With temperatures holding ground at above 30 C for the next week, the business of helping Kelowna’s most vulnerable will remain a challenge. “It’s already been really busy,” said Sonja Menyes, manager of volunteers, at the Gospel Mission. “We are open 24/7 when the weather is this hot so people who need to cool down, can.”
Usually there are five hours of reprieve through the day at the downtown mission, so the staff and volunteers can prepare the small common area for the three meals they serve daily. Now the space is filled throughout the day, requiring extra volunteer manpower. The downtown facility is also taxed with the air conditioning running around the clock and resources, like bottles of water, now at a premium.

Building starts on Central Green
FESTIVE DOWNTOWN
Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com
Kelowna’s 2015 Canada Day celebration proved once again to be one of the biggest annual public parties held in the city. Organizers estimated the crowd that turned out to take in a myriad of events in Waterfront Park, at Prospera Place, in Jim Stuart Park and Kerry Park exceeded last year’s total of 60,000, with more than 25,000 more showing later in the evening to watch the fireworks display over Tugboat Bay. “I was really pleased,” said Renata Mills, executive director of Festivals Kelowna, which produced the 18th annual Celebrate Canada— Kelowna 2015 event. She said despite the large crowd, she did not hear of any problems during the day. “There was a cool, chill, Okanagan vibe out there,” she said. A Kelowna RCMP spokesman agreed. Cpl. Joe Duncan said there were only a few minor incidents reported —a few fights—but considering the large number of people out and about throughout the day and evening, the police were not kept very busy with the crowds. “There were lots of families out and, being on a Wednesday, there were not a lot of shenanigans,” said Duncan. Mills said city monitors told her the entire downtown core was
busier this year than last year, no doubt aided in part by the great weather. While it was sunny and hot, there was a cooling breeze blowing in off the lake for most of the day. In addition to the Celebrate Canada events, the annual Folkfest also took place in Prospera Place, featuring a dazzling display of multi-ethnic entertainment and food. Later, the annual Canada Day concert was held at the arena, featuring the pops orchestra annually assembled for the event. Mills said reports she received from her staff also said the newest addition to the Canada Day festival line-up, a partnership with the UBC Okanagan Students Union in Jim Stuart Park, was a hit also. The UBCOSU set up a stage that featured musicians, provided a free barbecue and held skateboard demonstrations. “All the feedback I received was that it was a wonderful partnership,” said Mills. “It was really neat to see a different vibe there this year.” With the larger crowd, movement through Waterfront Park was slow going at times, especially over the bridge that leads to the waterfront plaza area. Mills described the congestion as a “ bit of a choke point” and something organizers will look at when laying out next year’s event. Another possible move could be to expand the festival into City Park.

Ground has been broken on the latest affordable housing development for low- to moderate-income adults, seniors and families in Kelowna. The $16.6 million project is located on the Central Green property, which formerly housed Kelowna Senior Secondary. “Investments in affordable housing developments like Central Green make a real difference in the quality of life for singles, families and seniors in our community,” said Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran. “These 86 units ensure those in need have access to quality, affordable housing and can continue to be part of this vibrant and diverse community.” The project, located at 1745 Chapman Place, will provide 86 rental apartments, including 32 twobedroom units and eight three-bedroom units. The development will also feature a number of studio units which will be attached to larger units, offering seniors or young adults the option of living close to family. The B.C. government arranged construction financing of nearly $15.6 million for the project, while the city provided land valued at approximately $1 million. “Today, we are one step closer to the completion of the community’s vision for Central Green, ensuring that those in need remain integral and valued members of the community through increased access to affordable housing,” said Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick who, prior to being elected to the B.C. Legislature, served as a Kelowna city councillor. “We (in the provincial government) are delighted to have both the city and the Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society as partners on this development that will house up to 134 people.” Last year, the B.C. government invested over $10.7 million to provide subsidized housing and rent supplements for more than 3,000 Kelowna households. The Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society will manage the new four-storey wood-frame apartment complex. The society is a non-profit urban aboriginal organization that has provided a range of social services in Kelowna since 1974. The society serves the aboriginal and non-aboriginal community through programs such as health and wellness, family support, poverty law and housing support. It also operated the White Buffalo Lodge transitional housing project in Kelowna between 2010 and 2014. Central Green, which will include a full range of housing, will help set a new standard for development within the city, said Kelowna officials. According to city hall, it exemplifies sustainable planning and building practices in an economically responsible manner. Community engagement has been an integral part of the planning process for the Central Green Development since 2008 and one of the criteria for development was that it include some affordable housing. Construction of the affordable housing on the Central Green site is expected to be complete by next summer.

Optometrists stress need for UV ray eye safety bgerding@kelownacapnews.com
Wearing sunglasses in the summer is about more than looking fashionable. Especially for children, it’s more importantly about protecting your eyes from overexposure to UV (ultraviolet) rays. While considerable
attention is paid to the need to wear protective sunscreen to ward off potential skin cancer, optometrists are concerned the same focus is not placed on protecting your eyes. “While most people recognize the importance of sunscreen to prevent sunburns and skin cancer, many are unaware that
said, is recoverable but can be extremely painful while the eyelid skin is so thin it can become susceptible to cancer. Macular degeneration is a medical condition that usually affects older adults and results in a loss of vision in the centre of the visual field (the macula) because of damage to the retina. Strawn says 50 per cent of the damage to your eyesight occurs before
people reach 18, which is why optometrists want to make people aware of the destructive potential of UV ray damage. That means the damage to your eyes at 60 may have largely been initiated when you were a child. “That’s because kids tend to be outside more and their exposure to the sun is greater,” Strawn said. She explained direct sunlight can be a negative

adversary to a person’s long-time eyesight health, as can reflection of the sun off the water in the summer or the snow in the winter. “I always say if you can afford only one pair of quality sunglasses in your family, buy them for your kid and not for an adult. Kids are in the greatest need of protection,” she said. That’s due in part to the lens in a child’s eye not having the capability to filter UV rays compared to that of an adult. She says parents should be mindful of buying a cheap pair of sunglasses for $5 or $10 because of the limitations of the self-advertised UV ray protection. “On inexpensive eyeglasses, the UV coating is sprayed onto the outside of the lenses, so if you scratch or wash the lenses, it wears down that UV coating over time,” she said. “The more expensive sunglasses have that coating inside the lens so it doesn’t wear down.” With the month of June having been
Cataract Awareness Month, with an estimated 3.2 million Canadians living with that eye condition, B.C. optometrists have suggested several precautions to protect your vision: • Avoid sources of UV radiation. Don’t stare directly at the sun and be aware of reflections from snow, water, sand and pavement. • Protect your peepers. Wear sunglasses that are 100 per cent blocking against both UVA and UVB rays, are close-fitting with a wrap-around style frame to help keep light out. • Stay informed. Get regular eye exams, and check out the UV Canada smartphone app for up-to-date info on UV radiation in your area. • Keep out of direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the sun’s rays are strongest. • Keep your children younger than six months of age out of direct sunlight, and ensure children of all ages wear sunglasses or sun hats when outside.

