GREG WIGHTMAN pets one of the kangaroos on his Lake Country kangaroo farm that he operates with his wife, where kangaroos and wallabies are reared for adoption by other farms.
Everything I Wanted ALL In One Place get the deal you want only at...
igns of spring are showing up all around the Okanagan. Despite a thin skiff overnight, the wintery blanket of snow is receding from the valley bottom. Underneath, green shoots are breaking through the ground to soon brighten up the hills, while birds are chirping as they gather nourishing seeds. It’s basically business as usual for Mother Nature with, perhaps, one exception. At a nearby hobby farm some less than typical creatures are getting ready to go through their own seasonal rite of passage. Little joeys are nearing the time when they’ll roll out of the pouches they’ve known as home, stretch their wobbly limbs and breathe in the great outdoors for the first time. That’s right, joeys…as in kangaroos. See story A3 Over 80 Used Vehicles

CLOSE-UP
Kangaroos fully adjusted to Okanagan lifestyle from A1 Not exactly the wildlife one may associate with the Okanagan, or Canada in general, but just a 10-minute drive out of Kelowna, kangaroos have made a cozy home for the better part of two decades. “Most people don’t realize I have them, even though I’m in a mildly urban area of Winfield,” said Caroline MacPherson, the woman behind Kangaroo Creek Farm, where kangaroos and wallabies are reared for adoption to other farms. The acreage is just a Roo’s hop, skip and a jump away from two highrises, the region’s main highway and numerous businesses. In spite of all that, she’s kept it rural, mostly private and a touch exotic, allowing lemurs, kangaroos and a handful of other uncommon creatures to stay oblivious to their urban digs. This spring, however, the quiet they’ve enjoyed is bound to change when they open up their cosy outback oasis to visitors, as a petting zoo of sorts . “We’re not entirely sure how it’s going to work, but we’ll open in some way,” she said, noting the spring opening will be experimental, short-lived if it doesn’t go over well. MacPherson is tentative about her plans for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the prospect of opening her family’s schedule and home to strangers.
SOME OF THE adult and baby kangaroos currently residing in Lake Country at the Kangaroo Creek Farm, where both kangaroos and wallabies are reared for adoption.
Photos by Doug Farrow Another is the reaction a small percentage have already had to her kangaroos. “Even though I know 95 per cent of people will be delighted, there’s always that minor number who have a negative opinion based on erroneous information and you can’t change their mind,” she said.
Concerns she’s heard to date have to do with the fact that the kangaroos aren’t indigenous to Canada, they shouldn’t be in captivity and they could be carriers of some sort of disease. “They’ve not been snatched from the wild— they’re completely domesticated,” she said. In fact, the first kanga-
roos she got 20 years ago weren’t even Aussies. “A friend of mine decided to buy kangaroos from a farmer in New Zealand, where they’d been transplanted from Australia a long time ago,” she said, noting their lineage could be traced into the 1940s. Domesticated or not, they still had to jump
through some hoops before they made the continental leap. Based on Agriculture Canada regulations, a quarantine was in order, but MacPherson’s friend learned his land wasn’t suitable. With farmland on either side of his property, Ag Canada explained the creatures posed a risk.
MacPherson, however, had a decent amount of land hemmed in by urban space, making her home the ideal quarantine-zone for the transplanted Aussies. “He brought in 10 for the 30-day quarantine, and he never came back,” she said, noting she became a kangaroo lady through “one of those
weird circumstances.” “They didn’t belong to me, so I couldn’t sell them or do anything with them.” She continued along in a kangaroo holding pattern for two and a half years, until the friend sold her the original See Kangaroos A6

CLOSE-UP ▼ G’DAY ROO
Public will be able to visit kangaroo farm Kangaroos from A3 10—throwing in the 18 extra they had spawned in the intervening years. From that moment forward, things changed. MacPherson started to sell the marsupials to others interested in hobby farming, took on a few other creatures— ask about a lemur named Rupert when spring rolls around—and even managed to squeeze in a few kanga-related adventures. Kangaroos and wallabies, it turned out, are a draw for people all over the globe, and those with the means will go to great lengths to make one their own. A German man, for example, once wanted a kangaroo so badly that it led him to synthesize an over the top habitat for the animal, just so MacPher-
son—who admittedly has high standards for her roos–would approve a sale. Shipping the creature overseas, however, posed a problem. “There were too many transfers,” she explained, noting it would mean the baby roo would miss a meal. Instead of having that happen, the German paid for MacPherson to hand deliver the Joey. “It was all fine until I had to go through security,” she said. Until then, the Joey was hidden in a bag. Once the bag had to be scanned the kangaroo was revealed to everyone in the airport, and MacPherson was swamped with attention. “I don’t really like that kind of thing,” she said, noting once the fan-
‘‘
I’VE BEEN TOLD BY ELDERLY PEOPLE…I NEVER EXPECTED TO SEE A KANGAROO, LET ALONE TOUCH ONE AT THIS STAGE OF LIFE. Caroline MacPherson
fare died down, and the trip was completed it all turned out well. It turned her on to an understanding of the draw of kangaroos that she and her husband Greg Wightman— known as the Roo Man—encourage people to pursue in a more controlled environment than that day in the airport. “We’ve spent the last
20 years taking the baby roos to retirement homes, pediatric wards and various schools where they have been greatly enjoyed,” she said. “These visits have been made in the spirit of community and have been done for free. “It provides people with stimulation they wouldn’t ordinarily get… It basically makes them happy to see something they haven’t seen before. “I’ve been told by elderly people…I never expected to see a kangaroo, let alone touch one at this stage of life.” A nine month old joey currently at the farm has already been to several retirement homes for visits, and likes nothing more than being held in someone’s warm embrace. And it’s not just the joey and the person hold-
ing it, who enjoys all that’s happening. MacPherson and Wightman may have seen their fair share of kangaroos, but there’s something to be said for seeing someone else get a bird’s eye view. “I get a real kick out of people’s delight,” said MacPherson. When spring rolls around, be sure to check out kangaroocreekfarm. com to find out if the site is open. “We are thinking that we will keep things very casual. The plan is to put a gate at the top of the drive. If the gate is closed, we’re closed. If it’s open, we’re open,” she said. Phone first to avoid disappointment. No admission fee will be collected but donations will be gratefully accepted. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

NEWS ▼ TELUS WALK TO CURE DIABETES
Youth urges support for walk Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
A room full of businessmen and women were all ears on Thursday afternoon as 13-yearold Nicholas Wall shared his story of life with type 1 diabetes. Wall, along with other speakers, were on hand to share information and testimonies while attempting to gain support for the 2012 Telus Walk to Cure Diabetes, which will take place at Mission Park Greenway in Kelowna on June 10. Corporate partners who have supported the walk through the years learned about how their efforts have positively impacted the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). Wall started his story by explaining that he was two-years-old when he was first diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. “I don’t remember much about that day, but I had to spend a week in the hospital so that they could figure out my insulin doses and teach my parents how to look after me,” said Wall. “I had to have my blood sugar tested about 10 times a day by poking my fingers with a lancet. I didn’t mind that much, but I really didn’t like getting the needles, which I got three times a day for my insulin. “I used to try and run away and hide before I understood I had to have them—it was a lot of work for my mom.” Wall explained that he had to eat breakfast and lunch at very specific times to help keep his glucose levels under control. “If I wanted a special treat or extra snack, I had to have another needle,” he said. Wall noted that life with type 1 diabetes got even more challenging when he entered school. “When I started school, my mom had to come in every day at lunch to give me my insulin and check my blood sugar. The teachers sometimes called her to come to the school if my blood sugar was too low or too high.” He summed up some of the challenges that are associated with having type 1 diabetes. “Having diabetes means always watching what you eat, testing your blood sugar eight to

NICHOLAS WALL, 13, tells his story of life with type 1 diabetes during a Telus Walk to Cure Diabetes luncheon on Thursday. The 2012 Telus walk will take place June 10 in Kelowna. 10 times a day, having to worry about blood sugar when you’re doing sports, worrying about blood sugar at night or if you’re sick, (going to) doctors appointments, (getting) blood tests and making sure you have snacks and diabetes supplies with you wherever you go.” Wall mentioned that these types of challenges
will likely follow him into adulthood; however, he is optimistic that JDRF is on the road to finding a cure. “If there was a cure, it’d be nice not to have to think about (diabetes) all the time. Our family supports JDRF because they fund scientific research that is getting us closer to a cure. “Before we get there,
JDRF (is also) doing research to find ways to help me live a healthier life: Better insulin, insulin pumps, better care for complications I may have with my health and better ways to test how well I’m controlling my blood sugar.” See Walk A8

2012 Telus Walk to Cure Diabetes. “JDRF is steps away from the cure. This year at the walk, let’s help them take those steps,” said Wall. The fundraising goal for this year’s walk is $130,000.

