What’s building one artist’s name is degrading another’s ability to sell work. If there’s a universal message in the small-town art world, it’s that artists cannot work for free and a few are getting ready to launch a call to arms.

Capital News reporter Jennifer Smith examines the issue in today’s close-up feature.

Giving art away for free has a price Technology and fundraising donation demands are placing increased pressure on how artists and musicians are able to make a living.

hen Craig Cardiff arrives to play the Streaming Café this weekend, there won’t be a tour bus in sight.

He flies to do his tours, small stints he books in areas across the continent and Europe where he’s sparked demand for his music.

As an independent singer/songwriter, he plays, packages, sells and markets his music, and talks to his fans via social media on the side.

Along the way, he’s become a media go-to for perspective on socalled free music.

Rather than lamenting download-happy scalpers, his philosophy is to encourage the world to share his art and “support it if you like it,” suggesting the only caveat be those who opt to pay send their dollars the artist’s way, rather than let iTunes skim its profits off the top.

“Things have changed. Just as bowling alleys and horseshoe manufacturers had to roll with the times, this is how things are and it’s exciting,” he said, in a telephone interview from his Ontario home.

To his mind, he is “open-sourcing the problem of touring.” What he loses in sales, he makes up for in requests to play.

It’s a small business model for the music industry. While the bigger acts might want artists to quit giving product away without a price, there’s nothing wrong with a medium-income earning musician opting to trade direct profit for the notoriety and the touring dollars it will bring in his view.

“I think it’s a mistake to apply the big model into an independent artist’s career and then be disappointed when it doesn’t work. There’s no shame in running a great small business as an independent artist,” he said.

“Being a young artist in Kelowna, there’s not a lot of ways to make money,” he said.

“I figure, if we give it away, then if you like it, you could donate. And if you don’t, you don’t have to.

“There’s not a lot of money in CDs now anyway.”

But the theory begs the question, what if the exposure doesn’t pay off?

With freebies flooding the market, is it possible to earn a living directly off an artistic product? It’s a question that has the arts community preparing for battle as several artists resent being asked to give away art in exchange for publicity.

The Kelowna General Hospital Foundation recently released its call to artists for their Have a Heart Radiothon, asking that anyone interested in having their work juried for the chance to have their art used as that year’s thank you gift for the Foundation, submit a matted, framed piece of art, free of charge.

“A print (of the winning selection) is then provided to those who choose to donate (to KGHF) monthly and the piece of art is hung in the hospital,” said Doug Rankmore, KGHF chief executive officer.

“The artist is provided with a full value tax receipt for the value of the work, matting and framing.”

Rankmore said the foundation has received about 15 submissions per year in the first two years.

He believes the idea to conduct a juried show came out of the arts community itself, although he’s aware there are mixed feelings about it and has heard opposition to the matting and framing requirement.

“Because it’s juried, the standard expectation is that the work be presented matted and framed.

“It’s certainly not an expectation that now we be responsible for those costs…We’re providing an opportunity for exposure,” he said.

Distinguished Canadian painter Rod Charlesworth and watercolorist Bill Litman sit on the jury. But lo-

Regional District of Central Okanagan staff were able to speed up emergency operations to help those in need. “How do we know who to evacuate? That’s where GIS tools come into play,� said Richard Bruneau, information services manager with the regional district. “We can look at the area of effect, we can set up evacuation zones, we have the information about people and their addresses, so we can make contact with those people and make sure they know when they can come back.�

Additionally, the technology allowed concerned members of the public to view maps of the Trepanier region affected by fire to get a better sense of the areas in danger.

According to Bruneau, GIS has many other functions in everyday life as well. “Things like Google Earth and Google Maps have really helped (educate) people, but most people still just think about them as maps. They don’t think about information and making decisions and how you can use the spacial world in all aspects of your life.�

The Regional District will celebrate GIS technology Wednesday, Nov. 14, from noon to 4 p.m., at the Environmental Education Centre in Mission Creek Regional Park.

The open house— held on International GIS Day—is being sponsored by the National Geographic Society and will aim to educate visitors on the importance of GIS. Bruneau said another goal is to highlight advantages of taking up a career in GIS. “It’s kind of a new technology—infant compared to a lot of other technologies that are out there. I’d love to see more people take it up as a career choice.�

Representatives from the regional district, Kelowna, West Kelowna, Interior Health, Urban Systems and Ecora Resource Group will be on hand to illustrate examples of how GIS is used in various industries. “There will be some demos, some opportunity to play, some opportunity to ask questions and just sort of get exposed to what GIS is and how it’s used.� wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Low-earning artists get little from tax receipt for donated art Artists from A3 cal figurative artist Julia Trops is still incensed with the call.

Trops says she went to the foundation to express her concerns, but received no response. (For the record, Rankmore said he had not been contacted.)

So she took her battle to Facebook to try and put the breaks on a system that, in her view, demands far too much of smalltown arts communities.

From shows like this Radiothon to the non-stop requests for silent auction donations, Trops says she’s easily donated more than $50,000 worth of “free” art in the last decade; and she can ill afford to do it.

Looking at the average income of the nonprofit directors making the requests and the total value of the dollars donated, all she can do is shake her head when the free art queries come rolling in.

“It’s completely unacceptable,” she said. “No more calls to artists for free art. The best way you

Julia Trops can promote my work is by word of mouth. Buy it, hang it on your wall, tell your friends about it; but don’t ask for it for free.”

These calls to artists are damaging on multiple levels, in her view. First, it asks an artist who has not built a big name to give away needed income.

Then, it asks that the artist pay to do so as the framing and matting costs are out of pocket expenses for the donor artist.

And with the plethora of requests, the mere existence of these fundraisers also undermines the market for artists’ work. Knowing that a given artist typically donates to a given show, pa-

trons will often opt to wait for the auction and pick up a deal rather than take their business to the artist’s gallery and pay full price.

Trops believes fundraisers that generate $100,000 should be able to build paying for the items they auction off into an event budget.

When Michael Loewen served as executive director for the United Way, the organization heard similar grumblings and decided to act.

“It was actually Mel Kotler who brought us along this path,” said Loewen.

Kotler, who recently passed away, was a businessman and past chair of the United Way fundraising campaign in the Central Okanagan.

“Mel had heard that collectively our expectations of artists were getting a bit out of hand. We were asking them to donate art as if it was water.

We were asking for their contributions, we weren’t thinking about what we were asking.”

Kotler realized the practice was diluting the market for art and decided it was time for a business approach.

The charity partnered with a framing gallery, which offered its services at a discount, and then started putting minimum prices on all silent auction items and sharing the cash proceeds with the artist.

“In effect, we functioned as a gallery for them,” said Loewen, noting they received so much more art the plan bolstered funds raised as well. “There aren’t too many artists in our community who are making too much money,” he added. “To ask them to be constantly donating their work for free is great acknowledgement, but not a great deal of appreciation.”

Trops has spoken with a number of local artists and all of them told her they will be boycotting the KGH Foundation’s request.

The calls for free art issue will be raised at the next Central Okanagan

Arts Council meeting in effort to get a handle on the demands local artists are facing.

Local Instagram whizkid and longtime artist Carrie Harper couldn’t be happier. She reposted Trops’ open letter to her own Facebook account, saying it astounds her

with its brilliance.

“People asking for donations always say, the exposure will be great for you,” she said. “But after a while you get tired of starving from what you do for a living.”

Harper says she no longer gives away original work as she doesn’t be-

lieve she’s ever received any benefit from donating, short of a thank you.

“It’s kind of ironic,” she said. “We’re probably one of the lowest paid sectors in our society, so a tax receipt, even when you get it, doesn’t really do you much good.” jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Conclusion of Crown counsel’s case tugs on emotions Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Family and friends of slain teenager Ashlee Hyatt who crowded into the courthouse Thursday were visibly shaken as they endured another round of painful testimony about the teen’s last day.

Emotional lows were

initially brought up as Crown counsel Murray Kaay started to wrap up his case for a second degree murder conviction of an 18-year-old West Kelowna girl, by calling upon forensic pathologist Dr. William Currie.

Two days after Hyatt, 16, was killed outside a Peachland party, Currie

was called in to do an autopsy in which he reached the conclusion that the teen died when her body shut down from excessive blood loss.

Jurors were shown pictures of the five-centimetre deep wound to Hyatt’s neck, just above her collar bone, and told it punctured and deflated

her lung and partially severed an artery.

It wasn’t the only gash found on her body, either.

More superficial cuts to her cheek, ear and hairline area were found.

There were no cuts to her hands, although smears of blood from where she had tried to stem the flow of the nicked

artery were apparent.

Currie also determined the wounds incurred matched the blade police confiscated from the Peachland party, which took place June 2, 2010.

The emotional burden of the day became noticeably heavier, however, with Crown’s final witness.

Recently deceased Michael Baxter was Hyatt’s on-again-off-again boyfriend, and had been scheduled to testify during the trial.

He died shortly before it started, but his observations of the fatal night were recorded during the preliminary hearing, and jurors were made privy to that by mid-morning.

Baxter, who was 18 the night of the party, told a judge last year that he was friends with most of the party-goers who’d assembled at the Peachland house, including the accused.

THEY STARTED GOING AT IT. THEY WERE ROLLING AROUND ON THE GROUND, HITTING EACH OTHER AND PULLING HAIR. Michael Baxter

His view differed from many other teens who testified, as he was sober.

Baxter testified he arrived at around 7 or 8 p.m. and surmised on his arrival that everyone else had been drinking.

The host and the girl he was seeing at the time were slurring their words, the accused was “obnoxious” while Hyatt likely had been drinking “a little bit.”

The mood was light, but “changed when (the accused) started kissing guys.”

Everyone at the party had been talking about it, he said, noting he hadn’t seen it himself.

What he did see from a vantage point on the deck, however, was the accused trying to speak with her boyfriend over her alleged betrayal.

“They were waiting on the road…they were out there screaming at each other,” he said.

“Then (Hyatt) went out to get the (boyfriend)

to leave (the accused).”

The teenage drama continued to heat up, and Hyatt grabbed the boyfriend and tried to drag him away.

Her back was to the accused, but they continued to scream at each other.

Baxter then moved to the road, because things were starting to get “heated.”

Swear words were lobbed and pushes and punches started to erupt.

“They started going at it,” he said. “They were rolling around on the ground, hitting each other and pulling hair.”

Hyatt “got a couple good ones” in the (accused’s face), while he and the boyfriend stood nearby.

By his estimates, Hyatt more or less had the upper hand for the fight that lasted just a minute or so.

Then, the accused, turned the tables, he said. “(She’s) pissed off and she reaches into her purse,” he said, noting her hand emerged with a knife. “She was just holding it and saying, ‘I’ll stab you.’”

