How and why and to what means and ends do we create and share pictures?

It’s a critical question for humanity, forming the basis of communication, how we understand history from cavemen to now, how we share what’s happening in the world around us and how we enjoy and explore that world.

And for the next two months, four artists in the Kelowna Art Gallery will turn our understanding of this process on its head, showing us that there is more to an object than the lines that make up the whole, and more to arts and than the average person might consider.

CLOSE-UP

Finding artistic impression in a mind’s eye

from A1

From local artist P.J. Lockhart to Japanese-German artist Eriko Watanabe, New Yorker Busser Howell to Calgarian Bruce Horak, art enthusiasts in Kelowna will come to see exactly what it means to create art through the eyes of someone who cannot see and just why their window on our world is so critical to understand it.

“We think we see with our eyes. Sighted people can’t get beyond that,” said Howell. “But really you see in your brain.

Your eye is nothing more to you than the lens is to a camera.”

Howell explains that he works from his visual cortex, or his mind’s eye, if you will.

He started to lose his eyes as a teenager and has a stunning curriculum vitae.

Showing in top galleries across the United States, he has worked as a sighted artist and as an artist who is legally blind.

(He lost his sight at age 40.)

His art was in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, as part of the National Exhibit for the Blind, and the Smithsonian in Washington, DC in an exhibit entitled Revealing Culture.

And his work has covered everything from imaginary dancers to 9/11 to the state of American politics, and now meditation.

He doesn’t work by touch and he doesn’t wander around wanting to feel

Eriko Watanabe everything as the sighted community seems to believe. In fact, he is decidedly repulsed by much of the art he’s allowed to run his fingers over, noting American museums are far behind European, limiting the visually impaired to tactic representations that are often a pale, if not embarrassing, recreation of original works.

He has just written a book, Blind Side, which will be released on Amazon Books.

It features 68 images by blind artists, from sculptors to painters, and attempts to dispel myths about living with visual impairments as well as showcase their art.

In addition to not being entirely touch-oriented, for example, Howell says being blind doesn’t make your other senses stronger. In fact, it’s often just the opposite.

The visual and auditory centres in the brain are in close proximity so often, if one is damaged, the other will be too.

For him, losing his sight has opened the door to a new vision for his art.

Where he used to rigidly try to hide his vis-

Today, he uses texture, pays impeccable attention to materials and allows his creativity to run wild.

It does not matter where an eye or nose lands on his canvas or if

he paints in green with orange hair. He isn’t trying to make it a replica of reality anyway.

Eriko Watanabe knows exactly what this means; although her challenge is to bring the world into her entirely visionless reality. Born in Japan, schooled in library sciences at UBC and living in Germany with her hus-

band, she is revolutionizing the art world, carving a niche in art history that’s all her own.

Her work is considered so groundbreaking University of Toronto professor John Kennedy believes she could very well land up in the British Museum by the time her career develops.

Where cavemen dis-

covered how to do representations by using a line to replicate the outer edge of an object, Watanabe appears to be one of the first artists in the world—and the only current artist—who is using lines to represent what is going on inside the object, continuing to challenge representations of two dimensions and

three dimensions to produce things like emotion, sound and visual image all at once.

“When a blind person is making pictures, the language part of their brain is totally silent and the visual part lights up,” said Kennedy, pointing out it’s the same for Watanabe, even though she’s never seen out of her eyes and, therefore, has no visual experience to draw on.

This is both an amazing discovery and a difficult experience for her to relay as it means she has had to learn from feel and description what dimensions and geography are all about.

As Watanabe describes it, as a child she traced a piece of art with tactile ink and determined it was a person lying down.

Because the person was lying on the table in front of her, she assumed they were meant to be shown lying down; but she was soon corrected and told the person was in fact standing in the picture.

This opened a floodgate of queries she grapples with in her art today as she tries to ascertain, for example, what makes a tall tree a tree in a drawing or a building a building if she cannot see it to recreate it.

Her experience of the world is unique, but so too are the experiences of sighted people.

Then, with her children grown and her elderly mother gone, she found herself “an empty-nested orphan” and decided to move to New York.

“I went to New York because of my writing and my theatre interests, not because of my art aspirations,” she said.

Nevertheless, she became involved with the Art Beyond Sight Institute, meeting artist Busser Howell along the way, who would later become one of the four artists in the exhibit she has curated for KAG. She went to museums on the tours designed specifically for people with visual impairments and relished the glass of wine or coffee and discussion that would follow with fellow art enthusiasts.

When she wants to draw herself contemplating life over a cup of coffee, she uses lines to draw the coffee cup, but also a swirl of lines to equally represent her thoughts roaming the universe in the same way anyone else’s thoughts would be doing as they shared in that experience.

There was an artist in the 1800s who drew a wheel with the spokes as swirls to represent movement. His thoughts spawned comic book drawings with lines for actions.

Watanabe is now using line to represent sound, emotion and other dimensions, Kennedy ex-

plained. Using a drawing kit of a silicone pad, similar to a baking sheet, and a plastic-type paper, she sketches out bumpy, Braille-like images.

“I’m more of a hobby artist,” she said, explaining her day job is in public relations. “What I try to do is transfer what I perceive through my senses.”

In the case of her first taste of habanero chili, that meant drawing the chili bowl, followed by the explosion she felt in her mouth, a feverous series of lines, and the dizziness that followed in her head, weak lines around the outside of the page.

“I have moved away from attempts to make visually correct pictures,”

she said. “This way my pictures can be authentic.”

Derrickson is a real hero for aboriginal people

T

he century-old plight of Canada’s aboriginal people is back in the public eye, thanks to protests dubbed Idle No More.

As with Occupy protests last year, the demands are vague.

One of the claims, repeated in media coverage of protests, is that the federal government is moving to end the historic Indian Act restriction against selling reserve land.

A look at the federal legislation, Bill C-45, shows this is not the case.

Amendments ease restrictive provisions for leasing reserve land, which remains property of the Crown held in perpetuity for the aboriginal com-

VICTORIA munity. This change was inVIEWS itiated by B.C. aboriginal leaders so they can follow the trail blazed by one of the most entrepreneurial chiefs in Canadian history.

His name is Ron DerTom rickson, and he served six Fletcher terms as chief of the Westbank First Nation near Kelowna.

One of my first big reporting assignments was covering a Royal Commission into his administration’s business affairs in the mid-1980s.

There had been an astonishing 17 federal investigations before that, stemming from local claims that Derrickson was just too successful.

He drove a big black Mercedes, wore expensive suits, and established a bunch of enterprises, including Canada’s first water slide.

The commission was chaired by John Hall, then known as the Crown prosecutor who put serial killer Clifford Olson away, and now an appeal court judge.

Derrickson’s suit jacket had a conspicuous bulge as he took the stand each day.

He was packing a semi-automatic pistol, having demanded and received a carry permit after a brutal attempt on his life.

The hit man, an ex-cop, was hired by people who didn’t like the bottom-line way Derrickson ran Westbank’s lease-hold mobile home parks.

He showed up at Derrickson’s home one day and tried to beat him to death with a metal bar.

Badly injured, Derrickson made it to his gun cabinet and shot his assailant, who survived to go to prison.

Derrickson testified that his ap-

l proach to the Indian Affairs bureaub cracy was simple. He did business, and I if they didn’t like it, they could tell him.

Reserve land can’t be sold, so he leased it, offering people a low-cost way to enjoy the sunny Okanagan.

His business plan was also simple.

