When Ryan Huska signed on with the Kelowna Rockets in the fall of 2002, he wasn’t precisely sure where his coaching career would lead. A dozen years and 303 Western Hockey League victories later, the 38-yearold Huska is headed for the pro ranks. Huska is bound for Glen Falls, N.Y., where he’ll serve as head coach of the Adirondack Flames, the American Hockey League affiliate of the Calgary Flames. Huska, who spent the last seven years as the Rockets’ head man, will be replaced behind the Kelowna bench by his assistant for the last five seasons, Dan Lambert. On Monday at Prospera Place, GM Bruce Hamilton choked back tears during an emotional farewell to Huska and his family. Still, Hamilton heartily celebrated the moment—for Huska, for his successor and for the organization. “It’s a real good day, because one of our coaches is moving on and that’s what major junior hockey is all about,” said Hamilton, who referred to Huska as a great coach, but an “even better person.”

“Having Ryan move up is a feather in our hat, and to move Danny right into this role is exactly what we planned on when we hired him. I’m looking forward to watching him mature into what Ryan did.” Under Huska’s guidance, the Rockets won the WHL championship in 2009 and made a trip to the Memorial Cup that spring in Rimouski. In each of the last two seasons, Huska’s club set records for regular season victories, including 57 wins in 2013-14. It seemed only a matter of time before Huska would attract the right offer, and that came last week from the management team of the NHL’s Calgary Flames. “I felt really good about the meetings I had (with the Flames) and told my wife, Denise, when I got home that I hoped things would work out,” Huska said. “What they stand for just feels right… it’s a great opportunity that I’m looking forward to.” As much success as the team enjoyed on the ice during his tenure, Huska said the people are what he’ll remember most fondly from his time with the Rockets. “If you don’t have good people who aren’t

Rutland is getting a new look. The Rutland Unified Stakeholders’ Team (TRUST) is rebranding the Kelowna area, complete with a new logo and slogan. TRUST member Todd Sanderson unveiled the new logo for Kelowna city council Monday, calling it “dynamic and positive.” The logo includes the word Rutland in a fairly simple font, along with a stylized drawing a of green building and blue stripe and a tree with red leaves. The drawing is a nod to the fact the area is the largest residential neighbourhood in the City of Kelowna, has close ties to agriculture and is close to Okanagan Lake. Sanderson noted that as “otherwise responsible” people talk about Rutland negatively, he new logo and rebranding of the area is aimed at changing that. Mayor Walter Gray, who in the past has jokingly suggested Rutland be renamed Hooterville, called the rebranding a great start. In addition to the new logo, a new slogan—Rutland. We’re just getting started—will also be used. There will also be a new website, which is ready to go live online, which will tell the story of Rutland. That story will include the many stakeholders in the area, said Tony Peyton of Csek Creative, which helped come up with the logo, slogan and rebranding initiative. The new logo will be unveiled to the public today at noon at the Rutland Centennial Hall and again July 4 at a Uptown Rutland Business Association Business After Hours event. The following night there will be a non-URBA event to show off the logo at the same venue. Meanwhile, a city plan to spend $100,000 on a civic project to help improve Rutland’s downtown core has settled on moving and improving the community flea market to create a more appealing outdoor community market in Roxby Park at Roxby Road and Highway 33.

timeline for when a decision will be made. What’s clear at this time, however, is that the body assigned with the task of investigating RCMP conduct following the injury or death of a civilian saw cause to look at the case further. Newspaper carrier Steve Kania was injured at about 12:30 a.m. on Dec. 6, 2013. “RCMP officers were conducting a road check when a vehicle failed to stop for the check. A pursuit reportedly ensued and ended when the subject vehicle struck a pedestrian,” reads the IIO report about the incident that took place at Dundas and Dundee Roads. “(Kania) was transported to hospital for treatment. The IIO was notified immediately and deployed investigators to the scene.” As Kania was put into a medically induced coma to deal with a bleeding
brain, injured lung and multiple fractures, the IIO conducted interviews, identified witnesses and reviewed the physical evidence obtained at the scene. Once their investigation was concluded, the chief civilian director was given the results and asked to give his decision. “In examining the evidence, he determined that an officer may have committed an offence and as such, has sent the file to Crown counsel.” The chief civilian director does not make a recommendation on whether charges should be approved or what charges —that’s up to Crown counsel. Meantime, the person believed to have led police on the wild chase that left Kania injured has switched. A week after the IIO came out with its recommendation, charges were laid against Donald Max-
well Brodie. Brodie, 34, had been confessing to the alleged crime for some time, but Nathan Fahl was the one Crown counsel and police had in their sights. Fahl’s lengthy history with erratic behaviour on the roads and subsequent criminal record made it appear as though he was a shoe-in for the crime, but Brodie was persistent with his claims of guilt. “I want the Kania family and the public to understand that Nate Fahl was not the driver,” Brodie wrote before Crown approved charges of criminal negligence causing bodily harm, flight causing bodily harm, impaired driving causing bodily harm and obstructing police. Repeated attempts to contact the Kania family have gone unanswered. He’s believed to be recovering in Kelowna. kmichaels @kelownacapnews.com

District of West Kelowna Coun. Rick de Jong has announced his candidacy for the Conservative nomination in the newly established riding of South Okanagan West Kootenay. De Jong made the announcement earlier this month at a press conference in Penticton. “I have been encouraged by a tremendous amount of friends and business associates throughout the South Okanagan to put my name forward,” said de Jong. “They feel that I’m somebody who can make things happen and hit the ground running for them.
Rick de Jong “They like my experience, my personality and what I can bring to the table.” The new electoral boundary of South Okanagan-West Kootenay includes Penticton, Oliver, Osoyoos, Grand Forks, Greenwood, Rossland, Trail and Castlegar. De Jong, who is em-

New marketing attitude created for Rutland Branding From A1 The Our Rutland project went out to the community for ideas and in the end settled on the community market. It beat out a proposal for an urban fitness park, improvement to both Roxby Park and Aurora Park and a community mural. City staff say they hope to plan the
new market location this year and have it in place by next spring. The city will not charge the market rental fees until 2017 to allow it to get up and running. As a general market it would not be a direct competitor to the proposed new farmers markets in other parts of the city, said staff.

