News DIVERSITY IN KELOWNA

The turnout for the annual Pride March was a reflection of Kelowna’s evolution as an accepting community for sexual preference minority groups.

Record turnout for Pride March Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownnacapnews.com

With their rainbow flags flying, nearly 500 Okanaganites of all stripes took part in a waterfront march to show support for Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, Transgender and Queer pride. “We’ve had record turnouts for everything—it’s such a huge crowd today, and I don’t even know how many people are here,” said Wilbur Turner, organizer of this week’s Pride events in Kelowna. There’s no way to really know what caused the march, which has been happening for years, to balloon in attendance, but Turner put some of the credit on Mayor Colin Basran’s shoulders. “With the crosswalks and with him being the grand marshal of the parade, it raised awareness… and people want to get behind something that shows progressiveness and inclusiveness in our city,” said Turner. For Basran, the decision to embrace the event was simply a matter of being part of an accepting community. “It’s just the right thing to do,” said Basran. “There are still people around the world who can’t freely love the people who they love and be the people they were born to be and that’s not right. So, anything we can do to promote awareness and to be a more inclusive city, I’m all for it.” Kelowna, he pointed out, is doing a better job at being open-mind today than ever before, but there are still remnants of its intolerant roots to be found. That was made evident, said Basran, last week when the four new rainbow crosswalks at the intersection of Lawrence Avenue and Pandosy Street were unveiled. Complaints about lack of consultation and a waste of taxpayers’ cash, in addition to concerns about messaging were some of the comments that streamed into local news organizations. All those comments were summed up by those who went on forums in defence of the crosswalks, as thinly veiled bigotry or outright ignorance. “We are moving in the right direction, but we still have a lot of work to do…,” Basran said. “But, are we a better community now than we were five to 10 years ago? Absolutely. And I hope we’re a better community five to 10 years from now.” If the number of children who were waving flags of support are any indication, the vast majority of Kelowna’s next generation of residents won’t think twice about LBGTQ rights. Already, said one mother of three teens at the march, Kelowna has proven to be a supportive and openminded place to live. Renee Mitchell said when her 18-year-old daughter came out, she had no trouble accessing the community support she needed. She’s part of a diversity club and active in other groups. As to whether the family had any issues with her orientation, Mitchell shrugged her shoulders and said, “Absolutely not. We are proud of her. She is who she is.”

Kelowna’s first ‘ghost bike’ goes up in memory of Patricia Keenan

Kelowna man drowns after fall from river raft

Kathy Michaels

kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

In memory of a local woman who died in a cycling crash, Kelowna has its first ghost bike. Painted white and locked to a power pole near where Patricia Keenan fatally rode into a car door that suddenly opened, the bike is intended to act as a reminder to all of what could have been prevented with more driver awareness and attention. “This is our first installation of a ghost bike memorial, and we’re hoping enough awareness can be raised that it will be the last,” said past-president of the Kelowna Area Cycling Coalition Landon Bradshaw, adding that he

had spoken with Keenan’s family about the tribute and they were in full support. Being ‘doored’ isn’t uncommon in Kelowna, Bradshaw said. He and countless friends have had the potentially lifeending experience, although very few report it. Quoting stats from ICBC, Bradshaw said from 2010 to 2013, Kelowna had 10 incidents on file. In Vancouver, for 2014 alone, there were 150 reported incidents. “It happens every day,” he said. Cyclists face an active threat to both their left and right, he said, and it’s only natural that they steer closer to the parked lane of cars to feel safe. What may improve conditions for cyclists

Kelowna Area Cycling Coalition president Skye Chataway said the group may continue to actively lobby the city for their implementation. While Kelowna has just one Ghost Bike, other cities across the globe have been erecting the memorials for cyclists for years.

the tragedy that took place on an otherwise anonymous street corner, and as quiet statements in support of cyclists’ right to safe travel.” The first ghost bikes were created in St. Louis, Missouri in 2003. There are over 630 ghost bikes that have since appeared in more than 210 locations throughout the world. “For those who create and install the memorials, the death of a fellow bicyclist hits home,” the

site reads. “We all travel the same unsafe streets and face the same risks; it could just as easily be any one of us. Each time we say we hope to never have to do it again—but we remain committed to making these memorials as long as they are needed.” Keenan died from her injuries in July. A Critical Mass Ride has already been held in her honour, and the coalition is considering making it an annual event.

The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a man who died following a white-water rafting incident on the Kicking Horse River near Golden on Aug. 16. He was Rene Bourgault du Coudray, aged 29, from Kelowna. “Mr. Bourgault du Coudray and three friends were on a rafting trip on the Kicking Horse River in a raft owned by one of the four. At about 6 p.m. on Aug. 16, 2015, after about 90 minutes on the Rene Bourgault water, they hit a stretch of du Coudray fast-flowing rapids and all four men ended up in the water,” said Larry Marzinzik regional coroner, Interior Region. The other three managed to reach the far shore safely, but Bourgault du Coudray was caught up in the current and was unable to rescue himself. He was eventually pulled from the water about 500 metres downstream, but was deceased at the scene. The BC Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate this death. Marzinzik said the family of Bourgault du Coudray has been notified of his death and on behalf of family members, the BC Coroners Service requests that their privacy be respected at this difficult time.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Unmanned aerial vehicles can be positive resource All unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, are not created equal. While flying a hobby store model for fun or filming one’s recreational activities from a unique angle, for example, will continue to grow in popularity, the industrial uses of UAVs have us excited to see what comes next. Recently, a Victoria-area fire rescue was given a taste of the potential effectiveness of UAVs when firefighters were called to haul a fallen hiker off Mount Finlayson. Commercial operator David Carlos flew his cameraequipped UAV during the rescue. He was making his first flight over the mountain and helped mainly to chart out a safe escape route for emergency responders. His efforts illustrated how UAVs can be a critical piece of equipment to help make such operations safer for all involved. While UAVs and their crude prototypes have been around for a while, we’re just now finding out how they can best be put to commercial use. How not to use them has been exemplified here in the Okanagan this summer when forest fire fighting efforts have been interrupted by the appearance by drones flying over the fire sites. As with any new technology, it takes a while for the humans in charge to catch up and create policies that make sense in the real world. Transport Canada guidelines seem to indicate that they have given plenty of thought to the multitude of uses of such vehicles, from single-propeller, lightweight recreational models to multi-prop aircraft controllable at long range and capable of reaching high speeds and altitude. We like that a government agency appears to be using logic and common sense to determine the best way forward and that local agencies might one day have another valuable tool in their toolbox.

CAPITAL news AWARD-WINNING COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER

Thanks to all of the ‘unsung heroes’ When we talk about community, City most often we Confidential are talking about people—people who ALISTAIR do things that make WATERS where we live a better place to be. While it’s easy to pass these folks off as “unsung heroes”—mostly just visible to those involved with the particular cause, event, group or project they are working on—and focus on the more glamorous “celebrities” amongst us, it’s the hundreds of thousands of people toiling behind the scenes in communities across B.C. who help create a sense of place for us all. These folks could be volunteers for social or sports groups, they could be work with children, seniors, people with disabilities, the homeless, the sick, the dying. They could be you. You name it and there are volunteers and paid people making a difference where it counts, in the lives of the people who live in their communities. For some it’s their job, for others it’s their passion. But for all of us, it’s a benefit. The one thing they have in common is the importance of the work they do. The sum of the parts may not be greater than the whole in this case. But when the whole is making a community a better place to live, it’s hard to top the end result. One of those people is a Kelowna man who is stepping away from what he has done for the last 15

years. Richard Montgomery has been the driving force behind the Kelowna Apple Triathlon since 2000. I don’t know the man but I know what he’s done. He has helped put the local triathlon on map, taking an event with 300 competitors to one that now hosts 1,800 participants each year and has become a signature event for the city. For several years I was a volunteer with the Okanagan Marathon and worked closely with the then volunteer race director of the event. I saw first hand the amount of work involved in putting on such an event. So I know the countless hours Montgomery must have put in over the years. And, in its own way, whether you are a participant or not, you have to realize the Apple Triathlon has done its part to help make Kelowna a more complete place. I know this same column could be written about a myriad of other local events, programs and individuals. And maybe it should be. It has been said it takes a village to raise a child. But it also takes that child, who grows into a caring adult, to help make a village. History is made by those who show up, and life, as we would like it to be, is also made by people who show up. So here’s to the “unsung heroes.” We may not know their names but we should be grateful they do what they do.

