Rash of drug overdoses speeding up need for local safe injection site Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
Kelowna could soon have a safe injection site, as Interior Health is moving forward with a multi-tiered plan to combat the mounting number of drug related overdoses. “We are as we speak conducting a survey with people who use drugs so they can provide input on the idea of a safe injection service,” said Dr. Silvina Mema, Medical Health Officer with IHA, noting that the survey will identify the appetite for such a facility and best locations. The health authority also had a cursory meeting with Kelowna
city council on Monday to inform them of where they’re at in the process. Although the plan is still in the consultation phase, there’s an impetus to get something up-andrunning sooner than later, said Mema, noting that Kelowna could see 40 drug related deaths by the end of 2016, doubling the amount of drug-fatalities from the previous year. “These are preventable deaths,” she said, adding that a safe injection site, if implemented with other measures, could go a long way in lowering that number. Making it easier to move into action is that the site, once built, will be on a much smaller scale
than InSite—the Vancouver safe injection facility. “It would basically be a stainless steel counter with three or four chairs and one or two nurses there to supervise in case a user needs health care,” said Mema. “It would probably be in a facility where clean needles and things of that kind are already provided. “This is new. It’s an innovation for Kelowna if we go ahead and do it here. “What is holding us back is planning and also the community… we need to engage with the community to move this forward.” In order to open a facility of this
kind, the health authority needs to ask for permission from Health Canada to be exempted from Section 56 under the Controlled Drug and Substances Act. Their application has to include the community perspective, which includes a summary of what neighbours think about the idea. “We are currently looking for viable sites and then when we know that then we can ask the neighbours,” she said. Although the facility will likely be placed in a commercial neighbourhood, the health authority is prepared for community opposition.

News MUSIC FESTIVAL
Babyboomer rockers will play rain or shine Barry Gerding bgerding@kelownacapnews.com
The Rock The Lake outdoor concert will proceed rain or shine this weekend at the Prospera Place parking lot in downtown Kelowna. Unusually unstable weather for August coupled with the cancellation of the outdoor Michael Bolton concert Sunday at Mission Hill Estate Winery has put a focus on what if it rains this weekend. But Sean Bianchin, spokesperson for Prospera Place, said the concerts on Friday, Saturday and Sunday will
proceed even if it rains, featuring the likes of Trooper, Harlequin, Head Pins and Prism. “Our stage is set up to deal with rain and it won’t affect any of the gear. The only issue we have to give special consideration to is thunder and lightning because the stage is metal,” Bianchin said. If it is a torrential downpour, he
said the 3,500 ticket holders can pour indoors to Prospera Place to wait out the liquid sunshine if necessary. “The weather is something you do have to prepare for when doing an outdoor show. The Centre of Gravity has had to deal with rain in the past and everything proceeded as planned,” Bianchin said. Meanwhile, Bianchin said the
remaining single tickets made available for sale last week are all gone, giving the people who run Prospera Place a sell-out for a first go at promoting their own outdoor concert event. “It’s a little different as is we usually are working with a promoter to stage their concert, but we’ve built this from the ground up ourselves so it’s unique for us in that sense,” Bianchin said. He said there hope is to make it an annual event, in future years looking to involve the Prospera Place more in the actual event, perhaps hosting one
band indoors as part of the festival. The concert set-up in the parking lot has already begun as the stage will back on to Water Street, meaning the music will carry out to the surrounding area. “We are going to be rocking down here all weekend long,” he said about creating abuzz downtown this weekend. “Just with our site logistics, we are catering to a smaller audience group, but our hope is a good amount of people will want to come back next year and those who missed it this year will want to be part of it next year.”
PROVINCIAL PROGRAM
Kelowna families get access to Farmers’ Market bounty Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
KATHY MICHAELSH/CAPITAL NEWS
Feeding her five young children locally-grown, organic foods wasn’t always possible, but with a little help from the Farmers’ Market Nutrition Coupon program Aislinn O’Grady can now do just that. Speaking Saturday at a provincial government press conference set amid the hustle and bustle of Kelowna’s weekly farmers’ market, O’Grady explained that the coupon program has allowed her brood to access foods that once seemed out of reach. “We would come and walk around with the kids and look, but we never found room in our budget to shop,” she said. “With these coupons we can get local organic fruits and

veggies… it allows a wider variety of food into my kids diets, which I appreciate. And it means we can buy local, which is really nice. Now when her family goes to the market, the children walk around and each choose something they like spending their weekly allotment from the coupon program, and O’Grady doesn’t have to agonize over whether she can afford it or whether typical childhood finickiness will create waste. “If they don’t eat it all, I just finish it,” she said. “We are thankful we can come to the farmers market and get nice local food for our family.” The coupon program has been around since 2012, but it got a $1 million boost Saturday, meaning that
10,000 British Columbians will this year be able to access fresh local foods in their respective communities. Each week, program participants receive $15 worth of coupons that can be used at one of the 63 participating markets in B.C. “That’s about $240 for the (farmers’ market) season,” said Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick at the press conference. “This program is not only about nutritious food, however. To receive coupons participants are asked to take nutrition and skills building classes offered by local community, agency partners.” In the case of Kelowna, those agency parents include the Bridge, the Central Okanagan Food Bank and the
Seniors Outreach Society. :B.C. can be very proud of the wold class produce we grow and farmers’ markets are a great way for producers to share their high quality product with their communities,” said Letnick, the MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country “The Farmers’ Market Nutrition Coupon program is a great way to help people get home grown B.C. produce while developing a strong, sustainable agriculture sector.” The Farmers Market Nutrition Coupon program runs for 16 weeks from June through October 2016 and is administered by the B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets. @kelownanewsKAT
POLICE INVESTIGATION CONTINUES
Police identify Hein Road murder victim Kelowna RCMP have released the name of a man killed early Friday morning in Rutland with the hope that anyone with information about this incident will speak to police. On Aug. 5 at 6:07 a.m., the Kelowna RCMP were called to a residence in the 400 block of Hein Road for reports of shots being fired. When emergency crews arrived on
scene, they located Benjamin Cory Virgint deceased inside his home. “The Kelowna RCMP Serious Crimes Unit (SCU) continue to probe Virgint’s death, as investigators continue to work closely with the BC Coroners Service” said Const. Jesse O’Donaghey, in a press release. “An autopsy of the deceased’s body is still pending. Police strongly believe that

community agencies. “The program not only gives those at risk free naloxone kits, it also provides an opportunity to offer information on how to prevent an overdose from occurring in the first place by educating clients about factors that can increase the risk of overdose,” said Dr. Silvina Mema, Medical Health Officer. “For example, one of the things we tell people is that if they haven’t used a drug for a while their tolerance or response to that drug can change and that puts them at greater risk of an overdose.” This expansion increases access to the life-saving medication,
naloxone. Naloxone can reverse an opioid overdose by restoring breathing within two to five minutes. It improves the chances of survival while waiting for medical help to arrive. Naloxone is a safe medication that cannot be abused and has no effect on the body in the absence of opioids. It is non-addictive, does not produce a high and has no street value. In addition to making naloxone kits more accessible, the Take Home Naloxone program also provides training on how to prevent, recognize and respond to an overdose situation. The Take Home
kit from local pharmacies —a prescription for naloxone is no longer required. All of the initiatives support the work of the newly formed Joint Task Force on Overdose Response. Headed by Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall and Director of Police Services Clayton Pecknold, the task force will provide expert leadership and advice to the province on additional actions to prevent and respond to overdoses in British Columbia. The actions also align with recommendations identified by the BC Overdose Action Exchange.
IH: ‘This is not a straightforward service’ SITE FROM A1 “This is not a straightforward service,” Mema said. “These are controversial services because it addresses the needs of people who are marginalized and people who are doing something illegal, and there’s a
stigma around that. “People think these individuals shouldn’t be entitled to health services like others who don’t engage in illegal activity.” And, while the facility would simply be a safe space to inject drugs, it would also provide a bridge for people who use drugs to enter into
the health system. “Maybe, eventually, someone would be ready to engage in services like detox and that will put them out of the misery of their addiction,” said Mema. “They don’t have to look for help, but when they are ready they know it is there if they need it
and that’s an advantage because these are people that wouldn’t get it otherwise.” Mayor Colin Basran has expressed support for a safe injection site, but said the city has little to do with any operation. It’s driven by the province and IHA.
City dumps RV use on farmland Alistair Waters awaters@kelonwacapnews.com
Calling it a “failed experiment,” Kelowna city council voted Monday to stop allowing RV camping sites on agricultural land in the city. According to a staff report, with five of the
current 15 operations taken to court by the city, another four in non-compliance with outstanding issues, two others currently in development and only four compliant, the issue is deemed not worth the city’s time. The report said the issue of dealing with

RV sites on agricultural land—seen as part of agritourism— is taking up a lot of staff time and city money and should be stopped. “This has been a failed experiment that has taken up way too much staff time, way too much,” said Mayor Colin Basran, who voted with seven of his eight councillors to stop the practice. Only Coun. Charlie Hodge voted to continue to consider allowing RVs be parked on agricultural land by visitors. Basran said while he voted in favour of the last proposal that came to council a few months ago—a proposal he said had yet to materialize and could come back to
haunt the city—he was comfortable voting to stop the practice. Several councillors, including Mohini Singh who works for the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture, made it clear they support agritourism initiatives here and are not opposed to other forms of agritourism accommodation such as bed and breakfasts. Singh said locating RVs on agricultural land had become too much of a burden for the city to manage. City staff noted that sites such as the ones now banned in Kelowna are discouraged on agricultural land in the Greater Vancouver Regional District.

