CHARITABLE
By Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
Y
ou may want to call him the adventure-man. Others may call him just crazy. But whatever you call 48-year-old Kelowna resident Mark Jennings-Bates, you have to include charitable. He’s a rally racer, an Ironman, a mountain biker, a rock-climber and a fund-raiser. But come January, Jennings-Bates will embark on his most ambitious project yet as he attempts to enter the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest continuous flight by a powered paraglider. Jennings-Bates and a team that includes his wife Jackie and Vernon paragliding expert Glenn Derouin, will leave for Australia in January where they will attempt to fly more than 8,000 kilometres in a continuous paraglider expedition to set a new world record in an adventure project dubbed The Flight 4 Life. The big question is why? And the answer is charity.

Philanthropy behind Rally4Life adventure from A1 “Yes, it’s a great adventure and yes it’s a potential Guinness World Record if we’re successful,” said Jennings-Bates. “But if we did that and didn’t do anything else, I’d personally find it a little shallow. I’d like to do something that gives back to the world or adds some value to the world.” To do that, JenningsBates and his wife Jackie have formed a charity called the Rally4Life Foundation and set a goal of raising $4 million to save 200,000 lives. Their goals are focused on Third World nations that struggle with finding safe drinking
water, shelter and education. As a non-profit charity, Rally4Life was born out of Mark’s adventurous spirit and Jackie’s philanthropic desires. And it all started with Jennings-Bates adventures in a rally car on the Western Canadian rally car series. After a few years of local racing, JenningsBates teamed up with a British rally team in the hopes of becoming the first Canadian driver to finish the world famous Dakar rally, a grueling 15,000 kilometre road race held annually in South America. “When I started looking at the Dakar rally I
realized most drivers who attempt it end up broke and divorced,” explained Jennings-Bates at a recent kick-off to the world record attempt. “I’m not willing to end up broke and divorced so Jackie and I thought, ‘How do we create a vehicle where we are both rowing the boat in the same direction?’ Jackie had always wanted to do something charitable so we decided to combine the adventure events with philanthropy.” And so Rally4Life was born. The not-forprofit charity currently is helping to support projects in Kenya, Guatemala and Nicaragua. Since its inception,

MARK AND JACKIE JENNINGS-BATES visit children in an impoverished nation. Their charity Rally4Life is hoping to raise $4 million and save 200,000 lives. Jackie says her eyes have been opened to the sheer scope of some of the problems faced by residents around the world. “You are up against huge numbers of people dying and just terrible, terrible conditions,” she said. “But you also feel you are struggling against inefficient governments and a lack of coordinated effort. “You have warlords and terrorists and drought conditions. There is such a huge vastness of problems.” The Jennings-Bates and Rally4Life have turned to social media as a way to raise what at first glance seems a staggering goal of $4 million. They have held numerous events around the Kelowna area to raise awareness and to try and create a following. Finance from

really took off when Jennings-Bates teamed up with Mick Extance, Britain’s top rally car racer and a veteran of the Dakar rally. Jennings-Bates agreed to join Extance’s team, and drive in the Dakar, raising awareness for Rally4Life in the process. But being with Extance’s team meant Jennings-Bates wasn’t in control of when the duo would enter the Dakar. After several delays Jennings-Bates decided he needed another project to breathe life into their charity. “We are going to race the Dakar, we just don’t know which one,” said Jennings-Bates. “That’s in the hands of the Dakar team.

The Dakar Rally and the Flight 4 Life world record attempt, are ways to generate more interest and more followers on Facebook and Twitter.

VAPOUR TRAILS from aircraft ciss-crossing the Kelowna sky has raised concerns for at least one Kelowna resident that he says nobody is willing to answer.
Vapour trails have Kelowna man seeing a conspiracy On Thursday morning, Sebastien Latour looked up to the Kelowna skyline and didn’t see a cloud in sight. “The sky was clear as a bell,” Latour said. But by 11:50 that morning, the Black Mountain resident had made calls to the Kelowna airport, federal offices that deal with dangerous goods and NAV Canada to find out why there had already been 42 high-altitude flights over the Central Okanagan within a few hours. The once clear blue sky was almost entirely covered with a thin
screen of clouds from vapour trails that would not dissipate. The white traces spread across the autumn sky like milk over linoleum. “I’ve been trying to find out for years what’s going on and I keep getting shoved into corners,” Latour said. He suspects the flights are military planes spreading a chemical cocktail into the atmosphere. And he thinks it has something to do with global climate change. Latour has studied a documentary that can be found on YouTube called
What In the World Are they Spraying? It suggests the flights are used to control weather, spreading chemicalladen ‘chemtrails.’ The idea is that the U.S. is spreading the cloud-creating chemicals to deflect the sun’s rays. The film documents people who say it’s an aerosol spray of very fine pieces of aluminum, and perhaps other chemicals like barium and strontium being sprayed into the atmosphere. Governments call those who ask questions conspiracy theorists.

Couple hopes event will shift fundraising efforts into high gear Adventure from A3 “There are a lot people in less developed countries that are desperate for clean water and to have proper schools and clothing and electricity. At some point in your life you realize you want to give something back.” Derouin will be first to depart for Australia in the new year, heading down under to begin preparations and to test conditions. Powered paragliders can fly up to 40 km/h but heavy winds can play havoc. The team will fly twice a day for up to 90 days in a row, stopping every three to four hours for fuel with up to eight hours per day in the air. The expedition can’t have any lengthy delays to be considered a continuous expedition by Guinness. Derouin and Jennings-Bates will both fly separate para-gliders, units that are powered by a 200 cc motor that turns a propeller and generates lift. Derouin says powered paragliding is the fastest growing aviation sport in the world because you can take off and land from virtually anywhere with your legs used as the landing gear. Still, flying one of the units every day
for three months in Australia is cause for some concern. “It’s going to be a challenge,” said Derouin. “The heat, the wind, the dirt and the dust. It’s not super physical but you are flying with your hands up in the air and landing and taking off every three hours. It will be quite taxing.” The Flight 4 Life has already drawn plenty of attention. In Australia, Jennings-Bates has been asked to join the Friends of Australia, a group of about 80 influential folks asked by Tourism Australia to promote the area. He is also in discussions with a production company to film the Flight 4 Life project for a television program. Whatever takes place and however the world record attempt goes, the Jennings-Bates are hopeful it kicks their charity into high gear. “We just need to keep going and do everything we can to keep moving towards the goal of saving lives,” said Jackie. “We try to keep it simple, keep it small. If you just focus on what you can do, on one project at a time, then you can make a difference.” You can find out more online at www.rally4life.org and at www. markjenningsbates.com. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

COs find elk shot illegally Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Conservation officers are asking for help from the public with information about the shooting of an elk in Okanagan Mountain Park at the opening of hunting season. Open season for elk with a minimum of six points on an antler opened Sept. 10 in this area. However, a five-point bull elk was shot about 9 that morning, according to people in the area at the time. Three shots were heard and the dead animal was discovered left behind by the shooter. Seitz says he is hoping whoever shot the elk will turn themselves in before the investigation gets well underway. “If this was you, this is your opportunity to come forward. If you don’t it
will be viewed differently,” he said. “An ethical hunter would have turned himself in if he made such a mistake. We would be more lenient than we will be if we have to investigate.” Under the Wildlife Act, there’s provision for a fine of up to $50,000 and/or six months in jail. The person could be charged with hunting during a closed season, failure to report the shooting and leaving the edible portion behind. There were a number of people in the area at the time, said Seitz, so he is hopeful one of them saw something which could be helpful and will come forward with some information.

A 38-year-old West Kelowna man was arrested, on outstanding warrants out of Penticton, for charges of sexual assault and sexual interference against two male youth. Investigators believe that there may be other victims in the Okanagan. Robert John Graham appeared Wednesday in Kelowna Provincial Court on two charges of sexual assault and three charges of sexual interference. He was released on bail with strict conditions that included no contact with anyone under the age of 18 who is unaccompanied by an adult.

NEWS â–ź SNELSON TRIAL
Rebuttal witness counters aspect of earlier testimony Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
In a surprise twist at Neil Snelson’s murder trial, a last-minute witness was called to the stand to cast doubt over key testimony about the events of Oct. 16, 1993. Acting as a rebuttal witness to the defence, which wrapped up its case Thursday morning, Teresa Tatarin spoke about her connection to Snelson and, more specifically, his possession of her accessories. “Is there any way you left a belt with Neil Snelson a week or two before the party,� Crown counsel Dione Pizzey, asked Tatarin. “No,� she replied. “Have you ever had
a conversation with Mr. Snelson about a belt,� Pizzey asked. “No,� she said. He never returned a belt to her, Tatarin testified, as she wasn’t keen on them anyway. “I don’t wear belts,� she said. “I don’t like them.� More importantly, she couldn’t have left one with Snelson in the weeks before the party, as she was living and working in the Lower Mainland in 1993. Although the return of a belt may seem like a benign element of a complicated case, news of its presence sparked Corp. Bill Parmar and now retired staff sergeant Dean Filipchuk’s attention when they first spoke to Snelson in 2009.
Filipchuk, at that time, had asked Snelson if there was any reason his DNA would be at the crime scene, and he said, “No, no, I don’t think so� With more prodding, he spoke about two hookups—one that stopped at kissing, the other sex— and how he’d returned a belt to a friend in the early hours of Oct. 16, 1993. It’s the same story he repeated when he took the stand in his own defence Wednesday. A belt, it turned out, was found near Cusworth’s body Oct. 17, 1993. Crown counsel Iain Currie contended during his cross-examination of Snelson on Wednesday, that it was mentioned as a way to cover off loose
ends and explain away potential evidence against him. “You took the belt and threw it out your passenger side window after you killed Jennifer Cusworth,â€? suggested Currie on Wednesday, indicating that there was no way for Snelson to know that his DNA wasn’t on the belt. “You always knew the DNA was inside Jennifer Cusworth. You lied, you said you had sex at the party. You lied throughout your statement to Filipchuk and Parmar‌when

that initially affected his eyesight. The surgeries went well and after his recovery, Connor left Kelowna for California on Wednesday for the first meeting with doctors at the California hospital. This weekend, a group of his friends will hold a fundraising auction on Saturday at Kerry Park to raise money to help him with his expenses. The auction will feature local celebrity auctioneers selling donated photographs, some framed and some mounted on display boards, as well as a piece of aboriginal abstract art. The donated pictures have come from photographers from as far away as Victoria, Salmon Arm, Fort St. John and Vernon, as well his colleagues here in the Kelowna area, said organizer Don Sipos. Both the Capital News and the Daily Courier have contributed photographs for the auction. Sipos said there will be 25 pictures up for grabs, with the five or six framed ones starting at $100 each and the remaining unframed pictures starting at $50 each. Included in the list of celebrity auctioneers will be former CHBC reporter and community activist Mohini Singh and Kelowna Mayor Sharon Shepherd. Sipos, who met Connor 10 years ago when they both worked as photographers in Edmonton, said when he put out the word that his friend needed help, there was no shortage of offers to help and donations. “The response has been great,� said Sipos.

