Scouts look for an edge in grading players From A1 The captain of the Kelowna Rockets tier 1 bantam team, Cullen is one of several local players who have garnered the attention of scouts this season. He hopes draft day will mark the beginning of a new phase of his young hockey career. Still, as much as playing the major junior game has been a dream of Cullen’s for some time, the 14-year-old centre is doing his best to keep the draft in perspective. “It would be really cool to get drafted, but it’s not the end of the world if I don’t,” said Cullen. “That just means you have to work that much harder to pursue the WHL, if that’s the route you wanted to go. “There will always be other opportunities…but at the same time it would be awesome to get drafted.” Last week, Cullen and more than 60 other draft-eligible players were on display in Kelowna at the Western Canada Bantam AAA Hockey Championship. Included on the tournament rosters were several of the top prospects for the draft, including North Shore’s Jordy Bellerive and Nolan Kneen, Zane Franklin from the Lloydminster Heat, and Manitoba’s Stellio Mattheos. With more than 70 scouts in the stands—the majority from WHL and BCHL teams—very few moves by these young athletes escaped scrutiny during the four-day tournament. For the last four seasons, Rockets’ tier 1 coach Tom Watters has seen dozens of young players come and go at
Lucas Cullen the bantam level. He’s witnessed how different kids respond to the pressure and presence of scouts in the stands, as well as how seriously they regard the WHL bantam draft. And while it may be easier said than done, Watters’ advice to his players is always straightforward—focus solely on their games and the rest will take care of itself. “Typically those kids that can pretty much ignore the scouts and not worry about the draft are the ones that show well and are likely to have the best chance,” Watters said. “Scouts concentrate on three areas when they watch kids—what they do with the puck, what they do without the puck, and what they do on when they’re on the bench. The scouts look for the total package.” Watters believes Lucas Cullen fits the profile of a complete package and would be an asset for any WHL club. “Luke has success because of how hard he works, he gives 100 per cent in practise and 100 per cent on every shift,” said Watters. “He doesn’t necessarily take the easiest route, he takes the one that’s needed to get the job done. He’s a great kid and very coachable, and

NORTH SHORE’S Jordy Bellerive, who was in Kelowna last week for the Western Canada Bantam AAA Hockey Championship, is projected by many scouts to be the top pick in the upcoming WHL bantam draft. I hope he gets the opportunity to show what he can do at the next level.” Cullen’s dad, Brian, also serves as an assistant coach with the bantam Rockets, and has watched his son’s development since Day 1. Like any father would, Brian wants Lucas to realize his dreams and will be there to support him, regardless of what path his career takes.
“I want to see him succeed, he wants to play in the WHL,” Brian Cullen said. “He works hard on and off the ice, his goal is to get drafted and you want him to achieve that. “At the same time, we know the draft isn’t the be-all, end-all. “(Former Rockets) Shea Weber and Josh Gorges were never drafted and look at their careers. Work hard, stick to
the game plan, and people will notice.” If Lucas Cullen is drafted on May 1, he assures it will be one of the most exciting days of his young life. At the same time, he also knows it would simply be the first of many steps towards what he hopes is long and successful future on the ice. “Being drafted is a very good accomplish-
ment and it would be awesome,” he said. “But it doesn’t mean anything unless you can go and show that you earned the right to be drafted and that you deserve to be there. It’s another step along the way.” ••• A lot has changed in the world of hockey scouting since Barclay Parneta first entered the profession in the late 1980s. The head scout for the WHL’s Tri-City Americans, Parneta spent last week in Kelowna, examining the some of best bantam-aged (born in 1999) talent at the Western Canada Bantam AAA Hockey Championship. Like virtually all scouts will tell you, Parneta said evaluating 14and 15-year-old players is far from an exact science. “The biggest challenge is that kids at this age tend to change very quickly,” Parneta said. “Sometimes you’ll see a growth spurt happen within a few weeks, so projecting their size can be difficult. “Also, consistency over the course of a year can really change in young players, maybe they don’t look the same as the last time you saw them. Players can change a lot between 15 and 17, so there’s no real science or art to it. You weigh it all out in your mind and do the best you can.” While a player’s development at a young age is hard to predict, WHL teams have become much more proficient over the last decade in gauging each prospect’s progress. Because the bantam draft is considered the main building block for every major junior team, teams pour exponential-
ly more resources into scouting than they once did. With significantly larger staffs per team— around 10 people in most cases—Parneta said the scouting landscape has undergone a considerable shift. “WHL organizations build their teams through the draft, so it’s really become a top priority,” he said. “The resources that are allotted to teams in the WHL have increased ten-fold in the past decade. Just the number of people, the amount of travel and volume of tournaments we attend in a year is huge. “The draft is important and you have to be prepared or you get left behind.” And for Parenta and hundreds of other scouts, there’s much more to the evaluation process in today’s era than simply what a player does on the ice. Strength of character, work ethic and general intelligence are all components that are equally high on the checklist. “There is so much more work now than just assessing what they do on the ice,” he said. “Looking into their background, what they do away from the game, their training, what their grades are in school…the type of character them and their families have. That’s all very important to our organization.” Because WHL teams are more proactive than ever before in the scouting domain, it also means that there are far fewer secrets about prospective talent. Although it still happens on occasion, the socalled ‘sleepers’ who slip See Scouts A4

Tracking bantam players
Scouts from A3 through the system and the draft unnoticed, are a rarity. Everett Silvertips’ scout Jag Bal said technology is playing an increasingly important
role in the scouting profession. Whether it’s the availability of basic online data, the use of Facebook, Twitter or texting, all teams are on an equal footing, making competition for talent as intense as ever.
“It’s big business for all these teams, and with the Internet, social media, texting, and good scouts all over the country, not much at all is going to be missed,” said Bal, who is based in Cloverdale. “There’s a sophis-

ticated program called Rinknet where every player’s progress is documented, scouts can access it and track those players from anywhere. “It’s positive for the players, too, in that there are so many avenues to show yourself. If you’re a good player, eventually you will be seen.” Still, as far as scouting has come in the last 10 to 15 years, Everett scout Harley Love said sometimes a little bit of good, old-fashioned luck can come in handy. “The only guarantee is that there are no guarantees,” said Love, who lives in West Kelowna.

“You don’t know for sure how players will change over time. You hope if you watch them enough, do your homework and try to figure what players will do for you down the road, hopefully you make good
choices. “It’s hard to project but we’re working on it.” Western Hockey League scouts, like Love, will see the fruits of their labours when the league holds its bantam draft May 1, in Calgary.

▼ FLOOD SEASON
Learning lessons from past disasters Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
When it comes to handling a massive community emergency, two of the men in charge of maintaining regional emergency preparedness say they believe this area is in good shape. But both Kelowna fire chief Jeff Carlisle and his deputy chief Jason Brolund say despite that, learning lessons from others who have dealt with largescale emergencies is always a good idea. “It’s an opportunity to challenge the people in this room to think bigger about what is now in place,” said Brolund. One Thursday, he and others in the field of emergency response in the Okanagan heard directly from the man in charge of one of Canada’s biggest recent emergency responses, the flooding that his Calgary last summer. Calgary fire chief Bruce Burrell made a presentation about the massive response to the
flooding that crippled Calgary and the astounding and speedy response by the entire Calgary community. Dealing with unprecedented high water levels in both the Bow and Elbow rivers—which pass through Calgary and several other southern Alberta towns—emergency personnel there had to evacuate more than 80,000 people from 32 communities when the flooding hit. And, according to Burrell, emergency responders had little time to react. He said in the span of just 45 minutes on June 20, 2013, flows on the Bow River rose from 700-cubic-metres-persecond to 1,750-cubicmetres-per-second. Over the course of the next 15 days, the Calgary emergency operations centre dealt with not only the effects of the flooding but seven other major incidents, including the derailment of a train carrying flammable materials
on a bridge weakened by the flood waters and damage to a gas main by rocks violently moved by the rapidly moving waters. “On a regular day, that alone would have prompted us to open up the EOC,” he said. Unlike when Kelowna dealt with its wildfire emergency in 2003, the web-based social media service Twitter played a major role in getting information out to the public in Calgary. Burrell said his EOC had 24 people dealing with social media round the clock for 15 days straight. He said it was important not only to get information out but also to know what the public was saying. Brolund said that is one of the biggest lessons this area can learn from what happened in Calgary—how to use social media to keep the public informed in times of emergency and to help responders know what it happening.
In the Calgary situation, about 10 per cent of the that city’s population was affected by the flooding but the entire community came together to not only help deal with it. Burrell showed a photo of a sign he said summed up the community response in Calgary last summer. It was painted on a piece of plywood wood and nailed to a tree in yard of an elderly couple who
lost everything. It simply said, “We lost some stuff. We gained a community. Thank you.” Burrell said an estimated $228 million was spend over the main 15day period dealing with fighting the flooding, 90 per cent of which has been recovered from the province of Alberta.

