Affordable housing shortfall claim challenged Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Housing is affordable—it’s just “not sexy” to say so, a member of a research organization focused on examining statistics to get a grip on economic and demographic change told a crowd of Kelowna developers Wednesday afternoon. Ryan Berlin, with the Urban Futures Institute, presented Urban Development Initiative members with evidence aimed at weakening B.C.’s public image as the most unaffordable market in Canada. Amid the data offered up was that 37 per cent of renter households in the Lower Mainland make $50,000, and the bottom of the barrel purchasing options for 2010 were in the area of $213,000. Should renters want to become owners, he explained, they could do so even if they may have to drive vast distances to their jobs. “The vast majority of homeowners in Canada can afford to live in their homes and there’s no indication of a housing bub-

ble,” he said, pointing out the common ratio of housing costs to wages is also a skewed measure. Berlin said the bulk of Canadians are spending less than 30 per cent of their earnings—it’s closer to 16 per cent—on housing, and that’s well within the expectation of what’s affordable. While one audience member pointed out that statistics are rarely rolled together in Berlin’s fashion, he said the goal wasn’t to debase other research but rather look at different ways of dealing with inequities. “We try to define affordability too simply,” he said. “We need to think about measures in different ways. “We shouldn’t be saying, can tenants afford the best. We should be saying can they afford something achievable?” Once that’s squared away, then the real issues with affordability can be addressed, he argued. “I think if we want more affordable housing we need to come up See Housing A5

“You are under arrest. You have the right to milk bones and to be loved.” The words ring out in the atrium of the Okanagan College Centre for Learning like a battle

Judge has reservations about sentence for sexual assaulter Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

A Kelowna judge sentenced Terri Ian Mullar to two years, less the 53 days he’s already served in jail, for a sexual assault three years earlier, but admitted reservations about letting him off so easy. “An attack of this sort, with no understanding of why it happened, leads me to wonder if Mr. Muller is an explosive, hidden be-

hind a benign package,” said Justice Peter Rogers. “That worries me quite a bit.” The sentence was a joint submission on the part of Muller’s lawyer and Crown counsel, after Mullar had entered a guilty plea to the charge a year earlier. The 32-year-old Fraser Valley resident admitted to a May 20, 2007, sexual assault of a 19-year-old woman.

According to an agreed statement of fact, the victim was walking on Abbott Street after leaving the Gotchas nightclub when Muller approached her. They had met earlier in the line-up for the club. At the time, the victim remarked it was a strange coincidence that they were walking home on the same path together. Muller put his arm around the woman, in ini-

tially in a “friendly way,” although that changed decisively when he tried to lead her into an Abbott Street driveway, forcing her to the ground and covering her mouth to stifle her screams, indicating he was armed with a knife. He then sexually assaulted her—removing her underwear and lifting her skirt—while she fought back. When he removed his hand she let out a scream

that was heard by neighbours. They came out Muller had fled the scene, only to be picked up hours later by the police with scratches on his face. “I cannot express the deep regret and sorrow I have as a result of my actions,” said Muller before his sentence came down. “I don’t have any clear memory of my actions, and I have never hurt anyone before, let alone a fe-

male.” Muller, a father and caretaker to his ill mother, went on to say the bulk of his friends were women, some of whom had also suffered the results of sexual assaults and violence. Muller said he can’t reconcile his actions that night with the life he’s led. The incongruities were also the subject of numerous letters of friends and family. But Justice Rogers

also acknowledged the victim’s impact statement was “heart-wrenching,” showing him what happened that night will have repercussions on both parties for years to come. In addition to his jail sentence, Muller will get three years probation upon his release and will be subject to a 10-year weapons ban. He will also have to submit his DNA. kmichaels @kelownacapnews.com

▼ DRAGONS’ DEN

Business dream ideas put to the test Pitch from A1 “I mean basically, we get our dogs for entertainment. We want to say companionship, but what is companionship if not entertainment?” Eklund herself appears to have that all-important entertaining appeal as well. Decked out in headto-toe marketing garb, with a painted van in the parking lot and canine assistants Luka and Tori at her side, the pizzazz factor is hardly lacking here. This is critical for the show, explains associate producer Richard Maerov, who is up out of his chair twice during Eklund’s pitch, which proves to be the most interactive of the morning. “We’re TV producers. We’re not dragons,” he explains. “We’re looking for something that will look good on TV.” Dragons’ Den is a reality television show

which originated in Japan and has become so popular in Canada it competes with Survivor in its Wednesday evening time slot. The show pits one new entrepreneur up against five so-called dragons—successful entrepreneurs—who offer up investments of their own money in exchange for a portion of the new entrepreneur’s company, should the company seem worthy. Describing themselves as “dragon experts” Maerov and his partner, Michelle MacMillan, said Thursday’s purpose isn’t about finding the perfect business pitch as much as it’s about offering the dragons something new and interesting that will get a reaction. For former Okanagan College professor Gary Brown, this “it factor” appears to be a bit of a problem. He’s trying to con-

vince them he has the solution to teaching science and technology courses in a manner that will bring students back to the subjects. The National Science Foundation has been researching the state of science education for decades, he says, as fewer students are choosing the option for study. He believes he can build a marketable curriculum that governments and school systems can use to attract young minds. “There are over 100 guys working for Ontario Hydro today making $97,000 off a two-year diploma,” he said, adding he penned the training program. Even with the $12million sign he’s got to show them how much UBC paid Carl Wieman to develop their science education solution— the Carl Wieman Science Education Initiative—

Brown simply elicits a thank you. No one is told whether they will get onto the show today, but Kahlil Hosseini said he believes he’s got a good chance. As pitchman 19, he had plenty of opportunity to calm his nerves before taking his Quick Brush up to bat. The brush eliminates the need to dip the paintbrush while painting, saving billable hours for professionals and scarce time for homeowners. This is a high-stakes venture for Hosseini, who sold his house in Calgary and stacked $100,000 onto his credit cards to follow his dream. Once an engineer in Iran, he became a house painter when he immigrated to Canada, learning English from his clients and eventually taking their advice to patent the device he used to knock a little time off his own work day.

“When they’re gone... they’re gone”

SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS

KAHLIL HOSSEINI made his pitch to the Dragons’ Den associate producers for his paint brush product at the TV show audition call in Kelowna on Thursday. “I was earning $500 a day in Calgary,” he said. “It was booming. There were no painters. We were booking two to three months in advance.” Using a tub and a drill he worked up a system that began to knock hours off each job by eliminating dipping and trips up and down the later. In 2005, he patented the product and proceeded to spend several years

pouring his life savings into the effort. Today he’s commuting to Calgary to earn a living, having returned from three-years worth of product prototyping and eventual manufacturing in China. His pitch was a request for $200,000 for marketing in exchange for 30 per cent of the company. Several Kelowna entrepreneurs have made it

onto the Dragons’ Den show with mixed results. Kim Williams, owner of the Wild Kingdom sensuality shops, was on last season and did not receive any investment. Trent Kitsch parlayed his appearance into major market power selling 10,000 pairs of his Saxx underwear in the first year following his appearance and moving the company to the coast.

