BUILDING A BETTER SKYLINE
T
he Kelowna skyline has changed considerably over the last 20 years. In today’s close-up, Capital News assistant editor Alistair Waters talks to longtime local architect Jim Meiklejohn about his view on how the city has taken shape and finds the local expert feels there have been both negatives and positives about the buildings that have sprung up in the city.

CLOSE-UP
Architect’s view of Kelowna’s skyline Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
W
hen Jim Meiklejohn looks around Kelowna, he sees a lot he likes. And more he doesn’t like. The well-known Kelowna architect, whose buildings dot the local landscape, has seen the city’s skyline change dramatically over the years. But unlike the casual viewer, Meiklejohn sees it through the eyes of a man responsible for designing buildings—a peer to the others who have also been, in part, responsible for the changing skyline of the city. “Kelowna, as a city, has not developed that well,” says Meiklejohn, when asked what he thinks about the buildings in Kelowna. And he has some perspective from which to make that judgement. He’s a local. Meiklejohn’s firm, started by his father and mother in the 1950s in Penticton, is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. While it still has an office in Penticton that is run by his brother Cal, also an architect, the majority of the firm’s work now originates out of Kelowna. Meiklejohn’s parents moved to Penticton from Alberta following the Second World War. He said they chose the southern Okanagan city in part because at the time, it was the major centre in the region. It was bigger than Kelowna,
and had an airport and transportation routes to the coast. Meiklejohn’s father, who first discovered the Okanagan when he was posted here during the war as a quartermaster, established his architectural firm, building it up over the years. with partners up and down the valley. He practiced as an architect right
ALISTAIR WATERS/CAPITAL NEWS
up the early 1990s, when he was joined by two of his sons in 1992. Architecture, it would seem, runs in the family—of the four Meiklejohn sons, three are architects. Seeing that the growth in the region was starting to be centred in and around Kelowna, Meiklejohn and his wife Shirley, a building technologist from Singapore, opened a branch office here in 2001. Since then, the firm has grown and worked on many buildings here, both public and private, either as the lead architect or with other out-of-town firms. Over that time, the city has seen enormous growth, with areas like the downtown growing up instead of out to handle the expected need. But not all the buildings have been filled. And not all of them have been embraced by the public either. According to Meiklejohn, it is what he calls “tourism-driven” architecture that has been delivering some of the more visually innovative buildings here at wineries, golf resorts and ski hills. Meanwhile, some of the high-rise, and even low-rise buildings that have gone up in the city’s downtown core have not won applause from the local architect. Meiklejohn says Kelowna, like most North American cities, has grown up catering to the automobile and, as a result, much of the architecture here reflects that. He cited the stretch of Highway 97 in from the airport to downtown, including Harvey Avenue, as an example— strip mall after strip mall with acres of parking lot out front. “Harvey Avenue is our front door and it’s not good enough. We have not taken care of our front door,” he says. “It’s not what Kelowna deserves as an introduction.”

Canada should help those less fortunate
To the editor: Think about our fellow world people, i.e. the people of the Philippines after the recent major storm. We have now completed many years in Afghanistan, busy killing and destroying the country and its people with no result except “training in the field of destruction” for our armed forces. Then the boys (and girls) come home to an attitude of ‘oh, you don’t feel good about your job in Afghanistan and you have post traumatic stress syndrome, well, too bad, get over it.’ We don’t have any money to spend on their health services becuase we have already spent more than $100 million per year on the Senate and there just isn’t any money left. Word is that Canada spent at least $20 billion in Afghanistan or maybe more. Imagine if we used our military to help our friends in the Philippines and other places, maybe our image around the world would be different from that of the United States.

Not easy to untangle oil pipeline politics in B.C.
R
eaction was swift and scattered after the “framework agreement” on new oil pipelines announced recently by B.C. Premier Christy Clark and Alberta Premier Alison Redford. First, here’s what it doesn’t mean. “B.C. blinked,” according to one Toronto commentator, based on the popular notion that B.C. gave up its claim to a share of Alberta’s resource royalties from heavy oil. Clark never made such a claim, so it would be difficult to give it up. Her often-repeated condition of a “fair share” of revenues from any new oil pipelines is purposely vague, but after repeated protests from Alberta, Clark clarified as far back as last June
that provincial royalties are not on the table. There is no constitutional way to make such a demand, a point Redford has made several times. Tom NDP leader Adrian Fletcher Dix and the usual chorus of professional protesters claimed that Clark flip-flopped, opposing the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal before the election and then embracing it once she was re-elected. This is also inaccurate. Clark’s five conditions were set out before the May election, demanding approval by a federal environmental review, “world-leading” spill prevention and response capability on land and at sea, meeting legal requirements to consult and share benefits with aboriginal com-
VICTORIA VIEWS
munities, and the undefined “fair share” for B.C. Clark said numerous times during the campaign that the conditions have not been met, and made pessimistic noises about Northern Gateway, but she very carefully did not campaign against it. The B.C. Liberal platform also endorsed a Kitimat-area oil refinery proposed by this newspaper’s owner, and Clark repeatedly referred to that sort of industrial expansion as one of the potential “fair share” components for B.C. The B.C. Liberal government made its opposition to Northern Gateway “as currently proposed” official on May 31, two weeks after the election, in its final submission to the federal review panel. If Clark had wanted to jump on the anti-pipeline bandwagon for political gain, that move could have been made earlier. NDP environment critic Spencer
Chandra Herbert said the B.C. government has taken the position that more oil will reach the West Coast, by rail if not by pipeline. I’m not sure if or when that claim was made, but it’s true that rail shipments are already permitted. Here’s what Redford and Clark agreed on. Redford accepts B.C.’s five conditions, provincial royalties excluded, and Clark endorsed Redford’s proposed “Canadian Energy Strategy,” which B.C. rejected last year. A draft of the strategy released last summer contains no specifics on how it would facilitate a pipeline project from Alberta to B.C. It talks about developing Canada’s energy reserves and at the same time somehow reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and promises a final version next spring. Oh, and Que-

LETTERS
A Tradition of Sound Advice
▼ VIOLENCE
No fear of hockey fading as a sport To the editor: I am writing this letter to the editor in response to an Oct. 17 letter addressing violence in hockey. Rather than scrambling amidst the friendly Canadian-esque banter of hockey-talk, reasoning why fighting, concussions, and violence have no place in the game and how the Vancouver Canucks are an elite team in the NHL and Toronto needs a little more work, I am going to look at the evolution of the game. I’ve played the game, still do and I’ve worked with young players in hockey camps. What irked me most about the letter is when the future of the game was brought into question, hinting its longevity may soon be cut short. I want to consider hockey a socially constructed game, or sport within our own evolution, leading to the simple logical conclusion that we’ve built the game and what it subsequently becomes is up to us. Love him, or hate him, (commentator) Don Cherry knows the game of
hockey. He was one of the builders, and so are you. Nonetheless, the respect, integrity, and toughness of the game are a large part of his Coach’s Corner segments on CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada. But it becomes necessary to consider the history of the game; where the game came from and how the “gentlemanliness” of the game helped produce such stars as Bobby Orr, Gordie Howe, and Wayne Gretzky, as well as a continuous class of athletes who rarely fall into the lives of excess displayed all to frequently amidst three of the other “big four” American sports. These steadfast qualities of respect, integrity, as well as teamwork and community can be viewed as positive values inherent within any social construction for that matter. Within this history however, we do see a history of violence. (Montreal Canadien great) Maurice “Rocket” Richard got his nickname from his speed and wicked shot but also his ill-mannered temper.

lies” of the 1970s (the Philadelphia Flyers) could not contend in the present game in my opinion, however they were dominant in their day, and their style of play is still valid among the “bottom six forwards” on many of today’s National Hockey League teams, to an extent. Having a “bodyguard” was a necessary deterrent for past teams to protect such stars as (Vancouver’s) Pavel Bure, (Detroit’s) Steve Yzerman and Edmonton’s Great One (Gretzky). I find it hard to see the same type of role players keeping up, and protecting today’s stars, while allowing their teams to contend for the Stanley Cup. There have been progressions in limiting the violence within the game and that will not stop. But hockey remains a contest fuelled by competition and the game’s aggression will always be there. What has changed is the world around it. It’s a rather large component to consider when examining any social construction.
Is one minute too much? To the editor: On Remembrance Day, at 11 a.m, I was in a large local store in Kelowna picking up a few things. Over the P.A. system came an announcement that there would be a minute of silence to reflect and remember. There were not many folks in the store, so the announcement came
Ottawa has the final say bec refuses to participate. Ottawa has sole jurisdiction over inter-provincial projects such as Northern Gateway and the proposal by Kinder Morgan Canada to expand the 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline to Burnaby and refineries in Washington. If there is to be some
extra revenue for B.C. from oil traffic, it could theoretically take the form of a toll on pipelines. Redford pointed out the problem with that idea in her speech to an energy forum in Vancouver last week. She noted that 42 per cent of B.C. natural gas is piped through Alberta to markets. If B.C. can toll Alberta oil, the
game in question. Any solution aimed at continually improving our game falls upon us as a society. On a concluding note, the future succumbs to the mentorship of our youth. Minor hockey associations across the nation are always looking for volunteers, people with life experience on and off the ice, to cement certain positive values in the young minds of the game. The sense of community surrounding the game has become somewhat innate in our country and to give up on it because of a collection of incidents removes any nation’s sense of fortitude and ambition. So, as a society, let’s remain conscious of our evolution, and work to find our voices to help build the future of our socially constructed world and everything in it. There is a Lady Byng trophy awarded at the end of each season, honouring the most gentlemanly player in the league for a reason. Graeme Merriman Kelowna

