Rockets seize WHL championship

Memorial Cup game schedule

Warren Henderson

All game times will be 4:30 p.m. Pacific

The Kelowna Rockets gather around the Ed Chynoweth Cup Wednesday night at Prospera Place after sweeping the Brandon Wheat Kings in the WHL final. Celebrating the victory following Game 4 are (from left) Josh Morrissey, Madison Bowey and Tyson Baillie. Josh Morrissey, then forward Leon Draisaitl. By trading away several players who had spent their entire WHL careers in Rockets colours, there was a legitimate risk of upsetting team chemistry. But with time, patience and commitment from the players, Lambert said the Rockets developed into the team both management and the coaching staff had envisioned. “Our team has come a long way from probably February when we hit a few bumps along the road,” Lambert said. “We weren’t sure if this was all going to come together, it took a little time but the key thing is that the players in the room believed, and that was the difference.” In Draisiatl’s case, the German-born forward had already had a taste

of the NHL before being returned to junior in January by the Edmonton Oilers. After an initial adjustment period with his new teammates, Draisaitl turned out to be all that the Rockets had hoped for. With 10 goals and 28 points, the 6-foot-3 forward saved his best for the most crucial time and was named the WHL’s playoff MVP. “If you come down from the NHL obviously people are going to expect a lot,” said Draisaitl. “I didn’t want to put too much pressure on myself, coming here and trying to fit into a group that’s already having success. “It definitely wasn’t easy and it took a little while, but over time we came together as a

“When we made the deals we did, it takes a long time to get your team moulded and come together in the right time. “There were bumps along the way but I couldn’t be more proud of the players. Every guy in that room was important. And our entire staff, they gutted it out and have done a great job.” Perhaps as important as the adversity the Rockets faced this season was the sting the team’s veterans felt last year after losing to Portland in the Western Conference final. Rockets captain Madison Bowey said there’s no motivator like the experience of defeat. “You learn a lot when you lose and especially in a conference final like we did last year,” Bowey said. “We sure learned what

family and that’s the most important thing. “I’m extremely proud of every single guy on our team, we’ve worked so hard all year.” And while Draisaitl may have helped push the Rockets over the top, both Lambert and Hamilton make it clear the team’s success has been dependent on far more than one player or person. Hamilton said it all starts with the coaching staff—Lambert and rookie assistants Kris Mallette and Travis Crickard—then filters down through every player in the dressing room, and throughout the organization. “I couldn’t be more proud of three young coaches that did such a great job and a great group of guys that we had,” said Hamilton.

For Bruce Hamilton and the Kelowna Rockets’ organization, it never gets old. One of junior hockey’s most successful franchises is back on top yet again after taking the Western Hockey League championship this week with a four-game sweep of the Brandon Wheat Kings. It’s the Rockets fourth Ed Chynoweth Cup win in the last 12 years, and the first since 2009. “You don’t forget these,” Hamilton, the team’s president and GM, said of the Rockets’ fourth WHL title. “It’s a great feeling and I couldn’t be more proud of these guys.” The Rockets finished off an efficient and impressive playoff run in just 19 games, clinching the title Wednesday night with a 3-0 win over the Wheat Kings in front of the largest and most boisterous hockey crowd at Prospera Place since the 2004 Memorial Cup. Dan Lambert, in his first season as the team’s head coach, was thrilled to be able to secure the championship on home ice. “It’s awesome, we were excited to do it in front of our home fans, I think that maybe that was the best thing,” said Lambert. From the first drop of the puck in the 2014-15 season, expectations were high for the Rockets, both from within and outside the organization. Hamilton and the Rockets pushed the stakes even higher in mid-season after acquiring two of the game’s top 19-yearold players in separate deals—first defenceman

it takes to win, and it goes to show our playoffs were terrific. “Our series against Portland this year was unreal, too. When you get a taste of losing, you really don’t like it at all. “We wanted to come in and win it this year and we did that.” Kelowna’s reward for its fourth WHL title is a fifth trip to major junior hockey’s ultimate stage. The Rockets will be returning to the site of their first ever Memorial Cup appearance 12 years ago, as Quebec City hosts the 2015 tournament

from May 22 to 31. “That’s where we went to our first one (in 2003) and we’ll be better prepared this time than we were then, I’m quite sure,” Hamilton said. “We know what we’re getting into and we’ve got a good break now. “I hope those other series (OHL and Quebec) go seven games. We’ll be ready to go when it starts.” The Rockets open the Memorial Cup Friday, May 22, against the host Quebec Remparts. @capnewsports

When Jodi and Rob Conti left their fourmonth old German Shepherd puppy alone for part of a day late last month, the pure-bred puppy was outside, in a fully fenced yard in the middle of Summerland. The couple were training their new puppy to be an outside dog and had left it with enough food and water to last the day while they attended to a doctor’s appointment with one of their children.

Summerland, the dog was gone. For months the family had researched the type of dog they wanted to join a young family with three children. Settling on the purebred German shepherd, Grace joined the family. Despite only being with them for a short time, the dog became a big part of their family. But things all changed that day when the dog disappeared without a trace. “It’s really torn us up,” said Jodi. “The whole idea with Gracie was we are a newly blended family and this was supposed to be something that brought our family together and united us.

It was the longest time they had left the dog out on its own, but was a necessity due to the doctor’s appointment. Unfortunately, it was the last time the couple would see their puppy. “We have a fully fenced yard with a latched gate, a six-foot high wooden fence with no holes. There was no way she could get out on her own” said Jodi this week. “The circumstances we couldn’t control. We were out of town at an appointment for the better part of the day. But it’s a fully fenced yard and she had everything she needed.” Upon returning to their home, located in a residential area of

Premise that dogs are stolen hard to verify

German shepherd puppy Grace hasn’t been seen since April 30 and her owners feel like she was stolen in what appears to be a growing trend of missing pets in the Okanagan. “This was supposed to be our family dog. All the kids loved and adored her. “She became like one of our kids. I didn’t have dogs growing up. I never understood what people meant when they would say their dog is part of the family. “But she was so special and she came at a very important time.” For three days and nights immediately after the disappearance of Grace, the family scoured the area, putting up signs and looking for any clue about where it went. They called local pounds, the SPCA, everywhere they could think to try and find it

without any luck. But Jodi is convinced someone has their dog. “Obviously I don’t know 100 per cent but my gut tells me she was stolen,” said Jodi. “It happens all the time. If you look on (classified websites) there are lots of dogs that are for sale that have been stolen. “They steal them for dog fighting or to breed them to sell and make money. Someone could have easily gotten $500 for her. “Some people say she may have gotten eaten by animals.

