▼ FIRE

Arson suspected in three Rutland fires Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

A grass fire and two hedge fires were lit between Leathead and Pearson Roads in Rutland within minutes of each other Monday. Just before 11:30 a.m., two engines and a bush truck responded to reports of a small grass fire on Fraser Road. While putting out the blaze, crews noticed smoke coming from a small hedge fire at Pearson and Hollywood Roads. One of the engines travelled the short distance to extinguish the second fire, which only managed to singe a few small hedges. Approximately half

an hour after the second fire was ignited, a pillar of smoke rose from tall hedges near the intersection of Fraser and Leathead Roads. Kelowna Fire Department Platoon Captain Henry Roelofs said all three fires are considered suspicious due to their proximity to each other. “Due to their nature, it’s pretty obvious that they were maliciously set,” said Roelofs. The third fire was the biggest and could’ve been a lot worse, according to Roelofs. “We were fortunate I had a crew available that quick on the third fire. That one could’ve really gone. The hedges are probably 20-feet high,

packed together…they burn like wildfire.” Ted Booth lives on Fraser Road and noticed the first grass fire burning across the street from his house. “We saw a great deal of smoke and flames— flames were actually going into the neighbour’s yard,” said Booth. Booth and another Fraser Road resident grabbed their garden hoses and soaked the first blaze in an attempt to contain it until crews arrived. Roelofs said this action proved to be hugely beneficial. “There was a very large tree right beside it, that was obviously a concern for us if it got into that tree. We owe them a

Booth said he also saw the third fire moments after it was ignited. He didn’t notice any possible

culprits during either of the fires. The Rutland resident sounded frustrated as he speculated who might have caused the flames. “It’s just some idiot, somebody who is ob-

viously trying to make a lot of trouble. It was very brazen—fire crews were still here when he lit the (third) fire.” Roelofs said it’s important for witnesses of all suspicious fires to share

any information they have with Mounties. “If you see something suspicious, especially if there is a fire, be sure to contact the RCMP.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Police respond to potential robbery, arrest for drugs Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

WADE PATERSON/CAPITAL NEWS

POLICE respond to reports of a possible robbery at an Esso gas station Monday in Kelowna but that turned out not to be the case.

Two men were handcuffed and put into police vehicles while Mounties investigated the scene. According to Gauthier, police officers recovered a small amount of an illicit chemical on one of the men and that was why he as arrested. The other man was expected to be released without charge.

The man who entered the gas station was wearing baggy clothing and Gauthier suggested that might have led to heightened suspicion. “Because of the way he was dressed and whatnot, (it) made it a bit more suspicious—not that we profile or anything like that, but to the complainant, it seemed a little odd

and suspicious. “It basically turned out to be a high priority call, which ended up being a misunderstanding,” said Gauthier “Due to the fact we responded the way we did, things (the illicit chemical) were located. Those are being dealt with accordingly.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

NEWS ▼ KGH

Art in maternity ward Barry Gerding EDITOR

Carly and Josh Barnett have spent some time around the maternity ward at Kelowna General Hospital. They have welcomed two young children into the world, Elizabeth born in December 2010 and Margaret in May of this year. One thing the couple noticed from their experience at KGH was that the walls in the maternity ward were lacking in any life or fun. So the Barnetts, who operate a home-based wedding and baby portrait photography business in Kelowna, decided they could do something about it. A call to the hospital KGH Foundation gift planning coordinator Diane Paterson led to discussions, which have evolved into the donation of 20 black and white framed baby portrait prints that now adorn the mater-

nity ward walls. “Our two baby birth experiences were very different, said Carly Barnett. “Ellie was a C-section and Margaret was a natural birth. But something both had in common was the wonderful care we received from KGH and its incredible staff of doctors and nurses.” After looking over several photograph options and final approval on the chosen 20 by the KGH art committee, all were professionally framed and matted. “Knowing this would not be a cheap donation, we decided to do some promotions ourselves to help fund the project,” Carly said. “We are excited to have the babies that were included for the art installation, which included a photo of our own girls.” The Barnetts also extended compliments to Black & McDonald for providing the installation service. “They did a fantas-

tic job working with us to determine the appropriate location for each photograph.” Carly hopes that future parents will take some joy from the artwork as part of the celebration to welcome new life to the world. “Our hope is that the artwork creates a sense of beauty that is having a new life enter this world,” Carly said. “Something fresh and new. Someone who needs you. A great responsibility, but also a great, great big joy.” Josh said the couple opted for black and white rather than colour photo treatments because of its timeless look and easy adaptability should the maternity ward be moved or upgraded within KGH. “They will always look good no matter what colour scheme or what part of the building the maternity ward may be moved to in the years to come,” he said. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

▼ KELOWNA LANDFILL

Dump fire gives crews a challenge Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

It took crews three hours and more than 4,000

gallons of water to douse a fire at the Glenmore Landfill Sunday evening. Crews responded to the dump fire around 5:15 p.m. and used approximately 100 times more water than what is needed to put out an average house fire. Platoon Captain Henry Roelofs said it is challenging to snuff out landfill fires. “They’re kind of difficult to get out because it will burn down and there

almost isn’t a bottom to it,” said Roelofs. “The trick is to get everything as soaked down as possible so it doesn’t reignite.” Roelofs added it is nearly impossible to determine the cause of any fire that starts at a landfill. “Where the fire came from, nobody will ever know because it’s in a pile of garbage,” said Roelofs. “The real likelihood is that somebody put something in their garbage

that wasn’t maybe (extinguished)…it happens every now and then.” Glenmore Landfill drivers assisted fire crews by moving the garbage around so crews could get water to all hot spots. Roelofs said landfill users should use extra caution to make sure all garbage, especially smoking materials, are completely extinguished before they are taken to the dump. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Lake Country concerned about ambulance times Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

Lengthy waiting times for ambulances in a few serious health incidents has officials in Lake Country asking its residents to watch out for their neighbours as the number of emergency calls increase, perhaps due to the region’s aging population. Three separate lifethreatening incidents in the past several months saw residents wait nearly an hour before an ambulance arrived. Two of those incidents were heart attacks and a third was an industrial accident. “They were considered life-threatening and the first ambulances weren’t on the scene for 50 minutes,” said Lake Country fire chief Steve Windsor. “That seems more and more common. As B.C. Ambulance gets busier, we get busier and we are also seeing more out of town ambulances responding to accidents. It also gets more difficult for our paid-on-call department to respond as people have to leave their jobs.” Windsor made the comments as part of his six-month report to council, which outlined what calls the fire department had responded to during that time period. He said B.C. Ambulance is stretched thin in the Okanagan Valley and that means the Lake Country Fire Department is often first on the scene. Complicating the matter is Lake Country’s aging population including residents who live in retirement housing like the Blue Heron or the Lake Country Lodge and other areas of Lake Country that are home to retirees. “These places have a lot of retired people and

