Lack of funds harms preservation efforts from A1 Funding for heritage restoration from senior governments has completely dried up in recent years, notes Kelowna Coun. Robert Hobson. “We have concerns regarding our heritage sites. There hasn’t been much progress on them,” he admitted. In 2009 gaming grants for heritage restoration suddenly stopped, leaving the Central Okanagan Heritage Society $18,000 in debt because the board had banked on the grant—one they had been receiving annually for 20 years—and the year was nearly over before it was told there would be no grant that year. “That was a key item in our budget,” explained Don Knox, president of the COHS. “We went from having surpluses to a deficit.” The society’s goal is the preservation of our built heritage, and right now the focus is on Benvoulin—largely because the 120-year-old building with the Gothic Revival-style vaulted arches and steeple—needs reroofing, along with some other expensive repairs. The society rescued the building just as it was about to be used for fire practise and rebuilt it with the help of grants from all levels of government, as well as from local businesses and residents and thousands of volunteer hours, more than 30 years ago. Today the idea is that its upkeep is paid for by rental of the facility for

weddings and meetings. The society also owns McIver House which it restored and which is used by caretakers for Benvoulin as it is on the same property. But first the society completed the initial restoration of Guisachan House in the late 1980s, and McDougall House, which was moved to the Guisachan Heritage Park site in 1984, when it was nearly 100 years old. The city owns Guisachan Heritage Park, but the society owns McDougall House, which is located in the park. Guisachan House, the milk shed, Brent’s Grist Mill, the dairy barn and Fleming House in that park, are just five of 19 heritage properties owned by the city, many of which are in pretty good shape and in regular use, but several of which are not. The second priority for restoration, according to Randy Cleveland, director of infrastructure planning for the city, is St. Aidan’s Church in Rutland and third is the Surtees Barn near Bellevue Creek in the Mission. The other city-owned heritage properties are an interesting mix, and include the Ritz Cafe, believed to be the city’s first ‘house of ill repute,’ Cameron House, Knowles House, the tobacco barn on the Thomson farm, Central Elementary, the old Glenn Avenue School, the Memorial Arena, the Water Street Fire Hall, Rotary Centre for the Arts, the Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery

and the Imhoff Tank at the wastewater treatment facility. Four are on the national heritage registry— Brent’s Grist Mill, Central Elementary, Water Street Fire Hall and the Laurel Packinghouse—while Guisachan House is in the process. The city has just finished doing a $2.5-mil-

lion renovation to the Laurel, which houses the B.C. Wine Industry Museum and the Orchard Industry Museum, as well as expensive repairs to Guisachan House after fire did severe damage a few years ago. It received a grant of $1.1 million towards the work on the Laurel from Heritage Canada—the

largest grant ever awarded west of the Rockies, noted Cleveland. He says the city has a conditional assessment on each building and what it would cost for restoration and there will be discussions with the city’s heritage community about what to do next. “Some adaptive re-use is needed so we will look

for people who might be interested in using these buildings. We need partners to move forward, although there is some seed money for joint ventures,” he said. He would not release those estimates for restoration until that report has See Funds A4

Why preserve heritage buildings? The British Columbia heritage branch cites several reasons for the need to preserve heritage buildings: • Makes our province even more attractive: We like to live in well-kept, diverse and sustainable communities and travelers like to visit them. Plus heritage tourists stay longer and spend more. • Helps us breathe easier: By reducing our need to build more, we protect green spaces and farmland. Keeping housing in towns facilitates healthy commuting. Also, by reusing buildings, we produce half the emissions produced by demolition and new construction. • Keeps us happy: When we conserve our heritage it connects us to our past and strengthens our sense of self, our sense of community and our ability to shape our future. • Revitalizes our communities: Turning old buildings into restaurants, shops, and offices generates income and keeps them trendy and fun too. • Keeps the economy booming: Heritage buildings generate jobs during rehabilitation, and draw tourists and commercial activity long afterwards. • Conserves energy and reduces waste: Reusing historic buildings saves the energy used to build it and maintain it, the building material that was less energy exhaustive than today’s building materials, and space in our landfills.

The other criteria are that a property be rare and at risk; accessible to the public; have potential to provide a service; be located inside an existing town centre “so it says something to people’s hearts when they walk by.

DETERIORATION CONCERNS

Knox says he is concerned that some of the city-owned heritage properties are just sitting there, getting older, and deteriorating. “They could get to the point where they’re not usable,” he said. Although the society used to work in partnership with the city on heritage properties, now the city has taken over and everything has to go to tender, which will cost more, he added. “I don’t feel we’re being used to our potential. We feel we could be more of an asset to the city. We would welcome a chance to sit down and work out what our best role is. These assets should be used, like the concerts the society held at Benvoulin Heritage Church prior to Christmas,” Knox said. COHS executive-director Janice Henry says money is the big issue. “We can hardly keep our lights on,” she noted. She estimates $70,000 in repairs on Benvoulin Heritage Church are needed. In order to raise

age programs in B.C. However, where heritage at the municipal level was driven by the province in the 1980s and ’90s, today heritage seems to have lost all its provincial support. “At some point, downhill slides must reach bottom, and we seem to have done that in the past two years. Heritage B.C. lost all of its provincial support a couple of years ago and we are hanging on by the skin of our teeth, which is…not a good long-term strategy,” Goodacre commented. He’s hopeful the downhill slide has reached bottom, but at present, local governments and communities are on their own when it comes to maintaining or restoring heritage properties, he said. “This makes it much tougher for councils and regional boards to meet their commitments to heritage conservation, or take on new ones,” he said. Heritage B.C. is calling on the province to adopt the provincial heritage strategy, restore the heritage branch budget, resolve the Heritage Properties question, restore community support and invest in the Heritage Legacy Fund.

NEWS ▼ CAPOZZI MURDER TRIAL

Paramedic, firefighter testify to condition of accused Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Cameron Capozzi was deemed sober by a paramedic shortly before he was carted off to the police station to face questions about his mother’s untimely death. “(He) had alcohol on his breath but he didn’t appear to be over the line… he appeared normal to me,” testified Sandy McChesney, a former para-

medic on shift with B.C. Ambulance on Aug. 18, 2009, during day two of the Kelowna man’s second degree murder trial. Capozzi, an alcoholic who was allegedly on a bender in the weeks before his mother was found dead in their shared home, jumped through all the diagnostic hoops needed to be taken into police custody that day. “I did an assessment face-to-face,” McChes-

ney said. “I got the police to uncuff him and asked, ‘Will you swing at me?’ and he said, ‘No.’” He then asked if he’d take flight, and Capozzi said “no” again. Blood pressure, glucose and respiration tests were carried out, and they all came up fine. Capozzi answered questions—albeit in a monosyllabic fashion— that indicated to McChesney he understood what

was happening around him, and what was being said. The only oddity that McChesney noted was that Capozzi had defibrillator stickers on his chest, and was wearing an ID bracelet indicating he had been admitted into Vernon Jubilee Hospital two days before. When asked about the reason, Capozzi told McChesney that he’d been “going too fast on a Harley Davidson.” It was a response that

stuck out in McChesney’s mind as unusual, but didn’t alter his decision to recommend against Capozzi’s request to be taken to the hospital rather than the police detachment. That said, others who had dealt with Capozzi in the aftermath of a 911 call that led police to his Young Road home— where Josephine Capozzi, 79, was discovered lying dead clutching a knife— saw a much less coherent version of the accused.

A first responder from the Kelowna Fire Department was called to the scene and dealt with the accused before the paramedics arrived. He testified he spoke abruptly to Capozzi to get his attention, and was unsuccessful. He resorted to a “sternum rub,” which causes a lot of pain and tends to separate those who are faking unconsciousness from those who are really out of it. When Capozzi got his,

he lifted his head slightly and groaned. Police who were on scene before that, noted his behaviour was “strange,” “bizarre” and indicative of someone who drank too much. Once he was in the booking room at the police station, he was heaving and police put a bucket in front of him. He later defecated in the room. Capozzi’s trial is scheduled to carry on for several more weeks. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Public pressure, it would seem, has helped save a popular Kelowna bus route that the city wanted to scrap. During its provision-

al budget review in February, city council voted to eliminate the No. 9 shopper shuttle service that linked downtown to Orchard Park via the Parkinson Recreation Centre. To help pay to expand transit in other areas

of the city, including to the H2O Aquatic Centre in the Mission and in the Quail Ridge area, the city planned to eliminate the shopper shuttle route and the Saturday service for the No. 12 McCulloch route and cut some little

used early morning and late night runs on other routes. But now the city has had a change of heart and staff are now recommending a new version of the No. 9 route along with Saturday service on the No. 12 McCulloch route in southeast Kelowna. “After careful consideration, staff feel it would be beneficial to maintain some service on (the No. 9) route to allow either easy access to major shopping outlets or easy transfer to other transit routes,” the city’s regional programs manager Jerry Dombrowsky said in a report going to council Monday. The new route would connect downtown (Queensway) with Orchard Park Shopping Centre four times per day, seven days per week, with hourly service between 11:40 p.m. and 2:40 p.m. The buses on the route would continue to stop in front of Parkinson Recreation Centre. While buses on the No. 10 North Rutland route provide a more frequent, parallel service, with stops near the No. 9 stops, it uses only main streets—such as Bernard Avenue, Spall Road and Enterprise Way—while the No. 9 operates on residential and secondary roads and is considered more accessible for many people including seniors.

