Hall of Fame vision builds momentum Warren Henderson

Hall of Fame inductees

whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

A decade ago, the late Dr. Barry Urness had a vision.

A staunch advocate of the value of sports to a community, Urness set out to establish a means of recognizing the achievements of athletes, coaches and builders in the Central Okanagan.

That vision continues to grow and evolve as the Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame hosted its seventh annual induction ceremony on Thursday morning at the Coast Capri Hotel.

With the four newest entrants this year, the hall has expanded to 28 official inductees. When all members of teams are taken into account, there are now more than 100 individuals with their names etched in the COSHF. Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame managing director Pat Kennedy said the hall has come a long way since the Kelowna Packers’ hockey team was the first and sole inductee in 2008.

“We feel like we’ve established a bit of a history and a tradition in a relatively short time,” said Kennedy.

“None of this would have ever existed without Barry (Urness), all those people in the community who also believed in the concept, and have since carried the torch for Barry.

“We feel like we’re headed in the right direction.”

As much as Barry Urness wanted to see a permanent, standalone home for the COSHF, the memorabilia and artifact displays are currently housed at the Capri Centre Mall in Kelowna.

Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame inductees: 2008—1958 Kelowna Packers hockey team 2009—Jo-Anne Ritchie, Jack Brow, the Athans Family and the Rick Folk curling team 2010—Don Arnold, Mervyn Andrews, Jay Christensen, Henry Tostenson and Teddy Bears women’s basketball team 2011—Dan Bertoia, Aundrea Bertoia, Joan Campbell, Lawrence Nagy and Eric Tasker 2012—1988 Okanagan Sun football team, Alex Recsky, Dr. Barry Urness, Glenn Ennis and Erminia Russo 2013—1988 Julie Sutton curling team, Brock Aynsley, Blair Chapman and Wayne North 2014—2004 Kelowna Rockets hockey team, Mike and Brenda Van Tighem, Glen Mervyn and Gillian Thomson

And while a fulltime location is on the executive committee’s wish-list for the future, Kennedy said the more immediate focus is continuing to expand the scope of the COSHF and its profile in the community.

“Our life certainly doesn’t depend on it but who knows, maybe in the three to five years we’ll be closer to having a permanent home,” he said.

“Right now, without a physical building, the Hall of Fame is truly an event. And people who have attended our breakfasts know that— just how informative and emotional they can be.

“We’re looking at expanding our

programming,” Kennedy added, “perhaps with satellite displays at sporting events, have our inductees going to speaking engagements.

“We are still young, we’re a non-profit and it all takes money, so we’re proceeding cautiously but diligently to keep growing.”

Jay Christensen was inducted into the hall in 2010. The former CFL player and Okanagan Sun player and coach said COSHF is an event that’s beginning to gain some

Barry Urness

traction and one that the local sporting community should be proud of.

“I think it’s a huge deal for athletes, coaches and volunteers, to come back

and get that recognition, a reward for the time and effort they’ve put in. So many people behind the scenes have thankless jobs, and it’s great (the Hall of Fame) exists to recognize them,” said Christensen.

“The first couple of years, you didn’t hear much about it but I think people in the community are beginning to talk about it more and more, I get texts and emails about it now. Awareness is growing and that’s great.”

Whatever direction the COSHF takes in the future, Pat Kennedy said the core goals and philosophies remain the same.

“It’s really about continuing to recognize

the achievements and contributions of those people who have done so much for sports in our community,” Kennedy said.

“It’s not just about gold medals, just as important are the people who have helped build sports in this area.

“Their tireless work at the arenas, the soccer fields, the coaches and volunteers who simply make Kelowna a better place to live.”

The 2014 Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame inductees: • 2004 Kelowna Rockets Ten years after that triumphant Sunday in May, the Kelowna Rockets’ Memorial Cup victory continues to resonate with hockey fans in the Central Okanagan.

The Western Hockey League champs clinched major junior hockey’s ultimate prize on home ice with a 2-1 win over the Gatineau Olympiques in the 2004 championship

game.

On Thursday morning, the 2004 Rockets were official inducted into the Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame in the team category.

The Rockets’ first ever CHL championship team was coached by Marc Habscheid and featured star players such as Josh Gorges, Shea Weber and Blake Comeau.

From the hosting of the event, to the quality of hockey played, to the hoisting of the Memorial Cup, Rockets’ vice-president of business development Gavin Hamilton said it was an unforgettable experience for the entire organization.

“For our team, it was a championship that we will never forget and this induction will help cement that legacy,” said Hamilton. “And for our (Hamilton) family it was 10 days in May that were the best we ever had.”

Mervyn’s wife, Christina, who accepted the induction on his behalf, spoke about her husband’s humble yet competitive nature, and how the true significance of his silver medal win didn’t set in until many years after.

“He came very close and it was a great disappointment back then, but as the years went on it got shinier,” Christina Mervyn said.

“I think when he realized what he had done to win that with that crew, he was pretty proud.”

apologized and explained that his lawyer told him to say nothing.

Not long after, they discussed the fact that Grossmith would be returned to cells, and he asked for the medications that allowed him to deal with his bipolar disorder and, ultimately, sleep.

As the video played in court Thursday, Grossmith fidgeted in the prisoner’s box, seemingly uncomfortable at times.

Three psychiatrists have testified this week that Grossmith, who suffered from bipolar disorder, was legally insane when he bludgeoned his mother Kathleen Gilchrist as she lay in her bed Sept. 13, 2012.

his father Harry Grossmith was also played. In it, he also told his son that he was loved.

The police officer conducting the interview that afternoon told Grossmith that the show of emotion was reassuring, and again tried to convince the young man to speak about what he did to his mother.

Grossmith told him the last thing he remembered was seeing his mother watching TV. The officer kept prodding, indicating that he thought Grossmith knew more about the hammer attack on his mother the day before.

But Grossmith

of interrogation the 24-year-old expressed any emotion, opting to invoke his right to remain silent in the hours that went before.

“I just wanted to let you know I love you very much and I always have and I always will,” said his sister in the recording.

“I know where you are at feels dark and scary.

I can relate to that, I’ve been there. I know it’s hard to admit we’re lost.

It takes courage to admit you need help…but I believe in you.”

As the message played, Grossmith can be seen sobbing deeply on video footage played for the court Thursday.

Okanagan Mission Road network

City Council has received a developer proposal to accelerate the construction of South Perimeter Road from Gordon Drive to Stewart Road West which would provide an additional access to the Okanagan Mission as early as 2015. The South Perimeter Road has been in the Official Community Plan and 20 Year Financial Strategy as part of the Southwest Okanagan Mission Sector Plan since 1995 and is currently scheduled for construction in approximately 10 years.

Residents are invited to drop by an open house to learn more about the road network plans and provide feedback regarding the timing of other future road improvements in the area.

Capital news Centre Wed. nov 26, 2014, 4pm to 6pm An additional 1,000 housing units are anticipated to be built in the Upper Mission within the next 10 years which translates to adding 8,000 to 10,000 vehicle trips per day on the existing road network.

Are You Taking Care of Your Shoulder Pain? Discover a New Option.

Shoulder aches and pains are common, but because our arms seldom get a rest, these aches often become chronic injuries: knots, spasms, frozen shoulder and tendonitis.

Many of us learn to live with it and think, “It’s a part of my lifestyle or job”. Many of us have had chronic tendonitis, making it difficult to lift a carton of milk or wash our hair. And many of us have exhausted a variety of therapies.

DR. RYAN HARRIS

Therapy, the only therapy I found to get rid of my pain and heal my injury.

Shockwave, developed to break up kidney stones, can break down scar tissue and stimulate new blood vessel growth, promoting proper muscle function and restarting the healing process.

It is in those injuries that have lingered for months or years where shockwave shines. If you have chronic shoulder injuries, don’t give up hope. If I had, I would not be in practice today.

Glenmore Chiropractic

Most therapies have an affect only on new injuries that are days to weeks old. Once scar tissue forms and healing stops (chronic), we are at the mercy of the injury.

However, the question of whether alcohol motivated the attack has to be addressed.

On the day of the killing, Grossmith reported to his substance abuse counsellor that he had recently been blacking out after drinking.

On the night of the killing, Grossmith and his parents drank 5.5 litres of wine between them.

If B.C. Supreme Court Justice Alison Beames believes that the psychosis was the primary motivator of the attack, then the intoxication is irrelevant and Grossmith will be sentenced to time in a psychiatric hospital.

Over and over in my practice I hear, “I have been dealing with this injury for months or years and tried everything. Nothing has worked… what do I do?”

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association 2005, shockwave therapy had a 91% success rate for the treatment of calcific Rotator Cuff Tendonitis.

Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

Local road crews are gearing up for the flakes to fly and area residents have already hauled out their winter wardrobes.

