Joe Sardinha, He and Kelowna-Lake BCFGA president Country MP Ron Cannan spoke to delegates at the 122nd annual general meeting of the B.C. Fruit Growers Association today in Penticton. BCFGA president Joe Sardinha said that receipt of that money can be attributed to efforts by the BCFGA to gain public support for the industry by setting up booths at farmers’ markets throughout the province this year to bring attention to the low returns the industry is suffering under. “The public told MLAs there should be more support for farmers,” he noted, and this funding is a direct result of that. General manager Glen Lucas said it was a really positive approach that captured the public’s attention. “It was immensely successful. Of course, now we need new ideas to make it as successful next year,” he added. Sardinha said B.C. Tree Fruits has already received some of the funds for promotional work other than advertising, while the Sterile Insect Release program received $75,000 toward a $400,000 pilot program. More projects will get underway in the coming year, including some innovation in packing equipment or new technology such as an electronic defect sorter, said Sardinha.

FORMER OLYMPIC alpine skier Emily Brydon was the keynote speaker at the welcoming luncheon for visiting athletes competing in the 2011 International Children’s Games.
Olympian inspires competing athletes Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
Canadian Olympic skier Emily Brydon still remembers her first ever international ski competition. It wasn’t so much the event she recalled, speaking Wednesday to hundreds of athletes at the
welcoming luncheon at the 2011 International Children’s Games in Kelowna, it was the friends that she made. “I got to Europe and
saw the culture and realized it was about so much more than the actual sport,” said Brydon, an alpine skier who went to the Olympics three times and won nine medals on the World Cup circuit. “It was so great to experience that. The reason I am standing here is because I share the passion for sport
that you do. But I understand there is a bigger passion than just winning. “It’s about taking what you can out of sport, it’s about the friends that you make and the goals you want to achieve and it’s about overcoming adversity.” As youth from cities from across Canada,
the United States, Europe and Australia continued to arrive at the luncheon at The Delta Grand, Brydon challenged the young athletes to make as many friends as they could during the four-day event. “I really encourage you to make those friendSee Olympian A5

▼ COMMERCIAL RECYCLING
Curtailing recyclables thrown out in the trash Barry Gerding
Not fit for garbage list
EDITOR
Most Central Okanagan residents have adapted to the idea of recycling. They separate their garbage at home, keep the recyclable material from being tossed into local landfills under the public education guidance of the regional waste reduction office. But something happens when those same people go to work. The recyclable mentality seems to disappear. It’s gotten so bad that the City of Kelowna and regional waste reduction office feel the need to take action. Peter Rotheisler, waste reduction manager for the regional waste reduction office, said commercial waste disposal companies will face a $150 per metric tonne surcharge for dumping banned material at the Glenmore Landfill. “That fine will be assessed to the commercial garbage hauler, and it will be up to them to recov-

A display was set up for the local media on Thursday to see first-hand what sort of recyclable material is being illegally trashed. Everything from food scraps and kitchen appliances to cardboard —which was banned from landfills almost 15 years ago—and bever-

age containers was on display where it otherwise shouldn’t be seen. “A comprehensive study conducted at the Glenmore landfill in 2010 showed that about 50 per cent of the garbage originated from local businesses and multi-family developments could have been diverted into an existing recycling program,” Rotheisler said. As a comparison, the study showed 30 per cent
of residential home garbage could have been recycled. “As it stands now, huge amounts of materials which can be easily diverted are still filling up our landfill, materials such as plastic film, metal, cardboard and paper products. There is no reason for these items to be thrown in the garbage when a variety of other disposal options are available.” The cost factor for the
city, Rotheisler said, is by not adhering to the recycling rules, the life of the Glenmore landfill will shorten. “We can extend the life of the landfill another 10 or 15 years by following our recycling practices,” he said. “And that is a significant cost savings for the city the longer the landfill’s life can be extended. “Our message is be informed, know your waste,
make a plan.” (See the sidebar above for a list of the recyclable materials. As well, small appliances will be banned in April of this year, and clean wood will be banned in the future.) Local waste haulers have been informing their customers of ensuing surcharges to be applied to loads containing banned items, and are in the process of helping their customers make the required
changes to the way they manage their waste. The Regional Waste Reduction office is also spearheading a comprehensive education campaign about the program and will be assisting local businesses improve their waste practices.

consultation with the B.C. Agriculture Council, the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association and the B.C. Grain Producers’ Association. Many of their members would be glad to have hunters enter their property to hunt because it would reduce herds of wild elk or sheep or flocks of waterfowl that decimate their stores of feed. BCWF members holding the passport would also serve as the landowner’s eyes and ears for trespassers who might be doing damage to rangelands or crops, fences or even animals. They would also be able to report sightings of sick or injured animals, downed fences or anything else amiss far from the ranch house, noted Arnold. “We really listened to what landowners had to say about issues accessing private land and looked for workable solutions. This program ensures that our members understand that access to private land is a privilege and pledge to work in partnership with landowners,” he said. Obtaining the passport would be of interest not only to hunters, but also anglers or even those

Passport holders would be provided with a passport identity card and a form where conditions for access can be detailed, to give to landowners whose land they wanted to access. “No one would be forcing themselves on a landowner. The program is completely voluntary,” said Arnold, who has been working for the past four years to set up the program. Ultimately, he said there will be an interactive website where land owners interested in the program could enquire, but at present those interested should call him at
250-833-1155. Landowners may wish to post signs indicating that those holding the Outdoor Passport are welcome to come and ask about accessing the private land, noted Arnold. “We see BCWF members with an Outdoor Passport assisting farmers and ranchers to mitigate crop damage and loss of income due to wildlife issues,” said Greg Norton, chair of the Agriculture Environment Initiatives with the BC AgriculturaI Research and Development Corporation jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com
man is alive today thanks to the “determination and quick thinking” of local officers. Last Wednesday evening, police were called to the 2000-block of Abbott Street after a 65-year-old man’s wife reported him missing. “Investigation revealed circumstances that indicated that the man may attempt to harm himself,” said Const. Steve Holmes. Officers found a written note that indicat-
ed where the man may be and while one officer stayed with his wife, Const. Jennifer Hunter headed to Okanagan Lake on foot. She found the man, barely conscious, on the shore. He was soaking wet and the temperatures were below freezing. “She immediately wrapped the man in her patrol jacket and called for emergency services, who took the hypothermic man to hospital for treatment,”
said Holmes. He is expected to make a full recovery. “It is not known how long the man had been in the water but with air temperatures below zero, it is certain that the man would likely have perished if he had not been found when he was,” said Holmes. Hunter, said Holmes, is the same officer who extricated a person from a submerged vehicle in the McKinley reservoir last year.

looking for a spot to picnic or walk, said Arnold. In order to receive the passport card, BCWF members would have to read through the online orientation, then pass a test on the program, which is based on common sense and understanding and respect of a landowner’s rights. The first such passport would cost $30 and it would cost $15 in successive years. Part of that goes toward paying for extra insurance which land owners can access free of charge through the BCWF if they participate in the passport program.

