A different hat This Remembrance Day the first women to serve in the Canadian Navy recall how war changed their world.

hen high school ends and it’s time to leave the nest, one can expect to see a typical teen head out for a tour of Europe, take to a small car to roam the country, head to Africa to volunteer, or work on an Israeli kibbutz. For women like 88-year-olds Joy Guthrie and Margaret Farrow, though, the options after high school were limited. Just transitioning to adulthood when they enrolled in the Women’s Royal Canadian Naval Service, the suggestion that joining the war effort would offer exciting adventures and a chance to travel was so pervasive even their families didn’t stand in their way. “My mother told me to go see something. You don’t want to stay in Red Deer all your life,” said Farrow. See story A3.

CLOSE-UP

Ready and willing to defend their country from A1

JOY GUTHRIE

The navy was the last branch of the service to accept women and was known for its sticky acceptance requirements. The girls needed references and found there wasn’t much training, or even a proper uniform, once they were learning the ropes. Young, naive and looking for action, Prairie girls like Guthrie and Farrow were game for whatever came their way, whether it be using a sock for a scarf or an order to move to Halifax. “I liked the hats,” Farrow said. “My sister was in the Air Force, so sisters, you know, I joined the Navy. But really, I picked it because I like the hats.” Every woman that enlisted quelled the need for men on shore, so the girls were none too popular with sailors. Once safely ensconced in desk duties, young men in the Navy saw the WRNS come in and they shipped out. To listen to these two women, though, there were plenty of girls who would have gladly gone in their place. Farrow finally got her chance to go overseas, for example, but fell ill with pneumonia and was forced to remain home until the officers took pity on her and made other arrangements. With her friends heading to Scotland, she was offered a consolation secondment to Newfoundland where, unbeknownst to most Canadians, the country was actively en-

gaged in war with German U-boats trying to sink ships. “I came home on an icebreaker and we were being shadowed by a ship, but we weren’t told. We just knew that it was on the horizon a way back there and then it wasn’t,” she recalled. The Germans sunk the ship and gave the girls a taste of the danger the men overseas faced daily. Guthrie and Farrow didn’t know each other during the war, though they share a commonality of experience. Only people like Farrow, who had been out to

see the sunken skeleton of one boat through the clear cold waters off ‘Newfie’ (as they call it), knew the danger Canadians faced. The WRNS generally didn’t have a very complete picture of the war effort either; each were assigned to specific tasks and, beyond that, asked to keep mum. “You didn’t talk about it,” she said. “No one knew what you were doing, not your parents, not your friends. You kept your mouth shut and, for the most part, we did a pretty good job of doing that.” Guthrie herself was

nowhere near danger. Assigned to a secret portion of the service, she spent her days listening to dead communication lines as

an operator tasked with intercepting Nazi messages. The German Uboats would communicate by sending out a signal—a single letter, stated over the lines as quickly as possible as the Nazis knew others were listening to try to pinpoint their whereabouts. When the HMS Hood, a Royal Navy ship, sank the German Bismarck— an event commemorated in song and cinema— operators like Guthrie tracked down the Hood as it slipped toward France, ensuring it wasn’t lost. Whether sorting mail

like Farrow or acting as an operator or stenographer, the women knew their services were needed, and when they were called to duty, they jumped. There were concerts. Farrow saw Frank Sinatra in Newfoundland and thought “the skinny man had a good voice,” though Canadian Phil Silvers was better. And there were chances to take the odd ride on a ship or join the sailors for a movie or dinner on board. But there was heartache too. “They didn’t really say, but when the mail went to the dead ship that

meant the ship had gone down,” said Farrow. Her boyfriend, whom she would later marry, was overseas and she waited for five years for him to return. “First it was the war would be over by Christmas. Then it was Easter. Then it was next year; after a while you just kept going.” The years of limbo are recorded in her wartime letters; she still has the notes he would send to this day. His were stolen along with his kit in Europe. See Country A4

CLOSEUP

WW II: Young people were eager to go where the action was Country from A3 Farrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband helped free Holland and the couple returned, tracing the route he took during the war, on the 50th anniversary of the emancipation. Guthrie also went to Europe and toured the gas chambers and areas where battles would have occurred.

She only really learned about the conflict in Newfoundland a few years ago after her son gave her a book explaining what happened. But ask them if they worried about being sent overseas, feared being sent to the front lines or onto a ship that might be downed, and they smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh no,â&#x20AC;? says Farrow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any young per-

son want to go where the action is?â&#x20AC;? They focus on the camaraderie, talk of reunions and compare notes. The navy had sheets, the army didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Guthrie had a summer uniform, but a sock for a tie. Farrow had a tie but only one uniform. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You never had to worry whether you had someone to go to a show

She knows the women who typically lay the wreath at the Ottawa service and can often spot other WRNS in the crowd. Established in 1942, the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Royal Canadian Naval Service was the last branch of the Canadian Armed Forces to accept women, forming in 1942. By the end of the war, there were 6,000 women serving as officers and regular personnel. There are believed to be five or six WRNS in Kelowna.

CIVIC ELECTION

W WEST KELOWNA

Candidates talk economics Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Economic issues were the focus of debate at the Westbank and District Chamber of Commerce all-candidates forum on Wednesday evening. All 13 council candidates and both mayoral hopefuls were on hand to answer a selection of questions from various chamber members and a couple questions posed by the audience. One of the more unique questions directed at the mayoral candidates was if they would support a Westbank First Nation council member to participate in the West Kelowna council meetings as a non-voting member. Rosalind Neis said she would be willing to do that as long as WFN also invited a member of DWK council to their meetings as a non-voting member.

SEE STO SEE SSTORY TO ORY RY Y www.kelownacapnews.com

“I don’t think, as a community, we should necessarily be bowing over to every request, but we have to work together,” said Neis. “After Nov. 19, my first phone call will be to Chief Robert Louie and his wife, inviting them to my home for dinner. We have to start communicating.” Doug Findlater said he wouldn’t be open to the suggestion. “I wouldn’t support inviting them in to be a non-voting member; we’re separate jurisdictions,” he said. “The appropriate place for WFN to hold a seat is at the regional board table. They are currently a non-voting member at the regional board table as

one of the stakeholders in the area. “They’ve written to the regional district, indicating they’d like to be admitted as a voting member of the regional district. I would support that as long as they are going to be a full player and a full contributor just like every other jurisdiction.” A probing question, posed to the councillor candidates, was a three-inone query, which divided candidates as seeing the business climate glass as half-full or half-empty. They were asked: How would you qualify the current business climate? What would you consider as shortcomings? What are you planning to do to improve it over the next mandate? Rusty Ensign didn’t hesitate to indicate that he felt the current climate wasn’t good. “To be forthright, we

have unfortunately the most cumbersome jurisdiction right next to the most progressive jurisdiction in the province,” said Ensign. “This bureaucracy has scared so much business away that it’s frightening. We have to re-establish our reputation in the business world to attract business.” Bryden Winsby said that he’s “not quite the gloom and doomer that Rusty is.” “I’m also not so sure that things are so bad; thank goodness we’re not Italian. What we need to do here is look at what the municipality can do and where it may be at fault,” said Winsby. Gux Albrecht used his personal experiences to answer the question. “As a developer, I’ve developed 75,000 square feet of industrial space in the last five years, creating

COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS City Council endorsed a series of recommendations Monday to alleviate some immediate concerns residents have about parking violations and volumes on the streets near the hospital. City staff will continue working with residents and officials at Kelowna General Hospital to find long-term solutions to parking issues in the hospital neighbourhood. Some immediate measures include enhanced enforcement of parking restrictions in the area, along with parking options for KGH staff and contractors.

years. We need clarity in the OCP. We need to communicate to DWK an urgency that time is money in business.” Duane Ophus said that he’s not willing to go back and do things they way they were done 15 years ago. “I wake up every day thinking about jobs and the economy and business in our community. I realize there are obstacles and we do have to get better,” said Ophus. “But I want to say, we are not going back to the Wild West if I have anything to do or say about it.” Rick de Jong said while there are steps to be taken, council has begun to address some of the problems. “Seventy-five per cent

of the working people within the DWK get up every morning and leave the district to go to work. We have a shrinking tax base. We have a lack of downtown appeal. We have a weak community identity,” said de Jong. “We have hurdles to overcome, but the current council has already taken steps to address the hurdles.” The candidates will meet for a third and final forum, hosted by the Westside Residents’ and Business Association, on Nov. 16 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Westside Alliance Church Hall.

W CENTRAL OKANAGAN HERITAGE SOCIETY

Ranking the importance of historic assets Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Heritage issues are ones you don’t often hear the civic election candidates talk about, yet there is a dedicated group of volunteers and others in the city who feel they’re very important. The Central Okanagan Heritage Society manages some of the city’s major historic landmarks. It owns and operates Benvoulin Heritage Park,

which includes the restored 1892 Gothic Revival-style church building, recently-re-built Reid Hall, the cottage garden around it and the caretaker’s residence, McIver House, an 1890s farmhouse. It also maintains Guisachan Heritage Park under contract with the City of Kelowna, a site that features Guisachan House, built in 1891 for Lord and Lady Aberdeen. The site includes McDougall House, which is

owned by the COHS and the Milk Shed, where the society’s offices are located. The society has also been working to restore Brent’s Grist Mill, located in a heritage park adjacent to Mill Creek. The society’s executive director Janice Henry points out that a number of city-owned heritage assets are reaching a critical point where considerable work is required to preserve them. In some cases, she

says making changes to their interiors would allow for adaptive re-use. The COHS would like candidates to comment on what role they see built heritage assets playing in the community. As well, she says some of the city’s heritage assets are falling apart, including Brent’s Grist Mill, while millions of dollars are found for more parks and other community buildings and priorities. The COHS is interest-

ed in knowing how candidates feel about creation of a line item in the city’s annual budget to address ongoing maintenance issues associated with these historic assets. The society also wonders what candidates’ positions would be on using a portion of the local hotel tax in support of community assets, such as heritage sites, to ensure that tourists can get a sense of local history. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

tion day, Saturday, Nov. 19. Residents can pick the place and voting day of their choice as polling stations located across the city are open to all eligible voters.” On Wednesday, the advance poll at the Parkinson Recreation Centre had 1,536 votes cast, while Okanagan College had 527.