All that’s missing is the snow, and that’s expected to arrive any time now.

Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist said the cold system that froze the valley last week has passed and as temperatures now hover around freezing, the snow should fly.

It won’t be as snowy as what’s been happening in New York, mind you.

But, it may get wintery enough on local hillsides to make for a good start to the ski season.

Big White Ski Resort had a warm and dry start to November, but snow has started to settle on its slopes and more is expected to fall over the weekend.

Approximately 20 centimetres has been forecast for the weekend, which would mean opening day, set for Nov. 27, would go off without a hitch.

The Central Okanagan’s other ski hill, Crystal Mountain, will not operate this season regardless of the weather due to issues arising from last year’s crashed ski lift.

As for the season on a whole, Lundquist said it’s likely to be generally warmer throughout.

Voters lack ‘initiative’ to figure out democracy To the editor: Due to the eagerness of so many to blindly relinquish their voting

LETTER OF THE WEEK rights to others, the outcome of the civic election should be characterized as unsurprising and stagnant.

It is disheartening to be a part of a community run upon name recognition and large endorsements. Our system is not fair, and highly misunderstood.

Unfortunately, this system is a reflection of the general public’s inability to take initiative to understand the democratic process.

Politics are about you. The political system was created to give people a voice on how to define their existence, and how to live a good life. Civic elections, grassroots politics and local

levels of communication are the most powerful opportunity for individuals to exercise their rights, and yet people continue to vote for the mere sake of voting.

As democracy gradually disintegrates, people continue to refuse to learn about democracy’s purpose and potential.

I urge you to ask yourself the following questions: Why did you vote for who you did?

Where did you hear about the candidate(s) you supported?

Can you list several of the candidate(s) qualifications?

How will each candidate impact your life and your community?

The majority of the candidates in council are passionate, diligent, caring individuals that should not be discredited. This letter isn’t meant to be condescending to any of the candidates but rather, to challenge the community to reflect on the outcome of the elections.

What to do with B.C.’s school boards?

The saddest manifestation of British Columbia’s modern Victoria News democracy has produced its judgment with the election of school trustees for the next four TOM years.

FLETCHER There are still independent, community-minded trustees, but mostly “boards of education” have become the neglected, exploited stepchild of B.C. politics.

Teacher union locals and CUPE-dominated “labour councils” organize candidate forums and ask most of the questions, often to former teachers holding and seeking school board seats. Unions finance the campaigns of those who pledge to act as a bullhorn for constant demands for more provincial money, and instruct their members to vote for what should be called the Conflict of Interest slate.

This has been going on for so long in B.C. it is seen as normal. Trustees who most loudly plump for their union masters tend to win, thanks to low turnout. The public mostly doesn’t give a damn, since school property tax authority was centralized in Victoria many years ago, largely because of this

special interest pressure.

The classic case is in Coquitlam, where one could almost hear the theme from The Godfather as local CUPE boss Dave Ginter appeared before the board of education in February. He informed the elected trustees that their collective financial acumen wasn’t up to his standards and some of them would have to go this fall.

“Obviously, the chore I have is to find new trustees,” Ginter clarified in an interview with the Tri-City News as the union’s candidate selection machine stirred to life.

Ginter seems to have made them an offer they couldn’t refuse on Saturday, with formerly unionblessed trustees turfed out in favour of a new group.

Then there’s Vancouver Island, where the 1970s survived, at least until Saturday night. Cowichan school board got itself fired by the province in 2012 for refusing to submit a balanced budget. Two of the trustees who think the job is to flout the balanced budget rule and instead demand a “needs budget” ran again.

They were joined on a slate by two others who Newsroom: Sean Connor, Warren Henderson, Kathy Michaels, Kevin Parnell, Jean Russell, Jennifer Smith, Alistair Waters Advertising: Ron Harding, Teresa Huscroft-Brown, Sheri Jackson, Robert Lindsay, Rick Methot, Al Tomiak, Michelle Trudeau, Kimberley Vico, Wayne Woollett Classified: Christine Mould, Emily Vergnano Production: Nancy Blow, Shayla Graf, Kiana Haner-Wilk, Nadine Krahn, Mary

apparently still believe the answer to every problem is to shout for “more government funding.”

They didn’t get in, as voters appear to have been unimpressed by seeing their school board replaced by a provincially-appointed manager for two years.

That brings up a modest proposal. How about an appointed trustee for each of the 60 school districts? School boards have lost authority over taxation, curriculum (another area of constant union social engineering pressure) and now labour relations. Do we really need them any more?

After the 2013 B.C. election, the Christy Clark government wasted no time taking control of union bargaining on behalf of school districts. Trustees were pushed out of the bargaining agency, no longer trusted to represent taxpayers for that duty either.

The puppet role of some school trustees was evident in the recent teacher strike. When the province opted to pay parents for the disruption, there was a chorus of protest from those supposedly elected to represent the interests of parents and taxpayers.

School tax rates are now set by cabinet order, and

Children’s lives, welfare at risk when drivers can’t wait for them to cross

To the editor: Re: Car and pedestrian safety at intersections I am very concerned with the safety of my children and myself when walking them to and from school.

We have to cross a very busy, very wide intersection. At least two-three times a week, we are almost run over by hasty drivers turning in front of us, driving directly behind us or not even stopping when we have the pedestrian signal that tells us it is safe to cross.

Many of these are parents from the school!

As a driver, I know how it can feel, I see the pedestrian and I am slowing down.

However, as a pedestrian, I do not know if you see us and are stopping unless you actually stop, so please do so behind the stop line. It is not until you are fully stopped and I know you see us that I will step in front of your vehicle with my precious children.

Also, for those who think it is safe to dart directly in front of or behind us while we are crossing the street, please consider that I have children. While I try my best to hang on to them, they sometimes wiggle free and

run ahead. They have run back behind us to pick up an interesting rock they saw or we have lost hats, stuffed animals and shoes, and my children and I have almost been run over trying to retrieve them.

We have even almost been hit when someone started sneaking into the intersection while waiting for us to cross— blocking oncoming traffic—and my child tripped and fell and hurt himself pretty badly.

I had to scoop up one child, run ahead to the injured child and run with both to the other side to avoid being hit because this person could not just wait a few more seconds, and in doing so put us all in danger.

Please I beg you for the safety of our children, have some patience and just wait until we are all safely across the street before driving over the crosswalk we are using.

Even if you don’t hit us, someone else might, and we could end up needing your help.

You just never know.

Business over ‘human virtue’ DEMOCRACY FROM A8 hands of the few and an embarrassingly small group of people seem to acknowledge this truth.

Essentially, the results of the civic elections have exposed the preponderant tendency for

individuals to trust businesses and material growth above human virtue. After the results came in Saturday evening, I found myself nostalgic for a time when people mattered.

Jody Monk, Kelowna

Premier’s intervention needed To the editor: Christy Clark’s office intervened on my behalf in obtaining an appointment to see an occupational therapist to assist with adjustments to my wheelchair.

Following a call from Christy Clark’s office on Oct. 9, I received a call from a physiotherapist and occupational therapist on Oct. 10, with an appointment for Oct. 20.

Five and a half weeks from my original call to Interior Health requesting an appointment.

Four weeks to get a response and appointment and only after Christy Clark’s office called Interior Health is totally unacceptable. It should not take Christy Clark, the Premier of British Columbia, to get me an appointment. She has far more important things to do.

The physiotherapist I talked to indicated that if I was a new patient they have to respond within 72 hours. However, if you are an existing client who has been seen by an occupational therapist before, then they get back to you when they can. I received help from an occupational therapist about

four years ago, therefore I was considered an existing patient. This is discrimination and should not be happening.

I was informed by the occupational therapist that there are only two part-time therapists for West Kelowna and both only work three days a week and sometimes get called away from West Kelowna to stand in for others. In addition, they currently have a backlog of 28 patients. This being the reason they never contacted me with an appointment date or even acknowledged my request.

This situation needs to change. More therapists or longer hours are obviously necessary to overcome this backlog.

I have asked MLA Christy Clark to look into this situation in West Kelowna, as something needs to be done to rectify this unacceptable manpower shortage and backlog of patients.

There is no acceptable reason for not even acknowledging a request for an appointment.

Michael G Coates, West Kelowna

Eliminate board? Unlikely FLETCHER FROM A8 the B.C. Liberal government is considering a move to regulate local industrial taxes.

(This would presumably be to keep union-influenced municipalities from trying to

get too many golden eggs from those liquefied natural gas plants.)

Would Education Minister Peter Fassbender and his team continue their remake by amalgamating or eliminating school boards?

Not likely.

With a rare teacher settlement in place, trustees will have less incentive to grandstand. And their meetings may become something more than union beef sessions.