Drive to California and see what they’re doing. Drive back and do it in B.C. A 2007 profile of Derrickson by Greg Fjetland in Canadian Business magazine describes how he came by his approach to Ottawa.

He grew up “dirt poor, living in a tar paper shack.” His family name was Tousawasket, until the local Indian Agent drew an Anglo name out of a hat.

He and his brother were the first aboriginal kids to attend public school in Kelowna.

More guns won’t stop gun violence

To the editor: Re: Gun Ownership protects personal rights, property.

Your letter writer Mr. Baudais believes that with gun ownership in the hands of responsible citizenry is a good thing.

There is nothing wrong with that.

However, his links between the use of gun control legislation to loss of personal freedom through the use of historical references is misleading.

From political dissidents to minorities, these groups were viewed by their government as “threats” and as a result would have been persecuted whether they were armed or not.

Their governments at the time

would have pursued policies that would have endangered the lives of those involved.

For example, Mr. Baudais applies the example of Nazi Germany and their use of gun control.

Now, had the majority of Jews possessed firearms, the Nazis would simply utilize this for the purpose of propaganda, possibly stating that the Jews were preparing for armed revolt.

Had the Jewish people used these firearms, the Nazis would still have carried out their plans for the murder of millions of Jews and disguised it as a suppression of partisans and guerrillas.

In the case of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising during 1943,

Jews had armed themselves and resisted nobly, nevertheless this did not stop the Nazis from suppressing the revolt and subsequently send Jews to the concentration camps.

The is no correlation between gun control and loss of personal rights or freedoms.

It is therefore not guns in which we, as citizens, should place our faith. If we are to protect our rights and freedoms, then the best means to do so is through active participation in debate and dialogue.

We should always ask questions about the policies that our government enacts.

As a side note, during the Second World War, the Japanese

did not invade the United States because it was strategically impractical if not impossible.

The Japanese would have had to fight in territory an ocean away while trying to secure a line of communication and find a means of supplying their army with ammunition and other supplies.

There was also no reason for the Japanese to invade the U.S. as they could secure their resources within Southeast Asia.

It was not because Americans citizens were armed (who many Japanese thought were decadent and would capitulate after a dazzling show of force) that prevented a Japanese invasion.

▼ SNOW CLEARING

Plow snow to the unoccupied side of the street

To the editor: Further to a letter about snowplows in residential areas, I live on Denali Drive (in Kelowna) where houses are located only one side of the road.

We (residents) appreciate that the city does plow our road.

How problematic would it be for the operator to redirect the snowplow blades to the side where there are no hous-

es instead of piling up the snow on our driveways?

Last year the operator was very mindful and considerate of this, but this winter, for the second time in as many heavy snowfalls, we have had to

dig ourselves out.

I am a senior who lives alone and have been able to manage. But this time it’s quite overwhelming.

Hopefully, this will reach the public works department at City Hall and

this problem will be addressed.

The fact that I have to buy gas, pay to wash my car and have it serviced, all help the economy.

Both of the above are just socially acceptable signs that I am making enough money to pay for the things that I want to buy.

Now I need an oper7ation. My doctor has referred me to a specialist who tells me my hip needs replacing.

But the wait list is long and it will take time before I can get it done.

I have to join the line up

and wait.

There is not enough money in the health system to pay to keep operating rooms working fulltime. Each doctor is only allocated a certain amount of time in the operating room each week. This naturally limits the number of operations that can be performed. The wait list is slow and long.

How do we get more money? Increase taxes?

No. An easier way would be to charge me for my operation (and anyone else who wants to pay to have one).

A portion of the cost of my operation would go

to the cost of the operating room, any special nursing required and other hospital supplied services, the rest to the surgeon for performing the operation.

So my operation will not cost the health service money. It will help put money into the kitty.

The more patients who pay for their treatment, the shorter the wait list will become.

In effect, those who cannot afford to pay for treatment will be treated more quickly because there is more money in the system to cover more operating room time and fewer patients on the wait-

▼ FLETCHER

Former chief a colourful character

Fletcher from A6

Racist bullying drove his parents to move him to a residential school in Washington State.

He dropped out in Grade 9, toiled on farms, learned to weld, and worked his way into ranching, real estate and politics. He never gave up or backed down, ever.

The Hall commission

and all previous government probes concluded that he did nothing wrong.

Derrickson sued his local accusers and won, and Ottawa began to change its racist, paternalistic ways.

Which brings us back to today. Derrickson’s pioneering work is still changing the Indian Act for the better. This effort is under dishonest attack

from people whose legacy is mainly incompetence and failure. Protesters demand more unearned public subsidy, and a petulant soup-only strike is celebrated as an act of bravery.

ing list.

Sadly, skewed thinking suddenly takes place.

If I get to pay for my operation, I am taking somebody else’s place in line.

Not everyone can afford to pay to be operated on quickly, so I can’t be unfair and get treatment sooner. That’s not Canadian. We don’t believe in that sort of thing. It’s just not done.

So, I will just have to hobble out to my Rolls Royce, go home to my mansion on the lake and suffer while I wait.

But I do have another option.

I could take my Can-

adian-earned money and book a hospital holiday in a foreign land to have a hip replacement there immediately—spend my money outside Canada and return with my new hip in time for the start of the golf season.

I believe that the sooner we allow private health care in Canada (under certain controls naturally), the sooner we can fix our ailing health system and give a little boost to the local economy.

Tell me again, what is wrong with me being able to buy a new hip?

nections and joined local artist and communications expert Karen Close working with an artistic group she facilitates.

“She uses a spontaneous approach and they often do art projects with eyes closed and non-dominant hand and all that kind of thing. So it was really a good place for me to get started,” said Beiber.

But given the amount of paint she uses—she mounds it on with her hand creating great dimension and depth— Bieber soon found she didn’t have enough time in the group to really let her work dry and evaluate before moving to the next phase.

And so began her relationship with Rena Warren, a local artist who is known for her colourful portraits.

As a teacher extraordinaire, who works with people of varying

disabilities as the executive director of the Cool Arts Society, Warren, like Bieber, shares an artistic background, an interest in art and a sense of desire to open the creative world to those with disabilities or different abilities.

On their first session working together they sat across from one another at a table, Bieber working on her creation, Warren sketching Bieber, and they began to co-create an image of what Bieber sees and feels.

The process has been illuminating in a number of ways for both artists and, as Bieber describes it, there’s a bit of a yinyang quality to their work.

Where colour is critical to Warren’s work, one of the more distinctive elements to her portraiture, Bieber never even mixes up a colour.

Although she does remember colours and know what colour she

quite dim because dusk and dawn are kind of my friends. During dusk and dawn, before it’s totally dark and when the sun is down, I can see some shapes and shadows,” she said.

“It wouldn’t be much to most people but there are certain times when the light is just perfect enough that I might be able to see a face.

“I don’t see it the way you see it, but I get enough.”

A minute later she jokes that the true beauty of her world is that everyone looks beautiful.

“I have a vivid visual imagination,” she said.

“Even though I can’t physically see you, I have an image in my mind of who I am speaking to.

“That’s the whole beauty of my world is everybody looks fabulous because I can control it.”

Ruth Bieber is the curator of Just Imagine, opening Friday evening in the Kelowna Art Gallery.

An exhibit of her own collaborative painting with Kelowna-based artist Rena Warren is now on in the Rotary Centre for the Arts on the second floor.

Warren has extended the collaborative concept to the work she does with her Cool Arts artists.

