hile the economic recession has made people more selective about where they spend their entertainment dollars, one city facility that seems to be drawing consistent support these days is the Kelowna Community Theatre. The bustling show biz destination in the heart

of Kelowna’s downtown attracts community members from every single demographic in our city, from thrilled parents of dance recital students to discerning members of the cultural cognoscenti who catch world class classical performances. These days at the Kelowna Community Theatre, the toughest decision is which show to book your tickets for. See story A3.

CLOSE-UP

Community theatre has found its comfort zone from A1 The Kelowna Community Theatre is enjoying a steady hold in attendance of shows and the number of shows after a steady boom in the middle of the last decade. It is a real contrast to the state of the live theatre industry across North America, says theatre general manager Randy Zahara. “We doubled from 2004 to 2009. We are not immune to the recession and people are more cautious with their disposable income. Our industry has had flat numbers since 2009,” Zahara said. “Across North America some areas have ticket sales down 20 per cent. We’ve avoided that.” While times may be tough, Kelowna Community Theatre is coping, Zahara says, by bringing in world class acts and committing to the community. This twofold strategy embraces the idea of youth performing on a large stage for the first time and local performers having the opportunity to engage their local audience and build a following. The second part of the plan is to bring in the quality touring acts that will not only draw in a diverse audience, he says, but expose local artists and talent to an environment they can aspire to be a part of. Bringing in larger acts has required relationship building on the part of Zahara, who took on the

GENERAL MANAGER Randy Zahara outside the entrance to the Kelowna Community Theatre. role of general manager eight years ago. “We were lacking in the touring shows and it is great to be exposed to other artists,” he said. “We have tried to bring in some of the bigger shows and in turn partner more locally.” Bigger shows tend to mean profitable ventures

for the theatre. Those profits are then poured into local partnerships with performers. As a general rule, a local partnership shifts more of the risk to the Kelowna Community Theatre, allowing smaller community groups to stage their production. “We are passion-

ate about giving our local performers the opportunity to be on stage,” said Zahara. Zahara works closely with touring companies to showcase emerging talent that are building their regional and national names. Upcoming is Sarah Slean, the Canadian

chanteuse with impeccable piano styling and memorable vocals in support of her double album, Land and Sea, which is being heralded by critics as a Canadian masterpiece of pop and ballads. Slean will perform at the community theatre on Nov. 20. Occasionally, those

relationships bring in big catch entertainers and shows in unexpected ways. Zahara just signed the contracts for comedian great, Bob Saget. Purely just for grownups, this show is a world away from the family friendly Saget you might remember from 1980

and ‘90s TV shows Full House and America’s Funniest Home Videos. Saget’s comedy stage show takes on a decidedly more off-colour tone that has made him a popular attraction at comedy clubs across North America. Tickets for Saget’s Jan. 18 appearance at the KCT go on sale next week. Reflective of the theatre’s diverse lineup of performers, another coming attraction will be the Cuban National Ballet, scheduled to play here Feb. 11 and 12, 2012, and considered one of the top five ballet companies in the world. Next week is the launch of Burlesque to Broadway, starring Quinn Lemley and directed by Tony award winner Joseph Hardy. Partial proceeds from that show are donated to the B.C. Cancer Foundation. “This (Burlesque) is probably one of the most ‘professional’ shows we have ever had,” muses Zahara. “The players and the show come from off Broadway in New York “It is touring to head to Broadway, you can tell by the confidence and the elegance of the performer, Quinn Lemley. “We’ve got some beautiful talent locally. But to see this… it is one of the best shows you can see without going to New York.” Zahara works to keep See Zone A6

The venue has 853 seats, compared to the spacious 6,000 seat Prospera Place and the intimately sized 320 seat Mary Irwin Theatre at the Rotary Centre for the Arts. The KCT’s seating capacity is big enough for larger acts to make money. Keeping the theatre financially viable is deeply important to Zahara. The City of Kelowna funds the theatre to the tune of $162,000 per year. All other theatre operating funds come from ticket sales, including the large investment in the brand new digital sound

This weekend is Falcon’s Trumpet. This production has been three years in the making. It is the first time in years that the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra and Ballet Kelowna have collaborated and the first time ever to such an extent. Falcon’s Trumpet is composed by R. Murray Schafer, who will be in attendance. It is a concerto for trumpet and orchestra

with natural stereo sound. First trumpet, Guy Few, and the conductor will be onstage. The orchestra will be strategically spaced around the theatre, at the rear of the stage, in the wings, in the midst of the audience and at the back of the theatre. The stage will feature Ballet Kelowna with original choreography by Ballet Kelowna artistic director, David LaHay. The Kelowna Community Theatre is home base for both the Okanagan Symphony and Ballet Kelowna, two more reasons why it has become the second busiest theatre in B.C. for the past five

City in Action COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS Bernard Avenue Revitalization

City Council endorsed a staﬀ recommendation Monday to begin revitalizing Bernard Avenue in the fall 2012. The $14-million investment is expected to begin in September 2012, with winter work dependent on weather conditions. Work will stop during peak tourism season in the summer and then ramp up again in the fall. The majority of construction is anticipated to be completed in the fall of 2013, however, some work and ﬁnal paving is likely to take place in the spring 2014.

Council will review the provisional 2012 Financial Plan during an all-day public meeting on January 13, 2012. The public’s first look at the proposed budget will be an overview presented at the regular Council Meeting on January 9, 2012. The final tax rate will be set in May 2012 when City Council reviews final budget requests. kelowna.ca/council

Author on the trail of dinosaurs Author Vivien Lougheed will be stopping in Kelowna to speak at the Okanagan Regional Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown library branch as part of her provincial tour promoting Sidetracked, her new book about dinosaur trackways and fossil finds in B.C. Hailing from Prince George, Lougheed will present a slide show and describe her discovery of fossils, as well as shed light on the debate between amateur and professional palaeontologists about dinosaurs in our province. This free presentation will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 25, 7 p.m., at the Kelowna downtown library branch, 1380 Ellis St. Born and raised in Winnipeg, Lougheed moved to Prince George in 1970 and has made it her home ever since.

A study by the Berkeley Earth Project says changing sea temperatures in the north Atlantic may be a major reason why the Earth’s average temperature varies globally from year to year.

The UK government has said that it will invest £7m to tackle tree diseases, amid fears that millions of trees could be lost unless urgent action is taken.

A £1bn project to turn a Scottish power station into a world leader in climatechange technology with the UK’s first carbon capture project have been scrapped.

Carbon tax rebate program unfair to many To the editor: On July 1, 2008 the British Columbia government introduced a “revenue neutral” carbon tax. Since that time, we have been paying a carbon tax levy on a number of items, the main one being every litre of fuel we use. On July 1, 2011, this tax was increased to 5.56 cents per litre, which adds about $3 to $5 every time you fill yourj vehicle’s tank. People concerned about protecting our environment supported the program. The problem is that this tax was imposed before any well planned programs to reduce carbon emissions were in place and so revenues built up. The only real program has been the rapid transit system on the Lower Mainland, but to date, there is no evidence to show that this has reduced automobile traffic in the Vancouver area. In January, the provincial government announced a $200 increase to homeowner grants for all B.C. resi-

And yet, while actress Naomi Wolf wasn’t there to get arrested and the millionaire rappers skipped the scene for one with more cameras, this army of nobodies managed to pull off a decidedly Bolshevik air befitting its October timing and theme. Standing on the sidelines, one couldn’t help but think Kelowna really misses the party on the dignity and human rights front. Despite a clear divide between the rich and the poor, uprisings of any kind are generally frowned upon if they come together at all. With a more privileged student body than many Canadian cities and less access to organized non-profits, like the large immigrant service net-

works of major urban centres, the land of the rich and the white manages to turn its shade-sporting gaze to the lake and perpetually set aside its problems for another day. One has to admire the spirit of the three earnest souls still parked beneath The Sails. There’s a much larger world of damn-the-man justice seekers out there, most of Kelowna just hasn’t stopped to notice. Jennifer Smith is a reporter of the Capital News.

LETTERS â&#x2013;ź BUILDING HEIGHTS

Public hearing not advertised properly To the editor: The Oct. 18 public hearing on proposed Kelowna bylaw 10568 and 10594 should be reopened because city staff failed to provide proper notice on the real purpose of the bylaws. The published notice is vague and states the purpose was to amend the Official Community Plan and zoning bylaws in relation to the Downtown Plan charrette recommendations. The actual Downtown Plan charrette recommendations include: â&#x20AC;˘ Increasing building heights from 12 to 26 stort

eys. â&#x20AC;˘ Providing developers with height and density variances in exchange for public amenities. â&#x20AC;˘ Providing land swaps to enable block consolidations. â&#x20AC;˘ Restricting growth outside downtown. â&#x20AC;˘ Providing public incentives to developers to enable downtown development. â&#x20AC;˘ Increasing public subsidies to developers for new roads, parks, water and sewer services. The actual bylaw amendments permit downtown highrises adjacent to the lake, increased

building heights in all areas of the city and enable the city to enter into long-term public spending agreements that benefit downtown businesses and property owners. Economic, environ-

mental or engineering feasibility studies to support the amendments have not been made public. Long-term public costs and benefits of the bylaw amendments have also not been identified, assessed and justified to show they will benefit the entire community. The B.C. courts have long recognized that it is essential for citizens to be informed of the intent of city bylaws. Judgements have upheld the belief that the purpose of a public hearing notice is intended to enable concerned residents to reach a conclusion as to whether to

seek further details on the bylaws and present their concerns to council at the public hearing. Case law supports the argument that a notice is required to set out the intent of the bylaw in general terms to enable residents to be informed within reason as to the extent, if any, to which the bylaw might affect them. This is a major failure in the public process. Taxpayers and ratepayers were not informed of the intent of the bylaws and their long-term economic impacts. Richard Drinnan Kelowna

To the editor: Caring, kind-hearted, sharing, flexible, outstanding. These words rjust donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to fully describe foster parents. t They are all that and a twhole lot more. They open their homes, their families and their hearts to children in need of a safe place to live for a while. t They provide a warm, loving, family environment, for a limited amount of time, until the children tcan return home. Some children stay

a few days, while others may stay for longer times or move on to adoption. They work as a team with the social workers, the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family, teachers, doctors, and counsellors. Many of the children have special needs. Foster parents take a large number of courses and workshops to enhance their skills and knowledge. They respect a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cultural heritage and encourage the children to maintain ties with their culture and their extended

family. Foster parents are special people. They are moms and dads who open their homes and their hearts to children of all ages. Fostering can be very challenging as well as rewarding. Foster parents deal with a wide variety of behaviours and challenges. They also must have a great deal of patience and a good sense of humour! They juggle the needs of their own families, the needs of the child in care

and the needs of MCFD and the birth families. The average person cannot comprehend the heartaches, the tears, the fears and also the joys of opening their hearts and their home to a foster child. Foster parent families truly are a hidden treasure in our communities. I have had the privilege of working as a foster parent coordinator for the past 18 years. During that time, I have met and worked with some of the best people

youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ever want to know. Their level of commitment to the children and their exceptional efforts to help children, have left me inspired. October is Foster Family Appreciation month in B.C. If you know someone who is a foster parent, let them know how special they are. We think everyone of them is terrific. Joan Kirkbride foster parent cordinator, Okanagan Foster Parents Association

