YOUR FAMILY DEPENDS ON YOU TO ARRIVE SAFELY.

emarkable” is the word Premier Christy Clark chooses to describe 2013.

It was a year that saw the premier lead the B.C. Liberal Party to a poll-defying provincial election victory and lose her own Vancouver-Point Grey riding the same evening.

The spotlight shifted to the Okanagan when Clark announced she would run in a Westside-Kelowna byelection, taking Liberal MLA Ben Stewart up on his offer to step aside.

Clark quickly became a familiar face in the Okanagan and earned a convincing byelection victory July 10.

Since then, the premier has continued to make local headlines with funding announcements, media interviews and event appearances.

And, according to her, there’s a lot more work to be done.

NEWSMAKER OF THE YEAR

▼ CHRISTY CLARK

Premier caps a ‘remarkable’ year

Newsmaker from A1

One day before the 2013 B.C. provincial election, an Angus Reid Public opinion poll suggested the New Democratic Party would earn 45 per cent of the vote. The poll predicted the Liberals would only take 36 per cent.

Two months before that, The Province newspaper was bold enough to put NDP leader Adrian Dix on the cover, with the headline; If this man kicked a dog, he’d still win the election.

So, when Premier Christy Clark led the Liberals to a majority government, earning more than 44 per cent of the popular vote, the victory was that much sweeter.

“The biggest thing that happened this year, in my life, was succeeding in beating all the predictions from the pundits and the pollsters and winning the election,” says Clark.

“That was a big day for me, and I think for the whole province.”

But during the evening of celebrations, Clark watched as her own riding, Vancouver-Point Grey, slipped into the hands of NDP candidate David Eby. Eby earned about 1,000 more votes than Clark and the loss led several Liberal MLAs throughout the province to offer up their seats so the premier could earn her

way back into the provincial legislature through a byelection.

Westside-Kelowna’s Ben Stewart was one of those MLAs. Clark took him up on his offer.

With tears in his eyes, Stewart stood in front of media at his Quails’ Gate Estate Winery June 5 and announced he would step aside so the premier could run in a Westside-Kelowna byelection.

“It’s an important decision for the province, an important decision for the constituency of Westside-Kelowna and an important decision for myself,” Stewart said June 5.

Over the next 35 days, Clark became a familiar face in the Okanagan as she attempted to win voters’ favour.

Initially, most of the premier’s appearances were set up as photo opportunities. On June 13, for example, media were invited to snap pictures of the premier using a drill to erect one of her campaign signs.

But Clark contended she was also taking time to hear residents’ concerns.

In early July, she agreed to take part in two all-candidates debates at the riding level— something no other sitting premier had done in the last 30 years.

And those efforts seemed to pay off.

Clark easily won the Westside-Kelowna

byelection July 10 with more than 62 per cent of the vote—better than the 58 per cent support Stewart received in May. It didn’t take long for Clark to start delivering on some of her local campaign promises.

The day after the byelection, the premier an-

‘‘

THE BIGGEST THING THAT HAPPENED THIS YEAR, IN MY LIFE, WAS SUCCEEDING IN BEATING ALL THE PREDICTIONS FROM THE PUNDITS AND THE POLLSTERS AND WINNING THE ELECTION. Christy Clark

nounced $1 million in additional funding for paving along Westside Road.

Later that month, Clark followed through on another byelection promise by announcing $500,000 for flood mitigation work at McDougall Creek.

But as Clark attempts to please her new Westside-Kelowna constituents, she has no shortage of provincial concerns to

worry about.

“That challenge faces any premier,” says Clark.

“Whatever riding (you) represent, you want to be a good MLA, and at the same time, you need to serve the entire province.

“But Bill Bennet and WAC Bennett figured out how to do it. I think I’m figuring out how to do it.”

She admits, as premier, it’s easier for her to accomplish goals for constituents at the riding level than it is for other MLAs. West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater agrees.

Although the district doesn’t get the premier’s ear as often as it might like, when it does, results often follow.

“It’s been beneficial,” says Findlater.

“We’ve seen some concrete things, in terms of asphalt (on Westside Road) and certainly the McDougall Creek upgrade.

“Those were very quick, positive wins for us.”

Findlater says there is still a to-do list the district is hoping Clark will pay attention to.

“We have a tremendous amount of infrastructure needs we need to talk about…accessing funding of different kinds and consultation on First Nations issues is important to us as well.”

Clark says she’s aware of the region’s needs and admits there is more work

AN EMOTIONAL Ben Stewart announces he is stepping down to let Premier Christy Clark(right) run in the Westside-Kelowna byelection. to be done.

“I’ve gotten a lot of feedback from people… how they want to see this community grow and thrive in the future,” says Clark.

“There’s still a lot of work to do on Westside Road—I intend to get on with that, as I said I would.”

Clark adds a health centre and a second crossing over Okanagan Lake are also priorities of hers.