When the world changes, it doesn’t forget about things. I am an optimist, and I see the good rooted in the socially constructed world where I live. Remember who is building it. But I must remember too, who is wearing it down, and slowing its growth. So the choice becomes ours, the choice of which side will come out as the victor, and that doesn’t end with a fight. There’s always at least two combatants in any fight. Fighting will remain in the game for at least another decade, until the collective skill outroots the need for a goon. The game of hockey is not in danger of dying out. With the onslaught of skill crossing continents in abundance, a realization of the game’s evolution is in sight. Continuous improvement is a stride many professional athletes, as well as many common people take. They look to become smarter, faster, and stronger, with the latter two attributes favouring the
same could be done with B.C. gas. None of B.C.’s five conditions has yet been met. Legally, they don’t have to be, except for the one about accommodating aboriginal title. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalNews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca
through very clear. All the staff basically shut down their duties for that one minute. Within my vision in the centre of the store only three men stood quietly for that minute. The other customers carried on talking away with each other or, if alone, ignored that simple suggestion—each on their own “important” mission.
I am sure all over the world this same experience happened. For those who pulled their cars over to the side of the road and those who actually respected this one minute, thank you. For those who did not, I hope you had a nice day. Joel Rickard Kelowna

‘Rustic elegance’ describes city’s architectural landmarks Skyline from A3
For Meiklejohn, whose Kelowna build-
ings include the new Kelowna Secondary School,
the Landmark 6 tower, the Cannery Lofts condominium building downtown, condominiums at UBCO, both the New Gate Apartments in Rutland and the Cardington Apartments downtown, supportive housing developments that were controversial in the planning stage, Aberdeen Hall private school and Dr. Knox school, the key to a good building is simplicity and elegance. Given Kelowna’s agricultural history, he calls it “rustic elegance.” “Beautiful buildings
are about proportions, they have a grace or a simplicity, but they are not boring. They have a presence, ” Meiklejohn says. And, they are judged by the public who see them and use them. Two buildings Meiklejohn likes in the downtown are the Okanagan Regional Library branch and the nearby Rotary Centre for the Arts. Both buildings, he feels, have that presence he spoke of. They are interesting without being
overbearing, and they make a statement. He thinks they have a feel of Kelowna’s future. He did not work on either one but feels they capture what Kelowna is about. So when he designed the Cannery Lofts building, just up the road from the library and kitty-corner from what has become the city’s most prominent historic building, the Laurel Packinghouse, he said he wanted to include elements to remind people of the library

by linking them together. In fact, the Ellis Street corridor is the area of downtown Meiklejohn says he is particularly enthusiastic about. With plans for a new office tower to house Interior Health employees, two new parkades,— which his firm is designing—and the planned twin-tower condominium development called the Monaco, he sees the area as an architectural statement waiting to happen. But, he adds, building in downtown Kelowna is not easy. With a high water table and poor ground conditions, it is difficult. When the Madison residential tower was built at the corner of Ellis Street and Doyle Avenue, problems with the ground around it led to other smaller, existing buildings sinking by as a much as a metre, he said. Those same concerns had to be taken into consideration when planning the new Kelowna Yacht Club building, which his firm has designed and which is slated for the downtown waterfront just north of Stuart Park. The curved building, which will be reminiscent of an unfurled sail, is expected to be a “statement” building for the city. Meiklejohn said his hope is that the public not only likes its appearance, but also uses it as it will have a public restaurant and other facilities as well as being the new clubhouse for the private Kelowna Yacht Club. With a downtown located on the lakeshore, access to the water in Kelowna is always important. And that is where there have been issues in the eyes of the local architect. Development, he says, should not curtain off the lake from the rest of the city, something he feels has occurred to the north of the downtown core along now highly developed Sunset Avenue. Pointing to the Discovery Bay highrise development, Meiklejohn says he feels more access to the water through the development should have been provided. Similar developments in Vancouver, along the shores of False Creek, provide access to the water there and that should have been done here too, he says. “The planning was not good,” he says. “Essen-

NEWS Skyline from A10 tially they are a bunch of stucco towers.” Despite that blot, Meiklejohn is optimistic about the future architectural development of the city. He feels local government is much more cognizant now of the need for better buildings and better planning than in the past, and while the city did not have a lot of heritage buildings that were worth preserving because many were industrial given Kelowna’s agrarian past, the ones it did have were not kept. Meiklejohn’s firm was responsible for the renovation and refit of one that has been maintained downtown, the Laurel Packinghouse. The work brought that building back to the look of its glory days. The project, which has won the company several heritage awards, fea-

tured the removal of an internal second floor that opened up its beam-exposed ceiling, a new roof, structural changes inside and new floor, as well as a revamped museum inside. The project was challenging to say the least. “We found that nothing was square in the
building and it wasn’t even level,” says Meiklejohn. “There was a hump in the roof that had to be dealt with and floor supports were rotting.” But innovation ruled the day. When his team discovered many of the floor supports in the basement
were rotting, some of the salvageable wood was milled and used for floorboards for a new floor installed in the building. “This building had serious structural challenges. There were a lots of surprises.” But he points to it as an example of what can be done with an existing heritage building that is nearly 100 years old to bring it back to life. What Kelowna needs is for the new buildings that are springing up to have the same enduring qualities of old buildings like the Laurel.

apologize to the court.” Another prosecutor had originally been handling the file, Grabavac told the judge, but his schedule wasn’t taken into consideration when Thursday’s sentencing date was set. Grabavac, who was assigned the file because the other prosecutor wasn’t available Thursday, said he couldn’t effectively present a sentencing position because without the pre-sentence report he didn’t know enough about the background of Werner and what role his 2002 brain injury may have played in the commission of the crimes. Defence lawyer Gavin Jones said the brain injury “certainly is a factor” in the offences, prompting the judge to request a pre-sentence report with a psychiatric component be prepared as soon as possible. Werner, 37, admitted in August to three counts of robbery and two counts of disguising his face with the intent to commit an offence. He was arrested Nov. 20, 2012, after West Kelowna RCMP received a report of a robbery that occurred at The Wine Store, located at 2130 Louie Dr.
He is also responsible for a Nov. 15, 2012, robbery at a West Kelowna Tim Hortons and a holdup two days earlier at the West Kelowna Liquor Depot. Werner returns to court Dec. 12.
HOME INVASION
Two men charged in a Halloween home invasion last year are headed to Supreme Court. At a court appearance this week, Matthew Scott Stewart and Keven Graham were ordered to stand trial on charges related to the home invasion. The pair are accused of breaking into a home in the 1300-block of Belaire Avenue in the early morning hours of Nov. 1, 2012 and threatening the woman inside. “The report indicated that two unknown men entered (the) home with guns and threatened the occupant. The woman fled the residence and called 911,” said Const. Kris Clark at the time. Police tracked the suspects after the 911 call and arrested Graham. Stewart was arrested in Surrey in January 2013. The pair is charged with armed robbery, two break and enter offences, assault with a weapon and three firearms offences.

THE FOUR- member band Repartee fronted by lead singer Meg Warren.
Bringing a smiling attitude to electronic pop Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
There’s something about Repartee that just screams “adorable.” The four-member band, fronted by lead singer Meg Warren, bring the world “happy” into electronic pop like only a band out of a province littered with kitchen parties and foot-stomping good acts could muster. With a singsong lilt, they aspire to energy of Moncton’s The Motorleague but, one must admit, Warren’s operatic background leaves one with more of a sense of talent and quiet style than their own desire to fill a dance floor reveals. It was her “tight voice” and failured attempt at an opera career that opened the door for the whimsical group that
looks like they followed their rainbow to a golden opportunity in their sparkly album shots. “I was also kind of working toward an education degree because I wanted stability,” said Warren. “And, ironically, I wound up with this.” Her degree in music may have found her venturing into one of the most volatile and confusing industries going, but one couldn’t say she’s found it particularly troubling from light fare like I Would Die Before You, the lead single on their 2012 release. Warren got started at the bequest of a boyfriend who figured she should try writing an album for the RMP Challenge. A challenge that offers young musicians a chance to write 10 songs or 35 minutes of material during the month
of February and have it live streamed via online jukebox. They didn’t make the deadline, but what Warren got was a feel for what she wanted to do and very quickly she assembled a band and set about becoming an indie pop act. The cast of characters has since changed, as is the case with many bands in the early years. Joined by Robbie Brett in January 2011, Nick Coultas-Clarke in September of the same year and Josh Banfield in 2012, Repartee has made great strides. The band won all five 2012 MusicNL Awards they were nominated for and were nominated for the 2012 East Coast Music Awards in the Rising Star of the Year category. Interviewed en route to a gig in Fort
McMurray, where they were hoping for major support from the Newfoundland crowd, the tour which brings them to Kelowna this month is their first venture west and the conclusion of five months of touring delivering them home to a brief reprieve for Christmas. In the new year, they plan to get right back into album mode to follow up their first full-length self-titled effort. “We had a big writing session in August in a little cabin retreat,” said Warren. Describing their process as “very collaborative” she said their main aim is simply to provide the kind of show people really want to get up and dance to.

