▼ FOREST FIRES
High fire alert in the woods Kathy Michaels CONTRIBUTOR
Tinder dry conditions exacerbated by lightning, kept fire fighters busy throughout Thursday and they’re not expecting the pace to let up until sometime next week. “We are forecasting some more dry lightning this afternoon and through the next week as well,” said Elise Riedlinger, fire information officer with the B.C. Ministry of Forests and Range. “We are seeing an increase of fire behaviour, throughout the centre and we will have more crews on because of the forecast.” So far the Kamloops fire region has seen 142 fires—a number that falls below the 10 year average—and 1,096 hectares have burnt. In the last 24 hours alone, B.C. crews responded to 18 fires, and 13 were suspected to be caused by lightning storms. Closest to home is the Joe Rich blaze, which Thursday stood at 10 hectares in size, and is 70 per cent contained. That fire was reported shortly after 2 a.m. and the suspected cause is lightning. Resources on site include one forest officer, one initial attack crew, one dozer and one water ten-
der. An additional 10 firefighters are en route to support the fire suppression efforts. While the conditions look dour, Riedlinger is hoping area residents will stay vigilant and report any signs of fire and make sure that they’re careful when interacting with that outdoors. That includes no campfires and to be careful when disposing of cigarettes. After all, nearly 100 fires were caused by humans this year. Also, smoke is starting to settle in the valley, raising the province’s Air Quality Health Index to a low health risk rating with anticipation of a moderate risk in the days to come. To that end, the health authority has some tips on how to stay healthy. Among them are, use common sense regarding outdoor physical activity—if your breathing becomes difficult or uncomfortable, stop or reduce the activity. Stay cool and drink plenty of fluids. And consider visiting a location like a shopping mall with cooler filtered air. Staying indoors may provide some relief from the smoke but many air conditioning systems do not filter the air or improve indoor air quality For more information about smoke irritation, go to interiorhealth.ca.

Friends rally in support of local artist Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
It took UBC Okanagan fine arts graduate Woon-hing Manning 17 years to finally earn her degree last month, receiv-
ing the most outstanding fine arts student award in the process. Yet sitting in a wheelchair, having just undergone four days of medical tests, it wasn’t quite the moment she had en-
visioned. “All of my friends had to see me sitting there in that chair,” she clucks, with a hint of disgust. Sharp-tongued and smiling a little over a month after the convoca-
tion, its hard to imagine this strong, confident person—who supports both her 14-year-old daughter and 82-year-old father— is sick as she darts about the backyard of their creek-side home.
Vegetables planted along the back fence, apricots ready to pick, she is setting up artwork for a photo before she sells them in a few days time. See Friends A4

▼ WILDEN DEVELOPMENT
A lot for every income level Bobbi-Sue Menard CONTRIBUTOR
There are over 2000 acres of ridges, hillsides and valleys in Glenmore, brought under a single and uncompromising development vision at Wilden. More than half of the land will remain in pristine, untouched condition, lots will be developed in ‘pockets’ contoured around the landscape, and it is not for snobs. Mixed in with spectacular, world envy views are prime building sites for starter family townhomes, and detached family homes. The development at Wilden is the vision of owner Gerhard Blenk. He first discovered the property almost 15 years ago and he hiked and explored every inch of the land before deciding on what to do with the property. “I had some mixed feelings about development, to go ahead we needed to keep fifty percent of land as it is.” Keeping the natural environment clean and healthy is a priority for Blenk. Abandoned cars have been dredged out of existing ponds, wet-
lands have been restored and every lot comes predrilled for geothermal heating and cooling. Blenk is in no hurry to blast away at the hillsides. Wilden has key community infrastructure already in place. Its own water reservoir system has been installed and carefully camouflaged by nature. Road works have been laid and the extensive trail system is in place. “The land is all paid for,” says Blenk. “I see this as a 25-year buildout.” In fact, Blenk is so measured in his pace for building and wants residents to have such a good experience, there is a strict three year construction timeline, which discourages lot flipping and speculators. “I am willing to lose sales from flippers. This is not a race,” says Blenk. Understanding the vision is important, experiencing the scope of Wilden is breathtaking. Imagine a home that almost feels cantilevered over Okanagan Lake, yet is so high you can see until the mountains curve the lake out of view when you look to the north. The
SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS
GERHARD BLENK, owner and president of the Blenk Development Corporation. southern perspective visually skims over the summit of Knox, encompasses the City, the lake, and fully realizes Okanagan Mountain. That is what building and owning a home at the Skylands neighborhood at Wilden will feel like. Lots at the Skylands neighbourhood are from $199,900 to $649,900. The wide range of options and configurations include, walkouts, level
lots, uphill lots, and every lot in the Skylands neighborhood has a buffer of a ‘non-disturbance/slope protection area.’ Wilden is a development where the activity never stops. Tucked into a charming space below the Skylands are 72 lots with prices beginning at $160,000. The lots will have land development completed and will be released for
sale this fall. These lots will have family homes built on them, with completed home pricing well under $500,000. These particular homes will be surrounded by natural slopes and look out over Clear Pond, a community within a community. This mix is an intentional park of the vision says Blenk, “Our philosophy is a lot for every income. I don’t want this to
be ‘snob hill.’” Homebuyers who are looking for an immediate solution have options at Wilden. Hidden Lake Lane is a grouping of three storey townhomes with over 2500 square feet of living space plus a two car garage. These charming townhomes deliver space and comfort and prices start under $450,000. There are also several brand new
homes to choose from. Wilden has the scope of character and time to become even more than Blenk may have imagined. His idea of a 25-year build-out has him looking the future with confidence. “First you have to have the vision then have the guts. It is not enough to have a dream, you have to build.”
▼ POLICE ON THE WATER
Cigarette boat driver ticketed; pontoon boater still missing Kathy Michaels CONTRIBUTOR
Local tipsters helped Mounties get the reckless boater who waylaid the search for missing Kelowna man Cole Barr. RCMP made a publick request for information r Tuesday and by
Thursday were able to track down the Albertan boat owner to his local residence and issue a violation ticket for operating a vessel in a careless manner, without due care and attention, said Sgt. Ann Morrison. The related fine costs $402.50. The cigarette boater hit
the Mounties’ radar Tuesday during their search for Barr in the Bertram Creek area. While combing the waters, their efforts were halted by a white and blue cigarette boat, buzzing by at a speed that prompted police to activate their emergency equipment
and take off in pursuit. The speeder, however, seemed intent on avoiding the their efforts, explained Morrison. “The police officer was unable to catch up to the boater and believes that the operator was evading him,” she said. “Const. Williams says
that the boat was going very fast; too fast for our water and fears that someone is going to get hurt or die as a result of the drivers behavior.” As for the search for Barr, 25, Mounties have called off their efforts due to choppy waters, and will re-convene after the long
weekend. Barr had spent the evening of July 19 on the lake with four friends when he fell over as the pontoon boat headed back to the Eldorado boat ramp. Police say the boat operator slowed the boat abruptly and Barr, who
was standing at the edge of the front of the boat, lost his balance and pitched forward into the water. Others boat passengers heard a thump under the boat, and briefly saw him behind the boat floating. The jumped in to grab him, but by then he had disappeared.

Artist to realize her dream of having her own solo art exhibit Friends from A1 It’s been a long journey to this point, though in many ways her journey is just beginning. Diagnosed with an incurable cancer just a few weeks after she finally completed her degree, friends have decided her lifelong academic quest should culminate in a solo show. It will celebrate her extraordinary achievement, but also raise money for the next arduous task—preparing for her family’s future. Manning is no stranger to adversity. In the beginning of her undergraduate life, she worked full-time at places like McDonald’s, completing coursework on the side. At one point, she was forced onto Employment Insurance and into a retraining program which saw her travel to and from Vancouver weekly for three years. When her mother had a stroke, her then sevenyear-old daughter had to call with news there was a problem. She became her
grandmother’s bedside translator in hospital, pitching in so her mother could finish her studies. When Manning talks about her achievements, she is quick to point out the family sacrifices. “They are always there,” she says, motioning toward her 14year-old daughter and father. “At the show, they came for two days. Reading. Typing on the computer until I needed something.” The show she is referring to was held this spring by the fourth year fine arts students; it’s an annual tradition to showcase what they’ve become collectively. For her contribution, Manning transported a three-storey cage home made of bed frames to the school and built a fullroom installation. The piece demonstrated the differences between how Canadians live and how China’s poor spend their days, paying rent to live in a metal box with little to no privacy. Manning is Chinese, though born in Vietnam.
Her family left when the Vietnam War came to Saigon, the Communist army overtaking what’s now Ho Chi Minh City where her family had made their home. In 1989 she came to Canada as an international student set to enter the Okanagan College fine arts program, but was forced out upon arrival. Her English, she was told, would need upgrading before she could begin her studies. She spent the year completing the task, then started in fine arts a few years later where she would meet lifelong teachers like Bob Belton, now dean of the UBCO creative and critical studies department, and Fern Helfand, who taught her at UBCO and is incorporating her anecdotes on life in Asia in her upcoming book. In the years since, she has immigrated and permanently settled in the city, her parents following. She did her stint in Vancouver, training in architecture and building engineering technol-

ogy and found work with places like the City of Kelowna and Meiklejohn Architects. When she was laid off from her latest job, however, she returned to the UBCO creative and critical studies department to complete the big task. “I don’t like to start things and not finish,” she explains, when asked why she persevered. Manning now knows she has bile duct cancer which is extremely rare. Without treatment, she will live only six to eight months, though with the chemotherapy she started this week, life may very well go on unhindered for up to a couple of years. This, she says, is quite a blessing. Had she been in a plane crash or even a car accident, there would have been no way to plan for the life her daughter will lead if she goes. This is how her daughter has asked that it be phrased for now and, at this point, there are no tears in this household. Manning has found a guardian to take her daughter and father and,

being diagnosed with bile duct cancer. in the weeks since life began to change, she’s also discovered something new about her world. Initially her art focused on the mixing of cultures, but in recent years she has become more politicized, looking, for example, at the struggle immigrants face to build a home in a place
that never totally feels like home. All of the work will be sold in her solo show to help solve financial issues and wrap up the home she’s built. And, funnily enough, through this process she says she has finally found the perfect home she’s been searching for as friends come forward to help.