CONCERNED CITIZEN

Appreciate unheralded clean-up crew To the editor: With all of the disasters around our beautiful cities, including the cruel and senseless stabbing crime (Remembering Murder Victim Hilled On Transit Bus, Nov. 5 Kelowna Capital News), one crew goes unnoticed. After all was said and done, crews are sent in to clean up after the police and crime scene investigators.

It’s a very tough job. Not only do they attend crime scenes, they attend to mould, floods, fires, asbestos and even bat infestations removal. Not a pretty job.

But no one notices them. We don’t even think about what they have do deal with.

I do because one of the people who do that is our family member. Their pay is ridiculously low to what they should be receiving for this dangerous and unflattering work.

So, next time you see a crime scene tape or fire/flood, think of the men and women who are in there pulling out soaking wet heavy drywall, flooring, bat droppings or worse.

Put a vote to them for some raises.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL

Public hearings for show only To the editor: Re : Current Council Made a Mockery of Public Input, Nov. 14 letter to the editor, Kelowna Capital News.

Sounds familiar. Public hearings are for show, as council does ignore real public concerns.

The public clings to the hope that hearings have some influence on council decisions. For anyone that has attended public hearings, it’s getting hard to cling to that hope.

More of the same, likely, with Mr. Basran elected, as Mayor Walter Gray recommended Mr. Basran as a man who would continue the work his council had begun.

City consolidating its communication resources Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

When you are in the business of running a city that spends hundreds of

millions of dollars every year of taxpayers’ money, communication with the public is vital.

And in today’s interconnected world,

that communication can’t be one-way.

So while some may balk at the city communications department at Kelowna City Hall filling another position in a staff that now numbers 11, city officials have no problem justifying the number and explain how, and why, it has grown as large as it has in recent years.

“It’s about consolidation,” said city manager Ron Mattiussi.

Saying all the communications positions the city now has existed prior to the 2012 consolidation of the department, Mattiussi said they were more department-specific,

SEE STORY www.kelownacapnews.com

and in some cases were not even considered true communications positions.

Members of the recreation department, for instance, put out brochures about programs at the Parkinson Recreation Centre, members of the environment division write up news releases about city programs, roads staff produce releases about projects and city staff arrange open houses to gather public input.

The city is currently

looking to fill a communications department position that will have the successful candidate working with the mayor, council and city manager.

Mattiussi said it is not a new position, just one that has been vacant for some time.

He said because it is an “exempt” position—not represented by the union that represents Kelowna city workers—it had to be posted.

Overseeing that communication department is Carla Weaden, divisional director of communications and information services.

Weaden said of the 11 staff in her department, two are contract positions.

“I think there was a feeling in the past that all we did was put out pretty brochures,” said Weaden.

“But that’s not the case.”

In addition to the news releases, her department also still puts out those

“pretty brochures,” but it is also responsible for research that is often used for the content of city reports and used by planners.

They organize and host open houses and other civic events aimed at gathering public input.

The city has an extensive website that includes the ability for the public to not only report issues but receive information back from the appropriate department, it deals with the annual citizens’ survey and other surveys the city puts out.

It designated a specific person to liaise with area business and the contractor doing the recent Bernard Avenue project (a contract position) and it handles media requests.

was happening but also hear from residents about what they thought, hired a consultant to look at what other municipalities were doing. Everything from news releases, to research, from event and open house planning to public engagement was handed over to the new department.

One of the people contacted by the consultant at the time, was the man in charge of Fort McMurray’s communications department, Philip Cooper.

Cooper, now the manager of communication for the City of Nanaimo, said it was clear Kelowna was looking to centralize its system, where by the communications department would “own” all of the work the city needed to do.

As a comparison, he said Fort McMurray, with about 100,000 residents, has a communications department of about 20 people.

Where the city used to simply put up a sign on a piece of property that was being considered for a rezoning and development, now there are website entries, videos, newspaper advertising, social media interactions and email information.

In fact, the city’s email service, in which the public can have information sent straight to their in-boxes now has a subscriber base of more than 10,000.

“Traditional media is still a very important way to get your message out,” said Weaden, “but there are plenty of other ways to do it.”

She said the decision by the city to select one newspaper to contract with for its non-statutory advertising (currently the Kelowna Capital News) saved the city more than $200,000 in advertising costs.

She said the decision was made, in part, based on research her staff did about where the public gets, and wants to get, its information about the city.

Elementary and middle schools in Rutland as well as Rutland Senior will be the first schools in the Central Okanagan School District to move to a new grade configuration possibly by the 2015-16 school year.

The school district held a series of public information sessions this week at Springvalley and Rutland Middle Schools as well as at RSS on the grade reconfiguration.

The school district sought feedback from parents on a plan to have RSS home to students in Grades 9 through 12, the middle schools include Grades 6 to 8 and the elementary schools to house kindergarten to Grade 5 students.

“By the time students are in Grade 9 our experience is they are ready to move on to more of a high school environment. You can really plan your middle school program in a far more focused way with Grades 6 to 8.”

Gloster said most of the public feedback to date has been positive with parents liking the grouping of Grade 6, 7 and 8 together at the middle school level.

A drop in enrollment at RSS is allowing the district to move forward with its plan, which is seen as a positive for RSS, a school that provides more specialty programming and courses for its students than any other in the district, according to Gloster.

But the superintendent also said some of those programs are not wellattended due to the drop in enrollment, meaning moving Grade 9s into RSS would provide an influx of students and allow the school to keep the programs.

“RSS is known as a school that offers the broadest array of courses and specialty programs but as the enrollment drops it’s much harder to sustain those programs,” he said.

“This move would get a critical mass of students to support the options that the kids in Rutland are used to having.

“Rutland is the first part of the district that has the opportunity to go this way.

“Right now the key point up for debate is whether its September 2015 or September 2016.”

Central Kelowna, the Mission, West Kelowna and Lake Country would all have to see new schools built before the grade configuration could change.

In Central Kelowna, KSS is at capacity and a new high school is needed before any changes could be made.

West Kelowna would also need a new high school to change the grade configuration while in the Okanagan Mission and Lake Country, no changes can be made until new middle schools are built.

news _____________________________________ UNCLAIMED REMAINS

Cremated remains await pick-up, some as long as 41 years later Jennifer Smith jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

It’s hoped that a small advertisement running in this paper’s classified section will catch the attention of families who might be missing a relative, without realizing it.

Two of the four funeral homes in Kelowna—First Memorial and Valleyview Funeral Home—are combining efforts to find the relatives of remains that have been left behind, or inter them until such time the family is found.

“We don’t do this often,” acknowledged Mark Revie, of Valleyview Funeral Home. “…There has been about 25 per cent success in reuniting loved ones with their remains.”

The two funeral homes have the ashes of 26 people, along with the dates they were cremated. Some remains date back to 1971 and in all cases the funerals and cremation services were bought and paid for by loving families who, in the confusion of a difficult time, left the ashes of their family member

behind.

One couple, a husband and wife who have been claimed, were both left with the home in separate incidents.

Revie says his funeral home sends two registered letters and is finally taking this measure of publishing the information publicly in an effort to ensure the ashes find the final resting place the family wishes.

Those left unclaimed will be laid to rest in Lakeview Memorial Gardens Cemetery in a crypt where families can still access the remains should the need arise.

The names of the deceased are: Phyllis Janet Cuff, July 23, 1994; Joel Joshua Thorpe, May 22, 1992; Baby Girl Sherwood, June 2006; George Christie, Dec. 9, 2007, Alice Appleton, April 14, 2011; Albert Warren, June 14, 2011;

To instill the recycling message, the ElectroRecycle Power Skate will charge a unique admission fee—residents are asked to bring their old or unwanted small appliances and power tools to Rutland Arena for recycling instead of cash.

For every kilogram of product collected ElectroRecycle will make a

$1 donation to KidSport Kelowna, a charity dedicated to helping kids be able to afford to play organized sports. Those who bring in recyclable items skate for free.

“Keeping kids active in sport will promote healthy active lifestyles and recycling will help to keep our communities healthy places to live and play,” said Cheryl Browne, chapter chair of KidSport Kelowna.

Recycling collection bins will be set up at Rutland Arena, 645 Dodd Rd., from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m., and the public skate will be from 1 to 3:15 p.m.

Lees Mr. Versatility on Rockets roster Warren Henderson

MARISSA BAECKER/CONTRIBUTOR

whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Jesse Lees splits his time between defence and forward for the WHL’s Kelowna Rockets.

In Jesse Lees’ world, arriving at the rink each day comes with a certain degree of unpredictability.

But whatever role he is asked to take on the with the WHL’s Kelowna Rockets—defense or forward—the Calgary native is more than happy to accommodate.

“It can be tough switching back and forth, but I think it’s good to have that challenge and be able to see both sides of the game,” said Lees, who has 16 points in 21 games this season. “I think it makes me a better player overall and if it helps the team, then I’m happy do whatever the coaches ask.”

