COMMUNITY HAPPENINGS
BEN LEE 1930-2016
24.7
Kelowna mourns former city councillor Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
Flags at Kelowna City Hall are flying at half mast this week as homage to the man affectionately known around town as the ‘Mayor of Rutland.’ Ben Lee died Sunday, March 20, at the age of 86, after a battle with cancer. Among other things, Lee’s political career was a stand-out for the work he did in championing Rutland after it was absorbed into Kelowna in 1973, creating public parks and supporting multiculturalism. He left city council in 1996 after a 23-year stint in office, but he never faded away from the public eye, opting instead to quietly donate his time to the community he helped shape. His passing will leave a void in Kelowna and the lives of many who knew him. “I’ll miss him. Rutland will miss a great man,“ said Al Horning, who noted he often ran into Lee at community events and in places he continued to volunteer. “He was always doing something, even at his age, he would get up and get to work at the (Rutland Hospital Auxiliary) thrift store every day. And at Ben Lee Park, which is a big part of Rutland, he always made sure that it was in good shape. If it needed something, he was down there making sure it happened…It was something.” It was the continuation of community service that defined Lee, Horning said. “When I was young and finishing school, (Lee)
was my art teacher, and as I grew up in Rutland I knew him through sports, which he was always involved in,” said Horning. In later years the two became colleagues, both serving on council. “I worked with him for a lot of years on city council, and together out here in Rutland. “(Lee) was the type person who wasn’t confrontational, he loved people, he loved kids, and he was always looking after people.” His kind nature, however, didn’t make him an ineffective community leader. “If the people wanted something he would fight for it. If they didn’t, he would fight for that,” said Horning. “But he was never vicious like some politicians.” A new generation of politicians also took a moment to remember Lee and the example he set, at the beginning of Monday’s regular council meeting . Lee was “a unifying force for the entire city of Kelowna,” said Mayor Colin Basran, who memorialized Lee, the ‘Mayor of Rutland,’ on behalf of his council. “He was a quiet trail-blazer for multiculturalism in Kelowna, as a founding member of the Multi-Cultural Society and annual Folkfest celebration that we continue to enjoy on Canada Day,” said Basran. “A teacher, a coach, a councillor and a committed family man, Ben was an exceptional person who has left an indelible mark on our city,” said Basran.

Ben Lee, who sat on Kelowna city council for 23 years, from 1973 to 1996, was an ardent proponent of parks, multiculturalism and a tireless volunteer in the city. Lee’s valuable contribution to the preservation of cultural heritage was recognized provincially with the 1989 Public Service Award of the Vancouver Multicultural Society of B.C. His marked the first time the award had been presented to anyone outside of the Lower Mainland. He also took a lead roll in developing the city’s heritage management plan and Guishachan Heritage Park. As chair of the regional district’s parks committee
between 1983 and 1996, Lee was a strong advocate of park lands acquisition and pushed for development of a number of the regional parks we all enjoy today. In recognition of his years of dedicated service, in 1996 the City of Kelowna named a new eight-hectare park in Rutland in his honour. Ben Lee Park officially opened on June 24, 2001. A longtime resident of Rutland, Lee was born in Armstrong, B.C. and was married with two sons. “As a symbol of our

North Glenmore’s continual growth prompted Kelowna city council to support in principle a plan to build the area a new $9.1 million neighbour-

the region’s needs are growing, and current firefighting response times in some neighbourhoods lag behind the acceptable average because resources are spread too thin. To deal with the shortcomings, he made a pitch for the new Glenmore firehall and the resources to staff it. “If I had my druthers I would staff the station today with 20 people out of Glenmore,” said Carlisle. “But I know and you know that it’s not possible given all the other priorities council has and given the things that need to be taken care of in the city.” To address public safety in the immediate future, he requested that the Valley Road station be refurbished for somewhere in the area of $40,000 to $60,000 and that 12 firefighters be hired in the year ahead. Then, council could look at the option for a new firehall in the future. While councillors were generally supportive of the plan at Monday’s council meeting, some noted concern for the expense, while others asked about how it would affect the capital spending plan already in place. Coun. Luke Stack said he found the request to be reasonable, noting he’s seen the Glenmore area grow in size, which in turn increases its needs. “This seems to be a very balanced strategic plan, and one that I’m comfortable with,” said Stack, before the rest of council voted to support the strategic plan in principle. The fire department currently employs 96 fulltime firefighters and 45 paid on-call firefighters spread out over seven fire halls. The department maintains an effective response force of 16 firefighters at all times, considered the minimum effective response size to deal with a single-family residential house fire. KELOWNA

Kelowna Fan Xpo
Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
Ghouls, superheroes, the absurd and adorable converged in downtown Kelowna Saturday for Fan Xpo, which is essentially a smörgåsbord of all things nerdy. Comic book artists, authors, voice actors from popular TV shows and international cosplay guests were among the highlights of the second annual comic-con style event sponsored by New Vintage Theatre, a nonprofit charity based in Kelowna. Formed in 2012, the charity produces and encourages creativity in the field. They met their mandate this weekend. Creativity was oozing from the four venues where the event was held. West Kelowna’s Shelbie Bach went to Xpo dressed as her alter ego Sakura Elric. By day she works at a hardware store, but that hasn’t stunted her creativity. She made her costume from scratch, and the guitar alone took her three months, working four hours a night to complete. And, as people walked by asking for photos or just oohing and aww-ing about everything on her, it was worth the effort. “I love that we have a local outlet for all things nerdy—that’s really awesome,” she said. That sentiment was echoed by Zac Howay, who travelled to the event with Matthew and Darcy Jordahl, from Armstrong. “There’s a sense of community among geeks at these conventions,” Howay said. “I’m socially introverted most of the time, but I feel like I can go up to anyone at these things.” That was on display
outside the theatre when Chewbacca was seen chit-chatting with Spandy Andy. Spandy Andy was one of the performers on Saturday, and he noted that the event allowed him to flex his superpower.
“My superpower is making people smile,” he said, adding that he got his start on So You Think You Can Dance Canada. “Just being silly and allowing people to be happy in the moment is amazing.”