Morneau was given six months of jail time, two years probation and will be registered as a sex offender for the next 10 years, with his DNA in the national databank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The impact on the victims was serious even in this advanced technological age,â&#x20AC;? said Sinclair, noting one of the girls involved stated she has a new â&#x20AC;&#x153;fear of peopleâ&#x20AC;? in her victim impact statement. Now 33 years old with two boys of his own and a young stepdaughter, Morneau was told he could only have contact with his own three children over the Internet, or while employed in paid or voluntary work, once heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out on probation. He is currently married to his second wife, having met both his wives over the Internet. He was also sentenced for another crime related to his Internet relationships. During the course of investigating his activities with the first three underage victims, police discovered Morneau also engaged in a relationship with 16-year-old girl from Germany in the time period between his two marriages. Her parents consented to let her visit him in B.C. the court was told and the pair took sexually explicit photographs during the course of the visit, fitting the legal definition of pornography. Charges related to making and distributing pornography were laid in that case as well. Sinclair sentenced him to 45 days to be served concurrently with the sixmonth jail term.
During sentencing, Morneau was said to have complied with the inves-
tigation fully, telling officers he â&#x20AC;&#x153;would do anything to stop.â&#x20AC;?
He told investigators sex was not discussed in his family or in the Chris-
tian school he attended growing up. The judge described
him as at a very low risk to re-offend. But Sinclair added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the linch-

ALTERNATE arts festival organizer Gabe Cipes holds up the poster for the upcoming Ecotone Festival being held on Saturday, Feb. 5, starting at 4 p.m.
▼ ECOTONE FESTIVAL
Olympic legacy grant proves useful Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Though the crowd will be filled with those who more likely opposed Vancouver hosting the Winter Olympics last year, legacy funds from that event will pay for one of Kelowna’s most popular alternative arts festivals this year. The Ecotone Festival—Conduit Festival—which was originally known as Cakewalk, will have some serious backing when organizers throw open the doors of the Rotary Centre for the Arts next month. Money given to the city from the provincial
Spirit Festival fund, then redistributed to this event’s organizers, will pay for bigger headliners, like Yukon Blonde, and a decidedly eco-centric affair. “We’re in the midst of a cultural shift; we need to change things like how we live,” said organizer Gabe Cipes, noting he believes cutting-edge creativity is primarily focused on the planet’s future. Ecotone was renamed from the new name it got last year—Conduit—as the moniker is also associated with the Google search engine. Originally Cipes had explained the festival would act as a conduit for

the grassroots movement for social and environmental change. The festival, planned for Feb. 5, focuses on things like small plot intensive farming, an urban farming method generally referred to as SPIN-farming; permaculture; and the Sylix Okanagan world perspective. All too often, Cipes says, festivals are now more business junkets bent on selling a product or perspective. “This (Ecotone) is actually the people who are doing stuff,” he said. “They’re the ones saving seed and starting gardens and shaping the system, shaping our society by empowering themselves to be a part of nature.” Whether one views the Olympic funds as ironic or not, the Ecotone festival really suited the mandate of the legacy funds.
“The application for the spirit festival funding was pretty well looking for our festival,” said Cipes. “We helped to bring in a lot of money for the arts.” The artist forms in the event include everything from graffiti artists like Wyatt Parker, Bryar Gates and Colin Kavanagh to A Woodside Design Gallery owner Allisa Woodside Design. Exhibitors include places like Sunshine Farms, Okanagan-Naturopathic Healthcare and Left over Hippies. The event needs to attract 1,000 people to be sustainable. Cipes says he believes they hit that target last year—although only 60 per cent paid. A minimum $10 donation is needed at the door per person. The festival runs Saturday, Feb. 5 from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m.

Playing host to the world
T
wo months ago, probably very few people in Kelowna were familiar with the International Children’s Games. But in the weeks since, the local media has done its part to help that public education process. And with the athletes now arriving in town this week, coupled with the number of local competitors making up the Team Kelowna contingent, it’s not hard to get enthusiastic about watching these 12 to 15 year old
athletes about to receive an experience of a lifetime. For many, it might be the only international athletic competition they are ever are a part of, for others the only chance they will get to visit Canada, or British Columbia, or Kelowna. The numbers say a lot about the commitment to the first winter version of the ICG taking place in Canada. There will be 470 athletes taking part along with 126 coaches. Some 38 cities from
around the world represented. Team Kelowna will have 69 athletes and 19 coaches taking part. There will also be 800 volunteers and more than 100 local billeting families helping the organizational effort of the ICG, which will wrap up on Sunday with the closing ceremonies at the Delta Grand. As this editorial is being written yesterday afternoon, the opening ceremonies in a packed Prospera Place will have taken place last night, and from all
indications it was expected to be a great kick-off for the event. While the competition and winning a medal will register big-time with the athletes and their coaches, we hope that the athletes also have an opportunity to meet one another beyond just at a starting line or over a face-off circle. To share knowledge about one another, to enjoy the common bond of competing in these Games should be part of something they will remember for the rest of their lives.

NDP’s problems go deeper than money-memberships flap
A
s last week’s deadline for NDP leadership candidates to sell memberships approached, the Adrian Dix campaign brought in stacks of memberships and bags of money, which was then divvied between the memberships. Rival candidates Harry Lali and Mike Farnworth cried foul, but party brass quickly decided they’d accept the memberships. As stinky as all this is, it’s not the NDP’s biggest problem. Dix launched his campaign with a speech about wealth redistribution. “Analysis…demonstrates that the polarization of wealth and power, and the growth of poverty, have very significant financial and social costs
imposed on our children and our communities,” he said. Dix didn’t indicate how he intends to correct this “morally wrong” situation where some have lots of money and others don’t. But another political controversy in Vancouver offers a clue. B.C. Liberal MLA Kash Heed is being investigated by the RCMP over campaign leaflets distributed to the Chinese community in 2009. The problem wasn’t their content, but their anonymous nature and how they were paid for. One leaflet claimed the NDP sup-
ports a “death tax” on inheritance. But if you look up the B.C. NDP constitution, you’ll find it starts by declaring loyalty to “democratic socialist Tom principles,” defined as: “a) the producFletcher tion and distribution of goods and services shall be directed to meeting the social and individual needs of people and not for profit, b) the modification and control of the operations of monopolistic productive and distributive organizations through economic and social planning towards these ends, and c) where necessary, the extension of
VICTORIA VIEWS
the principle of social ownership.” This is watered down from old NDP philosophy, which talked about nationalizing banks and industries. Dix and leadership rival John Horgan both worked for the NDP governments of the 1990s. Horgan describes what he calls a “capital strike” that hit B.C. after the NDP was elected. His terminology hints at a conspiracy of capitalists to pull investment from B.C., to punish the NDP. To Horgan I would reply that this is an understandable reaction by investors to a party that remains explicitly opposed to profit. To Dix, I would say I look forward to his analysis of the terrible effects of income inequality in the developed
world. My understanding is that if it weren’t for private capital, competition and rewards for efficiency and innovation, there wouldn’t be much of a developed world to analyze. The root of the recent turmoil in the NDP has been described as a lack of policies. That’s not accurate. Judging by the party’s foundation document, the problem is policies so discredited they can’t mention them. Actually there is a modern policy that equalizes wealth by supporting the poor and placing more of the burden on those most able to pay, while encouraging investment. It’s called the harmonized sales tax. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

▼ GOV’T BUDGETS
We should see savings from all the budget watching To the editor: I was interested to note our new fire chief, in his first introductory interview with the local media (City’s New Fire Chief Reports for Duty, Jan. 5 Capital News), said he wanted to meet all the firemen and then his first priority was the fire department budget. Over the years it has always amazed me the importance all levels of government put in “the budget” or manipulating the budget. I have had exposure or have done business with various government operations and I have
realized the most necessary item required at budget time is spending all of the previous year’s budget to justify an increase for the coming year. Over the years the Kelowna Fire department has been performing regular safety inspections throughout the city and I believe they added another four more inspectors last year. These inspectors, along with new stringent building codes pertaining to fire safety, new construction using superior fire proof building
materials, new sophisticated fire fighting machines, and equipment, all must dramatically reduce fire incidents and costs. It seems to me taxpayers in Kelowna should be seeing yearly reductions in fire department costs. The Kelowna city council could learn from Penticton—restraint should be pro -active and not the reactive disaster that has arisen not only in Penticton, but, lately, almost all over North America .

