▼ FLOODING
Standing directly across from Winn Automotive on Enterprise Way Monday morning, one could watch the ducks leisurely basking in the heat as Mill Creek gurgled toward the road. On any other day, this would be a grassy boulevard, but after a deluge of wind and rain rocked the Okanagan over the weekend, the creek crested the bank, threatening the line of sandbags stationed between the water and the road. “We’re concerned,” said Bruce Winn, Winn Automotive owner. “Even with the warmer weather. This kind of heat isn’t always a good thing.” Whether the snap from 10 C Saturday to 26 C Monday would melt the snowpack even faster, causing more flooding, was uncertain Monday afternoon, but a good deal of damage had already been done. Totom Storage and two other manufacturing businesses on Totom Court flooded and crews were working hard to clear the lakeshore at places like Rotary Beach and Gyro Beach of debris—though not everyone was worried. “This is actually really great for me,” said Carlos Barbosa, an ocean shell modelling artist walking the water’s edge at Gyro Beach.

ONE MAN’S debris is another man’s art. Carlos Barbosa inspects some of the bark washed down stream during the weekend floods. The ocean shell modelling artist intends to turn the pieces of wood he finds along the beach this week into sculptures. Below are two views of an overflowing Mill Creek in Kelowna as seen from Dilworth Mountain (left) and along a portion of a sandbag protected Enterprise Way.

When Kelowna’s Adam Scorgie set out to produce and co-create The Union: The Business Behind Getting High, he didn’t imagine that Canadian MPs would be inviting him to Parliament Hill for screenings of the film. But five years after the documentary’s release, that’s exactly what has happened. Last week, Scorgie and director Brett Harvey were in Ottawa after Vancouver-Quadra MP Joyce Murray’s office invited the duo to screen the film. Four MPs—two of them from the Conservative Party—attended the screening along with Liberal Justice and Human Rights critic Irwin Cotler. “It doesn’t even seem real that MPs are taking (the documentary) so seriously—it’s weird, I don’t know how else to explain it,” said Scorgie “We knew once we finished the film that it could actually change things and

NEWS ▼ COUNCIL
Noisy engines to roar on Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Kelowna Mounties say they’re not ready to enforce any city-based bylaw aimed at dulling the roar of boat and bike engines. But local politicians aren’t willing to let the issue go just yet. “I am troubled by rescinding the noise bylaw,” said Coun. Luke Stack, at Monday council meeting when a motion was introduced to fall in line with the police force’s position, and backtrack on the first three readings of the bylaw introduced last August. “This is an issue we’ve heard about many times by people in the community, regarding noisy bikes downtown and noisy boats on the lake,” said Stack.
“This was brought forth by Supt. Bill McKinnon, and he indicated getting the (required) decibel readers was achievable. I was under the belief it would be implementable by this summer.” Had the bylaw been adopted, McKinnon had told council his officers would be ready this summer to monitor vehicle sounds. Any engine producing 92 decibels of sound while idling or 96 decibels while driving would result in a hefty financial penalty. The plan, however, was put on hold until a public education campaign could be rolled out and decibel readers and police training put in place. Before those measures got underway, how-
ever, McKinnon learned the provincial government was looking to implement a similar policy, so the push to snuff out noise at the city level was cast aside. That rationale, however, clearly didn’t resonate with city councillors, who said they’d like a better explanation, considering the province was working on a similar law last year when they moved ahead with a city based initiative. Coun. Robert Hobson said he wasn’t confident the province would come forward with a solution to noisy engines in the near future. Council will request McKinnon make a council appearance to explain the change in tack. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
Fat Cat Festival parade goers brave the rain
▼ ACCIDENTS
Chief says fire truck first response a good deal for city Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Concerns over the cost and efficiency of a system that sends Kelowna Fire fighters to medical emergencies ahead of ambulance paramedics, were largely laid to rest Monday afternoon. “I have here five situations that we pulled from our records in 2011, where we used an automated external defibrillator,” said fire chief Jeffrey Carlisle, during Monday’s city council meeting. “(Patients) didn’t have pulse when we arrived, but they did when we passed them over (to the paramedics).” Although those five lives were a compelling testimonial about the suc-
cess of the system, city council was also swayed by another number. Having fire trucks dispatched to medical emergencies, like respiratory problems, bleeding or cardiac arrest, on a discretionary basis, rings in at a bargain basement cost of $64,500 a year. That covers wear and tear of fire trucks, medical supplies and training. Overall, Carlisle said it shows the first medical response program is of “high public value and low public cost.” Coun. Gerry Zimmermann, a former Kelowna Fire Department chief, went one step further, saying he thought it was one of the most valuable services the city offers. “If you’re out in the
Mission, your chance of getting a fire truck before an ambulance is just about 100 per cent.” he said. “The service is very valuable. But what I question is the financing and the administration of it.” Zimmermann explained that medical response services are supposed to be funded by the province but there are no dollars directed to the local program from that branch of government. “It’s the right thing to do but there are discussions we need to have in the future,” he said. It may also make sense to see the administrative duties of fire and ambulance one day amalgamate, added Zimmermann. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
THE RAIN last Saturday didn’t douse the spirit behind the annual Fat Cat Children’s Festival parade in downtown Kelowna. It officially opened the two-day family festival at Waterfront Park over the weekend.

Picking up bark to turn into sculptures, he noted he might be the only one happy to see the water churning up the forest. Over the 24 hours preceding his scavenging excursion, some 5,000 sand bags were distributed to property owners along both Mill Creek and Misson Creek. Flow in Mission Creek peaked at 90 cubic metres of water per second— close to the all time high. At that rate, an Olympic-sized swimming pool would fill in less than half a minute. As such, residents of Radant Road, near Lakeshore Road, were sandbagging all weekend. A new dike in the area was said to be performing well, protecting several homes and businesses from flooding; although, Bulman Road had to be closed to the public with sandbagging still under-
way Monday. Businesses on Adams Road and Commerce Avenue were on alert and there was some threat of field saturation at the Kelowna International Airport as of press time. Both Short’s Creek, on the Fintry Delta, and Dave’s Creek, in the Central Okanagan East Electoral Area, were also on alert. Okanagan Lake, though at full pool, was not expected to peak until next week. Due to flooding and high water levels in Mill Creek, the regional district has closed Mill Creek Regional Park. The 15.3-hectare park is located in Ellison just off Spencer Road. The rain-swollen creek has flooded the access road and parking area as well as possibly affecting trails and some bridge infrastructure. The park will remain closed until Parks Services staff can assess the im-

pact the flooding has had on the trails and bridges that cross Mill Creek. Late Monday afternoon, a nine kilometre section of the Mission Creek Greenway was reopened to the public. The stretch between the Hollywood Road South parking lot entrance to Scenic Canyon Regional Park and the Field Road parking area near Gallagher’s Canyon were closed Sunday due to high creek water levels. “While the creek is still flowing fast and high, water levels have dropped allowing our Parks Services staff to check the entire length of the second phase of the Greenway recreational trail,” said regional district spokesman Bruce Smith. “There are a few sections along the creek where the bank has been eroded from (Sunday’s) rising water. These have been fenced off and, for their safety, we ask Greenway users to stay out of any fenced off and closed areas.” The Greenway trail underpass remains closed at the Casorso Road bridge and on the south side of the Gordon Drive bridge. Anyone noticing flooding is asked to call Regional Fire Dispatch at 250-469-8801.

