ew 12-year-olds contemplate how they’ll conduct themselves throughout their teen and adult years, let alone make any promises. In front of those gathered at Kelowna’s Aboriginal Day celebrations, however, a bashful looking boy named Wind Dance did just that when he made a commitment to respect his family, and join a drug and alcohol free community for all his years to come. “He’s been brought up to know our culture; he’s ready,” said his grandmother Rose Caldwell, after the ceremony where Wind Dance got his first set of powwow gear. At the same time friends and extended family committed to keep the young man on track, in case he veered off course. Beyond insight into local tradition, the chain of events was a compelling feast of sights and sounds for the hundreds who joined the national celebration of First Nation culture on the corner of Ellis Street and Leon Avenue.

Ways of the past are kept alive Pride from A1
CLOCKWISE from top left: A young native dancer, part of the grand entry for the National Aboriginal Day powwow on Tuesday staged by the Ke-Low-na Friendship Society; the Littlehawk drum group perform; the grandchild of Westbank First Nation band member Rose Caldwell; a teepee being raised at the corner of Ethel and Lawrence.
Throbbing drums, traditional First Nation song and a fragrant smoke overtook the space for nearly an hour as Wind Dance put on each of the carefully crafted pieces of traditional dance-wear. Then, as the last closure of the ornate, bead and feather costume was tied, Wind Dance led his friends, family and the community at large in a dance under the circular tent that had been erected earlier. “It’s important for people to see this,� said Caldwell, adding that the event had special significance to her because it was in the Westbank First Nation’s traditional territory. “We’re a diverse community in this day and age.� It’s also a stronger community, she said. One of the notable features of the event was that it wasn’t just the elderly raising their voices in traditional songs, or beating drums the way their forefathers did. Teenagers and children had a strong presence, as the community came together to celebrate.

SPECTATORS enjoy the sights and sounds of the National Aboriginal Day powwow in Kelowna on Tuesday (above). Owen Johnson had his face painted at the celebration (right). SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS.
▼ NATIVE PRIDE
Spirit of aboriginal culture is being re-awakened Pride from A3 Caldwell said that they’re only going to be more present as time goes on. “Our culture is getting stronger,” she said. “There’s a reawakening of pride in our people.” When Prime Minister Stephen Harper recognized the damage done through residential schools, she believes a new chapter was started. “There were a lot of people in pain, and that needed to be acknowledged. Now we’re able to get beyond those days, to this,” she said, gesturing to the crowd. Among their ranks was another who holds similar hope and pride for the gaining stature of his people. Glen Michell is a youth co-ordinator in Enderby, who dances regularly at powwows to celebrate his culture. “I started 19 years ago because my grandmother asked me to,” he said. “She was getting to the age where she couldn’t do it anymore, so she asked me to dance for my people who can’t dance for themselves—elders, babies my grandmother.”
In the years since he started dancing, however, he’s also worked to guide atrisk youth to make safer decisions. And the number of those who want to follow that path is growing. It could help that events like Tuesdays are growing in popularity. “They give us a chance to come together like our people used to, so we can eat, talk and share,” he said. They also bridge gaps to other communities. “It’s nice to share our music and song with people of other races. It can be hard for people to talk about it, but if they’re curious they can do it here.” June 21 was the start of the 11 days of Celebrate Canada! which includes National Aboriginal Day (June 21), Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day (June 24), Canadian Multiculturalism Day (June 27) and concludes with Canada Day (July 1). On June 13, 1996, the Governor General of Canada proclaimed June 21 to be National Aboriginal Day, offering Aboriginal peoples an excellent opportunity to share their rich, diverse cultures with family members, neighbours, friends and visitors.

Storm brings Okanagan Lake level up yet again Thursday morningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wild storm that swept through the Central Okanagan caused a spike in the level of Okanagan Lake that drove it up to five inches above optimal operating level, or whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called full pool.

fire chief Jason Brolund said heavy rainfall from that overnight storm added to the lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alreadyhigh level while the winds that accompanied it stirred things up as well. Wave action on structures and shorelines already suffering from high water levels are additionally impacted, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s caused by wind or by boats passing by too close to shore. In downtown Kelowna, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fine balance, with many buildings virtually right at lake level, even inland a block or two from the lakeshore. Large pumps brought in to pump out the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s storm sewers have successfully sucked water out of the lower reaches of the Kelowna Community Theatre and the Water Street Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Centre,
noted Brolund. Many homes along Lakeshore Road in Kelowna, Casa Loma and Green Bay in West Kelowna and in the North Westside along Westside Road have used sandbags to keep lake water from causing damage to structures. Sump pumps will be going full bore in many lakefront homes, he speculated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The good news is that the rate of rise of the lake is slowing, so we hope it will peak fairly soon. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m optimistic weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re rounding the corner,â&#x20AC;? said Brolund. There are still 18,500 sandbags available at the main firehall for those in emergency situations, he noted, but most people have already collected them if they needed to hold back floodwaters.
SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS
THE RISING level of Okanagan Lake is evident at the point of Maude Roxby Bird Sanctuary off Abbott Street in Kelowna. Although Mission and other creeks have dropped somewhat, water is still roaring down from the upper watershed where
high elevation snow is still melting, and collecting runoff from storms such as Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. That means itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still
dangerous to get close to the banks of streams where erosion has caused unstable ground because it could be fatal to be swept
away in the current, particularly for youngsters and pets. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com
â&#x2013;ź EDUCATION
Discretionary hiring to recruit, retain aboriginal teachers Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
The Central Okanagan board of trustees agreed to do some discretionary hiring this week to specifically recruit and retain aboriginal teachers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of our graduation rates,â&#x20AC;? said board of education chairman Rolli Cacchioni. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve raised it to 85 per cent now, but the rate for our aboriginal students
is still down around 60 per cent.â&#x20AC;? Evidence given to the trustees to date indicates having a breadth of role models in schools is critical to studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; success. The school district has already set aside their normal hiring practices to hire aboriginal teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; assistants, Cacchioni said. Many more students self-identified as aboriginal in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enrolment figuresâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;some 600 more
than last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but only 10 teachers, one schoolbased administrator and one senior staff member have claimed aboriginal ancestry. There are now 2,100 students in the system self-identifying as aboriginal. Test scores from Ministry of Education mandated courses show that the aboriginal students not only have a much lower graduation rate, but also
correspondingly lower grades while in school. The number of aboriginal students to pass Applications of Math 10 with a C- or better, for example, was 86 per cent compared with 96 per cent for their non-aboriginal counterparts. And the discrepancy really starts to show when one looks at aboriginal students receiving good grades. While 94 per cent
of those who self-identify may be passing English 10, compared with 98 per cent among the mainstream population, only 54 per cent are receiving grades in the C+ or higher ranger, compared with 72 per cent. In Communications 12, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a similar story. Only 39 per cent received a grade of C+ or higher, compared with 62 per cent of non-aboriginal students and only 25 per cent

of those identifying as aboriginal in Applications of Math 10 hit that good grade threshold, compared with 48 per cent of non-aboriginal students.

referendum. But the recently elected Opposition leader is taking no chances, so he has embarked on a 14-community tour to drum up support for the “Yes” side in the vote. Mail-in ballots, which must be returned by July 22, are expected to start arriving in letter boxes across B.C. next week when federal back-towork legislation is passed ending the current postal strike. “We are getting a very positive response,” said Dix, who blasted Premier Christy Clark and her Liberal government for repeatedly saying one thing but doing another when it comes to the HST. “This really is the people’s referendum.” He listed off a litany of what he called “reversals” on the HST both by the Liberals under former premier Gordon Campbell and his successor Clark—during her campaign for the Liberal leadership and after she was elected leader and became B.C. premier. Included in the list was the Liberals’ introduction of the HST after saying it had no plans to bring it in, the number of jobs it will create, that the HST would be revenue neutral, Clark’s vow not to “buy

NDP LEADER Adrian Dix talks to the media at The
Sails on Thursday afternoon about the HST referendum. British Columbians with their own money” by offering a rate reduction prior to the vote, and saying a rate reduction would hurt the province’s health care budget only to then announce plans for a two per cent decrease over three years if the HST is kept. “I don’t think people believe (the Liberals) anymore,” said Dix. The Liberals have vowed to reduce the HST rate in two stages to 10 per cent by 2014, if the public votes to keep the tax and if the party is re-elected to
govern in the next provincial election. That election was, by law, supposed to take place in May 2013 but Clark appears ready to go to the polls earlier. Dix also pointed to that as another reason why voters should not believe the Liberals. It was Campbell’s Liberal government that brought in fixed election dates in B.C. On the issue of a possible election, while he is critical of the Liberals for wanting one before 2013, Dix vowed his party will
be ready. He said he has been talking to potential candidates up and down the valley. And he declared the NDP will win seats in the Okanagan in the next election, despite its failure to do so in recent provincial votes. Currently all the Okanagan seats in the B.C. Legislature are held by Liberal MLAs. Dix took a direct shot at two of them, local MLAs Steve Thomson (Kelowna-Mission) and Norm Letnick (Kelowna-Lake Country). “What have (the Liberals) done since Mr. Thomson and Mr. Letnick have been elected here? It’s been all HST all the time.” Thomson is currently B.C’s forests, lands and natural resource opertions minister while Letnick was recently named to head the legislature’s standing committee on health. Dix called on Thomson and Letnick to say what cuts they would make to Kelowna General Hospital if Clark is right and reducing the HST by two per cent will adversely impact the province’s health care budget. “The people in the Okanagan are not well represented by one party rule here,” said the NDP leader.
Dix applauds Campbell appointment They could not be more politically different, but NDP leader Adrian Dix is praising the apparent selection of former B.C. Liberal premier Gordon Campbell as the next Canadian high commissioner to Britain. “I wish him well,” said Dix.
“It’s no secret I totally disagree with him about B.C. politics but I think he will work very hard (representing the country).” On Thursday, the Canadian Press reported that Prime Minister Stephen Harper is expected to tap Campbell, who served as B.C. pre-
mier for nine years, to be the next top Canadian diplomat in London. The post is considered one of the highest in the Canadian diplomatic corp. Last year, Harper selected former Manitoba NDP premier Gary Doer to be the Canadian ambassador to the United States.

