news _____________________________________________________________________ SUNNY DAYS

Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Heat lovers had best soak up as much sun as they can in the next couple of days, because temperatures are expected to take a dive by the week’s end. Lisa Coldwells, a meteorologist with Environment Canada, said the heat is forecast to peak at 35 C on Wednesday and Thursday, narrowly missing a record high of 36 C. “We will have really hot, but livable summer days Wednesday and Thursday, then on Friday there’s a distinct cold front that will set itself up,” she said, noting the temperature is expected to drop by 10 C, for a few days. While neighbouring regions will likely get a good dose of rain to go along with the relative chill, the Okanagan Valley will have a 60 per cent chance of showers. “It will be on and off rain,” Coldwells said, pointing out that five millimetres at the lakeshore may be it. “It will get the pavement wet, people’s gardens will be happy.” It’s a big change of

pace from recent weeks. When all the daytime highs and overnight lows are tallied up and averaged out, this July was the second warmest on the books, with an average temperature of 23.1. It’s the warmest when all the overnight temperatures alone are added up and averaged out, she said. The average nighttime low for July was 14.9 C, breaking the previous year’s record of 14.7 C. August, however, is usually when the cracks in summer appear, and this year looks no different. “As this front goes through we will return to a low amplitude ridge, which will give mainly sunny skies and temperatures which are normal,” Coldwells said, noting the average for August is 27 C. While vacationers may lament the end of the heat, the valley’s fruit growers are likely to greet the change with open arms. This year’s cherry harvest is nearly complete, weeks before schedule and now apple growers are watching their fruits carefully to see what’s next. Already, apple growers

in Oliver and Osoyoos are picking their Sunrise variety, which usually stays on the tree until mid August, said Fred Steele, president of the BCFGA. Locally, apples aren’t quite as advanced, however, said Steele, they’re still bound to come off the trees roughly three weeks ahead of schedule. The question that lingers is whether those fruits will be big enough to yield profits when they go to market. Steele explained that when temperatures hit the high 30s, trees tend to protect themselves by putting a halt to fruit growth. “They shut down,” he said. “But then, once temperatures go down, you get the sizing back again.” All the bulking up apples do are in the last 10 days of their time on the tree, he added. “Overall, this weather has been a mixed blessing,” he said. “If you look south to the Yakima Valley where some of their small rivers and streams have dried up completely, they have a real size problem. Here, we don’t know what will happen yet.”

Federal ridings boundaries Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Politics makes strange bedfellows. Or as the case may be locally, commissions reconfiguring electoral boundaries, makes for strange politics. With the under standing that many current and potential constituents don’t know who they should be voting for come Oct. 19, the candidates in the new riding Central Okanagan—Similkameen‚ Nicola are joining forces

for an introductory session. “During our canvassing and interactions with people we have heard that there is still some confusion about the changes in the federal riding boundaries,” says a news release jointly sent out by Conservative incumbent MP Dan Albas and Green Party candidate Robert Mellalieu. “We would like to invite you to come to meet us at the southeast corner of the boundary of Central Okanagan‚

Similkameen‚ Nicola. We feel that if people can visualize the location edge, they will better understand which riding they are in.” Boundary changes meant Penticton was moved into the new South Okanagan— West Kootenay riding, while Summerland, West Kelowna and an estimated 20,000 residents of Kelowna were transferred into a new riding called Central Okanagan—SimilkameenSEE RIDINGS A7

Feeling the heat

Jeremy Roles was the first out of the water for the seven-kilometre Rattle Snake Island Swim in Peachland in a time of 1:47:47.

OKANAGAN LAKE

Rattle Snake Island Swim draws a crowd Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Axana Merckx was far more placid than the choppy waters she emerged from before anyone else in the 3.1-kilometre portion of Peachland’s Rattle Snake Island swim on the weekend. “Open water is my favourite,” said the 14-year-old, Saturday morning, moments after she finished the event in a time of 47 minutes and 47 seconds. It was a time that broke her personal best time of 50 minutes set at last year’s event. Merckx usually swims for Kelowna’s Aqua Jets, but she has an aptitude for open water swimming that she hopes to apply elsewhere in the future.

“(The sport) is just starting to get bigger,” she said, adding “where that goes, I want to go.” Former competitive swimmer and triathlete Jeremy Roles explained the Rattle Snake Island swim was less about honing his chops as a racer, and more about competing in an environment close to his friends and family. That said, he still took first place in the sevenkilometre track, emerging from the water before anyone else. “I thought it may be possible,” he said, of how he gauged his chances before he got into the water. That said, there are a lot of factors that get in the way of a good swim in open water events, the most important of which

being Mother Nature. This year the water for the annual Peachland event was hot and choppy, although not unmanageable. Then there’s the tangle of legs and arms that swimmers have to emerge from to find their place in the pack. Roles said his strategy helped through it all. ‘I went a little easier in the first half, then I pushed it a little harder on the way back,” he said, noting he had a swim partner for some of the race who he inevitably left behind. The toughest part, he pointed out, was not getting lost in the giant body of water that is Okanagan Lake. While swimmers may feel the pitfalls of being a small fish in a giant

lake, organizers had their backs. This year was the first time that Kelowna’s Across the Lake Society took over the event, which raises funds to teach Grade 3 students in the Central Okanagan how to swim, through a YMCA program. With its involvement, enrolment was bolstered, explained race director Valentia Miller. “We have 160 participants registered, and 140 came out (Saturday),” she said. No event time records were broken on Saturday. The society can only go back to 2010 for records, as the District of Peachland, which ran the event previously, didn’t keep anything before that. @KelownaNewsKat

PEACHLAND CRIME

Possible abduction of girl thwarted Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

The RCMP are looking for information to identify two men who appear to have attempted to attack or possibly abduct a 15-year-old girl in Peachland Saturday night. According to police, on Aug. 8 at 7:46 p.m., the West Kelowna RCMP responded to what was believed to have been an attempted abduction in the tunnel between Beach Avenue and Princeton Avenue in Peachland. Two unidentified men

had approached the teen, one man grabbed her wrists and the other man started to push her into the tunnel. When an unidentified woman suddenly entered the tunnel and interrupted the incident, the two men let go of the girl and fled on foot out of the tunnel toward a car parked on Beach Avenue. The teen and the woman exited the Princeton Avenue end of the tunnel, where they saw the men get into a a black sedan and drive away quickly, southbound

on Highway 97. One of the men is described as white, 30-40 years old, approximately 5’11 (180 cm), has a skinny build and was wearing a black hoodie with a zipper and white drawstrings, light blue jeans and black skater shoes. The other man is described as white, 30-40 years old, wearing a red or burgundy hoodie with the hood up. The vehicle they drove off in is described as a black sedan with Alberta licence plates.

