News KELOWNA NORDIC SKI CLUB

Cross country ski trails in need of some fresh snow Kevin Parnell

CONTRIBUTED

kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

A warmer start to winter this year has caused some trail maintenance headaches for the ski trails looked after by the Kelowna Nordic Ski Club. An initial positive snowfall across the trail system was replaced by warmer temperatures and rain, but the snow is beginning to make a comeback.

While conditions have improved in the last week, this season has been one of the toughest starts to a cross country ski season in the past 20 years for the Kelowna Nordic ski trails.

After a solid opening with some early snow, warm and windy conditions melted much of the base in the lower regions at the Nordic ski and snowshoe trails, east of Kelowna, forcing the club to close for 10 days earlier this month.

But president Ryland Garton says conditions have improved, allowing the club to re-open.

“All three of our entrances are open now—it’s just that you have to be careful in the lower regions,” said Garton. “We’ve had this about three times in the past 20 years where we had a good snow cover and then it got warm and the rain came in.”

That rain, in combination with

warm wind, eliminated the lower level base at Kelowna Nordic and forced the closure in midDecember.

However, Garton says they have had a good amount of snow in the past week and conditions have improved.

“We’ve had 25 centimetres in the last two snow dumps but we were back to starting from nothing,” he said, noting that recent years have seen great conditions at the club.

“The last three years people have been spoiled because we got early snow in November—and lots of it— and it stayed and people looked at that as a normal year.”

With a lack of snow around the groomer storage area at the lower elevations, Garton was limited in the amount of grooming he could do.

Downed trees from the wind and debris from logging in the area made it even more difficult.

Now though, he says the snow levels have improved to where

grooming can once again take place, although still sparingly to allow the snow to accumulate.

“Conditions are still good,” he said. “As long as people are prepared to take their time and go carefully on the low areas. Once you are away from the cabin, the conditions get better.”

The Kelowna Nordic club has a membership of close to 500 people, who pay $110 per season for cross country skiing and less for a snowshoe membership.

Drop-in rates of $10 for skiing and $5 for snowshoeing apply and are taken on the honour system in drop boxes, although Garton says only about 65 per cent of the users leave the money in the drop box.

The club has about 70 kilometres of cross country ski trails and 75 kilometres of snowshoe trails and more information and updated conditions are available at kelownanordic.com. @KP_media1

CLOSE-UP

Gluten-free cooking idea adopted by business student and spouse Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Third-year Okanagan College business administration student Matthew Knegt and his wife Nicole are in the throes of a real-life adventure in business development that is focused—at least for now— on the online activities of one of the world’s best-known chefs, Britain’s Jamie Oliver.

The Knegts have been operating a small gluten-free bakery for the past three years, well-known and patronized by customers of the Kelowna Farmers’ Market.

Four Spoons Gluten Free Bakery was an enterprise born of Nicole’s need for a special diet because of her allergies and food sensitivities.

In January 2014, the couple decided to take the business down another path, one focused

on education, special diets and cookbooks.

In November, they closed their bakery. An effort to raise funds to produce the cookbook failed, but they realized during the process that what they loved to do was to produce videos.

“We thought, ‘Why not send a creative package to Jamie Oliver’s Food Tube?’ Jamie is socially focused, which we love, and his Food Tube channel is innovative and is all about quality,” said Matthew.

“We decided that if we were going to garner the attention of Oliver’s production company, we had to do something different.”

That involved getting a local company to laser-cut a large piece of cardboard in the shape of a piece of toast, and write on it “Glutenfree bread can taste like cardboard. A special-diets Food Tube channel could

A gluten-free profiterole (creampuff). help change this.” (Food Tube is the largest food-focused community in Europe and boasts nearly a million subscribers).

Nicole took the challenge of getting the production company’s attention a step further.

The video produced for consideration involved taking a recipe from one of Oliver’s latest cookbooks for profiteroles (creampuffs) and

turning it into a gluten-free, delicious recipe.

The Knegts are the only Canadians who have so far cracked the Fresh Talent playlist. Seven of the nine competitors are from London, England, and the other is from Dublin, Ireland.

The Food Tube producers have dubbed Nicole “the Canadian Queen of gluten-free baking.”

While the couple have been developing their business Matthew has been savouring his studies at Okanagan College in the business administration program, and he’s found the recipe for education remarkable.

“The small class sizes are great but what I appreciate most are the professors who can teach, impart their knowledge and bring their industry and life experiences to the classroom.”

“Our goal is to develop an online resource that will help people with special diets meet their needs,” explained Matthew. “Social responsibility is in the DNA of our company.”

While the way forward with Four Spoons isn’t mapped at this point, Knegt knows now is the time to take advantage of the opportunity provided by Oliver and his enterprises.

And that includes trying to convince as many people as possible to watch their online video and provide a thumbs up for the possible partnership between an Okanaganbased enterprise with one of the world’s best-known, socially-focused chefs.

JUNE • A study is initiated to consider the cost/benefits of building a highway bypass around Peachland.

• A local company got a three-year lease from the city to use part of Kelowna’s waterfront to create an inflatable water park on Okanagan Lake.

• A location on Elliot Road was chosen by district council for a new $8.9-million West Kelowna municipal hall and civic centre to be built. While the Greater Westside Board of Trade loved the location, some residents objected, saying the old town centre is no longer central to the far-flung West Kelowna District.

• Kelowna held a workshop with input from fewer than five residents selected in a draw, to find out what they thought City Park should look like in the future. The workshop came after heated resentment at the city’s proposal to build a tourist information centre inside City Park and the $800,000 price tag for new washrooms.

• CMHC said Kelowna is one of the most difficult places to find rental accommodations in the country. The reasons were a rebounding real estate market, higher employment in the area, increasing university

enrolment and fewer purpose-built rental units.

• A group of business owners, unified as The Rutland Unified Stakeholders’ Team, unveiled a logo and motto to brand the community. Kelowna had plans to spend $100,000 to improve Rutland’s core area.

• Of the 10 most accident-plagued intersections in the province, Kelowna was home to nine of them, ICBC reported.

• The ‘love-in’ at city hall continued as council approved selling Mill Street, linking Queensway with Bernard, to Edmontonbased Westcorp to become part of the 24-storey hotel. Various councillors dubbed the hotel “iconic” and a “landmark” building, while Mayor Walter Gray said it would “set the bar for developments in the future.” The final approval was granted in August with Kelowna city council approving a height variance over the 19-storey maximum on the Official Community Plan.

• Kelowna-based Argus Properties proposed a 26-storey hotel tower in the North End of Kelowna, at Manhattan and Sunset Drive. The project would be put on the backburner by the end of the year.

• The Westside regional Wastewater Treatment Plant left a lot to remember it by—smell mostly. West Kelowna council said the cost of eliminating odours was prohibitive. As well, solid waste byproduct was shipped away at $1,500/ truck load and residents would see the hit on their next tax bill.