Challenges of the heat for the vulnerable HOMELESS FROM A1 “It’s difficult at this time of year,” Menyes said, pointing out the heat has an affect on everyone’s mood as well as general health. “It’s harder to sleep because it is hotter and people get a bit cranky in the heat. It’s amazing how handing someone a bottle of water defuses situations and cools things down right away.” Sunscreen is also something they could use in addition to water and volunteers. “Nobody thinks of sunscreen, but we really could use some,” she said. While there are challenges to keeping the homeless and semihomeless community safe this time of year, Menyes pointed out that the mission is expanding its capacity and will soon be better equipped to help those in need. The dining room will soon be renovated making it able to hold more than the current number of clients and there’s a courtyard program in the offing. “We are just waiting for a couple of permits from the city for the courtyard project,” she said. “Once we get that it will be amazing. We will have shaded area for
people to relax and access services.” Lastly, construction on a store expansion has also begun. Menyes said that all the work that’s been done has been with the help of the community, who continually step up in times of need, like the one currently at hand. “The Kelowna community has been so generous supporting us with items and money and volunteering,” she said. For those who can contribute call Menyes at 250-763-3737 ext 204.

A sixteen year-old hockey player is bringing his campaign for mental health awareness to the Okanagan. Myles Mattila just moved to West Kelowna from Prince George, where he spent the past two years in a partnership with mindcheck.ca and Canadian Mental Health promoting mental health awareness and letting people know there is help if they need it. In Prince George, Mattila would give presentations at high schools about mental health and getting help, and would also have a booth at Prince George Cougars games, a Western Hockey League team. “Don’t hold it in, you want to make sure you talk about it with somebody,” Mattila explained his message to
July 3rd - 30th, 2015
others. “Holding it in just makes it harder on yourself. Talking about it with somebody can make it easier. If you go to the right people, they will understand. “If you tell some friends or random people that’s hard for them because they don’t really know you. “But if you go to a close friend or a counsellor, and there are counsellors in every school, they can really help you. “If you’re struggling with anxiety or depression, they can really help.” A ninth round pick of the WHL’s Vancouver Giants, Mattila moved to West Kelowna to attend Okanagan Mission Secondary and play for the Okanagan Rockets. It was through hockey that he decided to become involved in the campaign for mental health. “I had a close friend on my hockey team that I grew up with and played hockey with, he was one of my closest friends,”
Mattila explained. “I noticed a little bit of an attitude change and in how he was playing hockey, so I asked him what was going on. “He said flat out nothing was going on, but I still could notice something was going on. “A few weeks after I asked him again and he told me he had depression and was thinking about killing himself. “At that moment I didn’t know what to do because I was only 13, so I told the coach right away and he actually kicked him off the hockey team. “I didn’t want that at all, because that was almost like a coping tool for him. “So that was how I got involved, because I heard about (former Vancouver Canucks defenceman) Kevin Bieksa losing his best friend (former Canucks forward) Rick Rypien (to suicide) and I wanted to make sure no one felt like I did that day, telling somebody and getting your friend kicked off the hockey team.”
Myles Mattila took up the challenge to start his own mental health awarness campaign while living in Prince George, and he wants to do the same in Kelowna after moving here. In the three years since that incident, Mattila’s friend has gotten help for his depression, resumed playing hockey and is doing much better. Those are the types of results Mattila wants to see, and the message he wants to get across; that you aren’t alone with depression, and there are people there to help you. In Prince George, Mattila only had the local chapter of Canadian Mental Health to work with but now that he is in a region with a much higher population, he is hopeful he can find more teenagers to begin to work with him. In the fall he will begin speaking

Special needs students need more than principal’s support To the editor: Referring to the letter to the editor, Principals Support Keeping Special Needs Students in the Classroom, June 26 Capital News. Donna Moore addresses a very sensitive and complicated matter regarding classroom dynamics and composition. Speak to any teacher in B.C. and one will note quite quickly that teachers are
LETTER OF THE WEEK definitely upset about classroom composition, given the alarming number of special needs in one classroom with little to no support for those students. For years teachers have been fighting for more support for students in the classroom to no avail. With little to no support for students with special needs, especially for the students that have been recognized as having intense behaviour issues, there is bound to be constant disruptions and interruptions.

But, this is not the students’ fault. Those disruptions and interruptions could be manageable and addressed if there was the proper amount of support in the classroom. By proper amount I mean that every designated special needs student has a document that states what will help the student have success in the classroom. If a student is supposed to have one-on-one to help with staying on task, then that is what should be in place. Some students need a little walk every 15 minutes to help with calmness. Disruptions and interruptions, and often a feeling of not being safe, occur when those students are not getting their documented needs met. For sure these problems could be avoided if there was more government funding for schools. In her letter, Donna makes it appear as though students with special needs are the reason why classrooms have disruptions, are perhaps dysfunctional and hard to manage. A better question for parents to ask a principal, if they have concerns about the dynamics and composition of their child’s classroom for the next year, would

Idealized Canada celebrated from abroad Canada Day is never better than when you’re living abroad. Sure, Kathartic you miss out on the cake, fireworks and general hubbub. But if you’re lucky, you may get a chance to KATHY actually reflect on what it means to MICHAELS be from the True North with a fellow marooned Canuck. You can talk about how simple “please and thank yous” are woven into the tapestry of our daily lives. Or how good the air feels when you inhale—something you can’t possibly understand the value of until you’ve spent time in a country where it’s not. On that note, it’s always nice to think about how the rain is purifying, not toxic. And you can’t help but acknowledge the value of freely being able to travel to and from your country of origin. Or how well so many nationalities have blended over generations to pull the whole thing off, relatively well. Bits and bobs of this nature are the things that I reflected on with my friends when I lived overseas, oh-so-long-ago. These days, however, I’m home and they did their annual pining without me. “I had a beer and sang O’ Canada to celebrate,”

wrote one friend to me, vowing for the 15th time that next year’s Canada Day will be spent on home soil. Another posted a picture of maple syrup on their pancakes. I know they both daydreamed about the gentle Canadian and our love of all things natural. It’s a beautiful image, really. Of course, they’ve been gone awhile. There have been some changes they get to overlook and an election year to avoid. As the parent of a toddler, there isn’t a lot of time in my house for television, so I was quite excited Canada Day when we put it on during my little one’s nap time to watch some Women’s World Cup. I can’t remember the game, but a commercial was seared into my mind. The “Justin, just not ready” ad may have been on for a month already, but even so, I just wasn’t ready for the condescending dreck it contained. The commercial, currently receiving heavy TV airplay, shows a group of four seemingly thick voters mulling over resumés for the prime minister position.

