A haunting memory follows family

Officers cited for keeping roads safe

Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Kathy Dickson moved her young family to Slave Lake, Alberta, last summer because she was sick of dealing with the yearly threat of Okanagan forest fires. Today, back in Kelowna getting her bearings after escaping a blaze hundreds of kilometres away, she can’t help but point out the irony of that decision. It might even be funny, if it weren’t for the fact that she’s spent the last week coming to terms with a disaster that incinerated one-third of the community she now calls home. “I just feel lost, even though I’m from here,” she said, speaking from a Kelowna relative’s house where she’ll stay until she gets word that it’s time to return to Slave Lake. “My oldest son keeps waking up crying, with nightmares, and my youngest sees planes, points to them and says ‘hot.’ I saw a poofy cloud when we were driving into town, and my stomach dropped because I thought it was smoke. “And, I know it seems small, but I don’t have my children’s things, like my son’s rock collection. It’s hard.” Everything—but a blanket, two stuffies and what each of her boys, ages two and four, had on their backs—was left behind when the fami-

ly evacuated from what Dickson described as a scene from “the type of movie you don’t want to be in.” The Dicksons were among the thousands of Slave Lake residents who emptied out of the town May 15 as a wildfire roared out of control, stoked by winds gusting up to 100 kilometres an hour. As they streamed out on area highways, whole community blocks were devastated as houses burned to their foundations. Hundreds of vehicles were incinerated, while businesses and government infrastructure were brought to a tangled mess. Although the damage was extensive, the fire’s beginnings didn’t set off alarm bells for the family that had witnessed West Kelowna’s fires from their Mt. Boucherie home the year before. “Saturday morning we could see smoke over the hills, and we thought, ‘Uh oh, forest fire,’” she said, noting residents of that area were evacuated immediately. But it seemed her family was far from danger so they, along with the bulk of the community, stayed put. By dinner that night another fire appeared in the distance, opposite the morning’s blaze, but still, she said, everything seemed safe. “Then, Sunday I was at a birthday par-

It’s not often Mounties show the weight of the burden they carry, but it was apparent at a Thursday afternoon gathering where the accomplishments of 51 officers were celebrated. All were solemn, but some were brought to tears and could be seen wiping their eyes as activist Laurel Middelaer thanked them for keeping the roads clear of drunk drivers, and told the story of her daughter, Alexa. Alexa, she explained, was four and a half in May 2008 when she died from the “very real consequence of poor choices and negligent behaviour.” “We got a call, and I knew it was Alexa and I knew she was dead,” she remembered. The cherubic looking girl was on a rural road in the Lower Mainland, holding her aunt’s hand and feeding a horse a cookie through the fence. Across that road were her grandparents, who were looking on with pleasure. The picturesque image was cut short by a maroon car that was careening down the road, and swerved into the grandparents car. They, left injured, were trapped in their vehicle as the car bounced off their car into Alexa and her aunt. The impact sent Alexa into the air “out of her Crocs” and across the way into a horse paddock, where she died. Her aunt was left broken, bones exposed at the side of the road. And when the dust settled, her grandparents made a call to Laurel and her husband to come help. “We were a block from the house and we arrived on the tragic scene. Everyone here has seen what I’ve seen,” she said to the room of police officers at the BCAAsponsored function held at Watson Elementary School. “I saw a little girl, lifeless on a horse paddock. I saw grandparents with blood streaming down their faces, stuck in the car…and I saw the accused smoking a cigarette, sitting on the curb.” It was more than most could take in, but the realization that it happened because of speeding and alcohol was gut wrenching.

Debate over HST at OC campus

Kelowna’s Okanagan College has been chosen as one of three public postsecondary institutions to host a series of public forums about the upcoming HST referendum. Funded by a $500,000 Public Dialogue Fund created by the provincial government, the forums are

intended to present both the yes and no sides of the HST debate leading up to the referendum. In Kelowna, the forum will take place Monday, May 30, 7:30 p.m., at the Okanagan College campus lecture theatre (room S104). The moderator will be

Jim Hamilton, president of Okanagan College. The other two communities hosting similar forums are Cranbrook and Kamloops. People are invited to attend the sessions or watch them on the Internet at www.hstpublicforums.ca. The website has

an online forum where people can express their opinions. People can also participate in the discussion via Facebook (www.facebook.com/HSTForums) and Twitter (@HSTForums, hashtags: Kelowna Forum: #HSTKelowna. Former B.C. Ombuds-

man Stephen Owen has been appointed as an independent funding decision-maker. Owen’s role is to ensure a fair process in allocating public funding of $500,000 to both sides in the HST Referendum. Owen has awarded two groups the right to

apply for up to $250,000 each. The groups are the Fight HST Society (the “yes” side, supporting a referendum vote to return to the PST/GST) and the Smart Tax Alliance (the “no” side, supporting a referendum vote to retain the HST).

NEWS ▼ ART EXHIBIT

Worn out chairs make an artistic statement ‘‘ Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Stacked high in an Okanagan Mission backyard, a collection of dysfunctional chairs pile up. There’s a black one in there somewhere that was mine until mid-week. I’ve carried it around from house to house, as you’ll soon hear if you go to see the next, and final, exhibit in the Dysfunctional Chairs Series at the Kelowna Art Gallery. So far the series has given five artists a chance to build their interpretation of dysfunctional chairs, like Jasmine Reimer’s 1000 lbs. 3 Days, the current exhibit in the series exploring the relationship between our obesity epidemic and the office furniture foundations of our sedentary lifestyle. Now local artist and UBCO fine arts grad Chad Pratch will take a different tac. He has decided to create art out of this pile of rejected and abandoned—though technically usable—chairs, and he interviews those who donate to his cause to see why they want to get rid of their furnishings. “I looked at the history of all the Dysfunctional Chair Series pieces and the artists were looking at the literal meaning of what is a dysfunctional chair,” said Pratch. “I was thinking more of a spin, doing more of a psychological meaning,

a meaning we create with our minds.” Part of the exhibition will likely be audio recordings explaining what it is that makes each chair dysfunctional to the owner who is giving it away. From a child’s pram to a toilet and, of course, my bedraggled kitchen clutter, Pratch has amassed quite the collection. He says he fully understands this need we all have to part with our worn out, tattered or just plain out-of-date belongings, but thinks it’s worth a conversation on why our society deems certain things as rejects. “I find that really interesting when you link that idea over to the conversation of fine arts, the aesthetic conversation, and how we have that discussion of what is bad and good art,” he said. “It’s really a strange conversation because there isn’t any real, tangible explanation for why we will say something is bad or something is good. “When we see somebody wearing ’70s clothes or ’80s hair, a lot of times we’ll laugh, but I wonder why we find that funny? It’s bizarre, but why is it funny?” As one might suspect, Pratch is not exactly controversy-averse. While at UBCO, he had administrators begging him to shutdown a performance art piece on protesting in which he showed up on campus with blank plac-

UBCO fine arts grad Chad Pratch has decided to create an art exhibit from a pile of rejected and abandoned chairs. ards offering to protest whatever anyone wrote on the signs. “I was protesting white supremacy, rape, anti-women’s rights. These things are actually illegal. You can’t say these things in Canada,” he said, admitting it was a bit difficult to stomach. Still, he would not give up on the project, refusing to forfeit his right to explore how people interact with protest and how they define what is and is not art. “The main focus of all my art is to try and get people who would otherwise not be involved in art to be involved in the

conversation of art,” said Pratch. In fact, if you were to really break down his own story, Pratch himself is probably one of those people who might otherwise not be involved in art. Heading to school on a basketball scholarship, he travelled around, moved to Calgary, tried his hand at early childhood education and generally lived the life of your average meandering confused twenty-something young guy—except for the early childhood education part. Through it all, he kept sketching and when he

applied to art school, he found where he fit. Having graduated in 2009, the artist says he’s currently working as a cabinetmaker with his father, with the exception of this Dysfunctional Chairs exhibit and the sculpture he’s working on for the entrance of Kelowna General Hospital. The KGH sculpture was commissioned by a coalition of local First Nations and Métis organizations interested in spurring reconnection between youth and their culture. It will be a threedimensional depiction of a canoe with children holding it up on a bed of

bricks and feathers—a work still in progress. Meantime, Pratch says he still needs about 80 chairs to complete his KAG installation for the June 18 opening. He’s tried advertising on Facebook and word of mouth, but said the best way he’s found to get someone to relinquish an ugly or unwanted chair is a simple, opportune knock at the door. Like any good politician, he’s been cold-calling on doorsteps, asking people if they have a seat they’d like to hand over. “I would say approximately 80 per cent of the people have said they’ve

had a chair that they want to get rid of but they don’t want to give it away,” he said. “They kind of need somebody to come and give them that extra push.” Pratch’s Dysfunctional Chairs exhibit opens June 18 at the Kelowna Art Gallery. The title of the show is Inanimate Phenotype and information will be up on the Kelowna Art Gallery’s website, www.kelownaartgallery.com. To give him your chairs, Pratch can be contacted at chadpratch@ hotmail.com or 250-8697249 or via the Kelowna Art Gallery through curator Liz Wylie at either liz@kelownaartgallery. com or 250-762-2226, ext. 303. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

There were dead limbs littering the ground

There were groups— large groups—of campers amongst the trees all along the gravel road we were on, and they were eating and drinking and riding and driving and hiking and listening to music.

But away from such prepared camping spots, with no washrooms or washing facilities; and no gravelled campsites, prepared firepits and pathways to protect some of the natural growth, the damage to the natural environment can be pretty brutal from such an busy weekend of human activities. In one sense, it’s great to see so much interest in the natural environment and interacting with nature; but in another, I have grave concerns about how much is too much.

the long weekend is over, all those tents and other shelters that sprang up like mushrooms after a spring rain are gone from the bush, and hopefully, no evidence of their partying was left behind. But, I have to wonder just what the “carrying capacity” of such lower-elevation forested areas is for such an influx of humans and their sometimes-devastating activities. Wherever there’s an official campground, wildlife habits change with their proximity to people, despite all efforts there to keep the impacts contained, and to a minimum.

