No drugs on plane say cops Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Not drugs, or anything else of a criminal nature turned up during a search of the plane wreckage found on Apex mountain Wednesday, dampening some of the speculation around the ill-fated flight. “While the purpose of the flight is not known at this time RCMP investigators have examined the contents of the aircraft and nothing of police interest was located,” said Cpl. Ted Manchulenko, addressing rumours that the plane was somehow embroiled in the crime world. “The RCMP can now confirm there were four occupants in the aircraft — all are deceased.” Manchulkenko wouldn’t confirm the names of those aboard the flight but the plane that was found Wednesday afternoon, belonged to and was believed to be piloted by Kelowna resident Rama Tello. He and his three passengers were last seen leaving Penticton Aug. 17 on a trip to Victoria. When the flight didn’t show up at its destination that night, an exhaustive grid search of the area between Penticton and Chilliwack got underway, although it was hampered by the fact that the plane’s emergency locator transmitter wasn’t signalling authorities. While the cause of the crash has yet to be estab-
Rama Tello lished, the way it imbedded itself into the trees indicated it crashed into the troublesome terrain in a nosedive position. It’s something Tello’s friend, and the Piper PA24’s previous owner, Marc Whittemore suspected could have happened, and he offered some insights into piloting late last week. By his estimate, four passengers would have put the plane near maximum weight capacity and that could have led to any number of difficulties — especially when the blistering heat of last Tuesday was factored in. “Hot weather leads to what we call higher density altitudes, which reduce the lift capability of the wing in the airplane,” he said. “So, the result is you have a low climb rate, and high mountains just to the west of Penticton, and with some smoke in the air that inhibits visibility.” That, he said, would have created less of a buffer if there was either pilot or mechanical error, and only days into the search he suspected he wouldn’t
see his friend come out alive. It’s also an area that others fear to tread. A “death route” is how an experienced Penticton pilot describes the mountainous terrain where the wreckage was found. “We use that (area) to teach people what illusions look like but we never use that access to depart the valley, ever, ever,” said Mark Holmes, the owner of Southern Skies Aviation Ltd. who has flown military and commercial jets over the course of his aviation career. The terrain rises rapidly then it shallows off for a short ways and then steepens again. When a pilot approaches it at 90 degrees it looks like the plateau extends to the top of the mountain. “It seems like you can out climb the terrain but you can’t and once you have nowhere to turn to you’re done, you have no way out,” he said. He added there is an advisory in the Canada Flight Supplement warning pilots of the dangers of using the route. The reason for the crash isn’t something Bill Yearwood of the Transportation Safety Board could corroborate immediately. Two investigators were deployed to the site at first light Thursday and the RCMP and the coroner were onsite to assist them See Search A4

House fire leaves 12 homeless Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
The Rutland fire that left 12 homeless Wednesday night came dangerously close to more levelling more Franklin Road houses. But due, in part, to the quick work of neighbours more was not lost.
“My parents were driving up to the house, and saw the fire from a distance on the road,” said Nora Argueta, who lives in the house next door to the mobile unit that burnt to the ground. “They were pretty panicked — they thought it was our house — but luckily our neighbours
knew we weren’t home so they started hosing down the side of the house.” That seemed to slow the blaze’s movement, and when fire crews arrived the fire was stopped in its tracks. Now the damage to their home and another is little more than melted vinyl siding, and scorched trees.
“They were so relieved that (fire crews) were able to stop it,” she said, adding that house insurance will offset the losses. Unfortunately, not everyone was so lucky. A dozen Rutland residents are now in the care See Fire A4

▼ STORM
Sudden winds whip up the water Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
When Ryan Huffman came ashore Tuesday afternoon amid winds so strong sand could be seen flying across the grass fields of Gyro Beach Park, sinking was the last thing on his mind. What started as a quick trip to Penticton got rocky, though, when, in the words of the RCMP, “sudden and violent wind gusts causing large waves on area lakes,” sent his boat, the Rutland Pearl II, slamming onto the beach. “We just made it. I was pulling all my goodies in, my wallet and whatever, and turned around and she had sunk,” said Huffman. Environment Canada meteorologist David Jones reported winds reached 60 to 70 kilometres per hour during the height of the hour-long storm. Huddled behind the
washrooms near the Gyro Beach parking lot, Huffman downed a beer to calm his nerves and said the afternoon was hairy. His Rutland Pearl I sank 16 times in four years, he said, pointing out this was the first time his new boat has taken on water. Huffman was among the first calls for boats in distress in what quickly became an afternoon full of such events. The winds caused power outages throughout Kelowna and West Kelowna, triggering false alarms in many homes and businesses. From kayakers in distress to downed power lines and houseboats slamming onto shore, the afternoon storm had emergency services hopping. At press time, there were no serious injuries reported.

Police catch robberysuspect Mounties caught the man they believe satiated his hunger for robbery Monday, by holding up three local fast food joints in one night. “The 36-year-old Kelowna resident was arrested without incident behind a business near Dilworth Drive and Springfield Road,” said Const. Steve Holmes. The man faces three counts of robbery. The targets of the robber were the Tim Hortons on Highway 33, the Subway on Leckie Road and the Subway on Harvey Avenue. Anthony Dana Cartland appeared in court Thursday and was remanded in custody to reappear Sept. 2.

Investors show him the money STAF REPORTER
Another local success story could be in the offing. Adam Scorgie, the Kelowna man behind the marijuana-de-mystifying documentary The Union: The Business of Getting High has raised the money he needs for his next movie venture. “We did it—we hit our goal,” he said, Thursday, after he learned he met the $24,000 target set to start a new project at the 11th hour. “I’m off to Vancouver today to interview Canuck (hockey) legend Gino Odjick as part of the Ice Guardians project.” That film will be about NHL “enforcers.”
“I compare it to the (film) The Wrestler,” he said, of what makes the topic appealing. “We all consider ourselves underdogs. Most of us are hustling every day to break through and that’s what these guys are like. They’re sacrificing their bodies for a couple minutes of ice-time.” Scorgie raised money through kickstarter.com— an online funding platform for artists, designers and filmmakers. If he didn’t get $24,000 in the 60-day allotted time set by the site, he wasn’t going to get a cent. While fundraising got to a slow start, Scorgie was at 70 per cent a week ago. He made it with just hours to spare beforedeadline.

in their investigation. He said the flight went down at a steep angle not disturbing the trees and brush in its path, and obscuring view of the plane. An early discovery of the aircraft came as some surprise to representatives of the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre, who had earlier estimated it could take weeks if not months to yield any results. The centre deployed
an enormous amount of resources, which included two Cormorant helicopters, three Buffalo and one Aurora aircraft from 19 Wing Comox, one CC130 Hercules plane from 17 Wing Winnipeg along with 15 Provincial Emergency Program and Civilian Air Search and Rescue Association aircraft. The search covered 18,000-square-kilometres over land and water. with files Penticton Western News
▼ BANKING
School district already banking smart The Central Oknagan School District is ahead of the game on money-saving banking service consolidations suggested by the Auditor General. But new policies in how the province delivers funding to districts may end up costing the districts in a different way. B.C. school districts have started to amalgamate their payroll and business administration systems, and they should do the same with their banking and investments, Auditor General John Doyle says. In a report on how colleges and school districts manage their money, Doyle found that different organizations keep widely varying amounts of cash on hand, and some report that they are reluctant to shop around for banking services because of the time and cost involved in
Margaret MacDiarmid switching banks. “Although colleges and school districts use individually competitive procurement processes for banking and investment services, we doubt that they are able to be obtaining overall best value to government,” Doyle said in a report released Wednesday. “Given the size of government banking requirements, the central coordination of procurement for these services could bene-
fit colleges and school districts substantially.” As students get ready to return to classrooms, some of B.C.’s 60 school districts are implementing a shared system for payroll, vacation and substitute teacher scheduling, accounts payable and receivable, financial reporting and travel expenses. Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid announced in May that the common business system will be implemented first in Kamloops-Thompson, Surrey, Vancouver and North Vancouver districts, because they are large districts whose computer systems are in need of replacement. Local school district secretary-treasurer Larry Paul noted the district is essentially a very large cash company. In dealing with a sin-
Esthetician & Nail Technician
gle bank, the school district basically pays no fees due to the volume of business it brings. “I’d struggle to see where they’d find large savings in our particular case.” Paul noted that a smaller district without the volume of financial business might benefit from joining the school district. An additional concern on the school district’s part is that the province has changed the way the school district receives cash. Paul said the grants are now delivered on a “justin-time” basis, affecting the amount of cash in district accounts and subsequently their banking fees. “Your discounts to zero were based on a certain balance in the account on an average basis.” Paul pointed out that
between the district investments and their cash in the bank, they generated enough business for the bank that they didn’t have to charge fees to the district. “On the whole, we really didn’t pay any bank charges.” With cash balances to decline for the school district, Paul noted the bank may look at the arrangement and consider recapturing some of the administrative costs. He pointed out such declines can be avoided in the short term by resorting to the district’s line of credit or liquidating investments, but keeping on top of the situation demands closer monitoring by district staff. He pointed out if there is a timing error in grants coming from the province, the district has to make sure there is money available.

Wine-fed beef still on the menu Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Not even the government wants to come between local cattle and their bovine-sized servings of Okanagan wine. Despite reports that the Canadian Inspection Food Agency was forcing the agricultural entrepreneurs at Kelowna’s Sezmu Meats to stop doling out regular servings of vino to their cows, the flavour-enhancing practice will carry on. “We actually just got a letter (Wednesday) night, saying they are letting us continue what we are doing,” said Janice Ravndahl, who along with Darrel Timm started marketing wine-fed local beef last year. “They do have a few requests they would like us to do and we will gladly comply with them. So, we will keep making wine-fed beef, available in the Okanagan, as long as I can produce it.” For the better part of the last year their business has been in the spotlight for raising the bar on the flavour and value of local cattle. Offering a daily dose of feed laced with a litre of locally produced red wine that is too lowgrade for human palates, the pair realized they had stumbled upon a recipe for success. Then, with the help of a business mentor from Thompson Rivers University, connections were built between Sezmu Meats, Southern Plus Feedlots and local chefs. That resulted in a tasting for members of the Okanagan Chefs’ Association where its members chose Sezmu beef above all oth-
ers, in a blind tasting. Since then it’s been available at Cabana Bar and Grille, Duffer’s Le Plateau, Quails’ Gate’s Old Vines, Mission Hill’s Terrace and Gray Monk’s Grapevine, among others. But all of the attention had a downside that reared its head last week. “We had a call from the CFIA and they mentioned they had a concern about wine and the beef,” said Ravndahl. “I told them, as far as I was concerned, most of the ingredients in the wine are listed on the approved feed list.” The food inspection agency said there was a difference between the ingredients that make wine, and wine itself, so Ravndahl thought it was the end of their burgeoning enterprise. But then some good news. “In this instance, while
the product used (wine byproducts) was not an approved feed item, there is no risk to human safety,” said the letter from Tim O’Connor manager of media relations for the CFIA. “CFIA is supportive of industry innovation. We are co-operative and will review and assess any application for a new feed requested to be added to the approved list of feeds. In this case, O’Connor said the issue was that the cows were being fed lees, a wine byproduct, and that practice was stopped, satisfying the CFIA. Now Ravndahl will work with the agency to better deal with their regulations. “They had officially stated that they are not worried people are being harmed, they were just concerned about what was going into the cattle feed,” said Ravandahl.

