Traffic signal changes planned Jason Luciw STAFF REPORTER

Almost two years to the month it opened, and despite advice that three lanes should be built coming into Kelowna, the B.C. Ministry of Transportation must resolve morning backlogs that have started occurring eastbound off the Bennett Bridge. However, the B.C. Ministry of Transportation hopes the traffic backups can be resolved with minor adjustments to traffic signal timing. Transportation ministry spokesman Jeff Knight said that engineers have been analyzing traffic flows into Kelowna in order to determine what adjustments should be made at intersections on Harvey Avenue. “We are looking at the section from Abbott to Ellis––the first three signals entering Kelowna,” said Knight. However, Knight couldn’t say at this point how much more time would be added to accommodate eastbound traffic at each intersection. “Changes will depend on the results of our enSee changes A11

Return of farming proposed for Fintry land Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Ayrshire dairy cows may munch once again on fresh hay at Fintry, and they may keep company with a variety of other heritage varieties of plants and animals amongst the historic farm buildings

on Westside Road. Keith Duhaime feels the Laird of Fintry would be proud of the legacy he’d left if an incubation facility develops at Fintry, where new farm enterprises could be nurtured. In fact, if Duhaime, agricultural support officer for the Central Okanagan

Economic Development Commission, has his way, Fintry Provincial Park could be the focal point for an agricultural renaissance in the Okanagan, called Fintry New Farm. He can imagine young farmers rediscovering skill sets that “we’ve kind of lost” over the years, with a return to

more-sustainable, traditional farming, producing niche market products that today fetch premium prices on world markets. For instance, using old world artisans and raising traditional breeds of pigs See Fintry A3

Such a venture is a perfect fit with the heritage of Fintry, which was built by James Cameron Dun-Waters, an innovative and determined pioneer from Scotland who grew vegetables and tree fruits, raised Ayrshire dairy cows, pigs and chickens on the delta of Shorts Creek at Fintry. He produced his own electricity using a pelton wheel to generate it from the falls on Shorts Creek and he introduced telephone service that linked all the houses and other buildings on the delta, long before his neighbours had such conveniences. Dun-Waters, known as the Laird of Fintry, farmed the delta from 1909 to 1939, when he turned it over the Fair-

It’s like anything, where a certain price goes to one level and people will buy it but it goes to the next level and people say they won’t do that and they’ll start driving and have kids walk,” Cacchioni stated. “It’s been the first year we’ve experienced with user pay busing and to my mind it’s worked out fairly well. “Perhaps we can massage it a bit, but at this particular time, personally I would not be in favour of an increase.” The school board is expected to debate busing charges at its April 28 meeting, prior to adoption of the school district’s 2010-11 budget (see related story on A5). Watson said he would propose other busing changes as well, including an increase in the minimum number of students on each trip, going from

seven students to 14. Watson also suggested the board reduce hardship assistance for those who can’t afford busing fees. “We should review that because it is an optional service. I’m not suggesting that we eliminate it completely, but I would like to…have it partially subsidized,” said Watson. He also proposed elimination of any imbalanced subsidies in the busing system. “Right now we as a board get approximately $530 per student from the ministry for transportation and we have, in some situations, parents getting in excess of $2,000 per year because they don’t live in an area where there are enough (riders) to sustain an actual bus run.” He suggested the subsidy be capped at $530 per student. jluciw@kelownacapnews.com

nagan School District faces education budget cuts, the school board has also been advised to find new sources of revenue to resolve this year’s $4.68 million provincial funding shortfall. To that end, Westside trustee Jeff Watson recommends the board of education increase school busing fees. “I would like to recommend that we increase the fee from $20 to $21. It doesn’t sound like a lot, but that would increase (revenue by) roughly $35,000,” said Watson. However, Board of Education chairman Rolli Cacchioni said he was opposed to the idea because the busing charge was only implemented in September. Therefore, any repercussions from the increase would be difficult to forecast, he argued. “There are certain tip-

▼ BUDGET CUTS

Liberal gov’t accused of eroding public education Jason Luciw STAFF REPORTER

B.C.’s Liberal government is lying to the public about how it’s funding public education and it’s time the politicians come clean about the kind of money that’s really needed to run local schools, according to Central Okanagan Teachers’ Association president Alice Reece. “They can stop their blatant misrepresentation of money,” Reece said Wednesday night, following a Central Okanagan school trustees committee rmeeting. During the meeting, local superintendent Hugh Gloster explained how a $4.68 million shortfall in funding from the provrince would impact public education in the Central Okanagan in the 2010-11 budget. Gloster told trustees that provincial funding for the Central Okanagan School District would actually be $2.96 million greater in 2010-11 than 2009-10. The local funding would come from the Liberal government’s promised $112 million Now you can use the Internet to add your own non-profit event to the Capital News Stuff to Do. Simply go to kelownacapnews.com,

increase in public school funding across B.C. for the next school year, he stated. However, Gloster said the Central Okanagan’s share of that additional funding was inadequate because it wouldn’t cover increases in the school district’s operational costs. Those costs are expected to rise $7.64 million, including $2.23 million to implement the provincially mandated full-day kindergarten classes starting in September and another $2.84 million to cover provincially negotiated wage and benefit increases for teachers coming into effect at the same time. In order to cover the shortfall, more than 50 programs and services must be eliminated or scaled back in September.

The equivalent of 17 full time teaching positions, most in middle and secondary schools, and 22 full time support staff jobs would be lost throughout the district as a result. However, Gloster could not say how many employees would actually be handed pink slips because some of the positions could be eliminated through retirement and some savings would potentially be achieved through reduced hours as opposed to complete elimination of the positions. In addition to staffing cuts, the district would scale back on support for literacy, early education career/life, graduation and student support services at the district level. The district said it would also be scaling back on number of

vehicles it replaced next year, cut down on office equipment purchases, reduce sick bank and illness replacement budgets for principals and administrative staff, chop advertising budgets, lower meeting and meal costs and eliminate a half-time communications coordinator position. The Board of Education is expected to give final approval to the cuts on April 28. In the meantime, board chairman Rolli Cacchioni said he would head to Victoria where he hoped to meet with B.C. Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid first thing Friday morning and spell out the impacts of the provincial funding shortfall. “We’ll be saying here is the $4.7 million shortfall for the budget for next

year, here’s what we’ve had to do in order to address that and here’s how it’s affecting the quality of education in the district. I’m not sure she’ll cough

up more money this year,” stated Cacchioni. “But, if we don’t get enough money next year it’s really going to start having a debilitating effect on the whole system.” As for Reece, she noted that provincial funding shortfalls to local education have now occurred for three consecutive years and would amount to more than $12 million by the end of the 20102011 school year. “Every single thing in this district has now been cut beyond the bone and now they’re cutting some more,” Reece continued. “People are working double time to meet the needs of kids right now from past cuts. “This budget will be asking them to work even harder and I don’t know how much more they can

give.” Reece said if the provincial government continues to short change local education the public education system in the Central Okanagan is going to start crumbling. “It would seem to me anybody with wisdom would say we’ve got a product that’s the best in the world, let’s keep it there,” Reece said. “This government is saying we’ve got the best in the world let’s see how far we can cut and still keep it there. “I think people are getting angry. I think that was reflected by the trustees, it’s certainly reflected by me, it’s reflected throughout the entire system and parents, I think, are starting to see it’s a shell game and they’re not happy.” jluciw@kelownacapnews.com

A community grows on the backs of volunteers D ‘‘

JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS

VOLUNTEERS Andrew Schneuker and James

Hawkin, who can usually be found doing quite different work at the Westbank Walmart, did a little dirty work for Mother Nature on the weekend, restoring the bank of a stream. They’re just two of thousands of volunteers who make this a better community.

irt flew, water flowed, backs were bent and nearly a hundred native trees and shrubs are now shooting out new green leaves alongside a creek where non-native turfgrass was a feature at the top of the bank before. Nearly 40 volunteers dug holes, moved in plants, replaced dirt and carefully pushed the new trees and shrubs into their new homes, adding a little water to help them adjust. It was a beehive of activity last Saturday in Trepanier Creek Linear Park in Peachland, but there were no complaints about the work. In fact, some of the hard-working volunteers actually thanked me afterwards for the opportunity to take part in such a satisfying project—restoring some of the native vegetation along the creek to improve natural habitat. Not all were dressed in jeans and work shirts when they arrived, and they didn’t all bring their own shovels, but even the inexperienced soon learned the importance of a little food and water to help

TRAIL MIX

Judie Steeves establish even the hardiest of trees and shrubs. And, all were willing to get their hands dirty to help out Mother Nature where we’d destroyed her natural filters decades before. They learned how vital it is for a canopy of trees to filter sunlight and provide shade alongside and above streams to keep the water cool on hot summer days, and provide insects and leaf litter as feed for fish and other aquatic creatures. They ranged in age from barely school age to great-grandparents, and included a couple of dozen people you can find most days behind a counter at the Westbank Walmart, as well as a bunch of other people you could find anywhere, maybe sitting right next to you—members of the Peachland Sportsman’s

Association. In cooperation with the Municipality of Peachland and with funding from Walmart’s Evergreen program and the PSA’s fund-raising efforts, a collaboration of members of the community came together for a few hours and changed a little stream’s environment. It’s astonishing what volunteers can do, and what they do accomplish in our communities. They not only restore natural areas, they lead hikes, like members of the Central Okanagan Naturalists’ Club, and even publish books to help people enjoy natural areas. The club’s hiking schedule is at www.okanagannature.com and you can pick up CONC member Roland Gebauer’s book Hiking for Health and Pleasure in the Okanagan, with its glorious photos, which raises funds for the CONC, at Mosaic Books, Outdoor Adventure Gear and Second Tyme Around.

Sukho Thai Restaurant

Bobbi-Sue Menard CONTRIBUTOR

A well thought out menu, featuring fresh ingredients is the cornerstone of the Sukho Thai experience. The new, inviting space, beautifully decorated, fast, friendly service and excellent prices all combine to create a destination restaurant in West Kelowna for both lunch and dinner. Sukho Thai is located in the new complex in front of the Best Western in West Kelowna. The space was renovated to exacting standards eight months ago. Through the front doors is a gracious welcome with a dark stained bamboo bar, Buddhaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imported from around the world and interior water features. The custom made furnishings are a sophisticated, comfortable design with Asian influences. The banquettes and booths are all movable, large groups can easily be accommodated. With a mix of chandeliers and pendant lighting over the bar, in the evening, Sukho Thai is a jewel of a restaurant experience.

