Council has fast-tracked secondary suite approval
MARY’S WEDDING director Aaron Caleb (left) joined by cast members Mack Gordon and Jackie Faulkner during a rehearsal of the theatre in the round production of a Canadian play set during the Second World War era. The play opens at The Laurel Packinghouse on June 20 and will run until July1.
Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
It now costs half as much money and months less time to establish a legal mortgage helper or in-law suite in a Kelowna home. Monday afternoon, Kelowna city council decided to adopt a new system to reduce wait-times on applications to two to four weeks from two to four months, and knock administrative costs down to $520 from over $900 in processing fees. “I’m just really pleased this has finally come forward,” said Coun. Luke Stack. “It’s reducing red tape, it’s reducing the timeline…it’s reducing the cost.” As one of the original proponents of addressing the secondary suite issue in the city, Coun. Robert Hobson said he too was thrilled with the day’s Luke Stack progress, particularly because it opens up housing options in the area. In years gone by, when Kelowna had one of the lowest vacancy rates in the country, the preponderance of illegal secondary suites posed a unique conundrum for the council as the illegal units offered desperately needed housing, but without checks and balances, like adherence to the building code, to ensure the public’s safety. City bylaw officers were not instructed to pursue illegal suite investigations unless a particular unit became the subject of complaint. Under the new system, however, those who are caught with an illegal suite will be penalized and the barriers to obtaining legal status greatly reduced to open See Suites A7
▼ MARY’S WEDDING
Museum to stage play related to exhibit Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
It was fate that resulted in the Kelowna Museums embarking on its first production of a play that opens this week in the historic Laurel Packinghouse, staged by a professional theatre company but including a number of local people in key roles. In fact, there have been all sorts of connections as this project got underway and as it continues, notes Patti Kilback, associate director, exhibitions and public programming for the Kelowna Museums. It began when Jackie Faulkner dropped into the Kelowna Museum, having returned home to the
Okanagan after nearly a decade in Vancouver dancing and acting professionally. Faulkner met with Kilback about doing some volunteer work with the museum. Meanwhile, Kilback had been looking for a way to reach new audiences for the Okanagan Heritage Museum’s current exhibit on weddings called: Something Borrowed, Something Blue. So when Faulkner mentioned a play called Mary’s Wedding, by Canadian playwright Stephen Massicotte set during World War II, to Kilback, it just all clicked. “It was something new that we’d never done
‘‘
IT WAS SOMETHING NEW THAT WE’D NEVER DONE BEFORE; PAYING ACTORS AND SUPPORTING ARTISTS RIGHT HERE IN KELOWNA’S CULTURAL DISTRICT. Patti Kilback Kelowna Museums
before; paying actors and supporting artists right here in Kelowna’s cultural district,” Kilback ex-
plained. She applied to the City of Kelowna for seed money to help mount the production, and received the $8,000 to help with costs. Now she hopes residents will turn out to enjoy it. “The lead (Mack Gordon) and Faulkner are from Kelowna so we’re supporting local talent. It was a gut thing with me. I didn’t know Jackie or anyone else,” commented Kilback. Even the set designer, Nicole Bach’s family, is from Peachland. Kilback says putting on this play is an expansion on local history; it brings history to life, which is a mantra of
the museum; and it ties in beautifully with the Military Museum because it’s set in wartime and tells of the experiences of real people falling in love against a backdrop of war. “It’s not just any old play. There are all sorts of connections,” she said. Even the research done by the playwright, who used actual letters written by soldiers and then based the play and its characters on some of what he learned, involved letters from a B.C. orchardist who went off to war. And The Laurel is home to the B.C. Orchard Industry Museum. The play will be done

NEWS ▼ MURDER TRIAL
Witnesses recount events leading up to party shooting Charlie Hodge CONTRIBUTOR
When Trevor Shannon allegedly shot 18-year-old Evan Wilkes in the head at an April 2007 house party in Kelowna, it was the second time Shannon brandished his gun that evening, a trial witness said Monday. An hour after Maegan Smith and two friends arrived at schoolmate Taylor Henderson’s home, an argument broke out
between an intoxicated younger teenager named Parker Burrows and Shannon’s friend Darrell Dixon. “Parker grabbed two kitchen knives and walked back towards Darrell with one knife in each hand,” Smith told the jurors. “Trevor (Shannon) came in from the laundry room (into the kitchen) pulled his gun out of his waistband and held it to Parker’s temple and pushed Parker against the fridge.”
When later asked by Shannon’s lawyer Brent Bagnall if Shannon said anything at the time, Smith replied: “Yes. He backed Parker away to the fridge shouting ‘back off’ or ‘back away.’” Earlier in her testimony, Smith told Crown counsel Duncan Campbell that Shannon seemed high when he arrived at the party. “He said, ‘Yeah, just a bunch of ‘k’ (kettamin).” Smith, now age 23,
was 18 at the time of the party gone wrong and recalls the shooting of Evan Wilkes that night. Perhaps sensing things were going to get worse, Smith found Shannon’s dog wandering around outside the party and protectively put Bonnie, a German shepherd, in her car, then returned to find her two girlfriends and prepare to leave. However, the action had moved outside by that time. Smith told the jury that
Shannon was on the driveway with half a circle of guys arguing. “I told him I had his dog but he did not listen to me,” Smith said. “I grabbed his sleeve but he did not notice.” According to Smith, Wilkes was by the gate and Shannon was arguing with him. “Trevor was aggressive and he was yelling with Evan. Evan said, ‘Shoot me cause it’s not a real gun.’ I saw Trevor raise his arm, heard a
gun fire, and Evan fell back. One shot. Evan fell down,” Smith testified. A second female witness to the Vimy Avenue shooting, Shannon’s former girlfriend Brianne McGinnis, told the jury Shannon had not owned his handgun until he moved to Kelowna and carried it “for when he was drug dealing.” McGinnis said she was glad Shannon had moved from Maple Ridge to Kelowna. “Trevor had
the worst luck in Maple Ridge. He was locked in the trunk of a car by some people in Maple Ridge,” she told the court. Meanwhile, a decision is expected Wednesday on the apparent recanting of testimony given by witness Curtis Blanchette that differed from what he said at the first murder trial for Shannon. Blanchette gave a new statement to police last week, saying he lied at the previous trial.
Assisted suicide ban ruled unconstitutional Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

FUN FISHING DERBY… At last Saturday’s annual Peachland Sportsman’s Association family fishing derby at Shannon Lake in West Kelowna, nearly 100 youngsters and their folks turned out to try their hand at learning to fish for trout and bass, and enjoy hotdogs barbecued by club volunteers. It was all part of the province’s Family Fishing weekend. Brendan Schlamp, of West Kelowna, took home the top prize of a fishing trip for two on the Fraser River with Pirate Island Charters for catching the largest trout. Jacob Jarec won for the largest bass caught during the day.

