Dreamlift Day is cancelled Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

A popular charity event that allowed local children with physical disabilities and life-threatening illnesses to fly to Disneyland for a day of worry-free fun has been grounded.

While the Wendy’s Dreamlift Day fundraiser is over, it’s still unclear whether dollars raised in its name earlier this year will see any local kids get a chance to climb aboard a plane and soar away to Disneyland, as planned.

The fundraiser has been a community staple for 20 years and saw Wendy’s restaurants in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Vernon and Penticton donate a day’s worth of profits and wages to the Sunshine Foundation of Canada, which then sent Okanagan kids with a variety of challenges to Disneyland.

The last fundraiser brought in $108,000, which was given to the Sunshine

Outdoor skating returns to Stuart Park Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Kevin Laflamme, with the Stuart Park outdoor ice rink skate rental shop, adjusts Abby Olson’s helmet before she takes to the ice.

As the sun was setting Monday afternoon, Stuart Park’s ice rink was just lighting up with a flurry of activity.

Families with young children, couples and curious passersby streamed onto the ice to slide gracefully in circles for the park’s opening day.

It’s a sight that Kevin Laflamme, the owner and operator of mobile skate rental shop Bladez, has come to appreciate.

“I love it,” said Laflamme. “It’s like Disneyland. Everyone is happy to be here.”

He would have liked it if the city had seen their way to installing some fire pits but, he said, it’s still a pretty phenomenal community amenity.

It’s something that skating mom Sheila Brasnett agreed with.

“It’s not the mall, it’s not video

games…it’s something that’s easy to get to and it’s free,” she said.

The outdoor rink will be open daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., weather permitting.

A camera image hosted on the City of Kelowna website will update frequently, allowing residents to view rink conditions before heading downtown.

Daily closures occur between 11 and 11:30 a.m., 5 and 5:30 p.m., and 8 to 8:30 p.m.

Weekly ice maintenance takes place on Monday’s from 7 to 9 a.m.

If the rink is closed, a yellow sign will be placed in the middle of the rink (and in the middle of the camera image).

If the rink is open, skaters will be on the ice and there will be no signs present.

Even if you don’t see skaters, grab your skates because the ice is ready.

The ice rink is expected to remain in operational until late February, weather permitting.

final price—substantially lower than the reported $50 million CN was originally asking for the corridor lands—was a “Black Friday sale” because it was finalized on Friday, Nov. 28, one of the most popular shopping days in North America.

The negotiated price to secure the corridor is a combination of $22-million in cash and what is considered a land donation for which the City of Kelowna will issue a charitable donation receipt.

The discontinued rail line corridor runs between Kelowna and Mile 88 in Coldstream, just south of Vernon. While not a negotiating partner, the city of Vernon was a supporter of the deal, said Gilchrist, as was the Okanagan Indian Band.

In a release announcing the deal, the local governments said they respect and support the Okanagan Indian Band in its claim of “reversionary rights” on the land that falls within Indian

Reserve No. 7 and, as such, those parcels have been excluded from the pending agreement.

The municipalities now have 120-days to do their due diligence and lift conditions, which include financing. This agreement supersedes the previous application for a non-binding (on the municipalities) net salvage value determination by the Canadian Transportation Agency.

The CTA, which had given two one-week extensions to the allow more time for the municipalities and CN to do a deal, will no longer be required to determine a value of the lands in question.

In the release from Kelowna, the local governments said they are making every effort to minimize the current tax impact in the interest of securing a land asset that would they feel will be valued for generations to come.

In the past, it has been stated that applications could be made for funding to the provincial

and federal government to help pay for the railway corridor lands.

The specific land parcels fall within the jurisdictions of Kelowna, Lake Country and the Regional District of the North Okanagan, so funding options such as partnerships, grants, municipal reserves or borrowing will be finalized by those jurisdictions during the due diligence period.

The agreement stipulates CN will attempt to remove the rail infrastructure from the corridor for salvage by the end of 2015.

Once the discontinuance process has concluded, and assuming public ownership is achieved, local governments will establish construction and operation agreements; determine future costs and other considerations as part of protecting the rail corridor for future generations.

The municipalities would like to see a valleylong recreation trail built along the corridor and in the future, it could even be used for as a transportation route.

Kelowna, Lake Country, Coldstream and Vernon, as well as the regional districts of Central Okanagan and North Okanagan, have jointly identified the value the rail line could have as a continuous multimodal transportation corridor connecting all the communities.

Calling it a “once-in a life-time” opportunity, the City of Kelowna, along with the District of Lake Country and the North Okanagan Regional District announced Monday they have finalized a deal with Canadian National Railway to buy the abandoned former CN rail corridor stretching from Kelowna to Coldstream in the North Okanagan.

The sale price is $22 million plus a tax receipt to CN for the greater value of the land in question.

The deal, expected to close in early March, had been the subject of ongoing negotiations for months. Those negotiations were led by Kelowna city staff.

“This is a once-in-alifetime opportunity to preserve a continuous, regionally-significant corridor with the potential to provide longterm public benefits for our residents,” said Doug Gilchrist, divisional director of community planning and real estate for the City of Kelowna on behalf of the regional partners.

“We are ecstatic to have reached a negotiated agreement with CN that both parties consider fair.”

Gilchrist said he was happy with how the negotiations played out and even joked that the

West Kelowna’s first fire chief calls it a career

West Kelowna Fire Rescue chief Wayne Schnitzler is calling it a career.

Schnitzler told West Kelowna council Monday he plans to retire at the end March following 36 years in firefighting.

Schnitzler’s last day as chief will be March 27.

“I have been extremely fortunate to have worked in the fire service for more than 30 years. It is an incredibly rewarding career,” he said in a news release issued Monday.

“I am also very proud to have worked with our excellent West Kelowna firefighters who are a force, I believe, which is second to none. I will miss them, and working with the staff and the

council of West Kelowna.

But I am looking forward to starting the next chapter.”

While he did not say what he plans to do next, and could not be reached for comment, Schnitzler was praised

by West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater for his work as the district’s first, and so far only, fire chief, particularly during several

Schnitzler worked his way through the ranks, becoming the captain of training before being

Schnitzler was previously fire chief for the former Westside Fire Protection District, starting in 1996. As West Kelowna’s chief, he oversaw four fire halls, two assistant chiefs, 28 full-time firefighters, approximately 60 paid, on-call firefighters, a fire prevention officer, a fire inspector, a public educator and two support staff.

Schnitzler got his start in firefighting as a paid, on-call firefighter with the City of Surrey in 1979,

large scale emergencies such as the Glenrosa wildfire and wild fires in Rose Valley and Terrace Mountain to the north of the municipality.

“I know I speak on behalf of council when I say that Chief Schnitzler will be greatly missed,” said Findlater. He was a member of the first West Kelowna council that hired Schnitzler in 2008.

“Wayne has worked alongside myself and council on numerous occasions, helping us to navigate some significant emergency situations and it was obvious how fortunate we are to have his tremendous experience and knowledge on our side. He will be a hard

Opinion OUR VIEW

Students face a mountain of debt No matter what their course major or grade point average, students at UBC Okanagan and elsewhere around the province are getting a cold, hard lesson in fiscal reality.

A recent BMO survey found the average B.C. student has $35,000 in debt upon graduation, the highest in the nation.

While the point of the message was right on target, the location of the protest was a little off the mark. Students know all about the problems of mounting debt.

It is the politicians and the public who have tuned out after a decade of protests, finding it easier to shrug it off as students looking for a free ride.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Needs-based grants were eliminated in B.C. a decade ago, and since 2001 tuition fees have more than doubled while per-student funding has dropped by 14 per cent.

The B.C. government is quick to warn of a looming skills shortage but loathe to commit the resources needed to fend it off.

The province must act to make post-secondary education more accessible, whether it is through a return to needsbased grants, the elimination of interest on student loans, or perhaps they could look into the ridiculous increases in the cost of textbooks, which have jumped 812 per cent since 1978, far more than tuition costs. But something needs to change or it will be the provincial economy that pays the price.

One study found that two-thirds of students who decide against enrolling in university say that the prospect of taking on significant student debt affected their decision. That hurts the student and the economy dependent on a skilled workforce. Financial limitations should not be a deterrent to some of B.C.’s brightest from getting the education they deserve and we as a society will one day rely upon.

CAPITAL news AWARD-WINNING COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER

Mourning the loss of Dreamlift Day It was an event that, in the words of one of the former owners of the Wendy’s ALISTAIR restaurants in WATERS the Central Okanagan, Kamloops and Salmon Arm, “took on a life of its own.”

But that life appears to have come to an end with an announcement by the current owner of the local restaurants that the extremely popular Wendy’s Dreamlift Day will be no more. After 20 years, the fund raiser used by the restaurants to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to send children with life-threatening illness to Disneyland for one day, is being abandoned.

Earlier this year, as he beamed with pride during Dreamlift Day at the Harvey Avenue Wendy’s, the then new owner Ken Park—who bought the nine regional restaurants from a group headed by John Tietzen— seemed genuinely taken with the massive outpouring of community support for the fundraising effort.

He said he was proud to continue the Dreamlift tradition established by the previous owners.

But something changed. Up until Tuesday, Park was not talking. However, the public was. On local radio, at coffee shops and around town, public outrage was being expressed, with some even vowing to boycott local Wendy’s restaurants because of the decision.

Working with Sunshine Dreams For Kids, an organization that grants wishes to terminally ill children, Dreamlift caught on here like few fundraisers have.

In the sometimes bitterly cold month of January, when Dreamlift Day took place, you would see long lines of vehicles waiting patiently to go through a Wendy’s drivethrough directed by RCMP officers. Inside, the line-ups to get food snaked around the restaurants and could take as much as an hour to clear. But the public didn’t seem to mind. They stood in line and waited. They talked to those ahead and behind and they knew all the money they were spending that day was going a great program. It was the same with the staff who donated their day’s wages to the cause. Former staff even asked to come back and work a shift on Dreamlift Day so they could contribute.