Warren is quite exacting with her work, doing representational images that stick closely to form, where Bieber often paints what she feels doing fire, water, or a woman drowning by how she experiences the subject.

“Communication has been key with us,” said Warren.

“I’ve had to learn to think and communicate in a different style and I’ve found I often use a lot of really visual language.”

She’s also discovered how to relinquish control in her work.

“In my own personal work, I have complete control whereas in collaborative, you’ve got to give life or let the other side breath,” she said.

This is a lesson Bieber learned early.

She started losing her sight at six years old, retaining memory of what images look like but seeing very little to back those memories up.

“I have a very, very strange visual experience that’s extremely complicated,” she explained.

“For the most part, I see too much light, which eliminates everything.

Experts extol virtues of B.C. natural gas Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Two industry experts were in Kelowna Thursday as part of an education series aimed at highlighting the benefits associated with natural gas.

Gary Weilinger, vice-president of strategic development and external affairs for Spectra Energy, and Douglas Stout, vice-president of energy solutions and external relations for FortisBC, spoke at the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce’s Thursday luncheon.

“There is a fundamental opportunity to create a much bigger awareness and understanding in terms of opportunities we’re going to be seeing in the province in the next decade and beyond,” said Weilinger.

“Our message is to improve and increase that level of awareness.”

Most of the presentation focused on the economic benefits of natural gas. According to Weilinger, natural gas produces over $29 billion in exports and $1.5 trillion in annual economic activity across the country.

“B.C. stands to benefit significantly from this… in British Columbia we now have well over 100

years of supply.”

Both Weilinger and Stout focused on opportunities associated with liquified natural gas.

“LNG is a way to get B.C. natural gas to a very anxiously awaiting Asian market. It’s really gamechanging in terms of the opportunity to create jobs in B.C.” One person asked how much of the current production is being attained through hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking”—a practice condemned by some due to environmental effects on water, carbon emissions and disruption to wildlife.

Weilinger admitted fracking—or unconventional gas production—is a quickly growing trend.

“There is a significant trend away from conventional gas production over to unconventional because it’s ubiquitous.”

Weilinger and Stout will be in Fort St. John later in the month to deliver a similar message.

“We have a resource here to develop—we need to do that if we’re going to have a viable economy in the long run,” said Stout.

“That is the real reason behind our initiative here, to help stimulate that discussion. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Judie Steeves

here’s good news this week from biologist Brian Harris about wildlife counts the ministry has been conducting for the past month or so.

Numbers of all ungulates, including goats, are up in the Okanagan Mountain Park area, as browse has improved after the 2003 wildfire opened up the habitat there and returned it to grasslands.

In fact, he thinks an open season for bighorns may be opened to hunting in 2014, as numbers from the group transplanted a few years ago have grown into a self-sustaining population.

There are also continual sightings of wolves around the Okanagan.

Harris tells the story of

JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS

A GROUP of California bighorn sheep from the Shorts Creek herd take the risk of

being run over in the middle of Westside Road in their eagerness to be counted in as part of the province’s efforts to manage them. a colleague from Washington who radio-collared a young female wolf in the Lake Chelan area last year.

In a matter of weeks, that wolf had walked to Penticton, where she hung around for a week, then she went on another walk to the north end of Shuswap Lake, and then ended up in Revelstoke where she was killed raiding a chicken coup in a farmer’s yard.

She covered astonishing distances in a short period of time.

Harris says it’s even more surprising that it was a female, not a male

wolf who made the long trek.

Wildlife will be changing their habits now that winter has finally arrived this week, and motorists can expect to see more deer near roadways as they try to forage away from the deep snow at higher elevations.

Be warned to keep your eyes peeled at likely locations for deer or you could find yourself upside down in your vehicle like one chap in a truck did up in the Joe Rich area Wednesday morning.

The deer had to be put down, but the driver survived.

Conservation Officer Ed Seitz also warns dog owners to keep control of their pets so they don’t chase deer.

It’s a particular concern as a combination of thawing, rain and refreezing causes a crust to form on the snow that permits dogs to run on top, but deer to break through.

It’s not only illegal, you could face a fine and the animal could be shot by authorities for running wildlife.

UPCOMING

On a happier note, there’s a family activity planned in Mission Creek regional park this Saturday that sounds like fun: Explore the Snow, 1 to 3 p.m. It’s free, but pre-registration is required, by calling the EECO or the regional district.

There’ll be door, raffle and auction prizes including several golf packages, a helicopter tour, guided fishing trip, tire package and much more. Tickets are available at Valley Glass in Westbank. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Rita Wong, a water activist and winner of the 2011 CBC Canada Reads Poetry competition, will read from her published poems Monday, Jan. 14, 7 p.m., at the downtown Kelowna library branch.

Wong teaches writing and cultural approaches to water-based ecology at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver. She is the author of three books of poetry: Sybil unrest, forage, and monkeypuzzle. She is also the developer of the collaborative creative project Downstream: A Poetics of Water.

Th free community event is part of the 2012-2013 visiting author series hosted by UBCO, Okanagan Regional Library and the Canada Council for the Arts.

including LPNs, night attendants, dietary staff, housekeepers, clerical workers, and maintenance staff.

Crossroads, which has been operating out of its Rutland area facility for the last 37 years, is $1.3 million in debt, lost its provincial gaming revenue grant last year and says it needs an 85 per cent increase to the amount per bed per day that Interior Health funds.

Currently, IH provides $70 per bed per day for the 38 treatment beds and eight detox beds it funds at the facility. Crossroads says it needs $132 per bed per day.

Despite signing a three-year contract with IH late last year, Crossroads went back looking for more money recently and was told IH could only provide a 30 per cent increase—bringing the amount to about $90 per bed per day.

The Crossroads board said years of running the facility on “next to nothing” had finally caught up with the facility.

A total of 69 workers will lose their jobs and the publicly funded treatment beds and detox beds, normally all occupied, will be lost to the community.

The facility has self pay/privately funded beds as well but board chairman Alan Sanderson said they are not as well used, in part because Crossroads faces stiff competition from “spa-like” treatment centres here and elsewhere in B.C.

and addiction treatment services in the Okanagan.

The Hospital Employees’ Union issued a statement late Tuesday after the Crossroads board announced it was shutting the facility after 37 years in operation.

The key reasons were because of its debt, a loss of some funding and its inability to get Interior Health to increase its funding for the centre to a level Crossroads says it needed to stay open.

Crossroads board said Tuesday it will phase out the detox and addiction treatment over the next three to six months despite high demand for those services.

That would leave the Okanagan without any comprehensive detox and addiction services programs outside a hospital setting, said the union.

The HEU said the resulting gap in services will be unacceptable, and is urging the Crossroads’ board and Interior Health to resolve what the union calls “the underlying funding issues.”

“Leaving Okanagan residents without access to these vital health services is simply not an option,” said HEU secretary-business manager Bonnie Pearson.

“If the funding issues cannot be resolved with the society, the IHA should be prepared to consider other options to maintain these services up to and including taking over the centre’s operations.”

HEU represents about 45 workers at Crossroads

it would participate in Mothers Against Drunk Driving Canada’s Campaign 911. Marked police vehicles now have bumper stickers that read: Report Impaired Drivers, Call 911.

Clark said Kelowna has sufficient resources to deal with the current rate of impaired drivers. However, additional resources could be beneficial.

“Having more would simply mean that we would be targeting more of the dangerous driving behaviour and we’d have time to be proactive and target traffic enforcement more.”

He added numbers tend to increase throughout the summer because some tourists treat Kelowna like a resort town and have little regard for drinking and driving laws.

