Journey to find a new home

returning to Canada, they have tried to encourage Marwa to leave Aleppo but she wanted to stay, believing that the war would eventually end.

“While most other Syrians who we knew have left or escaped to refugee camps across the border, Marwa has remained in the hope that life will improve,” Wendy said.

“Unfortunately, it has now reached a crisis point where she simply could not continue. While the city has crumpled around her, her own apartment, until recently had received only small amounts of damage. But recently, it has been hit by shells and life has become unbearable.”

It was originally their hope that Marwa would be permitted to come to Canada as a visitor for six months, giving a chance for the fighting to subside. But she was twice denied a visitor’s visa to Canada.

“Originally she was reluctant to leave Syria as a refugee as it would have meant abandoning her home country and spending perhaps years in a refugee camp while she

awaited the processing of her application,” Wendy explained.

Last summer, as the war became more unbearable, Marwa’s husband Bader left Aleppo in an attempt to reach Finland, hoping that once established there he could gain approval for the rest of his family to join him.

His journey was stopped short in Germany, where he now has refugee status and has applied for permission for Marwa and his sons to join him there.

Marwa has an appointment scheduled July 10 in Beirut at the German Embassy, which will be followed by a three month waiting period for what Wendy hopes is final approval to see the family reunited.

“Marwa had hoped to remain in her home until final approval was attained but life has become impossible in Aleppa. The army now occupies her building, her balcony has been blown off, all windows are broken and they fear for their lives,” Wendy said.

So Marwa and her sons embarked on the

gums around his teeth.

“We talked a lot about the foods that they need and are now available.

The boys ate so much… making up for lost time,” she said after the family arrived in Istanbul.

Jim and Wendy met Marwa Saffaf in 2001 when the couple worked at ICARDA International School of Aleppo.

Marwa was an assistant in the library and Wendy was the teacher-librarian while Jim was the high school principal.

The couple left Aleppo in 2004 and at that time Marwa also left the school to begin working as a teacher at her family’s kindergarten.

Since their departure, Marwa had gotten married and they have three young boys— Mutaz, Adam and Yusuf (ages 7, 6 and 3).

“During our time in Syria, life was good,”recalled Wendy.

“Marwa lived in a comfortable apartment and the city was a peaceful oasis.

“Our Syrian friends were immensely proud of their country and enjoyed their life. We loved our time there and still have many friends and contacts from that great experience.”

But life in Aleppo changed because of the civil war, leaving Marwa and her expanding family trying to live in a bombed out building, frightened to allow her children outside and without water, electricity or any means of support.

Wendy said since

The struggle for a Kelowna couple to find safe refuge for family friends stuck in wartorn Syria took a major step forward this week after enduring months of frustration.

Jim Scorgie and Wendy Porteous Scorgie have been working through the immigration bureauracy of various countries for more than two years to secure safe passage out of Syria for Marwa Saffaf, her husband and their three young boys, ranging in age from seven to three.

Their main objective was to get the family out of Syria, where they lived in the city of Aleppo, site for several months of some of the most intense fighting of the Syrian civil war.

But Wendy called that objective ‘mission accomplished’ on her Facebook page this week, saying while the family is split up at the moment, they are all safely out of Syria.

“We’ve left Marwa and the boys with a very tearful good-bye. It was ‘mission accomplished’ but they still need a lot more help,” wrote Wendy.

She said the youngsters are showing some of the effects of food shortage in Aleppo, where proper nutrition was secondary to just surviving day to day.

Wendy described one of the youngsters, Mutaz, as being quite thin and has dark circles around his eyes, while his brother Adam has black

harrowing journey from Aleppa to Beirut, a 20hour adventure through multiple checkpoints maintained by various political factions.

They survived the trip and flew to Istanbul, where they were met by Wendy and Jim to help them get set up in a furnished apartment.

Wendy said Marwa may be in Turkey for up to six months, with the apartment rental and food costs expected to be about $10,000, a cost Wendy and Jim hope to help off-set by collecting donations and other fundraisers here

in Kelowna to help out, something they have done dating back to 2013 when their story was first profiled in the Kelowna Capital News.

For now, Marwa has the July 10 meeting and Bader will arrive for a visit shortly thereafter and take the official documentation he requires back to Germany.

Then they wait for the immigration process to clear the way for their family reunion.

“The apartment is rented until the end of August so we are really hoping that it will be sooner,” Wendy said.

Bader can be away from his German lessons for up to two weeks. As a refugee in Germany, he is given a shared apartment and allowance.

The family will get an apartment and allowance and employment when their language reaches a certain level.

“We’re on our way home and feel relieved to know that Marwa, Mutaz, Adam and Yusuf are safe. But it will be a tough few months for them (in Turkey) as they adjust to a new culture and new language without Bader,” Wendy said.

B.C.’s environment minister may be extolling the virtues of the province’s latest response to the threat posed by zebra and quagga mussels, but the chairman of the Okanagan Basin Water Board remains unimpressed.

West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater said while B.C. has committed to spend $1.3 million over three years, has strengthened its defence against the mussels with the addition of three mobile decontamination units, six trained auxiliary conservation officers,

an expansion of its monitoring for mussels and is promoting its Clean, Drain, Dry education program for boat owners, it’s not enough.

“In Alberta they are spending $5 million per year, have 10 permanent inspection stations and five roving units,” said Findlater. “And they are getting results.”

Earlier this week, Environment Minister Mary Polak sent a column to the media in which she touted the province’s response to the threat of mussel contamination of B.C. lakes.

But the Okanagan Basin Water Board

has said the province needs to do a better job patrolling all five highway entrances from Alberta to B.C. in order to keep the mussels out. And it should have five mobile decontamination units, not three.

Findlater said the border with Washington State is already being patrolled by Canadian Border Services officers, one of whom detected quagga mussels on a boat entering B.C. last summer and stopped it.

In fact, both the province and the OBWB have praised the federal government for its response to the potential of a zebra and quagga

mussels contamination by drafting legislation to make it illegal under the Fisheries Act to transport the mussels.

Findlater did have some praise for the province for having personnel available to respond to warnings from other jurisdictions that boats suspected of carrying the mussels were on their way to B.C. So far no zebra or quagga mussels have been detected in B.C. waters and everyone here says they want to keep it that way.

The mussels can clog water intakes, damage propulsion systems on boats, litter beaches with sharp shells when they die and adversely affect aquatic life in lakes.

If the mussels were to get into Okanagan Lake, the estimated cost of dealing with them could run into the multimillions, said Findlater.

According to Polak local governments are being encouraged to join the fight to keep the mussels out. Locally, the OBWB has implemented an education program dubbed “Don’t Move A Mussel” to encourage boat owners to not only check their vessels but also have them decontaminated.

But Findlater fears the province could repeat its lack of action on Eurasian milfoil when it comes to zebra and quagga mussels, should they get into local lakes.

While the province used to help pay to remove milfoil from Okanagan Lake, it has not done so in years, leaving the work, and the funding, up to the water board which, in turn, gets its money from area municipalities, meaning local taxpayers foot the bill.

In the last 10 years, $15 million has been spent fighting Eurasian Milfoil, with no contributions from the Province of B.C.

School kids go fishing without skipping out Kevin Parnell

kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

There is nothing like fishing with your best friend.

And on Thursday at the Hall Lake kids fishing pond in East Kelowna, kids from several area elementary schools had the chance to do just that, thanks to a program called Get to Know and its Wild Festival for Youth.

Kids from area schools were bused to the Hall Road fishing pond and to Okanagan College to get tips on fishing, build birdhouses, learn about birds of prey and get an overall education on the great outdoors.

“The Get to Know Program has been inspiring connections between children and nature in the outdoors for over a decade,” explained Jenna Smith with Get to Know. “The festival is a time for school age youth from across the Okanagan to discover regional wildlife, explore trails and to get kids engaged with the

outdoors.”

At the Hall Road pond, kids were engaged with several activities, from nature hikes to fishing in the pond, stocked as a kids fishing pond by the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC. Friends Zoe and Angelina, Grade 4 students at Chute Lake Elementary, certainly were engaged with the fishing activity as they exchanged casts into the pond and waited for a nibble.

“It’s fun because I get to do it with my best friend,” said Zoe after looping a long cast into the middle of the pond, which was also ripe with swimming turtles. “It’s going to be cool if I catch a fish because I’ve only caught one other one before.”

Students were taught the basics of casting with the spin-casting rods by summer students with the Freshwater Fisheries Society, the group in charge of B.C.’s fish stocking programs.

15 (unless other restrictions are in place) the Stage 2 water restrictions are in effect, meaning outdoor watering is limited to two days each week.

RDCO water customers with even-numbered addresses can only water outdoors on Saturdays and Tuesdays, while those with

odd-number addresses can only water outside on Sundays and Wednesdays.

Under the Regional District Water Bylaw, customers with automated irrigation systems can only water on their allotted days between midnight and 6 a.m., while people with manual outdoor irrigation must restrict their watering to between 6 a.m. and 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. and midnight on their respective irrigation days.

The regional district is asking residents not to irrigate if not needed in order to conserve water.

Between June 16 and Sept. 16, Stage 1 watering restrictions are in place, allowing customers to water outdoors on alternating days.

Those with even-numbered addresses can irrigate on even

numbered calendar days and customers with odd-numbered addresses may water outdoors on odd number days during that time.

The regional district says by following the outdoor water use restrictions that are in effect all year round, residents can help ensure reservoirs are replenished and there’s an adequate water supply.

