STAFF REPORTER

hen Tyler Czuba and Alexandra Kozak pick up the newspaper to find their love story in print, they will be preparing to say, "I do." The young couple met on Facebook, on a fanpage for the professional hockey team he plays for in Miskolc, Hungary. It was "the most likely of places," he contends. Admittedly, for their generation, connecting virtually seems as natural as finding love in a speakeasy would have been for a flapper. Yet the day they have selected to tie the knot is one auspicious square on the calendar. Numerologists believe Valentine's Day 2014 is the best time for nuptials in 600 generations. The explanation is a little complex, but basically the two, as in the second month of the calendar year, represents romance and the 14 is connected to new experiences. In combo, the number 214 is said to reflect an introspective time and this period of inner reflection is also represented by the number 2014, a rare double-whammy of numerological fates not seen for another 18,000 years. Whether one goes in for this sort of mysticism or not, there's no denying Czuba and Kozak have beat the odds to make it down the aisle today. In 2008, London graduate student Peter Backus wrote a paper: Why I Don't Have A Girlfriend. According to Backus, his chances of finding an educated woman he would find attractive without going abroad were 1-in285,000. This meant 26 women in the U.K. qualified. Thankfully for him, the equation for finding love doesn't hinge on impossible quandaries like assigning a numerical value to physical attraction. He was married last May. And as Cupid's arrow does strike more often than lightening, finding a few local love stories to share on this universally romantic day was equally simple. See story on page A3

The heart of the matter Love stories from the Okanagan From A1

A LIFETIME OF LOVE

—by Marie Rolfe Elvis sang a song, Can’t Help Falling in Love, and that was the way it was for my sweetheart and I. We met in high school. I was the new girl in town and it was love at first sight. We dated for three years and were married in the month of June. We had a modest wedding in the church chapel. My landlady baked our wedding cake. The toast to the bride was offered with juice and our honeymoon was a few days on a nearby island, by way of a 40-minute launch trip in the pouring rain. Not very fancy, extravagant or magical, you say? Even so, our love has survived over six decades and we’re still in love today. Yes, we have shared countless ups and downs in the longevity of our years together. Nevertheless, it’s the many exquisite moments we’ve shared that we cherish and reminisce about, giving thanks. Our abiding legacy is two daughters, five grandchildren and four great grandchildren. They are all gifts given to treasure and be proud of. Like excellent wine

that has been aged with care, the maturing process has made us more devoted, tender and supportive of each other. That’s the secret of our everlasting love story. In addition, we’ve been faithful to the many promises we made to each other on our wedding day and have grown in grace, with thankful hearts. We consider ourselves to be greatly blessed and look forward to celebrating our 65th wedding anniversary in June of this year.

(Top left) Marie and Jim Rolfe are still celebrating their love 60 years into their marriage. (Top right) Jim and Marie on their wedding day, three years after they started dating. (Left) Tyler Czuba and his fiancé, Alexandra Kozak, will marry today.

EVERLASTING SISTERLY LOVE

Paule Monde wrote in to say the love of her sister has carried her through. When she was born, her then 13-year-old sister was thrilled to have a little girl to care for after fondly looking over two brothers. The pair were separated when the older sister moved away at age 18, but living on the opposite end of the country didn’t prevent her from helping with one of the most difficult periods of Paule’s life. When Paule tried to get pregnant, losing all the pregnancies, her big sister was there, calling every day. “My sister took me on a trip to show me that life could be still beautiful,” she wrote. Today, they send 12 gifts for the 12 days of

Christmas to each other and save their cherished birthday cards. “She made me feel valuable and needed, but

most of all, loved,” she said.

All week Carrie Harper watched as customers filed into her business, heART school on Bernard Avenue, looking for hand-crafted Valentines. The love of her life has recently stepped away from her world, both professionally and personally, and recovery has understandably doused her spirit. A love story doesn’t have to last forever, in her eyes, so she nonetheless agreed to share the whirl-

wind romance that swept her off her feet and helped develop the career and community she had envisioned. “This was everything I ever wanted in a love story—the companionship and the way we worked so well together… “He loved this place,” she said, casting a gaze around the avant-garde network of studios in the school. “He loved this place and he loved the house we were in and, if he truly did give up all of that because he thought I would be better off, then that’s self-sacrificing, I think. “Maybe, as disappointing as that is, sometimes that’s what love looks like, too.” Harper and her beau met at an event for a visiting author. If there is such a thing as love at first sight, this was it. “When I handed him the ticket, I just got a, I don’t know if you call it a message or what, but I just knew that we were going to be together and we were going to do something really exciting,” she said. It took two weeks for him to call, but from the moment he did, sparks flew. They talked, they walked, they touched, they kissed. When he opened the trunk of his car and an old leather jacket, banjo, broken Mac laptop computer and wooden pipe were sitting inside, Harper knew she had found her mate. “He is so amazing. A banjo, a leather jacket, a pipe and a Mac; he’s like the perfect man to me,” she said. The pair are painters and he is a musician. Over the course of the next year and a half, they would create the school and renovate a house. He would establish himself artistically in his new community with her

help. She would draw on his energy to launch the most productive period of her career, realizing her vision for the school and pushing for a new artistic landscape in the valley. They had shows. They hosted parties. They got a puppy. And then, mysteriously, they broke up. “We were both in long-term marriages before, so you know there’s always that piece in the back of your mind that you bring to the new relationship. A lot of the stuff that’s unresolved from the past—the hurts, the reservations you have,” she said. In the six months before the end, Harper got divorced. She moved from her parents’ farm, purging a lifetime with another man. His belongings. Her belongings. The accoutrement of a four-person existence, two babies and baggage. She got sick. They noticed their differences. She needed commitment. He seemed to pull back. From her vantage, it doesn’t feel over. “He’s so much in this space. He did all the floors and he chose the colour of all the furniture. On the other side of the fridge is one of his cartoon drawings and it’s all hidden. “Musically, he’s a genius…and painter, drawer, visionary. Just an amazing human being. But I think with that kind of genius also comes fragility.” Sometimes love has a season, she adds. She still isn’t sure it’s the end.

Mayor says city riding wave of new prosperity

Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray says while he hasn’t made up his mind about running for re-election, if Thursday’s annual State of the City address

to the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce was to be his last, he would be happy to exit on what he considers a high note. Gray has said he will make a decision about his political future before the end of March.

But, he added, his new council did start to do things to sent a message that the city was now less bureaucratic. And that, he added, attracted developers. “Kelowna is in a better position (now), the economy is growing,” said Gray.

His speech was a veritable greatest hits package of the nearly 2 1/2 years since the current council came to power, listing a myriad of projects ranging from the city’s $14-million revitalization of its main downtown street, Bernard Avenue, to transportation improvements and development projects realized and planned, and the Interior Health office tower downtown which will consolidate the health authority’s nearly 1,000 workers in a single office building. “That is an absolute highlight,” said Gray of the IH project, calling it potentially transformative for the downtown core because of the impact having so many more workers in the area will have for other area businesses. During his speech, Gray hearkened back to the phrase he used during the last municipal election—Kelowna is open for business—but this time he added city hall has removed the red tape.

were read. Our gaze held steadily. The love that shone in Bill’s eyes let me know we were doing the right thing. “As he held my trembling hands, I promised my love to him forever,” she said. That was over 20 years ago and they have since renewed their vows. “Two of our precious grandsons led us down a rooftop aisle covered in beautiful rose petals. “We knew nothing about this surprise vow renewal ceremony. “We were deeply touched by the kindness and surprised that the boys could keep such a secret,” she wrote. Bill has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Sixteen months after reading those vows, they are still fighting for every moment together. “I wish I could suffer for him,” she said. “…I would like to thank him for sharing his life, love and laughter with me.”

—by Tyler Czuba I, Tyler, was just signed to a professional hockey team in Miskolc, Hungary, and was then added to a Facebook fanpage for the team. I was very excited and checked out the Facebook page and, while I was looking, I saw that there was a girl added to the page on the same day— so I decided to send her a message and see if she spoke any English. I was so happy when she replied back and, not only did she speak English, but she was very, very beautiful. We started talking back and forth for a few months, leaving each other long messages and Skyping, even though the time difference was so tough. We did this every day and night until I was to arrive in Hungary. When I arrived, we were so excited to see each other as our relationship had grown over the months being halfway around the world from each other. The year went by fast as we had fallen in love.

