News ALR REFORMS
Province hopes relaxed rules benefit farmers Contributor
Breweries, distilleries and meaderies will be allowed to open up on farmland in the Agricultural Land Reserve provided they meet the same rules set out for wineries. That’s one of a series of reforms announced by the province Monday that aim to make it easier for farmers to set up agricultural processing plants and otherwise earn more money from their land. As with wineries in the ALR, at least half the farm ingredients that go into the beer, spirits or mead must be grown on the farm. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick noted hops farming is on an upswing in areas such as Chilliwack and Kamloops, and predicts the rule change will create an incentive for more farmers to take a risk and get into beverage production. “If that means you can enjoy some mead or some beer on a piece of farmland and that’s what it takes to get that farmland back into
production, I’m okay with that,” Letnick said in an interview at an herb farm in Surrey. ALR land can also now be leased for farming without applying to the Agricultural Land Commission – a move the province hopes gets more unused land into production. Another rule change will make value-added processing easier by letting farms band together as co-ops and count all their members’ crops toward meeting the same 50 per cent local content rule. That’s expected to allow clusters of farms to feed into a plant in the ALR that makes something like juice or jam without seeking ALC approval. Metro Vancouver previously registered concern that looser rules for non-farm uses may result in less land being farmed and a further climb in farmland prices beyond what new farmers can afford. “Some people wanted us to do more, some wanted us to do less,” Letnick said. “I firmly believe that
we’ve come up with the right balance that promotes agriculture and safeguards agriculture but also provide for more opportunities for farmers to earn income on their land.” Winery restaurants in the ALR will now be allowed to serve alcohol they didn’t produce, such as beer. Some reforms apply only on farmland outside the Lower Mainland, Letnick said, because he said farmers face a tougher struggle to earn a living in areas such as the Interior, North and Kootenays. A second home can now be built on large parcels of at least 50 hectares in the ALR’s rural Zone 2 provided residential uses make up less than 43,000 square feet. Letnick said that could allow farmers to build another house for family, lodging for workers, or a rental to earn extra money to support the farm. Similarly, retiring farmers in Zone 2 will be allowed to sell the farm but lease back their farmhouse from the new

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick, MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country, outlines changes Monday to the Agricultural Land Reserve land use restrictions. farm owner, who can build another home on the property. It’s hoped that will help those retiring farmers sell their farms but encourage them to stay there and perhaps mentor a new, younger farmer, Letnick said, and meet the challenge of the coming “generational change” in agriculture.
Second dwellings are still on the same parcel of land, which can’t be subdivided without asking the ALC. More proposed reforms relating to agri-tourism are still being considered and are to be put to local governments for feedback in the fall. Asked if he intends to increase the ALC’s
budget so it can hire more compliance and enforcement officers — just three officers patrol the entire province for violations like illegal fill dumping – Letnick said that’s under consideration. He said the ALC’s budget is now $3.4 million, up from $2 million.
HOMICIDE IN KELOWNA
Victim found in downtown neighbourhood home Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
Kelowna resident Warren Welters was the victim of a homicide, say Kelowna Mounties. The 51-year-old’s death, which came to the attention of police Sunday, was previously deemed ‘suspicious,’ but investigators upgraded it to a homicide Tuesday morning. The circumstances around Welters’ killing, however, remain unknown and no suspects have been arrested. During a Monday press conference

about the matter, Cpl. Joe Duncan said he couldn’t address neighbourhood rumours that gunshots were heard in the downtown neighbourhood around the time that Welters was found dead. He did, however, point out that police didn’t believe there to be a cause for concern in the community, despite the fact it was clear that Welters had met a violent end. “It’s safe out there. There’s no cause for concern, but if anyone heard anything, come forward,” he said. Welters’ death was called into police at 8:31 p.m. June 14.
There were several people at the 941 Bernard Ave. home where he was discovered, and they were questioned at the scene. Now they’re looking to the community for answers. The Kelowna RCMP has set up a Serious Crimes Tip line and request members of the public who may have any knowledge of this incident to call 250-470-6236. Or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477, leaving a tip online at www. crimestoppers.net or by texting your tip to CRIMES (274637) ktown.
A jury is expected to begin deliberating Tuesday in the manslaughter trial of Neil Snelson, who is accused of killing a 19-year-old woman after a house party in Kelowna in 1993. A B.C. Supreme Court judge was scheduled to complete the charge to the jury Tuesday morning. Following that, the jury will be sequestered to make its decision. Jennifer Cusworth was found dead in a ditch on Swamp Road a day after attending a Kelowna party. She was strangled and suffered skull fractures from being struck in the head seven to eight times, a forensic pathologist testified during the trial. The Crown tendered evidence showing Snelson’s DNA matched semen found in Cusworth’s body. Court heard Cusworth and Snelson had been at the same house party the day before her body was found. A pickup truck similar to Snelson’s was also seen by a witness near where Cusworth’s body was found. Snelson was questioned by police in 1993, but wasn’t charged until detectives revisited the investigation in 2009. The outcome of Snelson’s previous trial was appealed and he was ordered to again stand trial.

Highway 97 adjacent to Parkinson Recreation Centre, Wood noticed a mother duck and her five ducklings proceeding across the southbound lane of Harvey Avenue, likely heading for the creek and bush area around the recreation centre near the pedestrian overpass. As Wood began to slow down, being the only car in the vicinity heading eastbound at that moment, about 7:30 p.m. last Wednesday. But what they all witnessed next he says he still finds hard to understand. Someone driving a white Audi, one Wood said looked brand new, was approaching the ducks in the HOV southbound lane when the car swerved over into the passing lane with the apparent intent to run over the duck family.
After doing so, the driver slowed down for a moment before taking off. Wood pulled over his car, with both his wife and son upset about what had just happened. “We slowed down so my son could watch the ducks cross the road and instead he watched them be run over,” he said. Wood said the mother duck suffered a broken wing and a broken beak, and had to be put down. He chased down the six ducklings and was able to procure five of them, the sixth having been taken by a crow. “It was just a horrible, horrible thing to witness,” he said. Two RCMP happened to arrive on the scene as well, and Wood told them what happened. “They were the next cars to arrive after the Audi but they were too far back to see what

Certified Carpet Cleaning Technician/Oxy-Dry System Developer
A
Q
How can I reduce the dust in my home?
Here are some suggestions to keep the dust in your home at bay: 1. When dusting, use a damp rag or electrostatically charged cloth. They will trap dust much better than a dry rag. 2. Bedding collects skin flakes, sheds its own fibers and sends out a puff of dust every time you roll over so change your bedding every week. 3. Change your furnace filter regularly. Pleated filters work better because they have an electrostatic charge that attracts and holds dust and pollen. It may also be time to clean the ducts. 4. When vacuuming, use a vacuum with a powerful agitator. Suction alone is not enough to trap those dust bunnies. Keep your vacuum well maintained to ensure it is operating at peak efficiency. 5. Have your carpet regularly cleaned by Oxy-Dry®! Our powerful Max-Vac Extraction vacuum will remove dust and dirt from the top of the under pad drawing it through the carpet and into the recovery tank. The carpet fibers are then cleaned with our low moisture process boosted with 100% natural ozone killing all germs, bacteria and viruses on contact and eradicating dust mites. Another pass with our MaxVac system will ensure the most thorough, dust free clean possible. Like us on Facebook for regular tips on cleaning and decorating your home. OXY-DRY®...your FRESH choice!

