Coast Capri Hotel fire being called ’suspicious’ Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Kelowna RCMP are investigating what are being described as two “suspicious” fires at the Coast Capri Hotel early Saturday morning that forced an
evacuation of the building. After dealing with what fire department officials say were two separate fires started in two different locations in the hotel’s tower—one in the sixthfloor stairwell and the other in a seventh-floor storage room
that spread up into the eighth “floor”—investigators turned over the case to police. The only injury reported was to a firefighter who suffered burns to his hands. “The key was getting everyone out safely,” said hotel gen-
eral manager Gavin Parry. “The staff did a fantastic job of getting everyone out.” Hundreds of hotel guests were evacuated, with many having to spend the night at other hotels in the city. As a result of the fire, doz-
ens of airline passengers were also thrown off schedule later that day because several WestJet flight crews staying at the hotel and also had to be evacuated. See Fire A9

B.C. Premier Christy Clark told a Liberal party fundraiser in Kelowna last week that next May’s provincial election will be the most important in decades. While that is said by politicians prior to every election, Clark said it is particularly true this time because she fears for B.C.’s free-enterprise economy if the NDP form the next government. And while Clark didn’t address the current popularity of the B.C. Conservative Party under former federal Conservative MP John Cummins, it was was a hot topic among many of the 150 guests invited to the Liberals outdoor barbecue Thursday afternoon. Hosted on the family farm of Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson, the guest-list included a who’s who local movers and shakers and powerbrokers. The numbers were bolstered by several cabinet ministers, who along with Clark were in West Kelowna earlier in the week for a cabinet retreat.

Trevor Shannon found guilty of second-degree murder once again Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Family and friends of Evan Wilkes let out sighs of relief when the jury deciding his killer’s fate returned to court with a guilty verdict after two days of deliberations. Trevor Shannon, 27, was found guilty of second-degree murder for fatally shooting Wilkes during an argument at a 2007 high school graduation party. “The argument should have been inconsequential,� said BC Supreme Court Justice Bruce But-
ler, Friday, before giving Shannon a life-sentence with eligibility to parole in 10 years. “Wilkes (taunted) Trevor Shannon‌.But (Shannon’s) actions were callous and without reason.â€? According to testimony rendered throughout the trial, Shannon, then 22, had gone with a small group of friends to a Vimy Avenue party that was in full swing, April 2007. While he knew a few people there, conditions between Shannon’s friends and the teens
quickly showed signs of strain that culminated in a scuffle. To end a building conflict Shannon, then a drug-dealer who carried a gun for protection, pulled out his weapon. It worked. The threat was defused when the gun appeared, but not long after that Shannon and his friends were expelled from the house. That’s when Wilkes, 18, and Shannon had their fatal altercation. Standing outside the house, in the driveway, Wilkes mocked Shannon for carrying a fake gun.
‘‘ WILKES (TAUNTED) TREVOR SHANNON‌. BUT (SHANNON’S) ACTIONS WERE CALLOUS AND WITHOUT REASON.â€? Judge Bruce Butler ed the fatal blast to come back with the second degree murder conviction.
It’s the second time that Shannon’s been handed a guilty verdict. He was tried in 2008 for the crime, and appealed that conviction. His won in 2011, and the re-trial started three weeks ago. Now 27, Shannon has spent nearly five years behind bars—which will be used against the sentence he got Friday— but Justice Butler said he felt he was a strong candidate for rehabilitation. He has a Grade 12 education, and is a “talented and articulate young man.�
“While this was a senseless, meaningless and irrational, it was a momentary loss of control,� he said, also noting “There is no more serious offence than the crime of murder.� Shannon declined an opportunity to speak before sentencing and appeared calm when the verdict and sentence was deilvered. Members of both Wilkes and Shannon’s family declined to offer comment after the sentence was rendered. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

New B.C. push to catch drunk drivers
“Will I get caught?� is the million-dollar question for drinking drivers as the government dedicates more funding to enforcing B.C.’s tough impaireddriving laws and promotes responsible driving decisions at key locations where alcohol is served. As summer CounterAttack road checks ramp up in July, about $1 million will be added to enhance traffic enforcement budgets. This will increase the number of police roadblocks and the likelihood of catching those who ignore warnings about drinking and driving, as well as those who drive while impaired by drugs. Those warnings will continue in related awareness advertising. A television ad airing throughout June has reminded drivers to take their turn as a designated driver, and a CounterAttack ad started airing province-wide Monday.

But, recognizing the growing popularity of the NDP in recent public opinion polls and the dropping approval ratings for her government, Clark urged the crowd to work for her party over the coming months so the Liberals can be re-elected next spring. “We need you,� she said. “Without your support, everything we have worked for could be ripped up.� Clark also returned to the message that helped her win the Liberal leadership last year after former party leader and premier Gordon Campbell quit, pushed out in part due to
the unpopular Harmonized Sales Tax. Clark said she got back into politics because of families and she wanted to make B.C. the best place in the country for families. She ran for the leadership on a “families first� platform. “Because, when our families are strong, our country is a great one,� she said. And despite the fact the Liberals have won three elections in a row, the premier painted herself and her party as the underdog heading into the next spring’s vote. She spoke of the L.A.