However, the second crossing is a long-term project.

“Engagement has already begun on that.

“Minister of Transportation Todd Stone has met with the mayor and folks in Kelowna, and I think West Kelowna as well, to talk about what it is they see (a second crossing) looking like—what the

challenges are.

“It is very early stages.

I don’t expect that it will be done by the next election, but hopefully we’ll have some significant progress in the planning by then.”

The premier also envisions the Okanagan Valley as becoming a tech hub for North America.

“We want to attract the best and brightest from around the world to settle here.

“I hope that 20 years from now, people will say this community is not just about tourism and retirees and agriculture, this community is about being a tech hub.”

During the byelection campaign, Clark said she would be on the hunt for a second residence in West Kelowna.

Clark says she’s

optimistic she will be in that second home before the new year.

“The dilemma I have is I want a small place, no lawn—kind of a turn-key operation. There are fewer of those on the Westside than there are in downtown (Kelowna),” says Clark, who adds she’s still hoping to find a suitable location in West Kelowna.

That residence may end up being well-used for some time, as Clark has indicated her intent to run in Westside-Kelowna in the next election.

And, if that’s the case, Clark, both as premier and the local MLA, will likely continue making headlines in the Okanagan for years to come. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

So, in a column space that would usually be Kathy used to reflect on all that Michaels was, I’m skipping ahead into the territory of New Years’s resolutions.

This newsroom’s in particular. So often we spend our days putting words to other people’s stories, so here are a few lines to offer insights to who we are.

After all, the eight reporters in here—five remaining as I type this— offer a decent reflection of what’s happening in this valley.

Like so many others, news reporter Jennifer Smith has been working more for less.

KATHARTIC

As such she says she wants to be healthier, happier and less stressed when 2014 rolls around.

“I’m going to conquer the world and re-learn how to sew and slow down,” she said, wrapping up a list that was 15 items long.

Kevin Parnell is the go-to guy for all things Lake Country and he’s been on the sports beat for eons.

In a bid to take advantage of green infrastructure, he intends to ride his bike to work-and-back more often in the year ahead. That means, “at least once,” he added.

Assistant editor Alistair Waters says he never makes resolutions, but he strained to help a fellow reporter in need of a column topic.

“I won’t lie and say I’ll get fit, or anything like that, because that will never happen…”

I’m still waiting for the rest of the

To the editor: Thankfully, in his most recent MP’s Report (Dec. 17), Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan refrained from only parroting the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) talking points as he did when he suggested the government’s solution to poverty of seniors is to increase the Canada Pentions Plan eligibility to age 67, or that the anti-bullying legislation can be taken at face value while his party’s political ads are straight-forward slander and half-truths concerning the Conservative Party of Canada’s political “enemies.”

Mr. Cannan did address issues of a local/regional nature, but the reader is baffled why the continuation of one Veterans’ Affairs clerk in Ke-b lowna is depicted as somem kind of generous gesture, par-o ticularly in light of the recentP p c See Federal Gov’t A9m t w f e c resolution. o Warren Henderson is the sports goto man in the office. m “My New Year’s resolution is to stop procrastinating and make a New Year’s resolution,” he said. He’s dodged them for decades, apparently.

Editor Jean Russell has saved us all from print-gaffes galore and may be the most organized person I know. Keeping with that theme, she just told me she started her resolution in October.

“I’m going to get fit so I can take a last stab at the things I really want to do before I’m too damn old to do them,” said Jean.

As for me, I intend to think before I type in the year ahead so I won’t have to pick my co-workers’ brains for last minute inspiration.

That, and 100 sit-ups a day.

Happy New Year everyone!

Last minute resolutions for a last minute column t’s the year end in the newsroom, and everyone is talking about the big stories that were.

So far I’ve gathered that a local ballet troupe folded then bounced back before the final bow, our premier was decimated on home turf so she healed her wounds nestled in the cradle of free enterprise and apartment-fires and hailstorms wreaked havoc.

It was, despite some murmurings to the contrary, a pretty big news year in the Okanagan.

Mind you, none of these stories resonate with me at all.

The month of Christy Clark’s political resurrection, I was working on making the little human I made roll over. Then through the rest of the calen-

▼ GOVERNMENT FUNDING

Help with mobility and reduce health costs To the editor: It has come to my attention that our government has plans to cancel funding support for Giving In Action’s Family Fund—an extremely important fund administered by an organization that does great work, serving the betterment of all our communities across B.C. It enables Canadian families supporting children with special needs, to gain or maintain independence in the ability to care for their children at home rather than having to rely heavily on our

health care system and tax dollars.

As a professional serving in the medical mobility industry, I’ve seen first hand, on many occasions, the great impact Giving in Action’s funding support has had on families.

Not only does it give them the ability to independently care for their children, it enhances their quality of life which improves the mental health of everyone involved.