w h Trudeau’s resumé is particularly unsettling to the a group who offer up bon mots like, “He has some b growing up to do,” “He’s like a celebrity who says things without thinking them through” and while on the topic of foreign policy, “Well, he wants to send winter jackets to Syria.” They all make note of his good looks, which just makes whoever wrote the commercial seem petty and jealous then they offer a semi-endorsement, s which is unusual. “I’m not saying no forever, but not now,” is the u final line. Ugh. Please. Somebody. Whoever is out there listening, please remove this commercial. I’m s no fan of Mulcair’s ‘everyday man’ ad, or Trudeau’s i unusual diction either. But this ad—yuck. r It’s the American-style muckraking that we as sensible Canadians have always turned our noses up b at, but more importantly it was just so stupid and so a poorly executed for a government known to ooze n dollars in ads. It’s lovely that they dug up actors from a small- p t town improv group and paid them to perform in something that looked more like a Depends ad than w a legitimate opportunity to engage the electorate. d

Dangerous to not fund qualified doctors to perform eye surgery in Kelowna To the editor: On Dec. 22, three years ago, I was diagnosed with a detached retina in my left eye and was offered surgery on Dec. 27 in Vancouver. Fortunately, my daughter and son-in-law were visiting for Christmas and drove me back to their home in White Rock on the Dec. 26. My daughter drove me into Vancouver General the next morning. The surgery was performed and I was discharged with instructions to look down for four days because of a gas bubble placed in the eye.
I was told not to go home on the Coquihalla because of the altitude, but that the Hope-Princeton would be OK. It wasn’t. My son from Kelowna came down on the 29th to drive me home. By the time we got to Manning Park, I thought my eye was going to explode. I was given the option of going back to take the Fraser Canyon home, but since we were almost half way over, I opted to continue. The pain was unbearable, but subsided on the way into Princeton, with no after effects. I was extremely fortunate to get such quick surgery and the transportation, as well as the
accommodation in White Rock. What is annoying is that there are fully qualified eye doctors in Kelowna, who could do this surgery right here. But the government prefers to pad their pension plans and keep their perks rather than provide sight-saving surgery here. It is long past time to kick that bunch out. I think two terms is the maximum that should be allowed for one party.

Interior Health not performing up to par
Your bulk food specialists • www.springfieldbulkfoods.ca
To the editor: Frankly, Interior Health’s performance has been a disappointment. In fact it has been disastrous. A classic case that getting bigger does not necessarily mean getting better service. The size of Kelowna General Hospital has quadrupled in the past few years. We are told of all the advanced surgical interventions being introduced, we see money coming from all directions, spending on the new building downtown is colossal, MSP premium has increased for us dumb taxpayers, yet services, especially for an aging population, is incredibly getting poorer. I have heard horror stories from people with severe limitation of their mobility who have been waiting for an eternity for knee and hip replacement. Cataract surgery has become a luxury. Forget complex eye surgery.
We have highly qualified, at least one retina surgeon I know, who has more operating time in Kamloops than at Kelowna General Hospital. Also, lack of services by Interior Health has been very beneficial and lucrative to private physicians and surgeons. I personally know of a young man who had to have private surgery on his knee and paid handsomely to keep his job on a cruise ship. Do we, or don’t we have enough orthopaedic surgeons in Kelowna? If yes, why not enough operating room availability? It is not unthinkable these days to think we probably have too many fat cats at Interior Health. We may also have a lousy and not so highly qualified board of directors. I would like our local MLAs to explain, and/ or defend the lousy performance of Interior Health. On the other hand, the absolutely
Time to reform the Senate To the editor: The contention that the Canadian Senate’s sense of entitlement is out of control is an understatement. The Senate has a simple mandate, to give sober second thought to any legislation that is considered by the government of the day. Without the authority to introduce, amend, rescind, adopt, or even stop legislation from becoming law, the Senate is almost irrelevant, and that is probably why the Senate was neutered before it was adopted. Touring the country on the taxpayers dime, promoting the party that appointed them to the Senate is clearly outside of a Senator’s well defined mandate. Canadian politicians do not want democratic governments, where the
politicians are accountable to the people,. When the administration of the British North America Act (BNA) was transferred to the Canadian government in 1982, the government of the day arbitrarily retained the colonial power structure. The recent Supreme Court ruling that we cannot reform the Senate is pure nonsense. Provincial governments supported the adoption of the Constitution Act of Canada, but the Canadian Constitution is not a constitution adopted by the people by means of a binding national referendum. It is, in fact, nothing more and nothing less than another act of the federal Parliament that can be amended by the government of the day. Andy Thomsen, Peachland
EDUCATION CUTS
Support in the classroom SPECIAL NEEDS FROM A8 be this: “How much student support will be in that classroom and is it your opinion, as principal, that that will be enough to make sure that all of the students in the classroom are feeling safe and getting their needs met?” From what I understand, no principal has a say as to who goes into which class. It is the
role of principal as administrator to juggle the dollars allotted by the school board which comes to the district from the government. With constant cuts to funding it must be very difficult for principals to appease both parents and staff. Unfortunately, it is the students, all of the students, that feel the effects the worst. Terrie Anderson, West Kelowna
brilliant voters just gave Madame Christy Clark and her cohorts five more years. Here in beautiful Okanagan Valley voters treat Clark like a goddess, when her own riding dumped her. Doesn’t that tell you something? We can go ahead and knock our brain to death on the wall for the next four years. Mo Rajabally, Kelowna
Please, thank you MICHAELS FROM A8 But Canadians aren’t stupid. We don’t need to be distracted from the issues with commentary about a political contender’s appearance. We know that emergency relief, such as providing winter coats, is a function of our current government so it’s hardly remarkable that a leader of another party would take a similar perspective. Maybe I’m delusional, but I’m pretty sure Canadians know a lot more about politics than this ad gives credit for. So, in honour of the birth of our nation, I hope that whoever is in charge pulls the plug on that hideous bit of business and starts working toward an honest and open conversation about the things we all value most. Like clean air and immigration policy. Please and thank-you.

City grants Hillcrest Cafe a business licence Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com
It has taken nearly four years but a controversial farm cafe in Rutland is finally getting a business licence from the city. The Hillcrest Farm Cafe, which has been operating without a business licence since 2012, was approved for a licence Tuesday night after a lengthy public hearing. The hearing, deferred from two weeks ago, ran for nearly five hours and featured a packed galley, many of whom came out to support the cafe and its owners.