NEWS ▼ NATURE TRUST OF B.C.

Fundraiser draws top B.C. chefs and wines Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

It’s an ambitious goal, but it’s for a worthy cause, and guests will be wined and dined by some of the province’s top chefs and wineries. This year, the Nature Trust of B.C. aims to raise more than $100,000 towards the $3 million purchase price of a 2,000hectare grassland and wetland at its annual Okanagan Valley fund-raiser at the Delta Grand, called Earth Wind Fire 2011. The event is Saturday, June 18, and will feature food prepared by some of the best chefs in B.C., along with award-winning wines from around the Okanagan. Top entertainers, such

as Bobby Bruce with his Neil Diamond tribute and Anna Jacyszyn’s jazz, will be on hand, along with MCs Andy and TJ. The Nature Trust is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, notes Deborah Kennedy, development and communications officer, so she is really hopeful they can mark it with acquisition of this biodiversity ranch in the Twin Lakes area, just west of Penticton. Nature Trust has an agreement to purchase with the owner and has applied for half the funding from a federal fund. It already owns large biodiversity ranches in the Okanagan Falls and White Lake areas. “I’ve never seen our scientists so excited about

a property we’ve considered,” said Kennedy. It includes not only grasslands, but also wetlands and riparian areas, ponderosa pine, Douglas fir and trembling aspen forests, as well as lakes and rugged terrain, so it’s very diverse. Locally, the Nature Trust has played a role in conserving Rose Valley Pond, adjacent to Rose Valley elementary in West Kelowna, which became the trailhead for a 250hectare regional park by the same name. It is also in discussions about other potential Central Okanagan properties. Funds raised at the annual Okanagan Valley fund-raiser stay in the valley to be used toward local projects, and Earth Wind

Fire is a collaboration of many in the community. Kennedy noted it’s great to work with the Delta and executive chef Stuart Klassen, but the chefs and wineries of the valley also chip in, along with all kinds of other businesses. She notes this event is probably more difficult than any other she does, but everyone chips in to help out with such passion that it becomes a fun event to organize. “The chefs and wineries just love the crowd. Everyone’s really happy,” she explained. “There’s a lot of love goes into this event.” Her husband, Tom Kennedy, grew up in Kelowna and volunteers annually to line up 1,000 bottles of wine to create the ‘Great Wall of Wine,’ which is auctioned off during the evening. He’s hopeful he can raise $100,000 on that alone, but there are other big-ticket items as well,

including a helicopter ride to a Nature Trust property with a picnic there, for six; a fishing trip up the West Coast to North King Lodge; a tower of scotch; dinner for six at Gotham’s with accommodation in Vancouver; a two-night luxury stay at the Ritz-Carleton in Toronto and dinner at Toca; and nature-themed jewelry as well as unique home made crafts. Members of the Canadian Culinary Junior Team, Culinary Team B.C., as well as local top chefs Stuart Klassen of the Delta, Willi Franz of the Grapevine at Gray Monk, Mark Filatow of Waterfront Restaurant, Geoffrey Couper, president of the Okanagan Chefs’ Association, Bernard Casavant of the Wild Apple at Manteo and Rod Butters from RauDZ Regional Table will create the food served at stations around the room.

Dedicated volunteer will be missed Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Always cheerful and sensible, Sandy Welbourn, one of this community’s well-respected volunteers, passed away this week. He served as president of the Central Okanagan Heritage Society and also served on the board of directors of the Friends of Fintry and the Interior Alzeimer’s Society. “He worked behind the scenes on a lot of projects in the community,” recalled Janice Henry, executive director of the heritage society. He was ‘clerk of works’ in construction of Reid Hall at Benvou-

lin Heritage Church and on McIver House. He was presented with the heritage society’s distinguished service award. “He brought a good business sense to the board table. He shared his passion and his savvy with us and with the Friends of Fintry. He’ll be missed,” Henry said. Former president of the board of the Friends of Fintry, Ken Walden added, “We appreciated his sage advice and wisdom while he served on the board.” Welbourn had been battling cancer and died Monday at the age of 83. He was pre-deceased by his wife Mary and is

survived by his daughter Margot, in Kelowna, and son-in-law Stan Sauerwein, as well as three grandchildren. Prior to moving to the Okanagan and West Ke-

lowna, Welbourn and his wife transformed an overgrown, 10-acre property in Trochu, Alta., which was home to a number of exotic trees, into a glorious garden which they eventu-

ally sold to the town to be open to the public. The Trochu Arboretum remains today as a peaceful and beautiful legacy for future generations. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

‘Trees had broken in half, roofs were coming apart’ Family from A1 der was issued and winds stoked flames. “Some people said that the two fires came together and built their own wind,” Dickson said. “Toys were blowing across the ground, trees had broken in half and roofs were coming apart.” The smoke and fire was dense, as Dickson said it seemed like they were driving right into the thick of it as they followed a trail of cars leaving the city. “No one was coming into Slave Lake, we were bumper to bumper leaving. Then when smoke got so thick that we couldn’t see, cars started coming out and people were pointing and making movements like we had to turn around,” she said. They did a u-turn and

made it out on an eastbound road to Edmonton. “We were going and it was all fire around the road, with burning trees and poofs of smoke,” she said. “I thought I was going to throw up, and my son’s eyes were as wide as saucers and I just kept getting texts from family saying, ‘Are you OK?’” Today they’re safe and know their home escaped the blaze, but “OK” may still be some time in the offing. “I’m seriously taking day by day,” she said. “It’s getting better, but it’s hard.” Dickson’s husband is in Edmonton waiting to get back to Slave Lake to see how their home fared, as they’re not sure if it will be livable with the smoke damage. “My son has asthma to begin with, so we have to wait to see if the air quality is good for him,” she said. “But my family and friends there keep saying, ‘Are you coming back?’

Of course I will, it’s my home. I just don’t know when.” Meantime, Dickson said she’s felt blessed by the generosity of those she’s run into along the way. When they arrived in Peachland, for example, Bliss Bakery filled up a

bag of treats for the family when they heard where they were from. Management at the EnergyPlex gave her sons passes to play at the facility when they realized what they’ve been dealing with. “They’ve been so amazing,” she said. “I al-

Outlandish weather is incentive to park the car at home I tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seems like every year I open my now admittedly sporadic cycling column with a confession that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been altogether too slow at getting my commuting legs back on the road. And while this year is no exception to the rule, I must admit it has been truly exceptional in that my usual complaintâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;bad weatherâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;really has been exceptionally difficult. Who would think on the eve of Bike to Work Week, I would be writing in a sweater, shivering in a spring outfit a bit off for the -8 C weather and contemplating whether to take the snow tires off the car while the Connector is covered in the white stuff. If your purpose for getting out of your car is to save the planet, then surely this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frightening weather patterns should improve your resolve, except for that the wonky weather climate change appears to create actually makes it much tougher to get out there. I have actually been commuting a bit already, though admittedly slowly due to the cold. If the act

by Jenn Smith

of riding down the road with 20 or 30 pounds of portable technology and work gear werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to get me thinking about why I do this, then fear of what I hear on the radio each morning might do it. Thursday morning, on CBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Current, two experts debated whether the burning of much of a town (Slave Lake), the worst floods in years on the Prairies and the unfettered tornado scourge in the U.S.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;not to mention what occurred in Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;were in fact the makings of our climate change disaster. Predictably, one expert argued against this alarmist view, but whether one links climate change to harmful emissions and the human hand or not, I think any one of us might agree the evidence is mounting that we are at least dealing with far, far more extreme weather.

So on that note, a little interesting inspiration to get you out of the now really expensive carâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;gas prices are outlandish since the other conflict zones in our world heated up this winter/springâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and onto the road. As she is thankfully prone to doing, local cycling advocate Pat Munro generously sent a pile of fabulous clippings from her attic, many by Lower Mainland cycling columnist Gordon Hobbis. One in particular caught my eye. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Riding a tandem bicycle is like dancingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; someone has to leadâ&#x20AC;? the headline reads, and it got me thinking about a really weird phenomenon I discovered on another trendy bike info stopâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Twitter. Now, when I started this column four or five years ago, all this social networking/marketing/computing business wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really all that prevalent, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wormed its way into other places in my work life and, I have to admit, for interesting cycling info, noth-

ing beats Twitter. Rather than collecting magazines or piling up clippings you can now easily follow any number of bloggers, Twit geeks, journalists, magazines and so forth and pick up some fantastic information from all over the world without really working at it. This is where the bicycle built for two comes in. To be honest, the paper clipping jogged a memory of some really weird conversations on â&#x20AC;&#x153;plankingâ&#x20AC;? I noticed last week. Apparently, riding the handlebars is now passĂŠ; the latest challenge involves lying as flat as a board across the handlebars in a maneuver that looks fantastic on cameraâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;until one falls flat on their face and under some carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wheel. That said, for those who might want to try using their Twitter feed to say, connect with the cycling heavensâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Denmarkâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or follow the Tour de France or even find a race or two, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge online community just waiting to be farmed for information. If, on the other hand,

actual live people are more your bag, the Okanagan Shuswap Century Ride goes this weekend as well. Plenty of local cyc-

lists will be heading north to the Armstrong and Salmon Arm route and while this year is full, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always next year and two Okanagan GranFondos to

Hail Mary HST pass might work

f the B.C. Liberal government’s plan to overhaul the HST is not met with complete skepticism by a wary public, the HST may well survive the coming mail referendum to become the province’s sales tax. The plan announced Wednesday, to reduce the HST rate to 10 per cent by July 1, 2014, offer one-time compensation to families with children under 18 and seniors with incomes under $40,000, and boost business tax rates, is ambitious and even au-

dacious. It presents a much fairer approach to this issue than anything else the government has rolled out in two years of virtual non-stop HST public relations disasters. But will it be enough? Premier Christy Clark deserves some of the credit, as does Finance Minister Kevin Falcon. Falcon broached the idea of reducing the HST rate in his leadership campaign. Other members of the B.C. Liberal caucus have been talking about it for more than a year.