CANINE RECREATION
City hall eyeing additional dog beaches in 2017 Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
Kelowna’s furriest residents could get a watery play place if all goes well. City council was told that at least one dog beach could be created this summer, with more to come in the years ahead. At Monday’s meeting, city council was presented with results of a survey conducted late last year. In it city staff highlight
public appetite for more dog-friendly amenities and propose five beach areas—Dewdney Road in McKinley Landing, Cedar Avenue in South Pandosy, Poplar Point at the base of Knox Mountain, a small beach area next to the Sails at the base of Bernard, and a beach access point at the end of Lake Avenue immediately south of Mill Creek’s outflow—to be considered for conversion into a doggy paradise.
Each area comes with its pluses and minuses, everything from unruly dogs, unruly people and disturbances to delicate habitat and neighbours were raised as concerns, depending on the area. But council was told by parks planner Barb Davidson a thorough public consultation process is expected before anything put the timeline for the parks into 2017. This was bittersweet news to longtime dog-
beach advocate, Coun. Charlie Hodge. “I’m thrilled this is coming forward, but I’m not thrilled it’s for the 2017 budget, which means it won’t happen this year,” he said. To that, Davidson offered a sliver of swimming hope for dog owners. “I have assurances from (my boss) Ian Wilson that there may be room to do something this year,” she said.
there are enough dog parks in the city but 55 per cent think there’s a need for more lake access for dogs. The majority of those surveyed said they would support a small property tax increase to help pay for them. Kelowna’s only legal dog beach is at Cedar Creek Park about 20 kilometres from downtown Kelowna, a distance that has been criticized in previous surveys.

All of council seemed onboard with the idea of more dog beaches, so long as concerns were addressed. “It’ll be nice for us to finally put in place some amenities that we know are very much needed in the community,” said Mayor Colin Basran. But it’s not only doggy beaches that are being considered. Council is also looking at more dog parks, although there is less of a need for them. Just over half of the people surveyed believe

“The applicant has opted to add visual interest and depth to the building design through the use of a nontraditional colour scheme and mixed materials,” the report continues. “The lower floors along the windows will be clad in stone, providing a visual anchor between the building and the ground below. The southern portion of the addition will be in red, creating a visual focal point off of Hollywood Road.” The property currently used by the school district administration on Dilworth was listed for $6.5 million.

The site layout includes parking along the front and sides of the building. Traditionally, city policies recommend that parking be kept to the rear. However, in this instance, staff support the front parking as a means of preserving as much of the green space behind the building as possible.

Hearing loss is the third most common chronic health condition affecting older adults. Approximately 30% of individuals aged 65 and older have some degree of hearing loss, with estimates ranging from 70% to 90% of those aged 85 and older. “Hearing loss has often been associated with depressive symptoms and social isolation, which supports the hypothesis that social isolation and depressive symptomatology may mediate the association between hearing loss and cognitive decline.” Journal compilation © 2015, The American Geriatrics Society

Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. It’s a huge asset to the region.” The 49-kilometre abandoned rail corridor was purchased for $22 million by Kelowna, Lake Country, the Greater Vernon partners of Vernon, Coldstream and Areas B and C, in addition to a grant from the province. Resident Walt Duncan has cycled five recreational areas in Europe. “This will be as good as any. It will be a moneymaker for the region,” he said of tourism. Avid cyclist Kit Johaneson is looking forward to the journey along Kalamalka Lake. “It’s fabulous. This is a flat route and it will be friendly to use,” he said. However, Jacquie Wills, who lives near the corridor, has some reservations. “It’s a wonderful idea but they will have to work out parking for cars,” she said. “I hope B.C. Parks establishes a spot for horses and trailers at Kekuli Bay Provincial Park for the trail.” Planning for the trail is currently underway between the local governments and the Okanagan Indian Band, which shares a portion of the former track. “We want to make sure we’re cognizant of any concerns and public expectations,” said David Sewell, Regional District of North Okanagan chief
administrative officer. It’s hoped construction will start in 2017 and the plan is for a four-metrewide crushed gravel surface, although the trail mary be narrower along hillsides. Local jurisdictions will pursue senior government grants for construction but much of the necessary money will come through fundraising by the Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative. Brad Clement, with the ORTI, says more than $5 million will be needed for construction and he is confident there is public support. “We have this amazing community and it will take everyone throwing money towards it,” he said, adding that fundraising could begin at the end of April. “We have strong commitments already and other groups want to raise money.” Besides Coldstream, public open houses have been held in Oyama, Winfield and Kelowna. “Most people coming out say this is a great opportunity. People living closer to it have issues such as parking and litter control,” said Andrew Gibbs, City of Kelowna project manager. Gibbs said while there have been common concerns, specific issues have also arisen. “In Coldstream, we have heard about horses but we have not heard about horses in Kelowna,” he said.

COSAR rescues missing pair
Central Okanagan Search & Rescue (COSAR) located two lost snowmobilers on Little White Mountain early Monday morning. The pair, reported missing the night before, were the subject of an RCMP search by helicopter, but it had
to turn back because of the impending weather conditions. With help from the Kelowna Snowmobile Club, COSAR reached the lost pair and escorted them down the mountain. The pair were cold but unhurt.

Opinion OUR VIEW
OAS change helps the working poor The federal budget’s commitment to roll back eligibility for Old Age Security from 67 to 65 marks a significant shift in the priorities that had been embraced by the previous federal government for the past decade. The move by Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government is a welcome relief for many who will reach retirement age over the next several years. Former prime minister Stephen Harper hiked the eligibility age for OAS to 67, phasing in the change starting in 2023. That move represented a crippling financial blow to those who could least afford it. More seniors are continuing to work beyond retirement age. But that should be a choice and not a requirement, as it is much easier to enjoy working into your 70s from the comfort of a desk job, rather than struggling with backbreaking labour or menial tasks at minimum wage. The former Conservative government rubbed salt in the wound by measures such as increasing contribution limits for Tax Free Savings Accounts, something that would allow those with extra income to retire comfortably while offering no help to those living paycheque to paycheque. But the move to return the retirement age to 65 comes at a cost. The costs of OAS are expected to double over the next 15 years. A recent BMO study shows that today’s seniors are nine times richer than the typical millennial. However, Harper’s proposed changes would have no impact on today’s seniors, other than encouraging them to pull up the ladder on those coming behind. More can be done to make OAS sustainable for the coming generations. Currently, seniors making up to $73,756 a year receive the maximum monthly payment of $570.52. A clawback kicks in after that, with those earning more than $119,398 not eligible for any government supplement. Reducing the amount seniors can earn while qualifying for OAS would be a far more equitable way to preserve the system than a punitive blow directed at the working poor.