RDCO water systems provide service to almost 900 connections in the Killiney Beach, Westshore Estates, Falcon Ridge, Sunset Ranch, Upper Fintry-Shalal RoadValley of the Sun and Star Place areas.

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

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

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

DR. RYAN HARRIS

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

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

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

Glenmore Chiropractic

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

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

property owner did not receive a tax notice, he or she is still liable for the taxes owed and must pay by the deadline or face a penalty.

Current taxes that remain outstanding after July 2 will be subject to a five per cent late payment penalty. A second five per cent penalty is applied to outstanding taxes on Aug. 5.

Penalties are provincially legislated under the Community Charter and are not discretionary.

According to city hall, if you are paying your property taxes at your bank, bring your tax notice. And, if you apply for the provincial homeowner grant at the bank, make sure it accepts grant applications on the city’s behalf. If it does not, you can apply for your grant at kelowna. ca/propertytax or fill out and return the grant application located at the bottom of your tax notice

by July 2.

For those waiting until the last day to pay, remember Kelowna city hall will be closed for Canada Day (Wednesday, July 1) but deposit boxes are available 24/7 at the Water Street entrance to city hall and at the parking lot entrance on Doyle Avenue.

There is an additional drop box at the Parkinson Recreation Centre which is available during regular business hours.

Deposit boxes are emptied daily.

Earth Wind Fire set to raise money for wildlife preservation Sawyer Klassen sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com

On June 20, the Earth Wind Fire fundraiser will be raising money for The Nature Trust of British Columbia to complete its effort to preserve rare antelope brush in the South Okanagan.

Peaceful multi-faith refuge at KGH A new spiritual care space is coming to Kelowna General Hospital to provide an important refuge for staff, patients, and loved ones during times of grief, transition, and celebration.

With the ongoing construction and redevelopment of the hospital, many departments and programs have moved into new areas, creating an opportunity to replace the older, outdated chapel with a bright new space. It will be located on the first floor of the Centennial Building, set back from the hospital’s main lobby and admitting area to provide easy access while also providing peace and quiet.

“One of our goals is to create a space that is beneficial to all groups. And we feel that with the design of this space, we’ve done just that,” explains Derek Koch, spiritual health practitioner at KGH. The planning process included input from a multitude of faith leaders throughout the Okanagan, and involved collaboration with Interior Health’s aboriginal health team.

Communism victims get statue before First Nation children To the editor: After six years, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission has submitted its report.

It is clear from it that Canada can be accused of having committed “cultural genocide,” not to mention the thousands of deaths of children in the governmentfunded religious residential schools.

LETTER OF THE WEEK Families were destroyed, generations of aboriginals suffered from the after-effects. It was a state-sponsored program to eliminate the “Indian in the children.”

Surely, these facts, as collected in the volumes of the report, would make a government of conscience ponder what kind of memorials— similar to war memorials—should commemorate the victims of this program.

While the government’s stock response to any questions was

“we’ll study the report,” the Harper government is busy with spending untold funds to erect a “Mother Canada” statue in a National Park in Cape Breton and a similar memorial to victims of communism on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.

Apart from the fact that Mother Canada closely resembles the many “Mother Russia” statues found in cities of the former USSR, even in Kiev—and reminds one of a large-size wedding cake figure— it is emphatically opposed by Nova Scotians and many others in the National Park community.

Ottawa city council has voted against the anti-communist memorial next to the Supreme Court building.

One wonders what the rush by the Harper government is to build memorials to events which happened long ago on the other side of the Atlantic.

Agreed, there are Canadians whose families suffered greatly under communism—Hungarians, for instance—but the aboriginal victims were and are Canadians.

How about a social media freedom day?

I woke up the other morning No Boundaries with no Internet and it was fabulous.

KEVIN I drank coffee PARNELL outside in the warm Okanagan morning. I watered the garden. I spoke to my neighbour, even looked him in the eye, as we shared information the old fashioned way.

I didn’t open my computer and check Facebook to see what my friends, whom I never speak to, are up to.

I didn’t race to find my phone and check Twitter to see a zillion experts stroking their egos.

I didn’t take a picture of my gourmet pancakes and pin the recipe to Pinterest.

No, there was no Internet and it was an amazing throwback to so many years ago, when communication was face-to-face, or at least voiceto-voice and we weren’t a bunch of zombies being led around by our smart phone.

And it got me thinking about life without the Internet, smart phones, social media, everything

Life with no Internet. Wouldn’t it be great?

Imagine if you didn’t have to keep your head on a swivel while you walked down the street, making sure you weren’t hit by a texting driver or a skateboarder with his head in his phone.

Imagine if Facebook slacktivists put actual effort into a worthy cause as opposed to just clicking a mouse and hoping the world would become a better place.

Imagine (if you were a kid) and you zipped out of the house, riding your bike into the woods with your friends and your parents didn’t even know where you were and had no way to get a hold of you!!

If we put as much energy into giving back to the community as we do to keeping up our various profiles, wouldn’t Kelowna be a better place?

In addition to Throwback Thursday where people post old pictures of themselves for no reason whatsoever, how about Social Media Freedom Day where we leave the phone at home and volunteer in the community.

Yes the Internet has made life better but it’s also made it worse. It’s made us a self-centred lot. I mean does anyone really need to know that you just bought a scooter and are having coffee downtown?

For one beautiful morning this week, it was tough not to think that the world was a better place before this onslaught of social media dominated our lives.

Now give me a second so I can tweet/FB this column out. I sure hope you like it. ;-)

Letters ALIEN MUSSELS

Sore Feet?

Government foot-dragging is the best ally of invasive species To the editor: Re: Federal inaction on invasive mussels I am alarmed at the foot dragging over the issue of zebra and quagga mussels entering the Okanagan and other B.C. interior watersheds. The threat is imminent and the damaging impacts are well known.

These mussels multiply rapidly and there is no known way of getting rid of them. They contaminate beaches, sandy bottoms and infrastructure such as storm drains and intake pipes. They have steadily advanced westward from the Great Lakes, especially in the US. Our federal government has clear authority and responsibility to stop this invasion at US points of entry. Yet they have ignored the problem for years and only became involved when local authorities such as the Okanagan Basin Water Board screamed loudly and

persistently.

The current federal plan is to slowly engage and train Canadian Border Service Agency personnel to actually inspect boats as they enter Canada. This might happen by midsummer but don’t hold your breath. CBSA, like most other federal agencies, is in cut back mode. This invariably means reductions in front line staff. Without adequate numbers of inspectors how can they carry out these necessary inspections?

In my professional career I worked to combat invasions of non-indigenous pests.

From that I recognize that immediate comprehensive actions are needed when dealing with invasives. Once established, the cost to get rid of them is astronomically higher than preventing the invasion in the first place. Without costly remedial action

KELOWNA CROSSING (BY COSTCO)

there will be costly damage to the tourism industry, infrastructure and the environment.

Prevention by interception requires the full engagement of our federal government. They must take the lead and push our provincial government to participate in accordance with their responsibilities. By not taking the lead they, in effect, let others off the hook.

What can you do? Get informed and get involved at http://www.protectourfreshwater. ca/. In advance of the October federal election, contact your local MPs and let them know that urgent action is required. Footdragging is not acceptable. Contact the candidates for the other parties and find out what they will do. Then consider who you will vote for in October.

FOCUS ON THE ISSUE

Fact: Bill C-51 will affect our freedom To the editor: Re: No Place For Factual Errors, published June 3, in the Capital News.

Regarding my letter; Harper Continues His Dictatorial Ways, published in the May 22 Capital News, Connor Murdock commented that I have failed to include the fact that CSIS had been created by the Act of Parliament back in 1984.

I stated in my letter that Harper was the founder of the organization. Instead I should have stated that Harper has given more power to the spy agency after he took the role of Canada’s Prime Minister. Once Bill C-51 becomes the law that power will increase even more.

It was not necessary for Murdock to attack me by stating that if I had a Grade 10 education I would have known this important fact. The fact is that I have a higher education

in Environmental Technology and have always been interested in educating myself about other issues which also include those regarding our government officials whose decisions, by the way, directly affect us all through their actions.

I am not sure what they are teaching in Grade 10 these days, but I doubt that the truth regarding Bill C-51 or TPP are being taught inside the classroom or being discussed in mainstream media.

My mistake in not stating when CSIS was founded did and will do no harm to anybody.

However, the government choosing to not disclose the details on how TPP and Bill C-51 will affect our freedom or how selling Canada’s wheat board to Saudi Arabia will affect our economy, will do more harm than people can imagine. I am very much aware of the sugar-coating tactics that government

officials use in their marketing schemes and therefore I choose not to become their submissive prey.

For everyone’s information, a constitutional lawyer, Rocco Galati, who is fighting Bill C-51 in Toronto has called it “a fascist and dictatorial piece of legislation.” Galati believes that it is everyone’s duty to fight against this bill, not just his.

Would it matter to anyone when Bill C-51 came into effect? Or would it matter more how Bill C-51 will affect the freedom of Canadians?

It is unfortunate that there are many who choose to defend such irresponsible decisions of our political leaders, but I do believe that once these individuals’ comfortable livelihoods are taken away their position on this matter will change drastically.

So where is that next million dollar idea opportunity hiding, waiting to be discovered?

The answer is within you. Remember my old dictums—an entrepreneur looks at the world the same as everyone else but thinks differently; an entrepreneur looks at the world and sees solutions instead of continuing problems.

But a great idea by itself doesn’t logically

So I believe opportunity recognition is the mantra of clear choice for an entrepreneurial expedition.

How do you recognize this idea that you hope becomes an opportunity for you? What exactly does this little creature look like?