Among the Roxby Square upgrades are a new surface treatment, custom made metal trees with LED lighting, street furniture and banners. The $166,000 project was funded in part by the Uptown Rutland Business Association, contributing $35,000.

news _____________________________________________________________________ HILLCREST FARM
FATHER’S DAY
Second public hearing Event to fight prostate cancer for controversial cafe Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com
A controversial cafe at a Kelowna farm operation will be the subject of a second public hearing by the city. The cafe at Hillcrest Farm, which has been operating since 2012 without a city business licence, will have a second public hearing held to look at zoning to allow the cafe to comply with city regulations June 30. The Agricultural Land Commission has said it will allow the cafe to operate under certain rules. The first public hearing, scheduled for earlier this month, was deferred after the city received last-minute information from the Black Mountain Irrigation District concerning water to the site. At the time, the city was not sure if the water issue would affect fire safety at the cafe - which is part of a much larger farm operation – so the public hearing was deferred. But on Monday, city council was told staff do not believe the question of water supply would affect the cafe if it keeps to the 30-seat capacity it now has and that the city is requiring. Despite taking the owners of the Hillcreast
Farm to court over operating without a business licence and a number of other issues, and seeing owner Chancal Bal fined a total of $8,000, the city says it supports the cafe continuing to operate. That is, as long as it complies with the requirement that its capacity not exceed 30 people. A sign must also be posted inside indicating the maximum number of seats, an issue concerning the size of a now removed sign at the farm must also be resolved as well as the number of access roads onto the site. The owners must also agree not to transfer or sell the business in future — as per an Agricultural Land Commission resolution – or expand the cafe’s size. A number of other issues concerning the farm that the cafe is located on also have yet to be resolved but council wanted to separate them from the issues concerning the cafe when it comes to the public hearing. The only councillor to vote against holding a second public hearing was Charlie Hodge, who also voted against it the first time saying the move appeared to him to “reward bad behavior.” While Bal said he has

paid the $8,000 in fines, he can live with the 30seat capacity for the cafe because that is what it is now. As for not being allowed to transfer or sell the cafe, Bal’s son Sukhpaul, who has acted as a spokesman for the family on the issue of the cafe, said he feels the limitation is unfair. While he said the family would likely not fight it at the public hearing, he warned the city he may take legal action in future. “I can take (the city) to court at anytime over that,” he said. The Bals feel they are being dealt with unfairly by the city, saying other agricultural operations, like wineries, are allowed to do what city hall says Hillcreast Farm cannot. The Bals do not deny operating the cafe without the required business licence for the last three years but justify it by saying other business on agricultural land are allowed to have dining facilities and host events like weddings, so it should too. The cafe started as a way for the farm to sell some of its produce, said Sukhpaul Bal. But the city claims the original plans presented did not represent what the business turned out to be.
Prostate cancer is a serious men’s health issue in Kelowna just like every other community in B.C. So organizers of the revived Father’s Day walk/ run in support of prostate cancer research and therapy and treatment programs will turn out on Father’s Day, June 21, for the event. It takes place at Mission Creek Regional Park, starting at 9:30 a.m. Rhonda Krushel, event coordinator for the Prostate Cancer Foundation BC, says this is the 17th year the event has been held, but will be the eighth time in Kelowna because the event was cancelled for

the communities where we work and live,” said Penner. The walk run takes place also this Sunday in Burnaby, the host city where the event started and which draws up to 1,400 participants annually, along with Victoria, Kamloops and Chilliwack. Krushel said there will be a number of activities set up at the park on walk day in keeping with the family friendly characteristic the event was created around. “Certainly we want to appeal to everyone to take part because many of us have had our lives touched in some way by
many years. Its revival is due largely to Raymond James, the financial services firm, who took over the lead sponsorship from Safeway. As part of their involvement, the firm wanted the event returned to Kelowna because there is a Raymond James office in our city. Cheryl Penner, with Raymond James, said their involvement was initially stoked by the enthusiasm of Sybil Verch, senior vice-president, western region, to fill the sponsorship void. “One of the reasons we got involved is we want to give back to

ain in the feet is one of the most debilitating injuries we can be plagued with; it is felt in the arch of the foot (Plantar Fasciitis), the heel (Plantar Fasciitis or heel spur) or at the back of the ankle (Achilles Tendonitis). Unfortunately, we continuously use our feet, which makes healing from related injuries very difficult.
success, it gives up and healing stops. Shockwave Therapy breaks up scar tissue, restoring the function of the muscle and promoting new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. In fact, in a double blind study published in Journal of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society, 90%of patients suffering from heel and arch pain showed significant improvements with Shockwave. Furthermore, Shockwave Therapy (developed to break up kidney stones) has success rates of between 77%-91% in the treatment of other soft tissue conditions. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

Plantar Fasciitis is an overuse injury affecting the fibrous tissue that forms the arch. Heel spurs can form when the fascia tears at the heel attachment and results in pain in the center of the heel. Achilles Tendonitis is irritation of the Achilles where the calf muscle meets the heel and can result in pain in the calf, the Achilles, or the back of the heel. The inflammation from overuse leads to pain as well as deposits of scar tissue, further inflaming the area each time the Achilles or plantar fascia are used. After the body has tried for weeks or months to heal the injury with no

Patio Misting Systems For less than $30 you can set up a misting system for your umbrella or sun shade. These smaller portable systems can be set up in minutes and have you sitting back in your easy chair cooled off and refreshed. We have a variety of small kits that can be temporarily or permanently installed. They are ideal for cooling small patios, gazebos, RV garden areas and even pets. Most of the kits come pre-assembled and only require minimal work to put together…. just add water! The pet cooling kit is ideal for your four-legged friends and are great in the hot sun for some added fun with your pet. How do misting systems work? Misting is one of the most effective and efficient methods available for cooling open outdoor areas. Mist cooling works by forcing water through specially designed misting nozzles to create a fog of ultra fine water droplets. The water droplets quickly evaporate which then in turn cool the surrounding air. When properly designed, a mist cooling system will work with prevailing winds and air movement. A misting system can be combined with misting fans to move mist or cooled air into the cooled zones. In most cases a misting system can reduce the temperature by at least 15 degrees celsius. Make sure you stop by the store and talk to anyone of the staff about your next misting system purchase…

news _____________________________________________________________________ WHAT’S UP DOWNTOWN
Small Shop at Night will showcase downtown businesses After enjoying a glorious spring, we head into summer with our downtown Kelowna blossoming with new buildings rising and new businesses opening to add to the already exciting, eclectic mix. The new Interior Health building is taking shape nicely at Doyle and Ellis while work has started across the intersection on the Innovation Centre; the new Kelowna Yacht Club is looking fabulous with the glass-fronted Cactus Club restaurant poised to open soon; and work is also in progress on the expansion of Jim Stuart Park. And still lots more projects are coming soon. You can just feel the energy in the air as our downtown continues to grow and amaze us all. With almost 60 patios
What’s Up Downtown JAN JOHNSON downtown, it’s hard to deny that it’s the openair dining capital of the Okanagan. Strolling the streets, you’ll see hundreds of people enjoying the al fresco experience on any given afternoon or evening. And new restaurants keep opening. Some of the new ones that come to mind are Curious Alchemy Cafe, El Taquero and B & A (all on Ellis), FSH Social House on St. Paul and Antico Pizza Napoletana on Bernard. If you’re feeling hungry and you love fresh air, you
definitely want to head downtown. ••• Had a chat recently with Karen McLennan, franchise owner and manager of Blue Sky Clothing at 101-1447 Ellis. Their philosophy is “to not leave a footprint on the planet and to clothe every shape and size of body.” With that in mind, Blue Sky carries sizes from XS to 4X. It’s amazing the variety of colourful styles that Karen can fit into her shop, and they even carry clothes for men. Blue Sky’s styles, whether in bamboo or rayon, are all designed by company founder Marilyn Robinson, and all are purchased through fair trade practices. Be sure to
check them out soon. ••• A downtown event that was a huge hit last year will return this Thursday evening, June 18, from 4 to 9 p.m.— Small Shop at Night. In conjunction with this event, there will be all sorts of fun things to do downtown. Not only will more than 120 businesses be open, offering fun events, giveaways and specials, but there will be free music entertainment outside the downtown library, Mosaic Books, Downtown Eyewear (547 Bernard) and in the 1200 block of Ellis. Watch as well for free samples of gelato, handmade chocolates and jerk chicken The Towne Centre mall will also host wine tasting and appies for $10, and
a free fashion show in the mall. Come and enjoy the party as our downtown merchants show their appreciation for your support, and you can show some big love for local small businesses. There’s also a chance to win a $250 gift certificate to spend downtown, just by making a purchase in a downtown business that night. To find out more about what’s happening that night check out the website downtownkelowna.com and click on Small Shop Events. Oh, and did I mention that the city is donating free parking on the street and in the library and Chapman parkades on Thursday from 2 p.m. on? That’s more than 2,000 free parking spots.
Charity group hosts another bike giveaway Jim Couper Contributor
The more they give away, the more they get back. Keith Germaine, head of the local Bicycles for Humanity chapter, explains it this way: “At first we just got the occasional kid’s bike donated, but after a few years they accumulated and started to take up significant space in our shed so we thought we’d give them back to the community through a giveaway day. That started the avalanche.” Kelowna’s Bicycles for Humanity ships adult bikes to the West African country of Ghana, but doesn’t have room in its containers for
children’s bikes. Three months ago, the group gave away hundreds of small bikes, scooters and tricycles to local families and again they are overloaded. Now, the group plans to do a second bike giveaway time for the first time. In the last four years, more than 1,700 kids’ bikes have gone to local families. This second bike giveaway will take place starting at 8 a.m. on Saturday, June 27, at 3645 Benvoulin Rd. in the rear parking lot of St. Charles Garnier Church. “When a child outgrows the bike the parents can now bring it back to where it came from so we are giving away some bikes for a second time,” said Germaine. Bikes for Humanity volunteers will be on
hand at the event to make minor adjustments to bikes, inflate tires and accept donations which are requested but not required. Information about the local charity that has spread around the globe will also be available. The group is seeking additional volunteers so anyone interested in preparing bikes for shipping and loading containers can speak to Germaine at the bike giveaway. Anyone with a surplus adult bike in riding condition can drop it off. As well as shipping bikes to nurses and farm workers in poorer countries the group also provides bikes to seasonal workers in the Okanagan and to needy people in the community.
So come on down, let your hair down and enjoy our small shops. And don’t forget to mark your calendars for the next big downtown event, the annual Block Party, coming up on Saturday, Aug. 8. Jan Johnson is the co-
owner of TigerlilyFashion 541 Bernard Ave., in downtown Kelowna. If you have any news about downtown business openings and/or events, please email them to tigerlilyfashion@shaw. caca or call her at 250762-8384.