Mission Creek on the rise again Alistair Waters

Mission Creek appears to be on the rise again. According to Central Okanagan Regional Emergency Program officials, the main creek feeding Okanagan Lake once again approached record levels on Sunday, as a result of more than 40 millimetres of rain falling in the watershed Saturday. Early Sunday there was a rapid rise in the creek’s level and flow following the heavy rainfall, which dropped more than 40 millimetres of rain in the watershed in a 10-hour period. “Local crews continue to monitor weather conditions and the levels and flows of area water courses as they could see further increases as a result of any additional rainfall,� said CORD’s Bruce Smith. “People should be aware that creeks could rise unexpectedly.� While the level showed a slight decrease later in the day, emergency program officials are urging caution
as additional rain could see another increase. As a result of the rising waters, the regional district closed the two Mission Creek Greenway underpasses at the Casorso Road Bridge and the Gordon Drive Bridge. Both underpass routes will remain closed until creek waters recede and the trails can be assessed for safety, said the regional district’s Bruce Smith. Pedestrians and cyclists are asked to use caution and only cross Casorso Road and Gordon Drive when it is safe. Motorists are also asked to watch for Greenway users who may be crossing at those locations while the underpasses are closed. As well, a low lying section of the Mission Creek Greenway is now closed between the Cedar Bridge (second bridge) and Smoothing Stone Bridge (third bridge) along Phase 2 of the recreational trail. All property owners in low lying areas near creeks and streams are being urged to protect their proper-
ties from potential flooding. Meanwhile, officials with emergency program and Joe Rich Fire Rescue are continuing to monitor the status of a property adjacent to Mission Creek in the Joe Rich area. On Sunday, a professional engineer checked the private property, in the 11200-block of Highway 33 near the Three Forks Bridge. While Mission Creek is flowing around the principle residence, the engineer said there was no action that could be safely completed due to the high water. The same property was threatened two weeks ago due to high water levels in the adjacent creek. Joe Rich Fire Rescue said it will continue to monitor the property in the event there are any changes, while the warning to keep people and pets a safe distance from creek banks, as they may be slippery and unstable and could be subject to erosion and undercutting from high flows during this runoff, remains in place.

Food bank kicks off Christmas in July Two fires started at hotel campaign as client demand spikes Fire from A1 That meant the crews didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the prescribed rest required to be able to fly the next day. By 7 a.m. Saturday,J8 several scheduled flights had been cancelled and the airport terminal teemed with travellers who were angry at being re-routed. Airport representatives said all passengers were given alternate flights and the bottleneck of stranded travellers was cleared by the end of the day Sunday. Parry said the hotelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tower holds 48 of the hotelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 185 rooms. The rooms in the two wings were not affected by the fire. While the entire hotel was initially evacuated, many guests were allow ed back around 9 a.m. Sunday, said Parry. He said the hotel hosted a wedding Saturday night and that went ahead as planned. According to the hotel manager, the damage will cost in excess of $100,000 to repair, much of it caused by water used to fight the flames and smoke. The hotelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third and fourth floors are expected to re-open later this week and the fifth floor a short time later. The six and seventh floors, where the fires started, will take longer to re-open as they sustained the most damage. Parry said Monday the hotel was open, up and running. On Monday the hotel still had large fans run-

ning in the lobby, trying to clear the smell of smoke and had ceiling tiles missing to help dry out building. What was described as the eighth floor by firefighters is actually a landing for the elevator shaft and is not public floor. The chaos-causing fire was called in at 1:21 a.m. Saturday morning. Upon arrival, the Kelowna Fire Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crews found heavy smoke billowing from the top floors of the building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Initial attack crews also reported heavy smoke in the hallways from the third floor up to the seventh floor and located fire in the sixth floor stairwell and on the seventh floor with extension into an eighth floor mezzanine,â&#x20AC;? said Thomas Doherty, deputy fire chief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Firefighters worked quickly and diligently to locate and contain the fires on the sixth, seventh and eighth floors of the hotel as well as ensuring all guests were evacuated from the entire hotel with the assistance of RCMP.â&#x20AC;?
Doherty said hotel staff and guests were also instrumental in the safe evacuation by following the fire safety plan and emergency evacuation plans in place, although not all exited unscathed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One firefighter was taken to Kelowna General Hospital for treatment of second-degree burns to his hands and has since been released, no other injuries were reported,â&#x20AC;? he said. Doherty said alternative arrangements were made to accommodate those hotel guests who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return to their rooms because of the fire damage. In all, 358 guests were initially evacuated from the hotel, Doherty said. The exact cost of the damage to the hotel has yet to be determined. Anyone with any information about the fire is asked to call the Kelowna RCMP at 250-7623300, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.crimestoppers.net to report. awaters@kelownacapnews.com
The Kelowna Community Food Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 21st annual Christmas in July Campaign starts this week as community need for its services continues to escalate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We saw significantly higher numbers this spring,â&#x20AC;? said Vonnie Lavers, the food bank executive director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Demand is up 12 per cent over this time last year. Our inventory has taken a hit forcing us to limit and substitute some staples.â&#x20AC;? Lavers said the food bank fortunately received a timely food shipment from Calgary this week, as the truck driver of the donated food had to overcome floods, landslides and mechanical failure to get the 25,000 pounds of non-perishable food to the Ellis Street warehouse. Kathryn Sim, Calgary Food Bank communications co-ordinator, explained that cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food bank service is able to share food to other food bank outlets across Western Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many large food

Lavers said the Calgary shipment will be shared among area food banks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is going to see us into July, but we need to have a successful summer campaign to meet our high back-toschool demand.â&#x20AC;? This year, the Kelowna food bank has set a goal to raise $50,000 and 200,000 pounds of food, but Lavers admited that the past two campaigns have not met their targets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Times have been tough, businesses and households have been struggling to make ends meet.