Since hockey was over, I asked Alexandra to come back home with me to Canada. This was very exciting for both of us, but hard for her as she had to leave her life and family behind. Every morning of our new life, I brought Alexandra a coffee in bed to wake her up, then on the morning we moved into our first home in Canada, I brought her a ring. I was down on one knee with the diamond and the coffee and she said yes. There was still a little sadness because Alexandra had to return to Hungary to finish her degree. For the five months of separation our love grew even stronger. I figured we might as well have our wedding on the best day possible, picked a venue and sent her the date. Alexandra and Tyler will be married today.

SINGING A LOVE SONG

Dawn Keep didn’t expect to feel her heart fluttering once more, but wrote to say she has found a new love who respects her and cares for her in a very big way. “The man of my dreams and the love of my life was born on my birthday,” she wrote. It’s also her mother’s birthday, so their serendipitous connection, made over a drink at Tonic’s Pub a year ago, is all that more pleasing. “All the love songs seem to make perfect sense now for the first time in my life,” she said. “…Don’t get me wrong, it’s not all a bed of roses, but I am living the good life and appreciate every moment I can spend together with my soulmate and forever love.”

Mayor applauds city council’s record Gray from A4 One of the first acts the new council carried out when it took office in 2011 was to kill the advisory planning commission, which used to vet new development proposals. In addition to listing projects like plans for a new $42-million police building on Clement, adding 22 new police officers in the last few years, expanding the Rails With Trails off-road multi-use path to complete a 19-kilometre offroad path network encircling the city, using millions from the federal gas tax to help with environmental projects, road and bridge work and $25 million in new infrastructure in the Rutland area alone, Gray also pointed to partnerships as important for the city in recent years. Whether funding support came from the province, federal government or private business, he said it all was important to getting local projects completed here. He pointed to the city’s public pier that was paid for by a private developer but is a public amenity as an example. Edmonton-based Westcorp, which is planning to build a 24-storey tall hotel on the former site of the Willow Inn at the foot of Queensway, paid $5 million to build the pier and a nearby commercial dock, which it operates. (See story A15.) Gray said projects coming up include the very expensive plan to fix up Lakeshore Drive and rebuild the Lakeshore Drive bridge, expand the Queensway transit exchange, and add leftturn signals on Highway 97 at Gordon, Burtch and Cooper. The twin tower residential Monaco development at Doyle and St. Paul is also close to breaking ground, and Gray said he has been told a hotel will go into one of the towers. Gray also defended some of council’s actions, saying controversial moves like the recent hike in parking rates was something that was needed, not only to raise revenue but more importantly to create a better turnover of parking for business in the areas affected. The mayor also pointed to the city’s increasing reliance on the Internet to gather public feedback, saying more people respond to city initiatives and requests for input now via the web than turn up at

public open houses. He said public consultation is more important now than ever and the

city has made a concerted effort to do more of it when it comes to projects like area plans such as the

upcoming work it wants to do along the south Pandosy waterfront. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

To the editor: Re: Letter to the editor by Richard Drinnan: “Federal Gov’t Dishonours Veterans By Closing Offices, Feb. 6 Capital News. I’m afraid to comment and have my name shown for fear of repercussions from some folks I have discussed this matter with, now nine in total. They felt because the offices weren’t used much why spend the money to keep them open. I totally agree with Mr. Drinnan, along with some Veteran’s that live in the same manor as I do here in Kelowna.

At last a project with some stand-up appeal W hat better occasion to discuss plans to erect a giant phallus on Kelowna’s waterfront than Valentine’s Day? It’s a day when emotions are supposed to run hot, and plans for a sexy $65 million, 24-storey hotel at the base of Queensway are bound to heat things up in the city. Project proponents will offer seemingly sensible talk about how it will be a boon to the economy and simultaneously create a vibrant central hub in the downtown. (See story page A15.) The detractors—well, we know the Legion of No by now, don’t we Kelowna?

They’ll speak of green space, oldtimey Okanagan values, height, mass and the worth of never changing. Their battle cries will ring out in front of City Hall during at least one public hearing, as the Seemingly Sensibles roll

their eyes. Their cries are a good thing, actually. Every city needs a backbone, and there have been a few projects that butfor-the-recoil-from-their-forceful “no,” may have really twisted the character of the city. That insanely ornate CD-21 zone plan aimed at turning downtown Kelowna into a sea of skyscrapers comes

to mind. The question remains, however, whether the sharpened arrows of the reliable contingent of naysayers will fell a project with actual merit. It’s still early days for the Westcorp proposal. But thus far, plans show a compelling picture of what further downtown revitalization could amount to. It also seems like the proposed hotel is more fitting with what Kelowna has become in the last four years. Since the death of the CD-21 zone, a series of projects have slowly morphed the downtown and waterfront area into something far more appealing than its previously dodgy form.

▼ CANADA’S VETERANS

Vets don’t deserve bureaucratic runaround To the editor: RE: Veterans Affairs services. First of all, I am very saddened by the families whose loved ones have taken their own lives. Our brave boys and girls, mostly serving in Afghanistan, are fighting a two-faced desperate radical often wearing two “uniforms,” planting devastating roadside bombs is beyond imagination. In WWII, it was not any picnic and particularly the wounded fought their “battle wacky sticker” until they died fighting the first charter for adequate compensation. Having been wounded three times in 70 days in WWII, starting as a Combat Infantryman late July 1944 to 6 October 1944 from

France to Holland, I struggled to get pensioned—one of a number of injuries for my second wound took 63 years to win a small award. In 1948, a psychiatrist wrote that I was feigning wound problems that did not exist. The old appeal and appeal with signed statements before a Notary Public by close relatives were deemed insignificant and rejected; to start all over again. Far too much of the Veterans Affairs Canada budget still is going to bureaucracy. My recent call to VAC went through four offices scattered across Canada ending up in the Vancouver area. Some years ago there was a VCA staffer who lived in the Kootenay’s available through

TIMELESS QUALITY & COMFORT

a Kelowna office who was very helpful. At 92 I am a young WWII veteran who spent 37 plus years in the business side for a living, and feel VAC can be revamped to provide veterans the assistance they are entitled to in a timely fashion. The Second VAC Charter was approved by all parties with a review to take place by a Committee for action. It is time for the Opposition parties playing the name game to get on with making the changes, particularly lump sum nonsense, and look after our boys and girls we put in harm’s way now.

ask about

MPs take on services for Canada’s veterans To the editor: Setting the record straight on Veterans Affairs. The issue of Veterans Affairs Canada service locations is once again grabbing headlines, and it is doing so because of the amount of misinformation out there about the changes being made by our government. The fact is that Canada’s veterans will be better served now that employees at any one of 600 Service Canada locations across the country will be trained and equipped to provide those services in smaller communities. A veteran living in Dawson Creek or Mackenzie will be able to access service locally, instead of traveling to Prince George or

Edmonton to visit a VAC office. Veterans who did receive service from the now-closed VAC offices will not have to look for their new service point, as all of those cities have Service Canada locations in the same building or across the street. Veterans will receive face-to-face service from a real person at any Service Canada office, or go online if they wish to do so. Also, local constituency offices are more than willing and able to provide help to veterans in need of assistance. The Public Service Alliance of Canada, or PSAC, is spearheading the campaign against Veterans Affairs Canada. When the union launched their campaign

in July 2013, they failed to note that the Veterans Affairs office in Prince George had been closed for six months. They simply lump our community in with eight other offices that closed on Jan. 31, 2014. The union also does a grave disservice to their own members. They imply that Service Canada employees, who are also represented by PSAC, are incapable of putting the training they have received from Veterans Affairs Canada to good use. Since 2006, our government has invested nearly $4.7 billion in new funding to enhance veterans benefits, programs and services. Close to 90 per cent of the department’s budget goes to-

ward direct service and support for veterans services. In order to support Canadian veterans, Veterans Affairs Canada delivers a number of personalized benefits such as home visits by a registered nurse or case-manager, in addition to grass cutting, snow clearing and home cleaning services. We have also made improvements, increasing the number of case workers in the regions where veterans need them most, and opening and maintaining 17 Operational Stress Injury Clinics and 24 Integrated Personnel Support Centres near Canadian Forces Bases and in major city centres right across the country. I have family who are veterans. I truly care about

them and the quality of service they, and all veterans, receive. Our government has been extremely supportive of our veterans through several initiatives such as the Helmets to Hardhats program as well as doubling government contribution rates to the Burial Services Fund. Our government is working hard to serve our veterans as well as they have served Canada. The campaign by PSAC only serves to disrespect their own members working at Service Canada, and keeps veterans in the dark about the services available to them. Bob Zimmer MP, Prince GeorgePeace River

