MOST TOURISTS who visit the relatively unknown South American country of Ecuador quickly learn it is about much more than vegetables and volcanoes.

S

et in a traditional aboriginal ceremonial site near Gellatly Bay, a pictograph, surrounded by graffiti, was discovered more than a decade ago.

At the time, the pictograph couldn’t be distinguished from the other markings, so cleaning products were used to erase the perceived vandalism.

The graffiti was successfully removed, but the pictograph wouldn’t be erased.

Later, someone recognized the pictograph. They chipped the rock off of the wall and brought it to Westbank First Nation staff.

That rock now sits in a display case in the main gallery of Sncəwips Heritage Museum.

“It’s a metaphor for who we are as a people,” says Jordan Coble, curatorial and heritage researcher for WFN. “They were able to clean up all the other graffiti with chemicals, (but) they couldn’t do anything with the pictograph. That’s all natural and it’s who we are. It’s the voices of our ancestors living through that rock.”

The pictograph rock represents one of the many stories Sncəwips Heritage Museum hopes to tell when it officially opens June 14.

CLOSE-UP

Museum carries deep meaning for WFN From A1 The opening of Sncəwips Heritage Museum (pronounced SENCH-WEE-PS) has been in the works for several years.

In June 2011, the Westbank First Nation Heritage Repository and Offices officially opened to provide a safe place for artifacts to be housed. Prior to that, artifacts were stored in a small space within WFN’s Community Services building.

The new location at Estates Square in Westbank, 201-1979 Old Okanagan Highway, has a greater capacity and will focus on the heritage of WFN, as well as Okanagan Nation and First Nations people across Canada.

Tracy Satin and Jordan Coble have the job of bringing that history to life.

Satin, heritage officer and curator of Sncəwips Heritage Museum, brings a wealth of experience with her.

After earning a master’s degree from the University of Alberta in classical archeology, she worked as an archeologist for several years, but found that it wasn’t a satisfying career path.

Satin then furthered her education in collections conservation and management before landing a job with the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History, where she was one of several conservators who worked on the Star Spangled Banner exhibit.

After her visa expired, she moved to the Okanagan and worked with Kelowna Museums for nine years. She was hired

by WFN as heritage officer and curator in January 2013.

WADE PATERSON/CAPITAL NEWS

HERITAGE officer and curator Tracy Satin shows an Indian Constable badge, which is currently on loan to the Sncəwips Heritage Museum.

Coble’s resumé isn’t as extensive as Satin’s, but he brings an important cultural understanding to the team.

The WFN member was born and raised in the Okanagan and has been involved with the community throughout his life.

He was hired as curatorial and heritage researcher around the same time Satin was brought on board; however, he volunteered at the repository prior to that. He has a degree in cultural studies.

“I do a lot of speaking on behalf of the community, on behalf of this space and on behalf of intergovernmental affairs,” says Coble. “Since I was little, I’ve always wanted to be a part of the community…

and be accepted as someone who is knowledgeable in the ways of our cultures and traditions.”

The duo agrees their unique backgrounds have been beneficial during the process of creating Sncəwips Heritage Museum.

“I think that’s why our space has kind of blossomed the way it has,” says Coble.

Sncəwips Heritage Museum showcases archaeological artifacts, political gifts, pieces donated by artists in the community and objects such as baskets and tools.

“Now that we have a public face and we have a safe space and a bigger space to house objects and to care for them, people are now slow-

‘‘

A PLACE FOR THE STORAGE OF ARTIFACTS, A PLACE FOR EDUCATION AND UTILIZING THOSE COLLECTIONS IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO OUR PEOPLE. Jordan Coble

ly starting to come in and donate,” says Satin.

“Being an arts organization, we have a very limited budget, but we really do want objects (that are) connected to the community. Those are the

stories we want to tell.”

For Coble, there isn’t one item in the museum’s current collection that is the most important.

“There is definitely a lot of pride that I take in this space,” says Coble.

“I handle each artifact and each collection piece with the utmost respect: Whether it’s a gift of a water bottle from another nation or a headdress.

“To me, it’s all equal.”

The museum is also currently working with B.C.’s Archeology Branch to recover artifacts that are from the Okanagan.

Satin points to one part of WFN’s Self-Government Agreement, which states: Canada and WFN shall negotiate and attempt to reach agreement regarding the pos-

sible return of Okanagan artifacts reasonably attributed to WFN held by the Canadian Museum of Civilization to WFN. In order to retrieve the artifacts, WFN is required to have a facility, which meets accepted Canadian museological standards for long-term storage and display of donated cultural artifacts.

“That was really the seed where this all grew from,” says Satin.

And the plan is to keep growing. The longterm goal is to establish a heritage centre and museum of national significance.

Coble says community consultation has been an integral part of creating Sncəwips Heritage Museum.

“The community members were the drivers in creating a museum,” says Coble.

“It’s not what I’m trying to say, it’s not what Tracy is trying to say, it’s what the community is trying to say in respect to our past, present and future.

“A place for the storage of artifacts, a place for education and utilizing those collections is of the utmost importance to our people.”

Satin says the name Sncəwips was chosen because it means “a house/ protector of First Nation heritage.”

When the museum officially opens in June, members of the public will discover a main gallery, a rotating exhibition, a reading room and an educational room, complete with a chalkboard wall, which will be ideal for hosting small groups.

Coble’s vision of the museum is a space that is welcoming to everyone who enters its doors.

“I see them not just here to look at the artifacts and read the collections…I see them here just to be here, because they enjoy this space.”

Like Coble, Satin also wants the museum to be a lively atmosphere.

“Museums are supposed to be fun places.

They’re not supposed to be boring, which some may have become. “(We’d) love to have lots of kids around doing tours and projects… but we also want the museum to be really comfortable for everyone in the community, so elders can come here and maybe look in the archives, or help us identify people in photographs, or just come and have tea and sit.”

▼ EARTHQUAKE

Coastal tremor vibrations reach Central Okanagan Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Michelle Trudeau was nestled in her downtown Kelowna home, watch-

ing a movie Wednesday night when her world was rocked.

“We have a 77-gallon fish tank in our living room and we, all of a

sudden, looked at the fish tank, and the live plants were swaying back and forth,” she said.

“On the top of the tank, there were waves

and it was almost overflowing onto the carpet and the blinds were swaying back and forth.”

She didn’t actually feel the movement her-

self, but just seeing her surroundings shift was unnerving.

So Trudeau, like many other Okanaganites, went to social media to find out what happened.

Turns out that she was one among dozens in Kelowna feeling tremors from a 6.6 magnitude earthquake that hit just after 8 p.m. off the coast of Vancouver Island. Two more earthquakes followed with magnitudes of 5.0 and 4.2.

the Geological Service of Canada, which is a part of Natural Resources Canada, confirmed that the epicentre was about 50 kilometres off the northwest coast of Vancouver and struck at a depth of 11 kilometres.

The shake reached as far as Kelowna in one direction and Seattle in the other.

“It was big,” said Mulder, noting it took a minute and a half for the earth’s waves to reach Kelowna.

Mulder also pointed out that the human body is well tuned to such events, when they’re in a position to be.

“People who were sitting down and doing things quietly felt it,” she said. “The human body is a very good accelerometer.”

Mulder said that Kelowna isn’t in an at-risk position in terms of fault lines, but it’s not completely unheard of for tremors to be felt in the valley.

Murray Roed, a geologist who once taught on the subject at UBC Okanagan, said the Okanagan does have a big fault line.

“It goes as deep as 20 km in the west,” he said.

“But we haven’t had a major earthquake in the Okanagan in at least 10,000 years.”

The general rule of thumb, however, is one every 500 years.

Diversity of WFN history preserved Meaning from A3 Education is another key part of Sncəwips Heritage Museum’s mission statement.

Coble says the biggest misconception is that First Nations people are the same all across the country. “We’re definitely very

diverse.”

Satin says the point of the museum is not only to break down stereotypes, but also illustrate that First Nations cultures of Canada are still flourishing.

“They were here 10,000 years ago, but they’re still thriving today,” says Satin.

Coble believes the museum will be a place that will benefit both First Nations and non-First Nations people.

“This space is for everyone, and by everyone I mean WFN members, I mean non-members who live on reserve, I mean the greater Kelow-

na, the Okanagan Valley and the syilx territory as a whole,” says Coble.

“That’s what we’re really trying to show here: How we interconnect with one another.” wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

Impact of school district cuts won’t be apparent until fall Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

School trustees voted in favour of $4 million in budget cuts Wednesday night, although nobody could really say how that decision would pan out.

Central Okanagan school board trustee Murli Pendharkar asked at least

four times what would be the specific impact once the budget cuts were implemented in the upcoming school year, and he was told that it wasn’t clear.

“Can we say we will have to reduce staff by (a specific) number,” he asked. No, was the short answer.

School district superintendent Hugh Gloster pointed out that the Central Okanagan School District is in the unique position of expecting a surge in kindergarten enrolment in the year ahead, and a significant drop in senior high school students.

require a higher teacher/ student ratio, so there will be some hiring done for the elementary grades.