• A contract to design, build and lease the Kelowna Community Health and Services Centre, was awarded to Urban Solutions Group.

The five-storey building at Doyle and Ellis would provide offices for about 800 health care workers, with a projected

completion date of summer, 2016. The city would expand existing and build new parking facilities in the area.

JULY • Food production is the top line of any history of the Okanagan. But it took more than a century to turn the locally grown produce into delectable repasts to be enjoyed by locals and culinary tourists alike. Farm-totable has been embraced

by Okanagan chefs who know their food producers as well as their patrons.

• Simone Orlando took over the helm of Ballet Kelowna, succeeding founding artistic director David LaHay. Orlando not only took the AD role but the functioning CEO of the professional dance company as well.

• A massive rock slide shut down Highway 97 between Summerland and Peachland.

• Less than a week after offering tips to prevent forest fires, West Kelowna Fire Chief Wayne Schnitzler was pointman fighting two on his turf. First up, a campfire got away in Smith Creek, followed closely by a fire on Mt. Boucherie. The Smith Creek fire, fanned by strong winds, led to evacuations through the area.

• Focusing on prolific offenders helped Kelowna RCMP get a better handle on crime in the region, bringing overall statistics down.

• Centre of Gravity and Keloha summer sports and music festivals looked to amalgamate the events for 2015. Organizer Scott Emslie said hosting successful events was a challenge and pooling resources was a better idea.

• A forest fire started above Peachland on Draught HIll near the Okanagan Connector and MacKinnon Road.

AUGUST • Local RCMP enrol a remote-controlled drone into the ranks, to assist with traffic accident reconstruction and analysis.

• A voting snafu saw the Rutland Park Society have to say no to $800,000 from Kelowna to buy the park from the society, with the money used to fix up the aging Rutland Centennial Hall. There were not enough society members at the meeting to make up the 75 per cent required to accept the deal. The city had another $400,000 ready to make improvements on the park, which had fallen into disrepair and some disrepute in recent years. Opponents to the sale were adamant the deal would ruin the park, turning it into a bus loop for public transit.

A second vote passed in October and the park was sold to Kelowna.

• Following the tailings pond breach at Mt. Polley mine near Likely B.C. this summer, it was made clear that Brenda Mine above Peachland is under provincial rules that require it to inspect, make a report and have the findings independently verified. Though Brenda has been closed for decades, its owners are required to inspect the dam every year as part of its permit to treat the water it contains.

SEPTEMBER • Robert Barr appointed executive director of the Okanagan Symphony Society.

• At its AGM, an environmental lawyer told the Okanagan Basin Water Board that First Nation water rights supersede all municipality and water licences issued in B.C. • A 52-hectare piece of land, encompassing Goat’s Peak on the Westside and 900 metres of Okanagan Lake waterfront were made a regional park in September. It preserves kokanee spawning areas and forms part of a continuous trail between W.R. Bennett Bridge and Peachland.

populated areas.

It was yet another year in the Central Okanagan in which motor vehicle accidents occurred throughout the past 12 months, sometimes with fatal consequences.

At 510 hectares, it will be co-managed by the regional district and Westbank First Nation.

OCTOBER • A plan to redevelop the Capri Centre mall shows an outdoor skating rink, public plaza, park, a mix of 2,200 residences in six- to 26-storey buildings as well as commercial and retail businesses. The 220-room Capri Hotel would remain the same.

R.G. Properties owns the mall.

• Breaking the $50,000 barrier in just three hours, the Maxine DeHart United WayRamada Hotel Breakfast Drive-thru came through again in support of the United Way fundraising campaign.

• Two of three people involved in hijacking cars and shooting at police during a July 2012 chase north along Westside Road received their sentences; Ashley Collins was found to be a drug addict in with the wrong people but did not take part in the shooting. She was given an 18-month suspended sentence and 18 months probation.

Testifying at Ellis’s trial, Wysynski changed his story, saying he was in control all the time and threatened his accomplices with being shot if they didn’t obey him. Having already been convicted he was immune from further prosecution other than perjury.

NOVEMBER • Cesar Rosales, an employee at Kelowna Flightcraft, was murdered on a Kelowna bus. It was a random attack.

Tyler Jack Newton was charged with second degree murder.

• Long-time Kelowna city councillors Robert Hobson and Andre Blanleil both retire from politics, joining Mayor Walter Gray on the sidelines for the November civic election.

And on Nov. 15, a new era in Kelowna opened with the election of one-term city councillor Colin Basran as mayor.

Incumbent mayors Doug Findlater in West Kelowna and James Baker in Lake Country were re-elected.

• Retiring Kelowna mayor Walter Gray was rewarded by the province for his civic service by being appointed

chairman of ICBC. • Mental illness played a pivotal role in the trial of Conor Frederick Grossman for the hammer bludgeoning murder of his mother in 2012. He was found not criminally responsible due to his psychosis and was sent to a psychiatric hospital in Coquitlam.

• Residents of Peachland were furious at power outages after a severe storm swept through the area. Outgoing mayor Keith Fielding said BC Hydro had to get its act together.

One would have to be a blind man not to see what is being done here in the Okanagan Valley.

Therefore, I would like to pose to you a couple of very simple and direct question that require simple, direct and honest answers: 1. As we, the taxpayers, are paying your exorbitant salary, expenses and benefits,to look after our best interests here in the Okanagan Valley, we would like to know why you have not initiated an investigation into the price fixing of gasoline ?

2. Why have you allowed such blatant activities to continue ?

3. Why are the oil companies, gas distributor and gas stations allowed to collaborate without your government stepping in and doing something about it?

4. When will you request a thorough investigation be initiated?

Your constituents will want a reply from you,not a staffer, as to when you will open a file into this criminal activity as soon as possible. lan Maclean, Kelowna

FORTIS INDIFFERENCE

Let’s change Fortis’s Residential Conservation Rate discriminates against world in which children everyone living in rural areas can’t go to school safely To the editor: Last week in Kelowna my grandchildren were attending the last day of school before holidays and celebrations began. Not for a minute did they worry that their school might be taken over by a violent militia, that they might be kidnapped, or that their whole school might be obliterated in a bloody massacre.

But this is what other children Actions around the world are more face as they fight important than for their right to words. Canada must an education.

Prime Minister stand up for the Stephen Harper children of Pakistan has rightfully and children in all deplored the latest atrocity in countries where Peshawar and school is not a safe has said that place. he stands by the people of Pakistan.

Actions are more important than words.

Canada must stand up for the children of Pakistan and children in all countries where school is not a safe place. We can do this by pledging a minimum of $120 million to the Global Partnership for Education which supports children in developing countries to go to school and get a safe education.

In honor of all those students in Pakistan who died or were injured, the Nigerian students who were kidnapped and have yet to be found, and all children unable to go to school, let’s do something to change this.

