When the Customs and Classics Car Show first began four years ago in Lake Country, organizers Ron Volk and Mark Jones vowed to try and make the show one of the best in B.C. This weekend, when close to 300 vehicles of every vintage will be on display at Lake Country’s Swalwell Park, the pair will again bring many unique vehicles to Lake Country building on the success of the past three years. From 1930s era classics to ’70s muscle and brand new Chargers, there will be no shortage of metal, rubber and chrome on display Aug. 26 at Swalwell Park in Winfield. “This is our fourth year in Lake Country and it’s gone very very well so far,� said Volk, a car enthusiast himself. “They used to have this show in Kelowna

in City Park but then it moved and we saw it as an opportunity to bring some people into the community and raise some money for charity.� The Lake Country Customs and Classics Car Show isn’t the biggest one in the Okanagan Valley but is growing nonetheless. Volk said there is a possibility that the oneday event could eventually grow to be a two-day show. But he said the show sets itself apart from others by keeping it for the entire family and attracting some of the nicest cars of any valley car show. “We want to make this one of the most pristine car shows in the Okanagan Valley,� said Volk. “We’ve got a live rock and roll band playing the hits from the ’50s and ’60s and we have some food vendors and other vendors. It’s in Swalwell

Last year the event raised $2,500 for the lo-

sic cars, there will also be newer models on display from the area’s car dealerships and also some RV units. Trophies will be handed out in 16 categories and a grand prize of $1,000 will also be awarded.

Province to help with potential fire hazards in parks The District of Lake Country has approved a budget to aid private property owners with the removal or clean up of wildfire threatened areas. A public information session will be held Thursday, Aug. 23 at the Lake Country municipal office to discuss a provincial government program to mitigate pine beetle infested trees. Officials from Lake Country will be on hand to give a broad overview of the program and to answer any questions the public has. According to Lake

Country, the provincial government has made funding available for local governments to help mitigate the risk of wildfire in urban interface areas, sharing the costs of tree removal with municipalities. The program has helped the District of Lake Country with the completion of a Community Wildfire Protection Plan and local parks

and recreation areas have benefitted from the removal of hazardous trees and vegetation. The government funding that has been made available is to be used strictly for local governments with parks and rec areas affected as well as crown lands that border municipalities. Previously there has been no funding available for private proper-

But the District of Lake Country has approved a budget to aid private property owners with the removal or clean up of wildfire threatened areas. According to the district it is also forecast-

ed to be a cost sharing project between the land owner and the district to stretch the budget as much as possible to help as many land owners as possible. The cost will be set out as a per-tree cost to the owner with the district subsidizing the removal and clean up. Property owners will be required to fill out an application.

Once applications are received and reviewed a site inspection will be completed and a cost estimate for work to be done will be made at that time. Full details will be available at the public meeting on Thursday Aug. 23 at the Lake Country municipal office starting at 7 p.m.

Museum shines light on Mexico CARA BRADY

CARA BRADY/VERNON MORNING STAR

DAN BRUCE, curator of the Lake Country Museum, with a copy of a head of seventh century Mayan King Pacal, one of the many historical and contemporary Mexican exhibits at the Hecho a Mano exhibit at the museum until Sept. 29.

Mexico and the Okanagan have more connections than most people think. “The Mexican people have an unsung history in B.C. Many of the early pack train operators when the country was first being settled were Mexican. Now we have Mexican people coming to work in the fruit industry,” said Dan Bruce, curator of the Lake Country Museum, which has a show, Hecho a Mano: Traditional handcrafts of Mexico, which includes pieces from 500 B.C. to the present. “We talked to Mexican people here and some were enthusiastic from the start and others joined later. We have done interviews with them and they were invited to the opening night. “A lot of people visit Mexico and appreciate its culture but don’t think that much about what Mexico has given us—chocolate, tomatoes, chili, many agricultural products.” The exhibit brings together items from the Kelowna Museum and private collections. The oldest is a small