Advising homeowners how to reduce risk of fire Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Unless spring takes a turn toward something more soggy, this summer’s fire risk is expected to be high. With that in mind, firefighters, a city forester and a provincial fire information officer convened Thursday at the top of Knox Mountain to try and get area residents on board with maintenance programs that will reduce the risk to their homes, should fires be sparked. “We could have a fire come in and stop at the property lines (if homes were properly groomed

He explained it’s all about reducing combustible materials around the home. Another element to creating safer conditions has come from the province.

Keeping gutters and roofs clean of tinder dry material is one important element of the FireSmart program, but taking a wider view should also be a priority. Andrew Hunsberger, a forester with the City of Kelowna, used the caretaker’s house at the top of Knox Mountain as an example of best practices. “Some of the things that can be done to reduce the risk of losing a home in a wildfire is remove the fuels, in a 10 metre radius,” he said, pointing out junipers and

It could be people three blocks in because once embers build up they move. “So, people need to keep roofs and gutters clean, because as it gets drier it builds more risk.” Of particular concern are homes in Gallagher’s Canyon, McKinley Landing, Wilden, North Clifton and Quails Ridge. “We’ve focused on those areas because we see them as the most susceptible to a fire

Conference focus closing gender gap Both men and women interested in the economic growth of the Central Okanagan will gather May 22 in Kelowna to discuss how to better remove barriers and create opportunities to grow women’s impact on the B.C. economy. The discussion will be generated from the findings of study, “Women as a Catalyst for Growth: A BC Action Plan” (catalystforgrowth. ca/resources/), done by The Web Alliance (weballiance.ca). The alliance is comprised of more than 25 women’s business networks, representing over 10,000 professional and entrepreneurial women across the province. One of the conference workshops will be led by Valerie Young, titled “Overcome the Impostor Syndrome.” Young says people who suffer from the impostor syndrome often dismiss their accomplishments as “no big deal” or “if I can do it, anyone can.” An expert on this syndrome, Young is an award-winning author whose book, “The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women: Why Capable People Suffer from the Impostor Syndrome and How to Thrive in Spite of It,” has been featured in O Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, The Globe and Mail and Glamour.

ain in the feet is one of the most debilitating injuries we can be plagued with; it is felt in the arch of the foot (Plantar Fasciitis), the heel (Plantar Fasciitis or heel spur) or at the back of the ankle (Achilles Tendonitis). Unfortunately, we continuously use our feet, which makes healing from related injuries very difficult.

success, it gives up and healing stops. Shockwave Therapy breaks up scar tissue, restoring the function of the muscle and promoting new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. In fact, in a double blind study published in Journal of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society, 90%of patients suffering from heel and arch pain showed significant improvements with Shockwave. Furthermore, Shockwave Therapy (developed to break up kidney stones) has success rates of between 77%-91% in the treatment of other soft tissue conditions. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

Plantar Fasciitis is an overuse injury affecting the fibrous tissue that forms the arch. Heel spurs can form when the fascia tears at the heel attachment and results in pain in the center of the heel. Achilles Tendonitis is irritation of the Achilles where the calf muscle meets the heel and can result in pain in the calf, the Achilles, or the back of the heel. The inflammation from overuse leads to pain as well as deposits of scar tissue, further inflaming the area each time the Achilles or plantar fascia are used.

two-and-a-half hours the owner showed up to get their dog,” she said. “All I kept thinking is this is the only way to treat a situation like that. It’s sad. Someone has our dog.” Welbourne says she has provided her list to RCMP and feels like more should be done to warn the public to be vigilant about watching their dogs and keeping them safe. In a 13-year career that has seen him posted in the Fraser Canyon, Nanaimo, Kelowna and now West Kelowna, RCMP Corp. Cory Lepine said dog theft has come up in each one of those areas. But he also added he has never seen charges laid for theft of a dog in his own experience. “It’s tough unless we have a suspect,” said Lepine. “All of a sudden your dog is missing and you think it’s been stolen or you’re not sure. “Unless someone has a witness or a license plate or has a description of a vehicle, it’s really, really difficult (to investigate). “We don’t know where the dog could go. It could be in the Lower Mainland. Dog thefts happen. It’s one of those things that is baffling. There are circumstances where maybe someone comes across a dog and they keep it to themselves.” Whatever the circumstances, it’s certain that a missing dog is something that can deeply affect a family. “It’s really stressful,” said Conti. “I wish there was more that could be done for people who have lost or stolen dogs. “I don’t know if there is enough awareness that this happens and people are getting away with it. We just want to get her back. She means so much to our family.” If you have information you can contact Jodi Conti at hello@jodielynn. ca.

Opinion

Proportional rep looks good after big defeat To the editor: It would be tempting to speculate that the Alberta Conservatives would be inclined to consider the merits of proportional representation (PR) after their latest disaster at the polls.

LETTER OF THE WEEK A proportional ballot would have left them with 24 seats and Jim Prentice could have stayed on as the Leader of the Official Opposition. The end result would have been a provincial legislature with all parties fairly represented according to the popular vote, and a lot of experienced MLAs would still be there. The recent elections in Alberta and the UK are classic examples of just how dysfunctional the colonial electoral system really is, and how desperately we need to replace it with something that will

produce stable and productive governments. The first-past-the-post voting system was designed for two-party politics. When several parties participate in an election, the governing party will usually represent only about one third of the popular vote. More importantly, the political center field that normally ensures stability and productivity from one government to the next, is lost when you have a political house cleaning like the recent election in Alberta. Another classic example is the 1993 Canadian federal election where the Conservatives ended up with only two members in the legislature. The loss of experience was devastating, and it takes years to recover from that. The colonial system leaves a lot of political power with the politicians. Canadian politicians have abused that power, and used it to undermine our treasured democratic institutions:

Misogyny keeps raising its ugly head Men. Sigh. Maybe that’s not nice. Kathartic Maybe I should say, drunken sports fans. Double sigh. No, that’s not quite right, either. KATHY Misogynists. Dirty, rotten MICHAELS misogynists. Why are you still around and why are you still so stupid? Triple sigh. For those who haven’t had the benefit of seeing footage of the now infamous FHRITP—f&*k her right in the p&*#y—incident last week, that’s what’s causing all this ennui-related, print-based wheezing. While covering a Sunday soccer game, CityTV reporter Shauna Hunt fielded the aforementioned verbal attack and instead of wilting, she turned her camera on the hecklers and told them their words were disrespectful. It’s a point you wouldn’t think would require explaining in this day and age. Or, at the very least, you’d think once it was spelled out, the people lobbing the idiotic comments would back down, express regret and slink off into the primordial ooze from which they rose.