James questions food bank reduction Grants from A8

The final grant allotments were as follows:

limited funds available, noting the food bank has a new $35-a-month “no hungry children” campaign underway which also contributes money to the snack pack program. Altogether some $112,000 was distributed over 20 groups in Kelowna, including two “emergency grants.” The emergency grants are drawn from reserve funds, comprised of funding returned to the city in years when a group was not able to use the grant made available to them or there were surplus grant dollars. As such, the Friends of the Kelowna Fire Museum received a $5,000 emergency grant to tide them over until their museum official opens in April and Freedom’s Door received $5,000 to repair the roofs of three recovery houses.

Bike helmets can sometimes feel like an inconvenience O

ut on the road this week and staring down the long arm of the law, I have to admit I did the unthinkable—I accidentally forgot my helmet. I’m easing into commuting this year: a few trips to the store, a venture toward the office and a road ride or two basically sum up my list of accomplishments. And if there’s one thing I find tough about getting started again, it’s wrangling all the little pieces in order to get myself out of the house including, apparently, my

helmet. Yikes! As a self-described helmet Nazi, I have to admit I don’t think I’ve ever left home without my plastic protector until this week. But as I rolled along the road, mindlessly daydreaming about other things, I suddenly realized this ride was all too free-

ing. A true Winona Ryder moment, you know, circa the shoplifting years. The helmet is one thing that, as someone who rides a lot for basic everyday trips, I have to admit I’m starting to have a hard time getting my head around. On one hand, you have the brain injury pre-

vention peeps who insist wearing a helmet for all sporting activities is critical; then on the other, you have the European example which shows commuting isn’t really a sport, so much as a basic necessity and lifestyle, to which adding a helmet can be an inconvenience, if not a deterrent. To be perfectly honest, from my own perspective, helmets can be a major pain in the butt if you’re just running up the street to buy a carton of milk, or toddling around downtown running errands— unless of course you’re

bald—but they’re mandatory. So I wear mine. Yet I have noticed, somehow we seem to have come to a strange, if workable, compromise on helmet usage in Kelowna. While the RCMP superintendent is usually before city council at some point in the year saying they’re cracking down on bike helmet offenders, when you’re out on the mean streets, you find out pretty quickly it’s by no means obscure to see a cruiser (bike) ride right on by a police cruiser sans helmet with nary a flicker of red or blue.

And really, why should this be a problem? Arguably, sensible adults should be able to determine the level of risk they’re willing to stomach and decide whether a trip to the grocery store is the same as flying down Dilworth Mountain on their road bike. As Laura Bucci, of Momentum Magazine, aptly puts it: “It’s a beautiful feeling to ride down the road with the wind blowing in your hair.” And I have to admit, I can see where the mandatory helmet laws kind of cut the wind from some rider’s sails. (Her article, Are Helmet Laws Justified from print edition 24 is excellent incidentally.) There is a Bicycle Helmet Research Foundation, www.cyclehelmet.org, trying to sort fact from fiction on this debate. And among the many issues they’ve unearthed is the conundrum presented by Vélib commuter programs, or the “borrow a bike” as part of your transit system setup. The systems are going in all over the world and are an excellent means of reducing carbon emissions from heavily traffic streets. However, in jurisdictions where helmets are mandatory, there have been difficulties addressing how the system can be implement without breaking the law.

Other arguments against helmets include the physical fitness deterrent and its affect on the North American obesity problem (see Helen Smeaton’s Why Wear a Cycling Helmet on suite101.com). On the brain injury prevention side, studies vary widely as to how effective helmets are in preventing serious injury but The Brain Injury Association of Canada has some interesting information. No matter which side of the political argument you eventually find yourself, one thing is for certain: if you’re going to wear a helmet, do it up. (Yes, we know the helmet in my column head is not clipped but a word to the wise, I wasn’t actually riding when we took the mug). Make sure your helmet is no more than five years old and that the strap is secure. There’s nothing funnier than seeing someone using their helmet as a hat. My best friend’s daughter does this on a regular basis—she’s two. And while the look may work with a pair of your best baby shades and an armful of mud pies, it probably is one of those fashion faux pas best left on the “wrong era” pile with mullets and bed head. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

▼ BRIDGE

Traffic flow to be adjusted Changes from A1 gineers’ analysis. There are currently five times of day patterns for weekdays and two for weekends that address the differing travel patterns during the day. Initially we will look at the morning weekday pattern only because that is the time period when ministry staff observed delays.” When asked if the changes were the result of public complaints, Knight responded that the investigation into signal timing began early this month after ministry staff started seeing queues during the peak morning rush hours. As for other changes in the future, Knight didn’t rule any out. “The ministry will continue to monitor traf-

fic flow and adjust as necessary. Consideration of other options will be dependent on the effectiveness of the signal timing changes.” When it was designing the bridge, the transportation ministry received advice from the City of Kelowna, which suggested three lanes be built eastbound off the bridge to ease congestion. The ministry did not want to spend money to purchase the properties required to make the changes, recalled Kelowna regional services director Ron Westlake. Westlake said he is not aware at this point of any plans to purchase any property required to build that third lane that could address the bottleneck. However, even had the ministry purchased the

property and added a third eastbound lane by now, it may not have made much of a difference in this case, explained Kelowna traffic operations supervisor Fred Wollin. “Six lanes are not necessarily the answer. The problems are the intersections. There’s nothing impeding traffic on the bridge,” said Wollin. “But, when traffic hits those signals motorists have to wait their turn.” He said the ministry had not notified the city that the traffic signal changes would be happening next week. The city would need to be informed because changes could result in backlogs of traffic attempting to turn off city streets onto the highway. jluciw@kelownacapnews.com

Multicultural experience is alive at Ok College campus D iversity walked into my office the other day. He was a young international student from China who excels in courses that lean towards numbers and formulas but struggles with any subject that requires strong writing skills. My goal right now is to find him supports so he can improve his grades. Later on, I walked over to the cafeteria for lunch and overheard a number of students from the Caribbean talking about life in Canada, about going to school, having a part-time job— laughing the entire time as they shared their Canadian experience. Last week I was talking to one of our students, who is a second generation Indo-Canadian, about his exchange with a university in Germany and how much he learned from that experience. And I recently heard that a student who worked for me a few years ago

SCHOOL’S IN

Jane Muskens married one of his classmates, an international student from Taiwan. This is life on a postsecondary campus—the most multi-cultural environment in Canada. To understand the importance of diversity, multiculturalism or globalization—whatever you want to call it—start with first-hand experiences. We can’t learn to accept, understand or even identify with those different from us if we can’t see, hear or talk to those from different cultures. Experiences found on college campuses help students, faculty and even administrators, like myself, understand different cultures and also realize

some of our similarities. As globalization and diversity take root, these catch-phrases are morphed into real life experiences for many young adults from all over the world who go to school, work and live in a foreign country. And it is these experiences which create global citizens.

So what makes a global citizen? Global citizens are people who care about all human beings regardless of the passport they hold; they apply moral and ethical yardsticks with an international perspective. Global citizenship includes respect for any and all fellow global citizens, regardless of race, reli-

gion or creed and gives rise to a universal sympathy beyond the barriers of nationality. Global citizens don’t just worry about the homeless in their own community, but consider this issue from a worldwide perspective. These citizens look for change by lobbying the United Nations, G-8

summits and other international organizations to take a world-wide perspective on a number of important issues. They understand that a small contribution can make a world of difference, when enough people start to think the same way. They say no man is an island unto himself. To a global citizen no man or

Indie rock band will bring musical blend to Habitat Jennifer Smith

modern boogie mélange which recalls the energy of Sublime and the Red Hot Chili Peppers while

STAFF REPORTER

If there’s one thing Goodbye Beatdown has in spades, it’s a little luck of the Irish. Formed on St. Patrick’s Day 2009, the band’s first year in business reads more like the promos for a 10-year reunion tour than a whirlwind breakout on the indie music scene. They’ve already won one of the oldest live music competitions in Canada, opening for Bif Naked at the Commodore Ballroom as their “platinum winners” prize; played with idols they watched growing up such as Swollen Members, and warmed the stage for the likes of Default, Finger Eleven and Sean Kingston. Oh, and on the 12th day,12 days into the existence of the band that is, CBC personality and Canadian rock fan/journalist George Stroumboulopoulos gave them their name. “We were volunteering at the Junos and we asked George Stroumboulopoulos what he thought and that’s what he came up with. So after we received the name, we proceeded to go to the studio and record some music,” said the auspiciously named Mark Luongo, who just happens to share a last name with his hometown’s Olympic Canuck hero Roberto Luongo. Like the man in the net, the band’s lead man makes it all sound simple, though realistically their meteoric rise has taken the best of timing, happenstance and dedication to pull off. From the time the band connected, it only took them three months to lay their first tracks, meaning they’re both driven and incredibly hardworking. This Luongo golden boy says one of his favourite experiences as a band member thus far was opening for Sam Roberts on the Surrey Art’s Centre Main Stage at the Olympics this winter. The band played a tricked out rendition of the national anthem with the guitar amp cranked so high it even blew the band members’ minds.

“It was amazing on a whole other level,” Luongo said. “I don’t think I’ve ever quite had a patriotic moment of that magnitude.” Since the performance the band has expanded. Band member James Kennedy decided to leave his day job as a disc jockey at Vancouver radio station 99.3 New Rock CFox after the band won the Fox Vancouver Seeds live independent rock contest with the first song they ever recorded. The original members laid the track last June and spent the summer touring as the contest wound its way to the grand finale in August. Along the way they played a couple of gigs with Kennedy and, last fall, after watching the group walk away with the contest title, he decided to put his on-air personality pursuits aside and give the band his “once in a lifetime” best shot. “It was a tough decision because he knew he couldn’t be an aspiring DJ and in a rock band,” said Luongo, who credits the Seeds win with solidifying their presence as a B.C. band. Building their name throughout the province is going to be very important for the group as they head into their second year and they’re hoping their upcoming concert at The Habitat will go a long way toward establishing that presence. Doing all the promotions off the side of his desk while running his own business as a music teacher has made their first year pretty tough for Luongo, though he ap-

Water basin board further complicates logging dispute richard rolke CONTRIBUTOR

A public agency is being accused of interfering in a heated logging dispute. Wayne Lippert, a North Okanagan Regional District director, questioned why the Okanagan Basin Water Board wrote a letter to the provincial government on logging in the Browns

Creek watershed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the mandate of OBWB to get involved in a matter like that,â&#x20AC;? said Lippert referring to the conflict between the Okanagan Indian Band and Tolko Industries over logging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The dispute between the band and Tolko is a legal dispute and a provincial matter.â&#x20AC;? Rick Fairbairn, OBWB vicechairman, said the board decided

to write a letter to John Slater, parliamentary secretary for water supply, after receiving a request from the Okanagan Indian Band to do so. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandate is to promote water quality and access to water and that was the intent of the letter,â&#x20AC;? said Fairbairn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt that with a very generic letter, a response could go out. We had to keep in mind the neutrality of OBWB.â&#x20AC;?

