Stopping Canada geese from polluting local waters Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com
Canada geese: A namesake of our country and a true piece of Canadiana or a nuisance waterfowl scattering feces on beaches causing water quality issues. However you view the abundance of Canada geese in and around the Central Okanagan, one thing is for certain, it’s not their fault that they are here in the Okanagan setting up nests on balconies or roof-tops and doing their business on area beaches. No, Canada geese are in the
Okanagan thanks to the work of humans. By definition they are an invasive species, not native to the Okanagan Valley or anywhere else in southern B.C. They were brought here in the 1960s by well-meaning government wildlife agencies as well as conservation groups. “It dates back to the 1930s when the conservation of waterfowl was a big concern in Canada,” said Kate Hagmeier, a biologist who wrote her masters degree on migratory birds including Canada geese and whose company is contracted to help control the Okanagan goose
population. “By the 1960s, there was a well-intended program run by some agencies and not-forprofits to introduce geese into the west so we would have more aesthetic (water-fowl) as well as some hunting opportunities.” It may have been wellintended at the time, but the consequences of introducing an alien species to the Okanagan are far reaching. Thousands of dollars are spent each year trying to control Canada geese, who have no natural predator in the Okanagan and have become habituated to

humans because people love to feed wildlife, even if it’s the worst thing for them. As well, even though Canada geese are a migratory bird that should be leaving its home for the winter months, flying to warmer climates, the Canada geese that live in the Okanagan don’t even know where it is they are supposed to migrate to because they were never taught by their parents. So instead they stay in the Okanagan year round. “There are 11 different subspecies of Canada geese in North

Geese management no simple task Impact felt on America and four or five of the species were brought to the region,” explained Hagmeier. “It was actually a terrible thing to do. The sub-species have bred together to form original stocks. That’s why they can be different sizes because in the east geese are huge and in the north they are small. “There were no adults brought in to teach them their natural migratory habits and they are out of their native area so there is no natural features to trigger migration.” In a word, it’s a mess. And a lot of that mess is on area beaches where goose droppings are cleaned up on daily basis using hundreds of staff hours, only to have to come back the very next day and do it all over again. But despite some changes in what parts of the Okanagan Canada geese are congregating, making it seem as if the population is growing, the opposite is in fact true. The Canada goose population has flat-lined in the Okanagan as some adults are dying off while every jurisdiction in the Okanagan works together to try and limit the population growth. “If goose management was simple, no one would be having this conversation,” said Hagmeier. “This is an issue throughout the Okanagan Valley. If it was simple, it would have been dealt with already.” ••• Back in the day, Oyama resident Frank Latchford worked at Vancouver International Airport where among his duties was wildlife control. He and his colleagues would use live ammunition and pyrotechnics to create a hunting atmosphere on the airfield, keeping it clear for planes to land.

A wildlife technician surveys a Canada goose nest as part of the Okanagan Valley Goose Management Program. Another technique was using green lasers to move animals and water-fowl. Now retired, Latchford still uses the green laser to move geese around. As part of his nightly ritual, he shines the laser over Kaloya Park point, moving a huge gaggle of geese out onto the water and south. But everyday the geese are back. “It’s frustrating because it’s so hot and the water levels are going down and you cannot go into that park. It stinks to high heaven,”he said. “Our grandkids and the neighbor kids are getting spots and have had pink eye from swimming there.” Latchford says the number of geese in Kaloya Park is substantially more than in past years. He has counted 225 of them this year and says there were maybe 70 or 80 in past years. Kaloya is a regional park and the Central Okanagan Regional District (RDCO) has four full-time staff members assigned to maintenance of the north zone parks. Staff spend between two to four hours every day cleaning up goose
feces in the parks using mechanical sweepers, mowers, back pack blowers and even a broom and shovel. They also use pyrotechnic launchers and other methods to chase geese away. “This is effective while staff are present on site but the positive effect is often negated by park visitors who feed the geese within the park while staff are not present. The threat of the scare tactics becomes secondary to the reward of a food source,” said Bruce Smith, communications officer for RDCO. One of the reasons there are more Canada geese at Kaloya Park this year as opposed to previous years is the park is perfect habitat for Canada geese. Land surrounded by water allows geese great nesting habitat and the ability to get into the water quickly, should a natural predator come ambling by. The problem is, being an alien species habituated to eating human food means they don’t really have natural predators and feel safe living among us. As well the geese that
congregate at Kaloya also nest on private property in the area. “Right now geese are in the molting stage where they are growing new flight feathers so they go to an area that is sheltered,” said Hagmeier. “Kaloya is perfect. It’s a peninsula surrounded by water. They look for areas that are like an island so they can get into the water quickly if they have to.” ••• There are 2,500 Canada geese in the Okanagan Valley, ranging all the way from Osoyoos through to Vernon. While they don’t migrate because they don’t know how, they do move around in the region. They love Vaseaux Lake in the south. And they love Kaloya Park in Lake Country. They have been found to make nests on balconies in Kelowna or on roof-tops. They are not scared of man and instead view us as a food source. “They have adapted to us very well,” said Hagmeier. As the head of the Okanagan Regional Goose Management committee, Hagmeier and her company are in charge of what has become the best tool
to manage the Canada goose population: The egg addling program. Each year when the Canada geese lay their eggs, Hagmeier and her colleagues head out to the nests and physically get their hands on the eggs, either shaking them or coating them in oil. It stops the transfer of oxygen and the process of hatching a new Canada goose. The eggs are left in the nests, the adult goose returns but when nothing hatches, the adult moves onto the next phase of its year, which is the molting stage, where it sheds old feathers and grows new. “Egg addling is a really strong tool,” said Hagmeier, noting it is the most humane way of stopping young from hatching and doesn’t effect the adult goose. However, the program isn’t 100 per cent effective, again largely due to man. Some Canada geese nest on private property and some landowners will not allow Hagmeier and her colleagues onto their property for egg addling. “We don’t get all the nests,” she said. “So we see eight to 10 per cent young every year. But in a population that was not being addled, that (birth rate) would be 50 per cent.” As many eggs are addled and the number of young Canada geese born is small, adult Canada geese are starting to die off. The species can live for more than 20 years but Hagmeier said they are starting to see missing pairs of adults in their counts. In a perfect world, as the years go by, the Canada geese population should start to decline. “I don’t think the goal is to not have them here at all,” said Hagmeier. “I think the goal is to have them at a level where there is no conflict.”
water quality of area lakes Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com
Canada geese can contribute to poor water quality in area lakes and beaches but they are far from the only issue when it comes to water quality in any of the Okanagan lakes. Water quality at beaches across the Okanagan is tested every week for E-coli, a large group of bacteria that is commonly found in the intestines of humans and animals. Most strains of E-coli are harmless to humans however some strains can make people sick. The bacteria is also used as an indicator organism during testing by Interior Health. “If you have a lot of Canada geese on the beach then definitely that is increasing the likelihood of E-coli,” said Jennifer Jacobsen, Interior Health team leader for environmental health. “E-coli is carried in the feces of most warm-blooded animals. Sometimes it may be pathogenic to humans and other times it may not, depending on the species. It’s also an indicator that something is not normal in the water.” Water quality is tested every week with results published online on Fridays. Samples are taken from every beach in every municipality in the Okanagan except Peachland, which does not take part in the program. Water at as many as 50 beaches are tested against the Health Canada guidelines for recreational water quality and if samples get too high a notice will be posted at the beach, warning residents that water quality is poor and to swim at their own risk. It’s happened before in Lake Country. Last year, Reiswig park was closed for a month after higher than normal E-coli ratings were found in the samples. Currently, Pioneer Park in Lake Country is posted as having moderate water quality, the only local beach with such a rating while the rest are listed as having no water quality issues. Staff within each municipality take the water samples, which are tested and paid for by Interior Health. Jacobsen said there are many factors that can lead to higher readings such as a failing septic system, a big rain that results in run off from beaches including public or dog beaches, which would sweep feces into the water. But she adds that water quality in general in the Okanagan is excellent. “Lakes are not chlorinated or filtered and they are not swimming pools. They are a natural system so there is going to be things like swimmer’s itch or E-coli in the water. We monitor to see if there are extremes. We want the public to be aware. The beaches in the Okanagan are very safe to swim. We have excellent surface water quality. This program offers the public a level of security about our local beaches and I would recommend frequent beach users to visit the web site and check the water quality results.” Water quality results can be found at interiorhealth. ca. Under the Your Environment tab you will find recreational water and current beach sampling results. @KP_media1

