (Kelowna), Greg (Toronto) and Ian (Kelowna), Stu spent his early childhood in Prince George BC. He spent the majority of his adolescent years in Kelowna, wreaking havoc by driving cars too fast, attempting to burn down Knox Mountain, playing trumpet in any band he could and shooting pool when he should have been attending classes at Kelowna Secondary School with his girlfriend Joan Burnett and her brother Don. In short, he was hell on wheels! Things didn’t change until he enrolled in the Royal Canadian Navy in 1965 and went to Basic Training in Cornwallis NS. They managed to tame him-sort of. Stu was posted to Victoria BC and commenced his Weapons Undersea Technician training but not before meeting Ruby-Ann Tomshak at a house party back home in Kelowna. Love blossomed, then marriage and in 1967, son Scott Taylor Dawson was born. Daughter Stacey Marie joined the family in 1969. Stu served on HMCS Stettler for a short time and didn’t enjoy hitting his head on the bulkhead every time he went through a doorway or getting seasick. By fortunate coincidence, a high-ranking officer in the Navy Band Branch passed below a window one day when Stu was practising trumpet ashore and switched him over to a life as a military musician. From that point, Stu went to the CF School of Music for two years of intense training to become a clarinet/saxophonist and graduated top of his class. He was posted to the Naden Band in Victoria where he remained until 1989, interrupted by a two-year stint with the CFRC Cornwallis band in 1977. Having divorced in 1984, Stu met Heather Davis in the Naden Band, married in 1989 and were posted together to Halifax to serve under the baton of Stu’s lifelong friend, Jim Forde. After retiring in 1994, Stu helped build Heather’s dream home near Peggy’s Cove but they only stayed another 2 years before Heather was posted as Commanding Officer/Director of Music of The Royal Canadian Artillery Band in Edmonton AB. When she retired in 2003, they decided to move to Kelowna to be with their parents and siblings. Stu quickly re-established himself in the musical community, joining the Almost Elvis tribute band and Kelowna City Band (KCB). He formed Dawson Brothers Contracting with brothers Doug and Ian and installed cabinets, built decks, laid flooring and miscellaneous construction jobs for appreciative clients. Stu and Heather could be seen around town playing in bands: she on keyboards, he playing clarinet under her baton as Director of KCB and saxophone at Penticton Elvis Festival. He was also an avid salmon fisherman, and a crack shot with a rifle. He was a regular at Chances Casino where people regarded him as the luckiest S.O.B. they knew. Stu predeceased his parents. Besides children Scott (and wife Allison) and Stacey, Stu leaves behind grandchildren Brianna, Kayla, Jerryn and Rhys, nieces and nephews Remy Jones-Dawson, Drew, Mike and Jim, and in-laws Maureen and Don Davis. Among his scores of friends, he held Jim Forde, Dale Melin, Paul Mascioli and Bob Lessard closest to his heart. Stu was responsible for providing happiness to thousands of people over the course of his life. As a musician, he fronted dance bands-both civilian and military-and played in front of Canadian and foreign dignitaries, heads of state and royalty. Admirals and Generals knew him by name and people were eager to buy him a drink, hoping to get ‘their song’ played. When in a position of leadership (formal or not) Stu would sometimes feel the need for adjusting the attitude of one of his peers or even bosses. Curiously, the ‘target’ always seemed to respect Stu just as much after, as before. Stu lived life large, with a smile and talent as big as his heart. He wanted his friends and family to know that you made his life worth living; don’t give up on your dreams and it’s never too late to start another career. Life is too short but it is awfully wide. Stu was cremated on 19 July 2010 and his ashes will be scattered on Lake Okanagan and Beecher Bay Victoria. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Army Navy Air Force Club in Kelowna (Rutland) on Sunday 25 July 2010 at 2 pm. A second event will be held in Victoria in August, date TBA. Please contact handstu@shaw for details. Donations are gratefully accepted by Kelowna City Concert Band Society payable at any branch of Interior Savings Credit Union. And finally, goodbye Stu from Heather-I will see you on the other side. You will always be My friend, My love, My life.

PRE-HST SAVINGS
EXTENDED The Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) came into effect on July 1, increasing the cost of funerals by 7%. In many cases, this amounts to an increase of $500 or more.
Passed away on Tuesday, July 20, 2010 at the age of 90. She is survived by her loving family: daughter Linda Blackwell (Lee) of Fredericksburg, Texas, son Martin Harrison (Maureen) of Kelowna, eight grandchildren, 18 great grandchildren, one sister Rose Fowler of England and her brother-in-law George Sewell of England. Predeceased by her husband Joseph in June 1999. Maisie loved the outdoors, camping, sightseeing and loved living in the Okanagan Valley. There will be a private family service at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Interior Alzheimer Society, 211-1889 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 5V5. Special thanks to the Ethel Glen Wing at Cottonwoods. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.
While we assisted hundreds of families with their pre-arrangements prior to the July 1 deadline, many others were unable to complete their plans before the HST became effective. We’re happy to announce that Dignity™ Memorial funeral homes are extending the pre-HST savings – but only for a limited time. By planning ahead you will: s 2ELIEVE YOUR FAMILY OF THE EMOTIONAL and financial burden an unplanned funeral can cause s 0REVENT EMOTIONAL OVERSPENDING s ,OCK IN PRICES AT TODAY S RATES Full payment is not required to qualify for the savings.

STRONG, LOIS MARGARET
February 23, 1924 – July 22, 2010 Lois passed away peacefully, of congestive heart failure, on July 22 2010, at Central Okanagan Hospice House, Kelowna, BC. Born February 23, 1924 at home, Brooke Township, Lambton County, Ontario to her Scottish Presbyterian parents Belle and Clinton Armstrong. In the 1960s and early 70s Lois and her husband Robert H. (Bob) raised their family on Park Ave. in Guelph, Ontario. In 1976 they moved from Guelph to Burnaby, BC and then in 1982 to Kelowna. A three time breast cancer survivor, Lois was predeceased by her husband, Bob (Ontario Agricultural College Year ‘48), in 1989. She is survived by her children Marilyn (Scott Pembleton) of Kelowna, Michael and Kaori and their children Sarah and David of Oakville, Ontario and Judie Roberts (Tim) of Calgary.