Clark ran and won the party leadership on a pledge to look at government actions through a “family first” lens. In other words, “How does this action affect families?” An independent panel concluded that the HST was a fundamental tax shift away from business and onto consumers, at a cost of $350 for the “average” family. The tax is also bringing in far more revenue than Campbell ever acknowledged. Any-

one could determine that it was far from “revenue neutral,” as an additional 20 per cent of items, formerly exempt from PST, are now subject to HST. The business community, now asked to pay more in income taxes to help pay for this HST rebalancing, is reacting positively, realizing the tax has to be more fair to consumers. This “Hail Mary” play by the Clark government may save the tax, and maybe even save its own bacon.

Oprah’s feel-good musings have been our background music

he rapture may have been a bust, but that’s not to say the end didn’t come. Well, the end of the Oprah show anyway, which for many is quite clearly the same thing. Oprah Winfrey sang the last note of the longest swan song in history Wednesday afternoon, putting a cap on 25 years of afternoon programming and one year of “goodbye” episodes. It was a soggy, tissue-laden affair as the modern-day deity stepped down from her pillar of authority on what to wear, what to read and who to vote for. She tossed out endless bon mots, like “we must all live our best life.” She explained how she started the

show wanting “to do a good job and do no harm” and how we must all find “our calling.” It was a suitable self directed homage to the biggest ego in television, but the final point tweaked some internal strife that’s just not fading away. While I’ve spent decades turning my nose up at the vaguely new-agey workings of the Oprah show, it’s possible my calling is actually debunking Oprah-isms for my mother’s benefit. It’s feasible that telling her that Dr. Phil’s baseless relationship advice is not only useless, it’s toxic.

It’s even likely that

KATHARTIC making jokes about Dr.

Oz’s obsession with fecal matter could be a favoured conversation starter. Worst of all, my purKathy pose seems most clear Michaels when hashing out the merits of my argument that Oprah is not the second coming of the messiah, and actually the catalyst for the dumbeddown chat show format that drowned the concept of rational dialogue about society’s issues. Harpo Studios may be 3,298 kilometres away, but the Mighty Opes has been a part of just about every-

one’s life for 4,561 days (her math, not mine). It’s no wonder that Kelowna residents gathered at Orchard Park mall Wednesday to catch her last show, sharing memories of Opes like she was just an every day friend. It’s not even shocking that some of them reminisced about their favourite episodes, like they were reciting pages from their own diaries. On some level I want to deride all things ‘O,’ but I’ve just had the horrible realization that I understand it all too well. No matter how hard I’ve pushed her away, I know Opes impacted which foods I eat, books I’ve read, and music I’ve listened to—large-

ly because half the time she was on the air, I was a child and subject to my mothers whims, but that’s neither here nor there. She’s offered a shared cultural experience in an increasingly fragmented society. No matter where I’ve been, I’ve found an audience for Oprah musings. So, while I was expecting to have a ding-dong-the-witch-is-dead moment following Wednesday’s show, I just had to settle for the possibility I won’t get another copy of the Secret in my stocking this Christmas.

LETTERS ▼ HST REFERENDUM

Shape Up For Summer

▼ HST REFERENDUM

Government holds out We’ll be dinged carrot for us to keep HST no matter what To the editor: Counterpoint: HST letter writer Grant Baudais, (Govt’s Will Keep on Monkeying with Taxes, Capital News ,May 25) appears to be suffering from Liberal fed-up-itis which is numbing his mind somewhat. His depiction that “the province is relinquishing its taxing authority”, as well as “relying upon the federal government to collect,” and “the federal government has total control over provincial revenue” is overly dramatic. I am sure that Mr. Baudais has had employment personal income tax deductions in his lifetime. Additionally, I assume he has remitted income tax once or twice in his life. Putting two and two together he must have realized that: A) Federal tax collection agreements enable different governments to levy taxes through a single administration and collection agency; B) The federal government collects personal income taxes on behalf of all provinces and territories except Quebec and collects corporate income taxes on behalf of all provinces and territories except Alberta and Quebec; C) Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) admin-

isters the tax laws for the Government of Canada and for most Canadian provinces and territories as well; and D) CRA also manages a variety of economic and social benefit programs which are distributed through the tax system such as CPP, EI and the Universal Child Care Benefit. I disagree with Mr. Baudais’s premise that the federal government’s complete control over the tax rate “can (and will likely) increase it.” Canada’s Conservative government’s guiding principles include lower taxes and less intrusion into citizen’s lives while protecting those citizens from threats domestic and foreign. How about the Revenue Neutral Carbon Tax? Some believe “by 2012/13, the government of B.C. will rely more heavily on carbon tax revenues, as a percentage of totalgovernmentrevenues, than any other nation/state that currently administers a carbon tax, including Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and the Netherlands.” (http:// ep.probeinternational. org/2011/02/18/aldyendonnelly-british-columbias-carbon-tax-quagmire/)

Stand by for the next increase July 1, 2011. Talk about a tax grab! The Liberal provincial government’s recent announcement of a HST reduction to 10 per cent by 2014, while raising the competitive provincial corporate tax rate is an excellent example of “Government will keep monkeying with taxes.” Of course, the kicker is to get the HST reduction voters will have to re-elect the Liberals. Trustworthy Liberal provincial government? B.C. and Ontario are both currently afflicted. NDP provincial government? B.C. and Ontario were almost bankrupted by these governments. Citizens cannot have it both ways. A quote attributed to Margaret Thatcher goes along the lines of: “The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money (to spend).” Liberal government: Stop being creative with the truth. Reduce spending. Get rid of the operating deficit. Citizens: Reduce expectations of something for “nothing,” cause “nothing” is more taxes. Brian Batter, Westbank

To the editor: Re: Larry Plancke’s response to Tom Fletcher’s column on the HST debate. (We’re Not Stupid, Mr. Fletcher, We’re ‘Mad as Hell’ May 25 Capital News.) Right on. Except for one thing. Mr. Plancke advocates voting “No” in the upcoming referendum. If the referendum question were a straightforward one, like: “Do you want to keep the HST? Yes/No,” that would indeed be the way for opponents to go. Unfortunately, the B.C. government has trouble with anything straightforward. Instead, the question is: “Are you in favour of eliminating the HST and reinstating the PST in conjunction with the GST? Yes/No.” With this wording, a “No” vote would be a vote for keeping the HST. If you don’t want to keep it, you have to vote “Yes,” as in, you want it scrapped. The B.C. government worded it this way deliberately. And not just to cause confusion. Should the vote go against them, they can always tell people they voted to bring back the PST, which, after a short interval, might very well be raised to help pay off whatever penalties the federal government

will impose upon their coconspirators for failing to hoodwink the public in the manner agreed upon when their little deal went through. The Liberals are using both the stick (“It will cost you millions to renege on this agreement”) and the carrot (“We’ll be cutting the HST rate soon!” and, “Remember the HST rebate cheques? You still want them, don’t you?”) to convince people to vote their way, but this is no longer about the HST itself. No matter how the referendum goes, the people of B.C. are going to be paying some kind of tax that puts them substantially out of pocket. That’s just how it is. What this referendum really must show is the public’s feelings about trust and accountability. A “Yes” vote will at least let B.C.’s powers that be know that, in future, they should think twice before they try to trick, lie to, or otherwise trifle with, an electorate that has finally run out of patience. Otherwise, it will, as Mr. Plancke said, just be “business as usual.” And we’ll have no one to blame but ourselves. I. Duke Kelowna

Local MLA is toeing the Liberal Party line Open letter to Ben Stewart, Westside-Kelowna MLA: So you think the facts regarding the upcoming HST referendum can best be explained using the stick man vs. straw man. (Stick Man vs Straw Man at Heart of HST Debate, May 20 Capital News) Sir, maybe you are hoping memories fade, because wasn’t it the Liberal Party’s leading car-

toonist’s who engineered and created the “Straw Man” caricature. I believe Premier Campbell and Finance Minister Colin Hansen, created this when they failed to disclose facts about the HST to B.C. citizens prior to the election. How can anyone else be responsible? An independent cartoonist could not have done better.

If, as you say, the facts alone would have supported the HST or “valueadded tax,” why the dishonest approach with its introduction? And sir, if you had knowledge about the HST prior to the election and didn’t share it with us, your constituents, then you also failed in your duties as our MLA. And, surely agreements already concluded with the Gov-

HST benefits kicked back to employees of family business To the editor: HST means money put back into the pockets of employees at a family-owned small business on Vancouver Island. We calculated the savings as a result of the HST and we decided to take that money and give raises to our 38 employees.

We explained to them that this raise was thanks to B.C.’s tax harmonization. We are now saving seven per cent on input tax credits and we are investing that money back into our employees.” Bill and Denise Downs, Victoria

ernment of Canada on the HST would top that list? But, like you stated, “it’s dishonest, but unfortunately it can be a very effective strategy.” Oh, excuse me—you were talking about someone else. Now, Premier Christy Clark has the task of soft-

ening the impact of the HST on families, something never considered earlier. Now it’s your turn Ben, step forward, represent us, and keep us informed. We don’t need a delivery boy. David W. Kuhn, West Kelowna

Brown bag it to help hungry kids As part of national Hunger Awareness Day, Feed The Valley and the Kelowna Community Food Bank will present The Great Canadian Lunch in and Rock Show at Bankhead Elementary School. The event takes place Tuesday, May 31, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. “It’s one day this spring where together we can make a difference in the lives of our hungry kids,” said Lenetta Thordarson, associate executive director at the Kelowna food bank. “Hunger affects us all. Did you know that one in seven kids in the Central Okanagan attends school hungry? “Hungry kids can’t concentrate, struggle to learn, fall behind in school and fall behind in life.” Thordarson invites the public to brown bag it and bring their lunch to Bankhead Elementary, 1280 Wilson Ave., and donate their lunch money towards the food bank’s Kids Nutrition Improvement programs. “We can’t thank Valley First Credit Union and the staff and students at Bankhead enough for helping us organize this community event,” added Thordarson. “Grab the crew from work, come down, have lunch together and enjoy some great music from the Kelowna Rock School.” Hunger Awareness Day was launched by Food Banks Canada in 2005 to raise awareness about hunger in Canada. Although food banks were created in 1981 as a temporary and emergency measure to ensure all Canadians receive their basic food requirements, they have become a necessary part of the social safety net. Feed the Valley is an innovative community partnership aimed at tackling hunger in the region. Designed to raise food, funds and awareness for local food banks, Feed the Valley was developed as a corporate citizenship program at Valley First Credit Union.

