It’s been an exciting year at the Knox Mountain Store where a single mother bought a winning lottery ticket, the owner of Urban Distilleries cashed in his winning lottery ticket and police may have found $4 million in the Hells Angels clubhouse across the street this past Saturday. The stacks of $50 and $100 bills were on display at a press conference in Vancouver Monday morning as RCMP gave reporters a briefing on five raids conducted throughout the province to take down an international drug smuggling operation, including one at the Roanoke Avenue clubhouse Saturday at 3 p.m. RCMP are not confirming which of the locations the cash was seized from, but the seven people arrested in conjunction with the police raids include Kelowna Hells Angels Chapter vicepresident David Giles and there is a Canada-wide warrant out for the arrest of the chapter’s sergeant at arms, Brian Oldham. “The investigation began in November 2011 and initially focused upon the evidence suggesting a marijuana and trafficking organization was active in the southeast district of British Columbia. RCMP gathered evidence indicat-

Brian Cantera, officer in charge of the RCMP drug enforcement branch in B.C., explained at the press conference. Searches were conducted in Osoyoos, Coquitlam and directly across from Tolko in the Kelow-

na clubhouse, where bystanders reportedly heard glass smashing but little else to indicate the raid was underway. The location has long raised eyebrows in the neighbourhood and residents have met with police from time to time over the club’s presence. “When it was first built, there were some initial concerns about the fortress-like appearance. It doesn’t even appear to have a front door,” said Heather Rice, president of the Kelowna Downtown Knox Mountain Neighbourhood Association. In the years since, the residents’ association has nevertheless only received comments on the noise from the bikes. Along with the $4 million dollars seized, RCMP say they also brought in an assault rifle and handguns from one of the raid locations, suggesting there may be some serious implications neighbours have not had to think about to date, and the police raised the point during the press conference. “This investigation demonstrated how organized criminal groups engaged in drug trafficking have no respect for municipal, provincial or international borders,” Cantera said. “(And) more concerning is the complete disregard these groups show for Canadian families

THE HELLS ANGELS clubhouse on Ellis Street was raided by police last Saturday afternoon, part of a provincewide sting by the RCMP E division gang squad (headquarterd in Vancouver) to break up an alleged international drug ring operation. and public safety, both of which pay the devastating price exacted for criminal profits.” Giles was arrested and charged with conspiracy to import a controlled substance and traffic a controlled substance along
with Kevin Van Kalkeran, Michael Read and James Howard. Orhan Saydam, Murray Trekofski and Shawn Womacks were arrested and charged with possession for the purposes of trafficking a controlled
substance. And Oldham is also charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking a controlled substance, but remains at large.
Connecting potential donors with causes that mean something to them personally can be a pathway to grow donations to the Central/South Okanagan Similkameen United Way, says the agency’s new executive director. Marla O’Brien started her first day at her new job Monday, replacing Harry Grossmith who stepped down earlier this year. For O’Brien, who has been a fixture in the fundraising and non-profit Central Okanagan scene for the past 14 years, she says her new job presents an exciting opportunity. “For me, it has definitely been a huge goal of mine to work with a local philanthropic organization,” O’Brien told the Capital News. “And I have not been in a leadership role like this before so it’s a big step up for me and an exciting challenge.” O’Brien has been the public relations officer for the Okanagan Regional Library the past three years. Prior to that, O’Brien had worked with the fundraising development office of UBC Okanagan and with Kelowna Human Resources.

NEWS â–ź BENVOULIN HERITAGE CHURCH
A 120th birthday milestone for historic church Central Okanagan Heritage Society played host to birthday celebration on Saturday. Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Those who sat in the pews of Benvoulin Heritage Church this past weekend, sat on the same original benches as the church’s founders in 1892. That was one of several interesting facts shared Saturday at the 120th anniversary of Benvoulin Heritage Church. The event was put on by the Central Okanagan Heritage Society to celebrate a building once envisioned to be the hub of the community. “One hundred and twenty years ago, Benvoulin was the heart of the city,â€? said Don Knox, president of the Central Okanagan Heritage Society. Guests of the anniversary celebration were treated to musical talent, given guided tours throughout the property and had the opportunity to take in a service led by retired Presbyterian minister Lorna Hillian. The celebration wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for the formation 30 years ago of the Central Okanagan Heritage Society. The building—then referred to as Benvoulin United Church—ceased to function as a church in 1964. The condition of the structure continually declined and plans began unfolding to use the property as a practice site for the Kelowna Fire Department. “Dr. Walter Anderson got a bunch of people together and said, ‘We can’t let this happen,’â€? said Knox. “That’s when the Central Okanagan Heritage Society was formed. So the church has a double meaning for us.â€? Several guests of the event shared stories about how their roots connected to the heritage church. Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson shared the story of his connection Saturday morning at the anniversary opening. His great aunt was the first person baptized in the building, initially named Benvoulin Presbyterian Church. He hailed the Central Okanagan Heritage Society for working to keep Kelowna’s history alive. “We need to reflect back to that period, 30 years ago, when people had the vision and the foresight to take this on in terms of restoring and protecting our heritage,â€? said Thomson. “If you look at what has generated from that now with all the other work the heritage society is doing in helping preserve Kelowna’s past, I think all the volunteers and staff need to (be) thanked‌for the work they do in supporting and protecting our past.â€?

water on it in a quick period of time—that made a big difference right there. “And there was no wind. If it had been like yesterday, we would’ve been chasing it up the other side.” Mike Roche, parks senior operator with the Regional District of the Central Okanagan, was one of the first to notice the smoke coming from the park. He was bringing supplies to staff members at the main entrance of Mission Creek Park when he noticed smoke coming from the blaze. “I didn’t know if it was a house or what was happening. I quickly dropped off the supplies…I went across the creek to check things out. “A pine tree was starting to burn at the base and working its way up. The fire (was) spreading slowly because (there was) no wind. Then it hit a brush pile in the back and started getting a little worse— that’s when I heard sirens coming.” While Roche waited for fire crews to arrive he and another man blocked off the area to give firefighters easy access to the blaze. He also looked for potential culprits; however, Roche said he didn’t see anyone suspicious. With more hot weather in the forecast, the parks operator said the Regional District may close off a portion of the park. “What we’ve done in the past when the weather gets really hot and the park starts drying out (is) close the park on the south side of Mission Creek.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Junior chefs learn Okanagan culinary style Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
As the sun slipped down below the western hills across Okanagan Lake, wisps of smoke rose from the barbecue amongst the grapevines, eggplants and fruit trees at the Djordjevich family’s Stoney Paradise organic farm in East Kelowna. Seated around a linen-draped table, silhouettes of a couple of dozen guests could be seen enjoying a meal made almost entirely from locally-sourced products, most of which were picked that day from the vines, plants and trees that surrounded
the clearing where dinner was served. Organized by the Okanagan Chefs Association, it was a farewell dinner for the four junior chefs from all across Canada, prepared by those young people in thanks for the hospitality shown during their two-week exchange visit. Each also contributed a unique item brought from their home culinary region to the dishes they prepared, including red lentils, maple syrup, mustards and sunflower seeds. Melanie Robinson of Muskoka, Candice Edonomakos, of Toronto, Kimberley Knourek, of Regina, and Ryan Baker,
from Lethbridge, agreed the most remarkable concept they would take home with them was one thing they found is done quite differently in the Okanagan. “Everything here comes straight from the fields to the restaurants,� explained Baker, who said he was heading home to create a garden outside the kitchen of the restaurant where he works. Armed with their broader knowledge of Okanagan cuisine after a week touring game ranches, organic gardens and orchards, cheesemakers, wineries such as Mission Hill and Quails’