Concern from A6
That meant the city was asked if they had issues with the proposal, and apparently they didn’t. The applicant, Manteo Resort owner Adrian Block, also twice advertised his intent to build out in a local newspaper and received little complaint. Block may have jumped through all the right hoops, but Brillinger said that raises questions about why the standard was so low for such a wide-reaching, mega-project. “Why did the province authorize that thing? The balance between business and corporate institutional is skewed and that dock exemplifies that,” he said. He also has concerns about why the developer didn’t follow the lead of his contemporaries, and engage in his own public consultation. A different local developer, Brillinger said, did two years of stakeholder consultation for a much smaller scale development. The City of Kelowna, when it was talking about redoing parts of Rotary Beach, brought in all the key stakeholders for a number of meetings. This project is coming as a surprise to all who have seen it, he said. Block wasn’t able to answer questions of why the project slipped by so silently, as he’s out of town, but resort general manager Heather Schroeter said nothing surreptitious was done. It was simply a matter
Dial-ALawyer Day Saturday, April 12, 2014 10am to 2pm closed between 11:45am and 12:15pm
of following the process as it’s been laid out. “There’s been call for input over the years. There has been opportunity for public input,” she said. “Block has those details.” Schroeter also added that the scope of the development won’t initially be as significant as they’ve been approved for. “We’re just doing the first row, so around 40 slips,” she said. There are 20 for resort guests, 20 for Smack Dab guests and 10 are boat rentals. “Then in the fall we might put in another 20, so that will be 60,” she said. There’s no firm timeline for when the next 112 slips will go in, but the initial phase should be completed by June. Once in, Schroeter doesn’t think it will have a significant impact on lake users. “There are paddlers and kite surfers and everything out there,” she said. “In our opinion, it doesn’t change the area that much. It’s a big lake in front of Rotary Beach.”
Consumer award winner 3 years in a row
The problem, as she sees it, is that people have a hard time adapting to change. “We are just trying to make the waterfront nicer for everyone,” she said. “We wouldn’t be doing it if we thought it was
the wrong thing for the people.” A boardwalk project that goes hand in hand with the other development is scheduled to get underway in May. That will be done for summer as well.

cers and firefighters were evacuating buildings, police cars and firetrucks parked outside were being damaged by the water. The police department lost 42 police cruisers to the flood waters, and while the firetrucks, being bigger, could be pulled
out, they had to be quickly taken into the shop and fixed because their engines and transmissions had filled with water. Extensive plans had to be put into action to deal with evacuating and housing people during the flooding, returning them to the homes after, dealing with debris after the waters receded, restoring utilities like electricity, gas and other utilities and maintaining health and
safety. Carlisle said here in the Central Okanagan, major preparedness exercises are done yearly to keep abreast of not only ongoing changes that will affect future responses, but also to hone the latest tactics for dealing with large-scale emergencies. “We have experience and we are well-prepared but that does not mean we can’t stop trying to learn more,” he said.

To the editor: April 9 was the Day of Pink. It is the International Day against Bullying, Discrimination, Homophobia and Transphobia and it is a very laudable cause. However, that day in Parliament our MP Ron Cannan [PC Kelowna-Lake Country] engaged in something very disturbing and shameful. He intimated a colleague in the House of Commons with the threat of bodily harm, to the point where he had to be physically restrained. It’s been reported by MP Dan Harris [NDP Scarborough Southwest] that Ron Cannan “was getting belligerent and yelling at me from across the way” before appearing on the NDP side of ▼ the house. “He was coming down the row, yelling at me and he had to be physically restrained from coming at me…He was challenging me to come outside.”

▼ DOCK A DONE DEAL
Where are our malcontents? We miss you Public meetings can be a real drag. If you’ve never been subjected to one, just know that this city’s finest can be a bit prickly when they’re asked to chip in their two cents about things like development. In fact, if I’ve learned nothing else in my years as a reporter, it’s that when people stand up for what they love and believe in, they’re not adorable like Sally Field was in Norma Ray, they can be absolutely ornery. Mean. Scary.
Ugh. Casting my memory to plans to redevelop the downtown in a complicated mass of high rises gives me chills. Remembering the Kathy hubbub that arose from Michaels Cedar Avenue, part one—well, let’s just say I could use the help of an analyst to guide me through that emotional shrapnel. That said, the drama, the melodrama, the sharply worded hate-mail I got when I weighed in with thoughts composed in delightfully worded columns—I wouldn’t change any of it.
KATHARTIC
The people have every right to weigh in on their community. In fact, they’re needed. Take this hubbub at Manteo Resort as an example. Although it will happen in phases, the provincial government approved a project that will put 2.2 hectares of dock space—or 172 slips— on the water next to one of the most popular beaches in the region. It’s part of a larger upgrade of the resort so, who knows, maybe it will be fabulous some day in the future? What I do know is that the residents of this city had every right to have been consulted before something like this was ramrodded into their lives. Two ads in a newspaper that ran
goodness-only-knows-when are the only notification they got. Realistically, the developer was understandably understated as they ploughed ahead. But the province. Why did they show such disregard for involving the general public? It’s a question I’d like all my favourite prickly, mean, scary, passionate community loving people to start asking. Because losing this city’s most valuable assets to a government that’s too far away to care, that would be the biggest drag. kmichaels @kelownacapnews.com

▼ NOISE, FENCES,TRAFFIC
Car wash not welcomed by neighbour To the editor: As a very concerned resident of Sandalwood, I would like to express the following concerns. 1. Exhaust from vehicles lining up near our north fence (my back yard), and a “no idling sign” will be very difficult to police. As I have COPD, and others living in the immediate area also experience health issues, this is a major concern. Several residents are already suffering mental
distress over the potential loss of enjoyment of their backyards and patios. 2. Noise being issued from the vacuums, car wash machinery, idling motors, ‘boom boxes,’ and normal conversations, will also pollute the air. 3. Property devaluation. There is no doubt that it will be difficult to sell our homes at fair market value, and compensation will be expected. 4. The view from our back yards will be of an
11-foot high wall (suggested by developer) 25 to 30 feet long behind the vacuums, and the southern facing solar panels (38.3 feet high at the top) will become our focal point while outdoors. 5. The property at 469 has only one entrance, and would require two access points onto Glenmore Road, should the proposal proceed to conclusion. In the report to city council, the city planner stated: “that the city would
be prepared to give up its maintenance driveway access in exchange for maintenance access to the detention pond through the subject property.” 6. Sandalwood residents are puzzled by the fact that we are only allowed one access to our community (141 homes), and one emergency access onto Glenmore. 7. There is an elementary school situated across Glenmore, with a pedestrian crosswalk to the east
side of Glenmore, setting the scene for some major accidents. 8. Glenmore traffic is quite heavy at times, and will only increase in this area, as more development takes place. 9. Backed up lineups could occur on Glenmore as customers line up to enter the car wash lot, as there is little room for excess vehicles. Edna Hatch, Kelowna

▼ VALLEY SMOKE
There is no need for burning agricultural waste in this day and age of environmentalism To the editor: Re: Air quality in the Okanagan Valley—it could be a lot better. Each spring, the orchardists prune and trim their plants and then pile them up somewhere on their property and light this on fire. The smoke produced is a “low temperature burn” thus a lot of grey/ black smoke is produced due to the incomplete combustion of the wood. These fuels are also covered and saturated with the chemicals that are
sprayed on the plants for bug and other reasons and with the fire consuming these chemicals, we have a whole new family of chemicals produced and spewed out into our valley air. Our valley is a contained area when there is no wind to blow this smoke away so we will all live inside this smoke haze as long as the burns continue. If you inhale this smoke, the chemicals will enter your blood stream via the lungs. With modern equip-
SPRING has SPRUNG
ment and developments there are options to the burning: • Wood can be chipped and used to cover the ground for weed control and return of nutrients to the soil; • Wood can be chipped and sent to the sawmill for complete combustion thus no smoke haze; or • The wood can be chipped and sent to our landfill to be used there as a component of Ogogro. With chipping, the volume of the wood is greatly reduced thus mak-
ing shipping or handling much more economical. It is an old habit “to pile and burn” but we can change. Our present regulations allow anyone with two acres or more to apply for a permit to burn, or let us say ‘a permit to pollute by poor combustion’ his neighbours’ air supply. We already have strong regulations regarding tobacco smoke in public areas so why are we so lax with regards to prunings and other burnings, especially in our valley. As long as this burn-

ing continues, we will all inhale this pollution, even the person lighting the fires and his family. You cannot escape the inhaling of the smoke unless you leave the valley. This is not an anti-farming letter, it is to help us all see the light through the smoke and change can be for the better of us all. Thank you, Jorgen Hansen, Kelowna
▼ HOUSE OF COMMONS
Call for Cannan to apologize to all victims of bullies Cannan Bully A10 This is what’s wrong with our politics under a Conservative government. We have people like Vic Toews standing up and telling us we are
“either with the Government or with the pedophiles” or Pierre Poilievre launching an exceedingly personal attack on Chief Electoral Officer Marc Mayrand. And now, Ron Can-
nan had to be physically restrained in the House of Commons. The time for hyper-partisanship is over. The tide has turned. Canadians deserve better; we deserve better.
▼ OLDER WORKERS
Job search program at KCR To the editor: I’d like to put in a word for a program that has been running at the Kelowna Community Resource Centre on Dolphin Road in Kelowna. Recently, I had the privilege of taking a fiveweek course there for Urban Older Workers. It was designed on the lines of a flight school and it is a very intensive and
comprehensive course in which one soon finds out that even though you may be older than 55, there are still lots of paid things you can do out there in the Okanagan Valley. Good stuff! The facilitators have a comprehensive amount of combined expertise and are a very synergistic group. Not only do they teach you how to go
through the process of looking for paid employment, they give you support along the way and a plethora of practise in various skills, including interviewing. If you are interested in this course, call 250-7638008 ext.122. Sandra Anne Kessler, Kelowna
I am sure Mr. Cannan regrets his lack of decorum and restraint, but I call on Mr. Cannan to make a public apology to the victims of bullying, and to the constituents of Kelowna-Lake Country for mak-
ing such a shameful display. Lance Greenberg, president, Liberal Party of Canada in Kelowna-Lake Country