â&#x2013;ź CARBON TAX REBATE

Excluding First Nation land residents is just wrong Tax from A10

dents outside of the Lower Mainland and Victoria as a means of rebating this tax. This means that anyone not receiving the provincial government homeowner grant did not receive a rebate. This includes renters, all residents of First Nation reserve lands and, of course, visitors to B.C. There are now 9,000 non-native residents living on Westbank First Nation land, in about 3,500 residential properties. There are 35 First Nations in B.C. with non native residential properties. They were all excluded from the rebate program. Since the rebate was announced, there has been a lot of discussion with the

B.C. government about the inequity. It has been a major issue for the advisory council to the WFN, representing non-native residents living on WFN land, the chief and council of WFN and the First Nations Tax Commission, which represents all 35 First Nations with non native residents. There have also been letters from individuals affected by this inequity. On Sept. 29, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon turned down the request. This means that those of us living on First Nation land are subject to a tax that recycles money out of our pockets into someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pocket. Is this the purpose of the carbon tax? The current rebate pro-

gram is totally unfair and inequitable. If the government does not have programs designed to reduce carbon emissions, why collect the tax? If it is going to refund it, why only refund it to B.C residents eligible for the provincial home owner grant? Are we, residents who live on WFN land, second-class citizens? The cost of providing this rebate to residents on WFN land would be approximately $485,000. The cost for all BC bands with taxing authority is probably less than $1 million, as many of the other 35 bands are in the Lower Mainland area and are excluded from the rebate program and other bands have much smaller

non-native populations. My view is that we should get rid of this tax until there are real programs designed to reduce carbon emissions. This tax is current-

ly being collected under false presences.

On Sunday, Oct. 23, runners will take part in the seventh annual Great Big Run For Africa: A 100 kilometre relay from West Kelowna to Enderby. The purpose of the trek is to raise funds and awareness for impoverished women in Ethiopia. Runners will take off from Flaman Fitness in West Kelowna at 7 a.m. It is estimated that runners will cross the finish line around 5 p.m., where they will be escorted by the Enderby Fire Department. Each participant will run a minimum 5 km section of the total 100 km journey. The initiative is part of Partners in the Horn of Africa: A non-denominational, Enderby-based charity that gives 100 per cent of donations directly to aid projects in Ethiopia. The money raised will allow women to start their own business, which will help them support their families. The assistance will provide training and a micro-finance loan for creation of the business.

According to the Partners in the Horn of Africa website, a $70 donation can help one Ethiopian woman start a business to support her entire family. Other runners will participate in a shorter, 50 km trek from Mabel Lake to Enderby on the same day. Proceeds from that event will go to the same cause. An approximate schedule has been created for those interested in cheering on runners. At 7 a.m. the group will take off from Flaman Fitness. At 8:20 a.m. they will reach the Esso gas station on the east side of the bridge. At 8:50 a.m. they will pass Staples in Dilworth Centre and at 10 a.m. they will cruise past the Kelowna International Airport. There is a seven kilometre section of the course that is deemed unsafe for runners. An RV will transport runners past this leg of the journey. Preregistration is necessary for all interested participants. Those who are interested in participating in the run, or those who want to sponsor a runner with a pledge can contact Stephanie Moore at 778-214-1078.

of the down-filled sleeping bag, and only my nose and cheeks are cold. The upside is, it’s quiet, with only the whisper of those dryJudie ing leaves as they Steeves rustle in amongst their colleagues who have already hit the forest floor, and the sigh of the breeze as it sifts through the pine and fir needles high above you. When the air is still, even if it is cold, hillsides that have shown their mantle of deep shades of cool green all summer, reflect their new multicoloured attire in the lake below, complete with the deep-blue sky and its occasional drift of soft white cloud. I love the change of seasons; the distinction of four different seasons. When I first moved to the coast from the Okanagan I found it really confusing. Seasons just seemed to blend into one another. The only difference seemed to be the amount of rain that fell in each.

ative. It brings back memories of s’mores from Guide camps; fish frying in a pan from outings with my Dad; charred marshmallows on family fishing trips; burned fingers from my first few tenting trips as a young adult; laundry loads of smoke-infused kids’ clothing later on; and hotdogs with the grandkids wherever we happen to be in the bush. They’re all good memories. So, despite the fact that we’ve sat at the tables of some of the best world-calibre chefs in the Okanagan, I still have a soft spot for a slightly-blackened hotdog, done over a smoky campfire, with the sound of the waves lapping the shore nearby. Even if it’s near-freezing outside, as it is currently in the hills around Kelowna. At this time of year, gold and orange leaves drift down in showers from above, just like magic, and the cool fall sun illuminates the ones remaining on the trees, just like light bulbs were lit behind each. But at night, it’s cold. I’m glad

sumac, beige and tan grasses. And winter, with snowflakes drifting down like feathers, warm inside your sweaters and mitts, and the many variations on white, accentuated by cozy fires inside and the aromas of warm soups and stews. Spring is perhaps the most exciting time of year with its rebirth of green everywhere—even on the hillsides that are drab in summer’s heat—and an unpredictable combination of icy nights and warming days, buttercups and spring sunflowers, blazing on the hills; hardy bitterroot and chocolate lily hiding in the grasses. Summer’s heat is actually over the top, drying out all but the most hardy plants, but leaving fields of blue lupine studded with asters, drying grasses and spring plants, punctuated by delicate mariposa lilies and bold brown-eyed Susans. But this is the season for the most invigorating hikes, strenuous hunts, great birdwatching, fabulous photography, inspiring walks, superior cycling and the last fishing of the season until the ice forms on local lakes. So, get out there and enjoy it. Judie Steeves writes about outdoors issues for the Capital News

Public discomfort still persists with breastfeeding Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

When Sandy Sedgwick’s one-month-old baby was hungry, she sat down in a corner at her older son’s preschool, opened her shirt and fed him. “I had a receiving blanket, and wasn’t showing anything,” she said, recalling the morning nearly nine months earlier. “Nursing mothers know not much shows when you’re feeding, anyway.” Breastfeeding is quite

frankly old-hat to Sedgwick. The 39-year-old mother of four has had plenty of practice, and knows how to strike the right balance between necessity and discretion. Never in all her years as a mother had she heard a complaint or comment indicating that she was making anyone uncomfortable. So, she was shocked when an instructor at the Rutland Parent Participation preschool voiced discontent with the situation that morning.

“She grabbed the receiving blanket and handed it to me and said, ‘Can you please cover yourself up’,” Sedgwick said. “She wasn’t rude, but it was all very shocking to me. I got up and left the preschool in tears…she made me feel like what I was doing was wrong.” According to a representative of the school, the policy is to allow breastfeeding, with limitations. “We just ask that it’s done away from the children because we don’t know where the children are educationally re-

garding this aspect of parenting,” said the parent/ spokesperson. “We just want to make sure all our parents are OK with it.” Those behind the school believe they’re erring on the safe side, but Sedgwick says their viewpoint makes no sense. “They keep talking about it as though it’s something to do with sex education,” she said. “But it’s not.” In fact, the human rights commission says that it’s a violation to not allow a woman to breastfeed wherever and whenever she wants to. Sedgwick, however, started to doubt herself, and chose to start feeding her baby in another room

or even in her car for the rest of the school year. Eventually, she just decided to not return to the school and carry on as she had before the incident. “It still upsets me,” she said. “Women have come so far, all the work has been done for me by other women, before me.” In addition to the human rights commission’s efforts, medical experts have long-since acknowledged breastfeeding as the best thing a mother can do for her infant. But discomfort with the act still persists in some pockets of the community, says a UBC Okanagan student who’s been working to get businesses to be more accepting of nursing mothers.

“There needs to be an attitude change in some parts of the community,” said Rachel Bryce, a fourth-year nursing student. “There needs to be a breast feeding friendly atmosphere…where nobody will ask a mom to cover up or go away.” Unfortunately, she said, Sedgwick’s story “isn’t rare.” “Some people can be really abrupt and request that the mother leaves and cover up, but it’s her right as a breastfeeding mom that her baby nurse wherever and whenever they can,” she said. “It’s not a social norm, but we’re aiming to have it be more socially acceptable now.” In coming days, she and fellow students Mon-

OUTDOOR BURNING ALTERNATIVES ENCOURAGED Burning permits are available for eligible property owners in the Central Okanagan. Depending on the fire hazard, local fire chiefs may close the outdoor burning season before April 30th. While most people are not allowed to burn outdoors, everyone is encouraged to use other options available such as chipping, composting and the free year round dropoff of yard and garden waste at the Glenmore Landfill and Westside Residential Waste Disposal and Recycling Centre. Residents with curbside collection may also use their green-lid wheeled waste container to dispose of compostable yard waste through the bi-weekly program which ends for the season November 30th. Those eligible to burn (properties one hectare or larger) must have an approved permit from their local fire authority and must first call the new Outdoor Burning Hotline 1-855-262-BURN (2876) to determine whether burning is allowed. The Venting and Air Quality must be good before igniting any permitted fire. With the valley’s unique weather conditions and topography for optimum venting it’s recommended that approved burning take place in late morning or early afternoon. Property owners in the Central Okanagan East and Central Okanagan West Electoral Areas that are eligible to burn must obtain a permit from the Regional District by calling 250-469-6223, Monday to Friday (excluding holidays) from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. Collect calls are accepted and long distance charges do not apply to calls placed from cellular phones.

Attention Deficit Disorder symptoms can be prevalent in adults as well

t’s a disorder almost everyone associates with hyper kids who can’t sit still in a classroom, but for 90 per cent of kids with ADHD, symptoms continue to cause problems throughout adulthood. Although the name attention deficit disorder implies the condition is primarily a problem with paying attention, new research now suggests this is actually an executive function disorder with an unfortunate name. Characterized by problems with distractibility, self regulation, impulse control, time management, concentration and inhibition, ADHD causes many difficulties for the roughly one in 25 adults who live with it. Adults with ADHD have difficulty meeting their full potential in school or work settings, often have failed relationships, can be unreliable and have difficulty holding a job.

tal causes. Co-existing depression and anxiety are also quite common among those with ADHD and low self esteem can also be a problem due to lifelong negative feedback related to the condition. Of course, common myths that the disorder doesn’t exist or is the result of poor parenting, too much sugar, or somehow the person’s fault don’t help. As with most conditions affecting the brain, there is still much to learn about ADHD, what causes it and exactly what is happening within the brain. However research has advanced considerably in recent years. Neuroimaging studies have proven the condition does exist and affects certain areas of the brain associated with executive function. Among those with ADHD, these areas are generally three to 10 percent smaller than those

It gives me great pleasure to announce Marshall’s Home Furnishings has just signed a new lease at our current location in Banks Centre. It is hard to believe almost 5 years have passed since we opened our Broyhill Gallery! We are grateful for all the support we have had from our community. Today we not only carry Broyhill, which is synonymous with quality, but we also are exclusive dealers for manufacturers like Thomasville, Drexel Heritage, Lane, Lexington, Elite Leather, Stylus, Simmons and so many more well-known furniture brands. Along with the signing of our new lease has come a new vision of what we want our store to become in the future. We take pride in being able to serve the Interior with better quality home furnishings, while not losing sight of what is affordable for all people to purchase and enjoy. It is with anticipation that I announce we are going to have the BIGGEST sale in our company’s history. We will be undergoing a massive renovation to the store but before we undertake this project we must liquidate our complete lineup of home furnishings and home décor. Therefore, I have authorized the deepest discounts ever offered on our complete inventory.

