Armed withAWARDS

Judie SteevesSTAFF REPORTER

Rapid expansion in the number of Okanagan wineries in recent years is enough to make a wine quaffer’s head spin—even before the fi rst sip.

But, all is not lost.Judges for the spring Best of Varietal competition, the

fall B.C. Wine Awards and the provincial Lieutenant-Governor’s Awards of Excellence can help lead you through the jumble of labels and winery identities, varietals and wine names to the best wines to try.

Tasting opportunities are also available throughout the fall Okanagan Wine Festival which wraps up this weekend.

The wine festival society’s judging chairman is Master of Wine Rhys Pender of WinePlus, who says the awards are a very valuable tool for consumers to use in selecting wines to try.

With new wineries popping up all over, it’s pretty hit and miss, he admitted. Although some have a good understanding of what they’re doing: of how to grow good grapes and what quality wine is, he is concerned that there are also some who make you wonder what they’re doing.

“If you don’t particularly like wine, it’s diffi cult to make good wine,” he said. “And, you need to grow good grapes fi rst.”

2011 MAZDA CX-7

The fall awards are professionally judged and those professional wine judges rejected about half the wines submitted, awarding bronze, silver and gold medals to about 250 valley wines.

“They were harsh judges,” commented Pen-der.

In the spring contest, local winemakers judge the wines of their peers by varietal. Results for both contests are avail-able on the society web-site at: www.thewinefesti-vals.com

The Vintners’ Quality Alliance (VQA) program is also a good tool to use in establishing that a wine has no technical faults.

In the Central Oka-nagan alone there are now more than two dozen win-eries, including more than half that are new in the past decade—and most of them popped up in just the past few years.

While some produce indifferent wines, many are receiving international awards, as well as recog-nition provincially, for the quality of their products.

And one, Volcan-ic Hills Estate Winery, was judged the best new winery, and received fi ve medals for individ-ual wines last week in this fall’s competition.

The winery just opened its new building a little over a year ago on busy Mt. Boucherie Road in West Kelowna, but sev-eral generations of the family has grown apples and then grapes in the

area for decades.“It’s been a good

year,” commented Bobby Gidda, who looks after the cellar, sales and mar-keting. The winery also received a Lieutenant-Governor’s award for its

rose wine this year, and two of the three wines they entered in this year’s people’s choice awards were chosen as tops and the third received a second place award.

His older sister Chris-

tina Tumber looks after the accounting and mer-chandising and is the wineshop manager, while younger brother, 19-year-old Amit Gidda, is a cel-lar worker, works in the wineshop and handles shipping and customer service.

It was their father Sar-wan’s dream to open the winery, and he still takes charge of farming the 60 acres of grapes and 20 acres of orchard the family owns in West Ke-lowna.

The family previous-ly owned one of the lar-

gest apple operations in the valley, then one of the largest grape acreages, but after starting Mt. Bouche-rie Estate Winery a dec-ade ago, Sarwan and his family went their separate ways in recent years from his two Gidda brothers, leaving them with vine-yards in nearby Lakeview Heights and in the south of the valley to Cawston.

At 26, Bobby Gidda has completed his Bach-elor of Business Ad-ministration at Okanag-an College, and worked there for a couple of years while taking wine indus-

try courses at the Pentic-ton campus.

The new winery boasts a 4,000-square-foot wine shop, one of the largest in the val-ley, notes Christina. They plan to stay open through the winter, seven days a week.

They expanded the fa-cility as they were build-ing it and plans are to add food service for their pat-io and meeting rooms, which have a view out over Okanagan Lake, per-haps next year.

They applied 19 months ago for a spe-cial occasion license, but they’ve found getting through the paperwork for such licenses is daunting.

Winemaker is Daniel Bontorin, and they pro-duced 8,000 cases of wine this year, double that of the previous year. The goal is to increase that to 10,000 in the near fu-ture, as there is demand, since they have the grapes available.

The name comes from their presence on a 60-million-year-old vol-cano, Mt. Boucherie.

MT. BOUCHERIEThe adjacent Mt.

Boucherie Estate Winery also placed in the med-als at last week’s competi-tion, bringing home three bronze and one silver.

Nirmal Gidda owns

the winery with his broth-er Kaldep, who manages the 300 acres of vine-yards, and lives in Oka-nagan Falls.

Apple trees were ripped out and the Lake-view Heights orchard converted to grapes nine years ago, and Gidda says it was the best deci-sion he’s ever made, even though it was expensive.

He says he knew his children would not go

on to become orchard-ists because there wasn’t any money in it, but he is hopeful they will be inter-ested in moving into the winery business one day. Both brothers have three children.

Jim Faulkner is the full-time winemaker and the winery produces 25,000 cases a year. Only their own grapes are used in making their wines, so they have complete con-

trol over such details as cropping levels.

“The vineyard plays a major role in the wines,” he comments.

Gidda points to a spot beside the winery build-ing, separate from the production facility, where he says they may, one day, build a restaurant with a view of the lake.

SPIERHEADAlthough it has only

been open for a little over a year, Spierhead Winery in East Kelowna picked up three medals in the competition.

Owners Brian Sprout, a Kelowna Second-ary school buddy, Bill Knutson and Bruce Hir-tle bring very different skills to the table, but the winery is really Sprout’s dream, fed by a decade of professionally photo-graphing wine country

for a number of high pro-fi le area wineries, includ-ing Mission Hill, Quails’ Gate and CedarCreek.

With consultation from former CedarCreek winemaker Tom DiBello, Sprout produced 500 cases the fi rst year and 1,100 this year. The pi-not noir hasn’t been bot-tled yet.

The fi rst grapes on the 20-acre property he bought from the Turton family were planted in 2008, and he has sourced the reds from Harry Mc-Watters’ Black Sage Vineyard, since he only has seven acres planted so far.

Because the three partners couldn’t agree on a name, it was the result of a naming contest run through the classifi ed sec-tion of the Kelowna Cap-ital News, and the win-ner turned out to be an-

other colleague from high school.

Sprout actually began in the wine industry while in high school, on the bot-tling line at Calona Wines, from 1971 to 1973.

His intention never was to become a farmer. “There’s a lot of physical labour involved,” he com-ments wryly. However, he is fi nding the farming very satisfying.

He does intend to get back to doing photog-raphy as well, though.

His wife, Virginia is an artist and landscap-er, and they hope to hold some artists’ workshops at the facility, incorporat-ing wine, food and art in the same events.

THE VIEWAnother Kelow-

na-born winery owner opened The View Win-ery in 2007 in a 1922-era

packinghouse on family property near Sprout’s winery.

Jennifer Molgat is the fi fth generation of her family on the Turton property, where apples were historically grown, and where some are still grown by her father, Chris Turton.

Molgat admits she was apologetic at fi rst about the old, industrial surroundings, but many people commented fa-vourably on the history of the winery’s tasting room, so now she builds on that.

The fi rst vintage was 500 cases, but last year the View sold out all 2,800 cases. Bernard Schirrmeister is the wine-maker.

Molgat,who is a teacher, says she is real-ly enjoying the sales and marketing side of the win-ery. The quirky label de-sign, featuring a red stil-etto heel corking a bot-tle of wine was actually husband Kent’s inspira-tion after an evening out without the kids. “He just corked our empty bottle with my red stiletto and I knew that was it,” recalls Molgat.

She now has some seven pairs and says she has to wear them every-where because people al-ways ask where they are.

“It’s fun and wine is fun,” she comments.

And that has sustained her on what has been a steep learning curve, ad-justing to being president of a winery instead of a classroom teacher.

“I use the same class-room skills in dealing with adults as I did with the kids. And, I’m extro-verted, so it’s a good fi t,” she laughs.

The fun label is a good fi t with the younger demographic she hopes to attract, and so is the use of Twitter and Facebook.

But, winning awards crosses all demographic borders.

“We’ve consistently done well at competitions and I believe that’s been good for us,” she says.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Traditionally, as a sign of gratitude, pilgrims would make huge feasts from the crops they had grown throughout the year. Thanksgiving marked a time when those who normally went without, shared their yields with loved ones and neighbours. Today Thanksgiving is a time when friends and family come together to give thanks

for good food, great company, and elastic waistbands!

Emotions are run-ning high at the prelimin-ary hearing into the death of Okanagan teenager Ashlee Hyatt.

Young witnesses to the events of June 2, 2010, when the 16-year-old was fatally stabbed at a Peach-land party, are at times struggling to stay com-posed as they offer their account.

The hearing is be-ing held to assess wheth-er there’s enough evi-dence available to forward the case to B.C. Supreme court for a trial.

The accused, whose name is protected because of her age, is charged with second degree murder, ag-gravated assault and as-sault causing bodily harm.

The hearing, which is subject to a publication ban, is scheduled to last six days and started Mon-day.

Two more buses added to deal with more student ridership

Preliminary hearing starts for teen murder

Alistair WatersASSISTANT EDITOR

The Kelowna region-al transit system is getting two more buses to han-dle a crush of riders head-ing to and from Okanagan College and UBCO.

To address complaints from students about full buses passing them at stops, the city has con-vinced B.C. Transit to agree to provide two more buses for the Highway 97 express route from down-town to UBCO and on the No. 8 route that serves Okanagan College.

“This is actually a good news story,” said Mayor Sharon Shepherd, despite the fact it will cost the city an estimated $137,000 per year for the additional buses and asso-ciated 1,300 more service hours.

The remaining $121,000 per year cost will be covered by B.C. Transit. Part of the reason for the increased use of lo-cal buses is due, in part, to enrollment increases at both UBCO and Okana-gan College.

UBCO has a city subsidized UPASS sys-tem that is mandatory for UBCO students and gen-erates revenue for the tran-sit system.

An estimated 800 more students enrolled at UBCO this year and that will help contribute more

to the local bus system to help pay for the new bus-es.

Coun. Kevin Craig, who is a student at UBCO, said he rides the bus to class all the time and regu-

larly experiences the crush of riders. But he said it is good to see the increase in riders.

“We are the fi rst coun-cil in Kelowna to have too many people riding tran-

sit,” noted Craig.A recent study showed

ridership increased 10 per cent last year and Kelow-na’s system is the fast-est growing transit sys-tem of its size in the coun-

try. Still, only about three per cent of the population here uses transit.

But not all council-lors were happy. Coun. Graeme James said the city has “lost control” of

its bus system because B.C. Transit dictates where the buses go.

Mayor Sharon Shep-herd has said she wants to see an audit of the local system done.

She said members of council hear complaints about the system but there is little the city can do without B.C. Transit’s [email protected]

So now that we all offi cially know who the bogey-

men (and women) be-hind the Four Change campaign to oust four Kelowna city councillors are, I think I speak for many of us when I say: Who’s that?

For the last three weeks, those who follow Kelowna’s local political scene have been listen-ing to the founder and owner of Casta-net tell us all who to vote for—or rather who we shouldn’t vote for.

Seemingly aspiring to the Conrad Black school of media ownership, Nick Frost has suggested Charlie Hodge, Michele Rule, Kevin Craig and Angela Reid-Nagy aren’t worth their space on the ballot.

Of course, the group Frost is front-

ing hasn’t offered any alternative suggestion as to who we should vote for.

But then, I some-what doubt the inter-ior designer, human re-sources recruiter, and glass salesman who have now admitted to being a part of this rath-

er nasty lobby force are the super quali-fi ed political minds the rest of us should listen to.

Lobbying in any political competi-tion is par for the course and really can be a lot of fun.

It’s what puts the bloodsport in pol-itics, although it looks like this crew forgot the sport portion of that equation and is just going for blood.

A city councillor’s position is not a lucrative post and what it takes to get

elected generally breaks down to…oh, I don’t know… 25-cents-an-hour for those who put several years worth of legwork into the project.

And if ever there were four people who have done the door-knocking, cold-calling and volunteering necessary to win a seat, it would be these four.

Say what you will about their abil-ity to argue a point or understand de-velopment issues, but these particular councillors truly did step up to the plate to win the right to sit in those chairs.

Reid-Nagy, for example, ran for the Green Party federally and provincially and did more door-knocking than any-one but, well, Craig.

Craig runs a meet-and-greet cam-paign machine worthy of a presiden-tial candidate, strategizing on every-thing from demographics to popula-tion density.

No one can deny Michele Rule put

her time in on volunteer posts and gen-erally getting out to meet people. And what’s the job again, representing the public?

As for Hodge, as long-term, diehard environment/arts/culture activists go, one would be hard-pressed to fi nd an-other whose been involved longer.

The moneybags backing Four Change can’t seem to spare a cent of charity with this venture, though they did give us a great list of people to watch out for in the future.

If ever there was an attack ad cam-paign in local politics, this is it. So memorize the list of Four Change back-ers and, well, don’t ever vote for them.’

idence to support the ex-istence of chemtrails and Environment Canada can-not provide any scientifi c evidence.

The phenomena that you are referring to are commonly called aircraft condensation trails or con-trails.

Airplane contrails are long white condensation trails made up of ice crys-tals left behind by aircraft fl ying primarily at high al-titudes.

They form when hot water vapour produced by the burning of avia-tion fuel cools rapidly as it comes into contact with the much colder air.

The airplane’s exhaust increases the amount of moisture in the air.

As the moist air cools it reaches saturation and the water vapour subli-mates to form ice crystals.

The cooling of the air and subsequent formation of ice crystals is very rap-id so that the contrails ap-pear almost immediately behind the aircraft.

This process is anal-ogous to seeing one’s breath on a winter day. Because visible contrails are composed primarily of water/ice, they do not pose a health risk to hu-mans.

The appearance of contrails depends on many factors including the pre-vailing atmospheric con-ditions, type of aircraft and engine, wind direc-tion, altitude and amount of sunlight.

If the air at high alti-tude is very dry, the con-densation trails will dissi-pate rapidly.

If the air at high alti-tude is relatively moist, the contrails typically last from minutes to hours.

Under certain atmo-spheric conditions, con-trails can linger in the air for more than a day and usually grow wider and more dissipated over time.

Some of these con-trails change in appear-ance by the presence and the strength of the upper level winds.

If the wind is very strong, contrails will move away from the area where they were formed, often changing in appear-ance and opacity as they are moving.

Contrails can some-times appear to stop and start as the aircraft en-counters areas in the up-per atmosphere that con-tain different amounts of moisture.

The paths of aircrafts criss-crossing each other may explain the unusual appearance of contrails.

Increase in air traffi c in the last two decades has inevitably caused an in-crease in the number of visible contrails in the sky, especially in the vicinity of larger airports.

