A TALE of TWO MARKETS

S

erious questions about commercial food growth and consumption have been impossible to ignore.

The fodder of award winning documentaries and even daytime television, those questions eventually gave way to a widespread pastoral ideal of modern day living.

And as the zeitgeist became decidedly earthy, farmers’ markets became a mainstay of communities across North America.

Kelowna’s, in particular, flourished.

As its proponents say, it’s one of the biggest and most successful markets of its kind in B.C..

That is apparent from the hustle and bustle of the market’s signature Saturday—but could it be a victim of its own success?

In recent months, plans for two “Granville Island” style markets have been announced to the public. From a distance it looked like a boon to foodies and farm-friendly folk, but a divide among

farmers was revealed and a number are making plans to part ways with the market in favour of something new, in the months ahead.

To get a better idea of what’s coming down the pike, staff reporter Kathy Michaels speaks to the farmers who will fuel those enterprises, a new venture and the developers working to bring their own visions of a healthy community to life.

Changing Kelowna shopping habits Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

L

ambert Schmalz is nothing short of passionate when he speaks about the space rumoured to be the future home of the Kelowna Farmers’ and Crafters’ Market.

“It will be unique— one of a kind,” said the force behind the project dubbed by others as a “Granville Island style” development on the corner of Springfield and Benvoulin roads.

It’s a title Schmalz isn’t keen on adopting. In city documents that lay out the project, his team describes Mission Crossing as a “permanent market, oriented to access a series of mixed use buildings that celebrate Kelowna’s historic agriculture and artisan community.”

When he gets talking, the project takes on an even dreamier quality. He’s envisioning Tuscany and other European regions known for their traditions, influence on high culture and cuisine taking shape on some prime B.C. real estate.

It’s a vision in progress, but Schmalz knows just how to bring it to reality.

“The company we hired to (design) this is the best in the west—they do work in India and China, too—but they’re the best,” said Schmalz, listing accomplishments like

KATHY MICHAELS/CAPITAL NEWS

TOM AND LAMBERT Schmalz recently gained a zoning change to a parcel of land at the corner of Springfield and Benvoulin that will allow them to build a Granville Island style market.

Sparkling Hill Resort in the North Okanagan and Whistler village to the design team’s credit. Both, he explained, are rich with character and detail and if all goes well, Mission

Crossing will be similar in style, if not scope.

As for the particulars, it’s early yet, but Schmalz has plans for a wine library on the site that’s a stone’s throw from the

Mission Greenway. There would also be artisan bread and cheese makers and, of course, the farmers.

All of it would be situated on an eight-acre par-

cel of land that’s divided into two sections— one for the permanent structures, another for the farmers’ market.

It’s the type of design Schmalz said the Agricultural Land Commission ate up with a spoon three years ago when he first ran it past them, but the project was caught up in a frustrating net of red-tape at the municipal level.

“I have one thing working in my favour, I have low blood pressure.

So, when I go to City Hall, I become normal,” he said, adding quickly that the building department is great.

But, given the fact he’s built numerous landmarks in the region—he took out his first building permit in 1957—the difficulty he faced in getting the concept through the first leg of the approval process has been surprising.

It’s why he won’t estimate when the project will be finished.

The land for a farmers’ market will likely be completed by next summer, but the indoor portion may take awhile longer.

“We only got zoning approval Monday,” said Schmalz’s business partner and son Tom, each time he was asked for a completion date.

And they know they’re behind the eightball.

Breaking up?

A rift between members of the Kelowna Farmers’ and Crafters’ Market appears to be turning into a chasm.

Former market president Wolf Wesle stepped down from the helm of market society, and now he’s one of the people spear-heading the development of a farmers cooperative.

“It’s been in the works for awhile because there was a need for some co-ordinated marketing. Most of us are too small to get into the marketplace because we don’t have enough produce for shipping or big outlets,” he said.

“A co-op can source from a number of farmers.”

The co-op would also formalize the split interests at the farmers market.

“A community co-op that involves growers in the whole community may want to consider starting a farmers market,” said Wesle.

It will soon be clear how serious the plans may be. Wesle said they’re filing papers to become an incorporated co-operative, and they’ll get the news on whether it’s going to happen or not, by month’s end.

In case it isn’t obvious, Wesle and the other growers aligning outside the Kelowna Crafters and Farmers’ Market structure are seriously considering moving to Urban Square.

Current market president Martin Miller says that’s just fine.

“If 10 leave, we’ll have them replaced right away,” he said, adding that the Mission Crossing project has more allure than Urban Square to the majority of remaining market members.

By his estimates, an urban environment can be a death knell to a farmers’ market. Plus, Urban Square looked to be a pricey proposition to their members.

Negotiations with the Mission Crossing people are underway, and a decision won’t be made until after summer, said Miller.

The only thing he’s sure of is that the decision will be made on consensus.

The market’s membership were at loggerheads after an opportunity to move onto the Urban Square site was embraced by the market society board, and spurned by members. Members voted 62 per cent against the move.

Despite the results of that vote, the board said they’d be moving to the north end location.

An emergency meeting among members to oust the board was held, and although they narrowly held onto their seats there has been a shift.

Ashlee Collins pleaded guilty to knowingly being in vehicle where there were illegal firearms.

They will be sentenced in September.

Meantime, Michael Edward Ellis, the alleged gunman, remains behind bars and will start his trial that month as well.

He’s charged with several counts of attempted murder, several counts of robbery and weapons offences.

The episode Westside Road on July 31, 2012.

The one-hour chase that led police from West Kelowna to Vernon, via Westside Road, started when Mounties tried to do a routine pull over of a Dodge Caravan.

The van sped away

and within minutes, shots were fired from both sides.

Unconfirmed reports have indicated that the van’s wheels were shot out, but they were able to continue their getaway by carjacking at least two others in their path.

Collins was the only injured party from the danger-fraught drive, although police have said the members of the three detachments involved were on tenterhooks throughout it all, as they feared for the safety of their co-workers.

The maximum sentence for Wysynski is life imprisonment.

Collins could face a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

District seeks public feedback on Shannon Lake floating dock

e s

n

Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

If Shannon Lake residents are interested, they can have a new floating dock to enhance fishing in Shannon Lake Regional Park.

The Regional District of the Central Okanagan has the opportunity to accept a $20,000 T-shaped dock, which is being donated by the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC, the Habitat Conservation Trust Fund and the provincial government.

Bruce Smith, communications and intergovernmental affairs officer, said the regional district is hosting an open house at Shannon Lake Regional Park—located at Swite

Road and Shannon Lake Road— Tuesday, June 24, from 4 to 7 p.m. to get feedback on the proposed project.

“There’s no cost to the regional district for this, other than any ongoing maintenance,” said Smith.

“And then we would have to come up with some kind of a trail leading to it so that it remains accessible for…everyone to use.”

Smith said the dock would provide enhanced fishing access for anglers of every age and skill level.

The proposed dock would be 48 feet long and eight feed wide, with guardrails and a connecting walkway that’s 32 feet long and six feet wide.

The regional district has already

received some response from questionnaires, which were provided at its Go Fish events.

“There have been a couple people (who) have said they don’t want to see a dock in the park… (but) they didn’t really give any reasons.

“But there have been quite a few people who are positive about it because they see it as an opportunity to further enhance the fishing that’s available for people on Shannon Lake.”

Regional district staff will bring a report back to the board after feedback is received at Tuesday’s open house.

Mussel eradication scepticism voiced Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

The head of the Okanagan Basin Water Board is skeptical about the results of a potash treatment to eradicate zebra mussels from Lake Winnipeg.

Yesterday, CBC reported Manitoba was “declaring victory in its first battle with invading zebra mussels,” having sealed off four harbours in midMay and injected the water with potash to suffocate the mussels.

“I don’t know the geography of those harbours, but the larva are very, very tiny and they are dispersed through the water, so I’m sceptical as to how applying potash in one harbour will take care of the problem for the lake as a whole,” said Anna Warwick Sears, executive director of the Okanagan Basin Water Board, whose background is in population biology.

Quagga and zebra mussels are extremely invasive as one mussel can

lay up to a million eggs annually. Their presence has, thus, destroyed many aquatic environments in the Eastern United States, Canada and, most notably, the Great Lakes.

This year, the OBWB has launched an extensive media campaign to put the issue in the public eye and draw the necessary political dollars to try and seal off B.C.’s borders with a multi-pronged approach

778-484-2688

with border inspections, publicity campaigns and decontamination sites.

Residents are being asked to write to their MLA and MP to urge action on the matter “just to communicate the importance of the issue” to those elected officials, Warwick Sears said.

“My understanding is that there is nothing that has been shown to eradicate the mussels once they

are in the lake system,” she added.

Alberta is also ramping up efforts to stem the tide of invasion as the mussels migrate across North America and up from the United States.

Earlier this spring the B.C. Liberals passed a motion to bring funding initiatives to the floor of the provincial legislature.

▼ ATALE OFTWO MARKETS

Downtown market expected to open next May

Habits from A3

Much to the surprise of the Schmalzes, who struggled to get their project through countless hoops over the course of several years, another market was brought to the public sphere months ago and is fast approaching a completion date.

“They rolled out the red carpet (for him),” said Schmalz, indicating that it was a mystifying chain of events.

URBAN SQUARE

Gary Tebbutt has no doubt that Urban Square will be a success, regardless of what’s happening elsewhere.

He’s been singing the development’s praises in the public sphere for the last few months, and the feedback has “literally been overwhelming.”