Tribute to a much-loved man: Ben Lee Ben Lee may have been affectionately City known as the ‘Mayor Confidential of Rutland’ but the work he did, both ALISTAIR in his professional WATERS and private life, benefitted residents across the entire city, as well as the region. Lee, the well-liked former city councillor and the man who was a driving force behind efforts to help the multicultural make-up of this city, passed away on the weekend. He was 86. I first met Ben when I came to Kelowna as a reporter in 1993. At the time he, and then-mayor Jim Stuart, were wrapping up long careers on city council and years after their retirements, the city rewarded both men with its highest honour—freedom of the city. But when they left office, it also did something that in many ways was even more fitting, especially for Lee. It announced both would have city parks named after them. Lee was a tireless champion of parks and the city announced an eight-hectare plot of land in Rutland would become Ben Lee Park. Today, the park that bears his name is one of the most popular in the city and stands as a testament to Lee’s desire to see open-air recreation space available for all Kelowna residents to enjoy. But parks are just a small portion of Lee’s lasting impact on this city. He was a teacher, a tireless volunteer with numerous groups, a long-time city councillor, he helped ease the transition of Rutland into the City of Kelowna following the highly controversial provincial amalgamation decree in 1973, he helped start the local multicultural society and he was a founder of Folkfest, the annual entertainment showcase that features the

talents of many local ethnic groups who perform on stage at Prospera Place during the annual Canada Day celebrations. In all my years knowing and covering Ben, I never heard anyone say a bad word about him and seldom saw him without a smile on his face. He had a quiet dignity about him, an air of inclusion and a friendliness that immediately put people at ease. As the first male Chinese teacher in the B.C. Interior in the 1950s, one could well expect life was difficult for him then. But, a few years ago during the province’s run up to its historic apology to the Chinese community for its treatment of Chinese immigrants in the late 1800s and early 1900s—a process Lee was specifically invited to participate in—he told me he had never felt the sting of racism himself. Instead, he remembered public school board discussions about the hiring of an “Oriental” teacher and one man, a caucasian, standing up to say: “What does it matter as long as he can teach?” And it was that same inclusive spirit that Ben instilled in others throughout his life and work. I saw Ben at Folkfest in 2014, quietly taking it all in with his wife Joyce, not trying to draw attention to himself. But repeatedly, someone in the crowd would recognize him, say hello, and come up and shake his hand. And when they did, Ben beamed, that familiar smile showing he was just as happy to see them as they were to see him. When it comes to community builders, Ben Lee’s name must be near the top of the list in this city. Kelowna has lost a man who wasn’t just the unofficial Mayor of Rutland. In many ways, he was the unofficial mayor of the entire city.

Letters ENVIRONMENTAL BILL OF RIGHTS
Canada needs her water rights protected To the editor: Water is not only a human right, it is essential to all life on this planet. Canadian laws fall way behind in our protection of the fresh water in our care, which accounts for 20 per cent of all the fresh water in the world. With so much water, it’s unacceptable that so many communities (primarily First Nations) have boil water advisories. It is time for us to protect our water from would-be polluters and exploitation (like Nestlé Corp. paying pennies per 1,000 litres for our water). I hope that my fellow Canadians will join me in demanding PM Trudeau to make real change by adopting and enforcing an environmental bill of rights. It’s time for the federal government to implement the right to clean water in Canada by passing an environmental bill of rights that respects, protects and fulfils our right to a healthy environment, including the right to clean water. Charmaine Miron, Kelowna
To the editor: Clean water. Two words that mean life; a good, healthy life. In the Okanagan, water issues have become newsworthy over the last number of years. One aspect of having clean drinking water in Canada, that I was not aware of until recently, is that we have no federal standards for clean drinking water. Canada lags far behind most countries when it comes to our water rights. In fact, more than 110 countries—over half of Earth’s nations—already recognize their citizens’ right to live in a healthy environment. Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms is silent on the issue. A federal environmental bill of rights would help compensate for this omission and promote better environmental protections, build healthier communities and position Canada as a leader on environmental rights. In this beautiful valley, we are coming to realize how precious our water is to us. It’s time for the federal government to implement the right to clean water in Canada by passing an environmental bill of rights that respects, protects and fulfils our right to a healthy environment, including the right to clean water.

Helping homeless attracts more of them To the editor: Sharon Shepherd just never goes away when it comes to the homeless. If she had her way I am sure she would round up all the homeless in B.C. and bring them to Kelowna where everyone here would have to care for them. There is a place where one can go and seek help if they want it and there are groups and places to help them. For those who continue the homeless style of life, they will continue to flock to the place that best cares for them. When you see cities giving them tickets to come to Kelowna,that has to tell you something. I think Sharon could get out there and lobby people and businesses for funds to look after them and perhaps call it the Home
Of The Good Shepherd instead of telling the council what to do. As harsh as it may sound, I think ignoring them would not make a bit of difference to them, they know how to survive in the style of life they have chosen to live. Begging at traffic lights, drugs and breaking the law in other ways is what our police have to contend with in Kelowna and comes with a cost. Not all the homeless are these type of people and help is there for them if they want it. Putting pressure on our city council is ridiculous. Their heads are not in the sand, they are aware of what they have been voted in to do. In closing I would just like to say that if all the concern that I see on TV and hear on the
news about the homeless was given to the seniors who worked all their lives paid their taxes, health benefits and the horrendous costs of the metric and bilingual programs and many other costs are now a burden in their communities. Could it be that the young and government of today hold the secret that they will not be old and wise like us someday! We know what’s happening out there and giving more to the young families is a higher vote percentage to keep you in power and great financial rewards in your retirement. They say that us old folks are the reason our health care costs are so high and yet the senior population of B.C. is 14 per cent. Can’t figure that one out. Hope someone can answer that for me. Russ Lennstrom, Kelowna
Time to do something about all the deer To the editor: The roaming herds of deer in the Crawford Estates area of Kelowna are causing major damage to my property and that of my neighbours. They have caused thousands of dollars damage to the trees, hedges, bushes and plants that have been nurtured for many years. We’ve resided here for 30 years but the problem has been escalating the past two. On a regular basis I’m chasing two to five deer out of my yard, sometimes four times a day. I’ve noticed my neighbours have invested in fencing, netting, screening and repellents in efforts to stop the animals, all to no avail. The deer have become habituated to the area and I’m now noticing the second generation taking hold. Trying to contact someone to address my concerns have been fruitless. I called the Provincial Conservation Branch only to be told
it wasn’t their problem and to contact “the government in my area.” Kelowna City Hall told me they didn’t look after these matters and to call the Conservation Branch. The Regional District of the Central Okanagan told me to contact the Conservation Branch and provided me with a local number, which led to a recorded message from the Security Dept. of Justice Ministry which told me to leave a message, unfortunately their mailbox was full. This invasive species is not unique to the Mission area, last week driving down Clifton Road I witnessed a vehicle with extensive front end damage and a deer dying on the side of the road. A second deer ran in front of my vehicle missing the windshield by inches. Two more deer followed in succession. It’s just a matter of time before
Apology owed to those who fear off-leash dogs To the editor: Marguerite and myself would like an apology from Roy Colden and Dianne Varga who wrote (Fear of Dogs Your Problem, March 18 Kelowna Capital News) that our fear of being attacked by off-leash dogs is our problem and we should get professional
therapy. Whereas, in fact, it is the owners of the dogs who should be brought to task for not obeying the laws of our city. Are you reading bylaws for the regional district and city hall? Jane Gates, Kelowna
someone is seriously injured in one of these incidents. I’ve noticed herds of 10 to 15 deer roaming the Crawford area at all times of the day and night and can only think that there are hundreds roaming the city. Perhaps it’s time for a cull before we experience the same problems that other B.C communities have had to deal with. Mike Humphries, Kelowna