Opinion OUR VIEW
Premier fumbles yoga initiative It sometimes seems that in her quest to seem young and hip, Christy Clark forgets that her job as premier of B.C. requires a certain level of decorum and respect. Clark once again demonstrated how oblivious she can be, creating another fracas with her attempt to host an International Day of Yoga event. “Om the Bridge” would have seen Vancouver’s busy Burrard Bridge closed for several hours on June 21, and set the province back $150,000. June 21 is the first day of summer. It’s also, as many people are aware—though apparently not Premier Clark—National Aboriginal Day. Clark apparently still hasn’t learned a lesson that most people learn in their childhood, that showing respect creates respect in turn. When it comes to dealing with B.C.’s First Nations, showing respect is a key piece of the puzzle. It would be hard to describe how much disrespect Clark showed by organizing—and planning to attend this event— on the same day. And she didn’t stop there, taking to Twitter last Thursday to mock the people expressing concern over Om the Bridge. The whole sorry mess fell apart on June 12, when Clark announced she wouldn’t be attending the since canceled Om the Bridge event. It’s worth noting that in Clark’s 220-word announcement that she wouldn’t be attending the event, only 23 words were dedicated to National Aboriginal Day—the rest was about the wonders of yoga. Nor did Clark mention anything she might be doing on June 21 to honour Canada’s First Peoples. One Twitter user, Peter McCartney, summed up Clark’s attitude pretty well when he suggested the premier was “showing all the maturity of a 12-year-old.” Though perhaps that is doing a disservice to 12 year olds. Perhaps we could find a 12-year-old to offer Clark some basic lessons?

Yoga showcase on Family Y lawn One of the most satisfying aspects of public life for me is the opportunity it gives to help improve the health and MLA’s Report well-being of the people I represent, you. NORM My monthly health forums in LETNICK Kelowna focus on a wide range of topics on good physical and mental health and have had a positive impact. They help people identify areas that need improvement and give them avenues to make positive changes in their day-to-day lives. Regular readers also know my newspaper column frequently tackles health and wellness issues for young and old and everyone in between—even the family pet. It was extremely gratifying when 300 people showed up on March 28 for an event I spearheaded—the first Knox Mountain Walk for Health and World Peace. The walk was designed not only to promote physical activity, but also to celebrate our community’s diversity and ability to live in harmony, despite our differences. In the spirit of helping improve the health and wellbeing of the people I represent, I’ve decided to organize a gathering on June 21, Father’s Day, on the lawn across from the Kelowna Family Y on Hartman Road to celebrate the International Day of Yoga. Okanagan residents can be part of a global event as cities around the world celebrate the first International Day of Yoga, which was declared by the United Nations General Assembly at the urging of India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The principles of yoga align with my philosophy of achieving life satisfaction through a healthy mind, body

and spirit. Yoga has been described as an art and science for healthy living— something for which the Okanagan Valley is renowned. I want to emphasize that you don’t have to be an active yoga practitioner to take part on International Day of Yoga. It is for all ages, from beginners and those who have never tried yoga, to experts. I fall into the category of those who have never tried yoga, but I am looking forward to this event along with my colleague Steve Thomson, MLA for Kelowna-Mission, as we follow the direction of Melanie Morrissette, of Abs-tract Fitness. There is an added incentive for participants, too. Everyone who takes part is eligible for a Gateway Casino prize package consisting of a two-night stay at the Penticton Lake City Casino, two tickets to the Elvis Festival, and a two-night stay at the Grand Villa Casino in Burnaby, plus dinner. What better way to celebrate Father’s Day and the first day of summer by joining your friends and neighbours for one hour of yoga and fellowship, from 10 to 11 a.m. It’s a simple step toward achieving better health for body and mind, and maybe win a great Father’s Day gift for someone special in your life . . . or just for you. See you there.

CONCERNED CITIZEN
Clark gov’t seems OK to let mussels invade Open letter to Madame Premier: I’m a B.C.-based filmmaker, born and raised here. I love our province deeply. I love our people, I love our culture, and most of all I love the unparalleled natural beauty that defines our province. Last summer, I learned of the imminent threat that zebra and quagga mussels pose to our province. While I sat with my family on an idyllic B.C. beach next to a sparkling lake filled with people swimming, boating, and fishing, I realized that everything in front of me would be destroyed if the mussels got into B.C. I had to do something, so I decided to make a short film. At the time, I assumed that the government of B.C. must simply be unaware of this threat, or at least unaware of its magnitude. I hoped that my film would help change this. You can watch the five-minute film at www.protectourfreshwater.ca. I know now that your government is aware. However, for some reason, you have dedicated a mere $1.3 million, spread out over three years, to combat a problem that has cost over $6 billion in North America so far, and has been a tragedy for every community that has faced it. Your current action plan is entitled, Early Detection and Rapid Response. This is based on a glaring falsehood. In 25 years, in hundreds of lakes and rivers across North America, it has been proven again and
again that eradication does not exist. Zebra and quagga mussels, once in a lake or river, cannot be stopped. Since this in an established, well-known fact, let me ask you this: What exactly are you planning to rapidly respond with? Prevention is the only option. Period. The only way to protect our province is to stop and inspect every single boat that crosses our borders. If you miss even one boat, that could be the boat that causes a catastrophe in our province. You said on CTV News that with your current preventative program of three roving inspection teams, you are “watching to see what works.” Let me point out what should be obvious. If any part of your program doesn’t “work,” the result will be the infestation and subsequent destruction of our lakes and rivers. Putting out a half-hearted ‘test’ program is not a luxury that British Columbians can afford. Failure is simply not an option. The only thing that will work is 100 per cent border protection. Everyday that you resist doing what is necessary and right, you gamble with the future of every community in B.C. You have said that you are working with other provinces and states to alert you if a contaminated boat is incoming. So you are outsourcing the protection of B.C. to outside jurisdictions which have their own lakes and rivers to worry about. Wouldn’t it make
sense, considering what is at stake, to work with them and have mandatory, permanent inspection stations at our borders—the same as what Alberta and several other jurisdictions have? You have said you will continue to review the program and see if more action is needed. Time is not a luxury we have. Anytime this summer or next, a boat could easily slip past your very weak border defence and launch in our waters. Then, your only option will be to sit back and watch as the mussels inevitably spread to every lake and river in B.C. The freshwater ecosystems of our province will be turned upside down. The salmon, trout, and kokanee will all but disappear. Our beaches, riverbeds and lake floors will be a carpet of razor-sharp shells. As the mussels invade our drinking-water systems, agricultural irrigation systems, firesuppression systems, and hydroelectric dams, every B.C. resident will face steep increases in taxes and bills. Perhaps worst of all, our lakes and rivers, central to our identity and way-oflife, will become unrecognizable. The damage will be permanent. You have the power and the resources to prevent this. The people of B.C. are calling for action. This is an emergency and should be treated as such. Why do you delay? Why are you not doing the absolute maximum to protect our province? Is B.C. not worth it to you? Brynne Morrice, Vernon