Hobson: IHA’s water test sample request not city’s responsibility A proposal to change the way water testing is done at public beaches in the Central and South Okanagan has at least one Kelowna city councillor concerned about the prospect of downloading. Robert Hobson, who is also chairman of the Central Okanagan Regional District, told council Monday he wants to see Interior Health continue to collect and test water samples taken from local beaches. “I think it’s important that (testing) be done,” said Hobson, adding it is a job that is clearly the responsibility of the health authority. “I don’t feel that the IHA should be downloading something they have made clear in the past is provincial jurisdiction, onto local government.” But Dan Ferguson, IHA’s assistant director of health protection, said the only change being asked for is that the municipality collect the water samples. The Interior Health

Authority would continue to pay for the testing and will post the results on its website. Kelowna, as well Peachland, Summerland, Penticton, West Kelowna and Lake Country are being asked to collect the samples as IHA does not have the money to pay for collection. Ferguson said the main reason for the change is to bring what happens herein line with the rest of the health authority area. Everywhere other than the South and Central Okanagan, municipalities collect the water samples to be tested. Hobson raised the issue at Monday’s council meeting, saying he hoped his fellow municipal colleagues would “pile on” and oppose the sample collection requirement. Ferguson said of the six Okanagan communities that do not currently collect water samples for testing, four have agreed to start doing so—West Kelowna, Lake Country, Penticton and Summerland.

Garbage truck operators not happy with cab camera Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Big brother is watching. Drivers who operate the trucks that pick up garbage, recycling and yard waste throughout the Central Okanagan are irate over a decision by the company that employs them to install a camera in the cab of one truck to watch the driver. According to drivers’ representative Andrew Shepherd, the camera—a test prior to potentially installing more cameras— was discovered attached to the windshield of an OK Environmental Waste Systems garbage truck Thursday morning. He said there had been no discussion between the company and the drivers before the installation.

OK Environmental Waste Systems drivers are not represented by a union. “It was quite a shock,” said Shepherd, one of 30 drivers employed by the company that currently has contracts with all Central Okanagan municipalities to pick up residential garbage, recycling and yard waste. “I find it intrusive,” said Shepherd, adding the camera also blocks part of the driver’s view out of the front window. Company’s operations supervisor R.J. Fajna would not comment on the installation of the camera other than to say the company is testing several safety features. He referred all enquiries to company owner Lance Shaw, who he said was out of the country for

pen to the images that are recorded by the camera and how they will be used—who will see them, how long they will be kept and where they will be stored. He said some drivers, on their breaks and during lunch, do things such as mobile banking on laptop computers and mobile phones while sitting in the cab of their trucks. The camera is located

so close, passwords could be read and recorded. “This camera is about 18 inches from the driver’s face,” he said. Because the local garbage, recycling and garden waste pick-up system is automated, there is just one person in a truck during collection rounds— the driver. Under direction from the regional waste management office, the company recently installed cameras on the outside of its trucks to monitor what residents put in their curb-

side waste containers. But Peter Rotheisler, with CORD’s regional waste management office, said the in-cab camera to watch the driver was not something his office knew about or required. He said the installation was an internal company operations decision. In the past, privacy in the work place has become an issue for both provincial privacy commissioners and the courts in Canada. But while secret video recordings of workers

Duo form songwriting relationship Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

There’s no time like reading week for a tour, so when Kate Morgan and James Struthers hit town next week it should be a “uni” reunion to remember—even if Kate has yet to hit college. Originally from Winnipeg, Struthers spent the better part of his songwriting and performing years attending UBCO, where snowboarding and playing The Well Pub did great things for his music, though little for his academic career. Now back at the University of Manitoba, where there’s less distraction to prevent him from finishing up his psychology degree, he’s decided to spend Reading Week in his old haunt, bringing new friend Morgan, along for the ride. “I have an extensive group of friends out there and they come to every show in full force,” said Struthers, noting most of the people he expects will be lifelong friends he met in university. Kelowna was also his home when he fell in love for the first time, a pretty critical part of his artistic development. Morgan and Struthers share a love of writing about the more amorous side of life and say their music is accessible to a wider audience because they focus on a universal subject matter. “I don’t know that relationships become any less important as you age, but the shape and form of them definitely change,” said Struthers. He and Morgan foraged a quick songwriting relationship themselves over the summer after deciding to tour together on a lark. Writing songs en route to gigs, like the Squamish Live (Festival), they wound up creating a joint project, James and Kate, and perform the collaborative work after their solo acts when touring. “Every waking moment we would be firing off different song lyrics, trying to build on different ideas and sentiments,” said Morgan, admitting it was a pretty amazing way to spent the summer. Though only 18 years old, Morgan has already participated in Lilith Fair, though travelling with Struthers marked her first touring experience. “It was fantastic. I don’t know if I consider myself a spontaneous person, so it was a lit-

tle bit scary at first to just jump in on his tour, but it worked out really well,” she said. “It would be hard not to get along when you get together with somebody whose equally passionate about their craft as you are though,” she added. Both claim they’re aiming for a career in music, with Struthers saying he’s hoping the psychology degree will help him hone his people skills, while his management minor provides a backdrop for the marketing and organizational skills needed to make it in the increasingly diverse music industry diaspora. No matter what happens from this point forward, the pair seem to

have one thing down— they understand that human need for relationships. Interviewed on Valentine’s Day, Morgan offered up a humorously acidic take on the day of love that matches the “love and lack thereof” theme of her music. “I call it Singles Awareness Day,” she said, with all the angst needed to revel in her age. Morgan began playing at age14 and started performing in front of audiences almost immediately, whereas Struthers, now 23, really didn’t get going until university—his first shows were largely covers of others’ songs he would trot out at The Well Pub. “I played a lot of ’90s

hits and Heartbreak Hotel, a lot of Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus, and other stuff off Big Shiny Tunes,” he said with an embarrassed giggle. Originally coming out of Kamloops, Morgan said she has always been a romance songbird. “I truly am very fascinated with how people treat each other in romantic relationships. I guess it’s just my thing,” she said. Morgan lays claim to sharing the stage with Sarah McLachlan and Sheryl Crow as the youngest headline performer to ever play Lilith Fair. She has also performed at the Grey Cup Festival and 2010 Olympic Games and opened for The Sheepdogs, K’naan and Fefe Dobson. Struthers is coming off a big hit with Blue Christmas. The single slid into the top 10 on the national adult contemporary charts this past December. Struthers and Morgan will play the Minstrel Café on Tuesday, Feb. 21, 8 p.m. There is a $5 cover charge.

letter of the week

Whole province afloat on a sea of natural gas

remier Christy Clark’s recent fanfare about developing a natural gas export industry in northern B.C. included a major change in electricity policy. Last year Clark’s government forced BC Hydro to trim its operations and keep its next two annual rate increases below four per cent. Part of the savings will come from redefining former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate strategy, which required BC Hydro to be self-sufficient in even lowwater years, with no net electricity imports. The target is now self-sufficiency in average-water years, limiting expansion of independent power projects. It also means B.C. will import more gasfired electricity in the coming years, and burn some of its own abundant gas to generate new power up north. North America finds itself floating on a sea of

shale gas. Campbell’s plan entailed using B.C.’s big dams to stabilize and store power from new intermittent sources of hydro and wind, building the Site C dam on the Peace River and exporting clean energy at a premium in a carbon-priced North American market. Both the carbon market and the export market have evaporated. While B.C. was developing run-of-river to sell to California, the U.S. west coast built new capacity, much of it gas fired, after an electricity crisis that caused brownouts more than a decade ago. Today, Washington state producers are actually paying BC Hydro to take their excess power because they need to move it into the grid, and B.C. is the only place that can store it using dam

VICTORIAcapacity. VIEWS NDP energy critic John

Horgan is celebrating this change in BC Hydro policy. He says the government made a multi-billion-dollar miscalculation by assumToming California’s electricity Fletchershortage would continue indefinitely, and surplus power would be profitable. He says independent power contracts are part of BC Hydro’s current financial problems, but political interference in planning is the bigger issue. Horgan would not endorse the Wilderness Committee’s call to cancel electricity purchase contracts BC Hydro has signed for more run-of-river developments. Additional projects are planned for the Upper Lillooet, Upper Toba and Harrison Rivers in southern B.C., and the Kokish River on northern

Vancouver Island. Most are aboriginal partnerships. Energy Minister Rich Coleman told me no contracts will be cancelled, and he rejected my suggestion that BC Hydro could end up with too much power in the wrong places and at the wrong time of year. BC Hydro can move power around as well as store it, and that ability will improve when the smart grid is completed. Independent power doesn’t end there. It shifts to northern B.C., where three liquefied natural gas projects will need output equivalent to two and a half Site C dams to operate. Coleman confirmed that at least one modern gas-fired power plant will be needed to develop LNG, which is expected to be in business before Site See Fletcher A11

Comments on Kangaroo farm Re: Kangaroo farm to open its doors to Okanagan residents this spring, Feb. 10 Capital News.