Sharon Swanson, Kelowna

To the editor: I’ve just read Fortis’ report of November 28, 2014 to the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) on the Residential Conservation Rate (RCR). Your readers may not have read it, since Fortis decided not to publicly announce it at that time.

This report shows that the RCR continues to discriminate against rural residents who have no access to natural gas.

BCUC claims that the RCR Fortis states “is intended to that there is achieve the policy action of the “no one solution” Provincial Energy but, of course, they Plan” which are indifferent to the states that “we negative impacts of must maximize our conservation their pricing system efforts” and as long as they “require the real continue to get their commitment guaranteed revenue. of all British Columbians to conservation and energy efficiency.”

However, the facts in Fortis’ report refute this claim. The RCR: • does not maximize energy conservation efforts since it encourages the majority (i.e.

68.5 per cent) of customers to consume more electricity by lowering their electricity bills “without (them) having made any efforts towards conservation behaviour” • only targets eight per cent of customers (i.e. those who use electricity for space and water heating because they have no access to natural gas) by raising their rates 42 per cent over the last 2 1/2 years on virtually all of the electricity that they consume to heat their homes • encourages rural customers to switch from environmentally-friendly technologies, such as geothermal, to wood heating that generates harmful air emissions.

Rather than encouraging all customers to conserve electricity, the RCR, in essence, “taxes” rural customers and uses the revenue to subsidize the electricity rates for urban customers.

Fortis states that there is “no one solution” but, of course, they are indifferent to the

negative impacts of their pricing system as long as they continue to get their guaranteed revenue. And the Government of B.C. apparently does not care that the BCUC has directed the implementation of a “conservation” rate that does not satisfy the objectives of the Energy Plan but rather is based on the principle that rural customers should freeze in the dark.

Rather than take responsibility for ensuring that their Energy Plan is living up to its commitments, the government is telling those of us unfairly affected to “continue working with the BCUC and Fortis to address your immediate concerns.”

The solution is quite obvious. The failings of the RCR could be addressed by either setting a higher block threshold for those customers with no access to natural gas or by returning to a flat rate for these customers and continuing the two-tier pricing for the remaining.

Unfortunately, nobody is listening.

Jon Rescorla, Joe Rich, Kelowna

To the editor: As reported in the Capital News, we see that there are spats already with the newlyelected West Kelowna council regarding who will represent our community on the regional district board, the argument being should the top councillor in the polls automatically become a regional director.

Since when are councillor positions given according to the polls? Some are elected at the top, some are in the middle and some are on the bottom, but they all must work together for the good of the community.

Council is team sport, not an “I will show you.” The election backbiting should be over as we move forward.

Unfortunately, 70 per cent of the eligible

voters don’t exercise their franchise to vote.

In Kelowna, Robert Hobson topped the polls for many election years. He was not given positions within council because of that, but because he held degrees in planning.

In West Kelowna, Coun. Duane Ophus did not receive council position appointments because of the polls, but because of his education background.

If bickering is to start on these small matters, how is West Kelowna, with its major challenges over the next four years, going to move ahead?

Kelowna woman killed in Highway 97 head-on collision

Students from Heritage Christian School join the Stitches and Stories group to do some pre-Christmas knitting at Regency Northwood Retirement Resort in Kelowna. Some of the knitters on Tuesday morning were (left to right) Lorraine Austin, Talei Cama Moroka, Alice Lundy, Annie Robideau and Mary Lumsden.

Friendships tied up over knitting needles Ladies at the Regency Northwood Retirement Resort expanded their knitting group with some unusual newcomers this year when teens from Heritage Christian School joined them.

The students had come to the retirement home in previous years to sing Christmas carols. This year they wanted to make a more personal connection with the seniors.

Delayne Cama Moroka, mom to two of the high school girls, said just singing to the seniors wasn’t satisfying the students’ nor the seniors’ needs.

“They had been wanting to hook up with the ladies there for quite some time,” Cama Moroka said of her daughters, Moana, 16, and Talei, 15.

The girls, along with several others from their school, had taken

up knitting to learn the traditional skill.

When they asked if they could join in the knitting group, the ladies were delighted.

Calling themselves Stitches and Stories, the group of about a dozen seniors always donate their knitted items—this year to the Society of Hope.

“The greatest thing is that I get to talk to them now,” the girls said.

The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a woman who died after a motor vehicle incident near Kelowna on Dec. 20, 2014.

Frances Marie Strocher, aged 48, of Kelowna, was the driver and sole occupant of a car heading southbound on Highway 97 at about 12:50 p.m. on Dec. 20 when the car was in a head-on

collision with a semi-tractor-trailer unit near Duck (Ellison) Lake.

Strocher was deceased at the scene.

The BC Coroners Service and RCMP Traffic Services continue to investigate.

The accident closed Highway 97 for more than three hours on Saturday as RCMP, fire and ambulance officials responded.

DRUNK DRIVING

Curbing a dangerous habit According to a Dec. 22 news report, a Salmon Arm man stumbled out of a pub, tripped over a curb and walked into a tree before getting into his car and taking off.

It was by the “grace of God,” if you’re into that belief system, that the drunken escapade ended with the drunk being the only victim of a single vehicle crash.

The Salmon Arm drunk is the tip of a very large iceberg. How large? A Ministry of Justice report available online indicates that British Columbia police forces are issuing approximately 2,500 alcohol or drug-related roadside prohibitions per month.

We owe a debt of gratitude to Paul Nesbitt and his team of “Designated Driver Dads,” who have been helping to get our young adult children home from the bars in Kelowna since 2009. What community heroes.

They volunteer their time during the wee hours of the weekends (1 a.m. to 3 a.m. every Friday and Saturday), helping keep our roads safe. Pick up the phone and give him a call to thank him and his team for their amazing contribution: 250-862-

6096. We owe a debt of gratitude as well to the many volunteers of Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the important work they do.

Clearly though, the statistics reflect how the important efforts of these good people are not enough.

What if each of us took a step forward with our own, small, contribution?

I am not talking about a financial donation, nor about joining Paul Nesbitt and his team of generous volunteers. I am talking about the smallest of steps that requires nothing more than a bit of awareness and courage.

Impaired driving is all around us. Instead of turning a blind eye this holiday season, speak up for road safety.

Yes, it takes courage to challenge a friend, your mom or dad, a son or daughter.

Have the discussion before judgment becomes impaired with alcohol. Bring up the subject of “getting home” at the beginning, rather than the end of the night.

Help our police officers. MADD has been promoting their “Project Red Ribbon,” which includes a commitment to report suspected impaired drivers to the police.

It is an important commitment that could save an innocent pedestrian or motorist from a lifetime of injury consequences, or death.

If each of us takes one small step forward, together we will make a real difference.

I wish all of you a safe holiday season, and wish all of us a change in driving attitudes that carries into 2015.

Don’t fall into the overeating trap during the holidays Tara Stark Contributor

Are you already feeling guilty about the holiday eating you haven’t even done?

“I always eat so much over the holidays. I’m sooo bad”—how many of us have thought that way at one time or another?

