Dreamlift Day soars above the $1 million mark from A1 The total amount raised includes the gross profits, wages and salaries from all the staff, management and ownership of the nine Wendy’s Restaurants in Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Vernon, Kelowna, West Kelowna and Penticton.

Customers were hungry to help one of the most successful fundraisers in B.C.’s Southern Interior as they lined up for hours. Some visited the restaurant multiple times throughout the day.

Wendy Thomas— daughter of the late Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy’s Restaurant— was in town to witness the event. She said that she was blown away by the response.

“I’m overwhelmed,” said Thomas.

“This has been so good. John (Tietzen) has been preparing me, saying that there are a lot of people that come in and that people would be waiting outside. It’s exactly what he said. This is so cool.”

Thomas managed to visit every Wendy’s location in B.C.’s Southern Interior over a two day period. She said she was impressed by the level of volunteer, media and community involvement.

“I’m just in awe how people will wait in line for an hour to come to have a

She got the opportunity to meet one young girl who went on the 2011 Dreamlift flight to Disneyland. Thomas said that she would love to see the trip firsthand at some point.

“I think it would be really cool to see that whole end of it.”

John Tietzen, franchise owner of the Southern Interior Wendy’s Restaurants, spoke with the Capital News on Thursday morning. He said he was tired, happy and thankful.

The Dreamlift Day fundraiser has been consistently successful over the last 18 years; however,

that doesn’t mean Tietzen doesn’t get nervous beforehand.

“The biggest thing that gets us nervous is weather…when weather (is bad), a lot of people won’t get in their cars and come out,” said Tietzen.

“The second thing for

us is trying to find ways to increase efficiencies so we can try to make it a better experience for customers.”

The money raised will go towards sending deserving kids from the area on a whirlwind trip to Disneyland in the late

stages of 2013. Approximately $150,000 is required to make the trip possible.

Although fundraising efforts are getting close to that $150,000 mark every year, Tietzen said See Soars A6

Planning already underway for the 2013 Wendy’s annual fundraiser Soars from A3 that there probably aren’t enough different children with severe physical illnesses or life threatening illnesses in the area to make the Dreamlift trip

an annual event.

“What we’ve done with any overages is earmark the difference to go (towards) individual dreams in the area.

There are some children that can’t wait two years,

so they may go down to Disneyland on an individual dream.”

Tietzen said that he is already looking ahead to the 2013 Wendy’s Dreamlift Day fundraiser.

Just before Wendy Thomas headed to the departure gate on Thursday

“The comment she made was that her belief is that this is not a Wendy’s program. It’s not a Sunshine Foundation

Report: Local RCMP shortfall 15 officers

Lace up the skates for pond hockey

Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

The long-awaited report looking at how many police officers Kelowna should have is recommending an increase in the size of the local force.

Consultant Robert Prosser says it will take 15.25 more officers to reduce current calls-for-service by 25 per cent, give officers more time for crime-prevention work and lower the number of Criminal Code and drug offences per 1,000 population to 70.5. “While the city and RCMP were aware that police services were under-resourced, we now know the full extent of the challenge before us,� said Macklem, the city’s general manger of corporate sustainability. The city currently has an RCMP force of 148 officers. “The report also recommends going upstream (crime prevention) to stop people from falling into the stream in the first place, which in the long run reduces crime rates, triggering fewer staffing requirements.�

City council will receive the Prosser’s police resource requirements study at its regular meeting Monday, Jan. 30. “The report now provides the city and the RCMP with strong, relevant data to develop a police services strategic plan and local crime reduc-

the country.

Last week, city council approved the addition of four more police officers for the city, as well as a civilian crime analyst.

Since 2000, successive city councils have approved a total of 35 more RCMP positions and 12 municipal support staff, including the quartet and crime analyst to be added this year.

Every new police officer now costs the city a total of $138,500 when all costs are factored in, said Macklem Police services currently represent just under 20 per cent of the $97 million the city collects in taxation each year.

Prosser’s full report, has been posted on the city’s website—kelowna. ca—under Council Meetings and it will be part of the Monday meeting agenda package.

tion strategy that meet the needs of our citizens,� said Macklem. “The strategy is expected to be ready for council’s consideration prior to final budget in May.�

Baselines for the report were, in part, established by interviewing and analyzing a number of other policing units in Western Canada.

Prosser also worked with top officers at the Kelowna detachment in preparing his report.

While the City of Kelowna’s overall crime rate remained flat between 2000 and 2009, with a minor increase of 0.4 per cent, the other communities selected for the study were able to reduce crime rates between 13.9 per cent and 31.6 per cent.

The report attributes these reductions to proactive crime prevention strategies, while recognizing similar levels may be difficult to achieve in Kelowna due to the large influx of tourists in the summer.

The City of Kelowna’s population also grew faster than the other communities’ during the time frame studied.

Last month, Statistic’s Canada released as report that showed Kelowna was the most under polices metropolitan area in

With only a few days left in the entry deadline for the Kraft Hockeyville 2012 competition, West Kelowna is making one final push in the contest’s first stage with an old fashioned game of pond hockey.

West Kelowna residents are invited to come out to Shannon Lake on Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., for ice hockey and public skating. “With just a few days left before the competition entry deadline closes, we wanted to have one more fun day of activities to show Kraft and CBC just how much we love our hockey and how much we love West Kelowna,� said West Kelowna Kraft Hockeyville cochair, Andrew Deans. “Kids can get their picture taken with Wally, play hockey with the entire Westside Warriors team and just enjoy the outdoors.�

According to Deans, there might be a celebrity guest making an appearance as well. “We’ve been talking to Danny Watkins, the West Kelowna native and Philadelphia Eagles lineman. “Danny’s completely behind our Hockeyville bid and has told us he may

come and join us for the day. That would be a terrific boost for all the kids and families out there.�

On Thursday morning, Kelowna RCMP released a statement urging the public to be careful when walking on ice after a 51year-old man fell through the ice on Wood Lake.

But Deans said he is confident that the conditions on Shannon Lake will be suitable for the event on Saturday.

He said that the Hock-

eyville crew—and a firefighter—will be going to Shannon Lake early on Saturday to check out the ice and make sure that the conditions are appropriate.

He said if there is any uncertainty, the event will be postponed. “We just want people to come out and enjoy the day. We’ve been doing Hockeyville for a couple months now, but we haven’t played hockey. We’ve got to get going on this lake stuff.�

mid-summer, the shows it hosts should prove fittingly off the hook.

The outdoor stage will become a theatre with one company performing two different shows using the same actors—a style known as repertory theatre—just like Vancouver’s Bard on the Beach, or, depending on the level of your imagination, one of England’s more established theatrical havens. “We’re talking about building a young company like the New Vic and the Old Vic in England. We just won’t have the Old Vic,� jokes Neal Facey, the founding artistic director of Viva Musica and a high school drama teacher.

Viva Musica, the organization about to lend its talents to utilizing this unique spot for a fourweekend run, is an Okanagan arts scene staple with more than two decades of experience bringing professional-level theatrical and musical programming to town.

To be certain, it doesn’t have the stature of the Old Vic Theatre Company, where no less than

Dame Judi Dench, Laurence Olivier and now Kevin Spacey have practiced their craft.

But they’re pretty good at developing programs for talented young actors, fresh out of school, in a manner not so unlike the Old Vic New Voices does with its development program.

From actor Serena Parmar, star of How to Be Indie and Radio Rebel, to Layla Claire, a soprano with The Metropolitan Opera, to Garett Spelliscy, a working actor and director in Edmonton, Viva Musica has provided a solid job for many young Canadian thespians over the years. Unfortunately, the shape of its new RCA home is also a line they are used to walking, for over the years Viva Musica has had to contend with its fair share of curves.

The switch to a theatre under the stars concept will be the third incarnation for the non-profit as first their opera format, and then the musicals used to save the company from the opera, eventually failed to fill seats.

But both Facey and the organization’s board president, Peter Kascak, look more at what they’ve accomplished than the need for changes. “We’re kind of victims of our own success in a way,� said Facey. “We always hire professional technical staff and young artists, and as soon as you start hiring people, the costs just go way up.�

With a global economic downturn ensuring corporate sponsorship dwindled along with govern-

the

ment funding and ticket buyers willing to part with $48 for a single performance, Viva Musica found itself in a pinch at the end of 2010; and the scale of their productions didn’t help.

Facey founded Viva Musica with Roslyn Franz in 1991. First an opera company, they made the switch to musicals in 1999 with a $50,000 debt on the books and a vision for programs that drew epic crowds.

Admirably selecting Showboat, an operaticstyle musical then headlining in Vancouver, the dedicated group, staffed by young actors, funded on a shoestring and backed by a throng of volunteers, put the ship on the right tack with a move to large-scale musicals capable of filling the Kelowna Community Theatre.

That first musical earned $90,000 at the box office, with the 800seat venue sold out and the group, one might say, almost showboating their ability to adapt on demand. But times changed again and where the lack of opera buffs and the limited number of operatic-style musicians once challenged the non-profit, today’s economic blues found the board of directors singing a woeful tune a year ago.

The group took a break to regroup in 2011 and, with their $20,000 line of credit maxed, knew it was time for another revival if the shows were to go on.

The concept they’ve come up with just might serve a number of needs

The new theatre will have a cheaper price-point at $20-$25 a ticket and will draw people into the Cultural District on weekends where it is often said to be too quiet.

Within four years, the Kelowna Summer Theatre Festival, as it will be called, should have four shows running—a different show each night— providing a summer festival in a town that’s constantly struggling to find a signature arts event that doesn’t become a wild beach party.

As with everything, the venture needs money.

Grant applications are underway and a serious corporate sponsorship

drive has just begun, Kascak said.

The group is hoping their pitch to help theatre students throughout Western Canada get a start on a very difficult career will help win dollars on both fronts, but ultimately, it’s all about creating topquality art.

Performances begin the July 19 weekend and end the Aug. 12 weekend.

Those hoping to provide donations or sponsorship are asked to email info@kelownasummertheatrefestival.com.

Auditions will be held in March in both Kelowna and Vancouver. The plays will include Golf the Musical and likely Moonlight and Magnolias.

The search for ways to tap into our inner sketch artist DRAW THE LINE

Jennifer Smith

T

here’s something about taking an art class that’s just appealing and, as my art teacher, Rena Warren, fully admits, also incredibly intimidating.

Warren is what one might call a natural talent. While she does believe everyone needs the technical underpinnings to draw, she discloses on our first meeting that she was born pencil in hand and it sounds as though her own daughter is much the same. By the time I make it into the drawing class she’s teaching at the Kelowna Art Gallery, she is telling stories of how she and her brother, raised in northern B.C., used to pick charcoal out of their campfires to sketch.

A fellow student relays a tale of her architect daughter’s penchant for colouring on walls as a kid and our teacher reveals an impervious appreciation for artistic spirit, suggesting a designated wall space might have stoked that flame.

