The death last week of the last local member of a pioneer-ing Central Okanagan family has resulted in the bequest of a 324-hectare piece of parkland in the shadow of Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park.

The property has been left to the Central Okanagan Land Trust by the Johns family, with the death March 15 of 92-year-old Alf Johns.

Hugh Westheuser, past-president of COLT, had known Alf and his sister Nancy Johns for the past 30 years and said the gift says a lot about the family and

the type of people they were.“They felt it was important

that future generations should know the Okanagan as they knew it,” said Westheuser.

“They felt that wildlife should continue to have a place to live in the Okanagan. They respected the land and they didn’t put great demands on nature by the way

they lived,.”He guesstimated the value of

the land at $2 million to $3 mil-lion, adding that a land manage-ment plan will now have to be undertaken for the property.

Neither Alf nor Nancy had children, and Nancy fi rst ex-

The Mountie who gained national attention for kicking Kelowna resi-dent Buddy Tavares in the face, will be charged with two counts of assault caus-ing bodily harm, while ac-tion on a third complaint of excessive force awaits.

Peter Hourihan, the RCMP’s deputy com-missioner, made the an-nouncement that Crown Counsel approved char-ges against Const. Geoff Mantler in Kelowna on Thursday afternoon, not-ing that he realized action on the matter was “ex-tremely important to Brit-ish Columbians” and, in particular, local area resi-dents.

Since the Jan. 7 inci-dent, where Mantler was fi lmed kicking Tavares in the head while he was on all fours, there’s been a widespread call for char-ges to be levied, in the forms of public protest and commentary.

But it appears as though the Mountie’s issues with excessive force actually pre-date that con-frontation.

“There were two in-cidents that had occurred (with Mantler) when the Tavares incident oc-curred,” Hourihan said.

The fi rst complaint of excessive force resulting

in a charge was made Aug. 30, 2010, and Houri-han refused to offer any details on that charge.

Jeremy Packer’s re-cently publicized com-plaint for an alleged Aug. 10, 2010, incident wasn’t reported until after the Ta-vares case became public.

In that situation, Pack-er was stopped on W.R. Bennett Bridge under sus-picion of theft of a boat he had actually just repos-essed, and he’s claimed Mantler punched him in the head during the arrest.

Overall, Hourihan ad-mits these complaints have been a “black eye” on the police.

“This type of behav-iour, if substantiated in court, or in our internal code of conduct, is ex-tremely concerning for me,” he said.

“It’s disappointing at a very minimum and it’s

Judie SteevesSTAFF REPORTER

It’s a myth that Canada has masses of water, according to Oliver Brandes, associate director for the POLIS project on ecological governance at the University of Victoria.

There’s actually no surplus of water in Can-ada, he told a small group of people in Kelow-na Tuesday evening, as part of a panel discussion organized by the Okanagan Basin Water Board to celebrate World Water Day.

And, as far as exporting water is concerned, he pointed out that in fact water is heavy and hard to move, so, on the whole, it’s far cheaper to conserve water than to move it from one place to another.

He suggested a water IQ should be a pre-condition to making change happen, so people would learn to have a basic understanding of such issues as where their water comes from.

The topic for panel members was Water in an Urbanized World: Water, Food, Land and People in the Okanagan, and panelists included

UBCO anthropol-ogist John Wagner, UBCO resource economist John Janmaat, Toby Pike, manager of the South East Ke-lowna Irrigation District, Domen-ic Rampone from a pioneer farming family and Anna Warwick Sears, executive-director of the OBWB.

Janmaat noted that the valley is changing, with half the farms and twice the people in the past 30 years. Traditionally, residents were in-timately connected with their water, but that’s no longer the case.

He pointed out too, that most of the agricul-tural production is not basic food. Instead it’s agri-food with the experience of it being part of its cost and attraction.

There are lots of places in the world where there is better capacity to grow food, he added, and growing food here is not cheap.

Rampone noted food is why we exist and water is needed to grow food, so it’s important we preserve water so we can become self-suffi -cient. Water reserves tied to agricultural land are important.

“We don’t want to lose water for food pro-duction,” he said.

Wagner said agriculture is threatened as much by the cost of farmland as by water, so the average age of farmers is now ‘old,’ with young people not able to get into farming.

“We’ve retreated in our support for agricul-ture,” he said, but long-term we need to provide support for agriculture.

Instead of orchards, he would like to see local produce grown on valley farms.

“There should be farmland next to your fa-vourite cappuccino bar,” he suggested.

Sears said research shows much of our water goes to keep lawns green and advised with less sprawl, more people could be accommodated

here without affecting the needs of agriculture for water.

“We can have a balance; share the water,” she commented.

Pike agreed with her concern about conserv-ing water, and said green lawns shouldn’t be a status symbol.

However, he said conservation of water helps, but aging infrastructure will require that more is charged for water in order to pay to re-place it eventually. Economic instruments are not needed to stop water waste; regulations are needed, he said.

He said in his district farmers are leasing from the rich landowners, but now even those farmers are walking away from the leases be-cause they can’t afford to continue losing money growing apples.

There is a need to ensure there’s water for all agricultural land whether it’s in production or not, he added.

The Kelowna Curling Club will come alive Sun-day with live entertain-ment, food, wine, beer, spirits and sports.

It’s the 22nd annu-al Taste of Kelowna put on by the B.C. Restau-rant and Foodservices As-sociation, featuring tastes from more than 20 area restaurants offering fl a-vours from around the world. Many new restau-rants will be taking part this year as well as favour-ites from years past.

“This year we want our event to be a true taste of Kelowna and our cul-ture,” said Dan Darragh, branch chairman of the BCRFA Okanagan.

Family activities will include face painting, bean bag toss and balloon animals, plus local roller derby girls will be on-site

selling 50/50 tickets on behalf of the society.

“This popular event is a wonderful opportunity for people to sample cui-

sine and drink from lo-cal businesses,” said Dar-ragh. “Once again this event will give back to our community as all net pro-ceeds go to the Okanag-an Boys and Girls Clubs, the YMCA-YWCA of the Central Okanagan and Kids Care.”

It runs from 11a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, March 27 at the curling club, 551 Recreation Ave.

Tickets are $3 for chil-dren, $5 for adults and a family pass is $10. Tast-ing tickets are $1 each and prices range from 1 to 3 tasting tickets per sample.

It’s just symbolic, but if that’s what it takes to startle people into

appreciating what we have, then I’m all for it.

I spent plenty of even-ings in the dark when we lived in our log home on 40 acres in the Caribou—miles from the nearest power pole—and I can’t remember that it did me any harm.

And, I sure appreci-ated electric power when our generator was on.

We didn’t have many appliances that plugged into the wall.

Our waffl e iron fi t-ted directly over the fi re where the stove top circle was removed to put more wood in, and it had to be twirled part-way through to brown the other half of the waffl e.

The sewing machine

was sturdy and sewed right through several lay-ers of denim so I could make our jeans, but it re-quired my feet to work as well as my hands and it was quite an old Singer machine.

We heated the iron on the wood cookstove, and it wasn’t used as a door-stop as it is today.

Coal oil lanterns weren’t particularly ro-mantic—they were just what we used to provide light at night to read by.

I’ll remember that Sat-

urday night as I turn my lights off at 8:30 p.m. for Earth Hour, an initia-tive of the World Wild-life Fund to encourage people to display a com-mitment to benefi t the en-vironment, not just dur-ing that one hour, but with a pledge to continue changing how they live.

Turning out the lights certainly would save a lot of energy if we all did it more often, so it’s defi n-itely a good place to start.

And, there’s a friend-ly challenge amongst lo-cal communities to see who can garner the most support.

Those participating must pledge their sup-port on the FortisBC web-site at www.fortisbc.com/earthhour

Participants have an opportunity to win

a weekend getaway at Manteo Resort, and the community has a chance to win up to a $5,000 energy savings upgrade for a worthy non-profi t organization in the com-munity, the Kelowna Gos-pel Mission here.

Support Mayor Shar-on Shepherd and see if we can win.

If I had my way, I’d probably be joining Roseanne Van Ee swish-ing through the snow on snowshoes at Silver Star to a candlelit dinner in a backwoods cabin, then back by horse-drawn sleigh.

Members of the Okanagan Indian Band are navigating bu-reaucracy to ensure a future land base.

The band is in year eight of a 10-year process to have 1,088 hectares it owns on the west side of Okanagan Lake offi -cially designated as reserve.

“It’s a long and drawn out process with Indian and North-ern Affairs Canada,” said Chief Fabian Alexis.

The Beau Park Ranch was

purchased in 2002 using funds from a land claims settlement with the federal government.

The settlement was for 1,147 acres removed from the reserve in 1881.

The ranch would increase the reserve land base to about 28,000 acres.

“When the lands were pur-chased, there was the thought that there would be land for fu-ture generations around the is-sue of housing,” said Alexis.

“It will benefi t our band in that way.”

Environmental assessments

have been completed and con-sultation is underway with oth-er jurisdictions.

On Monday, band council-lors made a presentation to the Central Okanagan Regional District about the proposed ex-pansion of reserve land.

Of the 1,088 hectares, four parcels totalling 190 hect-ares are adjacent to Westshore Estates and within CORD’s boundaries.

CORD opposed the appli-cation in 2009, but it has now decided to consider the matter further.

“We want to go forward and have staff look at it in con-junction with the band,” said Jim Edgson, North Westside Road director. “We don’t have enough information and we want some points clarifi ed.”

Among the concerns that have arisen from CORD are lost taxes and road access into the area. Edgson believes the road issue can be addressed.

“What we have to make sure that we do is that any judgements we make are thoughtful and fair,” he said.

Alexis says the band is

looking at how to maintain road access, and he insists tax-ation should not be a reason to oppose reserve status.

“They are looking at their tax dollars but there are very few tax dollars coming from those lands because it’s raw and there is nothing on it,” said Alexis. “Currently, we do pay taxes on those properties.”

Most of the Beau Park Ranch is located in the North Okanagan Regional District.

In 2009, NORD received a referral from the federal gov-ernment about the band’s pro-

posal. A fi rm position was not taken on adding land to the re-serve. “One property has tax-able improvements on it, the remaining properties have no taxable improvements accord-ing to the 2009 B.C. Assess-ment Authority tax rolls,” said then-planner Steve Noakes in a letter to INAC.

“The regional district has no infrastructure within this area and there are no commu-nity water or community water systems to service the proper-ties. Roads are within the juris-diction of the province.”

Outgoing Okanagan-Co-quihalla MP Stockwell Day says the Opposition “engi-neered” today’s expected elec-tion call with a plan to form a coalition government if his par-ty, the Conservatives, cannot form a majority government.

Day, who announced two weeks ago he would not run in the next election, said despite all indications coming from the Liberals and NDP for months that they planned to force an election around the time of the federal budget, he was gen-uinely surprised they carried through with the threat.

Using Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper’s description that an election is unnecessary 2 1/2 years into the current mandate, Day said he truly believes Lib-eral leader Michael Ignatieff

and NDP leader Jack Layton will include the Bloc Quebecois in that coalition.

“And any co-alition with the separatists is not on,” said Day.

While he ad-mitted to feeling the rush of adren-aline at the pros-pect of yet anoth-er election—one he will not be running in after 25 years in public life—Day said he did not regret his deci-sion to quit federal politics.