Since taking the project on in January, she’s been bound in government red tape, as she’s earned her license and been upside down in a kayak, getting PaddleCanada training. “I wanted to say to people, ‘I experienced this, and I know how to paddle properly’,” she said.

CONTRIBUTOR
Taking time to travel deep into the Valley’s great outdoors can go without a hitch—figuratively and, now, literally too. Two businesses sprouted in provincial parks this year, allowing locals and tourists alike to explore the heights and depths of the Okanagan without having to hitch cumbersome outdoor adventure gear to their cars. Myra Canyon Bike Tour and Rentals and Fintry Fun Tours both launched into action with a provincial Park Use Permit to conduct business on government land. The practice is old hat in other areas of B.C., explained Kirk Illingworth, the Ministry of Environment’s area supervisor. But the Central Okanangan had few offerings until this year when two entrepreneurs saw a chance to make a living by filling a gap. “We are from the Netherlands, and there we bike,” said Ben Vos, part owner of Myra Canyon Bike Rentals and Tours, which can be found on the road leading to the historic trail. “It’s so nice on the trestles, so we thought why don’t they have rentals? It’s hard for tourists who are renting a car can’t bring a bike, and now we can help them out so they can spend a day with their families on bikes.” The business began in June, and while it’s been a slow start Vos believes business will pick up and, in the meantime, there are already tangible rewards.

At 64, the Fintry resident realized that her semi-retirement wouldn’t entail lollygagging about, so every day she heads to the local beach and sets up shop with a wide array of kayaks, life jackets and other recreational gear. “I live in Fintry Delta and noticed there is nothing here for people to do and if I wanted to operate

Zero tolerance today for firestarters in Okanagan
A
lazy curl of blue smoke was the first hint, but that soon developed into billows of brown, then redhued clouds as the flower of fire blossomed on a dry Okanagan hillside. High temperatures and a lush growth of grasses during our wet spring, now tinder dry, can turn a hot muffler, a spark from a backfire or a campfire, a tossed cigarette or a downed power line into a raging inferno in minutes—or it can smolder until one of the Okanagan’s typical summer breezes nudges it into life. From dry grasses to ladder fuels such as the dead lower branches on evergreens, soon it’s into the flammable pitch and the crisp needles of pines, many of which have been recently killed by the mountain pine beetle, and you have a recipe for disaster. The smell of wood smoke no longer carries the cheerful memories of singing songs and roasting marshmallows around the campfire. Instead it invokes panic in many Okanagan residents, particularly those who were here in 2003.

TRAIL MIX
Judie Steeves those who blissfully toss cigarette butts out of the car window, embers still glowing and alive; or who do not stay on open trails when dirt biking in the back country, but stray into the grasslands to create new ones. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t seem like there’s anything flammable for yards around that campfire. A gust of wind can carry a spark a goodly distance. It doesn’t matter if it seems that you’re simply tossing your live butt into a sea of concrete or asphalt. Once in the habit, you’ll just toss it whether there’s a nearby cedar hedge or a field of dry grass outside that window. And, it doesn’t matter if you don’t care about the damage you leave behind you when you enjoy the Okanagan’s incomparable wilderness areas. We’re not about to take your behaviour any more. We’re tired of living our summers with the spectre of losing our homes and possessions, hanging over our heads. We’re tired of seeing patches of green for-
est replaced by patches of blackened spires around our communities. And, we no longer want to send our friends and neighbours, family members and heroes out to fight fires that should never have started in the first place—at great danger and expense. From now on, we will report your behaviour or stop it if we can. We will take down licence numbers and record particulars such as time and place, make and model of vehicle and what you look like. Depending on the situation, contact the local fire department or police; the forest service or the toll-free Report all Poachers and Polluters line at: 1-877-952-7277. And, we will do our best to stop you from causing the wildfires that have become a feature of our summers here in the Okanagan. So, either amend your behaviour or realize you will face fines of up to a million dollars for continuing the way you have been. The Seclusion Bay fire and the 2003 Okanagan Mountain Park wildfire may not have been preventable, except by putting the power lines underground and stopping lightning, but many of the other wildfires in interface areas that have occurred in recent years, have been—whether or not that’s been admitted officially.
JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS
FIRE HAS become Okanagan residents’ worst nightmare. With tinder dry grasses and forest and high winds fanning the flames, it’s lucky the Seclusion Bay fire didn’t cause more damage than it did. Admittedly, 165 fires were started by Wednesday night’s thunderstorm. Those are the ones we can’t prevent, but we must only try to find and put them out as soon as possible—and that job is made doubly difficult when it’s compounded
by dozens of preventable fires as well. Even though you can’t light a campfire because of the dry conditions, have fun out camping and hiking this B.C. Day long weekend, but keep alert to unusual behaviour, smoke or other dangers.

Animal activists opposed to the circus coming to town Kristi Patton CONTRIBUTOR
The Jordan World Circus should draw a big crowd to the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton Sunday, but it won’t necessarily be trapeze acts or elephant tricks that take centre stage. Okanagan animal activists have put together a Facebook group called Against Bringing Jordan
World Circus to the SOEC in Penticton and so far it’s 300 members strong. Its organizers are hoping the online outpouring will translate to a real-life protest where those who believe the time for circuses has come and gone get their say. “I personally feel that a circus with exotic animals is barbaric,” said Ranette Thorpe, who is helping organize the protest.
Going to a weddinalgw?ays
“There is no need for them to exist in this day or age and certainly they do not need to be coming to Penticton.” Thorpe said she and those who have come together just want to bring an awareness about the issues under the big tent, and if they do that they hope it will spread to the power-brokers of the city, prompting them to not try and have a repeat circus
performance. “We are trying to be proactive and educate as many people as we can that this particular circus and circuses in general, well we hope they don’t come back,” she said. “There should be a city bylaw that will not allow this to happen.” Earlier this month the Jordan World Circus ran into roadblocks when they found themselves hav-
ing to abide by a City of Prince George exotic animal bylaw that limited the appearances of exotic animals. It meant there were no elephant rides at the show and no bears or elephants performed. Thorpe encourages Penticton residents to let city council know their thoughts on exotic animals performing in Penticton by sending letters.

Penticton Mayor Dan Ashton agreed, stating he personally has only had three people approach him that were against it. “We are very proactive at the city and we listen to our constituents and if our constituents are saying they don’t want this type of act at the events centre or in the city that is what council will look at,” said Ashton. One Jordan World Circus animal trainer and handler, who is contracted out by the circus, said this kind of protest is detrimental to the animals which travel with the circus. “Any claims of trying to improve the quality of life of these elephants is bogus because all they are doing is keeping these animals from getting off their chains and being able to perform everyday which is their form of exercise …they have had to be basically chained up for the past week,” said Steeples, who has been touring the province with Jordan World Circus. After 18 years as a bear trainer, 16 of those contracted by the Jordan World Circus, she said she has never seen any abuse of the animals performing. Steeples said she has heard protest groups claim there is documentation and videos supporting the
charge that the trainers are abusing the animals and these are “false.” “We just feel people should come out to the show, come see for themselves and don’t let people who look things up on the Internet and spew lies and hatred and basically slander innocent people sway their views,” said Steeples. “They need to come out to the circus, see how the animals are treated for themselves and I guarantee anyone who comes to the show will not feel that they just watched animals be abused in any form.” As a bear trainer, Steeples took on the bears after her father in-law decided to retire from training and she didn’t want the bears going to an unreputable owner. She claims to have a “stellar reputation” and that her bears are treated with much respect and live comfortable lives. “Morally I feel I can put my head on the pillow at night and be content with the way I have treated my bears over the past 16 years,” Steeples said. “I say ‘Goodnight, I love you to my kids,’ everynight and I say the same things to my bears every night: ‘Mommy loves you.’ It sounds kind of weird and I know no one will believe it, but that is how it is.”
Electrical cable set below lake to enhance electricity service BC Hydro is reinforcing electrical service to Westside Road customers. New electrical submarine cables spanning more than 3.6 kilometres are currently being installed under Okanagan Lake from Lake Country to Westside Road . These four new cables will replace the existing three aging cables that have been serving customers on Westside Road for more than 25 years. This $2.3-million investment in local infrastructure is part of BC Hydro’s overall investment of $1.77 billion this year to upgrade electrical infrastructure in the province. “This project will improve the reliability of electrical service to B.C. Hydro’s Westside Road customers,” said B.C. Hydro’s community relations coordinator, Gene Bryant. “We are working quickly to ensure that the cables are installed in time to meet this winter’s high demand. “That deadline combined with fisheries approvals means we have a limited work window this summer.” The east end foreshore area is now considered protected kokanee spawning habitat, so B.C. Hydro’s team engineered a solution to place the cables under the beach without disturbing the surface or the spawning habitat. The project involves the use of a specialized barge, cable laying equipment and divers. The project is expected to be completed in early August.