Baxter said that she nicked Hyatt’s hand, and Hyatt showed those who had gathered the wound.

“You just cut my hand, what’s wrong with you?’” he remembered her saying.

â–ź UBC OKANAGAN

Health research centre hailed

Alistair Waters

ASSISTANT EDITOR

The University of British Columbia has officially opened a new scientific research centre in the Okanagan, one that has UBCO officials predicting “game changing� breakthroughs in the treatment of heart, lung and blood vessel diseases.

The Centre for Heart, Lung and Vascular Health has already attracted highly regarded research professors and graduate students who are looking at the causes, consequences and treatments of heart, lung and blood vessel disease. “With this centre, we are exploring the challenges of finding new discoveries to combat chronic disease,� said Wes Pue, provost of UBC’s Okanagan campus. “We have the potential in the Okanagan to be a game-changer in health, prevention and care.�

Led by co-directors, associate professors Phil Ainslie and Neil Eves, the

centre is an interdisciplinary clinical research facility that is part of UBCO’s faulty of health and social development.

It combines several areas within the faculty, including laboratories run

by Ainslie and Eves.

On Thursday, Ainslie, a Canada research chair in cerebrovascular physiology, showed reporters around his laboratory where high-tech equipment is used to replicate conditions such as strokes and other cardiovascular conditions.

With machines that use pressure to draw blood from the designated parts of the body, such as the brain and the heart, as well as replicate the effects of high altitude, conditions can be monitored to give researchers a better idea of how cardiovascular, respiratory and cerebrovascular diseases affect humans and how best to prevent or treat them.

One of the machines Ainslie and the grad students working in his lab use came from NASA. He

said it is the only one of its kind in Canada. “We are doing work here that is not being done anywhere else in the country,� said Ainslie, who came to UBCO from the University of Calgary because of the opportunity to do such unique research at a smaller school in a fledgling program.

And already the work being done on heart, lung and vascular health at UBCO is catching the eye of experts in the field.

On hand for the opening of the new centre was Jerry Dempsey, a renowned Canadian professor of medicine and physiology at the University of Wisconsin, who was invited to officially open the UBCO centre.

He said he was impressed with what he saw and admitted he was also a little surprised to see it happening at a small school in a smaller city in Interior B.C. But Dempsey said, given the calibre of the people running the centre, he had no doubt it will at-

tract other high-calibre researchers from around the globe in the coming years. “It’s all about the people,� said Dempsey, who praised the UBCO program for developing what he called the “muchneeded� strong scientific base to help enhance the notion of health through lifestyle. “There’s been lots of theoretic arguments supporting that but up until now we haven’t had that scientific base we need.�

With construction of a the new heart and surgical centre at KGH underway and an aging population here that is more likely to suffer from cardiovascular problems in future, the new UBCO centre appears to be the right idea at the right time, in the right place.

The centre plans to establish networks with Interior Health, provincial, national and international scientists and other centres focused on heart, lung and vascular health research as it grows.

NEWS ▼ SMART METERS

BCUC told to stop proposal Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

More than 150 people crowded into the Nicola boardroom in Best Western Wednesday afternoon to hear fellow residents speak to the British Columbia Utilities Commission about FortisBC’s proposed Advanced Metering Infrastructure project.

The commission—an independent regulatory agency of the province that operates under the Utilities Commission Act—held two community input sessions Thursday from 3 to 5 p.m. and 6 to 9 p.m.

One by one, Kelowna residents expressed their concerns over the Advanced Metering Infrastructure project, commonly referred to as smart meters.

“I’m confident that if this commission examines the facts as I have done, you will agree that, at this point in time, there is overwhelming, irrefutable, documented evidence to justify a moratorium on (advanced) meters,” Marty Enns told the commission.

Carol Kergan said she was frustrated that customers have no control over the installation of the meters other than to turn their power off completely.

“I can choose to have a wireless computer; I can choose to have a wireless cell phone; I can choose to have portable phones in my home. I can also choose to

unplug those things,” said Kergan.

“This has been pushed on people who are saying they don’t want it. They’ve been told that basically they’ll be re-educated to accept them or you can unplug your power system.”

Kergan noted long-term implications from the technology are not yet known and could be irreversible by the time they are discovered.

Jerry Flynn has an extensive military background, specifically in the field of electronic warfare.

“I’ve studied this particular situation now for the last two years; while I’m not an expert I certainly know quite a bit about it,” said Flynn.

Flynn used his time at the microphone to list dangers and unknown elements associated with the proposed meters.

If FortisBC’s application for the project is approved, meter exchanges will begin in 2014 and be completed in 2015.

On its website the company states the new meters would provide a number of advantages: Saving customers money, providing more information and options, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preventing electricity theft. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

BUSINESS

Canada’s top angel investment group lands in Kelowna The VA Angels, one of the leading entrepreneur investment groups in Canada, is opening a chapter in Kelowna.

The group’s new chapter here opened this week and its first business forum is set for Nov. 15.

“Kelowna and the Okanagan is fast becoming one of the next big business centres in Western Canada with the addition of new universities, colleges and incubators and given this activity a centre for entrepreneur-

ship,” said Randy Thompson, VA Angels founder and chief executive officer.

“In addition to the capital growth of the region, there is an above average number of angel investors, former business owners and retired professionals looking to continue to diversify their investments, which is why Kelowna is an ideal location for a VA Angels chapter.”

Kelowna Mayor Walter welcomed the arrival of the VA Angels chapter

as reflective of the technology industry growth in the city.

“The news of the expansion of VA Angels in the Kelowna market is welcome and timely as it will, no doubt, bring innovative technological ideas and investors together for mutual benefit,” he said.

VA Angels is one of the most active investor groups in the country, recently chosen by the Har-

cessful enterprises in the fields of newspaper publishing, television and radio, recording artist management, retail, advertising and marketing, and the Internet.

“We are looking forward to being part of the local tech and business community and helping to benefit a new generation of entrepreneurs,” Lennon said.

“By engaging with VA

Angels Kelowna, participants in the Okanagan will now have access to other angel groups across the U.S. and Canada.”

“MNP is proud to sponsor this new Okanagan Chapter for Venture Angels,” said MNP LLP spokesperson Karen Christiansen.

Different values applied to certified foods

To the editor: I have worked as a senior organic inspector for over 20 years so let me address some of the issues about organic certification outlined in an Oct. 11 letter to the editor of the Capital News. (Organic Food Criticism Needs Scientific Backing.)

Answering three key questions: 1. Can organic certification be trusted? Yes. 2. Is Chinese organic (certification) meeting consumer expectations? No, not yet.

3. Do all organic certifying bodies follow the same standards? Yes, but…

Organic certification is the gold standard of agri-food production around the world and at three per cent of total food sales, is still worth $60 billion and growing at seven per cent a year.

It deserves a premium over local or natural because it provides food with superior perceived and actual benefits.

The same cannot be said for industrial food with its regular recalls, food-caused illnesses and consumer

Cheerful memories can’t disguise outrage of war

U

p until this week, nothing left me feeling more conflicted than pinning a poppy to my lapel.

It’s nothing to do with faltering respect for the men and women who fought for this country. It’s just that the poppy heralds Remembrance Day—an occasion that has increasingly become a bit too rah-rah-rah, when it should be more In-Flanders-Field, for lack of a better way to describe it.

Like many my age, much of my understanding of war comes from members of a generation that’s fading into history.

My granddad and grandmother both served in the Army—being Eng-

lish, I don’t think they were given much choice—and the scars of those years were still more than apparent over 20 years ago, when I saw them last.

In part, because Kathy they lived in Coventry.

Michaels As anyone who’s been there knows, the damage of war is woven into that local culture.

Nov. 14 1940, the Nazis aimed to take out the growing industrial capabilities of the midlands.

Under the cloak of night their bombers demolished thousands of homes, a couple of hospitals and, as the city burned, Coventry Cathedral was cracked open.

As the next day dawned, a decision

KATHARTIC

was made to rebuild the church with ruins intact.

In particular, two medieval roof timbers had fallen into the shape of the cross, and they were later placed on an altar of rubble with the words “Father Forgive” inscribed on the sanctuary wall.

As a child who was regularly making the trip there from green, pristine and nearly wild B.C., the sight was wholly enthralling.

I’d pester my granddad non-stop for information on what he did during the war. Where, for example, was he when those bombs fell?

Did he shoot people? Did he hate Germans?

He diverted me through benign half-truths and told me instead about how much he hated Margaret Thatcher.

Also interesting.

That said, as I got older and continued on with my prodding, I came to realize that memories of those years weren’t benign. My grandmother, I learned, had some form of mental illness from her time in the war. Relatives have since decided it’s post traumatic stress disorder, but a diagnosis decades after the fact isn’t exactly helpful.

My granddad had survived, but carried a heavy burden of loss and sadness that he passed on to his children.

And others fared worse. Men and women I didn’t really notice when I was a kid getting jacked up on sweets, crisps and the sight of broken down churches started coming out of the shadows as I got older.

With a little explanation from my mum, I was able to see there was a

Trade deal with China not good for Canadians To the editor: I am writing this to create awareness as a concerned citizen of the repercussions of the FIPA agreement.

(CanadaChina investment treaty.)

I am strongly against the FIPA deal and believe we—Canadian citizens— have a say in issues that

directly impact our country.

The fact that the government is not bringing this issue to vote or open to the public’s attention is extremely worrisome.

I thought we lived in a democratic society but this kind of action and behaviour from our govern-

ment is proving to be a dictatorship.

It is astonishing to me that the people the citizens of Canada have elected to be in power would agree to such an action that could and probably would leave Canada’s natural resources devastated and completely depleted.

Just because the land possesses such powerful resources doesn’t mean we need to exploit it. There are other solutions to energy production that have much less damaging effects to the environment in which we live.

It’s time for Canada to be progressive and on the

front lines of clean, renewable energy sources. This land offers much diversity and her people should be respectful, responsible, and eager to investigate positive footprints to leave on this beautiful place.

MPs toe the line while corporations have their way say on the Enbridge Pipeline Proposal, other than to ask me “How did you get here?”

short term.)

PM Harper must keep a tight ship, for it appears that no Conservative Member of Parliament will speak up against a party bill. Their last omnibus Bill 38 encompassed over 700 resolutions, many affecting Canadians’ rights and freedom of speech and especially those concerning food safety and northern pipeline proposals. How could a Member of Parliament possibly know

the nature of such a huge number of proposed laws?

Or are they taking the approach of keeping their heads in the sand, like so many other Canadians?