Buffy Baumbrough, an OBWB director, denies the agency is taking sides in the dispute on the west side of Okanagan Lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our mandate is protection of water quality and quantity and we wanted to speak to that,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t respond to political issues and we made that very clear. We are simply reminding the government that activities in watersheds

should not impact water quality.â&#x20AC;? The motion adopted by OBWB members March 2 states: â&#x20AC;&#x153;That the Okanagan Basin Water Board send a letter requesting the province to carefully evaluate the concerns of the OKIB in the Browns Creek with respect to logging and other activity in their community watershed, and ensure that the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community water supply is protected.â&#x20AC;?

Family celebrates Environment Day

▼ OUTDOORS

Turning the kids on to fishing Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Chipping in for the food bank Every third Tuesday is Food Bank Day for the Tuesday Night Ladies Night Golf group at Sunset Ranch Golf and County Club. Last year the lady golfers raised $8,500 for breast cancer research. The golfers wanted to “do something closer to home” in picking a charity to support this year. The funds raised by the golfers will go towards the purchase of perishable food for the food bank this summer.

YOUNG ANGLER sends out a cast for a trout at Shannon Lake. for the grand opening at Shannon Lake Regional Park on Sunday, April 25. At both events, there will be a few rods avail-

able for those who don’t have their own, and volunteers will be available from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to give youngsters some

tips on fishing, as well as on what to do with your catch. Every weekend for the next six weeks or so, volunteers will be available at the two parks Saturdays to help youngsters learn to fish, while on Sundays, regional district staff will be there. With the support of the FFSBC each fishing area will be stocked with 15 to 30 centimetre rainbow trout reared at the Summerland Trout Hatchery. Mark Siemens, hatchery manager says, “This urban fishing program for youngsters is unique because it brings the experience of fishing closer to home. “Many of the children taking part with their families in these ‘Go Fish’ weekends might not normally be able to participate in the sport of fishing.” Smith asked that those who plan to participate respect park neighbours by parking only in designated areas.

The public is invited to Mission Creek Regional Park on Saturday to celebrate Family Environment Day. This year’s event will mark the 40th anniversary of Earth Day with the theme: A Billion Acts of Green.

The activities will be centred around the Environmental Education Centre at the park from 11a.m. to 3 p.m. All the indoor and outdoor activities at this popular event are free, including kids’ games, an environment trivia quest, a

tour of the forest education van, musical performances and a native snake exhibit with interpreter Scott Alexander . Family Environment Day is organized each year by the Central Okanagan regional parks services staff.

Aspiring anglers are invited to come out and learn to fish this weekend at one of two kids’ fishponds in regional parks which were stocked with catchable-sized trout this week. The ‘Go Fish’ program is one of the most popular family programs held annually in regional parks, says communications coordinator Bruce Smith of the regional district. Youngsters under the age of 16 may fish without a fishing licence at the Hall Road pond and at Shannon Lake in West Kelowna during the program, which runs into June. They’ll be permitted to catch and keep one trout a day during that time. This marks the fourth year of the popular children’s recreational fishing program put on by regional district parks services and its volunteer partners, the Kelowna and District Fish and Game Club, Lonely Loons Flyfishers Society and Peachland Sportsmen’s Association along with the support of the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C., the Summerland Trout Hatchery and the B.C. Ministry of Environment. Volunteers from the Kelowna club will be on hand at the Hall Road pond in Mission Creek Regional Park for the grand opening on Saturday, April 24, while volunteers from the Peachland Sportsman’s Association will hold a barbecue for families who come out

Students, artists rally to help troubled facility B.C. artist Robert Bateman is supporting fundraising efforts on behalf of CrocTalk, an animal rescue and conservation attraction, located in southeast Kelowna. Bateman’s stunning, limited edition print, titled Ocean Rhapsody, is one of many original works of art that will be auctioned on May 12 at the Delta Grand Okanagan, as part of a CrocTalk fundraiser organized by the students of the event promotions and management program at the Centre for Arts and Technology. Richcraft Gallery & Framing, located on Lakeshore Drive in the Mission, also offered to frame the artwork in support of CrocTalk, which is home to 26 crocodilians,

It shows compassion and community spirit.” “When Doug first approached us with the Robert Bateman painting we were more than willing to participate in framing it to support such a good cause,” noted Ken MacPherson. “When the students of CATO’s event promotions and management

The Delta Grand Okanagan is providing the space for the art auction, which will feature the original works of Bateman, as well as many talented local artists. “It’s going to be a phenomenal evening featuring both a silent and live auction,” said Hanley. “We will have two artists, Nikki Balfour and Sarah Thompson, painting to live music, per-

In 1999, they created a parody of the World Trade Organization website that mocked the harshest ideas about globalization. However humorous its intent, the website earned them invitations to important business trade meetings around the world.

Total Restoration bike racers on track in Walla Walla

CONTRIBUTED

TOTAL RESTORATION team members Sarah Stewart and Leah Guloien work together last weekend at the Tour of Walla Walla stage race in Washington.

The Kelowna-based Total Restoration cycling squad was clearly in its element at the Tour of Walla Walla stage race last weekend in Washington. In the second largest race of its kind in the Pacific Northwest, Restoration turned in a secondplace overall finish in the men’s pro race with Jamie Sparling at the front. In the women’s race, Restoration (Jessica Hannah) took fifth spot overall. In addition, T.R.’s Cyrus Kangarloo was sixth in the men’s race, and Leah Guloien placed ninth. In the first road race Restoration’s Tim Sherstobitoff was second, just narrowly getting clipped

at the line after leading the whole pack into the sprint finish. Jamie Sparling had a scorching fast time trial to place third which saw him just two seconds out of second spot. The team rode the criterium defensively to ensure no one got away, but rode safely as it was pouring rain. Going into the final road race— which included 5,000 feet of climbing—the goal for the men was to try to move Jamie up into first or second overall by isolating the other two ahead of them through teamwork. The T.R. team worked well and delivered Jamie to the final 3 km climb with the other favorites and, from

there on, it was every man for himself. Jamie finished fourth on the stage and was able to make up the 45-second deficit on the leader which put him into second place overall. The goal was similar for the women and they executed it well with Jessica and Leah both moving up five spots in the GC, while Jessica rode into second place on the day, just seconds out of first. “Getting second overall in the men’s race at Tour of Walla Walla is a huge result for our team,” said T.R. team member Cory Forrest. ”We still have lots to work on with improving some of the communication and team-

work but things are going in the right direction. Jessica had some bad luck in the time trial too after being delayed by a semi truck crossing the road, so she would have been in the hunt for the podium if the mishap didn’t occur, but sometimes that’s just racing and you gotta roll with it.” The Walla Walla race featured four stages in three days, consisting of a 100 km road race, 16 km time trial, 50 km criterium and 150 km road race for the men. The women’s event is a 60 km road race, the same time trial, the 30 km criterium and 120 km road race. The team’s next race is in Maple Ridge at the end of April

Record number of locals run in Boston Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Over the years, Sandy Wike has collected more than a few fond memories from competing at marathons in foreign locales such as Iceland, California, Oregon and Washington. But for the Kelowna woman, nothing can rival her latest experience at one of the world’s most prestigious and longestrunning athletic events. On Monday, Wike reached a new pinnacle as she ran in the Boston Marathon for the first time. “It was absolutely fantastic, the most impressive marathon I’ve ever run in,” said Wike, who has run in 12 organized

marathons. “The people of Boston were incredible, all the towns along way had people out there shouting and supporting you. We wrote names on our arms and people were yelling them out. I’ve done a few different marathons, but there was nothing like this.” With more than 23,000 runners setting off in ideal spring-weather conditions, Wike completed the 26-mile (42.2 km) journey from Hopkinton to central Boston in four hours 22 minutes 51 seconds. Wike was one of a record 19 runners from the Central Okanagan to complete the 114th running of the Boston Marathon. Kelowna’s Pat Gable, running for the fourth time

in Boston, was the first local to cross the finish line 1,900th overall in 3:05:13. The 46-year-old Gable sliced nearly five minutes off his previous best time in Boston, while his wife, Corinne Gable, also set a personal best with a time of 3:32:06. “I set a goal for my time and my heart rate and hit them pretty much bang on, so I was very happy,” said Pat Gable. “Corrine set a goal of shaving one hour off her first marathon which was back in 2002, and she was able to do that. “The weather was fantastic, too,” added Gable. “It was a great day.” One of the top individual age group performances from a Kelowna

runner was delivered by Laurelee Welder who finished 15th out of 334 athletes in the women’s 55 to 59 division. Welder, competing in her first Boston Marathon, came across the line in 3:34:48. Results for other Kelowna and area runners were: Curtis Schreiber, 3:14:57; Rod Franzen, 3:18:50; Gordie Carr, 3:23:12; Danita Schreiber, 3:32:55; Tricia Nottebrock, 3:37:53; Corinne Litchfield, 3:39:47; Alana Jordan, 3:43:52; Kim Baldassare, 3:49:50; Shane Cameron, 4:00:15; Kirsty Thompson, 4:24:26; Charlotte Heidt, 4:27:24; Donna Kowbel, 4:30:05; and Clark Smith, 4:36:57. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Leone said players of McKinnon’s talent and drive are a rare breed. “As a ’94, a first-year player, she had a tremendous impact on the team and on the league,” said Leone. “In my 22 years of coaching, I’ve seldom seen a player of her age who made that big of an impact. “Julia has good speed and acceleration, she has a great desire to get the puck , and her hunger for scoring is not that common. She also has good size and strength and uses it well. “We’re excited to watch her as she continues

makes things happen by pinching-in, and she had a good one-time shot. She was a tremendous asset to our hockey team.” Players were selected to the all-star team based on voting by the league’s coaches. With McKinnon and Casorso playing key roles, Thompson Okanagan finished tied for first in the B.C. Female Midget AAA loop with a 14-3-1 record. The Rockets then went unbeaten to win the B.C. championship in Prince George, before losing out in the Pacific regional final to the Edmonton Thunder.

Owls 9th at 7s The Kelowna Owls turned in their best effort ever at the B.C. School Sports senior rugby 7s provincial championship. The Owls placed ninth out of 16 teams last weekend at St. Georges in Vancouver, the third straight year KSS has cracked the top 10. The Owls started slowly in inclement weather losing by two points to Aldergrove, then split their next two games on Saturday, rallying to defeat West Van and losing by 10 to Merritt. But the Owls kicked their game into high gear on Sunday with shutout wins over Rutland and Tweedsmuir by 48-0 and 43-0 scores. Then in the Bowl Final, KSS downed West Van 35-5 to take ninth

spot, the best Okanagan finish ever. In addition, the Owls were cited for their fair play and were named the most sportsmanlike team at provincials. “We had an awesome tourney,” said Owls coach Dave Marfleet. “The Grade 12s led the team well and the Grade 11s rose to the occasion.” Starters on this years team were Jayce Hewko, James Scott, Xavier Semeniuk, Adrian Semeniuk, Kyle Patchell, Keith Klotz and Graham Fawcett with reserves Max Grayston, Bryce Stirling, Tyler Pilon, Hayden Miller and Marty Wallace. In Southern Interior AAA action this week, the Owls pushed their league record to 3-0 with a 19-14 win over Salmon Arm.