The decision to axe Dreamlift Day may very well have been a business one. But Dreamlift had a real impact. It touched real lives—from the public to the local organizers and restaurant staff, from the myriad of volunteers including the Orange Country Sheriffs in California who volunteered to accompany every child who participated in a Dreamlift trip while they went around Disneyland park.

And of course it impacted the a children and their families. This was a made-in-the southern Interior event that mattered.

How else do you explain the response of a young child on one of the early Dreamlift flights returning from Disneyland, who late at night was asked who the Mickey Mouse doll she had was for. Her groggy response was her doctor, because, in her words, without him she would not be alive to go on the trip.

When you hear that from a child fighting a lifethreatening illness, you know that day out she just experienced meant something.

BC Hydro thinks ‘little pocket’ of Westbank is in Peachland

Bringing US-style of Thanksgiving back home

BC Transit needs to up its game as far as Classic Shoes WE FIT EVERYONE! communicating goes

To the editor: Here is a news flash for BC Hydro. You obviously do not know who resides on the electrical grid for Peachland.

Reading the on-line news early Friday morning, it was announced that residents of Peachland as well as BC Hydro customers south of Peachland and north of Summerland, would be without power that day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This was necessary to repair a pole that, ironically, is in West Kelowna.

Even though the affected pole is in West Kelowna, according to BC Hydro’s spokesman, no residents of West Kelowna would be affected. Try telling that to residents on Springer Road, Elliott Road, Bering Road (and I’m sure some others I’m not aware of) in the Westbank area. We sat in the cold and dark on Wednesday, Nov. 26 from 4:15 a.m. to 6 p.m. while the rest of West Kelowna was unaware there was even a power outage.

Once again we were left in the cold and dark on Nov. 28 with no warning.

I understand that the electrical crews worked around the clock to restore power on the 26th—and I am thankful. I also understand that the work on the electrical pole near the Shannon Lake sub-station was necessary—and I appreciate that fact.

However, when a scheduled power outage is to occur, it would be nice to be notified.

Last time I looked, we were part of West Kelowna. Apparently, when it comes to hydro, our little pocket of homes in Westbank belongs to Peachland.

Sandy Watson, Westbank area of West Kelowna

To the editor: I wanted to take the time to write an encouraging letter to our wonderful community as we head in to the holidays.

Kelowna is an amazing community full of great people and leaders. This is one of the most beautiful places in the world to call home. I say this because in 2014 I made the decision to move back home after spending eight years living in the United States.

Anywhere I lived could not match the peace and beauty of Kelowna. We are truly blessed as a community to be surrounded with culture, nature, good food, great churches, and most of all good hearted people.

There will always be those who like to grumble about issues that may or may not affect the general population but I ask of you this Christmas season to share your positive spirits and uplifting words to those who need it. Take time out of your day to notice the beauty around you instead of the slow car in front of you. Put your technology to the side and ask your loved ones to tell you something you don’t know about them. Share your smile with those you pass at the mall or simply reflect upon all of the good in this amazing world.

I am grateful for my family, my fiancé, and the fact that I get to live in this great city.

Please be kind to one another this season and especially to those in need. You will be amazed at what your sharing of kindness can do for others but most of all for yourself.

Visit citylightkelowna.ca for more ideas on how to spread some light this Christmas.

Bullies should be dealt with in a way that works To the editor: I am writing this letter to make awareness towards bullying as it is still a very big problems in our schools and internet.

When is it enough that a parent should step in and help their child and it is right away.

All schools say there is zero tolerance but really that is just a saying as they really don’t do much. When a child health is at risk and they are being bullied everyday is there really a solution to the problem?

I believe there is that is a talk from your school liaison police officer and give them some community service so maybe they would learn that it is not right. Just watching to make sure it does not happen does not work because it still happens as soon as the authority turns there back.

The power that the bully feels when they torment the other child and make fun of them needs to be taken away and they need to be shown a proper punishment.

Why are the parents not being tougher on their children that bully others. I am not

saying that the child who is being bullied is not a perfect person but it needs to stop when the child is feeling insecure on going to school, stress is in their everyday life and wanting to quit things they love to do and enjoy.

The stress that it causes the families of the child who is being bullied is feeling of being overwhelmed and stuck not sure what to do to protect their child. Changing schools but it just happens everywhere you go.

So the question is when is it enough that it becomes a problem and safety concern?

Then society is asking why there is so many shootings in schools and why there is so much suicide with children these days?

The answer is that the child is feeling as they are not being listened to or heard by their peers that are suppose to protect them at school.

There should be more done to protect these children and more consequences to the bullies.

To the editor: “BC Transit is pleased to have partnered with the federal, provincial and local governments to connect people to their destinations easier and faster than ever before.”

Basically, BC Transit has received money from each level of government to improve bus services. That money comes from taxes that you and I pay.

We have heard a lot about rapid link, but nothing about other services.

For example the No. 28 bus was a service that went up Elliott to Smith Creek and back.

Now the 28 does a circular route along Old Okanagan Hwy up to Asquith Road, past the Landfill and through Smith Creek then down Elliott to Westbank Centre. A much more sensible route to pick up riders as people now don’t have to walk so far to catch a bus. Thus they are more likely to use the service to link with the rapid bus system.

But who knows about this feeder route improvement?

When a service is improved, would it not be a good idea for BC Transit to mail that information to the area serviced by that route, or perhaps to advertise it a little?

Unfortunately, although route for 28 has been improved, the times are still unrealistic.

The first morning bus out of Smith Creek is 7:38 a.m. That is way too late for many workers to be starting their journeys.

The last bus up to Smith Creek area leaves Westbank Centre at 5:18 pm. That is not useful to 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. workers because it would be impossible to get from say, Kelowna to Westbank Centre in less than 18 minutes to catch the last bus.

One last point, despite searching the website, I cannot find any information/map with bus stops identified. I can find timing points, but nothing further.

Please BC Transit, can you be a little more enthusiastic in your marketing tactics to encourage us to use your service. Information would be a great first step!

“We are going to shift our charitable giving to align with the other 51 Wendy’s restaurants in B.C., the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.”

The foundation’s goal is to find “loving and permanent families for children who are lingering in the Canadian foster care system in B.C.” Park said that as a father to two teenagers, the idea of children not having a home is particularly heart wrenching, and that’s why he’s shifting gears.

It’s still an unexpected shift.

Fundraiser to focus on Wendy’s cause to find homes for foster kids

Former local Wendy’s franchise owner John Tietzen, who started the Dreamlift Day fundraiser 20 years ago, was joined for the 2012 event by Wendy Thomas, the daughter of the restaurant chain’s founder, Dave Thomas. the restaurant chain from John Tietzen, who founded Dreamlift Days in 1995, he said Dreamlift Day wasn’t going anywhere.

“I’m pretty comfortable because Ken wants to keep our legacies. He paid to keep the name Inland Restaurants. In our office we have a lot of historical pictures—he wants copies of all of those to be kept on the wall. He’s keeping all the staff, managers, regional office staff and area partners— the only person that’s leaving is me,” Tietzen said in 2012, noting that Dreamlift, in particular, was safe with Park.

“I think he’s very respectful of what we’ve built here and who we

“We remain focused and committed to giving to the community,” he said. “I hope our community still supports Wendy’s. We are still going to donate our wages, and have an event, we’re just giving to a different group.

Without Kelowna’s support we can’t make the event successful.”

Over its 20 year run the event raised more than $1.4 million, and enlisted the help of countless community members. It also saw at least seven flights filled with local kids who had their dream come true.

Park himself said that the community ties to the event were remarkable after witnessing his first Dreamlift Day. “I spent the entire day watching, observing and learning. I thought: Wow, this is nothing like I’ve seen before…there is a lot of emotional attachment to this event,” Park told a Capital News reporter in 2013.

Park admits that he did say the tradition would carry on when he first took the company’s reins, but he doesn’t have any second thoughts about initiating the change, pointing out that the children who will be helped by the charity are also in the community.

St. Paul’s Sanctuary project means time capsule revealed Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

archivists and the museum before we open it,” said Shawna Banman, the church’s office administrator.

“We want to make sure the contents are protected.”

The brown metal box that’s about one-foot by one-foot in size, was soldered shut and placed behind the cornerstone of the church when it was built in 1957. It was removed when the first steps toward demolishing the building were taken at a ceremony held last week.

“We had decided to take out the cornerstone, ahead of time to have it ready for when we had our big breaking brick ceremony,” said Banman.

“When they pulled the cornerstone out they found it in the back.”

The discovery was a complete surprise to everyone closest to the church. “Even our longest term members don’t know anything about it,” she said.

The box was brought to services last Sunday, so everyone could get a look at it, but the date of the opening is sometime in the offing.

“I’m still waiting to find

out when and where we can open it,” she said.

The demolition is scheduled to take place so the church can rebuild and expand.

The church owns a 1.6 acre property that fronts onto both Lakeshore and KLO roads. The proposed redevelopment is intended to capitalize on that location with a project that incorporates commerce, culture and faith.

St. Paul’s website for the Sanctuary project says the redevelopment will see the church transformed into a cultural hub similar to the downtown’s Rotary Centre for the Arts.

The redevelopment will include a new worship centre for St. Paul’s, with a 240-seat theatre, rooftop chapel, meeting rooms and a commercial kitchen available for rent, public space for performances by musicians, and an artists gallery.

There will also be traditional retail space on the ground floor, and offices on the second storey. On the third and fourth floors there will be space for private residences.

LOCAL FUNDRAISER

Local A&Ws continue to fight cystic fibrosis This Saturday, Dec. 6, participating A&W restaurants in central B.C. host the seventh annual Breath of Life Day, a local fundraiser to help infants, children and young adults with their daily battle with cystic fibrosis.

For every burger sold, each participating A&W will donate one dollar to Cystic Fibrosis Canada.

Last year the event raised over $51,000.

Claude Uzelman, one of the local A&W owners and organizers said, “This year, we are going to break new ground.

Everyone is invited and with your support we are going over the top!”

The A&Ws make Breath of Life a fun day for all. This year, as an added bonus, someone is going to win brand new car, with the draw taking place Dec. 19.)