RUTLAND ASSAULT
Court ruling ends crocodile dream
Machete wielding thugs attack man at Ben Lee Park
Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
The final chapter of Kelowna’s ill-fated exotic animal refuge has been written. Doug Illman, the former owner of CrocTalk, pleaded guilty Friday to one count of unlawful posession of live wild life and two counts of violating the provincial Wildlife Act. For that he was fined $2,500 and prohibited for 10 years from working with controlled alien species, except through a company or organization that is certified through the Canadian Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Illman’s partner Brenda Bruce also faced a series of charges, but they were stayed this week. “I’m not talking about any charges but I want to say that I’m satisfied this chapter is over and I’m very grateful to our
Doug Illman, former owner of CrocTalk, with one of his favourite reptiles. Kelowna community and all of our supporters over the years local and international,” said Illman on Friday. Illman and Bruce closed down the exotic animal refuge in 2015, after years of struggling to find appropriate shelter for the creatures CrocTalk housed and convincing varying levels of government to grant licences so they could operate as a zoo. And, although the facility was eventually
bogged down by controversy, the future once looked bright. Illman opened the facility in 2002, with the intention to promote conservation efforts for crocodilians, African wild cats and tortoises through educational events called “Croc Talks.” From its inception it proved popular with visitors, but financially and legally it was less loveable. As Illman said
himself on a number of occasions, the bills kept rolling in while the dollars raised never matched. Things kept getting worse, and by 2012 the operation looked completely untenable. Looking at a bill of $4,000 in 2012, Illman went so far as to say he’d consider putting his creatures down if he didn’t raise funds, prompting some questions about the legitimacy of the business. “I’m not going to Mexico; I haven’t been on a holiday in 20 years. Any income that comes in to Croc Talk, goes to Croc Talk,” Illman told a Kelowna Capital News reporter at the time. “It costs me $8,000 a month to operate this facility.” That money provides veterinarian costs,
utilities, the building lease, insurance, food and dietitian needs for the animals. Fundraising efforts saved the day, but not for long. By the start of 2015 the east Kelowna facility was in dire straights, having lost its business licence with the city and several of its creatures to conservation officers. Illman was even being evicted. By summer of that same year it was shutting its doors and shipping animals off to other refuges across the country. Illman has maintained that he opened the facility with the best of intentions, and he never got a break.
Mounties are searching for two suspects following a machete attack in Rutland. The Kelowna RCMP responded Aug. 8 at 12:11 a.m., to a report of an assault that had just occurred in Ben Lee Park located in the 900 block of Houghton Road. Police have determined that the victim was with a group of associates when he was allegedly approached and attacked by two male suspects armed with machetes. The two men allegedly physically kicked and punched the victim countless times. The victim had also sustained injuries as a result of being struck with the bladed weapons. “RCMP believe that the victim was targeted by his attackers,” said Const. Jesse O’Donaghey, in a press release. “The police investigation is ongoing and the RCMP are searching for any additional witnesses who may have been in the area at the time. Police ask anyone with any information regarding this serious assault to come forward to police or remain anonymous and call Central Okanagan Crime Stoppers.” The victim, a 22-year-old Kelowna man, was taken to hospital, with what police believe to be serious non-life threatening injuries.

that recommendations for improvements be brought to cabinet. Considerations around secure care would be part of that work.” The ministry was responding to a story in the Capital News last week about a local woman who was at her wit’s end, trying to access help for her drugaddicted teen —help the teen didn’t want. The mom explained she was going to leave B.C., where she couldn’t access the health records of her son, or enrol him in treatment without his consent, so she could access health care in Alberta. “I have been through every resource available. But this may be the only thing I can do… People here don’t know,” she said, adding she communicates with a network of moms who are in different stages of the same problem. “Unless you have a

Parents looking for changes to B.C. legislation that would allow them to have some say in their children’s drug treatment could eventually get what they want, says a representative of Ministry of Children and Family Development. “Government is committed to providing the most appropriate services for people suffering from addictions in British Columbia, and we welcome any ideas on how we may be able to improve these,” reads a comment from the ministry. “It is important to note that three ministers— Health, Education, and Children and Family Development—have child and youth mental health accountabilities in their mandate letters, requiring
troubled youth and are looking for resources, you are living in a bubble. There is no help in B.C. unless your child wants it and the situation with drugs is dire.” Alberta has legislation called the the Protection of Children Abusing Drugs Act that took effect in Alberta in 2006. It is aimed at helping children under 18 years of age whose use of alcohol or drugs is likely to cause significant psychological or physical harm to themselves or physical harm to others. The Alberta act allows legal guardians to ask the court for a protection order. Those orders mean a child can be taken to a protective safe house for up to 10 days, even if he or she does not want to go. The 10-day period will provide the child with a structured and protective setting in which to

begin detoxification, while providing his or her parents with an opportunity to get involved in the process. The time spent in the protective safe house also allows counsellors a chance to assess a child’s substance use and offer treatment recommendations to follow once the child has been discharged from the program. Although the B.C. ministry representative said there may eventually be changes, they also pointed out that pushing a patient into detox isn’t considered the best course of action. “It is widely agreed that voluntary services— such as detox, residential treatment, and outpatient addictions and/or mental health counselling—are the most effective means of addressing addiction issues, which are often concurrent with mental health problems.”

West Kelowna council has directed city staff to proceed with the associated bylaw amendments to its Official Community Plan upon completion of the size and location for the proposed neighbourhood commercial, school and park sites within the Goat’s Peak/ Gellatly Comprehensive Development Plan and associated timing for the dedication of park land. The Goat’s Peak/ Gellalty Comprehensive Development Zone encompasses four properties totaling approximately 110 hectares. The proposed land uses generally adhere to the OCP in that 55 per cent of the land will be set aside as protected open space, with developed areas focused on historically disturbed areas on the site.

OC business students awarded prestigious international business school scholarships Two Okanagan College students will soon have the chance to continue their education abroad after receiving coveted awards from the Irving K. Barber British Columbia Scholarship Society. Madeline Kempf and Cassandra Lum of Okanagan College’s School of Business are two of only six college students in the province to receive the Premier’s International Scholarships this year. The awards, valued at between $6,000 and $10,000 each, assist students studying a wide variety of subjects ranging from fine arts to nursing to political studies at colleges and universities around the world. “It’s great to see students gaining international experience through support from the Irving K. Barber BC Scholarship Society,” said Jim Hamilton, president of Okanagan College. “Ike really believed in the transformative power of education. His support of students throughout the province has created a legacy that grows each year. It benefits students across such a diverse array of programs, backgrounds, interests, and institutions.” For Penticton’s Cassandra Lum, receiving the scholarship was the ticket to fulfilling a long-standing dream
of studying in France. Okanagan School of Business students currently have the opportunity to study abroad at institutions in 16 different countries. “I couldn’t be more excited for this opportunity,” said Lum, who will graduate next June with a bachelor of business administration degree specializing in accounting. “I think it’s extremely beneficial to have a worldly view when it comes to business, but beyond that I firmly believe travel is just such an important part of how we learn and grow outside of the classroom. Lum will head to the EDHEC Business School in Nice at the end of August. “Studying abroad is a wonderful option the school provides,” said Lum. “I’d certainly encourage students to consider it when planning their studies.” The scholarship win caps off a busy and rewarding year for Lum, who also served as president of Enactus Okanagan College, a community of young entrepreneurial leaders committed to advancing social issues through business. At the Enactus National Exposition in Toronto in May, Lum and fellow BBA student Abbey Jones were
two of only 10 students from across Canada to take home national Founders Bursaries. The Irving K. Barber British Columbia Scholarship Society has awarded more than $3.1 million in international scholarships since the program’s inception in 2008. The Premier’s Scholarships are awarded once annually, while the Society’s One World International Scholarships are disbursed to students throughout the year. Along with international scholarships, the society provides transfer scholarships and financial awards and scholarships for aboriginal students at the undergraduate level through to those enrolled in doctoral studies. This year, Okanagan College students hoping to study overseas can apply online to tap into $35,000 available in One World Scholarships from the Society.