Now they have given us another omnibus Bill 45 without any public input, and FIPA (China foreign investment agreement). How will Chinese investment affect our food safety and the Canadian environment? Remember, China is not a democratic country.

While Richard Drinnan calls for government to upgrade their public policies to protect Canadians, I would add that Canadians need to stand up (or at least take notice of what is happening ) to the degradation of democracy in this country and to voice their concerns.

Use pen, protests, personal contact with your Member of Parliament, and your vote.

Poppy Seed

China, Deborah Kota, Dec. 14, 2011, bostonglobe.com • Questions remain about organic foods grown in China, Jan. 7. 2012, seattletimes. com.

All organic certification bodies (CBs) follow similar production guides and materials lists. But how national programs are supported depends on the country, as we have seen with China.

Some CBs are just for profit, focus on mega corporations for the export market and are at the organic-as-industry extreme of the organic community. They push the limits for money until consumer groups complain and governments step in and some serious en-

This week, however, I wasn’t able to and it may have been the best thing I’ve ever done.

I interviewed a Kelowna man by the name of Tom Morimoto. The now 94-year-old was the only Japanese Canadian on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, and his tale is nothing short of jaw-dropping.

But, his placement in history isn’t something he thumped his chest about.

In fact, he took on a familiar evasive tone when I asked him questions about the invasion.

What he did answer frankly, however, was my question about why the occasion has become almost celebratory.

He explained, simply, that those who didn’t live through that time may never understand what soldiers endured when they enlisted. More importantly, however, as time has edged along, the dreams and memories that haunted them haven’t gone away. But one can’t move forward when they wallow in the horrors of the time.

With some simple insights, Mr. Morimoto reconfigured my view in a way I’ll be forever grateful for and when I pin on my poppy in years to

I avoid the certifiers who do the biggest corporate organic players.

The three steps to help prevent onset of type 2 diabetes Linda Boyd CONTRIBUTOR

Chances are you know someone with type 2 diabetes. That someone may even be you.

Currently more than

2.7 million Canadians have type 2 diabetes.

Genetics and lifestyle play a large role in the development of this serious health condition.

Diabetes increases your risk of heart disease,

kidney failure, blindness, nerve damage and even erectile dysfunction.

Making a few lifestyle changes can dramatically lower the chances of developing type 2 diabetes.

Take these three im-

Don’t let the flu bug you.

portant steps to reduce your risk.

Get moving. Aim for 30 minutes of activity a day. Getting active doesn’t have to mean starting an exercise class or joining a gym.

Choose activities that you enjoy or ones that you can do as a family —rake leaves, walk your kids to school, go for a bike ride after supper, or dance the night away.

Maintain a healthy weight. Extra weight around the belly area is a risk factor for diabetes.

Even a modest amount of weight loss can reduce your risk. Speak with your health care professional about a healthy weight loss goal and ways

to achieve it.

Eat well. Have foods from at least three of the four food groups at each meal.

Fill half your plate at supper with vegetables, a quarter with a protein (from the meat and alternatives group) and the other quarter with a starch (from the grain products group). Drink lowfat milk and choose lowfat yogurt or cheese. Keep your portions reasonable and go easy on high-fat spreads, dips and sauces.

Aim for two servings of fish each week and choose low fat meats like extra lean beef, turkey, and skinless chicken.

Try cooking with beans, lentils and tofu.

These meat alternatives are inexpensive and have many health benefits.

Lastly, cut out sugary drinks like soda. Sugary drinks provide extra calories and do not fill you up.

For more great tips check out Eating Well with Canada’s Food Guide at www.hc-sc. gc.ca/fn-an/food-guidealiment/index-eng.php.

It is a great resource and it’s available online or at your local health unit.

Eating healthy does require some basic cooking skills. If you would like to learn how to cook healthy, budget-friendly meals consider participating in a Food Skills for Families program.

Food Skills for Families is a free hands-on program that makes healthy eating, shopping and cooking easy, quick and fun.

To find out if there is a program near you, check with your local friendship centre, community centre, or other organizations that offer programs for parents or seniors. For more information visit www.foodskillsforfamilies.ca or call the Canadian Diabetes Association at 1-800-6656526 ext. 248.

Customers will find more information and answers to questions they might have about the Regional District Water Main Flushing Program on the Water Systems webpage www.regionaldistrict.com/water.

Also during November, RDCO staff will be doing maintenance work on fire hydrants in the Killiney Beach and Westshore water system areas.

Customers on these two systems may experience minor short-term water quality and pressure changes while this hydrant work is underway.

As with overall system flushing, running the cold water tap will remove any discolouration.

ENTERTAINMENT Architectural influences in Prince’s installation art work Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Richard Price says he likes the three dimensionality of sculpture, that “it lives in our space and our time.”

If this is a predictable explanation for a life-long sculptor then it’s matched by an almost unbelievably predictable path to his extraordinary career.

Through the intersection of the right time, opportunities and people, he’s managed to find one of the more unusual windows on the world, jump right in and, recently, start building showcases for others’ to draw their own reasonably unreasonable conclusions.

“This napkin is an object. It has a story. So we know it’s been recycled.

Big deal. What we’re attracted to is objects that tell a story,” he said this

week at the Kelowna Art Gallery where he and gallery curator Liz Wylie, who curated his exhibition which opens today, were assembling the pieces.

Telling stories (with digressions) is an inspirational showcase of unique objects designed to spur its audience to consider the world behind each piece, the tangled plot-lines the sculptures might yield and, ultimately, the stories of their creator.

There’s a good dab of Prince and his family in these utilitarian-looking works. With an air of architectural mockup suggesting his early modelbuilding business—“once you have a skill, you should use it”—and a fair hint at the days of jars and jacks and marbles—his mother was a canner— one can see the boy who grew up in the 1950s, dis-

template an army greenbox on wheels entitled the Storyteller’s Cart.

Beginning with a replica sewing machine when he was four or five years old, Prince has spent his life making things and says that he was drawn to sculpture as a means of exercising the ideas and themes that sha-

S ANTA

ke his brain to life, ruminations on the history he loves to read, a tool to disquieting boredom on cottage vacations.

“The palpability of it and its implied tactility are very compelling,” he said after admitting to a stint with photography, probably unavoidable for an artist of his generation

in Vancouver.

He chose art class in Grade 8 to following a friend who is now a successful set designer, and got a degree in art history because his crowd discovered and was inspired by art en route to the usual professional route.

Lord Byng High School, where he attended, produced a number of artists, including celebrated photographer Stan Douglas, six years his junior, and he had planned to become an architect and avoid the teaching career he wound up with as his father was a high school shop teacher.

Nevertheless, lecturing for UBC and enjoying a studio in an old fire hall, no doubt rife with stories he’s never heard, he’s learned that people

H OLIDAY F AIR

tend to learn from the tales we tell one another.

Prince is known for his landscapes, so it is slightly ironic that he should bring his sculptural storytelling odyssey to KAG in a year dominated by landscape shows. But one can certainly see the landscape of a life and career in this show.

From the canoe carved out of driftwood at an old family haunt to the stone column given to him by a developer friend demolishing a house, then removed from his own house to his studio because it could tip and hurt a child, this is a collecti- j on of built on squirrelled snippets of a life.

No news in Van Morrison title VAN MORRISON: BORN TO SING, NO PLAN B (EMI) From the title of this new studio album, Van Morrison leaves no doubt as to his role in life even though at his age, in his late 60s, Morrison is making this mission statement rather late.

That title is more like an argument a teen may make to a scolding parent who wanted their brat to go to college but not so oddly, Born To Sing sounds as fresh as ever and this new disc owes more to early work like Moondance.

There is a small combo here with three understated horns and live-off-the-studio-floor recordings with elegant jazz/pop/folk not unlike the cake that was baked into Moondance.

Born To Sing, No Plan B doesn’t have the chart quaking hit singles of past classics of the early 1970s but this new album is a very satisfying listen nonetheless.

There are 10 tracks here where Morrison

SOUNDING OFF

Bruce Mitchell plays a variety of instruments like acoustic guitar, sax and piano to front his ace session players and again, the tenor of the sessions are in the same groove as those comfy sessions of yesteryear.

Morrison is also quite expansive with some extended bluesy jams like the eight-minute Going Down To Monte Carlo, where he name drops philosopher Sartre and his famous line “hell is other people.”

Morrison is in superb form here as a vocalist and he gets a tad cranky on the anti-materialism and anti-capitalism songs End Of The Rainbow (spoiler alert—there is no pot of gold) and Educating Archie (yes to a Mr. Bunker) and the deleteri-

ous affects of propaganda infotainment as in Fox News.

My fave picks that standout include the John Lee Hooker-inspired roots blues of Pagan Heart and the sanguine Close Enough To Jazz where Morrison encourages his listeners to “be glad with all you have, never give in to worry.”

The lead off song, Open The Door To Your Heart, harkens back to Caravan and its amiable refrains where the older, wiser Morrison tells his listeners “quit crying in your beer.”

Born To Sing, No Plan B offers plenty of solos from three different horns, piano and guitar that rounds out this strong disc that is sure to please long standing fans.

LITTLE BIG TOWN: TORNADO (CAPITOL/EMI) This fifth studio album from the neo-traditionalist country band Little Big Town will solidly crystallize the group as major stars on the music scene

now that this disc has hit No.1 on the country charts and, more importantly, No.2 on the Billboard mainstream charts.

Tornado is Little Big Town’s major crossover album that will see them have hits and sales just like Lady Antebellum on the pop charts while still maintaining their country core.

Meanwhile, many reviewers have noticed how much this new album reminds them of Fleetwood Mac of the ’70s with angelic harmonies, tight pop constructs and likeable party songs.

The breezy song Leaving In Your Eyes even sounds like a Fleetwood Mac outtake while the topic of alienated affections, explored so widely by F. Mac (every See Mitchell A18

SKYFALL 007: SOUNDTRACK (SONY CLASSICAL) Some reviewers are saying that Skyfall is the best Bond flick of all time but it would be hard to convince a 12-year-old me in 1964 that anything could surpass Goldfinger.

I guess it comes down to zeitgeist and stage of life in a certain way but there is no doubt that 007/ Bond movies are always highlighted by the music and especially the main theme song.

The big hit for Skyfall is the Adele hit of the same name but be cautious in buying this Official Motion Picture Soundtrack as in very small print on the back liner there are the words: “This album does not contain a recording by the artist Adele.�

So if you are looking for her new song, it has

been released as a single or downloadable track.

However, Skyfall is also the most travelled plot in Bond history with its globe-trotting settings. Hence the incidental music on this lengthy 30-track CD with titles such as Grand Bazaar Istanbul, Shanghai Drive, Granborough Road, Welcome To Scotland and The Moors.