She was born in Prince George and grew up in Vernon. She has two older brothers and her father owned a golf course in Vernon. When Routley and her brothers were young, they had golf clubs in their hands before they had an interest in reaching for the tricycle or stuffed toys. In 1997, Routley completed her visual arts degree at UVIC and a year later married her high school sweetheart. The couple moved to the Kootenays so her husband could complete his teaching degree. During this period, the couple had their first child while living in Castlegar. In 1999, Routley began to feel the itch toward self-employment and participated in the Community Futures program in her area seeking to enhance her
business development skills. In early 2000, after moving to Vernon to get settled in as a new wife and mother, the couple had their second child while Routley was still exploring selfemployment with her Tree House Photography hobby. At this same time, she was collecting antiques that would present her with a source of creative inspiration with their uniqueness. In 2004, after enjoying her new venture as a home-based business for about two years, she decided to sell it to a friend and then had her third child. Then the real fun started for this relentlessly tireless entrepreneur. Back to Earth Enviroproducts was actually created as a genuine venture entity in 2007 as Routley had met a classic herbalist
who exposed her to the developing medicinal products being created from native B.C. plants. The entrepreneurial bug bit as Routley fell in love with creating cleaning products, took classes and learned to create a range of personal care and cleaning products which she started to sell at the Vernon Farmer’s Market in 2008. She told me with great pride that a turning point with Back to Earth was having her products in the facilities at Silver Star and elsewhere in Vernon, which helped spread the word about her line of products, their diversity and quality. So here we have it, yet another entrepreneurial venture that began in the kitchen, with Routley in this case fascinated by aromatherapy, herbarium, the art of soap-making
and the idea of selling other earth friendly products. This has led, after countless hours of research and practical training, to Routley obtaining her credentials as a genuine herbalist. Moving forward, Routley has found sufficient retail space in Vernon to expand the bulk sale aspect of her personal care and cleaning products. Shortly, you will be able to order Back to Earth products online. Meantime, check out Kiley Routley’s website getbacktoearth.com and tell her Joel sent you.

Rivalry renewed between B.C. foes whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
After lying dormant for much of the last decade, one of the Western Hockey League’s most intense rivalries appears to have been awakened. There will be plenty at stake when the longtime B.C. Division foes, the Kelowna Rockets and Kamloops Blazers, face off Friday night at Prospera Place to open the WHL postseason. With the Rockets dominating the majority of the last dozen seasons between the clubs, the rivalry had lost much of its edge. After Kelowna had swept the first five meetings from the Blazers this season, it looked like perhaps nothing much had changed. But Don Hay’s Blazers turned the tables by beating the Rockets three straight times to end the regular season—including twice in Kelowna—3-2, 3-2 and 4-3. Kelowna president and GM Bruce Hamilton expects his defending WHL champs will have their hands full with a rejuvenated Kamloops team. “I’m looking forward to the rivalry getting back to what it used to be,” Hamilton said. “I’m a believer that any time you play a team that Don Hay coaches, you’d better get your boots tied up and your chin strap done up, because it’s going to be lots of work involved and
they’re going to be very prepared. “This is a great challenge for not only our hockey club but our coaching staff,” added Hamilton, “to get ready to play against not just a great team but a great coach.” In addition to beating the Rockets three times in March, Kamloops closed out 2015-16 with nine straight wins overall, to finish third in the B.C. Division at 38-25-5-4. The Rockets, on the other hand, went a pedestrian 4-4-1-0 over their last nine games. Still, as any GM or coach will tell you, the playoffs are a whole new animal. “It’s completely different,” Hamilton said of the postseason. “Kamloops is on an upswing, they’re going to be out to prove their finish was worthy of something. From our perspective, they beat us three times in a row which hadn’t happened for a long time and they outworked us in some of those games, and I think our work ethic and preparation will be important in this series.” While the Rockets could be considered the favourites based on their big-game experience, some believe the Blazers could have a psychological edge based on their recent success against Kelowna and a strong finish to the season. Either way, Rockets’

“It’s a huge rivalry between us and Kamloops, and they came in here and beat us the last couple of games,” said Gatenby, the Rockets defenceman of the year. “They’re a good team, not a pushover by any means. Some people have been calling us the underdog, so we’re going to relish that and be ready to go.” Games 1 and 2 go Friday and Saturday nights in Kelowna, with Games 3 and 4 to go in Kamloops next Tuesday and Wednesday, March 29 and 30.
Tyson Baillie made the fifth and final season with the Kelowna Rockets the best of his major junior career. The Wetsern Hokey League team acknowledged the 20-year-old centre’s exploits by naming him the Rockets’ most valuable player for 201516. Baillie, who tallied a career-high 43 goals and 95 points to lead the team 2015-16, was humbled by the recognition. “Its a huge honour, especially with the type of players we have on this team,” said Baillie, who was also honoured with the top scorer award Sunday at the team’s annual awards ceremony. “The names before me on that trophy, I’m honoured…I’ve been part of this organization for five years and they’ve been the best years of my life.” As much as Baillie was happy to accept the honour, he called injured goaltender Jackson Whistle the team’s key player. “He was our MVP this year, last year, and in the playoffs. He’s a great goalie, the most consistent I’ve ever played with and the hardest worker I’ve played with.” Joe Gatenby picked up a pair of awards, as the 19-year-old blue liner was named the Rockets’ top defenseman while also claiming the plus-minus award. Gatenby is humbled to be in the same company as all of the previous winners of the award, including Shea Weber, Josh Gorges, Tyler Myers and Tyson Barrie.

“It’s such a tremendous honour with those names. It’s great company to be in and something you kind of dream about, you hear all about the Rockets great defencemen. To be considered the top defenceman this year, I’m really happy they thought it was me.” Defenceman Cal Foote joined Baillie and Gatenby as a multiple award winner, earning the rookie of the year and scholastic player of the year honours. The Rockets 2015-16 award winners are: • MVP and Top Scorer—Tyson Baillie • Most Sportsmanlike—Rourke Chartier • Rookie of the Year and Scholastic Player— Cal Foote • Top Defenceman and Plus-Minus—Joe Gatneby • Most Improved— Tomas Soustal • Humanitarian—Riley Stadel • Unsung Hero—Justin Kirkland • Top Defensive Forward—Cole Linaker Also as an annual tradition at the ceremony, the Rockets honoured their three graduating 20-year-old players— Tyson Baillie, Cole Linaker and Jackson Whistle.

