Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

olf has always been a bit of an exclusive game. It’s expensive, was once the bastion of white males and can be accused of being stuffy with more rules and regulations than just about any other recreation. But a worldwide trend that has seen the number of golfers declining over the last decade, combined with an above average number of golf courses in the Kelowna area, is forcing change. Local golf clubs are moving away from the traditions of golf to find more golfers. Giving local courses even more to think about is a downturn in the number of golf tourists, especially those coming from the United States, that has increased the competition between courses and made for some new partnerships.

Golf courses try to widen appeal of the game Golf from A1

MOLSON TOUR member Jeff Budda lashes out a drive on the Okanagan Golf

The Okanagan Golf Club (OGC) consists of three of Kelowna’s 15 or so top level 18-hole golf courses: The Bear and the Quail across the highway from the airport, as well as Gallagher’s Canyon, one of the city’s original golf courses in East Kelowna. Each has regular men’s and ladies’ nights, the traditional day when the course is reserved for either men or women members. But at the Bear and the Quail, the OCG is finding an outlet for new golfers by establishing a less regimented night of golf for both men and women. “With so much of the golfing community seeing numbers dropping, we started the Molson Tour last year,” said OGC general manager Dan Matheson. “We wanted to create something similar to rec league hockey where you’re in the company of friends in a more causal approach to the game. “The idea is it’s OK to miss the ball or take it out of the bush to hit it. Golf should be fun, not intimidating.” The idea has taken off. Last year just over 20 players took part in the regular Monday tour while this year it has increased to close to 50 players, turning a traditionally slow night at the OGC into one of the week’s busiest. It’s a mix of golfers

new to the sport and some with experience. Handicaps are used to level the playing field while a match play playoff format ends the season. Matheson says it’s more about coming out and having fun with the game, than obsessing about how well you play. “We want to introduce the non-golfer to the game of golf,” he said. “We absolutely re-

spect the rules of golf but we also treat it as a fun event, a not-so-serious event where we go out and have fun. We’re here for fun, we’re here to network and to get away from the regular work world. “The rules of golf are just there to be followed, not to intimidate or scare anyone.” With the help of sponsors Molsons and Power 104, the OGC has es-

tablished both a second men’s and a ladies’ night, in addition to the regular member-based nights. Both are casual settings hoping to make coming to a golf course more of an option for those who have never wielded a club or are just starting out. “It’s not uncommon to walk into a resort-style golf course and feel like people are looking at you funny,” said Matheson.

“This is a more casual approach that says it’s OK to come golfing.” ••• When Rich Chlopan came to Kelowna in 1989, there were just two fullsized golf courses: Gallagher’s Canyon and the private Kelowna Golf and Country Club. After playing university golf at San Diego State, Chlopan arrived at the golf and country club and started working in the industry. He would move on to Predator Ridge and Quail Ridge before finding a home as the head pro and assistant general manager at Kelowna Springs for the past 15 years. Times have definitely changed in the local golf scene in the two decades since Chlopan arrived in the Central Okanagan. “There has been at least a dozen new courses added to the area,” said Chlopan. “It’s unbelievable. When you talk to people they say this is the Palm Springs of the north. “This is as good as it gets anywhere in Canada. The amount of golf we have here and the number of tee times available has outgrown the number of people playing the game and that’s created a better environment for the consumer.” Chlopan relates the situation in Kelowna to

golf course and access the other golf courses involved,” said Chlopan. “We view it as a means of getting people out, whether they are beginners or experienced. “It’s a tool we use to grow the game and attract people to our facilities.” The program began a dozen years ago but this year expanded to include Two Eagles in West Kelowna and Sunset Ranch as well as three different driving ranges. “We had to come up with something that made us competitive in this very busy golfing market,” said Chlopan. “We’re in the business of selling memberships but this is an alternative way to purchase a membership and you get it in on five different courses. “It’s not a true membership because it’s not unlimited golf but it’s an alternative.” And as golf courses continue to come on line in the Okanagan more and more alternatives are sure to pop up at local courses. “There are fewer golfers still willing to pay over $100 for green fees,” said Chlopan. “I think we’ve proven with the Play Golf Kelowna program that people are looking for a discount. It’s been successful and it’s very important to us.”

some friends he has in Calgary where tee times are very hard to find and must be booked well in advance. Here in Kelowna there are times available on most courses with a day’s notice. “There isn’t a lot of people using the facilities so they are easy to get on to,” he said. That situation puts golf courses in tough competition with each other as they try to either find new golfers or attract the golfing community, which is continually looking for a good deal. For the past dozen years, Kelowna Springs has partnered with other courses and offers a discounted green fee in its Play Golf Kelowna program. “The golfer of today combined with the economy of today means people aren’t motivated unless they are getting a deal,” said Chlopan. For Kelowna Springs, and four other local golf courses, that deal is Play Golf Kelowna, a discount card that allows golfers to purchase one of three levels of golf and utilize the card at Kelowna Springs, Shadow Ridge, Shannon Lake, Sunset Ranch and Two Eagles. “Play Golf Kelowna has certainly become the preferred way for most locals to utilize our

Stars to walk the red carpet for Okanagan premiere Michael Eklund, Tyler Johnson and Jeffrey Ballard headed for Kelowna to attend premiere of Pressed at Paramount Theatre. Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Spend a few minutes talking to Justin Donnelly and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to imagine the 24-year-old screenwriter/actor/director/producer ever feels pressed him-

self, though it sounds like he knows his way around a high-pressure story. After a baseball injury ended aims for a pitching career, taking the scholarship money from the University of Hawaii with it, Donnelly managed to turn

his first vocation as a child actor into a Hollywood success storyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and all in our own backyard. Shooting in just 15 days, Pressed, starring Luke Gross, with appearances from Michael Eklund, Tyler Johnson and Jeffrey Ballard, is a story about a couple of kids who make a really bad call and wind up running from a drug deal gone awry.

The tale screams action, drama, and above all else stress, but the Vancouverite-turned-Kelowna boy who brought his ingenious idea to the Interior to film, said he purposely tried to make life on his Okanagan sets simple. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to make this film a really good experience. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want this to be one of those sets where everybody is screaming and yelling,â&#x20AC;? he said. Donnelly grew up in the entertainment industry and started acting with the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts in Vancouver at just eight years of age. The program was for 12-year-olds, so he finessed the instructors a little, winning a spot with an audition which must have been full of the charisma that got this film made. Pressed started with an idea to build a story around a real life news item. Donnelly had heard about some kids unearthing a cache of money in an East Vancouver park. Several incarnations later, with a few more story-lines layered in, Donnelly had a script to sell. And this is likely where he differs from most of the other early twenty-somethings out there. Where many might go no further than a brilliant

The investors got it. All domestic activity would be gravy and, if current sales are any indication, there should be plenty of it. Pressed has already

sold in the Middle East, Spain and Germany to name but a few, and has yet to hit the United States. The premier for the movie in Canada will be held here in the Okanagan as a way of giving back to the place that gave him a stage for his big break. Donnelly meanwhile is said to be in talks with Rachel McAdams, Evangeline Lilly, Ryan Reynolds and Casey Affleck for his next film, which

will be shot in Alaska next fall. Pressed premiers Thursday, July 21, at the Paramount Theatre on Bernard Avenue. Tickets are $10 available in advance through the Paramount box office.

Mayor weighing decision to run for a third term Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

If you think it’s a given that Kelowna Mayor Sharon Shepherd will run for a third term, think again. Shepherd says she has not decided if the will seek the job for another three years. “Everybody has been asking me that lately,” said Shepherd, a long-time city councillor who defeated incumbent Walter Gray in the 2005 mayoral race and was easily re-elected in 2008. Shepherd said nor-

mally she would wait until the early fall to make her decision but with the amount of interest being expressed, she will decide “sooner rather than later” this year. But the 61-year-old Shepherd said she wants to discuss it with her family first, although she acknowledged that “I absolutely love what I do.” The mayor is not the only councilor who is wrestling with the decision about whether or not to run again. Coun. Andre Blanleil, first elected in 1993, said

he is also undecided about running for another term as councillor, but he has ruled out a challenge for the mayor’s job. “I definitely won’t be running for mayor,” he said yesterday. Blanleil has, however, drawn support for a reelection bid from a surprising source. Coun. Charlie Hodge, who Blanleil has often clashed with over the last three years at the council table, said he hopes Blanleil runs again. Hodge, See Council A9

Slated for Sept. 10 and 11, the forum is part of a drive to increase the proportion of women in Canada politics at all levels to 30 per cent. “I’m very pleased Kelowna is being considered as a spot for this event,”

said Shepherd, the city’s first female mayor. It will look to attract women

considering a political run from throughout the Okanagan and in the Koote-

nays.