The amazingly prolific composer Thomas Newman (a cousin to bespectacled singer/writer Randy Newman) has another winner here that stands up to past glorious soundtracks such as The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, The Help and Iron Lady, his most recent three.

Fans of all things Bond will want to check out this polyglot soundtrack while others will just hear cinematic backdrop and wonder where

the visuals are.

MUSICAL NOTE: It seems Bruce Springsteen music will always be confused for its messaging.

So many politicos have used his anthem Born In The USA as an arena intro song not realizing it is a pointed tune criticizing America for its unfortunate, misguided involvement in Vietnam.

A couple of nights ago Obama used Springsteen’s We Take Care Of Our Own as the music after his acceptance speech maybe not realizing the song is a sardonic jibe towards the one per centre billionaire Republicans—or maybe Obama is even smarter than we know.

HE BRINGS A RESPECTFUL WAY TO THE LOCKER ROOM AND THE FIELD THAT IS INFECTIOUS. YOU CAN SEE YOUNGER PLAYERS NOTICE IT EVEN IF THEY ARE UNAWARE OF IT COMPLETELY. HE IS A REAL ROLE MODEL ON HOW YOU SHOULD CARRY YOURSELF AND RESPECT YOUR OPPONENT. Jay Christensen, Sun general manager

And now, fifth year receiver Ben White has been honoured for his goodwill over the years in a Sun uniform.

The Canadian Junior Football League will award White the 2012 Past Commissioners Community Service Award, given annually to an outstanding young man playing football for a CJFL team as well as contributing to his community.

CJFL Life Member Ron White will present White with the award at the Banquet of Champions tonight (Friday) in Langley.

“Ben is such a solid player. His speed and hands are both exceptional,” said Okanagan Sun general manager Jay Christensen.

“But the thing with Ben is he is such an exceptional person. He brings a respectful way to the locker room and the field that

seasons White has been a key member of the Sun offence with 51 receptions for 1,389 yards and nine touchdowns. The soft spoken White has been a leader among the receivers and has been named the team’s most sportsmanlike player both of the past two seasons.

But it is his off field work that has really stood out.

Twice this past year the OKM graduate travelled to Haiti to help to explore ways he might be of help, working with a Canadian group to help rebuild a camp for youth leaders and mentors at a place called Camp Mahanaim at Les Cayes, Haiti.

He has helped raise over $50,000 to help the nation of Haiti and is planning to take a group of family and friends to Haiti in the spring.

For the past several years he has also helped out

White is also a youth leader at the New Life Church in Kelowna.

“All our players I think understand the aspect of community involvement

but every once in a while one comes along who understands the importance of it, and knows why giving back to charities is just the right thing to do That’s Ben. You know he will do great things someday in this area because he cares about others,” said Christensen.

White will receive the award on Friday night as part of the Canadian Junior Football League championship weekend.

The 2012 Canadian Bowl will kick-off on Saturday in Langley as the Rams host the Saskatoon Hilltops at McLeod Stadium at 1 p.m.

With wins over the Canadian Hockey League’s No. 1 team and the defending WHL champs in the span of a week, the Kelowna Rockets have ample reason to feel good about their game these days.

Still, as happy as Ryan Huska is with his team’s recent successes, the Rockets’ head coach said there’s plenty of room for progress.

“We’re pleased, but we still have a long way to go,” said Huska. “The challenge for us is to make sure we’re getting better everyday.

“I think you play a little freer when you’re feeling good about your game, but at the same time there’s a fine line between being confident and being arrogant,” Huska added.

“We need to keep things in perspective, and look at every day as a chance to improve.”

The Rockets (11-61-1) will look to run their winning streak to five games Friday when they close out a four-game home stand against the Red Deer Rebels.

Face off at Prospera Place is 7:05 p.m.

On Wednesday at Prospera, the Rockets knocked off the Edmonton Oil Kings 3-2 for their fourth win in a row.

Jackson Whistle was steady in the Rockets goal blocking 25 shots for his

fourth victory of the season. Whistle, 17, has a 1.07 goals against average in five appearances.

While the win over the defending champs wasn’t perfect, Huska said his club battled through some inconsistency to register the two points.

“I don’t think we were as good as our last couple of games at home (3-0 over Kamloops and 5-0 over Prince George), but what I liked is when when we got into trouble, we recovered well. The guys were defending well with their sticks and deflecting pucks away to prevent scoring chances.”

The Rockets have enjoyed their recent run of prosperity largely without production from their top line. Myles Bell, Colton Sissons and Dylen McKinlay have combined for just four points in last five games.

“We’re getting secondary scoring, our so-called third and fourth lines are coming through for us, and we need that to have success,” Huska said.

“Colton’s line hasn’t been as effective, they need to get moving their feet and pressuring pucks more.

We know they’ll be back playing like they’re capable of.”

Following Friday’s home date with Red Deer, the Rockets head to TriCity Nov. 16 and 17 for two games with the Americans. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

With the West Kelowna Warriors entering the B.C. Hockey League weekend with several key players out of the lineup, there is one player who will be there, providing scoring, leadership and anything else the team needs to snap out of a mini, two-game losing skid.

Now in his third full season with the Warriors, 20-year-old veteran Brett McKinnon has developed into a top, two-way forward in the BCHL and a player counted on in all situations for the Warriors, who sit at 8-5-0-5 and in third place in the BCHL Interior.

“Brett is a 200-foot player,” said Warriors’ coach Rylan Ferster. “He plays hard in both ends of the rink. He plays the

game the right way. He’s one of the best skaters in the league and he’s a very important player for us.”

A Kelowna native, McKinnon moved to town when he was 10-yearsold and played the majority of his minor hockey in Kelowna, including winning a provincial championship in bantam. After a year in junior B, McKinnon joined the Warriors full time in 201011, posting 23 points in his rookie season and 21 points last year.

But as a 20-year-old, he appears to have hit his stride, thanks to a solid work ethic and some nice hands.

“I definitely have a bigger role this year than I have had in the previous years,” he said. “You are more accountable for the way the team plays. It’s a lot more fun to be one of the guys counted on.”

West Kelowna...

McKinnon has put up a point per game so far this season, with six goals and nine assists in 15 games played. With captain Max French injured, McKinnon has also been wearing the C as the team’s interim captain and has been a key leader for the club this year.

The 5-foot-11 left winger points to former Warriors’ captain Alex Grieve as a player he learned a lot from when he was a rookie.

“In my first year I was just a young guy and Alex was an unreal captain,” said McKinnon. “Every day he showed up ready to go and set the standard for everyone. You want to show the younger guys what you have to do at this level to win. I think we have a great group of leaders on the team. There are a bunch of older guys on the squad and they all

Mt. Bou Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Court Okanagan MVP

With an unbeaten 6-0 record, it was an unprecedented regular season for the Mt. Boucherie high school football program.

The Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; success on the field was also reflected in the Okanagan AAA Conference awards announced this week.

Mt. Boucherie players claimed three major awards, led by slotback Joe Court who was named the conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most valuable player. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expecting this,â&#x20AC;? Court said of the award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess all the hard work in the off-season paid off. There are a lot of really good players on our team and a lot of other guys could have won this, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big honour.â&#x20AC;?

The 5-foot-10 1/2, 180-pound Court, who also ran some plays at quarterback, had 15 carries for 241 yards and two rushing touchdownsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;including a 92-yarderâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and added seven catches for 105 yards and two majors in conference play.

A shoulder injury early in the season forced the Bears coaching staff to shift Court from quarter-

With his heart, skill and strength, Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offensive coordinator Rick Nelson said Court would be a huge asset to any team, regardless of his place on the field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year a player steps up and becomes the go-to-guy, the player that leads the team to battle and to victory,â&#x20AC;? said Nelson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joe has been that player this year, leading the team on and off the field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only has he led by his on field heroics at slot back, but he has done a great job mentoring our younger quarterbacks as well. Not once did I ever hear him complain about

not playing Q.B., a great team player.â&#x20AC;?

Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; receiver Peter Briker was named the Okanaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outstanding offensive player, while linebacker Curtis Urlacher was awarded top defensive player honours.

Briker caught 16 passes for 268 yards and six touchdowns, while adding 266 yards and two touchdowns on kick off and punt returns.

The 6-foot-1, 205-pound Urlacher had 26 tackles, four sacks and three fumble recoveries.

The Bears also placed seven players on the conference all-star team.

On offense, quarterback Josiah Joseph, running back Ronnie De

The Warriors are in the midst of a six game home stand that started last weekend with a pair of losses and the team will be looking to get back on track this weekend as they will host Victoria tonight

(Friday) and Salmon Arm on Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a key weekend for us,â&#x20AC;? said McKinnon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re missing a few guys and after last weekend guys arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happy.

THE OKANAGAN MISSION Huskies claimed the AA valley soccer championship after a perfect season and will now head to soccerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provincials.

The Okanagan Mission senior boys soccer team is off to provincials after continuing a historic season by winning the Okanagan Valley AA high school soccer championship.

The OKM senior boys won the valley championship and one of the oldest soccer trophys in the Okanagan, the championship cup that dates back to the 1930â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

The Huskies completed an unbeaten season, outscoring its opponents 103-13, and dominating the AA Okanagan Valley league.

OKM represented the local school district in a six team Valley Championship last weekend in a three team pool with Wvestsyde out of Kamloops and Kalamalka.

They won both games to progress to the semi finals, scoring 11 goals and allowing just one against.

In the semi final the Huskies were matched with Sa-Hali from Kamloops who had won both the valleys and provincials two years ago. The teams were very well matched and it was a very close game with both teams trying to find a weakness to exploit.

With 20 minutes gone in the first half OKM captain Andy Stevenson started and finished an excellent move to put OKM in front 1-0. Sa Hali pressed

hard for the equalizer and just before half time a moment of brilliance from their midfielder Brodie Osborne tied the game at 1-1.

In the second half the Huskies piled on the pressure and came close

a number of times. With only 15 minutes remaining Wagner was brought down in the penalty area and Mackenzie Rigg stepped forward to fire the Huskies into the lead, Ben Mcdonald later scored a third to put the Huskies

into the final with a 3-1 win and advancing the team into the valley final against Summerland.

Summerland had recently pushed the Huskies very hard in a BC open tournament with the final being forced to a penal-

Avoiding life’s negative twists H

ave you ever wondered if there were some simple steps you could take to feel happier?

Did you wish there was some good advice out there to help you get past the negative feelings that can hold you back?

A new course designed with some of these simple yet important things in mind is coming to Kelowna next week.

Living Life to the Full is an eight-week program that started in the UK and is now being run by the Canadian Mental Health Association here in Canada.