The Statistics Canada report also indicated the number of impaired female drivers has increased over the past 25 years. In 1986, one in every 13 impaired drivers was female; in 2011 that rate increased to one in six.

Despite the increase in drunk driving, the rate of impaired driving causing death dropped by 29 per cent in 2011, reaching its lowest point in over 25 years.

1,063 incidents in 2011.

Drunk driving rates have increased 76 per cent in the city over the last 10 years.

According to the Statistics Canada report, four of the last five years have shown an increase in impaired driving rates throughout the country.

Police reported 90,277 drunk driving incidents in Canada in 2011, which was 3,000 more than in 2010.

B.C. and Newfoundland and Labrador experienced the highest increases among provinces over the past decade.

Kelowna RCMP Const. Kris Clark admitted drunk driving occurs at an “alarming rate” in Kelowna. But, he noted, statistics can be deceiving.

“There are a number of different ways we can look at those numbers, but I think, despite what the numbers show, we’re still half of what the rates used to be 25 years ago,” said Clark.

He added Kelowna Mounties take road safety seriously.

“We have four detachment priorities and road safety happens to be one of them. We continue to enforce impaired driving laws as well as distracted driving laws—anything that entails dangerous driving behaviours.”

Last month Kelowna RCMP announced

The Okanagan Car Share Co-op will receive a $17,366 grant from the 2012 Community Investment Fund for Interior Savings.

The investment fund provides financial support for organizations that contribute to the social, health and economic wellbeing of communities where Interior Savings operates a branch.

The costs of vehicle ownership can be prohibitive to many people, yet access to a vehicle is sometimes required. Car sharing provides an alternative to ownership by making vehicles available to members on a pay-asyou-go system. Car sharing has become a real alternative to car ownership in cities all across North America, and with this funding, the Okanagan Car Share Co-op hopes to make this a reality in Kelowna.

“The community has been incredibly supportive, and with this funding from Interior Savings we are one step closer to being fully operational and launching our first cars end of March,” said Christian Brandt, executive director of the Okanagan Care Share Co-op.

To increase the impact in the community, the co-op is ramping up the membership drive and is hoping to deliver three cars to the community by spring.

“Membership numbers are increasing and now we need 30 to 40 more in order for us to go ahead and put cars on the road,” said Angela Reid-Nagy, co-founder and president of the Okanagan Car Share Co-op.

Rockets home streak stands as Kelowna hosts Tri-City Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

For the last three months, Prospera Place has pretty much been a wasteland for opponents of the Kelowna Rockets.

On Friday night, the Tri-City Americans will be the latest team to take a stab at halting Kelowna’s dominance on home ice.

The Rockets, who have won 16 consecutive games at home–and seven in a row overall—have taken up residence at the top of the B.C. Division for the first time this season, two points ahead of the Kamloops Blazers.

The Americans, coming off a 3-1 win over the Blazers on Wednesday, are the only team to have handed the Rockets two losses this season—both 3-2 setbacks in November in Kennewick, Wash.

Kelowna partially returned the favour with a 3-2 victory of their own over the visiting Ams on

Nov. 28 at Prospera.

In the Americans (2315-1-2), head coach Ryan Huska said the Rockets will a face a skilled group that can be challenge to contain.

“They’re a team that plays the game at a very high pace and they do a lot of different things that make them a hard team to defend against,” Huska said of Tri-City.”They gave us a tough time last time they were here, so we have to be focused and ready to play a very good team game against them.”

Kelowna rung up its 30th win of the season on Wednesday with a 6-1 drubbing of the Victoria Royals. The Rockets (3010-1-1) won 31 games all of last season.

Thanks to a recurring theme of forward-line depth and a scoring-by-committee approach, six different Rockets tallied in the victory over the Royals. Kelowna has outscored its

opponents 39-16 in the seven wins since Christmas.

“That’s been such a big part of our success, that everybody really feels like they’re a part of this,” Huska said. “When everybody is contributing like our guys have been doing, you’re going to have success.

The club’s recent success has also pushed the Rockets into the Canadian Hockey League’ top 10 rankings.

After being listed eighth the previous week, Kelowna is currently ranked No. 5 in all of major junior hockey by a panel of NHL scouts.

“It’s a real honour to be listed, but it’s not something we talk a lot about,” Huska said. “We realize there are a lot of great teams across the CHL and WHL that are on that list, and if you have tough week, you can be knocked out of there just as fast as you got on there.”

VS. GAME BROUGHT TO YOU BY:

Marcus Basara didn’t necessarily expect to be leading the West Kelowna Warriors in scoring four months into the BCHL season.

Still, being counted on by his teammates on a nightly basis is a role the 19-year-old from Coquitlam is more than comfortable with.

“It’s always fun to be a guy that’s relied on by your team, to help your team win,” said the 6-foot,185-pound Basara.

“I set that challenge for myself every day that I go to the rink, I want to be a player that my coaches and teammates really depend on. So far this year it’s been going pretty well.”

In 35 games this season, Basara has a team-leading 20 goals and 42 points.

That’s already one point more than he registered in all of 2011-12, while splitting the season between the Vernon Vipers and the Warriors.

With lengthy absences due to injuries to players such as veterans Max French and Brett McKinnon, Basara’s contribu-

tions have been heartily welcomed by the Warriors.

Acquired in a trade with the Vipers last December, Basara has stepped his game up to a new level this season, thanks both to his experience and his overall skill set.

“He’s such a strong skater, probably one of the best in our league,” said Warriors head coach and GM Rylan Ferster. “He’s super skilled, too, he has great ability one-on-one, and he does some pretty neat things out there with the puck.

“He’s a third-year guy we’re going to lean on a little bit as the season winds down,” added Ferster.

His desire to pursue a hockey career took Basara far away from the comforts of his family when he was just 15. Basara spent two seasons—his Grade 10 and 11 years— at Notre Dame College in Wilcox, Sask., before returning to B.C. to join the Vernon Vipers for the 2010-11 BCHL season.

Last season, his travels paid off in the form of a scholarship with the University of Alaska-Fairbanks, where he’ll head

for the start of the 2013-14 campaign.

As for more immediate business, Basara hopes to make a major contribution down the stretch as the Warriors look to secure a playoff spot in the BCHL’s Interior Division.

With just four teams making the post season and the race currently tighter than a drum, every game is crucial. Basara has confidence in his teammates to get the job done.

“Every game within the conference from here on in matters, they’ll be like four-point games,” said Basara, who wore the C for several games for the Warriors during the absence of captain Max French.

“It’s going to be tough, but I feel like we have a really good team and we’ll find a way to make a push over the next few weeks. We’re starting to get healthy, and I think once we get most of our guys back, we’ll be in good shape.”

Basara and the Warriors will host the Powell River Kings Friday at Royal LePage, before heading to Trail on Saturday to play the Smoke Eaters in a key inter-divisional matchup.

The Chiefs travel to Armstrong for a game tonight (Friday), putting a modest two game winning streak on the line against the North Okanagan Knights.

The Chiefs are in a tight, three-team battle for top spot in the KIJHL’s Okanagan Division. Currently the team sits in third place with a 23-13-1-0 record, just one point behind Princeton and two points behind first place Osoyoos.

The Chiefs began the new year with a pair of wins, beating Princeton in overtime last weekend and shutting out Penticton at home.