But no. These men, clearly having never been told not to laugh at their own jokes, squealed with self-satisfied glee and told Hunt what they had done was hilarious. One said their own mother would die laughing if she heard it, and kicked in the anecdote that Hunt was lucky they didn’t have a vibrator on hand to stick in her ear. The situation was nothing short of bizarre. But, what was worse is that it’s part of a trend that’s been ongoing—usually with women sports reporters—following a series of January 2014 memes. In them, American Internet prankster John Cain uploaded several real-looking clips to YouTube featuring live news reports, interrupted with the phrase: “f$%k her right in the p^&*^*y.” Charming, non? Even more charming is that it gained traction with some of the country’s finest who went about repeating it to unsuspecting reporters across the country.

TV reporters in the Okanagan have yet to experience the phenomenon. When asked, each I spoke with added the word “thankfully” to their response. Hopefully it’s because we have a higher class of men here, as one pointed out, and not a symptom of the length of time it takes for a trend to take root in the Okanagan. The thing is, nobody wants what amounts to a threat of rape yelled at them while they’re doing… well, anything, let alone working. Yelling FHRITP at a woman is a symptom of rape culture. It’s immature, disgusting and, for the reporter person who is trying to do their jobs, it’s humiliating. It’s alarming to me that these things even have to be explained, but in case they do here’s my two cents: Let’s all try to remember to treat others as we’d like to be treated. People, regardless of gender, aren’t punchlines. We’re not canvasses to reprint whatever weird thing you picked up from the Internet. Sigh.

NATURAL RESOURCES

Canada ripped off by low royalties paid on our natural resources To the editor: Who, in our governments makes the decision to set our royalty dues at or about one per cent? What a rip-off. Why not “pay” the international companies to come and steal our resources? Imagine a gold mine paying about one per cent to mine millions of dollars worth of ore and then shipping the pay dirt out of the country while we all have national and provincial debts to service with our tax dollars. Someone, in government must be “on the take” to allow this to happen. Mr. Mulroney is not in government any

more but in the back room I wonder if it is him? Our oil and gas businesses, all internationals, are also busy getting rid of our resources at an incredible rate. Christy Clark can hardly wait to get rid of our resources and promises that our provincial debt of $62 billion will just melt away in no time at all. Countries like Norway must be insane to have their royalties set at about 70 per cent. Which international oil/gas company would be happy enough to just make 30 per cent on the product? Do you wonder why Norway does not have any debt and has

billions in the banks? Canada is one of the richest countries in the world regarding natural resources and Ottawa has at least $600 billion+ in debt and what of the provinces—i.e. B.C. with $62 billion debt—my math is quite good but this does just not add up to common sense. Next time you speak politics with friends and family, please ask this question: What is a “fair royalty per centage”? Most people just don’t know how our politicians are screwing us and our offspring. Jorgen Hansen, Kelowna

CANADIAN MILITARY

Playing political game To the editor: It’s bad enough that our politicians speak out of both sides of their mouths, but now our military leaders are doing the same thing. Canada’s top general, knowing a report into sexual misconduct within the military would be extremely damning, issued orders to ignore the key recommendations weeks before the document was released. During a ‘say-the-politically-correct-thing’ photo-op, Chief of the Defence Staff General

Tom Lawson was obviously camouflaging his true feelings about the ongoing sexual harassment of women under his command. One definition of hypocrisy is the deceitful pretense of having some desirable or publicly approved attitude. William Shakespeare had a more poetic way of describing men like General Lawson: “O, what may man within him hide, though angel on the outward side!” Lloyd Atkins, Vernon

B.C.’S ROADS

Make sure your lights work To the editor: Daytime headlight and taillight use prevents accidents and saves lives. It should be mandatory use for all highway traveling with large fines and demerit points for those who don’t use their lights. Come on North America, lights on! Wearing seat belts doesn’t prevent

accidents, only potentially serious injuries. Gary Campbell, Kelowna Editor’s Note: Daytime running lights have been mandatory for vehicles in Canada since 1990.—DriveSmartBC.ca

Colonial elections outdated GOVERNMENTS FROM A8

Our political Leaders have arbitrarily adopted party discipline to control how democratically elected members of our federal and provincial legislatures act and vote. Party policies are being written by party leaders, not the people. Our justices are appointed by government leaders, not elected, and are accountable to nobody, and our Senate is like a ship without a rudder. The Canadian Senate does not provide

any balance of power like the US Senate that can write and amend, as well as stop any proposed legislation from becoming law. To add insult to injury, it would also appear some of our Senators have become part of Harpers re-election team, touring our country on the taxpayer’s dime, promoting the Conservative Party and its policies. Proportional representation protects the democratic process, and because all parties are fairly represented, the political center field is always well represented in any government. Andy Thomsen, Peachland

We pay top dollar for car and natural gas To the editor: I recently moved from Alberta and the additional charges on top of the natural gas usage are very similar in Alberta. Additionally, natural gas prices presently are at an all-time low. However, the amount charged for natural gas by the distributors for the natural gas are nearly twice as high in Alberta and are likely similar in B.C. Governments in both provinces do nothing about this price gouging by the natural gas distributors. The same applies for automobile gasoline prices where the price of crude oil has been reduced by 60 per cent but gasoline prices have hardly been reduced, only slightly. Joseph Byciuk, Kelowna

Land use project enlightening for students Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna Christian School students are working as mini-planners, slogging through the restrictions of the Agriculture Land Reserve, drumming up financial forecasts for potential businesses and offering unique uses for a five-acre plot of land adjacent to their school. It’s the work successful developers make a mint on, and it’s landed on the syllabus of KCS students

courtesy of teacher Brent MacArthur. MacArthur explained that project-based learning assignments, such as this one, have students deal with an open-ended question and they decide how they’re going to go about answering it. They work as a group, do their own research, make presentations and eventually reach a solution. In this case, MacArthur explained, the land being looked at has been

owned by the school for the better part of 10 years, and there are plans underway to make it more useful. The question that’s yet to be answered is how. So with his guidance, students dovetailed their studies to come up with an array of solutions. “We started with a wish list,” MacArthur said, noting that everything from a hockey rink to a hotel was contemplated in the early days. Then they called in

