or thousands of birds in the Central Okanagan, the presence of Dennis Ingram, his falcons and his dogs can be a most unsettling sight.

The Peachland man is a bird pest clearance specialist who works with the City of Kelowna to minimize birdrelated problems at city beaches and parks, as well as the Glenmore Landfill.

By employing the talents of his animal friends, Ingram works to ensure the health and safety of the general public.

In today’s Capital News, Warren Henderson looks at Ingram’s passion for wildlife and the outdoors, his unique relationship with his fellow creatures, and how it all benefits the community at large.

Birds of prey take to air to protect community Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

O

n a warm June afternoon at the Glenmore Landfill, Dennis Ingram and his falcon, Buddha, are busy performing one of their daily exercises.

With speed, grace and purpose, Buddha takes to the sky to frighten off hundreds of gulls which come to the landfill to scavenge through the reams of garbage.

Within seconds, the gulls recognize the danger posed by this bird of prey and immediately scatter from the area.

“Landfills can have as many as 5,000 gulls out there at one time and what we promote is generally a scare program,” said Ingram. “Falcons are very aerial birds, so the other birds have time to see them coming and are quick to leave. The idea is to scare them off rather than killing them, to keep them away for as long as possible without harming them.”

Ingram, who owns and operates LA Hawk Enterprises, is a pest bird clearance specialist and is contracted by the City of Kelowna to help manage bird populations at city parks and beaches, as well as the Glenmore Landfill.

At the landfill, the collection and consumption of garbage by gulls and many other birds can cause a range of health concerns for the public. The service Ingram and his falcons provide at the landfill is known as ‘vector control.’

A vector is any living being that can transport harmful substances from one site to another—such as moving garbage from the landfill to public properties or neighbouring private lots.

Glenmore Landfill manager Ken Muller said Ingram’s work is invaluable to the health and safety of the community.

“Falconry is an effective means of controlling bird populations, and what Dennis does is discourage gulls, crows, ravens and magpies from hanging around while we’re doing our work,” said Muller. “That’s how disease can be carried. Some birds like gulls will take food as far away as the lake, or to nearby ponds to wash it.

You can’t be sure what they’re carrying.

“If it’s coming to the landfill, it’s coming here for a good reason, it’s at the end of its life,” he adds. “You can’t tell if it’s noxious by looking at it and

DENNIS INGRAM uses falconry to help manage pest bird problems at parks and beaches in Kelowna as well as at the Glenmore Landfill, above. neither can a bird.

“We’re also close to the airport and that’s another reason you don’t want birds congregating here.”

Because birds can’t always be outsmarted, Muller said Ingram’s falconry program sometimes requires a bit of creative strategy.

“Dennis will mix it up, sometimes he comes in the morning, sometimes he comes in the afternoon, because birds are also very smart, more so than people realize,” he said. “If

he came at the same time everyday, the birds just wouldn’t show up. The birds also send scouts in to see if he’s there, they’re very intelligent…and if he’s not there it’s not long before they’re back.”

Since 2006, Ingram has also been providing pest bird control for the City of Kelowna.

His birds of prey and his dogs, Indy and Raider, are frequent visitors to parks, beaches and sports fields throughout the city to manage geese

and duck populations.

Geese can consume more than a kilogram of grass each per day, while leaving as much as four kilograms of feces behind in just one week.

Large amounts of goose waste can be a health hazard and may also compromise the quality of the lake water in public areas.

As is the case at the landfill, Ingram said scaring tactics at parks and beaches are carried out as humanely as possible. The dogs will chase but

never touch a bird in the course of a work day, while the falcon is sent airborne to generally allow the geese enough time to safely reach the water.

In concert with a local initiative, the Okanagan Regional Goose Management Committee, Ingram’s work has proved to be most effective in keeping parks and beaches safe and clean—according to the City of Kelowna’s urban forestries supervisor.

“Combined with his effort and our staff, the measures have really helped maintain very good conditions in many of our public areas,” said Blair Stewart. “Since this effort, I don’t believe we’ve had a single beach closure. It’s important for water quality, so that our residents can enjoy our parks, and people who do visit here can also be comfortable.”

Stewart said Ingram and his animals are an imposing presence for the water fowl who frequent green space and sand in Kelowna.

“It’s quite amazing how the birds recognize him,” said Stewart. “If they don’t see his van or him, they’re not worried. But when they see the truck he drives or when he’s in the water in his boat, they know they shouldn’t be there. It’s all about behaviour…he’s like a policeman to them.

“He’s also very personable and knowledgeable, and is happy to interact with the public,” Stewart added.

A retired firefighter who grew up in Alberta, Ingram has been training falcons, hawks and eagles for close to 50 years and has been an avid outdoorsman for just as long.

He keeps about six birds of prey at one time, mostly falcons, and mostly ranging in age from three months to four years. All are domestically bred in B.C. and once they reach around four years of age, the birds are cycled back into breeding programs. Birds in captivity can live up to 20 years, while only 25 per cent in the wild make it past the age of two.

Ingram begins training and socializing his birds from the first weeks of their lives, and contrary to a common belief, he said birds of prey aren’t natural born hunters.

“People often think birds of prey are automatically instinctive, they know how to hunt, but nothing is farther from the truth,” he said. “If a bird isn’t taught how to hunt, it probably wouldn’t survive very long. Those are skills you have to teach. I’ve been doing it so long, I’ve just learned how

“I had been suffering with a painful neck and shoulder for almost four years following a car accident, also I was experiencing pain with my hand for a few weeks. Then I went for a few acupuncture treatments and I am happy to report that they have helped me greatly to have me free of pain.” ~ Beatrice, KELOWNA

“I was having severe lower back pain. I saw my medical doctor and was given pain killers. I could only sleep 3 hours at a time, waking up in pain.

I decided to try acupuncture as my father did 40 years ago and the results are way beyond my expectation. My pain is virtually gone and I am again enjoying life to its fullest.” ~ Ron, KELOWNA

“So to see the crowded beaches, the weddings, the grad walks, people just enjoying themselves, knowing it’s a safe environment…that’s nice to see.

“The city does a tremendous job, from what I see, in keeping these places safe and clean.

It’s an important part of everyday life here.”

“My birds have to get used to things like big dogs and little dogs, big machines, things in parks like buggies and bikes… in nature they shy away from that stuff,” Ingram said.

“I have to work with them so they’re comfortable with anything from a bulldozer to noisy kids.

With all those things, you have to nurture that kind of behaviour.

“With my birds and my dogs, there’s trust and a bond you build with them—you have to shape that.”

Kerry Robert Cooper will spend a little more than three years of additional time in jail for burning down the Westbank Lions Community Hall.

The crime put at-risk youth from the Central Okanagan School District’s Storefront Program out of a classroom, causing some to drop out of school altogether, and hit a string of charities working out of the hall in the pocketbook, preventing the community from accessing their services for a time.

“If you wanted to hurt West Kelowna this is the building you would target,” said Crown counsel David Grabavac.

Ostensibly burned in an impulsive fit of rage, Judge Anne Wallace told Cooper she saw a high degree of premeditation in his decision to burn down the hall in order to ruin the wedding of his comrmon-law wife’s friend, Amanda Nevdoff.