The Opposition was ex-pected to vote today in favour of a motion of non-confi dence in the minority Tory govern-ment, stemming from the Con-servatives being found in con-tempt of Parliament over their refusal to provide MPs with in-

formation about the cost of new jet fi ghters and their anti-crime bill.

Day said that information was given to the Op-position-dom-inated Parlia-mentary Com-mittee when the minister showed up to testify. But the committee

still recommended the gov-ernment be found in contempt without reading the 700-plus pages fi nally turned over. He said the Opposition MPs said it was not enough.

As for the coming elec-tion, Day conceded it could get rough. But he said his par-ty will stress its success man-aging the economy, whereas he expects the Liberals will, in his

words, “present a plan to raise taxes.”

“There will be a clear choice for voters,” added Day.

The Opposition will also likely raise the issue of ethics given the scandals plaguing the Harper government, such as the contempt citation—the fi rst in Canadian history for a gov-ernment, accusations of con-tempt of Parliament for Inter-national Cooperation Minister Bev Oda over her explanation for changing a recommenda-tion to give a non-profi t group funding, the so-called in-and-out advertising plan during the last election that was found to be illegal, and an investigation into a former aide to the prime minister accused of illegal lob-bying.

The Liberals, NDP and Bloc have all said they will not support the budget which, in it-self, would trigger an election.

In recent weeks, Canadians have been bombarded with po-litical attack ads, fi rst from the Conservatives and then from the Liberals.

Day said heading into an election, candidates may want to keep it clean, but often jabs are thrown in the heat of an election race. “When the gun sounds, everyone is trying to keep it clean at the starting line but halfway down the track, el-bows tend to get thrown,” he said.

Day, who held the Okana-gan-Coquihalla riding for 11 years and easily won the last election with 58 per cent of the vote, will hand over the Tory reigns to federal newcomer Dan Albas in the next election.

He will be challenged by the NDP’s David Finnis, a Summerland councilor, and a Liberal candidate to be nomi-nated March 28.

Albas, a Penticton city councillor, is no stranger to get-ting elected, said Day, and he will be available to Albas and his team but will wait to be asked.

In response to accusations by some unsuccessful, would-be Conservative candidates that Day’s announcement was deliberately coordinated to ex-clude them, the veteran MP shrugged it off as untrue.

He said within minutes of his announcement, “everyone” knew and he had calls from many potential candidates. He said the well organized ones got their nomination papers fi led in time. He denied he had a chosen successor.

“Hard-working volunteers are the ones who run the (nom-ination process), not the par-ty brass,” said Day. “I feel bad that their actions are now being questioned.”

The antler lapels and furry hoods may not scream recyclable, but for Megan Mackenzie Jones the discarded remnants used to make these pieces are just the reusable tools she needed to land a spot in this year’s Wearable Art Gala.

The Alternator Gal-lery for Contemporary Art is attracting attention far and wide for the event this year, which is running with a recycling theme.

Mackenzie and her models, for example, are driving in from Alberta to be in the generally local show.

“I found the applica-tion online and I fi gured it was an open call from anywhere,” she said.

The young artist, a re-cent graduate of the Al-berta College of Art and Design, assembled the pieces for that school’s wearable art show last year.

By the end of next month, she will have add-ed another seven mod-

els to the ensemble she’s showing in Kelowna and will debut the new work at

Toronto’s Alternative Art and Fashion Week.

“I graduated in jewel-ry and metals, so this isn’t necessarily my fi eld. It’s just really my hobby,” she said.

Still, the fl ora/fauna nature theme to her wear-able art spins nicely into the earthy feel of the jewelry line she plans to launch this spring.

able Art Gala will help get her name out there before the pieces are revealed.

Spending the last two years collecting the feath-ers, antlers and scraps of lace she needed to build her pieces, MacKenzie said it was pretty nice to see it all come together.

Reasha Wolfe has al-ready watched her work come to life on the Kelow-na stage.

Last year, she brought Ancient Goddess Within up from Penticton, saying she learned a lot from the experience—both what to do and what not to do.

“I basically wanted to participate this year be-cause I learned so much last year that I felt I want-ed to give it another go,” she said.

Known for making big statements with her work, Wolfe said she decided to take a step back for her own mental health and go with a simple escapism theme.

Fans of her work will be treated to a dragon made of tetra packs and three fairies pulled togeth-er with plastic grocery bags and newspaper clip-pings.

With the recycling theme and focus on na-ture, it is perhaps apro-pos that WAG 2011 is re-turning to its own roots this year as well, going back to the Mary Irwin Theatre, where it had pre-viously sold out, and stick-ing with its original spring timetable.

A disappointing turn-out last year got the or-ganizers rethinking every-thing from the venue to the participants, event co-ordinator Monica Mc-Cosh said.

By moving the show back to the spring from last year’s summer show-ing, the gallery will be able to reconnect with the university crowd and draw on the work of stu-dents who made pieces in school, rather than aim-ing strictly for profession-al artists.

UBCO professor Mi-chael V. Smith, who also launches a book this spring, will act as mas-ter of ceremonies and the university’s creative and critical studies department is sponsoring a People’s Choice Award with a cash prize of $500.

Other prize sponsors include Urban Harvest’s $200 cash award; an Opus Framing & Arts Supplies package; Ballet Kelowna & the Kelowna Art Gal-

lery’s “Arts” package; and Rollingdale Winery & Mosaic Books donating door prizes.

The Wearable Art Gala runs Saturday, April 2, 7 p.m., in the Mary Ir-win Theatre of the Rotary Centre for the Arts.

Member of theBritish Columbia Press Council

British Columbian are about to get their fi ll of voting in the coming

months. While it may be the ultimate

form of democracy in action, we all seem bored and jaded by the whole process, something that is not lost on other countries.

If we can’t embrace or get ex-cited about an election, a chance to vote, then why should a dicta-tor-controlled country elsewhere feel the need to follow our way of choosing government.

If you judge democracy by

our behaviour, by how the elec-tion process has been hijacked by voter cynicism and corpor-ate greed, then why would any other country want to follow in our footsteps?

We are all but certainly head-ing for a federal election in ear-ly May, likely to be called this weekend by Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper.

Beyond the widely predicted expectation of another minor-ity government result, there will come the referendum on the HST. And then Premier Christy

Clark is hinting she will not wait until the current Liberal govern-ment’s mandate is up in 2013 to call another provincial election.

These two elections and the referendum are about to cost us millions at a time when middle-class British Columbians, the fuel behind the economic engine in this country and this province, are being asked to pay more.

In reality, we are paying the price for the HST not being an issue in the last provincial elec-tion, as it should have been.

And the federal election is not

necessary as of yet, as neither of the political party voting op-tions—Conservatives, Liberals or NDP—have illustrated their are deserving of a majority man-date.

Why? Because we don’t trust them, a fact that or politicians continue to act oblivious to, happy to go forward on their pet ideologue issues without think-ing about the best interests of all Canadians.

To see a change in that atti-tude would be something for democracy to shout about.

OPINION

Do you think it is time for Canada to have another federal election?

Do you think the Liberals or NDP have a chance of electing an MP for either the Kelowna-Lake Country or Okanagan-Coquihalla ridings?

Sound offWEDNESDAY’S QUESTION:

FRIDAY’S QUESTION:

To register your opinion on theSound Off question, go to

www.kelownacapnews.com or call 250-979-7303. Results will be

tabulated until 2 p.m. Tuesday.

Who doesn’t love a good election?

If you’re really lucky, it’s when the community’s mostly-re-spectable political hopefuls get cozy with their lowbrow behaviours on be-half of the alleged greater good.

The Okanagan’s political pro-cess is devoid of the juiciest barbs, but scanning through a history of federal election high/lowlights, I can come up with a list of snipes and creepy com-mercials that made my jaw drop in a combination of horror and fascina-tion. In many ways, the spectacle is more enjoyable than the lead-up to the Oscars, except it’s better because I ac-tually get to take part.

For the record, how-ever, should they ever choose to add a red car-pet event to the election day process, I may just die and go to heaven. Can you imagine MP hope-fuls posing for paparazzi in their formal wear? I bet Prime Minister Stephen Harper would look grand in a sash of sequins. Would you say MPs Stockwell Day and Ron Cannan are winters or autumns?

Regardless, even the most apathet-ic may be lured to pay attention to that kind of sparkly spectacle.

Well, anytime but this time. Even

if the process was infused with a little glitz and glam, I’d be less than en-thused by what’s bound to come.

Skipping provincial and municipal elections, this potential shemozzle will mean we’re going to the polls for the fourth time in seven years, and

by my estimates that’s unseemly. For the record, I don’t care for the

argument that goes something like this: “We don’t have to. The big bad Opposition just isn’t playing fair.”

Everyone involved knows what’s what—it’s just unfortunate that,

somehow over the last decade, we’ve managed to elect a group of people who get off on annoying Canadians.

Maybe locally, it’s because vot-ing anything other than Conserva-tive feels like trying to build a dam by throwing pebbles from the shore.

But, even for the right wing among us, the process must be los-ing value.

While it’s easy to be skeptical about a poor loser’s claims of foul play, some familiar with Stockwell Day’s inner circle said the recent pro-cess to fi ll his shoes was suspect. The Old Boy’s Club chose their man, and it’s a fait accompli that their choice will be the face of the south part of the

valley for the foreseeable future. Is that democracy? Not to jump

from fashion to freedom, but come on.

Around the world we’re watch-ing countries grapple for even a pale refl ection of the system we’ve bene-fi tted from, but today we can’t mus-ter the energy to engage in a process that’s becoming increasingly suspect.

Not even a full-on fashion show could diminish the sting of that unfor-tunate reality.

To the editor:Re: Hellena Pol’s letter to the editor

March 11, (Animals Need Human Pro-tection By Way Of Spay And Neuter Programs), I have two even simpler and cheaper solutions to the problem.

1. Cat owners should keep their cats inside or in their own yards, and not al-low them to roam “at large.”

2. This one is easier than family plan-ning. If you think it is too much of a both-er to take responsibility for a cat’s where-abouts, and you cannot afford a spay or neuter fee, make a conscious choice—don’t get one.

To the editor:A store in our local mall had these post

cards against the culling of the sled dogs in the not too distant past, and wanted me to sign it.

If it was done humanly there is noth-ing wrong about it, besides the mass burial of there carcasses. So be it.

My, my. We sure are easily led by the media and have such a narrow view point.

What about all the thousands of animals just thrown into the land fi lls under the guise of the food industry? All these small animals just killed then processed for food.

If not reduced and sold before the expiry date placed on the packaging we throw it into the dump. Thousands of animals not even bur-ied as the sled dogs were.

The discarded tonnage of little animals in

to the landfi lls across our nation is disgrace-ful and wrong. Here we worry about 100 sled dogs and a mass burial. Are we so small mind-ed?

Lets go back to that hockey, baseball, movie star, music, etc. More important. right?

Frank E. De Smet,Kelowna

To the editor:I am writing in re-

sponse to Hellena Pol’s letter: Animals Need Hu-man Protection By Way Of Spay And Neuter Programs in the Friday, March 11 edition of the Capital News, and to the article published in the same issue: Animal Test-ing Facility Incites Heat-ed Debate.