Several clinical studies have been conducted which inarguably conclude that there is a dir-

ect correlation between mental health and physical health. To summarize, independence = quality of life = mental health = physical health (= less cost to our health care system = more tax dollars to support other important government programs).

As a taxpayer, I support Giving in Action in its mission and would continue to do so.

Instead of considering our cost to support this program, we need to consider the huge savings this program provides to our health care system.

One day in a hospital or care facility can easily cost taxpayers $1,000 or more, 25 days or less in a hospital or care facility is of equal value to the amount Giving in Action commonly allows each family for product or service provision, which can go on to provide for years of use value.

Regardless of what medical provision is funded, it’s clear that eliminating this program will cost us tax payers millions more than what’s allegedly being saved, in associated health care costs.

Penny smart and pound foolish would be a fitting description.

This issue affects all of us and I’m urging everyone to write a letter to their local MLA and/or Don McRae, the minister of social development and Innovation at don.mcrae. mla@leg.bc.ca to express their concerns.

Thank you for your support.

• The nicest topless glass railing systems in the world

• Decorative aluminum railing and fencing, custom built and painted right here in Kelowna

To the editor: I made my submission in Kelowna to the Joint Review Panel on the proposed Northern Gateway Project. I presented myself as a typically oil addicted guy and consequently, an expert.

I carefully addressed each of the panel’s terms of reference and asked their help to get me and the rest of us off the stuff—oil that is.

Since age 16 I have driven trucks, buses, cars and boats powered by internal combustion fossil fuel-burning engines. Most of us have.

I have boarded transcontinental or intercontinental jetliners propelled with fossil fuel; this to see a world of wonders daily affected by pollution from fossil fuel exhaust.

Perhaps one saving grace for this B.C. boy has been all of our ready hydroelectric power.

Without it I would, no doubt, have burned much more fossil fuel.

Still, I have also kept warm when it was cold outside using both gas and oil. Wood too, of course.

The contradiction between my opposition to Enbridge’s Northern Gateway and my dayto-day reality is perplexing. My Public Service Pension Fund does well in Enbridge shares, demonstrating that ‘if you are not part of the solution there is good money to be made in prolonging the problem.’

Climate change is upon us. Global warming is real. The cause is human activity, especially the release of CO2 into the atmosphere over the past couple of hundred years. Every day the more of us— the more C02.

The incongruity of popular protest and popular behaviour makes for a very sad situ-

ation.

As some of us drive to the demonstration against another oil pipeline, we need to reflect upon the words of a 20th century cartoon character named Pogo who said: “ We have met the enemy and he is us.”

Conservation measures coupled with renewable energy options like geothermal, tidal, solar and wind need immense commitment and every contrivance available to advance their development.

The time for short term and half-measures is ended. Something akin to the moral equivalent of war is required.

And the enemy? Again: “he is us.”

Dave Cursons, Cawston

Gov’t will send jobs down pipeline with crude To the editor: It’s a matter of days before the Harper government makes its decision on the Northern Gateway Pipeline. Anti-pipeline protesters have been concentrating on the environmental impact but what the government doesn’t want us to know is that foreign countries plan to exploit our energy resources, harming our economy and our pockets.

What should be the most important concern,

is that gas prices will rise.

When Enbridge tells us the price of crude will be higher when sold overseas, they neglect to mention that we will pay more for our domestic oil. Gas prices will continue to rise for the next 30 years.

In addition to paying higher oil prices, we are also losing an opportunity to add value and create meaningful jobs in Canada. Economically, Canada would gain much more if oil was refined in

Canada. The good jobs created by oil are being shipped down the pipeline along with the revenues Canada could get from refining the oil in Canada.

Then there’s the expense of the condensate Canada imports to mix with the thick unrefined oil to get it to flow through the pipelines. Canada can’t produce enough so it has to import it, creating dependence on foreign imports of condensate. The Northern Gate-

Confidence is dwindling in Conservative government Federal Gov’t A8 upsurge of suicides by military members.

However, he does not address the points uppermost on voters’ minds: The ongoing scandal of the alleged cover-up by the PMO and the ensu-

ing RCMP investigation into bribery and fraud, let alone the PM’s statement that he could not care less for anyone who does not vote Conservative, or the federal ministers’ statement that his government has no responsibility to care about children going

hungry.

These developments do not enhance the voters’ confidence in decent governance on behalf of all citizens, regardless of social circumstances or political preferences.

Harri Henschler, West Kelowna

way pipeline is twinned so that condensate comes into Canada while crude is exported.

The reason this is happening? A few large corporations from overseas own most oil companies They want our crude oil so that they can refine it with cheap labour and fewer environmental regulations overseas.

Instead of a strong energy policy that will

benefit our economy, we are getting pipelines and higher gas prices, so foreign owned companies can benefit from our valuable resources.