Speaker after speaker from the standing roomonly crowd, spoke about how the business is needed and welcome in the area and it should be given a business licence. Only a few people spoke against it, citing many contraventions to city and Agricultural Land Commission rules by the farm’s owners. The Bal family, which owns the cafe and the larger Hillcrest Farm it is located on, ran afoul of the city in 2011 when it applied for a business licence but was told a number of changes would be required before

one would be given. A non-farm use was approved by the ALC to allow the cafe on agricultural land. But the approval was site specific to Hillcrest Farm and the commission expressed concern about how the farm’s owners had behaved in operating the cafe without a licence. But on Tuesday, at the urging of Coun. Brad Seiben, some of the issues city staff had associated with awarding a licence were removed and placed with others that have yet to be resolved, including the future of a large sign on the property and the five entrances and exits to the farm property. While the city took the cafe’s owners to court over some of the issues, including operating a business without a licence and the owners were found guilty on five counts and fined a total of $8,000, city staff did recommend to council a licence now be provided given the owners are willing to comply with several demands made by the city and the provincial Agricultural Land Commission. They include limiting the seating at the cafe to 30, posting a notice to that effect in the cafe and not being allowed to sell the business (with the business licence) to anyone else. The Bal family have expressed frustration

publicly that other agricultural businesses, such as wineries, are allowed to do what it has not—at least not legally—and have called for changes to benefit all farmers. Council, with Mayor Colin Basran and Coun. Mohini Singh both absenting themselves because of conflicts of interest and Coun. Luke Stack absent—voted 5-1 in favour of allowing the business licence, with only Coun. Charlie Hodge opposed. Hodge has repeatedly said he feels awarding the business licence is “rewarding bad behaviour” given the Bals operated the cafe without a licence for more than three years. But a few councillors,
while voting in favour of awarding the business licence, made it clear they expect progress to be made on the outstanding issues concerning the larger Hillcrest Farm operation sooner rather than later. Coun. Tracy Gray said when those issues come back to council she will take a different view if the farms owners have not been following city regulations. Suhkpal Bal, son of owner Chancal Bal and the family member who has spoken on behalf of the family on the issue of the cafe, said that he and his father were willing to sit down and work with city staff on the outstanding issues.

The funding helps researchers as they make new discoveries in science and engineering that push the boundaries of knowledge, create jobs, opportunities, and improve the quality of life of Canadians. Congratulations to Deborah Buszard, UBC deputy vice-chancellor and principal of the Okanagan campus, and all the recipients.
GRANT FOR MUSEUM
The Kelowna Museums Society will broaden its conservation skills thanks to $8,942 in funding through the Museums Assistance Program. This funding will enable the society to partner with multiple heritage organizations to present a series of workshops to foster specialized conservation practices for textile, paper and object collections. The workshops will be held at the Ursula Surtees Regional Conservation Laboratory in Kelowna— the only facility of its kind in British Columbia outside of the Lower Mainland. The project will build and strengthen regional conservation knowledge by bringing together staff from the Kelowna Museums Society, as well as from the Sncewips Heritage Museum in Westbank and the SS Sicamous Paddle Wheeler and Heritage Park in Penticton.

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

Dealing with crash injuries like training for marathon You have to train for a triathlon that you didn’t sign up for, you get none of the fringe benefits and you don’t get to check it off your bucket list because you won’t be entering the race.

administers some sort of therapy to the injured areas of your body to help along the healing process. Over time the improvement in your overall recovery slows to a crawl and stops, with passive therapies becoming like a longrelease medication that provides only temporary relief.

pains. On days when my motivation fades, I can remind myself of my goal and all the good things that come with it. The person choosing to sign a car crash victim up for a triathlon is the person who chooses not to give their driving the full attentiveness it requires. Consider the small amount of effort it takes to drive attentively in comparison to the training that car crash victims must undergo just to build themselves back, though never fully back, to where they were before a senseless crash.

Unfortunately, it will be necessary to continue with your strengthening and stretching program in order not to lose the gains you have made. Contrast that with a 45-year-old desk jockey with a growing paunch who decides to enter an entry level “sprint” distance triathlon. The motivation of re-learning how to swim after 30 years of not having swum a length and putting miles on my running shoes and bicycle comes from the promise of feeling more energy and being healthier. There is also the promise of doing something about that paunch and being able to take an item off my bucket list.

The kinesiologist starts slow, carefully assessing your status so as to establish a program that you can handle. This might feel like an impossibility, when every movement brings on discomfort and pain, but kinesiologists are trained to find a starting point that makes sense, even if the “workout” doesn’t look like much of a workout at all. By following through with the exercise regime that has been prescribed for you, your strength and flexibility gradually improve. Your kinesiologist periodically reviews and modifies your program according to your increased strength and flexibility.

Outdoors awareness promoted by West Kelowna sports store Wholesale Sports Outdoor Outfitters is partnering with the BC Wildlife Federation to support conservation of B.C.’s fish, wildlife, and habitat by bringing its annual Conservation Month public awareness campaign to the province for the first time in 2015. Each year during the month of July, Wholesale Sports partners with a conservation-related organization to be the beneficiary of the promotion. A special “Keepin’ it Wild” decal will be available for donations of $2 or more at all five Wholesale Sports locations across B.C.—including the store in West Kelowna—with all funds going directly back to BCWF conservation programs and initiatives. In its first year in 2014, sales of the decal raised more than $20,000 for the Alberta Hunter Education Instructors Association. “Wholesale Sports continues to be a great supporter of BCWF and our conservation programs and initiatives across BC, and we are excited to partner with them for this year’s Conservation Month promotion,” said BCWF president George Wilson. “We are proud to partner with organizations such as the BCWF that support the promotion, education and advancement of hunting, fishing, camping and conservation of wilderness resources. Wholesale Sports looks forward to working with BCWF providing support and exploring fundraising opportunities, like the upcoming conservation promotion we are running during July to help raise awareness and funds for BCWF,” added Glenn Bingley, Wholesale Sports chief operating officer.

There was another grass fire for Lake Country fire crews to deal with on Thursday over the noon hour and fire officials say the blaze was almost certainly started by an errant cigarette butt. After being called out to the scene on Okanagan Centre Road West, fire crews were faced with a grass fire that had grown to about 150 by 75 feet and was located in a steep area fairly close to nearby homes. But the fire department snuffed out the blaze, dug a fire guard around it and the fire was soon called out.
SEIZURE NO. CS-8150-13-0038
The investigation revealed a three foot area where the blaze started and also smoker’s material in the area. “It could not be confirmed that this was the exact point of origin however when considering the location (right next to the roadway), the direction the fire progressed, and the lack of any other indicators—smoker’s material was the likely cause,” said Lake Country deputy fire chief Brent Penner. Fire crews from Lake Country also dealt with a significant fire on Sunday at the end of Moberly Road that grew to roughly three acres in size.