With respect to aircraft emissions, aircraft engines and fuel have very strin-gent emissions standards set by national and inter-national organizations.

To minimize the im-pact of aircraft emissions on the environment, these organizations constantly update their standards to ensure that aircraft engine manufacturers use the best available technology.

In Canada, aviation fuel specifi cations are controlled by the Cana-dian General Standards Board (CGSB) which in-cludes fuel suppliers, fuel users and other stakehold-ers.

CGSB sets limits on all important fuel param-eters and prescribes test methods for ensuring con-sistent fuel quality.

Aviation fuel such as petrol/gasoline (piston engines) or paraffi n/ker-osene (jet engines) con-sists primarily of hydro-carbons.

When the fuel is burned, the carbon com-bines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide; the hydro-gen also combines with

oxygen to form water, which emerges as steam (i.e. water vapour) in the exhaust.

There have been no new fuel additives in re-cent years that could sug-gest that new foreign sub-stances are being inject-ed into the atmosphere by aircraft engines.

Finally, the websites that discuss chemtrails contain numerous sugges-tions that chemtrails are a form of weather or cli-mate modifi cation.

Under the Weather Modifi cation Information Act, any weather modifi -cation experiments legal-ly require that Environ-ment Canada be formally notifi ed.

Environment Cana-

da has no such notifi ca-tion from any group, and has no knowledge of any weather modifi cation ex-periments related to air-craft contrails.

In conclusion, there is no scientifi c evidence, data or information relat-ed to aircraft emissions that supports the idea that contrails from aircraft are chemically laden.

Similarly, there is no evidence that aircraft con-trails pose a health risk. I hope that this information adequately addresses your concerns.”

John Downward, Kelowna

To the editor: As one of the candidates who plans

to run for mayor of our beautiful city of Kelowna and contrary to what Mr. Pierce has suggested in his letter (Capital News, Oct. 4, Candidates: Think twice before jumping in), I would like to strongly en-courage all 50 council and 11 mayor-al candidates to hang on to their dreams and not give up.

I also strongly believe that Mr. Pierce’s efforts would be far more help-ful if he were to direct them at the real root of the problem with Kelowna’s civic elections, which is low voter turnout.

With the same few people voting the same old way over and over, we’re get-ting the same results.

Voting is the only true way that the average person can actually have some power over the government.

By having more candidates out in the fi eld knocking on doors, putting up signs, talking to their friends, stirring things up and telling people to vote, we can hopefully get more people out to vote. And who knows…you just might win.

That’s why we have free elections. If people gave up on their dreams before they even started, do you think we would have ever had guys like Terry Fox or Nelson Mandela or Mahatma Gandhi?

If people gave up on their dreams be-fore they even started, do you think we would have walked on the moon? You have to believe in your dreams and you have to believe in yourself.

Don’t give up, don’t surrender and don’t listen to guys like Mr. Pierce.

He’s wrong. It’s not hopeless. Long-shots come in, dreams come true and un-derdogs do win.

So if you meet the requirements, you can get the 25 nominators to sign for you and if you want to run, then run!

And for those of you out there who are still on the sidelines thinking you might like to give it a try, go for it.

We need more people getting in-volved and getting engaged in the pro-cess, not less. The learning experience alone is well worth the price of admis-sion.

And vote, galdarnit!Cal Condy, Kelowna

To the editor: Another 18 months of HST proves democracy isn’t

workingThe HST cost of $8.64 on a receipt for dog food

caught my attention the other day. I thought, didn’t we vote to get rid of the HST not so long ago? Why am I still paying it?

It turns out B.C. will be paying HST for at least an-other 18 months because the government says it will take 18 months to switch back to the GST/PST. Seri-ously? It took two months to implement the brand new HST; so why wouldn’t it take that long or less to switch back to the GST/PST?

The reasons for it taking 18 months make no sense if one takes the time to read through the provincial govern-ment’s action plan to return the GST/PST’ at www.fi n.gov.bc.ca/pst-return.htm.

The bottom line is that the B.C. Liberals are continu-ing their own revenue-gathering agenda for 18 months in contravention to what the majority of B.C. citizens voted for.

Isn’t this a perfectly simple example of our failing democracy?

Kathy MichaelsSTAFF REPORTER

One of the most high profi le murder trials in Kelowna’s history ended Thursday with Neil Snel-son being found guilty of manslaughter.

The jury of six men and six women fi led into the courtroom after near-ly three days of delibera-tions, averting eye contact with murder victim Jen-nifer Cusworth’s parents, who were sitting in the front row as they had been throughout the trial.

Snelson, they an-nounced once assembled, was not guilty of fi rst de-gree murder—the convic-tion the Crown was pur-suing—but guilty of the lesser charge.

It was a verdict that prompted an immediate outburst of gasps and sobs from a crowd that con-tinually assembled in the courtroom over the three week trial.

Jean and Terry Cus-worth appeared shaken, but strong. Snelson had a similar reaction.

“The jury was satis-fi ed beyond a reasonable doubt that (Snelson’s) ac-tions killed (Cusworth),” said defence lawyer Grant Gray, of the “unantici-pated” verdict that puz-zled both him and his client’s family.

“What the jury was not satisfi ed with, beyond a reasonable doubt, was that he had the intent to kill or cause her bodily harm.”

Alcohol could have been the intent-removing factor that prompted the jury to turn to manslaugh-ter, as Justice Alison Beames made mention of it during her Monday in-structions to the jury. Al-though, from the get-go, the case against Snelson suffered from 16 years of going cold.

Cusworth’s body was found in a Swamp Road

ditch, Oct. 17, 1993. An autopsy showed she’d been manually strangled, but ultimately died from numerous blows to the head from a cylindric-al object, which patholo-gists suspected may have been a tire-iron. Evidence of sexual activity was also present.

In the days and months following the grim discovery, witnesses offered everything from statements to DNA sam-ples in an attempt to solve the crime, but it amount-ed to 800-plus tips that led nowhere.

Snelson, it turned out, was missing piece of the puzzle.

The now 44-year-old had never offered his DNA and that put him among a list of 100-plus names of those who had been at

the party Cusworth was last seen, but failed to of-fer DNA samples or alibis that ruled them out of the investigation.

That list, in time, was whittled down to seven— two of whom still lived in Kelowna and others who lived farther away—and police went about getting a cast-off DNA sample from each of them. .

By luck of the draw, Snelson, who still lived ini the city, was one of the fi rst police tried to gain a sample from. Unlike others, however, he spot-ted them and knowingly evaded their efforts.

In time that prompt-ed the investigation to go a different route. And po-lice eventually procured a warrant in the summer of 2009 that forced him to submit DNA.

He became the prime suspect and the investi-gation focused on wheth-er he could be held ac-countable for her murder, as they then already knew the two had sex.

For his part, Snelson said he had anonymous sex with a woman at the party, then he drove a few friends home and went to bed with his wife.

By his foggy recollec-tion, it would have hap-pened midway into a party that took place be-tween 2 a.m. and sunrise. He didn’t remember the girl, or ever think of her in the years that followed, he said.

He claimed during the trial that it wasn’t until po-lice started talking public-ly about DNA evidence in Jennifer Cusworth’s cold case murder fi le, that he entertained the question of “what if” she was who he had sex with.

When witnesses took the stand all these years later, the likelihood that Cusworth had sex at the party with a man she had never met seemed to dissi-pate and an image of Snel-son as someone who had a very loose grasp on the truth emerged.

Around 12 party-goers had been called in by Crown counsels Iain Currie and Dione Pizzey to speak to Cusworth’s whereabouts over the course of the party.

the couch in the front room, or walking around the party with her arm looped around a friend, someone offered testi-mony about where the young woman spent her last hours.

It wasn’t until around 4 to 4:30 a.m., that she dis-appeared from sight, only to turn up a day later in a ditch on Swamp Road.

The Crown’s case also focused on incongru-ences. Snelson told dif-ferent stories to investiga-tors and family members about seemingly inane de-tails, like where he parked the night of the party. Or, the order he drove his friends home.

A brown 1978 GMC truck he would have driv-en the night of the party was one particular point of contention.

In a legally taped con-versation with his father, Snelson said he never had a canopy and that he hated them. Photos from his ex-wife showed that he did indeed have a canopy on his truck. In a conversa-tion with his sister, Snel-son said he wasn’t even sure he had a truck.

There was also an issue about a belt.

Snelson said from the start that his fi rst memory of the party was returning a belt to a friend. That friend testifi ed that she never wore belts, and she certainly didn’t have one returned to her the night of the party.

Crown Iain Currie proved he was a liar, but murder was something else altogether. No mur-der weapon was brought forth, and the truck that had been such a bone of contention, had long since disappeared.

In closing arguments, however, Currie offered an argument that closed the gap between the two having sex and Snelson being involved with her death.

He explained that the volume of seminal fl u-id found in Jennifer Cus-worth at the time of the death could have only re-mained in that proportion if she hadn’t moved after sex. Currie argued that it would have left her body had she been able to walk around after the encoun-ter, and that closed the gap between her sexual en-counter and time of death to a window of 20 to 25 minutes.

Neither Snelson’s or Cusworth’s family want-

ed to speak about the ver-dict, immediately after it was rendered.

The Cusworths will make a statement this afternoon while a repre-sentative from Snelson’s church issued a written statement on Thursday:

“Our objective as a church community is to come together to support each other,” said Keith Reis-dorf, pastor of the First Lutheran Church.

“And we trust our faith will carry our congrega-tion and all those involved

through this.”Snelson will appear in

court again Oct. 11 to fi x a date for a pre-sentence hearing. A manslaughter conviction carries a wide range of sentencing, from a suspended sentence to life in prison.

1st annual


The Okanagan’s 75-year-old tree fruit market-ing agency held a press conference this morning to clarify some indus-try issues brought up this

week by an outspoken employee who has just been fi red.

B.C. Tree Fruits’ communication special-ist Mohamed Doma said they have been receiving confused e-mails and calls from grower/members of

the Okanagan Tree Fruit Co-operative, where Jeff Bryde worked.

Bryde went on a hunger strike and pick-eted BCTF last week be-cause he objected to see-ing apples from Washing-ton State being sold by the co-op. The co-op owns BCTF. However, his state-ments led to confusion among employees, con-sumers and growers, who then complained to the co-op.

Doma said only one to two per cent of the BCTF’s annual business involves importing apples to sell in B.C., and that is only when there are no lo-cal ones available to mar-ket.

Never are those apples sold as B.C. apples, and never do they replace B.C. apples, he said.

They are only used to fulfi ll orders from cus-tomers until local product is available.

Otherwise, BCTF could lose a customer, which would lead to in-creased costs for the grow-ers who own the co-op and could harm employ-ees as well, he explained.

“We’ve been doing this for decades. It’s not new,” said Doma.

The confusion is caus-ing the industry “irrepar-able harm,” he said, which is of particular concern to an industry that is already under severe stress from

global competition.“He is obviously mis-

informed and he is busi-ness illiterate. He doesn’t understand the busi-ness,” said Doma. “We’re a community-based or-ganization. Our packing-houses are at the heart of our communities.”

B.C. apples are also sold to Washington when they are short, he said.

Contrary to Bryde’s contention that he is pro-testing in order to support

the industry, what he is doing is having the oppos-ite affect, Doma said.

“Hopefully, this will clarify the issue for every-one, including himself. I’m still hopeful he re-considers what he’s say-ing,” he said.

His statements are infl ammatory and full of inaccuracies, Doma said, but so far no other action has been taken against [email protected]

From Oct. 9 to 15, West Kelowna Fire Res-cue will be in schools pro-moting their message to “protect your family from fi re” as a part of fi re pre-vention week.

The campaign focuses on how to plan and prac-tice escaping from a resi-dence, should a fi re occur.

The fi re rescue crew

will also host Kids Day at the fi re station—locat-ed at 3651 Old Okanag-an Highway—on Sun-day, Oct. 16 from noon to 4 p.m.

Families are encour-aged to come and partici-pate in various activities and enjoy refreshments.

Kelly Wilson, fi re and life safety educator with West Kelowna Fire Res-cue, said that the turnout for Kids Day seems to in-

crease every year.“There is more of an

awareness. I think a lot of that has to do with the week in the school where the kids go home and they tell their parents and they get involved,” said Wil-son.

Wilson said that Kids Day will give children a chance to visit various sta-tions and learn fi re safety techniques such as stop, drop and roll. Sparky the fi re dog will also be on hand at the event.

The in-school educa-tion will provide students with a fi re safety work-sheet. Those who success-fully complete the activ-ity booklet and return the entry form will be eligible to win a laptop computer.

Fire prevention week will focus on safety of families

You’re invited to sip mulled cider, tea or coffee and nibble on pumpkin bread in front of the gran-ite fi replace in the historic Manor House at Fintry on Saturday.

It’s part of the annual Fireside Gathering, with an added twist this year to celebrate the bounty of the land. Everyone is asked to bring their home grown fruit and vegetables, jams and jellies to contribute to a fund-raising table for the Friends of Fintry.

The Manor House will be open from noon to 4 p.m. for the event.

Funds raised go to support ongoing restor-ation work on the prop-erty which is part of Fintry Provincial Park.

It’s located about 34 km north of Kelowna on Westside Road.

While budgets for operation of many public bodies are increasing, the Okanagan Basin Water Board this week approved a budget for the coming year that is a reduction of 7.3 per cent from the pre-vious year.

Executive-director Anna Warwick Sears said the drop in the $3.449 million budget is due to a greatly improved man-agement system for the sewage facilities grants program.

She said the board did an exhaustive review

of each individual grant this year, so they can be budgeted with great preci-sion both now and into the future. There’s also im-proved fi nancial software being used.

As a result of this, “We will also be able to increase earned inter-est because we can es-tablish short-term, high-yield investments to hold the requisitions before the grants become due,” she explained.

The OBWB’s fi nan-cial services are handled by the Central Okanagan Regional District, where the board offi ces are locat-ed, including administra-

tion of the sewage facili-ties infrastructure grants program, accounts pay-able and employee payroll and benefi ts.

Other overhead costs, including building and

Information Technol-ogy systems and support, phones and photocopiers have not increased.

For property-owners, the tax requisition will be 5.7 cents per $1,000 of as-sessed values, down from six cents last year.

In addition to sew-age facility grants, the board also is respon-sible for control of Eur-asian Water Milfoil in the basin’s main valley lakes and water manage-ment services such as the WaterWise education and outreach program; a new program for stream fl ow monitoring; expanding the groundwater monitor-

ing network; developing new water quality projects with UBCO researchers; training water utility staff on use of the new water use reporting program; and developing a process for valley-wide drought management.