The teen was shaken but uninjured in the incident, said Cpl. Joe Duncan of the Kelowna RCMP. Anyone with information regarding the identity of the men, or who may have witnessed the incident, is asked to call the West Kelowna RCMP at 250-7682880. Callers can remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477, going online at www.crimestoppers. net or texting to CRIMES (274637) ktown.

CPR was performed on the man until an air ambulance transported him to hospital. RCMP officers responded via boat and by land. The ambulance paramedics and the firefighters attended and lifesaving procedures were performed, said Cpl. Joe Duncan of the Kelowna RCMP. The man was then transported to Kelowna General Hospital by air ambulance. On Monday, Duncan said he believed the man was still in intensive care at KGH. Duncan said anyone diving in the lake should either be experienced or go with someone who is. He said he did not know the injured man’s experience level as a free diver.

Telling your story most accurately —the Capital News

Those who wanted to show Kelowna a little love headed to Bernard Avenue for the 26th Annual Downtown Kelowna Block Party Saturday. There they found people literally doing backflips and singing songs in celebration. Bernard Avenue was teeming with children and adults alike, participating in some community bonding and enjoying a wide slate of events and performances. Whether it was for the dog agility show, a gymnastic performance or multiple music performances that encouraged some brave souls to break out in dance, there was no shortage of cheer during the early hours of the event, with more set to come. Lisa and James Kitella brought their four kids between the ages of three months and five years to the event, and all were having a good time.

“It’s a good mix of adult and child-based fun,” said Lisa, noting the family lives in Kelowna’s downtown, which has improved greatly in recent years. “There’s more room, less traffic.” James pointed out the improvements to city infrastructure made the whole space feel safer, even when it’s not teeming with tourists and locals alike. Business owners were equally pleased with the event, and singing the praises of the city’s downtown strip. Jeff McGregor opened his shop, Alchemy, on Bernard Avenue four weeks ago. The block party, he said, was a great way to introduce the community to his business, which features a combination of locally made products and decor from across the globe. “I love it,” he said. “It’s a great way for people to see how awesome downtown Kelowna has become.” The block party, presented by Interior Savings, ran most of the day. The road, from Richter Street to The Sails was filled with vendors,

Back Pain Effectively Treated At Kelowna Clinic One third of the population suffers from chronic back pain, which impacts everything from quality of life to relationships and careers. Why is chronic pain so difficult to treat? First, each painful episode creates inflammation and scar tissue. Scar tissue has only 70% the strength of normal tissue, making it prone to re-injury. Scar tissue is not flexible, so with every movement comes more inflammation and scar tissue, leading to recurrences of back pain. Second, scar tissue alters the functioning of surrounding joints, reducing the nutrition getting to the joints (a major contributor to disc degeneration and joint arthritis).

to live with it. I want you to know that there is hope, that there is a highly successful, evidence-based treatment for many types of chronic pain. It is being used increasingly by orthopedic surgeons to stabilize their patients’ conditions and create longer lasting results and it has been used as an adjunct in my office for the past five years with success rates of up to 91%. This treatment is called Shockwave therapy (or ESWT) and while it was initially developed to break up kidney stones, it has been used for the past 20 years to effectively break up scar tissue, restore the function of the muscle and promote new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. It is effective on many conditions including (but not limited to) back, foot, and arm pain. Results are often experienced within a few visits; treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

DR. RYAN HARRIS Glenmore Chiropractic

In my practice, I see back, neck, and shoulder pain, lower back and sciatic pain, and post-surgical pain. It’s been there for months to years and many therapies have failed to relieve it because most therapies work best on recent injuries.

Activities also took place at Kerry Park at the foot of Bernard Avenue.

More road work on Lakeshore Work continues on a stretch of Lakeshore Road in Kelowna’s Mission area. Since Monday, a partial excavation of the road base between Dehart and McClure roads has been underway and the work requires occasional lane closures between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., this week. An increase in the equipment present in travel lanes and an uneven road surface may increase delays to motorists, says the city. Motorists are asked to obey all signs and traffic safety personnel present in the project area. Pedestrians and cyclists are encouraged to use other routes. A cycling detour route has been posted. The work is part of a bigger project that is improving Lakeshore Road, one of the city’s main north/south traffic arteries.

news _____________________________________________________________________ PRIDE WEEK

Business challenges others to show colours It’s not just a downtown crosswalk that is sporting rainbow colours during this, Pride Week, in Kelowna. Several store windows and storefronts are following suit. But according to one business, while larger centres like Vancouver were awash in rainbow flags during its recent Pride Week, Kelowna homes and businesses are just now starting to visibly show their support for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered and Queer communities. A local pet food store, Pounce & Hound Fine Pet Goods in Pandosy Village, has decorated its store windows with a rainbow display in anticipation of Kelowna’s Pride Week. “Business can be a powerful force in social change,” said shop owner Arnica Rowan. “Supporting our local LGBTQ community is important to us because we have friends, family and clients who are a part of this community. We are allies because we value what the rainbow flag represents: Appreciation and celebration of all kinds of people and all kinds of families.”

City status prompts West Kelowna Internet changes Now that it’s a city, West Kelowna has changed its website name, email address and other social media handles used during the years it was a district municipality. West Kelowna’s new website address is www. westkelownacity.ca and its new email domain is @ westkelownacity.ca. And the city’s general email address is now info@westkelownacity.ca. West Kelowna has also updated its social media accounts.

report. “Mechanical and electrical systems are at the end of their service life…(and the) building envelope is in poor condition. The pool membrane and exterior cladding are also significant issues and there are hazardous materials present. While razing the old facility would come with a hefty price tag, Barton’s report pins high hopes on what a new building could do for the city. “The new PRC will become Kelowna’s premier full service community centre. “It will stridently focus on the recreational and leisure needs of the family and the instructional and participatory needs of sport enthusiasts,

Rowan and her husband, a veterinarian with an adjoining clinic, are challenging other local businesses to fly rainbow flags and dress store windows for Pride Week. “Our mayor, Colin Basran, has shown leadership by volunteering as the Grand Marshall of this year’s Pride parade,” said Rowan. “I have no doubt that the business community will also step up to the plate in coming years to show our inclusivity.” Rowan’s said her store will be on-site at the Saturday Festival at the Beach with other LGBTQfriendly businesses.

