S

ome of the brightest and most creative minds in our schools gathered at the UBC Okanagan campus to participate in the annual Regional Science Fair.

The science fair, which started Thursday and wraps up today, gave students an opportunity to showcase their science projects. The work offers a glimpse into what the future may bring.

The event featured more than 60 projects and 79 students from both public and private schools across the Okanagan, competing for prizes and a chance to represent B.C. at the Canada Wide Science Fair in May in Charlottetown, P.E.I. The topics covered by the exhibits ranged from protecting killer whales to exploring how dance can enhance memory to building energy efficient homes.

CLOSE-UP

Science Fair taken to a higher level by students Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

CASSANDRA CHAPMAN and Sarah Hillmor attempted to show with their experiment that school textbooks and water bottles contained the highest amount of bacteria out of the assorted items they test-swabbed.

Photos by Doug Farrow

JOHN NEMES used his own eyes, a three-way mirror, and a video game to test how many times an eye blinks before and after screen use and in the dark.

CHRISTINE Semeniuk, a student at Helen Gorman Elementary in West Kelowna, presented her science research project about different kinds of rotors and the free fall time for each.

LUCAS ZEER-WANKLYN (left), a student at Kelowna Senior Secondary, was one of six students from across the region who had their science fair experiments chosen to compete in the Canada Wide Science Fair taking place in Prince Edward Island in May. His experiment involved an emotion recording device that uses the conductivity of the skin to measure sweat gland activity, demonstrated by fellow student Brianna Raby (right).

Walk through the halls of UBCO’s Fipke Building this week and it won’t take long to see the years of hocus pokus baking soda and vinegar volcanoes are passé.

Science Fair fare has gone high tech and the payoff can be worth it’s weight in gold—quite literally.

Pull in one of the best projects in the country and it isn’t unheard of to earn $40,000 in scholarships in a single year, and Okanagan students are only getting more competitive, said Shona Becker, a McNicoll Park Middle School teacher from Penticton who organizes the regional event.

“We’ve had some really strong years,” she said. “This year three of the six students selected to go to the national competition have been before, so they have a really good sense of the level of scientific and statistical analysis.”

For 2012, students Vincent Combret, of KVR Middle School in Penticton, Lucas Zeer-Wanklyn, of Kelowna Secondary School, Joshua Gowe, from KVR Middle, Breanna Gowe, of Penticton High, Meg Cumming, of Penticton High, and Sam Bunka, of Kelowna’s Aberdeen Hall, will be heading to Charlottetown, P.E.I. for the Canada Wide Science Fair.

What they’ll net is yet to be seen, but a first place in just one category—presentation, backdrop, statistical analysis, etc.—can pull down $10,000.

Allison Brown and Jacquelyn Draper went to the event last year when it was held in Toronto, and were blown away by the level of competition—and the event itself.

“They really pulled out all the stops for us,” said Brown, noting they didn’t

Six students chosen to take part in Canada Wide Science Fair Students from A3 win anything but con-

chance to check out the competition. “The winners were testing cancer drugs and they had a lab and sponsors,� said Draper.

Overall, the projects must have inspired as the then Grade 9 students got on the plane home and started making plans for this year’s science project.

This time their work took them to regionals.

They did a research project on nut allergies surmising that a combina-

tion of factors from overzealous cleaning habits to a genetic mutation can all come together to produce the dangerous condition.

The incidents of nut allergies are out-pacing what should be naturally occurring, they say.

On the other hand, John Nemes discovered human technology is outpacing what should be naturally occurring in order for our bodies to remain healthy.

His project, entitled

The Next Evolution of the Eye, illustrates the strain screen use of devices from iPads to Kobos to video games can cause.

Nemes used his own eyes, a three-way mirror, and a video game to test how many times an eye blinks before and after screen use in the light and in the dark; he discovered the technology definitely has an impact. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

in lobbies if minors are present, and in auditoriums if it’s an adult-only event.

“That really restricts us, especially where we’re serving communities that serve all ages,” said Davis.

“It’s for premium auditoriums that have full-service, including food. It’s not something we would do.”

It would also stem the flow of a good portion of it’s employment base.

Anyone who was to work at the theatres, if they were to sell liquor, would have to be of serving age.

And, perhaps the biggest incentive to steer clear, said Davis, is the extra red tape that would come with such an endeavour.

“Basically it would just mean another level of government we’d have to work with,” he said.

“Already we have to deal with Consumer Protection B.C. for ratings, then we’d have to deal with the liquor control branch, and pay extra fees. It’s so much.”

That said, red tape is something that any business is willing to get tangled in if the payoff is high enough.

“There is demand, but it’s not something I want in the theatre,” he said.

“It doesn’t mean it’s not going to happen, there’s always a possibility.”

The new regulations have been hailed as a solution to the controversy raised when some single screen theatres sought liquor licences so they could sell alcohol at live events.

NEWS ▼ FUNDING CANCELLED

Free access to computers facing cutback Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Several agencies in the Okanagan are realizing they will be impacted by the federal government’s cancellation of funding for the Community Access Program.

The program had existed since 1995 and its purpose was to bring computer and Internet technologies to Canadians across the country.

The program was ideal for those who wished to access the Internet but could not afford to pay for access in their own homes.

Federal funding for the Community Access Program ended on March 31.

Lesley Dieno, executive director of Okanagan Regional Library, said the decision to cut funding will result in a noticeable impact.

“Our CAP grants come to a little bit more than $80,000 a year,” saidDieno. “We have 21 CAP sites in our branches. The CAP grants are around $4,000 per site.

“It will be undoubtedly more difficult for the board. I think we can manage for the remainder of this year but the challenge will be in next year’s budget because the board will have to take the lack of that $80,000 into account and decide how it’s going to respond.”

Dieno said the federal government’s decision won’t likely result in the elimination of computers throughout Central Okanagan libraries.

“I don’t think it means that all the computers in the library will disappear because we spend way more than $80,000—it’s not like the CAP grant covers our (full) computer cost.”

According to Dieno, most of the libraries have waiting areas to use the computers due to high demand.

She said that the board will have to decide what it will do to respond to the situation at its next meeting in May. A total of 11 locations will be impacted in Kelowna, three of which are libraries. Community Access Program funding cuts will affect a total of 50 sites in the Okanagan.

Another Kelowna location that will be affected is Parkinson Recreation Centre.

According to Lori Angus, administration and fi-

nance manager with Kelowna Recreation and Cultural Services, the funding cut came as a surprise.

“We got the email about the funding on Tuesday. We haven’t had a chance to wrap our heads around what that’s going to mean for us,” said Angus.

She said there will befunding for the computers for the rest of 2012 but the computers’ long-term fate is not known at this point.

“We need to spend some time in 2012 evaluating the program and start to make plans and determine what we can do to move forward,” Angus said.

“We understand the program is important and we’ll do what we can to see what options are available for us.”

NEWS ▼ WESTBANK FIRST NATION

Local MP wants feedback on private hospital proposal Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Last week, Westbank First Nation Chief Robert Louie told the Capital News of the band’s plans to create a privately funded medical facility on WFN land.

Louie said the facility would focus on all medical services except emergency, obstetrics and

psychiatric care.

He claimed self-governance allows the WFN to build the centre without provincial interference.

Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas said that he’s still unaware whether or not WFN’s health facility is violating any part of the federal Canada Health Act. “To the best of my knowledge, this is the first

time that a First Nation’s committee has announced a project to this kind of magnitude,” said the MP. “How the Canada Health Act intertwines with First Nation self-governance is a topic I will be researching further.”

Albas said he is interested in hearing the public’s feedback.

“To date, I haven’t received any feedback on

the proposal.

“It sounds like it’s a very significant project.

From what I understand (there are) millions of dollars of investment and a significant amount of higher paying jobs.”

Alan Davidson, an assistant professor of health studies at UBC Okanagan, said he first learned about the private medical facility on Thursday.

From what he knows about the planned private facility, it would not be violate the Canada Health Act. “The Canada Health Act is really just a vehicle for regulating the funding relationships betweens and the provinces,” said Davidson.

“It’s not a matter of what’s legal and what’s illegal, the federal govern-

ment does not have the authority to determine what health care services are lawful or unlawful because health care in Canada is a provincial responsibility. So the Canada Health Act is kind of a red herring.”

Louie said that he hopes to take advantage of “billions of dollars” that go out of Canada every year.

“People are frustrated with the long waits (for) getting things like hip replacements or heart surgeries,” said Louie. “We think that instead of having all these dollars go out of the country—keep it here.”

The chief said construction of the facility could start at some point this year. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

The Central Okanagan Regional District will wrap up its water main spring flushing today.

The spring maintenance program has been going on since March 26.

During that period, environmental services staff flushed out mains in five older CORD water systems.

“It’s important to flush

water mains on a regular basis to ensure optimum water quality and remove any sediment deposits that may accumulate over time,” said regional district spokesman Bruce Smith.

Customers will find more information and answers to questions they might have about the regional district water main

flushing program on the water systems webpage www.regionaldistrict. com/water.

The regional district water systems service more than 800 customers in the following areas: Falcon Ridge, Killiney Beach, Sunset Ranch, Star Place/Trepanier and Westshore.

The sixth and newest

water system in the Upper Fintry, Shalal Road and Valley of the Sun subdivisions is undergoing tests and is expected to begin service for approximately 350 property owners next month.

The flushing will be being carried out as part of the work needed to prepare the water systems forj use.

Vaisakhi parade expected to draw crowd of 5,000 Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

The Okanagan’s Sikh community will be sharing some of the food, music and traditions that define the most significant event in their calendar year during a weekend procession through Rutland.

The second annual Vaisakhi parade will be held in Kelowna Saturday, and it’s expected to be an even livelier event than the inaugural parade that took place last year.

“I think it will be bigger. Last year’s event was great, it was well received by the community, and even the city was happy with how it turned out,” said organizer Parmjit Patara.

That event, attracted about 3,000 attendees and this year he’s expecting up to 5,000. And, he said, growing community participation is more than welcomed.

“We just want everybody to come out and enjoy the parade and the food,” he said, adding he’s been inundated by calls from area residents, offering to bring more traditional fare to the temple, to share with revellers.

“Let’s just say, the temple never runs out of food.”

The temple, as a matter of fact, is one of the reasons why the parade, which previously only happened in large urban hubs, started in Kelowna.

“The Sikh population has been growing,” he said. “And since we built the new temple, there’s been a demand. People kept asking for us to have a Vaisakhi parade.”

He estimated 4,000 to 5,000 Sikh families who now call the valley home, it was a no brainer. Now all those area Sikhs, and the community at large, get a chance to celebrate a major cultural milestone without a lengthy drive to the Lower Mainland.

Vaisakhi is one of the most significant holidays in the Sikh calendar. Its re-

ligious origins stem from the fact it’s when the Sikhs gained a distinct identity, said Patara.

It also marks the harvest of winter crops in the Punjab region and the start of a new year.

It’s a time of celebration as farmers enjoy the fruits of hard work and thank God for the bountiful harvest and pray for prosperity in the future.

And many celebrations specific to the holiday will be on display during the Saturday event.

There will be food, music and the traditional Bhangra and Gidda dance by men and women.

The traditional folk dance is performed in groups on the fast beat of dhol (drum).

Dancers perform everyday farming scenes of sowing, harvesting and gathering of crops through movements of the body to the accompaniment of a ballad.

Kelowna’s second annual Vaisakhi Parade will take place Saturday, April 14 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Rutland Road N. will be closed from approximately 11 a.m. to noon to allow the parade to pass.

Rolling road closures will also begin at 11 a.m. along Wallace Road, Sycamore Road, Friesen Road, McCurdy Road E., Keyes Road and Sumac Road to accommodate the parade.

Truck route closure signage will be posted on Highway 33 and Highway 97 for Rutland Road.

Detour signs for motorists using Rutland Road as well as traffic control personnel will be visible along the affected residential streets. Motorists may experience minor disruptions and are asked to be cautious while driving.

Who allowed ‘garish’ paint job?