My inner child is already begging to differ.

Eyebrow duly cocked, I’m hoping no one has noticed the “yeah, and then mom kills me” look.

It’s a little embarrassing to think one can still pull a face in their 30s, but creativity in my world is what Warren might call a

As inside-the-lines versus outside-the-lines people go, I would say my mother, like many a mother, fell squarely on the rule-following side of the fence. Nevertheless, drawing, colours and over-flowing bins of art supplies were inextricably tied to my childhood and it is kind of fun to revisit such thoughts as one first picks up the pencil.

There’s something freeing about a paper and pencil and the thought of leaving your own mark that takes us all back to those moments where a circle on a page could be the chick you saw at the petting farm or the sun in the sky, depending on your vantage point.

Now that I have nieces, I’m growing accustomed to these conversations.

“What are you drawing?” I’ll ask. “Green” my oldest niece will answer as she masterfully scrawls a pink line across her page. While clearly very skilled, Warren seems to embody a brilliant collaboration of technical prowess and appreciation for this beauty in the eye of the beholder side of life.

The fleeting thought of a little charcoal-toting Rena confronting my mother’s anti-white tracksuit policies might be funny, but it’s comforting to know the woman at the front of the room poised to guide you through several weeks of possible

gaffs and goofs is one of those talented and welltrained few who know how to twist the willow charcoal to produce perfect thin and thick lines where needed—and all while preaching the value of knowledge.

Moving to Kelowna to earn a degree in fine art from Okanagan University College, she fully admits small town life was just too limiting for her.

Multiple trips to India, some even with her daughter, have opened a door to a colourful world one instantly recognizes in the vibrant hues and unusual mix of colour and tone in her portrait work though.

In addition to teaching children’s art classes through her business, Capricornucopia Artworks, her adult courses at the Kelowna Art Gallery and with Cool Arts, a non-profit organization using art to work with adults with developmental disabilities, Warren does commissioned portraits.

She does show work in places like Kelowna Yoga House as well and has participated in shows at KAG. It all sounds fittingly colourful and Bohemian when we meet for coffee at the RCA and she’s soon telling me how even on your worst hair day, a good lipstick can fix all.

This is exactly the type of person you want teaching you Learning to Draw for the Absolute Beginner. The “for the absolute beginner” was her idea. She wanted to let people like me know that you really don’t need to know how to draw to take

Principals say students are affected by teacher service withdrawal To the editor: The BC Teachers’ Federation is conducting a strike in B.C.’s public schools. So far, the media has portrayed this as “job action” and the public has not been vocal in reporting a great difference in the activities of schools. Some parents probably believe that student progress continues unfettered.

Those of us within the system, and many parents, know otherwise. Phase one of the BCTF strike is having an impact on many students and families in this province and the effects of this may be difficult to calculate.

Schools are vibrant communities of new ideas and activities. Currently, many successful school initiatives are on hold and new strategies are not coming forward as they would otherwise.

The school is a community and the rapport between principals, vice-principals and teachers is key in supporting students and ensuring that their school experiences are positive and productive. The

While it’s nice to know that the happenings in Kelowna rate so highly among Easterners, one can’t help but wonder why. It’s hard to imagine how a speech in a riding that’s been Conservative for all but one political term in 60 years could be cause for such deep thought and vitriol.

It’s probably simply a matter of us local yokels getting a bird’s eye view of the rumoured nasty nature of Canadian politics.

Things are pretty polite in these here parts. All of our political forums in the lead-up to the last election were tame, with little flickers of well masked frustration occasionally visible.

LETTERS

WE HAVE MOVED

‘Over service’ issue for hotel to address To the editor: Regarding Homophobia Complaint Arises At Hotel, Jan. 24, Capital News.

The Vines Lounge manager states that the reason Susan was refused further alcoholic service was because she had been “overserved and was becoming over gregarious,’’ and that it had nothing to do with her kissing her girlfriend.

Daniel Bibby, the Delta Grand Hotel general manager, claims that by his estimates, “Hillock was drunk” and then in the same breath states that the hotel was “being compliant with B.C. liquor laws,” and that he has “a great team of service staff who are well trained, and refuse additional drinks to people they believe are intoxicated.”

If you have the great staff you claim you do, Mr. Bibby, then your staff would not have over-served in the first place.

Let me remind you that within the pages

of the Liquor-Primary Licence Guide (BC liquor laws) it clearly states: “You must encourage moderate consumption at all times and follow strict limits on the maximum size of servings…it is your responsibility to make sure patrons do not become intoxicated while in your establishment…see that he or she departs safely.”

Furthermore, the Serving It Right course (cash cow) which is mandatory for servers of liquor, clearly teaches students how not to over-serve. “Serving It Right…educates… servers about their legal responsibilities when serving liquor…”

It seems to me that your “great staff” perhaps went beyond their call of duty when serving Susan that evening. After all, your firm belief is that Susan was over-served.

Having said this, and your believing that Susan was over-served, did any one of your “great staff” or the restaurant manager, or

yourself, for that matter, inquire as to whether Susan was planning on driving herself home or if she had called a cab? Did your hotel in fact permit a patron to leave intoxicated without knowing her travel arrangements? Does your hotel have a ‘drive home’ program and if so, did you offer that to the “over-served” Susan?

Perhaps Susan would like to consider suing you and/or the hotel for over-service which then caused her to behave “over-gregariously”?

Perhaps you ought to acquaint yourself better with the B.C. liquor laws and read the guide thoroughly. And shame on you for allowing “over-service” to result in (patrons) becoming “over-social.”

Gregarious, indeed.

Linda MacGillivray, Kelowna

Academic scholarships pegged on student marks Education from A11 usual communication that would occur in schools is not now occurring.

Teachers have been instructed to not ‘provide or taccept any routine, printed, written or electronic communication to or from principals or vice-principals.’ As such, many stufdent issues are not being adequately dealt with or brought to the attention of principals and vice-principals.

Interventions for students who are not achieving their best may not have happened in many schools as teachers are not sharing with principals and vice-principals information about which students are falling behind and which are on the cusp of failure.

Principals and viceprincipals, in conjunction t

with classroom teachers, often work with parents to create structures to support struggling students and identify the challenges that those students may be facing.

The end of semester may be the first time that many parents and principals and vice-principals learn of the challenges that a student may have been facing.

As the semester comes to an end in many of our secondary schools, the issue of not giving marks formally and within schools will mean that many important activities will not be completed. Passport to Education, which “recognizes and rewards student achievement in Grades 10 to 12 in a broad range of academic and non-academic areas” bases its scholarship awards on marks.

Principals and vice-principals cannot award these Passports without formal and final mark reports.

Scholarship applications and awards within district, province, nationally and internationally rely on formal and final marks.

Phase one of the BCTF strike also means that many teachers are not participating in formal school activities which are held outside the school day. Planning for school graduation has begun and will go on with or without the participation of teachers but will it have the same value and meaning to students and families without the teachers present?

Finally, principals and vice-principals at the school and district levels have important and specific roles. They are educational leaders with overall

Leaves are ‘gardeners gold’ To the editor: Re: Used To Be That The City Would Pick Up All Our Leaves Each Fall, Jan. 20 Capital News.

Letter writer B. Stolz is right about the environmental value of trees, but I would argue that the leaves you consider a problem are valuable too.

Not only will they nur-

ture the soil around your trees if allowed to decompose as nature intended, leaves are an exceptional all-natural material for mulching and amending compost.

Ironically, you’ve been paying someone to remove the “gardener’s gold” that my friends and I actively collect each fall.

Elms and beech leaves are ideal (the smaller the better), but say no thanks to walnut leaves.

If you live within biking distance of the downtown core, perhaps we could turn your problem into our solution?

Amanda Poon, Kelowna

Keep it clean, at least Kathartic from A10 exactly ideal.

We should be more fired up about politics locally—speak more loudly about our opinions and debate the issues in a passionately messy manner

and, in time, as the community profile matures, I’m sure we will.

But as we evolve, I hope we can avoid the decidedly American approach of plugging one’s ears and hurling meaningless insults at any one with a

differing opinion.

Can’t we just keep it clean? Not tongue-bath clean, just polite.

Having principals and vice-principals take on supervision, invigilating and marking undermines their ability to focus on what matters most, creating the best possible learning environment for students to succeed. As the Association representing B.C.’s public school principals and viceprincipals, the BC Principals’ and Vice-Principals’ Association has heard from the BC Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils that the volume of calls and emails they have received this school year from concerned parents is fivefold the normal volume. This speaks to the fact that many parents, while not protesting in front of schools or at the B.C. Legislature, are noticing and living with the problems created by phase one of this strike.

While the BCTF and BCPSEA have every right to extended negotiations, it’s spin to say students are not suffering. We believe that until the strike is resolved, schools will struggle to maintain their place

Declining number of orchardists face realities of change Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

When growers hurt, so does the organization that represents them.

Members of the B.C. Fruit Growers Association, suffering from a decline in membership as growers leave the industry because they’re not making money growing apples, voted to decrease payments to members

who serve on the executive as one way to decrease costs in the coming year.

There will also be decreases in staffing and office costs.

So delegates to the fruit grower association’s annual meeting approved financial statements that showed the organization was $38,215 in the red last year, and gave the okay to a document that budgets

for a loss of $17,800 for the coming year.

That resolution added to an already emotional final couple of days for outgoing B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association president Joe Sardinha.

After 11 years on the executive and the past seven as president, he is stepping aside for someone new to take up the cause.

The 123rd annual general meeting of the

BCFGA started Thursday and concludes today with the election of a new executive.

Sardinha has experienced a turbulent ride in the top job representing the province’s growers, giving orientation classes to no less than six new agriculture ministers for his industry, and trying desperately to get some assistance for an industry that’s been in a struggle

G HERE N I V I L E OV WHY I L

for its very life.

It’s been a frustrating job which he’s grown into in those years, being open and accessible to the media; articulate and compelling in speaking to the politicians in his lobby efforts for the industry; and available to fellow growers.

It’s an industry he grew up in, stepping into the shoes of his parents, who also worked in Summerland orchards where he was raised, and it’s one that he’s seen go through some incredible changes.

From growing apples

on large, spreading trees spaced far apart in the orchard, he’s seen the shift to more-densely planted, odd-shaped trees. Trees are now pruned strongly back to produce more fruit on a smaller farm footprint.

He’s also seen the introduction of all sorts of new varieties of apples— replacing the Macs and reds of the past—in an effort to lure the consumer back home from the increasing variety of exotic fruits on the grocer’s shelves.

Yet, the issues grow-

ers are discussing at their annual meeting are little changed over the years.

Resolutions on support from local government and senior governments for the industry; affordable financial programs; crop protection; labour; and the inadequate share of the provincial budget that is allotted to agriculture are similar to those brought forward in previous years.

