THE PROFICIENCY of the Kelowna Rockets to develop NHL blueliners was reinforced at the league’s annual awards presentation in Las Vegas this week. A18

THE 2011 Mercedes-Benz R-class redesigned model offers great versatility, solid performance and a handsome look, but it has yet to find its niche in the crossover vehicle marketplace.

THE WARPED 45S have been labeled as an alternative country band, but that hasn’t stopped the Toronto group from wanting to push their musical boundaries.

BEING A GOOD ‘sportsman’ is what enjoying the great outdoors is supposed to be all about.

Local MLAs on HST hit list Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

The Central Okanagan’s three Liberal MLAs could be targeted for recall by the B.C. group trying to convince the government to scrap the HST. Norm Letnick (Kelowna-Lake Country), Ben Stewart (Westside-Kelowna) and Steve Thomson (Kelowna-Mission) are three of the 24 Liberal MLAs on the “HST hit list” issued by Fight HST Wednesday. According to the Fight HST campaign leader, former B.C. premier Bill Vander Zalm, the local trio, as well as the other 21 Liberal MLAs are on the list because of the number of signatures collected in their ridings on the antiHST petition. MLAs who appear on the list represent ridings where 25 per cent or more of the registered voters signed the petition. Across B.C., the petition, calling for the scrapping of the HST and being conducted under the province’s initiative law, has collected 670,000 signatures, said Vander Zalm.

Trustees chop community school funding Bobbi-Sue Menard CONTRIBUTOR

The Central Okanagan Board of Education decided Wednesday to rescind the funding for the Rutland Community School. The decision creates a precarious future for the community school, which now faces a $4,000 per month deficit. While the board vocalized support for the Rut-

land Community School at their June 23 meeting, the decision was made to cut financial support for the program. The community school concept was first funded and advanced by the B.C. Ministry of Education. In the mid-1990s funding was reduced and then eliminated from direct provincial funding. The school district

took over the funding of two community schools on a discretionary basis, one being at Rutland Elementary and the other at Bankhead Elementary. The Bankhead Community School has had a close relationship with the City of Kelowna and will be continuing on with support from the city. But the Rutland Community School has operated as a not-profit soci-

ety and relied heavily on school district funding to operate. Executive director Deborah Hughes said in her presentation at the June 23 board meeting that the amount of volunteer hours donated to the community school essentially leveraged the value of the funding by a factor of three. But Hughes’ presentation detailing some

of the programming and community benefits of the Rutland Community School was not enough to sway trustees as the vote was unanimous to cut funding. The funding came from an existing Community Link budget allocation. Within that envelope, the community school was budgeted against the school meals program

which, with the addition of all-day kindergarten, will raise from $770,000 in 2009-10 to a projected $811,014 in 2010-11. That amount funds 900 meals per day, 152 days per year. School district superintendant Hugh Gloster publicly stated the amount was being reviewed; however, in questions after the See Funding A10

Gas line leak forces excavation in park Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

It took two days for excavation to begin on the Kelowna waterfront where a crew could be seen tearing up the beach Thursday afternoon. There is a complicated grid of new and old pipe work beneath Kerry Park where a gasoline tank is believed to be leaking into the sand and dirt on land. Monday morning, even the mayor and some of her councillors were out surveying the scene as city environmental staff began cordoning off an area directly behind Kelowna Marina’s leased moorage and beside the Queensway parking loop. A passerby had spotted the gas leak early that morning, alerting city staff before much could seep into the water. City environment point person Todd Cashin said he figured about 200

At his sentencing, Dwayne Munk said he’d gladly take the place of the elderly man he drove into and killed almost a year ago, but he was sentenced to 40 months in prison instead. “Your offense was cowardly and callous,” said judge Gayle Sinclair, referring to the day Munk drove a stolen car into 78-year-old Arthur Horton, as he walked along Sexsmith Road. “You fled the scene, left a pedestrian for dead and then threatened

ment quickly sealed the hole pumping from the sea wall to the lake. A containment barrier

and absorbent pads were immediately set up as gasoline diffuses quickly, forming a thin film on the

surface capable of spreading far and wide. Security guards remained on site Thursday.

(witnesses)…I wish you good luck—you have a hell of a burden to live with for the rest of your life.” For leaving the scene of the crime, Munk was sentenced to four years in prison. For uttering threats to the two potential witnesses he was saddled with two more years, and for possession of a stolen vehicle, two more. With credit for time he’s already served the sentence comes in at just over three years. Aggravating factors were that Munk has a “long and unenviable”

criminal record, said Sinclair. In addition to an addiction to crack, he’s shown a propensity for stealing cars and that’s landed him in prison twice—once in 2005 and again in 2008. While Crown counsel Jeff Dyment contended that Munk had lost his right to be considered eligible for rehabilitation, Sinclair disagreed. He did say, however, that Munk’s drug addiction needs to be kicked before he should be able to live a free life. In addition to his prison sentence, the judge tacked on a 10-year driv-

ing prohibition that will start when Munk is released from prison, and his DNA is to be submitted to a national bank. For his part, Munk did confess to the crime and expressed a desire to be a better person. “Your honour, when I don’t do drugs I’m a great person,” he said. “Every time I do drugs I do terrible things, and I can barely tolerate living knowing I took a man’s life.” The night he drove into the Korean war vet will “haunt (him) forever.” “I wish I could take

Mr. Horton’s place, I wish I could turn back time so I could stay with him. “…For everybody this has affected, I’m so terribly sorry.” Horton was struck early July 18, 2009, on Sexsmith Road. He was found with his war medals in his pocket. The car that hit him was reported stolen that day in West Kelowna and recovered two days later in Rutland. It had been wiped clean of evidence and Munk turned himself in the following February.

The elementary schools in West Kelowna are facing a space crunch. The combination of introducing all-day kindergarten and the continued rapid population growth in the area are forcing School District 23 to make creative decisions. At the June 23 board meeting, school district secretary-treasurer Larry Paul said Shannon Lake Elementary will receive an eight-room addition within the next 18 months. Several factors went into making the decision, Paul said, the first being a dire need for overall classroom space in West Kelowna. “Everything is full on the Westside,” said Paul. “Our assessment showed we need 11 more classrooms in the community.” The solution is to add two portables to George Pringle and one portable to Glenrosa Elementary. There were eight classrooms needed to fill the student population needs, explained Paul, so the school district made the business case to the ministry of education to build a permanent eight-room addition at Shannon Lake Elementary. To further maximize space, the district will in turn move four Shannon Lake portables to Hudson Road, distributing classrooms around the community. “We were going to get money from the province for the portables, and this way we are able to have something permanent,” said Paul. Rose Valley Elementary is the next step in the space distribution process. Paul said the school is nearly full, with no opportunity for expansion, portable or otherwise. “Rose Valley is nearly full, with only a few spaces left,” he said. “The problem is that people like their schools in the neighbourhood, but there is no room for expansion at that school.” Paul did not rule out the possibility of students in the neighbourhood going to different schools in the future, if the demand for Rose Valley continues to grow. For the immediate project at Shannon Lake, Paul announced an accelerated design bid process. The plan is to have architectural design completed over the summer along with bidder pre-qualification. The goal is shovels in the ground by early fall, creating the opportunity to build over the winter.

Yes, for anglers, catch and release is an important part of it, particularly once you catch enough for your supper. Conservation and sharing are vital attitudes in ensuring there’s a future for fish and game in our province. The resource needs to be nurtured, not raped, and we must be inclusive, not exclusive. Too often we hear about the bad apples that destroy natural areas, take more than their limit of fish, steal other people’s equipment or destroy their outdoors experience with noisy machines.

He says there were at least 10 lambs with the group of an estimated 30 California bighorns. That would suggest the splinter herd that migrated down to the corner of Bear Main Forest Service Road and Westside Road from the rugged Shorts Creek canyon has had a very successful lambing season this spring. Environment ministry wildlife biologist Brian Harris says it may be an unusual year for lambs as others have reported early lambs being seen near OK Falls in April, which means they would be a healthy size by now.

the rugged bluffs just up Bear Main from Westside Road. Findlater’s patience in waiting for the herd to cross Westside Road is to be commended, and will hopefully serve as an example for everyone travelling that busy, twisting road, or we’re bound to lose some members of this herd—and likely cause some damage to a vehicle as well. A collision with a fullgrown sheep or deer can be a fatal experience and there are still many highways around here where wildlife are a common sight. So, be alert and take care when driving this summer. You’ll enjoy it more; you’re more likely to stay alive to read my column another week—and so are the wildlife you’ll enjoy viewing.

Flaming cedar hedge spreads property fire Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

The Kelowna Fire Department was called to a fire in the 2100-block of Gallagher Road Thursday morning where a cedar hedge was burning. Firefighters knocked down the flames within minutes of the call coming in at 11:20 a.m., but not before a corner of one home caught fire and the property owner’s shed burned. Two fire engines, an ambulance, police and fire commander were sent to the scene, though no one was injured. Both homes were empty at the time of the fire, which was determined to be an accident.

“A worker was using a torch to seal coat a driveway adjacent to the cedar hedge when the torch came in contact with the hedge, igniting the blaze,” said a statement from Thomas Doherty, Kelowna assistant fire chief. Neighbours on scene said the company doing the work left before talking to emergency services or the police. An RCMP member on scene said the matter was under investigation. The statement released by the fire department said the chief would like to remind the public to be cautious when working with an open flame and have a readily available source of water or extinguisher on hand. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

orchard. A few minutes later, a sighting of the car was picked up again by police heading north on Highway 97. Upon reaching Oyama, the driver of the vehicle made several street turns as it was being followed. That apparent strategy worked briefly but the stolen car was spotted again on Highway 97 a short time later. This time, the car was followed as the driver pulled into a dead end at Crystal Waters Road.

The vehicle stopped and two male occupants were subsequently arrested without incident. The two men were then taken to Kelowna’s RCMP detachment. The passenger was ultimately released while the driver, a 49-year-old Calgary resident, is being held in custody facing charges of possession of stolen property under $5,000. Police say the suspect has a record with more than 120 previous criminal offense convictions.

Work on new climbing lane should improve traffic flow Work on a new climbing lane is underway to improve traffic flow along Highway 33. “Each time we get into a vehicle we want to keep ourselves and passengers safe. Upgrades will allow drivers to pass others in a safe and efficient manner,” said Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson. “The passing lane up Walker’s Hill and the four laning of Highway 33, between Muir Road and Gallagher Road, is a priority for both area residents and the entire region,” added Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick. “This important project is on schedule, and I ask everyone to drive with patience around work crews.” Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan said he was also pleased to see the project proceeding. “This climbing lane

is an investment in safety and is welcomed news for the regular users of this highway, especially the residents of Joe Rich and area,” Cannan said. “The federal government continues to recognize the important role infrastructure plays in the local and regional economy and this is another example of the excellent cooperation between the provincial and federal government.” The work includes paving 2.5 kilometres of climbing lane on Highway 33, between Gallagher Road and Pyman Road. Emil Anderson Construction was awarded a $1.8 million contract to pave the road, which is scheduled to begin in August and be completed by the end of September 2010. The federal contribution to this project comes from the $4 billion Infra-

structure Stimulus Fund, which provides funding to provincial, territorial and municipal constructionready infrastructure projects. Since March 2009, almost 400 projects have received a total federal investment of over $500 million under the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund across British Columbia. Since October 2008, over $5.3 billion has been committed for accelerated capital projects across British Columbia, which is estimated to generate more than 34,000 construction jobs over the life of the projects. This project is one of 21 highway projects currently underway in the Okanagan. The province has committed over $320 million towards these projects, which are expected to create more than 2,000 direct jobs.