With all of the social pressure to be stick thin, it’s easy to fall into the trap of judging yourself based on the food you are eating.

If you believe your weight or your enjoyment of holiday foods makes you a lesser person, you could be eroding your self esteem and your bodyimage which can hinder your enjoyment of life and lead to disordered eating down the road.

Taking pleasure in eating is a natural part of life and something that is worthy of celebration.

Why do we associate food with our sense of worth? There are many reasons, but a common theme is a fear of weightgain and desire to be thin.

We often feel bad when we eat foods that we think do not contribute to health.

But health is not just the prevention of dietrelated diseases.

The World Health Organization defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease.

While there are certainly some foods that nourish our bodies better than others there are also foods that nurture our souls.

This holiday season; make a commitment to not criticize yourself for every gingerbread cookie you enjoy.

Serve up fruits and

vegetables in addition to sweet treats whenever you can and get outside for a daily dose of activity and fresh winter air.

Most of all, enjoy sharing time and tradition with those you love.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Hot Laps in the Subaru WRX STI with retired WRC Driver Tommi Mäkinen.

2014 car year in review

Question of the Week The price of gas has dropped significantly in recent weeks. If you plan to buy a car this year will lower prices at the pump encourage you to buy a larger vehicle?

Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC: MSRP $37,200 (AMG version is $50,500) Another vehicle that shone brightly is Mercedes-Benz’s GLA. The luxury compact crossover starts at under $40K but does so many things well. It has a hatchback, great styling and the fuel economy is quite good, too. I wouldn’t even need the AMG version to keep me happy. It’s just a stellar vehicle.

It’s hard to believe that 2014 is over.

Subaru WRX STI: Where did it go? At a time when we tend MSRP $37,995-$44,995 to reflect on what we’ve done, what we The all-new 2015 Subaru WRX STI is can do better and what was awesome, an incredible car within its own right. that brings me to my personal Car Year It has a cult following and has the in Review. street cred to back it up. And just when It takes a special vehicle or experience you think you’re getting the hang of

by Alexandra Straub to stick in my memory. Not to say that putting it around the Buttonwillow short-term memory loss is a problem but Raceway in California, you let Tommi with constant streams of information bombarding Mäkinen take you for a spin. Gosh, it’s like he could my brain, it’s not hard to forget where I was and drive ten times faster, smoother and more confidently what I was testing a week ago! in his sleep. Heck, he had one arm on the windowsill Though this is a review of wheels past, because we when he wasn’t shifting or going into a tight corner. often test vehicles well ahead of their full production Moral of the story: the car makes you feel like a hero this also points to what people will be driving in even if you can’t drive like Tommi. And what a cool 2015. experience.

Let’s start small because the micro cars might be Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat: miniscule in price, but aren’t about to disappoint.

MSRP $63,495 (but the new 2015 Challenger SXT Nissan Micra: MSRP Range, $9,998-$15,748 starts at an MSRP of $28,495) For under $10K, this pint-sized vehicle can be yours.

The name says it all. Put “Hell” in something and But just because it’s inexpensive doesn’t mean it’s you’re bound to have a helluva good time, right? cheap. And it’s a blast to drive. Sure, 109 horsepower Especially when you have 707 horsepower at your won’t get you where you need to go in a flash, but disposal. But to say I wasn’t apprehensive to take this that’s not the point of this car. Besides, for basic beast on the track at Portland International Raceway transportation, it has the goods. would be a lie. And the reason is, American muscle cars haven’t always been the pinnacle of exceptional Ford Fiesta 1.0L, $15,999 + $1,500 for the 1.0L option; for an MSRP of $17,499 handling dynamics. Sure, it has a lot of horses, but will it get me through the corner with minimal body roll?

Ford’s smallest engine available here in Canada sure Or will the steering have enough feel that I won’t be packs a lot of punch. And considering it only weighs constantly inputting actions?

98 kg when assembled, this 1.0L, 3-cylinder powerIn this case? Hell(cat) yes. I was blown away as to plant is pretty impressive. If you opt for this bitehow well this car drove, not just on the track, but on sized engine, you’ll be getting 123 horsepower and the street, too. Disclaimer: if you need to get anywhere 125 lb-ft of torque (148 lb-ft with the overboost). The quickly, this isn’t the car for you. People will talk your Fiesta was designed and engineered in Europe so it ear off about it if you give them an opportunity. isn’t bad to look at either.

Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer. QUESTION

?

MINI Cooper S: MSRP starts at $25,490 Perhaps the biggest disappointment this year comes in the shape of the MINI Cooper S. I’ve loved these cars for so long, but perhaps electronics have ruined it for me. Yes, it’s much more competent and has some great features, but I miss the days of the supercharged version. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a super fun car to drive, but the downshift rev matching in the Cooper S with the manual transmission was not amazing. It was harsh and jerky. I also feel it lost a little bit of personality along its way to adulthood. I’ll forever love them, quirks and all.

OF THE WEEK!

Safety Tip: January is one of the worst months for crashes in B.C. with approximately 23,200 on average. In poor conditions, slow down, increase your following distance and give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination.

Honda Fit: MSRP range $14,495-$21,295 The Fit is on my list because I think it is just such a fabulous little car. The Magic Seats really are magic, but the new touchscreen is a huge deterrent. I strongly dislike it. I like buttons. I don’t mind if there are a few to complement the screen but I feel it takes my eyes off the road for too long, even if I’m familiar with the system.

Five stylish sets of wheels for 2015 You can pay a fortune for a premium brand but you needn’t break the bank to buy wheels with style.

Chrysler 200 (starting MSRP $19,945) Chrysler stunned the marketplace with the introduction of its completely new 200 Sedan, resetting benchmarks for style, panache, and performance within a fiercely competitive segment. And with a starting MSRP of just $19,945, the 200 undercuts many of its competitors, yet its real strength is found in its range of trim levels and power options. The base engine is a 2.4L four-cylinder affair that feeds 184 horsepower to the front wheels through a segment-exclusive nine-speed automatic transmission. Going upscale in the 200 brings with it Chrysler’s powerful 295 horsepower Pentastar 3.6L V6 engine paired with the nine-speed autobox and all-wheel-drive traction.

Standard features include eight airbags, Keyless Enter ‘n Go, and Chrysler’s Uconnect 3.0 multimedia centre.

Options include Blind Spot Monitoring, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, and Active Park Assist. With four distinct trim levels, the Chrysler 200 can match the wherewithal of many pocketbooks while employing the latest in safety and technology to deliver an affordable upscale driving experience.