Uniting employers and workers T here was a time, about a year ago, when many people I knew were unemployed. Since then, some have found jobs, a few have become self-employed and others went back to school. But there are still some out there whose frustration builds as their joblessness persists. They had hoped to be working by now. Being unemployed isn’t easy. Not knowing what you’re going to do when your unemployment benefits run out is even worse. And sitting at home hearing about the magnitude of global employment doesn’t make it any better. According to some estimates there are 44 million unemployed people in the so-called western countries. These would be those nations considered affluent such as Canada, the United States and Western Europe. This 44 million is about equal to the population of Spain, which has one of the highest unemployment rates, sitting at 21 per cent. Of this 44 million, 14 million make up the North American unemployed population. This number is about equal to the population of Texas. On an individual level, some countries are doing much better than others. Canada, for example, is reporting 7.3 per cent currently—in July the unemployment rate was 6.2 per cent. This change can be attributed to employment status of many young adults as they moved from the labour market to either college or university. Other countries with low rates in July of this
SCHOOL’S IN
Jane Muskens year were Germany at 6.6 per cent, Japan 4.4 per cent, the Netherlands at 4.4 per cent and Australia at 5.1 per cent. Countries with higher rates were the United States, Spain, France, Italy, Portugal and Greece. What’s interesting about this unemployment is that those with higher rates, (such as the United States at 9.1 per cent) are finding that there are now many individuals who have been unemployed for at least 40 weeks. This is different from 2007 when the average was 17 weeks. This kind of chronic unemployment comes with a series of other associated risks where ultimately workers no longer have the skills, motivation or even the desire to continue to look for work. Some lose a tremendous amount of self-esteem where they consider themselves unemployable because they lack the confidence to re-enter the work force. This type of condition is extremely unfortunate when it plagues young adults who have not had the opportunity to work for a considerable amount of time and are already struggling with transitioning into employment. So how do governments get people back to work? Governments can only throw so much stimulus money into the economy to create jobs especially in areas where new
technology and globalization has reduced the demand for an unskilled labour force. This is especially true in Canada. Workers today need to be prepared to meet the demands of Canadian employers. These demands include more education, training and job skills that give workers something to offer. Those who look after our colleges and universities need to ensure that programming meets the needs of employers who will find job-ready students upon graduation.
Governments need to look into their own labour policies and find ways job sharing, onsite training opportunities, and other programs—to help workers either stay in or re-enter the workforce. Education, training, reskilling and innovative programs are the means to ensure we bring together two groups who need to be united: Those who need workers and those looking for work.

Even the Pope can change his mind To the editor: What’s life all about? I have to wonder when even physicists like the late John Wheeler can say: “We do not know the first thing about the universe, about ourselves, and about our place in the universe.” But some people seem to know it all, like Christopher Hitchens, author of God is not Great, and Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion, who most likely spawned the new militant atheist movement, with their simplistic statement: “There is probably no God, now relax and enjoy yourself.” The Amazing James Randi, debunker of frauds, is a little more modest and claims to be “an atheist of the second kind,” or, open-minded. As of this year, Pope Benedict now embraces the Big Bang as God’s plan. Stephen Hawking, however, claims that the universe can create itself out of nothing and needs no Creator.

Sadly, while I could spend hours coming up with doomsday scenarios to tickle my morbid imagination, I honestly believe that they’re just that— doomsday scenarios.

For many of us, it’s an economic challenge, but so is living in a metropolitan hub. Only we choose here so we can walk and bike to the lake, not drive two hours. Going to concerts and shows isn’t as easily accessible as it is in city life, but the cultural sector is starting to flex its muscles and more is starting to hap-

And, when it comes to wondering if there is a growing population of visible minorities, I have to recommend that those who live in their research take a step back and head to the city’s downtown for a day of people watching. There are visible minorities in far greater numbers than ever before. They’re young, professional looking and walk around with purpose. My guess is they’re at one of the educational facilities we have in the Valley, and even if they leave upon graduation, will they forget this place? Doubtful, for the simple fact that there’s an intangible draw to the Okanagan that confounds reason, research and, clearly, outdated statistics.

Welcome!
Consider carefully before running for office To the editor: Municipal elections will be held in just a few weeks. As always, we need to elect the best people possible to direct the government which is our public business and often the largest business in town. Many people think about running for public office. A few do. Following are some criteria you should consider as you decide whether to throw your hat in the ring. Voters will use these same criteria to evaluate you, so be prepared. These criteria include eight reasons you should not run, five reasons possibly supporting you running and three things you should do after you step forward. These criteria are broken down into five categories. Fame If you are running to have your name in lights, don’t. Politics is not therapy for a damaged ego. If you want to be liked by everyone, don’t run. We need people who have the guts to make tough decisions in the face of adversity knowing that you cannot please all of the people all of the time.
If you have to ask for respect, don’t run. You should already command it. Fortune If you are running because you need the money, don’t. We do not want elected officials beholden firstly to their pay cheque. The Ride If you are running because you like to cut ribbons, don’t. We already have too many glad handers in politics. If you have already held the position for two terms, don’t run. You have had your turn to make a difference. Step aside and allow and encourage new energy to flow in. Do not be a road block. After two terms in any elected position either move up or out. Do not run to take someone else out. Run for something, not against someone. We already have too much negativity in politics. If you believe that the bureaucrats should set policy, do not run. You do not understand the system. Make a difference If you truly want to make a difference in community and you qualify for the job, then please run. Politicians are responsible for deciding
how the people’s business will be operated. It is usually the biggest business in town as it taxes and spends and sets the rules of conduct for individuals and other businesses alike. Can you accept responsibility for making decisions without full information when there may be no ‘right’ answer? Do you qualify to be a cabinet minister? On city council everyone is a cabinet minister. Would we put you in charge of a multi-million/multi-billion dollar organization trusting you to make wise decisions? We do not want rookies making avoidable and often long-term mistakes on our dollar. We need people with a track record of success. Do you inspire people? After you step forward Tell us what you believe the city should look like when it is all grown up. You only get to build a city once. Saying that you want more bike paths is not a vision. Tell us what your action plan would be with a time schedule. Be willing to be held accountable. Remember, when you assume a position of public trust you become public property.

Some people need to find alternative health care To the editor: My personal experience with pharmaceutical medications is what led me into seven years of formal study of classical homeopathy. I have used it effectively to treat my own acute and chronic conditions for years bercause my body can’t tolerate antibiotics, analt t
gesics, anti-inflammatories or the ‘flu’ shot. I also take vitamin C during the fall and winter months along with garlic and vitamin D because it works for me. “By our insistence that the scientific method is the only means by which anything can be known, doors of perception are closed…”
(Jean Shinoda Bolen, MD 2004) I encourage you to continue publishing articles from the Okanagan Naturopathic Healthcare newsletter in future because I know I’m not the only one seeking alternatives to allopathic medicine. Ellen Mitchell, Kelowna
Open-minded thinkers must create new vision God Question from A10
The following web site is an opinion from 2010, written before Pope Benedict declared his new belief: http://salem-news.com/articles/december132010/spontaneous-creationgo.php What can the average person believe when confronted with such diverse opinions? Have Hitchens and Dawkins thrown the baby out with the bathwater, as they dealt only with man-made beliefs that served the self-appointed elite, for people control, until this day? OK, here are some real questions and scientific facts. The first and most amazing thing that took place at the Big Bang, was the creation of all the atoms of the universe, which are actually perpetuum mobiles or, perpetual motion machines with their spinning electron(s). A fact that has never been acknowledged and never been duplicated by any human being. We know that a gold atom has 79 electrons in six different, precise orbits. But where, or
what, is the source of this fantastic phenomenon that makes the electron(s) spin around the nucleus with about a hundred million-billion circuits every second and makes matter real to us time-space creatures, without which nothing would exist? The tiniest computer chip is made of gazillions of different elemental atoms. Imagine if, hypothetically, all the air and space were taken out of our body, and all atomic matter were condensed into a ball, there would be no matter left of us to look at. Not until today, with all the scientific tools at our disposal (see Salem-News), can we begin to understand what Albert Einstein and the late Max Plank (physicist) said some time ago: “There is no matter as such. All matter exists only by virtue of force. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind.” Could we be, or are we, ‘potential’ mindsubstance beings, since the I-me-you-mind is intangible and invisible as is the source and cause of everything?
Something must be done about cats To the editor: In response to C. Permann’s Sept. 27th letter regarding cats in her yard. I am with you. There are so many cats in my neighbourhood that come through my yard and use it as their public washroom. Worst thing is the owners don’t
seem to even care. Why should they? The cats aren’t crapping in their yards if they’re crapping in ours. Why can’t we have a cat catcher or make people licence their cats just like we do dogs? You are right, something has to be done. R. Piche, West Kelowna
Grateful for found wallet To the editor: To the person who found and returned my wallet last week at the gas
station. I very much appreciate it and would like to thank you personally. I
can be reached at 250-861-3777. Morris, Kelowna
We live in, and are surrounded by, countless-fantastic-natural-phenomenon. Would any person or scientist believe in the metamorphosis of the butterfly if it weren’t an established fact? Not in a million years. Why then, are we forced and encouraged to spend our short life as money-making and hoarding-machines and other trivial pursuits that are designed by those who I called previously the self-appointed elite? I’m ashamed to witness the daily lies, deceptions and stupidities in politics and business, and the daily slaughter of innocent human beings in all the men-made wars by pilots and drones, who sit safely in cockpits, cowardly half a world away. Humanity needs a new vision: It has to be created by open-minded thinkers, not believers. When our name appears in the obituaries, it’s too late. Gunther Ostermann, Kelowna

Sandhill tops wine fest medal count Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Most wineries don’t make as many wines as Kelowna’s Sandhill won awards for in this year’s judging competition that kicked off the 31st Fall Okanagan Wine Festival, Thursday night. Winemaker Howard Soon’s line of single vine-
yard wines came away with three gold medals, nine silver medals and five bronze, more than any other winery competing this year. Sandhill Wines is owned by Peller Estates, which also owns Calona Vineyards and Red Rooster Winery in Naramata. Soon oversees winemaking for Peller Estates,
although other winemakers are responsible for all but the Sandhill line. Eight medals were picked up for Peller Estates wines, while two Calona Vineyards wines won awards and Red Rooster received six. The international roster of nine professional judges who swirled, sniffed, sipped and spit

NEWS ▼ SALMON
Remember…sockeye returning home need water too Gwen Bridge CONTRIBUTOR
The return of sockeye to the Okanagan River system this year is something for everyone to celebrate. Not since the 1950s have we seen this type of return, and the future looks even better. However, it’s also a reminder that we must all do our part to keep the waters clean and plentiful enough for the fish. Before there were Okanagan people here there were salmon—chinook, coho, chum, steelhead and sockeye. Today, those salmon are either completely gone or found in very low numbers. The annual return of Okanagan adult sockeye has been as low as 2,048 (recorded in 1998). This is mostly the result of human activities in and around water— as homes and docks built up along the banks of the Okanagan, with the channeling of Okanagan River in response to flooding, and the construction of dams on the Columbia River (the Okanagan River flows into the Columbia). All of these changes have made it hard for the salmon to return from their passage to the ocean. However, since 2000 the Okanagan Nation Alliance Fisheries Departmen has been working hard to bring the salmon back. In the past two years, the ONAFD has recorded between 80,000 and 120,000 spawners (2010). Projects that have contributed to this success include the reintroduction of sockeye into Skaha Lake, the alteration of the gates at McInytre Dam to make salmon passage possible, and the Okanagan River Restoration Initiative (returning parts of the Okanagan River to its natural state, making salmon migration easier). While there is much to celebrate with this year’s amazing sockeye run, it is important to remember that clean water is absolutely necessary for healthy fish, especially

ONA FISHERIES DEPARTMENT/CONTRIBUTOR
STAFF WITH Okanagan Nation Alliance’s fisheries department collect mature salmon from Okanagan River for breeding. baby salmon. It is important we all make an effort to keep our water clean and healthy. Here are a few tips to keep our water clean and
plentiful for fish: • Conserve water in your home and outdoors. Low water levels in spawning channels create warmer water which
stresses the fish. • Remember that water that enters storm drains flows directly into creeks, rivers and lakes, carrying with it chemicals from our yards, driveways, streets, and parking lots. This damages the health of these waters and the creatures that call them home. • If you need to wash your vehicle, take it to a car wash that recycles its water and treats it before it’s returned to the environment. • If you must give the car a quick wash at home, use a trigger nozzle to prevent water from being wasted, and wash the car over grass. The lawn will act as a natural filter that removes many of the chemicals before the water makes its way back to our lakes and streams. • Medications and chemicals should not be flushed down the toilet or washed down the drain. Instead, take unused medications to any pharmacy, and take paints and other chemicals to appropriate disposal locations. Check out the waste reduction department of your regional district for more information on hazardous waste disposal in your area. • When enjoying the outdoors, stick to maintained trails. The same