It wasn’t exactly a warm up for Monday night’s blockbuster Aersosmith concert at Kelowna’s Prospera Place but it did give a handful of local fans an unexpected up-close and personal moment—albeit staged—with the band’s front man Steven Tyler. Tyler took a short stroll on the Kelowna lakefront promenade in Jim Stuart Park just hours before the concert and stopped at one of the five pianos Festivals Kelowna has set up outside for the public to play. With a camera crew in tow recording him—the footage was shown on a huge backdrop screen later during the concert— Tyler played a few bars of
Dream On as the passersby stopped and, realizing who it was, eagerly started snapping photos. Then, as quickly as he arrived, Tyler was gone. It was a tantalizing tease for the show to take place later that night inside Prospera Place. Aerosmith, the legendary rock band, already enshrined in the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, didn’t disappoint. Running through 19 songs that even the most casual fan would have recognized, they showed why after 40 years they are still a major act. And, true to their early day roots of the 1970s and early ’80s, the band still uses the tell-tale gimmicks of that era in its shows. Several of them have become rock and roll

show cliches—the long hair, strategically placed fans on stage to blow that long hair around, the tight leather pants, the obligatory, elongated drum solo halfway through the show, the thunderous back beat, the face-searing guitar solos and, of course, the flowing robes and hats to kick off the show. But visuals aside, despite their age—Tyler and Perry are both in the mid-’60s—Aerosmith repeatedly showed why they’re still a force to be reckoned with in rock. They had the packed house at Propsera on its feet all night, pumping their fists in the air and dancing to the music as Perry gyrated around the stage, twirling his microphone stand. In one of the funnier moments, Tyler spotted a small group in the stands off to the left of the stage who were still seated and exhorted them to get up on their feet. “You’re showing your age,” bellowed the 67-year-old singer, who now bears a distinct resemblance to an aging Capt. Jack Sparrow of Pirates of the Caribbean fame.
But for most in the crowd, they did not need any urging to get on their feet and sing along. With a huge highdefinition video screen behind them and a crew of roaming camera operators on stage catching all the closeups of Tyler, Perry and the other three members of the band, every move was projected for all to see. In addition to the footage of Tyler playing the piano in Jim Stuart Park earlier, there were two other nods to Kelowna during the show. One was video footage of Perry wearing a Kelowna Rockets jersey and the other, a lasting image of the Dolphins fountain across the street from Prospera displayed as fans left the arena. Despite the steep ticket price of nearly $200 each, the only complaint heard by the end of the show was how loud it was. “Hey, I can hardly hear, bellowed one man to his compatriot. “But God it was a great show. Fantastic.” And that one line summed up Aerosmith’s first appearance in Kelowna. @kelownacapnews

A 22-year-old man is in custody after attempts were made Monday morning to light a fire inside the Pihl Law Corporation office building in downtown Kelowna. The man, who reportedly fought with one of the lawyers after being discovered and then with firefighters before he was detained, appeared in court Tuesday and was remanded for a psychological evaluation. Pihl Law founder David Pihl told a local radio station he found the man trying to set a fire with a full packet of cigarettes in a stairwell and when he approached him was kicked and fell down the stairs injuring his shoulder. When firefighters arrived they were also attacked, said the Kelowna Fire Department. According to the KFD, firefighters responded to a smoke alarm from the building in the 1400 block of Ellis Street at 10:19 a.m. on Monday. Pihl Law shares the building with another law firm, Porter Ramsay. When firefighters arrived at the building it was already being evacuated. Pihl said as he was ushering people out, he discovered the man near a fire that appeared to have been intentionally ignited in some clothing and was burning the carpet and a door. That was when the man struggled with, and kicked, Pihl, causing his to fall down a flight of stairs. Firefighters extinguished the blaze but were also attacked by the man, they said. The firefighters restrained the struggling suspect until police arrived to arrest him. One firefighter sustained a minor injury to his hand from the attack. While the damage to the building was localized, the fire department noted smoke infiltration required the evacuation of the building for about 30 minutes.
RIVER FISHING CLOSURE
Low water levels endanger fish Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com
The announcement of a level 3 drought rating for several regions of the Southern Interior doesn’t bode well for the future of rainbow trout in the region’s rivers and streams. That’s the reaction of Trout Unlimited’s Okanagan chapter to news that the Kettle and West Kettle rivers, along with other Southern Interior streams and rivers, will be closed to fishing from July 15 to Sept. 15 due to low stream flows and warming water temperatures. “If this (drought) is the new norm and what we are going to live in, what that means to trout populations is they are going to retreat to (higher) elevations,” said Travis Lowe, president of Trout Unlimited Okanagan. “In terms of where trout can live, places like the Kettle where

SOLUTIONS MIXED MESSAGES
You should never mix spray heads, rotors or drip irrigation in the same zone. The water application rates for each of these types is different. For example, rotors apply approximately half the water of spray heads. If you set your timer to the correct amount of water for the spray heads, the areas with the rotors will not get enough water and you will end up with dry spots. If you then set your timer to the correct time for the rotors, the areas with spray heads will be drowned. Check the manufacturers specifications of your heads to determine the gallons per minute for your water pressure to ensure proper coverage and water timing. Drip irrigation works on the same principle. Drip irrigation works on application rates of gallons per hour, whereas rotors work on gallons per minute. If you combine these two types of irrigation in one zone, the drip irrigation will not deliver enough water to your plants, whereas if you set the amount of time for the drip irrigation correctly you could end up with a pool in your backyard where the sprays and rotors are located. Over and under-watering are major factors that affect the health of your plants which can lead to disease. It is also a major waste of water.

this year had already had its regulations changed and was going to be closed from July 25 to Aug. 25, a time where low flows and warm water temperatures reached levels that are fatal to fish. For Trout Unlimited, which has worked on several stream rehabilitation projects on the Kettle and West Kettle, the longer closure is welcome, even though the drought conditions cast a murky picture for the future of the river. “The closure comes as a relief,” said Lowe. “We are all worried about the future. I can foresee a time when rivers like these ones are not going to have fish stocks in them to provide an angling opportunity.” Level 3 drought conditions call for voluntary water use reductions of 20 per cent or more from all municipal, agricultural and industrial users.
Staff with the B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations anticipate that these regions could experience significant water supply shortages in 2015. Ministry staff are closely monitoring river levels and ecosystems and may upgrade the drought level if the weather continues to have a negative effect on stream flows and water supply. Although residential, agricultural and industrial users within municipalities and regional districts backed by reservoir storage are less vulnerable to water supply shortages than water users served by smaller water systems from streams, lakes and wells, all water users are encouraged to observe local water conservation bylaws to prolong water supplies. @KP_media1

it is so hot and where there is no moisture (rain), they will eventually become uninhabitable for trout.” On Monday, the B.C. government announced the closure of fishing on streams and rivers including the Kettle and West Kettle and its tributaries, along with an area that covers most of the South Okanagan. Lake fishing is not affected by the order. It’s the second region of B.C. to come under such a closure after an angling closure was put in place for southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. Provincial fisheries biologists are monitoring approximately 60 other key angling streams throughout the province, and if conditions warrant, additional closures are possible. In the Central Okanagan, the most pressure comes on the Kettle and West Kettle, which
Water researcher and community advocate Christine Mettler will be part of a team venturing down the Fraser River over the next month. The team is part of the Sustainable Living Leadership Society, which is run by the Rivershed Society. They will be traveling from the Fraser River’s headwaters at Mount Robson to the ocean, some 1,400 kilometres away. The team will travel by canoe, shuttle wagon and rafting, all depending on how treacherous is the water. The journey will take from July 16 to Aug. 9, and offer an opportunity to experience how the ecosystem operates. “You can go into a classroom and learn about this stuff
and understand it intellectually, but it’s another thing entirely to live that experience and be on the water and really understand how that ecosystem operates,” Mettler explained. “To be on the water is a much different experience, so we’ll learn about different issues currently facing B.C., sustainable living, environmental economics and experience it as we camp and make our way down the river.” After moving to Kelowna from Ontario last September, Mettler has had several daylong hiking and canoe trips in Ontario and on Vancouver Island before, but never anything on this scale. “I’m really interested in connecting people to watersheds through their environment, making that really visible and thinking

Mettler describes hers as an exhibition on the social life of water, which will include a multimedia presentation on how people in the Okanagan have shaped and altered water, and how we engage and use it. Mettler’s goal is to have people think about how
we use water, and what it would mean to use it sustainably. She added water issues are particularly pressing this year due to the drought throughout southern B.C.