Many of the organizations are facing cutbacks from other funding sources, or increased demand on their services. Kelowna Art Gallery executive director Nataley Nagy said the gallery’s school tour program depends on grant support. “Without the support of the regional district, none of these young people, we feel, would have the exposure to the visual arts they currently receive at their school.” The gallery gauged how many families return with their children once the kids had visited with their school, and found not many visiting kids returned with their parents. “It is definitely an investment in the future.” Final approval of grants takes place with the adoption of the regional district budget, slated for March. 25. msimmons@kelownacapnews.com

Trustee calls money policy ‘absurd’ Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

New requirements from the province to spend the school district’s entire operating grant, used to maintain and buildout school properties, has Central Okanagan school trustees questioning the Minister of Education’s logic. “It seems to me this is a little bit absurd,” said trustee Gail Given as the board of education tried to ascertain what the requirement means. According to the district’s director of finance, Larry Paul, anything that is not spent will be seized by the ministry and the district is forbidden from exceeding the budget by overspending. This places school districts where work must be completed during the spring, fall and summer, when the area is not in the throws of a winter freeze, at a serious disadvantage to those where work can be completed year-round, the trustees noted. “I think the main thing is, like any good house-

at the requirement. The board has opted to write a letter to the minis-

Pursuant to Section 30 (4) of the School Act, the Board of Education of School District No. 23 (Central Okanagan) is requesting that the Minister of Education vary the Electoral Boundaries of the School District. At the December 9, 2009 Board of Education Public Meeting, the following motion was passed: THAT: The Board request the Minister of Education to change the Trustee Electoral Boundaries on the Westside as follows: One Trustee elected to represent the District of West Kelowna; and One Trustee elected to represent the District of Peachland and the Central Okanagan West Electoral Area. (Central Okanagan West Electoral Area includes Trader’s Cove, Fintry, Killiney Beach, Westshore Estates, Wilson’s Landing, Rural Peachland, IR9 and IR10) This request only affects the two Trustee Electoral Boundaries on the Westside of the School District. The Board of Education’s opinion is that this request better addresses the population imbalance while maintaining local representation. If approved by the Minister of Education, this request will result in the Trustee Electoral Area Order to be adjusted as follows:

Housing from A1 with a way to get people in good jobs so they can afford higher rents or to buy,” he said. “It’s not about subsidizing units, it’s easier to build housing units… we need to look at diversifying and building the economy over the next 20 years.” That argument, he said, may be especially pertinent in Kelowna, which has repeatedly earned the dubious distinction of being one of the most unaffordable housing markets in Canada. “Nobody is saying Kelowna is the powerhouse of the B.C. economy,” he said.

Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Stockwell Day held a townhall meeting with thousands of his constituents earlier this week. And he did it without setting foot in his riding. The local MP, whose riding includes the Westside, had to be in Vancouver with Prime Minister Stephen Harper, scuttling his original plan to be in Penticton to conduct his first ever telephone townhall meeting. But his physical absence made no difference as 9,000 people were recorded as participating in the one-hour meeting, which was conducted by telephone. “I’m very happy with the way it went,” said Day.

“It’s one more way to get the message out and feedback in.” The meeting, which was preceded by a call to 40,000 numbers in the riding inviting those who answered to stay on the line for the event, was made possible by advances in telephone technology, he said. It drew thousands more then would normally attend a live meeting. It also afforded those who listened in an opportunity to ask questions directly of Day and get his direct response, participate in three instant polls he conducted during the event and allowed those whose questions could not be included because of time constraints to leave messages for the MP to follow up on.

He said the advantage of the telephone townhall meeting was that he could participate despite being out of the riding and did not have to cancel as he would have done with a live meeting. Despite his satisfaction with his first foray into live telephone townhall meetings, Day said he does not feel they will replace face-to-face meetings with individuals. Instead, he said, they are another tool to gather feedback from constituents. Day said he plans to hold more telephone townhall meetings in future and will recommend them to other MPs when he returns to Ottawa next week. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

to the 17 questions he was asked during the call, 200 other questions were left for him to respond to. They covered a wide array of government operations and services. “There’s no question technology is leading to a greater democracy,” said Day. In addition to the questions, during the call Day asked participants if the federal government is right to tackle the current $50 billion federal deficit by spending cuts and not raising taxes (79 per cent said yes), if the government should hold the line on operational sending instead of raising taxes (79 per cent said yes) and if federal money should be spent on building new professional sports arenas (80 per cent said no). During the call, partic-

Kelowna city councillors spoke out on behalf of agriculture this week, as they forwarded a resolution that could eventually allow them to lobby the province for more funding for farmers. “If you look across the country, the government hasn’t supported agriculture as part of our economy. Before the Olympics, the province doubled the budget for tourism, but agriculture has been stymied for years,” said Coun. Robert Hobson following the reading of a resolution being sent to the Southern Interior Local Government Association. If it’s approved at the association-level, it will be forwarded to the Union of B.C. Municipalities annual conference, where local-level politicians lobby to impact provincial legislation, and in this case ask the province to “increase financial support of agriculture consistent with the na-

tional average.” It’s the type of support, explained Hobson, that should eventually benefit everyone anyway. “It’s an investment in a renewable resource like forestry,” he said. “(The Ministry of Energy) got a boost a couple years ago, and now it’s got lots of money, maybe funds can come from them.” Couns. Charlie Hodge and Graeme James also threw their support behind industry, referring to it as the back-bone of the economy. “Funding is ridiculously low,” said Hodge. “This is the future, it’s where food comes from and it’s what made this province what it is.” In recent years, provincial agriculture budgets have shrunk by $2.5 million in expenditures, which is a fact that doesn’t indicate further investment in any industry. But Joe Sardinha, president of the B.C. Fruit Growers Association, said council’s support is

much appreciated, as his peers are facing dire circumstances. “It’s a disaster out there —this is the third year of poor returns,” he said, explaining that’s left more farmers making the decision to shut down portions of their orchard to reduce costs. As is, the expectation is that orchardists will bring in 12.5 cents a pound, for apples—a halfcent rise from last year’s returns —and further financial failures will only make things worse. “The other thing that’s going to have an impact on production and fruit is growers ability to support financing and credit for coming year’s crop,” he said. “Growers by and large did a good job of finding credit in years past, but when you have two years in a row of similar concerns, it may be a different situation altogether.” Cuts to supplies, like fertilizers, or services, such as pruning crews, are the first to go, but the worst is the fact Sardinha be-

lieves many will cut their insurance policies. “I don’t know if they’ll have the money to go out an get hail insurance,” he said. “It’s that tight out there.” Looking at ways to regulate the market may be the best bet to ensuring agriculture has a future, he explained, noting that despite its weakened standing, agriculture is one of the financial backbones of the Okanagan. “We generate $200 million of economic activity in a year, and you can’t replace that overnight,” he said. Coun. Andre Blanleil pointed out that while he’s not against the idea of further industry support, it’s important to remember that funding isn’t limitless. “Where is this money coming from?” he said. “Do we ask them to cut other things, or raise taxes?…I realize these are great motherhood issues, but at the end of the day, who is going to pay the bill?”

▼ ENDING HOMELESSNESS

Feds have to step up with funding Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna, like other cities across Canada, has what it takes to end homelessness, but the federal government needs to step up to make it happen, says one of the leading authorities on the problem. “Without a national housing plan, you in Kelowna can’t do what you need to, to end homelessness,” said Michael Shapcott, affordable housing and social innovation director at the Toronto based Wellesley Institute, a nonprofit research organization, during the UBC Okanagan leg of the B.C. Affordable Housing Research and Action roundtable. “There needs to be capital funding for the brick and mortar,” he said, noting that the national plan could act as a reference guide organizations

could pull off the shelf when in need. Highlighting Canada’s shortcomings in this area, Shapcott compared the Gross Domestic Product to the population, highlighting that doing so ranks this nation the seventh most wealthy on the global stage. Conversely, it’s the only country in the OECD that’s failed to come up with a national housing plan. “We have a patchwork system, that’s not meeting the needs of Canadians,” he said, pointing out that even the U.S. has a plan to stop homelessness in the next decade, and that country’s problem is, proportionately, more daunting. As is, estimates show that anywhere from 150,000 to 300,000 Canadians are homeless, but the more telling figure, says Shapcott, is that 3.1

million Canadians live in unaffordable housing. It’s a national weakness that’s ultimately costing taxpayers a lot of money, he said, pointing to the fact that even the Canadian Chamber of Commerce has lamented the price to business. Access to affordable housing shapes the social, economic and political life of a society and when its lacking, it impacts the health of a nation.