Disposable cameras to tell indispensable homeless stories Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Twelve clients of Kelowna Gospel Mission’s 30K Club were given a tool to link themselves to the rest of the community on Thursday. The Gorman Brothers Doors of Hope campaign gave disposable cameras to the 12 individuals to photograph life from their perspective. “It’s our hope that with this whole process, we as the general public, will gain a little more compassion and a little more information of what life looks like,” said Jessica Samuels, 30K Club co-
ordinator. The 12 participants have until Tuesday, Oct. 11 to submit their shots. The best shot from each person will be used in a calendar, which will be available by mid-November. “We gave them a long time because we wanted (the deadline) to be just past Thanksgiving. We thought during Thanksgiving there might be some photo opportunities for them,” said Samuels. Some of the volunteer photographers instantly went outside and started snapping photographs. Others didn’t take their camera out of the pack-
aging; rather, began planning where they would focus their lens for 30 pictures. John Jack, also known as Johnny Five, is one of the 12 participants taking photos. He said that he has already begun brainstorming where he wants to shoot. “I want to go down the road to the Friendship Centre. Every Saturday they have free breakfasts. Every day they have free coffee at 9:30 a.m. A lot of people who have come here (also) go there. I want to get a picture of that building,” said Jack. Jack said he will also get photographs of the
beach area because a lot of people from Gospel Mission go there to hang out. According to Jack, the Gospel Mission was hugely helpful when he was going through some tough times. “I was homeless for about two months. For the first month and a half I was tenting in an orchard, but I didn’t like that situation. So I was homeless for two weeks downtown. “They kept me fed when I was homeless.” Jack said that his aim is to dispel any negative rumours about the Kelowna Gospel Mission. “I’ve been living here

Clay pot advocate trumpets the value of good earth Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Brian Wiebe calls his latest vocation his clay epic, although the term hardly covers the all-consuming passion that’s taken over his Glenmore home. On his walls is a mixture of homemade yogurt—the German kind known as Kefir—a fermented fruit paste and clay dug out of veins in the family orchard. It melds together to form a solid wall covering, much like greenware pottery or, for those who spend a good deal of time in Glenmore, the clay muck strangling the carrots and creating a mess on the driveway. “It’s almost like a living breathing membrane in your house that’s modulating all the time. So I found that incredibly cool,” explains Wiebe. “It’s like a natural heat exchange where it’s always absorbing heat and always releasing it.” Those who believe in using clay, rather than paint, on one’s walls say the earthen substance releases positive ions into the air and that the fermented mixture of fruit or wine can be used to create a mood in the room. Wiebe can’t say whether this is true or not—though he is very

GLENMORE clay pottery Brian Wiebe says he feels a calling towards the art form that he has chosen to pursue. sold on the final product. The clay walls aren’t the half of what’s going on in this house, however. The audio engineer’s basement is also filled, wall to wall, with ancientstyle pottery he’s made from that same clay he dug out of the backyard. “It’s about cradling the Okanagan nectar in the very ground that gave it life,” said Wiebe. “There’s something about that I find charming.” Charming and a little overwhelming at the moment. In preparation for the upcoming Candesca concert at the Kelowna Community Theatre on Oct. 8, Wiebe has produced some 150 pots to
be displayed on the stage and sold in the foyer. Whether one uses his tall pots for wine or water or simply to display, he says his art has little to do with those who will buy it, it’s more like a calling. Still, he’s looking forward to finding out whether others share his passion. “It’s kind of a clay quest,” he said. “I’ve always been an ancient stuff kind of guy. I was probably born 3,500 years too late and that’s why I’m drawn to this kind of thing now—or ruined by it, whatever you want to say.” By and large, most potters aren’t that keen on
using clay unearthed in the backyard and Wiebe has plenty of examples of why. The organic matter, or dirt, that might be mixed in will crack when the product finally makes it to the kiln and, unfortunately, the artist doesn’t know about the fatal flaws until the firing is complete and the giant oven opens to reveal what’s survived. Wiebe has had a few horrifying surprises. His first ventures were downright traumatic from his description; even getting to the kiln stage was difficult. “Nobody does old, tall jars and then I realized why—‘cause they’re real-

Chute Lake wetland ATVers fined Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Two young Kelowna-area men were fined Sept. 11 after they were discovered driving all-terrain vehicles through a wetland in the Chute Lake area. Each was fined $575 under the
Forest and Range Practices Act for damaging the environment. Conservation Officer Ed Seitz said they were doing a routine patrol in the area when they saw the pair and, although they fled, they were found at their camp at Chute Lake. “We don’t need that kind of activity in sensitive natural areas
around here,” said Seitz. New legislation against what is called ‘mud-bogging’ and other activities that tear up the natural environment was enacted by the province of B.C. in 2007 with the intent of providing tools for authorities to crack down on such activities. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

ly hard to pull,” he said. “It takes a tremendous amount of strength and you really have to know how to use your body intelligently.” Wiebe has a masters degree in ancient languages. His pottery guru is an ancient history instructor named Ken Guenter, who can spend an evening throwing plates and walk away with a complete set. He’s the one who told the aspiring artist he needed to start with plates and mugs, like any other potter. It took five years before he could pursue his true passion and it wasn’t exactly smooth sailing. Armed with a handful of brilliant YouTube videos and an apparently unending amount of pa-
tience, Wiebe set to work learning his craft and said that in some ways, the dreaded cracks became pleasant quirks when the jug is held. “You can do everything right and there’s still a surprise waiting for you eventually,” he said. “It’s like learning golf or something. I mean you have your gleaming moments, but at some point you have to modulate your expectations knowing that there is way more to it than it looks.” Wiebe experiments with the ancient Hebrew Cuneiform language he studied in school on the sides of his pots, replicating the artifacts he spent more than two years unearthing on archeology digs.
Without millions of dollars or a black market source, this is his best attempt at celebrating those time periods and the civilizations he’s dedicated his life to learning about. “I knew I was going to be trying to celebrate these forms of life and have them around me. When you live those kinds of dreams—the ancient Mesopotamia, the Bronze Age, those sorts of things—you’re somewhat ruined for life,” he said. To see Wiebe’s beloved pots check out his web site at www.digitalsynapses.ca. The pots will be sold in the Kelowna Community Theatre at Candesca’s upcoming concert Oct. 8, 7 p.m. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

hether agriculture, asphalt or homes for people are to blame, there has been an 88 per cent loss in wetlands in the Okanagan Valley and they continue to be degraded and filled in. Yet, not only are they among the richest and most productive lands for animals, they also regulate flows of waterways, detain and store water and filter it. Without wetlands,
TRAIL MIX
Judie Steeves runoff flows untreated into waterways and larger bodies of water, carrying contaminants and silt with it that harm natural habitat. At last week’s fas-
cinating Osoyoos Lake Water Science Forum, a fisheries biologist who owns Wetlands Pacific Corporation, Kurt Kerns, talked about the value and function of natural and constructed wetlands. His B.C. company has designed a constructed wetland called the Vegetative Tertiary Filter, which has been winning awards for innovative environmental technology and he is passionate about the importance of wetlands
and about what they can accomplish in filtering wastewater. He began by talking about how wetlands once were associated with most water bodies in North America, in part because beavers dammed waterways to form ponds, which evolved into wetlands. However, farmers came along, drained the wetlands, and diked the waterways, and turned them into farmland.

Wherever a little wetland remained, we’ve been filling them in and either paving them or building on them. Yet, wetlands remove and detoxify substances, whether they are natural or constructed wetlands, he explained. They are nutrient and carbon sinks and they sequester heavy metals as well as other toxic substances. They slow the release of water from storm events and they recharge aquifers. At the same time they provide valuable habitat for wildlife and they add value to human lives with green and colourful growth. His list for the ways they remove contaminants is long and pretty amazing, but it includes by sedimentation, filtration, microbial decomposition, precipitation, chemical binding, re-oxygenation through photosynthesis and gaseous exchange with the atmosphere, microbial degradation as wetlands provide vast submerged surfaces for attachment, sunlight and alternating oxic and anoxic zones with differing microbial communities and metabolic pathways. Now, I must confess I don’t understand all of that, but most of it makes sense and I’m impressed by the rest. They can even remove pharmaceuticals such as endocrine disruptors like estrogenic compounds. Kurt says constructed wetlands can be used to
treat stormwater, municipal wastewater, landfill leachate, agricultural runoff, acid mine drainage and industrial and commercial wastewater. Constructed wetlands can be built in a number of different models, including free water surface, vegetated submerged bed, lineal, stormwater, capillary and treatment wetlands. Some, he told forum delegates, can even turn ugly industrial areas into delightful, soul-satisfying habitat for birds and other creatures who rely on the rich interface areas between different ecosystems. He says only three per cent of a city’s land area is needed for wetlands, and the cost of treating wastewater using constructed wetlands is 10 per cent that of a high-tech plant. Hmmm…interesting, eh? And, speaking of picture perfect, natural solutions to ugly problems, the Central Okanagan Naturalists’ Club is holding a photography workshop with Les Gyug, a naturalist and biologist who is also a photographer.

Hockey League with a new coach and a new crop of exciting young players. New head coach Rylan Ferster will unveil the 2011-12 Warriors team tonight as the Warriors to host the rival Vernon h Vipers. V FFerster replaced the departed rted Darren Yopyk to become the third d head coach in Warriors history. But it’s clear that the work ethic the Warriors have become known for is something that won’t change under Ferster. “We’re going to have a really good work ethic and play good defensively,” said Ferster, who in the past enjoyed head coaching stints in Salmon Arm and in Victoria. “Our work ethic has been outstanding so far. I think that’s going to be the cornerstone of how we play this sseason.” The 2011-12 Warriors feature 10 players returning from last season’s club, including 20-year-old defenceman Izaak Berglund, who Ferster named captain this season. Returning players Max French and Shawn Hochhausen as well as 20-year-old newcomer Richard Vanderhoek round out the leadership group and will wear the A as assistant captains. The Warriors head into the season in the always competitive BCHL Interior which changed ed this year with the relocation of Quesnel to Chilliwack. Vernon, Salmon Arm, Penticton, Prince George, Merritt and Trail round out the division with only the top four teams making it to the playoffs. It promises to be another entertaining year of hockey at Royal LePage Place as the look l h Warriors i l k to take another step forward in their progression to one of the top teams in the BCHL. Have a look inside to meet the 2011-12 Westside Warriors.

Mission Creek spawning channel trail closed due to bear sightings A section of the trail around the spawning channel in Mission Creek Regional Park has been temporarily closed. Bears have returned to this area of the channel from the Interpretive Fish kiosk and bridge—adjacent to the kokanee bridge near the Environmental Education Centre for the Okanagan—to the bridge crossing the channel approximately half a kilometer upstream. The Loop Trail along the east side of the spawning channel is closed until further notice due to the presence of the bears. For their safety, park visitors are asked to stay out of signed closed area or they may be ticketed. During this temporary closure, kokanee interpretive programs will be moved to other locations for the safety of park visitors and so as not to interfere with the bears. “This is not unusual at this time of year to see a return of bears to many of our regional parks, since they are natural corridors to the higher elevation habitat,” said Bruce Smith, spokesman for the Central Okanagan Regional District. “And with kokanee returning to area creeks and fruit crops ripening in valley orchards, both plentiful sources of food, bear sightings always increase. “When we start getting sightings and staff sees evidence of bears in our parks and along trails, we post signs advising all park users of recent bear activity.” To reduce your chance of encountering a bear while hiking, it’s recommended that you travel in a group, make noise or carry something that makes noise to alert any wildlife in advance to your presence. “Be aware that bears fishing for food in area creeks may not hear you over the noise of the rushing water. If you see a bear, give it plenty of space and stay well away from it,” he said. Bears can be aggressive, especially when defending their food or their cubs. Bears also have excellent senses of smell and hearing, and better sight than you might believe. For their safety, dog owners are reminded when in regional parks that their pets must be leashed and kept on trails at all times. As well, residents are reminded to keep any garbage securely stored on their property and please
don’t put out your garbage
cart until the morning of
your regular curbside col-
lection. That way you’re
not tempting bears or oth-
er wildlife.

cle published by Megan Brooks. During the course of this very lengthy study, Dr. Pougnet and her researchers found that children whose fathers were present and involved in the day-to-day activities of their children during middle childhood had fewer behavioural problems and higher intellectual abilities as they grew, regardless of socio-economic status. She stated that: “Regardless of whether fathers lived with their children, their ability to set appropriate limits and structure their children’s behaviour, positively influenced problem-solving and decreased emotional problems, such as sadness, social withdrawal and anxiety.” Dr. Pougnet examined the association between the father’s presence and availability in the home, and the children’s subsequent cognitive and behavioural functioning. The children in the study completed a questionnaire between the ages of 3 and 5, and again, between the ages of 9 and 13. Subsequently, their parents completed questionnaires regarding home life, parenting and couple conflict. Further information was also gathered by the children’s school teachers regarding behaviour in school. The study demonstrated a strong need for fathers involvement in their children’s development and well-being, especially true for girls. Fathers that demonstrated a strong presence during the middle childhood off their daughters demonstrated a much lower tendency to internalize problems in preadolescence. “Girls whose fathers lived with them when they were in the middle childhood (ages 6 to 10) demonstrated less sadness, worry and shyness at school as preteens (ages 9 to 13) compared with girls who fathers did not live with them. The same was not true for boys,” said Pougnet.