Todd Cashin, the city’s subdivision, agriculture and environment services manager to get feedback. That’s when they learned about the restrictions of the ALR, so a few ideas immediately hit the skids, while a few more were found to have legs. Focusing on how to turn farmland into a feasible business case, they called in more experts. Vic MacDonald, of Bees Incorporated, and Jeff Rickets, of Old Meadows Organic Farms, taught them a great deal about how to make a business out of agriculture. And with a deeper soil analyses and produce profits fueling their

understanding, they had a few more options to play with. This assignment wasn’t the most thrilling prospect when it was first presented, said student Derek Cresswell, 12, but now he’s hoping more project-based learning assignments come his way. “I thought it would be boring,” he said. “Now I want to do more projectbased learning. It’s more fun. We get to find our own ways to do things.” For his part, Cresswell came up with a way to mix agricultural with industrial, to offer both financial and social returns to the school. In a mini-model of the five acres, he laid

on farm equipment, where students could get practical work under their belts and the community at large could benefit. And using his new understanding of soil, he laid out what crops could grow and how they could use them, in the school and in the community. Student Tia Van Steinburg, 14, offered up a plan that saw a produce store meet the needs of the school. In it, high school students could get their volunteering requirements met, while a profit is also made. As she rattled off the ways that different vegetables would thrive in different conditions, and matching that with the larger economy, it was clear that Steinburg’s view of the world around her was deeply enhanced by the project. “I never realized how much land Kelowna had in the ALR,” she said, pointing out that the city is made up of 50 per cent ALR land. “I notice a lot more farmland now.” The project is now complete and MacArthur is forwarding the ideas presented to the higherups who are working on what to do with the land.

Harvey Avenue. The West Kelowna open house will be held the next day, May 20, from 4:30 to 8 p.m. at the Westbank Lions Community Centre, on Main Street in Westbank. At both open houses, public input will be gathered as part of the public engagement portion of a three-year planning study exploring future mobility needs, including route options and potential timing for the second lake crossing. In his presentation to council, Tekano said public input will be an important aspect of the study. The ministry says it will consider feedback from the consultation, as well was from a technical committee already established. The study will also take into account existing provincial plans, other technical data and local government input. While work by the

Starting next week, the province wants to hear what you have to say about traffic on Highway 97 through the Central Okanagan. Included in that feedback will be response to where a second bridge over of Okanagan Lake should be located and where the roads leading to it should be built. As reported by the Kelowna Capital News last week following a presentation to West Kelonwa council by ministry of transportation and infrastructure regional manager Murray Tekano, public consultation is about to start with open houses in Kelowna and West Kelowna next week. The Kelowna open house will be held May 19 from 4:30 to 8 p.m. at the Ramada Hotel on

technical committee has been done, Tekano told West Kelowna council the upcoming phase will include: • the public’s take on current performance of the Highway 97 corridor, including congestion and safety; • travel patterns, the role and function of the Highway 97 corridor • impact of the Bennett Bridge • needs of all users, including drivers, goods movers, transit riders, carpoolers, cyclists and pedestrians. When the five-lane Bennett Bridge opened in 2008, it was estimated the bridge would serve the region’s traffic needs for 25 years or more, based on an extensive traffic analysis conducted at the time. According to the ministry, more recent traffic counts on the bridge confirm that is still the case. But even with a second crossing more than two decades away, Victoria says it’s important to start the planning process now for a second bridge as population growth and options for road corridors on both side of the lake leading to a new bridge narrow. Another issue to be considered is where the road leading from the bridge on the Westside should join the existing Highway 97. By 2034, the Central Okanagan population is expected to grow from 197,000 (today) to nearly 255,000 people, an increase of more than 36 per cent. In addition to the open houses, a new website will be launched May 19 to will give members of the public an opportunity to submit feedback to the ministry’s and allow them to take part in an online discussion. What are being dubbed as “dialogue/ presentation” sessions will also be held by the project team with community groups and stakeholders to allow more in-depth discussion. The study area for the Highway 97 corridor study runs from just south of Peachland to Clerke Road/College Way in the north and includes Peachland, West Kelowna, Kelowna, Lake Country, the Westbank First Nation and the Okanagan Indian Band.

Sports Sports NATIONAL TEAM

Shephard to play on international stage Until this spring, Grant Shephard had never seriously considered the thought of playing basketball for his country. That all changed when UBC Okanagan Heat coach Pete Guarasci contacted the national cadet team coaching staff to remind them about a talented, 6-foot-9 player from Kelowna who just might have something to offer. Shephard, a 16-yearold Grade 10 forward with the KSS Owls, delivered on Guarasci’s recommendation by making Canada’s U16 squad at a tryout camp on Easter weekend in Toronto. Shephard, the only player born outside of Ontario to be named to the national team, will join the Canadian side for the FIBA Americas tournament, next month in Bahia Blanca, Argentina. Eight countries, including the U.S., Brazil and Argentina will be competing. “It’s an exciting opportunity for me,” said Shephard, who has also been a member of the junior Heat program. “It’s going to be tough competition, the best from every country will be there. I’m happy because I know it will make me better, even if I do get my butt kicked.” With the Owls this past season, it was

Shephard who often inflicted discomfort on his opponents, averaging 14.6 points and 9.5 rebounds per game, despite being sidelined for a month with a dislocated thumb. At the B.C. 4A provincial championship, Shephard helped pace the Owls to the bronze medal with 19.3 points and 12.8 rebounds per game, while also being named to the tournament’s second allstar team. KSS coach Harry Parmar said the national cadet team will be an important step for Shephard who has all the tools to become dominant player at the next level. “I think this will be an eye-opener for him, all in a good way, to get to see where he stands and fits in against the best of the best, and see if this is a viable opportunity for him.” said Parmar. “He has great hands, he’s very athletic and he can run better than most guys his size. “Maybe the best thing is his attitude, his willingness to learn.” Shephard started playing basketball in Grade 5 and last season, in Grade 9, suited up for the OKM Huskies. Joining a powerhouse high school program at KSS for his Grade 10 year has been the highlight of Shephard’s young career to date. The Owls won the Western Canada Basketball Tournament,