‘Very dangerous’ to accept all ‘classifications’ of people To compare Open letter to Alistair Waters: Dearest Alistair: Your column Kelowna Still Has a Colouful Red Neck (Aug. 12 Kelowna Capital News) was very interesting. It sincerely showed your concern for the minority groups here in Kelowna. However, please remember, they are definitely in the minority in our Christian influenced society, and always will be. Your mother will want you to remember that she, along with her mate, brought you to this Earth. An action of love and human creation of their offspring. This very minority group, the LGBT, as many other minority groups, are fighting very hard for acceptance, but they will always be recognized as not the norm in this great Canada of ours. As far as the statement made by the City Hall elected representatives, a statement accepting every classification of humanity is very dangerous. As I read this all-inclusive foolishness, my heart went out to all the types and genders existent in our Jehovah

NOT A MATTER OF CHOICE

created universe, that want to be included in this offer by our local elected persons. People like the ultra rich, extremely poor, robbers and thieves (because of their need for food and furniture and a place to live). We must recognize the various classes of humans, however, we do not need to celebrate the differences with parades, colourful flags, paint, etc. In return, Christians must not force their beliefs down the throats of LGBT, and other religious groups, in respect for their desires. We will just continue to pray for all humans, that all will get the love and recognition that is available to them, as they qualify for, in their daily Earthly journey and on into their life hereafter, where there will be no need for this type of discussion. We will all be classified individually by that great, loving, sacrificial Lamb. The ultimate Creator who created Adam and Eve for His companionship, who instructed them to be “fruitful and multiply.” E. Barry Patterson, Kelowna

SENSE OF SAFETY

Fortis demands ongoing big payola to keep smart meter radio turned off To the editor: For the past month, FortisBC Electric has been threatening to cut off my power as of Aug. 12, 2015. Since December 2014, I chose to opt out, for legitimate reasons, to not have a smart meter installed on my house. I wanted to retain the analog meter. Analog meters last for many, many years. Power (electricity) into our homes and businesses is an essential service and truly should be a publicly-owned utility. However, after appearing in person on Aug. 4 with my letters stating my case with Fortis at the offices of MLA Steve Thomson and Premier Christy Clark to no avail, I appeared in person with all my info at the Fortis office on Springfield Road on Aug. 10, 2015. A meeting was arranged, so on Aug. 11, 2015, I met face to face with Mr. Mason. Mr. Warren was in Africa (so I was told). These two employees were the writers of the letters addressed to me, dated July 10 and July 28.

August 12, 2015: Yes, either I had to go off grid (therefore a noisy generator) or have a smart meter. That was the choice. After much discussion at my house with Fortis employees, needless to say I have a ‘radio off’ meter. I truly felt like Erin Brockovich (a renowned consumer advocate who is trying to right the wrongs every day) standing up for my rights and freedom of choice. That is how I introduced myself. And at the same time wondering if our society has become a colony of Russia? I very much resent the extra one-time charge of $88 then the $18 for each read of the meter in the future. I have told the Fortis employees why. My father served in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War 2 and we all should know what that was all about. Carol Stein, Kelowna

Compassion alive in Kelowna To the editor: This is a story of compassion and empathy in a world that is sorely lacking in these areas. My friend was in a serious car accident. He sustained a brain injury along with neck and back injuries. He didn’t have the funds to hire a lawyer to deal with ICBC. Due to his brain injury, it limited his ability to seek help. Because he could no longer work, he lost his job. Also because ICBC negated their responsibility as an insurance company, he lost his home. He is now on medical disability, because his injuries left him with permanent damage. He needed extensive dental work involving his front teeth. I felt so bad for him because no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to save up the extra 30 per cent dental cost,

not covered by disability. I decided to write to my dentist to see if he could help with my friends embarrassing plight. My dentist, in the Mission, showed his compassion and empathy by doing the dental work needed to give my friend his smile back. Thank you so much for caring. We need more people like you. After losing a good job and a nice home, due to no fault of his own, and now receiving less than $900 a month disability to try to live on, you can understand my friend’s situation. Where is the compassion and empathy in that? Ann Jackson, Kelowna

LBGTQ to Christianity as a choice, is absurd

To the editor: I was reading a letter to the editor written in the Aug 14 issue of the Kelowna Capital News. In it there is a man who was complaining about the newly painted colourful crosswalks downtown and how they were a waste of taxpayer’s money. While he has a point, but not a very big one, I’m sure there are many other projects that cost much more money which we, the taxpayers, have to foot the bill. I have no issue with this. What I do have an issue with is his comparison of LGTBQ and Christianity, or any other religion. He attempted to say that if any religious group had done this we would be all up in arms with them trying to shove their beliefs down our throats, and I quote: “Different beliefs, but the exact same concept.” In what world do you live in that you think being gay is a belief? It is who they are. It is their hearts beating, their lungs breathing, their legs jumping, and it’s their very core of their soul. They didn’t choose to be gay. You choose religions because of the beliefs that you value in it. To sit there and compare the two is completely absurd and extremely offensive to every member of the LGTBQ. There is nothing wrong with the crosswalk; it’s a beautiful unique feature of Kelowna. If anything, it brings more attention to the intersection and crosswalk so that people may cross safely.

Dan Albas is looking to serve his community in Parliament for a second term. While Albas is an incumbent MP for the Conservatives, he is running this time in the newly created Central Okanagan-SimilkameenNicola riding. Albas’ political career began in 2008 as a councillor in Penticton, where he said he built a reputation on accountability by always returning phone calls and other requests promptly. Albas explained he has spent the past four years learning what it’s like to be an MP and bringing the issues and ideas of his constituents

Green Party candidate Robert Mellalieu sees being in a federal election as another way of serving his community. Professionally, Mellalieu has been a computer technician for 25 years and has experience working with community organizations such as Big Brother, Rotary and the Antique and Classic Boat Society. Mellalieu admits running for MP in the new Central OkanaganSimilkameen-Nicola

constituency wasn’t something he initially wanted to do. “Looking around, I’ve seen the issues, I can do my research, and nobody else was stepping up,” he said. “My dad would step up, and I wanted to show my son that this is the thing to do when you see stuff going on. “This is the proper way to accomplish something.” Mellalieu grew up in Duncan on Vancouver Island. After brief stints in Calgary and Winnipeg, he has spent the past two

decades in the Okanagan. He believes the Green Party is the right choice for Canada because there are facts that need to be understood, and his party is committed to evidencebased decision making. “It’s a hard decision to

make, but for instance we need to stop bringing oil out of the ground and we need to stop burning dino fuel,” he explained. “It’s scary for people, it’s awful. It’s going to be different, it’s going to be change, but that’s what leadership is for. “We need to let people know it’s not that bad. We have electric cars, we have the technology. This isn’t going to be a major change in your lifestyle, except you’re going to have more money in your pocket at the end of the day because you aren’t buying gas.”

election. Prime Minister Stephen Harper expanded his favoured approach of direct payments, increasing the Conservative government’s child care benefit plan that has been compared to the former Family Allowance. The increase was set up to produce bonus cheques to eligible parents in July, retroactive to the start of the year. Payments went up from $100 to $160 a month for each child under six, with a new $60 payment for those aged seven to 17, payable

to families regardless of income or method of child care. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau responded by promising a modified version that would phase out the benefit for highincome families and increase payments for the rest. Building into its calculations a proposed income tax cut for middle and low-income people, the party estimates a two-parent family with an income of $90,0000 and two children would receive $490 a month tax

the decision to end home delivery of mail by Canada Post says he is hopeful local candidates from all political parties running in the current federal election accept his invitation to show up. Patrick Ward, president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers local 760, said his aim in inviting the Kelowna-Lake Country and Central OkanaganSimilkameen-Nicola candidates was to have them all state publicly where they stand on the issue of home delivery and why. “It’s not my intention to make them look bad,” said Ward on Tuesday. The rally is scheduled for 4 p.m. today at the Capri Centre Mall, home of incumbent Conservative KelownaLake Country candidate Ron Cannan’s constituency office. Ward said his invitation to attend has been accepted by the two NDP candidates running locally—Norah Bowman in Kelowna-Lake Country and Angelique Wood in Central-OkanaganSimilkameen-Nicola— and the Liberal candidate Karley Scott running in the Central OkanaganSilmilkameen-Nicola riding. As of yesterday, Ward had not heard from Cannan, CentralOkanagan-SimilkameenNicola Conservative Dan Albas, Kelowna-Lake Country Liberal Stephen Fuhr, Central-OkanagangSimilkameen-Nicola Green Party candidate Robert Mallalieu or Libertarian Kenneth Pillet. Ward said based on

their party’s current publicly stated positions on the issue, he expected the NDP, Green and Liberal candidates would show up, but was not sure about the Conservatives. If candidates from all the parties do attend, the event would mark the first local gathering of all Central Okanagan candidates at one event during this election campaign. Ward said he expected more than 150 people would show up for the rally to oppose Canada Post’s plan, a plan he said was first proposed under, and supported by, the former Liberal government and now supported by the current Conservative government.