Charlie Hodge more to reflect upon.

One of my annual traditions on Christmas Eve is to find a few minutes to escape into a quiet place and spend a few minutes fondly remembering friends and family no longer in this world.

I take a few minutes to picture them in my head, feel them in my heart, share a silent conversa-

tion, and laugh or cry over a recollection. Then I return to reality and to sharing the night with whoever may be in the Hodge household on Christmas Eve. Our home was scheduled for a unique collection of characters for Christmas dinner, including my granddaughter and great-granddaughter.

There is nothing that really brings forth the joy and wonderment of Christmas like a young child in full amazement with the lights, tree, and festivities going on. And there’s never a shortage of Christmas decorations scattered about our hum-

ble home to keep little Arya wide-eyed and full of joyful gurgles like only a babe of seven months can display.

In addition, a life-long friend from my early teen years was to join us again this year. I feel so blessed to have Dan back in my life after so many years in other parts of the world.

For Tez and I, the end of the festive holiday season is like a minor death in the family. We love getting ready for the holidays and have a difficult time taking all our decor down and packing it away after the fact.

We are strong advocates of having two Christmas events a year and figure an annual July 25 Christmas should become mandatory in Canada. Retail outlets would gladly concur, I’m sure.

One thing I can pretty much guarantee is that I’ll be spending the majority of Boxing Day curled up in pyjamas with hot chocolate, home-made Baileys, and doing absolutely nothing. That is definitely becoming one of my

favourite new holiday rituals. I’ve got ‘doing nothing’ down to a fine art.

In fact, my skill at doing nothing may slip into the New Year.

Not sure about you, but my (our) New Year’s plans involve doing absolutely nothing as well.

I figure it’s a safe and financially sound start to the year and pretty much secures a non-throbbing head in the morning.

I enjoy a New Year’s event as much as the next person, however the hermit side of me often wins come the big night and I opt for a quiet night at home. The past four or five years, we have enjoyed watching friends such as Deb Stone, the Zamboni Brothers, The Sled Dogs or the Cruzeros play the old year out and a new one in at one nightclub or another.

This year, however, we’re looking forward to just a whisper or two of cheap champagne, a warm comfy bed, and a good video. Time to unwind and get ready for 2014.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

There are a few coupes still available and one that is worthy of consideration is this new 2014 Honda Accord Coupe V6.

Zack Spencer

Visit the Honda Accord Coupe photo gallery at drivewayBC.ca

Honda’s contemporary on a dying breed 2014 Honda Accord Coupe V6 It’s fascinating to watch trends in the auto industry play out over time.

Some changes happen quickly, with one manufacturer coming out with a feature, then the rest of the industry following suit. Backup cameras would be a good example of this.

Other trends are much slower, changing because of demographic fluctuations.

One example of a slow-moving trend is the two-door coupe falling out of favour and its replacement by sedans and crossovers. This trend is greatly affected by baby boomers getting older and buying more for practical reason, rather than styling.

In the 1980s, and even the beginning of the 90s, there were plenty of coupes to choose from and they sold well. But where are the Honda Prelude, Toyota Celica, Pontiac Sunfire and Ford Probe coupes? Now gone and many not replaced with newer models. I’m thrilled to report that there are a few coupes still available and one that is worthy of consideration is this new 2014 Honda Accord Coupe V6.

Looks The Accord Coupe is based on the all-new Accord sedan that has been selling very well for Honda. In fact, it won the Canadian Car of the Year this year as decided by the Automobile Journalist Association of Canada.

Honda has done a good job of updating this big coupe with a more modern twist. Sold in three configurations from the base EX to the EX-L Navi (L stand for leather and navi is self-explanatory),

which are both 4-cylinder way the radio stores and equipped models. The top retrieves pre-set radio trim is the EX-L Navi with stations. It took a long V6. This top trim level is the time to set the stereo model seen here: it comes up and having to go with LED projector headback and forth between lamps, 18-inch wheels and different screens is not duel chrome exhaust tips.

If you like the idea that intuitive. The rest of The 4-cylinder equipped the dash is large, with big models come with halogen of a smart looking car cup holder and plenty of headlamps and 17-inch storage areas. that is well equipped alloy wheels. The coupe The steering wheel and powerful, you starts at $26,400, a $2,500 buttons and heat controls premium over the regular might want to move on on the dash use first rate an Accord Coupe. sedan but when the switches and they are sedan is equipped with placed with precision.

Zack Spencer alloy wheels, the price is Drive Another trend almost identical. The EX-L that Honda is bucking, with this Accord is $30,100 for the leather and navi and Coupe, is the inclusion of a 6-speed the V6 premium is $35,500. Not an manual transmission and V6 engine. The inexpensive car but most are very well latest movement is to turbo or superequipped. charged 4-cylinder engines to replace V6

‘‘

’’

Inside It’s a big and comfortable coupe. The back seat is actually usable for adults and the front seats are very comfortable. The trunk is huge and the back seat folds for extra long items but the seats do not split and fold, plus the opening to the back seat is small.