Film screening puts spotlight on addiction recovery
November 18 to 24 is National Addictions Awareness Week. To bring awareness in Kelowna to that issue, a feature film about the 23.5 million Americans living in long-term recovery and the emerging public recovery movement will be shown at the Mary Irwin Theatre on Tuesday, Nov. 19. The screening will be followed by a presentation from Zachary Walsh, assistant professor of psychology and co-director of the Centre for the Advancement of Psychological Sciences and Law at UBC. In his session, he will present Canadian data and paint a picture of current addictions gaps and supports in our community. Special event screening tickets are available now through www.cmhakelowna.org. You can check out the movie trailer at www. theanonymouspeople. com. Donations to Candian Mental Health Asssociation Kelowna branch will be gratefully accepted at the screening. The Anonymous People sneak preview is sponsored by the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Common Bond, a philanthropy group dedicated to raising awareness and funds for Kelowna’s CMHA. The film features interviews with more than 30 people among the millions in long-term recovery from drug and alcohol addictions who are making the courageous decision to speak out publicly. They, and the film, question why the United States has criminalized and too often given superficial treatment to a chronic illness—addiction. As a result, addiction now comes with an an-
nual price tag of $350 billion. The American approach has put most of the burden of long-term addiction treatment on anonymous, free, 12-step programs. “This film is not your tired old addiction story often seen on reality television or in the news,” said film producer Greg Williams. “There are no needles hanging out of people’s arms, pictures of the brain, or fried eggs in a
www.kelownacapnews.com A15
pan. We set out to find the answer to one very fundamental question: Why don’t we treat addiction in this country like any other health issue?” This film aims at transforming public discourse in much the same way that activists once decided that an honest open discussion had to take place about topics such as breast cancer, HIV/AIDS, and being gay in order to spark widespread change.
VIBRANT VOICE… West Kelowna’s Rachel Layne (Pavlakovic) had the honour of being the BC/Yukon Command of the Royal Canadian Legion’s Patriot Voice at the regular season ending home game for the B.C. Lions earlier this month. Along with singing the national anthem at BC Place Stadium, Rachel also sang Amazing Grace as part of the halftime show, which was a salute to our veterans and military valour.

Contract extension for Rockets’ assistant coach Dan Lambert Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
After watching Dan Lambert at work the last four-plus seasons as Ryan Huska's right-hand man, Bruce Hamilton is convinced the 43-year-old ex-pro defenceman has a promising future as a head coach. With that in mind, the Kelowna Rockets have signed Lambert to a two-year contract extension through the 2015-16 WHL season. "Dan is certainly a strong candidate to become a head coach and that's why we want to keep him in our organization," said Hamilton, the Rockets president and GM. "He's done a wonderful job developing our young defenceman. He's a quality person and we're
thrilled to have him in our organization." Lambert, the defensive specialist on the club's staff, is in his fifth season as an assistant coach with the Rockets. From both professional and personal standpoints, remaining in Kelowna was the logical decision for Lambert. "There's no doubt I have aspirations on being a head coach down the road, but I'm certainly not in a hurry to get there," Lambert said. "It's nice to be part of this organization, and the staff we have, these are great guys to work with. With the team's record and reputation, there's no better place to be in junior hockey. "From my family's perspective, my wife and kids are pretty comfortable here, so it's a good situation for us."
Lambert joined the Rockets after a 19-year professional career that saw him play for the Quebec Nordiques, as well as at the AHL and IHL levels in North America. He also had a long and prosperous career in Germany's top league the DEL. A Memorial Cup winner as a junior with the Swift Current Broncos, Lambert recorded 102 points as a WHL defenceman in 1988-89. Among the defenceman that Lambert has worked with include Tyson Barrie, for his final two years with the Rockets, as well as current Rockets and NHL draft picks Madison Bowey and Damon Severson as well as up and coming youngster Riley Stadel. "When you look at developing our defenceman, Dan has done a great job
right from the day he started," said Hamilton. "He's an excellent coach." Rocket Shots…The Rockets, who have won seven straight games, will host the Medicine Hat Tigers on Saturday at Prospera Place… The Rockets (14-2-0-2) came in at the No. 3 spot in the Canadian Hockey League's latest weekly top-10 rankings. Kelowna, which has the top winning percentage (.833) in the WHL, moved up from seventh a week earlier… Rockets' defencemen Damon Severson and Madison Bowey will play in both games for Team WHL later this month in the Subway Super Series against the Russians. The two teams will face off Wednesday, Nov. 27 in Red Deer and Thursday, Nov. 28 in Lethbridge.

Kelowna skaters win three provincial titles
CONTRIBUTED
KELOWNA’S Ajsha Gorman skated to a gold medal at the B.C. andYukon Sectional Championships.
The Kelowna Skating Club and Centre of Excellence made a huge statement at the B.C. and Yukon Sectional Championships held last week in Richmond. Nineteen local skaters returned home with three provincial titles and seven medals in total. A highlight of the championships occurred in Pre-Novice Women as Kelowna S.C. members finished 1-2 in a field of 52 skaters. Ajsha Gorman, a 12-year-old St Joseph’s student, won both segments of the event with a combined score of 91.16
points, the highest posted score of any skater at any of the Canadian provincial qualifying championships. In addition to the provincial title, Ajsha also won the Artistic Award for the event, as well as the Super Series title, based on top scoring average through the Pond to Podium Super Series events throughout the season. Her result also qualified her to the Skate Canada Challenge next month at Regina. This event represents the National Championships for the Pre-Novice level. Mckenna Colthorp, also 12, also qualified for
the Skate Canada Challenge on the strength of her silver medal finish. Kelowna’s Rochelle Reeve finished in 6th place, just 0.71 shy of the last qualifying spot. Earlier in the week, Kelowna’s Olivia Gran skated a flawless and technically demanding program to capture the Juvenile Women U11 title, as well as the event Artistic Award and Super Series overall championship. Her personal-best score of 37.24 points was also the highest posted score by a Canadian skater at the Juvenile level at any event this season.
Julianne Delaurier was the third Kelowna skater to capture a provincial crown, this time at the Junior Women’s division. The 15-year-old Okanagan Mission student won both segments of her event for a combined score of 128.86 points. She also won the Artistic Award, and won the Super Series title for the third year in a row. Her finish also qualified her to compete at the Skate Canada Challenge, which is a qualifier for the Canadian Championships for the Novice and Junior levels. Kelowna’s Jayda
Jurome and Cailey England finished in 4th and 5th, respectively, also qualifying for the Challenge event. At the Novice level, 14-year-old Olivia Marleau took the bronze medal in the women’s division, while 16-year-old Kelly Basisty skated to a silver medal finish in the men’s event. Both also qualified for the Challenge event. “Overall, it was a good event for our team,” noted KSC Director Jason Mongrain.

West Kelowna Warriors fall in tight BCHL Interior division In the span of three games, the West Kelowna Warriors went from first place in the B.C. Hockey League’s Interior division to fifth. Such is life in the BCHL Interior where just three points separate the first place Penticton Vees
(13-4-2-1) and the now fifth place Warriors (127-0-2). The Warriors will look to snap a three-game losing skid when they meet the Vees at Royal LePage Place tonight (Friday 7 p.m.) as part of a two game weekend for the
Warriors. Having lost its last three games, Warriors head coach Rylan Ferster says it’s the team’s special teams that will be key to turning around the recent stretch. “Special teams are so key,” said Ferster. “When
it’s like the playoffs, like it is now, most games are decided by special teams. If you look back on the games where we haven’t had success it’s special teams. We’re a team that works pretty hard. I still think we have to continually try to do the little things and get better every day.” The Warriors head into the weekend with the 10th rated power play unit in the 16-team BCHL
while its penalty killing unit is ranked 15 out of 16 teams. With just four of the six teams in the BCHL Interior making the playoffs this year, the standings are as tight as they have ever been with onethird of the season in the books. Penticton and Merritt are tied for first with 29 points, Vernon has 28, Salmon Arm has 27 and West Kelowna has 26. Only Trail appears out
of the race with just 13 points. The Warriors also host Cowichan Valley (11-120-1) on Saturday at RLP. ••• The Kelowna Chiefs have just a single game this weekend as they host the North Okanagan Knights Friday night at 7 p.m. at Rutland Arena. The Chiefs are 16-60-1 on the season and sit in first place in the KIJHL Okanagan Division while
the Knights are 9-10-0-1 and sit in fourth in the division. ••• The Okanagan Rockets are on the road this weekend, playing two B.C. Major Midget League games in Richmond against the Greater Vancouver Canadians. The Rockets are sitting in first place in the BCMML this season, with a 12-1-1 record. The Canadians are 6-9-1.
AquaJets competitive at three meets The second weekend of competition for the AquaJets was a busy one, with 50 swimmers competing at three different events in Vernon and Coquitlam. Two of meets held preliminary and finals ses-
sions for the first time this season, and the team responded very well stepping up in the morning and delivering some great races to get into the finals. Coaches Peter Wilkins and Cody Hitchcock were very pleased with
Dr. Patricia Skidmore
the teams overall performance in Coquitlam, having watched the team improve every year at this meet against a handful of the best teams in the province. “It is rewarding to watch the team continue to learn and grow at competitions, developing a better understanding of individual and team responsibility.” At the same time, coach Linda La Lone led the troops at Vernon for
the Fall Invitational and Jamboree. La Lone was pleased with the AquaJets team spirit and pride over the weekend. There was one club record broken on the weekend in the girls 11-12 4x50 Free relay in a time of 2:11.91. Members of the team were Axana Merckx, Molly Hill, Nicola Crichton, and Sophie Schroeder.