pottery head. There are also examples of traditional handicrafts in glass, textiles, ceramics, woodwork, metal and leather crafts. There are also copies of ancient codices from Madrid, few survived because they were written on paper and traditional costumes. Bruce, who has done ethnography/archeology field work in Mexico, finds one of the most intriguing exhibits is a reproduction of a head of Mayan King Pacal (b. March 26, 603 A.D.) who ruled in Palenque from July 26, 616 to Aug. 31, 683. The dates are exact since Mayan texts have recently been translated. “You can imagine the king at his pyramid temple wearing quetzal feathers, jade, turquoise and jaguar skins. In 1952, Mexican archeologists discovered his tomb, the first royal burial discovered, and so much was learned. With that and the translations, the Mayans stepped out of pre-history and became living beings.” He finds the contemporary crafts just as interesting and said Mexicans are serious about preserving their skills and history. “One of the remark-

able things in the exhibit is a woman’s hair tie about an inch wide and four-feet long with intricate woven designs that are perfect on both sides. It was made by a 16-year-old girl,” he said. “The museum volunteers have worked very hard on this and we are proud of it. The museum is there to preserve local history and tell that story but it is also there to expand people’s horizons.” The exhibition also W includes photographs featuring the portraits and stories of Mexican migrant workers in the community. During this special exhibition the museum will be open for extended hours—until Sept. 3 from 10 a.m. to 4 w p.m. seven days a week; Sept. 5 through Sept. 29 the opening hours will be 1 to 4 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. The Lake Country Museum is located at 11255 Okanagan Centre Road West in Lake Country. Admission is by donation.

Sports camp teaches kids hard work pays off KEVIN PARNELL Lake Country basketball players who are hoping to hone their skills prior to the start of the school season have the perfect opportunity at the end of this month. For the fourth year in a row, Passion Sports Basketball is bringing current and former college basketball players to Lake Country for the group’s elite basketball camp. “It’s a really skill-oriented camp,” said Greg Wallis, Passions Sports coach and coordinator and a former player at Simon Fraser University. “We like to think of it as somewhere kids who have some past experience can come and really be pushed and understand how their hard work can pay off.” Up to 40 young basketball players between the ages of eight and 17 are expected at the camp. Most will have some previous basketball experience and will be getting ready for the next basketball season. And the key message will be about hard work. “The whole philosophy of Passion Sports is work harder,” said Wal-

lis, during a break from a basketball camp on Salt Spring Island. “We will do a lot of skill development but the whole underlying theme is trying to understand that the work that you put in is what builds the confidence. Everything is designed to get kids out of their comfort zone and keep pushing their boundaries.” Having come to Lake Country for the past three years now, Wallis is pretty familiar with the area and with the level of play in the Interior. He says he has been impressed with the basketball talent in Lake Country in past years. “I think they have some good local coaches

and that really shows in the skill level,” he said. “Sometimes there isn’t a lot of opportunities in the summer so I’m glad that we are able to help out. The last week of summer is perfect timing to get everyone back in a basketball state of mind before school.” There is still time to register for the Passion Sports camp and the number of players registered will reflect the number of instructors that are at the camp. The group likes to have one instructor for every seven or eight kids. Players will be split into two age groups: 8 to 12 and 13 to 17. Wallis says the instructors are all young and talented basketball players who can easily relate to kids. “All of our instructors will have played college or university basketball,” he said. “Our whole program is designed and coordinated by the instructors. We’re all young guys and girls and we like to think the kids can relate to us and will listen to what we are saying.” You can register online at www.passionsports.ca. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Things you should know about exercising during pregnancy

M

ost women know that it is important to stay physically fit and healthy during pregnancy, however, there is more and more pressure these days for women to maintain a certain level of activity and fitness throughout their pregnancy and sometimes it is at the expense of their own health or pain, or even worse—the health their baby. Pregnancy results in many physical changes of a woman’s body and consequently can cause issues such as low back pain, pelvic pain, incontinence, postural changes and balance problems just to name a few. In fact, over 70 per cent of pregnant women experience low back and pelvic pain. One may think

Shelly Prosko

Keeping You Fit that continuing with their regular strengthening, stretching and core strengthening routine, or enrolling in a fitness class may help their current pre-natal aches, pains and other issues. Unfortunately, simply attending a regular fitness class, yoga or pilates class isn’t always safe and appropriate when you are pregnant. The good news is that

there is a great deal of evidence showing that specific exercise programs designed and delivered by physiotherapists can relieve low back pain, pelvic pain and urinary incontinence in pregnant women. A physiotherapist assessment followed by an individual treatment program can help you safely and effectively participate in a home program or class setting in order to gain the specific strength, stability, flexibility, balance, postural control and pain management required to maintain a healthy pregnancy. Here are some general tips to keep in mind if you are already participating in a pre-natal exercise program of any kind: • Do not overheat. Keep