The OBWB is made up of board members from the three regional

districts in the Okanagan Valley.

At this week’s month-ly meeting the board also asked staff to draft a let-ter to the B.C. government encouraging protection of Rose Valley Reservoir.

Board members said they were concerned lands around reservoirs should remain in public hands to

ensure ongoing protection of drinking water.

A current proposal would see lands around the northern end of the reservoir swapped with the Westbank First Nation for land where the new intersection is being built on Highway 97 at West-side [email protected]

The leaden gray sky served as a warn-ing, and then the

fi rst fl uffy fl akes of ear-ly season snow began to drift down from above.

Plans had been made long in advance for a trip over a high elevation pass and now it looked as if it would be an unpleas-ant trip.

At this time of year, any trip out of the valley involves climbing to high-er elevations, where snow could become a factor at any time.

So, it’s important to be prepared, by wear-ing appropriate clothing and making sure warm-er jackets and boots are with you.

Don’t, for goodness sakes, leave the valley in sandals, expecting it will be just as warm and sunny higher up, unless warmer footwear is with you, for instance.

It’s also a good idea to carry such emergency items as blankets, match-es, candles, a fl ashlight, water and even emer-gency rations in case you’re stuck in a storm.

That’s a particular concern if your trip takes you off the well-main-tained highways and into the backcountry, where the likelihood of a weath-er emergency is more acute with the lack of traf-fi c.

Cell phones, incident-ally, cannot be relied upon for emergency communi-cations out of the valley.

Having your car prop-erly prepared is one thing that’s also important, but prepare yourself for the harsh reality of win-ter, even if we haven’t yet seen a sign of it in the val-ley bottom.

This winter, the prov-ince is planning a season-al closure of the Garnet Valley area to motor vehicles travelling off open roads on Crown land. The move is to pro-tect mule deer on critical winter range between Jan. 1 and April 30. The closed area extends to Peach-land Creek in the north, Finlay Creek and Garnet Lake and road to the west, Highway 97 on the east and Jones Flat Road in Summerland in the south.

As you plan projects for the coming year, con-

sider taking on the clean-up of a local waterway with the help of a Pen-ticton group who recent-ly dove into the Okanag-an River channel for a weekend cleanup with the support of the B.C. Wildlife Federation, Okanagan Region and the Keremeos-Cawston Sportsmen Federation.

Doug Wiech says the group is willing to tackle other waterways in the In-terior as well, with volun-teer divers working under the direction of Scuba Steve.

He can be contacted

at 250-809-7311 if you or your group is interested in working with them.

This is a terrifi c op-portunity to take advan-tage of some great volun-teers with a special skill, so give it some serious consideration.

Incidentally, the Peachland Sportsman’s Association is holding a Conservation and Out-door Recreation Edu-cation (CORE) course Nov. 4 to 6 at the Maple Springs Bible Camp in Peachland for anyone in-terested in getting their hunting license.

If you’re interest-ed, call Keith at 250-317-5629.

The Central Okanag-an Naturalists’ Club has organized a Discover Nature walk for the public in the area of Mill Creek, Saturday, Oct. 15, 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Bring lunch, water, and wear suitable shoes.

Meniere’s disease is a disorder of the inner ear

that causes spontaneous episodes of vertigo along with fl uctuating hear-ing loss, ringing in the ear

(tinnitus) and sometimes a feeling of pressure or fullness in the ear.

In most cases, Me-niere’s disease will affect only one ear.

The main symptoms

of Meniere’s disease are recurring episodes of ver-tigo that last anywhere from 20 minutes up to 24 hours, tinnitus (typical-ly low-pitched with Me-niere’s disease), a feeling

of pressure or fullness in the ear and hearing loss.

Hearing loss may come and go in early stag-es of the disease but as the disease progresses there typically will be some

permanent hearing loss. Symptoms will usual-

ly come on in bouts, last-ing for two to three hours, and then subside, and of-ten a series of episodes will occur followed by pe-riods of remission.

The cause of Me-niere’s disease isn’t well understood but is believed to be closely tied to the fl uid in the inner ear. Our inner ear contains a fl u-id that helps us to main-tain our balance and equi-librium.

With Meniere’s dis-ease there are changes to the volume and the com-position of this inner ear fl uid, causing problems with the healthy function-ing of our ear and affect-ing our hearing and our balance.

These changes to the ear fl uid may be caused by improper fl uid drain-age (either because of a blockage or because of an anatomic abnormali-ty), abnormal immune re-

sponse, allergies, viral in-fection, genetic predispo-sition, or head trauma.

Meniere’s disease is considered a chronic con-dition, and treatment fo-cuses on management: relieving symptoms and minimizing the long term impacts of the disease.

Treatment includes motion sickness or an-ti-nausea medications for the vertigo, diuretic med-ications to reduce the amount of fl uid in the in-ner ear, medication injec-tions to the inner ear to re-lieve vertigo, hearing aids, and rehabilitative exer-cises to help improve bal-ance and coordination.

Surgery may be con-

sidered in severe cases.In Chinese medicine,

Meniere’s disease is clas-sifi ed as a type of dizzi-ness. There are important lifestyle factors that con-tribute to its development.

Emotional strain, which can be caused by too much stress or by an-ger, frustration, or resent-ment, can lead to health imbalances that over time can lead to chron-ic conditions such as Me-niere’s disease. Overwork or pushing ourselves too hard without adequate rest over years can also deplete the body and lead to health issues.

Diet is another impor-tant factor, as unhealthy eating particularly the ex-cessive consumption of greasy foods or dairy products or poor or irreg-ular eating habits lead to problems down the road. All of these factors over

time contribute to the de-velopment of health prob-lems, which is why Me-niere’s disease typically develops in middle age.

Acupuncture is a worthwhile option to con-sider for those suffering from Meniere’s disease.

Because Western medicine has diffi culty treating this condition, of-ten people are looking for effective options to help manage the disease.

The good news is that acupuncture can help to relieve the symptoms of Meniere’s disease and may also help to improve

or resolve the condition. Over time and with

continued treatments, acupuncture may also help to resolve the con-dition. The combination of acupuncture and Chi-nese herbal medicine can be of particular benefi t to the condition as herbal formulas can help to aug-

ment the results of acu-puncture.

Due to the chronic na-ture of this condition, Me-niere’s may be slow to treat and may take time to achieve lasting results.

James Kaufman is a Registered Acupuncturist in Kelowna.

On Sept. 24, the awards ceremo-ny for the Oka-

nagan Xeriscape Asso-ciation’s fi rst Xeriscape

Garden Contest was held at the unH2O Xeriscape Demonstration Garden at the H2O Aquatic Centre.

This coincided with the fi rst anniversary of the opening of the garden.

The contest, open to all residents of the Cen-tral Okanagan, had 20 en-tries from Peachland to Rutland.

I was excited to see the tremendous variation and creativity in the gar-dens.

Some had been grow-ing more than two years but most were quite new.

Many are works in progress with success in one area leading to plans to do more.

All entrants were en-couraged to enter again next year to show their further progress with xeri-scaping and the maturing of their gardens.

Entrants commented on how their new gardens surprised them with big water savings and reduc-tions in maintenance time.

All were very excited with the results of the con-version to xeriscape.

Most said they en-tered because they wanted to share their experienc-es to help others make the

change.Stories and photos of

the gardens will be add-ed to the gallery page at www.okanaganxeriscape.org.

As well, watch this column for more articles with before and after pic-tures of some gardens.

Judging criteria for the contest included:

1) health, vigour, suit-ability and variety of xeri-scape plants

2) suitability of design to its site and usage, cre-ative use of hardscapes

3) use of mulch and ease of maintenance

4) freedom from pe-rennial weeds, mainte-nance of paths, structures and cultivated areas

5) low water use—type of water system, de-crease from former use

6) aesthetics—harmo-nious blending of colours,

AttentionTeachers:

A couple of weeks ago, one of my teachers showed

our class a video by the culture-jamming duo, The Yes Men.

Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno are their aliases, and this particu-lar video featured their tongue-in-cheek presen-tation to a university class as they posed as repre-

sentatives from the World Trade Organization.

Partnering with Mc-

Donald’s, their new de-velopment would seek to end starvation (and more importantly, gener-ate profi t) in Third World countries by recycling hamburgers in their Post Consumer Waste Recyc-ling Program.

If I could help solve world hunger by eating a hamburger, I wanted to know more.

In essence, those in developed countries would eat a McDon-ald’s hamburger, and their feces would be fed to those in Third World countries, since roughly 80 per cent of the food’s nutrients still remain.

This was, of course, a joke, but it was intended to reveal some hard truths about society.

Thankfully, many stu-dents voiced their objec-tions, one of them being the fact that we feed our cats and dogs better than this.

Bichlbaum responded by saying, “The reality is that we already treat people in the Third World far worse than we treat our domestic animals.”

As much as I didn’t

want to believe that this truth applied to me, the evidence in my life makes it impossible for me to deny it.

I spend excessive amounts of money on lattes at Starbucks while nearly one billion people in the world are starving.

I think and speak like I care about these people, but I don’t live like it.

The more I refl ect on these inconsistencies in my own life, the bigger this question becomes: How can I be so numb to this devastating reality that I am not moved to do anything about it?

This also raises a second, more important question: How do I elim-inate this apathy and take action?

Part of the answer to this may be realizing that starving people are not just part of a statistic; they are real human beings.

Chances are you have

probably seen many pic-tures of malnourished people and several World Vision programs on TV, and heard or made some kind of comment at the dinner table about how a starving person from Afri-ca would love to eat your unfi nished meal.

I laughed at a com-ment like this for the fi rst time when I was six years old, so regaining sensitiv-ity to this issue is challen-ging. However, there may be a more befi tting re-sponse to this issue than laughter.

The most import-ant part of this response is action, because even-tually the emotions wear off while starvation con-tinues. A simple Inter-net search can lead you to countless organizations and programs that are seeking to end this prob-lem.

Sponsoring a child is a common way to get in-volved, perhaps because of its effi cacy.

For the cost of a T-

shirt or a few coffees each month, you can give a real person food, long-term skills, health care, and education.

Even if you can’t end starvation for all 925 mil-

lion people, you can end it for one.

Stop the apathy and take action

One lucky Central Okanagan school has been awarded an environ-mental grant for their par-ticipation in the annual Kokanee Run.

KLO Middle School had the highest participa-tion rate of the seven Cen-tral Okanagan schools that participated in the run along the Mission Creek Greenway on Saturday, Oct. 1.

The school will use the $1,000 grant to fund an environmental project that will benefi t the student body and the community. Students will present the results of their project at next year’s Kokanee Run.

This is the fi rst year that the grant has been offered for the highest

school participation in the event which raises funds for the Friends of Mission Creek Society.

The environmen-tal grant was provided by Roy’s Shoes on Ellis Street and Green & Bear It and Robertson’s Cloth-ing, both in Kelowna’s Mission area.

Regional Parks Inter-preter and run organizer Alison Campbell Urness said: “The society is in-strumental in the ongoing preservation and protec-tion of Mission Creek and work along the Green-way.

“We were also excited to be able to offer the en-vironmental grant for the fi rst time and to be able to attract younger runners to

the Greenway. “We’re eager to learn

how KLO Middle School will use the funds and to watch the progress of their project over the course of the school year.”

Regional Parks and the Friends of Mission Creek Society will for-mally present the funds to KLO Middle School at a future date.

The Friends of Mis-sion Creek Society and rgional parks services will continue to offer the grant as part of future Kokanee Run events to help foster environmental steward-ship in youth and to sup-port environmental school initiatives.

Urness also thanked the Running Room in Or-

chard Plaza for its ongo-ing support for the event.

For more informa-tion on the Kokanee Run

and how to get involved, email [email protected]

or call 250-469-6232.

You’re interested in aviation, but for a number of reasons

you can’t or don’t want to become a pilot. So what do you do now?

Outside of working as a fl ight attendant there is another avenue for those with a mechanical ap-titude and interested in working with airplanes.

These are the peo-ple who actually build and maintain aircraft—they are called Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (AMEs).

AMEs maintain, re-pair, overhaul, modify and test aircraft structural and mechanical hydraulic systems.

The type of work AMEs do all depends on their training. Right now

at Okanagan College we offer the Aircraft Main-tenance Engineer Me-chanical (AME–M) pro-gram in Vernon and start-ing in February we will offer the Aircraft Mainte-nance Engineer Structures (AME-S) program in Kel-owna.

The AME-M program deals with the mechanics of an airplane.

with the non-mechanical parts of the aircraft. These types of mechanics select, measure, cut, bend, form, heat treat, seal, fabricate, fi t, inspect, paint and re-fi nish parts and compo-nents to aircraft specifi -cations.

They also assemble parts and components and sub-assemblies, using special jigs and fi xtures. AMEs in this fi eld work with aluminum, titani-um and the stainless steel structure of the aircraft and other components such as windows, lenses and the plastic parts you see inside the plane.

To put it in perspec-tive, these mechanics are responsible for the assess-ment, planning and im-plementation of fabrica-tion and repairs on an air-craft.

Most often they would work for a maintenance repair and overhaul com-pany, such as Kelowna Flightcraft, or they would be working with other air-craft technicians and me-chanics repairing air-planes.

Right now there are

approximately 3,070 of these structural aircraft maintenance engineers working in the province of B.C. Annual salaries for experienced AMEs are better than average at $58,571.

There is currently a demand for these types of mechanics as many old-er aircraft consistently need to be serviced and repaired.

Some 840 job open-ings are projected in B.C. for the 2010 to 2015 peri-od due to retirements and industry growth.

According to BC Work Futures, there has been signifi cant growth in the province’s aerospace industry. The Transpor-tation Career Develop-ment Association of BC is expecting shortages of AMEs to rise to close to 20 per cent in the near fu-ture.

Currently Okana-gan College is accept-ing applications to both of these programs, which start on Feb. 6, 2012. The AME-S trades program is 37 weeks and class-es run from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. out at the Kelowna Aerospace Campus. The

AME-M trades program is at the Okanagan Col-lege Vernon Aerospace campus and is 15 months long with a short period of study to be completed at Northern Lights College in Dawson Creek.

If you are interested in the AME-S program, and want to have a fi rst-hand look at the industry, the

College is hosting an in-formation night with an industry-tour of Kelow-na Flightcraft on Thurs-day, Oct. 13, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Okanagan College Kelowna Aero-space Campus, 5655 Air-port Way.

