School district staring at deficit Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER

Before getting to a line-by-line dissection of the doccuent, the Central Okanagan School District is predicting a $4.7 million shortfall in its budget for the 2010/2011 year. Superintendent of schools Hugh Gloster said the district faces many cost pressures, noting some funds allocated by the Ministry of Education are targeted for specific programs like special education. While useful in their specific areas, he pointed out those funds are not transferable to help alleviate deficits elsewhere. Gloster said increased teacher costs and rising health and dental plan fees are also a pressure. Teacher costs for Grades 1 to 12 rose by $2.8 million. He pointed out utility costs have also increased. The district pays out for carbon offsets, as well as the tool they are mandated to use to measure its carbon output. Provincial delivery of funds has also affected the district. Gloster said in the past, up-front funding received from the province allowed the district to invest and create income. The loss of investment income lopped $300,000 from the budget. He noted the shortfall is eased slightly by more than $500,000 in reserves

from last year’s budget. “If we did not have this money to roll in, (the deficit) would be closer to $5.2 million.” Gloster said a $112 million increase in the provincial education budget for 2010/2011 made school district officials cautiously optimistic. He noted the increase covers $54 million to offset the expense of a wage increase for teachers in the final year of a collective agreement. The remaining $58 million covers the first year of full-day kindergarten. Gloster pointed to an increase in per pupil funding from $5,851 to $6,740 as a move that looks significant on paper but has little effect at the district level. “It does not really represent a significant increase for us.” He noted the effect on the district is an increase of just under $3 million for the year. Additional funds granted to school districts with declining enrolment are not available. “We are a district going through no significant declines in enrolment.” Gloster said his officials will make detailed recommendations on the budget April 14, with a goal of completing it by the end of April. msimmons@kelownacapnews.com

Long-range transit planning needs input Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

BC Transit wants to improve the local bus system and is asking for public input. On April 9, BC Transit representatives will be in Kelowna one last time before wrapping up the first phase of a year-long project to draft Kelowna’s transit master plan. The document will

determine the future direction of public transportation in the Central Okanagan. “It’s not about immediate fixes that you would see in this coming year. It’s really more about paving the way and identifying how routes will be interconnected and how transit will grow in Kelowna,” said Joanna Morton, BC Transit media relations.

Morton said the plans are not just for transit customers but for residents in the Okanagan who may not be riding the bus as well. “We need to find out, number one, what do you think of transit right now and what can we do in the future to get you on transit?” she said. The push behind the plan is to get more people on transit to build a more

sustainable community, but Morton admits that isn’t necessarily limited to buses. “At this point everything is very preliminary, so really everything is on the table. It’s really about identifying how does transit work for you right now and what can we do to make things better.” Members of the public are encouraged to share their thoughts with BC

Boxing legend delivers Cops nab driver, drugs on Knox anti-drug message ▼ POLICE

Jason Luciw STAFF REPORTER

Both parents and their students in the Central Okanagan have a rare opportunity to hear Canadian boxing legend and Canada’s Walk of Fame inductee George Chuvalo share his powerful antidrug message. Canada’s undefeated heavyweight champion speaks to students Friday at noon at Mount Boucherie Secondary School, Saturday at 5 p.m. at the Peachland Community Centre ($20 per ticket), prior to a boxing event, and Sunday at 1 p.m. at Kelowna’s Parkinson Rec Centre (admission by donation). Mount Boucherie principal John Simonson said he jumped at the chance for his students to hear Chuvalo’s powerful anti-drug message. “This is not something we were planning in September. It is a unique opportunity to piggyback on someone who’s already coming,” said Simonson. “Our students are excited about the opportunity to have a high-powered speaker come in, who I think is going to be very credible and share a very real story that is going to be impactful.” Chuvalo is being brought to the Central Okanagan by Peachland

Hit and run car sought

Boxing Club coach John Wardley. The boxing coach said local youths would benefit greatly from hearing Chuvalo speak about the negative effects of substance use and abuse. “I’ve seen what this guy can do. And I’ve also seen detox, when we’re not able to catch some of these youths what happens to them. They come in as shells.” During his 23-year boxing career Chuvalo was a sports celebrity, appearing in Sports Illustrated several times and going toe to toe with boxing greats such as Muhammad Ali in 1966 and 1972, Joe Frazier in 1967 and George Foreman in 1970. Chuvalo retired with a record of 73-wins, 18 losses and two draws having never been knocked down in a fight. However, by the 1980s Chuvalo’s personal life was steeped in tragedy, according to CBC’s digital archives. “By the mid-’80s, three of George’s four sons were heroin addicts and regulars of Toronto’s hardcore drug scene,” the CBC said. “They turned to crime to support their habit while their father chased after them around the city.” George’s son Jesse shot himself in 1985 because he couldn’t cope with the effects of his drug

addiction. In 1993, another of Chuvalo’s sons, George Lee, was found dead from an overdose, the report stated. “George Lee, just days after being released from prison, is found dead in a seedy Toronto hotel with a needle sticking in his arm.” Just 48 hours after George Lee’s death, Chuvalo’s wife Lynn overdosed on pills because she couldn’t bear the pain of yet another son’s death. In 1994, Chuvalo’s son Steven also died of an overdose. Canada’s Walk of Fame website said that Chuvalo has toured Canada and the U.S. since 1995, making over 1,000 anti-drug speeches to youth. “In 1998, Chuvalo proudly received the order of Canada for this work,” noted the Walk of Fame. Incidentally, the District of West Kelowna agreed this week to contribute up to $2,500 to cover some of the costs of bringing Chuvalo to Mount Boucherie Secondary. Coun. Gord Milsom said it would be money well spent. “I feel that if George Chuvalo, through his presentation, can stop just one student from being addicted to drugs, it’s worth the money we put into it,” said Milsom.

Knox Mountain Drive has recently opened, but signs of spring in the area do not typically include two men driving a Jaguar while appearing to be high on drugs. RCMP Const. Steve Holmes said police received information from an anonymous caller at 9:26 a.m. on March 24. The caller told police that two men were “hanging out” of a green Jaguar sedan and acting as though they were high on drugs. Holmes said the car was spotted in the Knox Mountain area. He said the caller indicated the car was making random stops in the middle of the road as it travelled down the hill out of Knox Mountain Park. Police stopped the car as it approached the park gate and noticed the driver showed signs of drug impairment. “The driver, a 42-yearold Kelowna resident and owner of the vehicle, was detained for driving while impaired by a drug,” said Holmes. “A baggie of crack cocaine was seen in plain view inside the vehicle and was seized, as was drug paraphernalia.” Holmes said the 37-year-old passenger was arrested for possession of a controlled substance. Both men were taken to the RCMP de-

Making tOhuetdoors City Hall abuzz about bees Spring ▼ DAY OF HONEYBEE

Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

There will be no bumbling around when it comes time to pollinating this spring. Kelowna Mayor Sharon Shepherd has decided honey bees will soon hold a special place of esteem in Kelowna’s heart. This year, when the Mayor’s Environmental Expo is held, it will also be used to celebrate the city’s new Day of the Honeybee, as proclaimed

by the mayor. International Day of the Honeybee began in 2009 and is celebrated May 29, the day after the expo. Coun. Michele Rule said the buzz about our bees came to the attention of the Central Okanagan Healthy Food Council after she heard about the movement on Facebook. “Honey bees are our hardest working bees,” she said, noting they’re critical for food production and to maintain the flowers that

support biodiversity in our ecosystem. Honey bees are our domestic bees and they are dying at “alarming” rates in every country where they are,” according to Shane Ekdahl, who started the Facebook site in their honour. There is no clear answer as to why bee populations are dying off, although disease and climate change are listed among the suspect causes.

Judge allows wiretaps Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER

A judge’s acceptance of intercepted phone calls as evidence has set the stage for a trial involving the trafficking of kilograms of cocaine from a local marina. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Geoffrey Barrow ruled on Wednesday that phone calls recorded by police would be admitted as evidence. Investigators recorded 274 calls over several months in an investigation of alleged drug trafficking from the downtown Kelowna Marina. In 2007, police alleged that a group of experienced traffickers distributed multiple kilograms of cocaine per week, using the business as a base of operations. As a result of the intercepted calls, police conducted a number of searches. Barrow noted that declaring the wiretap evidence unusable would essentially mean the searches could be considered done without a warrant. Barrow said he was unable to characterize police conduct in the case as flagrant or disregarding the Charter rights of the accused. Barrow noted the Crown’s case hinged on the acceptance of the intercepted calls as admissible evidence. “Without that evidence, the Crown effectively has no case.” He said he was troubled by the lack of evidentiary foundation in the Crown’s case, but noted

that he did accept the evidence was reliable. “I am satisfied that there is no basis to conclude that the evidence is unreliable.” The trial will proceed March 29. Kelowna residents Jason Herrick and Thomas Fraser are charged along with Vancouver

“Tabata Training and Its Effect on Fat Loss” A study was then done at Physical Activities Sciences Laboratory, Laval University, Quebec, Canada and challenged the common belief among health professionals that low-intensity, long-duration exercise is the best program for fat loss. They compared the impact of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise and high-intensity aerobics on fat loss. The bottom line was that the low intensity group burned more calories during their workouts, almost twice as many. But the high intensity group got 9 times more fat loss beneﬁt for every calorie burned while exercising. How did this happen? Compared to moderate-intensity endurance exercise, high-intensity intermittent exercise causes more calories and fat to be burned following the workout.