Plans to build a group home on Hall Road were stymied Monday, when Kelowna city council decided size does matter. Councillors were introduced to a proposed housing agreement to facilitate a building permit that would see Klassen Ventures build a 17,500-square-foot, 10-bedroom group home for seniors. Group homes are permitted on properties zoned for country residential lots, like the one on Hall Road. However, the size of the project gave them cause to cl for a special meeting to gather public input from the neighbouring residents.
“I feel there needs to be some sort of public engagement on this,� said Coun. Colin Basran. “I’d like to see this on a Tuesday evening, (and) not (be) about use, but about size.� The project is on a property that could potentially be subdivided into three smaller lots, and some questions about whether that would put too much density in the area were raised. “We’d be criticized if the public didn’t have the opportunity to speak about this,� said Coun. Robert Hobson. “It’s not just a little house, it’s a large purpose built structure.� Council passed a motion to organize a meeting for area residents to air their concerns on the issue.

Auxiliary constable graduate and class spokeswoman Dana Peters fought to hold back her emotions as she addressed the other 18 auxiliary constables who graduated Saturday at the Brigadier Angle Armoury Drill Hall. “I apologize for my tears, but they are tears of joy,” Peters told her fellow graduates. “On March 3 of this year, 22 strangers met and started a journey that would change their lives.” According to Peters, this year’s auxiliary troop began with 22 members, but a few dropped out of the program early. The 19 people that stayed went above and beyond the call of duty. “We as a troop not only decided to extend our hours every Saturday for 13 weeks, but we also incorporated a few Sundays,” said Peters. “The dedication shown by every member of this troop is something that we should all be very proud of.” Kelowna RCMP Supt. Bill McKinnon said the the Kelowna Auxiliary Constable Program is incredibly important to the city. “Last year our auxiliary constables worked over 10,000 hours at the Kelowna detachment, which is one of the busiest in Canada,” said McKinnon. “We’ve had sizeable increases in terms of resources, but we still count on our auxiliary constables to provide the service to our community that citizens have become accustomed to.” Along the journey, the auxiliary constables learned the incident management intervention model, traffic control, criminal law, defensive tactics and were given the experience of being pepper sprayed. “We were invited to participate in receiving a taser strike and getting pepper sprayed, which we all did not enjoy very much—both were a learning experience that I appreciate but would not recommend to others,” said Peters. McKinnon said that the Auxiliary Constable Program in B.C. is over 50 years old. “Originally the program fell under the Provincial Civil Defence Pro-

Upgrades coming to B.C.’s worst road Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
New pullouts and 5.5 kilometres of road resurfacing are the latest steps that the province is taking to improve the safety of Westside Road. The project will cost the province $1.35 million and will be completed by late fall. “It’s a start,” said West-
side-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart. “I think it’s pretty clear that the magnitude of rebuilding Westside Road is in the neighbourhood of hundreds of millions of dollars. “The reality is that our first priority is to improve the existing road.” The portions that will be improved are: Near La Casa, starting 400 metres
north of Barcelona Road and continuing north for one kilometre; near Parker Cove, starting 400 metres south of Whiteman Creek Bridge and continuing north for 1.5 kilometres; near Little Kingdom, starting 700 metres south of Six Mile Road and continuing north for 2.9 kilometres. “These are the most targeted, specific safe-
ty improvements that the government can deal with in term of its financial ability,” Stewart said. “We made improvements last year, this year we’re making more and there are further announcements to be made on this corridor, hopefully in the coming months.” Three new pullouts for slow-moving vehicles and highway signage improvements will also be made this year. “The vehicle pullouts will give recreational vehicles the chance
to move over so traffic doesn’t back up…the signage is for (drivers’) own safety to not overdrive the road.” Westside Road was named B.C.’s worst stretch of pavement in the British Columbia Automobile Association’s 2012 campaign to identify the worst road in the province. Stewart said that these improvements have been in the works for some time and are not a reaction to the survey. Murray Tekano, district manager for the B.C.
WADE PATERSON/CAPITAL NEWS
WESTSIDE-KELOWNA MLA Ben Stewart stands next to sign that will be on display to Westside Road traffic, indicating that the road will be seeing some improvements made to it this summer at a cost of $1.35 million.
Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, said that sharp curves and pavement width are the top concerns that most people have with Westside Road. He added that barriers may be part of future improvements to the road. “Roadside barriers are usually set on asphalt. They absorb energy when something hits them by moving the barrier instead of putting all that energy into the vehicle,” Tekano said. “So to put down a roadside barrier, we have to have a wide enough road width that the barrier can be put on it. Where we can do widening like that, then we would do that. But we’re also looking at alternate barrier systems.” He said the ministry may look at using cable barrier systems along Westside Road. But, he added, to do so will require some engineering reviews.

KELOWNA filmmaker Adam Scorgie standing outside the Parliament buildings in Ottawa where his documentary about marijuana, The Union: The Business Behind Getting High, has been resonating with Members of Parliament.
Documentary finds an audience MPs from A1 open people’s minds, but we never thought we’d be invited to this kind of political platform. According to Scorgie, it was Cotler’s son who urged his father to watch the film. He added that Cotler’s son used to be strongly against the legalization of marijuana; however, his view changed after watching The Union. “The Liberal Party is looking at what they’re calling the most sensible legalization bill to ever be passed in Canada. They want it to be a bipartisan issue.” Since the trip to Parliament Hill, Scorgie has received e-mails requesting boxes of his DVDs to be handed out to various MPs throughout the country. “There is a chance that if this bill goes through next year that The Union
will have played a part in the education process for how they draft the bill. It could literally affect history in some small way… “We were ahead of our time.” Now Scorgie and Harvey are refocusing their efforts on The Culture High, a sequel to The Union. “The Union really covered the business side and focused a lot on Canada and North America. The Culture High is going to look at a much more global perspective—how there seems to be a culture shift in the way people are looking at cannabis prohibition.” The crew behind The Culture High will be launching a Kickstarter campaign June 20 with the hope of raising $190,000 for a theatrical release of the new documentary. “If 10 per cent of our Facebook followers were
to pre-buy a copy of the film, we would get it into 50 to 100 theatres across North America. “If we hit this goal, right off the bat we will be the largest funded Canadian documentary on Kickstarter in the company’s history.” If all goes according to plan, Scorgie thinks a 2013 release is possible. Scorgie said that he’s excited about the potential of the planned documentary. “We’re much better as filmmakers, we’ve got access to way more footage and bigger clientele and we have a new spin on the way we’re going to tell this story.” Scorgie said that the recent Parliament Hill visit is going to be used in the Kickstarter promotional video and will likely be a part of The Culture High final product.

We all need a break in February
I
t’s official. Get ready to put your work tools down– be they a hammer, pen, or serving tray–and spend more time with your kin next February as the B.C. government has announced the latest statutory holiday, Family Day, is scheduled for the second week of the month. In this case, Feb. 11 is the date. It’s also the date Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington, fellow independent MLA Bob Simpson, and newly minted B.C.
Tory John van Dongen say is too costly for the economy to bear. They believe the government is wrong to offer the people something plenty of other parts of the country already enjoy—a much-needed break in a dreary and dark winter month. Van Dongen says the holiday will not create a single new job. Was it supposed to? It will cost the business community in B.C. an estimated $62 million and place increased pressure on budgets–especially those run-
ning a small business he says. Well, that’s assuming everyone enjoying the break stays at home and asks meekly for another lump of coal for the fire. But what do many of us do on a long weekend? Those keen on hitting the malls will do just that—and plenty of retail operations will likely be more than willing to entice them to shop with some keen price promotions. Some of us will dine out, and some outdoor-minded folk may head to the slopes of local ski
hills. All of that will add up to some economic activity. But the biggest return from all of this isn’t the money we spend on food, entertainment, consumer goods, or outdoor recreation. It’s the theme of the holiday that should pay dividends here. It will provide families stressed by the hectic pace of school, work and other activities the opportunity to spend some quality time with each other. British Columbians need a break, and one with family makes sense.