Kelowna is getting good value from her MLAs To the editor: Adrian Dix came to town recently and stirred the pot as you would expect the NDP leader of the opposition to do. However, in suggesting that Kelowna is not well served or represented by MLAs Norm Letnick and Steve Thomson, Mr. Dix could not have strayed further from the truth. There are plenty of results to point to as proof. We are getting a cardiac surgical unit at Kelowna General Hospital at a cost of over $430 million. Highway improvement projects are under way up and down the valley. So is the development of a new transportation plan for this fast-growing region. And our parks trail system is finally getting the attention and upgrades which a recreational mecca like Kelowna deserves. In his current role as Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources and formerly as Agriculture Minister, Mr. Thomson has been a strong advocate for orchard-

A decade on, treaty with Nisga’a no panacea

here were high hopes and harsh words in 2000 when the provincial and federal governments signed Canada’s first modern-day treaty with the Nisga’a people of northwestern B.C. The four villages are now governed by the Nisga’a Lisims government, which holds broad authority transferred from the federal and provincial governments. While Canada’s financial support continues to flow, the Nisga’a Nation is nearing the stage where it must begin to collect taxes and become selfsustaining. A new study by the Winnipegbased Frontier Centre for Public Policy offers a unique look behind the scenes of this remote experiment. And judging

by the hostile response of the Nisga’a government to the findings, it may be the last one for some time. Is the Nisga’a Nation ready to support itTom self? The short answer is Fletcher no, according to polling data and extensive interviews with “key informants” who are not identified. Co-author Joseph Quesnel told me he interviewed 15 influential people, both supporters and critics of the treaty, since he first visited the region last fall. A larger phone survey by COMPAS Research found that more people trust the Nisga’a government compared to the old Indian Act regime. But divisions remain, particularly over giving up aboriginal tax exemptions. Quesnel said he met people who

VICTORIA VIEWS

have left the Nisga’a villages for nearby Tsimshian communities, before sales and income taxes take effect in 2013. According to the study, a culture of dependency that grew up during a century of colonial-style rule remains pervasive. The authors report many of the same problems persist that plague Indian Act reserves, such as willful damage to housing, accusations of nepotism and failed business investment. “More than one key informant observed that old attitudes and mentalities persist regarding public services,” the report states. “Expectations at the local level that the village government will provide everything are still rampant.” Quesnel said the Nisga’a Nation’s recent move to allow fee-simple ownership of municipal-style lots is a key step towards self-sufficiency. But the land title system is still in development and it’s too soon to see results.

The study notes that economic conditions in Nisga’a territory have become worse since the treaty. Quesnel agreed with my suggestion that this has more to do with the decline of forestry and fishing than any failure of governance. Nisga’a Lisims president Mitchell Stevens issued a statement rejecting the report’s findings, citing two factual errors and denying that he had participated. Quesnel, a Quebec Metis with a background in journalism, said he was welcomed on his initial visit and was even invited to attend a Nisga’a Lisims executive meeting. But he said Stevens and other officials “stopped responding” as the project progressed. In his statement, Stevens described the code of conduct for Nisga’a offi-

LETTERS ▼ B.C. POLITICS

Policies are the problem, not civic wages To the editor: Canadian Federation of Taxpayers’ spokesperson Gregory Thomas was barking up the wrong tree in Watchdog Wary of Civic Wages (June 28 Capital News). Thomas claimed civic workers’ wages threaten communities. The real threat comes not from neighbours and friends who provide vital civic services for a living wage, but from political policies that drain the cash from municipalities. The Federation of Canadian Municipal-

ities has long been lobbying higher levels of government to pony up their fair share of tax revenues. Municipalities receive only eight cents of every tax dollar collected, despite providing the bulk of frontline public services and costly infrastructure necessary to keep communities healthy. Thomas fails to mention that his corporate lobby group is on a crusade to slash corporate taxes, which have already been cut by 50 per cent in the past decade. The result is tens of billions of dollars in lost tax revenue—rev-

enue that could have and should have gone into infrastructure for municipalities to ensure safe and clean drinking water and quality recreation facilities and community programs. The real threat communities face is public policy that starves local governments of the revenue needed to support vital community needs.

Fate in hands of ill-prepared politicians To the editor: In 1996, John Ralston Saul gave us a spoton assessment applicable to most of us: “Corporatism reduces civilization to the sum of its interest groups. We are all reduced—culture, public education, childcare and Medicare—to warring with each other for crumbs from the public purse and for charity from the private purse. If we accept that formula, we are back to the public good as nothing more than a beggar at the table of the kings and the rich.” Mr. Saul later joined the ‘privileged’ and dined with the kings and the rich when his wife became the Governor General of Canada. Paul Hellyer, a former member of Parliament since 1949 and later defence minister fof Canada, researched later in his private life our monetary system with astounding conclusions. At great expense, he consulted with

the best minds and their computers and concluded that the debts of the federal and provincial governments could have been $220 billion less in 1992. Why was this man and his research ignored then, and later as he campaigned as the leader of the Canadian Action Party for Monetary Reform? Why was the father of Medicare, Tommy Douglas, under constant police surveillance all his life? For wanting to improve the life of Canada’s people? And why has the NDP, the successor of Tommy Douglas’s CCF, totally abandoned their goal? Would anybody go on an airplane trip, if the unqualified passengers were to hold a vote, as to who should be the captain, co-pilot and navigator? Nobody would even dream to suggest it, as this requires knowledge and experience. Why then, do we leave the fate of

spaceship Earth and all societies, in the hands of politicians who may be well-paid puppets (with some exceptions) but do little else than re-distribute ‘crumbs.’ In view that Canada in 1992 could have had $220 billion less debt, imagine what it could be today? And the wasteful and ridiculous arguments about the HST and its billion dollar gain or loss for the province(s) boils down to nothing more than trivial pursuit. What are we to think? Missed opportunities? Conspiracy? Greed? Vested interests? Or just plain stupidity, if we carry on as usual, while people and our planet suffers needlessly.

He is bringing fresh ideas and an openness to significant changes in our health delivery system to this position, with the support of the premier who wants to revive the usefulness of this committee for the sake of assuring policies aren’t developed in a vacuum by bureaucrats in Victoria. In my view, our provincial representatives (including Ben Stewart from the Westside) are working tirelessly—and effect-

ively—on our behalf. We would not be getting the attention and direct investment by the government in the region if this were not the case. Mr. Dix may not agree, just as he parts company with the B.C. Liberal MLAs on the subject of the harmonized sales tax. He is in the same boat as Bill Vander Zalm and those leading the campaign to extinguish the HST and return to the previous PST/GST tax re-

Tackle problems before treaty Fletcher from A10 cials and the complaint process people can use to hold them accountable for decisions.

only one government to deal with, and the region has electricity, mining and gas development on the drawing board. And there are lessons to be learned by other aboriginal communities, such as tackling dependency and addiction problems before a treaty is signed, and bringing in outside experts to set up businesses. “Mitchell Stevens, when I spoke to him, was

optimistic about the ability to reduce transfers, even eliminate them,” Quesnel said. “Without financial independence, I think political self-government is really an illusion. Ultimately, you’re still dependent.” Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca twitter.com/tomfletcherbc

gime (while returning billions of dollars to the feds in the process). If the bright minds occupying that fantasyland think we should turn back the clock, forego the promised reduction to 10 per cent from 12 and revert to having two tax-collecting bureaucracies instead of one, then it’s clear to me that Mr. Dix is no better judge of fiscal responsibility than he is of the collective achievements by our local MLAs.

I would put more faith in the conclusion of the C.D. Howe Institute, which said the shift to a value-added HST helped move B.C. “from being a high tax, investment-unfriendly jurisdiction to one which is domestically and internationally competitive—a more attractive home for investment and jobs.” Jim Waters, Kelowna

Gravel pits more harm than dirtbikers W

henever I see something wrong there’s always something new that comes along to eclipse it. That’s negative thinking, I guess, but sometimes it does seem to be true. For years I’ve had issues with the increasing number of dirt bikers carving out new trails through the creeks, grasslands and forest, particularly in the Bear Creek area on the Westside. Not only do they damage natural ecosystems by ripping up vegetation and creating creekbeds where erosion becomes an issue every time it rains, but they roar through your impromptu picnic or campsite without any consideration for the disturbance their ultra-noisy

TRAIL MIX

Judie Steeves bikes are to your peaceful outdoors experience. In recent years, I’ve begun to come around to the viewpoint that the only real way to curtail these vandals is to create an environmentallysustainable trail system and educate them to use it and stop creating random trails. That way, at least some of the remaining natural areas might be left intact. And, that’s exactly what’s been happening for the past several years,

with something like $1 million in funding from senior governments to help the work along. The formalizing process began with the quiet designation of an enormous area in the watersheds of two domestic water utilities on the Westside as a Recreation Management Zone for motorized recreation in the Land and Resource Management Plan for the Okanagan and Shuswap. It came as a great surprise to many people to see that designation. I was incredulous. I realize the whole consensus process is imperfect, in that there are trade-offs and some of those make everyone unhappy rather than happy. However, that’s the nature of the beast, and the LRMP process was

mandated to be one of consensus. Compromise is as vital in such processes, in order for very diverse groups to come to any kind of agreement, as it is in relationships if they’re to last for any time at all. So, in 2007, to keep some kind of control within the newly-minted RMZ, a 35,000-hectare, multi-use provincial recreation site was created— the first in the province of its kind and certainly the largest recreation site in the province. Most are simply rustic campsites with a biffy and perhaps a fire ring and picnic table and a couple of cleared areas. Some are trails. This one is quite a different kettle of fish. In this recreation site, there is snowmobiling,

HERE, “LIKE NEW” ACTUALLY MEANS SOMETHING.