- The court previously heard Cooper believed mNevdoff was trying to ybreak up his relationship.

He grew angry about her wedding, in which his lpartner was a bridesmaid.

their guests were to enjoy a reception in the hall on Sept. 1, 2013.

Cooper quickly admitted to driving his girlfriend’s Jeep to the hall, setting the building on fire, using gasoline pur-

chased that morning, and his shirt; although he contends he never intended to burn the entire building down.

Damages were estimated close to $1.5 million.

NATURAL FACTS

by Dr. David Wikenheiser

“When does PRP Joint Regeneration, not work?”

Using the platelets from your own blood to activate your own healing has become a popular regenerative medical treatment.

This treatment, when performed on painful and loose joints is known as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Prolotherapy. Platelets contain growth factors that can activate dormant stem cells and turn on your healing. Proliferation means growth, and prolotherapy is a medical treatment that results in the re growth of joints.

Reports of PRP Prolotherapy treatment results have been reported that are so good that planned surgeries on hips, knees, backs, and other joints can be postponed indefinitely.

Some doctors have stated that as many as 90% of all orthopedic surgeries could be avoided with this medical treatment.

I have performed PRP Prolotherapy treatments since June of 2011, and I can say absolutely that PRP Prolotherapy will not work - if…

1. If you do not rest after the treatment.

Collagen takes ten or more days to supportively heal ligaments and tendons after a PRP Prolotherapy treatment. Regular physical activities must be delayed for two to three weeks after the treatment for best results. Going to the gym the day after your

treatment is strictly prohibited.

2. If you stop after just one treatment and you need more treatments. While some people respond to just one PRP Prolotherapy others have required two, three or more treatments for full healing. Having just one treatment and saying that it did not work is incomplete.

3. If you have taken an antibiotic known as a Fluoroquinolone in the year before your PRP Prolotherapy treatment. Research has shown that this antibiotic disrupts collagen synthesis and will sabotage joint healing treatments.

4. If you have substandard nutrition. Poor nutrition means poor healing. This is where supplements such as MSM and glucosamine sulphate are useful to support healing and improve PRP Prolotherapy results.

5. If you are using anti inflammatory medications such as aspirin and Ibuprofen.

Inflammation is a part of healing; and anti inflammatory medications stop joint healing.

I have seen that PRP Prolotherapy is an effective medical treatment for painful and loose joints. However, for it to work you must follow instructions and be realistic.

Finally, a good way to judge reader numbers

O

ne of the amazing things about ageing is there are lessons to be learned or insights to be gained every day. Some fit logistically; some simply inspire head scratching.

That sums up the past couple weeks of HodgePodge.

A few weeks back I penned a column about the death of a friend, Craig.

During layout of the column the final two lines were accidentally chopped off.

It seems a fair number of readers were interested in knowing what the final couple of words were.

I’ve received more than 30 e-mails, phone calls, Facebook, and face-toface conversations with Podge read-

HODGE ers enquiring about the PODGE missing lines to the point

where last week we actually printed the edited comments.

I’ve been writing HodgePodge almost Charlie non-stop for nearly 40 Hodge years (many of those with the Capital News), yet aside from a couple of very controversial commentaries, seldom received so much feedback.

Within the past five decades of writing, I and others in the media business have often pondered ways to monitor what sort of readership numbers actually exist—and what or who they read.

No matter the formula there has never seemed to be a sound way to answer that question.

It seems we may have accidentally

discovered the litmus test. Simply leave off the last line or two and wait for the fall out.

In fact, that discovery has inspired me to....

••• Speaking of missing lines, I do not pretend to be psychic nor an expert at reading between the lines, however that’s precisely what my brain wants me to do with a letter sent out last week

by Kelowna city manager Ron Mattussi.

I genuinely like Mr. Mattussi and during my tenure on council I found him fair and reasonable to work with.

However, with three years as an elected Kelowna city council member I gained first-hand inside insight into how things work within the Captain’s quarters of the good ship City Hall. I gained experience in how to decipher real mean-

‘Without resolution this issue will not go away’ OIB from A8 onciliation.

Without

resolution,

this issue will not simply go away. Now is the time to solve it, not in 10 generations.

The Okanagan Indian Band is comprised of six geographically disconnected reserves spread

throughout ancestral lands with an office at the north end of the Okanagan Lake.

Chief Byron Louis, Vernon

Keep Canada in the game for international sports To the editor: The books on the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games are now closed eleven years to the day the Games were awarded to Canada. Canadians can feel proud that the financial promises made back in 2003, in Prague, for a debt-free Olympics have been kept and the vision presented for Canada’s Games was delivered.

We discovered the power of sport to unite and inspire and found that, through sport, patriotism and deep love of country can take on new dimensions.

We discovered we could compete against the best in the world and hold our own and that standing on the podium felt good, and who can forget those record-breaking 14 gold medals.

We discovered we could organize and hold an international event at the highest level, with sound fiscal management.

The final numbers are in on VANOC, and despite some predictions of doom and gloom, we finished in the black.

We discovered too that

if we invested in our athletes and great sporting facilities, that Canada could be a world leader in sport.

Our innovative national investment in the Own The Podium program to prepare our athletes was the envy of countries everywhere.

While countries have recently walked away from Olympic bids, Vancouver is surely the example of what is possible.

The Games operations were delivered for $1.85b of which about 90% was private sector funded.

Venues such as the Richmond Oval and Hillcrest are today operating at capacity with full community engagement.

One goal of the 2010 Games was to build on their success for years to come. And that is happening.

Canada will host the upcoming 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto, an event that will bring thousands of the best summer sport athletes in the world to Canada.

From June 6 to July 5 2015, Canada will also host the FIFA Women’s World Cup of soccer. As

we were preparing for the 2010 Games, FIFA was watching—and awarding—this prestigious tournament to Canada. The tournament is expected to create an economic impact of $337-million across the country.

And then there’s Vancouver’s latest attempt to attract a major international sporting tournament—the bid to secure the International Rugby Board Sevens World Series to Canada in 2016 and beyond.

If our bid for the Sevens is successful, it means Canada’s best will join the United States, Australia, Dubai, South Africa, New Zealand, Japan, Scotland, England and Hong Kong in what is emerging as one of the world’s most exciting sporting events.

The Sevens will also be a significant economic generator for our local economy. A winning bid means that we would get to host the tournament for a minimum four years, enough time to deepen our rugby culture and see the world’s best in our own stadium.

A recent report found

that holding the Sevens in South Africa’s Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium brought in 60,000 fans, 25,000 of them visitors.

The total economic benefit was in the tens of millions of dollars, creating 700 temporary and permanent jobs. There is no credible reason why Vancouver cannot achieve the same or better.

Canadians—and British Columbians in particular—are already formidable forces in international sevens rugby.

Our national men’s team is today ranked sixth in the world—our women third. We could be first.

Imagine a final game against the All Blacks at home. Possible? It is.

Rugby is also being introduced at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil. Canada will be fielding a team for Rio, so the Sevens is immensely important—a huge confidence builder and right on time.