Gate and working in restaurant kitchens such as RauDZ Regional Table, the Grapevine at Gray Monk Estate Winery, the Bistro at Summerhill and the Wild Apple at Manteo—all agreed that fresh is best. This was the first of what will become an annual exchange for junior chefs from across Canada, organized by the Canadian Culinary Federation
and sponsored by Saputo, to provide an opportunity for them to explore a new culinary region. Next year it will be hosted by Prince Edward Island chefs. Dinner guests included local chefs Willi Franz, Rod Butters, Geoffrey Couper, Jesse Croy, Roger Sleiman and Jon Garratt as well as special guest and president of the CCFCC, Donald Gyurkovits from Vancouver.

New United Way executive director hired Boss from A1 While O’Brien noted that some people might find the prospect of fundraising to be a scary proposition, she has a different take on that. “I know there are people who would say who would want to have the task of calling people and ask for money, but I learned from my time at UBCO, it doesn’t have to be about that. It should really be about how to facilitate and connect people with causes that matter to them. I want to help that process happen,� she explained. O’Brien noted that she feels the United Way connects with many local residents through programs it supports for kids and adults that many people may not be aware of. O’Brien says the United Way sees a short-term goal of raising $2 million
through its September to December annual fundraising campaign, and up to $3 million looking five years ahead. “There is a definitely a need for the local non profit agencies we support to have that kind of stability in funding to do their jobs for the community,� she said. O’Brien, who is married and has a 16-year-old son, will head up a staff of three in the Kelowna office and two part-time staff out of Penticton.
She said with the fundraising campaign set to begin Sept. 16 with the annual kick-off breakfast, the plans are already in place for this year’s donation drive. “The fundraising campaign is always a busy time and I’ve got a huge learning curve ahead to learn more about the United Way people and programs it supports,� O’Brien said. “That will be a challenge when people are flat out running with the cam-
paign, but it’s a good time for me to learn‌so it’s best to dive in and get going.� The Kelowna kick-off breakfast takes place Friday, Sept. 14, 7 a.m., at the Coast Capri Hotel. In West Kelowna, the kick-off breakfast will take place Tuesday Sept. 18, 7 a.m., at the Holiday Inn.

PARENTING Hot lunch revolution
The First Lutheran Christian School in Kelowna will kick off the school year with a fresh spin on school hot lunches. In collaboration with Kia Robertson, of Today I Ate A Rainbow, and Sharon Bootsman, owner of Creative Cuisine Catering, the school will present families with a healthy alternative to the typical school hot lunch program. “Our facility boasts a beautiful commercial kitchen just off of our hot lunch room. It seemed like such a natural choice to provide a home-cooked menu,” said school admissions advisor and hot lunch coordinator Heather Sandager, “We are thrilled to team up with Sharon and Kia with the hope of creating a model that can be used for other schools. This is just the beginning.” In addition to a healthy menu, table manners and mealtime responsibilities will also be embedded into the program. Every child will be eating off of a dinner plate and using cutlery, which also results in less waste. Developing a connection with the hands that are preparing the food is also a unique part of the program. “Sharon is an artist with food. She is brilliant at making a plate colourful and fun for children to explore new food, especially fruits and vegetables,” noted Sandager. Making fruits and vegetables fun was the reason Robertson began the Today I Ate A Rainbow program. A former picky eater herself, Robertson wanted to create a tool to help her set healthy eating habits for her daughter. Her program kit is an interactive tool that makes it fun and easy to get kids eating a rainbow of colourful fruits and veggies every day. “School lunches are the perfect time to introduce kids to delicious, healthy food. Surrounded by peers, students are more willing to try new foods, it also helps to present it in fun ways,” expressed Robertson. “We will encourage the students to explore great tasting food that is good for their CONTRIBUTED bodies and their brains! It’s so exciting to connect with a school that truly cares about CLAIRE BRUCKER, a Grade 6 First Lutheran Christian School student, with Kia Robertson, of Today I Ate A the happiness and health of their students.” Rainbow, and Sharon Bootsman, owner of Creative Cuisine Catering. First Lutheran Christian School will introduce the new menu at a school open house on Wednesday, Aug. 29, from 1 to 3 p.m. All families are welcome to attend.

Canada flag bearer from Kelowna Kelowna’s Garett Hickling, a five-time Paralympian and threetime Paralympic medallist, has been named opening ceremony flag bearer for Team Canada at the London 2012 Paralympic Games. One of the top wheelchair rugby players in the world, Hickling was tournament MVP at the first three world championships held in the sport and has competed in every Paralympics that wheelchair rugby has been included in—since 1996. “I’m very, very, surprised,� said Hickling, who found out Saturday via Skype, surrounded by his teammates. “This wasn’t something I had even thought of or considered. I’m just ecstatic being able to play in
the Paralympics, and to be able to do something like this is just phenomenal. “I don’t know if I’m still in a daze or a dream. I probably will be smiling ear to ear and just try to hold that flag up high and represent Canada as best I can.� Born in Mica Creek, Hickling lived most of his life in Kelowna. He recently moved to Dorchester, Ont., to train with teammate David Willsie. While there, he developed a love of coaching and was instrumental in starting a new team in Toronto. Hickling is a quiet leader of Team Canada and his experience will be key in the team’s quest for gold. Selection criteria for the open-
ing ceremony flag bearer require that the athlete exhibit a commitment to fair play; be respected as a role model by other athletes; and maintain an exemplary standard of behaviour and have made a contribution to Paralympic sport and the sporting community. “Garett exemplifies all these qualities and more,� said Chef de Mission Gaetan Tardif. “He is one of the most feared athletes in the sport, yet also exceptionally humble. He is respected by athletes throughout Canada and the world.� Canada has a total of 145 athletes competing in 15 sports at the London 2012 Paralympic Games, from Aug. 29 to Sept. 9.