ASK DR.THIEL
Markus Thiel They found that a fathers positive parental control resulted in higher performance IQ scores and fewer internalizing problems more than six years later. The study also demonstrated that fathers with more negative parenting styles during the children’s younger years and who were absent when their children were between 6 to 10 years of age, had children with more internalizing problems at ages 9 to 13. However, she was careful to say that a father’s absence from the home does not necessarily mean that he’s absent from his children’s lives and can still have a positive outcome. She made the following comment: “There are countless other things that factor into child development, notably mothers, who have been shown in a huge amount of research to have a very important influence on their children. “The more that both parents can show parenting skills, such as setting up consistent expectations for their children’s behaviour, appropriate limit setting, and the effective use of rewards and consequences to structure and guide their child’s behaviour, the better for the child’s intellectual and emotional development.” If you’re a father of young children, be careful not to invalidate your role when it comes to considering the ripple effect of your day-to-day activities with your children.

Carter finds gridiron home with Ti-Cats Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Matt Carter played just one season of high school football with the Mt. Boucherie Bears. A year later, in his first game of junior football with the Okanagan Sun in 2004, he made one catch for eight yards before a broken pelvis ended his season. Not the kind of football resumé you would typically expect to lead to a Canadian Football League career. One of the exceptions to the rule, Carter is now thriving in the pro game as a starting receiver for the Hamilton Tiger Cats. In his second full season in the CFL, the 25-year-old from West Kelowna has made 20 catches for 209 yards in 12 games for the ‘Cats. He also sees full-time duty on special teams. As Hamilton’s fifth, wide-outside receiver and the furthest player from the quarterback, Carter sees less of the football than the club’s other passcatchers. However, it doesn’t mean he can’t play an equally important role in the success of the offense. “I don’t see the ball as much, but I’m still getting my touches,” said Carter.
Rockets host rival Giants in home opener
“When they do come my way, I’ve got to be ready and make the most of my chances. Because I don’t see a ton of balls, a lot of times downfield I’m making blocks, so I’m trying to become a better blocker. I try to do the best job I can, whatever my responsibilities are.” Ti-Cats offensive coordinator Khari Jones sees Carter as extremely coachable and reliable, and expects the 6-foot-1 200-pound receiver to just get better with experience. “Matt’s been doing a great job for us, I trust him, and that’s a big thing for an offensive coordinator to have in his players,” said Jones. “He’s in the right place at the right time and makes the plays when he has to. He’s very fast, he runs his routes well, he’s just solid all the way around for us. We can move him around, he can fill a lot of different spots. All he needs is experience and he’s getting more of that everyday.” Carter’s development into a bona fide pro prospect didn’t really begin until 2005 when he joined the Acadia University Axemen program in Wolfville, N.S. In just his second game with the Axemen, he worked his way into a starting position, one he
held on to for the next four years until he graduated with a degree in kinesiology in 2008. So impressed were the B.C. Lions by Carter’s football potential, they drafted him fifth overall in the 2009 CFL draft. However, Carter’s stint with the Lions was short-lived when he left the club’s training camp to be closer to his family. His parents, Catherine and Allan Carter, had moved from West Kelowna to Oakville, Ont., where his mom was battling a rare form of cancer. “I felt bad about leaving the Lions, but I couldn’t stay in B.C. at the time,” Carter said. “So technically I was a free agent, and that’s when Hamilton called me and offered me a spot on their practise roster. That was the start of it for me.” Now, in his third CFL season, Carter fully appreciates where a once unlikely career in football has led him—from a special teams player for eight games in 2009, to a backup receiver in 2010, to a full-time job as a Ti-Cats starter in 2011. “I can’t complain at all. I’m 25 years-old and still playing football. I go out there and get paid to play a kid’s game.” As an added bonus,
It might not make the task any easier, but at least the Kelowna Rockets know exactly what they’re going to get from the rival Vancouver Giants. As usual, Don Hay’s club will be expected to leave it all on the ice when they visit Prospera Place Saturday night for the Rockets 2011 home open-
er.
“Year after year they’ve done a very good job of making sure the program sticks with its identity,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “They’re a hardworking team, they get lots of traffic in front of your net, and they’re always tough to play against. I don’t ex-
HAMILTON TIGER CATS
WEST KELOWNA’S Matt Carter is in his third season with the CFL’s Hamilton
the league. “It’s an exciting time to be in Hamilton,” Carter said. “We’ve shown glimpses of greatness and we’ve also shown glimpses of mediocrity. We have a lot of talented guys, it’s just a matter of showing up every week. For us, we’re playing for each other. We love being competitive and being in the hunt. As long as we’re playing our best football at the end, that’s what counts. It’s exciting.” Still, Carter is taking none of his life in the CFL for granted and understands the need to improve on a daily basis—particularly in the competitive world of pro sports. “It’s a competitive business and there are lots of guys out there looking for work,” he said. “It’s tough to stay on top, you have to get better every day and finds reasons for them not to take you off the roster. It’s a process, it’s about having fun, and putting in your best effort at the same time. I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts.” Carter and the Ti-Cats return to action Saturday when they visit the Toronto Argonauts.

pect anything different (Saturday).” The Rockets haven’t played since last Saturday when they downed the Silvertips 5-4 in Everett in their season opener. With the excitement and anticipation of their home opener mounting all week long, Huska is urging his players to keep
their emotions on an even keel. “I think we have to try and get our players to manage their time well during the day,” he said,. “It can seem like a long wait and the players can get pretty excited. It’s important to make sure they don’t waste their energy prior to the game, and
just control the excitement level.” As of Thursday, the Giants biggest offensive threat, Brendan Gallagher, remained with the NHL’s Montreal Canadiens. As for the Rockets, veteran forward Shane McColgan, 18, will make his season debut Saturday after spending the better
part of three weeks at N.Y. Rangers training. The club is still without 19-year-old forward Brett Bulmer who remains on the pre-season roster of the NHL’s Minnesota Wild. Rookie defenceman See Rockets A27

Owl girls in UBC Top 8 Tourney Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
If the Kelowna Secondary School Owls girls field hockey team was looking for solid competition to start the season they will find it this weekend in Vancouver. The Owls began play Thursday night at the UBC Top 8 Tournament featuring the eight teams that are considered the top eight in B.C. high school girls field hockey this season. For the Owls, who will host the senior girls provincials this year, it’s the start of a rebuilding sea-
son with just one Grade 12 player and a host of players in either Grade 11 or 10. “We’re extremely young,” said head coach Arnar Bernhardson. “We’ve come a long way in the last two weeks. I think we can do some damage come later in the season. For now we’re going to focus on teaching of the game and how to play our game.” Among the teams participating in the UBC Top 8 Tournament is Carson Graham, the defending AAA provincial champions as well as West Vancouver, which placed
second at provincials last season. The Owls meanwhile are looking to improve on a third place showing from last year’s provincials and will have a chance to do that on its home turf. Kelowna will host the AAA girls field hockey provincials Nov. 9 to 11 at CNC and UBCO. It’s the first time the field hockey provincials will be held in Kelowna since the 1980s. Even with a young team, Bernhardson says the talent of the Kelowna girls should give KSS a fighting chance. “We’re hoping to crack
the top six in the province this year,” said Bernhardson. “If we can do that we will consider the year a success. We’re going to go hard every game and see what happens.” On the field the Owls will be led by Grade 12 captain Chelsea Marshall and Grade 11 captain Maddy Swordy. Last week KSS opened the Okanagan Valley league play with a 4-1 win over Penticton High. Yolanda Kondrak was the player of the game for KSS after scoring two goals while Katy Bolsinger also had a strong game.

Rockets behind Sun tickets
r f
Rockets from A26 tMadison Bowey is expected to miss another two weeks of action with a knee injury.
ROCKETS BACKING SUN
The Kelowna Rockets are throwing their support behind the Okanagan Sun as the B.C. Football Conference club attempts to sell out its final home game of the junior football season. The Sun will be selling tickets for its Oct. 9 home game against the Vancouver Island Raiders at the next two Rockets home games: Saturday, Oct. 1 and Wednesday, Oct. 5. “It’s important to me that the Sun have a strong following for this game as it is for first place and a chance to host games in the playoffs,” said Rockets president/GM Bruce Hamilton. “Our goal is to help ensure that game is sold out.” The Sun host Vancouver Island at 1 p.m. at the Apple Bowl on Oct. 9 to close out the B.C. Football Conference season. The Sun will have a ticket booth set up inside Prospera Place at the Rockets home opener against Vancouver on Oct. 1, and the following Wednesday when Kelowna takes on
JE
Tri-City. “We’re very happy to be able to join forces with the Kelowna Rockets as we work to fill the Apple Bowl for our regular season finale against Vancou-
ver Island on Oct. 9,” said Sun director Blake Roberts. “The Apple Bowl is already known throughout the CJFL for having the best junior football atmosphere and fans in the country. We’d like to thank the Rockets for this opportunity to help create a playoff atmosphere for this game so that Sun fans can really be that 13th man advantage and help the players grab first place in the conference.”