Okanagan cherries are one step closer to being on the shelves of luxury food markets in Chinese cities like Beijing and Shanghai, following the signing of a trade agreement in China Thursday between representatives of the Canadian and Chinese governments. With the trade deal, China committed to work on access for a number of specific Canadian foods, including B.C. cherries. In 2010, this province pro-
duced 94 per cent of Canada’s sweet cherries, with most coming from the Okanagan. “We are very pleased to see this progress on access to China for B.C. cherries,” said Christine Dendy, a local grower and head of the Okanagan Kootenay Cherry Growers’ Association. “A final agreement has the potential to immediately garner $10 million or more in cherry sales to China.” The province is focusing on building export markets for B.C. food as
part of its B.C. Jobs Plan, saying international consumers are looking to B.C. for high quality and trusted foods. Prime Minister Stephen Harper is currently on a state visit to China and Thursday’s agreement signing was part of that visit. It follows on the heels of B.C. Premier Christy Clark’s trade mission to Asia in November, when she discussed opportunities for B.C. food producers to sell their produce in China. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

There’s more to learning to draw than meets the eye H
alf the fun of going to an art gallery is listening to the people around you talk about what they’re seeing. Everyone has their own unique take on art, just as people always tell a story in their own distinct way. It’s one of the first things you learn as a reporter or writer. The old cliché about two sides to every story is true, but one often finds there’s actually a story for every person involved, and those on the periphery as well. And once it’s published, the readers have their take as well. So when I learned a new word at art class this week—“chiaroscuro”—it wasn’t exactly unexpected that everyone steeped the concept differently. Chiaroscuro is an Italian word meaning light to dark or extreme light, or coming out of the dark— again, depending on your viewpoint. It’s a pretty apt descriptor of the value exercises we were doing, looking at how the lights on the ceiling changed the shaped areas on our pages as we tried to draw more sketches of our hands and an array of styrofoam shapes. For our first exercise, we used willow charcoal to colour a page entirely
DRAW THE LINE
Jennifer Smith black, then stripped away the colour with these strange malleable erasers that fold and tear and roll into balls as they selfclean. As someone who seems to draw 50 per cent with the eraser anyway, this was naturally A-OK with me. Frankly, I found not having to get the shapes right the first time with a thin little pencil pretty freeing, though it didn’t seem many shared this viewpoint. We then tried a little of the reverse. Using white charcoal, or white conté, on black paper, we began drawing our hands by focusing on the light aspects, leaving the shadows untouched so the naked dark paper shone through. Again, I would have to say things were becoming clearer for me. Mashing my white muck onto the page, layer on layer, I was pretty impressed with how relax-
ART TEACHER Rena Warren instructs her class at a Kelowna Art Gallery drawing course. ing it was and how much easier drawing is when you just throw something down and then start to shape it. My art teacher, Rena Warren, calls this the “push and pull” and this is kind of how we write. In journalism school, they would often tell us, if you don’t know something, skip it, keep going and find that fact or word at the end. The point was always to get it out fast and worry about fine tuning the details later. When you write three stories a day, possibly talking to a dozen or more
people, this is really the only way to get everything done. One can’t get mired in the fine print, even if it does lead to mortifying consequences from time to time. And that’s when it hit me: What if this weirdo job is starting to warp my brain? There’s a word for this. It’s: “OMG.” And yes, texting has skewed our vocabulary. Looking back on how I used to draw in grade school, I can remember I was always very detail oriented, spending hours on small portions of the page. A big part of our adult life is about finding ways to multi-task, though, and get more into the day than really ought to be possible. In fact, I think learning to cut corners is really a way of life for most of us. It’s like buying the ugly wrinkle free pants. You compromise on appealing looks for making it to work on time, on dress code, and, frankly, in a manner which might save you from useless small talk. No one talks to the girl in the ugly pants, right? Yet, to think that one’s lifestyle choices could somehow influence something so basic as drawing a box on a page was really quite astounding.

B.C. finally joins in on the LNG gold rush
T
he first thing to understand about the race to liquefied natural gas exports is how far back in the pack B.C. is starting. Canada has issued its first two export licenses for LNG export projects near Kitimat, to sell the product of the vast Horn River and Montney shale gas deposits in northeastern B.C. One LNG plant has started construction, the second is approved to proceed and a third is also proposed for the same region. Unlike the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline proposal, plants and associated pipelines have actually received all the necessary permits from our constipated federal-provincial environmental process. Australia has approved six LNG
projects in the last two years, with a combined construction cost of $180 billion. Reuters reports that their $34 billion Ichthys project will vault Australia past the Tom Middle Eastern kingFletcher dom of Qatar into first place among global LNG exporters, assuming it is built by 2017. Top producing countries are Qatar, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria and Algeria. The second thing B.C. taxpayers need to know is that there is no other practical choice here. Huge shale gas developments around North America have meant B.C.’s days of making a tidy sum selling gas to the U.S. are coming to an end. Natural gas replaced forest products some years ago as B.C.’s top commodity revenue stream,
VICTORIA VIEWS
helping to keep the lights on in B.C. schools and hospitals. But the domestic price is down for the long term and the U.S. has plenty of its own gas now. The third thing to know is that there is misinformation about shale gas and “fracking.” Shaky videos show someone touching a match to water that has had gas bubbled through it, to artificially promote the idea that hydraulic fracturing of shale deposits contaminates groundwater. This, and some scientifically illiterate media reports, are all it takes to get a protest movement going these days. The fact that a kilometre or more of solid rock separates B.C. shale deposits from surface water sources is seldom mentioned. The major public health risk from B.C.’s natural gas boom is the escape of sour gas, which contains poisonous, heavier-than-air hydrogen sulfide. That’s been a problem for B.C.’s con-
ventional gas industry for decades. There are legitimate concerns about water use and chemical discharge from shale fracturing, and the B.C. government has scrambled to upgrade its regulations on that as well as sour gas. Premier Christy Clark has run to the front of the LNG parade, trying to convey the notion that multi-billion-dollar investments made years ago by Chinese, Japanese, U.S. and Korean corporations are somehow the result of her “jobs plan.” NDP energy critic John Horgan insists that the B.C. Utilities Commission oversee all this, so the B.C. Liberals don’t subsidize these giant transnational energy companies with cheap electricity and stick BC Hydro ratepayers with the bill.

LETTERS
Evolution without question is dogma To the editor: The online version of the Feb. 4 article was titled Hundreds Gather To Hear Creationism, Evolution Debate, while the article appearing in the Feb. 7 Capital News paper was titled Creationism vs Evolution: Science Challenged as UBCO Debate Draws a Crowd. Ever notice when the origins issue is covered in the press, it’s typically framed as creationism vs evolution or creationism vs science? Rarely is it creation vs evolution, and never creation vs evolutionism. Why is this? Phillip Johnson (Dar-
win on Trial) says naturalists—whether atheists, agnostics or theists—define words like “evolution” and “science” in such a way that naturalism is true by definition. Johnson said in World magazine: “Evolutionary science is based on naturalism and draws philosophical conclusions to that base. That’s why any theistic evolution is inherently superficial. It leads people into naturalistic thinking, and they don’t realize it.” (Nov. 22, 1997, p.13) UBCO-TV recorded the Ryder-Mackay debate (above noted Capital News story), which will
be available for viewing at (http://ubco.tv/) by Feb. 12—a.k.a. Darwin Day. In 1993 Stanford University biologist Robert Stephens came up with the idea for Darwin Day and co-founded the Darwin Day Program with Amanda Chesworth. This year Feb. 12 is also being called Academic Freedom Day/Question Evolution Day. See www. academicfreedomday. com. There should be school district polls of students studying evolution, asking two questions: In this class: a) Is evolution taught as fact, the-
ory, or both fact and theory? b) Do you have the academic freedom to critique evolution? (Students should answer anonymously.) The same questions should be asked of their teachers. Recognizing that evolution is the only approved origins theory that can be taught in the B.C. science curriculum, students and teachers should discuss the scientific information that supports, and questions, evolution in order to promote the development of critical thinking skills. For example, how does geology explain dinosaur bones with soft tis-
sue, supposedly dated at 80 million years? (Schweitzer et al., Science 324:626-631). The way evolution is typically taught assumes a progressive increase of genetic information as molecule becomes man. Students could list actual evidences reported in the scientific literature that support either progressive acquisition or progressive loss of genetic information. Never discussing scientific information that questions evolution is to teach evolution as dogma. David Buckna, Kelowna

One way to solve Westside gas price gouging To the editor: I read the Feb. 7 Capital News issue and the letter about West Kelowna gas prices.
That problem can be solved very easily. All one has to do is drive over the bridge for gas. I would imagine the
price would come down if nobody bought any gas over here. It seems that this is the way to cure the appetite
of our local gas bandits as most of the automobiles do well on gas mileage, and Kelowna is only a few kilometres away.

B.C. must power up for LNG Fletcher from A10 According to Horgan, the BCUC should also have lawyered away over the smart meter program for God knows how long, as analog meters become obsolete and Quebec and others modernize their electricity grids without hand-wringing or exploitation of imaginary health
threats. This is not a good time to dither. An LNG terminal is proposed for Portland, Oregon and there will be others. LNG plants need lots of electricity, and the B.C. Liberal government wants to market B.C. LNG as the “cleanest” in the world because it’s processed with minimal
burning of gas for power generation. Will foreign buyers care about B.C.’s LNG production methods? Are B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets history? More on that in a future column. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com.