It’s hard to grab the public’s attention when it comes to water

hat is it about water that automatically renders it the ugly sister of virtually every environmental problem going? Unlike climate change, the oil crisis, the scourge of forest fires, pine beetle or acid rain (remember acid rain?), it’s hard to get anyone’s head around the idea that

flushing our toilets with drinking water and pouring the spaghetti pot leftovers down the sink. There’s a new Ipsos Reid poll which shows us just how bad Canadians have gotten on this front. In a study commissioned by RBC and Unilever and endorsed by the Canadian Partnership Initiative of the United Nations Water for Life Decade, some 83 per cent of Canadians reported they are concerned about water conservation. And yet: • 46 per cent of us leave the water running while we brush our teeth • 44 per cent of us leave the water on to wash the dishes • 19 per cent of us hose down our driveways • One per cent of us even use the hose to melt snow in the spring (the definition of insanity). This week when Bob Sandford visited UBCO he pointed out this study and, of course, some chip-

per student put up her hand and asked why the media consistently fail to report on water, but will use reams of paper product on climate change. I hate these kinds of questions from students, largely because they’re the very antithesis of what you’re supposed to be doing in university—developing critical thinking skills. I can remember the days when I too was brainwashed into asking the “yes, but is this not the fault of the rightwing, money-grubbing types in media who don’t report on this because it’s not sensational enough?” query. It’s a sure-fire way to win points with professors because it negates actually having to think about the issue, learn and find facts for an argument. And now that I’ve worked on this side of the fence, I can honestly tell you, there are academ-

INITIATIVE PETITION KNOW THE RULES

If you plan to participate in the initiative campaign, it’s important that you know the rules. Q

The Recall and Initiative Act allows registered voters to propose new laws or changes to existing laws.

On Tuesday, April 6, 2010, petition sheets for the initiative to end the harmonized sales tax (HST) will be issued to the proponent, William Vander Zalm.

The proponent has 90 days to collect signatures from at least 10% of the registered voters in each of the province’s 85 electoral districts. The petition must be returned to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, July 5, 2010.

To sign an initiative petition, a person must be a registered voter on April 6, 2010 and must only sign the petition for the electoral district in which they are currently registered.

An individual may only sign an initiative petition once.

Only registered canvassers may collect signatures.

Initiative advertising may only be conducted by the proponent or a registered advertising sponsor.

ics who haven’t the foggiest idea what is and is not reported in the news, or why, and so it’s guaranteed they’ll agree with your defence. But the fact is we in the media spend a lot of ink on water. In fact, here in Kelowna all of the media in town probably dedicate more inches of newsprint and minutes of airtime on water than to climate change, peak oil and soil conservation combined. But I seriously doubt that if the Ipsos Reid study were on the front page of our paper with a headline so large it virtually obliterated the sun (thereby saving us from at least one other environmental disaster), most wouldn’t read it or register its existence. For some reason, murder sticks in our brains and fires never fail to catch our attention. But start talking about us dying of thirst and, well, the article is pretty much awash. Sandford knows this. He pointed out that the Ipsos Reid study that was referenced was written about in no less than 62 Canadian newspapers.

Trust me, there isn’t a public relations or communications pro in town who wouldn’t consider those kinds of numbers a victory. World Water Day, at which Sandford was the speaker, has been on the front page of this newspaper every year since the university started holding celebrations to mark its existence, to the best of my recollection. The City of Kelowna works very hard at curbing our consumption, as does the area’s Okanagan Basin Water Board, and many local academics I might add. But even here, in the middle of a desert where many, many professionals have bent over backwards to make water conservation a sexy issue, we’re awash in water-wasting cedar hedges and condos which don’t pay for their consumption. And I hate to point this out, but we also seem to have no problem planting grass on virtually every usable flat surface. You should see the university’s new grounds, for example. Not that anyone’s pointing fingers. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

▼ FUNDING

Orchardists must wait for government assistance Richard rolke CONTRIBUTOR

It may be some time before cash-strapped orchardists find out if government assistance is available. The B.C. Fruit Growers Association has been told by Agriculture Minister Steve Thomson that he is consulting with the provincial bureaucracy to see if a request for $10 million is possible.

“He doesn’t have any solid answers for us but he says he’s taking our issues seriously,” said Joe Sardinha, BCFGA president. “There’s a process he has to go through and it could take four to six weeks.” Thomson is also being asked to file a claim with a provincial/federal insurance program. Sardinha made the requests during a meeting with Thomson March 10

and the association had asked for a response by March 20. Growers have been hit hard by 2009 apple prices being impacted by the high value of the Canadian dollar and foreign competition. The average price for all apple varieties is 13 cents a pound while the cost of production is 22.5 cents. “A lot of growers don’t have any cash to

grow this year’s crop,” said Sardinha, adding the recent warm weather has escalated the work schedule on farms. “We’re two to three weeks ahead of last year and that’s compounding the problem.” Sardinha admits that some orchardists will find it frustrating to wait for the government to consider the funding request. “It’s hard to say be patient but we have to be,”

he said. “That’s the process we must deal with. Noth-

ing happens at the drop of a hat.” Vernon Morningstar

uring the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Canadian athletes inspired millions of people, created a strong sense of togetherness and encouraged us to test our own limits. But the Olympic spirit extends far beyond medals and into the hearts of Canadians. It is this spirit that encourages us to challenge ourselves to be our best, and choose healthy lifestyles. Spring is around the corner and it is the perfect

Norm Letnick time to take advantage of the great weather and start thinking about the adventures that we can have in our own backyard. Best of all, you don’t have to be an Olympian to feel like one. There are countless activities that are free, or close to it, for you and your family to experience here. You can begin with a stroll along Brandt’s Creek in Glenmore to shake off the stiffness of winter. Then try a more challenging hike up Black Mountain near Rutland or explore the newly opened Spion Kop trails not far from Winfield. If you’re feeling confident, you can test your nerve at mountain biking in and around Beaver Lake Mountain Resort, east of Lake Country. After that, tune your focus by playing a round of golf at one of the many golf courses in our constituency or grab your tennis racket and head to Coral Beach Park to tighten your reflexes and reaction time. In the summer, swimming at Wood Lake and playing beach volleyball will build endurance.

Finally, take your fishing rod to the shores of Dee Lake and catch a well deserved feast. This spring and summer, you and your family will benefit greatly from getting outdoors and experiencing the natural bounties of the Okanagan on your own steam. It is especially important for children develop active lifestyles to promote their healthy growth and development. Kids who establish healthy lifestyle patterns at a young age will carry them, and their benefits, forward for the rest of their lives. Being active helps coping with stress and improves self esteem and overall well being in all aspects of their lives. Wellness is about being comfortable with your body, mind and environment. A healthy lifestyle can help provide all three j for us. Exercise makes our hearts pump, builds strong bones and works our muscles. It lowers blood pressure as well as the risk of developing diabetes and heart disease and burns fat. Overall, it increases our longevity so we will have more time to take in all of the Okanagan’s spectacular scenery. And we could all use that! The good news is we don’t have to train like an Olympic athlete to enjoy the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. As you can see, this is an amazing place to live, work and play. Norm Letnick is the Liberal MLA for Kelonwa-Lake Country.

There is Special Government Legislation that allows you to reduce your DEBT by up to 100%

Yoga works well as body manager

have many of my patients ask me what form of exercise is best for them. Different ages and abilities will dictate what is best for you. There is, however, one form of exercise I recommend for most everybody. That is the practice of yoga. It is a chiropractor’s dream come true. Yoga incorporates all things held sacred to chiropractors—strength, symmetry and alignment with an overall sense of well-being. I especially like the fact that it is neither ballistic nor jarring to the body. The movements are intended to be intentional, controlled and with great deliberation. It is one thing to be strong and another to be flexible. But to be strong throughout the full range of motion of all of your joints is most optimal. One aspect I really admire about the practice of yoga is that of centering of the mind and body.

‘‘

TO BE STRONG THROUGHOUT THE FULL RANGE OF MOTION OF ALL OF YOUR JOINTS IS MOST OPTIMAL.

In our society we take precious little time to quiet the mind and to focus our attention through movement. We run here, we run there, usually late for appointments, we sit too long with little attention given to movement. Yoga remedies this nicely. When one looks at the anatomy of our nervous system, it becomes apparent that the great majority of our brain, spinal cord and nerves are hardwired for movement. As humans we should always be moving much like a river, not a stagnant pond. In fact, in our developmental years movement is necessary for learning and I believe it is

ASK DR.THIEL

Markus Thiel so throughout our life. There are essentially five different forms of yoga, with each style having a different focus. Hatha yoga is usually slow paced and is therefore a good introduction to the basics of yoga. If you have not done yoga before this is a good place to start. Another form of yoga is Vinyasa, it tends to be more vigorous and movements are synchronized with breathing. Ashtanga tends to be very physically demanding. It is also known as

power yoga. Iyengar yoga is the practice that is most concerned with body alignment. Its movements are very precise, one in which poses are held over long periods of time. This form of yoga uses props such as blocks or straps in order to bring the body into proper alignment. There is another form called Kundalini. The emphasis is on breath control in conjunction with physical movement. In this practice, the controlling of breath and its relationship to posture is heavily emphasized. This technique uses rapid movements rather than holding poses for a long time. One of the most popular forms of yoga today is that of Bikrum, also

known as hot yoga. This technique is practiced in a room between 35 C and 38 C, which facilitates loosening of tight muscles and cleansing through profuse sweating. As you can see there are many styles to choose from. To be flexible and strong with attention given to centering and proper alignment of posture is truly the embodiment of whole body health. Yoga is a practice that you continue throughout the rest of your life without fear of injury or degenerative changes if done properly. We are meant to move and yoga allows you to move wisely. Markus Thiel is doctor of chiropractic in Kelowna.