Next Wednesday, Nov. 16, the Parkinson Recreation Centre, Kelowna City Hall and the UBC Okanagan campus will offer voters three locations for more advanced voting opportunities. All advanced voting polling stations will be open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. While the first day of advance voting saw strong numbers in Kelonwa, in West Kelonwa the numbers were smaller, say municipal officials. The first day of advance voting in West Kelowna saw 387 ballots cast at the District of West Kelowna office poll. For the regional disitrict’s Central Okanagan East electoral area, 45 people cast ballots on the first day of advance voting (up from 42 on the same day in 2008), while 53 people voted in the first Central Okanagan West electoral area advance poll (down from the 59 who voted on the same day in 2008).

Plan to enhance culture Alistair Waters fASSISTANT EDITOR Kelowna city council has endorsed a plan aimed at guiding its approach to arts and culture for the next five years. The city’s new cultural plan, described by cultural services manger Sandra Kochan as a guide for planning and budgeting, contains 10 goals and 63 strategies to enhance Kelowna’s cultural vitality, measure cultural impact on the city and enhance what the plan calls the “cultural ecosystem.” “A key aspect of this plan is that it builds on existing facilities, budgets and efforts of the com-

munity,” said Kochan in presenting the plan to council. While the city provides support in key ways, true success, she said, will be based on leadership by, and partnerships with, others. And it’s in that context that council was asked to support the nonmonetary initiatives in the report and move forward. Kochan said while a number of improvement initiatives will require financial assistance to proceed, due to current economic conditions within the community and the country, city funding is not possible for those improvements. So while the plan iden-

tifies strengths and weaknesses, Kochan said city staff will evaluate funding for specific projects individually in relation to future city budgets. The cultural plan notes that Kelowna has excellent facilities and fiscal support, weaknesses include a lack of public awareness of what is happening here, a lack of youth involvement, high costs and a lack of affordable production space for artists.

‘When there’s uncertainty, investment gets pulled’

here’s been much ado about development—or the lack thereof—in the run-up to Kelowna’s civic election. Predictably, it started at an Urban Development Institute’s election forum. But the topic took an unpredictable turn when mayoral candidate Walter Gray started waxing on about resurrecting the CD-21 Zone, an ill-fated high-density redevelopment plan for four-blocks of the downtown. A couple weeks later, at another forum, Gray changed his tune, said the plan was indeed “dead” and it was time to move on. However, he continued saying current council’s indecisiveness (a-hem, obvious point not being made here) remained Kelowna’s roadblock to a

KATHARTIC healthy economy, chock

o’ block with new development. He’s not the only one beating that drum, of course. There appear to be lobby groups galore Kathy pointing to downtown Michaels as though it’s a council driven ghost-town in the making. Too few “shovels in the ground” is something I’ve heard a few times, but is the building slowdown really the product of a municipal government? Presumably not even a healthy dose of sunshine could stave off the global recession’s entrance into the valley. To help separate rhetoric from reality, I asked Randy Shier the president of Kelowna-based development company the Mission Group, to make sense of the current market.

Specifically, would the CD-21 Zone even have worked, considering so many other developments have failed in the months that followed council’s decision. “It’s not an easy question to answer. In today’s market it would be difficult to bring a residential tower to market and get the pre-sales to finance and build it,” he said. “But there might have been opportunities for the hotel/retail office component.” What was disturbing, Shier continued, was that council’s Febuary 2010 decision to kill the plan created uncertainty. “In the development business, we’re nothing more than investors. When there’s uncertainty, investment gets pulled back,” he said. “CD-21 wasn’t perfect, but council caused uncertainty. Now we’re in another uncertain time. Hopefully, with the new election, we’ll

see some stability.” Contrary to some business leaders who are beating a development-centric drum, Shier said the issue council should be focused on is the economy. “It’s not about my industry,” he said. “The development industry doesn’t drive the economy. We will provide homes, spaces to work and the shops for people to buy products in. We’re more reflective of what’s going on.” A new council would ideally focus on attracting new businesses to the Valley; and digital animation, high tech, bio tech and other industries that tie into Kelowna’s university would help the economy thrive. “The future for our community is young people, we need to have a good growing economy for them to stay here,” he said, pointing out that the preSee MichaelsA11

W A LEADER NEEDS A VISION

A vision for what City of Kelowna could be Open letter to candidates for mayor and council: In March I attended a meeting at city hall devoted to plans for some waterfront properties that the city owns. While I applaud the work that city staff did developing the proposal, the meeting and the issue speak to the relationship Kelowna residents have with the lake. There were people from all over the city that came to the meeting and nobody spoke against more lake access. The lake is the defining feature of our city, yet it is becoming ever less accessible to those of us not fortunate enough to live on the water. Mission Creek has been good enough to deposit a large fan of sandy material along the lakeshore, the longest continuous beach on Okanagan Lake with some of the best shallows. However, unlike our neighbour city to the south, we have not protected this beach for t the public. When the city was small, it probably didn’t seem wrong to allow private residences to be built along the lakeshore. However, we are no longer the third town on the lake. We are now the first city. We are a city. We are not a small town. I believe we need to start thinking like a city. I also believe that great cities have great public spaces that build on the connection between the people and the place they live. Stadiums, airports, and casinos are just buildings, and they can be found anywhere. However, Okanagan Lake is unique to us. I believe that we need to take full advantage of our lake, and

do so for all people in our city. I have a vision for the future of our lakeshore. In 20 years, I see myself cycling south along the Abbott Parkway. On my right is parkland with trees, picnic tables, and here and there a tennis court, a skate park, or a water park. Beyond the trees is the beach. As I cycle along, I pass on my left clusters of low rise condominiums with coffee shops, restaurants, and other shopping on the ground floor. Between these clusters are some neighbourhoods of heritage single family residences and other places where linear parks lead back to Pandosy. From time to time the free Kelowna Beach Bus passes me, shuttling people between parking areas further back from the water. There is little other traffic, as the only parking along the parkway are a few clusters of handicapped spots. People of all ages, from all over our city, are here enjoying our waterfront. Can this vision be achieved? I believe it can. It won’t be cheap and it won’t be easy. Some people, particularly those who own property on or near the waterfront, will certainly be opposed. Living on the water gets more attractive (and more expensive) the more crowded the public beaches get. It will cost us more now than if earlier leaders had had the foresight to act. They didn’t. However, it will keep getting more expensive the longer we wait. If I were in charge, I would designate a special development zone from the bridge all the way to the Cascia Linear Park in the South

Mission area, extending a couple of blocks back from the water. No further development would be permitted for any properties along the water. Low density development would be allowed east of these properties. Developers would be able to increase the density and/or height of allowable development by purchasing lakefront properties, clearing them, and granting them to the city. In this way, we can harness the creativity and industriousness of the development industry to help transform the lakeshore into our signature public space. I also expect that the benefit of creating this public space for quality of life in our city will be reflected in property values throughout the city. It will also play an important part in attracting and retaining the knowledge workers of the modern economy that create the high paying modern jobs we want for our city. Vision seems to be a popular theme for many candidates. However, it seldom goes beyond something like “strong, sustainable economy with opportunities for all?” I believe we need more details, and we need leaders who will commit to a vision and then do the work needed to make it happen. To me, real leadership is about bringing people onside and mobilizing the talent and resources to achieve the vision. I want to support a leader who will seize the opportunity and guide Kelowna toward the great city it has the potential to be. John Janmaat, Kelowna

Developers take good with bad to be here Michaels from A10 vious boom time, although lucrative for his ilk, didn’t have the necessary balance to allow young people to put down

roots. “As our construction industry ramped up, 25 per cent of jobs were construction related and today we are at around 17 per cent,” he said, adding

the provincial average is 15 to 20 per cent, which is balanced. “When it goes higher than 20 per cent…we were probably growing too much.”

That said, if he had the chance to build again, in the same market, he and others like him would. “We’ve made a choice to be in this market, and with developers, some-

Re-current flooding events will become the pattern in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, he said, due to climate change. And, in the Arctic, the landscape is melting under their feet, he added. One way to manage the affects of climate change is to manage water carefully. However, he said infrastructure causes waste, for instance, in our reliance on lawns.

That waste is not only costly in water, but also in such energy costs as treatment of that wasted water and transportation of it. That could all be halted by policy changes to save water at the government level. Streamlining is needed to reduce the institutional fragmentation when it comes to managing water, he noted.

W CRIME

Rapist re-offender risk warning issued to Kelowna Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

A serial rapist, who authorities have reason to believe will re-offend, was released from prison Thursday, and is planning to make Kelowna his new home. Andrew Aurie Jefferson, 26, fulfilled his sentence for a Calgary-based criminal history that included two convictions for sexual assault using knives in 2006, and another for physical assault

the same year. His pattern was to randomly grab women from behind as they were walking down the street. He threatened to kill them if they screamed, and used a knife to subdue them as he sexually assaulted them. He was convicted for those crimes in 2008, but applied to get early release. In the last eight months, however, that request was denied when the parole board deemed him at high risk of re-of-

fending. Jefferson was forced to fulfill his full sentence, which earned him a Thursday release along with a long list of conditions that local Mounties intend to enforce. “We are keenly aware of what we need to do to make sure he abides by his conditions,” said Const. Steve Holmes, noting that one of the steps to ensure the community’s safety is making the information of his release available. Holmes doesn’t be-

lieve Jefferson’s address will be made public information. “This person has charter rights like we all do. Even though he’s been released by a peace bond, he still has those rights,” he said. The last time Kelowna police had to issue a similar warning was in 2006, and Holmes doesn’t recall any problems ensuing. Conditions of Jefferson’s release include: • Keep the peace and be of good behaviour.