Two Kelowna growers are candidates for BCFGA president: vicepresident Fred Steele and Kirpal Boparai.

Twin Lakes evokes that feeling—of being a youngster in summer— in me.

It was one of the first lakes my Dad took me fishing as a kid. We lived in Penticton, so it was close by, and the fishing was generally pretty good.

I can just feel the sunshine on my face and the

excitement of going fishing with Dad. There’s some beautiful Okanagan country around there.

So, it’s with delight I hear the news that The Nature Trust of B.C. has secured 809 hectares of grassland in the Twin Lakes area that is home to a variety of endangered plants and animals.

there are others who just thoroughly enjoy getting out in that winter snow, including members of the Kelowna Nordic Club.

And you’re invited to come out and help by volunteering to make the club’s first loppet a success on Saturday, Feb. 25.

Altogether 38 to 40 volunteers are needed to act as parking attendants, man first aid stations, for timekeeping, serving refreshments, act as controllers on the course, as the start and finish crew and a completion secretary.

If you can spare some time to help out, contact Lisa Howard at lisajhoward@shaw.ca or by calling 250-762-0433. *** This Saturday, join the Central Okanagan Natur-

It will begin downstairs in the EECO in Mission Creek Regional Park, beginning at 9:30 a.m., and then move outdoors to find your way through the park’s trails in a game of geo-orienteering, ending up back at the EECO at noon.

Bring suitable footwear and dress for the weather. The walking won’t be strenuous.

No registration is required, but bring a loony to cover insurance.

The land is worth $3.5 million and it’s been a massive fund-raising effort to secure this ranch property which will link other conservation areas together to create a total of more than 2,000 hectares of Nature Trust property.

This is the second largest parcel that the trust has acquired in its history, so it’s a pretty significant achievement.

That’s not to say it’s all a done deal, warns Deb Kennedy of the trust.

They still need to raise another $100,000 ideally, she notes, so all donations are much appreciated. Go to the website at: www. naturetrust.bc.ca While I revel in my memories of sunny summer days on lazy lakes,

overseeing construction of the new clinical support building across the street from the new tower and who led the team that built the recently opened eightstorey tower addition to Vernon’s Jubilee Hospital, said she was very pleased with how the KGH tower’s three-year construction project has gone.

While there are always challenges with such a large construction project, especially when it its an addition to such a technically complicated project as a hospital, the work here went smoothly and the hospital now has four moths to prepare for the public opening, she said.

A detailed plan, including three escalating periods of training for staff, has been drawn up to prepare for the opening.

Meanwhile, construction continues on the three-storey, $47-million building across Pandosy Street, a building that will house KGH’s new laboratory facilities. It is connected by a third-floor en-

ASSISTANT EDITOR

In keeping with modern technology, the builder of Kelowna General Hospital’s new $250-million, six-storey Centennial Tower gave Interior Health officials a giant swipe card instead of a key Friday, as it turned over the building to the health authority seven months earlier than originally planned.

The presentation means the hospital now has four months to fit and equip the building and train the estimated 2,500 staff who will work in it as of May 27.

“It’s been a long time waiting, and what a day it is,” said a smiling Norm Embree, chairman of the IHA board.

The ceremony, held in what will become the hospital’s new lobby, marked the official completion of construction. The actual handover was made on Jan. 11.

Malanowich said that building, to be completed by the end of April, will open at the same time as the Centennial Tower. But in the case of the clinical support building, KGH will have just one month to equip it and train staff to work there.

The tower was built

by Graham Construction, part of a consortium known as Infusion Health.

The consortium also included designer Stantec and Black and McDonald, the company that will maintain and operate the

tower for the IHA for the next 30 years as part of a public-private partnership agreement.

Robert Halpenny, the IHA CEO, said the addition of the new tower means quality and efficiency for KGH operations and keeps the focus on patient care. The tower will become home to the hospital’s emergency department, outpatient services, the renal dialysis department, an eye care clinic, patient care beds and other hospital services. awaters @kelownacapnews.com

Elections can create unexpected alliances

M

y mother, bless her kind and gracious soul, used to pull out some real pearls of wisdom when needed.

One of her favourites was, “Behind every cloud there is a silver lining.�

I use to think that was corny. Today, so many years later, I find myself spouting off the same lines on a regular basis.

I often pull on her words of wisdom and strength when the chips are down, when I reflect on things both past and, well, not so past, like the recent local municipal election.

It’s been two months now since voters booted six former council members, one of which was me, out of office. The large majority of sting and self-pity has faded away for me.

Enough at least to write about it with some

community.

Grant spent hours on my website and waved signs at polling stations in the freezing cold.

Lifetime best buddies Curtis and Jim helped out with entertainment, sign production and strategy.

Lucille handled the college crowd and helped with rally events.

Wanda did my financial books. Kenny, Pete (and his family and friends) and a couple others went door to door to hundreds and hundreds of homes delivering flyers.

The list goes on. It was humbling and yet incredibly inspiring. I will never forget their kindness and willingness to help.

I probably feel worse for the loss because of their work than I do for my own letdown. They deserved a better result.

And of course my wife Teresa was the over-

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge open-minded thoughts.

When I decided to run for re-election, I naturally began to rally supporters to help with my campaign.

I’ve never been a fancy Dan, a big money man, or a card carrying member of the elite groups or ‘Who’s Who’ social clubs around town. However, I’m very blessed in having a huge number of friends.

I did not amass a large crew of campaign workers. In fact, my team of workers probably numbered no more than a dozen, but they represented a large demographic of our

all number one supporter.

However, the person I will never forget was a total stranger who became a lifelong friend. I call him ‘The Hammer.’ His efforts and dedication will stick in my mind to my grave.

The Hammer is a street person. To some he’s perceived as one of our “homeless bums.�

It is not an accurate assumption, but then Hammer couldn’t give a rat’s ass about the labelling by others.

He is use to it—even though it is not accurate.

The Hammer has a home. It’s called Kelowna. But he does not have a house.

He lost his home many years ago when his job ended and shortly after so did his wife.

He fell into a tailspin then and shortly after became extremely physically ill.

He was hospitalized and quarantined for six months before finally having the strength and health to return to the world.

When he was finally ready to return physically, he had no mental desire any more. He’d been kicked one too many times to play the game again.

The Hammer has lived on the street, sleeping in alleys, tents, or wherever for the past couple of years.

He has a small inheritance and so does not live off the system.

He does not collect welfare or any money from the government or taxpayer, instead making a living doing odd jobs here and there and collecting bottles.

I met him through my buddy Jim. See Hodge A18

Over a few conversations I got to know him better.

Because of my own health issues, I needed some help putting up my campaign signs, so I asked Hammer if he would like to earn a bit of cash helping me.

He agreed, saying that: “I have no use for politicians, but you seem like an OK guy so I will give it a whirl.�

For the better part of six weeks we spent a lot of time together driving around town hammering in signs and later taking them down.

Friday, January 27, 2012 Capital News

Walking together in civic election trenches I’d drive, he’d hammer. Then we handed out campaign brochures together.

During that process we talked a lot—and laughed just as much.

We shared stories, swapped lies and had a lot of fun in the cold, lousy weather.

The Hammer opened my eyes a whole bunch and I’d like to think I did the same for him.

He spent several hours as well waving signs outside advance polls during the election.

On election day, Hammer voted for the first time in his life—and he did so proudly.

We got a lot of strange looks from folks over the course of that six weeks and neither one of us really cared.

We became buddies. Few folks have ever helped me as much in my life as The Hammer.

So, when all is said and done, I may have lost an election but I gained some wonderful lessons and insight. And a new friend.

To every cloud there truly is a silver lining. Hammer is one of them for me.

Bless you Hammer. www.hodgepodge2@shaw.ca

Huska, Recchi to coach Top Prospects together Rockets Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

Ryan Huska and Mark Recchi will forever be linked together as two former Kamloops Blazers who have made names for themselves in the game of hockey.

Recchi is the prolific scorer and future Hall of Famer while Huska is the four-time Memorial Cup champion and rising star in the coaching world.

Come next week the two former Blazers will add another link to that relationship as co-coaches at the 2012 Home Hardware CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game in Kelowna.

“I’m really excited about it. I think it’s going to be really fun,” said Huska, who first skated with the Blazers in 1991-92, three seasons after Recchi had left Kamloops.

“I know Mark a little bit from our connection in Kamloops. It will be a great experience to learn more about the game and to be around him.”

While Huska was winning Memorial Cups with the Blazers powerhouse teams in the early 1990s, Recchi had begun what would become a sure-fire Hall of Fame career, amassing huge point

totals over 20-plus years in the NHL. He retired last year as the 12th all timeleading scorer in NHL history.

“A lot of people maybe don’t give him the credit he’s deserved,” said Huska. “He’s been a very durable guy, a very hardworking guy and a player who put up big point totals. He had a long career and that’s because of how hard he worked.”

As Recchi was moving through the second half of his playing career, Huska was starting to climb the ranks as a rising young coach, winning another Memorial Cup as a Rockets assistant in 2004, guiding the Rockets back to the Memorial Cup as a head coach in 2009 and assisting for Team Canada at the last two World Junior Hockey Championships.

So when Recchi accepted the invitation to become an honorary coach for the Top Prospects Game in Kelowna, he was pretty happy to know Huska would be there with him.

“I’m glad Huska is beside me,” said Recchi on this week’s media conference call promoting the Top Prospects Game. “This is a little dif-

look to build on big win Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

LONGTIME NHL player Mark Recchi (left) will be one of the honorary coaches at the 2012 NHL/CHL Top Pros-

pects Game coming to Kelowna next Tuesday and Wednesday, coaching alongside Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. ferent than coaching my 10-year-old. I’m excited.

I’ve been around the game for a long time and I have a good feel on the bench.

It’s going to be exciting.”

When Recchi and Huska were juniors the Top Prospects Game didn’t exist. Maybe that’s why Recchi wasn’t selected until the fourth round of the 1988 NHL Entry

Draft. The hard work that would allow the Kamloops native to play into his 40s was something that was well known to Huska and other young Blazers players long after Recchi had moved on.

“Mark was very well known to the younger guys in Kamloops,” said Huska. “When we would come in early in the sum-

mer to skate he was there skating as well. When Mark Recchi was there working hard it was easy to follow.”

Since retiring from hockey last season Recchi makes his home in Pittsburgh where he is helping to coach minor hockey. He says he enjoys teaching young kids about playing for the love of the game

and avoiding the pressures that come with hockey.

He’ll be passing on more of his knowledge to the up and coming stars of the game at the CHL/ NHL Top Prospects Game in Kelowna next Tuesday and Wednesday.

Tickets are still available at Select Your Tickets. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Tickets available for Top Prospects skills and game The Kelowna Rockets and the Canadian Hockey League announced on Thursday that tickets are now available for the Skills Competition only at the 2012 CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game in Kelowna taking place Jan. 31 and Feb. 1, 2012 at Prospera Place.

