OPINION

COLUMNIST Judie Steeves says the cost to visit our beautiful national parks along the B.C./Alberta border seem a little excessive given that our tax dollars helped create those parks in the first place.

HEDLEY, coming to Prospera Place for a concert Sept. 14, have a cool name tied to a B.C. town, but the band has long since cemented its reputation in the music world with three hit CDs to their credit.

KATHY MICHAELS says the idea of dumping the Queen in Canada is a distasteful concept for us to discuss.

▼ SYMPOSIUM

Land claims complicate water planning Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Policy makers and scientists planning for the future of B.C.’s water supply gathered at UBCO this week for a water symposium jointly held on three campuses. Video conferencing with colleagues at the University of Victoria and UNBC in Prince George, the session was described as the first brainstorming venture needed to build a province-wide strategy for the scientific community as it tries to provide the data needed to manage B.C.’s water supply. The meeting represents the first stage in plans to make good on commitments from B.C.’s water plan, Living Water Smart, in which the provincial government stated it would provide a science strategy for dealing with water. “We know we have climate change coming. We know we have uncertainty about the climate and we know, in general, what the trends are going to be,” explained Bernie Bauer, UBCO professor in Earth and Environmental Sciences and member of the organizing committee. “We know there are

going to be land-use changes that need to be taken into account. “We know we’re facing changing hydrology and changes to how watersheds are going to work,” he said. Trying to deal with those changes in a cohesive way presents a communication challenge bar none as the scientific community and political bodies try to streamline their approaches so as not to duplicate work. Even the Okanagan Basin Water Board, for example, is a completely unique entity, a product of the three regional districts involved, that has no counterpart in the Lower Mainland, on the Island or in the north, with which to confer. There are challenges getting government and university researchers working from the same page. But no challenge seemed as great as the one presented by First Nation’s land claims, Bauer admitted. Land claims have placed legal challenges on water resources at the federal level, those who attended the conference heard. See Planning A6

TRANSPORTATION MINISTER Shirley Bond has a light moment with Mike Docherty, general manager for First Canada/Farwest transit company, at the rapid bus transit expansion press conference at City Hall.

▼ TRANSIT

Local residents to get a slick new ride Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Those who refer to the bus as the loser cruiser should be on the hunt for a new pet name. Sunday this city’s public transit system will be given a winning advantage when it’s equipped with a RapidBus service connecting downtown to

UBC Okanagan, and various parts of Rutland and the Mission. “It will save about 10 minutes over existing buses,” said transportation minister Shirley Bond in reference to the time it takes to make a trip between downtown and UBCO. “It actually competes with the time it takes to

use a vehicle.” Unlike the regular system, riders will get pickedup every 15 minutes during peak travelling time along Highway 97, and once their chauffeur welcomes them into their cushy new ride, they’ll navigate the city in a much more efficient manner. “There’s more digital technology on the bus,

and one of the advances is that buses will have the ability to extend green lights to keep things moving,” said Stockwell Day, MP for Okanagan Coquihalla. With that, for the first time in Okanagan history, the impetus to drive behind a bus may be born, but that would defeat the aim of making the system

more user-friendly. Several other transit advances are in the offing, and those are all geared at making the choice to ride the bus more appealing. Among them is to outfit all stations with digital screens providing passengers with real-time schedSee Ride A7

Murder suspects arrested

▼ BOATING SAFETY

Cops confront rule breakers on the water Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

With a squeal of a siren, and a spray of water, one of Kelowna’s police crafts pulled over a boat load of Saudi tourists Thursday afternoon on a ride under the William Bennett Bridge. “Stop your engine,” Const. Rohle Williams, yelled out to the three young guys who, like the family pulled over before them, looked understandably perturbed to see a police boat loaded with members of the local media on their tail. “Do you see that sign,” said Christopher Marrie, a boating safety officer from Transport Canada, as he pointed to a sign of a circled number eight. It, of course, denoted the eight-kilometre an hour speed limit under the bridge—a marker few boaters heed on lake visits. They admitted to not noticing it, and when asked to ante up the requisite paperwork for their day’s boat rental, they also fell short, leaving them to return to shore to get things up to snuff. All in all, it may sound like a slow motion, dramadry snippet from TV shows the likes of COPS, but it’s that kind of enforcement that police service hope will change the

tide of behaviour on local waterways. As Marrie puts it, there’s a surprising level of disregard for lake safety in the Okanagan, as reading through any newspaper this summer would make clear. “When you look at all the accidents we have on waterways across Canada, we’ve had them all here in the Okanagan,” said Marrie, who for the first time had a Transport Canada craft implanted in the Okanagan this year. “It’s a Mecca for boaters, but there’s too much of a rush to hit the water, and people aren’t looking at what is safe—it’s party time.” A quick tally shows there have been seven fatalities in local lakes this year. Cole Barr, 25, recently died during an outing this summer and the search for him was only recently called off. Another elderly man was found in the lake near Gyro beach last month and a fisherman near Rattlesnake Island also died. Another accident on McCulloch Lake took a life, and there were two deaths on Kalamalka Lake. “About half the fatalities in B.C. are in the Okanagan/Shushwap,” said Marrie. “We have regulations, and people need to follow them.”

SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS

RCMP AND TRANSPORT CANADA members have a chat and a safety check with three young men in a rented boat that was speeding over the posted limit. Among the infractions that are most readily available for enforcement officers to ticket, are locals who are without the proper safety equipment, such as paddles signals, rope and bailing devices. Worse yet, there are people who don’t wear their lifejackets. And, Marrie stressed,

it shouldn’t just be kids who are wearing them. While there’s nothing to force adults to wear lifejackets on boats larger than seadoo or jet-ski size, it’s something they strongly recommend. “We see boats where the children are wearing life jackets and the parents aren’t,” said Const. Steve

Holmes. “We tell them, if something happens to you, your children are going to live to see you die.” It’s an admittedly morbid message, but one Transport Canada officials and local police have seen the need for far too often, and heading into the Labour Day weekend hustle and bustle, they

want locals to keep that scenario, and other risks, top of mind. If not, be prepared to join the ranks of the 260 boats they sent back to shore for not being prepared. Worse yet, be among the 60 who received tickets totaling $16,000.

After a two year investigation, Mounties arrested two men in connection to the murder of Timothy Niven Tyler. Gerlinde Klumpp, 49, of Rock Creek, is being charged with robbery and obstructing justice while Geoffrey Moore, 53, formerly of Greenwood, is being charged with murder and robbery, Cpl. Annie Linteau said in a press release. Tyler was shot to death on his acreage near Beaverdell, two years ago Thursday. “He was involved in an outdoor marijuana grow-op on his property and it is believed he was killed while trying to protect his crop from being robbed by armed individuals,” said Linteau. The investigation was led by the RCMP South East District Major Crime Unit and assisted by members of the Midway RCMP Detachment. Klump and Moore were scheduled to appear in Kelowna Court House the first two days of September. Both suspects are known to police and Gerlinde Klumpp was known to the victim. Beaverdell is located approximately 70 kilometres southeast of Kelowna on Highway 33.

Two new homes under construction gutted in suspicious blaze Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

West Kelowna resident Nadean Wight watched the night sky light up early Thursday morning as two houses her company had been constructing for months went up in plumes of smoke. It’s not the most ideal economy for a contractor to take a hit, admitted the office manager of Pentar homes. But at this point every-

one impacted is just counting their blessings that the damage to Rosealee Lane and the surrounding area wasn’t worse, and are wondering who or what would have caused the damage. Investigators on the scene have deemed suspicious, said West Kelowna fire department’s Brian Collier, pointing put that the scent of accelerant was picked up by police dogs on the scene. “From the vantage point

I had, nearby where I live, it looked like the whole hillside was on fire,” said Wight, of the blaze that’s being investigated by RCMP, due to its suspicious nature. “The firefighters were phenomenal and it could have been a lot worse.” Pentar built the strata properties in sets of five, and the two homes that were ignited were both a little past the lock up stage of construction, she said, adding that meant the

electrical had just been rougedin. With flames taking those houses, it means that the company will face more of a setback, but the community was further protected from the spread of flames. “From where firefighters were, they were able to attack the flames from above and below,” she said. “If the houses across the street, that were just framed, caught on fire it would have

been a lot worse. “The grass would have taken off right behind it into the park, and it could have headed to Rose Valley elementary school.” Luckily, that didn’t happen although the company has sustained significant losses, which are by and large covered by construction insurance. “One of the (burned) houses was sold, and the owner lives in Edmonton, so her intent is to start it all again,” she

said, adding that two partially framed properties escaped mostly unscathed. “We also lost our mini excavator which was parked in front of one of the houses, and our electrician lost utility tools and supplies.” At this point the company just wants to clean up the mess as soon as soon as possible so they can build again. She also asks that anyone who saw anything suspicious report it to RCMP.

Back to school essentials

STAFF REPORTER

The dull days of fall are encroaching, reminding Okanaganites that it’s time for a bit of back-toschool shopping. Representatives from both the mall and the downtown shops are reporting a spike in business, as locals empty their pocketbooks to load up on necessities. “We’ve been extremely busy and we will continue to be busy up until September, when everyone goes back to school and finds out what’s new and hip and comes back to the mall,” Gelowitz summarized. “Our sales are right online with where they were last year—strong.” Downtown, the lay of the shopping season has a similar feel. “We will get a mini rush this weekend with the back to schoolers, then after that it’s what I like to call ‘crickets,’” said Rae-

If there’s a way to summarize coveted fashion items for the year ahead, it’s cozy. “I find that everyone is looking for the ultimate cozy sweater or wrap,” said Raegan Hall, owner of Blonde. Layering boyfriend blazers are also tops on most agendas as well, due to irrational Okanagan weather. Snugly uppers are well paired with the season’s other staple, jeggings—the result of a jean and legging marriage. “We don’t have any straight legs or wide legs, it’s trouser pants, leggings or jeggings.” And for those who are curious about which trousers to strut around the city in, Hall recommends the high waisted variety. “All my girls are wearing them and they’re great.” gan Hall, owner of Blonde on Bernard Avenue. While the silent-season is up ahead, Hall also noted that this year’s sales were far more robust than the previous summer when the recession took a bite out of retail life. “It was crazy this summer—better this summer than last,” she said. While news that the cheap days of the economic downturn are over her-

alds better days, an Ipsos Reid study on the subject isn’t on the same page. By their estimates, shopping habits continue to be changed from boom times and British Columbians are spending the same as last year, but are on the hunt for special deals, coupons, buying store brands and second hand goods. The majority of shoppers will continue to spend

less than $300 for all their back-to-school items this year and the median amount spent remains at $350 this year. Half of B.C. backto-school shoppers say they have spent or will be spending about the same amount on back-to-school items compared to the previous school year in 2010. One quarter spent or will be spending more while 14 per cent of shoppers spent or will be spending less than last year. The last 10 per cent didn’t have a clear view of where they’d be putting down their cash. While Ipsos Reid didn’t uncover an affluent mood among this province’s residents, Gelowitz said mall shop owners are expecting big things for next year, which will be aided by a swath of new stores taking their place in the mall, among them Best Buy, an electronics superstore. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