It has to do with analyzing both the product or service in relation to the market you hope it will serve and explore if they may intersect favourably.

Let me capsulize for you the following entrepreneur gospel: An idea is an opportunity when it is attractive, durable, timely and is anchored in a product or service that creates or adds value for its end user.

So below are some issues to address in your investigative process of that idea: a) Market demand: We are looking for a potential set of customers in the marketplace who may be currently underserved (such as our aging population) and who may be looking for a particular product or service to fill a specific need that they have.

Being passionate about your new product or service increases your ability and enthusiasm to market it. That passion means you are far more likely to persevere when others may stumble.

Creating a healthy, sustainable campus The University of British Columbia Okanagan will host the 2015 International Conference on Health Promoting Universities and Colleges, June 22 to 25.

Universities and colleges from around the world will come together at the Kelowna campus this month to share their experiences and develop new strategies to create healthier communities on their campuses and beyond.

The conference is a gathering of experts from more than 40 countries focused on health promotion, wellbeing and sustainability in higher education settings and in the wider community.

Organizers expect to welcome more than 400 delegates from around the world.

“We are creating a dynamic meeting place for researchers, practitioners, administrators, students and policy-makers from around the world to

explore pressing issues and identify promising paths for healthy and sustainable campus development,” said conference chair Claire Budgen, Well-being Initiative director and associate professor emerita nursing at UBCO. One of the conference’s major objectives is to renew an international charter, created in 2005 at the University of Alberta to establish the Edmonton Charter.

“Delegates to our conference will co-design a new international charter to inspire and guide future action,” said Martin Mroz, conference co-chair, practice partner lead, and director of Health and Counselling Services at Simon Fraser University.

“Through dialogue, network activity and drawing from the Edmonton Charter, a new Okanagan Charter will guide and inspire action for ongoing practice, research and policy.”

The timing is right for

this conference, says Matt Dolf, Well-being Initiative director at UBC’s Vancouver campus.

“What we learn at UBC—and what other universities learn from their experiences in promoting health, sustainability and well-

being—can be powerful for our own campuses and influence policies and programs for positive change well beyond our campuses, in our cities and neighbourhoods,” said Dolf, one of the conference’s 14 plenary speakers.

Healthy eating suggestions for family camping trips Simone Jennings Contributor

With summer upon us the itch to get outdoors becomes difficult to ignore.

Our family likes to make time each summer for a few camping trips.

Since we have a toddler, I like to make sure we are organized with food.

I plan simple meals and prepare food before we go. I try to use certain foods in multiple meals and snacks, such as cheese, yogurt, and bread, to save space in the cooler.

Of course, we also pack less healthy snacks for around the fire, whether it’s making S’mores or passing around a bag of chips.

But like at home, I think it is important that most of our food be nutritious.

Here are some foods that are often found in our camping cooler: Prepare in advance: • Make and freeze whole grain muffins, pancakes, or loaves.

• Pre-measure bags of rolled oats with nuts, seeds and dried fruit to cook on the camp stove.

• Hard boil eggs for protein at breakfast or lunch.

• Cook rice, quinoa or pasta the night before you leave and have it in the first couple of days.

• Make and freeze chili and/or pasta sauce. It will act as ice in the cooler and keep for a couple of days.

• Freeze lean meats or fish with marinade in freezer bags so they are ready for the BBQ. • Make and freeze hamburger patties. Use ground chicken, turkey or lean grass fed beef.

Breakfast ideas: Eggs and toast, Greek yogurt with fruit and granola, cold cereal (choose something low in sugar) with milk or yogurt, peanut butter and jam sandwiches with sliced apples and oranges, oatmeal or packages of plain instant oats (just add hot water).

Lunch ideas: Whole grain pitas with hummus and cut up veggies, sandwiches: egg or tuna salad, or veggies and cheese on whole grain bread, a hotdog “alternative” with chicken or turkey sausage on a wholegrain bun (choose sausages that are lower in sodium and free

of preservatives), burritos made from leftover chili and grated cheese in wraps.

Dinner ideas: Chili and

buns, pasta sauce with whole grain noodles, lean meat of your choice with a variety of vegetables, grilled veggies: toss a variety of chopped veggies in olive oil with fresh herbs and wrap in tinfoil and grill, try carrots, potatoes, yams, beets and/or onions, lean hamburger patties on a whole grain bun Snacks ideas: Whole grain crackers and cheese, apple slices and peanut butter, trail mix:

Mostly because of the feisty, spunky side of her nature.

The nickname, however, was inspired by the Tasmanian devil emblazoned floor mats in her funky little white

whole other world CHARLIE than she had ever HODGE planned on. Thank goodness she did.

Soon after Tez and I first met eight years ago, I introduced her to a fellow I was working with named Fran Huck.

Aside from being a former superstar junior and Canadian Olympic hockey team player, Huck also played a number of years in the WHA and NHL before turning to law.

One of Huck’s legal passions was working with First Nations folk on legal cases so it was natural for him to become deeply immersed in working on Indian Residential law suits.

When I first began working with Huck, my job was to contact clients and garner information or memories of the horrendous crimes perpetrated against them in order to win them compensation from the federal government and churches.

For those of you not aware of the scenario, back in the mid-20th century the federal government created a mandate to “de-savage” MSRP $179.95 native Indians across Canada.

To do so, they decided to round up children from reserves across the country and send them to live in residential schools in various provinces.

They commissioned the job of running the residential schools to the Catholic, Anglican and United churches.

Daily or regular beatings, sexual assaults and/or other forms of abuse and disrespect were routine—as part of the process of breaking down the children to destroy the ‘wild spirit.’

It worked.

When it was not the nuns or priests doling out the cruelty, it was older students abusing younger with the encouragement or at least blind eye of the adults in charge.

The legacy of that callous conduct is apparent today in many facets.

Thankfully, a number of years ago the federal government finally conceded on the public demands that some form or justice, financial restitution and apology be made by both the government and its subcontracted church partners for the atrocities committed.

The ‘Truth and Reconciliation’ memorandum spelled out the guidelines.

Even as a veteran

journalist I could not handle the heartbreak and anger Huck’s clients.

When Tez took over my job, I wondered how long she would last.

For the past seven years plus, Tez has helped Huck assist hundreds of First Nations clients (mainly from Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba) find some small form of restitution and compensation for the nightmares.

I have watched her come home decimated from her days work, yet day after day she returned to the task.

Now it seems most of the residential cases are over and their job nearly complete.

While the pain has never gone away for the victims and no amount of money can compensate for the damage, I am so proud of the work Huck and Tez have quietly done for others.

Last week, some great news arrived in the announcement that hundreds of First Nations’ people left out of residential-

school compensation will now be allowed to collectively sue the federal government for their treatment while attending regular day school.

The federal court in Vancouver has certified a class-action lawsuit proposed by the so-called “day scholars,” who returned to their homes

at night.

The decision comes a day after a report by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission branded the residential school survivors’ collective ordeal “cultural genocide.”

The legal action was launched by two British Columbia aboriginal bands, from which at

least 300 survivors have so far been identified.

Chief Shane Gottfriedson, of the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc (Kamloops) band, says the decision is another step towards justice and reconciliation.

The two First Nations’ bands say they’re beginning preparations to

notify class members and expect the outcome of any trial to be months or years away.

I am not sure if either Tez or Fran have the energy or inclination to climb back into that nasty saddle and ride again.

However, knowing that hundreds if not thousands more victims

of a long hidden horrible secret may find a little justice brings even more light into this dark part of Canada’s past.

For all you have done for so many without a voice for so long, and for what may be ahead of you, thank you Fran and ‘Tez.’

WATCH

Presented by:

Sawyer Klassen sawyer.klassen@ kelownacapnews.com

When Tammy Auranen first began attending post secondary education with the intent of entering a professional field, she didn’t

anticipate at all where she would wind up.

She originally began studying to become an optometrist, but soon discovered it wasn’t for

her.

It was then that pursuing work in a technological field was pointed out to her as computers and technology had always been a hobby, but she had never considered it as a career. She jumped on board with the idea, flipping her major to become a software developer.

The decision to pursue a field she enjoys is one that has certainly paid off for Auranen as she worked at GoodLife Fitness’ head office in Ontario for multiple years before moving to the Okanagan to run SunRype’s IT department. While with GoodLife she oversaw business alignment and project management, a job where she worked with each area of the business to find where technology could be brought in to help with its role. One year ago she took the position of Manager of Information Services at SunRype, where she oversees SunRype’s IT department and all of its functions. Although she has ended up finding success in her chosen field, the move into the technical

industry was one that Auranen originally had some reservations about making because she knew she would be one of few women in a male dominated field.

“I’ve thought that I wouldn’t be taken seriously,” she said.

“When I started my role at GoodLife I was concerned because everyone in the department except for one person was a male. Even coming As a woman you bring a different perspective, a different style of problem solving.

TAMMY AURANEN

here (to SunRype) to run the department they probably thought, ‘Who is this girl?’ But I think that actually just motivates me to work harder I think that was the biggest obstacle for me, just proving myself in a male dominated world, the tech industry.”

Despite her concerns, Auranen has never run into any roadblocks because of her gender.

Tammy Auranen, this week’s Woman to Watch.

In fact, she believes the opposite has been the case and people have wanted to meet the woman who is running an IT department.

“I think the thing that I’ve learned in my career in a male dominated industry is really just to be myself, be a woman,” Auranen described. “I think as a woman you bring a different perspective, a different style of problem solving. I think it actually creates a more well-rounded team.”