“The waiting list of the people we have that are substantial business-

es wanting to participate in the indoor market is somewhere in the area of 90,” he said.

The three-hectare site, which includes an existing 3,345-square-metre building from BC Tree Fruits, will offer an indoor market, outdoor market, office space, restaurants and brewery.

Its scope is just as vast as Mission Crossing, but the vision differs in that it has a grittier, urban image.

“Historical buildings do better than new buildings. Part of the charm is their age and the eclectic decor,” he said.

Plans to four-lane Clement Avenue will also place his market on a main artery of the downtown.

Tebbutt is also a lot more comfortable with the Granville Island comparison. Throw in a parallel to Pike Place Market in Seattle or Oxbow

Coun. Robert Hobson offered some words of caution Monday, when a zoning change for Missing Crossing was granted.

“I love (Urban Square), I have to admit,” he said. “But (Mission Crossing) is an area where a lot of people want to be.

“I wish (the farmers) every success, but I’m a little unhappy to see the break-up in the organization of farmers and crafters. If they don’t pull together, none of these groups may succeed.”

Read the agricultural sections of the Seattle, Portland and San Francisco media outlets and you’ll soon learn that Hobson wasn’t just being a downer. Sometimes there really can be too much of a good thing.

Supply in those cities stripped demand by the mid-2000s, leaving farmers roaming from one stop to another, looking for some way to get a leg up.

That’s crippled markets in even the most agriculture friendly areas. According to a study by Oregon State University, for example, 62 farmers’ markets opened in Ore-

Craig also oversaw development of a comprehensive array of specialized programs and services dedicated to frontline prevention and intervention for at-risk youth in our community. Operating out of the Kelowna Downtown Youth Center, these initiatives have won several National Awards of Recognition for groundbreaking work in this area.

Prior to coming to OBGC Craig served as a Special Education School District Administrator and Counselor for School District 59 (Peace River South). Craig’s impressive career in helping kids and families has spanned four decades. He will be missed and we sincerely thank him for his dedication and service.

… I’M A LITTLE UNHAPPY TO SEE THE BREAK-UP IN THE ORGANIZATION OF FARMERS AND CRAFTERS. Robert Hobson, city councillor

Craig began with OBGC in 1988 as Executive Director during a time when the Kelowna Boys and Girls Club consisted of only two locations in the city. Since then, he built OBGC into a valley wide organization providing a wide range of vital programs and services to thousands of children, youth and families each year. OBGC now has 33 service locations throughout the valley, from Osoyoos in the south to the communities of Falkland and Enderby in the north.

ket, the fish thrower is a community staple and has drawn in tourists from across the globe.

Tebbutt said they’re already in talks with quality vendors, who will be able to bring something like that to the table.

Urban Square plans are coming together quickly.

Tebbutt said they’re planning an opening date of next May. “For our schedule, which would include being ready not only with a renovated market for indoor vendors, but also outdoor portion for farmers market or the co-op, we need to start work by November,” he said.

Tebbutt has also said in the past he would have welcomed the Kelowna Farmers’ and Crafters’ Market to the outdoor space available on site, but the project is not reliant on them.

He’s not concerned about their decision to not follow his lead, nor is he concerned about the competition.

“I’m really a strong believer in the free enterprise system and the law of supply and demand,” he said. “The repurposing of a historically significant building is a plus to the entire community downtown.”

gon from 1998 to 2005, and 32 failed.

Closer to home, the odds haven’t been much better for entrepreneurial market owners, according to Martin Miller, the newly elected president of the Kelowna Farmers’ and Crafters’ Market.

“In the last 20 years Kelowna has had 12 markets start and not work out,” he said. “In the last couple of years two markets died in Rutland after a couple of weeks.”

By his estimate, there’s power in numbers.

He has 45 years of experience and add that number to experience logged by some of the others involved in leading the market, and you’ll come up with hundreds of years of expertise.

“You need an organization with people who have the knowledge,” he said.

Someone with a slightly sunnier view about widening the opportunities for local growers is former farmers’ market president Wolf Wesle.

He thinks there’s more than enough business to support Okanagan growers.

“This town is pretty big and spread out, so maybe two markets will make it more convenient for people to shop local, rather than go to Costco or the Wholesale place.”

From what he’s heard, Granville Market food sales represent around two per cent of the total dollars spent on groceries throughout the region.

The Kelowna Farmers and Crafters’ Market lays claim to 0.5 per cent of the community’s grocery budget.

“Maybe the two markets together would make up for one per cent of total sales,” he said. “It’s a step in the right direction, anyway.” kmichaels@kelownacapnews,com

NEWS ▼ OKANAGANTREE FRUITS

Picking of unwanted fruit to help hungry residents The Okanagan Fruit Tree Project is expanding.

The non-profit aims to alleviate hunger by gleaning, or harvesting, unused fruit from backyard fruit trees and will be adopting the Penticton Fruit Tree Project as a new chapter of the organization this year.

Harvested fruit is shared among the volunteer pickers, tree owners, and local charities and organizations serving those in need.

“The goal is to reduce the amount of wasted food and share the healthy produce with hungry people

in our communities,” said the project’s founder and president Casey Hamilton.

The Okanagan Fruit Tree Project’s success in the past two years has led to its current expansion.

In 2013, some 200 volunteers picked almost 18,000 pounds of fruit throughout the Central Okanagan—including cherries, apricots, plums, apples, and grapes—that would otherwise have gone to waste.

In 2012, the project picked 5,000 pounds of backyard fruit.

Fruit was donated to

City’s annual report released online The City of Kelowna has released its 2013 Annual Report: 120,000 Stories. One Community.

“The 2013 Annual Report provides highlights from the year, examples of how citizens’ lives were affected by city activities, along with a detailed picture of the city’s overall financial position,” said Mayor Walter Gray.

The City of Kelowna continued to lead in the development of a safe, lively and sustainable city through public-private partnerships, enhancements downtown and on the waterfront, plus innovative use of technology. This year’s annual report is an example of how technology is being used to enhance city services and engage with a greater number of citizens. For the first time, it will be primarily available online—saving paper while making the publication more interactive and useful for readers.

“Kelowna is more than just another pretty face,” said Gray, noting the hundreds of sport competitions, conventions, events and festivals hosted last year. “Our community and staff work together to make our city a destination, active and culturally vibrant; a place people are proud to call home.”

Bike to work and school campaign racks up 54,119 kms The Central Okanagan’s quality of life received a healthy shot in the arm this spring.

Participating residents discovered that biking to work can be fun way to boost community spirit, is good exercise, is good for the environment and put them in the running for some great prizes.

Families also enjoyed

the benefits of walking and cycling to school from May 26 to June 1.

More than 54,119 kilometres were traveled by bike and other active transportation options, like walking and skateboarding, during this year’s Bike to Work and School Week.

That’s the equivalent of going from Kelowna

to Saint John, New Brunswick, and back five times.

Active Central Okanagan participants reduced 11,726 kilograms or 11.7 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions in the region, improving air quality by reducing vehicle use and traffic congestion.

cycling commute by signing up for Bike to Work Week.

The Central Okanagan had the third highest participation in Bike to Work Week in the province— behind Metro Vancouver and Greater Victoria.

“We are one of few communities that also offers Bike and Walk to School Week at the same time and 25 schools participated this year,” said Mike Kittmer, active transportation coordinator for the city.

“More than 112 par-

ticipants registered as new cyclists from the schools.”

Some 4,000 students participated in this year’s events and the average participation rate at schools was 36 per cent in all modes (using a bike, a skateboard, a scooter or walking). About one-third of those students cycled.

Students and their parents travelled 45,831 kilometres in 10,448 round trips during the week.

That’s equivalent to going for three round-trips across Canada from Vancouver to Newfoundland

(or running 11 marathons) and in doing so saved over 10.5 tonnes of greenhouse gases.

A number of events were held across the Central Okanagan to reward cyclists during Bike to Work and School Week.

Celebration stations and new satellite stations in Peachland and Lake Country added to the excitement.

“The weather was a little unpredictable early on, but cyclists braved the rain to attend our events,” said Kittmer.

Investors Group and Sun team up for half-time event Michael Botterill and Investors Group West Kelowna will team up withthe Okanagan Sun football team up to provide a “Kick 4 Cash” event during the B.C. Football Conference team’s first two home games at the Apple Bowl.

The proceeds will go towards The Okanagan Sun football program.

“This is a community funded team that is in its 34th season which is an amazing feat,” said Botterill.

“What an opportunity for the community to be involved in an interactive half time event with a chance to win $5,000 cash and other prizes as well.”

The tickets will be sold during pre-game activities and through-out the first half. The lucky winner will get a chance to kick a field goal from the 45 yard line to win the cash.

The tickets are being sold for $3 to $5 with all proceeds going back to the program to help with equipment, recruiting and travel expenses.

“Community funding is huge for the Sun, it is what keeps the program growing. We have a lot of great people involved that are very passionate about the football club,” Botterhill said.

“This includes volunteers, sponsors, billets and fans that contribute to the many aspects of team development and sustainability.”

letter of the week Pipeline decision by feds wrong headed

To the editor: re. The Enbridge decision.

Of all the politicians speaking after the federal government’s decision on the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline was announced, no one more than Green Party leader Elizabeth May made the argument that refining the goop ourselves that’s dug out of the tar sands is an economic necessity.

This “value-added” perspective fails utterly to account for the risks of a vulnerable, volatile one-track economy.