body temperature within comfortable limits. • Keep heart rate from elevating to a high, rapid, uncomfortable rate and always maintain your breath. You should always have the ability to talk while exercising. • Do not overstretch muscles. Your relaxin hormone is high, therefore decreasing the ligaments’ abilities to stabilize your joints. Overstretching muscles around unprotected or unstable joints can lead to injury. • Avoid prolonged supine (lying on back) postures after around 20 weeks or first trimester. This position can potentially occlude the inferior vena cava and consequently compress the subrenal aorta. This compression can then reduce maternal cardiac

output (resulting in decrease oxygen to tissues, including to your fetus). • Caution with standing balance exercises. Your center of body mass will change dramatically, causing your balance to become altered. Walls and sturdy chairs can be used for extra support. • Avoid aggressive forward bends or twists. • For those who practise yoga: do not perform any pranayama (breath work) that involves retaining the breath or overheating the body. Yoga inversions, such as headstands, are controversial. The main danger during inversions is the risk of falling and injuring yourself or your baby during the fall. As a general rule, if you practised inversions prior to your pregnancy, it is safe to continue if you are tolerating

the pose with great ease. Currently there is no evidence supporting the fact that inversions are dangerous during pregnancy. • Exercises in the prone (lying on stomach) position are not dangerous, however, they tend to become very uncomfortable and physically impossible, therefore, inappropriate. • Pay attention to any warning signs such as light headedness, unusual nausea or vomiting, increased low back pain, or any pain in general, decreased fetal movement, spotting or fluid leakage, or any other symptoms that you are unsure about. Exercise will not cause these symptoms, but if you have pregnancy related conditions, you may need to avoid exertion or

certain activities. • Please always inform your doctor before you participate in any prenatal exercise class or activity, including classes such as pre-natal yoga. It is important that you let your therapist or instructor know when you are in pain or feel uncomfortable in any way. As always, know and respect your own limits and ‘listen to your body’. This column is not intended to diagnose or treat. Please consult with your physician prior to participating in an exercise program.

Time for province to invest in her forests

T

he B.C. government’s emergency committee on timber supply has produced its report, but it leaves many of the big questions unanswered. Can the Burns Lake sawmill, destroyed by fire last winter, be given enough timber to rebuild? It’s likely, committee members concluded, if areas that are currently considered “marginally economic” are harvested. With nearly half the pine in that region dead from beetle infestation, and much of the better timber already cut, that means harvesting areas that would produce only about two thirds of the volume that is currently considered economical to log. Will eight more sawmills have to close once the beetle-killed timber becomes too degraded to cut in the next few years? Committee members hold out hope that extending the cut to less economic timber stands

BC Views

Tom Fletcher can reduce this impact as well. But with the current cut far above historical levels to maximize beetle-kill harvest, some industry contraction seems inevitable. All this depends on adequate forest inventory and investment in replanting, fertilizing and provision of additional roads and power lines that would allow access to timber and potential bio-energy development. And that is where the political fight lies ahead. The timber supply committee delivered a unanimous report, despite the harsh divisions

between the B.C. Liberal and NDP members who serve on it. NDP forest critic Norm Macdonald, vice chair of the committee, agreed it did good work during the seven months it has toured affected areas of the B.C. Interior. But he said the roots of the problem go back a decade, to when the B.C. Liberals started reducing support for forest health just as the beetle epidemic was spreading. Ten years ago the government removed the obligation for the province to reforest areas affected by disease and fire. This was not only at the peak of the epidemic, it was one year before devastating wildfires raced through the Interior in the summer of 2003. “In 2002, the government removed its obligation to replant those areas, and cut the budget by 90 per cent,” Macdonald told me. “The three-year budget that’s in front of us is keeping on the downward slide,

and it’s not what people in communities are saying is the answer. So that has to change.” The opposition, the auditor general and various forest experts have been blasting the government for the degraded state of the timber inventory, at a time when environmental changes have been sweeping. Steve Thomson, minister of the newly amalgamated forests, lands and natural resource operations ministry, points to the urgent efforts to upgrade the government’s detailed picture of the state of the forests, so it can consider new cutting, planting and fertilizing efforts. But there’s no denying that he came to the job in a crisis that will take more spending in the future, and he will have a hard time finding it as Finance Minister Kevin Falcon looks to balance the books for the 2013 election. If nothing else, the pine beetle epidemic has

forced the B.C. government to consider some of the intensive forest management that we hear about in Scandinavia, one of those places that supplies B.C. with wood furniture. And it has prompted renewed interest in offering new forest tenures to aboriginal communities with unresolved resource claims. Under current law, the government can only direct award new forest tenures to aboriginal communities. So part of the committee’s proposed solution is to “expedite negotiations” with the Burns Lake First Nations to give them a chance to harvest some of the marginally economic forest areas that remain.