To the editor: Poor kangas being used to entertain humans. Where is this place? Kangaroos should not be taken from Australia to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;transportedâ&#x20AC;? away from their homeland. Also, when we use the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;kangaroo farmâ&#x20AC;? it leads people to think that kangaroos are able to be farmed as meat. Pamela Hayes To the editor: I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for the day when humans are put into zoos and the like and all the animals can stand around staring at us. Kangaroos belong in Australia and nowhere else. Sylvia Raye

To the editor: Who are we to criticize a person who is actually taking care of our kangaroos, when in the country of their origin they are treated as pests, slaughtered for the skin, meat and so red-necks can get their rocks off. Caroline MacPherson came upon these kangaroos by accident and has given them a good life. Re the comments that kangaroos belong in Australia and so on. Lions, tigers and a myriad of other animals are in zoos. They should also be roaming free on their own continent but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not and there are far more of them held in captivity than there are kangaroos. Lets be grateful that the one thing the Australian government has got right is to restrict export of our wildlife. I really think we should clean our own house before we tell others what to do.

COMMENTS FROM kelownacapnews.com

To the editor: Kangaroos are meant to roam wide spreads of land, not be confined to small farms. I have read that in the U.S. they are taking kangaroos out of the pouch at young ages to hand raise them. This can lead to health issues from malnutrition. Even in Australia, people are not allowed to keep kangaroos or wallabys as pets,. The people who do rehab must have qualifications and licences. Kim Campbell

Cienwen Hickey Luton, England

To the editor: Cienwen, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right about exotic animals. They should all be in their own countries where they get the right food and environment for their needs, which they evolved to suit. I very much appreciate those who care for them but they should never have been taken from their homeland in the first place. Pamela Hayes

Funding for one of the two pain clinics on Vancouver Island should come to Kelowna To the editor: There have been many letters to the editor, the Interior Health Authority and MLAs concerning the lack of a properly equipped and rstaffed chronic pain clinic to serve the Interior of B.C., and the Kootenays. There are many people suffering from chronic pain which keeps them from working and paying their share of taxes or enjoying their retirement. I read about the new Centennial and East Pandosy Buildings at Kelowna General Hospital, which are set to open May 27. (Tower Swipe Card Activated, Jan. 27 Capital News.) In a column by Norm Letnick, the MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country and chairman of the Select Standing Committee on Health for

British Columbia, there is no mention of a chronic pain clinic for this area. I have done some research into pain clinics in B.C. and have found there is one in Vancouver and two on Vancouver Island, in Nanaimo and Victoria. The distance between the two on the island is 110 km. Patients from Kelowna have to travel 400 km to Vancouver. Patients from Fernie have to travel 12 hours and 1,070 km to get to a clinic in Vancouver. Since Dr. K. Muendel left to take a position on Vancouver Island, Dr. S. Jefferys remains to take care of the long list of patients waiting for pain relief. There is no need for two clinics on Vancouver Island. The proper thing for the B.C. government to do is lift the funding from one

Gas-fired power plants on way C could be built. That fpowerhouse will likely be built by the LNG developers, and used to back up new intermittent sources of offshore and landbased wind and any river or geothermal sites available along a new northwest power line.

of the clinics on Vancouver Island and move it to Kelowna, or are these two clinics for the pleasure of the politicians in Victoria? Hmm. Better yet, the $3.4-million funding clawback from IHA for not meeting the target of dealing with 90 per cent of knee and hip surgeries within 26 weeks and 90 per cent of cataract surgeries within 16 weeks would more than cover a new chronic pain clinic for the new hospital building. Another very important reason for a clinic in Kelowna is to enhance the care given to patients in the Cancer Clinic adjacent to KGH.

B.C. will likely have a second gas-fired power plant in the northeast corner, to supply the Horn River shale gas development and processing plant now underway. Coleman says that plant should be able to capture carbon dioxide and sequester it deep underground. Fort Nelson and points north

will remain off the BC Hydro grid. Even with carbon capture in the northeast, Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greenhouse gas targets look to be the next part of his legacy to be abandoned. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Dan Werry to the Food and Beverage Team.

He was raised in Kelowna and discovered his love for cooking at a very young age. He was inspired to study the art of cooking at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology in the Culinary Arts Professional Cooking Program. His passion for food and desire to further his training lead him to Banff, Alberta, where he gained 16 years of experience working as chef de partie and sous chef, for The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. In addition, Dan was given the opportunity to travel and gain even more experience taking him to The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, in Arizona, and The Fairmont San Francisco, in California. Providing Dan with the opportunity to return to the Okanagan where it all began for him, his decision to join The Harvest was an easy one. Using “good, local, fresh, simple food” Dan is looking forward with great anticipation to express his passion and experience through his menu. He feels very privileged to be doing what he loves and believes that his food is a solid interpretation of who he is.

The Canadian Disaster Animal Response Team is looking for more team players. On Saturday, CDART is offering a training course called Introduction to Emergency Pet Services, which will take place at Kelowna Fire Station No. 1 (2255 Enterprise Way) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The introductory course will explain and work through the administrative part of emergency animal rescue procedure and protocol when a disaster strikes or when emergencies happen. It will involve group exercises, anecdotes of real experience in responding to disasters and each participant will be provided with a detailed course workbook to keep. Deborah Silk will be leading Saturday’s course. She said that it is CDART’s goal to double its volunteer base in the Okanagan, especially because 2012 could be a very dry summer. “This year we’re looking at bringing on another 80 (volunteers),” said Silk. Silk noted that those interested must be willing to be a team player. “You have to be able to work well with other people. A lot of animal people can’t do that, sadly. You have to do as you’re told. It’s not time to argue with

your supervisor during an emergency… safety is our number one priority. Safety of our volunteers and then the safety of the animals. The RCMP have zero tolerance for people who just want to be their own heroes.” Silk mentioned that a lot of what CDART does involves “hurrying up and waiting,” which can be frustrating for those who are eager to save animals. “It’s extremely frustrating for animal people, but they have to be able to respect the incident command and know that there is a reason for everything.” According to Silk, a big part of the job is doing paperwork; however, they may also be possibilities for those who are interested in working on the front lines. “The people who we put out into search and response—who are actually going to do evacuations under the line of fire—have to have some qualifications. It’s usually people who work with animal control.” Silk said the introductory course gives potential volunteers a clear understanding of incident command and how they will fit in with other groups in order to be a responder. The course costs $35 and students should bring a lunch. For more information, or to register, contact Deborah Silk at 250-493-9752; deborah.silk@cdart.org.

This week’s big discovery, for thing stalking me. It’s a brass bowl example, is that the table’s edge is repositioned in the same space as not in fact a line. last week, with the same reflective Obvious really, but if you put a surface picking up every curve of white table cloth on a round table, the antler in front of it.

Last week, I had antlers object; nor does the white table coming out of Buddha heads and cloth actually appear white with all all manner of wackiness breaking the shapes and shadows. down on my page.

And just like those Robax caricatures, I soon find it’s quite possible to get this relief (sorry, pun intended) once you lighten up. Figuring my sketch is likely to look wildly wrong anyway, I launch into these shadows, hammering the dark points and deftly procuring light creases onto the page in a process that turns out to be pretty relax. I work over the drawing for almost the full three hours of the class. When we switch to the next assignment, I continue shading my dreaded bowl and table, thoroughly impressed with my linen folds, if still a little appalled at the shiny vessel in the middle. When my time is up, I’m shocked to find, I want to return to the exercise next week. I take it back to the office and pull it out to see how that brass bowl could be improved. There’s a strange note I’ve written at the base of the drawing. “From shadow and light to catharsis,” it says. I’m in the habit of making notes of the odd piece of dialogue that fly about the room for this column, so I’m assuming at some point this was said. Positioned in the lower right corner, where one might expect to find a signature, I figure it’s a good name for my first completed work. As perfectly imperfect as it may be.