Kelowna boxers in ring at nationals Warren Henderson A trio of Kelowna boxers will add to their national résumé Nov. 19 to 23 in Quebec City. Thistletown Boxing Club’s Curtis Anderson and Austin Riggs, along Ajay Bopari from the Kelowna Boxing Club, will step into the ring next week at the Canadian youth and junior national championships. Anderson (63 kg) and Riggs (50 kg) will compete in the junior C division, while Bopari (64 kg) plans to contend in the youth (16-19) division. Joining the local boxers in Quebec will be Thistletown coach Gra-
ham McIntosh who will serve as an assistant coach on Team B.C. Anderson and Riggs, both Grade 10 students at Mt. Boucherie Secondary, are 2013 B.C. champs in their respective categories. “(Curtis) is a very hard working, dedicated boxer and great listener,” said McIntosh. “He’s a technical boxer with great skills and puts in 100 per cent effort.” On Riggs: “Austin is very strong, very hard-hitting for his age,” McIntosh added. “He’s technically a good boxer.” Bopari, 17, who is the 2013 B.C. Golden Gloves and provincial champion

at 64 kg, will be making his third appearance at nationals. KBC coach Dave Habib likes Bopari’s chances of making it onto the podium next week. “He’s truly one of our most talented kids,” said Habib. “The big hurdle for us has always been his mental side, but we’ve made good headway with him and he’s taken big steps. He’s well-rounded, he’s very capable and I think his chances are very good.” “Expectations are good (for Kelowna boxers),” added McIntosh. “The eastern provinces tend to have a little more experience, they’re
technically some of the best, so that will be a challenge for our guys.” In addition to the youth and junior nationals, Quebec City is hosting the senior box-offs at the same time. It will be an opportunity for the young Okanagan boxers to rub shoulders with and learn from some of Canada’s best fighters. “It’s a chance to see former Olympians like Custio Clayton and Mary Spencer,” said McIntosh. “It’s will be a great experience, to see the path of success that these boxers have taken.” For McIntosh, this will be his third stint as an assistant coach for Team B.C. at nationals.

Snow is moving so get ready A
s the snow line creeps lower on the hills surrounding the Okanagan Valley, those who like to ski, snowshoe, snowmobile or even take snow pictures are celebrating, while those who don’t, are out enjoying the final fall days. It’s a bit early this Dyear, which makes some happy but I’m still enjoying the rustle of all those bright fallen leaves as I scuff through them on my mhikes. e I’m somewhat dreadeing the slippery winter pathways and the un-relenting cloud cover that -seems to be a feature of rour winters here now. r I’m positive as a kid -that we didn’t have nearly as much gray here in winrter…I remember clear, -cold sunny days of beautiful blue skies and crunchy ewhite snow underfoot. d However, I do love a change in seasons, so I’ll keep in mind that I can light a fire and snuggle up with a good book when the weather gets too hostile to be out in it. Higher elevation ski hills are either open already or nearly ready to open, but it’ll take a bit longer for those at lower elevations to accumulate enough snow. In the meantime, the Friends of Mission Creek Society is bringing in a guest speaker for its 16th annual general meeting Nov. 21. It’s at the EECO in Mission Creek Regional Park beginning at 6:45 p.m. At 7:30 p.m., Lael Parrott of Earth and Environmental Sciences at UBCO will talk about collaboration to support marine mammal conservation in the Saint Lawrence River Estuary. In 2011 the Saint Lawrence Estuary Working Group on Maritime Transport and Marine Mammal Protection was

St. David’s Presbyterian Church in Glenmore will host its annual Christmas Bazaar on Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Bazaar will feature baked good, preserves, quality collectibles, crafts and books along with a lunch to be served starting at 11:15 a.m. The church is located at 271 Snowsell St. in Kelowna.
TRAIL MIX
Judie Steeves created, with representatives from academic, government and industry organizations to find solutions to reduce the impact of shipping on mammals such as the variety of whales who come to forage there in summer. Parrott will talk about the collaborative policy-making process and some of the tools and approaches used to achieve successes there; tools that could be applied elsewhere. Current president Peter Dill promises the following agm will be short, but include nomin-
ation of a slate of directors and a report from the treasurer. A week later, there’s another important meeting, this time to talk about wetlands in the Okanagan Valley, with biologist, birder and author Dick Cannings speaking about the importance of such habitat here. It’s the first phase of the Okanagan Wetlands Strategy, a cooperative project of the Okanagan Basin Water Board, B.C. Wildlife Federation and the Central Okanagan Regional District, gathering information about the valley’s wetlands. The workshop will begin at 1:30 p.m.and go to 4 p.m., and will be followed by an open house from 4 to 6 p.m., with interactive mapping tools available for those interested in identifying wetland areas of concern.
If you’re interested in the workshop, you’re asked to respond to: wetlands@ecoscapeltd.com People are also invited to participate in the survey on wetlands at www.surveymonkey.com/s/okanagan_wetlands_strategy_phase1. For a more-active afternoon, consider signing up for the winter fishing derby being put on by Rodney’s Reel Outdoors, the Sport Fishing Guide, with partners Trout Waters Fly and Tackle and the Okanagan Fisheries Foundation. It’s a catch and release trout derby with $3,500 in three prizes for the longest trout, as well as five random $100 prizes to be given away during the day. It’s Sunday, Dec. 8, dawn to 3:30 p.m. For details, go to www.kelownafishingderby.com.

Can you help Sahara?

erhaps it’s my aversion to cold air and soggy weath-
Maybe it’s because I did not get enough summer when it visited here in August? Possibly it’s because I’ve hardly travelled in my life and certainly never been on a cruise ship. Regardless the reason, all I know is that a cruise for two to Mexico sounds pretty good right now. I mention this only so you understand why I might break down on stage Saturday night at the Kelowna Community Theatre. As co-MC I am supposed to help announce
This beautiful 1 year old girl was hit by a car this last weekend. The driver did not stop! With a broken leg, Zahara was found by dog control, and brought to the Asher Road Animal Hospital who have done extensive work to stabilize her at no charge. Unfortunately Zahara needs a specialist to repair her broken leg, and her owners are unable to afford this operation. To save Zahara from being put down, she needs to get donations to give her the chance she deserves.

However, everyone who takes in the annual awareness and fund raising concert tomorrow night (Saturday, Nov. 16) will be a winner. It is pretty much impossible not to be when considering the talent lined up to perform for you. The Night of the Arts
has taken on a life of its own since its origin some nine years ago when Dennis Dandenau, executive director of Okanagan Families, asked me to help create an awareness campaign for his organization. Much of their time was spent working with youth or young families dealing with addictions or homelessness concerns. I suggested we host an early December concert and that I’d invite a number of my musician and artist friends to take part. I thought they might assist, especially if the cause was to raise awareness of issues impacting youth and young families in our

own community. I put out 13 invitations and received 13 positive responses. That first concert was dubbed The Iridian Night of the Arts since the funds went towards a youth detox and shelter facility known as the Iridian House. I sought out the assistance of buddies Curtis Tulman, Jim LeGuilloux, and sound man John Adams, and many others. Despite the fact the province later pulled their funding support for the facility and the Iridian house eventually closed, Okanagan Families continued to effectively assist youth in our community. Soon after Okanagan Families rebranded to The Bridge Youth and Family Services and asked me if we’d organize the concert again. Curtis and John nodded without hesitation, and we continued to organize the concert for the next five years with The Bridge. For the past two years, and again this year, the fundraising and awareness focus has been with Metro Community- a faith based organization that does tremendous work with the homeless and those at risk in our town. All proceeds assist their excellent drop in facility downtown, Metro Central, which provides a safe and inviting place for counselling, and a warm cup of coffee.

Most heart warming to me is the consistent dedication of several folks over the years. Next to perhaps Curtis and Jimmy, no one exemplifies the love of com-
munity and the love to perform in my books as Deb Stone. When she returns to the stage this year it will mark her ninth straight year taking part. She is the only musician to do so. Indeed, others have also put in amazing support year after year including Bernard Shelvey who has been the musicians’ host for nine years, Les Thompson helping with security for four or
five years, Todd Cargo who handled lights numerous times, Chris Butin on sound, and Randy Zahara and Roland Simmons with the community theatre. Tomorrow’s show with Dirt Road Opera, Papa Thom, Jimmy LeGuilloux, the Trips, and Cowboy Bob will be another marvellous night of music and magic. I can’t wait. See you there.

Bernard Avenue reopened to motorists on Thursday, Nov. 7 at 4 p.m.
What’s new
Come downtown as the final installation of public art on the light poles and other minor esthetic improvements are completed between St. Paul and Ellis streets. Temporary asphalt ramps at crosswalks are in place until top lift paving is completed in the Spring.
What’s next
Depending on weather, the final phase from Ellis to Pandosy streets gets underway in the Spring with completion scheduled in June 2014.

Originating from the need to upgrade aging utilities and roadway, the $14-million investment in downtown has become an identity-establishing project.