A $5-million plus expansion to the Kelowna Family Y has gone from dream to reality with the completion of their capital campaign. The successful completion of fundraising for the proposed 18,000 square foot addition was announced July 28. The expansion includes a multi-purpose gymnasium, running track and children’s centre. Campaign chair Anna Hunt-Binkley said the effort marks the first capital expansion to the Hartman Road facility. The campaign’s goal at the outset was to raise the funds needed for the expansion’s $5.7-million price tag. The total achieved by the campaign was $5,618,040. Additionally, the city plans to use the opportunity to upgrade utilities and add energy-saving improvements to the facility at the cost of $1.3 million. The campaign drew together a $1 million contribution from the federal government, a $1.6 million contribution from the City of Kelowna and $2.63 million through private and corporate donations from the community. “The generosity of the community has been outstanding,” noted HuntBinkley. The effort brought in an $800,000 anonymous gift, the largest donation ever received by the Ke-

y now we all know that schoolyard and cyber bullying is a serious subject with serious consequences for those involved. Preventing and stopping bullying continue to be important priorities in our quest to provide physical and emotional safety for our children. Bullying among chilHEALING dren is recognized as a MINDS major public health problem and studies indicate between 20 and 30 per cent of school aged children are frequentinvolved in bullying— Paul ly either as victims or bulLatimer lies. All of these children are at increased risk for a variety of problems including low self-regard, depression, anxiety and violent behaviours among other things. A recent review study, published in May in the Canadian Journal of Psychiatry, has confirmed that bullying in childhood is significantly associated with suicidal ideas and attempts later in life. Study authors compared and analyzed results from 31 studies examining the association between bullying and suicide. Data from all studies point to a clear association between bullying and suicide. Some particularly interesting findings came out of this review study. It was found that not only victims, but bullies themselves are at increased risk of suicide later in life. This risk is particularly present if the childhood bully experienced comorbid psychiatric problems. A recommendation stemming from this finding is for children involved in bullying behaviour to be actively screened for psychiatric problems and suicidal thoughts. Evidence shows bullying victims exhibit high levels of suicidal ideation and are more likely to have attempted suicide than non-victims. Similarly, those who do the bullying also have higher levels of both ideation and attempts and the individuals who exhibit the highest risks are those involved in both bullying and being bullied. Studies have inconsistent results when it comes to the different risk for girls versus boys. Some studies claim the increased risk of suicide for bullies is only evident among girls and not boys. Conversely, another study found the same for boys and at least one study found no difference between boys and girls. Clearly, more study in this area will need to be done before it is clear what, if any, the differences are between boys and girls. Some experts suggest a different threshold for girls and boys when it comes to bullying and suicidal thoughts. It seems even infrequent bullying is associated with increased risk among girls, whereas for boys only frequent bullying led to an increased risk. Whatever the individual differences between the sexes, it is clear from all studies that both girls and boys experience negative mental health effects from bullying in all forms. With suicide rates among young people on the rise around the world, it is imperative for all influential adults—parents, teachers, health care providers and the media to do whatever we can to minimize risk factors. Preventing and stopping bullying is an important step as is ensuring mental health issues are not taboo so our kids know when to ask for help and can be assured they will get help when they do.

The extension of the Abbott Street recreational corridor from Royal to Rose Avenues began April 19, 2010. The $1 million project was funded in part by the Canada’s Infrastructure Stimulus Fund. The City of Kelowna contributed $330,000 towards the project. For up to date information on road closures and potential delays, visit kelowna.ca/roadreport.

lower-than-average wages and little job security. In the construction industry, it will be the skilled workers and tradespeople with credentials who will find the job opportunities opening to them first. Youth and young adults who are smart and able will choose to transition into post-secondary education to increase their probability of gaining stable full-time employment. They should research their options to make sure their career goals align with future job opportunities. Those who choose otherwise run the risk of long-term unemployment or having to take a low-paying job which offers little security and no benefits. It isn’t rocket science when it comes to figuring out why we can have economic growth and no job recovery. It’s really about using education to build the right work force to meet the changing needs of the Canadian economy.

As the market dropped their mortgage might be higher than the value of their home. Financially they may not be in a position to sell and move away. Finally, employment insurance, believe it or not, can stop workers from transitioning back to work as they have the ability to hold out for better opportunities. This gets ever more complicated where longterm unemployment decreases a workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to secure work as employers are skeptical to hire someone who has not held a job for some time. So how will this all play out in the long-term? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite simple. Those with a post-secondary education, especially in high demand areas such as health, education, or information technology will weather just about any economic recession. As in-demand workers they can and will receive above average wages. Meanwhile, incomes for those workers who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the skills, education or experience to meet the needs of the labour market can expect

New response teams enhance care for high acuity patients Interior Health is pleased to announce the launch of High Acuity Response Teams this fall that will enhance transport and care needs of acutely ill patients throughout the health region. These teams will consist of highly-trained critical care nurses responding with a B.C. Ambulance Service basic life support ambulance team to transport acutely ill patients from outlying rural and remote health sites to higher levels of care. In more complex cases, a respiratory therapist will be called in to assist. “The new joint Interior Health and BCAS transportation model for acutely ill patients will improve care by providing region wide access to High Acuity Response Teams,” said Health Services Minister Kevin Falcon. “HART will bring a higher-level of acute care to patients and support them during transfers between facilities.” HART nurses and respiratory therapists will be based at larger referral hospitals where they will support emergency departments and intensive care units when not involved in the transport of patients. “Interior Health serves a large geographic area with a multitude of
rural and remote health sites. This new service supports patient care at those sites and will ensure acutely ill patients who need a higher level of care are transported to the appropriate sites with highly-trained clinicians looking after them,” said Dr. Robert Halpenny, IH president and CEO. “Under medical direction, HARTs would either support the high acuity needs of the patient at the local rural site, or during transport of the patient to a higher level of care.” “These teams represent a partnership between BCAS and Interior Health for high acuity inter-facility transfers. BCAS will continue to play a key role in the transport of acutely ill patients, by providing our expertise in ambulance transportation and logistics, while partnering with Interior Health who will provide the clinical support for their patients,” said Ralph Jones, acting director of provincial programs for BCAS “We have been working collaboratively and I’m pleased with the steps we’ve been able to take in the interest of patients, while making the best use of our resources. “BCAS provides the expertise in transport while Interior Health clinicians support the complex care
needs of patients at the rural health facility and during transport to a higher level of care,” added Kelly Murphy, IH corporate director of medical affairs and clinical networks. The creation of HARTs will support the sustainability of medical services in rural communities as this will reduce the number of times nurses and physicians from rural health sites are required to assist in transport of acutely ill patients. “HARTs represent an added service to the region and addresses concerns raised by frontline clinicians. We know the loss of a nurse or physician for an extended period of time has a significant impact on the ability to maintain service when these nurses and physicians may be the only clinicians on duty serving the local community,” noted Murphy. Teams will start operating initially in the Thompson Cariboo Shuswap and Kootenay Boundary this fall, with the conversion of the current Ad Hoc Kamloops-based model and Trail-based Critical Care Transport Team model to HART. A Cranbrook-based team will commence operations in early 2011. Additional teams will be based at other IH referral sites in the future.

▼ RELATIONSHIPS
Understanding what it means to feel connected E xperiencing a sense of connection is like tasting the best chocolate that ever was. You savour each little bit as it slowly melts and allow yourself to experience the deliciousness of the moment. It is in a lover’s kiss and the glorious red sunset on a hot summer night. And it is also in places that you might not expect. When you sense that feeling of absolute connectedness, you just know it somehow.
EMOTIONAL RESCUE

back of my neck and arms stand on end, as if every cell in my body is completely open and receptive to the information, greeting it like a long lost friend. This sense of knowing is also accompanied by an incredibly electrifying and euphoric tingling sensation throughout my entire body. It’s as if sparks of love are coursing through my entire being that shocks me out of my human delusion of feeling separate somehow.
For others they sense this connection like an inner knowing of sorts like an intuitive knock on the door of your heart that says, “Yes, this is what I’ve been searching for…” Perhaps the easiest way to describe this feeling is when you hear a particularly moving piece of music and it captures an emotion that is so deep within you that your entire body resonates with the music. For that moment, you ride that wave of unity, of
knowing that the beauty in that moment is all that there is. It is pure beauty, love, harmony, peace and connection The actual time that it takes to get there does not matter. And how it shows itself is different for everyone. Perhaps you love to sing and you hear the connection within your voice as it meets the space between you and the universe.

