This wandering bear had the attention of Kelowna RCMP and conservation officers last Saturday after making its way from the Knox Mountain area to downtown Kelowna, before climbing up this tree in a Richter Street yard. The black bear was about a year old and weighed about 70 pounds. It was eventually tranquilized and fell from the tree, to be assessed by COs as to whether the bruin could be relocated or euthanized.

Kelowna city council is getting fed up having to deal with the issue of permanent housing on farm land in Kelowna for temporary farm workers. That’s because it has no jurisdiction over the

issue and must defer to the province’s Agricultural Land Commission. And the ALC has said permanent farmworker housing is not allowed on land in the Agricultural Land Reserve. But that has not stopped farmers from going to city hall seeking

News MANSLAUGHTER CONVICTION

Victim’s brother feels justice not served Central Okanagan MP wants Crown to appeal manslaughter sentence

Kathy Michaels Slain Kelowna resident Caesar Rosales was let down by the courts this week, says his brother. His killer, Tyler Jack Newton, 25, learned Friday that he will serve 4 1/2 more years behind bars for fatally stabbing Rosales in the neck Oct. 31, 2014, as he rode a city bus. The total sentence is seven years, but Newton will receive time and a half credit for the 602 days he’s already been imprisoned. “I came here, halfway across the world, to seek justice and restitution for the murder of my brother and I will go back holding the bag,” said Darwin Rosales, who travelled to Canada from the Philippines for the hearing. “Adding insult to injury, the killer walks away a free man in such a short period of time.” Rosales pointed out that court sentences are getting weaker, and he wouldn’t be surprised that if in the not so distant future,“ a slap on the hand could be the penalty for murder.” Newton pleaded guilty to manslaughter this week, a lesser charge from second degree murder, which he was initially charged with. Crown counsel Colin Forsyth didn’t feel there was enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Newton intended to kill Rosales when he stabbed him in the neck—intent being the difference between manslaughter and murder. He argued, however, that the crime was a “near murder” and that a 10-year prison term should be applied. Defence lawyer Jordan

BARRYGERDING/CAPITAL NEWS

Darwin Rosales speaks outside the Kelowna courthouse last week during the manslaughter sentence hearing concerning his brother Caesar Rosales, who was killed on a Kelowna transit bus in October 2014. Watt said that cases where victims are stabbed multiple times, and in more horrific style, are more fitting a 10-year sentence and asked that Newton be sentenced to something in the area of four to six years. Supreme Court Justice Heather Holmes split the difference and landed on a sentence of seven years, with a DNA order and a firearm ban on Newton. While Newton’s fatal stab had grave consequences, she added, it wasn’t a complex act that required planning or forethought and she noted it lacked brutality of other killings that resulted in lengthier sentences. The discussion on whether multiple wounds are worse than a stab in the neck didn’t sit well with Rosales. “Between dead and alive…it’s like comparing heaven and hell,” he said. “But (there are) not shades of grey for multiple stabbings and single stabbings if they

are both fatal.” Rosales also pointed out that he believed Newton wanted to kill his brother, having likely seen him on the public transit route before. He also didn’t believe that Newton was remorseful, despite Justice Holmes’s assertions that he was. “When the convicted killer asked for forgiveness he didn’t maintain eye contact… he stressed the fact he just wanted to get his life back,” said Rosales. “My brother can’t be put back to life…he took a generation of my brother’s life, while he will walk away free in four years.” Newton told the court he intends to complete Grade 12 equivalence and take some drug counselling while he’s incarcerated. He has a criminal record 50-convictions long and was drugged out and hallucinating on the day he killed Rosales. The court heard that he

was in a violent mindset Oct. 30, 2014 when he made an unexpected visit to a friend’s house, driving a stolen truck in the early hours of the day. At the time he was carrying a number of personal items, including a knife sheathed in a plastic bag. Uncomfortable with having a stolen truck in her yard, Newton’s friend convinced him to drop the truck off at a parking lot in the nearby Shell gas station. He did just that, and as the day wore on the friend, who was at home with her two kids, ages 5 and 7, was increasingly uneasy with his actions, which at one point included holding a knife at one of her children. She then convinced him that she and her kids were going to Orchard Park Mall on the bus to meet a friend, and that he should come with them and then transfer to another bus to see his girlfriend.

An Okanagan MP Ottawa can be changed, has taken issue with the something that our sentence handed to Caesar former government in Rosales’s killer and he’s Ottawa tried frequently asking Crown counsel to to do in the last immediately appeal the Parliament,” he said. decision.

They reached the mall and eventually parted ways, as Newton boarded the No. 8 bus at the shopping centre loop to see his girlfriend, who lived on Hein Road. Rosales had the misfortune of being on that bus, as he often was. While the bus was stopped at the Leckie and Baron Road stop, Newton was seen switching seats, placing himself directly behind Rosales. Then, without provocation, he stabbed Rosales in the neck, slicing his jugular vein and carotid artery.

Forsyth said nobody on the bus specifically saw Newton inflict the wound, but it became apparent something was wrong when Rosales stood up and yelled out that he had been stabbed, bleeding profusely from his neck. Meanwhile, after stabbing Rosales, Newton left the bus from the rear exit door, walking behind a nearby apartment building where he discarded the knife in a hedgerow. Efforts to assist Rosales before emergency

paramedics arrived at the scene proved unsuccessful due to the nature of the wound. Rosales worked in IT at Flight Craft. At the time of his killing, friends remembered him as a kind, unassuming man who had a taste for adventure. He was survived by two siblings, his adult-aged son and his mother. His mother’s health, the court heard this week, took a turn for the worse when she learned her son had died and she passed within 14 months.

Canoe capsizing leads to woman’s demise The body of a 56-year-old Lake Country woman has been recovered from the bottom of Okanagan Lake as a result of a drowning that occurred on June 26 at approximately 7:29 p.m. The BC Coroner’s Service has confirmed the identity of the drowning victim as Arlene Susan Westervelt, a resident of Lake Country. “The RCMP Dive team located the woman’s body approximately 35 metres from where she was last seen. The coroner’s service did attend the scene,” said Const. Jesse O’Donaghey, in a press release. A canoeing incident in the area of Okanagan Centre was initially reported to police last Sunday evening, near the 9300 block of Okanagan Centre Road, West. According to police, Westervelt was canoeing with a family member

approximately 100 feet off shore when their canoe tipped, spilling both occupants into the water. Witness reports stated that an older male and female were in the canoe when it capsized with only the male occupant surfacing. Police say no life jackets were seen on the couple and an extensive emergency search for Westervelt was conducted by the Kelowna RCMP and Kelowna Fire Services on Sunday, but had to be called off due to darkness. Her body was recovered the next morning. Police say the capsizing appears to be a tragic accident and no foul play is suspected at this time. RCMP remind all residents and tourists to always practice boat safety by wearing life jackets at all times when on the water.

Local stolen boat and trailer located in Abbotsford Kelowna RCMP located and recovered a stolen $150,000 boat and trailer in the Fraser Valley. On June 20 at 12:23 p.m., police received a report of a boat and trailer stolen from Banner Recreation located on McCurdy Place in Kelowna. Video surveillance of the theft showed a suspect tow the boat and trailer away from the business shortly before 9:30 a.m. “Since the theft, the Kelowna RCMP Prolific Offender Suppression Team (POST), which is part of the Street Enforcement Unit (SEU), hit the streets, worked extensively to develop leads

The boat, which appeared to be undamaged or unaltered, was seized by the RCMP and turned over to a company affiliated with Banner Recreation in the Lower Mainland for arrangements to be made for its eventual return to the Okanagan.

Elise Boisvert (in foreground), accompanied by the Seaton Choir, sings Warrior, the theme song for the Angel Awards, which took place last weekend at the Creekside Theatre in Lake Country.

ANGEL AWARDS

Comfortable, with friends all around Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

When Elise Boisvert stood in front of a nearly sold-out crowd at the Creekside Theatre in Winfield on Saturday night to sing Warrior, the theme song for the fundraiser, the Lake Country teenager felt right at home, despite battling a form of arthritis that has plagued her since early childhood. The George Elliot student was surrounded by friends and family as she sang the Demi Lovato tune that was originally penned about bullying. Backed by the Seaton Choir, Boisvert belted out the song like never before, bringing many in attendance to tears. “I felt very, very comfortable,” said Boisvert on Tuesday in an interview with the Kelowna Capital News. “I looked down and saw all these people I knew and they were smiling at me and some of my teachers were there. I turned

around and all my friends were on stage. It was so nice, I felt so supported. That song relates so much to what I go through. It’s about the people that bullied her but for me, the big bully is this disease.” Boisvert, 14, was diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis at the age of four. She suffers from chronic pain, pain that never goes away, except when she is on stage singing. Her mother Louise, a former singer and dancer herself, began the Angel Awards as a talent competition and fundraiser, raising money to battle a disease that her daughter struggles with every day. Elise says the fact her mom has put on this show for her and continues to fight to find a cure, is something that she holds dear to her heart. “It means a lot, it’s really nice to know that she is there for me, to know she is right there behind me,” said Elise as emotions came into her

voice. “It’s just a really nice feeling to know how much she loves me and how she cares about me and she just wants this to go away.” Close to 200 people attended the event in Lake Country’s Creekside Theatre, the first time in the four-year history of the event that it was held in Lake Country. In past years it had been held at the Mary Irwin Theatre in kelowna but both mother and daughter said having the event in Lake Country made it even more special. “It was so well-received out here,” said Louise. “There were people in tears that came to the show and they saw Elise do Warrior and they came to me after and said they had never been so moved. This was one of the best shows. It was like an afternoon with friends and family.” Final fundraising totals are not yet available as more money will come in from sponsors and supporters but Louise said

the event will continue on as she moves forward raising money to fight the disease that Elise suffers from. “From a mom’s perspective of this warrior-kid that deals with chemo every day and nausea…she got up there and belted it out and made the audience connect with her heart. It just broke me,” she said. “From a producer’s stand-point the show was so tight, it was so high-level. I was so proud of everybody that kept it going. It was really a great experience. As exhausted as I am, I’m already planning next year. This was the fourth year and I’m hoping people start to realize I’m not giving up on this until there is a cure. Elise is my motivation to keep helping her fight.” Next year Boisvert hopes to keep the Angel Awards at the Creekside Theatre and is planning to hold the event a little earlier in the calendar year.