By his estimates, Canada could save billions in health care dollars if investments were made in addressing affordable housing. While it may seem like an overwhelming task to get the federal government to pour money into programs that have seen funding cuts dating back to the ’90s, Shapcott said support in private members bill C-304, which calls for a national housing strategy, could be the impetus needed to get the government going. “They say it’s not a national issue, it’s a local issue,” he said. “But in fact this is a problem for the federal government. (Getting adequate housing for Canadians) is not just a problem, it’s their legal responsibility.” kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Owner of Dr. Specs Optical, Catherine Goheen, reports her experience (when we wear lenses without the AR treatment, we have 13% to 18 % of the light bouncing off the front of the lens.

have better vision with AR lenses, because the glare is not interfering with what I see. Because my lenses have AR on both the back & front, both sides are without glare. Even the statistics show that the drivers with AR lenses have fewer car accidents than drivers without AR lenses. Studies have shown that when children wore AR lenses they felt more conﬁ dent, because their friends are focused on their modern frame and their eyes, instead of lenses with a glare.

Computer - No Eye Strain: With my AR lenses, I do not experience eye strain while working on the computer, sitting in a class room, or watching TV.

New Coatings Help Protect Lenses from Scratching and also have an Easy Clean Surface. In the past, the negative

aspect to AR lenses was that they were difﬁcult to clean. Now with a new coating, good quality AR coatings actually repels the dirt rather than attracts dirt. Plus, the Anti Scratch qualities make it tougher, than I have seen in my 25 years in the industry. Anyone who is hard on their lenses, should think about a good quality AR coating.

Our Eyes are the Mirror to our Soul.

Teachers, Sales people, politicians, grand parents –we all want to look into someone’s eyes and have the person we are communicating with see us. AR lenses allow people to look into our eyes, as if there are no lenses there, because they, too, see no glare.

Benefit to Transition Wearers: According to Essilor’s testing, if one has lenses that become dark outside, their lenses will return lighter 33% faster, if they have quality AR treatment. This year we have been able to drop our prices at Dr. Specs Optical. Our best quality AR treatment is the same price as AR was in 1986. And our new AR lenses are five times better than the AR lenses back in 1986. Come into Dr. Specs Optical and discuss your hobbies, activities and profession with one of our experienced opticians. There are many different qualities of AR lenses, so it is important that you consider your options. We have a team with a 100 years combined experience, and are happy to share our knowledge.

Review the minimum wage

ry living on the minimum wage of $8/hour in British Columbia and see how far it gets you. Worse, try living on the ‘training wage’ of $6/hour. It’s a no-brainer that anyone on minimum wage can’t afford to put a roof over their head and food on the table. And that’s not factoring in hydro, telephone, transportation, medical, clothing —or kids. In a recent report entitled Myths and Facts about the Min-

imum Wage in B.C., Iglika Ivanova of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, recommends that the provincial government immediately increase the minimum wage to $10/hour, and eliminate the $6 training wage. When the $8 minimum wage was introduced in 2001 it was the highest in Canada. But since then other provinces have increased their minimum wage levels to adjust for inflation, leaving this province now at the bottom of the rank-

ings. Stats Canada draws the poverty line at an annual wage of $22,229 based on 2009 figures, which is equivalent to a wage of $11.11/hour based on a 40-hour week 50 weeks of the year. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business maintains small businesses can be adversely affected by an increase in the minimum wage. But Ivanova argues: “Employment levels in any economy, including B.C.’s, are determined by a number of factors and minimum wages are

a very small player overall.” Another myth Ivanova diffused is that few people actually earn minimum wage. While only 2.3 per cent of B.C.’s workers actually earn $8, over 13 per cent of all employees in the province earn under $10/hour. That’s over 250,000 people. Both George Abbott and Mike de Jong, candidates in the Liberal Party leadership race, have endorsed policies to review the minimum wage with public consultation. It’s long overdue.

Abbott might be a Liberal leader with appeal to left wing voters

ast weekend, while chatting with some friends in the Lower Mainland about who might be the next Liberal leader, one of them said she liked George Abbott. Her husband chimed in, “Yeah, they should elect him. I think he’d do a good job.” I looked carefully at him for a hint of sarcasm. “Really?” I asked. For as long as I’d known him, he has lived and breathed the NDP. If he wasn’t forced to, I don’t think he’d even

drive on the right side of the road, he’s such a leftie. Entrenched, devout and sign-waving is he. “I know. He’s almost good enough to be in the NDP,” he replied. I had never really thought about Abbott bringing in the left side of the spectrum. He isn’t as conservative as the other candidates, but I don’t see him crossing over to directly woo the NDP anytime soon. Still, it made me think. Personally, I’d prefer George Abbott at the

NUTSHELL

Shelley Nicholl helm, as opposed to the others. He exudes the stability and conciliatory approach the province could use. But, maybe I under estimated his draw. Quite likely, if he becomes the Liberal leader, ergo premier, he could yank in

a fair number of on-thefence NDPers. As well, without much of a choice further to the right, most of the stronger conservative members would still stay with the Liberals. That means the Liberals have a chance to draw in a wider spectrum and could really increase their market share. It’s a strategy the Liberals might want to think about. More importantly though, it’s valuable to weigh which candidate would be the best overall

for B.C. While Abbott isn’t as flashy or photogenic as the others, he carries that Joe Clark-type respect from his colleagues, the public and the media. But, unlike Clark who was quite young when he governed Canada, Abbott has a longer legacy in the cat-fight that B.C. politics can sometimes be and is not likely to get flustered as a leader. He faces a tough style challenge from his competitors. Kevin Falcon is fur-

ther to the right. He comes across as confident, feisty and the fellow to get things done. We tend to like that in a leader. He’s been compared to Premier Gordon Campbell, which could work against him, but he hasn’t tried to distinctly distance himself from the old guard. Christy Clark, on the other hand, has noted the difference strongly. It’s easy to do, coming from outside the government. She has the advantage of charm, distance and the

title of deputy premier. Her political past isn’t as long and she certainly had mixed reviews as minister of education, but that was a while ago and people forget. Mike de Jong hasn’t been much of a presence in the race, but he could have some influence on the outcome of the race by swaying his followers in a certain direction for the second name on the ballot. It’s unlikely we will See Nicholl A9

Perhaps Okanagan Sun are over-directed To the editor: I do not know what the yearly budget of the Okanagan Sun Football team is, but I am flabbergasted to hear that it takes 17 directors to run the show.

This, especially considering that many million-dollar companies, often employing hundreds, if not thousands of people, can often get by with less than a dozen

directors. Perhaps, rather than letting the head coach of the team go, the ranks of the directors should have been reduced. Sylvia Schoepf, West Kelowna

Pending retirements leave Champagne or beer room for new psychologists To the editor: A clinical psychologist, I am writing to endorse Dr. Paul Latimer’s Feb. 11 column in the Capital News: Psychiatry: Difficult but rewarding, and to expand on it. There is a lot of overlap between what we psychiatrists and psychologists do but there are distinct differences as well. Psychologists have comparable amounts of university training but spend more time learning how to evaluate people using psychological tests, and to treat people using specifically psychological nonmedical, strategies. One of the main differ-

ences between psychiatry and psychology is that psychiatrists prescribe medication and psychologists, while seeing a role for medication in many cases, don’t. Psychology, along with psychiatry and all the other mental health professions, provides an opportunity to make significant differences in people’s lives, and to meet a wide variety of people across all spectrums of life. To be sure, psychological practice can be mentally and emotionally challenging but, on the other hand, many of us enjoy flexible work schedules, and no two days are

even remotely the same. With about half of all psychologists in B.C. scheduled to retire in the next decade there is considerable room for new entrants into the profession, whether as clinicians, professors or researchers. Psychology is one of the most popular courses in high school and university, and it may be hoped that more young adults—those with compassion and curiosity— will consider pursuing careers in mental health. The need will remain strong for many years to come. Gary W. Lea, Kelowna