Even before his junior career began, Lees displayed his adaptive nature on the ice, moving from defense to forward while playing with Alberta at the 2011 Canada Winter Games in Halifax.

Now in his fourth season in the WHL, Lees has earned a reputation as one of the league’s most versatile players.

In an injury-plagued 2013-14 season, the 5-foot-11, 182 pounder played mostly on the defense during the regular campaign, then shifted to the front line for the playoffs.

over a dozen major brands, our Ford-Trained Experts will help choose the right tire for you based on your vehicle, driving habits and local conditions. We’ll find the right tire that fits your needs.

As for mentally shifting back and forth between the positions on a given night, Lees has settled into a reasonably effective routine.

“We have focal points we go over before each game and I have those for both positions,” said Lees. “So I just review those, talk about it with the coaches and get ready the best way I can.”

Lees and the Rockets are home this weekend for a doubleheader against the Portland Winterhawks, Friday and Saturday nights at Prospera Place.

Hall of Fame…

Prior to Friday’s game, the 2004 Memorial Cup champion Rockets team will be honoured for its induction into the Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame.

Ex-Rockets Kelly Guard, Simon Ferguson and Chris Ray, will be on hand. The 2004 Kelowna team was officially inducted at a gala held Thursday. @capnewsports.ca

SERIOUS ABOUT TIRES AND A SERIOUS OFFER TO SMILE ABOUT. We’re serious about value, not only in price, but in quality. From

This season, Lees estimates he has probably spent about 70 per cent of his time playing forward.

Depending on what the Rockets’ needs are on a particular night, head coach Dan Lambert said Lees offers the club some nice options.

“He’s like swing guy for us, sometimes he’s even played both positions in the same game, and that’s not easy,” Lambert said of Lees, who scored twice in a 5-3 victory over Victoria Wednesday.

“Defense is one position where we have depth, and we have some young guys who need time to develop back there… those nights, Jesse can play forward. When we have injuries on the back end or players away, then we don’t need to hesitate to move him back to defense.

“He’s accepted the role,” added Lambert, “and has done a great job.”

Asked which position he prefers, Lees didn’t choose one over the other but rather said each has its appeal.

“I like getting in on the forecheck and creating offence,” said Lees. “I also take pride in my D-zone play, so both are fun to play. I enjoy both and will do whatever benefits the team.”

We will not be undersold on tires.±

Regional BoaRd HigHligHts – novemBeR 2014 Regional Parks service Review The Regional Board has endorsed a report regarding the review of the Regional Parks service. The service review was conducted over the past year and looked at how the RDCO Regional Parks programs are delivered including exploration of cost savings and efficiency options, opportunities for partnerships with local governments and short and long term capital requirements. gas tax Community Works Funding increase The Regional Board has authorized an increase from the Central Okanagan East Gas Tax fund to complete a natural gas conversion and retrofit for the Ellison Fire Hall and Ellison Community Hall. Originally, the Board approved $26,760 for the energy efficiency conversions. The additional costs associated with changing the backup generator to natural gas from propane bring the total project price tag to $34,627.

Final Regional Board meeting for term The current Regional Board has held its last meeting for the present term. Retiring Chair Robert Hobson thanked all Board members for their diligence and dedication over the past three years. He also thanked retiring Directors Jim Edgson, Gerry Zimmermann and Walter Gray for their service. The Board also recognized Chair Hobson for his 21 years of leadership. He was first appointed to the Regional Board in 1990. next Regional Board meeting • Monday, December 8th – 7:00 pm – Inaugural Meeting

had a meeting with West Kelowna Warriors’ head coach and general manager Rylan Ferster.

“I was at home in Saskatchewan and Rylan came to see me,” said the 5-foot9, 182-pound forward.

“We had a conversation and it seemed to click right away, I felt really comfortable talking to him. Plus, my grandparents live in West Kelowna, so it seemed like a really good situation.”

Johnson had just started his fifth season in the WHL when the Broncos had to make a decision on which three overage players to retain.

Johnson was the odd man out.

“It kind of sucks when it happens, but one thing I’ve learned in my years in hockey is when one door shuts, a whole bunch of new ones open,” he said. “This was a real cool opportunity and I’m just fortunate it came along.”

Andrew Johnson has eight goals in 13 games since joining the BCHL’s West Kelowna Warriors.

And it didn’t take long for Johnson to fit in with his first BCHL club.

For starters, the Warriors quickly assigned the captain’s logo to his jersey.

On and off the ice, Ferster said Johnson is the kind of player any coach would be thrilled to have

in his lineup.

“I think right from being a leader, to being our best face off man, to killing penalties, playing on the power play… he’s a very valuable guy,” said Ferster. “He’s been around, he plays the game the right way and he just acts like a pro. I

can’t say enough about how Andrew came in and really fit in quick.”

As for the responsibilities and expectations that come along with his new’s team captaincy, Johnson is embracing the opportunity.

“It’s pretty special and it’s not something I’m taking lightly,” said Johnson, who has eight goals and 13 points in his first 14 games with West Kelowna. “I think, as a team, we’re starting to find our identity. We’ve got some learning to do yet, but we’re getting there.

“It’s a really good group of guys who welcomed me with open arms and I’m excited to be here.”

Johnson and the Warriors return to action Friday night when they host the Vernon Vipers.

West Kelowna (12-6-05) is second in the BCHL’s Interior Division, one point up on Merritt.

Owls 4th at field hockey B.C. finals An understaffed Kelowna Owls’ squad settled for fourth at the B.C. high school girls field hockey championship in West Vancouver.

Ranked fourth in the province heading into the week, the Owls were hindered by a lack of depth as only 13 players took to the pitch during the playoffs at the 16team tourney.

Jesse Itterman was lost to an injury after opening day, while Grace Fecht went down with a concussion on the second day of play.

After winning their first four games of the week, the Owls dropped a 1-0 decision to the Handsworth Royals in the semifinals.

“My guys fought really hard,” said Owls’ coach Arnar Bernhardsson. “To have only 13 players in a tournament of this size makes it really tough.

Fatigue and fitness were definitely both factors against us.”

On the third/fourth place game, KSS squad put up a fight but came up short against South Delta losing 2-1.

Karen De Lange scored KSS’s lone goal in the bronze medal match.

“The girls were

physically spent from the Handsworth game,” Bernhardsson added, “and just had nothing left in the tank.

“I’m pleased that the girls left everything they had on the field and you can’t ask any more of that from them. I’m proud of the day they played.”

Three of the Owls’ victories came in pool play—4-0 over Magee, 1-0 over Gleneagle and 4-0 over Frances Kelly.

KSS then defeated West Vancouver 5-0 in the quarterfinals.

The result was the Owls’ best finish at provincials since 2010 when KSS won bronze.

Shawnigan Lake defeated Handsworth in the championship game.

The Kelowna Lions punched their ticket to the B.C. finals with a 51-8 win over Salmon Arm Sunday at the CNC turf.

Nate Beauchemin had a big day for Kelowna with 178 yards and three

“Our offensive and defensive lines dominated the game controlling the line of scrimmage,” said Lions coach Kendall Gross. “While the coaching staff is very pleased with the success the players have had this season and couldn’t be prouder of them, the team still has one more goal—a provincial

Cullen returns to Ok Rockets The Okanagan Rockets will welcome 15-yearold forward Lucas Cullen back to the lineup this weekend as they play a home-and-home set with the Kamloops based Thompson Blazers.

Cullen has five points on three goals and two assists in just four games this season.

Cullen was injured on Oct. 5 when he crashed hard into the end boards behind the Vancouver NW Giants goal.

Cullen has spent the past six weeks working hard on getting back into the Rockets line-up.

“It’s been a process for Lucas, and I know it’s tested his patience,” said Rockets general manager David Michaud. “We have taken a cautious approach to this as we wanted to make sure Lucas wasn’t going to suffer any set backs with the injury, there was no sense in rushing back. It’s a long season and lots of big hockey coming up for our club.”

Cullen, a draft pick of the Calgary Hitmen this past spring, adds an element of offence and grit to the Rockets lineup.

Cullen makes his return to the lineup Saturday morning at the

Interior Savings Centre in Kamloops, before the Rockets (11-4-1) return to

The Kelowna Lions and Kelowna Riders teams played to a tie during the regular season, so it came as no surprise that the SIFC atom division championship between the teams Sunday came down to the final play.

With one second remaining on the clock, Lions defensive end Carter Gabel tackled the Riders’ Max Gainey for a three-yard loss to preserve a 24-22 win for the Lions.

Ethan Irvine led the way offensively for the Lions with three touchdowns.

Browne was referring to the time musicians spend traveling and the set-up and take-down for concerts, and how little time is actually spent performing on stage.