Officer admits fatal accident scenes can ‘rip at your heart’ Safe from A1 court system to deal with the matter. After that was done, the accused was put in jail for two and a half years. But, said Middelaer, it wasn’t enough to quench their grief. And, quite frankly, she said, that’s a good thing.

Since that time she’s lobbied for legislative changes to the way drinking and driving has been dealt with. She’s also helped develop Alexa’s Team, which rewards officers for their efforts to remove impaired drivers from the roads. And, if the accomplishments of the crowd gathered were an

indication, it’s working. Among the ranks of those being celebrated was Central Okanagan all star, Const. Bob Charron. For the last 32 years he’s been working to keep Okanagan roads safe, and free of drinking drivers and Charron admits to having seen the scene Middelear described

many times. “It rips at your heart,” he said. “But it makes me want to get up in the morning and go at it every day.” He’s even seen a few changes for the better over the years. “Younger

drivers are more reactive to the initiatives being taken,” he said, noting that it likely means educational efforts are working. “It’s reassuring to know down the line, there will be more of an impact.”

To learn more about Alexa’s team, and the related initiative Alexa’s bus, go to alexasbus.com. Kelowna officers who were honoured as part of Alexa’s Team were: Cst. Cory Schneider, Cst. Troy

Laplante, Cst. Sheldon Herman, Cst. Sean Orb, Cst. Micha Yakonowsky, Cst. Bradley Smith, Cst. Chris Neid, Cst. Bob Charron, Cst. Chad Lucash and Cst. Beth Paetz. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Owls battle Yale in B.C. high school rugby opener Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

As underdogs in 2010, the Kelowna Owls knocked off Earl Marriott in the opening round of the B.C. high school boys AAA rugby playoffs. A year later the No. 10-ranked KSS squad will seek another upset as they battle the seventh-ranked Yale Lions Saturday afternoon in Kamloops in the round of 16. The Owls know they’ll need to be much better than the team that lost to Yale 42-12 in an exhibition game just five weeks ago in Kelowna. KSS head coach Dave Marfleet said his team has taken some big strides since that defeat on Easter weekend. “(Yale) beat us pretty good last time and we know we’re in for a challenge,” said Marfleet, whose team lost just twice this season. “But we’ve

come a ways since then, we’re playing a lot better and the guys are peaking at the right time. The guys are tackling and rucking better than they have all year, and their line-outs have been exceptional. We’re playing well right now.” The Owls, who claimed the Okanagan Valley title last week with a 15-8 win over Kamloops, finished an unexpected sixth at provincials last year, their best showing since 1992. With about half of the current team returning from last year, Marfleet said experience could come into play for the Owls as the provincial tournament progresses. KSS is led by captain Bryce Stirling, fellow Grade 12s Dane Peterson and Marty Wallace, and Grade 11 player Cole Mosychuk. The Owls will be without another key lead-

er in Kyle Patchell who is sidelined with a broken collarbone. Marfleet commended Hayden Miller’s strong play in Patchell’s absence, while Grade 11 scrum half Joey Wallick has also stepped up at key times late in the season. With the players’ commitment to the program, their work ethic and attention to detail, Marfleet said anything is possible over the next week of competition. “This is a really great group of guys that come with a great attitude. All the hard work and commitment has really been impressive. We go four and five days a week, and we have a 90 to 95 per cent attendance rate. There’s a work ethic and dedication to the program that these guys deserve credit for.” The Owls battle Yale at 4 p.m. on Saturday in Kamloops. A win would send KSS to the top half of the championship

Round 2 of the provincials is set for Wednesday,

June 1 in Abbotsford, with the semifinals on June 2, and the final on Saturday, June 4.

Huska renamed an assistant coach to Canadian junior staff Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

A more experienced Ryan Huska will be in behind the bench when Canada’s junior team takes to the ice later this year in Edmonton and Calgary. For the second year in a row, the Kelowna Rockets’ bench boss will work as an assistant on the Team Canada coaching staff for the IIHF World Junior Championship. Huska will serve under head coach Don Hay of the Vancouver Giants,

while Belleville’s George Burnett and Pascal Vincent of Montreal are the other assistants coaches. With last year’s experience at the world juniors in Buffalo under his belt, Huska expects to be better prepared for the 2012 tournament. “I think when I went in last year everything was new, I didn’t really know anybody or a lot of what to expect,” said Huska. “But this time it’s a different ball game in regards to knowing returning players on our team, what the op-

Ryan Huska position is like, the atmosphere, and just everything about the event…I’ll have a better idea. “With the tournament

in Canada, it’s likely going to be much more intense, but that’s all part of it.” Huska worked with Don Hay briefly behind the bench of Team WHL for the Subway Super Series two years ago. He also played for Hay with the Kamloops Blazers back in the 1990s and has plenty of respect for the Giants’ head coach. “It’s a great opportunity to work with him,” Huska said of Hay. “I consider him as a mentor and it’s a chance to work side

by side with him. It’ll be a good experience working with George (Burnett) and Pascal (Vincent), too.” With the tournament returning to Canada after a one-year absence the stakes and pressure will be—as is the case every year—very high. Canada will be trying to reclaim the gold medal after settling for silver in both 2010 and 2011. “The expectations at this level in Canada are always to win,” said Huska. “They haven’t been able to do that the last couple

of years, so that adds some extra pressure. That’s the challenge for us, the players and the coaching staff, to get that gold medal back.” As it did last year, the world junior championship will take him away from his Western Hockey League club for the better part of a month. Huska is grateful to the Kelowna Rockets for his second tour of duty with Hockey Canada. “I’m very thankful for the opportunity again, thankful to (Rockets GM)

Bruce Hamilton for allowing it. It’s a huge sacrifice to have a member of your staff away that long in the middle of a hockey season. I’m very appreciative and fortunate.” Huska will travel to Edmonton in August for the Canadian junior team’s evaluation camp, then will return to Alberta again in mid-December for the final selection camp. The world junior hockey championship is set for Dec. 26, 2011 to Jan. 5, 2012.

Falcons set bar high for 2011 Built on speed and pitching, the Kelowna Falcons have assembled a roster they believe can make a legitimate run at the 2011 West Coast League title. The 33-man list features seven Canadian-born players, including Kelowna’s Graham Drope. An eighth Canadian has been offered a 10-day contract and will be given the opportunity to make the ball club. The club will carry 15 pitchers and 18 positional players, including four of the best athletes from the UBC Thunderbirds. To add to the Canadian flavour the Falcons have hired Al Cantwell as the new head coach. Cantwell was born in Saint John, New Brunswick and grew up in Calgary. He becomes the eighth head coach in franchise history and first Canadian since 2005. Cantwell has spent the last four seasons coaching the C.E. Byrd High School Yellow Jackets in Louisiana. The pitching coach will be Lloyd Gage from Murray State College in rOklahoma. Along with the eight Canadians, the Falcons have recruited nine play-

ers from California, two from Oregon and two players each from the baseball hotbeds of Louisiana and Texas. For the first time in franchise history the Falcons will feature two players from San Diego State University, a team coached by Major League Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn. Three other schools are sending players north for the first time—Cornell University, Louisiana State University-Shreveport (LSUS) and the University of Illinois. Like last season the majority of Falcons will come from Division One schools in the NCAA, including three more players from the University of California, Davis. Last season Dayne Quist from UC Davis was named the WCL Pitcher of the Year. “We’re really excited and like our chances,” said Falcons general manager Mark Nonis. “We have a ton of speed and really good pitching, I know we’ll be a very exciting team to watch this summer. I’ve always wanted to get more Canadians on this team, but up until this year the talent and skill has been tough to find.

The four players from UBC will be a big part of our team.” The Thunderbirds were ranked fifth in the nation for most of the year in the NAIA. Pitcher Jared Mortenson from Abbotsford was 9-1 this year and helped LSUS to the championship round in playoffs. “Ryan Paterson from Duncan is on a 10-day contract and Graham Drope from Kelowna and

Kelly Norris-Jones from Victoria should help to add to our success,” added Nonis. Players and coaches will start to arrive in Kelowna on May 30, with the first official practice on June 2. The Falcons begin the 2011 baseball season on the road June 3 in Bellingham before their traditional free home opener on Friday, June 10 against the Langley Blaze.

Medals for United at Slurpee Cup soccer tournament in Kamloops For the second year in a row Kelowna United U16 girls took home the gold medal from the Slurpee Cup soccer tournament in Kamloops. Kelowna was dominant throughout the May long weekend event, allowing just goal in all of their games. Anchored by the strong defence of Megan Jeffries (one game MVP), Katie Stein, Jessica MacKelden and Rachel McMillan, keeper, and captain Natasha Remesz saw little action, but came up big on a couple of occasions to maintain her shutout until the closing minutes of the

final game. Strong play and some beautiful through balls by midfielders Kandace Robinson, Jaedyn Penkala, Theresa King, Rhea Virk and Santana Tarasewich, led to a number of breakaway plays. Capitalizing on the speed of the United forwards, Olivia Johnson (three game MVP), Megan Johansen, Katarina Bergg, Leaghan Penkala and Kennedy Snape, the girls were able to put a number of spectacular goals in the back of the net.