NEWS ▼ ROTARY CLUB FOUNDATION
Rotarians reach out to young people The Kelowna Rotary Club Foundation is playing a major role in helping young and older citizens meet the challenges of life today and tomorrow. One current example is the Canstruction project taking place this week at Orchard Park Shopping Centre, a unique event designed to help end hunger “one can” at a time. This competition involving using canned food as building blocks brings together multi-disciplinary teams of designers, architects and builders to create extraordinary structures. After the contest awards are presented and the public has a chance
to view the Canstruction creations, each entry is de-canstructed and the canned food donated to the Kelowna Community Food Bank and the Salvation Army. This year’s goal is to raise 30,000 cans of food, besting last year’s total of 22,000. There are a number of other initiatives where the foundation, working with other community agencies, is making a positive difference in the community.
THE SALVATION ARMY’S BREAKOUT PROGRAM
The Kelowna Salvation Army started a new initiative in January in
partnership with A.S. Matheson Elementary School and the Kelowna Rotary Club Foundation. Breakout is a new after-school program that will focus on prevention and helping children in Grades 4 to 6 make good choices. The program will offer tutoring, help with home-work assignments, opportunities to develop meaningful social connections with peers and supportive adults, activities (including sports, arts, crafts, music, drama) and a healthy supper meal served family style with a mentor facilitating conversations. The program is held

at the Salvation Army’s Sutherland Avenue facility where this group of students will meet two afternoons each week. The program is free to parents and the children will receive tutoring and assistance with homework. A.S. Matheson Elementary School principal Scott Seiben is supportive of this initiative, believing it’s much needed in the area. Community research and dialogue with the Kelowna RCMP has indicated that the A.S. Matheson catchment area has numerous children at risk of becoming involved in unlawful activities. A high percentage of domestic violence calls to authorities comes from this area. The Salvation Army wanted to create a computer lab at the Sutherland facility to be used by the students. With so much work being done on computers, it is essential that the students have access to computers for their homework and skill development. The Rotary Foundation purchased 10 Hewlett Packard laptop computers from Best Buy and donated these to the Salvation Army for this initiative.
GATEWAY PROGRAM
School District 23’s Central School meets the needs of challenged students on a daily basis. For a variety of reasons certain students struggle to graduate. Some have mental health issues, drug issues, probation issues with the law. Some come from broken homes, and indeed some are on the street. Central School principal Al Lalonde, vice-principal Randy Horne and teacher Jordan Kleckner, in conjunction with Oka-
nagan College Trades staff, have put together a program that takes place at the college. Central School students attend the Okanagan College facility even though they have not graduated from Central School. The Gateway Program offers these students a 10-week course that exposes them to a sampling of the various trades offered at Okanagan College. The students complete projects in these areas while working with older students and adults in a positive work experience environment. Their attitude toward their future is transformational as they come to realize that they can be successful at something; they begin to envision a more positive future for themselves if they only change their attitudes, their destructive behaviours and their work ethic. The results were very positive. At the end of the program, 15 of 16 students graduated and most chose to pursue an apprenticeship program at the college on a dual credit program. Still, many financial roadblocks remain such as tuition, course fees and books. The B.C. Ministry of Children and Family Development helps out with the tuition fees, the school district contributes to the course fees. The Kelowna Rotary Club Foundation has contributed $7,000 to be used to purchase the needed textbooks and workbooks for these students to pursue new careers.
STRIVE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
Traditionally, scholarships are given to the top scholastic students. The Kelowna Rotary Club
DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR
GRADE 7 STUDENTS from Dorothea Walker
Elementary School in Kelowna work on their planned eight-foot high baby bottle created with donated baby food cans at the Canstruction fundraiser for local food banks taking place this week at Orchard Park Shopping Centre. Strive Scholarship Program aims at the other end of the achievement spectrum. The targeted students are those struggling in “life,” perhaps because of a poor home life, a negative peer group, or a lack of motivation toward learning. They are almost to the point of thinking, “What’s the use?” Their past poor school performance has been a result of that struggle. If their life situation does not change, the result is often unemployment, under-employment or, on occasion, conflict with the law. In all cases, the long term cost to society is considerable. This scholarship addresses that need. The scholarship winners in one way or another have overcome incredible challenges. If the applicant can graduate in the current year with a minimum 60 per cent course average in their Grade 12 year; has qualified for entrance to an accredited
post-secondary institution for a minimum 20 week program; and has demonstrated a positive behavioral change through improved attendance, work habits, attitude towards learning resulting in improved grades over their Grade 11 and 12 years; then they will qualify for a $750 scholarship towards their future education. Several scholarships will be provided to a number of successful students, funded by local Rotary Clubs and other corporate and philanthropic supporters. The scholarship will be paid directly to an accredited post-secondary institution, in the name of the student, and is applied to the entrance fee for a minimum 20-week post secondary training or educational program. Without this incentive to improve their lives, many student face a future of unemployment, underemployment or an escalation of anti-societal behaviour.

Where there’s smoke there’s not fire, says city
On Sunday, Feb. 12 from 7 a.m. to noon, smoke testing will be done downtown to determine connections for sanitary and storm lines under Bernard Avenue between Abbott and Richter Streets. Acording to the city, this safe, non-toxic, odourless smoke will be fanned into pipes and travel through the mains and other connections. The smoke will give visual information about building connections to help locate and prepare for the utility replacement as part of the upcoming Bernard Avenue revitalization project. Smoke will emerge from street drains and outside vents of buildings, specifically along the roofline, but should not be present inside buildings. Motorists may experience minor delays and are asked to be aware of contractors controlling traffic during the lane restrictions. The Bernard Avenue revitalization project will begin in September and be carried out in phases over the next two years. For inquiries related to traces of smoke or odour entering buildings, please call 250-212-9177. For more information or to subscribe to e-Updates visit kelowna.ca/ cityprojects.

Okanagan Festival Singers ready to celebrate 25 years of choral music

The Okanagan Festival Singers, under musical director and founder, Leroy Wiens, has been an integral part of the Kelowna cultural landscape for 25 years. Founded in 1986, the choir has been a professional and dynamic addition to Kelowna’s music scene. The organization has enriched its audiences with performances of music ranging from the great classical works, to popular songs of our day. To mark its 25th year in existence, the festival singers will perform at a gala concert planned for Saturday, Feb. 18, 7:30 p.m., at the First Lutheran Church in Kelowna. It has employed talented orchestral musicians and introduced acclaimed soloists, both Canadian

and international in status, to the Okanagan Valley. A constant to Okanagan audiences has been the OFS’ performances of Handel’s Messiah. The choir has distinguished itself in presenting a Baroque-style performance that many have said equals anything staged in Canada’s largest cities. The first Sing Along Messiah was attempted this past December with two visiting choirs, seven young soloists, and a full house of enthusiastic patrons. The OFS has produced three professional CDs and has toured to perform in other B.C. and Alberta cities. The upcoming 25th anniversary concert will include the festival orchestra with concertmaster Nancy DiNovo returning to work with Wiens and the choir. DiNovo is an early music specialist and her
expertise is an integral part of the Baroque-style orchestra Wiens conducts. Joining the choir is acclaimed soprano, Nancy Washeim, who has a master of music degree from McGill University with specialization in early music vocal performance. Her national and international career has featured solo performances with a wide range of musical organizations. Other soloists will be Lori Ontonio, Kathryn Lockhart and Darren Roesler. Three celebratory works from Handel and Haydn will be performed. Handel’s Dixit Dominus, a psalm set to “music of exceptional brilliance,” is regarded as one of Handel’s finest works. It is a showpiece for both singers and players alike, with tremendous energy and use of theatrical gesture—not unlike opera itself.
Zadok the Priest from the Coronation Anthems, has been used historically at Coronations, and recently at the Royal wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton. Haydn’s well-known, Lord Nelson Mass, is sometimes called the mass for troubled times. It opens in the key of D minor and suggests a mood of foreboding, but the composition shifts to conclude in the major key. Haydn is a masterful composer allowing chorus, soloists and orchestra to all play a prominent role. Following the concert, the audience will be invited to a reception where they can mingle with the singers and musicians, and browse through the many displays in the church foyer highlighting the choir’s 25 year history.

Amber Krogel The other day, my brother and I stumbled upon what seemed like a mock version of Canada’s wildlife preserves. Within a few blocks downtown, we saw deer, swans, and a frighteningly large crowd of ducks. While swans may not be a regular occurrence in your day-to-day life, beauty can come in the simplest forms. It may be the architecture of the school you enter every day or the way the frost makes your front lawn look. So why is it that we are so often oblivious to the immense beauty around us? Ironically, it seems like the more we learn about the world, the less we care for it.

s I write this column, the view out my window is showcasing a fog that clings to the trees and makes it difficult to see past the other side of the street. One night this past week, I was driving through the same fog as it captured the light and gave everything a hazy, orange glow. While I had to continually remind myself that I was operating a vehicle and did not have the liberty of gazing off into space and daydreaming, I was overwhelmed by the beauty around me. It almost felt like I had been transported back to childhood, experiencing some aspect of the world for the first time. But this childlike sense of wonder is something that seems to have already subsided for the most part by the time we become teenagers. At 17-years-old, I still have an awful lot of life left to live (hopefully), and to already be numb to the beauty of the world makes for a bland existence.

Good start to season for Mlikotic Kelowna golfer John Mlikotic kicked off the golf season on the right foot on the weekend. The Simon Fraser University freshman fired a couple of great rounds at the California State University-San Marcos Invitational. Mlikotic was sitting in a tie for fourth place in the individual standings after shooting a 72 and then a 73 in the first two of three rounds at CSU. But the Immaculata graduate fell off the pace with an 82 in the third and final round to finish in a tie for 10th place. Still it was a breakout

SFU’s men’s golf team finished fifth in a field of 12 teams at the event that wrapped up on Tuesday.
Mlikotic’s 11 over par score for three rounds was the best total of the five SFU golfers who took part. The SFU men’s golf team will be back in action on March 5 when
they begin the Point Loma Nazarene Invitational at the Steele Canyon Golf Club. SFU golfers compete in the NCAA Div. II golf league. Mlikotic’s results are

The Kelowna Chiefs continue the stretch drive towards the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League playoffs this weekend with a couple of road games. The Chiefs play in Osoyoos tonight before traveling to Kamloops on Saturday as part of three straight games on the road. Kelowna will also play in Princeton next Tuesday before returning to Rutland Arena on Feb. 17. Kelowna enters the weekend in a tight race for position in the KIJHL’s

A win in Osoyoos tonight will get the Chiefs to within five points of first place as Osoyoos holds down top spot in the division with a 28-17-1-2 record.