▼ INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
Canada must take blame for Haiti’s predicament To the editor: I was deeply saddened by the smug attitude of your recent editorial (A Pause for Thought, Jan. 19 Capital News) on Haiti. “From Haiti’s cholera-ridden streets, we in Canada should have a new appreciation for what we have, especially for the basics of food, water, shelter and well run government.”
Leaving aside the fairy tale of “we” in Canada all having the basics, what about that last part: “well run government”? Our well run government helped kick out the democratically elected president of Haiti; our well run government paid out over a million bucks recently to finance a phony election where the major party was excluded; our well-
run government prioritizes training more police and building more prisons while people live in tents. Unfortunately the list of Canada’s crimes in Haiti is too long for a letter to the editor. And who brought the cholera to Haiti? Let’s get the facts on how Haiti got where it is today. In addition to the ex-
cellent website canadahaitiaction.ca, it happens that two Canadians who are very knowledgeable on Haiti are coming soon to Kelowna. Yves Engler, author of Canada in Haiti, will be speaking Monday, Jan. 31, at Okanagan College, room H-115, 7 p.m. Roger Annis from Canada Haiti Action will speak Feb. 5. Though the self-satis-
fied ignorance of your editorial is very unbecoming, one thing you did get right: “The Haitian people haven’t given up on their nation.” They need the help that was pledged to them (90 per cent of which has yet to arrive) and to be able to run their own country. Mark Haley, Kelowna
Westbank Chamber on sidelines of growth To the editor: As a Westbank Chamber of Commerce member I am surprised and disappointed that the Westbank Chamber has not taken a supportive position on the Mission Hill Family Estate Winery development project; in fact I have not seen anything pro or con from the chamber. Is it not the mandate of chambers to support business growth and the well being of business members in their community? Here we have a project that will strengthen the tax base greatly and create many service industry jobs for local businesses. The economic spin off from a project of
this magnitude would be huge and benefit so many local businesses from new supply businesses, hotels and restaurants that will experience increased tourism as West Kelowna becomes a world class tourist destination. We have the WFN developing their lands into commercial properties for large box stores and small retail business but we can’t compete with the land requirements for that type of development; so we need to find a non-competitive means to grow West Kelowna into its full, sustainable potential with enhancement of business enterprises like the Mission Hill project would. It is the task of a local
chamber to locate, evaluate and support such projects, working with the local West Kelowna Economic Development Department to create a balanced growth pattern. The statistics indicate that the Mission Hill project will be worth $110 million, generate $1.672 million in taxes, employ 420 staff, have an annual salary outlay of $19.3 million and various contracts within West Kelowna worth $2 million. This project generates a sustainable tax base and deserves the attention and interest of the Westbank Chamber. I note with interest the article in the Capital News that states that
Confident Cedar used for park To the editor: I count myself among the Generation Screwed that Ms. Michaels refers to in her piece (Boomers: Only a park in my backyard—nothing else, Jan. 21 Capital News), but I come to a very different conclusion when I hear that some boomers attended the APC meeting and spoke in opposition to it. Those opponents understand that opportunities for another waterfront park should not be treated as just another
capital news A11
‘sever-and-sell’ commercial operation. I find it incredible that anyone can consider opposition to a waterfront development on land purchased for park as driven by self-interest. For the paltry sum of $2.2 million, the City of Kelowna was able to secure another parcel of waterfront land for park use. I consider this a great victory for all residents of Kelowna, no matter what neighbourhood they live in.
Prior planning has provided us this one opportunity to improve waterfront access for all residents of Kelowna. Unfortunately, the proposal brought to the APC reflects the myopic, bottom-line-driven approach to planning that we should discourage. I am confident that city council will quickly scrap the proposal to sell a portion of the property for commercial use. Cam Robertson, Kelowna
the West Kelowna council has voted in a proposed four per cent plus increase in taxes which will strengthen their tax base so they have the reserves to move into 2013, with reserve money in the bank to look after the unknown increases in community operating costs when present support programs end. The chamber should be advocates for the council to strengthen the commercial tax base by adding additional projects that would allow council, to grow and strengthen the present commercial tax base so they could, in the future, consider reducing business tax to attract new businesses to West Ke-
lowna. May I remind the Westbank Chamber, projects like this are like manna from heaven— a chance in a million that most communities and chambers would welcome with open arms in their support and promotion. Where is our chamber? The Westbank Chamber needs to be reminded by its members that a chamber’s mandate is to focus on local business and their development and move away from being a social club. There is serious business to be considered and accomplished now and in the future. Tom Howe, West Kelowna

â&#x2013;ź IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME
Staying fit can ward off symptoms
I
t is estimated that irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, affects one and 54 people. It is characterized by chronic diarrhea, profound gastrointestinal pain and discomfort in conjunction with a myriad of other symptoms. It can be a most disabling disease. But new research published in this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s American Journal of Gastroenterology may hold some degree of optimism for those suffering from this all-consuming disease. It was established in this study that individuals who are suffering from IBS may be able to achieve a degree of relief by establishing a regular exercise program. Though the study is considered smallâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;involving 102 participantsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it found that individuals who exercise regularly had a significant decrease in their cramping, bloating, constipation and diarrhea with overall stated improvement in
ASK DR.THIEL
Markus Thiel their quality of life. The senior researcher, Dr. Riadh Sadik at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, found that even people who are considered less than active had an alleviation of symptoms with an introduction of even a modest degree of exercise. Exercise was defined as 20 to 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity, like brisk walking or biking three to five times per week. This was done over a course of 12 weeks. None of the participants were previously regularly active at the beginning of the study. All other normal lifestyle habits remain the same. Three months after the study, 43 per cent of
the exercise participants showed an improvement of the symptoms compared to those who did not exercise. Only eight per cent of the exercise participants had an increase in their perceived symptoms verses 23 per cent of the nonexercise population. It was therefore postulated that those who suffer from IBS will worsen their symptoms by maintaining a sedentary lifestyle. He states: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have IBS, then you can in-
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;
IF YOU HAVE IBS, THEN YOU CAN INCREASE YOUR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY TO IMPROVE YOUR SYMPTOMS. IF YOU STAY INACTIVE, YOU SHOULD EXPECT MORE SYMPTOMS.
crease your physical activity to improve your symptoms. If you stay inactive, you should expect more symptoms.â&#x20AC;? This is yet again another glaring illustration of the far-reaching effects of exercise. Not only does exercise increase whole body wellness and strength but it can also get your body back to its normal state. A chronic state of pain is not the normal state for the body, it is merely an indication that something is wrong.

Clean air policy upheld by CORD
Carstairs to talk about aging Seniors are a rich and vibrant part of our country, but do Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policies and programs meet the needs of our aging population? The Senate of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Special Senate Committee on Aging pursued that question, issuing a final report in 2009. Senator Sharon Carstairs, who chaired the committee, will be in Kelowna Feb. 21 to talk about the findings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The impending re-
Sharon Carstairs ality of population aging presents a wide variety of complex challenges, rang-
ing from financial security and retirement, to housing and transportation issues, to chronic diseases and health care needs,â&#x20AC;? said Carstairs. Invited by UBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Distinguished Speaker Series, Carstairs will present her talk on Monday, Feb. 21, 7 p.m., at the Rotary Centre for the Arts. Seating is free but online attendance registration is required at www. ubc.ca/okanagan/speakers.

The Central Okanagan has renewed its commitment to cleaner regional air, but reluctance is also in the breeze as the north Okanagan has not yet renewed its own commitment to the agreement. The board of the Regional District of Central Okanagan voted to renew its participation in the Okanagan Similkameen
6th Annual
Airshed Coalition for another year, at their meeting Jan. 24. The regional agreement has been around for eight years, and was intended to develop a Valley-wide strategy to improve air quality as the population grows. Director Doug Findlater said he was quite happy to support the memorandum of understanding. He was slightly concerned that the coalition board had considered the creation of a part-time administrative position, as well as the creation of another body with taxation authority, similar to the Okanagan Basin Water Board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think quite a lot more work needs to be
done.â&#x20AC;? In response to questions on whether the coalition had a strategic plan or set of priorities, director Sharon Shepherd noted the coalition has a regionwide approach to a number of initiatives. Shepherd said the coalition runs a shared program up and down the valley that examines air emissions and that, in the past, all three regional districts have shared in vehicle emission testing programs. She said the Regional District of North Okanagan will likely not continue with its commitment to air quality, but the city of Vernon may carry on alone. Shepherd pointed
out some funding is predicated on the entire region taking part and working together on the issue. Director Graeme James said he also supported the memorandum of understanding, but also had concerns about the coalition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just as much air in the north as there is in the central and south Okanagan.â&#x20AC;? James added it would be another load on local taxpayers and he would be reluctant to enter such an agreement. Director Jim Edgson said the central Okanagan will probably end up funding the majority of initiatives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do have a huge stake in that.â&#x20AC;?