Partnering wine and art at Mission Hill winery Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Mission Hill Family Estate Winery in West Kelowna has kicked off a major four-month art exhibition featuring the work of Icelandic sculptor Steinumm Thorarinsdottir. The exhibition features 44 life-size and smaller human-like figures, most of them brought in from Iceland but some shipped here from a collection in San Diego. It also includes the figures placed around the winery grounds and inside the buildings, including in the underground barrel rooms among the
barrels of aging wine. Winery owner Anthony van Mandl said he feels Thorarinsdottir’s work would fit in perfectly at the winery after meeting her and seeing the figures she creates during a recent trip to Iceland. “What immediately struck me about Steinunn’s sculptures is her art promotes self-reflection and connectivity to nature through their quiet intrusion into our everyday lives,” said von Mandl. On Saturday, the winery held a special kickoff event for the display, which will run through October and will be visible in part to anyone who visits the winery and even

Kelowna drivers most accident-prone in Southern Interior STAFF REPORTER
Kelowna has the dubious distinction of taking nine of the 10 top spots in an ICBC list of the Southern Interior’s most accident-plagued intersections. The most dangerous, according to ICBC’s data,
is where Harvey Avenue meets Spall Road. That treacherous spot has a yearly tally of 95 crashes. Const. Kris Clark of the Kelowna RCMP said that it’s a busy intersection, so it only makes sense that a high volume of crashes have been reported. Without going into
specifics, Const. Clark added that most accidents can be attributed to errant driver behaviour. “Aggressive driving behaviours tend to be the worst,” he said, adding that when people try and beat the yellow or follow the car in front of them too closely, things are bound to go wrong.
and Highway 97 North was the location of 45 impacts. • Highway 97 North and Old Vernon Road and Sexsmith Road meet, causing 44 accidents last year. Kamloops lone mention was where 8th Street meets Fortune Drive and Tranquille Road.

Pastor cycles 400 km for cancer research Powers Creek Community Church’s lead pastor David Barbour spent more than 19 hours on his bike last Saturday as he and 139 others completed the Ride2Survive. Those participating in the annual cycling fundraiser took off from West Kelowna at 3:30 a.m. Saturday and arrived in Delta at 11:15 p.m. “It was a bit long, but no big crashes (or) mechanical failures. And (we had) sunny weather,” said Barbour. Barbour and a friend came up with the Ride2Survive concept 10 years ago. “I lost my dad in 2000 and every year it just seems like somebody else I know is fighting cancer or has lost their fight with cancer,” said Barbour.

The riders pay for everything else.” Although this year’s ride went off without a hitch, safety is always a top priority for organizers, said Barbour. “A lot of these riders are fairly new to riding… so they don’t necessarily have a lot of bike-handling skills. “But we’re very well supported. We have two mechanics that travel with us and BC Ambulance Service.” He added several riders have survived cancer and many others were riding for loved ones who have fought the battle with cancer. “Every story will just about wreck you. There
are people there who have just lost close family, like partners, parents and children. “We had a 17-year-old girl lead us in when we got to Delta. She has two chemo treatments left and she found the energy to get on a bike and lead us in the last five blocks. “There are inspirational stories all the way through.”

Time to be better bear aware
B
ears are just doing what comes naturally when they wander out of the woods and into a residential neighbourhood. The entire region is their native habitat and they don’t worry about town limits signs. So when they are in a yard and come across garbage cans, they are also going to do what comes naturally—chow down. Bears are always hungry, especially in the spring as they come out of hibernation, and in
the fall when they are building up fat levels for hibernation. It doesn’t take long for a bear to realize that garbage is an easy source of food. And it is that addiction that brings bears into potential conflict with the human residents of those neighbourhoods. Ultimately, it is the bear who loses because they are destroyed. But given that bears act purely on instinct, the only solution is for Central Okanagan
residents to change their habits. Keep your garbage can in a secure location, and while you are at it, pull down the bird feeders because the birds don’t need the food in the summer and the seed draws bears. Clean up fruit as it begins to ripen and monitor your compost. It’s been suggested several times that bears creating a possible conflict be trapped and relocated to the woods. However, biologists will tell
you that once the animal is addicted to garbage, they will walk for several kilometres to the nearest neighbourhood so they can indulge. Eating garbage is ultimately a death sentence for bears. With bear complaints rising every year, now is the time for residents to become more aware of their natural surroundings and how to live with their fourlegged neighbours.

A brief history of B.C. teacher demands
A
0%
TUESDAY’S QUESTION:
CNA DIVISION
few things have changed since the last all-out teacher strike in B.C. That was just two years ago, when the B.C. Teachers’ Federation was coming off its second-ever voluntary agreement with a 16 per cent raise over five years and what the union termed an “enhanced” signing bonus of $4,000. Even with special teacher-only top-ups, BCTF members almost rejected the last of the government’s big-spending pre-Olympic labour deals signed in 2006.
▼
By 2012, outraged teachers were back on the legislature lawn, howling for another 16 per cent, with backup vocals provided as usual by HEU, Tom CUPE, BCGEU and Fletcher other public sector unions that settled for less. Teachers had just sailed through a crippling global recession with a series of raises, but were oblivious to all that. Last week the protest venue switched to Vancouver, where both the crowd and the demands looked a bit thinner. The signing bonus tar-
VICTORIA VIEWS
get is up to $5,000, but the raise is a mere 8 per cent over five years (compounded, for those who passed math), plus another huge basket of cash disguised as benefit improvements and so forth. Government negotiators put their total compensation demand at 14.5 per cent. One obvious dodge: They want the bottom two steps of the teacher salary grid dropped. That’s simply a raise for entry-level teachers. Admittedly those are rare creatures these days with shrinking enrolment and ironclad seniority rules that allow retired teachers to monopolize substitute work. Something else that’s changed
since 2012 is that the government has granted the BCTF’s wish to bargain directly with the province. The education ministry executed a takeover of the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association after last year’s election, and installed veteran industrial union negotiator Peter Cameron. He’s backed up by long-time labour specialist Lee Doney, whose task is to keep the teacher deal within Treasury Board limits that have defined all other public sector union settlements. Doney made it clear last week that no mediator is going to come in and “split the baby” as long as the BCTF position is so far beyond the current compensation framework.