NDP wants to stand behind Twenty-month drug investigation concluded fruit farmers and the ALR Raids from A1
Barry Gerding EDITOR
Party leader Adrian Dix said an NDP government wants to be more proactive to address trade and other issues facing Okanagan fruit growers. Dix was responding at a media scrum Friday in Kelowna to complaints made by Okanagan Valley cherry growers last week about the declined state of cherry prices this year. He said the solution to farmers’ issues regarding fruit or other crops, however, is not found in dismantling the Agricultural Land Reserve, an issue that some cherry growers raised at a meeting in Rutland last week. “I think most people support the idea of having the ALR and the NDP are certainly supportive of it,� Dix said. But he acknowledged when the ALR was enacted by the NDP government back in the early ‘70, there was a recognition along with that for farmers to receive support from the government as well. Dix outlined several areas where he feels an NDP government could provide some direct assistance. He said product dumping at selling costs below B.C. farmer production cost levels can be addressed through a tribunal hearing process between the U.S. and Canada. Asked if the govern-
Adrian Dix ment would be willing to fund a case on behalf of cherry growers against Washington cherry imports, Dix stopped short of committing to cover the $200,000 cost. “I think it is reasonable that we would be called upon to put some skin into that debate,� he said with regards to assisting with the cost of mounting a tribunal legal challenge. Dix said the cancelled Buy B.C. program, abandoned by the Liberal government, should be revived to help promote provincial farm fruit and produce. And he said government agencies, such as the health regions, should make more effort to buy local. “We have talked with (Interior Health) about that and currently there is no program overall in place that encourages them to buy local,� Dix said. “About 25 per cent of produce products purchased by the IHA is from local producers. We need to lead by example with government agencies to

do better than that. “Thirty-seven of the 50 states in the U.S. have local agricultural product buying policies in place, so why can’t we here in B.C.?� Dix said it makes no sense to abandon the fruit growing industry in the Okanagan, noting the Okanagan and Fraser Valley are two of the prime agricultural regions in Canada.
RCMP say the case demonstrates the role marijuana plays in the drug trade. “The evidence gathered through this investigation is a stark reminder of the central role marijuana plays in the international drug trade and the influx of dangerous drugs like cocaine into Canada,� said Cantera. “The flow of marijuana, synthetic drugs and cocaine has always been

T
he B.C. Liberals have completely mishandled ICBC, and the proof came last week, when a review showed that the company has been hiring boatloads of senior managers and paying them more each year—with the government apparently oblivious to what was going on. There are 32 per cent more managers than in 2007, and they are paid (as a group) 70 per cent more than managers received in 2007. Fifty-four of them made
more than $200,000 each in 2011. The Liberals insisted, on taking office in 2001, that ICBC didn’t need to be privatized, nor did there need to be complete competition in the auto insurance sector. They have also insisted, especially in recent years, that substantial dividends from ICBC go back to the shareholder—the government. This means that all ICBC customers, and that’s everyone who owns a vehicle, are paying additional insurance premiums
to boost government revenues. It’s a tax grab, hidden in the guise of insurance costs. The government has now, very belatedly, said ICBC meeds to cut its management costs and manager compensation. This comes just after ICBC has boosted insurance rates by 11.2 per cent. The simple fact is this: ICBC is being used by government for all sorts of purposes that are far afield from its ostensible role as a public car insurance company.
This isn’t new—the NDP did this with ICBC back in its earliest days. But it certainly points out that the Liberals are just as good as the NDP at mismanaging Crown corporations and sticking taxpayers with extra costs. It just points out another argument in favour of why ICBC needs to be privatized. There is no real need to have government operate a car insurance company that forces all drivers to buy at least basic car insurance.

Studying projects to death is a wasted political gesture
N
DP leader Adrian Dix has announced that one of his first acts as premier would be to withdraw B.C. from the joint review of the Enbridge pipeline proposal from Alberta to Kitimat. The two-year federal-led review will be mostly done by next May, but Dix proposes to start a new provincial assessment to examine at the B.C. portion. He doesn’t know how much it would cost, and under questioning he all but admitted the intention is to study the pipeline to death. Fresh from a summer tour of the
pipeline route to reaffirm solidarity with its opponents, Dix is hardly in a position to consider anything but maximum resistance. As Premier Christy Tom Clark did in her showFletcher down with Alberta over benefits, Dix hinted that provincial permits for river and wildlife crossings would be made as expensive as possible, if not refused. The same fate awaits the Kinder Morgan plan to twin the existing Trans-Mountain oil pipeline to Burnaby. Dix left the impression that he would undo the years of work that have gone into bringing some ratio-
VICTORIA VIEWS
nal sense to environmental approvals that can be, and have been, dragged out for years. The B.C. hearings would provide another platform for opponents, and more complaints to justify refusal at the provincial level, to go along with court cases and direct-action protests. Speaking of which, the frontal assault by agitators at the federal Enbridge hearings has mostly petered out. After 4,000-odd people were signed up to speak, most didn’t bother, and some hearings were cancelled. Apparently slacktivists such as “Jonathan L. Seagull” and “Cave Man” didn’t make it out of their Vancouver basement suites to tell the panel oil is bad. Professional environmentalists are
now wringing their hands over Ottawa’s decision to leave smaller-scale reviews to the province. This means, for example, that there won’t be a duplicate federal review of the urgently needed refit of the John Hart Dam on the Campbell River. One reader suggested that environmental pioneer Roderick HaigBrown is still spinning in his grave over the damming of this legendary salmon river. Perhaps, but that was in 1947. Does it make sense today to lard pointless bureaucracy onto a reconstruction that replaces wooden pipes and provides earthquake protection, without expanding river impact? NDP environment critic Rob Fleming hammered away at the B.C. Liberals about this in the spring, re-
minding them that Auditor General John Doyle had exposed a lack of resources in the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office, even before Ottawa’s changes. Fleming makes it sound like a huge new burden has been dumped on B.C. False. Provincial assessment already must be done with the participation of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Transport Canada, the provincial ministries of natural resources and energy and mines, and of course aboriginal communities. This is why it’s so long and expensive. And don’t be fooled into believing that a federal review would go out and count the tadpoles and caribou again.