Even our Pre-Owned process is inspired. That’s because every Infiniti that’s been previously-enjoyed comes with:

skiing, logging, hunting, fishing, camping, picnicking, swimming and water sports, cattle range use, hiking, wildlife viewing, photography, viewpoints, bike riding, horseback riding, dirt biking, ATV riding—and mining. At certain points in the process, there has been incredible opposition to the idea of even managed dirt bikes trails being built in a domestic watershed, particularly on the part of local water utilities. But, today, there’s more happening than just the few strips of land laid barren of all vegetation by rubber wheels, leading downhill to the nearest stream, which may direct erosion into a domestic water intake. There’s a vast area of land above Bear Creek that’s been laid bare, with tonnes of topsoil piled immediately adjacent to the roadway, across from the new Aspen Trailhead of the Bear Creek Recreation Site. There’s not even a road allowance on Terrace Main Forest Service Road left free of this debris that’s been removed from what is to become the new Burnco Gravel Pit off Bear Main Forest Service Road. The regional district received an application for this mining operation on April 28, 2008, for 120.5 hectares between Bear, Bald Range and Snowsell Creeks, and I assume work has just

SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS

THIS GRAVEL mining operation between Bald Range Creek and Snowsell Creek, above Bear Creek, has left more of a scar on the landscape than all the unsustainable dirt bike trails riders have carved out over the years in this area. now begun to strip off the topsoil to mine the gravel beneath. Everything that is being done on that hill may be perfectly legal and approved nine different ways to Sunday, but the scar that has been created and the land that’s been stripped bare is an affront to all the effort that’s been made to close and restore areas such as Bald Range where the grassland has now been fenced off to prevent riders from continuing to erode it with fall-line trails that are visible from downtown Kelowna. It’s ironic and unfortunate that unlikely partners can be brought together to work on restoration of unsustainable trails and to create new, more environmentally-friendly ones, but one industry can come in and make a mockery of it all like this.

ith summer weather finally here, I’m doing the end of spring clean-up in my gardens. This entails cutting back spring blooming perennials, cutting off dead flowers (deadheading) on plants that will re-bloom and doing a thorough weeding. Due to a cool and relatively wet spring, plants have grown bigger than normal, just as they do with too much watering. This lush juicy growth has attracted more aphids and also made plants vulnerable in sudden hot weather. Extra growth means they will be more water thirsty. Any areas that I didn’t mulch this spring need a lot more water, spurring me on to finish mulching. I need to weed thoroughly, then soak the bare ground before spreading one to two inches of mulch material to cover all exposed soil. It is such a relief when I get it done. My plants thrive and need much less wate. Weed growth is drasti-

cally reduced. Weed seeds left on the soil surface cannot germinate without light. Any weeds that do grow are easy to pull out because the mulch prevents a hard crust forming on the soil surface. I’m using up materials I have around the property. The old bale of straw will go under rhubarb and around squash. Finished compost will go onto the vegetable garden boxes and I’ll finish spreading cedar chip mulch in the pathways to prevent weed growth. Rotted leaf mulch from last year may go into a flower bed. The rest of some Classic Compost mulch will go onto flower beds and a bag of wood shavings will go around some shrubs. If I need more mulch I may get some Glengrow (the city’s yard waste compost) or well rotted manure. I use two buckets when I weed. One is for things I put into my compost. This is mostly the trimmings from my plants. If I have a really large volume, I spread everything out and shred it with my neighbour’s electric mower, so it will rot faster. I also water my compost as I add to it. Dry compost won’t rot. The other bucket is for everything that needs to go into the green yard waste bin. This includes

Recommending otherwise is counter-productive to our long-standing messaging that we have worked a number of years now on getting out there, and will create problems for haulers, the public and landfill staff enforcing mandatory recycling bans. As an alternative recycling measure, don’t put noxious weeds in your home composter. Put them instead into your green lidded yard waste cart. Once they end up at the City of Kelowna’s Ogogrow facility, the high temperatures reached in the composting process will nullify the noxious

factor in these weeds. Marcia Brown, with the City of Kelowna’s compost program, explains why noxious weeds in the yard waste bin are indeed entirely admissible: “We compost noxious weeds all the time and there are no weeds in the compost, so from my perspective those weeds can go in the green bins. “Our compost piles reach and sustain thermophilic temperatures (55 to 70 C) for several weeks and are turned several times as they are processed. “This is sufficient to inactivate weed propagules. I never see any weeds sprouting from the fin-

ished Glengrow piles. “The weed complaints I have investigated have turned out to be seeds already in the garden or contamination from trucking or something that blew in. “Home composters should definitely not put noxious weeds in their piles as they will have trouble achieving the temperatures needed to inactivate seeds and plant parts. Rae Stewart is the regional waste reduction facilitator for the Central Okanagan Regional District. For more information about recycling, call 250-469-6258 or check out the regional district website www.regionaldistrict.com.

Two men face drug charges Two Kelowna males will face drug possession and trafficking charges after being arrested in Kelowna on Wednesday. At about 1:45 p.m., police observed a vehicle leaving the residence of one of the males in the 800 block of Burne Av-

enue. The vehicle was flagged with an overdue inspection notice and so police decided to stop it to ensure compliance. The vehicle raced down a residential street at what police called a high rate of speed before pulling over.

The vehicle was subsequently stopped at the corner of Francis and Richter. A search of the vehicle located over 11 grams of powdered cocaine, nearly 33 grams of crack cocaine, a small number of ecstacy pills and some cash.

Softer hard rock Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

So you were out at Canada Day, caught the end of the Power Stage performances in Tugboat Bay and thought, hey, who were those guys? If it was the end of the night, the answer is Vernon's Cold Driven and the band has a new EP out en route to a whole new sound. "I think a lot of the support for hard rock has started to dwindle in Canada," said Billy Nickell, who fronts the band he formed with his brother Dennis and brothers Shane and Ben Bouthillier. Known for their high energy, full-throttle lineup Nickell said Cold Driven has had a rethink of late on how they want to handle their live performances and believes, with

their pop sequencing and diverse musical experience, they should be able to transition to a place where they can draw in a wider audience than the hard rock die-hards.. The Canada Day performance is a case in point. While Nickell was pretty thrilled to see their aggressive approach was drawing "the kids" and enjoyed tossing out the drumsticks to one particularly thrilled fan, the group wasn't sure they would have such a solid response before hitting the stage. Going full-throttle all the time doesn't necessarily attract the younger, music loving, CD-buying generation and when the group walks out on stage they want to know the audience is full and their sound is well received. "We don't want to just hammer people over the

head with it," Nickell said, noting they already have some good melodies going and believe a transition to lighter material should not be as much of a change as it sounds. Their new EP, released late May, already has a ballad on it with the song Now That I'm Gone and they're hoping to write more. This is the second time the crew has decided to tone it down a little. In 2005, they re-configured as Cold Driven—a hard rock band, from Crawl Space—a metal band, for many of the same reasons. Playing hard likely comes naturally for this crew as they're all used to some pretty hard work.

Learn something new this summer Tired of sitting around at the beach every summer? Why not go back to school? It will not take years of your time and thousands of dollars to learn about wine, culture, photography or how to write a book through UBC Okanagan’s continuing studies program. This program provides a variety of courses through July and August, and for the first time some courses are offered in a one-week package. Writing for children, creative writing, fiction writing, romance and even how to write a cookbook memoir are all on the educational menu, says program leader Elaine Crebo. “We’re hoping people will make this a destination,” said Crebo, adding that shorter courses allow time to indulge in the other amenities the Okanagan has to offer. Wine is big business in the valley, and Continuing Studies is offering a several wine courses, including Okanagan Wine Stories: Up Close and Personal where students will learn about wine before heading to a small, local winery where they will meet the owners and learn how they started their winery, what type of wines they make and sample some of their vino. One of the advantages of the summer classes is the student-to-teacher ratio. “Everyone loves the fact that it is small and intimate, and everyone gets a fabulous experience,” said Crebo. But if a one-week summer course is not on

The exhibit runs until Aug. 12. The EECO facility is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information call 250-469-6140.

SPORTS ▼ YOUTH SOCCER

Kelowna hosts ‘best tournament’ players say Kelowna Canada

Day Youth Soccer

Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

Top finishing sides from Rutland (RYSA), Okanagan Mission (OMYSA), Central Okanagan (COYSA) Kelowna United (KU), West Kelowna (WYSA) and Thompson Okanagan FC (TOFC):

Many of the close to 100 youth soccer teams that came to Kelowna on the Canada Day weekend were repeat competitors in one of the largest youth soccer tournaments in the province.