High school, however, does not. No word on what that means, although one trustee suggested that schools could adapt to thinner resources by rotating courses.

For example, Physics 12 could be one year, but

not the next.

Gloster pointed out that specifics on cuts should be known by September.

To get a grasp on the $4-million disparity between incoming funds and ongoing debts across the school district, the school board made cuts in 10 areas.

Most significant is the

$1.3-million reduction to the per pupil funding across the region for the 2014-15 budget.

Other significant cuts include $250,000 taken from the district’s technology budget, $50,000 reduction to the Hollywood Road/Learning Centre budget, $120,000 less for the operations department budget and $500,000 less

The reason for the shortfall has to do with rising utility costs, and that districts must kick in more for rising MSP premiums for their employees.

Also creating pressure is salary increases set out in the recent CUPE agreement that weren’t funded by the province.

Aboriginal career fair at UBCO

UBC Okanagan will host the 20th annual Aboriginal Career Fair in the Okanagan on Thursday, May 1.

The event will take place in the Charles E. Fipke Centre for Innovative Research, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

There will be a formal ceremony at 10 a.m. and a barbecue lunch at noon.

The career fair provides an opportunity for aboriginal high school students to gain career information from a number of post-secondary institutions and professional associations.

This year, organizers expect more than 40 vendors and about 300 students on campus.

The annual event is a partnership between UBC’s Okanagan campus, the Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society and Okanagan College.

Lyle Mueller, UBC special advisor on aboriginal relations , is one of the founding organizers in the Aboriginal Career Fair more than 20 years ago.

“This started out as a community initiative. It was not driven by any one public education institution,” said Mueller.

“Our focus has always been to show aboriginal youth that aboriginal people can and do work in every job and career imaginable.”

He said students who came to the first career fair are now in a wide range of careers themselves.

“What we are seeing now are the children of those first students who attended the career fair,” he said.

“We are helping to turn education around with a second generation of children now coming to the career fair.

“This career fair is driven by aboriginal communities and it is making a difference.”

Agriculture council wants minister to protect farmland Jennifer Smith

“We saw two things that really stood out and concerned us. One was the two-zone system and the second was the regional panels,” said Vander Waal. “…When you divide it into two different zones, you’ve got land that is classified as very high class land, in the Kootenays as well as the Peace Country, that you basically are suggesting that the agricultural land in those areas is less necessary in terms of agriculture than Fraser Valley lands.”

STAFF REPORTER

The B.C. Agriculture Council is confident the new provincial minister of agriculture, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick, is taking its complaints seriously.

The council met with the minister to discuss proposed changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve, which would see provincial farmland divided by geography, with different sets of rules for the two different zones.

Calling it potentially divisive, and raising concerns the proposed regional councils would be more apt to agree to pleas to remove land from the ALR, council chairman Stan Vander Waal said B.C. farmers are worried.

“Once land comes out of the ALR, it never comes back in,” said Vander Waal.

“What we really need is to have an open conversation, and today was really the beginning of that open consultation with the government and with all the parties that have an interest in agriculture going forward.”

The council met with ministry staff and reviewed every section of the bill in question, Bill 24, with the minister responsible for rural B.C., Donna Barnett, and two members of the Agricultural Land Commission.

Letnick then facilitated a discussion of the farmers’ concerns.

‘‘

dreds of letters…and my commitment is to read every letter as the new minister,” he said.

Ultimately, Letnick will make a recommendation to government as to whether the bill should proceed.

The intent of the bill is to try to empower the sec-

tor to reach $14 billion in economic activity annually by 2017, Letnick said.

Letnick is actively seeking informed criticism of the bill, saying he wants stories as to why British Columbians support or do not support the new bill.

Federal gov’t matches funds for economic development

I

t was a pleasure this week to announce that the Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission received funding under the Invest Canada-Community Initiatives (ICCI) program, which provides matching federal funds to help communities attract, retain and expand investment.

Investment is a key driver to creating jobs and opportunities for hard-working Canadians and their families The COEDC will use the funds to help develop a business investment guide.

As the Commission’s hardworking director Robert Fine noted, “The guide will provide a detailed descrip-

tion of the investment climate in the region including cost of doing business, incentives, competitive advantages, skilled workforce information, infrastructure Ron and R & D capacities; Cannan these assets will be communicated in a style that is cross cultural and visually appealing to readers including the availability of the guide in multiple languages.

“The Region has a great story to tell and this project will allow us to do exactly that, in a strategic way. Foreign investors are feeling increasingly confident about Canada, evidenced by the fact that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows to Canada have increased for the fourth consecutive year. This was the highest amount of FDI coming

into Canada since 2008.”

Canada is the easiest place in the G-7 to start a business, according to the World Bank and the best country in the G-20 for business, according to both Forbes and Bloomberg.

The Economist Intelligence Unit says Canada is the best country among the G-7 to do business over the next five years from 2014-2018.

In this positive business climate it is important to continue to attract foreign investment.

One in 10 working Canadians is employed by foreign-owned companies in Canada, and foreign-owned companies account for as much as 45 percent of Canada’s merchandise exports.

I have no doubt the COEDC will continue to be successful in its efforts to attract investment to the region. The Okanagan has so much to offer including the second fastest growing city in

a s c Canada (Kelowna); access to one of j Canada’s top 10 international airports; l f good schools; an excellent medical campus; and a lifestyle that is enhanced by our beautiful natural surroundings, a sandy beaches, ski hills and gorgeous R e locales like our wineries.

With competitive costs, low taxes, a S strong banking sector and vibrant com- w munities like our own, Canada, and es- v pecially the Okanagan, is an attractive a o place to do business. t t CANADIAN VICTIMS BILL OF RIGHTS On April 3, 2014, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced the intro- t duction of legislation to create a Can- b adian Victims Bill of Rights—a first in p n Canadian history.

▼ KITIMAT REFINERY

Build ‘greenest most efficient refinery in the world’

T

his is the second of two columns addressing what I see as the greatest threat to the B.C. environment in our lifetime.

The Alberta oil industry’s Northern Gateway plan is to export bitumen to Asia via tankers from the B.C. coast. Under no circumstances should we allow that to happen. A bitumen spill at sea could destroy our coastline, together with the fish and wildlife that depend on it, for hundreds of years.

My first column (Capital News, April 24) discussed the light oil spill by the Exxon Valdez and the terrible toll it took on the Alaskan habitat and fishery. It also gave proof that a bitumen spill would be far worse. A bitumen spill would be almost completely unrecoverable because it would sink and stay on the bottom of our seabed. The solution that is best for Canada is to build a refinery in Kitimat. I am promoting and backing this solution.

It will convert the bitumen to very light fuels that would float and evaporate if ever spilled. There are other enormous benefits:

David Black • There will be a major reduction in greenhouse gases. We will use new cutting-edge Canadian technology in our refinery. It will be so clean that, in combination with oilsands extraction, there will be less CO2 than in the huge conventional oilfields and refineries of Iraq and Nigeria. In other words the Kitimat refinery will neutralize the extra greenhouse gases generated in Canada’s oilsands. This refinery will be built in Asia if not in Kitimat, and if so it will emit double the CO2 of our new design. This is the reason that Andrew Weaver of the BC Green Party is in favour of a Canadian refinery.

• An Asian refinery

will also generate 100 train cars a day of very dirty coke (much fouler than B.C. coal) which will be subsequently burnt in the atmosphere to create power. The Kitimat refinery will not result in the production of any coke.

As we all live on one planet, it is far better for the global environment to build this refinery in Canada.

• Construction of the refinery will create 6,000 jobs in B.C. for five years.

Operations at the refinery will result in more permanent jobs than any project has ever created in B.C. with approximately 3,000 direct jobs. These will be highly paid permanent jobs. These jobs will be available for the life of the refinery which should be in excess of 50 years.

In addition there will be thousands of other jobs created in spinoff local petrochemical companies and in indirect employment throughout the province.

• The Canadian and provincial governments, local regional districts and municipalities, and many First Nations, will share in billions of new tax dollars

each year.

Unfortunately our Canadian oil companies are not interested in building a new major refinery. They are focused on extraction which is more profitable than refining.

One of them challenged me to spearhead the refinery myself, so I am doing that. We have a solid business plan and as a consequence Chinese banks and other institutions are prepared to lend us most of the funds required to build the green est and most efficient refinery in the world. We are currently moving ahead with engineering design and environmental work.

We will also build a safe pipeline from Alberta to the refinery, with the active participation of First Nations. Modern pipelines can be built and operated safely. Leak data is available for everyone to see on Canadian and US government websites and it proves recently constructed pipelines are not leaking. Furthermore, some of the best pipelining companies in the world are based in Canada.

In addition, we will build a fleet of new tankers, powered by LNG rather than Bunker C oil, to transport the refined products to Asia. This way we know the tankers will be state-of-theart and as safe as possible.

The fleet will be owned by a company based in B.C. so it cannot shirk its legal liability if there ever is a spill at sea.