More than two months removed from its last competitive game, the Kelly Scott rink didn’t give the impression of being a rusty, out-of-synch team. The Kelowna curlers were in midseason form as they reached the playoffs last weekend at the Grey Power Players’ Championship in Dawson Creek. Scott, third Jeanna Schraeder, second Sasha Carter and lead Jacquie Armstrong posted a 3-and-1 record in the final event of the season on the Capital One Grand Slam of Curling series. In addition to picking up $7,000 for reaching the quarterfinals, the tScott team collected an extra $10,000 bonus for finishing third overall in the Capital One women’s standings. The Scott team— which hadn’t played a competitive game since the playoffs at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Sault Ste. Marie in early February—defeated Winrnipeg’s Kerri Flett (6-4), 2010 Canadian champion Jennifer Jones (6-2) and Calgary’s Shannon Kleibrink (7-6), before dropping a 6-4 decision to Alberta’s Crystal Webster in the round of eight. It was a productive, yet relaxing conclusion to another busy season for the 2006 and 2007 national champs. “It was very encouraging,” said Sasha Cart-

Kelly Scott er. “We hadn’t played for so long, we went out there with limited expectations, we wanted to have some fun and just see what shakes out. “It was almost back to basics…we were patient with ourselves and because it was the last event of the season we were able to enjoy it. It was a good way to end.” The Scott rink had a solid season on the World Curling Tour finishing third overall—winning in Winnipeg, taking second in Regina and reaching the semifinals in Vernon. The Kelowna curlers struggled at the Olympic trials, but bounced back with the B.C. championship and a fourth-place showing at the Scotties. On the men’s side of the Grey Power Players’ Championship,Kelowna’s Bob Ursel opened with an 8-3 win over Sweden’s Niklas Edin, then lost his last three games to Kevin Martin, Jeff Stoughton and Mike McEwen. On the Kelowna team, Ty Griffith filled in at second for Kevin Folk, who had prior commitments, while Jim Cotter

Baxters poured it on in the second half but were unable to beat Paul Hart who recorded the shut out. In other action, Gord Howard scored twice as the Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels shut down Salmon Arm 3-0 at Marshall #2. Defender Jim Mottus opened the humpbacks’ offence at 17 minutes heading in a gorgeous left-footed cross from the far right side by defender Rob Parkin. See Over 45 B24

Kelowna Cantinas draw first blood but opposition gets the last laugh Over 45 from A23 Dave Dutcher directed traffic and handled the ball with authority for the shutout. North Country scored early and often against Rutland and went on to a 10-0 victory. Strikers Greg Bevandick and Will Kruiper each scored two goals and striker Randy Baum also scored one, then they were moved on to defense as the usual defenders got to do some running up front. Two of them, Lionel Hoffmann and Richard Lowe scored their first goals of the season. Other North Country goals were scored by Chris Odermatt, Matt Cherrille and Mike Francis. Marty Vincze picked

up the shut out. For the second week in a row, Kelowna Cantinas drew first blood only to see the opposition enjoy the last laugh as they fell 5-2 to Penticton United at Parkinson Sportsfields. Jim Murphy opened the scoring early in the first half when he spotted Penticton goalie Mike Killick off the line and dropped a crafty chip behind him. Penticton soon equalized when Tony Munoz broke through the Cantinas back line to hammer a low shot off the inside of Gerhard Dachwitz’s right post. Cantinas took the lead again when John Schwaiger outmuscled a Penticton defender to head home a Greg Hofmann cross but Penticton

battled back with goals from Peter Toth, Tony Dias, Terry Grady and Ken Horncastle to record the win. Okanagan Spring got

their first win with a 3-0 win over Lake Country. Mike Lloyd opened the scoring 20 minutes in, then Chris Neilson made it 2-0 on a great pass from

Denis Chabot. Half way through the second half, Bob Fleming set up Mattius Gohl for a tap-in. Roger Irving stopped a penalty kick with 15 min-

utes left. Akbal Mund and Gord Campbell shared the shutout with Roger Irving. Vernon Silver Stars and Big O Tire battled to a

scoreless draw at Marshall #1. Ted Lurkins for the Stars and Jorgen Kongsdorf for Big O recorded the shutouts.

stars in The Back-up Plan, a romantic comedy about a woman who, tired of waiting for Mr. Right, gets pregnant on her own, only to meet the man of her dreams the very same day.

▼ MOVIE PREVIEWS

Lopez’ charisma should carry Back-up Plan

am taking a small break from my month of Gunless because there are four new movies opening this weekend. But I am going to take a moment to use a tactic that has been unsuccessful in getting people to watch Canadian-made movies for decades. Forget that it is a comedywestern starring Paul Gross as an American gunslinger who can’t find a decent gun fight in Canada. Forget that it was filmed just south of us in Osoyoos. If you do not see Gunless, you are a bad Canadian. (There. I said it. Guilt always works on Canadians.) Opening this week is The Back-up Plan, in which Jennifer Lopez plays a single woman desperate for a child.

MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis She decides that it is taking too long to find “the one,” so she decides to go it alone and become pregnant through artificial insemination. The day of her appointment she meets a man with real possibilities, but trying to nurture a budding relationship and hide the early signs of pregnancy becomes a comedy of errors. Although it looks like a predictable romantic comedy, Lopez has a charisma on-screen that made movies like

The Wedding Planner and Maid in Manhattan thoroughly enjoyable to watch. On the opposite end of the romantic comedy scale there is Greenburg. I would expect that it is not predictable, not light and bubbly and not necessarily one that will have you laughing in the aisle, even though it stars Ben Stiller. He stars as Roger Greenberg, a 40-yearold single man who has just lost his job and finds himself house-sitting for his more successful-inlife brother. Hoping for a fresh start on life, he tries to reconnect with old friends but finds that they are not who they used to be and is soon spending time with his brother’s personal assistant who could be described as a

lost soul-mate. Directed and co-written by Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale, Margot at the Wedding), it is a movie for those who like more “huh” than “hah” in their comedies. Most critics like it but are torn about how this movie is both funny and sad at the same time. The Losers looks to be an over-the-top action movie about an elite U.S. Special Forces unit which makes plans for revenge after being betrayed and left for dead. Based upon the DC Vertigo comic by writer Andy Diggle and artist Jock, it stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Comedian in The Watchmen), Chris Evans (The Fantastic Four), Zoe Saldana (Star Trek, Avatar) and

Jason Patric. Like Disneynature’s Earth last year, Oceans was released yesterday to coincide with Earth Day. It features spectacular never-before-seen imagery that reportedly took four years to film in more than 50 places, documenting the amazing creatures, harsh realities and the mysteries that lie beneath the sea. Narrated by Pierce Brosnan for English audiences, this unprecedented look beneath what covers three-quarters of the Earth’s surface has already earned $50 million worldwide.

▼ OUR VIEW

Bring health care costs in line

.C. is recognized as one of the world’s leaders in health care. There’s no question there are challenges and horror stories, but ultimately, our hospitals deliver excellent care. The problem is the cost. Health care expenses are spiralling exponentially, doubling every decade. It’s no surprise then that the province is rolling out a new funding model for our biggest hospitals—23 in all, including Kelowna General Hos-

pital. In short, the previous system of block grants will be replaced by a system of pay for performance for certain surgeries and procedures — more people being treated more efficiently means lower costs. But fast is not always most efficient. The obvious hazards are the potential for competition for patients and the risk of patients being sent home before they’re ready to free up beds. Those risks cannot be dismissed and will require rigorous

monitoring to ensure standards are upheld. Yet we must remember that the procedures involved for this system of payment are not lifeand-death. The pay-for-performance model would be limited to common surgeries, procedures and joint replacements, as well as emergency room efficiency. We must trust that health care professionals will continue to make decisions based on the best long-term health interests of the patient, not how much money is

being brought into the facility. Neither should this move be looked at as a grand experiment. It was previously implemented in other jurisdictions and went through pilot projects in the Lower Mainland’s busiest hospitals, with impressive results, according to the health ministry. But what is most clear is that the current funding system is not sustainable. Leaving costs to continue spiralling is as great a risk, if not greater, than trying to bring them under control.

Vander Zalm’s anti-HST lemmings headed for a cliff

hose of us old enough to remember the introduction of the GST in 1991 can find a warm feeling of nostalgia in today’s political argument over its logical extension, the HST. No wait, that’s not nostalgia. It’s nausea. Then-prime minister Brian Mulroney’s “hated” GST was proposed to be nine per cent, then brought in at seven amid a storm of unfocused outrage. It was sure to destroy the country, or whatever was left of it after the North American Free Trade Agreement. Mulroney handed off to B.C.’s own Kim Campbell, too late. Jean

Chrétien’s Liberals crushed the Progressive Conservatives in 1993, chiefly by promising to replace the GST with a better tax, or a fairer tax, or something. They floated an alternative, aptly named BST, but it was all just a show for the poor dumb folks. Here’s how dumb Canada was, not even 20 years ago. The GST replaced a 14-per-cent manufacturers’ sales tax that was imposed on our own industries, but not on imports. Then we stood around in our

dirt-glazed lumberjack shirts, Molson stubbies in hand, and wondered why we’re still hewing wood and drawing water for the world. Now B.C. voters Tom tell pollsters they’re Fletcher going to give the Kim Campbell treatment to Gordon Campbell, and elect the NDP to keep taxes down. A radio station does person-in-the-street interviews. Two out of three people don’t know what the HST is. The third is against it. Unlike Chrétien, NDP leader Carole James doesn’t promise to repeal

VICTORIA VIEWS

the HST, at least not right away. We’re stuck with it for five years, she says. The best bet is to stop it now, even though the province can’t change a federal law. NDP MLAs have awkwardly joined up with Bill Vander Zalm’s petition drive, in the great tradition of running to the front of the day’s parade. They did it with the carbon tax too. They’ve turned into a reactionary force, confronting a flood of B.C. Liberal innovations, with none of their own. No one really knows what a successful petition would mean, although the best guess is, not much. Vander Zalm doesn’t promote an

NDP government. That would be a hill too far even for him. He made a career out of fighting Ottawa, over the GST, abortion and French on Corn Flakes boxes, and this is more of the same. At anti-HST rallies around the province, Vander Zalm talks openly about a conspiracy to impose global government. Canada’s doing the HST, they’ll talk U.S. President Barack Obama into it, and the next thing you know we’ll be merged with the European Union and B.C.’s tax rate will be set not in Ottawa, but in Brussels. Vander Zalm says the HST will See Fletcher A21