To the editor: In the news lately, we have read a lot about adhering to the Downtown Plan, conforming and fitting into the neighbourhood.

Do these principles apply to areas of Kelowna outside the downtown core?

I would hope so but I am dismayed by a recent development on my street.

We live in an old, established, almost downtown neighbourhood.

The back of our house overlooks Lawrence Avenue and the “infill” house we built three years ago is actually on Lawrence Avenue.

Across from us was a Buddhist church, which has been transformed over the winter into a big-box-style daycare centre.

Many improvements have been made to the property; my problem is the colours applied to the exterior of the building.

This very large, and therefore impossible to ignore, structure is now dressed in hideous green and blue stripes.

The upside of being at the top of a worst jobs list

T

wo news stories dominated my social media feeds this morning when I snapped-to and did my obligatory headline scan: Canuck bashing and an article called Top 10 worst jobs of 2012.

Being as my interest in the Canucks is limited to avoiding the annoyance that arises when I’m forced to listen to people talk about hockey during the play-offs, my attention turned to the latter where I expected to delight in a healthy serving of schadenfreude. After all, everyone likes a good chin wag about the lesser attributes of their career path, but there’s something even more gratifying about knowing you’re not the worst-off.

For example: Sure, I practically live in a cubicle and I get the odd creepy

hate-letter, but it’s no Chilean mine. Get my drift?

Turns out, however, my morning pick me up was less cause for personal celebration than I Kathy expected.

The hubbub causing Michaels news story among my social media “friends” was created by the American site CareerCast, which ranked the worst jobs by physical demands, work environment, income, stress and hiring outlook.

The list, from worst to best, is as follows: Lumberjack, Dairy Farmer, Enlisted Military Soldier, Oil Rig Worker, Newspaper Reporter, Waiter/Waitress, Meter Reader, Dishwasher, Butcher and Broadcaster Newspaper jobs made the list, ac-

KATHARTIC

cording to CareerCast, because “the digital world continues to take over and provide on-demand information, the need for print newspapers and daily newscasts is diminishing. To be sure, both jobs once seemed glamorous, but on-the-job stress, declining job opportunities and income levels are what landed them on our Worst Jobs list.”

Less than inspiring, if you’re on the keyboard end of a newspaper job.

After a moment of reflection and a morning shoot of caffeine, however, the I turned my frown upside down.

Thing is, regardless of industry worries I wouldn’t lump my career path in with the likes of dishwasher or waitress, having subjected myself to both of those miseries. Nor do I put much stock in their analysis of print.

So much has been made about the changing face of the media landscape, but to think of a print product as paper-

alone, is short-sighted and unfortunate.

You’d be hard pressed to find a newspaper that’s not started to transcend pulp and enter pixels. But there’s something more to the medium that wasn’t acknowledged in the list. The ability to tell a story is something that will matter in any economic climate.

And, last but not least, to call it “glamourous,” goes to show there’s something dramatically wrong with the analysis. I can think of a dozen downright humiliating and weird experiences that come from choosing this career path, but that’s part of the appeal.

Reporters get a front row seat to both the macabre and marvellous moments in a community, but there’s nothing else I’d rather do. Trust me, I’ve tried.

Gulf of St. Lawrence is important to Canada

W

e Canadians love the wilderness.

Whether we’re talking to visitors here or people we meet in our travels, our conversations almost always end up about our great outdoors and pristine natural spaces.

Caring about the environment is one of the ways we define ourselves.

But how good are we at protecting what’s at the core of our identity?

Despite national parks that act as natural wildlife reserves, and bold policies adopted by some of our most progressive provinces to combat climate change, the fact remains that our environmental regulatory system is being downgraded by a federal government that gives some industrial interests priority over the environment and the overall longterm economy that depends on it.

This is especially dangerous when it comes to preserving ecosystems that rely on strong policies and regulations to thrive.

For example, Canada t has the longest coastline of any nation but only protects one per cent of its ocean and marine environments—well under

SCIENCE MATTERS

David Suzuki the 10 per cent recommended by the Convention on Biological Diversity of the United Nations.

Proposed regulatory changes make it look like the environment is not a priority.

The federal government recently signalled its intention to gut the Fisheries Act by stripping down habitat protection provisions, and it plans to amend the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act in a way that would make it easier for mining and oil companies, for example, to jump through regulatory hoops and get projects up and running faster than the time required to evaluate all their impacts on nature.

These legislative changes could have serious repercussions for the health of marine environments, including the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Oil and gas reserves there have industry and governments eyeing the

economic opportunities.

Softening environmental laws could have a direct impact on the Gulf’s health and future by allowing the oil industry access to this fragile and complex ecosystem.

I had the chance to visit the Magdalen Islands, in the heart of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, in spring 2011 with my friend George Stroumb-

oulopoulos.

We were filming a web segment to raise awareness of the gulf’s importance and the risks associated with oil and gas drilling.

The natural beauty there so inspired me that I wrote The Declaration of the Defenders of the Gulf.

It says, among other things: “Now, exploding human numbers, technological power, consump-

tive demand, and the global economy are putting the Gulf under multiple stresses. We understand that our economic and social wellbeing depend on a healthy gulf ecosystem.”

It’s a call to slow down and consider the values of nature and the importance of the area to the people who have lived there for generations and, indeed, to all of us.

Now is the time to defend one of the planet’s most precious and unique ecosystems from industrial development.

There’s been a lot of buzz around possible oil and gas development in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, including a proposal to drill in the Old Harry area.

The stakes are high.

According to the Quebec government, the Old Harry prospect alone is twice the size of the Hibernia oil field, with about two billion barrels of oil and up to five trillion cubic feet of natural gas.

We must reflect on the long-term impacts of industrial development – from an environmental perspective and in consideration of the communities that have depended on the Gulf’s bountiful resources for

thousands of years.

The David Suzuki Foundation and its friends and partners are committed to raising awareness about the consequences of today’s choices on the people of tomorrow.

Scientists say we need to know more about the gulf’s ecosystems and the complex relationships people have developed with them over millennia.

That’s why we must invest in science-based research and strengthen our knowledge before doing anything that could jeopardize the health of the gulf’s ecosystems.

The Fisheries Act and the CEAA are based on sound scientific information. It is of utmost importance that any changes to these laws be informed by the same scientific knowledge.

The Gulf of St. Lawrence and all of Canada’s marine ecosystems are invaluable to us all.

We need to keep strong laws to ensure we protect these places that give us so much and help define us as Canadians.

To improve road safety, fix drivers first To the editor: I read all about the additional lights and the accidents that have occured on Highway 97 in the last four years.

Several statements made by the transport

ministry in regards to this were very interesting. But it is a horrible thing to think of all the accidents that are happening on the highway.

I think that the only way to correct this situa-

tion is to think when we drive.

I spent quite a few years of my life working with, and in, the automotive trade and have marvelled at the strides taken in the building of

our cars, most of which are held together with nuts and bolts.

But we need to fix the “nut” behind the wheel.

This would go a long way to help the situation and also would remove

the need for extra lights, because some drivers still cannot seem to see them anyway.

Sweet Alibi presents a promising start with its first CD Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Solid vocal harmonies put the sugar in Sweet Alibi’s natural lilt, but it’s their open-minded approach to music that just might put this band on top.

The Winnipeg-based girl group has just released its first CD and its members hope it won’t be long until they’re playing music full-time, touring the world to play festivals and concerts from the United State to Europe— and they’ve roped some pretty big support thus far.

Their first CD, selftitled, is produced by Juno award winner and former Crash Test Dummies member Mitch Dorge, who was playing with band member Michelle Anderson’s boyfriend

when he was introduced to their sound. “We met him at a house concert for somebody’s birthday,� said Jessica Rae Ayre, who assembled Sweet Alibi out of a collection of friends. “We got to talking about recording and within a few months started working with him.�

It didn’t take much to iron out the kinks in their harmonies. With four ears on the task, it was easy to hear what worked, what didn’t and how exactly to polish the trio’s unique style.

Rae Ayre comes from more of a blues/soul background, listening to the likes of Etta James, Coco Taylor and Adele, whom fans have been telling her fits her sound perfectly.

Amber Nielsen claims more of a country back-

ground with Dolly Parton and Gillian Welch belting from her stereo, whereas Anderson has some classical training and jazz, from university, and typically has singer/songwrit-

ers like Hawksley Workman on the brain.

All this is to say the group is somewhat typically atypical at this stage

in their career.

Still in what one might call the formative years, the CD showcases a lot of talent and an open-ended direction that should make their concert interesting.

And while they do have fairly normal topics, relationships and the like, tunes like Phoebe’s Song demonstrate a creative capacity that’s both sweet, sad and humorous.

The song is about Nielsen’s bird, Pheobe, and is best described as a bittersweet lullaby. “How lucky am I to have lived in a world with something so sweet?� the girls croon.

Perry’s re-release worth a listen KATY PERRY: TEENAGE DREAM, THE COMPLETE CONFECTION (EMI) Like her music contemporaries—Lady GaGa, Ke$ha, Madonna, Nelly Furtado, etc.—Katy Perry has also re-released a blockbuster album with new songs, remixes and a mash-up of hits as an unrepentant cash grab.

Right now, Perry is enjoying yet another popdance smash hit with Part Of Me that gives this refurbished version of the 2010 Teenage Dream release a solid half-dozen top-10 radio and dance club crossover chart toppers.

What I appreciate about Perry, besides her hard work and ambition, is her bold-faced acknowledgment of her place in the scheme of musical things.

Unlike some of her contemporaries, Perry doesn’t try to hide her mostly empty-headed, party-pop music with faux high-art pretentions.

This expanded reissue from the original 12 tracks to 19 is subtitled The Complete Confection as an admission that this type of hedonistic pop is pure ear candy and nothing else.

Madonna and Lady GaGa usually try too hard to be taken as serious, high-concept artists, while Perry has none of this pretension.

Remember that the original Teenage Dream came with a bubble gum scented liner and the cloud she was posing naked on wasn’t a celestial cloud but rather a waft of cotton candy.

The complete confection version has a new 3D liner that still celebrates candy with her wearing a crown of lollipops.

Anyway, there are remixes of E.T. and Last

SOUNDING OFF

Bruce Mitchell Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) that feature Kanye West and Missy Elliott respectively, while DJ Tommie Sunshine offers a remix medley of six Perry hits as a mega-mix for lazy disc jockeys.

The frothy dance pop of Part Of Me is the best of the three new songs, whereas the ballad Wide Awake sounds a tad too strident and the acoustic version of The One That Got Away is best for fans only.

With at least seven hits now, Teenage Dream has squeezed out a little more life with this expanded version but you might want to just pick up the single rather than spring for all these tunes you already have.

BCASEY JAMES: (BNA/SONY) Casey James finished third behind Crystal Bowersox and Lee Dewyze in the 2010 edition of American Idol.

He has taken the longest time of the three to release his debut album and it is better than hoped for with clean, but radiofriendly, country rock and for some soulful R&B flavoured country.

You can readily make out James penchant for soulful singing on the sultry Let’s Don’t Call It A Night, while a little deeper into his self-titled album, James proved to be a fairly solid southern-fried rocker with the standouts Tough Love and Workin’ On It that

gave slightly more grit.

This album made its debut at the No.2 spot on the Billboard country charts, which may be an indication of how popular the American Idol reality series has evolved.

But this is also a likeable and satisfying country rock album where Casey James plays a solid guitar and co-writes most of the material.

commitment and there is plenty to appreciate on this 13-track CD. There are several beguiling ballads here with the string-laden folk pop of Hello Goodbye, while Sheryl Crow comes to mind on the mid-tempo pop song Alive.

Justice is a talent to watch even though it takes a few listens to really get into Eat Dirt.

SUSAN JUSTICE: EAT DIRT (CAPITOL)

DOWNLOAD SONG OF THE WEEK: THE KINKS: VICTORIA

Susan Justice is reportedly a refugee from her own family and 10 siblings.

It turns out there was fervent religious fanaticism that was squashing the life out of her until Justice escaped to pursue her own life and musical ideas.