SOUTH OKANAGAN EVENTS CENTRE
Prospera Place general manager heading south Kelowna’s loss is Penticton’s gain. After two months without a general manager for the South Okanagan Events Centre and other facilities, Global Spectrum has announced a permanent replacement for Curtis Webb, who transferred to thecompany’s Ohio operation in June. In conjunction with the City of Penticton, Global Spectrum announced that Dean Clarke has been appointed as general manager for the campus of sports, entertainment and convention venues the company manages on behalf of the city of Penticton.
Clarke will take over starting on Sept. 20. Clarke joins Global Spectrum after more than a decade working for RG Properties, in recent years in as general manager of Prospera Place in Kelowna. Clarke, a 15-year veteran of the public assembly venue management industry, will oversee the day-to-day operation of the 60,000-sq. ft. Penticton Trade & Convention Centre, Memorial Arena, the South Okanagan Events Centre — home to the Penticton Vees — and the Okanagan Hockey School Training Centre, which houses both the hockey school and the
Penticton Lakers. At the end of June, Webb, who ran the cityowned facilities from the time Penticton contracted their operation to Global Spectrum was promoted to a position in Cleveland, moving to Ohio to manage the 14,000-seat Wolstein Center at Cleveland State University. Over the summer, the general manager duties were handled by GS senior manager Barry Strafacci acting as interim manager for the facilities until the replacement was chosen. “Dean is a terrific leader who brings with him many new and exciting opportunities for the SOEC and for the en-
tire Penticton region,” said Global Spectrum chief operating officer John Page. After attending Carleton University, Clarke began his career as the operations supervisor at the Corel Centre in Ottawa in 1995 before moving on to Maple Leaf Gardens and the Air Canada Centre in Toronto as Manager of Facility Services. Clarke moved to the Okanagan in 1999 to assume the role of director of operations at Prospera Place, as well as the 7,000 seat Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre in Victoria, He completed further training in his field in 2003 from the Internation-

Now nearly 15 years later, I’m training again. Whether it’s for exercise, acquiring skills, or as a sporting lifestyle, there’s nowhere else I’d rather be training.

Karate really is the ‘whole package’. It stimulates the mind, body and soul. It is very challenging and rewarding without ever being boring! It really is more of a way of life than ‘just another sport’. I find that the benefits that I have gained through my Karate training have carried over into my daily life as well. I have more self confidence and self awareness not to mention, I have never been this fit before in my entire life! For anyone looking for a fun, safe, rewarding and challenging environment, I would highly recommend Tom Mah School of Karate.

A man who wanted to hide his stash from the cops learned the Mounties always get their man—or at least, evidence. On Wednesday afternoon two cops patrolling the area of Leon and Ellis, spotted a drug deal in a car, said Const. Steve Holmes. Police stopped the vehicle on Ellis Street, saw drug paraphernalia inside and a woman and male passenger were arrested for possession of a controlled substance. The man was found to be hiding” a wrapped piece of crack cocaine in his mouth. He was issued a ticket for possession of drug paraphernalia.

Friends of missing Kelowna man Owen Rooney have turned to Facebook as they wait for news about the man’s whereabouts. Rooney, a 24-yearold originally from Australia, was last seen at the
Grand Forks Hospital 11 days ago. Police report that about 8 p.m. on Aug. 14, Rooney was sitting outside the west side of the hospital on a picnic table. He left his backpack on the hospital grounds.
RCMP note that Rooney is currently a Kelowna resident and suggest he may have headed in that directions. Rooney is five-feet, nine-inches tall, weighs 160 pounds, has very short brown hair and had bruis-
es on his face. He was last seen wearing a dark T-shirt and three-quarter length shorts. A Facebook page has been set up by an Australian native that includes a link to the RCMP news release and asks “every-
NDP leader talks to students NDP leader Carole James was scheduled to be in Kelowna today to talk education. James, along with NDP education critic Dawn Black, was to meet with students from UBCO and Okanagan College and participate in a roundtable discussion. The discussion about post-secondary education, was to take place during the noon hour at the UBCO campus. While the NDP leader has been touring the province talking about a host of issues related to the province’s economic health, the controversial issue of the Harmonized Sales Tax has been at the forefront of the her mind. She has said her MLAs are ready to return to the Legislature at any time to vote on the future of the tax, a vote she and antiHST campaigners want to see as a free vote.

MLAs will tackle harmonized sales tax petition on Sept. 8 Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
VICTORIA—The B.C. Liberal government should accept the people’s verdict quickly and make
a deal with Ottawa to get out of the harmonized sales tax. That’s the message from an NDP member of the committee that has until December to decide
what to do with B.C.’s first successful citizen initiative. Victoria-Swan Lake MLA Rob Fleming says the low-profile committee should not get into a dis-
cussion about what to do about the costs of bringing back the provincial sales tax, such as the $1.6 billion federal transition fund that is already being spent.
“This was something that was cooked up in the political backrooms,” Fleming said in an interview. “There is a legislative fix on offer thanks to the
people of British Columbia, but there are going to be some things that have to be solved politically between his government and Ottawa in terms of the $1.6 billion and other

things.” Asked if that means Ottawa should forgive the transition fund, Fleming said federal politicians in B.C. are also feeling the heat. “The federal MPs, Conservatives, face the same electorate,” Fleming said. “They clearly don’t want to own the responsibility for introducing the HST. In fact I would suggest that, seeing how the people of B.C. have reacted, they probably want to be seen as helpful in getting this government out of a jam that they’ve forced upon British Columbians.” The first-ever meeting of the Select Standing Committee on Legislative Initiatives has been set for Sept. 8, to begin dealing with the citizen petition to scrap the HST. Fleming called it a “conveyancing committee” that should restrict itself to deciding whether the petition should be debated in the Legislature or put to a province-wide vote in 2011. Finance Minister Colin Hansen declined to comment on what or when the committee should decide, but he has repeatedly warned about the notion that voters should directly decide on tax questions. “If you did that, we wouldn’t have any taxes, and we wouldn’t have any government services,” Hansen said in a recent radio interview. “Our job is to make sure we design a tax system that is fair, and is the most effective in not being a drag on the economy.”

The joy of heading outdoors
W
hether it’s finches squabbling over a few seeds at the feeder; the constant, irritating cheep, cheep, cheep of osprey chicks waiting impatiently for another fish to be brought to their aerie; or kingfishers fishing for dinner, birds are really interesting to watch and listen to. I think my favourite sound is the call of the loon on a wilderness lake. It’s so evocative of the peace and yet excitement of being in a wild place, sharing it with deer and bears, osprey and ducks, rabbits and voles. I’m not quite as excited about sharing my place with any of them, but I love it when they share their places with me. Perhaps it’s the place that’s magic, not just the inhabitants, the wild things themselves. There’s an osprey nest, a jumbled thicket of sticks and grasses high in a dead pine tree adjacent to a favourite upland lake, where we’ve watched several generations of young as they harassed their parents to hurry up and bring another of those slimy, wriggling fish for them to feast on. We recently camped near enough that mom would give us a warning if we were outside when she swooped by on another pass of the water, and with their huge wingspread, it felt threaten-
TRAIL MIX
Judie Steeves ing when she bore down on us. We’ve watched as she deftly carried a large trout, head first so its flapping wouldn’t prevent her from keeping on course, up to calm the insistent noise coming from the messy nest. We sympathized because we’d have a moment of peace too. But, when things calmed down above us, in front of us there’d be a hullabaloo from the water as the loons taught their young ones how to fish for themselves. It’s amazing how long they can swim underwater. They must be very strong underwater swimmers because they surface a long way from where they dove. Yet, they do not exhibit the same grace when taking off from the water. It looks as if they’ll never sever the bonds of earth to get free of the water, with their fat bodies lumbering to take to the sky. We’re very lucky to have a compact, complete, concise and accurate guide to local birds, published by Heritage House Publishing, called Birds of Interior B.C. and
the Rockies, by Richard Cannings with Harry Nehls, Mike Denny, and Dave Trochlell. It’s perfect to tuck into the backpack or take in the car on a trip, but it’s not really a coffee table book, although it has excellent photographs. Now, Lone Pine Publishing has come out with a hard-cover volume called Birds of Canada, by Tyler Hoar, Ken De Smet, R. Wayne Campbell and Gregory Kennedy, with contributions from Krista Kabume. There’s some quite good photography, though CapNews photographer Sean Connor has taken lots of better photos of some birds around here. It seems a shame to me that bird books customarily list photographers in a long list at the back of the book instead of on the photo itself. Bird photography is tricky and I think the photographers deserve more notice than in a long list few will ever refer to. The illustrations in Birds of Canada are quite lovely and the descrip-
tions very detailed. This is not a book I’d want to lug around in the field. It’s for home reference. After all, not only is it a hard cover book, but it also includes birds found throughout Canada, while Birds of Interior B.C. covers those likely to be found locally. I must admit, both books outshine my old standby Field Guide to Western Birds by Roger Tory Peterson. Of course, mine is dated 1961 and I imagine there are newer versions. This new reference work is well done and worth picking up, perhaps as a gift for your favourite outdoors person. There are a number of decent birding spots around Kelowna, including Sibell Maude-Roxby Bird Sanctuary on Francis Avenue, just off Abbott Street, near the hospital; Woodhaven Nature Conservancy on Raymer Road, but keep an eye out for bears out at this time of year; Robert Lake, on Valley Road in Glenmore, behind UBC-O; Chiches-