Conservatives lack compassion for war veterans Veterans from A8 One brother, who is now 90, is in hospital or he would be voicing his opinions loud and clear not only to the newspapers but also to MP Fantino [Julian Fantino, Minister of Veteran Affairs] and his colleagues for the lack of respect and

lack of compassion for our servicemen who have been enjoying their freedom because of our veterans. Many of those in Parliament obviously have not been in the front lines and experienced the horrors of the war or they would not have been so hard and callous to ensure

the [veterans] office closures. Should there be another war, every member of the Conservative government should be sent to the front lines to get a ‘taste of war.” I wrote Mr. Fantino, also Mr. [Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron] Cannon here in Kelowna. I probably won’t get a re-

Michaels from A8 new lighting fixtures and altered parking system are lovely. The waterfront pier— beautiful. That Stuart Park icerink is an absolute dream. Romance actually blooms

the next election. This was cruel, cold and shows a lack of compassion by our Conservative government. Tillie Howe, Kelowna

Removing the need to suck straws

Wade Paterson

STAFF REPORTER

Damjan Madjar has invented a product he hopes will make drinking liquids a little bit easier. His creation, Drink E-Z, is a cup that houses a micro-pump, which is powered by three AA batteries. When you push the button on the bottom of the cup, the pump forces the liquid up through the straw, allowing you to drink without sucking. “My friend and I, over

a couple drinks, thought of the idea,” said Madjar. “We kind of laughed it off, but still thought it would be a pretty neat novelty item to have.” Madjar said he realized the product may serve a more practical purpose after he spoke to a friend who had his jaw wired shut after surgery. “The only way he was feeding himself protein shakes and meal replacements was through a very large syringe on the side of his mouth. “He never wanted to

tential Drink E-Z customers. Working on the prototype stage took about a year, according to Madjar. During that time he researched what kind of pump to use and worked on the cup’s mechanics. Madjar started up an Indiegogo campaign Jan. 22, with the goal of raising $65,000 to make injection moulds and raise capital for a marketing budget. As of Feb. 13, with 29 days to go, the campaign had raised $1,880.

Kelowna mayor speaks out opposing Russia’s anti-gay law Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray has joined the international chorus of

politicians speaking out against Russia’s anti-gay law. Starting his annual State of the City address to the Kelowna Cham-

ber of Commerce Thursday (see story A4), Gray praised Canadian Olympic athletes, particularly local freestyle skier Kelsey Serwa and skel-

eton racer Eric Neilson who are both currently in Sochi competing for Canada. But he did not stop at simply wishing the ath-

letes well. Gray also slammed Russia for introducing a law that it says simply bans “gay propaganda” but is seen by

those outside of Russia as state-sanctioned homophobia. “One aspect of the games is that the Russian government has

moved away from tolerance, away from celebrating diversity by introducing Draconian laws,” said Gray. “Governments around the world have taken a leadership role by speaking out against this discrimination and I want to take this opportunity to say that the City of Kelowna unreservedly joins those jurisdictions than admonish Russia and (Russian President Vladamir) Putin.” Gray said the international Olympic Committee’s own statement on Olympic spirit says “to build a peaceful and better world which requires a mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.” “It must be noted that those ideals are not being met during these Games and that is most regrettable, in fact intolerant,” he added. Russia has angered many around the world with its lack of legal protection for gays lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered people. As a result of the law, many world leaders including Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, U.S. President Barak Obama and U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron refused to attend the opening ceremonies, sending representatives instead. Gray, who made headlines across B.C. for arbitrarily dropping the word Pride from a requested Gay Pride Day proclamation during his first tenure as mayor, has since forged what he and representatives of the local LGBT community have described as a good and supportive working relationship. Gray has spoken at the city’s annual gay pride festival opening ceremonies each year since being re-elected mayor in 2012. Since returning to the mayor’s office, Gray has spoken of the need for the city to celebrate diversity on several occasions. He points not only to the work he and the city have done to help the local gay pride festival grow into the popular multi-day event it has become, but also reaching out to other ethic groups in the city. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Acupuncture offers alternative options to treat shingles S hingles is a viral infection that causes a painful, itchy rash. Small, red blisters filled with fluid appear on one side of the spine, running towards the chest and abdomen. The blisters can also appear on the head, face, arms and legs. The shingles rash can be extremely painful, with burning, numbness or tingling sensations. Often the affected area is so sensitive that it is painful to have anything in contact with it, includ-

mant in the body’s nervous system. It can reactivate years later and return as shingles. Normally the blisters disappear within a couple of days to weeks, but frequently shingles can cause a painful complication called post-herpetic neuralgia, where the skin remains painful and sensitive to the touch after the shingles has cleared up. This condition can last a very long time and can flare up again at periods of stress or low resistance. It is caused by the

inflammation of nerves that have been damaged by shingles. In western medicine, shingles pain is treated with antidepressants, anti-convulsants, topical numbing agents, or narcotic painkillers. When diagnosed in an early stage, antiviral drugs like acyclovir can bring help to speed recovery and relieve symptoms, although they can be expensive. There are also vaccines which may help to prevent shingles. In traditional Chi-

nese medicine, shingles are caused by a condition called liver fire and dampheat. The dampness causes the fluids in the blisters and heat causes the redness, burning and itching of the skin. With this internal environment of damp heat, the virus is able to quickly grow and easily penetrate into the blood and move throughout the body. Commonly, if there is more dampness, there will be more blistering of fluids and the rash will ap-

pear in the lower parts of the body. If heat is predominant there will less fluids, and the blisters will show more redness and severe pain, and lesions can show on the upper part of the body. In either case, acupuncture can be remarkably effective in the acute shingles stage for relieving symptoms and helping the body to recover more quickly and more fully, thereby helping to prevent post-shingles nerve pain. Treatments help to improve circulation and relieve pain and irritation of the nerves. If post-herpetic neuralgia does occur following shingles, acupuncture can also be of great benefit to this complication. It can help relieve the symptoms during a flareup and may also promote better functioning of the nerves so that flare-ups are less likely to occur or

are milder when they do occur. Indeed, acupuncture is shown to be a great option for post-herpetic neuralgia, and can help you regain your lifestyle and live free of pain. It is very important not to wait too long before you decide to go for treatment. The longer you wait, the more damage the virus can do to the nerve roots and the harder it is to treat it (and the more painful the shingles becomes). A very advanced case of shingles can take many more treatments to resolve, as compared to patients with very early stages of shingles who have seen the problem clear up very quickly with acupuncture.

Downtown hotel project unveiled ASSISTANT EDITOR

The Edmonton-based developer that built, paid for and operates Kelowna’s new public pier and commercial marina, says the hotel it wants to build overlooking Okanagan Lake in the heart of downtown would include a 24-storey tower. Westcorp, which has made no secret of the fact it has wanted to build a hotel on the site at the foot of Queensway for years, said the proposed $65-million development (see photo of project’s artist rendering) would include the 24-storey, 206-room hotel, an 18,000-square-foot conference centre and 4,000-square-feet of retail space along Water Street. “This project will revive this area of Kelowna’s waterfront into the vibrant, central hub that it once was during the historic glory days of the original Willow Inn,” said Westcorp president and Kelowna property owner Phil Milroy in a news release. “It will connect the community’s waterfront with the downtown core through a pedestrian-only realm that will foster social activities and community interaction.” In addition to a formal application that has been made to the city, the company also briefed the Downtown Kelowna Association about the project earlier this week. If approved by the city, construction could start later this year with completion tentatively scheduled for early 2017. As part of the project, the company also wants the existing stretch of Mill Street that connects Bernard Avenue to Water Street closed and turned it into a pedestrian walkway that would have the existing Kerry Park on one side and the development

