With survivors who helped secure the shoreline dwindling— the villages of Courseulles-sur-Mer, Bernièressur-Mer and Saint Aubinsur-Mer—the opportunity to grasp what it all means, to look into the eyes of those who actually made the sacrifice so often spoken of, is slipping away.

When Canada took its place among Allied Forces and stormed Juno Beach on June 6, 1944, an unlikely soldier was in the mix.

Kelowna resident Tom Morimoto, now 95, was a radio operator with the Third Canadian Division, and in the middle of the now legendary assault.

He had squeaked into Canada’s Armed Forces years earlier at two inches too small, nearly 20 pounds too light and entirely of Japanese descent.

“I was the only Japanese Canadian there,” said Morimoto, in a Capital News article written about him in 2012.

His unique position among the thousands of Canadians taking part in D-Day wasn’t completely unforeseeable.

Recruitment officials back home were content to look the other way when it came to his socalled shortcomings because they were so in need of able-bodied men.

As for his ethnicity, Morimoto had enlisted in 1940, before the Japanese became allies with Germany, and Japanese-Canadians were funnelled into

n June 6, 1944, as one can imagine people in the Okanagan waking to a beautiful late spring morning, apples and cherries ripening, the lake getting warmer, thunder having rolled through the hills the evening before, thousands of young Canadians were dying on a beach in France.

With three tags on their bodies to serve as markers for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, they stormed a coastline thick with land mines and barbed wire, machine gun nests and anti-tank walls.

The stretch from Denmark to the south of France was known as Fortress Europe and more than 450 Canadians parachuted into the abyss, hours before the rest of the Canadian troops rolled up on the shores of Juno Beach, 14,000 of them, earning D-Day a sombre place in this country’s history.

By August, those young soldiers who survived, barely adults and largely inexperienced at battle, would liberate Paris en route to the Allied Forces eventual victory, the staggering death toll of the D-Day bloodbath still a heavy weight in their hearts.

“It was the last good war. We had to fight that one against the Nazis and then the Japanese.”

That patriotism informed his view on many decisions, and took him on a lifetime of tremendous adventures.

First, however, it took him away from his home in Fort McMurray, across the country for training and to England for a tour of duty.

over four years.

The sea-borne invasion required 155,000 soldiers, 5,000 ships and landing craft, 50,000 vehicles and 11,000 planes.

Around 14,000 Canadian soldiers were to land on the beaches, while another 450 were to drop behind enemy lines by parachute or glider.

The Royal Canadian Navy supplied ships and around 10,000 sailors, while the Royal Canadian Air Force supported the invasion.

“When dawn broke on June 6, it revealed an unforgettable sight—thousands of ships, seeming to reach forever across the sea, with the barrage balloons hoisted to keep off low flying enemy aircraft,” he wrote in his memoir, Breaking Trail.

“It was with a mixture of excitement and fear that I approached the beach on D-Day. I think what keeps every soldier going is that he doesn’t think he’ll be hit—it’s the other unfortunate guy who is going to get it.”

His boat arrived on the beach’s shores an hour after the first wave of soldiers landed and, without much strife, they set up camp near what’s now the Canadian cemetery BenySur-Mer and stayed there for months.

Morimoto survived near starvation, non-stop fire and being outclassed in terms of equipment over the course of the long campaign. They even survived communication shortcomings that led to friendly fire.

“Because of poor liaison between the Air Force and the Army over the significance of yellow smoke signals, bombs were dropped on our troops,” he wrote.

“It was the first time I had ever been so close to a Lancaster bomber that I could see the bomb bay doors open and the bombs dropping. This was near

Falaise, and I remember seeing men on bicycles pedalling as hard as they could down the road, back to Caen.”

His divisional commander Major General Rodney Keller, who also has a Kelowna connection, was felled by the American bombs, and many others died near the sandy stretch where they had landed just months earlier.

At the end of the twoand-a-half month Normandy campaign, Allied killed, wounded or captured totalled 210,000.

Canadian casualties added up to more than 18,000, including more than 5,000 dead. German casualties were 450,000.

About 5,400 Canadians are buried in Normandy.

Morimoto went on to have a successful life that saw him help shape Canada’s oil and gas industry, monetize an under-utilized part of Dubai’s oil and gas before eventually making Kelowna home.

In the introduction of his memoir, it’s noted that he’s been an active player in many of Western Canada’s pivotal historic moments. But, Normandy and the lives lost there still weigh on him.

In recent years, he’s taken his two granddaughters to the area, and walked through the rows and rows of tombstones that mark the lives of his fallen comrades.

It’s something his granddaughter Ariel said she was taken aback by, noting that there were so many men who were “18, 19, 20, who never had the chance to start their lives.”

It’s something even survivors have chosen to reframe in their minds as time has gone on. “You can’t keep the memories of being afraid, or the bad dreams,” he said. kmichaels @kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna family travels to France to pay respects to the fallen Sacrifice from A3 untarily move toward danger. By 1978, he was named Soldier of the Year. Remembrance Day was taken seriously in the house.

The Cashins lived in Germany twice before the wall fell. It’s where Todd was born and spent a good chunk of his childhood, and his mother, a registered nurse, found work in the military hospital.

John climbed the ranks. He travelled around Europe playing hockey and participated in the Four Days Marches Nijmegen, once walking the

40-kilometres each day with fellow soldiers past the graves of those who fought in WWII, and once serving as quartermaster for the Canadian troops.

Recognizing the efforts of Canadian military men and women was part of the family’s fabric, making a trip back to Europe for D-Day, or a battle anniversary, was a plan of which they spoke often.

“The 70th anniversary is probably going to be the last anniversary or the last big ceremony of any substantial size…In Canada, you’re down to the hundreds in terms of survivors.

“It was forced on me

at an early age, but I truly do respect Remembrance Day and what it means to remember and I want to instill that in my kids and teach them about Canadian history,” said Todd.

Every family vacation he takes, Todd says he and his wife try to work in a bit of learning.

The comment precedes an eye roll from his son. William is looking forward to the castles on their father-son-grandfather trip to Europe. He fully admits he doesn’t know what to expect in Normandy. It’s hard for him to picture.

While the Veterans Affairs website has detailed

itineraries, travel packages with small pockets of money available to veterans, and enough reading material to make one go blind, making it all seem real or important for a 14-year-old is difficult, even one raised to understand the importance.

Speaking honestly, William says he believes he is supposed to remember the wars. For his generation, it’s largely dependant on how you were raised whether you recognize why it’s so critical.

His father and grandfather are hoping a frontrow seat to this week’s events sheds a little light on what 5,400 dead

countrymen, lives lost all at once, soldiers just a few years older than him, means. They’re hoping the trip ensures he too

B.C.’s new Seniors’ Advocate came to Kelowna Thursday to hear directly from local seniors what’s on their minds.

And Isobel Mackenzie said the message here is similar to elsewhere in the province.

“There are some general themes,” said Mackenzie following a 90-minute presentation and question and answer session with about 35 people—some seniors and some who work with seniors.

Independence, housing and services were talked about here as they have been in other communities the new seniors’ advocate has visited in her first few months on the job.

But she noted that just like in the rest of the population, not all seniors are

Isobel Mackenzie the same, they don’t all want to same things or the same lifestyles and because B.C. is such a diverse province, services and amenities for them are different and the ability to provide those service is different.

But that is not stopping her from traveling around B.C. talking to seniors to find out what their specific needs are and what issues they feel need to be addressed as she plots out a plan for her newly formed office.

In Kelowna, after speaking about both her role and seniors’ issues generally, Mackenzie heard concerns ranging from crooked financial advisors targeting seniors, concerns of gay seniors entering residential care, the condition of city sidewalks in both the winter and summer, problems with local transit and even Canada’s Post’s recent decision to end door-to-door postal service in Canada.

But Mackenzie declined to be pulled into the last issue despite being pressed to take a position several times by a mail carrier who attended the meeting.

The postie said the decision will impact seniors in several ways, including forcing them to walk to community mail boxes, being at a greater risk of identity theft because of community mailbox break-ins and even the loss of mail carriers checking in on elderly residents on a regular basis.

But Mackenzie said one of her pushes is for seniors to get out more so they are not isolated so she could not advocate against something that could help facilitate that.

As for mail security, she noted she gets direct

mail delivery where she lives in Victoria and it is less safe in her unlocked mail box at her door than it would be in a locked community mail box.

Following the meeting, she said in her visits to communities in northern B.C. and on the Lower Mainland so far, seniors have had no problem speaking out about what they want.

And she welcomed that.

She said as her job requires her to advocate on their behalf so it is important she know what is on their minds.

She said in many cases steps can be taken to make life easier for seniors if the people making policy look at how seniors would be impacted.