Home ownership will get tougher
T
he Harper government has plenty to celebrate this past Canada Day. The Conservatives have been busy in recent months, remaking Canada into the nation they’ve always dreamed of: one with a permanent underclass to provide an endless supply of cheap labour for the corporate elite. First the Conservatives began dismantling Canada’s Old Age Security program, stripping away any hopes for an early retirement from the working
class. The government then set to work on Employment Insurance, bringing forward a proposal that would see any worker with the audacity to lose their job forced to take any work that comes along. But the most devastating blow might be delivered by the changes to Canada’s mortgage rules coming on July 9. Home buyers will now need to put at least 20 per cent down, with the amortization period reduced to 25 years. Finance Minister Jim Fla-
herty said the new rules are designed to reduce the risk of bank foreclosures. It’s hard to argue with that, as it’s hard to foreclose on something you don’t own. And that’s the one certainty these new rules will bring about: an end to the dream of home ownership for thousands of Canadians. The vast majority of firsttime buyers will not qualify for a mortgage under the new rules. And with so many buyers now out of the market, housing prices are bound to take a hit.
For the vast majority of Canadians, their home represents their largest single investment. That investment is now about to be significantly devalued, if not out of reach altogether. Not to worry, just tack a couple more years of minimum-wage work onto your golden years. But all is not lost. Parliament has now passed legislation making it easier to transport wine across provincial borders. And God knows Canadian workers have ample reason to want to drown their sorrows.

But there was a way to deal
with that threat and still accept the money. The government could have just made an agreement with Interior Health that put a time-limit on how long it will be before consideration is given to equipping, staffing and using the added floor. It obviously has a rough timeline in mind now as to how long it will be before the building will need to expand. So why not just put that in writing and take the money and run? After all, it is going to build the centre with the capability to add a fourth floor later. The regional hospital board offered to pay for, and shell in, a fourth floor on the IHSC after an earlier offer
to lend the province the $8.35 million was rebuffed. The board made a similar loan to Victoria in order to get the top two floors added to the new Centennial Building at KGH. The board figures that the cost of adding a fourth floor will be at least double when the province gets around to building it, the KGH site is a compact place to build and adding a new floor to a building full of high-tech, sensitive equipment and sick people will be no easy task in future. But Victoria doesn’t see it that way. According to Premier Christy Clark, there will be operating costs for the empty floor and her government doesn’t have the money to pay them. As for her health minister, Mike
de Jong, he has been strangely silent on the issue despite attempts to get an answer. (The actual rejection of the offer was left to his deputy minister.) The Central Okanagan is, and should be, grateful for the money being spent here to improve health facilities. But with an growing and aging population, the day will come when this area needs a bigger heat centre than the one being planed now. The government’s rejection of free money now for something it will pay for in future, even if it’s many years down the road— is just shortsighted.

LETTERS ▼ DOGS
Mission Dog Park is just too swampy To the editor: The Mission Sports Fields on Gordon Road do not resemble a marsh. But before they were built, that’s what they were. It must have cost the city a great deal to raise the land well above the water table. Had that not been done, the sports fields might resemble the nearby Mission Dog Park, where pools of water collect each year after a rainfall. At .72 hectares (about 1.78 acres) the area of
Mission Dog Park is barely a fraction of the of the sports fields. The cost to raise the park above the water table would have been a mere fraction of what it cost to prepare the sports fields. Although dogs parks are used year round, and sports fields only 45 to 60 days a year, the city did not think the large dog-owning community in Kelowna was worthy of the cost to raise the ground level of a 0.72-hectare field. The Kelowna Dog Association was founded in
September 2011 to address the various concerns of dog owners. But it was the sorry state of Mission Dog Park in the spring of 2011 that gave birth to the association. This year, a few improvements were made by the city’s parks department. As well, mounds of wood-chips have been spread over areas that were flooded last spring. The chips have helped, but they are not a solution to land with a high water table.
Build a house on a swamp, or on wood chips, and no one will buy it or live in it. Fence a marsh, or an abandoned field, name it a dog park, and dog owners will be so grateful that even annual flooding and general neglect are accepted. There more than 130 urban parks in Kelowna that ban dogs. Viewed as a swap for six urban off-leash dog parks and three distant ones (Ellison, Glenmore, and Cedar Creek) that are not within
residential communities, is it a fair exchange? In 2012, the average cost to maintain parks per hectare is estimated at $8,130. The average cost to maintain the nine dog parks is about $2,600 per hectare. Are dog owners really asking too much if they dare ask for more? So far, the people at Parks Services and the City seem to think so.

Professional haulers don’t dump trash in bush To the editor: Re: Dumping trash in isolated areas. I saw the picture on the front page of Thursday’s Capital News and read Judie Steeves’ story in the newspaper. There may be some people who dump their
trash in remote areas but that is not the whole problem. Being in the disposal business, I hear people on the phone all the time saying that they can get their trash removed for $20 to $50. But this has to be
somebody out there trying to make a quick dollar. Everything we haul goes to the Glenmore landfill or recycling— where the rates are anywhere from $8 to $150. I can’t see contractors dumping their waste in remote areas, they have
probably paid someone to dispose of it in the right manner. We live and work in this area and thrive on keeping B.C. a clean and beautiful province. These pictures and comments are disturbing to me as it is nice to have
trails that you can walk through and enjoy the beauty of the area, not garbage.