▼ SMART METERS
Will measuring natural gas be next? To the editor: Smart meters are being installed simply because the government needs them to meet their goals. The public utilities have stated reducing electricity theft or faster identification of outages will save money to reduce rates. These are valid reasons perhaps, but I think they’re really a shield to the true objectives of the government. Perhaps the government underestimated the public opposition to WiFi (radio frequency) and the fear of increased consumer costs as a result of smart meters. However, government has consistently remain silent as the installation of smart meters marches quickly on—gaining exactly what they want. A lot of time and energy has, and continues to be, wasted dealing with BC Hydro and Fortis when it is the government alone that needs to account for what is taking place. When BC Hydro communicated rate hikes of 10 per cent for the next three years, the government closed all opportunities for public discussion very quickly. The tiered rate structure, which has been introduced July 1, 2012, by Fortis, following the BC Hydro implementation, is another objective of the government and not the utility. Tiered rates are a conservation move, a role only the government dictates. The government has a difficult problem with two goals— reducing electrical consumption while at the same time realizing the premier’s mandate to reduce greenhouse gases. For example, heat pumps are very efficient for heating and produce zero greenhouse gases as opposed to a natural gas furnace (95 per cent efficient). A backup heat source is al-
ways needed (preferably a gas furnace) because heat pumps become inefficient at cooler temperatures and also can’t be sized to accommodate the entire heat load in cold weather. The Fortis website (www. fortisbc.com/Electricity/PowerSense/Homes/Pages/Spaceheating-cost-comparison.aspx) shows that, at today’s rates, using an air source heat pump and a 95 per cent efficient furnace will cost $80 more than using a 95 per cent efficient furnace alone. It should also be noted the carbon tax further inflates the natural gas price. The problem is in the winter months, the first tier of electricity is quickly consumed in the house so the heat pump operates within the second tier driving the operating costs up. Even comparing energy costs for a geothermal heat pump consuming electricity in the second tier is more expensive than today’s natural gas rate. There are a couple of problems here. Many heat pumps were installed using taxpayer money under such programs as LiveSmartBC. This taxpayer money is now in jeopardy. Using the furnace alone, because the operating costs of the heat pump is more expensive, increases greenhouse gases—something the government doesn’t want. As another example, the government is spending up to $2.75 million with the Community Charging Infrastructure Fund installing electric vehicle public charging facilities in B.C. communities. One objective of this is to increase sales of electric vehicles and thereby reduce greenhouse gas emissions. During the winter months recharging an electric vehicle will likely occur at the second, more expensive, tier rate.
As you add more of these environmentally friendly items to your electrical load, your costs skyrocket in the winter months because of consumption at the next tier, so they become to expensive too operate because of conservation rates. The Fortis website states one of the benefits of smart meters is to be ready to help new technologies, such as electric vehicles. Another benefit stated is the reduction of 191 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions when the meter reading vehicles are off the road, something the government wants but still has an issue with because of the need for meter readers to read natural gas meters. My sense is the government, through the B.C. Utilities Commission, is manipulating us so if you want to get the lowest cost on your electricity bill, you will need the smart meter. The smart meter will be the pioneer of a future where other devices (perhaps more radio frequency) will report their usage and based on what the electricity is used for, or when, will decide what rate you will be charged. Once again, this will be government doing this and not the utility. An email sent to local MLAs Ben Stewart and Rich Coleman, and Premier Christy Clark, went unanswered for six weeks. The reply I finally received did not answer my question: Did they really understand the impact tiered prices creates with heat pumps given their contribution to reduce greenhouse gases? The response, from a electricity policy analyst in Coleman’s office, was a link to the BC Hydro site for conservation tips and the only positive remark, that B.C. electrical rates are some of the lowest. The bottom line is smart me-
ter installations continue while you wait for a reply from the government that is worthless. My feeling is because tiered rates are relatively new (Fortis has just introduced theirs), many consumers do not have a clear picture of how these tiered conservation rates will effect their costs of operating things that are supposed to be environmentally friendly. Homeowners with heat pumps have probably never considered looking at all the natural gas suppliers’ rates to reduce their costs, yet this maybe is a reality of the future. It is also interesting that natural gas suppliers compete while there is no competition in electricity. The City of Kelowna has a municipal electrical utility that does not answer to the B.C. Utilities Commission and therefore the government. Fortis is looking at taking over Kelowna’s electrical utility with the city stating that infrastructure replacement cost (is that smart meters?) is high on the list in an effort to make the sale appear positive. Should this takeover not happen, then it opens the door to more public debate on smart meters and tiered rates—something that has not happened so far and perhaps something Kelowna and other cities will not want to take on themselves. Of course, the provincial government may ‘make it happen’ to meet its goals, thereby excluding further public debate. Was this not the way the HST was implemented? In my opinion, we have been deceived by the government by their absence of any involvement. With the success they have had, they might try the same tactics for a third time—natural gas smart meters.

I agree with the NDP that B.C. environmental assessment needs more resources, in particular to do the follow-up on approved projects, as called for by the auditor general. Forest management needs more money, too. All the more reason not to waste resources on political gestures.

Cats and dogs can be assisted with chronic health issues M ‘‘
ost people are really good with noticing sudden changes in the behaviour or medical condition of their pets. The problems start with conditions that develop and progress over time, chronic diseases, that often go unnoticed. Daisy is one of those unfortunate animals that lives with a chronic problem that affects her entire quality of life. Daisy is a lovely cat that came to board with us at Rose Valley Veterinary Hospital while her owners were out of town. As always, I conduct a physical exam when a
FURRY FRIENDS
Dr. Moshe Oz cat checks in to our boarding facility. I readily noticed with Daisy that her breathing was abnormal and laboured. Daisy’s owners told me this problem has existed for the past six or seven years in varying degrees of severity. Daisy’s owners are very dedicated and loving. They want all the best
for their pets and will do whatever is required for their animal’s wellbeing. In this instance, they were not aware Daisy had a medical condition. They assumed that this breathing pattern is normal for their cat. I am indebted to Daisy and her owners for that conversation, because that has made me realize how important it is to explain to pet lovers that no abnormality in their pet should be left untreated with the assumption that this is “just normal for the pet,� particularly one that is aging. Most pet owners assume their pet is healthy

as long as it eats, drinks and has a good mood. Some diseases manifest with symptoms that you wouldn’t necessarily expect. One of the conditions in cats that may progress over time and go on unnoticed, as was diagnosed in Daisy’s case, is feline asthma . Feline asthma is a common allergic respiratory disease in cats, affecting at least one per cent of all adult cats worldwide. The disease has an acute form, in which the symptoms appear suddenly. More commonly, this disease has a chronic progressive nature.

some foods. The disease has different degrees of severity, ranging from mild and intermittent to severe and life threatening. The best diagnostic tool for diagnosing feline asthma, is by x-ray. The x-ray exam allows the doctor to visualize the chest, assessing the size and shape of the heart and looking at the typical patterns in the lungs. Additional tests such as blood panel and fecal test are often also helpful in reaching a definite di-
agnosis, and can aid with ruling out other causes of similar symptoms. As with asthma for humans, unfortunately this condition has no cure, but it can be controlled with a combination of medications that suppress the immune system reaction and medications that dilate the airways. Your pet can’t converse with you and tell that it suffers from pain or physical inconvenience. So if you see a different physical or behavioural pattern, do not assume that this is normal for your pet. There is a big chance that your pet suffers from some sort of abnormal condition, and most likely there is help.