Christians celebrate Easter, Moslems and Baha’i celebrate the first day of spring as the beginning of a new year, and our native kin in the north celebrate the breaking of the ice.

He then regarded me with interest. “Jeanne, can you feel yourself to be a caterpillar? What will you be when you become a butterfly? What is the butterfly of Jeanne?” Houston tells us, “Perhaps the most extraordinary thing about Mr. Tayer was the way that he would suddenly stop and look at you with wonder and astonishment— a whimsical regarding of you as the cluttered house that hides the Holy One.” — She would tell her mother, “When I am with him, See Horton A13

Spring sees changes in our world Horton from A12 I leave my littleness behind.” Years later, she realized he was Teillard de Chardin, a Catholic priest, theologian and scientist. This story describes four key experiences that can lead to transformation. We are pulled up short, we wake up to the power of Presence, to a more vivid, intense, deeply interconnected reality, something—falling in love, a creative activity, a mystical experience —causes us to leave our

littleness behind or someone asks us or we ask ourselves. If we run full tilt without observing the terrain, we are likely to take a spill. Yet when we dig in our heels, rigidly standing our ground, we are also setting ourselves up for a fall. All major religious paths agree that transformation cannot occur in our lives unless we let go our hold upon things as they are, or as we think they are. We are challenged to empty ourselves of

thoughts, feelings, and habits that are barriers to changes we need to live a deeper, fuller life. When we have slowed down, we can really look, hear, touch, taste, feel. We experience moments when we live completely in the present —no guilt or shame from the past, no worries for the future. Meditation and centering prayer are ways to deepen our experience of being present. Within us is the Christ archetype—the Buddhanature. It needs nurturing

soil to grow and bloom. Tayer’s deep attention and acceptance, his ability to see the butterfly potentially there in the caterpillar, called awake Jeanne’s potential. Being pulled up short. Being mindfully present. Experiencing self and world as profoundly interwoven. Opening to our potential for a deeper, fuller life. These are universal aspects of the spiritual path. Rev.

lows are uncomfortable and coffee tastes like it has been re-boiled over an uneven flame. It didn’t used to be this way. Well, the washrooms were always small, but the flights used to feel more like a pampered ride rather than a no-frill exercise in frugality. When I asked the flight attendant if there was a meal on our sixhour flight, she explained that there was food available on board, but, she added with a smile, “It’s not free. Nothing is free anymore.” She’s right. Let’s see: a blanket, $5; pillow $2; handy, reusable headset (if you remember it for that specific airline), $3; squished sandwich $6; alcoholic beverages, a steal at $6; pay-per-view movies, another $6; opportunity to sleep sitting up, priceless.

The trouble is, when you pack your own gourmet dinner, sleeping gear and laptop with movies, you are over the limit for carry-on baggage. Forget about trying to get the microwave on board. Don’t get me wrong, I’d rather fly than lug around a backpack on foot for a few thousand miles, but I guess I’m dating myself when I remember hot meals with real knives and forks. Those were the days. As a kid, I remember my parents taking us on a British Airways flight to London. Wow, what luxury. My brothers and I, who were not taken out for dinner often with our parents because my parents valued their sanity, couldn’t believe all the fanciness. The hot dinners even had complimentary wine with them, which, of

course my parents needed. There were these wonderful women in snappy uniforms (with hats) who brought us pillows and blankets and drinks when we wanted them. Room service in a chair. It was amazing. I also remember a flight on Air Emirates a few years back that was the epitome of luxury. I was given a menu—can you believe it—complete with a choice (yes, I said choice) of appetizer, main course and dessert. The food was amazing, the seats cushy and service attentive. As I dozed off from my feast and aperitif, a blanket was draped over me, without me asking. This was a regular coach fare. Sigh. Now, airlines scrape off the frills, such as food and warmth, so presum-

ably we can get cheaper rates. I suppose the demand for lower fares is there and it’s our own darn fault. Airlines have been hit with some hefty fees for fares and, no matter how low they can offer a flight, those taxes and fees will hike it back up. So, in turn, taking out the discretionary costs helps keep the fares lower and airlines more competitive. You can always upgrade, of course, and Air Canada has some really cool executive sleeper units, but that often puts things out of reach for a family trip abroad. Still, I wonder how far airlines will go. We’re already levied a fee to pick our own seats, plus the charge for extra baggage. Soon, we could be paying more for the window or aisle seats, making those nasty mid-

dle seats the bargain spot. Will we have to pay for the toilet? Maybe they’ll take out the toilets all together and put in more seats. We can either hold it or bring our own bedpan. Maybe, we’ll have to bring our own life preserver and drop-down breathing apparatus. Perhaps, they’ll scrap the steward role and make everything self-serve with coffee and snack machines where the toilet used to be. We can load our own luggage for $10 off. No, it’s not like it used to be. But, at least I don’t have to pitch a tent and build my own fire... yet.

Earth Hour darkness will be a blessing

he earth looks quite different from above. The broader picture is visible, with silver threads marking streams that tumble down from mountains—noticeable from above mostly because of their whiteness at this time of year. From the windows of an airplane you also get a different perspective on forests and deserts, lakes and shorelines, wetlands and even clouds. There’s also a different perspective on the size of people. They’re barely even visible, they’re so tiny. And, they’re crammed into small spaces, so you can fly over vast distances without ever seeing one.

VIEWED from the window of an airplane, Okanagan Lake’s bend at Rattlesnake Island is much more visible than from the ground, and none of the 5,000 people who live across the lake at Peachland show up. They’re just not big enough. Perhaps it’s a lesson in our actual importance. JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS

Then, when you catch sight of a city from up there, you wonder what on earth you’re seeing. Areas that are irrigated stand out from the brown landscape around and irregular patches of forest has been mown down. The evidence of man’s hand in changing the landscape is inescapable. You become brutally aware of the sameness in subdivisions in cities and the disregard for natural features, as hills and streams simply disappear suddenly on the fringes. But, it helps us realize how insignificant we really are, in the whole scheme of things. If nothing else, that’s one lesson flying has to offer: a sense of perspective. Flying at night is a lesson too, but in how much we pollute the night sky with our lights. Star gazers are particularly aware of night pollution because it makes it difficult to view the stars, the more light there is at night. Cities are visible from

Judie Steeves miles away as a glow in the sky. It makes you wonder how it affects night-flying birds, such as owls who must identify it as stars. Because many birds navigate through the night sky using the stars, the carnage created by city lights is significant. But that’s not the real reason that many people will be turning off their lights this Saturday at 8:30 p.m. for an hour. It’s in order to draw attention to the importance of conserving power and taking action on climate change. Ironically, while Shaw Cable is promoting the idea, it is only suggesting lights be turned off, not television sets and radio stations advise you listen to the radio in the dark Hopefully, you’ll find you can read the Capital News by candlelight, too. At least it doesn’t need to be plugged in—unless you’re one of our online readers. You’ll notice that city hall will be dark, except for some safety lights, as will the B.C. Legislature in Victoria.

There’s even a getaway weekend at Manteo Resort as a prize for one lucky participant. Lend your support. It’s for a good cause.

Rockets push themselves back into WHL playoff series Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

When the Kelowna Rockets were last in the city of Everett, the team was down two games to nothing and returning to its home rink in Kelowna in desperate need of wins to extend its WHL season. Fast forward a week and the Rockets are back in Everett tonight after two exciting victories at Prospera Place brought them even at two games apiece in its best of seven WHL first round playoff series with Everett. The Rockets evened its playoff series with a thrilling 5-4 double overtime victory on Wednesday night in Kelowna, following a 5-3 win the night before. Coach Ryan Huska credits the experience of his troops for getting back into the series. “There’s a lot of guys in our room that have been there and understand how hard it is to (win a play-

off series),” said Huska on Thursday prior to hitting the road for Everett. “They understand if you’re down two games it’s not the end of the world.” In Kelowna this week the Rockets did what they had to do: They won their home games after dropping the first two games of the series in Everett. Sparked by two sellout crowds, a goaltending switch and the scoring prowess of Geordie Wudrick, the Rockets captured momentum in the series, which, one way or another, will be over by Monday night. “We have to try and carry over the momentum from the past two games,” said Huska. “The challenge to our players is to play for a full 60 minutes. Just about every game we have had spurts where we have been great and times when we have stood around and watched.” Wudrick, acquired Nov. 16 for Stepan Novotny, has been on fire in

the playoffs. Three times he has scored twice in a game and now has seven goals in the series, including Wednesday’s wicked wrister that bulged the twine a minute into the second overtime period. “I just put it on net and I was lucky it went top corner,” Wudrick told a media scrum following the game. The other central story line for the Rockets is between the pipes where 20-year-old Mark Guggenberger has taken over from Adam Brown. After being inserted in game three following two quick Everett goals, Guggenberger allowed just one goal on 23 shots. Wednesday it was Guggenberger who allowed two quick goals before settling in and stopping 39 shots en route to his second win of the series. Huska says it will most likely be Guggenberger again in net Friday and fans would be hard pressed not to be