▼ MLA’S REPORT
An inspirational welcome of the world to Kelowna F or the first time ever, the International Children’s Winter Games are being held in Canada. And they are being held right here in Kelowna. Congratulations for the vision and dedicated hard work of our organizing committee and thanks for the support and funding from municipal, provincial and federal governments and the contribution from community partners and sponsors. For the rest of the month, we have the distinct honour of hosting hundreds of young athletes from around the world. Ranging in age from 12 to 15, these athletes are here to compete in seven sports, including skiing, skating and hockey. They are also in Kelowna to further the aim of the International Children’s Games to increase understanding and friendship between students from different countries and to promote the Olympic ideal.
Steve Thomson I’m proud that Kelowna is hosting such an outstanding event. I am proud that we can play a part in helping young people to develop sportsmanship, mutual respect and cultural understanding. Cultural understanding, especially, is of vital importance. By helping youth to learn that people around the world are more alike than different, we are helping to reduce the likelihood of conflicts in the future. It is more difficult to dislike people you have a connection with than someone you know nothing about. The strong civic spir-
it of Kelowna residents is another reason to be proud. Close to a thousand locals have signed up to volunteer at the Games or have opened their homes to visiting athletes. The hospitality we show during these Games will be remembered by athletes, coaches and visiting spectators for years to come. I have no doubt many of them will be making return trips in the years ahead. Which brings me to another reason I am proud to see Kelowna hosting these games: It is an outstanding opportunity for all of us to welcome visitors from around the world and show them what a great place this is. Those who come to participate in or to watch the International Children’s Games will find a small city with all the attractions and amenities of a large city—and a lot of other great things big cities just can’t match. They’ll find outstanding restaurants, excellent museums and great shop-
Deadline for arts festival extended The registration deadline to participate in the Kiwanis Music Festival during the month of April has been extended to Feb. 7. For registration details, refer online to the Festival website, www.kelowna kiwanisfestival.com, or get a copy of the Festival Syllabus from World of Music, Wentworth Music, Kelowna Community Music School or Paramount Music.
ping. They’ll also find something big cities don’t offer: A wealth of amazing opportunities for outdoor recreation just minutes from downtown. And did I mention our wine? I hope everybody in
ly—as I know we will remember them with fondness long after the closing ceremonies. I hope, too, that this will be the first of many visits they will make to this city we are so proud to call home.

‘No-brainer’ for new coach to join Challenge Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
The task of guiding the Okanagan Challenge to its third consecutive appearance in the Pacific Coast Soccer League’s championship game rests with Kelly Wolverton. The 29-year-old native of Kansas City has been named the new head coach of the Challenge for the 2011 campaign. Wolverton takes over the reins from Clint Schneider who is a now a full-time, 12-month employee and assistant coach with the NCAA’s Simon Fraser Clan. Wolverton has been an assistant coach the last four seasons with The University of the South men’s soccer program in Sewanee, Tenn. He came highly recommended to the local men’s club by Schneider and another former Challenge head coach, Alan Koch. Both Schneider and Koch worked on the coaching staff with Wolverton for one season at
Baker University in Kansas. “It was a nobrainer for me to come here,” said Wolverton, who played four years at Baker U from 1999 to 2002. “Alan and Clint both told me a lot of good things about the team Kelly Wolverton and the Okanagan. This is a really good step and opportunity for me. I’m looking forward to it.” Wolverton said Koch contacted him two years ago about the possibility of co-coaching the Challenge, but he was unable to make the commitment. He’s happy a second chance came around.
“I know the Challenge has a good tradition and I want to help continue that,” he said. “I finally feel confident going into a head coaching job. With other coaches I’ve worked with, I feel I have the background I need. And what better place to do it.” In Wolverton, team president Maria Ridgewell is confident the Challenge has landed the right man for the job. “Kelly needs to be out coaching on his own and he wants to be able to put a championship on his resume,” said Ridgewell. “It’s something he wants to achieve and of course we want to see him be successful at that. “He’s still a fairly young man, too, and that’s good. He’s appreciative of what young guys go through at this level, he’s not that far away from it. We expect he’ll relate well to the team.” Wolverton takes over a team that enjoyed successful back-to-back seasons under Schneider. The Challenge won both the PCSL regular season and playoff titles in 2009, then made
it to the league finale last year before losing in a shootout to the Vancouver Thunderbirds. As for Wolverton’s approach to coaching, expect his passion for the game to come through— but in a somewhat reserved manner. “I like to think I’m more of a practice coach, get the guys prepared and see how the game goes. I like to be more of a quiet type, but in control at the same time,” he said. “(Soccer) is ingrained in me, I love the game and I want to be around it as much and as long as I possibly can.” Wolverton expects several returning players and a number of newcomers from both Kelowna and the Lower Mainland will make up the majority of the PCSL squad this summer. He also plans on contacting potential players from California, Kansas, and Missouri, as well as a num-j ber of his former players. Wolverton will arrive in Kelowna in late April, with the Challenge to open the 2011 edition of training camp in early May.
Key divisional games for Rockets Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
No one has to point out to Colton Jobke how crucial the next seven games of the Western Hockey League season are to the Kelowna Rockets. All seven are against B.C. Division rivals and will, in all likelihood, go a long way in determining where the Rockets finish at season’s end. “It’s a huge stretch of games for us,” said Jobke, 18, a second-year blue liner with the Rockets. “I mean, it’s a perfect opportunity to separate ourselves a little bit more and try and spread things out some. If we can get some wins here against division opponents over the next couple of weeks, it should help to set us up, put us in a good position going into the playoffs.” The Rockets’ first of seven straight meetings against B.C. opposition is Friday night at Prospera Place against the Prince
George Cougars. Kelowna will also play Vancouver once, Chilliwack three times, and the Cougars twice more during the stretch. The division race remains tight, but thanks to a three-game sweep of U.S.based teams last weekend the Rockets have gained some valuable momentum and a little breathing room. Kelowna (27-20-0-0, 54 points) is just a point back of Vancouver (2519-1-4) for top spot— with two games in hand— while Prince George (49), Chilliwack (46) and Kamloops (45) are all now chasing the Rockets. When the Giants come calling Saturday night, the storied rivalry will not only feature a battle for first place, but two of the Western Conference’s hottest teams. Vancouver has won nine of its last 11, while Kelowna has six wins in its past seven games. Just a month ago, the
Giants had slumped to last place in the division and looked to be down for the count. Vancouver made five deals prior to the trade deadline—including sending Craig Cunnigham to Portland—and appeared to be planning for more for the future than the present. But with the acquisitions of players like Spencer Bennett—19 points in 12 games—and the addition of big-bodied Slovakian centre Andrej Statsny, the Giants have turned their fortunes around in short order. Rockets veteran Evan Bloodoff, for one, isn’t overly surprised by Vancouver’s resurgence. “They’ve always been a hardworking team and they have a great coach in Don Hay, so you can never count them out,” said Bloodoff, 20. “I think when they traded their top guy (Cunningham), it opened up spots for some their younger guys, and they’ve obviously stepped
up. I think they’re just starting to come together as a team now.” Like the Giants, the Rockets recent run of success has moved them into a favourable position to challenge for the B.C. Division crown. In addition to earning a first or second seeding for the first round of the playoffs, a B.C. title would carry with it a clear sense of accomplishment for Rockets veteran Mitchell Callahan. “You always want to be the best team in your division and one of the best teams in your conference and we keep working towards that,” said Callahan. “That’s what we wanted here from day one. I think we have the team characteristics, on the ice and in the locker room to make it happen. If we play our game and keep things simple the rest of the way, vI don’t see why we can’t do that.” Following this weekend’s two-game set at