What can go wrong when 26 per cent of Canadian exports involve oil and gas, when the overall merchandise trade balance can move from a $766-million surplus one month to a $638-million deficit the next, when 60 per cent of our food is shipped abroad for processing before it ends up on our grocery shelves?

Why are we not processing our own food, and creating jobs by doing so?

The perspective also fails utterly to account for the re-

Orchards, by definition, can be a

little more rustic than one might want for someone who struggles to walk or see the branches, and there are really only so many fruit stands one can swing by on the way to a semi-accessible beach to fit the entertainment bill.

There are places to go, of course.

We have a wonderful museum, art gallery and the Rotary Arts Centre, when it is open and has activities underway, is a sure-fire success.

The wine/agri-tourism stops have, by and large, done their very best to be accommodating.

Finding an easy, accessible way to highlight one of the key assets we’ve branded the valley around—generally our orchards, lakes, wineries, food and access to the great outdoors—can only make this city infinitely better.

And for those of us just looking to take a leisurely stroll mid-winter, without bundling up or mixing in a light jog to keep warm, the buildings will be a light, bright bustling place to mingle with the masses on one of our dreary perma-grey afternoons.

All in all, there’s just nothing about a Granville Island-style market that doesn’t scream cream of the crop initiative.

Here’s hoping the designs are dynamic enough to create a quality vintage building worthy of our refined agricultural taste.

Canadians urged to read veterans’ report

To the editor: As the chairman of the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs, it is truly an honour to work each day in support of Canadian veterans.

Last week our committee released a report entitled the New Veterans Charter: Moving Forward.

I am pleased that all members on the committee worked hard to provide 14 positive recom-

mendations to the government.

I encourage all Canadians, and especially our veterans and their family members, to read this report, found at www.parl. gc.ca.

It is not a Conservative, Liberal or NDP report. It is a bi-partisan, unanimous committee report on the issues that are facing Canadian veterans and their families.

And what do we call

▼ BLOOD DONATIONS

Thanks for giving the gift of life To the editor: To everyone who takes the time to donate blood, I can’t thank you enough.

My husband donated blood for 35 years, not knowing that sudden-

ly one day he would need blood himself.

I can’t be more grateful for those people who donate blood.

Junette Taylor, Westbank

for? Above all else, we call on the government to review the medical releasing process in the Canadian Armed Forces so veterans will have a smooth transition when they arrive at Veterans Affairs.

We call on the government to enshrine the Veterans Bill of Rights into legislation, giving it the full force of law.

And we call on the government to streamline

programs, review the disability award and expand programs for veterans’ families.

We recognize that the majority of Canadian veterans and their families are well served under the new Veterans’ Charter.

But we, as a committee, as a government and as a country, must remain focused to help those who fall through the cracks.

There are some 700,000 veterans living

in Canada, of whom approximately 140,000 are in receipt of a benefit.

This is a big job but I believe our government is up to the challenge.

And I expect that our bi-partisan committee report will help move things forward, so we can be confident we are doing the best we can for our injured veterans and their families.

Greg Kerr, MP West Nova

Water would help posties at this warm time of year To the editor: I recently spoke to one of our postal carriers and he shared with me that in the Kelowna heat, not only does he carry pounds of mail on his route, but he is also the bearer of his own water which most carriers need desperately.

Seeing how through

rain, sleet, snow and heat carriers devotedly deliver mail, maybe we the receivers could leave some fresh water out for the parched men and women out their routes.

After all, they are walking miles a day so can we receive our mail.

Maybe each apart-

ment building could leave a water bottle out and a recycling bag for them, making their mail bag less heavier.

Just a thought to pay it forward.

Northern Gateway project will spur protests From Enbridge A10

lationship of oil and gas to climate change, and the costs of climate change.

Instead of subsidizing the oil and gas industry by more than $3 billion per year, we should be pour1ing that money into climate change mitigation.

TD Bank economists finally reported in April what the (now unfunded and defunct) National Roundtable on the Environment and the Economy said in 2011: every dollar invested in climate change prevention—severe weather resistant buildings, for example— will yield anywhere from $9 to $38 worth of avoided costs in the future.

By the way, the cost of the 2013 floods in Calgary was $6 billion.

As I write, Southern Albertans are preparing for new flooding amid heavy rainfall warnings.

Instead of being frightened into believing that we somehow need oil and gas for economic well-be-

ing and stability, we need to grasp the fact that the number of jobs created for every $1 million invested in oil and gas is two.

The number created for every $1 million invested in clean energy is 15.

We also need to grasp the fact that the price of solar energy has dropped 75 per cent just since 2008.

Why don’t we have more solar energy projects in the Okanagan?

It’s time to wise up, folks, and stop taking what the federal government says is gospel truth.

The real truth is, we’re in serious trouble in this country due to our reliance on fossil fuels—not just economic and climate trouble, but also social.

By deciding to go ahead with Northern Gateway, the federal government has essentially declared war on the environment and on B.C. coastal and tourism industries.

On Wednesday, B.C.

First Nations echoed back that declaration, while protesters in Vancouver laid their bodies down in the streets.

Those protesters are someone’s son or daughter, niece and nephew.

We’re probably six degrees of separation or fewer from knowing all of them personally.

Do we want war, or do we want to pay attention to what the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said in its last report?

It said we need to undertake drastic action to limit emissions of greenhouse gases if we want to save ourselves.

The economic impact of meeting even the most ambitious goals the IPCC considered was surprising small—an estimated reduction in economic growth of a fraction of one per cent per year (0.06 per cent, to be exact).

Salvation will not come much cheaper, and salvation is what we need, not tall tales about how

lucky we are to have all that goop in the far north.

If politicians told the truth, they would say that all that stands in the way of saving the planet is vested interests—the interests of the rich oil and gas barons and the interests of politicians themselves, whose election or re-election depends on Canadians stand idly by, eyes glazed over, letting the oil and gas industry get away with it.

It’s time to wake up, and stop repeating that dim-witted observation that protesters drive cars to protests, don’t they. We need to demand from our politicians that they get on the right road, today, and step on it.

If we don’t, we’re going down. This is a matter of science, not fear-mongering. It’s a matter of degrees, celsius degrees.

The popular Cora restaurant in Kelowna celebrated its official grand re-opening Thursday. The breakfast and lunch restaurant was previously located at Burtch Plaza but the strip mall was badly damaged by a fire two years ago, causing the restaurant to find a new home in Orchard Park Shopping Centre. Helping to mark the re-opening was the Cora traditional egg cracking ceremony for the first omelette (top photo) with Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray and Coun.

Maxine DeHart (centre) taking part. Franchise owners Pam and Warren MacPhee (middle photo, left) also presented a donation to the Kelowna Firefighters Charitable Society of $2,136.55 to society secretary Mike Hill and Kelowna Fire Chief Jeff Carlisle (right). The proceeds were raised at a special friends and family day hosted by Cora June 1. Also on hand for the opening was the founder of the restaurant chain, Cora Tsouflidou. (lower photo)

country, over the last several decades some of greatest songs in music history were born.

On Saturday, June 28,

the students from Wentworth Music will hit the stage once again with a musical tribute entitled Canada Rocks—a tribute to Canadian classic rock.

This top-shelf production, believed to be the largest of its kind in the country, will give its audience the opportunity to see and hear a full sampling of how music from the the 1970s through to the 1990s impacted Canadian culture and helped create the soundtrack millions have made a part of their lives.

Each year hundreds of students taking lessons at Wentworth Music get to experience the opportunity to be put into bands and perform at the Kelowna Community Theatre in front of an often sold-out audience.

But being involved with a tour-like rock production is only the beginning for these professional musicians in the making.

As part of a Kids helping Kids initiative, and with help from Interior Savings and Wentworth Music, these concerts have also helped raise more than $110,000 to help sick children at the Kelowna General and Vernon Jubilee Hospitals.

“Rock concerts are

magical and music simply brings people together,” said Noel Wentworth, vice-president of education at Wentworth Music.

“There is no feeling quite like being able to lend a hand to our community all while living the dream of what it’s like to be a star.”

“I strongly encourage everyone to make it a night out and attend this concert,” added Kathy Conway, president and CEO of Interior Savings Credit Union, co-sponsor of the upcoming event.

“Not only will the talent of our local youth amaze you, but you will be inspired by what they are doing for kids in need.”

Adding to the excitement, in a passing of the torch gesture, veteran musician Tad Goddard from the band Prism will be joining the students on stage, performing Prism’s hit song Armageddon.

“We are absolutely thrilled to have a member from one the bands we are performing on stage with our students,” said Wentworth. “This show is definitely going to live up to it’s name.”

Tickets available at Wentworth Music, 1061634 Harvey Ave.

ENTERTAINMENT nagan’s FINA Gallery, and at UBC Okanagan’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission tree-planting ceremony.

The Summer Solstice event takes place Saturday at the Woodhaven Eco Culture Centre, 969 Raymer Rd. in Kelowna.

Tickets are $15, available at the gate.

The Woodhaven Eco Culture Centre is located in a 3.5-hectare nature conservancy. In an agreement with the Regional District of the Central Okanagan, UBC’s Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies manages a large heritage home on the property that is an ideal place to hold small retreats, art projects, events, and performances.

MUSIC CELEBRATION

Creative Studies students at UBC Okanagan invite the public to celebrate the summer solstice at a folk, blues and roots event in the relaxing and beautiful outdoor setting of Woodhaven Eco Culture Centre.

Imagine yourself, as the evening sun sets, listening to legendary Herald Nix and Kelowna’s own Karen Donaldson Shepherd in two solo acts that will set the stage for a summer’s beauty.