Okanagan Sun sign former Chilliwack Huskers receiver The Okanagan Sun have signed a receiver from the Chilliwack Huskers. Phil Eash, a Mission, B.C. native is entering his final season in the BCFC and is coming off an excellent year. Despite the Huskers offense struggling in 2009, Eash finished ninth in BCFC receiving, mak-

ing 24 catches for 464 yards and scored one touchdown. Eash says there is one reason for his move from the Huskers to the Sun: “I want to win a championship,” he said. “I’ve had three years in Chilliwack and they are continuing to move forward, but I don’t think they will contend this year

so I decided to make a move.” Another reason for his move is Howie Zaron, the Sun director of player personnel. Zaron was Eash’s head coach in Chilliwack for the past three years. “No it wasn’t an easy decision leaving Chilliwack, but him being in the Okanagan definitely made the move an easier

one,” said Eash. Eash is a 5’11, 220 pound receiver who describes his game as a “possession receiver, I catch anything that you throw to me basically.” “Howie had recruited Phil to play in Chilliwack and he had spoken very highly of him and what he can do on the field. I’m not always comfortable

with taking a player from another team,” said Sun head coach Pete McCall. “But I think here is a situation where a kid had a good relationship with his coach and his coach has moved on so he wants to follow him and be a part of this as well. From what Howie has told me, he has some good hands and is a big strong receiver who

can block and make that possession catch. “We can definitely use somebody like that; his experience can be something we count on this season.” Eash said he is excited to be part of the Sun tradition. “They always have been dominating, you look back in the 80’s and

90s, they’ve always been the dominant one,” said Eash “I definitely think we’re going to get back to the top this year.” The Okanagan Sun will continue to work out at the Capital News Centre as they prepare for the 2010 season which begins on the road, July 24 in Kamloops

Local cadet trio are sharp shooters

LOCAL biathlete Carson MacKenzie carries the B.C. flag during opening ceremonies of the National Cadet Biathlon Championships in Quebec. CONTRIBUTED

Three local air cadets returned victorious after a week at the National Cadet Biathlon Championships in Val Cartier, Quebec. Brothers Carson and Jasper MacKenzie along with Devon Greenhalgh are all members of 909 Peregrine Squadron Royal Canadian Air Cadets in Westbank. The national competition saw over 136 cadets from across the country congregate in Val Cartier for the opportunity to compete for top honours. Carson, 13, was selected to carry the flag

during opening ceremonies for Team B.C. which was made up of a total of 12 cadets from around the province that qualified for the national competition by winning at the provincial competition held in February at Mount Washington. Jasper, 17, Carson and Devon,15, teamed up for the relay race on the first day of competition winning the bronze medal for Team B.C. in the unit male category. The second and third days of racing were individual races. First, a sprint race was held and Carson skied his way to a gold medal in the junior male category while Devon placed tenth in senior boys and Jasper placed fourth in youth men. Later in the week was the pursuit race where Jasper won the gold in youth men and Carson the bronze in junior boys. The fastest individual aggregate times for the sprint and pursuit races

determine the overall winners in each category and the top cadets in Canada. The Myrium Bedard Trophy is given to the top cadet in the Youth category, the JP Le Guellec is given to the top cadet in the senior category and the Nikkie Keddie Award is given to the top Junior Cadet. In this case, both MacKenzie brothers won top awards with Jasper winning the Myrium Bedard and Carson winning the Nikkie Keddie Trophies. As well as being part of the 909 Peregrine Squadron biathlon team Jasper, Carson and Devon are all members of the Telemark Biathlon team and are coached by Rob Swan of Critical Speed Okanagan. The cadet biathlon program has produced several national, international and Olympic-calibre biathletes including Myriam Bedard, double Olympic gold medalist at the 1994

Olympic Winter Games in Lillehammer, Martine Albert who participated in the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Turin and holds more than 30 Canadian and North American titles and a world championship bronze medal and, Jean-Philippe Le Guellec who competed at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. The Cadet Program has a membership of over 50,000 young people across Canada. It is a national youth development program that provides tools and activities to prepare youth for the transition to adulthood by instilling the values of fitness, leadership, citizenship, challenge and fun. To find out more about the Cadet Program visit www.cadets.ca. The 909 Peregrine Squadron RCAC meets Monday nights at the Westbank Lions hall from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30. Youth ages 12 to 18 are welcome.

The SECRET Revealed Top Reasons why MEN get ‘Out of Shape’ & Overweight

1. I just don’t have any ‘time’ for exercise. 2. I have poor eating habits. 3. I’m too embarrassed to be seen at the ‘gym’. 4. My ‘Old’ injuries - bad back, sore knees and/or sore shoulders. 5.

Intercollegiate hockey team third in inaugural tournament Rob Tessier CONTRIBUTED

The Okanagan College Crusaders finished off their inaugural season in the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League with a third place finish in the season ending tournament last weekend. After beating Trinity Western 6-2 in the first

game of the playoff tournament, the Cru went on to face SFU in game two. Despite the strong effort, SFU came away with the 4-2 win. With one loss and one win under their belts, the Crusaders moved on to face Trinity Western again in a must win game. Trinity was coming off of an upset the night

Big White Racers ski to success

before, beating Fraser Valley 4-3. After taking an early lead the Crusaders would be forced into overtime when the Titans rallied back to tie the game. Overtime solved nothing and the game went to a shootout. Crusaders goal-

tender Adam Butler was stellar in net leading to the Crusader’s win. That put the Crusaders into a semi final game against top ranked SFU, the number one team in the league all season long. All season the Cru had given SFU a run for

their money and it was evident again in the semifinal game. SFU came out hard, jumping out to a two goal lead in the first, but the Crusaders squad battled back scoring a goal in the second period and another to tie the game and push it into overtime.

Overtime solved nothing and for the second game in a row, in the same day, the Crusaders were off to a shootout that would determine their playoff fates. Crusaders forward Matt Elia started things off with a beautiful goal

that placed all the pressure on SFU. Unfortunately it wasn’t enough as SFU prevailed and ended the Crusaders hopes at a championship game birth. In the final, SFU pulled won 2-1 over TRU, and secured their place as 2010 BCIHL champions.

for missed targets. Lee grabbed his second first-place finish in the 13 and 14-year-old 3.75-km sprint, while Eric Byram was third in junior boys. Both shot clean at the range. In the three-kilometre sprint for 11 and 12-yearolds, Sam Ruse won the race. In the three-kilometre sprint start for 10 and under girls Madelaine Ruse was clean on the range and placed 7th.

Okanagan Symphany celebrates 50th anniversary Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

You can forget the humdrum Happy Birthday notes and the wonky cardboard noise makers. When the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra sits down to play for its own 50th birthday, the music will be the highlight of the celebrations—not the icing on the cake. This Saturday, beginning at 7 p.m., in the Kelowna Community Theatre, the OSO will commemorate the 50 years the orchestra has played with a program originally assembled for their inaugural concert. “I know there are audience members that are coming that were here at the very first performance,” said Rosemary Thomson, OSO conductor and musical director. It’s really the community who have managed to sustain the small orchestra. From the thousands of volunteers needed for everything from staging to decision making on the OSO’s board of directors, Thomson said the orchestra has only been able to grow from an amateur musical group to the professional ensem-

ble it is today because of the dedication shown by community members in Penticton, Vernon and Kelowna. A lot has changed over the 50 years since the first musicians hit the stage, making it an extra challenge for Thomson and the crew when they take to the stage. Working through the original program, she’s learned programming has come a long way in the last half century. “It’s been interesting to see how they programmed 50 years ago. It’s quite different and that’s partly philosophical,” she said. Where Thomson will usually program thematically, drawing northern European composers together with other northern European composers, and so forth, the original programs drew from all manner of musical periods and styles for a single concert. From a practical standpoint, the orchestra didn’t have to worry about paying musicians so they could play pieces with any number of musicians, swapping from a full stage to one half empty and turning it all around again in the same night, whereas

THREE BIRTHDAY parties are planned for the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra with an encore performance of the OSO’s inaugural program. Thomson must be selective with who she can afford to bring in. There are many smaller-town symphonies across Canada celebrating their 50th anniversaries in the next few years as the community symphony is a product of the postwar rebuild. “Coming back home, people here were really looking at community and enriching their lives and looking at the symphony as a way to do that,” explained Thomson. The OSO started in Penticton under the

leadership of Willem Bertsch who served as the first conductor. For this weekends’ performances Bertsch’s son, Rolf, will

in the audience for at least one of the performances. Also joining the concert tour is Conductor Laureate Leonard Camplin who led the orchestra from 1964 to 1996. He will be taking up the baton to conduct Haydn’s Surprise Symphony & Bach’s Sheep May Safely Graze. “He was the conductor of the orchestra for 32 years—just an incredible feat; so now he’s our conductor laureate,” Thomson said. This 50th anniversary is also the product of volunteerism. Headed by Anne Rabbitte, the 50th anniversary committee includes six dedicated community members who help assemble the concept, which includes a commissioned piece. The performance in Kelowna was preceded by one in Penticton and will be followed by one in Vernon on Saturday, beginning at 7 p.m. in the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. Tickets for the Kelowna and Penticton shows are available through Ticketmaster, and Ticket Seller for Vernon. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

ave you ever wondered how a non-profit organization is run? From the large, national Canadian Cancer Society to the small, local Project Literacy Kelowna Society, each nonprofit has a board of directors at the helm. This is a legal requirement for all registered charities and non-profit organizations registered as corporations under provincial legislation. The board of directors is a group of volunteers. Their purpose is to ensure that the organization works to achieve its mission without wasting money or breaking any laws. Some boards are very hands on and volunteer for daily, ongoing tasks of the agency. Other boards focus on making decisions and supervising a paid executive director who in turn manages the organization’s daily activities. Sometimes there is committee work for board members to deepen their contribution within the non-profit. Because of legal and financial responsibilities, many boards have a lawyer and an accountant as members. What about the other four to 13 members? Typically a board will gather members who provide insight from the perspectives of the customer, internal administration as well as innovation and learning. People who volunteer and are selected to sit on a non-profit board can represent a wide range of interests and skills within the community. Skill sets concern business, “big picture” thinking, community relations, resource development and client focus to name a few. Every member must be passionate about the cause, committed to the organization, and able to give both the time and energy to attend to board business. Does any of this spark your interest? If it does, approach a non-profit that appeals to you to see if See VolunteerA23