The disease nature is similar to any other allergy. The body’s immune system attacks an object, it recognizes as foreign, triggering an inflammatory reaction. This inflammatory reaction leads to the swelling and thus to the narrowing of the cat’s respiratory tract. Common symptoms include wheezing, coughing, laboured breathing and potentially life-threatening constriction (narrowing) of the small airways. While specific asthma-causing agents typically remain unidentified, suspected allergens include tobacco smoke, dusty kitty litter, vapours from household cleaning solutions and aerosol sprays, pollen from trees, weeds and grass, mold and mildew, dust mites, smoke from fireplaces and candles, and even

better posture W
hile you may not think about it much, posture is a very important issue. Improved posture can help you look and feel better, and this improvement is possible regardless of your current habits. Consider taking up FITNESS FOR some or all of the followSENIORS ing eight tips outlined below to improve your posture. Become aware the best way to obtain betBobbi ter posture is to become of the posture that Kittle aware you have now. Do you tend to slouch while writing? Lean forward while at the computer? Find a cue that happens often, such as a phone ringing or a door closing, and check your posture each time that cue occurs—then correct yourself. Tone muscles exercise and muscle tone actually enhance posture. Often, slouching occurs due to weak muscles. Position your head once you have begun exercising and reminding yourself of your daily posture, start noticing the position of your head. Many people walk with heads jutted forward, causing undue strain on the neck muscles. Instead, make sure that it is placed squarely atop your neck. You may feel taller after this exercise. Once used to it, your overall appearance will benefit. Position your shoulders. The shoulders often slouch backwards, giving the body a concave look. For better posture, make sure that your shoulders are upright and that your back is arched in toward the front. My friend suggests acting as though your hands are tucked into your back pockets. This will make you look taller and more confident. Notice your knees. Many people walk stiffly, due to the fact that their knees are not properly supporting their body. Take a minute to notice your knees, and how they relate to the rest of your leg. Are they stiff as you walk? What happens when you sit down? Ideally, your knees should support you and your legs while you stand, sit and walk. Relax your arms. While trying to implement all of these postural improvements, don’t lock your arms. There is a tendency to lock the arms when concentrating on another part of the body. Leave your arms relaxed and loose while walking, allowing them to dangle and move. Remain active. Poor posture is often the result of sitting, standing or walking excessively all day. To maintain better posture, try and have a healthy amount of standing, walking, sitting and lying down in each day. Relax. Try to relax even while under important deadlines and meetings, and notice how much better you feel during pressured moments. Careful integration of this last tip into your daily life will make all of the other tips seem easier.

▼ HOSPITAL FUNDRAISER
Celeb racqueteers return to centre court Jim Couper CONTRIBUTOR
The 10th annual Celebrity Tennis Classic and Bocce Ball tournament in 2011 was supposed to be its last event. But the popular fundraiser had a rebirth in 2012. “It’s back by popular demand,” said tournament host Walley Lightbody, Gordy Charles, of the organizing committee, said, “Last fall people told us we had a good thing happening and we should continue.” The tournament is a unique event that has raised $500,000 for Kelowna General Hospital over its history. Starting on Friday, Sept. 14, the home of Walley and Marietta Lightbody becomes headquarters for a weekend of fundraising sports events. Tennis matches, opening ceremonies and a
wine and cheese reception will be held on the Abbott Street side of their lakeshore property with its private tennis court. Stands holding 200 spectators get erected on lawn while the bocce tournament takes place on the lakefront side of the property. The three-day event demands a lot of attention from the Lightbodys. “Their energy level was way up this spring. We are trying to take some of the demands off their shoulders to ensure the continued success of the event,” Charles said. On Sept. 14, at 4 p.m. tennis tournament play begins with the annual doctors vs. lawyers grudge match plus competition among some of the best players in B.C. A wine, beer and hors d’oeuvres reception, featuring the Kelowna Pipe Band and jazz vocalist Anna Jacyszyn, starts at
6 p.m. A $40 donation to the hospital covers all of Friday’s events and includes more tennis play on Saturday and entry into the Tom Capozzi Bocce Championship. A $500 prize is awarded to the bocce winner and then the prize is taken back and given to the hospital. The only skill required for this fun event is the ability to roll a ball the size of a softball about 10 metres. The Saturday evening features dinner, awards, prizes, raffles and a silent auction at the Coast Capri Hotel. Proceeds from the fundraiser will be used to purchase cardiac/respiratory monitors for pediatrics at KGH. These units cost $22,000 each. Registration for the opening events, dinner or competition can be done at KGHfoundation.com
or by calling 250-8624438. Every year event organizers honour those who have contributed to the hospital and/or tennis in the past. This year’s honourees are Jennifer Hindle, Roger Watts and Bert Davies. Hindle was a superb athlete and a long-time hero of the arts in Kelowna. She promoted music, theatre, dance and the visual arts. Having lived in Kelowna for more than 50 years, many old timers remember when she and husband John, who served two terms as mayor of Kelowna, were proprietors of the old Eldorado Hotel.
Lawyer Roger Watts was equally at home on tennis court or in the Supreme Court. Watts has been one of the event’s annual financial sponsors. He could be counted on to say “yes” with his characteristic enthusiasm when asked to assist in any way. Davies reigned as Bocce Ball Champion from West Vancouver. He was one of the first supporters when the fundraiser got underway. Father of Brent Davies, owner of the Sequoia Group of Restaurants in Vancouver, Davies and his wife Colleen accompanied the Sequoia Team to past tournaments.

Software entrepreneur to ▼ NHL help OC business students Collective bargaining process for A dedicated entrepreneur with expertise in the dynamic world of software has accepted the role of Entrepreneur-in-Residence this year at Okanagan College’s School of Business. Raghwa Gopal is now the fifth Okanagan successful entrepreneur to bring his expertise to students at the college. Gopal, president of the Okanagan Angel Network, co-founded and established Vadim Software, and retired as president and chief technology officer at the end of 2006. He is a Certified Business Coach, Certified Executive Coach, a lead mentor with British Columbia Innovation Council and venture advisor with Accelerate Okanagan. Barry McGillivray, associate dean with the Okanagan School of Business, said Gopal comes by the role naturally, having already served as one of the key supporters of the school’s many programs. “Raghwa has a long history of involvement with students as a mentor and as a judge in our competitions, which includes working with our awardwinning SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) team,” McGillivray said. “I know the students will benefit from the many opportunities they’ll have to meet and talk with Raghwa. “He’ll add tremendously to our program and to the student experience at Okanagan College.” As Entrepreneur-in-