▼ BEAR CREEK TRAILS

IH yet to sign off on dirt bike trail plan Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

While it’s hoped that work can continue this summer to deactivate trails in the Bear Creek area to move them further away from water bodies, it depends on an assessment being done by Interior Health to satisfy concerns about the protection of public drinking water. The Bear Creek Drinking Water Advisory Committee met last week to discuss last summer’s letter from medical health officer Dr. Paul Hasselback, who is also a member of the committee, about dirt bike trails in that watershed. It was addressed to

Peter Walters, assistant deputy minister for tourism development for the B.C. Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts, who initiated the committee and chairs it. That ministry is working with the Okanagan Trail Riders’ Association to construct off-road trails for motorized recreation in the Bear Creek watershed. In that letter, Hasselback wrote that IH has not been provided with a concept plan, GIS mapping, operations plan or monitoring plan to demonstrate how drinking water hazards arising from the Bear Creek Recreation Site will be mitigated. He directed that they

be provided to IH for assessment. “A recent draft source assessment of the community watershed completed by Lakeview Irrigation District’s consultant has identified that motorized recreation has a high risk of sediment delivery to the stream and a very high risk for bacterial, viral and parasite loading to the stream,” he wrote. Walters formed the committee as a result of such public concern, and it has now met twice. He says that water quality is now the top focus in that recreational area. A construction moratorium on new trails and remediation of old trails

was put in place this spring until Interior Health is satisfied with its assessment of plans for the area. Walters said there is the potential for a managed camping area within the Bear Creek Recreational Management Zone in order to end dispersed camping in the area. Hasselback was cautious in discussing the reaction of IH to the documentation provided, but said the plan for work in that area for this year appears to address the concerns of IH. He did say it might be possible for the plans for the current year to be dealt with by IH earlier. However, he said there’s a fair bit of work

to do before they can respond. He emphasized that the protection of public health is his priority in examination of the plans. He said it’s important to try and define practices for off-road vehicles that will keep the protection of public health foremost. Because it’s hoped the off-road users’ trails being constructed in the Bear Creek area will be a showpiece for the rest of the province, it’s important that a criteria for off-road uses be applied that will centre on public health protection, said Hasselback.

â–ź COURT

Jury now left to decide fate of Feil murder charge Kathy Michaels CONTRIBUTOR

Whether James Feil intended to strangle his girlfriend to death or she was killed accidentally when he fended off her attack, is now being decided by a jury. Crown counsel David Ruse is seeking a second degree murder conviction, theorizing Feil, 39, was enraged when Tiffany Fedechko, 23, rejected his

sexual advances Oct. 26, 2008, and that led him to murder the young mother. Fedechko’s autopsy showed she took numerous blows to the face and injury to her hands before her airway was constricted by pressure to her neck. Pressure that Ruse said came from Feil’s hands pressing down. “The struggle would have only lasted 10 seconds‌compression’s to the neck would have last-

ed three minutes,� said Ruse, noting she would have lost consciousness at the two-minute mark, and in total there was more than enough time for “passions to cool.� “His only possible intention was to kill her.� From that point forward, Ruse contended Feil started upon a twoand-a-half day, pre-confession venture aimed at obfuscating the truth from investigators.

While Feil confessed to causing Fedechko’s death, “he describes things in very general terms,� said Ruse, asking jurors to pay special attention to a video taped testimony of Feil, where he described how the fight began. By Feil’s account, Fedechko had been working herself into a jealous rage throughout a night of drinking and when the couple returned to his apartment, he tried to calm her down by initiating sex. Wooing her didn’t improve the mood, and Fedechko tried to leave the apartment.

Telling your story most accurately: Capital News

Feil said he stopped her, by pointing out she was too drunk to drive, and that’s when she grabbed a knife and started “flailing� and stabbing at him, ultimately leaving a cut on his neck and two symmetrical wounds on his arms. In an attempt to disarm her, he said he jumped on her with his knee on her neck. He then punched her “three or four� times in the head before she went unconscious. He then knocked the knife from her hand, and headed to the bathroom for five minutes to clean his wounds. “He gets one or two scratches while he climbs on her,� said Ruse. “You’d expect a nick, or a cut. “There’s only two small symmetrical, superficial cuts on his arms.� The cut to the neck was a bit more serious, warranting a medical visit, though Ruse still questioned how and when the

wounds were inflicted. According to expert evidence, cuts gained through that kind of struggle usually vary in depth, and are not symmetrical. With that in mind the expert testified they were 75 per cent certain wounds to the arm were self inflicted, and 50 per cent sure the neck wound was also self inflicted. Furthermore, he said, other expert testimony shows that the cuts all appeared quite fresh, when Feil turned himself in to police. The fact that Feil turned himself is one reason to not disbelieve his recounting of events, explained defense lawyer Grant Gray, who is seeking a manslaughter conviction. Gray said there’s no reason to believe Feil would be of the mind to concoct a story, though it’s not unheard of that he would be “out of sorts.�

“There’s nothing to suggest he had any sense of distinction between murder and manslaughter,� he said. While portraying Fedechko as a knife wielding wild-woman, in need of being restrained, may be contrary to her character until that moment, that’s something Feil acknowledged as well. Her blood alcohol level was high and that could have led her to act in an erratic fashion. Also, the relationship between the couple was solid previous to that night, said Gray, pointing to testimony that the two “spent all their time together.� Gray also said that there was a high enough percentage of doubt in expert testimony, to leave jurors to not place their faith in that account. “The evidence is consistent with what Feil said occurred,� Gray said.

▼ CONDO LIVING

Complying with privacy rules

V

ery few rights are actually enshrined in legislation, or law. While some are less, or more important than others, there is one right that affects us all and is paramount: The right to privacy. But what does that mean? Most every government, organization or business has a privacy protection policy. Unbeknownst to the condo community, there is specific legislation outlining a myriad of rules governing the actions of owners and councils, who are not only neighbours, but also members and shareholders of a corporation. The Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner has jurisdiction to enforce the Personal Information Act (PIPA), which has widespread implications for the governance of strata corporations. Personal information STRATASCENE covers just about anything and everything that identifies an individual. This includes such things as name, age, religion, marital status, finances, eduGunnar cation, employment and Forsstrom home phone number just to cite a few. In addition, one owner’s opinion of another owner would be the personal information of the person being described. Strata corporations also manage more sensitive personal information including banking or credit card information, insurance particulars, debts owed to the strata and vehicle license numbers. The legislation states that stratas should only collect the minimum amount of personal information reasonably necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Strata Property Act and other relevant legislation. According to the privacy guidelines, personal information does not include “contact information,” which is information that enables an individual to be contacted at a place of business. Contact information includes a person’s name, business address, business telephone number, business fax number and business email address. PIPA gives strata members some control over their personal information by imposing rules on strata corporations around their collection, use and disclosure of personal information. Foremost is the right of members to be told the purpose for, and consent to, a strata’s collection, use or disclosure of their personal information. The issue of privacy and personal information certainly places a further responsibility on strata corporations and more particularly on councils. Every strata is required to appoint a “privacy officer” to ensure the corporation’s compliance with PIPA. This duty can also be performed by a professional strata manager. The legislation is wide ranging and complex and will be further examined in future columns. Gunnar Forsstrom is a licensed strata manager with Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty.

ates out of various Rutland school fields, reducing the transportation costs for struggling families. Hughes is hoping against hope enough emergency funding will remain to operate the community school until next year. Hughes will also immediately cut back on all purchases. For years the Rutland Community School has either outright purchased or cost-shared sports equipment with Rutland Elementary. Hughes is also now unsure how she will increase prices on programming ranging from kids crafting events to the popular annual Easter egg hunt. “We are hopeful that we will somehow find a way forward,� said Hughes. “We have kids for the fall, and we don’t want to turn them away. “We will go as long as we can drawing on savings, but without new funding, we will be done eventually.�

Hit list from A1 be handed in to Elections B.C. for verification of the signatures on June 30. Fight HST says it has surpassed the mandatory 10 per cent of registered voters required in all of B.C.’s 85 ridings. Locally, according to the latest numbers released, Fight HST canvassers have collected 10,158 signatures in Kelowna-Lake Country (23.85 per cent of registered voters), 10,299 signatures in Westside-Kelowna (24.59 per cent) and 10,238 signatures in Kelowna-Mission (23.81 per cent). In the case of Stewart, B.C.’s new community development minister, that means just 35 more people voted for him in the last election than have now signed the petition opposing the HST. All three local MLAs have stated publicly they

are in favour of the HST, voted for it and do not plan to break ranks with the government over the issue. Boundary-Similkameen rookie MLA John Slater is number one on the Fight HST recall list as he received just 6,681 votes but 11,574 people in his riding have signed the anti-HST petition. Recall is more difficult in B.C. than forcing an initiative. It requires the signatures of 40 per cent of registered voters in a riding to be collected in a 60-day period. But unlike an initiative bid, which can be either put to non-binding referendum or tabled in the legislature to be voted on, a recall result is binding and automatic. There have been 20 recall attempts since the law came in and 19 have failed. In the other case, the MLA resigned before the petition period ended.

Antidepressant rule change for U.S. airplane pilots I have written in the past about the outdated and frankly ludicrous rules for pilots when it comes to mental health issues. Recently, the Federal Aviation Administration in the U.S. finally took a step in the right direction by easing rules surrounding antidepressant use in pilots.

HEALING MINDS

Paul Latimer American pilots can now apply for a special certificate allowing them to fly if they have been successfully treated for mild to moderate depression with a year or more of taking one of four common antidepressants. Until now, American pilots have had a blanket no fly rule when it comes to mental health problems. When I read this positive step, I looked again into the Canadian regulations for pilots with regard to mental health issues. I was pleased to find that Transport Canada was a little ahead of its American counterpart and has also updated regulations in recent months to allow some antidepressant use in pilots. According to the Transport Canada website, Canadian pilots may now continue flying while being treated with newer SSRI or SNRI medications for several disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorders or premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Each situation will be assessed individually and in order to ensure safety for both the pilot and the flying public, the pilot should be stable on the medication for at least four months before returning to the air. Generally, only one medication may be used at a time in order to qualify for flying privileges. I believe this is a step in the right direction. Past regulations made it very difficult for a pilot experiencing a mental health issue to seek treatment without losing his or her job. As a result, there were strong incentives for pilots not to disclose their health problems or to selftreat in an inappropriate manner. Until these new reg-

ulations, pilots requiring any ongoing treatment for a psychiatric illness would be unable to fly. In this position, people were forced to decide

whether to be open about health issues and risk their career or be dishonest and fly anyway even with an unstable mental illness. The recent regulation

changes acknowledge this problem stating that although the prevalence of depression among pilots is known to be at least six per cent, the treatment

rate was much lower. I would rather be on a plane with a pilot or copilot who is honest about a medical problem and receiving appropriate treat-

ment. Most other professions—even in areas involving public safety—allow for appropriate management of mental health issues while the

individual continues to work. I don’t believe the aviation industry should be any different. dr@okanaganclinicaltrials.com

Assault involved baseball bat A 39-year-old male is in hospital with a fractured skull, following an assault in which a baseball bat was used. The incident occurred at around 9 p.m. on Wednesday, June 23. Kelowna RCMP say two males, wearing bandanas, came into an apartment in the 3100 block of DeMontreuil Court in Rutland. One of the males struck the victim on the head with the baseball bat. The two assailants then left. The victim’s girlfriend called for an ambulance and the victim was taken to Kelowna General Hospital for treatment to the skull fracture. The subsequent police investigation has revealed evidence that the attack was connected to drug issues. Descriptions of the suspects are that one is Caucasian and the other is possibly an First Natons person with blonde hair.