Rockets want winning streak back in games against Blazers The Kelowna Rockets head into a two game weekend against Kamloops looking to rebound from a less than stellar effort on Wednesday night. The Rockets and Blazers kick off a home and home set in Kamloops tonight before returning to Kelowna on Saturday for a 7 p.m. start at Prospera Place. On Wednesday, Kelowna suffered a 2-0 loss to Seattle, snapping a three game winning streak in a game they were expected to win.
The Thunderbirds came into the game 16 points behind Kelowna in the WHL Western Conference but got shutout goaltending from Calvin Pickard and two power play goals in the third period to earn the win. Rockets head coach Ryan Huska said it was a step backwards for his team after it had been moving in the right direction with its recent play. “We have to make sure guys are buying in to the way we want them to play,� said Huska after the
game. “That’s the challenge that we have with our group. We seem like we are taking steps in the right direction and then it seems like we take one step back again. �We have to get them to understand that the only success that we are going to have is when we play as a group.� In Kamloops, the Rockets will face the WHL Western Conference’s top team in the Blazers, who sport a 38-12-1-3 record. The last time the Rockets
met the Blazers was one of the team’s best performances of the season in 3-2 win on Jan. 25 at Prospera. The Rockets head into the game with a 24-24-24 record. They sit solidly in sixth place in the Western Conference, trailing the fifth place Vancouver Giants by 11 points and ahead of fourth place Seattle by 14.

The UBCO Heat men’s volleyball team knows exactly what it needs to do this weekend in order to make the playoffs in its first year of competition in the CIS. If the Heat can sweep the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack in two games this weekend in Kelowna, the Heat will qualify for the playoffs. Coach Greg Poitras is urging fans to come out and support the Heat in their push for a playoff spot. “Come and help us make history,” said Poitras. “I don’t think any team from a volleyball standpoint has made play-
offs in their first year in CIS. We’re going to need 1,400 people in ‘The Furnace’ here to help us beat the WolfPack.” It will be an emotional weekend for three players on the Heat as outgoing seniors Preston Tucker (setter, Vernon), Mark Broome (middle, Kelowna), and Spencer Browne (libero, West Kelowna) will be honoured on Saturday night. “It’s nice playing four years in college and thinking you can compete with CIS guys,” said Broome. “Now we’re competing with them, and hopefully make the playoffs. And if we do, great, and if not, it’s

For extra motivation their opponent will not be taking these games lightly. The 8-10 Thompson Rivers WolfPack can qualify for the post season with a pair of wins in Kelowna. The action will start Friday night at 6 p.m. at the Gym on UBC’s Okanagan campus. Saturday is seniors night and the
Heat have a fourth year graduating player, Kaylan Gouldsborough, that they will honour with a ceremony. Saturday night’s action will also begin at 6 p.m. in Kelowna at UBC’s Okanagan campus. “For us, we’re really going to focus on some of the things we need to focus on our side of the net. We just want to be able to execute,” said UBC Okanagan coach Steve Manuel. “We’re working on developing as a team, continuing to improve… we’ve played some great matches all year, and we just want to play some very strong matches this weekend.”

Warriors aim for playoffs Koffski on home ice for B.C. seniors

sets up Connor Dempsey for the Warriors second goal of the night in a 7-2 win over Salmon Arm on Wednesday. riors donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much room for error. Compounding its must-win scenario is a looming Saturday night game in Penticton against a nearly unbeatable Vees club who has won 30 games in a row, a new BCHL record. Ferster says all cliches apply. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll quote every cliche, one shift at a time, one game at a time but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really how it is,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a young team and our guys really play hard most nights and we get some chances. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just going to
The Rob Koffski rink will be in familiar territory for the 2012 B.C. senior menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curling championship in Kelowna. Koffskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local foursome will be one of eight rinks vying for the provincial title Feb. 15 to 19 at the Kelowna Curling Club. Koffskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team includes third Dan Worley, second Terry Bauer and lead Larry Kozachenko. A team assembled just this year to play at the senior level, the skip is pleased with the results
to date. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re old friends and decided to give it a try together as a team this year,â&#x20AC;? said Koffski, who has been to three Briers in the past, two with Pat Ryan and one with Rick Folk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got off to a pretty good start, winning the qualifier in Oliver. Hopefully we can keep it going next week.â&#x20AC;? The other competing teams are: Brian Gessner and Doug Meger from Royal City, Dennis Graber of Prince George, Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ken Wat-
son, Sparwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ken McHargue and Ralph Will, and Wayne Harris of Comox. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really expect this to be a good playdowns,â&#x20AC;? added Koffski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been to several of these and, on paper, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say this is probably as good a field as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say there are as many as five teams that could actually win this.â&#x20AC;? And on the prospects of home-ice advantage for the Kelowna rink: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be great to sleep in our own beds, and people might think be-
keep doing that and worry about ourselves for the last few games.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ The Vees established a new BCHL record for consecutive wins when they earned their 30th straight in a 7-0 road win over the Chilliwack Chiefs Tuesday night. Penticton also plays tonight hosting the Salmon Arm SilverBacks. They can now set their sights on matching the 89-90 Royals mark of 38 games undefeated. The Vees sit at 42-3-0-2 so far this season.
cause itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our club, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a bit of an edge,â&#x20AC;? Koffski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That might last for one game, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to take rinks of this calibre too long to get the hang of the ice. I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be much of an advantage for us.â&#x20AC;? The opening draw goes Wednesday, Feb. 15 at 1:30 p.m. Playoffs begin Saturday, Feb. 18, with the championship final set for 2 p.m. Sunday at KCC.

The Westside Warriors head to Chilliwack tonight with a chance to close the gap on one of the teams they are chasing for the final playoff spot in the BCHL Interior Conference. The Warriors trail Chilliwack and Vernon by eight points for the final playoff spot with just 11 games remaining in their regular season after closing the gap with a convincing 7-2 win over Salmon Arm on Wednesday at Royal LePage Place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every game just gets bigger and bigger for us,â&#x20AC;? said Warriors head coach Rylan Ferster after Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in must win territory and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how we have to approach the game.

Learn about Ghana
The not-so-handy handyman needs assistance I
Local residents will have an opportunity to learn first-hand about the donation of thousands of bicycles to poor villagers in the African country of Ghana from Kelowna. On Saturday, Feb. 18, local travel writer Jim Couper will talk and display pictures from his trip to Ghana to study the use of nearly 3,000 bikes that have been sent from Kelowna. Keith Germaine, representing the Bicycles for Humanity group that organized the local bicycle donation campaign, will also answer questions about how the bikes are shipped and paid for and how the organization, which got its start in Kelowna seven years ago, has spread to Australia, Netherlands and United States. The forum takes place at the St. Charles Garnier Parish, 3645 Benvoulin Rd., at 6:30 p.m.
BENEFIT CONCERT
An upcoming concert on Feb. 17 will benefit the Central Okanagan Heritage Society for work at the Benvoulin church site. Roxanna Sabir and Craig McGregor will be in Kelowna for the evening of Celtic fiddle and guitar music. The concert will take place at the Benvoulin Heritage Church in Kelowna at 7 p.m,. Tickets are available at the Chai Baba Teahouse, 104-1289 Ellis St., or by calling the COHS office at 250-861-7188.
HELP FOR JORDAN
Friends of Jordan Unrau, a 14-year-old Kelowna boy with cancer, have made shirts with the words Team Jordan on them and are selling the shirts for $20 each to raise money to help with the cost of chemotherapy treatments for Jordan. The shirts will be available at a benefit concert planned for Unrau, who has a malignant form of bone cancer in his right leg. The concert will go tonight at 7 p.m. at The Bridge Church on Gordon Drive. It will feature the music of The Ord Strauss Blues Revue, Windfall Prophet and Andrew and Zac Smith.
would like to meet the person who first theorized if you want to discover whether you are good at something— try it. Dumb idea. Actually, it may not be wise for me to find the foolish philosopher since one of two things would occur. He would get hurt or I would (painfully) discover that revenge is another thing I am not good at Either way, during the past month I’ve rediscovered three things I definitely do not have a propensity for—carpentry, painting and electrical work. My failings in such practical manly arts may be directly blamed on two factors from my youth. I had absolutely no interest in learning them and when people tried to teach me, I foolishly never paid attention. For some reason, the idea of tinkering around with saws, hammers and other nasty pointy, sharp tools of construction or destruction never caught my fancy. I sensed that every table saw, power drill or compressor device was simply waiting for me to come along so it could send me to the hospital. There was never any draw for me to learn how to forge steel, bend metal, fix a lawnmower, or build a car. During high school, I was far more interested in figuring out how girls ticked rather than clocks. My idea of experimenting had nothing to do with beakers, test tubes or circuit boards.
HODGE PODGE
Charlie Hodge I was more interested in tuning a guitar than a car engine, or skating full speed around a hockey rink than roaring around a racetrack. I failed to find a thrill in building go-carts, motorcycles and stereos— or blowing up the neighbour’s garbage cans with homemade explosives. It is not that I lacked nerve or was low in juvenile testosterone. My chaotic nature simply had other outlets. I liked to hike in the hills for days by myself, catch rattlesnakes, body surf down rivers or flirt with girls who were dating guys three times my size. Ironically, I wound up taking shop in Grade 10 through a process of elimination. After my bad attitude (and phobia) towards mathematics resulted in being kicked out of all three math classes available to me, my guidance counsellor had no choice but to fill that time by sending me to shop class. Facing total expulsion from school (if I got the boot from shop classes), I compromised. I skipped out of just as many classes as I could get away with while putting my full attention to the high school parking lot. I learned a lot about life but zilch about how to build a spice rack, engine,
or kitchen sink. There was also a fear factor involved. As a toddler, I learned my body had a weird electrical component. I would literally get a shock by going near or touching anything electrical. Not only could I make a TV spark from five feet away, but also clocks would stop and stereos go static when I went near them. Even today, I occasionally screw up computers, coffee makers, fax machines and microwaves. Some folks find it amusing, but I am not among them. I prefer to blame my disinterest in tools and the trades on genetics. I come from a long line of nerds. My brother was an electronic genius. If it hummed, buzzed or whirled Vic could fix it. Problem was he had a short attention span, so he was always taking radios, clocks, etc. apart to see how they worked, but never put them back together. My dad turned his back on manly things like the trades, putting his energy into mathematics and banking. He wanted me to follow his footsteps and become a successful businessman. I showed him. I became a starving writer instead. Regardless, my entire diatribe today is due to the recognition that as a home handyman I suck. A month ago, Teresa and I decided to renovate the basement so we could rent out a room. All we needed to do was tear apart a wall or