LONG DELAYED

Next stage of Conservatory underway Nearly 20 years after it was first proposed as the city’s tallest building, a scaled-down version of the Conservatory residential project at the corner of Glenmore Drive and Summit Drive appears ready to be completed. Kelowna city council has approved a plan to build an L-shaped four-storey building to be connected to the existing six-storey building that sits on the site. Meanwhile, construction is continuing on a small commercial plaza on adjacent land at the same

corner. The land was once part of the Conservatory’s plan. The Conservatory was slated to be a highrise condominium tower but the project fell into financial difficulties before it could get off the ground in the late 1990s. Despite multiple owners trying to resurrect the project, it wasn’t until a few years ago that the existing six-storey building was built. After sitting as a vacant site with a huge hole in the ground for many years, the project was brought back to life when the latest developer

succeeded in constructing the building. The new four-storey building, with two lower levels of underground parking, will be rental units, say city staff. Councillors cheered the plans for the development, saying it was a long time coming and would finally complete what for years was an eyesore prior to the existing building being built. Since then it has continued to appear to be an unfinished project.

news _____________________________________________________________________ OKANAGAN RAIL TRAIL

Fundraising campaign sees donor put up $50,000 A patriotic donor wanting to celebrate Canada Day has offered to match donations to the Okanagan Rail Trail fundraising campaign that are received between July 1 and July 10 up to $50,000. The Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative (ORTI) says the donor, wishing not to receive any recognition for this action, wanted to encourage others to contribute to the construction of the trail. “My donation will build just over 300 metres of trail and by working

together, we can create over 600 metres. That’s a better part of kilometre,” the donor said through the ORTI which sent out a press release on the donor’s behalf. Trail ambassador Brad Clements says it should give the fundraising campaign a good boost. “Donations have been coming in every day and the support is fantastic,” said Clements. “If we want construction to start early next spring however we will need a lot more and this just might inspire that.”

To date the campaign has received 266 individual donations that equal just less than a kilometre of construction. The entire trail is close to 50 kilometres long. Trail Ambassador Duane Thomson sees momentum building. “In the last few weeks trail ambassadors have talked with over 30 businesses, clubs and service groups that are interested in becoming campaign partners and business partners,” said Thomson. “There are also 35 trail

ambassadors getting ready to help spread the word this summer.” The goal to raise $7.86 million is a lofty, yet achievable one, according to one trail ambassador. “Campaigns of similar amounts have been raised in the Okanagan in the past and I believe our communities can rise to this occasion” said Laurie Postill. “If we all give what we can towards the trail and inspire our friends, family and coworkers to do the same, we can build our trail and enjoy this incredible

Wife faces attempted murder charge Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

The Joe Rich woman who allegedly stabbed her 70-year-old husband as he slept in their home is now being charged with attempted murder. Christine Eve Haynes, 58, was already charged with one count of aggravated assault for the April 18 attack on her husband, Kenneth Haynes. On May 31, new information provided by investigators, led to a second charge of attempted

murder, said a representative from the Criminal Justice Branch. The matter was in court Tuesday for a procedural issue. The Kelowna RCMP responded to a report of a violent family disturbance April 18, at 12:02 a.m., inside a home in the 4600 block of Highway 33 East. “The victim, a 70-year-old Kelowna man, was alert when emergency crews arrived on scene. His level of consciousness deteriorated and he was rushed to hospital with serious, however believed to be non-life threatening

injuries,” said Const. Jesse O’Donaghey, in a press release issued the day after the violent incident. “Five persons who were residing in the home at the time of the attack are being provided with RCMP Victim Services. They have been vacated from the residence, for the time being, to allow police to continue their investigation.” Christine Haynes had been subdued by family members at the time, and was taken into police custody without further incident. She was then taken to hospital for a full medical assessment.

HandyDART service expanding Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

More provincial money means more handyDART service in Kelowna. The province has announced an additional $12.7 million in funding over the next three years for customized public transit in B.C. The man in charge of regional programs at Kelowna city hall says the city’s share of the funds will translate into an extra 2,000 hours of service starting this September. Under the city’s costshare program with the province, an additional 1,500 hours could be also added if Kelowna council approves the spending in its 2017 budget deliberations slated for this December.

Jerry Dombowski, Kelowna’s regional programs manager, said the new hours will add to the 35,000 hours per year already provided by handyDART. He also said the city is currently working on a new registration process for those who can use handyDART, one that will change criteria for its use. The changes, however, will not affect those already registered to use handyDART, he said. “They will be grandfathered in,” said Dombowski. On Monday in his report to council, Dombowski said the city is targeting use of handyDART “more effectively” with the changes in registration criteria.

Kelowna is the fourth community in the province to sign on as a cost-share partner for handyDART in B.C., a move Mayor Colin Basran said will provide a better quality of life for many seniors. According to Dowbowski, overall the Kelowna Regional Transit system is doing well with its cost recovery jumping 1.7 per cent to 33 per cent between 2012 and last year. He said reasons for the jump include overall city growth, increases in student registrations at UBC Okanagan and Okanagan College and the higher cost of School District 23 busing. The system also saw a fare increase last year, the first in several years.

Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson said he has been hearing from local seniors groups and groups advocating on behalf of the disabled here that more handyDART service is needed. “This is something we have been hearing strongly, so (KelownaLake Country MLA) Norm (Letnick) and I have been lobbying for this,” he said, also praising the city for partnering with the province to add more service hours next year. In addition to the extra hours for handyDART, the conventional transit system is also slated to get more service hours, with improvements planned over the next three years on several of its busier Kelowna routes.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Misinformed voting is not democracy The facts do matter. That might be the central lesson to emerge from the fallout of the passed referendum in the United Kingdom last week to pull out of the European Union. In the immediate aftermath of the vote, some antiEU campaign proponents began retracting their statements during the referendum campaign about how such a move would benefit the British people. As we have become numbed from listening to the United States political rhetoric, gaining the popular vote doesn’t always equate with talking the facts, but rather weighing in on emotions fueled by fear, optimism or both. But at the British vote is likely to exemplify in the weeks and months ahead, the facts do matter when dealing with disillusionment and a want for change. The destructive impact of the vote has been readily apparent—Prime Minister David Cameron announced his resignation, the opposition Labour Party leader will be forced out, world financial markets are speculating in a downward turn, reducing the freedom of movement for Brits is going to impact their individual career futures for the younger generation, Scotland may refuse legislative consent to drop EU law leaving its current status within the UK unclear and the overall complexities of negotiating out of the EU will be a logistical nightmare. It was ironic to see Donald Trump show up at one of his golf courses in Scotland when the votes were counted. While pretty much clueless about the semantics of what the Brexit vote meant, he remains a symbol of how a populist candidate in his own country has successfully tapped into the fears and frustrations of his party members while ignoring the facts. He is a symbol of change with no clear direction for how that change will play out, telling voters to essentially ignore the facts and just believe in him, a gambit that has worked for him in the Republican party’s primary campaign, but might prove more difficult through a national election—that is, if the facts truly matter. In the United Kingdom, voters are now waking up to that reality. One wonders if Americans will do the same after their November presidential election.

Waiting for gov’t to do the right thing If money talks, the federal government City has been sent a Confidential loud message from those upset about ALISTAIR limitations in the WATERS new federal law that allows medically assisted dying for those suffering in pain from a terminal illness. In just six hours, the B.C. Civil Liberties Association, which is challenging the law because it restricts those who can seek assisted dying to only those with a terminal illness, raised the entire amount it figures it will need to start fighting the new law through the courts. The BCCLA was behind the successful appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada last year that won the right for medically assisted dying . But, for many, the law did not go far enough when the Liberals finally drafted it—something the former Conservative government shamefully refused to do during its last year in power despite an order by the country’s top court to do so. So the BCCLA is heading back to court to try and have the new law include those who are suffering, those who know they will get worse but whose deaths are not immanent. One of the two women who fought to give Canadians the right to medically assisted deaths was West Kelowna’s Gloria Taylor. An ALS sufferer, she died before the law she fought for came into effect. But given her comments before her death, it’s clear

she would want other Canadians who are suffering to be allowed to determine the time of their deaths rather than be left with an uncertain future when pain is all they have to look forward to in their last years. Credit needs to go to the Liberals for acting where the Conservatives refused to. But the law they drafted falls short—despite prior recommendations that they include what is now being sought in the new law. It’s sad that it will take another court case—or series of cases—to win the same right for those who want to die with dignity but whose death is not deemed immanent. The sick and suffering have already won the right to die in Canada’s Supreme Court, so it’s sad they have to fight once again. The woman at the heart of the new case is Julia Lamb, a 25-year-old suffering from spinal muscular atrophy, a progressive neurodegenerative disease with no known cure. She will not die from her illness right away but suffers in pain everyday and knows that it will only get worse. She wants, and deserves, the right to plan for her death sometime in the future. But the new federal law won’t allow her to do that. Lamb wants peace of mind knowing if her suffering becomes intolerable, she will have the right to seek a medically-assisted death. Giving her—and other Canadians in similar circumstances— that right is simply the right thing to do.