Improved economy lets Capitol Theatre go 3-D W

estsiders have two reasons to celebrate this coming week. The first piece of big news is that the Capitol Theatre is heading into the third dimension. On Thursday, April 1 at 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. the Capitol will premiere Clash of the Titans in 3-D (and no, it is not an April Foolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s joke). Many have anxiously awaited the new technology to come to the Westside since the Grand 10 unveiled theirs over a year ago and especially since the overwhelming success of Avatar. I am very surprised and excited about 3-D arriving so soon on this side of the bridge. If you had asked

MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis me even three months ago when we might see 3-D at the Capitol (and many did), I would have said not for the foreseeable future. However, the success of Avatar and an uptick in the economy has help speed up the process of getting more theatres converted to the expensive technology. The other big movie story coming out of West Kelowna is local Jack Rose getting a significant

role in Hot Tub Time Machine. Rose plays the younger version of John Cusack who, along with a group of burnedout best friends, travels back to 1986â&#x20AC;&#x201D;courtesy of a magical hot tub and a lot of alcoholâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and get a second chance to rediscover their mojo. Although it looks like a lightweight (and vulgar) party movie, Cusack serves as producer and as such was responsible for two other gems he starred in: Grosse Pointe Blank and High Fidelity. I liked those two movies so much that I am willing to give Hot Tub Time Machine a chance. Early reviews are already putting it in the same realm as fellow gross-out comedy

Westsider Jake Rose (second from left) plays a young John Cusack in Hot Tub Time Machine. The Hangover. Rose got the role thanks to his acting ability and his resemblance to Cusack. (Maybe Cusackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1989 hit Say Anything will be remade with Rose in the lead role.) Also opening this weekend is How to Train Your Dragon, the new animated adventure from DreamWorks about a Viking teenager be-

ing trained to fight dragons instead befriends one of the flying fire-breathers. Already getting favourable critical notices, it looks to be an exciting and funny story featuring the voices of Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill and Craig Ferguson. What I find amusing is Scotsmen Butler and Ferguson as the voices of Vi-

kings with Scottish accents. (I guess if an ogre can have a Scottish accent, so can Norsemen.) It is playing in 3-D at the Grand 10 Cinemas (the first to do so since Avatar opened there back in December) and apparently the flying sequences are spectacular in 3-D. It is also playing in 2-D at the Capitol Theatre. I missed mentioning two movies which opened at the Paramount Theatre last week. You still have a chance to see Roman Polanskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest opus Ghost Writer starring Ewan McGregor and Pierce Brosnan and Academy Award nominees Christopher Plumber and Helen Mirren in The Last Station.

What else can SD23 afford to lose?

s School District 23 flounders into the budget process, officials are facing the third year in a string of projected multimillion-dollar shortfalls. Operating at a continual deficit is not feasible for any organization. A simple retail outlet or business focused mainly on profit would have an admittedly easier time of it than a school district responsible for the employment of hundreds of teachers and support staff, the administration of a complex web of education pro-

grams and the maintenance of large buildings across the Central Okanagan. All of these responsibilities come with an even weightier pressure that has nothing to do with cost: Providing society’s children with an education. Budget deliberations leave people facing the bottom line. The unfortunate economic truth is that even well-meaning school boards cannot make something from nothing. Their work is made more difficult by the law of the land. In our province,

a school district must not run a budget shortfall. A $4.7-million problem is created by many factors and many people. The district faces an array of increasing costs from all sides, in the same way a city does, or even a person: Less money from the government; added fees; higher bills for water and electricity; keeping the people who depend upon them for survival happy. What the district does not seem to have is enough money to pay all the bills. In this situ-

ation, the only option left is to remove costs that are already there. Such self-examination can be healthy for any business. Where is there waste? What can we do more efficiently? Are there weaknesses we failed to see? The axe will fall, because it must. Whether it be on wasted art supplies, on aging buildings or on the livelihoods of their employees is the crux of the matter. When everything extraneous has been cut, what else can you afford to lose?

Money’s too good to give gambling profits to sports, arts

he first rumour I heard about gambling in B.C. was on the school bus. If you knew the guy at the general store in Pouce Coupe, you could get a ticket on the Irish Sweepstakes and maybe be set for life with, like, $100,000. Mind you, this was in the 1960s, when B.C. residents had to belly up to the liquor store counter to inquire about a case of Old Style. Shelves were off-limits to all but stern-faced government staff, lest a

commoner be tempted to grab the demon drink and run away. Nearly all gambling was illegal, except bingo at church basements and counTom try fairs. Then the OlymFletcher pic lottery was brought in, strictly as a temporary measure to assist after the 1976 Summer Games in Montreal. The successor of that effort, the 649 draw, just paid out $41 million on two tickets bought in Edmonton and London, Ont. Lotteries are at the heart of what

VICTORIA VIEWS

has become a $1 billion revenue stream for the B.C. government, along with Vegas-style casinos, Texas hold ’em poker tournaments, and “community gaming centres” full of one-armed bandits. But the moralizing continues over gambling. Some of the nastier exchanges in the legislature this month came as a slow drip of bad news for lottery grant recipients continued. Sports clubs, arts groups, bird refuges, even playgrounds are affected as the B.C. Liberals feel the weight of $4.5 billion in deficits this year and next. No question period on gambling would be complete without an exchange of cheap shots over bingo.

NDP critic Shane Simpson asked Housing and Social Development Minister Rich Coleman why he was doubling down on Internet gambling, giving B.C. Lottery Corp. the authority and budget to set up player accounts for up to $10,000. Coleman’s first response was a ritual reference to bingo funds “you stole” from Nanaimo charities under the NDP “regime” in the 1990s. After a mild rebuke from the Speaker, Coleman justified the decision by promising the B.C. gambling site wouldn’t be crooked. “The fact that a teenaged kid in this province could take their parents’ Visa card and go online and gamble

at someplace like Barbados or over in the Cayman Islands or somewhere like that.… Why not have a legal thing so people could do it legally in this province?” A succession of B.C. governments has tried to launder gambling profits by giving a portion to charities. The state’s expansion into Internet gambling marks the end for that approach. It wasn’t long ago when swim club parents took their turns handing out cards at smoke-filled bingo halls, taking a cut from overweight players to finance their kids’ healthy exerSee Gambling A25

CD-21 ZONE

Idle rich highrise Federal government dwellers won’t afraid to venture into help downtown downtown Kelowna be more vital To the editor: I am on a fixed income and I did live in Kelowna for many years. However, I was forced to move to Vernon because Kelowna has too much upscale highrise development and almost no affordable housing. So when I hear supporters of the CD-21 zoning plan state that having upscale highrises for thousands more people living downtown would give the central core economic and social vibrancy, this tells me they are dreaming and don’t know what they are talking about. What vibrancy of thousands of people flocking downtown with cash in hand eager to buy? The vast majority of citizens wouldn’t be able to afford to live in the luxurious highrises, so from where will all the multimillionaires come from to fill the highrises? Many of the highrises in the Dolphins area have empty suites because of a lack of millionaire buyers and because of absentee speculator owners. So where is the common sense to have a CD-21 zone with more high-end highrises when most of the highrises would stay nearly empty? How many average wage earners would rush to the upscale stores in the CD zone to buy high-end products when they get bargains at Walmart, Costco, Canadian Tire and Orchard Park with free parking? How would the store

keepers paying highpriced rents survive from dwindling millionaire customers affected by recession, coming inflation and eventual depression lasting for many years? Not only could store keepers go bankrupt but even rich highrise dwellers and rich developers could also eventually go bankrupt and end up pushing their belongings around town in shopping carts. How can there be social vibrancy in the proposed CD-21 plan? The spoilt idle rich highrise dwellers don’t want their backyard and neighbourhood with average wage earners sitting around, congregating and loitering. Conflicts over use of the area would boil over between the rich highrise dwellers and average citizens. Also, how can needed family vibrancy be achieved when highrises aren’t suitable for families with children? The Grand Hotel, Dolphins and adjacent highrises were originally supposed to rejuvenate the downtown. The only vibrancy produced is from the gambling joint. So, why repeat the same mistake of wrecking the waterfront and downtown with luxurious highrises for a few declining multimillionaires? Relying on the idle rich to produce vibrancy is doomed to fail. Albert Gusbin, Vernon

To the editor: My family has owned property at the corner of Water and Leon Avenues for over 60 years. When my father and uncle acquired the first site next to the Fire Hall it was a blacksmith shop with a hitching post behind it so horses could be left there when shoppers came to Kelowna to shop. In those days, people came to downtown Kelowna to shop. We are disappointed that the CD-21 zone was recently not approved. With the fate of the proposed redevelopment of part of downtown Kelowna at risk, I am concerned that people just don’t understand how difficult it is to make this area attractive. Here is an example of our efforts to make the area more vibrant and people friendly. When it was an-

nounced that Kelowna would be getting a Passport Office in late 2008, my family submitted a proposal to construct a new building especially for the government. We were informed by Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSG) that our proposed building would comply with the standards for leased accommodations and that we would be permitted to submit a lease proposal to them. On Jan. 28, 2009 representatives of PWGSC came to Kelowna to do Threat and Risk Assessments. They later informed us that our area, at the corner of Water and Leon in downtown Kelowna, was not suitable for a Passport Office due to the risk that would be imposed on their employees and customers. I could go on and on about how sad it is that in

a great county like Canada, where we pride ourselves on social programs, public safety and law and order, how unbelievable it is that one particular area of a city is not suitable for the government to work in. I believe that the RCMP maintains the same standards of law and order throughout our city and that they are doing a great job of policing, however the federal government would not locate the Passport Office in this area. Let’s hope that the current council respects the previous council’s wishes and passes the CD21 zone. Redevelopment will bring residents to the area, making it a safe and people friendly area. It will help make Kelowna a better city. Gary August, Kelowna