‘‘

EVERYBODY WHO COMES TO OUR TOURNAMENT SAYS THIS IS THE BEST TOURNAMENT THEY GO TO.

There were 95 teams in several different divisions at the sixth annual Kelowna Canada Day Youth Soccer Tournament, held last weekend at the Rutland sports fields and the Mission soccer fields. "Things went well again this year," said tournament director Bruce Corrie. "Everybody who comes to our tournament says this is the best tournament they go to. We've had teams coming here every year and they say they will keep coming back." The Canada Day tournament features teams from the house level right up to select soccer teams as recreational sides and competitive teams meet up against teams that have similar skill sets.

DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR

RUTLAND SOCCER FIELDS saw plenty of action last weekend as 95 teams from all over the province were competing in the Canada Day soccer tournamnet. Here the Rutland Spirit take on the Calgary Chinook at the Rutland sports field. Having the house level teams is something that sets the tournament apart, said Corrie. "There are very few tournaments you can take a house league team to and not get beat badly," said Corrie. "That's part of the success. The level of competition is equal in each of the divisions. For soccer in general it's

good. It gives teams who wouldn't normally go to a tournament the chance to play in a high level event. Even the select teams get to see competition they normally wouldn't see." That competition comes from teams in Alberta who love to come to Kelowna for the annual Canada Day event. Select soccer teams spend

much of their seasons playing around B.C. and in Washington State. But the arrival of high level teams from Alberta allows them a chance to see how they fare against top teams from the neighboring province. Overall the quality of the tournament comes down to several things, said Corrie.

"I think it's because of the good competition, because the fields are in such good shape, we have really good referees around here compared to some other districts and it's in Kelowna," he said. Many teams also use the event as a warm up for soccer provincials which are taking place this weekend.

Penalty kicks needed to decide U18 soccer tourney It couldn't have been a more exciting finish to the girls Under-18 division at the West Kelowna Canada Day youth soccer tournament last weekend. Penalty kicks were needed to decide the division and when the shooters were done, it was Ke-

lowna's Campionesse FC that claimed the gold medal in a tough Under-18 girls division. After going 2-1 through the round robin, Campionesse, a team comprised of girls from West Kelowna, got into a winner take all final match

against the Blizzard Bombers, a big and talented team from Calgary. It was a rough and tumble final that would need extra time to decide it. Jordan Tassone scored three goals in regulation for Campionesse and the game was tied 3-3 after

regular time. It would then go to penalty kicks and Campionesse earned the win as Tassone, Nikala Gabriel, Amanda Mckay, Casidy Tooley and Jayden Koop all scored from the spot to help Campionesse earn the win and claim gold in

Beach one step closer to his ultimate goal Marshall Jones CONTRIBUTOR

Kelowna's Cody Beach is one step closer to his dream of playing in the NHL after being drafted and now signed by the St. Louis Blues, but he admits it was a dream he needed help seeing. He views the signing of a three-year-entry level deal with the same excruciating joy when one reaches a milestone on a longer journey. "Me and my agent talked at the start of the year and my goal was to get a contract at the end of the year," he says. "I've made that goal but it's just one of the stepping stones. I can't get too excited. Signing a contract is something that gets me to where I want to be." That would, of course, be a regular roster spot in the National Hockey League. The 6'6" 185-pound winger has long had what it takes physically. Known perhaps more for his grit

than his hands—though he is proving both with the Moose Jaw Warriors of the Western Hockey League—the one thing missing at a younger age was his attitude. "I wasn't the hardest working guy," he says of his days in Kelowna Minor Hockey. "I went through the motions and tried to squeak through. You basically think it's for fun." And of course it is. But it took great coaching for him to realize that God-given skills shouldn't be squandered so easily. He credits Shawn Clerke, who coached him in his younger years and Dave Dupas, his bantam and midget coach with helping him with discipline. Cody is the younger brother of Kyle Beach, a highly touted prospect of the Chicago Blackhawks who has a good shot at making the club this year. Father Brian says the two took entirely different paths. "Kyle has always

been ahead of the typical elite hockey development curve," he said in an email. "He was the star on all his minor hockey teams, won a number of awards, was a first round WHL bantam pick, WHL rookie of the year and was Chicago's first round pick in the 2008 entry draft. "In Cody's case, things never came quite as easy. He was never the best on his team. His energetic and playful demeanour was not always popular with coaches. He was a smart hockey player of average size with good skills but nothing that stood out. In first year Bantam he was cut from two rep teams. The BC Best Ever Program cut him at the U16 zone tryouts." And that's when things began to change, not just mentally and emotionally—but physically. He grew, got more serious and was the fifth player from his bantam AAA team drafted to the WHL. He is likely to return to Moose Jaw this year

He is working out with his brother this summer and motivating each other to do better while also learning from Kyle's experience. "Family is the biggest thing you need when going through hockey, starting when you are young

and your parents are getting up at 5 a.m. for practice. They never put pressure on me or anything, they just wanted me to have fun and enjoy it but then also my dad telling me I could do something with this if I wanted to," he says.

Some of the very best fastball pitchers from B.C. and in Canada will be firing up their windmill this weekend as King Stadium plays host to the first of two high level fastball tournaments in Kelowna the next two weekends. The Men's Masters (over 40) Fastpitch Provincials begin tonight at King Stadium with four teams vying for the right to represent B.C. at the Western Canadian Fastpitch Championships in Leduc, Alberta in August. r The Kelowna Centennials hold the local hope and will battle against the Richmond Steelers, the Ladner Masters and the Victoria Masters in the tournament that brings some of the top fastball pitchers to King Stadium. "Every team has a good thrower," said Centennials centre fielder Keith Anderson. "It's going to be good quality ball but the pitching should be pretty dominant. It's one of those things that whoever gets their bats going could win it." The Centennials pitch-

the masters provincials as they look to advance to the westerns. "This is going to be tough for us but it's a pretty good format," said Anderson of the round robin event, followed by playoffs. "We have a couple good throwers and we have some pretty good bats. It's just a matter of if you can string some hits together." The Centennials open the tournament tonight (Friday) against Richmond at 7 p.m. Kelowna will then play Victoria

In the Drink fine-tuned for weekend event The Dragon In The Drink dragon boat team used a race last weekend in Penticton as a warm up to defend its title this weekend in Kelowna. Dragon in the Drink claimed the gold medal at the 3rd Annual Okanagan Super Sprints Dragon Boat Festival held in Penticton on July 2nd, winning the women's division. This was the second festival of the year for the Kelowna Dragon Boat

Club (KDBC) team and they were up against some tough competition. The day's competition consisted of 11 women's teams and six mixed teams from throughout B.C. Dragon In The Drink finished first in their heat and first place in the semi finals, qualifying for the finals. Due to wind conditions, the competition was called early and the results for the women's final were taken from the average times throughout the

day. Dragon in the Drink was awarded first place for the fastest time on the lake. The Penticton Sprints afforded Dragon In The Drink a great opportunity to prepare for this weekend's Kelowna Dragon Boat Races to be held on Okanagan Lake Saturday and Sunday (July 9th and 10th), where they will attempt to defend their gold medal title from the 2010 KDBC event.

There are over 30 players alone that are scratch golfers making the 60th annual event one of the most talented fields ever. Spectators are welcome to attend all of the three-day event with tee times on Friday beginning

A special Canada Day for a special hockey icon J uly 1 was a bang-up day for many Canadians, but few relished in the nation’s celebration as much as 87year old Howie Meeker. The former four-time NHL Stanley Cup champion, Hall of Fame broadcaster, and former Ontario MP celebrated his recent winning of the Order of Canada on Canada’s birthday joined by some 300 of his friends. My memory bank will be embedded forever—a picture of Howie and wife Leah standing in their yard greeting a line of folks stretching 150 feet to the entry—all waiting to shake hands with the worthy award winner. “Pretty gal darn amazing. What a day—can’t beat it.” Howie grinned later. Typical Howie— full of life and optimism. He’s been that way pretty much all his life. As far as Howie is concerned, anything and everything he’s done in life since the spring of 1944 has been a bonus. That was the day a grenade blew up between