SAVE THE FINTRY QUEEN

Men’s

Fintry Queen part of Okanagan’s history

To the editor: I have been reviewing and updating my many photo albums and news clippings. What a wonderful way to remember good times and good friends. I notice how often I see The Fintry Queen. We are on a cruise with American visitors, nearby friends and family. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon on our beautiful Okanangan Lake. Apparently The Fintry Queen also had evening cruises and dinners. Such a unique way to spend our summers. Now I have just finished reading a story

about Dun-Waters and the Fintry Delta. [Captain James Cameron Dun-Waters (1864 to 1939) the ‘Laird of Fintry,’ See fintry.ca/ history-of-fintry/] What a fascinating history. The Fintry Queen was highly featured. I dare say the young people who now make decisions regarding the fate of this historical jewel have no idea of its historical value. I hope they can set aside their monetary concerns about The Fintry Queen. They should do all they can to encourage the owner to complete plans for future cruises. Water traffic was essential to the pioneers

who developed business in our Valley. The three ferries were an essential life-line to connect Kelowna to the Westside. This last remaining ferry should not be considered for the scrap heap. It should be given every opportunity to sail again. Some of the many wine tours may even be enhanced by water transport. There must be many opportunities to make The Fintry Queen a true Jewel on our Lake.

hall and the $100,000+ salary club might just be “It’s 2016…where are the women?” Val Jenner, Kelowna

WATERFRONT ACCESS

Air Conditioning Service from $95.00

Lake homeowners holds foreshore rights To the editor: It appears that a particular member of our community is anxious to promote unlawful occupation of private lakeshore on the basis of a self-declaration that it somehow “belongs to all of us.” The next logical step is to encourage the homeless to take up residence on our front sidewalks and lawns. Contrary to a recent vitriolic letter to the editor [Kelowna Shoreline Available To All, June 22 Kelowna Capital News], lakeshore owners do have foreshore rights, unless those rights have been purchased or legally expropriated for public purpose, Such rights are basic to a strong community. Unlike a totalitarian or communistic society, our values are essentially based upon private ownership.. Unfortunately, the published comments of Mr. Janusas are misinformed and inflammatory. Inciting people to trespass over the property of others reflects ‘green eyed envy, ‘ pitting the have notsagainst the haves, and neighbour against neighbour.

What is the law as to public access to foreshore within our city limits? The truth is that the law is, at best, muddled, uncertain and unenforceable. Older laws were based upon tidal waters and shorelines subject to seasonal flows governed by natural forces. Now, ‘high’ and ‘low’ water marks are no longer identifiable. Okanagan Lake is not tidal water. With controlling locks at both ends, it is subject to man-made interference of natural flow. Manipulation of water volumes to fulfill downstream treaties has made demarcation of ‘high’ or ‘low’ shoreline water margins meaningless. Under a dictatorial government, the simple answer would be to open the locks, and drain the entire lake to expose an extra 20 foot public walkway area around the entire lake. But, so much for individual rights! Hopefully, with a better understanding of values and greater mutual respect as to property rights, we can work together on this

WEST KELOWNA

Delays to proposed WK city hall will cost us all money To the editor: As long term residents, we are very disappointed in the second guessing that is taking place to delay the approval of a new City Hall and Civic Centre in West Kelowna. As seniors, we know that we have a great deal to offer to the community and it is distressing to see Mr. Graham and his supporters delay the process and add unnecessary costs to the process. I think we can all agree that we desperately need a new City Hall and that a new Civic Centre can only benefit the families in our community. However, for reasons of “principle,” Mr. Graham and his supporters have now delayed

the process by requiring a referendum that is going to cost in excess of $40,000 and further delay this worthwhile project. In our view, this referendum will be a complete waste of taxpayer funds and we fully expect the next complaint from Mr. Graham and his supporters will be about taxes going up! Let’s agree that we need to move forward to improve our community and stop delaying approval unnecessarily. We voted for our council, let’s let them do the job that we put them in office to do. Andrew Barker, West Kelowna

problem of public need and individual rights. It should be recognized that our city has already undertaken some positive action in this matter. Following the initiating leadership of mayors Shepherd and Gray, a commendable ‘buy back’ of shoreline properties has been set in motion for some time now. Fair prices are negotiated under voluntary sales. Such purchases have facilitated public park extensions. Some have been subdivided for re-sale, with the city keeping the shoreline portion to facilitate public access. While opposed to trespass, I do not make light of the need for more public access to our lake. There is particularly a need for more lakeshore parks. But, please, let’s be good neighbours. Let’s promote a plan of lawful and fair acquisition. Let’s maintain clear respect and protection of private property rights. Ian R. Sisett, Kelowna

news _____________________________________________________________________ SKILLS CANADA COMPETITION

Zach Andrews has added another medal to a growing collection of accolades after returning from the Skills Canada Competition in Moncton, NB, with a gold medal in electronics. The 31-year-old qualified for the Canadawide competition after winning gold for B.C. in April at the provincial challenge in Abbotsford. He was joined by fellow Okanagan College student Aaron Schmidt, who also earned gold at the provincial competition and finished second in the country in the automotive service category. Making the trip to compete in Moncton meant Andrews had to pass up the opportunity to attend his OC Convocation ceremony; he completed the two-year Electronic Engineering Technology Diploma program in May. However, Andrews had

already experienced the satisfaction of graduating from the college when he completed the electrical program and earned his Red Seal designation in 2009. “I started the electrical program at the college in 2005 and worked my way through all of my apprenticeship levels,” explained Andrews. “When I became a journeyperson in 2009, I decided to focus on saving money for more schooling, as I knew I wasn’t done learning. “In 2014, after a decade of employment as an electrician, I enrolled in the electronic engineering program and have now finished my second credential at Okanagan College.” When Andrews was asked to consider competing at the provincial Skills BC challenge, he wasn’t sure what to expect.

“I was pretty surprised to win the competition,” he said. “I thought I had done a good job but it was exciting to learn I was the best in the province.” Andrews drew on his experience from Skills BC at the national competition but was slightly less confident about the outcome. “The national competition was much longer and covered all aspects of the technical skills we learn in the program—and if you ask anyone who has taken electronic engineering, it is not an easy program,” he said. “I was shocked at how I was able to draw on concepts and techniques I had learned in first-year. “It was incredible, everything from circuit theory and design and fabrication to soldering and programming microcontrollers.

Two-time OC grad wins electronics gold

Zachary Andrews (centre) stands on the gold medal podium for the electronics category at the recent Skills Canada Competition held in Moncton, NB. “I think I was the only person to complete the soldering task and have the circuit fully functional. “I was completely taken by surprise when I found out I won. I thought the other competitors from across the country were doing really well. “I was pleased to win and I think the education I received throughout

the program combined with my knowledge as an electrician really set me up for success. I worked really hard, and in this case putting in the work paid off.” Now that he can consider himself as the most skilled graduate in electronics in the country, you might think Andrews’ next step would be to focus on working.

alternatives, but it’s a phenomenon isolated to only Ontario and B.C., Cooper says. The overall Canadian economy is still struggling to recover from the decline in oil prices. Cooper says that’s the reason the Bank of Canada will keep interest rates low. “The economy is still underperforming and the Bank of Canada is likely not going to be raising interest rates this year.” The issue on everybody’s mind now, she says, is housing affordability in both Toronto and Vancouver, where some panic buying in the wake of the rising inflow of foreign capital has pushed prices further up.