Or perhaps you can feel this connection when you are dancing and you let yourself get lost in the rhythm of the music as it moves its way into the inner beat of your soul. Maybe you are a writer and you know when the story ends because you have that sense of completeness and knowing that your words make sense on a deeper level, that it resonates somehow with your inner being. Or perhaps you are a mother who is watching her child sleeping and witnesses the peace and beauty of innocence. Or maybe you are caring for your elderly parent and you are experiencing first hand what it means to truly love someone. Or maybe it’s when you read something that speaks to your inner experience of life and you resonate with the words on a very deep level…as if the author is speaking directly to you.
It’s a feeling of deep recognition, of validation, of being witnessed and understood. We all have moments of this and it is this sometimes fleeting connection that keeps us yearning for more. So how can we create this feeling of connection more often? The simple answer is to appreciate what is happening in this moment. When you choose to see this connection, you will find that it’s all around you and everywhere…it’s in the sunrise, the sunset and everything in-between. It is in the moments that capture our hearts, the moments that stir an inner awakening and reminder of all that is good in this world. A moment that speaks to the deeper part of you in a compassionate and loving way, reminding you that you are not alone.

Berlin soccer club acquires Kelowna striker
Playoff showdown for Falcons
Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Rob Friend has returned to the second division of German soccer to get both his career back on track and to help Hertha Berlin return to prominence. After three seasons with Borussia Monchengladbach, the 6-foot-4 striker from Kelowna has signed on with Hertha Berlin club through the 2012-13 campaign. In 2007-08, Friend enjoyed the most prolific season of his pro career, scoring 18 goals in 33 games and was instrumental in boosting Borussia from the second division back to the first Bundesliga the following season. But over the next two seasons, a heel injury, combined with a coaching
change, deprived Friend of his accustomed playing time and he gradually lost his starting position on Borussia’s depth chart. In Hertha Berlin’s case, a disastrous season in 2009-10 saw them finish in 18th place in Bundesliga resulting in relegation down to the second division. Hertha Berlin GM Michael Preetz and coach Markus Babbel both see Friend as a key component in their club’s anticipated return to Bundesliga 1. Hertha Berlin paid close to $2 million for the services of Friend, 29, who views his new job as a good fit for both sides. “I had offers from 1st Bundesliga, from France and from Turkey,” Friend said on the German website fohlen-hautnah.de. “The concept of

“(Michael) Preetz was a very similar penalty box striker and knows exactly what I need to successfully play football.”
Friend grew up in Kelowna and played his minor soccer in the Central Okanagan. He later starred at
Western Michigan and University of California Santa Barbara. Friend played his first three seasons of pro soccer in Norway, helping Molde to the Norwegian championship in 2006. After playing one year in Holland for two different clubs, Friend was purchased by Borussia Monchengladbach in 2007. Friend has also been a fixture with the national program since 2000 and has 25 caps with the Canadian men’s team. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Okanagan A’s trio bound for U.S. schools Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Three of the Okanagan A’s most productive players during the 2010 Premier Baseball League season have been rewarded with opportunities south of the border. Graduating A’s members Graham Drope, Danny Stearns and Jordan Wolfe will all attend U.S. colleges on scholarship this fall, the most Kelowna-based midget players ever to move south in one season. Drope and Stearns will ply their trade at New
Mexico Junior College in Hobbs, N.M., while Wolfe will attend El Paso Community College in Texas. A’s head coach Evan Bailey, a former NCAA pitcher at the University of Utah, helped the local threesome move to the next level to pursue both an education and their passion for baseball. “First and foremost, they’re getting a paid education,” said Bailey. “I know for each of those three, their goal is to move on after two years to a four-year division 1 school and play baseball at a high level.
“I spoke to each of them and the most important thing is taking advantage of education at a lower price, working hard in the classroom and making the most of the opportunity.” Drope, a graduate of KSS who patrolled centre field and batted lead-off for the A’s this season, hit .285 with 24 stolen bases in 40 games. “I’d say Graham is the hardest working kid we have and he has a bulldog mentality,” said Bailey. “He came a long way since last fall and brings a lot of assets with him. He
has speed, a high on-base percentage and he’s a real threat whenever he gets on.” Stearns, a graduate of Rutland Secondary, played second base for the A’s this past season, stole 20 bases, drove in 15 runs and hit .258. “Danny has good speed, runs the bases very well and is just a pure hitter,” said Bailey. “He’s a good team guy, good to be around and he works hard at his game.” Wolfe was used primarily a third baseman but can play several other positions. He hit .283 with 13 RBIs.
“Jordan is a pretty athletic kid, you can put him almost anywhere on the field,” Bailey said. “He can do a little of everything, he has the best arm of the three and he’s good, solid hitter. He’s a real valuable guy.” Several other graduating members of the A’s will be furthering their baseball careers and education next season at Okanagan College, including Brandon Klym, Daniel Ballingall, Kyle Monster, Todd Leavitt and George Currie. The A’s missed the BCPBL playoffs this sea-

The Kelowna Falcons prospects of nailing down a 2010 West Coast League playoff spot will come down to the final weekend of the regular season. In a head-to-head battle for the second and final berth in the East Division, the Falcons will host the Moses Lake Pirates for a three-game series, Aug. 3 to 5. The Falcons closed out a three-game series Thursday night with the Corvallis Knights. A final score wasn’t available at press time. Heading into Thursday’s action, the Falcons (20-24) and Pirates (1721) were tied for second spot. Kelowna will have this weekend off, while the Pirates play a threegame series in Kitsap. The Wenatchee Apple Sox (24-14) have a considerable lead in the East and, barring any late-season collapse, will finish first. The Falcons 20th win of the season came Wednesday night at Elks in a 9-2 drubbing of Corvallis. Left hander Dayne Quist tied a team record with his sixth win of the season. Kelowna blew the game open in the fifth inning with seven runs. Alex Allbritton paced the offense with two hits and three RBIs. Tyler Chism homered and had his 50th hit of the season, a new Falcons single-season record.

▼ U15 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL
Briscoe grows with B.C. team Her second tour of duty with Team B.C. now complete, Brooke Briscoe is happy to give her latest experience with the provincial U15 girls basketball squad an enthusiastic thumbs-up. The 15-year-old guard/forward spent the last two months practicing and playing with the provincial team, including appearing in international tournaments in Spokane, Seattle and Kamloops. Briscoe, who also played on Team B.C. in 2009 as 14-year-old, said the provincial program has been vital to her growth as a better all-around player. “I’ve definitely gained
more knowledge about the game, my decision making is better and I’m making progress with my defense,” the 5-foot-9 Briscoe said. “My skills, dribbling and shooting are better, and I’m learning how to play more of a team game.” They are attributes which will undoubtedly come in handy this fall as Briscoe moves into high school as a Grade 10 player with the Kelowna Secondary School Owls. Her older siblings— Rachelle and Dan Briscoe—also played at KSS and are now both playing university ball—Rachelle
with Trinity Western and Dan with the UBC Okanagan Heat. The youngest Briscoe would like to follow in their footsteps, but with three years of high school left, she’s in no hurry to set any long-term goals. “Honestly, it’s wide open right now, I don’t know for sure where I want it to take me,” she said. “I know that I love playing and I would love to play CIS someday, or maybe down south but that’s a long way off. Right now I’m having fun with it.” As far as her potential future with B.C.’s prov-
incial program, Briscoe would like to make it three years in a row and catch on with the U16 team next summer. Briscoe said the Team B.C. experience has broadened her horizons, both as a player and as a person. “I absolutely love it,” said Briscoe. “From the actual basketball, to the great coaching, to being around the girls, it’s been awesome. “Socially, it’s been a really good experience for me. To get to know different people, to travel and see different places has really been nice.”

both the basketball and volleyball provincial high school championships. Ironically, it was Immaculata that won the silver medal in both those championships with CCAA athlete of the year Alex Basso as the opposing heavy hitter for Immaculata in both sports.

With these two multi-sport titans on the same team, the already potent Heat lineup will have even more firepower for the coming season which will be the Heat’s last in the BCCAA before moving into the Canada West conference of the CIS. Kendra looks forward to
joining her former rival Basso on the Heat line-up as well as being able to play for the Heat coaching staff. “I was very excited when I found out that Steve needed another player at such a late date because the volleyball program is so strong, and heading towards the CIS level,” said Way-
ling. “I’ve heard great things about Steve as a coach, and Kelowna is a nice size, beautiful, and not too far from home.” Coach Manuel is excited about bringing Kendra onboard. “Kendra is an exciting addition to our program, she is a great athlete and an outstand-

McKay is one of the teachers in the Taoist Tai Chi Society who will be demonstrating the 108-movement, longform Tai Chi practice around the world in midAugust.
Here in Kelowna, it will mean a group of roughly 50 practitioners will be in Stuart Park on Aug. 14 at 7 a.m., all moving through the same restorative routine said to keep the body so supple, long-term practitioners have spongy, almost bendy bones. “I come out of Tai Chi feeling joyful,” explains Swee Lin Ludwig, a fellow teacher who has joined the conversation. “It’s for the pure joy of it,” McKay adds, saying the society tries to spread positive feelings in everything they do whether its marshal arts or feeding

tually disappeared into hers as they shook, he’s so flexible. Lin-shin started the practice after recovering his health as a child through Tai Chi. The marshal art increases circulation and flexibility, but it’s really designed to maintain the vitality of youth. Ideally, they explain, Lin-shin believed people would practice the harder marshal arts up to the age of 25 then switch to the softer ones, like Tai Chi, as they pass through young adulthood. McKay got started when a friend took her to a session and she has been a member

voluntarily as all of the instructors do. Ludwig, on the other hand, actually came to the practice via her daughter, who was in university at the time. Though there are few young people in the local society, around the world it’s a very common way for university students to cope with stress and even with travel. The society owns properties all over the world where anyone who is a member in any city can stop in, practice and even stay the night. “It’s interesting. It’s been 40 years for the so-
ciety and we have 40,000 members world wide,” say Ludwig. The worldwide practice session is a celebration of the society’s 40th birthday. For more information on the International Taoist Tai Chi Society, its locations and the 40th anniversary, the society has a website: www.taoist.org.

