LAMBERT LEAVES WHL ROCKETS Lisa Metz looks from her property above the roadside along Highway 33 where last weekend’s fire in the Joe Rich area originated.
HUCKLEBERRY FIRE
Joe Rich area blaze human caused Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com
When Joe Rich resident Lisa Metz takes her garbage and recycling down to the road to be picked up—in her case its Highway 33 just outside of Kelowna—its not uncommon for her to see tossed out cigarette butts lining the ditch of the highway. So on Friday afternoon, while she was at work, it wasn’t a huge surprise for her to hear there was a forest fire burning near her house. “When we take the garbage cans down you can see the cigarette butts scattered all along the highway,” said Metz on Monday, back in her home after spending three nights evacuated. “And it’s not just one or two. It’s unbelievable how disrespectful people can be. But what do you do? Put a sign up saying we have our family living here, please don’t throw your butts out?” While B.C. Wildfire officials continue to investigate the cause
of the Joe Rich fire, they have confirmed it was started by humans with speculation putting the blame on a thoughtlessly tossed cigarette butt. Crews from the ministry of forests are continuing to work on the mop-up stages at the scene of what was a 55-hectare fire that began quickly on Friday afternoon, racing from zero to its ultimate size in just a few hours. Dozens of firefighters will continue to work the blaze area for the next few weeks, hosing down hot spots and digging out tree roots that may still be burning. Ultimately, the area will be scanned from the air to see if hot spots remain before crews are cleared from the zone. As Metz and other area residents were returning home to survey the damage if any, charred smoke smell filled the air both outside and inside the Metz household. There were 142 homes evacuated during the blaze and more on evacuation alert. Luckily,
no structures were lost thanks to the combined work of the fire crews from the B.C. Wildfire Service as well as the Joe Rich Fire Department, which was first on the scene and worked to keep structures safe while forestry crews attacked the blaze from the ground and the air. In addition to local area firefighters, 60 firefighters from the B.C. Wildfire Service, along with eight air tankers and several helicopters worked the blaze on Friday, trying to stop its advance. At the Metz household, just a stone’s throw from the highway, the fire burned up from the highway and all around their house, but was kept off the main home and several outbuildings before continuing its run up the hills. “I don’t know how they did it but they saved everything,” she said. “They did a fabulous job. I was at work and saw pictures online and thought, ‘That is my lawn.’ “There were firefighters on our roof spraying everything down.
We were shocked that all of this was burning but our house was still standing.” As Metz surveyed the burned areas around her house Monday, a crew of 30 continued to work the fire from the perimeter in making sure nothing could flare up. After sparking up Friday afternoon, the fire quickly grew to its maximum size and wasn’t fully contained until Sunday morning as firefighting crews worked 24-7 on the blaze throughout the weekend. During those first couple of hours on Friday as the Joe Rich fire hall worked to save structures, initial attack crews from the B.C. Wildfire Service jumped on the blaze, digging trenches along the outskirts of the fire zone as it went up the steep hills in the area. Crews used the highway as one fire guard while the first initial attack crews split in two and started working up each side of the perimeter. “The initial attack guys did a

great job,” said Wayne Price, who’s Okanaganbased crew remained on scene Monday. “That’s a tough job because they’re digging trenches in a hurry. They did phenomenal work.” As the fire continued to burn into the late afternoon Friday, air support came in and hammered the flames down, supporting the ground crews. Firefighters continued to work through the night Friday to make sure it didn’t escape the
perimeter. Some evacuees were allowed to return on Saturday while the final evacuation alert was lifted Monday morning. For Metz, who never got the chance to return home while the fire was burning and instead stayed in a hotel with her family after being evacuated, her weekend was filled with thoughts of losing valuables but thankful that her family was safe. “We weren’t injured but it was just the photos and the memorabilia and the things that the kids made,” she said, noting that her seven-year-old was frightened and had a hard time seeing his home so close to the burn area when they returned. “We enjoy living here. It’s very peaceful and quiet and a nice area to live in. I don’t think we will pick up and relocate but we might do some things differently to be more prepared.” @KP_media1

Based near the turnoff to Predator Ridge Golf Course, the Vernon Fire Stalkers are one of seven 20-person unit in the Kamloops Fire Centre zone, ready to be deployed at any moment. With members from Kelowna, Lake Country and Vernon, the crew is the closest based unit to Kelowna. So it was no surprise they were one of the first crews to respond to the Huckleberry Fire in Joe Rich on Friday and remained on the scene in a mop-up capacity until Monday. “I love this job,” said Kelowna native Azi Sadi, 24, as he worked a hose hitting hot spots in the fire zone. “It’s very teamoriented. Everyone works hard with a good attitude. When you have 20 guys working together and working hard you can really accomplish a lot.” When the B.C. Wildfire Service first received numerous calls about the fire along Highway 33 on Friday afternoon, it immediately deployed two of its three-member initial attack crews as well as air tanker support. First on the scene was the Joe Rich Fire Department followed by the initial attack crew, which was flown in by helicopter. When Sadi and the Vernon Fire Stalkers
One of many cigarette butts along the Highway 33 roadside where the Huckleberry Fire initially started as a grass fire. arrived, they were tasked with digging hand-guard on the outside flanks of the fire—a two- to threefoot wide trench that goes as deep as it takes to get to mineral soil. “We were digging guard up the fire’s flanks, that’s hard work using our hand tools to dig a trench in the ground,” he said. “We had 10 guys on each side, digging guard. There was the Joe Rich Fire Department doing fire protection (on structures) and then the air tankers and helicopters arrived. “We rely on them as much as they rely on us. It was quite the air show. The first day was really intense.” The Vernon Fire Stalkers feature a wide range of ages and experience, from grizzled veterans with over 20 years experience, to young men like Sadi, in his second season fighting fires, looking towards a job as a city firefighter.
Also on scene on Monday watering down hot spots were students from Rutland Senior Secondary’s high school forestry program as well as an instructor. By Tuesday, the Fire Stalkers had been pulled off mop-up control and sent to another higher priority blaze in the province while contract crews (38 people on Tuesday) moved in to continue the mop-up exercise.

He’s been to Osoyoos in 40 C temperatures and already to Fort Nelson, Salmon Arm, Lake Country and Prince George. “It’s been a really busy summer so far. The last busiest year like this was 2009,” he said, adding the crews realize the importance of their job, especially when fighting a blaze in an interface area with nearby residences. “People’s property and homes and even the trees, everything matters. It’s quite strenuous. “You’re drinking 12 to 18 bottles of water a day. One thing about it is it doesn’t matter where you sleep, you get a quality sleep because you’re so tired.”

Back Pain Effectively Treated At Kelowna Clinic One third of the population suffers from chronic back pain, which impacts everything from quality of life to relationships and careers. Why is chronic pain so difficult to treat? First, each painful episode creates inflammation and scar tissue. Scar tissue has only 70% the strength of normal tissue, making it prone to re-injury. Scar tissue is not flexible, so with every movement comes more inflammation and scar tissue, leading to recurrences of back pain. Second, scar tissue alters the functioning of surrounding joints, reducing the nutrition getting to the joints (a major contributor to disc degeneration and joint arthritis).
to live with it. I want you to know that there is hope, that there is a highly successful, evidence-based treatment for many types of chronic pain. It is being used increasingly by orthopedic surgeons to stabilize their patients’ conditions and create longer lasting results and it has been used as an adjunct in my office for the past five years with success rates of up to 91%. This treatment is called Shockwave therapy (or ESWT) and while it was initially developed to break up kidney stones, it has been used for the past 20 years to effectively break up scar tissue, restore the function of the muscle and promote new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. It is effective on many conditions including (but not limited to) back, foot, and arm pain. Results are often experienced within a few visits; treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

Firefighting efforts prove costly
Volunteers step up to come to aid of fire evacuees
Tom Fletcher Contributor
Barry Gerding bgerding@kelownacapews.com
JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS
The B.C. government has spent more than $80 million so far this year battling forest fires, on pace for one of the worst fire seasons on record. There were 27 new fire starts reported in B.C. on Sunday alone, with 184 active fires being fought across the province and nine evacuation alerts and orders in effect as of Monday, affecting 800 homes. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the unusual early dry spell has provincial costs running ahead of 2003, where devastating fires at Barriere near Kamloops and in the Okanagan destroyed or damaged 238 homes and burned 12 wooden trestles in the Myra Canyon stretch of the historic Kettle Valley Railway. The 2009 fire season is the most expensive on record, with $382 million spent, compared to $375 million in 2003. Those years also saw prolonged