Kelowna’s Grant Shephard will play for Canada’s national cadet basketball program next month at the U16 FIBA Americas qualifier in Argentina. then placed third at the 4A provincials in Langley. “What stood out was being part of Westerns for the first time, KSS hadn’t won in 33 years, so to be part of that was great,” he said. “At provincials, we knew we could have won that, too, it was just one tough game that stopped us. We saw how good of a team we can be.” As for his gauging his potential at the national level, cadet team head coach David DeAveiro said Shephard’s showing at the tryout camp this spring in Toronto was all the evidence his staff needed. “Grant was the leading rebounder at the camp and to come in do that against some

pretty good athletes and players, that’s quite an achievement,” said DeAveiro. “I liked his athleticism, how got after it and his work ethic. He really wanted to make this team and he showed us that.” “He’s going to gain some valuable experience at the international level where the game is played a little differently,” said said DeAveiro. “There will be the elite there from the world of basketball and he’ll see it firsthand. Hopefully when he goes back to high school, he’ll take some confidence with him, be one of the top players and dominate at that level.” Shephard, whose favourite NBA player is 6-foot-10 L.A. Clippers

veteran Blake Griffin, hopes to make the most of this spring’s stint with the national team. “I want to work hard and get better, and come back next season to (Owls) and be a better teammate,” Shephard said. Shephard will head to Toronto on May 28 for a pre-tournament training camp with the national cadet program. The Canadians will then play in the FIBA Americas, June 10 to 14 in Argentina, with four of the eight teams to qualify for next year’s U17 world championship. Canada opens up June 10 with a game against Venezuela. @capnewsports.ca

Kelowna’s #1 Choice for Auto Glass

Dexter Janke was chosen 44th overall this week in the CFL draft

Former Sun Janke drafted by Stampeders The Okanagan Sun liked a lot of what they saw in Dexter Janke. So do the CFL’s Calgary Stampeders. On Tuesday, the Stamps made the 22-year-old Edmonton native the 44th choice overall in the Canadian Football League draft. The 5-foot-10, 205-pound Janke played safety and returned kicks for the Sun during the 2014 B.C. Football Conference season. Janke, a former running back with the University of Saskatchewan Huskies, had 14 tackles for the Sun, while picking off three passes for 79 yards. He also returned 13 kick offs for 348 yards and 10 punts for 64 yards. “A very good athlete,” Stamps’ head coach and GM John Hufnagel told the Calgary Herald when

asked about Janke. “The reason he fell is because of his past health. He had a couple of knee operations. He’s a football player. He’ll play special teams and work in the secondary, probably at the safety position.” In his one brief season in Kelowna, Janke impressed many with his play, athleticism and attitude, including Sun coach Shane Beatty. “Dexter Janke is a young man who not only is a great ball player with a tremendous upside, but he is a phenomenal human being,” said Beatty. “In my 23 years of coaching, I haven’t had many like him.” Janke was the first Okanagan Sun player ever invited to the CFL combine which was held this spring in Toronto. Janke will head to the Stampeders training camp May 29.

Head coach Dante Zanatta has added another sought-after recruit to his UBC Okanagan Heat men’s soccer program. Surrey native and Whitecaps residency club, Jeevin Kang, has signed his a letter of intent to join the Heat for the 2015 Canada West season. The 5-foot-6 fullback currently plays with the U18-Vancouver Whitecaps in the Northwest Division of the US Soccer Development Academy (USSDA). Kang has been a force to be reckoned with on the Whitecaps residency program for the past three years. Kang has also represented Canada while participating in a

as a fullback will only help the program,” Zanatta explains. “I have been able to work with Jeevin in the past and have always rated him very highly he is very secure with the ball and defends with a passion and has a very good soccer IQ.” Aside from playing both right and left fullback for the Whitecaps, Kang is highly effective in defending and attacking midfield positions, demonstrating the versatility of the newly signed Heat recruit. “As a player, my strengths are my consistency, ability to play touchline to touchline for 90 minutes, as well as my desire to win” states Kang. “I am looking

forward to being able to make an impact in each and every game and hopefully helping the Heat in becoming one of the top teams in the league.” Coach Dante was first introduced to Kang during his involvement with the B.C. provincial team. Kang played at U13 level, while Dante coached a higher level team, but Kang always joked “that one day would play for (Dante)”. Kang has also been a friend and teammate of Zanatta’s son, Dario, since the U13 level. Kang intends to study in the Business Management program at UBC Okanagan.

The Kelowna AquaJets Swim Club hosted its largest May Long Course Invitational to date, as 430 swimmers converged on the H20 Centre last weekend. The sixth annual meet, held May 9 to 11, featured 18 teams from across B.C. and Alberta. The AquaJets had 42 swimmers of their own racing in red caps over the three day competition. “The team did an outstanding job, from the racing and team spirit to the officials and volunteers managing and

running an organized and energetic event,” coach Peter Wilkins added. The Jets collected 198 personal best times through the weekend and saw four new club records set by Josh Zakala. Zakala, 17, lowered his own mark in the 200 Breast 15-17 and Mens Open categories posting a 2:26.69 in finals. Zakala also eclipsed a Nic Menezes record set back in 2009 (32.96) with his 50 Breast time of 32.70. Other highlights on the weekend were two Jets swimming to new

Forum to discuss Canada’s need for electoral reform A forum will be held Wednesday, May 20, 6:30 p.m., at Okanagan College to discuss the lack of fairness in Canada’s current electoral voting system and the need for better proportional representation. UBCO professor Wayne Broughton will explain proportional representation followed by several political candidates making their views known on electorial reform—Norah Bowman from the NDP, Wes Forgione from the Liberal Party and Robert Mellalieu from the Green Party. The event is free and is organized by Fair Vote Canada. In the last federal election, the Conservatives won a majority government victory with 39 per cent share of the national vote.

(Did someone here me chuckle?) Anaheim will battle Chicago in the Western Conference final while the New York Rangers will duel it out with the Tampa Bay Lightning in

the east. Which means I have only half a chance of being right in my Stanley Cup final prediction— St Louis vs. New York Rangers. I must admit that without the Vancouver Canucks or a couple of other clubs not involved this late in the playoffs, my attention has shifted to the garden rather than the television—which certainly pleases Tez. I had the pleasure of sharing my 60th birthday with a small gathering of best friends at the Memphis House of Blues on Bernard Avenue last week and I must give that

facility a full five thumbs up. Not only is the service tremendous and the food wonderful, but the portions are ginormous. If you are seeking a fun, fast, and fabulous spot to chow down then, make sure to check out Memphis. Believe me you will walk (waddle?) away fulfilled and full. Speaking of birthdays, I was gleefully reminded of the joy of youth and the impact technology has had on our different generations. On my birthday, my five-year old granddaughter Taylor gathered Tez and I in the

Not hearing clearly when many people are talking? Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, System Audéo V has been designed specifically to understand in group situations.

The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in company, or in the restaurant. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that are decisive when it comes to hearing things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory center of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

Hearing sensation! Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation.

Without Audéo V

With Audéo V

The New Audeo V hearing aids provide considerable reduction in noise allowing you to focus on speech.