B.C.’s best here for West Can tourney
Knights claim home tourney A first-place showing at their home tournament has boosted the Kelowna Christian Knights back into the No. 1 spot in the B.C. A boys basketball rankings. The previously second-ranked KCS squad took down the local rival and top-ranked Immaculata Mustangs 76-59 in the final of the Knights Invitational on Saturday night. The Mustangs were undermanned due to injuries to a pair of key players. Starting point guard Dario Gini suffered a season-ending knee injury earlier this month, while the 6-foot-9 Alex Hart has a broken wrist. Brendan Rempel paced the Knights attack in the final with 30 points, while Simon Benson had 17 points, including five three-pointers, and 14 rebounds. “All the boys saw court time and it was a championship effort by every one,” said Knights head coach Gib Hinz. “A terrific total team effort all weekend.” The Knights opened the tournament with a season-high point output in a 119-67 win over Heritage Christian. Connor Loewen and Ryan Linttell scored 19 points each in the win. In the semifinal, Kai McGrath scored 18 points as KCS downed Langley Christian 90-58.

the last with two seconds remaining—to pull KSS to within one point before the buzzer sounded. Braxton Bunce scored 14 for the Owls.

Cockrill, Tucker athletes of week athlete of the week. Cockrill, a product of Chilliwack, was a key contributor in both Heat victories last weekend over the Douglas Royals. He was particularly dominant on Saturday night at UBCO as the Heat were missing four players due to injury. Cockrill put on a shooting clinic, scoring 28 points—including eight three-pointers—to pace UBCO to a 84-77 win in overtime. It was Cockrill’s bucket from beyond the arc to start overtime which put the Heat ahead to stay. The previous night, Cockrill wasn’t quite as sharp from the floor but still scored 17 points as the Heat beat the Royals 80-71. He also had six rebounds and added four steals. Cockrill and the Heat (8-3) will host the Langara Falcons Friday and Saturday at UBCO.

Preston Tucker scored 20 points with him at the service line. Tucker recorded five of his team’s 12 aces as the Heat outlasted the Royals in four sets. UBCO head coach Greg Poitras is pleased with the leadership, improvement, and overall physical play that Tucker has shown during his fouryear collegiate career. Tucker and the firstplace Heat (11-1) have a bye this weekend before closing out the regular season Feb. 4 and 5 at home to Camosun and VIU. The Heat will host the BCCAA championship Feb. 24 to 26.

The event will also feature as many as 300 youth competitors, some as young as the age of four. “It goes right from being a fun event for the youngest kids, all the way up to the open division where competition will be intense,” Davis added Davis said the event is need of a few more volunteers.

PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of Disposition
Urban Hen Research
The City of Kelowna hereby gives notice of its intention to sell to Kelowna Yacht Club fee simple title to an approximate 1,155 square metre portion of the lands legally described as Lot 1, District Lots 139 and 4083, Osoyoos Division Yale District, Plan 8654 and Lot A, District Lot 139, Osoyoos Division Yale District, Plan 16592 shown crosshatched on the sketch below. The property will be sold for $1,000,000.
Advertising Change
The public may review copies of the proposed disposition on kelowna.ca or at the Office of the City Clerk at City Hall, 3rd Floor, from 8am-4pm, Monday to Friday.
Staff were asked to report back to Council with research on how other municipalities are administering urban hen policies. Staff will return to Council with comparative data from other communities that permit hens to be kept in urban areas.
Council directed staff to proceed with a Request for Proposals to select a primary and secondary newspaper vendor for statutory and discretionary advertising. The City’s current practice is to advertise notices in both local newspapers. The primary newspaper vendor would supply the majority of the City’s newspaper advertising needs. This approach is expected to achieve both a cost-savings and provide staff with the flexibility to reallocate existing funding to other marketing channels.
INQUIRIES: 250 469-8610
Bylaw Enforcement Change
The City of Kelowna will join with eight other local municipalities to administer a new process to adjudicate bylaw ticket disputes. The change removes costly and time-consuming disputes from the provincial court system. The adjudication process will be administered in Kelowna to deal with minor bylaw infractions from communities in the Okanagan. kelowna.ca/council

First big tour for Fairly Odd Folk Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
When Lauren Mann and the Fairly Odd Folk roll into town, it will be a fairly new experience for all involved. This is the 21-yearold’s first big tour since she and her new husband, Zoltan Szoges, retired from their gig working a summer camp (Circle Square Ranch) and began to tap Szoges’ tour organizing expertise to try the full-time musician’s
lifestyle. “He has a lot of experience touring and doing music. So we thought, why don’t we just go on tour?” said Mann. “I never really thought that that would be possible, but we just kind of went for it.” Mann grew up playing classical piano and eventually made the transition into songwriting. Her first CD, Stories from Home, showcases a collection of songs which lean heavily on this classical training, but as she recently discov-
ered she also really likes music which inspires her to dance, have a get-onyour-feet groove. The songs got a pretty good test-run on her first tour, a small venture from Prince George to Victoria, but the Calgary-based musician doesn’t really make her touring debut until this week. “We had a couple of months to work with and we just kind of mapped it out,” said Mann, who says her songs are all about telling a story.
By the end of the eastwest venture she should have a fair number of new stories to share. This will only be her second venture across the country; she did some travelling and saw the sites earlier this year, and said she’s really looking forward to making connections between people on the east and west coast through her music. Lauren Mann and the Fairly Odd Folk play the Minstrel Café Feb. 3. Cover at the door.

MOVIE GUY
Rick Davis fortunately, because I write this column prior to bookings being finalized, that changed. However, it might have changed for the better. In its stead, Barney’s Version opened, which is the film version of Modecai Richler’s 1997 novel of the same name. It is the story of Barney Panofsky spanning 30 years of his life including his three marriages. His colourful life is accentuated by Barney
starting to pursue his third wife during the wedding to his second. Paul Giammati, who has already won a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Barney, is the perfect choice to play the eccentric title character, but the supporting cast of Rosamund Pike, Dustin Hoffman, Bruce Greenwood and Minnie Driver adds to its appeal. Plus there are smaller roles played by recognizable faces including character actor Maury Chaykin, who died after the movie completed filming. Opening at the Paramount Theatre on Friday is Lovers in a Dangerous Time, whose title is inspired by the Bruce Cockburn song. Filmed and set in Creston, B.C., it is the story of two former childhood friends who set out to relive their childhood after reuniting at their 10year high school reunion. Todd (the boy who

in a Dangerous Time has already received acclaim on either side of Creston, winning the Best Canadian Film award at the Okanagan International Film Festival and the Audience Award at the Calgary International Film Festival.
Jason Statham plays the Charles Bronson character in the remake of The Mechanic, the story of an elite assassin whose professional perfection and total detachment is tested when his mentor is killed and the son of the deceased asks to be trained in the trade so he can exact revenge. Even in his weakest films, Statham owns the screen and is one of the best action stars in the movies today. And if you are pining for Anthony Hopkins taking on another Hannibal Lecter-type role, you may want to check out The Rite. It is the story of a disillusioned young American priest (Colin O’Donoghue) who travels to the Vatican where he learns to carry out exorcisms and eventually finds his faith renewed through encounters with demonic forces.

The group must either originate in Kelowna or be a local chapter of a national or international group.