Disgruntled residents are not majority took time out of their day to attend. There is a small group of people that are not happy with being governed by the RDCO East, but those people are also very vocal in finding great fault with both our provincial and federal governments. It appears that this small group is in the process of gathering information once again in regard to the possibility of incorporating our community without first receiving the majority community support on this matter. In fact they seem to be operating ‘off the grid’ as the majority of citizens are not even aware of any of these actions—all very suspicious and certainly creates a strong feeling of distrust with this group. The subject of incorporation of the RDCO
Ellison district was brought up about three years ago and very quickly disregarded by the residents due to our vast area, low population and lack of industry and commercial tax base. Statements have been made to the media that, quite frankly, are not the opinions of the greater population. I would encourage this small group that is so unhappy with how our community is being governed that perhaps they should consider finding a new place to live where it would meet all of their political expectations.

Kelowna traffic jams good for Peachland tourism To the editor: Southern Okanagan tourism economy is benefiting by the grid lock on Kelowna’s roads. I operate a guest house in Peachland, and the guests who have to pass through Kelowna to get here are often shocked by the traffic congestion and have no wish to go back there during their holiday and it’s still only June. They also all prefer to go south on their day trips instead and some even decide to go back home via Osoyoos, so that they do not have to anticipate the prospect of having

ELLISON DISTRICT
Open letter to Central Okanagan Regional District: I would like to thank all of the directors and staff for their presentation at the open house at the Ellison Community Hall. I was happy to attend on Tuesday last week as we have not had anything like this since Connie Bielert was our director and she would arrange and host similar events occasionally, to keep us informed. I did find it very odd that in the 2 1/2 hours I was there, our current director, Patty Hansen, was not present in the hall to welcome her constituents and to be available to answer questions. Whatever was in the fire hall was obviously more important than connecting with the residents of Ellison who

So a big thank you to the planners who, not so many years ago, did not have the foresight to plan for a second Kelowna bridge or bypass and thank you to the residents who still feel there is no need to build this. While this attitude continues, Southern Okanagan towns can continue to look forward to many more visitors boycotting Kelowna and coming south instead. G. Evans Peachland

Festively decorated pirate ships gather at the Downtown Marina and escort the young buccaneers and their families to various treasure station boats on the lake in a quest for loot. The adventure continues
at Kerry Park with games, music, food and more fun for everyone in Kelowna. “The Boat for Hope event is a unique experience for families with children who have special needs, made possible because an entire community comes together to make it happen,” says Bernice Scholten, Variety’s executive director. “We know that, with support, anything is possible. The kids are champions, and this event is another way we celebrate their courage and determination.” Variety thanks its sponsors the Kelowna Yacht Club, Pharmasave, Mustang Survival, Boys and Girls Club of the Okanagan, Downtown
Marina, Kelowna Fire Department, Nesters Market, The Jammery, The Juice 103.9 FM, the City of Kelowna, London Drugs, and KalTire for their support. Be a part of the pirate adventure as a corporate sponsor or boat skipper by contacting David Coons, director of Fund Development at 604-320-0505 or david.coons@ variety.bc.ca. Families needing support are encouraged to contact Variety at variety.bc.ca. The Boat for Hope leaves from the Downtown Marina, 210 Bernard Ave. starting at 10 a.m. June 20. It will be followed by Treasure Island at Kerry Park, 1480 Mill St. until 3 p.m.
DEALING WITH DIZZINESS
One in five develop vertigo symptoms in their lifetimes It is a weird and uncontrollable sensation—you get dizzy bending forward or looking up to the ceiling, lying down, getting up in the morning, or even rolling over in bed. It’s like the room is spinning and it makes you feel sick. If you experience this, you may be suffering from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). It is estimated that one in every five people will develop vertigo in their lifetime. The most common cause of vertigo is a condition in the inner ear known as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. BPPV occurs when there is ‘debris’, or more specifically, a calcium carbonate crystal, which
Keeping You Movin ROBINA PALMER has been displaced within the inner ear. The presence of this displaced crystal within the inner ear can disturb one’s balance and equilibrium, and sense of motion. There are multiple causes for the crystals to be displaced but, most often, it tends to be spontaneous. Other causes can include trauma (fall, hit to the head, whiplash), high dose antibiotics, age, and extreme changes in barometric pressure. Most of my patients with BPPV report dizziness
with certain positions. Most commonly, it is lying flat in bed, rolling over in bed, getting up in the morning, looking up to the ceiling, and bending forward. It can be a combination of these motions, or only one, that reproduces the vertigo. Treatment for BPPV can be very effective. It consists of ‘repositioning’ the crystal in the inner ear. This is done through a series of head and body positions, which will move the crystals away from the sensitive hair cells within the inner ear. Although BPPV accounts for a large percentage of vertigo, it is not the only cause.
If you have these symptoms, or think you may have BPPV, talk to your doctor or physiotherapist who is trained in vestibular rehabilitation. For more information on dizziness and vertigo, join us at Sun City Physiotherapy for a free lecture on Tuesday, June 30, 6:30 p.m., at our St. Paul Street clinic in downtown Kelowna. Please call 250-861-8056 to reserve your seat.

Forty years is a long time to be away from a classroom. For Splatsin Nation spiritual helper and elder Edna Felix, it proved to be the opportunity to change her life’s course. After her husband passed away, Felix found herself struggling to balance working odd jobs with the responsibilities of caring for her four children and two foster children (who are her grandsons). Finding it difficult to secure work with only a Grade 8 education, Felix turned to social assistance. She credits a social worker who mentioned the Stepping Forward program offered at Okanagan College’s Salmon Arm campus for broadening her horizon and leading her to gainful employment. “I was nervous heading into the program but through learning I understood that my life
experience in and of itself had been an education,” said Felix. “The program teaches essential skills for the work place, and also valuable life skills including goal setting. I realized I already had many of these skills, but simply needed to hone them.” Within the classroom, Felix took a role in mentoring the younger students, her peers. For an essay assignment she wrote about the history of the Shuswap people, her husband, and the land, culture and her family tree. Upholding the tradition of oral story telling, Felix mentored the young students in teaching them the stories of her family, land, and people. Nothing written down, just passed down with the word from an elder to the younger generations. Some of her fellow students, it turns out, were relatives. “Okanagan College is openly interested in

Studies department at the college, provides preemployment skills and essential skills training, as well as Adult Basic Education upgrading. It
incorporates traditional First Nations heritage teachings and culture through aboriginal work history, Medicine Wheel, and drumming workshops. According to Felix, the qualifications and certifications (including FoodSafe, First Aid, and Camp Cook) she received during the program were crucial to her finding employment. She is currently working as a dishwasher and prep cook at the Wicked Spoon in Salmon Arm. Felix has set a longterm goal of opening and managing an elders’ home. She has already applied to Okanagan College’s Health Care Assistant program and is building her work experience to encompass all aspects of owning a care facility, including as a cook and janitor. “If I am to be a supervisor, I need to know
what needs to be done and how to do it so that I can say I understand the roles of the job.” The Stepping Forward program offered at Okanagan College was developed in coordination with First Nation partners to provide a well-rounded program for aboriginal learners experiencing barriers to employment, including lack of high school graduation, work and life skills training. Felix’s class included 24 students from a combination of the Neskonlith, Adams Lake, Little Shuswap Lake, and Splatsin Nation bands. All 24 graduated in this March. Funding for the program has been provided through the Canada-British Columbia Job Fund Agreement. The Ministry of Advanced Education supported the program with funds from the Aboriginal Community Based
Delivery Partnership Program. Participating students pay no fees. The Stepping Forward program originated through a partnership with the Okanagan Indian Band which has run two programs to date, and it has also been offered in Osoyoos. “This program truly is transformative and benefits such a diverse array of students,” said Caroline Chartier, aboriginal transition planner at Okanagan College’s Salmon Arm campus. “Some have been through residential schools, some not, some are mature students, others still in their late teens. “Our focus is on supporting students through the whole process, and giving them opportunities that extend beyond the support they already receive from their bands,” Chartier said.