Bingo a dying market at $1.8 bln Express yourself Gambling from A24 cise. Then smoking was banned, and hardcore players drifted to casinos and computers. Now Coleman says charity bingo sponsorship agreements are being phased out as they expire. The province is paying out $50 million annually to 1,500 bingo-affiliated charities, but “the rev-

enue from bingo is expected to be $1.8 million this year,” he said. “So bingo is a dying marketplace for us.” The lottery “marketplace” in B.C. has been solid for a decade, thanks to aggressive advertising and an array of ticket offerings tailored to ethnic and other tastes. But the future is clear. “I think online (gambling) is go-

ing to be a business line, but it’s not going to be a massive growth line like the casinos were,” Coleman said. Oh, and let’s not forget that a portion of B.C. gambling revenues is dedicated to funding health care, just as HST revenues will be.

Opportunities to get into a trade abound

he high school I went to was so small that my graduating class had only 152 students. The total school population was no more than 400. Because the school was small, we didn’t have the same options afforded those attending a larger high school. Non-academic courses included cooking and sewing for the girls and automotive shop for the boys. You couldn’t even pick in those days. Girls went into the class with the kitchen and the sewing machines, and boys into the smelly shop at the far end of the parking lot. We had very limited exposure to the trades.

SCHOOL’S IN

Jane Muskens I don’t recall too many of my classmates talking about trades training. Most were either going to work on the family farm, head off to college or university, or get a job. On the other hand, half of my son’s friends are in some type of trades training. Two of his friends just completed their secondyear electrical apprenticeship, one completed his pre-apprenticeship in col-

lision repair, painting and refinishing last year, and two of his female friends are now certified hair stylists. All of these young adults—not one of them older than 21—are working full-time in their trade. Trades training in the last 10 years has ballooned with more people, even high school students, considering a career in the trades. In Canada there are seven major trade groups. These are building construction trades, electrical, electronics and related trades, food and services trades, industrial and related mechanical trades, metal fabricating trades, motor vehicle and heavy equipment trades and

5,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS!

Young people in our community are important. For the tenth year in a row, the Kelowna Capital News and the BC & Yukon Community Newspapers Association are offering local and provincial scholarship opportunities to all 2010 graduating high school students! It is our commitment to the future. The scholarships are open to all high school students in BC and Yukon. Applicants must write a 500-word essay on the topic: How could your local paper partner with the youth in your community to make a positive difference? The essay, along with school and contact information, must be submitted to the Kelowna Capital News by April 23, 2010. The local winner’s submission will be forwarded to the BC & Yukon Community Newspapers Association for judging. There will be three recipients: 1st place at $3,500, 2nd at $1,000 and 3rd at $500. Winners will receive their award at their graduation ceremonies. Full details available at the Kelowna Capital News or visit www.bccommunitynews.com for more information. Good luck!

other trades. Through time, new registered apprenticeship trades are added. Recent additions include conference and event planner, information technology support associate, and motion picture and theatre grip. These new apprenticeships usually arise as industry begins to demand workplace standards. Demand for registered apprenticeships (these are workers who register as an apprentice and alternate between working and going to school to achieve their certification as a journey person) also changed due to economic activity. Back in 1991 the total number of registered apprenticeships in Canada was 192,945. By 1995 this number had decreased to 163,370— the result of an economic downturn. As the economy began to pick up, registered apprenticeships began to grow, reaching 358,555 in 2007. More exposure to the trades, coupled with strong campaigns highlighting skills shortages,

has seemed to work as more young people are considering trades training. The building construction trades witnessed the largest growth with a 22 per cent increase from 1991 to 2007. Prior to 1991, the largest trade group was motor vehicle and heavy equipment trades. Obviously the construction boom of the last decade has played a major role in shifting this focus. Other changes to registered apprenticeships, as noted by Stats Canada, include an increase in women entering trades programs outside of hairstyling and the food and beverage industry, and more young adults between the age of 20 and 24 entering trades training. Young adults seem to know more about the trades today than when I was in high school. And most schools today would have a hard time forcing girls into sewing and boys away from cooking class.

ICBC helping to improve roads ICBC has invested nearly $810,000 in road improvements around Kelowna in 2009. Most Kelowna residents have seen the improvements along Harvey Avenue and Highway 97. They are among the 21 road enhancement projects that ICBC helped pay for in Kelowna last year to help make roads safer for all users. Now moving into its third decade, ICBC’s road improvement program invested approximately $1.7 million in the Southern Interior region and $8.1 million across B.C. in 2009 (including the money spent here). ICBC works in partnership with municipalities and the provincial government on delivering road enhancements. ICBC also participates in engineering studies and assists communities with road safety issues in the planning of roadways and managing traffic.

“The City of Kelowna is committed to ensuring residents can travel safely and efficiently on our roadways. We value the opportunity to work with ICBC to help make our community safer through road improvement projects,” said Kelowna Mayor Sharon Shepherd. Projects proposed for road improvement are assessed to ensure they make B.C. roads safer for all road users. An independent evaluation of ICBC-funded road improvements found that, measured over a two-year period after a project’s completion, there was an 18 per cent reduction in property damage crashes and a 25 per cent reduction in the number of severe crashes where someone is either killed or seriously injured in the crash. Accordong to ICBC, the investments helped many British Columbians escape injury and death.

▼ LEXUS

Serious off-road ability under GX 460’s civilized exterior Neil Moore CONTRIBUTOR

When I first saw the new 2010, second-generation GX 460 SUV, my first thoughts were of a Toyota 4Runner in top hat and tails. Not that it’s a bad thing, but with the company’s constant crowing about the Lexus L-finesse design language, I expected, well, a little more finesse. While the 4Runner embraces its truckiness, the GX 460 conceals it behind a three-bar chrome grille, swoopier projectorstyle headlights, and gentler lines. Still, make no mistake, this premium SUV is no wimp, and shares many of the serious offroad underpinning from its lower-priced sibling. Unlike much of the competition, which has been moving towards carbased, unibody designs, both vehicles have truckbased, body-on-frame construction. The two also share suspension design (al-

though tuned differently) as well as a number of offroad technologies that make bush-bashing a little easier. That is, if you’d take a $70,000-plus vehicle over rock ledges, through the mud, and otherwise beat the heck out of it. The GX 460 comes in two well-equipped trim levels: the Premium and Ultra Premium. The “base” unit starts at $68,500 and includes all the power doodads you’d expect in any premium vehicle, plus threezone automatic climate control, heated and ventilated front seats with driver’s memory, voice-activated navigation with backup camera, rain sensing wipers, moonroof, smart key system, front and rear clearance sonar (beeps when you get near objects) and the now legendary 17-speaker Mark Levinson surroundsound audio system with satellite radio and steering wheel controls. I drove the Ultra Premium, starting at $77,500, which comes chock-a-

There’s noticeably more power than before, and despite the 2010 model’s hefty 2326 kg (5305 lbs) - 176 kg heavier than last year’s model - the GX 460 launches with authority and has no problem passing quickly at highway speeds. It comes with standard full-time four-wheel drive (with active traction control) with a low range for off-roading. Power is distributed 40:60 under most driving conditions, but changes according to steering input and wheel slippage. You also get standard Hill-start Assist Control, which helps keep the vehicle from rolling back when starting on an incline, and Downhill Assist Control, which holds the vehicle at a set speed great for steep descents. At the Ultra Premium level, you get features like Crawl Control, which is a ‘cruise control’ system for off-roading. Set the transmission to the low range, select one of five speeds, and Crawl Control will handle the throttle and braking while you concentrate on steering. I’ve tried this feature in the 4Runner on some nasty terrain, and it really does work. To help keep all four tires in contact on uneven surfaces, the standard Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System can disengage the stabilizer bars to allow more wheel travel and greater suspension reach. Back on the road, stabilizer bars work conventionally to reduce body lean. The Multi Terrain Select system (an Ultra Premium feature) allows you to choose the right amount of wheel slippage to suit the terrain. On very loose surfaces, such as mud or sand, the system allows for more wheelspin, while on bumpy moguls or solid rock, it provides more traction and limits your spin. Also at this top trim level is the Adaptive Variable Suspension, which can be set to Normal, Sport and Comfort. If you want to keep resident back-seat drivers engaged during a long drive, turn on the optional Lane Departure Alert. This feature notifies you -

and everybody else in the vehicle - whenever you drift towards an adjacent lane without signaling. Take your attention off the road to adjust the sound system or any of the GX 460’s abundant techie toys and you’ll inevitably hear a series of beeps, followed by an earful of criticism. I prefer the Mercedes E-Class system that provides a discrete “rumble strip” effect, felt only through the steering wheel. Dynamic radar cruise control allows you to maintain a pre-set distance from the car in front as the system applies brakes and throttle accordingly. Once it’s engaged, bump the stalk up or down to adjust the digitally displayed speed in 1-km/h increments. I would like to say “just set it and forget it,” but that would be unwise. The system responds reasonably well with the changing speed of light highway traffic, but I wouldn’t count on it in heavier situations, or when some idiot cuts you off and stomps on the brakes. One clever safety feature is the Pre-Collision System (PCS), which uses the front radar sensor (to detect objects ahead) and a camera on the steering column to read the position of your face. If you’re not facing forward when a collision is anticipated, the system sounds a warning and lightly taps the brakes to get your attention. It can even take a more active role (like braking) if a crash is imminent. As you’d expect in any Lexus vehicle, The GX 460 provides a spacious and well-appointed cabin, with impeccable materials, fit and finish. The 40-20-40 secondrow seats slide and recline, and offer plenty of kneeroom. In one motion, the right seat tilts and slides forward to access the third row. Yes, you can fit two people in the 50/50 third row, but they had better be small, and reasonably agile to get in. This is no place for your arthritic parents. On the plus side, the third row seats can individually fold flat with the push of a button, giving you plenty of cargo space.