Let me be up front about my biases. I am for creating thousands of good permanent jobs in B.C. I am for creating billions of new tax dollars for government coffers. I am for reducing the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions. I am for building an oil pipeline that will never leak. I am for building a modern tanker fleet that carries only refined fuels that float and evaporate if spilled. I am against shipping bitumen in tankers.

If you agree that we should not put bitumen in tankers please contact your local MP and say so.

The Canadian government makes a decision on Northern Gateway next month.

David Black is the chairman of Black Press.

planet,” he concluded, “is a combination of ignorance, prejudice and vested interests.”

To put that another way: David Black

Federal gov’t creates Canadian Victims Bill of Rights Cannan from A10 and currently manage successful victims’ services programs in their own jurisdictions, such legislation does not exist at the federal level.

Introducing a Canadian Victims Bill of Rights is part of our government’s Plan for Safe Streets and Communities which focuses on holding violent offenders accountable, enhancing the rights of victims, and increasing the efficiency of our justice system.

During the consultations leading up to the bill’s introduction, many participants expressed the need for greater information for victims and for a clear role for victims at every stage of the justice process. Others called for

an increased understanding of the needs of specific victims, including aboriginal people, young victims of crime, or those who live in remote and rural communities.

Throughout the consultations, there was strong support for the idea of formally recognizing the rights of victims of crime.

The legislation will create statutory rights for victims of crime including a right to information; a right to protection, particularly their security and privacy; a right to participation; and a right to restitution.

If you would like to learn more about the Victims’ Bill of Rights, I invite constituents to go to www.justice.gc.ca.

Every April, National Victims Awareness Week

is held to raise awareness about issues facing victims of crime and the services, programs and laws in place to help victims and their families.

This year, the Central Okanagan RCMP Victim Services, led by the passionate and hardworking Cary Burger and her team of dedicated co-workers and volunteers, hosted several sessions to raise awareness of people in our community who are victims of crime and those who are caring for those who have been victimized.

They were able to do so as a recipient of $7,200 under the Victims Fund, a grants and contributions program administered by the Department of Justice Canada.

I want to thank all of

our local organizations and individuals, many who are volunteers, that help victims of crime at a time when people in our community are in need of compassion and support.

Wet wood burn source of concerns The sight of Kelowna’s Tolko mill belching out thick plumes of smoke has been a bit disconcerting to area residents.

Calling in to the Capital News, the city and the sawmill, area residents expressed concern that the whole

city was going up in flames.

But rest assured, it’s not.

“It’s a controlled burn of wet wood,” said a Tolko spokesperson Thursday afternoon.

No word on how long the burn will continue for.

Students clean up at Provincial Skills Canada Competition

By Kassidie Cornell Mount Boucherie Secondary School is a unique place with many diverse clubs, accomplished sports teams, and has an amazing staff. At MBSS, we have many achievements to be proud of, especially our recent Provincial Skills Canada results. The 20th annual Provincial Skills Canada competition was hosted at Tradex, Abbottsford on April 9th.

Six students represented Mount Boucherie this year and all returned home successful. Bo Rouck and Isaac Massey worked towards a silver medal in Video and TV, while Matt Carrier and Cody Newman took home a bronze medal for 2D animation. Brittany Dyck and Wendy Schindler also represented Mount Boucherie at Skills Canada, Brittany earning a bronze medal in Graphic Design and Wendy Schindler got a bronze medal for Fashion Design. Results such as these show that not everyone has the ability to ace a provincial exam, but that doesn’t mean they don’t strive in other areas.

Last week, the Fraser Institute report revealed that MBSS was ranked 224th out of 293 secondary schools across British Columbia based on our provincial exam results. How can the Fraser Institute rank schools based solely on exam results from 5 courses, when schools have more to offer.Though Mount Boucherie’s exam results were lower than expected, it certainly does not define Mount Boucherie Secondary, a place of art, music, and talent, and great academics, as a school.

BCAA plans to open its first auto service centre in Kelowna at 1545 Keehn Rd.

BCAA to premiere repair service in Kelowna The British Columbia Automobile Association plans to break new ground for auto repair service.

And Kelowna has been chosen as the premiere site for planned multiple BCAA Auto Service Centres across the Okanagan.

The plan calls for the service centres to be built out over the next three years across the valley, with more to come elsewhere in B.C. over the next decade.

“For more than 50 years, BCAA has been servicing cars at the roadside, getting British Columbians going and keeping them safe,” said Eric Hopkins, BCAA’s senior vice-president and chief officer of New Ventures.

“We realize that we can bring something special to the auto service market. We already have our roadside assistance service, and operating our own stores is a natural extension of our business.

“BCAA has been serving Kelowna residents since 1986, which makes the community the perfect location to kick off an exciting new service.”

Open to all British Columbians, BCAA’s Auto Service Centre will focus on providing trusted service and customer education. All of the locations will be open concept, giving customers full view of their vehicle as repairs are being made.

Customers can speak directly to the technician and will have full access to detailed information related to work that is required and work that has been completed.

“We want to help our customers understand their vehicle better and keep them openly informed about any of its maintenance and repairs,” said Hopkins. “Customers…can play an active role in the ongoing health of their car.”

THEATRE

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, the award-winning Broadway hit musical, is coming to Kelowna.

The Okanagan Mission Secondary School FAME Academy will present the story of an enchanted castle, colourful characters and a tale of true love in a tale as old as time.

Youngsters are encouraged to dress up as little princes and princesses and meet the cast after a performance.

The play schedule is May 6 to 8, 7 p.m., and May 9, 6 p.m. All performances will be at the Mary Irwin Theatre in the Rotary Centre for the Arts. Tickets available online at www.selectyourtickets.com.

FILM FESTIVAL

UBC Okanagan will host its fifth annual student digital media exhibition, featuring 22 short documentary films made by undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in Digital Media and History: Filmmaking for Activists and Scholars.

The exhibition takes place Wednesday, April 30, from 4 to 6 p.m., in the Arts Building atrium, 1147 Research Rd. on the UBC campus.

Students chose their own projects based on their passions and fields of study.

Included are documentaries on subjects including the local drag scene in Kelowna, the impact of globalization on labour in the global South, the rise of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnoses, migrant farmers’ rights, and the “return of the salmon” in local indigenous culture.

The event has a history of success, with stu-

Entertainment IN THE LOOP dents gaining valuable industry experience through the showcase of their work.

“At the first one of these, many of the students ended up with summer internships, as a result of showcasing their talent and finding just the right partnership with local filmmakers, researchers and media producers,” said course instructor Jessica Stites Mor, assistant professor of history.

The course is offered by the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences, with support from UBC Okanagan’s Media Centre.

CONCERT

A musical collaboration set for Saturday, May 3, 4:30 p.m., will be the culmination of two and half years of wishing, hoping and planning.

Percussionist/composer Bruce Henczel and the Okanagan Handbell Chorus join forces for a concert at Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church, 2091 Gordon Dr. In December 2011 at the Okanagan Symphony’s Family Christmas Special, Henczel and the Okanagan Handbell Chorus were the guest artists on the program.

The OHC is an ad hoc group of handbell musicians from through out the Okanagan Valley, with a few from farther afield, that was put together ex-

pressly for that event.

The concerts were highly successful. It was the first time Henczel had seen a handbell choir, and he was enthralled.

Many of the ringers described that opportunity as one of the best handbell experiences they’ve ever had, hoping for another opportunity to play together again.

The May 3 program will feature many of his own works: combinations of marimba, percussion, piano, bells, viola—even a piece entitled “Baked Earth” for flower pots!

Joining Henczel and the OHC on the program will be pianist and vocalist Heidi Hewitt.

An active performer and teacher in the Okanagan, Hewitt has sung

lead roles in Kelowna Actors Studio’s musicals, and sings the anthems for Kelowna Rockets games.

As a pianist she has played with the Okanagan Symphony.

Susan Carscadden-Mifsud leads the Okanagan Handbell Chorus. She is also recognized as one of Canada’s most accomplished handbell soloists, and will be adding her artistry and grace to the program in this seldom-seen musical form.

Tickets are available in advance at Mosaic Books in downtown Kelowna, and subject to availability can be purchased at the door.

MUSIC

The Red Bull Tour Bus will be making a stop in Kelowna to host a concert by the band Yukon Blonde on May 19, 3 p.m., at City Park.

The first of its kind in Canada, the Red Bull Tour Bus transforms into a complete sound stage.

The bus itself is comprised of three separate parts; 1967 GM Transit bus (front end), 1974 Silver Eagle (rear

three-quarters of the bus), and sits on a modern 2012 Freightliner Chassis.

Taking nine months to build, the bus morphs into a concert stage fully equipped with a 120,000 watt concert grade sound system.

To create the stage, the side of the bus was modified with a hydraulic life system to raise the roof 35 feet above the ground and extend a stage floor 17 feet wide by 15.5 feet deep.

It also features a fully equipped green room in the back for bands to chill, two 37-inch flat screens, hardwood floors and LED back lighting.