The Slovenian Society of Okanagan has donated $7,000 to the B.C. Children’s Hospital. The donation comes on the heels of the society recently giving a total of $14,000 to the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation and the Central Okanagan Hospice House. The society is disbanding after 35 years and these recent donations are intended to be a legacy for the organization, which has been dedicated to preserving the Slovenian language, heritage and culture in the Okanagan since it was founded by Ignac Konte on Feb. 22, 1981, in Kelowna.

Lakeview Heights water system on boil advisory Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com
The City of West Kelowna is advising some of its residents to boil their tap water becuase of increase turbidity levels not seen since 2008. On Tuesday, West Kelonwa city hall said until further notice, a water quality advisory will continue in city’s Lakeview water system, affecting approximately 4,000 connections (11,000 customers). The neighbourhoods affected include Lakeview Heights, Rose Valley, Boucherie Centre, Shannon Woods, Tallus Ridge and Shannon Lake. The city has provided an interactive map on its homepage under News at www.westkelownacity. ca to help customers determine if they live in the affected area. Residents living in the Westbank, West Kelowna Estates, Pritchard and Sunnyside Water Systems are not affected. Neighbourhoods not affected by the water quality advisory include: Glenrosa, Westbank, Smith Creek, Gellatly, Green Bay, South Boucherie/Mission Hill/ Sunnyside, Pritchard Drive/Jennings and Hitchner Roads, West Kelowna Estates/Bear Creek, Casa Loma and areas of Westside Road within the municipal boundary.
The city said due to higher than normal turbidity levels, it is recommended that water to be consumed and used by children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute before use, or use an alternate, “safe” source of water. People in those categories should boil water for uses such as: drinking, brushing teeth, washing fruits and vegetables that are to be eaten raw, preparing food, mixing baby formula and making ice. The city said algae growth in Rose Valley Reservoir is greater than normal due to unusual
weather this year, contributing to the higher turbidity levels. NTU levels have not been this high in the Lakeview System since 2008, it said. As turbidity increases, bacteria, viruses and microorganisms can attach themselves to the suspended particles in water. These particles can interfere with disinfection by shielding the microorganisms from the chlorine used by the city as a disinfectant. Turbidity levels are constantly monitored by cit staff through a remote monitoring system and the average turbidity currently remains at 1.3 NTUs.
The project manager for the provincial study of Highway 97 between north Kelowna and south of Peachland says the public will see options for a second crossing of Okanagan Lake in the fall. Ross Coates, who gave Kelowna city council an update on the three -year project Monday, confirmed the project team intends to unveil second crossing options when it holds its next round of open houses later this year. “We are beginning to explore potential second crossing alignments,”said Coates. He said with information garnered from the public,as well as local government and other stakeholders,the Central Okanagan Planing Study, or COPS as it isknown, is beginning to take shape and feedback on the options will be welcomed. As part of its information gathering, the COPS team has derived a number of key statistics about the use of the existing W.R. Bennett Bridge that they say will influence its second crossing option decisions. They include 96 per cent of trips across the bridge start and end in the Central Okanagan,

Public notice Notice of lease of land
The City of Kelowna gives notice that it intends to lease the lands located at 3770 Bulman Road, legally described as PID: 012-349-534, Lot A District Lot 122 and Section 11 Township 23 Osoyoos Division Yale District Plan 40375, and all buildings located thereon, more commonly known as the Shadow Ridge Golf Club, to Monaghan Golf Inc. for a term of 5 years, beginning on Nov. 1, 2016 and ending on Oct. 31, 2021. As consideration for the lease, Monaghan Golf Inc. will pay to the City annual rent in the amount of $90,000.00 plus 5% of all revenues derived from the operation of the leased premises, excluding revenues generated from food and beverage sales.

a figure that is up from 85 per cent when information was gathered for use of the previous Okanagan Floating Bridge in 1994. Also,more than twothirds of the trips across the bridge are between Kelowna and Peachland, West Kelonwa and the WFN lands. Coats told council the W.R. Bennett Bridge is not not being used as much as was predicted prior to it being built in 2008 but the number is not far off the prediction.
Only four per cent of traffic using the bridge passes through the Central Okanagan for points north and east. The study has also found what most drivers who use the bridge everyday already know, while traffic volumes on the bridge may be the highest, congestion is the worst on the highway leading to it on each side of the lake. “This realization has caused us to think hard about what the role of the provincial highway
is,”he said.”Especially in urban areas.” In response to question from Mayor Colin Basran, Coates said the COPS team is looking at multi-modal forms of transportation on Highway 97 through the Central Okanagan, not just focussing on vehicles. Basran asked if a “major” investment into the transit along the highway was being considered by the study team. Coates such options were being factored in.

HOTEL TAX
Kelowna tourism marketing program needs more money Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com
Staying in a hotel in Kelowna will be a little more expensive next year. That’s because Kelowna city council has given the green light to increase the city’s hotel room tax to three per cent from the current two per cent. The hotel room tax, in place in Kelowna since 2004, generated nearly $1.85 million in the last year, and according to a city staff report, it will raise just under $3 million per year once the increase is fully implemented in 2017-18. The money is used by Tourism Kelowna to market the city as a tourist destination. The additional funds will help expand its advertising reach to areas not currently being heavily marketed, but where Tourism Kelowna says there is great potential—eastern Canada and and the western U.S. Tourism Kelowna’s Nancy Cameron said the area have great potential in large part because of direct and
indirect flights to and from Kelowna International Airport. In order to increase hotel room tax, which is administered by the city and passed on to Tourism Kelowna for use, a majority of hotel,motel and other accommodation operators must approve the move. Cameron said raising the tax by one per cent has the support of 55.4 per cent of local operators representing more then 80 per cent of the rooms available in the city. Last year, the provincial government changed the legislation governing hotel room taxes in B.C. to allow municipalities to approve a one per cent increase. Prior to approval, Mayor Colin Basran asked Cameron if Kelowna was alone in doing so. She said no. The Tourism Kelowna CEO said while Vancouver is the only municipality that has now implemented the increase, several others have approved the move and are awaiting implementation. And others are at the same stage in the process as Kelowna.
Premier signs on as participant in Okanagan Pride Society walk Alistair Waters awater@kelownacapnews.com
This year’s Okanagan Pride Society We Are One Pride March already has Kelowna-Lake Country MP Stephen Fuhr ready to act as parade marshal— and now it has B.C.’s premier as well. Pride festival organizers have announced Christy Clark will walk in the annual march, the first time a B.C. premier has participated. The march will go Aug. 13, starting at 11 a.m. from Stuart Park downtown winding its way to City Park, site of this year’s Pride Festival. “We were thrilled to find out she wanted to march with us,” said Okanagan Pride Society president Sydney Lawson. “Our theme this year is We Are One. With
Christy Clark
everything thing that’s been going on in the world, to have her show her support and attend is amazing.” The march and festival will take place in the Kelowna part of Clark’s Westside-Kelowna riding. “We all know politics is tough, so for her to show her support of the LGBTQ+ community and being able to do it here with us, well, we are very pleased to have her,” said Lawson. The premier is not
expected to speak at the event and it is not clear if she will attend any of the festival activities after the march. But Lawson said she hopes Clark will stick around for a little while. “Many people believe that Pride is just about the LGBTQ+ community but it is for anyone who understands the importance of equality and safe communities for all,” said Lawson. “It’s about celebrating diversity and inclusion.” The march and festival are two of the all-ages free events held during Pride week. In addition to Fuhr and Clark, the mayors of Kelowna and Penticton, Colin Basran and Andrew Jakubeit respectively, have both confirmed they will also walk in the march.