vance of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s annual tour of Canada’s North. This week he visited Whitehorse as well as Churchill, Manitoba, and Resolute Bay, Nunavut. In Churchill, he announced Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, has been chosen as the location of Canada’s new High Arctic Research Station. Harper has made the North a priority for the government because it is a priority for Canadians. Throughout Canada’s history, the north has shaped our culture and our character. As I met with various Yukon residents, including folks like Yukon Premier Dennis Fentie, I listened and learned how Canadians have drawn strength from those in the North who have shown courage and leadership in taking on the great chal-
lenges of this land. That’s why the government has launched an ambitious four-part Northern strategy, focusing on asserting and defending Canada’s sovereignty, protecting the unique and fragile Arctic ecosystem, to develop a strong Northern economy and encourage good governance, local control and opportunity for northerners. The High Arctic Research Station in Cambridge Bay will be a world-class, year-round, multidisciplinary facility exploring the cutting edge of Arctic science and technology. It will create jobs, foster economic and social development and help us understand and protect our northern environment. I am excited about the future for Canada. Wherever I travel in
our great nation, I feel a growing optimism for the future and a sense that 2010 is our year in the international spotlight. Sixty-five years ago, Canadians liberated the Netherlands from tyranny. Today, we’re helping the people of Haiti rebuild their country after a devastating earthquake. Earlier this year, Vancouver and Whistler hosted the world and our Olympic and Paralympic athletes made us even prouder to be Canadian. I know this winning spirit will carry forward to 2011, when, in January, Kelowna will be the first city outside Europe to host the International Children’s Games. But Canada is not an island and we’re aware that the economic recovery is still fragile in spite of our strong economic fundamentals.
Ron Cannan Action continues to be needed which is why the government introduced Canada’s Economic Action Plan over two years, consisting of timely, targeted and temporary economic stimulus measures. Across Canada our plan has helped to create nearly 400,000 jobs since last July (meanwhile, 225,000 jobs have been saved through expanded work-sharing agreements benefiting several Okanagan workers), and our

Fire officials say the people who lost their home in a fire on Sunday evening were not insured. Just before 5 p.m., fire crews were called to 3878 Lakeshore Rd. and arrived to find heavy smoke and fire conditions coming from a mobile home in the Hiawatha mobile home park, said assistant fire chief Thomas Doherty. “The mobile home sustained severe damage to the interior as well as the outer deck,” he said. “A quick response by fire crews who were only minutes away contained the fire to the one unit.” However, the unit was totally destroyed. The cause of the fire was a pot left on the stove, said Doherty. Three people who were in the home at the time of the fire managed to escape safely and were cared for by Emergency Social Services, which typically offers up three nights’ accommodations for people displaced by disaster. ••• Meanwhile, the cause of a fire on a rooftop downtown wasn’t able to be determined, fire officials say. Fire crews were called to Bernard Avenue just after 8:30 a.m. on Sunday after multiple reports of visible flames showing from a roof top. “First arriving crews confirmed with witnesses that there was a fire on a roof top balcony,” said assistant fire chief Thomas Doherty. They learned that the fire, which was contained to a balcony area, had been extinguished by people on site. No injuries were reported in relation to the fire.

tation program on Vancouver Island. As the only animal welfare organization in B.C. that is legislated to post properties, issue warrants and seize animals, the organization is extremely busy. “Once an animal is seized, we need to house it, vaccinate or perhaps do surgery, care and rehabilitate the animals until the court case is complete,” explains Walker. “This takes time and resources.” The BCSPCA depends heavily on the support of the community and corporate partners to continue to do this very important work in our community. The Kelowna branch will hold their largest fundraiser of the year on Sept. 12 at City Park. Mayor Sharon Shepherd will kick off the event with a three-kilometre dog walk at 10:30 a.m. and the one-kilometre “furry scurry” at 11 a.m. Vendors will be on hand selling their wares and there will be dog activities and demonstrations, including the Central Okanagan dog agility team and the avalanche rescue team.

Photog’s focus on food bank Helping the Kelowna Food Bank this fall is as easy as getting your picture taken. Elizabeth and Mike Soergel, of Aviva Studios, will raise funds for the food bank next month during Christmas in September. The event will run Sept. 25. and 26. It’s a weekend for families, couples and individuals to have professional portraits taken in support of the local food bank. “I’m really excited about this project,” said Soergel. “It’s a great way
for us to get into the spirit of giving early while providing the community with a great opportunity to support our local food bank”. All participants will receive a half-hour studio portrait session with a set of 25 custom Christmas Cards for $50 when they donate a bag of non-perishable food items. Items that are always in demand are baby food, tuna, canned meat and soup, just to name a few. “We currently provide help to approxi-
mately 40,000 people a year through our location, and 40 per cent of those are children,” said Rob Weller, operations manager at the food bank. “Projects like Christmas in September are a great way to help maintain the levels we require to support these needs.” Space is limited for the photographic fundraiser so anyone interested should call to book an appointment. For more details, contact Aviva Studios at 250-317-4395 or 250-863-0630.

International students can be an asset for many institutions
S
chools without borders could be the new catch phrase for higher education in the next decade as universities and colleges aim to build higher international student enrolments. Today there are about
three million students studying at a university or college outside of their country of origin. These international students most often will enrol in an English language university or college in Britain, the United States, Canada or Aus-
tralia. Yet non-English speaking countries such as Germany, France and the Netherlands have also witnessed enrolment increases. According to recent data from the Organization of Economic Development and Cooper-
ation, 20 per cent of international students will enrol in an American school - 12 per cent of all international student enroll in Britain. These two countries attract the largest share of the international student pool. For Britain these inter-

national students bring in $39.4 billion in higher education revenue. On average, British citizens pay about $5,400 for one year of school, similar to Canadian tuition fees. On the other hand, the universities and colleges can charge international students significantly more, usually whatever the market dictates. At Cambridge University an international student can expect to pay over $23,000 per year to attend. This money in turn allows the university to keep fees lower for British students (at rates stipulated by the government) and expand programming. Attracting international students for some schools is big business. At the London School of Economics, 50 per cent of their undergrad student population and 80 per cent of their graduate students are international students. International student enrolments go up and down based on shifts in the world economy. They are also susceptible to a number of conditions such as social unrest, foreign governments, epidemics, and world disas-
SCHOOL’S IN
Jane Muskens ters, just to name a few. Major impacts on international student enrolments have included the bombing of the world trade centre on September 11, 2001.
‘‘
INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ENROLMENTS GO UP AND DOWN BASED ON SHIFTS IN THE WORLD ECONOMY.
This led to tighter security and a reduction in the number of international student visas issued by the U.S. - leading to an increase in international student enrolments in Britain, Canada and Australia. More recent issues have included the murder of an Indian international student in Australia in January 2010. This event was fol-
lowed by a series of attacks on Indian men on various Australia campuses resulting in a 10 per cent decrease in international student enrolments from that country. Currently at Okanagan College we have witnessed a substantial increase in applications from students in India. Governments can also influence international student rates. In Venezuela citizens are unable to convert large funds into foreign currency. They are capped at about $2,500 per year, which makes it very difficult to study abroad. Other issues include government restrictions on programs and funding, which limit career options for students and their ability to move from one semester to the next. These are some of the challenges facing colleges and universities as they attract and retain international students. Student mobility is definitely on the rise and I suspect we will see even more international students finding their way into our schools.

Kelowna couple drawn to Ironman Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Having successfully met the challenge of her first Ironman Canada 12 months ago, Jen Koga knows mostly what to expect in 2010. Still, the Kelowna triathlete considers this Sunday’s race in Penticton to be every bit as daunting as the first. “I was intimidated last year and I am just as much this year,” Jen Koga said with a laugh. “I have the training routine down and I know what to expect, but it’s still pretty scary. Hopefully some of that will go away once the race starts.” Despite going into last year’s race as a bundle of nerves, Koga finished her first Ironman in 12 hours 47 minutes. Ultimately, she would like to set a new personal best this Sunday, but admits she would be satisfied with simply finishing the three-
stage race. And while Jen is competing in the Ironman for the second time, her husband, John Koga, will take on the 3.8 km swim, 180 km bike ride and 42 km run in the South Okanagan for the third time in six years. He competed in both 2004 and 2009, but unlike the first two races, John heads into this year’s Ironman with some questions about his physical capabilities. Koga suffered a torn cartilage in his right knee a month ago and hasn’t run since. He’ll find out Sunday how his body responds. “I’m really not sure how the knee is going to react, how it’ll hold up but I’m going to give it a try,” said John Koga, whose PB is 11 hours 55 minutes. “I guess it’s going to be like an experiment. The good thing is, there’s no stress about trying to beat
a certain time. I’m just going out to try and finish.” Like all athletes who take on extreme physical and mental challenges, the Kogas have both been asked why they would run the Ironman in the first place. “It’s just the challenge,” Jen answered, “to see what your body can do.” As for John’s take on the hundreds of hours of training leading up to a grueling day of swimming, biking and running, he says the lifestyle of a triathlete simply gets in your blood. “It’s almost an addiction,” he said. “You feel tired, you can feel bad when you’re out there training…but I think you actually feel worse if you don’t do it. It’s something I feel like I need to do.” In addition to the thrill of competing the race itself, the Kogas are once again looking forward to
the festive and hospitable atmosphere which envelopes Ironman Canada every year in Penticton. “It’s a good feeling to be there,” John said. “Main street, with all the people there is pretty nice. It helps a lot and you can feed off the crowd.” The Kogas, who are coached by longtime local triathlete Dave Kirk, are just two of the more than 40 Kelowna and area athletes who are expected to line up for the start of Ironman Canada on Sunday morning. Among the most notable of locals competing is Laurelee Welder who will be trying to win her third age group title in as many years. Welder holds the course records in both the women’s 50 to 54 age division (11:16:02 in 2008) and the 55 to 59 age class (11:19:48 in 2009).

Big numbers to show up at Kelowna Rockets’ main camp Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
If there is indeed strength in numbers, then the Kelowna Rockets should have a head start on assembling a formidable roster for the 2010-11 Western Hockey League campaign. In the club’s largest main training camp in recent memory, as many as 70 players—split into four teams—will take to the ice next week at the Capital News Centre.
Aside from the graduation of over-ager Lucas Bloodoff and the likely departure of Brandon McMillan to the pro ranks, the Rockets will return virtually their entire corps of forwards from last season. So with vacancies up front rather scarce and, with a large and skilled group of new candidates joining the fray, the Rockets’ brain trust expects a long and intense battle for jobs. “There’s going to be
some really good competition,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “We have a really strong group of forwards coming in and there are only so many jobs. The guys who were already here are going to be pushed, so we look at that as a real positive.” The Rockets will be looking to bolster an already substantive forward lineup, led by veterans Evan Bloodoff, Geordie Wudrick, Shane McColgan, Brett Bulmer and Mitchell Callahan.
Newcomers up front pushing for employment will include the team’s 2010 import picks, Andreas Stene from Norway and Slovakian Gal Koren. Adding drama to mix will be Abbotsford’s Jason Siebert, the club’s first pick in the 2009 bantam draft; Zach Franco, 17, a top prospect from Winnipeg; and Colton Sissons, the North Vancouver product who played last season with the BCHL’s Westside Warriors.