People might won-der why I’m responding to these issues in the same letter. I am doing so be-cause there is a defi nite link between animal test-ing and pet overpopula-tion.

There is a very sinister reality that awaits some of the dogs and cats who, through neglect or aban-donment, end up in one of Canada’s animal shelters or city pounds. In Canada, pound seizure is totally legal. This means that pets can legally be removed from shelters to be used in vivisection labs. Prefer-ence is given, too, for the friendlier, gentle animals as they will be easier to

work with. According to the 2009

statistics from the Can-adian Council on Animal Care, of the 4,730 cats used in animal experi-mentation, 3,869 or 82 per cent of them are random sourced. This is the term used for animals obtained from shelters, etc. In the same year, 11,225 dogs were tested and 6,853, or 61 per cent, were random sourced.

Most people would not be aware of the fact that animal testing is not limited to those conducted for medical, cosmetic or cleaning products.

Does the average Canadian know more than 250 million animals are killed in Canada’s vivisec-tion labs every year. If ani-mal experimentation is of such questionable value, why does it persist?

There are several like-ly explanations:

Vivisection is easi-ly published. In the “pub-lish or perish” world of academic science, it re-quires little originality or

insight to take an already well-defi ned animal mod-el, change a variable (or the species being used), and obtain “new” and “in-teresting” fi ndings within a short period of time. In contrast, clinical research (while much more useful) is often more diffi cult and time-consuming.

Also, the many spe-cies available and the near-ly infi nite possible ma-nipulations offer research-ers the opportunity to “prove” almost any theory that serves their econom-ic, professional, or politic-al needs. For example, re-searchers have “proven” in animals that cigarettes both do and do not cause cancer—depending on the funding source.

Vivisection is self-perpetuating. Scientists’ salaries and profession-al status are often tied to grants, and a critical ele-ment of success in grant applications is proof of prior experience and ex-pertise. Researchers trained in animal research techniques fi nd it diffi cult

or inconvenient to adopt new methods, such as tis-sue cultures.

Vivisection appears more “scientifi c” than clinical research. Re-searchers often assert that laboratory experiments are “controlled,” because they can change one vari-able at a time.

The control, however, is illusory. Any animal model differs in myriad ways from human physi-ology and pathology. In addition, the laboratory setting itself creates con-founding variables; for example, stress and un-desired or unrecognized pathology in the animals. Such variables can have system-wide effects, skew experimental results and undermine extrapolation of fi ndings to humans.

Vivisection is lucra-tive. Its traditionally re-spected place in modern

medicine results in secure fi nancial support, which is often an integral com-ponent of a university’s budget.

Many medical centers receive tens of millions of dollars annually in direct grants for animal research, and tens of millions more for overhead costs that are supposedly related to that research. Since these medical centers depend on this overhead for much of their administrative costs, construction, and build-ing maintenance, they perpetuate vivisection by praising it in the media and to legislators.

I appreciate the work and persistence of Lind-say Diehl and professor Jodey Castricano in bring-ing this issue to the public domain.

“The event is a fun opportuni-ty for creative minds to come togeth-er to share their ideas and showcase their work in a unique way,” said San-dra Kochan, City of Kelowna cultural

services manager.“This is the start of a local so-

cial network built around creativity, and there will be three more of these events in the next 12 months.

“We’re looking for a wide range of creative people. Architects, artists, chefs, curators, gardeners, fi lmmak-

PechaKucha Nights have been held in more than 370 cities around the world after originating in Tokyo in 2003. The informal event is built

around a simple presentation format consisting of 20 images shown for 20 seconds each. The city is looking for 10 presenters, and an enthusiastic au-dience, to kick-off the inaugural event on April 9.

The evening event will be held at the Habitat on Leon Avenue om down-

Your host, Cheryl MacKinnon

View some of my favourite up-and-coming Spring destinations in BC. There is no more

beautiful place on earth and so many wonders to discover. It’s all within your

reach−coming your way at…

Get ready to getaway this Spring...it’s all

right here in BC!

Imagine you have a beautiful landscape around your home,

but one which costs you less time and money to maintain than your neigh-bours’ expanses of lawn.

Impossible, you think? Make a habit of reading this column and I’ll tell you how.

I’ve gardened all my life in Kelowna. While I love to garden for hours on end, I’m also a lazy gardener. I want to get the utmost results for my ef-fort and money.

In 1992, when I began working at Burnett’s Nursery, I was constantly asked what would grow in a dry sunny place with lit-tle water.

My only gardening book was Sunset Western Gardening. It had a one-page list of such plants, but most of them were not hardy in the Okanagan.

I went looking for more. At the library, I found Taylor’s Guide to Water Saving Garden-ing. This book not only changed my way of gar-dening, it transformed my life.

In it I discovered the term xeriscape, which means gardening with the natural environment-al conditions you live

in rather than fi ghting against them.

I quickly understood that by following the sev-en principles of xeriscape, I could indeed get amaz-ing results for my time and money.

Looking at the pic-tures, I realized I could have a beautiful water-conserving garden in al-most any style that took my fancy, from an Eng-lish Country Garden to a Mediterranean style, a native plant garden or beautiful, easy-care ground covers.

There were many wonderful plants to choose from, including old favourites as well as many that were new to me. I was hooked on this new idea.

As I experimented with plants and these new gardening principles, I got very excited.

This led to a move to a small acreage in North Glenmore to start a plant

nursery. Using the principles

of xeriscape, we created large testing and demon-stration gardens.

I planted hundreds of varieties of plants to test how little water they needed to thrive.

The results were amazing.

You’ll learn more about these plants and about xeriscape by read-ing my new column in the Capital News.

To register for my next xeriscape classes, begin-ning April 6, April 20 or May 4, go to www.oka-naganxeriscape.org.

pressed an interest in be-queathing the land to the local land trust when it was fi rst created by the Central Okanagan Foun-dation in the early 1990s.

The fi rst parcel of 65 ha was given to the trust in 2002, after her death, and a second par-cel of 32 ha in 2003 and 2004. Both are on long-term lease as parkland to the Central Okanagan Regional District.

The pair requested that the gift of land not be made public until after their deaths. The property includes a natural spring, wetland, grasslands and some old trees around the house that remain from the 2003 wildfi re.

Much of the prop-erty today is grassland, al-though an investment of $25,000, including funds from the Tree Canada Foundation, was made to-ward reforestation of the property following the wildfi re.

Westheuser said Ber-tram Creek runs along the edge of the property and it is home to bears, deer, moose, coyotes, marmots, and all manner of other

creatures, including lots of birds.

It’s the largest gift the local land trust has yet re-ceived, he noted.

Regional district chairman Robert Hob-son said the gift of natural landscape will make a tre-mendous contribution to conservation in the Cen-tral Okanagan.

The fi rst piece includ-ed a portion of the Kelow-na Crags, which are of great interest to climbers, he noted, and the others are in proximity to Oka-nagan Mountain Park.

“It’s a long-term leg-acy and will be a wonder-ful asset for our kids and grandkids,” he acknow-

ledged. It will provide access

to an area of natural Oka-nagan environment for fu-ture generations, he said.

“It’s a wonderful addi-tion to our regional parks system.”

Brenda and Gifford Thomson raised their family next door to the Johns’ farm on Swamp Road, and Brenda says there were four young-sters—Sid, Alf, Nancy and Rosemary.

Their father, Hector Johns, moved west from Ontario, working in log-ging camps, and arrived in the Central Okanag-an in 1909where he start-ed out by logging on the Westside.

He met his wife Eliza-beth here, and the couple bought the Swamp Road property in 1928 and operated a cattle and hay operation while raising their four children.

When Alf returned from the Second World War, he and Nancy took over the family farm, and after their parents died, they sold the property and moved up the hill, build-ing a home there, where Alf died last week, Thom-son said.

“On Boxing Day we would go up the hill for a visit. We often had to hike up because the road was so bad,” she remembered.

She says Alf seemed to live a charmed life. First, he was blown up in a tank in the Second World War, and spent a lot of time convalescing in Britain before he returned home.

Then he survived the 2003 wildfi re which blew through his property. Her son, Colin Thomson, and a friend were putting up sprinklers at his home after the fi re went through the property the fi rst time, when it was turned by strong winds and came back. They narrowly es-caped, she said.

Then in very strong winds a few years ago, a large tree fell on his house, and he barely es-caped. Finally, his ATV tipped over in the snow and he was just lucky someone found him be-fore hypothermia claimed his life. He had to be re-moved by helicopter.

Thomson says Alf was a real history buff and both he and Nancy were great canoeists and out-doors people.

Third assault complaint revealedbehaviour that falls well short of any expecta-tions that I or any offi cers have.”

That said, police are often in the throes of stressful situations and those kinds of interactions can lead to confl ict, he said, explaining why Con-st. Mantler was still work-ing as a police offi cer after complaints against him

were originally lodged. “It happens, but it’s

not very common based on the number of inter-actions with the number of people,” he said.

Mantler has been sus-pended with pay, which is also an issue that’s gained a great deal of attention.

That, however, could come to an end in the near future, Hourihan indicat-ed

“Our process requires

that they get suspended with pay,” he said, not-ing a determination as to whether that will continue “will be made fairly short-ly.”

Mantler is scheduled to make an appearance on both charges in provincial court on April. 26.

The charge assessment review of these two inves-tigative reports was con-ducted in the Kamloops Regional Crown Counsel

offi ce.In a related matter,

an investigation into a complaint from the B.C. Civil Liberties Associa-tion found there was no wrongdoing on the part of Kelowna RCMP Supt. Bill McKinnon in the way he dispersed information related to the Buddy Tav-ares case.

A $15-million fund-ing announcement, which will restore a portion of the gaming grants to many community and sports or-ganizations aimed at help-ing children, is great news from the school district’s perspective.

With word Premier

Christy Clark was mak-ing good on promises to restore some of the gam-ing grants on Thursday, school district superinten-dent Hugh Gloster said he was pleased with the news and believes the money will go a long way to sup-porting local kids.

Part of the announce-ment includes an addi-tional $5 per student to go

to Parent Advisory Coun-cils, for a total of $20.

“Obviously, the addi-tion of $5 to support K-12 students…it’s something that goes a long way to PACs being able to help schools with different fi eld trips,” said Gloster.

More importantly, he pointed to funding that will go to the communi-ty to support programs di-

rected at underprivileged kids as a support that’s badly needed.

From extra funding for scouting and cadet-type programs to money for kids sports, food banks, and housing, the govern-ment made it clear the fo-cus is on children. Adult sports and arts programs appear to have been left out of the loop.

Twenty-nine licensed child-care providers in Kelowna, Westbank and Lake Country will share a total of $39,400 in bo-nus funding this spring provided by the provincial government.

This one-time funding boost for licensed group child-care (30 months to school-age) providers is to help day cares during the transition period associat-ed with the implementa-tion of full-day kindergar-ten this fall.

It is anticipated that this license category may be impacted by a lower enrolment in their child-care facilities as a result of more fi ve-year-olds at-tending full-day kinder-garten come September.

Child care providers can use this funding to as-sist with the cost of pro-viding quality child care services to purchase items that enhance develop-mental opportunities for younger learners.