Greenhouse gas reduction goals appear to be abandoned
I
n February, this column asked the question: “Are B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets history?” The answer is contained in a new draft plan from BC Hydro on how to meet future power demand. And while it’s not explicitly stated, the answer is yes. The draft plan was released in May for discussion purposes, but so far there hasn’t been much discussion. This is surprising given some of the recommendations, such as firing
up the Burrard Thermal natural gas power plant more often and buying fossil fuel power from the North American market to keep up to demand. The plan confirms Tom Fletcher a few things that have been evident for a while. Dreams of exporting B.C. hydroelectric power are gone for the foreseeable future. And with mining ramping up along with natural gas development and population growth, BC Hydro now projects electricity demand could rise by 50 per cent over the next 20 years.
VICTORIA VIEWS
The emergence of huge shale gas sources in B.C. and across the United States has changed the North American energy picture dramatically, as U.S. electricity producers replace coal by burning cheaper and cleaner gas to ramp up power production. B.C. is losing gas market share in the U.S., its only export customer for heating fuel and electricity use. Former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate goals officially remain in place: 33 per cent greenhouse gas reduction by 2020 and a whopping 80 per cent by 2050. If the gas boom proceeds as planned, B.C. domestic emissions will not be down, but up considerably by 2020.
Premier Christy Clark has a new target for 2020: three liquefied natural gas production lines feeding highpressure tankers at Kitimat, for export to Asia. Not only will B.C. need to buy gas-fired power from outside the province to keep up to industrial and residential demand, but the natural gas industry will need its own new gas-fired electricity to produce LNG for export. Natural gas passed forestry as B.C.’s top resource revenue source many years ago. In 2005, the volatile gas price spiked up and produced $1 billion in windfall profits that allowed the B.C. government to buy a rare period of public sector labour peace through the
2010 Olympics. Now a glut of shale gas has pushed the North American price down from its historic range of $4 to $6 per thousand cubic feet to about $2.40. Despite that low price, gas producers in B.C. are going flat out to develop the Horn River and Montney shale gas deposits in northeast B.C. I asked David Pryce, vicepresident of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, why so much gas is being developed now. He said producers have made huge investments in B.C. shale gas drilling rights, and are in an inter-

LETTERS
HAPPY SHACKS GARDEN SHEDS
▼ WESTSIDE
To the editor: I for one certainly agree with, and applaud, Capital News columnist Charlie Hodge. In his column of Friday, June 1, he stated: “…that the billboards strewn along both sides of Highway 97 through West Kelowna and rounding Bridge Hill stand out like
a tacky sore thumb.” He also stated: “It struck me sad that such a fabulous drive through remarkable landscape could be so tastelessly trashed by a wall of tacky signs. How sad.” My question is why do all advertising businesses want to contribute to making this such an eye sore
when it could be so beautiful? I do not understand why these businesses are not satisfied with normal means of advertising rather than polluting such a potential beautiful approach to our city. Shirley Hubick, Kelowna
▼ DEVELOPMENT
Orderly process is how we roll To the editor: As someone who was born in the Okanagan, maybe I can help your recent letter writer Andy Warren with his puzzlement over our seeming condescension toward newcomers and their ideas. I don’t believe we are unwelcoming at all but what we don’t like is busloads of people coming from out of town to an Official Community Plan meeting to lobby for something we don’t want. There are several rea-
sons why I’m against the Kelowna Mountain project. First, I dislike developers who do things prior to receiving approval. I don’t think the ski hill and towers, suspension bridge or lake should’ve been constructed, and then approval sought after the fact. Can you imagine if we all behaved like that? Second, I believe a year-round snowboard facility at that low altitude will require artificial snow, hence a lot of our precious lake water. A fur-
ther 1,200 homes and a golf course would equally stress the lake. I think it would come as a surprise to someone new to the valley, who looks at the huge lake and thinks this is an infinite resource, that on average Okanagan Lake only fills 1.5 metres per year. If too much demand is placed on the lake, it can never be replaced. I would urge everyone to go to the Okanagan Basin Water Board’s site, www.obwb. ca, to learn how finite our lake systems are.
Third, I can’t see how developers making a huge profit, with more people employed in tourism at minimum wage, is a boon to this town. I think clean, sustainable, year-round well-paying jobs make a lot more ecological sense. So it’s not newcomers or their ideas we don’t welcome, it’s their poorly thought-out ideas, begun without community consultation, with which we have the problem. Moni Schiller, Kelowna
EI funding sacrificed Snakes don’t make to general revenue loyal political pets To the editor: Re: Robert Smithson’s column about Employment Insurance reform in the Capital News, May 29/2012 Mr. Smithson refers to “the financial burden EI benefits place on the public purse” and “EI is the price we all pay as Canadians.” All employees and employers in Canada pay into the EI plan, therefor it is not all Canadians who pay. I’m sure Mr. Smithson must realize that a few years ago (I can’t remember the exact date), the government took part of the surplus in the EI fund and transferred it to general revenue. Had that money not been taken inthe first place, there would be plenty of reserve left in the fund and the “reform” would not be necessary. A small percentage of unemployed persons are eligible for benefits—even without reform. It almost seems that certain parts of the country are being singled out to take the brunt of the so-called reforms. Faye Saxon, Kelowna
To the editor: After recently reading the content of letters to the editor in a recent issue of the Capital News, I have come up with the following conclusion. Dealing with the government is like raising a pet snake. We spend a lot of time caring and feeding our government until it is growing fine. Then, all of a sudden it turns on you and bites you. We try to raise a different breed of snake, but it ends up doing the same thing. So that process is a never ending problem, leading me to think that perhaps the answer is to quit trying to raise snakes. I have lived in Canada all of my life, and watched this scenario so many times. Raising snakes is not one of my hobbies. I am now staying away from the election process so that I do not produce snakes any more, as so many of them will bite once they grow up. Growing strawberries in my garden is more rewarding as I can eat them. Ron Barnard, West Kelowna
To the editor: This letter is to those walking wastes of skin that roam the streets of Kelowna with their dogs. Recently, I observed three separate piles of “dog doo” on the sidewalks in the 300 to 500 blocks of Bernard Avenue. I have to wonder what kind of classless, ignorant person would allow their mutt to do that and then just walk away. Apparently there are several of you out there, as I’ve observed this quite often in other areas of the city. It’s no wonder people have issues with so many of you dog owners and your perceived sense of entitlement. It’s bad enough that this happens along pathways and trails, but on main city streets? If you can’t pick up after your dog, then you really shouldn’t have one. The city is also partially to blame in this disgusting trend for not adequately enforcing animal control bylaws. Is dog crap on the sidewalk and along our beaches really the image you want to put forward to the tourists now starting to arrive in town? Or at any time for that matter? I realize it’s a crummy thing to ask of the city street workers to pick up someone else’s mess, but it goes with the territory. K. Ross, Kelowna

national race to supply LNG to Asian countries where the price is currently four times higher than in North America. Whatever the domestic price, B.C. gas producers have to show LNG investors such as Mitsubishi and Korea Gas that they can fill a steady procession of LNG tankers at a competitive rate. If LNG doesn’t fly here, B.C.’s gas export market soon evaporates. Currently gas producers pay about $400 million a year in royalties, and that much again to buy up shale gas drilling rights.
The industry already employs about 12,000 workers in B.C. The B.C. government has little choice but to redefine its climate targets. Instead of cutting domestic emissions, it will try to take credit for displacing coal power in Asia. Fortunately, B.C.’s main coal exports are for high-grade coal used in steel-making.