Barrie lands a job with the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche.

With the excessive injury woes suffered by the club last season, Huska knows how crucial depth is to an organization.
Only Mitchell Callahan played in all 72 regular season games last season as the Rockets regularly struggled to put a full lineup together. At one point last season, Kelowna was missing eight regulars due to injury, while a ninth, Brandon McMillan, was at the World Junior Championship.

Cameron wins Invitational on first try The first time was a charm for Haley Cameron. The 19-year-old member of the UBC Thunderbirds women’s golf team won the Kelowna Ladies Invitational in her first ever appearance at the annual tournament. Cameron’s two round score of 5-over-par 151 (75-76) earned the KSS grad a four-shot victory over the Okanagan Club’s Chelsey Cooper Tuesday at the Kelowna Golf and Country Club.
With friend and golfing buddy Megan Osland on the bag as her caddie, Cameron played some of her best golf of the summer. “I would say my overall ball-striking was pretty good, probably better than in most tournaments I’ve played in lately,” said Cameron. “It was awesome having Megan with me. She helped me mentally and towards the end kept me pretty calm when things got a little nerve-wrack-
ing.” Tara Roden, Diani Ferracuti and Alyssa Human tied for third at 157. Kate Weir was sixth with a 158 total, with Jen Woods another two shots back in seventh. Because only players 19 years and older are permitted to play in the event, it was Cameron’s debut at the Kelowna Ladies Invitational—and the result couldn’t have been more satisfying. Not surprisingly Cameron hopes her success
will carry over into fall competition at university, her sophomore season with the UBC team. “It should be huge for my confidence,” she said. “I had kind of a slow summer season, so to play well and post a couple of good scores at the end is really important for me.” Cameron and the Thunderbirds will play their first tournament of the new collegiate season Sept. 10 to 12 at Gonzaga University in Spokane. whenerson@kelownacapnews.com

A 20-year-old product of Salmon Arm, Plock has been a key component in the Sun defense this season, which has allowed a league-low 55 points this season and boasts
a league-high 24 takeaways. Against Chilliwack, Plock made three tackles, knocked down a pass, forced a fumble, recovered a blocked punt for a touchdown, and capped off his night with a sack. As for Shott, the Vancouver native set a personal best Saturday with a 51yard field goal. He also added six converts, one tackle and seven kick-offs for 417 yards. Shott punted four times and grossed 154 yards. The offensive player of the week honour

Team raises funds for nationals The Kelowna United U16 boys soccer team is feverishly raising funds for their trip to the nationals this fall in Vaughn, Ont. The B.C. champions are looking to raise $30,000 as they make plans to compete at the BMO National Championships, Oct. 6 to 11. Training sessions for the local squad are under way as the players have been taking part in a camp in Kelowna with provincial and national development coaches. As part of their prep-
aration leading up to the Canadian championship, United will play in a tournament in Coquitlam on the September long weekend. The team’s major fundraising event is planned for Sept. 11 at Dakoda’s and will feature silent auction items and prizes. United has currently raised about $3,000 towards its $30,000 goal and is looking for both corporate and private sponsorship to help the team reach its target. “We have a long way
to go and, with the economic downturn, corporate sponsorship has been slowing coming in,” said Bruce Stevens, a parent who is assisting with fundraising. “But the boys are working hard, the parents are all involved, trying to get any support we can. The nationals are a once in lifetime opportunity and the boys certainly recognize that.” To provide sponsorship or donations, or for tickets to the fundraiser, contact Bruce Stevens at 250-491-0314.

▼ BC-YUKON SUMMER SKATE
Skaters strike gold at summer competition The Kelowna Skating Club struck for 16 medals, including six gold at the B.C.-Yukon Summer Skate competition at Burnaby Eight Rinks. The event, held last weekend, brought together more than 800 skaters from Canada, the U.S., Poland, Singapore and Chinese Taipei. Kelowna Club skaters finished just behind host Burnaby in the final medal count, with the host club ending the compe-
t
tition with 21 medals, including eight gold. The highlight event for Kelowna skaters may well have been the pre-novice women’s group three event where Haley Sales, Dana Bobyn and Monika Randall finished 1-23, respectively, in the short program.

CIRQUE DU SOLEIL’S highbar act is just one of the many dramatic performances in Alegria.
Alegria a joyful spectacle to behold Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Rushing into Cirque du Soleil for the opening night of Alegria, the air feels electric. And as a matter of fact, a girl in an electric blue dress is the first to be serenaded by a bevy of clowns in the show’s opening act, handling it admirably with a quick acknowledgment to the rest of the audience. As with any good circus show, she’s plucked from the audience in part to entertain and in part to set the stage for the magical evening to follow. Anything could happen here tonight, these clowns seem to suggest. One might even run away with the show. Yet this is no Joe Schmoe circus. No freaks
and geeks and cheesy clowns here. When Cirque du Soleil comes to town, one can rest assured the masters of artistry, illusion, humour and pizzazz have summoned all of their talents to put on a performance so precisely orchestrated Barbra Streisand herself couldn’t match its perfection. The scaled-down version of Alegria will make five Canadian stops, harkening back to the company’s debut in 1994 when the show introduced the world to a Québecois phenomenon described as part circus, part street performance. And as the opening dance number pops along to the periodic shouts of “alegria,” one realizes there really isn’t much of a stage here at all, though it feels like a big-time show. Masterfully slipped into half of Prospera
Place, the set adequately builds the illusion of the big top without losing the intimate sensation the smaller setting creates. In previewing Alegria’s arrival, the Capital News has already been told a Cirque cast is dynamic not just in its movement on stage, but with culture and the array of nationalities represented. The message seems irrelevant in the interviews leading up to this moment but as the cast bounces on stage, there is an air of worldliness one cannot really place without scrutinizing the made-up faces and analyzing the shapes and sizes of the bodies and wide range of characters floating over the stage. Everything has been thought of for this performance, the costuming constantly adapting to suit the tricks of the artists and the updates in fab-

ric.
From the mesh costumes the acrobats tumble along the trampoline track in, to the spiderlike jewel adorning the full-body Hula hoop artist’s chest, small details paint the larger picture for those willing to delve into the imaginary. And for those who simply love a good beat, the Klezmer band leaves one oom-pa-pa-ing in one’s chair along with the trains and motorbikes, choo- choos and whoot-whoots the clowns drag across the stage, broken only by the graceful individual performers who variously spin fire knives and flip through the air on the trapeze, leaving not a moment of dread. Alegria lives up to its joyful name. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

eported real-life couple Drew Barrymore and Justin Long star together in Going the Distance, the story of a couple who try to maintain a long-distance relationship. A chance meeting in a bar turns into a fullfledged summer fling, but Erin (Barrymore)and Garrett (Long) do not expect the relationship to last when she returns home to San Francisco and he stays in New York. Garrett’s friends, Box and Dan, joke about his pre-flight calorie-cutting and his full-time relationship with his cell phone— they don’t like losing their best drinking buddy to yet another rocky romance. At the same time, Erin’s high-strung, overprotective married sister, Corrine, wants to keep Erin from heading down an all-too-familiar road. But despite the opposite coasts, the nay-saying friends and family, and a few unexpected temptations, the couple just might have found some-

The film is told from the perspective of a disillusioned Protestant minister who, after years of performing exorcisms, decides to participate in a documentary chronicling his last exorcism while exposing the fraud of his ministry. After receiving a letter from a farmer asking for help in driving out the devil, he meets the farmer’s afflicted daughter.

Volunteer as a friendly listening ear N
ewcomers to Canada, single parents and people in crisis need volunteers to help them. Are you interested? Kelowna Community Resources wants to partner with you in meeting these needs. In the Host Program for Immigrants, volunteers help newcomers practise English and adapt to living in our community. “There can be many unforeseen frustrations,” explains coordinator Doreen Rosvold. “Different climates, school systems, holiday celebrations and social expectations for child rearing can be mystifying.”
Volunteer hosts offer time, conversation and encouragement. In return, volunteers gain a fresh perspective and deeper understanding of multicultural issues. Individual adults or youth, families or groups are carefully screened, trained and matched as hosts. “Many of our host matches evolve into close, lasting friendships,” adds Rosvold. Perhaps you would
rather befriend a single mother in a home visiting program. Through friendship, help is offered in areas of parenting, life skills and accessing resources. “A listening ear and a practical chat is often valued the most,” says Bev Colbow, Family Friend program coordinator. A Spring Fling, Halloween Bash and Christmas Party are planned to involved all the volunteers
with people experiencing disappointment, isolation, loneliness, financial hardship, and even suicidal thoughts,” cautions coordinator Lynne Larente. “With training and experience, volunteers learn valuable skills and find an enriching way to give back to our community,” says Larente. Check out these volunteer opportunities at the Kelowna Community Resources web site or give us a call.