two, put in some insulation and gyp rock, fix a few outlets, and paint the place. Well, after spending a week making a complete disaster of the wall renovations, I finally called my pal Larry who did all the renovations in two days. Another friend then mudded the walls. All I had to do was paint the place, Not a good plan. Suffice to say I had originally planned to paint
the roof a different colour from the walls— but not now. Despite my best efforts the rugs sport a painted look as well, which is shocking because based on how much paint I managed to get on myself I surprised there was any left to actually hit the rugs. And speaking of shocked, this week I remembered why I do not like things that go zap in the dark. While attempt-
ing to nail the baseboards around the newly painted room, I placed my bare back against the wall and directly onto an exposed wall outlet. Suffice to say I got a charge out of that experience and my hair is a lot curlier than it was before. I know Polysporin is not the best for burns, but it certainly reduces the pain. I sure hope Larry knows something about electrical work. hodgepodge2@shaw.ca
BC JOBS PLAN: TECHNOLOGY Technology is a fast-growing sector of the B.C. economy. The industry is a magnet for highly educated professionals attracted to world-class high-tech clusters including the life-sciences, digital media and wireless, information and communications technology, ocean sciences and motion picture production. The average wage of $63,440 is more than 52% above the average for all jobs in British Columbia, which makes this sector even more attractive to job seekers. In 2009, the high-tech industry provided 84,000 jobs with a total salary bill that added up to $5.3 billion, up from $4 billion in 2007. The job growth will continue, with a projected 57,000 technology jobs opening by 2019, and an annual growth rate of 2.2%. British Columbia attracts global technology leaders, including Pixar, Disney, Boeing, MDA, Microsoft, Sierra Wireless, SAP, Dolby Canada, and Intel. These major technology companies look for a stable economy with a supply of experienced employees and a supportive government. British Columbia has both. It helps that the University of British Columbia is rated No. 1 in terms of technology licensing, an indicator of a high level of success and a culture that nurtures innovation. A healthy high-tech sector also attracts investors who are impressed by the industry’s performance. Revenues have more than tripled in the decade leading up to 2007, and were up another 4.4% by 2009, to $18.9 billion. Currently, investors receive a 30% refundable tax credit, supporting up to $100 million in investment every year. The provincial government, seeing the role they can play in this fast growing sector, will increase the value of this program by $3 million, allowing more individuals known as ‘angel investors’ to put their own capital directly into eligible small business, and to offer strategic expertise.B.C. firms attracted more than 19% of Canada’s venture capital investments in 2010, with B.C. the top province in life sciences venture capital investments. High technology wears many hats. The BC Cancer Agency is a world leader in cancer research, and B.C. is North America’s third-largest centre for film and TV production, averaging $1.2 billion in spending per year, 80% of which is foreign money. The global entertainment and media industry is expected to grow by five per cent a year to 2014, when it will hit $1.7 trillion. B.C. is well positioned to take advantage of this growth. The high-technology industry is not an island. This sector supports B.C.’s entire economy by helping other industries become more innovative, productive and globally competitive. Digital media and interactive gaming technologies are being used in education, agriculture, mining and health care. If you have a gamer in the family, and these days anyone with children qualifies, this Interior South Company will be of great interest. The brainchild of Rob Bartlett, an internet entrepreneur and gamer who launched the company in December 2009, WTFast, also known as LagKiller, speeds up massively multiplayer
online games such as World of Warcraft by 60 to 90 per cent. Within minutes users can create an account, download their software and immediately play their game. WTFast has 110,000 users across the world, including in Australia, South Africa, Germany, Thailand and South America. There are other applications beyond the gaming community. Proprietors of internet cafes and restaurants can benefit from WTFast’s advanced subscription for internet providers. Because the game data is shaped to travel at the fastest possible speed, internet service is sped up. WTFast was the overall winner of Accelerate Okanagan’s inaugural Jump:Start Challenge in November 2011. The company received $10,000 in prizes, including free enrolment for one year in Accelerate Okanagan’s Venture Acceleration Program, which helps high potential technology companies accelerate their growth; as well as one year free office space at Accelerate Okanagan’s Kelowna or Penticton innovation centres, a valuable leg-up for a young company. Other impacts are more global. With an estimated 5.3 billion mobile phone subscribers worldwide – India and China added 300 million subscribers in 2010 alone – the demand for digital, wireless and screen-based entertainment is immense. These two countries, India and China, are undergoing mass movements to urbanization, which also gives B.C. opportunities to offer them clean, efficient energy, waste reduction and health-care solutions. B.C. is perfectly aligned to supply a healthy portion of this demand in the coming years. Airplane sales around the world are expected to reach $US3.6 trillion over the next 20 years to replace aging planes and expand fleets, providing opportunities for our advanced manufacturing sector. Plus, as a climate change leader, we are at the forefront of renewable energy technology development. Finding new markets for our solar, wind, biomass and other technologies can help turn B.C. into a cleantech powerhouse. As Canada’s Pacific Gateway, B.C. is strategically located to reach growing global markets. In addition, B.C. is close to technology and entertainment hubs in Los Angeles, Silicon Valley and Seattle. Under the BC Jobs Plan, the provincial government will work with the federal government to meet our workforce needs and expedite the immigration process for researchers and scientists in other parts of the world who want to bring their expertise to British Columbia. B.C.’s fast-tracked immigration process through the Provincial Nominee Program encourages firms to locate in B.C. so they can hire experienced business immigrants. The B.C. government’s focus on this sector, identified as one of the eight key sectors with the greatest opportunity to bring new dollars into our economy from our most important trading partners, helps nurture an industry that has immense potential to accelerate growth throughout the province.

Breakmen hit B.C. whistlestops Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Nothing says footstomping Canadiana like a tour that starts in Hope and heads to Bowen Island and that’s the route for Vancouver’s The Breakmen as they make their way to Kelowna next week. Timed to arrive just a hair past Valentine’s Day—after hitting the aforementioned musical epicentres—The Breakmen offer the kind of relaxed atmosphere that just might make a great first date, or the backdrop to a night around the fire if that’s more your scene. With three former tree planters, the band basically formed in the backwoods of B.C. sitting around logging camps jamming after hours. “I guess, kind of, the vocal style was there from the start.

Once they met Ben Rogalsky, the group began to meld, but it wasn’t until Matthew Lawson entered the picture that their unique blend of bluegrass, roots and rock emerged, eventually earning them accolades like the Vox Pop Award for Americana Al-
bum of the Year at the Independent Music Awards. Now three albums in, they’ve moved from a fairly genre-specific roots sound into a more experimental phase dubbed “rock and roll banjo” by CBC Radio 3 that really flushes out the music and offers the quartet more avenues into the mainstream.