â–ź NUTRITION
Maintaining a healthy dose of needed vitamins and minerals “Our food should be our medicine and our medicine should be our food.� —Hippocrates
G
ood nutrition is important at every age. Eating well helps you feel your best, and can help prevent heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and various types of cancer. As we age, we need to eat less food, but the same amount (or even more) of certain vitamins and minerals. The key to healthy eating is planning your food choices and meals. Plan for three meals and one to three small snacks daily. Skipping any meal, but especially breakfast, will make it difficult to get all the nutrients you need each day. Meal skipping also slows your metabolism and makes you feel sluggish, and prone to making poor food choices later in the day. The four food groups are still the same: Vegetables and fruit, milk and alternatives, meat and alternatives, and grain products. Vegetables and fruits now replace grain products in the outer ring of the rainbow, emphasizing larger portions of this food group over grain products. Plan your meals around vegetables, fruit, and grain products. These foods should cover about 2/3 of your plate. Choose dark green, bright yellow and orange vegetables and fruit more often, as they contain the most nutrients, anti-oxidants and fiber. Good choices include spinach, broccoli, yams, squash, carrots, oranges, cantaloupe and peaches. The remaining 1/3 of the plate should be filled with protein rich foods such as dairy products, chicken, fish, meat, tofu, eggs or beans. Seniors need about 0.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight. Simply divide your bodyweight in half to know how many grams
FITNESS FOR SENIORS
Bobbi Kittle you need . Be smart with your carbs and choose whole grains over processed white flour for more nutrients and a higher fiber count. Limit foods and beverages that are high in calories, fat, sugar and salt, such as: jam, candies, chocolate, cakes, pies, pastries, cookies, deepfried foods, fast foods, chips . Important vitamins and minerals: Water—seniors are prone to dehydration because we lose some of our ability to regulate fluid levels, and our sense of thirst is dulled with age. Post a note in your kitchen reminding you to sip water every hour, and with meals, to avoid urinary tract infections, constipation, and possibly confusion Calcium—aging bone
health depends on adequate calcium intake to prevent osteoporosis and bone fractures. Seniors need 1,200 mg of calcium a day. Get yours through milk, yogurt, cheese, tofu, broccoli, almonds, and kale. Vitamin B—after age 50, the stomach produces less gastric acid, making it difficult to absorb vitamin B12. This vitamin is needed to help keep blood and nerves vital. Get the recommended daily intake (2.4 mcg) of B12 from fortified foods or a vitamin supplement. Vitamin D—we get most of our vitamin D intake (essential for absorbing calcium) through sun exposure and certain foods (fatty fish, egg yolk, and fortified milk). With age, our skin is less efficient at synthesizing vitamin D. Canada’s Food Guide suggests adults age 50+ take a daily vitamin D supplement of (400 IU). Many doctors recommend 1,000 IU daily. For seniors there may be obstacles to healthy eating including difficulty chewing, loss of appe-
tite, medication side effects, and lifestyle changes which may find folks eating alone. Check with your doctor to see if your loss of appetite is due to a medication, or even something as simple as feeling lonely or blue. Drink smoothies with fruit, yogurt and protein powder to overcome chewing issues; as well as eating steamed veggies and soft foods like rice, couscous or mashed potatoes. Don’t be shy about asking a friend or family member for help with shopping, cooking and meal planning. You can also take advantage of meal home delivery services, or even hire a homemaker. For more information on eating well, planning meals, caloric guidelines, recipes and more, check out Dieticians of Canada or The Canada Food Guide for Seniors. Bobbi Kittle is the owner of Pursuit Fitness and is a seniors’ fitness specialist.

Graham Group donates to KGH Graham Group Ltd., the design and construction company in charge of the Vernon and Kelowna hospital expansions, gives back with a $100,000 donation to the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation’s Take Care, Take Part Campaign. This gift will help support the purchase of stateof-the-art equipment for the Ambulatory Care unit in KGH’s new Centennial Building.
“The new and streamlined ambulatory care department will provide space to bring all day surgery procedures together into one area of the hospital and enable staff to improve efficiencies in all procedures,” said Dr. Sandy Nash, physician manager of ambulatory care and member of the Campaign Cabinet. “These improvements in turn should reduce waiting times for tests, di-
agnosis, treatments and rehabilitation, enabling patients to return to the comfort of their home for a faster and less stressful recovery process.” With a rapidly growing population in the Okanagan, and over 56,000 patients treated in KGH’s ambulatory care department last year alone, Graham’s generosity will make a tangible impact on the lives of many Okanagan residents, said Nash.

“Community involvement is an integral part of Graham’s culture. We are committed to actively supporting the many communities where we live and work,” said Grant Beck, president and chief executive officer of the Graham Group Ltd. As Kelowna General Hospital’s new facilities are opened, the KGH Foundation is nearing the final stretch of their Take Care, Take Part Campaign. The campaign is raising $6 million to support the purchase of state-ofthe-art equipment needed to advance the quality of patient care in the new Centennial Building and to support the transition of KGH to a full teaching hospital. To find out more about how you can help to improve the quality of health care in the Okanagan, visit the website www.kghfoundation.com.

But there’s no question that most of the headlines are generated during the legislative session. This spring 2012 session was no different.

new Centennial Building and Dr. Walter Anderson Building at Kelowna General Hospital. This will help provide modern care for thousands more local patients and families for years to come. By anyone’s definition, the $218 million Centennial Building and $39 million Anderson Building are significant investments in Kelowna. The premier was busy on her visit to the Central

to stop by a “Free My Grapes” rally in Penticton in support of MP Dan Albas’ Private Member’s Bill C-311 that allows the importation of wine across provincial boundaries for personal consumption within guidelines established by provinces. This is a change that is long overdue. From Community Recreation Grants to infrastructure investments, there were too many other announcements to list in this space. But to give you an idea of the variety, here are two examples. Our government granted title of approximately 2.69 hectares of Crown land at Powers Creek to the District of West Kelowna. The plant is integral to ensuring the health, sustainability and long-term growth of the West Kelowna town centre and surrounding areas. We also opened a new multi-use pathway along Highway 33. It adds another major piece to Kelowna’s growing alternative transportation network. Again, the list can and does go on. My own ministry, Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations, was no less busy. We passed the Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Statutes Amendment Act, which modernizes and improves other existing legislation. For example, the amendment to the Occupiers’ Liability Act reduces third-party liability on resource roads for both government and those who maintain resource roads. This will reduce the number of resource roads closed because of thirdparty liability concerns. An amendment to the Wildfire Act clarifies obligations to reduce wildfire hazards when a secondary tenure is issued. This will result in slash materials being used more quickly for bio-energy purposes, ultimately reducing wildfire risk. In both Kelowna and Victoria, staff worked tirelessly to bring about these changes. That’s why I chose to run for office, and it’s very gratifying to see that hard work come to fruition. Steve Thomson is the Liberal MLA for Kelowna-Mission.

The death knell for human resources professionals A
B.C. SPCA volunteer president Marylee Davies with Kevin Edgecombe of Kelowna, the 2012 winner of the SPCA Philanthropist of theYear award.