THE

we’re finding more and more calls generated because of these institutions within Lake Country,” said Windsor. “As people get older they have more need for (ambulance) service and we are seeing our calls increase.” Despite what appeared to be a trend to longer wait times, B.C. Ambulance says the average wait time for calls in 2011-12 was only 13 minutes in Lake Country. Urgent call volume for the area was 486 events,

‘‘

ON LONG WEEKENDS IT’S ENTIRELY POSSIBLE (B.C. AMBULANCE) COULD BE STRETCHED THIN ENOUGH THAT THERE MAY NOT BE ANY COVERAGE. Coun Owen Dickie

an average of just over one call per day. There are 19 paramedics who staff the Lake Country station and one ambulance is available 24 hours per day, seven days a week with a second unit on during the day, according to B.C. Ambulance. “The B.C. Ambulance Service is dedicated to providing Lake Country residents with a responsive ambulance service,” said Kelsie Carwithen, manager of media relations for the B.C. Ambulance Service. “We recently added a dedicated helicopter air ambulance in Kamloops to serve the residents of the Interior including

Lake Country.” Despite that, several Lake Country councilors expressed concern with the high wait times at the three incidents. Coun. Owen Dickie urged Lake Country residents to be aware of the senior population in the area, noting that Lake Country has a much higher percentage of retirees than the Canadian average. According to his own research, Dickie said almost 24 per cent of the Lake Country population is over 55 and 13 per cent of the population is over 65. “That did concern me. Fifty minutes is quite awhile,” he said. “On long weekends it’s entirely possible (B.C. Ambulance) could be stretched thin enough that there may not be any coverage. “As a community, we need to be aware of older people living around us and be conscious on whether they are out and about.” With the B.C. Ambulance Service stretched thin, the first response falls to the Lake Country Fire Department. The department consists of the fire chief, two assistant fire chiefs, an emergency services clerk, some maintenance personnel and up to 65 paidon-call firefighters. “The Lake Country Fire Department does amazing work for the district and surrounding communities,” said Coun. Jamie McEwan. “But further provincial funding for ambulance service expansion seems necessary based on the report we had at our meeting. “I’m definitely concerned. It’s something we need to work towards improving in the long-run.

CONST. ROHEL WILLIAMS shows off the West Kelowna RCMP’s newest vessel to patrol Okanagan Lake.

▼ WEST KELOWNA RCMP

New cop boat better, faster, stronger Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

The West Kelowna RCMP’s newest boat will allow Mounties to do a lot more, and travel a lot quicker, on Okanagan Lake. Const. Rohel Williams, skipper of the new vessel, showed off some of its features in front of the West Kelowna detachment Friday. The rigid hull inflatable boat is much lighter than the smaller Zodiac it is replacing. It’s nearly 30 feet long and can hold 14 people. The old watercraft held six. “The hull is aluminum, the other one is fiberglass. They (use) this new technology called liquidmetal…it’s very light,” said Williams. “You can barely feel the water when you’re on it.”

ties on the water are responsible for patrolling the lake from Summerland to Vernon. They enforce Transport Canada regulations and noise control for the City of Kelowna. The skipper didn’t have statistics on how many noise violations have been dealt with this summer, but he mentioned this year has been much quieter than others. The boat wasn’t supposed to make its debut on the lake until 2013; however, licensing and paperwork was completed earlier than expected and the watercraft made its debut over the long weekend. According to Kelowna RCMP Const. Kris Clark, patrol of Okanagan Lake falls under the jurisdiction of the West Kelowna detachment. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

The watercraft is powered by dual 150 horsepower Yamaha fuel injectors and can achieve a top speed of nearly 100 km/h. Williams said that will come in handy when chasing down culprits. The old Zodiac would max out at 50 km/h, making it difficult for police to catch-up to other boats on the lake. “There are a ton of boats out there way faster than the ones we have. They know we can’t even come close to them when they’re on the lake. “This one may be close to (their speed).” A Raymarine chart plotter and depth sounder will help Mounties better navigate the lake as well.

UBCO record enrolment It is a full house at UBC Okanagan this fall. The evidence is apparent, as thousands of students arrive at the Kelowna campus today to participate in Create, the student orientation program that kicks off the new school year. Newcomers to UBCO will learn about the people, places, activities and resources as they explore their new university home and get the program-specific information they need to get started on their academic path. Classes start Wednesday and UBCO’s campus is at full enrollment with a record number of students registered for the 2012-13 winter session. The seven-year-old campus has reached capacity with 8,175 full-time enrollments. That is up from 7,932 last year. With the seven-year, $400-million campus construction phase now largely complete, UBCO embarks on a new era with a new chief steward at the helm of the Okanagan

campus. UBCO’s focus now shifts to building from within, said deputy vice -chancellor Deborah Buszard, who assumed the role in July. “The bricks and mortar are in place. Now our mission is to build from our academic foundation,” said Buszard. “We have hired new faculty, added new programs and compiled an enviable track record of research. We are strengthening our expertise to provide students with the best education possible. “Universities are the cornerstone organizations of society, defining our future. Our academic ambition is to create a culture of people learning to become achievers in society. UBCO’s campus is a great place for our students and faculty members to make an impact through their work and to excel at being the very best that we can.” Buszard said among her goals are ensuring students have full access to scholarships and bursar-

ies and faculty gain every advantage in obtaining research grants and awards. “It is important that people have the opportunity to achieve their ambitions by having the resources that are vital to their success and make sure there are no barriers to help us achieve.” Fred Vogt, deputy registrar, said the enrollment growth at the Okanagan campus reflects the strong reputation the university has achieved over the past seven years. “Year over year, UBC’s Okanagan campus has become the university of choice for more students,” said Vogt. Among the 7,472 undergraduates, there are 1,901 first-year, new-toUBC students. The overall student population of 8,175 includes 703 graduate students. There are now a total of 684 international students, including 541 international undergraduate students, representing 81 countries.

Rutland porch fires not related Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Although two Rutland porch fires in three days seem to be very similar, Kelowna Fire Department officials are saying the blazes are “definitely not related.” Kelowna Fire Department crews responded to a report of a front porch on fire at 145 Briarwood Road Friday afternoon. Three engines and a

total of 16 personnel were able to contain the fastmoving fire to the front porch area, saving the multi-family home. A second porch fire occurred two days later at 456 Hein Road, less than a kilometre west of the Briarwood Road blaze. In both cases occupants were home at the time of the fires. Six residents and three cats escaped unharmed in the Briarwood Road blaze,

while five residents, a cat and a dog avoided injury in the Hein Road blaze. Platoon Captain Henry Roelofs said an investigation was done on both fires.