▼ IMMENSE OPPORTUNITY
Adult & Childrens
To the editor: Ms. Varga’s letter in last Friday’s edition (Pipeline Decision by Feds Wrong Headed, June 20 Capital News) raised some interesting points with regard to climate kchange and the proposed Enbridge project. Her comments seem to allude to a conspiracy theory involving the federal government and the Enbridge group and she evidently forecasts doom and gloom for the planet on a whole. It should be noted that while the majority of Canadians are forced to watch the chanting, drum beating groups of protesters on the nightly newscasts, they are not allowed the same forum to express their opinions as to the viability and sustainability of resource export. The pointed ques-
tions are avoided and artfully stick-handled by the reporters to sculpt an “Everyone is against this project” appearance. Not one of the protesters has stepped up to the camera and offered a lucid and alternative solution as to the marketing of a worldsought-after resource. The Alberta tar sands have been oozing bitumen since time immortal, much the same as the La Brea tar pits in downtown Los Angeles. Do our rent-a-protestors seriously think the solution is to dump loads of dirt on it and tell it to go away? Trepidation, fear and the “what if” factor are front and center when it comes to shipping oil in double hulled supertankers to waiting Asian markets that has the potential to reduce our tax load and increase Canada’s GDP.
No problem though, that for decades, the costly oil we use now, comes in to our East and West Coast terminals in the same double hulled supertankers, supporting the lives of the rich and famous in Dubai, Kuwait, Iraq, etc. But we cannot ship our oil to them? Who is behind and funding these protests? Methinks thou protests too much. With responsible stewardship, quantum leaps in technology, metallurgy and Earth sciences, the project will be a winner and will greatly enhance our combined living standards and those of our children for decades to come. The only disappointment that I forecast is that of the protesters when the project is up and running without mishap or media event to focus on.
They will need to find a new complaint concept—perhaps meteor showers? As for our “irresponsible attitude towards climate change,” Canada is still rated as one of the most sought-after places to live. Industry does create emissions, the secret is to minimize them and reduce the effect on our environment. The climate change alarmists need to stop looking at the world through a drinking straw perspective. In China, India, Russia millions walk about daily with breathing masks on due to their governments’ lack lustre approach to climate care. Why must Canada continue to be maligned and pilloried for this offshore irresponsibility? On our side of the planet, the environment-
al alarmists would gain more respect if they would chastise Iceland for not doing something about its volcanoes, Hawaii and the Philippines too. It is on record that one week’s emissions from one volcano wipes out one year’s emissions from all the cars in North America. When it comes to climate change, the solution always seems to be another tax. The majority of Canadian are not really silent on the above topics—they have been muzzled. The media must share in this responsibility and the complete Canadian perspective will never be gained until the pollsters start seeking the opinions of those who live outside of downtown Toronto and Vancouver. Brian R. Mellis, West Kelowna
Beavers will deal with trees blocking KYC
To the editor: When I worked in the private sector, if I made a mistake it was between my boss and myself. Those who work in the public sector often have their mistakes displayed for all the world to see. Such is the case for the
waterfront in front of the new Kelowna Yacht Club. The new KYC building is a spectacular addition to Kelowna’s waterfront. Members are all eagerly awaiting the time they can sit on the deck and watch the sunset. Likewise, Cactus Club is
paying a good dollar to lease one half of the lower level. I’m sure they are counting on lake views as a drawing card. Given the above, it really makes you wonder what kind of civil servant decides that KYC must plant a solid wall of
trees that will grow to at least 60 feet in height. So far the beavers have been helping to solve this madness, chopping down six trees in the past week. Isn’t it interesting that there are no trees in front of Jim Stuart plaza, so that the skateboarders will al-
ways have a great view. Now we all know that a civil servant will never admit to screwing up, so we can only hope that the beavers win this round and force the city to abandon this folly. Bruce Stevenson, Kelowna,
Invest now or pay later for education
To the editor: I’ve been working in health care for over 10 years. During the teachers dispute I can’t help but see similarities between how our society thinks about the spending of tax dollars in these two systems. I strongly believe that the money will be spent on one end of the spectrum or the other. Either proactively or reactively. Our western health care system is set up to
fix, or react to problems once they occur. Billions of dollars are spent each year in Canada on hospital procedures and lengthy hospital stays for chronic health conditions that could have been avoided altogether if we had a system that invested in prevention. I think the public needs to understand we are facing the same choice in education. The government can use our tax dol-
lars to invest in quality education today by addressing the three main issues—class size, composition and teacher wages. Or we can continue to let the education system degrade and ultimately move toward a two-tiered education system. If that occurs, I am convinced in the future we will see an increase in spending in areas such as social programming (welfare, addictions programs,

salary at around $72,000 a year. That works out to $42.32 an hour, plus a suite of benefits that most private sector employees can only dream about, starting with three months of prime-time vacation. I am occasionally lectured by teachers that the job goes far beyond five hours in the classroom and an additional four 9hours a day preparing and
marking. They throw out different estimates, variously defined. Alas, it’s a salaried job, and we salaried employees in the real world don’t waste a lot of time counting hours. Here’s the work, here’s the deadline, here’s the pay. Take it or leave it. Consider another union demand that seems to be just another thinly disguised raise. The BCTF wants a large increase in preparation time
for elementary school. There are no duties being added here. For this one item, government negotiators calculate the cost to taxpayers at $86.2 million every year by the fifth year of the BCTF proposal.

correction facilities, etc.). If we want to see this system in action, all we have to do is look at the U.S. It’s not working too well for them. As a parent to two elementary children, I would rather see my tax dollars used in a ‘proactive’ way today, than in a ‘reactive’ way years down the road. I feel the same about health care.