Tickets for the Skills

Competition and 3 on 3 Challenge on Jan. 31 will go on sale for just $10. Previously the Skills Competition and 3 on 3 Challenge was available only as part of a package that included the Top Prospects Game on Wednesday.

This came a day after the Rockets announced

there were still 2,000 tickets available for the game.

“I don’t think people really understand how special this game is,” said Rockets president and general manager Bruce Hamilton.

“I believe it will be a great game. The opportunity to host this event was something we wanted

to do for our fans and the city of Kelowna to help gain national recognition for our city and our surrounding area. I hope they rally around us and fill the building.”

The Skills Competition kicks off the festivities at the 2012 Home Hardware CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game on Tues-

day. It will feature several events including a puck control relay, fastest skater, hardest shot, shooting accuracy and breakaway relay. That will be followed by a 30 minute 3-on-3 game.

The top 40 draft eligible players in the CHL will be in Kelowna taking part in the event including

Kelowna Rockets players Colton Sissons and Damon Severson.

Tickets remain available for Wednesday night’s Top Prospects Game at a cost of $40 also through www.selectyourtickets.com, the Prospera Place box office or by calling 250-7625050.

Wednesday night’s home-ice victory over the Western Hockey League’s No. 1 team was a big step forward for the Kelowna Rockets.

Now the challenge for Ryan Huska’s club is not to take a step or two in reverse—a tendency that has confounded the coaching staff more than once this season.

The Rockets will play a home-and-away set with the Seattle Thunderbirds this weekend, Friday at Prospera Place and Sunday in Kent, Wash.

The T-Birds (17-261-1) have just one win in their last 10 games and are 11 points back of sixthplace Kelowna (21-23-23) in the Western Conference.

The Rockets’ head coach is looking for his team to progress, not regress, after this week’s hard-fought, 3-2 shootout win over the Kamloops Blazers.

“It’s important for our guys to play the same way they have the last couple of games,” said Huska, the Rockets head coach.

“You don’t always get results, but if you’re working hard, overall success is going to come along with that.

“The guys need to stick together and play as a See Rockets A21

Rockets preparing Rockets from A20 team like they did against Kamloops,” he added.

“We want to keep getting better. Our leaders need to be prepared for Friday and if that happens, the rest of the guys will follow.”

The Rockets got past the Blazers for the first time in four tries this season, knocking off the B.C. Division leaders Wednesday night in a shootout.

Forward Zach Franko continued his shootout mastery for the Rockets, scoring for the seventh time in eight attempts this season. “(Zach) has a lot of confidence right now when he goes out there to shoot,” said Huska. “It’s no different than anything else in the game, when things are going well you feel like you can’t miss.

It’s going well for him right now.”

Wednesday’s game also marked the return to the Rockets’ lineup for defenceman Damon Sev-

erson who registered as assist and, according to his coach, had a significant impact on the game’s outcome.

Severson missed the last 16 games with a wrist injury.

“His return was very important for us,” Huska said of Severson. “Even as a 17-year-old he plays big minutes for us, and I think him being back really solidified our back end.

We weren’t quite as runaroundish as we have been at times this season.”

Friday night’s game against Seattle at Prospera Place will close out a fivegame home stand for the Rockets who were 2-2 in the first four games.

Warriors keep up playoff chase The Westside Warriors aren’t going quietly in their bid for a BCHL playoff berth.

The Warriors downed the Chilliwack Chiefs 5-2 Wednesday at Royal LePage Place, earning their fifth point in the last three games.

The win moved the sixth-place Warriors to within two points of fifthplace Vernon and eight behind the Chiefs and Prince

George Spruce Kings for the final berth. The Warriors have four games remaining against the Chiefs.

Max French opened the scoring on what was an emotional evening for the Warriors’ forward.

The Westside captain was dedicating the game to his friend Brittany Metro, who is in the midst of her second battle with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

Tied 1-1 in the second, the Warriors surged ahead on goals by Connor Dempsey and Shawn Ho-

chhausen.

After Chilliwack narrowed the score back to one in the second, the Warriors put the game away with power play markers from Dempsey and Marcus Basara. Seb Lloyd had two assists.

Neither team was able to score during a chippy third period which featured a pair of scraps after a stoppage of play in the Warriors end. Three play-

ers were ejected along with Chiefs coach Harvey Smyl. The teams combined for 80 minutes in penalties during the fracas.

The Warriors are on the road this weekend as they visit Vernon on Friday. Westside visits Salmon Arm next Wednesday, before returning home Friday, Feb. 4 to take on Alberni Valley.

The Warriors started strong against the Salmon Arm Silvertips beating Salmon Arm 10-3.

The next night the Warriors received scoring from the entire lineup again as they defeated the Kelowna Rockets Tier 2 team 9-3.

Stepping up a tier, the Warriors then played Kelowna’s tier 1 bantam team where, despite pulling their goaltender and having some scoring chances, came up just one goal short, losing to Kelowna 5-4.

Local skiers shine in first freestyle ski competition of the 2012 season More than 140 skiers from around British Columbia and Washington State gathered at Apex Mountain Resort in Penticton last weekend for the first freestyle ski competition of the season.

Liquid Lightning swimmers H2O proves a ‘fast pool’ chalk up new club records Records and personal best times fell as 40 Liquid Lightning swimmers competed at the Snowfest swim meet held at H2O Jan. 20 to 22. Lightning swimmers racked up 205 personal best time, the most ever, as well as 23 individual club records and two relay club records.

The club finished second to the Kamloops Classic in points with 40 first-place, 19 secondplace and 19 third-place finishes.

Jamie Ferguson, 14, swam all best times and set a club record in the 50 metre butterfly. She took nine seconds off her best time to win the 200 metre butterfly, and chalked up wins in the 50 breaststroke and 50 freestyle.

Dylan DaSilva, 10, swept his events. DaSilva took 29 seconds off his 200-m fly for the fourth fastest time for a 10-yearold boy swimming short course this season across Canada. DaSilva broke his own 10-and-under boys club record in the

200 fly as well as the 50 backstroke, 50 fly and 100 fly and took out Adam Kroom’s record in the 200-m back from 1997, as well as Craig Mathieson’s record in the 200-m breaststroke from 2009.

Lucas Tyler, 12, won the 50 fly, 100 back, 200 free and 200 fly. He keeps getting faster, breaking his own 11- and 12-yearold boys club records in the 50 free, 200-m free, 50-m fly, 200-m fly and 400-m Individual Medley as well as Christian KarglSimard’s records in the 50 breast from 1995 100-m back from 1996.

Alex Diaz, 14, took over nine seconds off his 1500 free and broke Julian Kirschner’s 13 and 14 boys club record from 1994 in the 800 free with an official split time of 9:36.85.

David Dimitrov, 20, swam to all personal bests and swept to wins in all his events. He broke Rob Charland’s long standing club record from 1995 in the 200-m breast with a

2:26.95. Dimitrov broke his own records in the 50 free, 100 back as well as records from 2011 in the 100 free, 50 back, 200 back and 50 breast.

Dimitrov, Quinn Kristiansen, Mitch Segal and Anthony Russo teamed up to set a club record in the men’s 200 freestyle and medley relays.

In the girls 13 and 14 division, Elizabeth Aguiar, 14, won the 200 freestyle and 200 back.

In girls 15 and over, Christina Russo, 16, took the 50 fly, 100 fly, and 200 free. Jenn Short, 16, won the 400 IM and the 200 fly. Kierra Smith, 17, won the 50 back, 800 free, 100 free, 200 back and 400 free. Danielle Douglas, 15, out touched the others in the 50 free.

Mitch Segal, 18, won the 400 IM Several swimmers earned 100 per cent personal bests including Sarah Collier, 12, who lopped over 35 seconds off her 200 free and Jacqueline Fagan, 11,

who erased 59 seconds from her 200 breast, and Kaithlin Boutin, 12.

Other notable swims included Will Zittlau took 74 seconds off his 200 fly for 14 year old boy AAA standard Wyatt Fagan, who took 48 seconds off his 200 free; Molly Harding chopped 16 seconds off her 200 breast; Daniel O’Brien erased 12 seconds off his 200 free; Nick Oliver subtracted 27 seconds off his 200 breast; Sara Roggeveen took 91 seconds off her 200 free; Mila Romain lopped 26 seconds off her 50 fly.

Robbie Wiebe subtracted 50 seconds off his 200 free and Emma Andreen took almost 20 seconds off her 200 free.

Emma Andreen, Wyatt Fagan, Molly Harding, Payton Lewis, Kiana Mcnulty and Sara Roggeveen swam to new A time standards while Zachary DaSilva and Noah McIntosh earned new AA time standards. Christopher Basisty got a new AAA standard.

The Kelowna AquaJets Swim Club hosted its second meet of the season last weekend, the 35th annual SnowFest, with fast and exciting competition from around the region.

The buzz in the swim community about H20 being a fast pool, held to be true with swimmers from all teams swimming unusually fast for so early into the New Year. Head Coach Pete Wilkins was very pleased with the meet as a whole, from the officiating and hospitality to the level of competition and quality of swims.

“It is really neat to see our Okanagan teams grow and develop since my arrival here last fall. All the teams up and down the valley are becoming more competitive and rising to new levels in the province and country”.

The AquaJets moved up a spot from the last few years, placing in third and outscoring Vernon for the first time in five years. Kamloops Classics finished in first with 3,087 points, Liquid Lightning in close second with 2,870 and not far behind the Kelowna AquaJets with 2,674, and Vernon Kokanee with 2,233 points.

AquaJet relays continue to get stronger and more competitive, breaking records almost every time they hit the water.

The 13-14 Boys team of Cam Feil, Sam McDonald, Josh Zakala and Michael Patora broke both records in the 4x50 Free and Medley relays in 1:55.94 and 2:11.59. The 11-12 AquaJets girls teams broke two records as well in the same events. Randi Thompson, Clarisse Obedkoff, Haley Martin and Emily Epp swam the Free relay in 2:13.71 eclipsing the old mark set in 2008 by a second. Obedkoff,

Jenna Butterworth, Thompson and Martin later broke the Medley record squeezing under the 2:30 mark in 2:29.89. Also breaking some records of her own, the youngest KAJ member at the meet, Kate Cartier (8) broke two club records in the 50 back, 48.04, and the 100 back, 1:42.44 in the 8 and under girls category.

Making waves of their own, Ian Dunlop, 11, and Cam Feil, 14, swam their first ever AAA Provincial qualifying times, earning them a spot on the team heading down to Surrey from March 1-4th. Dunlop qualified in the 200 Breast, while Feil made it in 3 events, 50 Free, 100 Free and 100 Back.

Battle lines drawn for opening round at WCBT The 39th edition of the Interior Savings Western Canada Basketball Tournament tips off Thursday, Feb. 2 at Kelowna Secondary School.