Standard feature on all Accord models is a backup camera and heated seats.

Honda, in my opinion, has raised the bar in the mid-sized category and produced the nicest dash I have seen in this class.

There are two screens in the centre console, one for the navigation unit and the other for the radio. They are framed in beautiful, high quality satin metal, chrome and soft touch materials.

One area that could be improved is the

power plants and duel clutch automatic transmission in favour of a manual. I’m glad that Honda still offers this layout; it shows they are serious about being a true enthusiast’s car company. Granted, most buyers will get the very good 6-speed automatic transmission with the 3.5L V6, but with 278hp and 252 lb.ft. of torque it will be a very lively car in either configuration. The manual is a joy to use and it is like a throwback to drive a V6 equipped manual car. The 4-cylinder models have 185hp from a direct injection 2.4L engine and either a manual transmission or continuously variable transmission (CVT) for added fuel savings. The CVT is capable of 7.8L/100km in the city and 5.7L on the highway. The

V6 uses more at 10.0L/100km in the city and 6.1L on the highway.

Verdict When I started reviewing cars back in the early 1990s, cars like this were common: a mid-sized sedan with a V6 engine and a manual transmission.

I can clearly remember driving a Toyota Camry, Nissan Maxima and Accord equipped this way. While most companies are moving away from this design, Honda is sticking with it for now.

Soon Honda will have smaller turbocharged 4-cylinder engines available and this big coupe might too be fitted with something more efficient. If you like the idea of a smart looking car that is well equipped and powerful, you might want to move on an Accord Coupe V6 before it follows the latest trend.

The Lowdown Power: 2.4L 4-cylinder with 185hp or 3.5L V6 with 278hp Fill-up: 7.8L/5.7L/100km (city/highway 4-cylinder) Sticker price: $26,400-$35,500

Toyota Tundra: A truck for the Wild West The 2014 Toyota Tundra has deep roots in the Wild, Wild West.

The 1794 Edition is a tribute to the ranch, founded in the year 1794, on which the Tundra plant is located in San Antonio, Texas. In 2002, Toyota began the search for a US facility to build the second generation Toyota Tundra. The 2,000-acre ranch site was acquired and ground breaking took place Oct 17, 2003. Just like the ranch it replaced, hard work and dedication prevailed bringing production numbers up to 200,000 units. On September 18, 2013, the one-millionth truck, a Sunset Bronze Mica colored, 1794 Edition Tundra, rolled out.

This truck has a completely new body design with an aggressive grille that extends from the bumper to the raised hood. The fender flares are larger and more defined, and the tailgate has Tundra stamped into the sheet metal.

The top of the line Western themed 1794 Edition comes with a unique chrome grille and chrome and silver bumper. It’s almost like a large belt buckle!

The inside screams Country music with its exclusive premium saddle tan brown leather seats with embossed and suede accents.

Soft-touch materials are found on the center console, the front and rear door trim, and the instrument panel. Rich maple woodgrain covers the steering wheel, dash and shifter. Big improvement to the back seat of the Double Cab and Crew Max where a 60/40 split bench flips up with a one handed latch to allow more cargo space.

The Tundra is equipped with Toyota’s advanced display audio system with AM/FM Radio, CD, MP3/ WMA capability, USB and auxiliary input, and voice recognition. It also includes standard Bluetooth and an integrated backup camera.

quiet cabin, which I found to be true with the previous model, with very little road noise.

I am happy they continued with the larger oversized buttons and knobs, which you can operate while wearing gloves. With the popularity of the Tundra growing, I can easily see the two-millionth truck roll out before the next design change.

display, while the SR5, Limited and Platinum models feature a 7-inch display with integrated Sirius XM Satellite Radio.

Two engines available, depending on the model you choose. The 4.6 L i-force V8 that puts out 310 horsepower and 327 lb ft of torque and the 5.7 L i-force V8 with 32 valve dual overhead cam engine that generates 381 horsepower and 410 lb ft of torque.

Both motors are connected to a 6 speed automatic transmission with sequential shift mode.

Fuel economy numbers: 5.7 L: 14.2/10.5 L/100 km (city/highway) 4.6 L: 11.0/13.6 L/100 km (city/highway) Driver and front passenger airbags, roll-sensing, head/ side curtain and front mounted side airbags, and the first 1/2 ton pickup to include driver and front passenger knee airbags.

Toyota’s star safety system includes electronic brake force distribution, smart stop technology, anti-lock brakes, vehicle stability control, and active traction control. The side mirrors have the blind spot monitor system that detects a vehicle in your blind spot.

The ride was a perfect combination of on-road comfort and off-road toughness.

The truck has exceptional steering response and firm enough not to nose dive in the corners.