LETTERS

SUNDOWNR SAUSAGE

▼ MISINFORMED MLA

Manufacturers don’t pay PST on materials To the editor: In the April 16 edition of the Capital News, on page A28, Mr. Letnick has his MLA’s report once again expounding the virtues of the HST. (Different Slant On The HST) In that report he says that when we purchase a new couch “as it stands, PST is charged at every stage of production.” He goes on to inform us that we also pay PST

on the frame, the fabric, the tools and equipment used in assembly, and every last stitch and button.” I hesitate to call anyone a liar so let us assume Mr. Letnick is misinformed and has not had time to research how PST applies to various industries. He, and everyone else with an Internet connection has access to consumer taxation bulletin

SST 054. Just to help here is the address: http://www. sbr.gov.bc.ca/documents_ library/bulletins/sst_054. pdf. To save wading through the whole thing the first few pages detail how tools and equipment are exempt from PST— the first misinformation, (see tools and equipment above). Skip to page 21 and read the short section headed: Materials Incor-

porated into a Finished Product. Two paragraphs, simple statement: “…you do not pay PST when you purchase goods that will be processed, fabricated, or manufactured into, attached to, or incorporated into other goods for resale or lease.” You don’t even need a PST number, a form FIN 453 will do the trick. May we expect a retraction from Mr. Let-

▼ PST VS HST

MLA woefully misinformed To the editor: I am appalled at the misinformation in MLA Norm Letnick’s column. Either Mr. Letnick is woefully uninformed at how the current PST works or he is deliberately misleading the public. A quote from this column: “As it stands, PST is charged at every stage of production. For example, if you purchase a new couch you currently pay both PST and GST on the final purchase price. However you also pay PST on the frame, the fabric, the stuffing, the tools and equipment used in assembly and every last stitch and button. The HST eliminates these hidden PST costs. Consumers will not pay the PST anymore.” 1. If manufactured in B.C. (unlikely), then the retailer purchasing the couch would not pay PST on

the purchase of the couch from the manufacturer. Goods purchased for resale are PST exempt. 2. The B.C. manufacturer of the couch would also not pay PST on the frame, the stuffing, the stitches or buttons for the same reason (resale). 3. If manufactured in another country, for example China (likely), then the importer would not pay PST because it was purchased for resale. 4. The manufacturer would also not pay PST on any tools or equipment used in making the couch if the manufacturer is not located in B.C. Most consumer goods that we currently purchase are not manufactured in B.C. 5. Labour costs (the stitches) are also PST exempt. 6. The only person who current-

ly pays PST on goods is the end purchaser. There are no hidden PST costs in this example. He is correct with his last sentence, consumers will not pay the PST anymore, but this is misleading. Consumers do not save any money in this scenario: 12 per cent HST vs. 12 per cent PST/GST on goods and 12 per cent HST vs 5 per cent GST on services (7 per cent increase). This 7 per cent increase in the cost of services—like haircuts, maintenance and repair labour, and some medical services and equipment—will hit seniors, low income working people and people on fixed incomes the hardest. Remember these statements next election time and ask yourself if this is the type of government representation you want. Shari McDowell, Kelowna

‘Street sweeper’ can’t sanitize hospital To the editor: This letter is a compliment and a curse. My wife recently spent a long stay in the Kelowna Hospital, and I wish to say a real thanks to a staff who does a good job despite the odds. These odds I refer to are the below standard cleaning job that is done by their “street cleaning” machine, and other methods used to keep the hospital

clean. When they say “clean as an operating room” this does not ring true. The use of a machine like a street sweeper that does a fine job of moving dirt, but not cleaning—it’s sort of like a fertilizer spreader. It is about time that the old fashioned methods which our government does not believe in should be used again. Contracting out is a

slip shod method, used to cut costs, and spread the germs, flu bugs, etc., which both my wife and I somehow tangled with since being at the hospital. I know costs today are great, but where cleanliness in a hospital is concerned, there is no dollar sign on a person’s life. But this does appear to be the case, where our administrating bodies are concerned.

I hope that my few words can convey a thought in the right direction so that all the building going on at our hospital will bear fruit in the results of a “cleanly” run institution that we can be proud of and it should not be cleaned by a street sweeper. Ron Barnard, Westbank

nick? Probably not. Can we expect a comment in the Cap News, maybe. Technically Mr. Letnick is correct—if (big if) the manufacturer does not have $30,000 in annual manufactured costs. Find me the couch manufacturer that does not qualify and is still in business. Neil & Patricia Martin, Kelowna

HST will hit low income earners, and seniors To the editor: Re: Norm Letnick column, Liberal MLA for Kelowna Lake Country. You know what really hurts? Telling us the majority of items will not cost more under the HST application, suggesting to me we must be stupid to believe this. I have a list showing 70 items which will cost us more. Just think for a minute about 70 items. You are wasting your time, Mr. Letnick. Instead you should stand up and be counted and fight to have this hated tax cancelled and for once do the bidding of your constituents. You might be interested that the volunteer who was helping with the petition in our area stated that not one person refused to sign the petition against the HST. Give it up Mr. Letnick. Hopefully at election time, we can get rid of that whole Liberal gang once and for all. D. F. Breen, Westbank

Global gov’t a conspiracy theory Express yourself Fletcher from A20 once again till the soil for a third provincial party, presumably the B.C. Conservatives under his sidekick Chris Delaney. (Chris who? Never mind.) In 1999, Vander Zalm ran for the fledgling Reform B.C. in a Delta South by-election and was trounced by Val Roddick. He entered politics

in the 1970s claiming to be both a federal and provincial Liberal, presumably because that was the vehicle he found with the keys in it. Here’s the central reason that B.C. in 2010 needs to move to a consumption tax. The baby boomers are retiring. There won’t be enough people paying income tax to support them. This is

not a prediction. As the engineer aboard the Titanic said, it is a mathematical certainty. You might want to check the rising water before you sign a petition. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Spring Culimaria ready to pump up the volume again Last year one sold out culinary event had mouths wagging and minds tingling for weeks following. That event was Spring Culinaria. On May 13, the Okanagan Institute and Okanagan College cohost the much-anticipated sequel. This tantalizing evening takes participants even deeper into the vast terrain of artisanal food and drink this region has to offer—from the orchards dotting the sunkissed desert landscape surrounding Anarchist Mountain to the verdant hills of Naramata Bench, up through the rich soils of the Central Okanagan and into the rolling hills of Enderby. Refreshing the Palate is all about food, but perhaps more importantly it’s about what it really means to live and breathe the essence of this valley. Giving voice to that song will be the soulful sounds of Kelowna’s own Barb Samuel, along with her band Sista B and the Boyz. “It’s a joy for me to perform for this event,” says Samuel, who has

charmed audiences around North America, including a transfixed crowd of 2500 when Deepak Chopra came to Kamloops in 2008. Samuel’s style is reminiscent of American artist Alicia Keys. Like Keys, Samuel came to music early in life—starting out with classical. Her father was a cellist with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and the San Francisco Philharmonic, so it was natural that Samuel picked up the flute and performed with the Edmonton Youth Orchestra. But her mother loved Motown and R&B, and now that Samuel has settled into her own voice, she’s like an angel on steroids, gently soothing her audience when she flies acoustic, or soaring with them as she takes to new heights, her rock-based band backing her every step of the way. Samuel will be treating the Culinaria audience to both her styles— acoustic light-jazz at the pre-dinner, followed by an after dinner performance that will make dancing irresistible. “The intensity is there

no matter what we’re playing. People say I’m dialled into 11 all the time,” she laughs. “I love doing this because I get to feed off the audience and I’m simply moved to answer.” Samuel’s band started life as the house band for the Centre for Spiritual Living, where she continues to be the musical director and staff minister. Five years ago, the group went public and have been regularly playing gigs ever since. Accompanying Samuel are “the Boyz”: Neal Klassen (lead guitar, piano and vocals), David Knapp (drummer, vocals), and Kevin Zacharias (bass). Tickets for Refreshing the Palate are $60 per person and limited to 120 guests. Tickets can be purchased through the Okanagan Institute at www. okanaganinstitute.com. Culinaria is one of the signature events of the Okanagan Institute’s Express Series which has been running since July 2007. Express regularly takes place Thursdays at 5 p.m. at the Bohemian Cafe in Kelowna. .

▼ WHERE DID IT GO?

Finding things that disappear into a home’s ‘black hole’ M

y daughter with the best memory and organizational skills in the family lost her piano books several weeks ago. So, she did what any person who thinks she’s superior because normally she doesn’t lose things and this is just a teensy aberration in her otherwise gleaming record—she blamed her sister and me. It was a clever tactic, but it didn’t fly. “Where did you put them?” she accused us. “Like, we would do that on purpose,” the younger one countered, which didn’t make sense, because that is exactly something we would do. “I haven’t got time rto deliberately hide your books,” I said reasonably. “You have to help me look for them,” she pleaded. Her sister and I were perplexed and smug at the same time. “Why?” we asked innocently. “Because I could find them if I had a little help.” The sympathy was palpable. t “You never help me find my stuff, so why should I help you?” my youngest said. “You lost ‘em; you find ‘em,” I put in. She had been haughty about her lack-of-losingthings streak and it was kicking her back now. The truth is that our house, like most houses—except for those ones owned by really neat and smart people—has a gaping but invisible black hole that sucks up things at random in a deliberate attempt to drive us all batty. We’ve lost collectively the contents of a small drug store. Besides the usual lipsticks and earrings that go missing—those are a

NUTSHELL

Shelley Nicholl given—we’ve lost a camera, a phone charger, an iPod, bathing suit bottoms (not ours), the box of steak knives and our minds. Perhaps it’s an experiment by aliens. On some far away planet, they are monitoring our reactions as their implanted tiny aliens take pens off the desk, slide important papers that must be signed immediately under the couch and take the mustard you are sure you just brought out of the fridge. I once found a long overdue library book under the rug in the living room. That was a good one. Every time we have a hurricane, it’s the guffaws from alien laughter, light years away. Now, I admit, it is comical when a child loses something. As the mom, I have the right to chastise, go into a long lecture about them being more responsible and ground them from watching TV or something. I watch them frantically scramble about the house looking for the missing item. Amateurs. I start right in: “It’s gotta be in the house somewhere. It doesn’t have legs of its own.” I love that one. It’s timeless. “Remember when you last saw it,” I advise. “Retrace your steps and it should turn up somewhere.” By this time, they are so wound up, the last time they can remember seeing anything was two years ago.