I hope British Columbians and Canadians will support our quest to host the International Rugby Board Sevens World Series starting in 2016. But

let’s not let it end there.

Let’s build further on our success in international sports.

We have the facilities, the capacity, the athletes and volunteers and we have the will to be as good as any country. And what’s more, we have the fans craving to play their part.

At its best, sport is a democratic and social equalizer. By hosting the Pan Am Games, the FIFA Women’s World Cup, the Canada Sevens and more, we will not just continue to be part of great global events, we will show yet again that our country understands the inspiring power of sport.

John Furlong, Co-chair, Vancouver’s bid for the 2016 International Rugby Board Sevens World Series.

John Furlong was the CEO of the Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games and chairman of the Board of Canada’s Own the Podium Program.

Deciphering bafflegab from deep within city hall Hodge from A8

was to ensure that information impacting neighbourhoods (sic) was 9widely circulated and that communication flowed back and forth between the city and its citizens.

The way we communicate within our society has shifted significantly with the evolution of technology and transparency in government.

The City has established a multitude of channels and adoption of policies and standards for public involvement practices which enables citizens to be informed and to provide input.

“Now that the City has the means to connect directly with our citizens and receive input in a timely manner, it is time to refocus our efforts towards community building.

“My staff has been researching best practices and other models used in

other cities that connect municipalities to community neighbourhood associations (i.e. Portland, London, Ottawa, and Calgary) with a focus on community building.

“We appreciate the time and thought your members have already given to establishing a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and the principles guiding that document. Through further collaboration with your associations, reviewing the research we are currently conducting, the input by residents that will come out of the Strong Neighborhood initiative and further discussion of the work done to date on the draft MOU, we believe together we can build a framework that builds neighborhood capacity and addresses community needs.”

Seems to me that’s a whole lot of words that suggest city hall wants to

eliminate or reduce the true impact and involvement of some organizations by redrafting the rules of the game and the shape of the playing field.

Led by a communications department (with a staff of six or seven which is larger than many Valley media newsrooms) I cannot help but wonder if what is really at hand is bafflegab designed to reduce true input, involvement, and therefore debate on community issues.

It behoves us to observe carefully what this new ‘refocus of community building’ will really mean in the big picture.

••• Huge praise and thanks to city councillor Robert Hobson who has championed this city for more than 20 years. Robert officially announced last week that he will not seek re-election. While Hobson had stated that

fact several months back, the announcement of his retirement party in late July makes it pretty darn official.

Having served on two city councils in two different communities I have had the pleasure of meeting a number of hard working, bright, caring, thoughtful people on or

involved with municipal councils. I cannot think of one who has continuously cared and shared his or her time for a city better than Robert.

More on my friend Robert Hobson in another column. charliehodge333 @gmail.com

Police use fancy car to discourage youths from joining gangs Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Local Mounties are hoping a 2004 Nissan 350Z, which was seized in Vancouver from an alleged gangster, will keep young people away from gangs.

Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton was in town Thursday to hand the keys over to Superintendent Tim Head, the acting district officer for the Southeast District RCMP. The modified sports car has been covered with graphics, such as yellow chalk outlines on the

“This car brings a strong message to those who think (the) gang lifestyle is glamorous,” said Head.

“If you’re involved in criminal activity, your toys can be seized.”

The car was provided by the B.C. Civil Forfeiture Office as part of an anti-gang public outreach campaign.

It’s the third forfeited vehicle the office has provide to police agencies in the province.

The Abbotsford Police Department received a Hummer in 2011 and the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit was provided with a BMW SUV earlier this year. “(The car) will be used as a tool to bring youth into conversations with officers,” said Anton.

KELOWNA RCMP are optimistic their new sports car, which was seized from an

alleged gangster in Vancouver, will deter young people from gang-associated lifestyles.

RCMP a chance to connect with youth and help them build up their resistance to the influences of crime.

“We want youth…to understand that being in a gang may look enticing… but it is a very poor life choice and it usually ends badly.”

When asked whether the fancy car may illustrate the luxury of gang

life, Kelowna RCMP Supt. Nick Romanchuk said education will be important to get the proper message across.

“I think there are a number of messages that could be received,” said Romanchuk.

“But the message we’re hoping to convey is: That was a car that an alleged gangster owned, but was taken away from

him through the legal processes that are available to the police and to the province.”

The Kelowna RCMP have access to the car for the next two years. They plan to show off the new ride at community events, such as this weekend’s Keloha festival. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

Foodbank urges all to ‘join the movement’ The Westside Community Food Bank is asking the community to be part of its new Join the Movement campaign.

According to Food Bank executive director, Lenetta Parry, the movement is about people working together to re-

duce hunger through food security, better nutrition, skills building and more.

“This is the start of a movement,” she said.

The Join the Movement campaign was inspired by Parry’s dad, who is fascinated by Canadian geese.

Happy 15th Birthday Noah!!

“When I was growing up, my dad would say ‘we can learn great things from geese,’” said Parry.

“That sounded strange to me as a child, but he was right!”

By flying in formation Canadian geese can cover three times the distance they could on their own. This is also true for people who decide to work together.

“Geese symbolize what the new campaign is about. Although feeding hungry people is key, Join the Movement is about more than just food relief.

It’s a grassroots food security movement. It’s about people supporting local

groups and collaborating on gleaning, cooking, and community garden projects. It can also be about people eating local and supporting local farms and growers.”

The Westside Food Bank’s goal is to raise $15,000 in cash and $50,000 worth of food during the month of July.

Parry said there are many ways you can help, including planting an extra row of vegetables, donating excess fruit or other foods or by making a cash donation.

For more informationabout Join the Movement, contact the Westside Communty Foodbank.

two Mounties will work alongside representatives from the Central Okanagan Elizabeth Fry Society and the Ministry of Children and Family Services.

Kelowna RCMP Superintendent Nick Romanchuk said the team will work together in the same office, with the goal of keeping victims safe and holding offenders accountable.

“We expect the new unit will also be better able to connect victims immediately to needed resources and get them quickly to safety,” said Romanchuk.

Novakowski estimated the Kelowna RCMP detachment receives 1,000 to 1,500 domestic violence calls every year.

Previously, one officer was responsible for dealing with all domestic violence issues. The additional domestic violence officer, being added to this unit, will help lighten that load.

“You could have the whole detachment working on the number of calls (received),” said Novakowski.

“We’ll just be working with the very highest risk ones.”

Romanchuk said it’s the detachment’s goal to reduce repeat victimization for domestic violence by five per cent this year.

“For those who aren’t in this business, it may not sound like a lot. But this could be a tough goal to meet,” said Romanchuk.

“When we do outreach work like this, awareness goes up, and so often the reporting goes up as well.”

Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton said Kelowna’s domestic violence unit is the fifth to open in the province.

“You can imagine, when there’s been a domestic violence situation, how traumatizing it is for the family and how much they need help,” said Anton.

“This is the lifeline and the help that they need to connect them to resources and to safety in the community.”