It is an honour to help them help others. Curtis, John, and I continue to organize the event year after year largely because of the camaraderie that takes place. Watching so many caring musicians, artists, and volunteers donate their time for an evening of music and fellowship creates a warm fuzzy in our gut that nothing else can really equal. Watching musicians meet one another for the first time, or old friends drawn together by the event—is a drug free rush. Ironically, while the three of us get an embarrassing amount of thanks for our effort - it is us that truly feel lucky and blessed. For nine straight years not one Okanagan band available on the night has turned down our request to take part—and only two artists have not contributed a piece of work for the silent auctions. As a writer, I usually loathe asking another artist or musician to ‘donate’ their time to an event. For the Night of the Arts, however, I rarely have to ask musicians to take part. The majority of bands who perform over the years have mentioned they would love to play— and I simply jump on the opportunity. I believe the response is because so many musicians truly know what it’s like to face or fight addictions, not always know where there next meal is coming from, or how they are going to pay rent. The other day Curtis asked how many Okanagan bands have taken part in the last nine years, so I compiled a list of actual acts. Including those set for tomorrow night (and you just know that I have forgotten at least one or two over nine years) here is the list of 47: Ari Neufeld, Balmoral Orchestra, Corey Doak, Colours and Tone, Cowboy Bob, Cruzeros, The Davidson’s, Day Late and a Dollar Short, Deb Stone Band, Dirt Road Opera, Evan Jeffrey and Hip Hip Hooray, Gary Smyth, Greg Sczebel and band, Inkblot, Jane Eamon, Jimmy LeGuilloux Band, Joyful Door, Justin Dueck, Ken Byrka and Eric Funk, Keith ‘Papa’ Thom, Kurt Phillips, Kyle Tubbs, The Magirescu Family, MacGregor Sisters, Mitch Howanyk, Nixie, Noel Wentworth, Olga Osipova, Poppa Dog and Dog Skin Suit, Rachel Matkin, Raquel War-

Approximately 60% of those people were NEW customers that had never been in before, which is wonderful for us! Other than our Facebook page, we hadn’t done any other advertising, so many of the NEW customers coming in were a direct result of our print ads that we ran in the Capital News! We had a limited budget, but were thrilled with the amount of traffic that the two newspaper ads brought to our Goji’s Frozen Yogurt store’s grand opening on November 2nd. We strongly recommend advertising in the Capital News to any new business, big or small.

But the West Kelowna Residents Association knows there are many more people than that who want to see change. Last month, the WKRA asked residents to help identify gaps and problems with existing health care services on the Westside. The residents association has agreed to gather the feedback on behalf of Joanne Konnert, the consultant hired by the District of West Kelowna to prepare a report on the proposed Westside health facility. “I think Ms. Konnert is probably expecting a larger number,” said WKRA director Ron Green. “At the last public meeting we had on the subject, we had 245 people there.” Green said the responses so far have given

The West Kelowna teenager currently on trial for murder will finally tell her version of the events that left one of her peers dead, and turned a quiet Peachland street into a chaotic crime scene. The 18-year-old, whose name is under a publication ban, is alleged to have stabbed Ashlee Hyatt, 16, in her neck after an argument at a June 2, 2010, party. It’s a story that Crown counsel Murray Kaay assembled a number of witnesses to tell from varying angles, but defence lawyer Ingrid Friesen pointed out Friday that none of those viewpoints added up to a complete picture. “You as a jury will be the first to hear her side of the story—she wants very much to tell it,” Friesen told a B.C. Supreme Court jury Friday. “She’s been waiting two years to tell it.” The accused, who defence described as a “new girl trying to fit in at a new school,” has seen her point of view be absent in the last two weeks of trial, as even RCMP officers who dealt with the investigation failed to offer her perspective on what happened that night. What the jury has learned from teen witnesses who were there, however, is that the accused kissed a boy, while her boyfriend was nearby. This apparently upset Hyatt and the two started exchanging verbal barbs, which escalated to further pushing on the street, and eventually Hyatt was fatally wounded. Continuing on with the altercation, however, was the teenage host of the party. The defence has already suggested she was the one who brought the knife to the fight between the accused and Hyatt, and Friday two witnesses took the witness stand to highlight the teenage host’s behaviour in the aftermath and leading up to the fatal altercation. They also called upon George Young, who lives adjacent to the party house, to give testimony. Young testified he was brought into the fray when he heard a teenage boy in the street talking into his cellphone, saying, “It’s going down, it’s going down, it’s happening now.”

he day’s last light was fading and the first flakes of snow were falling outside the window, when a large black bear came ambling down the slope into the flower bed. There he began vigorously digging a hole, tossing plants aside as he went. A loud rap on the window sent him scurrying through the trees to the road, but the damage had been done in the garden. What if someone had come around the corner of the house and surprised that big animal? Others tell of watching as a large black bear ambled up their residential street, systematically exploring every driveway for garbage bins left out or other treats to eat, knocking over bins and laying down in the mess of trash in the road, while chewing on whatever was available.

LOS CABOS, Mexico—Much of what you need to know about Cabo San Lucas happens during the first weekend of October. It’s Sammy Hagar’s birthday. Yes, that Sammy Hagar, the second-best singer Van Halen ever had and the rock ‘n’ roll wordsmith responsible for sentiments such as “Your Love is Driving Me Crazy” and “I Can’t Drive 55.” When Sammy ages another year—he recently turned 66—Cabo San Lucas celebrates. More accurately, Sammy Hagar celebrates with a concert at Cabo Wabo, his sprawling bar-restaurant at the heart of the Cabo San Lucas action, and the booze-swilling tourists celebrate with him. “It’s a big deal—a big, big, big deal,” said Raymond Corral, 55, who has lived in Cabo San Lucas for eight years. “Other than spring break, Sammy Hagar’s party is the thing.” When Sammy Hagar’s birthday is one of your calendar’s notable events, it says a lot. And what it says about Cabo San Lucas is true: It’s a party place. It’s where people go to forget their lives up north. The all-inclusive resorts, the wait-
Bordered by the Pacific Ocean, the Laguna Mountains and Mexico, San Diego offers endless opportunities for exploration and activities. Spend a day relaxing in one of the many beach communities, explore the urban neighborhoods from the iconic Gaslamp District to the eclectic community of Coronado or the picturesque village of La Jolla. This “Stay-Put” tour offers en route destinations: Tulalip, Canyonville, Redding, San Francisco, Solvang and San Diego with magnificent visual highlights at every turn. This is truly a winter get-away designed with you in mind including 7 nights in beach front property and daily outings to all major attractions so pack away that snow shovel and join us for 14 days of sunshine and lifelong memories.
ers pouring tequila into the mouths of slim, bikinied women, those women dancing on the beach to electronic beats—it makes Cabo San Lucas 99 per cent vacation and oneper cent travelling. Actually, no—it is 100 per cent vacation. But then there is the other Cabo: San Jose del Cabo, 20 miles east and a world away. If Cabo San Lucas is vacation, San Jose del Cabo is traveling: Art galleries, cobblestone streets and a central square highlighted by a church dating to the 1700s. Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo are too estranged to be siblings; they’re more like distant cousins who rarely speak even though bound by a name, geography and an airport. As close as the Cabos sit, they also amount to a choose-yourown-adventure where the desert meets the sea. On a recent trip, I chose both.
CABO SAN LUCAS
My week began at Baja California’s southern tip in Cabo San Lucas, which any local will remind you was a sleepy fishing village 25 years ago. Though high-rise development has thankfully been kept in check, the town’s leap into international tourism came without much of a mas-
ter plan. Cabo’s primary beach, which hosts the area’s resorts and sand-top restaurants, sits a short disjointed walk from the heart of the entertainment —the bars, the marina, the (ample) strip clubs, the casino, the high-end shopping and the all-important Cabo Wabo. Unlike many Mexican towns, Cabo has no historic centre, no central square and no towering cathedral. With its slightly scattered persona, it feels like the free-for-all that it is. But it also is lovely; stand on the beach, where clear blue-green water meets the sand, and ahead sits a natural bay made by jagged rocks curling into the ocean. Behind the town stands sloping desert foothills studded with green. But it’s easy to suspect that natural wonder has less to do with drawing the American and Canadian hordes than the fact that Cabo San Lucas is an easy place to be; it is a land of beach, bars and bikinis, English, dollars and televisions lit with American sports. You do not need a word of Spanish to get by. (Most important, southern Baja is among the safest places in Mexico.) Because tourism drives the economy, there also is an endless effort to separate visitors from their money. Offers of
jewelry, tours and activities—snorkeling, diving, dune-buggy rides, camel rides, zip-lining, rides on water-propelled jet packs, boat rides to Cabo’s famous El Arco stone arch (do it) and worldclass fishing—are endless. Muttering “no, gracias” 50 times a day gets tiring, as is being the object of constant attention, even if generally good-natured. It’s the tourists who aren’t always so good-natured. “Some people check in here and just go straight to getting trashed,” said Jeff Layton, 60, who left Portland, Ore., 10 years ago to open Cabo Cush, an affordable, well-appointed hotel just outside downtown Cabo San Lucas. “Two tequila shots and a beer for five bucks, and you get a couple of those? You’re on your way.” Cabo presents ample opportunity to indulge in hedonism and vice; offers of jewelry or cigars regularly veer into more salacious opportunities. I was practically mocked by the boat captain who took me to El Arco one afternoon for not bringing a woman with me. He offered to rent me some companionship. “Happy ending,” he said. I passed. It was dark by the time
we got back to the beach and, like every night, Cabo was twitching to life, seeping from restaurants lit by tiki torches was the smell of grilled seafood and the sound of music, be it a mariachi band taking on Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock and Roll” or Americans at bright tablecloths singing along to the few words of “La Bamba” that they knew. Dancing and shots soon followed, and believe me, you haven’t truly shuddered until seeing women dressed in cultural Mexican garb do the “Y.M.C.A.” dance for a bunch of tourists. Wearing down on Cabo San Lucas, I took a leisurely hour walk the next day around the marina, landing at the beach across the bay (more common is getting there by a 10-minute boat ride). Because people tend to follow people, almost all the tourists baked themselves at a lovely spot hemmed in by dramatic rock shapes called Lover’s Beach. But a mere couple hundred yards away, I found my own sliver of undisturbed Cabo and ran headlong into the Gulf of California to bob in the salty blue-green water, refreshed and alone.