Patrick Ward, president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers local 760, wants the political candidates for the two local federal ridings to show up at a rally in support of Canada Post maintaining home delivery service and explain their party’s stance on the issue. The current Liberal Opposition has said it opposes the end of home delivery of mail by Canada Post. While critics call the plan a move to privatize mail delivery in Canada, Canada Post has argued the decision is one based on cost and saving money and points to the growing

use of community mail boxes across the country. In the Central Okanagan, CUPW 760 represents 220 Canada Post mail carriers and another 30 private sector couriers contracted by Canada Post from as far away as Penticton, Osoyoos, Revelstoke and Grand Folks.

said Chief Robert Louie, via an email response to a query about the decision. “Last night’s (Aug. 12) vote allows WFN to move towards resolving this issue while keeping our business reputation intact, and will pave the way for future developments of those lands.” Louie wouldn’t offer much information about how the vote played out, but wrote “this is a private matter that is being worked out with WFN membership, and as such, we are not able to provide results of the incamera vote or minutes.” Louie called a press conference last month to explain the WFN is now in a position where it had to pay $8 million to the bank, or risk losing the land the project was set to be built on. As plans for the highly publicized health centre got underway, the WFN provided its partner Ad Vitam Healthcare with a parcel of land around 12 acres in size. In exchange, Ad Vitam was supposed to raise the capital needed to build the medical facility. The trouble, explained Louie, was that Ad Vitam Healthcare drew funds

from a $15 million line of credit that was on the property for various uses aimed at spurring the project’s growth. The efforts didn’t work and then Ad Vitam stopped repaying the loan, leaving the WFN holding the bag. The WFN has “pots of money” in its reserves to pay the debt, said Louie, but it won’t do so until the option is taken to its membership in a referendum, which was held this week. There are still plans to see a”medically-themed development” on band land, said Louie. It just won’t be of the same scope and scale that was previously presented. Nor will it be happening any time soon. At best, the WFN’s attempt to find profit in private health care won’t be back on the books until August 2016, a date that is three years behind its originally-projected construction start for the medical centre. August 2016 is also when the next WFN council election will be held, and Louie’s reelection may also be required to see the project go any further.

Competing child care benefits options offered LEADERS FROM A8 free, compared to the Conservative program of $275 a month after taxes. The Liberals calculate that a single parent with $30,000 income and one child would receive $533 a month, up from $440 under Conservative child benefit and tax rules. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has offered to retain the Conservative payments and expand Quebec’s subsidized daycare program across the country, with a maximum payment of $15 a day and a long-term goal of creating one million new spaces across the country. Mulcair has said the Quebec program allowed 70,000 mothers to return to the workforce, and the NDP program would be available to private daycare operators as long as they are independent and not “big box” operations. Green Party leader Elizabeth May is also offering a universal federally-funded child care program, including support for workplace daycare through a direct tax credit to employers of $1,500 a year. The Green Party also wants to appoint a national children’s commissioner to advise government on policy.

WITHOUT A WILL MORE THAN HALF YOUR ESTATE COULD GO TO THE GOVERNMENT

Wednesday, August 19, 2015 Capital News

The Perils of Using Joint Ownership in Estate and Incapacity Planning Joint ownership is a popular topic in our estate and incapacity planning practice. When one joint owner dies, the property will automatically pass to the surviving owner(s). It does not form part of the deceased owner’s estate. This avoids probate fees, and the legal expenses and time inherent in the probate process. Joint ownership can have unanticipated or undesired

WITHOUT A WILL THE COURTS MAY DECIDE WHO WILL RAISE YOUR KIDS

consequences when used inappropriately, or if the surviving joint owner acts in a way which is unexpected or which defeats your objectives and goals. Possible poor outcomes can include the following: 1. Unintended distribution of your estate. Those who you leave behind may not be able to compel a surviving joint owner to distribute your former joint property in a particular fashion after you die. If you own all your property jointly with

your second spouse, you expose your children to being disinherited if you die first and your surviving spouse decides later to change his or her estate plan. 2. Risk of abuse. Some people make another person, like a child, a joint owner of his or her bank accounts to get help to manage it and pay bills. The other joint owner has full access to all the money and can keep it all after you die. 3. Loss of exclusive control. With land, you will require the cooperation and consent of all registered joint owners to deal with the property who might become uncooperative. 4. Attack by creditors. Your property can be charged by judgment creditors of the other joint owners. 5. Tax liabilities. Depending on the nature of the property, transferring a joint interest can cause tax consequences such as triggering a capital gain or loss for you and even for the other

estate to your beneficiaries. When a family member or friend serves as an Executor they often find it a difficult, time-consuming and stressful undertaking and say they wouldn’t agree to do it again. To relieve them of this responsibility, many people appoint a corporate executor, such as a trust company, to manage or provide assistance with the administration of their estates or trusts. One of the greatest courtesies you can provide your loved ones is to develop your estate plan and write your Will while you’re healthy and thinking clearly. In this way, you’ll ensure that your financial affairs can be easily handled in the event of a crisis during your lifetime and that there will be no uncertainty concerning your wishes at end of life. The advisors at Community Western Trust Corporation are highly skilled professionals with years of experience in senior positions with major accounting firms, financial

institutions and law firms. We can help you structure, review and achieve your personal financial planning, business succession planning, tax planning and Will and estate planning goals.

Representation Agreements A Representation Agreement is a legal planning document which can be used in British Columbia to provide your named representative with the authority to make health care decisions for you if you are unable to do so because of mental or physical disability. Living Will language can also be incorporated into a Representation Agreement which provides the named representative the legal right to refuse specific medical treatment or any treatment at all on your behalf. A Representation Agreement gives you the opportunity

to appoint a person of your choice to make health care decisions for you on an ongoing basis. You set out in what circumstances consent to treatment is to be given on your behalf by your representative and in what circumstances it is not to be given. As well, you can specify acceptable types of treatment. If you do not have a Representation Agreement and you are incapable of making health care decisions for yourself, the legislative framework allows a health care provider to appoint a person to make those decisions for you on a temporary basis. The person, known as a temporary substitute decision maker, is chosen from a statutory imposed list beginning with a spouse (including a common law spouse), then adult children, then siblings and so on.

Everyone should have an estate plan which makes arrangements for the management, protection and disposition of their financial assets and liabilities both during their lifetime and following the eventual circumstance of their death. The building block of any estate plan is the preparation of a Will. A Will is a legally binding agreement that provides for the orderly transition of your assets, along with any liabilities, to your designated beneficiaries. To be effective, it’s critical that your Will is comprehensive, binding, valid and optimizes the transfer of assets to your beneficiaries.

Taking incorrect steps in the preparation of your Will, or relying on poor advice, frequently leads to unnecessary financial liabilities at the time of death or to transfers of assets which contradict your original intentions. Your Will is a living document which should be uptdated on a regular basis. Most people review their Will every few years, or after a change in personal circumstances such as marriage, parenthood, change in marital status, birth of grandchildren and acquisition or sale of major assets, in order to assess whether the instructions in their Will need updating. It’s also important to consider changes to legislation – in British Columbia a new law called the Wills, Estates and Succession Act changed rules concerning Wills and Estates for deaths occurring after March 31, 2014. It is wise to write a Will and name an Executor who will manage and distribute your

joint owner when the entire property is sold later. 6. Ineffective Plan. If your plan is to keep the property out of your estate, it could end up there if the other joint owner dies first. Some laws also can get in the way of joint ownership working the way people want it to work. Most people use joint ownership to simplify estate administration and to save time and money. Joint Ownership can do all of that. If the use of joint ownership results in an outcome that is undesired or one which people decide to fight about, the litigation which can follow to resolve the dispute will most certainly make things even more complicated and time consuming and expensive than if you had not utilized joint ownership at all. If you think that the use of joint property is appropriate for you, do discuss the situation with your legal advisor. Joint ownership may be exactly what you need, and if it falls short,