NEWS ▼ SKILLS ASSESSMENT TEST
Mixed results for local students Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Results from the Foundation Skills Assessment tests conducted in February show the Central Okanagan School District is above the provincial average at the Grade 4 level and below at the Grade 7 level. The controversial standardized tests are only conducted in Grades 4 and 7 and then used as a benchmark by the province for measuring student achievement. This year, Education Minister George Abbott said more students have written the test than last year and the results show an improvement over the 2009-10 school year. “FSA results not only help us identify areas that need improvement, they also allow us to see what’s working so we can share
best practices,” said Abbott in a statement released on Thursday. “Districts like Fort Nelson and Cariboo-Chicotin, for instance, have implemented specific programs that have led to marked improvement in FSA scores over the past few years.” The B.C. Federation of Teachers has consistently opposed the tests saying they do little to measure real learning and place undue constraints on teachers to meet testing targets rather than improve learning outcomes. But superintendent Hugh Gloster said the school district itself takes the testing seriously and views the results as important information which can be combined with other forms of testing to measure a student’s overall achievement. Gloster explained the Grade 4
students saw a much higher participation rate this year than the Grade 7 students—which he believes is skewing the results. “At the Grade 7 level we had close to 20 per cent not sit sitting the assessment,” he said. “So of course that’s going to have an affect.” At the Grade 4 level, roughly 90 per cent of students participated. The FSA is infamously used by the Fraser Institute to create its annual school report card, which stacks all public and private schools up against one another, creating a listing of school achievement for the province. The results are broken down into reading, writing and numeracy and further by male, female, aboriginal, English as a Second Language and special needs. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com
School teacher’s memory honoured Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
The memory of Shannon Lake Elementary school teacher Elaine
Wannop will be honoured with a bench. The long-time Okanagan school teacher passed away mid-way through the school year
leaving behind two children, three grandchildren, and a school full of students. To pay tribute to her, the West Kelowna elemen-
tary school is installing a bench with a plaque created by a local artist. Students will be able to sit on the bench to read some of her favourite stories.

Another step in Cedar park battle To the editor: Monday’s council decision regarding the Cedar Avenue waterfront lands as to whether they become park or a mixture of park and building left us pleased but unsatisfied. A number of people appeared happy because council deferred any decision for an unknown period of time, but we expected council to be stronger and show more leadership and take it one step further. The exception was councillor Charlie Hodge who tried to encourage council to strive for more. And so the OCP remains with all 11 properties designated with a large C9 (commercial) component. There was unanimous council support for staff’s second option to only put C9 on the north properties and designate the south properties as all park. However, council rejected that option because the north portion still had C9 and they felt that there would

Rutland becoming most interesting part of town
K
ey members of Rutland’s business community are getting their backs up over news one of the local bars is allowing women to show their backsides— not to mention their front sides, and likely other gynaecological views. The inclusion of strippers, however, doesn’t really seem like a sudden about-face. North of 40—a bar situated at the heart of the business sector—was rarely lauded for being a paragon of high falootin’ behaviours. It was a good ol’ country watering hole, with a good ol’ country clientele who behaved like good ol’ backcountry fare from time to time. Its reputation is so well known, so it’s unlikely most aren’t raising an eyebrow when they hear the opinion that
KATHARTIC the siss-boom-bah in-
fusion will denigrate the area any further. Just try not to give way to skepticism in front of those who have been trying to craft a new imKathy age of one of the oldest Michaels parts of the city. They want you to know, despite anything you’ve heard to the contrary, there’s nothing downmarket about Rutland: It. Is. Uptown. Those beating that drum hardest, unfortunately, seem to believe they’d prove it to everyone who can’t see past Hein Road with more investment in steel and glass buildings, bland public art and generally homogenous offerings. That, by my estimate, is the real shame coming to light today.
Rutland is growing and it has a quality and character that’s compelling and can’t be diminished by anyone shaking their moneymakers. More than a few eateries offer fantastic ethnic nosh in the oft’ maligned end of Kelowna. In the city Statistics Canada has acknowledged as the whitest nationwide, Rutland offers warm, welcoming colour. Gorgeous graffiti art the municipality may have already washed away was once found there in ample supply. This devout downtown dweller would go so far to say that Rutland could shape up to be one of the more interesting parts of the city. The risk is whether that character will grow, get flattened or go sideways by misguided ambition. Numerous communities is the world have turned out to be the shining lights of their cities, using ill-repute as
part of their cachet. New York, Auckland, Vancouver, or closer to home, Penticton, offer a few examples. Penticton’s Front Street used to be the dirty secret of a generally quaint city. “Dive hotels” and autobody shops were some of its original tenants and then came the now famous Slack Alice’s strip club. It didn’t seem as though there was any end to the greaseball factor until someone took it upon themselves to work with what they had, instead of starting from scratch. The hotel and autobody shop faded into memory, but today Slack Alice’s is couched between the most chic eateries, posh shops and there’s no end to the cavalcade of families strolling by. Basically, it’s got just the right amount of siss-boom-bah. Keep that in mind, Rutlanders.

LETTERS ▼ STATISTICS
Fed government is wasting our money To the editor: Statistics Canada recently mailed out a census survey for all of us to complete and, by law, it’s mandatory to be returned every five years. Then, on May 30, 2011 a 2011 National Household Survey was
mailed to 33 per cent of our population in English and French, to be completed and returned voluntarily. I was recently informed that we will receive reminder notices for the voluntary completion of the survey. Some of the 55 ques-
tions are an invasion of our privacy and one would be reluctant in providing an answer. We are in economical restraint and attempting a recovery, although the government continues to keep on spending as follows.
Number of forms mailed : • 12 to 13 million Number of employees hired: • Enumerators—29,000 • Crew members‚ 2,000 to 3,000 • Central control station— 2,000
• Salaries—$20 plus per hour for three months. What a ridiculous additional waste of our monies, paper and trees. This must be part and parcel of job creation? P. Anutooshkin, Kelowna
▼ HST
Gov’t should show faith: Drop HST to 10% now To the editor: It’s just around the corner—our chance to finally have our say on the imposed HST. Hey, how about this? Change the HST to 10 per cent effective immediately and stop all the B.S.
Kind of works for me, and besides, we really should get a better handle on the tricks our elected officials have been up to. I’m still wondering why I didn’t get to vote on having the death penalty or having the young offend-
ers act or giving millions to who knows who while we have so much wrong here at home—we need to be taking care of our own. Oh my, yet another topic for another day. I closing, I think these well-minded people get
into politics to work for the people of the province and actually respect and listen to the people they represent. What happens is that the trough is only so big and you have to back off spending our hard earned dollars like
the supply is endless. Be assured, the day of recking is nearer than you think. Bob McRae, West Kelowna
Cultivatable land in Summerland not being farmed waiting out the present recession and then making application after application to remove said lands from the ALR. I would like to see ALR properties that are not being farmed taxed the same as residential prop-
erties. Any vacant land can easily be leased out for farming purposes, and even if the lease doesn’t pay that much, at least the land owner wouldn’t be paying residential taxes. The excuse used— that we need more in-
dustrial land in Summerland—is a farce. Penticton has a significant amount of land available for industrial purposes that is not presently being used. Why? Because the economic situation at present doesn’t demand it.

▼ PRESERVING BEACHFRONT
Still time to hear ways to make Cedar park happen Cedar from A10 be continued public concern with that. Had staff presented council with a fifth option that offered changing the OCP to park for both north and south properties, we wonder how council would have debated it? It’s been obvious for some time that lakefront park is what the community wants, so why not give them a chance to vote on it? Council reminded us at the close of the meeting to not take our frustrations out on staff because they are only following direction from council. Council meets with staff regularly at in-camera meetings where they get to speak to one another without the public. This is where a lot of pie-in-thesky ideas and strategy is debated (rightly so). The most obvious option (for all park) could have been added then.
We are now being told that sometime in 2012 the city will organize a group of citizens to determine what is wanted. I have reviewed nearly everything said in the media and at public hearings and gatherings, and the lakefront park option is clearly what they want. It reminds me of that saying: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” To remedy the optics of this dog and pony show, we think council should quickly reconsider making a motion to change the OCP to all park. This does not mean it can’t be altered to some compromise or mix once the planners have met with the community. But having the OCP changed now is significant because it changes the focus of this fluid document to better reflect what coun-
cil heard from the community. The city might argue that changing the OCP would require substantial research, but if so, why did it only take them a few days to change the south properties from C9 to P3? I wish we could be more positive and patient but I moved to Kelowna and the South Pandosy area in 1995 and there was talk of the park back then. The first property was acquired in the late ’80s and the last property was purchased 14 years ago. To be honest, I don’t think there is any real intention of making the waterfront anything but a public walkway with a hotel and mix of condos and a restaurant. Without leadership from council and a fall election looming we think the latest deferral is perfectly convenient for the
city. However, if the OCP for the waterfront land is changed to P3 now, myself and hundreds or probably thousands of others will be 100 per cent behind council and staff and their plans to make the area vibrant. We can hash out the details and finances next year. Finally, I want to personally thank the many
hundreds of people who truly stepped up to the plate to stop a big booboo. It was a very wide and concerted effort for such a small piece of our city. You should be very proud of yourselves. We won the battle and now I just hope we don’t lose the war. Michael Neill, Kelowna

ith a rolling rumble that resembled the sounds of the Knox Mountain Hill Climb, Mother Nature ensured I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sleep in this morning. In fact, between the light show and the sound effects, sleep was the last thing on my mind. And, then came the rain, crashing down on the strip of tin at the top of our roof, and plopping loudly on the deck outside my bedroom door, while the wind rattled cones out of the big evergreens onto the deck floor along with loose needles and the occasional dead limb. It was a wild night, and it began just after I got to sleep, when someone other than Moth-

The first pops and booms woke me immediately from that sound sleep, and through bleary eyes I realized flowers of brilliant colours were blossoming in the night sky in front of me. I sat bolt upright in my bed and the fireworks continued, so I was pretty sure I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just dreaming. Dreams of returning
to dreamland were dashed by the flashes in front of my closed eyelids and the continued whizz bangs, pops and booms. I gave up, sat up and watched as the glorious shapes and colours burst in front of me. Obviously someone was celebrating something, but I was by now awake enough to be quite certain it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Canada Day yet. A neighbour and I had agreed to meet at 5:30 a.m. for an hour-long hike before we headed in to our cubicles for the day, to sit in front of our mesmerizing screens, but we had second thoughts as a deluge of rain was released from the sky at 5:29 a.m. It stopped five minutes later, so we headed

My name is Erin. I am a university student at UBCO and I am without a doubt a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Type Aâ&#x20AC;? personality. I have been called an â&#x20AC;&#x153;overachieverâ&#x20AC;? and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;perfectionistâ&#x20AC;? and I love it when things are organized and I feel on top of my workload. However, I have found that having this type of personality causes me to be anxious, nervous, and irritable. I often have problems turning my mind off at night and falling asleep. Now that I am in my final years of university, I have found these symptoms are only getting worse as the stress in my life increases. My friend recommended that I try Passion Flower as a natural remedy to help me cope better with these symptoms. Like that of many other herbs, Passion Flowerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effectiveness on anxiety and nervousness relies on the synergy of its components within the whole plant. Passion Flower is well known for its natural sedative and anti-anxiety properties. The most well known and studied constituents in Passion Flower are vitexin, chrysin, orientin, and isovitexin, all of which are believed to contribute to Passion Flower's antianxiety effects. The flavonoid apigenine links with GABA receptors in the brain, which is believed to be responsible for the tranquilizing effect. There is even supporting evidence that it aids in weight loss! This is partly due to stress reduction and better sleep along with prevention of emotional eating.

We got drenched by another storm before we were finished, although the air was soft and warmish and fresh from the showers. But, if I seem a little cranky today, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll understand why: I need my sleep. So, if Mother Nature could get a handle on things again, it would be comforting. I mean, for years Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been writing about the importance of dogowners keeping control of their pets so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t chase deer, and now I find myself writing about deer that are chasing down dogs and even attacking their humans for shielding the dogs.