â–ź HEALTH

Laser therapy turns ‘on’ body’s ability to heal itself I have had an awful lot of emails regarding my June 11 article about the use of laser therapy in the treatment of many musculoskeletal injuries. It seems many people are as excited about this therapy as I am. I’ve just recently completed my certification in Low Intensity Laser Therapy application in Alberta and I will be bringing this technology to my clinic in Kelowna. I will attempt to give you a Readers Digest version of this new technology and its success. It is truly fantastic. Here’s how it works. This technology utilizes superluminous laser and laser diodes to treat abnormal tissue with light photons. These particles of energy affect a variety of cells and tissues resulting in the conversion of light into biochemical energy. In essence, it is turning ‘on’ the ability of the body to heal the injured structure by allowing the cells to function and restore normal physiology. This process is curative and it eliminates

ASK DR.THIEL

Markus Thiel symptoms such as pain, swelling and bruising of injured tissue. The physiological effects of laser therapy include an increased production of DNA. These are the protein building blocks that are essential in the process of cell and tissue regeneration. In addition, it increases collagen production which increases the strength of muscles, tendons and ligaments. We get all of our energy from a cell called mitochondria. Mitochondria’s function is to produce a fuel called ATP. Laser therapy increases the amount of ATP produced in the mitochondria, thereby greatly accelerating the healing process using your body’s innate curative pathways. It also has been dem-

onstrated to increase the immune response, promote lymphatic drainage which reduces swelling and most impressively it produces a process called angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels to injured tissue which will improve circulation and tissue oxygenation, thereby giving this dormant tissue life. Treatments last typically between 30 minutes to an hour and in a recent clinical review involving 1,000 consecutively treated patients the average number of treatment required was only 9.4. Here’s the most amazing aspect of laser therapy: there are absolutely no adverse effects, there is no pain or sensation felt during treatment and very few contra-indications for treatment. It is non-toxic, noninvasive and in over one million individual treatments no adverse side effects have ever been reported. Conditions that respond very well to laser therapy include carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, repetitive stress

syndrome, rotator cuff injury, ligament and tendon tears, herniated discs, tendinitis, plantars fasciitis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, neuropathies and muscle tears to name a few.

High youth unemployment numbers should raise concerns

L

ately you hear a lot about how poorly Europe is fairing compared to Canada. What I find most interesting is the youth unemployment rate in Europe compared to Canada. Youth, 16 to 24 years old, traditionally have the highest unemployment rate. In Canada in 1993, the youth unemployment rate was eight per cent, in 2007 it was at its lowest at 2.6 per cent and is currently sitting at 15.1 per cent for May 2010. Although 15.1 per cent is considered high, this is less than most European countries where the average is 19 per cent. The Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation estimates that there are currently 15 million unemployed youth throughout Europe and the United Kingdom. Some countries are worse than others. In France and Italy one in four youth are unemployed and in Spain 40 per cent of their youth are without jobs. So why is youth unemployment so high? One of the biggest reasons is that the youth labour market is the most sensitive to the ups and downs of the economy. This is especially

SCHOOL’S IN

Jane Muskens prevalent for youth who opt out of post-secondary education and lack the necessary experience and skills to get the best jobs. They are likely to be hired in temporary positions in cyclically-sensitive industries such as construction and tourism. Unfortunately, some European countries (such as Spain and Italy) have higher-than-average highschool dropout and youth unemployment rates—a strong indicator on why they are having such economic problems. For disadvantaged youth who don’t have a basic education and experience regular employment layoffs, employment studies are revealing that chronic youth unemployment has serious negative effects on both the worker and society. Beyond the monetary effect of loss of wages, studies have shown that youth who are unable to positively transition into the workforce tend to become adults who are generally unhappy and have

very little job satisfaction. Along with these traits come health problems, including depression. At an early age these youth feel what it’s like to be marginalized by society. They aren’t fitting in because they can’t find a way to participate. What you do, where you work and how you support yourself are fundamental to how you see yourself in society as well as your community. Being unable to participate has serious longterm effects not only for the young adult trapped in long-term unemployment and inactivity, but also on society as these workers are lost forever (their human capital unfulfilled) and often dubbed as the “lost generation” or the “youth left behind.” As the baby-boomer generation retires and some employment sectors begin to experience labour shortages, we can’t afford to have under-utilized workers. Post-secondary education is the only way I know to help youth transition easily into the workforce and to provide them with the best opportunity to gain the skills and knowledge to get those jobs which provide longterm stability. Whether it’s trades training, a degree, diplo-

Ex-Rockets hoist NHL hardware

I

f the rest of the hockey world wasn’t already well aware of who the Kelowna Rockets were by now, then the events of Wednesday night in Las Vegas should put the Western Hockey League club on the map once and for all. In what was perhaps the finest hour ever for the Western Hockey League club—with the exception of the 2004 Memorial Cup title—two ex-Rockets took to the stage in the Nevada city to accept major NHL awards. Duncan Keith grabbed the Norris Trophy as the NHL’s outstanding defenceman, while Tyler Myers wrapped his long arms around the Calder Trophy as the league’s top rookie. The awards were new benchmarks, not only for the players themselves, but for Rockets architect Bruce Hamilton and the rest of his organization. “I’m sure happy for those guys and their families,” said Hamilton,

lot of good years ahead of them,” he said. “And we’ve got a few other guys we could be hearing from in the years to come as well. “Those guys are best recruiters we have and they represent what we’re building in Kelowna.” Keith, who played with the Rockets during the 2002-03 campaign, was nothing short of spectacular for the Chicago Blackhawks this season with career highs of 14 goals and 69 points. He was equally brilliant in the playoffs in leading the Hawks to their first Stanley Cup title in 49 years. The Penticton product, who regularly dazzles teammates and opponents alike with his waterbug-like skating ability, was both humbled and gratified to have his name etched on the prestigious piece of hockey history. “To come out and be the guy who gets the award is kind of surreal a little bit,” Keith said on nhl.com. “To think of the

Warren Henderson the Rockets president and GM who was in Vegas to watch the festivities. “I’m proud of those guys, our whole organization is thrilled to see what they’ve gone on to do. They’re great players and great people, and that’s what’s most gratfying. It was a pretty special night.” The Kelowna franchise has a penchant for churning out big-league defenceman—Shea Weber, Josh Gorges, Kyle Cumiskey, Luke Schenn and Alex Edler among them. And all of them are likely years away from the peaks of their careers. “What’s really neat is that those guys, Tyler and Duncan, are both still young and they’ve got a

other defencemen who have won it, and nominated, and the other Blackhawk players who have won it, Chris Chelios, Pierre Pilote to name a couple, to be in that group is kind of unbelievable.” To say Myers’ rookie season with the Buffalo Sabres was a hit would be a gross understatement. The sky-scraping, 6-foot-8 blue liner proved quickly that at just 19, he not only belonged, but thrived in the same domain as the game’s top pros. Myers led all Sabres in ice time per game (23:44) and topped all rookie defencemen with 11 goals and 37 assist for 48 points. Myers, who thanked the Rockets organization at length during his acceptance speech, was humbled to be mentioned in the same breath as three former defenceman who previously won the Calder—hall of famers Bobby Orr, Ray Bourque and Brian Leetch.

EX-ROCKET Tyler Myers (inset photo contributed) won the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s top rookie. Former Rocket Duncan Keith (photo by Mark Brett, Black Press) added the Norris Trophy to his Stanley Cup and Olympic gold medal wins this season. “To be put in a group like that…to hear those names is a huge honour,”

said Myers who led the Rockets to a berth in the Memorial Cup in 2009. “I

▼ NHL ENTRY DRAFT

Bulmer buoyed for career making draft day Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

As a 15-year-old, Brett Bulmer didn’t garner much attention in the Western Hockey League bantam draft. The same can’t be said leading up to this weekend’s NHL entry draft in Los Angeles. The Kelowna Rockets forward is rated 65th by the Central Scouting Bureau among North American skaters, making him a potential third or

fourth round selection on Saturday. Bulmer came away from last month’s fitness testing and interviews at the NHL combine in Toronto having impressed a number of teams, including the Montreal Canadiens. The Habs flew the 6-foot-3 Prince George native to Montreal for a closer look following the combine. Still, Bulmer knows nothing is for certain come draft day and he plans to celebrate regardless of which team calls his name. “I’m really anxious to see who it’s

going to be,” said Bulmer, 18, who was selected by Kelowna in the 11th round of the 2007 WHL bantam draft. “I’m just going to stay home, watch it all on T.V. and see what happens. It’s a pretty exciting time for me.” Bulmer’s stock rose dramatically during the course of the 2009-10 season as the big forward jumped nearly 100 places from the mid-term to the year-end Central Scouting rankings. Rockets assistant GM Lorne Frey knows exactly what all the fuss over Bulmer is about.

“He’s a power forward with a lot of skill, he has very quick hands and we like his competitiveness,” Frey said of Bulmer during WHL season. “He’s going to be a good all-around player.” As the season wore on, Bulmer played a more prominent role with the Rockets and finished with 13 goals and 40 points in 65 games. It’s safe to say Bulmer has come a long way since almost being passed over in the 2007 bantam draft. “I’ve never given up, I’ve always believed in myself and I think that’s

really helped me along the way,” he said. “All my life I’ve been dreaming about this and it’s definitely a really big step.” Two other Rockets are ranked by Central Scouting: defenceman Antoine Corbin is rated 171st, while fellow blue liner Mitchell Chapman comes in at 192. Defenceman Colton Jobke isn’t ranked but could draw some interest this weekend. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

▼ NHL DRAFT

Healthy Hamilton ready for good news from entry draft Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

In a season marked mostly by bad breaks, Curtis Hamilton is ready for a bit of uplifting news for a change. The 18-year-old forward for the Saskatoon Blades is projected as a possible late second or third round pick for this

weekend’s NHL entry draft in Los Angeles. Hamilton, a 6-foot2 Kelowna Minor Hockey product, broke his left collarbone not once, but twice during the 2009-10 WHL campaign. Then in the playoffs, Hamilton was felled a third time by a dislocated shoulder. Despite playing in just 26 regular season games,

Hamilton’s stock went up during the course of the season. He is currently rated 42nd among North American skaters for the draft, a spike of 14 places from Central Scouting’s midseason rankings. “I think it shows they have confidence in me, that they still think I’m a good player even with all the injuries and troubles I

had,” said Hamilton who had seven goal and 16 points in the regular season. “It’s going to be extremely exciting to find out who picks me.” Blades head coach and GM Lorne Molleken, for one, isn’t surprised that NHL scouts have continued to show plenty of interest in Hamilton. “I think No. 1, his

character speaks volumes,” said Molleken. “He’s a kid with unlimited potential. I say that because he’s big, he’s strong and he reads the game extremely well. He’s played in all situations for us and I can see him doing the same one day as a pro.” As for any prefer-

ence for which team calls Hamilton’s name on Saturday, the affable teenager insists any one of 30 clubs would be just fine. “I grew up watching all the teams, so any one of them would be great,” said Hamilton. “Just to get drafted, period, would be an honour.”