McGraw country’s best TIM MCGRAW: EMOTIONAL TRAFFIC (CURB)
This new Tim McGraw country CD was 2 1/2 years in the making as his recording label released a Greatest Hits package in the interim— incidentally, against his wishes which caused McGraw to take legal action to get Emotional Traffic released.
SOUNDING OFF
There is also an underBruce current of southern soul Mitchell in this country mix where The album also comes stickered with a rote quote from McGraw that states “This is my best album ever” which most reviewers ignore because almost every artist says that about their new babies. But with Emotional Traffic McGraw may actually be right this time. This is a generous 12-track album and there isn’t a dud on the disc as McGraw co-produces with veteran Byron Gallimore who spent a lot of time and money to get the right sounds and balance.
McGraw shares a ballad with Ne-Yo on Only Human while he covers the old ’60s nugget One Part, Two Part which is also the only song on the album where McGraw shares some mic time with his long-time wife Faith Hill. This is the number one selling country album on the charts right now and should spawn at least three hits. If you go by the “feature” songs sticker on the jewel box, they would be the redemption ballad Better Than I Used To Be, the cool country R&B groove of Right Back

in the latest record, Heartwood. (On a humorous note, they’re packaging all three of their CDs with chocolate hearts to give those who don’t know their sound a little taste of its history. They’re selling the “holiday special” for $35) Ultimately, what The Breakmen do best is the kind of foot-tapping, beer swilling, Kootenay-style fiddling one might expect to find on a mid-summer road trip around B.C. Reviewers seem to have picked up the vibe, labelling their work road-trip music that paints a picture of the Canadian countryside. Technically speaking, the band has more geographical trials than tributes now, as Lawson lives in Ontario and the rest of the group all have families and live very separate lives. “It presents some challenges but on the other hand it kind of has bred this sort of efficiency that we never had before,” said Watson. After combining their heads to write All My Yesterdays on their latest album, Watson says they’re hoping to start writing more as a group. The Breakmen play the Minstrel Café on Feb. 15 at 8 p.m. There is a $5 entertainment charge.

GYM CLASS HEROES; THE PAPERCUT CHRONICLES II (DECAYDANCE)
The Gym Class Heroes have been critics’ darlings for a few years now but they have also crossed over to the mainstream after several years of near obscurity and struggle for survival. Their first album, Papercut Chronicles I (2006), did not sell well and none of their other four albums had much more than one minor hit per disc which just barely allowed the group to hang on with extensive touring. Well, Papercut II now has two huge hits in the top 40 with the dance/ hip hop/pop gems Stereo Hearts that features Adam Levine of Maroon 5 and Ass Back Home that features the soulful voice of distaff Brit Neon Hitch. What sets the GCHs apart from other hip hop/ pop groups besides being interracial is that they play live instruments in their energetic and busy mix and rely less on electronics.

Like the first soundtrack to the popular Nickelodeon series iCarly, this album includes “music from and inspired by the hit TV show.” The show and these putative soundtracks are excellent vehicles for its star, Miranda Cosgrove, who will probably blossom into a pop music sensation as she matures. This is reflected in the more mature selection of outside songs not sung by the iCarly cast and Cosgrove with hits from Katy Perry (Hot N Cold), Ke$ha (Blow), Taio Cruz (Dynamite), Jennette McCurdy (Generation Love) and Leona Lewis (I Will Be). Fans will want to note that some of these popular hits are here in radio edit form while the sometimes cheeky Perry has had her Hot N Cold served up as a “clean” version for those parents who keep a close ear to what their younger teens are listening to.

Child nurturing study illuminating
T
his month, Medscape Medical News reporter Megan Brooks interviewed chief investigator Dr. Joan Luby. Luby’s article, published last month in Proceedings of the National Academy Of Sciences, focused on the importance of early maternal support and nurturing and its effects on brain development in young children. In a study, it was found that supportive and nurturing care of preschool children resulted in a larger hippocampal volume once the children became school age. The hippocampus is important in taking short-term memory and converting it to long-term memory. It is found within the limbic system and is therefore very important for learning. It also has a key function in spatial recognition and navigation.
“It’s the first finding in humans of a clear link between early nurturance and hippocampal volume,” Luby stated in her article. “A wellMarkus established link has Thiel been known in animals for more than 20 years. This has very important general public health implications about the importance of attention to early parenting.” She said there is an abundance of research illustrating a reduction in hippocampal volume when children experience adversity. This study involved 92 children between the ages of three and six. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brains of the children who did not demonstrate depression and who had very nurturing mothers during their preschool years had a hippocampus volume almost 10 per cent larger than the children of nonnurturing mothers.
ASK DR.THIEL
It is ironic that the most advanced species on earth are also the most vulnerable from the moment of birth. From the moment of birth, our children are simply plasticine in their parents hands, being molded any way the parents see appropriate. There is no doubt that the ability of the parents to nurture their children is tantamount to that child’s success in future years—avoidance of depression, ability to deal with stressful situations with positive outcomes and allow that child proper decision-making skills. Very few of us needed a study to demonstrate this. But now there’s tangible evidence about the importance and outcome of just simply loving and nurturing our kids. I can’t imagine how stressful it is to your child in today’s world.

TANNER GUDAUSKAS (left) makes the solitary trek back out with yet another board after breaking several during his heat at the December 2011 Billabong Pipe Master on the North Shore of Oahu. Despite scoring just 4.76 points, he beat Australian Jack Freestone but lost his second heat of the day. Scores of spectators (above) crowd the shore to see surfers compete in surf up to 15 feet that led to spectacular rides and wipeouts.

A hodad’s tale: 20 years of covering Pipeline Gary A. Warner CONTRIBUTOR
My name is Gary Warner and I am a hodad. For those who aren’t familiar with archaic surfer slanger, a hodad originally was the kind of Southern California guy who greased his hair and wore white T-shirts and cared more about working on his hotrods than hanging 10 at the beach. That’s not me. I grew up in the blow-dry era and drove a yellow Ford Pinto in high school. But over the years, “hodad” has morphed into a term used to describe people like me who
can talk surf, wear surfwear, hang out with surfers—but never get up on a board. Bingo. My road to hodadness began 20 years ago last month when, as the Orange County Register’s military writer, I was sent to Oahu for the 50th anniversary of Pearl Harbor. Five thousands survivors, including 50 from Orange County, marched down Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki. Afterward, I was assigned by the paper’s sports editor to go up to the North Shore to check out a hot young Orange County surfer named Andino competing at the
Banzai Pipeline. Two decades later last month, I was rolled out of mothballs as the ex-military writer to go to Pearl Harbor for the 70th anniversary of Pearl Harbor. A few hundred survivors marched or were wheeled into the ceremonies near the USS Arizona Memorial, including about five from Orange County. Afterward, as the travel editor, I assigned myself to head up to the North Shore to check out a hot young Orange County surfer named Andino compete at Pipeline. Kolohe Andino, the son of the guy I went to see the first time, Dino
Andino. In 1991, Dino Andino was part of a hard-charging, high-octane group of young surfers who were bringing edge and attitude to the often laidback sport. Along with his tattooed buddy Matt Archbold, Andino had a reputation of being, well, a jerk when it came to talking to the media. When I walked up to him at Pipeline, he couldn’t have been nicer—maybe it was just the surprise that the hometown paper had come all that way to write him up. “Compared to the North Shore, the surf back home is Pee-Wee

League,” Andino told me. I hung out to watch some great surfing—the Australian Tom Carroll snapped a turn on a barrel at Pipeline that is still legendary today—I have to admit I saw it, but it didn’t register as a great moment at the time. I do remember the guys all wore helmets and tighter trunks—looking a little like Tour de France riders out in the waves. A network television crew filmed the whole thing, and the Hard Rock Cafe was one of the sponsors— I wore out that T-shirt with “PRESS” on the sleeve. The lure of it all hit pretty hard. Banzai Pipe-
line (Hodad note: The “in” name has shifted from Pipeline to Pipe and back to Banzai Pipeline over the years) is the most famous wave in the world for a reason. When it is working—at about 10 to 12 feet—it forms an aquamarine tube that’s unlike anywhere else in the world. And it’s close— you can stand on the beach and see the look of fun or fear on the surfers’ faces as they shoot out the end of the tube or get pummeled into the coral. Since then, I’ve made surf contests part of my travel itinerary. I’ve gone to Australia twice for surf contests. I went all the
way to Tahiti just to see the famous Teahupoo break only to find out I had missed a big swell by two days. Closer to home, I’ve volunteered to cover contests at Trestles and Huntington Beach. Most of all, I’ve been back to the North Shore so many times it’s hard to remember exactly—eight? Ten? I’ve seen all the major contests and twice was lucky enough to catch the rarest north shore event— the Eddie Aikau big wave surf contest that only goes off at Waimea Bay when the waves are over 20 feet.

BEACH-GOERS make their way to the few empty spots in the sand near the center of the action at the 2011 Pipe Masters on the North Shore of Oahu. the absence of women’s events—no pro surfing contest in Hawaii this December despite Carissa Moore of Hawaii leading the women’s top tour and Courtney Conlogue of Santa Ana, Calif., topping the total points board. But no showdown at Moore’s home turf. What a boneheaded loss for pro surfing. This year at Pipeline there was a live video feed, Wi-Fi for reporters, and gourmet food trucks. Like nearly all the contests these days, the sponsor was a surf wear manufacturer—Billabong, out of Australia. But a lot was familiar—the sloping sand, the girls in bikinis, the surfers always surprisingly short—the better to crouch in the tube. There seemed to be more of a family scene—moms and dads with babies, older tourists who drape towels under their baseball caps to cover their necks like something out of the French Foreign Legion. But it was all familiar too. And 20 years later, I was looking for an Andino. “Kolohe” in Hawaiian means a mischievous prankster. But the younger Andino, 17, has a reputation as a nice kid who has been schooled by his dad not only on what to do right, but how wrong it can all go if you make bad personal choices. He’s nicknamed “Brother” by Dino, now 43, for Kohole’s place in the family. But everybody uses the
nickname—from friends to the surf media to the contest announcers. Part of it is people trip over saying his real name, but it also fits—at 17, he’s like the kid brother everybody wishes they had. Kolohe was a wild card invite to Pipeline— he won’t officially be on surfing’s top pro tour until next year. He surfed well in what the announcers said were the largest contested waves in the history of the contest, but lost in Round 3. Kolohe earned big applause because on a day when Pipeline was snapping boards, dislocating shoulders and hammering surfers who hesitated on the long drop, the youngest competitor fearlessly charged every wave. I met him at the water’s edge like I did his dad 20 years before. In a flashback for me, he seemed genuinely pleased that his hometown paper (and now website, mobile app and iPad platform) had made the trip to Hawaii to see him surf. “It was wild out there,” Andino said. “It’s not like back home. But I got a lot of experience for next year.” Two decades have passed. Sons have replaced fathers. What hasn’t change are the waves. The ones thenSurfer magazine editor Steve Hawk said in 1991 demanded surfers “be at your best or they’ll punSee PipelineA31