Kelowna’s next home game is Friday, Jan. 18 against Princeton.

n▼

Canada, including those who train at the Callaghan Valley National Development Centre in Whistler, are competing after just returning from the Junior and U23 World trials in Thunder Bay. The objective of the Teck B.C. Cup series is to bring skiers from all over the province together three times during the season for a weekend of competition and fun. Points are accumulated over the three BC cup races with

aggregate awards presented at the end of the season.

Saturday’s races are sprint format. Individual qualifiers starting at 9 a.m. determine the starting position for sprint heats.

Designed for maximum spectator enjoyment, the heats see fast-paced racing with as many as six skiers abreast.

Racers have to be fast out of the gate, try to get in front and stay focused as passing on a tight course

can cause caught edges and wipe-outs with a sideby-side sprint to the finish.

The top skiers in each heat move up within their category while the bottom skiers move down to ski against other skiers from other heats.

Sunday morning’s event starting at 10 a.m. consists of an individual start free (skate style) race. Distances range from 1km for the youngest participants to 10km for the Masters Men.

CLOSE TO 300 skiers from across B.C. will be at Telemark this weekend for the Teck B.C. Cup cross country races.

But we didn’t bring two kids all the way across the country to eat diner food.

They wanted to ride.

But first, they waited.

We arrived at the park promptly at 8 a.m. but apparently didn’t run quite fast enough to the Fast Pass line (which gives you a designated time to show

up at your ride). We waited till almost 9 to get our tickets. And when could we ride? Between 4:35 and 5:35.

I suggested we check out the general admission line. Hah! That was showing a wait of 150 minutes (and I’ve read that it sometimes stretches four hours).

By a little before 1 p.m., the Fast Pass tickets were gone for the day.

TRAVEL ▼ DISNEYLAND

Cars Land proving to be a popular attraction since opening Cars from A20

Could any ride be that good?

With plenty of time before Racers, we checked out other Cars -Land rides. r Mater’s Junkyard dJamboree, a whipping ride behind tiny tractors, had a 45-minute wait (not kbad by Disney standards), nbut our 7-year-old was -done with lines after a day -at Legoland. t Instead, we wanrdered to nearby A Bug’s Land, where rides clear1ly for the younger set had sno wait and the spinning .Lady Bug Boogie was almost as much fun as Mat1er looked (extra points if you’d prefer jive to country music).

We had time to thoroughly explore Paradise Pier, with an enchanting Little Mermaid ride that our six-yearold rode twice; eat a better-than-average theme park lunch at a Mediterranean grill, and make the 1:20 performance of Aladdin over in Hollywood Land—a 45-minute cruise-ship-style show with enough to entertain kids and adults.

After a blessed hour in the air-conditioning, we faced Cars Land again.

No luck at the attraction’s third ride, Luigi’s Flying Tires, where 90 minutes seemed too long to wait for a couple of minutes on the airborne bumper cars.

Instead, we checked out an impromptu show

over at Flo’s, where waitresses and mechanics put on a fun dance party with kids getting to help with the car wash.

And finally, it was time to make our way to the Racers.

It was only five minutes between hitting the line and making our way into one of the six-seat cars that race you through the impressive mountain range that serves as the backdrop to Cars Land.

The ride started slowly, with an almost leisurely drive through the mountains—the car even slowed down a touch to give us a look at a stunning waterfall.

But then night descended and characters from the movie started

dashing out of the dark to narrowly miss head-on collisions.

Eventually, we ended up in Ramone’s, where the car seemed to get a glowing new paint job (other riders take a different turn and go to Luigi’s for new tires).

Back into the daylight, another car shows up at our side, and when we get the flag, the race is on.

Suddenly, you’re speeding through the course, around some slightly terrifying embankments that have you riding on your side, not to mention some serious bumps in the road.

It was over too fast and, honestly, I don’t know whether we beat the other car or not. “That was

awesome,” screamed my little guy.

As for me, I wanted to immediately go again.

And if the wait hadn’t been 90 minutes, I probably would have.

IF YOU GO

Disney California Adventure Park, 1313 S. Disneyland Drive, Anaheim, CA 92802. 714781-4636. disneyland.disney.go.com Tickets: $81-$87 for California Adventure; $119-$125 for a park-hopper ticket, plus $15 parking fee *** Disney’s Cars Land isn’t the only news in California theme parks this year. Here are a couple more hot tickets.

TRANSFORMERS

Universal Studios Hollywood, 100 Universal City Plaza, Universal City. 800-864-8377. universalstudioshollywood. com We felt our kids were too little to appreciate Universal, although our 7-year-old loves the Transformers movies as much as he did Cars when he was two.

But numerous reviews put the ride at the top of their lists. The dark, indoor motion simulator is surrounded by massive 3-D screens, so expect a Decepticon to land on your vehicle or to be ground up by Devastator as the ride pitches, spins and vibrates.

MANTA

Sea World, 500 Sea World Dr., San Diego.

800-257-4268. seaworldsandiego.com A massive roller coaster with a couple of big splashes, the ride is designed to take you into the world of gliding, dipping rays.

Anything that goes upside down is an automatic no for our family, but it’s a hit with the rest of the world (hourlong lines both times we visited the park).

Our little ones were much happier petting and feeding the actual rays in a nearby tank.

You auto swing by!

Haul on down to the re-imagined Disney California Adventure Park at the Disneyland Resort for a tow-riffic time in the all-new Cars Land—where the Disney•Pixar Cars film comes roaring to life with fun for the “en-tire” family!

NEWS

Nominees sought for Gert Beadle Award “I believe that a woman’s relationship with women is more important than any other relationship today, for through it we find ourselves, find our power, find our heart and have the courage to risk again and again for a more human world.”

—Gert Beadle, 1989 Kelowna’s Gert Beadle was a trail blazer at a time when most communities readily ostracized women who defied social proprieties.

Beadle was a champion of equality and justice for women.

Her dedication to improving women’s lives earned her the Order of Canada and the Persons Award and is timelessly preserved in four published works of poetry, the proceeds of which she funneled back into the community.

Empowering women is this inspirational woman’s legacy, one which the Central Okanagan Women’s Resource and Edu-

cation Foundation continues to keep alive with the prestigious Gert Beadle award.

This endowment honours a local woman—or group of women—who share Beadle’s tireless dedication and commitment to working with her sisters to promote equality for all women.

Do you know someone who fits the bill?

A woman, or group of women, who embodies the standards of Beadle, who championed the first women’s shelter in the country, who was honoured by her country and dubbed Canada’s “most liberated grandmother” by a CBC radio commentator?

If so, the Gert Beadle Award nomination committee is currently seeking award nominations.

Candidates can be an individual woman 18 years or older or a women’s group or organization. Nomination packages are available via email (cowref@gmail.com) and

DIANE CABRAL/CONTRIBUTOR

SNOW ART…

The Cabral family on Quilchena Drive in the Upper Mission took advantage of the snowfall this week to create their own snow sculpture Ogopogo in the front yard. In the photo are (from left) Sofia Cabral, 4, Isabella Cabral, 5, Joshua Cabral, 6, and their friend Lindsay Kirtzinger, 4. must be submitted by Feb. 25, 2013.

The award will celebrate a local woman or women who a panel of judges feels best reflect

Beadle’s motivating energy and inspiration.

The winner will be announced at the International Women’s Day celebration planned for March

8, 2013.

For more details or to request a nomination package, email cowref@ gmail.com or check out the Facebook page for

Central Okanagan Women’s Resource & Education Foundation.

Past award winners have included: • Eileen Robinson,

• Elizabeth Woods, • Elna Von Dach, • Ruth Mellor, • Diane Wilkinson.