Absolutely everything in the store and warehouse must be sold to allow us to move about safely during our renovations! So, if you haven’t been to visit us for a while, now is the time to come in, say hello, and take advantage of some great savings storewide. This sale is for a very limited time and as soon as everything is sold, our store will close for about three weeks so that we may facilitate the necessary renovations. All the staff at Marshall’s and myself welcome you to join us for this limited time event. Thank you for your support; we look forward to seeing you soon. Sincerely,

without the condition and they are also 10 to 25 percent less active than they should be. Several specific genes have also been linked with the condition and some experts believe genetic testing as part of diagnosis is not too far in the future. Along with the many difficulties associated with ADHD, those with the condition are often creative, energetic risk takers and can be quite successful if they find a career in an area suited to them. Several famous artists and athletes have recently come forward with ADHD including Michael Phelps and Canadian comedian Rick Green. Even for those who manage success in their careers, the condition still tends to create chaos in other areas of life. Some experts including Russell Barkley, author of Taking Charge of Adult ADHD, have come up with several indicators and adult symptoms they’d like to see included in the diagnostic manual for this condition. Some of these include poor performance at work, frequent job changes, risky sexual behaviour, unsafe driving, difficulty managing money, problems in relationships, antisocial activities and a less healthy lifestyle. Their hope is that if these indicators are included in the definition of ADHD, it would help adults experiencing the condition to get help when needed. As it stands, only seven per cent of the adults living with ADHD are being treated and there is no official adult ADHD service in Canada. If you are adult and you believe you might be experiencing ADHD, speak with your doctor about it and request referral to a specialist for an assessment. Treatment options are available and generally very effective. Paul Latimer is a psychiatrist and president of Okanagan Clinical Trials. 250-862-8141 dr@okanaganclinicaltrials.com

DON’T MISS IT!

Dealing with original KELOWNA NEW CAR heritage wood windows AUTO DEALERS ASSOCIATION

A workshop is planned for Saturday, Oct. 29, to help building owners understand the value of preserving and maintaining their original wood windows. A lament the Okanagan Heritage Society often hears is when owners of older properties are either considering upgrades to existing windows, or from those in the market to purchase older homes and buildings. Windows often help determine the character of a building. Since they are frequently altered, the approach to the conservation of windows is an important part of approaching building renovations. How can one balance the historic integrity, current functional requirements, aesthetics and energy efficiency of our windows? These are questions that heritage society staff often hear, when owners of heritage properties are looking for grants to help maintain their buildings through the City of Kelowna’s heritage grants program. In an effort to help property owners understand the value of their existing windows, along with practical help on how to maintain them, a workshop is being held with Jim Stiven, principal owner of Vintage Woodworks in Victoria. The workshop has been organized and supported by the Central Okanagan

Heritage Society, with financial assistance from Heritage B.C. Stiven is primarily a trades-person who has owned and operated his window restoration company for the past 31 years. His workshops style is very “handson” and those who attend will have ample opportunity to ask questions and see Stiven in action. The workshop will be of particular interest, to those who own buildings with wood windows, contractors, renovators, planners, architects, engineers, interior designers, building managers, inspectors, and local government staff. The technical component of the workshop will focus on wood window technology and design. Discussion about the challenges of balancing a window’s aesthetic and historic integrity, with its contemporary use and conservation options, will also form part of the workshop. The workshop will take place from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at the Reid Hall in Benvoulin Church, 2279 Benvoulin Rd. in Kelowna. For further information or to register ($35 for non-members and $20 for COHS members), please contact the Central Okanagan Heritage Society at 250-861-7188 or email at cohs@telus.

With my background, I have a particular interest and soft spot for family-run businesses, especially ones based in West Kelowna. So I was incredibly gratified when one of West Kelowna’s bestknown families—John, Maria and Mike Byland of Bylands Nurseries— won the RBC Grower of the Year Award. As the old saying goes, “it’s an honour just to be nominated.” To be considered, growers have to excel in five areas—environmental stewardship, innovative marketing, production efficiency, financial health, and human re-

NEWS MLA from A18 far from alone in recognizing Bylands’ remarkable success. February was a great month for Bylands, as they also won the B.C. Landscape and Nursery Association award. And Bylands had previously won plaudits from such organizations as the Canadian Association of Family Enterprise, the Kelowna Business Awards, and Westbank and District Business Excellence Awards. But the CNLA award was special—not just because it’s national, but because winners of the Grower of the Year Award also become eligible for the International Association of Horticultural Producers Grower of the Year Awards. On Sept. 27, in Xi’an, China, Bylands won the AIPH Grower of the Year Award. Bylands has come a long way in a comparatively short time. Founded in 1954, a year after Adrian Byland emigrated from Holland. Adrian and his wife Katie soon acquired 12 acres, and a modest 200-square foot shed. Today, Bylands has 400 acres and grows some 2,000 different varieties of flowers, plants, shrubs and trees—in total, more than three million plants every year. Those three million plants have attracted attention and awards from West Kelowna and now, the world at large. Make no mistake, the AIPH awards are prestigious; they are the highest honour a grower/landscaper can receive. The awards were treated a significant global event in Xi’an; so much so that John Byland re-

The fair takes place at the orchard museum, located in the Laurel Packinghouse, 1304 Ellis St., from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

marked he had “felt the subject of paparazzi” in China. From 12 acres and a modest shed to inter-

national awards and paparazzi, Bylands is a remarkable success story. One that everyone in

West Kelowna and the Okanagan can take pride in. But local successful companies like Bylands

are valuable for more than just local pride—because of its business success, Bylands has created over

300 good jobs. For the people who work there, that might be the best “award” of all.

Fall clean-up in the perennial garden

his month I am very grateful for each morning that I wake up to discover the predicted killing frost has not yet come.

NEWS Vibrant blooms and colours of fall are extra special when winter is almost here. Each year I become more reluctant to begin

fall clean-up before the plants are dead. In addition to the array of colour, I enjoy watching and listening to all the busy pollinating insects and the

ROAD SHOW UNCOVERS HUGE TREASURE IN KELOWNA

RETURNS TO KELOWNA THIS WEEK SATURDAY & SUNDAY OCT. 22 - 23 By Amy Luccianio - RoadShow Staff Writer

Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest appraiser and buyer of silver coins and gold estate jewelry has uncovered a massive collection of gold and silver during their current stop in Kelowna. The Canadian Treasures Road Show two day stop in Kelowna this week was nothing out of the ordinary with local folks coming into the show selling their silver and gold coins and unwanted or unused gold jewelry. People usually have a few hundred dollars coming to them from the sale of their items reports Road Show manager Amy Luccianio however we were in shock when a gentleman walked into the show with a dolly loaded with three card board boxes full of silver and gold coins. When we began to sort through the coins it became very obvious that this would take several hours as there was thousands and thousands of coins both Canadian and US. The huge collection was accumulated over fifty years by the now current owners grandfather. Kevin Scott who himself just recently retired shared his amassing story of how his grandfather found most of the coins while working at the municipal dump in Brandon Manitoba. Papa was the only employee at the dump for thirty three years and during that time he set up a small car washing and cleaning side business at the dump and it was free of charge in exchange for any pop bottles or beer bottles

the customers would donate. Papa also offered a free interior vacuum service with the car wash and he would always find a few coins in the ashtray or on the floor and 99 % of the time his customers would tell him to keep the coins. For thirty some years Papa would come home each day and put the few coins in a glass jar and over the years the collection turned into hundreds of jars of silver coins. I can clearly remember my grand father saying some day we will be rich, rich, rich when I sell my coins and then he would break into a big belly laugh that would rattle the dishes in grammas china cabinet. Papa never did cash in his coins however he spent many a night picking out what he thought would some day become rare or collector coins and would tell me some day this coin or that coin would be worth a fortune. My grand father passed on many years ago and left his collection to my sister and I. Now with us retiring we decided we would see what the collection would be worth so we brought them to the Canadian Treasures Road Show in Kelowna. A f t e r several h o u r s of going over the coins the

road show staff had in fact discovered twenty one US silver dollars that had the rare mint mark from the San Francisco Mint mint and these coins alone are worth eight hundred dollars apiece. They also uncovered one half ounce gold coin and seven Âź ounce gold coins. The gold coins we decided to keep and give to our grand children however as none of our children or grandchildren have an interest in coin collecting we decided to sell the baulk of Papas collection as they were worth many times their face value as the price of silver is at world record highs The total weight of the coins was 102 lbs and the Road Show staff offered us a fantastic price of...well lets just say Papa was right when he said some day we would be rich. It was sad to hand over Papas coins but we are sure he would get a huge belly laugh if he knew his silver coins earned us enough to pay for a big part of his great grand childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schooling. The Road Show is back in Kelowna, Holiday Inn Express - Conference Centre 2429 Highway 97 North, October 22 & 23.

multitude of seed eating songbirds who visit my garden while I do a thorough final weeding. Fall has been my preferred time to renovate the garden and divide or add plants because everything is mature so I am better able to space plants properly. However, this year I have not had the time. Instead I find myself taking many photos and trying to capture in notes what I want to change next spring. From experience, I know that once the perennials are cut back it may be hard to remember what grew too large. In my first garden, almost 40 years ago, I followed advice of gardening experts of that era, cutting everything to the ground before winter. My approach has evolved dramatically. Now I am aware of the beauty of the structure of many plants such as ornamental grasses, yarrows, Echinacea, Rudbeckia, and Sedum â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Autumn Joy.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I wait until spring to cut them back.