Campbell exits, his legacy still uncertain

ordon Campbell was in a buoyant mood as he left the legislative chamber after his final question period as premier. “Free at last, free at last,” he said, quoting a traditional song made famous by U.S. civil rights leader Martin Luther King. The shackles of high office officially remain around his ankles for another week or so, but with a stand-pat budget awaiting the next premier’s priorities, his 27-year career as an elected politician is effectively over. Campbell’s place in B.C. history is secure on several fronts, including scheduled elections, reduced business and personal tax rates and a more mature relationship with Ottawa. There are at least two important areas where his achievements remain in doubt—aboriginal relations and climate change. In interviews last

VICTORIA VIEWS

Tom Fletcher week, Campbell said his greatest regret was the demise of the Recognition and Reconciliation Act. That law would have recognized a form of aboriginal rights and title across the province, essentially a huge out-of-court settlement for the 90 per cent of B.C. that remains without treaty settlements. It all collapsed pretty quickly, partly because it was seen as a backroom deal that was to be pushed through before the 2009 election. The mining and forest industries were alarmed, the legislation was held back, aboriginal leaders took it to hearings, and chiefs around the province rejected it as a watered-down version

of the rights they believed they could win in court. It is remarkable that Campbell went from “professional Indian fighter,” as he was characterized by some after his 2002 referendum on treaty settlements, to the architect of the “New Relationship,” arguably a too-generous bid to untie B.C.’s biggest political knot. The Tsawwassen and Maa-Nulth treaties are important, but they were hashed out the old-fashioned way, with years and lawyers and consultants and sacks of taxpayers’ money. Two northern B.C. Liberal MLAs voted against them—the split remains. On aboriginal relations, Campbell started deep in his own end and carried the ball at best to midfield. On climate change, one could say he scored at least a field goal. When I sat down with him last week, he mentioned a re-

cent conference in California he attended with George Schultz, the economist and business executive who rose to be secretary of state for Ronald Reagan. With plans for a carbon trading system in disarray in the U.S., Campbell said Schultz pointed to B.C.’s revenue neutral carbon tax and said that is exactly what other jurisdictions should be doing to reduce greenhouse gases. By 2012, the B.C. carbon tax will account for just under seven cents on a litre of gasoline, on top of other fuel taxes B.C. and Ottawa continue to collect. It will set a “carbon price” of $30 a tonne across all fossil fuels. Campbell is convinced the carbon tax will survive, if not grow. He says leadership candidates should look at continuing the increases that are mandated until 2012, and continuing to offset them with personal and

business income tax reductions. One leadership candidate is already touting the benefits of the carbon tax, and surprisingly, he’s not a B.C. Liberal. The NDP’s John Horgan now admits he was wrong to oppose the tax, but he wants it extended to the non-fuel emissions of heavy industries. Horgan has also cautiously embraced Campbell’s other main climate effort, run-of-river hydro and wind power, although he wants public ownership through a new B.C. Hydro division. Campbell’s climate agenda will have to reach beyond today’s mainly symbolic effort and spread to other jurisdictions if it is going to change the course of B.C. history.

Cactus Club honours chef’s legacy in memory of the Jamaican student who moved to Kelowna in 2007 to become a Red Seal certified chef. Munroe was a scholarship student who attended the Culinary Arts program at Okanagan College. As part of his training, he worked at the Cactus Club location in Kelowna.

In the summer of 2010, Munroe lost his life in a boating accident. Since then, his Cactus Club colleagues have worked with the Okanagan College Foundation to develop a $1,000 scholarship in his memory to benefit a domestic or international culinary arts student.

Musical legacy is longevity Barry Gerding EDITOR

When you talk about longevity in the music business spanning a nearly 40-year time frame, Manhattan Transfer may not be the first artist or group that comes to mind. But they deserve to have that kind of recognition. The four-member harmony group first started performing in New York City in 1974, were signed to their first contract with Atlantic Records a year later, and scored their first national hit on the second release from their debut album, a song called Operator. Tim Hauser started the group back then, recruiting the two female voices for the quartet, Laurel Masse and Janis Siegel when they were taxi fares for him during his cab driving days. They became a foursome with the addition of Alan Paul, who was co-starring at that time in the original Broadway production of Grease. Today, the only change in the group’s line-up was when Masse left in 1978 after being injured in a car accident, replaced by Cheryl Bentyne. Hauser says he has a hard time understanding sometimes how a group who sing contemporary American music songs with a jazz influence are still going strong today. “It’s quite an achievement for us, “said Hauser this week in an interview with the Capital News from his home in Los Angeles. “Our North American audience kind of comes and goes through the years as music popularity trends come and go,” Hauser said. “But we have a solid base in Europe and Asia, and in Japan. We tour in those countries twice a year.” In Canada, Hauser says Manhattan Transfer has been a performing staple over the years at jazz festivals

Transfer are Alan Paul, Janis Siegel, Tim Hauser and Cheryl Bentyne. in Montreal, where they received a lifetime achievement award, and Toronto. “I don’t think we played Kelowna before but we’ve played Vancouver and Victoria in the past.” Hauser says their popularity overseas relates to their musical jazz roots, combined with how European and Asian audiences love jazz music. “I’ve always been curious about the jazz influence. I have read other jazz musicians say that it is the freedom of expression in that form of music that attracts people.” Hauser says his dream was to create a four-part a cappella harmony group that was able to interpret songs in different musical styles, not just be solely stuck in the jazz mode. “My thought was at that time you would see harmony group singers who would specialize in a certain musical style, and they never ventured outside of that. I wanted to incorporate different music and singing styles, and I always, from the start, had the idea that it would be a four-part harmony group.” The other suggestion from Paul, added Hauser, was the idea of the group always appearing dressed in elegant gowns and tuxedos. “No-

body else was doing that at the time,” he said. From the record success, Manhattan Transfer were fixtures on the variety show circuit in the 1970s, eventually getting the opportunity to host their own comedy-variety show in 1975 on Sunday nights. Their show was a challenge for censors who had issues with some of their more risqué song lyrics, such as Well Well Well, My Cat Fell In The Well, while the writing staff wanted to appeal to the family audience who normally tuned into The Wonderful World of Disney at that hour. One distinct footnote from their short TV variety show history was their program played host to the first U.S. television appearance of Bob Marley and the Wailers. In the years since, Grammy awards and hit records have followed, but Hauser acknowledges some frustration at times at the onehit wonders who were more popular in their time than Manhattan Transfer but had no lasting power. “I understand that at times over the years we fell between the cracks, and we weren’t selling enormous quantities of records,” he said. “But then you look at other musical groups who weren’t as talented as us perhaps but who made enormous amounts of money for a brief reign of popularity, and you say to yourself that’s not right. “But I guess on the other hand, they haven’t lasted as long as us. “We’re still doing this and many of those bands are forgotten about 20 years later.” Kelowna fans can be reminded why Manhattan Transfer has survived all these years when the group performs in concert Sunday, Feb. 27, 8 p.m., at Kelowna Community Theatre.

Angry unemployed youth shake up status quo around the world

n Tunisia they are called Hittistes, in Egypt they are Shabab Atileen, in Britain they are NEETs, the Japanese call these people Freeters, and in Spain they are Mileuristas. These slang words were developed to describe unemployed youth. A Hittistes means those who lean against walls, NEET’s stands for not in education, employment or training, and Freeters combines two words; freelance and worker. On a global scale these terms illustrate just how bad youth unemployment is. It also makes it easier to understand why so many young people in Egypt were calling for the resignation of Hosni Mubarak. Ninety per cent of workers without jobs in Egypt are under the age of 30. Youth unemployment is 24.5 per cent, triple than the Egyptian national average. In some less developed countries it’s even worse.

Nature detectives wanted Registration is now underway for this year’s Nature Detectives Spring Break Camps at Mission Creek Regional Park.