As this decade comes to an end, one of the most well used buildings in Kelowna could get a brand new look. Parkinson Recreation Centre was built in 1972, and will likely be completely decrepit before it turns 50, meaning it may need a redo by 2020. Kelowna’s parks and building manager Terry Barton reported to city council Monday thay the tired and dated facility needs to become a priority. “Adhoc additions were built under different building codes, standards and construction methods,” reads the

8th Annual

while providing a host of programs and activities that will meet the needs of the broader community.” Barton recommended that council attend a follow up workshop to fully explore the feasibility analysis of the Parkinson Recreation Centre facility development options. More work and reports

a goal of raising $50,000 to be used to help prevent brain injuries and raise awareness. Magda Kapp, director of communications for BrainTrust Canada, said the results from the firsttime event exceeded organizers’ expectations. “We were just so pleased with how the community rallied around this event, both in terms of corporate sponsorship and participation,” she said. “We had 155 (participants) registered, but we had a few people stop in, so we probably had in excess of 160 paddlers.” Kapp noted corporate sponsorship was key in raising more than $40,000 for the cause as groups, such as the Capital News teams, which raised $2,500, helped bring in a larger total than BrainTrust Canada would have likely raised on its own. The Capital News participants were raising money for one of their co-workers who suffered a brain injury in the weeks before the race, as well as in support of sponsor Auction World, a local company whose owner’s son has also suffered from the effects of a brain injury.

money but also getting introduced to the relatively new sport of paddle boarding. Kapp said the fundraiser was designed to be family-friendly with multiple tents and displays set up and even a barbecue for participants and everyone else. And, of course, there was the paddle boarding. “You could compete either as an individual or as a team of four,” Kapp described. “They did relays, so basically they went around a buoy and back to the shore, where another person would take over unless they were competing as an individual. So it was a race, but it was a fun race. And it was 30 C, so people didn’t mind getting wet.” The fundraiser’s website, paddlefor prevention.com, will remain open until the end of the month for additional donations. With the success seen by the Pihl Law Paddle for Prevention in its inaugural year, Kapp believes there is a very strong chance it will return again next year. As far as the Capital News Cruisers go, they made it to the quarterfinal race before falling in the tough corporate division, although the Cruisers were the top finishing media team.

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

Opinion

B.C.’s VIEW ON OTTAWA

Sorting out election issues VICTORIA—The first, and Victoria News perhaps the only complete English-language debate in this TOM long federal election campaign has helped define the issues, and FLETCHER the non-issues. I’m not going to try to tell you who “won” or “came out swinging,” because this is not a sporting event. If you’re paying attention in August, bless you, and you probably have a favourite already. First, let’s deal with Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s diabolical scheme to extend the length of the formal election period. This, according to national pundits, is an extension of his evil plot to attract more financial supporters than the other parties, and spend the money. In other words, it’s a non-issue and any opponent who dwells on it looks like a whiner. This is the first election in modern Canadian history to follow a four-year schedule. National pundits spent months telling us Harper was going to use a loophole in his own election law to call a spring vote before the economy tanked. Didn’t happen, and now the Conservatives are rightly under scrutiny about their economic management. Incumbent manipulation of election timing is over, and that’s good. Scheduled elections by their nature create longer campaigns, as demonstrated in B.C. and the United States. So they should be conducted under formal campaign rules, which limit the noise of public sector unions and other special interests. Another non-issue is the non-existent deficit and recession that supposedly grips Canada. On actual results, there is a slim surplus, and if—a big if—Saudi Arabia continues to depress world oil prices, there may be a modest deficit by next spring. SEE FLETCHER A11

Kelowna still has a colourful red neck It seems Kelowna has a new target for City the haters. Confidential Response to the city’s decision to ALISTAIR paint a rainbowWATERS coloured crosswalk at Lawrence Avenue and Pandosy Street downtown just before the kick-off to this year’s Pride Week festivities has generated plenty of support—but, unfortunately, it would appear, even more criticism. Judging by comments being bantered around, and local unscientific poll results, it seems those who do not like the crosswalk, don’t like it because it has a connection to the local Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transexual (LGBT) community. Some question the cost, others say it’s preferential treatment and, most bizarre of all, some go so far as to claim the presence of a crosswalk with colour pushes the gay lifestyle down the throats of the non-gay population. Yea, right, the same way the presence of a nativity scene at the foot of Bernard Avenue each Christmas pushes Christianity down the throats of non-Christians living here, the presence of a large Menorah in Stuart Park at Hanukkah pushes Judaism down the throats of non-Jews and other celebrations by ethnic and social groups in the city during the year push their beliefs down the throats of others. Balderdash. Get real. The crosswalk, is, at its core, exactly that—a colourful crosswalk. Unlike rainbow crosswalks in other cities, Kelowna’s does not copy the rainbow flag used by the LGBT community. It is simply blocks of colour on

l c t the road instead of black and white lines. It’s not the multicolour collection of thin horizontal stripes found on r r the flag. t But that doesn’t matter. Just like the aforementioned nativity scene, Menorah ( and other celebrations, the crosswalk does point to the e community Kelowna would like to become—one that is T welcoming of all, no matter their race, religion, political l persuasion or sexual preference. I thought we were l already there, but now I’m wondering. p Years ago, as the city hall reporter for this paper, I covered the initial attempts to get a gay pride parade (as H s it was known then) started in Kelowna, and watched the venom being spat by intolerant bigots at the time i w as they opposed it. To hear them talk then, Kelowna t would go to hell in a hand-basket if such “depravity” was allowed. One went so far as to claim there would be r b men fornicating in the street. Well guess what? The parade went ahead and all Hell t a did not break loose. In the years since the local Pride festival has grown, p i many in the community have embraced it, and it has helped show a more tolerant face of Kelowna to the outside world. d And now this. r For those who question why Pride celebrations are o needed in a day and age where same sex marriage is legal, equal rights are extended to all regardless of sexual f a preference and further strides are being made to be a more inclusive, this is the reason. When colour on a crosswalk brings out the haters, youa p know there’s still a need to raise awareness.