U15 GIRLS

Kelowna United U15 girls brought home the silver medal in the Division 1 U15 pool at the Slurpee Cup. It was solid play all around, both offensively and defensively for the Kelowna girls, giving up only two goals the entire weekend. After losing their first game to Comox Valley 2-0 Kelowna rebounded strong, winning their next three games to take the silver medal. The second game was a 4-0 win against Prince George, third game was 1-0 win against Terrace and a final win of 4-0 against Abbotsford.

U14 GIRLS

â&#x20AC;˘ United Team White won silver in the girls U14 division in Kamloops. After losing 2-1 in the opener to Semiamhoo, Kelowna beat Shuswap 2-0 and Williams Lake 3-1. In the final, United lost 1-0 to Semiamhoo. Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game MVPs were Lindsay Pistawka, Shealee Johnson, Jazlyn Lazar and keeper Antonia De Pieri. â&#x20AC;˘ United Team Red managed a tie in four games, 1-1 against TOFC U13. United also lost 1-0 to Prince George, 1-0 to Vernon and 2-1 to Kamloops.

UBC Okanagan womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer coach Claire Paterson has added a second recruit from Vernon as Kirsten Dodds has committed to the Heat program for the fall of 2011. The 5-foot-5 striker will look to contend for the vacant striker spot that has opened up after the graduation of fourth year, Emma Nixon, and Sweden-bound CCAA player of the year, Alexa Kennedy. Paterson has keenly watched the development of Dodds for a number of years and is excited to add a player of her abilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I first got the chance to work with Kirsten when she played with the U16 SYL team I coached a few years ago,â&#x20AC;? said Paterson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very impressed with her prowess around the goal and I have been following her career ever since. I am looking

forward to her becoming that goal scoring, impact player for the Heat over the next few years.â&#x20AC;? Dodds is a teammate on the Okanagan FC Pacific Coast Soccer League squad of another Heat newcomer, Michelle Smith. Kirsten has also participated in the Whitecaps FC Vernon Soccer Academy for the past five years. Her extensive soccer background includes playing for B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U16 team. She was also a 2009 invitee to the CSA national training centre west camp, and as a guest player in 2007 with the German Club FSV HĂśhenrain

U17 team, a finalist in the Valtellina Cup in Italy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three or four years ago I may not have picked UBCO as my first choice for university soccer,â&#x20AC;? said Dodds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but having witnessed the growth and success of the team under Claireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership, especially this past season, it is definitely my first choice and I am so excited to be part of it. The mentality and togetherness of the team is awesome and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for the season to get started.â&#x20AC;? After graduating from Kalamalka Secondary, Kirsten will enter UBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Okanagan campus in the Human Kinetics program this September.

Jump starting sports fun for kids Canadian Tire Kelowna will host their 3rd annual Jumpstart Days fundraising event on Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The store will put on a hot dog BBQ in the parkting lot, along with a raffle to win a bike and other family friendly games. f Donations made outside in the parking lot will be matched by the store owner, Keith Gostlin. All proceeds raised that day will go directly to help kids in Kelowna. Inside the store, donations will also be accepted at the tills. Donate $1 and Jumpstart, we will match that donation to $3. One in three Canadian families cannot afford to enrol their children in organized sport or recreation activities because of financial barriers, accoridng to a survey by Ipsos-Reid done in 2009. For 16-year-old Abigail, her family’s limited budget was stretched by a parent illness that required travel across the province for treatment. “It was tough to explain to her why we couldn’t afford to have her in basketball for the next season,” said Abigail’s mom, Carrie Fogg. “The last thing we wanted was to keep her off the court because she just loves playing ball and finds such joy in it.” Kids who are able to participate in organized

By covering the cost

She has a gift and Jumpstart has helped in the development of that gift.”

NEWS ▼ PREDICTIONS OF OUR DEMISE

Doomsday prognostication was another shot in the dark O

n Saturday at 5:45 p.m., two 13-year-olds (one mine) were parading through a campground near Rock Creek warning people about the end of the world. They asked me if I was worried that the world was going to end at 6 p.m. “No. I’m good,” I replied, relaxing in my lawn chair, reading my book. “Then, we’re going to warn others,” they announced. There was no cellphone coverage to text loved ones, so, off they went on their bikes with a can of bug spray, fly swatter and a bottle of sunscreen—to be safe and protected, they explained.

NUTSHELL

Shelley Nicholl They chatted with a few people who, fortunately, were more amused than alarmed. When they returned, the end of the world had morphed into zombies taking over the world. “What’s an apocalypse?” one wondered. “What time is it?” asked the other. Realizing 6 p.m. had passed without a hitch, I offered that it might have been an Eastern Time

Zone prediction and we have another three hours. I think they were going to keep warning people, but the amusement factor had leveled off and they were wondering if I was a zombie. “That would explain a lot,” I thought. While the teenagers weren’t too serious about the inevitably false prediction, the idea did cross their minds in some way, zombie thoughts notwithstanding. Fortunately the publicschool-educated children saw through the ruse and went on with their lives. But, some not so logical people apparently did quit jobs and spend their fortunes.

particular end of the world, an 89-year-old American, Christian radio host named Harold Camping, was alive and well, albeit a bit sheepish and confused, the next day. He had apparently been so convinced, he had spent his fortune advertising this event. Now, Mr. Camping has revised his tiny error, possibly due to a mathematical miscalculation, and is going with an Oct. 21 end date. That’s fine with me. I’d prefer to wait until after summer, anyway. Mr. Camping had previously had a 1994 endof-the-world prediction, but that, of course, was just the end of the world

Attention Pool Owners

Did you know that improper discharge could result in a ﬁne of up to $2,000? The City’s Sanitary Sewer/Storm Drain Regulation Bylaw restricts the discharge of swimming pool or hot tub water that contains disinfectants such as Chlorine or Bromine. You may drain your pool to a dry area on your own lot over a long period of time. However, if you intend to drain your pool into the storm drain or sanitary sewer, there is a procedure you must follow: 1. Dechlorinate the water in your pool. Products are available at local retail outlets for this purpose.

not a successful hobby to have. No one has gotten it right yet. And even if they do, there’ll be no one left to congratulate them. I remember back to junior high when an English teacher with a peculiar sense of humour had us read a poem by a poet known as Mother Shipton. She wrote in 1448 that: “Carriages without horses shall go,” and “Iron in the water shall float, as easily as a wooden boat.” The class all agreed that she had been right so far. Then we got to the fatal last two lines: “And to an end the world shall come in nineteen hundred and eighty-one.” Since it was about 1974 at the time, it shook us up a little. I later found out that someone had changed the date among the lines and it was originally 1881. So, I felt a little better. Now, I’m not so worried about predictions of

our demise. I particularly like the attitude of the New York Police Department (a force that has come close to seeing an end-of-theworld) when asked about concerns about the latest prediction. According to a hopefully reliable Wikipedia source, the NYPD said: “We don’t plan any additional coverage for the end of the world. Indeed, if it happens, fewer officers will be required for streets that presumably will be empty.” Can’t argue with that logic. Just keep an eye out for the zombies.

The world may indeed end one day, but it will likely be due to something blowing up, not a religious purging, as Mr. Camping expects. We’ve weathered all sorts of religious storms over the centuries. Nothing has struck us down yet. But a couple of nuclear bombs with the wrong person at the detonator… now that’s a threat. I don’t mean to mock the prognosticators, (well, of course, I do) but, it’s

Lake Country arts camp draws an international crowd Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

With a successful opening year behind it, Summer Arts Scene for Youth Okanagan Society is gearing up to hold its second summer camp. “Last year, at the end everybody was saying they didn’t want to go home,” said Claudia Kargl the founder, president and artistic director for the week-long camp. Priced at just $150, with supplies, shuttle service (if applicable) and lunches included, the camp gives local, out-oftown and even out-ofcountry kids a chance to explore a wide variety of the valley’s artistic opportunities. And it also gives local artists, musicians and teachers some much needed work employing 14 people for the event.

This year Kargl says she knows she’s already got some kids coming from England and expects there will be others from well outside the area. “The scope of the event was really mindboggling because arts have no boundaries,” she said. Multicultural, multiaged and multi-talented, the group of young students who participated got exposure to a wide array of different learning experiences, which culminated in a chance to exhibit during the Lake Country Art Walk, spurred on by organizer Sharon McCoubrey’s enthusiasm for the quality of work she saw. Courses are combined in multi-disciplinary segments. Students can either opt to take animation, mixed media, wood working and piano;

or creative dance, guitar, photography and fashion design; or musical theatre, painting, hip hop and culinary arts. Selection for participants, who range in age from 9 to 15, are done on a first come first serve basis. The program is held in George Elliott Secondary School where the camp has had access to Creekside Theatre. Responding to parent’s concerns from the previous year, Kargl says they are now offering a shuttle service from West Kelowna to ensure Okanagan kids who live quite far from the location have the means to get there. The shuttle is included in the price. The week’s work culminates at the Arts Gala Extravaganza exhibition and concert held on the Saturday afternoon following the week of work.