RAGHWA GOPAL is a long-time Kelowna enterpreneur and president of the Okanagan Angel Network. Residence for the academic year, Gopal will guest lecture, and provide one-on-one mentoring, giving students the opportunity to learn and examine in a personal way what entrepreneurs do to become successful. “My vision is to bring a ‘real world’ perspective to the classroom by offering students pragmatic advice on their entrepreneurial ideas, business plans, strategies and pitches,” Gopal said. “I want to meet with students in groups, and in one-on-one sessions, and take time as well to collaborate with various faculty members on cases,
courses and other activities.” Gopal also serves as a member of the advisory committee for the Bachelor of Computer Information Systems degree program, and is a board director of the Okanagan College Foundation.

e are roughly three weeks away from the date on which the National Hockey League owners have said there must be a new collective agreement with the players’ association. Last week, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said the league and players remain “far apart” on key financial elements. The initial offers from the two sides seem to have only widened the divide between them. Bettman has indicated that the players will be locked out if a new deal is not in place by Sept. 15. In July, the league made the first move, with an offer including a reduction of players’ share of hockeyrelated revenues from 57 per cent to 46 per cent. Reports indicated the league is also seeking new restrictions on free agency, salary arbitration, the length of entry-level contracts, and on signing bonuses and the structuring of long-term contracts. A few weeks later, the players responded with their proposal, including acceptance of a smaller percentage of revenues for players and an expanded revenue sharing program to help struggling teams. Donald Fehr, the executive director of the NHL Players’ Association, characterized the players’ offer as one which could “stabilize the industry.” It does seem to be the more substantial of the two offers, containing a new vision for financial stability for both the “have” and “have not” teams. After an initial review, Bettman said, “It’s clear to me that they didn’t put it together in an hour or two, and as a result we’re going to
YOU WORK need to take a little bit HERE of time to evaluate it,
understand it.” I don’t know if he intended that as a backhanded slap in the face for Fehr and Robert the players but, to me, Smithson it came across that way. In any event, the offers put forward by the league and the players appear as different as apples and oranges. For the most part, the two sides don’t even seem to be negotiating on the same topics, which could pose a bit of an obstacle to getting a deal done. Fehr has indicated that the players are not interested in a strike or lockout. “Nobody on the players’ side is talking about stopping the season,” he said. Pat Hickey wrote a useful column on this topic in the Vancouver Sun a few days ago. He started off by saying, “Find the number. That’s the key to settling the current impasse between the National Hockey League and its players. The key players in this dispute have been around long enough to know there is a number that will satisfy both parties. The nature of compromise is that neither side will be happy with the number, but they will be satisfied.” That, of course, is entirely true. There is a number, or perhaps a set of terms, which will ultimately be acceptable to both parties. There is precisely zero chance that these two parties will never again reach a deal that will permit professional hockey to be played on this continent. Both sides know that, the sports media knows that, and the rest of us know that. The unknowns are how long it is going to take and what the final terms are going to be.
Hickey also mentioned the item which may ultimately be the biggest sticking point—the drastic cuts in players’ shares of revenue being demanded by the league. He wrote: “After seven years of boasting about annual increases in revenue, the league is crying poor. But the economic state of the NHL resembles a Third World country, with rich teams at the top and a collection of struggling have-nots at the bottom. While the league’s initial proposal to the players asked for a five-year limit on contracts and equal payments in each season, the rich teams continue to sign players to front-loaded, long-term deals.” It doesn’t really seem that the league cares all that much about the contrary message such long-term, front-loaded deals send out. They seem to think they have the leverage—that the players need the league more than the league needs the players—and the always smug Bettman appears content to let things wind down to the Sept. 15 deadline. We all know how these things go. It will appear that the parties are miles apart right up until the moment when they announce they’ve reached a deal. That neither side seems to be on the same page just yet isn’t reason for panic. Bettman said he and deputy commissioner Bill Daly will sit down with Fehr and his brother Steve Fehr, the union’s number two man, in a small group session this week. My guess is they’ll get a deal done by Sept. 15, but I wouldn’t bet on it. When a deal is finally made, then we can all return to speculating about where Vancouver Canucks netminder Roberto Luongo will be playing this season.

BUSINESS
Reminder on how to make a difference in the world W hen I was recently asked to meet a client entrepreneur of Sharon Murray, the new vicechair of the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society, little did I realize that meeting would give me pause to reflect on the importance of making a difference” in someone’s life. Sometimes a small display of caring can plant a seed that will impact that person’s life forever in a positive meaningful way and affect many people. But that wasn’t on my mind when I journeyed to a nearby coffee bistro to meet Kyla Ramirez, a certified Pilates trainer and operator of Complete Core Pilates in Kelowna. That Ramirez was truly focused on making a difference in the health and fitness of her clients came to my attention very quickly. Ramirez’s personal story begins in South America, where she lived with her family in Ecuador before moving to Alberta at age 11, as her family lived in Red Deer and then nearby Innisfail. Ramirez remembers how she expected to assist her father in his car garage business while studying. When both of her parents became ill while she was at university, Ramirez had to step to the plate and run the business for her father. After she graduated with a Bachelor of Environmental Science degree, illness to her parents forced Ramirez again to return to help run the family business. The stress of study-
Telling your story Capital News columnist Joel Young is now working on the second season of his television series The Fire WithinThe Entrepreneurial Spirit produced in collaboration with Shaw Broadcasting. The series features interviews with Okanagan entrepreneurs, and Young is looking for new entrepreneurs to participate in the show’s second season. To be selected as an interview participate for the show, send a submission telling your story to Young at eagleyoung@ shaw.ca. Production is expected to begin next month on the second season of the series.
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young ing and working full-time took its toll, as Ramirez realized she truly needed a break. So took time off from work and school for three months, and went camping and ice climbing where she met her husband. The young couple embraced a potential opportunity to become adventurers of sort and moved to New Zealand where her husband worked in the forestry industry and Ramirez took a job as a swim coach and yoga teacher. It was there that she discovered Pilates and fell in love with the discipline and its scientific approach to human health and fitness. She quickly embarked on becoming trained and qualified in teaching the Pilates method. The couple then decided to move back to Canada in 2006, settling in the Yukon where she embarked on creating the Pilates business venture of her dreams.
After two years of working on the business, the couple had a baby and then moved to the Okanagan, where Ramirez started up her own Pilates studio. With yoga and pilates currently listed among the top10 growth business markets in North America, she is convinced her entrepreneurial venture decision is the right one for her. Her determination to succeed as an entrepreneur stems from her father as her role model identifying his positivity, determination and perseverance paved the road to his successes in business along with a tremendous vision to succeed. Watching her father as she grew up prepared Ramirez to become the entrepreneurial person she is today. Ramirez told me she embraces the triumphs in her venture that come from the relationships she builds with her Pilates clients (www.completecore pilates.com). She has been a Pilates teacher for more than nine years now and her current business venture is moving to new levels as she explores new and exciting alliances with other health and fitness professionals and the diverse client base she continues to
accumulate. It is such a joy for me to meet and learn from the many outstanding people that make up the Okanagan regional landscape, people who genuinely care about the service they provide and the people they assist. In closing, let me offer my thoughts on we can all a positive difference in other people’s lives, sometimes without even realizing it. Everyone is put in this world to contribute and make a difference in our own unique way. It just needs to be something you do with the intention of doing good. We already have what it takes to make the world a better place. Making a difference may seem like an enormous task, but it’s within the collective effort of everyone to make small contributions with a lot of heart. The size is not what matters most. The key here is to have the heart to act now. Your contribution to making a difference in the world or in someone’s life is never too small— nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something. Just consider how noticing someone who has been misunderstood in a group, a classroom or
an organization, and how making them feel their words are meaningful can potentially point their life in a positive and productive direction. Let’s follow the philosophy of Kyla Ramirez
does in her Pilates business venture and personal life, spreading our positive values and care to those we come in contact with in our daily lives. You will become a different person yourself. I