He started his newspaper career at the Parksville Qualicum News as a sales rep when I was the editor, then migrated to the Peninsula News as publisher, and later transferred to Ladysmith Chronicle as publisher. He was then promoted to national sales on Vancouver Island. Ron loved to golf, but more than anything he loved his family. Opie was well known to hockey fans and many Okanagan Valley residents.

Lake shrimp harvesters moving south Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
It’s odd to see a commercial shrimp trawler on Okanagan Lake. But, as part of an experiment to investigate the possible shift in populations of the introduced mysis diluviana or opossum shrimp, fishery vessels and processing barges have moved from their usual spot outside Vernon to the Squally Point area near Peachland. Senior fisheries biol-
ogist Tara White with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, says the commercial shrimp fishery is part of an experimental freshwater shrimp fishery created in 2000 to help reduce the population of mysis in Okanagan Lake. They were introduced to the lake in the 1970s as feed for kokanee, to help improve the game fishery. However, it turned out they had the opposite affect, competing with young kokanee for feed,
so the commercial shrimp fishery was established to help reduce their numbers and improve conditions for plunging populations of kokanee. White said they believe the shrimp population may be shifting to more southerly parts of the lake from the north, so they will be conducting experimental hauls to collect data in the coming weeks. Two companies harvest the shrimp for use in pet food, nutraceuticals
and cosmetics. The annual harvest of freshwater shrimp takes place between May and October and has averaged 40 metric tonnes a year between 2000 and 2010, she said. The importance of the game fishery on Okanag-
an Lake is significant. Freshwater anglers spend $480 million every year on fishing equipment, travel and accommodations and hospitality services, supporting 7,500 jobs. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Grower levy to be extended Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
The apple industry’s New Variety Development Council has a renewed five-year mandate to continue collecting a levy from growers of the Ambrosia apple for research and promotion in order to keep returns up. Bruce Currie of Kelowna is chairman of the council. He says it’s the best paying apple variety that B.C. growers produced this year, and he believes it’s also one of the best in terms of flavour, appearance and keeping qualities. It’s also a variety that was discovered in B.C. and is produced here, he noted. The 400 or so growers of that variety of apple voted this spring to extend the mandate of the council, and this week the province approved continued imposition of the levy on growers. It’s the third renewal of five-year terms for the NVDC, which was formed in 2001. Growers pay a dollar per packed 40-pound box of apples towards promo-
tion of the variety and research into the best techniques for producing, harvesting, packing and storing it. This year, a top local grower was hired by the council to work with growers on pruning and thinning techniques which produce the best quality Ambrosias, so that prices paid for the variety remain high, said Currie. “Now we’re working to introduce the variety to consumers,” Currie added. In fact, he said it stores so well that Ambrosias picked last fall are still available at the Clement Avenue storefront for the Okanagan Tree Fruit Cooperative as well as at local produce counters. More than 400,000 40-pound cartons of Ambrosias are now produced on 800 acres in the valley. It’s also grown elsewhere under licence to the Okanagan Plant Improvement Company, owned by the B.C. Fruit Growers Association of B.C. However, Ambrosia apples grown in the U.S. may not be sold in Canada and propagation is also prohibited.

NEWS ▼ MLA’S REPORT
The pro-business argument behind supporting the HST H Ben Stewart like Elaine and Duane Ophus, who own and operate the UPS store in Westbank Town Centre, with a staff of up to six. Elaine told me she likes the HST because of the “reduction in red tape.” What does that mean? She only has to make four tax claims in a year, as opposed to 16 under the old GST/PST system. Nobody likes filing tax returns. As a business owner myself, I can certainly sympathize. Reducing the amount of time (and returns) is time Elaine and Duane can spend more productively—actually running their business, or maybe even doing something for fun. I also heard from Maria Byland, who runs and
owns the Bylands Nursery in West Kelowna. “As a business owner and for administration purposes, there’s less paperwork—you have to file with one office instead of two,” said Maria. “It’s also less confusing for employees and consumers as to what is exempt; for employees it’s a simple push of a button, and I believe consumers have a better un-
derstanding on what is exempted.” It’s not just individuals, but professional organizations that have come forward to implore British Columbians to vote “no” to removing the HST. My colleague Norm Letnick mentioned last week the B.C. Fruit Growers Association and Tourism Industry Association of B.C.—industries with a large impact on
Kelowna and the Okanagan region’s economy— also support the HST. But they are far from alone. Peter Leitch, chair of the Motion Picture Production Association of B.C., has been quite vocal in his support of the HST, saying it will “help attract more shows and more jobs to B.C. because studios, no longer having to pay PST on business inputs, will consider B.C. a
more competitive destination for TV.” This has proven true. Earlier this week, you may have seen the news that Flicka 3, a major motion picture, will see its filming location switched from Manitoba to the Okanagan. The Okanagan Film Commission has said movies are turning to the Okanagan not just because of our spectacu-
lar scenery—which will make for a gorgeous film —but also because of the tax incentives. When you receive your ballot, I hope you keep people like Elaine Ophus, Maria Byland, and Peter Leitch in mind. Ben Stewart is the Liberal MLA for WestsideKelowna. www.benstewartmla.bc.ca

opefully by next week—pending a resolution of the Canada Post labour dispute—the majority of British Columbians will start to receive their HST referendum ballots. As you can probably imagine, I have been getting a lot of feedback about the HST. Through letters, phone calls and emails, constituents have been expressing their opinions. It’s no secret: I will be voting “no” to reinstating the 12 per cent GST/PST system. While we did a poor job of introducing the HST, I agree with the majority of economists that a value-added tax, like the HST, is a vastly more efficient system. That’s why dozens of jurisdictions around the world are moving to similar models. We also took steps to mitigate the impact the HST may have had, with one-time transition cheques for families and low-income seniors —and of course, reducing the HST to 10 per cent by 2014.

Cabella less stimulation and stress to the animals,” said McGee. “The animals are still listed as available for adoption on our website and at the branch but can maintain a routine and proper home environment while they wait.” To put this into perspective, let’s consider the situation for a dog named Cabella, a very sweet and friendly hound cross who has been stuck in the shelter environment for 216 days. Cabella was transferred to the Kelowna SPCA from another animal shelter after their efforts to find the dog a
home proved unsuccessful. Fortunately for Cabella, Kelowna is one of the busiest SPCA branches in B.C. for dog adoptions. However, the hope of finding a permanent home for Cabella has still proven to be elusive. The Kelowna SPCA faces this issue around this time every year, but this year the branch is hoping a stepped-up foster program can alleviate some of the pressure at the branch and allow these dogs to get familiar with a home setting. The branch has a number of foster families who regularly help but they need more. There will be an application to fill out and some information gathered to ensure an appropriate fit of the animal. Some questions may include other animals that currently reside in the home, children, ensuring the yard is fenced but each case will handled on an individual basis. Qualified foster fam-

The city wants to find ways to increase our urban forest The City of Kelowna will host its second Urban Forest Strategy Open House to review progress made on the development of the Urban Forest Strategy. The open house will be held at the Parkinson Recreation Centre on Tues-
day, June 28, from 4 to 7 p.m. “Trees greatly improve the quality of our lives, however, Kelowna’s urban forests are under threat from development, forest fire and forest health issues such as the pine beetle,” said Blair Stewart, the City of Kelow-
na’s urban forest health technician. The city is looking forward to receiving feedback on the proposed strategy and will have information available on the City’s NeighboursWoods program, and how to protect your trees from pine beetles and
wildfires. “While the focus of the afternoon is the proposed strategy,” said Stewart, “we also want to engage the community to take an active role in enhancing our urban forest. Ken Salvail, co-host of AM1150’s Garden Show, will help you identify

Supporting Farm Families BC Fruit Growers’ Association
Across our beautiful Okanagan Valley, tree fruit growers work each day to produce deliciously safe, nutritious and affordable fruits you and your family enjoy. However, the once sustainable Okanagan tree fruit industry has undergone several challenges due to: * * * *
subsidized and increasing production in Washington State, open market access from globalization, declining BC agricultural support, and high cost of restructuring the industry
Sustaining the farmland requires sustaining agriculture; but the resources devoted to support agriculture have consistently declined.
TOGETHER, let’s keep BC’s farmland green, beautiful, viable. Support the Okanagan tree fruit industry when you visit the grocery store – pick BC fruits first!

NEWS ▼ HEALTH
Keeping our antioxidants at peek germ fighting strength I t seems everybody today is selling something that will give you energy, lose fat, regrow your hair and change your marriage. It is very difficult to determine what is what and who is who in the world of health and proper supplementation. These well meaning people can leave you dizzy with their claims of miraculous recoveries and magical cures. So we often ask ourselves: Does it really work? Or more important: How do I know if it is working? Let’s back up and ask ourselves a different question: If I were to choose one goal in supplementation, what would it be? My answer would be a resounding increasing your body’s level of antioxidants. Antioxidants are those substances that promote whole body health by killing off all the bad guys. Wikipedia defines an antioxidant as, “A molecule capable of inhibiting the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation is a chemical reaction that transfers electrons from a substance to an oxidizing agent. Oxidation reactions
ASK DR.THIEL
Markus Thiel can produce free radicals. In turn, these radicals can start chain reactions. When the chain reaction occurs in a cell, it can cause damage or death.” Without antioxidants, we age faster, we get sick more frequently, and when we do get sick…we really get sick. Antioxidants are the guys in the white hats that kill the bad guys in the black hats, which are called free radicals. I think of free radicals as seagulls. They come swooping in, make a lot of noise, crap all over the place and leave. Then they move onto another place in the body to do the same. In addition, antioxidants also mobilize the dormant and inactive macrophages in your body. Macro-what? …Macrophage. These are the cells that circle around, engulf and kill the bad
guys in your body. Remember Pac Man? The macrophages are your body’s defense system. These macro-thinga-ma-jiggies don’t do anything until they are told to do something. They are waiting to be called to action, into war. The antioxidants turn the macrophages ‘on’ and mobilize them. We are all born with an innate ability to defend our bodies and keep our
bodies as healthy as possible. This is called our immune system. Our immune system is very complicated and convoluted. Just know that one of the most important parts of our inborn immune defense system is that of our antioxidants and our macrophages. Now we agree that antioxidants are the big cheese of our immune system. What do we do to
optimize it? Some powerful and natural sources of antioxidants include small red beans, wild cherries, red kidney and pinto beans, blueberries, cranberries, artichoke, blackberries, prunes, raspberries, red delicious and granny apples. One may find it necessary to supplement with antioxidants as well. I strongly recommend JuicePlus.
As you sit there, your body is doing at least 21 million chemical reactions, processes and all the while regulating or changing something—all without your knowledge. Give your body the best chance possible. I think the best way to fight illness is to stay healthy. Call me crazy, but it seems to be common sense to me. Think of it this way—is it easier to stay healthy or be in
a disease state and try to achieve health? Anything else is like being bankrupt and then planning your finances. Antioxidants are important in health and they are important in life. It not only improves your life, but it also improves the quality of your life. Markus Thiel is a practicing doctor of chiropractic in Kelowna. askdrthiel@shaw.ca