Of course, if you’ve seen their bedrooms, you wonder how they can find anything. It’s especially joyous for a parent when a child finds something in the first place you suggest. “Didn’t I say it was in the bathroom? Huh? Huh?” I goad. “Imagine finding your hairbrush actually in the bathroom,

rather than, say, the living room where it usually is.” It’s like a big silly game and the prize is actually finding something. But, the worst of it is when you lose something yourself…Ahem, let me clarify. Parents don’t lose things; they misplace things because they are so busy remembering who needs to go to dance, soc-

cer or school at what time with what gear, what are the ingredients in scrambled eggs and everyone’s social calendar. Always remember to guilt your children first when you can’t find something. “If you two would clean up after yourselves more often, I’d be able to find the car keys.” Or

the last cackle. The books were in her room, under a pile of dirty laundry. No, I didn’t hide them there; I thought I hid them in the kitchen drawer. Darn aliens. Shelley Nicholl owns Mad Squid media-pr, which provides media, public relations and writing services. madsquid@shaw.ca

Kelowna couple gives abused pig a new life There’s puppy love, and then there’s piggy love. The latter came over a pig named Eddie during his recent stay in a Kelowna foster home with SPCA volunteers Jesse Legroulx and Lindsay Kern. “We weren’t sure how they would react to each other,” said Legroulx, about Eddie’s introduction to the couple’s resident pig, Fergie. “But two days later, they had pushed through

the gate and were hanging out. And by the end of the week, Eddie stopped sleeping in his pen and started bunking with Fergie.” Eddie and Fergie also enjoyed hanging out with Otis, the couple’s pet goat, and several horses. Eddie, Fergie and Otis would play together all morning until supper time, then come for dinner when summoned. At night, Eddie and Fergie slept in a heated

straw house inside a stall. “The only trouble we had was trying to keep Otis out of their pen at night,” joked Legroulx. Legroulx and Kern were asked to foster Eddie after he arrived at the SPCA underweight, sunburnt and fearful of people. The non-profit society relies heavily on a network of foster guardians to help animals like Eddie who require special care, as well as animals

who are too young or who need the increased socialization that only a foster home can provide. Animals recovering from injury are also often fostered. The SPCA provides food and medical care to fostered animals, but foster families provide the TLC necessary to prepare the animals for adoption. “We had already been toying with the idea of getting a friend for Fergie when we received the

call about Eddie,” said Legroulx. “I guess it was meant to be.” During his stay at the ranch, Eddie gained weight and his sunburn healed after a week of aloe treatments by the foster couple. Eddie also became much less afraid of people. Legroulx is a professional photographer while Kern is a horse trainer and riding coach. Their careers allow them to give extra atten-

tion to the animals. “We really share a passion for animals and are glad to help in any way.” Legroulx is one of the SPCA’s 4,000 volunteers in B.C. who work in countless capacities,, from walking dogs and cuddling cats to organizing events and fundraising. The SPCA salutes these essential volunteers during National Volunteer Week April 18 to 24. To become a Kelowna SPCA animal shelter volunteer, call 250-8617722.

Greg Hoekstra CONTRIBUTOR

If there’s one person who understands what a difference a helping hand can make, it’s Dean Duperron. Four decades ago Duperron was a teenager living on the streets, begging for spare change in order to survive. Now, the 53-year-old is the president of Sprott-Shaw College—one of Canada’s oldest and most successful post-secondary institutions—all because a fast-food restaurant decided to give him a chance to prove himself as a part-time janitor. That single event created a chain reaction that Duperron says allowed him to transform his life. Years later, Duperron has decided to “pay it forward” by pledging $1 million in full scholarships to 10 recipients from across the globe. f Last week Duperron, along with other officials from Sprott-Shaw, held a welcoming ceremony for the winners of the Class Act Canada scholarship contest—an innovative program that challenged entrants to upload a 60- to 90-second video to the Internet outlining: “What I would do with a degree or diploma from Sprott-Shaw College.” The 10 winning students, from countries including Peru, Ukraine, India, Korea, Philippines and Canarda, were selected by judges after more than 7.7 million votes were cast worldwide between September and December of last year. r On Wednesday, the winning students were officially awarded an all-expenses paid education at a SprottShaw campus in B.C., including books and tuition, airfare to and from their hometown, food and lodging, and transportation to and from campus. Each scholarship is valued at $100,000. During last week’s welcoming ceremony, Duperron says he was moved to tears upon realizing the impact the scholarships will have on the recipients’ lives. “I’ve spoken in front of plenty of crowds before, but last week I just found it overwhelming to see these people from all over the world about to take another step toward their dream,” he says. “All of a sudden I found myself crying. I had to choke just to get the first sentence out.” As Duperron sees it, education is a powerful tool that can empower the less fortunate to build a new life for themselves. “I think a lot of what happens in your life is defined by happenstance. But education is the one thing that allows you to choose the person you want to become,” he says. “Money doesn’t stop the clock, it only pauses it. What we’re trying to do here is pause the clock long enough to allow these people to achieve something that will truly change their lives.” According to statistics from Google, the Class Act Canada competition received votes from Internet users in all but nine countries across the globe. After two rounds of voting by the public, the final winners were chosen by a selection of judges based on their videos, their ideals, and their plans to use their education to better the lives of those around them. To view videos of the 10 scholarship winners, including Anderson, or for more information on Class Act Canada, visit www.classactcanada.com.

Nothing boxy about all-new 2010 Tucson CUV Neil Moore CONTRIBUTOR

CONTRIBUTED

ALL-NEW FOR 2010, the Tucson CUV is designed and engineered in Europe, employing Hyundai’s Fluidic Sculpture design philosophy that emphasizes athleticism and sophistication.

When I first saw the 2010 Tucson, I was surprised it was such a headturner. Not that its predecessor was ugly, but that for this kind of vehicle, and at its price, I didn’t expect such an upscale look. But hey, this is Hyundai, the company that has gone from cheap and homely to well priced and well made in just over two decades. So I shouldn’t have been shocked that the new Tucson has leap-frogged its competition in terms of style. The all-new 2010 model is Hyundai’s first CUV to be designed and engineered in Europe. It employs Hyundai’s Fluidic Sculpture design philosophy, which emphasizes athleticism and sophistication, seen in its flowing lines and bold, graphic elements. These include the familial hexagonal front grille, aggressive lower air intake, sculptured hood creases, swept back head-

lights and wraparound taillights. The sleek greenhouse, with its sloped roofline and tapered rear windows, is more what you’d expect in a sports sedan than in a typically boxy CUV. My tester was an AWD version in base trim that included bland 17-inch steel wheels and covers that did nothing to complement the Tucson’s otherwise chic exterior. Fortunately, you can also get 17- and 18-inch alloys at higher trim levels. The 2010 Tucson is bigger than its predecessor—75 mm (3.3 inches) longer and 25mm (one inch) wider. Yet thanks to its widespread use of highstrength steel, it is 28kg (61 pounds) lighter. With a svelte curb weight of only 1453 kg and with 176 hp (and 168 lb/ft of torque), it has a better power-to-weight ratio than its main competitors: Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Subaru Forester, Nissan Rogue and Ford Escape.

Good power from new 4 Hyundai from B1 Tucson is Hyundai’s Theta II 2.4-litre, 16-valve DOHC inline four-cylinder engine. It replaces last generation’s four- and six-cylinder engines, delivering nearly the same power and acceleration as the former 2.7-litre V6 and providing 20 per cent better fuel economy than the old four. Rated at 9.0/6.3L/100km city/ highway with the sixspeed automatic (FWD),

it is more fuel-efficient than CRV, Rogue, RAV4 and Escape. And with allwheel-drive, it is rated at 9.8/7.1L/100km city/hwy, besting most of its AWD competitors. For 2011, the Tucson gets a six-speed automatic instead of a fivespeed, which is 12 kg lighter and has 62 fewer parts. The transmission fluid is good for the life of the vehicle (under normal usage), reducing maintenance costs. You can also get a sixspeed manual in the base front-driver, which starts at $22,999 and comes equipped with a surprisingly long list of standard features. These include power windows and locks, power heated mirrors, remote keyless entry, air conditioning, six-speaker AM/FM/Aux/CD/MP3 audio system with steering wheel controls, and trip computer.

A nice surprise was the standard-equipped Bluetooth hands-free phone system with voice recognition. Other manufacturers could learn from Hyundai and start including this at their base trim levels. What really struck me were the standard safety items. Sure, you can now expect four-wheel discs with ABS, brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution. And it seems that a lot of vehicles now come standard with six airbags. But all Tucsons also get traction control and electronic stability control (ESC)—features that are usually found at higher trim levels. ESC in particular is a proven lifesaver, significantly lowering the risk of fatal collisions and rollovers. All vehicles, especially SUVs and crossSee Hyundai B5

Hyundai from B4 overs, should start including these as standard equipment. Additionally, all Tucsons get Downhill Brake Control (DBC) and Hillstart Assist Control (HAC). HAC minimizes rollback when starting on an incline, and DBC, which monitors sensors for wheel speed, steering angle and acceleration, maintains a slow steady speed on steep declines twithout having to use the brake. These are features often found on higher-priced SUVs, not ones starting in the $20k range. There are two more FWD trim levels: the GL automatic at $24,299 and GLS automatic at t$26,799. GLS is where you’ll find such features as heated seats, upgraded audio system, alloy wheels and more. k Tucson’s AWD models are where content levels really climb. Other than having cruise control, my test vehicle (GL AWD automatic at $26, 699) had little more than the base front driver, but at the GLS AWD ($28,999), Limited ($32,449) and Limited with Navigation ($34,449), offer plenty of comfort and convenience items for those with the budget. In top trim, the Tucson can be had with leather seating, panoramic sunroof, 6.5-inch touch screen navigation, rearview camera, seven-speaker AM/ FM/XM/CD/MP3/AUX w/ external amplifier, eight-way power driver’s seat, and 18-inch alloys. No matter which Tucson you buy, seating is comfortable and well bolstered, and there’s a surprising amount of rear seat legroom—even with the front seats positioned well back. Behind the rear seats, you’ll find 728 litres of cargo space, but drop the 60/40 split fold seatbacks and there’s 1580 litres of capacity, which is 13 per cent greater than its predecessor and more than you’d get in the Infiniti FX. Tucson has also improved some of its storage options. For example, the centre console has more than doubled in size at six litres, and in back, there’s a tray to keep things organized. A dual-sided cargo floor with carpet on one side and plastic on the other makes for easy cleaning. Suspension is MacPherson struts in front and multi-link in rear with thicker stabilizer bars. Despite the Tucson’s CUV architecture, ride is surprisingly car-like, with

minimal lean in corners. One feature I liked is the “Eco Indicator” located between the speedo and tach. It displays a green LED light when you’re driving fuel efficiently, and Hyundai claims it can help you save 15 to 17 per cent in fuel. There have typically been tradeoffs when choosing an SUV or crossover instead of a sedan, but as these vehicles have evolved—especially CUVs—the sacrifices in ride, handling and fuel economy are becoming a thing of the past. And with the 2010 Hyundai Tucson, the same can be said with style.