Local MP denies trying to bully his NDP counterpart
Alistair Waters
ASSISTANT EDITOR
Kelowna MP Ron Cannan is denying an accusation by an Ontario NDP MP who claims Cannan tried to intimidate and bully him in
the House of Commons chamber earlier this week. Cannan admits he left his seat in the chamber and entered the NDP side of the aisle from the back, but said he was simply there to talk with NDP House leader Peter Julian,
a fellow B.C. MP who sits near Scarbourough Southwest MP Dan Harris. On Wednesday, Harris accused Cannan of “getting belligerent and yelling at me from across the way” and then “coming down the row, yell-

ing at me and he had to be physically restrained from coming at me.” On Thursday, Cannan said he was simply there to demand Julian have Harris apologize for accusing International Trade Minister Ed Fast of making a gun-like gesture with his forefinger and thumb at another NDP MP moments earlier during question period. “I told him that the Member of Parliament for Scarborough Southwest should apologize to (Fast) or be prepared to make the allegation outside,” Cannan said. “Members of Parliament, as the member
Ron Cannan for Scarborough Southwest knows, are protected by parliamentary privilege inside the House of Commons, meaning that we have parliamentary immunity. If anything else is being inferred, it is completely incorrect.”
Now Shipping
In the House of Commons later in the day, Cannan apologized. Video of Fast shows him making the gesture with his hand, something Fast denies was an attempt to mimic a gun. “The gesture I made was a pointing gesture, one I often use,” he said in the Commons. When told the gesture was captured on video, Cannan said he had not comment on what the video showed. But he maintains he was not belligerent with Harris and reiterated it is the Ontario MP who should apologize. Reporters who saw the
incident from the press gallery said it appeared there were heated words between Cannan and Harris before he the Kelowna-Lake Country MLA was lead away by Julian and another NDP MP. The altercation followed a question from NDP MP Niki Ashton during Question Period. on Wednesday. Some NDP MPs say Fast accompanied his hand gesture by saying “boom.” The House of Commons video does not how if Fast did, in fact say, or mouth the word “boom” when he made the hand gesture and Fast denies doing so.

BOAT SHOW
Work is well underway as the Kelowna Yacht Club once again prepares to host their annual Boat and Leisure Show. This very popular— and free—public event has been marking the beginning of spring for thousands of people from all over the Okanagan for two decades. The weekend show runs April 26 and 27 at the yacht club, opening at 10 a.m. “This year’s Boat Show is our 21st annual and we’re delighted to be hosting it again,” says Lisa McHaffie, chair of the Kelowna Yacht Club’s organizing committee. “It has become a key event for us and is a lot of fun to produce, while the money we raise helps us to keep Okanagan Lake a safer place for everyone who enjoys boating on it.” She explains that while the show is a free event for the public, the exhibitors’ fees help to maintain 37 mooring buoys that are anchored in strategic locations between the bridge and Caesar’s Landing. These provide safe and secure anchorage to all boaters out for the day, weekend or sheltering from a storm. “This year’s Boat Show has been a bit more challenging to plan” she admits. “While we are really excited about our new clubhouse, all of the construction has limited the space we have available for exhibitor displays and we’ve had to make some adjustments.” She explains that the focus will be the on-thewater display of more than 150 boats, as well as 14 on-land exhibits. More than 40 exhibitors are displaying their products and she says most will have spe-
Entertainment IN THE LOOP cial Boat Show pricing to make this the best place and time to purchase a new or used boat. “We’re very excited that a key feature this year is an F1 race boat, which is the highest class of inshore powerboat racers, and something that most people have never had the opportunity to see before.” They are again offering a free draw, with prizes from the Cactus Club Café, Play Golf Kelowna, Tree Brewing, and the Okanagan Golf & Country club. Rich in history and embracing the future, Kelowna Yacht Club is a
boating community dedicated to providing our members educational, social and recreational opportunities. As one of Kelowna’s oldest non-profit organizations, the club supports a surprising number of services and activities that benefit hundreds of Okanagan residents, members and the public.

CONCERT
Founded in 2010 by accomplished musical director Kim Kleineberg, the Spectrum Singers have evolved into a formidable choir in Kelowna
with loyal audiences and mostly full-house performances. This 30-member mixed choir continues to delight and captivate with its eclectic mix of classical, jazz, folk and popular music. And their next performances on May 2 and 3 at St Michael’s Church in Kelowna is no exception. Tales from Abroad is a musical tour filled with folk songs from countries such as Sweden, Norway, Spain, Wales, Chile, the Philippines, Canada, USA, Nigeria and Israel. And yes, choir members are actually singing in languages such as Swedish, Tagalog, Spanish and Hebrew. Says choir member Stacey Takenaka: “We memorize all the music and lyrics so that we can pay close attention to Kim’s every move.” Stacey is one of several ex-Mt. Boucherie Secondary School choir members from Kleineberg’s choirs who
joined the Spectrum Singers. Instrumentalists include versatile Stephen Buck on flute, clarinet and saxophone, Lonnie Burma on percussion, Darko Cuk on bass and Elizabeth Wocks on piano. The concert times are 7:30 p.m. for both performances with St. Michaels Church located at 608 Sutherland Ave. Tickets will soon be available from any choir member or from Mosaic Bookstore.
JAZZ FESTIAL
The 37th BC Interior Jazz Festival hosted by Kelowna this weekend will feature 70 jazz groups and 1,500 young musicians. The BC Interior Jazz Festival hosts jazz bands, jazz and combination choirs, and jazz combos over the three-day event, and remains one of very few competitive (ranked) festivals in Western Canada and an affiliate of MusicFestCanada.
THE SPECTRUM Singers will give choral concerts May 2 and 3 at St. Michael’s Church in Kelowna.

In addition to its focus as a competitive performance venue, the festival features the Jazz Masters’ Concert, with special guest Trumpeter Chase Sanborn from the University of Toronto Jazz Faculty along with the talents of many of the festival’s adjudicators and the finest professional players from around the Okanagan. The Friday evening event is often sold out, and is always one of the city’s premier jazz concerts. For all the festival venues and schedules, see www.bcinteriorjazzfestival.com.
MUSEUM EXHIBIT
What do a former police officer, an ultra-marathoner, an overseas volunteer and an official ice swimmer have in common? They are all featured in the upcoming The Ripple Effect exhibit at the Okanagan Heritage Museum. “The Ripple Effect is a feel good show about ordinary people being extraordinary,” said guest museum curator Hanna Karin. “We want to inspire people of all ages to get involved, to be their best, and create their own ripple effect.” Through photographs, stories, videos and unique 3D installments, visitors will learn about the featured “ripplers” and their passions, as well as advice on following in their footsteps. Avoiding hypothermia, how to become an international volunteer/ successful fundraiser and what it is like to be a male diagnosed with breast cancer are some of the topics presented in the exhibit. “We have Crystal cycling up a pile of books, George is floating in a hot air balloon and Paul is in
a fridge,” said curatorial manager Patti Kilback. “As for Peter, we are really excited about incorporating him into elements from the popular Out of the Shadow, Into the Light breast cancer exhibit.” Two of the stars of the show are from Kelowna, one is from Winnipeg and one from Ottawa. According to Kilback, the exhibit is designed to travel across the country, and so staff purposely chose people within and outside of the Okanagan. Peter Platt is a former police officer from Ottawa. After being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and breast cancer, Platt found part of his healing process was by helping others. He became an important advocate for both causes. Paul Duffield’s perseverance and success in the risky world of ice swimming pushes the limits of human endurance. The West Kelowna athlete is Canada’s first recognized International Ice Swimmer. Kelowna’s Crystal Flaman is a record-setting athlete and fundraiser. She has personally raised more than $1.4 million for charity organizations such as Room to Read through running, cycling and swimming competitions. George Harris, from Winnipeg, is a lifer in the world of volunteering. For 46 years, Harris has done professional volunteer placements in Africa (23 years) and in Winnipeg. At 70, he is still going strong with his community commitments. This is Hanna’s second exhibit with Kelowna Museums. Her first

Although Fazioli pianos are the “new kid on the block” in the world of piano making, they are now considered to be the “crème-de-la-crème” of pianos, said Showcase Pianos store owner Manuel Bernaschek.

A recent survey by CBC Music showed Lortie to be one of the top three most loved Canadian concert pianists in the world. The other two that make up that list include Angela Hewitt and MarcAndré Hamelin, who have joined Lortie in making the change to playing Fazioli pianos. Lortie performed with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra in mid-March, and it was a rare opportunity for concert-goers to hear a Fazioli concert grand piano. Fazioli Pianoforti, just 60 kilometres north of Venice, makes only 100 pianos a year. For any person that likes to collect special and unique items, this particular Fazioli grand piano is for sale and could be signed by Lortie and delivered the very next day

NEWS ▼ MENTAL HEALTH
Chronic stress leads to depression and anxiety disorders
W
e have known for some time that chronic stress is not good for our physical or mental health. Along with various negative effects on physic-
al health, people who live with chronic stress are at an increased likelihood of developing mental illnesses such as depression or anxiety disorders. Although we have
seen the effect of stress on health outcomes, until recently we have had little understanding about how exactly the stress impacts our brains to make them more susceptible to ill-
ness. New research out of the University of California Berkeley has finally shed some light on this topic. These new findings have shown chronic stress
generates long-term changes to the brain. Doctors already knew of brain abnormalities present among individuals with conditions such as post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD). These involved differences in the amount of grey and white matter in the brain. Without going into too much detail here, grey matter is mostly neurons

Researchers in these studies examined only the hippocampus of the brain (an area known to be important in the regulation of emotions and involved in several psychiatric conditions).