Sherry Cooper: Homeowners Should Be Mindful of Changes in the Market By Gordon Hamilton An expected increase in U.S. interest rates may not be repeated in Canada this year says Sherry Cooper, chief economist for Dominion Lending Centres. Another year of low interest rates means homeowners can defer worries about escalating mortgage payments, but even when rates do start to climb, Cooper expects the increases will be moderate and gradual. Where homeowners should be evaluating risks, she says, is over the dramatic jump in real estate prices in Vancouver and Toronto, where foreign investment has been a factor driving the markets. Cooper believes there are real risks to home equity if that investment pipeline is closed, even partially. In those red-hot markets, some buyers are bidding above the asking price in emotionally loaded bidding wars. “Do these kinds of things typically end well? Usually not,” she says of the trend. Real estate prices in cities within proximity to Toronto and Vancouver are also going up, as homebuyers seek more affordable

The exodus of buyers to other B.C. and Ontario locations in search of affordable housing has driven up prices there as well. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. warns in its most recent report on the Hamilton-Burlington region, for example, that there is evidence of overheating as Torontonians are moving further afield. Prices, according to one indicator tracked by CMHC, were up 8.8 per cent in 2015 and continue to be under substantial upward pressure. Similarly in BC, prices are rising in regions around Vancouver as well as in Victoria. For example, house prices in Victoria are reported to have risen a whopping 19 per cent year-over-year in May. Even with interest rates at generational low levels, homeowners with high household debt relative to their income are heavily exposed to the risk of rising interest rates, a potential future market correction, not to mention a slowdown in economic activity that might jeopardize their ability to make mortgage payments, Cooper says. A housing correction in these red-hot markets could cause a sudden drop in home prices, which could be devastating when it comes time to renew mortgages, regardless of interest rates. “That’s where the real risks are,” she says. “That’s where getting advice from financial planners and an accredited mortgage professional becomes really important.” So far, affordability is only a major issue in Vancouver,

While he is spending the summer working as an electrician, he hasn’t yet completed all of his educational goals. Andrews is enrolled in Okanagan College’s Electronic Engineering Technology Bridge to the UBC Okanagan Electrical Engineering program, which builds on the twoyear diploma program to prepare graduates

for entry mid-way into UBC Okanagan’s degree program. “I know I could get a job today in my field and having credentials in both the electrical trades and technologies sets me apart but I’m focused on continuing my education. “I think it’s a good investment and will open a lot of doors in the future.”

Toronto and their neighbouring regions. Prices in other parts of the country, Cooper says, are not rising as rapidly, while provinces affected by the drop in oil prices – Alberta, Newfoundland and western Saskatchewan, are experiencing house price declines. Ottawa, where sales are keeping pace with the housing supply, is showing no signs of either rapidly escalating prices or a migration of homebuyers to the suburbs. In Montreal, the housing supply remains high, keeping prices from escalating, while in the Halifax region, average prices varied by housing type and sub-region. Prices are up in Halifax City, but down in neighbouring Dartmouth. But returning back to the whole country, roughly 70 per cent of Canadian households own their own home, says Cooper, and by far the majority enjoys a sufficient equity cushion to withstand a temporary correction.

OK Sunshine by artist Heidi Thompson at the Kelowna International Airport.

KYLE POIRIER/CONTRIBUTOR

Artist brings the light to Kelowna airport installation The current installation of art placed by the Kelowna Art Gallery at our satellite space at the Kelowna International Airport is a suite of five paintings by Coldstreambased artist Heidi Thompson. Titled OK Sunshine, the piece is intended to embody the feeling and quality of the spectacular light we enjoy in the Okanagan. The panels are each seven feet tall. Each one is predominantly but not exclusively yellow in

On View LIZ WYLIE colour, and they are abstract in that nothing else is represented in the works. But they are not empty; they are rich and full, brimming over with exuberance, life—and light. Be sure to check out the edges of Thompson’s canvases that are covered

in thick drips of all sorts of colours of paint—they are the kind of give away or footsteps of her working process, which involved many layers of paint. The notion of portraying light—either white or coloured—in art has a long lineage. It has also long been a metaphor in art for knowledge and for illumination, whether of an intellectual or spiritual nature. Ancient fresco painting did not lend itself well to depicting light as it was such a matte medium, but once oil-on-panel painting developed in Europe in the late Middle Ages, artists were off to the races, and used real gold leaf to reflect light, usually in the area of halos, for example, where it was intended to represent holiness. Similarly monks in monasteries created medieval book illuminations and used gold leaf to the same end. Also in the medieval period in Europe as the craft and design of cathedrals evolved, larger and larger wall areas could be given over to stained glass, with its symbolism of divine light and the notion that worshipers could be morally elevated through its contemplation. In more recent periods of art history some artists have made the study of light and its effects the major focus of their work. The Dutch master Vermeer comes to mind, as do the etchings of Rembrandt, the paintings of JMW Turner, and in the 20th century, the

American painter Edward Hopper. Beginning in the late 1940s the abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko limited his compositional means to floating bars of colour, meant to be viewed in low light settings so that illumination seemed to emanate from his canvases. And with the advent of new technologies, light became a medium for contemporary artists working with neon tubing for example, or in the hands of artist James Turrell, working with actual sunlight, and how it transforms a space. It is also interesting to consider the meanings of the word light, which can be just everyday light, or can refer to knowledge, ideas and spiritual states. We talk about coming into the light, about having finally seen the light, shedding light on a topic, all referring to knowledge and intelligence. Once viewers pass by Thompson’s paintings and through security, perhaps they will be nudged to muse upon some of these notions. Thompson was born in Vernon and has been living in Coldstream since 1982, where she has worked as an art educator and illustrator. She was trained in Europe in the 1970s and ‘80s as a painter. Thompson is the editor of the award-winning book Recapitulation: A Journey, by Sveva Caetani, who was also a Vernon-based artist. Thompson’s installation OK Sunshine will be up at the Kelowna airport until Nov. 7.

Men in smaller cities appear reluctant to test for HIV sexual preferences at a doctor’s office. “This study shows that a lack of feeling accepted appears to not only pose mental health risks, it poses physical health risks,” said Susan Holtzman, associate professor of psychology. “The fact that these men are reluctant to tell their doctor about their sexuality is something that requires attention in our healthcare system if we hope to increase the number of people tested for HIV.” Holtzman’s study,

Successful treatment raises other issues Maja Karlsson Contributor

I recently attended a talk given by Dr. Julio Montaner, one of B.C.’s experts on HIV. He mentioned that one of his patients had recently passed away. I’m sure most of the people in the room were surprised to hear his description of the patient—a 92-year old man who passed away in his sleep. His HIV had nothing to do with his death. HIV treatment has become simpler, more effective and better tolerated, which has led to major improvements in health outcomes. Because the medications work to decrease the amount of virus in the blood and body fluids, people are healthier and more able to do the things they want to do. In addition to extending life expectancy, the medications make it less likely that people will transmit the virus to others. Dr. Montaner and our Interior Health physicians regularly describe the “new face of HIV.” Canadians beginning HIV treatment today can expect to live into their early 70s or longer. It’s estimated that over 30 per cent of people living with HIV in Canada are now aged 50 or older, a number that is likely to increase given that between 1985 and 2012, while more than 30 per cent of new HIV diagnoses were among people over the age of 40. I remember talking with Andrew, a resident of B.C.’s Interior, one of those new faces of HIV. He has lived with the disease for 23 years and has witnessed many advances in diagnosis and treatment. While he was pleased to see how far treatment has come, he also felt more could be done for those who are aging with HIV. He said now that many older adults are outliving HIV, the focus needs to shift to quality of life, elder care, and eliminating the social stigma that divides and isolates those who are HIV positive. Now that people are living longer lives with HIV, some are experiencing health complications seen in older adults, such as cardiovascular disease, kidney disease and cancer. For many, living with HIV also means having to manage depression, social isolation, and social stigma. Fortunately, research has suggested that early diagnosis and initiation of HIV treatment can help mitigate the health complications that come with aging. To support both the physical and mental health needs that come with HIV and aging, there are now additional resources that exist across the Interior Health, including specialized nurses who can provide outreach services for clients living with HIV and who also support HIV testing initiatives across the region. If you want more information about HIV testing and treatment, visit myhealthissexy.com. Maja Karlsson is the manager of HIV and health outreach services for Interior Health.

conducted in cooperation with the Living Positive Resource Centre in Kelowna, surveyed 153 people recruited through online dating sites and events in the gay community. The study found that 24 per cent of men living in smaller communities had never had an HIV test, compared to the 14 to 17 per cent of untested

men living in large cities such as Vancouver and Toronto. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, men who have sex with men represented 53 per cent of total HIV infections in 2014, accounting for 39,630 people across the country. Holtzman’s study was recently published in the journal AIDS Care.

Men who have sex with men in small cities less likely to be tested for HIV. Men who live outside major Canadian cities and have sex with other men are less likely to get an HIV test than their metropolitan counterparts, a UBCO study shows. The study, conducted at UBC’s Okanagan campus, also shows that the lower testing rates are likely connected to internalized feelings of homophobia and a reluctance to disclose

TOFC’s Lauren Schmidt (left) controls the ball, with Kate Cartier (foreground) ready to provide support. home side fall behind 1-0 early, TOFC kicked its game into gear and began pressuring the Coastal defence. Following a penalty to Coastal, Abi Taneda connected on a free kick to tie the game 1-1 heading into half time. “Once the girls rallied, you could tell they really wanted it,” Dewar said. “We started putting pressure on their defence and frustration really set in for Coastal.” TOFC carried that momentum into the

second half, and when Coastal was penalized early for another infraction, Taneda slotted her second free kick of the afternoon for a 2-1 lead. Five minutes later, TOFC added some insurance when Chloe Alex and Ava Wright helped set up Kate Cartier for the game’s final goal. “There were hugs and high-fives all around,” Dewar said of the postgame celebration. “It was the reward for all the work they put in.”

Comprised of players from Kelowna, West Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton and Kamloops, the U13 girls were one of 10 TOFC teams to take to the pitch this season in the B.C. Soccer Premier League. Competing against clubs from all across there province, TOFC teams face their share of challenges, including considerably more travel and a much smaller pool of players to choose from than their Lower Mainland opponents.