Here’s a look at the first-round match ups in the eight-team event, beginning with the host and No. 1 ranked KSS Owls.

• No.1 (B.C.) Kelowna Owls vs. No. 8 (Alta.) St Francis, Alberta—Feb 2, 8:15 p.m.

St. Francis Browns Style of play: an uptempo team that loves to push the ball up the floor and use both height and athleticism to their advantage.

Strengths: balance, depth and experience A trio of seniors lead the Browns from both inside and outside the paint as they travel to the Interior for Westerns. Leading rthe attack is senior point guard Isaac Agyei avertaging eight points and six assists per match.

Agyei is the on floor leader and is adept at conttrolling the flow of the game. He is lightning quick and can get into the paint with ease to create for his teammates or himself.

Inside, the Browns

are led by 6-foot-5 Kadin Majcher. This small forward has been with the program since grade 10 and has been a top scorer over the last three seasons.

Kadin is also a lockdown defender who takes great pride in defending the opponent’s top scorers. And contributing inside is 6-foot-6 forward Alex Auer. Auer averages 10 points and 10 rebounds per game and Alex is the right blend of height and athleticism.

KSS Owls Style of play: Up tempo, offence from defense Strengths: Scoring from inside and outside Most people who follow basketball in the Okanagan would say that this one of the most talented Owl teams in recent memory, yet coach Harry Parmar and his squad still have business to attend to this year. After entering the provincial championships as the second seed last year, the Owls did not finish strong, and a bitter taste has lingered since, giving the Owls added motivation.

KSS has been the number one ranked team for most of the season and expectations are running

high.

Inside force Braxton Bunce gives the Owls a bona fide big man with skills to match his size. At 6-foot-11, Bunce averages 20 points and 15 rebounds per game and can score from inside or outside.

Running the offence from the perimeter is senior point guard Mitch Goodwin.

Standing 6-foot-3 and being a phenomenal leaper, Goodwin can get his shot at will and distribute the ball over smaller, less athletic defenders.

Having nearly tasted victory at last year’s Westerns, the Owls have one thing only on their minds in 2012—victory.

Other opening round games: • No. 8 (B.C.) Kitsilano Blue Demons vs.

No 5 (B.C.) White Rock Christian Warriors—Feb. 2, 2:30 p.m.

Kitsilano Blue Demons Style of play: Up-tempo with a variety of defenses and offenses sets.

Look to push the ball when the opportunity arises Strengths: Good height and ability to run the fast break.

White Rock Christian Warriors Style of play: Skilled at every position, looks to create pressure both offensively and defensively, balanced offensive attack Strengths: Lots of big game experience, tough defensively and can knock it down from outside • No. 1 (Alta) Harry Ainlay Titans vs. No. 4 (B.C.) Tamanawis Wildcats—Feb. 2, 4:15 p.m.

Harry Ainlay Titans Style of play: Aggressive on both sides of the ball, push the tempo Strengths: In general, do not have a hard time scoring because of depth Tamanawis Wildcats Style of play: A well rounded team that can play inside and out, very unselfish Strengths: Play a team game • Balfour Collegiate Redmen vs. No. 2 (B.C.) Pitt Meadows Marauders—Feb. 2, 6 p.m.

Balfour College Redmen Style of Play: Multiple defenses, look to fast break, but are comfortable in half court situations Strengths: big game experience Pitt Meadows Ma-

DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR

BRAXSTON BUNCE and the Kelowna Owls will open the Interior Savings Western Canada Basketball Tournament next Thursday night against St. Francis from Alberta. rauders Style of play: Semifast break, control type of team

Strengths: Defense has been solid this year, depth at fifth to nine spots on the team

JOSHUA BELL & JEREMY DENK (SONY)

SOUNDING OFF

Classical music fans will be delighted by this new Joshua Bell album that features three sonatas for violin and piano, all from French composers in Camille Saint-Saens, Cesar Frank and Maurice Ravel.

Jeremy Denk provides the piano for these bright and charming sonatas but moreover, Denk also provides lengthy liner notes for the three compositions that really enlighten the experience for people like me, for example, who have a relatively narrow range of classical music experience—when I want some French impressionism, I always turn to my favourite Claude Debussy.

Joshua Bell is frothy and ebullient on these performances that will delight classical purists.

As odd as it may sound, there’s nothing odd about Lauren Mann and The Fairly Odd Folks; in fact, the young musician might be a prototype for how to do things right in the new music industry.

Talented, artistic to a fault, and ultimately pretty gutsy, when she hits town this week—for the third time within a year—she will be showcasing new work refined over hours and hours and hours of performing in front of audiences from coast to coast.

Her second album, Over Land and Sea, is due out this May and she released three songs midweek as a teaser.

“We went to Florida and had it professionally produced so there’s a full band and then a lot of orchestral work,” she said.

“It kind of takes the music where I’ve always hoped it would go.”

The songs released on her website—I Lost Myself, Lets Make our Escape and Weight of the World—still showcase her beautifully melodic way of dancing over each note, the opening trills pulling listeners gracefully into the more full-bodied sound of her accompaniment. While light and airy on I Lost Myself, though, there’s neverthe-

less a mournful undertone to Mann’s voice. Intentional or not, one can hear the influence of the deep south in this music and imagine her blending well among the ghosts of musicians past in New Orleans, floating her notes among the alligator waters and harmonica-toting street urchins.

Trained in classical piano, Mann broke from the Royal Conservatory tradition early and headed for jazz, a seemingly unique step for a teenage voice, though a path this generation of young musicians is blazing. From the recently departed Amy Winehouse to Adele, who is up for Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards this February, a return to the technically robust underpinnings of the genre has made a revival in popular music and one can see Mann’s folksy blend taking her a long way, should she keep up this pace.

Managed by her husband Zoltan Szoges, a one-time band leader from Ontario she met as he transited through Calgary on tour stops, Mann has told the Capital News the couple actually planned to work at summer camps when they married. The musical career was more a fantasy for her that might otherwise have gone unfulfilled had she never

It would appear the Canadian music scene is all the better for it. The songs unveiled off Over Land and Sea showcase an artist with the potential to becoming a top female singer/songwriter on the level of Sarah Harmer or Sarah McLaughlin.

The instrumentation added—clarinet, organ, and the band’s own guitar-family experiments—offer a little old world charm to balance her young voice, giving

Starting this new tour in Lethbridge, they will be joined by her band, The Fairly Odd Folk, including former hardcore drummer Aaron Fraser, who played with the indie rock group You Are a Weapon, and in Mann’s first band in Calgary. Szoges longtime friend, Mike Pardy, also a former hardcore band man from Behold the City, plays guitar and keys. The group rounds out with Szoges himself and Hammer Clarck, of Newfoundland, on base; they met him at a kids’ camp.

Since beginning their musical odyssey, Mann and her partner have really only stopped for a month, just outside Acme, Alberta, to develop the next album. Otherwise they have been pounding out shows in coffee shops and small bars, personally handling their press coverage and the logistics of touring.

This little lamb is loud Mitchell from A24

35-minute package of roots-styled country where Pickler takes a hand in co-writing half the songs where the bulk of the tunes fare nicely.

B-

turned this into a solid career that promises to blossom with this new third album.

Oddly, both of Pickler’s last albums hit No.1 on the country charts but did not enjoy very big hits. Her highest placing single was only at number 12 with Best Days Of Your Life that no doubt got a bigger boost of attention in that Pickler co-wrote the song with Taylor Swift.

This new album features the same producer, Frank Liddell, who made Miranda Lambert’s last album one of the best releases of last year and Liddell uses the same rootsy, neo-trad, stripped down style on this new album fittingly titled 100 Proof.

Pickler offers up some solid country rockers with Unlock The Honky Tonk, Stop Cheatin’ On Me and Where’s Tammy Wynette (the beleaguered ex-wife of George Jones whose signature song from 1968 was D.I.V.O.R.C.E.).

Pickler offers some lovely ballads here too, but gets a tad too cloying on the missive to a passed-on alcoholic father in The Letter (To Daddy), written from a little girl’s point of view.

But the rest of 100 Proof makes for a fine

LAMB OF GOD: RESOLUTION (EPIC)

There are three levels of metal bands: Those that just play in their basements for friends and family (if they can stand it); metal bands that have cult followings (and there are hundreds of them) and the rare platinum-selling major metal stars.

The veteran American band Lamb Of God, based out of Richmond, Virginia, are of the third sort where their last album, Wrath, hit the top spot on the album charts here and rose to the number two position on the USA album charts.

And there has been no shortage of Lamb Of God material for fans in the last few months. Their label released a three-CD box set of rarities and ma-

terial from indie releases titled The Hourglass anthology and this new studio album also comes as a two-disc Deluxe Edition with a live album of a dozen songs from their Wrath tour.

I have never claimed to be much of a fan of speed or death metal and at times the vocal FXs here are so over the top they sound cartoonish in their attempt to be so damned hellish. Titles such as Desolation, Ghost Walking, Cheated, Insurrection, To The End etc., along with hollered, screamed, bellowed lyrical snippets like “the walking dead” and “your life if passing by” pretty much tells Lamb Of God’s predilection for death metal.

There are a few rare for the genre guitar solos, while there are bluesy acoustic guitar signatures at the start of a couple of songs before the insanely blistering speed metal kicks in.

Finally, the album starts and ends with gasps for air as I suppose LOG take their last gasp or simply run out of energy. I have been getting way too many advance notices from their label about the release of this new set so watch for a major promo boost that could make this disc also hit number one.

Gaming grant access opened up

Arts, sports, animal welfare and environment groups are being encouraged by the province to apply for special community gaming grants in light of Victoria’s recent decision to increase the funds available.

The government added $15 million to its

$120-million base budget.

As a result, the province is holding a special intake between Jan. 16 and Feb. 13 so previously ineligible groups can apply for grants this fiscal year.

The groups include non-profit and charitable organizations that deliver services related to adult

arts and culture, adult sports, the environment and animal welfare. Animal shelters, fish and wildlife associations, lake and stream stewardship societies, district arts councils, museum societies, theatres and other similar groups are now eligible to apply online, she said.

“This special intake allows previously ineligible groups to apply for community gaming grants during this fiscal year,” said B.C. Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, Ida Chong.

Community Gaming Grants can make up a sig-

nificant portion of an organization’s budget and that is why the funding and reinstatement of several types of organizations is good news on many levels, said Robert Gloor, executive director of the Alliance for Arts and Culture.

“At the alliance, we

want to help get the word out about the special intake, so everyone who is eligible can benefit from this funding program,” he added For more information, go to www.pssg. gov.bc.ca/gaming/grants/ docs/info-special-intakegrants-2011-12.pdf.

Lack of snow cuts down on winter leisure activities F or many people, the current cold weather makes this the best time of year.