Dragon’s Den producers on the hunt for new entrepreneurs Producers of the Canadian TV series Dragon’s Den will be in the Okanagan by month’s end, scouting for telegenic business talent. The Kelowna pit-stop is part of nationwide hunt for a new crop of entrepreneurs willing to face the Dragons in a bid to score

some high-powered financial backing for their business ventures. The stakes are even higher this year, as Dragon’s Den and Shell Canada have partnered for a special “future now” energy innovation episode airing June 3, 2012. Three finalists will

pitch their energy innovations to the Dragons, and the winning pitch will receive $100,000 from Shell Canada to help make their idea a reality. Producers have also pointed out that age is no barrier and young entrepreneurs who think they have the money-making chops to take on the savviest business tycoons in the country, may be featured

in an all students special. This time last year, Kelowna business woman Kim Williams was getting a chance to see how her bid for the Dragons’ financial backing played out on national TV. She sailed through the audition process, then went to Toronto in search of $100,000, which she was willing to exchange for 40 per cent of her busi-

ness, Wild Kingdom. “It was a unique experience and I was pleased with myself,” she told the Capital News last year. “I arrived at 6:30 a.m. in my business suit, with my products in tow, and the producer helped me with everything, and they treated me really great.” Williams recalled there was a lot of “back and forth” between her and

the judges, as they tried to suss out what made Wild Kingdom any more franchise-worthy than other stores, but she said she held her ground. “You really have to go there and know what you’re talking about…I studied for months and I know everything about every Dragon and I went in there with the numbers,” she said, referring

to how she made her business case. Open auditions are coming to Kelowna on Thursday, Feb. 23, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., at the Okanagan College campus school of business. Additional tour dates from coast to coast are listed online at www.cbc. ca/dragonsden/auditionsDragons’ Den producers headed to Kelowna.

SPORTS ▼ NATIONAL CURLING TITLE

Two-time champ relaxed for Scotties Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Expect the most relaxed version yet of the Kelly Scott rink to take to the ice this weekend in Red Deer at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The experience and wisdom gained from six previous trips to the Canadian women’s curling championship—and adding second and vice-skip Dailene Sivertson this season—has helped the Scott team put the game into a new perspective. “This year had been a big year of adjustment for us with a new player, but it’s been mostly about making sure we’re having fun out there,” said Scott, who won the national title in 2006 and 2007. “It’s exciting for Dailene who has never been before and we’re really excited for her. “We’re pleased with our success in past years,” Scott said, “but we feel we

don’t have to prove ourselves anymore, we can just go out and play without pressure. We’ll go play our hearts out, enjoy it, and see what happens. We’re loose, and in a really good head space.” It was the same placid approach that helped the Scott team win its third straight B.C. women’s title late last month in North Vancouver. Along with the addition of Sivertson, a former B.C. junior champ, the Scott team made another significant move this season with the departure of Jeanna Schraeder. After a decade of throwing second rocks, Scott’s longtime teammate, Sasha Carter, moved into the third slot. “Any time you have a new third, it’s big adjustment, you have heavy shoes to wear in supporting the skip,” said Scott, whose rink also features lead Jacquie Armstrong. “Seeing Sasha’s

Alberta’s Heather Nedohin. “There are lots of familiar faces,” said Scott, who lost a tiebreaker to Smith-Dacey at last year’s nationals in PEI. “Last year at Scotties there was a bit of a youth movement, some of those teams are back, so there’s a pretty good blend of younger teams and experienced

teams. That always makes it exciting.” The fifth-player for the Scott team is Sherry Fraser, while their coach is Gerry Richard. The B.C. champs open play Saturday in Red Deer against Quebec’s MarieFrance Larouche. j whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

Veterans Lyon, Astles return to Rockets Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

A depleted Kelowna Rockets lineup will get a shot in the arm as a pair of veteran forwards are expected to return for Friday night’s home encounter with the Calgary Hitmen. Brett Lyon, 20, will be back after serving a six-game suspension, while Jessey Astles, 18, is expected to return after sitting out the last 18 games with an upper-body injury. As much as the two players will be welcomed back, the coaching staff said the Rockets simply need to be better if they intend on halting their five-game losing streak. “When you have a 20- and an 18-year-old back in the lineup it certainly helps,” said Rock-

ets assistant coach Dan Lambert. “But at the end of the day, no matter who’s in the lineup you have to compete. Just because those guys are back, it doesn’t mean we can just throw our jerseys out there and expect it to go our way. We need everyone going and competing if we’re going to have success.” With six regulars on the sidelines and a season-high six 16-year-old players in the lineup on Wednesday night at Prospera Place, the Rockets dropped a 6-3 decision to the Eastern Confer-

ence-leading Edmonton Oil Kings. Leading 2-1 in the second period, the Rockets had a goal disallowed, then followed up the misfortune by taking several undisciplined penalties. The Oil Kings tacked on five more goals, including four on the power play. Lambert said the Rockets showed both their youth and a lack of composure. “I think it’s always a challenge when you have young players, you’re not quite sure how they’re going to react to certain situations,” said Lambert. “As soon as we got that goal called back, instead of having a two-goal lead we took some bad penalties and we completely lost our momentum. It took the wind out of our sails. I’m not downing our younger guys, it’s just the way they respond sometimes. When you have a bit of

an older group, they maybe respond a little better to that.” From a Kelowna perspective, the highlight of the game was Zack Franko’s first career hattrick. The Winnipeg native scored on a penalty shot and twice on the power play and now has 11 goals on the season. As for the Hitmen Friday, Lambert said the Rockets will need a complete effort against a team which has won 17 of its last 22 games. “They’re an older team that’s been playing very well. We need to make sure we come with a 60-minute effort from everybody, not just a handful of guys. When you have injuries like we do, you need everybody else to step up.” The Rockets will host the Red Deer Rebels Saturday in a 7 p.m. start.

Ok Rockets visit NE Chiefs in Coquitlam The Okanagan Rockets continue their push towards clinching a B.C. Major Midget League playoff berth this weekend when they visit the Vancouver Northeast Chiefs. The teams will meet on Saturday and Sunday at Planet Ice in Coquitlam. r The Rockets (16-10-8) are fifth in the BCMML, just two points back of the Chiefs (19-11-4-2) and Greater Vancouver Canadians for third, and four points up on fifth-place North Island. A win would all but lock up a berth for the Rockets who are also seven points in front of Fraser Valley and the Valley West Hawks. Okanagan is coming off a three-point weekend at home against the South Island Thunderbirds. On Saturday, Mitchell Cook scored two goals and added three assists in an 11-1 Rockets win. Cortlan Procter, Justin Marreck and Colton Thibault each scored twice. “Our 17-year-old players were as good as they have been in a while,” said Rockets assistant coach Brady Mason who was behind the the bench with general manager David Michaud for the second consecutive game as head coach James Eccles continued to serve his threegame suspension. “Our tolder guys have been challenged and I think they responded. Top to bottom this was a great team effort.” On Sunday, South Island goalie Nick Reynard stopped 49 shots to help the Thunderbirds earn a 2-2 tie with Okanagan. Josh Ellis with his second in as many games, and Branden Wagner scored for the Rockets.

to pry the Olympic qualifying berth away from top contending countries such as India and South Africa. Still, with the vast

improvement Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program has shown over the last 12 months or so, Dani Hennig believes anything is possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our team has really become cohesive as a unit and we have a lot of confidence in each other,â&#x20AC;? said Hennig, who has 32 caps over two seasons with Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve improved so much, 100 per cent over the last year. All the teams will be a challenge. But if we play our best, then we think we have a good chance.â&#x20AC;? Natalie Sourisseau agrees with the assessment that the Canadian team continues to improve with every match. The disappointment of a fourth-place showing at the Pan American Games late last year in Mexico simply serves as motivation for Sourisseau and her teammates.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every competition is a learning experience and even though that one didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go our way, I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a better team because of it,â&#x20AC;? said Sourisseau, a veteran of 19 caps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helped us figure some things out, to see what we need to do better. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be ready to play.â&#x20AC;? After Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opener against Italy, the Canadians will play India on Tuesday, Ukraine next Thursday, Poland on Feb. 22 and South Africa on Feb. 24. The top two teams from the round robin will meet in the final, with the winner earning a trip to 2012 Olympic Games in London.