D Ten years ago, Chad Pratch found out his greatgrandmother was Metis. It was a secret she took to M her grave but one his uncle, a police detective, was D able to unearth. Pratch didn’t know it then, but within a few years that heritage would lead the then UBCO art student to be asked to create a sculpture honouring young aboriginal children in the Central Okanagan and their t families, a theme he depicts in his work as children in w a canoe moving on from the legacies left by Canada’s R residential school system. “When I found out I was 1/16th Metis, I didn’t think b that much about it,” said Pratrch, 32, as he prepared e his Movement sculpture in the new outdoor courtyard J of Kelowna General Hospital for its public unveiling this D M afternoon. He said when he was first asked to create the work, a P he was hesitant. He did not really consider himself aboriginal and did not know if he could do it, coming t from what he considered a non-aboriginal background. a His great-grandmother kept her aboriginal identity d l secret all her life, having been a residential school h student and someone who had felt the pain and w humiliation associated with her time there. w But Pratch said with lot of support from the local aboriginal community, the sculpture took shape in his f h mind, first as a wall-mounted relief and then, at the A request of KHG, as a full-blown sculpture. “I’m a real watered-down aboriginal,” said Pratch W a with a smile about his initial hesitance. “What did I c know about (the residential school experience and T legacy)?” But as the work moved from his vision to a reality, i d it became a more personal piece for him, in part as B a tribute to his great-grandmother Mary Elizabeth (Ladouceur) Jones, who he said obviously felt she had t to hide her aboriginal heritage, even from her family. c Commissioned by Aboriginal CATCH (Community e Action Toward Children’s Health), Movement consists o S of a pile of red bricks, representing the crumbling residential school system, metal feathers springing up w from the bricks representing those who survived and Y did not survive the schools and floating on the bricks, v a metal canoe carrying five children, some with their a p arms outstretched to embrace the future. “The canoe seemed like a good symbol for moving 7 t forward,” said Pratch, who completed the work in 2008 but had to wait seven years for a place to be C found to display it. In the end, Kelowna General m Hospital agreed it should go in its new outdoor a courtyard between the Centennial Building and the a new Interior Heart and Surgical Centre. s The delay, caused in part by the search for a h place to display it and then by construction of the v two new hospital buildings, had Pratch, by now a r teacher in Calgary, considering scraping the pieces n of the sculpture rather than keeping them stored in u his father’s garage. “When I got the email (that the S time had come for the installation), I was like, what 6 sculpture? Oh, yea, that one. I remembered” said R Pratch laughing. a c w Meet a c Chef Bjorn w

Interesting Facts About Mist Cooling Did you know that mist cooling can aid in the production of milk and eggs? It’s true, the animals bodies are using a lot of energy to produce and their bodies create more heat because of it. During times of high temperatures these poor animals can be extremely susceptible to heat distress. Often we complain about the temperature when it is very hot, however our pets and livestock cannot vocalize their distress or displeasure as we can. A mist cooling system for your corral or livestock pens can help these animals during periods of high heat. The mist cooling also helps to deter flying insects, dust and odors. Mist cooling works to remove heat from the surrounding air. Tiny water droplets are forced through fine nozzles, the water droplets absorb the energy(heat) in the air and evaporate, cooling the air. If you are interested in mist cooling systems please do not hesitate to contact our staff or drop in to see us.

Household budgets will soon be feeling the effects of the annual backto-school spending season, but there is some relief in sight for further education or training after the kids finish high school. The B.C. Training and Education Savings Program (BCTESP), which became available on Aug. 14, will provide $1,200 to eligible children for post-secondary education or training programs. Although the program was announced earlier in the year, the application process is now open for B.C. parents with children between the ages of six and nine. “Even if your children are just beginning their school life, you need to start planning on how to finance their post-secondary education or training aspirations,” said Rob Oleksyn, an investment expert with First West Credit Union’s Valley First division. “The BCTESP is just one several grants available that will really help jumpstart education savings.” In addition to $1,200 from the BCTESP, the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) will match 20 per cent of

p p l m e h ‘ t f

yearly contributions up to a maximum of $2,500. Eligible children could receive as much as $7,200 in CESG by the time they graduate high school. The Canada Learning Bond is another program which provides eligible children with $500 for their RESP right away with an additional $100 each year until the age of 15. “There are a several options when setting up an RESP and a variety of grants available so talking things through with an expert will ensure that you get the right plan for your situation and don’t miss out on any available government funds,” said Oleksyn. Anyone applying for the BCTESP, CESG or Canada Learning Bond will first need to set up a registered education savings plan (RESP) naming their child as the beneficiary. Both spouses may contribute to the RESP, but unlike an RRSP, contributions are not tax deductible. In addition, any government grants or growth from investment of RESP funds is deemed to be income when withdrawn by the beneficiary. Although these sources are taxable, students are typically in low tax brackets when withdrawing the funds.

Business plan offers path for entrepreneurial vision

Effectively planning is important for that exciting adventure in your life—starting your own entrepreneurial journey. Guess what? You get to be in charge of your own destiny. Every day is different with new opportunities to explore. But allow me to point out some key points that will help you along the way. First, I want you to step back and identify if you are passionate about your new venture idea. For example, a photographer may be passionate about colour, light and capturing moments on film. An entire day with camera in hand does not seem like ‘work’ at all. It feels, for that photographer, life fulfilling. It is this passion that will get you up at 5 a.m. or give you the energy to work late and on weekends and forever question yourself for just about anything and everything. It has been suggested by leading entrepreneurial experts that to be successful, we must work

Entrepreneurial Spirit JOEL YOUNG longer and harder, to be ready to practice the 40 plus formula—40 hours per week for survival and everything over 40 hours is toward your success. Can you handle that theory? Simply put, if you have chosen to move forward with a business idea that ignites your ‘inner flame,’ then congratulations for you are on the way. An important step that aspiring entrepreneurs, even existing entrepreneurs, is to prepare a formal business plan. While the entrepreneur may be challenged for time while the venture itself is being developed, there are a number of reasons to make the time to develop that business plan. A thoroughly prepared business plan may provide the necessary direction by encouraging the entrepreneur to evaluate

where he or she may wish to take their newfound venture and define the desired objective of its implementation. A business plan provides a structure, a road map as I like to call it, to an entrepreneur’s thinking process, making certain the most important determinants for entrepreneurial success have been taken into account. It provides some foresight thought about the future and can assist in developing a response to any competition that might be faced in the marketplace. And finally, an aspect that to me is critically important and formed the genesis of this article for you this week, a business plan will aid the communication of the essentials of the entrepreneurial venture, not only to investors but also to existing employees (if any), potential employees, suppliers and customers/clients. Let’s face it, a carefully

crafted business plan can be used to elicit the reactions and recommendations of others to aid and inspire you to greatness along the path for your entrepreneurial dream machine, so take advantage of that aid power. Let’s agree that authoring your new venture creation business plan is one of the most important things you will do in the entrepreneurial world. Yes, the importance of such preparation has been debated over and over. And yes, I have personally met and befriended millionaires who did not originate their entrepreneurial journey with a business plan and still achieved phenomenal success. But they do possess one today to maintain, enhance and teach others that success is geared to proper effective planning. While writing the business plan, you may uncover new information about your potential customers that may lead to a new product or

service. This occurrence is not uncommon. You will also learn very important information about the apparent trends in your industry area. A Google search on “Business Plan“ templates may give you a result of 1,290,000 options. If this seems

overwhelming, then attending a workshop may be the right answer for you through the resources available to you in the Okanagan, such as Community Futures, the Women’s Enterprise Centre, the Business Development Bank or local chambers of commerce. Linking up

with our Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society at www.ovesociety.org won’t hurt, either. Banks, investors, customers and your families will love you to pieces when you present a ‘work of art’ business plan to inspire your own entrepreneurial spirit. eagleyoung@shaw.ca

HOT CARS AND HOT CANINES

Addressing a dangerous mix Temperatures in vehicles can rise rapidly in warm, sunny weather and quickly become hot enough to seriously impair a dog’s or other pet’s health. In as little as 20 minutes, it can be a matter of life or death, and also result in charges under B.C.’s Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. Careless owners who expose pets to excessive heat and/or deprive them of adequate ventilation can be charged under the B.C. government’s Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. The act carries the toughest penalties in Canada, with maximum penalties of $75,000 fines and two- year imprisonment. The act also provides authority to SPCA officers to enter locked vehicles to relieve animals from critical distress. Local MLA Norm Letnick said the

provincial government has concluded these measures are not enough to stop British Columbians from putting their pets at risk by leaving them in cars. As a result, he said the government will be consulting with the BC SPCA, the B.C. College of Veterinarians, UBCM, local governments and police services to increase the options to rescue animals that have been left in cars and are suffering heat related distress. Targeted consultations will take place this summer and fall, with any changes and additional measures anticipated to be in effect by spring 2016. BC SPCA spokesperson Marcie Moriarty said the SPCA has received more than 1,200 calls about animals left in hot vehicles this summer, already higher than the approximately 1,100 calls the SPCA responded to in 2014.