For many, the 1972 Summit Series is etched in memory A s we celebrated another Labour Day and contemplated an autumn without NHL hockey, perhaps, for some of us, the 40th anniversary of the start of the 1972 Canada-Russia hockey series slipped by unnoticed. Yeah, yeah, I know, old farts like me seem obsessed with 1972 and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the big deal it was just another hockey series and who ever came up with the dumb idea of an eight-game series and who the heck was Paul Henderson and did Gretzky play in that one and who cares about anything that ancient and did they even have television back then, anyway?

It was the first time the best players from the Soviet Union challenged the best from Canada (or most of them, anyway). And though nobody really knew it at the time, the Summit Series became an anchor-point for Canadian hockey. The prior generation had the Richard riot in Montreal to point back at, and maybe todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s younger generation will have Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 Olympic Gold medal game as their â&#x20AC;&#x153;where were you then?â&#x20AC;? moment, but for millions of Canadians roughly

A lot has changed in 40 years, and those latter habits would just about doom the Canadians against the hard-asnails (or so they seemed) Soviets. Game 1 of the series was played Sept. 2, 1972 in the old Forum in Montreal.

A two-week break and the departure of three Canadian players only gave more time for the national hand-wringing to escalate. For me, the final four games at the Luzhniki Ice Palace in Moscow have become a bit of a grainy blur. I can still picture Esposito slipping and landing on his behind during the pre-game introductions before game 5. Aside from that, I mostly remember the emotions, the desperation especially after Canada lost that game 5. Down 3-1 in the series, the Canadiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; task seemed truly impossible and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall anyone thinking we had a chanceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;this was quite a drastic turnaround from many pre-series predictions that the Soviets wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win a single match.

emotions as Canada won game two, tied game three and then self-destructed in game four and were booed off the ice. I have a vague recollection of Phil Espositoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outburst on live television after that game. The words I remember most from Espo that day were, â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Śeveryone of us guys, 35 guys that came out and played for Team Canada, we did it because we love our country, and not for any other reason, no other reason.â&#x20AC;ŚAnd I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair that we should be booed.â&#x20AC;? Well said, Phil. If that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell you something about Canadian athletic pride, perhaps nothing will. It was at that point, after game 4, that I think many people first understood what the Canadian players were up against. Unprepared, overconfident, missing key cogs like Bobby Orr (injury) and, most blatantly, Bobby Hull, Gerry Cheevers, Derek Sanderson, and J.C. Tremblay (all unfairly excluded because they had signed with the

end and someone had a portable black and white television with an antenna which, in those days, probably picked up only three channelsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;CBC English, CBC French, and CTV. The series was of low enough importance to me (not yet having turned 11) that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even bother to watch the first game, though I think I did hear the Soviet anthem for the first time (and it still sends a chill up my spine when I hear it, today). I have two recollections of that first game. Someone yelled that Canada had scored after 30 seconds and then again a few minutes later. Content that the universe was unfolding as it should, I went back to doing what kids at campgrounds do. My second memory is of learning that Team Canada had lost 7-3 and of my utter confusion at that result. Maybe this thing wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to be all fun and games after all. As the series moved westward towards the outpost of Vancouver, I recall a roller coaster of

But, in what is still engrained in my memory as the grittiest, dirtiest, most emotional hockey of my lifetime, the Canadians came back. You couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call it â&#x20AC;&#x153;stormingâ&#x20AC;? back, because each game was won in a dogfight by a single goal (scored, each time, by Paul Henderson). It was high drama by game 6, when Bobby Clarke neutralized the Sovietsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best player, Valeri Kharlomov, with a slash to break his ankle. Game 7 was punctuated by the Soviet player, Boris Mikhailov, kicking Canadian Gary Bergman. My foggy recollection is that my class watched the pivotal game 8, on Sept. 28, in my classroom. It may have been the fact that our teacher was the school principal that allowed us this perk. Unfortunately, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about all I recall. The rest of what I now think of game 8 comes, surely, from having seen highlights, retrospective documentaries, photographs, and multiple books. The game was tied 2-2 after one period, but Canada was down 5-3 after two. Behind the eight ball once again, Esposito and Yvan Cournoyer scored to tie it up as the Soviets fell into a defensive shell. With but 34 seconds to go, Henderson was there, again, to bang in the most famous goal that will ever be scored by a Canadian hockey player. And if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never heard Foster Hewittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call of that deciding goal, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been living in a cave for the last 40 years. My theory is that the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;adversityâ&#x20AC;? entered the Canadian hockey lexicon during that time in September, 1972. Nowadays, every successful hockey team, from the pro ranks right down to atom level, talks about having to â&#x20AC;&#x153;overcome adversityâ&#x20AC;? on the way to winning. September 1972 stamped on Canadian hockey players this quality that, after weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced our worst, we will achieve our best. It originated with Esposito, Henderson, Cournoyer, Dryden and Clarke and it resides geneticallyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; whether they know it or notâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in the mind of every Canadian boy and girl who laces up skates and picks up a stick and a puck. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes us the best at what we do, and we owe it all to 1972. Robert Smithson is a Kelowna lawyer. www.smithsonlaw.ca

Helping ease cancer symptoms

t is estimated that 40 per cent of Canadians will develop cancer in their lifetime. But the good news is that survival rates are improving thanks to improvements in cancer screening and cancer treatment. Cancer is not a death sentence, but it is a lifechanging experience. Treatment for cancer falls into three categories—primary treatment, adjuvant therapy and palliative care. The goal of primary treatment is to remove the cancer from the body or kill the cancer cells. The most common primary cancer treatment is surgery, but radiation therapy or chemotherapy may also be used if the type of cancer is particularly sensitive to them. The goal of adjuvant therapy is to kill any cancer cells that may remain after primary treatment. Common adjuvant therapies include chemotherapy, radiation therapy and hormone therapy. The goal of palliative care is to decrease pain and help maintain quality of life during and after cancer treatment. Palliative treatments aim to help relieve the side effects of both the cancer and its treatment.