Games fosters memories Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

It was eight years ago this month in Port Alberni that Jesse Jakins made her first and only appearance as an athlete at the B.C. Winter Games. Safe to say, it was an experience the former competitive gymnast from Kelowna will never forget. “It was so much fun that first time, a real adventure for a lot of us,” said Jakins. “I remember busing overnight, riding the ferry, I have a favourite picture of us on the ferry with the wind blowing in our faces. “There’s also the people you meet,” added Jakins, “the atmosphere of the games…it was a wonderful experience.” So imagining what several young Kelowna athletes will be feeling later this month when they travel to Vernon for the 2012 B.C. Winter Games won’t be much of a stretch for Jakins. The 20-year-old Jakins is serving as head coach of the Thompson Okanagan zone team and will be taking four competitors from the Okanagan Gymnastics Centre along with her to compete: Brooke Murray, Hannah Butcher, Jenna Mick and Grace Fecht— all ranging in age from 10- to 12-years old. After months of preparation, Jakins is excited for her young athletes as they take to the

Winter Games stage for the first time. “This is great for younger athletes, a possible stepping stone for them to one day compete for Team B.C.,” said Jakins who made it on to Team B.C. in 2005. “My girls have worked very hard and have prepared very well. I want them to do their very best, have fun and enjoy the adventure. It should be a very positive experience for them.” As for Jakins, her passion for the sport hasn’t waned one bit since she first began taking classes at OGC as a three-yearold. “It’s so fulfilling to go

to work every day,” Jakins said. “When I work with these girls, I feel like I’ve achieved something. I think ‘I taught a kid to do a double backflip and she’s only 10’. “My ultimate goal is to help my athletes keep the passion, just like I’ve been able to do.” Local coach Norihiko Horie and his athlete, Shane Hiscock, will also make the trip to Vernon for the Games, as will the OGC’s Richelle Casavant, who will work as a judge.

Last weekend, Kelowna needed a dramatic overtime marker from Cassie Strymecki in the second overtime period to oust Kamloops from the playoffs. After a shot from the blueline by Jenny Kenny, Strymecki buried the winning goal giving Kelowna a two games to nothing series win over Kamloops and setting up the matchup with Salmon Arm. Ashley Mak also scored for Kelowna in the 2-1 victory. In game one of the series on Saturday in Kamloops, Kelowna trailed

3-2 heading to the third period before pouring on the offense. Naomi Yamaoka tied the game at 3-3 before Kennedy Kneller scored the winning goal and Alana Attew added the insurance marker in a 5-3 win. Also scoring for the Rockets were Mak and Jade Banman. Kirsten Wiltshire earned both wins in the Kelowna nets. The Rockets and Salmon Arm start their final playoff series Sunday in Salmon Arm while the midget female provincials takes place in Salmon Arm March 18 to 23.

Stellar covers of Dylan mark Amnesty International’s 50th CHIMES OF FREEDOM: THE SONGS OF BOB DYLAN, HONOURING 50 YEARS OF AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL (FONTANA)

and the egalitarian Amnesty International. Probably no other songwriter on the planet has been covered by other artists more than Dylan. Some, such as The Byrds, The Hollies, McGuiness Flint, Odetta, all released albums dedicated only to Dylan songs while there are many Dylan trib-

ute albums already released. It would be very easy to compile the best and better of these already existing tunes for a collection like Amnesty International’s celebration but such is not the case here. Everyone of the renditions here are from brand new recordings that feature mega stars, as well as a few lesser known recording artists. This collection also comes as a two-disc set but fans will want to spring for the full fourCD set as the covers here are almost always uniformly strong—not forgetting that all proceeds go to the charitable organization Amnesty International. I have only heard the two-disc set so far, yet there are still too many highlights to mention just from this truncated version which has the mellower tunes made for great coffee house listening (as a lot of this version is sold in Starbucks). One of the best tracks here is one of the few rockers with Patti Smith’s jangly rock guitar-driven Drifter’s Escape that

should become a hit from this anthology. Canada’s K’NAAN offers a trippy folk-hop version of the topical With God On Our Side, while Maroon 5 offer a deluxe take of I Shall Be Released that beautifully channels 1970s The Band (the great group that Dylan often collaborated with). Other fine tunes come from Mark Knopfler, Steve Earle, Seal w/ Jeff Beck, Ziggy Marley, Diana Krall, My Morning Jacket, Johnny Cash, Adele and too many more to list. The only weak track of the 35 songs on the two-disc set is by Sting who sounds effete and overly precious on Girl From The North Country. But this collection cries out to be bought in the four-disc compilation that will go even further to help the great work done by Amnesty International. A

THE FRAY: SCARS & STORIES (EPIC)

The Fray are shaping up to be just a minor player on the rock scene. With this third studio album the groups limitations are all too evident with songs that just do not stick with you the way their signature and debut hit did, titled How To Save A Life.

Scars & Stories has made its debut in the top 10 album sales chart but their single, Heartbeat,isn’t igniting the airwaves and is at the lowest end of the charts. The group hired ace producer Brendan O’Brien who puts a professional sheen on these wouldbe arena ballads and U2 meets Coldplay mid-tempo rockers, but again the melodies are weak and the hooks are blunt. The Fray try a little psychedelia with backwards guitar on The Wind and a hint of funk rock on Turn Me On, but none of these demand repeated hearings. Confirmed fans may find something to appreciate here but I don’t which had me thinking about the double mean-

ing of the group’s name The Fray. That is, to enter the fight or unravel and it seems more so the latter. C

CELTIC WOMAN: BELIEVE (MANHATTAN/EMI)

Celtic music, to the legions of fans around the world, is best enjoyed at the kitchen party but the producer and main man behind Celtic Woman, David Downes is trying to franchise the genre for big bucks. His are big, blowsy, cinematic productions with several singers, musicians and dancers— sorta like a generic version of Cirque de Soleil— in an ersatz Celtic style. See Mitchell A29

sexless versions of traditional tunes such as The Foxhunter, The Water Is Wide, Black Is The Color (Of My True Love’s Hair), Ave Maria, etc., but Downes also offers his mediocre songs that aren’t up to par probably just to gather more royalty cheques. Meanwhile, what

That is why the ‘act’ is called Celtic Woman instead of Celtic Women as Downes can hire, fire and substitute generic role players for his extravaganza without anyone really noticing or caring. It is true the choral aspect here offers sweet and

dyed-in-the-wool Celtic lass would not want to sing Chris DeBurgh’s A Spaceman Came Travelling? And the album title, Believe, is trying to believe in what? I suppose the quasi-spirituality implied in Paul Simon’s Bridge Over Troubled Water and the anthemic

Rogers and Hammerstein show tune You’ll Never Walk Alone provide the pinch of new age romanticism that is part of the mix and fantasy. I prefer Celtic music with less farce and more authenticity. Cmooseman19@telus.net

WESTSIDE â&#x2013;ź MENTAL HEALTH

Better access to psychiatric services in Okanagan needed

f you have tried to get a referral to see a psychiatrist in recent years, you may not be surprised to learn that it can be difficult. In our region there are currently no psychiatrists accepting new patients while the wait time for an appointment is typically greater than six months. Across Canada, access to psychiatric services is proving to be an issue of concern. The most recent National Physician Survey had most Canadian family physicians rating access to psychiatrists as poorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;worse than all other specialists addressed in that survey. Last year, a study published in the Canadian Journal of Psychiatry showed that this problem of access is indeed a problem in a B.C. urban setting. In this study, an adult male patient with depression was referred for psychiatric assessment by a family physician. Calls were made to almost 300

HEALING MINDS

Paul Latimer psychiatrists in Vancouver to determine wait times and availability for this kind of referral. The results of this attempt show a system in need of serious change if we are to provide required services to the population. Of the 297 psychiatrists who were called, the researchers successfully contacted 230â&#x20AC;&#x201D;and 70 per cent of those contacted indicated they were unable to accept the referral. The remaining 30 per cent who would consider the referral could not give estimates of their wait times and required detailed written referral information before accepting the patient. Only six psychiatrists offered immediate ap-

pointment times with wait times ranging from four to 55 days. With this information, researchers concluded that substantial barriers exist for family physicians attempting to refer patients for psychiatric help. They recommend efforts to consolidate and improve access to psychiatric assessment. Since family physicians are in short supply, they are often extremely busy and may not have the time to do an exhaustive search such as this for the best psychiatric access. More and more, patients need to be proactive and do their own legwork in this regard.

Recreation Trails Plan input opportunity

Erin Cebula, BC Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital Spokesperson

The District of West Kelowna is seeking input regarding the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Recreational Trails Plan. The plan will include a vision and a needs assessment; trail classifications and standards; a trail system plan; management strategies; and, recommended action items that district council can consider implementing over the short (typically within five years), medium (five to 10 years) and long (over 10 years) terms. The first round of consultation takes place Feb. 21. Community workshops will be held to introduce the project and to identify the vision and needs in the community related to recreational trails. Two workshops with the same agenda are planned on Feb. 21, the first from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. ,or 6 to 7 p.m., at the Community Portable, 2760 Cameron Rd. To help with preparations, please contact the District of West Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long range planning department to indicate which workshop you will attend. Call 778-797-8830 or email candy.chudyk@districtofwestkelowna.ca.