Apple Triathlon president says it’s time to move on whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

A key figure in the growth of the Pushor Mitchell Apple Triathlon over the last 15 years has decided to step aside. Richard Montgomery, who took over as president of the Apple Triathlon Society in 2001, will resign from the post following the 33rd running of the annual sporting event this weekend in Kelowna. Montgomery wanted to make room for new blood and new ideas, while also devoting more time to his business. “I think we needed to keep the organization dynamic and to do that needed to bring in new people,” Montgomery said. “After 15 years, it’s time. It probably should

have been in the last five years but we wanted to make sure we had the right people in place. “There are also things I wanted to do personally, my law office is busier than it’s ever been so I wanted to devote more time to that part of my life.” The Apple has experienced tremendous growth since Montgomery and longtime race director Randy Sparrow began working together in the early 2000s. During that time, the core volunteer organizing group has increased from 12 to 52 people. As a result, the number of participants in the various events has expanded from about 350 to a minimum of 1,000 over the last several years.

For a time, until 2010 when the national championships were a main feature of the Apple, as many as 1,600 athletes competed. This year, close to 1,200 people will take part in an event that has also gained its share of international acclaim. “It’s grown so much, it’s been good for the community with the international exposure we’ve had, and the economic impact has been very positive as well,” said Montgomery. “All the spokes in the wheel have had a part in the success we’ve had and we can hold our heads up high about what we’ve been able to do over the years.” Competition manager Randy Sparrow, who has served as vice-president of the Apple in the past, said

Montgomery helped lend the event both stability and credibility. “He had good input, he was well organized and brought a different level of organization to the event,” said Sparrow. “Richard’s expertise and connections in the business world were a benefit and helped raise the profile, from just a regular sporting event to a truly international event.” Montgomery leaves the organization encouraged by how the Apple Triathlon Society has grown and evolved over the last decade and a half. But what might be most satisfying for Montgomery is the positive impact the race can have on people’s lives. “It’s been a great experience, I’ve met some

really inspiring people,” he said. “One of my favourite things to do is to go

down to the finish line, to see how happy people are with themselves, what they’ve done, hugging

family and friends. “You feel like you’ve done a pretty good job when you can send them away happy.” The Apple Triathlon Society will name its successors to Montgomery in the next several days.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED…

As always, the Apple Triathlon Society is looking for volunteers for this weekend’s series of races. For more information, visit appletriathlon.com/ volunteers. All volunteers will be invited to an appreciation party following the event.

Art show enables artists to tell their stories about dying and grief We all will die, yet the words death, dying, and died are spoken in hushed whispers, if they are spoken at all. The Central Okanagan Hospice Association (COHA) believes that creating spaces where people can talk about death will reduce stigma and fear around dying, which is inevitable for us all. To start the conversation, COHA invited artists to participate in Expressions of Death: Dying, grief and life after, a group art show that will be held at the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art from

Sept. 3 to 19. More than 20 artists will participate in the group show as the artwork was selected by a jury of COHA volunteers along with local artists Alex Fong, Laurie Koss and Jolene Mackie. The public is invited to attend the Expressions of Death opening reception on Thursday, Sept. 3, from 7 to 9 p.m., at the Alternator inside the Rotary Centre of the Arts, 103-421 Cawston Ave. in Kelowna. “Many people express discomfort around the topics of death and grief. Expressions of Death will show the beauty and

artistry of these often taboo subjects,” said COHA executive director Susan Steen. The art exhibit evolved out of the fearlessness of artists to put their own thoughts and stories of dying and grief onto canvas, into sculpture and in glass. “I began to imagine how to bring the conversation of living until death to Kelowna, and the amazing community of artists in the Central Okanagan came to mind as a group willing to explore this topic,” said Karen Kuchta, associate director of education for the COHA.

Simply put, Shane Beatty’s primary goal this season was to assemble a championship calibre football team. Nearly half way into the 2015 B.C. Football Conference campaign, the evidence would strongly suggest the Okanagan Sun head coach is realizing that ambition. The Sun has been a convincing winner in each of its four starts this summer, outscoring the opposition 201-23 in the process. In the club’s biggest test yet—and despite a slow start—the Sun bettered the defending champion Langley Rams 32-13 on Saturday night at the Apple Bowl. The home side not only gained revenge for last fall’s loss to the Rams in the BCFC final, but further cemented their coach’s belief that Sun would be a force to be reckoned with in 2015. “It’s been very promising on both sides of the ball, the guys are playing well and they’re proving to be very resilient,” Beatty said. “We were down (to Langley) 6-3 at the half, but the guys didn’t panic, we made adjustments and played a great second half. “Our kids really got

after it in the second half, I’m proud of them and proud of the coaches.” Under the direction of quarterback Josiah Joseph, the Sun took over the game in the third quarter erupting for 21 points. Dillon Fortune scored two of his three majors in the quarter, while Joseph connected with Lerone Robinson and on 18-yard pass for a TD to give the Sun full control of the proceedings on Saturday. “Josiah (Joseph) really performed well, he gave us a boost and gave some real nice flow to the offense in the second half,” Beatty said. “We didn’t play extremely well on either side of the ball in the first half, but we were really good on both sides in the second.” Beatty said if not for five turnovers by the Sun, including four fumbles, the result could have been even more lopsided. The Sun again lived up to its reputation in boasting the nation’s No. 1 defence, allowing the Rams just 149 yards in net offence and only one major score. Defensive back Beck Fullerton said aside from some minor mistakes, it was another largely stalwart outing by the Okanagan D. “We liked our effort a lot, it was a bend but don’t break kind of game for us again,” said

Sun in charge with 4-0 start

Okanagan Sun defensive back Beck Fullerton drags down Langley’s Cecil Belanger in BCFC action Saturday night at the Apple Bowl. Fullerton, who had one of three interceptions by the Sun. “We did give up one touchdown, that came on a small mental error, but those are things we can fix.” While pretty much all is going as planned for the Sun in 2015, injuries have been creating a few challenges. Cornerback Wes Geisler is on the shelf for five weeks with a shoulder injury, while the offensive line continues to

nurse more than its share of bumps and bruises. Still, Beatty said the club’s depth has been vital in compensating for the adversity. “We’ve been short on the O-line, we lost Wes Fuhrman, but we’ve had some young guys step up and we’re really proud of them. “We’re lacking experience at the corner so we’ve moved (veteran) Matt McConnell over

there and he did a great job for us. Our depth has really helped us with injuries this season.” As for the club’s 4-0 start, Fullerton said the Sun is happy so far but knows there’s still plenty of football to play— including two games each against Langley and Vancouver Island, and one against Kamloops. “We still have a ways to go, we’ve still got some tough games to

play and we’ve got some guys injured, but we like where we’re at,” added Fullerton. “Every week, we don’t look past the next game, our goal is to go 1-0 each week and we’re sticking to that.” In a perfect world, Beatty said he would like to see his club go 10-0 during the BCFC regular season. Still, in the big picture, Beatty emphasized there is one much larger, more

important goal. “It would be nice to go unbeaten but what we really want is a national championship,” he said. “It doesn’t really matter how we get there, we may not win every game…we just want to win the right ones.” The Sun is back home this Saturday night when they take on the winless Valley Huskers (0-4). Kick off at the Apple Bowl is 7 p.m.

defeating Sweden 7-3 in Saturday’s final. Dube, one of 22 players selected by Hockey Canada for the event, was understandably thrilled with the outcome. “It was unbelievable, pretty surreal to win the gold medal at a tournament like that,” said Dube, who was playing in an international event for the first time. “Winning a championship with a maple leaf on, that’s pretty exciting.” Canada, coached by Stan Butler, went unbeaten throughout the tournament posting a 5-0 record. Dube said his country’s success came down to the staples of Canadian hockey—physical play

whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

A Western Hockey League championship and an international gold medal. It’s been a pretty productive year on the ice for 17-year-old Dillon Dube. Less than three months after hoisting the Ed Chynoweth Cup with his Kelowna Rockets teammates, Dube was singing his country’s national anthem this week as Canada claimed gold at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup in the Czech Republic. The Canadians won the annual under-18 tournament for eighth consecutive time,

and skill. “Most of the games we played, the European team weren’t used to the physical game,” said Dube, who returned to his home in Cochrane, Alta. on Sunday afternoon. “They didn’t seem to be used to the hitting and we controlled the games with physical play. We had the skill to match the other teams, too.” Dube, who played on a line with fellow Alberta and former Okanagan Rocket Tyson Jost and Plymouth Whalers’ forward Will Bitten, tallied a goal and an assistant in five games. Last year, Dube was chosen to play with Team Pacific at the World Under

17 Challenge, but had to forego the event due to an injury. Playing for his country at an international event for the first time has clearly whet his appetite for future events with Hockey Canada. “It was a pretty cool experience playing for Canada and playing in Europe for the first time,” said Dube, who is on Central Scouting’s watch list for the 2016 NHL entry draft. “Hopefully this will lead to other opportunities with the national program.” Dube is the fourth member of the Rockets in as many years to earn a gold medal with Canada at the Hlinka tournament.