▼ MOVIE PREVIEWS
Idiocy, heartache in summer movies A
lthough the trailer for Dinner for Schmucks reminded me of Dumb and Dumber (and that is not necessarily a put-down), it may be unfair to compare the two movies. It is actually a loose remake of a 1998 French film called The Dinner Game, itself an adaptation of the Francis Veber play. Tim (Paul Rudd) plays a rising executive who finds out the best way to move up in his company is to participate in his boss’ monthly event—a so-called dinner for idiots. The gathering offers certain advantages to the executive who shows up with the biggest buffoon. Rudd’s character succeeds in finding the perfect guest with Barry (Steve Carell). Zach Galifianakis, who was largely responsible for the success of last year’s The Hangover, also stars as one of the dinner guests. It is directed by Jay Roach, best known for the Meet the Parents and Austin Powers movies. Jonah Hill and John C. Reilly are best known for their wacky comedies like Superbad and Step Broth-

Reilly plays a divorcee who is having trouble getting into another relationship. When he does find a woman who is interested in him, there is a catch: Her adult son (Hill) with a strong attachment to her. The sparks fly as both try to win her affections while undermining each other behind her back. Marisa Tomei stars as the woman in the middle as well as Catherine Keener as Reilly’s exwife. While the story does sound familiar, it is not a screwball comedy as writer-directors Jay and Mark Duplass balance the comic elements with effective drama. Charlie St. Cloud is Zac Efron’s attempt

He plays the title character in this romantic drama with a supernatural twist as a young man overcome by grief at the death of his younger brother Sam. His special bond with Sam allows them to meet up nightly to play catch and talk. However, when a girl comes into Charlie’s life, he must choose between keeping a promise he made to his broth-
er or going after the girl he loves. Charlie St. Cloud was directed by Burr Steers (who previously worked with Efron on 17 Again) in Vancouver and Gibsons. There is a restaurant in the movie called Flynn’s Reach which is actually the legendary Molly’s Reach, made famous in the Beachcombers TV series. There is not much that can be said for Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore. It is the sequel to the moderately successful 2001 family
film about what felines and canines are doing behind our backs which is best described as James Bond meets Toy Story. In the sequel, the James Bond comparison becomes even more obvious as a hairless Sphynx cat named Kitty Galore decides to take over the world and enslave humans. To stop her, dogs, cats and even birds must team up and save the world. Plus it is in 3-D. Rick Davis is the manager of the Capitol Theatre in West Kelowna. capitol_wes@landmarkcinemas.ca

▼ LITTLE RIVER BAND
Blast from the past resonates with audience Barry Gerding EDITOR
Reminiscing was an appropriate song for the Little River Band to perform at their concert Wednesday at the Kelowna Community Theatre. Because that’s what the older demographic audience was doing as they listened to the band perform most of the group’s many hits during the mid-1970s. Songs like Help Is On Its Way, Cool Change, Lady, Night Owls and Happy Anniversary elevated the band during that era from an Australia success to international acclaim. Celebrating its 35th anniversary, band members have come and gone during that era but the Little River Band has endured, becoming a music cultural icon in their homeland. In leaving its native shores, LRB found initial acceptance in Canada on the strength of the hit single Help Is On Its Way. Since the band’s ongoing presence since 1980 is mostly felt in their native country, it was no surprise that the band’s songlist on Wednesday was chalk full of their early hits.
With long-time band member American Wayne Nelson on bass doing a terrific job of recreating former lead singer Glen Shorrock’s signature vocal sound, the crowd applauded enthusiastically as the group’s past hits rolled out. Joining him on stage were guitarists Greg Hind and Rich Herring, drummer Mel Watts and keyboard player Chris Marion. Nelson dedicated Help Is On Its Way to all the military personnel serving in active duty around the world. The band closed the 90 minute show with an extended, rousing version of The Lonesome Loser that had most people standing and cheering. After the concert, the band members spent time in the lobby signing autographs before heading out on the bus to the next tour stop. Being on the road is something the Little River Band has become accustomed to, having played 350 concerts alone between 2006 and ‘09, which translated into almost 250,000 miles on the bus.

▼ THEATRE OF THE SPIRIT
Play provokes spiritual values Lonely People, written and directed by Bhaktimarga Swami, has been performed by multiple casts at various international venues. It explores the social issues of loneliness in its various forms and suggests ways to cure it. Presented as a tragic comedy it will be sure to entertain while at the same time provoke deeper integration of spiritual and moral values. The theatrical presentation will be followed by a wonderful Kirtan led by Swami and the performers. Kirtan is a Bhakti Yoga practice of call and response chanting of Mantra performed in India’s
devotional traditions and will be accompanied by musical instruments. Bhaktimarga Swamiis a native of Chattam, Ont., who studied at Cambrian College (Sudbury) in fine arts. After joining the Hare Krishna movement in Toronto, he ultimately adopted the lifetime vows of a celibate monk. Swami has also gained notoriety for his crossCanada walking missions “to promote a spiritual healing for the nation.” His play will be performed in Kelowna on Aug. 10, 7 p.m., at the Okanagan College Theatre. Tickets available at Mandala Books or at the door. Call 250-765-2138.

A sunny situation
A
fter endless weeks of grey skies, rain showers and March-like temperatures, summer has arrived in earnest in the last couple of weeks. Temperatures have reached well into the upper 20s on some days, and in some areas, it’s been hotter than that. And as many people will attest, the weather report doesn’t quite capture how warm it is in the middle of the afternoon in their house or backyard. While the sunny days are
great news for the sun-worshippers and beach-goers, high temperatures can spell trouble for those vulnerable to the heat, such as seniors and infants. Health officials advise people to stay out of the sun in such weather, and to keep their homes as cool as possible by closing the blinds and using fans. However, even with such precautions, it can be difficult to stay cool. Senior citizens living in a west-facing, third-floor apartment, for example, may have a
MAIN SWITCHBOARD
hard time keeping their home cool, even with fans blowing and shades drawn. And exposure to extreme heat is not just a matter of comfort. It can lead to heat exhaustion, fainting, cramps, and in some cases, heat stroke. Health Canada says heat stroke is a potentially fatal medical emergency, and anybody exhibiting its symptoms—throbbing headache, dizziness, confusion, nausea or red, hot skin—should call 911. In addition to staying indoors
where it’s coolest, officials say you should drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and limit your physical activity, especially during the day when it’s hottest. If your home is too hot, spend a few hours somewhere with air conditioning, like a mall, or cool off by taking a cold shower or bath. Most importantly, residents should look out for one another—a quick visit or phone call to an elderly neighbour is all it takes to make sure the heat isn’t taking its toll.

B.C. a global leader in how to collect specialty taxes T he B.C. government continues to innovate. First on the continent with an emission-based carbon tax, first in Western Canada to embrace the European-style value added tax, and now, first to plunge into high-stakes Internet casino gambling. Housing and Social Development Minister Rich Coleman did the big rollout for the Vancouver TV cameras last week, but the plan has been known since March. A sleepy little website where people can save a trip to the corner store to buy their Lotto Max tickets is given a sudden dose of corporate steroids: online slots, Texas hold ’em poker later this year, and a
betting limit jacked up to $10,000 a week. Coleman defended this latest quantum leap in government gambling with a lurid scenario—kids borrowing mom’s credit card from her purse and logging on for a no-limit spree at a casino site in the Cayman Islands. He claims B.C. gamblers are spending $100 million a year at unregulated sites that siphon profits offshore, and might be crooked to boot. Then there were two more hits to the reputation of B.C. Lottery Corp.,
already dented by the casual oversight of lottery ticket sales revealed a couple of years ago. Its high-stakes PlayNow.com site Tom was pulled offline a Fletcher few hours after Coleman’s photo op. The initial explanation was a surge of traffic. Days later BCLC admitted that registered players’ gambling and banking information had been compromised. At about the same time, a leaked document revealed that BCLC was facing $670,000 in fines for paper-

work errors in its reporting of large cash transactions to a federal agency known as FINTRAC. This Ottawa bureaucracy was set up to track terrorist financing in the frantic days after 9/11, and in my considered opinion it is every bit as useful as the long gun registry or taking your shoes off at the airport. The same can be said of B.C.’s own paper tiger, the Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch. But let’s leave that aside. The theory here is that organized criminals will bring their pimp and pusher profits into the local B.C. casino to “launder” the money. I’m trying to imagine how this
would work. Here’s another “leaked” document to illustrate the situation: To: luigi@badguys.com From: bigjulie@badguys.com Subject: B.C. casinos Hey Luigi, nice woik getting the laundromat running on the West Coast.