This escape is chronicled in semi autobiographical songs found on Eat Dirt which is the first album from this fine singer/songwriter.

Justice was fortunate to hook up with noted producer Toby Gad of Beyonce, Fergie and Alicia Keys fame and it is the latter who Justice most resembles although her instrument of choice is the acoustic guitar rather than piano.

Susan Justice name drops Bob Dylan and Rosa Parks on the lead off song Born Bob Dylan perhaps indicating her

Okay, so The Kinks have had a slew of classic rock hits on the radio but their brilliant concept album, titled Arthur (Or The Decline And Fall Of The British Empire), got overlooked as the band was blacklisted in the early 1970s and could not tour in North America for reasons that remain murky to this day.

Arthur was supposed to be a BBC film and Ray Davies came up with a fantastic soundtrack just as the BBC changed its mind and inexplicably cancelled the production.

Still, Arthur remains a five-star classic loaded with great tunes highlighted by this opening rock and roll gem.

NEWS ▼ NEW FORESTRY STRATEGY

Wood first priority unveiled Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

What is today a North America-wide initiative— to consider the use of wood first wherever possible in construction—actually had its beginnings in West Kelowna.

Yet, the District of West Kelowna was not among the 42 B.C. communities hailed for adopting a wood first policy by Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve

Thomson at Thursday’s unveiling in West Kelowna of the province’s new provincial forest sector strategy.

A policy of maximizing the use of wood in all provincially-funded buildings in B.C. was adopted by the province in 2009, recalls Mary Tracey, who was responsible for the Wood-Works project of the Canadian Wood Council, which is supported by Natural Resources Canada and For-

estry Innovation Investment, a provincial government initiative.

She was born a Gorman and is one of the principals in Gorman Brothers Lumber, where Thursday’s unveiling took place.

She first conceived of the idea in 1988 and a pilot project was started.

Today, it’s a North America-wide initiative and countries overseas are also looking at adopting it.

REGIONAL D ISTRICT NEWS 1450 K.L.O. Road, Kelowna, B.C. V1W 3Z4 • 763-4918 • Fax 763-0606 • www.regionaldistrict.com PUBLIC HEARING - APRIL 23, 2012 The Regional District of Central Okanagan Board has scheduled a Public Hearing for 7:00 p.m., Monday, April 23, 2012, at the Regional District of Central Okanagan in the Woodhaven Board Room, 1450 KLO Road, in regard to BRENT ROAD / TREPANIER OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN BYLAW NO. 1303 (File: 6480-80) The Brent Road / Trepanier Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1303 is intended to provide guidance as to what type of new development, if any, is appropriate and sustainable for the areas over the long-term. In addition, the OCP incorporates environmental Development Permit (DP) requirements that currently do not apply to the Brent Road/Trepanier area.

The OCP area consists of the Brent Road neighbourhood and the Trepanier neighbourhood outside the District of Peachland, including Trepanier Road, Maxwell Road, Star Place and portions of Trepanier Provincial Park within the Central Okanagan West Electoral Area. The new OCP does not include the Crystal Mountain Ski Resort area.

No representation will be received by the Regional Board after the conclusion of the Public Hearing.

If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact the Development Services Department at 250-469-6227.

“It’s still a grassroots approach,” said Tracey, and she credits that approach for its success.

Wood is a sustainable and renewable building material that sequesters carbon until it’s either burned or decomposed, so it continues to sequester carbon in a building, she noted.

She was also critical of the district’s decision to use metal painted to look like wood instead of wood for the Welcome to West Kelowna signs at either end of the municipality on Highway 97.

Not only is wood a sound environmental choice for building, it is also a local choice, so it has a lot going for it, she added.

“Wood is a natural choice for the green building movement,” agreed Thomson. “There’s lots of room for growth.”

Putting wood first in our construction is a top priority of the new forest sector strategy.

Second is an investment in silviculture and third, creating a globally-competitive, marketbased operating climate.

Innovation and diversification, supporting prosperous rural forest economies and partnering with First Nations are the other spokes of the wheel from the working roundtable on forestry, and part of the strategy.

JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS

MARY TRACEY, with Gorman Brothers Lumber, doesn’t hestitate to point out the beauty and environmental qualities of selecting wood as a construction material, which is now a priority of the government’s new forest sector strategy for B.C. No funds to support the strategy were mentioned.

And, NDP forests critic Norm MacDonald says, there is nothing new in the strategy.

“There’s no money or programs,” said MacDonald.

He claims that the ministry’s inventory data is completely out of date due to cutbacks in the ministry budget from a high of $30 million a few years ago to just $6 million today.

He blames the loss of 35,000 jobs in the for-

est industry in the last few years on the government, and notes that 70 mills have shut down.

In addition, the government continues to permit massive raw log exports instead of processing those logs here and creating jobs, he added.

Kelowna’s unemployment rate creeped up by a 0.6 per cent last month, from 8.2 per cent to 8.8 per cent, according to Statistic Canada’s latest numbers.

The uptick in joblessness in March over February, means about 8,900 locals are looking for work.

It may not be a significant increase but it does show Kelowna’s at odds with the rest of the country, which saw an improvement.

After months of stagnant, or even falling, employment, Canada’s economy has just had its biggest surge since before the last recession, adding 82,300 workers to the labour force in March.

That’s the biggest monthly jump since September 2008, just before the Canadian economy experienced the fallout from the U.S. credit crisis.

A kokanee fishery in Okanagan Lake has reopened permanently this month, after a closure in 1995 due to a crash in populations.

may catch five fish per day.

Kokanee numbers declined dramatically in the late 1990s, when fewer than three per cent of the number of spawning fish counted in the 1970s were found.

Fisheries stock assessment biologist Paul Askey of the natural resource operations ministry, said the reasons for the decline were complex and varied, but included disease issues, poor water management, a decline in lake nutrients, competition with an introduced shrimp and degradation of spawning habitat.

In recent years, numbers have improved and seasonal openings for kokanee angling have been added.

A 20-year action plan to investigate and try and solve some of the problems was instituted a dozen or so years ago. Since then, water management improvements have re-

duced mortality, as well as maintenance of spawning habitat and a mysis shrimp fishery has been instituted to reduce their numbers.

While abundance overall is similar now to that of the early 1990s, Askey noted that the recovery favours shore spawning stock over stream spawners.

Shore spawners tend to be smaller than stream spawning kokanee, so he warns anglers to expect to catch large numbers of the smaller kokanee in Okanagan Lake.

It would be irresponsible for anglers to release small kokanee and keep only the big ones because survival of released kokanee is much lower than other species of fish.

“They all taste good, so if you’re kokanee fishing, please just take them as they come and encourage others to do the same,” he said. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

RCMP release video of accused killer to jog memories In an attempt to jog memories about accused killer Matthew Foerster’s movements Oct. 31, 2011, Mounties have released photos and video footage they took following his arrest in Collingwood, Ont. In the brief clip from April 5, Foerster, 26, is

in custody after a being brought back to B.C. via RCMP Air Services.

The video can be seen on the Capital News website at www.kelownacapnews.com.

“Due to the recently released information regarding arrests made, inves-

tigators with the RCMP Southeast District Major Crimes Unit would like to hear from anyone who has not already spoken to investigators with information about any contact they had with Matthew Foerster on Halloween night 2011,” said Cpl

Dan Moskaluk in a news release. “With a release of his photo and recent video images today, we would like to hear from any other witnesses who may have information regarding that night.”

Investors don’t mind B.C.’s HST failure Tom Fletcher CONTRIBUTOR

Even with billion-dollar deficits to back out of the harmonized sales tax, Kevin Falcon is getting a warm reception as he makes the annual finance minister’s tour of major banks and bond rating agencies.

Reached in Toronto between stops in New York and Chicago, Falcon said Thursday’s AAA credit rating reports by Moody’s Investors Services and Standard and Poor’s show that B.C. continues to compare favourably to other jurisdictions emerging from the 2008-09 recession.

“In a world of great uncertainty, we’re part of a pretty elite, small club, a shrinking club of jurisdictions that enjoy the strong-

est possible credit rating,” Falcon said. “There is a lot of investment interest in British Columbia.”

B.C. started its fiscal year April 1 with a deficit expected to be $969 million, returning to a $154 million surplus by 201314 and a spring election.

“The province’s plan to balance its budget by 2013-14 is feasible given its track record of effective fiscal management,” Moody’s said in its credit rating report.

Falcon said B.C.’s growing Asia trade is looked on favourably by bankers and private investors, which he has lined up a series of meetings with this week.

They notice projected spending limited to two per cent overall, and a record of meeting budget targets, he said.

Proven formulas for those fed-up with the rat race

How Average Canadians Are Creating and Protecting Their Wealth...

Do you believe one person has the same chance of being wealthy as the next? Or do you honestly think that most people who end up rich, got that way because of special circumstances?

My name is Darren Weeks and I know from the bottom of my heart that everyone has the same chance. I am an average Joe. I grew up in a middle class family. I had no special breaks, and didn’t know any famous people who gave me my start. I definitely didn’t win any lottery.

But I have done very well for my age... ...and I have shown thousands of Canadians how to copy my formula for financial independence.

My company, the Fast Track Group, has been ranked among Canada’s Fastest Growing Companies for two straight years now. Last year, we finished 40th on PROFIT Magazine’s list. In 10 years, I have taken it from 5 employees in one tiny office, to over 100 employees and 12 offices. More than 350,000 Canadians have now attended Fast Track events. All our success has enabled us to support people that inspire us. The Fast Track Group is the title sponsor of Canada’s Luge team and we support them to the tune of over $1 million.

No, they took action and realized that... ...turbulent times like this are where most of the wealthiest 1% made their biggest gains.

One of my star students was a tradesperson who was fed up with trying to make ends meet every month. Rob Chaulk was a hard worker that knew his job wasn’t going to make life any easier. He also dabbled in some businesses along the way in the restaurant and towing business.

But he didn’t become financially independent until he mastered the money game. I was fortunate enough to be the one who showed him how. He has quit the trades, and now owns multiple businesses and has millions of dollars in cash-flow-positive real estate properties.

One simple shift in the way he thought about money, a solid action plan to move forward, and he now never again needs to worry about money or paying bills.

I personally grew up in a middle class family with no special advantages or opportunities.

The difference for me though was a significant desire to be and have more. It wasn’t about all the fancy toys... for me it was about putting an end to the time for money trap I saw everyone else falling for. It was about seeing more of the world. It was about raising a young family in an environment that was positive about money, and the opportunities abound that created more money for those with initiative.

I immersed myself in the “Rich Dad” philosophies, and ultimately worked directly with Robert Kiyosaki to teach Canadian’s these same philosophies and how to take control of their financial future. I began investing in real estate. I started up businesses that supported my new money mindset. I tried to find others in Canada who I could talk to about this drive I had.

It was difficult to find people who thought about money like I did...

Don’t get me wrong, there were lots of successful Canadians out there, but I found it difficult to get them to sit with me and talk one-on-one about their own strategies for wealth creation.

So I sought out those who wanted greater wealth in their own life.

“The difference for me though was a significant desire to be more and have more.”

Darren Weeks

On top of providing FREE financial education to all Canadians, my company is able to offer better returns and tax savings to our investors thanks to our partnerships with multinational Companies. We are not some “fly-by-night corporation.”

All this growth has put me in the spotlight – I’m a contributor for Canadian Real Estate Magazine and made countless TV appearances on stations such as BNN, CTV and City TV. It’s been a heck of a ride. Now it’s time to teach you how I did it, and how you can do it too!

My greatest pride in all of this?

Seeing my clients, students and peers succeeding and thriving in the current economy. They didn’t listen to the masses and lock themselves up in a dark basement, while waiting for things to “turn around”.

Then I systematized what I had personally done to create wealth, and shared it with them for their own personal use. Those who had the drive to follow my system, ended up making millions. They became friends. They became peers. They became my inner circle mastermind partners. And they encouraged me to take my system bigger and share it with more people in Canada.