Heather Wurtele won the women’s race at Ironman 70.3, while spouse Trevor took silver in the men’s race.
TRIATHLETE COUPLE
Kelowna couple medals in Monterrey Kelowna pro triathletes Heather and Trevor Wurtele started the new competitive season on the right foot with trips to the podium at Ironman 70.3 Monterrey. Heather captured the women’s race in convincing fashion in a time of four hours eight minutes 19 seconds, nearly four minutes ahead of Denmark’s Camilla Pedersen. The difference was Wurtele’s domination of the biking leg, as she posted a time of 2:16:49, more than three minutes ahead of her next competitor. She then closed the race with a solid run of 1:22:09 to capture her first event of 2016. Among Wurtele’s highlights in 2015 was a second-place showing at the Ironman 70.3
World Championships and first at the North American Ironman 70.3 Championships.
SILVER FOR TREVOR
Trevor Wurtele made a late charge in the men’s race before finishing second, one minute behind Great Britain’s Tim Don, who clocked in a 3:42:53. Like Heather in the women’s race, Trevor turned in the fastest time in the biking leg at 2:03:22. Wurtele overtook American Matt Chabot for second place on the bike, then stretched his lead on the run (1:13:34) to secure the silver medal. Wurtlele is a former Ironman Canada champion (2013) and winner of Ironman 70.3 New Orleans in 2012.
Price leaves OMYSA The longtime administrator of the Okanagan Mission Youth Soccer Association is retiring. Carol Price, who has been the single point of contact for thousands of youth soccer families in our region, is stepping down after 18 years of service. She served on the OMYSA board of directors for three years and as administrator for the last 15 years. Carol has responded to calls and emails, not to mention many other various, behind the scene roles.
“The significance of this is hard to put into perspective, but to all those families Carol has been, and is, OMYSA,” said Lisa Laing, chair of OYMSA. Stepping into Carol’s position as OMYSA administrator is Jessica Ireland. Jessica has three daughters, two of whom are enrolled in soccer with OMYSA. She was previously an executive on the Terrace Peaks Gymnastics board where she was directly involved in sponsorship, coach liaising and fundraising events.

whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
In a sense, the 2016 Canadian university curling championships in Kelowna represent a dream come true for Justin Nillson. For the past several years, the 24-year-old local curler has been trying to drum up interest in the sport on the UBC Okanagan campus. As the skip of the first ever Heat men’s team at the 2016 CIS nationals, Nillson is seeing the fruits of his labours this week at the Kelowna Curling Club. “It’s been a bit of a leap, just trying to get funding, to get enough guys committed to train when they’re going to school, and all the traveling that’s involved, so it’s not easy,” said Nillson, whose team qualified for nationals earlier this year at an event in Edmonton. “But with Kelowna hosting, that was a big boost we needed and we were able to pull it together and put a team out there for the first time. “The UBCO (athletics department) has been very supportive, and if we can keep the program going out there that would be fantastic.” The four day-event, which began on Sunday and ends Wednesday afternoon, features eight men’s and eight women’s varsity teams from across
the country. Still relatively new to Canada’s curling landscape, the CIS championships are in their ninth year, with B.C. schools having competed for the last four years. Similar to the way university curling has benefitted communities other parts of the country, Kelowna Curling Club manager Jock Tyre said an ongoing local varsity program would provide an another important option for young curlers. “It’s a way to bridge that gap between our junior program, which is growing really quickly, and our adult program,” said Tyre, who also coaches the Heat team. “We’re finding that we’re losing students when they enter college and university, then they get married have kids, that sort of thing. “So what we’d like to see is them stay in a university curling program, they can carry on in the sport through to adulthood and try and fill that gap with some good competition.” Curling Canada has been managing and operating the championships of behalf of the CIS since 2008. Curling Canada’s Danny Lamoureux said bringing the national championships to Kelowna for the first time is simply another step in spreading the “We have hotbeds like
Ontario and the Prairies and places in Atlantic Canada that do very well, but we try and move this around to other locations, non-traditional places to try and jumpstart curling in those spots, and so far it’s worked well,” said Lamoureux, the director of championship services for Curling Canada. “It’s good to see UBC Okanagan field a men’s team and hopefully the women can do the same in the future. “We’d like to the (university) move to a club-based program and compete in this every year. That would be our goal.” From UBCO’s perspective, director of athletics Rob Johnson said for now, there are no long-term plans to support a varsity curling program. “In the future we hope to be in a position to expand our current offering of athletics,” Johnson said. “Curling is one of a number of sports that’s expressed an interest in getting support and we’re aware of that.” Nillson’s UBC Okanagan rink also features third Colton Costa, second Luke Cooke and lead Cam Mahler. The championships wrap up today at the Kelowna Curling Club, with the men’s and women’s finals both set to start at 2:30 p.m.
Justin Nillson is right at home skipping the UBC Okanagan men’s team this week at the CIS Curling Championships at the Kelowna Curling Club.

B.C. silver for Fripp Rockets the 2015-16 season with a 32-16-7 record, which included winning the Wildcats Presidents Day Cup tournament last month in California. Of those 55 games, not once—due to injuries or illness—did the Rockets ice a full roster, often missing as many five players from the lineup at one time. “It just shows the determination and character these kids had,” Hamilton added. The Rockets players are: Travis Mayne, Landon Markosky, Jameson Murray, Wyatt Head, Jack Froehler, Matt Alcorn, Quinn Van de Moselaar, Shay Cyra, Jacob Landry. Jeffrey Karpowich, Zak Keeler, James Fischer, Peter King, Curtis Magas, Brendan Speiser, Jeremy Hite, Ethan Hunt, Thomas Pattison and Raymon Bassi. While the Rockets players, for the most part, escaped sickness during provincials, the team’s coach and management staff, along with a number of parents, were hit with bouts of illness.