Sean Bergman’s breakthrough season on the track passed through St. Therese, Que., last week where the Kelowna athlete won gold in the 2000 metre steeplechase at the Canadian Legion Youth Track and Field Championships. The OAC member finished the race in a games record time of 5:47.98. In the 3,000, Bergman placed fifth in 8:37.88. Bergman competed earlier this season at the World Youth Pan American Championships where he was the top Canadian in the steeplechase.

BERGMAN AT LEGIONS…

John Gay was very close in two races but settled for a pair of silver medals in Fort McMurray. Gay, an OAC and UBC track team member, finished second in both the 3000m and 3000m steeplechase. “These performances capped off a tremendous track season for John,” said OAC coach Pat Sima Ledding. “He was gunning for the win, he performed exceptionally and came away with two medals.” Keely Watts-Watling won a silver medal in the women’s heptathlon. Keely posted a personal best performance in the javelin with a throw of 36.09m.

Consider mood when choosing colours As you flip through the glossy pages of design magazines, there are countless images of expertly-designed homes that are decorated in a way that seems to flow seamlessly from room to room. This is because designers consider each room in terms of its relation to another and choose colours that work together in harmony. This is especially important given the popularity of open concept homes, though not everyone hires a designer or has a knack for design. In most cases, choosing

complementary paint colours can be tricky, so most homeowners end up picking one colour for an

entire floor. But if you want to bring your walls to life, consider the following when picking

colours for your home: What is the mood you want the space to reflect? Depending on whether you choose warm, neutral or cool colours, you can create a space that helps to set a particular mood. Warm tones create a space that is inviting and gives off a positive energy. Neutrals create a space that is cozy yet balanced as they complement various looks and stay relevant over time. Cool colours create a space that is relaxing and provide styling options for either an urban or coastal feel. What is your personal

sensibility—bold, balanced or subtle? To create a bold space, combine colours in the same family—such as red and pink—but separate them with a clean and crisp neutral. For a balanced space, create a single accent wall featuring a saturated colour and surround it with more neutral tones. In a subtle space, use shades that are similar in tone and intensity. For this kind of room, use accent pieces to keep it on trend and in style.

Reasons to use a mortgage broker

There are many reasons why you should use a mortgage broker. We have access to many lenders to fit your mortgage needs. We not only deal with banks but we have access to many “monoline” lenders. Mono-line lenders generally have the same terms and conditions for mortgages however do not have high overhead expenses and therefore have the ability to lend at lower mortgage rates. If you can’t fit into standard lending guidelines, we have access to alternative lenders and companies with private funding. Should you have bruised credit, are previously bankrupt or can’t prove income in the standard ways, we can help you get back into a good financial position to be able to borrow in the future under regular lending guidelines. Although the rates and terms will be higher than standard lenders and fees may be involved, the mortgage will be short term, generally one to three years, and assuming you clean your credit and/or verify income we will help you to place your mortgage with one of the “A” lenders. We are available seven days a week and we can meet at your home or at our office and will fit your time frames to ease the mortgage process. As with the major banks, we have experience in all types of mortgage financing and can offer a wide variety of products. All of the legwork is done by us and best of all—our service is free. We are paid by the lender who grants your mortgage. Not only do we lend in Kelowna, we can also arrange mortgages for the majority of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and other provinces. With regards to the terms of your mortgage—the majority of mortgages can be transferred upon renewal, “ported” to another property you are purchasing as well as being “assumed” by the purchaser of your home upon qualification. If you pay your mortgage out early, a Mono-line lender will calculate the penalty based on their “posted rate”, which is lower than other lenders. That can save you thousands of dollars in interest should you decide to pre-pay the mortgage prior to your term expiring. We endeavor to get to know your financial position so we can understand what type of mortgage is best suited to your requirements. All questions are welcome and we will answer them promptly. Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of mortgage professionals. Trish Balaberde, 250-470-8324; Darwyn Sloat, 250-718-4117 and Christine Hawkins, 250-826-2001.

SAFE STREETS Rose & Richter work Great training for continues

new drivers at KDSC

The Kelowna & District Safety Council has a new addition to its car driver training fleet. Although KDSC has been offering a variety of safety programs since 1980, it just opened its ICBC-approved Driver Training School in 2011, and since then the program has almost quadrupled in size, requiring the acquisition of a new car. “KDSC used to have a Mustang as its driver training car,” explained Tania Meyer, KDSC executive director. “Although it was very popular with teens, our program has grown to the point that we needed a car that was better-suited to all of our customer demographics, including the seniors and corporate clients whom we also serve. “So we started looking for community partners to help make the upgrade possible. We’re thrilled that Kelowna Toyota and Hemmerling Law both

stepped up with financial support so that we could upgrade to a 2015 Toyota Corolla.” John Hemmerling explained why he chose to support the nonprofit organization: “At Hemmerling Law, we see the aftermath of motor vehicle accidents and want to do our part to help reduce the number of accidents on our streets. “We see the Kelowna & District Safety Council as an excellent training facility to help drivers of cars and motorcycles become safer drivers, and we’re proud to support their efforts,” Hemmerling said. “Kelowna Toyota sells new cars every day that will be driving on our roads,” said Jack Kofoed, owner of Kelowna Toyota. “It is our hope that more of these drivers will be graduates of the driving courses offered at the Kelowna & District Safety Council.” Meyer said most of

Pedestrians and cyclists should use alternate routes and carefully obey all signs and safety personnel directions within the construction zone. Construction hours are scheduled Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. but some work may occur outside of these hours to minimize traffic delays and limit construction time. The $1.1-million investment in the Rose and Richter intersection includes full signalization, sidewalks, utilities, curb and gutter. The City of Kelowna appreciates the patience of residents, businesses and motorists. Visit kelowna.ca\roadreport to see current progress.

3 head Inequality in mental health care Get ready to raise funds G A for your pet with paws

A recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO) highlights a stark inequality in mental health care around the world. Perhaps not surprisingly, mental health care is very difficult to access in some of the world’s poorest countries. Nearly half the people in the world live in countries where there is only one psychiatrist for every 100,000 people. Comparatively, in wealthier nations it is more common to have one psychiatrist for every 2,000 people. In addition to limited available resources, there may be difficult travel conditions, extreme poverty, military conflict, or a natural disaster. It is easy to see there are many who would

reports tend to focus attention on physical needs in developing or war-torn countries, mental health needs are also great. Worldwide, about one in 10 people experience a mental illness but only one per cent of the global health workforce is treating these conditions—leaving vast numbers of people to suffer on their own. In its report, the WHO says more investment in mental health care is needed to address this inequality. Interestingly, it also recommended increased investment in richer countries like Canada. Although the ratio of psychiatrists to population is more appropriate in wealthier nations, this report suggests too many resources are being used on in-patient care while there is not enough for community care measures. This is certainly true when I look at the care available in our province. I have written several times about the difficulty many people have in accessing community services and

the lack of coordination between services. A well-resourced and coordinated approach could improve this a lot. The WHO report also stressed a need to increase resources during times of economic crisis when rates of depression and suicide tend to increase. This is not surprising since stress is a key trigger for many mental health conditions. When a person already living in an impoverished nation with very little in terms of a social safety net is in a mental health crisis, the results are often tragic for the individual, their family and community. Similarly, in wealthier nations such as ours, untreated mental illness is devastating and places a huge burden on our society. We have a long way to go before people around the world can safely access quality mental health care. We must continue to advocate for targeted and coordinated resources as well as reduced stigma surrounding these conditions.