Looking back at ‘a better time’ is a relative thing for all

TAYLOR FROM A4 even to celebrate our differences. But at the same time, our joints creak, our minds go blank unpredictably, our stamina has plummeted. Illness threatens our future. So, despite all that’s good about these years, we would not call them the best of our lives. I suspect the writer of the story of the Garden of Eden, whoever he was, may have had similar thoughts. He—almost certainly a he—had raised a family, laboured for food and shelter, become the patriarch of a clan. Now he looks back at what seems, in retrospect, “a very good year.” He calls it The Garden of Eden. In the warm glow of nostalgia, everything was going right.

BUT WOULD I WANT TO GO BACK TO IT? GO BACK TO BEING AN OPINIONATED, BRASH, INSECURE, MISOGYNISTIC, PIMPLY, HORMONERIDDEN, EGOCENTRIC YOUTH WITH NO IDEA WHERE HE WAS HEADED OR HOW HE WAS GOING TO GET THERE? NOT A CHANCE!

Before it started going wrong. If I don’t read the story that way, I would have to conclude that it is wishful thinking at best, a lie at worst. Because we now know that life did not start in paradise. Not even human life. This Earth began as a most inhospitable place—lifeless, rent by volcanos and earthquakes, lashed by storms. Life, when it emerged, was more chaos than paradise, a vast anarchic soup of possibilities. But from those possibilities emerged, eventually, the biosphere we know today. Which continues to evolve. When we read the Eden story as fact, even

as holy myth, we mislead ourselves. Because it invites us to return to a paradise that never was. The message of evolution is that we always move forward, never backward. From a planetary perspective, paradise lies somewhere

ahead of us. And it always will, for merely by living we continue creating our collective future. But for each of us— perhaps for every animate being—there comes a time as we age and decline when we remember our prime.

And we say to ourselves, “That was a very good year.” I doubt if the writer of Genesis chapters 2-4 intended to write a rationale for a theological doctrine of original sin. Or to justify centuries of stomping on women and

snakes. More likely, he looked back after a difficult life, and thought, “Yes, that was a very good year.” Jim Taylor is an Okanagan Centre author.

ests, lands and natural resource operations, I can assure you this was a tremendously significant report. Let me explain how it affects you directly. It won’t come as news to hear the B.C. interior has been absolutely devastated by the mountain pine beetle epidemic— just over half of the total pine volume on the timber harvesting land base has been killed. This has far-reaching consequences for everything from wildlife conservation to tourism to forestry. This is crucial, both for the provincial economy as a whole, but particularly for the thousands of B.C. families that depend on these jobs. Consider forestry a crucial pillar of Premier Christy Clark’s B.C. Jobs Plan. In 2011, our forest sector employed more

than 53,000 people—a number that will grow. In addition to new jobs, in the next decade, as many as 25,000 forest-

gineers and scientists. In other words, these are good, well-paying career options for young British Columbians.

The committee also carefully considered the requests for an early decision on the timber supply to help facilitate the rebuilding of the Burns Lake mill, tragically destroyed by fire in January. Its recommendation outlines steps for our government to facilitate the economic recovery effort. The government recognizes quick action is

essential for Burns Lake, and an action plan will be developed within a week. To be certain, a lot of the recommendations reflect actions already underway by the ministry—but it’s always worth consulting with those directly affected. By the end of September, my ministry will present an action plan to deal with those not already underway. And we will be further engaging with communities, First Nations and key stakeholders on recommendations dealing with the management of sensitive areas and conversion of volume-based to areabased tenures. The committee’s report and recommendations are the result of a lot of hard work from MLAs on the committee, including Okanagan MLAs Ben Stewart and Eric Foster. The committee held

A

public hearings in 15 Interior communities and Vancouver, and received input from First Nations, local government, key stakeholders and the j public. During its six-week consultation period, the committee received 650 submissions. I appreciate the long hours I know went into the consultation process, including those who took the time to make presentations, and the MLAs on the committee from both sides of the aisle. It was a lot of hard work—and may not get a lot of mainstream attention—but I know it will be worth it.