TIER 1 HOCKEY
A fourth consecutive provincial championship wasn’t to be for the Kelowna Fripp Warehousing Rockets. Still, head coach Lee Hamilton had only praise for his team and its silvermedal showing at the midget tier 1 B.C. Hockey championship last week in Comox. The Rockets, who posted a 4-1-1 record in the round robin, reached the championship final, before going down to defeat 4-2 to the Prince George Cougars. With just four returnees from last year’s B.C. championship team, Hamilton said the Rockets did a commendable job of growing together as a team as the year progressed. “We would have loved to have the gold, who wouldn’t?,” Hamilton said. “But the boys really had a great season. “We have 10 guys leaving the team, so it was pretty emotional for them,” he added. “They were a really close group of boys, and it was really a good environment for them all to play in.” The Rockets finished

Q
Do you recommend using rental or store bought machines to clean carpets?
Many people think they can save money and still get professional results by using rented or store bought carpet cleaning equipment. While it may seem to be true as you are cleaning, the long term results tell a much different story. These machines are ineffective and use a considerable amount of water driving the soil deeper into the carpet. The suction is always inadequate leaving the carpets to dry in 2436 hours or longer. A dry time of more than 6 hours causes permanent damage to carpet backing thus shortening the carpets’ lifespan. In addition, the chemicals used to clean are of poor quality and attracts soil leading to rapid resoiling and wicking issues. Don’t forget that cleaning your own carpeting is time consuming and physically challenging, too. If you want to save time, money and the life of your carpet, call Oxy-Dry®! We are a low moisture process that leaves your carpet dry in 30-60 minutes with no wicking issues! We exclusively use our Ozone Boost System to naturally sanitize and deodorize with no odor and your carpet will stay clean up to 3 times longer than other methods.

LIFE IN ORDER
Learning how to de-stress will make you happier
Some weeks present more challenges than others. Whether you are older or younger, we all experience the effects of stress in our lives. This past week, for me, has been one of those where one challenge has happened after another. They have all pulled my energy in different ways: Someone I love was faced with a health crisis that brought about a loss for my whole family, a client I care for has been faced with some difficult transitions that have required a lot of change and adjustment,
Seniors’ Issues MARJORIE HORNE and an opportunity that seems wonderful is taking me way outside of my comfort zone. Stress is defined as something that you feel, not by what is going on around you, but by what is going on inside you. I was giving a workshop recently to a group of elders and I asked them how they would define grace.
Their words were filled with the voice of wisdom. One gentleman’s answer was so profound, I wanted to stop right in the middle of the workshop and write it down. Coming to a sense of peace within yourself, is like seeing the ocean in a storm. The waves are bouncing, the sea looks dark, but underneath all is calm and still. We have the ability to be in a state of peace or grace at all times, if we go

If you have a hearing problem, are 65 years or older, and in reasonably good health, we invite you to learn about an exciting research study aimed at helping older adults with hearing loss.

within and be quiet, sink deep and know all things will pass. Being in a state of inner turmoil reminds me of the fact that being human brings imperfection. During stressful times, remembering this and accepting that both life and you are not always perfect is the first step to feeling more at peace. As always, when life seems to have taken a dive into feeling like you have too much to handle, if you ask, an answer will come. I was introduced to a piece done by author and minister Joyce Meher called Five Ways to DeStress last week and it was not until last night I realized how much I needed to stop and listen to her message. The first thing that resonated with me was that trust is the answer to all frustration. When our lives become overloaded and we are facing uncertainty, loss and change, if we try to do it all alone the inevitable result is to feel stressed. We have to learn to ask for help. That may be going to your own inner teacher or listening to the counsel of someone you trust. We have to know when to be quiet and listen.
We have to know when to say no to things that are not serving us or that are not bringing joy into our lives. Yes, we have to become more disciplined. Even when challenges are high, we have to stop and allow ourselves to laugh, to take a break, to give to ourselves. It is not easy to do when someone else is hurting, but if you don’t, soon you have two people in trouble and there is no peace in sight. It is a good idea to ponder what the “peace stealers” are in your life. Rushing is one of mine. If I have not taken the time to organize myself and feel I am going to be late with or to something, it makes me feel stressed. I am far better to do the things that will prevent me from feeling rushed such as prepare things the night before or cut some things out that are not really necessary for me to do. OK, I am still struggling with that last one. Taking an inventory of what things in your life are really making you happy and what things are not, is time well spent to uncover some of the changes you may need to make moving forward. Joyce offers five things to do to help you de-

not do anything to help themselves. Watching too much TV and trying to vegetate our problems away. • Exercise. Yes, short and simple. Not something we always like to hear, but consistent exercise, especially when it raises our heart rate, releases endorphins that make us feel better. It is one of the best stress relievers that can elevate our mood and reduce toxins in our bodies. • Take time to relax and do things you enjoy. Reacquainting ourselves with pleasure and how to get into that zone is something I will explore fully in a workshop called The Pleasure Zone in May. Even as we have more time on our hands, not knowing how to play or relax can be stressful and something we have to relearn. A Marcus Aurelius said:“Your days are numbered.

stress: • Practice shrug therapy. Don’t waste the energy to have a full on fit about something you have no control over. Instead, shrug your shoulders and say “It is what it is.” Stop worrying about things you cannot change. • Stay in your comfort zone. I found this rather a revelation as I seem to always be moving outside my comfort zone and advising others to do the same. What Joyce means by this is to recognize your limits and respect them. Stop doing things you are lousy at and focus on what you enjoy and what comes easily to you. It is good to stretch yourself and learn and grow, but perhaps don’t go right out into the vast enormity of space. Take a shorter trip to start. • Eliminate everything in your schedule that is not bearing good fruit. We all have things we are doing that don’t give us a good positive feeling. Perhaps there is something we know we need to let go of, but hesitate taking the action to do so. Listening to gossip when we know it breeds negativity. Repeatedly letting someone complain to us when we know they will

Since 1984
A ‘traditional’ tenor Scottish-Canadian tenor John McDermott is best known for his rendering of the song Danny Boy. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, McDermott moved with his family to Toronto in 1965. Growing up in a musical family, his only formal musical training was at St. Michael’s Choir School in Toronto, Ontario in 1971 and 1972. He performed his first concert at the Rebecca Cohn Theatre on Oct. 5, 1993, in Halifax. From there he continued to tour the rest of Canada, performing as an opening act for The Chieftains. Throughout 1994, he went on a tour of Australia and New Zealand, following the great success of Danny Boy, which had been ranked Number 1 on the charts there and achieved triple platinum in New Zealand. Within a year he began to develop his own following, becoming the headliner at concerts after years of being the opening act for other performers. McDermott also began to appear at several special events including the D-Day ceremonies in France in 1995, and the United
States Democratic National Convention in 1996. He has appeared on TV several times, both as a host of CBC Television concert specials in 1997, and in his own TV special entitled John McDermott: A Time to Remember, which aired on PBS in 2002. He formed The Irish Tenors, and after performing a large concert in Dublin, Ireland, in 1998, the trio spent some time touring the United States, appearing on television, and releasing an album. Since leaving the Irish Tenors, McDermott has continued to tour extensively, performing with his own group and with the great symphonies of the world. He continues to work to support the veteran community in the United States and in Canada. In 2000, McDermott dedicated McDermott House in Washington, D.C., a transitional home for homeless veterans. His latest album release, Journeys: Bringing Buddy Home, was recorded to help support fundraising for Fisher House Boston and launch the Canadian initiative for an outreach center for Canadian veterans. McDermott brings his Traditionally Yours show to the KCT on April 23. For tickets: 250-762-5050; online selectyourtickets.com.