In as little as 25 minutes, the bus flips from 45-foot long road warrior to a full on rock arena.

CONCERT

“Something to Sing About-Canadiana” is the title of an upcoming concert/dinner/dance to be hosted by the Kelowna International Choir.

The event takes place Saturday, May 10, at Parkinson Recreation Centre.

Doors open at 5 p.m. and the concert will start at 6 p.m. sharp.

The choir is directed

by Dennis Colpitts and accompanied by Sylvia Clerke on piano.

Providing the music for the dance portion of the evening will be The Dance Band.

For tickets or other information, call 250-7650720 or 250-860-5823.

The Westbank Country Opry is the longest-running live music show in the Okanagan Valley, celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.

The Opry’s next show is Sunday, April 27, featuring all of the Westbank country music ensemble’s favourites along with three new performers.

The show is held at the Emmanuel Church auditorium, 2600 Hebert Rd., in Westbank (right next to the Holiday Inn).

Snacks and coffee are available during the intermission courtesy of the Emmanuel Church Youth Group and special rates are available for out-of-town groups and tours at the Holiday Inn.

Volunteer finalists will amaze and encourage you Dawn Wilkinson COLUMNIST

Do you want to be amazed? Encouraged?

Grounded in what others are doing to impact our community?

If you answered yes’ then I have a suggestion for you.

Attend the City of Kelowna’s Civic Awards Gala. It might be the best $25 you have spent in a while.

Did I hear you say, “Ah come on, what an exaggeration.”

My response to you is that each year I attend, I leave the event feeling uplifted and truly awe struck by the wonderful, committed people in our community.

These are people who give of themselves and

their resources to make the lives of others better.

There are teens who volunteer countless hours while keeping their school grades high and participating in extracurricular sports or arts and culture.

There are coaches and sporting teams that contribute to the fitness quotient of population.

There are men and women who donate time, skills and experience.

There are businesses, small, medium and large that support programs and services with finances, inkind products and servi-

ces, and volunteer time.

Each example puts a face and name to compassion; people caring about people.

I really do challenge you to get a ticket.

Tickets cost $25 per person and they are available through the City’s Glenmore office at 250469-8811. Tickets, if available, may also be purchased at the door.

The Awards Gala takes place at the Kelowna Community Theatre on Thursday, May 1.

Doors open at 5:45 p.m., for a Social Hour in

the main lobby with delicious food, drinks and excellent company. Photos and descriptions about each finalist will be on display. The awards show will start at 6:50 p.m.

The Bloomfields are excited to start the spring at the Inn (which is now open year round) and are

I love the unique flavour combinations introduced throughout the menu.

With dishes focusing on local ingredients, he offers an international array of flavours that he describes as “adventurous.”

For instance, the mussels are served in an amazing saffron, vanilla and roasted fennel sauce.

Paul Walker’s penultimate movie out this weekend

B

efore Paul Walker’s tragic death last November, he had completed filming on Brick Mansions and partially completed his role in Fast & Furious 7. While the latter comes out next year, the former is getting released this weekend and the added attention caused by his death should benefit its box office.

Brick Mansions is a remake of the French film District 13, written and produced by Luc Besson and uses Parkour, the training discipline that uses the existing urban environment as an obstacle course.

Parkour creator David Belle starred in the original film and recreates his role, starring with Walker and rapper RZA, using the discipline (which has also been used in movies like The Bourne Identity and Casino Royale) for many of the action sequences which should make for an exciting movie.

Set in a dystopian Detroit, abandoned brick mansions left from bet-

Walker plays an undercover cop who reluctantly teams up with an ex-con (Belle) to save his girlfriend from a drug kingpin (RZA).

In The Other Woman, Cameron Diaz stars as a woman who is trying to get her life back on track after discovering her boyfriend is married.

But when she accidentally meets the wife he’s been cheating on (Leslie Mann), she realizes they have much in common and they quickly move from being enemies to becoming friends.

When they discover he has had an affair with yet

another woman (Kate Upton), all three women team up to plot revenge on the three-timing man.

Also starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (best known as Jaime Lannister in Game of Thrones) and Nicki Minaj, this seemingly light-weight comedy is given a little gravitas with the help of direc-

tor Nick Cassavetes (The Notebook).

Like Oculus a few weeks ago, The Quiet Ones is a horror movie for those who like their frights without a lot of blood and guts.

On an estate outside of London, a professor and a team of university students conduct an experi-

ment on a young girl who harbours unspeakable secrets. What they do is unleash dark forces that are more terrifying than any of them expected.

Starring Jared Harris (Moriarty from Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows) and Sam Claflin (Finnick from Hunger Games: Catching Fire)

the performance movie critics are raving about is from Olivia Cooke (TV’s Bates Motel), calling it star-making.

Rick Davis is the general manager of Landmark Cinemas 8 in West Kelowna.

▼ WESTERN CONFERENCE FINAL

Must-win facing Rockets in Game 5 Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

It’s a well-worn sports cliché, but couldn’t be more true of the scenario facing the Kelowna Rockets tonight at Prospera Place.

“It’s one game at a time for us,” said Rockets’ head coach Ryan Huska.

“We just have to focus on winning that one game, and nothing else really matters right now.”

The Rockets face expulsion from the 2014 WHL postseason as they host the Portland Winterhawks Friday in Game 5 of the Western Conference final series.

Portland leads the best-of-seven matchup 3-1, after downing the Rockets 5-1 Wednesday

night in the Oregon city.

The Rockets’ undoing was penalty trouble, as the Winterhawks scored three times on the power play, all of them by Nic Petan.

Huska said the Rockets will need to be considerably more disciplined than they were on Wednesday, if his club is to force a sixth game in the series.

“The (Winterhawks) are a challenging team with the speed they play at, but we have to play smarter,” he said. “You have to play with emotion, but there’s a line you can’t cross or you’ll pay for it.

Some of our guys let their emotions get the better of them and that’s something we can’t do.”

In addition to another solid effort in goal by Jor-

don Cooke Wednesday, rookie Nick Merkley continued his stellar postseason play scoring the Rockets’ lone goal in the opening period.

The 16-year-old forward leads Kelowna with 17 playoff points.

And while Huska is duly impressed with Merkley’s team-leading performance, it also shines a light on the lack of production from other players.

“It says a lot about Nick Merkley, the player he is and the player he’s going to be,” said Huska. “Nick and Rourke (Chartier) have probably been our best players. On the flip side, it’s a message to our older players that they need to increase their production. Our 19-year-

As for his club’s mental state heading into Game 5, with a considerable hill to climb to make against a skilled team,

Huska said there is still belief in the Rockets’ dressing room.

“We’re a pretty good team, too, and the guys know that,” he said.

“We’re in a situation now

where we don’t have anything to lose, so we just need to throw everything we have out there on Friday and see what happens.”

Game 6, if needed,

would be played Sunday in Portland, with a 2 p.m. start.

A seventh game, if necessary, would be back in Kelowna on Tuesday, April 29.

Vernon/Kelowna rink adds Ryan Kuhn Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

MICHAEL BURNS/CCA

JIM Cotter (right) lost John Morris (left) from his

Vernon/Kelowna rink but has added former world junior champ Ryan Kuhn to play at third.

Jim Cotter’s Vernon/ Kelowna rink has added a former world champion to its lineup for the upcoming curling season.

Ryan Kuhn, who helped B.C. to a gold medal at the 2000 World Junior Curling Championship, will play third for the Okanagan team in 2014-15.

“We’re super excited about Ryan joining us,” Cotter said of Kuhn, who played second for

his brother Brad Kuhn in 2000. “He’s a talented player who’s had success playing competitively in the past.”

For Kuhn, competitive curling has been on the back burner for the last several years, as he devoted time to his career as a pilot for West Jet. Kuhn is excited to be returning to a competitive setting with one of Canada’s top men’s teams.

“I couldn’t ask for a better opportunity or a better group of guys to step back in with,” Kuhn

said. “I played with Rick and Tyrel, and Jim’s a great guy, too. All three are just down to earth people and that’s what I was looking for.”

Kuhn fills the vacancy left by John Morris, who joined Cotter’s rink last season, leading the Vernon/Kelowna foursome to the B.C. title and berths in the finals of both the Olympic trials and the Brier.

Cotter, who threw fourth rocks last season while Morris called the game, will return to his

former role as skip, while Kuhn will play third, Tyrel Griffith will be at second and Rick Sawatsky at lead.

Since leaving the Cotter rink, Morris has since resurfaced as the skip for the defending Brier champs, replacing Alberta’s Kevin Koe who decided to move on to form a new rink of his own.

“I talked it over with Jim, Tyrel and Rick and they were very understanding,” said Morris. “I can’t thank them enough

for the season we had, and I wish them nothing but the very best going forward.”

Morris, who lives in Calgary, was granted permission by Curl B.C. to join the Cotter team for the 2013-14 season.

Cotter said his rink and Morris parted ways on good terms and didn’t rule out the possibility of perhaps joining forces with him again in the future.