there is a need to manage these symptoms, keep the body and the spirits strong, and maintain quality of life. Acupuncture can be a very useful tool in this regard. Studies have shown that acupuncture can be effective in the treatment of many cancer symptoms, including generalized pain, muscle and joint pain, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and can help to boost the immune system. Strengthening the immune system and the body with acupuncture can help a person undergoing cancer treatments to experience fewer negative symptoms and to bounce back more quickly from a course of chemotherapy or radiation treatments, something that is very important in the recovery process. In addition, dealing with the pain associated with cancer can be an extremely difficult part of a patient’s experience, and acupuncture thankfully can effectively help to relieve this pain and relieve a great deal of the day-today discomfort. Fatigue and depression are also common symptoms that respond positively to acupuncture, allowing a person to func-

NEEDLE NOTES

James Kaufman Acupuncture in the treatment of cancer falls into the category of palliative care. Acupuncture can be an effective complementary therapy when used with conventional cancer treatments. The purpose of acupuncture treatments is not to treat the cancer itself but rather to help a person cope with cancer, its treatment or side effects, and to feel better. There are many general symptoms associated cancer, including fatigue, digestive problems, and pain. Treatments also create symptoms—chemotherapy and radiation are very powerful treatments that target cancer cells but can also damage healthy cells in the body and weaken the immune system, and can leave a person with symptoms of fatigue, nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal disturbances, and skin irritation. For many people dealing with cancer treatment,

tion better, have a better quality of life, and better maintain a healthy routine while undergoing cancer treatments. By relieving nausea and digestive upset, acupuncture can also help to restore appetite and prevent weight loss that often occurs during cancer treatments. To benefit from acupuncture during cancer treatment, it is recommended to schedule regular appointments during the course of cancer treatments while symptoms are being experienced. Typically treatments will be scheduled on a weekly basis in order to keep symptoms in check and strengthen the body. Acupuncture can also be used between courses of chemotherapy or radiation treatment to build the immune system, aid the body in recovery and strengthen it in preparation for the next course of treatment. All in all, acupuncture is a very powerful tool in the treatment of cancer and can dramatically improve quality of life.

Public urged to become bear aware It’s time visitors to local regional parks beef up their bear awareness. With spawning salmon and ripening fruit across the Central Okanagan, evidence of bear activity is increasing as the bruins move down into the valley from the higher elevations in search of food. The signs that bears

are more frequent visitors are occurring in Mission Creek Regional Park, along the Mission Creek Greenway, in Mill Creek Regional Park and in Woodhaven Nature Conservancy Regional Park. They’re also known to frequent other more natural regional parks like Kalamoir, Glen Canyon,

Rose Valley, Cedar Mountain and Bertram Creek. “This is the time of year that we start seeing more bears in some of our regional parks,” said CORD’s Bruce Smith. “As reports of bears increase, signs are posted advising all park users that the animals may be active in the area.”

To reduce your chance of encountering a bear, you should travel in a group, make noise or carry something that makes noise. During fall fish spawning season, it’s not unusual for park visitors to encounter bears along local creeks and rivers, as kokanee are a plentiful source of food.

Think where your butt’s going

hile it would be unfair to label all smokers as fire starters, there has been an alarming number of small grass fires lately. And the sight of smokers flicking cigarette butts out the windows of moving vehicles here is still not uncommon. Combine such idiotic behaviour with the current dry conditions and you have the recipe for potential disaster. We recently marked the ninth anniversary of the Kelowna Mountain Park Wildfire, a blaze that swept through Kelowna’s

south Mission area in 2003, incinerating 238 homes. That fire was not started by humans—it was lightning caused—but it did raise awareness about the threat of wildfire here and for a while, seemed to prompt us all to take precautions. But despite smaller, yet still damaging, wildfires on the west side of the lake since then, time appears to have blunted the awareness we all need when we live in a city surrounded by forests. It’s not a stretch to think that someone who would throw a

burning cigarette butt out the window of a moving car on Harvey Avenue would also do it on the more rural Lakeshore Road in the Mission, Glenrosa Road in West Kelowna, the portion of Highway 97 that passes through Lake Country or any other road in this area that has trees or grass running alongside. If people choose to smoke, that’s there business–until it starts affecting others. Using the Central Okanagan’s landscape as a personal ashtray does affect others and should not be tolerated.

Flicking a burning cigarette into a ditch with dry grass may happen in a moment for a driver who is just passing through, but the damage that could result long after the driver is gone could take much needed resources and money to deal with, not to mention spark into a larger fire that could spread and threaten lives and property. So if you smoke while driving, go ahead—inhale all you want. Just deal with the butt in a responsible manner by disposing of it inside the vehicle, not outside.

Whatever your opinion, refinery idea advances debate

was as surprised as anyone to hear about the plan by this newspaper’s owner, David Black, to begin regulatory work on an oil refinery for Kitimat. I’ll leave it to others to comment on the practicality of that plan, and whether it would make the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline project more acceptable to B.C.’s government and population. Black Press news coverage, columns, letters to the editor and other reader comments are not affected by this project, and there has been a range of views expressed already. Whatever the merits of the refinery idea, it has advanced the de-

bate over pipelines and the place of oil in our society. And that’s a good thing, because as someone with a basic knowledge of chemistry and some experience in oil refining, I have noticed a lot of ignorance about the subject. Today I’d like to address some of the main misconceptions, which have been exploited by some opponents. The first one is oil pollution in general and how it gets into the environment. A global study by the Smithsonian

VICTORIA Institution in 1995 calVIEWS culated the amount of

oil making its way into oceans this way: Big tanker spills accounted for 37 million gallons a year, about five per cent Tom of the total marine oil Fletcher pollution identified. By far the largest source was oil runoff from land into drains, from oil changes, municipal and industrial wastes and other sources: 363 million gallons. Bilge cleaning and other routine ship maintenance added 137 million gallons, four times the tanker spill average.

Air pollution from vehicles and industry deposited hydrocarbon particles equal to another 97 million gallons; natural seeps added 62 million gallons; offshore drilling discharges accounted for 15 million gallons. So that’s the first thing to understand. It’s not tankers and pipelines doing most of the polluting. It’s you and me. Then there is the propaganda about greenhouse gas emissions from the oil sands crude. Actor Robert Redford is one of the highest-profile pitchmen for the false notion that “tar sands” oil generates three times the greenhouse gases as conventional oil. The facts are clear. The most

widely cited source is a graph prepared by Cambridge Energy Research Associates, which shows that 75 per cent of greenhouse gases from all types of crude occur when the gasoline, jet fuel and diesel are burned by the end user. Yes, there are variations in emissions on the remaining quarter. Emissions from mined oil sands crude are slightly higher than steam extraction, which is slightly higher than conventionally drilled and pumped crude. The most greenhouse gas-intensive crude used in North America is California heavy crude, which is conven-