PROTECTING WATERSHEDS
Mudboggers find their way Laundry union appeals to West Kelowna around fenced drinking water Alistair Waters
awaters@kelownacapnews.com
Richard Rolke Black Press
Mudboggers roaring around watersheds have local communities calling for action. The Okanagan Basin Water Board discussed the issue of source protection Tuesday and specifically recreational activities that threaten water quality and critical infrastructure, such as dams. “I don’t know how we get around the recreational aspect and desecration?” said director James Baker. Much of the discussion revolved around the Greater Vernon Water Utility’s experience with people entering the Duteau Creek watershed. “They love to get out in their ATVs and four-byfours,” said Renee Clark, GVWU water quality manager. “The reservoirs get drawn down in the summer and it looks like a great place to go and play.” Another concern is what all-terrain vehicles
do to the integrity of dams holding back reservoirs. “If they breach, the inundation area is Lumby and there would be property damage. Who would be liable for that? We would,” said Clark, adding that the water utility owns the dam and is responsible for safety. “We have tried to fence the dams but it’s a big area and new routes are found.” There have also been problems with other infrastructure being damaged and warning signs being shot and utility staff must clean up the trash and human waste left behind (there are no outhouses at the reservoirs). Clark says the situation at Duteau Creek is experienced in watersheds throughout the Okanagan and something must be done. “Let’s find some way to do this from a political and policy perspective,” she said. “If we can protect the source, treatment is a lot less.”
Presently, a license of occupation through the provincial government doesn’t allow for exclusive use of a watershed by a utility. Among the possible options are leasing the land to prevent recreational activities or establishing recreational campsites at reservoirs so there are some guidelines in place. Clark isn’t convinced that formal campsites will work given summer conditions at reservoirs. “The lakes are drawn down in August so they’re not a place people will hang out at (to camp) but people will still ATV,” she said. Doug Findlater, OBWB chairperson, points out that there was an issue with ATVs in the Bear Creek watershed, off of Westside Road, and various agencies came together to create formal trails and enforcement. “They took control of it and allowed people in but under controlled conditions,” he said.

In its bid to convince Interior Health to stop a plan to contract out laundry services at hospitals across the Southern Interior, including at Kelowna General Hospital, the Hospital Employees’ Union is now trying to enlist the support of West Kelowna city council. Representatives of the union will make a presentation to West Kelowna council Tuesday during council’s regularly scheduled public meeting. A similar bid to present to Kelowna city council at a public meeting was rejected earlier this year because Kelowna’s bylaws concerning how council meetings are run do not allow for public presentations. The union said it would meet privately with Mayor Colin Basran but that meeting did not take place and Basran has since said his council won’t get involved. On Tuesday, the HEU’s third vice-president Ken Robinson and Kelowna General Hospital laundry worker Jessica
ANTICS ON THE WATER
Doing ‘doughnuts’ leads to sinking Last Sunday, just after 9 p.m., the RCMP says a West Kelowna man called them to say he was looking at an orange and white boat that was mostly submerged in Okanagan Lake approximately 300 metres off shore near Kalamoir Park in West Kelowna. The caller said he could see four people in the water. The West Kelowna Fire Department rescue boat
and the RCMP boat were sent out, and with the aid of a Jetski operator, police officers assisted the stricken boat passengers until the fire department boat arrived to take the occupants, three male and one female, on board. The boaters were taken to the Kelowna Yacht Club to be examined by paramedics before being released. Police say the boat
was seen to be doing ‘doughnuts’ on the lake prior to it taking on water and sinking. Transport Canada has been advised. The boat’s occupants ranged in age from 30 -years-old to their early 40s. All are Kelowna residents.
The RCMP is reminding boaters to wear approved life jackets or at least have them easily accessible in the case of an emergency. Boaters are also being advised to avoid unsafe operation of vessels as that could lead to a loss of control of the vessel.

Knee Arthritis and Knee Injuries Successfully Treated by Shockwave Therapy
W
hether you are an athlete, in your golden years of retirement, or the typical person on your feet all day at work, you know there’s nothing more debilitating than a knee injury. Knee injuries have many faces and causes and these three groups of people are susceptible to the same injuries but from different causes. Tendon injuries are the most common: Iliotibial band syndrome (pain on the outside of the knee); Patellar tendonitis (pain below the knee); and hamstring injuries (leading to pain in the back of the knee). As well, arthritis plagues many and often results in knee replacement surgery. And unfortunately, many knee surgery patients (due to ligament or cartilage tears) frequent our office.
tendon, binding the knee and often creating soft tissue pain. For the past four years I have been using Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) to treat these conditions, because shockwave therapy breaks down scar tissue and stimulates blood vessel growth to restore muscle function and promote healing. The Journal of Surgical Research 2012 showed ESWT is effective in preventing knee arthritis. In The American Journal Of Sports Medicine 2007, 90% showed significant improvement in patellar tendonitis. Furthermore, The Archives of Orthopedic Trauma Surgery 2007 showed significant reduction in the progression of knee arthritis (ESWT stimulates cells to produce cartilage). Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

B.C. nurse leads Red Cross unit to Nepal Barry Gerding Disasters around the world have a way of landing on the doorstep of Patrice Gordon. As a nurse practitioner and Red Cross volunteer, her job skills are often needed wherever people are overcoming severe adversity. Such is the case this month as Gordon leads a 20-person Red Cross Emergency Response Unit, which includes West Kelowna city councillor Rosalind Neis, to the town of Vatunche in Nepal. Since that country was rocked by an earthquake in April which killed more than 9,000, injured 23,000, and devastated the country’s already fragile infrastructure, humanitarian efforts

in Nepal, largely there to help restore public health services, provide equipment and for now tent facilities for local medical doctors and nurses and to help with the emotional after-shock of the earthquake. For Gordon, a resident of Horn Lake in B.C.’s Chilcotin, the trip comes soon after her return from an Ebola treatment centre in Sierra Leone last year. She came home with what she called “a bad cold,” but was admitted to Kelowna General Hospital initially to ensure it wasn’t actually symptoms of the virus. She tested negative for the highly contagious disease. “It was a little bit overblown as I was pretty certain I just had a cold but it was a case of being sure that’s all it was. My
cold went away but the publicity around that hung around for quite awhile,” Gordon said. Looking out from Vatunche, which is north of Kathmandu, Gordon said there is plenty of evidence to have a bleak attitude about the country’s immediate future. She said the ravages of the earthquake that extends up the Langtang Valley close to the border with Tibet, are obvious. “We are about 7,000 feet above sea level here and when you look up the Langtang Valley, it’s one of the areas hardest hit by the earthquake, where so many villages were just flattened.” Making matters worse, the monsoon season has arrived and mountain passes are either impossible or extremely
hazardous to travel. “This country had many needs prior to the earthquake and those needs have since been magnified. Now with the monsoons, access to food and water become enormous problems. If you look too broadly at what this country needs to recover, it will simply overwhelm you,” she said. So the focus of Gordon’s emergency response unit is on the medical side for one village, working 15 to 16 hours shifts and putting up with living in large canvass tents that receive frequent visits from snakes, rats and leeches. Gordon said her team is international with members from Canada, Japan, Australia, Mexico and Colombia. “I’ve been involved with other organizations but I am really proud to be part of the Red Cross and the work they do around the world.” “When you come home,” Gordon said, “it does make you feel a little guilty when you see all that we have, and how the things we stress out about are so out of touch with what people in a country like Nepal have to deal with in their daily lives.” To donate to the Nepal relief effort visit the Red Cross website at redcross.ca.

OBWB wants mussel inspection stations The Okanagan Basin Water Board is strengthening its case against invasive mussels. Last week, directors upgraded their position on zebra and quagga mussels and the potential risk the species poses to Okanagan waterways. “We are trying to put pressure on the provincial government to do more and have five inspection stations,” said director Juliette Cunningham. “There is a cost if we don’t stop (mussels) from arriving here.” It’s believed the annual impact to government, businesses and residents could be more than $43 million if the mussels take hold in local lakes. “This scenario has played out across watersheds throughout North America, where ecosystems and local economies have been drastically altered by these invaders,” states OBWB’s position statement. Zebra and quagga mussels are native to eastern Europe and have spread across North America since the 1980s. They clog water intake pipes, pumps and boat motors. They also deplete food sources for fish and produce toxins that kill fish and birds and contaminate drinking water. As part of the changes to the position statement, the board is calling on the provincial government to fund permanent, mandatory inspection stations for boats at the five major crossings between B.C. and Alberta. In March, Victoria announced three mobile stations. “OBWB strongly urges the provincial government to consider the cost to the province and local governments for the long-term treatment, mitigation or control of zebra or quagga mussels if the province fails to enact appropriate prevention measures and consequently the species are introduced,” says the position statement. “We call on the province to commit to funding all treatment and containment programs in infested waters should an invasion occur.” While the government may be concerned about the cost of running monitoring stations, Cunningham says the budget could come from a boater-pay sticker program, similar to those in the U.S. “Those with watercraft pay and it seems effective. I’m not sure why the province is reluctant to look at that,” she said. OBWB also wants water utilities to review what upgrades and maintenance measures will be needed if the mussels arrive and ways to prevent service interruptions.