Auranen believes a great way to expand your capabilities and grow within your industry is to throw yourself into new situations where you can learn new skills and aspects of the industry.

She noted GoodLife was fantastic for her in that way as the company grew tremendously in her time there, allowing her to be exposed to

many different aspects and types of business. One of those experiences lead to a personal highlight of her career as she was able to help create a fully automated gym that didn’t require any staff. That concept has really caught on in the past year as when she left GoodLife they had four locations without staff and they now have around 30.

With many years remaining in her promising career, Auranen has several goals she would like to accomplish, both of which she is already working at. The first

is with her position at SunRype as she would like to bring new technologies to the company to change the way it works, and secondly to encourage more women to enter the technical field, something she is already working towards with the University of British Columbia Okanagan and Okanagan College.

Auranen’s fast career progression in a male dominated industry and tremendous ability to overcome obstacles and continue along a successful career path are what make her a Woman to Watch.

Sports BC FOOTBALL CONFERENCE

Shane Beatty takes on offensive co-ordinator as well as head coaching duties for Okanagan Sun.

Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Shane Beatty will be heading up a newlyconfigured coaching staff when the Okanagan Sun takes to the field for the 2015 B.C. Football Conference season.

In addition to serving as head coach for the third year in a row, Beatty will take on the duties as the club’s offensive co-ordinator for the first time.

On too many occasions in 2014, particularly in key games against the league’s top teams, Beatty said the Sun offense fell short of expectations.

“I wasn’t happy with the results (last season) on offense,” said Beatty. “We’re going to be looking for more

consistency, we’ll have a lot more options and variety, and the kids will be involved a lot more.

We’ll have a lot more sets and shifts, a more American-style offense.

“We need to take advantage of other team’s weaknesses instead of playing to their strengths.”

Former offensive coordinator Nat Nagy has returned to the Sun to help with both the running backs and offense in general.

Two rookies added to the offensive staff are quarterbacks coach Greg Patchell and receivers coach Tommy Howes, who graduated from the Sun last season. Both will assist Beatty and Nagy with the offensive game plan.

On the other side of the ball, ex-CFLer Mike Botterill will step in as the defensive co-ordinator while also serving as the linebackers coach for the

TWO RECEIVERS SIGNED…

The Sun has added a pair of highly-touted receivers to its 2015 roster—Shai Ross and Kyle Kawamoto.

Ross, a 5-foot-11, 180-pound speedster, comes to the Okanagan from Winnipeg “This guy is made to fly,” Beatty said of Ross.

“He’s a speed burner.”

Kawamoto is an SFU grad from North Vancouver who attended the CFL’s regional combine this spring in Edmonton.

“With these two guys, we’re just loaded at receiver,” Beatty added, “and then some.”

The Sun will play its season opener Saturday, July 25 at home to the Westshore Rebels.

CALLING ALL YOUTH SOCCER PLAYERS: U-6 to U-13

Warren Henderson Flag football is alive and well in B.C. That much was evident last weekend in Kelowna as a record number of players and teams converged on the Mission sports fields for the 2015 provincial championships.

One-hundred-sixty nine teams and close to 1,700 players in the U10 to U19 age groups—up by more than 30 per cent over last year—took to 32 fields for 960 games on a sweltering Okanagan weekend.

When B.C. Community Football Association president Joe Gluska first brought the tournament to Kelowna in 2008, there were just 24 teams and six volunteers.

Today, the B.C. Flag Football Championships

“This defense was tops in the country the last two years, so there won’t be a lot of fixing to do,” said Botterill, 34. “It was great for me to be around them last year, to build relationships and get to know the kids.

“Coach Beatty has done a great job of training and preparing the players, so I’m looking forward to working with them again.”

Other newcomers to the staff include former CFL player Jamie Boreham (safeties), and ex-Sun players Jeff Mock (linebackers), Ben Simmons (defensive line) and Landon King (defensive backs).

Other returning coaches are: Ray Wheatley and Derek Kraft (O-line), Don Richmond (running backs), Andre Knights (defensive backs), Arron Goddard (linebackers) and Jeff Hunter (D-line).

ANDRE BLANLEIL SR. TOURNAMENT…

The 2015 Andre Blanleil Sr. Memorial Fastball Tournament is set for this weekend at King Stadium.

The fourth annual tourney will feature a women’s draw for the first time—the Kaos,

Heat, Outlaws and Tanks.

The four-team men’s event will feature Andre’s, the Brewers, Rangers and Surrey.

Action begins Friday at 6 p.m. and will run through Sunday afternoon.

The women’s final goes at 11 a.m. and the men’s at 1 p.m.

Admission is $5 per day or $10 for the weekend, with proceeds going to King Stadium.

Held each June, the tournament honours the memory of the late Andre Blanleil Sr., a longtime coach and player in Kelowna’s fastball community.

The New Zealand Black Sox world champion men’s softball team will be performing their famed haka dance next Wednesday when they visit King Stadium in Kelowna.

Warren Henderson

whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Their traditional pregame haka dance has captured the imagination of sports fans the world over.

The New Zealand Black Sox can play an awfully good game of fastball, too.

The defending world men’s champions will be bringing both spectacles to Kelowna’s King Stadium next Wednesday night.

The Black Sox will take on the Kelowna men’s all-stars in an exhibition doubleheader, as the Kiwis prepare for the ISF World Men’s Softball Championship later this month in Saskatoon.

“This is the real deal, you don’t get any better than this,” veteran pitcher and game organizer Rich Haldane said of next week’s visitors. “They have great pitching and tremendous hitting. They’re No. 1 in the world, so there’s not much more you can say.”

Haldane, who has played his share of international fastball over the years, has seen the New Zealanders perform their haka ceremony on many occasions, much like the Kiwi junior men’s team did last summer prior to an exhibition game in Kelowna.

A traditional ancestral war dance of the Mãori people, Haldane said it’s a lively and stirring display not to be missed.

“It’s unique and just a great spectacle to watch,” said Haldane.

“They’re putting out a challenge, it’s a big adrenaline pump for them and very entertaining for

the fans. We think it also ties in nicely with the First Nation presence we have in the Okanagan.”

A doubleheader between the world champions and Kelowna all-stars will begin at 6:15 on Wednesday night at King Stadium.

While they are the prohibitive underdogs, Haldane doesn’t expect his Kelowna teammates to roll over for the Kiwis, coached by ISF Hall of Famer Mark Sorenson.

“We’ll try and keep it close and give them

a couple of competitive games,” said Haldane.

“We have guys who have played at a high level and are competitive, so we’re not just going to hand it to them. We want to help them get ready for worlds and help ourselves get ready for the rest of our season.

“It should be a fun night.”

Admission for the game is $5 per person, while youths 18 and under will be admitted free.

Ogopogo Invitational draws record numbers on weekend Okanagan Gymnastics Centre has turned into one very popular destination.

The Kelowna-based club last weekend hosted its largest ever Ogopogo Invitational competition, with more than 700 athletes attending the event from B.C., Alberta and the Yukon.

The previous high in the almost three decades since Ogopogo began was 525 participants.

This year, the Ogopogo

was the trial event for selecting the B.C. team that will compete at this year’s Western Canada Summer Games in the Level 5 category for both men and women.

Jenna Mick, who competed in the CPP Level 5 category, started out her competition with a strong floor routine and vault where she finished second in both events.

She also showed off her best beam routine of the year and finished first.

Her bar routine, however, was not her strongest and she finished in seventh overall.

Mick has made the short list for the Western Canada Games, but now it is up to the Women’s Technical Committee to choose the best team to represent B.C. In the national level of competition, Gabriela Beselt finished first overall, competing with athletes a few years older than her. She won gold

on vault, uneven bars and balance beam and finished second on the floor exercise.

In the Aspire category, Amanda Jaggard finished in the top spot after a gold on floor, silver on uneven bars and bronze on vault. Samantha Pelletier won bronze on the balance beam.

Lessons in Seattle for U16 Heat

The UBC Okanagan junior Heat U16 girls basketball team continued its learning process against some tough American competition, posting a 1-3 record at a club tournament last weekend in Seattle.

Here’s is the coaches’ perspective—Kim Whelpton and Cassidy DeVeer—with a look at their four tournament games: Edmonds High School 52 Heat 38 Compared to previous games against other U.S. high school teams, the girls came out prepared to compete and kept themselves in the game with great ball movement and transition buckets.

But going down the stretch, the girls lost their composure and let Edmonds run away with the win. As coaches, we were disappointed in their ‘fight’ and felt they were

missing the desire to do what it takes to win in tight ball games.

Heat 46 UFV JR Cascades 31 After re-grouping and setting some new team and individual goals, the team came out on all cylinders, pushing the pace and scoring fast break points. A younger team, the Cascades hung around for longer than we would have liked but the girls took care of business to ensure a win.

Team Prospects 48 Heat 30 Our girls came out tentative against the more physical Prospects.

The coaches were impressed with the defensive pressure we were able to maintain for the majority of the game causing the Prospects to take uncharacteristic, forced scoring options.

Deep into the game, we lost some of our defensive intensity and got caught

with poor match-ups causing an unanswered run of four 3s to increase the spread in the fourth quarter. Our biggest problem in this game was our own confidence heading into it.

Skagit Storm 42 Heat 40 The girls were down with a few minutes remaining but made a surge and took the lead with 20 seconds remaining. Up one with five seconds left, the Storm hit an amazing half court buzzer beater to win the game. There was not much we could do or be upset about, the girls played amazing and really showed the character they were lacking in previous outings. It was unfortunate to have the Storm hit such a ‘once in a lifetime’ shot to steal the win and take away what should have been a .500 weekend.