The hometown Okanagan Athletics were picture perfect at the 3rd annual Okanagan College High School Classic Tournament last weekend. The Athletics put together a perfect 5-0 record in winning the Ray Stearns Memorial Trophy for the first time. In the final the A’s defeated the Vancouver Island Mariners 3-0 in a well-played game lasted only 90 minutes thanks to strong pitching from each club. Tanner Collins allowed just three hits and struck out six along the way to earn the win while the Athletics offense scored all the runs he would need in the first inning. James Ward led off the inning with a perfect bunt for a base hit before shortstop Josh Croft hit a triple to score Ward and Dawson Yates hit a ground ball to the right side allowing Croft to score.
The A’s led off the tournament on Friday with a 6-2 victory over Badlands Baseball Academy out of Alberta. Winning pitcher Dillon Kakoshke was dominant striking out 13 batters and giving up just 2 hits. Also Friday the Athletics mercy-ruled the Penticton Tigers 11-0 behind winning pitcher Brandon Herney who gave up just two hits and struck out seven. Jared Young was 2 for 3 with three RBI’s and two runs scored. Okanagan would then move on to face the other undefeated team, Vancouver Island, who they would beat 13-6. Eric Mcginn was the winning pitcher while Cole Laviolette led the hitting with two hits, three RBIs and three runs scored. In the playoffs the A’s pounded Penticton 12with Jared Young earning the win giving up just one hit and striking out seven.
Dallas Senger and Josh Croft each scored three runs and James Ward had 2 doubles. While the Athletics and Vancouver Island were in a different class than Penticton and the Badlands with older teams used to higher level play, tournament organizer Bill Bayne was impressed with the As, who compete in the B.C. PBL. “The As did everything right in their five games with stellar pitching, great defense and timely, aggressive hitting and baserunning,� he said. “This is a good young team and the upcoming PBL season should see them in the top six for the first time. If those kids keep listening to their coaches and working hard they will get even better and most of their 2012 grads will go to play college baseball whether it be the OC Coyotes or U.S colleges.�

THIS WEEKEND
The OC Coyotes will host the Vancouver Island Baseball Institute (VIBI) Mariners for a six game collegiate exhibition series this weekend at Elks Stadium. VIBI won four close games from the Coyotes a couple of weekends ago in Nanaimo so the Coyotes will be looking to bounce back. The Mariners boast some 2011 spring Canadian College Baseball Conference league allstars and will be tough to handle. Pitchers Connor Russell and Taylor Macdonell are two of the leagues top pitchers. All star outfielders Cody Phipps and Blake Robson are solid both offensively and defensively. As for the Coyotes so far second year infielder Garrett Weise has been pounding the ball, Garrett Kucher has been solid at shortstop and Dustin Deeming has battled hard for a starting outfielders job. Rookies Bryan Elias, Ashton Martin and Jeff Bouchard all have the talent on the mound while Okanagan A’s pitcher Jeff May along with Kelowna’s Mike Monster can be tough to hit. Meanwhile the As will get a chance at some tougher competition than they saw at last weekend’s high school tournament as they are going to play VIBI in the 6:30 p.m. game tonight in place of the Coyotes.
MMA bout Just three weeks after his TKO victory at Battlefield Fight League 10, Team Toshido’s Mike Hill jumped right back in the cage and increased his perfect professional Mixed Martial Arts record to 4-0. Hill defeated Edmonton fighter Mike Scarcello in an exciting bout. After exchanging blows in thej first round, Hill found his stride, executing a number of takedowns and following up with some damaging ground and pound. At the end all three judges had Hill winning every round, giving him the unanimous decision. “This victory really showed Mike’s growth as a fighter,� stated Toshido head trainer, David Lea. “Scarcello was a real test for Mike at this stage in his career, and he passed with flying colours.� To find out more visit www.toshido.ca.

Warriors host champs Junior rowers in home opener After going a perfect 3-for-3 on the road to ropen the 2011-12 BCHL season, the Westside Warriors will find out if they possess the same magic on home ice. On Friday night at Royal LePage Place, the t Warriors play their home opener against the the defending national champion Vernon Vipers. Face off is 7 p.m. Prior to the game, a tailgate party gets under f way outside the arena at 5:30 p.m., along with a barbecue, live music and an engine from the West Kelowna Fire Department. Inside LePage, Warriors’ forward Brett McKinnon expects an exciting atmosphere.
“It’s going to be awesome,� said McKinnon. “There should be tons of fans there, and it should be a good environment. Hopefully we can get another win.� It was McKinnon’s heroics that helped the Warriors extend their winning streak to three with a 3-2 win over the Salmon Arm SilverBacks on Wednesday night. The 18-year-old Kelowna product notched the decisive goal with just 30 seconds remaining in the third period. Trailing 2-1 after 40 minutes of play, the Warriors tied the game up when Connor Dempsey converted a 5-on-3 advantage. Richard Vanderhoek

also scored for Westside, the star forward’s first tally of the season. Sean Flanigan and Kyle Oleniuk responded for Salmon Arm. The Warriors outshot their hosts 20-5 in the third period and 48-27 overall, with Silverbacks netminder Kurt Williams named the game’s first star. On Saturday, the Warriors will visit Merritt.
Going in without expectations turned out to be golden for a pair of athletes from the Kelowna Rowing Club. Rowers Cody Samuelson and Riley Petersen placed first in the annual Nicomekl Regatta in White Rock earlier this month, navigating the tricky waters of the Nicomekl River as the quickest junior men’s doubles team. The event was the first time the pair had rowed together and they chose a tough test on the Nicome-
kl, a six kilometre race down the winding river where tidal currents make it a tactical challenge to find the fastest route. The day of the race dawned cold and wet, a stark reminder to the rowers that they were not in the delights of Kelowna anymore. After the warmup preparations, the rowing team rowed to the starting line with anticipation where they waited patiently until they started. After a hard fought race, the two rookies had nothing to worry about as they

Stroda won all of his discus competitions this year, including the Legions in Ottawa in August, and a high caliber event in Germany. He improved on Dylan Armstrong’s 15-year-old national record in discus throw and showed his versatility with strong performances in 100m, 200m high and long jump in B.C. track meets, and in the shot put where almost hit the 16m mark. Aaron also won the javelin competition at Legions and earned a special recognition for the best B.C. Athletics male athlete at Legions. “I will take a little break now from track and will contribute to my OKM volleyball team. We will start doing longer runs at Knox Mountain and then we’ll get into the indoor practice. I am planning to go up to Kamloopsevery other weekend to practice at their indoor facility over the winter for the technical events.�

Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aaron Stroda finished off the 2011 track and field season in style at the Kamloops Elite Throws Meet. Coming off a successful trip to Germany for an international meet a week earlier, Stroda delivered fanother throw of over 59 metres in the discus on Saturday at the National Throwing Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I woke up at 4 a.m. Saturday morning as a rersult of my trip to Germany last week and the nine hours time change and felt a bit tired, from the neck kdown and up during competitionâ&#x20AC;?, explained Aaron. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to finally hit the 60m in a competition. The first four throws felt really good but were short. I guess I wanted too rmuch. Then I focused on just having fun and enjoying my final two throws rfor the season and got back into the zone of 59 to 60m. I am very happy with my consistency over the season from early May until late September.â&#x20AC;?

Five for Fighting helps build a roof
Fan bus for league action
Professional wrestling is once again taking part in Rutland’s September Days, with a live show this Saturday at the Rutland Centennial Hall. The show is appropriately named Five For Fighting as all tickets are only $5 and all proceeds go directly to the Rutland Park Society to continue with repairs to the Hall’s aging roof. The Main Event will be Kelowna’s Kyle Sebastian, who recently returned from Alberta where he was filming the World of Hurt reality television program about professional wrestling. Sebastian will defend his Trans-Canada Title against veteran Disco Fury. Another Kelowna native Mad Dog Marty Sugar will team with the 2011 Okanagan Cup winner, Black Dragon, to battle KC Andrews and Michael More in a Tag Team Grudge Match. The Okanagan-Interior Champion, Unholy Minion, defends his title against the masked Mean Machine. “Kelownafornian” Collin Cutler also makes his return to the wrestling ring, as a Special Guest referee. Cutler took a hiatus from pro wrestling in June to pursue other interests but many fans hope this appearance might mean the possible fulltime return of the popular local grappler. Other wrestlers on the card include Slave, Adam Ryder, Danny Knightmare, and Greased Lightning Ronnie Angel. Advance tickets are available at Valley Pawnbrokers, Players Choice, Fernando’s Taqueria, Ebenezer’s in Vernon, and the Rutland Centennial Box Office and Flea Market.
A fan bus will travel from Kelowna to Langley later this year for the return of the National Lacrosse League to B.C. On Dec. 10, the Langley Events Centre will play host to a pre-season game featuring the Washington Stealth and the Toronto Rock. The teams have competed for the NLL Championship the past two years with the Stealth taking the title in 2010, and the Rock

Duo launch CD in new East Kelowna venue Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Meet Andrew and Zachari Smith and you quickly understand this father/son duo have music flowing in their veins. Andrew’s father, Zach’s grandfather, is still gigging as part of the Old Time Fiddlers, though he’s now in his 70s. Zach had his first drums before he went to school— his father figures he was three—and Andrew is one of the few Canadians to have won the prestigious Kerrville Newfolk Songwriting Competition, an honour he earned in 2006. Nevertheless, the fact that Zach, an up-andcoming indie rock musician whose songwriting collective The Geese just launched their first EP, decided to spend his spare time during his 20s working with his father is unique. “It’s nice to be able to play in front of different audiences,” he says. “This is more mellow, which I’m a big fan of.” “This” refers to their act—Andrew and Zachari Smith—and they launch their first CD in East Kelowna next week. While Andrew still tours on his own, and Zach plays with The Geese, they’ve also been touring their collaborative folk, alt-country act for almost two years and have compiled a collection of songs—several written by Andrew, several written by Zach and the rest penned together.
The pair solidified the working relationship after Zach finished his bachelor of arts and left university, though they’ve obviously jammed together for the better part of a lifetime, and they’re clearly steeped in a rich musical community. Launching the CD on the East Kelowna property where they currently rent a home, they will be the first official concert in the other building on the acreage—a new venue dubbed Bottega Farm Inn at Lille Gard (www.bottegakelowna.com). The property is owned by Dave Krysko, who Andrew describes as a longtime friend and fellow arts enthusiast who has been a big supporter over the years. Krysko—same name as the Club Penguin founder—apparently doesn’t want to talk about the new space just yet, though the web site indicates it’s set to launch this week. “It’s really just a soft launch right now,” Andrew explained, saying their concert will be the first to use the sound system. It was being tested during this interview. A massive cement and glass theatre space with hotel rooms, a conference area and audio engineering studio, it should be an impressive addition to Kelowna’s arts scene when it officially launches in the spring. Andrew said he and Krysco had been talking about the idea of creating