Nix, a singer, songwriter, and guitarist, is one of the most respected artists in the Canadian underground scene.

Born and raised in Salmon Arm, he continues to inspire audiences with his rockabilly, bluesy tunes, with lasting lyrics that are profound and

meaningful. ReverbNation (reverbnation.com) says that he “sings like Hank Williams, writes like Steinbeck, and paints like nobody else.”

Donaldson Shepherd, plays a number of instruments including fiddle, guitar and the gayageum—a traditional Korean stringed instrument.

She has performed as both a soloist and group musician for two decades, and her group, The Crow Girls, received a 2008 Native American Music Award for Best Folk Recording and nomination for the 2007 Canadian Folk Music Awards for best Aboriginal songwriter.

She has performed at international events in South Africa, Korea and Europe, and has played locally in UBC Oka-

The Beat Poet Project is funded by a Special Projects grant under the B.C. Arts Council.

Three former best buddies and the two “it” girls they dreamed about come together for a memory-filled meeting before their 30th high school reunion.

There are some tensions to be resolved and some romantic flames to be fanned over copious amounts of alcohol and a soundtrack of some great 1970s and ‘80s tunes.

The play is directed by Bonnie Gratz with a cast that includes Troy Berg, Kim Fournier, Kendra Hesketh, Brad Hull and Colm O’Reilly.

SHAKESPEARE

With a view to creating a summer home for Shakespeare, Okanagan Villa Estate Winery and Shakespeare Kelowna have announced the 2014 Season of Shakespeare at The Villa.

Featured this summer will be Shakespeare’s romantic comedy, “Much Ado About Nothing,” July 16 to 20 and July 23 to 27 at the winery’s open-air stage.

This will mark the third season of Shakespeare at The Villa, a collaborative initiative driven

by Shakespeare Kelowna’s director Stephen Jefferys and Okanagan Villa winery proprietors Wyn and Marion Lewis.

“Bringing Shakespeare to life at The Villa is a special experience for everyone involved, both the actors and audience alike,” said Jefferys.

“Wyn and Marion are the consummate hosts

and the old world, Mediterranean architecture of The Villa, set against a backdrop of lush gardens and vineyards is the ultimate setting for outdoor theatre. We’re excited to perform ‘Much Ado About Nothing,’ a fun romantic comedy which appeals to audiences of all ages.”

“Okanagan Villa is so much more than an estate winery,” added Wyn Lewis. “The Villa is a beautiful place that we are very fortunate to call home and we delight in sharing this and our very vibrant wines, with those who visit.

“Marion and I love the arts and have since our university days at Cambridge. Art, music and wine are very close to our hearts and this resonates in the entire experience at The Villa and The Vibrant Vine.

“It gives us tremendous pleasure to host

Shakespeare Kelowna.

It’s also quite a bit of fun too!”

Shakespeare at The Villa’s 2014 Season also welcomes four new like-minded partners who value the importance of arts and culture in the community— The Kelowna Chamber of Commerce, Castanet, Kelowna Flightcraft and Q103.

his is the time of year when everyone suddenly wants to know how to get rid of aphids.

My suggestion of squeezing them with your fingers is generally met with looks of repugnance.

Another option is to cut off the affected part of the plant and bury it in your yard waste in the bin. Neither option may be feasible for a large infestation.

Take comfort with a guaranteed rate.

Several years ago, I had an interesting experience with my big, old cherry tree.

Overnight the ends of all the branches were a solid, sticky, black mass.

Close inspection revealed millions of aphids.

A couple of days later, while I was still pondering what to do, a long, torrential downpour washed the tree clean. It was like waving a magic wand.

Last year when the aphids arrived en mass again, I contemplated gathering friends together to do a rain dance.

In the meantime, I decided to monitor the infestation and soon discovered the tree had another infestation.

This time it was bugs that looked like miniature black, spiny alligators with an orange stripe.

A bit of research revealed that they were ladybug larvae who eat up to 400 aphids in about

The Celebrate Canada program supports local activities during the period from June 21 to July 1, including National Aboriginal Day on June 21, Saint Jean Baptiste Day on June 24, Canadian Multiculturalism Day on June 27 and Canada Day on July 1.

The funds provided are to assist with start-up costs of projects and are not intended as 100 per cent funding.

Groups are encouraged to make their activities increasingly self-supporting from year to year.

“Celebrating these special days, including Canada’s 147th birthday, gives us a chance to share our pride in our country,” Cannan said.

“I encourage constituents to come out and show their support for these local organizations which are run largely by volunteers.

“They do a wonderful job planning events that celebrate our shared Canadian heritage and making them memorable for our community.”

Lacewings are another voracious aphid eater.

They like tickseed (Coreopsis), lovage, oregano, sunflowers, sweet alyssum, verbena and yarrow as well as some in the ladybug list.

Both ladybugs and lacewings also feast on asparagus beetle larvae, Colorado potato beetle larvae, spider mites, scale, whiteflies, mealybugs, various insect eggs and many other garden pests.

The Central Okanagan Science Opportunities for Kids Society (SOKS) is selling ladybugs at the Wednesday and Saturday farmers’ market in Kelowna.

If you are buying ladybugs, having plants they like will help to keep them in your garden.

Ocean swim earns Zakala trip to world championships Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Josh Zakala wasn’t sure what to expect from his first open water swims in the ocean.

As it turns out, the 16-year-old from Kelowna is equally proficient in salt water as he is in a lake.

On Monday, in the Cayman Islands, Zakala stroked his way to victory in the Atlantic Ocean at the 5 km distance at the Canadian junior open water trials.

The result secured the Kelowna AquaJets swimmer a trip to the World Junior Open Water Swim Championships August in Israel.

“It’s exciting,” said Zakala, who completed the two-loop, 5 km race in 59 minutes 40 seconds, 2 1/2 minutes ahead of his closest rival. “It’s great to get this experience in the ocean, and now to qualify for worlds is exciting, too.”

Two days earlier, Zakala had a chance to get his feet wet in the ocean as he competed in the 1-mile Flowers Sea Swim.

A three-time nation-

al open water champion in his age division, Zakala placed second out of nearly 900 competitors, a positive warm-up for the trials on Monday.

“It was good that I did the mile earlier, it helped prepare me for the trials swim,” Zakala said after arriving home Wednesday.

“I hadn’t competed in the ocean before, all the salt made my mouth numb, and you have deal with the currents and things like that. It’s very different than lake swimming, but I managed to figure it out. I’m happy with the way it went.”

AquaJets’ coach Peter Wilkins made the trip to Grand Cayman with Zakala and was happy, but not surprised with the outcome.

“I knew he would do well, this was probably the highlight of his career so far,” said Wilkins.

“It was a pretty relaxed atmosphere, he took advantage of that, swam well and got the job done.

“It’s significantly different than lake swimming,” Wilkins added, “a different buoyancy to the

water and how your body reacts. He managed it all very well.”

Zakala also excels in the pool and this spring made his first appearance at senior nationals, setting personal bests in all of his events.

Whether in the pool, lake or ocean, Wilkins says Zakala continues to mature as a swimmer and is just beginning to see the cusp of his potential.

“He’s really just getting started in his development,” Wilkins said. “It’s going to be exciting to see what he does over the next couple of years, not just in open water but in the pool.

It all looks pretty positive right now.”

And what are the factors that make Zakala an elite athlete in the water ?

“He’s got an enormous amount of drive, he sets goals and he’s tough and determined,” Wilkins said. “He’s process-drive, detail-oriented and he’s improving his mental state of mind…he’s getting much better at handling the ups and downs.”

Zakala will look to make more strides in the pool this summer when he

Then Zakala and Wilkins, who will serve a coach with the Canadian team, will focus on the Junior Open Water World Championships, Aug. 28 to 30 in Eilat, Israel.

Three Kelowna United squads qualify for provincials Three Kelowna United teams have booked spots in B.C. Soccer’s Provincial B Cup early next month in Richmond and Chilliwack.

The Kelowna U15 girls, U16 girls and U16 boys all qualified by winning their respective Thompson Okanagan Youth Soccer League titles last weekend in Sal-

mon Arm and Penticton.

Here’s a look at some of the results: • U15 girls—In an exciting TOYSL final, the KU girls edged the Penticton Pinnacles 2-1.

Kelowna keeper Regan Medley had some key saves to end the first half with no score. In the second half, Kelowna’s Kate Johnson had

a beautiful run up the field, crossed the ball in front of the net to Caitlin Kingsmill for the first goal.

Twenty-one minutes into the second half, Kelowna’s midfielder Lauryn Guy put a through ball up to Kate Johnson who got a breakaway and capitalized on her own rebound for United’s second

goal. With 10 minutes left in the game, Penticton was able to sneak one past Kelowna’s keeper Fiona Reha, but the Kelowna girls successfully held on to the final whistle. The game ended 2-1 for KU, sending the local girls to the Provincial B Cup in Chilliwack.

• U16 girls—Kelowna United shutout Salmon

Arm 3-0 in extra time Sunday to win the U16 final in Penticton.

The teams were scoreless through regulation play, before a Holly deHaas goal gave Kelowna the lead in the first 10-minute extra period.

Kaitlyn Kilmartin and Kama Ringer scored in the second overtime to secure the win.

United will be in Chilliwack July 4 to 6 for the Provincial B Cup. “We haven’t seen any of the teams, so it’s hard to know how we’ll do,” said coach Linda George.

“As long as the girls do their best and enjoy themselves, that’s what’s important.”