As a team, the Mor-

Runners shine in Oregon

A trio of Kelowna area track and field athletes felt the difference a little added competition can make as they ran and threw their way to personal best performances, including a bronze medal, at the Oregon Relays held last weekend at legendary Hayward field in Eugene, Oregon.

Competing for the first time at the event— held annually at the University of Oregon campus and attended by over 7000 competitors and fans— the Okanagan contingent of Aaron Stroda, Sean Bergman, and John Gay took advantage of the elite level fields to post seasonal and lifetime best marks in their respective events, placing them amongst the top competitors in the nation heading into the Canadian outdoor season.

Stroda, the reigning Canadian youth (16-17) champion in the hammer throw, discus, and shot put, was in action in all three of those events.

Using the heavier weights of the American high school level competition, the grade 12 student at Okanagan Mission Secondary struggled early, posting finishes of

8th (15.36m) and 13th (41.04m) in the shot put and discus before rebounding with a throw of 58.23m in the hammer; good for third place in the event which he hopes will carry him back to the top of the podium at the Canadian Junior championships in July.

In the high school boys 3000m, fellow OKM senior John Gay ran to an 18-second personal best time of 8:44.09 and 11th place out of 34 competitors in the hotly contested “A” final. With the time, Gay, who will join the Thunderbird Cross Country and Track teams at UBC Vancouver this fall, earned a qualifying spot to join Stroda at the junior nationals in St. Therese, Quebec, where he will compete in the 5000m and steeplechase events. “Competing at such a legendary venue as Hayward was an amazing experience for me” said Gay following his race.

“The history behind that place and the energy from the fans was just incredible.”

Competing in the second section of the 3000m, Gay’s training partner with the Oka-

nagan Athletics Club and KSS Grade 10 student Sean Bergman, proved he belonged amongst the older competitors. At first disappointed at his placement in the slower heat, the silver medalist from last year’s Legion Under 15 national championships made the most of the situation, leading the field of 36 from start to finish en route to victory and a 16 second career best time of 8:58.9. Bergman didn’t stop there, as less than three hours after his win in the 3000m, he was back on the track for the 1500m, where he set an another personal best with a clocking of 4:09.48 for 16th place out of the nearly 50 competitors.

Nathan Reiter, who coaches Gay and Bergman with the OAC’s distance group, said after the races at Eugene: “After consistent training by the entire group all winter, I knew that (Bergman and Gay) were ready to roll going into the event.

All the work put in during the off season paid huge dividends for them both and after a big milestone this weekend, it’s only onwards and upwards for the rest of the season.”

falling short twice, but now that time has passed we realized just what we accomplished. It really was a great year.”

Still, Cotter said his rink is ready to move on with Ryan Kuhn at third, a player with loads of ability.

“Seeing Ryan over the years in Super League and at bonspiels, he just made a ton of shots,” Cot-

ter said. “He plays the upweight well, he has nice soft game…he does it all well. His personality fits well with us, too, so we’re looking forward to it.”

Cotter said his team will play a lighter schedule than the past couple of years, playing in a few World Curling Tour events, as well as possibly the four Grand Slam competitions.

Icebreaker soccer tourney results Kelowna United teams played in their annual Ice Breaker tournament last weekend as teams hit soccer pitches in Lake Country with many solid results. Here is a recap of some gold medal winning performances.

KELOWNA UNITED U-11 GIRLS - BURN

Following on the heels of a tournament win in Penticton, the Kelowna Burn continued their run of good form in the Icebreaker tournament over the Easter weekend. After lopsided wins over Vernon and Prince George, the Burn came up against a much stronger opponent from Calgary. It was a back and forth affair with both teams having opportunities in the first half.

The best chance for Kelowna was a free kick from just outside the box that sailed just high. It would turn out to be a decisive moment as Calgary scored 5 minutes later and hung on for a 1-0 win.

In the medal rounds, the Burn faced another Kelowna United team, the Heat. It was another close battle but the Burn prevailed by a 2-0 score and took home their second gold medal of the season.

With only one goal conceded through open play over four games, the story of the tournament was the rock solid defending of Krysha Czenzeck, Presley Johnston, Chloe Ladd, Jaidyn McGrath, Brooklyn Piche, and Lauren Voros. Way to go Burn!

KELOWNA UNITED U-12 GIRLS - HIDEAKI CRUSHERS

The Kelowna U-12 Girls Hideaki Crushers went 3-0 to advance to the final of the U-12 division against the Prince George U-12 Robins. Kelowna scored early as Alison Mcduff pressured a PG defender into a mistake before striking a sweet left foot shot under the PG goalie to make it 1-nil.

Prince George countered well but could not find the net and Kelowna took over the game in the second half. Another mistake by the PG goalie created a scoring opportunity for Kelowna forward Jasanna Kunz who fired it in past the keeper and defended well the rest of the way for the 2-0 win and the gold medal.

Public Notice of Open House

KELOWNA UNITED U-12 GIRLS - KRUSHERS

In U-12 pool B action, the Kelowna Krushers came out on top of the division with four straight wins.

In the final against Kamloops, Melaina Corrado scored KU’s first goal at the 11 minute mark. Kamloops tied it up with just two minutes left in the game and the gold medal would be decided in penalty kicks. In the shoot out, KU goalie Taysha Clark shut out Kamloops while Kelowna shooters put three goals in a row past Kamloops as Chloe Howe, Corrado, and Kate Cartier sealed the win.

T’birds fly with Falcons in summer A trio of UBC Thunderbirds will be flying with the Kelowna Falcons this summer.

Right-handed pitcher Alex Graham and Jeremy Newton, and infielder Kevin Biro have signed with the West Coast League baseball club for the 2014 season.

Graham, out of North Vancouver, is in his third season with the T-Birds.

He’s thrown 9.1 innings so far this spring and is 1-0 with a 2.89 ERA. Newton is a Toronto native in his sophomore season and has thrown 56.2 innings this spring.

He’s 2-2 with a 3.49 ERA, striking out 33 in 11 appearances.

Biro is a junior from Deep Bay, B.C., and played for the Parksville Royals of the BCPBL. The third baseman is hitting .350 with 55 hits and 30 RBIs in 157 at bats.

These latest players follow in the footsteps of a number of other Thunderbirds to play for the Falcons in the past: Brad Ashman (2005), Bob Foerster and John Syrnyk (2008), Blake Curruthers (2011), Keaton Briscoe (2011), David Otterman (2011) and Andrew Firth (2011-2012) All three players will be in Kelowna on report date in preparation for the 2014 summer season.

Police fight back against rising occurrence of theft The Kelowna RCMP has recently implemented “CompStat” which is a statistics-driven, intelligence-led policing model that is helping to effectively and efficiently target crime hot spots, emerging crime trends and prolific offenders.

One look at the Kelowna RCMP crime statistics over the last month reveals that residential break-ins, thefts of vehicles and thefts from vehicles are all up significantly so far this year compared to last and this past month has been no exception.

The Kelowna RCMP Crime Analyst Section has been working diligently to provide timely and accurate information to front-line police officers so as to focus their efforts in areas most often targeted.

The results of those efforts are finally starting to be seen as all property crime categories have fallen back down to within the ‘normal’ range over the last week.

“By putting boots on the ground in those areas hardest hit, we have been able to arrest a number of prolific offenders and property crime suspects,” said Kelowna RCMP Supt. Nick Romanchuk.

“This, in turn, has had a direct impact on the volume of crime seen in those areas within the past week.”

There are many examples of how just a few individuals can dramatically influence crime statistics.

On April 14, 2014, two Kelowna men were arrested in connection with a residential break and enter and are believed to be responsible for a number of other break-ins in the Pandosy area.

Since their arrest,

Owned and Operated

break-ins in that area dropped dramatically.

Thefts from vehicles parked in the Myra Canyon parking areas was an issue in 2013 and has started up again early this year.

Police are asking anyone parking in the remote sites to not leave any valuables in your vehicle.

Last year, more than $40,000 in fraud damage was done after credit cards were used from only three thefts from vehicles in that area.

The police need the public’s help to curb this crime trend—remove your valuables and lock your vehicle doors when left unattend ed.

Appreciate the engineering of B.C.’s Interior highways

S

ome things do seem to improve with age, and for this scribe one of them is my deep admiration and thanks for living in such a fabulous part of the world.

I constantly brag to others how fortunate I (we) are to live in not only the Okanagan Valley but the marvellous province of British Columbia.

However, there is truly no better way of fully appreciating the beauty of this massive province until you actually step out of the house and take an adventure.

I had the distinct pleasure of two such treks in the past two months, one journey to Nelson last month, and a quick jaunt to the coast on the Easter weekend.

In both scenarios, I had the pleasure of driving—providing me the opportunity to stop and stretch both my legs and my sightseeing anytime

I chose.

Driving our province’s roads certainly holds its challenges at the best of times due to the topographical challenges and unpredictable weather, especially in early spring.

However, those challenging factors only serve to enhance part of the wonderment that overwhelms me.

I am consistently awestruck at the nearly unfathomable and almost magical engineering skills displayed by those who constructed the highways that connect the Okanagan to both the Kootenays and the Wet Coast.