They live in the ear canal and feed by piercing the skin. Unfortunately, most cats adopted from animal shelters, or even cats with indoor and outdoor lifestyles, will contract ear mites at some point in their lives. Ear mites spread rapidly, and can be transmitted by even brief physical contact with another animal. In pets, ear mites most commonly affect cats, ferrets, and to a lesser extent dogs. SEE OZ A7

Constituents can comment on riding change Ear mites are deeply distressing

A

lthough Canada’s next general election is not scheduled to occur until 2015, there could potentially be some major changes that may be of interest to citizens living in many areas of the province including Okanagan-Coquihalla. These changes are not related directly to politics but rather the riding boundaries that separate one electoral district from another. In some instances the changes may be relatively minor and in other cases the proposed changes may be more significant. For example as the current proposal stands, Summerland and Penticton would end up in different riding boundaries whereas Merritt and Princeton, currently in separate ridings, would end up in the same electoral district. Conversely, Keremeos would no longer be in the same riding as Princeton, but would join Penticton, Oliver and Osoyoos in an expanded South Okanagan riding. Over in the Kootenays there would also be some significant changes as Salmo and Nelson would be separated however Nelson would end up in the same riding as Penticton and Okanagan Falls. From a political perspective these boundary proposals are also noteworthy given that currently the southern riding is represented federally by an NDP MP and in Okanagan-Co-

Dan Albas quihalla, I was elected as a Conservative MP. From my perspective I believe it is important, as federally elected officials, we avoid commenting on these changes and avoid any perception of attempting to influence boundary changes that may either enhance or work against partisan political interests. That being said, I do believe it is important for both local and regional government representatives and more importantly citizens to be aware of these proposed changes and give consideration on accessibility of current electoral boundaries and those that are being proposed. To learn more about how your community may be impacted by these changes I encourage citizens to visit the 2012 federal electoral redistribution website or to call the commission at 1-855-747-7236. If you would like to submit your comments or make a submission to the commission, your application to do so should be filed no later than Aug. 30, 2012. The commission can also be emailed directly at bc-cb@rfed-rcf.ca

While these proposed changes to the boundaries of our riding are top of my list for this year’s summer listening tour, it is far from the only item of discussion. With roughly three weeks left on my annual summer listening tour I had a chance over the weekend to compare notes I compiled from last year’s tour. It is a very worthwhile exercise to learn what concerns remain, what new topics are arising and what subjects are either less often mentioned, or no longer a topic that I am hearing about. One topic that was far more frequently raised last year when compared to this year is gas prices.

past months. Why I am hearing fewer concerns expressed about gas prices this year compared to last may be somewhat related to fuel pricing being more stable over the past 12 months than the previous 12-month period. As an example this year gas prices have fluctuated in a range roughly within 12 cents per litre whereas the previous year there was an increase in excess of 20 cents per litre. My research to date confirms that there are many variables that contribute to the final price of fuel at the pumps and I could compose several more reports on this subject from that perspective alone. However the question I am most commonly asked is why gas prices are significantly higher in some communities in Okanagan-Coquihalla compared with others. This is a more complex question and the one that I have focused on for many months now, and more so as the answers I have received to date do not adequately, in my view, address that question. Fortunately I have recently received information and more importantly documentation that I believe will be of benefit in taking this matter forward. I look forward to reporting back to you again in the very near future on this topic. Dan Albas is the Conservative MP for Okanagan-Coquihalla.

and uncomfortable for your pet Ear mites are a serious problem and are deeply distressing and uncomfortable for your pet. Infestation usually occurs in both ears and can cause intense irritation. Scratching, rubbing the ear, head shaking and ear twitching are the most frequent signs exhibited by affected cats. The degree of itching varies among individual cats. It’s common to find hair loss and damage to the skin behind the ears and on the neck due to the intense scratching. The most typical appearance of an ear mite infestation is presence of dark brown-blackish dry or waxy discharge in the ears. Many people are not aware of ear mites and their symptoms and mistakenly think that this discharge is just dirt. If left untreated, ear mites infestation can spread to other parts of the body or spread deeper into the ear, jeopardizing the ear drum integrity and put the animal at