on the other. “It will connect the community’s waterfront with the downtown core through a pedestrian-only realm that will foster social activities and community interaction,” said Milroy. In addition to closing the road to create the pedestrian walkway, Kelowna city council will also be asked to vary the current 19-storey maximum building height allowed for the site. Westcorp officials locally say they feel their project could influence future development downtown. “Building on the energy created by the Bernard Avenue revitalization work and the new downtown marina, this hotel will be an exciting and active addition to the heart of the city,” said Gail Temple, Westcorp’s director of development. “The hotel’s world

class, contemporary architectural design will not only help to raise Kelowna’s profile, it will also act as a catalyst, and raise the bar, for future development in the downtown. The proposal envisions a curved tower designed by international architecture firm Kasian. “The hotel’s striking elliptical form is set within a podium that steps down to unite with Kerry Park, Bernard Avenue and the waterfront,” said Michael McDonald, the project’s lead architect with Kasian. “Together, with a material palette that has been drawn from the natural surroundings, we feel it reinforces the identity of the city and contributes to the emerging ‘Kelowna brand.’” Milroy and his company have wanted to build a new hotel at the foot of Queensway for several years. In 2010 his plans

were shot down by the council of the day when it rescinded the proposed CD-21 zone that would have allowed for redevelopment in the area. That proposal included use of part of Kerry Park for the hotel project. Since then, the area has been rezoned as part of the city’s Downtown Plan. Milroy also wanted to develop a large public plaza at what is now the south end of Stuart Park before the city was planning development of the park. In fact, the city’s first plan for Stuart was days away from being announced publicly when it learned of Milroy’s plans and that delayed the city’s first plan for the park. Last year, when he opened the $5-million public pier that his company paid for, Milroy said he hoped to proceed quickly with a hotel on the

now-vacant former Willow Inn site. Both he and Mayor Walter Gray said at the time the pier and commercial marina would enhance the area, especially for the company’s planned future development. awaters@kelownacapnew.com

NEWS ▼ CEDAR AVENUE

More questions than answers about site development B HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge the site. • Timing—Complete public engagement and any required rezoning by the fall of 2014. The wording of those parameters sparks concerns. I am pleased to see the site being used by the Kelowna Paddle Centre for canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, etc., and I understand its members are currently using one of the property homes as a headquarters. However, their use of the city property was quietly granted without council consent (that I am aware of), so I’m surprised there is an assumption that the group will apparently continue there and take an active role in the future planning charrette when no public process or concurrence has taken place. Regarding taxes, the city mandate is to “complete the development with no additional tax impact.” Give me a break. That mandate pretty much eliminates a park-only plan. “Incorporate a park and waterfront walkway as an integral part of the site.” Integral? How about the point of the site, not just a part of. “Complete public engagement and any required rezoning by the fall of 2014.” Since council and staff had two years to get around to this issue, a public process and then rezoning by the end of the fall of this year seems a bit rushed. Is this a way of avoiding it becoming a controversial election issue? Hmmm…. So, later this month a group of 30 people will sit down and discuss the plan, based on the criteria already established for the property by staff and apparently approved by council. Charrette members will also be asked to consider the input the public has given on an online website. The wheels on this wagon are weak and wobbly. Of the 30 spots for charrette members, 25 were appointed by staff, while only five were left

open for interested members of the public. At the time of this column’s crafting, more than 50 people had applied to be among those five members. The website is filled with lots of pretty pictures and cutesy questions, but none of them ask one key question: Do you support a commercial building on the site? The website asks residents to choose answers on a variety of issues and encourages input on lots of fluff—but

nothing about being opposed to a building which was really the main concern. All of which to me begs the questions: Is there a company or developer already involved with the site? I had to chuckle when reading one of the comments which suggested folks might like to see a dog park component at the site. During my three years on council, I tried several times to have a dog park established near the lake

anywhere in Kelowna and the majority of staff and council at the time would not give the concept a sniff of sincere interest—despite the interest of many residents. Suddenly, it is tossed in as a possibility. (I’ll bet my baseball card collection the dog-park idea never sees the light of day). Concerns over this project are more than just the assumption that there will be a commercial component. Other assumptions of note worth

asking include: • Who has actually selected the charrette members? • If this is truly a public process why is the session closed to the public, including media who supposedly represent the public? • What are they hiding or afraid of having the public hear? • Why is this planned charrette only discussing the seven properties on the north side of Cedar Avenue and not also the four properties on the

south side of the road? Surely a long-term future plan for the overall site should involve the overall site in total, not piecemeal. What does staff have in mind for the other four sites? What’s up with that? Under the current formula there are simply too many assumptions and gimmies involved already to persuade me this is truly an open and public process. Is this a charrette or a charade?

efore February has ended, the City of Kelowna will have played host to another charrette designed to create a plan for the future use of the waterfront property at Cedar Avenue. That process, however, is already under the microscope of public scrutiny and has inspired a fair amount of raised eyebrows. Rightfully so. I smell a skunk in the woodpile. While I am not opposed to a charrette process in theory, I do have serious concerns when a supposed open-minded planning process for the community is not really an open process or even open-minded. It seems to me that there is little transparency or open-minded thinking when questions asked or criteria set for surveys will only result in providing the answers desired. The Cedar Avenue beach development caused significant debate at City Hall some two years ago. Numerous Cedar Avenue area residents voiced concerns, as did the majority of neighbourhood association members. At the top of the list of concerns was: Should a commercial building be allowed or should the 11 properties involved be simply kept as park land? Suggestions included a walkway, possible restaurant, and a commercial building of at least two storeys. Council back then, which I was a part of, was torn over the debate. Many residents insisted the site had long been tagged for future park use. Now, it seems, the current council may have lost site of the real issue and the supposed open-minded process is really not so open-minded. The current council endorsed a set of eight project parameters or guidelines for the redevelopment planning. Among the eight are: • Paddle Centre— Accommodate Kelowna Paddle Centre within redevelopment scenarios, including up to 5,000 square feet of space. • Financial Viability— Complete the development with no additional tax impact . • Park—Incorporate a park and waterfront walkway as an integral part of

Consolation in Brier after Olympic bid Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

You might say Kelowna’s Tyrell Griffith is a different curler today than he was as a multiple-time junior champion, or even since his first appearance at the Canadian men’s curling championships at the 2012 Brier. Now 28, Griffith is part of the front-end on what is one of the top curling rinks in Canada and the world, playing alongside two of the top players in the country in skip John Morris and fourth Jim Cotter. Griffith, who throws second stones for the Morris rink and teams with fellow Kelowna curler Rick Sawatsky to form a solid front end, is set to attend his second Brier after their Vernon/Kelowna rink claimed the B.C. Championship last weekend at the Vancouver Curling Club. “We’ve come so far in the last couple years, especially myself,” said

Griffith, back home in Kelowna this week. “2012 was my first year and when I went I was just like a kid. I was so excited. I have a little more experience now.” And so does his rink. Not only has it changed since that first trip to the Brier and is now skipped by John Morris with Cotter throwing fourth stones, the foursome had to deal with the adversity of coming close but falling just short of winning the Olympic trials and representing Canada at the Sochi games. That was in December when the Morris rink lost to Brad Jacobs in the finals. After that they took over a month off before regrouping to focus on the B.C. Championships, the Brier and a possible trip to the World Championships. “We worked our tails off for the last year and our focus was the Olympics,” said Griffith. “It hurt so bad to not go, especially getting that close.

REBECCA CONNOP-PRICE/CONTRIBUTED

KELOWNA curler Tyrell Griffith (left), here sweeping with Jim Cotter, is off to the Tim Horton’s Brier as a member of the John Morris rink after they claimed the B.C. Championship. The fourth member of the rink is Kelowna’s Rick Sawatsky. But we just needed to re-focus. we have such a great team that we all supported each other. We gave ourselves some time away and that allowed us to play really good curling last week.” This year’s Brier will

be held in Kamloops. It’s the first time the event has come back to B.C. since 1996 when it was again held in Kamloops. Griffith was just 11-years-old at the time and had just taken up the sport of curling.