Entry forms are available through Dec. 16 at participating A&Ws; Westbank, Kelowna, Winfield, Vernon,

Armstrong, Salmon Arm, Kamloops (Columbia) and Ladysmith and Bannister Automotive Group dealerships.

“With ongoing research,” Uzelman said, “one day, in the not too distant future, all those living with CF will hear the words ‘You are cured.

You can expect to lead a normal life.’ Would that not be wonderful news?”

ABOUT CYSTIC FIBROSIS

Cystic fibrosis is the most common, fatal, genetic disease. It affects thousands of Canadian children and young adults.

In the digestive tract, CF blocks the absorption of adequate nutrients from food. In the lungs, in a short period of time, respiratory problems can become increasingly severe resulting in loss of lung function.

City hall theme will be ‘open for opportunity’ Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Three years ago Walter Gray used the phase “open for business” to squeak out an election win in the Kelowna mayoral race.

It was a phrase he used again on the night he was sworn into office to shape his inaugural address.

Colin Basran, took that approach one step further Monday night when he was sworn in as Gray’s successor. Basran used his own “open for opportunity” phrase as the theme for his inaugural address.

Standing with the heavy gold chain of office around his neck, Basran, the city’s youngest mayor at 37, told the audience at the Mary Irwin Theatre in the Rotary Centre for the Arts, being open for opportunity means much more than just the financial health of the city.

“That means focusing equally on the social, physical and mental health of all,” Basran said.

In a speech that touched on most of the major recent and

He received the chain of office from Judge Jane Cartwright. approved future projects the city has on its books, Basran said when one runs for public office at the municipal level it’s not about politics, but “leadership, vision and good government.”

As has been the tradition following recent municipal elections in Kelowna, the new mayor and his eight councillors, returnees, Luke Stack, Gail Given, Mohini Singh, and Maxine DeHart,

along with newcomers Tracy Gray, Brad Sieben, Ryan Donn and Charlie Hodge, were all sworn in by local judge Jane Cartwright during the ceremony.

In his address, Basran, a former television news reporter turned realtor who sat on council for one term prior to running for mayor, stressed the need to make Kelowna attractive to all, including young

families, businesspeople, entrepreneurs and the innovation sector.

But he said social programs, affordable housing and improved transit will also play a major part.

Noting one of the first tasks of the new council will be to approve the 2015 budget, he said from now on protective services projects, such as the $48 million RCMP building, will be broken out to show their direct impact on taxation.

He also said a new initiative within city hall will be established called Enterprise Kelowna, which will actively search for ways to reduce the tax impact each year by finding ways the city can raise revenue without competing directly with existing businesses.

He said selling naming rights for civic buildings and facilities could be one way to raise money.

“We offer services that no other businesses offer,” said Basran. “So how can we take those and leverage them and make revenue for the city without charging our residents?” he asked.

Noting the impending retirement of the city’s director of business development Jim Paterson, Basran said that’s a position his administration will not allow to sit vacant for long.

He named himself, Stack, Given, DeHart, Sieben and Gray to the regional district board, with Singh, Donn and Hodge as alternates.

To wrap up the inauguration ceremony, Basran recognized the long contributions to the city of former mayor Walter Gray, the two long-time city councillors who did not seek reelection—Robert Hobson and Andre Blanleil—and Gerry Zimmermann, the city’s former fire chief who served one term on the outgoing council.

Zimmermann was out of town and could not attend the inaugural council meeting.

HIGH SCHOOL

whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

It had been 20 years since Brian Drosdovech coached the Immaculata Mustangs to the school’s first ever B.C. high school girls A volleyball title.

And despite assembling many more strong teams in the two decades since, it wasn’t until Saturday night that Drosdovech’s Mustangs found themselves back on top.

In a dramatic final inside a raucous Immaculata gym, the Mustangs needed all five sets (25-19, 18-25, 22-25, 25-22, 15-12) to defeat the Langley Christian Lightning in the B.C. championship final.

After slipping behind two sets to one, the Mustangs trailed in the fourth and looked to be in danger of losing the match. But a determined Immaculata squad rallied back to win the fourth set, then completed the comeback in the fifth to capture the 16-team

event.

Drosdovech, who promoted assistant coach Kasandra Palmer to the role of head coach for the provincials, said the Mustangs showed character en route to the gold medal.

“We kind of lost our way in the fourth set, but the girls battled back,” said Drosdovech.

“They’ve been doing that all season. Then in the fifth, we were down 8-7 at the switch, but the girls just kept chipping away.

They did a great job to finish it off.”

The Mustangs have been knocking on the door for the last several years, winning a pair of bronze medals in 2010 and 2011, and silvers in 2012 and 2013 when they ran up against their local rivals, the Kelowna Christian Knights.

Drosdovech said the 2014 edition of the Mustangs is a unique group.

“It was nice for the girls who had been so

emotional teams than this one.

“With these girls sometimes you wondered if they had a heartbeat,”

The Immaculata Mustangs celebrate the B.C. School Sports girls A volleyball championship Saturday night in Kelowna. he explained. “No rah, rah…they just went out and played and went about their business.

Maybe a little cheer here and there, but just a very cool and calm team.”

Megan Hart, the Mustangs’ 6-foot-4 power hitter, was named the tournament’s MVP. Teammates Gemma Davies and Natalie Livingston were named first-team all-stars, while

Emma Johnson was a second-team all-star and Immaculata’s Kyra Cabral was named the best defensive player.

The rest of the B.C. champion Mustangs are Ashley Prehofer, Sarah Parkes, Morgan Painchaud, Katie Speiss, Nicole Hart and Amanda Grant, who was injured for the provincials.

Meanwhile, next season will be

Drosdovech’s 25th and final season at the helm of the senior girls’ team. He’ll move over to Immaculata’s junior program to devote more time to developing young players.

It’s Drosdovech’s hope that Kasandra Palmer—a former Mustangs’ player—will eventually assume the full-time role as Immaculata’s head coach.

“It’s been great, but 25 years is a long time, it’s time for someone else to take this on,” he said.

“My forte is developing kids, so that’s what I’ll be focusing on.”

Meanwhile, Kelowna’s Aberdeen Hall Gryphons, ranked 14th heading into provincials, improved their standing with a ninthplace showing.

Bowey and Chartier to junior selection camp

A pair of Kelowna Rockets will have the chance to make Team Canada for the 2015 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championships this month in Toronto and Montreal.

Captain Madison Bowey and leading scorer Rourke Chartier have both been invited to attend Canada’s national junior selection camp, beginning Dec. 11 at the MasterCard Centre for Hockey Excellence in Toronto.

“Both Madison and Rourke fully deserve

this opportunity,” said Rockets President/GM Bruce Hamilton, also a member of the Team Canada management committee. “Madison was at the summer camp and has had a great start to the season. Rourke wasn’t on the radar screen at all because of his age, but now with 29 goals he has earned his position at the camp.”

Chartier, 18, leads the WHL in both goals (29) and points (48), while Bowey, 19, is second among all WHL defencemen with 30

points (8-22).

Fellow Rockets Nick Merkley, who at 17 is second to Chartier in WHL scoring, along with Tyson Baillie, whose 19 goals is third in the league, were under

Rourke Chartier

consideration but were not named to the tryout camp.

“We’re going with an older team and in Merkley’s case he’s going to have his opportunities in the future,” said

Hamilton. “We kept the camp to under 30 players because we are still waiting to hear on four NHL players. Tyson’s having a great year but he just fell short.”

Hamilton was in Montreal for the announcement as part of the Team Canada Program of Excellence management committee for the second straight year.

“I’m really excited,” he said. “I really like the players we have in the selection camp. A lot of time has gone into this

process and we are in this to win it.”

The selection camp roster includes two goaltenders, 10 defencemen and 17 forwards. Canada’s final roster will include 22 players, and must be finalized by Dec. 25.

HEFFLEY TRADED…

The Rockets dealt overage forward Colton Heffley this week to the Prince Albert Raiders. In return, Kelowna receives a fourth round 2016 WHL bantam draft pick.

KSS VOLLEYBALL

KSS girls grab B.C. bronze Silver for Owls, Bears bronze again, while Ali Benson and Sadie Taylor-Parks “dominated the middle with excellent blocking and a very nice quick attack,” Sodaro said the coach added that the Owls’ three senior starters were the class of the tournament.

“Captain Alexa Eger, middle Aly Benson and of course libero Kennedy Snape were all standouts this year,” Sodaro added. “The Owls program has benefitted tremendously from their leadership, dedication and determination. These seniors have helped put KSS volleyball back in the medals, while demonstrating the importance of hard work and dedication to team.”

Kennedy Snape and Quinci Birker of the Owls were named to the B.C. championship all-star

team.

The Owls won bronze at the 2009 B.C. championships and gold in 2011.

The Mt. Boucherie Bears placed 11th at the 2014 championship.

JUNIOR OWLS

Saturday’s bronze medal capped off a decorated season for girls volleyball at KSS. A week earlier, the Owls junior girls’ team picked up a bronze medal at the B.C. School Sports junior championship in Delta.

The Owls, coached

by Rochelle Youngberg, defeated Pacific Academy 2-1 in the 3rd/4th place game. Kelowna’s Sarah Watson was named to the first all-star team, while Sadie Taylor-Parks was named to the second team.

Mike Sodaro has seen this movie before.

And for the third time, the ending wasn’t what quite he envisioned.

The KSS Owls, ranked No. 1 for much of the season in B.C. high school AAA boys volleyball, settled for second best in the province for the third straight year.

On Saturday night in Langley, the Owls fell in four sets (25-23, 20-25, 25-16, 26-24) to Earl Marriott in the gold medal match—the second straight year the teams have squared off in the final.

“It was a tough loss,” said Sodaro.

“Unfortunately the other team came out and did some things we didn’t adjust to. We played well all weekend but struggled in the final. I think we had some final game jitters, they’re high school kids,

loss at the end, but still a very successful season.”

Eight players will graduate from Owls, including starters Devon Cote, Eli Risso, Sam Taylor Parks and Kyle Buchanan.

