anadians tend to think the Okanagan Valley ends at our border in Osoyoos, but in fact, it’s just a sub-basin of the much-larger Columbia River Basin, most of which lies in the United States. It’s a perspective that became clearer during the three-day Osoyoos Lake Water Science Forum this
week, which was organized by the Okanagan Basin Water Board and sponsored by the International Joint Commission, the communities of Osoyoos and Oroville, the Osoyoos Indian Band and government agencies in both countries. The theme of the forum was Shared Water, Shared Future. About 160 citizens, politicians and scientists from both sides of the international boundary listened and learned, asked questions and made
comments with the idea that all the information will be used by the six members of the IJC board in making a decision on what to include in new orders governing the waters of the trans-border Osoyoos Lake. The current orders are up for renewal in February, 2013, after 25 years, and there are many proposals for changes to them, all of which would have some impact on upstream water users in the Okanagan.

CLOSE-UP ▼ CANADA VS. UNITED STATES
Prioritizing water needs raising user conflicts from A3 Further south in the basin, as aquifers dry up due to expanding populations, U.S. farmers and power users are desperately casting about for new sources of water, while biologists and Indian bands work to restore historic runs of sockeye salmon up the Columbia system into the Okanagan—restoration work which also requires a reliable source of water. Delegates heard a string of speakers describe why their needs should top the priority list for access to water from the Okanagan, including Washington State Senator Bob Morton, South Okanagan MP Alex Atamanenko; BoundarySimilkameen MLA John Slater, Osoyoos Indian Band Chief Clarence Louie and representatives from the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation in Washington State. Lana Pollack, who chairs the U.S. section of the IJC, says their decision will ultimately be an attempt to balance a multitude of interests, from tourism to agriculture; habitat requirements to drinking water for a growing population on both sides of the border. “The fact is there’s a finite amount of water and increased unknowns due to such factors as climate change,” she notes. She says her Michigan home near the Great Lakes is water rich, while the Okanagan is a beauti-
ful high desert—with the least water per capita of any water basin in Canada. “There are a lot of big issues on the table,” she admits, adding that the information from the forum will be invaluable as a basis for the commission’s decision. Presentations on each of eight scientific reports commissioned by the IJC were heard at the forum, along with the recommendations from each about how the orders should be amended. Probably the most controversial for Canadians is the suggestion by a professor from Washington State University that instead of lake levels, the orders should be based on flows across the border. Michael Barber was blunt in his presentation: “At some point, growth and climate change impacts will have to be shared between people and fish. Basin-wide water management must be used to meet the demands. The solutions don’t stop at the border.” Canadians such as Osoyoos mayor and chairman of the OBWB, Stu Wells are concerned that to maintain flows for users south of the border, those on the Canadian side in the Okanagan Valley will have an inadequate supply—particularly in drought years. *** Kari Alex, a fisheries biologist with the Okanagan Nation Alliance, told forum delegates that water quality as well as quantity are of vital im-

The ONA’s mandate is restoration of indigenous species, she said, despite the obstacles that have been put in the way over the years: dams and channelization of the rivers for irrigation and flood control; loss of 88 per cent of the wetlands in the valley; introduction of exot-
ic species of fish such as bass and walleye which compete with native species; and the introduction of invasive species such as mysis shrimp and Eurasian water milfoil. However, she said a project that began 15 years ago to restore the natural, more-complex habitat along a section of the Okanagan River has now been completed, with dyke setbacks Finance from

Fellow commissioner Lyall Knott, of Vancouver, noted the orders should be a reflection of the community. Pollack said although

and re-connected oxbows where spawning beds for fish will help improve their survival. Salmon have now been re-introduced into Skaha Lake and more than half the Columbia River run of sockeye today comes from the Okanagan Valley, she said. In a prayer at the opening of the forum, Osoyoos Band Elder Modesta Betterton noted, “We can’t live without water; humans, plants and animals all need it.” “Water is the most important thing.” The line that is the international boundary between Osoyoos and Oroville divided the Colville Confederated Tribes from the Okanagan Nation, but it doesn’t stop them from working together to restore habitat for salmon on both sides of the border. *** Pollack talks about the importance of frequent collaboration on crossborder issues and points to the International Watershed Initiative as a “dispute prevention” tool used by the IJC in some transboundary watersheds. The IJC’s Geographic Information Systems coordinator, Michael Laitta, explained that the IWI boards work collaboratively with the IJC and must be holistic, involve an equal number of board members from both countries, as well as bringing an equal amount of money from both countries to the table. “It shepherds communities to confront

Further measures to bolster the university’s fundraising prowess will be announced next week at UBC’s Point Grey campus in Vancouver. “This will be the largest campaign in the history of the Okanagan,� said UBCO deputy vicechancellor and president Doug Owram, although admitting that history is only six years long. Established in 2005, UBC’s second campus has grown exponentially since the expansion was unveiled by former B.C. premier Gordon Campbell. With nearly four times the number of students as its first intake year, UBCO has added buildings for an engineering department, for a larger fine arts area, more arts and science students, medical students and residence areas resembling high-end townhouses in the past six years. This campaign was unveiled in the University Centre, one of the newer buildings opened on the site. During the press conference it was also announced that build-out will continue with the addition of a gym dubbed the Hangar Fitness and Wellness Centre. This latest addition

NEWS â–ź SNELSON TRIAL
Cusworth murder consumed city after discovery of body Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Neil Snelson was familiar with Kelowna’s less travelled areas, specifically Swamp Road, his exwife testified at his murder trial on Thursday. Katherine Oystryk, who was in a relationship with Snelson from 1986 to 1996, was asked as a witness for Crown coun-
sel, to reflect on how she came to know the rural route. “Neil showed me that (Swamp Road) was a shortcut to the Mission,â€? Oystryk said, noting she’d never taken the route before it was introduced to her in the weeks or months before Cusworth’s body was found. “It was a secluded area‌At that time it
was a backroad not many people travelled on.� It was one of several things she had time to think about after Cusworth’s body was found on Oct. 17, 1993. Oystryk explained that Cusworth’s image and the mystery that surrounded her murder was omnipresent in Kelowna in the weeks, months and years that followed.
ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. Evan Smailes VP Okanagan Region
Dr. Halstrom is proud to announce that Mr. Evan Smailes has joined the company as VP Okanagan Region. Evan will be leading the company’s efforts and activities for patients who have Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Mr. Smailes ďŹ rst became active as a Registered Respiratory Therapist in 1992. A long standing member of the Okanagan community, he brings an 18 year history of integrity, excellence, and patient care. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a serious disorder characterized by breathing that repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. OSA is commonly associated with loud snoring, and feeling tired after a full night’s sleep. Left untreated, OSA can lead to major health problems, accidents, and early death. The good news is that therapy is proven, simple and often covered by extended health insurance. Dr. Halstrom clinics use a multidisciplinary care model where patients are offered treatment options of CPAP and Oral Appliance Therapy. Dr. Halstrom Clinics have locations throughout BC. For more information go to www.drhalstrom.com New Kelowna Clinic Phone: 778-477-5575 201-3975 - Lakeshore Road, Kelowna BC V1W 1V3
Very soon after her body was discovered, her photo was distributed and a Crime Stoppers video re-enactment of her last hours and the recovery of her body on Swamp Road, was circulated. Her face, said Oystryk, was “on the news, in store windows, newspapers‌ everywhere.â€? Especially focusing Oystryk’s attention on the matter was that she worked at Splashes nightclub, and all club goers and employees were asked to keep the young woman’s face in mind, just in case it triggered a memory that would aid police in their investigation. She also knew she would have been driving down Bernard Avenue— where some reports have put Cusworth—in the early hours of Oct. 16, 1993. Oystryk and Snelson lived at 888 Glenmore Dr., and the only route there, at the time, would have been up Bernard and then onto her street. “The route from
Clement didn’t exist at that time,� she said. That said, she never could drum up a memory of Cusworth either walking home or at the club. However, she testified, she had a conversation with Snelson about how strange it was that he and Cusworth had been at the same party that night. Until a week or so later, when the police came to her house with a survey they were distributing to everyone at the party, they didn’t discuss it. “(The survey) was several pages long, and I remember being surprised by some of the questions,� she said. Not only were police asking if they saw Cusworth, the questionnaire asked things like, “Do you know who murdered Jennifer Cusworth?� It also asked respondents to explain how they would have killed Cusworth had they been her assailant. Snelson responded, but Oystryk never saw his
answers or asked about the survey. Although the court wasn’t made privy to the answers on that survey from years earlier, testimony about how Snelson reacted to police when the investigation focused on him a second time was presented to jurors yesterday. Sgt. Ian MacPherson testified that Snelson was just one among many who had yet to be ruled out, and required further investigation. Being as some of those who hadn’t been checked off lived as far away as Maui, the investigation stayed local. When the Kelowna list had been whittled down to two, MacPherson said the decision on who to tail to find cast-off DNA came down to a matter of chance, and Snelson was pursued. Surveillance started May 28, 2009, when they tracked Snelson to a Burger King, where he was eating with his family.
They watched him eat a meal, drink his beverage, then clean up his family’s stuff and discard it. His own napkin and straw were picked up and taken out to his vehicle. Surveillance that day, was for naught, but investigators continued and on June 1, 2009, they were led to a mall area where Snelson parked. He stopped, then drove away in another direction. “He then moved the vehicle in a position that I had to line up with him,� MacPherson testified. “(Snelson) leaned over and mouthed profanities.� The surveillance had then “been burned� which sparked a decision to take a more direct route and go to Snelson’s house. As she does regularly, Justice Alison Beames reminded the jury that Canadians have no obligation to speak to police or offer DNA samples. A decision to exercise that right can not be used as a measure of guilt. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
â–ź OKANAGAN COLLEGE
Alumni service award clarified A column published in the Capital News edition of Thursday, Sept. 22, had some incorrect information regarding Okanagan College. The column criticized Okanagan College for giving current provincial cabinet minister George Abbott an honorary degree, when in fact that is not what he received. Abbott was recognized by the
Okanagan College Alumni Association, an independent, self-governed organization comprised of volunteers, by being awarded the Distinguished Alumni Award and Shane Koyczan is receiving the Young Alumni Award. That award is presented at an event organized by the Alumni Association itself. The board of the association makes the
decision about who is to be recognized, while Okanagan College has no part in the decision process. Okanagan College also does not present honorary degrees, but recognizes the contribution to the community, college and the country through the presentation of Honorary Fellows, bestowed at spring and summer convocation ceremonies.

Westbank Lions to Council endorses winery expansion honour fallen volunteer ▼ WEST KELOWNA
Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
It’s official—Mission Hill Family Estate Winery will get a facelift. Council voted 5-2 in favour of adopting bylaw amendments to allow for the expansion of the winery. The expansion will add a hotel, a restaurant, a wellness centre, a conference centre, an art gallery, a wine museum, guest cottages and a microbrewery to Mission Hill’s property. “This is a win for West Kelowna as a whole,” said Mayor Doug Findlater.
“I do see that there are benefits for all of the district, both short-term and long-term.” Findlater said he acknowledges the traffic issues that may come with the winery expansion. “For me, it’s a high priority to review the traffic control mechanisms to basically discourage shortcutting in the neighbourhood,” he said. “I also would like to explore the idea of no trucks on these roads at night time.” Coun. Gord Milsom felt that the development would help put West Kelowna on the map.
“Such a quality development will increase the image of West Kelowna, not only as a tourist destination, but also as a yearround business and conference destination,” said Milsom. Couns. Bryden Winsby and Rosalind Neis voted against the winery expansion. “We are dealing with substandard roads. We have no plan, at this point, to improve them. That may or may not happen down the road,” said Winsby. He said this expansion may also be a gateway for more development in the

Boucherie area. That is also the main concern for area resident Zanie Mollica. “I’m very, very disappointed,” said Mollica. “I just think that this particular development is opening the door to a whole valley of (similar) types of developments. “It’s going to completely change the whole setting of the region.” Mollica lives near Mission Hill Road. She sees vehicles speeding down Boucherie Road constantly. She fears the expansion will make the problem worse. “Boucherie Road is already a highway, it’s not a country road.” Although Mollica isn’t planning on moving, she said that the decision to approve expansion will have a substantial effect on her. “It’s definitely going to change our future plans. I’m disappointed in the fellow who owns Mission Hill and I’m disappointed in our elected officials,” she said. “I’m hoping the councillors who voted against it will fulfill their promises to oversee everything and make sure that it isn’t going to have a (negative) impact on the community,” Mollica said. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Members of the Westbank Lions Club will gather at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 25, to honour Stew Tuningley. Tuningley died in July while voluntarily taking part in an Adopt-A-Highway cleanup of Shannon Lake Road. While Tuningley was serving his community, a vehicle veered off the right-hand side of the road and struck him. The Westbank Lions Club is inviting family, friends and interested members of the public to meet together near the site of Tuningley’s death to remember him. A few people are set to speak at the gathering. However, Linda Hart, president of the Westbank Lions Club, said that members of the public are more than welcome to share a few words about Stew as well. Speakers will share reminiscences of Tuningley and express their support for increased driver awareness and accountability, as well as meaningful reform to provincial laws regarding fatal accident compensation. There will be discussion how passage of a proposed Wrongful Death Act for B.C. could promote greater accountability from wrongdoers in similar cases. “The law in B.C. currently is that, generally speaking, it’s a whole lot cheaper to kill someone rather than injure them,” said West Kelowna lawyer Paul Hergott. “I’m not talking about the criminal law, I’m talking about the civil law. If someone is negligent in a car crash and runs someone over, if the (victim) is injured, that person has a claim against the
wrongful party for any losses that are suffered as a result of the injury. “On killing someone, the only claim that can be made is by a surviving spouse, child or parent. And that claim is only to the extent that there are financial losses.” Hergott said that Tuningley’s death illustrates why there needs to be a change in the legislation. “There couldn’t be a more perfect example. We’ve got a 74-year-old fellow, serving the community in such a wonderful way,” Hergott said. “He’s not earning income, so there’s no claim for his death aside from funeral expenses.” According to Hergott, in order for the Wrongful Death Act proposal to get anywhere, there needs to be a political will. “This event hopefully will drive enough public attention to the issue to make it so that politicians see it as an issue that needs to be brought to the forefront.” The gathering to honour Stew will be held near the entrance to the Crystal Springs mobile home park at 1850 Shannon Lake Rd. in West Kelowna. Hart said that RCMP will be present to ensure that the road is safe for those who want to attend. According to Hart, the tragic death of Tuningley has affected some of the Lions’ willingness to participate in roadside cleanup projects. “Out Westbank Lioness Club has declined to continue with their Adopt-AHighway participation,” said Hart. “A lot of members are reluctant to go out and do the cleanup now. Whether or not we will make a formal decision to withdraw from the program has not yet been determined.”