So I did. I have spoken to thousands of people from every corner of our great country. I shared with them my formula for creating wealth, starting from nothing, or starting with a solid base. My system worked for those who applied it. I travelled far too much and started to burn myself out.

I stopped traveling and started leveraging.

I built a team of 100 of the most passionate people in the country. They helped me get my message out to those who wanted out of the rat race. We pulled in our best students and success stories, and had them share their own examples on the road.

The best part? My STAR student will pass on the knowledge to you.

The formula that I taught continued to work for others who I had never personally taught.

My system worked for anyone who understood it and applied it, whether or not I taught it to them directly or through my students.

Is it your turn to master the money mindset? ...Most people are broke, and will stay that way for the rest of their life.

My company has organized an event coming up in your city and we would like you to join us. There is no cost to attend, but you do need to commit to being there. My team is here to make sure you get the tools you need for creating the independence you crave.

Give me 3 hours of your time and I’ll give you powerful strategies that are guaranteed to change your life.

Find out how to get out of bad debt and into wise investments. Discover how anyone, no matter how dire their circumstances, can go from rags to riches in 5 years or less. My students and business partners are prime examples of how you can start with nothing and build a very healthy investment portfolio and business in 5 years or less.

The best part? We don’t just show you what to do... you get the formula to go as fast as you like, and can handle. Most seminars share the what – not the how. We show you both, with specific examples, formulas and resources to get you there on your own pace.

Don’t go it alone! Bring a friend or family member with you and enjoy the journey to wealth as a team. When you reserve your seat at this event, just mention who you want to bring and we will also give you a CD that sells for $39.95.

Nothing good is ever FREE... right? Wrong. I know you may be sceptical because we aren’t charging you for this event. Think about this.

Each one of my wealthiest students and clients started off at a free event just like this. They heard about an event just like this put on by my company. They attended and absorbed every ounce of information shared, and took MASSIVE ACTION. Each of them is now financially independent and able to live life on their own terms.

What should you do next? Pick up your phone and dial 1-877-742-4236 or visit our website at www.BCFastTrack.ca and reserve your seat there. Find one or more friends or family members who want out of the rat race like you do... and get them a seat booked as well.

Last? Don’t let anyone discourage you or get in your way. Real independence starts when you learn to ignore all the negative people in your life who don’t want you to succeed. Make sure you show up, take lots of notes, and immediately start putting these ideas into action.

If I can show completely unknown individuals how to become financially independent in 5 years or less... why can’t you? This is the real deal and I have gone from $0 to $100 million in revenues in just 10 years using these strategies... my students are proof that my techniques work everywhere, for anyone who is willing to take action.

Stop what you are doing right now and get your seat booked. Dial 1-877-742-4236 or visit our website at www.BCFastTrack.ca and reserve your seat there.

PS: Don’t be that person that has everything it takes to live free of financial worry, yet chooses to follow the path of financial devastation. There is a way for you to start creating the lifestyle you want, right here and now. The definition of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results!” Your success demands an investment of your time and money... and I am handing you a grand opportunity to improve your odds of success many times over. Join us for an incredible journey – with a proven way to make 2012 the year you’ve always wanted.

Consider the cost of using up ecosystems

I

t’s National Wildlife Week in Canada, yet probably the biggest threat to wildlife continues to be loss of habitat—a preventable threat.

Without suitable habitat for wildlife, ultimately there won’t be any left.

The best thing we can do to conserve our wildlife resource is to preserve some wild places for wild critters to live.

The larger the critter, the larger the habitat must be to adequately protect it.

In other words, bears and moose require vast tracts of wild land in order to survive, but chipmunks and mice can probably manage with a little less.

Obviously, if you protect habitat for those larger creatures, some would be preserved for the smaller ones.

However, different species have different requirements when it comes to habitat, so conserving a diversity of habitat types is essential to ensure a diversity of species survive.

In the past week or so, I’ve heard the phrase “ecosystem goods and services’ used repeatedly, but it’s a new term to me, even though the concept is not.

A new report by Nancy Olewiler, director of the SFU School of Public Policy calls for a full costing of the consequences of production and consumption on the natural environment.

Markets have failed to fully price ecosystem goods and services, she contends.

Ecosystem goods and services are the flow of inputs from natural capital that are used, along with produced-capital and labour, to produce and sustain the economy’s goods and services and our well-being. She points out that the full impact of

TRAIL MIX

Judie Steeves using these natural resources is rarely if ever factored into productivity.

Market prices need to be adjusted to reflect not only their direct costs, but also their impact on the country’s natural capital, she says.

Projects at the municipal and provincial level must adopt the idea of full-cost pricing on contaminants in order to conserve natural resources such as fossil fuels, minerals, forests, fish and soils, as well as environmental resources such as the atmosphere, water, land and ecosystems.

For instance, she notes that generally water prices are a reflection of the cost of delivering it, not the cost of water withdrawals on ecosystems.

That can result in a loss of biodiversity, impacts on drainage, storm runoff and depletion of both surface and groundwater.

In the end, the cost will be in our attempts to re-store or re-construct natural infrastructure after we’ve destroyed it.

And, very often, those restoration attempts will be inadequate anyway, because few of us have any idea of the complexity of the natural systems we destroy, whether it’s a wetland or a forest— much less the capability of re-creating them.

So, perhaps it would serve us better to plan ahead and consider how we can operate without destroying natural systems in the first place.

Check out a play at Okanagan Festival The Okanagan Zone of Theatre B.C. will hold its 2012 Okanagan Festival in Armstrong from May 5 to 12.

The festival features seven plays in seven days, two workshops, daily adjudication sessions and nightly greenroom celebrations.

And, perhaps we should consider the cost of ecosystem goods and services in everything we build and do, instead of ignoring it.

Just some thoughts, for National Wildlife Week.

Habitat for Humanity aims to help local single mother Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Life hasn’t been easy for Star Mengede.

The West Kelowna single mother has had to declare bankruptcy, deal with divorce, and suffer from permanent injuries as a result of a car accident that wasn’t her fault.

On top of that, Mengede struggles to keep a roof over the heads of her two special

needs children.

“She’s spending her income right now on affordable, accessible housing,” said Jacki Wlodarczyk, resource development officer with Habitat for Humanity Kelowna.

“About 90 per cent of her income is spent just to put a roof over her kids’ heads.”

For these reasons, Habitat for Humanity Kelowna is looking to give Mengede a bit of a break.

Habitat is teaming with Accent Homes to build a modular home for Mengede. Creative Mobility will ensure that the home is completely wheelchair accessible.

But, according to Wlodarczyk, the home is not a handout.

“We finance a no-interest mortgage that’s based on what the family can afford to pay. Then, all of the mortgage payments go into a revolving fund to build the next Habitat

home,” said Wlodarczyk.

“It’s not a handout, it’s a hand up.”

Habitat is looking to raise $125,000 to make it possible to have the home built for Mengede.

In order to raise funds and awareness, Habitat is hosting a family event on Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., at 1680 Ross Rd. in West Kelowna, directly across from the Bylands Nursery.

“Saturday is just an event to introduce the family to the community and let the community know about our project and what they can do to support us.”

The family event will also feature a bouncy castle, “monster” vehicles, a barbecue and several other activities. Several West Kelowna councillors are also expected to attend.

Habitat’s travelling penny jar will also be on display at

Saturday’s event.

“Habitats across Canada have put out a pledge to raise 690 million pennies. Ten million pennies will build one Habitat home; our goal in Kelowna is to raise 10 million pennies.”

ntario brain reHEALING searchers are MINDS pooling their data in a cooperative initiative that could lead to quicker advancements in our understanding of many brain conditions.

Paul I was excited to read Latimer about a new searchable database being set up by the Ontario Brain Institute. Scientists from across the province will input all of the patient data from their studies into this central database so the information will be available for other researchers to search and compare.

The database, dubbed Brain CODE, cost $1 million to start up and is being run out of a computing lab at Queen’s University in Kingston Ontario. It will function similarly to an Internet search engine but will allow researchers to sort through a lot of very complicated information to find links, patterns and similarities between various brain conditions.

Sharing information is a cornerstone of scientific research and it is great to see technology being used to find innovative ways to do this more efficiently. The more quickly and completely we can cooperate, the more dramatic our advancements will likely be.

For now, this research database will be gathering data from labs in Ontario, but those at the Ontario Brain Institute say they hope it will expand and grow as it develops.

Data gathered for this database will be non-identifying so does not pose a privacy risk for individuals whose information is being shared among the scientific community.

Not only does a database such as this one have the potential to increase the speed of research, development of potential new treatments, and improve access to information about brain disorders, but the sheer volume of data could be useful in discovering connections between disorders we don’t yet understand.

There are many brain disorders that seem to overlap or share similar pathologies and the more information we can gather and compare from more patients, the sooner we will be able to unlock these mysteries.

Some of the areas I’m particularly interested in hearing more about include possible connections between late onset depression and Alzheimer’s disease and apparent similarities between schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Of course many other brain disorders will also be covered within this database and a couple of the ones mentioned in an Ontario Brain Institute news release include epilepsy and autism.

I certainly hope the scientific community gets excited about this initiative and helps it reach its potential by actively participating and sharing data. The brain is one of the final frontiers in medicine and time will tell what new discoveries, treatments or insights are gained by this endeavour.

Officials at the UFC also continue to be high on the 22-year-old MacDonald, as evidenced by his spot on the card for UFC 145 in Atlanta next week. MacDonald (12-1 overall, 3-1 in the UFC) will face England’s Che Mills in the co-main event at UFC 145 in Atlanta on April 21.

“I knew I belonged in

the UFC after the Carlos Condit fight,” explained MacDonald, speaking of his only loss, a fight that earned fight of night honours at UFC 115. “After that I felt a little more experienced and comfortable.”

At 6-foot and 170 pounds, MacDonald has been pegged for mixed martial arts greatness almost since he took up the sport at 14-years-old, training in Kelowna with Toshido Fighting Arts.

After signing a fivefight deal with the UFC in 2011, MacDonald has lived up to the hype, get-

ting raves from the UFC for his performance.

All the attention hasn’t fazed the calm welterweight, who now trains with Tristar out of Montreal, the same training group that Canadian legend Georges St. Pierre trains with.

“I think I got a lot of attention fast when I got to the UFC because of how I performed and my age,” said MacDonald, who is still the fourth youngest fighter in the UFC. “I was getting a lot of attention but I was prepared for it. Every fight has been increasing the amount

of attention I’m getting from fans and media. I’m still comfortable with it. I know it’s just a matter of time before I’m fighting for the title and there is no added pressure.”

MacDonald now lives and trains in Montreal but hasn’t forgotten where he came from. The Quesnel born and Kelowna-raised fighter keeps in close touch with his former coach David Lea at Toshido and credits the Kelowna club for getting him his start in the sport.

“It was very important in my youth that I started training with David,” said

MacDonald. “I give him all the credit in the world.

He gave me an understanding of mixed martial arts and taught me how to apply the techniques and to bring it all together in one package. He had a major influence on my mindset and still does. He made the me the fighter and the person I am today.”

And that fighter and person is one that the UFC has pegged as one of its rising stars.

Perhaps it is his honesty, his steely resolve and confidence that makes MacDonald an attractive

fighter in the UFC. After losing to Condit, a bruised and battered MacDonald told a live TV audience he just got his butt whipped but he would be back. MacDonald then followed his first loss with a win over Mike Guymon in a first round submission.

And now he is set for his biggest fight, hitting the cage just before the main event at the Atlanta UFC card against Che Mills, an English fighter with a 14-4 MMA record.

Instead of focussing on who he is stepping into the cage with, MacDon-

ald, now nicknamed Ares, prefers to look inward heading into a fight.

“I don’t like to do too much research on guys I am fighting,” he said.

“I know very little about him. In all my fights I like to train myself and get myself to my peak performance and just adjust when I get into the cage.

I just like to react to what is coming. The same as in life, I like to live in the moment.”

That next moment for Rory MacDonald will take place on live Pay Per View at UFC 145 in Atlanta next weekend.