She gave the examples of looking at the distance between bus stops and how residential buildings are constructed.

Like B.C.’s child and family advocate, the new seniors’ advocate will have no legislative power to force provincial, federal or municipal governments to make changes.

But Mackenzie said the real power will lie in the fact her reports will be presented publicly just like her child and family counterpart.

Senior killed in collision Highway traffic was rerouted Wednesday for four hours around a fatal accident south of Vernon.

Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP said a southbound Subaru appeared to veer left into oncoming traffic on Highway 97 near Birnie Road at around 2:30 p.m. and struck a northbound pickup truck head-on.

“The driver of the Subaru, a 64-year-old man from Lake Country, died at the scene,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.

Two Vernon men were in the truck. The 26-yearold driver was treated for his injuries in hospital and released. The 24-year-old passenger remains in hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Traffic was detoured around the scene via Commonage and Bailey Roads in Lake Country until the highway re-opened at 6:15 p.m.

Police and the coroners service continue to investigate the accident. No names of those involved had been released at press deadline.

District contesting fired assistant chief’s lawsuit Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

The District of West Kelowna is flatly denying the former assistant fire chief was dismissed without reasonable notice or owed any financial compensation, in court documents filed this week.

Kerry Klonteig filed the civil claim against the district last month, asking for more than $150,000 in damages following what he deemed to be a hasty dismissal.

The gist of his legal argument is that he was let go with little notice for “an administrative driving prohibition,” and it’s caused him significant hardship.

“Based on his qualifications, experience, age and the difficulty he will encounter in finding similar and alternate or alternative employment, a notice period of 18 months is appropriate,” writes his lawyer, Terry McCaffrey, in a notice of claim.

“Since he was terminated by the district, Mr. Klonteig has sought other reasonably comparable

positions without success.

Mr. Klonteig therefore claims his job search expense and any relocation expenses he may incur as special damages.

“The plaintiff will prove his statement of special damages in advance of the trial.”

District representatives declined an offer to comment on the case at that time, but filed a response to the civil claim in B.C. Supreme Court on Wednesday.

“The plaintiff (Klonteig) held a position of leadership and authority with the district in a role devoted to the protection of public safety. By driving a district fire department vehicle while having a blood alcohol level that resulted in a 90-day suspension of his driver’s licence and a district fire department vehicle being impounded, the plaintiff posed a significant threat to his own safety and that of others

and exposed the district to liability,” reads the document, signed by lawyer Carolyn M. MacEachern.

“The district was entitled to terminate the plaintiff’s employment for just cause and, therefore, the plaintiff is not entitled to notice or payment in lieu thereof.”

They add further light to the nature of Klonteig’s dismissal throughout the document.

“On or about Oct. 6 2013, the plaintiff, while

off duty, drove the fire chief’s truck, a district fire department vehicle, to a restaurant and a casino where he consumed alcohol,” the document reads.

“After leaving the casino late at night, the plaintiff was pulled over by the RCMP at approximately 1:30 a.m. and was required to provide a breath or blood sample to measure his blood alcohol level, which the plaintiff advised the district he had failed.”

It’s alleged the sample taken read above .08 and the Mounties immediately seized Klonteig’s driver’s licence and suspended his driving privileges for 90 days. They also impounded the district vehicle.

“District practice, of which the plaintiff was aware, prohibits the personal use of district fire department vehicles in these types of circumstances,” the district’s civil claim response states.

The Kelowna Fire department False alarm Fees

The Kelowna Fire Department will be introducing a fee for any False Alarms that occur within the City of Kelowna’s fire protection area for all fire alarmed monitored properties. Under the updated Fire & Life Safety Bylaw No. 10760, as of July 1, 2014 a $150 fee will be charged for a 2nd false alarm occurrence and a $250 fee will be charged for a 3rd and any subsequent false alarm occurrences within the current calendar year.

A warning will be given for the 1st false alarm occurrence. The Kelowna Fire Department will also be charging a $200 fee for any Contact Person/Property Representative that fails to attend an incident within the designated time.

These fees will help to cover administration and resource costs when having to send fire department resources to chronic false alarms.

The Fire & Life Safety Bylaw No. 10760 establishes requirements for public safety, including managing permits and fees for services such as fire inspections, fireworks, underground fuel tank removals or false alarms. False Alarm invoices will be issued from Fire Station No. 1 on Enterprise Way to the offending fire alarmed monitored property.

The fee is expected to be paid within normal City of Kelowna payment terms.

Kids lose out when they are a union tactic

To the editor: Today my son came home crying. After years in elementary school he was finally going to be able to take part in a Grade 6 tradition of a threeday camp at Silver Lake, but it got cancelled and if I wasn’t mad before now I’m really angry.

I’m a mother who is sick and tired of the uncertainty of whether my kids are going to school or not that day and what programs are they going to miss out on now. My husband and I have never been fans of the poor education system this province offers and often considered private school but can’t afford it.

I won’t go into that rant, that’s a whole other email.

Can we please start showing our children that adults can actually work out our differences and move on? Right now all that is being taught to our children is resentment, anger, frustration and disappointment. It would be nice to see that both sides can stop acting like children and show proper negotiation skills (this means both sides need to give

letter of the week

See Teachers A9

Public education the backbone of a strong society

L

ike many, I couldn’t care less if teachers get a wage increase.

Their pay grid indicates the vast majority make a fair living in a time when so few B.C. families can make ends meet.

A quick review of the same grid also taught me that only a small proportion of teachers have more education than any one of my news industry colleagues, who make significantly less money. And most of my people only get to lodge their wage complaints into the depths of their beer glasses.

Of course we’re reporters, which is akin to being a neurotic and spiritually-bereft monk, who has taken a vow of poverty. Evidence can be found on

KATHARTIC

Kathy Michaels

our bookcases and in our wardrobes, if necessary.

But it’s not.

What’s really important should have nothing to do with wages, which is where this conversation so often gets tangled.

It has to do with the quality of education being offered to B.C. chil-

dren.

It’s what the idealist within believes the vast majority of teachers are prioritizing when they drag students through another round of prolonged labour strife.

On the picket line last week there was definitely talk about wages. Details about how classes are overrun and supports are thinly dispersed, were also shared.

But it was Susan Bauhart, the presi-

dent of the Central Okanagan Teachers’ Association, who said something that resonated.

She spoke about how students with special learning needs are being left behind as resources become sparse. She explained how her own child got a fair shake at dealing with his educational challenges because he went through the system long before the cuts caused B.C. public schools to bleed out. He wouldn’t have, she said, if he started school today.

Then, when I asked her why anyone would bother putting their child in public school if it’s really that bad, she offered thunderous words of support to her peers.

Ensuring there is a strong public school system for everyone, regardless of where they stand on the socio-economic ladder is the heart of this current battle, she said.

It’s why teachers spend their extra time and money making learning accessible to their students.

For now, she said, B.C.’s public schools will trundle along. But the writing is on the wall that it’s going to buckle unless it’s properly funded. And that means we’ll see the rise of a have/ have-not system.

Access to a strong public education is the backbone of Canada. Going forward, as everything else gets harder, it will hold the key to transforming, empowering and improving society. So, when the conversation turns to issues like class size, composition, supports for teachers, we need to remember it’s really about creating a fundamentally sound community for all.

It’s the type of thing we should all be demanding from our politicians— even those of us who are brooding and poorly dressed.

LETTERS

Awakening with Gurpreet

Salary demands unreasonable in B.C. economy To the editor: I sympathize with the B.C. teachers in their desire for better pay and working conditions.

However, I see a provincial government that is still suffering from hard economic times with constant budget deficits. This appears to be the case at least for the near future and has resulted in school boards having to reduce staff which is their main budget expenditure.

The economy is predicted to have slow growth for the coming decade, so government expenditure will reflect accordingly and departments will have to adapt unless the B.C. taxpayers rise up and demand to pay more taxes (which will never be the case).

For the teachers’ union to demand a 13.7

per cent pay increase is ludicrous in today’s times.

With the fiscal situation in mind, class size is unlikely to get any smaller than it is now. It is obvious that the teachers fraternity and the Ministry of Education will have to look at alternatives in the delivery of instruction to deal with the real world it exists in.

In the Capital News, [May 22, page A13] I noted a chart of the salary scales for teachers in the province and their various levels of advancement and they didn’t seem unreasonable in today’s world. In the private sector, salaries are usually a measurement of the achievements in the pursuit of objectives and level of success by the staff on achieving these objectives.

In the case of edu-

cating, this would measure the level of success in meeting the set of standards by each student or class would determine the teacher’s overall assessment. Those classes meeting the standard or surpassing it should be rewarded accordingly and those not meeting should be looked at closely.