Threatening letter shocks residents Roger Knox CONTRIBUTOR

RCMP are investigating the authenticity of a letter from an individual claiming responsibility for the death of an Armstrong teenager, and threatening more harm to women across B.C. The letter was received at the Armstrong detachment on Wednesday. RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Dan Moskaluk said the letter writer claimed to be responsible for the Halloween night death of Taylor Van Diest, 18, and suggested possible further violence against women. “We can state that the letter contains very limited information regarding the details of this crime,” said Moskaluk at a press conference Thursday at Vernon City Hall. “As a result, we are unable to confirm that the letter was, in fact, written by the perpetrator.” Moskaluk would not give any details about the contents of the letter, whether it was hand-written or typed, or how it got to the detachment. Police would like to hear from whoever wrote the letter, or from somebody who knows something about it. “We would like to hear from the letter writer again,” said Moskaluk. “Investigators would like the writer to contact them by telephone or letter as they would like to create a dialogue to prevent any further violence.” A badly injured Van Diest was found by a family member and friends at 8:45 p.m. Oct. 31 in a bush area near the Rosedale Avenue railway tracks. She left her home wearing a zombie-like Halloween costume and

make-up at around 5:50 p.m. Her family reported her missing at 7:30 p.m. She died later that night in Kelowna hospital. Moskaluk confirmed again that police still do not have a suspect in the case. A dedicated tip line has been established for all messages and information regarding the Van Diest murder, should someone wish to report infor-

mation to the police. The number to call is 1-888-688-4264. While the investigation remains active and on-going, with a large number of personnel dedicated to it, the receipt of the letter, with its threatening nature, has enforced the need for police to re-issue a public request for extra vigilance. “We are asking that the general public remain

vigilant and continue to take extra personal safety precautions in our communities,” said Moskaluk. Police recommend traveling in a group, or asking parents or friends for a ride. Travel areas of the community that have good visibility. Let family or friends know where you are going and when you expect to arrive. If you have a cell phone, carry it.

W HEALTH

Headaches can be perpetuated by use of medication I n my profession, I see a lot of patients who come to me suffering from debilitating, chronic headaches. One of the questions I ask them is, “How do you best remedy your headaches?” Often the response is Tylenol, Aspirin, or the like. There is a little known, but all-too-common a subset of headaches, called rebound headaches. Ironically, these headaches are caused and perpetuated by the medication which was intended to rid the sufferer of their pain. I see this especially in my younger patients. Factually speaking, if the headaches have no known neurological, physiologic or organic causative factors, it often is the medication that is perpetuating the headaches. The solution is simple and inexpensive. I will tell these patients to save their money and discontinue the medication for a period of two weeks, and then re-assess the headaches at that time. I would continue to monitor them throughout the two week trial.

ASK DR.THIEL

This condition, also called hepatotoxicity, can cause just a small amount of liver damage that is virtually unnoticeable, all the way to complete liver fail-

ure that requires a liver transplant and anything in between. Tylenol use is one of the primary causes of non alcoholic liver failure in

the U.S. It may stand to reason that you are not having headaches because of a Tylenol deficiency, quite the opposite. If you are having

correct on a daily basis. Markus Thiel is a doctor of chiropractic. Questions and comments may be sent to: askdrthiel@shaw.ca

Markus Thiel It is important to note that because these are rebound headaches, they will go through some degree of withdrawal and their headaches will subsequently become slightly worse. This is similar as to what is seen in people who stop drinking coffee. It is important to note that this is only temporary. The end result is that they will be rid of their headaches, once and for all. Such medications as Tylenol are not to be considered benign by any means. There are many side effects, with some being quite serious. Liver failure is one such side effect. Liver toxicity is one of the most well-known, but least talked about, of the Tylenol side-effects. In the U.S., the FDA has placed a Black Box Warning on Tylenol to warn of its dangerous effects on the liver.

Tapping into our resource of seniors

Friday, November 11, 2011 Capital News

NEWS

Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

If there were a better place to launch a tool kit aimed at recruiting and extolling the virtues of volunteering in retirement, Kelowna’s volunteer coordinator says she can’t imagine it—at least in Canada.

While Kelowna’s aged population might be a bane for hospitals, its a boon for those seeking an able, willing and engaged workforce willing to volunteer time simply for the satisfaction of doing so. So when Dawn Wilkinson, volunteer coordinator at Kelowna Community Resources, dis-

covered Volunteer Canada had done some research and developed tool kits aimed at getting boomers and seniors into the volunteer workforce, she jumped at the chance. “This is the key place to come and launch your resources,” she remembers telling a Volunteer Canada representative at

the conference where she first heard the news. And Volunteer Canada agreed with her pitch. This month, the nonprofit organization, which advocates for volunteerism across the country, will be in town to introduce not one, but two written resources aimed at pitching the 55-plus crowd

on the merits of volunteerism and helping non-profits make that pitch. Wilkinson said the information focuses on selling the idea that volunteerism can keep a person engaged and actively contributing in society for the rest of their life. One resources targets seniors themselves; the other tar-

gets the organizations needing their help. The event is free and will run from 8:30 to 11 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 18, at Apple Valley Seniors’ Housing, 2055 Benvoulin Crt. To register call Dawn Wilkinson at 250-7638008, ext. 24 or email informkelowna@kcr.ca. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Fall is the time for love in the great outdoors

lissfully unaware that he was about to bump into a raised wooden deck in my backyard, the magnificent buck kept raising his rack to sniff the air. Not far in front of him was a mule deer doe, and wherever she went around the yard, he was hot on her heels. For once, they weren’t feasting on my flowers. Apparently, they had other things in mind. Birds may twitter about love in the spring, but for deer, the rut occurs in fall, when bucks begin to act totally out of their normally-cautious character and chase about after does, battling it out with other bucks for the right to a forest favourite. I’m sure the doe was one of our regulars, but I’m not sure where the big buck had been lured from. There’s a small neighbourhood buck who has lost most of one side of his antlers somehow or another, and he chased a doe around the yard last week, ripped up the grass in a scrape to mark his territory and even behaved quite aggressively toward us, lowering his head threateningly. However, he is much smaller than this morning’s visitor and I think he was born right in the neighbourhood. We have quite a herd of them, complete with fawns, who have now lost their spots, but are quite silly and fun to watch. With the cold nights this week, the last of my brilliant orange maple leaves have now fallen from the branches and the beans have withered on the trellis. Sumac, both the orange and fiery red, are rapidly losing the last of their leaves, leaving a puddle of colour around the trunk. It’s definitely fall, and last week’s drift of white is a reminder that winter isn’t far behind. Incidentally, the Friends of Mission Creek Society invites everyone to their annual general meeting Thursday, Nov. 17, at 6:45 p.m., at the EECO in Mission

HE MAY be short an antler, but this neighbourhood buck doesn’t let that stop him in his quest for autumn love.

Creek Regional Park on Springfield Road. Guest speaker will be Ian Walker, from the Earth and Environmental Sciences Department at UBC Okanagan. Judie Walker will talk about Steeves the Okanagan Valley’s history, from the height of the last glaciation to the present day, including physical changes in lakes, valley and its climate. He will begin by exploring the natural origin and development of the valley’s flora and fauna, both aquatic and terrestrial, over the past 15,000 years. He will close with a discussion of recent human impacts on the valley environment, with a focus on lake and water quality. Ian is really knowledgeable and this will be a fascinating evening. Also, hunters and anglers: you have until Nov. 18 to comment on the provincial hunting and fishing regulations on the new “engagement website” set up by the province for public consultation on regulations. Go to: http://a100.gov.bc.ca/ pub/ahte/. Hikers should lace up their boots Saturday, Nov. 19 for one of the Central Okanagan Naturalists’ Club’s continuing series of free public events, this time exploring Rose Valley, Shannon Lake and Kalamoir Regional Parks in West Kelowna. This one in the Discover Nature series will feature Emile Brokx leading a gentle hike around Goldies Pond, meeting at the parking lot on Westlake Road, adjacent to the pond, at 10 a.m.; followed by a short hike in to Rose Valley dam. That will be followed by a picnic lunch at Shannon Lake or at a local coffee shop. In the afternoon the group will visit Kalamoir Park. Dress suitably for the weather and bring your lunch and water, along with a toonie for insurance. No pets.

SARAH SLEAN performs at the Kelowna Community Theatre Nov. 20.

Sarah Slean free of ‘powers that be’ to call her own shots Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Talent, success and Sarah Slean seem to go hand in hand on the Canadian music scene, but when the Toronto-based musician ventured into her latest project, it was truly a leap of faith. Fresh from rehearsal for her Western Canadian tour of Land and Sea, a two-disc album released this spring, Slean gave the Capital News a quick Q&A over email as her voice needed the break. Here’s what Slean had to say about her latest musical adventure. JS: Bringing out two albums at once is a pretty

risky move in this day and age, how did you convince the powers that be that this was the route to go? SS: Ha! Funny. There are no “powers that be.” I left Warner in February of 2009. I am officially self-governed. That’s why I call these records “the miracle twins.” No label waved its magic wand. That just doesn’t exist any more. And I will never, as long as I live, request permission from anyone to create. As I began writing in 2009, the songs were collecting around two poles: One, rousing, liberated pop that spoke of the here and now; and two, philo-

bass, guitar, piano) together in one room and I think the recording has a great sense of immediacy and presence because of that. I wasn’t happy with the way two of our tracks turned out though, so I turned to Royal and Greg for those, and I think they both brought their terrific musicianship and energy to those tracks. I chose Jon Goldsmith for Sea because he has a lot of experience working with orchestras in studio. I met him through working with The Art of Time Ensemble and we’ve become good friends. He’s a great intellectual sparring partner.