• U16 boys—Tony Gonzalez’s United boys were

the only team in TOYSL U16 division, so earned a bye to provincials. The Provincial B Cup for boys will be held July 4 to 6 in Richmond.

• U13 boys—United settled for silver at the TOYSL playdowns. In the semifinal against Kam-

Soccer success for United teams From United A21 loops, Kelowna’s Braeden Cangiano was taken down hard in the penalty area which was promptly deposited in the back of the net by Philip Michl. The victory was secured a short while later when defender Harry Bortolon darted through the mid field, dished a pass to an onrushing Cameron Sorenson who found the back of the net.

In the final, United fell 1-0 to Penticton, with the only goal coming late in regulation on a corner kick.

UNITED DEVELOPMENT

While the older teams sought to earn their spots in the provincials, the Kelowna United Development Teams continued league play.

U12 GIRLS

KU Krushers 1, Kamloops Blaze Orange 1— Kamloops opened the scoring with a goal in the first minute of the second half. KU managed to tie it up with a breakaway goal

by Jaxon Slaney.

KU Krushers 1, Penticton Pinnacles 1— KU’s Sienna Hinks finished off the 1st half with a goal assisted by Melaina Corrado. Penticton tied it off a penalty kick in the second half.

KU Fusion 3, Kamloops White 1—Aly Foster scored on a low, hard shot at the 18 minute mark after being set up beautifully by Kassidy Day, then KU at the 23 minute mark Rylee Semeniuk picked the bottom right corner of the net after a perfect pass from Sophie Lachapelle.

After Kamloops found the back of the KU net to make it 3-1, United answered back just two minutes later when Lindsay Goett was sent in on a break-away by Makenna Banser.

KU Hideaki Crushers 2, Vernon 1—Kelowna carried most of the play in the first half but a failed clearance from the back resulted in Vernon capitalizing and scoring first to make it 1-0 at the half. The second half had Kelowna pouring on the pressure which finally paid off with Jessye Large scored from six yards out.

With about 10 mins left, the tricky skills of Ashlyn Eisenkrein got her through a couple of Vernon defenders and she slotted in under the Vernon keeper.

KU Hideaki Crush-

ers 3, Penticton Pinnacles 0—Ashlyn Eisenkrein scored twice, while Kaley Krivoshein crossed with Skye Neale for the other goal.

U11 GIRLS

KU Heat 3, Vernon 0—Early in the second half Shae Taylor put the Heat ahead on a penalty shot. Two minutes later, on a throw-in from Juliet Webster, Abbey McCann gathered in a pass from Amaryn Cunningham and pulled it back across the keeper for the Heat’s second goal. Ten minutes from time, Shae forwarded a ball to Sophia Clarke who tallied the Heat’s third goal.

KU Heat 4, Kamloops Orange 1—Paige Cates, with two goals, Abbey McCann Kaelin Stoodley also scored.

Falcons in Corvallis for weekend set

VS

Fire Burn Fundraiser Night

THURSDAY

• Bouncy Castles • Face Painting • Fireworks

The Kelowna Falcons are in Corvallis this weekend for a three-game West Coast League series with the Knights.

The Falcons were scheduled to wrap up a three-game series Thursday night in Walla Walla against the Sweets, however a final score wasn’t available at press time.

Kelowna earned a split with Walla Walla on Wednesday night to halt a sixgame losing streak.

After losing game 1 6-4, the Falcons rebounded for a 6-2 victory in the nightcap, thanks

to a combined one-hitter. Falcons’ starter Matthew Moriarty lasted just 1.1 innings not allowing a hit, but did give up two runs on five walks. Brett Solano came out of the pen and was brilliant throwing 4.2 shutout innings, allowing the lone Sweets hit, while striking out six and recorded the win. Matt Rigby cleaned up in the seventh, striking out one on route to a save. The offense outhit the Sweets 11-1, led by Jared Smith and a three hit night.

The Falcons return

home next week when they open a three-game series Tuesday night against the Yakima Pippins.

BURN FUND FUNDRAISER

Next Thursday’s game at Elks Stadium between the Falcons and Yakima Pippins will feature the annual Fire Burn Fundraiser.

All proceeds of the front gate will be donated to the Professional Fire Fighters Burn Fund.

Heat men add size up front UBC Okanagan Heat head coach Pete Guarasci further bolstered his front-court offense with the commitment of B.C. Christian Academy’s Dean Johnston for the 2014-15 Canada West men’s basketball season.

The 6-foot-8, 205-pound stretch four will look to use his length and athleticism to shore up the Heat’s down low with rebounding and defensive helping cement the team’s increasingly renowned defensive culture under Guarasci’s watch.

The Heat have often struggled in getting consistent production on the offensive end despite being a top-tier defensive team. Johnston is another brick in Guarasci’s building project to get more offense into the system, particularly more low-post options.

“Dean’s a versatile forward that can score in the post and facing up to the basket,” explains Guarasci, adding that Dean will bring “good

size and athleticism to our program.”

Two ways Dean will help the Heat score easy baskets next year will be on the block or in transition, coach Guarasci likes Dean’s ability to “run the floor well,” and is excited with Johnston’s ability to “finish above the rim.”

The Port Coquitlam native has been a prolific scorer at the Single A level and as a member of Team BC. He posted a posted a personal-high 46 points to go alongside 18 rebounds and 10 assists in a triple-double effort in tournament play last winter.

His Panther’s team would just fall short of a chance at gold for the provincial championships but would come away with the bronze this past season.

A multi-sport athlete growing up, Johnston chose to stick with basketball full-time come his grade 10 year and has not looked back. Putting in extra effort in the gym

has helped him work on his strength and body control, two areas of improvement he hopes will translate into success at the CIS level.

‘‘

WITH THE RIGHT WORK ETHIC HE WILL DEVELOP INTO AN EXCEPTIONAL CIS BASKETBALL PLAYER Pete Guarasci

“With the right work ethic he will develop into an exceptional CIS basketball player,” envisions coach Guarasci embarking on his third season as bench boss with the Heat.

And it appears that Johnston may have the work ethic to develop into such a player already learning nuances of the game that generally don’t

come until later in a player’s development.

“I recently discovered how to use my body a bit better which gives me an advantage in certain areas,” Johnston said of his ongoing efforts to improve his game. “I also adjust fairly quickly [to the situation at hand] which also helps.”

He cited his exposure to club league ball with AthElite basketball as a major contributing factor in his choice to pursue playing post-secondary ball, saying that it “opened his eyes” to the possibility of taking the sport to that next level.

Johnston will be enrolling into a Bachelor of Arts program in Anthropology come the fall.

He is excited to traverse the new challenges on court for a CIS-caliber squad and in the classroom of a globally ranked institution.

“I feel like I am ready, but I have plenty to learn,” the humble Johnston admitted.

The Ogopogos won the overall title with a grand total of 928 points, beating out the closest competition by more than 250 points.

Though the Ogopogos reigned victorious as a team, there were numerous individual standouts: Sydney Reynolds, Erik Haaheim and Myles Woodward, all younger swimmers, swam 100 percent best times in Merritt.

Kylie Haight earned a bronze aggregate overall in Division 2 and Flyn Huber took the silver aggregate on the boy’s side.

The Division 4 girls ruled the podium with teammates Makenna Haight and Rachel Schueler tying for gold aggregates overall.

Logan Lalonde broke 30 seconds in the 50m freestyle event, which aided in securing him a silver aggregate in Division 5.

Emalie Schueler swam to silver aggregate and Randi Thompson secured the bronze for Division 6.

Andrew Skilbeck won the bronze aggregate in Div. 6 in just his first year on the team. Patrick Epman also secured a bronze aggregate for Div. 7 boys.

Off a two weekend hot streak and being only a month into the swim season, it will be very interesting to see all the improvements and what the Kelowna Ogopogos are really capable of doing in all the upcoming weeks.

NEWS ▼ FRIEND WILL BE MISSED

‘Hammer’ was a person who marched to his own beat T echnically his tagline reads John Craig Anthony Bealle, but over the last few years his closest buddies called him ‘Hammer.’

When friends and family gather to pay him honour and bid a final farewell later this month, it will not likely be a huge crowd.

A scattering of family from out of town will arrive, meet and hopefully mesh with a myriad of unusual and diverse locals.

Among the gathering will be a number of our community’s somewhat silent and (preferably by some) unseen residents we commonly and incorrectly label as ‘homeless.’

Some of them are/ were among those Craig considered an extended family. For many years, he shared their world in-

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge cluding their alleys, addictions and companionship.

Many of them were also his direct competition in the truest sense— fellows he had to compete with for the empty pop and beer cans to recycle for cash, or jostle in line with at homeless shelters and food lines.

Through it all, Hammer largely kept a sense of humour and a high degree of honour.

I learned a lot from Hammer—and I will miss him.

He died last week of an apparent heart at-

tack while on the phone with a family member. He was 57.

Born in Victoria and educated in Cowichan and Duncan, Hammer was a talented small engine mechanic for many years in the lower mainland.

When a relationship fell apart it was the final internal crumbling of a man already struggling with some issues.

He chose to simply walk away from the speed and competition of the regular world.

He climbed inside a world of addictions and illness, which only added to his desire to withdraw from the spinning world around him.

Ironically, despite significant health issues Hammer managed to survive a number of years of living in alleys or flop house scenarios before

finally finding an odd but open-minded place to call home.

It was slightly more than three years ago when I first met the diminutive, stubborn, opinionated, and extremely witty man.