Accountability is the watchword today. We want our students to be our future leaders as well as being able to cope in a fast changing economic world. Universities have been commenting for years that many students entering university do not have the necessary language or math skills to cope at that level.

This may seem petty but I take issue at the timing of the strike call. Why not strike just before

Christmas? At this late part of the school year, the students are looking forward to being promoted to the next level and the seniors are looking forward to post secondary education. For their exams to be unmarked could deny them entry to university or college.

The teachers have had the advantage of the mandatory holidays, i.e. two months summer break, Christmas break, March break, Easter, etc., plus all the professional development days. Professional development days always seem to occur on a Friday before a long weekend, and I wonder how many teachers spend the Friday being “professionally developed” when attendance for professional events isn’t even mandatory.

Teaching is a difficult profession and accordingly the same applies to plumbers and electricians and other trades.

Teachers only work some nine months of the year, the trades must work 12 months a year. I assume teachers’ salaries are based on the nine month work year. Plumbers and electricians and other trades are required to undergo extensive educational training as well as years of apprenticeship.

To compare B.C. teachers’ salaries against those in Ontario is a non-starter. One just has to look at the fiscal situation in Ontario to see were widespread spending has put that province.

Edward Gaillard, Kelowna

Kids lose education and we all pay more taxes To the editor: This may seem like a bit of an ignorant comment because I’m not fully informed on their [teachers’] demands but it seems kind of childish. Either we get what we want or no one gets anything!

What does this mean for kids that are about to take provincials and graduate?

Will this last until the next school term?

As a parent this upsets me immensely. I have a great deal of respect for teachers and support them 100 per cent but this has a larger scale impact.

If the current contract the union is de-

manding will end up costing taxpayers $1,100, then ask us what we want. I vote to let these kids get through the school year without any interruptions and then talk negotiations.

of Grade 6—yeah.

Try explaining to my 12 year old camp is cancelled—sold boxes of chocolates to go—Oh yeah.

Try explain to my 12 year old that Grade 6 grad is possibly cancelled due to strike— yeah.

Teachers could not wait for summer break. Such a shame kids lose out the last few weeks of school if they do strike.

But I’m not surprised as I got a letter saying it cost about $8,000 a year in tuition per kid. What happen to free education?

Shouldn’t policy makers know their subject?

To the editor: B.C Education Minister Fassbender and co. ought to stop wasting taxpayers’ dollars appealing court decisions (already 9pointing out he hasn’t been bargaining in good faith with teachers) and

y

put that money towards a properly bargained agreement with them instead.

When ‘the people’ must continue to go to the courts to achieve good governance, then perhaps it’s time to get a new government, eh?!

Just as those making policy decisions in the health ministry ought to have some medical background, shouldn’t those administering education know something about teaching before being given responsibility for its

B.C. education of poor quality Teachers from A8 and take) and come to a quick solution.

Teachers, if you want kids and parents on your side, striking and withholding programs isn’t going to do it.

Ms. Clark, do we really want to compromise on the future of our children?

If we want the future to be bright for these kids we need to educate them properly in order to make sure they can sustain a future. As it is, our universities are full of immigrants that get in our schools be-

cause their elementary and secondary schools have prepared them—our students seem to struggle to get in because they don’t have high enough education. What does this tell you?

It is not only the special needs children that need attention, what about those children that are gifted or highly advanced? They get ignored, are unchallenged, and are not expected to live up to a standard they can meet, therefore they are bored.

The classrooms are too big. I should know,

I have a child in Grade 6 that is in a class of 28. He is one of the highly advanced, not being challenged at all and is in a class that has children that make every day a battle for his teacher. So what happens? She spends most of her time disciplining these kids instead of doing what she loves— teaching.

Let’s wake up and start doing what’s really best for our children because right now it’s just a bunch of words.

governance?

Lastly, since research indicates reduced class sizes is related to reduced delinquency among students, then it follows that maintaining reduced class sizes would control bullying.

So, given B.C Premier Christy Clark’s penchant for the anti-bullying ‘Pink

Shirt’ campaign, then perhaps there’ll be support for public school teachers’ repeated calls for control over classroom size after all. You know, the kind of discretion educators at private schools enjoy, unhindered by government policy wonks.

This is the second year Central Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs have offered the program, in partnership with Kal Tire.

“Because of the shortage of workers in skilled trades (expected) in the next few years, this is kind of (a) way to get the ball rolling with the younger generations,” said Jen Carter, representing Central Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs.

Although most of those who received training through Skilled4Success this week won’t end up working at Kal Tire, the skills learned may be transferable to other jobs and useful in everyday life.

“Particularly with

Cam Currie, manager of Kal Tire on Elk Road in West Kelowna, provided Jackson, Hill and McCallum with instruction before letting them tackle hands-on maintenance, such as checking

the brakes. Afterward, he gave them tips regarding how they should go about applying for a job, and what time of year Kal Tire is most in need of employees.

“The busiest season for us is obviously winter,” said Currie.

“October and November for us…is incredibly busy. April and May, the opposite, changing from winter to summer (tires).

“So because of that, we have to inflate our teams substantially.”

Busy summer for downtown Kelowna shelter ‘concerning’

It’s a full house at Kelowna’s Gospel Mission.

Contrary to popular belief, the shelter, located downtown on Leon Avenue, is busiest in the summer.

And, according to Gospel Mission officials, The Ultimate

it appears this summer will be even busier than usual based on the first few days in June.

“Already, five days into June and Kelowna’s Gospel Mission is over our 90 bed capacity, and meals have risen dramat-

ically in the three weeks,” said the Mission in a news release issued Thursday morning.

While part of the facility’s mission is to provide assistance to all, and Gospel Mission officials say they will not deviate

from that, they are making what they call “strategic” plans to deal with what is already a record-breaking start to summer.

“It’s only the beginning of June, and we are at capacity and have had to put mats down to serve

the overflow,” said director of development James Gleghorn. “The higher numbers are concerning, but we will make sure that everyone who needs assistance will receive it.

The support of the community is, and always has

been, strong.”

Due to its location between major centres Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver, Kelowna attracts workers keen for employment, including fruit pickers.

In the orchards, the first crops are still weeks away and when those seasonal workers arrive the Mission says it expects to see another huge influx of

Feedback: Sarah, a Coach found out that inspiration and support can work both ways on the physical activity journey. She said, “when I decided to become an Active Choices Coach, I thought I’d be spending my time motivating someone else to get more active. I didn’t realize that being a Coach would motivate me to reach my activity/fitness goals too.

Country music superstar Brad Paisley will make a stop in Kelowna as part of is 2014 North America 40-city tour on Saturday, Oct. 4, at Prospera Place.

Tickets go on sale today (Friday) at 10 a.m.

He is also a proud member of the Grand Ole Opry, having been inducted in 2001.

Since his first #1 single in 1999, Paisley has placed 22 singles at the top of the charts.

For tickets, go online to vwww.selectyourtickets.com, charge by phone 250-762-5050 or visit the Prospera Place Box Office.

items to be auctioned off include a “Rock Legend Guitar” signed by rock members of Asia, KISS, Survivor and Quiet Riot; a skateboard helmet signed

by Tony Hawk; “Shine on with Sarah,” the ultimate date night that in-

cludes dinner at Waterfront Wines, two tickets to the Sarah McLachlin concert in Kelowna and an overnight stay at the Delta Grand; “Hit the High Note with you Honey,” a date night includes a limo from Kelowna Limo, bouquet of roses from Mission Park Flowers, dinner at Ric’s Grill and two tickets to the Okanagan Symphony; and original art from Kelowna artist Angela Bonten.

The event takes place at Auction World, 3953 Highway 97 North in Kelowna, owned by Abe Kroeker.

Kroeker and his wife Gail have a special place in their hearts for BrainTrust Canada based on their own life experience.

The couple received a phone call that is every parent’s nightmare—at the age of 17 after a night

THIS GUITAR autographed by a number of rock’n roll legends is one of the items up for auction at a BrainTrust fundraiser taking place Saturday at Auction World in Kelowna.

Entertainment IN THE LOOP out with friends, their son Troy was travelling at a high speed and lost control of his vehicle.

He was ejected from his vehicle, and in an instant his life was changed forever.

He broke his back, jaw, punctured his lung and sustained multiple life threatening injuries, the most serious of which was a brain injury.

After being in a coma for several months, he endured years of physical therapy to relearn his basic life skills such as walking, talking and eating.

However, his permanent impairment is the brain injury. As most of his challenges now are cognitive in nature, they are difficult for others to understand as they are “invisible” to the outside.