Tinhorn Creek Vineyards is a regular pit stop for wine lovers. And now, with the highly anticipated opening of their on-site restaurant Miradoro, they have become a destination for foodies as well. Tinhorn’s owners, Kenn and Sandra Old-

field, paired up with famed Vancouver Restaurateur, Manuel Ferreira to bring us Miradoro Restaurant, which perfectly translates to “golden view” in Portuguese. With executive chef Jeff Van Geest installed at the kitchen helm it is no surprise that Miradoro has been receiving raves from day one. I was a fan of Van Geest’s food back in Vancouver when he owned Aurora Bistro on Main Street. An Okanagan girl at heart, we loved the fact that he offered a B.C. only wine list. Always an advocate of seasonal cooking and supporting local farmers and artisans, Van Geest continues the theme at Mira-

doro. The “market cuisine” menu has a Mediterranean influence, with offerings varying from the sophisticated to simple, with rustic choices like their fabulous wood fire oven pizzas. Van Geest is enjoying his new life in wine country and is excited to be able to essentially be working next door to the farmers who supply him the local ingredients on the menu. The day I met with him, he had just returned from an early morning trout fishing expedition with a friend at a nearby lake. Dedicated to his craft, in preparation for his transition into wine country, Van Geest even joined

the winery team at Black Hills to work for a harvest and crush. He describes life inside the Tinhorn Creek winery as “similar to being in a kitchen” and that he “felt at home.” These two passions are evident in his menu creations and how he pairs his food to the wine. This summer he will also be creating box lunches to go, available for sale at the wine store for visitors who don’t have time to sit down and dine. Welcome to wine country, chef. Go to www.tinhorn. com for more information on the winery, restaurant and their summer outdoor concert series.

Volunteer Centre: Find out where you’ll be happiest Dawn Wilkinson CONTRIBUTOR

A Happiness Monitor, that is the title used by Coca-Cola when canvassing 5,000 Canadians earlier this year. Nice title. What did they find? Whether by giving time or money, nearly half of Canadians say they feel happy when supporting

charitable causes. A total of 14 per cent said they were extremely happy. The top causes receiving gifts of time and money include providing food and nutrition for disadvantaged children, helping animals, protecting the environment, and contributing to medical research. According to this sur-

vey, volunteering occurs most often amongst firstgeneration Canadians, females, and citizens who are older than 25. I recently interviewed Beryl Itani, winner of the Anita Tozer Memorial Award given by Kelowna City Council at the Civic and Community Awards ceremony in April recognizing her extraordinary

and positive contribution to the quality of life in Kelowna. Yes, Beryl is a woman, older than 25 who agrees that volunteering adds happiness to her life. However, Beryl learned from a young age to volunteer. Her parents and grandparents were quick to help others. Giving back to the commun-

ity where you live just made sense. “I believe that volunteering is good for your health,” offers Beryl. “Your life is more vibrant. You get fewer colds and your mind stays alert.” Over the years, one volunteer opportunity led to another. The constant was working in teams with each person doing

their part to make something big happen. “I like to work behind the scenes and get things done that make a difference,” explains Beryl. As a long standing volunteer with Kelowna Community Resources, planning the 2011 Okanagan Volunteer Opportunities Fair is one of Beryl’s current projects.

She invites you to join us at the Volunteer Fair on Saturday, Sept. 17, at Parkinson Recreation Centre. Visit the 80 displays and find a place to volunteer that makes you happy. Dawn Wilkinson is the coordinator for the Community Information and Volunteer Centre. 250-763-8008, ext 24 www.kcr.ca

▼ MOVIE PREVIEWS

KFP2 may be better than the first

ove them or hate them, sequels are part of the Hollywood machine. While “number twos” often live up to the double entendre, the two sequels being released this weekend may not. (However, the first one is more likely to literally have a “number two” in it—and I am not talking about the title).

Rick JACK BLACK returns as the voice of Po (centre) in Kung Fu Panda 2, one of two Davis sequels released this weekend. I find it funny that there is criticism of The Hangover: Part II simply being a remake of the first movie but set in Thailand. The title alone should be a dead giveaway to expect more of the same and that is what I think fans of the first want. This time, Phil (Bradley Cooper), Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and Doug (Justin Bartha) travel to Thailand for Stu’s (Ed Helms) wedding, but after their escapade in Las Vegas, Stu has opted for a safe, subdued prewedding brunch. However, things do not go as planned after they lose the 16-year-old brother of Stu’s fiancée and somehow wake up in Bangkok. Ken Jeong also returns as Mr. Chow, but watch for Paul Giamatti as the main antagonist. Maybe not as many laughs as the first, but I predict that fans will likely flock to Part II for more graphically funny material. Rated 18A with a warning of a sexually suggestive scene and nudity (as well as lots of bad language).

Entertainment

Although it also may look like more of the same, early reviews are saying that Kung Fu Panda 2 is even better than the first with as much heart as laughs and that it is more visually dazzling than the first and makes good use of 3D. Panda Po (Jack Black) is now living his dream as The Dragon Warrior, protecting the Valley of Peace alongside his friends and fellow kung fu masters, The Furious Five. But Po’s new life of awesomeness is threatened by the emergence of a formidable villain, who plans to use a secret, unstoppable weapon to conquer China and destroy kung fu. Po must look to his past and uncover the secrets of his mysterious origins; only then will he be able to unlock the strength he needs to succeed. The impressive voice case again includes Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu, Seth Rogen, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Victor Garber, Michelle Yeoh, Dennis Haysbert, Danny McBride and Gary Oldman.

NEWS â&#x2013;ź XERISCAPING

Water-wise gardens, nurseries uncovered in South Okanagan

ast week, I spent an enjoyable four days leading a group of volunteer gardeners from B.C. and Alberta in cleaning up all the gardens at Naramata Centre. On my â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;freeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Wednesday afternoon, I had a great time exploring the South Okanagan for water-wise gardens and nurseries. Penticton has a well restablished xeriscape demonstration garden in Marina Way Park on Okafnagan Lake, beside the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art gallery. The gardens are organized by water needs with the driest in the centre and rthe most water thirsty in the outer ring closest to the lawn. Last year, they put up excellent signage and plant labels. A box mounted on the main signpost contains an extensive brochure. t At the north end of Oliver, I visited the valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest native plant nursery, Sagebrush. t The nursery recently added many non-native xeriscape species to their excellent collection of Okanagan native plants. Back on the highway, I discovered Future Gardens, a gem of a nursery with very healthy plants, including lots of unusual varieties. Future Gardens carry all types of plants but have a keen interest in promoting xeriscape. Several displays illustrated creative ways of using stonecrops and hen and chick species. Although I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t time to stop, I noticed several examples of attractive xeriscape plantings in public areas along the main road through Oliver. Further on down the highway into Osoyoos, I found Sandhu Greenhouses & Nursery. It is a very large operation with an amazing collection of hardy cactus and yucca species. The highlight of my day was my first visit to the Desert Centre in Osoyoos.

GARDENING WITH NATURE

Gwen Steele Masses of Antelope Brush were in full bloom and the air was filled with bird song. There is an interesting native plant garden at the entrance and an excellent interpretive centre. I did not stop in Summerland on my way home, but I have made many visits to the Summerland Ornamental Gardens dating back to my childhood. In the early 1990s, three acres of gully became the first xeriscape planting in the valley. Hundreds of species were assessed for their ability to live in this climate without supplemental water. About eight years ago, a small demonstration garden was created at the entrance to the ornamental gardens. The site is a lovely place to go for a picnic. Six years after opening, Grasslands Nursery in Summerland is now the valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest xeriscape nursery. With a wide selection of both Okanagan native

and non native xeriscape plants and their demonstration garden, it is definitely worth a visit. Back in Kelowna, I made a delightful discovery. The Greenery has built a new outdoor section for its large perennial ground cover collection. Most of the plants are low water users. I was amazed to find about 100 varieties of stonecrop

(sedum) and hens and chicks (sempervivum)â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the ultimate in easy to grow xeriscape plants. Gwen Steele is executive-director of the nonprofit Okanagan Xeriscape Association. Learn more about Gardening with Nature and plants for the Okanagan on the website: www.okanaganxeriscape.org

▼ ROAD TEST

Infiniti EX35 a crossover for those who like to drive Neil Moore CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

‘Crossover’ is a nebulous term, especially in today’s automotive landscape where this mixed bag includes just about everything between car and SUV. If you’re not quite sure whether something should be labelled a compact sport utility, wagon or some other kind of fivedoor, just call it a crossover and you’re probably OK. A lot of these unibody vehicles, with their relatively high ground clearance and tall packaging, look more like sport utilities.

CONTRIBUTED

INFINITI EX35 for 2011 looks more like a car than a crossover. With its long hood, steeply raked windshield and relatively small greenhouse, complemented by short front and rear overhangs, the EX boasts a sporty profile.

Take the BMW X3, Acura RDX and Volvo XC60, for example. Others, like the Acura ZDX, BMW X6 and the Infiniti EX35—my tester for the week—are much more car-like, blurring the lines between these segments. I’m not entirely sold on the space age looking ZDX, and the bulky X6 is parked somewhere between the handsome truckiness of its SUVs and the classic good looks of its sedans. The EX, on the other hand, is quite fetching, with a shape that is almost coupe-like. See EX35 B2

I think the current crop of Infiniti cars is gorgeous, and the EX borrows wisely from both the G and M sedans. Indeed, this CUV is curvy, but in a way that imparts speed and finesse. The long hood, steeply raked windshield and relatively small greenhouse are complemented by short front and rear overhangs, giving the EX a sporty profile. The rear spoiler and dual chrome exhaust finishers add to its athleticism. But as you’d expect, a car-like shape comes with compromises. A sloping roofline and sculpted rear end look great, but certainly cut down on cargo space. If you want to haul hockey bags, furniture and booty from your weekly big-box shopping trips, opt for a minivan or sport utility. The EX35 is more about performance and personal style, with just a whiff of practicality. The cargo holds in the Volvo XC60, Acura RDX, BMW X3 and MercedesBenz GLK 350 are 873 litres, 788 litres, 550 litres and 450 litres, respectively. The EX35 offers 527 litres (1,342 litres with the rear seats folded flat), putting it near the bottom of its segment. Still, that’s more than you’d get in a similarly sized sedan, not to mention the EX’s additional benefits of a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system— the same one used on the M, FX and G Sedan. All this plus a commanding drive height and sportssedan handling. Rear seat legroom is another compromise, with the EX also offering less than many of its competitors. With the driver’s seat positioned for my fivefoot-nine frame, the back seat wasn’t too cramped, but a carload of six-footers would have been less than ideal. Getting these gripes out of the way, the EX35 See EX35 B3