Golf all day at The Bear The annual Pihl Law Corporation Golf Marathon in support of BrainTrust Canada and brain injury education and prevention will be held Friday, Sept. 9, at The Bear golf course. This event offers the ‘ultimate’ day of golf—12 hours to play 100 holes from dawn until dusk, with $50,000 holein-one prizes courtesy of Capri Insurance, Harmony Honda and Avalon Event Rentals, and a special One Million Dollar Hole In One for the top three fundraisers, donated RBC Dominion Securities. There will also be valuable prizes for the top three fundraisers, including a helicopter trip courtesy of Valhalla Helicopters. The grand prize is a trip to Maui valued at almost $6,000, with a round trip flight for two from WestJet, four nights accommodations courtesy of Four Seasons Resort Maui and four rounds of the Wailea Golf Club. “Brain injury has been in the news lately as a result of the concussions in sport,” said Sean Pihl, with the Pihl Law Corporation. “And concussions are a brain injury. It is a serious issue. Most people are unaware that brain injury is the leading cause of death and disability under the age of 45—it can result from ‘traumatic’ causes such as a motor vehicle crash, assault, fall or sports, as well as from ‘non-traumatic’ causes such as stroke and drug/alcohol abuse. “One person in Canada sustains brain injury every three minutes—that is 480
people a day, which is more than a Boeing 747 carries every day. “Our firm handles personal injury cases relating to brain injury and we see the profound impact that brain injury has on everyone around them. The best cure is prevention. In fact, 90 per cent of brain injuries are preventable. “We are supportive of the community rehabilitation BrainTrust Canada provides to persons with brain injury in our community, as well as their efforts to raise awareness of the issue, and we are pleased to partner with them once again.” This golf tournament is the largest fundraising event for the Okanagan chapter of BrainTrust Canada, said Magda Kapp, director of communications for the organization. “While 100 holes of golf sounds a little crazy, it is actually the best day of golf ever. And, we have added new exciting prizes this year such as our grand prize trip to Maui, as well as our new Million Dollar Hole In One for the top three fundraisers. The Bear course is one of the most desirable courses in the city, and golfers will be treated throughout the day with fun and refreshments, including a barbecue lunch supplied by Karen Guy, of Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty, and M&M Meat Shops on Harvey Avenue. “A maximum of 50 golfers can participate in the event, so those interested should contact our office at 250-7623233 or visit braintrustcanada.com.”

Reduce maintenance by removing noxious weeds GARDENING WITH NATURE
O
Gwen Steele
ne of the biggest causes of escalating landscape rmaintenance tasks is the failure to remove weeds before they set seed or establish extensive root systtems. Last week, I discovered a vacant lot downrtown infested with blueweed. These noxious weeds fmoved in fast as the lot has only been empty for two years. Some are also growing in nearby gravelled parking lots. Blueweed (Echium vulgare) is about two feet high and of variable width. It has masses of small brilliant blue flowers followed by up to 2,000 burr-like seeds. They spread easily as they stick to clothes and animal fur. The plant looks nice, so is not recognized as a weed until it comes up everywhere the next year. I also observed many patches of blueweed along the roadsides in East Kelowna. It has the same invasive potential as knapweed so we all need to act now to eradicate it in our area. Do not put noxious weeds in your green waste bin. Put them into your garbage bin to be buried in the landfill. For more information and pictures of local invasive weeds search out these websites: www. agf.gov.bc.ca, www.invasiveplantcouncilbc.ca or www.invasiveplants. ab.ca. In the past, two species of large shade trees have been used extensively for their fast growth. Both are now considered invasive in many parts of North America. This month, Siberian elms (Ulmus pumila) ‘snowed’ their millions of white dime-sized discs of seeds all over the valley. The trees can be seen in the small park to the west of the road into Knox Mountain Park. In July, trees of heav-

en (Ailanthus altissima) will be topped with a froth of orange/yellow flowers. From late summer to spring they each shed millions of seeds. The trees look a bit like sumac or walnut but are easily identified by rubbing leaves or bark— both stink, hence the common name, stink tree. Very bad infestations of tree of heaven can be found on the west face of Knox Mountain in Poplar Point and along the hike to Paul’s Tomb, and throughout Okanagan Centre. Seeds of both these species are blown everywhere. Because they are tough and need little water they grow almost anywhere. They are often found in cracks in sidewalks and growing against foundations where they are hard to remove. Both are invading the wild, out-competing native species. With their fast and massive root systems, these two species are a weeding nightmare. Unless they are noticed and removed when very small they are hard to dig out,
especially when they have hidden inside hedges or grown up through other plants. Search on Google images to identify their seedlings. Although not inva-
sive in the wild, in irrigated landscapes maple trees produce many seedlings. These are also difficult to remove when allowed to grow past seedling size. As with all decidu-
ous trees (ones that drop their leaves in fall), unless all roots are removed, they will continue to grow even when cut down.

Elmore obvious favourite to take 1500m national title for 3rd time Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
Kelowna long distance runner Malindi Elmore will be looking for a threepeat this weekend as she is set to defend her title as the fastest woman at 1,500 metres in Canada. Elmore will race in the 1,500 metre event Saturday at the Canadian Track and Field Championships in Calgary, looking for a return to the winner’s circle after winning the Canadian title in both 2009 and 2010. “My goal going into the weekend is to win the race,” said Elmore, before heading to Calgary. “I won in 2009 and 2010 so it would be nice to continue the streak. I am feeling very positive about the race and have had some strong races so far this year.” Heading into the Canadian championships Elmore is the woman to beat. Her time of 4:09.10 from

I AM FEELING VERY POSITIVE ABOUT THE RACE AND HAVE HAD SOME STRONG RACES SO FAR THIS YEAR. Malindi Elmore
the Payton Jordan invitational meet in Stanford in May is the fastest time for a Canadian woman this year, although there are a few runners nipping at Elmore’s heels. Canadian Sheila Reed won the NCAA title in the 1,500 while Kate Van Buskirk was third in the NCAA championship. The pair are expected to be Elmore’s chief rivals in the race after veteran runner Carmen Douma Hussar is not racing this year. “It’s a bit of a changing of the guards,” said Elmore of the up and coming youngsters vying against more veteran runners. “I am feeling very positive about the race
and have had some strong races so far this year.” Elmore has raced in four different 1,500 metre races so far this season as she looks for a time of 4:05.80, the standard she needs to meet to qualify for the World Championships in August. That would be four seconds faster than her best time so far this year. She finished second in the Stanford race followed by a jet-lagged, ninth place finish in Qatar a week later. In late May Elmore was seventh against a top field at the New York Grand Prix. In her other start Elmore was tripped part way through the race and finished well behind
the leaders. “Each race has been very unique and while I have not run my fast times yet, I have competed well and I am optimistic for the season ahead,” she said. Following the Canadian championships, Elmore will be looking to ramp up her times as the World Championships approaches. She will compete at the Harry Jerome meet in Vancouver on July 1 before running an 800 metre race in Victoria on July 3. Then she will fly to Europe with the hopes of meeting that world championship standard sometime before August. The World Track and Field Championships are in Daegu, South Korea at the end of August. You can watch Elmore run in the Canadian championships on CBC television this weekend. The network has coverage between 2 and 4 p.m. Saturday. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Rockets on pins, needles waiting to hear NHL entry draft Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
Three Kelowna Rockets will be leaning on friends and family this weekend as they hope to hear their names called at the annual NHL Entry Draft. Shane McColgan, Zach Franko and Jessey Astles were all listed by NHL Central Scouting as potential NHL draft picks this season. The trio will be watching closely this weekend as the first round of the draft takes place Friday night, followed by the rest of the draft on Saturday in Minnesota. McColgan, once touted as a potential first rounder, was ranked at 125
while Franko was 123 and Astles was ranked 160 in NHL Central Scouting’s final draft rankings. “I don’t really care what round or what team I get drafted by,” said McColgan. “Whatever team wants me the most will take me. It doesn’t matter if you get drafted in the first round or the seventh round, you still have to make the team. At the end of the day that’s the way I look at it.” Despite the fact his rankings have slipped, McCoglan says he is looking ahead to the NHL Entry Draft as a fun weekend. He admits to some nerves but say his friends and family are even more pumped up by the idea of

him getting selected by an NHL team. The California native expects about 40 or 50 people to be with him watching the draft as it unfolds. “It will be good just to be there with my friends and family who supported me my whole hockey career,” said McColgan. “It
will mean a lot for them to be there. Some of them are more excited than I am now. Right now I’m just trying to have fun with it. I’m excited. I’ve been looking forward to this day since I started playing hockey.” Across Canada, in his hometown of Winnipeg,

Zach Franko will also wait with family to hear if an NHL team calls his name. Franko was fifth in Rockets scoring in his rookie season last year after compiling 53 points in 72 games. He says it’s exciting just to be mentioned ahead of the NHL draft. “It’s definitely exciting to hear your name being up there at least in the rankings,” said Franko. “I think it’s just another step. I’m looking forward more to coming back to Kelowna and helping the Rockets win a championship than I am to the draft because I think team success is more important and leads to individual success.” Injured in the playoffs,
Franko has been cleared for full workouts as he prepares for a return to Kelowna for his second season. As for Astles, the hard nosed winger who scored the biggest goal of the Rockets season with an overtime winner in game five of the Rockets playoff series with Portland, is in Coquitlam getting ready for the big day. “It’s nerve-wracking because it’s the next level, it’s the big leagues and it’s every kid’s dream to play in the NHL,” said Astles. “I’m getting more nervous as the week goes by. I’m preparing for both (getting drafted or not) and even if I don’t get drafted I will just have to work my
hardest and do my best and hopefully I will get a tryout somewhere.” Whatever happens with the trio of Rockets at this weekend’s draft table, the three are all expected back in Rockets uniforms come the start of the Western Hockey League season in September, forming part of a solid group of returning players. “We have a great group of guys,” said McColgan. “We have good chemistry and we’re all friends and I think that’s pretty important. I’m looking forward to the season. I think we can do something pretty special.” kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

The Jack Brow is open to any athlete can attend even if you are not a member of a track club. In that case there is a $10 fee per event with registration closing today (June 24) for unattached athletes. “The track season just wrapped up at school district 23 schools and the results from the district track meet indicate there are a lot of great athletes out there that aren’t part of the Okanagan Athletics Club who should consider competing in the Jack Brow,” said Marnie Douglas of the Okanagan Athletics Club. Athletes registering through their club have until this Sunday to register.

WESTSIDE WARRIORS defenceman Michael King is one of the highest ranked junior A players heading into the NHL Entry Draft this weekend in Minnesota. He could become the third Warriors player drafted into the NHL.
▼ WESTSIDE WARRIORS
King awaits draft Westside Warriors defenseman Michael King is hoping to become the third Warriors player selected in the NHL Entry Draft. A 6-foot-5 defenceman from Prince George, King was ranked 126th overall in the final NHL Central Scouting Rankings and could be drafted this weekend at the annual NHL Entry Draft which takes place Friday night (first round) and Saturday in Minnesota. That projects King as a potential fifth round selection but the lanky blueliner says he is heading into the weekend with an open mind. “It always would be nice to get drafted, but at the same time if I don’t,
it’s not really that big of a deal,” King told the Prince George Free Press. “There’s always next year to prove yourself again or even if you don’t get drafted at all, and then you go into college as a free agent, that’s always good too. It just gives you some more options. You’re not restricted to one team.” King is already committed to NCAA school Colorado College beginning in the 2012-13 season, meaning he will be back in Westside this fall when the BCHL season gets going. If drafted he would join former Warriors Justin Schultz (43rd overall/2008) and Cam Reid (192nd overall/2009) as draft picks from Westside.