Like most parents, the Kroekers believed this experience would never happen to them, and today they now hope the auction to support BrainTrust Canada will bring awareness to the issue of brain injury and the importance of safety prevention.

Starting in 2008, Peters was one of the first stand-up comedians to self-finance, self-produce and distribute his own comedy specials and DVDs, with Red, White and Brown and 2011’s, The Green Card Tour LIVE from the O2 Arena.

The DVDs went on to sell over 350,000 units across North America.

His last special, Notorious was the first original comedy special for Netflix.

Notorious was also supported by a four-part documentary series, Russell Peters Vs The World.

Peters currently has over seven hours of content on Netflix.

Peters has given away more than a million dollars over the past several years to various charities, from the Brampton Civic Hospital, to Heart House Hospice, Gilda’s Club, the MS Society and a scholarship at his old high-school, The Russell Peters North Peel Scholarship to send a deserving student to college. The scholarship is now in its fifth year.

COMEDY SHOW

SHAKESPEARE

Comedian Russell Peters will bring his Almost Famous World Tour show to Kelowna for one night at Prospera Place on Wednesday, Sept. 24, 8 p.m.

Tickets for the show go on sale Monday, June

With a view to creating a summer home for Shakespeare, Okanagan Villa Estate Winery and Shakespeare Kelowna have announced the 2014 Season of Shakespeare at The Villa.

Featured this summer

will be Shakespeare’s romantic comedy, “Much Ado About Nothing,” July 16 to 20 and July 23 to 27 at the winery’s open-air stage.

This will mark the third season of Shakespeare at The Villa, a collaborative initiative driven

by Shakespeare Kelowna’s director Stephen Jefferys and Okanagan Villa winery proprietors Wyn and Marion Lewis.

“Bringing Shakespeare to life at The Villa is a special experience for everyone involved, both the actors and audience alike,” said Jefferys.

“Wyn and Marion are the consummate hosts and the old world, Mediterranean architecture of The Villa, set against a backdrop of lush gardens and vineyards is the ultimate setting for outdoor theatre. We’re excited to perform ‘Much Ado About Nothing,’ a fun romantic comedy which appeals to audiences of all ages.”

“Okanagan Villa is so much more than an estate winery,” added Wyn Lewis. “The Villa is a beautiful place that we are very fortunate to call home and we delight in sharing this and our very vibrant wines, with those who visit.

“Marion and I love the arts and have since our university days at Cambridge. Art, music and wine are very close to our hearts and this resonates in the entire experience at The Villa and The Vibrant Vine. It gives us tremendous pleasure to host Shakespeare Kelowna. It’s also quite a bit of fun too!”

Shakespeare at The Villa’s 2014 Season also welcomes four new like-minded partners who value the importance of arts and culture in the community— The Ke-

lowna Chamber of Commerce, Castanet, Kelowna Flightcraft and Q103.

Tickets for Shakespeare Kelowna’s Shakespeare at The Villa are available at www.selectyourtickets.com. Tickets will also be available at the door on the performance nights, 7 p.m., at Okanagan Villa Estate Winery, 3240 Pooley Rd,

Upshaw, who will be joined by pianist Gilbert Kalish, is a five-time Grammy winner and has given nearly 300 New York Metropolitan Opera performances.

NEWS ▼ STRIDETOTURNTHETIDE

Charity walk started to support grandmothers in Africa As a grandmother herself, former Kelowna mayor Sharon Shepherd understands the importance that role can play in a family.

And in a place like Africa which has seen a generation of parents lost to civil war, poverty and the AIDS pandemic, Shepherd realizes the role grandmothers now have to raise their grandchildren.

“In Africa, the grandmother has become the primary caretaker for the children because the parents are gone,” Shepherd said.

“And they are being called upon to do that with often very little tools or resources that raising a family needs.”

So when Shepherd was approached by the Kelowna branch of the Grandmothers For Africa organization to help promote the Stride To Turn The Tide walk taking place on Saturday at Mission Creek Regional Park, she was eager to join the campaign.

“I’ve helped out by

speaking at some Rotary Club luncheons here but primarily the purpose for me is about education, to inform people what is going on in Africa and how funds can be directed to the Stephen Lewis Foundation to help these grandmothers serve the role as primary caretakers.”

In 2006, the Stephen Lewis Foundation launched the Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign, directly connecting Canadian grandmothers to African grandmothers.

The idea was to offer support, grandparent to grandparent, by investing funds and resources directly at the grassroots level, offering food, education support, medical care, housing and counselling, as well as longer-term support such as parenting and business skills, micro-credit grants, bereavement counselling, HIV awareness counselling and testing, and grandmother support groups.

The situation is the most challenging in the

sub-Sahara region of Africa.

The numbers are staggering—15 million children have lost their parents to AIDS, and 30 million people have died.

As Shepherd noted, African grandmothers, with almost no support, have had to step up to care for this orphaned generation while grieving for the loss of their own children and overcoming their own deteriorating health.

In many southern Africa countries, it is estimated between 40 and 60 per cent of orphans live in grandmother-headed households.

They nurture, feed and put their grandchildren into school. They work to educate their grandchildren about HIV prevention care and treatment.

They tend to the sick in their communities, help the recently bereaved, set up support groups, harvest the crops and advocate for women’s rights.

The Kelowna Grandmothers for Africa will host the Stride To Turn The Tide walk on Sat-

urday at Mission Creek Regional Park.

Registration is from 8

to 10 a.m. at the park picnic shelter, with walking distances of up to five

Infielder Croft back in Kelowna Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Some of the best days of Josh Croft’s baseball career to date were spent on the diamond at Elks Stadium as a member of the Okanagan Athletics.

Now the 19-yearold from Powell River is back for another summer, this time wearing the colours of the West Coast League’s Kelowna Falcons.

“I just love this town, I have lots of friends here and I know the Falcons are a great club to play for,” said the 5-foot10, 180-pound Croft.

“I thought it would be a good idea to just come back here, try and work on some stuff this summer and hopefully we can pull off a championship.”

For two seasons, Croft—along with fellow Falcon and Kelowna native Dawson Yates—was a key figure for the A’s, helping lead the Kelowna-based club to a B.C. Premier Baseball League title in 2012.

His play in the PBL earned Croft a scholarship at San Jacinto College in Houston, Texas where he recently finished up an impressive first season of collegiate baseball.

Croft batted .310 with 19 RBIs and was named to the National Junior College Athletic Association regional all-Conference team.

“It was an incredible experience, quite eye-opening for me,” said Croft, who played at second base for San Ja-

cinto. “There was a lot of good talent down there, for sure. I was really impressed with a lot of players I played against, I got to watch a lot of good prospects, and I learned a lot. I’m excited to go down there again next year.”

I JUST LOVE THIS TOWN, I HAVE LOTS OF FRIENDS HERE AND I KNOW THE FALCONS ARE A GREAT CLUB TO PLAY FOR… HOPEFULLY WE CAN PULL OFF A CHAMPIONSHIP.

Falcons GM Mark Nonis is excited to have a local player of Croft’s talent and potential on the roster.

“Josh did really well down in Texas, he’s a definitely a good athlete in the infield, and plays the game hard,” said Nonis.

“It’s nice to have him, he’s going to be an asset and play a role on our team this year.”

In addition to the surroundings at Elks Stadium, Croft is also familiar with several faces, including that of former A’s teammate Yates, as well as UBC players Kevin Biro and Joel Lamont.

Croft lived with Biro in Parksville where the two were teammates in high school, while Lamont and Croft played

“It’s nice to know some people, to feel comfortable wherever you go, it makes things a little bit easier,” said Croft.

“They’re good guys so it’ll be nice to play with them this summer.”

And what would Croft like to accomplish

in his first season of summer ball in the West Coast League “I just really want to develop some skills, meet some new people and see where I want to be in the next few years kind of judge myself based on the better players I see…and see where it goes from there.”

Kelowna’s DEKA Trampoline is home to three new national champions.

Cami Hill, Adele Lefevre and Danielle Gruber each earned gold medals in their respective categories last week at the Canadian national trampoline championships at Carleton University at Ottawa.

Coached by Angelo Despotas, DEKA was represented by eight athletes, all of whom were members of Team B.C. In the national 18-andunder category, DEKA sent two rookies and one veteran to compete. This level proved to be the largest and most competitive in the competition with 48 athletes in the trampoline event and 46 in the double mini event.

Cami Hill, the veteran athlete, placed first and was crowned Canadian champion on trampoline.

The two rookies, Jordyn Yendley and Emily Welsh both just missed making finals placing 11th and 12th on trampoline. Welsh also competed on double mini with a final placing of sixth while Yendley just missed finals in the 11th spot on double mini.