DOUGLAS FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR

Members of the Thompson Okanagan Football Club U13 girls team can forever look back at June 26, 2016 as the day they had a hand in making history. The TOFC squad secured the regional program’s first ever B.C. Soccer Premier Cup title on Sunday at the Apple Bowl with a 3-1 victory over Coastal FC. Head coach Brian Dewar said his team’s win at the highest level of youth soccer in the province is a testament to the commitment and skill of each and every player on the team. “It’s very satisfying to see, to make a little bit of history for the club, to be able to take the cup is something these girls will never forget,” said Dewar. “To see this group of very special players come together in a fairly short time and win they way they did, it was great to watch. “They set goals all year and reached them every time. Seeing them develop and increase their abilities along the way, it was amazing.” After a tentative start Sunday which saw the

Members of the Thompson Okanagan FC U13 girls celebrate a goal in the first half against Coastal FC in the Premier Cup final Sunday at the Apple Bowl. TOFC general manager Kai Tolpinrud said the significance of the U13 girls win can’t be overstated. “This is monstrous for the program, to win at the highest level of soccer in B.C. means a lot,” he said. “With all the travel, the player numbers, and shorter season because of the climate, we’re at a disadvantage. We really have to work hard to compete with teams on the coast and island, so this is an extra special accomplishment.” Five years after moving into B.C. Soccer’s top youth league, Tolpinrud

said the program continues to evolve and TOFC teams are now competitive across all age groups. Toplinrud undoubtedly hopes the U13 girls’ win is a sign of things to come. “It’s fantastic for the program going forward,” said Tolpinrud. “The league and B.C.

It didn’t take long for Lucas Johansen to get acquainted with his new NHL team. The Kelowna Rockets defenceman took the ice on Tuesday for the first time as Washington Capitals’ property at the NHL team’s development camp in Arlington, VA. The Caps made the Port Moody native a firstround pick, 28th overall in the NHL entry draft Friday night in Buffalo.

“It’s pretty surreal, I’m just trying to soak it all in the best I can,” Johansen said Monday from Washington. “You work hard your whole life to fulfill your dream and being drafted is a huge honour. It’s a big step in the right direction and I’m humbled to be picked by a great organization like the Caps.” In just his second full season in Kelowna, the 6-foot-2, 175-pound Johansen stepped into a lead role on the Rockets blue line, scoring 10 goals

and adding 39 assists in 65 games. Kelowna assistant coach Kris Mallette said it was no surprise to see Johansen generate so much interest among pro teams. “The NHL now is so much about being to able to skate, get the puck and move it quick and Lucas does that very well,” said Mallette. “He’s very good skater, he eludes the forecheck, his decision making is pretty good….

Avalanche high on Jost–first-round draft pick In his one and only season of major midget hockey in Kelowna, it was clear to many that Tyson Jost was well on his way to stardom. Three years later, the former Okanagan Rockets’ forward is a firstround NHL draft pick. Friday night in Buffalo, Jost, the captain of the BCHL’s Penticton Vees last season, was chosen 10th overall by the Colorado Avalanche. “I want to play here someday and I want to help this team win

There’s such a great tradition, and I hope to be sitting next to these guys one day.” The 5-foot-11, 190-pound St. Albert, AB native will attend the University of North Dakota next season. Colorado vice president and GM Joe Sakic looks forward to the day Jost dons Avalanche colours. “Everywhere he’s gone he’s been a leader,” Sakic said of Jost on NHL.com. “Just by listening to him talk, he commands a

NHL teams pick four Rockets DRAFTED FROM A16 that’s what (NHL) teams were talking to us a lot about.” The last Rockets’ defencemen to be chosen in the first round of the NHL draft were Luke Schenn (5th) and Tyler Myers (12th) in 2008. Rockets’ forward Dillon Dube realized a dream Saturday when he was selected in the second round, 58th overall by the Calgary Flames. When the news came, Dube was with his family in Cochrane, AB, just a 30-minute drive from Saddledome, the home of the Flames. “It was pretty cool sitting at home with my family and being able to be selected by the hometown team, I don’t think it gets better than that,” said Dube. Dube scored 26 goals and added 40 assists in 65 games with the Rockets last season, but didn’t have the kind of year many expected from the 5-foot-10, 180-pound forward, as he slid down the draft rankings as the season progressed. Still, Mallette said Dube’s potential and work ethic is an attractive combo for NHL teams. “Dillon came in with big expectations last year, he was touted extremely high, and his season wasn’t quite what he wanted it to be,” Mallette said. “Having said that, scouts know there is a player in there, a tenacious, hardworking guy who wants to win. He will work as hard as he can to be successful and that’s a quality teams like.” The third Rocket to be selected was forward Calvin Thurkauf, who went in the seventh round, 185th overall to the Columbus Blue

Jackets. Mallette said the Swissborn Thurkauf exceeded expectations in his rookie season in the WHL. “He was a pleasant surprise, it was a credit to him that he worked his way into a top-six role,” Mallette said. “He’s a hardworking, strong, power forward that scouts liked. He’s a very sturdy, stocky player who likes to play a physical game.” Before all was said and done, Rockets’ 6-foot7 defenceman Braydyn Chizen was chosen by the Minnesota Wild in the seventh round, 204th overall. Often compared to another lanky blue liner, former Rocket Tyler Myers, Mallette is happy to see the St. Alberta, AB native be acknowledged

at the big-league level. “He moves well for a big guy, he has a lot of raw abilities and is still growing into his body,” Mallete said of Chizen. “You can’t teach size. He’s a raw specimen that someone took a chance on, so that’s great for Braydyn.”

Falcons prep for league-leaders

whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

With a four-game winning streak and a much needed threeday break on their side, the Kelowna Falcons are loading up for their biggest series of the 2016 West Coast League season. On Thursday, the Falcons will open a fourgame set in Victoria against the WCL North Division-leading HarbourCats. With seven games remaining in the first leg of Kelowna’s schedule, the Falcons (11-9) sit 4.5 games back of the ‘Cats (14-3). Victoria has 10 games remaining. The team finishing first in the division after 27 games—half of the total schedule of 54—earns the first of two divisional berths into the post

The Falcons have some ground to make up on Victoria before then, but field manager Bryan Donohue still likes how and where his team is positioned. “We’re hoping we can come into that series and make some things happen, we have a chance to put some pressure on them, so that’s a motivating factor for us,” Donohue said. “We’ll be coming in fresh from a nice break, the timing couldn’t be any better for us. “It was nice to finish out our home stand the way we did, so hopefully we can build on that.” The Falcons completed a three-game sweep of the Cowlitz Black Bears on Sunday night at Elks Stadium with a 2-1 win. After a solid 5-1 start to the season, Kelowna then went a dismal 2-8 over its

With a four-game win streak now under their belt, Donohue is hopeful his club has turned the corner. “It was a tough go for a while there, all those games I think the guys were walking away knowing we were better than what we were doing,” he said. “Piece by piece, we looked at the things we could have done better and we made some adjustments. That’s the mark of a good club and it’s been nice to win the last four.” Following the fourgame stint in Victoria, the Falcons will be in Wenatchee for a threegame set, Sunday throughout Tuesday. Kelowna’s next home action is Wednesday, July 6 against the Gresham GreyWolves.

Featuring the biggest purse yet in the fivehistory of the event, the ITF Kelowna Futures Tennis Tournament is taking centre stage this week at the Parkinson Rec Centre courts. Many of the game’s up-and-coming players, from countries around the world, are pursuing valuable ranking points and $25,000 (US) in prizes. That’s up $10,000 from last year’s tournament, a positive sign that the Kelowna event—a stepping stone to the ATP Tour—continues to evolve. “It’s more money for the players, so that’s great it, helps them cover the costs of getting to more tournaments,” said Joachim Nierfeld. “Tennis Canada came in and decided they were going to pick a few high standard events, like the one in Kelowna, and support us even more, so we’re happy about that. This tournament is on pace to grow even more in the future.” The field will be highlighted by North York’s Peter Polansky, the 154th-ranked player in the world. Polansky, 28, is fresh off his singles title win on Sunday at the Richmond Futures Tournament. “He’s been a Davis Cup player for Canada for many years and he’s been knocking at the door of making a breakthrough several times,” Nierfeld said of Polansky. “He qualified this year at Indians Wells, which is a big tournament, and won in Richmond, so he’s coming here playing well.” Also expected to contend is Australia Ben Mitchell, the 240th ranked player, who won the Kelowna tournament two years ago. Others to watch include Canada’s Phillip Bester (182nd) and Filip Peliwo (422nd). Polansky, Bester and Peliwo are all members of

No hitter for Jays… Meanwhile, the Jays took three of four games from the Nanaimo Coalminers last weekend, with the highlight coming in Saturday’s second game in Vernon. Despite a shaky start for Colton Tuka, he and Brennan Hegel combined for a no hitter in a 5-1 win over Nanaimo. In the opener, pitching was again the story in a 1-0 Kelowna win. Starter Dylan Emmons allowed only two hits in the pitchers duel, while Nick Ostram had the lone RBI. On Sunday in Kelowna, the Coalminers won the first game 9-6. For the Jays, Nick Ono was on base five times and scored two runs. In the finale, with Nanaimo running out of pitching, the Jays won 15-0. Bo Meiklejohn and Sam Stelnick split the pitching duties. Josh Keithly was 3-for- 3 and scored four runs, while Trevor Losftstrom hit a massive three-run home run in the bottom of the first inning.