Cops for Kids make it home On Sept. 16, nineteen RCMP officers and six support crew set out to complete a 10-day cycling trek around southeast B.C. as a fundraiser for the Cops For Kids. The group returns to their starting point of Kelowna on Sunday, having raised $215,000 during the ride for their charity, which provides financial help to children’s support groups. A reception for the cyclists will be held at noon outside the CIBC branch in Orchard Park Shopping Centre. The trek took the participants on a whirlwind tour that included stops in 18 communities in the Okanagan and the Kootenays.

Share creativity at PechaKucha Night
Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
As part of the Culture Days celebration taking place next weekend, the City is hosting a third PechaKucha Night at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept.30, at The Streaming Café. Residents are encouraged to attend the free evening of presentations where creative people from various backgrounds including architects, artists, chefs, curators, gardeners, filmmakers, designers, dancers and collectors share their ideas and passion in a visual format. “PechaKucha Nights are designed to get people talking,” says Cultural Services manager Sandra Kochan, “The variety of presentations is always inspiring and we are looking forward to another exciting evening. Hosting this month’s event at the Streaming Café provides the perfect setting and is a great partnership – the café is a strong supporter of local culture.” PechaKucha Nights are now held in more than 400 cities around the world after originating in Tokyo in 2003. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of “chit chat,” the presentation format is based on a simple idea: 20 images each of which are shown for 20 seconds. It’s a format that makes presentations concise and keeps the night moving at a rapid pace. Culture Days will be held Sept. 30 to Oct. 2 at various sites throughout the city. Culture Days is a collaborative, grassroots movement to raise awareness, accessibility, participation and engagement of all Canadians in the arts and cultural life of the community. The inaugural Culture Days was held in September 2010 in more than 700 Canadian cities and towns. The celebration represents the largest-ever collective public participation campaign undertaken by the arts and cultural community in Canada. For more information see www.kelowna.ca/culture.
After three years of ongoing scientific investigation, Jeff Curtis, who leads the Okanagan Estrogen Project, says indications are that wastewater from sewage treatment plants should be ‘polished’ with a constructed wetland or through infiltration before being released into an aquatic environment. Curtis reported on the project to delegates at an international water science forum in Osoyoos this week, noting that the project involved testing receiving waters from the Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton wastewater treatment plants. He said levels of estrogenic compounds in the Okanagan River, where the outfall of the Penticton plant is located, are at a level that should be very carefully watched. His concern is that very small levels of estrogens or other endocrine disruptors can have adverse impacts on aquatic organisms.
Sexual abnormalities that can prevent normal breeding of fish and other aquatic species have been shown to result from even low levels of pharmaceuticals in waterways. Results from the Vernon plant, where wastewater goes into the MacKay reservoir before being used for spray irrigation showed that no further polishing occurred in the reservoir, but after spray irrigation, tests of the tail waters showed it was better at reducing quantities of pharmaceuticals than the other two systems. The highest levels of estrogens were found in treated waters from the Kelowna plant, but once released into Okanagan Lake, they were virtually undetectable, because of the amount of dilution in the large lake, he reported. “Wherever there are large populations, such substances concentrate, especially where there is a low water supply and less dilution,” he said. Curtis is a limnologist and head of the Chemistry and Earth and Environmental Sciences depart-
ment at UBC-O. He noted that although we have advanced wastewater treatment plants, such compounds as endocrine disruptors, metabolic disruptors or other residues from pharmaceuticals are not normally removed in treatment plants. “There’s an explosive rate of use of drugs;
an increase of 25 per cent in a decade. In any two-week period, 60 per cent of the population will use pharmaceuticals,” he reported. “So, we’re introducing a range of bioactive substances into the environment,” he added. He called them emerging contaminants.
The research continues, but Curtis said he is hopeful the information collected will be used in treatment of wastewater in the valley and in determining how the resulting treated effluent is released into the environment. See Trail Mix column on A16. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Homeopathy claims for preventing catching the flu are not backed up by research To the editor: We were dismayed to see in the ‘news’ section of the Capital News (Sept. 20) an article from the Okanagan Naturopathic Healthcare newsletter, headlined Prepare For Flu Season. It strikes us as misleading to place such an article— which is essentially an opinion piece about what to do in order to prevent flu—in the news section. Although most of the article recommends sensible practices such as healthy eating, it also states that “homeopathics can prepare the body to fight off invading organisms” which, far from being news, is completely false. Homeopathic “remedies” have been shown time and again to be no better than placebos. Here are some conclusions of studies on the subject: “Current evidence does not support a preventative effect of…homeopathic medicines in influenza.” (Cochrane Review, 2006) “[T]here was weak evi-

Relishing Olson’s demise while condemning U.S. death penalty

As of Thursday afternoon, self pro-
claimed “B.C. beast” Clifford Olson was on the brink of death, reports said, and crowds cheered. Well, the latter part of that sentence is a slight exaggeration. “It’s not right to rejoice,” said the parent of one of his 11 victims, but secretly they admitted they were. Can’t really blame them, considering I was pretty pleased with the news. Not only did Olson kill 11 teenagers heading up to his 1981 arrest, he tortured their families with manipulative publicity-seeking behaviour in the three decades that followed and he flat out haunted the dreams of B.C. children raised in the Lower Mainland in the ’80s. As several of my friends pointed out at different moments Thursday, he was our childhood bogeyman—the seed for
all ensuing fears of the night. It’s difficult to imagine what purpose this man served, what cosmic forces were failing to allow his existence to continue. Frankly, I can’t say that I didn’t think he should have been dead a long time ago, or that I wasn’t relieved upon hearing news of his imminent death. But is it hypocritical to applaud news that the now 71-year-old man’s body is being eaten by cancer while condemning the death penalty? Probably, but perhaps the system we have here north of the border, at the very least, gives us the moral highground to have these internal debates. And I’m glad for it.

LETTERS
A Gift in Memory Stack speaks to FourChange endorsement Makes a Difference To the editor: There have been several letters to the editor offering comment regarding the FourChange communication that went out last week. Many have asked my opinion on the matter. I want to state that I have not requested an
endorsement from any group, past or present. I read the story in the newspaper about this new group just like everyone else did. It is my desire to stand for re-election based upon my record. If re-elected, I will bring the same dedication and perspective to
my work on Council that I have exercised in the last three years. Naturally, like anyone running for elected office, I am seeking support from all voters in the City of Kelowna. Currently, in Kelowna, we do not have a ‘party system’ of politics at the civic level. People
are elected as individuals. They represent the entire city. This provides each councillor the opportunity to vote on each issue based on the merits of each issue. I think it works well and I believe I can be the most effective on council serving in this capacity.
I encourage all voters to select candidates for the strengths they bring to council. Elect council members that share your vision for the future of our great city and finally— let’s keep it positive! Luke Stack, Councillor, City of Kelowna
Protect Human Life Week ‘an affront to women’s rights’ Open letter to Mayor Sharon Shepherd: The B.C. Humanist Association is opposed to your decision to proclaim Protect Human Life Week on September 24, 2011, for the fourth consecutive year. We feel that this proclamation is an affront to women’s legal rights and the separation
of church and state. Abortion has been decriminalized in Canada since 1969 and legal since 1988. Maintaining this legality is critical for women to achieve equality in our society. Further, studies have shown that in municipalities where abortion is criminalized, abortion rates are
no different than when it is legal, but the abortions performed are much more dangerous [1]. The Kelowna Right to Life Society that is hosting Protect Human Life Week, also appears to be religiously motivated. Many events during their planned week are to be held in Kelowna church-
es and they are showing a movie critical of evolution—a topic only related to the Pro- Life movement through Evangelical Christianity. Finally, their “History” page on their website ends with the phrase “With God on our side!”. The BC Humanists believe that city councils and mayors should avoid
using the power of their office to promote one religious viewpoint or another. We therefore ask that you cancel your planned proclamation. Ian Bushfield, president, BC Humanist Association, Vancouver

Gloves come off where water is concerned SPRINGFIELD BULK FOODS To the editor: It’s wonderful to read in the paper that Chief Clarence Louie is finally taking a look at the way water management is being handled and is preparing to address this problem politically with the meeting on Thursday with other chiefs of the area. (Future of Okanagan Water Use at Stake, Sept. 20 Capital News.) Any environmental push in the right direction I’m in for. I hope there will be someone there to report on the progress of the meeting and this story. I hope that Chief Louie will not only dis-
—
cuss the future of the lake but also the rivers that flow into the lake where fish like kokanee spawn. Some of these rivers were native fishing camps in the past, and now they are being destroyed by the natives themselves with white man’s bulldozers—just look across the lake for evidence. Change should begin in your own back yard so your experience can be used to inspire others. Just wanted to vent on the subject, but I wrote these words that someone might listen. I have been responsible in the past for digging up bones doing research on the fishing
grounds across the lake. Dr. Nelson at UBC has sent bones for me to Drumheller Museum in Alberta and confirmed the bones are from the fifth ice age—second largest scull of a water bison ever found in Canada, maybe North America. Chief Louis is bulldozing his peoples’ past as well as the remains of the fifth ice age. I’m not native but I am native to Canada and my fellow Canadian is being a hypocrite. Judy Wasyleshko, Kelowna
Philosophers disparage claims about homeopathy
r
Homeopathy A1O dence for a specific effect of homoeopathic remedies, but strong evidence for specific effects of conventional interventions. This finding is compatible with the notion that the clinical effects of homoeopathy are placebo effects.” (The Lancet, 2005) “Ultramolecular homeopathy had no observable clinical effects.” (British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, January 2004) For entertaining and informative further reading on homeopathy, we highly recommend Chapter 4 of the book, Bad Science, by Ben Goldacre. However, at least homeopathic “remedies” have the benefit of being harmless (except when ill people choose them instead of a medical treatment that actually works). The same cannot confidently be said of vitamin C supplementation, which the article heartily recommends: “You can never
go wrong with Vitamin C…[which] at high doses stimulates the reproduction of immune cells”. Contrary to this confidence, the issue of vitamin C supplementation appears to be controversial in the medical literature. While there are indeed many studies that provide evidence for various health benefits of increasing dietary vitamin C (in fruit and vegetables), and there are studies that provide some evidence in favour of supplementation in the form of vitamin C pills—there are also studies that provide evidence in favour of avoiding vitamin C supplements, because they may be useless or even harmful: “Vitamin C given orally, even at high doses, does not achieve sustained serum levels that might be required for effective antioxidant activity. This may explain the failure of the numerous clinical trials involving its use in [various diseases]. Vitamin C supplementation to stave
off pre-eclampsia, cancer and other diseases is a ‘nutraceutical’ industrydriven myth which should be abandoned.” (European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, July 2011) “[W]hile supplementation with vitamin C is likely to be without effect for the majority of the Western population due to saturation through their normal diet, there could be a large subpopulation with a potential health problem that remains uninvestigated.” (British Journal of Nutrition, 2010) “A high vitamin C intake from supplements is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease mortality in postmenopausal women with diabetes.” (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, November 2004) Our point is not that one shouldn’t take vitamin C pills; the issue is clearly controversial. Our point is that the author of the
Okanagan Naturopathic Healthcare newsletter is being reckless with readers’ health in asserting, “You can never go wrong with Vitamin C”. While it would be nice to have such simple health care recommendations, sometimes “simple” might actually be harmful. We encourage you to avoid publishing articles from the Okanagan Naturopathic Healthcare
newsletter in future—especially in the “news” section of the paper. Zena Ryder, Department of Philosophy, Okanagan College, Dan Ryder, Department of Philosophy UBCO

Humanist group Council to ease parking requirements upset by pro-life proclamation ▼ DOWNTOWN KELOWNA
Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Kelowna city council can’t reduce the six-storey maximum height allowed for new buildings in one block of its main downtown street—so it is doing the next best thing. It’s waiving the requirement for any future developers to provide parking at their proposed new buildings, as long as the buildings are no taller
than four storeys high. The “incentive” for the block of Bernard Avenue east of Ellis Street could produce the city’s first carless mini area, say some councillors. “It came directly as a result of the (recent) downtown plan charette,” said Coun. Angela ReidNagy, who voted along with the rest of her council colleagues to approve the move in a text amendment to the city’s official
community plan earlier this week. The purpose of the incentive is two-fold, said Reid-Nagy. While the area is considered a character site by the city when it comes to the buildings already there and the type the city wants to see built in future, the elimination of parking could also prompt people who could one day live in the block where the now vacant former Bargain

Store stands, to go without a vehicle and rely on public transit. Reid-Nagy said with the location being close to both the bus rapid transit route on Highway 97 and the Queensway transit terminal, as well as being right downtown, the need for a car for some residents could be greatly reduced. And that, in turn would help the environment and help increase use of the transit system. And now that the city has made the move downtown—albeit in one small area—Reid-Nagy said it could be used again in Rutland when the city builds a new transit terminal on Shepherd Road and the area around it is redeveloped. Council also sees the Bernard Avenue move as another part of its bid to revitalize Bernard Avenue. The road is slated to be torn up for underground infrastructure repairs starting next year and the city is currently polling area merchants to find out if they are willing to help pay for aboveground beautification
measures to improve the streetscape. However, it remains to be seen if the loss of two floors of potential revenue-generating residential space will be offset by the relaxation of the city’s requirement for parking in the minds of potential developers. Randy Shier, president of the local Urban Development Institute chapter, said the success of the move will depend on whether there is a market for homes without parking. He praised the city for trying to help offer the public another form of housing but said it is too early to tell if it is what the public wants. “I hope it works but (a developer) would have to take a risk with a building like that,” he said. For now, a potential developer would have to consider whether the parking relaxation, in return for not building to the maximum allowable height, is something that will be financially viable in today’s local “slow” property development economy.