New hearing chip developed Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing aid chip that is designed to improve speech comprehension in noise, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to

is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation. Interested people can register for a no-obligation demonstration of the Audéo V by calling 888.408.7377

A couple approaches a decorative bridge, flanked by tulips at Keukenhof in Holland. The gardens display more than seven million bulbs and is only open for eight weeks when the spring flowers are at their peak.

Keukenhof’s gardens exceed all expectations contributor

LISSE, Netherlands—As we’re driving toward Keukenhof, the sweet scent of hyacinths drifts through our bus of 26 travelers. Our tour guide thought we might like to see the growing fields filled with blooming bulbs. She was right. No one could believe the seemingly endless rows of flowers, the sights and smells. Think of driving through field after field of Iowa corn. Now substitute daffodils, tulips, hyacinths and any spring bloomer you can imagine. We all scrambled to get photos through the bus windows. Keukenhof (http://www.keukenhof.nl/en/) might be the world’s greatest display of spring bulbs. It’s only open for eight short weeks, when the bulbs are at their peak. Luckily, we were left on our own, as our guide pointed in one direction and told us to enjoy the bulbs. I worked my way around the perimeter of the garden, trying to get a better photo of the flower fields separated from the

toward the carpet of flowers. “The colours are breathtaking.” Keukenhof is a gardener’s paradise, a place to spend at least one full day, although I wished I had longer. Some beds are massed with the same flowers. When it’s something like hyacinths, the fragrance is remarkable. Since there’s always a breeze in Holland, the scent of flowers was never far away. Other beds offered incredible combinations of different bulbs, all blooming in consort. It’s the scale which astounds. One bed that stretched for hundreds of yards had been planted with repeating patterns of white daffodils, pink hyacinths, white anemones and tulips. Behind them ran a parallel bed of orange tulips. The garden is filled with more than seven million flowering bulbs, including 800 kinds of tulips. The 80-acre park has been putting on the annual display since 1950. There were about 10 of us looking over the gardens together, but I lost my traveling

companions as I lagged photographing everything in sight. As the sun dipped lower, some bulbs became luminescent, highlighted from behind as the light streamed through the trees. Finally, I ran into Winnie Ritter of Monroeville, who brought three of her daughters with her on the trip. They wanted time in the gift shop and Ritter wanted time with the magnificent blooms. At 82, she is spry and wanted to see as much as possible, but she never complained as I lay on the ground, stood on benches 5and stopped to shoot even more pictures. As we stood in front of an impossibly long, curving bed of white and blue hyacinths set off by bright yellow daffodils, we were able to carefully examine the bed and saw a thick row of unopened tulips that would put on a show a week later. “I’m so glad I got to see this,” Ritter said. “I’m in heaven.” As we headed back to the bus, I looked behind to see several small beds filled with striped tulips back-lit by the late

Evolution to conserve water Rain water capture workshop Gardening With Nature GWEN STEELE healthy, colourful plants. Awareness began when Kelowna introduced water meters and billed by usage. In 2009 with the support of grants from the Okanagan Basin Water Board, Lisa Masini and I co-founded the Okanagan Xeriscape Association to provide xeriscape information for the Okanagan. Created in 2009, the searchable plant database at www. okanaganxeriscape.org is now used by thousands of home gardeners and professionals. In 2010, when we built the colourful unH2O Xeriscape Demonstration Garden in front of the H2O Aquatic Centre, there was big upsurge in interest and xeriscape class attendance. This was the result of publicity around the danger of a very low snowpack and low lake levels. Later, the OBWB’s Supply and Demand Study determined that 24 per cent of all water usage in the valley goes for outdoor residential use. (Study available at www.obwb.ca/wsd/keyfindings/water-use.)

This created a target for wateruse reduction in residential landscapes. Recently, there has been a noticeable shift in awareness and increase in beautiful xeriscape landscapes in the region. Increasingly, when I compliment a homeowner on their xeriscape, the response is: “Oh, we didn’t create it, but we bought the house because of the beautiful

xeriscaped yard.” For the past year, the OBWB’s Make Water Work program (www. makewaterwork.ca/) has been collaborating with Byland’s Nursery and OXA to create the Make Water Work Plant Collection. With its launch this month, xeriscape plants will be more readily available in dedicated displays. Gwen Steele is executive director of the non-profit Okanagan Xeriscape Association.

Twenty-three years ago, during my first year in horticulture (working in the perennial department of Don Burnett’s family nursery) I was repeatedly asked: “What can I grow in a dry sunny spot that is hard to water?” Although I had gardened in Kelowna since early childhood, I never had faced this challenge. Researching in the library, I came across a book titled ‘Taylor’s Guide to Water-Saving Gardening.’ It introduced me to the Seven Principles of Xeriscape, an exceptional, easy guide for gardening successfully. I was hooked. Almost any style is possible. This method saves time and money. Between 30 and 100 per cent reduction in water use can be achieved. Xeriscape gardens are resilient in the face of drought and watering restrictions. Since then, I have been promoting xeriscape since 1992 and began teaching classes in 1999. From 1995 to 2003, my husband and I operated the first retail nursery to focus on xeriscape plants. In the large demonstration gardens, we tested the droughttolerance of many species. There was little interest in water conservation, but customers loved our

Local water conservation organiz– ations agree that rain water capture and reuse installations provides the homeowner and community a wide range of benefits. In 2014, the RBC Blue Water Project Grant selection committee awarded the Regional District of OkanaganSimilkameen a $90,000 grant to help promote storm water reduction options through focused workshops and a variety of rain garden installations throughout the Okanagan Basin. One feature of a rain garden is a ponding area. These depressions help to take advantage of run-off during a storm event by holding the water, slowly allowing it to sink into the ground. Slow infiltration (under two days) filters the water, reducing run-off volumes and pollutants entering the storm water system. Kelowna and area residents can take advantage of a free Rain Garden workshop

Big Highlander for big families By Bob McHugh Toyota introduced a completely redesigned and more upscale Highlander in 2008 (its mid-sized utility vehicle) that was bigger with three rows of seating, more powerful and more expensive. Bad timing, as that very same year the world`s economy took an unexpected and spectacular nosedive, which sparked a major consumer trend to scale down. This model offers has a more rounded shape with