Neither route is wisely travelled in great haste; however, certainly the Coquihalla is designed for faster speeds.

As Teresa and I meandered through the towering peaks and valleys between here and Vancouver, I constantly found myself shaking my head

in disbelief at the astounding effort and skill it must have demanded of construction crews to create the route.

As we putted along on our journey, I could not help but marvel yet again at the intestinal fortitude and perseverance that was needed by our pioneers and early settlers in B.C. who somehow traversed the staggering and deadly mountain ranges that separate the prairies from the Pacific.

The journey is long and challenging enough on today’s modern pathways, I can’t begin to comprehend the arduous effort it must have taken 150 years ago.

••• The marvellous flora and fauna, and also the skills of engineering work crews, are not the only treasures of B.C. Some of our Western Canadian musicians are pretty amazing as well.

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge It’s been a busy and successful couple of months in the local music scene especially for a couple of characters who are no strangers to HodgePodge columns or readers.

Jim LeGuilloux, Barry Mathers, and Keith Papa Thom have been turning lots of heads latelely. For LeGuilloux and Mathers some of their recent glory has been due to online success.

Earlier this week, Mathers had the pleasure of watching a CD he has produced for the B.C. dual Twin Peaks climb into the top 24 songs vying for a Canadian

Take your best shot!

music talent top prize, the CBC Searchlight National Finals.

The Twin Peaks latest CD qualified as one of the B.C. Regional winners last week. Mathers is hoping music fans will vote it into the top 10 by Monday. More than 4,000 CDs were originally entered in the CBC hosted event so to even make the top 24 is tremendous.

Mathers hopes the interest and support will continue. “They are talented singers and wonderful people so I hope for their sake that they get the full attention they deserve,” Mathers said Thursday morning.

You can help Barry and the girls by going online and voting once a day for the record. Go to http://m.music.cbc.ca/artists/Twin-Peaks and vote.

Voting ends Monday afternoon.

Meanwhile, local rock icon Jimmy LeGuilloux,

whose song Kaisha garnered a lot of attention in a recent online contest, is playing host to another new musical event. He is leading off the first evening of a regular Sunday night jam of Okanagan musicians at the Blue Gator downtown, 441 Lawrence Ave. Starting May 4, the Gator will feature various musical acts from around the valley in an evening of original and cover tunes.

Headlining the first night is talented keyboardist Vytas Sinkevicius, who will be joining the Jimmy LeGuilloux Band on stage.

And long overdue is a double tip of the hat for a superb evening of entertainment and food.

A few weeks back Tez and I finally dragged our sorry selves out of self-proclaimed hibernation (we hate cold weather) and ventured into the world of people and ac-

Pharmasave

tivity.

The motivation for our sudden social outing was much more than just spring’s arrival. The irresistible temptation was enjoying a fabulous meal at the superb Minstrel Cafe while listening to talented Canadian troubadour Keith Papa Thom.

What a great decision on our part.

Thom put on a superb one-man show for the enthusiastic audience, charming the patrons with wonderful singing and guitar work as well as his enjoyable commentaries.

His original songs and comfy folk style of song writing was a perfect blend for the equally cozy Minstrel Cafe.

Full points to Minstrel owner Clare, who not only provides a top notch venue to enjoy quality music, but also provides a tremendous menu selection. A wonderful night all round.

HERITAGE vegetables flourish with sun, mild climate, volcanic soil and high-elevation fields in Imbabura Province, Ecuador.

STEVE HAGGERTY/MCT

Volcanoes and vegetables: Tales from Ecuador Anne Z. Cooke CONTRIBUTOR

OTAVALO, Ecuador—A pint-sized dish of cevichocho, served on the street in Otavalo, sparked one of those ah-hah moments so unexpected it caught me unawares.

By the time we—the three of us—parked near the town’s famous craft market, lunch time had come and gone. Heading down the block we passed a group of teenagers in school uniforms crowded around a food stall, gulping down what looked like fast-food. And whatever it was in those bowls—unidentified juicy bits—it made my mouth water.

“What is this stuff,” I asked Paul Aguilar, our guide, who after four days touring us around Ecuador was now more friend than hired help.

Peering over the counter I looked at the seller in the wrinkled apron and at the bowls of chopped ingredients and for a second, wondered if street food was a good idea. Still, I was curious. And hungry.

“Do you really want to try it?” said Aguilar, raising his eyebrows. A veteran guide, he knew tourists were about street food. And in Ecuador, cevichocho was the street version of a Big Mac. “If you’re sure,” he said doubtfully.

Deftly piling chopped red and yellow tomatoes, toasted popcorn, red onions, white lupine beans and cilantro in the bowl, he filled it full.

Then he sprinkled lime over the mix, doused it with extra juice from the tomatoes and topped it with bits of sliced chicken. And handed it over.

I hesitated, took a bite, and it was.... heavenly! No wonder those kids look so healthy, I said

to myself. They’re snacking on vegetables.

“What did I tell you,” said Steve, my husband, grabbing a photo. “Ecuador isn’t anything like Kansas.”

Ask me about the European “discovery” and settlement of North America and I can quote chapter and verse. But ask about Ecuador’s cultural heritage or colonial history and I’m lost.

To my shame, I know more about Turkey than Ecuador.

Where then, in this country on the Equator, would a traveler find links to the past? Living links, too, not museum exhibits. We started in Quito, the capital—as you will—because this is where most flights arrive. And Quito is old, founded in 1534, just 42 years after Columbus “discovered” America. Perched at 9,000 feet elevation on a hill between the east and west ranges

of the Andes Mountains, it lies at the foot of Guagua Pichincha, 15,820-feet high and one of Ecuador’s 30 active volcanoes.

Twenty years ago, when I was here before, blowing through town on a two-day stopover, the city, tired and dirty, was lingering on life support. Ecuador’s currency, the sucre, was nearly worthless. Since then the patient has recovered.

On March 13, 2002, Ecuador adopted the U.S. dollar, stabilizing the economy. Today the heart of the old city has been scrubbed and painted, its buildings restored or—comically—hidden behind convincing facades.

Abundant lighting illuminates the cobblestone streets at night, trash vanishes in a twink-

Ecuador from A32 ling, and public squares sport benches, grass and flowers. Purse snatching in the old quarter disappeared overnight when the streets were converted to pedestrian traffic only from dusk to dawn. Looking down out of my hotel room after dinner, I could see and hear couples and families walking past.

As for history, we found it in Independence Square, where old men and visitors sit in the sun at the foot of Liberty besting the snarling Spanish lion. It lives in Quito’s monumental, painted, gold-swathed churches and monasteries, where—on the Sunday I was there—the pews were packed and late comers stood in the side aisles under dark paintings of tortured saints.

But Quito was only the beginning. When I first put Ecuador on my wish-list, it was the historic haciendas I wanted to visit. Originally land grants, these vast ranches boast illustrious family pedigrees and long traditions. Surely, I thought, the pioneers who tamed Ecuador’s frontiers faced the same challenges as their North American counterparts—farmers, ranchers and plantation owners—did.

When a friend recommended EQ Touring, a Quito and Miami-based travel outfit specializing in Ecuador, we asked for an individual trip to the haciendas near Quito, traveling on scenic country roads. Curious about Ecuador’s dramatic geography—on the equator but up in the clouds—I wanted to get close to some of those ice-clad volcanoes and 13,000-foot farm fields.

The final itinerary included hacienda reservations, a car and two topnotch guides (Cynthia Cabezas in Quito and Paul Aguilar for the rest of the trip). It also included a visit to Cotopaxi Volcano na-

tional park where you can drive to the end of the road (the climbers start here, at 15,320 feet) for a closeup look at Cotopaxi’s icy, 19,460-foot summit. Our last day was saved for Otavalo.

And were the haciendas historic? Yes, but forward-looking. Both Le Cusin, founded in 1602

by Jesuits, and Hacienda Pinsaqui, founded in 1790 and still owned by the original family, felt and looked like the 18th century white-walled, redtiled-roof colonial compounds typical of Spanish colonies. Surrounded with flowering vines and far from noise and traffic, they’ll send you back to another century.

But Le Cusin’s present owner is an American who restored the buildings and updated guest rooms

and cottages, adding comfort while preserving the colonial feel. The woodpaneled living room and dining hall are reminiscent of a hunting lodge, and since they serve good food, encourage long evenings. The result is a loyal cadre of guests who wintering over annually, settling into spacious rooms with fireplaces and staying busy dining on good meals, riding horses, hiking, sketching, studying Spanish and taking day trips to Otavalo.

Pinsaqui Hacienda, where we stopped for a bowl of locro (cream of potato soup garnished with cheese and avocado slices), is still owned and managed by an 8th generation family member.

Could he be the person whose photo, displayed on the wall, shows him

posing with his horse inside this elegant old mansion? Guests enjoying acres of lawns and spectacular views of Imbabura Volcano may find approaching cars a rude intrusion. But the presence of 30 redecorated familysized suites, fine cuisine and guided horseback riding is the evidence that guests are welcome.