This may include pur-chasing books, toys, arts and crafts supplies and other educational items, as well as minor capital enhancements to improve the quality of the facility (e.g., equipment or furni-ture).

The funds may also be used for professional de-velopment and training.

“Child-care providers do some of the most im-portant work in our com-munities, so I’m glad to see them receiving this ex-tra boost during the tran-sition period to full-day kindergarten. Above all, this is an investment in the quality of our local child-care,” said Westside-Kel-owna MLA Ben Stewart.

“Every parent knows early child care is vital-ly important. This extra funding recognizes that and will help our child care providers to become even better than they are already,” added Kelow-na-Mission MLA Steve Thomson

For his part, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick said the additional funding is proof that proof

that Premier Christy Clark is serious about her gov-

ernment putting families fi rst.

“A million dollars to give extra support for child

care providers around the province is a great way

to help families,” Letnick noted.

An elderly man al-legedly behind the wheel when a teenaged girl was struck and killed last year,

will have to wait anoth-er year before he goes to trial.

George Kozub, 80, was charged back in Oc-tober with the Motor Ve-hicle Act offence of driv-

ing without due care and attention in relation to the crash that killed 15-year-old Josie Evans. On Fri-day, his trial dates were scheduled.

His three-day trial is

set for March 2012 and will centre around the events of Jan. 13, 2010.

Around 4:30 p.m. that day, Kozub was alleged to have been driving on Bottom Wood Lake Road

near Mayrus Road when Evans, clad in dark cloth-ing, was struck from be-hind as she walked in the same direction as traffi c along the roadway, which didn’t have a sidewalk.

At the time, police said visibility was “extreme-ly poor” as it was raining heavily and there were no street lights to illuminate the area.

The death of the George Elliot Secondary student prompted calls for

road improvements in the area.

In the months follow-ing her passing, the speed limit in front of the Lake Country high school was reduced, fog lines were repainted and crosswalks were painted where side-walks end to encourage students to walk facing traffi c.

The District of Lake Country also says they have been pursuing grants to improve safety on the

area roads.As well, Lodge Road,

also popular with students walking in the area, is ex-pected to be reconstructed this year.

When you read about who goes to

college and university and who doesn’t, you often hear how hard it is for poor people to get a post-secondary edu-cation.

Often you assume this is because they don’t have enough money to pay for tuition and books. Yet there are a lot of middle-class kids who don’t have money for tuition and books either, but they manage to enrol.

There are many theories that try to explain this phenomena. The most in-teresting one I’ve come across refers to a concept called “cultural capital.”

This idea suggests that the socio-economic culture that a person is ex-posed to at an early age will not only determine whether they attend college

or university, but will also affect the school they decide to enrol in.

For example, the-orists hold that stu-dents from high socio-economic classes (es-pecially in the United States, where most of this research is com-pleted) will opt for Ivy

League schools with high price tags because this is part of their culture.

Their home and community envi-ronments shape this choice process. Their parents most likely went to the same type of school and they proba-bly attend a private preparatory school which is connected to a number of Ivy League universities.

Whether the students realize it or not, they are expected to graduate from the right school to meet family and societal expectations.

Even though they have the eco-nomic capital to attend any school they want, it is their culture that will drive their college choice process.

The fl ip side of this is that some-one from a middle or lower-middle-class family may see themselves as not entitled to the same type of edu-cation.

This even occurs in Canada where our post-secondary education system consists of mainly public colleges and universities, and where tuition fees are about the same across the country.

Although I don’t have Canadi-an statistics to substantiate the corre-lation between socio-economic cul-ture and college choice, I suspect that many rich Canadian families send their children to Ivy League schools in the United States.

I also suspect that families with high incomes can afford to send their children to any university in the coun-

try regardless of where that school is located.

For example, I have a friend whose father was an English profes-sor at Simon Fraser University and his mother was a doctor. He went to Queens University in Kingston On-tario for all his degrees (he has a PhD) because the expectation of his family was that you went back East for your university education. To him, this was what he was expected to do regardless of being able to complete that same credential in B.C.

It is the middle- to low-income students who really have to consid-er their options and will likely study closer to home because they can’t af-ford to go anywhere else and accord-ing to college choice theories they don’t see themselves as entitled to more than that.

Their economic capital as well as their culture will infl uence that col-

lege choice process where they are expected to enrol in a program or school that is affordable and gets them back into the workforce as quickly as possible.

The sad part of all of this is that some students from low-income fam-ilies may not see themselves entitled to a post-secondary education at all.

They may come from a culture that demands they enter the work-force as quickly as possible to help support the family.

What this all boils down to is the college choice process is quite com-plicated. It doesn’t always come down to high grades in high school.

It may come down to fi tting into the right college or university environ-ment depending on your socio-eco-nomic background.

For the second straight year, Kelowna Rockets captain Tyson Barrie is the Western Conference’s nominee for the WHL’s defenceman of the year.

The 19-year-old Vic-toria native won the award in 2009-10 after scoring 19 goals and 72 points in 63 games.

This season, Barrie scored 11 goals and added 47 assists in 54 games for the Rockets.

Barrie’s importance to his club was undeniable as the Rockets posted a ped-estrian 8-10 record with-out the 5-foot-10 rear-guard in the lineup.

With him in uniform,

Kelowna was 35-18-0-1. “There’s no doubt he’s

an elite defenceman in this league,” said Rockets assistant coach Dan Lam-bert. “He missed quite a few games with injury and when he was at the world juniors, and our re-cord without him showed just how valuable he is.

Tyson has had another ex-cellent year.”

In addition to the nom-ination, Barrie was named to the Western Confer-ence’s fi rst all-star team.

The other Western Conference award fi nal-ists are:

Rookie of the year—Sven Bartschi, Portland

WinterhawksGoaltender of the

year—James Reid, Spo-kane Chiefs

Most sportsmanlike—Tyler Johnson, Spokane Chiefs

Scholastic player—Colin Smith, Kamloops Blazers

Coach of the year—

Don Nachbaur, Spokane Chiefs

Executive of the year—Mike Johnson, Portland Winterhawks

Humanitarian of the year—Jeff Einhorn, Chil-liwack Bruins

Marketing/P.R.—Brian Sandy, Tri-City Americans.

Barrie returns as WHL’s defenceman of the year fi nalist

Warren HendersonSTAFF REPORTER

Mitchell Callahan re-members vividly the nerves and anticipation he felt prior to his fi rst major junior playoff game with the Kelowna Rockets two years ago.

So the hard-nosed forward knows from ex-perience what his rook-ie teammates must be feeling on the cusp of the Western Hockey League post season.

“I’m still feeling some nerves and I’ve been through this twice be-fore,” Callahan said with a laugh. “The playoffs are a new game, a differ-ent atmosphere, the game is faster and more physic-al, and there’s a lot on the line every shift.

“I know it’s exciting for our younger guys, it’s going to be a little bit new to them and there’s going to be nerves…but I think they’ll be well prepared. This is what you play for all season.”

Of the 25 Rockets cur-rently with the club, nine have no previous WHL playoff experience.

Among the fi rst-tim-ers is rookie sniper Zach

Franko, who has been anxiously awaiting his fi rst foray into the WHL playoffs.

“All of us (rookies) are looking forward to this, it’s a huge step in our ca-reers, none of us have been through anything quite like this,” said Fran-ko, a 22-goal scorer this season. “The place will be rocking, the stakes will be high, but when the time comes we’ll need to be fo-cused. The young guys will have to help out just as much as other guys on the team.

“The coaches have prepared us well and if we stick to that, then the same things we were doing in the regular season should work in the playoffs.”

While more than a third of the team is de-void of any WHL play-off experience, there is a solid contingent of Rock-ets who are battle-tested in the post-season.

Tyson Barrie, Geor-die Wudrick, and Evan Bloodoff each have 41 games under their belts, Callahan has played in 34, while Spencer Main car-ries with him 24 games of playoff experience.

Rockets assistant Ryan

Cuthbert said it will be up to the club’s leaders to set the tone and example for the Rockets

“The veterans are the guys who are responsible for getting everybody go-ing and all pulling in the same direction,” said Cuthbert. “Whether it’s on the ice, in the room, on the bus, those are the guys that show the way things are done. If they’re prepar-ing the right way and do-ing the right things, then the young guys will feed off that and follow that. At this time of year, it’s the mistakes that kill you, so preparation is key.”

Those fl edgling Rock-ets can also lean on the coaches for support, a staff that has experienced more than its share of playoff hockey over the years.

Head man Ryan Hus-ka won three Memorial Cups as a player and has coached at four more CHL championships. Assistant Dan Lambert won a Me-morial Cup in 1989, while Cuthbert has 45 games of post-season savvy under his belt, including a 2003 WHL championship with the Rockets.

From Cuthbert’s per-spective, striking a bal-

ROOKIE FORWARD Zach Franko is one of nine players currently with the Rockets who are without previous WHL playoff experience.

j

ance between being re-laxed while still playing with intensity, is key for the Rockets newcomers.

“I think we as coaches have to keep it calm on the bench and in the room,” said Cuthbert. “And as a

player it’s the same story, you can’t get too high or too low. It’s a matter of getting settled into the

game, the fi rst 10 minutes is always very import-ant to get out there feel-ing good about your game and the team’s game.”

Games 1 and 2 of the Rockets-Prince George series will be played Fri-day and Saturday at Pros-pera Place. Games 3 and 4 will go Tuesday and Wed-nesday in Prince George.

BLOODOFF TO SIT FOURVeteran forward Evan

Bloodoff will miss the fi rst four games of the 2011 Western Hockey League playoffs.

The league suspended the 20-year-old Bloodoff Tuesday for his actions in last Saturday’s 4-3 home ice loss to the Vancouver Giants.

Bloodoff was assessed a major and a game mis-conduct for a charging penalty after leaping into Giants’ defenceman Joel Rogers along the end-boards.

Rogers, who was taken from the ice by stretcher, is currently sidelined with a concussion.

Bloodoff will be eli-gible for Game 5 of the Rockets fi rst-round play-off series with Prince George.

Warren HendersonSTAFF REPORTER

You might call Jesse Keca a ground breaker—or perhaps an icebreak-er—for the sport of speed skating in Kelowna.

The Grade 10 stu-dent from Okanagan Mis-sion Secondary is the fi rst member of the Kelowna Speed Skating Club ever to win a national title.

Keca, 16, won the overall gold medal in the junior girls B division (15-16 years) at the Can-adian Age Class short track speed skating cham-pionships last weekend in Montreal.

Keca took top spot in both the 500 and 1,500 metre events, while add-ing a silver in the 3000m points race to place fi rst overall.

The medals were the result of countless hours of training for Keca, who was accompanied to na-tionals last week by her dad, Nik.

“It really means a lot to me,” said Keca, who is enjoying a family vaca-tion this week in Ontario.

“It was pretty exciting to have dad their with me, he’s been so supportive. Seeing all the hard work I’ve put into it pay off was really nice, too.”

Keca, who is also a midget rep hockey play-er in Kelowna, has shown consistent improvement since taking up speed skating fi ve years ago.

Okanagan Region-al Training Centre coach Nancy Goplen said the

national short track med-als were signifi cant ac-complishments for both Keca and the local club.