Water rates too high in West Kelowna To the editor: Let’s discuss water and the water rate structure. We all know that water is a very precious commodity. We, the humans, animals and plants, require a certain amount of water on a steady basis in order to survive. The residents of Lakeview Heights were provided with water by the Lakeview Irrigation District. This was a cooperative where we were all part owners of this entity that was well managed, well run and financially sound for more than 60 years of its existence. Upon the formation of the new municipality District of West Kelowna, the administration, with the blessing of our bureaucrats in Victoria, arbitrarily took over the water district without us, the co-owners of LID, having any opportunity to express our opinion on the matter. Over the years our LID had continuously upgraded and enlarged the water storage capacity and maintained the pipeline system. Furthermore, our irrigation district had more than $1 million in the bank, as a contingency fund, should the need for a certain upgrade or repair to the system arise. The hostile takeover of out LID was orchestrated by the council of the District of West Kelowna and its bureaucratic establishment in order to create a cash cow. After the creation of the new municipality we were instantly introduced to a metering system with an escalated price structure per cubic metre. I live on Boucherie Road on a 1.1-acre parcel of land. This land has been used to grow fruits and vegetables for more than 60 years. At this time I am using one third less water per acre of land than the amount which was recommended by LID, in the 1950s, to grow

fruit. I was born and raised on a farm 67 years ago and have continued to operate a hobby farm to this day. However, my water charge has skyrocketed by more than 250 per cent from $295.14 per year to $1,037.07 annually. Yes, there are a number of steps that can be taken in order to reduce the water requirement in the area, many of which I have instituted over the years. Already, 35 years ago, I have planted deep-rooting trees in the front yard so that they are less susceptible to the drought conditions in the summers. My grapes are being watered by drip irrigation that is being turned on for three watering cycles per year only. The grassy area receives minimum watering to keep it in a green/brown condition. However, my fruit trees and vegetable garden do require a regular amount of water to size and ripen the crop. At the time of landscaping of another parcel on Industrial Road, I sought the advice local horticultural experts to learn which shrubs will survive our summers with less watering. Now I water that landscaped area by one or two watering cycles per year only. What is needed in this case is a tagging system of plants, at the nurseries, that will inform the consumers which plants are native to the area and what minimum amount of water will keep them alive once they are established. Perhaps this is a project that the Okanagan Water Basin Board could undertake. We have all moved here, because of our local climate, the proximity to lakes and mountains and the green appearance that has been created by the farmers in the area. All these factors are basic components for our

tourism industry that is nicely creating local jobs. Another major positive factor for the area is the clean air, rich with oxygen that can only be created by green plants. Being that all humans, regardless of they are farmers or bureaucrats, breath the fresh air, the people living on small parcels or in apartments should also pay their fair share of the water costs for enjoying the local living conditions, much the same as we all pay the sunshine tax for living in the Okanagan. Remember that plants and trees do not flourish because of water alone. There is a lot of work required to grow and maintain healthy trees such as planting, pruning, thinning, spraying, picking and shipping to complete the cycle. I am very concerned that we all pay for water fairly, including horse farmers and breeders. Being that today nobody consumes horse meat as a food staple and we no longer use horses for transporting our freight and providing transportation, I therefore consider horses only as pets or a status symbol. Why then should the other local citizens be subsidizing horse farmers for their lifestyle and supplying them with water at a farmer’s rate? I sincerely hope that yet another water study, which is being done at this moment by our municipality, is being done by somebody who has lived on and worked the land as their profession. May this be a warning to all citizens of the Westside that we are witnessing the creation of yet another bureaucratic monster, a municipality that provides well-paying jobs to many bureaucrats—at taxpayers’ expense.

If opposed to dogs, why picnic at city’s only dog beach? To the editor: I’d like to comment on the two recent letters about dogs that appeared Aug. 23. Dogs are not permitted in Gyro Beach Park, and by now all dog owners should know that. It’s a pity there are still people who do not come prepared with doggy bags to pick up (feces). Biodegradable doggy poop bags are now sold in all pet supply stores and in

big box stores. So there is no excuse. As to why people have broken the bylaw and have taken their dogs to Gyro Beach, or other downtown beaches, I can offer a couple of possible explanations—hot weather and only one dog beach in Kelowna—Cedar Creek off-leash dog park at the southern tip of the city. Which brings me to the person who objected

to off-leash dogs at Cedar Creek. Why go to the only dog beach in town for a picnic? Is it not enough that all but one waterfront park are available to you? Cedar Creek Park is a bit of a drive for me, but whenever I’ve taken my little dog there, people and their dogs are pretty much focused on the lake, retrieving water toys. Dogs may approach other dogs sometimes,

but water is the main attraction. Dog deposits are, admittedly, a problem at Cedar Creek Park. It does not help that there are only four poop bag dispensers, and very little signage to remind people to pick up. I know that requests for more dispensers and signs were made to parks department but it appears that money is hard to find for that.

There are very few dog owners who do not clean up after their dogs, yet all dog owners are blamed. We try to lead by example, cleaning up poop, but it is a slow learning curve for those who choose to not stoop and scoop. That is the area where enforcement of the bylaw would help.

tionally drilled. Burning coal produces far more greenhouse gases than oil, as University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver has calculated. Two U.S. environmental groups, including the one fronted by Redford, have lately been promoting a study that suggests oil sands crude is more corrosive to pipe-

lines. False, says the industry, showing analysis of pipes that have carried diluted bitumen for decades. The Trans-Mountain pipeline has been carrying crude from Alberta to Burnaby and Washington state for more than 60 years. It has periodically carried heavy crude for 40 years, and diluted bitumen for 25 years. Some of that crude is refined in Washing-

ton and the gasoline and diesel barged up to supply B.C. gas stations. And of course Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii and all other B.C. islands depend on marine fuel shipments. And let’s not forget the most common heavy oil used in B.C.—it’s called asphalt. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

e like to think of ourselves as living in a relatively equitable nation. People from all political stripes tend to boast about Canada’s ‘universal’ health care and see it as proof that we take care of our own. Of course, there are many critics of the way the system is run and in recent years there has been much discussion about reforms that will be needed to bolster and ensure its sustainability in the coming decades. The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) recently released results of a poll showing a worrisome correlation between income and health status in our country that raises even more red flags. According to Canada’s physicians, in spite of our reputation for ‘universal’ health care, there is a widening gap in health status separating people according to their income. The poll results, used in the CMA’s 2012 Na-

HEALING MINDS

Paul Latimer tional Report Card on Canada’s health care system, found that only 39 per cent of respondents earning less than $30,000 per year described their health as excellent or very good, compared with 68 per cent of those earning $60,000 or more. Further, 59 per cent of those earning less than $30,000 had accessed some form of health care within the past month compared with 43 per cent of those earning a higher income. Perhaps poor health has left some Canadians underemployed and thus earning lower incomes; perhaps socioeconomic factors such as housing or nutrition are negatively impacting the health of lower income Canadians; or perhaps those in the

lower income bracket are facing health care barriers because of a lack of affordability. As good as it may be, Canada’s system is far from universal in some areas. Prescription medications are a good example of an important aspect of health care that can be greatly impacted by income.