Now he and his teammates will be playing in front of family and friends in what is as close to a hometown Brier as you can get for the Okanagan foursome. “It’s going to be really exciting for all of us to

be able to play in front of our family and friends,” he said. “It’s been such a great year. We’ve played in so many big events already and now we are off to the Brier. The great thing about the Brier is the tradition of the sport. It’s

the national championship. It’s the pinnacle of the sport.” The Tim Hortons Brier takes place March 1-9 in the Interior Savings Centre in Kamloops. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

▼ SENIOR CURLING CHAMPS

Best senior curlers in B.C. head to Comox Valley next week The Comox Valley will be playing host to the province’s best senior curlers next week including the Gerry Gelowitz rink out of Kelowna, when the 2014 Tim Hortons BC Senior Curling Championships take place Feb. 17 to 22.

Eight men’s and eight women’s teams qualified through regional playdowns and will now compete for the B.C. senior curling crown. The winners will go to nationals in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories – the first ever national curling event to be held

in the territories. The Gelowitz rink includes Gerry Richard at third, second Grant Snow and lead Dennis Case. Judy Francis, chair of the host committee, said the Comox Valley Curling Club is proud to be host-

ing the event, which will bring together more than 64 curlers and their families. More than 60 volunteers from the Comox Valley have been working very hard to make sure these are the best championships ever. There has

also been fantastic support from local businesses. There will be three draws per day (9:30 a.m., 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.) with the first draw on February 18th.

Shea Weber and Jamie Benn scored Team Canada’s first two goals of the tournament, while Duncan Keith had an assist on Weber’s tournament opening goal for Canada, who began the event with a 3-1 win over Norway on Thursday.

The three former Rockets on Team Canada are among six former Rockets and nearly 40 WHL alumni playing in the Olympic hockey tournament. Canada will play Austria on Friday, whose roster includes former Rockets player Thomas Raffl.

QB Giordy Belfiore (Vancouver College Fighting Irish) went 8-for12 in the air throwing for 108 yards and one touchdown and was named game MVP for Team BC in the victory. Belfiore led Team BC to a score on their opening drive of the game connecting with Tyler Moxin (North Delta Longhorns) in the end zone to put Team BC up 7-0 early following the convert. The Americans would respond with a touchdown of their own just before half-time to even the score at 7-7. That score would hold until just shy of the halfway mark of the fourth quarter when LB Matteo Triggiano (Notre Dame Jugglers) blocked a USA punt allowing Team BC to recovery on the 10-yard line. The turnover would ultimately lead to a field goal by RB Adam Turrin (Notre Dame Jugglers). The Americans would have one final attempt to engineer a game-winning drive after getting the ball back with 68 seconds left in the contest but their last gasp attempt would be ended by DB Cole Theobald (Argyle Pipers) who picked off a pass to seal the deal for Team BC.

It’s likely that Johann Sebastian Bach celebrated his birthday the way most of us do—surrounded by friends and special music. And that’s just what the Early Music Studio plans to do for its March 8 event Bach’s Birthday Concert, to be held at Bottega, 4485 Sallows Rd. in East Kelowna. There will be plenty of music and even a Bach birthday cake. In this concert celebrating Bach’s 329th birthday, lutenist Clive Titmuss and harpsichordist Susan Adams explore new insights into the sparkling solo music that Bach wrote. How did Bach’s signature style come about, and for which gifted players did he write his unique and personal early works? The players of the Early Music Studio present a performance in the lucid Baroque style for which they have become renowned, which explores the psychology that lies under Bach’s enduring genius. One of the world’s great creators, Bach was a simple and good-humoured man, who enjoyed family life and trading ideas with colleagues. As his fame grew, he came into contact with other famous

hosted by Bottega will be Susan Adams on harpsichord and Clive Titmuss on the lute. virtuoso players, who asked him for new compositions. He obliged by re-working favourite music compositions from his early years, when his responsibilities had been lighter and he had more time to write for no reason other than the pleasure it brought him. Bach’s willingness to create music for its own sake ensured his place among the world’s most revered artists. Sometime in the 1730s, Bach had a visit from the most highly paid musician at the Saxon court. Sylvius Leopold Weiss was a lute player whose music may have influenced Bach’s own writing. During Weiss’s visit, it is possible that Bach demonstrated a new instrument he had commissioned—a harpsichord with lute strings that, according to one writer, was “supposed to fool the ear of a professional lutenist.” It is easy to imagine Weiss’s surprise when Bach sat at the instrument and masterfully played passages of his music written to imitate the lute

style, but with the speed and bravura of his most difficult keyboard music. Titmuss will play a group of pieces that Bach wrote early in his career, and later arranged for a lutenist to play. “I don’t feel that the music was originally written at the lute, but probably at the keyboard. It is a brilliant composition and a convincing imitation of the lute style. It’s an intriguing question: was Weiss’ ear fooled? He must certainly have been astonished,” Titmuss says. An internationally known luthier, Titmuss has arranged the piece to play on a 24-string Baroque lute, which he designed specifically to play the music of Bach.

Well, American Hustle is another blockbuster film and only time will tell if it is successful in reviving ’70s music (and disco) although you could argue that is what classic rock radio is all about. American Hustle is loaded with past hits from Elton John, ELO, Donna Summer, Tom Jones, Bee Gees, America and Harold Melvin, while it is somewhat ironic that one of the biggest hit soundtrack songs of all time, Live And Let Die by Paul McCartney’s Wings, is also included.

Luck, they say, is a huge part of success. For a few years the singer/ songwriting duo of Ian Alex and Chad Vaccarino—a.k.a. A Great Big World—knocked about New York until their song This Is The New Year (included here) was picked up to be sung on an episode of Glee. Their careers then quickly took off where this debut is in the top 10 while the single Say Something is a smash hit as a duet with Christina Aguilera. The rest of this CD ranges from better than average pop to excellent songcraft with highlights like the Todd Rundgren-styled Land Of Opportunity and the Barenaked Ladies-like Shorty Don’t Wait.

COURTESY CAPE TOWN TOURISM

CAPE Town boasts natural beauty, a world-renowned food and wine scene.

Cape Town—natural beauty, world-renowned food, wine Stephanie Allmon CONTRIBUTOR

CAPE TOWN, South Africa—I’m normally not a morning person. But by 5 a.m. on my first full day in Cape Town, the sun has risen high enough to peel back the curtain of night and reveal the majesty of Table Mountain. My hotel balcony provides a front-and-centre seat for this morning tableau. Sleep no longer interests me.

And the city will hold the title of World Design Capital for the year. It will play host to many events that showcase the theme “Live Design.

WEST KELOWNA

THURSDAYS

South Africa has much to offer Cape Town from A25 outlying wine region. Cape Town has become a new frontier for chefs around the world, such as Nobuyuki Matsuhisa, who opened the first and only South African outpost of his eponymous restaurant Nobu there in 2009. The city is home to eight of the top 10 South African restaurants listed in the 2012 Eat Out Awards, and the country’s only two restaurants to make it into the 2012 San Pellegrino World’s Best Awards. At every turn, it’s also possible to savour the traditional dishes, speckled and spiced with global influences, that helped shaped the region. And in the Cape Winelands, centuries-old winemakers are using new technology to produce world-class wines. On a sunny Saturday morning, locals pack

in, elbow to elbow, to the Neighbourgoods Market at the Old Biscuit Mill, a bustling “village” of restaurants, cafes and shops in the Woodstock neighbourhood, which is undergoing a renaissance much like that of Fort Worth’s near south side. Local vendors sell organic dried fruit, dozens of types of mushrooms, freshly baked macaroons, flatbread pizzas, pork belly pies, ice cream and hundreds of other products and foods. Some give out samples; all allow patrons to enjoy their purchases on long tables in the middle of the market. I arrive with a small group on an excursion with two Cape Town food and travel experts, Dawn Jorgensen and Ishay Govender-Ypma; they run The Food and The Fabulous Food Tours, customizable food experiences that delve into the heart of the city’s culinary scene. Before 11 a.m., I’ve tasted craft beers from Darling Brew, noshed on velvety mozzarella di bufala from Buffalo Ridge, sipped a tall rooibos iced tea, chewed on tuna Biltong (a South African jerky) and sampled a favourite local pastry called a Flying Dutchman, which closely resembles a New Orleans beignet. This is just one example, our guides tell us, of an emerging “market culture” in Cape Town and a new commitment to support local farmers and food purveyors.