Dharma Bizier plays the role of Brenda Strong and Chad Abrahamson is Frank W. Abagnale Jr. in the musical stage production of Catch Me If You Can. THEATRE Catch Me If You Can July 22 to Aug. 8 Kelowna Actors Studio 1379 Ellis St. Based on the hit DreamWorks film and the true story that inspired it, Catch Me If You Can is the high flying, splashy musical that tells the story of Frank W. Abagnale, Jr., a teenager who runs away from home in search of the glamorous life. With nothing more than his boyish charm, a big imagination and millions of dollars in forged checks, Abagnale successfully poses as a pilot, a doctor and a lawyer, living the high life and winning the girl of his dreams. But his trail of lies catches the attention of FBI agent Carl Hanratty, who chases Frank to the end...and finds something he never expected. “We’re really excited to be one of the first companies in British Columbia to produce Catch Me If You Can. This show is just pure fun—it’s a splashy, high-energy trip back to the ‘60s. This is a full-on dance show, and we’ve got a cast that’s definitely up to it,” said director Matt Brown. “Even if you’re not familiar with Frank’s amazing life story or the Steven Spielberg film, you will be drawn in by this fabulous new musical,” added KAS artistic managing director Randy Leslie, cast in the role of Carl Hanratty. “When I saw it for the first time, I was so blown away that I knew we had to bring it to the Okanagan. It mixes the vintage feel of the swinging 1960s with fresh show-stopping musical numbers and choreography. It’s just
an incredibly fun and heartwarming show.” In the film, Leonardo DiCaprio played Frank Abagnale Jr., a young con-man who posed as a doctor, lawyer and Pan Am pilot before he was 21. Tom Hanks played the FBI agent who travels across several continents in pursuit of Abagnale. Playing DiCaprio’s role of the infamous con-man Chad Abrahamson. Abrahamson is in his final year of the opera program at the University of Manitoba. His past roles with Kelowna Actors Studio include White Christmas, The Producers and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. Also featured in the production are Dharma Bizier as Brenda Strong. Bizier has been accepted into Sheridan College (Toronto) to study musical theatre in September. Recent credits include Rusty in Footloose (The Musical) and Tzeitel in last years successful run of Fiddler On The Roof. Casey Easton takes on the role of Frank Abagnale Sr. while KAS resident choreographer Jennifer Davies takes plays Paula Abagnale. For tickets, go to kelownaactorsstudio. com. ART EXHIBIT Wally Dion: Mapping Me In… Until Sept. 20 Kelowna Art Gallery 1315 Water St. Visitors to a new show at the Kelowna Art Gallery by artist Wally Dion will no doubt be intrigued by the works hanging on the wall— these aren’t your typical paintings. Colourful, repeated geometric forms are
rendered in relief, and bridge the gap between sculpture and painting. Wally Dion likes to work with small units that he fits together like puzzle pieces to create his final images. He incorporates handmade concentric wooden structures and makes use of “tracks” within the structures that he fills with layer upon layer of paint. The results may remind visitors of the way the rings of a tree look when cut in a cross section. The exhibition, entitled Mapping Me In… is guest curated by Felicia Gay and is one in the Kelowna Art Gallery’s One on One series. This series is curated each year by an emerging Canadian First Nations curator who selects an emerging Canadian First Nations artist to work with. This year Saskatoonbased freelance curator Felicia Gay selected Wally Dion. Dion holds a BFA from the University of Saskatchewan and an MFA from Rhode Island School of Design. He has exhibited extensively throughout Canada and has had numerous solo exhibitions. His work can be found in prominent collections, including the Canada Council Art Bank, MacKenzie Art Gallery (Regina), and the Mendel Art Gallery in Saskatoon. CONCERT Carly Thomas July 25 8:30 p.m. Neighbours Pub 3099 Shannon Lake Rd. West Kelowna Carly Thomas was born in Thailand and raised in Argentina, France, and various parts of the United States and Canada. Along the way she discovered her soul in music, and launched a career that started under the bright lights of Paris, where she played
the famous Fête de la Musique when she was just 16. At 17, she moved to New York City, developing her craft and stage presence at open mics and clubs in Manhattan’s lower east side. She continued to play and write over the next decade, spending time living and traveling throughout Canada. The “Say Yes” tour will include 17 stops in Alberta and British Columbia. “This tour is all about saying yes to adventure and possibility,” Thomas said. “It’s about taking my career to the next level and proving that even independent artists can carve out their own path and find success. We are very lucky in Canada to have such support and love of music.” Thomas is supporting her most recent EP, Explode. She has also released two full-length CDs, Distance (2003) and Up This High (2010). CONCERTS Performances by Martina McBride, The Wallflowers and Chris Botti Mission Hill Family Estate Winery outdoor amphitheatre West Kelowna Mission Hill Family Estate will play host to three concerts this summer at the West Kelowna winery’s outdoor amphitheatre.

Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1987 and featured three overachieving actors attempting to perform all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays in 90 minutes. Fast-paced, witty, and physical, it’s an evening of laughter for Shakespeare lovers and haters alike. After a suitably pompous literary introduction, Act One launches into a highly condensed version of Romeo and Juliet, followed by modern interpretations of Titus Andronicus and Othello.

Opinion OUR VIEW
Perhaps a breath of fresh air in the Middle East The turbulence of the Middle East seems light years away from the summer vacation focus of the Okanagan. But as tourists and local residents alike head for the shores of Okanagan Lake to relax and get a tan, diplomats from numerous countries culminated a lengthy negotiating process to hash out a nuclear accord with Iran this week. On Monday, a deal was reached which, if approved, will shape the destiny of the Middle East for the next decade at least and possibly beyond in a positive way. While the deal is complicated, it essentially bans Iran from possessing or creating nuclear arms for the next 10 years under stringent inspection protocols carried out by the UN. In return, the economic penalties that Iran has been submitted to for many years in response to pushing its nuclear research program in a military direction will be lifted, opening up billions that has been trapped in foreign banks for the country’s government and allowing it to begin selling oil worldwide again. While the agreement’s focus is to curb Iran’s nuclear weapons development control, it also may offer a chance for that country to mature into something more as a nation beyond just a cradle for exporting religious fanaticism. That is not where the average Iranian’s head is at. They want a better life, more exposure to western culture. For a country where the majority of the population is under the age of 40, lifting economic sanctions is a step in that direction. As history has shown us from the fall of Communism, the lure of economic prosperity is far more powerful a notion than military power. In this case, it could become a lynch pin for change in Iran as the sanctions disappear, a tide a ruling government resisting to change won’t be able to stop. Hopefully, this accord can be a step forward in that direction, a reflection that for once in the Middle East, outsiders have tried to do the right thing.

Don’t take this Canadian’s citizenship away According to the B.C. Civil Liberties City Association, my Confidential Canadian citizenship is second tier despite ALISTAIR the fact I was born WATERS in this country to a naturalized Canadian citizen, have never even contemplated dual citizenship and have lived in Canada for 42 of my 52 years of life. (As a kid I lived overseas for 10 years, returning when I was 18 years old.) Since I was eight, I have had a Canadian passport. But the association maintains that under a new federal law the government of Canada could strip me of my Canadian citizenship if I was convicted of a serious crime, like terrorism—either here in Canada or abroad— or if I live outside the country for an extended period. Under international law, a country cannot strip its citizens of their citizenship if they have no other country to claim them. But for me, like thousands of other Canadians who are eligible—but have not acted on—dual citizenship, the government says we have somewhere else to go. The revelation came as a shock. And frankly, after reading local MP Ron Cannan’s response to questions he says he has fielded about the issue, I don’t feel any better. That’s because while Cannan addressed the issue of stripping naturalized Canadians of their citizenship in a recent column that appears on the Kelowna Capital News website (www.kelownacapnews.com/ opinion/313377551.html) he didn’t talk about those who are merely eligible for dual citizenship. Now, while it’s not likely I am about to become an international terrorist—I wouldn’t know an AK-47 (gun) from a B-52’s record—some may say “if you don’t do

anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about.” But, and there’s always a but, it’s the premise that citizenship can be taken away, not just from someone who came here from elsewhere and chose Canada over his or her former country, but from someone who actually is a Canadian born and bred, that bothers me. We have a justice system to deal with criminals and we see Canadians pass through it every day of the week. Is that not adequate? And if not, shouldn’t we be fixing it? As for living abroad, Canadians live in other countries for a number of legitimate reasons. According to opponents of the new federal law, Canadians who are not eligible for dual citizenship cannot be stripped of their Canadian citizenship. They, say the opponents, fall into a higher tier of citizenship. Of course, there are many in this country who are unaware that they are eligible for dual citizenship. So it may be a shock to them as well. I think I understand what the federal Conservative government was trying to do with the law but it appears to have included far-reaching powers that may, or not, have been intended. Citizenship is the overriding right of people born in a country. It grants them other rights and demands responsibilities. I am Canadian. I have always considered myself Canadian, even as a kid living in Ireland. And I’ll be damned if some right-leaning group of lawmakers in Ottawa will take that away from me because they are hell-bent on winning a few votes in the upcoming election by trying to look tough on crime. The law will likely be challenged in the Supreme Court of Canada and will likely be struck down as unconstitutional. But the fact it was introduced in the first place says a lot about the people who crafted it. And none of that is good. Alistair Waters is the assistant editor of the Capital News.