Fuel Economy: 2.4L I-4 10.2L/6.4L100km city/highway 3.6L V6 12.4L/7.5L100km city/highway Acura TLX (base MSRP $34,900) The four-door Acura TLX Sedan replaces the former TSX and TL sport sedans, merging their respective strengths into a single product positioned as the brand’s mid-level contender. With a base sticker of $34,900, the TLX delivers plenty of sport-inspired luxury built around a 206 horsepower 2.4L four-cylinder power plant fused to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Propulsion is directed frontward unless the V6 Technology Package and Acura’s Super-Handling All-Wheel-Drive system with torque vectoring are opted for. In which case, all four wheels share in 290 horsepower produced by the 3.5L SOHC i-VTEC mill.

A sophisticated nine-speed automatic transmission

and the A3 Sedan shares in that reputation with a vast array of onboard safety and protection systems.

Fuel Economy: TBD

’’

further contributes to the engaging performance of the V6-powered TLX. In addition to a more rigid body structure, the TLX provides increased safety and collision avoidance with the use of technology such as Jewel Eye LED headlights, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning, and Blind Spot Information with Cross Traffic Warning. Comfort and convenience essentials include the availability of premium 10-speaker audio along with voice-activated navigation.

Fuel Economy: 2.4L I-4 9.6L/6.6L/100km city/highway 3.5L V6 11.2L/6.9L/100km city/highway Audi A3 (base MSRP $31,100) Looking remarkably like the highly successful Audi A4 Sedan despite casting a shadow 245mm shorter, the new A3 Sedan is sure to capture the attention of entry-level Audi buyers that scorn the A3’s hatchback design despite the vehicle’s praiseworthy driving dynamics and general practicality. Pricing for the new A3 Sedan starts at $31,100 with the 170 horsepower 1.8L TFSI I-4 power plant turning the front wheels through the auspices of Audi’s six-speed S tronic automatic gearbox.

Upping the ante to $35,900 secures a 220 horsepower 2.0L TFSI I-4 connected to all four corners via Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive technology. Diesel power is also available in the A3 Sedan, though paired only with front-wheel-drive. Option combinations include Audi’s Styling Package, Navigation Package, and their sport-oriented S line Package. Audi has always been a technology leader,

Mercedes-Benz C 300 Sedan - C400 Sedan (base MSRP C 300 $43,000 C400 $51,400) Despite slotting beneath the venerable E-Class in the Mercedes-Benz hierarchy of sedans, the new C-Class Sedan takes on a notably formal appearance and a more upscale demeanor for 2015. It’s also lighter and

more powerful thanks to the extensive use of aluminum and a pair of revised engines. The C 300 receives a turbocharged 2.0L I-4 power plant capable of 241 horsepower. Need more oomph? A 3.0L twin-turbo V6 places 329 horsepower under the hood of the C 400. Both engines feed all four wheels through Mercedes-Benz’s 4MATIC all-wheel-drive technology.

The sole use of 4MATIC is a Canadian-market exclusive. continued on page A21

2015 Acura delivers plenty of sport-inspired luxury.

Five crossovers competing in Canada’s hottest market

The Lincoln MKC is just one of five high-demand crossover vehicles.

‘‘

If you want a midsized crossover that will stand out from the crowd, take a look at a 2015 Nissan Murano, and its new price tag.

’’

Bob McHugh

Crossovers are the most in demand vehicles in any market you can name.

Mazda CX-3: Freshly unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the Mazda CX-3 is an all-new compact (crossover) utility.

Like all the latest Mazda products it comes with that distinctive Kodo (Soul of Motion) styling theme and it’s the fifth in a series of the new-generation models to feature the full-package of Mazda’s ground-breaking Skyactiv (fuel-saving) technologies.

In dealers next summer (as a 2016 model), the CX-3 is expected to become a new

core vehicle in the Mazda line-up.

Power comes from a 2.0-litre gas engine linked to a six-speed automatic transmission and Mazda’s new-generation AWD system. This system employs an active torque control coupling, first used on the Mazda CX-5, plus a new and unique front wheel slip warning detection system.

New technologies available include a Mazda Connect infotainment system and its (radar based) i-Activesense active safety system.

The CX-3 has an extra long hood and a flowing shape that raises at the rear to convey a look of strength and power. Large diameter wheels are pushed to the body ends and it has a long 101.2 wheelbase. The chassis employs a lightweight torsion beam rear suspension system.

Forward positioning the front wheels allows the driver extended leg room, on the inside, and space for a hinged (organ-type design) gas pedal. Seating is provided for up to five and the rear seat occupants sit a little taller than those in the front.

Lincoln MKC: Agile, athletic and fuel-efficient are not words you probably asso-

CONTRIBUTED

ciate with Lincoln vehicles, but they can be used to describe the MKC. This allnew and attractive premium compact utility vehicle fits nicely into a revitalized Lincoln line-up that’s more in tune with today’s luxury vehicle buyer. Powered by either a 2.0-litre (10.9L/100km), or optional 2.3-litre (11.2L/100km), turbocharged four-cylinder (EcoBoost) engine, the MKC has a starting MSRP just under $40,000 and comes in three trim levels. All wheel drive is standard plus continuously controlled suspension damping, adaptive electric power-assisted steering and active (cabin) noise control are included in a group of advanced technologies called Lincoln Drive Control.

The MKC’s extra-large rear liftgate is a distinctive wraparound design that includes the full-width LED taillights. Created by using a unique hydro-forming process it gives the MKC a smooth, clean rear appearance and the wider opening provides easier access to its cargo area.

A clever optional power feature also allows handsfree operation, to open or close the liftgate, by using a kicking action.

Toyota Highlander: This third generation of Toyota Highlander is sleeker, more fuel-efficient and larger, with three rows of seating, for up to eight occupants.

It’s also available in four (3.5-litre) V6 engine editions plus three (V6) hybrid powertrain editions.

The fuel-frugal base LE trim ($31,975) is the only front-drive version. Limited ($45,395) is the top-line all-wheel drive edition and hybrid editions range from $44,015 to $52,990. The 3.5-litre V-6 can generate 270-horsepower and it’s mated to six-speed automatic transmission. Towing is rated at 2,268 kg (5,000 lbs) and a transmission cooler is standard, however, the tow hitch, with a wiring harness, is an option.

While you gain the cool-factor of its utility, as a people-mover it can’t match the practicality of a minivan. Maximum cargo

space of 2,370 litres (with second and third rows folded) isn’t close to the Toyota Sienna minivan’s 4,247 litres. Then again, Highlander has real off-road credentials. Good ground clearance, hill-decent and four-wheel-drive locking features keep Highlander in-touch with its roots.

Nissan Murano: If you want a mid-sized crossover that will stand out from the crowd, take a look at a 2015 Nissan Murano, and its new price tag. This third-generation design takes the Murano’s car-like styling to a new level in the utility segment.

It’s offered in four trim levels—S ($29,998), SV, SL and Platinum and there’s a choice of front-wheel (S, SV) or all-wheel drive (SV, SL, Platinum).

The start price has been reduced by $4,500 (versus the 2014 Murano S) and prices have dropped on

almost all trim levels, even though the new Murano comes with more equipment. Power comes from a 3.5-litre V6 engine connected to an Xtronic (CVT) transmission.