SCHOOL’S IN

Jane Muskens In South Africa the unemployment rate of 15 to 24 year olds is 51 per cent and for women of the same age group it is as high as 63 per cent. Imagine living in a country where over half of the young adults don’t have jobs. On a global scale youth unemployment is a bad thing especially for those who opted out of employment to pursue a post-secondary education and then find they still can’t get a job, which is the case for most Egyptians. Large scale youth unemployment fuels social unrest. In the past year, all the youth protests we read about in the paper or saw on TV (such as those oc-

MECHANICAL A.R. DYCK

curring in France and Great Britain) had to do with either access to postsecondary education or employment. These protests were pointing to much deeper social and economic problems. Societies lose when their young adults do not have the opportunity to engage in their communities as an employed worker. Countries are essentially wasting their young human capital and burdening the older workers as these men and women can’t find a way to support themselves beyond social assistance. Through time, these workers will become disenchanted and may never find a place in the work force as their skills and self-esteem will begin to deteriorate. Worst case scenarios are youth who opt out of society and find themselves either still living at home, in youth shelters, couch surfing or on the street. These youth may

work under the table at various jobs where some may need to sell drugs to make ends meet. Subsistence for them may be just enough money to feed themselves and find a warm place to sleep. Through time, these youth become the lost generation because we don’t have a way to integrate them back into society. In a lot of ways we all lose when our young adults can’t find work. Youth unemployment is a complicated issue and something that can’t be fixed overnight by some government program. It has to begin with communities wanting to ensure that their youth have the opportunity to participate in society regardless of the national or global economy. When we can figure this one out, maybe we can begin to engage our youth beyond protests. Jane Muskens is the registrar at Okanagan College.

New league for local soccer talent Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

A new league, with an emphasis on player development and increased exposure for players, will be available to aspiring young soccer talent in the valley beginning in 2012. The B.C. Soccer Premier League will feature eight regional teams, including the Thompson Okanagan Football Club. Each of the founding clubs will field both boys and girls teams in the U-13, U-14, U-15, U-16 and U-17/18 divisions. Thompson Okanagan teams will compete for one more season in the Super Y League—until the end of July 2011—before officially becoming members of the B.C. Soccer Premier League next spring. “Up until now, it’s been a bit muddy as to where the best players in our province should go and play, where they would best develop,” said Mark Krehel, managing director of Thompson Okanagan FC and president of Kelowna

United. “This is a streamlining of the way things have been done in the past. The format will give the provincial team programs and the universities obvious venues to watch and evaluate our players, and it will give our players a higher profile. Having all the best players in the same league within B.C. makes sense for their development.” The seven other teams will be based in Abbotsford, Burnaby/North Shore, Coquitlam, Vancouver Island, South Fraser, Surrey, and Vancouver/ Richmond. The concept for the new league was a joint effort between B.C. Soccer and the High Performance League committee, a 16-member group from the club, district and league levels in B.C. The teams will play a 21-game regular season from March until October. With just one game to play per weekend per team, Krehel said the players have a chance to develop at a more methodic-

al rate than in the past. “This way the kids get their proper rest and they’re not burned out by the end of each weekend from playing twice in two days,” he said. “The longer playing season should be a benefit to them.” In the past, the winners of the Provincial A Cup tournaments have represented B.C. at the national championships. Beginning in 2012, the B.C. Soccer Premier League champs will attend nationals instead. The new format and league also allows B.C. Soccer to operate on the same platform as other Canadian provinces. “We’re aligning ourselves with the rest of the country,” said Krehel. “We’re the only ones in Canada who choose our provincial champions in June and July. We then have to wait until October for nationals, so this arrangement will eliminate that.” Thompson Okanagan FC will consist of five regional bodies—Kelowna, Vernon, Salmon Arm, Kamloops and Pentic-

athletes from as far away as Prince George, Nakusp and the Kootenays could conceivably end up playing for TOFC. As far as the Kelow-

na United programs are concerned, Krehel said nothing will change from last season as local select teams will continue play in the Thompson Okanag-

Rockets get D-man back for game vs Red Deer on Friday Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Colton Jobke hasn’t played much hockey over the last month. Between a knee injury and a seven-game suspension, the Kelowna Rockets defenceman has appeared in just one of his club’s last 14 games dating back to Jan. 22. It should come as no surprise then that Jobke is excited to be back in the lineup Friday night when the Rockets visit the Red Deer Rebels. “To sit there for two weeks being healthy and not being able to play was frustrating, but I just tried to stay positive through it all,” said Jobke, 18, who has finished serving a seven-game suspension for a blindside hit on Chilliwack’s Tim

Traber on Feb. 11 at Prospera Place. “It goes without saying I’m really excited to be back. I’m happy to be able to eat up some minutes and help the guys out back there.” Even without Jobke and the injured Mitchell Chapman (head) for the past several games, Rockets head coach Ryan Huska said the club’s remaining fiveman blue line corps has been doing an Centrium admirable job. “It’ll be nice to have a body back in Colton,” said 7 p.m. Huska. “But one Feb. 25 thing being short on D has done is

allowed other guys to step up and take on bigger role. Guys like MacKenzie Johnston and Damon Severson have played a lot and have really done a good job.” A solid defensive effort was largely responsible for the Rockets 3-2 shootout win over the Medicine Hat Tigers on Wednesday night. Colton Sissons’ marker in the seventh round of the shootout was the winner as Kelowna made amends for a 4-2 loss a night earlier in Kootenay. Another key in Medicine Hat was limiting the Tigers’ ability to play their high-tempo style of game. “Our effort was very good, we did a good job on our forecheck and with pressuring their defense,” said Huska. “We stuck with it for the

whole 60 minutes and it paid off.” In Red Deer Friday, Huska said the Rockets will face a similar opponent to the Tigers. Led by offensive star Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and goaltender Darcy Kuemper, the Rebels are another of the Eastern Conference’s elite teams with 42 victories. “We’ll need to play exactly the same way in Red Deer than we did in Medicine Hat,” said Huska. “(The Rebels) are a very good team with Nugent-Hopkins and probably the best goalie in the league. We’ll need to get lots of pucks on him and pressure their defense.” The Rockets will close out their four-game eastern road trip Saturday night in Calgary against the Hitmen. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Zanatta has been appointed the new head coach of the UBC Okanagan Heat men’s soccer squad as well as a new technical director for Kelowna United.

Zanatta’s roles with the BCSA included involvement with the provincial team program, player and coach development programs and for the past two years as Manager of District Development Centres and Grassroots Programs in the province.

His resume includes a successful playing career and head coaching stints with Victoria United FC of the Pacific Coast Soccer League (PCSL), and the Gorge, a Division 1 men’s team in the Vancouver Island Soccer League where he guided the club to a national final in 2002. “I am really looking forward to the challenge of coaching in the BCCAA, and building a strong and

The Kelowna Crows’ spring schedule continues this weekend as the men’s first and second division teams travel to Seattle for senior men’s rugby action. The Kelowna squads are hoping to build on a pair of wins last weekend over the Surrey Beavers. The Div. 1 Crows evened their spring mark at 1-1 with a 30-10 victory on Saturday in Surrey. Crows forwards had a solid performance, not only rucking and mauling effectively but also scor-

ing three of the five tries. It took some time for the Crows first team’s offense to get rolling, as the half time score was 8-0, the points coming from a penalty kick by fly-half Barak Pauls and unconverted try by Chris Hill. The turning point in the game came when the Crows held Surrey on a five to 10 minute goal-line stand to close out the half. In the second half the Crows superior fitness began to show as the backs began to have a series of penetrating runs put-

ting the team in high quality field positions. Jacob Illichman led the scoring with a pair of tries, while Ryan Sousa and Ricky Schouten were also able to contribute a try apiece. Players of the game in the first division were awarded to Jacob Illichman in the forwards and Daniel Blasco in the backs for his great runs. The second’s game was a challenge as the Crows (2-0) were short a few players. Still, Kelowna scored a 28-15 vic-

Del Junco makes his harmonica bend to the feeling Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