SPORTS ▼ CANADA WEST

Immaculata’s Gini signs on with UBCO Heat basketball Dario Gini will have a little piece of UBC Okanagan basketball history to call his own.

The 6-foot-2 point guard from Immaculata has signed on with the Heat men’s team for the 2012-13 season, becoming the first Kelowna-bred player to join the program since UBCO joined the Canada West conference last year.

Gini looks forward to lacing them up for the Heat next season and embraces the opportunity to play at home.

“It’s awesome that my friends and family will be able to see me play,” said Gini.

“I don’t think there will be any extra pressure (from being a hometown recruit).”

The pressure will likely come from the extreme jump in quality of play Gini will face as he moves from the A level in in high school to Canada West, the strongest conference

of university basketball in Canada.

“I’m excited and it should be fun,” said Gini.

“I’m looking forward to it and to improving my game by taking on this challenge.”

Gini has been a dominant player in high school, leading the Immaculata Mustangs for the last three seasons.

In his Grade 10 year he was named co-MVP on the senior team and then won the team MVP this past year as a senior.

Gini also led his team to a pair of provincial medals in 2012 when the Mustangs captured bronze in both the B.C. A championship and the B.C. Catholics, a championship tournament comprised mostly of AA schools.

Dario considers himself a “pass first point guard” that will contribute to the team with his ball handling, passing and his perimeter shooting.

At this year’s provincials, Gini knocked in 19 threes, just two short of the tournament record.

This was highlighted in his 41-point double overtime performance in the team’s semi-final loss to St. Ann’s of Kamloops. His performance that weekend earned him a first team tournament all-star.

‘‘

I DON’T THINK THERE WILL BE ANY EXTRA PRESSURE (FROM BEING A HOMETOWN RECRUIT).

Dario Gini

For the season Gini averaged 20 points per game, with five rebounds and six assists per contest, while dropping an average of three threes per

game, topped by a seasonhigh of eight in the provincial semi-final.

Gini tore his ACL last January and has worked hard to get back into shape. In the process of training with Randy Goodman and the staff at Pinnacle Elite, Dario has found a love for the process of strengthening and building the human body and will enter the Human Kinetics program at UBC’s Okanagan campus this September, with the long range goal of one day becoming a trainer himself.

This summer, Gini will play with the Junior Heat U17 team and continue to spend time at Pinnacle Elite, as he wants to “train hard and hopefully get a bit bigger and quicker.”

Dario is the son of longtime Kelowna basketball coach and the Heat’s player development and recruitment coach, Dino Gini.

Kelowna duo to play for Team B.C. Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

He works hard and is just beginning to understand how good he can be.”

Tre Mason, 17, moved to Kelowna from Victoria three years ago and spent two seasons with the Pursuit of Excellence program.

This past season, he played defense for the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Kelowna Chiefs.

Mason, whose First Nations ancestry consists of Gitxsan and Heiltsuk on his dad’s side, and Kwakwaka’wakaw on his mom’s side, is looking forward to competing alongside his peers in Saskatoon.

“I’m very proud of my background and my heritage and I’m happy to be able to celebrate that at the (national aboriginal championship),” said Mason, who had seven points in 35 regular season games with

the Chiefs. “I’ve played in some smaller aboriginal tournaments, but nothing quite like this. Not a lot of my family plays hockey, so it’s nice to be able to play in this tournament for them, too.”

With the Chiefs this season, Mason impressed his coaches with his steady improvement and willingness to learn.

“He went from a rookie with lots to learn at the beginning of the season to a key defenseman at the end who played a key role in our run in the playoffs,” said Chiefs assistant coach Grant Sheridan.

“He is very strong and sees the ice very well. Tre always works hard and is eager to learn.”

Mason, Beatty and Team B.C. will open the National Aboriginal Hockey Championships Monday, May 7 against Manitoba.

RAISING AWARENESS, SUPPORTING RESEARCH

Adam Beatty and Tre Mason have plenty in common.

Both are passionate about hockey. And both are immensely proud of their aboriginal heritage.

Those two elements will merge for the two local players next month at the National Aboriginal Hockey Championships in Saskatoon.

Beatty and Mason were named recently to Team B.C. for the NAHC May 6 to 12, which showcases the top midget and bantam-aged aboriginal players from across the country.

Beatty, a forward who had 47 points last season with the Kelowna midget Rockets tier 1 team, is Metis with Cree ancestry.

He was named to Team B.C. following an

evaluation camp earlier this month in Merritt.

For Beatty, representing his province while celebrating his heritage is the opportunity of a lifetime for the 16-year-old from Kelowna.

“I’m pretty pumped about it,” said Beatty, a Grade 11 student at Immaculata Regional School. “I’m proud to represent my background, it’s a big part of who I am. It’ll also be a great experience to play for Team B.C. against all the top young aboriginal players in the country.”

Kelowna midget coach Eric Blais said Beatty is just beginning to come into his own as a player.

“Adam is a very responsible two-way hockey player with great hands and a natural scoring touch,” said Blais. “He sees the ice well and has high hockey intelligence.

Raiders lost key veterans in off-season Lacrosse from A28 compensate with a better all-round game.

“I don’t know if overall we’ll be as talented a group, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be a tight group and play as a team,” said Manning. “Scoring could be a question mark, but if we work hard and play solid defense, then there’s no reason why we can’t be right there again.”

Manning will look to veterans Jacob Illichmann, Pho Heng, Luke

t

r t

Bailey and Joe Brown for leadership this season.

Defensive specialists Jordan Innes and Victor Wiens will also be vital to Kelowna’s success, added Manning.

Veteran goaltender Graham Cousins will start the season the sidelines with an injury, but the Raiders expect newcomer Ryan Brabender will competently fill the void in the meantime.

“For us to win, what has to stay the same as the past is excellent goaltend-

ing,” Manning said.

All goaltenders in TOSLL will have a little more net to cover this sea-

son. The league has widened the nets by six inches, from 4’ to 4’6”.

As for the other teams in the league Manning expects, as usual, competition to be stiff.

“We’ll see parody in the league, like always” said Manning. “We’ve won four of the last five titles, but it’s never been a cakewalk.”

The Raiders will play their home opener Friday, April 27 at Memorial Arena against the Vernon Royals.

SPORTS ▼ SWIMMING

Olympic trials a ‘great experience’ for Ryan As Chalene Ryan’s swimming career and education winds down this spring at Northern Arizona University, the West Kelowna product had one more opportunity to swim alongside her Canadian peers.

Ryan was in Montreal late last month for the Canadian Olympic trials where he competed in the 50, 100, and 200 freestyle as well as the 100 backstroke.

“I’m so happy I went,” said Ryan, 21, who will graduate from the NAU Lumberjacks program with a degree in marketing next month. “It was one of the greatest experiences of my life and I feel so lucky to be able to experience something like that. I feel like it’s an accumulation of the last four years of being in college and being a Lumberjack, and all of that has helped me get to where I am now.”

Ryan’s best result at the trials came in the 200 free as she swam a personal best 2:11.02 and

broke Sarah Mackay’s girls 15-and-over Liquid Lightning Swim Club record from 2009.

Ryan was able to compete in the trials based on qualifying times achieved this year.

‘‘ IT’S SUCH AN AMAZING ATMOSPHERE. Chalene Ryan

While meets in Wall Aquatic Center—the NAU swimming facility in Flagstaff, AZ.—are swam in short-course meters and most other collegiate pools utilize short-course yards, the Olympic trials were competed on longcourse meters, providing an extra challenge for the NAU Olympic hopeful.

LIQUID LIGHTNING and Northern Arizona University swimmer Chalene Ryan set a new personal best in the 200 freestyle last month at the

ea.

the month following the WAC Championships.

Ryan also competed in Olympic trials prior to the 2008 Beijing games before coming to NAU, but said the training and experiences she’s had as a member of the Lumberjacks made this meet a completely different experience.

“For me it was a lot different because it was pretty much my last competitive meet ever and it was just a totally different atmosphere,” said Ryan, a longtime member of the Liquid Lightning Swim Club in West Kelowna. “It was a lot more serious and I had more of a purpose.

It’s way different than anything we ever experience here when you are competing for your country.”

For Ryan, the meet was likely her last competitive racing before she completes her degree and returns home to Canada, though her passion for the sport was brought to a whole new level following the excitement of the trials.

“At this point I’m going to take a bit of a break from swimming so it was kind of hard and really emotional,” she said.

“Trials for a lot of people are an emotional roller coaster and it kind of was

for me. I had to take everything in stride and I’m just proud of everything I’ve done.”

Though she was far from Flagstaff, with the Canadian trials taking place in Montreal, Ryan said she could feel the support of the teammates and coaches.

“It’s nice to have not only teammates but real true friends supporting you,” Ryan said.

“There were only four people from my club team that went, so you bond over that but there’s only so much support four people can give you compared to a whole team.

At conference everyone

is on deck and everyone is cheering and that type of energy is just not the same when the team isn’t there.”

While the team camaraderie may have been absent, witnessing the joy and elation that comes from qualifying for the Olympics was a great sight for the NAU swimmer.

“Even if you aren’t in the final and don’t know all the people swimming, you still are just so excited,” said Ryan. “It’s such an amazing atmosphere and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I got goose bumps after every single race.”

in 2011 indicated that growth in the goose population had leveled off, but Hagmeier would still like to see more results.

“Preventing the dramatic population growth that would have occurred is an exceptional accomplishment, and one that the participating communities should be lauded for having the foresight to manage,” she said.

“However, I hope continued addling, progressive management and partnerships with additional jurisdictions will decrease the Okanagan goose population.”

Egg addling involves shaking eggs or coating them with non-toxic biodegradable food-grade corn oil within 14 days of incubation to make them non-viable.

The U.S. Humane Society supports this egg addling technique. Once addled, eggs are returned to the nest.

Geese continue to incubate until they realize the eggs will not hatch. At this point, it is generally too late in the year to produce more eggs. Adults are not harmed and will continue with their regular life cycle.

During the past five seasons, approximately 6,600 eggs have been prevented from hatching through this minimally invasive approach.

Taking into account natural mortality of young through predation or nest failure, that is equivalent to about 5,000 fewer geese in the valley and all their potential young.

The Okanagan Valley goose management program is now in its sixth year of egg addling to control the number of Canada geese in public spaces.

Trained contractors have been searching for pairs and nesting sites and hope to complete the addling program by the end of May. “Last year, field crews located and addled 1,308 eggs from 274 nests between Vernon and Osoyoos,” said project coordinator Kate Hagmeier.

“The multi-year project aims to reduce the population of resident Canada geese to a more manageable level, and reduce large concentrations of geese in heavily used public areas.

In addition to addling, aerial surveys conducted

Key to the success of the program, is finding new nests. The public is asked to report lone geese, pairs of geese, or nest locations on private or public land by emailing coordinator@okanagangooseplan.com or calling 1-877-943-3209.

Information about the program is available at okanagangooseplan.com.

The public is asked to keep away from goose nests and to avoid touching the eggs; a special permit is required to perform egg addling, which has been secured from the federal government allowing crews from EBB Environmental Inc. and Wise Wildlife Control to addle goose eggs on public and private lands with the owners’ permission. In the case of private lands, an authorization form is available on the program website.

Interior Health continues to encourage local governments throughout the Okanagan to reduce the risk of recreational water contamination from sources such as geese.

A swimming notification program was implemented by Interior Health in 2006. Since then, no beach advisories have had to be issued due in part to the combination of activities to protect beaches and beach water areas.

NEWS ▼ NHL PLAYOFFS

Bold prediction sees Canucks getting a scare from Kings I took part in the 375th annual Media Hockey Playoff Pool Tuesday night and already feel sorry for those poor inkstained wretches and microphone maniacs.

I sort of feel guilty about taking their money because a know-it-all, hockey guru such as me should have more class than take money from such inept urchins.

It is akin to taking candy from a baby, though in the case of media folks substitute candy for beer.

In a desperate effort to handicap me from winning (yet again), the swindlers in charge of the hockey pool (no names mentioned) made sure I picked last in the pool.