I looked past the scruffy, gruffy demeanour and saw a fascinating person who truly displayed the attributes of a survivor.

Our point of introduction was at a building occupied by a number of businesses on Dolphin Avenue, which included JK Fine Woodworking and Super Dave’s Craftsman.

For years, Super Dave’s had been a social gathering place on Thursday’s for various tradesmen and other characters who would meet for a game of pool on a table in the back of the antique restoration woodworking shop.

Behind the businesses is a large alley and industrial work space— nicknamed the ‘Back Alley of Sesame Street,’ a reflection of the characters one often found gathered there.

It was in that wind blocked location that Dave Stratten and Jim Krahn, the proprietors of the two businesses, first met Hammer. He was curled up asleep hiding from the rain.

Stratten and Krahn ‘tolerated’ their uninvited guest for several months and came to realize that

Small Patients Great Needs

he seemed harmless as he simply needed a place to sleep at night.

For a variety of reasons, the two decided a night watchman at their business building was a good idea, so Hammer was moved in doors to sleep and given the duty of watching the area.

Over the subsequent years, he stopped a couple of suspicious incidents in the area simply by being there. His bed became a board and foam atop one of the worktables.

The Hammer nickname came three years ago this November after I assigned it to him.

I was busy in the throes of a long and energy draining campaign running for a re-election seat on city council and had come to the conclusion that I needed help putting up my campaign signs.

Since many of the signs were being erected on the sides of major roadways, I needed to have help with someone jumping out of the passenger seat and hammering in a sign while I manned the wheel.

I asked around and wisely none of my friends either had the time or the inclination to assist me with that task in the dead cold and wet of winter.

After listening to me complain about the lack of help for that task, Hammer said he would help.

“I have no use for pol-

100% BC

itics or politicians but you seem like an okay kinda guy so I will help ya,” he said.

So one day of help became two and two ultimately turned into about nine days. Later, he helped me carry signs on advance poll days.

Hammer had an odd sort of swing when it came to hammering in my signs, hence the source for the nickname—and it stuck.

During those many days driving around in the snow and rain, we told each other our life stories.

Each day, the trust grew and so did the revelations of our past.

We became very close friends. Hammer was my buddy.

I learned a lot from a man that many might think had nothing to teach.

He had a kind, gentle heart that he often tried to cover up. He called BS when he saw it, and often annoyed people with his frankness—but not those that got to truly know him.

When I learned that Hammer actually did not financially have to live on the street but did so by choice, I naturally asked why.

“This is my home.

The street is where I feel accepted and not measured by my wealth or lack of,” he said.

“I know what people are thinking when they

look at me like I am a waste of skin.

“It hurts but I pretend I don’t care and move along. It is the best way to keep going.

“I decided a long time ago I could not play everyone else’s game and if that upsets others then I suppose that is their decision.”

When I asked how he felt about being homeless, he looked at me for a second, then grinned and said: “I am not homeless.

I live in Kelowna. Kelowna is my home…I just do not have a house.”

It was simply another lesson from Hammer.

By the end of the campaign, there were four or five people who had seriously helped with my re-election efforts, but none had the energy, dedication and consistency of Hammer.

When I eventually lost the election, he was more devastated then I was.

Hammer never overcame all of his addictions and probably never finished all things he had dreamed of doing, but he did leave behind his own legacy and a special group of friends.

I will never forget how, when so many others around me failed to answer my call for help, Hammer was there.

It was a relative stranger with nothing to gain and only himself to offer who answered the call.

I will never forget the

Innate intelligence maintains our health and wellness

W

hen I compare my intelligence to that of my body, I am a moron.

In my clinic, I often talk about the body’s ‘innate intelligence.’

I am fascinated by it. Innate intelligence is essentially the foundation of chiropractic care.

This is our inborn or instinctive ability to regulate our body in an attempt to maintain health and wellness.

It is widely accepted that a full definition of health is not just the absence of disease.

Rather, it is the body’s ability to express optimal health.

We all have innate intelligence and we are all born with it.

Some examples of innate intelligence in our body include the ability to regulate our blood pressure, our temperature and our metabolism.

If you cut your finger, the

Pharmasave Bandages Plastic or Fabric 100’s or Sheer 150’s

body’s innate intelligence will sense that there is a disruption in our skin and seal that cut…thereby stopping any Markus further loss of Thiel blood.

If we are dehydrated, our body will send a signal to our brain saying “I’m thirsty” and you will (ideally) drink fluids.

If we are cold, our body will start to shiver, thereby increasing our temperature.

When we are cold, the body will shunt blood to our vital organs, preserving our heat for those ‘priority’ organs of higher necessity.

All of this is happening without our conscious control.

It is done innately by our body.

The body is constantly regulating and monitoring our present state and making finite changes as needed. This sounds like some potent medicine to me.

The mom will make as much as the baby wants. If the baby is a big eater, mom will make more.

This is an example of how two separate people will work with innate intelligence for the one. Once the baby is born, it has many automatic reflexes.

Most have them have their basis in survival. One such reflex is the rooting reflex.

If you brush a baby’s cheek it will turn to that side, looking for the all you can eat smorg.

The wee one is also born with a sucking reflex which facilitates nursing. It is truly remarkable.

These are all examples of our innate intelligence beginning even before conception.

Our body is ripe with it. It is what keeps us alive and well.

Take care of your body. It is taking care of you.

One of my favourite classes in college was that of embryology.

This is the study of how the embryo develops and grows to be a fetus and ultimately a human being. And before you know it, you are telling that life form to eat their peas.

The complexity and intricacies to get to that point are staggering. Breast milk is a perfect case in point of the body’s innate intelligence.

Did you know that the mother’s breast milk will have more water in it if the baby is born in the summer time to keep the newborn from dehydrating?

Also, that same milk will have more fat in it if the child is born in the winter to meet the baby’s increased metabolic rate to keep it warmer?

All the while, the milk is rich in immune system boosters to keep the child healthy.

The supply of breast milk is a function of supply and de-

To vomit when one has food poisoning, is an example of health, not sickness.

The body is aware that there is something there that should not be, and has to be gotten rid of.

A fever is an expression of health. The body is attempting to rid itself of unwelcome bacteria that is trying to make you sick. Nowhere in my life have I seen such a supreme example of innate intelligence as in that of pregnancy.

Think about it. Two cells meet, and from those two cells emerges an entire living being complete with a highly advanced series of specialized organs.

Two cells combine and form a brain, lungs, muscles, teeth, hair, skin, kidneys etc. It is truly miraculous and awe inspiring in its comprehension. We are all the product of such mastery.

ORLANDO, Fla.— The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, which opened May 28 at Magic Kingdom, is quintessential Disney: Based on the 1937 movie “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” the ride has the requisite storyline. The faces of the movie dwarfs are replicated in audio-animatronic characters. It has the movie’s cheery music. A family roller coaster, it is only moderately scary and is open to kids as small as three-foot-two.

The train is the centerpiece—and the final piece —of the Fantasyland expansion that began in 2010. It joins Princess Fairytale Hall, which opened last fall, as well as the Journey of the Little Mermaid ride, Enchanted Tales with Belle and other attractions.

While visitors are checking out the mine train and Fantasyland’s other new elements, Disney’s Imagineers have moved on. They’re in Animal Kingdom, which is about to see the largest expansion in its history.

Imagineers are working on the new Avatar land, the first phase of which is scheduled to open in 2017. Construction walls are up and the first dirt has been moved. Flying banshees are coming! Disney is also starting work on a new nighttime lightand-music show, “Rivers of Light,” at Animal Kingdom. A start date has not been announced.

Over at Universal Orlando, the final touches are being put on Diagon Alley, the new Harry Potter land, which has its preview (but no official opening date yet) later this month. This new Wiz-

arding World will have a thrill ride, Escape from Gringotts, plus the Hogwarts Express, which will connect Diagon Alley to the original Wizarding World in Universal’s Islands of Adventure.

Busch Gardens has good and bad news for its summer season. The scheduled May 1 opening of Falcon’s Fury, a drop tower, has been delayed.

However, its colorful home “land” _ Pantopia, remade from what was once called Timbuktu _ is open, with a new shop and food spots.

There are new features as well at Legoland and two Orlando water parks.

And both Disney and Universal are upgrading their dining and entertainment areas, Downtown Disney and Universal CityWalk.

Here’s a rundown: MAGIC KINGDOM The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train was a late addition to the Fantasyland expansion, which began largely as a meetand-greet site for the Disney princesses, said Pam Rawlins, a Disney Imagineer and show producer. Work on other elements had already begun.

“We needed something to add kinetic energy,” Rawlins said.

Snow White’s Scary Adventures was to be torn down to make room for Princess Fairytale Hall, leaving those characters without a home. So Disney’s newest coaster would tell the tale of Snow White’s temporary roommates.

“It is a story we have never told before, not through the eyes of the Seven Dwarfs,” Rawlins said.

The queue for the ride will briefly keep kids busy with two interactive ele-

Riders sit in seats that look like the rough-hewn mine buckets in the movie and add another element of motion. The buckets, which the dwarfs carved with their axes, hang like cradles from pivots that allow them to swing from side to side as the train rounds curves.

The ride starts with quick turns and dips on the outside of the mountain, then slows as it runs inside the mine, where the dwarfs are working in all their audio-animatronic splendor, singing songs from the movie. The walls are studded with giant

gems. Then the train goes outside again, encountering curves that are little tighter and dips that are a little longer and steeper.