Authors shortlisted for George Ryga Award There’s no shortage of talented writers who are grappling with the social issues of the day, as the judges for the eighth annual George Ryga Award for Social Awareness in B.C. writing and publishing have learned. The George Ryga Centre, BC BookWorld, CBC Radio One and Okanagan College recently announced the shortlist for this year’s George Ryga Award.
In alphabetical order (by writer’s last name), the top three books submitted for the award are: God Of Missed Connections, by Elizabeth Bachinsky (Nightwood Editions), A Thousand Dreams, by Larry Campbell, Neil Boyd and Lori Culbert (Greystone), and Where The Blood Mixes, by Kevin Loring (Talonbooks). “Once again, we received a large field of
well-written submissions this year,” said Okanagan College’s John Lent, who is among the readers assessing the submissions. The other readers are Reg Kienast, Jane Maskell, Ken Smedley and Liz Wallberg. “It’s maybe a sign of these times that this award draws such strength from the writing community—so many strong responses,” Lent said. “If anyone ever thought writ-

Volunteers benefit from regular meetings for exchange of information. “Responding to the challenges of single parenthood are met with a mixture of knowledge, skills, confidence and fun,” says Colbow. Responding to individuals in crisis is less about friendship and more about active listening and resourcefulness. Volunteers answer telephone calls in flexible shifts around the clock, seven days a week. Comprehensive training enables volunteers to assist callers in identifying their needs and finding solutions. “Crisis Line volunteers interact verbally

ers weren’t engaging in the issues of our times, the books submitted for this award would convince them otherwise. “In the end, these three books—a piece of nonfiction, a book of poems and a play—were the books that kept insisting themselves forward,” he said. This year’s Ryga Award final judge will be distinguished poet, playwrite and journalist, Greg Simison, of Moose Jaw. Simison has published three books of poetry, the last called What The Wound Remembers, as well as hundreds of newspaper columns. His work has appeared in numerous North American literary journals and periodicals. Simison has just com-
pleted another volume of poetry and a volume of humorous columns from his career as a journalist. This year’s winner will be announced in the Centre Stage Theatre in Summerland at a gala celebration of The Ryga Award at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 6, the last day of George Ryga Week. Summerland is the home of The George Ryga House and Centre and is where Ryga wrote most of his plays and novels. Excerpts from Bachinsky, Campbell and Loring’s works will be broadcast on CBC Radio One before the final winner is announced. Last year’s winner was Steven Galloway for his novel The Cellist of Sarajevo.

Sudden storm underlines danger
Y
esterday’s windstorm through the Central Okanagan, described by the RCMP as sudden and violent, was yet another reminder of the volatile nature of the weather round here. After weeks of hot, dry summer weather in British Columbia, where the risk of forest fire reached extreme, the Central Okanagan was hit with winds strong enough to prompt a steady succession of emergency calls about boats in distress on
the lake. It was another example of the need to make life jackets more than just an option for people heading out on the water. Currently, life jackets must be available for everyone on a boat but there is no law requiring that they be worn. That, it seems, is left up to the passengers’ common sense. But not all who go out on a boat seem to have that common sense. And that’s why there ought to be a law.
MAIN SWITCHBOARD
As this newspaper has called for in the past, the current rules need to change. There were people whose lives were undoubtedly saved yesterday by wearing their life jackets and that is testament to the need for making their wearing mandatory. In an area like ours, where boating is popular but weather conditions can change suddenly, wearing a lifejacket is not only advisable, it is also the aforementioned comon sense.
Every year we report about people who have ended up in the lake because of accidents that may or may not have been preventable. It’s our job to bring you the news but we would be more than happy to report that no one drowned in the lake during the year. That could go a long way to being made possible if the wearing of life jackets was made mandatory for every one on a boat.

I don’t want a politician like the people I dine with W hile it’s difficult to get excited about the frumpy Canadian politics that eat up hours of broadcast time on CPAC I’m, for this occasion alone, willing to admit to being a closet fan. Between episodes of Jersey Shore, or The Hills I sneak to the hinterlands of my channel guide, soak in a moment of Question Period and bite my nails with anticipation. Petty quips abound and, if I’m lucky, some middle aged creature will break out in an awe inspiring catty attack, not befitting of the wool suit they’re sporting. It’s really smut-TV to the power of 10. There’s the drama, there’s the
sharp dialogue, but unlike the MTV-offerings, there’s something really at stake. The most compelling draw of this inglorious pastime is watching people, who really aren’t everyday fare, navigate their worlds. And, in the case of our politicians, they’re at times making decisions that shape the way I’ll navigate mine. So, with that in mind it was with disappointment that I witnessed Michael Ignatieff do his “I’m one of you” schtick on his stop in Kelowna.
Clad in as checkered
KATHARTIC shirt, Levis and cow-
boy boots he picked up in Kamloops, he shook hands, smiled in a somewhat friendly manner and told everyone Kathy that he’s as much a loMichaels cal yokel as you’re gonna get. OK, that was a fierce paraphrase, but you get the disturbing gist. For reasons unknown, Ignatieff really wanted everyone to know that he has humble immigrant roots in this country. That his education isn’t a hindrance. That he lived abroad, but his
heart is in Canada. That, above all else, he isn’t removed from the common folk—he’s one of us. Thing is, I don’t need my politicians to be like me or the people I socialize with. Understand my point of view and acknowledge it has validity? Yes. Represent the needs of everyone to the best of their ability? Completely. Come to my house for dinner and swap stories about what happened over the work day or worse yet, repeat what pappy said to nan—no thanks. In the case of Mr. Ignatieff I understand that the faux populist pilgrimage across Canada is a matter of
necessity, if not desperation. A recent poll has Ignatieff with a reported 28 per cent support of Canadians. Apparently his political rival is considered to be more determined, brave and insightful and if voters are deluded enough to believe that, then they’re just as susceptible to believing that the icy Ignatieff is a Canadian’s dream politico. I suppose I just miss the days when Canadian politicians unabashedly said the wrong thing, and on occasion lunged at people’s throats. Is that too much to ask for?

LETTERS
Future Shop – Correction Notice
Attack on politician hurts on personal level To the editor: On Monday I attended Michael Ignatieff and his cross-Canada Liberal Express bus tour in Penticton and CedarCreek Winery in Kelowna. By way of introduction after university I became an officer in the Royal Canadian Navy, after some years I joined the City of Victoria Police Force and now, at age 58, I am retired and living in West Kelowna. I spoke directly with the Liberal leader to express my wish to see the gun registry continue. I can say Mr. Ignatieff did not disappoint me. Attending with him were six other Liberal MPs, two Liberal Senators and three local Liberal candidates. I asked all of them the same questions and told all of them my position. Today I read that Michael Ignatieff and all of the federal Liberals will vote to maintain the gun registry and should they gain power, they will vastly improve it in areas that will protect the safety of citizens and police officers all across Canada. Therefore Michael Ignatieff will certainly get my vote. Yet, although weapons, their use and their controls are extremely important to me, as I
stood there listening to this very educated and intelligent man speak on many subjects, a bad feeling started to grow in my belly. This letter is about my feelings of pride and shame for you see, as I listened to Mr. Ignatieff speak about his deep roots in Canada, some of his achievements and his vision for our future, I realized he was justifying his Canadian credentials. As Mr. Ignatieff spoke, I started to feel empathy for what he was speaking regarding his Canadian credentials, and I was forced to ask myself a question related to my own pride and shame. For you see, my son (who I am very proud of) went to Northwestern University in Chicago to do his PhD. As I stood there in Penticton and then at the winery, I had this ugly feeling that, according to Stephen Harper, I should feel shame that my son was living and studying in a foreign country. The pride I had before knowing my son had earned, and I repeat he earned a scholarship to attend one of the best universities in the world, I now should apparently, according to our present prime minister, feel shame. I was looking and listening to Mr. Ignatieff and I could relate to how it must make him feel to be so attacked in such a
Let’s hear from MLAs on gambling To the editor: I read with a great deal of interest the eloquent commentary by columnist Dr. Paul Latimer in the Aug. 20 Capital News under the heading, Online Gambling Not A Safe Bet For Government. I would like to invite my MLA, Norm Letnick, to respond in your paper to the specific points put forward by Dr. Latimer. So often it seems to me that the MLA Reports in the Capital News are mere-
ly press releases prepared for MLAs by the government. This is an excellent opportunity for our MLA to explain how he personally, in good conscience, can support the position of the Liberal government in light of the convincing and compelling arguments against government support of online gambling made by Dr. Latimer. I look forward to reading our MLA’s response. David Peterson, Kelowna
personal way—that his pride should be shame. I have to tell you that it made me feel bad. Of course Mr. Harper and his followers, I expect, would say that the ad was not aimed at my son or myself. They will most likely say it was only aimed at one person and never to anyone who had done similar things. But please know I do take it personally. How could anyone not take it that way? In a mud fight, many people get splashed and the Conservative mud has now hit my family. I am sorry I did not say this before because that ad speaks to every Canadian who has lived in another country and it hits close to my home. I ask myself if a Canadian as accomplished as Michael Ignatieff has to apologize, then who else? So there I was, wondering if I should doubt my pride regarding my Danish-born father and my foreign-educated son. Am I proud of our current prime minister, Stephen Harper? He has done things to hurt our economy, but to say I dislike him or I am not proud of him is a question I cannot answer. My father lived by the motto, If you cannot say something good, then do no harm. George Nielson, West Kelowna
often sick and starving. They are the result of human irresponsibility and cruelty—they did not choose to live that way. There is no organized group that would do trapping, but a handful of devoted women trying to make a difference and clean-up our city have dedicated countless hours to rescue the poor frightened creatures that were forced to live in misery— I am one of them. It is very demanding, stressful and frustrating work. There are dozens of cat colonies in our municipalities; the realistic estimate in our community would be 2,000 to 3,000 cats. Here’s just a few of those I trapped and removed: Black Mountain 30, Glenmore 30, St. Paul’s St. 28, around Capri 66, Rutland 48. All these cats were adopted out but the financial part is the biggest burden. Of

Against giving aid to a nuclear-capable country To the editor: Well, well, our stupid government again. Helping out the people of an atomic country. Why don’t we just let them take care of their own people by cutting their own nuklear (sic) budget, to provide the needed aid for their citizens? We must be so well
off that we can seemingly help out anyone, or a nuklear (sic) nation to provide the needed help they seemingly require. They can carry on with (their) atomic agenda as we give them the money required to take care of their own citizens. How stupid is this? This doesn’t look right
when we have so many in this country who need better health care, low cost housing and better legal aid for our working poor and senior citizens. Do you not take care of your own family (country) first, then help others if you can? Frank De Smet, Kelowna
City is full of discarded, breeding cats To the editor: The SPCA shelter is completely overcrowded again as so many times in the past. No new pets are accepted to the shelter, and the “waiting list” reached 80. Can you imagine where many of those poor animals will end up? The summer is beach and party time for the majority. For animals, however, it is the most horrible time of the year. It is the obsession society has with tiny cute kittens (and puppies) that is the main problem. There are dozens of free kittens to choose from but later, when they grow bigger, get in heat or get pregnant, hundreds are tossed into the alleys, farms, fields, garbage bins or the city dump—discarded like used furniture. So the cats that used to be someone’s pets and companions are forced to become alley cats, semiwild, fighting to survive,

course, fundraising never stops. In 2009 the BC SPCA developed a model bylaw and is offering them to all the municipalities in B.C. Eight residential associations in the city plus four animal charities all support the necessity of some animal bylaws. Education is a nice word but it would be totally naïve to think that it works for all the citizens We are hoping our city hall is listening and considering at least a couple of the model bylaws. For a start: 1. Stop pet stores from selling unaltered animals; they are only adding to the problems instead of being the leaders in our communities. Only Pet Smart got it right: The management has contracts with three animal charities and helps to adopt only homeless, spayed and vaccinated animals. What a shining example.
2. Anybody who wants to breed animals must have a license from the municipality. To advertise the sale of a dog or cat requires the licence number in the ad. It is time to be held responsible; it’s time to teach the young generation to respect all life on this planet.
Helena Pol, Kelowna P.S.: Latest news just received from New Mexico—just one year after implementing the bylaw restricting pet stores from the sale of live animals the euthanasia dropped by 35 per cent and adoptions from their SPCA increased 25 per cent.