A tree-faller was killed Sunday while working on a fire on the Sunshine Coast, the latest reminder of the danger of firefighting. In 2010, two air tanker pilots were killed, and a helicopter pilot died fighting a fire in 2009. There is no budget limit for forest fire expenditures. While the costs have to be accounted for after the season, de Jong said he is
more concerned with the continued carelessness of people despite the financial and human costs. “I was driving down the highway yesterday and I saw someone throw a cigarette out of their car,” de Jong said. “Give your head a shake. I don’t know what is wrong with people who wantonly put other people’s lives and property at risk.” B.C. has often lent its experienced fire crews to other jurisdictions, but in
2009 more than 1,800 people were brought in from most other provinces, the U.S. and even Australia and New Zealand. That may be more difficult this season, with severe conditions across Western Canada. In Saskatchewan, where 12,000 people have fled their homes, Premier Brad Wall announced Monday that up to 1,000 Canadian Forces troops may be called in to help.
The process for establishing a reception centre for forest fire property owner evacuees has become a well oiled machine in the Central Okanagan. That is unfortunately due to a lot of experience dating back to the 2003 Okanagan Mountain Park Fire, and followed by several other major fires in the years since. That streamlined organization was evident again last Friday as the Huckleberry Fire began to endanger nearby houses in the Joe Rich rural area very quickly. What started as a grass fire around 2 p.m. on Friday, was racing up into the nearby trees and threatening nearby residences by 4 p.m., and the reception centre was up and running before 5 p.m., set up at the Willow Park Church on Highway 33 in Rutland. “Getting set up with the computer and phone equipment and all the

reception centre sectors set up can happen quite quickly. The main thing is getting the bodies in there to get it activated,” said Bruce Smith, communications manager for the Regional District of Central Okanagan and involved in the operation of the reception centre. Smith said the reception centre should be one of the first things people facing immediate evacuation think about after accounting for their own safety and that of their family—where is it located and the need to get registered. Some of the stress about “what do we do, where do we go” can be at least partially relieved through the information and financial resources available at the reception centre, Smith said. “Information about where the reception centre is located is sent out through the local media and also the emergency website (cordemergency.ca),” Smith said. “The volunteers who work at the reception centre are an amazing group of people there to do the job day in and
day out to help people who are displaced by an evacuation notice.” Smith noted that within an hour of the evacuation notice being issued, the reception centre was up and running, providing evacuees with vouchers for alternate accommodation, food and clothing. “This fire was a wake-up call for us this summer in the Central Okanagan,” Smith said. In a Facebook posting on Tuesday, the regional district also saluted the efforts of the fire departments in Kelowna, Ellison, Lake Country, West Kelowna, Big White and Peachland to assist the Joe Rich firefighters. “BC Wildfire Service air and ground support played a huge role in getting this blaze contained so quickly and RCMP, BC Ambulance and Central Okanagan Search and Rescue were also there to keep everyone safe. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure staff worked tirelessly to ensure everyone’s safety on area roads and along Highway 33,” said the posting.

KELOWNA MURDER
June stats show robust sales activity
Police calling discovery of dead body at Black Mt. house a homicide
The Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board says sales activity in June was the strongest in eight years. According to OMREB, sales overall were up five per cent from the same month last year and the housing market has shown an eight per cent improvement year-to-date compared to the same six-month period in 2014. The real estate board credited the B.C. economy, which it says is currently the best performing in the country with population growth, reinvigorated consumer confidence and pent-up demand key drivers of the real estate market as it bounces back to 2007 sales levels in most areas
of the province. “Strong consumer demand in the OkanaganShuswap has pushed home sales to an eightyear high and reduced days to sell to 72 days on average compared to 94 last year at this time,” said Christopher Miller, OMREB president and a Kelowna realtor. “Wellpositioned and wellpresented homes are continuing to sell quickly in the OMREB market. The robust demand is keeping inventories in check, with some segments experiencing relative shortages and sellers’ market conditions, particularly the lower priced detached units.” Within OMREB’s three market areas—the
Central Okanagan, North Okanagan and ShuswapRevelstoke—sales activity and prices, as well as supply and demand vary among property types at different times and locations, with ups and downs experienced zoneby-zone and month-bymonth. OMRED says single family residential sales in the Central Okanagan area were up eight per cent compared to last June, while year-to-date totals improved by 13 per cent over the same six months last year. Property inventory is reported to be “tight” for all types of housing due to high buyer demand and not enough new listings to fill the need.

Kelowna RCMP were remaining tight-lipped Tuesday following the discovery of a 47-year-old man found dead inside a Black Mountain neighbourhood house. The body was found early Tuesday and the home, located on Feedham Avenue between Loseth Drive and Oswell Drive, subsequently cordoned off as a crime scene. Police were withholding the victim’s name pending notification of the next of kin, but online media reports indicated real estate records show the owner as Amardeep Singh Ahluwalia. Police did indicate they believe the dead man was the victim of a targeted incident at the Feedham Avenue home and that there is no danger to the public. Police are asking anyone with information to contact Kelowna RCMP. A tip line has been set up at 250-4706236 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-5477.

family home sales for the month improved by nine per cent compared to June 2014 and saw a whopping 17 per cent improvement year-todate as local buyers and Albertans moved to the area and snapped up houses in the $300,000 and under range. According to a January through May buyers survey, the majority of buyers in the region are families moving up or empty nesters and retirees downsizing. The survey showed 60 per cent of buyers came from within our OMREB area, another 15 per cent from Alberta and 10 per cent from the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island.

The picture was not as bright in the North Okanagan, where there was a 12 per cent dip in single family residential sales during June compared to last year and a nine per cent decline year-to-date. Coupled with the employment uncertainty and financial instability of oil patch workers who live in the area and work in Alberta, the softer activity may be attributed to the spike in sales last year at this time when this North Okanagan zone outpaced both the Central Okanagan and ShuswapRevelstoke areas resulting in the current lack of houses on the market and demand.

Green Party OK with a Liberal representing them in Ottawa Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com
If a group of KelownaLake Country Green Party members have their way, Green party voters in the riding will be casting ballots for a Liberal in this October’s federal election. The group is trying to have local Liberal candidate Stephen Fuhr represent both the Liberals and the Greens through what is being called a co-nomination. Faced with the likelihood that a Green Party candidate would not unseat incumbent Conservative MP Ron Cannan, the group, led by UBC Okanagan philosophy professor and Green Party member Dan Ryder, want to have Fuhr—already nominated by the Liberals—to represent both parties through a “contractual endorsement.”
It would mandate Fuhr to represent the views of local Greens, as well as Liberals, in all but confidence, charter rights and platform promise votes in the House of Commons should he be elected in Kelowna-Lake Country. The reason for the exceptions is that the Liberals have said they will be the only times the party will require its MPs to vote a certain way. The Greens do not have what are called “whipped” votes for its members. “This is a partnership but it is not being billed as an equal partnership,” said Ryder. Currently there is just one Green MP, party leader Elizabeth May. On Friday, Fuhr spoke at a meeting of Green Party members and according to Ryder pledged to support a more “beefed up”

position on environmental protections than his party has already advanced and to support the call for proportional representation for federal voting in Canada. But while there has been a great deal of work done organizing the attempt at co-nomination prior to the July 16 nomination meeting for a Green Party candidate in the riding, Ryder said a requirement by his party has thrown a wrinkle into the plan. Because a person running for a Green Party nomination must have been a party member for the previous six months, Fuhr cannot run directly as was originally envisioned. So the group is running

had been approved, with the knowledge of what he plans to do. Meanwhile, Fuhr said he is happy to represent the Greens as well as the Liberals, adding he feels the two parties share a lot of common ideas.
But he acknowledged that even with the support of Green voters, he will likely need to win over more votes from those who have voted Conservative or NDP in the past if he wants to unseat Cannan. But he said he feels he can do it and pointed to himself as an example of a disaffected Conservative. He said he had always voted Conservative prior to joining the Liberals and seeking that party’s nomination here. According to a website that tracks voter support in Canada’s 338 federal ridings— threehundredeight.com— in Kelowna-Lake Country, the Conservatives currently command 41.8
per cent support, the Liberals 23 per cent, the NDP 20 per cent and the Greens 12.6 per cent. Ryder said when the co-nomination idea first sprang up, the NDP and the Liberals were approached but the NDP was not interested. Recent national polls have shown growing support for the NDP across Canada. Ryder said he was confident a conominated candidate could wrestle away what has traditionally been a Conservative/Reform riding from the Harper Conservatives and help to either defeat the current Conservative government or at least reduce it to minority status.
WATER STIRRED UP
Turbidity keeps Ellison water on advisory notice Some 400 residences within the Ellison area, east of Old Vernon Road, will have to continue to put up with a water quality advisory. As a precaution, with input from Interior Health, the Glenmore-Ellison Improvement District wants to raise awareness about the elevated turbidity levels and poor water quality conditions which are typical within the Mill Creek water source system during the summer months. Water treatment and disinfection is being maintained throughout the distribution system and water quality is being closely
monitored by GEID staff, according to John Bartell, manager of engineering and operations. Any properties under the water quality advisory notice have water that is considered FAIR due to elevated turbidity (cloudiness in the water). For FAIR ratings, Interior Health recommends that children (up to 12 years of age), the elderly and people with weakened immune systems boil their water for one minute or seek a safe alternative. See www.glenmoreellison.com for more detailed information about water quality
safety measures. In a news release, Barton stated: “It is important to note that GEID customers in the Glenmore area receiving water from the new Okanagan Lake intake via the McKinley Reservoir have attained significant water quality improvements in recent months. However, the current (water quality advisory) remains in effect. No advisory is in effect for properties serviced by the McKinley Landing water system.” For more information, call the GEID office at 250-763-6506.