Strong turnout for Canada Day blast A record 16 teams and $12,400 in prize money will highlight the seventh edition of the Kelowna Jays Canada Day Baseball Blast Tournament. The annual tourney will be played over five days from June 30 to July 4 at both Elks Stadium and Boucherie Park. For the first time, the event will feature significant international flavour with three teams competing from the Pacific Northwest—Seattle Studs, Everett Merchants and Thurston County Capitals—and one from California, the San Francisco Seals. The defending champion Coquitlam Angels along with three-time winner Burnaby Bulldogs will also be back to try and regain their titles. A new feature this year will be a home run hitting contest on Saturday, July

2 at 6 p.m. That will be followed at 8 p.m. by the feature game between the Jays and Calgary Red Birds.

Peewee Heat to semi’s The Kelowna peewee Heat more than held its own last weekend at a girls fastball tournament in Everett, Wash. Playing against mostly older opposition in the U14 division, the Heat made it as far as the semifinals before losing to the Delta bantam A Heat 4-3.

The Heat went 2-and1 in the round robin, then defeated Bainbridge 7-1 in the opening game of the playoffs. “They competed very well, continually getting better with each game they played,” Heat coach Tracy Light said. First-year rep players had a solid tournament

in the batter’s box with a .750 average in the round robin. The Heat are Shea Skarbo, Tessa Barbour, Miranda Helmink, Laurelle Arpin, Lhori Webster, Latisha Williams, Emily Turton, Sydney Klassen, Taylor Bengert and Julia Lambert.

Warriors on entry draft radar A pair of Westside Warriors are ranked by Central Scouting heading into this weekend’s National Hockey League entry draft in Los Angeles. Forward Grayson Downing is rated 144th among North American skaters. The 6-foot-0 170 pound Abbotsford native

scored 18 goals and added 18 assists in 43 games during the 2009-10 BCHL season. Defenceman Spencer Humphries is ranked 172nd. The 18-year-old Delta product had two goals and 14 points for the Warriors last season.

WARRIORS TRADE

The Westside Warriors have acquired 17-year-old defenceman Tom Kroshus from the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s Camrose Kodiaks. In exchange, the War-

riors give up 20-year-old forward Cole Wilson. The 6-foot, 180 pound Kroshus, who has committed to attend Princeton University following his junior career, had three goals and 11 assists for the Kodiaks last season. Wilson, a native of White Rock, had 15 goals and 29 assists in 60 games for the Warriors in 200910. “In order to acquire talent, we needed to give quality and Cole was not only a great player, but was a great ambassador

for our club,” said Warriors coach and GM Darren Yopyk. “ We are excited about the addition of Tom who will help fill some voids due to graduation on our blue line.” Meanwhile, the Warriors have released their schedule for the 2010-11 BCHL season. Westside will play four exhibition games beginning Friday, August 27 at home to Penticton. The Warriors will open the regular season Friday, Sept. 10 against the Vees at Royal LePage Place.

Jones, MacGillivray take beach volley top honours For the second week in a row, Kelowna Secondary School grads Kailin Jones and Clarice MacGillivray took top honours on the beach volleyball circuit. And for the second week in a row, they derfeated indoor teammates Jen Meyer and Chandler Proch in the final. Jones and MacGillivray went unbeaten throughout the day at Okanagan Volleyball’s Sand Series #1 last Saturday at City Park, capping it off with a 25-17 win over Meyer and Proch in the 24U women’s division. UBCO Heat players Alex Basso and Leigh Dreher took third place after a very up and down day, beating B.C. Summer Games beach partners Nikki Valgardson and Megan Ramstad. The 24U men’s division saw 11 teams com-

pete with longtime Penticton beach duo Nate Speijer and Eric Niehe beating the 17-year-old B.C. Summer Games beach pair Calvin Heinrichs and Tanner March 25-17 in the last match of the day. Third place went to Keegan Hoffman and Erik Redfern of Kelowna after Adam Schwarz and Davis Proch had to retire the match due to illness. In the16U girls division last week’s champion, Kaitlynn Given, paired up with a different partner, Penticton’s Jamie Craig, to try to repeat. And repeat is what she did, taking the final in two sets (21-11, 23-21) over Alia McLure and Cayte Wilson by a mixture of tough serving and outstanding defense. Breanne Enright and Kate Roseberry took third place after a grueling three-set semi final against Given and Craig. Repeat champions

was the theme of the day on Saturday as 16U boys Liam Birker and Ty Campbell beat out the competition to take the top spot. Scott Marshall and Ryan Patterson were a great opposition, forcing Birker and Campbell to come up with some superb digs and shots to take the final 21-12, 21-17. Brother duo Dane and Isaac Smit took third over first time beach players Kirill Dubrovskiy and Matt Tetrault in a hard fought three-set match, 10-21, 21-17, 15-11. In the 14U boys divison Penticton’s Matt Stadnyk and Logan Mend downed Blair Anderson and Tanner Johnson 2118, 21-19 in the final.

They’ve been labeled alternative country, and the way one band member tells it the “alternative” portion likely stems from their upbringing. Originally from the Ottawa Valley, cousins Dave and Ryan McEathron’s life looked like the Partridge family’s, with a giant house of musicians—and one band member who claims to have won the Nobel Peace Prize. Yes, The Warped 45s have music in their bones, says Dave McEathron, and more stories to tell than they have tunes in their repertoire; although most tales, like this one about the musical house,

didn’t really occur. It’s just his special way of drawing in the interviewers. “You can write it if you want,” he says, giving a tone-setting giggle. Having never toured through Kelowna, its hard to imagine just what the group is like on stage, but one has to respect the effort to entertain. Anyone willing to spin a yarn so wild it defies time and space—the Peace Prize, he claims, was won in 1924 by this version—is probably going to keep an audience smiling, at the very least, and the reviews suggest The Warped 45s are no slouches at performing their music either. In fact, they have had quite the impact on Toron-

TORONTO’S The Warped 45s are turning heads across the country for their unique twist of Canadian roots music. to’s well-developed roots scene, earning critical acclaim despite their highly eclectic style.

worry themselves they take things too far outside the box. “Roots music isn’t always known for innovation,” McEathron explains. “In roots and folk you kind of have the purist police and sometimes you can kind of get locked out.” Thankfully, that hasn’t been the case; although it doesn’t sound like they would stop testing the waters, no matter what the critics said. Whether mixing up the mandolin for a harmonica or trying a heavy rock track over a classic country melody, the band appears to enjoy finding balance between new musical influences and the classic, pulling on the heartstrings of the Canadiana genre. And like Gordon Lightfoot and Joni Mitchell, forefathers of their sound, their stories are never garden variety. In an interview in January’s View magazine, out of Hamilton, McEathron describes the complexities of what they’ve written. “There are themes being raised through a few characters about how they are living, or if they even deserve to live, and there is exploration of nature, but under the sphere of pollution and terror with just enough hope to make it digestible,” he said. It sounds heavy, but a quick listen to the album finds they’re really quite uplifting with one tune resembling a gospel singalong. Filled with Thunder Bay’s famous Finnish pancake breakfast as they head out on this, their second, B.C. tour,

it’s hard to pair the man on the phone with anything heavy or downtrodden anyway. The tour will only last 20 days, but the group has managed to work in several stops in this province, with back-to-back performances some days. Three years in, The Warped 45s feel more like veterans of the road, McEathron says, having seen several bands come and go already. “We hope we’re one of those bands like the Sadies that are doing their best work 10, 12 years in,” he says. He and his cousin, Ryan McEathron, initially got together to form a group six years ago by jamming a few family songs; but they put the effort on hold until Ryan returned from Australia, having overstayed his welcome on a three-year stint to attend teacher college. An email went outj upon his return and everyone who responded is in the band—no tricky selection process. “I don’t think any of us would ever want to go back to working solo,” McEathron said. “There’s some magic that can happen when five people all decide they really like a song. There’s power in the numbers and the volume and the instrumentation.” The band members include the cousins, multiinstrumentalist Kevin Hewitt, drummer Harnal Finn Raye and bassist Ale Needleman.

Time to see if old stars still have lustre T

his weekend we get to see if some of the biggest stars of the past 20 years still have it. Tom Cruise has been a superstar since he danced in his tighty whities in Risky Business; however, his star has been waning as of late. His recent appearance at this year’s MTV Movie Awards as his Tropic Thunder character Les Grossman has helped bring attention to himself, especially with a younger generation, but will he have enough drawing power from both young and old to make Knight and Day a hit? Cruise re-teams with his Vanilla Sky co-star Cameron Diaz in an overthe-top action comedy in which he plays an international super spy who accidentally gets involved with an ordinary, everytday woman. The story sounds very familiar (a few weeks back, Killers tried it with a somewhat younger couple) but it offers what a summer movie is supposed to—two hours of escapism. It is probably not

TOM CRUISE and Cameron Diaz star in the action-comedy Knight and Day are not going to act like adults. For extra insurance, it also stars Salma Hayek, Maria Bello and Maya Rudolph and watch for appearances from Sandler regulars Steve Buschemi and Norm MacDonald. Again, you know what you are getting into so just sit back and enjoy. If you are tired of the check-your-brain-at-thedoor summer movie fare, the Paramount Theatre again comes to the rescue. The documentary Babies

may not be the most challenging movie in its genre, but its formula (if you will excuse the pun) will both entertain and enlighten. The filmmakers follow four babies from birth until they are one year old. What is fascinating is that the four babies are from four different corners of the world: Opuwo, Namibia; Tokyo, Japan; Bayanchandmani, Mongolia; and San Francisco, California. What I am interested in seeing are the

Give your time, talent and treasures T

hrift stores play an important role in our community that is both environmental and humane. The environment slogan of “reduce, recycle and reuse” begs questions like where and how. Thrift stores provide a place for good quality, but rno longer needed items to be passed along to others. The phrase “one person’s tjunk is another person’s treasure” can become a fulfilled prophecy. A person’s needs can be met in a practical way. f There is one thrift shop that offers all of their items at no cost for shoppers. There are free clothes, bedding, furniture and household necessities. This service is a gift to our community by the Adventist Community Services—no strings are attached. There are two ways for you to become involved. You can donate gently used items. When tidying your closets or cupboards, why not ask yourself: “When was tthe last time I used this or wore this?” If the answer is a year or more, donate it.

Donations are received on Mondays between 10 a.m. and noon. The thrift store is open to the public on Tuesdays and Wednesdays between the same hours. The second way you can be involved is to donate your time and talent. Do you like to work behind the scenes? Are you interested in sorting, organizing and displaying items to their best advantage? These skills are needed every week to keep product flowing through the store in a timely way. Maybe you enjoy interacting with the public and helping them find what is needed. Your eye for colour and style can assist others in their choices to outfit themselves and their homes. For more information, to donate or to volunteer, contact Thelma by email at thelma-davis@shaw.ca or phone 250-860-5096. The Thrift Store is located at 130 Gerstmar Rd in Kelowna, V1X 4A7.

going to increase the Cruise’s bankability, but it will keep him in the spotlight long enough to make the next Mission Impossible and the movie based on his popular Les Grossman character. Adam Sandler gets back to the humour that made him famous in Grown Ups. After a relatively unsuccessful serious (but still comical) turn in Funny People (I say relatively because it and others like Spanglish and Reign Over Me were still good movies, just not financially successful), he finds a story that has him play a man his age but allows him to flashback to characters like Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore. In Grown Ups, he and four high school friends reunite in the wake of the death of their old basketball coach and decide to spend the weekend together with their families at the lake house where they celebrated their championship.