Heat stroke is a condition where the body is exposed to high temperature or humidity over a long period of time. The heat-regulating mechanisms of the body are affected and are unable to effectively deal with the heat, causing the body temperature to climb uncontrollably. Young and old animals are more sensitive to high temperatures, as well as heavy-coated pets and short-snouted animals such as pug, shih tzu, boxers, Pekinese, bulldogs

dehydration, and the vomiting and diarrhea may become bloody. Terminal stages are manifested by seizures or coma, shallowing of the breathing or absence of breathing effort and finally death. Heat stroke is an emergency condition that requires an immediate medical care. If your pet is showing signs of heat stroke transfer it immediately to a cool shaded spot, pour cool water on your pet but not icy water. You can pour alcohol on your pet paws, alcohol dilates blood vessels, which is helpful in cooling down the body. First aid is crucial in the first minutes of treating heat stroke, however your pet’s well being should not stop there. Your pet should be checked by a veterinarian as other medical problems (kidney failure, heart, neurological, intestinal problems) could arise hours or even days following a heat stroke. Prevention is the key. Here are few tips how to keep your pet safe. Pets should stay well hydrated when traveling or hanging out in the outdoors, don’t forget to bring along water for your pets. Do not encourage your dog to run and play outside in the hot hours of the day, exercise your dog in the early morning or evening hours. Make sure your pet has a shady place to rest. It is very important to remember not to leave pets in cars, greenhouses or similar hot environments. Leaving a pet in the car in the hot day, even with a cracked open window can be deadly even after just a few minutes. When you are taking your dog to the lake, don’t assume that they are hydrated just for the fact that they are in the water, supply drinking water for them. I hope you’ll enjoy the summer with your pet, keep everybody safe and cool and away from the vet’s office.

Careful planning on several fronts has put British Columbia in a strong position to deal with forest fires this summer. We enter each forest fire season knowing that almost half of all wildfires in B.C. are caused by humans, which makes wildfire prevention, education and enforcement top priorities. A well-tended campfire is a highlight for any camping trip—when conditions allow it. But we also know campfires are a major cause of wildfires. So in an effort to reduce the number of human-caused wildfires, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations in 2010 reduced the size of legal campfires to 0.5 metres by 0.5 metres— about 19 inches square. In recent years, public outreach has expanded to include online and social media tools. The Facebook page
MLA’s Report STEVE THOMSON BCForestFireInfo has more than 40,000 followers, and @BCGovFireInfo on Twitter has more than 7,800 followers. The public can stay up to date during the fire season with information on evacuation alerts and orders, road closures, air quality advisories available at emergencyinfobc.gov. bc.ca. Forests are often part of an urban or residential landscape throughout B.C. To help reduce the risk of personal property damage due to wildfires, the Homeowner’s FireSmart Manual was developed. Copies are available at http:// bcwildfire.ca/Prevention/ firesmart.htm. The B.C. government introduced the Strategic Wildfire Prevention
Initiative in 2004 to help local governments and First Nations reduce the risk of interface wildfires, where urban development borders on forests and grasslands. As of this spring, 284 Community Wildfire Protection Plans have been completed by local governments and First Nations, and another 33 are in progress. Across B.C. we have more than 1,400 firefighters and support staff on hand for the 2015 wildfire season. We can also call on more than 1,600 contractors and many contingency resources if necessary, including those from other provinces. Last year, the Wildfire Management Branch added another air tanker group to its air fleet, consisting of four Air Tractor “Fire Boss” air tankers and one Cessna Grand Caravan bird dog. This group is based
in Revelstoke, but the aircraft can be split up or repositioned to higherpriority locations to respond to potential wildfire threats. In 2010, the B.C. government opened the $4.5-million Provincial Wildfire Co-ordination Centre in Kamloops, which serves as the province’s nerve centre for wildfire response and management. Air tanker bases in Penticton, Kamloops, Cranbrook, Castlegar and Williams Lake have all been upgraded since 2006 at a cost of more than $9 million. Additional upgrades were completed at bases in Cobble Hill, Vanderhoof, Fort Nelson, Parksville, Pemberton, Terrace, Puntzi and Revelstoke. I want to thank the public for its ongoing help in preventing wildfires.

The goal of the society is to preserve the Gellatly Nut Farm as a historic operational nut farm, located on the shores of Okanagan Lake in West Kelowna.
Anyone who spots a wildfire or unattended campfire should immediately call *5555 on a cellphone or 1-800663-5555 toll-free. It’s worth reminding
everyone that all British Columbians need to do their part to prevent wildfires by learning about safe fire use and complying with all campfire and open
burning regulations. After all, forest fire prevention is everyone’s responsibility. Steve Thomson is the Liberal MLA for KelownaMission.

news _____________________________________________________________________ MEDICATIONS AND DEMENTIA
Ask your doctor about medications and memory New research has found a link between long-term use of high dose anticholinergic drugs and a higher risk of dementia in older adults. The new study, published in the journal Aging, highlights the importance of continuing to examine medication use and effects for all conditions as we age. Anticholinergic agents work by blocking the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and are integral to many different
medications—both prescription and Healing Minds over-the-counter. Some conditions commonly treated with PAUL anticholinergics LATIMER include overactive bladder, seasonal associated with increased allergies, insomnia risk for cognitive and depression. impairment, this study Medications with these went further. properties are used by Researchers at the between eight and 37 per University of Washington cent of older adults. conducted a large-scale Although previous study of older adults studies have shown to determine whether these medicines may be
cumulative anticholinergic use affected the onset of dementia in this population. In this study, researchers analyzed 10 years of pharmacy dispensing data for 3,400 people aged 65 and older with no history of dementia. Individuals taking daily anticholinergics for more than three years were at greater risk of developing dementia than those who didn’t use these medications long term.
Tricyclic antidepressants, firstgeneration antihistamines and antimuscarinics for bladder control were the medications examined in this study. These results are a good reminder of the need to assess medication use on a regular basis. Health care professionals should be asking why a certain medication is being used over the long term and evaluating its likely effects. When patients are taking a
medication on a longterm basis, it is wise to periodically test for effects on cognitive function or other potential side effects. With these medications in particular, health care professionals should educate patients of potential risks and make an effort to minimize their use when possible. In many cases such as with antidepressants and sleep medications, there may be alternative medicines available that do not use
anticholinergic agents and may be a better treatment option. Ongoing research and the development of newer medications for many common disorders will also help to reduce negative effects going forward.