Because ear mites are transmitted so easily from one animal to another, if one animal has it, all the other animals in the household should be treated as well. Often, I see people notice a problem in their pet and attempt to treat the problem at home based on advice from the Internet. I always recommend my clients be cautious about using the Net for medical advice. Beside not knowing the source’s credibility, you should know that some home remedies may lead to other medical problems.

risk of deafness. Occasionally, a blood vessel in the ear can rupture, due to the frequent head shaking, leading to a swelling that results from the blood accumulation. This condition is called aural hematoma and requires surgical drainage. Ear mites are diagnosed very easily by a microscopic exam of the discharge from the ear. This exam can be done at any veterinary facility, does not require sedation or anesthesia, only takes a few minutes, reveals immediate results and is very affordable. Once the diagnosis of ear mites is established, the best course of action is to thoroughly clean the animal’s ears. The medication for ear mites comes in a few different types of topical drops, applied on the skin or directly into the ear canal. Treatment should be repeated after one month, to kill the next generation of mites that will have hatched by then. Relief, in terms

Q A

Am I at risk for contracting a zoonotic disease from my cat?

Current evidence supports the fact that pet cats pose a minimal zoonotic risk to their human companions. Cats kept indoors are exposed to fewer diseases that can be transmitted to humans. Your risk may be slightly higher if you have a compromised immune system from disease or medications, such as: People with AIDS/HIV, people on chemotherapy or receiving radiation therapy, people who are elderly or have chronic diseases, people born with congenital immune deďŹ ciencies, people who have received organ or bone marrow transplants, pregnant women (a fetus’s immune system is not fully developed, and the pregnant woman’s immune system is altered so that she won’t reject the fetus). If you fall into one of these categories, it does not mean you have to give up your pet! It simply means that you should take some basic precautions such as monitoring your cat for any signs of illness, washing your hands after extensive handling of your cat, and avoiding direct contact with your cat’s feces. It is important to keep in mind that numerous studies prove that the beneďŹ ts of having a pet far outweigh the risks. Sharing your home with a pet is often just what your doctor ordered!

Why should a have a buyer agent?

When someone tells me they are looking for a home in Lake Country I take them under my wing. Having a buyer agent means you have someone who knows the area, does a lot of business here, and often has already toured the home that you are looking for. Another beneďŹ t of having a buyer agent is that I often know about homes that are soon to be listed that are not on the MLS system yet. So what that means to you is that you have “insider informationâ€? so to speak, of the best opportunities in Lake Country.

I have athlete’s foot ... now what?

Athlete’s foot is a fungal infection often characterized by itching, burning, redness and skin aking between the toes. The condition is spread by contact with an infected foot or with a contaminated surface (like public showers or locker rooms). The organism causing this condition thrives in a warm and moist environment. Most cases of athlete’s foot are easy to treat. Treatment consists of applying nonprescription BOUJGVOHBM DSFBNT UP BGGFDUFE BSFBT GPS XFFLT Avoid using cortisone creams (unless prescribed by your doctor). Keeping the feet cool and dry is also important. Using sandals or light, ventilated shoes will help. Changing socks frequently, especially if they become damp is not always practical, but is also important. Cotton socks will absorb sweat, and thus are better to use than socks made of synthetic materials. If you have diabetes or have persistent, severe or recurrent infections, then you should see your doctor.

It is this long window of opportunity that I think makes success more attainable than in scion grafting. In this procedure a bud is taken from a donor plant and inserted into a recipient plant. There are two methods used, one of which is T-budding and the other is chip-budding. I prefer using the Tbudding method on roses and chip-budding A on fruit trees and ornamentals. A few years ago I planted a Golden Jubilee peach tree in my back yard and not having the room for more than v one tree, I started to bud graft other varieties onto it.