Fighting Parkinson’s one step at a time
O
n Sept. 11, at 9 a.m. in Waterfront Park, Kelowna will host its first Parkinson’s Walk to raise funds for research to find a cure, and to provide support services for people living with Parkinson’s disease who live in this province. There are 11,000 of us who live in B.C. with this disease and more funds are needed for research so that a cure can be found soon. Parkinson’s is a debilitating disease that not only affects people over 60, but many in their 30s and 40s. As the population ages, the incidence of Parkinson is on the rise. Parkinson’s is the second most chronic neurological disorder after Alzheimer. I was officiating at a graveside at the Kelowna cemetery.
SOUL SEARCHING
Albert Baldeo Suddenly I felt a dizziness, as if I was going to fall headlong into the grave. My silent prayer was: “Lord, this hole is occupied. Let me not fall here, please. I want my own hole when the time comes.” It was the shortest graveside service I ever did. I immediately went to my doctor, who referred me to a neurologist. He informed me that I had Parkinson’s disease. The initial information left me numb. I had not heard much about this disease before.

Somehow, I had it confused with multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s. This was 21 years ago and since then I have learned a few things about Parkinson’s. Parkinson’s is a progressive neuro-degenerative disease, primarily to voluntary controlled movement. It results from the loss of cells from the part of the brain called the substantia nigra.
‘‘
IT CANNOT CRIPPLE LOVE, IT CANNOT SHATTER HOPE, IT CANNOT CORRODE FAITH.
These cells are responsible for producing the neurotransmitter chemical called dopamine, which acts as a messenger between the cells of the brain that controls the body’s movement. What are some signs and symptoms of this disease? There are no blood tests, or diagnostic imaging currently available to definitely confirm its presence. In some people, diagnosis is made easier by the presentation of the classic signs on one side of the body being; slowed movements (bradykinesia) and stiffness or rigidity. Other symptoms include depression and anxiety, masked facial features and writing difficulties, diminished voice volume and monotone voice, constipation, increased urinary problems, auto-static hypertension (low blood pressure rising from a sitting position), fatigue and sleeping disorders and non-specific sensory problems, such as numbness, pain, burning sensation and restlessness. The symptoms of Parkinson’s fluctuate
throughout the course of the disease and vary from person to person. While there is presently no cure for Parkinson’s, there are a number of treatments: both drug and therapy used to control symptoms and to improve individual’s quality of life. There are more than 100,000 Canadians living with Parkinson’s Disease. We are grateful to have an active support group which meets monthly to hear speakers and health care professionals to learn more about the disease and to support each other. We also have a fellowship breakfast-coffee meeting on the third Friday of the month. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the caregivers of those who live with Parkinson’s disease. I would also like to share some thoughts on what Parkinson’s cannot do. It is so limited, it cannot cripple love, it cannot shatter hope, it cannot corrode faith, it cannot eat away peace, it cannot destroy confidence, it cannot kill friendship, it cannot shut out memories, it cannot silence courage, it cannot invade the soul, it cannot reduce eternal life, it cannot quench the spirit. “Thanks be to God who gives us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians; 15:57 So, to all my friends who are living with Parkinson’s and to your families and all others living with chronic diseases, may God bless and strengthen you. Let’s ease the burden and walk for the cure.

Health care spending in British Columbia reaching a crisis
I
f you’re a regular reader, you won’t be surprised to hear me say our health care system is in trouble. This statement also won’t be a shock to you if you have followed the news in our country for any amount of time. We are constantly hearing about waitlists, serious shortages in physicians, nurses and health care support staff at all levels, lack of funds, an aging population and a large percentage of our trained health care providers nearing retirement. Yes, our health care system is in need of an overhaul and mental health more so than any other component. In spite of all of these shortcomings, we actually do spend a lot of money on health care—so much so that health spending is quickly taking over our provincial and federal budgets. Governments repeatedly rank health care as a top priority and in terms of dollars spent, it truly is. However, it seems like we keep throwing money into the pit while the pit keeps
HEALING MINDS
Paul Latimer getting deeper and deeper. It continues swallowing our tax dollars, but is increasingly unsustainable. Our health costs are rising at a rate we simply cannot sustain with our current tax structure. Since tax hikes are so unpopular, money is instead being quietly redirected from other programs (such as education, social services and culture) to maintain health care. Ten years ago the Conference Board of Canada reported on health care in B.C. and warned the health budget (then $8 billion) would double within 20 years. Instead, it will reach $16 billion in just two more years— eight years earlier than predicted. In the past decade, B.C. health spending has grown by 84 per cent. Over just the last three years, the provincial
health budget has gone up by $2 billion while all other areas of spending, except transportation, have decreased. Clearly, some things will need to change if we are going to continue providing decent and affordable health care to all Canadians. Our current methods of spending and planning are not sustainable and are increasingly not meeting the needs of
the population. To date, the bureaucratic approach has been to reorganize health care regions, contract out services and replace health care providers with increasingly less educated employees who cost less. Physicians have been castigated to the point where they no longer volunteer their time for the multitude of functions once done free of charge. As a

result, government now has to pay for all committee, administrative and on-call work doctors once did for free. Someone should calculate how much this has cost the system—all because the profession was not treated respectfully. Doctors and other health care providers no longer have a role in designing the system and I believe this is the biggest
problem. What we need are patient-centred, problem solving approaches to health care that work at a practical level with emphasis on primary and secondary prevention. Unfortunately, administrators and politicians do not look at health care in the same way as those who actually provide the care—so their solutions do not always reflect what is both practical and good
for the patient. In addition to a revamped health care system designed by professionals in providing care, societal problems such as children living in poverty and the mentally ill living on the streets or in prison need to be addressed before we will see a dramatic fall in health care costs.

Funky 2011 Juke is Nissan’s new red-hot SUV/CUV Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR
CONTRIBUTED
NISSAN HAS entered the red-top small SUV/CUV segment with the boldly styled 2011 Juke featuring almost 36 cu ft of cargo space along with front- or all-wheel-drive and 188 hp turbocharged engine.
Sunshine Coast—I have become segmentally challenged. A decade ago we went from having sedans, station wagons and trucks to sub segments like SUVs that split to create CUVs and since have devolved into niches within niches. The trick these days seems to be when a new vehicle comes to market, the manufacturer must come up with a new segment to describe it. So when Nissan announced the 2011 Juke, they called it a Sport Cross, in other words a crossover with sporty car performance. How, I wondered, could they take the humble Versa econocar, strap on a butchy body and try to palm it off as a utility vehicle that could mix it with performance cars? At first blush, it doesn’t sound that much different than the Versa/Cube as they share the same platform, 1.6-litre engine, MacStrut front suspension up front and a twist beam rear.
But after that, things change rapidly. The engine is still the familiar 1.6-litre but it’s now got direct fuel injection and an intercooled turbo that produces 188 hp and 177 lb/ft of torque. Running premium fuel (not required but recommended) it has the same power as a 2.5-litre Altima plus the same fuel economy as a 2.0-litre Nissan Sentra. It is also one of the few engines on the market producing more than 100 hp/litre. The six-speed manual or CVT transmission are the same as Versa/Cube but Juke offers available all-wheel-drive (AWD) as well as standard frontwheel-drive (FWD). The FWD has the twist beam rear suspension with stabilizer car while the AWD is upgraded to a multi-link with stabilizer bar. If you buy the CVT with AWD you also get a torque vectoring system that splits torque up to 50:50 between the front and rear wheels. But it can also split torque from See Juke B3

Juke gets torque vectoring Juke from B1 side-to-side across the rear axle. What this does is parcel out the grip to the wheel(s) that can make the most use of it. Depending on speed and road conditions, the outside wheel(s) dig in a little deeper and that enhances road holding substantially. Originally, torque vectoring was reserved for full race rally cars and only recently has it shown up on pricy performance cars like the Acura TL, Subaru STI and Mitsubishi Evo. Weighing just 64
pounds, this is the first time this advance has been offered in the small car segment. Driving along B.C.’s Sunshine Coast, there were few opportunities to test it due to the unending conveys of tourists and locals. However, we did find a few open stretches and slewed the Juke back and forth across the centre line. The big thing here is that, while grip was great, the steering wheel didn’t load up, thus making it tiring to drive. However, the real revelation was the ability of the turbo to pass cars. That
little 1.6-litre went from tame as in the Versa, to charger in the Juke. I drove both the AWD with CVT and FWD with the manual. While the latter didn’t have torque vectoring, it sure felt like it had more power. My usual co-driver and I normally agree on nothing, but we came to the same conclusion that we seemed to get back from the lunch stop faster than it took to get there. Another piece of new technology for Nissan and used first in the Juke is the Integrated Control (ICON) system.