JS: One has to ask, do you have a favourite song on the albums? SS: Hmmm. From Land I’d say Life is my favourite. It’s a kind of riotous anthem to whatever it is that animates our cells and keeps our hearts beating. To be a human, to have a body, to breathe and live, these are wildly interesting things if you actually ruminate on them for a while. We are so peculiar and resilient and beautiful and teeming with potential; most of the time, we don’t put our attention on these wondrous facts. From Sea, I’d say it’s See Slean A23

It’s a

Music keeps calling Slean from A22 The Cosmic Ballet. This song speaks the whole story of Sea. It is a hymn to the extraordinary miracle of the cosmos, our human lives, all that is in this world, including the dying and suffering. “You, my darling, are the rest and motion of the Cosmic Ballet.” The spiritual revelation is that it’s a dance, all of it; it’s a kind of respiration of the force of life itself. “Ebb and flowing of an ancient ocean, oh the cosmic ballet.” The last line is “sweet dancing, and dancers you shall be.” JS: What’s the show look like? I would imagine, given the imagery in the music, some work has been put into the staging. Can you give us a taste? SS: I am bringing my finest band yet, including a female backup singer and multi-instrumentalist (at last, a woman on the road!). I, unfortunately, won’t be bringing my handpainted piano shell— which is quite a sight— because of flight restrictions. But it’s all about the music anyway. JS: Is there anyone, off the top of your head, that you would like to work with in the future? Tim Burton is top of the list. The next two are dead, sadly. Bernstein and Glenn Gould. JS: What inspired this collection of songs? SS: After my last album, The Baroness, came out in 2008, and I finished touring it, I had the feeling that something significant had concluded. I let go of a lot of old stor-

ies; closed the book, so to speak, at last. And then I had a banner year—graduated, got married, left Warner, toured with the Art of Time, went to Rwanda with Song for Africa. It was a year of major experiences. All of this caused a great explosion of music inside of me, which only increased when I went to both of my go-to inspiration spots to begin the scoring for orchestra: Paris and Newfoundland. Watching whales play in the bay just beyond your front porch while writing sweeping orchestral music about the divine mystery? Pretty amazing. JS: On the graduation note, why did you choose to go back to finish your schooling with a career that was already on its way? And are you done? SS: Yes, I finished in 2009. I went back to fin-

ish what I had started, and also to feel as though school was truly behind me. It has always been a bit of a dangling carrot for me. I love academia; I love philosophy; I love going to lectures and formulating papers. It was time to finish that, though, instead of having it be a sort of tempting ‘escapehatch’ from the tumultuous world of making art and music. Music has never stopped calling me. Even though I’m very interested in so many things, and would gladly spend more time at school, the call is so strong now that I can’t refuse it. I actually tried to in the past, but I was always gently guided back to the path of music. Fish gotta swim. Sarah Slean performs at 7:30 p.m Nov. 20 at the Kelowna Community Theatre.

W CONTEST WINNER

Best xeriscape garden selected GARDENING WITH NATURE

presents

Gwen Steele

he winner of the best large garden in the Okanagan Xeriscape Association’s 2011 Xeriscape Garden Contest was Donna Cook. Donna and her husband began conversion of their front yard in 2008. It had been a very large lawn, on fast-draining sandy soil, adjacent to the road and surrounded by a circular driveway. A fence was built along the front property line to give a back drop to the garden. On the road side, a simple planting of Tiger Eyes sumac against the fence and Gro-Low sumac in front makes a stunning, seasonally changing, low maintenance display. Now established, the plants seldom need water. Tiger Eyes is nonsuckering with purplepink stems growing to about six feet tall. Feathery foliage is chartreuse in spring, bright yellow in summer and scarlet/orange in fall. Grow-Low sumac is a very drought tolerant shrub up to two feet high. It spreads by root suckers forming a dense, weed suppressing mat to eight feet wide, making it excellent for erosion control. Tiny yellow flowers bloom early in spring.

A VIEW OF Donna Cook’s award winning garden in June of this year. Red berries and male catkins persist through winter. Green leaves turn orange/red in fall. On the other side of the fence, a huge garden with meandering paths is filled with a few small trees, and many varieties of drought tolerant shrubs, perennials, ornamental grasses, and ground covers. Plants have been chosen for their low water requirements and placed to provide changing interest in all four seasons. In winter evergreens such as globe blue spruce, columnar Scotch pine, oregon grape and various varieties of juniper, yew, pine and spruce will be prominent. Twisty baby locust Lace Lady will show off its wonderful twisted branches once its leaves have fallen. Feather reed grass will retain its vertical seed

heads through winter and the blue fescues will remain blue. Ground cover early spring bloomers, candytuft and creeping phlox are evergreen as are the yuccas, lavender and creeping thymes. Seed heads of sedum Autumn Joy, Moonshine yarrow and echinacea provide winter interest and bird food. Shrubs bloom at various times and many, such as berberis, smoke bush, elderberry and ninebark varieties, have colourful foliage to provide additional interest during the growing season.

An arbour covered with Silver Lace vine provides a shady seating area for garden visitors. This garden is a joy to be in and a testament to Donna’s passion for gardening and to her love of this garden. I invite you to visit the gallery page at www.okanaganxeriscape. org to view more photos of Donna’s garden and of others that were entered in the xeriscape garden contest.

Bauer honours local store Adam Les CONTRIBUTED

“Humbling and intimidating” are the words Greg Evtushevski used to describe the top honours his Kelowna sports store, Chevy’s Source for Sports, took recently at this year’s Bauer World Sports Expo in Orlando, Florida. “To be selected as the top store by Bauer, one of the world’s leading sports icons, from all other sports retailers across the country, is an achievement that still hasn’t quite sunk in,” said Evtushevski, after returning from Bauer’s global sports expo in Florida late last month. The Expo, held annually by Bauer, previews new products launching for the upcoming year and draws attendance from around the world with resellers coming from as far away as Germany, Russia, Sweden, the United States and Canada. In addition to workshops and product demos, Bauer celebrates industry leaders with an exclusive awards banquet, honouring sports stores representing the highest standards of sales performance, progressive leadership, community involvement and the overall customer in-store experience.

GREG EVTUSHEVSKI at Chevy Source for Sports. This year, it was Chevy’s Source for Sports singled out as the best of the best. “This is something that you just never imagine winning. We’re talking about beating out every other sports store in the country. It’s the biggest thing that’s ever happened to our store and I think it may be the biggest major acknowledgment ever awarded to a sports store in the Okanagan.” Evtushevski was apologetic when asked about the official acceptance picture sent to him from Bauer. “It’s embarassing. I honestly never dreamed we’d be accepting Bauer’s top honours at a world renowned event like Bauer World, so I didn’t both-

er dressing up for it. Then they announced us as the winner, and there I am stepping up to accept the award in shorts and sandals! I had no speech, nothing. I was dumbstruck. It was absolutely amazing! A moment I’ll never forget” For Evtushevski, the award is the highest recognition of a standard for excellence that’s taken the Kelowna retailer years to build. Chevy’s Source for Sports is today considered the valley’s go-to source for the very best in expertise, value and brand name sports equipment. It’s a reputation Evtushevski is proud to have earned and one that is now officially recognized globally by the very best in the industry.

Making the most of their opportunities hasn’t been a strong suit for the Kelowna Rockets this season. And it’s a big reason the Western Hockey League club continues to be in a funk heading into Friday night’s game with the Edmonton Oil Kings at Prospera Place. The team’s power play—or relative absence of one—was the Rockets undoing on Wednesday night in a 6-4 loss to the visiting Red Deer Rebels. The Rockets (5-111-1) failed to capitalize on four straight man-advantage situations in the second period, including a lengthy 5-on-3 chance. To add insult to injury, the Rockets gave up a shorthanded goal en route to their fifth straight loss. “Games turn when you lose your intensity and that’s the frustrating part,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “I thought 5-on-5 we were pretty good. We were physical. But our power play just lacks intensity right now.” The Rockets continue to search for ways to turn the corner on what has been a difficult month of hockey—13 losses in the last 15 games. On the upside, Kelowna showed some fight Wednesday night, rebounding from a 4-1 defi-

Forward Brett Bulmer, who has seven points in three games since returning from the NHL’s Minnesota Wild, said the Rockets simply need to get back to basics. “I think we just need to work hard as a unit,” said Bulmer, who had

three assists vs Red Deer. “We need everyone every night. We need to be focussed before the game and be ready to play. We can’t be worried about the score, it’s just putting in the work. Things will turn if we keep putting in efforts like this.” In Edmonton (11-6-11), the Rockets face a fastskating team with a solid defensive corps, led by