• Sharon Shepherd.

The relationship between hope and advanced health care examined by UBCO prof The relationship between hope and advance care planning will be the topic of a lecture by UBC Okanagan professor Carol Robinson on Tuesday,

Jan. 22, 10 a.m.

Robinson is an associat professor with the UBCO’s School of Nursing in the faculty of health and social development.

Concerns have been identified in academic literature that advance care planning, which involves frank discussion about end-of-life issues, has the

potential to negatively affect hope. Such concerns lead to clinical tension between the ideals of palliative care, supporting hope and communicat-

ing truthfully. Robinson’s presentation will support the position that the foundation of hope is not the issue, but rather the relevance of hope to clinical

practice.

Robinson’s lecture will take place at the University Centre (Peter J. Meekison Centre for Students), room 334, at the

UBCO campus. The free lecture will also be available via teleconference.

See advancedcareplanning.eventbrite.ca for more information.

▼ NHL & MUSIC

Hockey players and local singer both unlocked from adversity

W

hile Canada’s national pastime is back with the end of the National Hockey League lockout, the question is, however, for how many folks is the decision past their time of caring?

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, team owners, and players collectively managed to tick off thousands of hockey fans across North America and the damage done to the reputation of the game supersedes all the effort to build hockey States-side since Edmonton traded Wayne Gretzky to LA. From a PR perspective, the labour dispute was as smart as skating on cement. Greed on all parts reared its ugly head and bit the sport in its padded pants – and rightfully so.

The NHL’s stubbornness and stupidity hurt fans and those workers and employees who garner an income from the spin-off industries such as rink employees, concession workers, vendors, sports stores and pubs much

more than players and owners.

The whole scenario reminds me of Howie Meeker’s comment years ago: “Hockey is still the greatest game Charlie in the world despite the Hodge idiots who run it.”

Like many fans, I’m fed up with the ongoing prima-donna attitude of many athletes. Fans, however, must also shoulder some of the burden of stupidity since we are the ones who’ve created heroes out of the likes of athletes, rock-stars, actors—instead of real life heroes such as ambulance attendants and firefighters.

But all mumbling aside, I’m thrilled hockey is back and largely support the players in this latest goaround. I can’t wait to watch the Vancouver Canucks back on the screen instead of suffering though reams of nauseating reality television and silly sitcoms.

Instead, we now get to watch such dramas as the Robert Luongo sweepstakes, the Brian Burke Looks for

HODGE PODGE

Work Show, and the Gary Bettman Eats Crow comedy.

Within one day of announcing that hockey is back a myriad of new questions have arisen. Will Luongo go to Toronto now that Burke is gone?

Will the Canucks finally make a deal to move them to the Stanley Cup or flounder while Edmonton Oilers climb the standings?

Here’s a couple predictions. If Luongo does not go to Toronto by Saturday, he’ll wind up traded to Philadelphia or Tampa Bay, but not Florida.

Edmonton’s Justin Schultz, from West Kelowna, will win rookie of the year – not overall first pick Nail Yakupov or any others.

The best part of the lockout ending is that talk and theory is over and the game will be decided where it belongs…on the ice.

Somebody drop the puck.

••• It’s been a long road back but come Saturday, Jan. 19, Riley Russell will step up to a microphone at Duffers Banquet Hall at Mission Creek Golf Course and do what she loves best—sing.

A year ago, the 19-year old was hit head-on by an impaired driver following a band rehearsal. The crash nearly killed Riley.

She sustained two broken ankles, broken feet, and compound fractures to both femurs, and internal and facial injuries.

Riley has courageously battled back in the effort to be reunited with her band The Hits.

Joining Russell on the upcoming evening of music will be three other bands from the Wentworth music program.

Funds raised from the event will assist Riley and her band to travel to Nelson, where they will perform and receive transfer credits to Selkirk College’s Music and Technology program.

Tickets for the Return of Riley Russell Concert are available at Wentworth Music. Doors open at 6 p.m., show time 7 p.m.

For more information contact Noel at 250-860-2251 or email noelwentworth@shaw.ca ••• Speaking of beautiful music, have

you visited the newest music store in town—Milkcrate Records?

Owner manager Peter Jeffery officially opened the doors to his funky record store located at 1551 Ellis St. downtown in April.

The small but quaint store is jammed to the rafters with a massive collection of good old vinyl records.

I did a double-take recently when strolling down the road and noticing the store. It was a flashback for this old kid.

Milkcrate Records is in the exact location (and eerily similar in look and layout) as the infamous Music Box owned years ago by the popular Gordon Bromley.

As a teenager and young adult, the Music Box was the place to go buy Beatles records (or whatever funky band was hip at the time).

Paramount music was the local hotspot for buying instruments, but the Music Box was the place to find the latest 45, 33 or even an occasional 78.

Do yourself a favour and pop into the Milkcrate and check out Peter’s superb music collection.

ior trim.

The cabin of the CEtrimmed Corolla is fairly basic with easy-to-use controls.

The two-tone colour scheme is attractive and the seats proved to be comfortable, even after our four-hour drive to visit friends during the holiday season.

Trunk capacity of 348 litres (12.3 cu ft) is average for this segment. We had the car loaded up for a four-day stay at our friends’ home and ended up folding down the rear seat for even more cargo room.

On the highway, once up to speed the Corolla

cabin is quiet and the ride is soft and cushy. We didn’t push the car into corners at all during our test period, but from previous experience in earlier Corollas, I know that this isn’t the car’s strength.

I could easily live with the Corolla on a day-today basis, but there are so many great vehicles in this entry-level class today, that the choice would be a difficult one if I were in the market.

But, no matter what you decide on, be sure to put the Corolla on your shopping list because even after all these years, it still has a lot to offer in the way of basic, affordable transportation.

DRIVE METHOD: front-engine, front-wheel drive.

ENGINE: 1.8-litre litre four-cylinder (132 hp and 128 lb/ft of torque) with five-speed manual or four-speed automatic.

Dodge Grand Caravan still a leader amongst minivans Lorne Drury CONTRIBUTED

Every time I get behind the wheel of a minivan, I am left wondering why their popularity has fallen off the proverbial cliff.

I guess it’s probably the “soccer mom’ image that has turned people off or perhaps many have just moved on from the boxy styling to the more curvaceous look of today’s crossovers.

For me, though, I would have no hesitation parking a minivan in my driveway if I had a growing family.

As I have said before in this space, minivans are just so practical and easy to use.

When you have lots of passengers and cargo to transport, the minivan is ethe way to go. e And while there are ofar fewer choices in this rsegment than there used to be, the old reliable Dodge rGrand Caravan continues to lead the way in minivan sales in Canada as it has hdone for 28 straight years.

-It is the biggest selling ominivan of all time and sagain a top-five best-sell,ing vehicle in Canada dureing 2012.

So for 2013, the Grand Caravan has only mintor changes and is offered in five models, starting at $19,895. e Our tester was the ,Crew Plus model that sits nnear the top of the Grand

Caravan hierarchy. It was heavily optioned with more than $10,000 in addons, bringing the window sticker price as tested with destination charges ($1,500) to $46,120.

However, Chrysler Canada has a consumer cash promotion on now that will bring the price down considerably.

The Grand Caravan seats seven and offers Chrysler’s versatile and functional second-row seats that fold flat into the floor.

They are now called Super Stow ‘n Go because they have been refined even further and can be folded flat in less than five seconds with one hand and a simple pull on a lever. This is offered on all trim levels except the base SE Canada Value Package model.