To help remedy this problem and raise awareness, when selling cigarettes retailers could ask customers if they also wish to purchase a smokeless pocket and/or car
ashtrays. At present, these are items which I have only seen in dollar stores, which do not sell cigarettes. In addition to this, it may help if the government instructed tobacco companies to add a new additional fire risk warning on the packets too. Gillian Evans, Peachland
INVASIVE SPECIES
Working with water board to increase cut of milfoil To the editor: A rapid proliferation of Eurasian milfoil has occurred this year in Okanagan Lake, north of Mission Creek, due in part to unprecedented high spring temperatures and high flows, and nutrient and sediment loads in the creek. One area that is heavily colonized is the foreshore area off of the newly designated parkland at the foot of Cedar Avenue. This beach is sandy and up until now was an excellent shallow swimming beach. Now, the bay is full of milfoil and poses safety risks to swimmers and paddlers. It is very encouraging to see Okanagan Basin Water Board moving quickly to engage the community and to address this rapidly emerging problem. According to the board, this milfoil bloom is the worst in 30 years. The board is hopeful it can secure
provincial approval and increase funding from stakeholders to expand its 2015 summer milfoil cutting program. Hopefully, federal, provincial and local stakeholders will hear the board’s message and be able to react quickly and with foresight to help fund this initiative. Perhaps the Chamber of Commerce and the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association will also support the program, since tourism is such a large part of the Okanagan economy. In this regard, the KLONA neighbourhood association north of Mission Creek is working with the board and stakeholders to raise awareness of the issues and to urge local officials to be adaptive and to support and fund an expanded milfoil cutting program along Kelowna’s shoreline.

Translink must win back confidence My wife and I recently returned from a visit to France. We boarded the TVG train at Paris DeGaule and headed south to LeMans. The fare was very reasonable, the ride was smooth, with large windows and spacious comfortable seating and the trip was a pleasure. What got my attention though, was that the track paralleled the motorway for several long sections and the cars and trucks appeared to be going backwards even though the highway speed limit was 100 km. Quick reference to my handheld GPS confirmed that we were traveling at 250 km while sipping our latte’, enjoying the view and the charming conversation with an elderly lady seated across from us. My mind went back to Vancouver. How many gridlocked motorists would persist in sitting in their cars, fuming at the endless delays, after they had witnessed the high speed commuter whistling down the middle of the freeway, into downtown Vancouver, its passengers sipping their Starbucks and getting started on the days laptop work? It would be a no brainer. Further, with this kind of system in place, suburbia could easily spread to Hope as the 40 minute commute would allow for homes that young families could actually afford instead of being crammed into a 350 sq.ft. shoebox downtown. Another bonus? With the removal of a substantial number of cars, the bridge building and freeway expansion programs could be extended into the future. Sustainable transit is possible, Europe and the UK have proved it. But, the Translink axe needs to start at the top, not with those that

To the editor: KeLOwNA CROSSiNg (By COStCO) 140-2463 Hwy 97 778-484-2688 Off Old Vernon Road on the east side of the airport runway, Anderson Road runs up to the Sunset Golf Course and the newly developing Sunset Ranch Subdivision. This of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen three kilometer stretch of two lane road has exploded into a major Ingress/Egress for cars, trucks, commercial vehicles, farm equipment, bike riders, motor cycles of all sizes and power, walkers with and without dogs, hiker s, horse riders, etc. The speed limit is 50 km/h from Old Vernon Road’s 70 km/h and has warning signs to of the Central and South beware of horse riders, hidden driveways Okanagan / Similkameen and view impediments where 30 km/h has been posted. There are over six different government departments as well as the RCMP that have been advised of the growing concern over someone/something getting hurt or killed on this stretch. After several months of discussions, meetings, emails, etc. with these groups, we finally figured we were at an dead end as to who may be able to help. One recent morning on the way into town at top of the crest of the first hill coming east was a super surprise. A lighted speed indicator sign was set for anyone beginning the run up Anderson Road. Wise. Those going would then know when they were coming back down to be cautious. At this time, we don’t know who was really responsible for doing, this but I believe it was the Department of Highways—one of the groups we discussed this with. Who ever you are: Thank you, thank you, thank you! On behalf of the residents, critters, riders, walkers—you did good. Joel Rickard, Kelowna
COMMUTER GRIDLOCK
To the editor: Mr. Wong raises some interesting points in his open letter to Premier Clark with regard to the “Failed Referendum.” (Realtors Take Clark to Task After Lower Mainland Transit Referendum Fails, July 10 Kelowna Capital News.) It should first be noted that the referendum did not fail—the people spoke their mind and the referendum was defeated. Therefore it was a success—not a failure. It is understandable that those whose livelihood is dependent upon sustainable growth in Vancouver and the suburban real estate market would like to see a more cohesive and cost effective transportation system. Don’t we all? However, the No vote was not rejecting this concept, they were exercising their democratic right by endorsing a vote of nonconfidence in the bloated bureaucracy that Translink has become. The constant breakdowns, the failed multimillion dollar tap card system now heading for the scrap heap, the obscene salaries and severance packages, etc. Families and commuters are being crushed under the load of taxes, fees and add-ons while fighting to keep their heads above water and still live in the Vancouver core. The No vote reflects the fact that commuters are now demanding accountability and value for their transportation dollar. One of the most overlooked transportation solutions to the gridlock is hidden in plain sight. I refer to the miles of green grass growing in the middle of the Highway 1 from Chilliwack to Vancouver.

Dean ‘the compost guy’ Dack understands the complex nature of compost and the value it adds to your garden.
CONSERVATION EFFORT
Compost great for your plants and utilizes water efficiently Judie Steeves Contributor
Perhaps you’ve seen him at your local farmer’s market. Dean Dack, ‘the compost guy,’ might be considered one of your garden’s best friends, helping create healthy, WaterWise landscapes in the Okanagan. According to Dack of Classic Compost, good soil, containing lots of compost, is the key to growing healthy plants; plants which need less water as a result. He is passionate about growing healthy lawns and plants and about conserving the valley’s precious water resource at the same time. “People call me up to tell me about the threepound tomatoes they grew with the help of my compost,” he says enthusiastically. “This is a very satisfying job,” he adds with a grin. As he explains it, there are already nutrients in soil, but they are “locked up until a microbe digests it and processes it. “Those soil citizens eat the carbon and organic matter and then they poop, burp and fart in the soil, and in the process create nutrients that plants can use,” he explains with a mischievous smile. “You’d need a microscope to see
all the critters, but there are lots of minerals and nutrients in compost,” he adds. Dack advises lawns should be top dressed with fine compost that isn’t high in nitrogen, like synthetic lawn fertilizers are. “Proper compost feeds the microbes in the soil,” he says, and helps the lawn retain moisture so it needs to be watered less often. Besides, he says, an over-watered lawn gets lazy. It doesn’t grow deep roots, so all the roots tend to be on the surface of the soil where they quickly dry out in the Okanagan’s hot summer sun. Instead, you should water more deeply, but less often, to encourage the lawn’s roots to grow deep, where they are less vulnerable to the summer’s heat. That said, he adds, it’s important to know what kind of soil your lawn is grown in. If it’s sand, water will just leach right through, and if it’s clay, it
will stay too wet, so a combination of sand, clay and compost is ideal. Adding a compost mulch to lawns and around plants also helps to conserve moisture and prevent evaporation in the heat of summer, helping reduce heat stress on plants and keeping them healthier and less susceptible to insects and disease. “We should be feeding the soil, instead of fertilizing plants,” he explains, adding, “If the plants are healthy there’s less disease and they require less water.” Over-fertilizing lawn is also an issue, says Dack. “If you put on too much fertilizer, it’s like putting your lawn on steroids and thatch builds up. It’s hydrophobic so water can’t get through to the root zone of grasses,” he explains. “People need to be educated about soils and how important it is to be water conscious,” he says. Communities should also have landscape and
irrigation standards and enforcement of them. Holding up a handful of rich, dark composted soil, he says, “We have the whole world in our hands and we have to look after it.” With 24 per cent of all Okanagan water used on household lawns and gardens, and less water available per person than anywhere in Canada, valley residents are encouraged to reduce outdoor water use this summer.

Algae bloom requires action Richard Rolke Black Press
New measures are being demanded to fight a potential threat to water quality. Okanagan Basin Water Board directors voted last week to write the Ministry of Health and request that a blue green algae response protocol be completed for communities. “There’s nothing in place for municipalities or water utilities to react (with),” said Anna Warwick Sears, OBWB executive director. “There’s a draft (of the protocol) in place, sitting on the desk of the deputy minister of health.” It was anticipated the ministry’s response protocol would be released in the spring. The process began after a blue green algae bloom on Osoyoos Lake in 2013 and blooms on high elevation lakes near Summerland and West

an outbreak of the algae could negatively impact beaches and water intakes. While the Ministry of Health continues to review the proposed protocol, some OBWB officials believe they should notify municipal staff about the issue. “We should take a leadership role,” said director Tracy Gray. “It’s important to
reiterate that those people know what to look for.” Response to an algae bloom appears limited. “You can’t disperse the bloom but you can close a beach,” said Warwick Sears. That view is also supported by director Peter Waterman. “There’s nothing you can do but avoidance,” he said.
by phosphorus pollution combined with stable weather and warm water temperatures. “The one-celled organisms divide rapidly, forming a noxious, pea soup or oil slick appearance on the water. Wind or wave action can disperse the bloom. Only certain species produce toxins, but it’s not possible to identify them by sight, so lab tests are necessary,” states the OBWB website.