Findings in rodent studies indicated that chronic stress generates more myelin-producing cells and fewer neurons than normal. This leads to more white matter and changes the way the brain’s cells communicate with one another. These researchers also found chronic stress to cause changes in stem cells in the hippocampus—stress changing the cells to mature into white matter cells rather than neurons as they would in normal circumstances. If brain matter is changed and causes different areas of the brain to connect with one another too much and others not enough, it is not too difficult to imagine how this could lead to various symptoms. This research is still in early days. Preliminary results are interesting though and now studies are underway to test this hypothesis in people with PTSD and other conditions. The hope is to get more information and try to gain a better understanding of exactly how all of these elements interact with one another. Along with greater understanding, we may be able to develop new ways to protect people from the harmful effects of chronic stress or to prevent these changes in the brain from occurring and thus prevent later mental illness. For now, we can try to reduce stress as much as possible and speak to a doctor if symptoms such as anxiety or depression are interfering with life.

TAX RETURN SOFTWARE There is a range of accounting software available, but know that they are not miracle-workers and that they won’t ask you about your personal situation. For example, you are eligible for certain deductions if you have children, if they are registered for sporting activities, if you have a physical handicap, if you have moved for work reasons, and the list goes on. This type of software is good, however, for taxpayers whose tax situations are relatively simple, such as single adults who have no assets or social assistance recipients and seniors without pension funds.

Rockets in WHL final 4 Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Five years after last reaching the Western Hockey League’s version of the Final Four, the Kelowna Rockets are back. The Canadian Hockey League’s No. 1 team has secured a spot in the Western Conference final series for the first time since 2009, after disposing of the Seattle Thunderbirds this week in the second round the WHL playoffs. After bowing out in the second round of last year’s postseason, Rockets’ head coach Ryan Huska said a more experienced and committed group has pushed its game to another level in 2014. “It’s nice to be into the conference final,” Huska said. “I think we learned a lot as a group last year, and we’ve seen our team play a more urgent style of hockey this playoff season. The guys are understanding how much hard-
er it gets as you move along, and they’ve done a good job of making sure they’re playing the right way.” On the heels of a dominant, record-setting 57win regular season, the Rockets have carried that momentum into the postseason, winning eight of the first nine games. Kelowna was especially efficient in the Seattle series, outscoring the Thunderbirds 22-11 en route to a convincing fourgame sweep. “We’re trying to play smart hockey and stay disciplined, and for the most part the guys have done a pretty good job of that,” said Huska. “We always worked hard during the regular season but didn’t always play smart. In the playoffs we’re putting those two together.” Even in the absence of the injured Myles Bell, the Rockets have had little trouble finding offense in the playoffs. Fourteen dif-

ferent players have scored goals, while 20 have at least one point in the postseason. That balance was evident again Wednesday night as five different players scored in Kelowna’s series-clinching 5-2 win over the ‘Birds. “It’s the same thing we saw all season and that’s the strength of our team,” Huska said. “We don’t have to rely on a few players, and we get lots of help
from our back end. Four lines all contributed, and that kind of attitude that everyone is part of this really helps.” Special teams have also been key in Kelowna’s success. The Rockets have both the No. 1 power play (35 per cent) and top penalty killing record (90 per cent) among all playoff teams. “The (Seattle) series in particular, special teams were big for us,” he said.
“We had situations early on where our power play did a good job of scoring and giving us momentum. We also ran into some penalty trouble in that series, and our guys did a great job in killing just about all of them off.” The Rockets will open the Western Conference final with the first two games at home, Friday, April 18 and Saturday, April 19 at Prospera Place.
As of Thursday, the Rockets weren’t certain of their third-round opponent, as Portland and Victoria were meeting Thursday night in Game 5 of their second-round playoff series. The Winterhawks led the series 3-1 over the Royals, however a final score wasn’t available at press time. Either way, Huska said the Rockets are in for a battle in the conference
final. “Portland has a high octane offence and are a very skilled team,” said Huska. “Victoria checks hard and takes pride in their defensive game. Whoever we get will be a challenge and we’re going to be using our time off to rest and get ready.” Tickets for Games 1 and 2 on the Western Conference final go on sale Friday morning. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
▼ BCHL
Extended break over as Vipers host Express in final After an 11-day break from the action, it’s no surprise the Vernon Vipers are chomping at the bit to get the BCHL championship series under way. The Vipers and Coquitlam Express open up the Fred Page Cup bestof-seven series Friday night at Kal Tire Place. Vernon hasn’t played since beating the Express 6-1 on March 31 in the semi-final round robin tournament, while Coquitlam has had a week off.
WKB1144
Not surprisingly, Vipers’ forward Brett Mulcahy has had enough of
practise. “Oh, man, I want to get the final started so bad,” Mulcahy told the Vernon Morningstar this week. “Three weeks and playing only two games, that’s a little much. There’s obviously some rest that you want. When you get in the groove and you’re playing every other day, you start to feel good. “With all this rest, we do a lot of practising but it will be nice to get the games going,” he added. “I think Friday will be a pretty energetic game.
It’s the final, both teams are excited about that.” It’s the second time during this post-season the Express have had an extended break. They were off for nine days, after eliminating the Langley Rivermen in six games in the Mainland Division final, before facing the Vipers March 30. “The first layoff hurt us, I thought we were rusty against Vernon having had nine days off,” said Coquitlam head coach Barry Woolf. “Here,
we only have really six, so it’s better for us. We’re approaching Friday as just another game and we’ll keep going forward.” Counting the round-robin, Vernon has won two of three meetings with the Express. The teams split in the regular season with both games played before the trade deadline. Game 2 goes Saturday in Vernon, with Games 3 and 4 shifting to Coquitlam on Monday and Tuesday.

KSS standout Hemmerling to UBCO Heat A’s open season at home to White Rock Continuing to add depth and skill to her roster, UBCO Heat head women’s soccer coach Claire Paterson will welcome another local soccer standout to her club starting in the fall. UBCO has announced Kelowna Secondary School’s Courtney Hemmerling as the latest recruit that has decided to stay in the Okangan and begin a post secondary athletic career. Hemmerling has been a standout in the Okanagan soccer scene for many years now, and Paterson has had an eye on the local product for quite some time. Hemmerling has consistently played up for her age, beginning when she was 10 playing for a Kelowna United U12 squad that won a provincial championship. She continued her success

STANDOUT forward from the Kelowna Owls,
Courtney Hemmerling, will stay in Kelowna next fall and continue her education at UBCO while playing soccer for the Heat. winning a gold medal at the BC Summer Games as part of the Okanagan U12 and elected to play Super Y League instead of the Provincial Team at U12 and U13.
After a successful run that saw Courtney’s team win the Las Vegas Mayor’s Cup and the Pacific Division of the Super Y League U15 division in Tampa Bay, the young
forward was selected to participate in the Super Y League Olympic Development Program in Florida. For the past two seasons, she has been playing for Kelowna Secondary School and Kelowna United in the Pacific Coast Soccer League. In her first year with United at the age of 16, Hemmerling won the PCSL scoring title leading the Kelowna squad to the PCSL championship. “I am really happy that Courtney has decided to join our program,” said Paterson about her new 5-foot-8 forward from Kelowna. “We have had a few veteran forwards move on this year and I believe Courtney will help us fill those gaps. As a local player, I’ve had the opportunity to see her develop into an offensive
threat – she has a real talent for scoring goals.” The Heat will certainly need her goal-scoring ability as they make the move to the CIS in 2014, and Courtney is excited for the opportunity to both play CIS-level football and play for her hometown. “It was an easy decision for me to attend UBCO and further my education here,” explained Hemmerling. “This school has an excellent reputation, and I am excited to be playing under Claire’s leadership and this program as it enters the CIS.” Hemmerling will join Susan Traynor and Emma Nelsen as the Heat’s latest recruit, as Paterson continues to add quality talent to her team in preparation for UBC Okanagan’s inaugural CIS campaign.
The Okanagan Athletics lift the curtain on the new B.C. Premier Baseball League this weekend with four games on their home soil. On Saturday at Elks Stadium, the A’s will host the White Rock Tritons at 1 and 3:30 p.m. The teams will square off for another doubleheader Sunday at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. The A’s, who narrowly missed out on the playoffs in 2013, have lost 10 players from last year’s squad, including the likes of Josh Croft, Dawson Yates, Morgan Lofstrom and James Ward. Head coach Evan Bailey will look to returning seniors James Walker, Trevor Mlait, Trevor Lofstrom and Davis Todosichuk to lead his club into 2014.
With 12 Grade 11 players on the roster, Okanagan will be one of the league’s younger teams. “I think we’ll be above average offensively and probably average defensively,” said Bailey. “Where we might struggle a little is on the mound, we don’t really have an ace, so we’ll see how that works out.” Bailey expects the balance of power in the PBL to rest with two teams— Langley and North Shore. Other than that, the A’s head coach expects the playoff chase to be wide open. “I see us in the hunt for a playoff spot this year, along with a lot of other teams,” he added. “If we do the small things well and stay healthy, then I think we have a pretty good chance.”