Top picks see future with the Rockets Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
The highlight of Nick Merkley’s young life came this spring when the Kelowna Rockets called his name in the first round of the WHL bantam draft. But it wasn’t until the skilled 5-foot-9, 165-pound centre from Calgary competed at last weekend’s four-day rookie camp that the prospects of a long and productive career in major junior hockey in the Okanagan truly came into focus. “It kind of didn’t seem real at first before I got here, but for sure I can see it now,” said Merkley, the ninth overall choice who scored 118 points in 56 games with the Calgary bantam AA Bisons last season. “I got a really good feel for the camp, the way they run things, and just what a good organization they have here. I had a good week and can’t wait for the day I pull the jersey on and play here for the first time.” Merkley and the club’s second bantam choice in 2012, defenceman Joe Gatenby, are projected to be key components of Rockets’ future teams.
Unlike Merkley, Gatenby was already familiar with both Kelowna and the Rockets. The 5-foot-11, 160 pound Calgary native moved here two years ago and played the last two seasons with the Pursuit of Excellence program. He also attended Rockets games on a regular basis. And based on what he’s seen so far, Gatenby hopes a lengthy and prosperous relationship with the WHL club is just beginning. “I know the Rockets aren’t one of those organizations that are going to rush young players like me, they’re very methodical about that sort of thing,” said Gatenby, 15. “At the same time, I want to be playing with them as soon as I can. My goal is to make it here, play here for a long time and help them build towards a Memorial Cup championship. I’ll do my best to contribute in any way I can.” With the attributes that each player brings to the ice, Rockets player personnel director Lorne Frey is hopeful both will be big contributors for years to come with the WHL team.
Frey on Merkley: “He’s the total package, an excellent skater, he had good pucks skills, and competes very hard. He does everything at a high speed and that’s what makes him maybe a notch above everybody else.” Frey on Gatenby: “One thing about Joe is he’s an excellent skater, he has great mobility, very composed, and makes excellent passes. He’s mobile, intelligent and makes good decisions.” Both players will join the Rockets Tuesday for the start of main training camp. Merkley will return to Calgary to play midget AAA hockey this season, while Gatenby will suit up for the BCMML’s Okanagan Rockets.
CHARTIER SIGNS The Kelowna Rockets’ top pick from the 2011 bantam draft has officially climbed aboard with the WHL club. Saskatoon-born centre Christian Chartier signed on with the Rockets last week in advance of the team’s main training camp. Chartier, 16, the 15th overall pick last year, tied for the Saskatchewan midget AAA scoring lead
last season with 73 points (34 goals, 39 assists) in 58 games for the Saskatoon Contacts. Chartier is excited to get his WHL career started. “I’m glad to get that out of the way and now it comes time to playing,” said Chartier. “I’m just going to play my game, work my hardest and prove to them that I belong here.” Rockets director of player personnel Lorne Frey says the Rockets are excited to see what Chartier brings to the table after he had a solid season of midget hockey in Saskatchewan. Chartier helped the Contacts to the Telus Cup national midget championship. “We’re happy we have him here and we’re hoping he can learn and develop and grow into a very exciting hockey player that will be an asset for us for years to come,” said Frey. On the subject of making the step up to major junior hockey, Chartier said: “They’re are a lot bigger guys, full grown men. I will try to play my game and hopefully all the off ice training I did in

Okanagan Sun now in recovery mode after lurching to a 1-3 start Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
On a night when Steven Doege stepped into the Canadian Junior Football League record books, not too much else went the Okanagan Sun’s way. As the veteran defensive lineman was establishing a new career standard for sacks Saturday night in Langley, his club was going down to defeat 34-3 at the hands of the Rams. The B.C. Football Conference’s new unbalanced schedule—featuring three games each vs the Rams and Vancouver Island—has already hit the Sun hard as the club slips to 1-3 heading into the bye week. A banged up team from three straight road games, the Sun has plenty time to rest and recuperate, but won’t get a chance to make amends until its next game on Sept. 8. “The problem going into a bye week is you can’t get rid of that bitter taste, you can’t actively

breaking 30-29 loss to the Raiders a week earlier in Nanaimo, the Sun fell behind early against the Rams Saturday and simply couldn’t muster any push back on offense. Langley scored on its first two possessions, then put the Sun in a big hole late in the first half when Jordan Linnen picked off
a Cam Bedore pass and returned it for touchdown to make it 20-3. After a scoreless third quarter, the Rams put the game on ice with two more major scores in the fourth. “The Rams are a highly-skilled group, they’re well-coached and you can’t take anything way

from them,” Lake said. “We needed to play our best in all three components against them, and for the bulk of the game, our offense didn’t get that done. You can’t have two first downs in the first half and win.” One bright spot on offense, according to Lake, was breaking the 100-yard barrier in rushing yards for the first time this season. Also on the upside of a mostly disappointing night, Lake was generally pleased with the play of his defense which “stayed with the Rams” for the most part but simply ran out of gas in the fourth quarter from spending too much time on the field. Then there was Doege, 21, who picked up 1.5 sacks against Langley to set a new CJFL mark with 37.5 in his impressive junior career of just 34 games. “It’s an incredible accomplishment and he’s worked very hard to get where he is,” Lake said of Doege. “He has another year and a half he could
be playing here, so he has a chance to obliterate the mark. We’re excited for him.” Dan Ferrier took over the kicking duties and was effective when called upon, including connecting on a 17-yard field goal.
The Sun will be facing must wins pretty much every step of the way in order to stay in the mix for a top-three finish in the BCFC. Okanagan returns to action at home on Sept. 8 for a crucial matchup against the Westshore Rebels (3-1).