The Dances of Love and Peace are meditative, joyous, multi-cultural circle dances that use sacred phrases, chants, music and movements from the many spiritual traditions of the earth to touch the spiritual essence within ourselves, recognize it in others and demonstrate how joy lives at the heart of each and all spiritual paths.

The North American tour this year for Aerosmith makes a stop in Kelowna on Monday, July 10, for a concert at Prospera Place. the art gallery’s Artist’s Garden Project series, mounted in the Rotary Courtyard space. Vernon-based artists Carolina Sanchez de Bustamante and her adult son Maxwell Sterry have collaborated to create a piece that features three tall translucent columns strung with brightly painted red, yellow, and orange spherical objects made from clean trash. Visitors will no doubt see some familiar objects in the debris collected at the base of the columns or in the various articles captured and suspended mid-air. At the edges of the courtyard space (surrounding the columns in the centre) are selfirrigating containers painted in vibrant colours and planted with vegetables and fruits. At the end of the growing season, visitors will be welcome to harvest the produce. Whether pondering environmental themes, the architectural elements, or simply reveling in the strangeness of the show, guests are invited to sit
and contemplate the installation on two simple benches, also made from recycled materials. The show is accompanied by an online resource that features an essay by art gallery curator Liz Wylie, biographies of the artists, and also a photo album of installation images that will be added to throughout the year-long duration of the exhibition. An opening reception to celebrate this exhibition will be held Friday, July 3, from 7 to 9 p.m., at the Kelowna Art Gallery. This will be a free event, open to members and guests, by invitation.

Tickets go on sale today, starting at 10 a.m., for the iconic rock band Aerosmith. The original group members are all on board for this tour—Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer—which hasn’t been the case for some previous tours of the band in recent years due to medical issues and disagreements between Tyler and Perry. While Aerosmith can boast of record sales topping 150 million, induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, four Grammys, eight American Music Awards, six Billboard Awards and 12 MTV Video MusicAwards among the band’s many honours, the Aerosmith story is really one of survival. Since the Boston band burst on the national scene with their classic rock staple hit Sweet Emotion in the early 1970s, Aerosmith has continued to remain relevant musically all those years since. That despite of friction among the band members and dealing with the bad side of rockn roll success—drug abuse, particularly for Perry and Tyler.

He’s responsible, often angry, introspective, paranoid and ethical. Just like the television show, the live event will feature challenges that are ridiculous, immature and totally intense. It can only end with one winner. The winner of the competition will assign a “humiliation,” a very embarrassing task that the loser must perform.

entertainment_____________________________________________________________ ONE MORE TIME
In 1984’s The Terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger said “I’ll Be Back”—and he was right. He came back for Terminator 2, and then the third installment called Rise of the Machines. While he was busy being the governor in California, he missed Terminator Salvation (and the acclaimed but shortlived TV series), but he is now back again in a big way in Terminator Genisys. For the new version of this movie franchise, the story goes back to the original movie but in true time-travel fashion, they change things up. Described as a “retcon” (Retoactive Continuity) rather than a reboot, it starts the storyline of the original movie when the T-800 (ingeniously done with footage from the original and CG) is sent back to the past to kill Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke), but that model is quickly dispatched by Connor and “The Guardian,” a reprogrammed T-800 with aged human tissue (Schwarzenegger as he is now). The plotline begins anew with her actually saving her protector from the first movie, Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney), and thus begins the action with altered timelines. With the return of Schwarzenegger to the franchise and plans for at least two more sequels, hopes are high that this one is a hit. The Terminator creator James Cameron has already seen Terminator Genisys and given it his stamp of approval. Set three years after Mike (Channing Tatum), left the stripper life at the top of his game, Magic Mike XXL catches up with him and the rest

RICK DAVIS of the Kings of Tampa who are likewise ready to throw in the towel. However, they want to go out with a last blow-out performance in Myrtle Beach with their legendary headliner. On the road to their final show, they make stops in Jacksonville and Savannah to renew old acquaintances and make new friends. Returning in the sequel is Joe Manganiello, Matt Bomer, Kevin Nash, Adam Rodriguez and Gabriel Iglesias and new cast members include Elizabeth Banks, Donald Glover, Amber Heard, Andie MacDowell, Jada Pinkett Smith and Michael Strahan. If you are a ‘Deadhead,’ you will want to check out Fare Thee Well: 50 Years of the Grateful Dead showing Sunday, July 5, 5 p.m. at the Paramount Theatre. In an epic, unprecedented live event broadcast from Soldier Field in Chicago, the four original members will be joined by three other renowned musicians including Bruce Hornsby. Almost 20 years after the last Grateful Dead concert with Jerry Garcia, this will be the last time the band will ever play together. Also at the Paramount Theatre this week is the Canadian romantic comedy My Ex-Ex. When Mary’s boyfriend Ted invites her out to a fancy restaurant, she’s convinced he’s going to pop the question, but instead she gets dumped. To cheer her up, her friends take her to a psychic who says she will
connect with her ex-boyfriend. However, the ex turns out to be her college boyfriend Patrick, who she starts falling for again. And when Ted realizes he made a mistake and wants Mary back, she becomes torn between her two exes. My Ex-Ex shows for one show only, Wednesday, July 8 at 7 p.m.

organization funded by auto insurers. The goal is to reduce injuries and fatalities (on U.S. roads and highways), but its powerful research has an impact worldwide, no pun intended. The tour was truly a revelation and demonstrated well how most of today’s cars come through rigorous impact tests with good marks and those that don’t soon get a fix. We were hosted by Subaru Canada, which has much to boast about, though it was restrained in blowing its own trumpet on location. All Subaru models have been named IIHS “Top Safety Picks” for six years running. And that’s some feat: to qualify as a 2015 Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must earn ‘good’ ratings in the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests, as well as a ‘good’ or ‘acceptable’ rating in the small overlap front test. Subaru is excited that its optional ‘Eyesight’ system has earned the top IIHS rating of Superior for front crash protection. According to Subaru Canada, the company expects the percentage of buyers opting for Eyesight to increase from the current 19 per cent to 30 per cent by the end of the 2016 model year. The Eyesight system detects obstacles and is capable of bringing a vehicle to a complete stop at speeds up to 50 km/h. By the way, for those concerned about crash test dummy cruelty, Raul Arbelaez, vice president of operations for the IIHS, says: “Our dummies aren’t getting as hurt as much they used to. We don’t have to replace as many rib cages anymore.”
Question of the Week The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety goes to great lengths to test the crash worthiness of new vehicles. Do you pay close attention to their assessments or are you happy that today’s cars differ little in the safety stakes? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca for the question of the week