TRAVEL Pipeline from A30 ish you.â&#x20AC;? What Jon Coen of ESPN in 2011 called â&#x20AC;&#x153;surfingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultimate humbler.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what will bring this hodad back.
IF YOU GO
Pipe Masters: The North Shore surf season runs from about October to March. In summer, the waves are flat. The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing will be held Nov. 14 to Dec. 20, 2012. It includes three events, culminating with the Billabong Pipe Masters Dec. 8-20. Check outvanstriplecrownofsurfing.com. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Eddieâ&#x20AC;?: The waiting period for the 2011 Quiksilver in memory of Eddie Aikau officially comes to a close at the end of February 2012. The waiting period for the 2012 event will be Dec. 1, 2012 to Feb. 28, 2013. The event is only held if waves reach 20-feet at Waimea Bay in clean conditions. Check it out at quiksilverlive.com/eddieaikau/2012.
TIPS
Getting there: The Banzai Pipeline is located just off Ehukai Beach Park, on Kamehameha Highway east of Waimea Bay and west of Sunset Beach. It takes about an hour to cover the 40 miles from Waikiki when traffic cooperates, which is not often. Give yourself 90 minutes. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s limited parking at the lotâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you
can usually find it on noncontest periods, but for Pipeline Masters, be prepared for a long walk after parking somewhere along â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kamâ&#x20AC;? Highway. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice shady walk along the old bike path. Make sure not to park over the bike path when it runs along the roadâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get a ticket. Likewise, if you park in the elementary school across the street.
Where is Pipeline? From the grass area of the Ehukai Beach Park, Pipeline is down to your left about 100 yards. There are two surf breaks at the location. Pipeline is the left break that moves from left to right when seen from the shore. The right break that moves from right to left is called Backdoor or sometimes Backdoor Pipeline. When the waves
are very large, a second tube is created further out, called Outside Pipeline. The basics: There are bathrooms, showers and water fountains at Ehukai Beach Park. During contests, food trucks sometimes stop by. But at other times there is no food sold at the site. Bring your own foodâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;my favorite spot is Tedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bakery, 59-024 Kamehameha Hwy., near
Sunset Beach. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re online at tedsbakery.com or you can phone 808-6388207. They open at 7 a.m. Surfers get up early, so get there early before the best pastries sell out. Tedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also serves plate lunches in the afternoon. What things are called: Just about everything on the North Shore has a Haleiwa mailing address, but the town is only
at the far west end of the surfing area. The Turtle Bay Resort (turtlebayresort.com) is considered the far east end. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only hotel on the North Shore. If you are looking for spots other than Waimea Bay, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to get yourself a map which are available at most surf shops and in Waikiki at ABC Stores and other spots.

An EcoBoost that really hauls Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR
This is more than just a pickup truck. It’s a palace on wheels that gets better than 30 mpg. Tested here is the Ford F-150 Lariat, the topline model, with the bonus of the ultra-lux Platinum trim package. It’s big no matter how you look at it. Coming back from the recent Detroit Auto Show in a Ford Focus, changing to the F-150 was like moving from a townhouse into a castle. It took me a while to get used to the length. I found myself parking with the tailgate sticking out into oncoming shopping mall traffic more than once. But once I got familiar with the location of the four corners I came to
realize why people love their trucks. There is so much cabin space, legroom, hiproom, you name it that it’s like the first class cabin on Air Canada. Tested here is the SuperCrew version with the largest backseat volume Ford offers. It’s big for sure with generous seating for three, very big adults. Saying fuel-efficient and pickup truck in the same sentence was just not possible ≠ until now. Tested here is the 2012 Lariat with 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 engine. FYI, it was a 2011 but prices remain the same for 2012 so you can technically call my tester a 2012. I checked with Ford and they agreed. The engine produSee F-150 B3

Huge hauler on regular gas F-150 from B1 ces 365 hp and 420 lb/ ft of torque and can haul up to 5,126 kg or 11,300 pounds (enough to tow a fully loaded three-horse trailer or 30-foot boat) and on regular gas. Ford claims its payload rating of 3,060 lb (1,388 kg) is the best in its class. EcoBoost is a family of direct fuel-injected, turbocharged four- and six-cylinder gasoline engines that are designed to produce horsepower and torque equivalent to sixand eight-cylinder engines respectively. At the same time, they achieve about 20 per cent fuel savings and reduce greenhouse gases by about 15 per cent. The3.5-litreEcoBoost is one of four engines available for this year’s F-150, the others being a base 3.7-litre DOHC V6, a 5.0-litre DOHC V8 as also found in the Mustang and a 6.2-litre OHV V8. Before the EcoBoost 3.5-litre was released in 2010, Ford engineers put on 2,575,000 km (1.6 million miles) of the harshest-use customer testing it could. Up to 90 per cent of the EcoBoost truck engine’s peak torque is available from 1,700 rpm to 5,500 rpm. A typical comparable V8 competitor reaches peak torque at higher engine speeds (around 4,000 rpm) and holds it for a much smaller range. Ford has made a six-
speed automatic transmission standard across the model range. There is no manual available. Optionally available, and fitted to my tester, was the SelectShift version of the automatic. It allows customers to select any desired gear manually. The transmission also features progressive range select, which allows the customer to lock out the available gears while in Drive. Also enabled is tow/ haul mode, which provides better control when hauling a heavy load or towing a trailer, especially when descending grades. The improved system uses an array of sophisticated electronic sensors to better predict the driver’s need for a downshift to provide engine braking and enhanced control. A factory-installed option is the Trailer Brake Controller that integrates braking inputs, speed and ABS sensors to balance braking. Aiding towing is also Trailer Sway Control that used a yaw sensor that automatically uses selective wheel braking while reducing torque to get truck and trailer on a straight path. Last year I did some testing of the system with a 9,800 lb load of water strapped to a flatbed trailer and the 3.5-litre pulled as advertised. Ford decided to go to electric instead of hydraulic power steering. Along with improved fuel economy, another key

benefit of the electric system is that the steering gear can be more precisely tuned for optimum feel for on-road and parking efforts. The tuning is software-based, so the steering can be programmed and essentially customized to each model based on wheelbase, powertrain and other factors. Suspension is coil over shock reacting to long-spindle double wishbones at the front. At the rear, Ford de-
cided to stay with a solid rear axle instead of going to an independent setup. Ford still believes a live axle and leaf springs is the way to go. The interior is a splendid mix of function and luxury. But it is different from a premium sedan in that this is aimed more at people who have work to do than those who want to be pampered. There are tons of options but how about power

Rio sedan joins hatch as Kia’s latest offering Jim Robinson CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
Hardly a season goes by without Kia adding a new vehicle. In the fall it was the Rio five-door hatch and here it is winter we have the 2012 Rio four-door sedan. Once just another cheap and cheerful Asian econocar brand, Kia has blossomed with standout styling coupled with leading edge engineering and technology. Canadians have responded to this. In 2011, Kia Canada sold more than 65,000 units for the first time ever for a sales increase of 20.9 per cent while the Canadian auto industry as a whole grew
just 1.8 per cent. The 2012 Rio Sedan (or Rio4) is offered in five trims with starting prices beginning respectively with the LX ($13,795), LX+ ($15,295), EX ($16,695) EX+ ($17,165) and EX Luxury ($20,495). This does not include a $1,455 shipping fee. Driving the front wheels is a 1.6-litre gasoline direct injection (GDI) inline four-cylinder engine with a standard sixspeed manual or optional six-speed automatic transmission. Achieving what is claimed a class-leading 138 hp (123 lb/ft of torque) it has a fuel rating of 6.6/4.9L/100 km city/ highway for the manual and 6.8/4.9L/100 km

transmission is the Active ECO system. Turned off and on by a button to the
left of the steering wheel, when activated, it optimizes the engine and transmission for best fuel economy. Like the Rio hatch, the sedan was conceived in Kia’s design studios in Irvine, Calif., having a very European look to it. That’s not surprising, as one of Kia’s major markets is Europe. I remarked in the fall how the Rio Hatchback looked very Golf-ish especially with the 17-in wheels on the EX Luxury model. Heightening that is the fact the sedan has been lowered 15 and the front overhang was shortened by 25 mm compared to

Boxed luxury F-150 from B3 running boards that deploy when any door is opened. There is also a stowable bed extender ($350) that stows neatly into the bed walls. Price for the Lariat 4X4 Platinum starts at $60,499 and the EcoBoost engine adds another $1,000. Also fitted was the $1,000 maximum trailer towing package. Bottom line with $2,800 in options was $64,749 that included a $1,450 shipping fee. And that leads to the $64,000 question. Is any pickup truck worth this kind of money? Folks, Ford wouldn’t be building these trucks if people weren’t buying them. The last I heard was 58 per cent of all F-150s told in the U.S. are now EcoBoost equipped. You can buy a $60,000 luxury car on almost any lot. But will it haul almost
six tons, 1.5 tons in the trunk and five adults all at the same time? And that’s why consumers buy trucks like the Ford F-150 Lariat Platinum.