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Jeanette Marlene Gruber (Wheeler). She was born May 19, 1951 in Kelowna, B.C. and left us unexpectedly on March 8, 2016. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband Robert Herring (step children Lindzee and Bob), daughter Tammy Gruber Jasper (Jim), granddaughter Brittany Jasper, grandson Sean Herring, daughter Kelly Bobiash, her loving siblings and their families as well as many friends. Jeanette will always be remembered for her love of the outdoors, her beautiful flower gardens, but most of all for the love and compassion she had for her family and friends.

It is with great sorrow that we share the sudden passing of Robert “Roy” Van of Westbank, B.C. on March 17, 2016. Roy leaves behind his son Bob Van (Bev) of Nanaimo, daughter Lori Van (Dave Swiderski) of West Kelowna, grandchildren: Roy Van (Vanessa), Rob Van (Danielle), Lyndsey Puhalsky, and Sheldon Puhalsky, great grandchildren: Alexandra Van, Seth Van, and Sean Van, one sister Betty Iwanchuck (Victor) of North Battleford Sask., his great friend and travel companion Janet Colban, many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends including the residents and staff at The Village at Smith Creek. Roy was predeceased by his wife of 42 years Irene in 1996, both parents George and Louise, his sisters Rita Stewart, Dorothy Chariban, and most recently Hazel Fuller. Roy was born on the family farm near Borden Sask. July 28, 1926. Raised on a farm he learned the hard work ethic well. He came west to Penticton in 1947 at the age of 21, where he took a job in Kaleden at a fruit packing house to learn refrigeration. He then worked road construction here in the Valley, then on the Fraser Canyon highway, before moving back into the fruit packing industry in 1958 where he worked first here in Westbank, and then Kelowna. Roy was part of the team that pioneered Controlled Atmosphere Storage. He retired in 1991 after many years as the Plant Manager at KGE #8 (now BC Fruit Packers) and finally as the Plant Engineer for their valley construction operations. Roy was well known and respected in the Westbank community he chose as home. He spent 45 years of his life with the Westbank Lions, serving a term as club President, then 2 years as President of the Westbank Lions Seniors Housing Society’s board of directors. More recently he also spent several years with the Ogopogo chapter of the Good Sams RV club traveling to many different destinations each year. Next to his family, Roy’s great passion for fishing, camping, travel, woodworking, playing cards, cooking, and watching the Brier Cup were obvious to anyone that knew him. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Westbank Lions Community Hall on Friday, March 25th at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to: Westbank Lions, c/o Westbank Community Hall, 2-2466 Main St., West Kelowna, B.C., V4T 1Z1. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com 250-860-7077.

WITTUR, RAYMOND ALBERT
Passed away March 15, 2016 at his home in Kelowna with wife Linda, cats and family at his side. Ray was born in Penticton June 29, 1938 to the late Alfons and Kathleen (Sired) Wittur. The family moved to Black Mountain in 1950. Ray attended Penticton Elementary and Rutland High Schools. He is survived by his wife Linda (Boulding), his six siblings Trudy Philpott, Glen (Pat), Rosalie Chatten (Jim), Gordon (Loretta), Richard and Laurie Hood (Gordie); his children Lea (Carol), Tracey, Derek; his grandchildren Randi-Lynn (Jeff ), Coletan Huston, Jennifer (Jonathan) and Quinten Larson; his mother-in-law Edna Boulding, sisters and brothers-in-law Patti (Jim), Tom (Toni), Janette, Jeff (Maxine); numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews. Ray was a hard working person from childhood, willing to try his hand at anything that he needed or was asked to help with. Leaving school after completing grade 10 he worked at Rutland Sawmill in the box plant then went to Kitimat as a chainman to survey the new townsite. When he returned to Kelowna he continued in that career working with Okanagan Survey Services Ltd. and TE Ferguson Land Surveyors. He was proud of having survey knowledge of most of Kelowna and area and was known to many as the best surveyor in town. Ray and Linda purchased the Wittur family farm on Gallagher Road and grew ground crops. Ray became known as “the corn guy”. Ray had a love of nature and animals, in particular, cats. They were a comfort to him during his illness and they will miss him. Thanks to Keith Roach for his nursing, care and support, Dr. Ronnald Schriemer, Home and Community Care, the Palliative Care Team for their compassion and assistance which allowed Ray to pass where and how he wished, with dignity and peace. Ray suggested that you donate to the charity of your choice (ie BC Alzheimers Society, Kelowna SPCA, Kelowna Heart and Stroke Foundation) or just look after a stray as he said strays can be animal or human, as sometimes when we are a little lost we need someone to feed us or just give us a loving comforting pat. The service will be held March 28, 2016 at 1PM at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com 250-860-7077.

CENTRAL OKANAGAN
Of Prime Interest: It takes a determined gardener to beat crabgrass Review your Every spring in early March the Greenery opens its doors to the public with its benches filled with early blooming annuals and perennials. Tell Seglar and his family have been servicing the Okanagan in this way for several decades now and every year the gardeners of Kelowna flood to the Greenery to get a taste of spring. One might think the folk at the Greenery just open up the doors in March and start selling; however, I know from personal experience when we had our bedding plant operation on Ethel Street they begin working toward the spring selling season before the Christmas season begins. One of the great things you can find early is the selection of huge tomato plants, many of which already have tomatoes on them. Of course you can’t plant them out yet but if you have a nice, well-lit area in the house to keep them in good shape until early May, then it is one sure way to “beat your neighbours” in the annual race to see who can get the first ripe tomato in the garden.
CRAB GRASS
One of the questions that pops up, especially in the heat of summer, concerns the control of crab grass in the lawn. For the uninitiated, crab grass is an annual weed that grows in the very hot
opportunities at mortgage renewal time IS YOUR MORTGAGE RENEWING?
Crabgrass.
CONTRIBUTED
From The Ground Up DON BURNETT
areas of the lawn and manifests as a low lying grass with fine seed stalks. It begins to turn a purple colour as the season progresses into fall at which time the seed ripens and drops to the ground. Crab grass dies before winter and only grows back in the spring from the seed it drops in the fall. For many years we had products available which contained a pre-emergence herbicide which stops seeds from germinating to give very good control; however, these are no longer on the market. There is still one product out there containing corn gluten meal which is
purported to give control; however, the application rate and timing is so important that if not applied precisely according to instructions control is minimal at best. There are some commercial companies which have a crab grass control program but again, timing is essential. My advice is to go back to the old method of controlling this common weed and that is to make your lawn so healthy and thick the crab grass has no chance of survival. The following is taken from my sheet on crab grass control: “In spring do a top dress and over-seed with a good Okanagan grass seed blend. “Let the turf grass grow at least two to three inches long well into the summer so as to shade the over-
wintering crabgrass seed which will prevent it from germinating. “Later in summer when some crab grass appears remove it by cutting below the crown with a knife and discard. Apply some top soil in the bare areas and re-seed again. “Repeat these procedures for the next two or three years and the crab grass will subside. Even though the problem will improve with this, it is necessary to keep up the due diligence in order that the problem does not worsen.” For my entire Information Sheet on Crab Grass email me at don@thegardenexpert.com.