While the snow in town makes for slushy roads, cold hands and countless late slips in the mornings for school, the snow at Big White provides an exciting escape.

If, however, you’re

you’ve ever been up to the ski hill, winter may require a little more creativity when it comes to entertainment.

Normally, I try to engage in snowball fights or igloo building competitions. But this year, it hasn’t been social standards connected to my age that have prevented

me from doing so— it’s been the lack of snow.

And while I often enjoy going for walks with my friends and family, the recent ridiculous temperatures made doing so out of the question. Even with things warming up slightly, I still can’t longboard or go to the beach. It feels like Old

Man Winter is locking me inside my house, only letting me out to shovel the driveway (a responsibility I do my best to pass on to other members of the family).

So the question arises: When you’re almost forced to spend all your free time inside, how do you avoid boredom?

If you love music, learn a new song, write your own material, or check out some of the shows going on every week in Kelowna at the Streaming Café.

Perhaps you’re extremely passionate about taming wild animals, and your interests don’t translate quite as easily into feasible activities.

But there is always one thing you can do: Read a book (if that sounds lame, make it an e-book).

Reading in and of itself may seem boring, but it is more of a means of feeding your interests than scanning through a series of letters and periods.

No matter how quirky your interests are, it’s likely that someone has written a book on them.

So when the snow and cold are keeping you inside, you can find solace and entertainment in the fact that every interest you have can provide you with something to do.

The answer may lie in what you’re interested in.

I am sometimes guilty of being primarily interested in myself.

While inner reflection is a healthy thing with many positive aspects, self-absorption brings different outcomes.

When all my attention is focused internally, it leads to a disinterest in the world. And the reality is that the world is much more interesting than I am!

A preoccupation with myself will inevitably end in boredom, but there will always be things to feed an appetite and excitement for the world.

The other night I trudged my way through the snow on a quest to retrieve the latest edition of MacLean’s from the mailbox. Instead of sitting on the couch, thinking about the beach and my personal feelings towards it, my interest in politics provided a source of entertainment.

Politics may not be your thing, but as long as you are not your thing, your interests can be connected to some activity.

A STAFFER on the Cass Scenic Railroad checks the historic Shay steam locomotive. The historic hamlet of Cass, West Virginia, is a state park and attracts 75,000 visitors a year.

Ride the Cass Scenic Railroad in West Virginia Bob Downing CONTRIBUTOR

The Cass Scenic Railroad is a hard-working, up-the-mountain tourist rail line.

It’s a slow 7 miles per hour on the steampowered trains up Cheat Mountain to Whittaker Station and upward to Bald Knob on Back Allegheny Mountain.

That’s a climb of nearly 2,400 feet in 11 miles to Bald Knob (one of the highest peaks in West Virginia) with grades of up to 11 per cent.

That means the locomotives, mostly Shay engines once used by old lumber operations, gain 11 vertical feet for every 100 feet of hori-

zontal distance covered. Most commercial railroads consider a two per cent grade steep.

The line from Cass to Bald Knob was originally built in the early 1900s by the Greenbrier & Elk River Railroad Co. to haul timber out of the Allegheny Mountains in east-central West Virginia.

Today the line to Bald Knob winds from Cass at an elevation of 2,452 feet, up Leatherbark Creek, through the forests and up two switchbacks to Whittaker Station at 3,264 feet.

There you can picnic or visit an old lumber camp to learn what it was like to be a so-called wood hick living in the woods and logging nearby mountains in the 1940s. The camp was built

and is operated by the Mountain State Railroad & Logging History Association.

The line continues north past the old logging town of Spruce at 3,950 feet and then to Bald Knob at 4,842 feet elevation. You can climb an old fire tower or hike through a red spruce forest more typically found in Canada. The summit is just over a half-mile and 140 feet above the train’s stopover point.

You are likely to catch a big whiff of smoky soot from the locomotive as you sit in open-sided rail cars. But that’s part of the old-time charm.

Welcome to West Virginia’s Cass Scenic Railroad, a unique state park that is 11 miles long and 50 feet wide.

The park also includes much of the hamlet of Cass, a one-time lumber boom town with 2,000 residents, with its old company-owned houses and buildings. It is on the National Register of Historic Places.

All told, the park covers fewer than 400 acres.

The railroad was built in 1901 by the West Virginia Pulp & Paper Co. It cut and harvested red spruce trees for papermaking in Covington, Va. A sawmill was quickly added.

Mill town turned to tourism in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s Virginia from A29 week of supplies went through Cass to a dozen logging camps in the surrounding hills.

West Virginia Pulp & Paper built the hamlet of Cass and continued its lumbering operations until 1943, when it was sold to the Mower Lumber Co. It closed in 1960.

During its heyday from 1908 to 1922, the company employed 3,000 men, the mill operated two 11-hour shifts six days a week, and it handled 1.5 million board feet of lumber per week. Its mill was destroyed by fires in 1978 and 1982.

Cass housed a giant planing mill. It was three

storeys high and measured 224 feet by 96 feet. It housed flooring machines that took 15 men to operate. All four sides of the flooring were finished in one operation.

The state of West Virginia acquired the railroad in 1961 and the tourist trains began running in 1963. It got 23,000 passengers that first year. The line was expanded to Bald Knob in 1968 and the state acquired much of the town in 1977.

The Cass Scenic Railroad is one of the only authentic museums for lumber railroads in the United States. West Virginia once had 3,000 miles of logging railroads.

Today the railroad of-

fers excursions from late May to late October in Pocahontas County. It annually attracts 75,000 train passengers and 100,000 park visitors.

The railroad has five Shay steam locomotives, one Heisler and one Climax. The engines were designed especially for mountain use.

Its flagship locomotive is Shay No. 5 that was built in 1905. The C80-3 Shay has been running on Cheat Mountain for more than 100 years. The 90-ton locomotive was designated West Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official state steam locomotive in 2004 by the state legislature.

Shay No. 6 is the last Shay engine ever built,

also sponsors dinner trains and other special events.

Tickets include admission to the Cass Showcase with its slide show and diorama, the Railroad and Logging History Museum and the logging camp tour.

Free tours of the railroad locomotive repair shop and the town of Cass are offered regularly. Cass is compact and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to do a half-hour walking tour on sidewalks, alleys and wooden boardwalks.

The town has changed little from the early 1900s, officials say.

You can walk past the old Cass Hotel. It was reputable and on the right side of the tracks from other hotels, bars and brothels on Dirty Street across the tracks and other locations across the Greenbrier River.

The old three-story company store next to the depot was built in 1902 as the Pocahontas Supply Co. and now houses a restaurant and museum.

Today the post office is in an old meat market that once butchered 25 pigs and 25 cows a week to feed the residents of Cass.

But the most striking thing about Cass is the former company-owned

houses that are still standing. You can even rent one.

The nearly identical two-story white houses, built in the early 1900s, each have a living room, dining room and kitchen downstairs and three bedrooms upstairs. Bathrooms were added starting in the 1920s.

Owners and renters could put on additions with free lumber from the company. When a house was sold, the deed included a provision that the house could only be sold back to the company for the exact amount that the worker had paid for it.

The company-owned houses line several streets and have been restored.

At present, 20 cottages are available to rent. They draw tourists and train buffs spring to fall and skiers in the winter. Snowshoe Mountain, the largest ski resort in West Virginia, is 11 miles west of Cass off state Route 66.

The Cass cottages can accommodate 6 to 12 people. They are equipped with microwave stoves and televisions with basic cable. There is no air conditioning and no telephone. Rates range from $75 to $111 a night depending on the season.

On Bald Knob, you can rent a cabin once used by a ranger who manned the nearby fire tower. You ride the train and then hike three-quarters of a mile to the cabin. The rate is $50 a night plus railroad tickets.

The railroad also offers overnight stays in cabooses for up to three adults and two children at Whittaker Station, Spruce and Bald Knob. You ride the train to your caboose, stay the night and return the next day. The rates start at $85 a night at Whittaker Station and $119 at Spruce and Bald Knob plus railroad tickets.

Pack lightly for the cabin or cabooses, because space on the train for your gear is limited.

MOTORING ▼ JURIED SELECTION

2012 Audi A7 Sportback chosen as Best of the Best

CONTRIBUTED

THE AUDI A7 SPORTBACK has been named as the 2012 Best of the Best Winner by the Canadian Automotive Jury.

A jury of 10 senior Canadian automotive journalists has selected the new Audi A7 Sportback as the Canadian Automotive Jury’s 2012 Best of the Best winner.

The announcement was made last week at the Montreal Auto Show.

From this year’s dozen Best of the Best Finalists—including the BMW 1 Series, Chevrolet Cruze and Volt, Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, Infiniti M, Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, Kia Optima, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Mini Cooper Countryman, the 2011 Best of the Best winning Ford Fiesta—the Audi A7 was recognized as “the one and only, best of the best” of the current crop of 2012 model year vehicles

sold in Canada.

In a tightly contested voting session, the Kia Optima was this year’s first runner-up.

In choosing the A7 as this year’s winner, the jury cited its “gorgeous” styling, while inside, the A7 is equally attractive. As per the A6 sedan it’s based upon, the A7 is jammed with Audi’s excellent Quattro all-wheeldrive system and the latest in-car hi-tech.

Yet despite its practical aspirations, the A7 is quiet on the road when required, but can act like a sports sedan when its 310 hp, supercharged 3.0-litre V6 is called upon, while an even spicier 420 hp See Juried Best B3

NICE, FRANCE— Volkswagen’s sporty CC, a four-door sedan with the stylish look of a coupe, has undergone an extensive refresh for 2013 with a new-look at the front and rear.

Thankfully, though, the CC’s side silhouette remains largely unchanged since it was introduced in 2009 and called the Passat CC, leaving the sexy sports sedan to mimic the swoopy, modern look of the Mercedes CLS at a much lower price.

Set for a May launch in Canada, pricing for the new CC will be announced at the Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto in February.

But unlike the new Passat and Jetta models that have moved down market somewhat to appeal to a broader range of North American buyers, the CC is instead moving upwards to challenge premium brands like Lexus and BMW. Clearly the CC is designed to be the styling leader for the brand, which has enjoyed a banner year in Canada and around the world.

“This (the CC) is the European sports sedan in our lineup in Canada. We wanted this car to appeal to the European sports sedan aficionados,” said Thomas Tetzlaff, Volkswagen Canada’s manager of public relations.

Volkswagen Canada set an all-time record in 2011 with sales of 52,604 units, up 15.9 per cent over the previous year.

Jetta, Golf, Tiguan and Touareg models make up 90 per cent of VW Canada sales, but niche products like the CC help to

add to the sales numbers and bring customers into the dealerships.

A fairly extensive list of content will be added as standard fare on the CC this time around. The most significant change will be the seating configuration.

The CC coming to Canada now seats five instead of four with the rear seat now a 60/40 split folding bench instead of the twin buckets of the outgoing model.