The B.C. Humanist Association has waded into the controversy over Kelowna Mayor Sharon Shepherd proclaiming next week Protect Human Life Week in the city. The Vancouver-based association, which says it represents atheists, agnostics, free-thinkers and secular humanists, has sent a letter to Shepherd, asking her to withdraw the proclamation because it is “an affront to women’s legal rights and the separation of church and state.” The proclamation, issued earlier this month after a routine request by the Kelowna Right To Life Society, uses that group’s wording which says in part: “It is the intention of this proclamation to promote respect and the protection of all human life, especially the aged, the handicapped and the unborn.” Shepherd, who is

on record as being prochoice, has said issuing a proclamation does not indicate support for a group or cause, but is simply an announcement. Her office has issued proclamations for Right to Life Week for the last four years. But the humanist association says the city is crossing a line in proclaiming Right To Life Week here, calling the Kelowna Right To Life Society “religiously motivated.” In the letter to Shepherd, (see page A 11) it points to the society’s web site, noting its history page proclaims God is on its side. Many of the events to celebrate the week are being held in churches and a movie is being shown as part of the week that is critical of evolution, “a topic only related to the pro-life movement through evangelical Christianity,” the letter says. “The B.C. Humanists believe that city councils and mayors should avoid using the power of their office to promote one religious viewpoint or another,” wrote Bushfield in the letter. Noting abortion has been legal in Canada since 1988, Bushfield said maintaining that legality of abortion is critical for women to achieve equality in our society. Speaking to the Capital News on Thursday, Bushfield said his group posted its concerns on its web site and has been told that several other people have written similar letters to Kelowna’s mayor. In B.C., abortion is considered a core medical service and is available at Kelowna General Hospital. Proclamations were made for several years before Shepherd was first elected in 2005, and not issued in Kelowna after former mayor Walter Gray lost a human rights tribunal complaint case against him following his decision to arbitrarily drop the word “pride” from a request for a proclamation promoting Gay Pride Day. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Potential candidates given lesson on civic elections Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Potential candidates in the upcoming Kelowna municipal election got a crash course in B.C. civic politics Wednesday night. The session, hosted by city clerk Stephen Fleming and chief election officer Karen Needham, offered the 40 people who showed up basic information about what is required of elected council members in terms of responsibilities, time and an explanation of how B.C. municipal government works. But while the information presented covered a wide spectrum, most of the questions fired at Fleming and Needham had to do with campaign financing. For instance, prospec-
tive candidates were told that there are no campaign spending limits, or limits on how much can be collected in campaign donations. But both have to be reported after the election, whether a candidate wins a seat or not. Names of donors who contribute more than $100 must be filed on campaign disclosure forms. Anyone who contributes less than $100 does not have their name made public but the candidate must know who they are, said Fleming. And candidates who contribute to their own campaigns must record those amounts too. A bank account must be opened for the campaign and all money received and spent has to go through it.
▼ CAR FREE DAY
Water Street to be reclaimed by pedestrians For the seventh year in a row, pedestrians and cyclists will reclaim Water Street on Car Free Day this weekend. On Sunday, Sept. 25., one block of the street will close to vehicles between Queensway and Doyle Avenue. “Bring the whole family for an afternoon of free live music, bike and skateboard demos, fitness activities, interactive booths, bike valet station, rock climbing and much more,” said Mike Kittmer, active transportation coordinator with the City of Kelowna’s regional services. “It’s a great opportunity for all generations to walk, bus or roll down and have some fun in the fresh air, while getting a taste for what a more ‘people-focused’ downtown could feel like.” The car-free festival zone at Stuart Park and along Water Street, will see the road closed from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Festival goers can download a complimentary transit pass to get to the event at i-Go.ca. The free community event will celebrate International Car Free Day and promote clean air, safe streets and healthy transportation choices. City officials say if residents in the Central Okanagan walked, biked, skateboarded, rollerbladed or took transit just one day a week, transportation emissions could be reduced by 20 per cent, all while being more involved in the community. International Car Free Day is celebrated by more than 100 million people in more than 1,500 cities around the world. Many of the cities have created vibrant permanent car-free zones in their core areas, which have led to an increase in cycling and walking for transportation. In the Central Okanagan, air pollution caused by vehicles is a growing concern, particularly since our region has the highest number of vehicles per person in British Columbia. For more information on Car Free Day, healthier transportation choices, road closures and to download the free transit pass for the day, go to i-Go.ca.
If—and Fleming said it rarely happens—a campaign has a surplus at the end, the full amount must go to the city if it is more than $500. The money is held for the candidate if he or she runs in the next election. If he or she doesn’t, it becomes the property of the city. Armed with this information and a host of other details, many of the people in attendance said they found the meeting informative. “I had read the nomination package but it was
good to get a human being explain it,” said Bobby Kennedy, who has decided he will run for council in the election. The 26-year-old Rutland skateboard shop owner said he has seen a lot of changes in the city, some good and some bad, and feels the city often caters to an older demographic. “You have to be 18 to vote but don’t have to be 18 to have an opinion,” said Kennedy. Running a store that caters to younger residents, Kennedy said he
is often impressed with what young people have to say and wants their voice heard on council. Another confirmed candidate, Tasha Batt, said she learned a great deal from the information session. Asked why she was running, Batt said she has a passion to serve and wants to contribute to her community. For others, such as Gerry Zimmermann, the session was more of a “refresher,” having not sat on council but having dealt with councils in the past

when he was in charge of the fire department. “It was a bit of a re-education for me,” he said. Council candidate Tisha Kalmanovitch was happy the city held the information session prior to the Oct. 4 to 14 nomination period this time around. “It really helps prepare people better,” said Kalmanovitch, who ran unsuccessfully for the NDP in Kelowna-Lake Country in the last provincial election. As of Friday, 53 people had picked up nomi-
nation packages for council and 11 had picked up papers for mayor. While not all those who picked up papers are expected to file and run, if past history holds true there could be 35 or more names on the ballot for the eight council seats. In addition to the session on Wednesday, the city has also provided information on its web site, kelowna.ca, for candidates. There are also links to more information from the province about municipal government. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

This week in Parliament, our government introduced Bill C-10, omnibus crime legislation called the Safe Streets and Communities Act. It incorporates a number of crime and public
(Protecting the Public from Violent Young Offenders, the former Bill C-4), which would ensure that violent and repeat young offenders are held accountable for their actions and that the protection of society is a paramount consideration in the treatment of young offenders by the justice system; • The Ending House Arrest for Property and Other Serious Crimes by Serious and Violent Offenders Act (former Bill C-16), which would eliminate the use of conditional sentences or house arrest, for serious and violent crimes; • The Increasing Offender Accountability Act (former Bill C-39), which would enshrine a victims’ right to participate in parole hearings and address inmate accountability, responsibility and management under the Corrections and Conditional Release Act; • The Eliminating Pardons for Serious Crimes Act (former Bill C-23B), which would extend the ineligibility periods for applications for a record suspension (currently called a “pardon”) from three to five years for summary conviction offences and from five to ten years for indictable offences; • The Keeping Canadians Safe (International Transfer of Offenders) Act (formerly Bill C-5), which would add additional criteria that the minister of public safety could consider when deciding whether or not to allow the transfer of a Canadian offender back to Canada to serve their sentence; • The Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act and related amendments to the State Immunity Act (formerly Bill S-7), which would allow victims of terrorism to sue perpetrators and supporters of terrorism, including listed foreign states, for loss or damage that occurred as a result of an act of terrorism committed anywhere in the world; and • The Preventing the Trafficking, Abuse and Exploitation of Vulnerable Immigrants Act (formerly Bill C-56), which would authorize immi-
Ron Cannan gration officers to refuse work permits to vulnerable foreign nationals when it is determined that they are at risk of humiliating or degrading treatment, including sexual exploitation or human trafficking. Critics of the legislation are characterizing the government’s approach to law and order as punitive rather than preventive and lacking in compassion for marginalized people in our society. I encourage you to consider the objectives of the legislation before you accept this view. The Criminal Code sets out the laws of our society and therefore provides support for law enforcement and our courts in determining appropriate actions and punishment when those laws are broken. With a sound judicial system in place our society can focus on prevention by identifying and addressing the root causes of crime including mental health, homelessness, poverty and addiction. Our government is keeping its commitment to Canadians to improve the overall efficiency of our judicial system while finding the appropriate balance between criminals and victims. It clearly communicates that those who commit crimes will be held fully accountable for their actions and that the safety and security of law-abiding Canadians and victims comes first in Canada’s justice system. Anyone wishing to access the full text of the Safe Streets and Communities Act can do so at www.parl.gc.ca by following the “Bills” link on the main page. Ron Cannan is the Conservative MP for Kelowna-Lake Country. ron@cannan.ca

the work he does at UBC Okanagan, as head of the department of Chemistry and Earth and Environmental Sciencesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which counts for a lot. Instead of leaping to conclusions about how that research should be applied, he has simply described whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been found in the three years that he and his team have been investigating concentrations of estrogen and other endocrine disruptors in the natural waters of the Okanagan. However, I am not a scientist and I do not feel the same constraints. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve determined that polishing treated effluent by releasing it first into a constructed wetland or with spray irrigation where infiltration will remove much of these compounds is safer than releasing any treated wastewater directly into natural lakes or other waterways. I feel his conclusions should make us all sit up and take notice and to plan to change how we
TRAIL MIX
Judie Steeves discharge treated effluent from sewage treatment plants into the very-sensitive aquatic environment of the Okanagan. I realize we already have some pretty state-ofthe art sewage treatment in the valley, but we are constantly evolving. We already use 25 per cent more drugs than we did a decade ago, and we know now that the residue from drug use affects the natural environment. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been warned that many of the compounds from humans who take drugs for everything from birth control to depression pass directly through our bodies and are piped to the nearest sewage treatment plant. Wastewater does not
simply disappear into thin air once itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treated. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s released, frequently into the nearest body of water. And, the treatment methods of the last few decades have not included methods of removing residual pharmaceuticals, so those residues go directly into the river or lake nearest the plant. All over the world, studies are showing mere nano-bits of those drugs are needed to change the sex organs of fish and other aquatic creatures, making it impossible for them to continue to reproduce normally. The residency time of water in Okanagan Lake is something like 60 years, meaning these fish-harming drug residues will accumulate in the big lake for that length of time, until Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure they will begin to result in changes to creatures who live in the lake. However, even those released into the Okanagan River from Pentic-
tonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plant will have impacts not only on creatures in the river, but on every body of water downstream. We know that dilution is not the solution to pollution. At some point weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll come up against a wall. Now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that we use what these local scientists, doing local research on our treatment facilities, have learned. Instead of continuing to discharge treated wastewater into Okanagan Lake or Okanagan River, we must plan to construct wetlands into which these waters can be released for polishing before release into a natural aquatic environment. To do otherwise is just burying our heads in the sand and dooming our grandchildren to a valley devoid of its natural inhabitants.

West Kelowna road maintenance issues addressed Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
District of West Kelowna council is taking steps to prepare for a heap of road maintenance issues that may land on their plate by the end of 2012. Since incorporation, the district has benefited from an Offer of Assistance from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to cover costs for road maintenance for five years. The $960,000 per year arrangement ends in December of 2012, at which time all aspects of road maintenance operations on West Kelowna roads will be fully under district control. Council was presented
with a variety of options to provide road maintenance service to the community. Regardless of the approach taken by council, it is likely that there will be an increase in costs for road maintenance. Council unanimously agreed with staff’s recommendation to determine which roads should be handled in-house and which ones contracted out for road maintenance, issue an Expression of Interest document calling on contractors to submit their qualifications and to continue discussions with the province to seek extending the current road maintenance arrangement until May 2014, or beyond. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

NEWS ▼ GARDEN CONTEST
Xeriscape gardeners happy to share their experiences T
he Okanagan Xeriscape Association held its first Xeriscape Garden Contest this year. Gardeners were excited to share experiences and their delight in the resulting reduced maintenance and lower water use. Most commented that their new landscape is much more aesthetically pleasing. I was impressed with the creativity and different approaches used. Awards and draw prizes will be presented Saturday, Sept. 24, 1 p.m., in the unH2O Xeriscape Demonstration Gardens (in front of the H2O Aquatic Centre), 4075 Gordon Dr. Everyone is invited. At 1:45 p.m., I will be giving a free guided tour of the garden. It will be approximately 45 minutes with an opportunity for asking questions at the end. This is the first anniversary of the garden opening. I encourage you to come out and see the exuberant fall colours and to observe the myriad of different pollinators busily at work. The annual “killing frost” could happen any time so don’t wait to pay a fall visit to the garden. One of the contest entries, the Achenbachs, be-

Gwen Steele gan with a front yard of poor lawn and an unkempt water thirsty cedar hedge. The lawn, weeds, and cedars were removed. A few weeks later more weeding was done before bringing in high quality topsoil for planting areas. Plants were chosen for low maintenance, and low water needs. They are well spaced to allow for mature size. A drip watering system was installed with custom emitters used to accommodate plants with different water needs. The soil was then mulched with three inches of Ogogrow. With two exceptions, the xeriscaping principles have been followed well. The existing birch tree will need extra water, especially as it is surrounded by gravel. The theme of the garden is ‘Japan meets Okanagan.’ The garden includes a very water thirsty Japanese Maple.
For the record, I strongly recommend against using them as they do not do well in our heat and dry air. This one is getting extra water, is well mulched and a distance away from the hot reflective rocks so it may manage. It would be happier in a shaded spot. *** This fall, I will be teaching my introduction to Xeriscape class, from 7 to 9 p.m., at the H2O
Aquatic Centre. The class dates are Tuesday, Oct.4 and 11, or Wednesday, Oct. 5 and 12. The class provides practical information and examples for those who want to make changes to a current landscape as well as for those new to gardening in the Okanagan and for people creating a new landscape.