The 2015 Murano has reduced weight (approximately 145 pounds) versus the previous generation, low rolling resistance tires, air grille shutter, low 0.31 Cd, underbody covers that enhance underbody airflow and improvements to the Xtronic transmission.

Honda CR-V: There are many very good reasons why the Honda CR-V is Canada’s best-selling utility vehicle and it gets significant enhancements for the 2015 model year.

Honda claims this is the most significant mid-model cycle refresh in its history and the changes include a new direct-injected Earth Dreams Technology i-VTEC engine and a continuously

variable transmission (CVT).

Although the current (2014) CR-V provides good fuel economy, the new powertrain combo is even better. When both model years are measured with the new NR CAN’s 5-cycle test method, the combined fuel savings for a frontdrive 2015 edition is 1.3 L/100km and the 2015 all-wheel-drive version is 1.1 L/100km more frugal than its predecessor.

In addition to enhanced exterior and interior styling, CR-V also gets a new suite of Honda Sensing safety and driver assistive features, plus some new standard and available features. And there’s more good news, the 2015 Honda CR-V comes with a lower start manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $25,990. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc. ca

For true driver-oriented motoring, both vehicles can be fitted with a 6-speed manual gearbox in place of the new 8-speed automatic transmission. BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive traction is also available, but can only be paired with the automatic transmission.

With the availability of a manual gearbox backed by a choice of turbocharged power plants, the new BMW 2-Series may just be the “ultimate driving machine.”

Along with new sheet metal and a lavishly-appointed cabin, the C-Class is equipped with the latest generation of COMMAND

by Mercedes-Benz. This highly sophisticated infotainment/navigation system is lifted directly from the S-Class flagship.

Audiophiles will appreciate the availability of Burmester surround-sound audio components, which are hand-made in Germany.

BMW 228i – M235i (base MSRP 228i $36,000 M235i $48,750) Reminiscent of the legendary 1968 BMW 2002 Coupe, today’s 228i and M235i Coupes combine the outstanding driving dynamics of the stubby BMW 1-Series Coupe, which they replace, with a sleeker, more aggressive interpretation of the iconic brand’s ethos. The 228i is the tamer of the pair, but with 241 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque, its 2.0L twin-turbocharged I-4 engine delivers highly spirited performance nonetheless. If outright exhilaration is the target, the M235i is the ticket. Its twin-turbocharged 3.0L I-6 mill produces 322 horsepower and

Sports WHL HOCKEY

Rockets to build on solid first half Warren Henderson Much like last season, the Kelowna Rockets pretty much dominated the first half of the 20140-15 Western Hockey League campaign.

But unlike the second half of last season, Tyson Baillie and his Rockets teammates have much grander plans for the eventual outcome this spring.

A third-round playoff loss to the Portland Winterhawks last April still sticks in the craw of the team’s returning players.

A year older, more experienced and with a bolstered roster, the Kelowna centre said the Rockets are better equipped to take that extra step in the spring of 2015.

“We weren’t satisfied last year, coming up short in the the playoffs wasn’t what we had planned,” said Baillie, who has 23 goals and 38 points in 35 games. “We feel like we learned from that and are ready to go a few steps further. We need to buckle down this time and get it done.”

At 28-5-3-0, the Rockets are slightly behind last year’s pace but are arguably a more well-rounded team than the 2013-14 squad.

Kelowna shored up its defensive corps with the acquisition of Josh Morrissey from Prince

BRAD WATSON/CALGARY HITMEN

whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Centre Tyson Baillie and the Kelowna Rockets return to action Saturday night when they host the Kamloops Blazers.

Albert, a first round draft pick of the Winnipeg Jets who is considered one of junior hockey’s elite defenceman.

Along captain Madison Bowey, Morrissey— both of whom are with Team Canada at the world junior hockey championship—give the Rockets one of the WHL’s best blue line corps.

“Having two players of their caliber should really benefit our team down the stretch,” said Rockets

head coach Dan Lambert.

“They’re both excellent hockey players and good leaders and should be able to give direction to the rest of our defence, which is still pretty young.”

While Bowey and Morrissey won’t be back until the first week of January, the Rockets will get a boost from the return of Rourke Chartier.

The 18-year-old centre, who leads the WHL in goal scoring with 32 in 30

games, was released last week from the Canadian junior team selection camp.

While disappointed in not making the final roster, Chartier said he has plenty to look forward to over the last half of the WHL season.

“I have a good team and a good group of guys to go back to, and I’m looking forward to seeing what we can do in the playoffs,” said Chartier.

Included with the many

highlights of the season’s first half—including Nick Merkley’s league-leading 55 points—there were also some challenging times for the club.

Altough they are an inevitable part of the business, the trades of longtime teammates Jesse Lees, Austin Glover, Carter Rigby and Colton Heffley weren’t easy to accept for Rockets players.

Still, Baillie and his teammates understand the cost of constructing a championship team.

“Because you grow so close to guys and become such good friends, it’s tough,” Baillie said. “You spend every day together for eight months of the year, then they’re just gone. But the other side of that is, we got some really good players in Josh Morrissey and Gage Quinney, and we’re building a team that can take a run at it.”

And with just two 20-year-old players on the roster—Tyrell Goulbourne and Cole Martin—it’s likely Rockets GM Bruce Hamilton will have something more to divulge before the Jan. 10 trade deadline.

The Rockets return to action Saturday night when they host the Kamloops Blazers.

On Tuesday, the Prince George Cougars will visit Prospera Place. @capnewsports.ca

BCHL HOCKEY

Warriors in Trail Sunday The BCHL’s holiday break ends Sunday for the West Kelowna Warriors who return to action in Trail against the Smoke Eaters.

It’s first of a homeand-home set between the teams who will meet again on Tuesday, Dec. 30 at Royal LePage. Face off is 7 p.m.

With their top two goaltenders sidelined, Andy Desautels and Scott Patton, the Warriors dropped their last two games before Christmas to the firstplace Penticton Vees, 4-2 and 7-2.

West Kelowna (18-120-5) remains in the midst of a tight race in the Interior Division.

While the Vees (59 points) are pulling away from the pack, secondplace Vernon (47 points) leads the Warriors by six and fourth-place Merritt

Calgary’s Sarah Histed will join the UBC Okanagan women’s soccer team in 2015.

UBCO SOCCER

CONTRIBUTED

Vernon product to join Heat women’s soccer Heat coach Claire Paterson went out-ofprovince, in a manner of speaking, for her latest women’s soccer recruit in Sarah Histed. A senior fullback at St. Francis in Calgary, Histed will pack her boxes and move to the Okanagan next fall, a place she has already called home before.

Sarah started developing her soccer chops playing community soccer in her hometown Vernon. She eventually relocated to Kamloops when her stock rose to a level that caught the attention of the Kamloops Development Team, where she would play next. It wasn’t long before she was on the road again, this time to Calgary, where she was

immediately selected to play at the tier one level.