Party leader should not assume support

NOW

To the editor: This election really brings home to me the fact that we have no way of expressing if we support the leadership of the party we vote for. Once a voter has selected the candidate they wish to become their local MP, there should be another question on the ballot paper. Obviously a carefully crafted question

is necessary to make sure that people understand what they are being asked. A simple “Do you support the current leader of the party you have just voted for?” might work. The result of this would be that all voters can make their feelings known, thus giving political parties the opportunity to replace leaders if the majority of public opinion so

Big ugly bin wrecks view To the editor: I’m writing about the big blue garbage bin in Mission Creek Park that was dug right in front of the statue to the Lion Club who initiated the park in the beginning. I see that every time I look out of my

window and cannot think why anyone would dig a hole and put this ugly garbage bin there. There is lots of space elsewhere. Ann Huculak, Kelowna

Gov’t prefers massive debt To the editor: On March 26th, 2015, a Statement of Claim was filed in the Federal Court against Her Majesty The Queen, The Minister of Finance, The Minister of National Revenue, The Bank of Canada, and The Attorney General of Canada (the defendants). This Claim is probably the most significant case to come before a Canadian Court in many decades. But why so significant? Under the Bank of Canada Act (came into law in 1935), which created Canada’s public central bank, the Minister of Finance, and the Government of Canada are required to request, and the Bank of Canada is statutorily required to make, interest free loans to the three levels of government, under section 18 (i) and (j) for the purposes of human capital expenditures and infrastructure expenditures. That is correct, interest free loans! Between 1935 and 1974, the various levels of government received interest free loans from the Bank of Canada to fund great projects like the building of the Trans-Canada Highway, the St. Lawrence Seaway, hospitals, schools, water and sewer projects, and other infrastructure, and World War II, all loans which could not exceed one-third (federal) to one fourth (provincial) of their estimated revenue for its fiscal year, and had to be paid back before the end of the first quarter of the following fiscal year. Canada’s growth as a nation was phenomenal during this time period, and it was done with virtually no inflation and no lingering debt. So what happened in 1974? In 1974, the government of the day discontinued this borrowing practice for some reason by secretly signing on as a member of the Bank of International Settlements, a foreign consortium of private central banks and private foreign bankers. As crazy as this action sounds, the governments of Canada and the provinces had to discontinue the practice of borrowing interest free money from our own public central bank and were forced, at all levels of government, to borrow money, at interest, for all of our human capital and infrastructure needs, from these private foreign bankers. The result being that between 1974 and 2014, the government(s) of Canada alone paid approximately $1.1 trillion in compounded interest on an accumulating national debt currently standing at about $670 billion, all of which compounded interest and principal debt has been accumulating contrary to statute and constitutional requirements, and which debt and compounded interest continues to accrue and is paid to private domestic banks,

and moreover, foreign private bankers. The claim before the Federal Court states that the defendants have abdicated their Constitutional and legislated duties to govern insofar as internal monetary, currency and financial policy are concerned, and in turn, have abdicated those duties in unlawfully handing over that authority to those international, private entities( the Bank of International Settlements, private foreign banks and private foreign bankers), whose interests and directives have been placed above the interests of Canadians and Canada, and the Constitution of Canada. (Some would call such an action treason.) Now, I am sure that most are aware of our “national debt” and the billions in interest Canadians pay each year, but most are not aware that these billions are unnecessarily paid to these very same private foreign banks and bankers every year. The interest expense in the budget is the largest single expense the Federal government has, even more than the military budget or even the federal health transfer payments made to the provinces. So what does the government have to say about the claim in the Federal Court? Well, our government is petitioning the court to strike the claim as vexatious and groundless, and that would cause inflation (proven not to be true as per the time period between 1935 and 1974). Hard to believe our current government would continue to turn away from its mandated, legislative and constitutional duties and continue to force Canadians to pay these billions in unnecessary interest every year, thus suffocating our economy and job creation and confiscating the wealth of Canadians through their fraud. So this brings us to the current election and why exposing this failure of governments of the past to exercise their mandated legislative obligations under the Bank of Canada Act and our Constitution. Why doesn’t one party (preferably all of them) bring this issue to the public and commit to righting a great wrong? One would think that such an issue would be the opportunity they seek to gain an edge on the opposition. One can only hope that some one will take the lead. For those who are interested in reading the Statement of Claim in full and in great detail for themselves, or watch interviews on this issue with Mr Galati (lawyer for the plaintiffs) and the Comer Group, please go to www. comer.org and follow the links. Let us hope there are miracles in politics. Grant Baudais, Kelowna

of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen

The Bank of Canada’s recent move to devalue the dollar has already produced a rebound in exports and tourism, which any government would appreciate. Of particular interest to B.C. voters is NDP leader Thomas Mulcair vs. Green Party leader Elizabeth May. May used what may be her only national debate appearance to press Mulcair to oppose the TransMountain pipeline expansion project. Mindful of Adrian Dix’s disastrous 2013 decision to do the same in B.C., Mulcair insisted he would wait for the federal review, even though he considers it to be inadequate. This is, of course, all theatre. Based on their actions, the NDP, Green Party and Liberals are all opposed not just to oil pipelines but export gas pipelines as well. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau wants to cancel capital cost allowances for liquefied natural gas investment that have been granted by B.C. and Ottawa, which could be a deal-breaker for LNG. B.C. NDP leader John Horgan formalized his opposition to the TransMountain expansion earlier this month, in a letter to the National Energy Board. But we’re expected to believe that Mulcair has a different position, for now. Harper was forced to admit that his long effort to persuade U.S. President Barack Obama to approve the Keystone XL pipeline has failed, and the project will have to wait until Obama leaves office next year. The debate also confirmed positions on Canada’s modest role in bombing Islamic State terrorist positions in Iraq and Syria. The Conservatives are for it, and the Liberals, NDP and Greens are against it. Trudeau pushed Mulcair on his cynical bid to court the Quebec separatist voters. Like petroleum prices, it’s beyond our control. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

However I have to say in this hectic world we live in, where everything is in fast motion and the new gets old very quickly, gardening is still the same medicine it has been for centuries allowing us to take a step back and embrace the natural processes that have been here all along without change. The things my mother taught me while working in the garden are the same things her mother taught her and are the same things I am teaching my granddaughter Ellie. Although I must say I appreciate being able to record it all on my smart phone and send it to my sister in real time. Oh well! Don Burnett is a garden expert in Kelowna.