For those 31 folks involved in the recent municipal election, the last six weeks was a hectic time of preparing a campaign including formulating a platform, writing material for brochures and advertisements, setting up websites, Facebook pages, Twitter accounts, making or ordering signs, buttons, and for some (like moi) even balloons.

The time we actually managed to debate any issues was disappointingly minor. However, like unusual jobs such as working for the media, being an artist, teaching or sky-diving, tasting the world of politics is without question a unique and fascinating experience.

REUNITING FORGOTTEN DOLLARS WITH THEIR RIGHTFUL OWNERS. Capital news

Hodge Podge CHARLIE HODGE desires, demands and opinions. By the end of the campaign, you have either developed a thicker skin or comprehended that perhaps the blood sport of politics was not for you.

Of the four municipal elections I have taken part in, this recent one was probably the most personally satisfying, yet likely the dullest as far as debates and candidate forums.

In the ugly category, it ranks number two, slightly behind the last one. While it may not have appeared as nasty to many as the 2008 battle royal, there was a lot of crap and cheap shots taken by some under the public radar.

Regardless, I have a couple of positive memories to pass on— insignificant to some but huge in my mind.

The public meet and

greet held in Rutland was by far the best format for meeting voters and engaging in conversation— though other events such as the one organized by mayoral candidate Mark Thompson were good and welcomed.

In every campaign there are one or two characters you meet who stand out or become friends after serving time in the trenches together.

In the previous election I got to know Ken Chung and we maintained a friendship in the years since. During this campaign, I came to know what a big heart the man has.

While his love for Kelowna is huge and I was sorry to see he did not garner more support at the polls, he was a huge help to me.

Without a truck, getting my six large signs up was a bit of a task, but Ken immediately volunteered his time and truck when he heard about my dilemma.

It truly is the sign of a

gentleman and a class act when one is willing to assist another competitor during such times and I will never forget his willingness to assist.

I also noted how willing he was to put back up other candidate signs that we found knocked over as we went about the town. Thanks Ken. My second memory will remain with a young man named Aaron who I believe I first met at the UBCO meet and greet. Aaron asked me a number of excellent questions face-to-face and then later by email.

I was particularly impressed with the depth and insight of his questions considering I figured it might be his first time voting.

After spending a fair amount of time back and forth on issues, he informed me that he was not old enough to vote but was still keen on knowing how certain candidates felt about issues.

Impressive and encouraging behaviour from a student, indeed.

While I was disappointed in general with the response turnout and interest by students at both the university and Okanagan College events, Aaron proved to me there are young folks still interested in their community’s future.

Once again, my sincere thanks to all of you who voted, regardless of your selections.

••• Here is an early tease on an amazing musical event taking place next year, July 24, 25, 31 and Aug.1, at Kelowna Community Theatre.

Plan now to take in the Raft of the Medusa, a fabulous musical written by the incredibly talented duo of Pat Brown and Randall Robinson.

Raft of the Medusa is based on the famous painting of the ill-fated ship, the Medusa, and portrays on stage the agony and darkness of the hardship endured by those who survived for weeks on a raft in the ocean.

Brown and Robinson are currently in a recording studio finishing the soundtrack of the play, under the guidance of brilliant engineer Jim LeGuilloux. As many folks may know, Brown and Robinson were the mainstay writers of the multiple award winning Kelowna band Ten2Nine.

PAM LOUWAGIE/CONTRIBUTOR

Travel

A boat in a quiet bay where snorkelers visit in Huatulco, Mexico.

Huatulco is a walk on Mexico’s wild side Pam Louwagie contributor

The river rippled calmly in front of us, but we could hear the thunder of the rapids ahead.

“Everybody dowwwn!” our guide bellowed in his thick accent, a command to pull our paddles from the water and crouch onto the floor of our rubber raft.

No way we would stay upright on these rapids, I feared, thankful for the helmet strapped to my head. When I could finally see the swirling current, tumbling and slamming into boulders just ahead, I took a deep breath.

Waves of warm water washed over us. Our boat spun and ricocheted, sending us twirling between the tall pines and lush mountain jungle.

I couldn’t help but blurt out a squeal.

This was my kind of Mexico vacation.

I had always been tempted to try the popular seaside destinations that Minnesotans escape to each winter. Every time Facebook friends posted a palm-tree-laden photo on a subzero day in Minneapolis, I buried my jealousy under a down blanket.

But I remembered how I get bored lying on a beach for more than a few hours, and I recoiled at the thought of crowded, commercialized

waterfronts. I imagined feeling trapped at a noisy all-inclusive resort.

Then along came Huatulco. Never heard of it?

That’s probably because Huatulco (pronounced wah-TOOL-ko) is a somewhat new, lessdeveloped tourist spot along Mexico’s southern Pacific Coast, in the state of Oaxaca. Most of its visitors are Mexicans, but the government’s tourism arm is working to draw international travelers.

Huatulco is made up of nine bays tucked between dramatic cliffs that drop into the sea.

Along its 22 miles of coastline, the foothills of the Sierra Madre loom in the background.

Before the government began promoting it for tourism in the 1980s, the area was populated only with fishing villages. Now it is marketing Huatulco as an eco-friendly destination and has vowed to preserve much of the rugged coastline, arid landscapes and green mountainsides.

Minnesota-based Sun Country Vacations started offering nonstop flights and packages there a couple of winters ago. On a subzero January morning, I was happy to board a plane with its nose pointed south, beach boredom be damned.

ADVENTURE AWAITS

Checking in at the open-air front desk of the Las Brisas resort a 4{-hour flight later, my husband and I quickly learned why Huatulco is a good-weather bet: Every sun-filled day hovered in the 90s during our stay. The coast sees only about 40 days of rain a year. “We call it rainy season because we have to call it something,” one guide joked.

Still, I cringed as a front-desk clerk strapped a bright blue, all-inclusive band onto my wrist. It would be my ticket to endless drinks and food, but it also felt like I was being tagged in a herd of livestock.

That worry receded after we headed out of our sleek room to see what the resort had to offer.

There were four different beaches, including a sports beach where we could use kayaks, stand-up paddle boards and catamarans as much as we wanted. “Hey!” I smiled as I said to my husband, “We can do this every day.”

Two beaches over, we could use resort snorkeling equipment to explore a reef just a few yards from shore. A rocky and secluded “secret beach” was tucked around a corner.

None of the beach views were obscured by high rises or billboards or neon lights. Huatulco was far less crowded and commercialized than I had expected.

And there were plenty of opportunities to get away from the resort. In the lobby, tour operators set up tables hawking day trips: White-water rafting, bicycling, scuba diving, fishing, ATV riding and bird-watching along with tours of coffee plantations, ancient ruins and a butterfly sanctuary.

Adventures were everywhere in Huatulco. In the seven days before our Sun Country flight would hurl us back to snow, we wouldn’t have enough time to do it all.

BEACHES

Huatulco’s nine dramatic ocean bays—its biggest draw—do not disappoint. For a fee, guided tours took tourists to remote bays, accessible only by boat, for snorkeling, diving or just watching the sunset.

Even on the busiest bays, activity on the water was light. Iguanas sunned themselves on seaside rocks as we launched a double kayak into ocean swells in Tangolunda Bay, among the most developed with resorts and some private homes.

Almost immediately, we felt immersed in nature: The shell of a large sea turtle bobbed in the distance. A pelican divebombed a fish in

surprise: Rounding one corner, we met a local man carrying a large machete. He looked serious and spoke in hurried Spanish to our guide, who didn’t flinch.

We were relieved to hear their brief conversation end with “Buenos dias!”

The man wanted to make sure we wouldn’t get lost, Hurchalla explained later. The foreboding weapon?

Not to worry. “It’s just an extension of people

front of us. We circled small rock islands with waves crashing against them.

Nearer to shore, I tried riding the bay on a stand-up paddleboard.

Swamped by a large wave, I splashed into refreshing water. Later, we set sail on a small catamaran, learning to pull the sails as we zigzagged across the surface.

Walking over to the snorkeling beach on the resort’s curving sidewalk, we passed one of the outdoor bars. We took a break for margaritas.

Maybe an all-inclusive resort wasn’t so bad.

MOUNTAINS

As much as the blue waters and beige sand beckoned, I couldn’t help but look at the mountain foothills behind us.

Our guided rafting trip took us a couple of hours up the mountains to the Copalita River. Floating down, we gazed at dense wilderness between bouts of jitters, brought on by Class 4 rapids. The rafting trip only whetted my appetite for more mountain fun.

The brochure in our room touted hiking trips, but when I asked about them, the tour operators looked at me quizzically, as though I were the first to ever inquire about the offering.

“Alejandro on the beach,” one operator suggested, “he’s hyper.

Maybe he’d take you.”

I searched the Web myself instead, and

was like this?’ “ Hurchalla recalled them marveling.

“I did. I tried. You just can’t understand it until you see it.”