▼ SUICIDE PREVENTION DAY

Victims remembered in song Kelowna’s Suicide Prevention Committee says the deaths by suicide are on the rise. With nearly 4,000 Canadians dying by suicide in 2005, and numbers continuing to rise each year, the next victim might be a co-worker, a student in your child’s school, a family member, or a friend. World Suicide Prevention Day is Friday, Sept. 10, and Kelowna’s Suicide Prevention Committee is hosting a walk followed by an evening of music to mark the event. “Music is universal and each of us can often associate a moment in time with a piece of music,” the

committee says in a statement released to media this week. “On that note…we will share an hour of music and remembrances from survivors of suicide.” The committee is asking members of the public to come out and share in a walk that culminates in a remembrance service and to submit a song for the service. The walk will commence at the Sails on Bernard Avenue and walk along the boardwalk to the Yacht Club, then across Water Street, past the RCMP station and the library, across Ellis to the Unitarian Church, on to St. Paul Street and Cawston

Avenue. “Suicide deaths exact a tremendous and tragic psychological, social and economic cost every year, but the primary message we want to convey on World Suicide Prevention Day is that we can prevent suicide,” said professor Brian Mishara, president of the International Association for Suicide Prevention said in the committee’s statement. For more information or to submit a song for the World Suicide Prevention Day service, please contact committee member Linda Woods at 250-807-2487 or by email at lmw51@shaw.ca.

The free legal advicea-thon (www.advice-athon.ca) will allow access to justice for low- and modest-income people, including the homeless, by having lawyers advice scheduled and drop-in clients on all legal issues. In each free legal advice-a-thon location, volunteer lawyers will work in one or two-hour shifts

NEWS ▼ SYMPOSIUM

Rethinking water management Planning from A1 Though water resources are dealt with provincially, the question of who owns the water became a major talking point. Aside from the ownership issue, there is also a different cultural approach to navigate. “The First Nations sort of spoke to the need for traditional knowledge and how that was different to applying scientific knowledge to management,” said Nelson Jatel, water stewardship director of the OBWB. Jatel attended a portion of the conference and

said what he took from the discussions was that the approach will have to incorporate both avenues of knowledge. Protecting streams and riparian habitat has major economic implications, aside from the obvious environmental concerns, and he believes this science strategy will need to incorporate traditional knowledge from the First Nations involved in order to succeed— regardless of who wins out in the court battles. Bauer’s take on the events seemed to concur. “The time for fingerpointing is over,” he said.

“We, the public citizens, can’t continue to point to the federal government, the provincial government to say why haven’t you done this? “Local groups need to partner together to make decisions themselves and then call upon government to achieve those. “I think that’s the correct outcome of a democracy. “It’s not just voting people into place and saying why aren’t you doing anything,” he added. The overall tone of the three-day event, Bauer said, was optimistic. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

All in all, it should make public transit more desirable, which is something Mayor Sharon Shepherd has been looking forward to, for a long time. “It’s about getting people on and off the buses quickly, safely,” said Shepherd, adding that the issue really hit her radar during a mayor’s youth forum, where students highlighted their desire for an efficient system.

NEWS ▼ GOLF TOURNAMENT FUNDRAISER

▼ OUTDOORS

Helping youngster’s battle with leukemia Campfire ban now rescinded The Ugly Jacket Classic Golf Tournament started with some old friends getting together once a year starting with the wedding party for Brad Krauza, publisher of Gonzo Magazine, having a fun gathering and raising some money for charity at the same time. Since the 2003 Okanagan Mountain fire, Krauza has put on a few cancer fundraisers for self employed musicians with children, called Come Together for Musicians, helping those in need. This year, Krauza’s group is helping out a three-year-old girl

named Serenity, who is fighting leukemia, and her mom Sheri, who has had a little bit of help from her family since her daughter was first diagnosed but needs more help over the next year at least. None of us can even imagine if this were to happen to one of our children or anyone’s child, says Krauza. This is all about taking one main stress off of their already stressful situation and we all can make a difference in Serenity and her mom’s life right now, he says.

Sheri has been a single mom since the August before Serenity was diagnosed. Serenity was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia on Sept. 24, 2008. She started her treatments of chemotherapy the next day, at 21 months of age. For some eight months, Sheri and Serenity had to live in Vancouver at the Ronald McDonald House as Serenity underwent intense chemo treatments. In April 2009, the two were able to return home to Kelow-

na but Serenity still has to take her oral chemo pills three times a week and has to go to the hospital every four weeks for IV-fed chemo treatments and every two weeks for Pentamadine that helps her lungs against infections. Once every three months Serenity is required to get a spinal tap done at Children’s Hospital in Vancouver to make sure the leukemia cells are not evident in her spine.

Watch for it in * today’s paper

Those heading out camping for the Labour Day weekend will be allowed to spend their evenings huddled around a campfire. On Monday, the Ministry of Forests announced that the campfire ban in the Kamloops Fire Centre, which includes Kelowna, was being rescinded because of decreased risk of wildfires. Campfires must not be larger than half a metre wide or half a metre tall. Anyone who lights a campfire must have a hand tool such as a shovel, or at least eight litres of water, nearby to fully extinguish it. Never leave a campfire unattended, and make sure ashes are completely cold to the touch before leaving the area. Although small, contained campfires are now permitted, open fires of any other description remain prohibited. This prohibition includes fireworks and burning barrels.

The rescinding of the prohibition applies to all B.C. Parks, Crown and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of local governments that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by a fire department. Please check with civic authorities for any restrictions before lighting a fire. Anyone found in violation of an open fire ban may be issued a ticket for $345. Should a wildfire occur as a result of recklessness, a person can be fined up to $1 million or spend three years in prison and be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs. The Kamloops Fire Centre extends from the northern border of Wells Gray Park, north of Blue River to the U.S. border in the south, and from the Bridge River Glacier west of Goldbridge to the Monashee Mountains east of Lumby.

NEWS ▼ UBC OKANAGAN

University celebrates 5th birthday with Community Day UBC’s Okanagan campus will hold a special Community Day on Sept. 18. Okanagan residents are invited to enjoy a Saturday full of fun and informative public events celebrating the campus’s fifth anniversary. “People of all ages are invited to join us on Community Day,” said Doug Owram, deputy vicechancellor and principal of UBCO.

“We very much appreciate the strong support we have received from the community as we have expanded our institution and are building a nationally and internationally known university in the Okanagan. “We hope everyone can join us to celebrate our collective success. “If you haven’t visited the university this is a great opportunity to see what your UBC campus looks like and what our faculty, staff, alumni and students are doing, both locally and globally.” Community Day will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. throughout the campus. Highlights will include: • Out-of-the-box art activities for the kids • Innovative cooking demos featuring fresh, local food • A scavenger hunt—exploring everything from ice age animals to human simulators • Centre stage performances from talented students, faculty and staff • Compelling talks from four of Canada’s top researchers • UBC Okanagan Heat women’s and men’s soccer teams in action against the Quest University Kermodes. “It’s hard to believe it’s been five years since the doors to UBC’s Okanagan campus first swung open with a flurry of students and all the promise that breakthrough teaching, learning and research can bring,” said Bonnie Bates Gibbs, director of alumni and university relations.

“We share in a great success story and, if you haven’t had a chance yet to take it all in, this is it.

“On September 18, the doors swing wide open once again as we strut our stuff and extend a heartfelt

thank you to the people of the Okanagan—our partners and friends.” Other special fifth-

birthday treats will include A Distinguished Speakers Series presentation featuring Richard Flori-

da on Sept. 10, 7 p.m., in the Ballroom of the Delta Grand Okanagan. Some seats to this free event are

still available but early registration online is required at www.ubc.ca/ okanagan/speakers.

NEWS ▼ SUMMER VACATION

Behind the wheel of an RV O

ne must wear round, wirerimmed, purple sunglasses to truly appreciate our vintage motorhome. The burnt orange colour, popular of the decorator-challenged 1970s, is evident in the upholstery, tabletops and even the elegant opaque plastic inserts in the walls. There are more leaks than the Pentagon. Fortunately, duct tape is a standard supply product. It is our comfortable, yet unpredictable, home when we take to the roads on vacation. Before each trip, I do my best gift-like wrap job on the roof vents. These have been strategically designed to fly off during the trip, so they need to be secured with several layers of duct tape. But, it only lasts for so long. As we’re barrelling along the highway, my 12-year-old daughter and co-pilot announces: “Moooom. I think the roof vent is loose.” “Which one is…” “Oh—there it goes.” “Is there anyone behind us?” “I can’t tell.” A shirt or book or game with lots of pieces usually jumps to its death from an upper cupboard where the lock has jiggled loose. It makes for an ex-

NUTSHELL

Shelley Nicholl citing ride. The best thing about travelling in a motorhome is that you can send children back to get snacks and drinks or the map that has slipped down the floor as you whipped around a corner. My children used to enjoy the adventure of grabbing things for me, but I discovered that some of that novelty has deteriorated as the children have aged. With my daughter in the front bucket seat beside me, I thought I’d give her a chance to do the running. “Dear, could you get me a bottle of water from the fridge?” The eyes roll, the sigh is heavy and shoulders slump in a moody reaction to the request. “Why can’t you get it? You’re as close as me.” “I’m driving.” “So?” “I’m thirsty.” “But, I’ll have to unplug my earphones.” “Well, I’d have to smash into the car in front of me or go off a cliff…so