A way out of the HST quagmire

D

espite the intense pressure of the Fight HST petition campaign and the first defection of a government MLA, it’s still tough to imagine the B.C. Liberals willingly scrapping the harmonized sales tax. Economists generally agree the tax is good policy—removing the PST businesses pay on their inputs—will help them compete with other jurisdictions and should spur economic growth and job creation. Yet, there are unfortunate ef-

fects of the move to an HST. A burgeoning black market economy by HST avoiders is likely. And the tax hits some groups of businesses, notably restaurants, harder than others. Still, the HST takes effect soon and it appears to be a cake that will be difficult—and possibly unwise—to unbake. An extended political fight over the tax that drags on for months and years will be an unproductive expenditure of B.C.’s energy and cast a cloud of uncertainty over our investment cli-

mate. Voters will get their chance to punish the Liberals in the next election. But if the HST is here to stay, what else can be done to make it more equitable now? Keep in mind the HST, at its core, is the elimination of $2 billion in taxes paid by businesses – a huge benefit to them. Some of that burden will shift onto consumers, although how much depends on the degree to which businesses pass along their savings in the form of lower prices. Meanwhile, government has steadily chopped corporate in-

come tax rates in recent years. If this government—or the next—wants to sweeten the bitter HST pill, it could engineer a reverse shift in favour of the people. Bump corporate income tax rates a notch higher and use the money to lower personal income tax rates. No doubt, businesses will not be fond of giving back some of their HST gains, however, it could be the salvation of the tax reform they support, and a way out of the present quagmire.

School’s temporarily out for teachers’ union tantrums

M

argaret MacDiarmid is the latest in a long line of B.C. education ministers to confront a huge public school teachers’ union that has, shall we say, control issues. MacDiarmid has had a busy spring, first trying to wrest control of the B.C. College of Teachers away from the union, and then trying to bring to heel the union’s yappiest puppet school board, that of Vancouver. Let’s deal with Vancouver first. Like much of B.C. it is facing declining enrolment due to a profound demographic shifts. It has already been passed by fast-growing Surrey as the largest school district in the province.

The annual Vancouver school district puppet show features the board chair moaning about a looming deficit, and voicing B.C. Teachers’ Federation talking points about increased perstudent funding not being enough to deal with decreased student numbers. MacDiarmid dispatched the provincial government’s top accountant to examine the budget that claimed an $18-million shortfall. After 20 years of watching local politics, I’m not surprised what the comptroller-general found.

Vancouver’s trustees haven’t done the toughest part of a school board’s job, which is to close schools where there aren’t enough students Tom to keep them open. Fletcher They’ve also relaxed bus transportation limits, providing service beyond what is required. These things are done because they’re easier than facing the wrath of parents deprived of undeserved convenience at the expense of the whole district. It is a familiar story at school board meetings, which typically devolve into a two-part union meeting,

VICTORIA VIEWS

BCTF demands followed by CUPE support staff demands. Vancouver’s board has also overruled its senior finance staff, spending one-time provincial funds as if they are annual. This is clearly to stage a confrontation, so the union can spend millions from its compulsory dues to advertise that the current provincial government (of whatever stripe) is neglecting school kids. MacDiarmid has also brought in an outside expert to examine the B.C. College of Teachers, after a majority of its board wrote to advise her that the BCTF is using its college seats to protect misbehaving teachers from discipline. College chair Richard Walker is

no B.C. Liberal hatchet man. A former union local president himself, he had his own showdown with former education minister Christy Clark after Clark sacked the BCTF-backed college board members a few years back. In an interview, Walker used the example of a girl in Grade 1 who needed help with a prosthetic limb so she could participate in class. The teacher refused. The union and district went through the usual protracted wrangle over contract language, and the teacher was finally ordered to do her job. So she snapped on rubber gloves in front of the humiliated kid, apparently concerned that amputation See FletcherA21

â–ź DOWNTOWN PLANNING

Confident better plan ahead than CD-21 offered To the editor: Just reading Jennifer Smith’s column: Tone Down the Downtown Kelowna Debate for Awhile, (June 18 Capital News) and you mentioned Michael J. Fox having ALS.

I think you meant Parkinson’s disease, right? Loved your column. I for one am pleased we are having another look at the entire downtown instead of focusing on the four block (former proposed

CD-21 zone) area. We have a lot to be proud of and it can only get better. My issue is, we must do a social impact study as that is what got this CD-21 zone discussion started in the first place.

We were trying to cleanup Leon/Lawrence and move people to another part of the city. We need to have a comprehensive plan for the needy and not just build classy highrises near

the water for the rich and not-always-living-here residents. I am confident we can do better. Barbara Carroll, Kelowna

â–ź HIGHRISE DEBATE

Growing upward hasn’t proved to be a way to keep housing prices affordable To the editor: I wish to respond to Colin Ferguson’s recent letter: Kelowna ‘Left in the Dust’ by Other Cities (June 20 Capital News), where he defends the now defunct CD-21 zone. His letter is so full of hyperbole, false assumptions and flawed reasoning that it would be a crime to let it go unanswered. But beyond it being an embarrassment to the author, the real tragedy is that his perspective is shared by many people in our city not just as it applies to CD 21 but to high-density, highrise development in general. Ferguson begins his letter by exaggerating the condition of our downtown, depicting the situation as being hopeless without highrise develop-

capital news A25

ment. Stating that: “The streets are empty except for the occasional drug dealer or homeless person huddled in the nook of a building‌â€? Ferguson must only go downtown at 4 a.m. because every time that I’m there the streets are full of people and street parking is hard to come by. He also states that “hardly any new development has happened in the downtown area.â€? Is he not aware of the Worman building which has recently been completed at a height of seven storeys, despite all the “expertâ€? claims that heights of 20 storeys plus were needed to entice developers to the area? Then Ferguson makes one of the most absurd

statements I have ever heard, saying: â€œâ€Śwe need to make our city more sustainable by increasing the density.â€? How, pray tell, is it possible to achieve a condition where human numbers are in balance with the resources needed to support them over the long term—this being the true definition of sustainability—by adding yet more people to our ecosystem, regardless of how far apart these people are spaced? Highrise dwellers use water too, do they not? In fact, one Australian study showed that residents of highrises were more wasteful of water than those of single family homes. I don’t think that Fer-

guson comprehends the terms ecological footprint and carrying capacity. Ferguson says that increasing density slows urban sprawl and increases housing affordability. I’m glad at least here he didn’t say that increasing density stops urban sprawl because it doesn’t. Portland, Oregon has been a model for so-called “smart growth� i.e., growth through densification, and despite its best efforts it has had to extend its greenbelt limiting linear growth on two different occasions in the past 20 years and is now considering doing it for a third time. So much for trying to stop sprawl by “growing up, not out!� And as far as cities

with higher densities having more affordable housing is concerned, Vancouver has the highest densities in Canada but also the most expensive housing. Furthermore, Portland, which I have already mentioned, has an affordability problem of its own. Ferguson writes about Kelowna being “left behind in the dust� by other cities as if cityhood where a race to somewhere, presumably to greater size with taller buildings. He talks in his letter about wanting to move, which I would encourage him to do as I think there are many other cities elsewhere that are a better match for him and his materialistic values.

Union strength vs. education Fletcher from A20 might be contagious. The district, no doubt weary of these kinds of fights, gave up and transferred the teacher to another school. Thus the teacher escaped discipline at the district level, and under the letter of the law could not be evaluated for professionalism by the college. The girl’s moth-

er, not wanting to just pass the problem along, made a direct complaint to the college. There have been 270 of these direct complaints since the college created the option in 2003. Not one has been upheld, and Walker says that is because the union blocks discipline whenever it can. The Vancouver

school board has been told to fix its budget by the end of June or be removed from office. A former deputy minister will report on the state of the teachers’ college this fall. Stay tuned. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

▼ MP’S REPORT

Parliament debate not always reflective of popular opinion W

hen the House of Commons is in session, the political arena has a way of dominating our impression of this country. It doesn’t always paint the most positive picture nor does it reflect what people like you and I are thinking. For this reason, I am relieved to be back and working in the riding for the summer.

Ron Cannan It gives me a chance to reconnect with the con-

stituency and get a good idea of where you really stand on matters affecting this great country of ours. That’s why, on top of the many events and meetings that I’ll attend in the riding this summer, I plan on dropping into a few neighbourhoods to knock on doors and get your feedback on what’s important to you. Good or bad, I want to hear what you have to say. As we head into our

Canada Day celebrations (check out my website for a full listing of events in Kelowna-Lake Country at www.cannan.ca), it is the right time to focus on what’s good and positive about living in Canada. First, the inflation rate is down and job creation numbers are up. In the report, entitled Canada’s Global Economic Leadership: A Report to Canadians, issued by Finance Minister Jim

GRAND OPENING

Tent sale

Flaherty this week, the numbers show that Canada is far advanced on the key priorities facing G-20 leaders, including fiscal consolidation, trade liberalization and financial sector reform. As Flaherty noted, “Continuing to emerge from the global recession, Canada showed the strongest economic growth in 10 years in the first quarter. “Our government has responded to the recession with the right policies to stimulate the economy and create jobs. We have lowered taxes, invested in infrastructure and training, and boosted support for workers and families.” That’s good news in tough economic times like these. As for our place in the world, the fourth annual Global Peace Index issued by the respected British-based Institute for Economics and Peace lists Canada under “lessons learned from the world’s most peaceful countries stating: “Canada has created a high lev-

el of peacefulness through focusing on the following broad themes: • It is a non-nuclear weapon state and member of the NPT • It promotes sustainable development and human security with an endogenous culture of peace • It is a leading nation in the protection of human rights • Canada actively pursues global cooperation and multi-lateralism, as well as peacekeeping.” Canada doesn’t rate first in the Global Peace Index but that is to be expected when you consider that Canada is more than carrying its share as a member of NATO in the Afghanistan conflict. Still, Canada ranks a respectable 14th out of 149 countries and is considered more “peaceful” than some of the other well-respected nations in the world including Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and Australia. We’d rank even higher, I suspect, if the index took into consideration other things like our prominent position

in calling for sanctions against Iran, our recent efforts to proactively find a peaceful solution to potential disputes in the Arctic or the fact that Canada is using the G8 to focus on non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and on building the capacities of vulnerable states and regions to address peace and security. All this to say, don’t let the naysayers bring you down. I think we can be justifiably proud of what we are accomplishing as a nation and should applaud the balanced, peaceful and sustainable approach we take in dealing with both our domestic and international affairs. We have good reason to be hopeful and confident about our future. Way to go Canada and Happy Birthday, eh. Ron Cannan is the Conservative MP for Kelowna-Lake Country.

The Central Okanagan School District will receive $1,523,500 to purchase 11 new diesel school buses as part of a $12.5-million provincial program to reduce emissions and provide more efficient service to students. “This $1.5-million education investment is yet another example of efficiently funding services that students in the Okanagan need,” said Kelowna-Lake Country Liberal MLA Norm Letnick. The provincial government has invested the $12.5 million to purchase 106 new buses across the province. These new buses re-

duce exhaust particulate emissions by 90 per cent compared to the previous 1994 standard. Clean diesel buses also get 30 to 60 per cent better mileage than gasolinefuelled buses and provide longer service. About 1,200 buses are owned and operated by school districts, and another 600 buses are operated by bus companies under contract. Currently, school districts individually contract to buy buses from manufacturers. “Student transportation services cost more than $90 million annually,” said Education Min-

ister Margaret MacDiarmid. “Over the coming months, we will be looking for new ways to provide bus transportation for students that will save money that can be reinvested in classrooms.” Bulk purchasing and a variety of other cost-saving options are being studied. Some districts like Prince George, Surrey, and Maple Ridge contract out transportation services to private companies and benefit from reduced labour costs. Other school districts provide B.C. Transit bus passes to students.