Jays split games with Studs Youth beach volleyball The Kelowna Jays proved something to themselves on the weekend against one of the top senior men’s baseball teams in the Pacific Northwest. The Jays split a pair of games with the Seattle Studs on Sunday, dropping a close 9-7 decision before coming back with a 7-5 win. The result came a day after Kelowna had dropped two games to another tough opponent in the Everett Merchants. “Our players were obviously not discouraged from dropping two games to Everett on Saturday as we met the Studs head on
and scored 14 runs against them,” said team manager Bill Bayne. After losing twice on Saturday and then dropping a 9-7 decision to Seattle Sunday morning, the Jays received a gutsy complete game effort from left-handed starter Tranton Lively in their final game of the weekend. Lively gave up five earned runs but got some nice offensive support from the Jays bats in a 7-5 win over Seattle. KP Hlatky and Cam Firth each belted a two run home run to give Kelowna a 7-1 lead. In the top of the seventh Seattle struck for four
runs before Lively was able to right his ship and get the final three outs to earn the complete game win. Earlier in the day the Jays nearly came from behind scoring three runs in the seventh before the Studs shut the door for the win. Jared Johnson led the offense with two doubles and three runs batted in. On Saturday Cory Wood tossed a complete game and scattered seven hits as the Jays dropped a narrow 3-2 decision to open a double-header with Everett. Jake Chapman lined out to second with two
runners on base for the final out of the game. Things didn’t go as well in the second game as Everett struck for three runs in the first and cruised to an 8-0 win. The Jays record now sits at 13-9 on the season with a busy week ahead. They play Thursday night in Kamloops, then are home to Vernon Friday night at Elks. Then Kelowna hosts Nanaimo on Saturday with a 2 p.m. game at Boucherie and a 7 p.m. game at Elks before heading to Coquitlam for two games starting at 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Investigating the paranormal in everyday life Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Canada lays claim to more lake monsters than any country in the world and our very own Ogopogo was once a lot more blood thirsty than most of us realize, according to a paranormal investigator who will be speaking Monday in Kelowna. Benjamin Radford, who has spent the last 10 years as an author and investigator researching everything from aliens to a bloodsucking Hispanic vampire, will be teaching those interested in how to get to the bottom of their favorite mysteries— Ogopogo, Sasquatch and even the Loch Ness Monster. “It’s not a matter of trying to disprove things,” said Radford, who once considered himself among the biggest fans of paranormal literature, gobbling up books on the Bermuda Triangle, auras, crystals and ghosts. Radford says he’s learned to go into every unexplained phenomenon investigation he encounters with an open, but skeptical mind. Ask him if he believes in ghosts, for example, and he’ll tell you it’s really not a question he likes to answer. “It’s about what you mean by believe. To my mind the question is: Is there evidence for ghosts?” he said. The answer: “I haven’t found it yet.” What he has found is a good deal of First Na-
tions and Native American folklore which goes a long way toward explaining many of the phenomenon that make up today’s tales from the crypt and slippery monsters. Ogopogo, for example, was
from the First Nations people who would make the crossing in hopes they could stave off the monster’s attack. Ogopogo has actually featured prominently in Radford’s work. In 2005, he did a special on
Canada’s other watery monsters. For example, Caddy in Cadboro Bay, Champ in Lake Champlain, Cressie of Crescent Lake, all have their unique tales. Radford addresses the monsters as culturally true, if not physically so, and tracks down what happened to create their stories. He says he initially got started seeking answers to paranormal phenomenon after realizing all the books he read as a teenager had one thing in common—lack of research. Figuring the written word, published in a book, could not be false, he set about trying to find evidence.
“Now that I’m 40, I recognize that that’s a bad tack to take,” he said, joking that he’s since figured out there’s a fair number of things written in books that aren’t particularly accurate. Nevertheless, he does keep to his word and try to keep an open mind, no matter how seemingly impossible the story or phenomenon may be. Everyone’s welcome to hear Radford speak at Okanagan College, room H115, on Monday, June 27, at 7 p.m. He will be leading seminars Tuesday on how to investigate the paranormal in the everyday experience. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Canada Post legislation vote is difficult Cherry Fair coming home T his week the federal government will introduce legislation with an intent to put an end to the current Canada Post impasse. This will likely also create my first opportunity to vote on an important issue about which I know my Okanagan-Coquihalla constituents hold differing views. I would like to say that I value Canada Post. I believe it is an important ser-
Dan Albas vice for all Canadians to depend upon.
However, I also recognize that a major service disruption would not only adversely impact many Canadians, it can also harm the long term viability of Canada Post as many citizens increasingly look for paperless alternatives in their day-to -day lives. I believe that as elected decision makers, we must take action to protect our Canadian institutions, one of which is Canada

As Canadians, we have many rights and entitlements afforded to us. But we must also be mindful not just of our own rights, but also of our responsibilities to our country and to our fellow Canadians. In this case, I have heard from people on both sides of the Canada Post labour debate. I have also heard concerns from many citizens about a Canada Post strike or lockout causing delays in financial assistance payments or holding up the mailing of important medical lab test results. Hearing these concerns and also believing in the importance of the long term viability of Canada Post, I do intend to vote in support of legislation that will put our national postal service back to work. *** Late last week I had

an opportunity to witness our Canada Action Plan in action at ribbon cutting events both in Okanagan Falls and with Penticton Indian Band Chief Johnathan Kruger. In Okanagan Falls, we helped open a new crosslaminated timber manufacturing plant. This is an exciting and innovative product that will create more jobs in Okanagan Falls and help revitalize our local forest industry. The initial demand for cross-laminated timber is already sufficient that plant expansion is now a topic of discussion. That is good news for job creation in Okanagan Falls and elsewhere. The second event was the opening of the Penticton Indian Band’s new Outma Sqilxw Cultural School. This is an amazing new school and one that I know the band elders, children and families can be immensely proud of and an important legacy for future generations. *** As the House of Commons is soon to adjourn, it is my goal this summer to visit every community and region within the riding of Okanagan-Coquihalla. If you would like to meet with me at your home, business, coffee shop or wherever else, please send me an email to help prepare a schedule of when I will be in your community. Email me at Dan.Albas@parl.gc.ca. Dan Albas is the Conservative MP for the Okanagan-Coquihalla riding.
The 16th annual Cherry Fair is set for Saturday, July 23, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at its familiar stomping grounds. It’s been two years since the Cherry Fair was held in its original home, the Laurel Packinghouse in Kelowna’s Cultural District. That was due to extensive renovations the city undertook on the building, which were completed last November. Presented by the B.C. Orchard Industry Museum, while the Cherry Fair is returning to familiar territory, there will also be a few changes this year. “We’re excited to take the Cherry Fair back this year and take advantage our beautiful new building,” said Jacqueline Salvino, marketing and special events coordinator for the Kelowna Museums. “In honour of our new home, the Cherry Fair will be bigger and better than ever before.” Admission to the Cherry Fair is $2 per person, or $5 per family. “We want this event to be accessible to everyone,” said Jasmine Marshall, project lead on the event. “We’re celebrating the
season of the cherry and we’re inviting the whole community to come down and take part.” As always, taking centre stage will be cherries. Taste varieties grown and supplied by orchards up and down the Okanagan Valley. Cherry suppliers will include Westbank Harvest, located in West Kelowna, PICO (Okanagan Plant Improvement Corporation) at the research station in Summerland, and more—but only time and the weather will tell for sure. The Okanagan Tree Fruit Cooperative, which operates packinghouses across the Okanagan, will also have cherries of many varieties for fair goers to take home. Other activities will include professional facepainting by CupCasions and Face to Face Facepainting, hands-on educational activities for children, a live beehive demonstration with Vic MacDonald of Bees Inc., and the Ogopogo Bouncy House (free of charge). For more information call Jasmine Marshall at 778-478-0347 or email Orchard@KelownaMuseums.ca.

What’s not to like about Portugal? Marjie Lambert CONTRIBUTOR
PORTO, Portugal— On an overcast day in November, we drove east from Porto along the Douro River. The grape harvest was over. The men hired for the crush had gone home; the raw tawny and ruby ports had been poured into barrels or steel casks to age. The boats that make day trips up the river and the excursion trains that bring visitors to the wineries had ended their seasons, so my travel agent had arranged for me to have a car and driver for the day. Our route was through the heart of Portugal’s Douro Valley where wineries—some more than three centuries old—make “Vinho do Porto,” sweet and smooth and underappreciated in the United States. The grapevines follow the contours of the steep canyons, and the hillsides were swathed in terraced lines of gold and rust-coloured grapevines, just on the downside of peak fall colour. Below, the river reflected the sky, moody with clouds. Fernando, who proudly said he had been chauffeuring tourists for more than 20 years, pointed out a medieval bridge, train tracks that parallel the river, a remnant of an old stone wall around a vineyard, chestnut trees with bright yellow leaves and nuts that had fallen to the ground. “This is the time of the chestnut trees,” he said. Chestnut season.
Something clicked. Those portable ovens I’d seen on the hilly cobblestone streets of Porto, expelling plumes of white smoke, paper cones filled with objects I hadn’t recognized. Before this trip, the closest I had come to a roasted chestnut was a Christmas song. Some people might say that by traveling in the off-season, I had missed out on Portugal at its best. I disagree. The weather was mild, hotel prices had dropped after the harvest and hillsides were ablaze with colour. I had one-onone tours of wineries and no wait for a table at popular restaurants. The sole visitor in a tasting room the previous morning, I’d scored a few sips of a Dow port that Wine Spectator had ranked at a rare and perfect 100 points. I had started by 10-day visit to Portugal in Lisbon where I heard more about the lineage of Portuguese royalty than I’d ever wanted to know. I saw monuments to kings and navigators and climbed medieval alleys to St. George’s castle, which has spectacular views of the city and the Tagus River. I walked on black-andwhite mosaic sidewalks where the patterns of basalt and limestone tiles rippled with age. In the port town of Belem where many explorers launched their voyages in the 15th and 16th centuries, I saw the tomb of Vasco da Gama in the Monasteiro dos Jeronimos. The monastery, with its elaborately detailed late-Gothic and marine architecture, is classified by UNESCO as

a World Heritage Site. At the Belem National Palace, I saw the Changing of the Guard, a far more casual ceremony than at Buckingham Palace, involving only five guards. I sampled Pasteis de Belem, a rich custard baked in a puff pastry cup, its secret recipe reputed to be as closely guarded as that of Coca-Cola. Huge slabs of dried salt cod—bacalhau, the staple of Portuguese cuisine—were stacked like remnants of lumber at outdoor markets. I sampled the reconstituted fish in several different dishes and also ate fried sardines, octopus, potato and kale soup, and a traditional Portuguese dish of clams and fried pork. I drank port as an aperitif and vinho verde, a crisp, slightly effervescent Portuguese white wine, with meals. And after Isabel, my Lisbon tour guide, pointed out several men waiting for a Ginjinha bar to open at 10 a.m., I tried a shot of the sweet liqueur, which is made from sour cherries and Portuguese brandy. I decided to stick with port as my after-dinner drink. The next day, I took a train to the hilltop town of Sintra, about 20 miles north of Lisbon, and walked through the fairytale Palacia da Pena, a highly colourful and intricately decorated palace, and the sprawling stone ruins of Castelo dos Mouros, a fortress built by the Moors in the eighth or ninth century A.D. with panoramic views of the See Portugal A40

TRAVEL countryside. Then I took the train from Lisbon about 200 miles north to Porto, Portugal’s second biggest city, where the Douro River empties into the Atlantic Ocean. I wandered its steep cobblestone streets, walked through more historic buildings and from my guide, Helena, learned about even more kings. One night I ate dinner at a cafe that featured live fado, the melancholy music that some call the Portuguese blues. While other patrons chattered through the singing, I watched a man in his 70s, wearing an old-fashioned but elegant doublebreasted gray suit, dance in place at the back of the room, unsmiling, aloof, focused on the music.