The seats are spacious and very comfortable; I compare it to a living room couch with seat belts. It has a very

The reliable Subaru Forester is a very impressive blend of utility, comfort, handling and fuel efficiency in a compact package..

Subaru Forester 2009-2012: Dependable, utilitarian ride A redesigned third-generation Subaru Forester was an early 2009 model year release.

A new look, better performance, enhanced safety features and more interior space were all achieved without drastic changes to the exterior dimensions of this popular compact utility vehicle.

A “Boxer” type engine, with horizontally opposed

cylinders (like a Porsche engine), and a symmetrical all-wheel-drive system distinguish a Subaru, as a Subaru. Forester has an excellent history of mechanical dependability and the Subaru essentials are packaged with a practical, utilitarian body.

Compared to the previous generation Forester, the ’09 came with a new chassis with a wider track and a

longer wheelbase (by 9 cm), plus a new double wishbone rear suspension.

The structural changes also yielded extra cargo space and more rear passenger head and legroom.

The single overhead camshaft base engine can produce 170-horsepower and fuel economy is rated at 10.6/7.5 L/100 km (city/ highway). While reliable, it’s no rocket and flat-out

’’

acceleration to 100 km/ hour takes more than 10 seconds. Agile handling does help compensate for tame straight-line speed.

A turbocharged variant has twin-camshafts and can produce 224-horsepower.

However, it likes premium fuel and consumes 10.9/8.3 L/100 km (city/highway).

Manual transmission models have an electronic “hill holder” feature. When

Highway Safety (IIHS) in its rollover test. The roof is more than double the strength required by U.S. federal safety standards.

In addition to all-wheeldrive system, a Forester comves with anti-lock brakes and an electronic stability control system called Vehicle Dynamics Control. It also provides what Subaru describes as a ‘virtual’ limited slip rear differential function.

The 2009 Forester was

Even a base Forester 2.5X i comes well equipped with heated seats, air conditioning, power windows and mirrors, roof rails, a tilt and telescoping steering wheel with audio controls.

A new PZEV (partial-zero-emissions-vehicle) edition of Forester was added for the 2010 model year.

Emissions are about 90 per cent lower than most (2010) vehicles, according to Subaru.

In 2011, the base 2.5-litre boxer engine got a double overhead camshaft upgrade, plus new bore and stroke dimensions. While

Big year for UBC Okanagan athletics As the sports scene out at UBC Okanagan continued to move forward in leaps and bounds, 2013 brought the first ever Canadian Interuniversity Sports (CIS) home playoff games to the UBCO campus as well as word that the institution would be granted full member status in the CIS. Both men’s and women’s volleyball and basketball programs had been playing in the CIS’ Canada West conference on a trial basis for the past

two years but the official word came down in May that the Canada West Universities Athletic Association had voted to accept UBCO as a full member.

“It is wonderful news for our institution and our athletics program and I would like to thank everyone who contributed to our application— and that’s a big group of people,” said director of athletics and recreation Rob Johnson. “Back in 2007, full membership in Canada West and the

Canadian Interuniversity Sports (CIS) was one of a number of institutional goals that were set, and it is very gratifying to see it achieved.”

The positive membership vote meant that UBC Okanagan men’s and women’s soccer teams will start competing in Canada West in 2014, joining the volleyball and basketball programs in the CIS. It also seemed to pave the way for the Okanagan Sun junior football program to eventually join

the CIS as well.

In the midst of the application process, one UBCO sports team had already established itself as a competitive part of the CIS and made some history in the process.

In just its second season in the Canada West, the UBCO Heat women’s volleyball team finished the season at 15-7, winning nine more times than in their debut season and securing the first ever CIS home playoff games in UBCO’s history.

“Hosting is just another really big step for our program and another indication that we are well ahead of schedule with what we are doing,” said Heat coach Steve Manuel.

And even after the Heat lost two tough matches to Mount Royal and their season had ended, the accolades kept pouring in. Manuel was named the Canada West and the CIS coach of the year and player Emily Oxland was named to the CIS all-rookie team.

HEAT ATHLETICS

THE UBC Okanagan women’s volleyball squad made the Canada West playoffs in just their second season of CIS competition.

▼ HIGH SCHOOL

KCS officially outstanding About 65 per cent of the student body is involved in athletics at Kelowna Christian School.

When it comes to high school sports, winning the blue banner as provincial champions is the top of the mountain.

And here in Kelowna, high school sports success is a common theme as teams from schools across the Central Okanagan are routine fixtures in top 10 rankings and at provincial championship tournaments.

But one smaller Ke-

lowna school has taken its athletics to the next level, both in terms of the number of students taking part in sports of one kind or another, and in claiming that sought-after banner to hang in the rafters.

In 2013 Kelowna Christian School was named the B.C. School Sports outstanding school of the year in voting against every other school in the province, close to 400 schools of all sizes.