sites, like the Okanagan, and it would appear precipitation levels around the province are lower than average over the first
half of June. “Snowpacks have now diminished to the level that flood risk due to snow melt is now unlikely across the province, (but) flood risk due to extreme rainfall remains a possibility,” the mid-June Snow Survey and Water Supply Bulletin from the B.C. River Forecast Centre states. Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist believes rainfall will be mid-range by the time the month is out and the wet season wraps up. At the moment, some 35 cm of rain has fallen
in Penticton, where the month would usually see 46 cm. Kelowna has had 22 cm, where it would normally see 37 cm, and Vernon has had 35 cm where it would normally have 37 cm. Coastal communities are likely to hit another wet front in the latter half of the week, although the Southern Interior is likely to remain dry, he noted. The weather itself is expected to be warmer in the south and southwest of the province this summer, according to the water supply bulletin. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Frisbee golf highlights Kelowna Blue Drinks water event Engineering graduate students at UBC Okanagan have come up with an idea to make the serious topic of global water issues a fun activity. Nilufar Islam and Tim Hurley, who are part of the Canadian Water Network’s Student and Young Professional Committee, are organizing Blue Drinks, a two-tiered event that combines Frisbee golf with networking. The event kicks off with a fun Frisbee golf game (bring your own Frisbee) at the Knox Mountain Disc Golf Course. After Frisbee golf, participants move to the Streaming Café on Leon Avenue where Nelson Jatel, water stewardship director with the Oka-
nagan Basin Water Board, will present a talk titled Contemporary Issues in Shared Okanagan Water. There will be an opportunity for networking after Jatel’s talk. Registration for one or both events is at: http://www.eventbrite. com/e/blue-drinks-kelowna-contemporaryissues-in-shared-okanagan-water-tickets11863406769?aff=efbnen Both events are free to the public.

West Kelowna road line painting program underway The District of West Kelowna’s roads department has begun its annual traffic line painting. All roads that were painted in prior years will be repainted as well as selected pavement markings such as crosswalks, arrows and stop bars. Motorists may experience minor delays as crews are working; drivers are cautioned not to drive on freshly-painted lines. Full traffic control will be in place as motorists are reminded to use due care when experiencing temporary single lane alternating traffic. It’s anticipated that the project will take approximately two weeks to complete, weather permitting. Drivers are asked to obey traffic personnel.

Kelowna woman ready to vie for Miss Teen BC crown
Tanveer Gill is hoping June 30 to bring positive attention to her hometown of Kelowna. Gill is among 50 hope-
fuls from across the province competing for the Miss, Mrs. and Miss Teen BC crowns. Last year, Kelowna
entrant Christina O’Connar won the Miss BC Interior crown at the provincial pageant. But a Kelowna par-
ticipant has never won the Miss BC title in its 12 year history, something Gill is hoping to change. The pageant will be broadcast on the Shaw Cable community channel later this fall. The Miss BC, Teen BC and Mrs. BC Pageant prides itself in its uniqueness.
It’s a development program for young women and has included married women for the past four years. “I see no reason why marriage should end someone’s pageant opportunities,” said pageant creator and producer Darren Storsley. All previous rules that

This year’s roster of contestants even includes a young lady who is a former competitor in the Special Olympics as well as a contestant with autism. “The Miss BC Pageant celebrates all women, and yes, we would welcome transgendered contestants,” says Storsley, who himself was Mr. World Canada 2007. Leading up to the final pageant, all contestants receive professional training in areas such as public speaking, interview skills, media relations, modelling, manners, etiquette, leadership, self-esteem, health, fitness, nutrition, assertiveness and motivational speaking, and even self-defense. “These skills will help all the contestants, whether or not they are chosen as the new Miss, Miss Teen or Mrs. BC,” said Storsley. “The next Miss BC, Miss Teen BC and Mrs. BC will attend various functions across the province and need to possess the skills these workshops offer; however, these are skills that are important in any environment. “This is not a beauty pageant. It will be a well-rounded, intelligent, outgoing and well-spoken young lady who will win the crown, not necessarily the most beautiful girl.” The contestants compete in a private judge’s interview, an on-stage interview, a sportswear presentation, an even-

ing gown presentation, a sponsor costume introduction as well as in charity fundraising. The charity of the Miss BC Pageant is the Cops for Cancer Tour of the Canadian Cancer Society. Since 2007, the Miss BC Pageant has raised over $200,000 for the Cops for Cancer Tour. Storsley explains that the best part of the whole program is the support they can provide for kids who have cancer. “Through this event we can send some of those kids to Camp Goodtimes. It is very emotional when the contestants meet these children they have been fundraising for and the police officers who ride the tour,” he said. “This is all about reaching out to the community and this pageant is an excellent example of this.” Over the last 12 years, many contestants and winners of the Miss, Mrs. and Miss Teen BC title have gone on to make a difference in the Province and beyond. Storsley says he’s proud of the road his pageant has travelled. “In the end, it is about giving back, reaching out, creating leaders and providing a venue for women to take leadership roles across BC.”

BRIEFS HAPPY HOUR
The B.C. government has begun allowing “happy hour” discounts for alcoholic drinks, imposing minimum drink prices that force some outlets to raise their prices. Effective this week, the minimum price for draft beer or cider in B.C. is 25 cents per fluid ounce, which puts a 12-ounce sleeve at $3, a 20-ounce pint at $5 and a 60-ounce jug at $15. Using a oneounce minimum, the lowest permitted price for any alcoholic drink is $3. The release of the regulations last Friday was greeted with protests from some pubs that were offering drink specials below that price. The regulations also give licensed restaurants the ability to serve drinks without a food order, although their licence still requires them to offer a full food menu. The B.C. government’s liquor policy review also levels the field between pubs and restaurants by allowing families with children into pubs at mealtimes. The B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association issued a statement reminding its members that the new rules also allow customers to carry a drink from a lounge to an adjoining restaurant. In a policy directive to industry associations, local governments and police agencies, the government’s Liquor Control and Licensing Branch says the lower price may be applied selectively for “ladies night” specials or “team night” for players in uniform. Minimum prices do not apply to catered events, or special occasion licences.