CANADIAN TIRE

To celebrate the province’s youth, build partnerships and help them better connect with their communities, the Industry Training Authority is partnering with Canadian Tire to increase knowledge and awareness among B.C. secondary school students about skilled trades career opportunities in the automotive industry.

Together, ITA and the Kelowna Canadian Tire service manager will work with the school district to provide tours of the service centre, speak at career sessions and automotive courses, and participate in informational interviews for students to gain work experience and Secondary Student Apprenticeship (SSA) placements.

There are currently 2,800 active B.C. apprentices registered in automotive sector-related trades (seven per cent of all apprentices in the B.C. trades training system), and as this sector grows and becomes increasingly complex, it is critical to educate students about the options available to them post-secondary.

“Canadian Tire Kelowna has been a great supporter of the KSS automotive apprenticeship program for many years,”said Kendall Thomas, automotive trades instructor for Kelowna Secondary School.

“Great to hear they are continuing their commitment to our youth through the new high school program.

“The trades have always been an excellent career for many students.

“There are some great opportunities for young people in the automotive trade.”

Connor James is one apprentice currently enrolled in the work placement program at Canadian Tire Kelowna.

“This has been great opportunity for me to get some real hands on experience. (Canadian Tire) has been very supportive and have provided an excellent workplace to learn and grow in,” James said.

Added Finbar O’Sullivan, apprenticeship advisor in Kelowna for the Industry Training Authority: “It is so important for postsecondary students to be made aware of the career opportunities available within the skilled trades.

“Canadian Tire’s partnership with ITA will raise awareness among youth, and most importantly, will help create the connections necessary to get their careers started.”

TELUS WALK

Fundraiser focus on finding diabetes cure This year marks the 21st edition of the TELUS Walk to Cure Diabetes, with a fundraising goal is to reach $7.4 million in overall donations and pledges.

It is expected that more than 45,000 people across Canada in approximately 70 cities will walk aside the Type One Diabetes community

and show they are the “won’t stop until there is a cure” type.

Locally, the Okanagan walk goal is to raise $135,000 for type 1 diabetes research, which impacts the many families and individuals in our community living with the daily challenges of type 1 diabetes.

“We anticipate

Quality Greens to host fundraisers for SPCA Each Quality Greens Farm Market location in the Okanagan will host a Fundraiser BBQ and Customer Appreciation Day on Saturday in support of the BC SPCA. There will have free coffee, cake and treats for the kids and barbecue by donation with funds going to the local SPCA branches. Quality Greens has stores in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Vernon and Penticton.

“The SPCA has been so fortunate to have a long time partners in Quality Greens Farm Markets owners Lisa Taylor and Chris Holmes. Lisa and Chris have supported local animals for over nine years showing an ongoing commitment to their community and supporting change for the animals,” said Marni Adams, senior manager, BC SPCA.

nearly 1,000 people to attend the event at Mission Creek Regional Park this Sunday,” said Pam Prentice, regional manager of fundraising and development for JDRF Canada.

JDRF and TELUS will host the Walk to Cure Diabetes in the hopes of encouraging more Canadians to tell the

world what type they are by walking, pledging, fundraising or donating in support of T1D research.

The 2015 TELUS Walk to Cure Diabetes takes place Sunday, June 14, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., with the opening ceremony at 10:30 a.m., closing ceremony noon.

Okanagan Boys and Girls Club to launch two new programs Career preparation and opening of a community kitchen are at the heart of two new programs initiated by the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club.

The career preparation program will be started in partnership with our local Gap and Old Navy stores, called Gap Career Launch.

The program will run Monday evenings until July 31, 4 to 5 p.m., at the Downtown Youth Centre, 1633 Richter St,. in Kelowna.

Participants will gain valuable employment skills, learn about careers, build resumes, practice interview skills, meet representatives from local businesses, and participate in job shadows.

Since January 2015, Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs Downtown Youth Centre has partnered with local McDonald’s and Safeway stores to build youth employment skills. Each workshop has resulted in a youth being offered employment with a local business. We are hopeful that the Gap Career Launch program has similar results.

“When we connect young people to local employers it removes some of the intimidation and mystery,” said Sarah MacKinnon, club director.

“Looking for your first job can be intimidating. Knowing how to go out

and make that connection, putting your best self forward, is the key.”

The community kitchen initiative was made possible by a grant from the General Mills Foundation.

Also located at the Downtown Youth Centre, the kitchen program will run Tuesdays, 6:30 to 8 p.m., until early October.

The program is geared toward youth and the adults who care about them; parents or supportive adults in their family, their home, or their community.

The community kitchen also has involved as a facilitator Renee Altman, a holistic nutritionist and owner of Verity Nutrition.

“All the good work revolves around food,” said MacKinnon.

“When you’re hungry you can’t focus, learn or grow.

“People open up and share their stories around food. It’s been happening for centuries.

“Teaching youth about cooking and nutrition sets them up with skills they need to take care of themselves and their families down the road.”

Youth and their parent/guardian adults who are interested in participating in the community kitchen program can contact Philippa Putlitz at 250-8688541, ext 201 for more details.

Great way to walk the planks Jacqueline L. Urgo

present” as a specific destination.

Each has a unique appeal to vacationers based on amusements, restaurants, clubs, games, and other attractions, he said.

“And what towns invest in maintaining and reinvesting in those boardwalks is significant to the ultimate economic payoff,” Tyrrell said.

But it may be simple sentimentality that makes boardwalks so beloved.

Author James Lilliefors wrote in America’s Boardwalks: From Coney Island to California: “The boardwalk bewitches us with lost scents and sounds, reminders of why we went in the first place: to belong, to escape, to watch the parade, to feast, to fall in love.”

If railroad conductor Andrew Boardman—who is credited with coming up with the concept of the first boardwalk, in 1870—had a different surname, would these wooden walkways that have become so popular at the Jersey Shore be called something different?

There’s no concrete answer.

But along with hotelier Jacob Keim, Boardman constructed the original walk along the Atlantic City oceanfront to help keep the sand off the feet of train passengers boarding the rails back to the city and of hotel guests strolling off the beach and into the carpeted lobbies of the grand hostelries.

The earliest incarnation was a simple affair made of hammeredtogether planks, no more than eight feet wide, that was portable enough to be lifted and stowed for the winter.

Over time, the temporary structure became permanent along Atlantic City’s beachfront. And by the resort’s gilded age in the 1890s, the Boardwalk had become the centrepiece of “America’s Playground,” offering visitors quirky attractions and top-shelf shopping and entertainment.

Atlantic City’s Boardwalk was so popular it spawned a wave of such promenades up and down the East Coast. Eventually, the trend spread west to beach towns like Santa Cruz, Calif. In the middle of the country, landlocked resorts jumped on the boardwalk bandwagon with ‘riverwalks.’

But whatever you want to call it, wherever there is a boardwalk, there is a melange of sights, sounds, and smells unique to the character of a

And 79 percent of visitors to the Jersey Shore say the boardwalk is the second-most popular draw, after the beaches, said Diane Wieland, director of the Cape

May County tourism department.

Brian J. Tyrrell, associate professor of hospitality and tourism management at Stockton University and research fellow at the Lloyd D. Levenson Institute of Gaming, Hospitality, and Tourism, said the

boardwalks on the southern end of the Jersey Shore—Atlantic City, Ocean City, and Wildwood—were important economic engines in those resorts.

The three boardwalks enhance the “global image and appeal they

Atlantic City—The granddaddy of all boardwalks, the Atlantic City Boardwalk is a four-mile-long promenade stretching from the Absecon Inlet to the Ventnor City limit. It’s a Boardwalk with a skyline of casino hotels and has been home to a continuous stream of entertainment piers and attractions since it opened on June 26, 1870. Although several of the original piers are gone or rebranded as other attractions, the Steel Pier remains a top attraction along with Boardwalk Hall and Ripley’s Believe It or Not museum.

Rolling chairs are still popular.

No matter the transition the city is undergoing with four casino closings, the urban-mixed-with-beachy culture of the Boardwalk has remained steadfast.

In 2014, the state Casino Reinvestment Development Authority mounted a $34 million “Clean and Safe” initiative for improvements,

Conductor built first boardwalk to keep his train clean including new lighting, tourism ambassadors, well-landscaped parks, and storefront facade improvements.

The Steel Pier is undergoing a $10 million overhaul to bring new rides, additional food and beverage outlets, and the East Coast’s largest observation wheel to the pier.

This summer, the Steel Pier will also offer the only helicopter tour of the Shore. A basic tour that lasts less than a half-hour and swoops along the Boardwalk costs $49 per person.

“The Atlantic City Boardwalk is the great equalizer,” said Mayor Don Guardian, who before being elected to the highest local office was executive director of the Atlantic City Special Improvement District.

“It’s for everyone . . . it’s America’s Boardwalk.”

Ocean City—It really is all about tradition along the 2 1/2-mile stretch that is the Ocean City Boardwalk.

It’s not uncommon to find popcorn shops, custard stands, arcades, children’s amusements, and clothing stores that have been operated by the same families for 50, 75, 85 years, said Michele Gillian, executive director of the Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce.

The boardwalk may be exactly the way you remember it as a kid— and thanks to staples like Manco & Manco pizza and Kohr Bros. custard, it even tastes the same.

“I think that’s what makes Ocean City’s boardwalk so unique.

That it stays the same and the same families have been coming here for generations,” Gillian said.