Seniors SENIORS ISSUES

Taking the heroic journey to elderhood As we age into elderhood, we are met with new challenges and opportunities. Rather than being a time of decline, it is really a time of blossoming fully into who we really

are capable of being. Personas can finally be laid aside if we so choose and transformation into the “heroic journey” is possible in a unique and life altering way. The writing of Joseph

Campbell in his book, The Hero With a Thousand Faces, describes the concept of the hero’s journey as the path of courageous personal change. Campbell identifies three elements that make up this concept: • The hero is first challenged by a call to adventure, an adventure which will require some form of separation, loss or change. • In choosing to respond to this call, the hero is faced with obstacles and ordeals on the path of initiation into something new. •Finally, the hero is transformed, the “something new” is integrated, and the journey ends at a place of victory or new life. Age does hold the gift of possibility to experience living in the expression of our deeper wisdom, that’s the good news. But, this does involve a strengthening of the understanding of commitment. Goethe’s couplet offers the simplicity of what must be done as the inevitable chaos begins to present as the heroic journey unfolds. I come back to it over and over, as the winds of change have made me want to run for the hills. “Until one is

Seniors Concerns MARJORIE HORNE committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.” As we grow older, we can become bolder in dealing with the inner fear that can stop us in our tracks as obstacles arise. The stages of growth tend to develop in an opening spiral, a circular order that returns to each

phase with the experiences of the previous ones included. So, in a way, there is a return to a phase by cycling back to it; at the same time, the return is different, since the experiences have been accumulated. Growth is dependent on coming to understand and accept our own personality, with all of it individual strengths and weaknesses. It seems to be true that things always get worse before they get better. This can be interpreted as a sure sign to stop evolving and persisting and instead jump on a cruise ship to head for the high seas. It’s not that the cruise ship is such a bad idea, it is just to be clear on what your intention is for going there. The call to elderhood is a call to adventure really. It may be that dreams were given up on in younger days for any number of reasons that seemed very compelling at the time. Is it too late to revisit them as the transition into the third stage of life is taking hold? Only if we think that time cannot expand when we are truly doing what we love. It is common knowledge that an artist

immersed in the creation of a painting can go on for hours putting brush to paper and it seems like only minutes have passed. Time does expand if we choose to believe that it is possible. And so it is with aging. It is our perception of it that defines its passage. Sometimes, someone offers us a glimpse of a potentially fulfilling way to reassess the status quo. Sometimes, a situation stops us dead in the tracks of our current path. However the call is initiated, we all have the opportunity to become the hero. When we are ready for the adventure— or when we can’t stand our old ways for one more day—we take some action to change. Often some chaos and struggle ensues that requires courage to continue. While on a one day retreat a while back, in the quiet of my time in the woods, I watched a spider that made a seemingly impossible leap from the leaf of a tree onto another one some distance away. It missed and fell to the ground. It scuttled back up the branch and leapt from the leaf again. Again it fell to the ground. I watched as it did this three more times. Finally on the fifth try, it made it to the second

leaf. The light shifted and I saw that in the process of struggling, the spider was actually spinning its web. I realized that I had been observing the adversity, the tenacity, and the inevitable achievement of this tiny champion, unseen though it was in the midst of the action. The obstacles that aging can and will present pose the inevitable test of whether we give up too soon or keep taking the leap to create something new. That may be to revisit an old dream or passion that got left behind. It may be starting a whole new way of life that others may be critical of. But one thing is for certain, despite the difficulty that may present as you spin your own new web, staying with it will not leave you in regret. A great future does await us, in our inner connection and in our outer achievement, if we seek to be our truest selves and take the heroic journey.

APPEALING TO INVESTORS

Investors and entrepreneurs: A fit? I have spent many hours over my career working with entrepreneurs who have wrestled with the notion of seeking investment for their entrepreneurial dream from a variety of sources and experiencing the pain of trying to get their presentation just right with the hope of nailing the investment of their required dollars. When I look at what it takes to succeed and talk to investors about what they look for when they invest in an entrepreneurial startup, I find myself always coming to a set of fundamentals that really hasn’t changed all that significantly over the many years since my journey in the entrepreneurial world began from back in the late 1980s. Passion is critical and your excitement has to be intoxicating enough (above and beyond your business plan and your perception of an excellent venture idea) to make others believe in your dream just as much as you do. This is also the key to finding great employees, connected board members should you need them and generous funders. Want funding? The quality of the management team you have assembled will make or break you. Your top employees’ credentials show that you’re ready (or not) for whatever the economy, markets, or eventually the competition throws your way for the new venture. Your new team also needs to be flexible—able to adapt to wherever the new company’s perceived growth may take you. This is particularly key in the seed-capital phase, when investors

Entrepreneurial Spirit JOEL YOUNG bet on unproven venture concepts based on their “gut-feel” about a team —your team. Your concept needs to be different and useful. Investors generally want to fund firsts, not variations on a theme. They also want to fund winners understandably, companies that are positioned to get major market share quickly and with the potential for a good story to tell thereafter. For example, your venture idea is defensible, difficult to duplicate or compete against as is patent-ready ideas. Your insight into the market you wish to enter is paramount for the investment community. Become an industry expert, verify that no one else is in your way and explore what has kept others from the breakthrough you are anticipating. Master your competitive landscape and show to the investors how your new venture is destined to benefit from economic and market trends in front of you. But, also you will need to have some sense of what lies ahead on the horizon so that your new entrepreneurial dream isn’t about to become obsolete shortly after hitting the marketplace. Simply put, the investors you are courting want to know that you, not they, have covered all the angles. So, let’s go now into the everpopular, everpresent, business plan.

Breezy optimism is a definite turn-off to a potential investor A couple of additional points that I believe will help entrepreneurs on their investor journey include: Entrepreneurs are often guilty, in their eagerness to get started building their company, of

CAPITAL news

seeking out investors of all kinds before they are prepared to present their deal or carry on effective negotiations. Angel investors, for example, often have a great deal of business experience and can ask the kinds of probing, difficult questions that can quickly puncture inflated projections or poorly thought out strategies. Also, and this will bring a smile and knowing nod to your face, entrepreneurs invariably emphasize bringing money into the new venture. Investors are quite reasonably interested in getting capital out of the company they have invested. Hence, unless an

entrepreneur can convince an investor that a lucrative exit is possible within a reasonable timeframe, the deal is likely not to be embraced and get done by that particular investment source. Therefore, my existing and aspiring entrepreneurs of the Okanagan landscape, be the best that you can be in your research, preparation and venture planning in order to make you investor-friendly.