I guess it should be you.” My co-pilot was also in need of training for the backing into the campsite part of the vacation. I’ve seen marriages teeter on the brink when spouses try to do this. The problem is the driver is quite helpless in certain areas. Blind spots are everywhere. Someone always puts the picnic table where it must be run over. It’s an easy fix to move it, but you still have to get out. What’s really annoying, though, is that for some reason campsites for RV are always designed with trees located in such a pattern that you have to come within a few inches of them. There is no meterwide leeway on either side. It’s centimetres. It’s kind of like leading an elephant with a blindfold along a narrow, weaving path with cliffs on either side. My pre-teen co-pilot jumped out to help me with only about three “do I have tos?” She did the first error of motorhome backing up. She put herself in the blindspot. I’m afraid it just doesn’t look good to drive over your own child. She finally got the hang of it and went on one side with her hand waving to keep com-

Suddenly her hand went flat and she shouted, “Stop.” “We’re only about halfway,” I say. “I think there’s a tree in the way.” I jump out and discover there is, indeed, a substantial, 16-inch diameter fir tree gently hugging the back of my motorhome. One half inch more of forceful driving and I might be considered a logger. “Why didn’t you guide me over to the left?” “(Exasperated) I didn’t want you to go over the edge.” “But, I can’t hit the tree!” “Well, I don’t know!” Several tries later, darkness begins to descend, adding more fun to the challenge. Finally, we are in. All that’s left to do is hook up the electrical cord. That’s when we discover the outlet in the site is on the other side of the motorhome and we forgot the extension cord.

poverty will be a thing of the past until psychiatric and addiction treatments are available and accessible to all who need them. Recently, the Canadian Psychiatric Association strongly endorsed two initiatives aiming to target homelessness in our country. The first was a senate report entitled In from the Margins: A Call for Action on Poverty, Housing and Homelessness, which emphasizes a need to break the cycle of poverty in Canada through 72 recommendations. Some of the recommendations include establishing a national goal to eradicate poverty and homelessness; increasing support to welfare recipients; and establishing a national housing strategy. Second, the CPA wrote in support of bill C-304, which is a proposed bill to ensure affordable housing for all Canadians.

Although the rate has dropped for the past few years, it remains the highest in the country with just over 10 per cent of B.C. children living in poverty. Children in poverty have less opportunity to break the cycle themselves as they grow up. While other provinces have implemented poverty reduction strategies, B.C. has not. I believe we need to put something in place so our efforts can be coordinated and we can continue attempting more innovative programs to deal with poverty and all the issues surrounding it.

OUTDOORS

National parks have their good sides and not-so-good sides TRAIL MIX

Judie Steeves

he first signs were just a little bit intimidating, with large warnings about not stopping unless you’d already purchased a park pass. Imagine that, I thought. I helped create and maintain this wilderness park with decades and decades of contributions from my hardearned money paid in taxes, and now I can’t stop and look at it; can’t put a foot on it on my way by— and my kids won’t be able to afford to either! A national parks pass, called a Discovery Pass, costs $67.70 a person annually, or $136.40 for a family group. Daily passes are $9.80 for an adult and $19.60 for a family group. It costs additional money to go fishing (even if you already have a fishing licence), camping (overnight or even for the day), to light a fire, use a dump station, or to avail yourself of any of the special programs. Hunting is not permitted in national parks. Without that pass, even if you’re just driving through, according to the Parks Canada website, you can’t stop at a picnic site or viewpoint, visit Lake Louise, Field, Banff or Jasper. I must confess it’s been many years since I was anywhere near one of our national parks, so I was just a little taken aback when—with a feeling of some excitement—I entered the first of a string of four national parks on my way to Alberta last week and was confronted with the sign. As I realized the ramifications of it, it was followed by some others explaining some of the other restrictions on just being in a national park. I was afraid to stop the car and take a photo and wondered what would happen if I let my foot touch the ground if we stopped to switch drivers. Despite the warnings on the Parks Canada web-

JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS

THIS MUCH-PHOTOGRAPHED glacier in the background and Lake Louise in the foreground were swarming with tourists last week, many from countries other than Canada, but I wonder how many Canadians get to see it. site, I did make a brief detour off the Trans Canada Highway to see Lake Louise, although I only stopped for a few minutes to snap some quick photos. What an experience for the visitor driving through from Alberta to B.C., to be confronted by those uninviting signs warning you not to stop, without first purchasing what would amount to $20 worth of passes, whether you’re just two

adults or a family of seven—and even if it’s just for a brief stop. The fact one pass is good in Mount Revelstoke, Yoho, Glacier or Banff National Parks, made me not one whit more eager to purchase one on my way through. I have black and white pictures of Mom and Dad, from half a century ago, in front of that classic image of the glacier in the background and Lake Louise in the foreground.

They’re looking suitably wooden, but smiley for the camera, and the background is the same as all those calendar shots of Lake Louise. So, I wanted to see the real thing on my way through. The Rogers Pass highway was opened in 1962, and I seem to recall Dad was intrigued enough that we took a summer holiday there to see it, but I honestly can’t recall being overly impressed. I guess

it was an age thing. On the other hand, this time, I was impressed with the way all the national parks were tended and even with the new bridge built over the Kicking Horse River a few years ago. But, the most awe-inspiring aspect of the trip had to be those peaks, both in the Purcell and Selkirk Ranges and the Rocky Mountains. Wow. In the past, I’ve referred to the bumps

around Kelowna as mountains, but they’re certainly not compared to the sharp, high peaks we drove through to reach Calgary. Then, I was awed by how flat the Prairies are and how much sky you can see. The word horizon takes on a different meaning. One of the most interesting aspects to travel is the opportunity it provides to see your own home through a new lens.

I applied the national park lens to the Okanagan, and I’m not sure I would want such restrictions put on lands I’m accustomed to roaming at will, without charge, whether it be fishing, hiking, camping, hunting, flying or ranching. And, I can understand the reluctance of ranchers and others in the Okanagan who have reservations about designating lands for which there are already many traditional uses, a national park, with all that would entail. I think there must be better ways to protect and preserve important natural aspects of this valley, and I think that should be done throughout the valley, not just in the south. It’s one thing to set aside a large tract of wilderness as a national park, but it’s quite another to try and pry the fingers of all who already use and hold those lands in their own way, off an area in order to create a new national park of it. I mean, Banff National Park was established in 1885, Yoho and Glacier in 1886, Mount Revelstoke in 1914 and nearby Kootenay National Park in 1920. It would have been a much simpler undertaking to alienate those lands then, than a century later. Yet, apparently, the effort to create a national park in the South Okanagan continues, although the size of land Parks Canada is focused on has decreased now to two areas: around Vaseux Lake and between the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys, around the South Okanagan Grasslands Protected Area. (Since it’s already protected by the provincial government, I’m not sure why federal protection is needed as well.) In fact, despite my brief experiences with four national parks in the past week, I have yet to be convinced that a national park in the South Okanagan is the route to go to preserve Okanagan wildlife habitat—even though I strongly support habitat protection and conservation.

ou know the job market is tight when college and university enrolments take off. This past week at Okanagan College, we have witnessed a 19 per cent increase in registrations and we still have three weeks to go. Virtually all programs show higher first-year enrolments compared to last year’s data. UBC Okanagan has also had enrolment in-

past Grade 12 and adults who have been away from school are now deciding to pursue a post-secondary credential. Although this is good news to both our provincial and federal governments—who want to see more Canadians achieve a post-secondary education—it doesn’t say much about the state of our economy. What it does tell us is that Canadians are willing to be educated to meet the

changing needs of our labour market. As jobs disappear and new jobs are created, labour markets need to modify their pool of available workers—education is the only means in which societies can make this adjustment. This adjustment is probably why the largest enrolments at Okanagan College are in our Adult Academic and Career Preparation department right now, sitting at

a 20 per cent increase. This department provides adults returning to school the opportunity to complete Adult Basic Education courses to meet the admission requirements to just about any post-secondary program in the province of B.C. or Canada. Most often students will enter this program and complete their English 12, Mathematics 12 or 11, or a number of science courses such as Biol-

ogy 12 which is required for nursing. Depending on your educational background, many students take a combination of Adult Basic Education courses with college courses. A prime example of this is all those students who just didn’t excel or realize the importance of mathematics when they were in high school years ago or their mathematics is so rusty that they need a refresher course. These students will often enroll in our Associate of Science degree, complete some of their courses and at the same time upgrade their math skills. Adult Basic Education courses are tuition-free which means that students only have to pay their student association fees and other college fees which are nominal. Enrolments in Adult Basic Education signify a further upward shift where your average college or university student is no longer 20 years old but range from anywhere from 25 and beyond.

Nicotine fit kicks passenger off plane An Ontario man got a police escort off a plane at the Kelowna airport after he was discovered having a clandestine smoke on board an airplane in flight. The 51-year-old man smoked twice in the lavatory on board a flight from Toronto to Kelowna, police said.

year at Okanagan College shows that 60 per cent of our students were older than 25. About 26 per cent of our students are between the ages of 35 and 54. We even have one student who is 94 years of age. Today over 440,000 students are enrolled in B.C.’s public post-secondary colleges, universities and technical institutions. More than 24,000 of these students are international and another 21,000 have identified themselves as aboriginal—this is the largest number of aboriginal students since 2003. Overall these numbers show us that more and more students are considering a post-secondary education, that B.C. is a place that attracts international students and government and post-secondary institutions efforts to increase aboriginal participation rates are working.

Police said they gave the man a “stern reprimand” after escorting him off the plane. Smoking on board commercial planes is prohibited, but WestJet staff did not pursue charges under the Aeronautics Act so the man was allowed to continue on his way.

A good workout still the best prescription for the blues W hat to expect the day of and after a work-

out? I believe the day after a workout, you should feel soreness in the muscle you were training. This is especially true if you are a beginner but even the most devoted professional body builder should experience discomfort. The soreness indicates you’ve worked your muscles properly and lactic acid and microscopic tears are present. Take note as well as to whether or not you focused on the muscles you

be experiencing hunger pangs the moment you drop the weights on the floor for someone else to clean up (sorry—pet peeve). If hunger kicks in as your workout is ending could be a sign that your blood-glucose levels are dropping and that you have not eaten properly within the past day. This is an indicator to drop the intensity level back a notch next time until you learn to feed your body better.