such a significant move on the nation’s birthday. Certainly with a team name of ‘Maple Leafs,’ the timing seems reasonable enough. If not for the years and years of inept decision making on the part of the club one would almost want to believe the trade was actually planned to culminate on July 1. Regardless, fluke or planned, the long anticipated trade of controversial star forward Phil Kessel signifies the true turning of a new leaf in the club’s long and complicated history. A franchise of great respect for many decades the team from Canada’s alleged centre of the universe fell off the shelf of success and into the limbo bin of mediocrity following their last Stanley Cup win in 1967. It has been a long and frustrating tale of bad luck, bad trades and bad drafts led by bad management and ownership the past half century. But July 1, that all changed with the simple
Hodge Podge CHARLIE HODGE decision to rid themselves of a player with a plethora of talent yet a questionable work ethic and disruptive nature in both the dressing room and occasionally on the ice. For all of his talent, Kessel has proven to be his own worst enemy—a trait which seems to parallel the infamous ownership of the Leafs of the past for so many long, lean years. Maple Leaf fans, like myself, have been abandoning the team like rats on a sinking ship for years now largely due to not only the club’s apparent lack of willingness to spend the money or the energy to acquire star players but also for the crass and often cruel way management treated the players they had. With the recent
changes in ownership and the new brain trust in charge of things such as Brendon Shanahan and Mike Babcock, Leaf fans may actually have reason to once again be proud of the blue and white uniform with the huge maple leaf on the front. Drafting potential star Mitch Marner and then shipping the enigma Kessel to Pittsburgh for a passle of youngsters and future draft picks affirms the club’s desire to truly rebuild the club for the next couple seasons with the goal of eventually becoming a powerhouse franchise again. I’m sure I won’t be alone in happily digging out my old Leaf sweater for the upcoming season, even putting it on again in public places. Not since Conn and Stafford Smythe dumped all over Davey Keon and traded away fan favourite Eddy Shack have I been able to legitimately cheer for my Leafs.
So just as it seems the Vancouver Canucks are dismantling a reasonable team in what appears a mini-rebuild of their own, and my beloved Boston Bruins seem to be imploding with dumb deals, I am finally provided the option of cheering for my boyhood idols again. Getting to once again shout, ‘Go Leafs Go’ on Canada Day seems so appropriate. ••• Speaking of Canada Day, one of the highlights of the local activities in Kelowna was a brief foursong tease performance by the cast of the rock musical Raft Of The Medusa. Not surprisingly, Pat Brown, Ashley Atkinson, Neville Bowman and the rest of the impressive cast gave a spine tingling performance for the audience. The riveting, emotionally charged and highly engaging stage show will hold its world premiere performance July 24 and 25 at the Kelowna Community

Theatre. I absolutely guarantee this is a show worth attending. The opening evening will literally be a red carpet affair complete with all the gala and trimmings of a Broadway type show. I have been honoured to watch the rock-opera creators Randall Robinson and Pat Brown write and develop this outstanding storyline—and craft their jaw-dropping music and lyrics to accompany the narrative. Raft Of The Medusa is a play based on one of the world’s greatest marine disasters, the sinking of the French frigate the Medusa off the coast of Africa. More than 100 passengers were forced to seek safety on a flimsy raft due to a shortage of life boats. When they were finally rescued only 15 were alive, with eventually five more of those initial survivors dying in hospital. The play not only captures the angst and passion of that ordeal, but also the impact and eventual insanity that the tragedy inflicted upon a French painter who later captured the crime against humanity of canvas. This is a brilliantly written and performed bit of music theatre.

Road closures are underway on McKinley Road to accommodate development-related utility upgrades 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Between 7 and 9 a.m., alternating traffic will be in effect with reduced wait times. Motorists can expect up to 15-minute delays. Construction includes installation of sanitary sewer and water supply lines for the McKinley Beach development. Much of the work involves drilling and blasting into bedrock so traffic must be stopped during these times for safety purposes. Paving of McKinley Road is scheduled to be done by September, and further work on Glenmore Road North done by Nov. 10.

Jim passed away much too young, after a lengthy battle with cancer. His passing leaves a huge hole in the hearts of those who loved him as we bid farewell to a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. Jim leaves behind his loving wife and best friend, Beth; daughter, Sandra and son, Stephen (Robin); his young grandson, Zachary; sisters Diane (Jim) Caldwell, Joan and Beth’s sons, Conor and Aiden Munson; as well as many nieces and nephews. Jim is predeceased by his loving parents, Gladys and Ed and his first wife Sheilah Bentley. He will be greatly missed by many friends from Montreal, Calgary and here in Kelowna, as well as the Bentley family in Alberta. Jim was proud of his Montreal roots and earned his Bachelor of Commerce degree from McGill University. He moved to Kelowna in 1994, where he met and married Beth and worked as a financial advisor. He was a superb athlete and especially loved hockey and golf. He rarely turned down a beer with his friends and spent many happy hours renovating the house that he owned in Lakeview Heights. Jim lived a full life and had no regrets. Special thanks to Dr. Wadhwa and all the excellent staff at the BC Cancer Agency in Kelowna.

GRAY, DR. EDWARD ‘LEIGHTON’ Born in Nelson, BC on December 31st 1926 passed away peacefully, with a smile on his face and his family at his side in Kelowna on Friday, June 26, 2015 at the age of 88. Leighton is survived by his beautiful and loving wife Beverly, of 65 years; children:
Gerry Gray of Armstrong, Doug Gray (Dinie) of Kelowna, Cindy (John Bachelder) of Kelowna, Rob (Darlene) Gray of Surrey, Steve (Angela) Gray of Kelowna; 10 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. Leighton was predeceased by his brother Claire Gray. Leighton moved to Kelowna as a young child where he ultimately raised his family and served the community as a well-respected chiropractor for 35 years, many of those years in practice with his father, Dr. Ross Edward Gray. Leighton was an avid fisherman, musician and an active member of the church (Gideons) who loved to travel with his family during the summer months or just ‘hang out’ at the pool or spend time in the garden, with pets always close at hand. Leighton, and his affectionate smile, will be deeply missed by family, friends and the caring staff at Three Links Manor, where he resided the past 10 years. There will be a private family Interment held at the Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery, followed by a memorial reception at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Rd. Kelowna on Monday July 6th from 10:30 - 11:30 am. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice. For those wishing to send a condolence or share memories may do so on the Springfield Funeral Home website ‘www.springfieldfuneralhome.com’.

whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
After seven arduous weeks of rehab on his injured left knee last fall, Jonas Gering returned to the Okanagan Sun lineup just in time for the B.C. Football Conference final. But his return didn’t go nearly as planned.