Provincial health officer urges people to get their flu shots this year before chilly season begins

As summer vacations come to an end, and we begin to look forward to the fall, it is a good time to start thinking about how to best protect ourselves and our loved ones from illnesses like influenza. The Public Health Agency of Canada estimates that between 2,000 and 8,000 Canadians die every year from influenza and its complications. British Columbia provides the flu shot for free each year to those considered at higher risk of developing influenza complications, or those who care for them. That list includes: • People over age 65 and their caregivers • Children and adults with chronic health conditions and their household contacts • Health-care workers • Emergency responders • Healthy children aged six months-five years • Household contacts and caregivers of children aged zero-five years • Pregnant women who will be in their third trimester during the influenza season • Residents of nursing homes and other chronic-care facilities • Aboriginal peoples • People who are very obese (those with a body mass index of 40 or more). Even if you are not considered a person of high risk, if you regularly interact with or work around someone who is, I strongly encourage you to get vaccinated for their sake. High-risk populations can suffer severe consequences from influenza, including death. Bacterial pneumonia, an infection of the lungs, is the most common complication from influenza, especially in elderly people. It can also lead to more complications for people who have heart, lung or other health conditions. For these reasons, it is especially important that health-care workers get their flu shot each year, and I would like to acknowledge and thank those health-care workers who do get vaccin-

ated. As a physician myself, I know how important it is to protect patients. All of the major professional health care bodies, such as the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia, support vaccination of health-care workers. Unfortunately, each year throughout B.C., fewer than 50 per cent of health-care workers get immunized against influenza. This rate is too low —patients de-

serve better. Some jurisdictions in the United States have managed to achieve 95 per cent coverage of health-care workers. There is significant evidence in longterm care facilities that high health-care worker influenza vaccine coverage results in diminished illness and fewer deaths. Getting the flu shot should be considered standard patient safety practice for all healthcare workers who come into contact with patients—as important as following effective hand hygiene practices, staying home when ill or wearing a mask in the operating room. I would like to briefly address the concerns that some people have about the vaccine, as each year far fewer people get vaccinated than we in the public health community would like to see. The flu

vaccine is extremely safe. It is not possible to contract the flu from getting a flu shot, because the publicly funded vaccines use only killed— inactive—virus particles. There is also no risk of developing conditions like autism from the flu vaccine (or any vaccine, for that matter). It is far safer to get the vaccine than to get sick—especially if you or someone you love is considered high risk. Vaccines have been one of the most important medical advances of the modern era and have been responsible for wiping out (or nearly eliminating) once common illnesses, such as smallpox.

This year, if you are eligible for a free flu shot, I encourage you to get immunized. If you care for vulnerable people, I especially urge you to get immunized, and if you are a health-care worker providing care to patients, the National Advisory Committee on Immunization considers influenza immunization an essential component of the standard of care. Finally, if you are a parent, ensure that your child’s other vaccinations are up-to-date. Vaccines are safe and effective. They reduce illness and save lives.

reventing illness is the best way to get health care costs down. So why aren’t governments doing more to protect the environment? We’ve long known that environmental factors contribute to disease, especially contamination of air, water, and soil. Scientists are now learning the connection is stronger than we realized. New research shows that 60 per cent of emerging infectious diseases

David Suzuki Science Matters affecting humans—those that rapidly increase in incidence or geographic range—start with ani-

mals, two thirds from wild animals. Lyme disease, West Nile virus, ebola, SARS, AIDS…these are just a few of the hundreds of epidemics that have spread from animals to people. A study by the International Livestock Research Institute concludes that more than two-million people a year are killed by diseases that originated with wild and domestic animals. Many more become ill.

According to an article in the New York Times, “emerging diseases have quadrupled in the last half-century.” The increase is mainly due to human encroachment into and destruction of wildlife habitat. For example, one study concluded that a four per cent increase in Amazon deforestation led to a 50 per cent increase in malaria because mosquitoes, which transmit the disease, thrive in the cleared areas.

from the article shows how interconnected life is. Development in North America has destroyed or fragmented forests and chased many predators away. This has led to a huge increase in white-footed mice, which carry Lyme bacteria. The mice are not good at removing ticks and their larvae and so the ticks pick up bacteria from the mice and spread it to other mammals, including humans. Because the number of Lyme-infected ticks has multiplied, more are transferring the disease to humans. “When we do things in an ecosystem that erode biodiversity—we chop forests into bits or replace habitat with agricultural fields—we tend to get rid of species that serve a protective role,”

Lyme disease researcher Richard Ostfeld told the New York Times, adding that our actions tend to favour species that act as disease carriers. Global warming is adding to the problem. A study in the journal Nature, Impact of Regional Climate Change On Human Health, notes that heart attacks and respiratory illness due to heat waves, altered transmission of infectious diseases, and malnutrition from crop failures can all be linked to a warming planet. And economic and political upheaval brought on by climate change can damage public health infrastructure, making it difficult for people to cope with the inevitable rise in sickness, according to a study in the Archives of Medical Research, Global