The B.C. Supreme Court has found the law banning physician-assisted suicide to be unconstitutional. In a 395 page-ruling released last Friday, Justice Lynn Smith called the ban discriminatory, found that suicide is not illegal and therefore the law denying physically disabled people, who can’t take their own lives, the same rights as able-bodied people, contravenes Section 15 of the Charter, which guarantees equality. Due to the complexity of the issue, Smith suspended the declaration of invalidity for one year in order to give Parliament time to take whatever steps needed to draft comprehensive new legislation. Meantime, West Kelowna’s Gloria Taylor’s situation will be dealt with separately. For Taylor, who suffers from a fatal neurodegenerative disease, to have an effective remedy, wrote Smith in her decision, she must be granted a constitutional exemption during the period the declaration is suspension. Taylor, 63,will be permitted to seek, and her physician will be permitted to proceed with, physician-assisted death under specified conditions, which include having a physician and a consulting psychiatrist each attest to the fact that “Taylor is competent and that her request for physician-assisted death is voluntary and non-ambivalent.”
5th Annual
WATER GARDEN
EVENT Sat. June 23rd & Sun. June 24th
If a physician or consulting psychiatrist declined to do so, that fact will be made known to subsequent physicians or consulting psychiatrists and to the court. Although Taylor has said she will release a statement shortly after the court decision, her position on her own mortality has been made clear in previous interviews and in court documents. In her court affidavit, Taylor describes some of her hopes and fears regarding her death, as follows: “I do not want my life to end violently. I do not want my mode of death to be traumatic for my family members. I want the legal right to die peacefully, at the time of my own choosing, in the embrace of my family and friends,” she wrote. “There will come a point when I will know that enough is enough. I cannot say precisely when that time will be. It is not a question of “when I can’t walk” or “when I can’t talk”. There is no pre-set trigger moment. I just know that, globally, there will be some point in time when I will be able to say—“this is it, this is the point where life is just not worthwhile.” “When that time comes, I want to be able to call my family together, tell them of my decision, say a dignified good-bye and obtain final closure—for me and for them.” With Smith’s ruling, Canada is now in the leagues of Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland, which also permit physician-assisted suicide. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Keeping an eye on city street lights
Due to recent copper theft, the City of Kelowna, Fortis BC and the RCMP are asking residents who see suspicious activity around street lights or
electrical infrastructure to call the local authorities immediately and to stay clear of any exposed electrical wiring. “Our main concern is
the safety of the public,” says Joe Creron, civic operations director with the City of Kelowna. “That is why we are asking residents to call the police if

they see any suspicious activity, or anything that looks like attempted copper wire theft.” “Any exposed wiring must be treated with care and should only be serviced by FortisBC employees, who have the necessary experience and safety training,” added Dwain Bell, vice-president of operations for FortisBC. “It is impossible to know if a wire is live or not, so it is better to err on the side of safety and simply stay away and call us.” Since January, large amounts of copper wire have been stolen across the City, which to date will cost City taxpayers more than $200,000 to replace. This is in addition to the $900,000 that will be spent over the next three years on the anti-theft devices—half the cost paid directly from taxation, and half paid from the City’s utility reserve. “If you see any suspicious behaviour or come across exposed wiring please call 911,” says Creron.

Roberts is overshadowed by a projected image of Wilson. For his part, Wilson said most importantly museums must spark a sense of curiosity in their communities. He announced that in the fall he will take on a new position as part-time executive director for the Central Okanagan Land Trust.

Cost to license a legal suite is reduced Suites from A1 up housing options while ensuring the units meet code. Those who apply to establish a legal suite will now be charged $510 for their application and concurrently issued a business licence worth $27.50. The business licence will be the only measure residents in the area can use to identify homes with secondary suites as the “S” designation, which once singled out these homes, will be stricken from the books, eliminating the lengthy trip to council previously necessary. Those who do not come forward to apply for the permit on their suite will be charged $277.50 for the business licence, if and when the suite’s existence comes to light. The sum is the ordinary cost of
the licence, $27.50, plus a $252 charge for the cost of the investigation. Altogether, the changes mean obtaining a legal suite now costs $537 for those who voluntarily
apply for the correct permits and $787 for those who do not. This is over $400 cheaper than the previous system for both those who voluntarily applied
and those who are caught with the suite. The change means each application no longer has to appear before council and can be dealt with by city staff alone.
The bylaw changes do not absolve homeowners of the cost of building a suite that meets the B.C. Building Code standards. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

It also means that Faulkner never leaves the stage during the entire play—a very physically demanding role, notes Kilback.

Reprieve for Truswell Road rental property Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
City officials came within an inch of failing to squeeze the equipment

night. At a press conference held beside the creek Friday morning, in front of the apartment block at 549 Truswell, civic operations

I was talking to staff this morning and we’ve got to be talking to our planning people and our engineering people. We’re always
going to have problems along creeks and we’ve got to make sure we start thinking about that. How are we going to get in and out of these places? Because a lot of our older areas, you just can’t get in,” said Creron. In order to rescue the building, city staff needed to build a gravel road into the creek to stabilize the machinery, which had started to sink into the unstable bank, threatening gas lines that run under-

Creron estimates $30,000 was spent in the one evening under state of emergency conditions— and he isn’t ruling out the possibility other emergency operations might be needed before the water levels return to normal in Okanagan Lake. “It looks a little bit down, but there is some predictions we could be going up to 80 cubic metres per second by Monday,” he said. “That’s just a prediction at this point in time, but it did go up to 90, I think, a bit earlier in the
week. So we’ll be prepared.” Okanagan Lake is at full pool and water levels are predicted to rise two centimetres per day, leaving homes along the river in a perilous position and downtown homes and businesses facing trouble. Pumps are in place to protect some of the civic structures in the downtown core, following flooding last spring that saw city buildings and private homes struggle with water flowing into basements. The provincial government will pay for the evening’s work and washout at Bullman Road.

Options for roses create landscape bloom around Kelowna
Is
FROM THE GROUND UP
Don Burnett much detail, these were the three main groups developed after 1867 which began what we call the modern era of rose growing with the first, a Hybrid Tea named La France. After that the floribunda was developed in the late 1800s and the Grandiflora in the late 1940s. In the early ‘60s, a gentleman by the name of David Austin began his journey of breeding old rose varieties with modern roses. Austin eventually developed a whole new class he named English Roses.Today, the world now knows them as David Austins. In the ‘70s, a breeder
in France began the Meidiland series which in my mind were the first true landscape roses. Prior to then, it was unusual to have a mass planting of one variety or colour as most rose gardens were comprised of a mixture. The Meidilands were meant to be planted en masse and bingo—instead of having masses of juniper everywhere, we began to see oceans of colour from June to October. In the early ‘80s, the folk at Meidiland introduced the variety Bonica, which became the first landscape rose to receive the coveted all Amercan Rose Selection. Today, it is still one of the most popular roses in the market place. In my mind, however, the landscape rose did not become as important as it is today until our own Canadian breeders got into
the fray. The Explorer series—with names such as Champlain, Henry Hudson and John Cabot—is prairie hardy and gaining popularity all over the world for its many other attributes. One of my favourite Canadian introductions is the Morden series. Morden Blush and in par-
ticular Morden Sunrise. For anyone looking to purchase roses, this is the perfect time because most are in bloom now at the garden centres. So choosing a colour can be done without relying on a picture. *** The Kelowna Garden Clubs annual Flower Show will take place Sat-
AM 1150 from 8 to 10 a.m.
urday, July 7, at Guisachan Heritage Gardens, 1060 Cameron Ave., from l0:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. I will be conducting a tour of the gardens from a historical perspective at 1:30 p.m. Check out www.kelownagardenclub.ca for more info. Tune in to The Don Burnett Garden Show on

verything is coming up roses, as the old saying goes. What a show our roses are putting on for us this year. I have always said there is no better bang for your buck than roses, and now that we have so many fabulous landscape roses available to us, that sentiment has never been more true. When I cut my teeth in the 1960s selling roses at our family garden centre, there was much less to choose from. In fact, there was no such thing that we would refer to as a landscape rose, although I suppose the still popular rugosa such as Hansa and F. J. Grootendorst might be classified as a landscape rose. The big three as we used to call them consisted of Hybrid Teas, Grandifloras and the Floribundas. Without going into too