Climate debate a never-ending tail-chaser To the editor: Re: Scientists and climate change The issue of climate change is too narrowly focused to ever reach a consensus. What is climate? Hot. Cold. Dry. Wet. The issue is much more than that.
It is the total environment where in we live. There are dead zones in the oceans—no oxygen in the water to sustain marine life due to fertilizers and pesticides and they are increasing in numbers and size. And what about dead
zones in air space caused by ultra violet rays, carbon and sulphur dioxides, pesticides as a fertilizer? Has the Okanagan become a dead space? Where are the geese? Where are the swans? Where are the seagulls? How many robins have
you seen this year, as well as swallows, bats, bees, wasps and whatever else flies around? And what happened to all the bunny rabbits? Wiped out? And the big question: Are we to be wiped out too just like any other spe-
cies? Scientists will argue on that one to the last man standing. It is in their nature. But there were no cars when the dinosaurs got wiped out. Joe Huizenga, Kelowna

More to sustainability than LEED To the editor: Kudos to Jennifer Smith for her excellent recent article: Putting the ‘Green’ in Sustainability (July 11 Capital News), all about the Penticton Centre of Excellence. Now Kelowna area residents can see what sustainable development looks like because it is not merely LEED Certified or even LEED Gold, despite what some members of Kelowna city council or the Advisory Planning Commission might think, as both fall considerably short of the requirements for sustainability.

Sustainable development must meet the 20 objectives of the Living Building Challenge or it is simply not sustainable. Particularly important is that development be net zero in its energy and water requirements and zero in its waste footprint. There is a huge amount of ignorance locally about what constitutes sustainable development with some people thinking that highrise buildings, because they spare land, automatically qualify. I hope this article puts that myth to rest once and for all as it shows how diffi-
Every Sunday with

cult it is for highrises to be sustainable because of their large energy needs both in their construction and everyday operation, and that it is much easier to build a sustainable structure out of wood rather than concrete and to keep it low rise. Therefore, let’s forget about LEED and make the Living Building Challenge the standard for local construction if we, as a community, want to be taken seriously in our quest for sustainability.

WELCOME BACK
P.M. giving away Canadian sovereignty To the editor: Please tell me where is the news that should supersede anything and I mean anything in Canada right now? Our Prime Minister, with a mere 37.65 per cent of the people who voted behind him, is fully intending to give away Canadian sovereignty in favour of a few trade deals and a few dollars. He has finally come
right out and said what a lot of us have been thinking he has wanted since he became prime minister. Prime Minister Stephen Harper: “I know some people don’t like it. It is a loss of national sovereignty, but it is a simple reality.” (www. youtube.com/watch?v =McWAnMWoSyY//) This is our prime minister who refused to acknowledge in the election
of 2008 that there was a financial problem in Canada, to one whom now, less than two years later, says we have to surrender our sovereignty to survive financially. This is treason from a man who does not have the backing of the majority of Canadians, who has not asked Canadians for this mandate, who has not conferred with Parliament, who is simply tak-
ing the country where he wants the country to go— into the world government mode. Did you (editors) even know this? If you did, why have you hidden it from Canadians—your readers or watchers or listeners— who rely on you for this kind of information? I acknowledge that I do not read all your publications, and some of you may have mentioned
this development, and if you have, great. But why is it still hidden news? Why have the rest of you not picked up on it and simply shouted or rather screamed this to Canadians? Your prime minister is willing and wants to give away Canada and Canadian sovereignty. Do you not care? I do. Jeremy Arney Saanichton, B.C.

▼ FEDERAL POLITICS
How did Harper ‘weasel’ into government? To the editor: Let’s dot the “i’s”. Does anyone know how Steven Harper was able to recreate the trashed-out, defunct Mulroney era Conservative Party and install it into the sacred halls of the federal Parliament? I remember when Harper weaseled his way into the then-powerful Reform Party of Canada led by the very capable and popular
Preston Manning. Time and history marched on. Preston Manning developed prostate cancer and chose to bow out of his political creation. Soon after, the so called New Conservative Party started to raise its ugly head with all sorts of savory and appetizing promises. Quietly, by some sort of “book and candle” incantations the “new” disappeared and the true-blue Con-
servative Party got resurrected with Harper as its fuehrer. Is there anyone who can tell us how our “minority” Prime Minister was able to hoodwink the otherwise savvy Canadians? Or, could it be true that Lord Conrad Black is on the right track when he says that we are all a “bunch of losers?” Robert Sieclay, Rutland
Profit-making drives B.C. gov’t Express yourself Fletcher from A20 I’m gonna take a meeting next week with Big Rich. He seems like a reasonable guy, says there’s room in the market. We’ll see. At least it’ll give me a chance to tell him off about the freakin’ HST. Be careful out there. Big Julie But seriously, one question really matters
here: Is this an appropriate role for government? Coleman’s answer is that B.C. Lottery Corp. is a business. It exists for one reason, to make money for its four million shareholders. The board of directors decided to spend $325 million to upgrade its network and games, and once they get it working it should be fine. This is the same logic
that led to lawyers for that other Crown corporation, BC Ferries, grinding out a chintzy settlement of a thousand bucks or so for passengers who fled the sinking Queen of the North. As Big Julie might say, nothing personal. It’s just business. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Don Burnett steaded in Weyburn, Sask., and had three children, one of which was my father. In 1922, the family moved to Kelowna and purchased 10 acres of land just across the street from where Cottonwoods Extended Care is now. My dad met my mom, Evelyn Henderson, married her in 1942, and bingo here I am. Well there is a little more to it than that, but this little snippet of my family history dips into a greater web of souls whose DNA I carry. I have spent quite a

According to my parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journal from 1955, the first greenhouse cukes were picked and sold April 27 and the last Aug. 9. The first tomatoes came off somewhat later, on June 3, and the last were delivered Aug. 10. I can still remember well the beautiful smell of the crops in the confined space of the greenhouse. My dad would come out after picking or pruning with his hands and clothes covered in green. The crop was worth a lot more in the beginning of the season as it only

GS 450h luxury hybrid for the driving enthusiast Neil Moore CONTRIBUTOR
CONTRIBUTED
PART SPORTS SEDAN, part luxury sedan, the 2010 Lexus GS 450h offers rear-wheel-drive and a potent hybrid powertrain to satisfy the driving enthusiast, along with numerous premium features for those more inclined to comfort.
In the GS 450h, Lexus has created a hybrid in more ways than one. Sure, like all vehicles of its kind, the GS employs a sophisticated gaselectric powertrain. But it is also a hybrid in terms of its role, nearly as much sports sedan as it is luxury sedan. A gentleman and a brawler; a refined vehicle with enough of an edge to make it one of the most interesting cars in the Lexus lineup. I’ve always liked the look of the GS, with its long hood, steeply raked windshield and sweptback, projector-style headlamps. The roofline slopes backwards into a bobbed rear end, topped by a sporty lip spoiler. Largediameter dual exhausts add an aggressive note. For 2010, the GS hybrid has a new front grille and wheel design with big 18-inch alloys and wide performance radials filling the wheel openings. The GS lineup is also
available in three conventional gas-powered models: the GS 350 RWD and GS 350 AWD (both with a 3.5-litre V6), and the GS 460 RWD (with a 4.6-litre V8). These are available in various trim levels, but the base vehicles for each start at $52,500, $54,500 and $67,100 respectively. As a hybrid, the GS 450h (also a rear-driver) is offered as one, fully loaded model at $71,999. That wasn’t the case in 2009 where you could buy a base model at $63,050 and the Ultra Premium model for $69,650. Price tag aside, 72-grand buys a lot of car, and this begins with a hybrid system that despite its ability to conserve fuel; is targeted more at driving enthusiasts than the granola-and-sandals crowd. This powertrain features a 24-valve, DOHC 3.5-litre V6 mated to a high-torque electric motor, along with a storage battery and energy management system. It allows the gas engine and electric See Lexus B2

Ford/Lincoln Employee Pricing (“Employee Pricing”) is only in effect from July 1, 2010 to August 31, 2010 (the “Program Period”) and refers to A-Plan pricing ordinarily available to Ford/Lincoln employees and excludes any CAW negotiated bonuses or other special incentives that employees may receive from time to time. Employee Pricing is available on the purchase or lease of most new 2010 and 2011 Ford and Lincoln vehicles (excluding 2010/2011 Mustang Shelby GT 500, F-150 Raptor, F-Series Chassis Cabs, E-Series Cutaways and Stripped Chassis, F-650/F-750). The new vehicle must be delivered or factory ordered from your participating Ford Dealer during the Program Period. This offer can be used in conjunction with most retail consumer offers made available by Ford of Canada at either the time of factory order or delivery, but not both. Employee Pricing is raincheckable. Employee Pricing is combinable with the Commercial Connection Program but not combinable with CPA, GPC, CFIP, Daily Rental Allowance, A/X/Z/D/F-Plan and A/Z-Plan Loyalty program incentives.

Lexus from B1 motor to work independently or together, switching seamlessly between modes, according to demand. If you’re wondering why the GS 350 and GS 450h share the same engine, but not the same numbering convention, the company claims it’s because the hybrid delivers performance on par with a 4.5-litre V8. Which makes sense as the GS 460 delivers only three more horses than the hybrid system’s 339 net hp.