Cote and Risso earned first all-star honours, while Taylor Parks was named to the second team.

Cote, who will play next season for the UBC Okanagan Heat, also won the Spike Contest on Friday.

For the third time in five seasons, the Kelowna Owls have returned home with some hardware from the B.C. high school girls 4A volleyball championship.

With a victory over No. 5 Handsworth on Saturday, the third-ranked Owls claimed the bronze medal at the provincial finals in Cranbrook.

After a tough fiveset win over Tweedsmuir in the quarterfinals the previous night and a gruelling two-hour loss to No. 2 Riverside in the semis, KSS rebounded with a gutsy effort in the 3rd/4th place finale.

Coach Tony Sodaro said his entire roster was exceptional, including five junior players who had won a week earlier at provincials.

The Owls rolled through the power pool, then took down David Thompson, Delta and the rival Mt. Boucherie in the playoffs to advance to the final.

While another silver

wasn’t the desired result, Sodaro said it was another strong year for the KSS program.

“It was a great year,” said Sodaro. “(Earl Marriott) was the only 3A team we lost to all season. It was a tough

For the second year in a row, Mt. Boucherie Bears grabbed the bronze medal at the AAA boys championship.

After a hard-fought loss to the rival KSS Owls on Friday night in Langley, the Bears rebounded for a convincing sweep over Oak Bay in the 3rd/4th place match on Saturday.

“Our guys came out ready and put the disappointment of (Friday) behind them,” said Joel Kern who co-coaches the Bears with John McParland. “They didn’t let up at all, just put the pedal down and got down to business.”

Kern said brothers Ryan and Jeremy Bednar were strong on the outside and libero Riley Berthaudin was “a calming influence again, a stabilizing force on our group.”

OKM HUSKIES 10TH

The Okanagan Mission Huskies settled for 10th place overall at the B.C. boys AA high school championship in Langley.

In the 9th/10th place game Saturday, Pacific Academy defeated OKM 2-0 (25-20, 25-23).

After being knocked into the lower half of the draw with a loss to Surrey Christian on Thursday, the Huskies then defeated Ballenas and Smithers to reach the 9th-place match.

Okanagan Rockets drop two in Prince George

Warriors trio invited to selection camp

A road trip to Prince George turned out to be as tough as expected as the Okanagan Rockets came up empty in B.C. Major Midget League action.

The first-place Cariboo Cougars swept a pair of weekend games from the Rockets, winning 4-1 on Saturday and 3-0 on Sunday.

Zach Erhardt scored Okanagan’s lone goal of the weekend on a power play.

The Cougars (172-1) lead the way in the BCMML, while the Rockets sit in third at 136-1.

Okanagan returns to home ice this weekend as the North Island Silvertips come to town.

The teams meet Saturday at 3 p.m. and Sunday at 10 a.m. at CNC.

MAC’S TOURNAMENT…

For the eighth consecutive, the Rockets are bound for the prestigious Mac’s Midget AAA Tournament in Calgary.

The 2013 tournament was the most successful Mac’s in the Rockets history as they earned their first ever playoff berth, then reached the semi-finals on New Year’s Eve before bowing out to the eventual champions, the Finnish national team.

“The Mac’s has become an annual tradition for our hockey club,” said Okanagan general

manager David Michaud.

“It’s a huge priority for our club and it provides tremendous exposure for our players. Alumni like Josh Ellis and Cortlan Procter don’t win a national championship with the Yorkton Terriers last season without the Mac’s Tournament.”

The Mac’s features 25 male and 15 female clubs. There was a distinct European flavour last season as both the Finnish and Swiss U17 National teams made an appearance.

The Rockets will depart for Calgary on Christmas Day, and typically kickstart the event on Boxing Day.

Three members of the West Kelowna Warriors are within a step of representing their country on an international level.

Liam Blackburn, Kristian Blumenschein, and Jonathan Desbiens have been invited to the Team Canada West selection camp for the upcoming World Junior A Challenge.

The selection camp runs Dec. 7 to 9 in Calgary, with the World Junior A Challenge slated for Dec. 14 to 20 in Kindersley, Sask.

Last season, the Warriors sent four players to selection camp, with Adam Plant making the team.

“It’s a great opportunity

for these players to have the chance to represent your country, it’s a huge honor and we wish them the best,” said associate head coach Brent Gough.

Blackburn, who sits in second in league scoring, is excited for the opportunity. “It’s always special getting selected to a camp like this, it just shows that the hard work all summer and so far this season is paying off, and I’m excited to head to Calgary.”

For Desbiens, “It’s an honour to be selected to

this camp and I’m very hopeful to represent Canada at this event.”

Blumenschein, a 17-year-old rearguard is “excited to be a rookie defenseman and invited to the camp. It was a bit of a surprise but I look forward to heading to Calgary with some of my teammates to gain experience with the top players in Western Canada.”

WARRIORS VS SALMON ARM

The Warriors will battle the Salmon Arm

Silverbacks in a BCHL home-and-home set this weekend.

Friday’s game will go at Royal LePage Place, with the rematch set for Saturday in Salmon Arm. The Warriors (14-8-05) are coming off a 4-3 victory over the Interior Division leading Penticton Vees Saturday at the South Okanagan Events Centre.

Brayden Gelsinger deflected home the game winner with 36 seconds remaining in the third period.

A familiar face and a offensive threat is back with the Kelowna Chiefs.

Nick Josephs, who was recently released by the BCHL’s Salmon Arm SilverBacks, will rejoin the KIJHL team for Friday’s home game against the Revelstoke Grizzlies.

“Adding Nick Josephs to our team is nothing less than spectacular,” said Chiefs head coach Jason Tansem. “Nick is not only a fantastic hockey player, he is tremendous role model, leader and teammate.

Saying we are excited to have him back is an understatement.”

The 19-year-old forward left the Chiefs last season after being picked up by the Silverbacks. In just 33 games with Kelowna in 2013-14, Josephs had 37 goals and 38 assists for 75 points. That was just one point shy of his 2012-13 season where the Calgary native collected 76 points in 41 games.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs made a couple of roster moves this week by trading two players.

Kelowna sent forward and assistant captain Brady Mende to the Revelstoke Grizzlies for future considerations.

The Chiefs also dealt rookie defenceman Nick Evdokimoff to the Columbia Valley Rockies for forward Ryan Lawson.

Emily Oxland started at setter on Friday for UBC Okanagan and finished with a game high 29 assists.

Beamish and Given led the Heat with 15 and 13 kills, respectively. Serving

specialist Megan Festival ripped in five service aces while Jones led the match with 20 digs.

While Saturday wasn’t his team’s best effort, head coach Steve Manuel is happy with the Heat’s overall performance in the first semester.

“We had a tough start, and we knew MacEwan would be tough,” Manuel said. “We could just as easily be 8-8 as 12-4.

So we’re happy, but not surprised that we could be here.”

Heather Semeniuk UBC Okanagan women’s basketball squad earned a split in Prince George on the weekend and will head into the holiday break with a 3-5 record in the Canada West conference.

On Friday, the Heat controlled play from start to finish in a 72-58 victory over the UNBC Timberwolves.

The Heat tallied four players in double-digits and were led by third year guard Jessica Jazdarehee who drove her team to victory with 17 points and five rebounds.

Sarah Allison added 15 points, Kayla McFadden added 13 points and six rebounds, while Shenelle Tamminen chipped in 12 points off the bench.

The Heat was also solid defensively.

“Better team defense was a focus of ours before the game and I think we did a good job carrying that out,” said Jazdarehee postgame.

“Better rotations and collapsing on ball…full court press helped too.”

On Saturday, UBCO couldn’t repeat the effort and fell 76-70 to the T’Wolves.

Down by 23 points at the half against the hotshooting UNBC squad, the Heat rallied over the final 20 minutes but came up just short in the end.

“Unfortunately (UNBC’s hot start) really hurt our offensive flow and we lost our focus on getting defensive stops,” said Heather Semeniuk, who is in her final season coaching the Heat.

“The second half was ours. We outscored them 40-23 and got it down to a three point spread with about four or five minutes left.”

Allison put up a team high of 17 points while Angela White added 12.

After the holiday break, UBC Okanagan will travel to Thompson Rivers University for a doubleheader against the WolfPack.

Business traffic flowing again as new Lakeshore Bridge opens jrussell@kelownacapnews.com

Lakeshore Drive Bridge over Mission Creek opened last Sunday, and by Monday local businesses were feeling things were getting back to normal.

Harri, manager of the PetroCan on the south side of the new bridge, was very happy to have Lakeshore open.

“It’s picking up, I love it. It’s getting back to somewhat normal,” he said with a chuckle. “(Monday) has been a little more busy than normal with no construction crews stopping the traffic. It’s more of a steady flow.”

Harri said he was seeing both regular customers as well as new ones.

Shaun, at the car wash,

was welcoming his old customers back again.

“Yea, It’s going well. It’s starting to open up a little bit,” he said.

“People are very happy the bridge is open now. I would say they are looking forward to everything going back to normal.”

He had no issue with how the city had managed the flow of business into the area

while the road was blocked.

“I think it was more up to the contractor to keep business coming through the area,” Shaun said.

“The city had to work with the contractor and I think they did the best they could. I don’t hold anything against them.”

Kim, co-owner of the Pharmasave at the corner of Lexington, hadn’t noticed much difference

While the elves are busy in Santa’s workshop, technicians at Kelowna Cycle are busy at their winter workshop on Sutherland Avenue repairing donated bikes.

The bikes are destined for local charities and for young students who cannot afford a bike at the nearby Raymer Elementary School.

“All of our refurbished bikes go back to our local community,” says owner Patrick Rosen, whose donation program is now going into its fifth year. “With snow on the ground our technicians use this time to get donated bikes road ready for when the biking season in the spring.

The staff at Kelowna Cycle believe a bike is not only a great form of transportation, but it enables employment, education, exercise and peace of mind — but most of all, freedom.”

The inspiration for the program began back in 2010 when Rosen noticed more kids were walking than riding at the school’s

Kelowna Cycle has put a call out to the

community for donations of old bikes. All donations are accepted; technicians refurnish those they can and will salvage parts from those beyond repair.