Monster apples create concern
A
pples have a long-standing reputation as a healthy food. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, as Benjamin Franklin is said to have put it. But the Frankenstein complex has an equally long, if not longer history. That’s the nickname given to the fear that man’s messing around with the building blocks of life will eventually create something that will destroy humanity. Bring the two together and you’ve got a problem. It’s hard
to blame the B.C. Fruit Growers for their concern that the introduction of a genetically modified apple could ruin the reputation of the Okanagan as a source of high quality healthy fruit. And while Neal Carter, whose company has used gene modification to create a nonbrowning apple, certainly has his eye on the commercial return while extolling the benefits of his Arctic apples, there is one benefit that stands out. And, coincidentally, it’s the same as what made the apple’s
reputation. Most people don’t care about a little browning, but it is also indicative of a breakdown of the apple’s nutritional factors. Take away the browning, and the vitamins and anti-oxidants stay. So, on one hand, we have growers wanting to preserve the reputation of their product as a healthy food and on the other we have an apple that retains its nutritional value for longer. Anyone see some common ground here?
Consider too that growers have been practising genetic modification for centuries, albeit by the much slower selection and grafting methods. Caution is a good thing, especially when it comes to monkeying with genes. Extensive testing, too, is a good thing. But allowing caution to grow into an unreasoning fear is never a good thing. If turning off an enzyme can preserve the best aspects of an apple, it shouldn’t be thrown away on account of ancient fear.

Setting an example to choose welfare over finding a job
T
he B.C. government has taken some modest steps to tighten up the province’s income assistance system, and to encourage people to work when they are able to. With Premier Christy Clark swooping in to take credit, Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux unveiled changes that included fixing the worst mistake in B.C. Liberal policy. Cadieux acknowledged that B.C. was the only province that clawed back all earnings from employable
welfare recipients, and she announced that from now on they will be able to earn up to $200 a month without penalty. The exemption for disabled peoTom ple is increased from Fletcher $500 to $800 a month. Another important change is requiring welfare recipients to file income tax returns. People can now do temporary work when it comes along, report the income and take advantage of the various tax credits that come from participating in society instead of just living off it. Any experience earning money

is valuable experience. With baby boomers starting to retire in big numbers, the expected labour shortage has begun across Western Canada. And yet, increasing numbers of foreign workers are coming in to do farm and other work, while many young people are unemployed. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon took note of this during his budget preparations. Increasing numbers of young, employable people were applying for welfare in southern B.C., while jobs go begging in the booming northeast. Falcon mused about setting up a program to provide training and plane fare for these people, an idea quickly dubbed “welfare air.”
Another effort to get young people working is Jobfest, a rock-themed road show currently touring northern B.C. towns. It attracts young people with music and souvenirs like drumsticks and guitar picks, and offers them skills assessment using sexy iPad apps and graphics that depict carpentry as cool. If Jobfest and welfare air sound a bit desperate, it’s because they are. They illustrate our society’s problem. We have a public school system where students pass whether they do the work or not. The culture assumes self esteem is more important than achievement. The teachers’ union constantly sets an example that the
way to get what you want is to stamp your feet and demand it from government. What do we expect young people to learn? And how easy is it for B.C. to slip into a Greece-like tailspin, where a majority expects to be carried on the backs of the shrinking minority who do productive work? Old-timers might recall when Mike Harcourt’s NDP government took over from the allegedly miserly Social Credit regime and raised welfare rates. They compounded that mistake by relaxing eligibility rules and making it easier for employable peo-

LETTERS ▼ OMNIBUS BILL
Conservatives follow Liberal tradition
To the editor: Re: Editor’s Note column, June 14, Capital News, Omnibus Bill: The PM Doing What He Wants, How He Wants, piqued my interest. Now I am going to give Capital News managing editor, Barry Gerding, the benefit of the doubt that he published a revisionist history piece, and not the usual Liberal/NDP media bias. Yes, the majority government used all the rules of Parliament to “cram the omnibus bill through to the Senate.” Is this the first time
this has happened in a Canadian Parliament? No! Let me correct your revisionist history for you. Remember the abortion debate? No, not the “Harper government’s secret agenda” that the media keeps creating news about. I’m talking about Dec. 20, 1967. The then Liberal government under Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson notified Parliament of its intention to legalize the abortion law in an omnibus bill. The justice minister, Pierre Trudeau, introduced the 72-page omnibus bill which contained
over 100 clauses on issues ranging from contraception, divorce, homosexuality and abortion, to passport regulations and jury rules, to permitting lotteries and relaxing marijuana laws. On July 6, 1968, the omnibus bill is re-introduced by our then new prime minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau. On May 9, 1969, the Liberal majority “crammed the omnibus bill through to the Senate.” And as for moaning about “70 different pieces of legislation,” if you were editorializing
about Trudeau’s omnibus bill, with 100 different pieces of legislation, would your wailing be heard? Note that it was not the only time that a Liberal majority government passed omnibus bills. Neither government was doing anything illegal. Both were using the rules of Parliament to get legislation passed. The differences are, in the reporting and spin by the media, the Capital News included. J. Brian Batter, West Kelowna
Touting wine legislation misguided
To the editor: Heard the latest? Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas now claims his private-member’s Bill C-311 will create more jobs. How exactly does inter-provincial trade create jobs? I wasn’t aware that his bill was designed to make Canadians drink more. If I buy more Ontario wine, I’m obviously going to buy less B.C. wine. Right? So is Albas serious or just desperate?
Besides, everyone knows the provinces are addicted to the revenue they collect from taxing liquor. That’s why Alberta and Ontario, and even Albas’s home province of B.C., are lining up to severely restrict how much liquor residents will be able to import tax-free after Bill C-311 passes. And the fact that Albas didn’t anticipate this shows a complete lack of competence. Too bad he doesn’t have a lawyer in
the family. Albas says he hopes the provinces “will recognize the spirit and intent of the bill.” That’s a good one. When’s the last time a province stood idly by and let tax revenue slip between its fingers? Hope in politics is for tree huggers and fools. Bill C-311 was never intended to help the wine industry succeed as Albas claims. Only increased exports of wine out of Can-
ada will do that. It was intended to aggrandize Albas and nothing more. If Albas really wanted to help Canadians he would’ve done something to free up trade in food as well as booze. Better yet, work with the provinces to begin eliminating sin taxes. After all, we’re just shuffling money from one pocket to the other by taxing ourselves in this way. Mischa Popoff, Osoyoos
▼ KELOWNA MOUNTAIN
Time to get development on track To the editor: Comment: So, now we have it—the battle of Kelowna Mountain has been drawn up. On the one hand, we have a team of people (Mark Consiglio and his investment partners) who want to allegedly spend $2 billion—yes, let me reemphasize that as $2 billion—on the development of Kelowna Mountain. And on the other side are both the City of Kelowna and the Central Okanagan Regional District, both appearing to be
adamantly opposed. What we have is small town thinking vs. big picture expansion and growth. Is Kelowna ready for this? I very much doubt it. In last year’s municipal election, we had Walter Gray saying that, under his leadership, Kelowna would be “open for business.” It would appear that these are empty words that are not supported by action. If ever there was an opportunity to demonstrate this, the Kelowna Moun-
tain project is it. History tells us that “process,” as drearily slow as it is, will always dictate the way that entepreneurism has to work. If Consiglio and his backers pull out of Kelowna, how can that benefit the local economy and community? Do we seriously think that the Kelowna Mountain project would have got this far without some considerable thought being given to sustainability, both in terms of people and resources?
▼ PROVINCE
Government sends wrong message Welfare from A10 ple to stay on welfare. After a couple of years of this wealth redistribution, 10 per cent of the B.C. population was on welfare, with more piling on every day. Faced with the results of this staggering blunder, Harcourt lashed out at “cheats, deadbeats and varmints” scamming B.C. taxpayers and launched a crackdown on fraud. Later, the NDP cut the basic rate for single employables to $500 a month. Today it stands at $610, and the NDP looks poised to repeat his-
tory. Surrey MLA Jagrup Brar did a month-long publicity stunt in January, living on welfare by wandering from shelter to food bank with TV cameras trailing behind. Brar would have been better off if welfare air had been available. Instead of learning to live off the burgeoning urban handout industry, he could have gone up to Dawson Creek or Fort St. John and worked as a labourer. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca
In the ideal world, Consiglio and his team should have engaged with both the City of Kelowna and CORD earlier in the process. However, rather than bristling with indignation that the project has gotten this far, both the city and CORD should now reach out to Consiglio and his team to determine what is now the most expeditious solution (for all parties) to move forward.