standing, listening to her friend and as he shared his winning strategy. “He was with me the whole time and then in the last 500 metres he was, like, ‘bye,’” she said, shaking her head in mock outrage. Taking the sting out of the loss, is the fact that they both shaved a lot of time off their personal bests. Ogilvie said he made the distance in 43:27, significantly besting last year’s time of 51:04. Merckx arrived at 43:38, compared to last year’s time of 47:47. There were lots of personal bests at the event that brought 235 swimmers to Peachland. Event organizer Valentina Miller said that number in itself was a record breaker. “We had 156 registered for the 3.1 km swim and 81 doing the 7 km swim— each year we have 60 to 70 more people participating,” Miller said. The reason for its
continual growth, Miller said, is likely tied to the continued success of the Across the Lake Swim in Kelowna. “It gets bigger every year, and when people finish it they want to do something (bigger) so they do this,” she said. Buying entry into both events also comes with a discount, she added. While competition against oneself and one’s peers may be what drives growth in the event, its success has an effect on the entire community. The Across the Lake Society, which has run the Peachland event for three years, donates the proceeds to the YMCA, which offers water safety lessons for Grade 3 kids in the Central Okanagan School District. “We’re in lake country and kids need to know how to swim, and be safe,” said Miller. The official results can be found at rattlesnakeislandswim. com/results.
Kelowna RCMP have released the name of the suspect taken into custody following an early morning shooting on Aug. 2 in West Kelowna. Tyrone Reynolds McGee of West Kelowna has been been charged with several firearms related offences, according to police. McGee was remanded into police custody and faces further potential charges related to the shooting. The victim continues to recover from his injuries. He was sent to hospital suffering from serious injuries after being shot several times, said the RCMP. The shooting occurred Aug. 2, around 10 p.m. West Kelowna RCMP said they responded to a report of a shooting that occurred on Hudson Road near Highway 97. Initial information gathered at the scene indicated the victim met with a man on a bike who produced a firearm and fired multiple rounds into the victim’s vehicle. During the confrontation the suspect was struck by the vehicle. A perimeter was established and a RCMP police dog was brought in to assist with a search for the suspect. “The suspect was located by officers, along with the police dog Ice, hiding in the immediate area and suffering from injuries believed to be
non-life threatening in nature,” said Const. Jesse O’Donaghey. “The RCMP believe this was a targeted incident, not a random attack,” O’Donaghey added. The suspect, a 29-yearold West Kelowna man, remains in police custody.

OUR VIEW
Time to stop hot dogging it There’s nothing better than the dog days of summer. Life seems brighter when the sun shines. There is more fun to be had under blue skies. Kids and adults alike splashing in pools, floating on lakes, camping and exploring in what feels like the most carefree days of the year. But when that temperature soars to the high 20s and into the 30s, it seems, for some, their brain gets fried with the heat, along with their skin if they aren’t using sunscreen. The police and SPCA routinely report that when the weather warms, their calls for service rise with the temperatures. For people who continue to leave their pets in hot cars, not only are they putting the canines in danger, but it also ties up police resources as well. Too often, there still seems to be this misconception out there from seemingly dog-adoring people, that our canine friends need to go everywhere with us. They don’t. Don’t bring your dog for a car ride to the grocery store, don’t just ‘run in’ to grab a few things at the mall. Don’t go do some banking with Fido waiting in the car. Even in the shade, with the windows rolled down, the vehicle can heat up to more than 35 degrees in just minutes. Dogs don’t have the ability to sweat. Your dog, if it could talk, would ask to be left at home, to loyally await your return with a wag of the tail, a bark and a lick. The alternative is possibly killing your bestfriend by causing your canine to suffer unrecoverable heatstroke. The six dogs that died of heatstroke should have been the biggest wake up call. Sadly, it wasn’t. Why don’t you take the no hot dogs pledge online at nohotpets.ca?

Missing women inquiry pre-determined The federal government’s National Inquiry into Victoria News Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls is preparing to get TOM underway in September. FLETCHER With five commissioners led by B.C. judge Marion Buller and a budget that has swelled by a third to $54 million before it even starts, this inquiry has one big advantage over all the previous studies of Canada’s intractable problems of poverty and violence in aboriginal communities. In this case, the politicians all agree what the outcome is going to be. They’ve been saying so for months, since the Justin Trudeau government got elected on this and other passionate, if questionable, promises. Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould, a member of the We Wai Kai Nation on the B.C. coast, a former Crown prosecutor and chair of the B.C. Treaty Commission, announced the terms of reference last week. She stressed the inquiry will not attempt to retry cold cases, but examine the “root causes” of the high numbers of missing and murdered women. Next up was Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett, who has no doubt what those “root causes” are: racism, sexism and the lingering effects of colonialism. Bennett has been meeting steadily with grieving families since being appointed, and now accepts racist, indifferent cops are the main “root cause.” She explained this conclusion from New York in April, while attending a Women of the World summit. It’s an “uneven application of justice,” she told The Globe and Mail, a phrase we’ll hear again and again. “You end up with people who have been told it’s an overdose, or a suicide or an accident. The RCMP have reported close to 1,200 unsolved cases of murdered or missing indigenous women since

1980, a figure Bennett scoffs at. What’s her evidence? She’s talked to families and knows it’s“way more”than that. One of the previous inquiries was by a United Nations official, James Anaya, in 2014. He noted the alarming statistics of education outcome and violent offences against women, and referred to 660 cases documented by the Native Women’s Association of Canada. He also described being besieged by demands for a national inquiry, as he went through the stacks of studies already done. “Since 1996,” Anaya wrote in his UN report, “there have been at least 29 official inquiries and reports dealing with aspects of this issue, which have resulted in over 500 recommendations for action.” As the latest inquiry was being launched, Perry Bellegarde, the current Assembly of First Nations national chief, recited Bennett’s speaking points about the conclusions it will reach. He told CTV the problem is vastly under-reported because “…oh, it’s an accidental death. Oh, it’s a suicide.” Then he called for more money for housing and other programs from the failed Indian Act system. There are several glaring factors that apparently will not be discussed, because they fall outside the politically correct boundaries of this pre-determined narrative. One is the even more alarming number of aboriginal men and boys who are victims of violent crime. Another is the rate of domestic abuse reported by indigenous women, which Statistics Canada estimated this year at about 10 per cent of their population. That’s three times the national average, but was not mentioned amid the demands for justice at the inquiry. Another key issue forbidden from discussion is the social and economic viability of remote communities. Some of them haven’t been able to maintain clean water and safe housing, much less education and employment, despite billions in spending every year.