By student population KCS ranks as a single-A school. But in terms of per capita athletes, the school, to put it plainly, kicks butt.

“About 65 per cent of the student body is involved in athletics at our school,” said Rob Smith,

KCS athletic director.

“We’re not a big school but we had 20 teams this year and we have kids playing from Grades 7 to 12. Kids are participating at a high level. There is a culture of involvement in athletics at the school. It’s a big part of our school.

You have all of these kids involved in all of these sports and whether your team won a championship, it recognizes our entire school and our program.”

In the 2012-13 school season, Kelowna Christian School, pulled off the rare feat of winning three senior provincial championships, claiming single-A senior boys and girls volleyball champion-

ships. More impressive was the KCS senior boys who opted to play in the provincial AA league and then won the provincials.

Already this year they are at it again as the senior girls volleyball team claimed its third straight provincial championship to kick off the 2013-14 high school sporting year.

“I just think there is so much that comes from athletics for kids, participating with their friends at school and leaning and growing together,” he said. “It’s part of the school life and when you play with school-mates and are involved with those kids on so many different levels, lots of good stuff can come of it.”

memorable setting of Mary Poppins, but specific spots are hard to find based on the book and movie.

Searching for Mary Poppins in London Gary A. Warner CONTRIBUTOR

LONDON—Long before Google Maps, there was London A-to-Z, a detailed pocket map book showing every street in the British capital.

When I purchased my first copy many years ago, I went to the index to look up a familiar address. But there was no Cherry Tree Lane. Which meant there was no No. 17. I would have no easy road map to the home of the bickering Banks family and their nanny with a flying umbrella, Mary Poppins.

With the new Disney movie Saving Mr. Banks about to open, the question of London locations in Mary Poppins has returned.

In the new film, Tom Hanks as Walt Disney is frustrated by the intransigence of writer P.L. Travers, played by Emma Thompson, to allow her children’s books to be made into a movie.

I’m frustrated that Disney and Travers left so few clues about locations of the movie that shaped my earliest ideas about England and the English.

“In every job that must be done there is an element of fun,” someone once sang. So I would have to turn investiga-

tive reporter and follow leads and clues. Opting for a chug of coffee over a spoonful of sugar, I set off to see what I could find of Mary Poppins in London.

Travers is unspecific about most locations. But just as Jane and Michael Banks first looked inside Mary Poppins’ magical carpetbag and thought they found nothing, there really is something there.

The first page of the first Mary Poppins book begins with a wink by telling the reader looking for Cherry Tree Lane to ask a policeman for directions, who will send them on a series of lefts and rights to the address.

The best Travers will do is tell you the lane is where “houses run down one side and the Park runs down the other and the cherry trees go dancing right down the middle.”

“The Park,” upper case, has to be one of the big Royal Parks.

Looking at a foldout map of the city. Richmond Park was too far west. Greenwich Park was too far east.

Mr. George Banks works in the City, then as now the financial center of London. When he leaves home, giving his wife, Winifred, a chaste kiss, he walks. So it has to be close to London’s cen-

ter. Travers writes in Mary Poppins, “the afternoon began to die away behind the park.” So the Banks family would likely live on the east side to watch the sun set over the park.

Mayfair, east of Hyde Park, seemed too expensive for the frugal Mr. Banks. The area east of Green Park doesn’t match up well either.

That left the Regent’s Park in north-central London.

Into the Tube I went, winding up on the Bakerloo line. From Regent’s Park station I tried to put myself in his mind-set as I looked at the homes.

“It’s grand to be an Englishman in 1910!

London was different then, and the smaller homes might be Banksworthy.

Gloucester Road and Village Park West were still a bit too grand.

Through the park, up the Boardwalk, the route went past the London Zoo, which has a merrygo-round with horses and other animals, much like the one in the movie whose animals magically fly off with their riders.

I felt close, but not quite there.

I took St. Mark’s Bridge over the Regent’s Canal, then crossed busy Prince Albert Road. North

of the road, the topography suddenly felt familiar. Albert Terrace and Regent’s Park Road had just the right sweep, though no cherry trees for a Cherry Tree Lane.

I was sold that I’d found the right area when I crossed over onto Primrose Hill, the small northern bump of Regent’s Park. In its day, this was a sedate neighbourhood.

Children ran about, there was a small playground, and on a windy day, it would be a perfect place to fly a kite, just like in the movie. Somewhere along this stretch was the home where Mary Poppins cared for Jane and Michael Banks (and in the books, the other Banks children, who were deleted from the Disney movie).

From Regent’s Park it’s a long walk or a short subway, bus or taxi ride to the City, where Mr. Banks worked in his namesake trade. I took the Tube to the aptly named Bank station and popped into what was, in George Banks’ time, the economic heart of the world. The area was hit hard by German bombers during World War II and rebuilt in a combination of styles.