“While we have na-tional calibre long track skaters such as Keara Ma-guire, Alison Banwell and Nicholas Goplen, a win at the national short track level indicates the depth and strength of our club program and the Okanag-an Regional Training Cen-tre,” said Goplen. “Over

the past season, Jesse has demonstrated the physic-al and mental skills to take her to the highest level. Like our long track spe-cialists, Jesse will be a leader and inspiration to other club members. No doubt, we will hear more from Jesse and our other club skaters.”

Keca established her-self as an up-and-comer on the national scene ear-lier this season at the Can-ada Winter Games in Hali-fax where she fi nished in sixth place.

Only 15 at the time of the competition, Keca was competing in the U19 div-

ision and was the young-est skater to crack the top 10.

As for her long-term future in the sport and po-tential national and inter-national events, Keca pre-fers not to look too far ahead.

“I can see myself wanting to compete at a high level in the future, but right now I’m trying not to think too much about the results,” she said. “I’m just trying to enjoy this and hopefully I’ll keep improving.”

As for other Kelow-na skaters, Keara Maguire and Nick Goplen fi nished

their respective long track seasons at the Canada Cup Finale in Calgary last weekend. Keara sixth in the 3000m setting a new personal best by nearly four seconds with a time 4:17.60

In the 5000m, she was fi fth overall with a new time of 7:23.16 (old time 7:25.44). Goplen placed 29th in the 500m in a fi eld of 84 with a new time of 38.08 (old time 38.28), 20th in the 1000m in a fi eld of 70 with a new time of 1:14.27 (old time 1:15.01) and 18th in the 1500m in a fi eld of 84 with a new time of 1:52.96 (old

time 1:53.59). Both skat-ers will take a few weeks off before resuming their dry land training.

Locally, Chris Neykov and Emilie Medland-Marchen will compete this weekend in the Can-ada West Short Track Championship at the Cap-ital News Centre.

The two skaters fi n-ished second and third at the B.C. Short Track Championships to earn the right to represent the province.

Admission is free with racing between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. both on Saturday and Sunday.

The Kelowna Crows fi rst and second division teams will be in Port Al-berni on Saturday after-noon for B.C. Rugby spring action.

The Crows opened the fi ve-game Prov-ince League schedule last weekend with a pair of losses on the road to United RFC.

The Crows 1sts were competitive with United RFC to the midway point of the second half on Sat-urday, but a late scoring spree by the opponents left the Kelowna team on the wrong side of a 44-20 loss.

The locals fell behind 13-3 early, apparently still

shaking off the early mor-ning road journey.

After United’s second try, the Crows took con-trol of the game, with Rich Brewer scored a try, penalty kick and conver-sion and the Crows trailed 13-10 at the break.

Judah Campbell scored an unconverted try early in the second half, putting the Crows into the lead for the fi rst time 15-13. United RFC re-sponded fi ercely, unleash-ing an outside attack that Kelowna was unable to contain. After fi ve unan-swered United RFC tries, Kelowna’s Ryan Sousa scored late to close out the scoring.

The Crows 2nd team was in tough against the United RFC 2nds, los-ing 47-6 in the second match of the day. Grady Krohman kicked two pen-alty kicks for Kelowna.

Assistant Coach Barry Ebl said he realized that United was likely going to be very tough compe-tition in the spring league. “United has three solid teams, and they have been getting stronger since we defeated them last year,” said Ebl. “We hope to be much more competitive in the remaining four games of the spring league.”

The Crows next home action is Saturday, April 2 against Langley.

Kamloops runners Leni Meade (43:29) and Tiffany Hornbeck (43:36) were second and third, re-spectively.

In the men’s race, Ver-non’s Nathan Champ-ness took top spot in 34:41. Brian Rostek of Kamloops was second in

35:45, while Kelowna’s Rory Switzer took third in 36:20. Switzer was also fi rst in the men’s 50 to 54 age group.

Other top-25 results for Kelowna runners in-cluded Jason Rodine who placed 17th overall in 41:39, and Richard Due-ck, 23rd in 43:18.

52:29; and Bill Stephens, fi rst in men’s 70 to 74 in 52:33.

SPORTS

CONTRIBUTED

THE KPSW DESTROYERS (Kelowna, Penticton, Summerland and Westside) celebrate the gold medal at the B.C. U 19A ringette championship recently in Burnaby. This weekend, the Destroyers are in Sherwood Park, Alta., for the Western Canadian Ringette Championships.

t

Samantha Richdale enjoyed her best fi nish and biggest payday yet on the LPGA Tour.

The 26-year-old from Kelowna placed 19th in her fi rst Tour event of the season last weekend at the Founders Cup in Phoenix.

Richdale carded rounds of 72-70-71 to fi n-ish at 3-under par, good for $12,423 in earnings.

Richdale has part-time playing status on the LPGA Tour this season after fi nishing out of the top 100 money earners in 2010.

She will be looking to add to her season totals this weekend at the Kia Classic in City of Indus-try, Calif.

BOWLING RESULTSThe Rutland Bowl-

ing Association hosted its 65th annual Inter City 5 pin Bowling Champion-ships last weekend at Ca-pri Valley Lanes in Ke-lowna and Lincoln Lanes in Vernon.

The 2011 team includ-ed Amanda Menta, Joann Bosch, Charmaine Loff, Lori Faasse, Ashley Fowl-er, Carol Secca, Michael Courier, Ken Blacke, Randy Blaschuk, Dustin Issel, Shayne Davy, and Chris Davy with coaches Ray Baillie and Sharron Koffl er.

The results of the 24 city competition were:

Ladies team—3rdMen’s team—6thMixed team—5thTotal aggregate—3rdAmanda Menta was

named to the ladies all-star team while Dustin Issel was named to the mixed all-star team.

In other bowling news, Harli Loff and Morgan Dorion took top spot in the zone playoffs for the YBC doubles junior team event bowling 277 pins over their league aver-ages. Harli and Morgan now advance to the YBC Doubles provincials Sat-urday, April 9 at Capri Valley Lanes in Kelowna.

Richdale 19th in Phoenix

▼ BRIEFS

Four members of Ke-lowna’s Okanagan Mas-ters Swim Club (OMSC) achieved top-10 status in the Fédération Internatio-nale de Natation (FINA) world rankings for their respective age groups in 2010.

Cathy Sheehan (50-54) from Penticton ranked fi rst in the 50m back-stroke, and second in the 100m and 200m back-stroke. Karl Donoghue (70-74), also from Pentic-ton, ranks third in the 50m and 100m and second in

the 200m backstroke. Kelowna resident

Conny Stamhuis (75-79) put in a stellar achieve-ment with an eighth-place showing in the 100m and sixth place in the 200m backstroke.

Kelowna’s English Channel conqueror, Brent Hobbs, showed that his long hours of training paid off when he ranked eighth in the 1500m freestyle. All of these rankings were achieved in a long-course (50m) swimming pool.

Fédération Internatio-

nale de Natation (FINA) is the International Swim-ming Federation recog-nized by the Internation-al Olympic Committee (IOC) for administering international competition in the aquatic sports.

Meanwhile, Okanag-an Masters Swim Club is hosting the 2011 Team Aquatic Supplies British Columbia Masters Swim-ming Championships from April 15 to 17 at the H20 Adventure and Fit-

ness Centre in Kelowna. Sheehan, Stamhuis and Hobbs will certainly be watched during this cham-pionships. Carmelle Gu-idi-Swan is also expected to be in peak form follow-ing a two year break from

competitive swimming. Unfortunately Donoghue is still recovering from a shoulder operation.

Entries for provincials close on April 5. For more information, visit ok-masters.com.

Armed with a good sense of humour and a suitcase full

of experience, Bill Mill-er is well equipped to deal with the demands of pro-viding advice to the strata community.

As the new Kelow-na-based representative for the Condominium Home Owners Associa-tion of B.C., Miller is dai-ly called upon to serve up solutions to solve a myri-ad of issues.

“Nobody calls me up for a game of golf,” said the affable Miller.

Indeed. Almost all of the calls to the recently opened Kelowna CHOA offi ce have more to do with headaches, hassles, problems, confl ict and the intricacies of complex strata legislation, than en-joying a round on the links.

Signifying the emer-gence of Kelowna as B.C.’s condo capital out-side of the Lower Main-land, the city was cho-sen as the location for a full-time offi ce last fall to

service the Interior after years of a part-time pres-ence in Penticton.

Miller has 20 years experience as a strata owner, council president, strata manager, past mem-ber of CHOA’s board of directors and previ-ous president of the pro-vincial organization. And he’s also a leaky condo survivor.

“I love the job,” he said, unable to conceal the passion he brings to the offi ce. “Often emotions get in the way and I re-main professional to assist to resolve confl ict and get business done.”

Despite his humour-ous disposition, it is clear that Miller takes a no non-sense approach to the business.

The Strata Property Act does not provide for any easier mechanism to deal with condominium confl ict outside of appeal-ing to the Supreme Court of B.C. or arbitration.

The province is cur-rently reviewing alter-native dispute resolution mechanisms. However, it is not known what that would look like until the regulation is drafted.

CHOA is a non-profi t association that promotes the understanding of stra-ta property living and the interests of strata prop-erty owners by provid-ing advisory services, ed-ucation, advocacy, publi-cations and support for its members.

Its mandate is assist members, and the stra-ta industry, to ensure stra-ta living is a positive ex-perience.

Membership in CHOA is available to any residential or commercial strata corporation (or indi-vidual Owner).

Strata corporations may be mixed commer-

cial/residential, high-rise condominiums, leasehold stratas, townhouses, bare land stratas, duplexes, or any variety of strata cor-porations under the cur-rent legislation in B.C.

If a strata corporation is a member, anyone who owns a unit within the corporation may access the services of the Asso-ciation.

All member coun-cil members and own-ers may access CHOA’s advisory services, publi-cations, the CHOA jour-nal, resources, seminars and workshops at reduced member costs.

Non-member corpora-tions or owners may also access these services.

At the conclusion of our meeting, I asked Mill-er if he’d like to play a round of golf.

“You know I don’t even play golf,” he said with a smile.

And by the sounds of it he won’t be taking up the game any time soon.

Lady Chopard in 18kt. White Gold with Diamonds

When I turn 65, I will be loun-ging under a

palm tree, sipping a chilly Margarita and gazing at the warm, ocean waves lapping up on the soft, sandy shore.

It doesn’t matter which beach. It doesn’t matter which country.

As long as there is heat and happy hour, that will be my retirement.

Oh, I may go for a round of golf or a swim if it’s too hot. I’ll have a pile of really meaty books to read. Maybe I’ll do a Sudoku if I feel so in-clined.

No, maybe just a snooze. It’s been a tough day.

This retirement pack-age will all be courtesy of my beloved children.

They have no idea at this point. They’re not even out of school yet.

But, when I need cash

to keep me in the lifestyle I imagine, I’m counting on them to support me.

I fi gure if I supported them until adulthood, they should support me in my post-adulthood.

I won’t make them drive me places, unless the Margaritas take con-trol. I won’t make them enrol me in activities or make my lunch every day.

They’re getting off pretty easy if you ask me. I just want their money.

Now, I know what you’re thinking—Shelley, it sounds like you’ve al-ready been in the sun too long and have a few te-

quilas under your belt. Children don’t look

after their parents. It’s a one-way street. You sup-port them until they’re out of university and then a few years later you get to babysit the grandchildren.