Prime time: Busy period for gardeners In the garden centre industry, May is the busiest month of the year simply because it is the month when most of us plant our gardens. There is no doubt it is the month when heat lovers such as tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and cucumbers should be planted out but gardening really begins when the frost is out of the ground in late February and carries on through the season until the garlic is planted around Thanksgiving weekend in the fall. At this time of year, when we are busy weeding and thinning and harvesting, it is the perfect time to sow some seeds for fall and winter harvest. With a little planning and timing you can be harvesting fresh greens from your garden for Christmas dinner. Vegetables planted in early summer take advantage of the sun’s warmth yielding sweeter, stronger crops that withstand the early frosts of winter. Some of the crops you can do this with are beets, lettuce, radishes, carrots, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, Swiss chard, turnips and the list goes on and on.
From The Ground Up DON BURNETT Growing a garden with raised beds is becoming more popular. Some of the advantages include warmer soil temperature, ease of keeping slugs and snails out of the veggie patch, less soil erosion and not having to bend down quite as far to work the garden. As well, an arrangement of raised beds looks good and is an added element to your landscape. Irrigating is also more practical with raised beds because water can be focused on the beds rather than on pathways. Often when a new home is built there is very little if any good garden soil left once the property has been disturbed so building raised beds and bringing in a good blend of soil that drains well and includes adequate organic material is the answer. Another option is growing in containers. I have fabulous success with sweet potatoes in large 10
gallon nursery pots simply because these heat loving plants thrive on the warmth of the soil. Also, containers can be moved around to follow the sun especially in smaller properties when a full days sun in any one location is difficult to find. Keeping the nutrient levels up to par is the one challenge we have with container gardening because of the leaching action from watering. A water soluble fertilizer such as 15-30-15 is the answer and for those of you who wish to use an alternative to manufactured fertilizer you can use products such as fish emulsion, seaweed or choose from several products on the market that are from an organic source. I still garden with good old 20-20-20 as I feel the plants really don’t know the difference between the nitrogen in that than the nitrogen that comes out of the back end of a cow. *** Just a reminder that this Saturday night is the annual Earth Wind Fire event supporting the Nature Trust of
Of Prime Interest: Don’t waste mortgage renewal opportunities Every mortgage has a specific term, guarantee of a set interest rate for a period of time. When a term is coming to a close, most banks will send you a mortgage renewal notice. Mortgage renewals are one of the most neglected decisions made during the life of a mortgage. Many homeowners stay with their existing mortgage lender because they believe it is too time consuming to shop around for a better rate. Rates available to a mortgage broker are often as much as 1.95 per cent below the banks posted rate. That calculates into a savings of over $311 per month based on a $250,000 mortgage. Over a five-year term that will save you $27,800. As well, you can be pre-approved up to four months prior to your mortgage coming available for renewal. This is the best of both worlds for you—a pre-approval will guarantee you the rate for up to 120 days and if the rate goes lower during that period you get the lower rate. A mortgage renewal is your opportunity to make changes to your mortgage without incurring a penalty. Options include to increase or decrease the mortgage amount, choose a new payment frequency, change the amortization or the
type of mortgage. The various types of mortgages available include fixed terms (six month to 10 year terms), variable rate mortgages or a line of credit. For example, if you are in a fixed rate product you could at this time easily switch to a variable rate mortgage or line of credit or vice versa. If you have any high interest loans or existing credit card debt now might be the time to pay them off and include them in your mortgage. If you are increasing your mortgage at renewal lenders will take into consideration your credit history, annual income, employment history and property value to determine your qualifications. You may also have extra cash available, which at renewal time can be applied to pay down the principle without an interest penalty being tacked on. Mortgage renewal time is a great opportunity to make the changes that are reflective of your lifestyle today.

Sports CLASS OF 2015
C.O. Sports Hall of Fame unveils new inductees whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
It would be safe to call Sarah Charles a natural. Not to mention a hard worker and an exceptional athlete. Those are just three of the traits that has earned the Kelowna athlete a place in the Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame. Three years after switching from artistic gymnasts to double mini trampoline, Charles was a world champion. In 2003, at age 17, Charles won her first double mini world crown, then added another gold medal four years later. She also won gold in 2004 at both the Pan Am Games and Indo-Pacific Games. Although she was unable to attend in person, Charles was one five inductees for 2015 who were unveiled Thursday morning in Kelowna. “I think it’s tremendous honour for her to be recognized in her community, she’s brought a lot of spotlight to the Okanagan and the Okanagan Gymnastics Centre,” said Kari Purvis, a former manager at the Okanagan Gymnastics Centre. “Sarah was extremely
focused, a hard worker, she stayed long hours in the gym and did a lot of training outside of the gym. She was very dedicated, knew what her goals were and worked to achieve them.” The other inductees are: Christie Van Hees— Athlete Spanning a full decade, Christie Van Hees was one of the most decorated Canadian women ever to pick up a racquet. A six-time national champion, Van Hees won the world singles racquetball twice in 1998 and 2006 and added a silver medal in 2005. She was also the No. 1 ranked player in the world in 2005. Van Hees, who will be making the trip from her home in Dallas, Texas, for the ceremony this fall, “She was extremely honoured, almost taken aback in the sense that she understands how important it is to be inducted into this Hall of Fame,” said Christie’s dad, Dirk Van Hees. “She was glad that, both she and racquetball got recognized after quite a number of years. She set her goals high and achieved a lot in the sport.”
Bennett Award inductees: John and Jennifer Hindle. of the Blackhawks.”
CONTRIBUTED
Warren Henderson
The 2015 Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame inductees include (clockwise from top left): Christie Van Hees, Sarah Charles, Rod Belinski and Wayne Hicks. Wayne Hicks— Pioneer Athlete Wayne Hicks is the only hockey player from Kelowna to have his name etched on the Stanley Cup. Hicks won the NHL title
in 1961 as a member of the Chicago Blackhawks. He played 117 games in the NHL with Chicago, Boston, Montreal, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. “He’s honoured to be
mentioned with so many great athletes and people that have come out of the Okanagan,” said Wayne’s brother, Warren Hicks. “He always held a special place for Kelowna and was proud to be member
Rod Belinski—Builder Mention the world volleyball in the Okanagan and few names are more synonymous with the region than Rod Belinski. As head coach at KLO, he led the Cougars boys to five provincial volleyball titles. Belinski later coached the Okanagan University College men (1999 to 2005) to a silver medal at provincials and nationals in 2001. Belinski was instrumental in bringing the B.C. Volleyball championships to Kelowna in 1993 and served as the chair for 19 years. “You look back on sports career and coaching and being a part of hosting the events and things we did, for me it just so much fun,” Belinski said. “I enjoyed it so much and now to be
recognized for something that you love doing, is great.” John and Jennifer Hindle—Bennett Award, special recognition John and Jennifer Hindle have been posthumously recognized for their contributions to athletics throughout the Central Okanagan. The Hindles founded the Apple Triathlon in 1983, fostered the development of Big White and Silver Star Ski Resorts and, as owners of the Eldorado Hotel, hosted many athletes and sport fundraisers. “This is a wonderful honour for our family,” said their son, Dan Hindle. “My parents would be humbled by the recognition.” The sports hall of fame induction gala will be held Thursday, Nov. 19 at the Coast Capri Hotel.
Pitching proves to be key in Kelowna Falcons’ early success Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
Pitching: In a word, that’s what Billy Clontz credits for a large degree of success the Kelowna Falcons are having so far in the 2015 West Coast League baseball season. The Falcons, who are in the midst of a fourday break, have won four straight and are now 6-3 on the season—just 1/2 game back of Yakima
Valley for top spot in the East Division. On Sunday, the Falcons completed a clean sweep of the Medford Rogues with a 9-4 verdict at Elks Stadium. Four Falcons pitchers combined for a twohitter and didn’t give up a hit over the final seven innings, spanning 25 batters. Kelowna hurlers have yielded just four runs over the last 18 innings and
now rate third in the WCL this season in team ERA (3.15). “The guys are going out and having good quality starts and they’re really competing,” said Clontz. “Early on we were a bit passive but as of late the guys have stepped up the energy and they’re starting to get comfortable out there and with one another.” Elias Bedolla from Ohlone College leads
Falcons starters with two wins and 10 strikeouts, while Jayse Bannister has been solid out of the pen the last two outings with nine innings pitched an no runs allowed. The Holy Names University lefty pitched five hitless innings on Sunday. The Falcons are off to a considerably better start than a year ago when Clontz, in his rookie campaign, watched Kelowna go 3-7 in its first
10. Still, with 35 players from all corners of North America on the roster and 45 games yet to play, Clontz considers the Falcons a work in progress. “We’re pleased with the start but we also understand it’s a long summer. We’re still continuing to grow as a team,” Clontz said. “We’re taking it day to day, it’s a developmental
league so you’re going to have ups and downs when you bring in kids from all across the country and try and get them to gel.” “But so far, we’re pretty happy.” Offensively, Ben Gamba from Holy Names is among the league leaders with a .412 average. Cal State U.’s Justin Flores is hitting .400 with a pair of home runs and six RBIs.
The Falcons will take on the PBL’s Okanagan A’s tonight in an exhibition game, 6:30 at Elks Stadium. Kelowna will return to WCL action this weekend when they hit the road for three against the Yakima Valley Pippins. The next home action for the Falcons will be on Monday, June 22 when the team welcomes the Bellingham Bells to Kelowna.