George Banks’ claim that “a British bank is run

with precision” would bring scornful laughs from Brits who went through the financial roller-coaster that led to the last recession and has yet to fully stop.

The City is a much showier place in recent years, its landmark now the sparkly, glasssheathed, pickle-shaped “Gherkin” skyscraper. It took the place of the stolid Baltic Exchange that stood on the site at 30 St. Mary Axe since 1903, when George Banks would have worked nearby. The exchange was blown up in 1992 by a 1-ton truck bomb set off by the Provisional Irish Republican Army. Two men and 15-year-old girl were killed.

There’s still more than a bit of the conservative banking tradition of Banks’ fictional employer, the Dawes, Tomes, Mousley, Grubbs Fidelity Fiduciary Bank.

Its spiritual home is, no doubt, the Bank of England. The famed Old Lady of Threadneedle Street, the bank’s headquarters exude the attitude of muscular rectitude needed for a strong, steady British sterling pound.

Elusive Poppins character Poppins from A27 George Banks striding up the steps of the Bank of England. But the current bank dates from just before World War II, when the magnificent bank building erected by John Soane that Mr. Banks would have known was demolished as too small for running the financial side of an empire.

Inside, there is a museum that tells the story of the Bank of England from its start in 1694 to its place as the United Kingdom’s central bank. Visitors can

touch a gold bar and see old, huge, foldable bank notes and coins with various kings and queens going back centuries. Mr. Banks would no doubt approve that the museum keeps bankers’ hours— if you try to visit on the weekend, you are out of luck. It’s open weekdays excep bank holidays.

Nearby is the only recognizable landmark from the movie—St. Paul’s Cathedral. At least four cathedrals have stood on this spot, the highest hill in the City. The current cathedral is a masterwork of England’s great church designer, Christopher Wren. It opened in 1697 and has survived Reformation and Counterreformation, fires, Zeppelin raids, the Blitz and centuries of soot from millions of coal-burning fireplaces.

Restoration experts have done their best to erase the chipped and darkened exterior. But the interior still gleams, its pillars and soaring ceiling the site of white marble.

It’s most famous in recent times for the opulent wedding of Prince Charles to Diana Spencer. St. Paul’s hosts an annual Thanksgiving Day celebration for Americans.

It was in front of the cathedral that Michael Banks saw the old woman singing Feed the Birds

and chose to spend his tuppence on the pigeons instead of putting it in the bank to amortize into investments in African railways, tea plantations, canals and ocean liners as his father wished. While this charitable act and its fallout were the linchpin of Mary Poppins’ hoped-for transformation of George Banks and his family, it would now be difficult and anti-social.

Okanagan College gets accreditation for business programs The reputation of Okanagan College’s School of Business is beingenhanced by a recent accreditation received from an international agency.

The Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs’ baccalaureate/graduate degree Board of Com-

missioners has awarded the college initial accreditation of its business programs.

“Okanagan College has shown their commitment to teaching excellence and to the process of quality improvement by participating in the accreditation process,” said

ACBSP director of accreditation Steve Parscale, who will present the Certificate of Initial Accreditation at the ACBSP annual Conference in Chicago June 29.

Established in 1988, ACBSP is the only organization offering specialized business accredit-

ation for all degree levels, from associate to baccalaureate to doctoral degree programs. ACBSP accreditation certifies that

the teaching and learning processes within the School of Business at Okanagan College meet the rigorous educational

standards established by ACBSP. “Receiving accreditation from ACBSP is further evidence of the

strength of Okanagan College’s business programs,” said Okanagan College President Jim Hamilton.

Celebrate Safely Please don’t drink and drive!

Even now, despite the ever increasing number of public awareness campaigns, drunk driving is frequently at the centre of horror stories involving families across Canada. In fact, nearly all Canadians have heard or read at least once over the last year, a story about a drunk driver having hit a child, and innocent bystander, an ordinary person. It is more than ever the time to learn some lessons from these terrible experiences.

You’ve been invited to a family evening where drinks will be flowing freely or to a Happy Hour with your work colleagues? These are, without doubt, occasions when you could really have a lot of fun. But don’t kid yourself; it’s highly likely that you won’t be in a fit state to drive by the end of the evening. Add to that the difficult driving conditions we can encounter during the winter and you’ve got a good recipe for disaster...

Happily there exists a whole range of options to avoid driving under these conditions. There is, of course, the designated driver system as well as many organizations, especially during the holiday season, which will pick you up and drive you home in your own car, as safe as can be.

DAN-MEL MOVING

Don’t put your life or other people’s lives in danger. If you know you’re going to have a few drinks, don’t take your car. Don’t become a statistic or headline news by committing an illegal act that can destroy so many lives

Drinking and driving can be a deathly cocktail.

“We’re fast and we’re good!”

There is lots to do come moving day – let us help you de-stress.