STOMP ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE HYBRID SYSTEM’S ELECTRIC MOTOR PROVIDES MAXIMUM TORQUE ALMOST INSTANTLY.
Unlike the gas-powered GS models, the hybrid gets a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with six predetermined shift points (or virtual gears) that can be selected sequentially with the console-mounted shifter. I wouldn’t typically choose a CVT for anything labelled a “sports sedan,” but in the GS 450h it works. Stomp on the accelerator and the hybrid system’s electric motor provides maximum torque almost instantly. It’s kind
of like a turbo without the lag. The gas engine, mated to the CVT, quickly winds up the revs to deliver peak horsepower. Combined, power delivery is strong and linear, without the shift delays you’d normally experience from an automatic. You can get even more kick in Sport mode, selected by a console-mounted rocker switch. This setting provides an even quicker throttle response, and 0-100-km/h acceleration in less than six seconds. Of course, tapping into all that power comes with a price. The GS 450h is rated at 8.7/7.8/8.2L/100 km (city/hwy/comb)—on par with many four-cylinder vehicles. My eager-j ness to prod the pedal, however, trashed the fuel economy, netting me just over 11.0L/100 km combined. That same rocker switch can also be set to ‘Snow.’ In this mode, a typical automatic would start out in second gear; with the CVT, it simply routes less torque to the rear wheels to reduce slippage. For typical driving, however, the ‘Normal’ setting provides an optimal balance between performance and fuel economy, allowing it to run in electric-only mode longer (up to 60 km/h) and more frequently. There are several more adjacent switches revealed by sliding back the wide centre armrest a couple of inches. One of these conSee Lexus B3

Suspension firms up on Sports setting t
Lexus from B2
trols the adaptive variable suspension. On the Normal setting, comfort is a priority. This t was my usual choice, as the ride was not floaty, but still forgiving on uneven surfaces. Set the rocker switch on Sport and the suspension firms up, reducing body roll and enabling the GS to corner flat at high speeds. Another switch shuts off traction control. With the GS hybrid’s ample torque, defeating the system could present a problem on wet pavement, but when it’s dry, the car’s wide tires do an effective job of transferring power to the ground, with minimal wheelspin. t The GS 450h shares some basic architecture, like the suspension, with rthe LS flagship sedan, but the geometry is specific to the sportier GS. There’s no shortage of safety and handling technologies, with vehicle dynamics integrated management, stability control, traction control, hill-start assist, antilock brakes, brake assist, electronic brake force distribution and the intuitive park assist system all coming as standard. r You also get 10 airbags and active front headrests with whiplash protection. Inside the GS hybrid’s extremely quiet and cosseted cabin, you’ll find an fextensive suite of luxury and convenience features. These include premium leather seating surfaces; 10-way power front seats with heating, ventilation
and three memory settings for the driver; proximity key with pushbutton start; automatic climate control; voice-activated HDD navigation system; power tilt/telescopic wood steering wheel with audio controls; power moonroof; power rear window sunshade; 14-speaker AM/ FM/XM Mark Levinson audio system with sixDVD changer; and much more. The instrument layout is attractive and easy to read, as are the controls on the centre console. As mentioned, more can be found under the armrest and several are contained in a small panel to the left of the steering column. This drops down to reveal controls for the trip odometer, parking sensor, rear sunshade, mirrors, headlight system and more. I would have preferred that the mirror settings, which I access frequently, be on the door or dash in a convenient location. Still, I can see why designers tucked many of these buttons and knobs away, lest the Lexus interior begin to resemble an airplane cockpit—or an Audi. There’s decent room in back for three adults, but knee room is a bit snug for tall passengers. The one compromise in buying this hybrid, as opposed to a conventional gas-powered GS, is in the trunk where the battery takes a bite out of its capacity. In the GS450h, you get 0.30 cubic metres of cargo space (10.6 cubic feet), whereas the GS 350/460 provides 0.360 cubic
metres (12.7 cu. ft.). Still, the trunk is good enough for a couple of golf bags, minus the carts. It’s a minor gripe and one of very few I could
find in the GS 450h. Except, perhaps the price tag, which is probably why you don’t see many of these vehicles on the road.

When romance of a muscle bike wears off: Suzuki GSX1250SEA Rob Beintema
When cramped legs, sore knees, backpackitis and limited long trek abilities begin to outweigh the nimble spirit of a sportbike. That’s when you settle into the saddle of a bike like the GSX1250SEA with a sigh of relief. Upright seating, a sensible reach to the pegs and handlebars, versatile luggage storage, enough oomph for two-up trekking—this is the kind of Euro-style, common sense approach that makes this bike a capable sport tourer, commuter or standard bike, sort of an all-rounder for any situation. The 2010 Suzuki GSX1250SEA is the latest evolution of the
CONTRIBUTOR
Ah, the romance of riding. It’s freedom, the fullsensory experience, and I don’t have to explain it further because riders already know why they want to be out there on the weekends. Sometimes though, the initial lust and excitement doesn’t last into the long term relationship or everyday commuter commitment that you were hoping for. When the strained back muscles overcome the thundering appeal of the low-slung cruiser. When you find out your cumbersome muscle bike has more mass and power than you really need.

Most of the mechanical bits and specifications are carried over but the engine has been blacked-out for 2010. Suzuki has also added chromed bar end weights and the two-stage adjustable seating has been raised by about an inch (the low-position starts at last year’s high-position setting). The last major revision for the big Bandit was for 2007 when the 1255cc liquid-cooled motor replaced the previous 1157cc air-cooled engine. The added oomph
comes on at a significantly lower rpm and this current version still pulls with authority. There’s always passing power available, regardless of velocity. The GSX1250SEA cruises at around 3500 rpm at 100 km/h or 4000 rpm at 120 km/h. On my first tank of gas, I was surprised to see the fuel icon blinking and one bar left on the gas gauge after only 188 km of mixed riding. But the tank took only 11.3 litres, so my theoretical range was about 315 km and my fuel economy average worked out to 6.0L/100km. The hard-shell top box and sidecases were redesigned for 2010. They are handsomely integrated into the style of the bike and can be removed or clipped back on in a matter of seconds. This is the only way to go. Instead of fumbling at your bike in a rainstorm, trying to squeeze in those stupid sneakers you forgot to pack, you treat the hardbags like suitcases, simply removing them to pack or

SAN FRANCISCO— Volkswagen Canada will reposition the Jetta below the Golf and significantly lower its price in order to make its move to the top of the compact sedan seg-
ment. The starting cost of the base 2011 Jetta will be $15,875 when it arrives in Canadian VW showrooms at the end of September. While the Golf has historically been VW’s entrylevel car, it is now being
positioned as the sporty, but still inexpensive, Volkswagen with the choice of body styles ranging up to the powerful GTI hot hatch. The Jetta will only be available as a four-door sedan, VW Canada says the new price should lead
to an anticipated 24,000 sales in the coming year, up from 19,000 last year, while boosting Golf sales at the same time. Volkswagen is currently considered either the first or second largest car company on the planet and has long seen North
America as being the fiscal nut they have to crack. In fact, VW Canada president, John White, told the Canadian press introduction in Los Angeles that the 2011 Jetta is viewed as the most imSee Jetta B7

ANYONE who has ever driven a Volkswagen will feel right at home in the 2011 Jetta. Even with a starting price of $15,875 the choice of materials feels and looks upmarket.
VW banking on Jetta success Jetta from B6 portant North American launch since the New Beetle in 1998 and is the cornerstone of the German automaker’s strategic plan until 2018. Noticeably larger than the current model, there will be a choice of three engines and a raft of trim
levels. The base 2.0-litre, four-cylinder produces 115 hp and 125 lb/ft of torque with a standard five-speed manual or optional ($1,400) six-speed automatic transmission driving the front wheels. It accelerates from 0-100 km in 10.1 seconds for the manual and 11.3 seconds
for the automatic with a top speed of 195 km/h. Fuel consumption is rated at 9.1/6.0L/100 km city/highway for the manual and 9.6/6.9L/100 km for the automatic. Next up is a 2.5-litre, five-cylinder with 170 hp and 177 lb/ft of torque with the same five-speed manual and the six-speed
automatic and frontwheel-drive. Acceleration times from 0-100 km/h are 8.5 seconds in the manual, 8.8 seconds in the auto and a top speed of 209 km/h. Fuel consumption is rated at 9.9/6.2L/100 km city/highway for the See Jetta B8