Since there was little left in the pool to chose from ,I wisely went with the underdog teams and am now prepared to clean up with my “upset” club.

•••

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge Speaking of hockey pools and overcoming the odds—here is my NHL first round predictions.

Everyone knows that to win the Stanley Cup you need a stud goalie, a puck moving defenceman and two solid scoring lines.

However, with today’s NHL parody and gruelling schedules, what really wins a cup now is a solid third and/or fourth line and reliable backup net minder.

It’s a game of attrition now. Who can physically survive until the final series? With that in mind, I’m calling for a few up-

sets this year.

New York Rangers vs. Ottawa—Rangers in seven.

Boston vs. Washington—Bruins in six.

Pittsburgh vs. Philadelphia—the winner of this series could go all the way. Pundits predict Pittsburgh in five or six, however, I will call this the upset in the East with Philadelphia winning in overtime in game seven.

New Jersey vs. Florida—Devils in six.

Vancouver vs. L.A.— Canucks will get a good scare but rally to win in six.

St. Louis vs. San Jose—Blues in six Nashville vs. Detroit—this one is a real tough call. Nashville has little up front, however it does have Pekka Rinni goal while Detroit netminder Jimmy Howard has been struggling. The Predators in seven.

••• Further in hockey, like many other Canadians, I’m still shaking my head in disgust that sexual predator (and former junior hockey coach) Graeme James only received two years in prison for his repeated sexual assaults on multiple young male hockey players under his care.

Absurd.

James was a trusted adult mentor who continuously sexually abused Theo Fleury, Sheldon Kennedy, and numerous other young players during their fledging junior hockey careers.

His assaults took place for more than a decade and were not only an abuse of power but trust.

It is impossible to comprehend how many lives James ruined, how many careers he trashed, or psychological damage he inflicted.

It’s equally shocking James managed to get away with his heinous activity for so long, even though numerous adults connected to the league suspected things were not right.

None of his victims believes a two-year sentence is remotely stiff enough. Once again, there is a collective Canadian sigh and shake of the heads.

Jmes deserves a much lengthier sentence and this decision does nothing to encourage the public’s faith or trust in our seemingly inept justice system.

••• On a positive note (try middle C) Okanagan roots/country music fans should mark May 5 on their calendars as “busy having fun” because that’s when The Cruzeros are having a musical reunion.

The event marks the band’s first public concert

in two years.

Freedom Ride, organized by Metro Community, is planned to raise funds and increase awareness regarding the marginalized groups within our city.

Metro Community is a faith-based organization that effectively ministers to Kelowna’s street community.

Believe me when I say they are truly candles in the night. These folks get it.

So it makes sense that my dearest of friends— Curtis Tulman, Barry Mathers, and Gary Smyth—will be connecting with drummer Jay Terrence and others for an hour or so of musical magic.

The popular group is known for its many benefit concerts and support of great causes during their 25-years together.

I cannot wait.

Appropriately enough, the awareness event will be held downtown in the parking lot at Queensway and Water Street, right behind the Metro Central building.

Freedom Ride begins with a motorcycle trip along the northern loop around Okanagan Lake to Vernon and return.

Lunch will be served in the parking lot at noon when the riders return, with the music to start soon after.

Two other acts will perform in the afternoon—Joyful Door and the Graham Ord Group.

TRAVEL ▼ ISRAEL

Getting down and dirty during an archeological dig vacation Mauricio Gutierrez CONTRIBUTED

KHIRBETQEIYAFA, Israel—4 a.m. My eyes feel heavy. Today is my second day of digging.

I’m in Israel for a weeklong archaeological dig—not your regular vacation, but one that brought fulfillment and surprisingly more rest than I’ve gotten sitting on the beach.

Richard Stamps, a professor of anthropology, and Mike Pytlik, a special lecturer of archaeology and Jewish studies at Michigan’s Oakland University, each year lead a group of students on a three-week archaeological dig and tour of Israel. Pytlik invited me to go along as a volunteer for a week.

I always have been interested in ancient history and archaeology. Pytlik

explained that this vacation wouldn’t have much relaxing, sightseeing or downtime. It would be dusty and messy, and accommodations wouldn’t include the boutique hotels I normally favor.

The sense of adventure and the chance to learn was enough for me to sign up. I filled out an application, included a $50 check and sent it to professor Yosef Garkinfel of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, a renowned archeologist and director of the Khirbet Qeiyafa site, our destination.

It sits above the Elah Valley, the same valley where the Bible says David and Goliath had their famous face-off. It is believed to be the ancient city of Sha’arayim, an Israelite walled city from the Iron Age that was part of the kingdom of David.

5 a.m. We’re on the bus, heading toward Khirbet Qeiyafa from our nearby hostel. The air is chilly.

As the sun rises, I can feel the heat embracing me.

We prepare to work for the next seven hours with picks, hoes and buckets, hauling dirt out of our square—a space that measures 5 by five meters and is delineated by sand bags and ropes.

With each shovelful, we step back in history. First, we uncover layers from the Byzantine period, then the Hellenistic, and finally we hit our “floor.” The time machine stops and we discover hundreds of pieces of pottery from the Iron Age— dating to the 10th century BC. I find a piece of what used to be a jug, handles, shards of things people once used in their daily lives. What’s loose gets thrown in a bucket. What’s interred and seems of importance is left in place to be photographed, documented and eventually dug out with care.

I learn how to use a trowel to dig out pottery, how to be efficient with the pick. I also learn to hydrate often. The intense sun is relentless.

7 a.m. We move to a tent where a small snack is served with coffee.

It’s time to chat and goof around with the students I adopted as my family for the trip. We go back to this tent every two hours for

The schedule paces our days: Dig. More dust.

Sun and more pottery.

Work stops for the metal detector, which uncovers coins and other metal objects, including a blade and a Byzantine fibula (pin). I hold the fibula and admire the nearly rubbed-off filigree decoration. I have seen objects like this before _ but only at a museum. This, I can touch with my hands.

That connection with history, the excitement of being part of the dig, keeps me going.

11:15 a.m. Pytlik shows me around the site to explain how the city walls were reinforced by something called casemate. It’s basically a row of houses built against the city walls to make the structure stronger. I can see what used to be walls, rooms, hallways and gates formed by huge boulders.

We find an oil lamp, walls of what seems to be a house, drain channels.

To the untrained eye like mine, it’s an expanse of rocks.

But to the experts, these things have specific meanings and functions.

They figure out what’s not original to the Iron Ageera city and tear down walls to uncover the original structures, and determine the purposes of a room and how it may have looked back in the Iron Age. Noon. Buses take us back to the hostel for lunch and some rest.

Even if I wanted to walk away, I would be miles from the nearest highway. There’s nowhere to go—not a convenience store or gas station or anyplace where a bit of civilization might offer some comfort.

The prospect of a nap makes me gobble down my not-so-great food and head back to the room, shower and wash away the dust.

For a few hours, we have downtime before we begin to wash the pottery we’ve found.

4:30 p.m. We gather around buckets of water that contain the findings from the previous day; volunteers scrub off the

dirt to uncover inscriptions or decorations that can help to identify the provenance. At first, most of our discoveries look the same to me.

But by the last day of the trip, I can tell which pieces are from the Iron Age and which are Hellenistic. This doesn’t make me an expert, of course, but I was quite proud of my progress.

6:30 p.m. Evening lectures are scheduled, but by evening my brain shuts down and my stomach starts growling; dinner is close. I have no energy left, but still we gather every night for a few minutes to chat and decompress, discussing what to expect the following day.

OU students spend three weeks of intense study and hands-on work in Israel from mid-June to early July. Volunteers may join the dig at any point during the season.

This exhausting and unconventional vacation comes with many rewards —knowledge and meeting people passionate about what they do. It’s an experience that is worth repeating. I’m saving vacation time to try it again this summer.

Santa Fe hotel celebrates culture of nearby Chimayo village Paula Felps CONTRIBUTOR

As one of those artistic cities that mashes together a variety of different—and often unlikely cultures and styles, Santa Fe is the kind of place that you can visit a dozen times and create a different experience each time.

One of its newer additions is Hotel Chimayo de Santa Fe, a boutique hotel owned by Heritage Hotels & Resorts that celebrates the history and culture of Chimayo, a tiny historic community in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. About 30 miles from Santa Fe, this village was instrumental in helping the hotel preserve the authenticity of the village’s culture, and in return the hotel donates a portion of its profits to the village.

Just a block away from the shopping and restaurants of Historic Santa Fe Plaza, Hotel Chimayo immerses guests into Chimayo’s rich culture.

In fact, the hotel does such an excellent job of presenting the Chimayo

culture that many guests choose to visit the community. The hotel provides maps for self-guided tours, as well as offering arrangements for group tours and personalized guided tours.

The village of Chimayo is a struggling agricultural community known for its weavers, art, sacred sites and flavorful cuisine. Each of those aspects is well represented at Hotel Chimayo de Santa Fe, and from the moment you walk through the heavy wooden doors, you are immersed in the magic of Chimayo.

The lobby is richly decorated with handmade artwork from local artisans, creating a colorful entry into a new cultural experience.

Throughout the hotel, original craftsmanship is evident. More than 70 Chimayo artists worked to lend an authentic feel, contributing hand-carved furniture, custom weavings and the handmade crosses that are clustered above the fireplace in each room.

Together, these well-

thought-out appointments create a comforting, rustic feel that embraces the community’s 17th-century roots while at the same time feeling fresh and new.

The hotel’s 56 rooms are off the open-air courtyard, which emulates the traditional Spanish plazas of New Mexico. Inside, suites are designed in subtle, subdued colors, using muted earth tones to carry out the theme.

Although the rooms

are spacious, such touches as banco seating around a wood-burning fireplace create a cozy environment.

Separate living areas in many of the suites make the rooms feel more like a small vacation home rather than a hotel suite—and the 10 deluxe king suites with refrigerator, microwave and wet bar only add to this vibe.

Beyond the rooms, the hotel offers even more ways to enjoy the culture

of Chimayo, and none is more enjoyable than the Low ’n Slow Lowrider Bar. Unlike any other bar you’ll visit, Low ‘n Slow celebrates the “lowrider” culture of New Mexico with details right out of the auto body shop that begin with a hostess stand adorned with the familiar flames often seen painted on lowriders. (To show its devotion to lowriders, there’s even an official city sign designating

“Lowrider Parking Only” in front of the bar.)

Light fixtures made from hubcaps, low-slung glass-topped tables made of chain steering wheels, and bright, upholstered bench seats that look like they came from the back seat of a Chevy set the stage for a delightfully unusual environment.

Bright, colorful artwork from the book Low ‘n Slow—Lowriding in New Mexico covers the walls, but the centerpiece

of the room is definitely the one-of-a-kind chandelier made from mufflers and hubcaps. Created for the bar by Carmilito Muffler Shop in Chimayo, it’s one of those attractions that make you stop and study them—regardless of your interest in cars.

Above the bar, Tia’s Cocina serves up authentic New Mexican cuisine breakfast through dinner, with a delicious and diverse menu created by chef Estevan Garcia.

54% of all non-profit and charitable organizations have no paid staff. (National Survey of Non-Profit & Voluntary Organizations, Statistic Canada, 2005) The top three reasons why Canadians volunteer are: 1) To make a contribution to their community; 2) The desire to make use of personal skills and experiences; 3) Having been personally affected by the cause. (Canadian Survey of Giving, Volunteering & Participating, 2007) Volunteering can help build self-esteem, develop life-long skills, strengthen community, and improve health. Harvard University research shows volunteering is a reflection of social connectedness that is strongly associated with the health of people in that community. (Volunteering & Healthy Aging Project, Volunteer Canada, 2009) Children and youth are more likely to become engaged citizens if they see someone they admire helping others, including their parents.

Exceptional Women- Extraordinary Hearts ~ THANK YOU! ~ The Look Good, Feel Better Workshop Volunteers address the appearance-related effects of all cancers affecting women. The 2 hour workshop brings together women with cancer and provides them with empowering skin care, hair alternatives and cosmetic information, all with caring support.