“There may be a new eatery or two every year or a couple of new kiddie rides, but the fact that it stays so traditional is what brings people back year after year. People want it to stay the same. They want to find that same Ferris wheel they went on as a kid and bring their own kids.”

The boardwalk was first built here in 1880, and when a catastrophic fire destroyed most of the original structure in 1927, town fathers rebuilt it 300 feet closer to the ocean upon concrete pilings. The Ocean City Music Pier,

Gillians Wonderland Pier on the Ocean City boardwalk. a unique entertainment auditorium opened in 1928, provides a home for a variety of shows and concerts throughout the year. Gillian’s husband’s family has been operating Gillian’s Wonderland Pier, a children’s amusement ride centre, for 85 years, she said. Other popular amusement sites include Playland and Castaway Cove, which have been operating nearly as long.

Wildwood—Often making the travel Top 10 lists and Trip Advisor stats, the Wildwood Boardwalk remains a destination for travelers seeking what is perhaps the top

boardwalk amusement experience. Stretching 2 1/2 miles through North Wildwood, Wildwood, and Wildwood Crest along an extraordinarily wide beachfront, it includes three large amusement parks, three water parks, and an endless array of games of chance and the hawkers who go with them.

But the Wildwood Boardwalk, which some contend is more honkytonk than highly evolved kitsch, has sparked controversy in recent years, as the town fathers have tried to clean up the image by insisting patrons pull up their pants. An

ordinance passed two years ago threatens violators with $200 fines for making the fashion choice of indulging in the “sagging” look of wearing pants so loose that underwear shows.

“On any given Saturday night in the summer, the sights and sounds of the Wildwood boardwalk provide pure sensory overload…the neon, the sounds of the people, the excitement of the rides. It’s all here, and the atmosphere is unlike anything else,” contends Ben Rose, director of marketing and public relations for the Greater Wildwood

GLENMORE

Community Connection

Elementary School

So, Why iPads?

At École Glenmore Elementary… our goal is to redefine and improve learning with iPads.

By: Stephanie Tobin Multimedia like video, pictures and audio both enhance and inspire student creativity. Mobile devices allow students to learn beyond the school walls, encourage risk-taking, differentiate skill levels and give instant feedback. The work done on iPads looks polished and is easily shared via email or published on a blog.

Brian from Mme Tobin’s class eagerly anticipated answers to his math questions from our Twitter followers this year. He said, “J’aime Twitter parce que je pose une question (2 + 58 = 60) et les autres personnes disent que c’est correct.” Caiya shared pictures of her travels when away in New Zealand on Kidblog. More recently, our class used FaceTime with Mia who talked about her visit to the United Nations from New York.

What are the benefits of mobile devices compared to a computer lab?

Besides the various apps available, iPads are more seamlessly integrated into teaching and learning. For example, teachers and learners can instantaneously look something up on an iPad without interrupting the lesson.

Computer labs are becoming obsolete, soon to be replaced by learning labs or removed completely.

Kids are drawn to technology.

Many of them spend their time on social media and/or gaming. Sixteen out of twenty-one students in Mr. Costa’s grade 4/5 class named gaming as one of their favourite tablet activities. At Glenmore, children are learning skills to help them navigate the digital world. For example, we show them how to do web research at their reading level and how to evaluate the authenticity of resources.

The use of technology in classrooms requires a shift from traditional classroom dynamics. Teachers are often learning how to use tablets alongside students. Glenmore’s student tech team members demonstrate how to use a particular app or tablet feature to learners in other classrooms.

It has been an interesting process for them because they have to think like teachers. These members communicate and cooperate with others from different grades.

The tech world in general reflects a community spirit. Mrs. MacPherson’s grade one class suggested to

“At school, screen time is not passive but innovative and challenging.”

Glenmore Contributors By grade six student: Samantha Beausoleil

H

ere at Glenmore, we do things differently. Whether it’s teaching French or iPads, helping the kindergarteners, running the buddy bench at recess or gardening, it is all considered contributing. In my class, we do this thing called “Contributor Hour”. It is a time when we replace our final block on Thursday to help out around the school.

Every Thursday for an hour, I go into the garden with some people from my class to pick out weeds, put down cardboard and plant seeds in pots. It feels good to know that I’m helping the school. The most important thing to remember is working together. We can’t finish anything

out there in time if we don’t work together. Like when we are finishing the bark mulch. One person needs to shovel it. One person needs to push the wheelbarrow and one person needs to put down wet cardboard.

We all do it together and it gets the job done.

I like working in the garden because it’s contributing.

Contributors are very important in our world because without them we wouldn’t have the same relationships.

What would our world be like without contributors?

the app developers of MyStory that they include a shape maker. The CEO of the company responded thirty minutes later asking, “What exactly do you have in mind?” This sense of openness influences us in other areas of our lives too. At Glenmore, teachers are reflecting on how to arrange their classrooms to spark learning. Mme van Oyen has large tables instead of desks in her grade 4 class to encourage collaboration in all subjects.

No doubt a digital presence can complicate things. Gabby from Mr. Costa’s class sums it up when she said, “You can get bullied on technology and it could rot your brain.” Mr. Obst, our teacher librarian, has been discussing what it means to be a responsible digital citizen with Glenmore students.

They have been looking at safety, security and ethical issues that arise from online interactions.

Kids recognize that technology should have limits like Kourosh, in grade 5 who said, “It’s not really good for your eyes, looking at a screen for so long.” Every child differs on the type of supervision that he/she needs when it comes to technology. Many require adults to step in to regulate and model acceptable use. At school, screen time is not passive but innovative and challenging.

Ray Kurzweil said that technology growth is exponential. Its impact on all of us is profound. Moving forward, we want our students to know how to learn, adapt and contribute to future paradigm shifts. École Glenmore Elementary introduced iPads as a pedagogical tool to teachers in 2012.

Since then iPads have been adopted in over twenty other elementary schools in School District 23.

Glenmore Footprint Days

By: Nicole Kleemaier and Nicole Klimuk

The Glenmore Footprint Days are four fun-filled evening walks of five kilometers in the surrounding area every May. This year was our 7th annual event and we walked to places like Brandt’s Creek, the waterfront and the Rails with Trails pathway. The family friendly walk is open to everyone and anyone. Many local companies generously sponsor the event so every participant receives a free Footprint Days t-shirt, water and apples and chances to win many draw prizes. Children who walk all four evenings get treated to a pizza lunch at school the following week.

The inspiration for this event came from the Netherlands where Nicole Kleemaier grew up. For the past century, it has been a national tradition to go on four walks during one week of the year. In the city or Nijmegen, there are approximately 150,000 participants who come from all over the world. There are several routes to choose from in Nijmegen, all over forty kilometers per day. Often groups or organizations will partake including troops of soldiers carrying their gear for overnight camping.

Glenmore’s

Art Extravaganza On May 21st, École Glenmore Elementary went to the Rotary Centre for the Arts to experience a new place for our talent show and celebrate the fine arts. I learned that art can mean many things.

I liked the talent show because I got to see everyone’s unique talents. There was all kinds of music including singing, violin, piano and much more. When I was on stage, I felt a bit nervous. I’m going to do cup stacking next year. I hope my stage fright doesn’t kick in. It’s a bit scary but exciting to express your talents. It was especially fun because we did it in the Mary Irwin Theatre.

After the talent show, we got to play the harp! It makes all kinds of pretty sounds. It sounded like the guitar. Then we went outside. There was sculpting, painting, drumming and other activities. People could make a painting of how they see Kelowna. I really liked how you could paint with glitter and lots of different accessories.

In Kelowna, Nicole noticed that most children get dropped off at school by car and aren’t always familiar with the neighbourhood in which they live. She knew Glenmore families would benefit greatly physically and emotionally from her experience in the Netherlands because it builds a community spirit and supportive network as neighbours get to know each other on the walks.

This is the last year for Nicole Kleemaier as the organizer for Glenmore Footprint Days because her last child is moving on to middle school. Nicole Klimuk is taking the reins here forth. Both of these ladies hope this event will encourage more and more people to choose to walk to their destination instead of driving once they see how quick and easy it can be. We invite other schools to join us next year to help spread this idea throughout the city, province and eventually throughout the country. The impact this could have on the overall health of everyone is beyond imaginable.

By grade three students: Maya Courtney, Keira Eves, Jeremy Fischer, Mae Glerum, Cambria Milne, Malcolm Ross, Drew Sidoni, Ashton Springer and Caiya Taylor-Ainslie

We did a flash mob. It was when all of the people in the area started to dance. I hope everyone was surprised. I thought the fact that everybody wore a green t-shirt was neat. It was like a moving field of grass. The teacher who taught us put a lot of work into it. I thought she did well.

Mme Tobin’s class got to go to the Japanese garden. There, kids can experience nature. The pond has loads of fish, plants and two turtles. It was like a different world. Did you know that one year almost all of the fish died because people were feeding them?

The Arts Festival was awesome. I hope your child had as much fun there as I did. Take a look at our videos with the QR code. My favourite thing about the day was making a documentation on iMovie about the festival. Art is beautiful.

If no one ever created, we wouldn’t have things like photos, colours, clothes or furniture. What’s the earth without art?

It’s just “Eh!”

At this point, I once again took over driving without the hassle of re-setting my seat preferences; the settings were conveniently programmed into the seat position memory. Once back on the road I really put the pedal to the metal – the acceleration was brisk and delivered plenty of power. With that much power, typically comes a hefty bill at the gas station, and not because of all the ice cream sandwiches purchased there.

However, a comparison check shows the RDX offers fuel efficiency is rivalled by very few luxury SUVs. Given the often-steep gas prices we see these days, the RDX’s fuel economy on average is 10.6 litres/100 km, allowing motorists to enjoy summer drives guilt-free.