Gert Beadle was in her 60s when she joined the struggle for women’s equality. She received the Person’s Award in recognition of improving the status of women, as well as the Order of Canada in 1986. Gert helped establish the Women’s Crisis
Homes Incorporated, which grew to include a women’s centre, rape crisis line, women’s health collective, a women’s credit union and a feminist newspaper. Gert published three poetry books and donated proceeds to various women’s centres, including the Kelowna Women’s Resource Centre. We want you to nominate a woman or group for this award.

▼ MP’S REPORT
Conservatives are in no hurry to call an election
W
hile rumblings of an election are getting louder this week, I personally don’t think too many of my constituents are hungry for one. My colleague Ted Menzies, the Minister of State for Finance, spent the day with me in the riding last week meeting with a group of local seniors and attending a Budget 2011 economic roundtable co-hosted by the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce.
We received many useful comments on what to do about the budget, retirement planning and the global recession, but not a word was said about the need for an election. Most want the government to concentrate on the economy and sound fiscal management so we can confidently move forward and put the current economic downturn behind us. We should be feeling pretty good about our chances. Despite Oppo-
sition party leaders trying to convince voters we are worse off compared to five years ago, here is some good news to consider. Economist Michael Veall estimates that “real median after-tax income is almost 7.5 per cent higher in 2010 than in 2005, an increase of about 1.5 per cent a year.” “Using this one indicator, the balance of probability suggests that Mr. Harper is right—Canadians are better off,” he add-
ed (Globe and Mail Online, Jan. 25, 2011). The Canadian Index of Wellbeing seems to agree, showing clear increases in GDP, living standards and community vitality (Globe and Mail, Jan. 21, 2011). Furthermore, Canada is leading the economic recovery with five consecutive quarters of economic growth, has a financial system again ranked the soundest in the world, and that both the IMF and OECD project that Can-
ada will have among the strongest average growth for the G7 in the years ahead. Some might say, “OK, but where’s the vision?” The vision for this country lies with the people—our entrepreneurs, our innovators, our small and medium sized business people and our citizens. In fact, the prime minister has declared 2011 the Year of the Entrepreneur. As we move into the next phase of Canada’s
Economic Action Plan, Canada’s entrepreneurs will play an even greater role in securing our fragile economic recovery. Their actions will stimulate economic growth and job creation if we provide the right economic conditions: A healthy investment climate, a skilled workforce trained at institutions like our own UBCO and Okanagan College, and a federal government that is willing to remove as many barriers to
Ron Cannan our growth potential as possible by keeping taxes down, cutting unnecessary red tape, getting rid of the deficit and spending within our means. The 2011 Year of the Entrepreneur designation is not only a call for action, it will serve as a guide for our actions so that talented and resourceful Canadians can succeed and drive the economy forward.
FUNDRAISER FOR CALEB
This week I was contacted by Rhea and Ian Taylor asking for help. Rhea and Ian are planning a Charity Valentines Dance on Saturday, Feb. 12, at Ellison Community Hall, for Caleb Lanz a nine-year-old boy in our community who has a very rare and fatal brain tumour, a condition known as DIPG or diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. The fundraiser will help the family with medical costs, including treatment options outside of B.C. Rhea and Ian are asking for help from the community, especially businesses, willing to help host the event, and provide items for a silent auction. To contribute in any way, contact Rhea or Ian at 250-765-3466; irtaylor@shaw.ca. I’m heading back to Ottawa next week but don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or comments on federally-related matters, at ron@cannan.ca or by phone at 250-470-5075.

Outlander SUV offers bold look, sporty ride for 2011 Neil Moore CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
Until the past few years, shopping for a compact SUV could be a real snoozer. Not that there was anything wrong with vehicles like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, but that they, along with most offerings in this segment, shared the same unimaginative, trucky styling. Thanks to increased competition, today’s exteriors are more inspired, but none are more distinctive than the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander. A makeover in 2010 gave this previously competent but bland SUV the company’s signature ‘jet fighter’ front end, borrowed from the rallyproven Lancer Evolution. This aggressive new treatment, with its large, blacked-out mesh grille, sharp hood creases and wedge-shaped projectorstyle headlamps is accompanied by a redesigned rear quarter panel fascia and door mirrors.
A MAKEOVER in 2010 gave the Mitsubishi Outlander the addition of Super All-Wheel Control to the top XLS trim level (as shown). On the top-trim XLS models, a chrome grille
surround and seven-spoke, 18 inch alloy wheels com-
plete the look. But the 2010 changes

are more than cosmetic. The XLS model, for ex-

ample, now also benefits from an upgrade to Mit-
subishi’s slip-and-grip 4WD system in the form of its Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) along with Active Front Differential. The Outlander has also received some tweaks to its available 3.0-litre V6 engine, boosting horsepower from 220 to 230, and with improved fuel economy. The current-generation model may not outsell Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue and Toyota RAV-4, but at roughly 8,300 units sold this year in Canada, it is nearly tied with the Lancer and all its variants as Mitsubishi’s top selling vehicle. The 2011 Outlander is, for the most part, a carryover from 2010. Despite a relatively small dealer network, much of its sales success can be attributed to a competitive price point with plenty of standard features and available content. The ES 2WD base model starts at $25,498 and comes with a long list See Mitsubishi B2

Outlander also gets a full suite of standard safety features such as fourwheel disc brakes with ABS and electronic brakeforce distribution, active stability control (ASC), traction control and a tire pressure monitoring system. Add 4WD and you also get hill start assist, bringing the price to $27,998. Both ES models are powered by Mitsubishi’s 2.4-litre 16-valve, DOHC inline four-cylinder that provides 168 hp and 167 lb/ft of torque, mated to a CVT Sportronic transmission that can be shifted manually, if you so choose. The LS trim level, starting at $29,498, comes standard with 4WD and gets the more powerful 3.0-litre, 24-valve SOHC V6 engine that delivers 230 hp and 215 lb/ft of torque. That may not sound like a lot next to RAV4’s 269 hp and 246 lb/ft (which is more juice than necessary in this kind of vehicle), but it’s competitive with other V6 competitors like the Escape. The CR-V, Rogue, Hyundai Tucson and Suzuki Grand Vitara are only available with four cylinder engines. Mated to Outlander’s 3.0-litre V6 is a sixspeed Sportronic automatic transmission. This smooth-shifting unit comes with steering wheel paddle shifters in XLS trim. The LS also features a compact third row seat, with fore/aft sliding on the second row to help passengers get in and out. Other amenities include a FastKey system (allowing you to keep the fob in your pocket or purse), fog lights and LED repeaters in the side mirrors. Move up to the XLS S-AWC (starting at $34,498), and in addition to the LS features, you get 18-inch alloys, automatic climate control, leather seating surfaces in the first and second rows, power driver’s seat, rain-sensing wipers, power sunroof and the head-pounding 710-watt Rockford Fosgate Punch Premium See Mitsubishi B3

It can move torque from left to right and front to rear, depending on vehicle dynamics and road conditions. And making it more driver-friendly than typical 4WD systems is a three-position dial labelled ‘Tarmac,’ ‘Snow’ and ‘Lock.’ This system works seamlessly with the vehicle’s traction and statbility control systems, cutting power or applying brakes at each wheel to help keep the Outlander on its intended path. During my week of testing, I had the opportunity to try it on all kinds rof asphalt—wet, dry and snowy—and believe me, it works. I had expected the system to apply a heavy hand in the snow, but it wasn’t overly intrusive—even when giving a little extra tthrottle around turns. S-AWC (with ASC tactivated) also works on dry pavement in more rspirited maneuvers. The tsystem applies brakes ron the inside wheel during understeer and outer wheel during oversteer, and transfers torque where needed to improve cornering stability.