In the High Performance Espoir category, Adele Lefevre placed first

and was also crowned Canadian champion on the double mini event, while also placing seventh in her trampoline event.

Danielle Gruber and Emma Tucker both competed in the high performance junior category on both double mini trampoline and trampoline events. Gruber won in Double Mini to become DEKA’s third Canadian champion of this meet.

She also placed fifth in her trampoline event. Tucker was fourth in double mini and 7th on Trampoline.

In the Senior High Performance category, Tyler Vermeulen placed 5th in men’s trampoline and Poppy Quinlan placed 13th on women’s trampoline.

DEKA Trampoline is a newly formed club that trains out of the Kelowna Gymnastix club.

“This was DEKA’s first national championships as a club and are very proud of their three national champions,” said coach Aneglo Despotas.

Next stop for DEKA is the Canada Cup competition to be held at the end of July in Ontario where athletes will be competing for spots on the Canadian team bound for World Championships in Daytona Florida in the fall.

MIXED MARTIAL ARTS

Dwyer continues winning ways with eye on UFC

n e n e n .

Kelowna fighter Matt Dwyer of Toshido MMA r is one step closer to realizing his dream of compething in the UFC. Dwyer, 24, condtinued his winning ways -last weekend by defeatning 10-time UFC vetersan Demarques Johnson at Battlefield Fight League s30 at the River Rock Catsino in Richmond.

The bout was in jeopardy, when Johnson, who sfights out of Salt Lake -City, Utah, came in almost e10 pounds over the agreed eupon weight class. d However Dwyer decided to move up a weight Aclass and take on the -crafty veteran.

The first round was a back and forth war with both fighters landing some big punches while the second round saw Dwyer taking control, landing some massive ground and pound, forcing the referee to stop the bout at 3:30 of round 2.

“These are the exact kind of fights the UFC likes to see,” said Toshido MMA head coach David Lea. “This is the second UFC veteran Matt has finished in a row, which is what you need to do to get your shot in the big leagues”.

If Dwyer gets the call from the UFC, he will be joining other Toshido

MMA alumni Rory MacDonald and Sarah Moras who are currently part of the UFC roster.

Even before Brandon West finished playing minor hockey he was already dabbling in the coaching game. As a midget player, West took it upon himself to help out the younger rep teams in his local minor hockey association. No surprise then, that when West’s junior hockey career was over and he had moved to Kelowna, one of his first calls he made was to the Kelowna Minor Hockey, offering to help.

Now 29 and eight years removed from his first coaching gig, West is the new head coach of the Salmon Arm Silverbacks of the BCHL. “I’m honoured, obviously, with the list of names that have coached, not only in Salmon Arm but in the BCHL, it’s humbling,” said West.

“It’s a great opportunity and I’m excited and honoured.”

In Kelowna Minor Hockey, West was joined Eric Blais his first year

and the two won a provincial championship together. The next two years West was an assistant on teams that lost provincial finals before he joined the Okanagan Rockets of the BCMML, first as an assistant and then as a head coach in his second season.

“Every year we made it to the provincial final (in minor hockey). They were long seasons and great experiences,” said West, who credits his two years with the Okanagan Rockets for kick-starting his coaching career.

His next stop was with the West Kelowna Warriors where he joined Rylan Ferster as an assistant before being hired away

by Salmon Arm two years ago.where he acted first as an assistant coach and then last year as an associate head coach. West was announced this week as head coach as part of “organizational changes” that moved Troy Mick into the position of President, GM and Governor.

“Brandon is ready to take this next step in his

Brandon West career,” said Mick. “I have personally worked with him the last two years and I know he is going to do a stellar job. His passion is shown every day at the rink. With his three years of being associate/assist-

Dean Claggett, of Two Eagles Golf Course and Academy, cashed a nice cheque at the 2014 PGA of BC Seniors’ Championship at Rivershore Estates and Golf Links this week in Kamloops.

Claggett fired a 69 on day one and followed that with a 71 on day two to finish with a four under par total, good enough for second place at the event, won by James Harper of McCleery Golf Course.

Harper had as much as a three-stroke lead over Claggett midway through the round, but Claggett battled to make up the deficit by the 16th hole.

The title would be decided on the 17th hole, a tough par-3 where Claggett couldn’t save par from the front left bunker. Harper would add some insurance on the 18th by making birdie to win by two strokes.

Claggett won $1,100 for his efforts.

Preventing brain injuries: Be smart and wear a helmet A common sense caution warning to all summer visitors and a reminder to Kelowna residents—our pavement is just as tough as anyone else’s.

Tragedies come in all mediums and spectrums and none of us are immune from dealing with one.

However, like many other experiences or events in our lifetime, tragedies can be delayed or avoided by our own actions or inactions.

Yesterday’s news is

a classic and ‘tragic’ example.

The brief news blurt about the death of the 11year old Abbotsford lad barely garnered a comment in the ‘Big City’ news, not even fulfilling the long-rumoured 15 minutes of fame.

Sadly, it seems the Abbotsford lad fell from his long board (skateboard) and struck his head on the pavement and died shortly after. He was not wearing a helmet.

The true tragedy is not only the tender age of the

Charlie Hodge accident victim but more so the fact that his demise was totally preventable had he simply put on his helmet.

The news clip did state: “Normally the youngster did wear head protection when boarding —yet for some unspecified reason was not doing so when the fall took place.”

It’s another version of a story we hear far too often; a few minutes of carelessness or lack of caution results in a life altering or life ending scenario.

It’s the kind of tragedy that leaves the vic-

tim’s survivors struggling to comprehend the loss, to understand the senselessness of it all, to grasp the harsh reality that the loss of the person never had to happen.

Kelowna, despite its lovely Lotus Land appeal and summer playground tag, is no more immune to such sorrow than Abbotsford or any other community across Canada.

Our sidewalks and roadways are no more forgiving from a harsh impact perspective than any other pavement in the country.

If you fall off your bike, skateboard or rollerblades and smack your head on the ground, it will not feel any better here than elsewhere.

With the delightful arrival of summer weather, the roads and walkways of our city become a beehive of activity.

Hong Kong for the pleasure of business Alan Behr CONTRIBUTOR

HONG KONG—The rain started on Sunday afternoon, just as the conference got underway.

A translucent sheet of water soaked the view of the skyscrapers and harbour from mid-afternoon through the night, shining in street lights like a swarm of locusts.

Those of us familiar to the rains of South Florida have seen water fall like this before—for 20 minutes each afternoon in July and August— but almost no one at the international legal conference that had taken me back to Hong Kong was prepared for this preview of its rainy season. You could do nothing but watch the rain fall, glad to be indoors if you were, coping with being appallingly wet if you were not, and all the while

feeling as if you were in a movie about the Vietnam War, minus the Viet Cong.

It rained on and off for the next few days, but the city seemed not to care. At least as it displays itself to visitors, Hong Kong appears to be built and run for one thing only: Commerce. And it was not about to let record-breaking rains get in the way of the business week.

Subway easier to navigate than communicating with cabbies Hong Kong from A25 more than seven million inhabitants, is one of the world’s largest by population. Those taxis, although cheap, come with drivers who by and large do not speak English. (As a wise lawyer from Switzerland observed, if they could speak English, they would not be cabbies.) One driver even threw me out after giving up trying to decode where it was I wanted to go. The solution adopted by many of us was to ride the subway (called the MTR) or to take the Star Ferry across Victoria Harbour—which it has been doing since the reign of the harbour’s namesake.

On the walls of the spiral staircase above the entrance to the Hong Kong Club, you still find whimsical portraits of British men of power and influence. Back in

the day (from 1848 until the 1970s), membership was restricted to white male Britons. You hear now how, beyond such fortresses of exclusivity, much of Hong Kong during British rule was tawdry and picturesquely run down, its alleys catering to goings-on you would just as soon not know about, or at least not while in the company of spouse and children. Throughout history, European colonialists have preferred that their dominions not populated by their own nationals be exotic and a trifle rough.

Why go so far away, to be in such a strange place, only to find yourself with all the unmanly benefits of home (at least when not at the office, in your own dwelling or at the club)?

grown quite rich. New skyscrapers seem to pile atop each other along the harbour shore of the island, and from the high bridge to the airport, you can see the procession of container ships carrying to American ports all those things that Americans want and that their own inefficient, unionized factories had made for them before losing out and shutting down.

Not surprisingly, each year, Hong Kong sheds more of the remaining rustic dilapidation that Westerners still find alluring. It is the West, after all, that is still a touch romantic about “the mysterious East,” even as East Asia’s practicality and business-first attitude make the West look dreamy and romantic in comparison. Hong Kong is greater proof of that than can be found just about anywhere on the Pacific Rim, which is why seeing it on a business trip is the right way to do it.