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge his legs—knocking him into the air, out of the army, and certainly out of contention as a potential candidate for the NHL. In fact, after removing more than 60 pieces of lead and Bakelite from his ankles, legs, groin, and testicles, medical doctors told Howie he’d be lucky to walk again, let alone skate. Those Allied Forces doctors, like many NHL scouts and future opponents, did not know the burning tenacity within ‘Hurricane Howie.’ Meeker thrived on beating the odds and overcoming obstacles. It was that same gusto and initiative that not only earned him the 1946-47 rookie of the year award (Calder Trophy) and two rookie records, but also his first of four Stanley Cups. When his first NHL

season was complete, Howie had scored 27 goals, including an amazing five-goal affair against Chicago, and 45 points. The 27-goal record survived until Bernie Geoffrion scored 30 in his 1952 Calder winning season. Meeker’s fivegoal game performance still stands today tied with 1976 Ranger rookie Don Murdoch. Not a bad rookie year for a guy who was never supposed to skate again. “When I made the National Hockey League that first season I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. I was the happiest man in Canada. Absolutely nothing beat that feeling those first few games wearing a Maple Leaf sweater on my chest,” Meeker recalls. Howie beat a promising Red Wing rookie for the Calder, a then strapping 17-year named Gordie Howe. The lanky forward from Floral, Sak., saw limited action, but caught plenty of attention and everyone knew he was going to be a superb player. Howie beat-

ing Gordie for the Calder Trophy is one of the all time great hockey trivia answers. Even Meeker grimaces at the comparisons. “That had to be the greatest miscarriage of hockey justice ever. Actually the comparisons were not even fair and back then no one saw it that way either. I was a 24-year old man just back from war; he was a 17year-old gangly kid. You knew he was going to be a star some day, but he was just barely out of diapers,” Meeker squeaks. “Shucks, in the years to come I couldn’t have carried Gordie’s equipment bag. “I managed to play eight years in the NHL and for the most part I was scared every week of losing my job. I was an average player with average skills and yet never knew how to think, while playing the game. Winning the Calder and serving as a Member of Parlia (for Waterloo-South) probably extended my life as a Leaf.” After leaving the

NHL, Howie immediately coached Pittsburgh of the American Hockey League (Leaf farm team) for two successful seasons and then spent one dismal season as coach of his beloved Leafs. The following spring, he was named GM of the Leafs but was canned a few months later after punching Stafford Smythe (Conn’s kid) in the nose. “It was my best punch in hockey,” he chuckles. Meeker then moved to the Maritimes and went to work coaching senior and junior hockey, and eventually ran the entire Avalon Minor Hockey system in St. John’s, Nfld. He also earned a living working regular radio and TV sports shows, traveled the entire ‘Rock’ as a sales representative for various companies including Samsonite, Winchester, and Brunswick —and he also began his own hockey schools. In 1968, Meeker was invited to sit in as a guest colour commentator for a Hockey Night in Canada broadcast in Montreal and wound up staying be-

HOWIE MEEKER has seen a lifetime of unique

experiences come his way with his time spent as a hockey player, coach, general manager, teacher and television broadcaster hind the cameras of professional hockey broadcasting for 30 years. His efforts were finally acknowledged in 1998 when he was named to the Hockey Hall of Fame for broadcast excellence. Perhaps Howie’s greatest legacy to hockey, and to life, has been his relentless work with youth in teaching the game of hockey. He instructed hockey players across North America in the funda-

mentals of the games through his famous hockey schools for more than 30 years, and spent countless hours involved in fundraising and charity events—particularly those involving youth and the Special Olympics. Howie remains actively involved in charity functions, especially if it involves his passion of golf. And now, the Order of Canada sits fittingly upon his chest. Congratulations ‘Hurricane Howie!’

Play before the play in Ont. theatre town Ellen Creager CAPITAL NEWS CONTRIBUTOR

STRATFORD, Ontario—What if the play is not your thing? Thousands pack this Ontario town every summer for the theater, especially for Shakespeare. But if you’d rather be the star of your own show, Stratford can accommodate. First, we set the scene—affluent, respectable, upscale, more than a bit English. The lovely Avon River languidly flows through town (cue the chirping birds), and paddle boats and canoes dot the water. The sky is a rather conventional cornflower blue, the grass a soothing emerald. It’s afternoon. Patrons of the town’s theaters crowd in the doors to watch “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” “Jesus Christ Superstar” or some other new Stratford triumph. But, hark! I hear the siren song of other attractions: • Swans. They put on their own show right outside the Festival Theatre, preening, squawking, begging, swimming, feeding.

TRAVEL

Airline security a necessity Jane Engle CONTRIBUTOR

On May 1, 1961, Inez Harlow flew into the history books. The 23-yearold flight attendant had been suspicious of the slim passenger from the moment he boarded the National Airlines Convair CV-440 in Miami. “He had dark glasses on, his collar up, unshaven, right out of Mickey Spillane,” Harlow said in a recent interview. “He was abrupt and rude.” A few minutes when she didn’t see the man, she marched toward the unlocked cockpit. “I saw him with a gun on the copilot and he had his arm around the neck of the captain, with a knife.” The first aerial hijacking of a U.S. passenger plane had begun. The crew and handful of passengers survived. It was all over in a day. But for the American people, flying would never be the same. Fifty years later, U.S. air passengers face a phalanx of background checks, body scanners, metal and explosives detectors and an exacting list of more than 70 prohibited carryon items. Travelers can be forgiven for asking these two key questions: Is it worth it? And how did we get to this point? On the first question, doubters abound. But many security insiders answer “yes,” with this caveat: Air travel will never be risk-free. As for the second question: The fight to secure aviation has been a halting journey, replete with tragedies and debates that have tested everyone. And we’re nowhere near the end. We are, however, at a crossroads, said terrorism expert Brian Michael Jenkins, senior advisor to the president of Rand Corp., the Santa Monica, Calif.based think tank. As privacy guardians squirm and critics liken pat-downs to groping and full-body scans to virtual strip searches, “we are beginning to approach the edge of passenger tolerance,” Jenkins said. With air traffic on the rebound, the system may soon stagger under its own weight. Many experts are calling for a new approach to screening. When Joyce Fagerland of Mercer Island, Wash., a Pan American flight attendant from 1961-75, began her career, “no one ever looked into my hand-

bag, either as a flight attendant or passenger,” she said. It was only after a series of airliners was commandeered to Cuba and other 1960s hijackings that the life of the American flier began to change. In 1969, Eastern Air Lines, a frequent victim of attacks, started deploying a system, developed by the Federal Aviation Administration, that used a hijacker psychological profile, along with metal detectors, to screen passengers and their bags. The system wasn’t mandatory until the 1970s, a turbulent decade when Palestinians launched a murderous attack on a Rome airport; a bomb on a New York to Los Angeles flight was found minutes before it was set to detonate; and a man calling himself D.B. Cooper hijacked a passenger flight, parachuted away with a $200,000 ransom and vanished. In December 1972 the FAA issued an emergency rule requiring all passengers and carry-on bags to be screened or searched. It also mandated armed guards at boarding checkpoints and organized bomb-sniffing dog teams. Airlines later started using

X-rays to scan carry-on bags. Modern U.S. aviation security was born, and so were the controversies. In 1988, after a bomb exploded on Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, and killed 270 people, U.S. airlines began searching and Xraying checked luggage at European and Mideast airports. In 1998, two years after TWA Flight 800 mysteriously exploded on takeoff from New York, killing 230 people, carriers began using a computer-assisted system to separate certain fliers for extra scrutiny, based on behaviors and a government watch list. (Investigators later blamed the downing of Flight 800 on an equipment malfunction.) Civil libertarians accused the airlines of racial, national and religious profiling. But security seemed to be working. Although attacks on passenger jets didn’t end, terrorist hijackings worldwide fell from an average of nine or 10 a year between the late 1960s and late 1970s to three a year between 1987 and 1996. Then came Sept. 11, 2001. By the end of 2002,

a milestone had been reached: All checked baggage at U.S. airports was being screened for explosives and other dangerous materials. By the end of 2010, the TSA had finished implementing a program requiring carriers to collect every passenger’s name, birth date and gender for matching against security databases. Some experts say “one-size-fits-all” passenger screening is misguided and are calling for a new system. The International Air Transport Assn. is proposing a “checkpoint of the future” at which everyone would be scanned for various prohibited items but passengers who pay a fee and submit to background checks might walk from curbside to gate through an automated scanning tunnel and get on their flight. It would be like 1961 all over again. Jane Engle is a Capital News contributor.

NEWS ▼ MENTAL HEALTH

Impact of mental illness in the workplace can’t be ignored

have written about mental health in the workplace in the past and highlighted the importance for employers to realize that mental health problems affect people in all areas of life including the workplace. Mental illness hits companies hard every year in terms of lost productivity and disability days and now more than ever it is also costing employers in legal settlements. According to a relatively recent report put out by the Mental Health Commission of Canada, financial rewards for damages caused by mental injury at work have increased 700 per cent over the last five years. More than ever before, employers must now face their responsibilities when it comes to providing psychologically safe workplaces. In our modern world, the workplace can be filled with pressure and excessive stress—not to mention our tendencies today to never really leave work as we bring it with us on our mobile devices everywhere we go.

‘‘

THERE ARE A FEW WAYS IN WHICH EMPLOYERS CAN HELP ENSURE A SAFE AND MENTALLY HEALTHY WORKPLACE.