TOYSL opening weekend highlights of note Kelowna United U13 boys dominate team from Shuswap Club. Here’s a look at some scores from the opening weekend of the Thompson Okanagan Youth Soccer League season. • U15 Girls—Kelowna United 4 Vernon 2 Kelowna United U15 Girls played their first game at the Mission Turf against Vernon United U15G. At the 23 minute mark, Kate Johnson started off the scoring for Kelowna with a low shot to the corner of the net, assisted by Caitlin Kingsmill. Angelia Ostrom followed up with Kelowna’s 2nd goal a few minutes later, assisted by
Kate Johnson and Lauryn Guy. The half ended with Kelowna up by 2. Second half - Kelowna United continued the pressure with their 3rd goal being scored by Angelia Ostrom, assisted by Lauryn Guy. Kate Johnson intercepted a pass from Vernon’s keeper for Kelowna’s fourth and unassisted goal. Half way through the second half, Vernon got on the scoreboard. With 5 minutes left in the game, Vernon racked up their 2nd goal from a shot outside the 18 yard line. • U13 boys—Kelowna 4 Shuswap 0
The KU U13 Boys opened the season with a dominating effort over a spirited and tenacious U13 Shuswap Club. Scoring was opened by KU early in the match when Christopher VanDenHeuval forced a turnover just outside the 18 yard line and volleyed into the top corner. Scoring by the KU club continued later in the first half with a classic give and go play between Cameron Sorensen and finished by Braeden Cangiano. The defensive domination continued throughout the second half along with an excellent offense

effort between Cameron Wilson who set up Gavin Sherman for KU’s third goal of the game. Scoring was concluded with a feed from Riley Neal to David Ley who put it top shelf to wrap up a 4 – 0 victory for the home club. The clean sheet for shutting out the opposition went to KU keeper Colton Smith. • U16 boys—Kelowna United 2 Revelstoke U18 1 Revelstoke opened the scoring, quickly capitalizing on a KU defensive error. KU tied it up before the half on a corner kick from Josh Clark to Cameron Ambrosio whose strike found the back of the net. Despite the fact that KU’s bench was short and they played against an older age group, they were able to dominate possession. However, the game was nearing the end before KU scored again. With 10 minutes left, Kyle Martin, who had a fantastic game, moved the ball up the field, passing to Foster Warren who tapped it skillfully into the goal. Revelstoke was unable to answer back and the KU U16 Boys won the first game of their season.

Among those attending were current city councillor Colin Basran, the only council representative to show up. A few weeks ago, I wrote a column regarding City Hall and city issues and gave the gears to Basran among others. In fair comment, I tip my hat today to Basran for taking time out of his Saturday to take part in the last-minute gathering and sharing his private time. ••• Seems the communications department at Kelowna City Hall has been given direction to craft a media rebuttal page on the city’s website, titled
‘Media Room.’ Under the For the Record category, the communications department now chooses to “set the record straight” on articles or opinions the city feels have factual errors. I was directed to the site after a response was posted to my column which ran on the Capital News website March 21. Among the comments posted included: “Hodge’s column suggests some election procedures or technical glitch affected the tally of votes during the 2011 municipal election. Your readers should know that election results were audited after the election and no irregularities were found. “All of the polling station books were audited over a three-week period after the election by representatives of an un-
successful candidate for office. There was no subsequent application to the city, or to the courts, for a recount, or a challenge to the election due to improper process…” Apparently the city manager contacted the Capital News prior to the city’s web response, taking exception to the fact I had “blamed staff” for the alleged fiasco. To clarify, I never stated that city staff directly manipulated the election results. I have nothing but total respect for Kelowna deputy clerk Stephen Fleming and his superb policy and procedure staff. In my three years on council, I found Stephen to be tremendously helpful, astute and sharp as a tack regarding municipal guidelines, regulations,

What I did suggest was some “disconcerting” things took place election day and during the election, and I still believe that. I made it clear I did not suggest those concerns directly impacted my failure to secure a seat on council, but I do believe they may have impacted others. For further clarification, I was not the election candidate that filed an official look at the results, but I find it interesting that someone did.

here is little sense having a column titled HodgePodge unless you occasionally craft it as precisely that. Thus, here are a few belated thoughts, a clarification or two, a request, and a couple of “I told you so’s.” In the “I told you so” (but actually not very happy about it) category, the Vancouver Canucks have officially been eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs. When I predicted such would be the case early in the season it was accompanied with the suggestion that goaltender Roberto Luongo would be injured for part of the season. He was injured twice in Vancouver, which indeed played a key role in the team’s elimination from the playoffs. More significant, however, was the lousy overall team play, decimating injuries, a coach with anger management issues, and a couple of gonzo moves that left the club with no veteran goaltending to help the rookies along. Ironically, Luongo wound up injured (again) while playing for Florida—on the same evening (Tuesday) the Canucks were mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. Not surprising, the first victim of disgruntlement the very next day was team president and general manager Mike Gillis, whose demise was long overdue in the minds of many. Many fans are hoping Gillis was only the start of a sweep and that the bombastic coach John Tortorella will be the next to lose his hockey head.

Conservation trust gets $400,000 donation
▼ BCWF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Man in Motion rolls out positive message
The Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation will announce a $400,000 donation to preserve fish habitat and ecosystems for wildlife in the Central Okanagan today. In the Central Okanagan, the funds will include a $25,000 donation to continue funding a stewardship coordinator for the Mission Creek Greenway, where a coordinated effort to protect the spawning channel is underway. In Wood Lake, the Middle Vernon Creek Water Conservation project will receive $65,875 for a project targeting water levels in the creek. Another $30,000 is dedicated to the Okanagan small lakes management project. The largest of the seven grants will go to the City of Penticton to develop a restoration plan for severely channelized water, to provide flood protection and spawning habitat for fish populations in the area. Most of the money the HCTF uses to fund the projects comes from conservation surcharges on fishing and hunting licences. “The foundation is a concrete symbol of the user’s investment in the resources,” said Harvey Andrusak, HCTF chairman. “Few people realize how much of the critical conservation work taking place in this province is funded by hunters, anglers, trappers and guide outfitters. “…These projects improve conditions for a tremendous range of species, not just those targeted by sportsmen.” —Jennifer Smith

Tour, a 40,000-kilometre, two-year testament to this persistent optimism, which saw him wheel around the world and raise $26 million for spinal cord research in the mid1980s. Hailed as a hero from coast-to-coast, he has used his fame and talent for motivating others to proffer a quarter-century of philanthropy and advocacy for the disabled, while keeping the outdoors close to his heart. Whether bungie jumping with CBC comedian Rick Mercer, skiing in Whistler or organizing a fishing derby at Langara Lodge in Haida Gwaii to attract a new generation to the sport, he shares an enthusiasm for the environment with conference delegates quite evident in the weekend’s agenda of habitat preservation lectures. “The values of British Columbia and Canada are one of a healthy and sustainable world where every citizen is committed to be able to make a difference and the B.C. Wildlife Federation is a tremendous organization whose members…care about wilderness, care about environment and also want to make a difference,” he said in an interview. Hansen has his own conservation cause. In the mid-1990s, he learned the prehistoric white sturgeon, North America’s largest freshwater fish, was washing up on the banks of the Fraser River and appeared headed for extinction. Harnessing the talent for team-building he learned recovering from