Why wait to do your part to change the world
To the editor: We see the need to change the world, but seem to be waiting for permission. What are we saving it from, the unfair treatment doled out by Nature in response to our exploiting and polluting her? When we speak of the world’s problems, the conversation gets entangled and lost in the plethora of causes which never seem to include ourselves. We’re stuck in the “It’s not me, it’s you” mentality – like someone smelled a fart but nobody did it. Truthfully, the state of
the world stinks. The environment is shifting evermore towards unpredictability. The economy’s got a right-leaning top-heavy stature that is ready to collapse. Our communities are limited to our Facebook requests and retweets. The ever-growing list of consumables is increasingly being priced beyond our means, solved by predatory credit agencies scavenging the remains of our monthly budgets. Our food is less nutritious than dirt. Our medicine has us on a perpetual treadmill of
increasing doses and treatable side effects. Our democracy has taken the ironic stance of muzzling its citizens and ceding power to the heaviest bank account. And the rich have inherited the Earth. In the comic books, this would be considered Bizarro World. What’s one to do but despair what is lost? Fare thee well democracy, economy and community.

Canadian mining in question To the editor: Mining, mining, mining. So many of these (government) trade missions are concerned with mining. I think (Kelonwa-Lake Country MP Ron) Cannan needs to catch up with the critique of the behaviour of Canadian mining companies in foreign locales. Typically, the compan-
ies roar in, tear apart communities, displace peoples, destroy forests and farmland, contaminate rivers and drinking water, often engaging in human rights abuses, if not murder, and never leave again unless the mines are exhausted or they’re run out by angered people. Just days ago the CBC uploaded a docu-
mentary onto its website, The New Conquistadors, about the epic conflict between Canadian mining companies in Panama and the local people who want them out: http://www.cbc. ca/thenational/thenewconquistadors/ Dianne Varga, Concordia University Montreal
must part ways. Will this lead us in a better direction? Are we being too passive, letting go of what our forefathers sacrificed so much to create? Is this the mature decision to make? Is there an evacuation plan or something to fall back on? If not, perhaps we should take a step back and reassess our situation. We can change things, and it will take a lot of people to accomplish it. These people must be looking for hope. These people must be barking solutions, not gripes.
These people need everyone else. We must understand our problems in terms of their essence, purifying the complexity down to the basics if we wish to create improvement. Our minds form the culture’s immune system, and nothing outside the brain can fix it. Setting this belief in place, with enough faith, we can strengthen its capability to infiltrate the status quo and reclaim a world that we have the right to service. Darrin Fiddler, Kelowna

Understanding C new super foods
hether you are in debt and trying to become debt free, or you question on a weekly basis where your money goes, there are some investment strategies to get you started on knowing where you are financially. Live within your
means. What does that really mean to most people? Determine the difference between a need and a want. Create a budget and stick to it. Once you start to see the benefit of knowing where your money goes, a budget summary and cash flow projection turns into
FISCAL FITNESS
Doreen Smith a positive way of tracking your finances. A budget will help you determine your cash flow and net income on one side of the balance sheet, and on the other side you will have your expense summary. With your budget sheet, you can determine whether the expenses are needs or wants of yours and your family. Understand debt. Consolidate all your debt into the lowest interest rate possible on all your outstanding debt. Moving all your debt to one loan with the lowest interest rate will reduce your interest rate costs substantially. If you can replace 18 or 28 per cent interest rate costs typically charged on consumer credit cards with a four per cent line of credit, you will pay off your debt years earlier. It is easier to manage debt when it is consolidated. Get an emergency plan in place. You have to plan for the unexpected
because it happens. A death or illness in the family, a car repair, an urgent home repair; these can all qualify as an unexpected emergency expense. A temporary unexpected expense can derail the best intentions on your budget. If you have an emergency plan in place, then you have access to some much needed cash. When your emergency plan involves the need for short term borrowing, ensure you are able to borrow it at the lowest interest rate possible. When the emergency is over, repay your emergency debt as soon as you can. Then replenish your emergency debt in case you need to draw from it again in the near future. Be proactive about debt repayment. If you want to be come debt free make it a focus in your life. Debt reduction can come in many forms over a lifetime. You can choose to make extra mortgage payments on your home mortgage and pay off your mortgage years ahead of schedule. Banks, credit unions, mortgage brokers all need you to continue with mortgage debt to make money for them, not you. Credit card companies encourage you to use their credit cards to make a

profit for them, and prefer you to carry a balance each month. Update your debt repayment schedule regularly to keep you motivated. Less then 30 per cent of Canadians ask their certified financial planner to discuss debt repayment strategies. It is an important part of your financial plan to make the best personal choices on debt management, and your CFP can help you select the right choices. A budget can be compared to a diet. If you fall off a diet, the best advice is to get started again on your diet. With a budget and you splurge on a want and not a need, then focus on getting back on track with your budget. Focus is the key to building wealth. Doreen Smith is a certified financial planner with Capri Wealth Management Inc. 250-869-3825 www.DoreenSmithCFP.com

“Super food” is a term used to promote certain foods as having additional health benefits beyond basic nutrition. But have you ever wondered if these super foods can really make a big difference in your diet and your health? Let’s take a look at three of these super foods and the hype surrounding them.
QUINOA (PRONOUNCED ‘KEEN-WAH’)
Quinoa has become increasingly popular with the attention surrounding ancient grains. It is a good source of fibre, protein, and minerals and is a popular glutenfree choice that can be included in salads, entrées, and even desserts. Quinoa has a nutty flavour, with a fluffy yet crunchy texture. It comes in a variety of colours including yellow, red, pink, and black. It takes only 15 minutes to cook in boiling water and is a great alternative to other grains like rice and pasta.
GOJI BERRIES (WOLFBERRIES)
Goji berries are small red fruits that are a common ingredient in traditional Chinese cuisine.