Based on classic cognitive behaviour therapy, the program helps people identify five areas affecting mental health: thoughts, feelings, phys-

ical symptoms, behaviours, activities and the environment in which we live. Next comes practical ways to effect change.

Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) is known to be effective for those dealing with many mental health symptoms including depression, phobias, panic attacks, eating disorders, obsessions and anxiety.

But the skills used within CBT are also useful for the general public —who couldn’t use a little extra insight into why we feel the way we do?

This form of therapy is also very effective for other every day problems such as sleeplessness, inactivity, excessive worry or lack of confidence.

Living Life to the Full has been proven effective in four randomized, controlled studies.

A pilot program run in Canada also proved very successful with 85 percent of participants rating the course as useful to very useful and 91 percent saying they would recommend it to family

EARN REWARDS IN NO TIME with the NEW Pharmasave Rewards Program!

The Canadian Mental Health Association has launched a new website this week called My New Head (www.mynewhead. com).

The purpose of the website is to focus on helping Canadians of all ages improve their mental fitness. But the benefits don’t end there, as a bonus for signing up, participants will receive 20 Air Miles reward miles.

“There can be ‘no health without mental health’ and there is no greater investment than the investment one can make in sustaining and building mental health throughout one’s life,” said Peter Coleridge, national chief executive officer of the CMHA. “We are truly excited to launch this new and innovative mental health website designed to help Canadians learn about and improve their mental fitness.

“We encourage all Canadians to visit the website, work their way through the various tasks and challenges.”

The initiative has the support of both the Air Miles program and Healthy Minds Canada and earn 20 AIR MILES

reward miles while doing so.”

“We will be able to reach out and help improve the mental fitness of millions of Canadians through this innovative and engaging new website,” said Jean Milligan, executive director of Healthy Minds Canada.

My New Head will give users free online access to a non-diagnostic tool and practical, highly interactive and fun content that has been specifically designed to help users of all ages learn about and improve their mental fitness.

Those wishing to participate are asked to signup and answer a few brief survey questions that are centered on four key subject areas: Mind, body, self and life.

Based on one’s individual answers, customized content is generated that participants can complete at their own pace from reading, watching and listening to various mental health focused pieces.

Participants are then asked to make their way through various fun selfmonitoring challenges.

and friends.

Broken into eight 90-minute sessions, the course deals with a different topic each week and participants plan for how they will handle that situation between sessions.

At each class, the previous week’s plan is reviewed and lessons gleaned for going forward.

I think this program has some excellent skills to teach to just about anyone and could be especially helpful for those looking to make a positive change in their lives.

While this kind of life skills training may not be all that is needed in cases of serious mental illness, it can certainly be a great place to start or a complimentary tactic in addition to medical help when necessary.

Living Life to the Full began in Kelowna on Nov. 5 at Okanagan College. It runs Monday evenings for eight weeks from 6:30 to 8 p.m. and the cost is $190.

Space is still available.

cial Change has been driving social change across Canada by inspiring and rewarding healthy behavior shifts on a mass scale,” said Angela Brown, general manager of the program.

“Earlier this year a successful pilot with the CMHA showed us that our collectors want to learn how to better manage their mental fitness.

“Now we are growing our partnership further with CMHA, this time reaching out to a national audience to encourage and reward all Canadians for taking steps to pro-actively manage their mental health, to promote mental health for all and reach out to Canadians in a unique and unprecedented way,” says Coleridge.

Canadians can participate and register at www. mynewhead.com. Registered participants will be asked to answer a few short survey questions to help serve up the interactive mental fitness content most applicable to their desires.

Also, between Nov. 8 and Dec. 31 the first 62,500 Air Miles collectors who participate will receive the 20 Air Miles reward miles.

Art installed at YLW

The Kelowna Art Gallery has unveiled a new art installation at its satellite gallery space in the Kelowna International Airport (YLW) terminal.

Travellers making their way towards the departure gates will now be greeted by a series of images of trees that create the illusion of movement.

For her installation at YLW titled Certain Movement, Kelowna-based artist Dawn Emerson has created a seven-paneled work using mixed media on sheets of mylar, exploring images of trees, which meander over the 40-footlong wall in the well-wishing area just before the airport security gates.

Emerson was inspired by the digital work of Los Angeles-based artist Jennifer Steinkamp, which she saw installed at the Phoenix Art Museum when on a recent trip to Arizona.

JOBS

Science technology career opportunities booming in British Columbia “British Columbia has a ready source of great jobs and careers in technology. Our education programs need to keep up with that demand.”

That is the enthusiastic opinion of John Leech, executive director of the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of BC. “Every system we rely on—water, roads and transportation, telecommunications and Internet, hydro and natural gas, environment, health, forestry, and many more —utilizes engineering and applied science technology professionals working in the background. B.C.’s telecom and IT, animation and many other sectors produce new careers every month.”

ASTTBC has more than 10,000 members currently working in thousands of careers available to graduates of two-year diploma programs available at the British Columbia Institute of Technology and other B.C. colleges and institutes including Okanagan College.

John Leech “Our members enjoy rewarding, well-paid and often recession-proof careers in public service and the private sector alike,” Leech stated.

“For huge numbers of young men and women, technology is the answer.

“In B.C. and across Canada, technology permeates every workplace and job. We need to get capable students involved and engaged in applied sciences and head off workforce shortages by building a B.C. ‘Science and Technology Culture.’”

Leech calls on government for renewed efforts to build student skills and confidence in math and science programming.

“We especially need to interest young students in science and how things work. Young students use technology every day— smart phones, iPads and computers. They play video games, even build robots.” Leech lauds the recent “Year of Science” program that encouraged students toward so-called “STEM” subjects—science, technology, engineering and math.

Citing the recent $6

million B.C. campaign to encourage careers in trades, Leech urges a similar effort to build awareness of engineering technology education and careers.

B.C. Technology Industries Association employers like Telus and BC Hydro and many smaller technology-rich companies say the single most important position they now struggle to fill is specialty technician/technologist.

CONTRIBUTED

TWO RECENT ASTTBC technology award recipients Heather (left photo) is a supervisor for transportation engineering with the City of Prince George while Paul works in the FortisBC elecricity calibration lab in Penticton.

Even the Canadian Council of Chief Executives expressed concern that only 37 per cent of 16- to 18-year-olds were interested in taking even one post-secondary course in sciences, according to a recent Angus Reid survey.

Leech says the opportunities for those seek-

ing work in the technology field are considerable given a wave of retirements of present-generation B.C. technology professionals that is already underway. “Half of our membership is now middle-aged at 45-plus, and 22 per cent are over age 55,” Leech explained.

It would appear their investment is a smart move, as it will result in a broad range of career opportunities. Industries in all regions of B.C. support programs for local trainees to fill engineering and applied science technologist, technician and technical specialist positions.

NEWS ▼ POLITICS

Obama’s win, the NHL lockout and Remembrance Day O

K, everybody breathe. One of the two most important questions relative to the free world has been answered—and the other one is pending.

Obama is back.

On a personal note I

am pleased. However, on a Canadian content level I admit to being slightly perplexed.

I have yet to figure out why Canadians are apparently so preoccupied with the U.S, election yet barely give a rat’s behind

about our own political outcomes.

Perhaps it is the endless, non-stop Yankee hype for the better part of two years that fills our television screens which draws the attention. More than likely, though, it’s

probably the sad realization that (whether we like it or not) Big Brother to the south dictates a whole lot of what happens around the rest of the world.

To many Canucks, having a fellow such as Obama back in the big chair is a heck of a lot more reassuring than someone else in charge perceived as a war monger or ‘hard-ass’.

I have always been somewhat taken back by the illogical association of some that anyone who is quiet and non-aggressive in nature is somehow weak or a pacifist.

President Obama simply sways towards the patient, non-confrontational demeanor rather than a swaggering, kill-themall-let-God-sort-them-out mindset of some others.

That being said, the reigning White House champion strikes me as someone who I would not want to corner and then expect not to pay a price.

As a young boy my father warned me many

FCC Drive Away Hunger

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge a time to make sure and ‘watch out’ for the quiet guy in the corner.

Hopefully, that is a lesson that some aggressive nations around the globe will not have to learn during his next fouryear term.

Now that our political focus can finally return to our own nation we can begrudgingly prepare for more rhetoric and hyperbole regarding our upcoming provincial election.

Clearly the schmoozing and BS is already in full stride with Premier Christy Clark’s announcement earlier this week of the return of a provincially supported tourism plan.

Destination B.C. (or whatever the new tag is) simply replaces the previous Tourism B.C. program the Liberal’s foolishly collapsed a few years back. (Can anyone say…“dumb as a brick”?)

Ironically, I was chatting with friend Silverado a couple of weeks ago and we were lamenting the demise of the old and effective slogans: “Beautiful B.C.,” and/or “Super Natural B.C.” We had pondered whatever happened to those good, catchy promo hooks.

Of course, the same senseless elimination happened by supposedly wise marketing brains

in Kelowna several years back when they dropped the “Four Season’s Playground” tag for Kelowna, and replaced it with, well, nothing.

Hopefully that appropriate tag will also soon be returned.

••• The other earth-shattering question on the minds of most ‘good’ Canadians is will there actually be an NHL hockey season—and if so, when?

My answer remains yes to a salvaged season, and while I thought the boys would be back on their skates by now, I am confident they will be back to bashing each other around arenas in North America well before Christmas.

Like many puck pushers I am missing my Saturday sojourns to the TV, despite the fact it means having to occasionally listen to that racist bigot Don Cherry. (When will Hockey Night in Canada finally drop The Obnoxious One?) Regardless, I digress yet again. The league will return to play sooner than later because the owners are finally going to realize that this time around the players will not knuckle like last time.

I hope it happens soon because, as pointed out by several others, many employees and small businesses that depend on hockey for their salary or income are seriously hurting. Many of those employees and small businesses are directly tied to the NHL arenas and owners.

I believe the current impasse is largely due to

a select group of about eight hard-line team owners who are simply demanding more blood from the players and have cajoled the other owners into not budging.

This time, however, the players are not taking the bluff. I note my friend and strong community voice Wally Lightbody has crafted a letter to the editor in the Capital News (Nov. 6 edition) about the NHL lockout and wisely suggested what is needed is an appointed arbitrator to step in.

Grand idea, which I fully support. Unfortunately, such a move would likely need the consent of the team owners, the NHL itself, and the players’ association, and I’m not sure that will ever happen, Oh well, we can certainly hope.

Good idea Wally!

••• A reminder to readers out there to please honour our past and present soldiers and military support personal on Remembrance Day this Sunday.

We are so blessed to live in such a wonderful country and continent filled with so many freedoms we sometimes take for granted.