▼ R8 SPYDER

Audi impresses on every level Jim Robinson t

CONTRIBUTOR

NICE, France—Built for speed and guaranteed to impress doesn’t begin fto describe the 2011 Audi tR8 V10 Spyder. From any angle, esfpecially the rear with its deck-mounted twin exhaust ports, the R8 Spyder makes other supercars look somehow from another age. And that’s the strange part. Except for the drop top, the Spyder is the same as the Coupe in most respects. In fact it is identical from the A pillar forward. But with the roof gone and the side blades deleted, the Spyder looks lower, more aggressive and, I have to say, it is one of the handsomest cars I have ever driven. Yes handsome, not pretty like an Aston Martin, but muscularly handsome. You will not go unnoticed arriving in a R8 Spyder. Yes, there are Lamborghinis that have a similar shape, and in fact, the R8 incorporates a lot Audi learned when it bought Lambo. But instead of Fantasyland prices, the R8 Spyder is going to start at about $190,000 when it hits Audi showrooms in the late summer. You may say 190 grand is a lot, and it is, but how about $323,195 for an Aston Volante convertible? So many things stand out with the Spyder, starting with the fittings. An example is the engine exhaust ports. Finished in a titanium color, they arc back with the openings glaring straight into the eyes of the driver behind you. Then there is the flatbottomed steering wheel trimmed in leather that fhas just the right amount of tactile feel without being sticky. Start the engine and it lunges into life with a bark that settles down to a gruff idle. Immediately, you sense there is so much on tap that you tend to move off gingerly - at first. But with leading-edge engine management, this 525 hp beast is actually a pussycat around town. But all pretensions of civility vanish when you start using the right pedal with intent.

The 5.2-litre V10, besides 525 horses, has 390 lb/ft of torque routing power through a singleclutch six-speed Rtronic sequential transmission and quattro all-wheeldrive (AWD) with torque split to a constant 30/70 per cent front/rear. Top speed is limited to 313 km/h and it goes from 0-100 km/h in a mere 4.1 seconds. At low speeds the Rtronic is annoying. Being sequential, it gains pace until it shifts up and the revs drop down and build again in what is called “rubberbanding”. At all times, it is better to shift with the paddles on the steering wheel. Because the torque is modest compared to the horsepower, it’s actually a bonus because the power comes in linearly like turning on a tap. And then from around 4,000 rpm, the Spyder goes from fun to glorious. At the press launch in Nice, my driving partner (David Booth of the National Post) and I roared up and down the coast highway to St. Raphael passing through tunnels and sheer rock faces with the reverberation from the exhaust reminding both of us of F1 cars. Optional, and fitted to our test car, were carbon fibre reinforced brakes with specially developed cooling ducts and internal ventilation. As big as manhole covers, the fronts featured nothing less than six piston monobloc aluminum calipers developed for the R8 by Brembo. In Nice with its narrow streets and chaotic traffic, the brakes were actually irritating. Sensitive with a sudden grabbiness, they came into their own flowing through the roads outside of built up areas. With any kind of speed built up, the brakes could be modulated all with the ball of the foot. In fact, once you got the feel of the torque flow into the drivetrain, it was possible to feather the brakes letting the huge engine braking and the tenacity of the AWD system do most of the work for you. David Booth drives a car like he drives his beloved motorcycles, going in nose first and holding See Audi B4

STANDING or moving, the 2011 Audi R8 V10 Spyder is a car that grabs your attention with its handsome styling and a thrilling exhaust note. CONTRIBUTED

MOTORING ▼ AUDI

Plenty of options for drivers of R8 Spyder Audi from B3

IN A CHOICE of leathers or carbon fibre, the cockpit of the R8 Spyder is happily not festooned with knobs and rocker switches but just the tools you need to get the job done.

off braking to the last second. Instead of giving me motion sickness, which I expected having endured his driving style before, his entry and exit to turn after turn was smooth and controlled with no failing of arms and expletives. There was no squealing rubber or the sensation of the rear coming around as the yaw limit with reached. All the fantastic driver aids like Audi’s quattro allwheel-drive, magnetic ride system with adaptive damping and selective suspension tuning performed superbly. I thought the Spyder was somehow much easier to point than the Coupe which the Audi engineers found hard to believe but Booth concurred. The top has to be seen in action. The multi layered cloth bonnet can be lowered at speeds up to 50 km/h. To test Audi’s claim that it is one of quietest vehicles in the supercar segment, we put the top up and hit the super highway. At the legal limit of 120 km/h, our conversation was normal, even with the windows open. One of the truly great features is three, yes three, tiny microphones imbedded in the driver’s seatbelt. They allow the driver hands-free Bluetooth cellphone connectivity. But Audi doesn’t end there with the cool stuff. You would expect the security system to monitor the cabin for intrusion but the R8 Spyder’s horn operates independent of the electrical system. And if someone tried to tow the car, there is a tilt sensor that sounds an alarm if the car is

being boosted. If you can ever tear yourself away from the sound of the engine, the R8 comes standard with a great sound system. However, optional is a 12-speaker (I couldn’t find them all), 465-watt Bang & Olufsen unit with, get this, a 10-channel amplifier that is constantly sampling the acoustic mapping of the cabin top up or down that compensates for intrusive sounds. If you want options, you can have the whole interior done in carbon fibre instead of leather. Or for that matter you can do the entire engine bay in carbon fibre. But it’s kind of a waste because the view is hidden by the cloth top where it is visible for all the world to see through the glass rear window on the Coupe. The only problem for Audi, as it was with the Coupe, is getting enough. The first batch will probably be sold before they leave the factory. Happily, Audi found that impulse buyers with deep pockets were prepared to wait for the Coupe and they hope the same holds true for the Spyder. For the price, and what you get for it, there really isn’t much that compares. But most of all, it’s fun - with a serious side.

soft-touch materials, but the switch to what Mazda called a ‘Zone Layout’. Instrumentation is placed in zones of importance based on eye movement, the primary ones being the large tachometre on the left and speedometer on the right in pods directly in the line of sight of the driver. The secondary zone is along the base of the windshield with readouts, and in the case of the GT, a small navigation screen. The seat cushions were made 20 per cent larger and seat backs were extended 35 mm for better support. The grille treatment is hard to ignore. People love it or hate it, but sales show Canadians like it just fine, thank you. Following the, now, Mazda signature rounded front fenders back along the body side panels is a very pronounced character line that arches upward as it runs to the tail making for a Mazda3 that is visually very different from the 2009, but is unmistakably, still a Mazda3. One thing I found interesting is 80 per cent by weight of each end-of-life Mazda is recyclable. They are working on the other 20 per cent, mostly glass and plastics, and are aiming at 90 per cent recyclability in these areas. The 2010 Mazda3 is available in three trim levels: GX, GS and GT. If you opt for the sedan it comes equipped with a 2.0-litre twincam inline four-cylinder producing 148 hp and 135 lb/ft of torque. If you want the hatch-

CONTRACTOR SUPPLIES

Mazda continues its winning ways with Canadians thanks in very large part to the Mazda3 Sedan and Sport (hatchback) models. These cars respectr ively won their categories, Best New Small Car under $21,000 and Best New Small Car over $21,000, at last November’s Automotive Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) Best New Car of the Year awards. As this is being written, the Mazda3 was named Best Small Car by TSN’s Motoring 2010. But the award that counts is when consumers vote with their wallets and in January Mazda3 was the compact segment sales leader besting Honda Civic. In year-to-date sales at the end of February, Mazda3 was ahead of Civic. One of every three Mazdas sold around the world is a Mazda3, so when it came to designing the 2010 version, it was very much problem of how do you improve on a winner? Although the 2010 and the first generation Mazda3 have virtually the same dimensions, much attention was paid to aerodynamics with things like panels under the body to smooth air flow with the car’s overall coefficient of drag dropping from 0.31 down to 0.29. The biggest visual change is the much-enlarged grille. While it retains the Mazda five-point design, the wide mouth is there, not just for improved cooling, but is an actual part of the aero package. If you look closely, the upper half of the grille has the blacked out front bumper behind it. The bottom part of the air intake that’s left is kept as small as possible. In fact, it is 20 per cent smaller than the first generation Mazda3. Taking in excess air creates drag, which was considerably lessened in the new car. The front bumper has a flange that funnels air to the radiator. The nose is also shaped to route air not directed at the radiator around and down the flanks of the car. Even the taillights are shaped to aid airflow. The cabin area underwent not just a major redesign with liberal use of

Honda provides spring jumpstart Rob Beintema CONTRIBUTOR

SAVANNAH, GA.— A twist of the grip, a blaa-t of engine, and I am off, flitting past palmettos with sunshine stabbing through the draping Spanish moss that beards the trees. And it is hard to believe that it’s been almost six months since I last slipped into the saddle. There are no bad reasons for escaping the last cold Canadian doldrums of winter, but on March 8, Honda Canada provided motorcycle journalists with about a dozen very good reasons to jumpstart spring with the southern launch of an invigorated 2010 motorcycle lineup. Actually, according to Honda, that number of reasons is closer to 16, when you tally up the brand new or substantially changed models for the 2010 season. It’s been a rough year for the motorcycle biz, impacted by the same acrossthe-board recessionary damage common to all industries. The steady progression of yearly sales increases was chopped at the knees in 2009 with a sharp decline that slammed sales numbers back to 2001 averages. And Honda admits that their decline has been steeper than the industry average, citing their Powerhouse dealer changeovers, a sportbike stable that has been too limited in scope and a cruiser lineup that has

grown a little long in the tooth. Which explains why they have made such an aggressive shift of product, working to build one of the youngest lineups in the business.