Hurchalla turned his car onto a muddy, bumpy dirt road and stopped at a narrow walking path. The air was a crisp contrast to the heat of the coast.

Hurchalla, who stands a thin 6 feet 7 inches tall, stretched out his long arms. “That’s the

coolest breeze I’ve felt in a long time,” he said.

The temperature almost begged for long sleeves.

As we walked, we stopped to soak in the unusual mixture of nature: tall pine trees, shade coffee plants, citrus, bromeliad puffs of palmlike leaves. A slight wind whispered as magpie-jays swooped.

A second short hike yielded a different

During a jog, I headed into the main town of La Crucecita a couple of miles away. I passed markets filled with brightly painted figurines and textiles and dodged workers sweeping sidewalks, painting curbs and trimming shrubs.

I encountered a few name-brand resorts (Secrets, Dreams and Best

Western), but no Hard Rock Cafes or Starbucks.

Some three-quarters of the land in Huatulco is kept natural, including a national park. But there’s still room for development, and tourist magazines there boast of plans for new roads and lodging.

George Hurchalla, a 47-year-old travel guide writer, met us at the Las Brisas lobby before dawn to take us on a mountain hike.

As his dusty Subaru climbed curvy roads, he couldn’t help but brag about the corner of paradise he called home: white-water rivers, amazing coral reefs, world-class surf breaks, great deep-sea fishing, a wide range of flora and fauna.

“I finally got friends to come visit, and they said, ‘Why didn’t you tell us it

Bright blue and red butterflies and tropical birds flittered about.

Driving back west, we gathered with a few locals near a lighthouse on land that jutted south into the Pacific. As the sun set, it bathed seaside cliffs in orange light.

We returned the next morning before sunrise on our last morning in Huatulco.

As the sun peeked from the Pacific’s horizon, a school of dolphins jumped in the surf far below, as if they were waving goodbye.

I wasn’t ready to leave. I had worried about getting bored, but Huatulco had so much to offer that I might just need a second visit someday.

I’ll consider that as I huddle under a blanket in January, looking at friends’ beach photos on Facebook.

IF YOU GO

Getting there: Sun Country flies nonstop to and from Huatulco seasonally on Saturdays only; other airlines that serve Huatulco include United and Delta. Prices for package deals vary depending upon the week you travel and the hotel you choose.

The destination:

Huatulco is not a town, but an area made up of nine Pacific Ocean bays spanning nearly 22 miles of coastline between the Coyula and Copalita rivers. The small towns of La Crucecita and Santa Cruz dot the coast.

They are not heavily commercialized, with just a few stoplights to direct traffic.

Places to stay: Las Brisas is an expansive resort built into the hills with four beaches and 484 rooms spread among several buildings. Small shuttles zoom on narrow roadways to carry guests who prefer rides instead of steep walks to their rooms. It is one of the older resorts in Huatulco, but rooms have been updated to look modern.

Though we could eat as much as we liked, the food was mediocre. The dress code is casual, and there is little competition for beach-side lounge chairs.

Tourist traps: To explore the bays accessible only by boat, we chose a snorkeling tour. It turned out to be a disappointing tourist trap with minimal snorkeling and a couple of hours spent stuck on a beach lined with hutstyle restaurants. Vendors approached constantly trying to sell everything from marble dolphin figurines to desserts. “No, gracias,” became our refrain.

Siblings to watch themselves on Disney TV game jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

For a pair of siblings from the Okanagan Mission, getting to watch TV this Tuesday may be the most exciting moment of their young lives.

Tobin and Mia Woodworth, aged 11 and 13 respectively, auditioned and won a spot on Disney Grizzly Cup, a survivor-style reality show which culminates in a final televised showdown this Tuesday.

The competition saw them slog it out, headto-head with three other teams in the back woods of Ontario, just as the cool winds of autumn started to blow in September.

Armed with a familial edge, the pair said they had an advantage right from day one.

“We definitely knew

each other so well,” explained Mia. “I wasn’t really afraid to get, not mad at him, but say: ‘You’re doing this wrong.’

Where if it was a friend, I would be more: ‘Oh, maybe you should not do that.’”

In order to win a spot on the show, the pair tried out against thousands of other potential teams who auditioned in 10 cities across the country.

Held in City Park this summer, hundreds of kids from Kelowna tried to be among the lucky few to venture off to Muskoka Wood Youth Resort, but the Woodworths’ agility traversing the obstacle course, caught the producers’ eyes.

Airing on Disney XD all month, the halfhour show features competitors doing everything from rock climbing to traversing

was really just cool fall weather, but for a kid from a warm part of B.C. it was a shock.

Both siblings say the experience was an absolute life highlight, but Tobin, in particular, would like to continue in TV, possibly in more of a dramatic role.

“I like being on TV and having everyone watch me,” he said, with a grin.

There are already Disney medals in the Woodworth house as a result of the experience— participation awards— but the entire family is contractually obligated to refrain from divulging whether the four-foot tall Grizzly Cup is also nestled in the basement.

And this too has proven a challenge.

“People are always saying, ‘Oh, you can just tell us, we won’t tell.’ But we really can’t,” said Mia. The Woodworths

in 1995, the company never looked back. (That was also the year Subaru introduced the Outback sport wagon.)

Back then, sales then were roughly 4000 per year and this year Subaru is on track to sell over 40,000 units, an impressive accomplishment.

In order to highlight Subaru’s latest Impreza compact sedan and hatchback, Subaru needed a location that could show off the vehicle on dry roads and in winter conditions. The Okanagan was chosen for the wonderful twisting roads through wine country but also snow-on-demand at Big White Ski Resort and the setting was perfect.

higher performance, Impreza-based sedan to accolades for that vehicle’s handling, power and design. It could be argued that Subaru has refreshed the outside of this new 2015 Impreza with WRX “light”. The new front grille, headlamps, air intakes and wheel options all make a much bolder statement.

Sold a sedan or hatchback, both cars now have a sharper, more defined look.

But Subaru also wanted to make a statement with what cannot be seen, the way the car is put together.

One of the main areas of focus was sound insulation and reduced cabin noise.

Thicker front and side glass is now used, along with wheel-well sound insulation, thicker door seals and under carpet baffling. Not the kind of advancements that get noticed initially but they are welcome.

2015 Subaru Impreza creates smiles as testers put car through its paces. with a stick, but it is only a 5-speed. On the top two trim levels the Impreza can be equipped with EyeSight, Subaru’s collision mitigation system that can detect objects and pedestrians and will brake the car to a stop if the drive takes

no action. This has proven to be popular with drivers and is something typically found in more expensive cars. What Subaru has not changed is the price. Starting at $19,995 and topping out at $30,295, there is a trim and price for many

Canadian buyers. The added backup camera, improved interior and the bonus of a PZEV engine is all just an added benefit that should help Subaru get even more traction with buyers. zack.spencer@drivewaybc. ca

Verdict The 2015 Impreza is all about small changes to an already good car. The continuously variable transmission (CVT) now has a thicker casing for quieter operation and it now features pre-set steps to help mimic a conventional automatic. And manual transmission owners will be pleased to know that all trim levels can be equipped

Drive Driving over ice covered roads on the way to Big White Ski Resort and then getting to push the Impreza as hard as it would allow on a snow covered handling course, gives a great sense of confidence in the cars AWD system. Traction is not an issue, the limit is really only defined by the type of tires the car is equipped with. For ultimate bite, a good set of winter tires along with the AWD system is impressive. The 148hp 2.0L 4-cylinder engine is carried over from the last car but now it is a Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV), and the Environmental Protection Agency in the United States claims it is the “cleanest gas car on the market”, helping to reduce smog-forming pollutants. Other changes include a re-worked suspension and steering. The springs and dampening have been adjusted to reduce bouncing over big bumps and the steering ratio is quicker.

This along with the much quieter interior makes this a good cruising car but the steering lacks feedback and under hard cornering, the car tends to under steer. The engine too is best suited for cruising; climbing mountain roads strained it at times.

The good news is that enthusiast drivers have the excellent WRX as an option.

The Impreza had a similar one-dimensional attitude before this new model arrived. Yes, it is one of the most practical designs, with big doors that make getting in and out a breeze, the huge windows make outward visibility impressive but the car lacked sophistication. For 2015 Subaru has done a good job of remedying the situation. The radio head unit now looks like a polished, integrated feature, replacing what looked like an afterthought. There is a standard 6.2-inch unit or a larger 7-inch model for cars equipped with navigation. A backup camera is now standard equipment along with Bluetooth connectivity and heated seats are standard on all but the base model.

Going green can be costly To plug in or not to plug in, that is the question faced by the well-heeled, nobler in mind, kind of person, who is determined to go green with the next car purchase.

Forgive me for mashing up the words of my old ex-Pat mate, Will Shakespeare, but reducing one’s carbon footprint is not easy on the pocket book in spite of the fuel savings on offer by “doing the right thing.”