Rock is one on the five settings on the Jeep Quadra-Trac II four-wheeldrive system found on this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tester, the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. Jeep actually offers three 4WD systems on the Grand Cherokee, the others being the base Quadra-Trac I and the other, called QuadraDrive II. Quadra-Trac I has a single speed transfer case. Quadra-Trac II and Quadra-Drive II both have a two-speed transfer case and variable torque distribution. The difference is Trac II distributes torque up to 100 per front to rear while Drive II does it 100 per cent to any wheel. Getting back to how simple Quadra-Trac II is to use starts with a large, rotary knob on the transmission tunnel with five settings from left: Sand/
Mud, Sport, Auto, Snow, Rock. Selec-Terrain is also included on both Trac II and Drive II. Auto is the everyday setting with torque split 40/60 per cent front/ rear. Snow sees torque split 50/50 but the wheels arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t locked. Sport routes 80 per cent of the torque to the rear. Switch Mud/Sand and you have a 50/50 split for better traction at all four corners. Lastly Rock means just that. You can take rocks the size of a trash can in stride. And if you want, there is also a button that engages 4WD low for very serious terrain. This is all topped off by another button that turns on Hill Descent Control. What this does is work the brakes and traction control to allow the Jeep to come down inclines of 45 degrees and more and trundle down automatically. Having been in the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat, it literally is a leap of faith to nose over a cliff edge and see nothing but sky in every direction.
As you tip over, the next thing you glimpse is the ground below looking like a wall. Just when you thought it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get worse, you have to remember to NEVER touch the brakes or gas because the system is doing it for you. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sort like believing Hal will open the pod bay door, but it works every time. And while all this is happening, you and your passengers are seated in the top-of-the-line Grand Cherokee Overland, easily the most luxurious Jeep ever. There are two, maybe three other SUVs that can match the Grand Cherokee Overlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prowess, not just in premium quality trim, but it the ability to get through every possible kind of terrain, but they can cost twice as much. It was Jeep that invented the premium SUV segment the Grand Cherokee more than two decades ago. Since then, some four million have been sold. The 2011 version is all

Jeep from B4 es of knee and legroom opened up for passengers in the back seat. In line with the rest of the Chrysler family, larger vehicles offer a choice of a 3.6-litre V6 or a Hemi V8. Sadly, there is no longer a diesel version. The V6 is new with variable valve timing that produces 290 hp and 260 lb/ft of torque with a fuel rating of 13.0/8.9L/100 km (22/32 mpg) city/highway. Jeep claims this is 38 per cent improvement in power and a 14 per cent improvement in mileage over the old V6. In fact, Jeep says the Grand Cherokee with the V6 will cover 1,046 km on one tank of regular fuel. The other engine is the legendary 5.7-litre V8 now with variable valve timing with 360 hp and 390 lb/ft of torque. Fuel rating is 15.7/10.6L/100 km (18/27 mpg) city/highway with a range of 878 km on a tank of regular. The Hemi incorporates multi displacement fuel management that shuts down four of the eight cylinders when the Jeep is travelling at a con-
the Jeep I’ve driven with the new variable valve technology, it just feels so good especially with a stab of the gas pedal every now and then. When I drove the Grand Cherokee for the first time last October during “Drive Day” testing by the new Canadian Automotive Jury, what impressed me the most,
as well as the other judges, was the strides made on the interior. Because Jeeps in the past somehow always had to a have a boxy, rugged exterior look, that got carried over to the interior with not always great results. You will find none of that on the Grand Cherokee Overland.

THE BIGGEST CHANGE on the Jeep Grand Cherokee for 2011 is the interior. The gation, Hill Start and trailer sway control, dual zone climate control and most noticeably, a 17 per cent (36.3 cu ft) improvement in cargo volume. The Laredo X at $42,995 adds more trim like 506-watt surround sound infotainment centre and leather seating. Both Laredo models are equipped with the Quadra-Trac I 4WD system. The Limited ($46,995)
and Overland ($49,995) feature Quadra-Trac II with Quadra-Drive II not available until July, 2011. Also optional ($1,900) on the Laredo X, Limited and Overland is the Hemi. The Hemi option includes the Trailer Tow Group and heavy-duty engine cooling because many buyers of a Hemi Jeep do a lot of towing. One thing about the Hemi is the feel of way the torque flows. In the Challenger, Charger and now
The large centre stack helps split the front into a twin cockpit design. The instruments are chronograph-like in appearance and the wood rimmed and heated steering wheel is a very high lux touch. At the rear, a power liftgate is standard as is the ParkView backup camera which really helps as this is a large and long vehicle. In my opinion, this is one of the best, if not the best, vehicle Chrysler makes, and has made, in a long time. Couple that with the high resale value of anything branded Jeep, and you have a winner both on- and off-road.

Ford ‘Edges’ ahead of the pack in the SUV/CUV category Lorne Drury CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
In the automotive business, having the right product at the right time is the key. Ford has been among the best in the industry in updating and adding to its product lineup in recent years and for that reason, the firm’s fortunes have been on a tremendous upswing of late.
Just when nearly everyone was writing off Detroit’s Big Three, a reversal of fortunes was beginning for Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. Ford was the first to make its way out of the doldrums, thanks in a large part to its refreshed lineup. And, helping lead the way was the Oakville, Ont.-built Ford Edge mid-size crossover utility
vehicle. Since it debuted as a 2007 model in late 2006, more than 400,000 Edges have been sold in North America, including more than 40,000 here in Canada. So when a refresh of the Edge was in the works for 2011, Ford engineers knew they had to get it right. Members of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) certainly
think they did as the Edge was voted the 2011 Best New SUV/CUV $35,000 to $50,000 during testing last fall. It is now in the running for the Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year, to be announced at the Canadian International AutoShow in Toronto in midFebruary. But the real test is the marketplace, and early indications are that the

public is embracing the new design of the Edge as well. Sales were up a whopping 23 per cent in December in Canada compared with the same month in 2009. Sure, some will say, 2009 was not a good indicator because it was smack dab in the middle of the recession. That’s correct, but 23 per cent is 23 per cent, and in my books, that’s a pretty substantial increase at any time. So what changes has Ford made to the new Edge? Well, several to be exact. On the outside are new front and rear fascias. The interior craftsmanship and materials have been upgraded significantly and many new goodies are offered, include the MyFord Touch driver connect technology. And, an all-new powertrain lineup promises more power as well as improved fuel economy. My tester was a 2011 Edge AWD Limited, priced at $44,229 plus $1,400 freight and PDI. That price included options like the $1,850 Touring Package (panoramic roof and voice activated navigation system), $650 Vision Package (blind spot monitoring system), $800 20-inch chrome clad wheels and $1,000 Driver’s Entry Package. Built on the same platform used for the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans and the Lincoln MKX crossover, the Edge has a car-like ride and handling, thanks in part to four-wheel independent suspension. Four trim levels are available: SE, SEL, Limited and Sport. SEL and Limited are offered with
front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD), while SE is FWD only and Sport is AWD only. Standard on the SE, SEL and Limited is the 285 hp 3.5-litre Duratec V6 engine. New on this engine for 2011 is Ti-VCT (twin independent variable camshaft timing) technology that boosts horsepower and improves fuel economy. Horsepower is up 20 from the previous model, while fuel economy numbers are also improved. With FWD and the six-speed automatic transmission, ratings are 11.2L/100 km (25 mpg) city and 7.6L/100 km (37 mpg) highway. Add the six-speed SelectShift automatic and the highway numbers improve even more. With AWD and the SelectShift automatic, fuel economy ratings are 11.9L/100 km (24 mpg) city and 8.0L/100 km (35 mpg) highway. Meanwhile, the Edge Sport boasts a 3.7-litre Duratec engine with the same Ti-VCT technology that makes 305 hp and 280 lb/ft of torque. Available soon in the Edge will be a new 2.0-litre EcoBoost inline four-cylinder engine. Fuel economy benefits are projected to be at least 10 per cent better than a comparable V6, but with classleading power and torque for an inline four-cylinder. This means the Edge for 2011 goes from offering only one engine and one transmission to three powertrains. Standard on the SEL and Limited models are 18-inch tires and new wider wheels to produce See Ford B7

a better steering feel. Optional on the Limited are 20-inch tires with new wider wheels, while the Edge Sport gets 22-inch wheels. The suspension has also been retuned as shocks, springs and stabilizer bars were adjusted for better handling. Prices start at $27,999 for the SE, $2,500 less than for the 2010 model. The mid-level SEL is $33,999 for FWD and $35,999 for AWD. Meanwhile, the Limited is $37,799 (FWD) and $39,999 (AWD), and the Sport is $43,499. As mentioned earlier, the interior is much improved for 2011. Ford has taken a page out of Volvo’s books for the Edge (of course, it owned Volvo until last year) with a snazzy floating centre stack, including an eight-inch LCD touchscreen at the top.