Hansen values a healthy, sustainable world Hansen from A28 injury and building the Man in Motion Tour, he corralled key stakeholders from the First Nations, politics and science to write and fund a plan since featured in National Geographic for its innovation. The Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society was formed in 1997 and has seen 35,000 fish tagged and tracked through a recovery plan targeting habitat restoration. It’s worked well enough there are now more big fish than ever before, despite on-going ecosystem challenges and
poaching. Fishing has always been a critical component to Hansen’s life and the sturgeon an almost mystic connection for him, but it was the returning to his boyhood salmon fishing habit that proved a turning point in his rehabilitation. Back on the water with his brother, reconnecting with the outdoors helped him realized he could still be the person he was before his accident, provided he set aside his pride and worked with others. “I thought the key to life was being independent and being able to do everything with my legs instead of realizing that
I was the same Rick,” he said. “I was the athlete, the outdoorsman, the same Rick who loved to go fishing and hunting and camping. “To be with my family and friends. I could still be that person, I just had to do it a bit differently.” Since harnessing this power to build teams and inspire others to action, he has convened with world leaders on the need to build a more inclusive world, earned a gold medal at the Olympics and raised a family with his physical therapist wife. Among its current projects, the Rick Hansen Foundation is working on
a technological solution to changing attitudes with a rating system for buildings, called planat.com. The website allows anyone with any form of disability to rate a building, anywhere in the world, for its accessibility, providing valuable information for disabled members of society and pushing developers and city planners to consider accessibility in design.
In this vein, he encouraged the BCWF delegates to recruit young members, learn from their ability to problem solve and watch how the next generation facilitates adaptation to the global changes occurring in the outdoors. The BCTF general meeting continues today and winds up on Saturday. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Keep your golf swing muscles in check T he Kelowna golf season is returning to full swing at many of our local courses. So I hope you’ve been doing an off-season strength and conditioning program and worked on swing drills during the winter. If you have, you’ll have less of a chance of suffering an early season injury. If you haven’t, you should really read this column and in particular pay attention to the part about breaking yourself in slowly. The golf swing is very demanding on our body’s muscles, ligaments and joints and after a long layoff they’re going to be prone to soreness and injury. Below I have listed six
KEEPING YOU MOVING
Jay Stone areas that you can address to decrease your chances of injury this season. 1. Always maintain an off-season strength, flexibility and cardiovascular program. Maintaining conditioning throughout the winter provides you with a strong foundation to start the spring. This is also the time of year that you can build up strength in the key golf muscles to help you hit the ball that extra 15 to 20 yards.
2. Break yourself in slowly at the beginning of the season. Your body isn’t ready to hit two large buckets of balls your first time out. Start with hitting a small bucket and build up from there. Also be aware of trying to practise your driver too much too early. It is the longest club in your bag and usually encourages the hardest swing. Not what you need to do after a winter lay off. 3. Perform a warm up and stretch before practicing or playing. Ideally, you would like to increase the temperature of your muscles before stretching. This could be a brisk walk around the parking lot or running on the spot for five minutes. Afterwards, spend five to 10
minutes stretching your spine and extremity muscles. 4. Take lessons from a qualified pro this year to improve technique. It has been shown that professional golfers actually put less stress on their body during a single swing than amateurs because they possess better technique. 5. Use good equipment. Depending on your age and strength certain types of clubs may be easier on your body. For instance, graphite shafts produce less vibration, which helps dampen the forces that cause some of the overuse injuries of the upper extremities. Equipment also refers to good shoes, gloves and protection from the sun.
6. Don’t neglect aches and pains in the early stage. All too often we think that injuries will go away by themselves. Sometimes aches and pains are normal and do go away but if icing the sore area and a few days of rest doesn’t get rid of your pain, you should consider seeing a health care professional. I hope you have a great golf season and by implementing some of my tips stay injury free.

TRAVEL
Homage to Catalonia, where Costa Brava is a rite of passage Anne Z. Cooke CONTRIBUTOR
LLAFRANC, Spain—I happened to be looking up when they flew overhead, a flock of white storks heading south along the Costa Brava, in Catalonia, on Spain’s Mediterranean coast. With the rising sun as their compass, they flew in shifting, untidy groups, black-tipped wings pumping air and red beaks pushing forward. I was watching them when a passing jogger—tanned, a bit winded and a Brit, by his accent—saw me scanning the sky and stopped to look. “They should be heading west toward Gibraltar,” he volunteered, as the birds veered away to the west. “It’s their traditional route. But some are wintering over right here, in Spain. I’m convinced they like it as much as we do.” I was up early that September morning, shaking off jet lag with a walk on the Camino de Ronda, the pedestrian trail that hugs the shoreline for 136 miles, from the French border south through Girona province. The path, sometimes paved, sometimes dirt, connects each fishing village, emerald cove and sandy beach to the next, spangling the coast like a string of rough-cut diamonds. Intent on the birds, it crossed my mind that for a traveler just arrived and eight time zones from home, I was feeling pretty good. No muggy head-
VIEW of the Mediterranean from Begur, castle ruins at top right, Costa Brava, Catalonia, Spain. ache, no unquenchable yawns. Maybe my compass was saying the same thing: The Costa Brava is where smart people come to spend the winter. The trouble was that I had only a week to explore; from the look of things, my eight days on the ground would be stretched paper thin. We—my friends and I—didn’t want to miss anything: lazy afternoons bobbing in emerald clear coves; searching for Roman ruins; vine-
yard visits; and tours at the three most important Costa Brava locations associated with the Surrealistic painter Salvador Dali, and known as the “Dali Triangle.” So we decided to hire a guide, an idea I scorned when I was 18 and a “know-it-all” backpacker, but which my parents, seasoned travelers, never failed to recommend. “A good guide can take a pencil sketch and turn it into a portrait,” they told me. You’ll probably want
to grab your bathing suit and head straight to a cove like the one at Playa del Canadell, near Llafranc (guaranteed to put any French beach to shame). Or perhaps to Cadaques, where we blew an afternoon at the “MF” outdoor cafe, sipping wine and eating tapas under an umbrella. But dig into history first, in the city of Girona, capital of Girona province, on the River Onyar. Here we met our guide, Carles (Carlos, in Spanish) Pongiluppi, a
fact-freak who not only guides locally, but accompanies Spanish groups traveling overseas. Articulate, casual and handsome, he also added a sense of humor to history’s whys and wherefores. And a good thing, too, since he was a look-alike for Dexter, the killer in the eponymous TV drama, for which he endured some friendly ribbing. With a brief stop at the tourist office, we crossed the Sant Felui Bridge
STEVE HAGGERTY/COLORWORLD/MCT
and made for the town’s old city center, now restored, awash in gardens and crisscrossed by spacious squares and narrow cobblestone passages. Plunging into the heart of the medieval quarter, we poked through every block, looking at fragments of the Roman road—the Via Augusta—tiny medieval houses, 12th century churches, portions of the old city walls, the half-hidden Jewish quarter, and among these, newer build-
ings. Armed with the street map, I nailed the directions. But I lagged behind to look at some flowers, took a wrong turn across another bridge and wound up on Independence Square, where the city’s better stores and old and new architecture styles mix and match. An unexpected revelation was a tour of St. Peter’s Cathedral, no longer used as a church. Stripped of its original trappings and completely bare, its 12th century “beautiful bones” showed why art historians use it as a classic example of Romanesque architecture. As part of Spain, Girona and the Costa Brava, enjoy the warmth of the Spanish sun. But Catalonia’s special culture and history infuse the region with a unique sensibility. Whether you’re tasting wine, riding a bus, talking to a flower seller or joining a museum tour, Catalonian pride is palpable. Chef Joan Roca, whose three-starred Michelin restaurant, El Celler de Can Roca, was ranked last year as the World’s No. 1 Restaurant (by Restaurant magazine), and who brought me into his kitchen for a quick look, said that the foundation of his cooking styles are based on his mother’s cooking at home. At the other end of the culinary spectrum was the Bonay family restaurant, on the Placa de los Voltes

The Costa Brava Costa Brava A33 in the historic village of Peretallada. Tell Enrique you want to try his local food and he’ll serve what Pongiluppi says is “genuine local food, the kind of dishes that people here prepare at home.” And there’s the Catalan language, unique only to Catalonia. Spoken by many and mixed with Spanish for place names (platja for playa) and on signs, it’s the wind on which a fervent nationalist movement stays aloft, always agitating for independence. Traveling with Pongiluppi meant no detail went unnoticed, no question unanswered. We learned more about village life, museum exhibits, mushroom-growing habitats and medieval stone quarries than a Wikipedia researcher. The impossibly-steep, narrowly terraced hillsides? An-
cient vineyards. The lake? A wetlands popular with birders. The familiar flower-bedecked staircase in Begur? Used in the filming of “Suddenly Last Summer.” The dreary-looking church? A refugee of the Spanish Civil War: During the conflict, once-remarkable frescoes and carvings were destroyed or painted white by anti-Franco Republicans. And we discovered what Dali, the master showman, was all about. His childhood home, which he later rebuilt, is a hoarder’s heaven. See it in Port Lligat, near Cadaques. For a study in symbolism, head for the eye-popping Dali Theatre Museum, in Figueres, which displays his collection and where he lived at the end of his life.

by a friend of a friend—a relationship never made clear—for a coastal jaunt and quick swim in glassyclear cool water. The next day we drove north through rugged dry hills to to Cap Creus, the rock-strewn headland that Dali called “a reflection of my tortured mind.” From high on the cliff, the Mediterranean’s blue sweep fills the frame, cliffs, coves and sea laid out from Spain to France. Here, too, were backpackers toiling uphill on the Camino de Ronda, heading for the cafe and parking lot. As an ancient coastal trail, the Camino de Ronda is now a now a National Trail, free and open to the public even where it crosses private property. Back at Playa del Canadell, Pongiluppi showed us where the trail and the sidewalk are one and the same, crossing from cafes and souvenir shops to homeowners’ front decks. “It’s quite funny,” said Pongiluppi, who spent many a youthful summer’s day on this particular beach. “Sometimes you get there and the family is sitting outside eating dinner and tourists are walking back and forth past the table. But the public always has the right of passage” “How do the homeowners respond to that?” I asked. “They don’t,” he said. “Most just say hello and go on with what they’re See Costa Brava A35

Lodging: In L’Escala, toward the north, we stayed at the Hostal Empuries, a mid-range property and restaurant on an inviting swimming beach. The one-storey property is not a hostel but is rated as such because it was originally a restaurant with available rooms. Though the footprint resembles a motel, it is a Roman villa design, with wings enclosing garden courtyards. The older twostory hotel adjacent, now restored and renovated, is also part of the property. The special attraction here? Empuries, a Greek and Roman archaeological site 100 yards away.