All of this can lead to common mental health issues including depression, anxiety and burnout, which are increasingly being characterized as mental injury in legal settings. According to the MHCC report, Canadian courts are increasingly intolerant of workplace factors that threaten the psychological safety of employees and the courts are ordering management to change habits while imposing financial punishments for failing to do so. An even more recent report released by the Conference Board of Canada surveyed more than 1,000 Canadian employees and found 44 percent say they have coped with a mental health problem such as extreme

HEALING MINDS

Often a graduated return to work is necessary to help them regain their confidence and overcome anxiety. Finally, employers

should consider implementing assistance programs for employees experiencing mental illness. These measures can help to make the work-

Twelve per cent said they were currently experiencing a mental health issue and another 32 percent said they had dealt with this in the past. These numbers are surprisingly high and definitely point to the need for employer awareness of mental health issues and how to prevent them in the workplace. Another interesting point in this report was the extent to which managers and employees see things differently. Almost half of all managers had no training in dealing with workplace mental health issues but four fifths said they felt equipped to do so. This compared with only 30 per cent of employees who agreed their management were prepared to deal with mental health issues and many feared disclosing their problems may jeopardize employment security or success. There are a few ways in which employers can help ensure a safe and mentally healthy workplace. First, it would go a long way toward eliminating stigma if management were encouraged to openly discuss the importance of mental health— this would help employees feel more comfortable admitting if they are having difficulty. Providing education to all management and employees about the dangers of excessive stress and the nature of some common mental illnesses would also be very helpful. Employers can review disability claims to raise their awareness of mental health within their own companies and can then review their return to work policies, education programs and workplace attitudes about mental health. When individuals are off work with a psychiatric disability, it is unrealistic to require them to return to work full time and 100 per cent better.

NEWS ▼ MLA’S REPORT

Navigating the ‘boomer glacier’ impact on health care I n Canada, health care is an expression of compassion. And while compassion is at its core, it’s still necessary to understand the economic and demographic issues impacting health care demand and delivery. Policy makers need this information to make decisions to best utilize scarce taxpayer dollars.

over the next 25 years and construct an economic model—a road map, if you will—with likely scenarios and benchmarks. Over the next few months, a subcommittee of three members will consult with experts on options, which will be

presented to the full committee sometime this fall. The second phase of committee work will most likely start in 2012. This will involve a rigorous review of potential system changes. The last phase is to present the public with our findings (in other

words, the challenges), a number of potential system changes to mitigate them (in other words, potential solutions), and from there, to measure their level of public support. It will likely take a year or more of work for our bipartisan committee

to submit its final report to the legislature. It is my hope that the committee will be charged every five years to measure progress and update the plan as needed. By creating a bipartisan 25-year plan for health care in B.C., we are breaking new ground.

With your participation and the guidance of some extremely wellqualified experts and MLAs on this committee, including two former ministers of health, two physicians, former ministers of finance, education, and advanced education, we are all excited about

the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of all British Columbians—both those around today, and those who will come after the boomer glacier has passed. Norm Letnick is the Liberal MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country. www.normletnickmla.bc.ca

Norm Letnick On June 22, Premier Christy Clark charged the bipartisan 10-member Select Standing Committee on Health with developing a long-term plan for our health system. Not because it will be easy, but because it must be done if we want to navigate the health care system through the coming “boomer glacier” and beyond. There are strong and often differing opinions on what impact the boomers will have on B.C.’s health system, and what changes should be introduced. With health care currently consuming approximately 41 per cent of our provincial budget and with so many parties having a financial or personal stake in this issue, discussions can quickly become passionate and polarized. Some project health care consuming over 60 per cent of the provincial budget. Others, like the OECD, estimate our ageing population will require Canadian health expenditures to rise from about 11 per cent to 14 per cent of GDP. The premier’s decision to re-engage the committee after a fiveyear hiatus is timely and smart; the first wave of boomers is turning 65. Many of them are sandwiched between caring for ageing parents, while still caring for children who live at home. The first part of the committee’s mandate is to assess the boomers’ potential impact on our health system as they age

PRICED at $1.4 million Euros, the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport is the world’s most expensive and most powerful production car. It is also one of the most stunning. In this photo, the tinted glass roof has been removed and stored.

During my years as an automotive journalist, I’ve had the opportunity to drive many nice vehicles. I do, however, spend most of my time road testing the kinds of cars, minivans, crossovers and SUVs that people typically buy. Still, I like to dream, and there are several cars on my “bucket list” that I hope someday I’ll drive. The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport was not on that list. Why? It’s just so far up the automotive ladder that I hadn’t really considered it. Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Porsche 911 GT2 RS and the Lexus LFA are a stretch. The Veyron is a

zinger, admiring what I would consider one of the world’s most stunning cars. I’ve seen a number of exotics, some gorgeous, some—like the Enzo Ferrari—not, but the Veyron is in a class by itself. “Quite often, super cars, are more about pure function and looks are secondary,” said Leitzinger. “With Bugatti, as in Bugattis of the past, they’ve always been a marriage of art and function. A lot of time was spent on the styling.” But as I had precious little time with the car, I was far more curious about the driving experience than the aesthetic experience. Thankfully, Butch was not one to linger on design principles and other abstractions. “Normally, cars like these are racecars,” Leitzinger continued, “and racecars are very good at going fast, but not so good at going slow. When a racecar leaves the pits, it’s all tire smoke and loud noises. He explained that what sets the Bugatti Grand Sport apart is that although it has all the performance numbers, it’s also easy to drive. Very docile if you’re just cruising around town. “It’s really a twin personality car. You’re able to drive through town with complete sophistication, but when you ask for it, it delivers the ultimate performance.” For starters, it will sprint from zero to 100 clicks in 2.7 seconds. Not bad, considering how much inertia the engine must overcome in launching nearly two tons of stainless steel, titanium, magnesium, aluminum and carbon fibre. And once the Veyron gets going full steam with one thousand horses (and 922 lb/ft of torque) behind it, there’s no holding it back. According to Bugatti, the Grand Sport will hit 200 kilometres an See Super B3

MOTORING Super from B2 hour in just 7.3 secondsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is roughly the time it takes for an average sports sedan to reach half that speed. Fast-forward to 16.7 seconds, and the car will top 300 kilometres an hour. The smart car I drove recently took nearly that long to catch up to highway traffic. And the Veyron will go even fasterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;407 km/h to be exact. Imagine the speeding ticket. Behind all that power is a 16-cylinder engine in a W-16 configuration: four banks of four cylinfders, each bank with its own turbocharger. And it produces much of its fpower at lower revs than youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect from a super car. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Typically, high-end cars like this have very rhigh-revving, very highstressed engines, and you have to shift them a lot to keep in the power band, kind of like a motorcycle,â&#x20AC;? explains Leitzinger. The Veyron, in contrast, has 538 lb/ft available from 1,000 rpm and can dish out peak torque from about 2,500 rpm. Which means at just about any time during your gentle Sunday drive, you can plant the pedal and unleash the beast.

back and the car blasts forward with its big air intakes behind the front seats gulping massive amounts of air. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From a dead stop it takes off like a scalded cat,â&#x20AC;? adds Leitzinger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But you can literally drive it with two fingers. It goes dead straight. The Veyron is a car that takes care of youâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to manhandle it to keep it under control.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really too bad we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t doing this on the Autobahn, as I had to remain ever vigilant about keeping within the speed limit. To paraphrase a colleague, driving a Veyron in Ontario is like keeping a cheetah in your apart-

ment. Part of the Grand Sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ease of use is in its seven-speed DSG gearbox. With twin clutchesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; one controlling first, third, fifth and seventh gears; the other handling reverse, second, fourth and sixthâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; no matter what gear youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in, the next has been selected and is ready to go. Which, of course, means quicker shifting and no â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;clunkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with each gear change. Not that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect any clunking in a two million dollar car.

But I just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough time to get a full sense of the driving dynamics.

MOTORING ▼ MOTORBIKE

A weekend on the hello, goodbye tour CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

I started thinking of it as the “Hello, Goodbye” tour. We were planning to visit our daughter, take a scenic route, maybe find a nice inn on the way and make a weekend out of it. “How about on a K1300GT?” the guy at BMW offered. “Sounds good,” I said. And hello, old friend. I’d ridden the bike before. The K1300GT was introduced as a 2009 model year update of the former K1200GT. The increase in displacement added a natural bump up in engine power. More importantly, the revised motor was tweaked for improved bottom end torque. The new-for-2009 bike also offered badged vents to break the slabsided body panels, other modernized touch-ups, a full suite of dynamic technologies and ergonomic improvements that included, ye gods, a Japanesestyle signal switch assembly at the left grip. In keeping with its Gran Turismo badging, the K1300GT’s design goal was to combine agility and sports performance with the more upright seating, comfort and accommodations of a long distance tourer. A few years ago, my wife Mary and I took a blue 2009 model on a 10-day roundabout trip to Ottawa, “to visit our money”, as a buddy of mine would say. And the K1300GT proved a likeable and reliable machine, a perfect compromise of traveling utility blended with the potent ability of

still hitting the sweet spot of adrenalized sportiness whenever you were so inclined. “Doesn’t look like it’s changed much,” I said when I arrived at BMW Canada to pick up the latest one. This year’s 2011 model is offered in a handsome shade of Granite Grey Metallic. Standard features include ABS braking, a power-adjustable windshield, built-in centre stand, heated grips, adjustable headlamps, adjustable handlebars, adjustable front seat height, auxiliary power socket, panniers, even a convenient front storage pocket or glovebox. “Hmm, but the one we took last time didn’t have all this extra stuff on it,” I added, taking a closer look. “Well, those are the options that come with the Exclusive Edition package,” I was told. “Except, umm, they’re not really optional.” “Huh?” Turns out that BMW Canada is offering the K1300GT only in Exclusive Edition flavour this year. With, well, sort of “compulsory” options, you might say. It bumps the price up by $2,500. It also bumps up the content level significantly with a tire pressure control system, Automatic Stability Control (ASC), heated seats, onboard computer, cruise control, xenon headlight, a button-operated ESA system that allows for “Normal”, “Sport” and “Comfort” suspension adjustments on the fly, and a big colour-matched top case to complement the side panniers with a single-key locking system.