Each mortgage has a specific term meaning you were guaranteed a rate for a set period of time. When a term is coming to a close your current lender will send you a mortgage renewal notice. Mortgage renewals are one of the most neglected decisions made during the life of a mortgage. Many homeowners stay with their existing mortgage lender because they believe it is too time consuming to shop around for a better rate. You owe it to yourself to call a mortgage broker as rates available to a mortgage broker are often as much as 1.7 per cent below the banks posted rate—that calculates into a savings of over $250 per month based on a $250,000 mortgage. Over a five year term that’s $15,000 you will save. A mortgage broker will find you the lowest rate and the product best suited to your specific needs. In addition you can be preapproved up to four months prior to your mortgage coming available for renewal. This is the best of both worlds for you—a pre-approval
guarantees you the rate for up to 120 days and if the rate goes lower during that period you get the lower rate. A winwin situation for you.
WHAT IS INVOLVED WITH A RENEWAL
Renewal is your opportunity to make changes with your mortgage and not incur a penalty for doing so. You can at this time increase or decrease the mortgage amount, choose a new payment frequency, change your amortization or the type of mortgage you have. The various types of mortgages available are fixed terms (six-month to 10-year terms), variable rate mortgages or a line of credit. As an example: If you are in a fixed rate product you could at this time easily switch to a variable rate mortgage or line of credit or vice versa upon qualification. If you have any high interest loans or existing credit card debt now might be the time to pay them off and include them in your mortgage. If you are increasing your mortgage at renewal, lenders will take into consideration your credit history, annual income, employment history

and property value to determine your qualifications. You may also have extra cash available. You can at this time apply it to your mortgage without penalty and reduce your mortgage amount. You can also leave all as is and simply negotiate a better rate. If you choose to leave your mortgage as is there is no cost involved to renew with another financial institution. Mortgage renewal time is a great opportunity to make the changes that are reflective of your lifestyle today. A mortgage broker will enhance this opportunity by discussing your current needs and securing you the best rate available and the product most suited to you.

HOPE ID#394200
6 YEARS DOLLFACE PERSIAN SPAYED FEMALE
Our little social diva Harlyn would love an environment where she can have daily interaction and (obviously)grooming sessions. She was heavily matted when she came to the shelter, but the staff has spend time addressing this issue and relieving her of the distress. If you have been searching for a happy cat who thinks humans are amazing, please ask the staff to set up a meet & greet. You will not be able to resist her beautiful green eyes & luscious locks.
4 YEARS LAB RETRIEVER/ PIT BULL TERRIER SPAYED FEMALE
We have lots of ‘hope’ for this sweetheart. She will need lots of TLC, something that she has not had. Once Hope bonds with you, we feel she will become a great family companion. With lots of patience, understanding and TONS OF LOVE & PATIENCE she will become a well rounded girl. She is progressing quite nicely on leash and will need a active family to keep up with her energy. Preference will be given to a local home in the Okanagan in order to support her continued care.

9 YEARS DOMESTIC LONG HAIR SPAYED FEMALE
Katie is a sweet, calm, loving girl who would appreciate a family of her own. Katie has one bad habit, that being she only uses her litter box for #1. We feel that perhaps because she was an indoor/outdoor cat, she prefers to go #2 outside. Hopefully Katies new family will be able to accommodate her needs then nobody will be stressed out. She deserves a loving home where she will be understood. (Please note for this reason, the Shelter is asking for a donation to adopt her)

Muffin is another one of our resident divas. She is a gorgeous Chocolate/Torti Point Bicolor. She will need a home where she is the only other resident (ie: No Cats, No Dogs, No Children)...she likes her humans to her self. Muffin has a very complex nature and her social needs must be respected and understood, therefore we hope to find her an experienced guardian. If you need more info, please speak to our staff.

6 MONTHS DOMESTIC LONG HAIR SPAYED FEMALE
2 YEARS DOMESTIC LONG HAIR NEUTERED MALE
Pickle and her housemates (Anchovie & Fish) were left abandoned behind a restaurant. Someone saw this happen and got her to the shelter. She is very sweet, loves to interact and can hardly wait for a home of her own with a permanent family to shower love and affection on. If you feel that Pickle would make a good companion for your home, come down and spend some time with her. She is house trained and OK with other cats.
Rosey was found as an orphan kitten with her brother. A kind person cared for her until she was ready to be put up for adoption. She is a real sweetheart, loves to socialize when she feels safe and secure. She will make a wonderful companion for a calm, quiet family who wants to interact with a mellow feline. Please ask the staff to set up a one on one meet and greet with her.
A kind person saw Saruman all banged up and living on the streets and got him to the shelter. He now knows that a full stomach, soft bedding & kind humans is just what he had been yearning for. He is still a bit wary, but we feel that once he is settled with a loving family he will become a pretty rewarding friend. He would really cherish and an opportunity to call a mellow loving household his own. Come down and spend some time getting to know him.

THISTLE ID#276113 7 YEARS RABBIT SPAYED FEMALE
Thistle’s owners could no longer care for her, so she is patiently waiting at the shelter for her new home. She can be a bit shy at time, but warms up quickly. She will need a house where she can be loved and not just kept outside in a cage all the time. If bunnies are the perfect fit for your home, please ask the staff for a one on one meeting and more information on Thistles’ care.

You pay for only the part of the car that you are going to use. The payment on a Lease is made on a much smaller balance than a comparable term loan. The tax is paid as you go, and not up front, as with a purchase. With a Lease you get a smaller obligation and smaller payment, and less taxes.
A lease gives you options that give you more control of vehicle costs. Equity may accumulate due to Toyota’s strong resale value; the value may actually increase! A lease protects you from any loss in vehicle value due to any unforeseen price influences (economic conditions, manufacture problems, accident declarations, vehicle loss of popularity, gas consumption, etc) . And you can buy out the lease and own that vehicle at any time.
Earn up to 25,000 points!!
A lease can give you better cash flow. The lease gives you a new car with smaller payments and the ability to cash in on any equity. Smaller payments may allow you to buy that new car (warranty, features, etc.) rather than a used one that may involve more maintenance or repairs.