Hochhausen bench view Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

Having to sit out games this week due to a suspension, Kelowna Minor Hockey product Shawn Hochhausen had a chance to see his teammates on the Westside Warriors from a different vantage point. Hochhausen, 19, missed a 2-1 loss to Vernon on Tuesday night and will sit out tonight’s BCHL game in Salmon Arm before getting back into the lineup Saturday when the Warriors host Penticton. He was suspended after an accidental hit from behind when he collided with a Trail player in the second period of a 3-2 overtime loss. “We were going into the boards, he slowed up and I hit him a bit early and he flew into the boards,” explained Hochhausen. Not that the Warriors needed any more bodies on the sidelines, what with five regulars out of the lineup due to injury, but Hochhausen used the time in the stands to analyze the game from above. “You see a lot more when you are watching,” said Hochhausen this week. “You see all the plays that should have been made and you can see the options. It makes rthe game look simpler.” And sometimes simrpler is better. But you might not have to tell Hochhausen that. By the sounds of his coach, the Kelowna kid is good at making the right decisions on the ice. “Shawn is a good two-way hockey player who works really hard and is good in both ends of the rink,” said Warriors coach Rylan Ferster. “He’s strong on the puck and makes good decisions. I think he’s a centreman who makes the players around him better.” This year, Hochhausen’s second with the Warriors after playing one year with the Nelson Leafs in the KIJHL, the 6-foot-1 centre is playing a shut-down role with the Warriors, skating most nights against the other team’s best players. He’s got a great shot and has had plenty of chances to score, but like a lot of Warriors recently he isn’t finding the back of the net. The team has scored just seven goals in its past five games going 0-4-0-1 over that time. It doesn’t help that injuries have sidelined five

“We have to get our guys healthy and then make the most of our scoring chances,” he said. “We have to start scoring more goals and just keep playing hard every night.” As a player now in his second year in the BCHL, Hochhausen says he is ready to step up this season. “I feel like I have a bigger role, more opportunity to do things and bigger expectations this year,” he said. Hochhausen will be back in the Warriors lineup Saturday when the Penticton Vees come to Royal LePage Place. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Warriors overtake Smokies Boxing this weekend in Peachland The Westside Warriors bantam tier 2 team jumped into first place in the Okanagan Mainline Amateur Hockey Association bantam tier 2 standings last weekend with an 8-4 win over previous league leaders the Trail Smoke Eaters.

ALPENSIA RESORT in Pyeongchang County, Sorth Korea, site of the 2018 Winter Olympics. Pyeongchang lost out in its first two attempts to play host to the Winter Olympics—to British Columbia for 2010 and to Sochi for 2014.

W ASIA

South Korea host of 2018 Winter Olympics John M. Glionna CONTRIBUTOR

PYEONGCHANG COUNTY, South Korea— I’m peering over the edge of the Olympic ski-jump platform here, hundreds of feet above ground, shuddering at the track’s suicidal 45-degree descent. It’s the end of summer, and the tower affords a commanding view of the area known as Keunteo, or the Big Land Valley, with its lushly green fir and pine trees and neatly rowed potato fields framed by several distant mountain peaks.

HOME

On this warm afternoon, the coming winter seems a lifetime away, and certainly the 2018 Winter Olympics, to be held at various venues across Pyeongchang County, seem further still. Indeed, South Korea’s first Olympic party since the Seoul summer games of 1988 is still very much a work in progress. Many of the venues, such as the bobsled course, have yet to be carved out of the surrounding hillsides. The site of the future media village mostly remains a vacant weed-strewn field. Still, one has to won-

NEWS

SPORTS

der if the Koreans can do it: Can they turn a newly built resort, set amid a middling winter wonderland terrain that wouldn’t look out of place in New York State’s Catskill Mountains, into a legitimate Olympic venue? At this point it seems nothing short of an Olympian task. After all, this ain’t the Alps. The region’s highest mountain peak is less than 6,000 feet above sea level, not much higher than the Denver skyline. Pyeongchang lost out in its first two attempts to host the winter Olympics; to Brit-

ish Columbia’s Whistler for the 2010 games and to the Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi for 2014. Now officials want to show the International Olympic Committee that they didn’t make a mistake in finally giving Pyeongchang its chance, that the third time is the charm. The heart and soul of the games will be the Alpensia resort, finished in 2009, which will serve as the Olympic Village. The landing area for the ski jump, with 30,000 spectator seats, will be the site of the opening and

closing ceremonies. Alpensia, which features Intercontinental and Holiday Inn resort hotels, was based on facilities at Whistler and will offer four-star accommodations for the visiting Olympic athletes, officials say. In all, the area offers 10,000 rooms for all budgets. Along with 1,000 at Alpensia and 3,500 at the nearby Yongpyong resort, the site of the alpine downhill and slalom events, there is a good selection of nearby condominiums, budget rooms and youth hostels. Alpensia seems some-

how manufactured. In the summer, at least, with tourist families careening around the resort grounds in rented pedal-powered scooters, Alpensia seems about as authentic as a city dude in cowboy boots. Other than a chain coffee shop and souvenir stalls, there are no restaurants outside the hotels. But the South Korean winter games will offer something previous sites haven’t: a compact environment. A high-speed train, to begin service in 2017, will whisk visitors from Seoul in 50 minutes. Most of the snow and slid-

ing venues will be within a 10-minute bus ride from Alpensia. Curling, skating and ice hockey competitions will take place a 20-minute drive away in the coastal city of Gangneung. The Big Land Valley region was the site of South Korea’s first ski resort in 1972 and is known throughout the nation for its mystical natural charm, the misty mountain views and rolling forests. The summer season features hang gliding and balloon rides. See South Korea A33

‘Don’t underestimate the Koreans’ South Korea A32 But as he walks down the steps of the Alpensia’s welcome center, French national Etienne Dorival shakes his head when asked if the resort can pull off the Olympics. “Look around you,” he says with a sigh. “There are only a few small lowaltitude slopes, nothing compared to the Alps or North America. There’s not much of a real mountain feeling. But don’t underestimate the Koreans; they’ll be ready.” Local skiers say the local mountains suit them just fine. “There are some things we lack—the mountains could be higher, we could have more snow—but this is still the best place in South Korea,” says Kim Yongwoon, mayor of a nearby village who also competed on South Korea’s 1988 Olympic biathlon team in Calgary. Kim, who has skied at resorts around the globe, said the snow is different here. “There’s less powder; it’s more humid and wet; it takes getting used to. But we’ve also got modern snow machines.” Tooling around the valley, I realize it will offer something else that’s typically Korean: a colorful local culture. It’s nearly a three-hour drive from the hubbub of Seoul, and life has a simple rural elegance. Potato farmers putter along the road in miniature tractors, past buildings with pagoda-style roofs with the mountains fas a constant backdrop. Area restaurants feature traditional Korean rfloor seating around low tables, serving such specialties as buckwheat pancakes, bulgogi (beef marinated in Korean-style sweet soy sauce) and bibimbap (rice topped with various seasoned vegetables and red hot pepper

paste). And there are sights here you probably won’t find anywhere else: The Buddhist Woljeongsa Temple, a collection of 60 temples and eight monasteries that dates to the 10th century (tinyurl. com/6asjrr2); the Bongsan Confucian Shrine; Institute of Traditional Korean Cuisine; and even the Korea Parrot School, where the winged wards ride bicycles, turn on the charm and kiss. Standing atop the 400-foot-high ski-jump platform, glad I never took up this sport, I have another thought: South Korea may just be able to pull off its first Winter Olympic Games after all—and maybe even go for gold.

ing to chronicles, a hurricane struck Bermuda. The Warwickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crew was prepped, but the moorings gave way and the ship crashed into the reefs and rocks surrounding the anchorage, one of the best inside Castle Harbour. The ship was completely lostâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;sunk with everything it still had on board. The governor of Bermuda, Capt. Nathaniel Butler, had been on board; he had a journal and wrote down events day after day. So we had very good data about the Warwickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location. Q: You werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure where it was? A: This is one large bay. Everyone knew it was thereâ&#x20AC;Śbut not exactly where the remains were. Q: Over almost 400 years, there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look what I found!â&#x20AC;? discoveries? A: People started salvaging cargo and cannons right away. Butler came to the site a year later and recovered at least three cannon and barrels of beer. The following year, five more cannon and more provisions were recovered. The cannon went to the newly constructed

Southampton port at the mouth of the harbor. The ship belonged to the Virginia and Bermuda Company, so it was sort of protected. We know Butler issued a proclamation that everything looted had to be returned, as the owners demanded. The only official salvage was by Butler. We believe some parts of the Warwick were sticking out from water, which is about 15 feet deep there. Over the years, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sure some cargo was taken from the ship, but there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much interest in salvaging. There are a lot of other shipwrecks in

TRAVEL Bermudaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a dangerous place for navigation. The Warwick wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as valuable a prize as others. Q: How was the Warwick rediscovered? A: A Bermudian discovered the site in 1967; he only recovered some artifacts and never did real archaeology on the site. Our involvement started in 2008. We learned about the Warwick while working on some other research here. We went to the Warwick site and did a survey to find out what was there. Underwater archaeology is extremely expensive. We found the preservation level of the War-

Ç¤ Ç¤ Ç¤

wickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s timbers is amazing. Lots of artifacts were still at the site. Q: Who owns it? A: At the time of the wreck, it was owned by the 2nd Earl of Warwick. Based on Bermudan law, it now belongs to Bermuda National Heritage. Q: Can you offer a status update?