‘Gobs’ of features in kitted out Jetta Jetta from B7 manual and 9.1/6.5L/100 km for the automatic. The third engine choice is a 2.0-litre turbo direct injection (TDI) four-cylinder diesel that makes 140 hp and a meaningful 236 lb/ft of torque as low as 1,750 rpm. A six-speed manual is standard with an optional sixspeed automatic but with the lightening-fast shift dual clutch with Tiptronic
paddle shifters. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h, thanks to the torque, is 9.0 seconds in either the manual or automatic. Fuel consumption is rated at 6.7/4.6L/100 km with either transmission. In the real world that means you can go for a drive better than 1,000 km on a single tank. While the Golf and Jetta retain coil springs over MacPherson struts
and stabilizer bars at the front, the Jetta loses the independent rear suspension for a torsion bar at the rear. This is lot cheaper and one of the areas which allowed VW to lower the overall cost of the Jetta. All 2011 Jettas, including the base model, come standard with electronic stability control with traction control, brake assist and antilock brakes. The 2.0-litre and 2.5-litre make do with drum brakes while

the high trim gasoline versions and both diesel models are equipped with rear discs. I mentioned there are several ways to order a Jetta so the best bet is to go to www.Volkswagen. ca for detailed pricing. However, cost of the 2.0-litre starts at $15,875 to $17,275 (that includes air conditioning) and lastly to $19,075 with gobs of features like alloy wheels, cruise and heated front seats and washer nozzles. The 2.5-litre starts at $21,175 to $23,980 for the “Highline” that is loaded with premium sound system, power sunroof and Bluetooth connectivity. The diesel comes in two versions starting off at $23,875 climbing to $26,655 for the Highline. There aren’t a lot of options but one that stands out is the infotainment system with satellite navigation and the simplest to use I’ve yet come across. Viewable in either 2D or bird’s eye view, as you approach the next turn or intersection, it automatically zooms in for a better view, and along with the
voice prompts, makes it nearly impossible to miss your turn. But the really cool part is a projection of the speed limit as an icon. Several times, my usual co-driver and I saw the speed limit change on the monitor and slowed down. And it’s a good thing because the ever-present California Highway Patrol was lurking just inside town limits ready to pounce, but our trusty navi system saved us more than once. VW did not have a diesel or 2.0-litre for testing but there were plenty of 2.5-litre cars available with both transmissions. Like others in the compact segment, the 2011 Jetta is big enough to have been considered a midsize sedan only five years ago. With a wheelbase of 2,651 mm, there is easily room for five adults and their luggage. In fact there were four of us in the car driving to the airport with plenty of legroom fore and aft. We could have put bags for five or six in the 433-litre See Jetta B9

2011 Jetta lowest priced German sedan on Canadian market trunk with room to spare. Even with four up, ride and handling were essentially the same as with two on board. Volkswagen had always got the suspension and steering of their cars right and the 2011 Jetta is no exception. It may have a bargain basement price but it doesn’t drive like tone. Over a variety of roads, including one super ttwisty bit (that gave me a touch of motion sickness such was the road holding) the Jetta felt right and went exactly where you rtold it to go. I rode in the back for the while, and while commodious, the amount of rear seat road rumble was louder on rough stretches rof pavement. It’s sort of like being in a big room with no furniture where sound is magnified. I heard none of this when riding in the front. Even with the drum brakes, stopping was straight and without drama thanks to stability control and ABS. VW is going up against some pretty big fplayers in the compact arena like Honda Civic, Mazda3, Toyota Corolla and Hyundai Elantra just rto name few. At the same time fVW has a lot of equity in the Jetta name. I know rone woman who loves
THE 2011 VW JETTA is bigger in size but also appearance. Part of this is due to the uncluttered lines and lack of brightwork on the exterior.
her model so much, she named her daughter after her car. It’s going to take people a while to get used to the idea, but VW has spent a lot of time looking at North American buying habits and has concluded this is the way to go. More to the point, the 2011 Jetta is now the lowest priced German sedan on the Canadian market and that’s bound to attract a lot of interest.

GLK 350 blends SUV ruggedness with sedan civility Neil Moore CONTRIUBTOR
A “bargain” isn’t how I would typically describe any vehicle with the threepointed star. Posh and purposeful? —positively. Well craft-
ed?— without a doubt. And certainly in many cases a good value. But the MercedesBenz GLK 350 mid-size premium SUV, starting at $42,900, comes in at a price point that had me scratching my head.
It is based on the CClass sedan, but comparing the GLK, which includes M-B’s fourthgeneration 4MATIC permanent all-wheel-drive system, with the C 350 4MATIC sedan, there’s nearly a $7,500 price dif-

M-Benz from B10 fascia, are a nice touch. Standard aluminum roof rails and optional aluminum running boards enhance the GLK’s typical SUV proportions. It lacks the gentle curves and soft profile of its MClass or GL-Class siblings, and instead is more of a nod to the rugged GClass—but in a less military way. The GLK 350 is powered by the same 3.5-litre V6 you’ll find in the CClass, delivering 268 hp and 258 lb/ft of torque, but with a 3,500 pound towing capacity. And it is mated to the 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic, also found in the C-Class. This transmission, with its quick, tightly spaced shifts, provides almost no interruption in power, and when pushed, can skip several gears when downshifting. It will launch from rest to 100 km/h in a posted time of 6.7 seconds, which is not bad for a sports sedan, let alone an SUV. The standard equipped 4MATIC all-wheel drive system surprised me during the GLK launch event in November of 2008. At the time, my test vehicle rwas shod with low-profile street tires on 20inch alloy rims, and was rparked in front of an offroad course that was nearly calf-deep in mud. I was, at the time, skeptical that such a civilized vehicle could make it through the muck, but it did so with confidence, neither hanging up in the wheel-swallowing ruts, nor getting stuck part way uphill. Ground clearance of 200 mm, and short front and rear overhangs allow generous approach and departure angles, and with 4MATIC selectively applying braking and power from wheel to wheel, the GLK kept moving up and over some surprisingly steep terrain. One of the things I like best about driving this vehicle is its sedanlike ride. Sure, the same is said about most of today’s SUVs and crossovers, and to a degree it’s true, but with the GLK, its handling is a cut above most. Much of this can be attributed to M-B’s Agility Control suspension, which can adapt to current driving conditions, providing equal ability, and comfort, both on and off road. For example, during spirited driving or more abrupt maneuvers, the dampers adjust to a firmer setting—flattening out the corners to a point where it
nearly handles like a sport sedan. When driving on rougher roads or going off the grid, the system softens damping to better soak up the bumps. Much of the GLK 350’s driving pleasure, however, comes from within. The interior is typically Mercedes-Benz, with high quality fabrics, plastics and soft-touch materials, along with tightly fitted seams, well-placed instruments and loads of buttons and knobs. My tester came standard with burl walnut wood trim, although you can choose the optional aluminum trim, as was fitted when the vehicle launched. I prefer the wood. Additional standard features include black Artico leather upholstery (which is man-made, but feels like the real thing), 10-way power adjustable and heated front seats, 67/33 split folding rear seats, THERMATIC dual-zone climate control, power and heated folding side mirrors, multi-function leather steering wheel, AM/FM/ MP3/CD sound system with COMAND controller and five-inch monitor (COMAND also controls telephone and vehicle settings), Bluetooth connectivity, tire pressure warning system and heated washer nozzles with rainsensing wipers. My tester had the optional COMAND Navigation Package, which for an extra $1,800 includes hard-disc navigation and six-disc DVD changer, combining nav, audio and phone into a single system. Commands can be done through a rotary knob flanked by two buttons (in front of the centre armrest) or through Linguatronic voice commands. Some of it is intuitive, some not, so I’d recommend a date with the user’s manual rather than trying to figure it out on the fly. This vehicle also came with the $2,000 Premium Package that includes Parktronic parking sensors (beeps as you approach objects), integrated garage door opener, threeposition memory for front seats and steering column, power tilt/telescopic steering wheel, power tailgate and more. On the safety front, all GLK 350s get two-stage driver and front passenger airbags, side and window curtain airbags, brake assist, adaptive brake with hill-start assist, electronic stability program and traction control. The GLK is slight-

Here, you’ll also find tie downs in the cargo floor and seatbacks, and a retractable screen to keep contents out of sight. There’s also a plastic tray beneath the cargo floor for added security. For hauling larger items, drop the split folding seatbacks for a total of 1,550 litres of space. There’s no shortage of competition in this segment, with the Acura RDX coming in just under the GLK’s base price, and the BMW X3 xDrive 3.0i and Land Rover LR2 starting at a few grand above it.

RAV4 or Honda CR-V can reach $40,000 after adding a few options. Still, none of these vehicles wear the iconic Mercedes-Benz star. Not that brand cachet trumps value, but with the GLK you get both pedigree and price and the kind of automobile that should attract new buyers to this luxury marque.

May 16 1916-June 17 2010. Dad passed away peacefully in his sleep aged 94 in Kelowna, British Columbia. Les was predeceased on February 3, 2010 by Helen, his loving wife of 55 years. Les will be greatly missed by his three children; Marie, Carl(Ginny), and Blake(Jo-Anne). Cherished family members are Helens’ sister Jean Montgomery(Stewart) and Brothers-in law Bill Orr and Shelley Donvito. Les was predeceased by his sister Marjorie Donvito and by Helens’ sister Mary Orr. Les was a wise and kind Grampa to William, Jillian, and Spencer Dean as well as Amber Wilson and will also be lovingly remembered by cousins, nieces and nephews. Les was born in Calgary and grew up in Vancouver until settling in the Stettler, Alberta area in his youth. Les worked in a variety of jobs in Northern Alberta until his service with the RCAF in flying control with 6 Group in Britain. Dad spent over 30 years with North Star and then Shell Oil. Les will be forever remembered for his wonderful sense of humor and his love of baseball. Les and Helen had many wonderful trips together, and enjoyed the many happy times with the Montgomery and Orr clans. In latter years, Dad was still able to travel to Seattle to take in a ball game in his beloved “Major Leagues.” Good-bye Dad, we will always miss you. A celebration of Les and Helens lives will be held at St. Michael and All Angels Anglican Cathedral on Saturday, August 28 at 10 am. In lieu of flowers, donations and condolences can be given to the St. Michaels Building Fund c/o Blake Dean, 1265 Mountainview St, Kelowna, BC, VIY 4M9.