Grey Metallic, pictured here exactly where it belongs, in the middle of a road trip. This sport tourer combines silky smooth four-cylinder power and styling in a package that makes the best of performance and touring utility, this year offered only in premium trim with a full suite of dynamic technologies and comforts.

Now, this is where we get into the “goodbye” part of the story. A cynic might say that BMW is simply clearing the parts shelves before dumping the K1300GT. You see, the company just unveiled their new See Bike B6

dragged out her departure with a leisurely second cup of coffee at the inn. Mornings are the best time to ride, when the winds are still and the air is cool and crisp. And the K1300GT complimented the morning quiet, whispering through the side streets without the â&#x20AC;&#x153;look at meâ&#x20AC;? loud pipe antics of some silly skull-bedecked chopper. I explored the edges of the port, riding back and forth and, on one turnaround back to the centre of town, took the lazy U-turn option, cycling through the circular driveway of an Extendicare facility. A man in a wheelchair was sitting in the garden in the middle of the paved circle, watching me as I rotated around him. Our eyes met as I was leaving and I felt an instant pang of regret, because I had noticed him too late. Too late to nod, wave or somehow acknowledge him. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funny how small indiscriminate moments can crystallize into sharp focus, into snapshot memories that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to choose. Somehow, they choose us.

CARS

K1600 touring bikesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the K1600GT and the fully loaded K1600GTL. And these brand new, top-of-the line tourers offer ground-breaking sixcylinder performance and features like an available adaptive powered headlight system that turns and tilts with the bikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motion, Bluetooth connectivity, a GPS-ready audio system and a full suite of technologies beyond those available on the K1300GT. There are two schools of thought here. The K1300GT might be next up on BMWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s redesign list, allowing the company to continue to offer an inline-four middleweight touring alternative for about $5K less than an equally loaded K1600GTL. Or, the cynics could be right. BMW might simply scrap the K1300GT as an unnecessary distraction and a potential inhouse, undercutting competitor to the bigger, premium K1600 series bikes. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see. But our recent trip reminded me how userfriendly the K1300GT is, the 160 hp inline-four offering ample acceleration without the low-speed

awkwardness of heavier tourers. The bike was a joy. We stuck to lonely country roads and secondary highways, finding curves and corners wherever we could, taking our pleasure at easygoing, visor cracked-open speeds ranging between 80-100 kph. The suspension was set on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Comfortâ&#x20AC;? mode. Our route ebbed and flowed along a long lakeshore ride to our inn in a small port town. Mary and I travel light. We usually claim a pannier each, and BMWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big sidecases offered ample room, leaving the luxury of the topcaseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available space for extras. And, with BMWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handy quick-release system, you have the option of either stripping the bike down for a sporty outing, or treating the panniers like individual suitcases, packing them at leisure in your home or hotel room before snapping them back on the bike. It beats trying to load up outside in the rain. But we saw only sunshine, and on the second morning, I closed the sidecases and set off to take a few photos of the bike against the harbour backdrop while Mary

While the F-150 pickup truck has been the bread and butter vehicle for Ford, topping the sales rcharts year after year, the Fiesta brings a whole new audience to the Ford brand. So instead of gor ing bigger, Ford is going in the opposite direction with the Fiesta to spur car sales in the North American market. The Fiesta was

launched here last year after tremendous success in Europe and Asia. It has won numerous awards around the world, including the Best New Small Car under $21,000 by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). Based on a platform originally designed by Mazda (when the two companies were financially intertwined) and used on the Mazda2 now on sale here as well, the Fiesta comes in both four-door sedan and five-door hatchback styles. My tester was fivedoor SE model, starting at

selling models around the world, the Fiesta subcompact returns to North America for the 2011 model year. With 15 classexclusive technologies, the Fiesta also has a bestin-class fuel economy rating of 4.9L/100 km on the highway. CONTRIBUTED

Rides to be cherished I certainly hadn’t been cruising in search of melancholy, but as I rode down the hill, back towards the harbour, I couldn’t help but dwell on the man in the wheelchair, and feel the keen difference between our realities. I could only hope that I had stirred memories instead of regrets and a sense of loss. I reminded myself that morning rides, heck, all rides, were to be cherished for the fleeting moments of time that they are. And I hoped that our weekend on the K1300GT was not a “goodbye” tour. Maybe more of an “Auf Wiedersehn” ride. Which translates more optimistically into “see you again.”

Fiesta continues to be low in price, but high on content $16,799. With options, the car topped out at $19,529 plus $1,350 freight and PDI. This is the seventh generation of the popular Fiesta line that has been one of the best-selling models in Europe for more than three decades. It is back in North America after a brief stint here in the late ‘70s. Now, with gas prices currently in the $1.30/litre range in Southern Ontario, consumers are once again taking notice of small, fuel-efficient vehicles in even greater numbers.

Small cars make up more than a quarter of all vehicle sales here, but the subcompact segment was an area that Ford neglected for far too many years as it concentrated on pickups and SUVs in the North American market. So Ford sees small cars as its largest opportunity for growth, particularly in North America, where the trend to smaller cars has taken longer to catch on than in Europe and Asia. Ford now realizes that customers no longer buy small cars based on necessity alone. While that may have been the case south of the border, Canadians

have been gravitating to smaller cars for years, even before the start of the recent fuel crisis and the recession. So Ford has made styling a priority with its first for the Fiesta—it’s first “world car”—which was designed and developed to meet differing needs, wants and expectations of customers around the world. Unlike most cars in the subcompact class, the Fiesta is much more than just a bare-bones vehicle. It offers 15 class-exclusive technologies and delivers 4.9L/100 km highway fuel economy—the

best in class according to Ford. The Fiesta starts at just $12,999 for the S Sedan that has features like antilock brakes (ABS), power side mirrors, electronic power-assisted steering, electronic stability control, seven standard air bags and tilt/telescoping steering wheel. Many of these would have been unheard of on base models of subcompacts in the past, but times have changed and technological advances have made many of these features financially feasible. Powered by a Duratec 1.6-litre DOHC inline four-cylinder engine, making 120 hp and 112 lb/ft of torque, the Fiesta comes with a standard five-speed manual transmission or an optional sixspeed automatic. The automatic has a fuel rating of 6.9/5.1L/100 km city/highway, while the manual comes in at 7.1/5.3L/100 km. However, the best fuel economy is achieved with the automatic and the SFE (Super Fuel Economy) package that includes side-tire deflectors, underbody shields, lower grille blocker, cruise control, spare wheel with wheel cap and rear spoiler (on the sedan). This is a $500 option and results in fuel economy numbers of 6.8/4.9L/100 km city/ highway. Helping Ford reach these fuel economy numbers is the new Powershift transmission, a dual clutch gearbox that combines the responsive performance and fuel economy of a manual transmission with the convenience of a traditional automatic in an advanced dry clutch package. The “dry” transmission operates with sealed internal lubrication, reducing internal friction and adding to the fuel

THE HATCHBACK version of the Fiesta is expected to be its volume seller, although a four-door sedan is also offered in Canada. computers and other mobile devices. Ford’s available SYNC system (a $650 option on the SE) integrates a mobile device with Fiesta’s onboard voice-activated communications and entertainment system. For example, if you get a text message, you can tell SYNC to read it to you or you can ask SYNC to play a certain musical selection or place a phone call for you. The system was designed in concert with Microsoft and displays information on a four-inch LCD monitor on the dash to the right of the steering wheel. After driving the European version of the Fiesta previously, I was pleasantly surprised to find that our North American model has lost none of the pizzazz of its counterpart across the pond. Steering is light, yet responsive and the ride and handling is excellent for a car in this segment, certainly on par with many more expensive ones I’ve driven in the past year. During AJAC testing for Car of the Year last fall, the Fiesta posted

economy. With no pumps and hoses, Ford says this transmission improves fuel economy by nine per cent. The Fiesta is offered in five trim levels; S, SE and SEL in the sedan, and SE and SES in the hatch, priced at $18,999. What helps set the Fiesta apart from the competition in the B-segment is the styling and bold array of colours, including Lime Squeeze metallic, Yellow Blaze, Red Candy and Bright Magenta. The interior has the look of a much more expensive vehicle, with greater use of soft-touch materials and contrasting colours than you normally see in this segment. Different seat fabric options are available, including leather. One feature that stands out is the centre stack, designed to look and work like a cell-phone keypad. Ford says this is an important element in helping market the car to a key demographic groupãthe 16- to 30-year-olds. These are people who are always connected through their cell phones,

a 0-100 km/h time of 10.7 seconds, yet it feels quicker on the road. It is a light car at 1,179 kg (2,593 lb) and that helps in the handling. The Powershift transmission shifts smoothly and the engine is fairly quiet at speed, although a bit noisy if you push it on takeoff. All in all, it’s no wonder Ford has such big hopes for its smallest car. The Fiesta has a lot going for it and is sure to bring more customers into the Ford fold.