The Feel Good Room is a wonderful, supportive program for women experiencing hair loss during their treatments or in need of a breast prosthesis. Volunteers offer wigs-on-loan, turbans, head covers, scarves, breast prosthesis and lots of smiles and helpful information.

There are no charges for any of these services. Donations are welcome.

Spring into pesticide free living

Now that spring has arrived and Kelowna, residents are beginning to prepare their yards for summer.

Kelowna city will again be hosting free workshops to assist residents to make more environmentally friendly yard maintenance choices.

“Kelowna is restricted by a cosmetic pesticide bylaw, so it’s important to provide residents with the tools to make less toxic pest and weed control choices,” said Cathy Fuller, local gardening guru and workshop facilitator.

“Residents continue to provide overwhelming-

ly positive feedback about the workshops, which tells me we are providing a needed and welcomed service.”

Four pesticide-free workshops will be held this year, demonstrating natural yard care alternatives. Residents can register for one of these four

workshops: • Saturday, April 28 (10 a.m. to noon) • Saturday, May 26 (10 a.m. to noon) • Wednesday, June 13 (5 to 7 p.m.)

• Wednesday, September 12 (5 to 7 p.m.)

These hands-on workshops will explore how to

solve pest problems with natural products and provide biological alternatives to chemicals, including beneficial bugs such as nematodes. The sessions will end with a question-and-answer session.

Fuller has more than 25 years of landscape design and retail experience.

The workshops will be held at the EECO Centre, located in Mission Creek Regional Park.

To register for a workshop, visit kelowna.ca/environment and click on the Pesticide Free Workshop button, email pesticidefree@kelowna.ca, or call 250-469-8881.

MOTORING ▼ HONDA

The Civic Sedan Si is a performance car in disguise Neil Moore CONTRIBUTOR

Despite the drubbing from Consumer Reports, the Civic is still Canada’s top-selling car and has been for 14 years running.

Sure, you can’t entirely ignore the complaints about plasticky interiors, lack of steering feedback, longish stopping distances and body lean in corners, but keep in mind they tested only the LX —the second-lowest trim level. And not all reviewers agree with CR. Also consider that this knock hasn’t put a dent in sales, with Honda moving 55,090 Civics in 2011, and 14,281 in the first quarter of 2012.

The Si Sedan, my tester for the week, should dismiss at least some of these gripes.

As Honda’s four-door performance variant, it gets sport-tuned suspension, bigger brakes, tuned steering, and most importantly more power, making it a vastly different driving experience from lesser Civics.

One of the key Si upgrades for 2012 was swapping its high-strung 2.0litre inline four-cylinder—a screamer you could wind up to nearly 8,000 rpm—with a torquier 2.4-litre VTEC. I think it was an improvement, but not all enthusiasts agree, arguing the joy in driving the high-revving 2.0 litre was to let ‘er wail with every gear change, as it was the only way to hit the tiny sweet spot on this engine’s power curve.

It’s a delight in small doses, but one that can grow tiresome in daily driving. But with only 139 lb/ft of torque on tap, that’s what it takes to get the best from this mill.

Not so with the 2.4-litre, the same powerplant used in the Acura TSX. This 16-valve DOHC engine with iVTEC delivers 201 horses (up four from before) and more importantly, 170 lb/ ft of torque. This is an increase of 31 lb/ft, which comes on earlier with peak at 4,400 rpm versus 6,100 for its predecessor.

2011 LANCER SE

CONTRIBUTED

THE 2012 HONDA CIVIC SEDAN SI wears a few styling cues that distinguish it from other Civics, but the main differences are under the skin.

The Si’s potent 2.4-litre iVTEC four-cylinder with more accessible power (201 hp and 170 lb/ft of torque) is key among them.

With “intelligent” valve control (low valve lift at low rpms/high lift at high revs), reduced friction, a high-volume intake manifold and other

BIGGEST EVENT OF THE YEAR!

REAR SEAT passengers enjoy abundant leg and head

room, despite the rear-sloping roofline. Both seatbacks drop to increase the trunk’s 344-litre capacity.

▼ HONDA

New Civic gets several upgrades Honda from B1 power out of the curve, and you’ll also notice less wheelspin on exiting. Thanks to the limited-slip differential, once again found only on the Si, spirited driving is more fun than most front-drivers.

And as for body lean, I had no complaints with my tester, as its suspension benefits from higher spring rates, larger stabilizer bars and lower ride height than conventional Civics. And front and rear damper settings are sporttuned.

Despite the performance upgrades and increased power, the Si is rated at 10.0/6.4 L/100 km (city highway), which is an improvement over the previous model. But good luck hitting these numbers, because if you’re the kind of driver who would buy this car, you’re unlikely to be light on the pedal.

Still, I averaged around 9.0 litres/100 km during my week of driving.

Common to all Civics

is the two-tier instrument panel, carried over from the last model. It divides the display top and bottom with key information like speedo, fuel gauge and rev-limit indicator (Si only) above the steering wheel, and secondary info below. This puts the mostused instruments in the driver’s line of sight.

The Si’s rev-limit indicator, by the way, promises far more fun than the Eco Assist, common to all other Civics. It lights up sequentially as engine speed rises, and when the second last of six lights comes on, the engine is producing maximum power.

It’s great for timing your shifts.

Other performanceoriented features of the Si include well-bolstered fabric sports seats (with red stitching and Si badging), perforated leatherwrapped, tilt/telescopic steering wheel, aluminum shift knob with leather

trim and textured aluminum pedals.

Another is the power monitor, as part of the Civicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multi-info display (i-MID). Based on engine torque and rpm, it provides real-time information on engine output.

ItĎ&#x20AC;s great for those keeners who like to fine-tune their technique, but I favour keeping my eyes on the road.

Below the i-MID, my tester also included the standard-equipped, voiceactivated navigation system, which can provide turn-by-turn directions in the i-Mid screen above.

Overall, the interior includes an abundance of hard plastics, mostly black. I would have liked to see more soft-touch materials and a nicer mix of tones and textures.

But the Civic gets it

72

right in other areas, like comfortable seating with ample head and leg room both front and back. Rear 60/40 seats flop forward to increase the trunkĎ&#x20AC;s 344 litre capacity.

MSRP for the new Honda Civic Si is $25,990. Although thatĎ&#x20AC;s a huge premium over the base Civic ($14,990), you do get a lot for the extra $11K. In addition to all of the power and performance mods mentioned earlier, the Si includes 17-inch alloys, rear spoiler, power moonroof, air conditioning, Bluetooth and a seven-speaker, 360-watt AM/ FM/CD audio system with eight-inch subwoofer, speed-sensitive volume and steering wheel controls.

Sure, it has stiff competition in other sporty compacts like Mazdaspeed3, Lancer Ral-

liart and the three- and five-door Golf GTI, but all come in around $30K. Perhaps a more fair comparison would be the Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V (200 hp, 180 lb/ft). Without doing a detailed analysis, the Honda provides a few extras like nav, moonroof and limited-slip differential, which are extras on the Spec V. As for exterior styling, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m good with it.

The Civicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s steeply raked windshield, front spoiler and more aggressive grille complement the vehicleĎ&#x20AC;s wedge profile. Some complain that it lacks verve, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m good with Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small, incremental styling changes rather than going full-bore into the unknown.

Although Civic is Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales leader, the Si only makes up 4.5 per cent of Civic sales, making it a bit of a niche

vehicle. But it does represent what the company claims is at the heart of its engineering.

Over the years, Honda has pumped its racing heritage and the funto-drive character of its vehicles, and more than any other car in its lineup, except perhaps the Accord HFP (my next review), the Si embodies these qualities in spades.

Buick brings luxury to the compact market with the 2012 Verano Lorne Drury

Now GM is trying a similar approach with its Buick brand by modern-

CONTRIBUTOR

Probably the best way to change perceptions of an automotive brand is to manufacture products that people canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ignore.

General Motors has

izing its lineup and adding exciting new models in the past couple of years like the LaCrosse sedan and Enclave SUV. Before the resurgence, Buickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fortunes had been in decline due to the combination of an ageing cus-

tomer base and an ageing product lineup. Now Buick is breathing new life into the brand with its third new vehicle launch in as many years with the introduction of the compact Verano sedan.

In showrooms now,

the 2012 Verano is a fourdoor, five-passenger entry luxury sedan with four

trim levels, starting at an impressive $22,595. The top-line full leather model

prices out at $27,620.

MOTORING ▼ BUICK

Verano has quality of an ultra luxury car—quietness Buick from B5

than 60 per cent of the Verano’s structure is highstrength steel that helps eliminate squeaks and rattles because the body is stiffer.

Currently, an Ecotec 2.4-litre inline four-cylinder engine combined with a six-speed automatic transmission is the only power train offered on the Verano, but a 2.0-litre turbo with a six-speed manual is on the way for next year. The 2.4-litre engine delivers 180 hp and 171 lb/ft of torque.

The front-engine Verano is roughly the same size as the Chevrolet Cruze, built on the same Delta II platform. Other than that, this is an entirely different car, with all new sheet metal. It is built at GM’s Orion Assembly Plant in Michigan, where the new Chevy Sonic is manufactured.

While it is classified as a compact, the interior doesn’t feel small at all up front, although rear seat legroom is definitely at a premium.

The cabin has a decidedly upscale look and feel with lots of soft-touch materials, wood trim and metallic accents. We were told the seats are exclusive to the Verano, and they proved to be exceptionally comfortable and supportive after a day of driving.

Outside, the Verano features Buick’s signature

During a day spent driving the car from downtown Toronto north to the Muskoka area and back, one thing became evidently clear about the Verano—it was one of the quietest cars I have ever driven.

Normally, one would reserve comments like that for an ultra-luxury model, not a compact sedan like the Verano that starts in the low $20s. But Buick has gone to great pains to deliver what it calls “one of the quietest driving experiences in the industry.”

Engineers tried to replicate the hushed interior of the upmarket LaCrosse sedan and then went a few steps further to “quiet tune” components and systems.

There are a dozen noise reducing and noisecancelling technologies at work here— all accomplished without adding net weight to the car.

For example, the 5.4 mm thick acoustic-laminated windshield and 4.85 mm-thick acoustic laminated side window glass both minimize wind noise.

In addition, acoustic insulation material has been added throughout the car, while underbody paneling helps lower wind and road-surface noise, while at the same time improving fuel efficiency. More

waterfall grille, 17-inch forged alloy wheels and blue translucent projector beam headlamps.

The styling is conservative, yet flowing with nice use of chrome accents including the traditional Buick ‘ventiports’ on the fenders.

My driving partner

THE NEW BUICK Verano is the brand’s first entry into the compact segment with prices starting at $22,595.

price, the Verano is well outfitted with standard features like automatic climate control, power windows, and steering wheel audio controls. The seats are a ribbon fabric and there is a full suite of safety items like electronic stability control, anti-lock brakes with brake assist and 10 standard air bags.

The next trim level up adds a seven-inch LED radio display screen with IntelliLink infotainment technology for the hook up of a smartphone via Bluetooth or USB. This allows smartphone control via voice activation and steering wheel mounted controls. Fog lamps, remote start, dual zone automatic climate control and available 18-inch multispoke wheels are also included.

At the top trim level, the leather edition has seat heaters that automatically activate in temperatures below 7 C when using the remote start function.

A rear defogger and heated outside mirrors, plus an available heated steering wheel and remote start are other features.

Hop into the Verano and you’ll notice a nice, solid “thump” sound when you close the door — leaving occupants with a feeling that they’re riding in a quality vehicle. There is minor engine noise on acceleration, but at speed, it’s “library quiet” in the cabin, just like in the bigger, more expensive LaCrosse.

The Verano is no highpowered sport sedan, going from 0-100 km/h in about nine seconds according to Buick, but in our brief driving stint, acceleration never proved to be a problem. Handling and driving dynamics are excellent for a compact car and the ride is smooth, although we didn’t travel on many rough patches of

road so we’ll give it a better test during a longer test drive later in the year.