Gosset Rd. fire ‘suspicious’ Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER

The cause of a fire that damaged at Westside home containing a grow operation is believed to be suspicious. RCMP Cpl. Ralph Jolley said the cause of the Saturday night fire at 2442 Gossett Rd. is still under investigation, but he said investigators believe the cause to be suspicious. West Kelowna firefighters were at a medical incident in the neighbourhood when they were called to the Gossett Road fire at approximate-

ly 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, and were able to arrive at the fire within three and a half minutes, said assistant fire chief Darren Lee. “Upon arrival they found a single family home that was fully charged with heavy black smoke with flames venting out of the front living room window,” said Lee. Firefighters were able to knock most of the fire down from the exterior before going inside to search for possible victims and any remaining fire. “While conducting their search crews discovered a clandestine mari-

juana growing operation,” said Lee. Firefighters pulled back into a defensive position, he said, until B.C. Hydro was able to disconnect the power, making it safe for firefighters to continue putting out the remaining hot spots. Police were called in because of the grow operation discovery, and Jolley said further investigation determined that the grow operation in the basement had been recently harvested. Damage to the home is estimated between $50,000 and $100,000.

Benz R-Class versatile, luxurious Mercedes-Benz calls this crossover an SUV tourer. Lorne Drury CONTRIBUTOR

CONTRIBUTED

THE MERCEDES-BENZ R-CLASS has been redesigned for 2011 with a more macho look up front, but remains true to its roots as a luxurious people-mover.

If the 2011 MercedesBenz R-Class is the new shape of the modern minivan, then bring them on! It has to be one of the classiest looking people movers on the planet, yet for some reason the RClass really hasn’t caught on with the public since its introduction in 2006. Sure, the price tag north of $50K is a roadblock for many, but I really don’t understand why anyone shopping the premium crossover market wouldn’t take a look at the R-Class because it offers great versatility, solid performance and a handsome face. But in the 2009 model year only slightly more than 300 R-Class units

were sold here in Canada. So, Mercedes-Benz set out to redesign the vehicle for 2011. The new model has significant changes to the front end, but it basically stays true to its roots as one of the vehicles that invented the crossover craze. The R-Class now has a more macho look up front and more of a road presence, something the previous generation may have lacked. Mercedes-Benz calls the R-Class the original “SUV tourer,” but in reality it’s part of the crossover movement that has taken the market by storm. Who would have predicted crossovers would overtake sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and minivans, but that’s exactly what has happened in recent years. Interestingly, though, Mercedes-Benz still prefers to call the R-Class an SUV, perhaps in a way to

differentiate it from the masses. Crossovers are everywhere these days and in demand because they are easier to handle than SUVs since they are based on a car instead of a truck platform. They are also generally more fuelefficient and still offer the versatility of a minivan. Mercedes-Benz has nine different variations of the R-Class worldwide, but in Canada only two models are available—the R350 4MATIC and R350 BlueTEC 4MATIC. The 2011 R-Class was unveiled at the New York International Auto in March. It has stunning good looks for a vehicle that offers so much practicality. From a side view, it has coupe-like lines. Designers focused on the front end for the refresh and emphasized the vehicle’s See Mercedes B2

Infiniti G37x Coupe AWD more than just a pretty face In some minds, one of the sexiest cars on the market. Lorne Drury CONTRIBUTOR

I’ve always looked forward to driving Infiniti’s G-series cars, but none more so than the Coupe version. In my opinion it’s always been one of the sexiest cars on the market and it has handling and performance to match the exciting design—all for a reasonably affordable price This time my tester was the G37x Coupe AWD, featuring Infiniti’s ATESSA E-TS all-wheel drive system. This AWD version monitors wheel spin, throttle position and vehicle speed and automatically sends up to 50 per cent of power to the front wheels to enhance traction and control under poor road conditions. When AWD is not needed, up to 100 per cent of the power goes to the rear wheels to preserve the rear-wheel driving charact teristics. The G37x is one of four Coupe models available. Others are the base G37 Coupe, G37 Coupe Sport and G37S Coupe

Sport 6MT. All of them come with a peppy 3.7-litre V6, making 330 hp and 270 lb/ft of torque. Of course, if you want top-down pleasure, there’s always the G37 Convertible to consider. It has a retractable hardtop that stows neatly in the trunk area (leaving not much trunk space though) and starts at $58,300, while the G37 Sedan starts at $38,690. Meanwhile, the Coupe AWD starts at $48,800. My tester had the seven-speed automatic transmission with DS (Drive Sport) mode. Standard on the G37 Coupe is a sixspeed manual transmission. The G37 Coupe was redesigned in 2008 and for 2010 it has only minimal changes with most inside the cabin. The most noticeable is a switch from the previous ‘Washi’ aluminum trim to ‘Shodo’ aluminum style trim, inspired by Japanese calligraphy. Also new are standard eight-way power seats, a new centre console design on automatic models and packaging content changes. Among the changes is the inclusion of the Advanced Climate Control System (ACCS) with air purifier to the Technology

ada anticipates threequarters of its R-Class sales will be the BlueTEC clean diesel models. Compared to its predecessor, the BlueTEC uses less fuel and generates similar emissions to a comparable gasoline engine. The 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel produces 210 hp and 400 lb/ft of torque with a combined city/highway fuel economy rating of 8.4L/100 km (34 mpg). Meanwhile, the 3.5-litre V6 gasoline engine has 268 hp and 258 lb/ft of torque. Power is transferred through a seven-speed automatic transmission and as mentioned, both models get 4MATIC full-time all-wheel drive. On the open road, the R-Class is a treat to drive. As Mercedes-Benz senior product manager for the R-Class Markus Rubenbauer puts it, “this car turns travel into a pleasant experience.� Up to seven passengers can enjoy that ‘pleasant experience.’ An attractive two-tone interior treatment is new for this year along with new gauges. Lots of aluminum, chrome and wood trim accents give it a rich, luxurious look and feel. There’s plenty of room inside, particularly up front. The second row can be configured with a bench seat (for three passengers) or a pair of captain’s chairs with an armrest between. The third row seats two, but with limited legroom. What makes the R-Class such a versatile vehicle is the cargo space. There is 633 litres behind the rear seat, but with all rear seats folded, that space becomes 2,385 litres. Folding the seats is not a snap like on most of today’s minivans, though. The rear headrests have to be removed for the seats to folded and they don’t fit under the floor like the Stow ‘n Go in the Chrysler products. Standard interior features include power adjustable driver’s seat, autodimming mirrors, leather covered steering wheel and shift knob, sliding glass sunroof (a panoramic sunroof comes with the Premium Package). On the safety front, the R-Class keeps up with the crowd, featuring eight airbags, Neck-Pro headrests and an anticipatory occupant safety system called Pre-Safe. We got to spend about four hours in the R-Class in and around New York

City on a variety of different roads. This car is more comfortable on the open road for a number of reasons. It’s bigger than it looks at 2,335 (5,137 lb) and 5,127 mm in length, making it a bit difficult to park in tight spaces. Thankfully, it has a rear view camera because it is difficult to back up as are many vehicles of this type. The turning circle of 12.60 m also is not conducive to flitting about in tight city quarters. On the highway, though, it shines. The RClass give a wonderful, quiet and smooth ride, easily soaking up all but the worst of potholes and bumps. It’s no performance sedan and it’s not meant to be, but Mercedes lists a 0-100 km/h time of 8.9 seconds for the BlueTEC model, certainly plenty fast enough for any situation. And if I was to choose between the gasoline or diesel engine, I would certainly go for the diesel. My driving partner and I got to see how well the vehicle performs in a ‘panic stop’ situation when a commercial van pulled right in front of us from a turning lane, forcing my co-driver to hit the brakes as hard as he could. Luckily, we narrowly missed a collision and can vouch for certain that the brakes and seatbelts in the vehicle work like a charm—a lucky charm for us. So while the R-Class is a big and heavy vehicle, it has a great deal of versatility with the variety of seating configurations and cargo capacity. To me, it is one of the best looking and luxurious SUVs (or crossovers) on the market and deserves a look for anyone shopping the premium luxury market. Prices will be announced closer to launch time in late summer.

to it. There’s plenty of acceleration for any type of driving, but note that the 3.7-litre V6 requires premium unleaded fuel. The engine is a strong performer and has a beautiful, muscular sound when you press hard on the throttle. The competition is stiff in the sport coupe segment with cars like the Audi A5, BMW 3-Series, Hyundai Genesis Coupe and even the Chevrolet Camaro fighting it out for buyers, but only the first two offer all-wheel drive like the G37, an important feature here in Canada for drivers who want a fourseason vehicle. All are fine cars, but I don’t believe the G37 can be touched when it comes to overall exterior design, something that plays a big role with buyers in this segment.

rished with great seats and a pleasant atmosphere. The rear seat area is very rlimited with tight headroom because of the sloping roofline. I think it rwould only be used occasionally, as this is more of a two-person car. The front seats, unlike the rear, have lots of legroom. On the safety front, the G37 Coupe has an adtvanced airbag system with dual stage supplemental front airbags, roof mounted side curtain airbags and front seat mounted side timpact airbags. As I mentioned earlier, I think the G37 Coupe is the most visually appealing of all G-series models and during my week with it I had several people stop to talk and admire the stylfing and comment on the striking blue paint colour. Unlike some sport sedan wannabees, this car has the performance to match its great looks. The seven-speed automatic transmission performs flawlessly and the car never seems to be searching for the right gear as you often find in a fivespeed or even some sixspeeds. It shifts smoothly and quickly, but if want a more sporty experience rsimply put it in manual mode and do the shifting yourself. The G37 Coupe has four-wheel independent multi-link suspension fwith stabilizer bars and this produces a firm, yet fstable ride. It doesn’t soak up the bumps and potholes as well as some of its German rivals, but it’s not an uncomfortable ride either—it’s just firm. On hard corners it grips the road well and the steering has a very precise feel

Toyota Venza latest take on family station wagon Lorne Drury CONTRIBUTOR

It’s funny how things evolve in the automobile business. We used to have station wagons but they fell out of favour. Then came sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and they began to lose their lustre due to their size and gas-guzzling nature. Now it’s crossovers that are all the rage—sport utility-type vehicles based on a car rather than a truck platform. Crossovers are everywhere these days, cutting into sales of both SUVs and mid-size sedans. They offer the best of both worlds—car like ride and handling combined with the utility of a wagon

or small SUV. One of the sportiest is the Toyota Venza, to my mind the sleekest design in the entire Toyota lineup. Toyota used to sell a Camry wagon, but no longer. The Venza has taken its place, sharing the same basic platform as the Camry but with its own distinct interior. Toyota likes to say the Venza doesn’t fit into any automotive segment. In their literature they describe it as a “stylish alternative to the traditional sedan” and there’s no denying that. But when you get right down to it, the Venza is really the latest take on the venerable old family station wagon. For Toyota, the Ven-

za is an important vehicle because it was the first Toyota specifically aimed at the North American audience. Built in Kentucky and designed in California, the Venza also has several features included with Canadians in mind. For example, the rocker panels have been lowered and covered by the door panel, while the doorsills have been narrowed. This helps keep slush and snow out in the winter months and also helps ease entry and exit to the cabin. The utility part of the Venza equation comes into play with its cargo capacity. It offers 1.99 cu m (70.1 cu ft) of storage space behind the front seats and is available with all-wheel drive.