Sometimes they’re a little bit different, so sometimes different things work for different people.” The choice to go independent has given her control over building her own schedule and choosing her own

trainers. This has allowed her time to pursue things like post-secondary education, something she wouldn’t be able to do otherwise. While going independent has allowed her greater flexibility, it does also provide

challenges. Barzilay no longer has the status of being on a team; she now has to prove her skill level on the slopes rather than simply saying she is on Team BC. For many people, putting the onus on themselves to train and

spend time in the gym is ultimately what causes them to slowly see their habits fade away. That isn’t the case for Barzilay, however, as she holds herself to a rigorous training regimen. The skiing season starts in November, and with the BC slopes becoming hit and miss the closer it gets to summer, Barzilay has a summer routine she sticks to. Her summer schedule includes five days a week at the gym for two-hour dry training sessions, trampolining once or twice a week, and water ramping several times a week in Oliver. Water ramping is a training activity where athletes go down a wooden ramp on skis, continue into the air off a jump, perform their trick and then land in water. The hundreds of hours of training all become worthwhile when competition season rolls around. Barzilay usually competes in four or five national and international competitions every year, taking her to places such as Quebec, Colorado and Utah. When she’s competing, Barzilay has a pre-run mental and physical warm-up routine she completes prior to the competition starting. Her routine involves stretching, doing a few runs of the course, visualizing the run and picturing what needs to go right for it to be successful, and finally going to a happy and calm place in her mind when she’s ready to compete. That doesn’t mean, however, that she

doesn’t experience prerun jitters. “There’s a certain level of anxiety involved,” she described. “There’s a certain point of mental readiness that you hit, and you feel activated, but there are definitely butterflies, especially in bigger events where you’re competing with someone who’s competed in the World Cup, or in the Olympics. It’s intimidating.” A little nervousness hasn’t been nearly enough to stop Barzilay as she has already acquired quite a few highlights in her career. “I’ve medaled in Junior Nationals several times,” she recalled. “My first year going to Junior Nationals I got a bronze in big air. The second time I went I got a silver in big air, and last year I medaled in single, dual moguls, aerials and combined air and moguls.” Barzilay’s road to success hasn’t been obstacle-free, however, as she tore her ACL at Senior Nationals in Quebec when she was 16. “I under-rotated my front flip on bottom air, and tore it basically on impact,” she explained. “I had to take a 30-minute ambulance ride down a terrible bumpy road in an ambulance filled with paramedics that didn’t speak English. I sat in the hospital where they told me what was wrong, but I didn’t really understand what they were saying. I traveled back home on crutches, and the road to

Osland through phase 1 of Q School kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

After the first two days of four rounds of golf in phase 1 of the LPGA Qualifying School, Kelowna golfer Megan Osland made an adjustment with her putter. She was sitting at oneover par and in 35th position out of 283 professional and amateur ladies’ golfers, inside the top 60 who would advance to the next stage of qualifying. And the adjustment worked as she started to roll in the putts, making six birdies en route to a three-under par 69 in round three before making four birdies for a final round 72. Her two-under par total was good enough for a tie for 12th place and a spot in the next stage of the three-stage qualifying for the top ladies golf tour, the LPGA. “It’s just the start, there are three stages and the ultimate goal is to get through all three and

get my LPGA tour card, but it’s a good start,” said Osland, 22 and back home in Kelowna this week. “Just to get through the first stage was good. It was my first Q school experience and you see how it goes and how it’s done. I was a little nervous the first day but overall I played really steady.” Osland, who has completed four years of eligibility in the NCAA after a solid university career at San Jose State University, will turn pro this week as she looks to take the next step in

her career. Playing in the Q School with hundreds of other women golfers, all looking for what will eventually be 25 new players on the LPGA tour, came with a lot of pressure. But the KSS grad kept herself calm and made just two double-bogeys in the four pressure-packed rounds. “It was definitely a high pressure tournament,” she said. “The cutline was four-over par so that’s just one-over in each of the rounds. I tried to keep it all in perspective and I was very calm. I feel like I played very solid golf. I only had two bad holes over the four rounds.” The next stage of qualifying for the LPGA will take place in October where Osland will again play four rounds to determine if she can move onto the final stage. In the meantime, Osland is getting set to take part in this Monday’s qualifier for the LPGA Canadian Pacific Women’s Open

Falcons into WCL Playoffs for the first time since 2010 For the first time in franchise history the Kelowna Falcons (34-19) have won the West Coast League’s (WCL) East

Division pennant after a weekend sweep in Walla Walla. The sweep ends the season and sends the

Falcons into the WCL Playoffs for the first time since 2010 as they will match-up against the defending champion

SEASON TICKETS

Bellingham Bells (3321) in a series that opened Tuesday night in Bellingham before the final two games take place in Kelowna, Wednesday and Thursday at Elks Stadium (6:35 p.m.). This will be the first time the Falcons and Bells have met in the post season. The Falcons will have home field advantage for the best of three WCL semi-final thanks to its first place finish in the WCL. During the six game regular season series the Falcons beat the

Bells four times winning twice at home and twice on the road. Each game was tight as the Falcons outscored the Bells 3530. The largest margin of victory for either team was a Falcons 8-1 win. The Falcons tallied 50 hits in the series and had a .252 average, while the

Bells recorded 53 hits and a .258 average. This will be classic offence versus pitching match-up. The Falcons are one of only two teams to collect over 500 hits (542) and had the second best team batting average, hitting at a .297 clip. The Falcons had the League’s best on base percentage at .398. The Bells have the League’s top pitching staff collecting a 3.26 ERA and 17 saves. “This is what it’s all about for us,” said General Manager Mark Nonis. “We have been so lucky to have record

breaking crowds this season and we hope to see more of the same in the playoffs. I’m just glad we gave our fans a great team on the field to cheer for. I’m proud of how our coaching staff and players have conducted themselves, they have acted like pros.” Tickets for Wednesday’s playoff game at Elks Stadium will be available when the main gate opens at 5 p.m. For more information call the Falcons headquarters at 250-7634100.

Kelowna swimmer Josh Zakala, 17, of the Kelowna AquaJets won his first ever medal at a Senior National competition last week in Point-Claire, Quebec at Swimming Canada’s Summer Swimming Championships. Zakala had a standout day on Thursday, day one of the meet, claiming bronze in the men’s 800m freestyle, dropping a huge 11 seconds off of his best

time. Zakala posted his time after a best time in the 200m free, that finished him in 28th spot. Head coach Peter Wilkins said it was impressive as Zakala’s seed time for the event did not put him into the fastest heat that swam in finals. Josh blew his heat out of the water from the first 100 and didn’t look back. The next morning, Zakala competed in the

400 IM, an event that he was able to finish 10th in at the World Championship Trials back in April. Zakala matched his time, and qualified for the finals in 10th position. The competition features 460 of the best swimmers from all over Canada, as well as France, Ireland and Bermuda. ••• Pan American Games medalist and Kelowna’s own Kierra Smith will

return to Kelowna on Wednesday at 11:40 a.m. and fans are welcome to join her friends and family to welcome her back. Smith recently won gold at the Pan American Games in mid July then placed eighth at the World Swimming Championships in Russia at the end of last week. Smith’s Air Canada flight number is 1975.