Improvements to this year’s event include the resurfacing of the courts by the City of Kelowna three weeks ago, which Nierfeld said makes for “longer rallies and better action for spectators.” There is also a set of bleachers in the shade at court side for spectators to use during what is expected to be a hot and sunny week of weather in

Seven straight wins for Kelowna Sun Devils The Kelowna Sun Devils, playing for the first time in three weeks, ran their B.C. 18U AAA baseball winning streak to seven games with a sweep on Sunday in Chilliwack. In the opener, Jay Taylor

pitched five innings and allowed just one run in a 12-1 victory. Taylor also produced at the plate with two hits, two RBIs and a stolen base. Jackson Sowerby had three RBIs, while Jaimes Guidon(15U AA)

got the call up to 18U AAA and went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI. In Game 2, Kelowna prevailed 10-8 in eight innings. Ace Gavin Barrett started, allowing seven earned runs over three innings, before

giving way to Jordan Laidlaw who pitched five shutout innings for the win. Jay Taylor, Kurtis Wall, Jackson Sowerby, Jaimes Guidon and Noah Ringness-Law all picked up two base hits in the victory. In what will be their toughest of the season,

the Sun Devils will be in Victoria Saturday and Richmond Sunday to play the league’s top two teams. “Having three weeks off, as a team you are a little concerned, but the team pulled it together,” said Sun Devils coach Rob Law. “Victoria and Richmond are

very talented and well coached, it will be our biggest test of the year.” After this weekend’s games, the Sun Devils will head to Centralia, WA for the GSL College Showcase, where they’ll play games on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, followed by the playoffs on Saturday.

It’s all come down to one game for the Kelowna Raiders and Armstrong Shamrocks. With the fourth and final playoff spot on the line, the two teams will meet Thursday night in the final game of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League regular season. Face off at Memorial Arena is 7:30 p.m. A win or a tie would be enough for the Raiders (2-12-1) to secure the final berth, while the Shamrocks (1-13-1) must win to get in. The teams are all even through the first three meetings, each with a

win, a loss and a tie. “We’ve been at our best when we’ve played at home, so hopefully that will be the case again this week,” said Raiders head coach Travis Wray. “As long as the guys buy in to the system we’ve put in place, and give all their effort, I expect we’ll

be successful.” The winner of Thursday’s game will face the first-place Vernon Tigers in the opening round of the playoffs next week. The Raiders and ‘Rocks played to a 6-6 tie last Thursday in Armstrong, leaving Kelowna with five points in the standings and Armstrong with three. Cam McMillan led the Raiders’ attack with three goals. On Sunday, with just eight players in the lineup, Kelowna lost 13-4 to the Tigers in Vernon. Nick Alcorn scored twice for the Raiders.

We have also assisted the tens of thousands of individuals in British Columbia affected by this deadly disease.” Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS ), also referred to as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder that affects the person’s motor neurons that carry messages to the muscles resulting in weakness and wasting in arms, legs, mouth, throat and elsewhere.

Motel turned into low income housing Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

A former Kelowna motel is being turned into affordable rental housing for people at risk of homelessness in the city. The provincial government has announced it and the federal government have provided $5 million for the purchase and renovation of the former Econo Lodge motel at

workers each season. But with so many spaces needed, it is not only not feasible for the farmer, council, as it has shown in the past, is hesitant to allow the creation of “worker villages” popping up on farms in Kelowna. Former B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association president Kirpal Boparai, who spoke on behalf of the farmer, warned council, saying it will likely get more requests for temporary farmworker housing in future because

the demand is there. Basran said ideally, he would like to see housing for temporary farmworkers in areas where they are close to amenities and services, but added that would likely not be possible. But, he said he is concerned about proposals to simply renovate “picker’s shacks” that have not been used in 20 years as an answer. “These people need proper housing,” said the mayor.

The workers would live in the building, slated to house 40 people. But as it has done in the past with other, similar applications, city staff did not support the bid and left it to council to decide. Council also refused to support the application to the ALC. Agreeing with his council that the issue of housing for temporary farmworkers is a larger one that needs to be addressed by the BC the Central and South Ministry of Agriculture,ofOkanagan / Similkameen Basran said a meeting would be sought with the minister, KelownaLake Country MLA Norm Letnick, to discuss the problem.

University celebrates research grants

Craig Nichol holds an unlikely tool in the battle against climate change, wood mulch.

Wood mulch fights climate change

In addition to looking nice, covering soil with wood mulch can actually help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, UBC Okanagan research shows. In a recent study undertaken in Kelownaarea vineyards, UBCO researchers discovered that using mulch in agriculture can cut nitrous oxide emissions up to 28 per cent. “In addition to saving water, improving soil, combating pests and stopping weeds, wood mulch actually reduces the release of a greenhouse gas 300 times more potent than carbon dioxide,” said Craig Nichol, senior instructor of earth and environmental sciences at UBCO. “Provided you are not driving great distances to obtain the mulch, it would appear that mulch could be a powerful tool in helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly if used in these agricultural systems.” Nichol’s research was part of a two-year study in which small emissionsrecording chambers were placed on top of bare soil as well as soil covered by mulch. In addition to reduced levels of nitrous oxide emissions, mulched areas also showed a 74 per cent reduction in soil nitrates. The nitrates are the source material for nitrous oxide emissions

and can also leach into groundwater. According to Agriculture and AgriFood Canada, nitrous oxide emitted from soil accounts for one half of agriculture emissions that contribute to global warming. Emission levels are often higher in agricultural soil due to the use fertilizers and manure. Nichol’s research was part of a larger study with fellow UBC researchers Melanie Jones and Louise Nelson. The study was recently published in the journal Agricultural Water Management.

Biologists, engineers, statisticians, chemists and a number of grad students at UBC Okanagan will benefit from new federal research grants. The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) announced lastweek more than $465 million for some 4,000 awards as part of the discovery research programs for researchers across Canada, with almost $2.5 million coming to UBCO. “We are very pleased with the success of our faculty in this latest round of funding,” said Phil Barker, UBCO viceprincipal of research. “This reflects outstanding work from our researchers and the strong upward trajectory of research on this campus. We thank NSERC for the Discovery Grant program and for their continued support of our efforts.” Twelve UBC Okanagan researchers, coming from both the School of Engineering and the

Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences, were awarded Discovery Grants, which support ongoing research projects with long-term goals, says NSERC president B. Mario Pinto. “Discoveries build the necessary foundation for an innovative, prosperous and sustainable society,” said Pinto. “A diversified and high-quality research base requires us to provide equality of opportunity across gender and culture. ” Barker also points out that along with a Discovery Grant, assistant professor Kyle Larson, who teaches earth and environmental sciences and physical geography, was awarded a prestigious three-year Discovery Accelerator grant, which will assist in his structural geological research focused on plate tectonics. Along with the Discovery Grants, nine UBCO graduate students were awarded Canada Graduate Scholarships totaling more than $733,000 in funding for

the student-led research. The student scholarships are intended to help develop research skills and assist in the training of highly qualified personnel by supporting students. The NSERC grant recipients from UBCO are as follows:

Certified Carpet Cleaning Technician/Oxy-Dry® System Developer

Does cleaning the carpet remove cat hair?

Cats and dogs will drop not only hair on the carpet fibre, but dander as well. Over time this can add up to a significant amount leading to allergic reactions and malodors in the carpet. Repeated vacuuming with a good quality vacuum is limited in its effectiveness. Traditional cleaning methods that pressure wash will remove more hair but also drive hair and dander into the carpet backing. They will seldom pre vacuum. The Oxy-Dry® process incorporates a pre and post vacuum step with our exclusive Max-Vac vacuum for a true deep clean. The actual cleaning utilizes a separate machine that thoroughly scrubs and extracts the carpet fibre 360 degrees up to 5 times per second. Our exclusive aqueous Ozone system kills all germs, bacteria and viruses on contact and removes most malodors without using perfumes and is always included in our full service cleaning. For a deep clean that’s drier than steam, call Oxy-Dry®… www.oxy-dry.ca 250-860-4595 your FRESH choice®…naturally! OZONE

Our hip joints allow us to do an amazing number of things—walk on two legs, pivot, squat, even kick a ball. It is an engineering marvel to combine the stability required to balance the weight of the torso over a structure the size of a golf ball, with the substantial degree of mobility available. The high demands on the hip joints can, however, take their toll over a lifetime. Osteoarthritis is the most common hip

the joint. Muscle imbalances occur as a result of weak, tight, or inappropriately recruited muscles. Our neuro-muscular system can develop certain abnormal pathways of firing, creating suboptimal movement, and potential damage to joint structures. If these are retrained before the cartilage damage is severe, it can halt the progression and reduce the symptoms of arthritis.