NEWS ▼ HERB SULLIVAN
Fallen lifelong hero for columnist will be sadly missed T he remarkable Herb Sullivan died early Tuesday morning and with his departure Kelowna has truly lost an icon. When it comes to passing the litmus test in life—Herb is as fine a man as it gets. I’ve said it before and I will undoubtedly say it countless more times, but Herb Sullivan saved my life. That claim is not mine alone. In fact, I’d suggest several folks could make that claim. Quite simply, Herb Sullivan changed lives—and always for the better. I was just a waif of about 11 when I first wandered into the dingy rundown Kelowna Boys Club facility on Lawrence Avenue back in the 1960s —and met the man who would become my hero. He took me under his
HODGE PODGE
Charlie Hodge protective wing immediately. Over the next 40plus years, Herb Sullivan taught me many valuable lessons including hope, perseverance, patience, self control and inner toughness. His first lesson, however, was how to physically defend myself. Even at a young age, I had too much of an opinion and not enough sense to occasionally back down. I attracted bullies like flies to honey and was constantly sporting a split lip or bleeding nose. Herb decided enough
was enough and hauled me into the makeshift boxing ring for some basic lessons. “You’re just a little bit of a guy Charlie, so you have to learn to be that much tougher than others or you’re going to get murdered. You better learn to run faster or duck quicker,” he lectured to me one day as I sat on my rump wondering how the big kid towering over me had planted me there so firmly. “The trick is, Charlie, to tuck in tight, keep your chin down, and soldier on,” he’d pontificate. Over the years the bullies continued to come along. They still do in fact, however, thanks to Herb, the physical and emotional wounds are far fewer. It was Herb who steered me into hockey as both a player and a ref-
eree. He also taught me to be tolerant, compassionate and a good friend to others. For that I owe him the world. For Herb, the ability to share and care was almost instinctive. He learned it very early in life, as part of the survival skills honed as the middle child of 15 siblings. Herb was born in Regina in 1923 and grew up, like many Prairie kids, with school, church and sports dominating his youth. He was an outstanding baseball and hockey player. Upon discharge from war service in 1947, Herb went to work in the Kimberley mines and while there starred as a Senior B hockey player. The team wound up in a playoff round against Vernon and when he travelling through Kelowna to get to Vernon, Herb fell in love with the city. “When the series was over we were taking a bus back to the McCullough train station. I said, ‘Stop the bus, I like it here,’ and I got off,” Herb recalled to
me a year ago. Herb joined the Packers hockey club for the 1948-49 seasons and Kelowna was officially home from then on. He and Marnie were married in 1951 and soon after began a family of three children, twins Mary and John and later Patricia. In 1958, Herb took on the job of director for the brand new Kelowna Boys Club. Since there were no probation officers in those days, the police simply sent all ‘problem’ youth to the boys’ club for “straightening out.” Herb also spent countless hours volunteering at the Sunnyvale Workshop as he took many of the intellectually challenged on camping trips, and organized their baseball leagues and swimming events. In 30 years of running the boys’ club facility, Herb never turned one kid away. “Not once. I never judged a child based on his worse moment. There were always three chances,” Herb explained. Finally in 1988, at
age 65, Herb left the organization. The facility had moved to the building near the armouries and Herb figured it was a good time to take a bit of time for himself and his family. “I am so lucky because he’s the best Dad and Grandpa in the world,” daughter Mary (Doug) Bullock remembers fondly. “As a kid I had the best of both worlds— there was always 30 kids at our house for lunch, or in the back yard, and he was always a really, really fine man.” As well, Herb was president of the Community Concert Series for several years, a volunteer at the food bank and at the Veteran’s Military Museum, where he helped lots of veterans to acquire hearing aids and other forms of assistance. “He was always behind the scenes working quietly for anyone and everyone. He’s an amazing man who’s never looked back, never complained about how things could or should have
been,” Mary beams. That’s partly why last year, at age 87, Herb was named the 2010 Anita Tozer Award winner during the Kelowna Civic Awards for his lifetime contribution to the community. I was honoured to be a part of that ceremony. Earlier this month, Herb attended a barbecue at our house and was in his glory meeting old friends. He was the star of the party. The number of folks that knew and loved him was testimony to the man he was. I am heartbroken today at the loss of my dear friend. I’ve lost a lot of friends recently, but Tuesday I not only lost a friend but, as I said, my lifetime hero. Thank goodness he taught me so many valuable lessons such as “suck up the hurt and move forward” and “soldier on.” Without Herb Sullivan I have no idea where I would be today. Like my community and my world, I am a much better person today because of him. Bless you my friend.
Planting roots for a greener Kelowna Kelowna is getting ready to plant trees on Saturday with the help of the TD Green Streets Program. The City’s NeighbourWoods program will take place at the Mission Recreation Park Arboretum (4105 Gordon Dr.) at from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Residents are encouraged to bring their gardening and tree health questions for city staff and tree experts. “The goal of NeighbourWoods is to not only
help us increase our tree canopy to 20 per cent but to encourage residents to invest in our local environment,” said Ian Wilson, park services manager. “Through public education and the planting of trees we can preserve, protect and grow a greener Kelowna.” This fall’s NeighbourWoods program will include: • Tree planting demonstrations every hour beginning at 11 a.m.
• Urban Forestry Strategy display • Community Wildfire Protection Plan display • Tree Health seminar with Don Burnett • Ceremonial tree planting with Mayor Sharon Shepherd and TD representative Vik Bains, at 12:30 p.m. • Tree pick-up for successful applicants The city’s fall NeighbourWoods program was made possible thanks to a $15,000 TD Green Streets matching grant.

STUDENTS IN THE GOURMET cooking class of the Hostellerie Berard in La Cadiere d’Azur, France do most of the work and love every second of it.
Cooking school gives the true flavours of France Linda Bergstrom CONTRIBUTOR
LA CADIERE D’AZUR, France—It is day four of cooking class at La Bastide des Saveurs, and many of the 14 students are looking for chairs to catch a few minutes of rest before the whisking begins. But it is
also dessert day, so a delicious reward at the end is guaranteed. Such are the joys, and challenges, of a gourmet cooking class at the estate of the Hostellerie Berard in La Cadiere d’Azur, France. There is work to be done, and instructions to follow, during a day that
can stretch to seven hours. The key also is to have fun. Who wants to work on vacation? The setting is movie-set-perfect: The rustic kitchen of a 19th century country house in the Provencal countryside. Pass by the herb and vegetable garden on the way to the kitchen with chef Rene
Berard. A cutting board and knife await each student around the wooden block table. Bowls of cubed butter, sugar, yellow apples and pine nuts give clues to the day’s tasks. Berard walks in, and it’s time to grab your knife, or your pen to take notes, and get cooking.

The window is cracked open and reveals a prototypical Provence countryside. Copper pans crowd the space above the stove, and dried herbs in glass jars line the countertops. The tile walls of red and yellow shout Provence. Desserts do not make a meal, so the lesson also includes an artichoke salad featuring artichokes from the garden. The students have had a hand in the entire lunch menu, so the lamb that was deboned and put in a marinade days ago is brought out. Berard arranges the meat just so before he hands it

the week. One of the younger students, recent college grad Arielle Saporta of Chicago, marvelled at the garden tour earlier in the week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were four different types of basil,â&#x20AC;? she said. The 1 p.m. stated ending time stretches to 3:30 p.m., but no one wants to leave. There is talk that Berard will not be doing this much longer. Someone asks him directly. His words are translated: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The day I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a passion, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stop.â&#x20AC;? The students nod knowingly, then offer a toast.
IF YOU GO:
La Cadiere dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Azur is one of those picturesque French towns. It is big enough to have several decent restaurants and small enough that you feel you are experiencing life as a resident. The charming Hostellerie Berard (hotel-berard.com) occupies several buildings in town. It may seem as if you are on a treasure hunt as you travel down corridors, up and down steps and across al-
leys to find your room. Ours had no embellishments but was functional and clean. The extras came in the fabulous view of the refreshing pool and enchanting valley below. Rooms range from $145 out of season to $420 for a suite in peak summer season. The family of chef Rene Berard runs the hotel, the top-notch restaurant and the cooking school. Most cooking students opt for the longer four-day class; costs, including room for five nights, breakfasts and other events, start at $2,450. You can also do what I did and hook up with a group for a one-day class; my rate was $215. The schedule changes (classes begin again in September), so it is best to check for availability. The location gives you day-trip options in Provence and the Cote dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Azur. Cassis has the beach and the seaside restaurants. Le Castellet has steep streets and touristy shops but a great regional wine shop at its base. Bormes-les-Mimosas has wonderful flowers and

Cuba could get new life for vintage cars Ellen Creager CONTRIBUTOR
The 50-year-old U.S. trade embargo prevented American auto companies or parts suppliers from doing business with Cuba. That didn’t matter much in 1961. But now, half a century later, these cars need work. “Sometimes you see a pile of rust on four tires, and you’re thinking, how can that thing even move?” said John McElroy of Autoline Detroit, who has been to Cuba. “I saw people who were making their own brake fluid using sap from a bush and mineral spirits.” Cuba is full of do-ityourself mechanics, using whatever they can dig up to keep their cars running. Despite the embargo—started after Fidel Castro’s 1959 revolution—the Obama administration could make rules allowing U.S. aftermarket auto parts into Cuba, said Jake Colvin, vicepresident of global trade issues for the National Foreign Trade Council in Washington, D.C. “Wouldn’t that be great, to allow mechanics and old car buffs to
go down there with parts under a people-to-people visit?” he said. “The administration absolutely has the ability and latitude to do that under the law. It just hasn’t been a priority.” But that’s only half of the story. While creaky American cars are begging for parts, Cuba’s roads are taking on a new look. China, which is Cuba’s second-largest trading partner after Venezuela, has supplied thousands of new buses, built by Zhengzhou Yutong Group. Police cars in Havana are Chinese-made Geely CKs. Rental cars and government cars also are by Geely, which has an office in Havana. Geely has exported more than 5,000 cars to Cuba since 2008. China did $1.8 billion in trade with Cuba last year overall. While U.S. automakers sit on the sidelines, Chinese automakers are making inroads into the nation of 11 million. “China knows what it’s doing. But do we?” said Rick Shnitzler, cofounder of TailLight Diplomacy, a Philadelphia

CLASSIC CARS let visitors to Havana, Cuba, step back in time. group that monitors the state of classic autos in Cuba. Colvin said any car with U.S.-made content cannot be exported to Cuba, so Canadian-made vehicles can’t be sent there, even though Canada is a trading partner with Cuba. Other nations also are fearful of angering the U.S. by making a deal with Cuba to provide cars, he said. General Motors, the most famous car brand in Cuba, isn’t pushing for change, either. “We do not have any
lobbying efforts relating to the trade embargo against Cuba,” said spokeswoman Ryndee Carney. Visitors see a lot of cars on Cuba’s roads. In addition to Chinese-made models, you’ll see South Korean-made Kia and Hyundai vehicles, as well as European cars such as Volkswagens. Most cars belong to the government. Those with yellow license plates are privately owned, mainly old American cars and a few limping Russian Ladas from the 1970s. For now, old cars are still the citizens’ cars.

Dodge Durango Citadel offers a regal ride to country resort Jim Robinson CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
CONTRIBUTED
THE DODGE DURANGO CITADEL (shown) for 2011 is the top trim model that includes almost every option in the Dodge parts bin starting at $49,995.
My first meeting with the 2011 took place about a year ago. High on a hill overlooking the Infineon Raceway north of San Francisco, the Durango was part of a test drive of the entire Dodge lineup for the coming year. At the end of the Durango line was the top trim level Citadel in glistening black on 20-inch chrome wheels looking imposing from any angle It took a while but I finally got my hands on an identical Citadel in time for the Labour Day weekend. For my wife and I, it was a chance to return to our favourite haunt, the Blue Spruce Resort north of Huntsville. It is a place
we used to go to before kids, during kids and now, for the first time, without kids again. Funny how things change. Ten years ago we would have needed all of the Durango’s full seven seating for everything from groceries to boogie boards to fishing poles. This time it was three bags, a cooler and two loads of food and beverages. Travel needs overkill no doubt but a regal ride at the same time The Citadel is the most expensive of the three Durango models starting at $49,995. The others are the base SXT starting at $37,995 and the middle range Crew Plus at See Durango B3

Two engines: 3.6-litre DOHC Pentastar V6; 5.7-litre Hemi Durango from B1 $45,995. Durango is following the rest of the entire 2011 Chrysler line by opting for two engines, the 3.6-litre DOHC Pentastar V6 and the second generation 5.7-litre Hemi. A fivespeed automatic is standard as is all-wheel-drive. The Durango shares a number of synergies with the Jeep Grand Cherokee including the same platform which is largely the same as used in the Mercedes-Benz ML SUV. A host of driver aids are also standard such as Electronic Stability Control, Hill Assist, trailer sway damping, traction control with electronic rollover mitigation and active front headrests. While there is no doubt seven front linemen could travel in comfort, what the Durango does so well is provide amazingly large cargo and utility volumes. Behind the 50/50 third row folding seats is 0.49 cu m (17.2 cu ft). Drop the fold and tumble second row of seats and it becomes 2.39 cu m (84.5 cu ft). And if that is not enough, the front passenger seat also folds flat. If you want to tow, the Trailer Tow Group ($675) with the 3.6-litre allows up to 2,812 kg (6,200 lb). Opt for the Hemi and it goes up to 3,266 kg (7,200 lb). There aren’t a lot of options but there is a lengthy list of standard features you can find more about at www.dodge.ca. Just a few of the included features on the Citadel are: SmartBeam HID headlights with auto levelling, eight-way power
front passenger seat, heated and ventilated front seats, power sunroof and a great GPS/navigation/30 gig hard drive and voice recognition and Bluetooth streaming audio infotainment system. The latter sounds like rocket science stuff but it’s pretty intuitive. Also part of the Citadel trim level are two things you either love or hate. The first is Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection. Not only does a yellow light go on in either mirror with a vehicle symbol when a car comes into the blind spot, but there is also an audible warning if you try to try to move back in the lane again to soon. The rear cross path lets you know audibly if a vehicle is coming across your rear when backing up. This is especially good in high congestion-high traffic areas of shopping centres. This I like.
find the highest-grade Nappa leather used throughout with French stitching to heighten the appeal. To me there is no wonder that Maserati wants to base its full-size premium SUV, the Kubang, on the Durango/ Jeep Grand Cherokee including running it down the same production line in Michigan. There’s heated steering wheel which my wife thought was the height of decadence, but I’ll bet she’d use it if she was driving the Durango to work every day in the winter. There’s a standard 11volt AC outlet that I always find handy and even the second row seats are heated. The 3.6-litre V6 puts out 290 hp and 260 lb/ft of torque. It’s enough in most circumstances, but if I were doing a lot of towing, the Hemi would be the first thing on the order