Highway billboards prove irritating To the editor: My thanks to the gentleman that wrote the letter in regards to the billboards. He could not have been more clear about Jim Pattison, the billboard advertisers and the WFN for creating that eyesore in our beautiful valley. I’m sure that if I placed an advertising billboard on my property, there would be neighbours phoning city hall and the sign would be ordered removed and possibly I would face a hefty fine. The billboards are not unlike graffiti that has to be removed and said property owner to clean it up. The longer graffiti stays there it will only be added to and get worse. Listen up advertisers, Pattison and the WFN— we need to make choices to do the right thing for the common good of all. Own up to that unsightly mess and take down those billboards. D.

Kelowna Yacht Club activities not just limited to club members Many people walk by the Kelowna Yacht Club thinking that all their activities are reserved for members only. “No!” laughs Valerie Cloutier, the sailing school coordinator for the
Kelowna Yacht Club. “Anyone, members of the public or members of our club, can take advantage of our sailing school. “We have many fun and affordable programs for kids, starting at age
four up to age 17. If you are a complete beginner or have experience already, we already have the right program to suit your needs and your busy schedule.” Starting every Monday of the summer, the
yacht club will hold programs for the 7 to 17 year age group, which run Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The full schedule gives them plenty of time to not only learn new sailing skills, but also learn to
work in a team environment while enjoying their days out on the water. “We have a lot of different awesome programs to choose from, but there is one that no other school in Canada has, and that is a French Immersion sail-
ing program. If your children are learning French at school, our camp is a great way to have them practice during the summer while learning a wonderful sport,” Cloutier said. “All our programs are Canadian Yachting As-
sociation sanctioned, are taught by certified professional instructors and are designed to teach kids a really fun sport in a very safe environment.” For more information see www.kelownayachtclub.com.

The B.C. Paraplegic Association has widened its scope to provide assistance to people suffering disabilities from spinal cord injuries. Renamed as Spinal Cord Injuries B.C., the rebranded association wants to provide support and activities for people with spinal cord injuries across the province. In Kelowna, paraplegic James Hektner has been a peer support coordinator for the Central Okanagan area, and Sonja Gaudet, a former gold medallist Special Olympian in curling, has recently taken on a similar role for the Vernon area. Residents from Kelowna, West Kelowna, Penticton and Summerland gather in Kelowna every Wednesday to socialize and share their experiences, and sometimes take part in activities organized by Hektner, a software engineer technician, who had his spinal cord severed in a car accident when he was 19. The next upcoming event is a boat cruise, an executive houseboat charter provided by JC Rathwell, that as many as 40 SCI-BC members will take part in. For Natasha Lovell, a Kelowna resident who has a spinal cord injury that limits her mobility, though she can still walk getting on a boat again will be a personal milestone for her to build on. In 2006, Lovell had just started her new job working on a cruise ship that had pulled out of Cape Canaveral, Fla., when the ship tipped sideways. “I had been on the job for less than 16 days when the accident happened,” Lovell said. As the ship tipped, Lovell was with a group of children, ranging in age from 3 to 8, and while attempted to help the children avoid flying debris, that debris ultimately injured her. “For me, I suffered an injury to my spinal cord in the middle of my rib cage. My spinal cord has been damaged but I am not paralyzed,” Lovell explained. “I can still walk but sometimes I will get numbness in my hands and arms that can last for days.” Lovell said the realigned SCI-BC is an important step because it

activities as we work towards putting an end to homelessness. There will also be a bottle drive at the Sutherland Avenue shelter, and a barbecue celebration at City Park will follow the scavenger hunt with live music provided by The Malarkeys. Prizes will be awarded to teams with the best decorated cart, the most scavenger hunt points, and the most pledges raised. People are also invited

around the world. In order to grow Canada’s commercial ties in priority markets around the world, help Canadian businesses expand and succeed abroad and build on our commitment to engage and include Canadian businesses in a broad pursuit of deeper trading relationships, we are moving forward with a number of comprehensive trade missions for 2012. These comprehensive trade missions are government-led business missions, which typically employ the following structure: • led by minister or caucus member with multiple intersection points with delegates; • specific sectors identified and advertised to potential participants; • typically one week in duration, including two to three cities and/or countries; • full business program for participants, including: briefings, plenary sessions, business-tobusiness meetings, networking events and site visits; and • four to six month plan-
ning and recruitment period for participants. It is important to note that local business participants join these missions at their own expense. The minister of international trade along with the parliamentary secretary for international trade are planning a total of six Canada trade missions this year. Since our government first came to office in 2006, there have been 11 Canada trade missions. All these trade missions will be publicly announced in the coming weeks and more information will be posted to www.tradecommissioner. gc.ca/eng/trade-missions/ home.jsp. The first mission already completed was to St. Petersburg and Moscow in Russia, June 3 to 8. The targeted sectors were aerospace, building products and construction, and mining. The other trade missions are set for Thailand and Philippines, Aug. 26 to 31. The targeted sectors are energy and clean-tech sectors. To Haiti and the Do-
minican Republic, in the fall. With the ongoing reconstruction and development initiatives in Haiti, the leadership role our government has and continues to play is generating positive opportunities and advantages for Canadian companies.