GARDENING WITH NATURE

Gwen Steele Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned that many beneficial insects are overwintering on my plants. Cutting them back now and composting them will kill the population I have worked hard to encourage. Aside from the beauty of hoar frost and snow on the plants, my greatest joy is watching all the birds who come in winter to feed on the seed heads Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve left standing. My fall clean-up begins with cutting to the ground all the plants that are flattened by frost such as Hostas and daylilies. I leave perennials such as Heucheras (coral bells) and Armeria (thrift), whose foliage is evergreen, just trimming off the dead flower stems. See SteeleA21

Author to showcase book on modern pioneer women Okanagan author Claire Festel will launch her debut book, Remarkable Yukon Women, with a book signing at Mosaic Books on Thursday, Oct. 27, from 1 to 4 p.m. The book features compelling profiles written by Festel accompanied by portraits of 50 Yukon women as portrayed by artist Val Hodgson. While the subjects of the book have diverse backgrounds and include businesswomen, community leaders, homemakers, writers, athletes, mothers, teachers, a senator and a gold miner, all embody the spirit of ‘The North.’ Together, their intimate portraits and stories shape a larger image of women’s challenges and accomplishments. Remarkable Yukon Women started over dinner at a mutual friend’s house. Hodgson, who had lived in Whitehorse for thirty-five years, had begun painting an ambitious body of work that would celebrate Yukon women. Festel, a writer and consultant who had lived over thirty years in the Yu-

kon, had a lifelong ambition to capture, through real life experiences, the allure the North holds— for the timid to the independent and resourceful modern “pioneer.” It seemed only natural for the two of them to collaborate on a project that would eventually encompass both an art exhibit and a book. Festel spent hours conducting interviews and months more editing and perfecting the profiles which provide an intriguing window into the lives and personalities of these fifty women. Their previously untold stories provide understanding into how and why this remote frontier adds not just colour, but depth, sensitivity and strength to the Canadian story. One of the “remarkable women” featured in the book, Rusty Reid, will be attending and taking part in the book launch with Festel. Reid, who has been playing the fiddle for over seven decades, was one of the founding members of the Northernairs Dance

Band, which continued for 56 years.

The book launch, made possible with a grant

from the Canada Council for the Arts, takes place at

Mosaic Books, 411 Bernard Ave., in downtown

Many insects benefit from overwinter plants Steele from A20 The foliage of some plants such as Shasta daisies, and Gaillardia (blanket flower) will stay green through winter but need a trim in spring. I leave this foliage to help protect the plants. Woody plants such as Russian sage, and summer blooming Clematis will need to be cut back in spring, but I leave them for now so they are more winter hardy. When I am done with clean-up, I spread out the plant debris and borrow my neighbour’s electric lawn mower to shred it. This gets raked up and put back onto the garden as mulch or layered into my compost pile. For extensive information on how to get the best performance from your perennials, I recommend reading The Well Tended Perennial Garden by Tracy di Sabato-Oust.

Northwestern Air to offer connecting flights to Red Deer Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Commuting between Central Alberta and the Okanagan is about to become easier. Kelowna International Airport has announced Northwestern Air Lease Ltd. will begin non-stop service twice a week between Kelowna and Red Deer Airport, starting Nov. 18. “We are happy to welcome Northwestern Air back to YLW and provide a new non-stop service between Red Deer and YLW,” said airport director Sam Samaddar. “There are numerous business connections between our two regions, as well as many visiting family and friends who will

benefit from this direct link.” Gordon Bush, general manager of Northwestern Air, said providing service between the Okanagan and Central Alberta makes great business sense for the growth of his airline “As demand grows we hope to add more frequency to the schedule to further serve the two regions. Northwestern Air will fly a 19-seat passenger turbo-prop plane between Kelowna and Red Deer each way, once a day, on Fridays and Sundays. The new service out of Kelowna will be added to the 62 daily nonstop commercial flights currently provided by Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, Central Mountain

Air, Northwestern Air and WestJet to Vancouver, Victoria, Prince George,

Edmonton, Calgary, Red Deer, Toronto and Seattle, including seasonal service

background and a nagging sense of guilt every time I buy a coffee instead of putting money into my savings account, I can’t help but wonder if it is humanly possible to graduate from university without masses of debt. Whether you are just starting high school or about to leave it, finding a means to pay for post-secondary education is an issue that just won’t leave you alone.

CONNECTING WITH YOUTH

Amber Krogel For years my eagerness for university has been eclipsed by the worry that every waking hour will be spent buried in notes and textbooks, and

when I’m not studying, I’ll be working so that I can pay for those books. After awhile I will probably be lost in a whirlwind of dollar signs and due dates, to the point where all my hours will be waking hours, and I will trudge throughout my day in a zombie-like state, deprived of sleep and barely scraping up enough money for the classes that keep me up all night.

Maybe I can just find a career at a fast food restaurant. Or maybe, paying for university without completely losing my sanity isn’t as unfathomable as my imagination is making it out to be. First of all, there are scholarships. You don’t have to be the kid who cries when they receive less than See Krogel A27

There are scholarships for being left-handed, possessing the unique ability of duck calling, or making your grad outfit out of duct tape. If you can get money for things as obscure as these, chances are you’ll be able to find scholarships that are applicable to you. They may require you to put in some time

▼ SFU MEN’S SOCCER

Inspired injury recovery for RSS graduate Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

In the grand scheme of things, Kelowna soccer player Carson Gill wasn’t going to be playing university soccer this year. Now in his fifth year in the NCAA, Gill’s eligibility was supposed to be finished by now. But that was before injury sidelined the 22-yearold Gill for more than a year as the Rutland Senior Scondary graduate sat out all of last season with a groin injury that would ultimately require surgery. A medical red-shirt granted by the NCAA has allowed Gill to play this year, and a return to health has Gill back on the soccer pitch and back to 100 per cent as one of the captains on the SFU men’s soccer team, currently the top ranked team in NCAA Div II men’s soccer. “It’s been nice to be back and healthy this year,” said Gill. “It’s been a good team so far. We’re strong. Our depth is what is carrying us through. There is competition within every spot on the team and it’s been a lot of fun.” The SFU men sit at 12-0 so far this season. According to SFU, the team’s number one ranking makes it the first Canadian team to hold a national number one ranking in the NCAA in any sport. And along with Gill, there is a serious Kelowna connection helping to make that happen. Former Okanagan Challenge coach Alan

RON HOLE/CONTRIBUTED

FORMER OKANAGAN Challenge coach Alan Koch has built SFU into a top contender in the NCAA during his four year tenure with the university squad. Koch is in his fourth season as head coach for the SFU men’s soccer team. He says reaching that number one ranking in the nation has been a work in progress. “I think we’ve been building to get to this stage,” said Koch. “One of the big things is we have an immense amount of depth in all positions. With recruiting we want players with a winning mentality and that is showing in every close game. These guys will do what it takes to get the victory.” And a lot of that starts with Gill, the fifth year captain from Kelowna, who will graduate with a bachelor’s degree in biology this year.

RON HOLE/CONTRIBUTED

SFU PLAYER and Rutland Senior Secondary graduate Carson Gill (right) extends for a ball during action this year with Simon Fraser, the top ranked NCAA Div. II team Joel Malouf He wanted to rebound from a tough groin injury to come back and close out his SFU soccer experience on a winning note. “Carson’s discipline in recovering from that injury was phenomenal,” said Koch. “It was indicative of his persona. He’s a cham-

pion, he’s a leader and he’s a fantastic young man.” Because SFU remains a transitional school as it makes its way into the NCAA, the men’s soccer team will not be able to attend the national championship tournament. Instead, the team has focussed its sights on winning everything else, from

the league to games in Hawaii and eventually to what is called the provisional tournament. “We don’t get to go to nationals so we’re playing for the rankings, we’re trying to win our conference and finding things to play for along the way,” said Gill, who spent his first year of college with Koch at Baker University

in Kansas before transferring to SFU. Gill isn’t the only Kelowna player on the SFU squad. This year, Joel Malouf is red-shirted and practicing with the SFU team with the hopes of joining the club full time next year. “Joel has been a forward though youth soccer but we’re busy converting

him to a central defender,” said Koch. “He’s busy learning the tricks of the trade and hopefully we can have him in our lineup full time next season.” As for Gill, he will wrap up his university career this season before he moves on to what he hopes is medical school in the coming years. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Prospect pair earn invites to play for Western Canada Under-16 squads A pair of Kelowna Rockets prospects will play in the 2011 Western Canada Under 16 Challenge Cup to be held in Moose Jaw Oct. 27 to 30. Rourke Chartier, the Rockets first round selection in this summer’s Western Hockey League bantam draft, will suit up for Team Saskatchewan while Rockets list player Tyler Povelofskie will skate with Team B.C. at the event which features teams from B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Chartier, from Saskatoon, is curently playing with the Saskatoon Contacts of the Saskatchewan midget AAA league and has three goals and one assist in the team’s first seven games. Povelofskie, a Williams Lake native, is a member of Team B.C. and currently plays for the Cariboo Cougars of the

BCMML, where he has compiled three goals and an assist in the Cougars’ first six games. The Western Canada Under 16 Challenge Cup will be held at Mosaic Place in Moose Jaw, SK, Oct. 27 to 30, and will feature the highest rated players in the Under 16 age category representing the four western provinces of Alberta, B.C., Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The four-team roundrobin tournament format will assist the four Western Provincial Hockey Associations in evaluating these top prospects for future Program of Excellence competitions. Each provincial team was selected by a committee within each of the four Western Provincial Hockey Associations following evaluation camps held throughout this past summer and consist of 20 players—two goalies, six

defenceman and 12 forwards. Of the 80 players selected to compete in the Western Canada U16 Challenge Cup, 69 are top WHL prospects selected in the 2011 WHL Bantam draft. The first ever Western Canada U16 Challenge Cup was held in Blackfalds, Alta., in 2009 and was highly successful due largely to the support of the local community and Hockey Alberta. Of the 80 players who competed in the event in 2009, 50 are now playing in the WHL. Among that group who are highly rated prospects for the 2012 NHL draft are: Matt Dumba (Red Deer Rebels), Hunter Shinkaruk (Medicine Hat Tigers), Derek Pouliot (Portland Winterhawks), Griffin Reinhart (Edmonton Oil Kings) and Morgan Reilly (Moose Jaw

Warriors). These same five players recently helped Canada’s National Under 18 team to a Gold Medal at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament held this past summer.

SPORTS ▼ FIGURE SKATING COMPETITION

Kelowna club skaters win 9 gold medals Local figure skaters look to build on strong performances for the upcoming sectional championships hosted here Nov. 10 to 13. The BMO Kelowna Centre for Skating Excellence sent a large contingent of 46 skaters to Kamloops to compete at the BC/ YT Section Super Series Autumn Leaves Freeskate competition last weekend. Strong performances through all levels of competition resulted in nine gold medal wins as well

as the most overall medal wins of any skating club. A highlight for the Kelowna skaters was a sweep of the podium in the pre-novice women’s event as Julianne Delaurier, Priscilla Sabang and Monika Randall took home gold, silver and bronze medals respectively in a strong field of 37 skaters. A sweep of even greater proportions occurred in the highly competitive novice women’s event, which featured several of B.C.’s top skaters in the category. Kelowna skaters swept the top five placings in the field of 18 skaters. Haley Sales, 14, led the Kelowna contingent with a person-

al best score of 106.79 points in taking the gold, while Jayda Jurome and Cailey England won silver and bronze. In junior women, Kelowna’s Kelsey Wiebe placed first with a total score of 101.65, while Desiree Schaefer won the free program segment to finish in second place with 96.2 points. Cambria Little, 18, successfully landed five triple jumps through her two programs to win the senior women’s event with a personal best score of 120.31, while club mate Morgan Jmaiff took silver. Also winning gold medals were Rachel Hiob, Abbey Reiter, Diane Nguyen, Alexis Garost,

and Carter Hiob in their respective divisions. “Overall, it was a great weekend for our club at all levels,” said Kelowna Skating Excellence Centre director Jason Mongrain. “The results were obviously very strong, but there is still some work to do leading into sectionals next month. “There are some very strong skaters from the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island that didn’t participate this weekend.” The next stop for Kelowna skaters is the B.C. and Yukon Sectional Championships, which will be hosted by the Kelowna Skating Club at the Capital News Centre from Nov. 10 to 13.