THE 2010 FORTE (SX model shown) was one of the first of the new breed of Kia

vehicles to feature the company’s new family look that has transformed the image of the brand. Kias now make a statement inside of being wallflowers. A perfect example is the 2011 Forte sedan. It replaced the dowdy-looking Spectra with new engines, a new platform and that new look that started and continues to draw a lot of attention. The Forte comes in three trim levels (LX, EX and SX) and is built on an entirely new platform. With a longer wheelbase than the outgoing Spectra, it allowed engineers to increase the size of the interior package with room for five adults. The longer wheelbase also improves driving dynamics, while wider front and rear tracks increase stability on the road. Trunk space is also up 17 per cent compared with the Spectra to 415 litres, that Kia claims is the largest trunk capacity in its class. Built on a front-wheel drive unibody frame, Forte has an independ-

ent front suspension with MacPherson struts and a stabilizer bar and a torsion beam rear suspension with struts and coil springs. Two engines power the Forte. The LX and EX get a 2.0-litre DOHC inline four-cylinder, producing 156 hp and 144 lb/ft of torque. The top-of-the-line SX has a 2.4-litre inline fourcylinder engine, with 173 hp and 169 lb/ft of torque. A five-speed manual transmission or an optional four-speed automatic is available on the LX and EX. The SX gets a standard six-speed manual or an optional five-speed automatic with Sportmatic sequential manual shift. Pricing begins at $15,795 for the base LX ($16,995 with automatic and $18,295 with air conditioning) but don’t let the word “base” fool you. This car comes standard with six air bags, active front headrests, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, heated outside

mirrors, power windows and locks and even Bluetooth connectivity with steering wheel mounted control for it and the audio. The mid-level EX consists of four trim levels starting at $18,095 and ranging up to $20,095 with power sunroof among other goodies. With the EX you can expect standard features such as keyless entry, electronic stability control, 16-inch alloy wheels, heated front seats, manual air conditioning, steering wheel mounted cruise control, telescopic, leather-wrapped steering wheel, exterior chrome door handles and windshield wiper de-icer. The SX at $21,095 for the manual and $22,295 for the automatic (as tested) adds 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic climate control, metallic interior accents, leather seats, alloy sport pedals, Sirius See Kia B7

Kia from B6 satellite radio, power sunroof and trip computer. Even with the added power over the Spectra, fuel economy is impressive at 8.3L/100 km (34 mpg) city and 5.8L/100 km (49 mpg) highway with the manual transmission and 8.1/5.8L/100 km (35/49 mpg) with the automatic. SX fuel economy is 92/6.2L/100 km (31/46 mpg) city/highway for the manual and 9.0/6.3L/100 km (31/45 mpg) city/ highway. I’ve noted elsewhere in stories on Kia that the company is very adept at taking the same platform and drivetrains and turning out quite different cars. The Forte and the Soul share a lot under the skin and the same could be said about the Koup sporty car. With the Forte, the MacPherson independent front suspension and twist-beam rear result in a compliant ride more to the crisp side than boulevardier. The SX gets the Sport Tuned Suspension which means you get firmer springs and shock absorber valving. The result is an overall ride more like that of fa European car than a Japanese one.

In addition to ABS, electronic stability control is standard on the EX and SX models which is a pretty rich feature on a car starting out less than $20,000. Add in the warranty that covers the car, drivetrain and roadside assistance for five years/100,000 km and the Kia Forte has a lot to offer for not a lot of dough.

THE 2010 FORTE features a choice of two engines: a 2.0-litre four-cylinder with 156

er’s fingers. The steering wheel on the EX and SX tilts and telescopes which makes it easier for varying size drivers to get comfortable behind the wheel. Sight lines are good but the C-pillar does take up a lot of space when trying to reverse into a tight parking spot. The instrument panel has the speedo straight ahead with the tach to the left and fuel gauge to the right and all are backlit while the SX is enhanced by what Kia calls its “Supervision” cluster with white-blue illumination. The back seat can accommodate three adults

MOTORING â&#x2013;ź JEEP UNLIMITED RUBICON

For those who want their going tough Rob Beintema CONTRIBUTOR

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sorry, I hit a puddle,â&#x20AC;? the guy from Chrysler admitted somewhat sheepishly. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d watched him return from the car wash, the iconic Jeep shape recognizable from a distance, the deep shade of Red Rock Crystal Pearl glistening and shimmering in the light as he neared. The Jeep Wrangler Unlimitedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squared-off profile was polished and near picture-perfect. Umm, except for the mud splashed up the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side door. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about it,â&#x20AC;? I grinned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the beginning.â&#x20AC;? Because, as soon as I spotted that splash of mud, it occurred to me that, instead of the usual pristine poses, it would be more photographically fitting to take shots of the Jeep in its natural element. Dirty pictures, so to speak. Dirt seems to be magnetically attracted to Jeeps. Which is understandable when you consider the brandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s off-road pedigree, and the 70 year bloodline

of this battlefield-born, all-purpose sport ute. The Jeep Wrangler is easily recognized as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;classic Jeepâ&#x20AC;?. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unlimitedâ&#x20AC;? name, attached to a particular type of Jeep, refers to the recent addition of a stretched-out, four-dour version that first debuted as a 2007 model at the New York auto show, four years ago. At first glance, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited might not be considered particularly unique since, despite its larger dimensions, it meticulously follows the old formula and traditional styling cues of the original two-door. But Chrysler boasts that it is the only fourdoor, five-passenger SUV convertible on the market. And that specialized, SUV market, with true off-road emphasis, is fast becoming a monopoly, thanks to the thinning of the ranksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the diminishment of HUMMER and the uncertain future of Toyotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FJ Cruiser. With more room for passengers and payload, the four-door formula seems to be working. In fact, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d come to believe that I was seeing more

For 2010, Jeep has added equipment upgrades across the Wrangler Unlimited lineup. A new and improved Sunrider soft top, which includes a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sun roofâ&#x20AC;? and full top-down option, makes it easier to remove the roof for that open-air experience.

A Freedom Top threepiece modular hard top with removable panels is also available. Fog lamps, tow hooks, and a compass and outside temperature readout are now standard across the lineup. Jeep has also reworked the dome lamp, installed bigger sliding sun visors with mirrors, adjusted the exterior colour palette and, among option packages, is offering new wheel styles and a Uconnect phone and navigation system.

Rubicon smooths rough edges Jeep from B8 celerating. Boy, that’s some technology. If Jeep was really interested in fuel economy, they’d explore the rangeextended electric version they debuted in 2008, or bring over the 2.8-litre diesel that they offer in Europe and other markets. But, with the demise of the diesel in the Liberty, and with Fiat cleaning house, there’s not much chance of either happening. What the 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited does have under the hood is the familiar 3.8-litre V6 engine making 202 hp and 237 lb/ft. Those numbers sound diminutive, considering the Unlimited’s 1957 kg curb weight but the old tOHV V6 responded with a roar and I enjoyed it, probably because I was making the most of the power through a long-throw sixgear manual tranny that chucks delightfully into gear and vibrates at speed like a drunk at a revival meeting. This is just part of the Jeep’s trucky persona, along with the icontic rough edges—the traditional round headlamps, the folding windshield, the exposed hinges, heck, teven the overall old-fashioned, boxy utilitarian

body shape that remains as aerodynamic as an outhouse. But, as everyone knows, in a kind of reverse snobbery, Jeep owners wouldn’t have it any other way. The top-of-the-line Rubicon model that I tested went a long way to smoothing some of the rougher edges with twotone slate gray leather seating, an upgraded audio and navigation system and all the bells and whistles expected in a modern SUV. Most importantly, when it finally came to getting down and dirty, the 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon was equipped with Dana 44 heavy-duty front and rear axles, a 4.10 axle ratio, an Off-Road Rock-Trac NV241 two-speed transfer case, electric front- and rear-axle lockers, a buttonoperated electronic swaybar disconnect that allows for more wheel travel offroad, and big, knobby 255/75/17 Goodrich MudTerrain T/A tires. This combination of bush-bashing technologies leaves you clucking at just how much trouble you can get into and out of.

CONTRIBUTED

THE JEEP UNLIMITED RUBICON is equally at home on the highway or somewhere in the backcountry. It’s been upgraded for 2010 with a long list of standard and available features, pictured here in ultimate Rubicon trim level to smooth the road less traveled. Eventually, though, the fun came to an end and, as the mother of any five-year old will tell you, it’s a lot harder to get mud off than to it is to put it on. But, after thumbing a handful of twoonies into the spray ‘n wash and in-

terminable rinses, I had removed about ten kilos of mud, gravel and clumps of sod, and the renewed 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited was ready for its return to Chrysler Canada. It was shiny and clean, chrome glinting, body-

work gleaming like a newly-minted penny. Now, if only I hadn’t hit that puddle on the way back.

MOTORING ▼ KIA

Borrego has space for seven and towing power Lorne Drury CONTRIBUTOR

CONTRIBUTED

KIA’S BORREGO MIDSIZE SUV is a body-on-frame design, ideal for heavy towing and off-roading and with room for seven passengers.