That is also about the only logical way to do it, because about all that Hong Kong has to offer the short-term visitor are clean offices, perfect luxury shops and restaurants with Michelin stars. There is a Hong Kong Disneyland, and at night, the island’s office towers and convention centre, having little else to do after hours, put on a sound and light show that spans the harbour. The city’s highest mountain, Victoria Peak (known as “The Peak”), offers a delightful view of the city. This being Hong Kong, it also houses a shopping mall.

There is also Victoria Park, which offers shaded walkways and sports courts. Just before the rains came, and as on all Sundays, open spaces in the park were filled with many clusters of the Filipino and Indonesian servant women on whom the locals depend to keep their lives tidy. Sunday, universally in town, is the maid’s day off, and they celebrate that communally.

In my legal practice, I work extensively with international luxury brands, and I live in Manhattan, where most of the big ones maintain stores. Even Manhattan could not prepare me for Hong Kong, where nearly every luxury brand has two shops and perhaps more—or for the singular peculiarity of my visit: Every single luxury store into which I took a look was beautiful, inviting and completely empty

of humanity except for its well-dressed and obviously bored sales staff. According to the news, currency fluctuations and a squabble or two between the mainland and Hong Kong sent away mainland tourists and their new wealth. The local population, in turn, appeared to favour modest dress— more H&M than Brunello Cucinelli.

The tradition of Hong Kong as a base for bargains therefore is no longer entirely true, and as anyone conversant with either Amazon or eBay knows, what is sold here on the cheap can easily be shipped just about anywhere. But there still are deals to be had by visitors. A Nikon camera that costs almost $3,000 in the United States (and more in Europe) was going for about $1,000 less than that in two stores surveyed. The current flagship Leica, however, went for more than the U.S. street price—until the haggling started.

Some lawyers among us went to Hong Kong tailors, long famous for speed and value, reporting that made-to-measure shirts could be had for $80 in two days’ time.

But if you really want to experience traditional Hong Kong commerce, just walk along Nathan Road or nearby streets in Kowloon and endure the long-honoured Hong Kong ritual of shaking off touts who follow along, offering tailored clothes, counterfeit watches or a “massage.” In time, my answer would become, “I have a tailor I, I have a watchmaker, I have a prostitute.” Perhaps sensing that the last of those was not true, the response would be, “What you want?” to which my reply would come: “Nothing from you.”

By pure chance, while my lawyers’ meeting was in town, Art Basel Hong Kong was setting up at the other end of the convention centre. As the 245 art galleries from around the world were setting up their displays of Contemporary and Modern Art, I ran into a former partner of mine from Charlotte, N.C. Perhaps knowing that I am an art critic and from New York, he had one question: “Why is everyone there wearing black?”

That night, at the VIP vernissage that opened the show, there were artists in black, there were patrons dressed as if for a Park Avenue dinner party, and there were others dressed as if angling for a prize for most original costume in an independent film that failed to find distribution.

Stuck in the middle of it all, rooted to their booths like redwoods to the forest floor, were the gallery people, conservatively and finely dressed, doing their utmost to show grace under pressure as they presented for sale, at great risk to fortune and reputation, what art galleries trading in the new offer everywhere: desire, devotion and expectation.

A clumsy connoisseur swung her bag into the sculpture and broke off a piece. The work—a whimsical slave galley in wood—was quickly repaired from spare parts wisely brought over by the Tokyo gallery that displayed it.

There can be no better proof that Hong Kong has arrived on the world travel circuit, speaking in its own voice and revealing its pleases as it collects its fair share from all who attend.

IF YOU GO:

Getting there and getting around: Cathay Pacific did a fine

job carting me halfway around the globe in premium economy class as I did some work, slept and watched German and American movies. Flight attendants were memorably attentive. www.cathaypacific.com.

In Hong Kong, at the nearest 7-Eleven and elsewhere, you can buy an Octopus card, good for rides on public transportation, including the Star Ferry.

Staying there: Our

annual international conference was spread among hotels on either side of the harbour, and (in contrast to other years in other venues), everyone I spoke to this time reported a good experience.

Feel free to make your choice among familiar hotel brands.

Clothes shopping: My standout pick among women’s fashion designers is Marie France van Damme, whose small and elegant Hong Kong shop

is in the mall of the International Finance Centre (www.mariefrancevandamme.com).

A cautionary word about men’s tailors and shirtmakers: Yes, they work fast and fairly inexpensively in Hong Kong, but it usually takes a few tries before madeto-measure done anywhere comes out just right, so look for a tailor with a solid reputation, and even then do not expect magic with an initial

Considering I’ll be there less than 24 hours, words like “ambitious” or “motivated” or even “crazy” might describe my reasoning. But heck, if it means I get a home cooked meal, I’d travel all night.

Finishing touches put to magnificent Mustang parts. This is as close as you can get to being a car factory assembly line worker except you are doing every task instead of just one, and you have all the time that is needed and not having to work to the speed of a moving production line.

One of the upgrades that the T5 will receive is a new product designed to dampen and suppress the driveline and road noise, making the inner cabin as quiet as possible and a bit like a modern car. The foil covered pads have a peel off backing and are adhered to every inner sheet metal

Our classic and collector car expert continues today with the third part of his four-part series on the restoration of public relations executive Laura Ballance’s rare 1967 Ford Mustang T5 by 360 Fabrication in Abbotsford.

1967 Mustang T5 gets noise suppression.

The Mustang T5 body shell has been painted, clear coated, wet-sanded, recleared and finally polished to a show quality finish.

Now comes the fun part of a restoration, the reassembly, opening boxes and fitting all of those new

panel such as the roof, floor, doors and bulkhead. The next step is to install the new wiring harness; old wiring harnesses become brittle over time due to heat and corrosion at the joints and terminals, ask the owner of any British Sports Car from that era!

The interior has been completely renewed from top to bottom staring with the headliner, trim panels, carpets, dash pads and the seats have all been reupholstered.

Before the new back glass and windshield are installed (all of the other glass panels have been replaced) the new vinyl top is installed.

Installing a vinyl roof is not a task that is performed very often these days but 360 have the skills to do this in-house.

LKQ stocks a huge selection of high quality muscle car sheet metal and parts. “If you are doing a premium muscle car restoration the only sheet metal you want to use is from LKQ,” asserted Rick Francoeur at 360.

The exterior panels will soon have their final fitting.

They have been fitted and removed during the restoration process countless times to make sure that the panel gaps are correct.

The final fitting process will involve two or three people to make sure that the paint does not get chipped or damaged.

Before the original V-8 engine was removed from the car it underwent a compression check, all of the cylinders had equal and strong readings so a complete re-build was not necessary. The carburetor has been replaced with a new two-barrel, the automatic transmission has been completely re-built as has the rear axle.

Rick talked Laura out of fitting a modern rack and pinion power steering kit or even upgrading the manual steering box to a power-assisted unit so it will be reliving the Armstrong steering experience for Laura when parking at low speeds!

One safety upgrade is the installation of original Ford front disc-brakes; these are a must in today’s traffic.

Collector vehicle drivers are very cautious, invariably when accidents occur it is the drivers around you that are not paying attention or cutting you off.

360 have done their research and paid a lot of attention to detail during this rebuild, right down to avoiding the temptation of installing an exhaust system with two tailpipes.

Next week, we will explore what exactly a T5 is? How rare they are and explore some of the events that Laura and her brand new old car will be attending in this 50th anniversary year of the Ford Mustang.

First stage in the transformation of Lincoln

The Lincoln MKZ is the first vehicle in a four-vehicle transformation coming from the premium carmaker over a four-year timeline.

The MKZ has been selling well and the hybrid model has sold much better than Lincoln was expecting. But the reality is that Lincoln has a long way to go to resurrect this once mighty American luxury brand.

It’s hoped the brand’s new fashion-forward design will attract younger buyers, rather than the older crowd that traditionally purchases the brand. Another is providing value, something luxury buyers are not used too. The base MKZ and the Hybrid have the same starting price of $37,960 Looks This big Lincoln is built off the same platform as the less expensive Ford Fusion.

It could be argued that the front waterfall grille is dramatic and takes that

base Ford sedan and turns it into the Lincoln with good effects. The standard LED headlamps also make a statement. It is the back of the car that I’m not sure about. The super clean and rather square rear deck lid and bumper, framed by a full width taillight, look modern but the rest of the car has sweeping lines. The back is chunkier looking.

One thing we really miss is a rear trunk release on the outside of the car; you

have to use the key fob or the interior release. When you open the trunk, the area for storing the hybrid battery pack really limits the amount of space for carrying larger objects.