ONE OF THE MOST welcome aspects of the 2011 Dodge Durango is the new gen-

way, for instance, if you set it for a longer distance ahead, it’s fine, until someone does a lane change between you and the guy in front which causes you to slow very quickly. I got caught out twice in heavy holiday weekend traffic. The good thing is you can turn this function off and use normal cruise control and just don’t use it at all but that kind of defeats the purpose. FYI, Dodge assured me that if the system causes rapid deceleration, the brake lights go on so you don’t get rear-ended. And my wife liked this feature, because she thinks I occasionally tailgate. Full marks for the interior. As I have written before one of greatest knocks against all things Chryco was the interiors. During the brand’s near collapse
in 2008, the engineers and designers poured everything into cabin improvement. In the Citadel, you’ll

sheet with its 360 hp and 390 lb/ft of torque. My tester came with the 3.6-litre which, according to the Energuide, gets 13.0/8.9L/100 km (22/32 mpg) city/highway. The best I could do on the highway was 10.4L/100 km and that was on cruise about half the time. As mentioned the starting price of the Citadel is $49,995. As tested, the total came to $52,270 which included a $1,400 shipping fee, the towing package at $675 and the $1,300 rear DVD entertainment centre I could happily live without. An econocar it ain’t but then again I don’t know of any compact cars or CUVs that tow more than three tons and seat seven full-sized adults.

turer is now number one in Canada for passenger car sales and in fourth spot overall, following 32 consecutive months of sales growth. Accent is now the topselling subcompact car, Elantra squeaks in just behind the Civic, and the Sonata outsells both Accord and Camry for the number two spot in the intermediate segment. Adds Steve Kelleher, Hyundai Canada’s president and CEO, “We’ve sold more vehicles in eight months this year than we did in all of 2008.” So where to from here?
In each of the above vehicles, Hyundai has not only showcased its ‘fluidic sculpture’ design language—hence the strong family resemblance— they have proven that upscale styling and what was once considered premium content need not break the bank. So in the spirit of creating yet another example of affordable luxury, the company has released a vehicle that has pushed the boundaries even further in both form and function. The Hyundai Veloster is a compact, three-door blend of coupe and hatchback that first appeared at the 2007 Seoul Auto
Show. Its closest competitor, the Honda CR-Z hybrid, wears a similar shape, but the Veloster has a unique door configuration: two doors on the passenger side and one on the driver side. The rear door handle, however, is cleverly disguised in the black window surround, giving it the look of a coupe. From the front, its ‘eagle eye’ headlamps are just a little sinister, and the hexagon grille provides a bold first impression. The A-pillar is blacked out, making the windows look like a continuous band of See Hyundai B6
Driving Simulators and New Driver Training Programs By Kate Wells, DriveWise BC
Students were usually bored and not really paying 100% attention.
For many years it was thought that the best form of driver training came from classroom theory and then putting the theory into use by way of in car driving lessons. The classroom theory would be a set amount of hours, usually 18 in B.C., and would be a “lecture” format. In the classroom an instructor would have approximately 25 students and would talk to them about winter driving, city driving, emergency maneuvers and more. Students would then hopefully remember the information taught to them in car so that when it came time to be in the car with their instructor, they would remember.
However the problem with this way of teaching is students only retain approximately 10% by way of a “lecture only” format. This is not an ideal setting for new drivers to learn the most dangerous skill they will ever learn in their lifetime. Simulator training has been around for many years. Airline pilots train many hours on simulators so does the US Army and our own RCMP train in simulation environments. The reason for this is you simply CAN’T teach life threatening situations in our regular environment. You CAN in a risk free environment, such as a classroom facility with Driving Simulators!
Now, getting back to learning how to drive, how do you teach driving in the snow in July? How to you teach a new driver what to do if a deer jumps out at them, or what to do when their tire blows out while travelling on a freeway at 90 km/ hour? How do you teach a new driver how to get out of a skid because they hit black ice on a busy road with other road users? Simple. Driving Simulators! One driving school in British Columbia is growing quite rapidly because of the use of Driving Simulators as an addition to the classroom theory training. Driving Simulators are not meant to replace on road driving lessons, but to enhance the classroom training sessions and make it a much more “learner friendly” environment. DriveWise Canada does just that. Instead
of a traditional “lecture only” style of classroom training, they have added Driving Simulators in every classroom. Each DriveWise student learns driving skills in three ways: In class, on the driving simulator, and in the car. The retention level jumps from 10% of only “hearing information” to an astonishing 90% because they are “doing” what they learned on a Driving Simulator. The Driving Simulators graphics are extremely real and put students in to situations that you can’t do on the road. Each student will learn the dangers of driving while impaired, texting while driving and all emergency maneuvers. Students love it and bottom line, they are retaining the information they are learning.

A lot of stuff for under 20 grand Hyundai from B4 glass. Bold, sculpted wheel arches housing 17- or 18inch alloys are pulled to all four corners, making the Veloster appear rooted to the asphalt. And with LED tail lamps and centre-mounted dual exhausts in the rear fascia, the overall look is high end. The company is targeting twentysomethings with this vehicle—in other words ‘Generation Y,’ who they believe will soon eclipse the spending power of their boomer parents, and by 2020 will command 40 per cent of the new car market. What Hyundai discovered about this particular market segment is that they’re looking for
such characteristics as expressiveness, the latest technology—especially in terms of staying connected, and the ability to customize, along with the more common-sense
traits of reliability, efficiency and safety. Note, however, that ‘performance’ was not among them. Maybe because my generation wasn’t raised
on 24-7 connectedness and the need to be green (which we acquired later in life), we haven’t let go of ‘outdated’ motoring values like the need for strong performance. I’ll never understand those young ‘uns. That being said, I do appreciate what this car brings to the market. Let’s start with the base vehicle, (with sixspeed manual) priced at $18,999. It has a surprising ‘all in’ list of standard content that includes 17-inch alloy wheels (no crappy steel rims with wheel covers), chrome dual center exhaust outlet (Porsche Boxster anyone?), seven-inch high-res touchscreen with rearview camera, proximity key with pushbutton start and

Most of these are the kind of features I’d expect in a car costing $30Kplus, but Hyundai has lately been full of surprises. Like heated rear seats in a $20K Elantra. Also part of the entry package are power windows, power heated mirrors, air conditioning, tilt and telescopic steering wheel with audio and cruise controls, Bluetooth, AM/FM/XM/CD/MP3 six-speaker audio system with iPod, USB and auxiliary jacks, along with Gracenote Technologies (iPod album cover art and advanced voice recognition. If you want an automatic, there’s a six-speed, dual-clutch transmission
(DCT) available for another $1,400, bringing the price to $20,399. The DCT comes with paddle shifters (and hillstart assist), and from my brief time with both manual and automatic versions, will admit that both are a pleasure to work. I typically favour a manual in smaller cars, but the DCT shifted smoothly and briskly, whether I chose my own gears or not. The powerplant for all Velosters is the new Gamma four cylinder, a DOHC, 16-valve 1.6-litre engine with dual continuously variable valve timing and GDI (gasoline direct injection). It delivers 138 hp and 123 lb/ft of torque, and in a car that weighs around
1,200 kilograms, provides a pretty good power-toweight ratio. But the Veloster performs not unlike the Accent, which shares the same engine. First gear with the manual is a bit tall, so that you really have to milk it when accelerating hard. Still, that’s apparently not an issue for Gen Y’ers. And probably not much of one many drivers when you consider the Veloster’s fuel economy, which at 7.2/4.9/6.2 litres/100 km (manual) approaches the CR-Z hybrid’s rating of 6.5/5.3/6.0. According to Hyundai’s calculations, at $1.35 for a litre of fuel, it would take See Hyundai B7

MOTORING Hyundai from B6 83 years to recoup the CRV’s extra cost. These kinds of calculations can be smoke and mirrors if you’re heavy on the pedal. Fortunately the current Veloster doesn’t encourage that kind of driving (although it does hold a corner surprisingly well), but rumour has it that a turbo version is on the way. Inside, this car does not disappoint, with nice mix of soft-touch materials, chrome accents, faux metallic finishes and, in Tech Package trim ($22,499), double-stitched faux leather in the seats, door inserts and armrest. The standard seveninch touchscreen can be personalized with your own welcome image and sounds, and the rearvriew display is of a useful tsize for those of us over 40 who have trouble with the postage-stamp displays that some manufacrturers install in the rearview mirror. t Passenger volume is best-in-class among rcompact coupes, and the same could be said of its 440-litre cargo volume if not for the CR-Z at 711 litres. Keep in mind, however, that the Honda doesn’t have a rear seat. And you can drop the Veloster’s second row for enough room to throw in a mountain bike. Standard safety includes vehicle stability management, electronic stability control/traction control, antilock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist, six airbags, and with
the DCT you get Hillstart assist. If you still want more stuff, an extra $3,500 will get you the Tech Package which includes panoramic sunroof, navigation, an upgraded eightspeaker audio system with subwoofer, alloy pedals, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, automatic headlamps and 18inch alloys with painted inserts. The latter feature was a nice touch (I love the inserts), but I’m not a big fan of replacing 18-inch rubber when the time comes. As for the remaining content, it’s nice—and a good value if you had to price everything separately— but I could live quite happily with the base vehicle. Hyundai has built a couple of halo cars in the $40K-$54K Genesis Sedan and the $63K-plus Equus. They move relatively few compared to their volume sellers, but demonstrate the company’s capability, and reposition the brand higher in the minds of today’s savvy carbuyer. The Veloster takes this a step further, proving that a car manufacturer can deliver big on both content and style, without charging a fortune. And the quality—with its sturdy feel, hushed cabin and doors that close with a solid ‘thunk’—appears to be top drawer. I believe Hyundai will sell a pile of these cars, once buyers catch wind of the value proposition. Steve Kelleher expects to bring in around 800 Velosters for the rest of 2011. I hope that’s enough.

Honda ups the power, lowers consumption on 2012 Civic Si Jim Robinson CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
LANDOVER, Md.: Honda’s Civic hotrod, the SI, gets more power and improved handling for 2012.
The Si is built in Alliston, Ont. that supplies all Si production for North America. The Si will be available in both coupe and sedan models. Always a favorite for
THE 2012 ALLISTONBUILT Honda Civic Si has a larger engine but costs less and consumes slightly less fuel than the 2010 Si. CONTRIBUTED
CONTRIBUTED
THE INTERIOR is specific to the Si with signature touches such as the heavily bolstered front sports seats with red stitching and Si logo on the backrest.
those who want affordable performance, the 2012 Si now has a 2.4-litre variable valve timing inline four cylinder producing 201 hp and 170 lb/ft of torque. That compares to the 2010 model with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder producing 197 hp and 139 lb/ ft of torque. Interestingly the 2.4-litre is actually more fuel efficient at 10.0/6.4L/100 km city/ highway compared to 10.2/6.8L/100 km city/ highway for the 2.0-litre. Sending power to the front wheels is a six-speed manual transmission that was optimized to the
torque curve of the larger 2.4-litre. The shifter has shorter throws and much work was done on cutting noise coming from the gearbox into the cabin. What one notices right off the bat about the 2012 Si is the increased torque. While the 2010 has about the same hp, it was all revs and less poke. With the 2012, when you put your foot down rounding a corner, you can feel the tires digging in. I found this out on a course set up on the grounds of FedEx Stadium in Landover, Md. Leaving the shifter in second gear, it was all
about torque. Where the former Si would have been breathless exiting the hairpins, this is where the new Si really showed its mettle. Outwardly, Honda has added a number of Sionly touches like 17-inch alloy wheels, rear spoiler and a painted black rear diffuser. Inside, a lot of work was done to make the Si stand out from the rest of the 2012 Civic lineup such as heavily bolstered front seats with red stitching and red “Si” logo on the seatbacks and carpets. There is also a new sevenspeaker, 360-watt sound
system. The most significant interior piece is the “power monitor” that is part of the driver information display on the upper tier of the instrument panel. Operated by a rocker switch on the left steering wheel cross spoke, it is similar to the same rocker on many of the 2012 Civics that lets the driver toggle through audio, fuel economy, clock, etc. But on the Si, there is an added graphic showing what percentage of available power is being used. Even though the 2012 Si has $2,700 of added equipment such as the
bigger engine and navigation system over the outgoing model, the price is $990 lower at $25,990 compared to $26,880 for the 2012.