This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always easy for someone in the midst of a mental illness. Here in the Okanagan, we have a central intake program designed to direct family physician referrals to the most appropriate mental health resources. Although some mental health services require all referrals to come through the central program, there are others that can be contacted directly by the client. You may contact a psychiatrist directly and can certainly call to ask about availability, however, psychiatric care is only fully covered under MSP if you are referred by another physician. If you would like an

immediate psychiatric assessment and are having difficulty getting a referral, you might consider looking into what clinical trials are currently taking place in the community. If you meet the criteria for an ongoing study, there are generally no waitlists and there is never any cost to you. In an effort to ease some of the pressure in our local area, I have opened a psychiatric walk-in clinic, which

takes place every Tuesday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This is not intended for medico-legal or third party assessments. It is also not intended for those in need of hospital admission. If you are in acute crisis, you should go to the hospital emergency department for immediate help and support. Paul Latimer is a psychiatrist and president of Okanagan Clinical Trials.

MOONRISE over the Austrian Alps as seen from the Central Spa Hotel Soelden.

Soelden: Best winter resort you haven’t heard of (yet) Alan Behr CONTRIBUTOR

SOELDEN, Austria—We arrived in Soelden after heavy snows had fallen and the sky had grown as blue and clear as an Alpine lake. (“We” being a family of three: husband, wife and a toddler named Ryan.) Soelden is in the Oetztal region of Tyrol, in the Austrian Alps. It is very popular with Europeans but comparatively unknown to North American ski and snowboard enthusiasts, even to those who, like us, frequent the Alps. That was part of the appeal: After so many ski trips together, my wife and I craved something new. We expect that word will quickly get out in our part of the world because, late last year, Soelden was chosen as the official European training base for the men’s Alpine competitors of the U.S. Ski Team. The American champion downhill skier Bode Miller had already made Soelden a base in the Alps. (The town is his headwear sponsor.) Soelden sits along a small river, in the manner of Zermatt, and it is operated in the service of winter sports, which began in 1948 when a single chair lift, which still runs, started to carry people in a single line, the wooden skis of each resting on his lap. You go up now in a fast gondola from either of two bases at opposite ends of town. With the sky bright and snow plentiful, our guide for a day, Erich Wilhelm of the Yellow Power Ski School, took us to one of two glaciers that sit in

crags among the mountain peaks. We reached it by multiple lifts and a tunnel taken on skis. Our reward was that top-of-the-world feeling that you get from carving clean turns on snow-packed Alpine slopes in good weather, the snow crunching and hissing as you move. Like all good ski guides, Erich was relaxed and forgiving about the mistakes of the amateurs in his charge. He gently coaxed better performance from us on turns and gave tips on skiing in the powder that would surely come from the snowfall expected in the following days. As we sat down for lunch in a small and agreeably warm room at Gampe Thaya, the oldest hut on the region’s mountains, Erich explained the transformation that people like us bring to Soelden annually. “I’m a carpenter in the off season,” he said. “There is much work to do then to renovate and improve the hotels and guesthouses. About 4,100 people live here, but there are over three hundred thousand visitors, mostly in winter.” As we finished a meal of traditional mountain broth, sausages and, for dessert, Kaiserschmarnn (caramelized pancakes cut into chunks and covered with confectioner’s sugar), Austrian men seated themselves at our table. (In Alpine huts, there are no private tables, and anyone may help himself to an unreserved vacant chair.) An accordionist and guitarist strolled in and our tablemates accompanied them in song. We had arrived soon after the start of the break for Russian New Year (Jan. 6), and there were many Russian guests at our hotel, the Cen-

tral Spa Hotel Soelden. In the best Alpine tradition, the Central is luxurious but relaxed; you can dress for dinner as you would to dine at home with good friends. Seated at the table to the right of ours each breakfast and dinner were a lovely young couple from Moscow, Daria and Tim, and their 5-year-old, David. Ryan’s new friend David would soon have a sibling because Daria was pregnant; she spent her days in town or watching David in a children’s race. Ryan became friends with David, following him to the Oezti Club, where the everpatient Gabi looked after the children of hotel guests from morning until dinner was over, with a break in between that was filled, for Ryan, by Caroline, a hotel staffer. The Central’s kitchen is especially distinguished, with a flair for moderate and clever portions, always beautifully presented. That should not be surprising, given that gourmet chefs and increasingly impressive wines are two famous Austrian exports. True to its name, the hotel also has complete spa facilities, from a family pool area, to a clothing-optional sauna and steam bath area, to a no-clothes-allowed-and-that-meansyou, madam area (as my wife discovered) with a whirlpool, saunas and more. Ryan liked sitting in the reduced-size gondola propped beside the pool, and when in the room, he would hike up his sleeves and wash his hands in his personal sink, which others might prefer to call a bidet. On our fifth day, the snowfall that Erich had said was coming and that had begun lightly the day before was now strong and steady. At my re-

quest, and over the objections of Frau Behr (as she is known in the Alps), we took a rest, shopping and having lunch in town. Russian skiers are obviously quite hearty. Many made their way to the slopes regardless of the inclement weather; they were comparatively infrequent guests in all weathers at the apres ski bars and the hotel lounge, preferring an early start and an early bedtime. That attitude also characterizes Frau Behr, who usually does not let anything short of a record blizzard stop her from getting to the slopes. It does not characterize her husband, who feels that a little less skiing, a long lunch at a mountain hut, and an invigorating stretch of sauna and whirlpool time with athletic Russian women is good for the soul. That night, explosions rumbled from the mountains, as snow was cleared to prevent avalanches. “Sprengstoff!” exclaimed Ryan in German. (Explosives!) In the morning, new snow came in a steady fall, and I was pleading for another day of rest, perhaps at a nearby indoor-outdoor thermal spa called the Aqua Dome. We compromised on morning massages, followed by discussion of options. Tall and fit, with light Roger Daltrey curls, Paul is a native of Liverpool who came to the Alps to live, as I do to visit, for a love of the mountains and the mountain culture.

TRAVEL Austria from A32 signal the start of a more modulated life for a man of 43: working winters as a masseuse. Paul was placating the complaints of my bad shoulder when he said, “I agree with your wife. I wouldn’t let that snow keep me from skiing.” With no Americans to consult, and with apparently every Russian who was not pregnant and one sporty Englishman against me, there was nothing for it but to get on those skis and follow Frau Behr up that mountain. Many runs were closed when we arrived (but would slowly open throughout the day), so we skied under low skis on the lowest slopes, alongside evergreens wearing beards of white on all their branches. People fell in the thick powder, including Frau Behr, who lost her skis on a black (difficult) run. I helped her get them on and so we kept going, she leading the way. Soelden has many blue (easy) slopes and that came to our aid now. We stayed upright despite the challenge, and we both enjoyed ourselves. By the time we arrived at the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski in Munich, to relax in preparation for our flight home, Ryan’s German had improved, he had not offered to hug any girls to whom the had not been propertly introduced, and he was now telling us “I want to go skiing,” which may well happen next year.

New tour operator Europe Lives allows new senior tourists to wander without a worry You can go your own way,” Fleetwood Mac told North America’s Baby Boomers in 1976. Today that’s still a lyric, and an audience, that’s music to the ears of an innovative new travel company called Europe Lives. Europe Lives, a creative tour operator based in Vernon, recognized that travel is nothing new to an independent generation that came of age roaming Europe as college students toting backpacks and Eurail passes. Many had since been back on business or vacation. Now, with more time on their hands, they have a desire to once more see the continent up-close again, but not on a stuffy tour bus. Instead, baby boomers yearn to return to the free-and-easy wander of their youth—albeit with more comfortable accommodations than a youth hostel and a sleeping bag. Europe Lives has embraced these twin needs and crafted a new series of on-the-ground tours designed for independent boomers, or anyone else, who want to connect with real people and authentic places in a meaningful way. “Our target customers already know how to get to the Continent,” said Europe Lives co-founder Dirk Terpstra.