Model sees her future in acting Barry Gerding EDITOR

Having the opportunity to work with director Martin Scorsese is what a Kelowna model hopes might be her break to developing an acting career. Ingrid Schram worked with Scorsese on a fragrance commercial, working alongside French actor Gaspard Ulliel. “It was an incredible experience and a dream come true. I worked with a crew that had been working together since Goodfellas and it was truly amazing to see that these creations are truly a family affair,” Schram said in an email in-

terviews with the Capital News. “Thelma Shoonmaker who edited the commercial, has many Oscars and has worked with Scorsese since the beginning. And the director of photography, Stuart Dryburgh, came from such beautiful films as Jane Campion’s The Piano. It was such an honour. I learned so much from being on set with such talented individuals. Schram has found success in the modeling world, and she is now trying to translate that into an acting career. Schram says she started modeling after graduating from Okanagan Mission Secondary.

She had grown up in the Mission area and had been active in the local theatre community. “I knew I wanted to work within the creative arts from a very young age, but had no idea I would be spending these years after finishing high school and into my early 20s as a fashion model,” she recalled. The modeling opportunity opened up to Schram while she was working at the Marmalade Cat Cafe in the South Pandosy commercial district when she was 17. “A friend of mine called to pick me up from work and had told me about a talent convention

That upbringing came from her parents, her father being a doctor in Kelowna and her mother working in the education field. “My parents immigrated to Canada from Africa before I was born. My mom is from Zimbabwe and my dad is from South Africa. I have three brothers also that live in Kelowna.” Schram has studied at Stella Adler Studio of Acting while she lived in New York exclusively for six years above a 10-year-old Italian restaurant in the East Village part of Manhattan. She is now splitting her time between New York and Los Angeles. Schram admits luck has a lot to do with building an acting career, but you also need to have talent and perseverance. “There is an art to auditioning and if you come off as green you are not called back,” she said.

TRAVEL Rockies and roll Former Alberta coal town emerges as a breathtaking golf destination Ron Cobb CONTRIBUTOR

CANMORE, Alberta, Canada _ What once was a mining town is now a golf destination, thanks in large part to the Olympic Games. Coal mining was the industry that sustained Canmore for nearly 100 years. When the last mines closed in 1979, the town faced an uncertain, if not bleak, future. But with the announcement in the early 1980s that Calgary would host the Winter Games of 1988 and that the nordic events would take place in Canmore, fortune began to turn. Canmore, situated in the Canadian Rockies 66 miles west of Calgary, rode the momentum gained from its profile during the Olympics to launch a new destiny in tourism and, more specifically, golf. Canmore and the surrounding area boast a handful of exceptional golf courses amid some of the most breathtaking scenery a golfer can imagine. Canmore Golf and

Curling Club, opened in 1926, is the original. In 1983 came two more courses in what is known as Kananaskis Country, a recreational area 40 minutes south of Canmore. The two newer courses are Silvertip (1998) and Stewart Creek (2000), and their arrival made Canmore a legitimate golf destination. They complement two of the province of Alberta’s (and Canada’s) most historic and treasured courses _ Banff Springs and Jasper Park Lodge. The tourist mecca and ski destination of Banff is a neighbor of Canmore, just 17 miles to the northwest, while Jasper Park Lodge is a trek away, 194 miles up the scenic Icefields Parkway. In 2007, these seven golf courses formed a marketing partnership, Canadian Rockies Golf, to offer golfers one-stop shopping in organizing their trips, from golf packages to lodging and transportation. While Jasper Park Lodge and Banff Springs are high-end courses, canadianrockiesgolf.ca will help tailor trips to golfers’ budgets. Canmore sits outside the southern gateway to Banff National Park. Entering the park between Canmore and Banff, a visitor can drive 180 miles up the Trans Canada High-

THE SILVERTIP RESORT in Canmore, Alberta, offers “golf on the roof of the world.” The golf course’s first hole provides a preview of the scenery to come. way and then the Icefields Parkway to Jasper without ever leaving a national park. A must-see stop 25 miles northwest of Banff is picturesque Lake Louise and the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, which stands imposingly on the lake’s shore. Visitors leave Banff National Park at the Columbia Icefield, a spectacular series of glaciers that are visible from pulloffs along the highway. While one might not think of playing golf in a national park, such is

the reality in this part of western Canada. Besides lying within their respective national parks, the Banff Springs and Jasper Park Lodge courses can lay claim to a long list of awards (Jasper Park Lodge is considered Canada’s finest resort course) and famous clientele, from celebrities to British royalty. Jasper Park Lodge hosted King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1939 and Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip in 2005. The towns of Jas-

per and Banff both were founded by railroads late in the 19th century as they laid rail across the expanse of Canada. To their credit, the railroads recognized

the beauty of the region and led the effort to have it preserved as national parks. Banff National Park was established in 1885, followed by Jasper National Park in 1907. Competition between the railroads extended all the way to golf. In the 1920s, world-renowned golf course architect Donald Ross was enlisted to redesign the course in Banff and expand it to 18 holes. In Jasper, meanwhile, Stanley Thompson got the job of creating the course at Jasper Park Lodge. While not well-known in

So envious was Banff that it hired Thompson to redo Ross’ work and spare no expense. Banff Springs opened in 1928 and became known as the most expensive course ever built up to that point, at

Golfing at the ‘top of the world’ Rockies from A40 more than $1 million. More than 80 years later, both golf resorts are Thompson designs that have withstood the test of time, and neither is showing its age. Possibly because the hockey slap shot adapts effectively to the golf swing, Canadians tend to be crazy about golf. In general, the courses in Alberta are open only from midMay through mid-October, but Canada’s summer days are as long as its winter days are short, allowing golf to be played from as early as 5 a.m. to as late as 11 p.m. near the summer solstice. Weather, however, can be dicey, with snow possible any day of the year. Ontario native Scott Holland, the teaching professional at Silvertip Golf Resort in Canmore, recalls his introduction to mountain weather on an August day in the early 1980s after he’d moved to Banff. “There was six inches of snow on the ground when I woke up,” he said,

“and the high that day was 85.” While Alberta weather in the summer of 2011 produced more rain than usual, it nevertheless provided a great measure of relief for Americans seeking to escape the searing

GETTING THERE: The nearest major airport is Calgary, 80 miles east of Banff. Calgary’s big summer event is the 10day Calgary Stampede in July; it will celebrate its

centennial in 2012. ACCOMMODATIONS: Options run from campgrounds, hostels, budget hotels and condos to the luxury Fairmont hotels in Banff and Lake Louise, plus the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. The Fairmont Banff Springs, known as “the castle in the Rockies,” dates to 1888 and commands a regal presence on a hillside above the shops along Banff’s main street. If offers both fine dining and upscale shopping. In Kananaskis Village, 37 miles south of Canmore, the Delta Lodge was the site of the 2002 G8 Summit and contains its own shopping village. THINGS TO DO: The Canadian Rockies are hardly just a golf destination. Other activities include hiking, biking, fishing, white-water rafting, canoeing, horseback riding and wildlife watching (sightings of bear, elk, deer and coyotes are common). Shopping is popular in the towns of Canmore, Banff and Jasper, and particularly so at the Fairmont Banff Springs

and Jasper Park Lodge. In Jasper, visitors can take a tram up the Whistlers mountain, beginning at 4,279 feet and arriving at a station at 7,472 feet. At the small station, which includes a restaurant and gift shop, guests may opt to admire the views or hike a trail nearly a mile to the summit (jaspertramway.com). In Canmore, Alpine Helicopter Tours offers sweeping views of the area’s mountains and valleys. WHAT TO WEAR: Summer visitors should be prepared for both warm and chilly weather. ELEVATIONS: Canmore, 4,300 feet; Banff, 4,800; Jasper, 3,484. PARK RATES: A pass ranging from $4.90 (youth) to $19.60 (family/ group of seven or more) must be purchased at the entrance to the national parks. It is good at all the parks and allows visitors to leave and re-enter for the duration of the pass.

on the outer curl of Cape Cod, 70 miles or so into the Atlantic Ocean, where tall marsh greens in autumn turn the color of butterscotch, all roads lead to oysters. Bumper stickers remind you of the oyster fishermen who drive alongside you down U.S. Highway 6. Oysters are painted on the sides of residential homes. Oysters dominate every menu and suck at your heels on the beach.

Heading north down the long neck of the Cape, toward Provincetown, you can make two turns at Wellfleet. Turn right, you hit bluffs, set high against the ocean; here, 100 years ago, Guglielmo Marconi built one of the first radio stations, Theodore Roosevelt sent the first transAtlantic radio message (to King Edward VII), and one of the first distress signals from the Titanic was intercepted.

WELLFLEET HARBOR sits at the tail end of Cape Cod in Massachusetts.

though, are the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy, its name a standard chalkboard scribble in upscale restaurants across the globe. So turn left and drive toward the harbor. There are several ways to eat oysters in Wellfleet. The first is at one of the many restaurants shucking them morning and night. The second is the just-concluded Wellfleet Oyster Festival, a bivalve overload that reminds you why the pilgrims who landed here 400 years ago referred to this place as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Billingsgate,â&#x20AC;? after Lon-

donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great seafood market. Which brings us to the third way to eat oysters here: Pluck them from the mud. You have not eaten an oyster until you have eaten an oyster pulled from a tidal pool, its shell releasing a satisfyingly wet pop. But to do this, you need to get a permit ($75 for out-of-towners, at the village shellfishing office), fish on a Sunday or a Thursday (the only days open to nonresidents) and wear shoes with thick soles. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do

it the way my girlfriend and I recently did. We had the right shoes, but not the permit or day. You can look, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d better not touch. Though how could you not? The moment the tide pulls out, a field of shells is unveiled, standing at attention and clumped together. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like grapes at the supermarket. We clomped out into the shallow water of Indian Neck Beach, the old shells of past harvests See Oyster A43

TRAVEL ▼ U.S.