It’s like playing the white keys on the piano, Carlos del Junco says of his harmonica. Sometimes it sounds like a trumpet. Sometimes it sounds like a violin. With his diatonic, or single-tone, harmonica in hand, del Junco says he simply adjusts his embouchure to bend and over-bend the notes available to add the sharps and flats that lift and drop his music through different emotions as the dark keys on a keyboard would. “The instrument has a stigma that it’s not a really serious instrument,” he said, noting he blames the Bob Dylans and Neil Youngs for the tarnish. “People associate the harmonica with those

guys sitting there with one of those little neck braces…(and) they really aren’t beginning to show what the instrument is capable of.” Now 52 years old, del Junco is an experimental blues player with a unique style which leaves him more than up to the task. Mixing the blues backbone of his music with sophisticated jazz influences he’s developed a world renown sound that’s won him plenty of international praise. “I’m trying to marry the sort of gut-bucket raw quality of a lot of blues styles with the more sensitive tones,” he explained. “The instrument is capable of all these different textures and colours…and it can be very eclectic stylistically.” Spelling this out to the

CARLOS DEL JUNCO is at the Mary Irwin Theatre on March 12 average listener is complicated and at first he’s a little reticent to do so—even in an interview. The long and the short of it, he says, is that the instrument is traditionally only played in one key, but he’s learned a technique to blow the trad-

itional boundaries wide open. He likes to give his audience a taste of what’s happening while on stage, he said, noting he explains a little of this musical background as he plays. Del Junco has been playing since his teens, tours

CONTRIBUTED

Central Europe annually and has had the opportunity to learn from the masters. He counts jazz virtuoso Howard Levy among his teachers, but says there was a significant amount of learning he had to do by ear, really listening to the

music. “It’s always the thing that attracts me most playing any song—really listening to the melody and the rhythm rather than the lyrical content. “The way I hear music is through the feeling— whether it’s a good feeling or a sad feeling,” he said. As a one-time visual artist who has always worked in creative ventures, del Junco also has an eye for the quirky, unique elements of any art form that will catch people’s interest. Following this wellhoned gut instinct, he doesn’t really worry about genres or themes or market labels when it comes time to make an album. Each time he issues a new release, his listeners get a slice of his own listening predilections. “I like to take my favourite songs

from different genres and put them all on one disc,” he said. The smorgasbord style has served him well. His latest effort, Mongrel Mash, is being marketed as a “collection of the old, new, borrowed and blue.” In 2010, Steady Movin’ was nominated for a Juno—his second nomination. Born in Cuba, del Junco immigrated with his family at the age of one and grew up in Toronto. He has been named Harmonica Player of the Year seven time in the Maple Blues Awards 14-year history and also won two gold medals at the Hohner World Harmonica Championships in Germany. Carlos del Junco plays the Mary Irwin Theatre on March 12. Tickets are available through www. selectyourtickets.com jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

For $7 (proceeds to charity), you get to watch the ceremony on the big screen and enjoy the social atmosphere and some appies as well. Contact the Paramount for more details. ••• Are the Farrelly brothers ready for a comeback? The creators of rsuch classics as Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin and rThere’s Something About Mary have fallen on hard rtimes—their last movie being The Heartbreak Kid four years ago grossing only $40 million in North America (however it over doubled that internationally). And other filmmakers like Judd Apatow have taken over the crude and outrageous comedy genre that the Farrellys had cornered in the late ’90s. This weekend, we get to see if they can still make us laugh.

But when the two men begin to show signs of restlessness at home, their wives take a bold approach to revitalize their marriages

Rick Davis by granting them a “hall pass”—one week of freedom to do whatever they want with no questions asked. To the men, it seems like a dream come true, but they soon find out that their expectations are out of sync with reality. Hall Pass also stars Christina Applegate and Jenna Fischer (The Office) and is rated 14A with a warning of sexually suggestive scenes, nudity and coarse language. Watching the trailer for Drive Angry, I get the feeling that the producers wanted to give it the feel of a cheesy drive-in classic with over-the-top violence, almost like what Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez did for exploitation movies with Grindhouse a few years back. Nicolas Cage (in a similar role to Ghost Rider) plays a vengeful man who breaks out of Hell to prevent the cult that murdered his daughter from sacrificing his infant granddaughter. Pursuing him is an operative exploitation of Satan who has been sent to bring him back to hell. Drive Angry will provide action fans with eye candy, especially since it was filmed in 3D and it

winery has tons of news to share, piles of great events on the horizon, and wines that continue to thrill. As a salt of the earth brand name insinuates, these wines are honestly good. Proprietor’s Pam and Mick Luckhurst cele-

brate their soil (as they say: “It’s all about the dirt”) and the farming— the heart and soul behind their wines. A tractor and a dog (a wiener dog no less) on the label send the clear message of the hard work that goes into their wines—glamour-

ous at times, but remember, behind every good wine, there is a darn good farmer. And a good winemaker! New to the team, winemaker J-M Bouchard has joined Road 13. J-M has a wonderful resumé with impressive inter-

national experience and will be taking the reins from the celebrated Michael Bartier who will soon be launching his own wines. Now like any good farmhouse, hospitality is very important and at Road 13 they roll out

Only 10 Lexus LFA coming to Canada, but they’re all spoken for Lorne Drury CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

THESE HAND-ASSEMBLED Lexus LFA sports coupes will be built at the rate of 20 per month with a total run of 500. Talk about exclusive, only 10 of these supercars will be coming to Canada, and they are all spoken for.

Lexus finally has its halo vehicle with the introduction of the limited edition 2012 LFA “supercar” that started rolling out of the factory in Japan last December. Only 500 of these limited edition, hand-assembled two-seat sports coupes will be sold worldwide over the two years, and when they’re gone, they’re gone. A total of 20 cars a month will leave the factory until the 500 are completed. In fact, even if you have (US)$375,000 kicking around to spend on

your next set of wheels, you’re out of luck in Canada. Our allotment is 10 cars and they are all spoken for. Meanwhile, 150 are slated for sale south of the border and I’m told there may still be a very few available if you act quickly. According to Lexus Canada director Larry Hutchinson, the LFA creates “a new level of emotion to the (Lexus) performance lineup.” He said the LFA program was started from scratch 10 years ago and the designers and engineers were essentially given See Lexus B10

DEL MAR, CA.: It was winter in California. Sort of. The sun was shining, my driver’s side window was down and the air was fragrant with pine, chaparral and sagebrush. And in one of those coincidences of perfect synchronicity, when all is right with the world, Sheryl Crow just happened to be singing Every Day is a Winding Road as I slalomed the bends of the Del Dios Highway in my new Nissan Quest, through the hairpins and sweepers of the Laguna Mountains, heading west toward the Pacific coast. Whoa, wait a minute; back up, you might say. A Nissan Quest? OK, maybe I lost you at that point but yes; I was minivanning in the mountains, exploring the capabilities of the 2011 Quest, a totally redesigned family vehicle that will be appearing in Canadian dealerships by the end of January 2011. Now, your first question might be “why bother?” Isn’t the minivan dead? After all, Quest sales have been in the dumper over the last few years and Nissan didn’t even offer their minivan model for 2010. But no, rumours of the minivan’s death have been greatly exaggerated. The segment is still large enough to warrant attention, especially in Canada where we seem to be less insecure about the whole soccer mom image thingy. Sure, some families have outgrown minivans or moved on to the subtly disguised GM and Ford crossovers that have taken their place. But Chrysler is carrySee Nissan B3