A good sign of a challenged muscle, which is the goal of an effective workout, is the mild post work-out trembling. Many novices mistakenly consider this a sign of weakness.

tion. Bylaws are not cast in stone. Owners representing 20 per cent of the corporation can request a special general meeting to repeal any bylaw. As long as a quorum representing one third of all eligible voters attend the meeting in person or by proxy, a 75 per cent majority vote will strike down the bylaw. For example, in a 30unit strata, it is possible that as few as eight eligible voters can change one, or all the corporation’s bylaws. Owners should be aware of their strata’s bylaws to avoid conflict and the possibility of being subject to fines. In addition, some enlightened condo corporations have bylaw committees that review the rules and regulations to ensure they reflect the wishes of the majority of the owners, while protecting the community’s assets.

years. Since each corporation reflects the culture of the community, their bylaws tend to mirror the mood of the majority of members. New bylaws and amendments require a 75 per cent majority vote for approval. Under the ‘Use of Property’ provisions of the SPA, corporations will typically pass the following amendment: “An owner, tenant, occupant or visitor must not drop, throw, hang or suspend anything from windows, doors, decks, railings or any portion of common property, including limited common property.” Given the broad sweep of the language “anything” could include laundry, cats and dogs and even the Canadian flag. However, just like any other law, strata bylaws can, and have been challenged in the courts. Depending on the nature of the bylaw, challenges can be made under other legislation such as the Human Rights Code and the Personal Information Protection Act. Anyone seeking relief from a bylaw should contact a lawyer for advice. Alternatively, there could be a political solu-

To celebrate a new Habitat For Humanity home building project in West Kelowna, a brief ground-breaking ceremony will be held Wednesday, Sept. 8, starting at 5 p.m. “Our ground-breaking ceremony marks a new beginning for our two new partner families,” said Brigitte Reimer, chairperson of Habitat For Humanity Kelowna. “They will be able to buy a simple, decent home and also have the satisfaction of helping to build it themselves.” Habitat plans to build two duplexes, one this year and one next year. As with all Habitat for Humanity projects, volunteers and donations will help the non-profit organization build the homes, which will be sold to lowincome families with children. HFH Kelowna has commenced a community fundraising drive to cover building costs.

The mortgages paid by the partner families will in turn fund future Habitat homes. HFH Kelowna has received funding support from MacKay LLP chartered accountants, The Home Depot Canada Foundation, Gord Turner Renovations, and the Delta Grand Okanagan, among others. Traditional native dancing and a traditional blessing are planned as part of the ground breaking festivities. The Habitat build site is on Elk Road near East Boundary Road. An orientation and safety meeting for persons interested in getting involved in the build will be held at the Westbank United Church (Multipurpose room) at 7:30 on Wednesday. Volunteers must be 16 years of age or older and for some tasks must have steel-toed safety boots. For more information, see www.habitatforhumanitykelowna.ca.

WHL vets bolster Rockets D Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS

OVER-AGER BRENDON WALL was acquired from Prince Albert during the off season to add depth and experience to the Rockets defensive corps.

Thanks to his extended family, Brendon Wall already had ties to the Okanagan. Now as a member of the Western Hockey League’s Rockets, the 20-year-old defenceman’s connection to Kelowna is complete. “I’ve been here to visit family before, I love the city, and I know how great the fans are and that the organization is first class,” said Wall, a native of Saskatoon who has a cousin living in Kelowna. “I knew there was a chance I might be going somewhere for my final year. I’m just really glad it was Kelowna. I don’t think there could be a better situation for me.” Wall will spend his fourth and final season of junior hockey in Kelowna after the Rockets acquired the 6-foot-1 rearguard from the Prince Albert Raiders last month. The Rockets dealt for both Wall and fellow blue liner Kevin Smith, 19, this summer to help stabilize a

young defensive corps in 2010-11. Wall, who started his major junior career with the Saskatoon Blades in 2007, classifies himself as a stay-at-home defenceman but is committed to shouldering whatever duties the coaches have in store for him. “I’ll be anything they want me to be,” Wall said with a smile. “I feel like I’m a well-rounded player, I look after my own end first, but I like to think I can jump up an contribute offensively as well. I’m here to help the team in whatever way I can.” Smith, a Vancouver native, came over from the Moose Jaw Warriors in August in a one-for-one swap for Collin Bowman. The 6-foot-2 195 pound Smith has more of an offensive bent to his game than Wall—he notched seven goals and 24 points last season with the Warriors. With 169 games of WHL experience under his belt, Smith will also be looked to for leadership. “They’ve told me I’m coming into fill a leader-

Kevin Smith ship role, so I’m going to do the best I can to help the younger guys out,” said Smith. “I know we have a young team, but at the same time we have a lot of top players, a lot of guys coming back...Hopefully we can get things pointed in the right direction from the start and go far in the playoffs.” In addition to providing a measure of stability and experience, Wall and Smith will also serve as an insurance policy of sorts in the event WHL defenceman of the year Tyson Barrie doesn’t return from the camp of the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche. In the eyes of Rockets assistant coach Dan Lam-

bert, the addition of two seasoned veterans helps to bolster a young defensive corps that has taken some considerable strides in the last 12 months—including Colton Jobke, Antoine Corbin and Mitchell Chapman. With many of the growing pains of 200910 now in the past, Lambert said much more will be expected from the back end. “Some of the young guys we had last year look extremely good in camp, they all worked hard in the summer, and getting to play last year showed them what it takes to get to the next level,” said Lambert. “Last year there weren’t a lot of expectations because we were so young. This year we’re going to want to push them to be a lot better and at the end of the day we’re going to expect more.” As for Wall and Smith, Lambert expects both vets will adapt to their new surroundings and quickly become vital p layers, both on and off the ice.

Hockey trumps baseball for Rockets prospect Bowey Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Madison Bowey traded in his ball glove for a hockey stick this week. The 15-year-old defenceman from Winnipeg was a late arrival at Kelowna Rockets training camp Wednesday after playing outfield for Team Manitoba at the Canadian bantam baseball championship in Ontario. The Rockets’ secondround choice in the 2010

WHL bantam draft, the two-sport athlete has no reservations about which game is No. 1. “Hockey is my sport,” said Bowey. “I play baseball in the summer for fun, it’s more of a hobby. Hockey, I’m serious about it. It’s the game I want to play and the one I want to make a living at when I’m older.” While baseball kept Bowey away from rookie camp last week, he’s hoping to make up for lost

his first year of midget AAA hockey. His inaugural major junior camp has also been a fact-finding mission for Bowey who has yet to decide on whether the Western Hockey League or the NCAA is the best route to take. “Right now I’m swinging back and forth between the WHL and college, but I still have time to think about it,” said Bowey who had 57 points in 28 games for the bantam AAA Win-

nipeg Monarchs last season. “In the WHL you get a lot of exposure, you have someone like (GM) Bruce Hamilton here who is very successful and a team that develops pro defencemen…the WHL is one of the best ways to get to the NHL. “College would give me a lot more time to develop and more focus would be on education.” he continued. “I have to consider both.

Still, player personnel director Lorne Frey accepts that like many young players of the day, Bowey plans to carefully examine all of his opportunities. “That’s the way it is for a lot of young players now, they want to keep their options open and we

For the first time, UBC Okanagan Heat varsity sports teams will enter a new season with four fulltime head coaches. The UBCO athletic department announced this week that women’s volleyball coach Steve Manuel will be joined as a full-time coach by Heather Semeniuk (women’s basketball), Darren Semeniuk (men’s basketball), and Greg Poitras (men’s volleyball). The volleyball and basketball teams will play one more season in the B.C. Colleges Athletics Association before moving into Canadian Interuniversity Sport in the fall of 2011. “I believe we have hired exceptional coaches to lead our teams,” says Rob Johnson, Director of Athletics at UBC’s Okanagan campus. “Previously, as part-time coaches, they have worked very hard to develop programs strong enough to compete in Canada West.” Johnson said the four coaches have compiled an impressive track record since UBC’s Okanagan campus opened its doors in 2005. The volleyball and basketball teams have won medals—including six gold— in 16 of the 19 provincial championships attended. In that same five-year span, the teams also won more than threequarters of their league games, boasting a robust

In that time, Manuel has brought success to the Heat program as his women’s volleyball team has captured back-to-back provincial and national

championships. “Having full-time coaches will greatly benefit our programs, our student athletes and the local sport community as a whole,” said Manuel. “Having more fulltime dedicated coaching professionals will only strengthen athletics in the Okanagan.” Heather Semeniuk has coached at the university for 16 years, and is looking forward to having more time to spend with the student-athletes coaching and addressing their individual needs.

Heat host King’s in pre-season action The UBCO women’s soccer squad will continue to tune up for the 2010 BCCAA season this weekend with a pair of exhibition games on its home pitch. The Heat will take on King’s University College from Edmonton on Saturday at noon, then again Sunday at 10 a.m. UBCO is coming off a 2-1 showing at the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns tournament last weekend. The Heat opened Saturday morning with 2-1 win over the host Pronghorns with Alexa Kennedy slotting the game winner in the final minute. Jennifer Kidd also scored for the Heat.

In Game 2, with little time to recover and playing on a grass pitch for the first time this season, a tired UBCO squad lost 3-2 to the NAIT Ooks from Edmonton. Kennedy made the goals for the Heat in the 56th and 70th minutes. On Sunday, the Heat rolled over the Lethbridge College Kodiaks 5-0. Emma Nixon and Alexa Kennedy scored two goals each, with the fifth goal in question. Alexa and Emma combined to score the final marker as the scorer was unable to determine if Kennedy’s initial shot went in before Nixon tapped it across the line. The Heat’s first home

games of the BCCAA season will be Saturday, Sept. 18 against Quest University Kermodes, and Sunday, Sept. 19 vs. Vancouver Island U.

The UBC Okanagan men came up empty in three exhibition games, but gained some valuable experience last weekend south of the border. In the opener Friday at Puget Sound, Wash., the Heat lost 2-0 to the St. Martin’s University Saints. On Saturday, the Puget Sound Loggers outscored the Heat 6-3. Lars Seitzinger, Greg Karogiannis, and Nick Kmet tallied for UBCO.

On Sunday, the Heat fell short 4-3 to Pacific Lutheran University. Seitzinger scored twice, with Zach Hall adding the other. Although the Heat came away without a victory the coaches thought this was a positive trip for a couple of reasons. “I am disappointed in the fact that we went all the way to the U.S. and we were unable to come away with a victory but this weekend was a great weekend of soccer,” said coach Justin Boersma. The Heat’s first BCCAA home games are Saturday, Sept. 18 and Sunday, Sept. 19 against Quest University and VIU.