Insurance to deal with the unexpected

DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR
NEW SHOPPING CENTRE…The groundwork has already started for a new commercial store development at The Ponds, a residential development in the Upper Mission area of Kelowna. The development went to public hearing last week and has the approval of city council. It is expected the new village centre will include a grocery store, drug store, coffee shop, financial institution and other smaller shops. Another aspect of the proposal will see a new road that will connect The Ponds area to nearby Crawford Estates, in part to make the new shopping centre more easily accessible.
▼ PRIVATE AUTO SALES
Loophole plugged for ‘gift’cars Tom Fletcher CONTRIBUTOR
The B.C. government is plugging a loophole that has prompted hundreds of people to claim they are giving away vehicles to friends or “acquaintances” rather than pay sales tax on the transaction. When it adopted the harmonized sales tax in 2010, the B.C. government increased its separate tax on private sales of cars, boats and other vehicles from seven per cent to 12. The federal goods and
services tax doesn’t apply to private sales, and the B.C. government said it wanted to level the playing field between private sales and used cars purchased from dealers. The jump in the tax rate appears to have made a chronic tax evasion problem worse, as sales of even high-end cars have become popular to give away, at least on paper. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said the new provincial sales tax legislation specifies that vehicle gifts can only be given to a genuine relative or
a registered charity. “Clearly we’ve had a situation in British Columbia where there has been an enormous effort underway for the public to avoid paying tax owing when they sell vehicles,” Falcon said. “Either you accept that explanation or you just believe that people have become extraordinarily generous in British Columbia in giving away their highend vehicles, including Mercedes, “Porsches and BMWs, to individuals who they are not acquainted with
but they are describing as friends or best friends or acquaintances.” Falcon estimated the tax dodge has been costing the B.C. treasury “tens of millions” each year. An effort to tighten up the gift process last year by replacing a letter declaring the vehicle is a gift with a detailed form for buyers and sellers didn’t relieve the problem, he said. The B.C. sales tax on privately sold vehicles is called the “Tax on Designated Property,” and it applies to aircraft and boats as well as cars and trucks.
ife insurance is a consumer product we buy and hope we never have to use. Home and vehicle insurance coverage is purchased on the same basis. We purchase insurance to cover a catastrophic loss to ourselves or our family. Life insurance covers the loss of life. There are many types of life insurance, example term, whole life and universal life. Mortgage insurance or creditor insurance is insurance to cover the financial debt for a mortgage, line of credit, or a consumer loan, example a vehicle loan at a car dealership. Creditor insurance reviews your claim after death to determine if your death claim will be paid; this is called post-claim underwriting. After you die, they review your medical information to see if all your questions were answered correctly or if you have a health issue. With creditor insurance, your claim can be denied after death. Life insurance is underwritten at time of application. This process takes about four to six weeks for the application to be processed. When approved your policy is issued and as long as you have been truthful in your answers, your life insurance policy is paid to your named beneficiary a few weeks after death. Life insurance pays out the coverage amount you choose. With life insurance if you choose the coverage amount of example $400,000, this is the amount that will be paid out tax free to your named beneficiaries. Creditor or mortgage insurance has a declining balance pay out. As you pay down your mortgage, the insured amount also declines. Why would you pay the same monthly premium for a coverage amount that decreases each month? Can you imagine going to the grocery store and paying the same amount each month, but you are forced to take less groceries

Mortgage insurance Smith pays the balance of the mortgage debt to the lending institution upon death. Only the lending institution is listed to receive the proceeds. A mortgage insurance agreement means you have qualified to pay premiums during your lifetime, but you are not guaranteed to be paid out after death. Most banks, lending institutions and mortgage brokers sell mortgage insurance. First, they finance your mortgage, and then they try to sell you mortgage insurance to cover your mortgage debt. These are both huge profit centres for the lending institutions. You do not have to purchase mortgage insurance from your lending institution. If you have purchased it, you have the option to cancel it. A personally owned term life insurance provides many benefits. You own your insurance; you choose the coverage amount, you choose the length of term, and you choose the beneficiary. The death benefit is paid tax free to your named beneficiary shortly after death. Personally owned term insurance protects your family. The proceeds from your term life insurance can be used in any way your beneficiary decides. They may use the money to repay the mortgage; may choose to pay higher interest credit debt; or have funds quickly available for immediate living expenses or to pay for final funeral costs.

BUSINESS ▼ FINANCIAL PLANNING
▼ UBC OKANAGAN
Providing basic direction for your life I ‘‘
New dean hired for health/social development faculty
t’s been my experience, that financial planning is often thought of as being overly complicated. In fact, since no one really seems to know where to begin, they don’t—“I don’t know what to do, so I’m going to put it off until later and hope it all works out for the best.” Good luck with that. I sincerely hope you make it. The reason that anyone makes a plan is to be prepared. In my opinion, the simpler the plan is, the more likely that it will be achieved. In fact, I think that the bulk of financial planning for most people can be covered by open and honest discussions around just six simple topics. The order you put them in depends on your current priorities. Just start at the highest priority and work towards the least. What would financial-

Robert Oleksyn ly happen to your family if you passed away now? This is the first building block because all the things that you want in life must be paid by the income that you will earn in the future. If you pass away, that income stream stops and affects your family. What would financially happen to your family if you became disabled right now? Once again, if you became disabled, the future income stream that you would have earned becomes disrupted and affects your family. What do you want to do to help your children into their adult life? Do you want to pay for their
education? Do you want to help them start a business? In any case, when will the funds be required and how much is needed? Different people have very different attitudes towards these responsibilities. There aren’t any wrong answers except not having any. When do you see yourself retiring? What will you do, how long will you do it and what will it cost? Don’t forget inflation. I’ve talked to many people who once thought that $300,000 was a lot of money in 1980. Today, even though they have never lost a dime because they always bought GICs, they have found that $300,000 doesn’t seem like a lot of money anymore. What would you do if an unplanned event happened? Let’s face it. Sometimes, things happen and

there’s a need for some emergency cash! Maybe the transmission falls out of the car; maybe your partner loses their job; maybe there’s a health scare; maybe your kids (or your parents) need to live at home again. When you pass away, your estate will get split up. How do you want it to be split up? What is allowed by law? Do you own assets that may have to be sold? How important is it to you to be able to provide a legacy to your children or an insti-
tution that you care deeply about, like a church, a charity or a school? Each one of these topics does require some thought. What you choose to do doesn’t really matter. All the plan does is identify the gap between where you are and where you want to go and then to provide the best directions. Simple.

Life changes that give rise of the accidental entrepreneur I
know what you are saying…what is accidental about becoming an entrepreneur? I have talked about the answer to that question in many of my past columns, one being how a change in personal circumstances sometimes forces people to consider the self-employment realm of entrepreneurship. The surprise of suddenly not having job security, or losing their job, makes a person sometimes realize they don’t want to hustle for someone else’s dream. This prompts new horizons of thought that may lead to new ventures and fthat accidental entry into the world of entrepreneurial pursuit. People who choose to
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young step outside the box of life due to change in personal circumstance are part of a unique breed of entrepreneurial owners because they began their ventures out of necessity or after an opportunity presented itself to them. According to the Kauffman Entrepreneurship Foundation, one of the entrepreneurship meccas of the world, accidental entrepreneurs are among the 500,000 North American startups every month.
That rate keeps on rising very much due to changes in personal circumstances in this ever evolving world. A research manager at the Kauffman Foundation stated recently that it’s indicative that people who lose their jobs due to this crazy recession set off on their own as one or two person venture operations. It is further said that this new breed of accidental entrepreneurs— spawned and driven more by profits than the accepted ideology of passion— launched their new ventures out of pure, unmitigated necessity rather than a lifelong dream of being “their own boss.” These agile, highly educated, tech-savvy and battle-tested peo-
ple are like circling “velociraptors,” waiting to pounce and feast on the herd of opportunities before them. The ventures formed by these accidental entrepreneurs are poised for explosive growth, particularly companies in the 10 to 49 employee range. They are aggressively leveraging technologies such as cloud computing to “fast-track” their successful forward movement. Such ventures are born, it seems, of the recession phasing, are focused on the Internet and finding addressable markets to dominate. They are less siloed, very agile, make their own decisions and are more independent that pre-recession founders.
Sixteen students gain their CA status
Sixteen Kelowna chartered accountant students graduated from the CA qualification program at a fceremony held June 2 in Vancouver. The local student CA grads are Magnus Aaserud (KPMG LLP), Marina Broeer (KPMG LLP), Paul Caldwell, Nghi Ho (Okanagan College), Adam Hutchens (BDO Canada LLP), Dustin Joslin (BDO Canada LLP), Ramit Kochhar (Kochhar & Co. Chartered Accountant Inc.), Jennifer Krentz (City of Kelowna),
t
Shannon Lloyd (MacKay LLP), John Myles (MNP LLP), Leanne Praticante (Grant Thornton LLP), Cindy Rephin (Grant Thornton LLP), Yifan Sheng (BDO Canada LLP), Sandra Spielmann (MNP LLP), Dane Van Heerden (KPMG LLP), and Benjamin Zacharias. Students recognized at the convocation ceremony are eligible for membership in the Institute of Chartered Accountants of B.C. this year. “These students have earned their CA designa-
tion by successfully completing a rigorous and competitive academic program, focused on business and accounting com-
petencies,” said Richard Rees, FCA, CEO of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of British Columbia.
It is beginning to become yet another new entrepreneurial era. Just as profit has seemingly replaced passion in the hierarchy of needs for these accidental entrepreneurs, don’t expect them to innovate their way to successful plateaus. As a group, they will be more focused on optimization than trailblazing. They will execute the business playbook better and faster than anybody else, and this will undoubtedly contribute to the definition of entrepreneurship changing over the next decade. So let me close this week’s column with a self-quiz for you regarding a perspective of accidental entrepreneurs. If you can answer
‘yes’ to eight or more of these characteristics outlined below, there is a good chance you are or may be an accidental entrepreneur in the making: 1. You want what you are embarking on to make a difference in the world 2. You like living life on your terms 3. You are not easily defeated, where others fail, you see opportunity—solutions rather than problems 4. You are a creative and innovative thinker 5. You are a calculated risk-taker. Fear tempts you, not stops you 6. You are highly motivated 7. You have a wide range of interests and do many things well 8. You likely engaged in entrepreneurial-like ac-
tivities as a child/youth 9. You like making money. 10. You have an abundance of sustainable energy. If you see yourself as an accidental entrepreneur, the facts outlined above will resonate with you. Everything in life happens for a reason— no accidents, only accidents by design, no train wrecks, only trains changing tracks. This is a beautiful way to begin your week of “self-discovery” to ascertain that you really on the fringe of an entrepreneurial life.