The ride is surprisingly smooth. Scary drops appear, but the train takes them at a speed that will deliciously frighten, not terrify children. In terms of thrills, the ride is about midway between the Barnstormer _ the Great Goofini’s junior coaster _ and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

If you’re familiar with the old movie, you’ll recognize details duplicated on the ride: the dwarfs’ shadows striding along a mountain wall; the carved

wooden sign over The Vault; Dopey with diamonds in his eyes. And in the cabin at the end of the ride, you’ll see Snow White and Dopey dancing in a scene from the movie.

Theme parks must constantly update their attractions to hold the interest of its young guests, who may not be familiar with Snow White or the Seven Dwarfs but adore the new princess-stars of Frozen.

That’s evident at “New Fantasyland.” The stars of Princess Fairytale Hall, which opened last fall, are Anna and Elsa of Frozen.

The sisters moved in at the end of April. In mid-May,

the earliest a fan could get a FastPass to see them was in July. One schoolday morning in May, the wait in the standby line (for those who don’t have FastPasses) was five hours. For Cinderella and Rapunzel, greeting guests in the hall’s other parlor: 40 minutes.

“Who is the target for princesses? It’s little girls,” said Robert Niles, editor of ThemeParkInsider.com. “For them, Snow White might as well be someone from the Middle Ages. That’s not their princess, not their character. But the characters from Frozen are.”

Princess Fairytale

Hall, built next to Cinderella Castle, has a grand tiara over the entrance, stained-glass windows with scenes from the film Cinderella, and decor in royal purple and gold.

Inside are two woodpaneled parlors where princesses meet their fans —Cinderella and Rapunzel in one, Anna and Elsa in the other, along with a third princess—Aurora, Snow White, Tiana, Jasmine or Mulan _ who changes daily. Guests must choose which parlor to get in line for.

Disneyworld’s Fantasyland expansion Parks from A29 pansion underscored just how important character meet-and-greets have become for young fans, adding multiple sites dedicated to meeting characters.

In addition to Princess Fairytale Hall, those include Enchanted Tales with Belle in Maurice’s Cottage; Ariel’s Grotto next to her ride, Under the Sea—Journey of the Little Mermaid; and Pete’s Silly Sideshow, with Donald Duck, Goofy, Minnie Mouse and Daisy as circus characters.

In March, Magic Kingdom debuted a daily parade that features floats and characters from Fantasyland and Disney movies—Belle and the Beast dancing; Ari-

el seated in a clamshell above her under-the-sea friends; Peter Pan and a giant pirate ship trailed

by Tick-Tock the crocodile; Rapunzel and the Snuggly Duckling pub from Tangled; Merida of Brave atop a giant bagpipe; Dumbo, Pinocchio, Mickey, Cinderella, and of course, Anna and Elsa.

The star, though (just in time for the movie) is the 53-foot-long, 26-foottall fire-breathing steampunk dragon inspired by Disney’s Maleficent, a new take on the story of Sleeping Beauty.

ANIMAL KINGDOM Festival of the Lion King re-opened at the new Harambe Theatre in the Africa section of the park a week ago after being closed since January.

The show, which started at Animal Kingdom in 1998, moved so the old theater could be torn down to make room for the new Avatar land. The show tells the Lion King story in acrobatics, dance, music and puppetry. It is performed multiple times every day.

Summer brings a new Lion King event to Animal Kingdom as well, the after-hours Harambe Nights, oriented toward adults although open to children. The evening includes a reception, a theat-

rical production and a street party with a buffet. The show is presented Saturday nights through Aug. 9.

The heart of the evening, which celebrates the 20th anniversary of The Lion King, is a 55-minute theatrical production with live orchestra, choir, dancers and celebrity narrators including Viola Davis, David Alan Grier and Alfre Woodard.

Scenes from the movie are integrated into the production.

“Through Disney magic and Harambe magic, the scenes begin to come to life,” said Marsha Jackson-Randolph, the show director. “It’s a wonderful film with such an incredible legacy. (Producing the show) has challenged us in a very positive way to look at how this film still has such power.”

After the show is a street party with Africa-inspired food and drink (including alcoholic beverages), dancers, stilt performers, characters and a DJ. (Tickets, $119-$134 adults, $79-94 ages 9 and under, at https://disneyworld.com/harambenights).

Epcot also has two new adult-oriented events that pair specialty drinks and desserts or appetiz-

ers during and after the IllumiNations light show.

During the show, the IllumiNations Sparkling Dessert Party on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday features a dessert buffet and sparkling wine ($49 adults, $29 children). The After Hours Wind Down, Thursday-Sunday, offers a selection of appetizers or dessert plus a beverage flight at four Epcot restaurants ($35). Reservations for either: www.disneyworld.com/spring.

Downtown Disney, which has floundered for a new theme and updated identity since the Pleasure Island clubs were closed more than five years ago, is finally moving forward with a new design. Construction walls are everywhere.

The plan calls for a major makeover, built around four interconnected neighborhoods along the water inspired

by Florida’s turn-of-thecentury lakeside towns.

Disney says the redo will double the shopping, dining and entertainment opportunities and emphasize its waterfront _ plus add badly needed parking and pedestrain bridges and widen Buena Vista Drive.

The transformation of Downtown Disney into Disney Springs won’t be completed until 2016, but

some improvements will be ready this summer, including Food Truck Park; a cluster of boutiques featuring Disney goods from home furnishings to beauty products; stores offering soccer gear and stuff for dogs; two Starbucks, and a schedule of live entertainment.

Downtown Disney, said Niles, of ThemeParkInsider.com, is in competition with Universal CityWalk, where ample nighttime parking opens up as guests leave the parks; developments along International Drive such as The Orlando Eye and Madame Tussauds scheduled to open next spring; and Disney’s own parks that are open at night.

The key, he said, was for Downtown Disney to build parking structures, as well as refresh the dated look and mix at the complex. Disney is now doing that in a big way, he said, but ultimately the success of Disney Springs will depend on regular updates instead of letting it languish as it has in recent years.

SUMMER OFFICE HOURS:

Universal’s Harry Potter—Diagon Alley

lParks from A30 ;has not announced when Diagon Alley will open sto the public but a red carspet event and media preview was held this week dIn addition, Universal has started selling vacaftion packages for Florida residents that explicitly ,include access to Diagon Alley, for travel begin-ning June 29 (informa-tion: www.UniversalOrlando.com). s There’s a high level of -interest, and that’s no sur-prise. According to Unisversal, where attendance rose more than 30 percent dafter the opening of the dfirst Harry Potter attraction in 2010, more than 450 million copies of the sHarry Potter books have obeen sold worldwide, ,while the eight Harry Pot-ter films have grossed emore than $7.7 billion.

The signature element of Diagon Alley is a thrill ride, Harry Potster and the Escape from Gringotts, the storyline taken from the final book tin the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Goblin-run Grinegotts is protected by an y t

enormous fire-breathing dragon whose installation atop the bank last month —widely reported on fan websites—was one of the high points of construction.

Taken straight from the movie, that is one nasty-looking dragon!

Harry and friends break into the bank in order to steal a Horcrux, an enchanted item that would help them destroy the evil Lord Voldemort.

Theme park visitors, ostensibly at the bank to open their own accounts with the spooky animatronic goblins, get caught up in the action.

Riders come face-toface with Voldemort, “one of the greatest villains of all time,” said Dale Mason, executive producer of Wizarding World.

“It seems to me that it’s not Harry Potter without Voldemort.” Mason said the Universal Creative team wanted an appearance by Voldemort in the first Harry Potter ride, which is set at Hogwarts, “but it just didn’t work out.”

Also playing a key role in the ride is Bellatrix

Lestrange, a sadistic follower of Voldemort who stashed his Horcrux in the Lestrange family vault at Gringotts.

“She’s just another one of those amazing characters, just so evil but so fun to watch, and I think our guests are really going to love her part in all this,” Mason said.

Universal is disclosing little about the technology of the ride, but Mason said it is more advanced than the first Harry Potter ride, using very large format projection and a 360-degree immersive environment.

Gringotts is set in Diagon Alley, a secret wizards-only neighborhood in London. This is where wizards bank, socialize and shop for wizarding equipment and school supplies, and where students catch the train for Hogwarts.

As Universal did with Hogsmeade, it has created an entire streetscape for Diagon Alley, with a London facade facing out and Diagon Alley on the interior.

Diagon has a number of shops and places

to eat, including Ollivanders wand shop, Florean Fortescue’s Ice-Cream Parlour (with Butterbeer ice cream), Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes, Wiseacre’s Wizarding Equipment, the Leaky Cauldron and more.

After guests pass through the brick wall at King’s Cross Station and arrive at Platform 9 }, Hogswarts Express will take them to the original Wizarding World of Harry Potter (Hogsmeade), which is next door at Universal’s Islands of Adventure. A two-park pass will be required to ride.

In scenes playing on “windows” of the train, as if riders were looking out at the passing countryside, characters from the

books and movies will appear, including Hagrid on his flying motorbike, Buckbeak the Hippogriff and the Weasley twins on brooms.

SPRINGFIELD Also at Universal, this home of TV’s Simpson family, which was only partially completed at the start of the last summer season, now has a second ride, Kang & Kodos’ Twirl ‘n’ Hurl. It’s an aerial carousel, similar to Disney’s Dumbo ride but with spaceships rather than elephants.

Thereare several other parks, including Busch Gardens, Seaworld and Lego land that also feature new attractions this summer. .

As Infiniti’s Director of Performance, Vettel is truly playing a role in the development of future road products.