Two Stevens good for Sun The two Stevens performed admirably in the Okanagan Sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 53-7 victory over the Kamloops Broncos Saturday night. Steven Doege has been named the defensive player of the week in the B.C. Football Conference, while Steven Shott grabbed special teams honours for the second week in a row. Doege, a graduate of Rutland Secondary, continued his dominant play along the defensive line with three sacks, one solo tackle, one assist and one forced fumble. Shott was 5-for-7 in field goals, hitting from

16, 24, 27, 30 and 45 yards out and was 8-for-8 in converts. Shott also added five punts for 193 yards and tallied a single, while his six kick-offs totalled 376 yards. Shott would ac-

count for 24 of the Sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 53 points Saturday night at the Apple Bowl. The Sun return to action Sunday, Sept. 12 when they host the Chilliwack Huskers at the Apple Bowl.

Mosca dines with Sun CFL legend Angelo Mosca is the key note speaker at the Okanagan Sun scholarship dinner Friday, Oct. 8 at the Coast Capri Hotel in Kelowna. The graduate of Notre Dame University is a five-time Grey Cup winner, a five-time CFL all star and a member of the Canadian Football League â&#x20AC;&#x153;Top 50 Players of the Modern eraâ&#x20AC;? according to TSN. He is famousâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or perhaps infamousâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;for the 51st Grey Cup game outof-bounds and late hit on B.C. Lions star Willie Fleming. The hit was considered by many to be a deliberate attempt to knock Fleming out of the game. With Fleming sidelined, the Tiger-Cats went on to with the Grey Cup and Angelo Moscaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation as being the meanest professional football player was so-

lidified. It was a reputation he later promoted as the notorious professional wrestler â&#x20AC;&#x153;King Kongâ&#x20AC;? Mosca. Mosca is currently an ambassador with the Hamilton Tigercats. Angelo is well known on the speakers circuit and is renowned for his stories from the CFL and wrestling world. All proceeds from the scholarship dinner benefit the Okanagan Sun player education fund that allows the Sun to field a championship team while providing an education for our players. Tickets to the event are $150. You may also secure your own table of 8 for $1200 To order and pay online, visit the Okanagan Sun store, or contact dinner chairman Les Weiss at 250-859-5603

Falconsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pitcher Quist, outfielder Chism among West Coast all-stars Two members of the Kelowna Falcons have been named to the West Coast Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 allstar team. Dayne Quist was tabbed as the first team starting pitcher, while Tyler Chism gained recognition in the outfield. The left-handed Quist tied a Falcons single season team record for wins

as he finished 6-1. He would compile a league best 1.40 ERA while striking out 50 batters. During the summer Quist faced 207 batters and held them to a .182 average. He allowed just eight earned runs on 33 hits over the course of 51.1 innings pitched. Quist will be a junior at the University of California-Davis this fall

and is eligible to return to Kelowna next summer. Chism set a new Falcons single season record with 55 hits and compiled a .314 batting average. He had 12 doubles, two homeruns, 24 RBIs, stole 12 bags and scored 36 runs. Chismâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 55 hits were the fourth most in the WCL. He will be a senior at Gonzaga this fall

and will enter the Major League Baseball Draft in June. Three Falcons were also named to the AllWCL honourable mention team: Jordan Westra, who set a new Falcons franchise record with 10 saves; Ben Edelstein who had the second best league batting average, hitting .347; and Brian Wolfe who finished hitting .311 with three doubles, one

Poitras will work on taking his team to the next level as he prepares to enter play in Canada West next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The student athletes we have recruited to our program have been better and better every year, and because of this our program must meet the demands of these elite student-athletes,â&#x20AC;? Poitras said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The university hiring full-time coaches this year is a giant step in the right direction in delivering to these student-athletes.â&#x20AC;?

HEDLEY (Chris Crippin, left, Jacob Hoggard, Tommy MacDonald and Dave Rosin) performs at Prospera Place in Kelowna on Sept. 14.

Local tour, followed by the world Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

If the lawless little South Similkameen town of Hedley had never been put up for sale by its residents, Canadian pop/rock fans might know the band by a different name. It’s one of the first things Hedley drummer Chris Crippin points out in an interview to promote their upcoming Kelowna tour stop, but four years into their celebrity, with three hit Canadian CDs to their name, the story of how Hedley came to be named Hedley has run its course. When asked yet again about the name, he simply points out they’re filling a hole in a particularly lonesome portion of the rock alphabet. “It’s a great name because it sounds cool,” says Crippin, moving on to talk about his love of snowboarding and the

business of selling music south of the border. This is a bit of a shame, as the story of the town that would sell itself for roughly a third the price of a Vancouver house, was a cool hook for Kelowna, just a hop, skip and a jump away. Once known as a lawless haven dubbed “deadly Hedley” for the unseemly number of run-ins its residents had just beyond the easy reach of the RCMP, one somewhat wishes the band had made more of the hardhat sporting beaver who fronts Hedley’s Mascot Mine or the golden opportunity its dirty reputation might present. The beaver is one of Canada’s favourite pop culture metaphors, after all, and witty quips are what the band Hedley is all about. Witty, if slightly vapid remarks dovetailed by catchy chorus phrases

have rocketed Hedley to the top of the charts. Just read through their top-10 Canadian Hot 100 hit Cha-Ching and you’ll see they play the formula well. “If you wanna go far, if you wanna be a star, ya we can swing it chaching.” Whether they “take off all their clothes and strike a playboy pose” on tour remains to be seen, but Crippin promises quite the show. To work outside North America, the band has to make this tour a hit by mid-October when they go south of the border, something they thought of when drawing out plans for more elaborate staging. “If the States doesn’t really crack, then the rest of the world isn’t really financially feasible,” said Crippin, explaining the option is on the table, so they’re going

9PM

to make this one count. Speaking from his Burnaby apartment, some 15 storeys up, with a soundscape of car alarms and muffled jet engines, he talks about their coollooking instruments and the video vignettes of the band as concert backdrop. Like any good music business veteran he aptly slips in the “upcoming announcement”—testament to the marketing machine. Fans are to watch the site www.hedleyonline.com in the next two weeks for an announcement that will affect the show, he says. Reading between the lines, there may be a live taping involved, perhaps a video, but Crippin will give away no more. Jovial, upbeat and polite almost to a fault, he simply adds he’s “stoked for people to see the show.” “I think people are really going to dig it,” he

says. Being from Vancouver, Crippin has a Kelowna connection. His mother grew up here and he has some distant relatives somewhere in the city. His impressions of the area are pretty typical though. “It’s on fire a lot in the summer,” he says adding “everybody knows to not toss their cigarettes.” He says he’s heard there is great snow but success has come at a price. He can no longer take a test-run on our famous powder as rockstar drummers need to protect their wrists. Hedley may not be much more than a cool name at this point, but there’s a certain appeal to the band. Hedley plays Prospera Place Sept. 14 at 7:30 p.m. For tickets go to www.selectyourtickets.com.

Chilly nights mean a return to hearty meals T

he cool nights and hints of fall’s arrival in the air definitely have an impact on our menu selections. Comfort food has suddenly arrived back on my list of cravings after being left behind last spring, and nothing screams comfort food like pasta. Where to go for a soul-satisfying bowl of pasta? Ricardo’s Mediterranean Kitchen. We adore this cozy eatery located just outside of Lake Country. Owners Ricardo and Sue, along with the family, welcome you into their restaurant as though it were their own home. The food is homemade Italian prepared by Ricardo, with a little help from his momma. Momma Concetta actually makes the addictive meatballs for the delicious Spaghetti and Meatball dish.

Jennifer Schell The wine list is fantastic with local and international to choose from. There is a funky patio area outside to linger on and even live jazz music on Thursday nights (Jazz night also offers $5 off a bottle of vino). So, what more can you ask for? Ricardo’s is an escape to another world (Italian of course) and is one that you might want to disappear into at least weekly. Ricardo and Sue will be hosting a special dinner during the Fall Wine Festival with CedarCreek Winery on Oct. 6. $125

SIMPLE, soul-satisfying pasta at Ricardo’s Mediterranean Kitchen. will get you a beautiful, multi-course, wine-paired Italian dinner. Go to www.ricardos.ca for ticket information.

There has been so much going on in the Okanagan food and wine world these days I don’t know where to start. First of all, the second annual Feast of Fields, recently held on beautiful Brock Farm in Okanagan Falls this year, was an absolutely brilliant success. For those of you who did not attend, I urge you to reconsider for next year. This culinary extravaganza presents you with the very best food and wine that our beautiful Valley has to offer, all on display at a show-stopping outdoor venue. One of my favourite tastes of the day was created by chef Jesse Croy from Summerhill’s Sunset Bistro. It was a Garden Tomato (heirloom & organic of course) & Balsamic Caramel “Candy Apple”—sigh. If you are in need of a road trip, I suggest heading to Parry Bay Sheep Farm in magical Metchosin on Vancouver Island Sept. 19 to attend their Feast of Fields. For more information go to: www. farmfolkcityfolk.ca. I have a special love for the Similkameen Valley. The soaring moun-

tains, the cozy villages, the warm people and, of course, the magic that comes forth from their soil. The Similkameen Valley, home to the town of Cawston, (which is actually the organic farming capital of Canada) offers an incredible array of some of our best, award winning wineries. From Seven Stones, Herder, Orofino, Eau Vivre to Crowsnest Vineyards to fruit wineries like Forbidden Fruit and Rustic Roots, visitors are thrilled and amazed at the quality concentrated in this charming community. Upcoming events: • Taste of the Similkameen at the Grist Mill on Sept. 12. www.similkameenwine.com • The Harvest Festival at Rustic Roots on Oct. 2. • Oktoberfest at Crowsnest Vineyards—Sept 18. www.crowsnestvineyards.com • The 12th annual Rabbitfeast at Crowsnest Vineyards—Oct 2. www. crowsnestvineyards.com Jennifer Schell is editor of B.C.

’m tired of being asked to sponsor every golf tournament and gala out there.” “I moved to this community to enjoy retirement. Getting involved in community just isn’t a priority for me.” These statements imply a ‘take it or leave it’ attitude, but it is not really that simple. Kelowna Community Resources released a report outlining the essential impact of nonprofits in our economy. “To put things in perspective, paid employees in the sector outnumber the total combined workforces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador”, states the HR Council website (http:hrcouncil. ca). In B.C., paid employment in the nonprofit sector is larger than the B.C. construction industry. It is also bigger than the combined industries of forestry, fishing and mining/oil and gas extraction.