“What our company does is provide an organizational framework so they can focus on what they really want—experiencing Europe face-to-face in a way that’s extremely personal. You can think of us as the Zip Car of European vacations.” The reference to the do-ityourself car start-up is an apt one. Just as Zip Car customers find their car waiting for them, Europe Lives takes care of all the trip’s details. The traveler shows up, hops in her car or on her bike and is ready to hit the road. She can even do it on foot. Europe Lives offers three different modes of experiencing the Continent with walking, biking or driving tours. “Our tours are anything but boring,” Terpstra explained. “We get you off a bus and on the ground to do your own thing. Travelers can be confident that Europe Lives has taken care of all the details: the reservations, bookings and ticketing. “You’re free to engage, to roam and experience the Continent without the hassle. We think the generation that ‘did its own thing’ will want to do that with us.” Each one of Europe Lives self-guided tours are deliberately crafted to maximize encounters

with local culture. The company encourages its customers to shop and eat in local markets, advises them on undiscovered restaurants and routes them along roadways that maximize the opportunity to engage with locals and discover a unique region. Each tour is tailored to allow travelers to stay in small, locally owned inns where they can experience the authentic Europe. Europe Lives’ Spanish tour is a good example of how the company thinks. They are currently offering a eight-day, self-guided trip to the Spanish province of Asturias on the country’s northern coast to explore the Picos de Europa, a range of limestone mountains noted for its wild rivers and deep gorges. Travelers will have opportunities to sample the local food including delicious Cabrales cheese and apple cider or tour historic towns noted for their Romanesque architecture. Other tours include a wonderful walking trip along the Chianti vineyards in Tuscany, a combined driving-walking trip to the fascinating Pilgrims Trail to Santiago de Compostela. and a bicycle trip from Amsterdam into the Dutch countryside to meet

with the locals. “Europe Lives should really be called Europe alive,” enthused Bryan Schenker, who biked with a small group along the Dutch canals. “We’ve all been overseas before, but what Dirk’s team did was make this adventure easy. Our bikes were waiting for us when we got there. The itinerary was loose but organized. “The cycling was never strenuous, with time to explore and indulge in leisurely lunches with super authentic amenities on the Dutch barge that stayed with us the whole week. We got a chance to talk with Dutch people and to engage them. I’m looking forward to doing it again, maybe even next year.” Reservations are now being accepted for Europe Lives’ next series of trips beginning early spring 2012. For more information visit them online at europelives.com, on Facebook, by email or call 1-866-800-6600. Founded in 2010, Europe Lives’ mission is to offer real people real travel experiences in 10 different European countries. These are self-guided or guided, walking, cycling or self-drive trips. The two Dutch founders and their team care very much about doing business in a responsible and sustainable way.

Living large in the world’s smallest 4-seater–2012 Scion iQ sized adult. But it’s far less commodious rear of the driver. At five-foot-nine, I left precious little leg room. See Scion iQ B7

MOTORING Scion iQ from B6 Jay admitted that although his head was touching the roof liner, he could have actually driven the car. “But it wouldn’t tbe my vehicle of choice,” he added What this proves is that this micro subcompact is not as cramped as you may think. Inside, the cabin feels spacious, with reasonable head room and loads of shoulder room. Although the iQ is only 35 cm (13.8 inches) longer than the smart’s 2.69 metres, and half a metre shorter than the Fiat, it is substantially wider than both, at 1680 mm (66 inches). That puts it in the same league as much larger cars like Corolla. And with all four wheels pushed to the corners, the car appears almost as wide as it is long. That’s an illusion, of course, but engineering tweaks like a compact airconditioning unit, inverted front-mounted differential, and a compact steering column, allow for a very short front end, and the flat gas tank beneath the floor results in almost no rear overhang. Indeed, the iQ has a real hunkered-down look, appearing far more planted than either the smart or the Fiat. The car’s look is defined by a high beltline, protruding wheel arches and stout headlamps that flow up the A-pillar. The front end is blunt but strong, emphasizing the car’s wide track and adding to the its sporty character. The engine, 94-hp, 1.3-litre inline four, in a

car that weighs only 960 kg (2,116 lb), provides a decent power-to-weight ratio. Although the car doesn’t leap off the line, once the CVT spools up to higher revs, it accelerates willingly. Move the shifter over to “sport” mode and the iQ is even more lively. Steering is electric rack and pinion. There’s plenty of road feel, but what’s really surprising is its turning circle of only 3.9 metres (compared to the smart’s 8.75 metres and the Fiat’s 9.3), allowing the iQ to spin on a dime. The other day, I slid in beside a Ford F 150 crewcab pickup and had quite a laugh when I exited the car. Its back end was barely past the truck’s front door, leaving me nearly enough space behind to park another iQ. But these warm and fuzzy thoughts vanish when driving over rough pavement. The iQ’s suspension doesn’t take kindly to potholes and speed bumps, so ride can be an issue. Road noise also intrudes, especially at highway speeds. But wind noise isn’t bad compared with other microcars. Interior components, although very modern, include an available audio system that takes its cues from a 1950s tabletop radio. Rather than sitting flush in the centre console, it sits atop the stack and provides good sound quality. As you’d expect at the iQ’s base price of $16,760, See Scion iQ B8

Sure, you get a set of crappy 16-inch steel wheels with covers, but like all Scion vehicles, the iQ can be easily customized with a nice set of alloys, not to mention upgraded audio, fog lights, rear spoiler, TRD lowering springs, rear sway bar and more. Another standard iQ feature is the 50/50 split rear bench, folding flat to expand the iQ’s tiny rear storage from a measly 31 litres (one cubic foot— and it seems even smaller) to 473 litres, which is enough for two golf bags.

Fuel economy, of course, is one of the main reasons people buy these city cars, and on that note, the iQ will not disappoint. Although it is about 200 kg heavier than the smart, it is rated even more fuel efficient at 5.5/4.6 litres/100 km (city hwy) compared to 5.9/4.8 for the smart. And it doesn’t get as badly buffeted by winds on the highway. Is the iQ an ideal family car? No. But it is a good second vehicle.

Future trends are always a hot topic amongst media scribes and industry insiders. Concept vehicles provide a glimpse into the future of automotive design, fuel-efficient technologies, new architectural platforms and mobility challenges. For more information on this and the show see www.autoshow.ca. The 39th edition of the Canadian International Auto Show will feature 15 new concept cars as follows:

JAGUAR

Jaguar C-X16 The Jaguar C-X16 concept is a bold statement of JaguarĎ&#x20AC;s future design and technological intent. The C-X16 takes the traditional front-engined, rear-wheel drive formula that Jaguar defined over decades and reinvents it for the 21st century in a performance-oriented hybrid drivetrain with 50:50 weight distribution.

KIA

Kia GT Concept The Kia GT concept showcases a graceful and confident style that resembles iconic 1970Ď&#x20AC;s grand touring (GT) cars. The concept signals the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distinctive new design direction and is the first rear-wheel-drive concept in Kiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history.

MAZDA

Mazda SHINARI Mazda SHINARI is a four-door, four-seat, sports coupe concept vehicle

and a pure expression of MazdaĎ&#x20AC;s new design theme, ĂĽKODO â&#x2030; Soul of MotionĎ&#x20AC;, in its idealized form. Mazda SHINARI showcases several new design elements that will carry forward into production, beginning with the 2013 CX-5 compact SUV, and represents the first initiative by Mazda Design to express ĂĽKODO â&#x2030; Soul of Motion.

SUBARU

Subaru XV Concept The Subaru XV Concept is a fun, urban crossover that will elevate driving enjoyment to new levels. Familiar neighbourhoods will seem new again and even ordinary errands are more exciting from behind the wheel of the brand new XV Concept thatĎ&#x20AC;s still unmistakably Subaru. Fresh, energizing colours and a unique wheel design accentuate a playful, sporty yet casual style and distinctive character all its own.

VOLKSWAGEN

Bulli Concept Car The Bulli represents the future of urban mobility and utility. Capturing the iconic looks of the original microbus, the BulliĎ&#x20AC;s compact exterior belies the spacious interior. Powered by a unique, zero-emission electric drivetrain, the Bulli concept points to the future of mobility and does so with style and utility in mind.

SOLID INVESTMENTS

DISCLOSURE

BC New Car Dealers are required to disclose if a vehicle has been registered out of province, used as a lease or rental car, or as a taxi, police or emergency vehicle or has been damaged over certain limits.

WARRANTIES

BC New Car Dealers provide full manufacturer warranties on new vehicles while offering a range of warranties on most used vehicles.

SOLUTIONS

BC New Car Dealers back up their sales by providing customers with access to the Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan so as to resolve any problems with vehicle manufacturers. BC New Car Dealers and their trained technicians know your vehicle and its servicing needs better than anyone. They have received the very best in training and know your specific vehicle inside and out.

LEASING

BC New Car Dealers comply with strict leasing standards when leasing a vehicle.

FINANCING

BC New Car Dealers have a range of financing available to assist customers with the purchase or lease of their vehicle and a variety of insurance products to protect their investment. BC New Car Dealers have a large investment in their personnel, operations and reputation as well as in their local community. You know where to find them when you need them.