Local builder honoured for his philanthropy Kevin Edgecombe has helped the Kelowna branch of the B.C. SPCA literally from the groundup. As owner of a successful home and commercial building company, Edgecombe Builders, he has been an integral part of an extensive renovation of the Kelowna animal schelter. Edgecombe was honored for his generosity with a philanthropist of the year award at a special ceremony held on June 1 in Vancouver. “During the renovation, Kevin’s participation went above and beyond. He was able to leverage his business relationships to secure in-kind services and product which significantly reduced the cost of the project,” said Marni Adams, B.C. SPCA fund-
raising support manager. Edgecombe is also a long-standing presenting sponsor for the Kelowna SPCA branch’s annual golf fundraiser. His support for this event extends to include his participation in the event committee, as well as helping to secure other sponsors, auction packages and prizes. “Kevin’s involvement in the event has contributed to us raising $280,000 for the Kelowna branch in the past five years,” Adams said. “We couldn’t do it without him.” Including the upcoming tournament this month, Edgecombe has been a presenting sponsor for his sixth year. Edgecombe was first introduced to the B.C. SPCA Kelowna branch in
2007. Since then, he has also supported the shelter by making donations and purchasing auction packages while attending their annual gala. The Kelowna branch staff, volunteers and animals are all greatly appreciative for Edgecombe’s ongoing commitment and generosity, added Adams. The B.C. SPCA Awards Program honours both people and animals who have made outstanding contributions to animal welfare during the past year. Recipients include veterinarians, staff, volunteers and animal heroes. The non-profit SPCA cares for nearly 32,000 abused, abandoned, injured and neglected animals each year in British Columbia.
recent article in the Globe and Mail’s careers section caused me to do a triple-take. The article quoted studies indicating that the more an organization seeks to be undiscriminating and merit-based in its employment practices, the less likely it is to achieve those objectives. If that’s truly the case, one can only wonder how human resources professionals will feel about the security of their jobs. After all, introducing policies and procedures aimed at limiting discrimination and emphasizing merit is a significant aspect of what they do. Leah Eichler’s column, entitled “You can’t get ahead on mer-
YOU WORK it alone,” asserted that idea of a so-called HERE the meritocracy doesn’t
correspond with the realities of the business world. It cited the onRobert going role of unconSmithson scious prejudices (gender, racial, etc.) in the modern workplace. That wasn’t overly shocking to me and wouldn’t be to anyone who makes 21st century workplaces their focus. But the information Eichler cited along the way certainly was. She referred to a 2010 study called “The Paradox of Meritocracy in Organizations” published by the Administrative Science Quarterly. The study involved asking managers to evaluate employees in fictitious settings.
Wine industry partners with college The wine tourism industry is ensuring Okanagan College’s Viticulture students receive some extra fruit for their educational labour. The Okanagan Wine Festivals Society has collaborated with TricorBraun WinePak to provide an annual $1,000 award to a student enrolled full-time in the college’s viticulture certificate program at the Penticton campus. Eric von Krosigk, chair of the Okanagan Wine Festivals Society, said the award illustrates its full-spectrum support for the industry here in the Okanagan—from the vine to the wine. “There is an old adage that we cannot make great
wine unless we grow great grapes,” said von Krosigk, who is also the winemaker and viticulturist at Summerhill Pyramid Winery. “With this type of bursary, we underscore the importance of viticulture to our wine industry.” TricorBraun WinePak, a division of the century old international packaging company, has been supplying the North American wine industry with top quality bottles since 1982. “Our company fervently supports the education of new talent to ensure the sustainability of the grape growing practices in British Columbia,” said Heidi Cook, TricorBraun’s sales manager for the Pacific Northwest.
“We hope that the recipient goes on to a successful career.” Kathy Butler, executive director of the Okanagan College Foundation, expressed her gratitude for the two organizations collaborating to create the award. “Establishing an award like this will make a real difference for Viticulture students who show both academic ability and financial need,” Butler said. With this contribution, there are now five annual $1,000 awards provided by the Okanagan Wine Festivals Society to Okanagan College students who are enrolled in various programs necessary to a thriving wine and food region—from the culinary

The results demonstrated that, in an organization in which fairness was emphasized in promotion and compensation decisions, men received larger bonuses than women despite having achieved identical evaluation results. The weird thing is that this phenomenon did not occur in an organization which did not emphasize fairness and merit. Even stranger to me were the comments of Dr. Emilio Castilla, with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He cited other studies on cognitive bias in situations in which managers were guided to feel unbiased, fair and objective. In those situations, according to Dr. Castilla, individuals are more likely to behave in a biased manner.

Blair Baldwin, who is a professor with the OC Okanagan School of Business and project manager for the Okanagan Wine Festivals Society, said incorporating viticulture into the awards program simply makes sense. “We are a young industry and understand the critical importance of the science of viticulture,” Baldwin said. “With a flow of new strong viticulturists in the field, we will continue to maintain our stellar reputation for our wine region.” For more information regarding the award, contact the Okanagan College Foundation at 250-8625630.

Maintaining the balancing act of entrepreneurship B ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young place for the things they want to do. But they must realize and accept that with growth comes a need for process and accountability, which often will stifle that culture. Sure, we continue to find creative ways to meet the demands of a growing entrepreneurial venture and yet still desire some playful atmosphere we’ve all come to love. Company culture isn’t just about cool coffee machines and occasional brought in TimBits is it? Balancing our entrepreneurial roller coaster is centred on a mutual understanding that we believe we’ve got something special that can’t be taken away. It’s a trust that everyone in our team is part
of a family, and together we make a difference for both our clients and ourselves—no matter what our journey is comprised of. No matter how hectic things get, we must always remember it’s not the company that makes the people, it’s the people that undoubtedly make the company. Genuine entrepreneurs the world over acknowledge this resounding fact loudly. I would like to offer some suggestions that the chief executive officer of an Okanagan venture shared with me quite recently about work-life balance for textbook entrepreneurs. Ponder these gems from experience:
TAKE A MENTAL STEP BACK When the pile of papers and related work on your desk seems like it will topple over at any moment, get up from your chair, take a walk and let the fresh Okanagan air bath your face for a few moments. Then unplug your-
self from your electronics, emails and social media for 10 minutes to gather your thoughts. Often as entrepreneur venture owners, we get so connected to all those things we convince ourselves we must do and all the people we must keep in communication with that we can easily lose sight of the real joyful experiences of entrepreneurial pursuit. Give yourself the freedom to take a mental step back and refresh your mind to give yourself a gift of restored vigor and inspire enhanced productiveness.
you seem insurmountable. Get in touch with those powerful networks you worked so long and hard to amass and find yourself a wonderful virtual assistant or even an intern who wants to learn the ropes. Then delegate, delegate, delegate…until it all gets done and you’re off the tightrope walk. You’ll invariably find more time to go after new business challenges and less likely to stay up all night trying to go it alone.
ASK FOR HELP
ENTREPRENEURS
This element has got to be the most difficult for some entrepreneurs to admit—that he or she actually needs help. First, leaders got to where they are by asking for help whenever things in their world got overwhelming. Everyone needs to seek the services, support and encouragement of others when tasks before
BE GREEN WITH THE UNITED
to cope with the balancing act of being an entrepreneur is to seek out the feedback, encouragement and advice of other similar entrepreneurs. There are tons of local Okanagan business networking groups such as our Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society as well as those found in places via social media like LinkedIn and Meetups. Find others who share your vision and get together for coffee talks for goal setting or simply, brainstorming sessions. When you are around others, you will feed off their creativity, ideas and innovative thought which helps you to be a better entrepreneurial owner. You’ll be turned on to new resources and support which will fuel your growth over time. Give your mind and

elieve it or not, about 99 per cent of all entrepreneurs will feel overwhelmed at some point when managing a new or existing business venture. So what can a person do if they get to the point of being overwhelmed? There are some suggestions that I want to share with you from a fellow solopreneur who’s been there with us a time or two and lives to talk about it. But first, I would like to explore the notion that having the right people is the difference between running a good venture and a great one. Even more important is how the right people will help to create the right culture. This ever solidly important to all of us entrepreneurs who juggle every single day our dreams with our daily lives embracing the dream to make a difference in our lives, the lives of those around us and the greater good of our society. For me, a positive company culture is about it’s truly creating an environment that isn’t like work at all. People spend so much time in their new entrepreneurial dream environment, I want them to enjoy it. For example, I have visited the offices of different ventures across North America over the years that include a gourmet kitchen where meals are prepared for lunch and dinner. Poker nights and potluck nights are also not uncommon to create the collegial spirit. I, for one, love that kind of thinking. But let’s not let that culture run away on us and become a real misguided diversion. It’s easy to lose focus on our duties when we are dealing cards or baking lasagna. I have been able to maintain a balance of fun and hard work over the years in Canada sharing the freedom with my associates to enjoy what they do and do best. Keeping the same people in any venture is really important because it is proven fact that time builds trust. As an entrepreneurial venture grows, it becomes harder to balance its roots with the innate desire to become and grow bigger. Business venturists aren’t easily willing to sacrifice the things that got them there in the first