Puzzling response to Tamil migrants In a nation where it’s estimated that 41 per cent of residents are first- and second-generation immigrants, it’s difficult to comprehend the vitriolic—and offen inaccurate—comments being said about the Tamil migrants that landed on B.C.’s shoreline. Earlier this month, 492 people from Sri Lanka arrived off the coast of B.C. aboard the MV Sun Sea. A recent Angus Reid Poll reported that 83 per cent of Canadians were upset that the Tamil migrants jumped the im-

migration queue; 63 per cent wanted Canada to turn the MV Sun Sea away; and just 35 per cent would allow the Tamil migrants to claim refugee status. First off, there has been no “queue-jumping.” Refugees, unlike immigrants, can claim status at any point of entry in Canada—including airports, the U.S.Canada border, or in the Tamils’ case, in Canadian waters—at any time and without advance notice. Queues are in place for

MAIN SWITCHBOARD

would-be Canadians abroad (ie. skilled workers or investors) who are in safe enough situations to be able to fill out forms and send in applications. Refugees are fleeing desperate conditions that put the lives of themselves and their families at risk. As for turning the boat away, the Tamils have been incarcerated, their backgrounds will be investigated – including allegations of terrorist links and people-smuggling activity. Canada is not awash in refu-

gees, accepting less than 20,000 annually. Meanwhile, 20 million people displaced from their homes around the world are taken in by poverty-stricken countries in Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. With all of our wealth, Canada accepts less than 0.01 per cent of global refugees. As for “allowing” the migrants to claim refugee status, as a signatory to several international agreements, Canada has a legal—if not moral—obligation to review all refugee claims.

Even Aussies, deep down, can relate to stuffy Monarchy

everence for the monarchy was developed during kindergarten. That year I, along with all of my classmates, would set the stage for a round of O’ Canada with the significantly more catchy God Save the Queen. For some it was just a song. For me it was a minute to fantasize about all the wondrous situations where I, too, could don a crown, maybe carry a scepter and always let people eat cake. By the next year the song was ripped from my repertoire for political reasons never closely examined, but delusions of grandeur and fondness for the royalty persisted throughout tampon-scandals, inappropriate Nazi

Halloween apparel and Princes with signs of the decidedly un-regal male pattern balding. I chock it up to the Queen, who is the cold upper-class grandma that every dull middleclass Canadian pines for. It’s a strange thing for someone of my generation to admit really. Even my mum, a real, legitimate Brit, would never fess up to it, pointing to doily and teapot collectors as the lunatics who gave a rat’s ass about such an outdated, institution. She favoured, instead, getting glossy-eyed over Canadian politics,

but a gray suit never

KATHARTIC stole my imagination

the way a good velvet robe did. Granted, these aren’t the things that occupy my everyday thoughts, Kathy but when those Aussies Michaels got all uptight about the Monarchy during the run-up to their election, it made me ponder whether the issue would ever take root in Canada. Thing is, Australians, unlike Canadians, have few inhibitions about discussing whether to retain the constitutional status quo or to re-establish as a republic. It’s not the first time they’ve taken a run at the issue, and at times

it’s been heated, even impolite. In 1999, they had a referendum about whether to ditch the Monarchy and establish a republic. Surveys said that the Royalty would be out, but when the votes were actually tallied, the Monarchy remained. That, I believe, happened because of the Queen. Even Aussies, deep-down inside want to associate with the upper class, stoic and duty-bound ideology that Queen Elizabeth represents. That said, I can’t help but wonder what will happen once the Queen is dead. With painfully awkward Charles, balding-William or hotHarry on the throne, will the apathy that’s quashed this conversation in the

past persist? So far, our politicians have been loath to engage the population on discussions about monarchy versus republic, but that may offer the opportunity. After all, both countries started as colonies. They’ve both battled balancing indigenous populations’ needs with the development of their own governments and both took their sweet time heading to independence. So, if the conversation does arise in Canada, I hope the population turns their noses at it like the distasteful concept it is. So, in modern day speak, my thought goes, Oh God, just save the Queen. She, and what she represents, is the best we’ve got.

LETTERS

Nothing very scary about semi-nudes To the editor: I just read the three letters to the editor in the Wednesday (Sept. 1) edition of the Capital News, which were written as a response to the Aug.29 Sunday front page photo and article, and I have to say that those three gentlemen’s opinions are completely over-the-top, exaggerated and somewhat extreme. Three adult men having a problem with a

photo that shows a man and a woman semi-naked. Seriously, there can be “more” seen in a Grade 6 or 7 biology school book and there it is called the “male and female human body” and not “pornography.” John Neudorf writes: “extremely offended” and “Kelowna still has many upstanding citizens that are willing to fight against flagrant immorality wherever it raises its

ugly head.” Pastor Tucker writes: “serious concerns over your cover photo.” Chris Hendricks “chucked the paper into the recycling without a second thought.” Holy cow. In my opinion these three gentlemen seem to have some problem with the human body. I personally thought that cover photo was clever and well-done, and both “models” looked great.

As for the article, I don’t agree with everything in it. Obviously the “artists” want to make a name for themselves, create some “shock and ohh” and eventually benefit from it financially down the road. Now, if the Capital News wanted to re-do and re-publish that cover photo and “have a winner” with the people who take a shower wearing a brown paper bag over

their head, the super-conservative folks throughout the Kelowna church belt, it’s really easy, and here are some tips: a) Replace that fully dressed woman in the centre of the photo with a tree b) Photoshop a big snake into the top of the tree and c) also add some apples. Done. Pastor Tucker would be seriously delighted. Dirk Handke, Kelowna,

Consider bottom line Banish artist To the editor: Sunday’s front page (New(d) Attitude, Aug. 29 Capital News) which showed artist Julia Trops with two naked people, one a model the other an artist, could have at least been placed within the paper or better yet, in a publication that is better suited to such topics. I am thinking perhaps Off-Center might have been a good choice or a magazine that deals specifically with the art scene. I am a Capital News carrier. I can tell you that I’ve had a few comments from people who received that Sunday paper. I need to remind folks that I deliver your paper; I don’t produce it. The Capital News needs to consciously consider not only how it affects its audience but even more so, it needs to consciously consider its paying advertisers, me being one of them. Every time you (the Capital News) choose to ‘shock’ your audience you potentially end up doing two negative

things: You cause your clients to consider whether your paper is the type of venue they want to spend their money in and, you cause readership to drop. Every time you cause readership to drop you lessen the amount of people who read those paid advertisements. If you want kids to read your paper then perhaps you ought to consider them as well when publishing (you print within your pages something like, “get your kids reading”). I once ran a small publication and I learned some tough lessons. I realize as publishers we can’t please everyone all of the time, however, we need to recognize those obvious moments when we know we have crossed the line. Decide what kind of publication you want to be and let me remind you that you are not the only publication in Kelowna. Linda MacGillivray, Kelowna

from the valley To the editor: Capital News certainly degraded itself with the cover page and article supporting local artist Cory Dixon on Aug. 29. There is a huge difference between nude and crude. Cory Dixon’s creations are certainly the latter. There is no such thing as “the super conservative bogeyman” among people who have an appreciation for good art. I have been in many galleries in many parts of the world and have a great appreciation for the beauty of most

of the nude art that I have seen. If Cory Dixon and friends think that use of the shock effect and pushing his garbage through the media and the local art community is going to help his career, he is badly mistaken. I am glad he is going to Germany but I hope he does not return to the Okanagan where he is not welcome. Perhaps he should try San Francisco where his art might be appreciated. Fred Anderson, Kelowna

More disgust over unclothed flesh on cover To the editor: I’ve sat back far too often and let various issues slide that I felt otherwise needed attention. Today, that is not the case. I am referring of course to the tasteless publication of the article: New(d) Attitude (Aug. 29 Capital News). Obviously, the only thing successful was the shock factor. You got me. I’m shocked. After that, there is nothing, especially now, that would attract me to the so-called art shows that your paper devoted four full pages toward. Even reading the article was going to be a

waste of my time I was not going to sacrifice for such garbage. The pictures alone were suffice. I also refer to the arrogance of the artist’s comment, used in a headline: “Want to avoid nudes, stay away from great galleries.” I do stay away from what your idea is of a ‘great gallery.’ I do not appreciate you, nor the individual responsible for the article for invading my sanctuary by degrading my home with this so-called ‘art’ splattered on the front page, as well as the three subsequent pages. Shame on the Capital

News, and shame on the person who had it published in a public newspaper that anyone with a Grade 5 level can read. What about this to you, was even remotely OK to print? Clearly it is something that should not have made it past the thought stage. Perhaps there was the proverbial scraping of the barrel in talent, taste and time when all was said and done? Whatever the reason, there is no excuse for such stupidity and carelessly victimizing the readers of Kelowna by it. L. Issler, West Kelowna

To the editor: As a resident of Kelowna since September 2000, I must say I have never seen a front page photo on a circulated newspaper like the one in this past Sunday’s edition of the Capital News. I have seen art displaying nudity, but only in art galleries, in art books

To the editor: When a few Mission Park beavers wanted public support for their beaver dam aspirations on Mission Creek, they persuaded a pack of wolves to howl forth the beauty of beaver dams in the moonlit picnic area. Wolves don’t know the rules of the Park Authority, nor do they know or care to know what happens to the trees along the

creek or to the critters that live in them when beaver dams are built. They just like to make a noise for a cause. You would expect the writers of the Capital News weekend edition to be a little wiser than wolves, respect the feelings and concerns of most citizens and refrain from promoting the agenda of a few avant-garde-wouldbe-artists who are bent

on exhibiting pictures of naked men and women in public places. I am afraid the last weekend edition of the Capital News close-up pictures and writings have done a disservice to artists —who are now perceived as soft-porn peddlers— and to a community newspaper, that has lost a lot of respect in our community Volker Klaue, Kelowna

Letters sent directly to reporters may be treated as letters to the editor.

and in certain magazines. But I consider it very poor taste to put it on the front page of a widely circulated newspaper. You may consider my views prudish, but I do have a right in this democracy to express my disgust. Philip W. Johnson, Kelowna