Peter and Rita Klimuk were Nelson’s and Joan’s special friends who will remember the great times they shared Nelson is predeceased by his parents Marie and Harry Scott, his brothers Leighton, Wendell, and Ted as well as his sister Edith Marchant.

BRADLEY, PATRICIA ALICE (nee Favre) Died the morning of February 13 after a brief illness, aged 71. Survived by her husband of 51 years, Basil, daughter Sue (Don) of Port Alberni and sons Brian (Thea) of Victoria and Steve (Jenny) of Angleholm, Sweden, as well as extended family in Regina, Edmonton, Red Deer, and Slocan. Daughter of Tom and Louise Favre of Regina, Saskatchewan, Pat grew up on the 1100 block Cameron St. She attended Albert School and Scott Collegiate, graduating in 1958. She married Basil Bradley in 1960 and in 1966 they moved to Moose Jaw where Pat worked for the Public Library and the City of Moose Jaw. From 1978 Pat and Basil lived in Kelowna where they raised a family and she worked at the Okanagan Regional Library until her retirement in 1999. Pat loved gardening and especially quilting. She was active in the Orchard Valley Quilters Guild and always had a quilt or two on the go. Pat’s generous and outgoing manner made her many good friends through quilting, the library, and the Tronson Drive neighbourhood where she lived. Outspoken and possessed with a ﬁrm social conscience, Pat was always ready to let her opinions be known through letters to the editor or emails to politicians. The true love of her life was her grandchildren. The kitchen and quilting room were ﬁlled with pictures of Alexis, Luke, Eva, Harry, Hugo, and Rowan. She always looked forward to visits and phone calls, and got great enjoyment out of birthdays and gift-giving. Pat was very much at the center of activity in the lives of her grandchildren, family, and friends. Pat’s death leaves a tremendous void and her presence will be missed by many people. No funeral service will be held and a celebration of Pat’s life will be held in the summer. A special thanks to Dr. Lynne Tereposky and her assistant Catherine for their extra care and attention. Condolences may be made to the family by visiting www.everdenrust.com (250)-860-6440

BRENT DARWIN RAYMOND PASARENO It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Brent Darwin Raymond Pasareno. After a courageous battle with cancer Brent passed away peacefully on Monday, February 13, 2012. Brent is survived by his loving wife Rosemary, his daughters Lori (Dean) Pasareno-Wilson, Lonnie (Bob) Pasareno-Tate, Marla Pasareno, and Marcie Pasareno, his brother Bill (Iris) Pasareno, nephew Jayson and niece Alexandra Pasareno and nephew Conway (Linda) Yury. Brent was predeceased by his wife Bonnie Mulligan, his parents William and Georgina Pasareno, and his sisters Lila Yury and Ora Lee Pasareno. Brent loved life and lived it to the fullest. He was born in Ste. Rose Dulac, Manitoba on July 23, 1941. The oldest of four children he began working at a young age with his father at the family sawmill. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to begin his own company. Brent owned and operated a successful road contracting business in Northern Saskatchewan for 20 years. His love of the north led Brent to explore the romance of the Klondike gold fields. Eventually Brent found the perfect balance, working a successful placer operation during the arctic summer and relaxing with friends in sunny Arizona in the winter. If Arizona was too hot, or the Yukon was too cold, Brent could be found along the shores of Okanagan Lake. It was important for Brent to stay connected to family and friends. Brent could often be found with the local coffee crowd swapping tales of his adventures. A celebration of Brent’s life will be held at 4:00 pm on Saturday, February 18th at the Pointe Club House 4074 Gellatly Road, West Bank Kelowna. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the M.S. Society of Kelowna or to Hospice House Kelowna. The family would like to extend a thank you to Dr. Shepherd, the Vascular Surgeons in Kelowna, the Palliative Care Team in West Bank, the staff at Hospice House and in particular his caregiver Dylan for his compassion, companionship, and caring of Brent through this very difficult time. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.valleyviewfuneralhome.com. Arrangements entrusted to Valleyview Funeral Home, Kelowna, BC 250-765-3147.

SHOWCASE W INTERIOR DESIGN

W OF PRIME INTEREST

Bold colours no longer just for kids Predicting the For a long time, bold colours seemed too juvenile to use in abundance, too boisterous to let loose in a sophisticated setting. Today, interior designers say, they are the essential ingredient in even the most timid colour schemes. For example, in Deco Candy, one of the PPG Pittsburgh Paints trends palettes for 2012, the colours are clean and energetic. Kids would happily use any or all of them in a single room. But bold and bright colours are not just for kids. Here are the strategies for grown-ups: Ease out of neutral. If you are not accustomed to having them around, your psyche may need to ease into bold colours. Build up your colour tolerance by introducing them into your neutral space one wall or colour block at a time. Take their temperature. Deco Candy’s bright hues look beautiful with neutrals, as do all bold colours. Just be sure to put warm ones (red, orange, or yellow-based colours) with warm neutrals, and put cool ones (blues, greens, and violets) with cool neutrals. If you are not sure what you have, use a grey like Turtle Dove (511-4) as the main colour for

rise and fall of interest rates

CONTRIBUTED

BOLD AND BRIGHT colour hues work beautifully with neutrals. Start with a colour block to build up your colour tolerance. wall and trim. It goes with everything. It will still work if you exchange your bold accent for another or decide to expand your accent colour to more of the room. Grey is easy to get along with. Get rid of white. Colour is softened by reducing dark-light contrasts. White trim interrupts a colour scheme. Instead of white, match the trim to the walls, or use a lighter or darker version of the wall colour. If you really must

have contrasting trim then tone it down to off-white (Mountain Gray, 416-1), or tan (Toasted Almond, 414-3) or the grey, Turtle Dove, all from PPG’s Voice of Colour palette. Make ceilings a lighter version of the wall colour or a lighter coordinating colour—but banish white. There’s no such thing as too much, just too many. Colour is not tiring, but too many colours can be. Reduce the number of colours you use, not their

intensity. One main colour will create an ambiance you can settle into, but you can also pair your bold colour with others in the same family because they maintain the same mood. For example, Tangerine Dream (123-7), works with Gold Buff (215-4), a dustier yellow-orange. Don’t back off. Don’t trade the colour you love for the one that is two chips above on the stripe card. That colour is not the one you fell for at all. In-

stead, start small and ease in. Reduce colour clutter. Bits and pieces of colour create a busy room. Discipline your colour palette by coordinating the accessories, art and fabrics. Or, bring in one bold, beautiful colour in a big way. As counterintuitive as that may seem, the magic of bold colour is the calm it creates. Like a magnet, it pulls forward all the variations of itself from random coloured objects, and makes all the colours sing in harmony.

For those of us who have a mortgage, it is a challenge as to what type of mortgage term we should choose. Are there ways to keep ahead of rises in interest rates and protect ourselves from having our payments rising with them? The best way to do that is to follow changes as reported through the media on a daily basis and listen to hear what the financial experts are saying about a potential increase or decrease in interest rates and the reasons why. For example, just before the recession hit in 2008, interest rates were headed upwards. After the economic collapse hit, interest rates instead took a dive and trended lower, and have remained at historic lower levels since then. Today, there are many variables that show a trend to rates remaining lower will continue. Those variables include the status of the U.S. economy, economic problem in Europe, China’s inflation rate and Canada’s own economic situation. These are all factors guiding current interest rate trends. For mortgage brokers, we want to give peace of mind to our clients and be able to budget appropriately, which is more accessible with guarantees of an interest rate for a longer period of time. Variable rates are not as attractive an option as they once were with interest rates at current levels and showing no signs of change for the near future. For example, a five-year mortgages is as low as 3.25%, a four-year closed mortgage rate is as low as 2.99%, three-year closed mortgage as low as 2.89%.

Predator Ridge forms an alliance to be summer home for Hockey Canada Predator Ridge has formed a preferred partnership alliance with Hockey Canada and will become “Hockey Canada’s Summer Home” for 2012. “Hockey Canada is very excited to enter into a special and unique partnership with Predator Ridge,” said

Scott Smith, chief operating officer of Hockey Canada. “Hockey Canada remains very active in the summer as we prepare our teams, events and programs for the following season. This agreement will allow Hockey Canada to hold a number of events in the

spectacular surroundings of Predator Ridge, while working towards a successful 2012-13 season.” The partnership will see Predator Ridge being used as a home base for a number of Hockey Canada’s summer activities, including charity events and

Wesbild Holdings, Predator Ridge’s parent company. With 36 holes of championship golf and a diverse range of amenities, Predator Ridge is a natural fit for golfloving hockey enthusiasts, Pelletier said.