‘‘ PERHAPS POOR HEALTH HAS LEFT SOME CANADIANS UNDEREMPLOYED.

Nearly a quarter of poll respondents in the lower income category had either delayed or stopped buying prescription drugs compared with only three perc ent of those earning $60,000 or more.

Another result in the poll found a sharp divide in tobacco use between income brackets with 33 per cent of those in the lower group reporting daily tobacco use compared with only 10 per cent in the higher income group. The poll also found a significant impact from the economic downturn seen in recent years. Nearly half of respondents in the lower income group reported they were spending less time, energy and money sustaining their health as the economy slowed. Only 19 per cent of those with higher incomes said the same. I join with my colleagues in pressing for transformation within our system so that the health and health care needs of all Canadians can be put first. Income should not determine health or access to necessary health services. Paul Latimer is a psychiatrist and president of Okanagan Clinical Trials.

New series to be a glimpse into entrepreneurial storytelling

ing Group in the Central Okanagan, the society’s second entrepreneurship TV series, entitled The Fire Within, the Entrepreneurial Spirit, which will be a broader approach to an earlier series of vignettes we broadcast a year or so ago and which was well received. We have realized that it is easy for all of us to become tremendously excited about the opportunity to, once again, introduce to our Shaw viewers, a number of the Okanagan entrepreneurial and small business owners, career professionals, leaders and executives who have battled through the tough times of transition and struggles in the workplace to ultimately find purpose, meaning and fulfillment in their entrepreneurial journey. Let’s face it, the entrepreneur’s journey is an exercise in storytelling. During the past five years in this column, I have strived to tell the Okanagan stories and have you share with me their personal tales of the roller coaster rides

College students selected for Deloitte’s national leadership conference Two Okanagan College students shrugged off their business suits to rub shoulders with top-level employees at the 2012 Deloitte National Leadership Conference recently. Okanagan School of Business students Amanda Blanchard and Ryan Davies were among 93 post-secondary students selected from thousands of applicants across Canada to take part in the allexpense paid conference, which took place August 22-24 at the Deerhurst Resort outside Toronto in Muskoka cottage country. “They told us not to bring any business attire —just bring your summer clothes,” laughed Davies, who, like Blanchard, is completing his bachelor of business administration degree with a specialty in accounting. “We spent the bulk of

the conference working on team building and networking. It gave me a really interesting perspective on my education and made me realize the big picture aspect of what I’m doing to advance my career.” The three-day conference is designed for accounting students who have demonstrated exceptional leadership qualities. Over the course of three days, student had the opportunity to network with Deloitte staff, experience team building, and receive leadership and negotiation skills. The students were selected based, in part, on their academic performance. Blanchard and Davies distinguished themselves in the last academic year competing in various events.

begin to tell their stories in the manner of which I speak today—a television series or this column. Most importantly, we have to get others to believe and become accepting of the entrepreneurial story we share. When we can do that, the need to persuade, convince or sell disappears. Storytelling, in this example, entrepreneurial storytelling is not a skill we learned in school. But, it’s the founda-

tion, in many ways, for everything within the entrepreneurial world. As I have found in my research of late, shameless plugs and self-promotion are healthy antidotes to the marketing journey, and as one Okanagan entrepreneur so succinctly put it: “My business venture may be small, but my story isn’t.” So, I am inviting you and your entrepreneurial associates to join me and our production crew

in identifying genuine Okanagan entrepreneurial stories that we can not only write about in this column but also share with the entire region in our The Fire Within television series. Production will begin at the end of September and I suspect we will have loads of fun together telling the stories and through such stories assist our local entrepreneurs become successful in their quest.

Thank you for your continuing support and appreciation.

Buy disability insurance before you need it

ou should purchase disability insurance before you need it. Once you become disabled, or are considered uninsurable, you cannot purchase disability insurance. Disability insurance replaces a portion of your employment income— approximately 60 per cent—if you are no longer able to work due to sickness or disability. Insurance companies are not willing to replace 100 per cent of your predisability income because there is little incentive to return to work while still receiving all of your salary. Chronic pain, cancer treatment, severe depression, broken bones, etc., are a few of the reasons you may not be able to work and are then eligible for disability insurance coverage. A doctor will verify the reason for your disability and complete the forms required by the insurance company for the disability claim. The financial conse...because we live here.

FISCAL FITNESS

Doreen Smith quences of a disability can be devastating. In the event of a disability and you cannot meet your financial obligations, for example rent or mortgage payment, utilities, food costs, you may quickly end up needing money to pay your day-to-day expenses. Where will this money come from? Short-term and longterm disability insurance covers two different time periods. Short-term disability coverage typically covers the first 120 days of a disability. Long-term covers the period of disability after 120 days. Premiums are based on many different factors including, age, sex, coverage amount required, elimination period and the

benefit period. The shorter the benefit period (an example is choosing a plan that covers a five-year benefit period verses payable to age 65) will lower the premium.

‘‘

MORTGAGE INSURANCE DISABILITY INSURANCE IS OWNED BY THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION AND IS NOT OWNED AND CONTROLLED BY YOU.

The longer the elimination period, depending on the disability plan, (the elimination period can start at day one and go up to 120 days), the lower the premium cost. Understand the difference between “your own occupation” or “any occupation.” If you want to

protect yourself based on your own job classification, purchase “own-occ” coverage. Any occupation class means you may be requested to find employment for other types of work. Insurance companies can request a training program to try and get the person back to work in another occupation. Make sure your policy cannot be cancelled. Mortgage insurance disability insurance is owned by the financial institution and is not owned and controlled by you. You are paying the premiums for this coverage so ensure you purchase a non-cancellable type of disability insurance, instead of a cancellable type. You can purchase riders on disability insurance to include cost-of-living adjustments so your coverage amount can be increased in future years without having to prove health insurability. Disability insurance can be purchased under group coverage, as an individual disability plan or as business coverage. Make sure you read the fine print on your policy and if you have questions, ensure it is explained so you understand what you are buying. We pay monthly or annual insurance premiums for our vehicle and our homes. We purchase life insurance to pay out upon our untimely death. However, many individuals do not purchase disability insurance to insure and protect their earning power. You are more likely to suffer from a disability during your working years than die. Nearly one out of three workers will suffer a disability lasting three months or more at some point in their career. Disability can continue for days, months— sometimes years—and can consume a lifetime of a person’s earning power. Personal finance isn’t just about growing your finances, it’s also about protecting what you have. Disability insurance provides you with the income you need while disabled and you are unable to earn your employment income.