Q
I am concerned about having my area rugs removed from my home to be cleaned. Is there another way?
In-plant rug cleaning involves beating the backing of the area rug with a 100-125 pound mechanical rug beater, immersing it in a large tub of water, spinning to remove excess water and hanging for 2-3 days to dry. In some cases fine wool rugs are placed on a cold cement floor and pressure washed (steam cleaned). These overly aggressive methods are risky for most rugs and usually unnecessary. There is a better way! Oxy-Dry® is a deep cleaning, ultra low moisture method that enables us to clean area rugs on hardwood, laminate or carpet with no concern to the floor underneath nor any risk of shrinking, color bleeding or backing distortion. We use green seal certified and wool safe cleaning products and with over 40 years of carpet cleaning experience you can be sure your fine rugs are safely cleaned while you watch. As an added bonus our exclusive ozone boost system will kill all germs, bacteria and viruses on contact on the carpet fiber as well as eradicating dust mites. We will also include an organic based protector in our service resulting in a rug that stays clean up to 3 times longer. Most area rugs will dry in 30-60 minutes. So no more bare floors for 1-2 weeks while anxiously waiting for them to return hoping they are undamaged. Connect with us online and call Oxy-Dry® to clean your area rugs and we’ll make them look beautiful again without any inconvenience or distress! www.oxy-dry.ca 250-860-4595 Oxy-Dry®…your FRESH choice!

OKANAGAN COLLEGE
With a vast network of automotive-related businesses, the Okanagan will continue to need skilled automotive service technicians, says one Okanagan College donor who has come forward with major support for the college’s new Trades Training Complex. Kelowna Kia has pledged $50,000 to the Bright Horizons Building for Skills campaign in support of the renovation
and expansion of the College’s trades training facilities along KLO Road. “Having been in the Okanagan for 43 years, I wanted to give something back into the community and the industry that has been very good to me,” said Winfried Gradnitzer, dealer principal of Kelowna Kia. “I support the College’s vision for this wonderful new facility because I feel it is very important that

Road, part of the 10,000 square-metre renovation and expansion project. “We know that a significant percentage of the projected job openings in our province over the next decade will require trades and technical training,” said Okanagan College president Jim Hamilton. “This new facility, which will accommodate more than 2,600 students per year, will allow us to be proactive in training the skilled workers needed in our region, across the province, and throughout Western Canada. “We are very appreciative of Kelowna Kia’s investment in our students and our campus as we build for the next fifty years of trades training at Okanagan College.” Gradnitzer points out that investing in new tradespeople benefits many sectors of our regional economy, not just the trades. “Helping young people get started in automotive careers is certainly good for our industry but it also has a positive effect on many others sectors. This new complex will be good for our community as a whole.” Launched in October of last year, the Bright Horizons Building for Skills Campaign aims to raise $7 million—$5 million for capital construction and $2 million for student and program support— to complement the
provincial government’s $28-million investment. Auto dealers throughout the Okanagan have shown strong support for the project, on both the capital and student support side. A donation of $10,000 from the Kelowna Auto Dealers Association was one of the first donations which helped the campaign kickoff last fall; dealerships throughout the valley have collectively provided more than $600,000 to date. Campaign ambassador Mike Roberts points out that all donations, large or small, have a big impact on students. “Every dollar raised benefits students,” said Roberts. “When you see the impact that a bursary has on a student—when you see the look of pride and motivation on his or her face—it is something that is difficult to put into words.” In the past year, Okanagan College and the Okanagan College Foundation have disbursed more than $133,000 to trades students in scholarships and bursaries to help make trades training accessible for students. “It is very special seeing our community support students through this campaign. That support is absolutely crucial if we are going to reach our $7-million goal and help get these students into a world-class facility by next spring,” said Roberts.
Over the many pivotal stages of our lives, the companions we share along the way play a key part in the satisfaction we feel about life and contribute to our ability to manoeuver through the many challenges that come up along the way. Our social relationships have been proven, through many studies in many forms, to be a key factor affecting our health in a positive or negative way. I spent four days this past week on my yearly camping trip with six mighty female companions I have Seniors’ known for the Concerns past 25 years. Each member MARJORIE of the group HORNE must make a monumental effort to ensure this gathering happens, traveling from their home towns and rearranging seemingly difficult schedules. But once there, we all realize that it is so worth the effort to join together in this way to keep our circle alive. The conversation covers many topics as we sit in our lounge chairs around the now necessary propane fire, reflecting on our lives over the past year and also reaching back to the many changes we have all gone through over the course of our friendship. The fact that each of us is indelibly strengthened by this time of shared bonding is felt emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually as we come to part at the end of the four days. Without fail, I always come back refreshed and enlivened by the social connection of being with lieminded others and being whole-heartedly supported with issues that sometimes grow into mountains within the confines of my own active imagination. It is so much easier to withstand hardship with the support of a community, and the joyful moments of life are even sweeter when they can be celebrated with friends. Put quite simply, we need one another. It’s in our interactions with others that our individual qualities become polished and refined. Over the 13 years we gals have left our daily tasks behind and found solace in the trees and in each other, our sense of bonding has been honed to a well-oiled machine. Each person’s strengths and weaknesses make up the cauldron that steams to perfection, as incredible gourmet meals are prepared, dishes are done in basins on the picnic table, tents are managed to be erected, and emotions are shared and accepted. Each person is unique in what they offer and it comes together into a whole that is so rich and full in its achievement of companionship and even through occasional disagreement, unconditional acceptance. I sat back and observed in awe the effort of each person to extend themselves to make this happen and reveled in the result as we came together on our final morning at the picnic table to join hands and minds in closure for the ending to this special time of joining.

It seems that as we age, the effort to join can sometimes feel like pushing an elephant. To keep engaging and making the choice to not isolate, to not get lost in the cracks and gullies of our own minds, becomes more difficult as physical limitations, losses and challenges become more a part of our lives. Social support, which may include practical assistance (often referred to as instrumental support) and emotional support, helps individuals cope with life stressors. To improve our health as we age, the role of true companionship and connection to elevate our mood, release endorphins and foster well-being needs to be considered in more meaningful ways. Rather than just engaging in activities that bring a room full of people together or providing instrumental activities of daily living that support independence, how can we encourage a deeper sense of giving and receiving for our older seniors that engages the heart, allows it to open and form connections that may alleviate or buffer stress, enhance positive affect, support resilience and foster a person’s sense of selfworth? The potency of fostering these types of connections may be the necessary next frontier for targeted interventions to improve health across our growing lifespans and may directly result in a positive impact on the experience of aging. Where do we begin to engage heart-to-heart social relationships in building a healthier aging population? Providing opportunities for seniors to share their vulnerability, their feelings of loss for all that is passing away, their inner desires that still remain deep within in them is validating and necessary. I notice that when I do this with my clients, especially when increasing days of agitation and low energy are observed, sometimes tears are shed and in that bond of sharing, new energy and vitality comes with this release and the days that follow are brighter and happier. It is through the patience and time given for emotional reconnection that positive health changes can and do happen. Health is more about our state of mind than we realize and it takes time to understand the vision of life that moves in the heart of each person. Artist Ma Dev Padma wrote about companionship this way: “Real unity—the kind of unity that distinguishes a community from a mere crowd—lies in a profound quality of mutual respect and a deeply felt recognition of the value of each and every participant.” I do believe that practicing this respect of our elders in a new way, no matter what transitions of mind, body or environment they may be experiencing through the aging process, will elevate us as a society. Think about your way of interaction with the elders that are within your sphere of “community” and make a small shift to be a true companion. It really is good for you.

From May 28 to July 2 The Home Depot customers in the communities were invited to make a $2 donation in support of the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs Downtown Youth Center and Westside Youth Centre. In the photo, the donation is presented by a Kelowna store staff member to Jarrod Stocker, representing the boys and girls clubs. The Orange Door Project initiative, in 2013 the foundation made a three-year, $10-million pledge to support long-term solutions that will help put an end to youth homelessness in Canada. “Whether it’s through the funds raised by The Orange Door Project or the incredible support of associates who have renovated, painted and outfitted the Downtown and Westside Youth Centre, Home Depot is truly making a difference.