During the Flightcraft tour, you will be able to see just what kind of work

these types of AMEs do, and the interesting proj-ects they are involved in.

Kevin ParnellSTAFF REPORTER

These days it’s hard to knock the smile off Josh McEwan’s face.

Not because the Ke-lowna native is playing his fi nal year of junior hockey in his home town, in front of friends and family.

And not because he’s back home this year after playing for a different hockey team in a differ-ent city every year since he was 16.

No, McEwan is smil-ing because he is about to embark on a life-changing trip that will have a direct impact on the lives of chil-dren in the third-world na-tion of Cambodia.

“This past sev-en months has been the most fun I’ve had in my life,” said McEwan, one of three hockey playing brothers (Josh and Joey are the others). “I’m smil-ing because I’m happy to know there is hope, not only for myself and every-one in Kelowna but also for kids in Cambodia.”

McEwan, his father, and a group from the Ke-lowna-based organization Be A Hero, are leaving for Cambodia later this month on a trip called Break the Cycle Cambodia. They will cycle 144 kilometres in one day, raising money for several projects to help children and women res-cued from the sex trade.

It’s not an everyday kind of thing for your average 20-year-old.

But it doesn’t take long to fi gure out that Josh Mc-Ewan isn’t your average young man.

“When I fi rst heard about this trip it really hit my heart at a whole dif-ferent level,” he said. “I thought we had to stop talking about it. People

can talk a lot but the ac-tion is where things real-ly happen. I look at my lifestyle today and I have food everyday and water everyday. Over there to make money some par-ents are selling there kids. I thought ‘we’re so for-tunate for what we have over here that why not do something.’”

So McEwan is putting his hockey season on hold to travel to Cambodia for two weeks, attempting to raise $20,000 to go to-wards building safe homes for kids who have been sold into the sex trade.

Prior to trying out for the Kelowna Chiefs this year, to close out his jun-ior hockey career in his home town, McEwan in-formed the Chiefs of his plans. The only way he was going to play was if his trip wasn’t affected.

No problem for Chiefs coach Ken Andrusiak, who said it’s an extension of the leadership abilities that McEwan brings to the Chiefs.

“It’s an opportunity for our kids to see what com-mitment is all about,” said Andrusiak.

“This is for the bene-fi t of all of our players to see what you can do if you really care about some-thing. Sometimes this kind of thing seems lost on this generation of kids. This is about benefi t to the community and that’s really what we’re trying to teach our players.”

McEwan and his fath-er will leave Oct. 26 for Cambodia and return on Nov. 4. There will be an information booth set up at the three Chiefs home games before they leave on Oct. 8, 14 and 22. The goal of the group is to raise $200,000 while the McEwan’s have set the

bar high and are hoping to contribute $20,000.

For Josh McEwan taking part in something as admirable as this pro-ject has opened up a self-awareness that sounds as if it could lead to many more charitable causes.

“Sometimes inside of

me I feel like I have some-thing special, I want to tell everyone and I want everyone to be part of it because we can make a difference in people’s lives,” he said.

“That’s one of my main focus’ in life, to live more of a lifestyle of

contribution and giving back.”

And you can help too. Contact Josh McEwan at [email protected] or check out their web site at www.team-mcewan.com/[email protected]

KELOWNA’S OWN Josh McEwan is getting set for a charity bike ride in Cambodia later this month.

Showing leadership on and off the ice

It’s been a long two weeks of prepara-tion for the Okanag-

an Sun and the Vancou-ver Island Raiders as the best two teams in the B.C. Football Conference hit the fi eld on Sunday in the fi nal game of the BCFC season with fi rst place on the line.

But for two teams that consider themselves the cream of the crop in the BCFC, the past two weeks has seen the spot-light taken away from the players as managers, staff, owners and directors have been so busy taking shots at each other that it seems they’ve forgotten what really matters.

And here we thought that junior sports was sup-posed to be about play-ers, about helping them achieve their goals and helping them to be better people.

Well, if players from either team have been reading what’s been said by both sides prior to this match-up they are learn-ing more about mud-slinging than respect and fair play.

Finger-pointing, name calling, trash talking and all sorts of accusations have been aired. Not by the players. No, by the adults on both sides of the ball.

And it’s coming right from the top of each or-ganization.

What we haven’t heard enough of is how good the game will be, how talent-ed some of these young men are, how much work they put in or where this could possibly lead them in their football careers.

It seems that they would rather bash each

other.And that’s too bad.Players and coach-

es on the Okanagan Sun and the Vancouver Island Raiders work extremely hard. They practice, they watch fi lm, they live, eat and breathe football.

And I’m sure they do it because they love the game, they hope maybe it will lead somewhere, they want to compete and they want to win.

And the Sun and the Raiders do win. All the time. That’s the problem with the BCFC. There are only two good teams and that’s the way it’s been for years and years. Sports leagues are only as strong as their weakest link. Per-haps the Sun and Raid-ers should work together to strengthen the six team league.

As for Sunday, it should be a great game. Finally the players will be front and centre.

Once again in sports the adults took the spot-light away from the play-ers.

I guess we shouldn’t be surprised at that.

But it would have been nice to see someone take the high road and be the better organization.

Good luck to the play-ers on Sunday. That’s who we should be talking about.

Granted, it’s only three games into the season, but the Kelowna Rockets stand alone as the only un-defeated team in the West-ern Hockey League.

Expect the club’s ear-ly run of prosperity to be put to the test this week-end as the Rockets (3-0-0-0) head south to Wash-ington to take on the Tri-City Americans Friday in Kennewick, before visit-ing the Chiefs Saturday in Spokane.

“Those are two very hard buildings to play in,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “Both teams play with good pace and good tempo, and they’re both skilled. It’ll be a test for our guys.”

As for the club’s start to the season, Huska is pleased but is hesitant to read too much into the fi rst three victories.

“It’s really early, some teams have played six games already, so we’re really just getting going,” said Huska. “However, it is a lot nicer to have three

wins at this point than three losses.”

The Americans (4-2-0-0) will be looking for a measure of revenge Fri-day night after losing 4-3 to the Rockets Wednesday at Prospera Place.

Kelowna built up a 4-1 lead through 40 minutes, then leaned on 20-year-old goaltender Adam Brown who made 29 saves, in-cluding a number of key stops in the fi nal period.

Tyrell Goulbourne paced the Rockets attack Wednesday with a goal and an assist, while act-ing captain Colton Sis-sons scored for the third time in as many games. Spencer Main and rook-ie Tyson Baillie each add-

ed their second markers of the season.

In addition to the solid goaltending, Huska said it’s the play of the Spencer Main-Tyrell Goulbourne-Cody Chikie line has been key in team’s early suc-cess.

“They’ve been real-ly good for us, our most consistent line,” Huska said. “They’re playing the right way and really doing things well away from the puck. They’re committed to playing hard and you can’t ask much more than that from your players.”

The Rockets next home action is Wednes-day, Oct. 12 against the Medicine Hat Tigers. [email protected]

Unbeaten Rockets head southfor two games in Washington

The UBC Heat women’s basketball squad played its fi rst batch of CIS preseason exhibition games and learned a lot about the level of compe-tition the team will face this season.

On Sept. 29, the Heat played the Trinity Western Spartans at the Langley Event Centre, dropping the game by a fi nal score of 62-56.

On Friday, the Heat had a tougher time against a talented Cascades team from the University of Fraser Valley falling 71-36. On Saturday the UBC Heat and the UBC Thunderbirds scrimmaged

in Penticton at Penticton Secondary.

“These games were huge learning oppor-tunities,” said Heat head coach Heather Semeniuk.

“We got a good look at the level of competition we will be facing and will now go to work on things that we need to improve on and bring up to that level.

“We need to continue to train hard and improve. These teams are deep, ath-letic, talented and big. We can’t afford mental lapses from physical fatigue, we have to have the strength and conditioning to allow muscle memory to per-

form,” Semeniuk added.Against the Spartans,

freshman Emily Kanester and Angela White led the team on offense with 15 and 10 points respective-ly.

Friday night vs the Cascades, guards Madi-son Kaneda (11 points) and Kanester (8) were the only Heat players to score consistently.

The Heat will be head-ing to Calgary from Oct. 14 to 16, where they’ll play in the Mount Royal tournament. The women’s team does not have an ex-hibition game on their home fl oor this pre-sea-son.

Rob Schlender learned the price of patience at the Twin Anchors Houseboat Curling Classic—exactly $8,000.

Trailing New West-minster’s Brent Pierce by a point with three ends to go, the Edmonton skip bided his time, blanking the sixth and seventh ends before stunning his op-ponents with a three-ender in eight to secure a 5-3 win in his Twin Anchors debut Monday afternoon at the Vernon Curling Club.

Pierce, backed by Ke-lowna third Jeff Richard (skip stones), second Kevin Recksiedler and lead Grant Dezura, looked to be in control in the fi nal end with three stones pro-tecting a partially covered rock in the house. A gor-geous come-around tap-and-roll behind cover by Lemishka changed the complexion of the end.

Facing three Schlender stones, Richard came up short on a fi nal despera-tion shot to try and force

an extra end.“We didn’t really play

our best in the fi nal, all the way through. It was a pretty sloppily played fi nal by both teams, but they just happened to get the break in the fi nal end,” said a disappointed Pierce, whose rink collected $6,000 as runners-up.

Two-time defending champion, Kevin Koe, who earned a bye into the fi nal four, and Vernon’s Jim Cotter—with Kevin Folk at third, Ty Griffi th

at second, and Rick Sa-watsky at lead—each col-lected $4,500 for making the semis.

Schlender and Cotter will both be at the $80,000 Westcoast Curling Clas-sic this weekend in New Westminster.

WOMEN’S FINALAmy Nixon was at

times overwhelmed sub-bing as skip of Team Kleibrink. Lisa Eyamie, expecting her second child in March, was at times tired as the late draws wore on.

Both Calgary skips excelled under adversity and made the women’s fi nal in the Twin Anchors Curling Classic in Vernon. Nixon stopped Eyamie 8-3 in six ends to pocket $7,500. Eyamie settled for $5,500.

“I’m just relieved,” said Nixon, who with Kleibrink in Hawaii re-cuperating from surgery, added 2010 Olympic sil-ver medalist Carolyn Dar-byshire to her front end. “For me, it’s almost been humorous today that we have continued to roll and I had a great team in front of me. They saved me a number of times today when I wasn’t all there, struggling, and I’m really fortunate to have a chance to play with them.”

Bronwen Webster, who played third, and Chelsey Bell rounded out the championship four-some in a fi eld of 24. Kleibrink won the cash-spiel in 2008.

On Friday night, the Merritt Centennials will pay a visit to West Kelow-na, followed by the Chil-liwack Chiefs on Satur-day. Face off both nights is 7 p.m.

The Warriors (4-2-0-0) are coming off their fi rst shutout loss of the season on Wednesday night, as they dropped a 2-0 deci-sion in Vernon.

Facing a Vipers team known for stingy defence, Westside fi red 25 shots on goal but was unable to beat netminder Danny Todosychuk, who was named the top star of the game.

Westside netminder Steve Racine also had a strong showing, allowing just one goal on 29 shots against.

The Vipers struck for their game-winning goal midway through the second period, when Dar-ren Nowick neatly de-fl ected a Ryan Renz slap-pass into the top corner of the net during a Vipers 5-on-3 advantage.

The Warriors tried vainly for the rest of the game to fi nd an equalizer, until Vernon captain Pat McGillis sealed the vic-tory with an empty-netter with 24 seconds remain-ing.

“They just keep us to the outside” said Warriors forward Dru Morrison of the Vipers’ team defence,

adding “they don’t let us penetrate towards the net—and we can’t force our way in there.”

With the win, the Vi-pers retain a perfect 5-0 record, and jump into sole possession of fi rst place in the BCHL Interior Con-ference.

WARRIORS TRADEThe Warriors have

dealt 18-year-old forward Tyson Witala to the Prince George Spruce Kings for future considerations.

Witala, a Prince George native, played in three games with Westsis-de this season, scoring a goal and adding an assist.

He played in eight games with the Spruce Kings as an affi liate play-er last season.

The UBC Heat women’s volleyball team turned a few heads last weekend by placing third at the Lea Marc Volleyball Challenge held at the Uni-versity of Winnipeg.

The eight-team tour-nament was set up as two four-team round rob-in draws with the top two teams from each pool ad-vancing to a semi-fi nal. In the Heat’s fi rst match on Friday, they dropped the University of Regina in three sets (25-21, 25-23, 25-20).

The second match-up of the round robin was just 45 minutes after the completion of the Regina match and saw the Heat really hit their stride win-ning again in three sets against the University of Toronto squad, (26-24, 25-19, 25-14).

With fi rst place in pool play on the line, the Heat went to battle against the host University of Winni-peg Wesman in an early Saturday matchup.

The home team def-initely came out swing-ing right from the onset and fi nished off the Heat in fi ve sets (19-25, 22-25, 25-23, 25-22, 6-15). Outplayed in the fi rst two sets the Heat did not yield stretching the match to a full fi ve.

“I give full credit to our players,” said coach Steve Manuel, “they dug down deep and found ways to win the third and fourth sets.”

The Heat fi nished round robin play at 2-2, earning a matchup with the University of Mani-toba Bisons, as they ripped through their pool with three wins.

The Heat played a great semi-fi nal against a

tough University of Mani-toba team eventually fall-ing in four sets (17-25, 14-25, 25-19, 21-25).

“We defi nitely showed that this was our fi rst CIS semi-fi nal,” Manuel add-ed. “Manitoba gave us a warm welcome to the big leagues, they peppered us with a barrage of kills from their fi fth year na-tional team middle block-er and their veteran fi fth year power hitter.”

The Sunday morning bronze medal matchup ended up being a battle of the young guns as both coaches started with very young lineups. The youth-ful UBC Heat prevailed over the University of Brandon Bobcats in four sets (23-25, 25-15, 26-24, 25-20).

“All in all it was a great weekend for us,” comments Manuel. “We are learning an incred-ible amount about what it takes to be competitive in Canada West.”

UBCO’s Myrte Schön was named to the tourna-ment all-star team.

The Heat host a large high school girls tour-nament this weekend at UBC’s Okanagan cam-pus, then it’s back on the road to play in the West Coast Classic hosted by UBC and Trinity Western on Oct. 14-16.