The V6 engine versions of Highlander came with four-wheel-drive plus extra goodies like a back-up camera, a power driver’s seat and fog lamps. Above base, the higher trim levels were Sport, Limited and SR5 (only for 2008). A four-wheel-drive Highlander Hybrid with a gas/

electric powertrain was also offered and came in base and Limited trim levels. Hybrid power is provided by a 3.3 litre V6 engine coupled to an electric motor and they have a combined power output of 270 horsepower, which is roughly the same as the regular 3.5-litre V6. The hybrid`s city/highway fuel economy, however, is rated (new five-cycle method) at 8.6 / 9.5 L/100km compared to 13.8 / 10.4 km/100km for the 3.5 litre V6. Reacting to the new

economic reality, in an impressively quick way, Toyota introduced a substantially lower priced and more basic, front-drive Highlander, midway through the ’09 model year. It came with two-row seating and a 2.7 litre 4-cylinder engine mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. This engine can provide 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque at 4,100 rpm and its city/highway fuel economy rating is 11.8 / 8.7 L/100km. Highlander is a ‘Top Safety Pick’ according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, based on its front, side and rear crash tests. Highlander was included in a series of safety recalls (see list), including the famous “floor mat recall”, in response to mysterious defect that supposedly caused unintended acceleration. No changes were made to the 2010 Highlander, but for 2011, it got revised front and rear styling, with slimmer headlights, a new front grille and new taillights. The Sport model was

discontinued and the hybrid version got a (combined 280 horsepower) 3.5L V6. A third-row seat also became standard on all models. No significant changes were made for the 2012 or 2013 model years, which were the last of this generation Highlander. The completely revised 2014 Highlander, a sleeker family-friendly seven passenger cross utility, recorded its best sales year ever. A comfortable and secure all-weather family cruiser, the Toyota Highlander is a low risk purchase with a history of solid reliability and excellent resale value retention.

Plug-in adds Energi to Ford Fusion lineup Plugging in the Energi is a breeze—simply attach the charge coupler to the plugin port on the driver’s side front fender. The port has an LED light ring around it divided into four quadrants to represent the status of the recharge. Charging is complete when all four quadrants are lit. Other than the reduced trunk space and the hybrid technology, the Fusion Energi is like any other car. In Ontario, the green licence plates and the charging

By Lorne Drury Metroland Media Unless the majority of your driving is spent on short commutes or jaunts in and around town, the 2015 Ford Fusion Energi isn’t a car for you. But if the latter describes your driving behaviour and you’d like to be part of the ‘green revolution,’ then I would suggest you take a look at the Fusion Energi, which shares a powertrain with Ford’s compact C-Max Energi. Both are plug-in hybrids or PHEVs (plug-in electric vehicles), as they are known in the industry. These cars operate in either electric or gasoline mode. Where the Fusion Energi differs from traditional hybrids is that it has a battery in the trunk that can be charged from the power grid, producing an all-electric range of up to about 32 km. After the electric power is depleted, the vehicle switches seamlessly to conventional hybrid mode. What makes this plug-in interesting is that Ford says the car is capable of hitting a speed of 136 km/h (85 mph) in electric-only mode. I didn’t test it at that speed, but I did drive it in electric mode on the highway so for people who have short commutes, even if it involves highway travel, the Fusion Energi might work for them. Plug-in hybrids have yet to become as mainstream as the traditional hybrids. The Chevrolet Volt, Toyota Prius plug-in and the aforementioned C-Max Energi make up the main competition for the Fusion Energi, although

a new wave of plug-ins is expected in the coming months. So think of the plug-in hybrid as sitting somewhere in the middle of the technology hierarchy between the conventional hybrid and the fully electric vehicle. The Fusion Energi has a lot going for it; styling-wise it is a winner both inside and out. But the rub in the ointment of this five-passenger midsize sedan is the price—it starts at $38,399 in base SE trim and $40,599 for the top-shelf Titanium model. That puts the Energi right at the top of the Fusion price range. Our Fusion Energi Titanium tester priced out at $49,039 when you add in $6,840 in options plus $1,600 in destination and delivery charges. However, some provinces have incentives for green vehicles. The Fusion Energi, for example, qualifies for green licence plate in Ontario and is eligible for a provincial

2015 Ford Fusion Energi dashboard. government rebate of $5,808. British Columbia has just introduced a new program with rebates of up to $5,000 for plug-in hybrids. The Fusion Energi has been on the market since 2013 and for the 2015 model year has only minor changes in standard and available features. A rear view camera is now standard; while the SE and Titanium trim models have available upgrades like 17-inch, 10-spoke aluminum wheels. Ford has been working

CONTRIBUTED

with hybrids for years and has more than 200 patents alone on the plug-in hybrid power-split technology on the Fusion Energi. The Energi has a 2.0-litre Atkinson cycle four-cylinder engine combined with an 88 kW electric motor, powered by a lithium-ion battery. Combined, the two produce 188 hp and 129 lb/ ft of torque and power is delivered through a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The lithium-ion battery in the trunk area can be

charged using a standard 120-volt convenience cord in about seven hours, while the time can be cut down to about two-and-a-half hours with an available 240-volt home charging system. However, the battery cuts the trunk space to 232 litres (8.2 cu ft), down from 453 in the basic Fusion, as the battery itself is much larger than the one in the traditional Fusion Hybrid.

port are the only tell tale signs that this is something different. The sleek, modern styling sets it apart from many other hybrids and plug-in hybrids, but the rear seat headroom suffers because of the steep sloping roofline as on the regular Fusion models. In electric mode, things are dead silent inside the cabin, other than a bit of tire noise. Things return to normal when you switch

Acoustic blues concert hosted by Volcanic Hill Winery

Aerosmith will be coming to Kelowna for one concert at Prospera Place on Friday, July 13. FUNDRAISER Party in Pink Friday, June 12 7-10 p.m. Sandhill Winery 1125 Richter St. Kelowna . This event is a celebration of 35 years of serving women and children in the Kelowna community. There will be five gourmet food stations, a complimentary glass of wine (plus cash bar), prizes, silent and lives auctions plus live entertainment. Wear your pink or purchase a pink bow tie or boa at the event. For more information contact the Kelowna Women’s Centre at 250763-1040. CONCERT Tim Williams Saturday, May 30 8 p.m. Volcanic Hill Winery 2845 Boucherie Rd. West Kelowna Tim Williams will perform a soulful evening of acoustic blues joined

by local musicians Gail & Karl. Tim’s win at the 30th annual International Blues Challenge (in Memphis 2014) as Best Solo or Duo, and Best Guitarist (solo or duo), are just the latest accolades in a career entering its fifth decade. Williams brings to the stage a blend of passionate, gritty vocals and awe-inspiring chops on a number of instruments (including finger-style and slide guitar, mandolin and Hawaiian guitar among others) along with his wry sense of humour and deep knowledge of blues and roots music. His career began in the coffee houses of Southern California in the mid-1960s and continues today around the world from his home base in Calgary. Local musicians Gaill and Karl Hourigan, who will open the show, are the core writing team at the heart of The Malarkeys, a popular Celtic folk rock band from Kelowna.