LeafSource stops customers pain within days!
– Advertisement –
“It works! I’ll take another two bottles please!” This coming from a customer who had tried every other natural remedy under the sun in the past few years to take away her pain. Ian, the owner of the health food store couldn’t believe his ears. He had finally found the perfect product to stop his customer’s miseries. This is what every owner of a health food store dreams about, a natural product that receives so many outstanding testimonials on such a wide variety of health issues. “I had recommended a new product called LeafSource, which we recently started carrying. We have had tremendous success with this product, and almost everyone we have recommended it to over the last few months has come back and thanked us over and over again” said Ian. Before trying LeafSource, the woman had complained about her ongoing joint pain and was at her wit’s end. Although she had experienced some relief through the numerous natural remedies she had tried over the years, the pain would never fully go away. “She returned to my store, in tears, less than one week after buying LeafSource. I didn’t know what to make of this woman standing in front of me crying, until she told me that within a few days of taking LeafSource her pain started to disappear and within a week it was completely gone as if it was never there.” Ian goes on, “This coming from a woman whose painful joints and ongoing sciatica were so bad just one week earlier, that the pain was unbearable but now has completely subsided.”

By now you are probably wondering what is LeafSource and why is it so effective? LeafSource is a 100% natural product derived from a proprietary organic mineral composite with over ten years of university research. LeafSource helps regulate the inflammatory process and the body’s ability to repair itself. The vast majority (70 - 80%) of the population over the age of 50 have joint problems — often called osteoarthritis. This is due to the natural (or unnatural) wear and tear on joint tissue that develops
through the aging process. With joint inflammation, movement is limited and pain can be constant. LeafSource seems to have the ability to help people get their mobility and zest for life back. Millions of people seek treatment for their joint and inflammation problems by resorting to expensive, toxic prescription drugs (i.e. NSAIDs) with multiple side effects. These range from nausea and vomiting to serious intestinal disorders (bleeding, gas, pain) and even kidney and liver failure. Isn’t that too large a price to pay for a little pain relief!? LeafSource is a safe alternative to these destructive anti-inflammatory drugs that cause more problems than they solve. There are absolutely no side effects and it doesn’t interfere with any other medications. Controlled experiments and observations have revealed that LeafSource is a potent anti-inflammatory that has been shown to bring a reduction to inflammation and pain within a few days. People notice great results in terms of more energy and less pain by taking anywhere from 2 to 6 capsules/day. Typical maintenance is usually 1 capsule twice daily. This product gets results! LeafSource is scientifically validated through more than 10 years of research at 4 universities, including the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mercer University. Aside from its incredible anti-inflammatory and pain reducing ability, it has also been shown to improve the performance of your daily nutrition and vitamin programs. It helps increase the absorption of vital nutrients, which in turn helps these nutrients work better. Better absorption = better results! It’s almost as if they have become supercharged! LeafSource has also been shown to help enhance energy levels, improve intestinal health, strengthen hair, skin and nails and improve immune function. To see someone go from intense pain to a new lease on life within a week is truly incredible. Imagine being able to move freely without pain. Who wouldn’t want to get out of bed in the morning with more energy? It’s amazing how much of this stuff we take for granted, until it’s gone! Ian adds, “I often recommend that LeafSource be taken with other natural joint products in order to help them work better and provide even faster relief. One of the things I hear most often from people

sports, take music lessons, tutor, or feel the need to join every club your school has to offer, it is important to keep one or two weekdays free. Sadly, you may even have to say no to hanging out with friends some days. The free time this creates is ideal for homework, hobbies and simply relaxing at home. If your hobby happens to be Facebook, this time is likely to pass by quickly and still leave you feeling stressed. The other day, a friend complained to me that she had spent an hour the previous night lying on her bed, scrolling through Facebook on her iPhone. When she finally realized how much time she had wasted, it also became clear how much she could have accomplished instead.
At the end of the day, accomplishing what needs to be done and doing something significant with your time is more important than looking through photos of a friend’s party. However, even without social media, it seems that there simply aren’t enough hours in the day. An easy solution to this problem is getting up earlier. Sleeping in until the last possible minute and rushing out the door to school only adds to the feeling of stress and chaos, while starting your day earlier allows you more time to get organized and do the things you enjoy. Earlier mornings may also call for earlier nights, as studies show that teenagers need between eight and 10 hours of sleep
each night. Depriving your body of the sleep it needs may generate more time each day to accomplish things, but it will also rob you of the energy required for these tasks. Does this mean that you should never sleep in, go on Facebook, or hang out with your friends? Not necessarily. Each person has a unique routine for dealing with required tasks, and may find that certain things don’t inhibit their ability to do so. At the same time, sticking to a rigid set of rules only creates more stress, rather than alleviating it. Keeping up with the demands of life and still allowing yourself time for the things you love is, above all, about finding balance.

Youth, skill abundant on 2011-12 club Rockets deal Jobke for offensive D-man Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Young, skilled and exciting. In three words, it’s the kind of team the Kelowna Rockets expect to put on the ice for the new Western Hockey League campaign. And while the Rockets are younger across the board than in 2010-11, the club’s brain trust believes this season’s squad is already a big step ahead when it comes to one key area—maturity. “Last year we had a bunch of guys who started the season who were so far behind on the grid maturity-wise, that it took them until Christmas to really get going,” said Rockets president and GM Bruce Hamilton, who saw his club stumble out to a 4-10 start a year ago. “Once they began to understand their responsibilities and accountability that’s required here, they were a lot better. By the end of last year this was a real good group to be around, and I expect them to be even better and more mature this year. At the same time, our expectations have to be reasonable for what we have.” The club will start the season with four 16-year-olds rookies on the roster—Madison Bowey, Jesse Lees, Tyson Baillie and Austin Ferguson. Along with such youth will come mistakes and a considerable learning process, but Hamilton said that’s where reliable goaltending comes in. With over-ager and team MVP Adam Brown, and 18-year-old Jordon
MARISSA BAECKER/SHOOT THE BREEZE
ZACH FRANKO (left), Madison Bowey and MacKenzie Johnston are part of a skilled and young Kelowna Rockets’ squad entering the 2011-12 WHL season. Cooke minding the crease, the Rockets expect more than a few games to be won in goal. “You don’t win in this league without good goaltending,” he said. “We’re very comfortable with either of these guys right now, Brownie will obviously get the nod as the starting guy but I think Cooke is going to push him hard. “We can go through some growing pains early with some mistakes, and we’re going to see that with the age of our defense. But our goaltending will definitely help with that.” In addition to solid goaltending, the Rockets expect their offense to be considerably more potent. Shane McColgan, Brett Bulmer, Zach Franko and Colton Sissons will be asked to carry a si-
gnificant part of the load. The rugged Jessey Astles is also expected to make strides in his third WHL season. “We have significantly more offense just because of the maturity of those guys. They all have to bring more than they did for us last year, and I expect they will.” One challenge the Rockets face is compensating for the loss of captain Tyson Barrie and his contributions on the power play. Hamilton addressed some of the need by acquiring Myles Bell this week from the Regina Pats (see story). As much as any area of the club, Hamilton is excited about watching the Rockets’ young talent develop and mature. In addition to the aforementioned 16-year-olds, players like Tyrell Goulbourne, Col-
ton Heffley, Damon Severson, Filip Vasko, Carter Rigby and Colten Martin give Hamilton reason for optimism. “We’ve got as skilled a group of young guys as I’ve seen in many years. I’m looking forward to seeing how Bowey and Lees, our young defencemen develop and see where they’re at by Christmas. We have a lot of guys who should take some steps this year.” Where the Rockets will appear to have the edge on most other clubs heading into 2011-12 is in the area of coaching. Led by Ryan Huska’s 10 WHL seasons—five as a head coach—and the growing experience of Ryan Cuthbert, Dan Lambert, Kim Dillabaugh and Kim Gellert, Hamilton said his young roster is in very capable hands.
“Being involved with the world juniors the last two years, Ryan (Huska) brings a wealth of knowledge back to our team,” Hamilton said. “He’s a sponge whenever he’s in those situations with NHL coaches, he absorbs everything and comes back with it. He’s one of the premier, young coaches in the game. Danny (Lambert) has really matured as a coach, and Ryan (Cuthbert) has grown up a lot to be a real good coach, too.” Huska and Co. will open the new WHL season this Saturday night in Everett against the Silvertips. Kelowna’s home opener is Saturday, Oct. 1 against the Vancouver Giants. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com
With the irreplaceable Tyson Barrie gone to the pro ranks, the Kelowna Rockets had a void to fill on their blue line heading into the 2011-12 campaign. The Western Hockey League club addressed its need for an offensiveminded defenceman this week with the acquisition of Myles Bell from the Regina Pats. In exchange, the Rockets give up veteran defenceman Colton Jobke, a second-round bantam draft pick in 2012, and a fifth-round choice in 2013. A Calgary native, the 18-year-old Bell had 14 goals and 31 assists in 66 games last season with the Pats. “With the loss of Tyson, and with new rules and the number of penalties that I feel are going to be called, we needed an offensive defenceman to play on the power play,” said Rockets president/ general manager Bruce Hamilton. “Myles has been a player we’ve been interested in for some time. We think he makes our team better.” While Bell comes to the Rockets with a definite offensive upside, he will be expected to also work hard on his defensive game. “We’re getting in him
Myles Bell a huge shot, and a real offenisve presence, and somebody who can contribute in the back end,” Hamilton added. “The challenge for him will be learning how to play defense better, because with this team that comes first. Our coaches will help him adjust.” In Jobke, the Rockets lose a veteran who provided solid leadership. Jobke, 19, is under contract to the Minnesota and this week was returned to junior from the Wild’s camp. “We’re losing a great guy and a wonderful teammate in Colton,” said Hamilton. “We didn’t feel that he would be back as an over-ager next year. Acquiring Myles continues our building towards 2013 and our bid for the Memorial Cup.” Bell is expected in the Rockets lineup Saturday when the Rockets play in Everett to open up the WHL season.

WHL team previews compiled by Black Press reporters VANCOUVER GIANTS
Last season: 35-32-14, fifth in Western Conference, second in B.C. division. Lost to the Tri City Americans in four games in the first round of the playoffs. Head coach: Don Hay (seventh season, 13th in WHL). Assistants: Glen Hanlon (first season), Yogi Svejkovsky (sixth season). Goaltending coach: Paul Frickr (first season). Key losses: F Spencer Bennett, G Mark Segal, F Andrej Stastny. The 20-year-olds: F James Henry, D Neil Manning, F Michael Burns. Key returnees: Besides the 20-year-olds, F Brendan Gallagher, D David Musil, F Marek Tvrdon, F Dalton Sward. New faces: F Anthony Ast. Expect a couple of 16-year-olds to crack the Watch for: A big return from little Brendan Gallagher. Some say
the 5-foot-9 forward is ready to go pro though he will be back despite winning a lot of attention at Montreal Canadiens camp this week. Gallagher is a leading candidate to make Team Canada for the 2012 World Junior hockey championship, Dec. 26 to Jan. 5 in Calgary and Edmonton. Centering game: Slovakian import Marek Tvrdon missed most of last season with a shoulder injury. Regardless, his six goals and five assists in the dozen games he played got him drafted to the Detroit Red Wings. The question is, who will centre Gallagher (97 points) and Tvrdon on the first line? Leading candidates are Jordan Martinook, Teal Burns and James Henry. Early moves: GM Scott Bonner began the week by confirming two players from the team’s glut of 18-year-old blue
liners are going to be traded. One finger points to 2008 first round bantam pick Zach Hodder, while Bonner said core guys Neil Manning, David Musil and Wes Vannieuwenhuizen are not on the block. Prediction: There’s experience and proven talent in all areas of the lineup except in net. Brendan Jensen (18) and Jackson Whistle (16) are the go-to tandem to start, but Don Hay’s gang should pull in at least 40-wins. It’s been a bit of a carousel since Tyson Sexsmith so watch for Bonner to make a move in net if the wins aren’t coming early.

overall) Assistants: Jason Becker (third season), Brent Arsenault (seventh season) and goaltending coach Phil Guenter (first season) Key losses: F Taylor Stefishen, F James Dobrowolski and D Sena Acolatse made up the 1990born overage trio on the Cougars in the 2010-11 campaign and graduated from the junior ranks. Acolatse signed an entrylevel contract with the San Jose Sharks while Stefishen got recruited by the University of Calgary Dinos. The 20-year-olds: Trading for an overage goalie in the offseason hasn’t worked wonders for the Cougars in the past. They hope it’s a different story this time around with Drew Owsley, who enters the regular season as the Cats’ undisputed No. 1 netminder. Although Rimmer won the starter’s position before their first-round series with Kelowna, they showed they wanted to go a different direction between the pipes in August. Rimmer went the other way in a deal with the Tri-City Americans. Two returnees, F Spencer Asuchak and D Cody Carlson, make up the other overage positions. Import: Although they’re eligible to have two imports, D Martin Marincin (Slovakia) was the only non North American player on the Cougars roster as of Monday. Key returnees: If they return from pro camps, 1992-born skaters Brett Connolly (Tampa Bay Lightning) and Marincin (Edmonton Oilers) will play significant roles on this team. Last season’s

captain and a Prince George minor hockey product, Connolly led the team offensively in 201011 with 46 goals and 73 points in 59 games. A power-play quarterback, the smooth-skating Marincin ranked eighth in scoring among defenceman, with 14 goals and 42 assists in 67 games. Charles Inglis, who attended camp with the San Jose Sharks, and Nick Buonassisi are other members of a 1992-born forward group that has potential to collect a lot of points this season. New faces: G Drew Owsley, G Devon Fordyce and F Alex Forsberg will start their first full seasons with the Cougars. If Owsley plays as well as his statistics with Tri-City suggest he can, Fordyce will only have to play a limited role. Even if Connolly and Marincin return, at this point it appears as though Owsley’s performance will be the biggest factor in determining how the Cougars fare on the ice. Watch for: Alex Forsberg to put up respectable rookie numbers. The Cougars selected Alex, Jesse’s younger brother, with the first overall selection in the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft. Although a little shy with the puck as he’s adjusting to the WHL game, he showed potential he can turn into an junior star during call-up duty with the Cougars. He scored his first WHL goal in the Cougars’ final playoff game against the Rockets. If he’s back and healthy, Connolly will challenge for the lead in WHL goals. Just notes: As of Monday, the Cougars’ 29-player pre-season roster had 17 returning players.