BUSINESS
Keeping a handle on your costs as revenues increase
W
ith the goal to help small business owners read and understand their financial statements, it might be helpful to focus on some business ratios. Since everyone is always concerned with their ‘bottom line,’ let me talk about two of the income statement ratios. I’ll start at the top of the income statement and work my way down. If you have sales (rather than revenues) less cost of sales, you may want to use the gross margin (sales minus cost of sales divided by sales) as a benchmark. Using the gross margin is highly dependent on the coding of the sales items and the cost of sales items. The business owner needs to determine what items are going to be their ‘regular’ sales and their cost categories associated
BEHIND THE COUNTER
Gabriele Banka with those sales. For example, if you receive a commission kickback from your supplier, is that really income as it relates to regular sales? For the purposes of determining the actual gross margin, some would say that it is not. On the cost side, you would want to collect all the costs that are incurred to produce that product. These items are purchase costs, wage costs, freight costs, for example. But, if you lump all your wage costs together and you have some management wages. Would those manage-
ment wages be considered to be a true cost of sales? These are the questions that you need to ask yourself when setting this up. If you decide to try out a new product and end up selling that product close to cost, and decide that you will not sell that product again, that will affect your gross margin percentage. So you might want to include that in miscellaneous income/expense or another category that does not affect the gross margin calculation. Writedowns of obsolete inventory also will affect the gross margin but must still be included in cost of sales. To get the right classifications may take a business period or two to figure out, but once you have it set, it should be pretty standard and not need adjustment. What will cause some
issue are those items where it may be hard to determine if they are part of the cost of sales or just regular operating costs. If you use a bookkeeper or a bookkeeping service, you will need to make sure that they understand your rationale for allocating items to sales and the various expense categories. Then you would analyze your statements looking at the total sales from year to year to determine if they have increased by the percentage from year to year that you have expected them to increase. Of course, when sales increase the related expenses also increase. I have seen some companies have a huge growth in sales, but double the expenses, caused because the current production

He stated that in organizations promoting meritocracy as a cultural value— by guiding managers to feel unbiased, fair, or objective—managers are “more likely to express individual bias toward women and racial minorities when making employment decisions.” What that says to me is that the more managers are pushed to act in a particular manner, the less likely it is to happen. And it makes me wonder what
the actual impact is of all the hard efforts of human resources professionals who pursue the desirable objectives of a fair, unbiased, merit-based workplace. According to Dr. Castilla, the solution to reducing discrimination seems to be to stop promoting merit and fairness and objectivity and, instead, to introduce “organizational practices and structures aimed at increasing transparency and accountability.” What that really points

to, I figure, is that the way to discourage unwanted behavior such as discrimination is to set the system up so that it can’t happen without the perpetrator being caught. That suggests that we are motivated more by fear of being caught than by a desire to do the right thing. So, if you want your organization to move beyond discrimination and unfairness, apparently you should stop distributing anti-discrimination policies and conducting employee workshops. You should start setting up systemic checks and balances which reveal the existence of discrimi-
nation and unfairness and then hang the wrongdoers out to dry as an example to others. It’s a somewhat less happy vision of the modern workplace, and one in which the role of human resources professionals —at least as we presently know them—is uncertain.

you can also look at your profit margin percentage to determine if you need to bonus out some wages to stay within the budgeted profits that you have determined for your company. If you are in a loss position and the gross margin percentages look okay, that indicates that your regular administrative expenses are too high. So you would need to look at those accounts in detail and from year to year to make sure that something wasn’t posted incorrectly or to determine what pushed you into the loss and where you can cut back.

ing/advertising expenses divided by total sales to determine if that is reasonable. Most companies six per cent as a rule of thumb. If you spend any more than that, you are probably just wasting your cash. The regular operating expenses probably won’t standardize for a year or so, but after that, they should also be regular. For example, you would pay the same amount of rent every month, the utilities should be close to the same amount every year and steadily increasing. If you did not have sales but only revenues, you would use profit margin (net income before taxes divided by your total revenues). After looking at your gross margin percentage,

system can’t handle the increase in sales. So you would need to streamline your system with a view to making the process more efficient so that the costs come back down. After you determine that your annual sales and costs look reasonable, then you would look at your gross margin ratio and determine if the number is in the percentage range that you had budgeted for. If not, there must be a coding error somewhere, so you would need to look at your sales and cost accounts in detail. Usually marketing and selling expenses are not part of the gross margin, but considered to be more a part of the administration expenses. You can also look at the percentage of market-

Youthful Challenge a work in progress Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
With one of the youngest, most inexperienced rosters in the Pacific Coast Soccer League, the 2012 season has been a work in progress for the Okanagan Challenge. The local menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad remains winless (0-7-1) at the halfway mark of the regular campaign after a pair of losses on its home pitch over the weekend. Still, as much as Dante Zanatta detests the concept of losing, the Challengeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head coach is focused on the bigger picture, and the long-term development of local players. Zanatta and manager Carson Gill made a conscious decision to stock the roster this year predominantly with Okanagan talent, many of them from the UBC Okanagan Heat varsity squad as the two programs work together for the betterment of soccer in the valley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take losing very well as people around
me know, but we have to be realistic,â&#x20AC;? said Zanatta, who also coaches the Heat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a group of 19-year-olds who are just learning how to play at this level, this is a very competitive league. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the past, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had players from all over, down into the States and we chose not to go that way. We want to give our players here a chance to play and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to bode well for the future. Our kids will get experience, and a year or two down the road we should see the results.â&#x20AC;? On Saturday at UBCOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nonis Field, in rainy conditions, the Challenge dropped a 3-2 decision to Coquitlam Metro-Ford. Andrew Hauser and Zach Donaldson-Hall scored for the Challenge who drew even at 2-2 in the 75th minute, only to watch Coquitlam score 35 seconds later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The encouraging thing is we played some good football, we pass the ball around well and
we attack well,â&#x20AC;? said Zanatta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem is the guys just switch off mentally at times. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fault the guys on their work, because that part of the game is certainly there. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re young and inexperienced.â&#x20AC;?

I DONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T TAKE LOSING VERY WELL AS PEOPLE AROUND ME KNOW. Dante Zanatta
On Sunday, Khalsa Sporting Club notched a 6-3 win over the Okanagan squad at Nonis Field. Dave Hill, with a pair, and Zach Donaldson-Hall with his second of the weekend tallied for the Challenge. While making the playoffs are no longer a realistic goal, Zanatta
said there is plenty for his Challenge to play for and to accomplish over the last eight games of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a goal to continue to improve, week in and week out. We want to win the second half of the season.â&#x20AC;? One of the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veteran leaders, Carson Gill, left Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game with a hamstring injury and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return for the remainder of the weekend. Gill is doubtful for this weekend as the Challenge visit the UBC Thunderbirds on Saturday, and Coquitlam on Sunday.