Zuleta Hacienda, originally a Jesuit property, made news in the 20th century when new owners, the Plaza-Lasso family, progenitor of two presidents of Ecuador, turned the 4,000-acre ranch into a working dairy farm and cheese creamery.

As the ranch prospered, the Plazas built out, adding a high-ceilinged

Jesuit hacienda now for tourists Ecuador from A33

VISITORS can rest at Zuleta Hacienda in Imbabura Province, Ecuador.

living room with family bedrooms at one end and a nine guest-room wing at the other. Today the hacienda, surrounded by trees, vast green fields, and a stable full of horses, is an example of the success of modern ranch management. Guests here are enthusiastic horseback riders, hikers and nature lovers.

We spent our last day shopping in Otavalo’s craft market, saving the last 10 minutes for a sprint

through the produce market. Instead we spent an hour marveling at the kinds of vegetables that local farmers can grow at high altitude. And since they sell them locally, they can choose whatever fits their soil, including “heritage” varieties.

My list, hastily jotted down, includes kale, bunches of fresh alfalfa, leafy greens, peas, a half-dozen kinds of beans, red and purple berries, four kinds of citrus, tomatoes, tree tomatoes, tubers, bags of beets, onions,

dried spices, 124 varieties of potatoes and 50-pound sacks of quinoa, alfalfa grain and three kinds of corn.

I thought I knew vegetables. But it was humbling to see how few I’d tasted or could even identify. I did find those white lupine beans, though, the star of my new, fast-food addiction. Take that, McDonalds.

IF YOU GO:

Flights to Quito can run from nine to 20 or more, depending on the

airline, your departure city and the layover. We flew on TACA (a merger of four central American airlines) from Los Angeles to El Salvador, and after a 40 minute layover flew out from the very same gate. Flying through Santiago, Chile, can push the layer to seven hours.

Having a chance to German manufacturer. drive the base car all the way up segment.

This new platform, called MQB, to the Golf R showed just how Zack Spencer enables the engineers to build all good the base car is. The only kinds of new products, be they difference is the sportier seats bigger, smaller, wider or taller. What went into and splashier trim on the more expensive cars, the design of the Golf represents a big step but the overall design is the same from car to forward for Volkswagen as the latest model is car and all exemplify the simple, yet elegant 100kg lighter than the outgoing car but it is approach VW takes with all its interiors. bigger, stiffer and safer than before.

Drive Looks Gone is the old 2.5-litre. 5-cylinder, replaced It could be argued that the new Golf looks too by an all-new 1.8-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder much like the older model but interacting with base engine.

the S3. A smart shopper might want to wait for the R over the S. Verdict This new Golf family is set to take on some very established players in the compact segment.

With a hatchback design, this car has always been a more practical design than sedans like the Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. With superb road manners, advanced engines and German engineering, the starting price looks like a winner. A big reason for this is the Golf is assembled in Mexico and these cars come into Canada without duty, (Thanks NAFTA) so VW added more content and kept the price low. The good news for diesel lovers is that the TDI engine will be available right out of the gate and now represents about 50 percent of Golf sales.

This engine too has been modified to make it as fuel efficient as possible. All told, the Golf is more polished car than much of the competition and offers a trim level and price for all types of buyers, from basic to flat-out performance. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 1.8L turbo with 170hp, 2.0L turbo with 210hp, 2.0L turbo with 300hp and 2.0L diesel.

It seems the Big Four shot their lightning bolts at the preceding Detroit and Los Angeles auto extravaganzas and left it to the import

Nissan did not disappoint with the unveiling of a classy looking crossover in the shape of the all-wheel

The trend in this segment to include huge sunroofs continues here.

The mid-size model first showed up in 2002 and this new model marks the birth of the third-generation. The Nissan-named V-Motion nose and boomerang-shaped taillights ensure it makes an impression on the observer, coming and going, and distinguishes itself from its rivals.

Inside, up to five passengers can expect more of a luxury ride than they might have enjoyed in the outgoing version – heated and cooled front seats will

in 2011 helped prompt Toyota into taking a serious look at upping the ante in the Camry. Other competitors have also risen to the challenge. Now the seventh-generation, newly styled, sharper looking 2015 Sonata raises the bar again with improved ride and handling plus advanced driver assistance and safety equipment.

Unlike the Camry, the Sonata stays with purely four-cylinder engines. Standard is a 2.4-litre power plant and a turbocharged 2.0L four is an option.

The one domestic manufacturer that did show up with something more exciting than the rest was Jeep, which introduced the compact Renegade. It is the iconic brand’s first foray into the small SUV segment.

Its funky looks and fuel efficiency should make it an urban dweller hit but it also boasts best-in-class off-road capability, which may just bring in buyers from the growing outdoor adventure seekers.

Two engine choices: a 2.4-litre Tigershark engine with MultiAir2 paired to the segment’s first nine-speed automatic transmission, or a 1.4-litre MultiAir Turbo engine with six-speed manual transmission.

Prices for all of the above closer to launch when pencils have been sharpened and each figure out how they can undercut competitors! keith.morgan@drivewaybc. ca

the showrooms at the tail end of the year.

Before moving on, the Nissan Sport Sedan Concept should be mentioned as it offers a clue to what the new Maxima might resemble. And boy, is it a looker despite the horrible orange colour of the show car! It too features a panoramic roof stretching almost from the windshield to the rear window. A production model version is expected later in the year, which suggests the L.A. show might benefit from that timetable.

Any new Toyota Camry is an instant hit, especially in North America where it’s been the best selling car for 12 years. Despite that, the Japanese manufacturer launched an all-new 2015 model, just three years after introducing a redesign.

It incorporates design touches now appearing in sibling models, including a deeper grille that more resembles an upmarket Lexus. Interior materials are upgraded and a large central display matches the design trend of its competitors. Two trims are added; a sporty XSE with some luxury touches and a Hybrid SE. Toyota sticks with its 2.5-litre, four-cylinder, and 3.5-litre, six-cylinder engines plus its Hybrid Synergy Drive.

Hyundai would like to put a serious dent in the Toyota Camry success story with its own mid-size sedan – the redesigned Sonata.

It’s likely the introduction of a sharp looking Sonata

Truck tent camping next big thing Camping is fun and most of us have done it at one time or another.

Of course, it can be miserable without a decent tent that is easy to set up and keeps you dry and comfortable.

One of the hottest products on the market today is called “truck tent.” Napier Enterprises developed it and it makes sense for those people that like to go camping, but do not like to sleep on the ground.

The truck tent is exactly as it sounds a tent for your truck. This tent sits in the open bed of your truck with the tent poles (which are like regular tent poles that collapse with a quick pull) designed to fit in the stake

SUV owners should especially like the tents that are designed with them in mind. These tents feature a docking collar that fits around the back of your sport-ute so your vehicle is inside your tent. When you need your vehicle, you just remove the collar and zip it up, $379. For hunters there is a Camo version featuring the Mossy Oak break up design. Just be careful sticking your head out the back in the early morning.

The newest tent to their product line is the Backroadz truck tent. This value priced tent line fits most pickups and sleeps two comfortably. Easy setup utilizing shock-corded fiberglass poles and offers 5’ 5” of head room. It comes with a rain fly and storm flap in the door section to provide privacy and protection. The cost of this model is $199.

The SUV/Minivan tent has a universal sleeve that fits snug around any vehicle with a 9’ x 9’ footprint that can sleep 4-6 people and over 7’ of headroom. There are three large mesh windows providing plenty of ventilation and the bathtub style floor keeps things dry.

Safe on two wheels

Confessions of a Curber I surprised my family with a trip to Hawaii.

They didn’t have a clue how I paid for it. But they thought I was the best dad in the world.

While we were away, I bought a car on eBay. It had over 350,000 km on it. No one will want to buy this piece of junk, I thought.

Unless. I could just lower the mileage on it a little bit. And it won’t hurt anybody, right?

One problem – I had no idea how to change an odometer*. But as it turns out, it’s much easier than I’d expected.

With an odometer tool, I changed the reading to 164,500 km. Still a lot, but less than half the real clicks.

My ad: “Minivan – old but in great condition!

Only 164,500kms - it sat in my garage for the last 5 years. Must sell. If you’re looking for an older, but reliable and safe vehicle, call my cell and we’ll negotiate.”

Looking back, I realized I’d knocked almost 200,000 km off the vehicle. But I shined it up and put some newer used tires on it so they wouldn’t give away its true condition.

Will this get me in trouble? I wondered. I wasn’t doing anything wrong, really – this just gives me a chance to make some more money on the vehicle.

I got a phone call from a young single mom who could only afford an older vehicle. We decided to meet at her son’s school.

As I was showing her the car, I noticed the carpet, the door handles and the pedals kind of gave away its true condition.

Hopefully she’s too naïve to notice, I thought.

Forty minutes later, our exchange was complete. I probably made an extra $2,000 because of the odometer! If I’d only done this to all the other cars I sold!