That’s how it works.So, it’s a long-shot,

right? Maybe, one in 10,000? One in a million?

Well, don’t blow off the child-meal-ticket thought completely. It’s not as silly as you think.

Even sillier, fully 32 per cent of us think we’re going to fund our retire-ment with a big lottery ticket win, according to a Canadian poll mentioned in Maclean’s.

What are the odds of that happening—one in 85 million. My plan doesn’t seem so ridicu-lous now, does it?

I thought maybe the people who were polled were just having some fun

and said they were bank-ing on the lottery instead of an RSP. Maybe some were, but it would still be an astonishingly large number if that fi gure were two per cent.

Why would anyone count on bad odds to fund their post-working life?

As noted in the article, it’s blind hope. For some, that’s all there is.

As I edge a tad closer to retirement every day, I think about how I’ll man-age. It’s not easy because no matter how sound things look, anything can happen. The econ-omy could…oh, I don’t know…collapse or some-thing.

How many people had their retirement sav-ings carved down by at least one-third in only a few months? Years of sav-ing, gone.

You can’t rely on any-thing. Real estate could go through the roof or plunge just when you’re counting on turning it into retirement dough.

Even your company pension may be in limbo; it’s invested like every-thing else. Will we still have CPP when the last of the baby boomers go through?

There’s a lot of uncer-tainty out there.

Add on the fact that we live longer and retire sooner. We used to work until we were 65 and then have fi ve to 10 years to frolic about. Now, we re-tire closer to 55 and head on out into workless bliss until we’re past 80.

We need to fund more years. We need more money. So, snapping up a few lottery tickets along the way may be as good a chance as any of living an elderly life of luxury.

I’m still counting on my children. I’ll educate them and make sure they seek high-paying jobs.

I’ll never let them for-get how much I’ve sacri-fi ced for them. They’ll be devoted to me.

You’ll see. I’ll be cracking open my cheque from them every month in Tahiti.

Oh, who am I kid-ding? When’s the next 6/49?

While most musicians seeking a career in music need to hit the bigger mar-kets—like Vancouver or Calgary—24-year-old Thomas Kjorven has done the opposite, choosing to make the move from the Coast to Kelowna.

And it doesn’t seem to have hurt him much.

“It’s been really great here,” said Kjorven, who is nominated for three BC Interior Music Awards.

Kjorven arrived in time to see BreakOut West and the Western Canadian Music Awards played out on Kelowna’s streets last year. But he didn’t apply to participate, hoping to make his debut when Whitehorse, Yukon hosts BreakOut West this year.

He doesn’t fi nd out about that opportunity for a while yet, but when the call came in late Tuesday evening to hustle down to the Kelowna Commun-ity Theatre the next day to fi nd out about the BCIMA nominations, he was one of the fi rst on hand to hear his name called in the Best New Artist category.

“New artist is always the really exciting one,” said organizer Shelley Vida, noting there’s an ex-

tra nominee this year.It is the only category

to get four nominees, in-stead of three, simply be-cause the judges couldn’t whittle the pack any fur-ther.

No matter what hap-pens between him and those other three up-and-comers though, Kjorven said the nomination will help him immensely.

“It’s great for a few things. One is just cred-ibility. This is something that people see I’m here and I’m working…” he said.

While he couldn’t fi n-ish the sentence mid-press conference, organizers have consistently pointed to several spin-off benefi ts the artists who win will enjoy. Not only do they play for local crowds, but they are also going to be performing before several industry insiders with ties to festivals throughout the area, including Festivals Kelowna, Funtastic, Drift-

wood, Merritt Mountain Fest and Dancin’ Bare-foot.

That should mean more gigs, more expos-ure, and possibly a move up to the WCMAs, for those who are not already rolling in those circles.

In the meantime, or-ganizers for the BCIMA show are expecting it will likely sell out, particu-larly given the success of

BreakOut West.Performances will in-

clude Juno Award win-ner Greg Sczebel, Dar-by Mills (with a rock col-laboration), Aiden Mayes and Ari Neufeld, Adham Shaik (with a First Na-tion’s collaboration), Leah West, Kira Gosselin and Miss Quincy.

The other nominees for New Artist of the Year include Devon Coyote,

Nixie and Kate Morgan.Astral Media is sup-

porting the People’s Choice category through an online category on their websites. The nom-inees include Dominique Fraissard, Jodi Pederson, Kira Gosselin, Leah West, Sasha Lewis and Trinity’s Tattoo.

Are you helping to or-ganize volunteers and wonder if there is a bet-ter way to do it? Do you have challenges recruiting and keeping volunteers? Need some ideas?

Why not sign up for our Overview of Man-agement workshop? In a group of eight to 12 people, you can share ex-periences and gain know-ledge about best practi-ces in the fi eld of volun-teering.

Each of the four days of this workshop is taught by a different volunteer manager. The diversity of their experience broadens and deepens your learn-ing. They are local so that you can seek their counsel afterwards as well.

This workshop is practical and hands on. A full range of forms, checklists and other tools are provided so that you can plan, oversee and evaluate any size of vol-unteer program at any stage of development.

So, what will you learn? On the fi rst day, you will learn how volun-teer and donation trends impact your plans to re-cruit people. A communi-cation module will sharp-en your one-on-one inter-

actions. Day two will involve you in budgeting, record keeping and draft-ing position descriptions.

By day three, you move on to screening vol-unteers, managing risk and training volunteers using all types of adult learning styles. The fi nal day allows you to focus on supervising, dismiss-ing diffi cult volunteers, recognizing successful volunteer contributions, dealing with staff and volunteer relations, and evaluating your program in a variety of ways.

When is it? Where do you sign up?

The workshop will run Mondays and Tues-days, April 4, 5, 11 and 12, 2011 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. We meet at Kelowna Community Resources, 120-1735 Dolphin Ave. The cost is $199. Sign up by calling 250-763-8008 extension 25 or emailing [email protected].

Look for online volun-teer opportunities in the Central Okanagan and create your own volunteer profi le at kcr.ca.

Director Zach Sny-der (300, Watch-men) describes

Sucker Punch as Alice in Wonderland with ma-chine guns, dragons, B-25 bombers and brothels.

Set in the 1950s, it is the story of a young girl, institutionalized by her step-father, who must es-cape from the asylum be-fore she is lobotomized.

Determined to fi ght for her freedom, she uses her imagination to blur the lines between real-ity and fantasy. She urges four other young girls to join her in her fantastic-al war against everything from samurai to serpents in order to win their free-dom.

Starring Emi-ly Browning (Lemony Snicket), Abbie Cornish (Limitless), Jena Malone (Donnie Darko), Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical), Jamie Chung (Grown Ups), Carla Gugino (Watchmen), Jon Hamm (Mad Men) and Scott Glenn (Secretariat).

Rated 14A with a warning of violence.

If you were a fan of Quentin Tarantino’s and Robert Rodriguez’s Grindhouse double fea-ture, you will want to see Hobo with A Shotgun. In fact, you might remem-ber the fake trailer during Grindhouse for a mov-

ie with the same name. It is the second of the fake trailers to be made into a feature, the fi rst being Rodriquez’s Machete.

Rated 18A with a warning of explicit vio-lence, Hobo with A Shot-gun’s plot is as cheesy as its title, with Rut-ger Hauer (Blade Run-ner) starring as a home-less man with dreams of buying a lawnmower, but ends up becoming a vio-lent shotgun-wielding vigilante, pitting himself against a crime-stricken city.

However, since its premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, it has been getting better reviews than its brethren created by modern Grind-house godfathers Taran-tino and Rodriguez.

In March of last year, Diary of Wimpy Kid opened in the number two spot behind Alice in Won-derland, and although it

was far from a blockbust-er, its gross quintupled its production budget so a se-quel was announced.

Cameras rolled from late summer into fall last year in New Westminster and Vancouver on Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules and is based upon the second book of author Jeff Kinney’s series of the same name. It continues the story of Greg Hef-fl ey who is now in grade seven and must deal with the emotional turmoil of school, but most promin-ently, he must endure the punishments of his older brother Rodrick.

Most of the original cast has returned, includ-ing Zachary Gordon as Greg, Devon Bostick as Rodrick and Steve Zahn as the boys’ father.

Rated general with no warning.

Probably the world’s most famous opera, Car-men has had a 3D make-

over and this weekend is your chance to see the Royal Opera House’s presentation like it has never been seen before. It is showing Saturday mor-ning at the Capitol The-atre, West Kelowna, and Saturday and Sunday at the Grand 10 in Kelowna. Check www.landmark-cinemas.ca for show-times.

And the fi nal mov-ie in the Capitol The-atre’s Filmtastic Film Fes-tival shows next Thurs-day at 7 p.m. It is the epic World War II drama The Way Back starring Ed Harris, Colin Farrell and Jim Sturgess and directed by Peter Weir. Details at www.westkelownamov-ies.com.

FOOD &WINE TRAILS

As many wine-makers will tell you, “it takes a

lot of beer to make good wine” and our local wine-makers need not go far because we have a brew-ery just up the road to draw from—Tree Brew-ing.

Located next to Cal-ona Wines in downtown

Kelowna, Tree Brew-ing has been making its award winning handcraft-ed beer since 1996.

To celebrate their 15-year anniversary this year, Tree has introduced a new custom-designed bottle. Brewery president Tod Melnyk says, “We needed to do something that real-ly conveys how different

we are.” This super sleek new

look features an em-bossed Tree Brewing Co. logo and we love that they are fully recyclable and re-useable.

Tree makes its beers in small batches and uses just water, malt, hops and yeast, making them all natural and unpasteurized. With some fun names in their repertoire, they make a wide range of arti-san brews. Choose from Hop Head India Pale Ale, Thirsty Beaver Amber Ale, Cutthroat West Coast Pale Ale, Kelowna Pilsner and Spy Porter. The Rasp-berry Porter is also a spe-cial brew—a dark Eng-lish Style Ale, it exhibits light chocolate tones on the palette with, of course, that zing of raspberry.

Sure to be a hit with the guys this summer, don’t miss the sexy, fun label on the Beach Blonde Lager. New for this spring, this lager is avail-able in six-pack cans. Tree says that it was “brewed exclusively for the hot summers of the Okanag-an” and we found that it made the perfect pairing for beer can chicken.

Tree is now offering a delicious line of food

products too. Enjoy the Stoned Mustard, Blast-ed Barbecue Sauce, Beer Barrel Peach Salsa, Hopped Pepper Jelly and Butter Chicken smok-ies infused with the rich fl avour of the HopHead India Pale Ale. All are made with Tree beer and were created by Okanag-an Specialty Foods.

Pop in to the brewery and load up with a basket full of all of their treats—these will make perfect summer hostess gifts too.

And make sure to in-clude the brewery on your wine tour list this sum-mer. Tree is another lo-cal company to be proud of and great to show off to your guests. They offer kegs for sale too—hello barbecue party!

Also available at the liquor store, but it’s more fun to visit the brewery at 1083 Richter St. Tastings from 11 to 5 daily—call for tour times. www.tree-beer.com.