Histed has competed in two provincial tournaments and played in Vancouver Whitecaps, President’s Day, and Surf Cup Show Case tournaments in addition to her regular duty with her high school squad.

A versatile player with high work ethic, her 2012 Alberta provincial team made the trek to

Nova Scotia to compete in the National All Star tournament.

“Sarah is a very good athlete who is quick and creative on the field,” said Paterson, Histed’s new coach as of next fall when Heat women’s soccer takes to the pitch again. “As a first year fullback for our team we are looking forward to working with her as she grows as a player in the

CIS.” “I was really impressed with the school and coaching staff and loved the atmosphere of the campus,” Histed said of a visit to her new Okanagan home in a few months.

“I am really excited to be returning to the Okanagan to play soccer with the UBCO Heat and make a contribution to this young university’s athletic program.”

Scott rink returns to Tourney of Hearts provincials It’s largely a new rink, but the goal remains the same for Kelly Scott.

Next month, the Kelowna skip will be looking for yet another trip to the Scotties Tournament of Hearts national women’s curling championship.

Scott, a six-time B.C. champ, will be joined by new third Shannon Aleksic, new second Karla Thomson, and returning lead Sarah Pyke (Wazney) at the B.C. women’s curling championship Jan. 21 to 25 at the Golden Ears Winter Club in Maple Ridge.

Thanks to finishing first in the province in the CTRS (Canadian Team

Ranking System), Scott earned an automatic berth into provincials.

With her newlyconfigured team, Scott had a relatively quiet yet successful season on the World Curling Tour circuit.

The Kelowna rink played in four WCT events, qualifying in three while reaching the final both in Kamloops and Maple Ridge.

Eight rinks will compete at the B.C. finals.

skipped by New Westminster’s Brent Pierce, qualified as the top team in the CTRS standings. Third Jeff Richard, second Tyler Orme and lead Dave Harper round out the lineup.

Kelowna’s Kevin MacKenzie is throwing last rocks for the Grant Dezura rink, which also includes Jamie Smith and Kevin Reckseidler.

Defending champion Jim Cotter and his Vernon/Kelowna rink will be among the favourites in the 16-rink field. He’s joined by Ryan Kuhn, Tyrel Griffith and Rick Sawatsky.

VERNON KAPLER a longtime resident of Rutland, entered the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ on December 19th, 2014. He is survived by his wife, Patricia (Pat), and two sons, Vincent and Gordon and their families, as well as several nieces and nephews. Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main interest in life was God, whom he served most faithfully since he discovered Christ approximately forty years ago. His experiences ministering to many people could fill a sizeable book. He truly had a servantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart, and those who knew him well celebrate his homecoming. A memorial service is being held on Monday, December 29th at Evangel Church (Gordon Drive) @ 11:00 am.

Sunset off the Big Island of Hawaii.

Avoid the crowds on Hilo side of Big Island Pam LeBlanc contributor

The idea of staying at a giant resort in Hawaii sort of gives me hives.

You can have my slot in the traffic jam of recliners on a crowded beach; you can take my place in line at the tourist-packed luau. I prefer low-key, oldschool and laid-back.

That’s what we found on the Hilo side of the Big Island of Hawaii, where

my husband and I, along with my two sisters and their husbands, traveled in May for a birthday celebration we dubbed the “Hawaii 5-0” trip.

We came back sunburned. One of my sisters stepped on a sea urchin and still has pieces of its spine embedded in her foot. I strained my back boogie boarding.

All in all, we deemed it a rousing success.

We stayed part of the

time at a three-bedroom house along a lava cliff off a dirt road in a beachside neighbourhood about 45 minutes south of Hilo. We stocked up on groceries, picked up fresh fruits and unfamiliar veggies from local farmers markets (winged beans, anyone?) and cooked in most nights.

During the days, we explored. We snorkeled, visited parks and sampled local food. We rambled

over dirt roads on old cruiser bicycles we found stashed in the garage.

I went for long, solitary runs. I gazed at dolphins surfacing in the sea. We napped. We sipped wine and ate fish grilled on the back deck.

The bullet points?

Volcanoes created the chain of Hawaiian islands, and they’re still adding land mass. At Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, about 45 minutes from

Hilo, you can see an active one.

While you’re there, take time to stroll through a lava tube so big it feels like you’re in the New York subway. Check the seismic equipment, which constantly monitors the park for pending eruptions. Hike across desolate terrain carpeted in fine gravel. Marvel at “lava trees” created when hot lava encases trees in its path, killing them but

leaving behind hollow shells. After the sun sets, see what looks like molten red biscuit batter at the centre of a glowing crater.

The park covers 380,000 acres, including Mauna Loa, the single biggest mountain in the world if you measure it from its base beneath the sea to its peak. For a good overview, drive along Crater Rim Drive, stopping at the pull-outs

so you get an up-close look at this ever-changing place. Then get out and look for a bit of Pele’s hair, which is what the locals call the fragile strands of volcanic glass that cling to plants around volcanoes.

Another day, head for the hippie-dippy town of Pahoa. We strolled its funky streets, buying fish jerky (not so good) on a

street corner, poking our heads into a few eclectic shops and dining at the amazing Kaleo’s, which serves Hawaiian-style Asian-influenced dishes.

In June, a lava flow began encroaching on the town, moving at a clip of 440 yards a day but threatening to cross roads and take out homes.

According to recent reports, a finger of molten lava is headed toward the Pahoa Marketplace and could reach the shopping centre sometime in late December. Some residents will likely have to move.

the Kapoho Tide Pools will make you feel like you’re swimming in an aquarium. A protective reef curls around a patchwork of pools that range in size from pickup trucks to grocery stores, and they’re teeming with butterflyfish, tangs and parrotfish. Even beginners will feel safe on all but the roughest days. The area is protected—officially, it’s known as Wai’opae Tidepools Marine Life Conservation District, although everyone calls it Kapoho after the adjacent neighbourhood.

To learn more about local history, we spent a morning at Pu’uhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park, situated southeast of Kona along a sheltered bay. The site once served as a residence for royal chiefs.

But just across a massive wall lay the Place of Refuge, where defeated warriors and those who violated sacred laws were banished.

Today you can listen to storytellers, learn about old Hawaiian customs and stroll among the remains of the structures.

You can also go for a spectacular hike along the adjacent coastline, picking your way along the lava cliffs, dodging huge blasts of water that

On the other, northwestern side of Kona, we liked Hapuna Beach State Recreation Area, although it’s not exactly a secret beach.

We frolicked in the waves alongside several hundred of our closest friends, and even said hi to a tiresized sea turtle that swam within a few feet.

Other tips? Stop frequently for caffeine.

I’m not even a coffee drinker, but I joined in the fun as we paused for taste tests at roadside coffee stands.

too. It’s a local specialty— marinated raw fish, seasoned different ways. We liked Da Poke Shack, which has several outposts around the island. Eat it on the picnic table outside.