Wellfleet is a fishing town Oyster from A42 crunching beneath our feet. We pocketed a few and headed for the B&B, then—and here is the wrong way to eat an oyster—cracked them open with a wrench we found. We looked like cavemen beating back a reptile. We had nothing better and were too ashamed of our theft, petty as it was, to ask the owners of Aunt Sukie’s Bed & Breakfast for a blunt, rounded clam knife. Incidentally, there is no Sukie. Just a retired couple named Sue and Dan Hamar, whose idyllic, t181-year-old home is a magazine-pretty, weather-beaten example of traditional New England living (accented with a large, 18-year-old addition). It overlooks Wellfleet Harbor, and in lieu of backyard offers something betrter: A wooden plank that runs across marsh and stream, over the tops of crabs in the crevices, leading to beach, across from Indian Neck. We stayed here before Labor Day, just after Hurricane Irene (downgraded to a tropical storm) sat lazily atop the Northeast like the last guest on your couch at a party. At sunrise, the tide pulled out and the beach behind Aunt Sukie magically went from several feet wide to several dozen feet; pickup trucks and fishermen promptly pushed in, leaving thick, deep tracks through the mud. The storm had tossed their clams around, tearing them out of their beds _ which are often helped along by contraptions resembling bed frames. The oysters cling to these, have sex, then multiply. Fishermen set about raking together what the hurricane left. We set about eating them at various local stops. First, there was Bookstore & Restaurant, a used-book store attached to a 48-year-old restaurant whose owners maintain their own oyster beds (directly across the street from the dining room). Their cocktail sauce was the finest we had and a rarity, spicy without killing the clam; their oyster po’ boy, however, was a losing proposition _ tasty,

but a reminder that oysters this fresh shouldn’t be fried. At Mac’s Seafood, right on the beach, across from fishing boats still unloading their afternoon catch, we ate a dozen oysters from a paper plate, the liquor on the clams (which is what you call the seawater pooling on top) running over our chins. The trouble with eating oysters in the cradle of oysters, however, is you lose perspective. Merely spectacular clams no longer impress, so here’s what I suggest: Hit The Wicked Oyster, early, and plead, as

we did, for shucked oysters before noon, when the catch smells of the Atlantic. Our waitress hesitated. Then she brought out a plate rich with brine. These clams were sweet, meaty, so unlike the gummy taste people associate with even great oysters that, tired as this sounds, I felt as though I never had an oyster before. “Please,” she said, “don’t tell anyone. We don’t like to do this so early.” We nodded, agreed, we’d never tell anyone. Though to keep it a secret would be a crime.

Most snorers also have sleep apnea which causes being tired all day, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (Government website). Huge epidemic affecting 65 million in North America. To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH � Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS � For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS �It is such a joy not having to #23 use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. � Lost my husband because of sleep apnea in 2011. I had sleep apnea, too.

MOTORING ▼ TOYOTA

FJ Cruiser still makes a bold statement among the off-roaders Neil Moore CONTRIBUTOR

Designing an automobile is risky business. Play it too safe, and you’re in danger of being outshone by the competition. Go bold and you may create another Pontiac Aztek or Trans Sport, or perhaps a first-generation Tribeca. Then there are those designs, like the PT Cruiser and New Beetle, that were novel at the time, even head-turning when they debuted, but now just looked tired. I don’t believe that Toyota’s FJ Cruiser, modeled after the classic FJ40 from the 1960’s, has suffered either fate. I liked its Tonka Truck styling when it was revealed in 2003 (and then launched in 2007), and still enjoy it today. The current FJ continues with the same styling: beefy tires on 17-inch alloys pushed to the corners, large wheel openings, wide track and 79inch height with roof racks. Coming or going,

the FJ cuts an imposing Hummeresque figure. Fans of the old FJ40 will appreciate the heritage cues, such as the white roof and round headlamps that are tied into the front grille. Wrap-around rear windows are another signature FJ element, and while you’d think they would enhance rear visibility, the huge side pillars they tie into prove otherwise. Thankfully, the FJ comes with big-rig side mirrors that stick out like Dumbo’s ears, and help with the massive blind spot. And like the original FJ, which was a legendary off roader that still commands a high price, today’s vehicle is as good a rock crawler as you’re likely to find. There’s loads of ground clearance (245 mm or 9.6 inches), along with 34-degree approach and 31-degree departure angles. It can even ford 27.5 inches of water. All the better for extreme terrain, and to protect the FJ’s underbelly

there are protector plates for the engine, fuel tank and transfer case. The powertrain was upgraded last year with dual variable valve timing with intelligence (along with other improvements) giving it a 21 hp boost over previous models. It is also more fuel efficient. Today’s 4.0-litre V6 delivers 260 hp and 271 lb/ft of torque, plenty of grunt to haul its 1,967 kg (4,336 lb) curb weight up steep inclines, not to mention launching it with authority. This engine is either mated to a five-speed automatic transmission (with part-time 4WD) or six-speed manual (with full-time 4WD). A double-wishbone in front, and solid axle in rear with four-link configuration are fitted with stabilizer bars, gas shocks and coil springs. Bolted to a rigid ladder frame, this long-travel suspension delivers a surprisingly quiet and forgiving ride, yet is sure-footed on the trail. Inside, the FJ wears a look that pays tribute to

CONTRIBUTED

THE 2011 FJ Cruiser includes signature elements from the past, such as its white roof, wrap-around rear windows and round headlamps that are tied into the front grille. its off-road ability. Most noticeable are the bodycoloured door inserts and console faceplate that houses big rectangular buttons, along with beefy HVAC knobs that can be operated while wearing winter gloves.

My tester, a 2011 model, was equipped with the five-speed automatic ($33,725), and also came with the Adventure Package ($5,995) that includes a cool dash-mounted Accessory Meter Cluster that features a floating

ball-type compass, inclinometer and temperature gauge. The 2012 model is a carryover, and the Adventure group has been replaced by the Urban Package, which for $5,020 provides keyless entry,

MORTORING ▼ TOYOTA

Plenty of room for driver and passenger in the FJ Cruiser Toyota from B1 wheel, rear privacy glass, cargo mat and the previously mentioned multi info display. Last year’s roof rack and Bilstein shocks have been dropped, but backup sensors added, which are nice when you’re doing most of your time in the urban jungle. Besides, if you want the rack and Bilsteins, there’s an off-road package that includes this equipment and more. All FJ Cruisers get water repellent seat fabrics with a rubber floor and allweather floor mats a sensible combination whether you’re transporting a couple of mud-covered mountain bikers or your ice cream covered kids. Front seats offer plenty of butt and shoulder room, and the seatbacks have been carved out to enhance knee room in the rear, which is tight for lanky passengers. There’s also decent

head room, but the upright windshield provides a relatively narrow band of glass, making it difficult to spot traffic signals from up close. The cargo floor is made of a tough, moulded plastic, as are the backs of the rear 60/40 split folding seats, giving you an easyto-clean and damage-resistant surface for mucky boots and cargo. Door panels are also a rugged plastic. Just about everything below the window line is a dark colour to help hide the dirt you haven’t yet wiped or hosed off. Overall, the cabin appears utilitarian but not unattractive. I’d call it contractor chic. And despite the vehicle’s robust demeanour, it is a comfortable environment for both driver and passengers. The interior is also relatively free from road noise, squeaks and rattles. Even wind noise is minimal, which is unexpected due to the FJ’s boxy styl-

ing. Sure, there’s a fair bit of exhaust noise, but that adds to its off-road cred. Save the silky exhaust note for crossovers and city-slicker SUVs. New for 2012, the base six-speed manual model has returned. From $32,725, you get a good, basic bushbasher that includes a fulltime 4WD with centre differential lock, rear differential lock and two-speed transfer case, along with vehicle stability control (VSC) and active traction control (ATRAC). The automatic gets an automatic disconnecting differential and two-speed transfer case. VSC and ATRAC, along with rear diff lock are also standard. The FJ has one oddity, the rear suicide doors. But these open nearly 90 degrees to give good access to the relatively tight quarters in back. And the rear two-part hatch (with flip-up glass) makes it easy to load and

unload small or long objects. Of course, comparisons will naturally be drawn between the FJ and the highly-capable Jeep Wrangler. The four-door model (the Unlimited), does begin at a lower MSRP, but I will confess that everyday road manners give the FJ an advantage, at least over the 2011 Wrangler. I’ll reserve further judgement until Iπve road tested the 2012. And like the Wrangler, the FJ Cruiser does rise boldly in a sea of bland sport utilities, perhaps even more so, as there are fewer on the road. It may not be the most cushy vehicle in this segment, but the FJ Cruiser is definitely a standout, and is surprisingly practical for a purpose-built off roader. And by extension, certainly worth a look if you’re shopping for this kind of vehicle.

INSTRUMENTS and controls are well laid out, easy to read and operate. The HVAC system’s large rotary knobs can be turned with a gloved hand, and the body-coloured console faceplate is a nice touch.

Audi lets engineering do the talking with its new A5/S5 Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR

CONTRIBUTED

THE AUDI A5/S5 COUPE and Cabriolet (S5 model shown) are slightly changed on the exterior but there are major differences under the skin. I need to save 50%-90% off local goods & services NOW!

Help me BCDailyDeals.com!

JEREZ, Spain— Amazing! Here it is the fall of 2011 and I’m driving the 2013 version of the Audi A5/S5 Coupe and Cabriolet. Time waits for no one especially in the auto industry. While the models tested were European spec, Audi is not shy when it comes to letting the engineering do the talking. In fact, the press briefing for Canadians at the launch in Spain was lightening quick with a simple overview and then we

were let at it. The A5 and S7 versions for Canada will arrive in the middle of next year as 2013 models, but after that, what versions of the A5/S5 Coupe and Convertible we get could vary mightily from the cars driven in Spain. When the A5/S5 Coupe and Cabriolet bowed four years ago, the A5 came with a 3.2-litre V6 (265 hp. 243 lb/ft) and the S5 had the big 4.2-litre V8 (354 hp, 325 lb/ft). Audi has been on a campaign to lessen weight as part of its —every gram counts—engineering strategy. This is partly done

in the A5/S5 with small, lighter engines with produce the same power but with reduced fuel consumption. The A5 now gets a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine producing 211 hp and 258 lb/ft of torque. The S5 will arrive with a supercharged 3.0-litre V6 with 333 hp and 358 lb/ft of torque. The only holdover is the RS5 that retains the V8 now with 450 hp. There are a number of diesels we won’t get and a fascinating 1.8-litre direct injection turbo four-cylinder we probably won’t see until the next generation A4 or maybe even the A3.