Bell armed and ready for season â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expecting some big things out of Myles Bell,â&#x20AC;? asst. coach Dan Lambert. Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

DOUGLAS FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR

DEFENCEMAN Myles Bell is entering his fourth season in the WHL and second with the Rockets.

With a quick, hard and accurate shot from the point, Myles Bell was one of the Kelowna Rocketsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most dangerous offensive weapons during the 201112 Western Hockey League campaign. Add in an extra year of experience, a summer of hard work, and a clean bill of health, and the Rocketsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coaching staff expects the Calgary-born rearguard will cast even more fear into opposing goalies this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come into camp in absolute great shape,â&#x20AC;? said Kelowna assistant coach Dan Lambert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my opinion he looks really good and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skating very well. So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expecting some big things out of Myles Bell, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a guy who can do some great things offensively for us. He has a better shot than a

Myles Bell lot of pros do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice kid who wants to get better and with how hard he worked this summer definitely shows that.â&#x20AC;? With the departure of Tyson Barrie to the pro ranks last September, the Rockets acquired Bell from the Regina Pats to address some offensive needs along the blue line. Despite missing 18 games with injury, the 6-foot 202-pound defenceman

responded with 15 goals and 41 points. Now fully healthy, fully comfortable in Rockets colours, and in the best shape of his life, Bell hopes to push his game to another level in 2012-13. And as much heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to be even more productive offensively, Bell insists teams goals are first and foremost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winningâ&#x20AC;Świnning is No 1,â&#x20AC;? Bell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If points come, they come,

thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great. If they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still winning it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter to me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a pretty good summer, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to doing whatever I can to help the team.â&#x20AC;? While the Rockets are confident Bell will deliver the goods offensively this season, the club is pushing the Calgary product to tighten up the defensive side of his game. With the proper work and attention, Dan Lambert expects Bellâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;who was -18 last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; will make that happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Defensively, I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be some good things coming,â&#x20AC;? Lambert said of Bellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play in his own end of the rink. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got some work to do. But as long as he commits to it, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a strong man that can skate very well, so heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capable of playing some very good D for us.â&#x20AC;? Just days past his 19th birthday, Bell is by no means a grizzled veteran of the hockey wars. But now in his fourth

â&#x2013;ź EXHIBITION

Rockets home game in WHL pre-season After a pair of exhibition games on the weekend, the Kelowna Rockets began their first full week of practice on Monday as the team was back on the ice at Prospera Place. The Rockets split two games with Vancouver to open the Western Hockey League preseason, losing 3-2 in a shootout on Saturday in Kelowna after beating the Giants 4-3 on Fri-

day night. Both games saw the Rockets dress a team full of newcomers and prospects as well as a few veteran players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it was a typical of exhibition hockey,â&#x20AC;? said Rockets director of player personnel Lorne Frey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our young guys have to get their feet wet and that is what this past weekend was all about. Now

we have to get our veteran players in the lineup and we will have to make some decisions with a few players on what is best for us and and what is best for them.â&#x20AC;? The Rockets will play another home-and-home set this coming weekend as Kelowna will play Victoria twice, meeting the Royals in Maple Ridge on Friday before hosting Vic-

toria on Saturday. Frey said the week of practice will be good for the players as the team heads for the start of the WHL regular season Sept. 21. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had any practice time at all with this group,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we have to get down to a workable number and our coaches will start putting things

together and start working on game situations that they will have to deal with. Now we have to just keep getting better as we go along.â&#x20AC;? Frey said second year defencemen Madison Bowey and Jesse Lees as well as goalie Jordon Cooke had solid weekends. Cooke played both exhibition games in the Rockets net.

Falcons’ Cockrell pitcher of year

KRISTY BARRETT/CONTRIBUTOR

KELOWNA FALCONS’ Cord Cockrell is the WCL pitcher of the year.

Kelowna Falcons’ right-hander Cord Cockrell has been named winner of the West Coast League’s Pitcher of the Year award. Cockrell tied the WCL single season record for wins with his 7-3 record. He finished with a 2.30 ERA, the lowest of any starter with more than 10 starts this season. The sophomore-to-be at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette appeared in 14 games, had a teamhigh 11 starts and threw one complete game. His 70.1 innings pitched were the second most in the WCL while his 32 strikeouts were third most on the Falcons staff. Cockrell picked up two wins over the Bellingham Bells and single wins against Kitsap, Walla Walla, Bend, Corvallis and the only win against the Klamath Falls Gems. “I wasn’t totally sure

season in the WHL, and on a team where at least 80 per cent of the roster was born after him, Bell is expecting to assume a much more active leadership role. “I definitely feel old,” Bell said with a laugh. “The young guys keep reminding me.” “Hopefully I’m somebody our younger guys can look up to this year. It was a little different coming into a new team last

season. It’s hard to be vocal, especially with the voices we had in the room already. So last year I just quietly did my thing, this year I think it’ll be a different story.” And while the Rockets would like Bell’s voice to be heard more often around the dressing room, Lambert said it’s equally important for his play to do the talking. “Hopefully he’ll lead by example and that’s what a lot of good players do,” Lambert said. “They

let their work and everything else do the talking. Myles is very capable of leading that way.” And for Bell’s part, he’s never looked forward to a hockey season more than the 2012-13 edition with the Kelowna Rockets. “Last year coming in right the end of training

camp, it was kind of hard to get excited, not knowing the guys and everything,” he said. “I’m definitely more excited coming in this year, than I was even my first two years in Regina. I know we have a good team here and there’s going to be lots of wins to follow.” whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

well. I’m very happy for him, it’s much deserved.” Cockrell is eligible to return to the Falcons in 2013. It’s the second time in three years a pitcher under the tutelage of pitching coach Lloyd Gage has won this award. In 2010 Dayne Quist was honoured. Quist is

now working through the Tampa Bay Rays organization. In other Falcons news, five players were named to the All-WCL teams. Kyle Pearson, Cockrell and Brandon Marris were named to the first team AllWCL, while Jerry McClanahan and Jace Conrad were named to the second team All-WCL squad.