Contrasting both of the Cabos
O
Los Cabos from A25 why Cabo San Lucas has its devotees, such as Chic McSherry, a Scotsman who visits Cabo four or five times a year to fish. “Best striped marlin fishing in the world,” he said. McSherry said he generally opts for the lower-key side of Cabo San Lucas by eating and sleeping at local joints (such as the charming boutique hotel Los Milagros, which is where I found him shirtless and keeping cool with a bottle of Pacifico). “The first few years I went out and partied every night and sometimes went
straight on the boat still drunk,” he said. “I’m a bit long in the tooth for that.” This year, he even arrived a day after Hagar’s birthday party to avoid the madness. “You know, it’s not just all-you-can-eat and two-for-one down here,” McSherry said. “Go 15 or 20 minutes and you’re in proper Mexico.” Fine, then on to San Jose del Cabo.
SAN JOSE DEL CABO
There’s a reason San Jose del Cabo is fundamentally different from its rowdier cousin: It is about 250 years older. Modern San Jose took
#110-3001 Tutt St.
root with the construction of a Spanish mission in 1730. Though the town wasn’t always a tourist destination, about the same time that Cabo San Lucas was fashioning itself as party central, San Jose experienced a rebirth of its own that has become art galleries, restaurants serving authentic Mexican fare and cobblestone streets. I started my San Jose experience away from its Old World charm, in the beachfront neighborhood of La Playita, a couple miles outside the town centre. For years La Playita was a quiet fishing village on the Gulf of California that went relatively unvisited by tourists. But with its miles of pristine beach, the people who build things—in this case, Grupo Questro, one of the area’s largest developers —decided that made no sense. Voila: A marina was dug into a longtime beach and soccer field. Built on its shore was Hotel El Ganzo, which opened in late 2012. El Ganzo is a hip, stylish resort that embraces both the arts (there’s a recording studio in the basement) and the fact that it is not Cabo San Lucas. What you will find at El Ganzo— friendly service, a stunning rooftop infinity pool and a
quiet, private beach. What you will not get at El Ganzo are waiters pouring te-s quila down anyone’sf throat. M After a couple nightsd in La Playita—it’s wortha walking through thef neighbourhood to see thek Mexico untouched by tourism—I moved on tot a couple of nights in the heart of San Jose. It hadh been described to me as “elegant” and “adult,” butb the people who swear byi Cabo San Lucas say iti also is more boring. i Though a sedate littlea town, San Jose quietly isc a sensory feast. The art isd much of the reason, and on Thursdays during ther high season (late Octoberw through May), the galler-d ies stay open late into thec night. But even on a Sun-e day and Monday it wass an interesting place to be.s I’d explored town all of 15 minutes before com-v ing across a 1995 Nis-r san Pathfinder painted inc a chaotic splatter of blue,f red, yellow, black, white and pink. w As I looked deeplyp into the pattern —clearly they were meticulous brush strokes—the man responsible for Baja’s most vibrant SUV appeared before me. “I decided to create See Los Cabos A27

One is rowdy, one is quiet Los Cabos from A26 something unusual for in front of my gallery,” said Metin Bereketli, a bandanna covering his head and a faint beard on his face. “I want to help the kids with a smile.” “How long did it take to paint?” I asked. “Eh, a few months,” he said. Bereketli, who was born in Turkey, invited me inside to look at his paintings, which were largely in the same exacting style as his truck but as city centres of the world rendered on canvas. He offered a glass of red wine and explained why he prefers San Jose del Cabo to Cabo San Lucas. “In San Lucas, to me, everyone is trying to sell something,” Bereketli said. “This is a special environment—peaceful and relaxing. Here, people choose to enjoy art and food and wine.” It’s so relaxing that when I happened to walk past the small stretch of
San Jose shops where merchants hawk their products as aggressively as they do Cabo San Lucas, I was caught off guard; I had settled into a peaceful groove and forgot about Cabo San Lucas’ crass commercialism. It was no surprise that I met the most interesting people of my trip in San Jose. On my last night in town, some new friends (an American, a Mexican and a Spaniard) took me to Chileno Beach, along
the ocean-hugging corridor between the Cabos, where we crawled over the rocks with an eightpack of Pacifico to reach a private sliver of sand. After 30 minutes of snorkeling above luminous blue fish darting in and out of reefs, we sat on the beach until the sun went down and Venus rose, sparkling in the quiet dusk. We were about 10 miles from Cabo San Lucas but it couldn’t have felt farther away.

The CTS model is a lighter car, made of high tensile steel. It is stiffer, safer, handles better, and above all, is more efficient.
ZACK SPENCER
Question
Cadillac in the rear-view mirror of the European premium brands 2014 Cadillac CTS One auto trend that shows little sign of waning is the move towards more luxury or premium cars by manufacturers and consumers alike. As baby boomers age, they have earned the nicer things in life, and the offspring of baby boomers are getting used to the finer things in life, so more automakers are moving upscale. The Europeans do luxury and performance better than most and the Japanese luxury brands have been putting in their time to becoming a real force. But long before the Japanese, there have always been the American luxury brands, with many firsts in features and technology. Established in 1902, Cadillac is one of the oldest, along with Mercedes-Benz, and continues to be General Motors’ flagship in terms of refinement and technology. Looks The smaller Cadillac ATS was released a year ago and went on to win the North American Car of the Year award. General Motors has taken that platform and elongated it to produce the lightest mid-sized car in its class. It’s a full 173kg lighter than the benchmark BMW 5-Series it competes against, and 34kg lighter than the outgoing car. A lighter car, made of

Verdict The price of the CTS ranges from about $51,000 for the base model to $66,000 for the top premium trim level. The Vsport, high performance model is priced at almost $75,000. The Cadillac CTS is not an inexpensive car, but it offers many features like standard heated and vented leather seats, Bose stereo and push button start even on the base model. Compared to some of the other mid-sized luxury sedans it is less expensive, plus it is a worthy car for any driving enthusiast.

Perpetual driving self-betterment: Because you’re worth it B.C. race car driver Cherie Storms told me she was taking an advanced driver training course to appease her father’s wishes. She’d been putting it off since teenagedom. That said, her father is an accomplished race car driver and a proficient motorist, so you could argue it was an inevitability. But she had to find the desire in herself first. What followed, even she didn’t think would happen. She recently took home the championship title for the B Spec series in her Mazda2 for the 2013 race season. She grew up in a motorsports household but it wasn’t until she actually got behind the wheel at the driving course that her mindset changed. “I was just overwhelmed with all of the technical aspects that it takes to be a good driver,” she stated. It’s like what my grade 12 math teacher always said, “Math is not a spectator sport.” There was even a poster on the cubicle wall to remind us. The same thing goes for driving. Except there’s no poster in the cubicle for that! We need to be an active participant, not a wallflower. Anyone who has taken advanced driving courses will know exactly what Cherie is talking about. It’s not just about knowing how to shift gears on a manual transmission without jerking the car, or parallel parking your sedan without curbing the rims. Driving is so much more.

I understand that this mode of transportation is a necessity for many. And it’s something done out of convenience rather than love. Kind of like laundry or grouting the bathroom floor tiles. Then again, for others, it’s a passion. Myself included. Taking a specialized course, whether it’s a track day or a race school isn’t just for wannabe racers. It’s for everyone. And we can all learn if we have an open mind. We read to keep our mind sharp. We walk/run/work out to keep our bodies active. We sleep to keep our bodies functioning. Why should driving be any different? Why shouldn’t we actively engage in making ourselves better drivers? Every time you get behind the wheel of a vehicle, there’s a possibility you can change your life or the lives of others. We might not think too much about it, but operating a vehicle is a huge responsibility. Poor driving habits, not shoulder checking, not
using your signals, driving in the left lane when you’re not passing are minor details in the grand scheme of things, but have a large impact. It’s never too late to refresh the basics and then pick up a few new good habits. For example, if you look at any of the top athletes in their sport, they’re training most of the time. They’re trying to perfect their craft, even when they’re at the top of it. I doubt Sebastian Vettel slums around in his down
time, even after winning his fourth consecutive Formula1 world championship. Sure, he gets a break, but he’s constantly training to be faster and stronger. In another interview, I chatted with Izod Indy race car driver Simona de Silvestro. She tells me that there’s really no such thing as an “off-season.” She says she trains all year long. In fact, she trains harder when she’s not always behind the wheel of a car to prepare for the upcoming races. If the pros do it, we should
to. Some of the most fun I’ve had behind the wheel of a car has been at a driving school. Whether it was the three-day racing school at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca with the Skip Barber program, or a track day at the Mission Raceway with Morrisport Advanced Driving, or even a track program close to you, it’s a win-win. If we’re all safer drivers then the chances of accidents are minimized and we can keep our vehicles

transmission and drive goes to the rear wheels of the Coupe and to all four wheels of the Sedan. The rear-drive 3.5L V6 gets best fuel economy at 11.9 L/100/km in the city and 7.6 L/100/km on the highway. The 6.2L V8 is the gas guzzler, with a city/highway rating of 16.5/10.2 L/100/ km. All three engines also prefer premium fuel. A standard Dynamic Handling package also allows the driver choose a sporty-set-up at the touch of a button. This changes the continuously variable damping, the speed-sensitive power steering (with variable centering), ESP/ASR (traction control), accelerator response, and speed of automatic gear changes.