A good part of Honda’s effort has been focused on revitalizing the 1300cc cruiser lineup. Although, I have to admit, the old VTX1300 was always a favourite of mine.

Its single-pin crankshaft V-Twin rumbled with that classic “potatopotato” burble and, while it didn’t have the chuffing, train-like overkill of its See Honda Bikes B8

The lineup evolved over the years but most changes only touched on style, not substance. The brand new VT1300 lineup for 2010 holds onto the good mechanical bits—same 1312cc engine, same brakes and transmission—but adds

modern fuel injection, a stretched wheelbase, lowered seat heights and a radical shift in design. The VT1300 lineup comes in a four-model selection that includes the Fury, Sabre, Stateline and Interstate. The first salvo of the lineup, the 2010 Fury, rocked the cycle world when it debuted to rave reviews last year as an unexpected “factory custom” with garish design lines and in-your-face chopper attitude. It’s tempting to think that the success of the Fury spurred the design of its stable mates but they were actually always part of the plan, sharing the common custom-styled shape and layout, but debuting later.

hard-edged for some. As part of Honda Canada’s emphasis on gradually applying the ABS linked-brake system to all products, they are only importing ABS versions of the Sabre and Stateline. ABS is an option with the Fury but is strangely not available with the Interstate touring package (a hangover of American hard-headedness). And, touching briefly on the 750cc segment that recently updated the Aero (classic-style) and Spirit (custom chopper-style) motorcycles, Honda has introduced two new models that should create a stir in this entry-level class. The new VT750C Phantom captures the classic “bobber” look in trendy blacked-out style, contrasting its dark monochrome tone with the minimum of brushed aluminum highlights. This is motorcycling in its most basic form, raw and uncluttered, but with enough fuel-injected torque from its 745 cc Vtwin engine. And, sure to be a hit with the retro crowd, the 2010 Honda Shadow RS, more of a standard bike than a laid-back cruiser really, also available only in a dark monotone shade of Heavy Grey Metallic, adding classic chrome details, from gleaming spoke wheels to handsome, throw-back twin mufflers. You can play “guess the influences” from Triumph Bonneville to Harley-Davidson Sportster. Quite a list of new or modified cruisers from Honda’s streetbike stable with more changes yet to come. And we haven’t even covered the sportbike additions to Honda’s lineup for 2010. Well, maybe next week.

entry to the lineup keeps the minimalist fenders and big 21-inch front wheel but downplays the other extremes of the Fury with a stylized curve to a shorter frame downtube and handlebars that are lowered to an easier reach. By pulling the seat, pegs and handlebars together, sort of the three points of the “ergonomic triangle”, the Sabre softens the radical edges of design, which, along with the thicker seat padding makes this bike a little easier to live with. Flick back and forth between pictures of the Fury and Sabre and you will notice that evolution of style to a less esoteric, still dramatic but more functional form. This was probably my favourite of the four, a nice combination of street presence and usability. Not that there’s that much difference between them. All four models handle well; turn in nicely, albeit with a longer wheelbase and turning circle and they all blast forth with a nicely modulated exhaust note that is just sharp and aggressive enough to encourage twisting the throttle. The Stateline shifts the design a little further to the right with a retro focus, featuring a more solid profile, chubbier tires and blockier fenders mounted in back with a vertical, VTX-style taillight. The Interstate model is really just a touring version of the Stateline, adding a windshield, floorboards, fork covers, heel-toe shifter and leather-wrapped hard saddlebags with hidden latches. Honda boasts this as a “Cross the country’ bike but the stylish seat might still be a little too firm and

Porsche top brand in J.D. Power dependability study

CONTRIBUTED

PORSCHE took top honours in the most recent J.D. Power and Associates 2010 Vehicle Dependability Study.

According to a quality study by J.D. Power and Associates, Porsche continues to meet and exceed the long-term quality demands of its customers in the United States. Porsche recorded the top score of all brands surveyed in the J.D. Power and Associates 2010 Vehicle Dependability Study (SM). The study measured

problems experienced by original owners of threeyear-old (2007 model year) vehicles, including 198 different problem symptoms across all areas of the vehicle. Overall dependability is determined by the level of problems experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100), with a lower score reflecting higher quality. Based on this meas-

urement, Porsche had the fewest problems and was the top brand in this important dependability study. According to J.D. Power and Associates, among new-vehicle shoppers, perception of quality and dependability is the most influential factor in their decision to purchase a specific vehicle model.

ciency of a compact and the cargo-carrying capabilities of a van. The Transit Connect is also available as a five-passenger wagon with a second row and side windows.

250-861-6163 2670 Hwy. 97N at Leathead www.anthonys.ca

“So, what’s with the ice cream truck?” If there’s anything strange sitting in the parking lot at work, be it a car, truck or motorcycle, coworkers automatically assume it belongs to me. And they’re usually right. “It’s not an ice cream truck. It’s a cute little import cargo van. And no, before you ask, I can’t help you move this weekend.” The Ford Transit Connect first launched in 2003

as the latest small addition to Ford Europe’s successful lineup of Transit passenger and commercial vans. It immediately won International Van of the Year for its combined qualities of maxed-out cargo room and utility in a compact and urban-nimble package. “So what?” you might say. “What’s a two-passenger commercial van got to do with my needs?” Well, along with the panel van version that I tested, the 2010 Transit Connect also comes in a five-passenger wagon configuration with second row seating and side windows. And its Swiss army knife-like versatility has spawned concepts and configurations ranging from shuttles to taxis, campers, a new electric-powered version, and even a kid-friendly “Family One Concept”. This is one of those vehicles, like many small trucks and subcompact cars seen in Europe, that have had Canadian automotive journalists tugging at the sleeves of GM, Chrysler and Ford executives for years. “Hey,” we would say. “You’ve got some great products in Europe. Why don’t you sell them over here?” Unfortunately, Canada’s smaller market means our execs always had to follow the lead of American head office decisions, trailing in the wake of their size-chauvinistic inertia until fuel prices and financial crisis forced those bright lights to a revelation. “Hey,” they said. “We’ve got some great products in Europe. Why don’t we sell them over here?” So, “leveraging its global product lineup”, as Ford puts it, the company introduced the Transit Connect to North America at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show, with a production version following a year later. And the new truck garnered yet another award as North American Truck of the Year 2010 at the Detroit Auto Show. The 2010 Ford TrandSee Cargo B13

sit Connect starts on a FWD Focus platform. Our North American version features a restyled front grille, a bigger front bumper and a dashboard with some familiar Focustoriented switchgear. Slipping into the t height-adjustable but low-slung, car-like seats, the Transit Connect feels slightly European due to its unique layout, the alien sound of the door chimes, tmaybe even because of the ABBA disc someone rleft in the CD player. But unlike the European long- or shorttwheelbase, diesel-powered selections, a simfplified Transit Connect lineup in Canada comes in one size, and one powertrain choice, harnessing a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder gasoline engine with a four-speed automatic transmission. I tested this vehicle, complete with passenger t and a full load of furnirture, and the 136 hp fourbanger felt ably adequate for the light duty deliveries that this vehicle was designed for. Tire-shredtding muscle is low on the priority list for this kind of commercial application. Four-cylinder fuel economy, officially rated at 9.5/7.9L/100km (city/ rhwy), along with an under $30K starting price are tmore important purchase reasons for the small business owners who previously had limited choices between minivans and full-sized V8-powered

commercial panel vans. But, lest you’re put off by that “adequate” power rating, I should add that running around town with a minimal load, the Transit Connect’s European character emerges, with a kind of little-engine-thatcould willingness and charm. Its compact size, designed for urban maneuverability, gives it tossable poise, nimble handling, even competent cornering. Maybe I was just getting in touch with memories of my teenage delivery days, but I was enjoying myself. And, boy, the stripped-down panel vans that I used to drive never had this level of standard equipment—dual front and side impact airbags, ABS braking, A/C, power group, tilt/telescopic steering with cruise control buttons, tire pressure monitoring, AM/FM/CD/ Aux audio system and much more. Behind the driver, a flat-floor cargo area opens with dual sliding side doors and 180-degreeopening split rear doors. Even the front doors offer easy access, important for delivery drivers hopping in and out. The cargo box can accommodate 4049.3 litres (143 cu. ft.) with room for loads up to 1980 mm (6.5’) in length and 1433 cm (4.7’) in maximum width. There is 1222 mm (48.1”) between the rear wheel wells. Even customers who opt for the See Cargo B14