Author says altruism generates true happiness Happiness is that state of being it seems almost everyone is striving for. Many people ask me what it takes to be happy, to have a happy life. Of course, the idea of happiness and the experience Healing Minds of it can be different for everyone and there can be PAUL significant barriers LATIMER to happiness including mental and physical health issues, addiction, poverty or abuse to name only a few. I recently read an interesting article about a man scientists have called the happiest in the world. He offers a perspective on happiness I found refreshing. French biologist-turned Tibetan monk Mattieu Ricard earned his reputation as the happiest man in the world after scans of his brain showed the highest activity ever recorded in areas associated with positive emotion. Ricard has recently published a book called Altruism and claims happiness doesn’t come from the places we typically think it might. The title gives away his direction. Although our North American culture places a high value on personal pleasure as the root of happiness, Ricard argues something different. Rather than focusing on a selfish pursuit of pleasurable experiences, he says true happiness is more readily found in helping and focusing on the needs of others. Ricard’s book looks at scientific data from the fields of neuroscience, economic and psychology to examine what factors combine to cause human happiness. He says altruism and compassion, as well as a clear and stable mind, resilience and feelings of serenity and fulfillment combine to create happiness. Ricard suggests that obsession with self tends to lead to an amplification of hopes and fears and brooding on things that might affect us. As a result, even small events impact our well-being. According to Ricard, it is altruistic love that activates positive emotions in the brain and creates a profound feeling of fullness. He suggests a shift from our current selfish economy to a ‘caring economy’ where we concern ourselves with others and creating a society with good working conditions and social supports with an eye to the wellbeing of future generations. Ricard believes people are naturally altruistic but bad education can stifle that natural state. If we teach children they are kind, they will behave that way. We are at an important time in history right now. Many people around the world and in our own community are vulnerable because of war, poverty and oppression and our planet is struggling with climate change and its effects. There is no shortage of places to focus our compassion. Not only will an outward focus make a difference in the world, but we may get the added benefit of an improved sense of well-being.

Choir program offers children high-level music experience “The only thing better than singing is more singing!” Those words expressed by jazz singing legend Ella Fitzgerald have helped inspire a new singing venture in the Okanagan. The newly-formed Okanagan Children’s Choir, under the leadership of artistic director Frances Chiasson, plans to deliver all the advantages of musical instruction for area children,
while providing them with a highlevel musical experience. The benefits that young children receive through musical instruction at an early age—academic, emotional and social—have been well documented in research, and they can last throughout a lifetime, Chiasson says. “The Okanagan Children’s Choir will provide a positive and nurturing environment, introducing children

to high quality music, from a wide spectrum of musical genres: works by musical masters, folk songs, spirituals, show tunes, jazz standards and more,” Chiasson said. “Children in the choir will be encouraged to find their own voice and to make quality music in community with other children. Chiasson is a relative newcomer to the Okanagan, but not to choral music. She is a graduate of UBC’s
School of Music and has successfully worked with many fine choirs in both Canada and the UK. She is excited about forming this new group with the goal of reaching for musical excellence in a positive and nurturing environment. “I love working with singers of all ages, but there is something so wonderful and uplifting about the voices of young singers! I see so much musical potential in the children
here in the Okanagan, so there really is no limit to the music that we can create together,” she said. Auditions are now getting underway for girls and boys in Grades 4 through 7, and rehearsals will begin in September. To book an audition time, or for more information about the Okanagan Children’s Choir, check out okanaganchildrenschoir.ca or contact Frances Chiasson at 250-869-6817.

One of the most intriguing competitions in the 2015 B.C. Football Conference this season might not be between two rival teams. Perhaps it will be for the No. 1 quarterbacking job with the Okanagan Sun. The most veteran and incumbent among the team’s pivots is Cam Bedore, 22, who is entering his fifth and final season of junior football. But the W.J. Mouat grad fully expects to be pushed again by Josiah Joseph, 19, the secondyear pivot out of Mt. Boucherie who gained some valuable playing experience in 2014. Rounding out the QB corps are two 19-year-old rookies, Keith Zyla and Nick Wenman, who are coming off knee injuries last season and are anxious to get their junior football careers started. Sun QB coach Greg Patchell likes what all four pivots bring to the position, but as the most experienced twosome, Bedore and Joseph are the logical frontrunners for the No. 1 job. “Both are good athletes,” Patchell said of Bedore and Joseph. “Cam has been around the program, he’s experienced and he’s well respected by all the guys. Josiah is a very good quarterback and is going
to have a bright future. “We have a fabulous group of receivers and athletes on offense, so it’s going to be a matter of who shows the most composure, trust and confidence,” Patchell added, “and which guy can carry that into a game situation the best.” Still, the Sun isn’t discounting the possibility of using Zyla, who was an all-star in his final season of high school football in St. Albert, AB. Born in Florida before moving to Edmonton as a teenager, Zyla brings a unique skill set to the position. “He’s a big, tall fast kid with a strong arm, very athletic, he runs options and stretch plays well,” Patchell said. “We’ll put a package in that matches his skill set and we’ll be prepared to use him.” As for Wenman, Patchell said the Cold Lake, AB product is eager to learn. “He’s a smart kid with a nice arm. Nick has recognized he’s here to develop and learn. He’s going to be an important part of our group and a key guy down the road.” From Cam Bedore’s perspective, it all adds up to some healthy competition and in turn, positive residuals on the field. “All the guys are young and talented and I think they’re all going be huge assets,” said Bedore. “I’m just treating each day like another work day, I just

ask.” With Bedore sidelined by injury late last season, Joseph stepped in and started three games for the Sun, winning all of them. A year older and wiser, Joseph feels better prepared for his second
go-round but knows competition will be stiff and playing time will have to be earned. “Competition makes us all better, we’re all good friends, close knit guys, we like each other so we welcome it,” said Joseph, who completed 50 of 84
passes last season. “The game has started to slow down for me a bit (from last year), practising against our defense every day, you can’t help but improve. Cam has helped me out a lot, too. “But whatever happens, whoever plays,
the rest of us are going to W be cheering him on.” w The 6-foot-3 1/2 Zyla, who spent the off-season rehabbing his knee in a Kelowna, is excited to t be in the mix and hopes l to make the most of the opportunity. K “I’m just happy to be C able to come back and c play this year and be p getting an opportunity t from (Shane) to show b what I can do,” said Zyla, f 19. “It is a competition… P we all look to Cam, he’s a fifth-year guy, Josiah is s a tall, smart quarterback, t and Nick is a good young l player, too. t “Whoever the coaches 9 choose, it’s what’s best for the team that matters t most.” t Wenman, who c underwent surgery last p July to repair a torn ACL, is content with his place e on the depth chart and t is just happy to be back M playing football again— l particularly on a team 2 with as much talent as c the Sun. I “I know I’m the fourth w guy and I’m good with i that,” said Wenman. “I’m on a learning curve right I now, my goal is to pick t up the playbook as fast as s I can and just get better everyday. To be with three other good quarterbacks and good guys like they are is a nice opportunity for me.” The Sun open the 2015 BCFC regular season on Saturday, July 25 at the Apple Bowl against the Westshore Rebels.

Gold for Dean at Pan Ams Joined by Matthew Buie of Duntroon, Ont., Julien Bahain of Sherbrooke, Que., and Rob Gibson of Kingston, Ont., Dean and the Canadian boat led from start to finish, winning in a time of five minutes 42.22 seconds. It was Dean’s first international medal on Canadian soil and came in front of family, friends and a throng of
supportive fans. “There were a lot of emotions and just so much relief when we crossed the finish line,” Dean told the Kelowna Capital News shortly after the race. “I really feel tons of gratitude, having the chance to race in front of Canadians like we did. I can’t say how neat it was, you think a lot about it, but until you do it, you don’t know just how
special it is. “My family was there, there were tons of people in the crowd,” Dean added. “It was so cool.” Cuba won silver in 5:44.39, while Argentina won bronze in 5:47.14. Dean will pursue his second medal of the games today when he rows for Canada in the final of the men’s eight.