They are mildly sweet and sour, and can be in-M corporated into a varietym of dishes, including soups,a p stews, or desserts. They are usually soldg as juice or dried. Goji juiceB is ready for consumptiona but dried goji berries needj to be cooked. Goji berriesa are a source of a varietyO of minerals and vitaminS C; however, the vitamin C content varies amongsto the dried berry products. e There are sever-t al health claims associat-f ed with this berry includ-c ing lowered blood choles-f terol levels and anti-agingH benefits; however, more research is needed to sup-m t port these claims. Goji berries are at source of several nutrientsh but they should not replace other foods in yourn t diet. e t CHIA SEEDS Chia seeds, grown andn harvested in South Ameri-d ca and Mexico, have beeno touted as a popular “supern p food.” Some research shows that chia seeds have the potential to support heart and digestive health, thanks to their high fat (as omega-3 fatty acid) and fibre content. Chia seeds have a mild, almost non-existent flavour, and contain no cholesterol. They are gluten free and low in saturated fats. Chia seeds are recommended as a protein choice for vegetarians and vegans, as they contain all the amino acids we need to consume. Chia seeds can be purchased as ground whole chia seeds, chia flour, and chia oil. Chia flour can be used as a gluten-free alternative in place of all-purpose flour. So chia seeds can be a great food choice but should be treated as an addition to your diet and not an agent of disease prevention. These super foods may be beneficial in many ways but they should not be a replacement for a well-balanced diet. Give these foods a try by adding them to your favourite dishes for some extra nutrition and variety!

Combine business with technology John Leech CONTRIBUTOR
I visited Kelowna in March to meet with comymunity leaders and region,al members of the Applied Science, Technologists and Technicians of eBritish Columbia, and to nagain enjoy one of the madjor events our professional association sponsors—the Okanagan College annual nSpaghetti Bridge Contest. n Again this year, scores of students and teachers from the K-12 system -took part, with students -from throughout B.C. competing against those -from nations as distant as gHungary and Japan. Several other community-minded organizations join us in supporting the event. And there was history. This was the 29th anrnual edition of the contest—organized, promoted and supported over those many years by Okanagan College. So why -do our 10,000 technology professionals give financial and technical support to a “fun and games, s

John Leech student event?” For a host of reasons. We have the means, opportunities and the obligation to do something important for our province. We promote science and technology to our youth, as a path for their education and for career development. We seek to inspire their curiosity, their interest in math and science, engineering and technology. They are urgently needed for a universe of rewarding, secure careers opening in applied science and technology. That “silver tsunami” of retirements has begun —and it includes technologists, technicians and technical specialists.
B.C. already has shortages in several engineering and technology fields that help drive our provincial economy. It’s not enough to want to design and develop the games that will be played on their X-Boxes and PS3s. We need bright young minds to develop and maintain the systems and networks that enable people to work and play together. Remote medical care and robotic surgery increasingly rely on technicians, technologists, robotics experts and network and telecommunication specialists to keep many of us alive and healthy. As urgently as we need tradespeople to build B.C.’s infrastructure, we need the civil and design engineers and technologists to design, oversee and manage the projects. We can’t assume that someone else, in another jurisdiction, will provide the innovation or the expertise that invents, drives and maintains new technology. We need to continue to develop the cap-
acity here in British Columbia. Our own young men and women are a vital resource and we have every reason—selfish and otherwise—to ensure that British Columbians are trained, employed and rewarded properly. I’ve been thrilled watching students wrestle with spaghetti and glue guns as they apply basic principles of physics, and felt their excitement as they test their bridges to the breaking point. In the process, we see them developing a culture of applied science learning that will lead many of the competitors to more advanced opportunities in science and technology. By next March, with much consultation and discussion behind us, ASTTBC plans to have developed a technology training plan for the province, drawing input and advice not only from our members, employers and industry associations, but also involving the school districts and the great B.C. post-secondary institutions including Okanagan

The plan, which we’ll share with government, should give us direction and focus on how we can work together to inspire the curiosity and interest that is at the heart of events such as the Spaghetti Bridge contest, the Western Canada Robocup Competition and the Math Contest.

SENIORS The benefits of exercise for older adults
W
e all know that exercise is good for us, but as a senior it’s truly one of the best things you can do for yourself. About 60 per cent of people over age 64 are considered sedentary. An inactive lifestyle causes older adults to lose ground in areas that are important for staying healthy, happy and independent. Don’t worry about exercise being too strenuous —it is actually a greater risk not to exercise. Even moderate physical activity can improve the health of those who are frail or who have diseases that accompany aging. Exercising regularly produces long-term benefits, and improves health for some who already have diseases and disabilities. Consider these benefits: • Increased mental capacity. Research links physical activity with slower mental decline, and it is now known to be beneficial in preventing