Stepping out on their own as a duo, the Hourigans will have the chance to highlight more of their original songs, dive into old and new songs by other artists and explore different musical genres. Tickets for the concert, titled Blues Eruption II, are available at ABC Hobby & Games in Dilworth Plaza, Kelowna, Mad Hatter Bookstore in West Kelowna, at Volcanic Hills Winery, or online at kelownafolkclub.ca.ca. THEATRE Little Red-Haired Girl May 21-23, 6:30 p.m.; May 16-17, 23-24, 2 p.m Bumbershoot Children’s Theatre 125-1295 Cannery Lane, Kelowna Fun will be the focus of Bumbershoot Theatre Company’s production of ‘You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown,’ which will be staged from May 14 to 24. Featuring six Kelowna actors, the musical play will follow Charlie Brown as he sets out to win the

heart of the Little RedHaired Girl. Based on the Charles Schulz classic, Jarred Meek as Charlie Brown is aided by Linus played by Antony Knight. With their friends; Schroeder (Danny Tagle), Snoopy (Victoria Miller), Lucy (Tia Hatley-Webster) and Sally (Tracy Ross), they battle kites, blankets, school and baseball on their way to discovering what really makes them happy. ‘You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown’ will be presented on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 6.30 p.m. with Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. from May 14 to 17 and 21 to 24 at Bumbershoot Theatre at 125-1295 Cannery Lane. Tickets are available at the Bumbershoot Box Office, online or by calling 778-478-0142. Again, a ‘Pizza Night’ will take place on the first Saturday evening performance on May 16 when pizza will be included in the ticket price. A ‘PJ Milk and Cookie’ night will be offered on the opening Thursday show May 14. The Charlie Brown production will be directed by Tracy Ross and Danny Tagle leads the choreography. Ross describes the musical play as “high energy, funny and heartwarming.” For more information see bumbershoottheatre com.

OPERA A Royal Affair Friday, May 29 7:30 p.m. Hotel Eldorado 500 Cook Rd. Kelowna Although history proves she probably never actually said it, Marie Antoinette’s alleged “cake” reference has given Opera Kelowna’s creative team some great ideas. On May 29, Opera Kelowna celebrates its third annual Fashion Fundraiser with title sponsor Harmony Acura and production cosponsor artist Debra Martin in support of our International Summer Opera Program. The University of British Columbia has also partnered with Opera Kelowna in presenting the two-week Opera Summer Series culminating in performance of The Marriage of Figaro, Aug. 14 and 15. This Mozartian Opera is a riotous comedy with a

revolutionary subtext. The Marriage of Figaro follows the Almaviva household through a single tumultuous day as Count Almaviva, his wife and his valet Figaro spin a tangled web of love affairs, plots, and counterplots. The opera is based on the Beaumarchais play that caused an uproar in 18th century France for its subversive portrayal of uppity servants outwitting their aristocratic betters. Proceeds of the fashion fundraiser will go to this production of The Marriage of Figaro, Opera Kelowna’s first full mainstage opera. Meanwhile, the fashion show fundraiser will recreate the days of le Chateaux de Versailles and the illustrious Queen Marie Antoinette, a style icon in her own right. Sponsors Joel Sherlock and Peter Patterson, of Elevated Strategies, will welcome you on board The Royal Cocktail Cruise departing from the downtown sails, cruising our gorgeous Okanagan Lake and arriving in style at the Hotel Eldorado on luxury yachts provide by Rayburn’s Marine World. Footmen will greet you as you arrive and begin to enjoy world class, award winning, wines from 50th Parallel Estate Winery, elegant hors d’oeuvres and the Marie Antoinette Great Table filled with designer cakes and sweets selected just for you by our culinary consultant, Julianne Smith. Photographer Apryl Stead, of White Willow Photography, will look after the pre-event photo shoot. Celebrate the fresh new looks you see

2014 Community Leader Awards

TOP HONOUR: Casey

Hamilton

This year the Tree Fruit Project became a member of the Okanagan Car Share Co-Op and shares a truck to haul boxes of fruit to charitable foundations in the community. Hamilton is passionate about making a sustainable difference in the community and also works to promote green building practices among her various volunteer endeavors. “I’m so involved because I care so much,” she said. “I think it’s important to put your efforts where your heart is.”

HONOURABLE MENTION:

Brenda Rayburn In her nine years as the director of sales and marketing at Kelowna’s Best Western Hotel, Brenda Rayburn has been a driving force in the hotel’s movement towards green alternatives. She credits hotel ownership for pushing the envelope of becoming a sustainable member of the community but Rayburn has taken the ball and run, putting into practice many green alternative programs at the Best Western hotel. “It’s all about doing what you can, when you can,” said Rayburn. “I’m passionate about the environment. I made a choice to take on this role of education and awareness. It’s impactful and it affects our community.” Among the green alternatives the Best Western has put into practice are an environmental wing that is certified LEED silver by the Canada Green Building Council. Its rooms use reclaimed carpeting and wall coverings and feature infra-red sensors, geo thermal heating and cooling, master light switches making it easier for folks to turn off the energy consuming lights and an electric car charging station. The hotel has a green committee and a five year sustainability plan. It features a salt water pool, reflective film on its windows and LED lighting in its parking lot. It was the first hotel in Canada to have blue recycling bins in rooms and in 2011 Interior Health named Best Western its preferred hotel, based on sustainability. A grandmother of six kids, Rayburn says it’s important that everyone tries to do as much as they can for the environment. “Hopefully we can be leaders for the next generation,” she said.

2014 2014 Community Community Leader Leader Awards Awards

Environmental Leader

Casey Hamilton has always been about helping people. Whether it was volunteering in Vancouver’s troubled downtown Eastside when she was a student at UBC or getting involved in community food projects after moving to the Okanagan, the 34-year-old Hamilton puts community above self. “I think I have always been driven by helping people,” said Hamilton. “I didn’t really start to become actively community involved until my late twenties but when I was younger I was into helping people.” Educated as a dietitian, Hamilton earned a bachelor of science in nutrition before moving to Kelowna to begin her career. Working at Interior Health as a community nutritionist, it soon became evident that there was a huge need to help people in the community. Hamilton founded the Central Okanagan Food Policy Council in 2010 which two years later spawned the Okanagan Tree Fruit Project, collecting un-used fruit and distributing it in the community. Last year the organization collected and delivered over 17,000 pounds of fruit that would otherwise have gone to waste.