The old port houses— Ferreira, Sandeman, Graham, Warre, Cockburn, Barros, Dow and more— line the left bank of the Douro River in a town called Vila Nova de Gaia, just across the river from Porto. Years ago, flat-bottom boats with pointed ends like those of gondolas brought barrels of port down the river to Vila Nova de Gaia, where the fortified wine was aged and bottled. Now the river has been dammed. The wine is transported by tanker truck, and the boats are for tourists. Helena had set me up with a tour and tasting at Graham, which is owned by the same company that now owns Warre and Dow, and which, like the rest of the port industry, is rooted in Great Britain.

a few months earlier, and unexpectedly, I now had the opportunity to taste it. There was no spitting bucket, no slip of paper for making notes, no ceremony. As I sipped, the tasting host talked casually about how well port pairs with bleu cheese or dark chocolate. I rolled the Dow 2007 across my tongue, held it in my mouth. It tasted lovely. But all the samples I tasted were smooth, sweet

The guide lined up five glasses of port on the counter, hesitated, then reached under the counter for a bottle and poured a taste of the Dow 2007 Vintage Port into a sixth glass. For days people had been bragging about this wine, which Wine Spectator had given 100 points
and refined, and I have to admit that the difference between a 90-point port and a 100-point port was lost on me. The next morning, as Fernando drove through the Douro Valley, he, too, bragged about the Dow 2007. “I had some yesterday,” I said, “at Graham.” His eyes widened. “You are very lucky person,” he said We stopped at Quinta da Pacheca, a small win-

ery that has been in the Pimentel family for more than a century. Recently the family opened a small restaurant and refurbished an 18th century house and converted it to a 15-room hotel. The hotel was full during the harvest and Tania gave me a tour. “We hire 50 men for the first day of crushing,” Tania said as we stood by the big granite tubs that had held the grapes. “The men are wearing shorts. They line up shoulder to shoulder, their arms on each other’s shoulders. Only the leader speaks: ‘Right, left, 1-2-3-4,’ and they methodically step and crush for a couple hours. Then they turn on the music, they dance and drink and continue to crush the grapes.” The crush continues for days, she said, but with fewer men and without the music and dancing.

Q5 Hybrid heralds the electrification of Audi Jim Robinson CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
CONTRIBUTED
THE 2012 Q5 HYBRID SUV/CUV is the first example of the electrification of the Audi product line. Using an eight-speed transmission mated directly to a gasoline engine/electric motor generator, it gives four-cylinder fuel economy and V6/V8 power.
Meet the world’s first premium compact hybrid crossover, the 2012 Audi Q5 Hybrid quattro. Audi is one of the last companies in North America to offer a hybrid. Even Rolls-Royce has one. But, Audi being Audi, it is jumping in with all technological guns blazing. In fact, the Q5 Hybrid is seen as the harbinger of the electrification of the entire product line. Being late is actually an advantage as Audi is capitalizing on what appears to be the next evolution of the hybrid, involving the elimination of CVTs and torque converters that are being replaced by an electric motor/generator hooked up between the engine and a multi-speed automatic transmission. In this car, the automatic is an eight-speed. This new blend of technologies is lighter, simpler and definitely the coming trend. It is similar to the system used in the Infiniti M Hybrid (reviewed earlier
on these pages) and by Porsche. Like the Infiniti, it relies on an eight-speed automatic with sequential shift mode and paddles on the steering wheel. The beauty of it is that you can accelerate to over 100 km/h on combined engine/motor power and then lift off the gas and cruise on battery power alone. It is possible to go up to three kilometers at 60 km/h on the battery. During the press preview of the Q5 Hydrid in Mallorca, one of my colleagues reported driving electrically at 120 km/h. On paper, the engine seems
small at 2.0-litres but it features Audi’s turbocharging expertise, producing a full 211 hp. A gasoline engine was chosen over a turbo diesel because it is more appealing to North America and China, two very critical markets for Audi. Mated with a 40 kW (54 hp) electric motor, the combined output works out to 245 hp and 354 lb/ft of torque. Combined fuel consumption in European testing is 6.9L/ 100 km or 40 mpg and See Audi B2

tachometer replaced by a “Power Meter” on the left in addition to a centre MMI display that depicts power routing.

and along its sides. The result is a drag coefficient of 0.32, the lowest in the compact CUV/SUV segment. Because the lithiumion battery pack is located beneath the cargo floor in its own crash-proof pod, Audi was able to maintain the identical cargo volumes of 460-1,480 litres (16.24-52.27 cu ft), depending on whether the back seat is up or folded flat. Towing is unchanged at 2,400 kg on an eight per cent grade and 2,000 kg on a 12 per cent grade. Inside, the Q5 is, again, identical to the standard model with two small, but significant differences. First is the main instrument cluster. On the right, is the normal large speedometer with a secondary fuel gauge. On the left, the tachometer has been replaced by a “Power Meter” and secondary battery power level gauge. On start up, the needle swings to the nine o’clock position which is labelled “ready”. As the Q5 starts off under electric power, the needle moves through the “efficiency” or batteryonly zone until 12 ‘clock where the engine takes over until the 100 per cent power point is reached at two o’clock. After that there is the “boost” level that combines engine and motor for full power until the “max” is reached at the three o’clock setting. Under regenerative braking, the motor acts as a generator and this is shown with the needle returning to nine o’clock and dipping down to as low as eight o’clock, depending on aggressiveness of braking. Even if the driver just lifts off the accelerator, the decrease causes the motor to capture this recuperative energy and feed it to the battery. Meanwhile, between the two main gauges, a multi media information (MMI) display depicts where the power is coming from and going to. The other difference is in the three driving modes. With the gear selector in “D”, the Q5 Hybrid works to optimize the motor and engine for fuel economy. In the “S” position, the mapping changes towards performance and sporty driving where the paddles of the tiptronic transmission can be used. But, for even better fuel efficiency, at the botSee Audi B3

MOTORING Audi from B2 tom of the centre stack is a button marked “EV” that gives priority to electric tdrive at low speeds such as in an urban setting. Audi stressed over and over that the Q5 Hybrid was meant to drive and handle like the “normal” Q5, and it does, only more so. You can feel the power right off the bat. With 345 lb/ft of torque, it digs in more like a V8 than a 2.0-litre four. All that torque means it is quicker off the line than expected, with a 0-100 rkm/h time of 7.1 seconds. More importantly, the 80120 km/h passing time is 6.0 seconds, again up in V8 territory. Mallorca is an island made up of two mountains with a plain in the centre. Most roads are about the same width as a Canadian single car driveway. Ergo, most of my driving was on combined power. Trying to look down the road and then refocus to look at the MMI rwas difficult. But, by tilting the steering wheel up to a position that I was not kall that comfortable with, the payoff was being able to see the swing of the
Power Meter’s big white needle along the lower periphery of my vision, while looking straight ahead. That way I could judge when to let off the gas pedal and do what Audi calls “gliding” on electric power. Another plus of hybrids is regenerative braking. Besides harvesting the kinetic energy, it noticeably lessens braking distance. The Q5 has big, vented discs (345 mm front/ 330 mm rear) so stopping was sharp, which I appreciated on the 270 degree switchbacks in the mountains. Sadly for Canadians the Q5 Hybrid won’t be available here for another year as a 2012 model. We will be getting a “premium” version, meaning it will come with a suite of top trim features as standard. Pricing is not even close to being set, but figure on somewhere in the $52,000-$56,000 bracket. But when the Q5 Hybrid does arrive, you can be sure it will be bristling with all the engineering and technology that has made Audi arguably the leader in premium style and performance.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll admit it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a sucker for sports coupes. Since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not often that my wife and I have passengers in the back seat, a coupe usually works just fine for us. So when it came time to book a couple of Scion vehicles for test drives, I was excited to get a chance to drive the sporty 2011 tC. Being a 60-something, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not in Scionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youthful target demographic, but who cares. Old guys are allowed to have some fun too! And since I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too familiar with the car that is new to Canada, I was surprised to find that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a hatchback with coupelike styling. For those unfamiliar with Scion, the Toyota sub-brand has been around since 2003 south of the border, and just arrived in Canada last year. Prior to that, the only vehicles we would have seen were ones that had been imported from the U.S. and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve certainly seen quite a few over the years. The most familiar was probably the boxy Scion xB, similar in looks to the Honda Element and a model that has drawn quite a following in the youth segment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not my style, but it has created a buzz with the tuner crowd. The youth market is exactly where Scion has aimed its marketing efforts. The goal was to attract a new, younger audience to the normally staid Toyota brand, one that would be drawn to the quirky, edgy styling of the Scion models and then hopefully move up to perhaps a Camry or even a Lexus in later years. Instead of traditional advertising, a lot of the Scion marketing is done through social media sites and direct contact at special events that draw large youth audiences. For example, recently at the Sound of Music Festival in Burlington, Ont., Scion had a big presence in the downtown core with a display of several customized models. Because the vehicles come in just one trim level, accessorizing is a big part
j
of the Scion experience. If you want to see everything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available, visit www.scionnation.ca and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to build and price your personalized Scion vehicle. My test 2011 Scion tC came in an unusual Cement Gray metallic colour. The only option was a six-speed automatic transmission that added $1,050 to the $20,850 price tag. With other taxes and freight and PDI ($1,390) the total came to $23,425, quite a reasonable price for a sporty car like this. Power comes from a 2.5-litre 16-valve DOHC four-cylinder engine that produces 180 hp and 173 lb/ft of torque. This same engine is in the base Camry and RAV4 models, and replaces a 2.4-litre, 161hp unit from the previous tC. A six-speed manual transmission is standard with a six-speed automatic available as an option. You also get fourwheel disc brakes with ABS, brake assist and electronic brake force distribution. The car rides on Macpherson gas struts with a stabilizer bar up front, while the rear has a double wishbone setup with a stabilizer bar. With just the one trim level, the tC is a wellequipped car right from the get-go. Really, other than the accessories that you can choose from, the only option is the automatic transmission. The tC comes with snazzy 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels, air conditioning, power windows/ locks/mirrors, keyless entry, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, Bluetooth connectivity, panoramic glass roof with power moonroof, projector-style halogen headlamps with LED turn signals, cruise control and front and rear splashguards. Normally, I doubt that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be drawn to the brand, but the tC is the least funky of all Scion models that I can remember. I understand it has also been the best-selling model in the U.S., so go figure, maybe young drivers want some mainstream styling after all. Outside, the tC has a bit of an angular, squaredoff look except for a steep sloping roofline in the rear See Scion B5

MOTORING Scion from B4 hatchback. Inside, the cabin could be a bit brighter and less stark, with just a bit more chrome or brushed aluminum trim. Hard plastic abounds as it does in many cars in this price range. However, that aside, everything works well. The cloth bucket seats t are supportive and have enough fore and aft travel to allow fairly easy access to the back seat. There is seating for five, although for trips of any length, four would be more comfortable. The panoramic glass room and power moonroof allow lots of light into the cabin. The HVAC system is controlled by large, rotary knobs on the centre stack, just in front of the
shift lever, while the audio system sits just above the knobs within easy reach of the driver. The rear hatch lifts up to produce 417 litres (14.7 cu ft) of cargo room. If more space is needed, the 60/40 split rear seats fold flat. The ride is firm, but not harsh, except on the roughest of surfaces. Body lean is minimal on hard cornering and the electric power steering is quite responsive. The sixspeed manual also works smoothly. Younger buyers will likely have the audio system cranked up a few notches so they’re not likely to notice the cabin noise, which I found a bit intrusive. However, all in all, there’s lots of content here for a sporty car that starts at just over $20K.