Marris, 21, yielded just two hits and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk a batter in the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home opener before 1,367 fans at Elks Stadium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was huge for him to come back to us this season, he had a great year at university and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carrying that over with us,â&#x20AC;? said Falconsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach Al Cantwell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have all the confidence in him as a pitcher, he has a great arm and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great kid. He really
sets up our rotation nicely, gives us seven strong innings every time and that does a lot for our bullpen. He sets a recipe for success.â&#x20AC;? As a junior at Southeastern Oklahoma this season, Marris was a sparkling 11-4 with a 2.51 ERA. Cantwell said Marris has returned to Kelowna an even better pitcher than when he left in August 2011, and wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised to see the
Colony, Texas native soon garner some big-league attention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an absolute bulldog out there, this kid can pitchâ&#x20AC;? Cantwell added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He needs to get some attention, make the all-star team and be seen by the right people. If the right person sees him, hopefully we can see his name next year in the Major League draft.â&#x20AC;? Equally promising for the Falcons is that Marris had plenty of support
Monday as his teammates rapped out 15 hits. Cantwell believes he has an offense this season with considerably more punch than the one that had trouble scoring timely runs last season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year we were a little undersized, we had guys that could hit but they were really mostly singles hitters,â&#x20AC;? said Cantwell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year we have a little more pop, six or seven guys who are doubles hitters and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excit-
ing. You get a walk and suddenly youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in scoring position. All the way through the order, 1 through 9, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got guys who can hit.â&#x20AC;? The Falcons will close out a three-game series against the Bluejackets tonight (Tuesday) at Elks Stadium, then will host the Cowlitz Black Bears for three games, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Some of the province’s best young soccer players will be showcased in Kelowna next month when the city plays host to the B.C. Girls Provincial B Cup Championships. The four-day event, from July 5 to 8 at the Mission sports fields, will feature 47 rep teams in six divisions—U13 to U18 inclusive. Kelowna United will be represented on the pitch by teams in all divisions, except U17. In all, just under 900 players from all regions of the province will take part, making it one of the largest sports tournaments of its kind staged in B.C. It’s been a significant

3,000 people will visit the city over a four-day period. According to a formula used by Tourism Kelowna, the event could generate in the area of $900,000

On a night when the Kelowna Raiders honoured the memory of one of their former teammates, the Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League club scored a thrilling victory on their home floor. Jared MacLennan scored with six minutes remaining in overtime as the Raiders knocked off the visiting Kamloops Rattlers 8-7 on Friday night at Memorial Arena. Both goaltenders were spectacular with Mike Smith stopping 53 shots for the Rattlers, while Kelowna’s Ryan Brabender blocked 43. In a special ceremony prior to the opening faceoff, the Raiders retired the jersey of the late Dave Bannister, an integral member of Kelowna’s provincial championship teams in 2006 and 2007. Bannister, a tough and skilled player, passed

Tournament honours Blanleil Sr.
A fixture in Kelowna’s fastball community for over three decades will be honoured this weekend with a tournament played in his memory. The Andre Blaneil Sr. Memorial Tournament will be held on Father’s Day weekend, this Friday, June 15, to Sunday, June 17, at Kings Stadium. The six-team event will be hosted by the Kelowna Major Men’s Fastball Association. The late Andre Blanleil Sr. passed away last November after a battle with cancer. Blanleil played fast-
ball locally as a pitcher in the 1960s, then played alongside his three sons— Andre, Rene and Maurice—in the late 1970s. In the mid 1980s, Andre Sr. was the coach of the only senior A fastball team out of Kelowna during that era, Andre’s Panasonics. Andre Jr., Rene and Maurice have all been playing Kelowna major men’s fastball for more than 30 years. Andre Sr.’s grandsons, Kyle, Chad and Travis, all currently play with Andre’s Athletics. “We decided at a
family dinner we wanted to have a tournament to remember him, it just happened to be Father’s Day weekend, so it worked out pretty well,” said Kyle Blanleil. “Kings Stadium has been so much a part of our lives, he (Andre Sr.) played and then coached us later, and we’ve all spent so many hours at the park.” Andre’s Athletics, Westbank Cardinals, Kelowna Colts, Okanagan Merchants, GFX (Penticton) and Fleetwood Jr Marlins will be among the teams competing.
On Saturday at 5 p.m., a sign will be unveiled at the stadium in honour of Andre Sr. Organizers are inviting any current or former players, or anyone who knew Andre to attend the ceremony. The tournament final will be played Sunday at noon. There will be a raffle table, 50/50 draw, barbecue and beer gardens during the tournament, all at Kings Stadium. For more information on the tournament, visit andresfastball.com, or call Kyle at 250- 215-2345.

Javelin and discus medals for Stroda at Coquitlam track and field meet Much like past years, Kelowna’s Aaron Stroda found the Jesse Bent Memorial meet a good way to kick off the new track and field season. Aaron won the javelin and discus competition in the youth category last weekend in Coquitlam. “The javelin competition was a warm up for me,” Stroda said. “I
wanted to get some good throws to get rolling for my discus competition on Saturday. It was the first time this season I was able to throw with my age relevant implements and not with the high school implements.” Stroda threw the javelin with a winning distance of 47.03mm and won his discus event with
a toss of 51.18m. “I was happy to make standard for nationals with this throw and establish myself over the 50m mark. “My ultimate goal is to build the fundament to go to Youth Worlds next year in the Ukraine.” Aaron also competed in Sunday’s hammer throw event and recorded a best throw of 48.20m.
Aaron chatted with Adam Keenan, one of Canada’s best junior hammer throwers during competition. “Adam said that when he started hammer throw, he threw the hammer in the 30s. So I am quite happy with those early career results of close to 50m.” The Harry Jerome Meet at Swanguard Sun-
day afternoon was very inspiring for Stroda. “I was watching the shot put event very closely, especially Dylan Arm-
strong and Justin Rhode from Kamloops. I would like to compete there at some time as well and make an impression. The
atmosphere is quite different. I am starting to imagine how it will feel for the Canadian athletes to compete in London.”

SPORTS ▼ MEN’S SOCCER
Top two battle each other in Kelowna men’s division 1 soccer Kelowna Men’s Soccer League Divison 1 games wrapped up on Thursday with a battle of two of the top four teams. Illegal Aliens were able to snatch a later winner through an Owen Barski header to win 1-0 and take sole possession of third place. Some great play by each team’s defensive leaders, Engin Coban (Aliens) and Darryl King (Ecora) set the tone for this tight defensive affair. Brandt’s Creek Pub FC continued to pick up wins with another one
over LCSC Woody’s Pub, 4-0. LCSC started well with some pressure early in the half, but being short on quality personnel, Brandt’s slowly wore them down and got their first breakthrough before the half after Scott Johnston sent Dave Crawford in on a goal to score. The second half opened up for Brandt’s and three straight goals from Jack Orchard, Gary Allen, and Rene Trozzo rounded out the scoring for a 4-0 win. Reid Scott was fantastic for Woody’s Pub in goal, keeping the score-
line in check after some sustain pressure in the last 45 minutes. Subcity/Executive Flooring and SOB FC battled to a 3-3 draw. Subcity/Executive Flooring got their first through Bostijan Borovickic before SOB blazed back with three straight goals. However, Subcity would battle back for the draw with Asef Hashemi and Damir Vodopic getting the final two markers. League leaders Modern Furniture Pikeys were given a good push from Dakoda’s Celtic, however, the upset was not meant to be with
Pikeys winning 4-2. Nick Moretto and Nick Reese getting the goals for Celtic. KonKast Stallions were able to get their second win in as many games with a 4-1 victory over Boca Juniors at beautiful City Park.
DIVISION 2 Invisi-bulls snuck back into a share for first place in Division 2 after a win and a Euro FC loss. The Invisi-bulls got back to their high scoring ways with a 7-2 win over LCSC Athletics. A pair of goals from Jeremy Dillabough
and singles from Erik Redfern, Braeden Pistawka, Adam Pistawka, Jared Kelly, and Cam Oliver would put their stamp on the game and the lead the Bulls back to the top. As for Euro FC, they were upended by a feisty Spartan Metal team 2-0 on Tuesday. Even though they were outplayed at points, Spartan hung around and pushed forward to get the winner with 10 minutes left from Carter Bowen provided by a great pass from Eric Spring. With Euro pushing forward,
Spartan Metal would get the nail in the coffin with Carter Bowen playing provider this time on a goal by Develyn Barker. Iris Optometry Wave FC flexed their muscles with a 9-2 win over Fresh Air FC to keep pace with the top half of teams in the division. Nic Race continued his prolific scoring pace for the Wave with 5 goals in leading his team to victory. Justin Phillips would lead the way for YOLO FC with a goal and two assist to a 7-2 win over Gunners FC.