Gym time make Barzilay competitive SKIER FROM A18

OSLAND FROM A19 before she returns to school to complete her degree. On Monday Osland will play in the oneround qualifier for the Canadian Women’s Open to be played Aug. 20 to 23 at the Vancouver Golf Club. The top four finishers in the Monday

event will advance to the tournament. “It’s one round and basically anything can happen,” she said. “It’s a shootout for 18 holes. I’m excited and I’m confident but it’s not going to be easy. I just want to continue playing the way I’m playing and hopefully I can make it.” If she does, it will be

Osland’s first tournament on the LPGA tour. After next week’s event, Osland will return for an internship at San Jose State to complete her degree in recreation management and continue training for the next stage of the LPGA Q School.

recovery isn’t an easy one for knee injuries.” After an ACL tear, it takes an average skier about six months of recovery until they can get back on snow. In her recovery, Barzilay ended up taking off the entire competitive year to rehab. While the painful recovery involved surgery and three or four physiotherapy appointments every week, the process of getting back into competition has added extra motivation for her. “Looking back I wasn’t as fit as I could have been, and that’s one of the big things that we find,” she said. “Knee injuries are especially more common in girls, and fitness is one of the biggest factors in having a tear. In the past couple years after my injury I’ve completely changed my fitness, I’m a completely different person, and I’m incredibly motivated. I find new ways to get out and be active, and I spend so much time in the gym working on my fitness because it’s one of the most important things in terms of being successful.” Part of Barzilay’s motivation comes from the goal she has set for herself—this year, she wants to make the National Team. Canada has three National Teams: The ‘C’ team, or development team, is the Nor-Am Cup team; the ‘B’ team is the World Cup team; and the ‘A’ team is the Olympic team. Every athlete begins by making the ‘C’ team, and attempts to work their way up from there. Currently, Canada holds the Nations Cup and boasts the best moguls skiers in the world. Getting on the Canadian National Team then provides an additional distinction as it means you aren’t just one of the best skiers in Canada, but one of the best in the world. “(Getting on the team) would mean that all my hard work has paid off, I’ve put so much into this. With all the stuff I’ve had to do to support myself, it’s go big or go home everyday. You put your heart and soul into it, and it would mean my hard work is paying off and my vision of being an independent athlete and my belief that it would help me in my development was true.

‘Anything can happen’ in one round

By managing her own training schedule Mason Barzilay finds she can continue her education, contribute to her community, stay in touch with family and ramp up her athletic performance. I took a huge bet, and hopefully it pays off. It would also mean more funding, but it would also mean more traveling too.” Making the National Team is based 80 per cent on results, with the remaining 20 per cent based on discretion. Coaches will be watching skiers throughout the year, and will conduct a year-end interview with several athletes at Senior Nationals where they will be looking for discipline, motivation and other mental factors. All of the traveling and training Barzilay does to participate and compete in moguls does bring a financial burden into the equation. She generally needs between $10,000 and $30,000 a year in funding to compete in national and international events, meaning she spends a notable amount of time fundraising. There isn’t much funding available at her level, even if you make the National Team, meaning she has to come up with most of the money on her own. To provide the money she is currently working two jobs, holds bottle drives, and hosts two Warren Miller movie screenings every year. One screening is held in West Kelowna, with this year’s taking place on Nov. 19, while the other is in Victoria also in November. She is also always on the lookout for sponsors, who can contact her through her website, masonbarzilay.ca. When Barzilay isn’t training, working or fundraising, you can likely find her in a classroom.

She is attending Okanagan College and has almost completed a summer human psychology course, which will allow her to work towards obtaining a degree in human kinetics or kinesiology, which she will begin taking classes for in the fall. Barzilay also has an interest in being active in her community, as she has helped with political campaigns and raised more than $1,400 for a

IS CE SPAMITED LI

new skate park in West Kelowna, which was announced in July. Despite all of the competition, training and fundraising involved with skiing at her level, Barzilay has never lost the simple joy of the sport. She still goes skiing with her parents as often as she can, and every year she eagerly looks forward to going back to where it all began for Christmas with her whole family at Apex.

The Kelowna Heat U18 Girls fastball team battled hard this past weekend to bring home a silver medal at the U-18 Western Canadian Championships that were held in Lloydminster, SK. The team qualified for Westerns with a gutsy effort in Nanaimo two weeks earlier, placing fourth in the province and the qualification to the Westerns allowed the Heat one last chance to close out the season with a medal. And they didn’t disappoint, using an offense built on speed, bunting and power hitting, backed up with solid pitching and tight defense. The Heat had a 3-1 record through the roundrobin while outscoring their competition 37 to 25. Nanaimo surprised

them with a nail-biting 6-5 loss at the start of the playoffs which sent the team down the longer path to fight back into medal contention. The girls dug deep and won their next three games in convincing style beating St. Albert (8-0), Manitoba #2 (13-3), and then a redemption win over Nanaimo (8-0). That win put the Heat into the finals against the unbeaten top-seeded team out of Manitoba, the Manitoba Thunder. The Thunder broke open a tight 2-2 tie in the fourth inning to take the lead en route to the win, giving the Heat the silver medal. On the way to the final the girls finished first in their pool after four games and then had to play five more games to the medals. Through

U18 Girls battle to silver at Western Canadian Championships

Members of the Kelowna Heat U-18 team celebrate one of their wins at the Western Canadian Championship held in Saskatchewan on the weekend. The Kelowna team fought their way to a silver medal win. the nine games played over four days the girls

scored 74 runs while only allowing 40 runs against.

“The team played through great adversity all

weekend with countless injuries and a steady flow

of ice, bandages and even crutches for one of the pitchers who sustained an ankle injury,” said coach Boyd Tyerman. “The pitching staff came out strong, keeping the opponents run production down, while the rest of the team generated the offense required to claim a medal. It was a full team effort, with every player contributing throughout the four days. “I have never coached a more determined group of young ladies, they were highly focused and put forth an effort that definitely deserved bringing home some hardware. They should be proud, having done something that no previous Okanagan team has accomplished (a Western Canadians medal).”

Sun defense hot sacking VI Raiders QB 10 times Heading into this past weekend’s match-up of unbeaten teams early in the BCFC season, the Okanagan Sun defense was hot, having allowed just seven points in two games. And against the rival VI Raiders in Nanaimo, the defense came up huge again, shutting down the Raiders offense in a 27-3 win over Vancouver Island, limiting the Raiders to just 35 yards rushing and 110 yards through the air and putting up a team record 10 quarterback sacks. “Ten sacks speaks for

itself,” said Sun coach Shane Beatty on a break from watching film Tuesday. “The kids played well. They played fast and they came out playing aggressive. It was a great performance from the D and the special teams and offensively we played very well as well,” Beatty said. Ryley Butler led the swarming defensive line with three sacks on his own while Lucas Machado had two and Jonas Gering was credited with 1.5. Layne Hull and Justin Gabriel each had one.