Suddenly, my mind began processing the implications. That minivan was pretty much at the end of its life. That young mom is expecting the vehicle to last her for a few more years. At best, I see it lasting one more.

Parts will start failing, calling for expensive repairs. I’m certain she doesn’t have the money for that.

All I’m hoping is that it doesn’t break down on the highway. Maybe there was a reason I never did it before. Maybe, just maybe, I had a conscience up until now.

*Odometer: The law allows an odometer to be replaced when broken, but the repair must be recorded and the true mileage needs to be disclosed. CarProof and ICBC vehicle history reports can reveal more about how far a vehicle has really traveled. Even AirCare, where available, can help. And Walt is wrong; altering an odometer is a crime.

“I’d knocked off 200,000 km.

Hopefully, she’s too naïve to notice”

Alexandra Straub gears up for motorcycling.

Like education, the motorcycle gear you wear, whether on the road or trails, is vital to your safety.

Don’t believe me? Just ask someone who, unfortunately, has had a spill.

Here’s an example. A colleague of mine caught gravel around a bend while riding in the States. She hit the guardrail then passed out. She was then airlifted to hospital where she suffered a minor concussion, and a few bruises and scrapes. Even the doctors were amazed how good shape she was in.

It was said to her that her gear likely saved her life.

She was wearing leathers, gloves, protective boots, and a helmet.

Granted, not everyone is as lucky, but you get my point.

Furthermore, for those who have experienced an accident, and have been in proper attire, I’m pretty sure you weren’t thinking. “Gee, I really wish I wore my shorts and flip flops!”

When I ride, I’m in full garb.

Depending on what type of riding I’m taking on that day, I’ll dress appropriately.

I’m an advocate of riding gear. All of it.

Helmet: The government in British Columbia only enforces one piece of safety equipment

lid out there because most of us don’t have thousands of dollars for a carbon fibre helmet.

In fact, I’ll add this too.

Make sure it fits properly.

Local motorcycle shops generally have trained staff in fitting helmets. They’re supposed to fit snugly.

I’ve been told that even the cheapest helmet that fits perfectly will do more for you than an expensive one that’s just not right for you.

You only have one head.

Use it. And protect it.

Jackets: There are a couple of common materials used in jackets: leather and textile.

There are more, but the two listed are quite prominent.

Each have their own benefits. Textile jackets tend to be more breathable, while leather has been said to be

better protection. You can argue each case.

Some jackets come with armor (added protection in the back, elbows, and shoulders.) Some don’t.

I suggest armor only because it protects you that much more. However, there are accessories you can purchase if your jacket you choose doesn’t come with it built in.

Pants: Leather, textile and Kevlar jeans are common riding pants. Kevlar jeans are getting better and better as more research and development is conducted. I say, if you’re going for the “cool” look, spend a little more for the added protection.

Boots: Not everyone will want heavily reinforced boots.

That’s fine. But if you’re going to ride, get leather footwear that at least covers your anklebone.

Speaking of which, have you ever hit your anklebone on a table leg? Hurts, doesn’t it. Now imagine a 220-kilo machine falling on it. Think safety.

What’s great about the industry now, is the availability to cool riding shoes that have reinforced heels and ankle protection. You can

look good and be protected.

Bonus.

Gloves: There are a few styles of gloves. There are ones that cover just your hands/ fingers and ones called gauntlet gloves that cover past your wrists. Some gloves also have reinforced points with carbon fibre to prevent further damage.

Like with a helmet, and the rest of your gear, get gloves that fit you, like, a glove!

Too much room can cause blisters. Too little room cuts off circulation.

Off-Road: If you’re an adventure-touring rider – or would like to be – textile is the way to

go. This material is much better for the changing weather you’ll encounter on the road less travelled. It’s breathable and generally has a few layers. So you can take off or put them on when needed.

Dirt Biking: Just because you fall in dirt doesn’t mean it can’t hurt! Wearing elbow and kneepads are recommended. A lot of dirt riders will also add a chest protector/ breastplate, gloves, boots and goggles. Along with their helmet, of course.

Accessories: If you want added piece of mind, that’s available, too.

shOwCAsE ▼ INTERIOR DESIGN

Gathering decor insights from hotel room experiences How many times have you checked into a hotel and been impressed by the decor?

Hotels spend millions of dollars to get that perfect look and feel—one that can appeal to travellers with various design aesthetics.

So, if you’re looking to reinvigorate your home with a fresh new look, your favourite hotel can be one of the best sources of inspiration.

The hotel experts at Choice Hotels Canada want to help you get that stylish look with five tips to bring the hotel to your home.

Paint the walls: Revive your walls with a fresh coat of paint, but keep it neutral and uncomplicated.

If you need colour, consider an accent wall in

CONTRIBUTED

THE DESIGN choices made to decorate a hotel room can often provide inspiration for design decisions in your own home. a slightly deeper tone or a wall vinyl with a modern nature-inspired pattern.

Simplify the furniture: Ditch the bulky, patterned

or outdated pieces in exchange for furniture with clean lines and solid colours.

But don’t worry; you

can keep personality with fun accessories, like pillows with funky designs or unique textures.

Brighten the bath-

room: A large mirror for the bathroom is a staple in many upscale hotels and it also offers better light.

Another quick and easy upgrade are new plush towels—in white, of course.

Unclutter: Get rid of things you don’t need such as the miniature horse collection on your fireplace or the 25 frames dominating your bookshelf.

Instead decide on a few key things to display and put the rest in storage.

Find your inner Zen: Have you noticed when you check into a hotel room, you often feel a sense of calm?

It could be exhaustion from travelling, but hotels are also designed to provide comfort to their guests.

Asian-inspired décor pieces can encour-

▼ OF PRIME INTEREST

Make your mortgage financially work for you A mortgage can be a goldmine of savings or that pot of gold to help financially tackle a dream renovation or landscaping project.

It’s a powerful financial tool, one that can and should work for your own interests.

Talking with a mortgage broker is a good first step.

While a good investment advisor can earn you thousands of dollars, a good mortgage broker can save you thousands by finding the best combination of mortgage features and rates to suit your situation.

With mortgage in hand, flush out your financial goals: Are

you looking for a way to reduce monthly payments? Save on your mortgage interest over the long term? Pay down the mortgage sooner? Finance a special project or buying a second home for your child at university?

Thousands of Canadians have been taking a look at their fixed rate-rate mortgages in recent months.

Why? While mortgage brokers don’t have an economic crystal ball, it seems clear the odds of an upward trend occurring with mortgage rates is pretty good.

Following that line of thinking, right now is a historic opportunity to get your mortgage to

better serve your interests.

Even if your mortgage is not up for renewal anytime soon, it’s still worth a review to see if you can renegotiate for a better rate.

Don’t assume because your mortgage is locked in at a fixed rate, adjustments can’t be made.

A mortgage broker can access rates from a wide variety of lending institutions and provide professional analysis of your options.

A drop of a few points can save you thousands of dollars over the life of your mortgage.

Is the end of your mortgage in sight? Then good for you! Either take a watch and wait approach or consider a blend and extend to

combine your old rate with current rates to help you take advantage of the low current rate opportunity.

The current low rates are a boon to spenders as well as savers.

Mortgage rates are typically far lower than other types of loans or lines of credit, so put your equity to work at rates that you couldn’t have dreamed of 10 years ago on that dream renovation or landscaping project.

Of Prime Interest is submitted by mortgage brokers Trish Balaberde, 250-470-8324; Christine Hawkins, 250-826-2001; and Kristin Rosdal, 250-878-3007.

age set a spa-like feel in the space and a lavender candle or two won’t hurt either. So turf the designer and do it yourself.

With just five easy steps, you can give your personal space the hotel look you love—but without the nightly rate.

Have a say about how to keep our air clean There’s something fresh in the wind today as regional partners make plans to develop a 2014 Clean Air Strategy with residents’ input.

While the vision statement is clear—have clean and healthy air for current and future generations—implementing that vision is hard work.

From not to May 6, the region is looking for input on how residents want to see the government take action to protect air quality.

Residents are being asked to share their ideas, comments and interact online.

“This work builds on the existing regional air quality program and will help protect and improve our region’s air through policy and actions, community awareness initiatives and pollution prevention programs,” said Jerry Dombowsky, regional programs manager for regional services.

The idea is to build on existing active transportation efforts to encourage walking, biking and using transit to reduce vehicle use and solo car trips.

That encouragement extends to support for green buildings and green industry initiatives, all toward the project’s focus on the big picture: What can we do to reduce air pollutants and greenhouse gases to improve air quality for everyone?

Overall, the Clean Air Strategy has three goals— protect the health of citizens and the environment, keep our views clear of smog, and minimize our impact on climate change.

Local governments working toward a plan include the Regional District of Central Okanagan, District of Peachland, City of Kelowna, District of Lake Country, Westbank First Nation and the District of West Kelowna.

Visit kelowna.ca/airquality to find out more about our region’s air quality, comment on our plans to keep our air clean, make suggestions, do your part, and winprizes.

A final plan will be shared with the public in the fall.