Vintage shops move into new business zone Robyn Flinn’s vintage clothing establishment is perched on two wheels and ready to roll Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Poised as it is on the edge of a retail trend, Perch Travelling Boutique may be the most aptly named new business in the city. Owner Robyn Flinn got the idea to open a vintage clothing shop in an old school bus from a friend in Portland who pointed out the mobile shopping malls springing up in parking lots all over the United States. Soon Flinn was registered as the second Canadian member of the American Mobile Retail Association and setting up a bus full of crazy cool finds. “I would like to be a little landmark; something that Kelowna is known for,” she said. “Everyone I talk to thinks it is such a good idea and people always want to know when I’ll be taking the bus out.” Unfortunately, finding the perfect bus stop has proven dicey. While Flinn has done plenty of events—Small Shop Thursday, Fabulous Finds, May Days, September Days—the bus doesn’t qualify for a permanent spot at the Kelowna Farmers’ and Crafters’ Market because her wares are not “made, baked or grown.” While she’s been invited out to heART school on Bernard Avenue on several occasions—she’ll be there this Sunday for a concert—venues like the downtown food truck fair at Prospera Place remain closed to her because she isn’t selling edibles. “I am in a unique situation. I resell. I don’t make any of my prod-

uct. So it means I have to get creative about how I go about this,” she said. Perch Travelling Boutique only appears to have two contemporaries—a children’s clothing shop in Victoria and another small shop in Calgary. Flinn is ecstatic about the various market possibilities being proposed
for Kelowna and Lake Country and, like any proactive business person, is trying to ingratiate herself with the developers behind the Kelowna pitches to see if her concept might fit their mould. South of the border, everything from stereo equipment to records, books to hip-hop gear is sold in the niche mobile shops, which tend to draw more customers to the surrounding businesses. The shopkeepers congregate in mobile shopping markets, similar to the food truck nodes now
standard across North America, and Flinn sees no reason the Central Okanagan is not geared to pick up on the trend. “I would like for people who have ideas like this to think: ‘Hey, Kelowna is the place to be because they’re open to my concept and I might be able to actually do it here,’” she said. For now, her big blue bus rolls from invite to invite as she sources out customers and follows the open road See Vintage A15

Mobile shopping malls catching on in U.S. of requests. On the morning of this interview, three ladies were knocking at her doors for a private party in hopes of finding the perfect old-school look for a wedding. “Right now, I’m into 50s party dresses. Lots of big skirts and tulle” she said. Vintage has carved out a niche in the lucrative wedding scene and Flinn has plans to start a rental line for events out of the bus. For now, she’s cranking out the Instagram shots and speeding through rounds of catchy Facebook posts. With a permanent spot in the early adopter’s hall of fame, she would really love a place to set up shop on a regular basis.

Boys’ & Girls’ Club seeking a new CEO Craig Monley, the long-time chief executive officer of the Okanagan Girls’ & Boys’ Club has announced his retirement effective July 4. Monley began with the organization back 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 has presided over the club growing into a valley-wide organization which provides a wide range of programs and services to thousands of children, youth and families each year. The OBGC now has 33 service locations throughout the valley,
stretching from Osoyoos in the south to the communities of Falkland and Enderby in the north. Monley 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. Operat-
ing 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, Monley served as a special education school district administrator and counselor for
School District 59 (Peace River South) as his career in helping kids and families has spanned over four decades. In a statement, the OBGC board of directions said Monley “will be missed and we sincerely thank him for his dedication and service.”

home Benefits of ‘green’ building now evident Central Okanagan launches June 19, 2014!
The new Home section in the Capital News will offer both home buyers and sellers a feature look at local real estate developments in Kelowna, from new homes to town homes to condominiums. Our weekly section will offer insights into what housing developments are offering for features and new energy saving technologies, ideas on how to get the biggest bang for your buck in acquiring and selling housing properties and shine a light on the most recent changes impacting the Central Okanagan real estate industry from Peachland to Lake Country. The real estate market doesn’t end with the housing transaction though. New homebuyers will be looking to landscape their yard, build a fence and furnish their home inside and out. The Home section will provide readers with ideas on creating that backyard that is the envy of the neighbourhood or where to find the best dining room table to accommodate the family when they are home for the holidays. Our readers will be kept up to date on the latest trends from kitchens to bathrooms, as well as the latest colours and styles. The Capital News will be the best place to find that new house you have always been dreaming about and what you will need to make it a Home.
From the ground up: Mission Group looks to build sustainable communities. Michael Herhaus wasn’t thinking about the benefits of buying a home constructed to Built Green standards. But since purchasing his Winsome Hill home in Kelowna, Herhaus has come to appreciate those benefits. “I was not aware that it was Built Green—that wasn’t something I was thinking about,” said Herhaus. Be also wasn’t looking to buy pre-sale, either, having heard past horror stories about that process. But his realtor knew Mission Group, so Herhaus said they were the only builder he would buy from pre-sale. There’s a lot of industry jargon out there that makes it confusing for homeowners to know what they’re getting, but when Herhaus moved into his Winsome Hill townhome, there were differences he readily noticed in his home. “It’s funny. I noticed that I had to alternate my cleaning schedule from top to bottom because I was throwing cleaning supplies in the garbage…there was no dust,” Herhaus recalled—and he’s not alone. George and Arlene live at Winsome Hill, and of their home buying experience, George said: “In our first brand new home, we could smell the formaldehyde in the carpet and you could smell the paint fumes. When we did our first walk through of this home, you couldn’t smell anything. There’s also a lot less dust. It feels a lot cleaner in this new home.” What these folks are experiencing are benefits of Built Green’s holistic approach to building. Every sustainability program is different and has different areas of focus. Built Green Canada recognizes energy as a vital component in residential construction and ownership. It moves beyond this to include electrical efficiency, water efficiency, indoor air quality, resource use and overall environmental impact. An advanced building technologies approach with a view that the home works as a system or a sum of its parts. On paper, these words mean only so much to the consumer, but in practice it’s simple— lower bills, smaller environmental footprint, an increased quality of living. Herhaus notes that his three-storey, 1,460 square-foot home has almost no temperature variation between the floors, which he attributes to great insulation. While the insulation plays a part, this is where Built Green sees the “house as a system” performing for its residents. The reduced dust, the better air quality, the con-

These areas feed into others and more benefits become apparent to the homeowner. Herhaus was also surprised that he had only one bill—electric power. This includes heating, cooling, hot water, and electric power, yet it averages only $72 per month.

“At Mission Group, we take an Inspired Green approach with all of our new home communities. This means that we look for ways to minimize the environment impact in every aspect of our work,” said JoAnne Adamson, director of sales for Mission Group Homes. “We start with the big picture, such as land use and protecting the site’s natural processes. Our attention extends all the way down to details like the choice of non off-gassing interior finishes, like flooring and paint.” Built Green builders commit to changing their practices across the board; they have to walk the enviro-friendly talk, which Mission Group has done in spades. Since they joined Built Green in 2008, they’ve completed 214 homes in three Built Green Gold certified communities—Sage at Auguston, Amberhill and Winsome Hill. Environmental leadership is about more than a few changes in practice. It takes vision and commitment, which, from the build site up, Mission Group continues to build into their legacy. For homeowners like Herhaus or George and Arlene, this vision transformed into their very own healthy homes and allowed them the well-being of knowing they have minimal impact on the environment. It’s one community at a time, but Mission Group wants to make a difference.