These might strike you as a little radical at first, but after stepping inside, you’ve got to wonder why someone didn’t do this sooner. The aerodynamic nose design utilizes wasted space allowing for approximately 75 sq. ft. of additional living area, plus provides for better towability and fuel economy. Once inside you’ll immediately notice the extra space, for example the open and useable kitchen layout of the 28WFK.

The Venza is offered in four trim levels with fourcylinder or V6 power and front- or all-wheel-drive (AWD). The starting price is $29,310 for the 182 hp, 2.7-litre four-cylinder model with front-wheel drive. Add AWD and the price jumps to $30,760. The 268 hp 3.5-litre V6 model with front-wheel

drive starts at $30,800 and jumps to $32,250 for AWD. My tester was the fourcylinder AWD with Premium Package that priced out at $35,010 ($36,500 with freight and delivery). A six-speed automatic transmission is standard throughout the trim lines. The Premium Pack-

$29,3120, the Venza has an upscale interior for a mid-priced vehicle. Note the shifter, located midway up the centre stack.

Car-like ride, wagon utility Venza from B6 variety of other packages are available; visit www. toyota.ca for further details. Years ago a fourcylinder engine would have been unheard of in a vehicle like this, but times have changed and Toyota is now offering the fourbanger in most of its models, even the seven-passenger Highlander SUV and the mid-size Camry sedan. This is plenty of power for most applications and unless you’re using the Venza to pull a small boat or travel trailer, it’s more than enough engine for the job. Towing capacity is rated at 1134 kg (2,500 lb) for the four-cylinder and 1,587 (3,500 lb) for the V6. The five-seat Venza sits on a wheelbase of 2,775 mm (109.3 in) yet it’s nearly the same width as the seven-passenger Highlander. That translates into pretty decent head and legroom both front and rear. The rear seats sit stadium style (i.e. slightly elevated) to improve sightlines and recline for comfort on long road trips. Pull up a lever at either side of the 60/40 split rear seats and they fold flat into the floor. With the rear seat up there is 0.87 cu m (30.7 cu ft) of cargo room. The interior has a very upscale look to it and I particularly like the material used on the dashboard. It has an unusual design to it and looks much more appealing than the ‘pebbly’ look used by most manufacturers. The captain’s-style front seats are comfortable, but for a six-footer like myself could use a

bit more length in the seat bottom. The six-speed transmission works smoothly and rarely seems to be searching for the correct gear. While the four-cylinder engine has enough power for most applications, it’s a touch noisy on hard acceleration but quiets down at speed. The rear view camera, part of the Premium Package, is useful because the rear roof pillars obscure rearward vision. The only downside is the small size of the rearview camera screen atop the dash. Overall, though, the Toyota Venza offers a unique alternative to the family sedan, station wagon or sport utility vehicle. It combines some of the best attributes of each in a stylish, up-to-date package that is aimed at the North American market.

Highly stylized and based loosely on the 1969 model, this fifth generation Camaro has wildly exaggerated fenders, a super wide track and bigger than life 20-inch wheels. It looks super. In terms of its engineering, the 2010 bears nothing in common with Camaros that have gone before except for the en-

duction plant in St. Therese, PQ, vowing it would never build a Camaro again. So after 35 continuous years in production, the Camaro was dead ... or so it seemed. Much to my surprise and that of many others, GM showed a Camaro concept in 2006 followed by a convertible concept the year after. I think we all knew Chevy was go-

Al Oppenheiser, the chief engineer on the project has said, “I think the single biggest engineering feat we pulled off in the new Camaro is chassis control.” You can tell how stiff the chassis is just by the solid feeling it imparts. High and ultra high strength steels were used in the unibody to great ef-

Transmission will handle lots of torque Camaro from B9 fect. The front suspension is based on MacPherson struts but it goes far be-

yond with progressive rate coil springs and double ball joints with stabilizer bar. The suspension is fully adjustable for toe in/ out, camber and caster.

is adjustable for toe and camber. And get this; a limited slip rear differential is standard. Also standard are ABS

and brake assist, stability control with traction control as well as six airbags. A six-speed manual transmission is standard with six-speed automatic

with sequential manual shift mode optional. The manual is sourced from Tremec and is very positive in its shifts. You can also tell this transmission can handle lots of torque. You can feel that the shifter is connected to a bunch of very big gears in the box. Delicate like a Miata it ain’t, but it perfectly suits the character of the car. There are three engines starting with a four cam 3.6-litre V6 with direct fuel injection producing 304 hp and 372 lb/ ft of torque. This is found on the entry level LS, 1LT and 2LT trim levels. Next up is the SS (for Super Sport) with 6.2-litre OHV V8 producing a full 426 hp and 420 lb/ft of torque. Premium gas is recommended. Fuel consumption is rated at 13.2/8.2/11.0L/100 km city/highway/combined. The other engine is also a 6.2-litre only on the SS with automatic. With Active Fuel Management it produces 400 hp and 410 lb/ft of torque. There are two trim levels, the 1SS and the 2SS. Pricing for the 1SS starts at $37,065 and comes with a number of goodies like 20-inch alloy wheels, Brembo four-caliper disk brakes at all four corners, performance suspension and OnStar for a year. The car tested here is the top line 2SS ($42,880 as tested including $1,350 shipping fee) with 426 hp motor which brings with it a nine-speaker, 245-watt Boston Acoustics sound system, heated front sports seats and Bluetooth connectivity. On the transmission tunnel are four stylized gauges based on the original Z28 for volts, oil temperature, oil pressure and transmission fluid temperature). But the most important addition is the 20-inch (8-in front/9-in rear) alloy wheels with high performance tires. Because of the very high belt line and low roof, getting in takes a little contortion of the hips and you have to watch the big and heavy door doesn’t come back on you. Once in, you’re very in - meaning the dashboard is almost at eye level as are the doorsills. Luckily there is backup sonar. To the front, the hood goes out a long way and then drops off. This is a car where you have to know

where the four corners are. This is due, of course, to the way the car is styled and you can accept a few compromises for the way it looks. One of the compromises is the trunk. Due to the shape of the rear fenders, the opening more like a hatch. There is a full 370 litres (11.3 cu in) of cargo space, enough for three golf bags but you’ll need to take the drivers out of the bag to get them in. Luckily the back seatback folds forward and this is a pass through. All that is forgotten with a twist of the ignition key that leads to a grunt as those big pistons start to move. As it catches, you get the first sound of a big V8 rumbling into life. The clutch isn’t heavy but it’s not light. Travel is smooth and measured so you don’t come stumbling off the line. Then the V8 gods take over and you can actually feel the torque at the rear as the tires dig in. I’m sure you could turn off the stability/traction control and “burn rubber” but why? It’s so much fun to feed in the power with your right foot and change up a gear two-thirds of the way to the redline. I spent the better part of a day taking back roads through small towns and villages where the pavement was hot in the sun and perfect for the fat and sticky tires. Passing cars was child’s play and taking Sbends without slowing down was wonderful such was the level of grip and tractability of the suspension. For the money, this has to be one of the best sports car bargains on the market today. Made right here in Canada, the Camaro is showing just how good the new GM can be.

â–ź ROAD TEST

Suzuki9 GSX-R750 just as hot in somber colours CONTRIBUTOR

“That’s a nice bike in black,â€? I said. Sportbikes are never shy about exploring colour. The no-holds-barred palettes of manufacturers’ screaming yellows, rbright blues, hot reds, you name it, are often complemented by the even wilfder neon splashes of afterrmarket add-ons. You just have to compare the vibrant hues of any sportbike gathering with the mainly dark, somber sameness of the conformist cruiser crowd to notice differences that go beyond age and attitude. And yet, I’ve always had a soft spot for sportbikes in black. Black adds that edge of menace to a motorcycle. It’s subtler, more serious. And black brings with it all the Hollywood baggage and storybook imagery of lurking evil rand things that go bump in the night. It’s midnight ninjas with machine guns on motorcycles, it’s Darth Vader “join me on the dark side,â€? it’s‌ “It’s not black,â€? Jason from Suzuki said. “It’s brown.â€? “What?â€? I said. t “Here, look,â€? Jason said and pushed the GSXR750 into the sunlight. The stronger light lifted the ebon curtain and revealed metal flake shimmering in the depths of paint, the brown tones shifting and moving with the motion of the bike, the angles and play of light. Officially, it’s called Glass Midnight Brown, set off by contrasting tones of Metallic Matte Titanium Silver with carbon fibretlike accents. “Now, that’s different,â€? I said. “Yeah,â€? Jason said. “When we first heard about a brown bike, our initial reaction was ‘What?’ But when we saw it, well, this is pretty nice.â€? I don’t normally spend this much space writing about colour but this was one of those almost-Mystic paint jobs that would constantly surprise me depending on light conditions, angle of viewing, on whether I was wearing sunglasses or not. Even my photos didn’t show the true colour and I had to resort to a supplied shot. Owning this motorcycle would be almost like having two bikes in the

stable - a daytime colour different from the nighttime shade. This GSX-R750 takes the sum of all the parts that make a handsome new bike like this and adds an extra element of coolness, a hand grenade moment with your audience when they eventually discover that, tick, tick, tick, boom! “Hey man, that bike is brown! Cool.� The GSX-R750, or “Gixxer� as its nicknamed, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and this sportbike is the direct descendant of that first 750cc even though that early ancestor started with an air-cooled engine mounted inside a steel frame. If you want to delve into the history a little deeper, Suzuki has created a dedicated website at gsx.r25th.com where you can follow the year-toyear evolution of the bike. This 750cc version is the middleweight of the lineup, centred between the 600cc and 1-litre GSX-R models. There are only miniscule differences in dimensions and weights between the three bikes, the main choices having more to do with rider size, displacement demands for more bottom launch and low-end torque, and price tolerance. The GSX-R600 is Suzuki’s best-seller listing for $13,299 while the GSX-R750 costs $13,899

and the GSX-R1000 tops out at $16,599 The riding position on the GSX-R750 is about as comfortable as a sportbike can be with an assist from adjustable three-position, die-cast footpegs. Everything is tucked in

nicely and there’s some protection from a miniscule windscreen set behind an easily-readable instrument pod with analog tach, LCD speedo, dual trip meters, a clock and gear position indicator. Between the thighs,

the engine wails forth with about as much excitement as you can stand, bellowing out back with a raucous exhaust note that rasps out of the large-volume, triangular muffler. You can explore the high-tech componentry

of the engine at leisure on Suzuki’s website but one thing worth noting is Suzuki’s trademark S-DMS engine management system. It works with the 32bit ECM to allow the rider to match riding conditions

with three engine mode settings, making changes on the fly via a handlebar mounted switch. This is roughly the same system you’ll find on the Hayabusa and BSee Suzuki B12

SUZUKI labels it “a race bike with a horn and lights added,” the 2010 Suzuki GSX-R750, the middleweight super sport, even more potent than the first racer that debuted 25 years ago. As shown here, in a unique shade of Glass Midnight Brown offset by elements of Metallic Matte Titanium Silver.