SENIORS Dealing with a care facility compliance complaint R
esidential care facilities that provide services for seniors with complex health care needs requiring 24-hour professional care, need to have a Community Care Facilities License. To ensure that a seSENIORS’ nior care facility’s license CONCERNS requirements are maintained, routine inspections are carried out. When a facility is found in non-compliobservations are disSharen ance, cussed with the facility Marteny operator and, depending on the level of risk associated with the issue, an action plan to resolve the matter is done. Licensees are required to report specific types of incidents that occur within a 24-hour time period. Licensing inspectors will investigate every complaint about an unlicensed care facility, or a care facility that does not comply with the legislation or the terms or conditions of its license. Investigations are based on the balance of probabilities, which means determining if it is more likely than not that an event occurred or a facility failed to comply. A health and safety plan may be requested at the beginning of an investigation to ensure that the health and safety of seniors in care are assured while the investigation is underway. During an investigation, complaints and incident reports are assessed and the extent of the investigation is determined based on their nature and severity. Information is gathered which may include facility inspections, facility policies, staff records and records of seniors in care, interviews of staff, seniors in care and their families and a facility operational history. The investigation’s findings are documented and the licensee is given the opportunity to review and respond to the information. Further information, including a compliance plan, may be requested at the conclusion of the investigation. Allegations involving conduct that is potentially criminal are immediately referred to police. Other experts may be consulted as necessary, including social workers and dieticians. Reports on residential care facilities can be found on the health authority websites. However, the health authorities only provide the information as a public service. They do not endorse any facility nor guarantees that the information is accurate, up to date or complete.

Recognizing the signs of a stroke Stroke is the thirdleading cause of death and a leading cause of disability for Canadians. Treatment is complex and time sensitive. In light of this, Interior Health urges residents to know the signs of stroke and get help as quickly as possible. “The importance of early recognition can’t be overstated,” said Dr. Todd Collier, a stroke neurologist at Royal Inland Hospital and Interior Health’s regional stroke leader. “The fact is many people who could benefit from treatment don’t access medical help quickly enough. “Remember ‘FAST: Face, Arm, Speech, Time.’ If the face is drooping on one side, or there is weakness in one arm, or if
speech sounds slurred or strange, it is time to call 911.” Interior Health continues to build on its success in improving treatment for stroke patients, with the (age-adjusted) rate of deaths due to stroke decreasing over the last four years. The Canadian Institute for Health Information recently ranked Royal Inland in Kamloops as the best performing hospital in B.C. in the rate of deaths caused by stroke.

participating in this collaborative since September 2011—Shuswap Lake General Hospital in Salmon Arm; Royal Inland in Kamloops; Kelowna General Hospital, Cranbrook’s East Kootenay Regional Hospital; and the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital in Trail. The collaborative teams are working togeth-
er to ensure efficient prehospital care, increase the rate of rapid medical interventions, further bestpractice in emergency department stroke care, and help ensure patients at high risk for stroke receive the necessary follow-up. “Across Interior Health, the collaborative teams have been active in making improvements at their sites. They are now looking at expanding the impact of their work to better support consistent stroke care at all of our facilities,” said Interior Health practice lead Lori Seeley. For example, in April KGH hosted the fourth in a series of learning sessions that brought together members of the collaborative and stroke experts from throughout the prov-
ince to share experiences and ideas to date. Staff have been working on incorporating many of the learnings shared through the collaborative to bring further consistency to stroke care in the Central Okanagan. “We would like to recognize the collaboration and commitment of the many partners involved in helping us improve stroke care, including B.C. Ambulance Service and the B.C. Patient Safety Quality Council,” said Interior Health board chairman Norman Embree. “In addition, our hospital emergency departments, diagnostic imaging, rehabilitation services and community care have all been working to improve outcomes for these patients.”

A’s salvage one from Nanaimo Pirates, keep eyes on first place Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
The Okanagan Athletics avoided a sweep at the hands of the Nanaimo Pirates to stay in the thick of the race for top spot in the B.C. Premier Baseball League. After watching the Pirates steal the first three games of the series over the weekend at Elks Stadium, the hometown A’s rebounded in the series finale Sunday afternoon with a 6-1 win. Jordan Ramirez tossed a three hitter for the win, and Dawson Yates had three hits as the A’s pushed their season record to 248. While he wasn’t thrilled with the overall result of the weekend, head coach Evan Bailey said it was important for his A’s to emerge with one win. “That was really big