In some countries I would not even be allowed to write this column to voice my views as such, and in some countries you would be at risk for reading them.

If not for those brave men and women who laid their lives on the line such freedoms would not be ours.

May they truly rest in peace.

Multi-use lakes generate conflicts TRAIL MIX

Judie Steeves ly in the last century. With the failure a few years ago of the dam on Testalinden Creek further south in the valley, those responsible for dams have been under increased pressure to ensure their dams are safe and are not likely to fail and wash out homes, highways and farms.

However, such drawdowns do no favours for the fish and other aquatic life that depends on a certain water level at a small lake.

Ironically, many of these reservoir lakes are also stocked with rainbows or brook trout at least once a year by the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C., to encourage anglers from around the world to enjoy our back country and our sport fishing.

That includes reservoirs such as Postill Lake in the Glenmore Ellison Improvement Dis-

trict which received 1,000 yearling rainbows May 22 this year; Dobbin Lake in the former Westbank Irrigation District, now operated by West Kelowna which became a new home to 1,000 yearling rainbows June 8; and Grizzly Swamp up on the Aberdeen Plateau, operated by Greater Vernon Water which received 3,000 rainbow fry this September.

As well, 5,000 yearling rainbows were released May 30 at Bear Lake, also known as Lambly Lake, which is operated by West Kelowna; and 10,000 rainbow fry were released Sept.

4 in Whitehead Lake in Summerland’s chain of reservoirs.

That chain includes Crescent Lake, Headwaters and Thirsk as well, while the West Kelowna group of reservoirs include Jackpine, Horseshoe, Paynter, Dobbin, Lambly and Tadpole Lakes.

McCulloch Lake is the main reservoir for another irrigation district, as well as a popular fishing and camping area; Beaver and Dee are reservoirs serving Lake Coun-

try; while Belgo is the reservoir for users in the Black Mountain Irrigation District; Rose Valley, Big Horn and Esperon are used by residents of the Lakeview Heights area of West Kelowna.

Even Okanagan Lake is a reservoir used by thousands of residents for domestic and irrigation water, although accommodations have been made in controlling its level now in order to protect spawning kokanee.

Most of us drink treated surface water stored in a reservoir.

Many of us also fish in those reservoirs.

As they are stretched to serve more and more people, and as we become more conscious of the importance of protecting the source of our water and of safe maintenance of the dams on those reservoirs, the habitat they provide to aquatic and riparian creatures will take second place to human needs.

Since those humans are us, how can we argue with that?

There are lakes around here which are not reservoirs, but the most popular and common fishing spots are former streams

It’s the dawning of a new era for the Central Okanagan Land Trust, as it takes on a paid executive director to help it manage the properties now in its care.

Former executive director of the Kelowna Museums Wayne Wilson, recently retired after 30 years with the museums, has taken on the new COLT position as one of his contracts.

He will be responsible for helping the trust’s board of directors connect more closely with the community, sharing information about its work and the ways in which it can help conserve natural features of the Central Okanagan.

That will include updating the trust’s website and setting up a presence on Facebook, as well as speaking to community groups about COLT. The land trust was set up by the Central Okanagan Foundation in 1991 in order to protect land for wildlife and parks and to preserve natural features of this valley for future generations.

It’s one of the most delightful aspects of this change in seasons, although the starkly bare tree trunks look cold and uncomfortable not clothed in the green leaves of summer.

There are other ways we mark the season’s change, and not all are delightful.

For example, one of the issues that is a feature of the Okanagan’s multi-use watersheds is the late-season drawdown of upland reservoirs so that water utilities can do a dam safety inspection, or because it’s been a water-short season and that water has been needed down in the valley.

You may not even realize that your favourite fishing lake is a water reservoir that a domestic utility or irrigation district has created where water ran and the landscape was favourable to erecting a dam.

Remembrance and gratitude will help you feel better T oday’s column is not about health, wellness or the latest trends in weight reduction. Rather, it is about gratitude.

Research has demonstrated that the most pow-

erful emotion that we can have is that of gratitude.

It embodies appreciation, respect and empathy.

Today’s column is about our greatest natural resource—our veterans.

They’re the heroes that

have fallen and the ones who walk amongst us.

In the Second World War, we were one of the very few countries that participated in that war on a voluntary basis.

We not only had one

of the highest respected soldiers worldwide but they were one of the best.

Ever. Some 2.5 per cent of the world population died in that war alone, including 45,400 Canadian soldiers.

That was four per cent of our population at the present day. And that was just one war to speak of.

I have the highest respect for all of our war veterans.

When they enter my clinic and I find out that they’re a veteran, they are never charged a dime from that day forth. This is the very least I can do.

It amazes me when I speak with my veteran patients—their stories, their losses and all they’ve overcome.

Suddenly every day annoyances don’t seem so large. These are women and men who elected to leave a life of security and comfort and voluntarily put themselves in harm’s way for country.

That alone is truly remarkable.

I had the great fortune of getting to know many of my veterans quite well.

They don’t speak of their experiences with a degree of bravado, but rather one of honour and

ASK DR.THIEL

Markus Thiel respect. I’m a better man for knowing them.

Imagine, if you will, leaving your family, your job and risking safety warmth and your life as you know it by you own volition. The courage that must be taken seems almost insurmountable.

This is by no means another ‘long weekend’ by any measure. All that is asked is that we honor those who fell for our freedom.

I was surprised when I was speaking with one of my patients, a teacher, who felt that Remembrance Day seemed inappropriate, that it was promoting “war mongering” and therefore wasn’t deserving of all the attention

it was getting.

She felt the energy should be more directed towards peace.

I think she’s missed the point. It is indeed not a day of promoting war.

It is simply a day of remembering those who fell before us and for us for peace.

Otherwise, we might be goose-stepping and speaking German today.

My wife gave birth to our son on July 18. On July 20, my wife’s cousin Capt. Richard (Steve) Leary was killed in Afghanistan. He was like a brother to her. My son carries his name today.

Respect the minute of silence. Respect those who fell before you and know that you owe them a debt that we cannot possibly repay.

It’s not a lot to ask.

Regent’s Canal offers picturesque views of London’s north side Bob Downing CONTRIBUTOR

BOB DOWNING/AKRON BEACON JOURNAL

THE REGENT’S CANAL in London is home to narrowboats, house boats that can only be 14 1/2 feet (4.5 metres) wide. The boats pictured are anchored near the Islington Tunnel.

The Regent’s Canal towpath is a tough trail.

It is narrow, crowded, bumpy with cobblestones in places, and bicyclists often end up in the canal.

There are narrow passageways under bridges, wide enough for one person, who must duck.

As an American, I never did figure out if one should walk or pedal on the right or left. From what I could see, traffic on the towpath was pretty much a free-for-all that could not be blamed on one puzzled tourist.

But the canal is a hidden gem that stretches across London’s north side. It is a greenway, a walkway designated by the queen and a look at London’s colourful past.

A narrow ribbon of water is tucked between rows of warehouses and other buildings in a picturesque urban landscape.

It is used by walkers, runners and bicyclists, some of whom are commuting to work at London’s highrise Canary Wharf area near the eastern terminus.

The canal runs 8.6 miles, from Little Venice in Maida Vale in the west, to the Limehouse Basin, London’s docks and the River Thames in the east.

Its western terminus is the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal that ran from the Midlands.

Part of the appeal of the Regent’s Canal is the hundreds of colour-

ful houseboats that ply its waters. They are known simply as narrowboats, because the maximum width of boats on the canal is 14 feet, 6 inches.

Some are active homes.

Others appear to be mothballed in basins that adjoin the canal.

The canal has 13 locks and three tunnels. It can handle narrowboats up to 74 feet long with a draft of 4 feet, 10 inches. The maximum headroom is 8 feet, 2 inches.

It is quiet today, surrounded by parks, apartments, commercial office space and warehouses. Cafes are popping up. It has a festive outdoorsy feel. The towpath also provides a link to the Broadway market, with more than 100 food stalls and some of London’s tastiest street food.

Canal locks like City Road Lock and Sturts Lock near Islington are popular spots for locals to picnic and hang out.

The Regent’s Canal retains elements of its industrial heritage and planners want to combine that with its recreational uses.

Elements along the canal include locks, lock cottages, wharves, lay-bys, bridges, bridge guards, horse ramps and boundary markers. (Horse ramps were built to allow teams that had fallen into the canal to get back onto the towpath.)

An estimated 35,000 boats ply Great Britain’s canal system that stretches 2,200 miles. That includes

about 6,000 narrowboats.

The canal was proposed by Thomas Homer in 1802. It was developed by John Nash, who hired James Morgan to be the engineer. It opened in 1820, named after the Prince Regent (later King Edward IV).

In the northwest, the canal runs adjacent to 489acre Regent’s Park, which was being developed at the same time. The land was acquired by King Henry VIII in the 16th century as royal hunting grounds.

That park includes an outdoor Shakespeare theater, the 36-acre London Zoo, Queen Mary’s Gardens, a boating lake and excellent sports facilities. Nearby is Primrose Hill, London’s one-time dueling venue.

In the east, it runs by 218-acre Victorian Park, which was opened to the public by Queen Victoria in 1845.

Boat tours and water taxis are available between Little Venice and Camden Lock through private companies. For details, check with the Jenny Wren (www.walkersquay. com), London Waterbus Co. (http://londonwaterbus.com), Regent’s Canal Pleasure Boats (http:// floatingboater.co.uk) or Jason’s Canal Boat Trips (http://jasons.co.uk). The Waterbus company has three boats on the National Register of Historic Ships.

dubbed Browning’s Pool after poet Robert Browning, who lived there from 1862 to 1887. Browning later named the area Little Venice.

The Regent’s Canal quickly became England’s busiest, and wharves quickly sprang up along it and adjoining basins. The basins—some of which survive today—became home to industrial operations.

Items being shipped from across England arrived via canal, and cargoes from seagoing vessels

were transferred to horsedrawn canal barges. Those shipments were transferred at the Regent’s Canal Dock (the Limehouse Basin) at the East End docks.

Coal and building materials were the most-shipped commodities.

In 1830, the 1.3-mile Hertford Union Canal opened with three locks off the Regent’s Canal.

After the first railroad was built in London in 1837, the canal continued to do well. The rail and canal seemed to work to-

were taken over by British Waterways London. The Regent’s Canal Dock was shut down in 1969.

The Jubilee Greenway starts at Buckingham Palace and links Green and Hyde parks and Kensington Gardens Royal Park with Paddington Station and the Grand Union Canal at Little Venice. It then follows the Regent’s Canal through Camden.

The greenway connects to East London through Victoria Park to the River Thames where the Woolwich Foot Tunnel

connects Greenwich and the South Bank at Tower Bridge and back to St. James via Westminster.