MOTORING

EX35 appeals to drivers is a joy to drive, and Infiniti engineers got it right in terms of driving dynamics. This vehicle may not be designed as a workhorse, but it’s got the right stuff to appeal to the driving enthusiast. First is the engine. The EX35, as the name suggests, comes with the acclaimed 3.5-litre V6 engine that thas powered many Nissan and Infiniti vehicles. In the EX, it is rated at 297 hp and 253 lb/ft of torque. These numbers may not seem particularly impressive for a nearly twoton vehicle, but with its seven-speed automatic with manual mode (replacing a five-speed), adaptive shift control and rdownshift rev matching, performance is crisp. There are currently no plans to move up to the 3.7-litre engine used in the G37 and M37. Nonetheless, acceleration is smooth and strong at launch, building quickly as you climb in revs. rThe dual exhausts also pour out a nice, aggressive note, adding the vehicle’s sporty appeal. Infiniti’s AWD system uses active torque distribution with an active centre clutch that provides tgood traction and maneuverability on snowy roads along with optimal rearwheel drive performance on dry roads. Combine this with the EX’s proven front midship platform (used in the Infiniti M, FX and G Coupe and Sedan), along with an independent doublewishbone front suspension (with high performance shocks and stabilizer bar) and independent fmulti-link rear (also with high-performance shocks and stabilizer bar), and you have a tossable, tight handling crossover that behaves as well in spirited maneuvers as most sport sedans. Although the EX scores well in style, poise and performance, the interior is where it—and other Infinitis—really shines. The company seems hooked on its wave theme, and the EX35’s driver-focused cabin is similarly tinspired with its signature “double-wave” instrukment panel and swoopy lines and shapes throughout. Overall, the feeling inside is bright and airy, with woodgrain inserts in the door, handles and centre console. Panel gaps are tight

and a nice mix of leathers and soft-touch materials are complemented by double stitching over the over instrument panel and in the door handles, centre armrest and leather seats. Also like many Infinitis, technology plays a major role throughout the interior, and my tester was loaded. In addition to the standard dual-zone climate control; heated power front seats; power windows with safety auto reverse; leather seating, shift knob and steering wheel (with cruise and audio controls); seveninch display; six-speaker AM/FM/XM/CD/MP3 with auxiliary input and USB connection; rearview monitor; and attractive chrome-ringed analog clock, my vehicle (which starts at $42,200) was equipped with another 11-grand worth of extras. The Journey Package at $1,500 includes power moonroof, power tilt/telescoping steering wheel, Bluetooth handsfree phone, maple trim and more. New additions to the Premium package ($4,150) include the 11-speaker Bose Premium Audio System, two subwoofers, 2GB Music Box Hard Drive and the Around View Monitor with front and rear sonar. When you have kids— and toys all over the driveway—the last two features really makes sense. You also get Advanced Climate Control, which uses an air purifier with Plasmacluster technology to help reduce pollutants in the cabin. Bigger 19-inch alloys, adaptive front lighting, two-position driver memory and eight-way power front passenger seat (vs 4-way) round out the package. For 2011, the Navigation package ($2,950) includes a hard drive-based nav system, voice recognition for HVAC, audio and navigation, Zagat restaurant guide, and upgraded audio. The Technology Package is where you get the most bangs for the buck. For a relatively modest $2,500, you get Distance Control Assist (DCA), Intelligent Brake Assist, Lane Departure Prevention System (LDP) with Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) and Blind Spot Warning (BSW). I’ve always liked ICC, not only for its ability to maintain a consistent speed (which is good for fuel economy), but because it can also maintain

a safe distance—even if traffic slows to a crawl. Another spin on this is Infiniti’s Distance Control Assist, which uses the ICC’s laser rangefinder to locate the vehicle in front and calculate the distance and closing rate. If you’re closing in too fast, the system alerts you and will even push back on the accelerator. If after all the warning lights and chimes, the system senses that you’re still heading towards a crash, Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) will apply braking and is, apparently, even able to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. I’ll take the company’s word on this, as I couldn’t find anybody willing to stand in front of my speeding vehicle. Both LDP and the LDW use a small camera behind the windshield to detect lane markers and determine the vehicle’s position within the lane. Drift to one side or the other—without signaling—and LDW provides a series of beeps. LDP ups the ante even further, by selectively braking to gently guide you back to the centre. As you’d expect, these systems don’t work on snowy roads, or when the white lines are badly faded. They are, otherwise, quite effective—and perhaps too effective—if you are the kind of driver who likes to ‘find your line’ in the twisty turnies, or spend time on narrow roads. In that case, just turn it off. There’s still much more to the EX35, and if you’re in the market for something a little sportier than the typical crossover, it’s definitely worth a look. Sure, $53,300 (plus delivery and prep) is at the top end of many budgets, but consider that even the base vehicle at $42,200 offers a load of standard content. All this, plus a modicum of utility and the kind of performance and handling that should appeal to those who like to drive.

Chevrolet Cruze Eco sets standard for highway fuel consumption Lorne Drury

the GTA climbs above the $1.35 per litre mark, more and more people will be looking for ways to make their commuting dollars stretch a little further. Starting at just $19,495, the Cruze Eco comes with a Natural Resources Canada fuel economy rating of 4.6L/100 km (61 mpg) highway for manual transmission models. That is the lowest highway fuel consumption of any gas-powered car in Canada today. The city rating is also an impressive 7.2L/100 km (39 mpg). And this is all with a 1.4-litre turbocharged inline four-cylinder gasoline engine that

CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

PORT PERRY, Ont.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;So what kind of driving do you do? Is it mostly highway, mostly city, or a combination of the two? If your answer is mostly highway, listen up. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go the more expensive hybrid or diesel route to get great fuel economyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;just give the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze Eco a try. While the plug-in Chevrolet Volt is getting all the ink, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cars like the Cruze Eco that will sell in much higher numbers. And as gasoline in

also delivers decent performance, producing 138 hp and 148 lb/ft of torque. So how does Chevrolet achieve this head-ofthe-class fuel consumption rating? Quite simply, it comes through improved aerodynamics, lighter weight and powertrain enhancements. According to Paul Hewitt, GM Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s product manager for the Chevrolet Cruze, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;special treatmentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; were used to make the car more fuel-efficient. Many of these tweaks were developed and refined in more than 500 hours of wind tunnel test-

ing of the Volt which shares some of the basic architecture with the Cruze, which was named 2011 Car of the Year by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada. An example of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;special treatmentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; used on the Eco to improve fuel economy are air shutters in the lower grille that open and close based on speed and cooling needs of the engine to improve the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aerodynamics. This alone reduces the drag coefficient by 0.16 and this is the only application of this technology on a car in the compact segment.

The car also sits 10 mm lower than the other Cruze models and has a unique front air dam extension, a rear spoiler and underbody panels to smooth the airflow. In all, aerodynamic drag was reduced by 10 per cent as the Eco comes in at 0.298, tops in the compact segment among mainstream vehicles. The use of lighter, high-strength steel helped contribute to a weight reduction of 97.2 kg (214 lb) compared to the Cruze LT Turbo.

In all, 42 changes were made to the Eco to reduce weight, bringing it in at 1,367 kg (3,009 lb). The Eco also features lighter wheels and tires. The 17-inch alloy wheels weigh only 16.6 kg (36.5 lb) each, 2.4 kg (5.3 lb) less than the ones on the Cruze LT Turbo. Low rolling resistance tires also add to the fuel savings. All in all, there are a lot of features here that would appeal to the costconscious among us. But none of this would matter if it were simply a cheap

car. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of value to be found here with features like 10 standard airbags, anti-lock brakes, traction control and stability control.

per cent of all sales here in Canada. And with the new Cruze, GM hopes to increase its market share against segment leaders like the Toyota Corolla, Mazda3, Honda Civic and the Hyundai Elantra. I had an opportunity to drive both manual and automatic versions of the Cruze Eco during a recent outing with a small group of auto journalists. During the leisurely six-hour event, we drove north from Toronto to the picturesque town of Port Perry and back with a lunch stop thrown in. The morning drive was a mixture of urban and rural, both highway and secondary roads in a black granite metalliccoloured Cruze Eco with a fsix-speed automatic transmission ($1,450). Also included was a Connectivity Package ($745) featuring Bluetooth, six-month OnStar subscription, USB port and steering wheel audio controls. A driver information centre ($275) and premium paint ($195) completed the option list, bringing the total to $22,760. The cabin is plain, yet well finished and what strikes you after a couple of hours driving, is how quiet it is. Not something you would expect in an economy car like this. The ride is firm, yet not overly so and the electric steering performed well in city and highway situations. In all, this was a very enjoyable car to drive and with the automatic transmission it has a Transport Canada fuel economy rating of 5.1L/100 km (55 mpg) on the highway. On the way home, I got into a silver ice metallic Cruze Eco six-speed manual with similar options as the earlier car. It priced out at $21,855. Not many people will opt for the manual transmission, but if fuel economy is your number one priority, it’s the way to go. The Eco is the only Cruze model that offers a stick shift. The transmission’s gearing is optimized for fuel economy with a ‘tall’ sixth gear ratio for highway driving, resulting in lower revs. It also means you may have to downshift to pass slower cars, but I spent most of the drive home on three and fourlane highways and didn’t have to overtake any one in a hurry. I found the clutch a bit touchy, but it might be

Nissan adds some heat to their practical Sentra compact Neil Moore CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