Hanets are Glasgow bound
Warren Henderson
STAFF REPORTER
For the last 25 years, their proficiency on a lawn bowling surface has taken Al and Vi Hanet to destinations all across the planet. Next month, the Hanets will make their second trip to Scotland, where the Kelowna couple will compete at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Al Hanet will team up with Calgary’s Heather Hannett to represent Canada in visually impaired lawn bowling pairs at the games, while Vi Hanet will serve as a guide. It’s been 20 years since Al took part in his first Commonwealth Games in Victoria in 1994. “I didn’t win a medal (in Victoria) but it was a great experience,” said Al Hanet, 78. “I sure would like to win one in Scotland. I think we have the team to do it. We’re looking forward to it.” Al Hanet has partial sight and is considered a B3 by Paralympic eyesight classification. As his coach, Vi helps direct or guide Al’s throws towards the lawn bowling target, or small white ball called
a ‘jack’. Al first tried lawn bowling in 1989 and turned out to be an exceedingly quick study. In his first event, six weeks after bowling his first ball, he won gold at a competition in Penticton. In the 25 years since, Hanet has won 57 medals, including 22 at nationals (10 gold) and three in international competition. Not surprisingly, Al Hanet’s considers his many thousands of hours on a lawn bowling pitch to be time well spent. “I could have been sitting around at home doing nothing, just bumming around but when I got into lawn bowling, I thought this is really good, it’s enjoyable and keeps me busy,” said Hanet. “When we started going overseas, then I really had to step up my game and do the best as I could. I’m pretty happy with what I’ve done in the sport and certainly with where we’ve gone.” Between Al’s passion for the game and the couple’s interest in travelling, the Hanets have made the most of what lawn blowing has had to offer. “He loves the compe-

“We have friends in China, Africa, New Zealand, Australia, all over the world. It’s wonderful.” And what has made Al Hanet one of North America’s most successful visually impaired lawn bowlers of the last quarter cen-
tury. “You need to have a killer instinct…I’m not mean, I’m just competitive and like to win. I get disgusted with myself if miss a shot or don’t do well, and I want to make up for it next time. I think
that’s helped me a lot.” Al and Vi Hanet will travel to Calgary July 2 to meet up and train with their partner, Heather Hannett and her guide Susan Acorn. The foursome leaves for Scotland July 12,
with the para-athlete lawn bowling competition slated to start on July 24. The Hanets are due to be back in Kelowna on Aug. 4. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com
Falcons host Yakima; Firefighters’ Fundraiser Thursday
The Kelowna Falcons are back home this week after a roller coaster West Coast League road trip which saw them post a 3-3 record. The Falcons will host the division rival Yakima Valley Pippins for a three-game series beginning Tuesday at Elks Stadium. First pitch is 6:35 p.m. Kelowna closed out a six-game tour south of the border Sunday with a 5-2 win in Corvallis. The Falcons, who averted a three-game sweep at the hands of the Knights, overcame a 2-0 seventh inning deficit to push their season record to 6-9. Nick Minteer,
Trey Kamachi and Kevin Biro all had multi-hit games as the Falcons had 12 hits on the night. The Falcons’ pitching staff, which struggled in the first two games of the series issuing 20 walks and 21 runs, got a boost Sunday from starter Jeremy Newton who threw 4.2 innings, allowing one earned run on five hits and only walked two. Riley Barr threw 4.1 shutout innings in relief, striking out five and recording the win. While Sunday’s victory was a relief, Falcons’ coach Billy Clontz is far from thrilled with his team’s play
through 15 games. “We’re certainly not happy, not pleased with where we’re at now and we need to be better,” said Clontz. “What I told the guys is not to be looking at the stats, looking at the standings, let’s just go out there and play good baseball. We just have to keep sticking with the process and get better from our failures.” Meanwhile, this Thursday night’s game vs Yakima will feature the Kelowna Firefighters’ annual fund raiser. All proceeds at the front gate will be donated to the Professional Fire Fighters Charitable Society Burn Fund.

The event has raised close to $50,000 over the first two years. Each person through the gate will have a chance to win a 2014 Toyota Corolla. “It’s a great event, this is the mostl firemen do in one hit all year,” saidl Falcons’ GM Mark Nonis. “It’s easy2 for us, all we do is put on the game, and people come down and support it.m To raise $30,000 for a great cause, it’sr nice to be a part of that.” 1 Following this week’s series against Yakima, the Falcons will travelp to Bellingham Friday night to open at weekend series with the Bells. a f J

Lines, will feature eight teams competing in a triple knockout draw with a four-team page playoff, from March 19 to 22. The mixed teams, which feature two men and two women, will be battling for the right to travel to nationals in Toronto in November 2015. Jock Tyre, manager of Kelowna Curling Club, says he’s looking forward to welcoming the top mixed curlers in the prov-
ince to Kelowna. “We love the format because we get a lot of competitive curlers playing with their husbands or wives or friends and they have a good chance of making it to a national championship,” said Tyre. “It is that old-style game where the social side is just as important as what happens on the ice.” ••• Curling season has wound down for most of
the province at the moment, but in Kelowna, things are just about to kick off. The Kelowna club is hosting a Four Foot Curling Camp for adults on June 27 and 28, then a Canada Day Bonspiel from June 29 to July 1.