Whichever model you plump for from any of the leading hybrid manufacturers you are going to pay a premium in the thousands over the equivalent stan-

percent of the market.

You can’t blame the manufacturers for this situation. They have showed a willingness to continue subsidizing these products and have promoted the heck out of them. There are positive signs in increasing sales and the continuously improving efficiency of these machines. However, as of today, they are still a steeply priced option for the likes of thee and me.

Especially, as the provisionally funded rebates are now dead.

Yes, you drive one away for less than $30,000 in some cases but that same sum can buy a lot more car elsewhere, many of them powered by very miserly

Keith Morgan

dard gas powered model. In pure economic terms, it will take years of fuel savings to bridge that investment gap.

If you go for a plug-in that offers emission free driving on electric power only for varying stretches of road, you are likely looking at a ten grand premium on top of the pure hybrid sticker price.

Ford C-MAX hybrid and Energi plug-in.

Forgive me, if you’ve heard this from me before but the point I’d like to make here is that I’ve been telling you this version of the story for the past ten years. The sad fact is that the consumers are not warming to green

cars in sufficient numbers for the manufacturers to remove the sting from the sticker price. Green car sales, if I can lump them together for the purpose of simple comparison, still account for less than 5

four-cylinder power plants.

A case in point is the Ford C-MAX, available here either a pure hybrid or plug in – the latter bears the Energi name. The base hybrid version sells for $26,499 and its Energi sibling for $35,999. I’ve only driven the hybrid briefly so I won’t comment too much on its prowess. I can tell you that it is a worthy alternative to the Toyota Prius lineup the V (for versatile), it being the best comparison at $27,480 I’m going to dwell a little more here on the Energi plug-in version as I spent more time at the wheel. For the first part of the week, I ran it purely as a hybrid and averaged about 5.3 L/100 km/h. That’s higher than advertised but to be fair my trips were mainly in the city, short trips and through some ghastly weather.

What a revelation when I plugged it in each night – 7 hours charges it up on the regular 120-volt outlet (2.5 hours on a 240-volt charging station). There are boasts of achieving up to 40 kilometres of driving in electric drive but I managed a little over 30 most days by judicious use of the right foot, in terms of acceleration and regenerative braking.

Ford talks of a fuel economy equivalency of about 1.9 L/100 km/h under ideal conditions. When does that the latter ever happen? – However, I figure I could show an equivalency of around 3 L/100 km/h and perhaps better if I got the chance to get used to how the electric drive and gas engine work to together.

In fact, there’s evidence through testing that early adopters of the plug-in hybrid technology that they began achieving far greater efficiency and longer pure electric driving after about six months’ ownership.

The C-Max has the look of a compact crossover though it’s strictly a front vehicle drive vehicles here.

It’s ideal for a small family, eating up to five people.

The rear luggage area is fabulous in the hybrid but the larger battery in the Energi version does reduce stowage substantially. You would have to look hard at your carrying needs before committing to that level of green righteousness.

SYNC® with MyFord Touch®, are standard features, offering multiple ways for owners to manage and control their phone, navigation, entertainment and climate functions through voice commands, steering wheel controls, touch screens, buttons or knobs. In C-MAX Energi, the system offers battery charge and charge point distance information as well.

Both versions of C-MAX are equipped with SmartGauge® with EcoGuide, an information system allowing drivers to see fuel economy readings on the instrument panel. The technology enables motorists to monitor their driving behavior and its effects on vehicle efficiency.

Brake Coach helps drivers choose good braking techniques to optimize the regenerative braking system.

The test vehicle featured a premium audio and navigation package, thus boosting the base price by $2,500 and a fabulous panoramic roof added a further $1,200 for a total approaching $43,000. Yikes!

No quibble with the quality of the vehicle and the fuel efficiency but the sticker price does cause a sharp intake of breath. keith.morgan@drivewaybc. ca

Honda has had a big year.

Not only did it bring back the popular VFR800F (which I’ll get to in a bit), they released some all-new products.

But the fun isn’t stopping there. With more motorcycles on the way for 2015, I thought now would be a good time to look back at some great bikes I rode in 2014.

Besides, we might be deep into fall – with the accompanying frigid temperatures – but on sunny days, the roads aren’t without motorcycles. That’s definitely a warming thought.

CBR650F Don’t let the “CBR” designation - followed by the 650 – intimidate you.

This all-new middleweight bike has the sporty flair that you’re used to but with a twist.

With a curb weight of 211kg (465 lbs.) and a seat height is 810mm (31.8-inches), complete

Honda VRF800. with a narrow middle profile, it allows a range of riders to feel comfortable atop its seat.

What I really liked about this bike is that yes, you

have the sport bike styling, but without the wrist and backache that can sometimes be experienced.

The ergonomics are more upright so I was comfortable for much longer when I decided to go for an extended ride.

Honda mentions that the development team included many engineers in their 20s.

That’s a good thing, considering they want to attract a younger customer with the CBR650F. Furthermore, engineers decided early on that chasing peak power at redline was off their agenda. Strong acceleration from a standing

start, low/mid range torque and mid-gear roll-on throttle response were targeted as the essential elements.

Speaking of which, it’s powered by a liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, DOHC, inline-4 engine.

It comes in great colours like Sword Silver Metallic, and my test bike, which happened to be the eye-catching Candy Tahitian Blue The CBR650F has an MSRP of $8,999.

VFR800F The wait is over and 2014 saw the re-introduction of the VFR800F.

The legendary motorcycle is completely updated with a modern look, a brand new telescopic fork, Pro-arm swingarm, wheels and bodywork.

Not to mention, there’s an adjustable seat height, standard-fit Traction Control System, ABS, heated grips and Honda’s unique new self-cancelling turn signals.

In the process, it sheds 10kg from the previous model, and has an engine re-tuned for greater low and mid-range torque.

The V4 engine configuration, which powers this sport-touring machine is unique to Honda and dates back four decades.

The 782cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC 90° V4-VTEC engine allows for some great lowend power, but rev it higher and you dig into the VTEC, which will really put a smile on your face.

Much like the VTEC in Honda vehicles, VTEC valve timing still operates one pair of inlet/exhaust valves per cylinder at low rpm, and then switches to four as revs rise but the transition is now seamless.

The seat is height adjustable (789mm/31-inches or 809mm/31.8-inches) using the tool provided and it weighs in at 239kg (527 lbs.)

It’s not a svelte bike by any stretch, so urban riding wasn’t my favourite. But on the open road, it is just a treat.

It has an MSRP of $13,499.

It’s the more adventurous of two NC models (the S and X), with a taller ride height (830mm/32.6-inches in comparison to 790mm/31.1-inches) and a more upright seating position.

This “different” breed of bike isn’t the high redlining sort Honda riders might be used to. It’s ideal for urban romping or a pleasure cruise.

For 2014, an extra 75cc capacity was added to the liquid-cooled, SOHC 8-valve parallel twin- cylinder engine.

With its engine mounted low to the ground, it naturally equates to a low centre of gravity and an easy-to-move-around type of riding dynamic. Furthermore, you can get upwards of 400km out of the 14L tank. Not bad.

And it get’s better.

With the fuel tank under the seat, you have that allows for a handy storage compartment in place of where you’d normally put in your gas; one of the coolest features of this bike.

It has an MSRP of $8,199.

CB500XA One member of the CB500 trifecta, the 500XA, is a charming little bike that fulfills the idea of owning an adventure-style bike but one that is more manageable for newer riders in the genre. It has a compact adjustable windscreen, open riding accommodations and large-capacity fuel tank.

It has an MSRP of $6,049. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

www.kelownacapnews.com B7

Zokol Dental Centre

Don’t be afraid to believe in your cause This is one of the best kept secrets of effective manifestation of your goals: Your outcome is predetermined by your attitude and the mindful influence on your body.

A very wise man (my father) told me once you can only keep one thought in your head at one time.

What’s better is that you choose the thought.

Otherwise, we are no better than sheep.

Visualize, visualize, visualize. Concentrate on your goal throughout the entire day. Be steadfast and immovable in attaining your goal. Some say seeing is believing. I say believing is believing.

I’ve spent many years studying and analyzing the mind body interface.

Some call this mindbody medicine. The bottom line is that your

Ask Dr. Thiel MARKUS THIEL body is your mind.

I have read many studies that have illustrated the power of the mind to influence the body. For example, I often cite one study that involved telling patients wrong lab results. This study talked about patients who were told incorrectly that they were diabetics.

Low and behold, their insulin levels dropped.

Here was a clear and measurable reaction to erroneous information, but information we believed to be true.

After the mistake was corrected, their insulin

level returned to normal.

As a doctor, I understand that there is not one cell in your body that is not innervated or influenced by your nervous system.