Okanagan Club duo wins Mlikotic takes Ogopogo provincial tourney OGOPOGO INVITATIONAL
Warren Henderson John Mlikotic once again found the home track very much to his liking. The 22-year-old Kelowna Golf and Country Club member carded a final four-under par 68 Saturday to win the Ogopogo Invitational by two strokes over fellow club member Matt Palahniuk. Mlikotic, who was a shot off the lead after two rounds, birdied the last two holes to finish the three-day tourney at 9-under 207. It was Mlikotic’s fifth tournament win over the years at his home course, but his first at the prestigious Ogopogo. “It’s the best I’ve ever played in this tournament,” said Mlikotic who was seventh last year and fourth in 2013. “It’s my home course and a tournament I’ve always wanted to win, so it was nice to get it this year. “I had full belief that I could play well here, I trusted that I could hit the shots and I had great help

from my caddy (Trevor Garafano),” he added. Palahniuk came in second at 209, Kevin Vigna of Vancouver was third at 210, while Cody Roth from Bellingham was another shot back in fourth at 211. KGCC’s Lionel Taylor was sixth at 214, while the Harvest’s Keith Martin tied for seventh at 214. Vigna, Darryl Low of Black Mountain and Chilliwack’s Kerry Grittner tied for low gross at 210. Meanwhile, Mlikotic is coming off his fourth and final season of NCAA Div. 2 golf with the Simon Fraser Clan. He had three topthree finishes on the university circuit this past season and helped pace the Clan to a fifth-place showing at the national championship this spring. Mlikotic is hoping his success at Ogopogo will carry over this week at Fairview Mountain Golf Club in Oliver where the B.C. men’s amateur golf championship kicked off on Tuesday. After another year of school at SFU, Mlikotic has plans to turn pro next summer.
The Okanagan Golf Club team of head pro Rick Crowson and assistant professional Clay Stothers shot a twoday total of 18-under 126 to claim the 2015 G&G Golf and Callaway PGA of BC Pro-Assistant Championship. Played over the course of two rounds July 7 at Tower Ranch Golf & Country Club, best ball was the format for the first, followed by scramble format for round 2. The winning pair shot two bogey-free rounds, including a string of six straight birdies on the front nine. “We went out there with no expectations,” said Crowson, the new head professional at Okanagan. “We had both been playing well coming into the tournament so we thought hey, we’re local guys. Let’s give it a try. “The Black Mountain team (Russ Latimer and Tyrel Griffith) were really great guys to play with, so the whole atmosphere
was very calm and we never really had any nerves.” The defending champs, Latimer and Griffith, finished in shared third alongside Rob Anderson and Jamie Stevens of Kelowna Golf & Country Club and Golden Golf Club’s Graeme Kreiner and Brent Firminger. Claiming second place and a cheque for $1,500 was Victoria Golf Club’s Lindsay Bernakevitch and Connor Taiji, who finished just one stroke behind the champion team after a sizzling 12-under par 60 in round 2. For their first place finish, The Okanagan team cashed the $2,250 grand prize.
B.C. JUNIOR GOLF…
The Kelowna Golf and Country Club’s Tiegan Taylor was the top local finisher at the 2105 B.C. Junior Girls Golf Championship at Cordova Bay. Taylor carded a fourround score of 319 (8376-80-80) to finish in
19th place out of 30 players who made the cut at the provincial tournament, July 7 to 10 in Victoria. KGCC club mate Emma Sabbagh was 24th with a 26 total, while Rhiannon Jones of Shannon Lake was 28th with a 330 total. Surrey’s Michelle Kim won the title with a 4-under par 288 score, 11 shots ahead of the runner-up. Meanwhile, at the B.C. Junior Boys Championship in Osoyoos, the Harvest Club’s Ryan Buchanan tied for 53rd with a 14over score of 302 (76-7074-82). The Harvest Club’s Brody Anjo and Marcus Apchin of the Kelowna Golf and Country Club both made the cut and finished 71st and 72nd respectively. The B.C. junior champ was Dewdney’s Jake Scarrow who finished at 13-under par.
COLLEGE ATHLETICS
Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
A decorated multisport athlete in high school, Michael Gini is ready to take his game and education to the next level. The 18-year-old Immaculata grad will attend Red Deer College this fall where he’ll enrol in the business program, while playing for the Kings’ men’s basketball team. “It’s a good business school and they have a great basketball program, so I think it will be a good fit for me,” said Gini, a 5-foot-9 point guard. Gini, who is also a skilled athlete on the baseball diamond and on the soccer pitch, led the Mustangs to a berth in last season’s B.C. A boys basketball final. He was named the Mustangs’ season MVP and was also recognized as Immaculata’s senior male athlete of the year. On top of his athletic
exploits, Gini is also skilled in the classroom possessing a 3.85 GPA. Gini had a number of post-secondary offers in both baseball and basketball, but felt pursuing the college route on the hardwood was the best option. A well regarded basketball program across Canada, the Kings have been to the national collegiate championship in three of the last four years. “At a CIS school, I would have probably had to redshirt, but (in Red Deer) I’m going to get a chance to get some playing time, and that’s what I wanted,” said Gini. “It’s also one of the best programs in Canada, so that’s a big bonus, too.” Kings’ head coach Clayton Pottinger had a good look at Gini last month when he played for Red Deer in spring tournament and liked a lot of what he saw from the Kelowna guard. “He has a complete

knows it’s going to be competitive and like all the guys, he’s going to have to work for his time. But I expect he’ll be up to the challenge.” Gini expects to head to Red Deer in mid-August. @capnewsports.ca

sports ____________________________________________________________________ UBCO BASKETBALL
UBC Okanagan Heat basketball teams will get their second run in the revamped Canada West league structure for the upcoming 201516 season, once again loaded and hungry for their first postseason appearances. This will be the fifth year of CIS competition for the Heat and the second and final season with the separate Pioneer and Explorer divisions in Canada West, with UBCO a member of the latter. The men and women, donned in blue and gold, no longer new to the landscape of the league, are eager to post a winning record and make a name in the postseason. The slate in the Explorer’s division is unchanged this season, with the Fraser Valley Cascades, Thompson
Rivers WolfPack, and UNBC Timberwolves joining UBC Okanagan to represent British Columbia, while the Mount Royal Cougars in Calgary and the MacEwan Griffins in Edmonton continue to hold up the front for Alberta. There is no interdivisional play between divisions, and each Explorer contender will compete against each other four times. Once again, the top three from the Explorer’s division will advance to the Canada West playoffs in a cross-matchup format with the qualifiers from the Pioneer division. The Heat start the season off on the road
against Explorer Division powerhouse Fraser Valley Nov. 6 and 7, who the blue and gold could not crack last year. The men’s team roared to a 17-3 finish atop the division, while the women’s squad went 12-8, good for the third seed. A couple of wins opening weekend against the Cascades would get UBC Okanagan off to a momentous start. UBC Okanagan returns to Kelowna to kick off the home series against UNBC Nov. 13 and 14. A growing rivalry from season to season as both teams are old foes from their CCAA and PACWEST days, expect mid-November to still be hot with action.
GIRLS BASKETBALL
Strong finish for U16 Junior Heat in Kamloops The UBCO Junior Heat U16 girls basketball team wrapped up its club season by posing a perfect 4-0 record at the TRU Summer Shootout in Kamloops. Down to just eight players, the team put together a solid weekend of basketball July 4 and 5, focused on fundamentals, decision-making and intensity. Here’s a look at the scores: • 72-39 win vs U16 Triple Threats – Player of the game, Kate Johnson • 55-45 win vs U17 Cascades – Player of game, Brianna Falk • 43-40 win vs 3D Premier U15 – Player of game, Hannah Walline • 41-33 win vs 3D Elite U17 – Player of game, Mariah Perry
“All season long we have been working on skill development, competing and character,” said coach Kim Whelpton. “In past tournaments when things weren’t going our way the girls would shut down and continue in a downward spiral. This weekend we saw a huge change in their character and will to win. “Even when we weren’t having our best performance, they found a way to beat the odds and finish out close games,” she added. “As coaches we are very proud of them and look forward to watching them lead their respective teams in the upcoming high school season.”
UBC Okanagan will dazzle their home fans for the last time in the regular season Feb. 12 and 13 when they host MacEwan to conclude their series. The grand conclusion of the 2015-16 slate will see the Heat will close out their regular season in Kamloops with the WolfPack February 19-20. These dates might be the most important to circle, as both TRU squads made it into the postseason last year, but this time around a recharged and reloaded Heat team might be battling out a tight race for the final spots, with everything coming down to this final weekend. The top three from the Explorers and the top seven from the Pioneers will move on to the postseason. @capnewsports.ca

The 4th annual World Paddle for the Planet Day is July 25. Once a year, paddlers of any type of water craft are invited to “pick a change they want to see in the world, paddle for it on WPFTPDay, then commit to it until it becomes realty.” This year, they are asking paddlers to paddle at noon in their own time zones in order to send a wave of change around the Planet. Kelowna founder Bob Purdy’s paddle will be held on the Shuswap River from Ashton Creek to Enderby—about a three-hour paddle. Anyone is invited to join him. The opening ceremony is at 10:30 a.m. hosted jointly by the Splatsin First Nation and the WPFTPDay. This year’s recipient of fundraising, the Shuswap River Ambassadors, will accompany the leader down the river at noon. More great news: The Paddler Movie, which features Bob Purdy, just won the Spirit Award at the Toronto Beach Film Festival. Birthdays of the week: Happy 70th Lillian Moller (July 16); Magda Kapp, BrainTrust Canada (July 15); Christine Greer ( July 15); Mario Pare (July 17); Susan Emms (July 16); Ben Lee (July 17); Linda Yandel (July 17); Bill Jack, Club Wine Tours (July 17); Dave McLean (July 18); Pastor Don Richmond (July 18); Ken Green (July 18); Cheryl Stecko (July 19); Phil Parker (July 19); Al Waters, Kelowna Capital News (July 20); Dave Libbretch (July 20).