Our tester had the Bose sound system that was specially designed to take advantage of the Verano’s quiet-tuned interior.

The seven-channel, nine-speaker system is standard on the leatherappointed version and a $385 stand-alone option on all other variants.

Trunk space is generous with cargo volume at 405 litres (14.3 cu ft) or 396 litres (14 cu ft) with the Bose audio system.

Fuel economy is rated at 9.9L/100 km (29 mpg) city and 6.2L/100 km (46 mpg) highway.

So where does the Verano fit in the automotive landscape?

Buick execs look at the Acura CSX as the main competition for the Verano, but also talk about the Audi A3 and Lexus IS 250 in the same breath.

Price wise, the Verano has them all beat and it puts Buick in an entirely new market segment.

GM believes the premium compact segment will be a growing market, and if so, Buick is in on the ground floor with a quality entry like the Verano.

Wall of death.

Probably not the three best words to be running through your mind as you floor the throttle and head out on to the track. You want words like victory, pace and skill to fill your head. Not Wall of Death.

But then this is track like no other. It measures just 31-foot in diameter and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 85-years-old. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made almost entirely of wood, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s redolent with the tang of oil, sweat and fear. Oh, and the track walls are completely vertical.

The Mazda2 slowly edges up and away from the horizontal base of the Wall of Death and onto its upright walls.

The right front and rear tires chirp, momentarily slip, and then grip as the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side of Mazda2 rides up onto the edge.

Behind the wheel, Dynomyte Dave guns the superminiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s punchy 102 hp 1.5litre engine. With a burst of speed the Mazda2 flies up onto the wall, all four wheels leaving the floor. Time to go vertical on the Demon Drome Wall of Deathâ&#x20AC;Ś The Demon Drome is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest operating Wall of Death.

It was built in America in late 1927, at the height of popularity for these adrenalin-fuelled vertical raceways, before being shipped over to Britain by Pat Collins Funfairs shortly after construction was completed. The bespoke wooden structure was then sold on and eventually ended up as an attraction in Skegness where it played to audience until the early 1980s.

The Wall of Death enjoyed a new lease of life when it was rebranded the Motordrome and travelled around the

country until the turn of the century when it was packed away in storage and forgotten.

It was rescued and revived by Cornwall-based â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dynomyteâ&#x20AC;? Dave Seymour and his family who completely refurbished the historic wooden track in a meticulous three-year project, christening it The Demon Drome in the process.

Dynomyte Dave, his son Duke and daughter Alabama look completely at home circling the Demon Drome on their 1920s Indian Scout motorcycles.

They make dealing with the four gforces that pool blood in their legs and gives them tunnel vision while hurtling around the wall look like an absolute doddle. They can ride their motorbikes one-handed, standing up, sidesaddle and even blindfolded. But a car is something entirely different.

The concept behind the feat of bringing together the Mazda2 and the Demon Drome is simple â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it takes Mazdaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s convention defying approach to the ultimate level.

In this case that level is perfectly vertical. The key to any success on the wall is a combination of low weight, agility and perky performance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; qualities the lithe and effervescent Mazda2 has by the truckload.

With Dynomyte Dave behind the wheelâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and his son Duke Seymour standing at the centre of the track to guide himâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Mazda2 begins a slow circle of the track, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right front and rear tires flirting with the vertical wall. Dynomyte Dave feeds in more power and the Mazda2 begins to rocket around the base of the Demon Drome, two wheels on the vertical, two on the horizontal.

Following an overwhelmingly positive consumer response to the recently introduced Grand Cherokee concept and related “Name My Ride” contest, the Jeep brand

has announced it will produce not just one, but three new limited-edition Jeep vehicles: the Grand Cherokee, Compass and Patriot Altitude models.

In January, Jeep

introduced a distinctive, “blacked-out” production-intent concept Grand Cherokee at the Houston Auto Show, and connected with consumers to name the model.

With more than 100,000 entries from enthusiasts of the Jeep brand —which boasts more that two million Facebook fans—“Altitude” emerged as the winning

vehicle name.

The new, limited edition Grand Cherokee, Compass and Patriot Altitude models will arrive in Jeep showrooms this spring.

New First jeeps diesel Porsche JACOBSEN EXCELLENCE for Canada STK #62096

STK #62201

The Porsche Cayenne sport utility family gets a new member for 2013: the Cayenne Diesel.

The newest Cayenne model joins the Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne S Hybrid and Cayenne Turbo.

With a 0-100 km/h acceleration time if 7.6 seconds, it is expected to arrive in September with pricing starting at $64,500.

Originally introduced to the diesel-dominated European market in 2009, clean diesel technology and its many consumer benefits will now available to Porsche customers in Canada for the first time.

The new-for-2013 Porsche Cayenne Diesel’s powerful, yet fuel-efficient, 3.0-litre V6 turbo diesel engine delivers 240 hp and 406 lb/ft of torque, available from as low as 1,750 rpm. With a top track speed of 218 km/h, that performance is expected to be complemented by a 30 per cent increase in fuel efficiency over the equivalent gasoline engine.

The Cayenne Diesel is equipped with an eightspeed Tiptronic S transmission, without the auto start stop function available on other Cayenne variants.

As with the Cayenne S Hybrid, the Cayenne Diesel includes Porsche Traction Management (PTM), which features permanent all- wheel drive and a mechanically locking rear differential.

AUBIN, NOELLA LAURIANNE Noella Laurianne Aubin - Our beloved Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother, passed away on Tuesday, March 27th, 2012 at Kelowna General Hospital with her son Marcel and daughter Jacqueline at her side. She was predeceased by her husband Gabriel Arthur in 2004 and her son Andre Lorenzo in 2011. She leaves to mourn her son Louie (Linda), daughter Antoinette, son Marcel (Linda), Daughter Jacqueline (Robert) and Daughter-in-law Sharron, one brother Armand and sisters Aurora and Monique. Also left to mourn are her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Noella loved to open her home to everyone; there was always room for one more at the Aubin table. Her family was everything to her and she always took an interest in what was happening in others lives. She held many jobs throughout her lifetime, starting out as a waitress at the Star Cafe in Hearst, Ontario. Born December 28th, 1923 in St. Camille, Bellechasse, Quebec, Noella was the eldest of eight children born to Eugene and Claireda Lamontagne.

During her time in Hearst, Ontario, she met and married Gabriel when they were both 18 years old. Gaby was the love of her life and they stayed united for 63 years. One of Noella’s favorite jobs was with the Westbank Packing House for thirty years. As well, Noella was an active member of the Catholic Women’s League of Westbank for the many years that they lived in Westbank.

The Family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the nurses and the doctors on the 4th floor of KGH and to the staff at Cottonwoods for their their exceptional care.

The Family has chosen to hold a celebration of Noella’s life in the summertime when the sun is shining and the trees are ripe with fruit.

Messages of condolence may be forwarded to the family c/o www.hansonsfuneral.com.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of Hansons’ Arbor Westwood Funeral Chapel, 250-768-3702.

SHOWCASE W ECO-FLEX

Recycled rubber solution alternative to paving Bobbi-Sue Menard CONTRIBUTOR

There is a new alternative solution available in Kelowna for installing walk-ways or patios in your yard this summer.

Eco-Flex is an Alberta company that specializes in recycled rubber products for its product lineup of paver stones, pathways and pads for residential use.

Eco-Flex, which opened here in August 2011, offers the benefits and price of the new material are attracting a lot of interest from developers, builders and homeowners, says Kelowna manager Darcy Martin.

“The product is attractive, environmentally friendly and long lasting,” explained Martin.

While the product is versatile in shapes, stamped patterns and colours, the base material is rubber crumb from recycled domestic tires.

Once the originally tires have been crumbled, the entire batch is individually coated with a polymer to seal the rubber and prevent leaching.

Instead of a glue or bonding agent which might leach chemicals at a later date, Eco-Flex products are created in high pressure molds in the manufacturing facility in Legal, Alta.

The manufacturing process allows for tremendous variation in patterning as Eco-Flex can be made to look like paver stones or brick in walkways.

The real difference is that the homeowner only has to install sheets of Eco-Flex instead of laying bricks and stone individually by hand. The site prep does remain the same, but the installation is far faster.

Because Eco-Flex is rubber it does not crack and heave like concrete.

Should a panel be damaged by weather, it is a simple matter to pry the modular piece out and slip in a new one.

CONTRIBUTED

DISPLAYING AN Eco-Flex recycled rubber panel are Dave Grant and Darcy Martin.

The surface is non-slip in winter and can stand up to the elements.

There is a rigid spine in the product to prolong its expected decade long lifespan.

The only place the product is not recommended is in a garage situation, like all rubber it is susceptible to gasoline.

Martin says Eco-Flex makes up for that in the

product’s resistance to other corrosive substances. “Unlike concrete, EcoFlex isn’t corroded by salt.”

Martin says once people understand the possi-

bilities with Eco-Flex and how easy it is to install they are more than happy to try it out. ] Eco-Flex is located in Kelowna on Commercial Drive, 250-469-9302.

W OF PRIME INTEREST

Government tax incentives available to assist home buyers The provincial and federal governments both offer programs that can help make it possible to purchase a new home.

B.C. HOME BUYERS PLAN

The B.C. First-Time New Home Buyers’ Bonus is a one-time payment of up to $10,000 for B.C. residents who are first-time home buyers and who purchase a home that falls under the program’s eligibility requirements.

As a buyer, it must be the first primary residence you have purchased either in B.C. or anywhere else in the world.

For more details on this program, see www.sbr.gov.bc.ca/individuals/Income_Taxes/Personal_Income_Tax/ tax_credits/fthb_bonus_faqs.htm#16.

FEDERAL HOME BUYERS PLAN One of the most well-known, uti-

lized programs is the Home Buyers Plan.

This plan allows eligible people to withdraw up to $25,000 tax free from their Registered Retirement Savings Plan to purchase or build a qualifying home. To qualify, as a first-time home buyer you can’t have owned a home as a principal residence for four years before the date of the withdrawal of funds.

People using this plan have to start repaying the amount two years after withdrawing the funds and the entire amount must be repaid within 15 years.

TAX-FREE SAVINGS ACCOUNT Tax-free savings accounts allow people to save money and not pay tax on any interest accrued.

This is a great way to save for a down payment on a home as the money is often more accessible than an

RRSP.

NEW HOUSING REBATE PROGRAM New homes are still subject to HST, but there are some circumstances when you may be eligible to claim a rebate for a part of that tax for the purchase price or cost of building your home.

It is best to consult the government site for the rebate rules as B.C. is in transition from HST back to GST. Check out www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/ pub/gp/rc4028/README.html.

For the new residential housing category of a secondary or recreational residence (new as of April 1), check out the website www.sbr.gov.bc.ca/individuals/Customer_Service/BonusesAndGrants/grant_new_sec_rec_ residences.htm.

HOME BUYERS TAX CREDIT Like the Home Buyers Plan, if you

haven’t lived in another home owned by you or your spouse/common-law partner in any of the four preceding years and you acquire a qualifying home (i.e., a housing unit located in Canada that will be your principal residence), you can claim an amount of $5,000 for the federal Home Buyers Tax Credit.

This translates to about $750 in federal tax relief. This initiative is designed to help first-time home buyers with the costs associated with the purchase of a home such as legal fees, land transfer taxes, etc.

This tax credit is claimed on income tax returns in the year you purchase a home. There is also opportunity for individuals who require wheelchair accessible homes to claim this tax credit.

For more information, see the website www.sbr.gov.bc.ca/individuals/Income_Taxes/Personal_Income_

Tax/tax_credits/fthb_bonus_faqs.htm.

B.C. PROPERTY TRANSFER TAX CREDIT

B.C. residents can also make a provincial property transfer tax credit claim if you are purchasing a home as a principal residence as long as you and your spouse or common-law partner has never owned a home, or an interest in a home, anywhere in the world.

There are additional conditions relating to price, lot size, down payment and residency.