Everybody dreams; very few of us chase them. Kelowna’s Will Dean is one of the few. He realized at an early age that if he wanted to give his dreams a fighting chance, he needed a plan that was supported with old-fashioned blood, sweat and tears. Otherwise, the dreams would shrivel and die. His goal? He wanted to be a top-level athlete. His plan? Dean wanted a sports scholarship to a top American school that would act as a steppingstone to something more. The question then was how was this going to be accomplished? Dean knew that, though he was good at some of the sports he had started as a kid, he was never going to reach their pinnacle. Basketball, one of his loves, appeared a long shot. Dean was searching for a court that he could preside over, not one where he would play the role of the jester. He switched his focus to the world of amateur sport. The Olympic rings were what inspired Dean, he just had to decide in which ring he could deliver a knockout. “I have a powerful memory of Simon Whitfield winning the gold medal in Sydney,” explained Will, “that moment left a huge imprint on me.” Whitfield’s gold was an impactful moment for many Canadians, but especially for the Okanagan teenager whose mother had captured a world title in the sport in 1991. “I had to figure out a way to get to the Olympics,” Dean recounted as he remembered his thought process as a high school student. “I wanted to be a part of that

Kelowna’s Will Dean and the Canadian men’s quad rowing team have a busy summer working towards next year’s Summer Olympic Games in Brazil. movement.” Triathlons however, were not going to be the way he achieved his dream. “I was too big to be a triathlete so I had to find another sport.” Scrolling down the list of Olympic disciplines, he landed on rowing. Bingo. Knowing where to direct his energies was half the battle. “I decided that rowing would be my vehicle to get to my destination,” he explained. Ten years on, the almost 28-year-old London Olympian is in the midst of preparing with the Canadian men’s quad team for the Pan American Games regatta and more importantly, the Olympic qualifying regatta, both taking place this summer. With London behind him, he is looking towards Rio in 2016. “I try to get the most out of every day. I don’t want to finish any week thinking I wasted time,”
Dean said. His outlook on rowing reflects his approach to life. “I am receptive to being wrong. It is an attitude I try to embrace regardless of what I am doing,” Dean said. “Otherwise, I will stop getting better, and then I might as well move on.” And though Dean still daydreams about the NBA, all of his energy is being poured into performing in the Olympic ring, at this his second attempt. “I had a dream 10 years ago which led me to London by way of California,” said Dean. “Now hopefully it’s onwards to Brazil.” It was a dream that started in Kelowna and ended in London, with a detour through the Golden State. It is a dream that now continues with the goal of attaining a more permanent golden state in the city of Rio.

“It’s one day at a time,” Dean reiterates. “Daily goals while letting the larger dream guide you. If you do this, it doesn’t matter what happens, you have already won.” Mapping out a course and then following through with a plan, focusing on small daily victories while the dream guides you from a distance. Golden advice. And with an approach like that, who needs a silver lining.

Bradley defends his title champ, Bradley edged out another former champion, Gudmund Lindbjerg of Pitt Meadows, by two strokes in the 36-hole event which ended Friday at KGCC. Bradley, who trailed Lindbjerg and two others by a stroke heading into the final rounds, registered birdies on the fourth, eighth and ninth holes on the front nine, then pushed past Lindbjerg with three more birdies on the back nine
to finish at five-under (7366) for the tournament. Lindbjerg was second at (72-69), while Gallagher’s Canyon’s Alastair Walker was third at 145. Point Grey’s Ryan Sittler finished alone in fourth at 146, while Lance MacGregor of Kings Links rounded out the top five at 147.

OKANAGAN BASEBALL
A’s Brodt throws no-hitter Matt Brodt’s no hitter stood out as the highlight of the weekend as the Okanagan Athletics managed a win in four tries against the Langley Blaze in B.C. Premier Baseball League action. In the opener on Saturday in Langley, Brodt, 17, allowed just three walks and struck out 10 as the A’s edged the Blaze 2-1. The only run Brodt allowed came in the fifth inning and that was unearned. It was third straight complete game shutout for the 5-foot-10, 180 pound hurler who drew plenty of praise from his head coach. “It was an unbelievable effort,” said A’s field boss Evan Bailey. “He was throwing the ball really well, with velocity and hitting his spots. It came against the best hitting
Matt Brodt
team in the league, so Matt can beat anyone.” The right-hander from Penticton got all the support he needed when Trevor Lofstrom who slammed a two-run home run in the sixth inning. Brodt, who also had two hits in the game, is now 4-2 with a 1.88 ERA. However, the A’s couldn’t built on Brodt’s effort and dropped the last three games of the series to Langley 8-3, 7-1 and 5-3. Okanagan (18-14) is
now tied for fifth spot in the PBL with the North Delta Blue Jays. The A’s have gone 3-9 this season against the league’s top three teams this season— North Shore, Victoria and Langley—which falls short of the head coach’s expectations. “At some point we’re going to have to beat the good teams to win a championship,” said Bailey. “We have to find way. Our compete level has been good, but we’re just haven’t had enough guys stepping up when we’ve needed it.” The A’s return to league play against the Coquitlam Reds on July 4 and 5 at Elks Stadium. Meanwhile, the A’s will take on the Kelowna Falcons in an exhibition game. First pitch at Elks Stadium is 6:30 p.m.

With four former champions in the hunt and five players separated by just one stroke, the Kelowna Golf and Country Club’s Senior Men’s Invitational was very much up for grabs heading into the final round. In the end, a stellar sixunder par 66 was good enough for the host club’s Norm Bradley to earn his second title at the 2015 edition of the annual tournament. The defending
Kelowna’s Norm Bradley, of the host club, carded a final round 66 to win the Kelowna Golf and Country Club’s senior men’s tourney for the second time.

Margaret “Ruth” Royal Ruth passed away peacefully at Hospice House in Vernon, BC on June 11th, 2015 at the age of 95 years. She was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan on November 7th, 1919, daughter of Osborne and Edna Johnston. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, William (Bill) George Royal in 1991. Ruth will be sadly missed by her three children and their families: Ken (Gerilyn) Royal of Burnaby, Ron Royal of Abbotsford and her daughter Margaret Robert of Vernon. Ruth’s grandchildren: Shelly, Donny, Andrew, Johnathan, Adrianna, Keanna, Nicholas, Danielle, Jennifer, Brandon, Jordan, Danny and 13 great-grandchildren. Ruth loved to play bridge and over many years of playing she made lots of lifetime friendships in Burnaby, Kelowna and in Vernon at Canterbury Court. Ruth always said, “if you know how to play bridge you could live anywhere and make friends”. Ruth also had a passion for travel and over her last 2 years travelled by vehicle to Palm Desert to spend time with her family. She loved to swim and just last summer was in Okanagan Lake with her great-grandchildren. Special places for Ruth included “The Glen at Maple Falls” where she spent many summers at her trailer. The cabin at Gun Lake where her and Bill used to spend hours fishing for lake trout. The cabin on Okanagan Lake where Mom loved to sit and relax on her patio swing and look out at the lake. A service celebrating her life will be held at Canterbury Court in Vernon on July 10 at 2:00 pm. The family would like to thank the staff and volunteers at the Vernon Hospice House and Dr. Gavin Smart for their amazing care and support of our mother in her final days. In lieu of flowers donations in memory of Ruth can be made to the North Okanagan Hospice Society.

Each ritual I completed had its own gentle instruction and method of completion. One that really brought me to pause, was taking 80 small stones I had brought and counting each stone into a small bowl until I reached my age next week of 64. I was then instructed by Lewis to slowly count out the stones to 80 and reflect on my feelings. At home, I had counted out the stones to bring the correct number with me.