“Thank you, I think I’ve got the apexes about right,” he grinned. Hours earlier, it’s doubtful he had even heard of the tricky track, nevermind driven it.

Harkening back to his references to happy endings, I reminded him that after driving with me last year he had enjoyed nothing but success.

“That’s right . . . it’s all down to you,” he said with what I believed was a thoroughly genuine smile of appreciation.

The end was nigh. Time flies when you are having fun: our hot lap and friendly chat took less than four minutes.

Last Sunday, he enjoyed only his second podium finish of the year taking third place at the Montreal Grand Prix.

You’re welcome, Seb. Same time next year, in the Eau Rouge?

“There haven’t been too many of those lately,” he joked, pressing harder on the metal, perhaps to make a point.

As Infiniti Director of Performance, Vettel is truly playing a role in the development of future road products, rather than merely offering his name as a celebrity endorsement. He talked enthusiastically about the new compact, performance-oriented Q30, which should see the light late next year in Europe and a little later in Canada.

The 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 Q50S we were riding in also benefitted from a little of his input. He’s clearly looking forward to Infiniti giving the go-ahead to the Q50 Eau Rouge concept, which features the Nissan GT-R’s growling 560-horsepower twin-turbo V6.

Another corner loomed and I leaned into the door, as he barely slowed from the rapid pace we had zipped along the straight.

“Your cornering has improved since last year,” I offered cheekily.

Drivers should experience the Tennessee mountain ranges from page 2

MX-5 (Miata) is a car most would associate with sunny, summer top-down driving but this little machine was determined to show what it was made of. The howling wind, torrential rain and debris-covered roads were all taken in stride as we carved our way through the Tennessee mountains on our way to the Brasstown Valley Resort in neighbouring Georgia.

Over the next three days, we experienced the MX-5

on some of the most dramatic and scenic roads this continent has to offer, and there was money on the line, big money.

Last year was the inaugural Mazda Rally, which Alexandra and I won, taking home $10,000 in charity money for Kidsport. As last year’s champions, we had extra pressure this year to repeat, something we later found out would be much tougher than we had imagined.

If you ever take a drive through the south east of the United States, do yourself a favour and

divert away from the interstate highway system and experience driving nirvana, traversing the Blue Ridge, Unico and Smokey Mountain ranges. The lush National and State parks along with small towns and twisting river valleys is something to experience.

This is a destination for drivers too, especially the ‘Tail of the Dragon,’ a section of highway 129, just inside the North Carolina border that has 318 turns over an 18km stretch. This is a favourite of motorcycle riders but it is open to anyone wanting to experience back-to-back corners ranging from very tight to wide, sweeping turns. Our run up this road was wide open thanks to steady rain, with a few dozen motorcyclists out for a tour and several photographers taking pictures, then selling them to tourist, the same way you can buy a picture of your rollercoaster ride at the PNE! Paved roads are the place the MX-5 shines, wet or dry.

It never felt like the car was out of control, even on the fastest and most aggressive corners. There is so much goodness dialed into this little car that it rewards the driver and passenger hour-after-hour. With a front engine, rear drive setup and perfect weight distribution, the MX-5 has been one of my all-time favourite cars because of its simplicity.

The small, light, thrifty dimensions matched to a raspy 2.0L 4-cylinder and 6-speed manual makes for a fantastic power-to-weight distribution, meaning the 160hp engine might not sound like much on paper but, in practice, it makes the most of every situation.

drive and collect information for each day’s challenges. All of these were kept secret until the beginning of each drive, including the roads we might travel.

A surprise was that some sections were unpaved.

Taking Mazda’s brand new MX-5 through forest back-roads at speed, meant rocks flying, branches felled from the previous night’s storm kicking up, sliding sideways through corners and pounding over rough and rutted gravel.

At the end, the MX-5 showed no signs of wear; it just powered on to the next challenge, which was another surprise, the Atlanta Motorsports Park for an autocross challenge. To say we went from one extreme to the other is an understatement. An hour earlier I was sliding across gravel roads, followed by sliding around a racetrack trying to avoid pylons to dial in my best lap time. As it turns out I did get the second best time of the event but one of those pylons got in the way, knocking down my time by two seconds, all part of the challenge’s rules.

Over the three-day event, Alexandra and I didn’t have one disagreement, I made some navigational errors and so did she. We let it roll, these were long days and we hoped a few small glitches wouldn’t impact our score too much. We also missed one major clue in our guidebook, one that was worth a whopping 50 points. At the end, we had slipped from second place after the first day to fifth place. Sadly, next year we won’t be able to proudly display the number one on the side of our Black Press car. zack.spencer@drivewaybc. ca

Great drive for a great cause As the day was ramping up, the Brian Jessel BMW dealership in Vancouver was overrun with vehicles ranging from a 1957 Ford Thunderbird (it was quite the car back in the day, and still is) to the Lamborghini Aventador. Along with Nissan GT-Rs, Maseratis, Porsches, Ferraris, and more.

Even the brand new BMW i8, which had yet to be driven on Canadian soil, broke ground and was the lead car in the day’s event.

The route would take us along the spectacular Seato-Sky highway, with a stop in Squamish and then the

of imported engineering or customization. It’s about a great cause. It’s for charity.

I’m not going out on a limb when I say that car enthusiasts love to see amazing cars, regardless of context.

What’s more, it’s even cooler when a group of them travel together up one of the most incredible drives in the world: the Sea-toSky Highway. What started off last year with 42 cars quickly grew to three digits.

Each entering car chose a charity to raise funds for.

That’s what I think the event is all about.

So did the drive route.

Craig Stowe, founder of the Diamond Rally and Canada’s own Luxury & Supercar Weekend mentions: “There is a new breed of supercar owners who are rallying together to individually raise awareness and money for the charity of their choice.”

He also comments that Vancouver is supercar crazy, and that there are more luxury and supercars per capita than any other city in North America.

“There is nothing like 111 spectacular cars rallying up the 99 highway to bring awareness to many worthy charities.

1211 SUTHERLAND AVENUE

SMITH, JULIE April 9, 1921 ~ May 30, 2014 Julie was endlessly loving with a positive, cheerful and energetic approach to life.

She was an extremely hard worker; always unassuming, kind, compassionate and generous with her time.

Julie required the aid of braces to walk, but once she started walking after age 2, she never stopped moving!

She often walked over 5 kms. into her late 70’s. The third oldest of six children, Julie (Senick) was raised on a farm near Winnipeg during the Depression. She laboured in the fields, milked cows, loved school, music and going to barn dances. Julie moved to Winnipeg to work, putting herself through Business College. Sadly, she became very ill physically, with 2 years of bed rest as part of her treatment. Julie had great inner strength and spirit and said that she tackled life by being adaptable.

Tom (Thomas Robert) and Julie were married June 7, 1947 and set out on a life of adventures, hard work and success, always supporting each other.

They enjoyed their retirement to Kelowna in 1976, joining the Seniors Centre and Yacht Club and had several overseas vacations. Dad truly loved and cherished “his girl” until his death June 16, 2013. Their daughters, Valerie and Mary-Anne, have innumerable happy memories of their wonderful parents and family times together.

Julie was a tireless volunteer throughout her life. She was made a lifetime member of the Presbyterian Women’s Missionary Society of Canada in honour of her dedicated church work, volunteered at the Manitoba School for the Deaf, campaigned over 30 years for the Canadian Cancer Society, and volunteered for 25 years at Kelowna Cottonwoods Care Facility. Julie always encouraged others to smile and be happy, willingly gave hugs and asked for a cheek to kiss. She was happiest when helping others. Julie crocheted, knit, sewed, bowled, played bridge, gardened, loved trying new recipes and entertaining. She knew the words to hundreds of songs.

Julie and Tom enjoyed getting together with friends and family and having a “good laugh.” She was never idle and constantly learned new activities throughout her life. “Use it or lose it” was her motto.

Her granddaughters Alexis, Tianna and Ryslana had many special times with their Nana, including baking, dancing, playing mini golf, board games and cards.

She would always say to us, “If you need anything, come to your mother (Nana).”

She brought immense joy to our lives and will be greatly missed. This is not goodbye or the end; we’ll see you again, in heaven.

We love you, always!

VRLJIC, KARLO Passed away peacefully at the age of 66, on Monday, June 16, 2014, at Central Okanagan Hospice House.

He is survived by his daughter, Katarina of Kelowna, and sisters, Dragica and Marica, and numerous nieces and nephews of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the final days of his life he was surrounded by loved ones, Bradley, Fatima, Sabaheta, Alex, Asima, Narcis and Almasa. He enjoyed daily walks up Knox Mountain and coffee’s at Second Cup. A memorial gathering for family and friends will be held in his honour on Sunday, June 22, 2014 between 3:00 and 7:00 pm at 1842 Bernard Ave. For those wishing to, memorial contributions to Central Okanagan Hospice Association, 2035 Ethel Street, V1Y 2Z6, will be greatly appreciated.

KEPES - NICHOLAS PAUL 1926 – 2014

It is with great sadness that the family of Nicholas Paul Kepes announces his passing on Monday June 16, 2014 at the age of 87 years. Born in Diósgyör, Hungary, Nick is survived by his daughters Karen, Laurie (Dan), Susan, Elizabeth, Wendy (Stan), two grandchildren, Nicholas and Emily, and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his loving wife of 58 years Hazel, brothers Joseph and Andrew, and sisters Elizabeth and Irene.

He was a hard worker and always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone. At his request, a private family service will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to CNIB. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.mem.com, click on stories and type in Nicholas Kepes.