Prognosis: Just having a lot of WHL games under their belt doesn’t translate into success. As already pointed out, if Connolly and Marincin don’t return, noticeable holes will be left behind. Owsley will need to steal some games for this team to improve on its 2010-11 mark. If the two offensive kingpins don’t return and Owsley has an off year, they could be clawing just to make the playoffs.
VICTORIA ROYALS
Last season (as the Chilliwack Bruins): 3331-4-4, sixth in Western Conference, third in B.C. division. Lost to the Spokane Chiefs in five games in the first round of the playoffs. Head coach: Marc Habscheid (third season, 10th in WHL). Assistants: Enio Sacilotto (second season), Craig Didmon (first season), Ben Cooper, (first season). Key losses: F Ryan Howse, D Brandon Manning, F Roman Horak, F Dylen McKinlay, G Lucas Gore, have graduated. D Mitch Topping was traded. The 20-year-olds: D Hayden Rintoul, D Curt Gogol, F Robin Soudek, G Braden Gamble. The imports: Robin Soudek (Czech Republic) and Lucas Kralik (Czech Republic). Key returnees: F Kevin Sundher, F Robin Soudek, D Tyler Stahl, F Curt Gogol, F Steven Hodges, F Brandon Magee. Gone are the top two scorers from last year, Howse and Horak, as well as the captain and top-scoring defenceman Manning. Between Hodges, Magee and a few others, 100 goals needs to be replaced. New faces: Hayden Rintoul joined the Royals in June in a trade from the WHL champion Kootenay Ice. Rintoul played 19 playoff games last year. Island-raised Kade Pilton, still just 16 and already 6-foot-5, 185 pounds, has shown strong offensive instincts from the blue line during the preseason. Lucas Kralik comes from the Czech Republic, the Royals top pick in the 2011 CHL Import draft (36th overall). Watch for: Kevin Sundher’s growth as an intelligent player to infect the team. Sundher isn’t the biggest player but is as fast as anyone in the league and knows his team needs to be a nuisance to play against for them to be successful. Sundher
is well-liked by the Buffalo Sabres, who own his NHL rights as a 2010 third round draft pick. He’ll be leaned on to lead the team in many situations. Just notes: Feisty forward Curt Gogol attended the San Jose Sharks rookie camp as a free agent signing while Sundher experienced his second rookie camp with the Sabres having made it to main camp in 2010. An injury hampered Carolina Hurricanes’ prospect Tyler Stahl’s NHL training camp. Prediction: With pressing questions as to the Royals’ offence the 201112 season could be franchise’ worst yet - not that Chilliwack will care. Then again, in five years the club has managed four playoff appearances and has a bevy of young defencemen ready to step up. If they get the necessary goaltending, a defensive-minded Royals’ team could exceed the 30-win plateau.

PacWest season in full swing through Okanagan UBC Okanagan golfers opened up the Pacific Western Athletic Association (PacWest) season at the Dunes Golf Course in Kamloops last weekend. The men’s team finished fifth out of eight teams while the women’s tteam finished ahead of Douglas College as the only colleges with women’s teams competing. The golfers played two rounds towards team and individual totals The two day event at the Dunes opened up the season for the eight universities that compete in the PacWest Golf Tour. This weekend the tour twill move to Kelowna for rounds at the Okanagan Golf Club as linksters will play the Bear and the
Quail courses Saturday and Sunday. The UBCO women’s golf team consists of Alana Kent, Jenn Woods and Martina Osman. Kent fired the best round last weekend shooting a 79 on day one before carding an 84 on day two. Woods shot a pair of 82s while Osman’s best round was an 88. On the men’s team Cody Bell, Will Deck, Ken Osbourne, Luc Chase and Harvey Hubball combined to place fifth out of eight teams. Bell was the highest finishing member of the team in individual play after shooting 74 and 73 while Deck shot 76 and 73. Only one round of the 10 combined by the

THE UBCO men’s and women’s golf teams after playing the season opening event in Kamloops. The teams are back on the links this weekend with two rounds in Kelowna at the Okanagan Golf Club. UBCO golfers was in the 80s as the team played ex-
tremely well in the opener.
“I think the team is pretty excited, a few
were pretty disappointed but generally we did very well,” said Heat golf coach Terry Nicol. “The calibre of the whole league is up quite a bit from last year so it’s going to be a pretty competitive season,” Nicol said. “Being on our home turf this weekend gives us the home course advantage so we’re hoping to do very well.” Following this weekend’s event at the Okgangan Golf Club, teams will play Oct. 1 and 2 at the Comosun Invitational and Oct. 8 and 9 at the U of Fraser Valley Invitational. The top three teams will advance to the national championships to be played this year in Prince Edward island in late October.

terceptions, including one for a 35-yard touchdown. He also had a fumble recovery, one solo tackle and one assist. Meanwhile, Yochim won the special teams award for the second time this season. The second-year player out of Rutland returned the opening kickoff against the Rebels for
a 104-yard touchdown. Yochim, who won the same award in Week 4, also returned three punts for 18 yards. It’s the third time a member of the Sun has won this award as D.J. Weber picked up the honour in Week 3. The Sun (6-1) will return to action this Sunday, 2 p.m. at the Apple Bowl
against the Kamloops Broncos (1-6). Okanagan continues to trail the first-place Vancouver Island Raiders (70) by two points, and leads third-place Langley (4-3) by four points for third. An Okanagan win— or Rams loss—this weekend would clinch no worse than a second place finish for the Sun.

Lanigan, 19, has yet to prove he can be a full-time starter and Kozun, 17, and Cheveldave, 18, are new to the league this season. How head coach Charron and associate coach Hunchak interact will also rbe interesting to watch. If the Blazers stay healthy, maintain discirpline (which was an issue last season) and receirve solid goaltending, a division title is not out of the question.
REGIONAL BOARD HIGHLIGHTS – SEPTEMBER 2011 TIPPING FEE INCREASES APPROVED The Regional Board has approved tipping fee increases starting January 1st for garbage and other solid waste materials at the Westside Residential Waste Disposal and Recycling Centre. The fee amendments to the Solid Waste Management Bylaw are the same as those that have been approved by the City of Kelowna for the Glenmore Landfill, so waste disposal fees are consistent across the Central Okanagan.
REGIONAL RESCUE PROGRAM SERVICE REVIEW The Regional Board has approved a contract for a Core Service Review of the Regional Rescue Program to KPMG LLP Kelowna. A total of four qualified responses were received to a Request for Proposals and the evaluation committee scored the $49,750 submission from KPMG the highest. The review will determine the best way of administering, funding and delivering the highest quality of rescue services across the Central Okanagan region.
AUGUST BUILDING STATISTICS During August, the Development Services Inspection Section approved 24 building permits for construction projects valued at $1,843,366 in the Central Okanagan East and Central Okanagan West Electoral Areas.

Heat varsity team prepare to take on tougher CIS rivals The University of British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Okanagan campus Heat are ready to meet some of the best intercollegiate teams in the land, and the action begins this fall. This marks the first year the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball and basketball teams will compete in Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) after the teams were accepted into the Canada West Universities Athletics Association in May. Sought-after Terry Fox Secondary School graduate Bret Macdonald says the university joining the CIS provides the level of competition he is after. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a major reason
why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m coming here,â&#x20AC;? says Macdonald who had several universities scouting his basketball skills before deciding to join the Heat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to play CIS since Grade 9.â&#x20AC;? Alex Basso is not only a fourth-year Human Kinetics student, but a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball team veteran who looks forward to mixing it up in the CIS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to be pushed.

OC Coyotes work hard against VIBI A young Okanagan College Coyotes baseball team came up against a more veteran squad on the weekend in losing four fairly close games to the Vancouver Island Baseball Institute. Despite the losses the games were competitive and the OC coaches were pleased with the potential shown by several players on its roster. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a look back at the weekend games: Game 1 Veteran pitcher Pete Tollenaar took the mound in game one and gave up five runs on eight hits over four innings in a
5-3 loss. Brandon Klym tossed two shutout innings and the Coyotes defense was errorless. Outfielder Dustin Deeming led the Coyotes offence with a double and 2 RBI. Game 2 Freshman starter Marcus Drewry went five innings, giving up four runs on eight hits in a 5-1 loss. Okanagan Athletics grad Mike Tongue tossed one inning in relief, allowing one unearned run. Tongue will be a key contibutor out of the bullpen this season. Leading the offence for the Yotes were sophmore Garrett Wiese and freshman Gar-

50 anniversary BCHL: Team previews by Black Press reporters The B.C. Hockey League enters its 50th year this weekend as the 2011-12 regular season kicks off. In the new look Interior Conference, the Quesnel Millionaires have moved to Chilliwack and remain in the Interior Conference. Four of the eight teams will make the fplayoffs. The Westside Warriors rfinalized its roster Wednesday night, as it gets set rto start the year under new head coach Rylan Ferster. The Warriors start this weekend on the road with games tonight and Saturday in Trail. Its home opener is Sept. 30 against Vernon. Black Press writers from around the Interior Conference have compiled previews for the 50th campaign. Here’s how the eight teams stack up. rWESTSIDE WARRIORS
Key Returnees: F Tyler tKrause (11-31-42), F Dru Morrison (14-17-31), F Brett McKinnon (10-1323) D Michael King (518-23), D Izaak Berglund (2-12-14), D Peter MacIntosh (0-11-11), D Brayden Sherbinin (4-8-12). New Acquisition: Winger Richard Vanderhoek, 20, will be looked upon to provide offence and leadership. The Langley native was acquired from Surrey in the off-season and is coming off a 71 point season (26-45-71) last year with the Eagles. He spent some time, midseason, with the WHL Vancouver Giants. Rookie Sensations: A pair of Warriors rookies from the B.C. Major Midget League will look to make the jump to junior. Forward Seb Lloyd had 17 goals and 37 assists in 30 games with the Cariboo Cougars in the BCMML while D Ben Betker had 13 points with the Kootenay Ice. Strengths: The Warriors’ strength will likely come from the blueline with its top four returning blueliners, including Berglund, who was named the Warriors captain. New coach Rylan Ferster is preaching defence
and work ethic as he takes over from the departed Darren Yopyk. Coach’s Quote: “I think we’re going to be a good defensive team,” said Ferster. “Guys are buying into that which is good. I don’t think we’re going to be a run-and-gun team. We’re going to have to be good defensively and have a really good work ethic.”
VERNON VIPERS
Key Returnees: F Patrick McGillis (13-12-25), Mike Zalewski (12-1729), John Knisley (10-2535), D Brett Corkey (123-24), G Kirby Halcrow (3.03 goals against average, .901 save percentage). Rookie Sensations: As the son of Edmonton Oilers’ GM Steve Tambellini and brother of former Vancouver Canuck Jeff, hockey runs in Adam Tambellini’s bloodlines. The lanky forward pocketed 54 points and 113 penalty minutes in 34 games last season with Edmonton’s South Side Athletic Club. Strengths: With seven of their 11 returning players being forwards, Vernon’s strength will be up front. First-year head coach Jason Williamson, a former Viper captain, was mentored by one of the best in Mark Ferner. Coach’s Quote: Williamson: “We definitely have some good speed. We’re going to try to push the pace on some teams and be real aggressive on the forecheck. All our dee are fairly mobile, so we’ve got a good corps back there. When we turn pucks over, were going to get it and go with some pace.”
PENTICTON VEES
Key Returnees: F Logan Johnston (11-21-32), F Joey Benik (30-26-56), F Curtis Loik (10-16-26) D Troy Stecher (5-15-20), F Travis St. Denis (2727-54) acquired through trade, G Michael Garteig (36-8-3, seven shutouts, 1.69 GAA, .934 save percentage) acquired through trade.
Rookie Sensations: Minnesota Wild draft pick Mario Lucia scored 30 goals in 27 games with Wayzata High School and added 24 assists. The son of Minnesota Golden Gophers coach Don Lucia, Marco was chosen 60th overall in the 2011 NHL Draft. Strengths: Speed and size will be the key ingredient for the Vees success. Coach Fred Harbin-
son has assembled a big team that will move the puck up and down the ice and use its quickness to create offence. Coach’s quote: Harbinson: “You can say a lot of things about our team. I don’t think you’re going to say we’re boring. We have a fun group to watch. We need people to come out and support the team. Our guys are going to play hard for them.”
MERRITT CENTENNIALS
Key Returnees: F Regan Soquila (20-25-45), F Evan Stack (13-19-32), F Chad Brears (4-17-21), F Jacob Reichert (7-1118), D Brandon Pfeil (610-16), D Billy Marshall (4-12-16), D Reece Willcox (5-9-14), G Lino Chimienti (3.11 GAA), G Tyler Steel (3.49 GAA). The Cents start the season with no fewer than 15 returning veterans from
City in Action
a team that, despite finishing sixth out of eight teams in the Interior, had an impressive 5-1-0 record against the Westside Warriors and evenly split their six games with the league champion Vipers. Rookie Sensations: Eighteen-year-old Brandon Bruce was a late arrival at Cents’ training camp, but the former Swift Current Bronco (WHL) has made an immediate im-
pact. The feisty 5-foot-10 centre plays with an edge, and has a ton of talent to back up his style. Strengths: In Chimenti and Steel, the Cents have two proven netminders with a full BCHL season behind them. Both sparkled through the preseason, where Merritt went 5-1 and allowed just 12 goals.