It’s that time of year again. It’s getting dark early, it’s raining more often and foggy patches are here, there and sometimes everywhere. All of which negatively affect driving conditions. But paying attention to the changing weather and using a little seasonal road sense, helps prevent crashes and injuries that could negatively affect your auto insurance rates.

Practice safe driving in adverse weather and remember what to expect in the days ahead. When driving on wet roads after a prolonged dry spell, oil on the road tends to rise to the surface, making for extra slippery conditions, so be extra cautious and slow down. Roads that are slick with rain can cause cars to hydroplane if they are travelling too fast and need to brake suddenly.

But no matter how carefully you drive, it’s impossible to avoid a crash if you can’t see the road ahead. Remember to change your windshield wipers regularly, before their effectiveness is reduced. Likewise, check to see that your vehicle’s A/C is functioning properly and can quickly defrost or defog windows. Keep a combination snow-brush/squeegee/scraper in the car to take care of the hard stuff like ice, frost and snow on your windows before you drive away.

At 2 a.m. Sunday, November 6, Daylight Savings Time comes

to an end. Setting clocks back one hour brings darkness earlier and makes it more difficult to see the pedestrians and cyclists who share the road with you. According to ICBC, this time change is known to be followed by an increase in the number of crashes and injuries on B.C. roads. So be safe and consider driving with headlights on, because many daytime

running lights don’t automatically illuminate the tail lights.

Most important of all, Monday October 31 is when thousands of little ghosts and goblins will be out swarming our streets and

neighbourhoods in search of Halloween tricks and treats. Most will be too young and excited to think about road safety and the earlier onset of darkness. Though most children are accompanied by adults, kids are unpredictable, and it’s up to drivers to stay alert for any that may dart into traffic.

Being aware of the impending weather and driving accordingly will enhance the safety of all road users during the change of seasons. A change of season may also mean a change in your auto insurance needs. Visit your local BCAA Sales Centre to ensure you are prepared with the right coverage for the coming months.

Two Eagles pro Dean Claggett fi nished in second place at the PGA of B.C. Club Professional Championship.

Claggett’s two round score of 3-under 141 (70-71) this week in Rich-mond left him two strokes back of winner Dan Swan-son of the Guildford Golf Course.

Swanson, who picked up $2,400 for the win, went 69-70 to fi nish at 5-under par.

Claggett pocketed

$1,650.Halfway through the

fi nal round, Swanson rolled in a 40-foot putt on the par-3 ninth hole to hold a two-stroke lead over Claggett at 6-under par heading to the fi nal nine. On the 13th, a two-shot swing resulted as Swanson bogeyed and Claggett birdied tying for the lead heading to the fi nal fi ve holes.

Both leaders would bogey the diffi cult par-3 14th hole, but a Clag-

gett bogey on fi fteen hole would have him trailing by one. Claggett had to settle for par after missing a short birdie putt on the 17th hole, leaving Swan-son a one stroke lead go-ing to the 18th and fi nal hole.

On the back of the green in three on the par-5 18th, Claggett’s bird-ie attempt from the fringe slid by, giving Swanson a chance to two-putt to cap-ture the championship by two.

One of their worst games ever, rain delays and cancelations, a dom-inating pitching perform-ance and a wild game to cap the weekend.

That pretty much de-scribes how things went for the OC Coyotes base-ball team on the weekend as they hosted the Van-couver Island Baseball In-stitute for a Canadian Col-leges Baseball Conference exhibition series.

Jeff May provided the dominating pitching per-formance in a 6-1 win over VIBI. May allowed just one run and four hits in a 6-1 win and also re-ceived some solid defen-sive support. On offense

Garrett Kucher was 3 for 4 while David Mabon had a pair of hits.

It was the highlight of an exhibition weekend that saw the Coyotes get off to a horrible start, los-ing 11-1 and drop a pair of games in extra innings.

“Other than the fi rst game the weekend was successful and several new players had a chance to step up and show the coaches their potential,” said team manager Bill Bayne.

This weekend OC hosts Western Washing-ton Universityin a double header starting at 3 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. Sunday.

Kelowna Speed Skat-ing Club members, Nick Goplen, Keara Maguire, Dan Medland-Marchen and Cam Bennett made their season debut last weekend at the Oval Fall Classic Long Track Meet in Calgary.

Goplen, after near-ly a year’s absence from the competitive circuit re-turned to the 400m oval by setting personal bests in 3 distances. The biggest improvement came in the 5000m where he shaved over 13 seconds from his previous time by posting a 6:48.41, good for 8th place amongst a mixed fi eld of Chinese, Korean and Canadian skaters. His previous time set in 2009 was 7:00.58. With a 6th place fi nish, Goplen also reduced his 1500m time to 1:51.97 from a previ-ous best time of 1:52.9. In the 1000m, he improved his best time to 1:13.93 from a previous best time of 1:14.3. While still in a heavy training cycle,

Goplen was very pleased with his progress.

Dan Medland-Marchen, in his fi rst full year training in the sport, took 2 seconds off his 1000m time with a new time of 1:20.63. He also skated close to his per-sonal best in the 500m with a season best time of 41.07. Meanwhile, Cam-eron Bennett focused on his longer distances and came close to last year’s personal in the 3000m. Meanwhile, Keara Ma-guire posted some impres-sive early season times in the 1500m, 3000m and 5000m.

Kelowna’s short track specialists Jesse Keca, Jordan Rosborough and Chris Neykov head to Calgary this weekend for the season opener in short Track. The top skaters in Western Canada will con-vene to test their skating skills and record qualify-ing times for the Can Jun-ior Championships to be held in December.

Until last week, second-year Okanagan Sun defensive back Rob-bie Yochim had no idea who James Green was.

It wasn’t until then he learned that the former Sun running back/defen-sive back, who now plays for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, is the Canadian Junior Football League’s single season and career punt return leader.

Green, who played with the Sun from 2001 to 2004, was a threat to score every time he touched the football, and while Yochim may still be a step away from that type of talk, he just may not be.

That ability has some within the Sun ranks sug-gesting he has the po-tential to put up Green-like numbers in the next couple seasons with the brown and orange.

After a solid rookie season, the RSS grad has taken his kick return game to a new level in 2011. As he has progressed into a full time defensive back, his ability to stick like glue to an opposing re-ceiver seems to get better every week.

Two weeks ago he turned his second quarter interception against Kam-loops into a spectacular 32-yard return for a touch-

down, showing again how dangerous he can be with his hands on the football. His return averages have both ballooned this year, with his kick return aver-age fi ve yards better than last season and his punt return average almost 4 yards improved from his rookie season.

His efforts have not gone unnoticed, with

Yochim twice being named the CJFL special team players of the week.

Head coach Jason Casey says it is part of the evolution of a high school star.

“I think it’s confi -dence,” said Casey. “I think he’s trusting his blockers in front of him, he’s trusting how he’s able to make guys miss to hit

the corner, he’s trusting his speed. He is seeing the fi eld better, all around he is becoming that much better of a returner and I think he has the ability to score on anybody at this point.

“He’s not just seeing his blocks,” added Casey.

Return game a

strength for Sun

“He is helping the guys in front to set up the blocks so he is just playing the system really well. He is a year older now, he’s more rounded and coupled with his athletic ability that’s a good combination. “

Yochim says he is a lot more confi dent this season and feels is sim-ply a matter of being more comfortable as a second-year player.

“Last year it was dif-ferent from high school,” said Yochim, who has to-talled more than 1,000

yards in punt and kick returns in his fi rst two BCFC seasons. “Every-one was so much bigger and faster than they were there. I am more used to that now and I think I use my blocks better.”

Yochim is at or near the top of all three BCFC

return categories (missed fi eld goal returns, punt returns and kick returns) and, with one game still to go in the 2011 season, his numbers are actually slightly better than those of Green at this point in his junior career.

With an all-import-

ant game this weekend at the Apple Bowl against the VI Raiders, the bat-tle of fi eld position will be critical. Yochim and his return partner Matt Walk-er will be looked at to give the Sun offence as short a fi eld as possible.

Yochim has taken one

kick return to the oppos-ition end zone already this year. While the timing of another this weekend may be too much to ask, the valuable yardage he has been offering up will go a long way to a Sun victory.

Kick off Sunday at the Apple Bowl is 1 p.m.

Sun from A34

CAPITAL NEWS

Jennifer SmithSTAFF REPORTER

He may have more energy than fi ve men, more bravado than a matador in London and a pass-port full of stamps, but for some strange reason Kelowna Com-munity Theatre is Pavlo’s “fa-vourite place in all of Canada.”

Either that or he’s done more promo interviews than all of the indie bands coming for next week’s Pop Okanagan music fes-tival combined.

“I love the Okanagan. I love Kelowna. I love the theatre. I can’t wait,” he declared in inter-view for his upcoming show.

The Greek Canadian guitar player and singer is billed as “the most successful independent art-ist to come out of Canada,” per-

forming 150-plus shows per year. And in all seriousness, he

shows he’s got energy to spare the second he gets on the phone.

Growing up in Toronto, he says, his father made sure he had access to whatever musical in-struments he wanted to try and the work ethic to appreciate them.

“If I wanted a piano, he got me a piano. If I wanted a guitar, he got me a guitar,” he said.

The game plan worked. Now nine albums into his ca-

reer, Pavlo says he still loves his chosen vocation as much as the day he started. “I play all over the world these days. For me, I love to play; whether there’s 800 people there or 10,000, it’s all good. The fact that people have spent their hard-earned money to spend two hours with me,

I’m going to give the best show I can.”

Of course, there are the days he spends playing for people who might rank a little higher than the average Joe on the impression scale, as well.

Pavlo has played for Prince Charles, for example, as one of only eight artists selected to do so on his Canadian tour in 2001.

He’s also friends with a musical cast of Toronto play-ers that include singer-songwrit-er Amy Sky and Canadian tenor John McDermott, and will regu-larly jump in on a studio session or onto a stage when requested.

That’s the beauty of really knowing how to play your instru-ment, according to Pavlo.

“We don’t make computer-ized music. There’s no lip synch-

ing here,” he said. “Sometimes a song is supposed to be three min-utes, I’ll make it 17 minutes. It’s very exciting.”

Like Keith Urban, who wowed audiences at the South Okanagan Events Centre, Pav-lo too gives away a guitar at every concert, and this visit, he’s also giving audiences a sneak peak at a brand new album.

Pavlo’s “Six String Blvd” will be released Tuesday, Oct. 18, the day he plays the Kelowna Com-munity Theatre. He will be tour-ing Canada, the U.S., Germany, the U.K., China, India, Singapore and South Korea.

Tickets, $35.84/person, can be purchased through Select Your Tickets, -250-762-5050, www.selectyourtickets.com.

Gary A. WarnerCONTRIBUTOR

HILO, Hawaii—“Hilo — it is what it is” probably isn’t a tourism slogan that would get a thumbs-up from the Big Island city’s chamber of commerce.

But I don’t mean it as a put-down. It’s just ad-vice from a longtime vis-itor who loves Hawaii’s “second city.” I also know the worst thing anyone can do for Hilo is to try to oversell it. No one is going to spend a week-long honeymoon in Hilo or plan a Wall Street cor-porate retreat or a cham-pionship golf tournament there.

That’s all over on the other side, the rocky brown Kona Coast, with its 10 inches of rain per year and $400 per night megaresort hotel rooms.

Hilo, on the other hand, is a place often de-fi ned by its defi ciencies. No famous gourmet res-taurants, no luxury ho-tels, no postcard-worthy beaches. It’s more often wet and gloomy com-pared with the west side. Rain? Count on it. More than 125 inches a year.

But it has something you won’t fi nd while strolling the T-shirt shops over in Kailua-Kona.

“Hilo is more relaxing and down-to-earth,” she Wilma Kuamoo, a wait-ress at Ken’s House of Pancakes, a locals hang-out. “In other places, I think people have lost the Hawaiian spirit. They don’t have time to stop and talk. They’re too busy. Hilo isn’t that way.”

Hilo is getting a boost, or maybe a test, with Con-tinental’s new nonstop

service from Los Angel-es. It’s the fi rst West Coast nonstop to Hilo since 1983. Previously, visitors to Hilo had to fl y to Hono-lulu and change planes (and often terminals). The planes pull up to the over-size Hilo International Air-port, a remnant of a 1970s attempt to spur tourism to the area.

Tourism archae-ologists can visit Ban-yan Drive, which seems caught sometime before the 1980s. The trees that fl ank the curving park-way have plaques to the famous visitors who were honored with a tree plant-ing during their visit. Babe Ruth and Amelia Ear-hart are on the drive. The most recent famous name is Richard Nixon _ when he was running for vice president in 1952.

The names underscore the reality that Hilo has become a tourism back-water in the past half-cen-tury, ever since the airport in Kailua-Kona meant that visitors to the big re-sorts no longer needed to make a stop in Hilo on the way to two weeks of loun-ging at the Mauna Kea or Kona Village.

But the very things that Hilo isn’t _ slick, pricey, touristy _ make it a draw for Hawaii vaca-tioners looking for a dif-ferent experience. Disney recently opened a resort on Oahu, and more than a few commentators have riffed that the resort is un-necessary because tour-ism, the islands’ No. 1 in-dustry, has already turned them into one big theme park.

Hilo has been eclipsed in popularity by the Kona side. The Big Island is big

_ you could fi t all the other islands inside it and still have lots of room. On the west coast, visitors drive long distances to get to a “destination” resort where enough greenery has been planted and watered to make you forget that you are on the brown, rocky fl ank of an old volcano.

Seeing the west side from the air is known to give vacationers “Kona shock,” an affl iction that hits when you realize the weeklong vacation des-tination looks more like the moon than a tropical

paradise. Once inside the resort gates, the irrigation and gardeners can hide it all pretty well. That’s not a problem in Hilo. All that rain may be a nuisance, but it makes it the garden side of the island.

Hilo, while it has places for tourists, is a real town maintained for locals. Its green hills and waterfalls are perfectly in tune with the lush Hawaii of most travelers’ imagin-ations.

Nature has been Hilo’s greatest strength and its weak point. The crescent-

shaped bay sits at the foot of two volcanoes, Mau-na Kea and Mauna Loa. They are close enough that in the past century, lava has licked repeatedly at the edges of town.

But it is the ocean that has twice ravaged Hilo. The recent disasters in Indonesia and Japan have only added to the pub-lic interest about the kill-er waves of the kind that have smashed the area at least fi ve times since the early 1800s. Hilo was struck in 1946 and again in 1960, the latter fl at-

tening the downtown, which was moved back several hundred feet from the water’s edge after the second tsunami.