One of the most important groups of muscles for maintaining optimal compression and centering the ball, (or head) of the femur in its socket are the Gluteal muscles on the lateral side of the hip. Core strength and balance are also very important components of optimal hip health. A second common diagnosis of hip pain is trochanteric bursitis. The most prominent lateral point on the hip bone is called the greater

trochanter. It was commonly thought that the bursa overlying this point was the most common local cause of lateral hip pain. However, in a recent study using real-time ultrasound, 80 per cent of patients with lateral hip pain did not have bursitis while 50 per cent of the 877 patients studied had tendinosus of their gluteal muscles—a degeneration of the deep hip rotators tendon’s collagen in response to overuse, occurring when other stabilizer muscles weaken. It is part of what has been labeled Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS). Symptoms of both OA and GTPS can be similar. Pain from OA is usually felt in one or more of the following areas—the groin (most common), over the greater trochanter, or down the front of the thigh and knee. Usually, arthritis pain is reported with or after activity, progressing to pain at night or at rest. With GTPS, point tenderness is noted at

or behind the greater trochanter, typically worse at night, especially when lying on the affected side. Lateral hip pain with repeated stair climbing and squatting is more likely due to GTPS. Maintaining adequate strength and flexibility of the hip muscles is an important component of treatment and prevention of both hip osteoarthritis and trochanteric pain syndrome. Physiotherapists are trained to assess these disorders. They can prescribe individual exercise where deficits in strength, mobility and balance are noted. For more information on hip osteoarthritis, bursitis and hip health, Sun City Physiotherapy will be hosting a free lecture at our downtown St. Paul Street clinic.

Sunshine has been at the shelter for a couple of months. She had just had a litter (who have all been adopted) and now it is her time to shine. She would do best in a low stress, no commotion household, as we see that she is coming out of her shell and is ready for a forever family to whisk her away. Sunshine loves to socialize & when she feels safe, she’ll lay on her back with eyes closes. There can be NO dogs & NO children in her new home, but she is fine with other cats.

If it’s hot, your pet may be in trouble! The temperature in a parked car, even in the shade with the windows partly open, can rapidly reach a level that will seriously harm or even kill your pet.

Bri was found wandering the streets, and had to have her coat shaved, but feels much better now. She is a very social, calm girl who would love a family of her own. Being easy to get along with, makes her an ideal pet for any type of household...she truly thinks humans are wonderful. Bri is house trained and gets along with other felines, so please take some time and come down to meet her. She is sure to catch your eye!

Mika is a happy little girl with a wonderful demeanor. She would fit puurfectly into your family as she is very social and personable.

Moxie is still quite young and will readily adapt to a calm home with a family that is more on the low key side.

WESTSIDE DAZE

Community ready to put on a show bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

Despite missing a couple of anticipated elements, the show will go on for the 2016 version of Westside Daze in West Kelowna. Mayor Doug Findlater said the city had hoped the new Memorial Park outdoor amphitheatre would be ready for Westside Daze to help showcase the entertainment, but the completion timetable for that project and the new skateboard park has been pushed back into July. “As you can see there is still work to be done on the amphitheatre,” said Findlater, at a press conference Monday morning adjacent to the facility. “But that won’t be able to happen. As well, the federal government has been a key contributor to this project and their representation here is important when we do have the official opening.” The other missing part of past Westside Daze events will be the midway rides, normally provided by Westcoast Amusements.

“The owner of the division that comes here every year passed away, and the family has opted to cancel its commitments this summer as a result,” said Leah Thordarson, president and administrator of Westside Daze. “Unfortunately, by the time we learned this it was too late to try and schedule another group to brings their rides in as a replacement because everyone is all booked up. So we look forward to the rides returning next year.” However, Westside Daze will still feature four days of activities opening on Thursday, June 30, and closing out Sunday, July 3. Among the highlights will be the Canada Day festivities on Friday with the birthday cake cutting at 3 p.m.; the United Way Pancake breakfast on Saturday, 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. at Lions Hall, along with a pancake breakfast fundraiser put on by the Westside Daze organizing committee on Friday (9 to 11 a.m.) and Sunday (8 to 11 a.m.); nightly entertainment on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings featuring a variety of

Kelowna is not only a mecca for tourists but a desirable destination for outdoor activity organizers as well. With the growing number of outdoor events in Kelowna, there are also a variety of opportunities for event volunteers. Kelowna’s outdoor happenings run the gamut from athletic events to foodie fairs and cultural celebrations. Many of the volunteer opportunities are listed on Volinspire, a new platform designed to engage volunteers and provide valuable management tools for organizations and non-profit groups who host events. Kate Ormond discovered that the United Way Day of Caring needed volunteers after signing up on the Volinspire platform earlier this year. She has also helped out at the Pushor Mitchell Kelowna Apple Triathlon.

Fundraiser also served as a fashion statement

“The first year that my husband and I volunteered at the Apple Triathlon, we were struck by how appreciative the athletes were to the volunteers for making the event possible. “Athletes were thanking us all weekend, some even as they were running their race! It really hit us how vital volunteers are to successful events.” Studies by the Canadian Mental Health Association show that regular volunteer activity can have a positive effect on mental and physical health. Volunteers consistently report a high feeling of self-worth,

achievement and higher motivation. “The greatest perk for me is that feeling of being part of a team and the appreciation of the participants,” said Ormond. “I have run in races myself since, and I always make a point to thank the volunteers—without them none of it would be possible.” “We are able to attract and grow great events in our city because of the dedicated volunteer community,” added Mariko Siggers, event development supervisor with the City of Kelowna. “The benefits of volunteering are endless—it’s a great opportunity to learn new skills, make new friendships, give back to your community and inspire others to do

the same.” There are plenty of volunteer opportunities available in Kelowna this summer, including the Canada Day celebrations on July 1, Arts on the Avenue on July 28 and the Apple Triathlon from Aug. 19 to 21. Those who sign up to volunteer for any of the outdoor events listed on the City’s Outdoor Events Volinspire page by June 30, will be included in a draw to win a $50 gift certificate.

They have only played a handful of local concerts since 2008, but on Friday night fans of the Cruzeros will be able to watch the band’s full lineup in a 90-minute headlining concert at Kelowna’s Tugboat Beach. The Cruzeros—one of the most popular bands to ever come out of Kelowna—will take to the TD Beach Stage in Tugboat Beach this Friday, 8:50 p.m., to play a set leading up to the fireworks display, playing one of their rare gigs together since they stopped touring in 2008. “We are thrilled at the opportunity to play to our hometown at such an important event,” said original member Curtis Tulman. “We live in one of the best cities in the best country in the world and it is an honour to celebrate that with our Kelowna fans who have given us so much encouragement and support throughout our career.” After a 13-year career that spawned three albums, 20 top 40 hits and dozens of awards, the Cruzeros stopped touring in 2008 and went on their separate musical paths, playing just a few benefit concerts together in Kelowna during the last eight years. But the chance to play on Canada Day in front of Kelowna fans, got the band back together and chomping at the bit to get back in front of an audience in their hometown. The band will field its full sevenpiece concert lineup which includes

The Cruzeros headline Kelowna’s Canada Day party Friday night in one of their rare full concerts in the last eight years. main songwriter and lead vocalist Barry Mathers on guitar and mandolin, Tulman on vocals, guitar, harmonica and saxophone, Jim Ryan on vocals and bass, songstress Rachel Matkin on vocals, Jay Terrence on drums, Gary Smyth on lead guitar and Rod Miller on keys and accordion. The Cruzeros were formed by Mathers and Tulman in 1985 under the name Sea Cruise, playing top 40 cover tunes and quickly becoming a favourite of the pub and nightclub circuit in the B.C. Interior.

They began writing and recording their own songs later that year and for the next decade enjoyed regional notoriety with airplay of their homeproduced singles on local radio and television exposure though videos produced by the BC Music Project. It was during this time they changed the name to The Cruzeros after taking the band for a tour in Mexico. It was also during this time they bought homes and began raising families in Kelowna. Their big break came in 1995

when they received funding through FACTOR to produce an album, which they did with Vancouver producer Bill Buckingham. The album, simply called The Cruzeros was released to radio in 1996 to instant and widespread national acceptance, earning them a JUNO nomination for Country Group of the Year. For the next 13 years they were one of Canada’s hardest working and most successful independent bands, launching three albums

which spawned a total of 20 top 40 hits on the national country charts, eight videos on CMT and dozens of award citations including a Canadian Indy for Country Album of the Year, CCMA Special Instrumentalist of the Year three years running and BCCMA Group, Songwriter and Album of the Year awards. The average year saw them performing over 150 dates across Canada with forays into the United States, Mexico and Europe and sharing stages with some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. Each of the band members remains active in the music scene. Mathers produces and engineers from his home studio, Redhouse Recording and has joined with Rachel to form the very rootsy and highly original Dirt Road Opera. Tulman heads the worship department for the Willow Park Church Network and joins Smyth and Miller in the eclectic gypsy jazz group Cowboy Bob. Ryan is a highly sought after studio musician who is regularly called to recording sessions in Vancouver, Toronto and Nashville, while Terrence remains one of the most popular drummers in the valley. They all continue to live, work, play and enjoy their families in the sunny Okanagan.

A cheque for $6,380 was delivered to the KGH Foundation events and projects coordinator Bettina Muller last week at the club’s monthly dinner meeting. On hand for the photo were Shelley Sweeney, Bettina Muller, Maxine DeHart and Lynne Herrin. “We are so happy to be able to present this cheque to the Foundation,” said Sweeney, one of the gala organizers. “It is important for our club to show our support for KGH in a relatively unique fashion.”