is standard on the Limited and Edge Sport models. It’s all part of the MyFord Touch drive connect technology that replaces the traditional buttons, knobs and gauges. It allows you to access your entertainment, phone, climate control or navigation system through the touchscreen powered by SYNC. Many of the features can be controlled through voice commands as well as the touch screen. While the screens are cool to look at and provide an amazing amount of information, it must be an age thing with me. I still prefer the old knobs, buttons and gauges, I’m afraid. Like some other critics, I find the information displays too distracting, but I’m sure the ‘plugged in’ younger generation will find the MyFord Touch a great innovation.

THE SMART RESOLUTIONS ARE THE EASY ONES TO KEEP.
ing SYNC are the Easy Fuel capless fuel filler system (standard); a keyless entry keypad and blind spot mirrors (standard); MyKey allowing owners to designate keys to limit the vehicles top speed and audio volume (standard); AdvanceTrac with roll stability control (standard); adaptive cruise control and collision warning with brake support (optional) and blind spot information system with cross traffic alert (optional). Other than my aversion to the touch screen
technology, I was left most impressed by the new Edge. Interior space is generous both front and rear. In fact, a six-foot, five-inch friend had no trouble with leg or headroom up front during a three-hour holiday season road trip with our wives to view a spectacular Christmas light display. By the way, the rear seats fold flat as does the front passenger seat. All in all, the new Edge for 2011 is a much more refined vehicle, with better ride, handling and features. In the AJAC competition, the Edge bested the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Toyota Highlander Hybrid, Kia Sorrento, Hyundai Santa Fe, Toyota 4Runner and Honda Accord Crosstour for top spot. All are fine vehicles in their own right, but the refreshed Ford CUV was able to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Edgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; them all
out. With products like the Edge, Ford should continue on its present upward swing and that all bodes well for the folks in Oakville, who do a great job building the Edge.

Earlier in the year, Toyota Canada took advantage of the Scion brand launch in Vancouver to offer a glimpse of the 2010 Prius PHV Plug-in hybrid, as sort of a sideshow to the main event. On that nice, warm west coast day, Canadian journalists took a few hours to poke, prod and test-drive the plug-ins. It was an interesting, albeit, brief intro to the possible future of hybrid evolution. But I wanted more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d really like to see how this plug-in can cope with real-world, Canadian conditions,â&#x20AC;? I told them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like, for example, during winter.â&#x20AC;?

MOTORING
Prius undergoes year-long trials Prius from B8 capture performance data, and partners are encouraged to drive their Prius PHV in as many road, ttraffic and weather conditions as possible. Let’s insert a brief recap on hybrid philosophy here. It is to harness some of the unused power from a gasoline engine for electrical generation, add the normally-wasted energy of deceleration and braking, and store that potenttial in a battery for on-demand use as an electric power assist. That, along with inherent technologies like the feature that shuts off the engine when the car slows to a stop, allows a hybrid to reduce both emissions and fuel usage. The PHV plug-in builds on the regular third generation Prius with a larger, more powerful 5.3 kwh lithium-ion battery pack, controlled through a power management system that enables an electric-only range of more than 20 kilometres and a top speed of 100 km-h. When I picked up the PHV, it showed an EV range of 18.3 km on one of its interactive dash display

A VARIETY of display modes help keep the driver informed about energy flow, gasoline engine use, battery condition and electric driving range. modes. I set off with all the silent drama of a golf cart departure, stopped at a gas station to top off the tank for an accurate fuel count and headed home. Like most newbies in the car, I couldn’t help but watch the electric-only range tick down. The decreasing numbers were, of course, only an estimate, affected by driving style, passenger and cargo weight, power usage, temperature and a host of other factors. You can’t help but drive conservatively to stretch out that EV distance, always a challenge when surrounded by kamikaze commuters hurrying to get to the scene of their accident on time. When the last tenth
of a kilometre of electric-only energy is depleted, the EV indicator light switches off and the Prius PHV switches to HV (hybrid), harnessing the Atkinson Cycle 1.8 litre, 16-valve 4-cylinder engine. Toyota describes this switch-over as “seamless” but discerning drivers will detect the slight twitch of added gas-engine power. A full recharge will take about 3.5 kwh, about the same power draw, the Toyota folks tell me, as an iron or blow dryer. The PHV seems to hold a full charge overnight, even in sub-zero temperatures, and based on my utility prices of just over six cents per kwh, doubled by transmission charges and other fees, each full
charge worked out to less than 50 cents. Frankly, I didn’t think the Prius PHV would work out for me because my daily 80-100 km as a news photographer doesn’t fit in with the PHV’s 20 km commute scenario. But, I had a spot to plug in at work every time I returned from a job. Doing the math, every 10 minutes plugged in earned me a kilometre of fuel-free driving. After a week of happy experimentation, I pulled into the same gas station. I had driven just over 500 km and re-filled the gas tank for less than $20. My combined fuel economy average worked out to 3.46L/100km and the dash display showed a ratio of 35 per cent EV (electric) operation and 65 per cent HV (hybrid).

MOTORING
Very usable 1,025 litres of space with 2nd row upright Mitsubishi from B3 with a flat cargo floor. And with the flap-fold tailgate dropped (and hatch raised), loading is easy.
The small tailgate can also serve as a seat, able to support 200 kilograms. Pop the third row, which is a two-step procedure that takes some
250-860-6000
practice, and you still have 422 litres. The shallow depression where the seats are stowed contributes little space, unlike minivans
and other SUVs that typically have a deep well behind the third row. But the Outlander’s is less commodious for a reason. The rear seat is little more
than fabric stretched over a steel frame, with little pop-up ‘ironing boards’ as headrests. I would call this ‘emergency’ third-row seating,

CONTRIBUTED
A MAKEOVER in 2010 gave the Mitsubishi Outlander
the company’s signature ‘jet fighter’ front end, borrowed from the rally-ready Lancer Evolution. unless you like riding with your knees under your chin. Still, the kids seem to get a kick out of riding back there, and it’s easy enough to access as both sides of the second row tumble forward in a single motion. The Outlander’s interior fit and finish is good— on par with any of the segment leaders. My XLS tester had a few niceties not found on the base model, such as the doublestitched leather seating surfaces and centre armrest, double-stitched faux leather in the doors and instrument panel, giving it a premium look and feel. Ergonomics are generally good, but my one gripe is that the high-low switch for the heated front seats is positioned well back from view on the centre console, making it difficult to find while driving. The top-trim Outlander can be optioned up further with the $2,500 Navigation Package that includes music server, lane guidance system, rear view camera and video input jack.
There’s also an available rear seat entertainment system and loads of cargo accessories like roof racks, bike carriers, trailer hitch, ski and snowboard carriers and more. Overall, the Outlander has a lot to offer compact SUV buyers, and provides a driving experience that I would expect from a more premium product. Pricing remains the same as last year, with some changes in packaging—check the company web site for more details.

OUTLANDER’S available third row seat may not be big on comfort, but provides additional seating in a pinch—and gets out of the way when not needed.