A close-knit group with good team speed. That’s how Rylan Ferster describes the 201213 edition of his West Kelowna Warriors. The B.C. Hockey League club will open the new campaign this weekend in Chilliwack at the league’s first ever showcase tournament. The Warriors will battle Surrey on Saturday and Salmon Arm on Sunday to open the new campaign. With a full season now behind him as the club’s head coach and GM, Ferster has a better sense of the Warriors’ identity and what to expect each time they take to the ice. “It was tough coming in here last year, being new and not being familiar with a lot of the kids,” said Ferster, whose Warriors fi-

nished sixth in the Interior Division and missed the playoffs last season. “But this year, there are no excuses. They know me and I know them and we’re on the same page when it comes to what we want to accomplish. Our staff has done a really good job of getting us ready. We’re excited to get started.” Ferster’s club is coming off a promising exhibition schedule as the Warriors posted a 2-1-1 record. On Friday night, Brett McKinnon’s dramatic buzzer beater with .1 second left in the third period gave the Warriors a 5-4 win over the Wenatchee Wild at Royal LePage Place. The game featured a first-period line brawl, a melee Ferster said will likely result in a couple of suspensions. A night earlier, the Warriors knocked off the

defending national champion Penticton Vees 4-3. Ferster said both wins displayed a level of character that wasn’t prevalent on last year’s squad. “We had a 3-0 lead against Penticton and blew it, but we were still able to get the win. Against Wenatchee we scored late to get the win. There’s a fine line between winning and losing and I think last year those are games we would have lost. Last year we found ways to lose. Hopefully this is a positive sign we’ll be a different team in that way.” Ferster said the Warriors will be led into battle by a solid corps of veterans this season, including captain Max French, Josh Monk, Shawn Hochhausen and Brett McKinnon. The Warriors home opener is Friday, Sept. 14 against Penticton.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen summer endings With only a few more weeks until summer’s officially over, but with fairly long days still, take the opportunity to enjoy getting together with friends and family for a relaxing evening on the patio or around the barbecue, before it’s packed up for the season. Since we now have a number of seafood stores full of in-season, fresh fish from what advanced transportation has made ‘nearby’ seashores, take advantage of what they have to offer, including local, hand-peeled shrimp from the Pacific coast of B.C. These little morsels are delicate in flavour and have a firm texture for creating a compelling appetizer or salad, so let your imagination run wild with them. At this time of year there’s a bounty of fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs that can be overwhelming when it comes to deciding which to select for a meal. It’s enough to turn a person to canning, drying, freezing or to making herb-flavoured vinegars and oils to preserve that full flavour for when winter’s swirling snowflakes around the barren garden. That was also the feeling of a group of four junior chefs from across Canada who recently spent two weeks here working with local chefs and learning a bit about working with the freshest possible raw materials— often from the kitchen garden just outside the restaurant! That was a revelation for these young chefs working in Toronto and Lethbridge, Muskoka and Regina, but who were determined to return home and plant gardens after their visit. To celebrate their experience here, they spent a day on the farm of the Djordjevich family in Kelowna, surrounded by fresh tomatoes, eggplants, squashes, cucumbers, plums, apricots, grapes, beans and greens, with permission to help themselves in creating an outdoor feast for their local hosts, including an ingredient they’d brought from their culinary region. With red lentils, maple syrup, mustard and sunflower seeds from across the country, local chicken and wild boar and trout, they put together a feast for all senses and served it amongst the fruit trees, vegetables and vines on the farm. I’m thinking that Melanie, Candice, Kimberley and Ryan won’t soon forget their Okanagan experience with Chefs Rod Butters, Willi Franz, Jesse Croy and Bernard Casavant. It sounded to me like this was a careerchanging adventure for them. Congrats to the Okanagan Chefs Association for stepping up to the plate and offering to be the first region to host what is sure to become an annual exchange for young chefs. For lots more recipes using local ingredients in season, pick up a copy of my book, Jude’s Kitchen, at local bookstores and wine shops.

Feta & Herb Dip This fresh-tasting, tangy dip is great on crackers, pita crisps, fresh pita triangles or chunks of fresh sweet pepper or cold cooked prawns. This Greek-inspired dip is nicely matched with the Mission Hill Family Estate 2011 Riesling, with its fruit flavours and nicely balanced, fresh acidity. 1/2 c. (125 ml) feta 1/4 c. (60 ml) red onion 3 tbsp. (45 ml) fresh parsley

1 tbsp. (15 ml) fresh oregano 1 tbsp. (15 ml) olive oil 2 tsp. (10 ml) lemon juice salt and pepper to taste Crumble feta cheese and very finely chop red onion. Chop herbs. Toss all ingredients together with the olive oil and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Top crackers or pita bread with this, or scoop up a bite with pita crisps.

Shrimp Spirals with Spinach Leaves & Fresh Herbs These are delicate-flavoured and refreshing as an appetizer, filling as a snack and they look really attractive as your contribution to a party. A nice dry B.C. VQA sauvignon blanc would go well with these. 4 oz. (120 g) soft cream cheese 1 tbsp. mayonnaise 1 tsp. (5 ml) lemon juice 2 green onions 1 tbsp. fresh parsley 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) Worcestershire sauce 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) salt 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) fresh-ground black pepper 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) hot pepper sauce 4 oz. shrimp handful of baby fresh spinach leaves large whole wheat tortillas

warm it up a little to soften it first. Beat it with mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced green onions and fresh parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper and my favourite hot chili sauce, Sriracha, until thoroughly mixed. Carefully stir in fresh shrimp so you don’t mush them up too much. Unless they’re very small, cut them in half first. Lay a tortilla out and spread it with the shrimp and cheese mixture. Cover that with baby spinach leaves, except across the top of the tortilla, which will be the last bit you roll up, because you want the cream cheese mixture to help stick the rolled-up tortilla together. Tightly roll up the tortilla and slice it into rounds, arranging the shrimp spirals on a platter or serving plate. Sprinkle with a few parsley leaves as a garnish.

I use whipped cream cheese, but if you use a brick,

Some simple guidelines for readers of Jude's Kitchen There are some basics about my cooking that you should know about in using the recipes created for Jude’s Kitchen. *I mean a large egg when a recipe calls for an egg *usually, butter and margarine are interchangeable *usually, salt and pepper is added to your taste *I generally use sea salt

*fresh ingredients top frozen or canned *organic products are my first choice *wherever possible, I use whole grains, not processed *include a variety of them, when possible *wherever possible, I use fresh herbs *fewer quantities of dried herbs are needed than fresh

*I use extra virgin olive oil *I use grapeseed or olive oil to cook with *I don’t deep fry *feel free to substitute. I do *have fun in the kitchen *encourage others to as well