letters______________________________________________ WEST KELOWNA
Stop overbuilding at Goats Peak To the editor: The reason I bought property on Gellatly Road South was because it was a quiet country peaceful area with a gravel road. Pheasants trotted across the back yard,deer eating the tulips and drinking out of the stream in the summer, and lots of quail running through the bushes. Today, they want to develop Goats Peak with 1,000 homes. They say they are leaving a wildlife corridor, but I saw a doe and two fawns come down through there yesterday to drink from Powers Creek. They will eventually be blocked by all these houses. Some people think this is progress. There is also a development with four-storey buildings across from Goats Peak and right beside my front door. There are problems already with traffic coming out of The Cove and right beside it is a large development with three- storey condos. We have traffic emerging from Whitworth Road and from The Point. This is a rural road. There is also a proposed development for the gravel pit, which is just up the road form the four-storey one next to me and Glen Canyon fully developed next to it
We already have very noisy motorcycles and trucks speeding up this narrow road. Motorcyclists who stand back on their back wheel and then gun it to see how far they can go before they come down on two wheel. The noise is terrific. Speeding is the worst problem. I asked the developers for Goats Peak about water and was told me they were using a spring. We don’t know how much ground water is available. Residents up top of of Glenrosa ran out of water a few years ago. Does this tell these guys anything? They don’t really want to think about it because by then they will be laughing all the way to the bank. Surely council needs to put some restrictions on all this development so close together on a narrow country road. Not only that but I hope they are able to plan ahead and think about climate change and lack of water supply because we do rely on the snow pack, which is becoming less every year. Traffic in West Kelowna is horrendous, bumper to bumper trying to get into Kelowna practically any time of the day. Many of my friends avoid going out on the roads because it is too dangerous.
Tourists say thanks for help
BAD DRIVING HABITS
To the editor: Don’t know if you do this kind of thing or not but we would like to say a huge thank you to the lovely young couple and their beautiful two-year-old who came across us yesterday after our car broke down near Crazy Creek outside Revelstoke. We are from Edinburgh, Scotland, doing a home exchange with a couple from Kelowna and could not get our mobile phone to work. Our knights in shining armour gave us a lone of their phone to call for assistance and helped to push the car off the road into a safer position. The traffic was unbelievably heavy and doing 100 kms an hour, which was pretty terrifying. They also stayed with us for quite some time and also offered to give us a lift to Salmon Arm. Just to let you know that within a couple of hours Frank arrived with his tow truck and took us to Vernon keeping us entertained all the way. You were all so helpful and kind when we were stressed out. Many thanks again. Catriona and George Pomphrey Saughtonhall Gardens, Edinburgh, Scotland
To the editor: Like most drivers that obey the provincial traffic regulations, I am not too impressed with those drivers that do not heed the traffic laws. On a daily basis I can count between six to 10 traffic offences committed by other drivers. These poor driving habits not only happen in West Kelowna but throughout the Okanagan Valley. The driving offences range as follows: 1) failing to signal 2) following too closely 3) speeding 4) failing to obey traffic control device 5) failing to stop for posted stop sign 6) failing to stop for pedestrian at marked crosswalk 7) racing 8) dangerous driving Just recently on June 19 after fuelling my vehicle at the gas station at Elliot and Highway 97 in West Kelowna, I had been trying to exit for about 45 seconds when a gold colour van made a left turn from Elliot onto Highway 97. The van headed straight for the gas station exit rather than use the legal entrance. The female driver of the van made the usual rude hand and facial gestures and kept inching her vehicle towards the front bumper of my show car. Rather than engage in an argument or further tirade, I backed up and let the van through. Apparently the gas station manager is awaiting advice from their corporate office on how to handle illegal entry. Seems pretty straight forward to me—install signage. On Wednesday, June 27, I was driving southeast on Lower Glenrosa Road, approaching the four-way stop sign at Paynter Road and Delray Road. About a half block before I reached the stop sign intersection, I could see a Jeep-type vehicle driving along Paynter Road at high speed. I said to myself that this Jeep vehicle is not going to stop. Sure enough, it ran right through the four-way stop sign intersection without any attempt to slow down.
Councillor needs to visit Hein Road To the editor: I’d like to know what Kelowna city councillor, Gail Given is smoking when she said on a television interview today that Hein Road is much better now than it was in the past. How would she know? City councillors never come to Hein Road and continually ignore the problems there. They are in total denial. Last Friday, someone was shot and killed. I guess that is an improvement as the other drive-by shooting didn’t kill anyone. Apparently, one less druggy is an improvement in her eyes. Beverly Kehler, Kelowna
Can you imagine how much more there will be with all this new development? If I wanted to drive bumper to bumper I would live in Vancouver. Please don`t do that to West Kelowna. Why are we allowing people to build 5,000 square-foot and bigger homes with five bathrooms and three garages? I thought we were trying to get people out of cars. There is a house on Gellatly Road that always has five or six vehicles parked in the driveway. Council needs to read Colapse, a book by Jared Diamond, to understand why past civilizations failed and I think they would realize they are making the same mistakes. So it is true, history repeats itself. Where are our conservationists and naturalists clubs? We desperately need to consider what we are doing to this valley and stop destroying this semi desert area which has some unique species. Please save something for future generations so we may survive and enjoy all the pleasure we now take for granted. Elaine Bunge, West Kelowna

Local drivers ignore laws According to the RCMP, they do not have enough manpower for a dedicated enforcement unit, hence they rely on employing RCMP reserve constables a few days a week for sporadic enforcement.

Act fast to deal with snake bites to your pets The hot summer weather is probably one of the most significant factors making the Okanagan Valley so unique and an attractive area for residents and tourists. We are now in the prime of summer, enjoying a variety of outdoors activities and plenty of camping. However, one must remember that humans are not the only beings staying active in the warm outdoors. Amongst other wildlife, one of the animal encounters likely to occur in this season is with snakes. Snakes are cold blooded creatures, meaning they hibernate during the cold winter season, and are active during the warm seasons —spring and summer. There are a few types of snakes in our area, but only one type is
Furry Friends DR. MOSHE OZ venomous, the Western Rattlesnake. The Western Rattlesnake ranges between 0.6 cm and 1.2 meters in length. It can be easily recognized by its two unique physical characteristics: a triangular-shaped head and a thick tail ending in a series of rattles. The rattlesnake body colour is tan to pale green, with a series of dark brown to olive ovals along its back. The distinctive head has two holes located below the nostrils connecting to a heat sensing organ (heat pits) which are used to sense the presence of prey. The eyes have
distinct vertical “cat’s eye” pupils. Rattlesnakes hibernate in communal dens on rocky hillsides. In the spring, they disperse through grasslands and forests to areas with rodent populations. There is one more type of large snake in our area that can be mistaken for the rattlesnake, the Great Basin Gopher Snake (also known as the bull snake). The gopher snake is not venoumous. It is the largest snake in our area, reaching up to 1.8 meters Its colour is light tan with dark-brown markings. Along the back are dark rectangular patches (opposed to the oval or round markings on a rattlesnake). The head is small with a dark line running through the eye and over the forehead. The eyes are pale with a dark
round pupil. Their tail tapers gradually to a thin point. The gopher snake may bite if it feels threatened but its bite isn’t venomous. One must understand that all snakes, the rattlesnake included, are shy creatures that do everything they can to stay out of the way. Snakes cannot hear but are very sensitive to vibrations. If a snake feels something large approaching like a human or a dog walking on a trail its first reaction is to hide. It may also shake its rattles to warn you of its presence. A rattlesnake bites nonprey only as a last resort when it is close to being stepped on, or when another animal gets too close. A snake encounter is something that has to stay in pet owners’ minds. Dogs suffering from snake bites are something
I, as a veterinarian, have to deal with quite often during the warm weather season. In fact, in the last week alone, we literally saved a dog’s life at the clinic after it was been bitten by a snake. Dogs are curious creatures and this factors in to their encounters with rattlesnakes and make it especially dangerous because they tend to get too close to the snake, and get bitten on their faces or necks. The reaction to the venom is a severe inflammation and swelling. The swelling of the face and neck can lead to breathing difficulties. If you suspect your dog was bitten by a snake, rush it to your vet. Unfortunately antivenom is extremely expensive and not readily available, but other medical means and respiratory support,
if needed, are being used in order to control the tissue injury caused by the venom. The prognosis of healing from a snake bite depends of three factors—the location of the bite, the concentration of the venom (the earlier the season, the more concentrated the venom is) and how long after the bite the medical treatment was given. Immediate intervention and care improve the outcome of the treatment. As for prevention, the key is control. When walking your dog, always keep it on a leash. As for your own yard, the rule of thumb is that if a mouse can invade, so can a snake. However, unlike mice , which can chew their way in, snakes rely on existing holes and unsealed gaps. Most access points are

just above the foundation of the house or in basement window wells. Another common entry point is under basement doors. Make sure all of these areas are sealed. A special snake-proof fence is also available. The best time to snake-proof your house is from late fall to early spring when snakes are in their dens and unlikely to be in the building or under siding. Unfortunately, despite all safety measurments, dog-snake encounters can can still happen and can be fatal to your pet. I was fortunate to be able to save a dog’s life thanks to its responsible owner who brought him in right away. Being mindful and proactive towards avoiding a snake encounter is the first step in protecting your beloved pet. However, if your pet has a sudden severe swelling on its body, don’t hesitate and rush to the vet. Better be safe than sorry. Dr. Moshe Oz runs the Rose Valley Veterinary Hospital in West Kelowna.

DeQuervain’s syndrome involves the abductor pollicis longus tendon and extensor pollicis brevis tendon.
Keeping You Moving KRISTA SMITH These tendons connect muscles in your forearm to bones in your thumb. To help reduce excessive friction, these tendons travel in a tendon sheath. When a high load is placed on these tendons, such as a repetitive movement of the
thumb or wrist, it can result in a thickening of the tendons and the sheath. Initially, symptoms are usually only present with certain aggravating activities, but if this injury continues to worsen you may experience pain at rest, swelling and tenderness at the base of your thumb and wrist. Rest is the first step to treating de Quervain’s syndrome.
This is often difficult when we use our wrist and thumb dexterity for so many daily activities. For this reason, it is not uncommon to see people who have had this condition for weeks to months at a time, with no significant change in symptoms. As a general rule, try to avoid any positions or movements that cause pain. A protective splint may provide some benefit in the initial stages of healing to help
immobilize the wrist and thumb. Physiotherapy can help treat this injury using a combination of education, modalities, manual therapy, soft tissue techniques and a progressive home exercise program. Since the tendons and sheath are often aggravated by repetitive movement or prolonged positions of the thumb and wrist, it also may be necessary to address your home or work ergonomics.