The Old Biscuit Mill was once, indeed, a biscuit (cookie) factory, and it is evidence of the “what’s old is new” trend that is feeding the city’s culinary pursuits. It’s where British superstar chef Luke Dale-Roberts opened his fine-dining restaurant The Test Kitchen to rave reviews in 2010. In 2012, he followed up with the critically praised The Pot Luck Club, on the sixth floor in the silo of the Biscuit Mill. They are among the hardest reservations to get in town. With the summer sun searing, our “fab food” tour takes us a step further back in time, to the Bo-Kaap, or Cape Malay Quarter of town. With its brightly coloured semi-detached homes, Bo Kaap has become a backdrop for high-fashion magazine shoots (The Huffington Post listed it among the most colourful places in the world). Once the home of freed slaves, the predominantly Muslim area—site of the oldest mosque in the country— has had an indelible influence on South African cuisine. A resident of the area guides us up and down the hilly cobblestone streets and leads us into a spice shop, where we can smell and taste the aromas and flavours—coriander, turmeric, garlic—that make this cooking, brought here in the 17th and 18th centuries by slaves from the Dutch East Indies, so dis-

tinct. We feast alfresco on a lunch of traditional Cape Malay foods such as lamb curry and samosas, prepared by women who have made it their mission to preserve the beloved food of their ancestry by conducting these tours and compiling recipes into a forthcoming cookbook. No “local food tour” would be complete, of course, without a dip into the local beverage scene. Craft brews are big news. In the early evening, still with our expert food guides, we find ourselves at the Beerhouse, a new watering hole on vibrant Long Street that actually does have 99 bottles of beer on the menu. We “rock around the clock,” sampling 12 brews. After a dinner of traditional sausage called boerewors at the Gourmet Boerie cafe, our group bar-hops down Long Street among crowds of mostly young Capetonians making the most of a mild summer Saturday night. Craft beer may be a new trend here, but throughout South Africa, there is a long and rich history of producing firstrate wines—and lots of them. President Barack Obama toasted his 2008 election win with a South African Graham Beck Brut NV, reportedly his favourite sparkling wine. (Central Market stores carry a limited selection.)

Traditional white Cape Dutch-style homes dot the landscape, and bright pink bougainvillea grows next to the road in this picturesque countryside. With its mild Mediterranean climate and limited rainfall, the Western Cape region has been home to a wine industry dating to the 1600s. Today, wines from the region are scoring ratings higher than French Burgundies in worldwide competitions. Entire vacations can be spent in the wine country; it would be a shame for teetotalers not to spend at least part of one day taking in this beautiful scenery, too. Many of the wineries offer daily tours and tastings. Visitors can easily drive in and out of the city or make a home base of one of the region’s charming towns—Franschhoek, Stellenbosch, Paarl—which abound with boutique hotels, shops and eateries. Accompanied this time by Luvo Ntezo, award-winning head

sommelier at One&Only Cape Town resort, my group’s day in the winelands begins with breakfast at Le Quartier Francais, an exclusive but cozy hotel in Franschhoek. The hotel is home to another of the region’s top-rated restaurants, The Tasting Room, headed by imaginative chef Margot Janse and decorated by her brother—an opera set designer—with endearing touches like wallpaper made of candy foil wrapping from Paris. The first of two wine tastings of the day comes in Stellenbosch at Tokara, a sprawling operation that produces a variety of site-specific wines, made entirely of its own grapes from three vineyard. My favourite in a tasting of eight wines (and a brandy, which Tokara also makes) is the 2012 Director’s Reserve white, a blend of 74 per cent sauvignon blanc and 26 per cent semillon grapes. I could drink this with every meal. (And, yes, that includes breakfast.) Tokara also is home to a rapidly growing olive oil business. A restaurant serving locally sourced cuisine, a deli shop selling gourmet goodies like truffles and coffees, and an

outdoor playground with sweeping views of the mountains beckon visitors to linger into evening. Nederburg is the second winery of the day. Founded in 1791, it is one of the region’s best known wineries, recognized not just for its award-winning wines but for its place in South African wine history. The Nederburg Auction was established in 1975 to showcase the country’s finest wines. The annual event has become one of the five most important auctions in the world; it’s a glamorous, invitation-only occasion. After a tasting of more than a dozen wines—my favourite is another white, a blend of eight grapes called Ingenuity. We relax on swings in the big trees as we sip our last glasses of wine before heading back to the city. Exotic Cape Town is an in-demand location for film shoots and a glamorous vacation destination for celebrities (Meryl Streep, Jeff Bridges, Katie Holmes and Taylor Swift were in town recently shooting the forthcoming The Giver; Britain’s Prince Harry was spotted before Christmas). Luxury hotel bookings in 2013 were up by

almost 17 per cent over the previous year’s, according to South African Airways’ Sawubona magazine. The five-year-old One&Only Cape Town resort, home base for my visit, has hosted a roster of VIPs from every corner of the globe. Actor Denzel Washington, U2 frontman Bono, former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan and Mandela himself have all stayed here. Its seven-story Marina Rise, steps from the stylish Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, offers 91 spacious rooms and suites, all

of which have either “my” magnificent view of Table Mountain or of the pretty harbour side; 40 more rooms and suites get their own private island. With plush in-room amenities like a pillow menu, oversize bath and shower, and multimedia entertainment system, it’s tempting to settle in and nurse jet lag awhile. But, oh, what a mistake that would be.

Looks Last year, Nissan introduced the bigger mid-sized Pathfinder SUV and this smaller Rogue shares many styling cues from its bigger brother. This, in my opinion, is a good idea. It has a sense of purpose, sophistication and commonality that helps define Nissan’s brand. Nissan wants to portray “everyday premium” with this new Rogue, including such nice touches as LED daytime running lights, wheel arch extensions, integrated mirror turn

7-passenger SUV. Granted, the third row is tight but perfect for those occasional times when extra family members are in town. In addition, this package includes navigation, a 7-inch touch screen monitor, power lift gate, blind-spot detection system, and lane departure warning system. These really are premium features found only in luxury SUVs just a few short years ago. Unfortunately, the top SL trim is only available in a two-row 5-seat configuration because

it was felt the price would be too high for compact SUV buyers. Drive As hard as it might be to believe, this new, larger and slightly heavier (49kg) Rogue is actually more fuel-efficient than the last model. They were able to improve the economy by 18 per cent through the introduction of a new continuously variable transmission (CVT), aerodynamic tricks, and letting the carried-over engine breathe a bit better. Still rated at 170hp, the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine does a good job in city driving, thanks to the gearing of the new CVT but can seam a bit underpowered for higher, passing manouevre on the highway. Overall, the person filling the new Rogue up with fuel will welcome this balance of efficiency and everyday drivability. As part of the winter driving experience, I drove on an ice course in Macaglisse, Que., to highlight the vehicle’s stability system and the Active Trace Control feature. On the first run, through the twisty, sheer ice roads the entire system was shut off. As I crested a hill, then made a hard right turn, the Rogue slid all

the way out to the edges of the corner, almost hitting the opposing snow bank. On the second run, with the advanced systems on, the same road was almost uneventful. The stability and traction control kept the wheels from spinning but the Trace Control System provides just a slight amount of brake force to the inside wheels to help the Rogue navigate the sheet ice with confidence. Verdict The objective with this new Rogue was to be noticed and provide a level of refinement and creature comforts that the competition isn’t providing. The pricing is fantastic, especially the middle SV models. The larger interior dimensions will always be welcome, as buyers like to get more for their money, but it is still small and efficient enough for city buyers.

Safety Tip: Distracted driving is the third leading cause of car crash fatalities in our province, which is why police are out in full force this month as part of a province-wide distracted driving campaign.

Leaving Detroit for adventures in trusting your GPS

2014 Jeep Cherokee.

The digital road sign above warned: “Changing Roads Ahead. Do not rely solely on GPS.” I felt like it was speaking directly to me as I had suffered anxiety ever since Driveway editor Keith Morgan climbed into the Jeep Cherokee and we left downtown Detroit, heading north to Toronto. North, ahem, yes. The tunnel to Canada was a stone’s throw away from our launch point. I was thinking it would route me the same way I

I was looking forward to a long and painfully boring drive home … my wish was not yet coming true.