But that’s not a bad thing because rear seat room is generous and the seats comfortable, making the CC a more versatile performer than before.

The CC’s face has had a makeover for 2013 with Volkswagen’s distinctive design DNA evident in the front grille comprised of horizontal chrome bars with the VW logo front and centre.

The rectangular bixenon headlights round off as they meld into the fenders, while the lower front fascia is also revised for 2013, again with horizontal styling cues and fog lamps. At the rear is a cool-looking new taillight system employing LED technology.

Two familiar engine choices are offered in the new model, a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine, producing 200 hp and 207 lb/ ft of torque through the rev range of 1700 to 5000 rpm. Standard with this is a six-speed manual transmission, with a six-speed automatic direct shift gearbox (DSG) with Tiptronic optional.

Also available is a 280 hp, 3.6-litre V6 engine with 4MOTION all-

MOTORING wheel drive. This comes only with the six-speed automatic with Tiptronic.

Tweaks to both engines promise improved fuel economy, but Transport Canada ratings have yet to be announced so I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet verify that claim from the manufacturer.

My driving partner and I got to sample both powerplants during a ride and drive along the narrow, winding roads in and around the coastal city of Nice in the south of France.

While we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tconsider the CC a big car

by North American standards, on these roads it is and you have to be extra alert if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re driving anything larger than a compact car because the lanes in many places are very narrow, particularly when ra bus or truck passes to the tside. f Some switchbacks are so tight you almost have to do a three-point turn to get around them, crossing tyour fingers and hoping at the same time that an approaching vehicle doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cut the corner too closely and clip your front end.

Thankfully, the CC is nimble and easy to maneuver, but its real strength is as a highway cruiser.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken the previous model on a couple of tlong-distance road trips and the car is an absolute delight to drive. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect the same of the new one, which is unchanged in rits dimensions and basic shape.

The CC seems to carve through the air with ease, thanks in part of its texcellent aerodynamics and 0.28 coefficient of drag.

Inside, the cabin is decidedly upscale with highquality, soft touch materials that match the best in the business from Audi /and Volvo.

Standard on the CC is dual-zone electronic climate control along with Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity. Heated front tseats and a 12-way power driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat are also standard across the trim lines.

The base model is the 2.0L TSI Sportline, which comes with 17-inch alloys, eight-speaker pre-

mium audio system, rearview camera (another new standard feature for 2013) and bi-xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights and Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS).

The 2.0L Highline adds 18-inch alloys, panoramic sunroof, leather wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters, leather upholstery, and driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat and exterior mirror memory.

The 3.6L Highline comes with Volkswagenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tried and true 4Motion all-wheel drive system with adaptive torque distribution. Rear power sunshade, Dynaudio premium sound system, navigation system and Sirius satellite radio are other standard features on this model.

On the safety front, six airbags are standard along with electronic stability control, anti-lock braking system, tire pressure monitoring system, hill hold assist (for manual transmission) and a crash response system that cuts fuel supply and electronics, disconnects battery terminals, turns on the hazard lights and unlocks the doors.

The CC is a niche vehicle for Volkswagen, which hopes to sell 1,500 to 1,600 units in Canada this model year. Competition comes from the BMW 323i, Honda Accord Coupe, Acura TSX, Lexus IS, Altima Coupe and Hyundai Sonata.

The 2013 CC goes on sale in May.

Audi judged Best of the Best by auto journalists Juried Best from B1 V8 version, dubbed S7, is coming later this year.

Picture automotive designer Michael Torpey, one of the bright lights at Kia’s California studios, inspired by a television wildlife special, sketching out animal caricatures while killing time on an airline flight.

Among the drawings is a fanciful portrayal of a wild boar wearing a backpack.

And, ta-da-a-ah, the Kia Soul is born!

OK, maybe it was a little more involved than that. But designers constantly look to the living world for inspiration before they turn to shaping clay, steel and glass.

And, although the tusks are only subtly hinted along the front wheel arches and the whole backpack-thingy eventually morphed into the tall rectangular rear lines of the production version, the Soul somehow kept the character of the original concept, the unique slope from shoulder to

tail, the compact muscular tension, the chunky build, stance and angular construction.

And it worked.

The Kia Soul was well received in 2009 when the 2010 model year version debuted. But Kia designers have wasted little time in making a good thing better with a new and refreshed 2012 Soul.

“The Soul is an important vehicle for Kia Canada. From its headturning design to its functional and inviting interior, the Soul has all the key ingredients to experience success in our market,” said Robert Staffieri, director of marketing at Kia Canada.

“The latest Soul enhances this offering with even greater levels of comfort, power, and efficiency while preserving its cool factor.”

And cool it is.

The Soul’s exterior design is still fresh enough to catch the eye, so there has been little in the way of change to the basic design. But the front and

rear fascia pieces have been exaggerated to project a wider, more aggressive stance. And new headlamp assemblies, taillights, side mirrors and wheels have updated the Soul’s contemporary quirkiness.

Keeping in mind that this compact five-seater starts at economy pricing levels, any concerns about the initial product would have been about engine power and noise levels.

This newest 2012 Soul starts to address those concerns with an upgraded interior to reduce noise, vibration and harshness (NVH). Under the skin are two new engines and two new sixspeed transmissions, geared for more power, improved fuel economy and reduced emissions.

The Soul starts with a 1.6-litre GDI (gasoline direct injection) engine that makes 138 hp (up 16 hp over the previous motor). This base engine comes with a standard six-

MOTORING Kia from B4 speed manual transmission that replaces the previous five-speed. A new, optional six-speed automatic has bumped the old four-speed version.

The 1.6-litre is perky enough to please, but customers in search of a little more oomph can opt up for the new 2.0-litre engine harnessing a healthy 164 hp (up 22 hp) with tthe same choice of transrmissions. Unfortunately, we don’t get the diesel tfour-banger available in Europe and other markets and, keeping in mind the economy level position mentioned earlier, only front-wheel-drive is available.

New standard additions to the Soul lineup rare rounded out by the addition of tilt/telescopic steering, Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) and a Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) system. There’s a new Infinity audio system and a UVO audio infotainment system available for top-of-the-line trims.

And, speaking of trim, the 2012 Soul comes in a dizzying array of seven different trim levels—1.6, 1.6 ECO, 2U, 4U, 4U Retro, 4U Burner, and 4U Luxury. If that’s not enough flavour choice, customers can pimp the personalization factor from a list of over 60 accessories, with everything from sport spoilers to dragon decals, even a tent attachment.

I’ll stick with describing my as-tested offering, starting with the base 1.6-litre engine and the typically healthy list of allinclusive standards set by most Korean manufacturers—six airbags, fourwheel disc brakes bolstered by technologies that include Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Traction Control System (TCS), Electronic Brake

Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist System (BAS).

The base model comes with 15-inch steel wheels, tilt/telescopic electric power steering (EPS), tinted glass, power windows, power door locks, heated power mirrors, heated front seats and Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity, and a four-speaker AM/FM/ CD/MP3 stereo with aux and iPod ports. Also standard are fog lights, autooff headlamps, body-coloured door handles and outside mirrors, variable intermittent windshield wipers and a rear wiper/ washer.

If air conditioning was included, it would be perfect. This well-stocked 2012 Soul base model starts at a very competitive $16,595.

My tester added the six-speed Steptronic automatic along with an Active Eco System that can be engaged to reduce acceleration response and change transmission shift patterns for better mileage. The air conditioning also comes with this package, with a driver’s armrest thrown in to boot.

Soul has beat the competition with an optional, fuel-saving Idle Stop and Go (ISG) system that temporarily turns off the engine when the vehicle is not in motion, like, say at a stoplight.

This is the first time I’ve come across the technology in a non-hybrid application and, because it doesn’t use the larger electric motor of a hybrid, restarts ring with that classic “ning-ning-ning” starter motor sound. But the engine gets up and going before your foot can make the transition from brake to gas pedal. It’s not perfect.

The ISG only works when the engine management system decides that all of the right criter-

ia have been met—battery condition, grade angle, steering angle, even whether the ambient temperature is between -2? C to 35? C, which rules out a good-sized chunk of the Canadian winter.

But it remains an impressive start and hopeful step towards a universal idle-free future.

With this combination of technologies, the Soul 1.6 ECO with the ISG system offers an optimistic 7.0/5.4L/100km (city/hwy) rating, although those lab numbers are rarely reflected in real world driving.

My combined averages were a more realistic

8.3L/100km.

The Kia Soul is a pleasure to drive with more than adequate power, well-finished interior appointments and tall, boxy dimensions that create an airy and roomy cabin for passengers, along with 546 litres (19.3 cu.ft.) of cargo space, expanding to 1,511 litres (53.4 cu.ft.) with the 60/40 second row folded.

The Kia Soul was designed for a youthful audience but I think it offers cross-generational appeal courtesy of contemporary styling, funky personality, large-windowed openSee Kia B6

Nissan Frontier Crew Cab SL 2012 still the no compromise pickup Rob Beintema CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

The 2012 Frontier has come a long way from its diminutive Datsun pickup beginnings.

Nissan boasts that the Frontier is “a no-compromise pickup forged with premium hardware, extraordinary power and off-road athleticism, a leader in the mid-size truck segment with bestin-segment horsepower torque, towing and payload specifications.”

The compact pickup segment seems to have reached a kind of critical mass. Manufacturers simply can’t resist the urge to make successive models bigger and better, so the cheap little pickups of the past have morphed into mid-size monsters with almost the same abilities and amenities as their fullsize siblings.

It’s hard to compete against the breadth of domestic pickups, but the Frontier gives it a game try with a lineup that offers a selection of King Cab and Crew Cab models, two powertrain choices, automatic or manual transmissions, normal or long box cargo beds, special offroad packages and a variety of trim levels.

Although the basic ‘trucky’ style of the Frontier has remained fixed over the last decade or so, the constant evolution of content includes recent tweaks like last year’s addition of Vehicle Dynamic Control standard on all V6 models, and Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist made standard on all V6 A/T 4x4 models.

For 2012, Nissan has added a new Sport Appearance Package on King Cab and Crew Cab SV models and Two-

Wheel Brake Limited Slip (ABLS) and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) are now standard on fourcylinder engine equipped models.

But we’re getting ahead of ourselves, so let’s briefly touch on the entry-level model before reviewing our as-tested version.

Nissan does not offer a regular cab pickup without rear seating, so the Frontier lineup starts with a King Cab S model, an extended cab version with suicide doors and flipdown rear seating.

The King Cab S harnesses a 152 hp 2.5-litre DOHC four-cylinder engine mated to a fivespeed manual transmission in 4X2 configuration.

Fuel economy is rated at 10.7/8.7L/100km (city/ hwy).