Donated bikes will go to the Kelowna’s Women’s Shelter, Kelowna

Gospel Mission and the Kelowna Branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association.

“We are so grateful for the support of Kelowna Cycle,” says Kelowna Women’s Shelter executive director Karen Mason. “In a typical year, more than 225 women and their children find a safe place to stay at the Kelowna Women’s Shelter, and transportation is often an issue, so having bikes for them to use is a wonderful addition to the services we offer.”

“The bike program has been a blessing for many of our clients,” says Kelowna Gospel Mission executive director Randy Benson. “Owning a bike offers opportunities and can enable someone to get groceries or to class, or for those looking for work, make it easier for them to get around to possible employers.”

More than 50 bikes have been given to those in need since the program began.

In 1993, Rosen started

as a junior mechanic-intraining at Kelowna Cycle and dreamed of owning his own shop. In 2008, he bought the business, which has expanded to two locations, one in Pandosy and one on Sutherland Avenue.

Kelowna Cycle serves a wide variety of customers including recreational and competitive riders as well as children and adults in need.

an HIV test and begin life-saving treatment if necessary.”

The first phase of the campaign promotes HIV testing for all adults but specifically targeting men who have sex with

men. Future campaign materials will target additional high prevalence populations including injection drug users and sex trade workers.

IH gets sexy to promote HIV testing Interior Health has launched a campaign to encourage all adults to get tested for HIV. The My Health Is Sexy campaign uses intimate images to convey the message that knowing your HIV status is an important part of a healthy sex life and a good relationship.

This is part of the province’s Seek and Treat for Optimal Prevention of HIV/AIDS (STOP HIV/AIDS) program, which aims to reduce HIV transmission and improve the health outcomes of those living with HIV by offering widespread testing, treatment and early engagement into care.

In B.C., it is estimated that approximately 3,500 people are unaware they are living with HIV. The campaign sets out to change this.

“Expanding HIV testing and treatment has proven to be the best way forward to fight HIV and AIDS,” said Dr. Perry Kendall, provincial health officer for B.C. “Innovative testing campaigns like this will help ensure we reach as many people as possible and engage them in the care they need.”

Kelowna’s retired mayor says farewell to business community The Kelowna business community bid a fond

farewell to outgoing mayor Walter Gray on

Friday, marking his last day in office by not only

having him address the city’s chamber of

commerce one last time as mayor, but also by

What Are You Waiting For? I am sure you have heard the phrase: “What are you waiting for?” I have heard it used in two different ways, as a challenge and as a question.

Perhaps you have heard a friend make this confession: “I have let myself go. I have eaten too much, not exercised and slept too little.

If I continue down this road I will inevitably get high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol, and all of the health complications associated with these conditions. I must, therefore, eat a healthier diet, sleep more and get a healthy dose of regular exercise.

Your response to their confessions and declarations: “Well….what are you waiting for?” By this response you are issuing a challenge: “What is stopping you from making those changes? Just do it! Start making the changes you want to make today! The longer you wait, the more difficult it will be to start and make the changes you know that you have to make.”

However, the same phrase can also ask a very important question. This same question asks a person to reveal a dream or a promise that he or she is holding onto and hopes will be fulfilled.

Perhaps you have heard a career man or woman reveal this dream. “I am waiting for my big break. I am waiting for the project to come along that is going to reveal my true potential.

I believe with all my heart, mind and strength that my life-changing project, and my wealthy and influential client are out there and that our paths are meant to cross; and when our paths cross, both of us will know it. I have what it takes! I have all the abilities necessary for success and my abilities will be revealed when the ribbon is cut on the big project. When that project comes it will change everything for me, and my projects and clients will get bigger and bigger.” They wait in confident expectation, with hope that the breakthrough client and project will come.

What are you waiting for? I can tell you what I am waiting for. I am waiting for an earthshaking event to occur. The event will be like nothing we have seen or experienced before in the history of humanity. It will be an event to bring about an end to many things, and the beginning of many things; things that have plagued humankind from the beginning will be brought to an end. I believe that all war will cease; hunger and disease will be wiped out; natural disasters will cease; enmity between people will be wiped out; there will be no more lying, cheating, stealing, fighting, anger, and there will be no depression or despair. I believe that all creation will be made new; innocence will be restored; true love will reign; and there will be peace. The Prophet Isaiah described it this way.

“The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little

child will lead them. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the cobra’s den, and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” (Isaiah 11:6-9) Isaiah also promised that our cruelest enemy will be destroyed: On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; he will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove his people’s disgrace from all the earth. The Lord has spoken. In that day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the Lord, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.” (Isaiah 25:7-9).

The Prophet Isaiah declared that these transformations would be brought about

by God’s Messiah, or Anointed King. His conception and birth were to be miraculous.

“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel,” [Which means, God with us] (Isaiah 7:14). The Messiah would govern his people as a divine ruler for ever.

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.

And he will be called, “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end.” (Isaiah 9:6-7) Isaiah declared that the Messiah would save people from their sins by his innocent suffering and death, and would then open the doors to eternal life by his glorious resurrection. “Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand. After he has suffered, he will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities. Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.” (Isaiah 53:10-12) We believe, trust and confess that Jesus was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, and was made one hundred percent true man, and one hundred percent divine. We believe that Jesus lived a perfect sinless life and revealed his divinity through his miracles and teaching.

We believe that Jesus was falsely convicted of an offense against God and the Roman state.

We believe that he was crucified, suffered, died and was buried. We believe that on the third day he rose from the dead. We believe that

Jesus ascended into heaven and reigns over the world with God. Jesus promised to return and bring an end to this time in human history and to establish his everlasting kingdom.

How can dead people be brought back to life and then live eternally? How can all creation be made new in a twinkling of an eye? Science declares that our universe is billions of years old and that life on our planet evolved over millions of years! For many, these words seem impossible to believe. Yet, the Holy Christian Church waits in confident expectation, with hope, that Jesus Christ will be revealed in all of his glory at the end of human history.

Why? It certainly is not by our own efforts or understanding. We all live in the same world and have access to the same information. God does not expect you to believe these things by your own effort or strength. God spoke these words through the Prophet Isaiah: As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. (Isaiah 55:10-11) The purpose of God’s word is to create something new in you: faith and trust. God’s most passionate desire is that you believe and trust that He created you and that his Son Jesus Christ saved you from your own sin, from your death and the power of the Devil over you, and that the Holy Spirit will work faith in you and guide you, through this life and into the next. God invites you to take the risk and go to a church near you, listen to His Word so that a seed can be sown and watered in you, and then let God do the rest. God wants this for you. So…What are you waiting for?

In Christ, Pastor Ed We meet every Sunday morning for worship at 9:00AM and 10:30AM (Sunday School at 10:45AM). From December 7 through 21st, we observe the season of Advent, and Jesus’ second Advent--what we are waiting for.

presenting a short video tribute of the man who has led the city for 12 of the last 18 years.

“I’ll miss being part of the action. But I have no regrets,” said Gray about his decision not to seek re-election in the recent municipal vote.

That election saw one of Gray’s councillors, Colin Basran, elected to succeed him in the mayor’s chair.

The video tribute, which opened with praise for Gray from Premier Christy Clark, included memories of Gray from two veteran councillors who also decided not to run for re-election this year, Robert Hobson and Andre Blanleil, as well as federal MP Ron Cannan, and local MLAs and B.C. cabinet ministers Norm Letnick and Steve Thomson, as well a regional economic development officer Robert Fine.

In her opening remarks in the video tribute, Clark noted the changes that have occurred in the city since Gray was first elected to council as a then alderman, in 1986 and then as mayor for the first time in 1996.

“But one thing that never changed was you never stopped working to make Kelowna a better place to live,” said the premier.

Gray served a total of 16 years on council—12 of those as mayor. In 2005 he lost the job to former city councillor Sharon Shepherd, and did not run in 2008 when Shepherd was re-elected.

However, Gray came back to defeat her in a very close vote in 2011.

In his remarks Friday, Gray dwelled mainly on the last three years, praising the eight other members of his council for their ability to work together to get things done for the city.

“The real secret was undisputed chemistry,

respect, honesty and trust among the council members,” said Gray.

“Courage to do great things was the result.”

He said the council also saw what he did— the importance of partnerships with senior levels of government to get things done because they have the money.

“Every time you only have to pay 33 cents on the dollar (when twothirds of the funding for a project is coming from the province and federal governments) it’s a good day at city hall.”

Saying he took a page from former B.C. Premier Bill Bennett, a who represented Kelowna as an MLA in the B.C. Legislature until the mid1980s, Gray decided it was time for new leadership at city hall and that’s why he did not seek re-election.

“I didn’t want to die in office,” quipped the 76-year-old, known for his off-the-cuff and often unpredictable remarks.

The out-going mayor said, in addition to his new job chairing the ICBC board, he wants to spend more time with family and will start with two separate vacations he has planned for early in the new year.

But that’s not all.

He said he wants to play more golf, put together a pilot for a TV series and write a book.

The book would be a compilation of what he called “little political stories” that he has either been a party to or witnessed during his political career. It is to be titled 101 Ways To Cook A Rubber Chicken.

During his thanks to the mayor, Cannan quipped he thought the book should be titled 101 Shades of Gray.

While that got a laugh, the mayor was quick with retort of his own.

“That’ll be the second book.”

Employees need to be ignited to a highly focused level of performance for this process to succeed.

The dictionary definition of the term “buy in” relates to the elements of considerable risk and initiative.

Profitable risk-taking is not a culture that is familiar, comfortable or even considered normal to many organization participants or company employees.

But the time has clearly come now to accept the need for this new challenge, even if to be “self-responsible” may be somewhat contrary to the low job risk associated with working for a larger company.

Still, change can’t happen just because it is declared or mandated.

throughout our nation and the world, it still means different things to different people which can be confusing.

Many of us still associate social entrepreneurship exclusively with non-profit organizations starting forprofit income ventures..