A: The last day of current research was July 17. Before then, we were uncovering a large section we believe is mid-ship. We slowly and carefully removed sand and silt. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve explored the hold, where the cargo was and found shards of bottlesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; beer and wineâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and pieces of bones, mostly of

cows. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found broken barrel staves; the barrels probably had salted beef for the voyage and for the Jamestown colony. When we wrapped up the research season, we recovered the site with sand and siltâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;protection against storms and marine organisms that would eat the wood. The whole ship

W FIRST DRIVE

Buick quietly enters compact market segment Jim Robinson CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

“I think this is the quietest car I’ve ever driven,” my co-driver said. One of the most experienced autowriters on the planet, he wasn’t talking about a Rolls-Royce, a Mercedes-Benz or a Lexus, but the $22,595 Buick Verano compact sedan. The bane of auto engineers is “sizzle”, the sound the tires make on wet pavement. Because of its high-pitched hiss, sizzle is the hardest noise to keep out of the cabin. Yet there we were at 50 mpg in the pouring rain in the base Verano where the sizzle was not just faint, but non-existent. Another problem engineers face is the engine roar when you are at full throttle caused by the air going through the intake manifold. On the Verano,

the manifold looks not unlike a saxophone, and in a sense, it is. With a number of interconnected chambers, the howl of the air is tuned out. It’s part of what Buick calls QuietTuning that involves 12 noise reduction and noise cancelling measures including: 5.4-mm-thick acousticlaminated windshield and 4.85-mm-thick acoustic laminated side glass that minimizes wind noise; acoustic insulation material on both sides of the front steel dash panel and under the hood that reduce engine noise; and five layers of acoustic insulation material in the headliner, including a premium fabric on the visible outer layer that muffles wind noise. How Buick got rid of sizzle was by using three layers of acoustic insulation material in the doors. There’s a lot more

MOTORING W FIRST DRIVE

Verano in league with competition Buick from B1 this attention to noise reduction was being reserved for a top-of-theline sedan, but the 2012 Verano is, in fact, Buickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first entry into the compact car segment and thus its most affordable model. There will be four trim models starting at $22,595 topping out with the full leather model at $27,620. All are powered by a 2.4-litre, inline four-cylinder engine producing 180 hp and 171 lb/ft of torque driving the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Standard features include ribbon fabric seating, soft â&#x20AC;&#x153;ice blueâ&#x20AC;? ambient lighting, OnStar (six month free trial), StabiliTrak electronic stability control, ABS and Intelligent Brake Assist and 10 standard air bags. Automatic climate control, power windows and steering wheel radio controls are also standard. Available as an option is Buickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s IntelliLink system. It uses Bluetooth or a USB to connect a driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smartphone to the touchscreen display radio expanding current Bluetooth and USB capabilities to allow smartphone control via voice activation and steering wheel-mounted controls. In addition to Buick IntelliLink, a nine-speaker Bose sound system specifically engineered for the Veranoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interior is available on all trim levels

above the base level. At the press launch in Connecticut, Buick engineers also talked a lot about the work that went into the MacPherson Strut front and Wattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or Z-link rear suspension in relation to providing a smooth and quiet ride. The drive route started near the Lincoln Centre in the heart of Manhattan. Outside of Tokyo, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where so many car and trucks are packed into so little space. Here you have to know where all four corners of the car are and the rearview mirrors must be precisely positioned. The Veranoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compact size helped but so did the quick steering. Because you kind of move along as opposed to go forward in New York, having brakes that modulate well is a major plus and this the Verano did. Finally out on the parkway heading north the first thing my partner and I noticed was how good the new radio system was until it dawned on us the reason was also due to the lack of road noise The transmission is the new, second-generation six-speed automatic that goes a long way to improving gasoline consumption. Transport Canada has yet to release the official numbers but one source has estimated 9.3/64L/100 km city/ highway. One of the ways the transmission conserves fuel is by allowing neg-

ligible engine braking. Coming down one incline and taking a foot off the gas, the Verano actually picked up a little speed. There seems to have been as much work done on the interior as on noise. Soft touch materials abound and the two-tone earth colours are pleasing. One thing I noticed was a thin, slotted vent running vertically up the A-pillar of each front window. Instead of the air coming out of the dash, the vents pump it directly onto the window surface for almost instant demisting.

Back seat legroom is meager. With the front seat all the way back, you can barely put your hand into the space between. Cargo volume is 396 litres (14.0 cu ft) with the subwoofer installed with the optional Bose sound system or 405 litres (14.3 cu ft) without. While roomy, it means the trunk lid is high so reversing should be done gingerly as there is no backup camera available. Buick sees its immediate competition as the Acura CSX, Audi A3 and Lexus IS 250 and Ver-

ano is certainly in league with them in terms of fit, finish and ride. But considering the starting price and what the buyer gets, I think Verano throws a very wide net to Mazda3, Ford Focus and VW Jetta buyers as well. The Buick has already done much to change the perception of it as catering to older owners to vehicles such as the Regal and Enclave that are comparable to anything on the road and are definitely skewed to a younger demographic. By offering the compact 2012 Verano, Buick is literally on the road to changing how people

The ‘v’ stands for versatile with Toyota’s new Prius Lorne Drury CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

Every year, there are new words that make their way into our vocabulary. One of the latest is hybridization and it may very well have been the Toyota Motor Corp. that coined the word. Toyota started the hybrid revolution about a decade ago with the introduction of its Prius Liftback, a hybrid gas-electric car that has gone on to sell more than three million units around the world, including 23,000 in Canada. No longer just a standalone vehicle, the Prius has been turned into a family of cars with the introduction of the Prius v (pronounced vee for versatility, not five) for 2012 with more models to come in the future. While some manufacturers look to diesel and others to fully electric vehicles, Toyota sees the hybrid as the way of the future and offers more hybrids than any other automaker with eight currently in the fleet. In fact, by the 2020s, Toyota aims to have a hybrid in every segment of the market. Thus, the hybridization of the brand is continuing full bore as Toyota strives to increase its penetration in the Canadian hybrid market to more than the 60 per cent it currently holds. Although the thirdgeneration Prius Liftback

will carry on unchanged for the time being, the Prius v is clearly aimed at the family buyer. Toyota says the Prius v offers 50 per cent more cargo space behind the rear seats than the Liftback and has more cargo space than 80 per cent of the small SUVs in the market. It is classified as a crossover but one could also think of it as a åmini’ minivan as its tall roof and wagon-like rear hatch allow for lots of usable cargo and passenger space. With the rear seat at its rearmost position, there is 971 litres (34.3 cu ft) of cargo room. The 60/40 split rear seats also fold down to produce 1,905 litres (67.3 cu ft) and if you need even more room, the front passenger seat folds to handle really long items. The Prius v has seating for five adults and the rear seats actually travel fore and aft by 180 mm to add to the versatility of the design. That allows for more rear passenger legroom when needed, or, more cargo capacity when the rear seats are in the most forward position. I’ve been talking a lot here about interior capacity and versatility because that is what sets the Prius v apart from its Liftback sibling. In a demonstration, Toyota loaded both Prius models with banker’s boxes.

THE PRIUS V for 2012 is bigger in every way than the third generation Prius Liftback and is aimed at families looking for a doeverything vehicle. Prices start at $27,200 with sales starting now. CONTRIBUTED

Synthetic leather SoftTex seats in upscale trim levels Prius from B6 Otherwise, most of the Prius interior is similar to the current third-generation Liftback. The instrument panel sits mid-ship in the dash with a 6.1-inch display screen below that replaced by a seven-inch monitor in the Touring and Technology edition. The seats in the Prius v are cloth-covered in the base model, but a new synthetic leather called SoftTex is used in upscale trim levels. SoftTex weighs 50 per cent less than traditional leathers and adding to the green theme, its generation produces 99 per cent fewer volatile organic compounds. The car itself emits 66 per cent fewer smog-forming emissions than the average new vehicle and it qualifies for a Tier 2 Bin 3 emissions rating. At the heart of the Prius v is the Hybrid Synergy Drive, built around a 1.8-litre Atkinson Cycle four-cylinder engine combined with a 60 kW hightorque electric motor and a 27 kW battery. It is all controlled by a sophisticated power management system that produces 134 total horsepower and results in a best-in-class fuel economy rating of 4.6L/100 km combined. My driving partner and I managed 5.7 and 5.4L/100 km in our two combined city/highway driving routes in and around Quebec City. The system uses an electronic CVT (continuously variable transmission) that routes power to the front wheels. You can choose from four drive mode selections: normal, EV, ECO and Power.

Even with the Power mode selected, this is a sluggish car that definitely favours fuel economy over performance. Of course, most customers get into the Prius because of its green technology, and performance for them will not be an issue. But be aware that when you push the v hard, as we did on several uphill sections, the engine noise is very pronounced, in part because of the CVT transmission that causes the engine to rev very high. We found that EV (electric only) mode works up to about 40 km/h and then the gasoline engine kicks in. This produces a nice quiet ride in slow city driving. ECO mode adjusts air conditioning settings and throttle for the best fuel economy, but dials down the performance. In most cases, the normal mode seemed to be the best compromise. While the hybrid system is similar to the one on the Liftback, there have been some tweaks. One is a new exhaust heat recovery system that sends cold coolant after start-up down to the hotter exhaust piping to warm up the coolant faster so that the hybrid system can shut off its gas engine more quickly and realize fuel savings. Another new twist is a Pitch and Bounce Control System that helps reduce pitching motion in the cabin on rough roads or because of acceleration or deceleration. Here, the wheel-speed sensors sense the road input and adjust the electric motorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s torque output to reduce pitching motion. In all, it is meant to

flatten the overall ride and increases handling performance. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure I felt the system in use, but I can say the Prius v exhibited a reasonably soft, compliant ride. The Prius v doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the short shrift when it comes to safety either. Standard fare includes a full suite of safety features like stability control, traction control, anti-lock brakes, electronic brakeforce district and brake assist plus seven airbags. Competition for the Prius v comes from cars like the Mazda5, Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagon TDI, and crossovers like the Ford Escape and Honda CR-V. Priced from $27,200 to $36,875, the Prius v is pricier than most competitors, but Toyota should have no trouble selling the 4,000 units it plans to bring into Canada. The versatility, fuel economy and hybrid technology make this a vehicle appealing to buyers wanting to show off their ĂĽgreenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bent. The current generation Prius Liftback is often a second car, but the Prius v offers roominess and See Prius B9

Volkswagen brings back sporty Jetta GLI Neil Moore CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

CONTRIBUTED

FEATURES such as a unique front bumper and honeycomb grille, side skirts and 17- or 18-inch alloy wheels set the GLI apart from lesser Jetta sedans.