NEWS ▼ Q&A WITH EDUCATION MINISTER

Kindergarten expands, enrolment shrinks Black Press legislative reporter Tom Fletcher sat down with Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid to discuss the beginning of the 2010-11 school year. TF: There’s a lot of interest in the full-day kindergarten program starting this year. Is it more popular than you expected? MM: It’s very popular. We’ve had incredibly

positive feedback from parents, teachers are very excited, principals are excited. I think people are aware that full-day playbased learning can enrich their kids’ experience, for a better start for school,

so they’re more likely to graduate from high school and go on to university or college. TF: Is demand exceeding supply? MM: I’ve heard it’s oversubscribed generally around the province. We’re offering it to about 21,000 students this year, and next year it will be available for all students. One of the things we have to do is devel-

op some new space, and that will happen over the course of this year. TF: Is the half-day option for kindergarten still available? MM: The half-day option is still available this year. Next year the plan is to only offer full-day kindergarten. We have heard from a few parents some uneasiness about that, and even for this year, some parents are wondering if their child’s ready for a full day. So we’ve asked parents to consult with their teacher, and there will be some flexibility allowed. TF: Is the B.C. Teacher’s Federation still filing thousands of grievances about class size and special needs support? MM: My understanding is that they are. One of the disappointing things about that is that it ties up superintendents and principals in many, many grievances, and of course CASTLEGAR Zibin Innovations 1402 Columbia Avenue 250-365-2355

financial resources, and I would obviously rather have those principals and superintendents working with the teachers to help our education system get better. TF: Are these grievances forcing change in class size or composition? MM: Thinking of the arbitration award last year, there was a very small number of classes that were found to be in violation of class size and composition (rules). In most of the cases it was a technicality…something like there were two teachers teaching a class, and one wasn’t consulted with and the other one was. Overall, the legislation is being followed. TF: A pilot program for combining school administrative functions such as payroll, vacation and substitute teacher scheduling gets underway this year in KamloopsThompson, Surrey, Vancouver and North Vancouver. Is that proceeding according to plan? MM: Yes. There are a lot of things that have to be worked through and that’s why we’re starting with those four districts, but we’re absolutely committed to it where it makes sense. We’re not going to be doing 60 of the same things in different places. We’re going to try to streamline that. TF: That involves buying new computer systems? MM: No question.

TF: B.C.’s Auditor General says you should extend this to school district banking and investments, so cash isn’t sitting in bank accounts. Are you following up on that? MM: Absolutely. In fact just this past July we had already begun to do a ‘just-in-time’ flow of funds. Previously money for things like payroll was going earlier than it needed to. TF: Everyone imagines a future where there’s a teacher on a TV screen and everyone in the province is taking classes, to take an extreme example. Can amalgamation come to the classroom? MM: In fact it already has. Learning online has expanded, I think it’s about tripled in the last couple of years. We have more than 70,000 students who are taking at least one course online. When you look at the rural and remote areas, I spoke with a teacher in Fort St. John who is involved with this, and he believes the expansion will be just astronomical. Students are choos-

TF: Enrolment province-wide is estimated to be down by about 6,000 this year. Is that the expected decline? MM: Yes. We’ll know the actual number by the end of September, so we’re expecting about 544,000 students in classrooms starting next week. And Surrey continues to exceed expectations in terms of growth. It’s astonishing. TF: Are facilities keeping up with that? MM: We are behind in Surrey. We’re doing better over time. Back in 1998 there were 363 portables in Surrey. We now have projected about 232, so it’s better. We’re building new space for full-day kindergartens. We’re working on that but we have not kept up with growth in Surrey. They’ve got about 9,000 more students today than they did 10 years ago. There’s growth elsewhere, but nowhere is it like that. TF: Has Vancouver sorted out its budget issues? MM: Vancouver certainly submitted a balanced budget. They are embarking on consultation with the public about school closures. They’ve got a list of about 12 schools that they say they’re considering closing. I expect there will probably be a small number of schools closed, because they’ve got at least two schools that are 6070 per cent empty, and it’s very expensive to maintain those schools. Other districts have made very different decisions than Vancouver.

Audi’s flagship A8 L raises the bar for premium luxury sedans Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR

CONTRIBUTED

THE 2011 A8 L is Audi’s new flagship model. At 5.2-metres in total length, it takes performance, technology and luxury to a new level for premium sedans.

MUNICH—Presence, power and poise is how Audi describes its flagship, the 2011 A8 L. The “L” stands for long wheelbase. At 5.2 meters in total length, with no less than 130 mm in rear seat legroom alone, it literally fills the bill. The backseat is more like a throne room with expanses of wood trim and buttery leathers, even a carpeted footrest that pops out for the feet of the tired captains of industry or princes of commerce who will ride there. This is matched by heated rear seats, power sunroof, deluxe four-zone climate control and electric rear and side window

blinds. One of the very special extras are tables for laptops that are stowed in the front seat backs ready for use as a work surface or for a light lunch en route. For those wishing a little light entertainment, there are 10.2-inch LCD monitors built into the front seat backs as well. If the body is a little tired, there is a massage function built in to the rear seats. These seats also recline should one wish to have a nap. But all is not reserved for those fortunate to ride in the rear. The front heated and cooled seats have no less than 22-way adjustability with four-way pneumatic lumbar supSee Audi B3

MOTORING ▼ FORD F-150 4X4 SUPERCREW

F-150 now in its 12th generation has solutions that work Rob Beintema CONTRIBUTOR

It’s hard to know where to start with the 2010 Ford F-150. This 12th generation version of the world’s most popular pickup has

been honoured with more than 20 awards since its debut as a 2009 model, including 2009 North American Truck of the Year and Motor Trend 2009 Truck of the Year. It has earned top safety ratings from the National

Highway Transportation Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and has been lauded for its refreshed exterior packaging and premium interior design and layout. But it’s probably eas-

iest to begin at the beginning and the foundation of a fully boxed frame built from hydroformed high strength steel rails and cross members. The chassis mounts a coil-over-shock front suspension and rear leaf

springs that are wider and longer than the previous generation springs. It’s a sturdy platform, traditionally “trucky” in layout maybe, but complemented by a high-tech suite of standard features that include an upgraded ABS braking system with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), AdvanceTrac with RSC (Roll Stability Control), Tire Pressure Monitoring and Trailer Sway Control. And that platform is versatile enough to enable an almost unlimited range of choices—4X2 or 4X4, Regular Cab, SuperCab or SuperCrew sizes, a choice of three box sizes, three V8 powertrains, five trim

levels and a dozen available equipment packages featuring everything from trailer towing to snow plow preparations, as well as top-of-the-line special edition packages that include the Harley-Davidson, King Ranch and Platinum packages. It’s a breadth of lineup we couldn’t possibly do justice to. So we’ll just concentrate on our as-tested red pickup, a 2010 F-150 4X4 SuperCrew model. This model choice eliminates two potential compromises right away, assuring 4X4 all-weather security and capability while offering sedan-style interior space and seating

comfort courtesy of the SuperCrew’s maxxed-out cabin size. All F-150s offer a mixed bag of passenger comforts, pickup box hauling abilities and towing potential for work or play. But this particular F-150 adds a Ford Work Solutions package to the mix, a suite of technologies that allows truck owners to stay connected, stay on task, even manage and run their businesses while they are on the road. “Our truck customers are smart and they work hard,” said Mark Fields, Ford’s president of The Americas. “Ford Work See Ford B4

Back to School Time: Tips for Driving Safely KATE WELLS The weather is starting to cool down, evenings are becoming darker – sooner. This is the sign that fall is just around the corner. For many, this means it’s also time to head back to school. In most areas, families will be back to the hectic, fast-paced driving environment we know best as – TRAFFIC. Here are some safe driving tips to help you stay safe and keep kids safe on their way to school: 1. School zones: School zones are once again in effect and should be obeyed at all times. School zones are in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., meaning drivers must travel 30 km/h when there is a speed associated with the sign. If there is not a speed limit attached, you must

slow down during these times when children are on the road. 2. Always obey the crossing guard: Be prepared to let the children cross the road at all times. Sometimes the light turns green, however the crossing guard still says stop. Obey his or her sign. Some children take longer to cross than others! 3. Be prepared to see children run across the road: Let’s face it, many kids are very excited to see their friends and the return of the ﬁrst few days of school so much that they forget the rules of the road. Be extra careful around schools and playgrounds – always expect the unexpected. Covering your brake and horn when driving at low speeds can help you react much faster.

4. Obey school buses at all times: I recently spoke directly to a former professional bus driver who gave me some excellent tips. School buses have both amber and red lights. When you see the amber lights ﬂashing, that simply means the bus driver is preparing to stop. When the lights are ﬂashing red, you must stop in both directions. You’ll most likely see a stop sign at the side of the bus as well. Don’t automatically stop when you see the amber lights but be prepared. Many children are excited at the thought of going back to school. New beginnings, new clothes, new supplies and so on. Some will not have safety on their minds. Please remember to brush up on your safe driving skills and slow down for the kids!

port that is also memory capable. On top of that, climate control to the front seats operates on a lower (feet and legs) and higher (head) level. Sound is literally out of this world with a 1,400watt, 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen super audio system complete with two little tweeters that rise out of the upper instrument panel when the system is engaged. I made a point of spending most of my time of the world launch of the car in Germany in the back, a very comfortable place to be. The A8 L made its world debut earlier this ryear at the Beijing Auto rShow with a choice of kseveral engines. For Canada, the prime model will be equipped kwith a 4.2-litre V8 with direct fuel injection producing 372 hp and 328 lb/ ft of torque. It accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 5.8 seconds with a Eurokpean loop fuel consumption rating of 9.7L/100 km. k Despite its visual girth, the A8 L is amazing aerodynamic with a drag coefficient of 0.26, better than many sportscars. Not yet confirmed, but possible for Canada, is the astounding 6.3-litre, direct fuel injection W12 with 500 hp and 442 lb/ft of torque. This is not a V12, but has four banks of three cylinders each on a common crankshaft laid out in a “W” configuration. The W12 does 0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds. Each engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronicsequentialmanual shift mode coupled with Audi’s signature “quattro”

all-wheel-drive. Torque split is normally 60 per cent to the front and 40 per cent to the rear but, if one axle slips, a majority of the power is sent to the other axle. With a length of 5.2-meters (5,267 mm) and a width of close to two-meters (1,949 mm), this car is beyond “fullsize” being more like the American land yachts of the 1970s, but it doesn’t go like one. Press the throttle at any speed and acceleration is near instant. But it doesn’t blast forward muscle car style with lots of noise. It’s more like a Boeing 777 with a sensation of being slowly and inexorably pressed into the seat as eight gears change up seamlessly, and quietly. When a group of journalists from India made off with all the 4.2-litre cars after our lunch stop, my co-driver and I were “forced” to drive a W12, and it was worth it. With the lunch stop only 60 km from Austria and the City of Salzberg, the home of Mozart; we headed up on the autobahn and a cloudless summer day. Looping along at the posted 120 km/h, the W12 was ticking over at about 2,000 rpm. Pulling into the outside lane to pass involved a mere nudge of the pedal with the 777 effect kicking in seeing us around and by in the time it takes to read this sentence. On the tiny streets in the old town centre, however, maneuvering the big A8 L with this 5.2-metre length and more than six feet of width, was a chore. I couldn’t wait to get back on the autobahn to peace, quiet and the pace of the car. Web: www.audi.ca