Even better, stop for a malasada. These heavenly bits of fried dough are the Portuguese equivalent of a sopaipilla—yeasty, deep-fried and rolled in sugar, then injected with fillings such as Bavarian cream, guava, apple or apricot. When driving from Hilo to Kona, look for Tex Drive In, which is famous for its malasadas—for good reason.

Most of all, go little, not big. Take it slow, not fast. Take off your shoes and wiggle your toes in the sand. Stay curious. Try new things. Explore like a kid.

And don’t stay in a big, touristy compound.

Both of these artists have explored the connection they have felt with the natural world and conveyed in their respective works.

With Burtynsky, the art gallery will showcase almost a mini retrospective, as the selection for the show begins with his first professional images, shot in the early 1980s in British Columbia.

His marble quarry images from the early 1990s follow, and then come the superfamous bright red nickel mine tailings, shot near Sudbury, Ont., in the mid90s.

The exhibition contains some examples of Burtynsky’s work in China, and ends with a recent photograph of an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and an erosion control scene in Iceland.

His works explore the human imprint on the planet and are startlingly beautiful despite their grim subject matter.

Emily Carr has become one of Canada’s cultural heroes. Fighting against

the repression of her own culture and going it alone as an artist, Carr led a challenging and very difficult life.

The selection of works for this show centre around her depictions of logging and gravel quarrying, both human incursions into the pristine rainforest environment that she so adored.

Three of the paintings

by Carr in this exhibit have been borrowed from the collection of the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.

An opening reception for this exhibition takes place Friday, Jan. 16, 2015, from 7 to 9 p.m., at the Kelowna Art Gallery.

THEATRE Bumbershoot Children’s Theatre production of The Elves and the Shoemaker Until Dec. 31 Bumbershoot Theatre 124-1295 Cannery Lane Kelowna A festive theme has been chosen for the final Bumbershoot Children’s Theatre production of its sixth season.

The heartwarming story of “The Elves and the Shoemaker” will go on stage both before and immediately after Christmas for an expanded run.

Leading the cast will be Kelowna actors Jeff Samin, as the shoemaker, and Christina Neale, as his wife.

As with the original

children’s story, playwright Mike Kenny’s take on the classic finds the shoemaker and his wife cold and hungry with bleak prospects since they are down to their last piece of leather.

Then, in the dark of the night, help creeps into their house as two friendly elves get to work and surprise the couple with finished shoes in the morning. From there, the elves’ generosity allows the couple to prosper.

Bumbershoot artistic director Tracy Ross explained that the production will gently explore the themes of generosity and greed in the days leading up to Christmas.

The community involvement partner for this production will be the Gospel Mission.

The production is being staged at the Bumbershoot Theatre, 125-1295 Cannery Lane in Kelowna’s Cultural District.

Directing the cast will be guest director Angela Lavender. Tickets are available at the Bumbershoot Box Office, 125-1295 Cannery Lane, or by calling 778-4780142.

More information on the new Bumbershoot season as well as its other activities can be found online at bumbershoottheatre. com.

EVENT Kelowna Polar Bear Dip Thursday, Jan. 1 Noon .

Waterfront Park Kelowna A fundraiser for CRIS Adaptive Adventures will attempt to revive a New

Year’s Day tradition in Kelowna, the Polar Bear Dip in the frigid winter water of Okanagan Lake.

It’s not just an event; it’s an experience that has become a winter-time tradition for thousands of warm-hearted plungers around the world.

CRIS is currently looking for potential participants, sponsors and spectators to join in this fun event.

A variety of cultural performances, live bands and enthralling presenters are planned along with the swimming festivities.

The fundraising aspect of the Polar Bear Swim is to build a fully accessible new facility for CRIS on Mission Creek.

This will allow us to expand the scope of our operations and fulfill as many dreams as possible.

All contributions will make a serious impact on the lives of people living with serious cognitive and physical disabilities.

NEW MOVIES

Christmas holidays always busy time for local theatres With Christmas Day having come and gone, Movie Guy most people have already opened their gifts, but movie theatres still offer a few more RICK DAVIS gifts for movie lovers.

Based upon the popular Broadway musical, Disney’s Into The Woods gives a twist on several of the beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tales, intertwining plots of a few choice stories including Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk and Rapunzel.

All those plot lines are tied together in an original story involving a baker and his wife and their interaction with a witch that has put a curse on them.

With music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and directed by Academy Award winner Rob Marshall (Chicago), the film stars Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Anna Kendrick, James Corden, Chris Pine and Johnny Depp. It is nominated for three Golden Globe awards including Best Musical or Comedy.

Unbroken is the anticipated true story of Olympian and war hero Louis “Louie” Zamperini, directed by Angelina Jolie.

Zamperini was one of three men who survived in a raft for 47 days after a plane crash during World War II only to be caught by the Japanese Navy and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp.

It is an unbelievable and inspiring true story about the resilient power of the human spirit which surprised many

when it was shut out of the Golden Globe nominations.

Tim Burton’s Big Eyes did acquire some Golden Globe nominations for stars Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz. It is the true story of Walter Keane, an artist during the 1950s and ‘60s who gained notoriety with paintings of waifs with big eyes. However, that was only the beginning of his notoriety because it was actually his wife Margaret, who created the paintings.

In The Gambler, Mark Wahlberg plays a risk taker who is both an English professor and a high-stakes gambler.

He bets it all when he borrows from a gangster and offers his own life as collateral. It is a remake of the 1974 movie of the same name starring James Caan. The remake also stars John Goodman, Jessica Lange and Brie Larsen.

And finally, the highly anticipated The Imitation Game arrives in Kelowna on Dec. 26 at the Paramount Theatre.

Based on another true story, Benedict Cumberbatch plays Alan Turning, a mathematician, cryptanalyst and World War II hero who is not only credited with cracking the so-called unbreakable codes of Germany’s Enigma machine, but ushered in the modern age of computing. However, his personal life would be his undoing. It is nominated for five Golden Globes including Best Motion Picture for a drama.

achievement,” said Stephen Leckie, CEO and co-founder of Gold Medal Plates and the Canadian Culinary Championships.

“All three competitions over two days in February to place Canada’s top chefs on the podium, are wildly exciting. To top it all off, our Kelowna audience gets to meet the competing chefs, each with a fire in their belly, and be entertained by some of our country’s best musical talents. And it is so much fun that it’s easy to forget that the whole endeavor has raised $8.2 million and counting for Canadian Olympic Foundation, in support of Canadian Olympic athletes.”

Bentall is equally delighted about the teaming-up with his musical partners.“I am excited to once again be a part of the Canadian Culinary Championships in Kelowna and particularly thrilled to be performing with members of Spirit of the West. Geoffrey, John and I go back over 30 years! John has gone public regarding his struggle with early onset Alzheimer’s. I have been performing with John lately and his courage and grace have been very touching and inspiring.”