Others use it to describe anyone who starts a non-profit organization, or use the term to describe small business owners who integrate their social responsibility into their company operations.

So what does social entrepreneurship really mean and what does it take to be a social entrepreneur?

Historically, the literature tells us that an entrepreneur is someone who undertakes a significant project or activity and creates value from that action— i.e. shifting economic resources to a higher benefit.

My favourite definition is “the innovative, dynamic process of creating incremental wealth,” the benchmarks being that of innovation and creativity.

Hence, it is true that many of the entrepreneurs serve their function by creating new,

are often viewed as inefficient, ineffective and unresponsive.

The language of social entrepreneurship may be new to our ears, but the phenomenon is not.

We have always had those dedicated committed individuals in our midst, originally blessed with creating many of the institutions we now take for granted.

However, the new name and the new game is truly important in that in implies a blurring of sector boundaries.

This adjustment excites an entrepreneurial zealot like myself, as social entrepreneurship can include social purpose business ventures, and hybrid organizations that mix non-profit and for-profit elements such as homeless shelters that start businesses to train and employ their residents.

So the image of where entrepreneurship can mean more than just economics, where it can contribute to the change in peoples lives while helping those in need… you’ve gotta love it, folks.

While the idea of social entrepreneurship is gaining popularity

Entrepreneurial Spirit JOEL YOUNG and assist members of any organization— public, corporate or nonprofit—to accept the invitation for personal change and growth and move through their fears and reticent mind set is inevitable.

I offer this preamble about personal and societal change magic as an introduction for further thought about a very important and rising concept—social entrepreneurship.

That phrase is well suited to our times, the element of how the entrepreneurial spirit contributes to not only our change in terms of personal growth but also how it combines the passion of a social mission with an image of the business-like discipline.

The time is certainly ripe for entrepreneurial approaches to our social problems.

Many feel any governmental and philanthropic efforts appear to have fallen short of our expectations.

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.

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.

I tell them about the tennis elbow and shoulder tendonitis I had, both of which nearly caused me to shut down my practice. I talk about the multitude of therapies I tried to no avail. Then I talk about Shockwave

innovative profit-seeking ventures.

But guess what, starting a business D is not the essence of entrepreneurship.

Author Peter Drucker, the perceived godfather of business management literature, creates a new height of definition, saying that “the entrepreneur always searches for change, responds to it and exploits it as an opportunity.“ In today’s world of entrepreneurship, the notion of “opportunity” has come to be central to the multitude of definitions of entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurs have a beautiful adapted mindset that sees the possibilities rather than the problems created by change.

To Drucker, launching a new venture is neither necessary nor sufficient to fit the ideals of entrepreneurship.

But the entrepreneurial mindset can be manifested anywhere in a world where the various sector boundaries are blurring. This is a wonderful advantage.

So we should choose to build our understanding of social entrepreneurship to the definition of change agents.

Social entrepreneurs are a singular species in the broad spectrum of entrepreneurship, simply entrepreneurs with a social mission.

Mission-related impact becomes their central criterion, not wealth creation.

So, when we decide to embrace the concept of entrepreneurs as change agents, let us please not ignore the breadth and scope of their entrepreneurial spirit.

Verico Compass Mortgage Group Private Mortgage: How do they work and when are they useful?

As traditional Banks and Mortgage Lenders continue to tighten up their lending policies, there is an increasing need for “private mortgages” in the market place. Private Mortgage come in the form of “pooled investment funds” managed Mortgage Investment Corporation or sometimes wealthy individuals looking to invest place their money in a private mortgage. Typically, private mortgages are used for borrowers who come with more risk. So for example, newly self-employed without history of income or borrowers with badly bruised credit. The single most important factor when it comes to qualifying for a Private Mortgage is a strong down payment when purchasing or significant equity available when refinancing. These Private Lenders need to know that you also have a substantial investment so that you are less likely to default on the loan. Typically, you would need a minimum 25% stake in the property by way of down payment or existing equity in order to proceed. So for example, if you wanted to refinance your home worth $500,000, you would only be able to get a mortgage based on 75% of that value ($375,000). Rate is usually based on risk, but as a general rule, you would expect around 5-7% for a 1st mortgage and 12-15% for a second mortgage.

Should you have any questions or require more information about private mortgages, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Here is just a few examples of the benefits of using marijuana medicinally.

• National Eye Institute: “Studies in the early 1970s showed that marijuana, when smoked, lowered intraocular pressure (IOP) in people with normal pressure and those with glaucoma.” These effects of the drug may slow the progression of the disease, preventing blindness.

• CBD may help prevent cancer from spreading, researchers at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco reported in 2007.

• Marijuana may be able to slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, a study led by Kim Janda of the Scripps Research Institute suggests.

• Marijuana may ease painful symptoms of multiple sclerosis, a study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal in May suggests.

• A study published in the American Journal Of Medicine on April 15 (The Impact of Marijuana Use on Glucose, Insulin, and Insulin Resistance among US Adults) suggested that pot smokers are skinnier than the average person and have healthier metabolism and reaction to sugars, even though they do end up eating more calories because of the munchies.

• Recent research from Israel (“Medical marijuana (cannabis) treatment for motor and non-motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease. An open-label observational study” MDS 2013), shows that smoking marijuana significantly reduces pain and tremors and improves sleep for Parkinson’s disease patients. Particularly impressive was the improved fine motor skills among patients.

Q

We have the carpets in our living areas cleaned on a regular basis but not the bedrooms as they get less use. How often should we be cleaning our bedroom carpets?

A

I find it a little surprising that most people consider the bedroom carpet a low use area when they spend an average of 8 hours of every day in them. The truth is a bedroom that is used on a regular basis should have the carpet cleaned at least once a year with Oxy-Dry to remove as much dust and contaminants as possible. Every 6 months all the furniture, including the bed and dressers should be moved.

These areas should be thoroughly vacuumed and the walls washed clean. The amount of dust that collects and contributes to health issues can be considerable. I recently posted a video on Youtube under the heading Oxy-Dry Max-Vac System, showing the recovery tank after vacuuming one 12x14 bedroom. A surprising amount was removed from deep in the carpet. Have your bedroom carpets cleaned regularly by Oxy-Dry and breathe clean air!

Q: A:

Where should I get my mortgage insurance?

There are several advantages to purchasing your mortgage insurance from an independent insurance broker.

Many lending institutions will offer you coverage during the lending transaction.

Understand that when you purchase insurance in this fashion, the lending institution is usually the first beneficiary. In other words, you are paying for insurance to make sure the institution gets their money back.

Purchasing from an insurance agent allows you to designate family members or whoever you like as the beneficiaries. They can then best decide how to spend the money, whether that be paying off mortgages, loans, credit cards, etc.

Also, many institutions offer declining coverage. In layman’s terms: the insurance will only cover the amount remaining on the mortgage even though your premiums stay level. Purchasing from an agent can ensure that the amount of insurance never ever declines, and in some cases even increases.

Finally, an independent broker often represents many insurance companies; they can shop the field to find you the best rates out there. Contact Gary to find out more.

Mortgage co-signers and guarantors

Accessories are a fantastic way to add character to a room in your home at a low cost.

CONTRIBUTED

Keep your home sensational at a low cost Like fashion trends in clothing, the latest décor trends are a great way to liven up and personalize a home.

Be aware, however, that while adding a selection of seasonal trends can be a great way to update a space, it can also be the fastest way to date it as well—not to mention create a hefty dent in your wallet.

Glen Peloso and Jamie Alexander, of Peloso Alexander Interiors, say they have seen their share of trends come and go, and know first-hand that just a little colour and even the tiniest of budgets can go a long way.

“Every season we see homeowners looking for what’s new and hot in

reno ideas. Everything from how to open up a space to new flooring materials, as well as the hottest paint colour and eco-friendly products,” said Pelus.

Peloso and Alexander recommend checking out home shows because they offer a one-stop solution for homeowners looking to refresh their space.

“What we love most… is that attendees soon realize by visiting the exhibitors and asking those experts a few questions, they can make big changes on a small budget,” Alexander said.

Below are some tried and tested

tips to freshen up a space without breaking the bank: 1. Define the space: A room’s purpose drives everything (i.e. a cozy guest room or a living room that sparks conversation). Defining the room’s main purpose will help to set the parameters for the design and help to determine budget.

2. Be selective about which pieces to invest in: The couch, or a dining table and chairs, are important for anchoring the room. Invest in the larger staple items by selecting quality pieces in a neutral palette. The rest of the room can then be planned around these essentials.

3. Don’t be afraid of colour: An inexpensive way to give any space a major overhaul is to paint or wallpaper one feature wall. Add an extra pop by introducing accent colours in accessories such as pillows, or vases in seasonal shades to personalize a space.

4. Accessorize galore: Accessories are a fantastic way to add character into a space at a low cost. Colourful throw pillows, vases, and lamps, for example, add a refreshing new style without a long term commitment. They can also be easily switched up each season.

Replace that old wood burning stove Here’s a chance for you to upgrade your old wood burning appliance to a cleaner burning unit and save some money.

While funds last, the Regional Air Quality program’s Wood Stove Exchange is offering rebates of $250 when

customers purchase a new, cleaner burning EPA/CSA certified woodstove, and recycle their old, polluting wood burning appliance.

Participating Central Okanagan retailers will take care of recycling your old stove and provide all the

necessary paperwork for the rebates.

In addition to the $250 rebate, during March and April participating retailers may offer an additional rebate of $150 or more off the suggested retail price of new wood burning

appliances. Some retailers may extend the additional rebates for the entire year, so be sure to check with your local retailer for more information.

For those wanting to exchange their old wood burning stove or insert for

a gas appliance, Fortis BC is offering an additional $300 rebate for eligible EnerChoice gas fireplaces.

So what does it mean to have a guarantor or co-signer on a mortgage? Either will help to secure the financing to purchase or refinance a home.

But while people often use the terms guarantor and co-signer interchangeably, each has very different responsibilities and rights. A guarantor or co-signer will be required if the applicant is not able to obtain a mortgage approval independently—usually due to poor credit, inadequate down payment, insufficient employment history or questionable income. Most mortgages will be approved if there is someone to back the borrower should he/she have any trouble making the payment.