This entry-level comes pretty well-equipped with four-wheel disc ABS braking with EBD, a long bed with locking tailgate and cargo bed light, dual heated mirrors, air conditioning, power door locks, power windows, remote keyless entry, cruise control, twin DC power outlets a fold-flat front passenger seat for indoor cargo and a four-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system. Priced at $24,478, this starter pickup is an obvious choice for the single commuter or construction worker looking for pickup utility and/or attitude.

All other Frontier models above this standard entry—SV, SL and the offroad-oriented PRO4X version—come in varying degrees of sophistication and content, with my as-tested Frontier Crew Cab SL 4X4 sitting firmly at the fully-loaded opposite end of the content spectrum.

Like all the other trim

levels, except for the base model, the SL harnesses Nissan’s 4.0-litre DOHC 24-valve V6 engine making a prodigious 261 hp at 5600 rpm with a peak torque of 281 lb/ft.

See Nissan B8

CONTRIBUTED

THE 2012 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab SL features a long box (73.3 in) cargo bed with cargo lights, removable locking tailgate, spray-on bedliner and Nissan’s Utili-track tie-down system.

Nissan also boasts about fuel economy with this V6 engine, offering a rather optimistic 14.8/10.4L/100km (city/ hwy) rating but, based on previous experience with this engine in the Frontier and Xterra, I was not surprised by my real world results of 18.7L/100km.

Admittedly, my driving split was more city than highway but it was also without passengers or

THE

payload.

The V6 can be mated to a six-speed manual or, in this case, a fivespeed automatic. Frontier 4x4 models include a shift-on-the-fly fourwheel drive system with 2WD/4H/4LO modes operated by a dial on the dash that electronically controls a part-time transfer case.

Inside, the Frontier Crew Cab SL is leatherclad and loaded with luxuries that, among them, include a power moonroof, Bluetooth Homelink, power heated leather seats, steering wheel con-

trols and a very nice 380watt Rockford Fosgate nine-speaker AM/FM/ XM/6CD audio system.

The interior was uniform grey but my only real complaint was the un-illuminated steering wheel controls, an oversight you’d expect with an econo beater, not on a $40K flagship.

Although the rear seating is as tight as in a compact car, the Crew Cab is more family-friendly, offering full four-door access, real 60/40 bench seating and 854 mm (33.6 in) of legroom compared to the 645 mm (25.4 in) of the King Cab with its flipdown seats and cramped confines.

The truck rides on a tightly-bound suspension with some shake, no rattle and just a bit of roll, pretty well what you’d expect from a vehicle designed for real hauling capabilities.

This SL model comes with a funky roof rack that adds a little macho posturing along with its extra hauling potential and, in back, let’s not forget a versatile cargo bed that includes a factory-applied spray-on bedliner and Nissan’s Utili-track tie-down system with five special “C” cross-section rails mounted in the bed (two channels in the bed floor, one each on the bed side rails and the bed header panel). Removable utility cleats slide along the channels to help secure cargo. Other accessories include bed dividers, sliding cargo trays and modular storage units.

The modern pickup is a great networking tool. Owners will find themselves meeting many new friends, most of them needing help moving something the following weekend.

And with increasing content and sedan-like passenger comforts, pickups have crossed over into

a general-purpose class of vehicle that fits into more owners’ lifestyles.

But increasing size and sophistication, moving into midsize dimensions and price points— this model at more than $40K is a good example— has created a competition quandary with full-sized pickups that has resulted in some manufacturers dropping their compact truck lineups completely.

And, while one might regard the timeless styling of pickups like the Frontier as reassuring for the faithful who love familiarity, others might consider these traditional trucks as dated designs that are not exactly exciting a potential next generation of customers.

The Frontier itself, has probably joined the Titan in Nissan’s design studios at this very moment, in search of better fuel economy and refreshed styling, with makeovers slated for 2013 or so. With the recent re-invention of the truckheritage Pathfinder as a unibody crossover, the future is anyone’s guess.

But, for 2012, in a shrinking compact truck market niche, the Frontier offers a lineup of capable trucks with a wide variety of trim choices for Canadian truck lovers, a lineup culminating in this 2012 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab SL 4X4.

NISSAN FRONTIER 2012 CREW CAB SL 4X4

Body Style: mid-size pickup truck Drive Method: frontengine, 4X4 Engine: 4.0-litre 24-valve DOHC V6 (261 hp, 281 lb/ft) Fuel Economy: 14.8/10.4L/100 km (city/ hwy) Tow Rating: 2767 kg (6100 lb) Price: $41,613 (not including freight & PDE) Website: www.nissan.ca

CONTRIBUTED

INSIDE THE FRONTIER, the SL trim level is re-

flected by leather-clad appointments and increased content levels including a 380-watt Rockford Fosgate ninespeaker AM/FM/XM/6CD audio system.

March 17, 1937 - Jan. 27, 2011 I sat beside your bedside, My heart was crushed and sore.

I did my best until the end, Til I could do no more.

In tears I saw you sinking, And watched you fade away.

Although my heart was breaking, I knew you could not stay.

To some you are forgotten, To others part of the past.

But to those who have loved and lost you, Your memory will always last.

When losing someone you loved, they become a memory.

And memory becomes a treasure.

Love always, your wife Shirley & Family

REPIN, PETER Peter - passed away on January 24, 2012. God saw you getting tired when a cure was not to be, so he wrapped His loving arms around you and whispered “Come to Me”. You didn’t deserve what you went through, so He gave you rest.

YABLONSKI, EUGENE Eugene Yablonski born November 11, 1929 died January 20, 2012 at the age of 82. He has gone to be with the Lord whom he loves. Gene is survived by his loving wife Linda of 50 years and his daughter Pauline. Survived by four brothers, Michael ( Leeta) of Saskatoon, Joe ( Marg ) of Parksville, Albert of Surrey, John ( Bernice) of Ottawa, two sisters, Mary Paradis of North Vancouver, Liz( Ken ) Ashton of Saskatoon, two brothers-in-law, Ray Grigg ( Joyce Baker ) of Quadra, David Grigg of Vernon and many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his brother Victor of Victoria.

We ache with sadness at the loss of Gene but celebrate his freedom in heaven. We love him beyond measure as he loves us. We cannot eloquently enough describe such a great man who blessed our family and gave tirelessly to the community. Gene received his Bachelors of Education from UBC and was a Teacher, Vice Principal and Principal. He taught for 45 years, loved what he did, cared about every student in the school for each of those years and reluctantly retired in 1995. In School District 23 he was at George Pringle Jr. Secondary School, Dr. Knox Secondary and Kelowna Secondary School - each of which he cared for dearly. He loved coaching all sports (countless school teams and Pauline’s childhood soccer team), running, playing soccer, watching hockey and football. Hobbies were cooking and gardening. We cannot list the entirety of service Eugene provided, all without expectation of ever being acknowledged. We are humbled by the magnitude of his contribution and influence on the lives of others.

Eugene served every community he lived in whole heartedly. In Kelowna Gene was chairman of Habitat for Humanity Kelowna, as Chairman of the church board of St Paul’s United Church, and on the Lakeview Community Association board. Memorial Service to be held at Springfield Funeral Friday, January 27, 2012 at 4 pm. The end of the school day. Please come and join us to celebrate and remember Gene. In lieu of flowers Eugene, Linda and Pauline prefer donations to the Eugene Yablonski Award an annual bursary organized with Central Okanagan Bursary and Scholarship Society #1-616 KLO Road, Kelowna, BC V1Y 4X4 Web: www.cobss.ca.

SHOWCASE W WOODLAND HILLS

Landscape design an intriguing home asset Bobbi-Sue Menard CONTRIBUTOR

The Okanagan Valley is lauded for its beauty, but when it comes time to create the intimate outdoor space around a home, landscaping can daunt the most passionate homeowner.

The Woodland Hills neighbourhood in Kelowna’s lower Mission offers an exceptional and decisive approach to extraordinary landscaping.

This past year has seen the efforts of the development team grow into an intriguing mix of mature trees, carefully chosen plants and designed outdoor living features.

Woodland Hills is situated on a ridge line overlooking the Lower Mission.

The geography of the site created the opportunity for main floor outdoor living spaces.

Unlike hillside development which lends itself to walkout rancher homes with the back yard access from the basement, the ridge allows for outdoor access from the main living areas.

This creates great privacy and more opportunity to take advantage of outdoor living as an everyday occurrence.

Lot orientation and building envelopes that are slightly skewed to the

lot lines add an extra dimension of privacy and eliminate the standard narrow pathways between side by side homes.

Plantings are more robust and create an estate feel between homes.

The lush plantings and orientation of the homes creates an opportunity for more windows with no loss of privacy to the neighbors.

It demonstrates why planning the landscaping along with the floor plan of a new home build should be and integral part of the design process.

The integrated approach means light floods through corner windows and outdoors views from multiple points inside a room are created.

Rooms feel larger and less constrained than a standard ‘box’ with a single point of view.

The current show home at Woodland Hills has a back yard that even in winter is a show case of landscaping and outdoor living design.

Directly from the main floor kitchen and dining room are receding glass walls that offer expansive summer access directly to the contoured patio and pool.

Beyond the infinity edge of the pool is a pair of clear shot views south over the lake and east overlooking part of the Lower and Up-

per Mission. The landscaping is intricately detailed with three main sitting areas, almost islands or oasis in the midst of a water feature. The areas are reached with installed stepping stone paths that cross over the water features.

At the outer edge of the space is the outdoor kitchen area with a gazebo roof with a full dining area.

The retaining wall behind the space is curved and nestled with the wall’s design is the water fountain that flows downward and feeds the waterways throughout the property.

The waterways are constructed of sealed concrete; it is quality lasting approach only made possible by and exacting design process.

The infinity edge pool has its own separate sitting area with a pair of chaise lounges perched on the built in platform at the edge, begging for days of indulgent sun tanning in the summer.

The patio between the house and the pool has plenty of space for entertaining and relaxing.

The finishing touches include and modern outdoor open fireplace and the continuation of the water feature below.

A triple set of fountains pours over a series of stepped brick into a

burbling pond. All of this is punctuated by carefully chosen plant material closer to the home with an eye to blending with natural mature landscape of the Okanagan hillside beneath the ridge line.

The entire Woodland Hills neighbourhood calls for the same level of planned landscaping throughout the development with and emphasis on privacy, clever details and creating an established landscape as quickly as possible.

The goal is to achieve the aesthetic qualities of well built and long cared for neighborhood from the beginning.

Woodland Hills is in the process of building another showhome. The architecture will be lovely, but landscaping is worth a trip on its own. Showhome viewing hours are is open noon to 4 p.m., Wednesday to Sunday.

CONTRIBUTED

New showhome at Woodland Hill development in Kelowna reflects how attention to landscaping detail can create an intimate outdoor space to complement the house and add to the available living space.

Home-sites starting at $143,900. Lake view sites starting at $219,500.