When possible, modify to a neutral thumb and wrist position and take frequent breaks from your activity. De Quervain’s syndrome usually begins with a gradual onset of symptoms, often when a new movement or activity is introduced that places increased demands on the tissue. An example is a mother with the new task of repetitively picking up a newborn baby. Physiotherapy can be quite helpful in the management of this condition.
If you experience pain at the base of your thumb as the result of a trauma, such as a fall on an outstretched hand, it is advisable that you follow up with your doctor to determine if further investigations, such as an x-ray, are required prior to starting physiotherapy.

Art exhibit: Grapes and Tortillas Mexican seasonal agricultural workers focus of art exhibition by Deborah Koenker at Kelowna Art Gallery. With a bounty of fresh fruit being offered at local markets and stands across the Okanagan Valley at this time of year, have you ever stopped to consider just how it all gets there? A new exhibition at the Kelowna Art Gallery focuses on the 2,000 temporary agricultural workers from Mexico hired each year by the Okanagan Valley’s fruit orchards, vineyards, and
plant nurseries. The installation is entitled Deborah Koenker: Grapes and Tortillas. It is intended by the artist as a tribute to and a celebration of the hard work and the personal sacrifices of these migrant workers. Visitors can explore the varied aspects of Koenker’s immersive installation, including 160 photographic
portraits of these men and women, as well as a giant curtain made from orchard netting threaded with 2,000 coloured ribbons—a visual reference to Mexican shrines and acknowledgement of the number of workers here. In addition, there is a nod to a Mexican kitchen that also serves to convey the story of Doña Vicky, an activist from Oaxaca. Also, viewers will see a shrine-like area, centred on an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, who is the patron saint of Mexico, and an 80-foot long Tortilla
Wall piece comprised of photographs strung together with barbed wire, which is accompanied by quotations from a poem called 187 Reasons Mexicanos Can’t Cross The Border by Juan Felipe Herrera, the current U.S. poet laureate. Koenker is a Vancouver-based interdisciplinary artist with interests in writing and curatorial projects. She has an extensive record of exhibitions in Canada, the United States and Mexico. The exhibition is accompanied by a richly illustrated, 152-page, full-
colour catalogue with four texts. To complement this exhibition, a Fiesta Mexicana has been scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 18, from 7 to 9 p.m. The public is invited for an evening of celebration to enjoy the company of Sandy Diaz Hart, activist and co-founder of the El Faro Society (For Agricultural Workers in the Okanagan), along with some of the workers. Deborah Koenker: Grapes and Tortillas will be on view until Oct. 30 at the art gallery, 1315 Water St.
Some of the photographs that are included in the new Kelowna Art Gallery exhibition Deborah Koenker: Grapes and Tortillas. It will run until Oct. 30. A Fiesta Mexicana event will take place Thursday at the art gallery to celebrate the exhibition opening.

Blue Moon Marquee consists of the duo A.W. Cardinal and Jasmine Colette. CONCERT Blue Moon Marquee Wednesday, Aug. 10 8 pm. Fernando’s Pub 279 Bernard Ave. Kelowna Hailing from the badlands of the Rocky Mountain prairies, Blue Moon Marquee is a selfstyled gypsy blues band. This duo writes and performs original compositions influenced by early blues, swing, and ragtime. A.W. Cardinal, a Metis of Cree heritage, sings with a distinctive thick and smoky vocal while playing a jazz-tinged blues guitar. Her partner Jasmine Colette is the rhythm section. Released on June 17,
Blue Moon Marquee’s Gypsy Blues album has already made an impact on the campus and community radio charts and has been getting positive reviews from music critics for bringing together jazz, old-timey country, folk, ragtime and vaudeville all under one musical sound. ) Originally from Alberta and now based in Duncan, the duo have been steadily touring for the last four years. In 2016, they were the most requested Canadian band for the 2016 International Jazz festival circuit across Canada. CONCERT Phantom of the Villa Aug. 26-27; Sept. 2-3 Vibrant Vine Estates Winer
The Vibrant Vine Estates Winery will host its annual performance of the Phantom of the Villa as part of the winery’s popular summer Courtyard Concert Series. An elegant affair fashioned after the Glyndebourne Festival in England, guests dress up and stroll the award winning estate gardens overlooking Kelowna. Winery owners Wyn and Marion Lewis continue to seek out unique cultural experiences. “This is a very special annual outing with friends,” said Lewis of Phantom of the Villa. “It is an annual event that can’t be missed.” This summer, the number of performances of Phantom of the Villa has doubled to four, starring local opera star Melina Moore (soprano), and internationally renowned tenor Peter Karrie accompanied by pianist, Carol Colpitts. Moore, Karrie and Colpitts have toured this show for a number of years, featuring the music of Phantom Of The Opera as well as Les Misérables and a blend of popular operatic and musical theatre favourites. Moore, a native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, grew up in New York City and received her undergraduate training at The Juilliard School. A vocal performance major at the Fiorello H.
LaGuardia High School of Music & Art, Moore made her operatic debut as Susanna in The Marriage of Figaro with LaGuardia’s Bel Aria Opera Company in 1995. Among the honors she has received are a full academic scholarship to Columbia University, a tuition scholarship to the Juilliard School of Music and the Lucrezia Bori Grant for operatic and interpretive study and performance at the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, Argentina. A versatile high-lyric coloratura, with a love of musical theatre as well, Moore has performed in opera houses worldwide, and on and off Broadway. Peter Karrie’s voice has been showcased in many of the greatest theatrical successes in contemporary musical theatre, the highlight of which must be his highly acclaimed portrayal of The Phantom in Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber’s record breaking musical The Phantom of the Opera. Karrie first played The Phantom at Her Majesty’s Theatre, London before going on to play the role in Toronto, Singapore, Hong Kong, Vancouver and the Millennium tour of Great Britain. “The magic of this event is in the combination of the location, the music, and the artistic expertise,” said Lewis. “This creates an experience that is fundamentally different

Rann Berry’s new musical tribute show Soul Of Motown Revue brings a funky new attitude from his previous music revival stage productions. The new show will include two sunken dance floors on either side of the stage. “Typically at our theatre shows people want to get up and dance, but in a theatre setting they end up blocking the view of some of the audience and the ushers end up escorting the dancers back to there seats,” Berry said. “This scenario plays out throughout the show and becomes a bit of a distraction, and a disappointment for the people who just feel like d dancing.” Berry approached theatre manager Randy Zahara with the idea of creating an area where people could dance, but not interfere with the show, or block anyone’s pview. The plan involves removing two side sections of the stage which will create two sunken dance floor area’s. Berry’s Motown show also comes up with a 10-piece band delivering an array of Motown classics from the 1960s and ‘70s. Tickets available at e selectyourtickets.com or l call 250-762-5050 .

We can’t wait to see all of our Canadian fans again soon,” said Vesperia lead singer Morgan Rider.
The band is currenty finishing up a followup album to their 2015 debut EP The Iron Tempests.

It’s a group of imprisoned (mostly by Batman) baddies who are recruited by a secret government agency to execute a dangerous black ops mission against an unknown but powerful threat in exchange for clemency. However, none are actually expected to survive, especially since each are implanted with an explosive device just in case they decide to escape. The villains include Deadshot (Will Smith), Joker (Jared Leto), Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie),

PRACTICAL AND FINANCIAL ISSUES
Siblings sharing caregiving duties Today’s adult children and their parents are going through a new kind of family transition. With the increasing longevity of parents into their 80s and 90s, often experiencing chronic illnesses, their adult children may be involved in caring for them for up to a decade or more. Siblings, and in some cases step-siblings, may not have a roadmap for caregiving that will help them deal with the many practical and financial issues that go with it. How to interact as mature adults through the often emotional and challenging issues that