MORTORING ▼ AUDI

New A5 and S5 models impress Audi from B3 Coupe with seven-speed S-tronic and quattro goes from 0-100 km in 6.5 seconds. In the 333 hp S5 Coupe acceleration time is from 0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds, a 0.2-second improvement over its V8powered predecessor. Fuel consumption numbers are vague at this point but look for approximately 9.5/6.5L/100 km city/highway from the 2.0-litre and 12.9/8.1L/100 km city/highway for the 3.0-litre. Both models will be equipped with the latest version of Audiπs famed quattro all-wheel-drive with a front/rear torque basis of 40:60 per cent. Part of the S5 drivetrain is Audiπs crown gear and sport rear differential. It measures the torque going to the front and back wheels and then makes sure traction is applied where it can best be used. At this writing inclusion of the system on the Canadian A5s had yet to be decided. Audiπs quattro allwheel-drive is so good you dont even know you have it. That sounds strange but itπs true. With a front or reardriver, when you punch the pedal you feel which end has the grip right way. Do that in an Audi and the car digs in and goes without any fuss. That’s because the system is constantly moving torque around so effectively it is transparent to the driver. The roads in Spain are skinny and dangerous and when it comes to road etiquette, the locals just donπt care. You can be on a long straight at 100 km/h and suddenly come to a 20 km/h double switchback without signage and be faced with some ancient sedan trying to cut the corner to save whatever is left on the brake pads. Here, believe me, quattro proves its worth. Several of the safety systems first seen on the A7 have found their way into the A5/S5 such as lane departure warning system, adaptive cruise control and a driver fatigue sensing system that alerts the driver to pull over and take a rest. Current A5/S5 owners

will be pleased to know styling is pretty much the same with edges hardened that, I was told, improves the aerodynamics and thus uses marginally less fuel. It’s hard with the space I have to get into the build quality and technology in this car but I’ll start with the passenger area of the S5 Cabrio. It begins with full Nappa leather throughout and front sport seats that you can tell were designed to grip the driver and front passenger during highspeed driving and handling. The Cabrio I drove came with Audi Drive Select adaptive dynamics system, which in its current form allows the driver to fine-tune the amount of power steering assistance, the response of the throttle and the automatic transmissionπs shift points. The latest version of the system adds a fourth Efficiency option to its settings list, which originally offered Comfort, Auto and Dynamic modes. In the Efficiency mode, all the above functions, plus the air conditioning unit, are configured for minimal power consumption. The controls for the optional MMI Navigation Plus with its large hard drive, seven-inch colour monitor, 3D graphics and DVD player have also been improved. The number of hard buttons has been reduced from eight to four and the volume control now features a joystick cap for simpler track selection. Voice control and digital radio reception also received some fine-tuning. In Europe they have a navigation system that uses real-time Google map displays. If you are driving along and see a building or river on the monitor, you can look out and there it is. Whether we will get this is probably not going to happen as I was told the internet in North America is not fast enough to cope. At this point pricing is still very much up on the air but the current price walk from the A5 Coupe to the S5 Cabrio is $46,700/$60,500 and should remain fairly close for the 2013 model as Audi has pretty rigid model-pricing scale.

CARS 3533

PICTON, Ont.—The 2012 Camry represents the single largest launch in the history of Toyota Canada. Eclipsing the $5 million spent in 2006 to promote the Yaris, Toyota is leaving no medium untouched to get out the message. From an eightpage glossy broadsheet newspaper insert with 2.5 million circulation, to a national magazine and broadcast deal with Rogers, to Twitter/Facebook/ Internet and announcing it as the official car and truck supplier to the Winnipeg Jets, Toyota clearly intends to reinforce its position in the mid-size sedan segment where it has been the top seller for 13 of the last 14 years. And at one of the largest assemblages of Canadian automotive journalists I have seen under one roof, Toyota Canada president and CEO, Yoichi Tomihara, said the woes of the past are behind Toyota and, “we are back in the car business ... and I love it.” To prove the point, he

Prices have been reduced across the board from $800 up to $2,700 depending on the model, while content has increased dramatically. An example is $4,000 of added equipment on the topline XLE-V6. There are five Camry models starting with the LE ($23,700), SE ($26,950) and XLE ($29,900) all with a 2.5-litre, DOHC inline four-cylinder producing 178 hp and 170 lb/ ft of torque. Fuel consumption is listed at 8.2/5.6/7.0L/100 km city/ highway/combined. Next are the SE-V6 ($29,900) and XLEV6 ($33,700) with a 3.5-litre DOHC V6 making 268 hp and 248 lb/ft of torque while returning 9.7/6.4/8.2L/100 km city/ highway/combined. There is one transmission, a six-speed automatic. With a second generation of people who have never learned to drive a manual, there is really is no need for a manual. The other Camry in the mix is the Hybrid in

announced Toyota/Lexus/Scion will have no less than 20 new or refreshed models on the road by the end of 2012. Toyota calls the 2012 Camry its New Era sedan. For some 30 years, the Camry excelled at providing reliable and sensibly priced mid-size ride and comfort, and it still does. But for 2012, Toyota, to my surprise anyway, is talking about the Camry also offering emotional appeal not just with stylish interiors and exteriors but a sense of something more. For instance, with 10 standard airbags, Toyota believes the driver will feel glad he/she is keeping passengers safe or, with claimed best in segment fuel economy, will feel good about reducing his/ her carbon footprint. The first emotion I felt concerned the interior size of the new Camry. With the front seat all the way back, I could just touch the pedals while the backseat legroom would do justice to an airport limousine. The other emotion buyers will feel is relief in terms of their wallets.

▼ TESTING

Camry re-emerges Hyundai ‘fun day’ tests Genesis sedans and coupes Camry from B6 LE and XLE trim with 200 net horsepower. It uses a 2.5-litre gasoline engine with CVT ftransmission instead of the previous 2.4-litre. In LE form, fuel consumption is listed at 4.5/4.9/4.7L;/100 km city/highway/combined. Prices have yet to be announced so I will be driving this in the future in a separate road test. In addition to the 10 /aforementioned airbags, all Camrys come with tToyotaπs Star Safety Sys/tem which includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distritbution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA). It also fea/tures the standard Smart Stop Technology brakeoverride system. An electronic tire pressure monitoring system is standard equipment. There are really too many detail improvements to discuss here but one is vortex generators, one between each outside mirror and the A-pillar and one at each rear taillight. Gleaned from Toyota’s F1 program, they force air to flow closer to the body thus reducing drag. While the suspension remains coil springs over MacPherson struts at the front and multi-link rear, the geometry is much changed. A lot of work was done to reduce pitch while cornering and stability were reworked for what Toyota calls a flat ride. I drove the SE, LE and, primarily, the SE-V6. With its 56 extra body welds and revised suspension, the V6 is very entertaining with its paddle shifters that automatically blip the throttle when shifting down. But for my money, the 2.5-litre is the one to have. During the press launch in the Picton area, I took off on my own for a few hours because I know the area well. Roads there are good, but narrow and the Camry is a big car but because it tracks as well as it corners, it felt more like a European sedan than one aimed primarily at North Americans. With the leaves turning seemingly before my eyes, the Bloomfield, East Lake and Cherry Valley areas of Prince Edward County never looked so lovely. The 2.5-litre was very

responsive aided by the six-speed automatic that shifted up and down so smoothly I had to look down from time to time to see what gear I was in. Another nice touch was the standard audio system with a 6.1-inch screen and six-speakers. It displays energy use, fuel consumption, and if you go for the SE or XLE, there is a back-up camera. Integrated in the choice of two steering wheels is a one-thumb click switch on the left spoke that controls a number of functions meaning you donπt have to take your eyes off the road or hands off the wheel. Driving back to Toronto in the LE as a passenger, I had a better chance to look at the fit and finish of the interior. There were many little things such as the stitching around the main instrument binnacle, the way the B-pillar is bowed out to give more space between the seat and the door and more cup and beverage holders than I could count. Finished in a two-tone upper black and lower beige with matching seat and door trim beige, that LE is the one I’d be looking at. Yes, as Tomihara-san said, Toyota is back but this time itπs up against strong opposition such as Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata, Chevrolet Malibu and Kia Optima with the Koreans, in particular, taking no prisoners when it comes to content and to cost. But Toyota has not been the mid-size segment leader for 13 out of the last 14 years by accident. With its reputation for build quality and contentfor-the-dollar, the 2012 Camry has what it takes to make the leader for the 15th year.

Neil Moore CONTRIBUTOR

The smell of brakes, clutches and tires filled the air at Mosport International Raceway’s driver development track, as Canadian auto journalists recently put a couple of Hyundai vehicles to the test.

The event wasnπt held to launch anything new, but to give journalists the chance to experience the capability of the 306-hp Genesis Coupe and 429hp Genesis R-Spec Sedan in a track situation. On the 2.4-kilometre circuit, the Genesis Coupes fared well with

most drivers finding their lines cleanly through the tight turns and chicanes, with traction control systems correcting most under or oversteer. Of course, track experience—not just technology—was key to success here. Braking too late for a corner and going into a

slide wakes up the traction control and negates any real possibility of powering quickly out of the turn. On the other hand, these systems probably kept a number of journalists out of the infield. The R-Spec Sedans, with their 5.0-litre Tau engine, provided plenty of

excitement and noise on the makeshift drag strip. Despite the traction control system, mashing the throttle provided just enough wheelspin for respectable racing. Some drivers disabled it, however, and found they finished a couple of car lengths behind.

I was standing at the balcony door, squinting into the light, sipping my morning coffee. Technically, it was a day off. But I had a backlog of stories to write, schedules to make up, emails to answer. I also had a Ninja 1000 downstairs that had not been properly ridden since I had shuttled it home from Kawasaki Canada. A small breeze stirred the trees outside and cool air wafted through the screen door. And blew my indecision away. I did the only sensible thing a man in my position could do. I grabbed my helmet and gloves, powered down the computer, powered up the bike and roared away. Now, there’s no such thing as a bad bike for an unplanned ride, but the Ninja 1000 was a particularly nice fit for a day trip. It takes the faired styling lines and spirit of the race-

The Ninja 1000 stretches the ergonomic triangle, lengthening the wheelbase a touch, raising the seat slightly, lifting the handlebars out of the racer’s crouch to a more upright, more relaxed rid-

A good looking bike

Ninja from B8 er’s comfort zone with other touring touches (or what Kawasaki’s promotional bumpf lists as “bikelife-enhancing features”). Those include a larger three-position hand-adjustable windscreen, thicker seat padding, rubber-

wrapped foot pegs, passenger grip bars, a slightly larger underseat storage area and a substantially bigger 19-litre gas tank (four litres more than the ZX-10R or Z1000). An accessory list offers a top case, side cases, heated grips, cowling protectors, front fork sliders

and a single-seat cover. The Ninja 1000 felt light and maneuverable. Or maybe I was still hungover from two weeks on a big tourer, but this onelitre version actually does not weigh in much heavier than Kawasaki’s 650 cc version. And it’s a handsome

motorcycle with taut lines that accent the design’s svelte athleticism. I must admit, I had hoped for the bright green version that drives the Americans crazy, simply because they can’t get it in that colour, but the Candy Fire Red and Ebony combination strikes a nice two-

tone balance. The engine unwinds with enough punch to please, snarling gleefully through the twin 4-2-2 stubby silencers. Acceleration is brisk but less frenetic than on a high-strung supersport, with a lower 11,000 rpm redline and with tuning

tweaked towards better low- and mid-range response. My first tank of gas burned away at highway speeds between 90-120 kph, the fuel gauge ticking down to the last bar after See Ninja B12

225 km. I refueled with 14 litres for a fuel economy rating of 6.2L/100km, an average that would stick for the rest of the test. At that rate of consumption, the 19-litre tank gave me a range that just squeaked over 300 km mark. And, speaking of fuel, when the tank is full, there’s a slight side-to-side rocking at the stoplight as the gas sloshes around the tank. It’s a minor thing,

probably easily solved by baffles in the tank, and only mentioned here because I’ve just never noticed the sensation as much on other bikes. I had a good ride. The upright position takes the weight off your wrists and the seat was an okay compromise – not sportbike skinny and comfortable enough for longer treks. There are no significant complaints to be found here, although my

wish list would include a gear position indicator and a helmet lock. With the surprise addition of this bike for 2011, Kawasaki Canada now offers a lot of choices in the one-litre niche – the pure power and race-inspired handling of the ZX10R, the naked bike simplicity of the Z1000 and, now, the Ninja 1000 with its unique blend of performance and civility, enhanced with enough touring touches to make it a

versatile motorcycle with all-round qualities for almost any kind of ride. Listing for $13,699, the Ninja 1000 is slotted nicely between the smaller Ninja 650R ($7,999) and the sport touring Concours 14 ABS ($20,199). Kawasaki Canada is offering Mega Value cash credits of up to $1,400 on certain models (an $800 credit in the case of the Ninja 1000) to be deducted from the MSRP of bikes bought before Nov-