Warming And Infectious Disease. Research has also shown that warming ocean waters are increasing the incidence of waterborne illnesses, including those caused by toxic bacteria in shellfish. This is costly to the economy as well as to human health and survival. The World Bank estimates that a severe influenza pandemic could cost the world economy $3 trillion. Environment Canada says air pollution alone costs the Canadian economy billions of dollars a year because of increased health-care costs, missed work days, and reduced productivity. A key solution, according to the One Health Initiative, is to look at the links between human, animal, and ecological health and to manage our activities in a sustainable and holistic way. The U.S.-based initiative is bringing experts in human, animal, and environmental health together to study these links. Another promising area of research is natural capital evaluation. Although it’s difficult, if not impossible, to put a dollar value on the numerous services nature provides, leaving them out of economic calculations means they are often ignored. Forests and green spaces filter water and store carbon. Urban green spaces provide cooling and protection from storms. And, ecosystems in balance help to protect us from disease outbreaks.

Get the most from your water! Learn more about water in the Okanagan and tips to protect it by visiting

okwaterwise.ca

Weekly Fire Danger Rating and Campfire Restrictions are posted for your information at www.lakecountry.bc.ca Central Okanagan residents are reminded to prepare their families in advance for any possible evacuation as a result of emergencies such as a wildfire. You can get tips on preparing ‘Grab and Go’ kits for various emergency situations by visiting www.cordemergency.ca or the federal ‘Get Prepared’ website www.getprepared.ca. Having a family emergency plan will save time and make real situations less stressful. Have an emergency kit and be prepared to take care of yourself and your family for a minimum of 72 hours until emergency workers can reach you.

COMMUNITY NOTICES & SUMMER REMINDERS Beach front property owners: If you are thinking of putting some sand on your beach front, please consider the impact to the inherent aquatic habitat along the foreshore. Before any alterations are made a Natural Environment Development Permit must be obtained from the District of Lake Country in consultation with the provincial Riparian Areas Regulations, and the federal Fisheries Act. The bottom line is that the fine sand affects spawning habitat – spawning fish need the gravel substrate. Come in to municipal hall and have a staff member help you balance the tourism and environmental interests on your property.

Short term vacation rentals: Lake Country is a prime destination for visitors, and short term vacation rentals must comply with zoning bylaws. Residential rentals must be no less than one month in duration. Bylaw Enforcement will be responding to complaints with tickets issued to violators. If you would like to register a complaint please call 250-766-6673 or visit www.lakecountry.bc.ca and click on “How do I?” in the blue left margin and follow the link to “Make a Service Request/File a complaint.” Please note: All complainants must supply their name and contact information although the name and contact information of complainants is kept confidential and only used for internal purposes as per the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

Boaters – Use the water safely: Boaters are asked to be cautious and be mindful of the effect of wake from personal water craft and boats. Conservation Officers will be actively enforcing the 10 km/hr speed restriction within 30 meters of shore on interior lakes.

Upcoming Fun Events for the Whole Family See okanaganway.ca Events calendar for more info Saturday, August 25th – Lake Country Open Air Performance at Okanagan Centre Park – Fish on Five Brass Quintet (6-7pm); the Fabulous Flying Weekenders (7:15pm); Double Feature Movie in the Park - The Lorax (PG) (8:15pm), and Men in Black 3 (PG-13) (10:00pm).

Smart Meters: BC Hydro is in the midst of updating and upgrading the province’s electricity system to ensure that it can meet the needs of customers all over the province. Smart meter exchanges in Lake Country began in June 2012 and are scheduled to be completed by November 2012. Customers who have questions or concerns about Smart Meters should contact BC Hydro directly for more information at 1-800-224-9376 or email smartmeters@bchydro.com.

Pine Beetle Mitigation for Private Properties Public Information Session August 23 at 7:00pm at District of Lake Country Municipal Hall 10150 Bottom Wood Lake Rd. District of Lake Country has approved a budget in which to aid private property owners with the removal or clean up of wildfire threatened areas. It is forecasted to be a cost sharing project between the land owner and the District to stretch the budget to help as many land owners as possible. The cost will be set out as a per tree cost to the owner with the district subsidizing the removal and clean up. Site inspections will follow the current Fire Smart Manual recommendations and setbacks. Program applications are available from municipal hall customer service. Bring your questions to the info session.