You can also have

the chance to taste their hoppy wares at the Taste of Kelowna this Sun-day March 27. Pop by my Food & Wine Trails Magazine booth to say hello and pick up a free copy of the new issue. The Okanagan Chefs As-sociation will be sell-ing their calendars at my table, with proceeds going to Japan! See you there.

NEWS

The federal bud-get of 2011, tabled earlier this week,

was designed as a low tax plan aimed at jobs and growth.

It contained target-ed spending measures to-ward those who needed it, while maintaining the necessary fi scal restraint required during tough economic times.

But the Liberal Party, the New Democratic Par-ty and the Bloc Quebe-cois have each said they will not support the bud-get, claiming it is out of touch with ordinary Ca-nadians.

In Kelowna-Lake Country, had the Opposi-tion parties supported it, the 2011 budget would have helped low income seniors and caregivers looking after aging par-ents or disabled family members.

It would have helped small business and local manufacturers create and maintain jobs.

It would have helped homeowners and local contractors through the extension of the Home Energy Retrofi t program to reduce home heating costs.

It would have helped Canadian Armed Forc-es Veterans make the job transition to civil soci-ety and local volunteer fi refi ghters with a much-needed tax break on their expenses.

Our colleges and uni-versity students would have received more breaks on tuition costs and funding for innova-tive research and develop-ment efforts which would

have supported our forest-ry and agriculture sectors.

Local municipalities would have been able to count on more funds tar-geted for community in-frastructure projects and a permanent gas tax fund which would have made long term infrastructure planning possible.

Moreover, the budget would have built on our efforts to protect the fi -nancial security of fam-ilies and individuals in-cluding personal income tax savings of more than $3,000 for the average family of four, a $1,200 per year child care benefi t and pension income split-ting for seniors.

The tabled budget also renewed our commit-ment to eliminate the fed-eral defi cit in three years and to pay down the na-tional debt, while protect-ing critical funding to the provinces for health care and social programs.

Far from being out of touch with ordinary Ca-nadians, the initiatives contained in the budget were the direct result of the pre-budget consulta-tions with ordinary Cana-dians including consulta-tions here in Kelowna and Lake Country.

As with all previous federal budgets under the Conservative govern-ment, you came forward with your priorities and offered sensible, practical solutions to strengthen the economy.

By listening to you, our Conservative govern-ment has delivered a great deal for Kelowna-Lake Country constituents—the Highway 97 expan-sion, a passport offi ce, support for our fruit grow-ers, funding for seniors’ housing and senior com-munity programs, afford-able housing, funding for homelessness and youth at risk, small business support, local green initia-tives, parks and pathways, transit expansion, arts and culture and support for community crime initia-tives like the Organized Crime Task Force.

During the recession, important stimulus fund-ing supported local infra-structure through a three-way federal/provincial/municipal partnership, re-sulting in signifi cant in-vestment in our commu-nity.

Not only did we create

jobs we built roads, bridg-es, water quality systems, and community facilities that will support a thriving local economy for years to come.

Prior to being elect-ed as the MP for Kelow-na-Lake Country, I spent nine years working for the

community as a Kelowna city councillor.

It is that experience that continues to guide me when I am in Ottawa.

As the next election looms, opposing par-ties will try to convince you that the federal gov-ernment has failed you or

that I have failed you.I trust that you will

consider what we have accomplished together and look forward as much as I do to the great future of our communities and the prosperity and success of the Okanagan.

As for me, it is an hon-

our to have been given the opportunity to serve you these past fi ve-plus years.

I hope I can continue to be your Kelowna-Lake Country voice in Ottawa.

Ron Cannan is the Conservative MP for Kel-owna-Lake Country.

LINCOLN’S made-in-Canada 2011 MKX premium mid-size CUV comes with a number of enhancements for 2011 with all-wheel-drive standard.

Jim RobinsonCARGUIDE MAGAZINE

I remember a few years ago asking the president of another do-mestic car company if he could name the six mod-els in the Lincoln lineup and the best he could do was four.

Sadly Lincoln lan-guished for years until Ford, sensing what was coming with the fi s-cal meltdown in 2009, pulled up its corporate socks. That good timing resulted in what we now see as great new offerings like the Fiesta and Focus in the pipeline just as the collapse hit crippling the other domestics.

Helping carry Ford

through the crisis were its two excellent CUVs, the Ford Edge and the Lin-coln MKX.

With Ford now setting sales records and riding high in the esteem of con-sumers comes the 2011 Lincoln MKX with so many improvements, it’s like a whole new model.

Now standard on the MKX is a 3.7-litre V6 with variable valve tim-ing producing 305 hp, 40 more hp than the V6 it re-places while torque is in-creased to 280 lb/ft, 12 per cent more than the out-going V6.

Even with standard all-wheel-drive, which normally saps some fuel economy, Lincoln claims best in segment mileage of

Lincoln MKX excels in all premium CUV facets

▼ ROAD TEST

12.2/8.8L/100 km (19/26 mpg) city/highway.

Ford’s smooth-shift-ing SelectShift six-speed

automatic is standard and allows for manual shift-ing when required for either poor conditions or

towing. With the option-al Class II towing pack-age, the MKX will haul up to 1,588 kg (3,500 lb)

with the added benefi t of Trailer Sway Control built in to the electronic stabil-ity control system which

Ford calls AdvanceTrac.Standard on the MKX,

See Lincoln B2

B2 capital news Friday, March 25, 2011 www.kelownacapnews.com

CARS

AdvanceTrac also incor-porates Roll Stability Con-trol as well for hill start as-sist, anti-lock brakes and tire pressure monitoring.

A safety feature one normally doesn’t think about is Adaptive Cruise Control that Lincolnmakes optional on the MKX.

It lets the driver select one of four gaps between the MKX and the vehicle ahead. At 100 km/h for example, the gaps are 28 meters (sporty driving), 42 or 53 meters (normal driving) and 64 meters (comfort driving). Radar sensors in the grille track the vehicle ahead so when it slows, the MKX slows. When the car ahead picks up speed so does the MKX.

Whether the system is on or not, there is a fall back collision warning with brake support. If the system senses an impend-ing crash, a chime starts sounding and a red light fl ashes on the heads up display.

If you don’t hit the brakes right away, the sys-tem knows it and pressur-izes brake pressure so it will be fully charged when the driver does react.

THERE’S ROOM for fi ve adults in the 2011 Lincoln MKX, with 915 litres (32.3 cu ft) behind the 60/40 split/fold back seat. With the seat down, cargo volume increases to 1,942 litres (68.6 cu ft).

my son from college and bring him home for the weekend. Traffi c was light so I left it on 42 meters ‘normal’ and just sat back. A couple of times I came up to a slower car and the MKX did, indeed, slow.

Nonetheless, I still have trouble giving my full trust to these systems, so I eventually turned it off.

But what I did like on the trip was the option-al Blind Spot Information System (BLIS). On the outside of each exterior mirror is an orange warn-ing light that illuminates each time a vehicle en-ters the blind spot area on either side of the MKX.

BLIS includes an-other goodie called cross-traffi c alert. When back-ing up, the radar sensors somehow can detect a car approaching on either side from as far as 13 me-ters away. If something is coming there is an aud-ible warning along with a message centre alert and a visual display on the cor-responding mirror.

Talk about having your rear covered!

But perhaps the big-gest single feature is the MyLincoln Touch driv-er connection technology that Ford has developed in collaboration with Micro-soft.

The system does away with all the con-trols most of us are used to

like knobs, switches and levers and replaces them with fi ve-way rockers, touch screens and voice activation.

In effect, it turns the car into a kind of giant, rolling smartphone.

For instance, on either side of the analog speedo is a 4.2-inch screen and on each spoke of the steer-ing wheel there is a con-troller that’s a bit like that a cellphone with the cen-tre OK button surrounded by a north/west/east/south rocker.

Each allows the driv-er to see/change anything from climate control to cruise control without looking down or taking

hands off the wheel.Next comes the eight-

inch color touch screen on the centre stack where

the touch or voice activat-ed main controls for en-tertainment, phone, navi-gation and climate are lo-cated.

Below the screen are

tiny buttons the size of a grain of rice for temper-ature and sound. They are more backup as the sys-tem is oriented to the driv-er to use voice and the

touch screen or steering wheel rockers.

I found it at once fas-cinating and frustrating. I tried to work it intuitive-ly and stumbled around a

lot, but then again, it took 90 minutes and a patient Apple Care person to help me to get an iPad to work.

This is a case where the owner is going to have

to sit in the driveway with the manual for a few hours and get it right the fi rst time and then it should work like a charm.

I remember being told some years ago that Lin-coln interior designers and engineers had as their goal being better than Lexus and it shows in the quality of the leather and the way the door trim kisses the in-strument panel when the door is closed.

Extra thick acoustic glass is used on the front windshield and there is a truly oversized shroud over the engine to keep external noise quelled.

Heated and cooled front seats are standard and, for 2011, there are heated outboard seats in the second row. Behind the 60/40 split/fold second row is 915 litres (32.3 cu ft), and with them folded, cargo volume doubles to 1,942 litres (68.6 cu ft).

With optional 20-inch chrome-clad alloy wheels, the MKX offers a seating position literally a step up on a conventional sedan.

It has a base price of $46,500 with options and the $1,450 shipping charge resulted in an as tested price of $54,380 which, considering the

content, is very competi-tive in the premium mid-size CUV segment.

As usual when I drive a vehicle built in Canada (Oakville in this case) I pay special attention to the fi t and fi nish.

I’ve already mentioned the interior but what stood out was the silver metallic paint on the MKX tested here. Try as I might there wasn’t a ripple in the paint and the shut lines on the doors were tight and uni-form.

It is vehicles like the 2011 Lincoln MKX that make everyone in Canada look good.

JIM ROBINSON/CONTRIBUTOR

THE 2011 Buick Regal CXL Turbo, the latest turbocharged addition to the lineup, has refi nement and a 228 hp engine to boot.

Rob BeintemaCARGUIDE MAGAZINE

Let’s say you want to add a European-style sport sedan to your North American lineup.

No sweat. Just go to Europe and get one, right?

That’s pretty well what Buick did when they adapted the Opel Insignia for sales in Canada and the U.S. as the new 2011 Regal.

Actually, I’m not sure if I should make that “adapted” or “adopted” because, basically, all GM did was change the badge-work and substitute a min-imal amount of Buick styl-ing cues, the Buick signa-ture waterfall grille being the most obvious addition to the car.

For the most part, GM designers were smart enough to leave the car alone—no suspension softening, no “sweep spear” styling body chan-ges and no archaic, WWII-inspired “portholes”, thank you very much.

In the old days, North American engineers would have been sorely tempted to tamper with the taut Euro-perform-ance parameters, “dumb-ing them down” in order to placate a passing gen-eration with the old fart fl oat-boats they were ac-customed to.

But Buick is on the hunt for a new generation of customers, the boom-ers and beyond who were raised on imports, who have little in the way of brand allegiances and who are maturing into a marketplace with ever-in-creasing demands of poise and performance.

The award-winning Opel Insignia seems like a pretty good place to start that transformation.

The car was de-veloped in Germany, test-ed and refi ned on the famed Nurburgring prov-ing grounds and it earned 2009 European Car of the Year honours, along with a list of 30-plus presti-gious awards, recogniz-ing the qualities that have made it the best-selling midsize sedan in Europe.