At highway cruising speeds you can barely hear the E350 BlueTEC diesel engine, throttle response is fast (for a diesel) and pulling power (398 lb ft of torque from 1600 to 2400 rpm) is phenomenal. Engine upgrades followed in 2012. The E350 4MATIC got a direct-injection 3.5-litre V6. The E550 4MATIC got a 4.6-litre bi-turbo V8 and the E63 AMG got a 5.5-litre bi-turbo V8.

An all-new 2010-model year E-Class Coupe beat its sedan counterpart into Canadian Mercedes-Benz dealerships, in mid-2009. Style, safety and comfort are fundamental characteristics of an E-Class, which is considered to be one of the safest cars in the world. This generation E-Class came with ten air bags and a new Pre-Safe system that readies all on-board safety systems, when it detects that a collision may be about to happen. A car to savour on a long road trip, this E-Class came with a new “Intelligent” body structure that’s 30 per cent more rigid than its predecessor, incredibly comfortable seating and a newly developed suspension with shock absorbers that automatically adjust to a driving situation. An optional air suspension was also available with an electronic damping system. The E350 (coupe or sedan) is powered by a 3.5 litre V6 with 268 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The E550 (coupe or sedan) has a 5.5 litre V8 that can generate 382 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque. The sedan also comes in a high-performance AMG 63 edition with a 6.2-litre V8 that makes 518 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque. All three engines are mated to a 7-speed automatic

Truck tires tread lightly in the snow TThe temperature is starting to drop, the leaves are clogging up the streets and snow is beginning to fall in parts in parts of B.C. Driving in the winter season brings challenges no matter which part of the province you call home. My remarks are aimed chiefly at truck owners but the message is common for all: driver and vehicles must be equally prepared. In winter, braking and stopping vehicles of all kinds is perhaps where most of us get into trouble. The tires play a critical role in stopping the vehicle, and so they need even more care and attention than in the other seasons. Most SUVs have a passenger car tire classification with M+S stamped on the sidewall, for Mud and Snow and are considered allseason tires. If it is not, your vehicle must be fitted with tires suitable for any type

of climate, even the most severe ones. In winter the pressure of the tire must also be controlled more frequently. This is because a reduction of the outside temperature causes a contraction of the air inside the tire, accelerating the normal and gradual pressure loss process by a value around 1-2 PSI for each 5° C decrease in
Drivers must be prepared for winter driving conditions. temperature. Contrary to popular opinion, a lower inflation pressure than normal does not improve tire traction on snow. It makes them much more prone to damage. Always remember that in any season and with any
temperature, insufficient pressure is always the main cause of tire damage. Use brakes carefully. Brake early. Brake correctly. It takes more time and distance to stop in icy conditions. Watch for slippery bridge decks, even when
the rest of the pavement is in good condition. Bridge decks will ice up sooner than the pavement. Do not use the cruise control in winter conditions. Even roads that appear clear can have sudden slippery spots and the short touch of your brakes to deactivate the cruise control
feature can cause you to lose control of your vehicle. Don’t get overconfident in your 4x4 vehicle. Remember that your four-wheel drive vehicle may help you get going quicker than other vehicles but it won’t help you stop any faster. Besides, many 4x4 vehicles are heavier than passenger ve-

hicles and actually may take longer to stop. And don’t bank on your 4x4’s traction. Your 4x4 can lose traction as quickly as a two-wheel drive vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock brakes, do not pump them in attempting to stop. The right way is to steer into the skid while applying the brake pedal evenly. Look farther ahead in traffic than you normally do. Actions by cars and trucks will alert you quicker to problems and give you a split second extra time to react safely. ian.harwood@drivewaybc. ca

But he and his wife Catherine have the last laugh when they open up their hydro bill. “I think the last bill was just a few dollars more than the one we got before we bought the car in July so that’s inexpensive driving,” said Knowles. “I work out at the airport and so I travel about 10 kilometres each way every

energy toll. “We moved from Ladner three-and-half years ago with our Smart Diesel. I think people here thought we would by something a little bigger – this is the truck capital of the Island after all.” But they came back from a car-shopping jaunt from Richmond with the little electric car, which set them back around $26,990 less a generous BC government rebate of $5,000. “We stopped in Qualicum Beach to charge it for a couple of hours and made it back here easily.” The car charges on what is called a level one (basic) charger but with rebates now offered on fast chargers, they are contemplating investing in one. Knowles got in touch with Driveway to tell of his experiences with the smart car, following our launch piece on the BMWi3 electric car a few weeks ago. We would like to hear from others, who are driving pure electric vehicles in rural areas. Electric vehicles are frequently dismissed as being good only for urban dwellers. The Knowles couple are demonstrating they can serve people outside of major cities. Admittedly, they don’t travel far each day but then surely that’s the case for many rural residents. Yes, trucks, larger cars and SUVs will always dominate in parts of the province where are harsh winters are commonplace and distances travelled are greater. But cars like the Smart and i3 maybe have a role to play as a family’s second vehicle in those locations. What do you think? keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Investing in car collector futures By Nigel Matthews Looking into my automotive crystal ball, I see a number of reasonably priced Japanese cars with the potential to go up in value, not down. And while you wait for their price to rise these collector cars of the future should give you endless driving pleasure – that is until you sell! Now to be fair, I’ve not always been right so there’s a caution. In 1973, I recall talking to a man, who had just returned to the UK from Australia. He told me about a car called a Honda Civic, which would make a Mini look ridiculous in comparison. My immediate reaction was that I had seen the Toyota Corollas that were just beginning to arrive in England and felt that the Mini did not have anything to worry about. Japanese cars were cheap and would not catch on. How wrong was I? If you still have one of the first generation Honda Civics, the majority were finished in a metallic gold, blue or green, I would suggest you look after it. In the future, these cars will appeal to the demographic that grew up with them and they will be the future collectors. 1973-1979: Honda Civic: The Honda Civic was introduced during the OPEC oil crisis, first as a two-door and then a three-door hatchback. The transversely mounted (similar to the Mini) 1169 cc engine driving the frontwheels was very peppy and spacious.
The Civic was similar to other “Made in Japan” items and considered a throw away automobile and that is exactly what happened to most of them. Rust helped speed up the process also. If you can find a pristine, rust free example, wrap it in cotton wool, it won’t command over $1 million as some Toyota 200GTs have recently but it will increase in value as time goes by. Pay $4,000 - $9,000. 1990-1999 Mazda Miata: Introduced in May of 1989, the Miata is considered the Japanese Lotus Elan. Unlike the thoroughbred and somewhat finicky Lotus engine, the Miata’s four-cylinder, twin-cam, four-valvesper cylinder engine is very reliable. In an eight-year production run, 430,000 first generation Miatas were built. This rock solid, rear-wheel-drive sports car does not rattle or shake like most convertibles. The soft top can be raised and lowered effortlessly with just one hand. The Japanese engineers tried out more than 100 different exhaust systems until they achieved the sound they desired to make it sound like a British sports car. Pay $5,500 - $9,000. 1990-1999 Toyota MR2: The second generation MR2 was larger and weighed (160 to 180 kg) more than its square predecessor. The body styling was now much more streamlined; if you use your imagination, it has a resemblance to both the Ferrari 348 and the Ferrari F355. Because of this, the new MR2 was labeled by some as “The poor man’s Ferrari”. If you

purchase the turbocharged version, you might feel like you are driving a Ferrari! Pay $5,250 - $7,000 1971-1973 Datsun 240Z: An early Datsun 240Z or event a 260Z from a dry climate such as California or Arizona, one that you can still see and count the spot welds on the quarter panel rear wheel arches is a car to snap up. These Ferrari 275 GTB lookalikes have a magnificent overhead-cam, straight six-cylinder engine and independent rear suspension. Parts are also still readily available. Pay $7,250 - $21,000. 1993-1995 Mazda RX-7: The twin sequential turbocharged RX-7 is a model that has generally been overlooked by many. The 1.3-litre Wankel engine screams and behaves like a motorcycle with its 8,000 rpm red-line. With 255hp it is a sports car without compromise, unfortunately also not many buyers! Mazda had priced this model out of the market. If you can find a mechanic familiar with rotary engines and want to have some fun, this is the model to consider, definitely one-step up from the Miata. Pay $10,500 - $18,000 The quoted prices are converted from US Dollars. Sourced from Collector Car Market Review and N.A.D.A.

STEWART, EMILY EVA
September 24, 1924 ~ November 9, 2013 We won’t shed a tear, thats not what Emily would have wanted, instead, we will celebrate her life. Emily’s children Loretta (Fulmek), Roger, Catherine (Buchanan) and Bruce, will remember her honesty, her matter-of-fact nature and her fierce independence. Emily was a jack of all trades and we all depended on her knowledge. Whether it was how to remove a stain, the recipe for pie pastry or gardening tips, Emily had the answer. Known for her thrifty habits, she knew how to stretch a penny and save a penny. Emily valued and appreciated the support she received from her in-laws, Rick, John and Terry. Emily was interested in the lives of her grandchildren, Troy, Karen, Amy, Brendan and Tina who provided her with so much joy. The happiest and most loving times of her life were spent with them. We will remember that Emily loved to go for long walks. We’ll think of her love of reading when we pick up a book. We’ll treasure the keepsakes that she sewed. We’ll miss the delicious pies that she baked for each holiday. We’ll continue to laugh as we remember her edgy sense of humour. We’ll honour the strength she showed in her final days and sip a glass of port in her memory. Donations in memory of Emily, may be made to the Central Okanagan Hospice House.