KIYOE TANEMURA (NEE KITAURA) We are deeply saddened to convey the passing of Kiyoe Tanemura on October 14th, 2011. A dedicated wife, mother, grandma, and friend, Kiyoe, predeceased by Ken in 1997, leaves behind her children; Ryan Tanemura (Julie), Terry Lynn Durrer (David), Heather Tanemura (Sean), and grandchildren; Jaclyn, Ashlee, Jeremy, Cody, Kimiko, and step-grandson Davison. Kiyoe was born September 22, 1933 in Rutland, B.C. She married Ken Tanemura, in November 1954 and moved to Salmon Arm to begin their life together and raise the family. Kiyoe enjoyed sports from an early age, beginning in her school years (basketball and soccer) and continuing on throughout her life. She enjoyed badminton, became a Master bowler and coach, and was Club Champion in 1979 at the Salmon Arm Golf Course. Kiyoe had an artistic side to her as well. She was an accomplished seamstress, knitter and crocheter, oil painter, potter and gardener. Our strong and steady guiding light, Mom is deeply missed but her spirit lives on in each of us. Her ability to giggle herself to tears, even throughout her illness, is a testament of her strength and approach to life. We hope to carry that forward in our own lives. A service in Kiyoe’s memory will be held at Bower’s Funeral Home on October 29th at 11:00 am with a reception and nternment to follow. If one wishes, donations may be made to Shuswap Hospital Foundation in Kiyoe’s memory.

Green roofs provide potential for recreational, aesthetic and ecofriendly space, and as the appeal of sustainable roofing grows, Washington D.C. area residents continue to find colorful alternatives to just being green. At a glance from the sidewalk, it appears Jeff Miller lives in a typical Georgetown row home. But a quick climb up a ladder through the skylight in his bathroom reveals another dimension to his house, where about 240,000 honeybees buzz atop the roof. Miller bought his first beehive several years ago to provide pollinators for his garden, he said, and later founded D.C. Honeybees to propagate more bees in the city. It’s this type of innovation that puts a personal spin on ecofriendly city living, said Kat Harrold, an assistant green roof designer. “In terms of the overall quality of life in an urban area, it’s one of the best things you can do,” Harrold said. “If you can basically turn your roof into your backyard, whether it be for gardening for just hanging out, I think that would be a tremendous resource.” And if a roof can be converted to a backyard, why not use it for the Italian lawn game bocce?

JEFF MILLER, bought his first hive to keep pollinators for his garden close at hand, placing the hives now atop his Georgetown surburb roof in Washington D.C. Last month, the D.C. Bocce League’s Columbia Heights Division kicked off its fall season on a grassy plot atop the Highland Park apartment complex. That was the league’s first time playing eight storeys above the city. “We needed to run a fall league somewhere, and it’s hard to find space on Saturday,” said John Groth, the league’s cofounder and marketing director for the Highland Park building’s contractor, Donatelli Development. Harrold said zoning regulations and weight capacities are the main restrictions on rooftop use. “It’s not as heavy as a lot of people think it is, but the bottom line is (its) structure has to be sound for you to add anything to it or even just hang out on it,” Harrold said. Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission employees are not spending time on the roofs of their Laurel, Md., office building, but workers on the upper floors have cubicles with a view. The two lower roofs, totaling 8,600 square feet, portray mirror images of red and gray zigzags—an abstraction of a riverbed, according to Heidi Lippman, the roof’s designer. From 12 storeys up, it’s hard to tell the work of art, “River Run,” is composed of locally quarried gravel, but the design is a

roofing option that helps cool the building and requires much less upkeep than the plants that commonly cover newer green roofs. “This is a way of introducing colour without the issue of introducing maintenance, like water,” said Lippman, a public works and studio artist who created two other rooftop designs in the Washington suburbs. Employees at Artery Plaza in Bethesda, Md., enjoy a similar view of “Aerialscape 1,” which covers 9,600 square feet of roof space. Lippman said she hopes her pieces inspire other sustainable innovations. “I hope it helps people think about what they can do with their environment that is inp genious and simple and beautiful,” she said. Lauren Pinch, manager of D.C. Bocce’s Columbia Heights Division, said it’s only natural for f city dwellers to keep moving up in search of new hangouts. “Roofs in the city are kind of social space,” she said. Although green space in cities doesn’t come as naturally, the interest in variations on sustainable roofs has blossomed. “They kinda sold themselves,” Miller said. “In D.C., there’s a P keen awareness of sustainability.”

Prepayment penalty may lead to greater mortgage savings Many local homeowners are currently locked in to higher rate mortgages, and looking enviously at the low fixed rate mortgages that are being offered these days. Our article this week will focus on prepayment penalties and potential savings involved in getting out of the high rate mortgages and into a mortgage in the low three per cent range. Unfortunately, if you would like to pay out your mortgage before the end of your closed mortgage term, a prepayment penalty will apply. As stated in your mortgage documents, the

prepayment penalty for an early discharge is the greater of three months interest on your mortgage or the Interest Rate Differential. If you are in a variable rate mortgages, the three months interest will only apply. That three month penalty is calculated by taking the balance of your mortgage, multiplied by the interest rate and dividing it by four. The IRD is a more complex calculation, essentially the difference between the interest you would have paid over the balance of the term of your mortgage and the interest the lender can earn

if they re-invest the money you prepay into another mortgage. The lender assumes that your money will be re-invested in a similar mortgage product at the lowest advertised interest rate (which may not be their “posted” rate) offered for that mortgage product at the time of prepayment. For example, take this three month interest penalty scenario: Balance on mortgage: $300,000 Interest rate: 5.25% Remaining term: 18 months Three month interest penalty, $300,000 (bal-

ance) X 5.25% (interest rate) / 4 = $3,937.50 The IRD formula is: Balance x (interest rate—current rate) x time remaining in years Current Rate: 3.50% (1Year Fixed) 1.5 years remaining in your current mortgage. Interest rate difference: 4.75% (your exiting interest rate)—3.5% (current one year rate) =1.25% Current rate is the rate of the remaining term. The remaining term in this example is 18 months. The current rate would be the one year rate. (Remaining terms are Round

down.) $300,000.00 (balance) x 1.25% (interest rate difference) = $3,750.00 x 1.5 (term remaining in years) = $5.625. In this example, the IRD is greater and you will be charged the IRD penalty for an early discharge. So, if you were to pay the IRD of $5.625 and go into a new four year mortgage of 3.09 per cent, your monthly payment would be reduced by

$240 per month. Your interest savings in the first 18 months (term remaining on your original mortgage) would be $6,682.49. Your remaining mortgage balance would be $2,370.91 less. As a result, the IRD penalty you paid would result in saving you money. Plus, you know you have the low rate of 3.09 for an additional two years. Of Prime Interest is

Q: How did you hear about Elkridge?

we are very proud who will turn 20 in December. We became empty nesters, officially as of last week! My husband and I both work—I am a hairdresser and my husband is the shipper at Rona. We really enjoy the hot summers and mild winters here in the Okanagan and plan to spend the rest of our lives here and in our new home. Q: What are the qualities you were looking for in a home? Gardner: We wanted a house with air conditioning, a garage, fenced backyard, fireplace, ensuite and three bedrooms. We never thought we would have the good fortune to buy a brand new house. We found almost everything we were looking for at Elkridge. Q: What are you looking forward to the most about your new home? Gardner: I am looking forward to living a

new life in a new house. I am so happy to have a mortgage. The future looks so positive now. One day we will be living our dream of being debt free. Q: How would you describe your purchase experience through Project build III Gardner: The experience has been a very positive experience; Jennifer Williamson has been so helpful. She has helped us from the first minute that I walked on the site. The website was easy to manoeuvre through and answered a lot of my questions. Q: Any advice to future home owners considering home ownership through Project Build III? Gardner: Move fast as this is a deal that won’t come around often. I have recommended Elkridge to my boss’s daughter and her family. They are moving in March.

Gardner: I first learned about Elkridge from the billboards on Highway 97. My husband and I had briefly discussed the development, but at that time never really consider it as an option. Then one day on my way home from Kelowna the billboard caught my curiosity so I drove right down to the site to take a look. My husband was in Mexico at the time and not present on the first initial tour of what is now our new home. I think I viewed our future home about three times with our realtor Jennifer Williamson before deciding to purchase. Jennifer made the experience so enjoyable and was so helpful. Q: Can you tell us a bit about yourselves and your family (ie: number of children etc.) Gardner: My husband and I have been married for 23 years and we have a grown son that

Project Build makes home ownership a reality New homeowner T.J. Gardner talks about how Project Build III allowed her family to buy a new home in a West Kelowna development. Shauna Nyrose CONTRIBUTOR

Question: How long have you lived in Kelowna or Okanagan? Gardner: We moved to Kelowna on Aug. 15, 2003, after selling our town home in Surrey. Originally, we moved because I was offered a job here in Kelowna. The job, as it turned out, was not the fit I had hoped for but my family fell in love with the area. My husband loves the summer heat. Q: Have you owned a home before? Gardner: Yes, we were proud owners of a townhome in Surrey which we sold before moving to the Okanagan in 2003. We really enjoyed being homeowners. We saw home ownership as not only an investment in our future but also as secure and stable home to raise our son. Q: Would you have been able to purchase your home if not for Project Build? Gardner: After selling our home in Surrey in 2003, we decided to hold off on buying in Kelowna for the first while. We wanted to make sure that this was the

place we saw ourselves living not only today but in the future as well. Shortly after our move, we saw the destruction of the 2003 fire and the incline of home prices. We just couldn’t justify buying a home for $50,000 more than what it was listed for the previous week. Project Build has been a great opportunity for us to purchase a new home equipped with almost everything we wanted, and with a mortgage that is only fractionally higher than what we were paying in rent. We are very happy to be home owners again! With West Kelow-

na being an ever growing community, continuously growing in services and shopping, we are very pleased and confident in our decision in choosing Elkridge as our new community. Q: How did you hear about Project Build? Gardner: We found out about Project Build through our mortgage broker, John Antle. We were hoping to buy a house through rentto-own. I sent in an application to John Antle and he told us about Project Build in Lake Country. (Editor’s Note: Project Build is an innovative project to help deserving people get into home

ownership. With a little help from local businesses, donors and community minded individuals— you might be closer to being able to own your own home than you think! Non-repayable grants are available through the Project Build Society to help hard-working families get out of renting and into owning. Building on the success of Project Build I and Project Build II in Lake Country, Project Build III has opened up the option of home ownership in the Elkridge development. By investing in our community, everyone wins. See Build B23