SPORTS ▼ BCHL PREVIEW BCHL from A27 turnees on the blueline— Pfeil, Marshall, Willcox and Richard Sabourin— will be the keys to a successful season. Coach’s Quote: Luke Pierce: “This is a group that will further expand on the core values of Centennials’ hockey. We will work as a group both to defend and create offence using the work ethic we have become recognized for. We will challenge our large core of veterans to continue striving to improve on their previous seasons. Our mix of new additions will provide
some additional energy and offensive punch to our lineup.”
SALMON ARM SILVERBACKS
Key Returnees: F Brett Knowles (30-2858), Morgan Zulinick (1217-29), Bryce Gervais (29-22-51), Devin Muller (12-16-28), D James Friedel (1-5-6) Rookie Sensations: Defenceman Brendan Kennedy, who played last season with Okanagan Hockey Academy, and forward Kyle Oleniuk of Moose Jaw (Saskatchewan Midget AAA) were rookie standouts in Sal-
mon Arm’s main camp and look poised to earn quality minutes in the regular season. Strengths: The SilverBacks boast a solid top-six forward corps that can put the puck in the net at any given time. With just one returning d-man (Friedel), Salmon Arm head coach/ GM Colin O’Hara acquired veteran blueliners Klay Kachur (Powell River), Bennett Hambrook (Prince George/Vernon), Matt Brown (AJHL Drumheller Dragons) and Sean Flannagan (SJHL Kindersley Dragons) in the offseason. Coach’s Quote: “We’ve acquired some veteran defencemen to shore up our back end and we feel our six that will play on a nightly
basis are as good as any in the league. Kurt (Williams, starting netminder) is prepared to step it up in and and put it on the line every night this year. The strength is our dee corps, but we also have some dynamic game-breakers up front.”

The Peterborough native was drafted by the OHL’s Peterborough Petes, but spent last season playing at Berkshire School in Sheffield, Mass. Chiefs’ bench boss Harvey Smyl is noted for picking one goaltender and running with him, and Gillam should get the lion’s share of starts. Strengths: A Smyl team’s work ethic will always be its strength, but until this team plays some meaningful games, it’s hard to say what else they may offer. Last season, as the Quesnel Millionaires, they struggled to score and struggled defensively en-route to a 13-38-3-6 record and first round playoff exit. Gillam may be a solution in goal, but there are still far more questions than answers. Coach’s Quote: Smyl: “This is a whole new scenario with a whole new group of guys, whole new coaching staff, new city and new building. Everything is new to them and it’s going to take some time for them to become a team, know what the coaches want and feel comfortable here.”
the Spruce Kings spring prospect camp. The 1994born forwards from Surrey committed to the Spruce Kings after winning a provincial Midget Tier 1 title with the Surrey Thunder. Coach’s Quote: Dupas: “We can’t throw our hands in the air and say ‘Now that Quesnel isn’t here, we’re finished’, because we’re absolutely not. We got a bunch of guys in here that we believe are going to compete hard for the Spruce Kings and want to win games. The difficulty is in the road trips and stuff like that, but you just have to do it. It’s what it is at this point and we’ll spend a lot of time on the bus. We’ll have to make sure that we’re eating properly, we’re getting a lot of rest and that’ll take care of itself.”

Strengths: The Smoke Eaters will be a young team with approximately 12 rookies. Depending on how they develop, offence may be a concern but the team should be strong defensively with goalie Matt Larose backstopping a solid defensive core of veterans led by Sidhu, Clayton McEwan and recent acquisition Nicholas Wong from Cowichan Valley. Coaches Quote: Bill Birks: “We’re going to be a hard-working, lunchbucket type team, a good mix of solid veterans with some high-end kids that will take a bit to get into it but they’re progressing very nicely.”

Irish Rovers don’t need to reinvent themselves for resurgence “For two hours a night when you hit that stage, all the headaches and fatigue disappear.” Barry Gerding EDITOR
There is only one thing that George Millar enjoys as much as sitting in his home in Parksville on Vancouver Island with a glass of wine and watching the cruise ships pass by. And that is performing music on stage with his group, the Irish Rovers. When he was a mere 16 years of age, Millar and George Ferguson started the group in Toronto. That was in 1963 and the band has endured the test of time. After being launched by the hit song Unicorn in the 1960s, the group enjoyed a similar revival in the late 1970s with another hit with wide demographic appeal, Wasn’t That A Party. Now in 2011, the Irish Rovers are enjoying yet another rebirth from a documentary special they filmed on location in Northern Ireland, called Home In Ireland, which attracted the interest of the PBS network. The special will be broadcast across the U.S. and Canada on PBS on Nov. 27, and will be released on DVD throughout Europe. Millar and his Irish mates are set to film another special for release
in 2012, called An Irish Rovers Christmas, to be filmed in Banff and Toronto. The group has changed members over the years—the current lineup includes Millar, Wilcil McDowell, Sean O’Driscoll, Ian Millar, Fred Graham and John Reynolds.
While travel has become a logistical nightmare for the group and all their band instruments since 9/11’s increased airport security, Millar says all that frustration disappears when they step on stage. “For two hours a night when you hit that stage, all the headaches and fa-

CANADA HAS BECOME OUR ADOPTED HOME COUNTRY AND WE ALL BECAME CANADIAN CITIZENS…IT’S NOT A BAD PLACE TO LIVE IN AND YOU DON’T NEED A BULLET-PROOF VEST WHEN YOU STEP OUTSIDE. George Millar
Original members Ferguson passed away in 1997 and George’s brothers Will and Joe both retired in the 1990s. Millar attributes the longevity of the Irish Rovers to the fun for an audience of listening to Irish songs coupled with the enjoyment the group still has performing on stage. “I think the music is fun and it starts with that. There has also been a revival of Celtic music as well that started with the Riverdance show, plus groups that have enjoyed success in Canada such as The Great Big Sea, Spirit Of The West and The Paperboys,” Millar said.
tigue that come with travel disappear. And despite the travel hardship, we all realize that we are lucky to be able to make a living doing what we do, compared to people who have to work at a job eight hours a day. We have been pretty blessed.” Millar says it seems “like 105 years ago” that the Irish Rovers first came to national prominence in Canada by hosting their own music show on CBC. “That show made us popular in Canada, particularly in the Prairies because for many people, CBC was the only channel they could get, so they had to watch us,” he

and you don’t need a bullet-proof vest when you step outside.” Millar said their relationship with Canada was probably cemented by their hit song Wasn’t That

ectly associated with the Irish Rovers. They felt the radio DJs wouldn’t play it. So they released the song under just The Rovers, and many people originally thought we were a group out of Nashville.” He said there were also concerns that the song glorified drinking. “But if you listen to the words, at the end of the song the boys end up in jail. It was just a fun song that wasn’t intended to carry any particular message. “When we write songs, we stay away from politics. We are not looking to offend anyone. If people leave our show whistling The Drunken Sailor, then we leave happy as well.” The Irish Rovers started a Western Canadian tour on Friday in Medicine Hat that will bring them to Kelowna for a show at the Kelowna Community Theatre on Thursday, Sept. 29. Tickets are $43.25/person; available at 250-7625050 or online at selectyourtickets.com. Millar is excited about this tour because of the travel arrangements— one flight to Medicine Hat and the tour entourage then travels in three vans across Alberta and B.C. with the final show in Duncan on Oct.6.

NEWS ▼ NEW NHL SEASON
▼ MLA’S REPORT
Out with the old, in with the old Take the time to celebrate forest industry’s importance I T guess you could call it a sign of the times. Certainly it’s the perfect benchmark moment to verify the adage that ‘even old dogs can learn new tricks.’ NHL veteran Mike Modano retired this week —and he did it via Twitter. When it comes to adapting to change, heck that beats using an aluminum shaft hockey stick by a dozen ‘apps.’ For those of you not wired to the world of ice hockey, Modano was a U.S.-born star who finally hung up his skates after 21 seasons. What places the additional exclamation point behind his long anticipated departure is his unexpected utilizing of social media to announce his retirement. Clearly, Mike is ready for life after hockey. Modano, the alltime leading NHL scorer among U.S.-born players, posted his departure announcement Wednesday on Facebook and Twitter, adding that he will hold a press conference Friday. (Hmmm…the horses are out of the barn—someone please close the door.) “After a long summer of thinking about my future, I’ve come to the decision that it’s time to retire as a player from the NHL,” Modano scribed on Facebook, linked to his Twitter account. Apparently several NHL players responded back on Twitter and Facebook with kind wishes and compliments.
HODGE PODGE
Charlie Hodge Modano a shifty, talented centre played 1,499 regular-season NHL games, including 1,459 with the Minnesota/Dallas franchise, and finished his career with 561 goals and 813 assists for 1,374 points. He was the first overall draft pick in1988 of the Minnesota North Stars—Trevor Linden was selected second in that year’s draft by Vancouver Canucks—and went on to play 21 seasons in the NHL. Modano won the Stanley Cup with the Stars in 1999 and played in eight All-Star Games. He holds NHL records for the most goals, points, playoff points (145) and games played by a U.S.-born player and Minnesota/Dallas franchise records for games played in the regular season, games played in the playoffs (174), goals in the regular season (557), goals in the playoffs (58), assists in the regular season (802), assists in the playoffs (87) and points in both the regular season (1,359) and playoffs (145). Former teammate Brett Hull told the Hockey News Modano was, “The greatest American
player ever.” While a veteran Yank leaves the NHL, a veteran European returns in the elder figure of Jaromir Jagr. It’s almost enough to make me want to watch Philadelphia Flyer games. There is no other professional sports team I dislike more than Philadelphia. However, with all the interesting offseason moves the club has made, I admit to being fascinated with how the club does. Aside from Jagr and signing talented puckstopper Ilya Bryzgalov, the Flyers also snagged in the off-season my favourite rookie player this year Brayden Schenn in a deal with Los Angeles. Brayden is the younger brother of former Kelowna Rocket Luke Schenn. This teenage pivot oozes with talent. If he lines up with old man Jagr who knows what could happen. Too bad they’re both with Philly. (Jeez, I never realized one could become so emotionally confused over hockey!) *** Speaking of ‘signs of the times,’ reminds me of a significant fundraiser for Capital News photographer Sean Connor. A world class fellow and world class photographer, Connor is in the fight of his life and needs local support. He was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor and undergone major sur-
gery. He’s now in need of money for transportation and living expenses while he undergoes special postoperative radiation therapy at Loma Linda, Cal.. An art sale is planned for Saturday, Oct. 1, in Kerry Park, between noon and 2 p.m. Some of the art work at the event will include fabulous photos by Connor. The outstanding photographer held a gripping and emotional photo journalism show last year at the Kelowna Museum, titled Depth Of Field. He is wonderful man and a loving father and husband who has given so much of himself to our community, our country and the world. We are blessed to have had him share his many skills with us. But now he needs our support so anything you can do to lend a hand, to support the art sale and other fundraisers his coworkers and friends are organizing, will be greatly appreciated. *** And for health’s sake do not miss the First Baptist Church’s second annual Fall Fair this Saturday. The church is located at 1309 Bernard Ave. If all the yummy food is not a big enough draw then consider all the family fun including a wet sponge toss, face painting, popcorn, fish pond, crafts See you there. The event runs from 3 to 6 p.m.