Engaging in Aging MARJORIE HORNE present themselves, can be an opportunity for the growth of one’s character, not something you really think about until you are in it. My three sisters and I are able to laugh at ourselves more easily now than we used to on how we tend to slip into our old roles when we all get together, even though we can behave very differently when we are with other people or functioning in our regular work or home lives. Dynamics and family patterns are sure to emerge as siblings face the need to come together more intimately when the declining health of one or both parents is surfacing. It helps to check in with yourself with a sense of
inquiry to see if you are feeling yourself being pulled into an old pattern of behaviour that you played out in the family mobile and question what reactions that may be triggering. Whatever the old roles were, it serves you to reexamine them now. Don’t look to one sibling to be the peacemaker or to mom or dad, who often cannot fulfill this role anymore. It helps if everyone takes responsibility for being mature and the platform of family caregiving is the perfect motivator. Creating a way to keep the lines of communication open takes some work and strong intention. Keep in mind that parents can often tell their kids different things about how they are doing. Trying to keep everyone
on the same page takes each person recognizing that it is time to let go of old ways and be committed to honest, direct communication and understanding of how the vulnerability of aging and loss can affect a parent’s behaviour. This commitment can only start with each sibling’s desire to do it differently, then get on the train and participate fully with this clear intention. Four women, somewhat mature but still influenced by the past, had to each bring this commitment to our own family journey of caregiving first of our father and then our mother. It took letting go of our defenses and being willing to listen, listen and then listen some more. What is the outcome? You understand each other better and you also come to understand yourself and your vulnerabilities in a new

way. And in between all of it, there is great pride in being able to help your parent and feel satisfaction that you are doing something very important and valuable. Bonnie Lawrence, with the Family Caregiver Alliance, offers some clues to help you recognize when you are acting out of emotional needs or entering a battlefield of old patterns or behaviours. Be watchful when: 1) Your level of emotion is out of proportion to the specific thing being discussed in the moment about the needs of your parent. 2) You or your siblings criticize the way you think another person is being, for example selfish, bossy, uncaring, irresponsible, or worse. 3) You feel that none of your siblings understands what Mom needs the way you do and you are the only one who can do certain things. 4) You or your siblings generalize a discussion, saying, for example: “You always do this!” 5) You or your siblings criticize the way one another feels, for example: “You don’t care anything about Mom.” When having a family meeting to open up dialogue about your caregiving of a parent, there are a few basic ground rules. If you can’t all meet in person, a skype conference call is a good option. Start with an agreement. Start your discussion with the common ground you share. Sometimes just agreeing that the discussion will be hard is a good place to start. Ask a sibling to help you understand his or her side: people want to be heard—if they don’t feel heard, frustration rises.

Vernon dentist poised to take a bite out of Kelowna Tyler Perrault, owner and Denturist at Vernon Denture Clinic, has recently opened Kelowna Denture Clinic in the heart of Kelowna’s Spall/Springfield neighbourhood. The reason for the expansion? People were asking for it. “Many of our patients were traveling to our Vernon location from Kelowna, West Kelowna and the even the South Okanagan,” said Perrault. “They were keen for us to open a clinic right in Kelowna, and dentists had been encouraging us to open a clinic there too. “We decided that the
need was large enough for us to take the leap.” In April 2016, Perrault and denturist Stacey MacAulay opened a new and completely customized clinic in Kelowna, featuring four patient rooms, adjustment and sterilization areas, charting rooms, staff spaces and a state-of-theart lab. “Opening day was my birthday too,” noted Perrault, “so that was a pretty amazing present.” With a Pharmasave and other health professionals occupying other units in the same building, KDC offers a convenient
Caregiving for parents HORNE FROM A19 Ask the other person to share their point of view. Asking for input shows that you care and have interest in learning more about how the other person feels. Resist the urge to plan a “comeback” or a rebuttal: your brain cannot listen well and prepare to speak at the same time. Keep a check on your “inner voice” and focus on the person in front of you. Help the other person understand your side, too—describe how you feel, your thoughts, your ideas, and the reasons behind your thought process. Communicate clearly and simply; don’t speak in circles or in code. Move the conversation forward. Find some common ground again. Make a suggestion and then ask for feedback from the other sibling (s). Keep in touch—more attention is needed after a tough conversation. Check back in and see how your sibling (s) feel about the outcome. And remember, life is impermanent. Sharing in caregiving is a door that opens you to your own soul. Don’t miss the opportunity. Marjorie Horne is the owner of Caresmart Seniors Consulting Ltd. 250-863-9577 marjorie@caresmart.ca.
location for busy patients. “It’s a terrific arrangement,” added Perrault. “Our office is on the ground floor and fully accessible. Patients can get to us via public transportation or take advantage of on-site patient parking at the clinic’s entrance. “And the range of services available in the building and across the street at Capri Centre Mall means patients can get a lot done within a small area of the city.” Perrault said the response from the
Okanagan dental community to its newest member has been positive and supportive. “We have had dentists, specialists, oral surgeons and dental labs meet with our staff and tour our clinic,” he said. “They’ve been enthusiastic about the lab we have built and the design of the clinic.” “They tell us it will be a great place to refer patients to. And we couldn’t agree more.” From the general contractor through to the interior design support,
Perrault was keen to support Okanagan businesses with his new venture. In fact, even the artworks are local. “A few years ago I had made a connection with AJ Jaeger, an artist based in Vernon, and really liked her art,” said Perrault. “With our new clinic, I made sure to have enough open space to showcase as many of her pieces as we could.” He’s also providing exposure for a new dental company producing digitally-designed and constructed dentures.
Kelowna-based Perfit have combined intra-oral digital scans and digital milling processes to make “digital” dentures, a unique treatment option now available to KDC patients. “For people with sensitive gag reflexes, the ability to make their denture without taking a physical impression is amazing,” said Perrault. “It’s definitely going to make waves in dentistry.” Perrault’s interest in paying it forward locally began when he met Vernon Denture Clinic
founder Frank Knobel. “Frank recruited me to take over his practice,” reveals Perrault. “He felt I was the right person to replace him and wouldn’t take no for an answer.” That tenacity is something that Perrault says he will be forever grateful for. “Frank gave me a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to move to the most beautiful place to live and work,”said Perrault. “I’m so thankful to him for that.”

Competing for medals in Rio Bronze winner linked to AquaJets Warren Henderson

Taylor Ruck moved away from Kelowna when she was just 10 months old. But despite growing up in Scottsdale, Ariz., the 16-year-old swimmer never lost her connection to the Okanagan or Canada. Ruck, who since childhood wanted to compete for Canada internationally, realized a dream last Saturday in Rio winning her first Olympic medal. Ruck, Sandrine Manville, Chantal Van Landeghem and Penny Oleksiak captured the bronze medal in the women’s 4 by 100 freestyle relay. “I feel overwhelmed with emotion,” Ruck said of winning bronze. “I got my first Olympic medal and I’m so happy. “I’ve worked so hard for this so many years. It’s definitely amazing. I can’t explain my emotions. I’m just so happy.” While growing up in Arizona, Ruck often visited her grandparents during the summers in Kelowna, while training with the Kelowna AquaJets Swim Club.

sports ___________________________________________________________________ BC FOOTBALL CONFERENCE
Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
After two wins to start 2016 over lowerechelon opponents, the Okanagan Sun was anxious to find out where the club really stood in the bigger picture of the B.C. Football Conference. Ben Macauley’s Sun uncovered at least part of the answer with solid, workmanlike 27-21 win over the Westshore Rebels Saturday night at the Apple Bowl. The unbeaten Sun (3-0) limited the damage by the country’s leading rusher, Jamel Lyles, in handing the upstart Rebels (2-1) their first loss of 2016. “I thought we played a good aggressive game, we did the fundamentals well just like we challenged the guys to do,” said Macauley, the Sun’s rookie head coach. “We blocked, tackled and executed just the way we conceived. “We didn’t need to tell
Brendan Hansen
the guys how important this game was,” he added. “They played with emotion and effort and that was good to see.” With a roster bolstered by former CIS players, the Rebels came into Kelowna on the heels of a pair of convincing victories over the Raiders and Kamloops. Lyles, the BCFC’s leading rusher who played last season at the University of Manitoba, was pretty much held in check in the first half, before finishing the night with 121 yards and a touchdown. “We knew we were going to have our hands

full,” said Macauley. “Tackling and being fundamentally sound were key, and when our guys did that, it frustrated Lyles and the Rebels and we were able to more or less control the game.” With first place on the line, linebacker Layne Hull said the Sun was ready to play, plain and simple. “With came out flying in practise this week, that’s where it all starts,” said Hull, 22. “The coaches studied the film and had us ready to go. “We rallied to the ball and really put a lid on (Lyles), he doesn’t like contact so we did a good job on that. It was a real confidence booster for us.” The Sun jumped on the Rebels early, scoring on their first possession, then watched Raquille Cespedes provide the turning point of the night. Early in the second quarter, the 21-year-old Kelowna product grabbed a missed field goal and raced 120 yards for a major score and a 17-0 Sun lead. The Rebels fought