Mazda’s compact SUV a Tribute to solid engineering Jim Robinson CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
CONTRIBUTED
THE 2011 TRIBUTE (GS-V6 shown) has been a stalwart of the Mazda brand for a
decade combined the attributes of a true truck with a wide choice of engines, transmissions, trim and front- or all-wheel-drive.
It all started with zoom, zoom, zoom. It was much more than a catchline to a decade-long series of commercials. It helped define Mazda as fun-to-drive. Yes trucks and, believe it or not, the first time the ‘zoom zoom’ song was heard was not on the sportscars but the 2001 Tribute compact SUV. A decade later and the Tribute, and the Ford Escape which shares almost everything with it, is still soldiering on with the Escape probably the best selling compact SUV of all time in North America. And while it is the oldest vehicle in the Mazda portfolio, the Tribute is still selling well bear-
ing out that old adage: if it ain’t broke…. Then as now, there are three basic versions starting with the GX-I4 powered by Mazda’s triedand-true 2.5-litre DOHC four-cylinder engine producing 171 hp and 171 lb/ ft of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is standard with an available six-speed automatic. Optional on the GX and standard on the midrange GS-V6 and GT-V6 is a 3.0-litre DOHC V6 making 240 hp and 223 lb/ft of torque with the sixspeed manual as standard. Front-wheel-drive (FWD) is standard on the GX and GS. Standard on the GT and optional on the GX and GS with automatic transmission is Mazda’s Active Torque Split All-Wheel-Drive
(AWD) system. Tested here is the GSV6. In FWD fuel consumption is 10.9/8.0L/100 km (25.9/35.2 mpg) city/ highway. In AWD form (as tested) fuel usage is rated at 11.5/8.7L/100 km (24.6/35.5 mpg) city/ highway. Sixteen-inch alloy wheels with 235/70R16 all-season tires are standard across the board. Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), traction control and Roll-Over Stability Control (RSC) are all standard. Mazda has had a lot of time to get things right on the Tribute so they have kept things simple without a lot of extras that people rarely use. It is also a very robust vehicle that gives the sensation it is up to more than
just back country lanes. And while I wouldn’t go way off-road, I wouldn’t shy away from rock strewn earthen paths either. With the V6 and AWD, towing up to 1,588 kg (3,500 lb) is possible which is pretty good for any compact SUV. The Tribute is standard with front discs and rear drum brakes. Some say drums are better in Canada because they are less susceptible to wear and corrosion for road salt and sand in winter. And while rear drums seem a bit yestertech, the Tribute does have fourwheel ABS and Electronic Brake Force Distribution. Suspension is the same as the Escape with MacSee Mazda B10

SARSONS, GEOFFREY On September 24, 2011, our father passed away in Kelowna General Hospital, the same hospital where he was born on June 27, 1918. Dad grew up in Okanagan Mission on the property that is now part of Southwinds at Sarsons. He attended school in the Mission and one of his teachers was Anne McClymont. Dad married Clarice Spall, and served in the RCAF during WWII. He returned to live on the farm to help run the family dairy and orchard. There they raised their four children. Dad had many skills. He co-owned an electrical company and later he was manager of the newly formed Okanagan Mission water district. Dad also was very community minded. He was involved in the building of the Okanagan Mission Community Hall, the Okanagan Mission Boy Scout Hall and the Okanagan Mission Fire Hall. He was instrumental in the creation of the Okanagan Mission Volunteer Fire Department. Geoff was predeceased by his parents Christopher and Annie Sarsons, his wife Clarice and his sister Phyllis Swaisland. He is survived by his children: Roberta Withers, Jerry Sarsons, Judy (Andy) Grierson, and Rod (Donna) Sarsons; 12 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren, numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. The family wishes to thank the wonderful staff at Orchard Manor where Dad had resided after selling his property. At our fathers request there will not be a funeral but donations in his memory can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation. Condolences may be sent to the familyby visiting www.mem.com.

How immigrants can buy a home As a newcomer to Canada with permanent residence status, it can be an easy process to be approved for a mortgage to buy your home. A qualified home buyer who has immigrated or relocated to Canada can purchase a home with as little as five per cent down. There is no maximum loan amount and new or existing properties are eligible with a maximum of two units, one being owner occupied. The amortization period may be up to 30 years with less than 20 per cent of a down payment. The borrower qualifications include: • Must have immigrated or relocated to Canada within the last 36 months. •Three months minimum full time employment in Canada • Minimum five per cent down payment • Down payment can be gifted • Must have landed immigrant status
• Maximum two units where one unit is owner occupied—allows for purchase of a home with a suite, or a duplex. If credit history is limited, alternate sources of payment history can be used. These alternate sources include rent payments, utility payments or history of a documented savings account for the past 12 months. For newcomers to Canada with a down payment of 35 per cent or more, employment confirmation is not necessary. The qualifications for this type of mortgage are as follows: • Applicants must be residents in Canada (Landed Immigrant Status) or confirm an application for Landed Immigrant Status has been made and received/acknowledged by Immigration Canada • Mortgage amortization is 25 years • Down Payment must come from your own resources—can’t be gifted or borrowed. • Can’t be a resident of Canada for
greater than three years New immigrant applicants must also have one of the following: • Satisfactory international credit bureau • Satisfactory letter of reference from a Bank within their country of origin • Evidence of liquid assets equal to at least six months principal, interest and taxes, in addition to the down payment. The investment statement or confirmation must be dated within 60 days of the application date Both scenarios allow for discounted rates for the borrower. Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of mortgage professionals Kristin Rosdal, 250-878-3007, kristin@kelownahomemortgages.ca; Darwyn Sloat, 250-7184117, dsloat@kelownahomemortgages.ca; Arlyne Wilson, 250-8621818, awilson@lenderapproved. ca; and Trish Balaberde, 250-4708435, trishb@kelownahomemortgages.ca.
Appreciating the design value of mirrors Most people familiar with interior design know the value of mirrors. When placed right, they can make a room appear larger and lighter than it really is. A mirror placed across from a window in a small, narrow room, for example, can open it up. Mirrors can be used in other ways to play up the features of a room.
Designers employ all kinds of techniques with mirrors—they angle mirrors toward each to break up the reflection and allow for a unique mosaic affect or arrange them in a specific order for a comforting repetitious effect. Mirrors can be used to disguise flaws and highlight objects as well. Dresser top scratched?
No problem. Have a piece of mirror cut to fit it, and voila, you’ve got a great place to store all of those crystal perfume bottles. The mirrored top will reflect light onto the crystal, creating a dazzling effect. Bookshelves seem a little drab? Not with mirrored backs. Hang or glue some mirrors to the backs
of your bookshelves for depth and whatever you have tucked inside will come alive. Mirrors do not have to be new or in perfect condition to create an interesting effect. Distressed mirrors work great in many design styles from Old World to country cottage, while convex mirrors can add interest to more modern rooms.

Glenmore corner lot home stands out House from B24 washers and bank of ovens and warming trays. The master suite is lovely, coffered ceilings with flawless crown molding details make the room memorable. The ensuite bathroom continues the meticulous attention to finishing and reiterates the use of curves, the wainscoted wall behind the solid limestone tub has a subtle curve that changes the space to sublime. Guests will not quibble with finding their place in the generously sized bedrooms on the lower floor. Each guest room is larger than the average living room and graced with banks of windows. The lower floor has not been skimped on in any way. The perfectly set 24-inch tiles visually move through the lower floor in an enticing pathway to the multiuse large rec-room with its own private deck. The room features space for a media room, billiards and a the designated area for gym equipment is well lit with windows. Yet again function for living is blended into the lower floor, there are two very large storage areas, one blended into the standard footprint of the house, the second is located under the triple car garage with a separate stairwell into the garage itself—perfect for sports equipment and tools. The show home is by private viewing only; call Raymond LaPointe at 250-717-0003 for your tour.

Warm and cozy options You love the look and feel of fireplaces, but you’ve never had the privilege of owning a home with one. Fortunately for you, there are several models now on the market that can be installed easily. When shopping for a fireplace, you must determine first where it will go and what you want from it. If you’re looking for a fireplace that puts out heat, you must find one that fits the size of the room. Too small of one won’t put out enough heat, while too big of one will overheat the room. There are two type of gas fireplaces that can be installed easily: direct-vent and no-vent. Direct-vent fireplaces are self-contained and require no foundation. They are vented out of the nearest sidewall. Vent-free fireplaces require no venting and put out a huge amount
of heat, making them more suitable for large spaces. They also produce a lot of moisture. Both require a source of natural gas or propane. If you would prefer not to bother with a fuel source, you may look at electric fireplaces. These do not burn, but they do provide the illusion of crackling flames. Some models also come with space heaters to help heat the room. If these options do not appeal to you and you prefer a traditional fireplace, you may check into having one installed. This will be easier if you are adding on to your home, of course. Either way, it will cost you, and you will have to determine whether you want a gas or a wood fireplace. Gas burns cleaner. Wood, however, is more authentic and produces a sweet scent and a crackling sound.

SHOWCASE W GLENMORE
House design takes advantage of unique landscape Bobbi-Sue Menard CONTRIBUTOR
By definition, a corner lot in a housing development offers some unique potential design options that other lots might not offer. Such is the case for a new home at 708 High Pointe Dr. in Glenmore. Carved out of solid rock and perched high above Glenmore, just below Knox Mountain, this lot is the site of the latest show home by RLJ Homes. A traditional inspired home with a distinctly modern approach to layout and function, 708 High Pointe Drive showcases design features matched to its corner lot location and geography. The home is defined by the long private drive way snaking along the mountain face. The steeply sloped roof lines are set over top of welcoming mix yellow and burgundy framed by deep white trim. The front entry of the home opens into a set of possibilities defined by curved archways. Light spills into the front entry from the grand living room to the left, while to forward and to the right it the satin smooth swoop of the curved stair railing leading to the expansive lower floor. On the main floor of the home is the well proportioned great room, gorgeous kitchen, master suite and several generously sized rooms that are designed for function-
THE STEEP topography and corner lot layout offered an opportunity to provide some unique features inside and out of the new RLJ Homes showhome, at 708 High Pointe Dr., in Glenmore. The expansive kitchen is one of highlight features inside the home. TANYA TERRACE/CAPITAL NEWS
al living—a large walk in pantry, cleverly designed laundry room and charming den/guest bedroom. A catalogue of rooms on the main floor does not do the scope of the home justice. The great room soars with a 26-foot high peaked roof with deep beams, high windows and a show stopping dual fan situated like airplane propellers and styling that references Casablanca. The fireplace in the main room is two sided and the absolute latest technology with backlit embers that operate independently of the flames. You can enjoy the glow of the fire without the continuous heat. The kitchen sells the
home. The three-tier island is home to expansive prep and storage space with a large eating space. The look of the kitchen is stellar with old world style finishing on the cabinetry, mixed with modern glass tiling inserts in the backsplash and oceans of modern black granite. The functionality is a cook’s delight. Carefully planned plug-ins allow for almost any small appliance preference, while the banks of cupboards are sufficient to host a party for dozens. The walk-in pantry is its own delight for the serious cook, as is the juice bar, six burner Kitchen Aid range, dual dishSee Home B21