She added the province has taken “significant action on domestic violence,” including $1 million in civil forfeiture proceeds that have gone to help develop or enhance domestic violence units in B.C., as well as the recent launch of a three-year, $5.5-million provincial domestic violence plan. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

Talented McCarthy backed by great cast

A

fter hits like The Heat (with Sandra Bullock) and Identity Thief (with Jason Batemen), it will be interesting to see if the talented and funny Melissa McCarthy can open a movie with her name alone on the marquee.

In Tammy, she plays a woman having a really bad day. She’s totalled her clunker car, gotten fired from her thankless job at a greasy burger joint and, instead of finding comfort at home, finds her husband getting comfortable with the neighbour in her own house.

She decides to escape her life, but the only one she can turn to is her

MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis grandma Pearl (Susan Sarandon)—her only option to get a car and some cash.

With her grandma riding shotgun, it was not exactly the escape to Niagara Falls that Tammy had in mind.

It is probably worth the price of admission to see Sarandon (Thelma and Louise) in another road trip movie, but with a supporting cast that in-

cludes Kathy Bates, Allison Janney, Dan Aykroyd and Gary Cole, expect another comedy hit for McCarthy.

At first glance, Deliver Us From Evil looks like an unremarkable horror flick, but not only is it from super-producer Jerry Bruckheimer (Pirates of the Caribbean), but it is based on the personal experiences of Ralph Sarchie, a 26-year NYPD veteran who was involved in over 20 cases of paranormal exorcism.

Eric Bana stars as Sarchie, who teams up with a priest to solve a case that has paranormal forces working against them.

Directed by Scott Der-

rickson (The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Sinister), it also stars Olivia Munn, Édgar Ramírez and Joel McHale.

Earth to Echo is a family sci-fi adventure that sounds very familiar—three inseparable friends are about to be torn away from each other by a highway construction project that is forcing their respective families to move away. However, just days before they are separated, they discover something beyond their wildest imaginations—a small alien who has become stranded on Earth.

In need of their help, the four friends come together to protect the alien and help him find

his way home.

This movie almost celebrates its similarity to the Steven Spielberg classic E.T. and so far the critics do not seem to mind.

However, I think the closer comparison is to another Spielberg-produced classic called Batteries Not Included, which did not have a huge box office, but people who saw it remember it fondly. I predict Earth to Echo will have a short life in theatres, but will have a long life of family home viewing.

Exhibition opens in refurbished historic Peachland school Peachland residents and visitors are being invited to the Yellow Schoolhouse Exhibition at the new Peachland Community Arts Council gallery in the old primary school in Peachland, from July 18 to Aug. 11.

UBC researchers and artists will open a monthlong interactive space where work from local artists will be displayed along with various activities that gallery visitors can enjoy, including a series of take-home or do-iton-site projects.

The goal of the Yellow Schoolhouse project is to make art and generate conversation about Peachland and the Okanagan.

How do Peachland residents experience their place? Can we imagine possibilities for development and growth in the community?

The Yellow Schoolhouse show is a chance for people to explore and imagine this place and

to share these ideas with others.

“People will have great fun at this show,” said Nancy Holmes, associate professor in the faculty of creative and critical studies at UBC Okanagan.

‘‘ PEOPLE WILL HAVE GREAT FUN AT THIS SHOW. Nancy Holmes

“We have projects where kids can create Peachland flags or maps, bulletin boards and writing walls for people to comment on a series of questions about this place, seed packets with instructions in them for people to take home and do as a family or in groups. Sen-

iors and kids organizations can come in and participate.”

All the work created will be documented and preserved, so there will be a record of what people thought about Peachland in the summer of 2014.

Also on display are paintings, poems and sound recordings that were created in a series of workshops inspired by local Peachland Community Arts Council members in conversation with interdisciplinary performance assistant professor Denise Kenney, and Holmes, who teaches creative writing.

The Yellow Schoolhouse Exhibition is located in the newly renovated primary school at 5864 Beach Ave., in Peachland. Celebrated for sheltering in its attic the largest Yuma bat colony in B.C., the building is a perfect space for the Yellow Schoolhouse Exhibition, said Holmes.

UBC researcher wins award for study of mining waste

ALISTAIR WATERS/CAPITAL NEWS

JUGGLING ACT…Kelowna street entertainer Jack Bailey juggles at the entrance to City Park and catches the eye of young passersby.

It has been a long road for UBC researcher Craig Nichol to help devise a green solution to mitigate landscape contamination from mine tailings. A joint research paper on the subject, which for various reasons took more than a decade to complete, has won top national honours.

Nichol, an assistant professor in earth and environmental sciences in the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences at UBC Okanagan, and three co-authors were recently awarded the 2014 Thomas C. Keefer Medal for the Best Paper of 2013 in hydrotechnical, transportation, or environmental engineering by the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers.

The award-winning paper examines the type and amount of materials used to cover mine tailings and how they may prevent contamination, or ‘acid rock drainage’ from the tailings.

The project began in 2000 with researchers Bonnie Dobchuk, G. Ward Wilson, and Michel Aubertin. Nichol took it over in 2003 while working with Wilson, who then held the Chair of Mining and the Environment

THE RESEARCH EXAMINES HOW MATERIALS FROM THE MINING PROCESS CAN BE USED TO COVER MINE TAILINGS at the Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering at UBC. First drafts were completed in 2004, but busy schedules kept the study on hold.

The research took place at the Detour Lake Mine, a gold find in northeastern Ontario. When the mine re-opened in 2012, the authors recognized the story needed to be told, and Nichol took the lead in getting the paper published.

Titled The Evaluation of a Single-layer Desulphurized Tailings Cover, it was published in the Canadian Geotechnical Journal in May 2013. The research examines how materials from the mining process can be used to cover mine tailings—with the goal of preventing the tailings from oxidizing and leaching into ground water sources. This process, termed acid rock drainage—when water

containing concentrations of acid and metals leaches from mine wastes—has become an environmental concern.

Dealing with mining tailings in a safe manner has proven to be an expensive process for mine operators and Nichol explains that before a mine closes, there must be plans in place for mine wastes to be covered, with the goal of re-establishing vegetation.

“Preventing acid rock drainage, or other harmful materials, leaching from mine wastes represents a large cost for current mines,” Nichol says.

“The cost of remediating historical mines with no current owners represents a large liability to the Canadian taxpayer.”

At the Detour Lake Mine, desulphurized tailings were used to cover reactive tailings, which reduces cost of ground cover construction in areas where natural soils are not available, says Nichol.

The paper details how this works. Essentially, the new ground cover creates an oxygen diffusion barrier to prevent generation of acid rock drainage from the underlying mine tailings.

▼ MENTAL HEALTH

Therapy is as close as your smart phone

T

Fridays in the Capital News

oday there are a growing number of apps and websites offering various forms of therapy for mental health issues.

Of course therapy apps have been coming ever since the invention of the smart phone.

Really, since the Internet age began, it’s been simply a matter of time before we figured out how to do some mental health care online.

In many ways this is in response to the way we tend to communicate now via social media or text message.

It makes sense for established mental health organizations to reach out in these media – especially for younger clients who tend to be very comfortable communicating over their phones or computers rather than in person.

The rise in online mental health services also has the potential to make this kind of care much more accessible both here and abroad

HEALING MINDS

Paul Latimer where there is often a real shortage of trained healthcare professionals.