Having watched my mom live into her 90s, I just make the assumption I too will live that long a life, but perhaps not. It was a sobering thought at first, but slowly transcended to a feeling of acceptance of life’s circle and the inevitability of all of us to face death and how little control we have over that. I leaned back and thought about this for quite a while. If I only have 15 more years, each day suddenly became more significant, living for the joy of what is most important in my life, the people I care about and the way I choose to spend my time. As we come to terms with ourselves, the road is

When not, you find you have suddenly turned and are swimming upstream

If you are looking for commitment, dedication & a loving nature in a new family member, look no further.

by Terra International Food based out of the Lower Mainland. Ritter Sport Chocolate is a 100 year-old German family owned business that is well known around the world. The “sport” in Ritter Sport refers to the fact that the bar of chocolate fit perfectly in a sport coat. I sampled the milk chocolate with praline and dark chocolate with marzipan, which was my favourite. Terra also distributes RJ’s licorice from New Zealand. It is black licorice with chocolate and raspberry licorice with chocolate, presented in a long round log form. Chocolate in the middle and licorice around the chocolate. Incredible, especially the raspberry. These products can be purchased at Urban Fare, Nature’s Fare, Choices, Nesters, IGA, Quality Greens, Illichmanns and the Mediterranean Market. Kyra Goetz is the territory manager for
own fresh crushed B.C. apples. Broken Ladder is a balance of six apple varieties blended to bring out the best of each, providing a superior taste. It is a dry cider with no added sugar, no concentrate, naturally carbonated, fresh pressed, no water added and no artificial flavours. It’s a cider true to the core. Chris Pollock is the marketing manager and Shannon Forgues the sales and orders agent of BC Tree Fruits Cider Co. Call 250-470-4254.

Cake artist Cindy Finnigan has opened Cakery Arts in Kelowna. The business was born out of Finnigan’s two passions in life—art and baking. She is a selftaught baker, became a hobby baker and has now realized that her passion has turned into a business with the help of the Community Futures Program. Working out of an approved commercial kitchen, Finnigan’s niche lies within sculpting, whether there are sculpted pieces added to or a completely sculpted cake. All her cakes taste like home baked as she uses single batch recipes made with fresh ingredients for all her creations. She specializes in clients coming to her with a concept and then letting her have the creative freedom to create a fun, custom design with a wow appeal. Along with basic cakes, she creates specialty cakes for any occasion, including weddings, birthdays, showers or business events. Call 250-8647567; online cakeryarts. com.

John was a strong advocate of business, but more so, was a strong advocate of our city and community. Personal condolences to his family and many friends.

Costco has joined Walmart in embracing the SPCA Certified program for use as an animal welfare certification on food products sold throughout their stores. As the market for ethically raised food products keeps growing, it’s a giant step forward for consumers who want to purchase SPCA Certified products. Up to now, only SPCA Certified eggs have been sold through Costco, but certified farmers
hadn’t been receiving any recognition due to Costco’s rules around labeling and the pending approval. Now any SPCA Certified food products sold through Costco will bear the store’s red barn label. Since launching in 2002, numerous farms have become SPCA Certified in B.C. and Alberta, with the first farm recently certified in Ontario. This year, the BC SPCA is putting more effort into expanding the program nationally, encouraging farms in every Canadian province to certify. The Sailpast to mark the official opening of the boating season for the Kelowna Yacht Club was held last Sunday. Hundreds of vessels took to Okanagan Lake for this traditional boating event. The Kelowna Yacht Club is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. In the fall of 1945, a group of boat owners and others who were interested in the future of boating on Okanagan Lake began to discuss forming a club and promoting boating in the Kelowna area. The first moorage was completed in 1951 with 38 stalls. The latest upgrade to the marina was completed in 2013 bringing it to its current size of 1,006 slips.

Rose Valley Elementary “Respect & Value Everyone”
Bike Safe Rose Valley Elementary wants all kids and students to be safe while they are coming or leaving the school. This is why every year Rose Valley Elementary hosts a bike rodeo. In this bike rodeo, grades 2 to 5 are taught about bike safety. In past years the rodeo has only included the Kindergarten students, however, with the smaller school, Mr. Warkotsch says that it was easier now to include more of the grade levels. They are taught hand signals, proper shoulder checks, when
to stop and when to walk your bike. Some of these skills may not seem important, but they could quite possibly save your life. The bike rodeo also offers information on what condition your bike is in and how well your helmet fits. Rose Valley Elementary believes that this is a great learning experience for all students. Mr. Warkotsch has been sponsoring the rodeo for the past 8 years and is hopeful to continue this in years to come.
Grade 2 Writing Dont Let The Pigeon Go To The Museum Don’t let the pigeon go to the museum because he will land on the dinosaur bones and break them! That would be HORRIBLE because there wouldn’t be a dinosaur skeleton display. Another reason not to let the pigeon go to the museum is when you have to leave he would have a bug fit! What he wold do wold be terrible, he would fly around the museum knocking everything over with his wings. That would be a disaster because the museum would have to close for a few weeks and no one would be able to go to the museum at all. That would be super bad and worst of all, all the displays would be ruined! He would scream as he flew and that would frighten all the people. He also would fly so high that you just couldn’t reach him even if you jumped. That would be so high that he will knock down a light, and possibly hurt someone. That’s why you shoud never let the pigeon go to the museum. “Pleeeeeeeeaaase” “No”! THE End By Skyla - Mr. Warkotsch Grade 2
Don’t Let The Pigeon Go Boating Oh good it’s you. Can you do me a favour? Don’t Let The Pigeon Go Boating. I think the pigeon shouldn’t go boating because he might crash into
a rock. Maybe he will fall out of the boat. He could break something. He might hurt himself. He could sink the boat. He may not know how to drive the boat. He might drown. Maybe he will hurt someone. He might break another boat. He’s too small to drive a boat. He doesn’t even have a boat. At least he needs a lifejacket. He could run out of gas and be trapped on the lake. That’s why I think pigeons shouldn’t go boating. By James Mr. Warkotsch Grade 2
Community Connection June 2015
Racing Rams Every year Rose Valley Elementary participates in a traditional run called the Bootn’ Billy Race. This race combines a series of trails that the racers run in the forest behind our school. Turtles are the last people to the finish line and travel behind the runners. When a runner gets hurt or sick, one of the many turtles will bring them back to the school. The Bootn’ Billy Race is a team event and everybody in the school participates and encourages the cross country team. The cross country team runs the race and the teachers and students watch and cheer on the runners, while two sixth graders, manage the snack table. At the end of the race, ribbons are given out to every individual
runner. Rose Valley Elementary does this race to encourage kids to run, to let the school have fun, and to prepare the cross country team for other races. Overall, though, Rose Valley hopes to inspire the students at our school to be active.
This year’s winners: Grade 6 Boys - Ryan Girls – tie Braelynn and Taylor Grade 5 Boys – Ethan Girls – Emily Grade 4 Boys – Ben Girls - Livia
Rose Valley Intermediates Act Out The intermediate students at Rose Valley presented the play A Pirates Tale. The main cast was made up of 16 students from grades 4, 5, and 6. The classes then sang the different folk songs. Music teacher, Mrs. Loveridge adapted the production from a short skit giving a loose retelling of Canadian history using popular folk songs. Some of the songs included, I’se By’s, Log Driver’s Waltz, and This Land is Your Land.
Rose Valley Elementary Goes Silent
Silent day is a very special day, because we all have to be silent. The purpose of silent day is to show that everybody has a voice. Rose valley Elementary raised over $700. Silent day is for the boys and girls that don’t have a voice. In order to help these kids’ students and teachers at Rose Valley Elementary take a pledge to be silent. For every hour they are silent they will pledge more and more money. Rose Valley Elementary believes that everybody as a right to be heard and pledges
to help the kids whose voices aren’t heard. Rose Valley has also been very active with other fundraisers. Inspired by the chance to turn the principal’s hair purple, the students set out to sell the most Variety Heart pins. Not only did the principal have to color his hair, our school sold the most pins of any school in B.C. which prompted Buy-Low Foods to write a cheque for a further $500.00. The school also sponsored their annual Terry Fox Run on April 10th commemorating the 35th anniversary of the day that Terry Fox dipped his artificial leg in the Atlantic and started his Marathon Of Hope. Toonies for Terry raised over $600.00 for The Terry Fox Foundation.