TRAVEL Egypt slow to recover its tourism Lisa Krieger CONTRIBUTOR
Exploring Egypt months after a revolution rocked the Middle East, the only conflict we witnessed was between a taxi and carriage driver, furiously arguing over our business. The sidewalk scene was unsettling to a pair of tourists simply seeking a ride down the street. But it was nothing compared to our pre-travel fears, fueled by media reports of violence. And it revealed a larger truth: In a nation so dependent on tourism, these are very tough times. Curious to explore a nation in transition, my 22-year-old daughter and I discovered that Egypt’s loss was our gain. The turmoil in January caused visitors to rush for the exits—and they’ve stayed away, through the long, hot summer. The ongoing trial of ousted President Hosni Mubarak, triggering clashes between supporters and detractors, won’t fix things quickly—rather, it is one step in a long process of building the new Egypt, with elections and constitutional reforms still ahead. But the nation’s Pharaonic treasures and pyramids are as stunning as ever. And there’s a new tourist attraction: Cairo’s Tahrir Square, where demonstrators gathered in anti-government protests. Although not much
to look at, it is a symbol of peaceful resistance, ringed by vendors doing a brisk trade in “25th January” T-shirts, flags, caps and bumper stickers. We also admired triumphant graffiti, marveled at Mubarak’s burned-out headquarters of the National Democratic Party and toured an art display dedicated to the revolution. It’s not necessary to line up for hours, as is customary, to enter the carved tombs in Luxor’s Valley of the Kings. Instead, we experienced what English archaeologist Howard Carter must have felt in 1923, peering down lonely tunnels for that first glimpse of Tutankhamun’s sarcophagus. Riderless camels and horses ringed the empty sand-swept parking lots of the pyramids at Giza, where hundreds of tour guides, postcard sellers and trinket sellers also waited for customers. There was no jostling for snapshots of the Sphinx. At the famed Egyptian Museum, about 200,000 people a day once paraded past dimly lit cabinets of antiquities. We were free to stroll around and linger at favorite sights. Along the Nile, many traditional falouka sailboats were roped to the docks. Even the touristy Red Sea beach resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, far from Cairo’s turbulence, offered deeply discounted rooms. So did

Like its next-door neighbors—the Meridian, Hilton and other upscale hotels—this elegant Sofitel hotel closed its doors in late January, rather than operate at a loss. In February, only 35 percent of rooms were filled.

TRAVEL
‘As always, Russians are everywhere’ Egypt from A32 signs of Americans. One morning at dawn, I climbed aboard the small motorboat of naturalist Mohamed Arabi, The Birdman of Aswan, and had a personal introduction to exotic Nile species such as sunbirds, gallinules and storks. “Because of all the American propaganda outside, only you, you’re the only one here!” he despaired. “What kind of problems you see today? There is not any problem. There is no problem at all.” Back home in Palo Alto, Calif., while we packed for our trip, worried friends asked: “What about Lara Logan?”— the CBS war correspondent who was stripped by a mob and then sexually assaulted; saved by women, who closed ranks around her. She required four days of hospitalization, while a crowd of 100,000 celebrated the fall of Mubarak in Tahrir Square. Privately, family members questioned my parenting skills. It is true that Egypt has no head of state. The civil police, symbols of Mubarak’s repression, abruptly have withdrawn. Political unrest continues in neighboring nations. Thousands of troops have been moved into the Sinai Peninsula as part of a major operation against al-Qaida inspired militants, increasingly active there since Mubarak’s ouster. Authorities have blamed these militants for the Aug. 18 attack of Israelis on the southern Israel-Egypt border, as well as pipeline bombings in the north. The violence does not appear to be targeting tourists. But of this I was sure: Opportunities don’t wait for perfect timing. My daughter had just graduated from college and had an entire month free. My work at this newspaper, covering higher education, had slowed for the summer. Plus, we already had under our belt other memorable adventures in edgy nations with-
in Africa and Latin America. So we went. Cautiously. We steered clear of political gatherings in Cairo, particularly after the mosques emptied on Fridays. We were careful to dress conservatively, to not walk alone or venture into the poorest neighborhoods, or look strange men directly in the eye. The U.S. Embassy has received increasing reports during the past several months of foreign women being harassed, or groped in taxis and in public places. We encountered no threats—just frequent catcalls that grew annoying, like mosquitoes. When hounded, it’s permissible to be loud and offensive, saying “Bas!” (“Stop!”). When confronted, no one wished to make a scene. (“Tourist police” were everywhere; in exchange for help, they asked for spare change.) Traffic jams have intensified since the departure of the police, creating chaotic streets in Cairo. We found it faster to walk, or take the subway. But we experienced no pickpocketing or property crime, so common elsewhere in the world. Perhaps because Egypt is so dependent on tourism, it seems to take the safety of visitors seriously. “My biggest fear is that I’ll turn a corner and bump into a camel,” said Renate Emmler, a German electrical engineer who now works as an instructor at the Black Rock Dive Centre in Dahab. Anti-U.S. anger was targeted toward American politicians, not average citizens—an important distinction. And while locals anxiously wanted to discuss politics, we avoided debates involving Israel. The biggest nuisance was the vendors, desperately trying to sell their wares. Who could blame them? Tourism is the lifeblood for this country of more than 85 million people. Egyptians hoped that the overthrow of Mubarak
would improve their lives, but many in the tourism industry are economically worse off than before the revolution. After January’s uprising, revenues from tourism collapsed, putting pressure on the balance of payments and starting a slide in foreign reserves, according to a recent analysis by the Economist. Hopes were high; now restless young men who lost their hotel or taxi jobs sit around cafes, with cellphones in hand, waiting for any odd work. Unemployment is highest among 15- to-20year-olds. “Before, I made money and could feed my horses and family. We were busy all day, going here, going there. I had two people working for me,” said one man, who asked not to be identified, seeking to sell horseback rides to tourists along a Dahab beach. “Now look, there are only 30 or 50 people on the beach—for three hotels! I am scared.” Egypt’s economic growth is expected to slow to just 1 percent this year, a sharp drop from a 5.5 percent rate in the second half of 2010, according to a report in April by the International Monetary Fund. The drop in tourist revenue is a big part of the problem; only ship traffic through the Suez Canal brings in more money. “It’s not just the hotels, but all the workmen related to the hotel—the maintenance people, the electricians, the plumbers ...” said Hanan Attiatallah, a German-educated woman who owns Aswan’s lovely and newly renovated
Philae Hotel. If the economy improves, it could help consolidate democracy; if it falters, it could undermine progress. In our own modest way, we were happy to help and witness, with few other tourists, both the old and newly emerging Egypt. “This is the moment for everyone who wishes the Egyptian revolution well to visit,” Egyptian novelist and political commentator Ahdaf Soueif recently wrote in the London Guardian. “Everyone who’s interested in the great experiment we’re living through should come and be part of it.” “It will settle down,” Attiatallah predicted. “But for now, guests who like to take this adventure, they should come here now.”
IF YOU GO:
Security: On April 29, the U.S. Department of State lifted the ordered departure for the U.S. Embassy, which has resumed normal operations in Cairo. But during the trial of former President Hosni Mubarak, the state department recommends avoiding the immediate vicinity of the Police Academy and exercise caution on the Ring Road that passes in front of the building. Because Egyptian security services have not yet fully redeployed, the state department warns of possible sporadic unrest. Police response to emergency requests for assistance or reports of crime may be delayed. The Egyptian governSee Egypt A34

He added, “The Roadshow is great because it puts money in people’s pockets, especially during such hard times. Lots of items that are just sitting around collecting dust in basements and jewellery boxes can be exchanged for money, on the spot!”

She had a nice assortment of coins that were not rare dates, but Expert Elijah Gold explains, “We have
she was able to sell them for their silver content”. She explains, “I never would have thought that my old tin of coins was worth so much! I can Ànally afford to renovate my kitchen”. Perry Bruce continued, “Canadian coins prior to 1967, and American coins prior to 1964 are all made with silver, and we have noticed a large increase of customers coming to the Roadshow with coins and cashing them in for their silver value”. Experts at the Roadshow will evaluate and examine your items, FREE OF CHARGE, as well as educate you on them. The Roadshow sees hundreds of people during a one week event, and they have been travelling across Canada to different cities and towns, searching for your forgotten treasures. Trains, dolls, toys, old advertising signs, pocket watches, porcelain and bisque dolls, pretty much everything can be sold at the Roadshow. Any early edition Barbie’s are sought after by the Road-
show collectors, as well as a variety of Dinky Toys and Matchbox cars. Lionel Trains and a variety of tin toys can also fetch a price, especially if they are in their original box or in mint condition. If a collector is looking for one of your collectibles, they can always make an offer to buy it.
A man brought in a 1950’s Marx Tin Toy Robot, in fairly good condition, still in its original box. They were able to locate a collector for that speciÀc toy within minutes, and that gentleman went home with over $700 for his Toy Robot and a few other small toys. So whether you have an old toy car, a broken gold chain, or a Barbie sitting in the closet, bring it down to the Roadshow, they will take a look at it for FREE and it could put money in your pocket!

Mazda CX-9 GT: Seven seats with a sportscar’s soul Jim Robinson CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
While it is one of the smaller carmakers in the world, Mazda is one of the biggest when it comes to innovation. The story of its development of the rotary engine is now a legend. The MX-5 Miata was so ahead of its time 26 years ago that no manufacturer has ever tried to compete against it. The Mazda5 mini minivan was five model years ahead of everyone else in North America with competitors now trying to catch up. At this writing, Mazda has embarked on its greatest challenge ever, SKYACTIV technology. Mazda is planning to concentrate on the internal combustion engine to produce the cleanest and most energy- and fuel-ef-
ficient gasoline and diesel engines in the world. And while Mazda cannot claim to have pioneered the seven-seat crossover utility vehicle (CUV), it is safe to say they saw that lighter was better. When the CX-9 fullsize CUV debuted in 2007, it was different from its competitors many of which needed V8 engines to push the weight of the CUVs of the time around. Back then Mazda and Ford were tied together in research and development with the CX-9 and Ford Edge sharing the same general platform with the Edge being strictly a fiveseater. Mazda positioned the CX-9 as the seven-seat alternative to the outgoing MPV minivan. Ford and Mazda have since gone their separCONTRIBUTED
See MAZDA B3
THE 2011 MAZDA CX-9 (GT model shown) is a full seven-seat CUV that doesn’t look like an extended wheelbase minivan or full-size SUV.

ate ways but the CX-9 remains Mazda’s biggest model with seven-seat utility. And while there are now more large CUVs than anyone can shake a stick at, when it comes to having some enjoyment to go along with the daily commute, the CX-9, like its little brother, the CX-7 CUV, is hard to beat. That’s because Mazda sees its core value as being ‘fun to drive’ and that is the signature attribute of any Mazda now and in the future. Then as now there are two trim levels, the GS and GT (as tested) with one engine, a 3.7-litre DOHC V6 with 273 hp and 270 lb/ft of torque. Also unchanged is the sixspeed automatic transmission with ‘Sport’ mode sequential manual shift. Front-wheel-drive (FWD) is standard on the GS with Active Torque Split All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) optional on the GS and standard on the GT. The AWD system is of the ‘slip and grip’ kind and, while simple, it gets the job done in all but serious off-road conditions. Suspension is coil springs and MacPherson struts at the front with coil springs and a multi-link independent system at the rear. Stability control, traction control and roll over control are standard on both models. A roll over sensor activates the threerow airbag curtains in an emergency. Both models have as standard a towing package that includes a larger fan and radiator. With the optional trailer hitch, the CX-9 can haul up to 1,588 kg (3,500 lb). In terms of fuel consumption, the FWD GS comes in at 12.7/8.4L/100 km city/highway while the AWD GT tested here rates at 12.8/9.0L/100 km city/highway. Where the CX-9

MOTORING ▼ MAZDA CX-9
Great people, cargo hauler Mazda from B3 shines is in people and cargo hauling. Interior volume is 4,434 litres. There us 2,851 litres with the second and tthird rows folded. t I still own a 2001 Mazda MPV that continues to give yeoman service in the hands of my tdaughter. There are times when you need this kind of room and I doubt we could have moved her fwithout it when she recently graduated from university. To show how times have changed, when my son and daughter were kids, we needed all that space in the MPV to visit friends or journey to Grandpa’s farm. This time around, my wife’s and my combined three bags looked puny inside the cavernous interior of the CX-9. The GT is very well equipped with the aforementioned stability/traction/roll over control augmented by a Bluetooth hands-free phone system, steering wheel mounted controls, telescopic/tilt steering, eight-way adjustable power driver’s seat, rain sensing wipers, xenon headlights, fog lights, blind spot monitoring system, driver’s seat memory, Sirius Satellite radio and 20-inch wheels. For a full-size CUV, the CX-9 is reasonably light at 2,062 kg. Mazda makes sure the ‘spirit of a sportscar’ is built into everything it makes and it does come
through in a vehicle even as big as the CX-9. While not a slalom racer, the CX-9 is surprisingly agile for its length and height. Part of this is due its rack and pinion, engine rpm sensing variable power assist steering plus the compliant suspension. On the highway during a holiday weekend, I was happy to have the blind spot warning system. The big plus when you pass another car, is an orange warning light in either sideview mirror. When the light goes out, it means you are safely by and then can signal to get back in the inside lane. As noted above, the differences between the base GS that starts at $36,395 and the GT is the amount of trim. The GT as tested here with one option, the voice activated navigation system with touchscreen and power tailgate, was priced at $48,270. Yes, there are times when six seats are not enough. So if a boxy extended minivan or a truck-like SUV is not for you, the stylish CX-9 is a great alternative.

ing a PBS documentary on the history of chess. Then again, I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet tested the 2012 Fiat 500. A colleague reported being mobbed by Fiat fans, former owners and the just plain curious in San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Little Italy. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go that far for a similar reaction. At the golf club, I was stopped by a group of guys eager to know more about the car. Judging by the Mercs, Bimmers and Audis in the parking lot, they were probably driving vehicles worth two to three times the top-trim Fiat 500â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $19,500 MSRP. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen photos of the original â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cinquecentoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from 1957, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll notice some unmistakable cues in the new car: the headlights, chrome door handles and chromed rear license plate brow. Of course the front grille is entirely new as there was none on the original, which was rear-engined. The shape of the 2012 model, too, is a nod to the past. Keep in mind, though, that the 1957 Cinquecento was much smaller at only three metres long, and was powered by a tiny 479 cc, two-cylinder, air-cooled engine. The 2012 version is still a pipsqueak among subcompacts (279 mm shorter than a Yaris Hatchback and 177 mm shorter than a MINI), but at just over 3.5 metres (140 inches) long and having a functional rear seat, is a more practical size than the early Cinquecento. It also looks far more sophisticated, with cleaner lines, a smoother shape and a nice set of alloy wheels. And that sophistication extends to the powertrain, which for 2012 is an all-new, MultiAir 1.4-litre four cylinder. This technology was recognized by Popular Science Magazine with a Best of Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New in 2010 award and is reported to offer up to 10 per cent greater fuel efficiency and power, with 10 per cent fewer CO2 emissions. Of course in a car this small I expected stellar fuel economy, so the 6.7/5.1 L/100 km (city/ hwy) rating wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much of a surprise. My concern, however, was with the powerplant, keeping in mind that the original put out a measly 13 hp. But rest assured, the little 16-valve Multi-