Hilo has turned its sometimes deadly rela-tionship with nature to its advantage. The city is the jumping-off point for tours of Kilauea, the most active of the is-land’s volcanoes. The lava and smoke have steadily moved away from Hilo in recent decades, though as late as 1984, lava from the currently dormant Mau-na Loa made it to the out-

skirts of town.The Imiloa Astronomy

Center spotlights the work done far upslope at the ob-servatories atop 13,796-foot Mauna Kea. It’s un-like any other planetar-ium you’re likely to visit because it ties the science of the cosmos to how that science was interpreted in traditional Hawaiian legends and was used by Polynesians on their epic voyages across the Pacif-ic.

Spending Christmas in Victoria, B.C. is a magical experience.

Victoria dresses itself in festive lights and glimmering decorations. Downtown is a wonderland of 19th century storefronts, local carolers, Christmas activities. We will spend our time at Victoria’s fi nest

hotel, the Hotel Grand Pacifi c. Make this Christmas season a special occasion for you and your loved ones.

All that rain has an up-side. Hilo is home to some of the most beautiful gar-dens and parks in the islands. Plumeria, orchids and anthurium bloom magnifi cently here, along-side the massive banyan and monkeypod trees.

My favorite stop in Hilo is Liliuokalani Park, out near Banyan Drive. Though it is named after Hawaii’s last queen (over-thrown in 1893 by a co-terie of businessmen who later pushed for U.S. an-nexation), it’s actually a Japanese garden with red arch bridges, stone lan-

terns and bonsai, the neat-ly miniaturized plants that require meticulous gar-dening skills. Nearby is Coconut Island, once the home of a traditional Ha-waiian temple, or heiau. It can be reached by a short bridge.

Garden fans can get more at the larger Nani

Mau Gardens, a botan-ical collection of native plants and imported speci-mens brought by settlers and traders from around the world. A somewhat less manicured environ-ment is available at the Hawaii Tropical Botanic-al Garden, which includes a large rain forest among

thousands of species of plants.

Downtown has re-tained an old Hawaii feel that so many island tourist towns have either wiped out or turned into a sickly sweet nostalgia. Here the stuccoed buildings and clapboard-sided stores, some still with corrugated

tin roofs, are the real deal.Hilo was, above all, a

port, and it attracted fi sh-ermen and workers from around the world. You’ll fi nd the usual Hawai-ian mix of Japanese, Chi-nese and Filipino. But here there are also bits of Russia and the Caribbean, Portugal and the Midwest of the U.S.

The big annual event in Hilo is the Merrie Mon-arch Festival in April, which celebrates David Kalakaua, the last king of Hawaii, who reigned from 1874 to 1891. Kalakaua tried to roll back many of the restrictions on trad-itional Hawaiian arts im-posed by European mis-sionaries, who arrived on the islands after Captain James Cook’s “discovery” of the islands in 1778. The Merrie Monarch Festival has parades, hula com-petitions, food fests and arts displays. It’s the only time of year when getting a room in Hilo can be a chore, I’ve found.

Foodies and people who like to eat should try to time a visit to in-clude the twice-weekly farmers market. Farmers truck in local fruits _ pa-payas and mangos are the best—along with maca-damia nuts that the re-gion is famous for. You’ll also fi nd pastries and pro-duce, cheeses and mush-rooms (another outgrowth of Hilo’s famous rains). It’s held at the corner of Mamo Street at Kame-hameha Avenue. The Suisan fi sh auction was a longtime early morning tourist draw, but it’s no longer held.

For fi sh, head to the Seaside Restaurant and Aqua Farm. It’s not the prettiest spot in the islands for dinner, crowded be-tween some industrial buildings near the airport. But it’s a place to try moi, the traditional Hawaiian fi sh once reserved for the kings. It was kapu _ for-bidden _ for any com-moner to eat it. While Seaside’s version won’t make me forget the moi at Mama’s Fish House in Maui, it comes at about a third of the price.

Whether you fi nd it inspiring or depressing, a visit to Lyman Mis-sion House is important to understand the West-

ern infl uences that were brought to the islands. It’s the home of Hilo’s fi rst missionary, David Ly-man, and refl ects how it would have looked in 1854. The house is a mix of here and there _ built in a New England style that wouldn’t be out of place in a Massachusetts vil-lage green, but with trop-ical koa wood fl oors. The house has interesting ex-hibits on local history, along with the fl ora and fauna the missionaries and those who followed discovered or brought to the area. The nearby Haili Church also looks like it was beamed in from the Boston area, circa 1857. By the 20th century, com-merce had added ethnic as well as religious diversity to the area, which is mani-fested by the Taishoji Soto Mission, a Buddhist tem-ple erected in 1913.

There are two choices for those who want to see what all that rain does be-sides fall on your head and car roof, and make fl owers bloom. Rainbow Falls, on Waianuenue Avenue, is a fi ve-minute drive from downtown.

“It’s best on a clear morning, when the sun hits the water just right and you get the rain-bow effect,” said Sheryl Omori, who helps run Ex-treme Exposure, a shop in downtown Hilo that sells art-quality, large-format nature shots.

But if you are up for a short drive and short hike, head to Akaka Falls State Park, a half-hour or less north of town. The falls tumble 420 feet into a nar-row gorge. This is that lush Hawaiian fantasyland that people crave _ and you won’t fi nd it on the Kona Coast. Visitors can get an OK look from up top, but the best vantage points are found by taking the trail for better viewpoints. It takes 20 minutes and can be quite steep.

Brian J. CantwellCONTRIBUTOR

PROSSER, Wash.—An adventurous crowd of foodies surrounded me at the Desert Wind winery’s long dining table.

As we started in on the fried green tomatoes, we noticed a garnish nobody recognized: what looked like little yellow cherries topped by tiny corn-husk winglets. The little wings were swept back as if part of our salad course was ready to join the kestrels soaring over the nearby Horse Heaven Hills.

Was that husk edible or not? Should we ask?

“I already ate mine,” confi ded Sheila, a Seattle-ite sitting next to me.

OK, I confess, I had, too, washing it down with the suggested wine, a crisp Wahluke Slope sauvignon blanc. The husk was, uh, crunchy.

“These are what we call ground cherries,” an-nounced our host, Chef Frank Magana. “They grow on a bush like a tomatillo. I peeled back the husks to look like bird wings. The husk won’t hurt you if you eat it, but normally we don’t.”

Ah.This was Desert

Wind’s monthly, anyone-is-welcome Supper Club, and it served to spotlight a

big trend in wine-country tourism: helping visitors enjoy wine together with local food.

The Yakima Riv-er’s fertile valley and sur-rounding sun-toasted hills, the birthplace of Washing-ton’s wine industry—still producing nearly half the state’s wine—is the per-fect venue for uniting lo-cal wines with the abun-dance of fresh vegetables, tree fruits, meats and cheeses that come from just up the road.

It’s tourism with an emphasis on the “mmmm.”

Yakima Valley wine-makers capitalized on the trend this summer, pub-lishing a deck of recipe cards on which 34 winer-ies matched one of their wines with a favorite reci-pe, often from the family running the winery. For example, Fries Family Apple Cake is paired with the family’s Desert Wind riesling.

Wineries took turns in July and August offer-ing tastes of their featured dish and wine to tasting-room guests. It’s the kind of thing you can expect more of here.

“For us it was a good choice, because while there are lots of great winemaking areas in the state, the valley has so much bounty (of food) as

well,” said Barbara Glov-er, director of Wine Ya-kima Valley, an associa-tion of winemakers and grape growers.

“Our fruit-forward wines have fl avors that pair really well with food.”

I sampled the fea-tured recipes at Prosser’s Vintner’s Village, a one-stop wine lover’s haven just off Interstate 82 that’s home to 10 modern tast-ing rooms plus a wine-and-food bar called Wine O’Clock.

Milbrandt Vineyards

served baba ghanoush, a smoky eggplant spread on toasted pita bread, paired with ruby-red grenache. Gamache Vintners of-fered a playful peach and riesling smoothie, made from peaches grown next to their vineyard.

Promoting the wares of farming neighbors came easily for winery folks such as Tara Divers, tasting-room manager at Milbrandt.

And you can meet Buggirl.

Insects of all kinds fas-cinated Stacey Gingras

as a child, thus the name of her business, Buggirl’s Garden. The Prosser na-tive is a regular vendor at the market, and also deliv-ers produce to local win-eries and restaurants.

Besides Milbrandt’s eggplant, she provided the green tomatoes and ground cherries for our Desert Wind dinner.

“It’s just a lot of fun,” Gingras said. “I’ve been working with Frank (Magana) for about three years. If he has a special event and has a recipe in mind, he’ll call and ask if

I have something. Green tomatoes? I’ve got green, red, whatever you want.”

And the ideas fl ow both ways.

“I’ll call up (a chef) and ask, ‘How about some radish silique for the sal-ad tonight?’ It’s a funny-looking bulbous seed pod that’s crispy but has a cool taste also.”

Winemaker’s din-ners, with those adven-turous diners, are perfect for the occasional novel-ty produce that Gingras likes to mix with the stan-dards such as green beans

or squash.“The audience I have,

I can introduce some-thing like that and I know they’ll love it,” Magana said. “We talk with Stacey once a week, and we even go out to her farm. We want to know our farmers as much as we know our winemakers.”

Those efforts are bringing repeat custom-ers, such as Joe and Shari Neuenschwander, of Issaquah, who came to the Desert Wind Supper Club last month for their third time since summer 2010.

Thankful !

I must admit to have always taken a par-ticular shine to

Thanksgiving weekend. I suppose my love for

the festive day of thanks spins back to my child-hood and fond mem-ories of my family (com-plete with Grandma and Grandpa Atkinson) gath-ered around the table to chow down on a scrump-tious dinner.

Dad and I were al-ways on our best behav-iour at such times, which

meant a period of tempor-ary peace in the Hodge house.

Everyone enjoyed the dinner, except of course the turkey.

Aside from the family

gathering, the other sig-nifi cant memory of this particular weekend was that my mom and I would spend the earlier part of the day traditionally har-vesting in the bounty of fresh grown vegetables in the yard.

Mom believed Thanksgiving weekend was the perfect time to haul in the various veg-gies such as spuds, corn, squash, etc.

I maintain that trad-ition to this day—and

look forward to digging in the dirt this weekend.

Among the many gifts of the garden I anticipate unearthing on Saturday and Sunday is my experi-ment at growing sweet potatoes.

‘Experts’ say you can’t grow them here, but my box of them (covered in black plastic to keep the soil warmer than normal) may provide some gems.

***Since there is an elec-

tion coming up (just

in case you somehow missed that reality), that means this is my second to last column until after the day of voting Nov. 19 as I will be running again for city council.

Therefore, I’ll take this chance to remind you of a few top notch events.

On Oct. 21, the very worthy fundraising dinner event for Ozanam House takes place.

All funds raised at the dinner will go toward the facility’s rehabilitation

programs, which direct-ly benefi t clients and help them return to independ-ent living.

Ozanam House is a 19-bed supportive hous-ing project located in cen-tral Kelowna for men struggling with addic-tion and/or mental health issues.

They operate the tran-sition house for local men who would otherwise be homeless, or at risk of be-coming homeless.

The house has been in operation for almost fi ve years, during which time they’ve have helped more than 175 men.

The group’s slogan is to “provide our clients with a home, health and hope.”

Ozanam House is owned and operated by the Society of Saint Vin-cent de Paul, an inter-national organization committed to serving the poor and underprivileged in local communities.

For further info call Doug Brown at 250-878-0045.

***Meanwhile on Nov.

26, my seventh annual Night of the Arts concert/silent auction takes place at the Kelowna Commun-ity Theatre.

Headliners this year once again include Day Late and A Dollar Short, Robert Fine and the Dreamland Band, Deb Stone, and Cowboy Bob among others.

A ‘surprise’ popu-lar Okanagan band to be named soon is also ex-pected to close out the evening.

Day Late is an amaz-ing bluegrass band, Rob-ert Fine and his Dream-land Band are simply superb, Deb Stone is a dynamic vocalist that can rock any theatre and Cowboy Bob play all the great hits from the 1920s, ‘30s and ‘40s.

This year, Metro Cen-tral on Water Street is the benefi ciary of the many musicians and artists do-nating their time. Metro Central is crafting a super silent auction event.

For more info contact myself at 250-979-7254.

With the spirit of Thanksgiving in the air I also want to send very sincere and special wishes to four close friends who are currently dealing with some signifi cant health issues.

Sean Connor, Barry Urness, Al Paterson, and Howie Meeker are each dealing with health chal-lenges.

I am amazed by each of them for their positive attitude, determination and grit.

Hopefully, we will all connect within the next few weeks for a pint or a coffee and share more laughs and lies. I love you guys. Looks like the bot-tom of the page is nearly here…so I’ll see you next week.

MOTORINGNeil MooreCONTRIBUTOR

That thing got a Hemi in it? Sa-weeeet!

It was a tag line from the early Dodge Hemi TV spots that seemed to capture the zeitgeist be-fore fuel prices really got out of hand. Raw power was good, and this potent V8 engine, with its hemi-spherical combustion chamber, had it in spades.

And by early, I don’t mean during the 1950’s when this engine appeared in the Chrysler New York-er, Imperial and 300B. Nor am I referring to the legendary 426 Hemi of the mid to late sixties that powered the Plymouth Barracuda and Roadrun-ner, Dodge Charger, Chal-lenger and Super Bee.

I’m talking mid last decade, when these com-mercials, featuring a couple of yokels in an old Plymouth Duster, were hyping the company’s latest version of the Hemi which was beginning to show up in the Ram, 300C, Charger and other offerings.

Although these spots lent an oafi sh, comical air to the product, make no mistake today’s 5.7-litre Hemi, with its FuelSaver Multi-Displacement sys-tem that shuts off four cylinders under light load, is anything but unrefi ned.

As are the cars pow-ered by them, like the all-new 2011 Dodge Charger ñ my tester for the week. In terms of technology and capability, it is light years ahead of its pre-decessor.

All-new for 2011, to-dayís model is inspired by the second-generation (1968-70) Charger with cues like the dual-scal-loped aluminum hood, large bodyside scallops starting in the front doors, and the classic Coke bot-tle profi le.

Still, the current-gen-eration Charger isn’t as true to the original as to-days Challenger but that’s not a bad thing. While the 1970 model had a longer and leaner silhouette, to-dayís car, with its higher beltline and much shorter front and rear overhangs, appears more stable, more

rooted to the asphalt. And it doesn’t have a set of un-gainly rear leaf springs in full view.