The pleasure of cruising the coastline was amplified by the views offered from the RDX’s raised stance. Driving as the sun dipped below the horizon meant it was time to open the moonroof. The

moonroof is easily operated with a onetouch power mechanism along with a visor that actively reduces the vibrations and noise associated with having a window open, allowing for a smooth and noise-free ride.

Last, but certainly not least, I had long been awaiting my parents’ arrival with the anticipation of finally properly learning how to parallel park. Much to my surprise, the Acura RDX provides all of the tools required to successfully complete this complex and sometimes dangerous (when I’m behind the wheel) task. The vehicle includes a multi-angle rear-view camera along with reverse tilt dual mirrors that provide curb views. I can now parallel park in the city without chagrin – hold onto your curbside parking spots, fellow motorists.

Audi teaches computers to think like drivers one of the important bases of intelligence for piloted driving.

With every kilometre traveled, the car gets smarter.

But it takes more than terabytes of such data to make for successful autonomous driving. The data has to be processed very quickly: 30 video frames a second.

‘Jack, the Audi A7 Sedan.

As Audi perfects its autonomous driving technology, it’s using ‘deep learning’ to train computers to imitate the human brain.

This breakthrough played a critical role for a recent 885-kilometre autonomous-drive of “Jack,” the Audi A7 Sedan from Silicon Valley to Las Vegas. The deep learning process is at the centre of a drive to produce a commercially available vehicle that can pilot itself to any destination with little human help. Audi is cooperating with such key suppliers as NVIDIA, the digital-tech company based in Santa Clara, California, to create a vehicle computer the way human brains process new information.

process. The edges form meaningful, distinct shapes, which the brain starts to recognize. A fire truck is red, has a certain shape and wheels, but at first, the baby might think all trucks are fire engines. Then the child learns to differentiate between different kinds of trucks.

The car technology enables pixels to be generated by camera images, in a similar way to how the human eyeball transfers images to the brain. The Audi processor, about the size of a tablet PC and powered by NVIDIA’s Tegra processor, analyzes every frame of video that comes in, and it senses edges which it groups into shapes. It learns that the shapes are objects then learns to differentiate those objects.

This artificial intelligence enables the Audi processor

Cherokees chase on Hell’s Revenge Trail

By Rob Beintema

Rob Beintema tests the 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk on Hell’s Revenge Trail.

CONTRIBUTED

“Don’t look down.”

It’s always been one of the scariest three-word sentences in the lexicon of human experience, right up there with the boss’s “In my office,” the always dreaded spousal “We’ve gotta talk” and, dare I mention it, “Revenue Canada called.”

In this particular case, the three words seemed to be

repeating on a mental loop, “Don’t look down, don’t look down.”

I tried to fix my gaze on the narrow, rubber-blackened trail that traversed the top of the rounded rock mound we were crossing, instead of allowing it to flicker down the steeply sloped sides that dwindled to nothingness and impending doom, far, far below.

This was the opening climb

Enrol Now & Save!

Kelowna’s Newest Driving School

on Hell’s Revenge Trail, an off-road roller-coaster ride across the Lion’s Back and Slickrock Fins, the start of two days of clanging and banging across sorrel red sandstone domes, ledges, canyons and trails outside of Moab, Utah.

In the Bible, the ancient kingdom of Moab was a waypoint to a fabled land of milk and honey. But this modern Moab has become the Promised Land itself for hordes of nomadic off-roaders, all making a pilgrimage to an ultimate challenge for the blended abilities of man and machine.

And the delicious contrast here was that we were making the arduous twoday trek in 2015 Cherokees.

“C’mon Dad, that Cherokee’s not even a real Jeep,” my Wrangler-driving daughter had said before I left for the event.

And even FCA designers will admit the Cherokee was an intentional departure away from traditional Jeep styling cues, adopting sleek angles instead of blocky body lines, dropping the sacred round head-lighted front end in favour of a more feral face marked with slash-styled LED daylight running lamps.

At the unveiling of the new Cherokee, old fart traditionalists swooned, swore and had attacks of the vapours before a brand new crossover-crazed customer base broke open the doors to Jeep dealerships for the first time.

I’d already reviewed a Jeep

Cherokee earlier in the year and must admit that, even dressed in Trailhawk trim, I had tended to think of the Cherokee as the Soccer Mom Jeep, more likely to be found in plaza parking lots or on school runs rather than inching up and down breakneck inclines.

But, lest we get confused here, there’s more Jeepness to this Cherokee than just the symbolic seven-slot grille.

“The Trailhawk has been upgraded within the five specific categories necessary to earn a Trail Rated grading,” said Bruce Skyhouse, Jeep guy in charge of chassis and off-road engineering.

Those categories cover traction, water fording, maneuverability, articulation and ground clearance.

In most of those gradings the Cherokee comes in, naturally enough, below the Wrangler but on par or even above the Grand Cherokee ratings and usually well superior to the off-road qualities of the new Renegade soft roader.

The Cherokee Trailhawk boasts a number of differences compared to regular Cherokees, including noticeably leaner front and rear fascias for better approach and departure angles and a toughened chassis with more suspension travel, contributing to a one-inch lift in ride height for a 224 mm (8.7 in) ground clearance.

Handling dusty trails from page 4

Trailhawks also get wider wheel flares, a full-sized spare instead of a compact tire, skid-plated underbody protection, transmission and oil coolers, two red tow hooks up front and one in the back, along with slightly higher profile P245/65R17 Firestone Destination OWL All-Terrain tires.

Cosmetically, every hint of exterior body chrome has been deleted in favour of Trailhawk-exclusive accents—roof rails, mirrors, special grill surrounds and a matte hood decal to reduce glare on the trail. Rubber/ vinyl floor matts replace the usual carpet matts inside.

And, like all other Cherokee models, the Trailhawk comes with a choice of two engines: A standard 2.4-litre Tigershark MultiAir inline four-cylinder, and an optional 3.2-litre Pentastar V6.

A standard 2.4-litre Tigershark MultiAir inline four-cylinder makes 184 hp and 171 lb/ft of torque with a fuel economy rating of 12.1/9.4L/100km (city/hwy).

An optional 3.2-litre Pentastar V6 ($1,595) makes

more muscle with 271 hp and 239 lb/ft of torque.

Jeep trotted out V6 models for this gruelling test, obviously putting their best foot forward but the V6 seems a viable option with better acceleration, more towing grunt and, new for 2015, with Engine Stop-Start (ESS) assisted fuel economy that’s almost the equivalent of four-banger numbers, coming in at 12.2/9.0L/100km (city/hwy).

Power is channeled through a very modern ZF nine-speed automatic transmission and Jeep’s Active Drive II and Active Lock systems using a Selec-Terrain traction control system with five customized modes - Auto, Snow, Sport, Sand/Mud and Rock settings. Those settings are enhanced with choices allowing 4WD low, rear axle lock, Hill Descent Control and, especially, with Selec-Speed Control, sort of an off-road low-speed cruise control for seemingly impossible ascents and descents, with small speed changes selected by the driver through the shifter’s “+” and “-“ buttons.

It all makes for a pretty impressive enhancement for Jeep’s latest crossover.

Unnecessary maybe for the daily driving chores of most owners. But an impressive array of off-road abilities and capabilities nonetheless.

Which is why after two days of extreme trials in the wilds of Utah’s back hills, traversing trails and banging over rocks and ledges, I will have to explain to my daughter that, yes, the 2015 Cherokee Trailhawk is very much a Jeep after all.

news _____________________________________________________________________ HEALTHY KIDS DAY

The YMCA attracts thousands to annual family event Kids and their families were drawn to the Kelowna Family YMCA in Rutland last Sunday for the 10th annual YMCA Healthy Kids Day. This free event’s goal is to bring the community together to motivate and inspire children and families to lead healthier lives every day.

Even though the Okanagan experienced record breaking heat last

weekend, the event was a huge success, attracting close to 3,000 people to participate in active, heart pumping play in the fresh air and sunshine.

Kids could be seen in every direction, playing, crafting, Zumba-ing and more.

There were opportunities for kids to bounce, climb, run, dance, swim, experiment with yoga, laugh, blow

bubbles and enjoy some healthy snacks along the way.

Everyone was able to participate in the action, adding a little more play in their day.

Engaging in healthy habits early in life sets the stage for future physical, social, emotional and mental development.

Kids are our community’s future and YMCA Healthy Kids

Day brings with it, an important message.

“Being healthy really can be a lot of fun,” said Lauren Abney, Kelowna Family Y fitness manager.

“Healthy Kids Day plays a big part in helping families live healthier, and the Y also has proven

programs and services available year round, ensuring that families can access the tools they need to incorporate healthy habits in the day to day lives.”

The Okanagan YMCA would like to thank its Healthy Kids

Day sponsors Interior Savings, Kelowna Capital News, and Sun FM as well as the many other community partners, who donated their time and/ or resources to help make this event possible.

For more than 33 years, the Y has been deeply

rooted in the Okanagan, positively impacting the lives of some 45,000 people each year.

For more information on YMCA programs for you and your family, visit the website www. ymcaokanagan.ca.

Norm Macdonald is perhaps best known for his five seasons as a cast member on Saturday Night Live.

On that show, for three years Macdonald anchored the Weekend Update segment, SNL’s longest running recurring sketch.

Macdonald also wrote for the popular ABC sitcom Roseanne and starred in The Norm Show from 1999 to 2001.