Bobbi Kittle dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. • Increased strength, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, and range of motion. • Enhanced immune system. • Increased energy. • Enriched sexuality. • Exercise delays or prevents many diseases associated with aging. • Injuries take longer to heal as we age, so regular exercise by older adults may speed up the wound-healing process. • Improved mood, quality of life, and increased sense of purpose as studies have found that previously sedentary seniors who incorporated exercise into their lifestyles not only improved physical function, but experienced psychological

benefits as well. • Increased balance and coordination, which helps prevent falls—a major cause of broken hips and other injuries that often lead to disability and loss of independence. • Increased life expectancy. • Improved self esteem, self-confidence and sense of pride. • Decreased blood pressure, stress, and insomnia. • Assistance with weight control and improved digestion. • Improved posture. As we age, we must adjust to changing roles. While some factors are unavoidable, it is possible to stave off other factors which force many older people to relinquish roles that are a meaningful part of their identity. As an instructor of seniors’ fitness classes, I understand how important it is to have social interaction with my participants. I am ever mindful that some of them live alone, and that my class may be the most significant social activity of their day. Here are some tips on making social connections through exercise: Find a Buddy: Exercising with another person can help motivate you and make your workouts more interesting. Play a Sport: Joining a team is a great way to meet people and have fun! Exercise for Charity: Bike rides, 5Ks, and other events are great fundraisers for charity. You’ll meet hundreds of people, get some exercise, and raise money for a good cause, too. Join a Class: Group fitness classes are also a great way to meet people and add a social element to your workout. ebobbi@pursuitfitness.ca

the Public Guardian and Trustee. It is a good idea to talk to a lawyer about making an enduring power of attorney (except in the Yukon, where it is always necessary). Because it is a very powerful legal document, it may be helpful to have a lawyer assist, to ensure a senior understands its risks and benefits. In some situations, a senior can appoint a trust company to deal with some or all of their financial affairs. If a senior becomes incapable of making decisions for themselves, there are laws in every province and territory that allow the court to appoint a decision-maker for them. The court can also appoint a new decision-maker if the person the senior appointed dies or is unable to act. There are laws in Canada that allow people close to a senior to make health care decisions for them if they can’t make them themselves. In some provinces and territories, seniors can make a legal document naming someone to help them make health care decisions.

Schultz became an unrestricted free agent when he decided not to sign with the Anaheim Ducks, who selected him in the second round (43rd overall) of the 2008 draft. Schultz was con-
sidered the best NHLready defenceman among the rookies up for the entry draft this year, aided by the fact he turns 22 on Friday. He joins a team of young stars that includes
Jordan Eberle and Sam Gagner along with the last three number one overall draft picks, Ryan NugentHopkins, Taylor Hall and Nail Yakupov. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The core of young talented players they have there is very impressive,â&#x20AC;? Schultz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be able to have the opportunity to grow up and play with those will be pretty cool.â&#x20AC;? Edmonton GM Steve Tambellini said locking up Schultz for two seasons is a coup for the youthful Oilers, who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made the playoffs since 2006. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This signing means so much to us,â&#x20AC;? Tambellini said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was his choice of probably wherever he wanted to go in the National Hockey League. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For him to choose us
for the right reasons and confirm that he wanted to be part of this organization going forward with the likes of some of the elite young players we have seen here in the last couple of years is so exciting for us.â&#x20AC;? Schultz played parts of three seasons with the BCHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Westside Warriors, from 2006 to 2009, scoring 25 goals and 91 points in 108 games. At Wisconsin, the 6-foot-1, 185-pound blue liner scored 40 goals and added 73 assists in 121 games. Schultz was a two-time finalist for the Hobey Baker award as the top player in U.S. college hockey, and the WCHA defensive player of the year in 2012.

United to host provincial playdowns One of the largest soccer events of the season in the province will descend on the city this week as Kelowna plays host to the B.C. Soccer Girls Provincial B Cup. Kelowna United will be represented by teams in five of the six divisions as close to 900 players and 46 teams will compete at the Mission sports fields from Thursday, July 5 to Sunday, July 8. United will field teams in the U13, U14, U15, U16, and U18 divisions. Kelowna U14 coach
Rob Johnson said his team is looking forward to a intense weekend of competition on its home soil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the girls are really excited about the opportunity,â&#x20AC;? said Johnson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been to provincials before, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a really good experience the first time around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Playing at home may add some pressure, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also going to be nice for them to have family and friends around.â&#x20AC;? The U14 girls went unbeaten during the regu-

Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At provincials, it will be all about who comes to play, because I think the skill level of all the teams will be fairly close.â&#x20AC;?

Junior Heat basketball program benefits young prospects Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
It’s a perfect fit, and young, elite basketball players in the Okanagan now have an outlet to play competitive basketball in the off-season. The Junior Heat basketball program has grown from just a single team to six teams this year as UBC Okanagan has partnered with community basketball coaches to provide a grassroots program aimed at developing basketball talent in the Okanagan Valley. Three girls and three boys basketball teams have been playing basketball under the Junior Heat basketball banner this year. It is continued growth for the program which started with just a single team a few years back, then grew to two teams

He’s a bigger, older and more mature. And after playing all the way to the Canadian midget hockey championship with the Saskatoon Contacts last season, the Kelowna Rockets are high on 2011 first round pick Rourke Chartier. Chartier was in Kelowna last week working out at the Rockets’ gym. The Saskatoon native is hoping he can take another step this year in his development and make the Rockets team out of training camp. “Last year when I came to camp it was a feeling out process,” said Chartier. “I didn’t really know what to expect. This year I will know more about what is going on and feel more comfortable. I’d like to make the team out of camp.” Chartier was in Kelowna this week work-

It was an eye opener for the 16-year-old Saskatoon native to workout with a guy like McMillan, who has over 80 games of NHL action under his belt. “It’s cool to see them,” he admitted. “Those are guys you watch and you think that’s where you want to be.” Last season was
Chartier’s first as a midget player and he made an impact with the Contacts, Saskatoons’s top midget AAA team. He finished second in team scoring with 23 goals and 34 assists for 57 points in 42 games. The Rockets are hoping the 5-foot-10 centre can transition into a top forward in the WHL. “Rourke is a player that we believe will become one of our leading scorers within a few years,” said Rockets’ head coach Ryan Huska. “He sees the ice very well and is a very intelli-

After his team won the Saskatchewan AAA league, they advanced to the Telus Cup, the Canadian midget hockey championships. His team lost out in the semi-final game but won the bronze medal game.