Pathfinder rugged family hauler Neil Moore
Some SUVs, like the Toyota 4Runner, have bucked this trend and are embracing their truckiness. The Nissan Pathfinder is also one of them. For 25 years, this SUV has been Nissan’s answer to Toyota’s wellknown off-roader, and it often ends up on the shopping list for those considering this type of vehicle. And like the 4Runner, it has with each generation continued to improve both in content, power and performance. Style is a personal decision, and I’ll admit being partial to a truckier look in vehicles that claim off road prowess. I hope you never see a jelly-bean
CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
SUVs and crossovers have, for the most part, evolved into what buyers really want—which is an all-purpose, all-wheeldrive vehicle that provides plenty of room for passengers and cargo. And these days that includes loads of amenities, a commanding view of the road and the kind of forgiving ride you’d expect from a family sedan. All that, along with the ability to handle mud and a few potholes on the way to the cottage. In short, consumers want a less-wimpy alternative to the minivan.
shaped Jeep Wrangler. For 2011, the Pathfinder continues with its rugged, go-anywhere styling in its short front overhangs, bold, chrome grille and large trapezoidal headlamps that sweep into powerful wheel arches over big (optional) 18inch alloys and 265/60R18 tires. The Pathfinder’s classic truck proportions also include unique details like its distinctive C-pillar with high-mounted rear door handles. It took me a few tries to get used to reaching up to open the doors. But the Pathfinder’s ruggedness always has been more than skin deep. Beneath its sheet metal is
a fully boxed, all-steel ladder frame based on the full-sized Armada SUV. This provides a solid mounting for the suspension, which in this case, provides a surprisingly civilized ride. Up front is a longtravel, double wishbone suspension with coil-over shocks and large stabilizer bar. In back is an independent double-wishbone design with the coils located on the toe control link with stabilizer bar. The long wheelbase (2850 mm), which allows for a large passenger cabin with three standard rows of seating, also enables a smooth, stable ride. The result is an off-1-

THE 2011 PATHFINDER still looks the part of an off roader with beefy, truck-like styling, pronounced wheel arches and short front and rear overhangs. Despite its rugged exterior, this SUV still rides comfortably on city streets. road SUV that can handle city driving with aplomb. Choppy asphalt, speedbumps and other urban assaults are easily soaked up by a suspension that also seems reasonably firm in the corners. There’s minimal lean for such a tall vehicle. I did not have the opportunity to do any serious rock crawling, or anything that would really challenge the Pathfinder’s all-mode four-wheel drive system, which includes 2WD/AUTO/4H/4LO modes, electronically controlled transfer case and four-wheel limited-slip. It does come standard
with a skid plate under radiator, but lacks some of the advanced offroad features like Toyota’s Crawl Control, which help in traversing more severe terrain. Roof rails are standard on all Pathfinders (and should be on any vehicle of this kind), and the rear tailgate has a flipup window so that you don’t have to open the entire tailgate when carrying long objects. Running boards come with SV and LE trim levels, and are a good idea if, like most people who buy these vehicles, you spend more time carrying kids to
soccer than fording rivers and descending boulderstrewn slopes. With the Pathfinder starting at a hefty $37,948 for the S trim level, and climbing to $47,748 for LE trim, you would expect the equipment list to be long. The base vehicle comes standard with such features as 16-inch alloys, heated power mirrors, rear privacy glass, air conditioning, power windows and locks, eight-way driver (four-way passenger) manual seat adjustment, cruise control and sixSee Pathfinder B11
Summer safety tips: Sharing the road with motorcycles By Kate Wells, DriveWise BC
adjust your driving around motorcycles, you are also part of the problem. Motorcycles only represent 1.5 per cent of insured vehicles in B.C., but account for 10 per cent of fatalities...and that statistic is rising, especially among young riders.
Warmer weather and soaring gas prices both contribute to many vehicle owners deciding to hand in their car keys and purchase a motorcycle. Consequently, as summer approaches we see many more motorcycles on our roads in British Columbia. And while motorcycles provide an enjoyable and economical means of transportation, there can also be a risk. If you are a motorcyclist who is not riding when alert, or who is unable to spot potentially dangerous situations when out on the road, you could be in trouble. If you are a motorist who doesn’t know how to
Here are a few tips to remember when driving with motorcycles on our roads. 1. Keep extra distance behind a motorcycle – Motorcycles can brake much quicker than cars can and all drivers should give motorcycles extra room to maneuver. 2. Don’t assume just because a motorcyclist is riding in the left part of the lane that they are going to turn left. Riders often ride in the left part
of the lane to be more visible to other road users. 3. Allow side margins – Do not try to share lanes with a motorcyclist. They need the whole lane to ride safely. 4. Watch for clues – Sometimes it’s difficult to see a motorcycle’s turn signals. Watch the rider for any clues, such as a shoulder check or if he or she leans – it might mean the rider is planning to turn or change lanes. Remember that driving around motorcycles requires special attention as the injuries resulting from a crash can be so much more severe. Pay attention, avoid distractions and keep your speed down!

MOTORING Pathfinder from B8 speaker AM/FM/CD audio system. The SV trim level, priced at $42,348, includes all the above and adds 17-inch alloys, fog lights, running boards, dual-zone climate control, rearview monitor, upgraded audio system with in-dash CD changer and steering wheel controls, auxiliary input, heated front seats with eight-way power for the driver, adjustable pedals and multiinfo display with seveninch monitor. My tester was the fully-loaded LE model, which, despite the abundance of plastic and obviously simulated wood trim, brings the vehicle up to premium levels in terms of content. This includes leather seating; smart key system; memory for the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat, mirrors and pedals; four-way power adjust for the front passenger; heated steering wheel; power moonroof; 10-speaker Bose audio system with subwoofer; and Bluetooth hands-free phone. Also included are 18-inch machined-finish aluminum-alloy wheels. These nicely fill the big wheel arches and give the Pathfinder added presence. I was surprised, however, that Bluetooth was only standard in LE trim, and is a package upgrade in the SV. Many entrylevel carsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;at thousands of dollars lessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are now including this feature. My tester was further optioned with both the $2,000 DVD Package (includes seven-inch rear monitor, wireless headphones and remote) and the $2,800 Navigation Package (includes HDD navi, BOSE single CD audio system w/subwoofer and 9.3-gigabyte music box, CF card reader, voice recognition and more). No matter which model you choose, the Pathfinder is easy to configure for both passengers and cargo. To start, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find 467 litres of space behind the 50/50 third row. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough for a full load of groceries or weekend away. Drop these seats flat, and this space grows to 1,393 litres, once again with a flat cargo floor. You can max out the cargo hold by dropping the 40/20/40 second row. To do this, you first flip forward the seat cushions and then fold the backrests for a total of 2,243 litres. In the upright position, the second row will sit three adults across, but it would be a squeeze. Two can sit comfortably
with plenty of knee and head room To access the third row, pull a lever on the passenger-side secondrow seat to tumble it forward. Here, seating is tight and is best suited to kids, or for adults you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t particularly like. Although the LE
weighs in at nearly 2.5 tons, the 4.0-litre DOHC V6, rated at 266 hp and 288 lb/ft torque, was up to the task. Mated to a fivespeed automatic transmission, it delivered plenty of grunt, although I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t label performance as lively. It was, however, pretty good for a sport utility.
Fuel economy, however, is a bit thirsty. But then again, the same is true for most vehicles this size. Nissan posts ratings of 14.9/10.3 litres/100 km (city/hwy), which is possible, I suppose, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very light on the throttle. My â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;real-worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; combined average was closer
to 14L/100 km. If you are concerned with fuel economy, there are hybrid SUVs and crossovers, but I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet seen one Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d take off the grid. Does the Pathfinder belong in your garage? Depends on your needs. If your primary con-
cern is off roading, then it has stiff competition. If you require a capable family hauler, the Pathfinderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth a look.

Richard Gooch passed away peacefully at Kelowna General Hospital on June 20, 2011 at the age of 78. Richard will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 50+ years, Joan; children Stephen (Tracy), Kathryn (Tim) Williams, and Leigh Schlief; grandchildren Stephanie, Danielle, Ernest, Christopher, Michael, and Bronwyn; great grandchild Riley; and his special companion Bartholomew. It made Rick happy to be involved, and he used his carpentry skills often – he was always working on a ‘project or two’, as well as passing along his skills to his many students. We are sure he is building a new home in heaven now. Rick was a generous, thoughtful and caring man, and was very dedicated in all that he did. He was well loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. A private family celebration of Richard’s life will be held. Arrangements entrusted with First Memorial Funeral Services, phone: 250-762-2299. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.mem.com.
Säufferer, Wilhelm Adolf “Bill”, born March 18, 1945 in Albershausen, Germany, went to his heavenly home on June 20, 2011, at the age of 66, in Kelowna. In 1980, Wilhelm moved his young family of six and their two grandparents to Canada in search of new opportunities. He soon built a thriving business based on fairness, honesty, integrity and hard work. Wilhelm will be remembered for his bright smile and cheerfulness, his kind heart in helping those in need, his ability to make anyone laugh, and his dedication to his Saviour, Jesus Christ. He is survived by his loving family, wife of 42 years, Inge, their four children; Gabriele (Peter) Schrod, Markus (Heidi), Michael (Amy), and Johannes (Leslie); his nine precious grandchildren: Stephanie, Sarah, Matthew, Olivia, Eli, Annika, Lauren, Aaron, and Makenna; father-in-law Erwin Giersch (Ursula) and four siblings in Germany. Wilhelm is predeceased by his parents, one sister and his motherin-law. Many thanks to numerous friends for their support and prayers, the exceptional staff at the Village at Mill Creek, and to Doctors B. Eliason and W. Carlyle for their compassionate care. A celebration of Wilhelm’s life will be held on Monday, June 27th at 2:30 pm at Grace Baptist Church, 1150 Glenmore Drive. Donations in lieu of flowers may be made to Chain of Love (chainoflove.org) or to The Alzheimer’s Society of BC. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com .