INSIDE, the Fiat 500 pulls no punches with the bold body-coloured panel, housing a simple, but functional array of instruments and controls. Air engine did not disappoint. It delivers 101 hp and 98 lb/ft of torque, which is more than adequate to launch the Fiat 500â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1,074 kg (2,363 lb) curb weight with pep, and deliver it to highway speed somewhere under 10 seconds. And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even a Sport button on the dash that will sharpen both the steering and throttle response, giving you a sportier feel. The 500 comes in three modelsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Pop ($15,995), Sport ($18,500) and Lounge ($19,500) as tested. Front suspension for the Pop and Lounge is MacPherson struts with coil springs, twin-tube shocks and stabilizer bar. Rear is a twist beam with coil springs and twin-tube shocks. The Sport model gets sport-tuned shocks and springs, front and rear. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an opportunity to drive the Sport, but found the Lounge to be nimble, with marginal lean in the corners, considering its tall design. The Sport, with its more aggressive suspension, is reportedly even more tossable. My tester included the standard-equipped five-
speed manual. It was a joy to work as the shifter was light and clutch was smoothâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;its takeup neither too leisurely nor too abrupt. With an engine that revs willingly and a light Euro exhaust note that builds intensity with engine speed, I found it a pleasure to row through the gears. For those who are immune to such frivolities, an Aisin six-speed automatic is available for $1,300. Inside, the Fiat 500 brings a smile as readily as its whimsical exterior. This starts with an exterior-colour-matched upper panel that spans the width of the dash and houses a clean and simple array of instruments and controls. A single, concentric cluster shows speed, tachometer and warning lights, with a multi-info display in the centre that provides trip odometer, outside temperature, average fuel economy, distance to empty and more. Frequently used knobs are located centrally and ringed in chrome, and both HVAC and audio controls are intuitive and easy to operate. Depending on trim level, seats can be either fabric or leather, with a

variety of colours like black, two-tone red and two-tone brown. My tester had black leather seats (along with leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob), providing a comfortable and surprisingly high vantage point with excellent visibility. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also 8.2 inches of seat travel for both driver and passenger, making it possible to get a couple of adults in rearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; providing thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some compromise up front. Still, according to company specs, the 500 has significantly more rear seat room than the MINI. Cargo room, too, is surprising for a car this size. With the rear seats up, you get 184 litres of spaceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;enough for a load of groceries or a couple of overnight bags. Drop the seats and you have 496 litres. The base vehicle comes with a reasonable standard equipment list that includes keyless entry with power locks and windows, power heated mirrors, projector headlamps, tilt steering, multi-info display, six-speaker AM/ FM/CD/MP3 audio system and more. A nice exterior touch is the chrome door handles, although if you want a set of alloys to replace the standard 15-inch steel wheels with covers, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to pay an additional $500 or upgrade to Sport. Same goes for air conditioning and hands-free Bluetooth. Opt for Sport, and you get some additional features like cruise control, steering wheel audio controls, sport seats, larger 16-inch alloys, red brake callipers, sport suspension, rear spoiler, side sill ground effects, chrome exhaust tip and more.

it begs the question: Do I really need anything much larger? Probably not, and with hipster subcompacts like the 2012 Fiat 500, allowing you to drive in style without breaking the bank, it’s proof positive that less is sometimes best.

RDX remains a sure-footed performer CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
Earlier this summer, Acura Canada marked a 400,000 vehicle sales milestone. And one of the mainstays of its seven model lineup—the Acura RDX—continues to impress with it combination of spirited, fuel-efficient performance and luxurious trappings in a modern
crossover package. The RDX was Acura’s second sport ute, first introduced as a 2007 five-passenger premium midsize entry fitting neatly below the larger MDX model. The smaller RDX lists for about $12,000 less than the MDX and, with its feral pointed snout, raked body sides and leaner athletic shape, it is sort of the wolf to the MDX’s

MOTORING Acura from B8 is rated at less than seven seconds for 0-100 kph and the engine redlines at 6800 rpm. The 2011 RDX, listing for $40,490 (with a rebated cash price online at $37,490), carries over this year after receiving a midlife makeover for 2010. Last year, the powertrain was tweaked with slight alterations to the turbocharger and with higher-ratio fourth and fifth gears in the automatic tranny. Add in streamlined aerodynamics, and the RDX’s 2010 a Transport Canada fuel economy rating has improved by eight percent to 11.7/8.7/100km (city/hwy). Of course, one hand giveth and the other taketh away. While the four-banger does offer some fuel saving over a V6, the turbo demands premium octane fuel, so tthere is a ten to fifteen percent price penalty at the pump. r After 500 km or so, I filled up with 63 litres for a personal fuel economy average of 12.6L/100km, elevated due to mostly city driving conditions. I did better on the allhighway return to Honda Canada, the trip computer reading just under 10L/100km, even at real world freeway speeds between 110-120 kph. I probably could have come even closer to the official rating by dropping down 500 rpm or so to the legal limit of 100 kph where the motor barely breaks a sweat, ticking along at just under 2000 rpm. That sounds like a slow spin rate for a smallish engine that might have to respond quickly to ac-
celeration demands or passing maneuvers, but, exclusive to the RDX, and making a first in Acura history, this i-VTEC Turbo engine uses Variable Flow Turbo (VFT) technology to eliminate turbo lag. With a constant variable exhaust valve, VFT keeps the exhaust velocity rate high for instantaneous acceleration. The turbo is also intercooled, even when the engine is stopped, for better turbo reliability.

all-wheel drive in an SUV but the Super Handling emphasis of the SH-AWD system has always been more about on-road per-

LAST YEAR, THE POWERTRAIN WAS TWEAKED WITH SLIGHT ALTERATIONS TO THE TURBOCHARGER AND WITH HIGHER-RATIO FOURTH AND FIFTH GEARS IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANNY.
Power is translated via Acura’s trademark Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system. A new front-wheel drive version was added for 2010 but it is only available in the U.S., not in our smaller, more limited market. Power delivery from the SH-AWD system varies from a normal 90/10 percent ratio front/rear torque split to a near 50/50 delivery under hard acceleration. Power can also be directed from side-to-side with, for example, almost

Housing strategy ideas welcomed
Advice on how to pay off your mortgage faster
A variety of ideas about housing in Kelowna will be on display Tueday, Sept. 27, at an open house in the Laurel Packinghouse. The City of Kelowna’s Housing Strategy is being updated to reflect current needs and explore new ways to encourage more affordable options in the marketplace. Visitors to the open house can provide opinions on recommendations such as courtyard housing and
improving the opportunities and fit of secondary suites in neighbourhoods. “The strategy takes a broad look at the entire spectrum of housing issues in Kelowna, but affordable housing has clearly emerged as a primary issue,” said Theresa Eichler, the city’s community planning manager. “Like many communities across Canada, more than 30 per cent of
households in Kelowna struggle with housing affordability.” Recommendations from the housing strategy will be on display from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Laurel building, 1304 Ellis St. City staff will be on hand to talk about current housing conditions, answer questions and collect feedback. For more information about the Housing Strategy, visit www. kelowna.ca.

A mortgage is a big commitment. While most mortgages are paid over 25 to 30 years, we have some tips to help you pay it off faster. Reducing the number of years you make mortgage payments can add up to huge savings. Most lenders allow prepayment options, although the prepayment privileges differ from lender to lender, generally the range is from 10% up to 25%. You can increase your monthly payment from 10 to 25% of the original payment amount plus prepay up to10 to 25% of the original mortgage amount each year. Both options allow you to pay down your principal faster and save. There are several ways to “pay down” your mortgage and get out of debt faster. The examples below are based on a $200,000 mortgage at 3.59% in a five-year closed term amortized over 25 years. Your payment can be increased when you arrange your mortgage, or at any time during the term. As an example, based on a $200,000 mortgage, if you increased your monthly payment of $1,008.06 by as little as 10%, to $1,108.87, you could save $41,031.54 in interest over the life of the mortgage.
YOU ALSO HAVE THE OPTION TO MAKE PAYMENTS MORE FREQUENTLY WHICH SAVES YOU MONEY IN INTEREST CHARGES OVER THE LONG RUN AS IT ALLOWS YOU TO PAY DOWN YOUR PRINCIPAL FASTER.
You would also reduce your amortization (number of years you have your mortgage) to 14 years, 7 seven months. You can also use your pre-payment privilege to make lump sum payments. A lump-sum payment is applied directly to your outstanding principal if there is no outstanding interest owing of your mortgage. For example, if you made a $5,000 lump-sum payment each year during your five-year term, you could save $25,841.37. This would reduce your amortization and allow you to own your home about 41/2 years sooner. You also have the option to make payments more frequently which

saves you money in interest charges over the long run as it allows you to pay down your principal faster. For example, if you made accelerated bi-weekly payments of $504.03 instead of monthly payments of $1,008.06 you would reduce your amortization by over three years. Keep in mind your payments are every two weeks and there will be two months in each year where you will have to make three payments. You can pay as much as possible on any mortgage at renewal as all mortgages become open at renewal time. For example, if you chose five-year, fixedrate terms, and made one $10,000 lump-sum payment at mortgage renewal time, you would save about $12,745.62 allowing you to own your home a few years sooner.

Idyllic setting for condo living MKS Resources spokesperson Bonnie Kaufmann talks about the company’s Lower Mission project. Shauna Nyrose CONTRIBUTOR
Question: Briefly give us an overview of The Water’s Edge? Kaufmann: The Water’s Edge is in the heart of Kelowna’s Lower Mission. This exciting condominium project is a unique one of a kind project. Water’s Edge has 64 units and pricing starts at a modest $355,900 and range up to $1,450,900. Square footages start with the smallest condo at 1,072 sq. ft. If buyers are looking for the large condo with outstanding views, these condos are also available, as large as 3,540 sq. ft. The building site is located right along the banks of Mission Creek just steps from Okanagan Lake, a block from dinner at the Eldorado Hotel or many other amenity choices Q: What’s different or unique about The Water’s Edge versus other comparable projects in the Okanagan? Kaufmann: Construction is well underway with differences becoming evident. You can now see in lieu of trying to visualize from paper the quality, generous spaciousness to the expansive ceilings, exception-

Q: How does Water’s Edge compare with other projects? Kaufmann: We offer a combination of central location, outstanding views, impressive sizes, unique floor plans. As an experienced developer and a local developer who knows how important it is to allow buyers to have their own personal preferences at Water’s Edge we try our best to meet homeowners’ needs. Twenty-eight different floor plans allows a lot of people a lot of choices.
Q: Tell us a little more about the location and the key amenities in The Water’s Edge area. Kaufmann: The Lower Mission has a number of ideal choices surrounding Water’s Edge, from a few short steps to the beach to a quick game of golf, a walk along Mission Park Greenway. Starbucks is always busy and if it is, a short drive or bike ride will take you to the nearby Tim Hortons. From an assortment of dining restaurants to corner style meat markets, there are many amenities
all within a short walk. Q: What unique features are in the homes themselves, and why are these important to your buyers? Kaufmann: Careful planning has gone into the numerous amount of floor plans. Each unit focuses on luxury and generous space. Nine-foot high ceilings give a feeling of large from the time you step into the entrances. Well appointed twostorey units will showstop a double bank of windows giving tremendous amounts of light and soaring heights with an
outstanding view. There are also exceptional size balconies for some who love to entertain outdoors. Most of us like to feel like we are on top of the world when it comes to our homes, and at The Water’s Edge some homes are 40 to 50 feet high. Q: Who are your key buyer groups and why have they chose your new community to live? Kaufmann: Buyers who come to live in this style of development are usually from the baby boomers group who are wanting to downsize or

to simply just trade space where can be a maintenance free home. This is indeed The Water’s Edge. Baby boomers want to spend time doing all that they can without all the work and yet not have to drive too far to get somewhere. Also, there is a desire to enjoy the peace and quiet in a great neighbourhood. Q: What are your most home popular plans at The Water’s Edge and why? Kaufmann: A number of the more popular units are the larger units. For example, out of 15
Loft units (two-storey) we have only approximately a half dozen available now and they are mostly the smaller Loft units. The reason for this…I think people do want to downsize, but some still do enjoy a larger home. Homeowners also wish to have the security of a building if they leave for warmer climates in the winter months. Q: What amenities and services do you offer and what are most popular with The Water’s Edge buyers? Kaufmann: The Water’s Edge offers a sizeable outdoor seasonal pool, a 20 x40 lap pool along side an outdoor hot tub to enjoy. On site is a Residence Room to invite birthday goers or wine tasting events, Christmas parties, etc. Also there is an Exercise Area for those who love to work out on a regular basis without leaving your home. Q: How long have you been in business and why did you choose The Water’s Edge to call home? Kaufmann: The Water’s Edge developer, MKS Resources, has 25 years of experience in the Okanagan. The company has seen the market go up and down over those years, but we still call the Okanagan home. MKS has an authentic reputation for quality and reliability. They’re a developer who has been here, done that, and is still See Idyllic A23