Inside Front and centre is the standard MyLincoln Touch system, which is the same as the MyFord Touch system. If Lincoln wants to charge more for its products, it should install a different system, as Cadillac does with the Cue system.

Both the regular gas model and the hybrid come nicely equipped. Many buyers will likely opt for the preferred package at $6,100 to

Curbers are dedicated to separating you from your money Curbers often lurk online and in the small print of classified advertising sections.

But no matter where they choose to advertise their cars for sale, their driving desire is to make you a bad deal dressed as a good one.

In the next two weeks, we’re going to take a look first at a typical curber profile then tell you about the activities of some specific conmen known to the authorities. It is hoped that this information will ensure you won’t fall foul of these low-lifers. I’m indebted to the Vehicle Sales Authority for providing the research necessary for me to furnish with this advice.

I guess I’ve always had a cartoonish image of what a curber looks like but the VSA put me straight on that notion. Typically, the curber is a male, 45 or older, but they can come in all ages, shapes and sizes. Frequently, they have a ‘your neighbour’ look, avoiding anything flashy in appearance that might draw attention. Sometimes dresses like a mechanic or labourer who needs the cash urgently for one reason or another.

He always have a story about the vehicle that sounds reasonable, given that the buyer is really only interested in the car, not the story. However, sometimes there will be an elaborate

yarn designed to elicit an emotional reaction; for example, he’s selling for his dad’s widow, his kid is going back to the home country for a visit. This is a way they can “bridge” the registration—sell a vehicle still registered in someone else’s name.

The only way to reach him is by cell phone, he’s slippery about providing details and his availability.

He will always be alone and usually has a pay-as-you-go phone. This enables him to switch SIM cards and use different numbers in ads for different cars. Here’s a tip: scan ads and see if any others read similarly to the one detailing the car you are interested in. They may be slick but one downfall is their creative writing ability.

– They usually use the same language and terms in all of their ads.

The viewing location will always be a parking lot, most often at a mall or large grocery store parking lot, and occasionally at service stations. He will avoid going for a test drive, saying that he’s not allowed to let someone else drive the vehicle for insurance reasons or the vehicle doesn’t have enough gas.

If there is a test drive, the radio will be turned on up loud to drown out any mechanical problems. If the customer wants to take the vehicle for an inspection, the curber will accuse them of not trusting them.

Always in a hurry because another potential buyer is coming by shortly. Chats constantly to keep the buyer from having time to think clearly. Curbers are all good salespersons, they know how to deflect and direct conversations. They are engaging and portray themselves as being on the buyer’s side; “not like those bad dealers” in some disreputable area of town.

They want cash and will take the purchaser to their choice of autoplan agent.

I have to say, if you get this far along in a transaction and you haven’t cottoned on, after reading this advice you might be destined to be a victim. keith.morgan@drivewaybc. ca

comparison, the Lexus ES hybrid fully loaded is more than $53,000.

Drive The MKZ is sold in three configurations, the base front wheel drive (FWD) with a 4-cylinder turbocharged Ecoboost engine an all wheel drive (AWD) with a 3.7L V6 or this hybrid.

Unfortunately, the V6 is the only one with AWD. The 2.0L Ecoboost turbo 4-cylinder is the same one used in the Range Rover Evoque and pumps out 240hp. The 3.7L V6 has 300hp and the 2.0L 4-cylinder matched to a hybrid system has a rath5er pokey 141hp. The upside is that this car is rated at 4.0L/100kmh in both the city and highway. As I have remarked before, the Ford/ Lincoln hybrid system is one of the best on the market but invigorating it is not.

This is a cruiser; the whole setup is refined and muted making this MKZ not as edgy as it looks.

Historically, Lincoln’s main rival has been Cadillac but now these two companies couldn’t be farther apart.

Cadillac, with its award winning ATS and new CTS, contends with the best German products. This MKZ isn’t going to get German car buyers excited.

Verdict Lincoln has done a good job of packaging the MKZ hybrid without a price premium. It comes nicely equipped and when fully loaded is a relative bargain in the luxury space.

But there are a few problems. One is the push button transmission. I’m not opposed to buttons, just to the fact they are not close to the driver; it’s a bit of a reach, especially going back and forth from drive and reverse, several times, when parking. I much prefer the rotary dial in the Jaguar or the column shifter in the Mercedes products.

The rest of the centre console is covered in hard plastic with sliding controls for the heat and radio, the rest are touch-sensitive. Call me old school but I prefer a conventional layout. The biggest rival for this car is the less expensive Ford Fusion on which it is based.

Lincoln should do more to differentiate itself from Ford. zack.spencer@drivewaybc. ca

Bimmer 3 drives top sales The compact 3 Series sedan is the definitive BMW and the most popular car made by the Bavarian Motor Works.

The 5th generation (2006 to 2011) of the 3 Series line had, by 2010, expanded to include Touring (wagon), 2-door coupe and Cabriolet (convertible) editions, in addition to the sedan, which is internally know as the E90.

Primarily a rear-drive vehicle with an in-line six cylinder engine up front, the 2010 sedan came as a 323i (2.5-litre), 328i (3.0-litre), 335i (twin-turbo 3.0-litre) and 335d, with a twin-turbo

and pricey M3 edition, with 4.0-litre V8 engine.

A six-speed manual came standard and is a popular transmission with 3 Series buyers. The automatic option was either a conventional six-speed (with a manual mode) or a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

Moving ahead, the 2011 model year 3 Series came with a minor exterior refresh that included new headlight units with LED signals, modified front and rear bumpers and air intakes, and new taillights with LED technology.

with new TwinPower Turbo technology on a revised 3.0-litre engine.

An all-new sixth generation BMW 3 Series sedan (know internally as the F30) was introduced for the 2012 model year. Longer and lighter, with more rear seat leg room, the new body styling comes with a more distinctive frontal appearance. The base engine is also a four-cylinder, which hadn’t been offered in a 3 Series since the 318i, back in the late 1990s.

Known as the N20 engine, and fitted in the 320i and 328i, this new four-cylinder also comes with TwinPower Turbo technology and can be mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. It makes the 2012 edition of the 328i both faster (0 to 100 km/hour in about six seconds) and more fuel efficient than its predecessor.

In addition, it comes with a fuel-saving Auto Stop/Start system and Brake Energy Regeneration. City/highway fuel consumption is rated at a surprisingly frugal 8.0/5.3 L/100 km respectively.

Blind Spot Detection and Lane Departure Warning systems were good-tohave active safety features available. Used buyers can also look for models with a Surround View camera system that gives a driver rear, front, side and top (bird’s-eye) perspectives of the vehicle while parking.

Availability of BMW’s xDrive (all-wheel-drive) system was expanded for 2013, with the introduction

2012 BMW 328i. of new 320i xDrive and 335i xDrive editions. Another (late) addition for 2013 was a gas/electric hybrid version, called ActiveHybrid 3. This sporty hybrid can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in about 5.5 seconds, yet offers combined city/highway fuel economy of 7.1 L/100 km.

A solid reputation for mechanical reliability has helped it repeatedly achieve “Recommended Buy” status from Consumer Reports.

However, most buyers are attracted to a 3 Series because it’s simply a great car to drive.

Safety Recalls: 2010 to 2013 BMW 3 Series Sedan: 2007/2008/2009/2010 /2011: The positive battery cable connection to the fuse box may fail while the vehicle is being driven and result in an engine stall or the loss of other systems, such as lights.

2010/2011: Housing bolts for the variable camshaft timing system may break, allowing camshaft timing to deviate. If this occurs, the engine would revert to “limp home mode”, limiting available engine power. Dealers will replace housing bolts that break and perform associated repairs for 10 years/unlimited mileage from the vehicle’s in-service date.

2011: On sedans equipped with xDrive (all-wheeldrive), the front driveshaft attachment bolts may not have received adequate

tightening torque during vehicle assembly. Should the fasteners loosen and fall out, the driveshaft would detach and result in additional damage to the driveline. Dealers will replace the front driveshaft attachment bolts.

2013/2014: A defect in manufacturing could result in a loss of oil supply to the vacuum pump and cause a loss of power assist to the braking system. Dealers will install a camshaft seal disk locking ring. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc. ca

Buick luxury is standard, not lots of costly options

While most auto manufacturers provide option lists as long as your arm, the 2014 Buick Enclave provides many luxuries as standard equipment.

Particularly appreciated by yours truly on an extended test drive were the perforated leather seats that conform to your body and provide comfort and warmth via easily accessible heater/air conditioning buttons. I found the Enclave to be very comfortable and the cabin to be very quiet, in fact there was little if any

option for eight, gives riders plenty of room and all seats are very comfortable. The second seats slide forward easily thanks to ‘Smart Slide’, enabling quick access to the third-row seating area. With the pull of a lever, the cushion flips up while the seatback slides forward. The system can be adjusted to provide more legroom either for those in the second row or third.