Second annual Empty Fridge Campaign underway Alistair Waters Hunger doesn’t take a vacation. That’s why the Kelowna Community Food Bank says it is committed to making sure the community’s most vulnerable families have the nutrition they need throughout these summer months. But it needs your help. So the food bank has teamed up with World Financial Group and set up “empty fridge” collection spots outside two busy Kelowna-area liquor stores. The Empty Fridge Campaign will run through July on Fridays and Saturdays at the Mission Park and Dilworth BC Liquor Stores. Volunteers will be on hand to collect donations to help fill the food bank’s fridges. Last year, during the inaugural campaign, a total of $17,000 was raised, including matching pledges from WFG. This year, the goal is $40,000 including matching pledges front the financial advice company. According to the food bank, more than 2,500 people rely on it every month and 33 per cent are children under the age of 15. “It takes a mountain of food and an army of

H20 staff step in as lifesavers A regular visit to Zumba class could have had a tragic ending for a Kelowna resident had it not been for the actions of staff at H2O Adventure + Fitness Centre. Sharon Flanagan went into cardiac arrest and collapsed near the end of an afternoon Zumba class, back in November, prompting three lifeguards and other H2O staff members to spring into action to revive her. “I don’t remember anything,” recalled Flanagan. “I looked up at the clock near the end of the class and thought, I am just going to grab my stuff before I pick up my daughter from child minding, and the next thing I knew I was waking up in the Kelowna General Hospital. It is a scary situation to hear a doctor say that if I didn’t have an AED on me within 10 minutes that would have been it.” Four YMCA staff members—Scott Fellhauer, Alyssa Christie, Marte Volk and Braeden Wallace— rushed to the scene as soon as they were alerted to the incident. Fellhauer immediately began cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR), while the others made sure oxygen was administered, and the automated external defibrillator (AED) was put into motion. “The AED prompted us to shock right away,” said Fellhauer, a YMCA Lifeguard of over six years. “We continued to do CPR for a while and the AED prompted us to shock again.” After several ups and downs, Flanagan’s heart eventually returned to its normal rhythm and she started to breathe on her own again. She was then transported to hospital by ambulance. “It is really emotional,” said Flanagan with tears in her eyes. “If it weren’t for this really awesome group of people, I wouldn’t be here. I don’t think there is anything I could possibly say or do to ever repay them and I think they should all be so proud of themselves.” The YMCA staff involved received a commendation from Lifesaving Society at an annual awards banquet, held in Vancouver this past June, which prompted a standing ovation from the crowd.

Opinion OUR VIEW
Heed the forest fire warning this summer Through the efforts of a lot of hardworking BC Wildfire Service attack crews and local firefighters, the potential damage left behind by the Huckleberry Fire in Joe Rich was amazingly scant. In hot, dry conditions, the fire started out as a Highway 33 roadside grass fire, and took off up the north slope of the highway into the trees. A quick response with air support and ground crews kept the actually fire damage to a minimum, a relief to more than 150 property owners evacuated and equal number on evacuation alert last Friday. The BC Wildfire Service has been hesitant to directly blame the fire’s cause on a discarded cigarette butt, confirming only that it was human caused. But area residents, and speculation in the media over the past four days, has largely centred around a cigarette being flicked out the window of a passing vehicle. To think that for all the stress and anxiety of the homeowners impacted by this fire, not to mention the allocation of resources and placing ground crews in harm’s way to fight the blaze, could be caused by an errant toss of a cigarette butt is equally frustrating and careless. It’s also not surprising given the common practice of smokers to toss their butts onto the ground without a second thought. Take a walk around downtown Kelowna and that becomes readily evident. Watch smokers driving around the city and it’s clear as a bell. It’s a habit that, done at the wrong time, at the wrong place, can be disastrous. We’ve been warned by last weekend’s fire in Joe Rich. It doesn’t need to happen again.

Yellow may be the colour Liberal wears I haven’t seen any federal Canadian City political party adopt Confidential yellow yet as its prominent colour. ALISTAIR But if KelownaWATERS Lake Country Liberal candidate Stephen Fuhr is successful in becoming the “co-nominated” candidate representing both the red-clad Liberals and Green Party, he may want to think about it given yellow is the colour you get when you mix red and green. In an interesting move, a group of Greenies has decided that unseating long-time Conservative incumbent Ron Cannan in this October’s federal election is too big a task for a Green candidate alone, so it is seeking the help of another. And it has turned to Fuhr to represent both parties— that is if enough other local Green Party members agree at the July 16 nomination meeting. And even then, the complicated process of having another party’s candidate be your candidate won’t be easy for those behind the scheme. To do it, the co-nomination forces will have to get another man, Green Party member Gary Adams, nominated so he can step down and let Fuhr carry the political football. Complicated? Yeah, and then some. And what about all the questions that its raises? As the Liberal candidate, when does Fuhr put Green views ahead of Liberal views? His party says it will only require him to vote the Liberal way on confidence, constitutional and platform pledge issues. But it’s that last one that could be problematic. The Liberals and Greens may have a lot in common but their election platforms won’t be the same. So, if Fuhr has to vote with his party on Liberal platform promises, where does that leave representation of Green

Party promises should he be elected? And, is it fair to all the Green guys and gals who want a candidate who represents their party’s point of view during both the election and beyond if Fuhr wins? Estimates of support here show the Conservatives have more backing than the Liberals and Greens combined so this co-nomination plan is going to need a little help from elsewhere to win the ultimate prize—a seat in the commons—even if Green Party nominating voters go for it. Of course Fuhr loves the idea of co-nomination, why wouldn’t he? More votes for him can only be a good thing, right? He is running for office after all. In Canada, each federal election is actually a series of individual separate elections. There is no big, single vote like there is in the U.S. for president. Voters in Kelowna-Lake Country upset with Prime Minister Stephen Harper have no say in whether he gets back into Parliament or gets to be the leader of the Conservative Party. That’s because Harper is not running here. We vote for one MP only. If that MP represents the party with the most seats, then we, in a very small way have helped elect a government. As intriguing as it may be to try and cobble together a “contractual endorsement” to represent two political parties in one, Green voters here deserve better. They deserve their own candidate who will express Green Party views exclusively and not defer to another party’s plan. It may be messy but in a democracy, one person gets one vote and anyone can run for office. That why government’s can win power with less than 50 per cent of the vote. And that’s why all political points of view deserve to be heard—whether the candidate is successful or not.