Launching in 1982 and now six generations later, Nissan’s compact Sentra is still a wallflower. I’m not saying that it’s unattractive—far from it—but without the horn and flashing lights on your remote key fob, you’d be hard pressed to find it in a Costco parking lot on any

given Sunday. Thankfully, however, this practical little family sedan, with plenty of passenger and cargo room, sensible interior, and loads of available amenities, has an evil twin that is anything but dull. The Spec V is Nissan’s answer to such sport compacts as the Civic Si, Golf GTI and Lancer Ralliart. It has been around

since 2002 and like these other variants of dependable but also plain-Jane family haulers. It offers the kind of power, performance and handling that appeals to the driving enthusiast—not the typical buyer you’d find in the compact segment. But first a little background on the mainstream Sentra. The base model, start-

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you get for another $1,400: a higher output 2.5-litre engine that delivers 200 hp and 180 lb/ft of torque (with a significantly higher redlineâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;7,000 vs 6,200 rpm), six-speed manual transmission, bigger front rotors (12.6â&#x20AC;? vs 11.7â&#x20AC;?) and â&#x20AC;&#x153;superâ&#x20AC;? sport-tuned suspension which has also been lowered by 20 mm. Yes, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still more, but they had me at 200 horses. Although Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like even more juice, 200 horsepower competes solidly with Honda and VW. Like the Spec V, the Golf GTI delivers 200 hp, but more torque at 207 lb/ ft, thanks to its 2.0-litre, turbo four. But this comes at a much higher starting price, with the three-door at $28,875 and five-door at $29,875. Honda is also priced significantly more, with the Si starting at $25,990 for the redesigned 2012 model. If you compare both 2011 models, the Sentra provides only three more hp, but loads more torque, with the Si delivering a scant 139 lb/ft. The 2012 Si, with its 2.4-litre powerplant, has that problem licked, but still comes up 10 lb/ft short of the Spec V. I can mention other competitors as wellâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;like the Ralliart and Subaruâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s WRXâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but both deliver scads more power (253 and 265 hp, respectively), and start at just under (and just over) 32-grand. Which makes the Spec V seem a bargain at $23,398. And you get more than just a basic car with some performance upgrades. The Spec V comes equipped with power windows, locks and mirrors, air, manual tilt steering, six-way manual adjustable driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat (fourway for front passenger), leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter knob, and six-speaker, 160-watt AM/FM/CD/USB audio system with 4.3-inch colour display. My one gripe here is that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get Bluetooth at this trim level, although it is available in other Sentras. Instrumentation includes twin pod meters on the centre dash with oil pressure and G-sensor displays, along with the usual speedo, tach and multimode display with coolant temperature, fuel con-

sumption, outside temp and trip odometer. On the outside, Spec V trim includes lower body side sill extensions and rear fascia, smoked headlight surround, smoked taillights and rear spoiler. Sure, coupes and threedoor hatchbacks may look hotter, but for those like me who want sizzle, but have kids to load in back, four doors is a plus. And speaking of the back seat, the Spec V, like all Sentras, offers plenty of head and legroom, although you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a centre armrest as you do in other models. Nor do you get the 60/40 split fold, as this variant has a V-brace behind the rear seat for added rigidity. Still, the trunk offers a respectable 340 litres of cargo space, which is more than enough room for a couple of golf bags or a weekend away. Practicality aside, the Spec V delivers plenty of fun for the dollar; with good launch and acceleration that builds as you approach its 7,000 rpm redline. It is a pleasure to snap through the gears with its short-throw shifter, and with the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lowered height and higher spring rates, it is also a joy in the turns. My tester also included the helical limitedslip differential for added traction, part of the sport package ($1,400) that also includes a power moonroof and upgraded eightspeaker Rockford Fosgate audio system. Does it capture the imagination of the sport compact enthusiast? Perhaps not yet, which is part of the appeal, as you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see many of these on the road today. And starting at just over 23-grand, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yet another reason to give this sporty sedan a closer look.

Honda Civic Hybrid claims top fuel economy in class

cooling. The CVT transmission was improved in many ways including reducing friction wherever

possible. Aerodynamics also plays a role that begins with underbody panels

designed especially for the Hybrid. A functional spoiler was added to the trunk and the wheel cov-

ers were designed to block air from inside the wheel wells to reduce drag. Lastly, one of the only

ways you can spot a Hybrid from another 2012 Civic is the grille opening is smaller with one of the

horizontal grille slats in a light blue colour. See Civic Hybrid B12

LANDOVER, Md.: With the 2012 Civic Hybrid, Honda is claiming ‘world’s best fuel economy within the class’ with a rating of 4.4/4.2L/100 km city/highway. While Honda’s Intelligent Motor Assist (IMA) tprinciple where the battery augments engine power remains the same, much has changed in terms of the mechanicals. Of those changes the most significant is a tswitch from a pack consisting of 132, individual nickel metal hydride battery cells to a box-shaped flithium ion container with 40 cells. The new battery, twhich is placed perpentdicularly behind the back seat, produces three times the power of the older battery pack. The new battery, which produces 20 kW of power or 27 hp, is also t lighter at 22 kg versus 31 kg for the older unit. Engine power is provided by a 1.5-litre twincam inline four-cylinder with variable valve timing. Engine and battery have a combined 110 hp and 127 lb/ft of torque. / Much was done on cutting weight and simplifying components for better overall fuel economy. For instance there is t a new electric motor that is lighter but more efficient due to improved

▼ HONDA CIVIC HYBRID

System is simple to use Civic Hybrid B11 The Hybrid IMA system is simple for a driver to use and understand. At a stop, the engine and motor are switched off. From rest, the motor and engine work together with the driver deciding how much motor power he/she wants by the amount of pressure on the gas pedal and visual depiction. During low-speed

cruising, only the motor provides power. When braking or going downhill, the motor acts as generator supplying regenerative baking power to the battery. Pricing will be announced later in the year when the Hybrids start arriving in Honda showrooms.

Driving with Cyclists: Stay safe on the road for Bike to Work Week By Kate Wells, DriveWise BC

When many people on our roads today learned to drive, they didn’t have many other road users to share the road with. Today, road users can often include cyclists, pedestrians, skateboarders and many others. Bike to Work Week is a popular province-wide campaign that includes communities all over British Columbia. It’s an exciting week that helps kick off “better weather” and above all exercise and recreation! However, it can be a difﬁcult week for some drivers if they are not open to sharing the road with cyclists. There are rules of the road you need to know when you are sharing the road – rules that help keep cyclists and drivers safe. Here are a few: 1. Shoulder check! By looking over your shoulder before entering trafﬁc, moving to the right, before

opening your door to exit your vehicle or any time you pull away from the curb you MUST shoulder check. 2. Be extra careful when passing other vehicles. Make sure you can see well ahead before you begin to pass. Check for cyclists. 3. Scan intersections BEFORE you enter them! Watch for cyclists making left turns in intersections and watch for cyclists riding through an intersection as you are about to make a left turn. Don’t assume cyclists are slow; many cyclists are fast and can travel the same speed as vehicles. 4. Following distance – Allow plenty of room when following a cyclist. If a cyclist falls, you as a driver need to have space to avoid hitting the cyclist. 5. Allow side margins – To avoid side swiping a cyclist, always allow space between you and the cyclist beside you. You are allowed to cross a single solid yellow line (provided it’s safe) to go around a cyclist.

If you have the option, change lanes and drive in the lane away from the cyclist. Give the cyclist room! 6. Hand signals – An experienced cyclist will know the proper hand signals when they are turning or changing direction. Many drivers are not familiar with the correct signals. Here they are:

7. Stay alert – This is not a time for texting, talking on your cell phone or anything else that divides your attention while you are driving. Things happen with only a split second to react. If you are not alert, tragedy can happen especially with cyclists and pedestrians. SLOW DOWN!

WELBOURN, FRANK ALEXANDER June 21, 1928 - May 23, 2011

It is with deep sorrow we announce the passing of Frank (Sandy) Welbourn. Loving father to Margot (Maggie). Sandy passed away peacefully after a brief battle with cancer. Predeceased by his loving wife Mary, he is also survived by son-in-law Stan Sauerwein, grandchildren Amy, Brock and Carson and sisters Nora Dietlein (Saltspring) and Patricia Lorsch (Boston). Sandy grew up on the family farm near Edmonton and excelled academically, graduating from high school several years early. He started his working life at a local branch of the Bank of Montreal before seeking a variety of new challenges including doing books for a gas station, owning a hardware store and dabbling in insurance, all before the age of 21. With that real world experience, he joined fledgling Pacific Western Airlines as a bookkeeper and soon assumed management duty for the airline in Whitehorse, YT. He met the love of his life, Mary Hamm, in Whitehorse and the couple married in Edmonton in 1955. A year later, daughter Margot was born and accepting another transfer, Sandy moved his young family first to Vancouver and then to Tsawwassen. During his years with aviation, he served in numerous industry capacities including a stint as President of the Abbotsford Air Show. When Canadian Pacific Airlines purchased PWA in 1987, Sandy transferred to Calgary as a senior vice-president and completed his 30-year career in the airline industry the following year. Among Sandy’s proudest accomplishments was his transformation of an overgrown acreage in Trochu, Alberta. Sandy discovered the 10-acre property was home to a wide variety of exotic trees. He and Mary lovingly restored the site and sold it to the Town of Trochu after several years of hard work in order to create the Trochu Arboretum as a legacy to future generations. Upon moving to Westbank in 1990, Sandy generously volunteered his time, assisting many groups including the Friends of Fintry and the Central Okanagan Heritage Society. Sandy started each day asking himself: “Who am I becoming today?” He shared his generous spirit with his friends and family and particularly cherished the relationships nurtured with the people he worked alongside as a volunteer. Sandy faced his end with dignity and courage, never complaining. In lieu of flowers, the family requests the consideration of donations in Sandy’s name to the Central Okanagan Heritage Society, 1060 Cameron Ave, Kelowna, BC V1Y 8V3 or Trochu Arboretum Society, Box 340, Trochue, AB T0M 2C0. Date and time of a Celebration of Life will be announced at a later time. To send a message of condolence, please visit www.hansonsfuneral.com Private arrangements entrusted to the care of