I should also note the ice blue LED light strip that envelops the entire inside of the vehicle at night, forming a chest high ring of light. Might be ok if you’re a fan of the movie Tron, but I found it a bit distracting.

proved to be a real winner.

Many safety features are available with this vehicle including rear cross traffic alerts that help you detect vehicles as you are backing up. There is also an available side blind zone alert that uses radar to identify a vehicle traveling in one of your blind spots.

In additional to all the usual airbags, Buick has introduced an industry first driver’s seat side mounted front centre airbag. It provides cushioning between the driver and front passenger in side impacts.

Nice weather encouraged me to take a trip to Whistler along the Sea-to-Sky high-

way. I have always enjoyed that highway with all the twists and curves. The Enclave was a little sluggish on the hills but overall it handled very well.

The tester had a 3.6-litre V6 engine, which generates 288 horsepower, is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and offers direct injection with variable valve timing. The all-wheel drive system detects wheel slippage and delivers power to the wheel to give you it the best grip.

The highway fuel consumption is rated at 8.4 L/100km (12.7 – city), but I was getting about 8.9L/100km on my trip. The actual numbers

are 12.7/8.4 L/100 km (city/ highway) I’ve left the looks until last because the major changes came in the last model year so differences are only subtle. It does now have a noticeable splash of LED accent lighting over the headlights.

The Enclave is designed to be a stylish people mover and it definitely achieves that goal. Overall, it was a nice driving experience and with a few changes, it could be a more attractive one too.

Price as tested $51,545. ian.harwood@drivewaybc. ca

Drives-U-Crazy Glacial merging When drivers do not increase their speed enough when merging onto the highway.

It makes it dangerous when they’re going 40 – 60 – 80 and stay at 80 even when they have entered the highway.

It’s 100 km/h people, come on! The traffic on the highway is going 100 or more —ughhh!

KEATING - PEARL DELORIS It is with great sadness the family wishes to announce the sudden passing of Pearl Deloris Keating, Saturday, May 31, 2014.

Deloris died peacefully with her husband and partner of 61 years at her side at Kelowna General Hospital. Cherished mother and loving wife, she is survived by her four children, 11 grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren, and her beloved dog, Thomas. Born and raised in Saskatchewan, she trained as a nurse at Saint Boniface, Grey Nuns Hospital and practiced in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba. There she met her husband Walter and was married the 28th of February 1953. Happiest when surrounded by her family and friends, much of her time was devoted to communicating with her widely dispersed family.

Among her many passions, Deloris was a fabulous cook, a talented gardner, an active volunteer in her children’s many activities, as well an accomplished and creative needle work artisan. A Celebration of Deloris life will be held from the Chapel of First Memorial Funeral Services, 1211 Sutherland Ave on Friday, June 6th, 2014 at 9:30 AM. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to the Kelowna SPCA in memory of Deloris. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.mem.com, click on stories and type in Pearl Keating.

Tour show homes in Lake Country The third annual Spring Parade of Homes in Lake Country will take place on Saturday.

The day starts with a barbecue lunch at Cadence at The Lakes adult community and tour of the two show homes, which will display the variety available in their single-family, fully detached rancher-style homes.

Next up right around the corner will be a stunning home by Destination Homes, winner of three Tommie Awards, including the 2011 Best New Show Home in the Okanagan.

Then take a trip along Shoreline Drive to see the tour’s final three show homes.

First up is the grand

opening of Built-Rite Homes’ showcase, introducing their Clean Living Home Series with the latest in energy saving technologies.

And Malkin Construction has built a home that will open your eyes to the possibilities of custom building.

And what day in Lake Country would be com-

plete without a wine tasting, courtesy of making a visit to the new custom home built by Gibson Contracting while enjoying quality Ex Nihilo wine.

Every show home tour will offer a separate prize draw, including wine, RONA gift certificates and some cool green products. Plus, each home

tour also gives you another entry into the grand prize draw for a threenight getaway at Sparkling Hill Resort.

Experience and discover Lake Country living on a new level.

For directions to The Lakes and a show home tour map, visit the website www.ParadeOfHomes. ca.

Many old-time garden perennials able to thrive with little water

H

ave you ever come upon an abandoned homestead in the dry interior at this time of year and been surprised to see a bearded iris (Iris germanica) in bloom?

They, and many other well-loved, old garden perennials, are very drought-tolerant.

There are many colours and bi-colours of bearded iris. They range from miniature, dwarf and standard to tall.

All need full sun to be at their best. Different varieties bloom at different times, generally for two to three weeks.

They are deer-resistant and attract hummingbirds. Some of the fancier hybridized ones may be less tough than older varieties.

Another spectacular old species, Oriental poppy, has a deep taproot allowing it to thrive in very dry sun, but making it hard to move.

The traditional colour is orange. There are many beautiful shades of white, pink, red and bi-colours. Blood-red ‘Beauty of Livermore’ is my favourite.

These deer-resist-

GARDENING WITH NATURE

Gwen Steele ant plants go semi-dormant and look scruffy after bloom. They can be trimmed back.

It’s best to plant them at the back of a deep bed so something large and later-blooming can be placed in front.

Catnip (Nepeta), with blue flowers from May to July, and again at the end of summer, is a wonderful, water-wise plant.

Nepeta ‘Walkers Low’ is striking at two feet by two feet. The smaller Nepeta ’Dropmore Hybrid’ is twelve inches.

Catnip attracts butterflies and pollinators and is deer resistant.

Coreopsis grandiflora, or tickseed, reliably provides yellow daisies for cut flowers from June to

September, if dead-headed. It attracts butterflies and is deer-resistant.

There are many varieties of blanket flower, in shades of yellow, orange, red and burgundy, that will bloom from June through September if dead-headed.

This includes our native brown-eyed Susan (Gaillardia aristata).

They attract butterflies, are deer-resistant and the seeds feed birds.

Although a short-lived perennial, they reliably self-seed.

Another heirloom species, gloriosa daisy, has the same attributes as blanket flower but is usually taller. Flowers may include golden/rust shades.

These, and other yellow flowers, are nice paired with blue catnip.

A century ago, hollyhocks were common.

Their tall, stately forms were usually at the back of a flower garden but sometimes in big clusters beside a house or building.

Years ago I planted them in front of my bedroom window. Several times I was star-

WHEN MOVING to a home with an old established garden, even if it has lacked water and been neglected, tough perennials such as German iris survive and are a delightful surprise when they burst into bloom. tled at night by tall shadows moving across the curtains, before remembering it was only my hollyhocks bending in the wind.

They come in many colours, single and double, and bloom all summer, providing food for birds, butterflies and hummingbirds.

Older plants are prone to rust so it’s best to seed new ones every two to

three years.

••• The 17th annual Kelowna Garden Tour takes place Saturday, June 14, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.. Tickets are available at local nurseries. Check http://www. flowerpowerylw.ca for more information.

Dealing with mortgage payments

Are you encountering financial difficulty and keeping up with your mortgage payment obligations is an issue?

There are ways to avoid default and keep your home. When unforeseen financial circumstances impact your financial ability to make regular mortgage payments, it’s important to take quick action.

Early intervention, cooperation and a well-executed plan will go a long way to working together with your mortgage lender to avoid foreclosure.

Have you or your spouse lost employment and no longer make as much money? Search for a way to make up your payments and continue fighting to make your payment on time every month.

You have to find and incorporate a solution to decrease your expenses and increase your income. An additional job or selling possessions to raise funds to assist with payments are a couple of options to consider.

You may temporarily have to cut back on non necessities for a short time. If you have a lower level or spare bedroom, consider renting it to increase your monthly cash intake.

When mortgage payment issues arise, contact your lender as soon as possible and explain your situation.

Lenders don’t want to deal with a long and costly foreclosure procedure. They will work with you to come up with a practical solution.

One option might be to extend your mortgage term to reduce your monthly payments. They might suggest and offer an interest only mortgage, which could substantially reduce monthly mortgage payments.

The disadvantages associated with these two options is the payments won’t reduce the mortgage principal.

If you have decent equity in your home you could also consider refinancing. This could create capital for if you are able to refinance at a lower rate or extend the amortization, a refinance could reduce your monthly payments.

Another option is to sell your home and downsize— buy a less expensive home or temporarily rent until your circumstances improve. It’s a good option to consider for you don’t want a foreclosure proceeding to be registered on your credit history, leaving a negative impact for years to come.

By avoiding foreclosure, you will save your credit and have the option of purchasing a home again when your financial situation improves.