Wooing the bamboozled in election season To the editor: According to Statistics Canada, Kelowna’s unemployment rate for April was sunny at 4.1 per cent, a full point lower than it was before the recession. An inherent fault of the unemployment rate, however, is that it fails to count the “hidden unemployed” – the ones who don’t qualify for EI or whose benefits have expired, the discouraged workers who stop looking for work, the employees who are involuntarily working part-time or holding other precarious positions. The hidden unemployed are becoming legendary, not least because of changing EI eligibility rules. In September 2014, it was reported that more than 60 per cent of unemployed Canadians fail to qualify for benefits. As for the precariat, the CBC reported earlier this month that “even in the glittering horseshoe of Southern Ontario, barely half of working adults have full-time permanent jobs, and almost all job growth now seems only to expand the insecure work, the kind that has little prospect of outstripping inflation.”
Adding to the problem that about half the employed of Kelowna are grossly underemployed, the employment rate in our city is two points lower than it was in May 2008. There are fewer people employed today than before the darkest days of the financial crisis. That trend repeats at the national level. The government celebrates having created 1.2 million net new jobs since the recession, but this has not even kept up with population growth. Canada’s youth suffer in particular with an unemployment rate twice the national average. Since the recession, there has not been a single month where the youth unemployment rate was as low or the employment rate as high as before. Given the upcoming election in October, it’s not surprising the Conservatives are out to woo the bamboozled. MP Ron Cannan recently announced a new project through the Youth Employment Strategy meant to help 48 youth in Kelowna gain the skills and experience they need to get jobs. MP Dan Albas has announced a new national program to help veterans increase skills
training and enhance their employment opportunities. But the witting amongst us remember that it was the Youth Employment Strategy that suffered the deepest cuts when a promised $97 million went unspent last year at Employment and Social Development Canada. We remember the promised but unspent $1.1 billion for Veterans Affairs, which was also reallocated to general revenues. Indeed, we remember the $1.8 billion that was raided from EI funds and likewise reallocated in preparation for Budget 2015. We whistle at the sheer audacity of these reckless politicians who’ve made brand new spending promises for the unemployed after balancing the budget on the backs of our struggling sons, daughters, vets, wives, husbands and neighbours. As cheques change hands, glasses clink and voices become hilarious on the Conservative barbeque circuit this summer, we the unemployed and their justice-minded allies will be working towards the defeat of the Harper government this fall. Join us. Dianne Varga, Kelowna
Where does your traffic fine money go? By Norm Letnick Let’s say you’ve been caught speeding in a school zone in Lake Country. A police officer pulls you over and hands you a fine for $196. This is not how you wanted to start your day. But have you ever wondered what happens to the money you and thousands of other British Columbians pay to resolve traffic tickets every year? You might be surprised to learn a portion of your fine comes back to Lake Country twice a year in the form of a grant to fund policing initiatives and community safety projects. Lake Country, Kelowna and several other B.C. cities each received the second instalment of their annual grants last week from the province’s traffic fine revenue sharing program. Kelowna received just over $1.1 million for a three-year total of more than $3.6 million. Lake Country received $59,950, bringing its three-year total to $210,094. That’s not all. As a community with a population of less than 20,000, Lake Country also qualifies for a twice-yearly Small Community grant. Since March 2013, Lake Country has received $780,551 in Small Community grants, including $222,372 in last week’s instalment. These two grant programs are a blessing for local governments because they pay for needed municipal projects without burdening local taxpayers. Here’s how they work: • Traffic Fine Revenue funding comes
from ticket fines and court-imposed fines on violation tickets. The program returns 100 per cent of net traffic fine revenues to communities that are responsible for policing costs. Traffic Fine Revenue funds must be spent on enhancing community safety and policing. • The Small Community grant program provides unconditional grants, meaning local governments can spend the funding according to their needs and priorities. The grants apply to communities with fewer than 20,000 people and are used for infrastructure, administration and delivering services. There is a third grant program as well. Regional District grants are also applied twice a year and, like Small Community grants, are unconditional and can be spent however each regional district sees fit to assist with administration costs. The Central Okanagan Regional District received $88,781 from the program last week. Since 2009, the Traffic Fine Revenue, Small Community and Regional District grant programs have provided more than $792 million in funding to communities throughout B.C., to help pay for local projects. For example, they have helped the RCMP pay for a school liaison officer for George Elliott Secondary School in Lake Country, and assisted the Kelowna RCMP in hiring extra officers. The grants also help communities pay for initiatives such as municipal road projects, recreational infrastructure, restorative justice programs and more. Unlike other grants that earmark funds for a specific purpose, these grants can be
used at each community’s discretion on local projects that might otherwise go unfunded. Our government understands there is no cookie-cutter formula for addressing municipal priorities. These programs allow local decision-makers to fund needed local projects that build safer, stronger communities – without draining local coffers. It’s a winning formula I am proud to be part of. Norm Letnick is the Liberal MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country.

news _____________________________________________________________________ They’re back with watchful eyes trained for dogs on beaches, parks and people-friendly trails and corridors across the Central Okanagan. But dogs and their owners need not fear. That’s because the Regional District of Central Okanagan Dog Ambassadors are equipped, not with ticket books, but treats, leashes and information to help dog owners. “Our dog ambassadors were so hugely popular last summer that we’ve brought the program back to provide a positive connection and useful information to reward and promote responsible dog ownership in the Central Okanagan,”
said regional district spokesman Bruce Smith. “They’re not out to enforce any rules. Instead, they’re there to gently remind dog owners about the Responsible Dog Ownership Bylaw and how to be a respectful neighbour.” The regional district’s two dog ambassadors, Smith says, are a resource for dog-oriented information for both resident and visiting dog owners. “Watch for them in their bright fluorescently coloured shirts. They’ll be cycling and walking in popular parks, trails and areas where hordes of people gather from Lake Country to Kelowna, West Kelowna and
Peachland.” The dog ambassadors are armed with information on dog beach locations, leashed and off-leash parks as well as local vets, groomers and kennels, Smith says, “They’re also reminding dog owners about the benefits of licensing their dog, including the My Dog Matters rewards card program. More than 50 businesses are now participating and offer a variety of services and special discounts to dog owners showing their rewards card. You can check out the businesses at mydogmatters.ca,” Smith said. During the summer, more dog control officers will be on patrol. All dog owners in the Central Okanagan are reminded that they must have a current license or they’ll be subject to a $300 fine under the responsible dog ownership bylaw. There is zero tolerance for unlicensed dogs in the Central Okanagan. Dog owners who fail to pick up after their pet could face a fine of $150. For information about dog licensing, responsible dog ownership and what to do if you find a dog, check out regionaldistrict. com/dogs.

Gas pump pain may come with greenhouse gas guilt Jeff Nagel Contributor
The pain drivers feel at the pump from high gas prices may soon also come with a jolt of shame for helping destroy the planet. A proposal gaining momentum with civic leaders in B.C. would see
guilt-inducing climate change warning labels slapped on all gas pump handles. The non-profit group Our Horizon has been advancing the concept on the basis that warnings that graphically show the damage from climate change could nudge motorists to cut their

emissions. It’s inspired by cigarette package warnings that are credited in the decline of smoking and the example warning labels circulated by the group are similar in design. “Warning: Use of this fuel product contributes to ocean acidification which puts much marine life at risk of extinction,” states one label that comes with images of thriving and dead coral. West Vancouver council will bring a resolution before the Union of B.C. Municipalities in September asking the province to make the pump labels a requirement provincewide. City of North Vancouver council voted to endorse the idea June 15 and it doesn’t want to wait for a provincial government decision. “We’re going to try to go it alone,” Mayor Darrell Mussatto said, adding North Vancouver still must investigate the legalities. “We think it’s the right thing to do.” Our Horizon B.C. campaigner Matt Hulse said he believes any municipality could make gas pump labeling a condition for gas stations in its local business licence bylaw. But West Vancouver Mayor Mike Smith, a longtime petroleum distributor in the region, said he doesn’t want to take the risk that a unilateral municipal
requirement gets challenged in court. “I personally hate spending public money on legal fees,” he said, adding his city will wait for provincial policy. Smith said he will vote in favour of his council’s resolution at UBCM. “It’s just a way of reminding the public that there’s a cost to be borne for using petroleum products,” Smith said. “Nobody’s advocating banning them. But you should be aware when you fill your car up that there’s an effect on the climate and on the environment of doing that.” He called the suggested labels innocuous and doesn’t believe the oil industry would object. No jurisdiction in Canada has yet made pump warning labels a requirement. Hulse said the labels would help make the routine act of filling up the tank a choice to be considered more carefully. “It places responsibility right in the palm of your hand,” Hulse said. If the concept takes off, he said, specific impact wording and imagery could be developed to tailor the labels to each area. “In the Lower Mainland it might be sea level rise, flooding, smog—any number of things—and it might be different in the Interior of B.C., where it might be forest fires and pine beetles,” Hulse said.

Becoming an entrepreneurial champion
Sarah Clarke learns about having fun in the kitchen through the Camp OC Mini Chef Academy.
SUMMER FUN FOR KIDS
Mini chefs whip up treats at Camp OC Hot dogs don’t cut it for today’s young foodies. Camp OC’s Mini Chef Academy is all about going gourmet—and having fun in the kitchen. More than 1,200 students are registered this year for Camp OC, Okanagan College’s summer camp for children and teens, now starting its second week. From Extreme Survivor Challenge to LEGO Robotics to game programming using Minecraft, more than 100 programs are scheduled from now until Aug. 28 at Okanagan College’s Kelowna, Penticton and Vernon campuses. Kelowna Mini Chef academy instructor Shandrea Tesoriere says her goal is to have students try new things. Besides introducing campers to less common treats such as dragon fruit, Tesoriere incorporates valuable lessons into the culinary fun. “I want them to learn measurements, math and the vocabulary. Today they learned what sauté means,” Tesoriere said. “It’s also about learning that sometimes the recipe doesn’t work out and that’s okay.” Sarah Clarke, 8, counts smoothie popsicles among her favourite treats made so far. Cooking for Sarah is all about getting her hands dirty, or in the case of rolling chocolate and coconut balls, sticky. “It’s fun,” Sarah said, “And after you’re done you get to eat a lot.” Space is still available in some courses. To find out more or register, visit the Camp OC website okanagan. bc.ca/campoc.
In the entrepreneurial world, what makes a champion? Is it an unrelenting attitude, belief in yourself, focus and determination? Being a strong business competitor who never quits, never surrenders? A true champion is often thought of as one who would rather fall down while striving and exerting maximum effort, than to sit down because they are tired. The same attitude and characteristics also describe the successful entrepreneur. Although it may appear sometimes that there is little hope, you must remain hopeful. There is always something to be learned from past experiences, something that we can reach inward for that will furnish the drive and inspiration to prevail when we feel as if our entrepreneurial dream might be slipping through our fingers. There will always be that quiet temptation to quit, go back to a job and escape, but the serious entrepreneur realizes that during those disconcerting moments the champion awaits to rush forth, just ahead, sometimes obscured by the next curve or dip in the road. Though often unseen, triumph awaits the champion entrepreneur— just over the hill. The winner knows in their gut that they will find a way to prevail in