GETTING IN HEALTHY SHAPE

NEVER TOO OLD

Apply some tried and true Computer training for anyone 50+ at the Parkinson Activity Centre weight-loss strategies

Being overweight and obese continues to be one of Canada’s leading public health concerns. Within the last 30 years the prevalence of obesity has doubled among people aged 40 to 69. Heart and stroke survey found that 62 per cent of Canadians reported intentionally losing five or more pounds over the past five years but failed to keep the weight off. Of those, 70 per cent who were overweight or obese gained all or even more weight after their weight loss efforts. Obviously, maintaining a healthy body weight is not an easy task for many. Our body weight is an important part of overall health and affects how we look, feel and move. As we age our metabolism slows, body fat increases and our body composition changes. Being overweight contributes to many health risks including hypertension, high blood pressure, diabetes from high blood sugar, and too much weight contributes to arthritis from stress on joints. It’s common knowledge that exercise, in combination with a healthy eating plan, produces the best longterm weight loss results. A good place to start is with our diet. There are 3,500 calorie in one pound. If you can create a deficit of 500 calories per day—250 from exercise and 250 fewer calories in your diet (could be as simple as eliminating your dessert) you could be losing a pound a week. Keeping a daily food journal is a very effective way of being aware of caloric intake and managing your eating habits. Combing strength training and aerobic exercise has shown the best results and weight loss as you increase your metabolism and burn more fat while you rest. The guidelines for cardiovascular exercise (walking, running, swimming, skiing etc.) are three to five times for a minimum of 30 minutes KELOWNA

Start low and slow, and always listen to your body. The mental aspect of exercise and diet is the first most important aspect of our battle for weight loss. We need to believe in ourselves and our ability to obtain our weight loss goals. Here are some ways to use positive thinking for motivation: Make it a habit to remind yourself of your health and fitness goals daily.

Knee Arthritis and Knee Injuries Successfully Treated by Shockwave Therapy

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.

DR. RYAN HARRIS Glenmore Chiropractic

Each of these injuries comes with its own set of obstacles when treating with conventional methods: tendonitis can create fibrous adhesions and scar tissue that disrupts the normal function of the muscle; arthritis erodes the cartilage, decreasing the joint space; and surgery, although often necessary, creates scar tissue on the surrounding muscle and

computer security, downloading files, word processing, file management, burning DVDs and iPad for beginners. Learning to use a computer at any age can be overwhelming but many of the seniors are well into their 70s and 80s when they begin the task of “computering.” Courses range in length from three hours, while others are six and nine hours with each session lasting three hours. In addition to in-class programs, the society has a tech support for seniors who may experience computer glitches or program errors. They can phone the Centre and one of the instructors will call them back to assist them. Seniors can also visit the Centre on the last Wednesday of the month between 12:30 and 2:30 p.m. to talk to an instructor about computers or computer issues. With Microsoft’s new operating system

Windows 10 just out, seniors can register for courses using the Windows 10 software. This fall, courses begin on Sept. 8. The Centre will hold a Course Information Day on Tuesday, Aug. 25, at the Parkinson Activity Centre. Seniors wishing to inquire about courses

for their skill level (or beginner); can do so with instructors in attendance during that time beginning at 10 a.m. They can also enrol in the fall classes at that time. Seniors wishing more information can contact the Parkinson Activity Centre at 250-762-4108.

Achilles tendinitis actually a breakdown of the tendon’s structure The Achilles tendon is the strongest tendon in the body, connecting the calf muscles to their insertion on the heel bone, or calcaneus. Achilles tendinitis is a common overuse injury in sport. It can be a killjoy— it affects walking, hiking and many sporting activities. Pain in the rear foot can arise from several sources—the most common site is in the mid-portion of the tendon, or at its insertion

point at the heel. Classically, the tendon becomes thickened, stiff and very tender to touch. Other conditions that can cause pain in this region are bursitis and, rarely, a neuroma in the nerve that runs along the inside of the tendon. The term “Achilles tendinitis” is somewhat misleading, “itis” meaning inflammation. Often, the tendon’s cellular make-up is degraded, and the more accurate term would

years of running (runners have a 30 times greater risk of tendinopathy), a recent change or poor choice of footwear, excessive calf tightness or calf weakness, and most commonly—a sudden increase in activity, such as speed, distance or volume of uphill running. Non-runners can develop Achilles pain— some have feet that pronate excessively.

In over-pronators, a whipping motion of the heel is created which produces strain in the mid-portion of the Achilles tendon. Your physiotherapist can provide several different treatment options for Achilles tendinopathy. These vary according to the location of the lesion and whether the condition is acute or chronic. A physiotherapy assessment is helpful to identify whether there are biomechanical factors that have contributed to the problem. It is important to rule out a partial tear—which may require a diagnostic ultrasound to determine. An eccentric heel drop program works very well with chronic tendinopathy in the mid-third of the Achilles tendon. This is a

graded exercise protocol. The heel is lowered over the edge of a step repeatedly, one set with the knee flexed, another with the knee straight. The volume of repetitions and speed are increased over time, generally six to eight weeks. Therapeutic ultrasound, and friction massage, performed by your physiotherapist, can help. Both provide an increase in the volume of collagen, an important component of tendon tissue. If tight areas in the calf muscles are found, massage, acupuncture and soft tissue release can help. Other issues in the rearfoot, such as a stiff subtalar joint (just above the heel) can be mobilized to help improve shock absorption. In some cases,

a temporary slight heel lift can provide short-term relief. Kinesiotape, a oneway stretch tape applied along the tendon and margins of the calf muscle often provides immediate reduction in pain as the tendon is repairing. Relative rest and a change in training patterns for runners is critical in many cases to allow the cells in the tendon to repair and regenerate. In cases where the tendon problems don’t respond to conservative therapy, there are other medical options available.

Sexy health includes knowing your HIV status: Don’t hesitate

Are you heading to the beach for the day, camping for the weekend or having the neighbours over for a barbeque? Grab some local seasonal produce to enjoy along with your summertime fun. There are so many great reasons to eat locally grown foods, but my favourite, by far, is the flavour. Produce fresh from your garden, a farm stand, or a farmer’s market is picked at the peak of ripeness and is brimming with flavours that make summertime so special. It’s a bonus that local foods are better for the environment, keep our hard earned money in the community, and are more nutritious than foods that come from afar. For me, summer is a time for: • Fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and a mint leaf bobbing in a tall glass of sparkling water, sipped by the lake • A colourful parfait layered with yogurt, whole grain cereal, and freshly picked huckleberries enjoyed while sitting on the patio • A big leafy green salad loaded with spinach, kale, tomatoes, broccoli, cucumbers, and shredded beets carried next door and paired with the entrée on your neighbour’s grill • Crunchy ears of corn with fresh dill from a food truck, bright red juicy cherries from the Farmers’ Market • Tomatoes and herbs from a Community Garden tossed on a whole-wheat pizza and cooked in an outdoor oven • A homemade fresh fruit Popsicle enjoyed by a child after an afternoon of running through the sprinkler • Watermelon sliced and slurped while sitting at a picnic table surrounded by trees • Celery stalks dipped into fresh salsa made with tomatoes, cilantro, garlic, chili peppers, onions, and passed around the campfire Check out what’s in season now at bcfarmersmarket. org. Let the sights, sounds, smells, and flavours of summer tempt your senses. Cindy Bossio is a community nutritionist with Interior Health.

Four students from the Central and North Okanagan have received a major boost to their education funds after receiving Valley First Education Awards for demonstrating outstanding school and community involvement. Kyle Jansen, Riley Whittaker, Tiana Monaghan and Stephanie Turner will each receive $2,000 to help fund their postsecondary education. Jansen is from Vernon and plans to attend UBCO and study either science or engineering. Whittaker hails from Kelowna and is off to UBC in Vancouver to study engineering in the fall.

Monaghan is also from Kelowna but will stick closer to home as she pursues a nursing degree from UBCO. Turner will be continuing her studies at UBCO in psychology and pursuing her dream to be an elementary school teacher. “We’ve been handing out education awards for 14 years and every year it is an honour to give back to these outstanding young members of our community,” says Susan Byrom, senior manager of community investment. “This is just one way we can recognize their contribution and encourage other young people to get involved.

“Congratulations to Kyle, Riley, Tiana, Stephanie and the rest of the recipients and best of luck as you continue your education and continue to make a difference in your local community.” Over the last 14 years, First West Credit Union’s Valley First Division has awarded approximately $300,000 in awards and scholarships in the Thompson-Okanagan Region. The awards are presented annually to qualifying secondary and post-secondary students who are members of First West Credit Union.