Rio sedan longer, wider, lower than previous generation Rio from B4 the hatch to give it an even more sporting look. Adding to a more premium styling are outside mirrors fitted to the doors. Not only do these lessen wind noise, outward vision is improved because you can see through the gap between the mirror and the A-pillar. The Rio sedan, again klike the hatch, rides on an all-new platform that is longer, wider and lower than the previous generation. Suspension at the front is MacPherson struts, coil tsprings and a stabilizer bar with a torsion beam axle suspension in the rear. The Rio’s chassis features a high-strength steel structure that includes an innovative ‘Halo Body’ construction designed to help protect occupants in certain side impact and rollover collisions. Standard safety features include six airbags (dual advanced front and front-seat mounted side as well as full-length side curtain), side-impact door beams, height-adjustable front seat belts with pretensioners, three-point seat belts for all seating positions and Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH). Also standard on all Rio trims for increased driver and passenger safety are Electronic Stability Control (ESC), fourwheel disc brake with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) and Vehicle Stability Manage-
ment (VSM), which coordinates the car’s ESC and ABS to help the driver stay in control of the vehicle. The base LX includes as standard bodycolour door handles and sideview mirrors and 15inch steel wheels with 185/65R15 tires, power windows and door locks, driver’s seat height adjuster, map lights, illuminated vanity mirrors, trip computer, sliding centre console armrest and 60/40 split folding rear seats. For some reason I didn’t quite understand at the press launch in Phoenix, the UVO infotainment system is only offered on one model, the EX UVO, not three or four as in the Rio hatch. Developed with Microsoft, it is the second generation of the system originally made for Ford. What I did drive was the EX Luxury Navi with the same infotainment system. It was quick and easy to use requiring no mandatory reading of the manual before setting off. As a matter of fact, my usual co-driver was plugging in destinations on the fly. The big thing was the system not only gave prompts far in advance of turn off, but it was accurate, something other systems I’ve tried have failed to be. The 2012 Rio sedan comes equipped with lowresistance silica tires to help save on fuel. Up in the high dessert there was a lot of sand blowing across the roads.

LIKE THE EXTERIOR, the interior of the 2012 Rio
sedan is very much European in looks and placement of the controls.
So, silica in the tires and sand on the road resulted in a hint of sliding cornering. That won’t be a problem here but in winter conditions with slush, ice and sand, it will probably be best to run four snow tires. The interior of the sedan is identical to the hatch with a three-pot centre instrument cluster. The seats are broad and supportive and, if you move to the trim ladders, there are two-tone treatments and even leather on the
Lux models. Trunk space is adequate at 385 litres and there is a pass-through for the 60/40 rear folding seats. Also adequate is the power. With every current engine technology going for it, 138 hp is pretty good but it fell off in the mountains east of Phoenix as any other car would, due to the altitude and sparser oxygen. But helping out was the Sportshift six-speed automatic. With its sequential manual shift
mode, holding the Rio in a lower gear on a steep climb is a blessing. Driving back to our hotel in Phoenix, we found ourselves in the middle lane of a three-land highway with a Toyota Yaris on the left and a Nissan Versa on the right. My usual co-driver looked over and asked, ‘which would rather have?’ And that’s a very good question you might want to ask yourself if you’re in the market for a sub-compact sedan.

Fuel economy figures are used for comparison purposes only. †ʕΩOffers available for a limited time, and subject to change or cancellation without notice. See dealer for complete details. Dealer may sell for less. Inventory is limited, dealer order may be required. πBased on the December 2011 AIAMC report. ††Hyundai’s Comprehensive Limited Warranty coverage covers most vehicle components against defects in workmanship under normal use and maintenance conditions.
fuel economy is rated at 5.3L/100km. The new engine was revised with new valve design, new valve timing, a new lightweight aluminum cylinder block, larger 68 mm ceramic composite cylinders, improved cooling and sophisticated balancer assemblies for reduced vibration. A sportbike-inspired curved radiator design with electric fan provides maximum cooling efficiency. And a new, fully automatic, CVT (constantly variable transmission) Vbelt transmission ensures easy “twist-the-throttleand-go operation,” utilizing a belt instead of a chain for reduced weight and noise. A newly designed upswept muffler contains a revised catalytic converter to reduce harmful hydrocarbons and nitrous oxide emissions. The muffler produces a quiet exhaust note and its upswept design provides an excellent styling highlight. Weight reductions include a new, lighter ACM (alternating current magneto), new lighter rectifier and a new motorcycle-inspired, aluminum swingarm that reduces unsprung
weight by almost four kg. Dual floating 267 mm front discs are squeezed by R6-inspired four-piston monoblock calipers and, combined with a new, larger 282 mm rear disc with single piston caliper, provides ample stopping power. Rounding out the TMAX revisions are new, lighter, 15-inch mag style die cast aluminum five-spoke wheels, new handlebars, a new angular instrument panel, new headlights and a heightadjustable windscreen. All these new features complement TMAX strengths like the comfortable two-person seat over a large, locking under seat storage compartment that can easily hold a full-face helmet or any assortment of gear or groceries. A vanity light is provided in the rear section of the trunk for added convenience and additional storage can be found in the front area of the rider cockpit with two storage compartments on the left and right side of the inner fairing panel. The 2012 Yamaha TMAX lists for $10,499. Scooter convenience mixed with sportbike attitude and performance. As Yamaha puts it” Motorcycle or scooter? You decide.

Pat was proud of the commitments she made in her life and honoured those commitments to her family and friends. Pat gave of her time to organizations including the Eastern Star.

CMHC says Enjoy the comforts of modular home living housing starts up in January W SOL TERRA RANCH
Bobbi-Sue Menard CONTRIBUTOR
The neighbourhood of Sol Terra Ranch is designed to appeal to a specific new home marketplace segment—buyers looking for an affordable modular home with flexible options. Chaparral Homes in Kelowna has a new showhome at Sol Terra Ranch that showcases custom the features and customized possibilities fo modular home living. Every Sol Terra Ranch home also comes with a basement, offering the opportunity to set up a rental suite. Sol Terra’s close proximity to UBC Okanagan also opens up opportunities to readily find renters. The Chaparral Homes showhome has a 1,448 square-foot, two bedroom main floor with a 964 squarefoot two bedroom suite downstairs. If not used as a rental suite, the 500 square-feet in the basement is an additional space for an extra bedroom or a recreation room with access from the main floor of the house. Like all Chaparral Homes, the modular home is factory started construction that is finished on site. Sol Terra Ranch has exclusively gone with modular homes in this projectto help keep costs reasonable for buyers. As the new showhome illustrates, modular homes can be customized on the main floor to meet a variety of desires. The Chaparral Homes showhome is lovely to look at both inside and out. The exterior has multiple roof lines for visual interest, a charming front porch and stone detailing. The warm grey/blue sid-

THE SOL TERRA RANCH showhome (top photo) located near the UBC Okanagan campus in north Kelowna offers spacious setups for the master bedroom suite (right lower photo) and the living room. ing is trimmed with a timeless taupe trim, a classic combination made modern with the linear contrast detailing in the peaks of the roof line. The great room on the main floor is open and airy with long sight lines. The living room has a feature wall with a large gas fireplace. Warm wood floors and deep trim along the baseboard and around the large
windows keep the room in balance. The kitchen has a deep tile backsplash edging lovely dark wood bead board fronted cabinetry finished with modern hardware. It is a clean crisp look that is instantly welcoming. The large kitchen island has plenty of room for company, while the pantry is built for storage. The dining room can seat
a family. There is a large sliding glass door accessing the generous back deck off of the dining room. The dining room is flooded with light and in the summer will have great continuity with the deck for more options when entertaining guests. The main floor master suite is spacious with the same attention to detail found
throughout the home. The Chaparral Homes show home in Sol Terra Ranch is open seven days a week, Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and weekends, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pricing starts at $365,000 and completion of a home from start to finish is normally about four months. For more information visit www. ownsolterra.ca.
The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation reports 49 Kelowna area housing starts in January 2012 compared to 33 homes the same month in 2011. Both detached home and multifamily starts were up from a year ago. Single detached homes remained the focus of new home construction in January. “Lower construction costs and lot prices have enabled builders to better compete with the existing home market and attract price sensitive buyers,” explained CMHC market analyst Paul Fabri. Multi-family starts in January included semi-detached units and townhouses. “Builders continue to favour smaller housing projects rather than larger apartment condominium projects,” noted Fabri. Vernon housing starts also moved higher compared to January 2011 levels, while both Kamloops and Penticton recorded fewer housing starts in January 2012 than in the previous year. Meanwhile, The Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board reported January sales activity of all property types rose marginally over the same month last year as the housing market continues to show moderate but steady improvement. “January home sales were strong in the Okanagan-Shuswap as most segments in our market remain stable going into 2012, with indications that we are on our way to the 5,000 units forecast for this year—a four per cent improvement over 2011, ” said Rob Shaw, OMREB vice-president. “Provincewide, unit sales are trending at a 15-year average and house prices are staying relatively flat. The differentiation between the Lower Mainland market activity and the rest of B.C. is beginning to narrow.”