The project is managed by the Jubilee Walkway Trust. Get information at www.walklondon.org.uk/ jubileewalkwaytrust.

gether to transport goods including coal, stone, ice and manure.

There were two proposals in the 19th century to turn the canal into a railroad. But that never happened.

The British government nationalized the rail, road and canal systems in 1948 under the British Transport Commission.

The use of the canal as a shipping hub continued into the 1960s when rail and roads surpassed the canal system.

In 1963, the canals

Santa Fe more efficient, more refined for 2013 Neil Moore CONTRIBUTOR

CONTRIBUTED

NUMEROUS incremental changes throughout the exterior make the all-new Hyundai Santa Fe Sport look significantly more upscale. There are two sizes for 2013: the five-passenger Sport (as shown) and the long-wheel base, seven-passenger model to be released in the first quarter of 2013.

OF THE

EVENT

It’s no secret that Hyundai has been riding high the past few years, with August marking 44 consecutive months of year-over-year sales gains.

Such success is reflected in a 3.4 per cent market share increase since 2008, putting the Korean manufacturer in number five spot, behind Toyota.

Hyundai didn’t get there on price alone, although after putting clunkers like the Pony and Stellar behind them, they were still recognized for a lineup that was largely ‘cheap and cheerful.’

But that was then and this is now, and after winning Canadian and North American Car of the Year (COTY) in 2009 with the luxury Genesis Sedan,

and more recently scooping three 2012 Canadian COTY category wins for the Accent, Veloster and Elantra, the company has surged up the pecking order.

And so has the Santa Fe within its segment, as the all-new 2013 model has improved in nearly every way.

It also now comes in two body styles. The five-passenger ‘Sport’ is on sale now with FWD or AWD, and is available with two engines: a 2.4-litre four cylinder with gasoline direct injection (GDI), and a 2.0-litre turbocharged four, also with GDI. All Sport models get a six-speed automatic with Shiftronic manual shift.

MOTORING â&#x2013;ź FIRST DRIVE

Only experiencing Santa Fe lets you feel how refined it is Hyundai from B1 is simply named the Santa Fe, and will replace the Veracruz sometime during in early 2013.

Last week, our group of journalists had an opportunity to drive the Sport, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll admit that although having seen the photos, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect

something quite so refined.

This starts with the exterior. At first it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem a huge leap from the outgoing model, but

incremental changes in the grille, headlights, taillights, roofline, belt line, character lines and other areas combine for an effect that is signifi-

cantly more upscale.

Like the Tucson, it employs Hyundaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fluidic Sculpture styling, but in a way that appears more purposeful.

Along the sides are character lines that pierce each door handle, along with sculpting that provides dimension and depth. This seamlessly flows into the protruding wheel arches, which house standard-equipped 17-inch Euroflange alloy wheels.

The bold front end with hexagonal front grille is flanked by modern swept-back projector headlamps and blackaccented fog lamps. The two-tone lower fascia projects a rugged, SUV appearance.

For 2013, the Santa Fe is longer and lower, and has more interior spaceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; besting pretty much all the competition except for the Toyota RAV4.

Along with an increase in capacity is a cut in weight. This new model is 120 kg lighter than the 2012 (and 16 per cent stiffer), much of this due to a greater use of hightensile steel from Hyundaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own steel plant.

A more rigid body, better aerodynamics, improvements in damping and bushings, a doublelayered windshield, and more insulation in the dash and floor, add up to a cabin thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surprisingly hushed. Nearly what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect from Infiniti or Lexus.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying fit and finish are quite at that level, but the lighting, instruments, controls and seating wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look out of place in a more expensive vehicle.

The boomer buyers that Hyundai is targeting want more than utility, and the company has responded with a pile of premium features for those wanting to upfit their Santa Fe: dual zone climate control, heated rear seats, ventilated front seats, rear door sunshades, heated steering wheel, rear park assist, rear camera, push button start, navigation, panoramic sunroof and 19-inch alloy wheels.

Of course, these are higher trim options, but even the base, at $26,499, offers a healthy list of standard amenities.

The Santa Fe 2.4-litre FWD includes air conditioning, heated front seats, power windows with driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s auto up/down and pinch protection, tilt/telescopic steering with audio and cruise controls, power lumbar support, Bluetooth and six-speaker AM/FM/ XM/CD/MP3 audio system with iPod/USB/aux inputs.

Also standard are second-row 40/20/40 split fold reclineable seats that drop to double the 1,002 rear cargo hold to 2,025 litres. And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ample under-floor storage.

This entry model also gets a rear spoiler, roofrack side rails and the previously mentioned 17inch alloys.

Next in line, with the 2.4-litre engine, is the Premium FWD ($28,299),

2.0 turbo ‘more robust’ at $38,499.

Indeed, there’s a hefty premium for going with the turbo ($2,200) and AWD ($2,000), but Hyundai expects roughly twothirds of their sales to be turbocharged models, and more than 70 per cent to be AWD. The turbo may be top dog, but the 2.4-litre is no wimp, producing 190 hp and 181 lb/ft of torque—15 hp and 12 lb/ ft more than the 2.4-litre engine it replaces. And with 12 percent better fuel economy.

Hyundai from B2

followed by Premium AWD ($30,299) and Luxury AWD ($33,899).

The base turbo model comes in Premium trim, which will set you back $30,499 for FWD or $32,499 for AWD. However Hyundai expects the SE AWD, to be their overall volume seller, which at $35,299 includes pretty much everything but navigation, power passenger seat and upgraded audio system. If you want these, opt for the Limited AWD

Acceleration is smooth, and the engine doesn’t drone noticeably, but there isn’t much kick when you plant the pedal.

Which is to be expected, as the Santa Fe still tips the scales at 1,569 kg (FWD) and 1,640 kg (AWD).

The 2.0T, on the other hand is considerably more robust.

Replacing last year’s V6, it gives up a few horses (four percent), but delivers eight percent more torque and the same percentage in added fuel economy.

CONTRIBUTED

WITH TRAILER BRAKES INSTALLED, the Santa Fe 2.0T will haul 1,590 kg. The 2.4-litre model will tow 907 kg.

CONTRIBUTED

THERE’S PLENTY OF ROOM for all your gear in the Santa Fe, with 1,002 litres of cargo space behind the second row, and 2,025 litres with the 40/20/40 seats folded.

Numbers are 264 hp and 269 lb/ft, with torque coming in at a low 1,750 rpm. As a result, it’s significantly quicker off the line than the 2.4-litre, and far better at highway passing.

With the MacPherson strut/multilink front/ rear suspension setup, ride is smooth, and as you’d expect in a tall vehicle, there’s a bit of lean in hard cornering.

Steering, however, is taut and precise. Mind you, I had the Santa Fe’s driver selectable steering mode (DSSM) set to ‘Sport’ most of the time.

This dials back the power assist, which increases ac-

cordingly with ‘normal’ or ‘comfort’ settings.

There’s much more to be said about the all-new Santa Fe, and I hope to do a longer test—probably once the snow flies.

Hyundai believes this is their most important new vehicle launch since the Elantra, and I would agree.

Demand for this kind of vehicle shows no sign of slowing down, and the company points out that 21 per cent of new vehicle buyers are intending to purchase a compact or intermediate CUV. And I’ll bet a lot of them will be putting the 2013 Santa Fe on their

shopping list.

Volkswagen adds hybrid choice to Jetta for 2013 Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTED

Not content with offering affordable low consumption gasoline and diesel cars, Volkswagen has added a third option with the 2013 Jetta Hybrid.

You would think a small displacement diesel and gas vehicle would be enough for the fuel ef-

ficiency conscious, but Volkswagen is convinced increasing numbers of buyers feel some form of hybrid should be their next choice.

On top of that, VW believes buyers will accept paying about $4,000 more over the Jetta 2.5-litre because of the perceived fuel savings over the longer term.

So the next question

CONTRIBUTED

THERE ISN’T MUCH to tell a Jetta Hybrid from other

models except for small things such as the badging, an integrated rear spoiler and hidden exhaust pipe.

you might ask, and I did, was why not go all out with a diesel hybrid?

VW said they have looked at it but the extra cost of a hybrid and a diesel is more of a premium that consumers are currently willing to pay.

A 1.4-litre inline fourcylinder turbo direct injection gasoline engine producing 150 hp and 184 lb/ft of torque powers the Jetta Hybrid. This is combined with a 20 kW (27 hp, 114 lb/ft) electric motor for a total 170 hp and the same 184 lb/ft of torque.

According to VW, the Jetta Hybrid uses about 20 per cent less fuel than an equivalently sized sedan with a gasoline engine. In city stop/go driving that goes up to about 30 per cent. In pure electric mode that Jetta Hybrid can hit up to 60-70 km/h and travel up to 2.0 km depending on driving conditions.

The hybrid system borrows technology from the Touareg Hybrid CUV using a clutch that decouples the gasoline en-

WITH THE 2013 Jetta Hybrid, Volkswagen is the only automaker in North America offering a choice of affordable gasoline, diesel or hybrids with the Comfortline model (shown) starting at $28,875. gine when in electric mode or ‘coasting.’

Besides regenerative power being routed back the battery when braking, when the driver lifts off the accelerator at speeds up to 100 km/h and coasts, this also serves to provide power to the lithium-ion battery.

The 220-volt lithium-ion battery is located under the rear seat and weighs 163 lb. By watching the weight, the Jetta Hybrid comes in at just 221 lb more than the standard sedan.

Even the seven-speed dual clutch transmission is trimmed down in size and weight.

There are about three separate ways of monitoring your fuel conservation.

When driving, it is hard to take you eyes off the ePower meter that is part of the overall hybrid energy flow display integrated into the multi-info readout found in the main instrument cluster.

Here’s where it gets cool.

The Power Meter is an additional multifunctional display that replaces the tach on the left side of the instrument cluster. It informs the driver of the momentary operating state of the Jetta Hybrid.

You can watch the ‘tach’ needle swing up and down as the engine kicks in or when regenerative power is replenishing the battery. Lastly, when you give it the gas and the battery adds its thrust, the needle swings all the way to the right in the ‘boost’ mode.

But wait, there’s more.

Part of the audio system also helps coach the driver with messages on the audio display.

For instance, the audio display’s ‘Zero Emissions’ menu offers a graphic of the car’s zero emissions driving time.

The zero emissions values are shown in the form of percentages in a bar diagram, where the measurement interval of one bar represents one minute of driving.

A value of 100 per cent means that the car was driven with zero emissions throughout the driv-

ing minute, i.e., with the TSI engine shut off. The effective time period for this is 30 minutes.