Macdonald is also a favourite on the TV talk show circuit, making a particularly emotional final routine on The Late Show with David Letterman last month, offering his sentiments about how Letterman was his idol growing up and how he gave Macdonald his first break as a standup comic on television.

Macdonald has appeared in several movies over the last 15 years, including Dirty Work which he co-wrote,

Billy Madison with Adam Sandler, The People Vs. Larry Flint and the Andy Kaufman biopic Man On The Moon.

For the first time, two students in the troupe, Dharma Ayla and Andrea Sorestad, have choreographed the entire show.

To the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tonynominated top 40 score (the soundtrack album reached number one on the Billboard charts and has sold over 15 million copies) and augmented with dynamic new songs for the stage musical, Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind.

Book your tickets online at kelownaactorsstudio. com.

The Actors Studio Performance Troupe will present a stage musical version of the classic ‘80s film Footloose on June 19 and 20.

IN THE LOOP Kelowna residents will have the rare opportunity to see 40 paintings by prominent Canadian historical artists including members of the Group of Seven, as well as Tom Thomson, David Milne, and other artists active in the early to mid-20th century.

A Story of Canadian Art: As Told by the Hart House Art Collection will be on view at the Kelowna Art Gallery until July 19.

Visitors will be thrilled by the extraordinary paintings in the exhibition, including many works depicting iconic Canadian landscapes along with some stunning portraits, still lifes, and urban scenes.

The time frame the exhibition spans is a significant one, the Great Depression, a time when many Canadians in the 1930s were forced to endure substantial economic hardships and when Canadian artists turned from wilderness landscape material to exploring social issues in their work.

The exhibition provides an interesting look at the history of art in Canada and features an impressive number of women artists, including Prudence Heward, Lilias Torrance Newton,

Paraskeva Clark, Kathleen Morris, and Bess and Yvonne Housser. Works by these women painters have never previously been exhibited in Kelowna.

The exhibition is financially supported by the Museums Assistance Program of the Department of Canadian Heritage. Independent curator Christine Boyanoski has organized the exhibition and has written the text in the beautiful catalogue that accompanies the show.

This weekend will see the release of the long-awaited fourth movie in the Jurassic Park franchise, Jurassic World.

Unlike the original that started this franchise, Jurassic Park, which was marketed at the time as being “65 million years in the making,” Jurassic World has undergone numerous screenplay revisions, directors and cast options in the 14 years since Jurassic Park III was released.

Set 22 years after the events of the first movie, we return to the original island of Isla Nublar, the site of John Hammond’s failed Jurassic Park.

This time around, Hammond’s dream has now been realized, to create a functional dinosaur theme park.

But after being open for 10 years, park attendance is dwindling so the park scientists seek to renew public interest by creating a genetically enhanced hybrid dinosaur called Indominus Rex, a massive creature that is highly intelligent and has the ability to learn.

The man ready to do battle with this new dino is Chris Pratt, who plays dinosaur ‘wrangler’ Owen Grady.

While Owen is used to training velociraptors, it will take much more to stop Indominus before the beast destroys Jurassic World and all the tourists in it.

With Steven Spielberg on board as producer, expect this one to be another hit.

One of the reasons why the original Jurassic Park was a success was the score by John Williams.

While Williams is not scoring this one, his theme will definitely be used, mixed with a new score by new maestro Michael Giacchino, who has an unusual connection to an earlier Jurassic Park sequel—a connection that would jumpstart his career.

Giacchino got his start scoring video game soundtracks and his first major composition was for the video game adaptation of The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

Director/writer J.J. Abrams took note of Giacchino’s work on the video games and hired him to score the TV series Alias and Lost, which led

Replacing a water-thirsty lawn

Okanagan Xeriscape Association.

Fridays in the Capital News

GWEN STEELE/CONTRIBUTOR

With the early, very dry spring weather, many more people want to cut back on watering.

To help answer the common question of what to plant to replace a water thirsty lawn, I will give a free, one hour class at 7 p.m., Tuesday, June 16, in the unH2O Xeriscape Demonstration Garden, located in front of the H2O Aquatic Centre, 4075 Gordon Dr. The gardens were designed to help gardeners visualize what they could do in their own gardens.

There are more than 80 varieties of perennials, ornamental grasses, shrubs, trees and annuals in the five theme gardens.

On Tuesday, I will focus on the many plants in bloom, explaining their growth habits, bloom time and cultural requirements.

To assist you with remembering the plants I talk about, each participant will receive a garden brochure containing a listing of all the plants.

Bring a pen so you can mark ones that appeal to you.

Later, for full information and pictures you can look them up on our plant database at www.okanaganxeriscape. org.

The plants are labeled, so if you bring your camera, you can also photograph the name after taking a picture of a plant.

The native plant garden and rock gardens are at their most colourful.

Neither receive any supplemental irrigation.

The flowers of sedums, Penstemon pinifolius and thrift (Armeria maritima) draw the eye to the rock gardens, as does the interesting variations in foliage colour and texture.

In the native plant garden, mock orange and ocean spray (Holodiscus discolour) shrubs are blooming.

Cheery, yellow browneyed susans will continue to bloom all summer.

They look magical peeking through blue bunch wheat grass.

The powder-blue showy asters will also flower all summer.

By Tuesday, pink nodding onions will have begun blooming.

The Mediteranean garden plants are also very drought tolerant, only being watered once or twice if the summer is

company of gardeners.

Gwen Steele is executive director of the

DRIVEWAY

In the unH2O Butterfly Garden, burgundy-leaved Berberis ‘Gentry’ forms a pleasing backdrop to the long-blooming, Rosa ‘Nearly Wild’. Campanula ‘Blue Waterfall’ provides a dainty, blue ground cover all summer.

Gardening With Nature GWEN STEELE very hot and dry.

Bright blue Nepeta ‘Walker’s Low’ has bloomed and fed pollinators since late April.

Yellow Missouri evening primrose have just started their four

month flowering cycle.

Other Mediterranean Garden plants will begin blooming next week.

Some ornamental grasses and many plants in the butterfly garden are also flowering.

If you don’t make it to the class, you can pick up a garden brochure from the box beside the main

Monica was born on February 13th 1937 in England where she trained as a State Registered Nurse and Midwife prior to her marriage to Duncan in 1959 Monica and Duncan emigrated to Vancouver in 1964 where, following completing his pathology training, they came to Kelowna in 1966 when it was a small town.

Monica was a stay at home mother to Sara, Claire and Fiona who she supported in their numerous activities of racing, sailing and equestrian competitions.

Monica was a proud grandmother to three grandsons Derek, Colin and Wesley (Claire and Randy), one granddaughter Elly (Fiona and Darren) and one great grandson Logan (Derek and Erin).

A major supporter of the Okanagan Symphony, she looked forward to attending their many concerts. She so enjoyed a private recital at the Hospice House by Rosemary (symphony conductor) and Audrey (principle cellist).

Grateful thanks to Drs Wendy Wickstrom, Rosalie Swart, Kong Khoo, the Cancer Agency staff and the staff at the Hospice House for their caring support during her final illness. A memorial service will be held at 4:00 pm on Friday, June 19, 2015, at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Rd, Kelowna, BC In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to a charity of your choice.

2014 Community Leader Awards

LEADER OF THE YEAR:

Jerry Schwartz is a quiet man with a kind heart, an unsung hero who literally goes the distance for the Kelowna Community Food Bank every week.

Now 80 years of age, Schwartz started volunteering with the food bank nearly 30 years ago during a recession.

In between jobs as a bricklayer in December of 1984, Schwartz heard an ad on the radio about the need for volunteers at the food bank.

“I was unemployed at the time and looking for something to do,” he recalled.

He returned to his duties as a mason with the change of seasons, but he continued to volunteer his time at the food bank. After retiring, Schwartz made the food bank his second home and the staff his second family.

Volunteering with the food bank, Schwartz says, gives him a reason to wake up every morning and be excited about the day ahead of him. “As a volunteer, it helps keep your life purposeful and you feel useful, helping to make a difference.”

Schwartz rides the transit bus from Rutland to be at the food bank by 8 a.m. four days a week, working until 2 p.m. each of those days.

For the past five years, Schwartz has been the driving force behind the food bank’s Food Runners initiative, a perishable food donation recovery program.

Food bank officials say the program would not exist without Schwartz’s weekly time and effort. He drives some 300 kilometres weekly, collecting perishable food items and prepared food from vendors and delivering it to partner agencies such as the Food For Thought Society, the Kelowna Gospel Mission, the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club and KiLow-Na Friendship Society.

The food that he delivers would otherwise go to waste,

food that is finding a new purpose to help feed those in need.

Schwartz says the need of people to rely on the food bank continues to grow, noting that he is working at his fourth food bank facility since he started volunteering at the United Church basement location on Bernard and Richter.

“It seems every time we move, it’s to a bigger place and you think this is huge, then we run out of space and are moving again. But you can see by the lineup of people who are facing hard times at our current location, the need keeps growing,” he said.

“It is very rewarding to be able to help those people out, and many of them get back on their feet and end up coming back to volunteer to help others. I don’t think the public are often very aware of that. People who come to the food bank to get help often will come back and volunteer for us.”

Local MLA Norm Letnick describes Schwartz as the epitome of “wanting to make a difference without asking for anything in return.” He is a man who lives his values by his actions rather than his words, the MLA added.

Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray said Schwartz is a humble and hardworking volunteer who would probably feel embarrassed to receive the Community Leader of the Year Award, which Gray says is “exactly why Jerry so deserves it… everyone benefits from his service and dedication and we can all learn from his example.”’