’’

Alexandra Straub

got down to Motown, via Windsor and through the tunnel. Why the GPS didn’t? – I’m not sure. Clearly it knew something we didn’t. Needless to say, the mechanical woman’s voice echoing through the premium speakers certainly did give us a scenic tour of the area. And by scenic I mean, she guided us through some rather dodgy areas, characterized by poorly maintained roads, broken down buildings and dejected looking people. After the excitement of the 2014 North American International Auto Show, I was looking forward to the long and painfully boring drive back. (That’s before Keith hitched a ride, honest.) My wish was not yet coming true. Finally, we were on some sort of highway. But no signs to a border popped up for miles and miles. We even pulled over a couple of times in the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited to check our smartphones to see if we were heading in the right direction. We were, but I guess I was just looking for a sign. A sign that said “Canada” on it. But no, we got this instead: “State Prison Nearby. Do NOT Pick Up Hitchhikers.” Gulp. Keith and I looked over at each other and laughed nervously. Oh gosh, what have we gotten ourselves into? – Regardless, we were in it together so it was bound to be eventful. I forgot to mention, my fuel was getting low, too, and I had a flight to catch out of Pearson. No need to panic, I think. When you’re in these kinds of situations, you say things that you normally wouldn’t say. “I will be so happy when we are back in Ontario,” is a phrase not often uttered

by a B.C. resident. But it fell from my lips. Desperate times call for desperate measures, right? The one thing that remained steadfast and calm throughout the craziness was the Jeep Cherokee. The leather-trimmed seats were plush and comfortable to sit in for hours on end. When I started veering off the straight and narrow – aka out of my lane – the lane departure warning would gently lead me back into place. And since it was frigid outside – Ontario and Michigan in January is anything but tropical – features like a remote starter, heated seats, a heated steering wheel and dual climate zone controls keep occupants toasty warm. Not to mention there was a generous amount of power being delivered from its 3.2L, Pentastar V6 engine, which is rated at 271 horsepower and 239 lb-ft of torque. It’s then linked to a 9-speed automatic transmission. And with 4x4 capabilities, I was ready to brave the winter conditions, on bare roads or not. Luckily, it was a beautiful day, with few clouds in the sky and clear roads. Things were looking good. Then it happened. A sign. A sign to Canada nonetheless. Looks like we’d been routed through Sarnia. I was doing a little happy dance on the inside. Did I doubt the GPS’s ability to lead? I sure did. Then again, it’s not out of my character to question authority. As we handed the CBSA our passports, all I could think about was finding a fuel station before we got stranded. And yes, I was very happy to be in Ontario. But I’d be happier when I knew I was on a plane to Vancouver. Yet, I was thoroughly enjoying my time in the Cherokee, quirky styling and anxiety aside. It had an ability to somewhat calm my woes due to its temperate nature. The quiet cabin allowed for wonderful conversations, whether it was with myself, with the GPS or with Keith. In addition, I managed to learn a lot from road signs. I will not wholeheartedly rely on the GPS and will not pick up hitchhikers in Michigan. www.jeep.ca Alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Nissan Juke: Extraordinarily out of the ordinary

Nissan Juke 2011 to 2013 If you’re looking for something a little out of the ordinary, then check out a Nissan Juke. It was described by Nissan as a sport cross-utility vehicle, when introduced for the 2011 model year. The Juke is not big or pricey; it has (let’s say) distinctive styling lines and it packs a hot little engine under hood that also provides excellent fuel economy. It is short in length yet tall in stature and has a wide stance with short front/ rear body overhangs. The round headlights were rally car-inspired and are topped by distinctive “crocodile eye” light combinations. From a side view, the Juke has a two-door coupe look with “hidden” rear door handles. Even a base SV trim level of Juke comes surprisingly well equipped with alloy wheels, keyless entry, air

peeks at an impressively high 188 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. While its fuel economy ratings are a super-frugal 7.3/6.1 L/100 km (city/highway), this engine does prefer pricier premium fuel. An optional all-wheel-drive (AWD) system comes with a torque-vectoring feature on the rear axle. Under normal driving conditions, it directs all drive power to the front wheels for best fuel economy. It can (automatically) vary drive up to an equal split between the front and rear axles. An I-Con display with a drive mode selector, which offers different throttle/ transmission/steering response settings, comes with the higher SL trim level. This trim also includes fog lights, a power moonroof, push-button start and climate control air conditioning. A 6-speed manual transmission was standard

with the front-drive models and the automatic is a CVT type. Despite Juke’s compact exterior dimensions, there’s seating space (with a bit of a squeeze) for five adults on the inside. The rear seat is a handy fold-down 60/40-split bench that folds flat to provide an extended

cargo floor. Juke’s centre console is a motorcycle-inspired design that has a high-gloss (colour-matched) painted finish. The design and slope of the roof at the back, however, does limit rear vision from a driver perspective. Juke carried-over into the 2012 model year virtually

unchanged and had only minor alterations for 2013. The Navigation package includes a rear view monitor and a stereo upgrade (that was standard on Juke SL). The NHTSA overall crash test safety rating (front/ side/rollover) for Juke was 4 out of 5 stars, with a 3 out of 5 stars in its frontal

impact test. It received a coveted “recommended” buy rating from Consumer Reports and an overall “average” rating for reliability.

Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase. Safety Recalls: 2011 to 2013 Nissan Juke: 2011: A weld at the boost sensor bracket may fail, allowing the bracket to separate from the air inlet tube. If this occurred, the engine would enter fail-safe driving mode with reduced motive power. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the air inlet tube assembly. 2011/2012: The fuel pressure sensor connected to the engine fuel delivery rail may not have been sufficiently tightened during vehicle assembly and could leak. Dealers will inspect for fuel leakage from the pressure sensor, tightened to specifications or repair as necessary. 2012: The rear seat latch strikers (which secure the seat backrest in the upright position) may be faulty and could deform during a frontal vehicle crash, increasing the risk of injury to rear seat occupants. Dealers will replace defective rear seat latch strikers. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc. ca

Take a winch: to the wild outdoors There have been very few times that I have gone four wheeling and not run into a situation where a winch is required. A winch can be an important tool in safely plucking a vehicle from an impossible situation, or righting a truck after a rollover. It can also be used to clear properties of logs or rocks. If you travel the back-roads of British Columbia, you should never be without a winch. There are a few things to know before you operate your winch for the first time. What appears to be a simple operation can quickly turn dangerous if basic safe winching practices are not used. Most are equipped with a varying length of wire rope and the length of the rope is determined by the winch’s load capacity. The wire rope should be inspected regularly to ensure that it has not become crushed, pinched, frayed, or kinked at any point. Should the rope be damaged, it should be replaced before use to avoid injury. All winch owners should have a winch accessory kit to recover a vehicle properly and safely. The average kit includes a three-metre chocker chain, a clevis, snatch block, five-centimetre tree trunk protector, gloves, and a carrying case. Prices are generally between $250 and $375 depending upon the manufacturer. Most winches are offered with a winch

hook strap to ensure that operators do not put hands and fingers in harm’s way. Always wear gloves when operating a winch or handling wire rope. A single line pull is one of the most basic winching operations. It involves rigging the wire rope to a stable anchoring point and spooling it in to pull the vehicle toward the anchor point. This type of pull can also be used to extract a truck without a winch; the winch equipped truck becomes the anchor point and the stuck vehicle is pulled toward it. It is a good idea to throw a jacket or blanket over the wire rope midway between the winch and the anchor point. This will prevent the cable from whipping back to the truck in the event of breakage. A tree can serve as an excellent anchor point, but never attempt to wrap a wire rope or chain around it. In addition to being extremely dangerous, this improper winching practice can damage or kill

the tree. Use a tree saver strap, along with a clevis. When a truck is seriously stuck, more winching power can be achieved through a double line pull. To do so, un-spool a length of a line from the drum and thread it through a snatch block. The cable’s hook can then be fastened to an anchor point on the trucks frame or tow hook, and the snatch block will secure to an anchor point toward the direction of the pull. This method decreases the number of layers of wire rope on the drum and greatly increases pulling power. A snatch block can also be used to change the direction of the pull, without the wire rope collecting on one side of the drum. If you have followed the basic principle of four-wheeling and brought a buddy or a second vehicle, then chances are you will have some assistance in the recovery. Sometimes all a stuck vehicle needs is a little motivation. In those instances, a quality recovery strap ($53) will work fine. Knowing how to operate a winch correctly is as important as knowing how to drive the 4x4 it is mounted to. Misuse can result in injury or even death, so it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with your winch before reaching a situation where you need to use it. ian.harwood@drivewaybc. ca