All that heritage stuff aside, the 2011 Charger does make a bold impres-sion both coming and go-ing, with its large chrome-on-black split crosshair grille, fl anked by sinis-ter projector-style head-lamps, and from the rear, with its wide stance, LED taillamps, available deck-lid spoiler, and dual ex-hausts housed within the black rear fascia.

I did like the original modelís wide, black grille with hideaway headlamps, but Iíll assume it didn’t fi t in with Dodge’s now sig-nature look.

For 2011, the Charger comes with two engine options. The new 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 (available in SE, SXT and SXT Plus models), replaces a couple of smaller sixes. It deliv-ers a solid 292 hp and 260 lb/ft of torque, which is a signifi cant bump from the 2.7-litre engine’s 178 hp and 190 lb/ft, and the 3.5 litreís 250 and 250.

My tester, the top-trim

R/T AWD ($39,995 plus options), gets the afore-mentioned 5.7-litre Hemi V8. While I’m impressed with the Pentastar’s out-put, having driven it in other vehicles, the Hemi proves there’s no replace-

ment for displacement, delivering 370 hp and 395 lb/ft of torque.

Itís quiet when idling, with just a hint of burble, but stomp the pedal and it belts out a throaty exhaust note that only big V8 can

deliver. That along with enough juice to launch this full-size car from rest to 100 km/h in under six seconds.

Having access to this kind of power and torque in a rear-driver is a joy in

nice weather, but a pain on slippery roads, even with today’s technologies that include electronic stability control with traction con-

THE ALL-NEW 2011 Dodge Charger takes its cues from the second-generation (1968-70) classic. Note the dual-scalloped aluminum hood, large bodyside scallops in the front doors, and the classic “Coke bottle”side profi le.

trol and hill start assist.My tester delivered

the best of both worlds with an all-wheel-drive system that employs an active transfer case and front-axle disconnect sys-tem. It works seamless-ly in the background, dis-connecting the front axle when AWD is not need-ed. Not only does this im-prove fuel economy, but provides the driving dy-namics of a RWD vehicle for more spirited hand-ling. And if you’re so in-clined, you can even turn off the traction control.

There’s still a pile of safety tech worth men-tioning in the 2011 Char-ger, features undreamed of in the original. Aside from standard equipment like four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and brake as-sist, not to mention sev-en airbags, there’s ready alert braking and rainy day brake support, which helps dry the rotors by lightly applying the brake pads.

There’s still plenty more performance stuff to talk about, such as the R/T modelís 3.06 rear axle ratio, but in the interests of space, Iíll refer fellow gearheads to the Dodge web site.

For those considering the Charger for purposes other than accumulating a mitt full of speeding tick-ets, it is worth noting that this vehicle is quite civil-ized if you resist the urge to mash the accelerator.

Chrysler and Dodge interiors, for example, have moved upmarket and the Charger is no ex-ception. My tester was equipped with Nappa leather seating, heated front and back, and with eight-way power front seats; leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift-er knob, with matching faux leather inserts in the doors.

Overall, there’s good use of soft-touch materi-als, chrome and alum-inum accents, along with fi t and fi nish that is as good as many premium sedans I’ve driven. And the abundance of standard and available technolo-gies for this model puts it on par with just about any-thing in its segment.

The list is too long to print here, but a sam-

pling of standard con-tent for the R/T AWD in-cludes keyless entry, du-al-zone climate control, steering wheel cruise and audio controls, heated and cooled front cupholders (these really do work), driver information centre, tilt/telescopic steering, six-speaker premium audio system and Uconnect 8.4-inch touch-screen info-tainment centre, which in-tegrates audio, handsfree phone and texting, climate control and system set-tings, along with available Garmin navigation and rearview camera.

I found the Uconnect system easy to work and to read, which is no small thing for those of us now wearing reading glasses. HVAC controls were in-tuitive, and with the large rear display (and available parking sensors), it was a breeze to back into tight parking spots. I would in-vest in this latter feature, as rear visibility is other-wise trimmed by the trunk-mounted spoiler.

The list of option groups and their features is nearly as long as the standard equipment, mak-ing it impossible to fully cover.

Some of what was in-cluded in my tester, which had enough options (with destination charges) to push the price just shy of $45K, are the follow-ing: rain-sensing wipers, upgraded 506-watt nine-speaker audio with sub-woofer, seat memory, power pedals and steer-ing adjust, heated steering wheel, navigation, adapt-ive cruise control with for-ward collision warning, blind spot and cross path detection, and ParkSense rear park assist.

Indeed, there is no shortage of availablenanny technologies, all of which work just fi ne. But if you’re in city traffi c or constantly in and out of busy parking lots, the in-cessant warnings can fray your nerves. Fortunately these can be disabled.

Leg room is abun-dant for all fi ve passen-gers, although the sloping roofl ine can make head room tight for tall passen-gers in the rear. Seats are wide and supportive, and the quiet cabin and rea-sonably pliant ride would make long road trips a pleasure for all.

Kia designer unveils a sizzlerJim RobinsonCONTRIBUTOR

FRANKFURT: Sur-

prise is the shadow of what’s next.

I was struck by that phrase printed on the back

page of the press informa-tion for the Kia GT Con-cept revealed at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show.

From seemingly out of nowhere here was a full European sports sedan with rear-drive from a company that’s never, to my knowledge, built a rear-drive passenger car.

That is until now.With an eight-speed

transmission coupled to a turbocharged, direct fuel injection V6 producing a potent 390 hp and 393 lb/ft of torque, the GT Con-cept has wonderful, liquid lines.

Where the rearview mirrors should be, there are slender stalks with a rear-facing TV camera that reproduces the im-ages on small monitors at each side of the A pillars.

The front bucket seats seem to fl oat above the fl oor and access is through large French-style doors on either side.

The amount of thought and planning that must have gone into this is daunting.

But, to my great sur-prise, instead of taking up to a year or two to go from a drawing to the mock-up, it took something like eight months to produce the fi nished product.

“We got the approv-al around last Christmas,” said Kia Chief Designer Peter Schreyer with a hint of a smile.

This is the third time I’ve interviewed him, not because he is currently THE hot designer, but be-cause of his candor and readiness to answer any question.

The interview took place on the second day of the Frankfurt show. All the big reveals had been done the day before and the de-signers from other fi rms were long gone.

But Schreyer was working the journalists. We met with him at 3:15 p.m. and he still had two more interviews lined up.

“I do it because I want to promote the brand,” he said.

“It’s important that you tell about the design language and how it is re-fl ected in each car.”

As for the GT Con-cept, there is more than just one car in there.

Without committing Schreyer said a coupe and/or cabriolet is possible.

If he shortened the wheelbase, I asked, could we expect a sportscar?

Again he just smiled.“For some time now I

have been asked when is Kia going to have a halo car,” he said.

“The GT Concept, I think, puts that to rest.”

THE KIA GT Concept was unveiled at the

Geneva Motor Show.CONTRIBUTED

Call it car guy senti-mentality, but I’ve always felt that automotive affairs follow the same stages as any relationship.

There’s the initial introduction – all mood lighting and limited grab-bing, usually at an auto-motive show.

Then there’s the awk-ward fi rst date when you get to know each other a little better - probably dur-ing the automotive launch and subsequent short test drive.

But all the while you are wondering the usual questions about compat-ibility and a possible long-term relationship.

What’s it really like? Can I live with it? Will my mother like

it?I was about to fi nd

that out as I arrived at GM Canada to pick up the 2012 Chevrolet Volt.

The Volt is an electric car. It houses a 400 lb-plus 16kWh lithium-ion bat-tery that provides 40-80 km of electric-powered range. The battery rechar-ges in four hours through a 240V source or in about 10 hours through a regu-lar 120V wall outlet. GM decided on the size of the battery and its capabil-ities based on surveys

that determined that up to eighty percent of com-muters would fi t within that range.

“Great,” you’re think-ing. “What happens when go beyond that range and run out of power?”

Well, you don’t. And that is the genius

of the Volt’s extended range engineering. You see, the car also harnesses an 85 hp 1.4-litre gasoline engine that couples with a secondary electric motor to regenerate enough elec-tricity to power the vehicle for another 500 km. Or for as long as the gas in the tank holds out.

In theory, you could drive this car like any other normal vehicle, fi ll-ing up with gas, and never plug it in again.

But that would be just plain stupid and I was eager to fi nd out just how much I could mini-mize my weekly fuel bill by plugging in overnight. Would the premise live up to the promise?

First, George from GM gave me the walk-around. And it struck me again how good-look-ing the car is, smooth and sleek with slippery aero-dynamics rivaled only by GM’s fi rst EV1.

MOTORING

sively styled with an al-most Camaro-like aura of machismo, and black pan-els contrast the body col-our in a handsome two-tone treatment that gar-nered compliments all week, based on esthetics alone.

The Volt has an ele-gant modernity that re-fl ects its unique abilities without resorting to the over-the-top techno styl-ing eccentricities of some

adolescent science experi-ment.

Inside, you’ll fi nd tech-nerd heaven with a variety of display screens and a unique console that sets the Volt apart.

The T-shaped battery, running down the centre of the car like a drive tun-nel, forces a four-buck-et seat layout. Second row space is limited. Like many compacts, the Volt serves best as a couple’s car with occasional rear seat use only. Looking

back through the hatch-back gives a split-win-dow rear view a la Hon-da CR-X or Pontiac Aztek (the last time I will men-tion that vehicle in com-parison).

The rear cargo area is reasonably roomy (300 litres) with cubbies and fuse access on the sides and a fl oor panel that folds up to reveal the 120V re-movable charger, a com-pressor (no spare tire) and access to the batteries.

Familiarization over, I

left GM Canada, the elec-tric motor whirring as quietly as a golf cart, the battery fully charged with a 65 km range reading.

I topped up the tank with 66 cents worth of gas for an accurate fuel econ-omy test. The drive home from GM Canada is al-most exactly 100 km and I watched the EV range tick down until the gas-oline engine kicked in at 67.8 km.

If you pay atten-tion when that gas en-

gine starts you can detect a thrumming vibration but the transition usually seems seamless. The Volt is astonishingly quiet, the only sound coming from air drag and the low-roll-ing resistance tires hitting the pavement.

There are very specifi c circumstances at highway speed when that gas en-gine will directly assist the powertrain but you won’t notice and those technical details are better explored online than in this short re-

view. With the engine run-

ning the generator over the last 22 km, my total fuel usage over the 100 km drive home was 1.6 litres. Pretty good but you can see why the car was designed for those pre-dictable commuters. The more you drive on gaso-line-generated electricity, the higher your fuel con-sumption average will creep.

This car wasn’t real-ly meant for me because, as a news photographer, I drive from assignment to assignment, beyond sim-ple two-way commuting.

But somehow, on the second day, I did even bet-ter, plugging in at work whenever possible to re-plenish the battery, man-aging a 110 km day of pure EV driving, and using no gas at all.

On Day 3, I drove it like I’d stolen it. I had al-most depleted the battery the day before and did not charge it overnight. I was trying for a worst fuel economy scenario.

And I was trying hard, power mode set on sport, air conditioner pumping away, fl ooring the pedal gleefully at every oppor-tunity. This car may have been designed for tech-savvy early-adopters but even performance buffs would raise an eyebrow at the Volt’s wheel-spin-ning acceleration. There’s plenty of snap off the line, poised smooth and sure handling, and enough mid-range oomph and passing power to please.

I could probably have applied myself further with an added load of lug-gage or with all the seats fi lled with fatsos, but the worst mileage I managed that day averaged out to 6.8L/100km. Even when you’re pushing the lim-its, the inherent hybrid traits of regenerative brak-ing and idle-stop ignition mitigate fuel usage.

During the rest of the week, I returned to san-ity and with prudent plug-ging in and frugal driv-ing, my grand totals, not counting my single day of idiocy, worked out to 654 km, using only 14.3 litres of fuel, for an over-

all fuel effi ciency average of 2.18L/100km.

A few last quick facts. The battery warranty

is for 8yrs/160,000km. Sample electricity costs per full charge average $0.84 in Quebec, $1.14 in B.C., and $1.34 in Ontario but utility prices will vary.

The Volt lists for $41,545. Provincial incen-tives reduce the price by $8,230 in Ontario, $7,769 in Quebec, while B.C. is still thinking about it. And, speaking of incentives, in many jurisdictions, the Volt is a free pass into the H.O.V. lanes. That fact alone might make the Volt worth its weight in gold to urban commuters.

Now, whenever new technology debuts you will hear naysayers who love to whittle everything down to whether or not “it pays for itself”. But based on that philosophy, I guess I should never have owned a sports car, taken a vaca-tion or had children.

Yes, the charging infrastructure is still in its infancy but the Volt is an able performer, a scientif-ic milestone on the road to sustainability and a prod-uct that has to be weighed in the balance against per-sonal attitudes and con-victions. It does offer en-vironmentally conscious consumers a viable elec-trically powered alterna-tive, it reduces emis-sions and gasoline usage and it is defi nitely a more ecological commuting choice.

And I think your moth-er would like it too.

It could be the start of a beautiful relationship.

Jim RobinsonCONTRIBUTOR

QUEBEC CITY: Chevrolet has big plans for its smallest car, the 2012 Sonic.

It is forecasting a 30 per cent growth in Canada in the small car segment by 2015. Chevrolet has thus set a goal of doubling its current market share to 17 per cent.

There’s no stronger market in North America for small cars than Que-bec and no better place to launch the 2012 Chev-rolet Sonic than Quebec City and it was amazing how many people noticed it during the press launch there.

Sonic replaces the sub-compact Aero which, while a solid seller, never took off in the hearts and minds of North Amer-icans particularly those to the south.

GM-owned Deawoo in Korea has supplied a host of compact and sub-compacts like the Optra but the new Sonic will be built in Michigan.

Sonic will be available as both a sedan and hatch-back with a starting price of $14,495 for the base LS sedan and $15,495 for the LS hatchback.

Standard across the board are six air bags.

Also found on all Sonics is OnStar with Directions and Connections making this the only small car on the market with a standard navigation system.

Bluetooth, power door locks, remote keyless entry and Hill Hold As-sist also are standard. Air is a $1,150 option on the LS but standard on the LT and LTZ.

The mid trim Sonic LT sedan starts at $16,495 and the hatch starts at $17,495. Later in the year we see the turbocharged LTZ ar-rive with a starting price of $20,495 for the sedan and $20,995 for the hatch.