variable valve timing, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The two base engines available are a solid 2.4-litre four-cylinder and a 2.5 version, both of which are likely adequate for commuter use. I headed straight for Highway One and it positively purred along the long, clear stretches open to the daytime driver. Great acceleration in take-off and passing with limited lean and sway when cornering at speed. Back in urban madness, it offered a good view of fast encroaching vehicles from side streets and the rear. I mention this because I expected the sleek window profiles might hinder views, especially to the rear. Hence, it was also not as much of a beast to park at the supermarket as I had feared. Light steering also assisted in that manouevre. On the urban performance front, the transmission took the annoyance out of stop-go traffic. Have to think it was gulping gas though in smoothing out the urban trek. The Impala with the V6 starts at $32,945 (around $3,000 more than the 4-cylinder-equipped versions) but the test car options, which included rear park assist, rear vision camera, collision and lane departure alerts, premium audio, sunroof, added another $7,000. It will compete with the Dodge Charger and Ford Taurus domestically and a host of imports. Now to my reservations: the fuel economy for the V6 is 11.1/6.9L 100km (city/highway) and while that is not bad for a large car, it’s not the best in its segment. The four-cylinder eco version is impressive at 8.7/5.8L 100km (city/ highway). That said,I don’t think fuel economy will be a deal breaker for most people. My continued reservations really boil down to reliability. It’s a brand new car and we should wait a couple or three years before anointing this car as the best domestic sedan ever. That caution should not stop you from taking one for a spin. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

good doing it. So, if the pro can make it look and feel as perfect as a summer’s day, I should be able to as well, right? I slip into the captain’s chair of the STI—without Tommi in the car, thank goodness—and take to the 3.1-mile track. Prior to the hot laps, I had driven the outgoing 2014 Subaru STI on the same course. I’d be back-to-back testing these all-wheel drive machines to see how the engineering prowess has, yet again, continued to make a vehicle with a cultlike following even better. Rewind a few hours to the start-of-the-day’s press conference. Masuo Takatsu, WRX STI Project General Manager, mentioned the modus operandi of the fourth generation STI was to create a vehicle that behaves as the drivers expects it to. Mission accomplished. Though I didn’t even come close to Tommi’s performance, that wasn’t my goal. The goal was to experience first-hand how docile yet potent Subaru’s famed sedan took to the high speeds and corners of the club track. I had no desire to hand the keys over to my colleagues as they eagerly anticipated their time in the Rally Blue beauty. It would be sacrilege if I didn’t insert some technical jargon into the reasoning why the STI scored big points on the road test. Without getting too deep into the engineering, here are the top three take-home points of this incredible vehicle. One: the increased use of high-strength steel makes for a stiffer and stronger body, and decreases its tendency to twist and bend in corners. The result? A more predictable handling
sedan that isn’t easily irked and stays firmly planted to the ground. Furthermore, the 2015 STI achieves 16 percent less body roll than before. Two: You have the practicality of added dimensions. There is 25mm added to wheelbase, there is 900mm more legroom in back and you get 20L more cargo space (from 320L to 340L.) Three: The Base WRX and STI don’t have a rear spoiler. The Sport and Sport-tech WRX has a trunk lip spoiler and the corresponding STI trims have the “table for six” or very large spoiler! Perhaps it’s also sacrilege to not put the emphasis of this review on the design and engineering of this new generation of STI. After all, it has been reimagined on both the inside and out. But anyone who knows the vehicle is aware that it is in a class of its own, with few competitors that can come close to the emotional appeal that this sedan brings to the market. And anyone not familiar with it should be aware that, despite its 2.5L turbocharged engine, which produces the aforementioned 305 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque, it is as gracious and powerful as a samurai soldier and his sword. Now, for those who are looking for similar excitement but not as many ponies, fear not, Subaru has their WRX to captivate you. Also completely redesigned on the inside and out, you have the magic of the Japanese brand’s 2.0L, turbocharged engine that produces 268 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque and also the choice of a manual or a Sport Lineartronic transmission (a CVT with 8 virtual gears; similar to that found on the new Forester but tailored specifically to the WRX.) It too has the dynamism and pedigree to impress on the road and track. Performance, good times, outstanding engineering and hot colours equate to the new 2015 Subaru WRX and WRX STI.

Ford brings a Euro car to the Americas
2014 Ford Fiesta ST. Ford has done an excellent job of using its worldwide expertise to bring some very practical, yet fun to drive, small cars to North America. Using Europeans to build the Ford Focus and Fiesta for a worldwide market enabled the manufacturer to bring these superb handling cars virtually unchanged to our shores. On top of that, Ford is also selling their sportiest ST versions of both these cars. The Focus ST was introduced last year and this year we get the Fiesta ST “hot hatch”. I’ve been a huge fan of the Fiesta. In fact, I prefer it to the bigger Focus, it is a perfect city runabout with go-cart like handling and a stylish little package. Looks For 2014, all Fiesta models get a minor facelift with a new front grille and headlights. The ST is easy to spot because of the black honeycomb grille with an ST badge, bigger alloy wheels, a rear spoiler hanging over the rear window, a bigger rear air diffuser with twin exhaust tips and blacked out trim around the

This Fiesta ST is a gem in the subcompact class, delivering great economy, fabulous interior and plenty of smiles.
These are not meant for big people, you just won’t fit. They are snug and supportive but lack some simple, yet important adjustments. The front of the seat sits much higher than the back so your backside is very low with your knees pointing up. This produces a sporty
feel initially but on longer trips, the lack of adjustment prevents the driver from being able to stretch their legs. The dash has been updated to include a MyFord Touch screen for radio, phone, navigation and climate functions. The screen is

windows. The ST looks like it means business. There are two exterior options that might be worth the money. Upgraded paint colours like ‘Molten Orange’ or ‘Green Envy Metallic’ cost $400 and the smoked grey wheels with red brake calipers cost $500 more. The base ST at $24,999 comes very well equipped and is ready to cause some trouble. Inside The first thing that pops right out on the ST interior are the two heavily bolstered Recaro sports seats.

rather small and far away from the driver, which makes accessing the small, virtual buttons on the screen a challenge. However, it does look much better than the older Fiesta dash. The ST comes standard with very powerful front seat heaters, automatic climate control, a fat leather steering wheel with redundant radio controls and a leather covered manual shifter. The back seat has always been tight in the Fiesta; this is perfect for a single person or couple, not the best for a family. Drive In an era of cars that almost drive themselves, the Fiesta ST is a throwback to a timewhen the driver felt connected to the machine. The suspension is much firmer than the regular Fiesta, almost harsh over bumpy roads but the feedback to the driver through the tight steering ratio, firm chassis and the grippy Recaro seats is superb. The turbocharged, direct injection 1,6L Ecoboost engine pumps out 197hp. Only sold with a super-slick manual transmission that shifts with no effort at all and the

clutch is precise. In such a small car, this engine lets the driver do pretty much anything at will. Want to pass on the highway? No problem. Want to scoot away from a traffic light? No effort at all. This really is a car that does everything very well, including getting good fuel economy when the throttle is used lightly: using only 7.8L/100km in the city and 5.6L on the highway. Verdict At $24,999, the price might seem a bit steep for a subcompact car but this little machine comes almost fully loaded for that price. The options available are not “must have” items so the price can be kept in check. This Fiesta ST is a gem in the subcompact class, delivering great economy, fabulous interior and plenty of smiles. The ST just delivers much bigger smiles.

2015 Ford F150 a head turner
The all-new 2015 Ford F150 turned some heads at the Vancouver International Auto show including mine. Here’s close look at what’s new and different. I think the first thing that impresses is the new styling. The LED back lit headlights are a real stand out and the grille is a three-bar traveling all the way down to the bumper, very nice. Next noteworthy change is the super lightweight military grade aluminum alloy body, weighing almost 318 kgs less than the previous model. We saw glimpses of this with Ford’s concept truck, the Atlas, but did not expect it to become reality so soon. No waste of materials building this new truck. Any unused aluminum during manufacture is reclaimed. When it goes on sale late this year, there will be five trims available: XL, XLT, Lariat, Platinum and King

Ranch. Chrome appearance packages are available with them all. Monochromatic sport appearance packages are available with all but the King. Optional power running boards drop down into position only when the doors are opened and remain tight against the body. Some of the safety concerns expressed around driving a pickup are addressed with
the use of sensors in the advanced personal safety system that control deployment of the dual stage front airbags, front seat side airbags, and side canopy air bags. Advance-Trac and roll stability control comes standard. MyKey technology allows you to program the ignition keys with reminders to drive at appropriate speeds, limit the volume on audio system, limiting the vehicles top speed, mute the audio system until the front seatbelts are fastened. There are second-row inflatable safety belts, which work like a traditional belt but include a tubular airbag that inflates in the event of a crash and distributes the force of the impact across a wider area of the passenger’s chest. A feature called Curve control, automatically provides more aggressive four-wheel braking when the truck is going into a corner too fast.

There are host of safety systems. Adaptive cruise control, allows drivers to set a cruising speed and use radar technology to monitor traffic ahead and maintain a safe distance between vehicles. The lane keeping system is designed to help avert unintentional drifting of the vehicle outside the intended driving lane. It automatically detects the left or right-hand road lane markings using a camera mounted between the windshield and interior rear-view mirror. The Blind Spot Information System with cross-traffic alert uses radar hidden in
the taillights to detect a vehicle entering a driver’s blind spot while driving or backing up. Can’t believe I’ve got this far talking about a truck without mentioning power! One of the engine choices is a new 2.7L EcoBoost
EcoBoost engine, which we are familiar with and a 5.0L V8. The trucks equipped with EcoBoost engines will benefit from standard Active Grille Shutters. Active Grille Shutters stay open when extra engine cooling is needed, such as during lowspeed stop-and-go driving or while working in hot weather. They automatically close to reduce aerodynamic drag at cruising speed. Fuel economy numbers and prices should be released soon.