Our tester also had the optional power third-row seats ($650) that folded flat at the touch of a switch just inside the power liftgate. A very handy touch, I found when we needed the extra cargo space in back.

All Grand Caravans come with a 3.6-litre 24-valve DOHC Pentastar V6 engine, combined with a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine makes a respectable 283 hp and 260 lb/ ft of torque. Fuel economy is rated at 12.2 L/100 km city (23 mpg) and 7.9 L/100 km highway (36 mpg).

CONTRIBUTED

THE DODGE GRAND CARAVAN is the best selling minivan of all time, and although minivan sales have dropped off considerably over the years, it continues to be one of the top five best-selling vehicles in Canada. The 2013 model has few changes from 2012.

The base SE Canada Value Package offers 16-inch wheels, air conditioning, second row bench seat with third-row Stow ‘n Go, four-wheel antilock disc brakes, seven airbags, power windows/locks/ mirrors, remote keyless entry, steering wheel mounted cruise

and audio controls, stability control and more.

SXT adds second row Super Stow ‘n Go seats and storage, third-row Stow ‘n Go with tailgate seats, and black side roof rails with integrated crossbars among other features.

With the Grand Caravan Crew you move up

to 17-inch aluminum wheels, power adjustable pedals, automatic temperature control, eightway power driver’s seat, second row power windows and third row quarter-vented windows. The Crew Plus offers dual sliding power doors, power liftgate, heated leath-

er seats, 6.5-inch touch screen media centre with rear view backup camera, Sirius satellite radio and ambient interior lighting.

The top-shelf R/T features a distinctive exterior look, 17-inch satin carbon aluminum wheels, special premium leather seats with red accent stitching,

an upgraded nine-speaker audio system, a unique suspension, heated steering wheel and secondrow seats and U-connect hands-free communications with Bluetooth streaming audio.

Grand Caravan has come a long way since 1984 Dodge from B3 The Grand Caravan has certainly come a long way from its beginnings back in 1984 and nowhere is that more evident than in the interior that is much more plush and upscale than ever before.

One of the best features of the Grand Caravan is its versatility as a people and/or cargo hauler.

It is so easy now to fold the second- and thirdrow seats into the floor to create to create 4,072 litres (143.8 cu litres) of cargo room or 2,359 litres (83.3 cu ft) behind the second-row seats. Behind the third-row seats alone there is 934 litres (33 cu ft) of cargo space.

The seats are supportive and the heating function on the leather seats was appreciated on a couple of chilly November mornings during our test period.

Our vehicle had the

optional Entertainment Group #2 option ($1,750) that included both secondand third-row overhead

nine-inch video screens with a single disc DVD player and wireless headphones.

On the road, the Grand Caravan eats up the kilometers easily and smoothly. With 283 hp, the V6 engine provides a good combination of power and fuel economy.

This is not a vehicle that provides an inspired driving experience, but it is certainly comfortable and easy to drive for

long-distance road trips.

The steering column has both tilt and telescopic features so it is easy to get a comfortable driving position, although I would prefer that the seat had more fore and aft travel.

There just wasn’t quite enough legroom for my liking; shorter drivers would have no such problem.

To sum it up, the Grand Caravan is a versatile, comfortable family vehicle.

Price-wise it is hard to beat if you don’t load it up with expensive optional equipment.

With its steady sales again this year, the Grand Caravan demonstrates that the minivan concept may have lost some of its luster, but still provides a solid option for busy families on the go.

Two Golfs—too tough to choose Rob Beintema CONTRIBUTOR

CONTRIBUTED

REPRESENTING just two of the many choices in VW’s 2013 Golf lineup are two contenders – a Golf TDI Highline five-door hatchback in

Candy White on the left and a Golf Wagon 2.5 Sportline in Platinum Grey Metallic on the right.

T h e N e W 2 013 A W D F O R e S T e R

here’s a $2,000 cure for cold symptoms.

Limited time cash incentives.

There’s a tendency to take the Volkswagen Golf for granted.

It’s been around, after all, since 1974 when the new lineup replaced the retired, or should I say, extremely tired original VW Beetle.

The Golf (or Rabbit, or Caribe, depending on time, country and marketing whims) has evolved through six generations since then and it is steadily creeping up on a global sales mark of 30 million.

The Golf itself may not have seeded the origin of the species, but it definitely took hatchback design from being unique to being ubiquitous. Which is a fancy way of saying there are a lot of the darned things on the road.

You don’t really notice this until you’re behind the wheel of one yourself.

And then you start spotting the familiar VW emblem just about every-

where.

That six generation span has branched the Golf family tree out into a wide spread of variations, including threedoor models, five-door models and station wagons, all available in a variety of trim and technology levels.

There are normally aspirated versions powered by a 170 hp 2.5-litre five-cylinder engine.

There are fuel-efficient diesel models harnessing 140 hp 2.0-litre TDI four-cylinder motors.

And there are pocket rocket versions – the GTI with its 200 hp 2.0-litre TSI turbocharged motor and the Golf R, an uber-hot hatch brought to North America last year with a tweaked 256 hp version of the 2.0-litre TSI turbo four.

I felt instantly at home in the Golf, probably because I just got out of a

Diesel engine option is thrifty on gas but there are some deterrents

Jetta, a vehicle that may have diverged somewhat from its “Golf-with-atrunk” origins, but that is nstill more alike than difeferent.

So, with such a broad swath of choices, it’s hard to do the Golf justice. But rwe can at least zero in on two specific, and rather -practical examples within -the brand.

2013 VW Golf TDI yHighline five-door: - The Golf five-door model comes in with a .starting price of $21,475 tand is available in three -trim levels—Trendline, Comfortline and Highline. t The Golf diesel TDI version may be thrifty but eit is not cheap. The diesel -option first comes availnable at the mid-range oComfortline level and it radds a $2,400 premium to pthat trim price.

As tested here, bolstered further in all of eits Highline glory, this vehicle comes in Candy aWhite with a Titan Black Vienna leather interior with all the fixings for 7$31,685. That includes $1,400 for the DSG automatic tranny and $890 for the RNS 315 Navigation System.

Features at this all-inclusive trim level include heated sport seats, power heated mirrors, power windows, power locks, power sunroof, Bluetooth connectivity, eight-speaker Premium 8 audio, 17inch alloy wheels and a long list of other standards. And among the handy features in the nav system is a search mode that will pinpoint the nearest diesel-fueling centres.

Not that you will need it that often with a roughly 1000 km range.

The diesel starts immediately without any glow plug drama. The diesel drone is a noticeable presence, especially at idle, and even at speed.

But it’s a background rumble that’s easy to live with and there’s none of the annoying pots-andpans clatter of earlier versions.

The 140 hp rating may not sound all that impressive compared to the base engine numbers but, as with all diesels, it’s the torque that matters.

There’s an initial acceleration lag that seems common to all Volkswagens and then the 236 lb/ft of grunt, peaking early at a low 1750-2500 rpm, gets things up and moving.

The Golf TDI boasts fuel efficiency that ri-

vals hybrid competitors with its rating of 6.7/4.7L/100km (city/ hwy).

I did my best to com-

plement the TDI’s strong suit by accelerating gently, backing off of the throttle to encourage upshifts, and coasting to stops.

My combined driving included everything from highway runs to stop-andgo traffic but, after burning through a tank of fuel,

my average still came in as a very respectable 6.6L/100km.