More than an employee: The making of a fiduciary David Brown Contributor

All employees have contractual duties to their employers, including a duty to perform work to the best of their abilities, a duty to follow reasonable instructions and a duty of good faith and loyalty. While these duties are true for all workers, Canadian law also recognizes that certain employees have duties beyond simply showing up on time, putting in a full day’s work and acting honestly vis-avis their employer. The responsibilities they hold, along with the unique relationship they have with their employer, may escalate their role to that of a fiduciary. But what makes a fiduciary, and how are they different other employees? Fiduciaries are usually (but not always) high level employees such as directors and upper management. By virtue of their position, they will generally have directing authority over the

business and the power to guide the company. Because of the inherent power associated with the position, the organization becomes vulnerable to abuse of authority. This idea of vulnerability is central to fiduciary law, and as a result, at times even a lower level employee can be found to be a fiduciary. Such has been the case of unsupervised liquor store cashiers stealing cash (581257 Alberta Ltd v Aujla, 2013 ABCA 16 (CanLII)), a bookkeeper writing fraudulent cheques to herself (South Nahanni Trading Company Ltd v Gravel, 2007 CanLII 30668 (ON SC)) and a bank teller misappropriating deposits. In all of these cases,

the three-step test for the creation of a fiduciary relationship was met: i) The fiduciary had scope for the exercise of some discretion or power. (ii) The fiduciary can unilaterally exercise that power or discretion so as to affect the beneficiary’s legal or practical interests. (iii) The beneficiary is peculiarly vulnerable to or at the mercy of the fiduciary holding the discretion or power. Being identified as a fiduciary and the duty of “utmost good faith”

products, research and development) and client relationships to advance their own interests or the interests of a competing firm, the employer vulnerable to the breach of trust may apply to the court for an injunction and damages. Another important implication of being identified as a fiduciary is that it can reverse the onus of proving damages. However, once the fraud or breach of fiduciary duty is established, and the

towards their employer can have important implications on an employee. In my experience, a breach of fiduciary obligations in employment law is most often argued in cases of unfair competition. A common scenario arises with a high level employee with access to sensitive company information and client relationships. If that employee uses insider knowledge (such as pricing,

is a fiduciary or not is always fact specific and an allegation of breach of trust is sure to be hotly disputed. Identifying an employee as a fiduciary certainly also doesn’t replace a professional non-competition/nonsolicitation agreement, effective company policies and appropriate oversight over employee activities.

I turned 65 this week and I have to say that when my Old Age Security letter arrived in the mail a week ago, it was rather a bittersweet moment. I went from feeling ‘Oh, that’s nice’ to ‘Oh my God, how did this get here so soon’ in reflecting on my approaching 65th birthday. That morning, I awoke and laid quietly with my thoughts, giving myself the opportunity to begin the walk across the bridge to a new place. As I reflected on the journey of this past year, my mind went to preparing for the radio show I was going to host, celebrating this rite of passage.

Engaging In Aging MARJORIE HORNE Yes, my own radio show. A dream come true that every little step over the past six years has led me to. I read a short little story on the air called Blame It On The Bossanova by Mary South. It is one of the inspirational tales from the Oprah Winfrey book, O’s Little Guide to Finding Your True Purpose. Oprah opens the book with this bit of wisdom: “We’re all called. If you’re here breathing, you have

As South experienced adopting to new changes in her life, I too have been blessed with so many joyful surprises as I believe my true purpose has unfolded, one step at a time. I realize that if I had not committed to moving through the fear of each opportunity that was presented to me, the unfolding of my dream would have been thwarted to get to this moment today. At the age of 15, after starting to work in a local care facility, my dream was to make a difference for people who are aging and vulnerable. I saw some things there that really appalled me and so off I went into nursing. It was in particular one patient, Lena, who was bedridden and in a state of severe contracture

from Parkinson’s disease. Her big eyes widening with happiness as I came into her room to give her a hug and a soft touch is embedded in my memory. It is she who guides me to this day to stay true to the passion I felt in wanting to make things better for those that can’t speak for themselves. After doing my radio show last Sunday, my hubby and I headed up to the Elvis Festival in Penticton, the only way for a die-hard Elvis gal to spend her 65th. Elvis has journeyed the road of my life in a strange and wonderful way. My mom absolutely adored him and we would be rocking to his tunes throughout my teenage years, all four of the girls in my family and mom gyrating and crooning in the kitchen as we all did the dishes together. As I sat next to my hubby, listening to the tribute show rendition of My Eyes Have Seen The Glory, I felt an overwhelming surge of emotion. Life seemed to have come full circle for me. The struggles of my life felt to be back on the other side of the bridge and I had simply crossed over to where there seems to be a garden of overwhelming gratitude for all I have experienced. I gently sobbed with my husband holding me and it seemed that only the good of my growing up life remained. The joyful enthusiasm of my mom on her good days, the camaraderie I shared with my three sisters, the tight union of our family through the many joys and hardships we shared. We walked out of the auditorium into the sunshine and all seemed right with the world. I guess this truly is the blessing of aging and turning 65. I can’t wait for what comes at 70!

The Mount Boucherie Jazz Quartet performing for seniors at the 50+ Activity Centre in Peachland.

Busy June for Peachland seniors Susan Van Noortwyk Contributor

June was a special month at the 50+ Activity Centre in Peachland. The Peachland & District Retirement Society board of directors hosted a lunch on June 10 for its members over the age of 80. The directors were busy again on June 24 hosting the annual Potluck Barbecue, attended by more than 60 people who enjoyed hamburgers, hotdogs and a wide array of delicious salads. The evening was topped off with an entertaining performance by the Mount Boucherie High School Jazz Quartet. These four talented students impressed us all with their professionalism, musical ability and most important how well they engaged with their audience. There won’t be any Potluck Friday dinners over the summer for July and August, so the next one will take place Sept. 23. But watch for the pancake breakfasts scheduled for Sundays July 3, July 31 and Sept. 11, 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. I hear there is a special treat planned for the July 3 breakfast involving cherries from the Grieve garden. The breakfast cost is $5 adults, children age 6 to 11, $3; and children under 5 get in free. *** Anyone interested in duplicate bridge? Marv Norden will host Welcome to the world of Duplicate Bridge on July 12, Tuesday, 1:30 p.m. “Bridge is the greatest mind game today, whist, the forerunner to bridge has been around for over 200 years,” explained Norden. “If you like to have fun, love a challenge, enjoy meeting new people and want to keep your brain active and sharp, then duplicate bridge is for you.” If there is enough interest this group will play every Tuesday. Norden says players need to know something about bridge but don’t need to be game expert. Give hime a call at 250-767-6446 if you are interested but can’t make it on July 12. *** The Loonie Pot draw was won on June 23 by Francis Joy, the recipient of $327.

She is survived by her son Jim (Elaine) of Amhurstburg ON; son John of Vancouver BC; daughter Cindie (Darrell) of Kelowna BC; grandson Bill of Windsor ON; granddaughter Jamie (Ryan) of Kelowna BC and two loving great grandsons Lukas, 6, and Asher, 3. Helen was a registered nurse during World War II. Our mother enjoyed life to the fullest. She loved tennis, golf and curling, but her passion was bridge.

home ____________________________________________________________________ OF PRIME INTEREST

Mortgage default insurance helps new homebuyers Mortgage default insurance, commonly referred to as mortgage insurance, helps homebuyers achieve their dream of buying their own home sooner and without a large down payment. It is a mandatory insurance that protects the lender if you default on your mortgage agreement, provided by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Genworth Financial Canada and Canada Guaranty Mortgage Insurance Company. Mortgage default insurance is required when your down payment is less than 20 per cent of the purchase

fully qualified mortgages. The mortgage default insurance premiums are not refundable if your mortgage is paid off early but if you are porting the mortgage to a new home or switching your mortgage to another lender you may be eligible to transfer the insurance. Let’s look at an example of how the insurer calculates the insurance premium. The purchase price/value of a property is $300,000 and a down payment of $30,000 will result in a loan to value ratio (LTV) of 90 per cent and a mortgage amount of $270,000. The default insurance premium

should the mortgage go into default. A mortgage is generally considered to be in default if payments are not made as agreed. When an insured property is sold as a result of mortgage default and the sale does not cover the outstanding balance and all costs, the insurer will pay the shortfall to the lender and then has the right to enforce against the borrowers for the deficiency. The insurance premium is calculated as a percentage of the mortgage amount and the higher the loan to value ratio is, the higher the insurance premium will be. Premiums range from 0.60 to 3.85 per cent for

price or the appraised value of the home and this type of mortgage is referred to as a high-ratio mortgage. The purchase price must be less than $1 million and if you require high-ratio insurance the amortization cannot exceed 25 years. Mortgage default insurance does not protect the borrower or the guarantor. It is for the benefit of the lender and when mortgage insurance is required it is the lender who arranges for the coverage and the premium is added to your mortgage and amortized over the life of the mortgage. The insurance protects the lender

rate will be 2.4 per cent. Insurance premium: $270,000 x 2.4% = $6,480 for a total mortgage of 276,480 amortized over 25 years. Mortgage default insurance should not be mistaken for mortgage life insurance. Mortgage life insurance is an option purchased by the borrower for the benefit of the borrower.