THIS SPECIAL EVENT IS IN SUPPORT OF
Entrepreneurial Spirit JOEL YOUNG their current course of action or will indeed change course as many times as is necessary leading to the victory lane. This winning attitude of a true entrepreneurial champion is expressed so eloquently in the old adage: “I cannot do anything about the wind, but I can adjust my sails.” To quit is simply not an option for the vast majority of entrepreneurs. So let’s look at this from the perspective of defining an entrepreneurial hero. For some, a hero represents a person who lives up to age-old values such as honesty, integrity, courage and bravery.
For others, a hero is someone who is steadfast and sets a great example to emulate in the future. It is then said that every society has and needs heroes. They reflect the values we revere, the accomplishments we respect and the hopes that give our lives true meaning. By celebrating our heroes, we honour our past, energize our present and shape our future. When we delve into a research mode, the typical path of the hero can be traced in all cultures through three stages. The first stage departs from the familiar and comfortable into the unknown, risking failure and loss— a venturing forth for some greater idea or purpose. The second stage is the
encountering of hardship and challenge and the mustering of courage and strength to overcome or discover. The final stage is the return to the community at large (the society) with something new or better than what was there before. Ultimately, it is the entrepreneurial hero that is the representative of the “new”—the founder of processes or products that make people in their communities and the world better off. What we may contend is that in our modern era, the wealth creators, the hero and champion entrepreneurs, actually travel a heroic path and are every bit as bold and daring as the heroes who fought dragons and overcame evil in our fictional tales of yesterday. In many heroic journey, the entrepreneur is venturing forth from a
world of accepted ways and norms. They then assert that there is a better way and they will find it. Believe me, I have met many people with those characteristics here in the Okanagan. They are alert, watching for new opportunities to change the status quo, and often through failure develop a better than average sense of timing, learning to balance patience and immediate action. Entrepreneurial champions possess these same heroic characteristics. Most winners are also further inspired by tales of other winners and their successes against all odds.

Coming Home Owning a home is an important part of the Canadian dream. Your home is your sanctuary, a deeply private and personal space that is protected by law. Usually it is the major asset of a marital estate. A family home is where shelter is found and children are raised. When the family is grown and gone, couples often acquire a new castle in which to spend their golden years. Canada is filled with homes for sale; but how do you find the right home? For many years, award-winning realtor, Eva Gay Jennings, invited customers to trust her; to believe that she could find them a home. Eva was known for her honesty and integrity. She counseled her clients carefully. She worked hard to ensure that her clients would not buy a home they could not afford. Eva went the extra mile for her clients because she understood what it meant to buy a home. She knew that her clients would have to qualify for, and then sacrifice for their home. Eva understood that her clients would have to prove to the seller, and the bank providing financing, that they were qualified to purchase the home. They had to prove they had the cash down payment, that they had an excellent credit history. They had to prove a good employment history and prospects for continued employment. She also understood that her clients had to make great sacrifices in order to keep that home: monthly mortgage payments had to be made on time; property taxes, utilities and insurance had to be paid every year; the building and surrounding grounds had to be maintained and eventually refurbished; household appliances, furnaces, air conditioners had to be maintained and eventually replaced. Many took pride in their homes. Fixing, repairing, refurbishing and renovating their castle was a labor of
love for them. Most filled their home with furniture and other precious treasures of every description. They made this great effort knowing that one day they would have to sell and leave their sanctuary. Someone else may have moved in, but one day it would be knocked down to make room for something new and exciting. The furniture and treasures they worked so hard for will end up in a thrift store and eventually the dump. This brief reflection on the fate of our family homes leads inevitably to reflection on our own fate. Like our homes, one day life in our bodily temple will come to an end and our body will return to the dust from which it came. Eva Jennings’ life in her bodily temple came to an end in May of this year. Family and friends gathered for a service to celebrate her life. In the midst of this celebration this question gripped the minds of many: “Is my grave my final home?” Let me tell you what Eva believed: Jesus said: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:1-4, 6). Jesus told Eva not to worry about the end of her life. He called her to believe that there was a new body for her and new home for her. Jesus made these promises on the night before the first Good Friday. He first communicated these promises to a group of eleven men, one of whom would deny knowing Jesus that very night, and all of whom would run and hide in order
to save their lives. Three days later these same men would refuse to believe eyewitness testimony that Jesus had risen from the dead. Yet, Jesus promised eternal life in a heavenly home to these men. Jesus declared to his disciples, and to Eva, that gaining possession of their heavenly home was not at all like their earthly home. They were not dealing with a seller who was motivated by gain; rather, God so loved them that he gave His one and only Son so that they should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16). They would not have to prove their worthiness for a room in their heavenly home, nor would they be required to make personal sacrifices as a condition of their occupancy permit. Jesus had paid the price for their occupancy permit. Falsely accused of the crime of Blasphemy (confessing he was the Son of God and had the power to forgive sin), he suffered on the cross and died for their sins and paved the way to their new home by his resurrection and ascension into heaven. This is what is required: Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” Come to God’s house at 1162 Hudson Road, and experience God’s love in Jesus at 9:00AM and 10:30 AM on Sunday mornings. You may find that you are coming home. In Christ Pastor Ed

CENTRAL OKANAGAN
Make life a beach in your own home There is something so serene, inviting and unsullied about beachy-feeling interiors— bright, ‘white-fresh’ with nubby textures, pops of rich and vibrant accent colours, watery glass infusions, woven sea grasses and chunky wooden accents. If you never have the chance to live in a Malibu beachfront property, certainly you can create a home where the eccentricities and inspiring elements of coastal living come to you. Pearly Whites Some of the calmest and most inviting spaces have been designed around monochromatic colour schemes of linen, pearl, cream, tan, platinum and white. When mixed together and layered intelligently throughout a room, a monochromatic scheme can be exquisite

and surreal to work with. The key point is to add texture in monochromatic spaces—the more the merrier—so spaces don’t fall flat or become dull. And stick to either warm or cool tones; mixing the two creates too much contrast and you lose the effect that

all successful tone-on-tone spaces have. Tempting Turquoise One of my absolute favourite colours—I’m crazy in love
with turquoise. When adding this delicious hue, you might add splashes with the following: eclectic stitching on white toss pillows, a loopy wool throw over the
back of a sofa, oversize glass vases as center pieces a dining table, as accent colours in art cards on display. Weave this sensual shade into an otherwise ‘safe’ colour scheme for ocean-inspired pop and flare. Mirror Mirror Not just for this style, but in general, mirrors open up any room by reflecting light and creating virtual airiness. Mirrors in unexpected areas give coastal spaces a playful charm and I say use them to your full advantage. Group them in a collage for a unique focal piece, stand one up in a darker corner, place a pair above each night stand in your bedroom. If there’s open wall space, you can find creative ways to integrate mirrors.
CONTRIBUTED
Grass, Glass and Stone By using these natural elements and you can’t fail. Here’s why: Mother Nature
never gets it wrong. Bringing in combinations of these organic materials, you are completing your spaces with the depth and breadth found in your natural surroundings. Exotic grasses in tall floor vases fill up empty corners perfectly and add height in areas where furniture feels too ‘low.’ Beach glass jars, vases, bowls, plates—you name it, group simple combinations of these on shelves or window sills to catch the light and create shimmer. River rock, pebbles, shale and slate are just a few examples of stone you can bring into your homes. You’d be surprised at what you can do with the simplest of materials. Bring On The Bowls You might not think of it at first, but drilling holes through bamboo trays or wooden gourds, poking nails through woven baskets, or even gluing hooks to the backs of decorative bowls
April 6 - June 20
can help you to create the most unique and out of the ordinary wall art. Just because it was designed to sit on a surface doesn’t mean it won’t look incredible hanging in a hallway or as a feature over a mantle. Adding texture to your walls is just as important as adding it in your furniture and accent pieces for a truly well-rounded and inviting space. Everyone has their own tastes and style when it comes to design and home decor—the beauty lies in being able to dip from one to the next and blend certain elements for a look and feel that’s all your own. When in doubt this summer, coastal simplicity might just be the perfectly tranquil place to start.