Most effective treatments for mental health conditions recommend an element of psychological therapy led by a highly qualified professional such as a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist.

Unfortunately, even here in North America, we have a shortage of these professionals and it is difficult for those who need health care to get it in a timely fashion.

In developing countries the situation is often much worse.

For example, in India there are roughly 5,000 mental health professionals to service a population of about 1.2 billion

people.

Obviously, this is nowhere near sufficient.

Although we need to continue training more specialists, this will not be the only solution to the problem of access to mental health services.

Creating a new clinical psychologist or psychiatrist takes years and a lot of resources and we simply can’t catch up to demand. Some countries are looking into task shifting – training less qualified people to take on a specific task in therapy.

This is interesting and may prove useful in certain settings, but there is a concern about compromising quality of care.

Moving mental health services online will perhaps prove to be the most effective way to dramatically improve access to these services and to stretch professional expertise through program-led treatments.

Therapist-free interventions have been around for a while in the

form of self-help books and some have good evidence to show they can be effective.

Now with smartphones and high speed Internet, these resources can

‘‘

WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED.

be enhanced to be more interactive and greatly expanded. The development and use of these therapy apps and other online mental health resources will need to be monitored and researched more fully, but studies to date do show promise – particularly in depression and anxiety disorders.

One consistent finding is that these programs are most effective when

there is additional external support.

Ideally, this support would come from a call centre or non-specialist to ensure the intervention is still program-led.

I think online resources have the potential to be a very useful tool provided they are developed by professionals with a nuanced understanding of the complex issues involved in mental health conditions.

I would also caution that although online, program-led treatments may be useful for some issues, they will likely not replace the need for thoughtful professional care in many cases.

Another difficulty will likely be sifting out the good quality programs from cheap imitations, which may not be helpful and could be damaging.

Treating golfer’s elbow with traditional Chinese medicine

G

olfer’s elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is similar to tennis elbow, except that it occurs on the inside, rather than the outside, of the elbow.

Golfer’s elbow involves pain and inflammation on the inner side of the elbow, where the tendons of the forearm muscles attach to the bony bump on the inside of the elbow.

Symptoms include pain and tenderness on the inner side of the elbow (which may spread into the forearm and wrist), stiffness in the elbow, weakness in the hands and wrists, and numbness or tingling in one or more fingers (usually the ring

NEEDLE NOTES

James Kaufman and little fingers).

The pain may get worse when swinging a club or racket, squeezing or pitching a ball, shaking hands, turning a doorknob, flexing the wrist towards the forearm, or picking something up with the palm facing down.

Golfer’s elbow is caused by damage to the muscles and tendons that control the wrist and fin-

gers.

The damage is typically caused by excess or repetitive stress, particularly forceful wrist and finger motions, but it can also be caused by a sudden force or blow to the elbow or wrist.

Golfer’s elbow is not limited to golfers- many activities can lead to golfer’s elbow including racket sports, throwing sports, weight training, and any activity that uses repetitive wrist, hand or arm movement such as typing, painting, or hammering.

Rest is the best medicine for golfer’s elbow.

But golfer’s elbow that has not been allowed to heal properly or using the arm too strenuously be-

fore it has properly healed can lead to chronic elbow pain, a limited range or motion, or a lasting, fixed bend in the elbow.

‘‘

GOLFER’S ELBOW IS NOT LIMITED TO GOLFERS- MANY ACTIVITIES CAN LEAD TO GOLFER’S ELBOW.

Analyzing what motions are causing the problem can help you to change your habits to reduce stress on the elbow.

Exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles of the forearm can also help recovery and prevent re-injury.

Acupuncture can be a great option for dealing with golfer’s elbow and promoting proper healing.

With golfer’s elbow, and all types of musculo-skeletal injuries, pain is caused by stagnation of qi-energy and blood.

Acupuncture treatment focuses on removing the blockage and helping the energy and blood to flow again in order to remove pain and resolve the symptoms of an injury such as golfer’s elbow.

In addition, we look at what underlying fac-

tors have influenced the body’s health and weakened the elbow or made it vulnerable to injury.

In Chinese medicine, almost every musculo-skeletal disorder also has some relevant underlying imbalance or contributing lifestyle factor, whether it be our occupation, the exercise or sports we choose, our nutrition and diet, or our genes.

Understanding a person’s general health gives an acupuncturist insight into the internal imbalances that can further contribute to an injury.

By also treating these underlying factors, we are actually strengthening the injured area and improving health, with the goal

of preventing future reoccurrence.

In this way, acupuncture not only relieves symptoms of golfer’s elbow, but goes further to address the heart of the problem and promote proper healing, unlike other treatments which may serve only to relieve symptoms.

Indeed, acupuncture can help you get back on the course and into the swing of things.

Vernon race track grandstand destroyed Public assistance is being sought after a Vernon landmark was destroyed by fire late one night last week.

Flames roared through the Kin Race Track grandstand Wednesday at about 11:30 p.m.

“We know there were a number of witnesses who saw the fire. If they have video or copies of photos, we’d like to see them,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP

spokesperson.

“It would help us identify where the fire started.

We’d like to get to the bottom of the fire.”

Vernon firefighters were on scene within minutes of getting the initial call.

“The fire was going from one end of the grandstand to the other by the time the crews arrived,” said Jack Blair, deputy chief.

The immediate con-

cern was embers possibly starting fires in adjacent grassland.

“They got water on to it fast and made sure there were no other areas exposed,” said Blair.

The cause of the fire is not known at this time and officials are reluctant to say if it’s suspicious.

“It’s too early because we haven’t had a chance to go over the scene yet,” said Blair, adding that investigators will be sifting

through the rubble Thursday morning.

“With the recent rash of suspicious fires in the community, we will be looking at that and working with the RCMP.” The Okanagan Equestrian Society, which uses the track, plans to meet next week to discuss insurance and what options it may pursue, including possibly replacing the grandstand.

Latimer, Griffith take PGA of B.C. Pro-Assistant tourney The scores were hot as the weather at Black Mountain Golf Club this week as the course played host to the 2014 PGA of B.C. Pro-Assistants’ Championship, a two day event held Monday and Tuesday.

And perhaps it was no surprise that the host professionals came out on top of the event as Russ Latimer and Tyrel Griffith shot impressive rounds of 61 and 63 to take top spot at the event.

The duo began the week in dreamlike fashion, registering back-toback eagles on the first two holes of the tournament, and finishing day one with a commanding four-stroke lead over teams from Olympic View, Point Grey, Capilano and Fairview Mountain.

Tuesday’s scramble format led to aggressive shotmaking throughout the course, most notably on Black Mountain’s signature par-4 fifth hole, where players weren’t shy to pull out driver and fire away at the island green.

But even an unbelievable round of 57 from Fairmont Chateau Whist-

Pro-Assistants Championship this week at Black Mountain Golf Club. ler Golf Club’s Padraic O’Rourke and Jordan Rourke wasn’t enough to catch the red-hot Black Mountain duo, who closed the tournament with back-to-back birdies to secure a two-stroke victory with an 18-under

total.