LOWER OWER PRICES P % FINANCING NA ANCING NCING

FOR UP TO

60 MONTHS. ¹

It may be the right truck at the wrong time. That statement could very well sum up the fate of Kia’s mid-size Borrego SUV that arrived on the market in late 2008 as a 2009 model. Of course, that was just the time that auto sales began to tank with mid-size SUVs leading the nosedive thanks in part

to a run-up in fuel prices. Often when a manufacturer is late to the party with a vehicle it works in their favour, allowing them to take the best features of the leading contenders and use them as benchmarks for their new model. That should have been the case for Kia with the Borrego, which in itself is a solid, well-built vehicle. The problem for Kia is that people aren’t buying mid-size seven-passenger SUVs in the same numbers these days. Smaller crossovers (SUVs based on a car platform) have now taken over a big chunk of that market. The boxier, truck-style SUVs like the Borrego are much less in demand. But for those who still need a vehicle that can carry up to seven passengers and has lots of cargo room, the Borrego is a nice alternative to SUVs like the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, Ford Explorer and Hyundai Veracruz. The Borrego is available with two engine choices, a 276 hp 3.8-litre V6 or a 337 hp 4.6-litre V8. Both are available in LX and EX trim levels with a 4x4 system standard across the board. Prices start at $37,395 for the V6 LX, jumping to $41,395 for the V6 EX. The V8 LX starts at $39,895 and the V8 EX is $44,395. Add on a destination and delivery charge of $1,650 and a gas-guzzler tax of $200 for the V6 and $400 for the V8 (in Ontario only). The Borrego is a vehicle that should appeal to cottage-goers and drivers who pull a boat or travel trailer. It has off-road capability with a ground clearance of 217 mm (8.5 in) and the 3.8-litre V6 engine has a towing capacity of 2,268 kg (5,000 lb), while the 4.6-litre V8 will haul 3,402 kg (7,500 lb). Make no mistake, though, this is a big, heavy truck weighing 2,750 kg (6,063 lb) with the V6 and 2,800 kg (6,173 lb) with

the V8. As a result of this weight, fuel economy is not the best, with a highway rating of 9.4L/100 km (30 mpg) and 13.0L/100 km (22 mpg) city for the V6. The V8 is rated at 9.7L/100 km (29) highway and 14.4L/100 km (20) city. Both run on regular unleaded fuel. During my time with the Borrego I averaged just over 14L/100 km. My tester was a V6 EX model that has a full time torque-on-demand 4x4 system (the LX features a part-time 4x4 system), mated with a five-speed automatic transmission. A dial on the dash allows you to lock into 4Low or 4High depending upon the conditions. It sits on 18-inch alloy wheels and has dual automatic climate control, leather seats and trim, power driver’s seat, auto dimming rear view mirror, electric tilt/telescopic steering column, driver’s seat integrated memory system, power tilt and sliding sunroof, fog lights and various exterior chrome garnishes. Safety features included four-wheel anti-lock (ABS) brakes, electronic stability control, traction control, six airbags, downhill assist control and hill assent control. From a styling standpoint, I don’t feel the Borrego breaks any new ground. It looks much like so many other truck-based SUVs. It is not unattractive, but it just doesn’t stand out from the crowd. As for the interior, it is nicely finished with materials that appear to be more upscale than you normally find in a Kia. The seats are supportive and comfortable and the heating feature on the seats was sure nice on cool mornings. All the knobs and switches seemed easy to access on the dash. During my week with the Borrego, the V6 showed plenty of power for all driving situations, so much so that unless you See Kia B12

A penny per kilometre Zero from B13

CONTRIBUTED

THE 2010 ZERO S MOTORCYCLES is a high performance supermoto urban electric motorcycle.

less than a penny per kilometre and the battery recharges within four hours through an ordinary 110V household outlet. So, on a theoretical daily trip to work and back, the battery could be topped up for the trip home by lunchtime. Compared to previous bikes, this new Zero S flagship, a street-legal supermoto, has more power, increased acceleration, and enhanced power pack technology. The battery offers roughly two times the capacity of earli-

er versions and it is based on Canadian content, its lithium-ion cells produced by E-One Moli Energy in Maple Ridge, B.C. “The Zero S continues to be the most advanced production electric motorcycle on the market, and enhancements for 2010 make it faster, more durable and better looking,” said Gene Banman, CEO Zero Motorcycles. “With significant performance improvements, the Zero S is ideal for urban riding and short trips on the freeway. Not only will the Zero S have more range and power,

but it’s more fun and comfortable to ride.” Central to Zero S performance improvement is the revolutionary Z-Force Air Induction System. The newly developed system allows Zero to produce more horsepower from a light and compact motor by increasing airflow through the heart of the motor. It’s hard to equate electric power with a normal performance rating but the Zero S makes the equivalent of 32 hp across the entire power band, really more the equivalent of about 50 hp in a gaspowered motorcycle. And when you combine that torque-heavy electric power with the lightweight mass of a 123.8 kg (273 lb) curb weight, you get an eager and responsive power-toweigh ratio. And, yes, the company hints, the Zero S will do wheelies. Along with the techno upgrades for 2010, customers can now choose between color graphic packages or stick with Zero’s classic white on all four models. The new seat options on the Zero S were specially redesigned by Corbin to provide a more comfortable and performance-oriented ride. A Corbin low seat option is also available. These esthetic changes are just small things but, combined with Zero’s supermoto shape and its signature exposed twin spar, aircraft grade alloy frame, they go a long way to eliminating any electric bike nerd factor and boosting this motorcycle’s style and sex appeal.

Enough so that I persuaded the guys at the Zero booth to sneak one out the show’s side doors for a brief introductory ride. Turn the key, and the Zero S takes a few moments to awaken its circuits before the speedo needle spins and indicator lights signal that the bike is ready to ride. The red kill switch is at your right thumb, much like any other bike. Other controls are familiar as well—the right grip lever for front braking and right foot pedal for rear braking. The brakes are not linked. Regenerative braking is also not offered because the theoretical ten per cent range boost would not have been worth the price increase to consumers. Accelerate away and the Zero S offers the instant electric torque you’d expect. Zero has tweaked throttle technology in this 2010 model to modulate the increased power. This alleviates some of the instant-on-and-off power abruptness common to electric drive and provides riders with more exacting control over the acceleration. You might want to remember not to “blip the throttle”, yikes, but the sillier habits of motorcycling are not all that hard to unlearn, whether you’re riding a scooter or an electric bike. I could harp on about the silent ride, noiseless but for the wind and whirring of wheels, electric motor and drive chain but, what with our exposSee Zero B24

Jack went to join his loving wife Evelyn to be together with the Lord Tuesday, after a brief battle with Cancer. He passed away peacefully in the arms of his children at Kelowna General Hospital. He was born in Winnipeg on December 29, 1922. Jack is survived by his two children Geri Christensen and Jay (Cori) Christensen, his grandchildren Tyler, Dennis, Tia and Sheila. It is with heavy hearts we say goodbye to such a gentlman as he. Always there for his children, being a single parent for close to 40 yrs, and always a friend as well.

Jack has requested that there be no funeral or “fancy” memorial, but we will be having one of his famous “Beer-B-Q’s” in his honor. Cheers to a wonderful gentleman, father and friend ...

HILBERT (BERT) SCHMIDT June 18, 1945 – April 19, 2010

After a two year battle with diabetic related illnesses, Bert was called home to be with his Lord in the early hours of April 19th with family by his side. Bert was predeceased by his father, August, his mother Nadina and his sister, Ruth. Bert is survived by his loving and dedicated wife, Mary, daughter Jennifer Warawa (Shane), and his brothers, Herman (Inez) of Edmonton, Ruben (Lorraine) of Calgary and Norman (Rose) of New Sarepta, as well as many nieces, nephews, family and friends. Bert was well known throughout the Okanagan Valley for his business ventures, including Bert’s Bobcat, Okanagan Skid Steer and British Columbia Trailer, as well as his frequent coffee breaks all over Kelowna with friends. He had a very entrepreneurial spirit and came up with a new business idea on an almost weekly basis, and those that knew him well knew his favorite hobby was working. Bert’s family would like to sincerely thank everyone that supported and encouraged him right until the end and believed in him regardless of the circumstances. Bert will be missed dearly by those that knew him, but we also have peace knowing that there will be no more suffering. The family would also like to thank the many Nurses, Doctors and staff at Kelowna GeneralHospital that cared for Bert over the last two years, and for the excellent care and attention he received while he was briefly in his new home at the Village at Mill Creek. Should family and friends so desire, donations can be made to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, which Bert supported in the past, #150-6450 Roberts Street, Burnaby, BC, V5G 4E1. Bert’s celebration of life will be held at Trinity Baptist Church, 1905 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC on Saturday, April 24, 2010 at 11:00 am.

Obituaries

WARKENTIN, JULIE MARIE Passed away suddenly on Thursday, April 15, 2010 at the age of 63. She is survived by her loving husband of 41 years, Jake; daughter Kristi and her partner James of Vancouver; son Jamie and his wife Lesley and their family of Kelowna; sisters-in-law: Anita and Nettie; brother-in-law Henry and his wife Jane. Predeceased by her parents Peter and Mary Dick. Julie and Jake started Kelowna Steel Fabricators in 1973, where Julie worked by Jake’s side for 37 years. In 1990 they made a decision to purchase some land and build the home of their dreams. Like everything they did, Julie and Jake put their heart and soul into creating the perfect home for themselves and all of their friends and family. Julie was passionate about gardening, and during their 17 years at ‘the Ranch’, she created a beautiful oasis that she loved to share with anyone who visited. Julie also loved to travel, and after much encouragement was able to convince Jake to go on many adventures. They spent 12 out of the last 24 months touring North America in their much enjoyed ‘home on wheels’. Julie was the heart and foundation of her family, and a treasured friend to those who were lucky to know her. She will be missed and loved forever. A Memorial Service will be held on Wednesday, April 21, 2010 at 1:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation, 2268 Pandosy Street, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 1T2.

Friends and family are invited to attend a memorial service of Saturday, April 24th, 2010, at 1:00pm at First Memorial Funeral Home, 1211 Sutherland Ave, Kelowna, BC, with Pastor Jack MacLaughlin ofﬁciating.

1717 Harvey Avenue, Kelowna

eerily silent performer. Some people need a soundtrack for their fullsensory experience. And I expect the bikes will make seniors nervous, along with other pedestrians who can be surprised by an electric motorcycle’s stealthy approach. But I found its quiet competence relaxing, and yet invigorating at the same time. The Zero S has a userfriendly, scooter-like, “just climb on and ride” feel to it, bolstered by its simple controls and a nimble, lightweight level of maneuverability. The thought of any electric vehicle in Canada raises inevitable questions that I put to Stephen Bieda, Director of Canadian Sales & Marketing. “Lithium-ion batteries don’t mind cooler temperatures,” he told me. “We expect at least a five year life span on batteries in Canada.” I’ll reserve judgment on battery performance until I’ve had more than a parking lot ride, but then again, motorcycles don’t normally see as much potential winter duty as electric cars. Based on common hydro rates, Bieda says that recharging costs average about twenty-seven cents. He also estimated that a trip from Vancouver to Gander would only cost about $42 in electricity but we’ll skip that analogy since I figure it would also take about 80 recharging stops. This is really more of a commuter or urban bike than a long haul tourer. “I also dropped into a few of the insurance company booths here at the show,” he told me, “and got a personal quote of $600 to insure the Zero S.” The Zero S retails for $11,495 CDN and is available at dealers like Gearhead in Ottawa or at Greater Vancouver Powersports in Surrey, B.C., to name just two of the

ten outlets currently selling Zero electric motorcycles in Canada. Expect more soon. Some tax rebates are available, unfortunately not to the tune of rebates in states like California or Colorado, where consumers can expect a return of more than 50 per cent of the price. So, yeah, you can buy a cheaper regular motorcycle. But other Zero incentives you might want to consider include the bonuses of zero emissions, zero noise, zero neighbourhood aggravation, zero trips to the dealer for oil, lubes, spark plugs or whatever and, best of all, zero stops at the gas station. Public test rides will start at the Green Living Show in Toronto April 2325 and a demo tour should reach western Canada by May.