Positive results for Ogopogo Club swimmers at meet held in Lumby
The Ogopogo Summer Swim Club sent 57 swimmers to Lumby late last month to compete in the third swim meet of the season. Despite battling severe weather challenges, many outstanding results were achieved by the Ogopogo swimmers in the outdoor pool. With almost two months of training under their belts, the Ogos have been working hard and it is certainly paying off. Corbin Tangermann, Isis Darosa, and Justin Andruchow all did very well competing in their first ever swim meet as Ogopogo swimmers. Tangermann, Kyra Sewell, Alex Sewell, Sydney Reynolds, Julian Mohammed, Katie Mervyn, Michelle Kraetzer, Julianna Hansen, Lauren Gray, Marli Gallagher, Anna Fahlgren, Anders Fahlgren, Isis Darosa, Warrick Crumb, Maddox Crumb, and Justin Andruchow all swam hard to achieve best times. Bringing in the most points for the club were first place finishers: • Madison Dickie (div. 4 100 breast) • Mary Koehle (div. 6 100 back, 50 fly) • Andrea Kraetzer (div.1 100 IM)
• Michelle Kraetzer (div.3 50 breast) • Logan Lalonde (div. 3 100 IM, 50 free, 50 back, 50 breast, 100 free) • Matthew MacDonald (div 3. 50 fly) • Denzel Mohamed (open category two 200 IM, 50 free, 100 fly, 50 fly,100 back, 100 breast, 100 free) • Julia Nickerson (open category one 100 IM, 50 free, 50 fly, 50 back, 50 breast, 100 free) • Emalie Schueler (div. 4 50 free, 100 free), Matt Tran (div. 6 100 fly, 50 fly, 100 breast) Madelyn DeGruchy knocked an outstanding 31.86 seconds off of her 100 IM. Kyra Sewell and Robin Dunn also beat their previous individual medley times by over 20 seconds. Other notable swims were achieved by Katie Mervyn who beat her 50 backstroke time by nearly 11 seconds, and Riley Adams and Kyle Wilson, both knocking over 8 seconds off of their previous 100 freestyle times. The Ogos took part in the 65th annual Ogopogo swim meet at the H20 centre in Kelowna this past weekend. Results will be published later this week in the Capital News.

Invisi-bulls post shutout win over Barcekelona to remain tied for first In the first set of games in a double-header week for the division two of the Kelowna Men’s Soccer League, the Invisi-bulls flexed their muscles while their co-habitants atop the division, Euro FC, sat idle with a bye. With a pair of goals from Braeden Pistawka the Bulls easily handled Barcekelona in a 4-0 win. Kevin Konrad picked up the win in goal for the Bulls. FBFC picked up a dominating win of their own, dismantling Fresh Air FC, 6-0. Spartan Metal’s good
stretch of play was tamed a bit after a humbling loss to Iris Optometry Wave, 4-0. Dustin Koepke broke out with a dominating performance, scoring a hat-trick in the second half alone. YOLO FC and Lifeworks Chiropractic played to a barn-burning four-all tie. LCSC Athletics almost got their second win of the season, but fell 3-2 to Gunners FC.
JUNE 28 GAMES Euro FC stayed atop division two in the second set of a double-header by
drawing the upstart Lifeworks Chiropractic. Extending things to a seven-game unbeaten streak, Lifeworks looked set to win until Euro capitalized on a goal that saw Lifeworks keeper clear a ball off his own defender and into the net. Steve Nettleton and Alex MacNaul would score for Euro, while James Whillian and Luke Turri got the markers for Lifeworks. LCSC Athletics would pick up a rare, but welldeserved win over Fresh Air FC, 3-1. Ian Hogabaum would score a hat trick
to lead the Athletics to the win. The Invisi-Bulls slipped up losing to a feisty FBFC 5-1. Ryan Caig scored twice to take the win from co-leaders of the division. YOLO FC defeated Spartan Metal 3-1, but things didn’t look so promising after Spartan Metal scored in the opening 30 seconds. However, YOLO rushed back in the second half to score three goals and secure the win. Iris Optometry Wave FC would beat the Gunners FC 4-2.

Obituaries Helen Holyk 1923-2012.
Helen Holyk passed away on May 10, 2012 at the age of 88. Helen was a remarkable woman who lived a rewarding life filled with challenges. Helen is survived by her beloved grandchildren Angela Bailey and James Bailey and son-in-law Geoff Bailey, who all presently live in Edmonton. She was predeceased by her son, Glen, her daughter Christine, her husband Walter, and her son Nick. Helen was a caring high achiever throughout her life. In 1947 she was named Woman of the Year at UBC for her work helping servicemen integrate into university after WWII. After marrying Walter and starting her family, Helen devoted her life to her family and to helping others deal with mental illness. While president of the Canadian Mental Health Association, Helen founded the Kelowna Branch of the B.C. Schizophrenia Society. She helped advocate for rights and programs to support those suffering with mental illness and their families. She volunteered with the University Women’s Club, B.C. Schizophrenia Society, the Canadian Mental Health Association, and the Kelowna Mental Health Society. Helen was active at the Unitarian Fellowship of Kelowna including serving as a long time chair of the Social Justice Committee. Helen’s gracious faith, optimism and wit were engaging, and her commitment to working for a more compassionate world inspired many to do likewise. She truly lived her belief that everyone is worthy of respect and dignity. Just as Helen worked so hard serving others during her lifetime, during the last 3 years of her life after she suffered from a series of severely debilitating strokes she depended so much upon others for support . Through it all, Helen was never self pitying and she lived her life with courage and compassion for others, to the end. Special thanks go out to Helen’s good friends, Fae Shaw and Sterling Haynes who worked tirelessly assisting Helen after she became disabled. Additional thanks go out to: Dr Robert Williams for his compassionate care when Helen was most vulnerable; friend and paid companion Phyllis Cannell; private Care Aide Christie Balderson; and the staff and volunteers of Cadder Court unit in Cottonwoods .” A celebration of Helen’s life will be held on Sunday, July 8, 2012 at 3:00 p.m. at the Unitarian Fellowship at 1310 Bertram St., Kelowna. If you wish to honour Helen’s life with a gift, please follow in Helen’s footsteps and make a donation to the BC Schizophrenia Society at www.bcss.org