“There were some difficult pin locations, we knew it was going to be tough,” noted Latimer, Black Mountain’s head professional. “We weren’t hitting it great to start the day, but we knew

their were lots of birdies out there, so if we stayed the course, things would work out.”

Latimer also heaped praise on his young playing partner, Tyrel Griffith—a highly regarded curler who played in this

year’s Tim Hortons Brier final with Team Morris, and who only recently obtained his PGA of B.C. professional status.

“He’s a champion,” Latimer said. “He knows how to compete, knows how to win.”

The Black Mountain team cash a winning cheque for $2,250 and supplemented it with $660 in skins thanks to their blazing start on Monday.

Second place was shared by O’Rourke and Rourke and Gorge Vale Golf Club’s Jim Cook and Edd Boudreau, with each team earning a cheque for $1,400.

Rob Anderson and Jamie Stevens were the

next highest finishing local pros after they tied for fifth with rounds of 66-62.

Peter Hopley and Lee Alarie of Gallagher’s tied for 7th along with Dean Claggett and Ethan Danish from Two Eagles.

Salmon Arm Secondary’s Gibb to add offence for Heat Heather Semeniuk has found her next diamondin-the-rough in Salmon Arm Secondary Jewels’ forward Haylie Gibb, who has committed to the Heat women’s basketball squad for the Canada 2014-15 season.

The 5-foot-10 Gibb led her Jewels to an upset of the powerhouse and defending B.C. champion South Kamloops in the Okanagan Valley senior girls’ final, scoring 19 points.

And though her team would later finish 12th

Haylie Gibb overall at provincials, Gibb was named a first team provincial all-star.

Now, Gibb will bring her offensive talents and

proclivity for performing in the big crunch moments to a Heat squad entering their fourth tour of Canada West and still looking for that extra boost to get them into the playoff mixture of the hyper-competitive conference.

Though a capable scorer when she needs to be, Gibb prides herself on her work ethic and defensive mindset. During her last season with Salmon Arm her team often struggled with numbers, often running an eight player roster or less due to a myr-

iad of injuries the team endured.

“For having such limited players, we had to push ourselves, individually and as a team, harder than ever to get where we wanted to go,” she said of the season.

Pushing themselves and their potential ever further got the Jewels their upset of the Titans and eventually a berth at provincials.

Naturally more of a stretch four with a good touch from behind the arc, Gibb says she expects to

play the same position with the Heat.

“Haylie will bring some much needed size to our perimeter play,” said UBC Okanagan Heat head coach Heather Semeniuk. “She is a great athlete who knows how to defend and likes to shoot the three-ball. She made her first trip to the B.C. AAA Provincials this season and showed very well.”

Always hoping to secure the top talent in the Valley coach Semeniuk is thrilled Haylie is joining

the team and cites Gibb’s development as “an indicator that talent is being developed locally.”

Constantly pushing her game further and further, Gibb not only participates in a spring league during her off-seasons but also occasionally plays in Salmon Arm’s men’s league as well.

Gibb plans to enter the Bachelor of Arts program upon joining her new team and school. She is excited about the opportunity to work with a “great coaching staff” and

also to pursue her higher education at a globally leading institution.

When reflecting about the transition from highschool competition to the university level, she added that she “(realizes) the change is going to be huge from high school ball to the CIS, but I believe I am as mentally prepared as I can be, but I know it is going to be way more physically demanding. I realize that playing at this level is going to take a lot of hard work, but I am willing to do so.”

Zakala also broke both the 100 and 200m Breastroke records, the 100m was held by Graeme Geen in 1:12.33 from 1991, while the 200m was already held by Zakala in 2:34.43.

with a fifth place showing at the provincials, held last weekend in Vancouver.

Consisting of mostly first year midget players, the Homers played like the comeback kids at the provincials coming back to win several games before falling short in the playoffs.

It was the first trip to midget provincials but the Homers had plenty of experience to lean on as the team has been to provincials at the different divisions for four years running, finishing second twice in that span.

At this year’s provincials the Homers began with two come-from-behind wins that showed what they were made of.

Down 5-2 to South Surrey, Kelowna raced back and scored seven straight to open the tournament with a 9-5 win.

Then against tournament favourite and host Richmond in game two,

THE Edgecombe Homers placed fifth at midget girls provincials. The team is (bottom

row L to R:) Courtenay Desjardins, Leigh Kiryliuk, Jennifer Milan, Josee Edgecombe (middle row) Hannah Wright, Mackenzie Somerville, Lauren Jaenicke, Cayla Laturnus, Karley U’ren, (back row) Lexi Thomas, Cassidy Cyra and Sydney Duncan. the Homers were again behind before they got rolling, coming back from a 7-2 deficit to win 8-7.

A lopsided win over Vancouver was followed by the team’s first loss of the

provincials as they fell 4-1 to Abbotsford to enter playoffs with a 3-1 record.

In the playoffs the Homers again fell behind in their first game, trailing Port Alberni 6-0 before

getting hot and putting on a hitting display that saw them score six times in their final at-bats to tie the game 6-6 and send it to extra innings.

In extra innings a colli-

sion at second base would injure Homers starting short-stop and lead-ff hitter Lauren Jaenicke and allow the lead runner to get to third before scoring the eventual winning run.

The team protested the call to no avail.

Without Jaenicke, the team kept plugging away in the double-knockout playoff, blasting the Texx Big Burgers before bowing out in its final game with a loss to Richmond which slotted them into fifth place in the tournament.

“This team has improved every year and I believe it is from the girls not wanting to let each other down and picking each other up when need to,” said coach Bob Milan.

“This is not a group of individual players but one entity and that is why they are so hard to beat and so easy to love to watch them play ball.”

HEAD butler Lionel Chadwick and Irish cob Billy, pose at Ballyfin Manor’s front entrance in Ireland.

STEVE HAGGERTY/CONTRIBUTOR

Ballyhoo, Ballyfin! Ireland as you’ve never seen it Anne Z. Cooke CONTRIBUTOR

BALLYFIN, Ireland—As the carriage circled the hill, Billy the Irish cob glanced back at Lionel Chadwick, the coachman at Ballyfin manor, as if to say, “I’m ready, old son. What about you?”

“Chirrup,” clucked Lionel, twitching the reins, the answer he always gives when they reach this spot in the road, in sight of the Slieve Bloom Mountains, in central Ireland’s horse country.

Until that moment, Billy had been clopping leisurely through the woods and beside the lake. Now he took off like a steeplechaser over a fence, galloping uphill with the carriage swaying behind. In the shake of a lamb’s

tail, as my Irish grandmother liked to is,” said Lionel, gazing at down at the neo-classic pile with a creamy-grey say, he’d hauled the carriage—and the late-Georgian manor set on a swath sandstone facade, wide front steps dead weight of Lionel and four eager of green lawn on a lake-side slope. A and an entrance tall enough to admit visitors—up and a horse and rider, over the crest.

Ballyfin was built in “Come round, 1826 by Sir Charles Billy, come round, Coote.