THE INTERIOR of the 2011 Juke comes in three seating colors and a choice of red or black for the main console. Note the two main instruments with a “flying visor” shade.
It centres control of the automatic A/C and the three-mode drive selector and displays on a monitor of the central stack. The three modes are Normal for everyday driving, Sport for a more intense performance feel and Eco for maximum efficiency. It lets the driver adjust throttle response, transmission (CVT mapping) and steering feel for the precise ride he/she desires. Set up for performance
it does just that—perform. In short, Nissan wasn’t kidding when they called this a Sport Cross. Sporting too is the interior. Much of the design comes from a series of concept cars and is centred on the console between the two front seats. It was inspired by a motorcycle fuel tank and finished in high-gloss paint in either candy apple red or a glistening grey. The
gearshift is positioned on top of the console, with a high-mounted shift lever for sporty driving. The front door panels have what Nissan calls “bullet fin” styling, meaning it looks like one those fin-style antennas you see on roofs of luxury cars. In the rear, a fold-down 60/40-split bench seat and flat load floor provide passenger and cargo hauling flexibility with a capacity of up to 35.9 cu ft.
Available interior features range from leatherappointed seats and rearview monitor to Nissan Intelligent Key with push button ignition. A long list of safety features are also standard including Nissan’s advanced air bag system (AABS), anti-lock braking system (ABS) and vehicle dynamic control (VDC). See Juke B4

The styling of the Juke is radical but so is the Cube. I’m not crazy about it. Not surprisingly, my usual co-driver was enthusiastic. More importantly, the younger the other journalists on the press launch were, the more they liked it. Being the target market Nissan wants to plumb with the Juke, it looks like they succeeded. The placement of the main headlights is unusual. Calling it “rally car inspired,” they are set at front bumper height with the turn signals and running lights perched high on the front fender in what Nissan calls a Crocodile

Pricing starts at $19,998 for the base SV model and that includes 17-inch wheels, air, cruise, remote entry, six-speaker sound system with steering wheel mounted controls and Bluetooth connectivity. The three SV models range up to $23,098. The other trim level is the SL that adds power moonroof, heated cloth seats, push button start, automatic climate control and the I-CON display system.

The dark, glossy hardshell side bags raked in sweeping lines that complimented and echoed the tank and fairing up front. The Stratoliner Deluxe maintains that sinister feel even after you swing a leg over and settle into the saddle. The wide, black fairing has hints of H.R. Giger’s “Alien” inspirations and it seems to suck up the daylight as it spreads out in front of you. You fumble to find the key slot in
its gloom. Two big speakers and a velcro-strapped iPod shelf and plug are barely discernible in the shadows. Unlike the integral design of, say, a Harley Street Glide, this fairing is an add-on to an existing stand-alone bike, so there are no gauges or illuminated instruments to break the black and light the interior. At night, it’s like staring into the abyss. Thumb the starter and the engine awakes. The See Stratoliner B7

haust system manages to produce a legal but lively bla-a-at of ripping acceleration roar and snarling backpressure burbles, while still reducing emissions with an oxygen sensor and three-way catalyst. Get the Stratoliner Deluxe moving and its sinister nature disappears. It is as friendly as a big dog and surprisingly nimble for its 800lb-plus girth. At highway speed though, some of the demons reappear and I’m pretty sure one of them is standing on the pillion behind me, working the top of my helmet with an orbital sander. Either that or the “shorty” windshield is “too shorty” for me. I need to be about a half-ahead closer to the ground to get the top of my hat out of the slipstream. It’s not the bike’s fault. I’m just too tall for it. I endured that kind of vibration once all the way across Canada and sometimes I wonder if these test bike beatings will leave me drooling in a walker in my dotage, like some punch-drunk old boxer.
So it’s a relief to back off the throttle and let the helmet vibrations settle down as the speed drops below
120 kph. With the eyes focusing once more, a glimpse down at the teardrop tank
new 2010 Stratoliner Deluxe, Yamaha has broadened the lineup with a new flagship that takes a fresh and dramatically different approach to the old “bigger” formula. I spent as much time as I could on this bike. Despite its dark and sultry styling, it provides open and honest power, responsive performance and the kind of ride and highway handling that let you relax into the rhythm of the ride. And, to complete the experience, on one long haul I stabbed the left handlebar audio controller expecting Metallica or Led Zeppelin. Instead, my iPod shuffled into, so help me, Dancing Queen by ABBA. I laughed. Some Reaper. Not so grim, after all.

finds a retro-styled analog instrument cluster with three meters—a big speedo above a tiny tach and small gas gauge. A digital readout shows time, trips and odometer readings. There are no coolant or oil gauges but you’ll get a pretty good idea of engine temperature if you spend any time sitting in traffic on top of that air-cooled mill. Best to head for the countryside and the long and cool blasts down shaded lanes or along riverside roads. The Stratoliner lineup really begins with the Roadliner, a handsome open cruiser. The nextstep-up in Canada, the Stratoliner S, is really just a Roadliner with a “convertible” touring package, the easily removable backrest and windshield systems that really should become the industry norm.

Audi A7 Sportback world premiere Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR
Audi debuted the A7 Sportback, a full-size fivedoor premium fastback coupe at a world premiere held July 26 in Munich. Due in Canada in about a year, it carries a European starting price of 51,650 Euros or about $70,000. No Canadian pricing was announced except that “it will be very, very competitive.” The A7 Sportback is a large vehicle and unique in its configuration compared to other luxury cars sold here. It is almost five meters long and close to two metres wide yet only 1.42 meters (4.66 ft) tall. Making the overall appearance more dramatic is what Audi calls a prominent “tornado” character line that starts at the headlights and runs aft along fenders, door and rear side walls to the taillights. Combine that with the gently rearward sloping “flat dome” roof and rear sloping C-pillar and the impression is long and low. The rear deck has a power spoiler that deploys at 130 km/h (80 mph) and retracts at 80 km/h (49 mph). Beneath the rear deck

THE INTERIOR of the Audi A7 Sportback lacks nothing while combining the very best materials. Note the unusual light oak used on the instrument panel.

Also available in Europe at extra cost is a new navigation system that superimposes the highlighted route (along with voice prompts) on a background provided by Google Earth. I tried it on an Audi A8L and at one point it had me driving into a field that supposed to be the entrance to the autobahn. Either way, we won’t get it because our GPS systems in North America aren’t fast enough to keep up with the pace of the car.

The interior of the car shown at Munich was a mix of light tan and beige leather seats and panels with a stunning use of a stripped oak in a hue similar to beech. At the core of the interior is the advanced Multi Media Interface (MMI) system with retractable 6.5-inch monitor. With its large central control knob and reduced number of buttons, it is now even more intuitive to use when operating the standard high-end audio and navigation sys-
Google Earth at the same time is very cool. For the first time in an Audi, the A7 will offer an optional ’head-up’ display that projects key information, including economy and speed data and navigation routing onto the windscreen so that it appears to float at a distance of around 2.5 metres ahead of the driver. Other exotic driver aids we may or may not get are: park assist using ultrasonic sensors that detect parallel and horizontal parking spaces; a night vision assistant employing a thermal imaging camera to highlight persons in front of the car; lane departure detection system and the new Audi presense system first seen in the new A8. Among the more indulgent options available are comfort seats with heating, cooling and massaging functions, acoustic glazing, supple leather trimming for the centre console, a 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system with 1,300 watts of power, TV reception and various connectivity upgrades for the MMI system.

Audi debuts unique styling of A7 Sportback in Munich Audi from B8 of two, V6 direct injection gasoline engines: a 2.8-litre naturally aspirated or 3.0-litre supercharged. There are also two 3.0-litre turbo direct injection (TDI) V6 diesels. We will likely get the tsupercharged V6 and maybe the diesel. The supercharged engine produces 300 hp and 325 lb/ft rof torque with quattro alltwheel-drive and a sevenspeed dual clutch S-tronic transmission. In this form it has a 0-100 km sprint time of 5.6 seconds and a top speed limited at 250 km/h or 155 mph. Average combined fuel consumption is estimated at 8.3L/100 km. The 3.0-litre TDI is rated at 245 hp and 367 lb/ ft of torque. It is no slouch with a 0-100 km time of 6.5 seconds while consuming just 6.0L/100 km on the combined loop. The quattro all-wheeldrive system appears in its latest generation form with r40/60 per cent rear bias and featuring the crown gear differential first seen in the RS 5, which can

system provides comfort and control. The car can be ordered with a firmer,
10 mm lower sport setting or an even more intensively handling-oriented S line
configuration. For drivers desiring maximum continentcrossing refinement, an extensively revised version of the Audi adaptive air suspension system with three ride settings will be offered as an option. The Audi drive select adaptive dynamics system will be fitted as standard to all models, enabling the driver to fine tune steering weighting, throttle response and transmission shift points at the touch of a button. The keenest performance enthusiasts will also be able to specify the optional quattro sport differential enabling torque transfer between the rear wheels, which has been much praised in the S4 and RS 5 for the even greater handling adjustability it brings. Lastly, to give the A7 Sportback an even more imposing look, customers can also specify extremely energy efficient all-LED headlights at extra cost. These units with their distinctive, near to daylight beams, incorporate special cornering, all-weather and highway lighting.

Volkswagen calls its Golf GTI the “ultimate performance package” and who can argue. Named the Canadian Car of theYear for 2010 by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC), the Golf GTI was one of the first “hot hatches” on the market when it debuted more than a quarter century ago.
Priced at $700 less than last year, the original “pocket rocket” now has more standard features than ever before. While at Circuit Mont Tremblant in Quebec for the launch of the new Golf family last fall, journalists had a chance to do some laps with the 200 hp 2010 GTI, playing Follow the Leader with the front-runners being Canadian racing legends Patrick Carpentier and Richard Spenard. During these controlled laps it was easy to see why the GTI has become such an icon in the hot hatch category. It gets off the line quickly as its turbocharged 16-valve 2.0-litre TSI four-cylinder engine roars into action. The handling is sure and precise, even in tight hairpin turns. But the real fun was watching the pros in action during the “hot laps” at the end of the track session. That’s when you really see what these cars can do in the right hands. The GTI is available with a six-speed manual or six-speed DSG automatic with steering wheel mounted paddle shifters. DSG stands for direct shift gearbox and it enables the driver to shift smoothly and quickly with the convenience of an automatic and the performance of a manual. In short, it does everything so well and so quickly you’ll feel like a pro behind the wheel. Interestingly, the DSG transmission-equipped GTI gets better fuel economy than those with the
manual transmission. After my short time in the seat at launch last year, I was anxious to get more seat time in the car that my colleagues and I chose as Car of the Year for 2010, besting nine other category winners such as the Audi S4. Mazda3, Audi A5 Cabriolet, Porsche Panamera Turbo, BMW 335d Sedan, Ford Taurus and another Golf family member, the Golf Wagon TDI. My tester was a threedoor GTI with the sixspeed DSG transmission. Dressed in Carbon Steel Metallic Grey and with 18-inch “Detroit” alloy wheels ($975) and the Luxury Leather Package ($2,600), the car priced out at $33,650. For the performance enthusiast, the GTI has a lot to offer over the basic Golf. Of course, the fully independent sport suspension is upgraded and lowered, 10 mm from the previous GTI. It features MacPherson struts with lower control arms in front, complemented by an anti-roll bar. The rear has a four link independent set up. This automotive segment once had a lot of competition, but many competitors have dropped off the map. In the threedoor hatchback area, the only real competitors that come to mind are the Volvo C30 and MINI Cooper. In the five-door arena there is more competition, including the likes of the Audi A3, MazSee Golf GTI B11