Reader Yvonne Logan thinks there should be a universal hand signal that would alert a following car’s driver that they have left on their high beams. “I’ve tried sticking my hand out the window and waving and even hitting my brake lights three times as some sort of signal,” Logan writes. “Never any luck with that, so I end up just praying that an oncoming car will flash their lights. It’s blinding and obviously dangerous…I feel like I’m being chased by a jet!”

In addition to external front and rear styling changes, its roomy interior got a onceover in a refurbish that also included two important new standard active safety features, electronic stability and traction control systems. The base engine in a 2010 Altima sedan or coupe is a robust 2.5-litre four cylinder and a 3.5-litre V6 was an option. A six-speed manual transmission was available with the four-cylinder and the continuously variable transmission option was standard with the V6 engine. The fuel-frugal 2.5 litre four-cylinder (175 horsepower) can get 8.9 L/100km in the city and 6.1 L/100km on the highway and runs on regular gasoline. The 3.5 litre V6 can produce a whopping 270 horsepower, yet it still provides decent city/highway fuel consumption (rated at 10.6/7.7 L/100km). It does, however, have a craving for premium
The Nissan Altima can be a reliable, hard to beat used car purchase in the family sedan class.

quality fuel. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is more efficient than a conventional automatic and is designed to always provide best fuel economy, however, some drivers dislike the way it holds engine speed at an optimal level. On the plus, it has a solid reputation for reliability and a nice feature of this CVT is a sequential manual mode that provides six speed settings. There’s also a less popular hybrid version of Altima, which claims an outstanding city fuel consumption continued on page 7

Nissan Altima a reliable, hard to beat used car purchase from page 6
rating of 5.8 L/100km. This full-hybrid powertrain was jointly developed with Toyota and can run for short distances completely on battery power. Like most hybrid sedans the battery pack is stored in the trunk. As a result, the rear seats do not fold-down to expand the cargo area and there’s a reduced amount of cargo space in the trunk. A push-button intelligent key system is standard on this generation Altima. It’s a convenient feature that allows you to start the engine without actually inserting a key in the switch barrel. The key fob must, of course, be inside the car and is best kept on your person. Altima got the coveted “recommend buy” rating from Consumer Reports. Although higher than usual incidence of brake and electrical repair did show up on owner surveys, the overall rating for reliability was still better than average, with major mechanical issues showing up. A rear-view camera was added to select packages on the sedan and coupe
models in 2011 and three new exterior colours are available. Except for Bluetooth connectivity with the optional Luxury Package on the sedan, Altima was unchanged for 2012. The Altima Hybrid, however, was discontinued. In crash tests performed by the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) this generation Altima performed well and got good ratings. However, it only got an “acceptable” rating in a roof crushability test, which simulates a roll-over. Another test of the front seats and head restraints, which simulates a rear-end impact, also resulted in an “acceptable” rating. The next generation 2013 Altima, performed better in both of these tests and earned an overall “Top Safety Pick” rating. Good to look at, technically sophisticated and economical to drive, the Nissan Altima can be a reliable, hard to beat used car purchase in the family sedan class. Safety Recalls: 2010 to 2012 Nissan Altima: 2009/10: The metal upper strut insulators may fail and allow the strut rod to come
out of its mounting position, which will adversely affect vehicle handling. Dealers will replace the front strut insulators. 2012: The side curtain airbag inflators may have been incorrectly manufactured and, as a result,
one or both airbags may not deploy as intended. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace one or both side curtain airbag assemblies. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc. ca

The moment that you left me, my heart was split in two, one si e Ƥlle with memories, the other side died with you. I often lay awake at night when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheek. Remembering you is easy, I do it everyday, but missing you is a heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain, for life will never be the same. Love forever, your husband Peter
MEMORIAL
Norma Jean Guschuk May 8, 1930-April 13, 2013 We thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. We think of you in silence, we often speak your name, Now all we have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake with which we’ll never part. God has you in his keeping we have you in our hearts. Love and forever miss you, Darlene (Lorne) and family Debbie and family
A healthy local economy depends on you

Warwick Sears to join real estate foundation board The interests of Anna Warwick Sears appear to extend beyond managing the quality of our water supply. The executive director of the Okanagan Basin Water Board, Warwick Sears has been appointed to the board of governors for the Real Estate Foundation of British Columbia by the provincial minister of finance Mike de Jong. The five-member board of governors oversees the business of the foundation. Warwick Sears will serve a threeyear term on the board.
Where are the Positive bounce to housing market real estate home sellers? ▼ OKANAGAN-SHUSWAP
The Okanagan-Shuswap housing market bounced back during March from somewhat dampened results in February, according to the region real estate board. OMREB president Darcy Griffiths, a Vernon realtor, said, “During the past year, the local market has maintained a slow but steady upward trajectory and experienced a moderate recovery from the cyclically low sales levels at the start of 2013. While other B.C. markets have been on a downward trend for the past four months, all three OMREB zones have seen modest to strong improvement in sales for various property types. “ Griffiths added it’s encouraging to note that the region-wide demand for single family homes showed marked improvement during the month of March, increasing by 40 per cent year-over-year to 321 units from 231 in 2013—especially since

▼ OF PRIME INTEREST
Expense of mortgage insurance shouldn’t be ignored A guarantor or co-signer can help secure the financing to either purchase or refinance a home. People often use the terms guarantor and co-signer interchangeably, but each has very different responsibilities and rights. A guarantor or co-signer would be required if the applicant is not able to obtain a mortgage approval independently because of a poor credit rating, inadequate down payment, insufficient employment history or questionable income. Most mortgages will be approved if there is someone to back the borrower should he/she have any trouble making the payment. A co-signer is basically a coowner being registered on title and equally accountable for the payments, although it is commonly understood that he/she will not make the payments.
Co-signers are typically used when you need to support the income of the mortgage applicant. The co-signer will go through the typical application procedure of a credit check and disclosure of all assets and liabilities as well as employment information. Co-signers must sign all of the mortgage documents and can expect to remain on title until such time as the applicant qualifies for the mortgage on their own. So a co-signer is a co-owner. A guarantor personally guarantees the payments will be made if the original applicant defaults. The guarantor has no claim to the property because he/she is not on title but as guarantor he/ she does sign the mortgage documents. A guarantor has to be stronger financially than a co-signer because that individual promises to carry the entire debt should the
homeowner default. During the mortgage application process, a guarantor will undergo a credit check and must disclose assets, liabilities and income. It is a huge responsibility for a guarantor to take on as that individual will have fewer rights than a co-signer. While their obligation is the same as a co-signer, they don’t have the luxury of being on title so they don’t have a claim to the property. If the homeowner defaults on the payments and the situation deteriorates to the point that the homeowner can’t meet his/her obligations, the home will usually be sold and the guarantor will be responsible for the missed payments as well as any loss associated with the sale. Most lenders will offer early release policies that free the guar-
antor from obligation (usually after 12 months) if the borrower is current with payments and has established good credit or employment history. Before agreeing to act on behalf of an applicant, both co-signers and guarantors need to evaluate the time commitment they are willing to make. For example, if they wish to purchase their own home in a few years or take on any major debt such as a car or boat loan, they may not qualify because of their commitment as a guarantor or co-signer.

P
otential home sellers: If you are waiting for the “right” time to list your property for sale, now is the time to do it. If you start to think “if I just wait till the weather warms up a bit I will have more of an advantage,” you are making the wrong decision. The snow has already melted and real estate agents’ phones are now ringing with anxious buyers looking REAL ESTATE to find that perfect suited RUNDOWN home for themselves. Just look at the statistics which illustrate the current mood in the market. Residential sales have Ceinwen jumped from 154 transMorgan actions in March 2013 to 194 for March 2014— that’s a substantial leap of 25.97 per cent. I recently had the chance to catch up with a few of our local realtors in the Central Okanagan, and they all had the same news to report—the market is hot. They are encountering situations where multiple offer scenarios are taking place when a client puts their home up for sale. Year to date sales for condominiums are facing a very similar optimism, as 171 units have sold this far in 2014, up from 136 for the same period last year, reflecting a 25.74 per cent increase. Considering how over the last seven years the condo market has been saturated, this is great news for condo homeowners. There is light at the end of the tunnel for condo owners wanting to sell. Coupled with high volume sales in the Central Okanagan, the market is also experiencing below average inventory in the first quarter of 2014, which is expected to continue well into the second quarter. Single family homes currently on the market are still facing lower than normal. As of March 2014, there were 1,233 properties listed on the MLS. That’s a whopping decrease of nearly 18 per cent from 1,489 registered for the previous year. Condominiums are continuing to follow suit as well, with a decrease in product on the market for the month of March. It was reported that there were only 675 units available on the MLS, that number is down from 2013, 778, reflecting a decline of roughly 14 per cent. So one has to wonder, where are all the sellers? And what are they all waiting for? The market is hot, there are hungry qualified buyers out there shopping and not as much competition on the market has there has been normally in the past. Ceinwen Morgan has worked in the Kelowna real estate industry for the past five years.