A generous donation of $57,000 from the Sandra Schmirler Foundation will help Kelowna General Hospital (KGH) save the lives of premature and critically ill babies. The donation was made possible by a combination of funds raised through the Sandra Schmirler Foundation Charity Golf Tournament, held June 13, 2015, and additional matching funds from the Foundation. The funds will be used to purchase three Neonatal Cardiac Respiratory Monitors for the newly redesigned Perinatal Unit at KGH, scheduled to open March 2016. Neonatal Cardiac Respiratory Monitors help safeguard the lives of fragile newborns by immediately signaling an alert when an infant is in distress—which can include heart rate and breathing problems. These devices represent one of the highest priority needs at KGH and are truly lifesavers in helping the hospital’s most vulnerable patients. The Sandra Schmirler Foundation was created in 2001 as a legacy to three-time world curling champion and Olympic gold medalist, Sandra Schmirler, in recognition and celebration of her love of family. The Foundation is a leader in caring for premature and critically ill babies through direct giving to newborn intensive care units across Canada.

More than 20,000 visitors are expected to descend on the Okanagan for the annual fall wine festival from Oct. 1 to 11. The 35th annual Fall Okanagan Wine Festival will feature more than 120 events across the valley in the midst of the busiest time of the year for B.C. wineries, the grape harvest. This year’s wine grape harvest began on Aug. 12, a record early date for picking wine grapes in the province. The early spring coupled with a hot and dry summer prompted wineries that produce sparkling wines to the unprecedented early start, three weeks ahead of the customary picking time. With one of the warmest and driest springs and summers in the Okanagan, if the good conditions continue through autumn, some local winemakers are predicting 2015 will be the vintage of the century. British Columbia wines are also hot with consumers, with the total provincial market share for BC VQA wines for the first quarter of this year up 15.78 per cent over the same period last year. “At Okanagan Crush Pad, harvest began last week on August 14 with the arrival of Chardonnay grapes from our Secrest Mountain Vineyard in Oliver,” said Christine Coletta, owner of the Okanagan Crush Pad Winery. “Allocated for our sparkling wine program, the fruit looks exceptional, some of the best that we have seen over the years. “The season has been hot and dry so we are seeing very little disease pressures which is fantastic given that all our growers are transitioning to organic farming. “It is always a bonus

This is actually something called fasciation, a not so common and not totally understood condition in plants which can happen on the flowers, stems, fruit and even the roots. It is believed to be caused by a hormonal imbalance in some cases and influence from viruses, insects or physical injury in others. Usually the resulting fasciation manifests in flat stems or flowers that appear to be several bundled together similar to a webbed foot as in ducks or geese. Fasciation literally means banded or bundled. I have seen this occur on tulips, gerbera daisies as well as willow and smoke trees. Usually when the fasciation begins higher up in the plant there is no concern other than it is interesting to see. However, if it occurs lower down the plant it can cause a grotesque result which has very little aesthetic value. Some plants are more prone to the condition than others, but it is not something that is contagious in most cases. Not all fasciation is considered undesirable;

Obituaries

Came to the end of his cancer journey, complicated by his blood disorder (myelodysplasia). Surrounded by his loving family he graduated to Heaven on August 11, 2015 at the age of 54. He is survived by the love of his life Helga and three children: Sven (Rebecca Gray) of Vancouver, Karl, Lydia, his parents Eduard and Agnes of Lake Country, his three brothers: Ron (Lori) of Calgary, Frank and David (Anita) of Lake Country, nieces and nephews: David Kolenich, Katherine (Nathan) Hind, Kendra, Jeremy and Hannah Peter, as well numerous aunts, uncles and friends. A Memorial service will held on Monday, August 24th at 11:00 am at Christ Lutheran Church – 2091 Gordon Drive with Pastor Wallace Loge officiating. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Canadian Lutheran World Relief and/or make an appointment to donate blood.

Our dear Pat passed away on August 3, 2015 at Hospice House in Kelowna, with her family by her side. Left to grieve are her husband Jack; daughter Lana (Troy); grandchildren Cassandra and Levi; sister Linda McNaught (Ed); out-of-town sisters-in-law, brother-in-law and their families: Doreen Pardue (Victoria, BC), Helen (Harold) Schmidt (Red Deer, AB), Betty Pardue (Red Deer, AB), Cheryl Pardue (Victoria, BC), and Jerry (Dianne) Pardue (Victoria, BC) as well as numerous cousins, nephews, nieces and friends. Pat was predeceased by her parents Alvin (Glenora) Payne, Jack’s parents Raymond (Lesse) Pardue, and her brother-in-law and his wife, Rae (Marge) Pardue. Pat’s childhood years were spent in Camrose, Calgary and Red Deer, Alberta. She started her chosen life-long nursing career at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton, and quickly advanced to charge nurse at Alberta School Hospital in Red Deer. Pat completed her RN degree with top marks, and was in the first graduating class of the newly founded Red Deer College. Pat also successfully completed the RN exams in Helena, Montana, which would allow her to work as an RN in the USA. Shortly after Pat and her family moved to Kelowna in 1977, she was employed at the Kelowna General Hospital for a brief period of time. Not wanting more shift work, she chose to work in family practice. She was employed at the Underhill Clinic and then at Mission Medical on Tutt Street, until her retirement in the 90’s. Pat was a vibrant, well-educated, knowledgeable, passionate individual who continued with her unselfish caring for others until she passed. She helped people from all walks of life, locally and around the world, and spent many hours volunteering and giving within the groups at Trinity Baptist Church, as well as other organizations. She was a tireless worker and enjoyed it all immensely. Pat put family and friends first. She was a happy, fun-loving individual, enjoyed by all who came to know her along her life’s journey. She loved her flower gardens, fresh-air walks, vacations, visits with family and friends, and helping others. She has left an everlasting mark and a lingering void within those who shared her life. This precious individual was called to be with her Lord far too early in life, by a very rare condition that has yet to have a cure. A celebration of Pat’s life will be held at Springfield Funeral Home on Friday, August 21st at 10 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Pat’s memory to the Canadian Amyloidosis Support Network Inc. www.thecasn.org or a charity of your choice.

With broken hearts the family of Larry W. Sexsmith advise of his passing on August 13, 2015, suddenly and unexpectedly of a heart attack at the age of 65. Larry was born in Vegreville, AB. June 22, 1950 and grew up (or so he claimed) in Australia and Calgary. A well respected business man in Kelowna for 35 years, Larry made his mark in the Insulation and Restaurant industries. Larry’s vision was the driving force behind the success of Rose’s and he was instrumental in elevating it to the iconic landmark it is today. Larry is survived by his sons Paul (Isaac), Adam (Fiona, Jacob, Ella, Elijah), Mike (Austin, Josh); sisters Pat (Marv), Linda (Bill; Ryan, Kira, Tyler, Chloe; Erin, Donovan, Stephen), Barb (Brianne, Kevin, Ruby, Christian) and Sandy; and friend Tammy Clarke (Cassie, Skylar, Peyton and Alex). Larry had many great friends and a large “extended family”. He was a man of his word; loyal and always ready to lend a helping hand, as he did for so many of us, many times. Larry lived life on his terms. He was “larger than life”! Larry Wayne will be greatly missed. Remember forever….forget you never. In lieu of flowers Larry would have loved donations be made in his honour to the Daniel Olesen Memorial Fund set up in memory of his nephew via the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation; www.childrenshospital.ab.ca.

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!

TOLL FREE ANIMAL CRUELTY HOTLINE 1-855-622-7722 (BC SPCA) The call centre is open 7 days a week from 8am - 7:30pm. If there is an animal emergency outside of these hours, please contact your local SPCA.

If you see a dog in a car on a hot day that you believe may be in trouble, call your local SPCA, animal shelter, or police immediately.

Fudge is a beautiful tortoiseshell girl who is waiting patiently for her forever family to come and fall in love with her and take her home so she can be a couch purr-tatoe. She is calm, willing to be groomed and fussed over, is house trained and OK with other cats. Please come down and spend some time getting to know her.

JUDI ID#376329

Judi had somehow wandered away from her previous home, but luckily she was found and brought to the shelter. She will need a new guardian that has lots of experience with reptiles and done their research regarding her specific needs and requirements. Judi has not had a lot of human contact and is more of a ‘hands-off’ type girl right now, but with slow, gentle socialization she could come out of her shell and accept being handled for short periods of time. If you would like to know more please ask the staff.