GARDENING
Special family connection to flower show
The recent Kelowna Garden Club Flower Show at Guisachan was a success with numbers down a bit from the heat but the quality of the many entries superb. I can hold out my chest a bit after the judging came in because for the first time ever I won a blue ribbon for entering my Magnolia grandiflora blossom. Not only was it the winner in the Open Class but I won the big ribbon for the whole category. Thank you judges for your great wisdom—Lol. Anyway it is always nice to be recognized but I can tell you I’ve had fun entering the show on a few other occasions when I didn’t win and it was almost as fun. While I was at the show, I gave what has now become my traditional walk and talk in the garden. It is a chance for me to recall some childhood memories and also test my brain on plant names. What a pleasure to have Ian Cameron, the great grandson of W.C. Cameron who purchased the ranch and home in 1903,
From The Ground Up DON BURNETT join the group for an informal chat about his boyhood days on the property. It is Ian’s grandmother Elaine Cameron who developed the gardens and looked after them until she passed away in 1976. The Central Okanagan Heritage Society refurbished the gardens in the mid-1980s and now is responsible for their upkeep. During the walk, I passed out the first announcement of the planned trip next May to the Chelsea Flower Show in London, England. This will be a gardener’s trip of a lifetime on July 15. I will be doing a presentation at Bylands Nurseries describing the trip and delving out all the information you need to make plans. This is going to be so much fun and my friend Mark Flanagan who just happens to be a
head gardener for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, is so excited to be able to give us a personalized tour. We will see several gardens as we travel north through England and I’m hoping to be able to end up at the birthplace of Golf at St. Andrews in Scotland. Please join me at 11:30 a.m., Wednesday, July 15, for a presentation about the trip. The presentation will be held at Bylands Nurseries in West Kelowna, 1600 Byland Rd. You will hear about the latest plans for the trip and all the details so you can join me next May. Call Maria at Marlin Travel at 250-768-6875 to let us know you’re coming. *** This heat we are having is fantastic for tomatoes and cucumbers in the garden. For the first time in years, I have picked ripe tomatoes in June and my cucumber vines are growing three to five inches a day.
OF PRIME INTEREST
Pre-approval helpful
Your home is one the largest purchases you will ever make so it’s important to ensure you are getting proper guidance. Ask friends and family for referrals and if you are looking online check out reviews. A mortgage pre-approval is key. It not only avoids the disappointment of putting an offer on a home and not qualifying but also guarantees the rate for up to 120 days. A pre-approval will involve a credit consultation. If there are any issues with your credit they will be revealed and with the advice of a professional you can make a plan to improve your credit and work at achieving your goal. Rate is important but just as important are prepayment privileges and payout penalties. Once when you fully understand your options will the decision where to place your mortgage be made. Qualifying your income is one of the most important requirements in the mortgage process. Especially important if you are self employed or on contract, paid commissions or have bonuses or overtime. In order to utilize all your income, your mortgage broker has to be fully informed on where and how it comes to you. Be prepared to provide documentation confirming your income. You will be required to provide pay stubs or tax returns and CRA Notice of Assessments depending on your situation. You may also have to provide documents if you have cleared up any derogatory credit in the past. Always keep such documents. Your down payment funds must be from your own resources and most lenders will ask for a 90 day history to confirm. If you are unable to provide the history the funds may not be used towards your down payment. There are exceptions where the funds have been gifted from a family member. The giftor is required to sign a gift letter con-
firming they are gifting the funds and do not expect repayment. Other exceptions do exist and your mortgage professional will guide you through the process. An appraisal may be part of the process when you are purchasing or refinancing a home. If the appraised value does not support the value of the home you will either have to put more money down or renegotiate the price. Some lenders use an automatic evaluation in lieu of an appraisal. If the automated value comes up short the lender will ask for an appraisal. If you are purchasing a condo it is imperative that you review all condo documents. These provide you with the financial information with regards to the condo association. They will also reveal happenings around the condo, any upcoming renovations or special levies that could affect you. A special levy will mean cash out of your pocket and may be negotiated into the purchase price. Above all, do not rush the process. Allow yourself at least 10 days for a subject removal date once you have made an offer. Possession date should be at least 30 to 45 days from date of offer. If you’re mortgage is coming up for renewal, contact a mortgage professional up to five months prior. That gives you time to do the initial work and a pre-approval will hold the rate for up to four months. In times such as these when interest rates could increase at any time a pre-approval is one of the smartest options out there. Remember, you are making a huge commitment that will impact your lifestyle going forward. Avoid being pressured into quick decisions and be fully aware of your options.

Walking one of the safest exercise habits for seniors
As a form of exercise, walking is low impact, free and can be done anywhere. The Canadian physical activity guidelines for older adults (65+) recommends
accumulating at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week to achieve health benefits and improve functional abilities. The following are safe walking tips from the Peel
walk and roll program: • always plan your route out in advance and be prepared • choose a safe and familiar walking route that is smooth, flat and soft surface offers less

strain on your feet and joints. • don’t wander off trails • walk in places where you feel safe • dress appropriately for the weather and drink plenty of water • consider bringing a cell phone in the case of emergency • when it’s cold outside consider walking in an indoor place like a mall, arena or community fitness centre • consider if you’ll need to cross major streets with busy traffic—if you go alone make sure someone knows where you’re going and when you expect to return, and be aware of your surroundings
Fitness For Seniors BOBBI MOGER • keep your earphone volume low or wear and your earphone in only one ear • turn your music off in situations or places where you need to be alert • consider reflective or bright coloured clothing at night • walk in daylight or in well-lit areas • walk facing oncoming traffic if there is no sidewalk • make eye contact with drivers and obey all traffic laws
• be sure to wear appropriate walking shoes— low heeled footwear and non-skid are best • if using a walking aid like a walker or a cane be sure it is fitted to your height • take your time and avoid rushing as this can increase your risk of falling • stop and take frequent breaks if you’re feeling tired • stop walking if you feel any aches or pains • start slow, stretch your muscles and be sure to warm-up and cool down. It also can be helpful if you consider using a
pedometer, also known as step-counters, to count movements that your body makes, such as walking, jogging, running or jumping up and down. Each one has a type of mechanism in it that counts a step when the impact of your foot striking the ground is registered. Using a pedometer to help you measure your daily step count is an effective way to track your steps and stay on target.

Offering support for dementia caregivers Supporting a person with dementia who is living at home requires caregivers to get help from family and friends and to navigate the formal health care system. “People cannot travel alone on a journey with dementia,” said Carly Gronlund, the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s regional support and education coordinator. “Tapping
into a support network is vital.” To help the many Kelowna family caregivers do just that, the society brings its Accessing Services workshop to the city on Monday, July 20. Designed for local residents who are supporting a person with dementia, the free two-hour session will review strategies for accessing support through a variety
of sources in the community, from family and friends to the health care system. Accessing Services will run from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Alzheimer Resource Centre, 307-1664 Richter St. Pre-registration is required, by contacting Carly Gronlund at 250-860-0305 or cgronlund@ alzheimerbc.org.

Think of the impact of PST Food and Wine Writers’ workshop when buying a business then you are required to self-assess. If you don’t already have a PST number, you still need to self-assess using a Casual Remittance Return (FIN 405). The PST is due to be remitted on the last day of the month following the month that the purchase took place.

In this hot dry weather, water bills are rapidly escalating. Here are some tips to reduce your water use. General: Adjust sprinklers to avoid creating runoff or watering pavement and other hard surfaces. Set out empty, one inch tall cans (e.g. tuna) in the area to be watered. Time how long it takes to fill cans and observe where less water is being delivered. Make adjustments as needed. Put automatic irrigation systems on manual. Check one zone at a time. If your water meter is running when you are

Gardening with Nature GWEN STEELE When watering in the heat of the day much is lost to evaporation. Watering during wind is inefficient. Fine spray is especially vulnerable. It’s better to water less often for longer to encourage plants and turf grass to grow deeper roots, making them less vulnerable to drought. One inch is a good watering. Longer delivery time is better. It allows soil and plants to absorb the water. Food gardens need one inch/week during summer, less often in cooler weather. One inch of water, once per week is sufficient for lawns during hot, dry weather and less often in cooler weather. Lawns on clay soils need much less. If left unwatered (as in Vancouver) lawns go brown and dormant just Like our native grasslands. Once it cools down and rains, they green up again. Timers: Smart controllers (mini computers) can fine tune your irrigation by soil and plant type, adjust for weather, etc. For hose draggers like me, there are lots of options to attach to a tap and program to turn sprinklers on and off while we sleep or over a period when on holiday. Lawns: Leave clippings on the lawn. This creates
a closed loop system. Nitrogen and nutrients in the clippings break down to become fertilizer for the lawn and help retain moisture. Leave grass two to three inches tall. It will be healthier and need less water. Taller grass shades the soil, reducing evaporation, and shades weed seeds making it harder for them to germinate. Don’t fertilize. Fertilizer speeds growth making turf more water-thirsty— and increasing mowing frequency. Instead, spread a half to one inch layer of organic mulch such as Nature’s Gold, Classic Compost or Glengrow over the lawn in spring and/or fall to improve water retention. A spring application will provide all the fertilizer the turf needs over the whole growing season. Sign up on www. makewaterwork.ca to take the pledge to reduce your water use and be eligible for prizes including a grand prize of approximate retail value of $6,000 worth of irrigation audit, irrigation improvements or waterwise plants.