FRED SCHAAD/CONTRIBUTOR
We worked our butts off in the gym in the off-season, so our bodies are ready.” Jonas Gering
We know for September 2015 we can’t accommodate all kids feeding into KLO.” Jonas Gering As was the case for all of his Sun teammates, a 23-19 loss last October to the Langley Rams left a bitter and lasting taste in Gering’s mouth. This weekend, the 21-year-old veteran defensive end and the Sun will kick off the 2015 version of the team’s training camp with one goal in mind— to make amends for a disappointing end to 2014. “That’s something none of us want to go
Quarterback Josiah Joseph and the Okanagan Sun kick off their 2015 training camp on Saturday at the Parkinson/Apple Bowl practise fields. through again,” said Gering. “We’ve spent the entire off-season building up to this and making sure we’re ready to go. I feel great about this team and the talent we have. I’m looking forward to a great year.” Gering is among 80 players who will take to the Parkinson/Apple Bowl practise fields this Saturday and Sunday for the start of the BCFC team’s training camp. Third-year Sun head
coach Shane Beatty will look to the likes of Gering, along with fellow all-star and DB Brennan Van Nistelrooy, linebacker Lucas Machado, linemen Cliff Crew and Michele Vecchio and receiver Kyle Patchell—among others—for leadership this season as the Sun takes aim at the team’s first conference championship since 2006. Beatty is excited about the club’s depth and skill all across the board
this season, particularly along the defensive and offensive lines, and in the defensive secondary which Beatty describes as “loaded.” With plenty of receivers in the mix and staunch corps of running back, Beatty said the team’s quarterbacking corps will have plenty of support. Veterans Cam Bedore and Josiah Joseph will be joined by newcomer Keith Zyla from Edmonton in what Beatty expects to
be a three-way tussle for playing time. “It’s going to be a battle,” Beatty said. “All three are capable guys and have the potential to lead us.” There are more than a handful of newcomers Beatty has high expectations for including linebacker Mike Desjarlais from the University of Saskatchewan, Kent Lawrence, a 6-foot7 defensive end from Reedley College in
“The kids are more confident than they’ve been, this is a cerebral group and an excited group,” Beatty said. “We have a lot of speed, talent and depth, so we like our situation heading into the season.” Jonas Gering, for one, couldn’t be more ready for the new campaign. “We worked our butts off in the gym in the offseason, so our bodies are ready,” he said. “Now it’s just a matter of learning our schemes and getting our minds prepared. “It’s time for us (to win a championship). The Sun will work out Saturday and Sunday from 9:30 to 2 p.m. each day. Then for the next two Saturdays, July 11 and 18, the Sun will hold controlled scrimmages. Okanagan will open the regular season Saturday, Aug. 25 at the Apple Bowl against the Westshore Rebels.
Samantha Richdale
Samantha Richdale will look to build on her best professional finish in six years when she tees it up this weekend at the Symetra Tour’s Tullymore Classic this weekend in Stanwood, Michigan. The Kelowna golfer is coming off a secondplace showing last weekend at the Island Resort Championship in Harris, Mich., her highest Symetra Tour placing since the 2009 season. After an opening round 71, Richdale carded backto-back 4-under par 68s to finish at 9-under 207, just one stroke back of winner Dani Holmqvist of Sweden. For her efforts, Richdale picked up $11,506. She is now 16th on the Symetra Tour money list with $25,430. It’s the most she has earned on the tour since she won more than $59,000 and 2009 and ranked fourth overall. Earlier this spring, Richdale tied for fourth at the Chico’s Patty Berg Memorial and claimed $5,892.

Host Kelowna Jays take 2nd at Baseball Blast
DOUGLAS FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR
The host Kelowna Jays reluctantly settled for second best. In the final of the Jays’ 12th annual Baseball Blast Sunday at Elks Stadium in scorching temperatures, the Seattle-based Highline Bears defeated Kelowna 6-1. The Bears took advantage of an unexpected pitching change to score two runs in the second and third innings and basically seal the fate of the hometown side. Jays’ starter Will Russell had to leave the game after only one inning due to heat exhaustion, forcing Jays manager Jared Johnson to bring in

a cold Gage McLaren. McLaren allowed six hits and a walk to go with two strikeouts before giving way to Wyatt Hummell who finished the game for the Jays. “I can’t be too disappointed, these guys
played their hearts out,” said Jays GM Bill Bayne. The Jays, who went 4-0 in the round robin, advanced to the final after defeating the Calgary Diamondbacks 2-1 in the semifinal. The extreme heat played a factor all weekend for players and fans alike. The near 40-degree temperatures made staying hydrated a challenge. The fans did all they could with umbrellas and canopies to find some shade. “Overall this year’s event was a success and all teams are looking forward to next year,” added Bayne.

A summer tradition will take to the streets of Kelowna Sunday morning with the Fresh Air Midsummer 8K run. The seventh stop of the season on the Interior Road Race Series, this is a chip timing race with new route beginning and ending at Gyro Park with a turnaround in City Park. The new route parallels Lakeshore and passes through one of Kelowna’s nicest residential districts (not to mention a sprint through City Park). The new route is safer,
with less road crossings, and the elimination of busy streets—which means runners can turn on the burners when they want. The Fresh Air Midsummer 8K road race is hosted by the Interior Running Association. Refreshments, awards, and draw prizes will follow the race and the top three male and female runners will receive $250, $150, and $100 cash respectively. Runners can register online at www.zone4.ca

felt I could do more with a law degree.” Scott obtained her law degree in Calgary, and moved with her family to Kelowna after acquiring it. She practiced law at a firm in the Okanagan for several years before she was contacted by the Liberal Party of Canada as a potential candidate for the Central Okanagan-SimilkameenNicola riding. Now that she is in the political field, Scott would love to see more women enter politics. “I think that what’s

important, no matter what party it is, is engaging women in politics,” she said. “Having women step into that leadership role in our democratic process in our civil society makes such a big and positive difference. “A democracy without the full representation of women is a contradiction in terms, it’s not a democracy if 50 per cent of the population is women, and we have 20 per cent representation. I think that you have to have women involved. If you’re going to be discussing policies and making decisions at a government level that affect women, you should have women involved. Studies show that when you have women involved in government decision
making and civil society, there is going to be a likelihood that you’re going to work collaboratively and there are going to be long term solutions.” Although Scott is still new to the political field, she said anyone thinking of entering politics needs to have a strong support group and a thick skin. She added you also have to be in it for the rights reasons, and hers is that she wants to have a positive impact on her community; something she has worked towards no matter what job she has had or where she has worked. Scott’s willingness to accept change and drive toward making her community a better place are what make her a Woman to Watch.
Crowe MacKay’s Women to Watch program is a weekly feature that profiles remarkable women in our community. This feature series is a joint initiative between Crowe MacKay, the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce and the Kelowna Capital News.