Kelowna Christian grad Cheyenne Heidebrecht is taking her volleyball skills east for the 2014-15 season. The 5-foot-10 outside hitter will add size and strength this season to the Olds College Broncos in Southern Alberta. Heidebrecht was a key member of the KCS Knights’ high school program as the team won back-to-back B.C. A girls’ titles. Her most recent games were playing club volleyball with the UBCO Heat U18 program. Heidebrecht will enter the Land And Water Resources program at Olds College this fall. Bringing youth to the team’s depth of outside hitters was essential for coach Chris Wandler’s squad, which saw six players graduate at the end of last season. Heidebrecht opted for Olds College for several reasons, including the

▼ ENTREPRENEURS
Leadership requires ability to seize opportunities that arise
T
his topic has been an itch I’ve wanted to address in my column for some time now, so I thought I would tackle it this week. Leaders deal in ideas—and also in ideals. Successful entrepreneurs create a compelling
vision of where their venture ought to lead. They continuously communicate how to progress, guide and encourage the development of their venture’s capabilities, to advance their vision in a relentless and resolute pursuit of desired
success. The art of mastering truly encompasses unshakable will, determination and relentless pursuit of desires and goals which are key hallmarks of great entrepreneurial endeavour. All great entrepre-
X CROSSWORD
neurial leaders are marked with an exceptional sense of self-confidence, which is manifest on the surface and stimulates and encourages others. Entrepreneurial success, like any success, is more about the understanding and mastery of key principles and less about predetermined rules. The anxious, cautious and less experienced, as I once was, may tend to follow rules while the seemingly rebellious may unwittingly break rules with a sincere commitment of a call to action for the “greater good.” But the master of an art, which I have a firm belief that entrepreneurship may be labelled such, develops a mastery over the form of the art using time tested and time prov-
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young en principles. The master understands the wisdom of the principles he or she so faithfully and assiduously practices. Mastery of this art then should become the ideal of every entrepreneur who steps into ring. Some of the ablest entrepreneurial leaders I have found known to history have been those who have arisen in times of crisis and danger. Such leaders seem to have boundless courage and conviction, matched
by self-confidence, sound judgment and a sense of discernment. To them, impulse to power seems righteous and noble. It also seems such leaders care little for the trappings and rewards of power. Thus, it is a combination of great faith, stirred by hope and supported by powerful abilities and strength of character, which enables leaders to inspire their followers and moves them to collectively “ seize the day” and capitalize on opportunities as they present themselves. So, we may make many errors as we try to fall forward, as entrepreneur advocate author John Maxwell writes, in our quest for mastery of the art of entrepreneurship. And, we must seek to
learn as much as we can from every situation and encounter we have along the way. Yet, we must not let our feelings nor shortcomings cause us to become discouraged, cynical nor intimidated such that we become too discouraged to try. The adage which drilled into me in elementary school come examination time never left me— if at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. That is wonderful advice for all of us. Nothing worthwhile is ever easily achieved Joel Young is an entrepreneurship consultant, coach and educator and founder of the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society. eagleyoung@shaw.ca

STEWART, ELLEN LOUISE (NEE SWEENEY)
November 16, 1934 – June 20, 2014 Born in Sweetgrass, Montana to Leo and Gwendoline Sweeney. Ellen grew up in Calgary, Alberta. A gifted athlete, she was a star of the Glencoe Figure Skating Club. She attended Montana State University in Missoula, Montana and graduated with a degree in Education and Music. On June 21, 1958 she married Gerald N. Stewart (Gerry) and died in his arms on the eve of their 56th wedding anniversary. Ellen took pride in her Texas roots but nothing made her more proud than her seven children: Michael Stewart of Chilliwack, Tamara Johnson (David) of Bellingham, Patrick Stewart of Kelowna, Brenda Ganley (Mark) of Bellevue, Sandra McKee (Phil) of Bellingham, Todd Stewart of Kauai and Pamela Paulhus (Patrick) of Kelowna. Then of course, there were her grandchildren: Brett, Ami, Kevin, Matthew, Sarah, Liam, Willick, Shyanne, Samuel, Graden and Taylor who brought her immeasurable joy. She was their biggest cheerleader and fiercest supporter. She selflessly nurtured and cared for so many. She felt blessed to have family that were friends and friends that were like family. Ellen was preceded in death by her parents, Leo and Gwendoline Sweeney, her brother John Sweeney, her sister Gwendoline Entorf and her half-brother J.B. Sweeney and half-sister Patsy Weber. She is survived by her sisters Mary Brower of Round Up, Montana, Marguerite Knight of Dallas, Texas and many nieces and nephews. Prayers will be recited on Thursday, June 26, 2014 at 7:00 pm with a Mass on Friday, June 27, 2014 at 11:00 am both at St. Charles Garnier Parish, 3645 Benvoulin Road, Kelowna, BC In lieu of flowers, please take time to do a small random act of kindness in your community in memory of Mom/Ellen.

Pippa is absolutely stunning. She is feeling a bit shy at the moment, as the new surroundings have her confused, but with time, love and patience she will warm up. She needs a “forever family” to shower her with love, and if you have a resident cat that would probably work just fine. Please ask to meet with her and you will fall in love with her...we’re positive.
Tweak is a gorgeous orange/white tabby with a loving nature & a gentle disposition. He loves people and is a big ‘love mooch’ who would be suited to a guardian who loves to interact with their cats, as he just can’t get enough pets and attention. His ideal spot is in your lap, on the bed or draped across the desk waiting for more love. Tweak is the perfect cat for someone seeking a long time and ever present companion. Please ask the staff if you would like to get to know Tweak.

We know nothing of Sky’s background. He is a young secure boy who will require an experienced guardian who will be the ‘pack leader’. He likes to jump when he is happy, so we recommend a home with older children. He will need daily brushing to stop the matting, but this would make for some ideal bonding time. If you are interested in meeting this beautiful boy ask the staff for a one-on-one meet and greet.

He would be very happy to find his very own home with his own family and toys. He will shower you with love & affection for many years. He is okay with other cats and is already house trained.

Help Me! it’s so hot in here...why did you leave me? At certain points in the day, your vehicle can get up to 60+ Celsius, add on a few pounds of fur and your dog is on the fast track to death. Dogs and cats pant to release heat through their paws, which keeps them cool, but in the warmth of your car, this is not possible. So, leave your pet at home and your perky pooch will thank you!
If you see a dog in a car on a hot day that you believe may be in trouble, call your local SPCA, animal shelter, or police immediately.

Rylance is a very relaxed girl. She loves to look out the window and watch the cars and birds go by. She is a bit shy right now, but with time, love and lots of attention she will become your forever companion. She is good with other cats and can hardly wait to meet you. She won’t disappoint!