OK folks, enough whining about the cheaper Jetta. Sure, its base engine is no powerhouse, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a torsion beam suspension in rear (which probably means zilch to most people), not to mention rear drum brakes on lower trim levelsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;also something that would escape many buyers. More noticeable would be the abundance of hard plastic on the inside. Keep in mind, however, that VW had to pinch a few pennies here and there to drop Jettaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s base price by a whopping six grand. But to call the new Jetta a disappointment would be to ignore the competition. Corolla, Civic and Mazda3 all start under $16K, and now the same can be said of Jettaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which like the others can be optioned up as your budget allows. Which brings me to the one Jetta that should

please even the staunchest naysayersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the recentlylaunched GLI. In this new model, which starts at $27,475, all of the above gripes have been corrected. The torsion beam has been replaced by a multi-link rear suspension. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disc brakes all around, and many of the hard plastics have been upgraded to soft-touch materials. More importantly, at least to me, is its powerplant, which is the same one found in the GTI: a 2.0-litre, TSI turbocharged engine that delivers 200 hp and 207 lb/ft of torque. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of grunt for a vehicle that only weighs just over 1,400 kgâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and with peak torque on tap from a low 1,700 rpm, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no noticeable turbo lag. Which is some of what I experienced during an afternoon at Mosport International Racewayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driver development track, where Canadian See Jetta B9

Auto Journalists put the 2012 GLI to the test. It is one thing to live with a vehicle for a few daysâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;taking it on your daily commute or for a good run on the highway. It is quite another r to go to the track where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pushing it beyond where a typical driver would dare go. At least one who respects the law! t It was here where the Jetta GLI earned my respect. It does look sportier than a garden-variety Jetta, with its unique front bumper and honeycomb f grille, smoked tail lights and red brake callipers. t But appearances aside, this Jetta is truly worthy of its GLI badging. Stomp the pedal and the throttle response is brisk, as is the accelerf ation. This action delivers yet another reward, a throaty snarl, thanks to its sound actuator. t Part of the induction system, the actuator is integrated into the intake system upstream of the cylinder head. The exhaust note you get on acceleration is purely mechanical and, according to VW officials, â&#x20AC;&#x153;relies on the flow of air to create the sound, sort of like a muffler in reverse.â&#x20AC;? Needless to say, it created for me a temptation to drive less than fuel efficiently, probably putting me well off the

GLIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rating of 9.8/6.2/8.2 L/100km (city/hwy/ comb) for the manual, and 8.8/6.1/7.6 L/100km (city/ hwy/comb) for the DSG. The six-speed manual is a joy to work, with its crisp, precise shifter and light clutch. The six-speed DSG automatic with Tiptronic, which will likely account for 60 to 70 per cent of GLI sales, shifted reasonably quickly, with its double-clutch setup. I did find, however, that while in â&#x20AC;&#x153;sportâ&#x20AC;? this transmission would shift north of the redline when pressed hard. Steering is precise, and the car seems more agile at speed. Although the suspension is a bit stiff in city driving, it is poised on the track, with the GLI feeling well connected to the asphalt no matter how hard you push it. Brakes too were more than up to the task. With my driving partner and I alternating 15-minute, back-to-back shifts on the circuit, this Jetta was subjected to an hour of us continually hard on the throttle and brakes and with no noticeable fade. The big 312 mm ventilated front discs and 272 mm solid rear discs were hot enough to roast hot dogs when we were done, but the standard red painted callipers remained unblistered.

For those of us who won’t be taking the GLI to the track anytime soon, this vehicle is very easy to live with. Like all Jettas, this model has plenty of passenger room, both front and back. Driver and front passenger get a pair of deeply-bolstered sports seats, with horizontallystitched inserts and red double stitching around the perimeter. The red stitching is carried on throughout the steering wheel, shifter boot and handbrake grip. In back, the 60/40 split folding rear seats (with centre armrest and pass through) offer a surprising amount of knee room for a compact car. Standard features for the GLI include 17-inch alloy wheels; heated eightway/six-way manually adjustable seats up front; keyless entry with pushbutton start; dual-zone electronic climate control; six-speaker touch screen audio system with six-disc CD changer, media device interface and aux input; Bluetooth, multi info trip computer and more. You can upgrade the basic unit with the Luxury Leather Package (includes leather seating and

The 2012 GLI is $2,500 less than the 2009 model, but according to VW offers a $2,900 “value enhancement.” The GLI is a little pricier than the 2012 Civic Si and the 2012 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V. But unless you do a content analysis, it’s hard to know if you’re comparing apples with apples. Lancer Ralliart is a bit higher, and Subaru WRX is thousands more, but with these you get allwheel-drive.

Suffice to say that GLI pricing is in line with the competition, and for those who have slammed Jettas in general, after the price drop, keep in mind that sales are now up 164 per cent, making the Jetta a top-ten seller in Canada. Obviously, quite a few of us are buying them. Which is more good news to VW, having posted 12 consecutive “best ever” months, and moving up in Canadian market share from 2.8 to 3.3 per cent. As for the Jetta GLI, it nicely rounds out the lineup for the company’s best-selling vehicle, providing a ëhalo’ car for the model range, and giving back driving enthusiasts the Jetta they really want.

Winter driving – be aware of black ice By Kate Wells, DriveWise BC Most drivers have at some point encountered black ice. We all know the dangers and have heard the term, but what is black ice exactly? Of course, we know ice is frozen water. Black ice is just that, frozen water that appears part of the actual road so road users don’t see it. The road may look dry and clear, but in reality may be one giant sheet of ice. Black ice can also appear as harmless as a puddle and be overlooked completely! A good way to determine if there’s black ice on the road without

actually inspecting the pavement is this: If your vehicle has any ice on the mirrors or windshield, chances are there is black ice on the road! Driving Tips Now that you know what black ice is, you have the power to change your driving habits. If the weather is cold enough, just like it is now, drive with extreme caution. • Slow your speed, take extra time getting to your destination and use roads that have better service, such as those that have been sanded or salted. Take extra caution when driving over bridges or overpasses as black ice formation occurs in these places long

before it makes it on to the roads. • Learn how your brakes work. Take your vehicle to an unpopulated area to make sure you know how your car will stop on icy surfaces. Learn how to properly stop your car with ABS (if equipped) or without. • Ensure you can see by wiping off all debris on your windshield and car. Wipe away your headlights. Nothing is worse than seeing a driver with a tiny view through the windshield and the rest of the car is covered in snow and ice. Clear snow from all parts of your vehicle, including brake lights in the back. • Keep track of the more dangerous road areas and take another route if

necessary. We all know the “tough spots” we encounter every day. These are the areas that tend to be icier than others. Stay off these roads and choose another route. • If you ﬁnd yourself sliding, ease off the accelerator and NEVER BRAKE! Steer in the direction you want your vehicle to go in. Regardless of your driving skill, take extra caution during the winter months. Take a winter driving class to learn how to drive properly in these conditions. Driving simulators can simulate driving in these dangerous conditions and are offered at quality driving schools.

CMHC reports positive housing starts update

W OF PRIME INTEREST

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation reports Kelowna area housing starts increased to 73 homes in October 2011, up from 54 homes for the same month one year ago. “Semi-detached homes and townhouses led October housing starts,” noted CMHC market analyst Paul Fabri. “Builders continue to favour smaller housing projects in 2011 rather than larger apartment condominium projects. This type of project is more easily released to the market in phases.” Kamloops area housing starts were up slightly from levels recorded in October 2010. Detached home construction accounted for all Vernon and Penticton area housing starts in October. Nationally, the seasonally adjusted annual rate of total housing starts decreased to 207,600 units in October, from 208,800 units in September. In British Columbia, October’s seasonally adjusted annual rate of urban housing starts moved slightly higher to 27,800 units from 27,400 units in the previous month.

One of the most frequently asked questions mortgage brokers here is this: “Is it time to lock in my mortgage?” One of the greatest factors in that decision is what will the Bank of Canada be doing with its interest rate in the future. There is economic chaos in Greece as well as other countries in Europe, while the economy in the U.S. continues to be sluggish. And what happens in other country’s economies will impact on Canda. All indications are the

Deciding what mortgage options work best Bank of Canada will hold its interest rate for some time to come, but that is not a guarantee that interest rates will remain low. Recently, financial institutions have lowered the discounts on their closed, variable rate interest rates. As of three months ago, discounted rates were as low as prime (three per cent) minus .7 per cent for a rate of 2.30 per cent. As of Nov. 1, variable rates were in the neighbourhood of 2.8 per cent. As for fixed rate mortgages, interest rates have

been stable for the past several months. The lowest five-year fixed, closed rate mortgage as of today is 3.35 per cent, with the average being around 3.59 per cent. When you look at that in comparison to the closed, variable rates there isn’t a large rate spread between them. Although the interest rate is slightly higher, the stability of your payments for that five-year period allows you to budget over the long term with a constant payment. Again, historically rates haven’t been this low and, as the economy picks up those rates will increase.