CAPITAL NEWS
CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen Book of Kale There’s a row of kale in my vegetable garden this year, even though I’ve discovered that it’s a very cheap vegetable to get at the store. Either way, I’m eating more kale after reading a new book written by Sharon Hanna of Vancouver, an enthusiastic master gardener who is quite emphatic about the importance of eating nutrient-rich vegetables like kale. She says kale is the most nutrient-dense vegetable on the planet and she stuffs it into everything, with good results. The Book of Kale, published by Harbour Publishing, includes not only advice about growing and harvesting kale, but also about 80 recipes for using it in everything from breakfast and lunch to dinner, snacks and soup, including meatloaf and muffins. Yes, muffins; and it was really very good in them. Her enthusiasm about the merits of kale is certainly infectious, so I’m including it in all kinds of unlikely places now as well. Kale or no kale, her recipes are actually very good too, from the few we’ve tried so far, so I’d say this is one book it’s worthwhile to pick up, for the sake of your health if not your taste buds. And, for some great wines to enjoy with your kale dishes, there are a number of new options in the Okanagan, including the new tasting room at The View winery in East Kelowna and the variety of wines produced at new facility at the Okanagan Crush Pad in Summerland. In fact Kelowna’s Memphis Blues Barbecue House is teaming up with the Haywire, Bartier Scholefield and Bartier Bros. wines for a succulent barbecue July 11 and 12 at 6 p.m. at this new custom crush pad facility. Think rose! For details, go to okanagancrushpad.com/events/ Then, two of my favourite chefs, Cameron Smith and Dana Ewart of Joy Road Catering, will be preparing one of their scrumptious seasonal, local meals at God’s Mountain Estate July 19 featuring winemaker Michael Bartier and his wines. Go to www.joyroadcatering.com/contact_us.php to reserve your spot.

Eat-Your-Greens Meatloaf
Savoury Kale Muffins These were delicious; a nice savoury muffin that would be terrific with a bowl of soup, a salad or for a hearty breakfast or snack. This recipe makes fairly large muffins. I used more fresh dill, instead of dried. 2 eggs 1 c. (250 ml) cottage cheese 1 tsp. (5 ml) dried dillweed 3 tbsp. (45 ml) minced onion, shallots or chives pinch cayenne 3 c. (700 ml) kale leaves, loosely packed 1 1/2 c. (350 ml) flour 1 tsp. (5 ml) baking powder 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) salt cheese, for topping, if you like
In a medium-sized bowl beat eggs until foamy. Add cottage cheese, dill, onion and cayenne, mixing only to combine. Pre-heat oven to 375 F. Place kale in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a couple of times until the kale is chopped very finely. Squeeze excess moisture from the kale and add to the cheese mixture. In a medium-sized bowl, sift flour, baking powder and salt. Add wet mixture to dry ingredients stirring only enough to blend—a few lumps are okay. Spoon into greased or non-stick muffin pans. Add a small piece of cheese to the top of each muffin if desired. Bake about 20 minutes or until tops are lightly browned. Makes 12 muffins.
This is a very tasty meatloaf packed with kale nutrition and flavour from the herbs, which I would use fresh, at this time of year. Use twice the amount of fresh when substituting for dried. Sharon suggests this is a great meatloaf recipe for kids. 2 pieces of sturdy bread 1/2 c. (125 ml) milk 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) salt 4 c. (1 l) kale leaves 1/2 c. (125 ml) onion 1 lb. (454 g) lean ground beef 1 lb. (454 g) lean ground pork 1 large egg 2 tsp. (10 ml) Dijon or grainy mustard salt & black pepper 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) fresh thyme leaves 1 tsp. (5 ml) dried basil 1/2 tsp. (3 ml) dried oregano 1/2 c. (125 ml) parsley
OPTIONAL GLAZE:
1/2 c. (125 ml) ketchup 2 tbsp. (30 ml) brown sugar
1 tbsp. (15 ml) tamari or soy sauce Substitute ground turkey or bison for the beef or whatever combination of ground meat you like. You could use a food processor to chop the kale, then add in everything else, making it quick as a wink to make. Use leftovers sliced up for sandwich meat for lunches. Tear the bread into small pieces and soak in the milk and salt in a large bowl. Let stand for about 10 minutes until the bread soaks up the milk and the mixture is soft. Pre-heat the oven to 350 F. Cut the kale leaves into a chiffonade, long thin strips, if using a knife. Chop onion. Mince herbs. Add the remaining ingredients to the bread and milk. Mix well, then pile evenly into a lightly greased casserole or a large loaf pan. Bake for about 45 minutes. For the glaze, combine ingredients and brush or spoon evenly on top of the loaf after it has baked for 20 minutes. Serves 6.