Lastly the audio monitor can also give an instantaneous depiction of the flow of energy back in forth between the engine and battery.

It’s pretty extensive but surprisingly easy to live with when driving, See VW B5

THE 2013 VW HYBRID gives the driver several ways to monitor fuel consumption.

The Power Meter to the left of the main instrument cluster replaces a tach and the centre ePower display that readouts energy flow, average and instant fuel mileage.

for Canadian consumers.

But the Equinox does offer a choice of powertrains.

A larger percentage of Americans, and some Canadians with recreational towing needs, have traditionally opted for a more powerful V6 engine.

As tested here, our 2013 Equinox 2LT model harnesses a new, 3.6-litre DOHC direct-injected LFX V6 that replaces the previous 3.0-litre unit.

The new engine makes 301 hp at 6500 rpm (up 37 hp or 14 per cent) and 272 lb/ft of torque at 4800 rpm (up 50 lb/ft or 22 per cent).

This motor makes significantly more grunt than its predecessor although Chevrolet has not changed

It should come as no surprise that the Chevy Equinox, built right here in Canada, has proved to be one of the most popular compact crossovers in this country and in the United States.

Since its debut in 2004, this five-passenger ‘sportcute’, manufactured with unibody architecture on GM’s Theta platform, has offered entry-level affordability, five-passenger room, four-cylinder fuel economy, optional six-cylinder towing power and all-wheel drive availability at every trim level.

The Chevy Equinox has evolved steadily to keep pace with a very competitive market. An improved second-generation 2010 model set new

sales records and GM’s yearly upgrades have culminated with this year’s 2013 model, featuring a new optional V6 engine and new technologies.

The Equinox comes in four trim levels—the base LS model, LT (divided into 1LT and 2LT package choices) and in top-of-theline LTZ trim with all the fixings.

The standard power unit for Equinox is a 2.4-litre DOHC Ecotec direct-injected in-line four-cylinder engine making 182 hp at 6700 rpm with 172 lb/ft of torque peaking at 4900 rpm.

Fuel economy is rated at 9.2/6.1L/100km (city/ hwy) in FWD configuration. This four-banger’s combined blend of fuelefficient thrift and adequate pulling power has made it the go-to engine

City level gas rates in real life driving

Chevy from B6 the official 1588 kg tow rating (3500 lb).

To complement the additional power, GM has a new available FE2 suspension package to go with the 3.6-litre V6. It offers refined ride and handling control, a good idea

for customers with towing demands.

The FE2 suspension packaged is tied in with the purchase of optional 18-inch wheels or the 19inch chrome-clad wheels on LTZ models.

Fuel economy in this AWD model is rated at 13.2/8.4L/100 (city/hwy)

although, as usual, real world testing numbers tend to average out closer to the ‘city’ rating.

After 500 km or so of mixed driving conditions, my fuel economy average worked out to 12.6L/100km (comb).

Inside, the Equinox offers a nice blend of com-

fort and conveniences. Instruments are well laid out and the blend of tones and textures, metallic highlights and Ice Blue ambient illumination sets an upscale tone to the interior. There are nooks and crannies for storage and a deep centre console that will swallow a laptop.

Some competitors may offer more cargo space but a standard MultiFlex rear seat allows 200 millimetres (7.9 inches) of fore/aft movement for best-in-class rear legroom and luggage versatility.

With the 60/40 splitback rear seat moved all

the way forward, the cargo area offers 872 litres (30.8 cu ft) of storage. That expands to a maximum of 1,803 litres (63.7 cu ft) with the second row folded flat.

added options comes close to the trappings of a full-blown LTZ version.

Some of the features include the new MyLink audio and connectivity suite of technologies with navigation, the Pioneer premium sound system, heated leather seating and more.

Frankly, with all the extras, this tester in 2LT trim ($31,825) with AWD ($1,950), 3.6-litre V6 ($1,725), power sunroof ($1,095), 18-inch chrome wheels ($950), MyLink with navigation ($795), Convenience package with power liftgate and universal home remote ($675) and other options, comes to a total price of $42,595, which seems somewhat removed from the Equinox’s frugal origins.

I would personally opt for a simpler choice but it’s the wide versatility of trim and packaging levels that makes the Equinox a viable contender in a market niche crowded with other competent competitors like the Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson or Santa Fe, Nissan Rogue, Mazda CX-5 and Ford Escape, to name just a few. Customers playing the made-inCanada card should also consider the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. The Equinox and its GMC Terrain sibling have been a boon for the CAMI plant in Ingersoll, Ontario (see sidebar attached), with three recent upgrades in shift numbers and volume, and with some final assembly in Oshawa. But there is also some worry

as GM shifts a production percentage to the former Saturn plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee.

Hopefully, the Canadian standards of production excellence that have contributed so much to the Equinox’s competitive spirit and sales success will continue to make it a viable made-in-Canada alternative.

electric steering did not have a ‘wooden’ feel.

Despite all the different ways of minding your consumption, I found the Power Meter more than sufficient. Cruising along the highway and watching how the battery’s boost would phase in and out helped me, in the short time I drove the car, modulate my right foot to get more from the system.

When it arrives in Canadian showrooms early next year, the Jetta Hybrid will be offered in Trendline ($27,875), Comfortline ($30,175) and Highline ($34,025) trim levels.

The Jetta still boasts the biggest interior passenger volume in the compact segment and, despite the battery back intruding into the trunk, cargo volume is still adequate at 11.3 cu ft.

There is no doubt electrification of the automobile is no longer a novelty but part of the

route to greener, cleaner transportation.

With the Hybrid added to the gasoline and diesel Jetta lineup, Volkswagen is on the right road to that goal.

Selling home sets the stage for retirement A recent survey revealed one in three Canadians over the age of 45 believe they will need to sell their real estate investments to support themselves through retirement.

While funding retirement can mean selling off real estate, downsizing or putting the family home on the market, Valley First Credit Union’s Jay Christensen says a better option is to get an early start on your savings.

“Saving is a habit,” explained Christensen.

“Like any habit we’ve got to work at it so it becomes second nature. The earlier we can train our-

selves to put some money aside, the better off we will be in the long run.”

Another factor leading to the need for greater retirement income is the climbing life expectancy—nearly 90 per cent of survey respondents anticipate they will live past 80.

With the current retirement age set at 65, that means having the funds available for more than 15 years of retirement.

“It’s no secret, people are living longer,” said Christensen. “Many are also working longer as a means to fund their retirement. The days when you could hang up your work

WITH ABOUT 230,000 people aged 45 or older across the Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson regions, more than 70,000 people will be looking to part with their estate holdings to fund their future lifestyles. clothes for good sometime in your 50s are quickly passing us by, so it’s important to have a sound financial plan.”

For many, retirement seems like a long way off, but Christensen says those

who have successfully built up a healthy nest egg, often pass on a common piece of advice— discipline. “There seems to have been a generational shift in attitudes toward money,” noted Christens-

en. “Our parents took a lot less for granted, which for many meant a more cashconscious lifestyle. I think a lot of us would be better off if we could learn a few spending and savings lessons from the past.”

W OF PRIME INTEREST

Becoming familiar with mortgage language To help better understand the language of mortgage terminology, here are some key words that all potential home buyers need to be knowledgeable about.

PORTABILITY With today’s low mortgage interest rates, when either purchasing a home or refinancing your existing mortgage, peace of mind can take the worry out of future interest rate increase concerns.

When a financial institution says you can “port” your mortgage, that means if you decide to sell your current home and still require a mortgage, the current interest rate will follow you to the new property.

For example, if you have just taken a five-year closed mortgage and decide to sell and move to a new property in two years, you

do not have to pay out the mortgage but instead transfer it over to the new property, and any subsequent interest rate increases won’t be applied to the new mortgage for its remaining years.

As well, if you have a variable rate mortgage, the rate is generally not portable.

TERM For those who take out a mortgage for the first time, there often is confusion between the words “amortization” and “term.”

When your lender states the amortization of your mortgage is 25 years, that is how long it takes to pay off the mortgage debt with a monthly payment. Buyers have the option to accelerate paying off a mortgage by making biweekly or weekly payments.

Term refers to the guaranteed time for you mortgage interest

rate before it can change as interest rates go up or down.

The term for a mortgage can be as short as six months to as long as 10 years before coming up for renewal.

CLOSED VS. OPEN MORTGAGE Closed mortgages have certain conditions attached to them, such as being allowed to pay a certain amount off beyond the regular payments each year without a penalty being imposed.

The allowable lump sum payment amount is usually 15 to 20 per cent. For example, on a $200,000 mortgage, a 20 per cent annual lump sum can max out at $40,000 each year of the mortgage term.

Paying off the whole term of the mortgage before the maturity date will mean a penalty payout as well.

With an open mortgage, it offers the opportunity to pay off any amount of the mortgage at any time without incurring a penalty. But not being locked in to a set interest rate leaves you susceptible to changes in interest rates from month to month.

When deciding what type of mortgage to take out, think about your financial intentions for the future.

n September, only a mere 116 single-family homes were sold in the Central Okanagan, a surprisingly low monthly number but comparable to September 2007 when Canada’s red-hot real estate market came to a halt with just 117 single family homes reported sold.

According to the Canadian Real Estate Association, September home sales fell across Canada by 15.1 per cent from a year ago, however, this is not region specific information.

In October, 123 sinREAL ESTATE gle family homes sold, RUNDOWN slightly up from the previous month. Last year, that figure was 132 dwellings sold, a decrease from 2012 to 2011.

As Canada’s housing Ceinwen market cools down in the Morgan third and fourth quarters, whispers are being heard of another recession.

However, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation is claiming a different forecast. In CMHC’s recent Housing Market Outlook, the housing sales forecast for 2013 shows an increase of eight per cent in sales over 2012. Inventory is expected to remain on the high side, offering competitive sale prices and extending the buyer’s market sales conditions before leveling out by midyear. And mortgages rates are predicted to rise only slightly in 2013.

The increase in employment growth in the Kelowna and surrounding areas will continue to support the supply and demand of the housing market, according to the CMHC forecast.

“We see a pick up in growth in both employment and the economy next year, and that’s what leads to a slightly stronger outlook for housing,” said Carol Frketich, CMHC’s B.C. regional economist.

Among all these promising predictions, CMHC says Canada has been feeling a recent staleness in the market due both to the usual seasonal slowdown and that extreme adjustments were made to the mortgage rules last July, forcing Canadian buyers to tighten up on their spending.

The likelihood of seeing 2006 sale prices in the near future is doubtful as buyers are waiting for the bottom to hit in our real estate slump, but we may not be waiting too much longer if CMHC is on target with its housing sales forecast for 2013.