MOTORING and out. If you’re going to be using the back seat on a regular basis, I’d opt for the five-door GTI model. Behind the seats is a generous amount of cargo room that can be made even four times larger with the 60/40 split rear seats folded. Just as with my first stint behind the wheel, I found the GTI a pleasure to drive—just the right mix of power, performance and utility. For the record, the Golf GTI posted a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 6.9 seconds during

THE ORIGINAL “pocket rocket” hatchback is back in the form of the 2010 Volkswagen Golf GTI. Sporting a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, the GTI makes 200 hp and 207 lb/ft of torque. It is available in three and fivedoor hatchback configurations. Golf GTI from B10 daspeed3 and Subaru Impreza WRX. While the Golf and Golf GTI are all new for 2010, the basic Golf design dates back 35 years and six generations. At launch, Volkswagen noted the Golf is the all-time r best selling model in the firm’s lineup with sales of 26 million units, ahead of even the legendary Beetle f model. During those rears, the Golf has also been known as the Rabbit in North America, but that name is gone for 2010 as the car returns to the Golf name on this side of the Atlanr tic. While the new Golf Wagon is built in Mexico, the GTI and other Golf hatchbacks come from
Wolfsburg, Germany. The interior is not all that different than the outgoing model although there are minor tweaks here and there. Something could have been done to brighten it up a touch, though, as my tester was a bit drab looking inside. Red stitching on the
thick, easy-to-grip steering wheel did help a bit. The interior materials, however, are nice and soft to the touch all round. Standard on the GTI is an eight-speaker premium sound system with 6.5inch touch screen and indash six-disc CD changer. It had a great sound,

although with the Technology Package (a $1,990 option) comes a satellite navigation system featuring a 30 GG hard drive and a 300-watt digital sound system with eight speakers, which probably performs even better. Other standard features include 60/40 split folding rear seats with a centre armrest and pass-through, eight-way manually adjusting sport seats with lumbar support, bi-xenon headlights with adaptive front light system, Bluetooth phone connectivity, dual zone climate control, heatable front seats, and multifunction sport wheel with available paddle shifters. The three-door GTI model holds five people, but the back seat is a bit of a challenge getting in
AJAC testing at Car of the Year last fall, and a braking distance of 42.8m in the 100-0 km/h test. While the price can add up quickly if you opt for some of the option packages, the Golf GTI is a lot of car for the money and sure to please even the most ardent enthusiast. No wonder it’s become such an icon in the hot hatch segment.

mounted mirrors, and chopped fenders that emphasize fat tires mounted fore and aft. “With its classic bulldog-shouldered stance, the Forty-Eight strikes a distinctive look and low profile that could only come from Harley-Davidson,” said Ray Drea, Harley-Davidson Senior Director of Styling when the bike was first unveiled. “The Forty-Eight model has a collective past life experience and broken-in look that is raw and authentic.” Ah, don’t you love the way designers talk? They regard motorcycles like these as “iron canvasses for the custom artwork of metal and machinery”. There is as much art involved as science when it comes to factory customs like these. They are the fringe creations that follow form over function in order to channel the heritage elements that only companies like Harley-Davidson can lay claim to. Which leads us to the “raw and authentic” part of the above quote. Key the ignition and the 1200 shakes to life. The engine is a brute, making 79 lb/ft of torque that is available over a loud and broad power band. Throttle response is sharp and instantaneous with little of the forgiveness you’d expect from a belt drive. The 7.95-litre tank might give you a 150 km range on a good day. I pointed the bike out of the H-D driveway and started my bumpity-bump trek home. The ride seemed harsher than expected and, while I was mulling that over, I ramped onto the highway. Within a kilometre or two, I hit the first frost heave, wham, and was almost unhorsed, or, err, unbiked. The seat was obviously unsprung. See Harley B13

and my feet were scrambling for purchase on the forward-placed pegs. And it was Wednesday. So, hmm, I must be on a Harley. Actually, this was the 2010 Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight, a factory custom motorcycle rooted in Sportster lineage and tradition, chopped and blacked-out into a state of sibling rivalry with the Nightster. The Forty-Eight takes a new tangent in Harley’s Dark Custom style direction. It’s the latest addition to the back-in-black family that includes the aforementioned Nightster, the Iron 883, Cross Bones, Fat Bob and Street Bob. Of course, Sportsters aren’t exactly the biggest bikes in the lineup. “Jeez, you’re taller than me,” the Harley guy said as he handed over the key. “This should be interesting.” I shrugged because I knew what I was getting into, the perennial fashion faux pas of the big guy on a small bike. And the Forty-Eight bumps the “bear in the circus” look up a notch with its road-hugging, slammed suspension and the tiny 2.1-gallon “peanut” fuel tank that first debuted in 1948 (hence the name). For all of its diminutive size and “lightening” punched metal styling theme, this motorcycle weighs in at 257 kg (567 lbs) and it is as solid as an anvil. Other manufacturers talk about “billet styling” but the Forty-Eight, actually feels like it was cut from a single block of metal. The hunkered-down architecture backs up its low-rider appearance and attitude with a blackedout and polished, rubbermounted Evolution 1200 cc V-Twin engine that throbs to the V-Twin beat, a low solo seat, under-

Carguide continues its cross-Canada adventure The Carguide CrossCanada Adventure team has arrived in the Thunder Bay area of this great Canadian road trip that’s being featured on CarguideCanada.ca and followed by thousands of visitors to the site. The team is driving a Chevrolet Equinox fuelled by Shell Nitrogen Enriched Gasoline tcompliments of Shell stations that dot the route. The journey showcases the beauty of Canada, promotes the comfortable, fuel-efficient Equinox and the benefits of choosing a rhigh-quality gasoline. Road trip planning and driving tips are included in the team’s daily blogs. Jock McCleary, special events manager says, “We drove through the village of Sunshine and ironically the sun came out for the first time in days. As we came into Thunder Bay we got our first glimpse of Lake Superior, which was the largest body of water we had seen since the Pacific. “Across the water, tthe Sibley Peninsula displayed the dark cliffs of Sleeping Giant Provincial Park. To the west, Pie Island showcased its beautiful tree-lined shores.” A cross-Canada road trip is a dream for many, so readers can benefit from this virtual experience and gain road trip advice.
The Carguide team has these tips to help drivers stretch their fuel dollars for such an adventure, or for their everyday driving: 1. Drive carefully and avoid heavy acceleration or braking. Speeding, rapid acceleration and fast and frequent braking can lower your mileage by as much as 33 per cent at highway speeds and five per cent at lower speeds. 2. Use high-quality gasoline. More than half of Canadians polled by Angus Reid admit they don’t do anything to avoid the build-up of performance-robbing carbon deposits, or “engine gunk.” Simply filling up with a high-quality gasoline, like all three grades of Shell Nitrogen Enriched Gasoline, can help protect your engine and optimize its performance. 3. Be proactive about vehicle maintenance. Most maintenance should be left to the professionals, but you can monitor things like tire pressure, fluid leaks, fluid levels, cracked or loose hoses and wires, adequate braking efficiency and wheel alignment. It’s also a good idea to track your fuel consumption for early warning signs that tell you when your vehicle needs special attention. For more information visit CarguideCanada.ca. —Carguide Magazine

MCROBERT, ELSIE (RAUCH) December 15, 1919 ~ June 13, 2010
It is with great sadness we annouce the passing of Elsie at the age of 90 years. She is survived by her loving husband of 55 years Perry ‘’Mac,’’ daughter Diane, son Tom(Kathy), grandchildren Jasmin and Brandon of Prince George, B.C., sisters Edith Graham, Violet Locke, and Ruby(Henry)Fedoruk of Kelowna, B.C., neices and nephews as well as numerous friends. She was predeceased by brothers Fred(Rose)Rauch, John(Irma)Rauch, Harold Rauch and sister in law Esther, sisters Betty Olson and brother in law Bill, Laura Lucier and brother in law Phil, and brothers in law Walter Locke and Bill Graham. Elsie was born in Leader, Saskatchewan and was a graduate of the Saskatoon City Hospital School of Nursing. During the war years she served as a Nursing Sister with the R.C.A.M.C. in military hospitals in Canada, Great Britain and Germany. Following the war she nursed at Shaughnessy Hospital, the B.C. Cancer Clinic, Vancouver and Kelowna General Hospitals. She met her husband Perry in Kelowna and they were married there and lived in Williams Lake, Quesnel, Shuswap Falls, Prince George, and later retired in Kelowna. She was a volunteer with the Prince George Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society for many years. Special thanks go to all that cared for Elsie, the doctors and nurses of the Kelowna Hospital and Chapel, Dr. Davidson, and the caring staff of The Chatsworth and Village at Smith Creek Care Residences. Elsie will be lovingly remembered by her family and friends and all whose lives she touched. A memorial service in Elsie’s honour will be held at a later date.

Died August 24 in his 86th year at Village at Smith Creek in Westbank where staff treated him for Parkinson’s Disease and provided excellent care in his final years. He is survived by loving wife, Florence Ross (neé Goodland), brother Bob and his wife Doreen, sons Bill and Jamie, grandchildren Jessica, Michael, Jenna and Walter, nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by daughter Carolyn Gail. Throughout his life, Jim never lost his passion for airplanes. He joined the RCAF in 1942 and was assigned to RAF Transport Command. He flew C47s and B-26s in the South and North Atlantic, the Middle East and Africa. He was later stationed in the UK and flew dispatches, mail and personnel across northern Europe. When World War II ended he married Florence, the girl who had written to him every day for two and a half years. They raised their family, first in Ponoka, Alberta, then in Pointe Claire, Quebec. Jim and Florence retired to Westbank, BC where Jim was soon instructing air cadets. When he could no longer fly, he worked as a security officer at the Kelowna Airport so he could be near airplanes again. Funeral Services will be held at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC at 10:00 am on Monday, August 30, 2010 followed by interment at Lakeview Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Parkinson’s Society of BC, 600-890 West Pender St., Vancouver, BC V6C 1J9. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

at 13 months and she is now 4 yrs old. Great personal dog, most loving and loyal pet I’ve ever had. Unfortunately she doesn’t trust ‘men’ when she firsts meets them and is nervous around things that move quickly (bikes, skateboards, kids, etc.). I live in a busy home with many children in and out. She would be happier with a quieter lifestyle. Please give me a call if you think you can give her the home she deserves.