Bike differences in ‘bottom launch’ Suzuki from B12

King. I’m pretty sure the “A” setting stands for “All Hell’s breaking loose” and it unleashes full power across the entire power band. The “B” setting probably stands for “Better be a little more careful” and it will soften the initial launch as the throttle first opens. The “C” setting is also known as the “Chicken setting” but it is worth

considering in rain or other slippery conditions, smoothing power application across all throttle ranges. The GSX-R750 that I tested was fresh out of the box with less than a dozen klicks on the clock, so I confess to following the prescribed break-in routine with varied revs usually limited to 7500 rpm, only halfway to redline. But it’s amazing how much fun you can have on a bike like this with the

quick shifting six-speed, even without hitting the screaming-meemie limits of the engine. I rode 230 kilometres before the low fuel indicator began blinking and filled up 20 kilometres later with 13.4 litres of gas. That works out to a combined fuel economy average of 5.4L/100km and theoretical full tank range of 315 kilometres. Although I’m sure enthusiastic riders could do worse if they applied

themselves. Die-hard Gixxer fans should take note that a special 25th anniversary, numbered collector’s edition of the bigger GSXR1000 bike will be available soon, probably in white, with prices to be announced and with only 20 bikes slated for Canada. But for a more reasonable price with plenty of unreasonable power, See Suzuki B14

Driving tips to keep you safe on the road KATE WELLS School is out and family vacations are beginning. Unfortunately, crashes are higher during the summer months. Here are some simple, summersafe driving tips to keep everyone safe on the roads. Obey the posted speed limit – Many think this is a no-brainer, but in reality many people still speed excessively on our roads. Even driving 10 kilometres over the speed limit can affect how you stop your vehicle in an emergency. SLOW DOWN. Watch your speed around playground zones and even school zones – many are not in effect when school is not in session, but still, children play around schools. Know your brakes – Find out if your car has

Full Driving Course: July 6th - 3 Summer Days July 20th - 6 Summer Mornings

ABS brakes and how you should be stopping in an emergency. Many drivers do not know the difference between ABS brakes and a standard braking system. Educate yourself on proper braking techniques so you can stop properly in an emergency. Watch out for kids – Be aware of areas where kids will play. Practice backing into your driveway. Many children are needlessly killed when cars are backing out of driveways. Scan parked cars to make sure kids are not going to jump out into traffic. Always obey road signs – It’s amazing how many signs go unnoticed. Some drivers choose to ignore them completely. Road signs are there for a reason. Playground zones are in effect daily from dawn to dusk.

Don’t drive distracted – This means using cell phones, texting, GPS and the list goes on. Distracted driving creates major driver errors. Don’t drink and drive – Always plan a safe ride home BEFORE you attend the family barbecue. The new rules for driving impaired are in place and if you plan ahead, you are less likely to feel like you are OK to drink and drive home. Many drivers on our roads could use a quick refresher. Log on to www.icbc.com and take their sample learner’s licence test and see if your driving needs a refresher or not. See how many road signs you know. Challenge a friend to do the same! Take the time to be a safe driver and make sure you have an enjoyable summer.

Lexus ES 350 offers comforts that never grows old Neil Moore CONTRIUBTOR

I love sports cars—especially convertibles— prompting some people to wonder if I’m having a mid-life crisis. This week’s tester, however, would dispel any such myths. The Lexus ES 350 is the kind of car you buy after you regain your senses, once you dump the tricked-out ’69 Firebird and the 20-year-old girlfriend. Some have described the ES 350 as an “old man’s ride.” Fair comment.

But consider that not everybody demands the taut suspension and precise handling of a tightly wound sports sedan. Some drivers—and probably most passengers—want a comfortable, pillowy-soft ride, well insulated from the noises of heavy traffic, car horns and jackhammers that pervade the summer construction season. You may consider these traditional Buick values, but even Buick is now moving more towards sport sedans with products like the LaCrosse and the 2011 Regal.

Despite the trend toward a sportier ride and handling, there’s still a healthy market for entryluxury cruisers and Lexus hasn’t turned its back on those who buy them. The best way to describe ES 350 styling would be elegant, yet understated. No spaceage front-end treatment like Acura; no humungous chrome grates like those fronting the Lincoln MKZ. Nothing really stands out, and for this type of vehicle, that’s a good thing. Little has changed from 2009 to 2010, other

than a few styling tweaks front and rear. j1 I like the ES 350’s new chrome bodyside mouldings, which complement the overall subtle use of chrome in such areas as the door handles, trunk lid and outside mirrors. The chrome grille, flanked by trapezoidal headlamps, is classy, not brash. Seventeen-inch rims nicely fill the wheel arches, with split-five-spoke alloys as standard and 10-spoke graphite-polished alloys available. On the inside, the base vehicle ($41,950) comes

extremely well equipped. Standard features include dual-zone automatic climate control with interior air filter and smog sensor; power tilt-and-telescopic steering column; 10-way power heated driver and front passenger seats with memory for the driver; leather-trimmed seat surfaces; walnut or bird’s-eye maple trim; and an eightspeaker premium sound system with automatic sound levelizer, Bluetooth and steering wheel controls. There’s plenty of passenger room in the ES 350, even with tall occu-

pants, and you can really stretch out your legs in back. Too bad the rear seats don’t fold to increase trunk capacity (like the Mercedes-Benz C-Class or BMW 3 Series), but at 416 litres, it can easily swallow a weekend’s worth of luggage, and more. And there’s even a pass-through, under the rear armrest, for longer objects like skis. Whether it’s due to the forgiving suspension (MacPherson struts with coil springs, gas shocks and stabilizer bar in front; dual-link Mac struts with coil springs, gas shocks

and stabilizer bar in rear) or the use of sound deadening materials, the ES 350 has one of the quietest cabins of any car I’ve driven, let alone for its class. Sure there’s not much road feel, but I emphasize again, the ES 350 is not that kind of car. I like to take all my press cars over a long driveway near the office, which is festooned with speedbumps (and a few potholes), and would be hard pressed to recall any vehicle that soaked it up better than this Lexus See Lexus B15

Race bike ‘with a horn and lights’ Suzuki from B12 the GSX-R750 fills the middleweight slot in the lineup very nicely. Suzuki likes to say that the Gixxer is really a race bike with a horn and lights. And with its nimble chassis and willing engine enhanced by three-mode engine mapping, that’s certainly no empty boast. Keep an eye out for corporate and dealer demo rides in your area.

MOTORING I’ve always believed that the journey is as important as the destination, and for a special night out, how you arrive often makes or breaks the evening. On a recent trip to see the Jersey Boys, my wife and I, along with another couple, thoroughly enjoyed the drive to the theatre, ensconced in the wood and leather finery, high quality materials and hushed cabin that exemplify Lexus craftsmanship. We arrived enthusiastic and refreshed, which is no small feat when you’re crawling through Toronto

FROM ALL SIDES, the 2010 Lexus ES 350 is a conservative, yet handsome car. The subtle use of chrome nicely complements the otherwise clean sheet metal. Lexus from B15

in the largest circulation class

Named by the CCNA as Best All Round Newspaper in Canada

—sedan. Can it keep up with competitors like Mercedes-Benz C-Class, BMW 3 Series or Audi A4 on the twisty roadways? Probably not, but the ES 350 is no slouch —in a straight line. This sedan’s more than willing 3.5-litre V6, delivers a very competitive 272 hp and 254 lb/ft of torque, and revs freely when you prod the pedal. Its six-speed automatic shifts almost imperceptibly when cruising, but hit the accelerator and it downshifts almost instantly, providing impressive takeoff and passing power—and extinguish-

ing the standard-equipped “Eco” light. The Eco light was introduced in the ES to help you drive fuel efficiently. It becomes a bit of a challenge to keep it lit, but hopefully in doing so, you can achieve somewhere near the fuel economy ratings of 10.9/7.2/9.3 L/100km (city/hwy/combined). My average was in the high tens, which when driving normally, wasn’t bad for a sedan of this size. Like all Lexus vehicles, the ES 350 includes a full suite of safety features including fourwheel disc brakes (ventilated in front) with ABS, brake assist and electron-

ic brake-force distribution; vehicle stability control (VSC) with traction control and 10 airbags New for this year, there’s a switch to disable the VSC, but I don’t see it getting much use in this car. The base ES 350 has a large number of standard features, like power tilt and slide moon roof, rainsensing wipers and smart key system with pushbutton start. If you want nav, the Navigation Package (MSRP $45,800) adds a voice-activated hard disc nav system with back-up camera, USB audio input, and upgraded heated driver and front passenger seats with ventilation. My tester includ-

ed the Premium Package with Navigation (MSRP $49,150) that included all of the above plus poweradjustable driver seat cushion length; passenger seat memory; power rear sunshade; wood steering wheel and shift knob; clearance and back-up sensor; and an adaptive front lighting system that improves visibility around corners. The top trim level, at $52,000, is the Ultra Premium Package with Navigation that adds premium leather seat surfaces, panoramic glass roof; premium alloy wheels; and a 14-speaker Mark Levinson audio system with sixdisc DVD changer that is a joy to listen to.

Over the years, she has spread joy and happiness everywhere she went. The family would like to give special thanks to all the nurses on 4B at Kelowna General Hospital and to the Palliative Care Team. They would like to offer a special thank you to Dr. Chris Livingston, Dr Mary Wall, and Dr. Victor and to her favourite nurse Sherri Mullens for the special attention they gave her during her sickness.

JANINAJANINA SOKOLOWSOKOLOWSKI SKI November 01, 1923 – June 23, 2010

After a lengthy illness, Janina Sokolowski passed away peacefully at Sunpoint Village. She is survived by her children: John, Michael, Helen (Joe), Christine (Roger); 9 Grandchildren: Mark(Lisa), Kristyn (Rob), Kevin (Anita), Tanja (Gary), Brett, Jaclyn, Christopher, Jeffery (Samantha), Kyle (Shelly), and 9 Great Grandchildren. Janina Kaleta was born in Rzejowice, Poland. She spent her early years in the County of Radomsko. Her younger years were spent in poverty, living under a thatched roof and a dirt floor, with three siblings and a Mum who was a peasant farmer. During WWII she was a prisoner in Oswiecim (Auschwitz) and Bergen Belsen concentration camps. She saw the worst of mankind, the horrors of war, scenes of unimaginable savagery and the worst injustice that humankind can inflict on one another. She survived these consequences of hate and brutality. Her inner strength and spirituality of love, humility and forgiveness provided the foundation for her survival and growth. After the war she married Jan Sokolowski on July 28, 1945. She and her family spent the next 5 years in refugee camps. On March 09, 1951 the family group docked in Halifax. All moved to Red Lake, Ontario where she spent the next 40 years raising her family, working at the Red Lake Hospital and creating a better life that she dreamt of. In the summer of 1992 she retired to Kelowna, where she enjoyed her flowers, her garden, her fruit trees, and the sunshine. She taught her family to love each other and not things. She was a humble person who did not believe she was smarter, stronger or better than others. She was like everyone else with her frailties and her gifts. Our family would like to thank Drs. Mackle and Carlyle for their care and support. We would, especially, like to thank all the nurses and caregivers at Sunpoint Village, in the Belgo and Ellison Communities, for their love, warmth, compassion, patience, sensitivity and care. Prayers will be held on June 29, 2010 at 8 PM and a Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 AM on June 30, 2010. Both will be held at the Immaculate Conception Church, 839 Sutherland Avenue. In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made to a Children’s Charity of your choice. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.