Diesel factors to keep in mind include

the occasional scarcity of diesel fuelling stations, the greasier, stinkier pumps that your wife won’t exactly enjoy and a

floating price level that is sometimes less than regu-

based on their personal driving demands.

2013 VW Golf Wagon 2.5 Sportline: The 2013 Golf Wagon lineup starts at $22,795.

The extra $1,500, compared to the five-door hatchback starting price, pays for a car that is 355 mm longer (14 in).

Most of that translates into extra storage room. The cargo space measures 930 litres (32.8 cu.ft.) expanding to 1,890 litres (66.9 cu.ft.) with the second row folded forward.

That’s substantially larger than the fivedoor hatchback’s 420 litres (14.8 cu ft) or 1,310 litres (46.3 cu ft) with the second row down.

The wagon is also marginally heavier, but the extra 68 kg (150 lb) doesn’t make a dent on the standard 2.5-litre, five-cylinder engine’s abilities.

Fuel economy with this base 170 hp mill is rated at 9.1/6.5L/100km (city/hwy). As usual, my mileage comes closer to the city rating, working out to 9.3L/100km (comb) although I was handily managing 6.8l/100km averages on highway runs.

This base powerplant is more than satisfactory, maybe not as thrifty as the TDI diesel or as hyperactive as the TSI turbo version, but it still managed to pull off a matchup with the Sportline trim tested here.

Although not up to scale with the previous Highline tester – cloth instead of leather and less do-dads – this Sportline Wagon does come with some upscale features including a Panoramic power sunroof over the first and second rows, 10-speaker audio and sport touches like alloy pedals, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, along with love-‘emor-leave-‘em 18-inch Bilbao alloy wheels.

At $29,375, that Sportline package bumps the price up a bit and a less-equipped Trendline or Comfortline at a lower cost would fit in just as well for the usual wagon chores of family weekend getaways or trips to the leash-free dog park.

These were only two

sample flavours from the varied Volkswagen Golf menu with many others to be considered. And there are a few other points to keep in mind.

The five-door Sportline version was dropped this year to make room for a Wolfsburg edition coming later this spring with many of the same sporty cues.

The next generation Golf Mk7, already being tested in Europe, will probably arrive on our shores by the spring of 2014, maybe as a 2015 model. It will be accompanied by a new GTI, and possibly, a new Cabriolet model.

And, if the Jetta hybrid, now arriving in Canada, does well enough, we may see a Golf hybrid following behind. Who knows, maybe even a plug-in version a year after that?

A lot of that will depend on customer reaction but, as noted in the beginning of the story, the way Canadian customers have embraced the Volkswagen Golf in all of its many models and forms, anything seems possible.

Pick real estate Energy efficient spray foam catching on option that fits your lifestyle B ▼ INSULATION

A growing number of homeowners are investing in spray foam insulation since it offers an array of benefits that traditional insulation materials can’t provide.

With longevity and eco-friendly qualities, spray foam insulation is an energy efficient material that minimizes heating and cooling costs.

IT STAYS IN PLACE

Expanding up to 100 times its volume when applied, spray foam insulation fills in gaps that might otherwise cause air leakage.

Traditional insulation types such as cellulose and fibreglass are usually loosely packed, which could lead to drafty spots throughout the home.

Such spots can lead to higher than expected heating and cooling bills.

GREENER MATERIAL

Spray foam insulation is an eco-friendly product and helps keep allergens

CONTRIBUTED

WITH longevity and eco-friendly qualities, spray foam insulation is an energy-efficient material that minimizes heating and cooling costs. and pollutants outside for a healthier and cleaner indoor environment, making it a smart choice for those who suffer from allergies.

MOULD PROTECTION

Traditional insulation materials absorb water, which can lead to structural damage and mould build-up over the long-

term.

Spray foam insulation allows water to pass through, allowing homeowners to address any structural issues and pre-

venting the formation of mildew, moisture and mould.

▼ OF PRIME INTEREST

RRSP withdrawal an option for buying a new home The RRSP Home Buyer Plan allows you to withdraw funds interest free for 15 years from your registered retirement savings plan to buy or build a principal residence home.

The program is eligible for people who are first-time home buyers and in which a spouse or common law spouse has not owned a principal residence home over the previous five years.

To qualify for withdrawuing RRSP funds, the applicant must use the home as their principal residence in Canada within one year of completing the purchase.

As well, applicants must be

residents of Canada for the period between the date of withdrawal of RRSP funds and the closing date of the home purchase.

The home can be new from the builder or resale. At the time of the RRSP withdrawal, applicants must not owe any money to an RRSP for a similar prior borrowing.

As well, the RRSP funds must have been on deposit for at least 90 days before being eligible for withdrawal under this program.

The RRSP funds can’t be withdrawn later than 30 days after the house purchase is completed and multiple withdrawals must be made in the same calendar year or

in January of the next year.

The funds can be applied to the down payment, land transfer tax, legal fees and disbursements, improvements to the home, even furniture and appliances.

Applicants can borrow up to a maximum of $25,000 from their RRSP. The maximum for two spouses (or any two buyers) is $50,000.

Any such qualified withdrawal from RRSP is not subject to tax at time of withdrawal.

After an initial grace period of the year from which the withdrawal was made plus the following calendar year, applicants are required to pay back the funds

borrowed over a period of 15 years, depositing a minimum of 1/15th of the amount withdrawn annually to your RRSP. Prepayments are allowed at any time without penalty.

However, if you miss a payment for any given year, it will be included in your taxable income for that year.

Trish Balaberde, 250-4708324, trishb@kelownahomemortgages.ca; Darwyn Sloat, 250718-4117, dsloat@kelownahomemortgages.ca; and Kristin Rosdal, 250-878-3007, kristin@ kelownahomemortgages.ca.

ecoming a homeowner is one of the largest investments we will ever make so it’s easy to become overwhelmed, but it’s also important to explore all of your options when house hunting to help decide what type of housing best suits your needs Aside from location, housing type is one of the most important decisions facing a home buyer—measuring the pros and cons of a condominium against a single-family detached REAL ESTATE home.

There are different RUNDOWN factors to consider when making that decision, but the answer tends to come down to one’s individual lifestyle needs.

Ceinwen Is having a backyard Morgan for you to use freely, vital to you? Is no longer having the hassle of snow removal and yard work more ideal? Each option has their benefits.

A great advantage of owning a single family home is the extra outdoor and indoor living space for the family to utilize. As well, owning your own home allows for changes to be made without the written approval of a strata counsel. For first-time home buyers, taking on the responsibility of maintaining the working order of a single family dwelling can feel overwhelming, so a condo might be the better option to get you into the market and ease into home ownership.

As a buyer considering a condominium, be sure to become knowledgeable of the restrictions and regulations that some condo developments may have and always consider the longevity of the development’s contingency fund.

Condominium sales were up 15 per cent for December compared to the same month last year.

However, last month there were 80 single-family homes sold in the Central Okanagan, one of lowest sales numbers during December over the last six years.

In previous years, the real estate market has primarily been driven by single-family homes. However, we have started to see this change. The demand for condominiums has risen, and as a result new condo developments are abundant. Still, the fruition of the condominium real estate boom may now be reaching a point of saturation.

For December, the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board reported 766 condominiums and 1,138 single family homes listed for sale. As real estate has proven over the years, no matter which homeownership journey you decide upon, either will be a valuable longterm investment for years to come.

Ceinwen Morgan has worked in the Kelowna real estate industry for the past five years.

Home-sites starting at $143,900. Lake view sites starting at $219,500.