The Anatomy of a Surgeon
Photo Credit: Shawn Talbot
An olympian, a cellist, a yoga-loving researcher; there is plenty of talent in new surgical hires. (Left to right) Dr. Curtis Myden, Dr. Jeremy Harris, Dr. Derek Plausinis, Dr. Paul Mick and Dr. Shaun Deen have all just arrived at Kelowna General Hospital as Interior Health builds out its program for the new Interior Heart and Surgical Centre.
With the mint green front panel of its brand
new medical school pointing toward thick rows of scaffolding, one can feel the frenetic pace of progress on approach at Kelowna General Hospital. Even the thin veneer of dust cannot take the shine off the sense of hope the massive expansion of this hospital has brought to the community. Yet it’s really the doctors behind the glass walls who offer the best taste of the possibility to come, particularly for the new Interior Heart and Surgical Centre. “We’re trying to build a centre of excellence that’s a resource for people from across the Interior of BC,” says Dr. Paul Mick, an ear, nose and throat specialist who polished his medical training with a master’s degree in public health at Harvard University. Mick is interested in the big picture problems bringing patients to his door and sought out groundbreaking researcher Dr. Frank Lin as a mentor in Boston. “I think the problem of hearing loss in older people is sort of under appreciated,” he explained. “It’s looked at as unfortunate, but inconsequential.” Lin’s hypothesis suggests the cognitive overload a patient whose hearing is failing experiences trying to sort out sounds leaves them less brainpower to take meaning from words. As it was explained in the New York Times, when medical journalists started taking notice, he’s out to prove there is a critical link between hearing loss and the onset of dementia—something to ponder in this era of iPod-loving music fiends and stereos built to blast. For a yoga enthusiast and culture buff like Mick, finding a new surgical program in a lively smaller city where he too can contribute to the larger dialogue in his field was enough reason to pack up his Nissan Sentra and drive almost 4000 kilometres back to his home province. He is also one of a handful of new surgeons who have just been hired at KGH and has high hopes for the job. “I would like us to not just be at the forefront of medicine, but generating new knowledge and new ways of doing things based on evidence and research,” he said.
And from the sounds of things, this surgical centre will be a bastion of creativity. It will house the first, and only, cardiac program in the Interior of British Columbia and offer 15 operating rooms, with space for up to 600 open heart procedures annually. The latest hires each bring the kind of resumé, talent and people skills one would expect from individuals trained for nearly two decades to work in their field. And if they share one goal, it’s to do their best on every case. “I just enjoy helping patients. I love seeing them in the office and the gratitude after you’ve done a good job,” said Dr. Shaun Deen, a thoracic surgeon who grew up in Calgary and was hired after a year of sub-specialty work in Seattle. Deen is the doctor’s doctor in the crowd. A brief dalliance with the idea of engineering in high school is about as far as he’s strayed from the surgical path. From his first year of undergraduate studies, he made a beeline for surgery and says can’t imagine it any other way. “Surgery is a thinking man’s game. It isn’t all about using your hands. You’ve got to assess the problem, figure out what you think the best way to tackle it is and there’s not always just one way,” he said. His year in the States was spent learning robotics and minimally invasive surgery techniques he can use when tackling the lung and esophageal cancers filling a typical day in his office. Like every surgeon, he consults on unique injuries—a knife lodge between organs or a mass growing above a young person’s heart. Funnily enough, the surgeons themselves often participate in the activities one might expect to land a patient on their operating table. In addition to playing cello, orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Derek Plausinis loves to mountain bike and ski, for example. After doing his subspecialty training for shoulders and elbows in New York, he moved to Kamloops where he practiced for nine years, developing a good rapport with the team who would become his partners in Kelowna. Making the move last summer took some consideration nonetheless. “I’ve been practicing for almost 10 years. I’m knowledgable and skilled and marketable.
From that point of view, it’s a good time to make a switch. And my kids are 10 and 12, so if you’re going to make a change in life, you’ve got to do it,” he explained.
not be best for the other,” Harris explained. “So I like the idea of the hybrid operating room. You’re really not constrained by your facility.”
Plausinis took a circuitous route to surgery, earning a masters degree in engineering, focused on viscoelastic fracture mechanics (cracks in rubber-like materials) before entering medical school. “I thought I would do something to do with the musculoskeletal system. I like that because I like biomechanics and you can apply some engineering to the body. But I didn’t know I would like surgery,” he said.
As Dr. Curtis Myden explains it, the constant evolution of a practice, the unending pursuit of better technology, is really the trick to the trade.
He and Dr. Jeremy Harris, a vascular surgeon hired out of London, Ontario, have a lot in common in the respect that they both fell into surgery and neither expected to uproot themselves for the chance to get in on the ground floor of a new surgical program. The Harris kids are 15, 13, 9 and 6 and they all drove across the country with their parents in the family mini-van to make this move. “It was some good chaos for us as a family, but the kids really did well. We are quite blessed,” the doctor said. Harris started his career at the Richard Ivey School of Business at Western University, graduating with a bachelor of business into a career, he admits, felt soulless. Three years in, having failed to find anything fulfilling in his chosen vocation, he returned to school and “fell in love with anatomy.” A chance meeting with a very personable surgeon in medical school convinced him the stereotypical cold surgeon truly was the stuff of fiction and to hear him speak is to know this is a man who loves people.
“I think they generally say in any surgery if you’re doing the same surgery when you started when you retire then something’s gone wrong. You should be adapting. Things do change. There’s research. There’s evidence that goes into getting the best results for your patient. That’s the challenge. You’ve got to keep up to date to do the best for your patients,” he said. Thankfully, Myden has quite the competitive edge. Having brought home three Olympic bronze medals, competing in three successive summer Olympics in the breaststroke and medley events, he’s well trained to take the lead. As another one of the new hires, he will be doing orthopaedic surgery, focusing on sports medicine and kids. “There’s a really young, active adult population in Kelowna. A lot of people injuring themselves. So hopefully I’ll be helping a lot of people stay active,” he said. Outfitting the new surgical centre to meet the surgeons’ needs takes funds and, as such, a $12 million capital fundraising campaign is underway through the KGH Foundation. More information can be found at bealifesaver. net and they are actively seeking donations. by Jennifer Smith *This article is reprinted with the consent of Forever Young
The doctors all have wish lists. Deen is pushing to see the hospital get into robotics. Harris is thrilled by the possibility of an operating room capable of handling multiple needs, with the technology of whole departments all in one room.