Designed that’s a good fella,” to impress, it sucsaid Lionel, guiding ceeded beyond his the horse to a halfwildest dreams.

letters, and recommending it on travel sites. Hotel reviewers lucky enough to have stayed in one of the house’s 15 named, uniquely furnished bedrooms have done the same, calling Ballyfin Ireland’s finest luxury inn. Is it? I haven’t seen every historic house on the Emerald Isle, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

Not only did owners Chicago residents Fred and Kay Krehbiel spend seven years and millions restoring the 35,000-square foot house, but they duplicated the original interiors with period and reproduction furnishings, 19th century-patterned toile and damask fabrics, and original colours and wall coverings.

The home is as much a masterpiece as are the paintings Ireland from A24 They filled the 80-footlong library’s shelves with antique books, topped original fireplace mantels with gold candelabra and installed Empire mirrors. The home is as much a masterpiece as are the paintings hung over fireplaces, Sheraton chests and game tables.

Grand it is. But Ballyfin is no stuffy 6-star hotel managed by a corporation and run by a martinet of a manager. The staff is certainly well trained.

But there are no career hoteliers on staff, no bell boys standing stiffly, eyes averted, and no maids in starched caps murmuring “yes ma’am,’ and “no, ma’am.”

And after visiting, I’m inclined to think that the outpouring of easy superlatives—spectacular, opulent, sumptuous, refined, magnificent, elegant, heavenly, breathtaking, and all the rest— have missed the real secret of Ballyfin’s success.

According to Managing Director Jim Reynolds, the Krehbiels restored Ballyfin as if it were “a private home, where guests would feel like friends invited down for a weekend.” The house would be luxurious but low-key, where you could wander through the library, read a book beside the fireplace, settle in any quiet corner to answer emails; or explore the estate—called by its Anglo-Norman name, a “desmesne”—on your own.

The secret—whether intentional or not— was building a staff from a pool of local people, native Irish (for the most part), who know the neighbourhood and culture. As they brought color and character to their jobs, they made Ballyfin come alive. Listening to my fellow guests gush about this or that staff member, it was obvious that those brief but personal connections were as memorable as the exceptional cuisine or the silkdraped four-poster beds.

As a guest, I, too, was greeted with a warm welcome, offered tea and a sandwich, and given an informed tour of the house. At breakfast, the waitress remembered my name, asked if I’d adjusted to jet lag, and offered the weather forecast for the day. When she thought I still looked hungry and suggested grilled tomatoes and mushrooms

For Type A visitors, there’s plenty to do beyond the estate. Most popular is a drive over the misty tops of the 2,000foot Slieve Bloom Mountains heading for Birr Castle and its botanical gardens, with lunch at a local pub. You can tour the house (Ballyfin can arrange it), a neo-Gothic monster a century overdue for restoration, is owned and occupied by the 7th Earl of Rosse and his son Patrick and family.

You’ll meet them briefly, before going on with Lorna Shannon, the guide.

Or spend a few hours in modern Ireland, shopping or pub-hopping in nearby Port Laoise (pronounced LEASH) town.

But your Ballyfin visit will be short; spend it on the estate. There’s lake fishing from the banks or in the rowboat; cycling on the estate’s 10 miles of roads;, exercising in the workout room; swimming laps in the indoor pool; arranging a breakfast at the top of the Tower, a Nor-

THE Centenary Course at Gleneagles, Scotland, has undergone a makeover to host the Ryder Cup. for accuracy from the tee.”

The project involved moving more than 50,000 tons of earth, adding and removing bunkers, improving moisture and drainage and changing the layouts of several holes.

The adjustments will be most evident on the

back nine, ideal for the Cup’s match-play format that could have the outcome going down to the wire.

Nos. 12 and 13 will be the toughest holes on the course, but the par-5 18 might be the real attention grabber. It was re-

configured into a classic risk/ reward hole. Tees were raised and the fairway lowered, letting golfers see more of the hole. A new green was installed with seven new bunkers.

“It was a little bit of a flat hole,” he explained.

“No elevation. It didn’t in-

spire as much as a closing hole should.”

The work created room for a larger gallery at 18. Jowett said that, weather permitting, the Cup will draw 45,000 spectators a day. They could be in for quite a show.

AUCHTERARDER, Scotland—One of golf’s premier events, the Ryder Cup, will be played in a familiar location in 2014 but on a course with a different look.

The biennial event, which pits teams of American and European golfers, will be Sept. 26-28 over the PGA Centenary Course at the Gleneagles Hotel. Perthshire, where Gleneagles is located, was the site for the first U.S.-British team competition in 1921. That was dubbed the International Challenge. Ryder Cup was created six years later.

The Jack Nicklaus-designed Centenary Course opened in 1993 and quickly gained a reputation as one of the world’s great venues. But for the Ryder Cup, Gleneagles opted for a makeover.

Driveway test driver Zack Spencer says today’s crossover vehicles have replaced the popular station wagon of yesteryear.

Do you agree? Is there something about the station wagon that appeals more to you?

Lexus joins the compact crossover lineup with the all-new NX. Drive The worldwide launch of the NX was held right here in B.C., driving between ultra modern Vancouver and the rustic resort of Whistler. International guests were exposed to the two sides of the NX, the polished city vehicle and the weekend getaway SUV. Powering around the mountain resort, I got my first shot at the all-new 2.0L direct inject turbocharged 4-cylinder that Lexus will use in a number of its vehicles.

With 235hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque this new power plant does a good job once the NX 200t is in motion; it is getting away from a stop that could use a bit more snap. AWD is standard across the lineup but the system is designed to run in front wheel drive as much as possible to help save fuel. Lexus has made no bones about its target; it sees the Audi Q5 as the benchmark in this class. Audi has been at the small turbocharged game a lot longer and it shows, plus the handling of the NX isn’t sharp at all. In fact, all the passengers inside the base model test vehicle noticed the top-heavy body roll.

Verdict What Lexus (Toyota) has been up to over the past ten-plus years is

producing hybrid cars in numbers nobody else can touch. This new NX is also available as a hybrid, but don’t expect any kind of show-stopping performance. Rated at just 194hp, the heavier NX 300h hybrid might be outclassed by just-as-thrifty diesel options in the market. The price of the NX 200T has not been set but if you look at the Audi Q5 as a target, expect the price to start at roughly $41,000 when it goes on sale at the end of 2014. Fuel economy has also not been set but with a direct injection turbocharged 4-cylinder under the hood, this new Lexus should be better on fuel than the larger RX350 equipped with a V6 engine.

As the small SUV market continues to grow, and this new NX certainly is one of the most eye-catching to come along in a while.

Hyundai Elantra and the Toyota Corolla follow it. The Chevrolet Cruze, currently with a starting sticker price of a few bucks more than $15,200, sits in a solid fourth place and it’s a ray of light for General Motors.

It recorded a five per cent year-over-year sales increase in the first quarter reports. Its 2014 March sales were a fraction under 50 per cent better than last year. In fact, it’s the brand’s bestseller with worldwide sales in excess of two million since its launch.

Much has been written about the Ford revival and its excellent world car products – most of which fall into the small car category.

GM does have competing products in what’s become a crowded market. The sub-compact Sonic is in the top 20 but nothing has caught fire in the way the Cruze has.