Poring over résumés for one of the organization’s most important roles was one of the last duties Bruce Hamilton expected to be performing this summer. As it is, the Kelowna Rockets’ president and GM is in the process of searching for a new head coach for his defending Western Hockey League champs. Dan Lambert, who spent one season at the helm of the Rockets, left the club this week to take on an assistant coaching job with the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres. “I’d by lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed, but I’m very happy for Dan that he’s moving on, “ Hamilton said. “It would have been great to keep him around another year or two, I think he could have benefitTed from a little more time here, but the allure of the NHL was there for him. “We’re in the business of moving people on and certainly aren’t going to stand in his way. I wish Dan well in his new job.” There has been no shortage of interest for what has to be considered one of the top jobs in the Canadian Hockey League.
Hamilton said he has already had more than 40 applications, and hopes to have a shortlist of four to eight candidates by next week. Hamilton added that Rockets assistants Kris Mallette and Travis Crickard won’t be considered for the job due to lack of experience, as both were rookies on the team’s staff last season. Hamilton is confident he will be able to hire a qualified coach who will carry on the standard the Rockets have set over the last decade-plus. “There are lots of people who would love to have this job and we’re going to be diligent in who we select,” Hamilton said. “We don’t need a culture change here, we need someone who will come and fit into the process we already have in place. Certainly a coach with his own ideas is welcome, but we don’t need shock therapist. There’s no reason to change what we have going here.” Lambert, who guided the Rockets to within a goal of the Memorial Cup title this spring, didn’t take his decision to move on lightly. “This was a decision that was very difficult to make,” Lambert
AARON BELL/CHL
Résumés rolling in for coaching job
Kelowna Rockets head coach Dan Lambert has left the WHL club to join the coaching staff of the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres. said Monday in a press release. “I’d like to thank Bruce Hamilton and the Hamilton family, and Lorne Frey for giving me an opportunity six years ago to become part of the Rocket family. “I would like to thank Ryan Huska, Kim Dillabaugh, Kim Gellert
and Ryan Cuthbert for the awesome working environment that was created in the coach’s room. And to all the staff for my first year as a head coach. What a run we had.” Hired in 2009, Lambert spent six seasons with the Rockets, the first five
as an assistant to Ryan Huska. In his only season as head coach, Lambert led Kelowna to a 53-15-51 regular season record, the B.C. Division, Western Conference and Western Hockey League titles. At the Memorial Cup in Quebec City, Lambert
and the Rockets reached the championship game where they lost a heartbreaker, 2-1 in overtime to the Oshawa Generals. Lambert is currently in Buffalo attending the Sabres’ development camp. Lambert and new Sabres’ head man Dan Bylsma share a history, having played together in the International Hockey League for parts of three seasons during the 1990s. Bylsma also dropped in on the Rockets this past March to visit with Lambert and help conduct a number of the team’s practises. At the time, Byslma spoke of a mutual respect and rapport between the two coaches. “We’ve spent a lot of time conversing and talking about the game and coaching over the last three years,” said Bylsma. “I think at times Dan has called me as a guy that has coached a little longer than him and had different experiences. But at the same time I have talked to Dan and gotten his experiences and learned from him as a coach as well.” Hamilton said the Rockets are hoping to name a replacement for Lambert by the end of the month.
Wheaton traded to Blades…
In a move to help ease their over-age situation, the Rockets dealt defenseman Mitchell Wheaton to the Saskatoon Blades for a fourth round pick in the 2017 WHL bantam draft. The Sherwood Park, AB native was in his third full season with the Rockets but missed most of the 2014-15 season due to injury, playing in four regular season games and nine in the playoffs. “(Mitch) is going to get a fresh start with Saskatoon and we wish him well,” said Rockets GM Bruce Hamilton. “With our over-age situation (only being allowed to keep three) we felt this was a good move at this time for Mitch and for our team.” Wheaton played 100 regular season games with the Rockets with a career-best 28 points in 2013-14. With Wheaton’s departure, the Rockets are likely to have four 20-year-old players vying for three roster spots next season—Jackson Whistle, Tyson Baillie, Gage Quinney and Cole Linaker.
Deep recruiting class bolsters 2015 Sun Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
When a broken foot ended his 2014 season with the Simon Fraser Clan, Kyle Kawamoto made the trip to Kelowna last October to take in the B.C. Football Conference final. And while the 21-yearold receiver didn’t experience the acute pain from the sidelines, he still had a good grasp
of how every Okanagan Sun player felt following a 23-19 loss to the Langley Rams. Now, as an official member of the Sun, Kawamoto would like to help his new team take care of some unfinished business. “I watched these guys lose that game and I know how bad they all want it now,” said Kawamoto, as the Sun opened training camp on
the weekend in Kelowna. “I haven’t been around but I know these guys have been working towards getting back there again and getting it done this time. “I’m excited to join this team and try help them get what they want.” Kawamoto is one of the more than 30 recruits head coach Shane Beatty and his staff brought in during the off-season, many of whom the
Sun expect to make an immediate impact as starters in 2015. Kawamoto started all four seasons at SFU and this spring was on the CFL’s radar, earning an invitation to the regional combine in Edmonton. When the North Vancouver native was passed over last month in the CFL draft, he saw a summer in the Okanagan as the best alternative. “My name didn’t get
called like I hoped, so now I’m making the best of it,” said Kawamoto, who caught 19 passes in six games for the Clan last season before the injury. “I came (to the Sun) because of the culture, everyone I’ve met is great and it’s a good football environment. It’s a really good program and a good opportunity for me.” Another of the Sun’s highly-touted recruits is
Kent Lawrence, a 6-foot7, 255-pound defensive lineman who played last season at Reedley College in California—the same school where Beatty began his coaching career in 1995. Lawrence, who was born in Dawson Creek before moving to California when he was 10, is excited to be back in Canada. “I haven’t been (Canada) for nine years

and I didn’t know much about Kelowna, but it’s exciting for me,” said Lawrence, 19. “Shane has some coaching buddies down there, they gave him the heads up and thought it would be a good idea. I wanted a new setting, a new environment, a whole new experience. It was time for me to move and

FALCONS SURGING…
The Falcons are coming off one of the most successful road trips in recent memory. Kelowna won all three of their series south of the border last week and were 6-3 overall. Prior to this week’s games with Klamath Falls, the Falcons had gone 135, winning their last six series. On Monday, the Falcons defeated the Gems 7-6 to boost their 2015 record to 17-8. A score from Tuesday’s game wasn’t available at press time. Last year after 24 games, Kelowna was 7-17.
Former SFU receiver Kyle Kawamoto (left) and ex-Reedley College defensive lineman Kent Lawrence are among a strong corps of new recruits for the Okanagan Sun this season.
Scrimmages next 2 Saturdays SUN FROM A23 spread my wings. “This football team is motivated and I believe they have the drive to go all the way.” With the likes of Kawamoto, Lawrence, a handful of other blue chip recruits—led by 48 seasoned returnees—on the roster, Beatty can’t
help but be upbeat about the club’s potential this season. “It will take a few more days to evaluate, but we’re awfully athletic, we’re tall and we’re angular,” said Beatty, beginning his third season at the team’s helm. “We’ve got some smart football players, athletics and fast. The guys are
committed and ready to work hard, so we’re happy with how it look right now.” The Sun will hold scrimmages on the next two Saturdays, July 11 and 18. The Sun will then kick off the BCFC regular season Saturday, July 25 at home to the Westshore Rebels.

title season. As the women’s team wound up in a three-way tie with Alberta (and Trinity Western) last season, this date with the Pandas could very well be critical once again, as they dropped both contests in Edmonton last year. The last weekend for fans to circle on their calendars in bold has to be their second-last road trip when they visit the dynastic Trinity Western Spartans. The Spartan ladies are the reigning national champions, but with the departure of the legendary Alicia Perrin from TWU’s ranks, the middle is wide open for the Heat’s Katy Klomps to continue building her own legacy in the Canadian volleyball history books. UBC Okanagan will have home dates to bookend the season and bolster their endof-season chances at the playoffs, hosting the Mount Royal Cougars Feb. 19 and 20. The Cougars were the ones to snap the Heat women’s mid-season 13-game win streak. If the either Heat team qualifies for another playoff berth they will begin competition in the Canada West quarterfinals the weekend of February 26 to 28, barring a first-place finish and automatic bye to the Canada West Final Four.