Your brain is command central and it regulates, coordinates and influences everything that goes on from your head to your toes.

So, if you enter into your goals with the belief that you can or you can’t, you are going you are going to be right. Be mindful of your internal dialogue. I cannot stress this enough.

You will be what you tell yourself to believe.

Many studies have clearly demonstrated that a depressed person also has a depressed immune

system. We all know people like this.

This is because of their mindset and their personal beliefs toward themselves and others.

Live your life in gratitude, not in want. I live by the motto: Want what you have.

I’m not saying you should live your life by platitudes and nonsensical mantras.

I find these to be useless. We simply are saying them because we know that it simply is not sure but we would like it to be so. Take the time to realize what you want.

Establish the goals and how you will achieve it and then mobilize yourself towards those goals. When that is done, you are already a success.

I believe that we are never surprised by the outcome of our thought,

actions and attitudes.

I have had patients who believe that they will never get better. Guess what, they were right all along.

Conversely, I have patients that were told by previous practitioners: “There was nothing you can do about it and get used to it.” They did not believe it. They believed they would get better, truly believed. They were right. Simply, we believe it to be so. We can all do it and we can do it as soon as we want to start.

Never lose sight in the fact that your brain is the strongest muscle in your body. Use your mind and direct your body and life to do what you tell it to do.

In addition, a Veterans Affairs case worker or nurse will visit veterans in their homes if requested.

Veterans are not required to travel to the veteran affairs office in Penticton.

I remain particularly concerned about the effect misinformation may have on individuals in our community who are suffering from PTSD. As our October community suicide prevention workshop revealed, the most difficult and most essential step in healing is to reach out for help.

So it’s important that individuals and families know support is available.

The Canadian Armed Forces has a solid mental health program in place and Veterans Affairs continues to support veterans and their families through benefit programs and services, which have been enhanced with close to $4.7 billion in new funding by our

government.

As well, last July the federal government announced a partnership with Veterans Emergency Transition Services (VETS) Canada to better deliver assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a wee, to veterans in need.

VETS Canada’s team of volunteers, which include still-serving and retired members of the Canadian Armed Forces and still-serving and retired members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, will provide assistance to at-risk and homeless veterans, and ensure help gets to those who need it.

Services include immediate in-person, online, and telephone assistance to help veterans in need of temporary shelter and access to federal programs and benefits.

Through the VAC Assistance Service, veterans can reach a professional counsellor at any time—24 hours a day, 365 days a year—by calling 1-800-268-7708.

Again, anyone who is having difficulty accessing assistance or information should not hesitate to contact my office.

I want to make sure

every veteran who lives in Kelowna-Lake Country is getting the support they need. *** Re: Infrastructure funding for next phase of John Hindle Drive On Nov. 10, I was pleased to join my colleagues from the City of Kelowna and the province to announce $11.6 million in joint infrastructure funding for the final phase of the John Hindle Drive extension project.

Infrastructure funding remains a significant priority for our government.

Through our $53-billion New Building Canada Plan and the dedicated Gas Tax Fund, Ottawa is committed to working with the municipalities and provincial governments to support their infrastructure priorities.

Ron Cannan is the Conservative MP for Kelowna-Lake Country.

MLA gives shout out to local resident Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick gave tribute in the B.C. Legislature this week to Kelowna resident Shane Worman.

Letnick spoke up during second reading of the ‘Terry Fox Day Act’ on Tuesday. In his speech, Letnick referenced local fundraising efforts for the annual Terry Fox Run in Kelowna, which in recent years has been organized

by Shane Worman, a 10year cancer survivor.

“The 1,400 participants raising over $100,000 in our small part of the world, all because of Terry Fox and his vision and his desire to make sure that he’d leave this planet in a better place than he found it—a real testament to the human spirit,” Letnick said.

“That’s what Terry Fox has given us. He’s given us that purpose…to do our bit to fight cancer by raising a few dollars for cancer research.

“That research has helped not only Shane Worman and his family but our friends right here in this legislature.”

1970-2014 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother and sister.

Florence was born April 3, 1970 in Oliver, B.C. and passed away Nov. 18th, 2014 in Kelowna General Hospital.

Florence is survived by her two daughters, Ashley and Dakota and her sister Shirley. She is also survived by her extended family and foster family.

We invite Florence’s friends and family to a celebration of her life on Saturday, Nov. 22, 2014 at 11:00 am at the Kelowna Church of the Nazarene, 1305 West, Hwy #33 Kelowna, B.C.

September 21, 1966 – November 5, 2014 Dr. Thatcher passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Wednesday, 5 November 2014 in Copenhagen, Denmark. We have lost a great friend, scientist and thinker. A man with unique insights to create and deliver magic in protein science. Solving difficult puzzles brought great joy to Bradley.

He lived his life to the fullest, experiencing all the highs and lows, spending the last 16 years in the biotechnology field both in North America and Europe.

Her mother was from England; her father from the reserve.

HOLIDAY BAZAAR! Friday, November 28 1:30 - 3:30 pm

Guided by her paternal grandfather, stonecarver Jonas Odjig, she dreamed of manifesting her heart’s journey through art, creating respect for professional Native Artists, and achieving her destiny. Odjig is a woman of vision, determination, humour, and love.

Her journey has taken her around the world, and she has earned

honours and prestige for the generosity of spirit she inspires in those she has mentored and in those her works have inspired.

“If my work as an artist has somehow helped to open doors between our people and the nonnative community, then I am glad. I am even more deeply pleased if it has helped to encourage the young people who have followed our generation, to express their pride in our heritage more openly, more joyfully than I would ever have dared to think possible,” said Odjig Currently, Odjig resides in Cottonwoods Care Facility in Kelowna. She fills her waking moments by observing, reflecting, visiting with old friends and meeting new ones.

Most importantly, she continues to make art.

Karen Close moved to the Okanagan in 2003 after retirement from a 27-year career teaching visual arts and English.

Since February 2008, she has facilitated heART

Fit, an introduction to understanding the heart of creative expression and spontaneous process painting.

Close is founding editor of the free online Journal of the Arts and Aging and sits on the advisory board of the Arts Health Network.

In June 2014, she initiated the first Creative Aging day held at the Rotary Centre for the Arts in Kelowna.

They alternate between historical explorations of events that occurred in the area over a century ago—such as the Great Vancouver Coal Strike of 1912-14 and the shooting death of infamous union organizer Albert “Ginger” Goodwin— and present-day stories of people living in the same landscape, in the indeterminate echo of history.

The final story in the book, “All This Was a Long Time Ago”—about a ferry ride across the Salish Sea with the ghost of James Joyce—was awarded the Jack Hodgins Founders Award from The Malahat Review.

Rader is the 2014 recipient of the Canada Council for the Arts’ Joseph S. Stauffer Prize for literature. He has also written three books of poems, including Miraculous Hours (2005), which was a finalist for the Gerald Lampert Memorial Award and long-listed for the ReLit Award.

Rader grew up on Vancouver Island and now lives in Kelowna.

Nov. 28-30 BC Tree Fruits Packinghouse 816 Clement Ave. Kelowna

You’re driving on one of Kelowna’s most popular bypasses— Clement Avenue from Spall to Water Street— and pass though the quickly fading industrial parts of Kelowna.

One of the largest landmarks along this track—the BC Tree Fruits Packinghouse—is about to close its doors before a full redevelopment seeks to revitalize that section of Clement.

So you have one last chance to see inside a building that has been a crucial part of Kelowna’s agricultural heritage.

Combine with that the large-scale installation works by some of our regions up-and-coming artists and you’ve got a recipe for a great art exhibition.

In the spirit of the legendary Mad Hatter art exhibitions organized the by Arts Council of the Central Okanagan for the past three years, Beyond The Invisible will present the work of more than 30 local artists over the course of three days in the BC Tree Fruits Packinghouse.

Jennifer Lauriault, chair of the Mad Hatter committee, explains: “This year’s Beyond The Invisible is so special because of the location. The BC Tree Fruits Packinghouse has such deep ties with the community.

“The fruit packing industry has touched everyone here at some point and now the neighbourhood is changing—this is the last chance to see the space in its original form.

Opening night for the exhibition is set for Friday, Nov. 28, from 7 p.m. to midnight and will feature live performances by popular local band Hot Knox and a DJ set by Rumpus Room.

Admission to the opening night is $10 (tickets available at the door) and visitors are reminded to dress warmly.

The exhibition will also be open to the public on Nov. 29 and 30, from 1to 7 p.m.

SLEEP APNEA?

As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D. Helps to reduce the time it takes to fall a sleep. In most cases also stops snoring and gasping for air (sleep apnea) first night. Stops torturing your partner all night. Good sleep prevents being tired next day. Tired people work only at half capacity.

What people truly experience: < I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable.

Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS < For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air.

During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 NPN 80027595 #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS <It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.