It first surfaced here in late 2010 as a globally developed and designed compact four-door sedan and five-door hatchback, replacing the outgoing Cobalt. When I drove one of the early editions, I was impressed with its design and performance, which matched any rival. It’s a car for a small family starting out or singles with a daily commute on their hands.

However, I feared the Cruze would suffer from the apparent prejudice against domestically produced small cars but its sales prove me to be a pessimist!

It may be a young’un but it’s already undergone some significant changes

and engine improvements.

Perhaps most significant among them was the introduction of a clean diesel version (pictured here) with a sticker price of around $26,000. It’s not inexpensive but Canadians like the 4.2 L/100 km highway fuel consumption offered by the 2-litre, turbocharged diesel powerplant.

The base Cruze LS is also easy on your gas budget. Its standard 6-speed manual transmission, coupled with a 1.4-litre powerplant, promises a highway fuel consumption rating of 5.4 L/100 km – the auto tranny makes that 5.6 L/100 km.

The Cruze Eco’s 1.4L turbocharged ECOTEC engine, generates 138 horses and sips 4.6 L/100 km on the highway.

It looks good today but in 2015, the Cruze gets a significant visual refresh with an updated grille and body shape that will give it more than a passing resemblance to its larger sibling Malibu. We’re told it will get significant tech changes, including an infotainment system with a driver alert text system that can be read through smart phones and over Bluetooth, plus additional USB ports, and a 4G LTE connection enabling it to function as a WiFi hot spot. The Chevrolet AppShop will allow owners to download all available apps directly to the vehicle, offering access to vehicle data, music, news, weather and travel information. No prices yet.

B.C. high school students show off their skills A hands-on ability, whatever the skill, is a talent that tends to go unrecognised and too often, it is under-appreciated, even by those who possess the talent.

That’s why I was delighted to be asked again to participate as a judge (one of five) in the annual “Show Us Your Skills” competition Bob McHugh organized by Discover Skills BC for high school students.

Students create a short video about a trade or skill that they are interested in pursuing. Prizes for the top three videos are presented to both the student and the high school that they attend.

The high level of expertise that some of these kids

already possess was remarkable and the video entries this year were outstanding.

First prize this year went to Connor Shaw, a student at Traditional Learning Academy in Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island. He was taught to weld by his uncle and at age twelve he fabricated a flat deck for a truck he was given. More recently he added a hydraulic lift system that gives the flat deck a dump feature. Connor loves welding and plans to pursue a career in a related trade. Connor will get an Apple MacBook Air and his high school will receive $2,000.

The second prize winner was Albert Leung, who

Trades can offer a rewarding and fulfilling career path with a higher than average wage level and a solid future. The trades sector in BC is expected to face an overall labour shortage by 2016 that will deepen in the following years, according to WorkBC Trades Occupations Outlook (2010-2020) report (www.workbc.ca).

A goal of this video competition is to encourage more BC students to simply consider a trade as a rewarding career alternative and entice more teach-

In the auto service industry, the highly regarded Ford ASSET technician training program is a good example. Locally, apprentices spend four months at BCIT and four months in a BC Ford dealership (mainly in the service sector, but also in other departments) on a rotational basis. They can also choose to specialize in a specific area, such as auto electronics, and get additional upgrade certification courses through Ford training.

Most apprentice programs are four years and on-the-job training is on-going, especially in the auto service industry. Changes in new technology continued on page 8

AUSTIN, TX.—I can’t think of a better time to learn how to ride or a harder time to ride.

These juxtaposing thoughts can be explained thusly.

There are so many great choices for new riders when it comes to machinery it’s hard to make a decision on what to add to your garage.

But the variety also means there are bikes to suit all.

Those wanting to get on sportbikes don’t need to start on a 250 or 300 cc, let alone a 600 cc variant.

You can get a 125 cc. Or when it comes to cruisers, you don’t have to start on a machine that might be a

little on the heavy side. You can get a competent road partner, which looks cool and doesn’t weigh south of 250 kilos.

Enter the 2015 Harley-Davidson Street 750. 222 kilos, soaking wet.

Hitting streets later this year, it’s the first new bike the American motorcycle maker has concocted from

Harley Street 750.

scratch in the last 11 years.

The last all-new bike was the V-Rod. And with a blank canvas, Harley could start from the ground up, listen to the voices of the customer and

translate that into a cruiser that is tailored to urban riding.

On the streets of Austin, Texas, a group of international media took the new machinery for a test drive.

The Street 750 really shines in slow speed environments. It thrivse in an urban setting for many reasons, the first being that Harley wanted to create a bike for the city rider. A bike that has a low-revving yet silky smooth engine and transmission, a low seat height, a favourable suspension— for all the potholes and road imperfections one might encounter, and a bike on which variety of riders can feel comfortable.

Let’s start with its allnew engine. The Street 750 is matched with a liquid-cooled—yes, liquid—749 cc, 60-deFollow us at:

gree, which gives ample acceleration when you need it, particularly when you’re accelerating from a standstill.

Not only that, it doesn’t spew unwanted heat towards the rider when they’re idling. And if you’re like me, and wear full gear even on hot, summer days, you’re incredibly grateful for that.

Furthermore, it’s paired to a 6-speed transmission.

Normally, stop-go traffic on a Harley would be a pain.

However, it wasn’t with the 750. It’s the easiest and lightest clutch I’ve worked with on any of the American motorcycle manufacturer’s bikes.

Speaking of low seat height, it measures in at 709mm (27.9-inches.)

Thanks to a narrow and lean chassis, as well as a narrow seat you can feel your feet being planted even better because you’re not losing your touchdown

ability.

The Harley 750 doesn’t carry some of the bulk people might associate with the brand, which feels good.

When it comes to the 750’s suspension, it’s not jarring and pleasantly soft—a good balance of urban comfort mixed with open road riding pleasure.

Up front, the 37mm telescopic forks and rear twin tubular externally mounted shocks absorb the bumps in the road and leave the rider feeling fine. However, after a day of logging over 200 kilometres, the rear end does feel a little sleepy.

General ergonomics are good, though I would have brought the handlebars a little closer to my body for more comfortable.

I also would have liked a little more “grab” in the front and rear brakes.

Lastly, fit and finish of the bike could have been neater. Wires were exposed. www.harley-davidson.ca

front air bags, a driver’s front side air bag, and a passenger’s front side air bag with occupant position detection system. There’s also have hill start assist on all models. The VTM4 system directs power to the front differential when extra traction is not required, helping with the fuel economy, when more traction is required, the system engages the rear differential.

Power: The 3.5 litre, 24-valve, SOHC i-VTEC V6 engine delivers 250 hp and 253 ft lbs of torque. Variable cylinder management (VCM) which shuts down two or three cylinders when not required. The five speed automatic transmission runs smoothly and very quiet when shifting. When the green ECO light comes on, I noticed the transmission was a little noisier as the engine decreased the number of cylinders in op-

eration. The Pilot has a tow rating of 2045 kg (4500 lb) Roadworthy: I took the Touring edition up some logging roads in Squamish. It was incredibly smooth as it glided over potholes and dodged ditches.

Verdict: The 2014 Honda Pilot is a reliable/spacious SUV, easy to drive around town and a real joy to drive off-road.