Options available when down payment required is an issue For most Canadians the hardest thing about buying a home—especially the first home—is saving the necessary down payment. The two basic options to qualify for a conventional mortgage is one with at least a 20 per cent down payment, or what is called a high ratio mortgage for buyers who can’t cover that 20 per cent payment. To obtain a high ratio mortgage requires default insurance, which is is sometimes confused with creditor mortgage life insurance. Mortgage life insurance provides insurance protection for you on the mortgage in the event of your death. Mortgage default insurance guarantees the mortgage by protecting the lender should the homeowner be unable to continue their payments for some unforeseen reason. This insurance also provides the lender with the flexibility to offer you the same competitive rates available to home buyers with a lar-
ger down payment. The mortgage premiums range from 1.75 to 2.75 per cent of the mortgage amount. These mortgage premiums are paid once and are added to the principal balance of the mortgage. For example, to purchase a $400,000 home with a five per cent down payment, your mortgage would be valued at $380,000 after the down payment. If the insurance premium is 2.75 per cent, that would add $10,450 to your mortgage. In the same instance, if you were to put 15 per cent down, the premium would be reduced to $7,000. To refinance your mortgage at any point provided the mortgage with the refinance is still high ratio, you are only required to pay a topup insurance premium on the increased amount. For mortgage default insurance, there are currently two main mortgage insurance providers in Canada—Genworth Financial Can-
ada and the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, a federal government agency. Since 1995, Genworth and CMHC have helped more than one million Canadians realize the dream of home ownership. The choice as to which insurer to use is at the discretion of the lender. Both Genstar and CMHC also offer another insurance product innovation, the homeowner assistance program. This program has enabled many people to stay in their home when faced with financial hardship that otherwise would place their mortgage at risk.

Humble kitchen sinks updated in style Stacy Downs CONTRIBUTOR
If you haven’t looked at kitchen sinks in a few years, you might be surprised. Kim Kubicki of Overland Park, Kan., certainly was when she recently remodeled her kitchen. “We had a doublebasin cast-iron sink before,” says Kubicki, a financial product analyst who is a baking enthusiast. Her husband, Steve Kubicki, does most of the cooking. “That sink had problems.”

THIS KITCHEN sink features integrated food prep bowls and a sliding wooden cutting board.
The drop-in sink’s rim picked up grime around the edges. Le Creuset pots chipped the sink surface and led to rust. Cookie sheets had to be turned sideways to clean. Designer Sue Shinneman, co-owner of Kitchen Studio showroom in Kansas City’s Crossroads Arts District, picked out a new sink for the Kubickis that feels like a luxury car in comparison. It’s undermounted, so Kim can wipe the counters with one swoop into the sink. The Blanco sink is Silgranit, an engineered

stone of 80 per cent granite and 20 per cent acrylic resin that shouldn’t chip or show dirt. And the single basin can accommodate baking sheets laid flat for cleaning. One of the main perks of a new sink is the selection of accessories, Kubicki says. She has a grid at the bottom that helps protect the sink surface, as well as a wire basket for utensils that require hand-washing. But what she really loves is the walnut cutting board that fits over her sink, extending the work surface. “We use it all the time,” Kubicki says. Another bonus: The cutting board acts as a sink cover. So if the couple are entertaining, guests don’t spy a sink full of dirty dishes. The once-humble— and often out of sight— kitchen sink has evolved into a focal point as kitchens have become more open to the gathering areas of the home. Shinneman initially laughed at the recent surge of sink accessories, but after using them, she concluded they come in handy. HGTV designer Candice Olson also is a fan. “More people are downsizing, so counter space is at a premium,”
Olson says. “Kitchen sink cutting boards add additional work surface. Flip boards with integrated bowls can turn the sink into a buffet. “Chef-style sinks have integrated steamers for vegetables and boiling water. It seems like the only thing kitchen sinks can’t do is clean themselves.” But Olson doesn’t like the popular single-basin sink, which many kitchen designers prefer for its clean look and capacity to hold large pots and pans. “There’s no place to rest (drying) dishes with a single basin,” says Olson, whose family is renting a house with a single-basin kitchen sink. “They go on the counter. And you don’t want the kids’ water bottles to go in this big single basin with dirty pots and pans. I prefer a double- or even triple-basin sink.” Manufacturers such as Kohler have come up with a compromise—single-basin sinks with a sixinch tall divide that maintains the streamlined look yet keeps functionality intact. As for appearance, colors beyond stainless steel or white—think browns, beiges and grays—are becoming more popular. But consumers are also going for reds and yellows in the kitchen, especially in farmhouse-

style sinks, says Adam Horowitz, director of marketing for Kohler kitchen products. The company offers 20 kitchen sink colors. “That apron front on a farmhouse sink really brings colour into the kitchen,” Horowitz says. “People are refreshing versus remodeling their homes. Colour is a pickme-up.” New countertops and cabinets are usually necessary when a new farmhouse sink is installed because of its wide girth. Stainless steel farmhouse sinks weigh 150 pounds; cast iron, another 50 to 75 pounds. Kohler recently introduced a farmhouse style that doesn’t require new cabinetry. Undermount sinks in general call for new countertops. But today’s drop-in sinks are looking more streamlined. Blanco’s Micro-Edge sink has a 1.25 millimeter edge that’s flush to the countertop, says Blanco marketing manager Christy Emens. Whatever material you choose for your multitasking basin, be sure to wipe up daily. And choose a specialized cleaner (avoid abrasives) that’s intended for the sink material, such as Bar Keepers Friend for stainless steel.
One of the least-known developments during the World War I era was concrete. Before then, most homes were built with a stone foundation. If you own an older home or are considering buying one, check out the foundation. If it’s made of stone, you will have to perform regular maintenance to prevent future problems. Sloping floors and cracked plaster are good signs that there might be problems with your foundation. Do a visual inspection of the interior and exterior of your foundation. If you see crumbling or bowing, you know you are in trouble. These will need to be repaired by a quality mason. Foundation issues are not something that the average do-it-yourselfer can handle because they require specialized knowledge and tools. If there’s no evidence of this, you can probably handle the repairs and maintenance yourself. A mortar coating on the interior of a foundation is standard. It helps hold the stones in place, serves as a moisture barrier and makes the basement look good.
It will flake off over time and will need to be repointed. If not, the mortar between the stones may fall out and allow the stones to shift. Refill the voids as soon as you see them. You can use prepackaged mortar for the interior, but you will want something softer for the outside mix. If you consistently need to repoint, try doing a complete top coating. The point here is just to keep everything functioning; unless you’re a trained mason, you probably won’t be able to make it look spectacular. Repointing demonstrates you have some kind of underlying moisture problem, and you will have to address this sooner or later. The most important thing is to keep the water outside of the house draining away from your foundation. All patios and walkways should slope away from the foundation. Gutters should be maintained so that water can flow properly away. Some people advocate for waterproofing systems, but they can be expensive and costly. If you are consistently repointing in one area, check the exterior of your house in order to assess your problem.

SHOWCASE W URBAN FARM
City slickers play Old MacDonald

Tan Vinh CONTRIBUTOR
In the name of urban farming, there were a lot of ways BJ Hedahl could have transformed her spacious, fenced backyard in Seattle’s Wedgwood neighbourhood—putting in an organic garden, a beehive or a chicken coop maybe. r But no. Hedahl wanted ducks. Or rather duck eggs: richer, denser, with yolks bigger than your chicken variety, she said. Here on a recent afternoon were her four ducks, hopping out of the kidrdie wading pool that’s plopped in the middle rof her yard, each webfoot capable of producing about 300 eggs every year. As one after another waddled by, I couldn’t help but do the math. That’s a lot of quiche. But these ducks aren’t a lot of work, she said. “They’re lower maintenrance than chickens and I think (the eggs) taste better.” Hedahl now runs workshops showing Seattleites how to raise ducks in their yards. These days, around Seattle you can find just about every conceivable workshop related to urban farming. The slow-food, eat-local movement has spurred hordes of city slickers to

BJ HEDAHL raises ducks at her home in the Wedgwood neighbourhood in Seattle, Wash. adopt some small measure of homestead mentality into their daily life. Workshops are packed. The nonprofit Seattle Tilth, which offers the widest range of city farming know-how workshops in Western Washington, reports record attendance in recent years. Chicken-raising courses have wait lists. Sessions on beekeeping for honey fill quickly. The group’s annual summer self-guided tour of chicken coops around Seattle has expanded to include homes
with bees, ducks and goats, and now extends to the Eastside. The widespread interest has led Seattle Tilth to diversify its class offerings to include raising ducks and goats. Raising urban dairy goats, which was previously rare (and before 2007 illegal) in Seattle, has become trendy here and in other parts of the country. Three years ago, Jennie Grant, who teaches the dairy-goat workshop at Tilth’s Wallingford, Wash., headquarters, con-
vinced Seattle’s city government to allow homeowners to raise miniature (100 pounds or lighter), dehorned goats. Urban farmers consider goats to be “the city cow,” a smaller milk producer that needs no more yard space than a typical dog. Grant’s class has gotten more popular with Seattleites who are curious about getting fresh milk to make cheese and yogurt. She tells potential goat owners to buy a breed that’s quiet. Erect a 5-foot fence, build a shed
and be prepared to milk day and night. Grant lives in Seattle’s Madrona neighborhood, with a backyard featuring seven chickens, two goats and a view of Lake Washington. With the eggs and the goat milk, that’s pretty much all you need for a souffle, she said. She took me out back to the pen and chicken coop. It felt like visiting a house on rural Vashon Island. Her La Mancha goat, Snowflake, greeted me with a couple of jumps. Her Oberhasli goat,
Maple, nibbled on my coat zipper and notebook. She pulled Maple into the pen, gave her a pale of oatmeal treats and milked her, in the same manner as you would a cow. The trick is to finish milking before the goat finishes snacking, said Grant, or she might not remain still. Her goats each can produce around a gallon a day. Grant has it on her oatmeal, her husband pours it over cold cereal and her 10-year-old son drinks it straight.
The surplus is given to neighbours or made into chevre and mozzarella. It makes for a mean goatcheese pizza with sundried tomatoes and caramelized onions, she said. How does it taste? Clean and rich, similar to whole milk from a cow, with none of the awful tangy or gamy flavor that you can get from the goat’s milk on grocery shelves. Grant said her other goat, Snowflake, produces an even richer milk. “It’s like drinking halfand-half.” For Hedahl, raising ducks has involved a bit of trial and error since there weren’t many local duck owners to turn to for advice. An early mistake was unwittingly buying a breed that quacked loudly. That didn’t win her any fans among the neighbours about three years ago. She now has two each of the khaki Campbell and Indian runner breeds—a lot quieter, said Hedahl, who recently started teaching “City Ducks 101,” a class with the subtitle, “Learn how to get started, raising your very own team of ducks—no lake required!” See City A22