Optional on the LS and LT is the $465 Peace of Mind package that adds four extra airbags (knees and thorax) for a total of 10 airbags.

The LS and LT both are powered by a 1.8-litre inline, four-cylinder pro-ducing 138 hp and 123 lb/ft of torque. This engine features a two-stage vari-able intake manifold that delivers up to 90 per cent of peak torque from 2,400 rpm all the way up to 6,500 rpm. Standard transmis-sion is a fi ve-speed manu-al or an optional six-speed automatic.

The LTZ is a whole different kettle of fi sh with a 1.4-litre inline, four-cylinder with a turbochar-

ger embedded in the ex-haust manifold.

It produces 138 hp and 148 lb/ft of torque that comes in at 1,850 rpm. The only transmission is a six-speed manual.

Chevrolet is claim-ing the LTZ will deliv-er 5.1L/100 km highway fuel consumption with class-leading accelera-tion when paired with the 1.4L Turbo and six-speed manual transmission.

The 1.8-litre is listed at 7.7/5.6L/100 km city/highway for the manu-al and 8.3/5.5L/100 km city/highway for the automatic. The LTZ gets 7.3/5.1L/100 km city/highway with Chevrolet claiming this is the best highway mileage in the segment. The LTZ won’t get the six-speed auto-matic until next year.

All versions have MacPherson struts with coil springs and stabilizer bar at the front with a tor-sion beam compound link type rear suspension.

It is a pert design with a high beltline and low roofl ine that accentuates the adornment-free body sidelines.

The hatch has the black-coloured rear door handle grafted into the black C-pillar that com-bine to give the fi ve-door a sporty three-door look

heightened by the ex-posed, motorcycle-in-spired rear taillamps.

Design details that im-prove the look of the new Sonic include chrome grille surrounds and matte black honeycomb grille inserts on all models, while a range of wheel sizes, including 17-inch alloy wheels, reinforces its sporty fl are.

For those who want to individualize their Sonic, Chevrolet is happy to ob-lige with a wide range of add-ons such as a ground effects package, special wheels, body color spoil-er, front fog lamp kit and an array of body wraps. You can chose one of the standard designs or sup-ply your own graphics. 3M, which supplies the

body wraps, will do it up and apply it at the dealer-ship.

The instrument clus-ter is motorcycle inspired centering on a large digital speedometer display.

The interior includes storage compartments in the centre stack and doors. The rear seats fold fl at for carrying larger items.

Front bucket seats are standard and heated front seats are available. The front seats have a long travel but rear legroom is at a premium with the fronts all the way back.

I drove the LTZ hatch and sedan (both manual) and was a passenger in an LT automatic.

I don’t know why but the sedan felt bigger on the inside than the hatch

even though it is the other way around.

But the facts speak for themselves. Cargo vol-ume in the sedan is 397 litres (14 cu ft). The hatch has 539 litres (19 cu ft) be-hind the rear seats and a total of 869 litres (30.7 cu ft) with the seat folded.

The ride and handling were tuned by Corvette engineers, who dialed in electronic power steering, GM’s StabiliTrak stability control and rollover sens-ing control.

The result is a better than expecting experience and a world away from the previous generation Aveo.

On rambling roads and byways along the south shore from Montreal to Quebec City, the turbo went on boost almost im-

mediately and pulled a lot stronger than you’d expect from just 1.4-litres.

The six-speed manual felt more like two, three-speed transmissions with one for in-town power and the other for highway cruising.

I rode back to Mont-real from Quebec City in a 1.8-litre LT with auto-matic. Here it was heavy highway traffi c all the way with lots of road construc-tion (it’s Quebec after all).

While they have the same horsepower, the ex-tra torque of the LTZ is more substantial.

However, I think we’ll see a majority of Sonics being sold as the LT with automatic simply because many equate a turbo to higher fuel consumption.

MCANULTY, ANNA IMELDAAnna Imelda McAnulty

(née Glancey), Diploma of Art (Edinburgh); teacher

training (Craiglockart), Born 15 June 1922, Bathgate,

Scotland and Died 4 October 2011, Winfi eld, BC.

Predeceased by her beloved husband James McAnulty (August 2009); survived by her fi ve children, Catherine

Mori (Brian), Jerry McAnulty, Nicholas McAnulty (Tracy), Adrian McAnulty (Julie) and Greg McAnulty (Michele);

her 11 grandchildren, Michael, Greg, Tyler, Adrian, Sean, Chris, Lisa, Carmen,

Kyle, Nicole and William; her three great-granddaughters Meeghan, Akira and Isla. Born in Bathgate, near

Edinburgh, the youngest of 4 children, Imelda started Primary One (Scottish Grade One) at the age of 3 years, 3 months and thus graduated from high school at the age of

just 15. Her mother, a primary school teacher, had no childcare for her and just brought Imelda with her to work.

From an early age Imelda loved animals and longed to be a veterinarian. Her mother persuaded her to pursue her love

of art and become a teacher to assure herself a steady income. So, Imelda attended Edinburgh Art College, then

teachers’ college and began her career during the war years. As it happened, Imelda was an extremely gifted artist and excellent teacher: not only to her students but above

all to her 5 children. Though Imelda eventually gave up painting and drawing, till very recently she was a sharp art

critic. Her fondness for beauty and style and her love of animals and gardening were always her hallmark. Her life

started in Scotland and ended in the Okanagan, places quite disparate in culture and climate. After a long career at St Thomas Aquinas School in Edinburgh, Imelda emigrated

with her husband to Saskatoon with four children, including newly-born twin boys. As we trekked across the country to White Rock (where her last son was born), Toronto, Trail,

Kelowna and Oyama, our mother awakened us to the richness and variety we saw on our trips through the

landscape and culture of North America. Our beloved mother died peacefully at her nursing home after a short

illness. Requiescat in pace. The family would like to thank the staff of Lake Country Lodge for the loving care they took

of her over the past year and a half. They treated her like their own mother and made us all welcome when we visited. The funeral will be held at St Edward’s Church in Winfi eld on

Saturday, October 8 at 1.00 p.m. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.mem.com

Funeral arrangements are under the direction of FIRST MEMORIAL FUNERAL

SERVICES (762.2299).

The Central Zone of the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board reports that September saw sales improve on all property types in the Central Zone, improved both over the same month last year and for the previous month of August.

During September, overall sales improved

25.42% over last year (to 296 units from 236) and were up 3.4% from Au-gust (286), with sales vol-umes of $121 million compared to $94.7 mil-lion in 2010.

Total residential sales last month climbed 25.23% compared to Sep-tember 2010 (to 278 units from 222)—up 7.33%

over August (259).Single family home

sales rose 16% over last year (145 compared to 125)—up 9.84% from the 132 homes sold in Au-gust.

Inventory was up slightly (0.14%) over 2010 (to 4,986 units from 4,979), but new listings for the month were down

4.7% from last September (832 compared to 873).

“The market in the Okanagan-Shuswap is be-ginning to stabilize as au-tumn unfolds, especially in the Central Zone with the bump-up in sales dur-ing September and steady activity over the past few months,” said Kent Jor-genson, a Kelowna real-

tor. “Most segments con-

tinue to hold their own while the recreation and investment sectors remain sluggish, being most im-pacted by opportunities south of the border, and Canada’s slower than an-ticipated economic re-covery and modest job growth”

Overall, Jorgenson said demand in most B.C.housing markets has cooled along with lagging consumer confi dence.

“Belt-tightening and apprehension about mak-ing big purchases has con-tinued as ongoing con-cerns over personal debt load, net worth and em-ployment are being infl u-

enced by news of Ameri-can economic uncertainty, global instability and eq-uity market volatility.”

He said serious buy-

ers are looking for well-priced properties, rec-ognizing that now is the time to buy while there is still an ample selection of homes and room to ne-gotiate, and while low in-terest rates continue to positively impact their purchasing power and de-termine the home they can afford.

The Central Zone of OMREB covers an area from Peachland to Lake Country and east along Highway 33 to West-bridge (including the Christian Valley).

The Okanagan Main-line Real Estate Board is comprised of 1,122 mem-ber realtors and 91 real es-tate offi ces.

REAL ESTATE SALES

September saw some upswing in the housing market

If you are looking to purchase a lot to build a new home right away or for sometime down the road, there are different purchasing options avail-able to buyers.

For instance, it’s is a little known fact that a mortgage can be placed on land that doesn’t have a structure on it.

There are fi nancial in-stitutions that will allow you to purchase a lot/acre-age with as little as 25 per cent down.

For example, if you purchase a lot with a val-

ue of $200,000, the min-imum down payment will be $50,000, leaving a mortgage of $150,000 that can be amortized over up to 25 years.

Interest rates will vary, depending on the type and term of the mortgage, but generally the rate is high-er than a lot with an exist-ing home on it.

Terms can be for in-terest only payments or blended monthly pay-ments, depending on what your intentions are in the future.

It may be possible to purchase that prime lot and still own your home, as long as you qualify based on the fi nancial in-stitution’s credit granting guidelines.

In most cases, the lot/acreage must have ser-vices, such as power and sewer, or have them avail-able nearby.

If purchasing an acre-age, most fi nancial insti-tutions will base the value of it on fi ve acres but there are some that allow the value to be based on 10 acres. Again, in most cas-es the property must have services to the land.

In most instances, the property should be in an urban area within a close distance to a city having a population base of 25,000 or more. Exceptions to that may apply.

Some fees from the lending institution may

apply. HST will be paid on

the purchase value of the land.

If you own a home and have suffi cient equi-ty in it you may be able to borrow (against your ex-isting home) the 25 per cent down payment or full amount of the lot pur-chase.

For example, a home is valued at $400,000 and the outstanding mortgage is $200,000. If that ho-meowner wishes to pur-chase a lot with a val-ue of $200,000, requir-ing a down payment of $50,000, to satisfy the 25 per cent down payment required.

You down payment could be derived from the equity in the existing home.

Again, all land buy-ers should understand they have the availability to place a mortgage on the property they wish to buy.

THE LOCATION and viewpoints for homes at Cypress Point are big selling points to buyers.

heaters.All of our homes are

covered by the Traveler’s Guarantee Company of Canada’s 2-5-10 Warran-ty Insurance.

Q: Who are your key buyer groups and why have your buyers so far chosen Cypress Point?

O’Neil: Our homes appeal to those who want to spend less time on home maintenance and more time relaxing, play-ing, shopping or doing the things they love.

In addition to the qual-ity of our homes, buyers indicated that the peace-fulness, natural surround-ings and the proximity to shopping played a key role in the decision pro-cess of calling Cypress Point home.

Q: What are your most home popular plans at Cypress Point and why?

O’Neil: Most buyers choose from our six plans with master bedroom on the main fl oor, howev-er, the price points on our 2,474 sq/ft walk up plans at $448,800 are very ap-pealing.

Q: Tell us more about Cypress Point. How long have you been in busi-ness and why did you choose Cypress Point to call home?

O’Neil: Our multi-award winning Rohit Group of Companies has been in business for over 25 years. We chose the Cypress Point location for its views, proximity to amenities and peaceful natural setting.

Q: As local develop-

ers, how have you noticed the development indus-try change over the last few years? What have you done to respond to the changing market con-ditions?

O’Neil: The develop-ment industry has had to change drastically to sur-vive in today’s buyer’s market. Today’s buyers demand competitive pric-ing, high quality construc-tion and services if you want to retain their busi-ness.

In addition to these items we strive to stand out by offering features such as fully fi nished homes, granite, hard-wood, and central air as standard fi nishings, whereas many builders charge extra.

We also help buyers build their dream home

by offering fi nal touch-es such as HD movie the-atres, hot tubs, soft close drawers, heated ensuite fl ooring, gas patio heaters and more.

Q: Lastly, how can in-terested buyers view the homes at Cypress Point and/or access more infor-mation on the project?

O’Neil: Buyers can view HD videos, fl oor plans, see pictures and more online at www.HomesForSaleKelow-na.com.

Visitors to the Cy-press Point location can view fi ve show homes and learn more at our in-formation centre which is open from noon to 5 p.m., Tuesday to Sunday. We can also be reached by phone at 250-765-6533 or by email at [email protected].

Shauna NyroseCONTRIBUTOR

Question: Give us an overview of Cypress Point?

O’Neil: Cypress Point offers “lock and leave” duplexes in a peaceful golf course community with views of ponds, for-est, Okanagan Lake and the Black Mountain Golf

Course, all within a short drive to downtown and shopping.

Choose from eight distinct home plans rang-ing in size from 1,894 to 2,939 sq/ft with pric-ing starting at $448,800 for a fully fi nished 2,474 sq/ft home with granite, central air, stone gas fi re-place, engineered hard-wood, double car garage

and more. Q: What’s different

or unique about Cypress Point versus other compa-rable projects in the Oka-nagan?

O’Neil: It is the com-bination of the peace-ful, natural setting and the quality of homes.

The homes include many standard upgrades and have panoramic views that only our hilltop location can offer.

The short distance to shopping also separates us from other projects.

Q: Tell us a little more about the location and the key amenities in the Cy-press Point area.

O’Neil: Cypress Point is set atop a hill over-looking the Black Moun-tain Golf Course’s signa-ture island green, with the homes offering panoram-ic views of the ponds, Okanagan Lake, the near-by forest and out over the valley.

The new four-laned Highway 33 puts restau-rants, coffee shops, gro-cery stores, the YMCA,

library and more a short fi ve minute drive away.

Downtown is only a short 15 minutes away and skiing at Big White a short 35 minutes away.

Of course, golf-ing is available in your back yard with the Black Mountain Club a chip shot away and the new Black Mountain Lake ex-pected to increase the beauty of the area.

Q: What unique fea-tures are in the homes themselves, and why are these important to your

buyers? O’Neil: Visitors to

Cypress Point are wowed by the 10-foot ceilings, large outdoor living spac-es, the peacefulness of the location and professional-ly maintained community.

On the outside, our homes we have used earth elements like stone and timber with hard plank “fi bre cement siding” for long-lasting durability.

Standard interior fi n-ishing’s include gour-met kitchens with gran-ite countertops, pantries

and maple shaker cabine-try, engineered hardwood, hand set tile fl ooring, stone fi replaces, central air, high effi ciency furnac-es, double car garage and large energy effi cient dou-ble pane argon fi lled win-dows.

Buyers can also choose to add hot tub wir-ing, central vacuums, mini bars, movie theatre packages, soft close draw-ers, gas stoves and patio