Grand Gulch, Utah: As the setting sun turned the red rock of southern Utah to a deepening shade of pink, I set up camp below an ancient ruin tucked high into a cliff. Enjoying a hot pasta dinner, I contemplated what looked like a house 70 feet above me. Why did the people who lived up there roughly 1,000 years ago live on a cliff? How did they get up and down? What drove them away? During a 10-day road trip in October, I visited three of the continent’s best-known ancient archaeological sites at Chaco Culture National Historic Park in northwest New Mexico, Mesa Verde National Park in southwest Colorado and Utah’s Grand Gulch, a federally managed wilderness area. The Ancestral Puebloans—also known as the Anasazi—had no written language, leaving anthropologists and archaeologists to pore over the ruins and relics and make educated guesses about their lives. Some facts are fairly well established, such as the abandonment of Chaco and Mesa Verde about 800 years ago. Others are contested, such as how many people lived there and what their lives were like.
FIRST FAMILY OF SOUTHWEST ARCHAEOLOGY
I followed the path of Richard Wetherill, a rancher from Mancos, Colo., whose family became intrigued with the ruins in the late 19th century when he saw the cliff dwellings in nearby Mesa Verde. The ruins were largely unknown to white Americans when the Wetherill family began exploring them, said Fred Blackburn, a former Grand Gulch ranger who has written books about the family and Southwest archaeology. Wetherill’s father tried to persuade the Smithsonian to send experts to inspect the sites, to no avail. “They lacked a prejudice toward Indians because of their Quaker beliefs,” Blackburn said
of the Wetherills in an interview. Richard Wetherill sought assistance elsewhere on how to handle the pots, baskets and other items he found lying in the dirt. He persuaded people with money, interest and experience to participate in the first major excavations of Mesa Verde, Grand Gulch and Chaco Canyon. A director of Harvard University’s natural history museum once hailed Wetherill’s work as “the most far-reaching single event in Southwestern archaeology.” But because he sold artifacts and wasn’t a scientist, Wetherill was derided as a “pot hunter” who was only in it for the money, Blackburn said. Such claims led the federal government to halt his excavation at Chaco Canyon and to pass the American Antiquities Act in 1906. The law governed excavations and made it a crime to take relics from archaeological sites.

looks like a giant “D.” The buildings, which encompass more than 350 ground-floor rooms, are distinguished by fine masonry—tiny pieces of rock were mortared with larger ones, making the walls strong enough to stand for hundreds of years. Other architectural touches include wood beams to support floors and window openings.
Spruce Tree House is one of more than 600 cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde National Park. is the most restricted, owing to the large number of visitors, the fragile condition of the structures, and their importance to American archaeology. Two of the best-known ruins here, Balcony House and Cliff Palace, can be seen only on ranger-guided tours. The cliff dwellings are arguably the most striking ruins in the Southwest. They resemble small villages, but what really makes them remarkable is their location, tucked into large crevices on valley walls hundreds of feet above the canyon floor. While it appears that some of the dwellings were accessed from handand footholds carved into
the cliff walls, just how people got up and down the cliffs—by rope, ladder or other means—remains an open question. Perhaps the essential question is: Why did they live in the cliffs? Protection from the weather? From enemies? On my tour of Cliff Palace, a ranger explained that the Ancestral Puebloans likely sought to insulate themselves from the extremes of summer and winter weather. He cautioned, however, that this was only an interpretation and explanations about the Anasazi have changed over the years. He said the dwellings went beyond mere shelter, pointing to

CHACO: EARLY APARTMENT BUILDING?
The ruins at Chaco Canyon are open to the public, but the ranger tours provide useful context about what makes them unique. What is most compelling about the Chaco ruins is their size.
The best-known sites, Pueblo Bonito and Chetro Ketl, are each about the length of a city block. Each one is a collection of rooms and courtyards that still inspire awe, despite hundreds of years of decay. Pueblo Bonito is the largest of Chaco’s 13 ruins and once stood four storeys high. Looking down at Pueblo Bonito from a canyon ridge, it

CREATIVE OUTLET
A stimulating series of art classes geared specifically for teens returns to the Kelowna Art Gallery this summer. The Friday for Teens Art Series will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Friday, beginning July 24 through to Aug. 28. During the classes, participants can expect to develop skills in drawing, painting, mixed media, and printmaking, while being inspired by the current exhibitions on view at the art gallery. Classes highlight skills-building and self-expression, as well as the introduction of new ideas and artistic techniques. The series is open to absolute beginners, as well as to those of intermediate skill level. Each week a different theme will be explored including Everything in Ink, Block Printing, More than Watercolour, Wildlife Drawing, People Skills, and more. The instructor will be local artist Jim Elwood, an accomplished artist in several
media, including drawing, watercolour, and block printing. Elwood is a graduate with honours from the University of Victoria, and has attended the Banff Centre’s studio program, as well as the University of Calgary’s Art Education program. Elwood’s time is divided among working as an artist, an illustrator and as an art teacher. Registration is now underway for these high-quality, intimate classes. The cost for each class is $55 for members of the Kelowna Art Gallery, and $70 for the general public. An option to attend the entire sixweek series of classes is also available and will save participants money—with six classes for the price of five. A full listing and description of available classes can be found on the art gallery’s website at kelownaartgallery. com. For more information or to register, please contact the Kelowna Art Gallery at 250-762-2226.

The Kelowna General Hospital Foundation has received an $11,500 donation as a result of what organizers call “a big party.” The Bands, Burgers, Beer and Balding event, held in Rutland at the end of May, raised $23,000, with half going to the KGH Foundation and half to B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. The party was the idea of Bernie Ryan, who has held similar fundraisers to help Children’s Hospital for several years. Now a resident of Kelowna, Ryan said he decided to split the money this year to both help kids in his own community and across the province. The KGH Foundation donation will be earmarked to pay for pediatric equipment. Ryan annually raises money through the Balding For Dollars program that helps kids with cancer and features supporters shaving their heads. In the photo are Ryan (second from left), joined by event supporters (from left) Adam Brockman, Frisco Stolk and Ivan Sexsmith.
INTERIOR SAVINGS BURSARIES

own finances.” As can be seen by the federal government’s recent unveiling of a new National Financial Literacy Strategy, there is a need to help Canadians become more confident in their ability to manage their finances and plan for the future. “What we see time and again is that parents have been managing all of their kids’ finances, and many post-secondary students are at a loss for how to manage their accounts, save for their future and build a credit rating,”Conway said. “While it sounds simple, through this program, we have seen many students set up an account, talk to a financial institution and use online banking for the first time.” To be eligible for this bursary, students must be a member of Interior Savings and maintain an active account. Interior Savings will begin accepting applications for 2016 awards beginning this September. More information on the program can be found at milliondollarbursary. com.