win for us, to get swept wouldn’t have been very good at all,” said Bailey. “At the end of the day, I’m not really worried about first place. We want to finish top four to get a home playoff series, and that’s what we’re focused on. It’s not about wins and losses, it’s about competing. This wasn’t the greatest weekend for our guys
in that regard, but I expect we’ll bounce back.” The weekend got off to a rocky start for the A’s as Nanaimo scored three unearned runs and pounded out a 9-4 win in the opening game Saturday. Dallis Senger drove in two runs in the loss. In Game 2, a better effort by Okanagan but not still enough as the Pirates eked out a 3-2 win in eight innings. Clint Heidebrecht turned in a solid start in the loss, giving up three hits in seven innings. On Sunday morning, James Walker (4-1) suffered his first loss of 2012 season as the Pirates hammered out an 8-3 win. The A’s headed into the weekend having won 10 of their last 11 games. The A’s (24-8), who entered the weekend in first place, are just 1 1/2 games back of the leagueleading Langley Blaze
(25-6) and 1/2 game back of the Pirates (24-6). The A’s may have been a little rusty after not playing the last two weekends, including being rained out the previous week vs. North Shore, but head coach Evan Bailey wasn’t using that as an alibi for his team’s effort. “It really wasn’t the weekend we were looking for,” said Bailey. “Not to make excuses, but we were off for a couple of weeks and didn’t practice much and it showed. “Nanaimo was the better team on this weekend and they definitely deserved to win. They beat us in pretty much every aspect,” Bailey said. “Overall, I didn’t like our effort.” The Athletics will be on Vancouver Island this coming weekend for four games with the Victoria Eagles.
JUNIOR A’S SWEEP PIRATES While the PBL A’s struggled with Nanaimo, the junior A’s rang up their first sweep of the BCJPBL season taking four games from the Pirates at Edith Gay Park. Will Russell spun a two-hitter and Christian Dupas had three RBIs in a 6-1 win Saturday. Game 2 saw the junior A’s bang out 16 hits in a 19-8 win. Dupas, Trevor Lofstrom, Alden Smith, and Sam Wong each drove in three runs. On Sunday, Lofstrom tossed a five hitter as Okanagan made it three straight with a 6-4 victory. In the series finale, Dupas and Parker Friesen had two RBIs each in a 7-2 A’s win. The junior Athletics (6-14) return to BCJPBL action this weekend in Victoria with four games against the Mariners.
Looking to increase depth and flexibility on his roster, UBC Okanagan men’s volleyball head coach Greg Poitras has brought in a one-time rival to play for the Heat UBCO has signed Rylan Brouwer, a 6-foot3 power hitter, who will transfer from Vancouver Island University to UBC’s Okanagan campus, choosing to move to CIS from the BCCAA for the upcoming season. Brouwer played for Vancovuer Island the past two seasons, helping his team to a PacWest silver medal this past February, and earning rookie of the year honours in his freshman campaign. “He was very deserving of his BCCAA Rookie of the Year award, and he has been an exciting player to watch for the last two years,” said Poitras, who noted that when the Heat and the Mariners matched up with each other in the BCCAA Rylan proved “to be quite the handful.” Mariner coach Abe Avender is excited for Brouwer’s opportunity to jump to the CIS and indicates that his two years at VIU have prepped him for the Heat. “Rylan’s strong determination on and off the court will serve him well in the CIS. He has always expressed a goal to get to play at the CIS level and we are pleased to see he has made his dream a reality with the Heat,” said
Avender. “Rylan is a very driven and committed athlete which is what we look for when recruiting for the Heat team,” added Poitras. “Last season one of the gaps in our roster was depth on the left wing; Rylan will immediately improve that depth with the two years of postsecondary he has under his belt.” A chance at the CIS was not the only factor in Brouwer’s transfer as the Courteney, B.C. native is also looking to the academics offered at UBCO. He will transfer into the Human Kinetics program. “I am very excited to attend UBC Okanagan and to be a part of the men’s volleyball program,” he said. “I value the quality and completeness as well as the good reputation of the Human Kinetics program. Also, on the volleyball side of it, it will be a pleasure to play at the next level alongside great athletes and have the support of a great coaching staff.” In what is becoming an annual tradition the Heat will begin their exhibition season hosting two of the top men’s volleyball teams in the CIS, as they host the University of Alberta Golden Bears on Sept. 21 and the defending back-to-back national champion, the Trinity Western Spartans Saturday Sept. 22. Times and locations to be announced at a later date.

In a battle of goaltenders, the Kelowna Raiders beat the Kamloops Rattlers 5-3 Friday in Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League action. Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Graham Cousins and the Rattlersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mike Smith combined for close to 100 saves in 60 minutes of action, with Cousins and the Raiders emerging victorious at Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memorial Arena. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a pretty defensive game,â&#x20AC;? said Cousins, a native of Elora, Ont., who joined the Raiders part way through last season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of new for us, usually thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little more offense, but we were able to get the win playing that style, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bonus.â&#x20AC;? It was the final regular season home game for the first-place Raiders (8-2) who have two games remaining, June 22 in Armstrong and June 28 in Vernon. The TOSLL playoffs will begin in July.

If there’s a silver lining in losing for the Okanagan Challenge, it’s that they pushed the Pacific Coast Soccer League’s top team to the limit. On Saturday, the unbeaten Vancouver Thunderbirds connected for the game winner during injury time to slip past the Challenge 2-1 at Thunderbird Stadium. “The boys did quite well, I was quite happy with the overall performance,” said Challenge coach Dante Zanatta. “Again it’s just moments, mental mistakes in games that seem to cost us.” After the T-Birds scored early to take a 1-0 lead, the young Okanagan squad held its own for much of the afternoon, with keeper Colin Hasick making some key saves. In the 80th minute, the Challenge drew even on a goal by Dylan Abbott and the local club looked to be on the verge of earning its second point of the season. r But in the 94th minute of play, Vancouver (8-02) converted a corner kick into the game winner to keep the Challenge winless in 2012. “It was poor decision that led to the goal,” Zan-

The Challenge slips to 0-9-1 on the season. “The reality is that there’s a youngness and immaturity on our team,” said Zanatta. “Coqutilam is a young team too, but the difference is they have a lot more players who
have played a higher level of football than ours. “We’ve made a commitment to developing our local players,” he added, “it’s going to take some time, but they’re learning and I think you’ll see the results over time.” The Challenge are back on their home turf this weekend as they take on the Victoria Highlanders Saturday, 7 p.m. at the Apple Bowl. On Sunday, the Challenge will hold its annual alumni game, 2 p.m. at the Apple Bowl.
Touch rugby expands for 2012 The local Touch Rugby League will expand in the 2012 season, with at least eight teams competing for the coveted Da Dobbs Cup, emblematic of touch rugby supremacy in the Central Okanagan. Last year, six teams went start-to-finish in the new league, a brand of rugby played by over a million people south of the equator. Touch rugby is a fitness-oriented sport that includes all the fun, speed, and team play of rugby but eliminates the physical contact found in other versions of the game. The game is played as a mixed sport locally, with six players on the field at one time. Most teams have 10 to 12 players, who substitute on and off the field in a manner similar to hockey. “Last year’s adult touch rugby league was very successful,” said Doug Manning, league coordinator. “Many of the players had little or no experience on a rugby field. This is a game for anyone who enjoys a running game where fitness and team play are vital.” The KSS touch team, a group of graduates from Kelowna Secondary School, won the league
last year. The Bullet AC squad took home the Silver Cup, awarded to the team with the best spirit for the game. The league will run every Monday evening, from July 9 to Aug. 13. Teams play two 30-minute games each night, with the finals played in the last week. A practice session is held for all teams on July 2, where rookies and more experienced players learn the rules of this new game in the region. All sessions run from 6 to 8:30 p.m. “We have eight teams registered so far and are accepting new team and player registrations until June 25, when the league will be drawn up,” said Manning.

SPORTS ▼ MEN’S SOCCER ACTION
Kelowna Men’s Soccer League scores Subcity/Executive Flooring upsets third-place Illegal Aliens In a battle of two topfive teams, Brandt’s Creek Pub FC beat Ecora FC 3-1. Ecora scored early after a strike from the edge of the penalty area from Eric Vivian blew past Brandt’s Todd Swaby. Brandt’s battled back 20 minutes later after Jack Orchard pounced on a scramble to score from close range to even the score. The second half started with Brandt’s going down a man after a controversial red card was given to their top scorer, Gary Allen. This seemed to light
a fire under Brandt’s and they soon buried their second through, once again, Orchard. Brandt’s would wrap up the win with a stellar 25-yard curling strike from Rene Trozzo that went off the post and in. In other action, Subcity/Executive Flooring pulled off a major upset beating third-place Illegal Aliens 2-0, with after a pair of goals from Asef Hashemi. League-leading Modern Furniture Pikeys kept their spot at the top of the
table with a 5-2 win over the resurgent Kon Kast Stallions. Justin Kandola led the way with a pair of goals. LCSC Woody’s Pub got a much needed win after thumping Boca Juniors 6-0. Woody’s leading scorer Ahmed Almoraih kept up his goal scoring pace with a pair of goals and an assist to lead LCSC to the victory. In a hard-fought defensive match, Dakoda’s Celtic and SOB FC blew numerous chances to bury the winning goal on their way