Ford Work Solutions offered across commercial lineup Ford from B2 Solutions provides truck customers new technologies and tools to help them work even smarter and further boost their productivity.” The Ford Work Solutions package has been introduced across Ford’s commercial lineup, in ESeries vans, Ford Transit Connect and in F-150 and F-Series Super Duty trucks and it is a collection of four industry-exclusive technologies. They include: • An in-dash computer that turns the truck into a mobile office. A 4GB Microsoft computer is integrated into the vehicle’s centre stack, filling the space normally occupied by the radio. It provides full high-speed Internet access, Bluetooth-enabled Hands-Free Calling and Garmin navigation. It is equipped with a 6.5-inch, high-rez touch screen, a digital slot for added memory, a USB port and a wireless keyboard, stylus and touchpad. Users can access office computers from the job site, open documents or spread

sheets, even print them out for customers right there in the truck on an available Ford-certified, Bluetooth-enabled, batterypowered inkjet printer. • Tool Link, a RadioFrequency Identification (RFID) asset tracking system developed in partnership with DeWALT tools. Most truck owners keep their tools safely stored in a bed-mounted lockbox but this technology enables contractors and other customers to maintain a detailed inventory of bigger tagged items—generators, and other large power tools that have to be stored in the pickup box. When the vehicle is running, a pair of RFID antennas, mounted in small boxy housings on the inside of the pickup box, scan the box for tagged items on a pre-programmed inventory list. The Tool Link program is displayed to the driver on-screen and can even be modified to create different tool inventories for different jobs. • Cable Lock security system. For those same items that are too big to be stored in the cab or lock-

The clasp, which looks sort of like a handcuff, can be ratcheted onto any item in the box, any of the tie-down cleats, or simply clamped back onto the cable itself. The re-

up box. Actually, this is an easily installed accessory available for any truck, regardless of model year. • Crew Chief, a fleet tracking, telematics and diagnostics system, provides instantaneous fleet location and performance data. In this case, your work truck, let’s think of it as “the boss truck”, shows icons of your fleet trucks on the navigation map. It allows fleet owners to keep tabs on their vehicles, dispatch the closest workers directly to job sites, monitor driver performance for safety and economy, and keep detailed maintenance records. It’s a pretty impressive package on a pretty impressive truck, and Ford’s patented Tailgate Step and retractable Box Side Steps that allow for a deeper reach into the cargo box bolstered my tester’s usability even further. If there is one chink in the F-150’s armour, it would be the powertrain selection, three V8s that provide varying levels of towing and hauling power but little in the way of fuel economy. The as-tested optional and largest 5.4-litre makes 310 hp and 365 lb/ft of torque with a 15.6/11.2L/100km

(city/hwy) fuel economy rating. Those are optimistic numbers. I averaged 18.5L/100km, admittedly mostly city, but driving conservatively, riding solo and not hauling a load. Now, you could argue that if you want less truck, buy the smaller Ranger. And if you want more truck, move up to the heavier class Super Duty. But this small problem will be resolved when the Ford 2011 F-150 arrives with a broader selection of four new powertrains, a 3.7-litre V6 and a 5.0-litre V8 based on the 2011 Ford Mustang engines, a 6.2-litre V8 from the Super Duty lineup for special edition packages and last but not least, the eagerly-anticipated twinturbocharged 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 offering V8like power with up to 20 per cent fuel savings. All engines will be paired with a brand new sixspeed automatic transmission. They used to say that car owners buy the car they want while truck owners buy the truck they need. But the F-150 with Ford’s Work Solutions blurs the lines between necessity and desire, adding another level of useable sophistication to a package already combining truck abilities with carlike passenger room, quality construction and premium amenities. With the coming 2011 powertrain improvements, it’ll be all the truck you could want or need.

MOTORING ▼ MAZDA2

Zoom in sub-compact CONTRIBUTOR

The Mazda2 GS subcompact five-door is cute as all get out with a bold character line that starts behind the front wheel well and darts upward steeply to the rear fender. The “smiling” grille treatment is toned down a bit from the Mazda3. The GX is the “base” model (the other being the GS) and starts at $13,995. At that price you get as standard, six air bags, electronic stability control rwith traction control, antilock brakes with electronic brake force distribution with brake assist, power windows/mirrors/locks and a tilt steering wheel. A real benefit, and a standard feature, is a brake override system - one of the first to fitted to any car. In the unlikely event of unintended acceleration, the system gives the rbrakes priority over the kmotor so it can be brought to a safe stop. My tester, a GS, is the top trim model of the two with air conditioning ($1,195 extra on the GX), four-speed automatic transmission ($1,100) in place of the standard fivespeed manual. The optional ($895) Convenience Package on the GX is standard on the GS. This adds heated door mirrors, cruise and audio controls on the steering wheel, exterior temp gauge, trip computer and various bit of trim like body color door mirrors and handles. The rest of what differentiates a GS from a GX is trim pieces notably 15inch alloy wheels (steel on the GX) six speakers, rain-sensing wipers and a rear, body-colour spoiler to mention a few. There aren’t many options after that except Bluetooth connectivity (fitted at $389) and accessories like a Pioneer indash multi-media centre, /bigger alloy wheels and a suspension lowering kit. Turned out in an iri-

descent green that drew a lot of comments, the as tested price was $19,684. There is one engine, a twin-cam inline fourcylinder producing 100 hp and 98 lb/ft of torque. Fuel consumption with the manual is 6.8L/100 km city and 5.6L/100 km highway. With the automatic, it is rated at 7.5L/100 km city and 6.0L/100 km highway. Because the Mazda2 is based on an earlier subcompact called the Demio which was not sold in North America, the engine, while very fuel efficient, is not as powerful as competitors like the Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris. As described in my earlier story at the Montreal launch, Mazda engineers used what they call their “gram strategy” for taking off the pounds to increase the power-toweight ratio and thus improve performance. Engineers shaved off 2.9 kg (6.4 lb) by optimiz-

ing the wiring harness and 22.6 kg (50 lb) by going to a 53 per cent use of high tensile steel in the body structure. And those are just two of dozens of examples. The result was an overall 10 per cent reduction over the previous model for a curb weight of 1,042 kg, making it (with manual transmission) the lightest car in the segment. Not only was the suspension lightened but it was re-tuned for increased handling and steering response. This time I put almost 600 km on the clock including a 441.1 km round trip from my home to a resort area to the east. The trip involved primarily super highways and rural two-lane blacktop. Average fuel consumption was 6.9L/100 km on the way to my destination. At a half tank, I covered 198.3 km with 288 km more to go on the tank according to the trip

Toyota offers Prius Plug-in Hybrid for government testing By 2020, the government of Ontario wants one in 20 cars in the province to run on electricity alone. Rick Jennings, Ontario assistant deputy minister, Energy Supply, Transmission and Distribution Policy, made the statement during the end of August announcement of a test of the Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles (PHV) held at the headquarters of Toyota Canada in Scarborough. The occasion saw the delivery of the first Prius to its provincial testing partners, the Province of Ontario (Ministry of Energy, Ministry of Transportation), Ontario Power Generation, the City of Toronto and the AUTO21 Network of Centres of Excellence. At the press conference, those attending were told Ontario is working on what it calls a “smart grid” that will be able to deal with demand for electricity that electric cars will demand. “As Canada’s automotive research and development program, AUTO21 provides training on cutting edge technology to nearly 450 graduate students,” said Dr. Peter Frise, scientific director and CEO, AUTO21 Network of Centres of Excellence.

mode and operate like a regular Prius - giving the vehicle the driving range and performance Canadians demand from today’s automobiles. The Toyota Prius Plug-In achieves a fuel consumption of just 1.75L/100km and CO2 emissions of 41 g/km under specified driving conditions (combined electric vehicle and hybrid vehicle modes). Compared to the typical conventional midsize automobile, driving a Prius PHV for one year is expected to reduce one’s fuel consumption by 1,650 L (83 per cent) and one’s CO2 emissions by almost 4,000 kg (or 4 tonnes). Toyota said fuel consumption announced at the launch is an estimate based on the Japan JC-08 test. Fuel savings and emissions reductions claims are based on a comparison with the average fuel consumption of all midsize vehicles listed in Natural Resources Canada’s (NRCAN) Fuel Consumption Guide, assuming yearly average driving distances of 20,000 km/year). Canada has been selected as one of the participating countries for Toyota’s global test of the Prius PHV. Five Prius PHV

“We’re excited to partner with Toyota on this initiative and provide an opportunity for some of the students to learn about the near-market technologies that are poised to play a role within the Canadian automotive sector.” Toyota’s Ontario partners will share their Prius PHV, which will be fitted with telematics equipment to record vehicle and hybrid system performance. “Toyota Canada is pleased to deliver the first Prius PHV to our partners in Ontario, a province that has shown great leadership in planning for a more sustainable transportation future,” said Toyota Canada president Yoichi Tomihara. “We believe the Prius PHV will help Canadian drivers minimize their impact on the environment, and Toyota is grateful to have such important partners join us in gathering critical real-world feedback.” Based on the world’s largest selling hybrid vehicle, the Toyota Prius PHV is designed to deliver a range of more than 20 kilometres and top speed of almost 100 KPH on battery alone. In addition, an onboard Atkinson-cycle gasoline engine enables the vehicle to revert to hybrid