One other positive with a closed, fixed rate mortgage is the availability to “port” the mortgage with you should you decide to sell and purchase another residence. For example, consider a mortgage of $300,000 at an interest rate of 3.59 per cent with principal and interest payments of $1,357.80 per month amortized over 30 years. Two years from now, you wish to move and purchase another home to live in. Let’s assume the interest rate at that time is five per cent. You can “port” (take the mortgage with you) the existing mortgage to the new property and keep the same terms

and conditions and save 2.59 per cent interest costs over the remaining three years. In deciding whether to take on an open mortgage, line of credit mortage or fixed rate mortgage, consider your long-term future intentions for the property.

Luxury Townhomes NOW FOR SALE

Program helps address buyer money pit fears After investing everything you have to buy your “dream home,” the last thing you need is a costly home repair. Yet statistics show in the first year of ownership almost 70 per cent of buyers will face a major repair to a home system or appliance. A new Canadian service softens the blow for buyers of resale homes by covering first year expenses on major home systems and appliances, and even certain structural repairs. Similar to popular Certified Pre-Owned Automobile programs, the Certified Pre-Owned Home Warranty gives protection and peace of mind to home buyers that choose to buy a resale home over a new one. Covered items include central heating/air conditioning systems, electrical and plumbing systems; most major appliances, as well as limited coverage on roofs, siding and foundations all for a small onetime fee. “People have come to expect warranties on everything they buy,” said Gilbert Carlson, president of UNIRISC, which has launched the service in Canada. “When you buy any home appliance it comes with a warranty. When you buy a roof, it comes with a warranty. “If you buy a new home in Ontario or British Columbia it must come

with a new home warranty. We created the Certified Pre-Owned Home Warranty because the likelihood of something going wrong with a resale home is highest.” Before being listed for sale, an approved home inspector performs an inspection on the resale home to detect any problems with appliances, systems and structure. After properly correcting any existing defects, the property is then re-inspected and designated a “Certified Pre-Owned Home.” Buyers have access to the inspection report, receiving assurance that a potential property is in top working condition and won’t be a money pit of unexpected expenses. The buyer always has the option to order their own home inspection as well. Carlson said home sellers who offer the warranty sell their property on average 15 per cent faster than similar homes without this protection, which is one of the reasons why

home warranties are popular south of the border. In California where the home warranty industry began, nine out of 10 pre-owned homes sell with a warranty. “It’s unrealistic financially for any home owner to buy an extended warranty on each appliance and home system,” Carlson said. “But for about $1 per day, a seller purchases the Certified Pre-Owned Home Warranty, which gives the home buyer repair or replacement costs on all covered appliances, systems and structure that breakdown during the first year.” In Canada, Certified Pre-Owned Home warranties are only available through UNIRISC and are underwritten by Trisura Guarantee Insurance Company. If during the warranty period something breaks, the home owner simply calls the 24-7 toll-free number for prompt courteous action. Because it brings peace of mind to the buyer, seller and real estate agent, Certified Preowned Home Warranties are fast becoming popular in Canada, Carlson added. A growing number of sellers are including home warranties to sell their home faster, and many buyers insist on receiving a home warranty when they close the sale, Carlson said.

Sustainability and Value are found at GlenValley on Clifton

t is easy to talk about sustainable value, but the proof is in the testing and buyers are noticing. GlenValley on Clifton is a development of 86 forward thinking design city homes that has achieved an EnergyStar designation. The

ing has an immediate bonus. Buyers at GlenValley with a CMHC mortgage are able to access a sustainability rebate that delivers a cheque directly to the buyer. “At GlenValley we offer something to people that they value and

mix of floor plans is combined with quality finishing materials that come standard. The careful planning has resulted in a series of real bonuses for home buyers including an ultra competitive price point and cash rebates direct to the buyer. Buyers are able to trust the “green value” at GlenValley. Each of the town homes has been individually tested by accredited independent experts. The results of the testing, including the ‘blower door’ test, show each GlenValley home has earned an Energuide

they can’t get anywhere else. We wanted to say we are sustainable and be proven sustainable,” says Pat Klassen with Points West Realty Group. The sustainability is continued in the mechanical system of each home. GlenValley offers individual geo thermal systems administered and maintained by FortisBC for each townhome. It is unique in BC and offers a set monthly heating and cooling cost. There is natural gas to each town home for the on demand hot water systems that can cut a

rating of up to 86. This qualifies GlenValley for the EnergyStar rating, the best way to guarantee an energy efficient home. Each town home has been carefully constructed for air tightness and quality of insulation. The EnergyStar rat-

hot water heating bill in half. To take advantage of the natural gas, the kitchens operate a dual fuel gas range and electric oven, plus there is a natural gas outlet on the deck for BBQ’s. “We wanted to maximize every sustainable feature without

compromising quality,” explains Klassen. “Even on the details you can’t see but make a big difference to how you enjoy your home, we’ve planned and put in the features that will make a home owner comfortable.” The sound proofing is a shining example of good planning leading to happy homeowners. The double layer walls have extra thickness in the drywall with a one inch gap and offset studs so sound does not travel between the walls. There are engineered wood flooring joists to cut down on vibration and create quiet living spaces. The finishing at GlenValley is consistent and high quality for every single home. In a drive to eliminate the dreaded process of homeowners needing to price in upgrades that add to their purchase price, GlenValley offers quality engineered hardwood, and tile flooring as standard. Full stainless steel kitchen appliance suite plus front load washer and dryer, built-in vacuum and deep two inch aluminum blinds are also standard. Klassen says it is buyers who are looking for a complete home package that have inspired this approach, “When we talk to new home buyers what they are looking for is standard high quality finishing at a decent price point.” GlenValley has the price point too, compact three storey floor plans start at $289,900 which includes a garage, second storey deck and 1265 square feet of finished living space with three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the top floor.

Holiday homes Adapt to the surrounding landscape tour to help Ballet Kelowna ‘‘ W HOME DESIGN

M�� U�� CONTRIBUTOR

“I don’t think that I could ever design something as beautiful as what’s already out there,” architect Tom Kundig says of his efforts to fit his houses to their surroundings. “We’re here to frame the landscape, to create an experience of that place, and perhaps to bring some of that experience—the intimacy, the vulnerability —inside the house.” You can see his architectural philosophy at work in “Houses 2” (Princeton Architectural Press, 248 pages), a handsome coffee-table book showcasing 17 of the award-winning architect’s projects. Each house, cabin and “rolling hut” gets its own mini-essay, and each mini-essay comes illustrated with multiple photographs, many of them taken by Benjamin Benschneider. Kundig, a partner with the Olson Kundig Architects firm in Seattle, was raised in Eastern Washington. “When you grow up in the Palouse or you spend time in the high desert,” he comments in the book, “you learn very quickly how insignificant your place in that larger landscape is. To this day, I think that influences virtually every decision I make about architecture in its context.” The photographs in “Houses 2” drive that point home. An island retreat on Lopez called “The Pierre” is a vivid example. Built into the rockiest part of its lot (hence

“Pierre,” French for “stone”), it all but blends into the landscape from certain angles. Other residences open themselves to their surroundings in startling ways. Walls and doors lift up or fold back to make indoor spaces into outdoor alcoves. Floor-to-ceiling windows make some rooms feel like glass tents. One of Kundig’s drollest indoor-outdoor flights of fancy is his “rolling hut,” designed for a former RV campground in the upper Methow Valley where permanent structures were not allowed. Kundig’s solution: Build elevated mini-cabins on wheels. Their light footprint on the site lets native grasses flourish, while their big picture windows let their inhabitants drink in the mountainscape around them. Kundig often uses industrial materials requiring little maintenance— concrete, steel—on his houses’ exteriors. That makes the sometimes rustic interiors of his buildings, with their wooden flooring and rafters, all the more surprising. All the projects pic-

But the book’s artful shots of them let you come at them from all angles, creating an illusion of immersion in them.

With Christmas is just around the corner, if you are searching for some inspiration to decorate your home, Hot Holiday Homes might provide some ideas. Hot Holiday Homes is a self-guided tour of welcoming private home in Kelowna, featuring some of the very best holiday decorating ideas you can imagine. The event is a fundraiser for Ballet Kelowna and is sponsored by Re/Max. The tours take place today (Friday) and Saturday, both days from 4 to 9 p.m. Deborah MacMillan, special events coordinator for Ballet Kelowna, is organizing Hot Holiday Homes. She says the home tours are about more than just seeing the decorations. “It is a good fundraiser for an organization that needs funds. The homes are warm and inviting and people really get some much from seeing the homes,” MacMillan said. There is a concentrated tour route to follow this year, with four homes located in the Upper Mission and two homes located in Kelowna’s downtown core. The tour has been spread to five hours on each evening to give plenty of time to see each home, plenty of time for couples, friends and groups to enjoy their tour without feeling rushed. The homes include a European country-inspired home with old world charm, a traditional home infused with modern stylings and one of Kelowna’s original heritage homes. One of the benefits of touring private homes is guests have the opportunity to see real and gracious decorating solutions designed for how people live. Proud homeowners have decorated the homes with talented local designers including Fowler Interior Design, Barbie Ross, Sticks and Stoned design Group, St. Nicholas Ave., home at Last Interiors, LBV Design Dress Décor, olive & elle, Nesbitt originals, Okanagan Dream Builders and Suzanne Petti. Each home will feature beautiful floral arrangements, wine and cocktail tastings, and snacks to sample. “It is a really nice collection of private homes,” said MacMillan. “We found people and homes through word of mouth.” The first time around, Hot Holiday Homes has high hopes for a popular response, MacMillan hopes. People are finding out about it on Facebook and Twitter, and ticket sales had really picked up as the tour dates neared. Tickets are still available online or at Art Knapp, Bylands, LBCV Designs, Dess Décor, olive & elle, Picture Perfect, Ricks’ Garden World.