A co-signer is basically a co-owner being registered on title and equally accountable for the payments although it is commonly known that he/she will not make the payments.

Co-signers are typically used when you need to support the income of the mortgage applicant.

As a co-applicant, the co-signer will go through the typical application procedure which involves a credit check and disclosing all assets and liabilities as well as employment information. They are required to sign all of the mortgage documents and can expect to remain on title until such time as the applicant qualifies for the mortgage on the own. A co-signer is a co-owner.

A guarantor personally guarantees the payments will be made if the original applicant defaults. The guarantor has no claim to the property because he/she is not on title but as guarantor he/she does sign the mortgage documents.

A guarantor has to be stronger financially than a co-signer because he promises to carry the entire debt should the homeowner default.

During the application process they will undergo a credit check and must disclose assets, liabilities and income. It is a huge responsibility as the guarantor has fewer rights than a co-signer. While their obligation is the same as a co-signer, a guarantor doesn’t have any legal claim to the property. If the homeowner defaults on the payments and the situation deteriorates to the point that the homeowner can’t meet his/her obligations, the home will usually be sold and the guarantor will be responsible for the missed payments as well as any loss associated with the sale.

Most lenders will offer early release policies that free the guarantor from obligation (usually after 12 months) if the borrower is current with payments and has established good credit or employment history.

New woodstove Christmas tree will save money tradition carries from page B1

homeowners have taken advantage of the rebate program and exchanged their old stoves for cleaner burning models.

Smoke from wood burning produces particulate matter, one of the main pollutants that leads to poor air quality and can have serious health impacts.

It’s estimated over 12,000 valley homes are still equipped with inefficient conventional wood stoves or masonry fireplaces, adding a lot of smoke pollution.

Regional Air Quality Program coordinator Nancy Mora Castro says, “Smoke from inefficient wood fireplaces

and stoves contributes to poor air quality throughout the Central Okanagan.

“By replacing old wood burning appliances with newer, cleaner-burning certified technology homeowners can use up to one-third less wood and reduce smoke by up to 90 per cent.

“That will help us all breathe a little easier.”

To take part in the program, visit one of the participating retailers in the Regional District of Central Okanagan, or contact the Regional Air Quality Program for more information. A list of participating retailers can be found at regionaldistrict.com/ airquality.

The annual tradition of searching for the best Christmas tree possible has begun again.

This time of year always reminds me of the years of selling literally thousands of Christmas trees at our family garden centre we operated on Ethel Street from 1922 to 1997.

In the early days, my dad would sell a few each year that he purchased from his nephew Murray Haworth.

These were cut from the natural forest on his ranch near Vernon and mostly Douglas fir.

It was normal to have one of these in our home. As a child, I remember dad and mom setting up the tree a few days prior to the big day and taking it down soon after.

In those days we didn’t have

available the myriad of tree stands available today, most of which hold adequate water to keep the tree relatively happy for a longer period of time. In fact we didn’t use any water at all.

Dad would attach the base of the tree to a wooded mandarin orange crate then secure it at the top with a string to a hook in the ceiling.

The hook was a permanent fixture and it would often remind me of Christmas when I glanced at it even in the middle of summer.

Our Christmas tree business eventually evolved into a season of selling several varieties we purchased from places like the Kootenays, Fraser Valley and sometimes from the U.S. Some of you may remember our “Snow Flocked” trees in all sorts of different colours.

Today, not only can you get tree stands in all shapes and sizes, but you can have your choice of several species of Christmas trees in many styles and prices.

Where else can you pick out a tree while it is still growing in the ground, have it cut, cleaned and wrapped right before your eyes and then stop for a great cup of hot chocolate while sitting around a warm camp fire.

The selection is incredible including species such as Douglas fir, Nordman fir, Grand fir, Noble fir, Fraser fir and my absolute favourite the Concolor fir.

To find the farm, once you turn onto MacKenzie Road in Rutland, follow the signs to 1705 Swainson Rd. For more information such as hours of operation go to his website

The Okanagan Fruit Tree Project and OGO Car Share Co-op have come together to discover a beneficial partnership.

“We feel extremely fortunate at the Okanagan Fruit Tree Project to have the opportunity to be a member of the OGO carshare,” said Casey Hamilton, president and founder of the Okanagan Fruit Tree Project (OFTP).

Having access to the OGO truck enabled the OFTP to pick and deliver more than twice the amount of apples then if they were only using their usual vehicles making a significant contribution to redistributing produce that would otherwise go to waste.

The OGO truck helped them with their picks and they only paid for accessing the truck when needed without the associated costs around car ownership, helping Okangan Fruit Tree Project to reduce their transportation costs and have more disposable funding available to be put towards other important operating costs.

Physiotherapists can help cure jaw joint displacement Vince Cunanan Contributor

Did you wake up this morning with acute facial pain and inability to open your mouth?

When you think to yesterday, you remember taking a big bite from an apple and experienced a sharp pain in your jaw joint. Today, you can’t really open or fully close your mouth.

That unexplained clicking in your jaw that you’ve had for two years has suddenly gone away.

Now, there’s just facial tenderness in front of your ear and you’re worried that you can’t eat.

If you experience this, you likely have a “locked jaw,” more formerly referred to as Acute Disc Displacement.

This is one of the common disorders of the Temporomandibular Joint, more known as the TMJ. The TMJ is the ball and socket joint that connects the Mandible (jaw bone) and the Temporal bone (one of the bones of your skull). It’s the small joint located in front of your ear.

There is a cartilage cushion in between the ball and socket, referred to as the disc.

The disc is supported by special ligaments, which keep the disc in place. Movement problems of the disc

can be responsible for creating many symptoms in the TMJ, such as clicking, crepitations, locking, muscle spasm, and pain.

TMJ Disorder/ Dysfunction, or TMJD/ TMD, is seen more commonly in women than men.

There is a 3:1 incidence in females to males, and can include one or both jaw joints. In most instances, the dysfunction is a result of an imbalance or change in the normal function of the bones, ligaments, muscles, disc, or nerve components of the TMJ complex.

Disc Displacement is a mechanical problem that occurs when the disc ends up in the wrong position within the ball and socket.

In this case, it is likely that the disc has become displaced due to the wide opening, creating increased stress and strain on the ligaments, resulting in pain around the joint and spasm in the facial muscles.

There is also a longstanding history of unexplained clicking in the joint, which may be a pre-disposing factor to this problem.

In essence, the disc needs to be properly re-educated to find its normal resting position again, and the mechanics restored to the muscles and joint.

Specialized physical therapy care would assist in restoration of disc position, to restore movement and function, as well as normalize the pain.

Dysfunction in these tiny joints can have many causes. These can include trauma such as blow to the head, whiplash, falls, sports injuries, arthritis, dental occlusion, dentures, history of joint noises, stress (clenching, grinding), poor habits (posture, physical, oral), and many others.

Signs and symptoms may include facial pain, headache, neck pain, ear pain, sudden changes in bite, tooth pain, ringing in the ears, shoulder pain, and facial tingling or numbness.

A physical therapist can help you understand and manage your TMJ dysfunction. Often it is obvious that the TMJ is the cause of symptoms you experience.

However, for many people, the symptoms they experience can be widespread, and may not

make it so obvious.

As mechanics for the human body, physical therapists can properly assess, diagnose, and treat the TMJ and most of the possible influences.

We provide a specialized hands-on approach to treatment, education, and exercise program. Treatment may also include other muscle re-education techniques such as Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS).

In many instances, we often work with your oral practitioner

(dentist, orthodontist, oral surgeon) to ensure the best outcome possible for your TMJ. Treatment can be very effective in a short period of time. A self-applied approach with a little guidance from specialized physical therapy practitioners will help with long-term benefits.

Acute Disc Displacement is only one of several diagnoses of TMJ dysfunction. Keep connected to read about other problems that these tiny joints can give you,

but don’t stop eating apples…

For more information on TMJ, Sun City Physiotherapy will host a free informational lecture on Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2015, 6:30 p.m. Please call 250-861-8056 to reserve a seat.

Vince Cunanan is a registered physiotherapist and associate at Sun City Physiotherapy’s Downtown Kelowna and Glenmore clinics. He can be contacted at info@suncityphysiotherapy.com.

MENTAL HEALTH

A mother’s presence impacts infants’ brains If you’ve spent any time with small children, you probably know the mystical quality of a mother’s comfort.

From earliest infancy, it is obvious the mother’s touch is unrivaled in its ability to soothe and most toddlers seem to truly believe a kiss or snuggle from mom will make a scraped knee feel better.

New research in rats is finding there is more than folklore and loving feelings behind the effectiveness of a mother’s presence—and the implications could benefit pain management for human infants.

The study out of NYU Langone Medical Center found a mother’s TLC is helpful for soothing pain in infants and may also impact early brain development by altering

Healing Minds PAUL LATIMER gene activity in a part of the brain involved with emotions.

In this study, researchers analyzed which genes were active in infant rat bfrains when the mother was present or not—and they found several hundred genes were more or less active in rat infants experiencing pain than rats not in pain.

When mothers were present, fewer than 100 genes were similarly expressed.

This is the first study to show the short-term effects of maternal care in a distressed infant rat’s

brain.

It was also designed to support earlier research by the same group into the long-term consequences of differences in how mammals are nurtured from birth.

Now obviously there is a difference between an infant rat and an infant human.

Much research will still need to be done before we can say whether findings in this study can be translated to our own species.

Still, even with rats, we share more similarities than differences and this is a good starting point.

This study does show that a mother comforting her infant does more than simply elicit a behavioural response but actually modifies brain circuitry.

When a human infant is in pain due to medical intervention, sickness or injury—we always want to do what we can to reduce suffering.

Unfortunately, opiate pain medications are often contraindicated for children because of their addictive properties. We are left with a significant challenge as to how we can best manage pain.

If maternal presence, cuddling, scent or other cues can help, it is beneficial to learn how and why this works.