Minivans remain smartest, most practical choice for family duties Nissan from B2 ing on with their bread & butter Grand Caravan and new versions of the Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey have helped reinvigorate the minivan market. And, staid and stodgy as they may sometime seem, minivans remain the smartest, most practical choice for family duties, offering room tand utility without all the macho hype and overpriced markups of SUV substitutes. “The all-new Nissan Quest ‘gets’ parenting,” said Mark McDade, Director, Marketing, Nissan Canada. “While minitvans remain one of the most maligned symbols of adulthood, where some see them as a surrendering of youth and fun, Nissan sees the minivan as a celebration of family life ≠ not only for moms on weekdays, but for fun times with the entire family on weekends.” t The new 2011 Nissan Quest’s “innovative functionality” builds on Nissan’s D-platform, shared with Maxima, Murano and Altima. The new Quest is actually slightly smaller than its predecessor but it still offers a roomy enough interior along with a notice-

ably tighter turning circle and better maneuverability. Nissan cites “fluid sculptural elements” in the new exterior design, a marked departure from the low snouted “dachshund” look of the old Quest, more bulldogchinned up front with the lower jutting bumper. A higher front cowl line and squared-off rear combine for a “boxier” package but the strong character lines and the converging laser-straight edges of the beltline and roofline, the windows highlighted in chrome, accent the Quest’s sleek lines, low co-efficient of drag and handsome, striking profile. I like it best in black, complimented by the full surround privacy glass, blacked-out pillars and elegant chrome touches. This is about as classy as a minivan can get. Exterior finishing touches include a rear roof spoiler, 350Z-influenced boomerang-style tail lamps, available fog lights and optional Dual Opening Glass moon roofs above the first and second rows. The Quest starts as a seven-passenger vehicle with a roomy and comSee Nissan B4

Nissan has opted for a more conservative, classier decor Nissan from B3

Fuel economy ratings are yet to be determined. The 2011 Quest is offered in four trim levels S, SV, SL and LE. The Quest S comes in starter kit with 16-inch steel wheels; six-way adjustable front bucket seats, the fold-flat second and third row seats with permanent rear storage well; first and second row centre consoles; Nissan Intelligent Key with Push Button Ignition; and an AM/FM/6CD audio system with four speakers. The Quest SV adds one-touch power sliding doors; 16-inch aluminumalloy wheels; Tri-Zone Auto Temperature Control; power driver’s seat lumbar adjustment; fog lights; conversation mirror. The Quest SL bumps content up with leather on the seats, steering wheel, shifter and door trim; 18inch alloy wheels; power liftgate; eight-way power driver’s seat; heated front seats; HomeLink; autodimming inside mirror with compass; roof rails;

fortable cabin. Nissan has dropped the wonky and distracting interior styling of a predecessor that tried too hard to set itself apart for a more conservative, classier decor. Designers chose to work with a simple foldflat system for the second and third row theatre-style seating rather than engineer more elaborate foldinto-the-floor seats. On the plus side, this frees up the rear under floor tub as a permanent storage well for extra cargo. Under the hood, the 2011 Quest is powered by one of Nissan’s awardwinning VQ engines, a 3.5-litre DOHC V6 making 260 hp and 240 lb/ft of torque. There’s no lack of oomph with this engine and power is translated through an advanced Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with Adaptive Shift Control (ASC). Acceleration is smooth and linear.

I’d probably been drawn to it because I’d just driven it, and it was sort of a last chance to check off some of my mental boxes of opinions and impressions. The big pickup stood there on the outer edge of the show, awkward as a wallflower at the dance, a behemoth dwarfing lesser vehicles, somehow physically and philosophically removed from the newsy hullabaloo over hybrids, electric cars and future fantasy concepts. Yet the Silverado HD is a story on its own, a bigger, better truck for 2011 with significant changes, new technologies and with upgrades built in from the ground up. This is the workhorse niche, a niche where need supplants desire, where substance tends to outweigh style and where men in workboots and denim would gather, far away from the media buzz, to pose questions coded in the terminology of towing. Asking about things like gross vehicle weight ratings, tow/haul modes, exhaust braking, tow ratings, fifth-wheel availability and payload capacities. It may seem a narrow niche at first but it offers a myriad of model choices from 2500 to 3500 weight classes, with Regular Cab, Extended Cab or Crew Cab configurations, 2WD or 4X4 drive options, 6’6” or 8’ pickup boxes, dieselor gasoline-powered engines and three trim levels expanded by option packages. Yeah, lots of choices. I stepped over the frame rail of an open chassis display, stood there in the skeletal centre of the truck’s steel grid platform and marvelled again at just how damned big the thing was, with a body length that would stretch to 6581mm at its longest, or about 21.5 feet. That chassis, the start of all good things, now features a more rigid, fully-boxed frame, predrilled for fifth-wheel application with a reinforced rear suspension, stronger front independent suspension, bigger ABS disk brakes, and mounting a

slew of dynamic technologies that include Hill Start Assist, Stabilitrak with trailer sway control, auto grade braking and integrated trailer brake control. Up front, it offers a choice of two very different V8 engines. The standard and venerable Vortec 6.0-litre gasoline-powered V-8 makes 360 hp at 5400 rpm and 380 lb/ft of torque at 4200 rpm and is hooked up to a strengthened Hydra-Matic 6L90 six-speed automatic transmission. My 2500HD tester harnessed the optional new Duramax 6.6-litre turbo diesel-powered V8 ($9,670) rated at 397 hp at 3000 rpm with an astonishing 765 lb/ft of torque available at a low 1600 rpm. The six-speed Allison automatic transmission is not far removed from medium-duty commercial truck applications and features a tow/haul mode and exhaust braking shift pattern. The combination of sheer power and strengthened poise unites to make an impressive list of performance improvements. Compared to last year’s 2010 Silverado HD, they include: • 500 per cent increase in frame torsional rigidity • 125 per cent increase in front frame stiffness • 23 per cent higher ballhitch trailer weight capacity • 21 per cent higher fifthwheel trailer weight capacity • 21 per cent higher payload • 12 per cent more power • 16 per cent more torque. My tester was a good case in point, being specifically, a CK20743 2500HD 4WD Crew Cab model with a 153.7” wheelbase and 6’6” box in top-of-the-line LTZ trim. With the 6.6-litre diesel, it offers a 4536 kg (10,000 lb) GVWR, and a maximum payload rating of 1266 kg (2792 lb). Hauling grunt is translated via a 3.73 axle ratio that will tow up to 5897 kg (13,000 lb) with a ball-hitch or 7893 kg (17,400 lb) with the fifth-wheel system. The diesel engine is

pretty impressive. Glow plug ignition is rated to be ready within three seconds at -30 degrees C and, although my February conditions were nowhere near some of my northern Canada experiences, the 6.6-litre started handily, coming standard with a block heater, an idle-fast cab heat-up feature and a winter cover for the grille and bumper openings. That cover, by the way, gives the truck an unintentionally cool custom flavour, covering the Chevy bow tie and leading to questions of “What the heck is that thing?” Heavy-duty trucks don’t normally come with fuel economy ratings. Most of the emphasis is on hauling power and towing abilities. But I expect truck drivers feel the fuel pump pinch as much as the rest of us, especially at a nickel to a dime more per litre for diesel, so I came up with my own set of numbers. Chevy engineers boast an 11 per cent fuel efficiency improvement and estimate a range of up to 1090 km per 136-litre tank, which means their best-case scenario is an optimistic 12.5L/100km. On my first test, driving a reserved 50/50 city/ hwy split, I averaged 15.5L/100km. Then I refilled and put some hard city miles on the truck, driving it like I’d stolen it, which left a lot of sports car owners stunned at the stoplight line, courtesy of the diesel’s massive 765 lb/ft of torque. I got about 20L/100km playing the

bad boy, not bad enough compared to pickups of the past. Finally, my wife and I topped up with takeout coffee and diesel fuel and took to the highway. Keeping in mind that the only thing we were hauling was us, the engine spun at a sedate 1500 rpm at 100 kph, and we used 39 litres over 330 km for a very user-friendly 11.8L/100km, better than GM’s prediction. Although most of the modifications for 2011 are under the skin, the Silverado HD has made a few cosmetic changes with a redesigned front grille and bumper, a new power dome hood with badged louvres and bigger available wheels. The interior is mostly carried over and remains surprisingly subdued, sleekly buttoned and demure, without the Ford flair or the macho swagger and posing of the Ram HD. But trimmed in topof-the-line leather and luxuries, the Silverado HD LTZ was loaded with enough options to boost the price into the $70K range and bump this vehicle into the boss’s truck category. Expect further interior and exterior styling changes in a few years. So how do we sum up this truck? GM Canada refers to it simply as “the even heavier-duty 2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD”. It’s still more about function than form in this category. And with a long list of technological and perSee Chevrolet B9

road since their numbers are so limited, but visitors to auto shows across Canada this year will be able to get a glimpse of one of the LFA prototypes. I was recently among a handful of Canadian auto journalists who had a chance to get up close and personal with the car that will be on display at the shows. Unfortunately, that glimpse didn’t include a driving component but it did give us a chance to see what those 10 lucky (and rich) Canadians went through in ordering their ‘personalized’ vehicles. In fact, I had a chance to design my own car (of course it had to be red, the only colour I’d consider for a sports car). My interior had black leather with red inserts and a red steering wheel. Alas, I will never get to see my creation in the flesh (or the carbon fibre plastic that makes up most of the body panels for the LFA). However, I did get to print off a copy of what it might look like thanks to a computer rendering of the only LFA I will likely ever own. So why would Lexus create the LFA? Well, according to Lexus officials, the brand