And, wearing the Buick badge, the Regal is one of the reasons why Buick, an American ori-ginal, is now selling more cars in China than at home.

In Canada, the new

Regal came to market in early 2010, quickly achieving critical acclaim as a fi nalist in the Can-adian Automotive Jury’s Best of the Best, while

INSIDE, the 2011 Buick Regal CXL Turbo bolsters European sports sedan styling and quality with top-of-the-line content and amenity levels.

also winning fi rst-place honours in AJAC’s 2011 Best New Family Car (over $30,000) category.

The 2011 Buick Regal was initially launched in upscale CXL trim, priced at $31,990 and loaded with a long list of stan-dards that includes a full suite of six airbags, dual-zone climate control, ABS

disc brakes with brake as-sist, StabiliTrak stability control with traction con-trol, tire pressure mon-itoring, remote keyless entry with power group and heated power exter-ior mirrors, power driver seat, tilt telescopic leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, cruise control, OnStar with six months subscription, Bluetooth phone connec-tivity and a seven-speaker AM/FM/XM system with CD player, MP3 playback and a USB port. There’s more to the list but you get the picture.

The Regal harnesses a 2.4-litre ECOTEC direct injection four-cylinder that makes 182 hp at 6700 rpm and 172 lb/ft of torque, mated to a six-speed auto-matic. While some of us might have to get used to the idea of a four-bang-er in a Buick, that’s ac-ceptable get-up-and-go for a base engine with fuel economy rated at a fairly frugal 10.8/6.5L/100km (city/hwy).

A few months after the CXL intro, General Motors Canada added the CXL Turbo model test-ed here. The CXL Turbo bumps the Regal’s power level with a 2.0-litre turbo-charged ECOTEC dir-ect injection engine that makes 220 hp at 5300 rpm and 258 lb/ft of torque at 2000 rpm.

There’s not a lot of drama to the added power ≠ no boost gauge or sig-nifi cant turbo whine—but the engine grunts forth with nice level of bottom end launch, surging up to speed quickly.

There’s little in the way of a pump penalty for the added power, with a fuel economy rating of 11.5/7.0L/100km (city/hwy) with the six-speed automatic. My com-bined fuel economy aver-age worked out to an ac-ceptable 10.5L/100km. Premium fuel is recom-mended for best perform-ance, but the turbo engine will run just fi ne on regu-lar.

Of course, power without control means nothing, but this is where this Buick’s European bloodline really shows forth.

The car handles with a kind of well-balanced elan that complements the extra oomph. An in-dependent MacPherson strut front suspension with hydraulic ride bushings works in conjunction with

a four-link independent rear suspension.

The sure and stable platform complements a more performance-ori-ented power variable-ef-fort steering system. The overall effect is a taut, con-trolled feel that inspires cornering confi dence.

The CXL Turbo also offers a continuously vari-able damping suspen-sion and Interactive Drive Control System. All four dampers are electronically controlled and continu-ously adapt within milli-seconds to driving condi-tions and/or to chassis set-tings that are adjustable by the driver, with Normal, Tour and Sport settings.

The Buick Regal CXL Turbo starts at $34,990 but, along with the in-crease in horsepower, the $3,000 price premium covers a bump up in the standard amenity level with the upgraded steer-ing system, more power adjustments on the front seats, dual bright exhaust tips, a rear 120-volt house-hold-type power out-let and an ultrasonic rear parking assist system.

All these elements combine in a very profi -cient package, well styled inside and out with above-average quality and con-struction, crafted with a defi nitive Euro-sport fl air and fl avour.

GM’s original plan was to bring the upscale CXL models out fi rst, fol-lowed by the base CX ver-sion later.

That may still be the intent, but for now, Buick’s focus seems to be on two new 2012 mod-els coming this fall, a mild hybrid and a high-output turbo version.

The 2012 RegaleAssist combines the 2.4-litre base engine with hybrid electric power, re-generative braking, auto-matic engine shut-off and fuel cut-off during de-celeration, to promise a thrifty 8.0/5.4L/100km fuel economy rating.

And the 2012 Regal GS, a high-performance sport sedan boasting race-inspired fi ttings, harness-es a high-output version of the Ecotec 2.0-litre tur-bo engine with 255 hp and 295 lb/ft of torque.

Pretty exciting stuff! But I’ll tell you what ex-cites me.

In the very immediate future, you won’t have to go to Europe anymore to

get a great midsize family sports sedan. When you open the door of a 2011 Buick Regal and crouch down, you’ll see a manu-facturer’s plate on the doorpost from Adam Opel GMBH in Germany.

But check that plate a few months from now, on any version of the 2012 Buick Regal, and it will read, “built in Oshawa, Ontario.”

The fi rst 2012 Regals are coming off the Osh-awa assembly line right now and that’s not only good for Canadian in-dustry and for consumers looking for homegrown excellence.

I would suggest it’s a pretty good indicator of Buick’s brighter future as well.

The most important event for the auto industry in B.C. is gearing up for another year as the 2011 Vancouver International Auto Show embarks on its ninth decade of showcas-ing the latest models from the worlds’ leading manu-facturers.

The Vancouver Auto Show began 91 years ago and is the largest trade and consumer event in British Columbia. Attendance at the 2010 Auto Show was over 80,777.

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are at the forefront of this year’s show with several manufacturers showcas-ing their latest production-ready models.

A BC Hydro display will educate show vis-itors on EV technology and how the current infra-structure will evolve to

accommodate the emer-gence of a new genera-tion of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Over the course of the six-day event, tens of thousands of enthusiasts can enjoy an experience designed to be family-friendly with manufacturer showcas-es, special feature vehicles and the latest products and accessories.

The Dream Car Lot-tery returns for a second year with a chance to win a Mercedes Benz SL 550 Convertible worth more than $145,000 and pro-ceeds going to help char-ities across the province, including Special Olym-pics BC.

Vancouver Auto Show in new setting for 2011

Porsche will enter the Nurburgring 24 hour race on June 25 with a further developed version of the Porsche 911 GT3 R Hy-brid.

Priority of the de-velopment was given to the improvement of effi -ciency through the target-ed optimisation of hybrid components, which also resulted in a 20 per cent weight reduction.

Version 2.0 of the 911 GT3 R Hybrid is intend-ed to achieve the same lap times as its predeces-sor but with less fuel con-sumption.

The general layout of the hybrid was adopt-ed from the 2010 mod-el. A portal axle with two electric motors drives the

front wheels and supple-ments the four-litre, de-pending on the balance of performance classifi -cation approximately 470 hp, six-cylinder boxer en-gine at the rear.

The output of both electric motors has in-creased from 60 to 75 kilo-watts each. For seconds at a time, pilots now have al-most an additional 200 hp at their disposal with the 911 GT3 R Hybrid 2.0.

Depending on the pro-gramming, this power is automatically activated through use of the throt-tle pedal. Moreover, pilots can manually call up this extra power, for instance when overtaking.

The electric fl ywheel accumulator, with its rotor

spinning up to 40,000 rpm and storing energy mech-anically as rotational ener-gy, is now housed with the other hybrid compon-ents in a carbon fi bre safe-ty cell on the passenger’s side.

At fi rst glance, the new GT3 R Hybrid is clearly distinguishable from the 2010 model.

Thanks to the optimis-ation of the hybrid sys-tem’s high voltage com-ponents, the large louvres in front of the rear fenders were no longer necessary. This reduces drag and also lowers fuel consumption.

All in all, the weight of the vehicle decreased from 1,350 to 1,300 kilo-grams.

LONG, UNA GEORGIANNA nee Turnbull

Was born to William and Georgianna Turnbull on Feb. 5, 1917 at Bosky Dell Farm in Stockton, Manitoba. She was

the last of six siblings. Una graduated as a registered nurse from Brandon General Hospital in 1940. She adventured west to Nelson, BC to pursue her career at Kootney Lake

Hospital and there she met the love of her life, Harold Richard Long. They were married on May 23, 1942. She

worked in Toronto and New York during the war years. After the war she returned with Harold to Nelson. Una’s fi rst child, Richard (Briana) 1947, was born in Nelson. Una and Harold moved to Kelowna in 1948. Her next three children

were born here: William (Ina) 1949, Georgia 1951 and Trevor (Sandy) 1961. Una’s career in nursing continued as night supervisor at the Kelowna General Hospital until

retiring in 1957. Una was an adoring Grandmother to Aaron (Carly), Nathan (Stephanie), Dustin, Jared, Blake

and Connor. She was a recent proud Great Grandmother to Jetson and Julia. Brett (Betsy), Allisha, Brooklyn, and Brady were close to her heart. Una loved sports and was

active in curling, golfi ng and horse racing. She knew all the Toronto Blue Jays by name and enjoyed watching hockey

with her family and friends. Her keen intelligence was evident in her bridge playing and her ability to recall where

all her extended family were and what they are doing. Una’s home on Poplar Point was a favorite stopping off place for

family and friends. She lived there from when she and Harold built it in 1959 until her passing. Una’s creative side

was expressed in her china painting and managing the “Ink Spots”. She was a devoted friend and will be sadly

missed by all who knew her yet would want all to live life to the fullest as she did. Una’s favorite quote was

“ Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn

out shouting “….Holy Moly… What a ride!”Many heart felt thanks to the nurses who provided caring

support to Una and her family at Kelowna General Hospital. She would like also to thank Dr. Warrender for the many

years of exemplary care provided. A Service of Remembrance will be held at 1:00 PM, March 30, 2011 St. Michael’s and All Angels Anglican

Church, 608 Sutherland Ave. Kelowna, BC.In lieu of fl owers, please make a donation to the charity of your choice in Una’s memory.

VASKO, KATALINA(1933-2011)

Passed away on March 15thsurrounded by her family.

Survived by her 5 children:Chuck Laszlo, Louie & Anna

among them. She was born in Hungry, moved to Australia, and

settled in Canada where shebecame a proud Canadian

citizen. Katalina was an incredibly strong and fi ercely independent

woman (and that’s putting itmildly!) whom many looked up

to. She grew up in Hungry during WWII, moved her family to Canada, fought and survived breast cancer at 70,

conquered other cancers, and on her last day, had enough strength to wake up and tell her family that she loved

them. Katalina was very cheeky and mischievous and made everyone laugh whether she was doing the chicken dance, singing, telling outrageous stories of her youth or threaten-ing new boyfriends with her baseball bat. She was a great

Hungarian cook and made sure that everyone left her house fed whether they were hungry or not! Her soft spot was her

family, especially her grandchildren who she played and had fun with, fed “goodie goodies,” and spoiled rotten any chance she got. She spent many hours outside in her

vegetable garden she planted and with Bear, her best friend/ pet. Her other favourite pastimes were going to the casinos,

being the little birdie on everyone’s shoulder, and gettingangry at the TV when her favourite wrestlers from WWE

were losing. Most of all, she was your best friend, someone to laugh with, your shoulder to cry on, and your support when you needed it. We will miss you and your laughter

very much and will love you forever Anya, Grandma, Hunny Bunny, and dear friend. Service will be held on Saturday,

April 2nd at 11:00am at the Benvoulin Heritage Church 2279 Benvoulin Rd, Kelowna. Following the service, aCelebration of Life will be held at the church hall.

In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made to the Cancer Center for the Southern Interior.