How do you make a good car like the Infiniti G37 even better? Well, you do what some other manufacturers have done—you tweak the engine, the suspension and the brakes, and voila, you have a sportier version that handles and performs even better. For Infiniti, it all starts with the G37 Coupe that has been given the IPL (Infiniti Performance Line) treatment for 2011. What they have done is not unlike what Audi has done with the S line, BMW with the M line and Cadillac with the V series. But perhaps the best known of all is the AMG series that has turned numerous Mercedes models into high-performance tsupercars. The IPL G37 is Infiniti’s first venture into a high-performance line, but not likely its last. There is expected to be a range of IPL vehicles, with the M sedan likely next in line for a similar treatment. The changes on the IPL Coupe are fairly subtle, unlike the German high-performance lines tthat turn docile cars into autobahn racers. With the rear-wheel drive Infiniti IPL, horsepower is up 18 over the standard version to 348 from 330 and torque jumps to 276 lb/ft from 270. Part of the power increase comes from special tuning of the exhaust system. This not only adds power, but also gives the dual exhaust system a more aggressive sound at the same time. The suspension has also been tweaked with stiffer springs and specially tuned shocks. The IPL package also includes 19-inch, seven-spoke wheels. On the front are 225/45R19 W-rated tires with 245/40R19 W-rated tires on the rear. Beside the IPL logo on the trunk lid, there are other telltale signs this is more than your normal G37 Coupe. Most noticeable is an aero body kit that includes a rear spoiler, different fascias front and rear, twin chrome exhaust tips, and side body sill kit. It’s definitely a sportier look than the basic G37 Coupe. The IPL is available in two exterior colours, the Asgard Grey of my tester with Graphite leather interior and Malbec Black with a red leather interior. With a six-speed

manual transmission or seven-speed automatic, the IPL G37 Coupe is priced at $57,200. This is a wellequipped model with fea-

Sportiness and quality come through with Infiniti IPL G37 Infiniti from B9 with AM/FM, one disc indash CD and 9.3 GB hard drive. Steering wheelmounted audio controls, speed sensitive volume control, Bluetooth wireless technology, XM satellite radio and MP3/ WMA capability are also included. The interior has a quality look with a sporty feel. The leather upholstery is soft to the touch and the red stitching adds a bit of contrast to the cabin, as does the aluminum dash trim.

The driver’s seat is nicely bolstered and provides ideal support for more spirited driving conditions. This is a 2+2 configuration and while legroom and headroom is at a premium in back, the seats are usable. Access is difficult, however, with the low roofline and the two-door coupe format and adults wouldn’t want to spend too much time back here. On the road is where the IPL G37 shines. The extra 18 hp give it a bit more kick, but there is some engine drone to contend with thanks to the ex-

firmly planted to the pavement and leaves the driver with a feeling of security. The IPL is not a car for everyone; it’s aimed squarely at the driving enthusiast who wants to get a little more out of what is already a great car in G37. For those drivers, the extra cost would be money well spent.

THE IPL VERSION of the G37 Coupe has an aero

haust tuning. Steering is quick and precise and the tweaking of the shocks and springs is noticeable compared with the base G37. With its sport-tuned suspension, the ride is certainly firmer than with the regular G37. It’s a joy to drive on good roads, but during spring pothole season in Southern Ontario, you might find yourself wishing for a little softer ride. My tester had the sixspeed manual transmission, which shifts smoothly. However, I found the clutch a bit finicky and it took some getting used to before I was comfortable with the set-up.

Tips for the senior driver By Kate Wells, DriveWise BC A common myth is that when you become a senior, you start to become a bad driver. However, age alone is not a factor in bad driving. In fact, many older, more experienced drivers remain safe on our roads. The issue is that our bodies, both physically and mentally, begin to change as we grow older and this may affect the way we drive. Today’s roads are much busier than before. We are not just watching out for other cars, but pedestrians, cyclists, motorbikes and motorized scooters, to name just a few.

Older drivers take longer to respond to important decisions and may have to deal with weaker muscles, limited range of motion and a reduction in ﬂexibility. This can interfere with our ability to be aware of our surroundings, 360 degrees around our vehicle. We recommend a few things we can do as drivers to compensate for the changes brought about by aging: • Have regular medical and vision check-ups at least once a year. • Avoid driving in stressful trafﬁc situations. • Keep an appropriate distance from vehicles ahead. Always use a “three second” following distance.

• Take medication in prescribed amounts and at intervals speciﬁed by your doctor.

There are Canadian owners, but their cars are, for the most part, elsewhere. Probably where the weather and speed limits are more favourable. As for the price, even if you can part with 1.4 million Euros, be prepared for lofty maintenance costs.

As for rubber, not just any tires will do, so Michelin hand-made those on the Grand Sport. I inquired about the cost of replacing them, to which Hill casually replied, $40,000 for the set.

Weighing your options as a first-time home buyer More than ever, first-time homebuyers are weighing their options before embarking on the Canadian dream of owning a home. We want consumers to be comfortable with the financial responsibilities of owning a home, so it’s important to determine what you can afford in order to maintain a reasonable lifestyle after taking that financial leap to buy a home. Consider some of these helpful pointers as a first-time homebuyer:

DETERMINE YOUR NET WORTH

Take your assets—including cash, investments, savings, vehicles, RRSPs and any other items you own—and subtract your liabilities—including car loans, lines of credit, overdrafts and credit cards. If your total is a positive number, that is a good sign that you may be ready to purchase a home.

OBTAIN MORTGAGE PRE-APPROVAL

Contact a mortgage professional

to discuss your mortgage options. It will help you determine an appropriate mortgage term, amortization period and interest rate to fit your specific needs. Mortgage brokers can then submit your mortgage application to lenders and shop around for the best interest rate options. It is important to have a pre-approval in place before house hunting to make any offer made on a house more attractive to the seller and other real estate agents.

WORKING WITH A REALTOR

Real estate agents offer a service to home buyers that can help expedite the process. You can also ask your family and friends for a referral, or explore real estate sites to read profiles on agents. A real estate agent will have knowledge of accurate, real–time market data to leverage your negotiating position, as well as access to properties often even before they are listed on MLS.

BE REALISTIC

Always be sure to shop for a home within your pre-determined price range. Don’t look for homes you can’t afford. A home is a long-term investment, so be sure the monthly mortgage payments will be affordable for you over the term you have chosen.

RENTING OUT A SUITE

A great option for first-time home buyers is to purchase a home with a suite or separate living area. The rental income will improve your mortgage qualification limit and help with the monthly payments. Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of mortgage professionals: Kristin Rosdal (250-878-007);Trish Balaberde (250-470-8324); Darwyn Sloat (250-718-4117); Arlyne Wilson (250-862-1818).

AN INTERIOR VIEW of the main floor options for a GlenValley townhome.

W GLENVALLEY

Townhome development offers neighbourhood feel

Enjoy Family Enjoy Friends or lw

Selkirk

Di th

This means the homes are exceptionally air-tight, with little heat or cooling loss through hidden holes in the building envelope. EnerGuide windows, doors, lightbulbs and insulation have all been chosen for every home at GlenValley. This high rating makes GlenValley unique in the province. It’s the only EnergyStar project currently in the province of British Columbia. “GlenValley is unique in the province with the combination of a geothermal field and the Energy Star rating. It is positioned for the future market where energy consumption will play an important role, plus it protects a buyer’s investment today,” said Pat Klassen, with Points West Realty Group. GlenValley has a community minded design. A local firm, Architecturally Distinct Solutions, worked closely with the development company to create a neighbourhood designed for people who want to be neighbours. The front yards face each other for an extended feeling of green space. Walkways are paved between the townhome

units, and the rooflines have been varied to create a dynamic look and feel to the neighbourhood. The developer and architect invested time and effort in discovering the wants and needs of home buyers looking for a townhome, Klassen said, and that unique mix of chosen features and value has resonated in the marketplace. The architectural styling of the homes is a modified Craftsman style, with HardiePlank siding. Generous brick accents, front porches punctuated with white pillars and painted white trim complete the look. GlenValley is located at 600 Boyton Place, just off of Clifton. It is nestled at the northeast base of Knox Mountain Park, with easy access to the park’s trail system.

The top end of the price range is $389,900 for a three storey units plus basement, with the entire top floor serving as the master suite.