In Memoriam
Today again I walk with you Down through the years gone by. And though unseen I feel you near And ever by my side. I remember the day I met you. And the day God made you mine. I remember the day I lost you. And will till the end of time. Through all the tears and sadness One thing makes me glad. You chose me to share with you Those wonderful years we had. Though tears in my eyes do not glisten, And my face is not always sad. There is never a day or night That I don’t think of the husband I had. Loving you always and missing you forever, ~ Love your family

KIT-KAT ID#269524
1 YEAR 6 MOS DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR SPAYED FEMALE Hi...I’m Kit-Kat. My owners could no longer care for me, I am a really sweet girl, loved to be stroked and enjoy lots of attention. I will show you I am content by how loud I purr. I get along fine with other cats, so wouldn’t mind sharing my forever home. I would do best in a quieter home with older children. If you think you can give me the love and attention that I deserve then come down to the shelter and ask to meet me. I can’t wait to meet you!
TAYLOR 3 YEARS (approx) DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR NEUTERED MALE Taylor is extremely affectionate and quite the talker. He loves to follow you around and is very curious. We feel he would be a great cat for kids as he is mellow yet playful! If you would like to meet Taylor, please come to shelter and ask for an introduction. Came in as a stray

ID#266035
ADULT DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR SPAYED FEMALE She is a lovely cat who has a lovely personality. She would make a wonderful bonding buddy as she likes to be with you and loves to snuggle. She would do well in a moderately active home where she can interact and receive attention. If you would like to meet her, come to the Kelowna SPCA and ask for an introduction to Lou-Lou. Owner surrender
Mooshey had been living in a neighbourhood for some time, was beaten up and injured when he came to us. He is your typical tom cat who loves to lie around and talk away. He is very laid back and would be a good choice for a family who wants an easy-going companion. Please come down to the shelter for a meet and greet, if you have the ideal home for this cute guy. Came in as a stray
CASPER
1 YEAR DOMESTIC MED HAIR NEUTERED MALE
Hi there! My name is Blunder...but don’t let my name fool you. I am not a mistake, adopting me would be the best decision you make. I am the friendliest boy ever, can’t get enough attention, am still fairly young so have plenty of kitten play left in me. I would do best in an active home with older children, cause I can’t get enough love and cuddles. If you have the ‘perfect forever home’ for me, please come down and let me meet you.
2 YEARS (approx) CHINCHILLA MALE
Diego came in with his siblings. Their age is a guesstimate as Chinchillas can live up to 20 years. He is very lively, bright, alert and it would be ideal if all 3 could be adopted together as they are extremely social animals. They have not be socialized well, need lots of love and attention, need special care, so new owners should have previous experience with Chinchillas. Please call for a viewing/meeting with our staff.

3 YEARS (approx) LAB RET/SHAR-PEI X NEUTERED MALE
Cody is a great dog but will need to go on a diet until he drops some of his unhealthy poundage. If you become his new family please know that he is fearful of thunder and fireworks... so please ensure he is in a secure environment during those times. He knows some tricks and has been described as friendly, affectionate and rambunctious. Cody will make a great family companion and hiking partner. If you have the ideal home for him please come and see him in the backyard.

3 YEARS (approx) RED REX RABBIT SPAYED FEMALE Squirl and Chandy seem to be quite friendly and have come from a home environment. Both love Romaine lettuce and don’t mind being handled. They could be adopted together or separately, and it would be best if their new owners were experienced rabbit owners with a hutch/enclosure that has lots of space for comfort. Please come down and meet these cuties if you have the ideal home for them.

CUISINE from Judeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen summer favourites With the longest day of the year tomorrow, and the official start of summer, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m delighted to be able to consider lighter, healthier meals, and the rhubarb season. June 20 is the Summer Solstice, when the hours of daylight are longer than on any other day of the year, and when they begin, almost imperceptibly at first, to get shorter. I love it in summer when the sun can stay up longer than I can; when the first sunbeam bounces off my eyelids just before 5 a.m.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;even though Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m reluctant to leave it at night and hit the hay while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still light outside. Contrast that with winter days when I have to haul my rear out from under that warm quilt and poke my feet into cold slippers in order to go and walk on slippery, icy walkways in the dark before leaving for work in the dark; then come home in the dark, after a day in the office under artificial lights. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m jumping for joy now. So, to celebrate, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m into fresh, light, delicious foods, instead of the heavy stews and casseroles of winter. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been really enjoying the tender greens from the garden, along with all the bright-flavoured first herbs of summer. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to begin trimming them off to dry some for winter, before they blossom. Fresh, young growth will replace what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve cut. A good rule of thumb is to cut oregano back by about a third, and thyme should be trimmed off now before it flowers, for drying. There are lots more recipes using fresh, local herbs in season in my book, Judeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen, available wherever books are sold. By the way, congratulations to junior chef Jenna Angle of the Local Lounge and Grill in Summerland for bringing back top honours to the Okanagan from Halifax and the National Conference when she won the title of Canadian Junior Chef of the Year. JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS
Dianne's Apple Rhubarb Loaf You can even serve this to those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think they like rhubarb. A scoop of ice cream on top makes a nice dessert. 1 1/2 c. (375 ml) rhubarb 1 1/2 c. (375 ml) apples 3/4 c. (175 ml) sugar 1/2 c. (125 ml) oil 4 eggs 3 c. (750 ml) flour 1 c. (250 ml) nuts 1 tbsp. (15 ml) baking powder 1 tsp. (5 ml) cinnamon 1 tsp. (5 ml) salt Pre-heat oven to 350 F, and lower oven rack to the lowest position.
Grease the bottoms of two loaf pans. Combine finely-chopped rhubarb and apples with sugar, oil and eggs. Stir in remaining ingredients (you can use chopped walnuts, pecans, almonds or hazelnuts) and divide the batter between the two pans. Bake for about an hour or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of a loaf comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes on a rack before removing from the pans to fully cool before slicing. This can be refrigerated for up to a week or put into the freezer. Makes two loaves.
Italian Spud Salad There are all sorts of variations on the familiar potato salad. This one incorporates some Italian ideas, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also light on the heavy ingredients, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better for your health and your heart than some recipes for potato salad. You could leave out the eggs if you wish. 2 hard-boiled eggs 4 c. cubed red potatoes 2 stalks of celery 4 med. green onions 1/4 c. (60 ml) fresh parsley 2 tsp. (10 ml) fresh tarragon 1 tbsp. (15 ml) hot pepperoni black olives, to taste
DRESSING: 1/4 c. (60 ml) fat-free plain yogurt 1/4 c. (60 ml) light mayonnaise 1 tbsp. (15 ml) malt vinegar 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) dry mustard 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) fresh-ground black pepper
0RFNWDLOV
1/4 tsp. (1 ml) sea salt Hard boil a couple of eggs and let them cool. Peel and cut into large chunks and set aside. Steam or boil cubes of scrubbed but unpeeled, red potatoes until just tender; then drain and cool. Slice celery and green onion and mince fresh herbs and pepperoni. In a large serving bowl, combine the cold potatoes with celery, onions, herbs and pepperoni, saving back half the fresh parsley to garnish the top. Whisk together the dressing ingredients until thoroughly combined, then gently stir into the potato mixture. Top with hard-boiled egg pieces and black olives, then garnish with the remainder of the fresh, chopped parsley. Refrigerate for a half hour or so before serving. Serves 8-10.