KORAL, LONNEY JOHN July 31, 1962 - November 6, 2013 It is with heavy hearts and loving memories that we announce the passing of Lonney John Koral, whose kind, gentle demeanour touched so many people in all different walks of life. Lonney was born in Edmonton, Alberta on July 31st, 1962, but lived here in the Okanagan the majority of his life. He leaves behind his wife Kiana, of 26 years, his parents Joe and Doreen, his sisters; Roxanne (Marcel), Jo-Anne (Todd) and Bev, his nieces and nephews, best friend Ralf and many others. Lonney has left a lasting impression to all who knew him, even those he just met on the street. We will all miss him dearly and think about him often. Lonney fought the big fight with Cystic Fibrosis aggressively, especially over the last 10 years of his life; always with the belief that he would “ ....beat this thing”. Tragically, it took him in the end, but we all admired his courage and strength through this incredible battle. “You are in a much better place Lon, and we know that you will be rewarded for your kindness, achievements and struggles. Till we meet again.....it’s not good-bye, ....It’s see you later. We love you Lon!” A Celebration of Life is being planned for the coming spring, 2014. In lieu of flowers, Lon’s family are accepting donations in his memory to purchase a Memorial Bench. Cheques can be made to payable to his wife, Kiana Koral at the Interior Savings Credit Union, 3718 Elliot Rd., West Kelowna, BC 250.469.6550.

No two real estate properties are the same. Every property has unique characteristics that make it different from the next. Even identical looking houses on the same street can hide things that could create differences in the value of each home. For instance, one house could have a newly renovated kitchen with brand new appliances and a finished basement while the other house may be in need of major interior repairs and lack the updated features of the other. These differences are not obvious on the outside, but will greatly affect the value as well as the sale price of the two homes. In order for a financial institution to have an understanding of the value of the property to support the amount of your requested mortgage they must have the property appraised by an independent professional appraiser with the experience to arrive at today’s value. In our current volatile real estate market, it is more and more evident the only way to actually arrive at a fair “market value” is to have one of your most prized assets professionally appraised. The appraised value of your home determines the value you are paying or how much money the mortgage lender can actually give you for home renovations, renewals, investment and other personal needs. Keep in mind, when you purchase a home the mortgage lender will grant a mortgage based on the lesser of the purchase price of the home or the appraised value. How is an appraisal done? There is more than one way that a qualified appraiser can conduct an appraisal for a residential property. The most common being the comparative or market method. This method is relatively straight forward comparing recently sold properties which are similar in characteristics and areas. This information is generally provided by the regional Multiple Listing board. After comparable, recently sold properties are identified, adjustments are made up or down for any differences. No less than three comparative sales are used in the appraisal process. This full appraisal will show the potential sale value of the property within the last 90 days, to stay current with changing values. Along with coming up with comparable sales, the appraisal will physically measure the rooms of your home and look at the overall condition of your home. Some facts to remember: • The cost of the appraisal is normally borne by you however, in some instances the cost of the appraisal can be waived, depending on what financial institution the mortgage broker is dealing with. An appraisal for a standard home will cost in the neighborhood of $250 plus applicable taxes. • For the most part appraisals are a necessary part of the mortgage process. • There are some instances where the lender will accept the B.C. Assessment Notice to determine the value of the property if your mortgage is low in comparison to that value but this is rare. • Financing is based on the lesser of the appraised value or the purchase price. When it comes to property over five acres in size, some institutions will only accept appraisals based on a maximum five acres plus the residence. Others will give value for the full acreage and whatever other improvements are on the property. • Should you have less than 20% equity in your home, your lender will require “high ratio” financing through either CMHC, Genworth or Canada Guaranty. In this case, the insurer confirms the value internally and a physical appraisal is not required. • If you are financing an older home the appraiser will state what the “remaining economic life” of the home is. If your home has a remaining economic life of 15 years then the lender will reduce the amortization to 15 years.

And she says more significantly, how it compares to similar listings in your particular neighbourhood. “Pricing is crucial when listing your home,” Singbeil said. “Serious sellers recognize that their properties must be priced within the current market conditions in order to obtain a successful sale, as has been evident this year.” The Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board is

Optimism for Tour fundraiser raises Christmas spirit housing sales ▼ HOT HOLIDAY HOMES
The Hot Holiday Homes is a self-guided tour of six privately owned homes, decorated by their proud homeowners and talented designers exclusively for this holiday tour. Each of the homes is unique and has been decorated to highlight decorating trend and enhance the style of the home itself. And organizers are excited to include three beautiful homes in West Kelowna in this year’s tour. The décor teams from Artistic Designs, Country Cottage, Ethan Allen, Home at Last Interiors, Inspire Designs, Expressions, Margaret Vick Designs, the Interior Design students from the Centre for Arts and Technology and Diane Valentini have created magazine-worthy holiday decorated homes for this two-day tour—Friday, Nov. 15, and Saturday, Nov. 16, from 4 to 9 p.m. both days.
The homes on the tour include: • A beautiful Upper Mission home, named the ‘Stone House’ for its wall to wall natural stone with custom mosaics, stone fireplaces, granite and marble countertops and even designer stone sinks! • A home lovingly transformed by its owners with two master suites, and a private deck that is ready for a party at a moment’s notice. This homeowner loves Christmas and has done much of the decorating herself. • A downtown Kelowna residence whose garden was much admired during the Flower Power Garden Tour. Now we’re inside this 1910 Victorian Revival which is home to three generations of creative women. • A 5,000 square foot modern-country home that can handle the visits of five children and
three grandchildren with room to spare! • A recently renovated, lakefront home with sweeping views of Okanagan Lake from almost every corner. The homeowner’s love of food and wine is obvious with the beautiful kitchen and wine cellar. • An ornately detailed custom home with inspiring lake views hidden behind an impressive wood and metal gate. The homeowner will be the artist in residence for the tour. The holiday spirit will be throughout these amazing homes with entertainment, food and beverage samplings, along with artists and artisans with seasonal products for sale. Tickets are available for $45/person at Art Knapp, Bylands, Country Cottage, Ethan Allen, Expressions, Green & Bear It, Lakehouse Home

October sales trends on par with 10-year average The Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board reported October 2013 sales activity of all Multiple Listing Service property types are up 20 per cent compared to last year at this time. Residential home sales last month were above the OMREB’s 10year average for October—550 units versus 510 —as consumer demand now more closely reflects long-term averages across the province.
Despite relatively weak economic, employment and retail sales growth in B.C. during 2013, an upward trend has been reported by most provincial real estate markets since the beginning of the year when sales levels were at a cyclical low. “This market can be challenging for sellers and buyers alike. Rising home sales combined with a downward trend in active listings have improved overall housing market
conditions in the Okanagan and Shuswap, yet we remain firmly in buyers’ market territory,” said Karen Singbeil, OMREB president and a Shuswap Lake area realtor. “Make no mistake, this is a very competitive marketplace we are in. “Successful home sellers set competitive asking prices out of the gate and buyers face their own challenges including interest rates creeping up and less flexible lenders.”
Sales activity tends to vary among property types zone-by-zone, due to the divergence in OMREB’s three market areas. “Unit sales have strengthened but you have to look at prices within property types and sale price trends within different price points to fully understand the overall picture of the current residential market,” Singbeil noted. Peachland to Revelstoke: Overall sales of
all property types reported in OMREB’s Board area during October improved by 19.7% compared to 2012 -- to 614 units from 513. Total residential sales for the month rose 21.5% to 553 units compared to 455 in October 2012. New listings taken board-wide for the month dropped 3.2% with 1,105 listings posted compared to 1,142 last October, while inventory was See OMREB B18

onsidering the season is slipping slowly into winter here in the Okanagan, the real estate market here as suddenly fired up. The Okanagan real estate market has seen a substantial increase in sales volume this year, although sale prices have not increased but remained steady, proof that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Last month’s statisREAL ESTATE tics reflected that overall RUNDOWN sales were up in the Central Okanagan from this time last year by 26.82 per cent. Residential sales jumped from 122 propCeinwen erties sold in 2012 to a Morgan whopping 166 sales for October 2013, that’s an increase of 36.07 per cent. While the condominium market in the Central Okanagan has become stale and over saturated, if sales numbers continue to rise, perhaps we can see the pendulum finally swing back to a more balanced condo market. Last month’s sales were up to 73 units sold from 55 in the previous year, reflecting a jump of 32.73 per cent. Townhouses sales were also up over 50 per cent from October 2012 with 41 sold properties to this year’s number of 62 sold townhouses. Single family homes sold for an average of $482,000 last month reflecting an increase of 7 per cent from 2012. Overall, housing prices in the Central Okanagan were up last month by 4.91 per cent. Although sales have been heating up and prices have remained steady, inventory has decreased overall from October 2012 by about four per cent. Single family properties dipped 12.06 per cent last month from 315 to 277 for new product for the month of October. Condos also faced a reduction of 128 new listings in October compared to 145 in 2012, reflecting a decrease of 11.72 per cent. “We have a very unique market at this time. On one hand we have increasing sales volumes and reduced inventory levels that would normally lead to rising prices. But on the other, especially here in Kelowna, affordability is holding many back from entering the market and as long as that remains the case, prices will be held in check,” said Mark Ranger, with ReMax Kelowna.