I think this study will also shed more light on the ways in which parental nurture truly does affect brain development.

This will not only be important in pain research, but likely also in mental health as we know childhood adversity or lack of nurture can have negative long term impact.

It will be interesting to see where this research leads.

news _____________________________________________________________________ Twenty years ago, a small conservation group formed to assist people who wanted advice and help to protect natural habitat areas on their land.

Two decades later, the Okanagan Similkameen Stewardship Society (OSSS) is going strong, having assisted hundreds of people and partnered with more than 40 landowners in managing 1,100 acres of wildlife habitat.

OSSS’s mandate is to work with land owners who have valuable wildlife habitat on their properties to help them protect and restoration these areas.

The OSSS has been asked to expand their work and offer their services to people in the central and

north Okanagan regions.

OSSS can provide information on native habitat restoration, wildlife conflicts and managing invasive weeds, as well as how to protect sensitive areas like wetlands and attract animals like owls or bats.

The first step in the process is a site visit and conversation with the landowners about their goals.

Information that is shared with the stewardship organization about the habitat and wildlife that may occur is strictly confidential.

Stewardship organizations receive funding from agencies such as Environment Canada and the B.C. Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation. In many cases, OSSS can provide planning assistance,

labour and help with the costs of habitat restoration.

If interested, land owners can enter into a voluntary partnership short-term agreement describing natural areas on the property and the intention to protect them for local wildlife.

These agreements that do not affect the land title and are not enforceable against future landowners.

If you are a landowner interested in protecting wildlife habitat on your land, contact Alyson Skinner, executive director of Okanagan Similkameen Stewardship, at 250-809-1980 or email okanaganstewardship@gmail.com.

Seniors GRIEVING LOSS OF A PARENT

The journey to reconnect with the joy of living A month has passed since the death of my mother. Having now lost our second parent, my three sisters and I are feeling the need to form a different circle together.

Mom held a powerful energy her whole life that somehow structured a protective moat around each of us, as well as aimed our individual purposes forward like an arrow from the bow to the target.

We never quite knew how she did it, but we were all very aware of its force.

As we grieve, the power of our relationships

Seniors’ Concerns MARJORIE HORNE together not only eases the loss, it provides a conduit for a reflective, healing time in which to share our process and learn from each other where our fears lie.

We support each other in taking steps to overcome them so that we can move forward with greater clarity and passion.

In the six months

before Mom died, we had ladybugs begin to enter our lives.

It started with one of Mom’s private caregivers bringing a set of three ladybug magnets to my home and placing them in the kitchen attached to a wall. Not long after, my Mom started telling me about three ladybugs that were up on the ceiling of her room and asked me if I could see them.

I wasn’t sure how to reply, as Mom had been completely blind for the past four months, I said,

“Yes Mom, I see them.

Quite a little family aren’t they.”

They seemed to be giving her such great comfort I thought I would just go along with it. Not to mention, she looked up at the ceiling so intently I really came to believe she actually did see them.

We all began becoming friends with the ladybugs: daughters, son-inlaws, grandchildren and caregivers, asking her daily if they were there.

The few days before Mom died and since, many of us have had real ladybugs landing on our clothes and showing up in strange places, staying with us for awhile and then disappearing.

I wrote a poem for Mom’s funeral that

demanded a rewrite to include a reference to the ladybugs in the last verse.

My sister finally decided last week to look up the meaning of ladybugs and to her surprise found out some wonderful insight into this animal totem that others have also experienced with a mother’s death. Well, who knew!

I share this because, I know that as you experience the separation of a cherished loved one by death, the wonder of coming to understand that we are not just physical bodies is available for you to grasp more easily.

It happened for me when my father died and again as Mom has physically left us, but not spiritually. Your

tender emotions at this time open a door to experiences you might otherwise not allow to enter into your life.

Participating in this precious time fully, even though it is difficult, allows you to receive this gift if you are a little bit willing.

The ladybug is a member of the beetle family. Their life cycle requires about four weeks, so several generations are produced over the summer and fall seasons.

This cycle ties the ladybug to the energies of renewal and regeneration.

Those who have this totem are usually family oriented with strong morals and social values.

The name ladybug

finds its origins in the middle ages when this beetle was dedicated to the Virgin Mary and called the “beetle of our lady.”

It holds a link to mothers. Because the life cycle of the adult ladybug is so short, it teaches us how to release worries and enjoy our lives to the fullest.

When it appears in our life, it is telling us to “let go and let God.” This is quite amazing, as I had felt many times over the year that Mom lived with us how this was the learning available to me for making the sudden decision to bring her to our home.

Unlike other beetles, the ladybug brings a feeling of joy to us.

Education is a global Culinary scholarship is gravy for cooking student experience for McKay

Dayna Duckworth-Dolan receives her B.C. Hospitality Foundation scholarship from Okanagan College’s Chef Bernard Casavant (left) and Chef Geoffrey Couper. as a fully registered delegate to the CONNECT Food+Drink+Lodging Show in Vancouver last month, which included an industry breakfast where the awards were presented.

Casavant, who is

the college’s culinary manager, says he had the pleasure of watching Duckworth-Dolan in action at a Fall Wine Festival event held at the OC Kelowna campus where her professionalism and enthusiasm

we want to encourage and inspire the next generation of leaders in our industry. “ Duckworth-Dolan was taking a management program at another institution when she decided to explore something that had always been of great interest to her—a career in the culinary arts.

“This industry is fastpaced, ever-changing and has so many avenues you can explore. The chefinstructors at the college are incredible,” said Duckworth-Dolan.

“I’m only 24. I have a long, exciting career ahead of me in this industry. I know I want experience in a variety of settings, from small bistros to large hotels where you can cook for thousands.

“I really believe the spice of life is variety.”

shone. “She has poise, confidence and a desire to learn. She just has it.”

From DuckworthDolan’s perspective, the financial support is welcome, but more than that the scholarship communicates industry support and interest in her career choice.

“Having somebody else tell me that they value my efforts and career choice means a great deal. It’s an extra catalyst to tell me this was the right industry for me,” she said.

“That’s precisely what the scholarship program is all about,” added Alan Sacks, executive director of the B.C. Hospitality Foundation.

“Our primary mandate is to support members of the hospitality industry who face a financial crisis due to a medical condition.

“In addition, with our scholarship program,

Okanagan College Bachelor of Business Administration student Lauren McKay has received the Premier’s International Scholarship for Study Abroad from the Irving K. Barber British Columbia Scholarship Society. The Winfield resident is one of only 16 students in the province to receive the prestigious annual award.

McKay, who Lauren McKay received $10,000, is currently taking two semesters at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland in Olten, Switzerland, and all courses will count toward her business degree at Okanagan College. “I am so happy and honoured to receive the award,” said McKay. “Being in a new country and studying with people from different countries and cultures is such a wonderful experience, and will be so beneficial for my career in the future.”

“Engaging in the international exchange program is transformational for our students,” said Heather Banham, Dean of Okanagan College’s School of Business.

CONTRIBUTED

Okanagan College culinary arts student Dayna DuckworthDolan was more than a little surprised when she recently learned she had won one of the three $1,500 B.C. Hospitality Foundation Scholarships selected by the Chefs’ Table Society of British Columbia.

“Overwhelmed, excited, shocked and amazed” is the way the composed Professional Cook Level 2 student explains her reaction.

“I didn’t even know I had been nominated until a few days before when Chef Bernard (Casavant) let me know that I was among those being considered,” said Duckworth-Dolan.

It is the first time a culinary arts student from the Okanagan has been chosen to receive the scholarship, which also came with an opportunity to participate

FACTS Cats, when they are suffering from frostbite, will sit hunched up & they won’t lie down. also, when cats are very cold, they can’t eat. What you need to do is slowly warm the cat back up. Wrap it in a blanket or put it on a heating vent. Do not force it to eat or drink anything until it is warmed up, because that can make things much worse.

BLUNDELL, LESLIE WALTER

HOFF: ALICE MARGARET

Passed away peacefully in West Kelowna aged 84 years. Leslie is survived by his loving wife Gladys, son David, daughter-in-law Karen, grandchildren Charlie Dawn and David James-Dean, and cousins, Terri and Ted Atkins, Pat and Richard Jamnitzky, Iris Joyce, Julie& Sean Eveleigh, Lee & Joanne Atkins, and aunt, Ellen & Johnny Pope and their families in England. Phyllis and Jack Rozak and family, Marg Wolfe and family, Ralph Griggs and family, Gordon Griggs and family in Canada. Although Leslie came to Canada to raise his family, his heart has always remained in England, and his love of Fish & Chips and Pie & Mash, an East End favourite, a must when back in England. Although Leslie was an only child, he was raised with his cousins Terri, Pat & Iris who were like sisters to him and he loved as such. The memories he installed in our hearts will remain forever, his smile, laughter and passion for life. Leslie will be cremated and his ashes will be sent back home to England, where his final journey to a better place will begin. Thank you Dad, Grandfather, Nephew, Cousin and last but not least Friend.

Born in Springside Saskatchewan August 6, 1925 passed away at Kelowna General Hospital on Thursday, November 27, 2014 at 89 years of age.

Alice was predeceased by nine siblings, and is survived by one sister, Georgina Delgaty of Thunder Bay Ontario. Alice was also predeceased by Leslie Vernon Hartford, the father of her children, and her second husband of 16 years, Garvin Oliver Hoff. Alice is survived by son Perry Hartford (Darlene) of Peachland B.C. and daughter Gay Skea (Jack) of Spruce Grove Alberta. Alice was proud of her six grandchildren Frank Skea (Shelley), Bill Skea (Shara), Teresa Skea (Rob) of Alberta, and Deanne Winkler (Karl), Kari Eytcheson (Chris), Lisa Poier (Marc) of B.C. and 18 great-grandchildren. Alice resided in Westbank, B.C. for 20 years. There will be no service per Alice’s request. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Interior Heart and Surgical Centre. Please make donations payable to Kelowna General Hospital, 2268 Pandosy Street, Kelowna, B.C. V1Y1T2. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.firstmemorialfuneralkelowna.com.