“Our defensive line had a heck of a game, we just out-performed them all game,” said Beatty. “It was a big win. Our kids came out with confidence. We came out with some swagger and we have to do that to be able to win.” The Sun improved to 3-and-0 with the win as they get set to return home to the Apple Bowl for another tough test as the Langley Rams (2-and-1) will come to Kelowna this weekend for a Saturday night game at 7 p.m.

YAMAMOTO, GIRO

September 11, 1922 – August 5, 2015 Giro passed away peacefully on August 5th at the age of 92. He will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed by family and friends. He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Margaret (Kobayashi), many sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews and their families. He was predeceased by his older brother Ichiro and younger brother Robert. Giro was born on September 11, 1922 in East Kelowna, where his parents operated an orchard. Later, the family moved to Glenmore, where they owned and operated Yamamoto Orchards for many years. Giro was involved in a variety of organizations over the years. Notably, he was a charter member of the Capri Rotary Club and was named a Paul Harris Fellow in recognition of his contributions. He and Margaret spent many happy years at Sunrise Village and were involved in many events there. His pastimes over the years included woodworking, photography, gardening, bonsai gardening, bread making and travelling. He was always tinkering, and his curiosity and keen intellect resulted in many practical “inventions” which could be seen throughout the home and yard. Sincere thanks to Kelowna General Hospital, Cottonwoods Care Centre and Dr. David Whiting for their dedication and exceptional care. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, August 15, 2015 at 10:00 am, Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna BC.

MR. LLOYD CHARLES JOHNSON December 12, 1925 ~ July 10, 2015

Lloyd passed unexpectedly in Kelowna, with his wife and love of his life, Bonni, at his side. Dad was born in Foam Lake, Sask., and moved to Kenora at a young age with his mother and two brothers, Cliff and Gene. Together they developed their work ethic by doing what they could to make ends meet. The three best friends joined the navy in WWII, where he served as a Sonar Operator on the corvette ‘Hepatica’. When dad returned to Kenora, he married Irene Houghton, began a long and successful work and business career, and raised us – Kenneth and Peter. He retired from the hospital in March of 1990. Dad provided for his family while serving the community through the Lions Club, as a volunteer for numerous local service groups, and lending a hand as he could to others. He embodied the the values of courtesy, hard work, care, and of being a help to others. He was a true gentleman. He was predeceased by Irene, his wife of 57 years, and brothers Clifford and Gene. Lloyd will be lovingly remembered by his wife Bonni, who adored him, and by her family who accepted him completely when they saw how he cherished her. By his sons Peter in Kenora, and Kenneth in Thunder Bay, by his grandchildren, Kellen in Portland, Oregon, and Kyle in Thunder Bay. He will be remembered too by his nieces and nephews of the Kantola, Houghton, and Johnson families, and by his many friends in Kenora whom he always remembered and talked about with a smile on his face, by the friends he made in Kelowna, and by his poker buddies who didn’t smile so much when he cleaned them out. And Papa will always be remembered by his adopted family; Bill, Debbie, Liam, and Lina O’Connor, who were each bright spots in his, and Nana’s, days. If you were to ask Lloyd what he wanted us to know through the example of his life, it would be that decency to others, hardwork, and self-reliance are values to live by, and that you should always believe in the promise and possibility of true love, and enjoy kids and animals. Thanks to Dr. J.D. McCauley and Dr. Micheal Bobyn of Kelowna General Hospital for their attention and efforts. He taught me patience, helped me grow, and introduced me to vanilla yogurt. He was a good man.

Drivers/Courier/ Trucking

DRESSELLER, MARYONNE JOSEPHINE (SCHMIRLER) Following a valiant battle with cancer, our dear Mom, Grandmother and Great-grandmother went home to be with her Lord August 1, 2015. She was born August 17, 1930 in Rabbit Lake, Sk. She took her schooling in St. Walberg, Sk and her teacher’s training in Saskatoon. Mom taught in a small country school near Fairholme, Sk at which time she met her future husband, Edwin Dressler. Together, they had 4 children; Darwin (Estelle), Sheryl (Doug) Jackson, Donald (Donna), Eileen (Glenn) Whittemore; 8 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. She was pre-deceased by her mother and father, Alice & Joseph Schmirler; brothers, Dave and Joe Schmirler and our dad, Edwin Dressler. Mom is survived by her sister, Eileen (Charlie) Campbell, Vancouver, BC and brother Guy (Linda) Schmirler, Vernon BC. Our mom enjoyed and excelled in many activities; curling, singing, sewing, various crafts, and was an excellent cook. For now, she is gone, but her memory will live on in each of us forever. A special thank you to the staff at Glenwood Homes for the care given to our mother. A Celebration of Life will be held Friday, August 14th, 1:30 at Evangel Church, 3261 Gordon Drive. In lieu of flowers, a donation to Evangel Ladies Care & Share would be appreciated by the family. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.firstmemorialfuneralkelowna.com Arrangements entrusted with First Memorial Funeral Services, Kelowna, BC. 250-762-2299

Robin Roberts Certified Carpet Cleaning Technician/Oxy-Dry System Developer

We spilled coffee and wine on our carpet. Will these stains come out or are they permanent?

Don’t panic! When these mishaps occur, the first thing to do is blot up the excess with an absorbent towel, but avoid aggressive scrubbing. It won’t help and you may damage the carpet fibers. Apply white vinegar and water mixed 2:1 with a damp cloth and it may dilute or even remove the stain. Coffee, wine, tea and fruit drinks have one thing in common - they have natural color in them and because of this, the carpet may accept this new color and become permanently dyed. Most stain resistant carpets will usually repel these natural colors and they are easily removed. However the stain resistance will degrade over time especially if you have your carpet repeatedly steam cleaned. The hot water and aggressive chemicals will remove this protection leaving the carpet vulnerable to staining. The Oxy-Dry® system is very effective at removing these stains that were once considered permanent and since we always apply our Durashield protector your carpet will resist soiling and staining like it did when it was new and stay clean up to 3 times longer!

To report an animal in distress… call

At certain points in the day, your vehicle can get up to 60+ Celsius, add on a few pounds of fur and your dog is on the fast track to death. Dogs and cats pant to release heat through their paws, which keeps them cool, but in the warmth of your car, this is not possible. So, leave your pet at home and your perky pooch will thank you!

O’MALLEY ID#373617

O’Malley is a young, high energy canine who will require a very energetic guardian, that will make him an active member of the household by running and hiking and taking him to obedience classes to help him reach his full potential.