As UBC Okanagan’s volleyball teams prepare for their fifth season in Canada West this fall, both the men’s and women’s squads will look to climb higher not only on the conference charts, but to also make a name on the CIS national map. The 2015-16 schedule features another 24game slate, a marathon compared to many other CIS sports but one which the Heat by now are well prepared for. The Heat women, their capacity to bring their game to the highest of levels no longer a secret, have their eyes squarely set on a fourth straight trip to the dance. The men, meanwhile, look to build upon the success of last season and continue their fight to breakthrough to the postseason for the first time in four years. Opening weekend is also the home opener for the Heat this upcoming year as the Regina Cougars visit town Oct. 16 and17. The first month of play will feature exclusively prairie teams as the Heat visit Saskatchewan and host the Winnipeg the following two weekends. The Heat squads will be on the road for most of November following
a bye for the first week of the month, first to Calgary and then to Brandon. The men’s team capped off their impressive sixgame streak last season versus the Dinos, and Jim Bell will likely try and up his 34 weekend kill total with an encore, this time at the Jack. They return for one of their marquee matchups of the year to host valley rival Thompson Rivers Nov. 27 and 28. A balance of twelve games in each semester paces the 2015-16 calendar, and the Heat will ring in 2016 with a tough road trip to Manitoba Jan. 8 and 9. The women’s matchup in particular promises to be a ferocious affair when the Bisons will no doubt try and avenge their Canada West quarters ouster to the same Heat squad last February in a 2-0 sweep. The last two weeks of play in January may be the toughest grind of all for the Heat, but they at least will have the home crowd behind them when they host Alberta followed by the UBC Thunderbirds on Jan. 15 and 16, and Jan.29 and 30, respectively. Alberta was the top team in the conference last season for both the men’s and women’s tallies, and the men’s squad is fresh off a CIS

KARGL, PETER & ELLA (WALD) Peter, born in Vienna, Austria, June 22, 1923 died tragically on June 30 at KGH on the same day after suffering a fall in his dream home. He just had celebrated his 92nd birthday on June 22nd with family. He is survived by his daughter Claudia Kargl, son-in-law Jim Gray and his grandson Christian Kargl-Simard (Toronto at Raymond James Ltd.). Peter was an avid gardener and considered his beautiful home and garden his island of paradise. He loved the mountains and his home country Austria where he obtained from the Technical University in Vienna a master’s degree in physics and a professional engineer designation. Peter was sharp as a fox until the very end and had a great mathematical mind. He was so proud of his grandson Christian who earned his professional engineer status from his studies at UBC. Peter met the love of his live Ella (Wald), born November 14, 1926 in Vienna, and they got married February 16, 1952. They left war torn Austria to start a new life in Canada with only two suitcases and $200 to their name. They embarked on their new life’s journey onboard a boat of the Cunard liner that set sail from Le Havre to Quebec City and then took a train to Montreal not knowing a soul. Through saving, sacrifice and commitment they built up their fortune starting with building a home in the countryside outside Montreal amidst a wildlife sanctuary of Mt. St. Hilaire on a street named after the famous Quebec painter, Ozias Leduc. Peter, working at Northern Telecom (Nortel), and Ella devoted their lives to bringing up their daughter in the field of music and piano performance. Ella enriched her multi-arts talents in custom design, culinary arts and painting. She was an artist with many “hats” and she pursued her love for painting at Concordia University with master classes with the famous painter Armand Tatossian. Ella was a passionate impressionist artist who found inspiration in nature and in the works of Van Gogh and the Canadian Group of 7 Painters. Her bold and vibrant textured oil paintings are in homes across Canada and also in USA, Austria and Germany as well as Claudia’s open to the public Ad Lib Gallery in West Kelowna. Peter was one of the leading founders in fibre optics and was very instrumental at the Calgary Olympic. Upon retirement in Calgary from Nortel, Peter and Ella found their dream spot, where they built their house, in West Kelowna overlooking the Okanagan Valley which reminded them very much of their favorite spot Millstadt in Carinthia, Austria. Both Peter and Ella were involved with SLR and Peter made several presentations as an SLR leader. Peter was awarded as an honorary member. Peter and Ella loved each other dearly and were soul mates until the passing of Ella on May 25, 2008 at the KGH after a long hard battle with cancer. Peter devoted his passion to gardening, growing organic produce in his vegetable garden and being very much involved with Kelowna SLR. He also enjoyed contributing and being involved in the popular SLR music appreciation courses that Claudia led. Peter had a passion for Austrian history, Classical music, piano performance and political and international affairs. Peter is now reunited with his beloved Ella and they can finally find eternal peace together. A private family ceremony is planned to celebrate their new journey at their requested final resting place in the Rockies. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com 250-860-7077.

Economy BEAVER RUB SEASONING
Straight From DeHart MAXINE DEHART This week’s column is dedicated to Ita Duncombe, who passed away last week. Ita and I worked together at the Scotiabank on Bernard Avenue in the late 1970s and have remained in touch and friends ever since. My personal condolences to her family and many Scotiabank friends. HBR Co. has introduced a truly Canadian food product that answers the question: Is Canada more than just maple syrup and poutine? Mark Hauptman, president of HBR Original Beaver Rub Seasoning, says yes it is, having produced a unique product with a distinctive Canadian flavour and packaging called Haupy’s Beaver Rub (HBR). It’s a versatile 12-ingredient seasoning that can be used as a rub on a variety of meats and also will liven up most any recipe. It’s a mildly spicy, burnt orange seasoning, with a cornucopia of flavours. Beaver Rub Seasoning is an addition to any recipe that you can use as a rub on beef, fowl, pork or fish. It’s also perfect in soups, sauces and marinades. HBR contains no salt or MSG. What it does contain is paprika, garlic, turmeric, fennel, coriander, ginger cinnamon, cumin, black pepper, cayenne, basil and dill. The Beaver Rub website makes online purchases easy at haupysbeaverrub.ca. As well, look on the
website for fun beaver facts, awesome recipes and assorted merchandise for sale. The product comes in a clever puck like container. It doesn’t get any more Canadian than that. Available at Urban Fare and select Overwaitea and Cooper’s Foods stores. After 24 years, Doug and Terry Gossoo, wellknown business owners of Prosign have decided to take a step back from the business and work on their golf games. In anticipation of this, they recently named their son, Jeff Gossoo, as general manager. Jeff has worked in the business for over 17 years, the last several as production manager, so clients will not see much change. Longtime employee Mike van Kesteren has been promoted to production supervisor and will oversee the fabrication and installation work as well as helping with scheduling. Doug will continue as president and Terry as secretary of the company, working a couple of days a week, mainly from their home office in support roles, notably continuing as a liaison with the

Mission are Iain Allan, president; Laurie Gaymer, past-president; Howard Peat, vicepresident; Ross Grimmer, secretary, Monika Grimmer, treasurer, Chris DeHart, Sergeantat-Arms; Lois Serwa, director and Steve Wolfenden, director. The incoming president for 2016-17 will be Irma Lux. The Rotary Club also gave out four awards
at a recent installation dinner that was attended by district governor Bruce Falkins (Donna) and district governorelect Vern Nielsen (Willy Burgess). The Colin Pritchard Service Above Self Award was presented to Dennis Gabelhouse, recognizing a Rotarian whose efforts go beyond Rotary. A new award, The David Hobson Memorial Award,
went to Ken Firkins, recognizing a member who over the years has exemplified dedication and commitment in the operation of the club. Rotarian of the Year, which is awarded at the discretion of the president, recognizes an individual who has made a significant contribution to the club. It was awarded to Ross Grimmer. The Club Service Award, made possible by Laurie Gaymer, was given to Ken Firkins, who has been outstanding in service to the club over the past many years. Ken Kilcullen, with Bell Media, was inducted as their newest member, transferring from the Rotary Club of Kelowna.

Mayor happy West Kelowna speeders got caught West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater couldn’t be happier with the results of the recent RCMP speed watch blitz. “We constantly receive calls and emails from residents about speeding in the community. It is a really significant safety concern for many people,” said Findlater. “Over the years we have added funding for RCMP reservists to conduct speed checks and spent
money on traffic calming in the community, and this speed blitz by West Kelowna Community Policing is a very welcome initiative indeed.” On June 25, West Kelowna’s community policing office coordinated a dozen volunteers from Peachland, Kelowna, Lake Country and West Kelowna to set up four community policing vans at speed watch locations in West Kelowna. The volunteers were supported

by six RCMP members and ICBC representatives. Rod Barrett, president of West Kelowna Community Policing, said a total of 1,986 vehicles were checked on June 25 at four locations: Carrington Road, Elk Road, Parkinson Road and Shannon Way. Volunteers recorded how many vehicles were traveling at least 10 kilometres per hour over the posted speed limit. The breakdown for the
number of vehicles recorded speeding were Carrington, 38; Elk Road, eight; Parkinson Road, 50 vehicles; and Shannon Way, 24. “We are really grateful to have had the RCMP presence at our blitz,” said Barrett. “West Kelowna RCMP Staff Sgt. Duncan Dixon is very supportive of West Kelowna Community Policing efforts and Sgt. Patti Cook of the RCMP Traffic Section arranged for us to have six RCMP officers available
during the blitz. It added credibility to our efforts and greatly helped us promote safe driving in the community.” Findlater added this particular speed blitz, backed by the RCMP, saw that real tickets were issued to offenders. “Many drivers, I am told, gave the volunteers a thumbs-up or wave in support of Speed Watch,” Findlater added.