LEXUS GUESTS (that’s how they refer to their customers) were able to personalize their LFA with the help of a kit like this that included leather upholstery swatches, thread samples and exterior colour swatches. is now two decades old and the LFA gives the Lexus guest (they are called guests, not customers) the ultimate of “personalized luxury” in the F line of performance Lexus cars.

One of the goals of the LFA was to “push the performance envelope,” said Glenn Alkema, a product specialist with the Lexus Academy. See Lexus B11

Much of the technology and engineering that went into the LFA will eventually work its way into other vehicles in the Lexus lineup. Originally, the body of the LFA was going to be almost all aluminum, but in mid-stream a decision was made to use carbon fibre plastic instead, cutting the weight by 136 kg (300 lb). In fact, many decisions about the LFA were made with the goal of reducing weight and the end result is a sports coupe that weighs in at 1,480 kg (3,256 lb). Even the steering column tilt/telescoping feature is manual to cut

down on weight and the 12-channel, 12-speaker Mark Levinson sound system is 37 per cent lighter and 35 per cent smaller than normal. Power comes from a lightweight 4.8-litre V10 engine developed in conjunction with Yamaha that makes 552 hp and 354 lb/ ft of torque. About 90 per cent of its peak torque comes between 3,700 rpm and the 9,000 rpm redline. Each engine bears a signature of the engineer who built it. The engine propels the LFA from 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds. Top speed is 325 km/h. If 552 hp is not enough See Lexus B12

THE INTERIOR of the LFA can be personalized to the purchaser’s tastes, with several colour choices for the leather upholstery, stitching and steering wheel.

for you, another $75,000 gets the Nurburgring edition, which features 10 more hp, a different suspension and a few other tweaks. One of the 10 LFAs coming to Canada is a Nurburgring edition, among the 50 available worldwide. Mated with the V10 engine is a six-speed ASG transmission (with steering wheel mounted paddle shifters). There are four driving modes ranging from normal to sport. The LFA is designed to be a driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car and lots of track time at Nurburgring was devoted to making it just right. Frontto-rear weight distribution is an almost perfect 48:52 thanks to the short, wide and low body style. Dry sump lubrication rather than an oil pan helps with the low centre of gravity, while the oil and water pumps are located behind the engine. The driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat is positioned near the LFAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centre of gravity, allowing for maximum car-to-driver feedback, particularly in high performance driving conditions. Getting the engine right was important, but so was the sound it emitted. Working again with Yamaha, the exhaust was tuned to produce just the right note. So what makes the LFA so special? For many buyers, it will be the fact that they own a supercar that has

been personalized to their own individual taste. It may be a one-of-a-kind vehicle, unlike competing supercars that are not nearly as personalized. Lexus Canada head office personnel selected the 10 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;guestsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chosen to purchase an LFA (there is a waiting list, they say) after a pre-qualification process. The future owners were then shown a suitcase full of samples, including upholstery swatches, exterior colours, wheel and brake choices along with different thread colours used in upholstery stitching. From there, the buyers access a computer program, which allows them to configure the vehicle to their own personal tastes. As I said, mine would be red outside with black and red leather interior with a red steering wheel. My time with the LFA ended almost as quickly as it began. At least I got to sit behind the wheel (does that count as seat time?) and I have my computer-generated picture as a memory. Oh, to be one of the 10 chosen ones!

TOMIC, DRAGAN PETER

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our father Peter on December 15, 2010. He is survived by his beloved daughter Christine, son, Brian (Paula) and grandchildren Lauren & Isaac. Peter established a life in Kelowna with his family in 1968 and mainly worked at Magraths Auto Supply and for the Liquor Control Board until his retirement. He took great pride and value in everything he did from supporting his children, being a member of the Elks, his Serbian community, being with friends and loved ones, swimming, ﬁshing, home cooking and his strong passion for dancing and gardening. He sparked the lives of many people with his charming nature and keen wit and will be deeply missed and always remembered in our hearts. No service was held by request.

In Memoriam

Although the year has passed quickly, our love and memories of our dear mother, grandma, and friend remain strong, joy comes in knowing we will meet again... From Family and Friends of Molly Glass...

In ever loving memory of

Dorothy Maria Silgram Who went to her Lord and Saviour Feb. 25, 2010. Always in our Hearts and Prayers.

In loving memory of

STEPHEN MICHAEL SULZ

July 6,1966-February 25, 2005 We are connected, my child and I, by an invisible cord not seen by the eye. It’s not like the cord that connected us ‘till birth, this cord can’t be seen by anyone on earth. This cord does its work, right from the start, it bonds us together, attached at the heart. I know that it’s there though no one can see, the invisible cord, from my child to me. The strength of this cord, it’s hard to describe, it can’t be destroyed, it can’t be denied. It’s stronger than any cord man could create, it withstands the tests, can hold any weight. And though you are gone, not here with me, the cord is still there, but no one can see. It pulls at my heart, I am bruised… I am sore, but this cord is my lifeline, as never before. I am thankful that God connected this way, a mother and a child, death can’t take it away!

Miss you… Mom

Until there's a cure, there's us.

He was an avid skier and outdoorsman and enjoyed sharing the beauty of nature with everyone. He began a teaching career in Prince George where he taught for ten years, followed by twenty years at Kelowna Secondary School. Throughout his career he shared his love of woodworking and carpentry with thousands of students. Equally passionate about his racquetball and dance clubs, Gordie touched the lives of many and will be not be forgotten.

JAMES ALLEN MARTIN

Born in Regina, SK on September 8, 1941, passed away peacefully at home on February 22, 2011, in Westbank, BC, surrounded by family after a long and courageous battle with cancer. He will be dearly missed by his loving and devoted wife, Marie and their children Tracy (Mike) and Troy. He inspired and supported us to achieve our dreams. Our successes are a result of his unwavering belief that we could accomplish whatever we worked hard for. He is survived by his sister Anne and brother Bert (Sandi). Jim worked with the Regina Public School Board for 33 years as a teacher and a principal. He found great pleasure and challenge in education as he touched the lives of his students. Following his retirement and relocation to the Okanagan, he enjoyed wood working and landscaping and yearly winter escapes to California and Arizona and was for years an active partner in a Caribou District placer-gold mining operation. The family would like to extend grateful thanks to the exemplary team at the Kelowna Cancer Clinic; doctors Khoo and Petrik and all of the individuals who were involved in his treatment and care over the last 4 years. The family would like to extend an extra special thank you to ‘his guardian angel’, Sherrill. Additional thanks and gratitude is extended to the Central Okanagan Community Care Team and the Palliative Response Team, without their amazing support, it would have been impossible to provide Jim with the necessary care to fulﬁll his wish of remaining in his home. Please know that you are all very special people and we are eternally grateful. It was Jim’s wish not to have a service, and in lieu of ﬂowers, he requested that donations be made in his memory to a charity that is special to you. Messages of condolences may be sent to: hansonswb@shaw.ca.