These clowns also do not seem to care if traffic is backed up behind them for blocks; they seem to think their time is more important than that of others. It’s not illegal to turn left across such lines as long as the manoeuvre does not cause back-ups as described by the reader.

you choose it over an entry that could potentially save lives or reduce the severity of injuries in a collision. In addition, dual awards also helps spread the love around as we get some terrific entries that deserve more exposure. This year was no exception and we had some brilliant entries from Honda, Ford, General Motors Toyota and Mercedes-Benz. The quality of the powertrain, braking, steering and active safety systems entries made

the decision process very difficult. Driving enthusiasts, almost universally, have a negative knee-jerk reaction to severing that mechanical link between the steering wheel and road wheels. Direct Adaptive Steering (DAS) is a bold move by Infiniti and it had the guile, and the racing connections, to involve the best driver in the world (four-time F1 Champion) Sebastian Vettel in the development of Q50. On the plus side, DAS eliminates the mechanical losses that can dull and

delay steering response to driver inputs in a mechanical/hydraulic steering system. Harsh unwanted vibrations at the steering wheel are eliminated and the driver can choose, using a four-mode selector, the amount of steering effort and response that he or she prefers. DAS can also interact with other handling systems such as Infiniti’s Active Lane Control system, which makes the Q50 feel like it is “magnetized” within a traffic lane. An electronic actuator

moves the steering rack, in response to steering wheel inputs by the driver, and turns the front wheels, during normal operation. It provides a faster and more precise steering response. DAS also has a triple-mode (three control units) clutch feature that instantly defaults it to a fail-safe mechanical steering linkage, if electrical power is cut. The Best New Safety Technology award went to Infiniti’s Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW) technology. This system can warn a driver of a potential

collision risk that actually lies beyond a driver’s normal field of view. PFCW not only monitors movement of a vehicle that’s directly ahead in the same traffic lane, it can also (mystically) monitor a vehicle (two cars ahead) in front of the vehicle directly ahead. PFCW can be particularly useful when following a large vehicle that obstructs forward vision like a delivery truck or a bus. Distance Control Assist sensors warn the driver to begin braking when it detects either one of the vehicles ahead are

decelerating or braking at a rate beyond a certain threshold. The warnings consist of a visual alert in the Q50’s instrument cluster, an audible warning, and what’s call a “haptic” feedback warning, by tightening the seatbelt. If the driver ignores all of those warnings a collision intervention system kicks-in and applies the brakes. The maximum range of the PFCW system is about 250 meters, but there are a lot of variables that might reduce its effectiveness. An important one

Call Bannister Cadillac Buick GMC Ltd. at 250-860-7700, or visit us at 2727 Highway 97 North, Kelowna. [License #9748]

is the amount of ground clearance offered by the vehicle directly ahead, as the low-mounted PFCW radar unit has to be able to see under it.

And while Mopar fans worship the way later cars were simply called the ’Cuda, we remain fans of the full name. • Aston Martin Vanquish: Vanquish is generally defined as follows: To utterly defeat; soundly thrash or beat; to overpower, subjugate or subdue.

Shakespeare famously asked, “What’s in a name?” Frankly, in the automotive world, a hell of a lot. It’s difficult to imagine a Corvette called anything else. Yet, it’s not on my list of cool names because, prior to its application to America’s sports car, a corvette was a not-quite-a-destroyer type of small anti-submarine boat. The name only became cool after the Corvette became a success (which didn’t exactly happen overnight). These six car names are just cool. • Mercury Marauder: The name conjures up bands of roving barbarians. In addition to providing basic transportation, who wouldn’t want a car that’s also proficient at looting and pillaging? • Ferrari 500 Superfast: Even in the early 1960s, using this name took cojones —something that Enzo Ferrari never lacked. It’s almost over-the-top comical, not unlike Wile E. Coyote’s business card, which listed his occupation as “Super Genius.” One can only imagine the response of today’s product liability lawyers to this one. • Ford Mustang: While the association with the car doesn’t hurt, the name Mustang was cool long before the car debuted in April 1964. Whether it’s the war-winning fighter plane the P-51 Mustang or the wild horse (the car was actually named for the former), it’s just plain cool. • Shelby Cobra: As venomous snakes go, Cobras

LEDs light up the night Light emitting diode (LED) lights are taking over the automotive industry. These lights are made from extremely small semiconductor diodes. Instead of a filament in standard lights, an LED creates light using the movement of electricity along the path of its semiconductor. As the electrons stream across the semiconductor, they create electromagnetic radiation which can take the form of light. LED lights are becoming increasing popular these days on trucks. They not only give you incredible light but they draw so little amperage. This is a real advantage over adding a second alternator or constantly having to jump-start your dead battery.

Rigid industries are a pioneer in this new off-road light technology. They offer many different kinds of lights. The dually light is a small 3” x 3” cube that has 1300 lumens of light that has the same output as a 50w light while only drawing 15 watts. E-series lights are LED light bars that come in various lengths. The 6” E-series light is available in a flood, spot, or a combo. It also has a 50,000+ life span and draws 1.77 amps. For some serious amount of light, there are the 30”, 40” and 50” light bars. Rigid now offers curved lights that fit across the top of the windshield.

It is with extremely heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of our dearly loved husband, father, papa and poppy on February 10, 2014. Ray had such strength, determination and positive spirit in his fight against an aggressive leukemia. Ray is survived by his loving wife and partner, Beryl of 52 years; daughter, Sheri-rae (Claude); son, Mason and so dearly loved grandchildren, Brynn and Kai. Also survived by his brother, Barry and sister, Gail. Predeceased by his dearly beloved grandmother, Daisy. In 1972, Ray and Beryl moved to BC, enjoying success in business and real estate. They enjoyed 36 years of winter holidays in Palm Springs, California, forming many dear friendships. Ray was a proud member of the 12 step program for 35 years. He was known for his positive outlook and great sense of humour and his love for family. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him. Sincere appreciation to nurse Margaret for her love and support, Dr. Nick and the nursing staff on 6W at KGH. A private family service will be held. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the BC Cancer Agency in memory of Ray. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.everdenrust.com. 250-860-6440

CORRADO, JAN Mom was born to Paddy and Dorothy Dougan (LaFace) in Rossland, BC on December 9th 1940. With her brother Patrick and sister Linda, she experienced all the joys of living in a small alpine village in the late 40â€™s and 50â€™s. During Momâ€™s first year of teaching primary school in 1959, she met a young man from Trail, also a teacher, Amerigo (Am) Corrado; they were married in 1961 and settled in their paradise ~ Kelowna. The 60â€™s saw Mom very active with both her teaching and later in the Kinette Club of Kelowna. With the births of Jay, Dean and Jill, her focus shifted to family. The 70â€™s were spent in hockey rinks and on basketball courts, baseball and softball diamonds. Both Jan and Am retired from teaching in the early 90â€™s and traveled the world. Between trips, they welcomed eight grandchildren into it. Carly, Maggy, Alley (Jay and Sandy) Jordan, Jenna (Jill and Jamie) Anthony, Melaina and Elana (Dean and Margo) kept Mom and Dad busy with various sporting activities and babysitting assignments. Dad predeceased Mom in 2005. Shortly afterwards Mom found a new home at Sandalwood and a wonderful set of friends. With trips and parties, volunteer activities and especially with countless games to watch the grandchildren play, she found plenty to keep herself busy. Mom passed away after a very brave and dignified battle with cancer. Our love and thanks go to the amazing KGH staff on 4B and the worldâ€™s best care givers and nurses at Hospice House. A private service will be held for family at Springfield Funeral Home and a Celebration of Momâ€™s life will be hosted for friends and family at her clubhouse at Sandalwood on Sunday, February 16, 2014 at 3 pm. In lieu of flowers or gifts for the families we would like to encourage people to donate, in Janâ€™s name, to Central Okanagan Hospice House, 2035 Ethel Street, Kelowna, B.C., V1Y 2Y6. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.springfieldfuneralhome.com (250) 860-7077.