▼ NATIONALS MARISA HART of BushFire, the Kelowna’s women’s
Gaining ultimate experience A pair of Kelowna teams soaked up some Island sun and plenty of national-level experience last weekend at the 2012 Canadian Ultimate Championships in Victoria. The Sofa Kings competed in the open category, while the Bushfire were entered in the women’s event as 72 teams from across the country competed in six different divisions. The Sofa Kings posted a 3-6 record over four days of competition to finish 10th out of 16 teams.
“Veteran players Bruce Plaxton and Adam Gowenlock were instrumental in keeping the team going, after some tough losses,” said Tez Lamvohee of the Sofa Kings. “With half the team attending their first nationals, the Sofa Kings took a big leap in making themselves known to the rest of Canada. With a solid core group, next year’s nationals in Vancouver will be even better.” The Bushfire failed to hit the win column in

ous national experience. “Our best games were against some of the top teams and although we couldn’t quite sneak out a win, we rose to the occasion and made teams work hard for their points,” said Bushfire captain Kyla Jackson. “Bushfire had two goals this season: to make it to Nationals and to encourage more women in the Okanagan to try competitive women’s ultimate. We achieved both goals and I’m so proud that so many women committed to our squad and improved their skills as much as they did.” Okanagan players made their presence felt on other teams at nationals: Ashlee Davison and Beverley Porter won gold in the women’s division (Traffic form Vancouver);

HUBER, JOSEF Joe passed away peacefully on August 24, 2012 at the age of 87, with his family by his side. He was predeceased by his loving wife, Anna; his eldest daughter, Elsie McKernan; his brother, Edmund Huber; and his brother-in-law, Joe Czerwinski. He will be dearly missed by the members of his family, all of whom he loved so much. Joe is survived by his two daughters, Ingrid (Gene) Sivorot, and Hilde (Terry) Schneider, and his son Joe (Kirsten) Huber, all of Kelowna; 13 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren; his sister, Emma Czerwinski; and his sisters-in-law, Liz (Don) Cameron and Ann Huber. Joe was born of German descent in Romania in 1925. He immigrated to Regina with his wife and young daughter in 1950. He was a skilled cabinet maker who eventually moved his family to the Okanagan. He began a new career in the motel business in Penticton and then Kelowna, very quickly becoming a successful hotelier. Although he attempted to retire at a young age, his drive to create and build pulled him back into business. Together with members of his family, he developed and built hotels for many more years. In addition, he dedicated himself to numerous building projects for the Diocese of Nelson, leaving his imprint in many communities in the Southern Interior. He will be remembered as a great businessman, a loving family man, and a strong person of faith. A Prayer Service will be held on Wednesday, August 29th at 7:30 pm. Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Thursday, August 30th at 11:00 am. Both services will be held at Immaculate Conception Church, 839 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, BC. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to may make a donation to either the Alzheimer Society of BC, or the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC, in the name of Josef Huber. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springďŹ eldfuneralhome.com.

10 MINUTES TO DISASTER LOU LOU If it’s hot, your pet may be in trouble! The temperature in a parked car, even in the shade with the windows partly open, can rapidly reach a level that will seriously harm or even kill your pet. On summer days the air and upholstery in your vehicle can heat up to high temperatures that make it impossible for pets to cool themselves. Your dog will be more comfortable if left at home. If you see a dog in a car on a hot day that you believe may be in trouble, call your local SPCA, animal shelter, or police immediately.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen In Season In Season is a little book put together by a local farm family, with recipes from family and friends for local fruits and vegetables. The Davison family farm includes Davison Orchards Country Village, where you can not only buy the fresh produce they grow—even baked into a pie—but you can also tour their farm, enjoy treats in the cafe and activities through the season. First settled in 1933 by Tom and May Davison after they immigrated from England, a succession of family members have taken over the farm operation and added their own touches to what is still the family farm, but includes much more. These are like the recipes passed down from your mom, using local produce such as apricots, raspberries, rhubarb, plums, peaches, pears and apples; cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, corn, carrots, cauliflower, zucchini, beans, cabbage and potatoes. I’m a big fan of supporting local farm families by buying local produce in season, not only for the huge economic impact such a decision has on our community, but also because you gain the side benefits of the best flavour, freshness and probably nutrition as well, since that purchase is so close to the soil it was grown in. In a broader sense, local purchases have a far smaller carbon footprint when gallons of jet fuel or diesel don’t have to be consumed for it to arrive on your plate… So, take a walk through a local farmers’ market, drop by the next fruit stand or on-farm market you see or answer some of the ads in this newspaper for top quality, local produce. In Season: Make the Most of the Local Harvest, is available at Davison Orchards in Vernon, local bookstores such as Mosaic, both at the downtown location and the new store in Rutland, as well as at some wineries and at Pioneer Market in Kelowna—a good stop for fresh produce as well. For hundreds of recipes for local products, arranged by season, pick up a copy of my book, Jude’s Kitchen, available at bookstores such as Mosaic and Chapters as well as at wine shops.

Dora Davison's Peachy Sour Cream Coffee Cake
Gingered Cucumber Salad This recipe of J. Lafontaine’s sounds like a refreshing, light salad for a warm day and a great way to make use of the bounty of fresh cucumbers now available, after all our hot weather. This is also the sort of salad that is less likely to go all limp in the lunchbox, or that could be prepared ahead of time, ready for an afterschool snack. 2 cucumbers 1 tsp. (5 ml) salt
This is delicious, with lots of crunchy pecans wrapped up in a nice light cake and topped with sweet, tree-ripened peaches. I made a few substitutions: butter instead of butterflavoured shortening, brown sugar instead of white and plain, fat-free yogurt for the sour cream, but it still tasted great. It would be a lovely treat in the lunchbox, or for an after-school snack. This makes about 12 wedges of coffee cake.
1 tsp. (5 ml) grated fresh ginger 1/4 c. (60 ml) vinegar 1 1/2 tbsp. (22 ml) sugar Peel cucumbers and cut into thin slices. Sprinkle with salt and let stand for a half-hour. Drain off excess liquid. Grate fresh ginger and combine with remaining ingredients. Refrigerate for an hour or so before serving.
1/2 c. (125 ml) butter-flavoured shortening 1 c. (250 ml) sugar 2 eggs 2 c. (500 ml) flour 1 1/2 tsp. (8 ml) baking powder 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) baking soda 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) salt 1 c. (250 ml) sour cream 1 tsp. (5 ml) vanilla extract 2 c. (500 ml) sliced, peeled fresh peaches
STREUSEL TOPPING/FILLING: 2 c. (500 ml) chopped pecans 1/3 c. (75 ml) brown sugar 3 tbsp. (45 ml) sugar 1 tsp. (5 ml) cinnamon Combine all streusel ingredients and set aside.