Calli is a joy. She romps around with Lani in our backyard like two spring lambs: it is adorable to watch. Calli is the more outgoing of the two. She is progressing very nicely with her introduction to new environments and situations, but we have to go slowly and not force her to quickly. Calli is a calm and quiet girl who will be very pleased to show you her playful side. She loves her stuffed toys and knows how to share. She is fully house trained and walks well on a leash. What a cuddler! Calli has a great personality and should adjust quickly to her new home. If you would like to know more about Calli and meet her, please speak with the Kelowna SPCA Dog Staff.

Sadie’s previous owners described her as friendly and playful, she loves water and chasing anything you throw, but she cannot swim so must wear a life jacket. She would do well in an active family who can take her for long walks or runs. Our Volunteer Dog walkers say she is good on a leash and listens well. If you wish to visit with Sadie, please come down and talk to our Dog Staff.
ROMAN ID#213497
3 YEARS 3 MOS DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR NEUTERED MALE
ADULT DOMESTIC MEDIUM HAIR SPAYED FEMALE Kelly came to us as a stray. She was so badly matted, that we did an immediate shavedown. She was previously spayed, so we gave her a microchip. She is an absolute doll! She loves to cuddle and closes her eyes in pure enjoyment. She would do well in a home with someone who understands that she will need to be regularly groomed once her hair grows back, as she is a long haired cat. If you would like to meet Kelly, come to the Kelowna SPCA and ask for an introduction.
Armani’s family had to move out of province and they couldn’t take him with them. He is true ‘gentle giant’, very affectionate and has no problem letting you know it. He would be a wonderful ‘first’ cat or a best friend for children. He was an outdoor cat and tends to roam. If you would like to meet this great guy, come down and ask the staff to introduce you and your family. Owner surrendered

Roman is a wonderful cat. He is a little shy with all the commotion at the shelter,but with attention turns into an extremely affectionate lap cat. He loves to roll over to have his stomach rubbed and knead away. Headbutts are also his favorite. Roman would suit a QUIET home where he can be relaxed and loving as he can become a bit stressed with a busy environment (unless he is only like that here as he is still adjusting). If you would like to meet Roman, come to the Kelowna SPCA and ask for an introduction.

Schnitzel was abandoned. She came from the Lake Country area… we traced her tattoo to Courtenay BC but the owners phone is out of service. Schnitzel would suit a home where she can be someone’s diva cat. Schnitzel was clearly someone’s best friend once. She loves treats and observing everything in her surroundings. If you would like to give her a second chance, please come down to the Kelowna SPCA and ask for an introduction.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen delicacies for Dad Everyone has a favourite food and dads are no exception. I imagine they’re all a bit different in their likes and dislikes too, but I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that most of them have a bit of a sweet tooth and that crispy, homemade cookies would elicit a grin and maybe a hug from most dads who received them for Father’s Day. Cookies are easy and fun to make, so, with just a little guidance from Mom, it’s a gift every youngster should be able to make themselves for their favourite Dad. And, we all know that gifts made for someone you love contain that very special ingredient that can’t be matched by those bought at the store. Refrigerator cookies can be made up ahead, ready to slice and bake as needed, so if your youngsters have a short attention span, perhaps you’d prefer to make the dough yourself and let them do the slicing and baking. For a bit more fun, these could be decorated with sugar sprinkles too. There’s a yummy recipe for refrigerator cookies with lots of spice in them in my book, Jude’s Kitchen, but I’ve included a different recipe for lemony refrigerator cookies here. If there's a little cash in the piggy bank, Dad might also like a copy of Jude's Kitchen for Father's Day too. The recipes are mostly pretty straightforward and have all been tested and pronounced delicious by a dad. It's organized seasonally, with special recipes for special occasions like Father's Day, as they come up through the year. That way, cooks can be inspired by what's available fresh and locally, either in your garden or at the farmer's market. Jude's Kitchen is available wherever books are sold and includes wine pairing notes by renowned wine writer John Schreiner. With refrigerator cookies, instead of making the regular sized cookie, you can also form them into more, smaller rolls and make one-bite, coinsized wafers too, which are different and fun. Em’s Cookies are a drop-style cookie which can be made up as soon as you’ve mixed the dough, which is a distinct advantage for last-minute decisions, when the wait for the dough to firm up in the fridge would be a nuisance instead of an advantage. I remember making cookies for my Dad for Father’s Day because he loved something sweet, especially if it had chocolate in it. Some traditions are too yummy not to pass on.
Lemon Roll Cookies These are made into a roll, refrigerated and then sliced once the roll is nice and firm, about an hour. The dough can be made a day or so ahead of time, then the cookies can be baked fresh on Dad’s Day. 1 c. (250 ml) butter 1/2 c. (125 ml) brown sugar 1/2 c. (125 ml) white sugar 1 egg 1 tbsp. (15 ml) minced lemon zest 2 tbsp. (30 ml) lemon juice 2 c. (500 ml) flour 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) baking soda 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) salt
Remove butter from fridge to soften. Zest lemon and mince. Cream butter and sugars, then add egg, lemon zest and juice and beat until fluffy. Combine dry ingredients well and stir into the creamed mixture. Cover and chill for an hour, then shape into two rolls about a foot long. Wrap each in waxed paper and chill in the refrigerator for another hour or so, until nice and firm. Pre-heat oven to 400 F. Slice quarter-inch thick cookies and bake for eight to 10 minutes. Makes about five dozen.
JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS
Em's Drop Cookies 1/2 c. (125 ml) wheat squares cereal 1/2 c. (125 ml) crisp rice cereal 1/2 c. (125 ml) chocolate chips 1/2 c. (125 ml) peanut butter
Em’s not a precise cook and everything goes into these but the kitchen sink, yet her dad has always loved them. Probably your dad will too. 1/2 c. (125 ml) butter 1/2 c. (125 ml) white sugar 1/2 c. (125 ml) brown sugar 1 egg 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) vanilla 1/2 c. (125 ml) flour 1/2 c. (125 ml) whole wheat flour 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) baking soda 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) baking powder 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) salt 1 c. (250 ml) rolled oats 1/2 c. (125 ml) oat cereal rings
Pre-heat oven to 375 F. Cream butter with sugars, egg and vanilla. Stir in rest of ingredients. You may substitute or eliminate some of the cereals and grains. They do add a little nutrition, flavour and crunch to the cookies. Drop dough by spoonful, two inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes or until brown.
Contact Jude’s Kitchen at The Kelowna Capital News, 2495 Enterprise Way, Kelowna, B.C. , V1X 7K2; jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com
Some simple guidelines for readers of Jude's Kitchen There are some basics about my cooking that you should know about in using the recipes created for Jude’s Kitchen. *I mean a large egg when a recipe calls for an egg *usually, butter and margarine are interchangeable *usually, salt and pepper is added to your taste *I generally use sea salt
*fresh ingredients top frozen or canned *organic products are my first choice *wherever possible, I use whole grains, not processed *include a variety of them, when possible *wherever possible, I use fresh herbs *fewer quantities of dried herbs are needed than fresh
*I use extra virgin olive oil *I use grapeseed or olive oil to cook with *I don’t deep fry *feel free to substitute. I do *have fun in the kitchen *encourage others to as well