He’s a really good athlete who made a great play for us.” Macauley said both the Sun’s offensive
and defensive lines provided yeoman’s work throughout the night, with CFL draft pick Quinn Horton dominating on both sides of the ball. “Quinn was unblockable playing defense and was able to push guys around all night on offence. Jonas Gering and Lucas Machado were excellent on the D-line, too.” Foster Martens started at quarterback for the Sun and had a productive night, completing 13 of 18 passes for 186 yards
and a touchdown, while rushing for 59 yards. Brendan Hansen paced the Sun’s running game with 99 yards on 18 carries, and added five receptions for 57 yards, including a touchdown from Martens. With the Vancouver Island Raiders (2-1) up next for the Sun, Macauley likes where his team is at three weeks into the season, but assures improvements can still be made. “We still have things to work on and things we’d
like to do better,” he said. “We’re continuing to get better, we have a good base to work from, now it’s a matter of polishing things up. “Jerome (Erdman) is a good coach, a very intelligent guy,” Macauley said of the Raiders’ head man. “The (Raiders) play with a lot of heart and finish and don’t give up. We expect them to give us their best.” The Sun and Raiders will meet Saturday night at the Apple Bowl. Kickoff is 7 p.m.
KELOWNA FALCONS
Strong fan support for club in ‘16 season Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
While they didn’t qualify for the West Coast League’s postseason, it was a banner year in the stands for the Kelowna Falcons. An average of 1,240 fans attended the 26 games played this season at Elks Stadium. That was up almost 300 from last season and was the most ever in the team’s 16-year history. The Falcons closed out their 2016 WCL season Sunday night
at Elks with a 7-3 loss to the Walla Walla Sweets. Under firstyear head coach Bryan Donohue, the Falcons posted a 12-15 record in the second half of the season and went 25-29 overall in the North Division. On the field in 2016, Lane Lacrone was a notable contributor for the Falcons for the second straight year.
The junior infielder from Colorado Mesa University led the Falcons in games played, at bats, hits (47), RBIs (14) and stolen bases (8). Catcher Bowen Ogata, from Mt. Hood Community College, led the club in hitting with a .304 average. Jake Simmons led the club in wins with five, while Jared Morton was the top closer with

Meanwhile, the first half champs, the Victoria Harbourcats, are taking on the second half winners, the Bellingham Bells, in the North final.The South Division final features the Yakima Valley Pippins and Corvallis Knights.

Kelowna Raiders fall to ‘Rocks
WOMEN’S BASEBALL
Memorable season for Kelowna pitcher Warren Henderson Aside from a gold medal conclusion, Kensi Renneberg couldn’t have asked for much more from the 2016 baseball season. The 16-year-old from Kelowna capped off her most memorable campaign to date with a second-place showing with Team B.C. at the 21U Women’s Invitational Baseball Championship. At the seven-team tournament in Halifax, N.S., Renneberg and her B.C. teammates reached Sunday’s championship final before falling 7-5 to Team Quebec. Renneberg, a righthanded pitcher, threw eight innings during the four-day tourney, including earning the start in the gold medal final where she pitched four innings. It was Renneberg’s third trip to a national tournament with Team B.C. but the first time she’s coming home with a medal. “Honestly, it was incredible,” said Renneberg, who went to nationals twice previously with B.C.’s 16U program. “I never even been to a medal game at nationals before, let alone won one, so it really feels great.” After losing their first two games, Renneberg was proud of her team’s resiliency in rebounding to win the next two in Halifax. In the semifinal, Team B.C. upset the favoured Ontario team 3-1 in 10 innings. “We lost the first two games, but we knew we had more than what we showed,” she said. “Ontario’s always been a powerhouse and I think they thought they were going to walk over us.

The KSS student made history in May while playing with the Kelowna Sun Devils midget boys’ team. Renneberg became the first ever female pitcher to win a game in B.C. at the 18U AAA level, pitching 5 1/3 innings in a 7-4 win over the South Fraser Giants. She went on to win three games for the Sun Devils during the 2016 season. As much progress as Renneberg made as a player in previous years, she said 2016 stands out above the rest. “I think this was a really important growth year
for me,” said Renneberg, whose dad, Derek, was Team B.C.’s pitching coach. “As a player, I reached some landmarks, there were big stepping stones this year for me. There will be a lot of things from this year I can look back on and remember and build on. It’s been so much fun.” Renneberg will take a few weeks off before beginning her training for the fall season. In February, she’ll join Canada’s national junior program for a camp in Cuba, then return for her second season with the Kelowna Sun Devils next spring. Further down the road, Renneberg hopes to play for the Canadian women’s team at the 2018 World Cup and at the Pan American Games in Lima, Peru.

June 17, 1959 - August 2, 2016 It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce that Mike has left us to join his mother Ellen in Heaven to be with their Lord. Born June 17, 1959 in Kelowna, B.C. to Ellen and Gerry Stewart, Mike grew up the oldest of seven siblings. A good student and an accomplished athlete, he graduated with honours from Immaculata High School in 1977. He studied at UBC and went on to UVIC where he received a degree in Education. He started his teaching career in Terrance, B.C. and then moved to Chilliwack where he was a middle school math teacher for over 24 years. A passionate competitor, especially on the golf course, Mike played by the rules always played to win. Mike was able to share his love of sports with his students by volunteering to coach the school’s golf team, volleyball team and ski teams.

GRUZA, “Elmer” - With broken hearts we announce the sudden passing of Herbie Elmer Gruza at Kelowna General Hospital on August 1, 2016. Elmer is survived by his loving family: wife Sharon Nevison of 22 years, sisters Patricia Slywchuk and Laurie Breton; nephews Darren (Faith) Slywchuk, Todd Slywchuk and niece Cheryl Breton; business partner Robert (Pat) Rapley and many lifelong friends. Elmer was predeceased by: parents Steve and Sophie Gruza; brother and business partner Raymond (a.k.a. Moses) Gruza; nephew Parris Breton; many aunts, uncles and many lifelong friends. Born a farm boy in Prud’homme, SK, on April 9, 1946, he spent many years working long, hard hours on the farm until he moved west with his brother in his late teens. In July of 1969, Elmer, Raymond and Robert met in Calgary and began what would later become Gruza Rapley Construction. Over the years they built houses, apartments and condos both commercial and residential throughout Alberta and British Columbia. The list of local construction jobs was a source of pride for the group that eventually became The Bikers Construction. These included the Jammery, Summerhill Winery, Meadowbrook, Quail Ridge, Water’s Edge, McCullough Station (twice!), Fernbrae Manor, Lakeshore Place, Big White, multiple projects for Culos Developments and even the race track in Vernon, just to mention a few. Over 45 years there are too many to mention and upon completion many projects featured their signature Rooster erected on the rooftop. Elmer was a man who lived on his own terms. His saying was “There’s two ways of doing it, my way and the right way and they’re both the same.” or, “Don’t bother to fight, I’m always right”. He will be remembered by his booming voice and his distinctive laugh. His work was his life, often working seven days a week whether it be building or moving equipment. The weather was never a factor. His heart would race at the sight of a cement truck. Nicknamed “Batman,” he and the crew were known to pour cement into the night until the pour was done. His other passions were his dogs, his horses, old western movies and old western music. He also loved old classic cars and Harley Davidson motorcycles. Elmer was a man of the road and would drive home to Saskatchewan for the weekend. Elmer loved a pig roast and held many to party with good friends. Elmer will be missed. A celebration of life will be held in September 2016. We invite all who knew and loved him to attend and share their stories. Donations in Elmer’s name can be made to the S.P. C.A., local food bank or any charity to help the homeless. Arrangements in care of Everden Rust Funeral Services (250) 860-6440. Condolences can be sent to the family by visiting www.everdenrust.com TRY A CLASSIFIED

Okanagan avoids foreign buyer surtax—for now There has been a lot of talk on the new 15 per cent foreign surtax on home purchasers in the Metro Vancouver area by foreign nationals. A foreign national is defined as someone who is not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. If it is a corporate home buying purchase, a foreign company is one that is not incorporated in Canada, or incorporated in Canada but controlled in whole or part by a foreign national or other foreign corporation. The additional tax in the Metro Vancouver area is payable even if there would normally be an
home purchases more affordable for those living in British Columbia. As it stands, the Okanagan is not affected by the new surtax, but if the government sees a rise in foreign ownership, the property surtax of 15 per cent could come into effect here. From what we hear, there has been money moving into the Kelowna area, from Vancouver and areas, as our home prices are much lower than the coast and a lot more affordable in a price comparison. Here are some stats provided by CMHC for the Kelowna area: • From 2014 to 2015 Kelowna was the fastest growing city in Canada;
those areas. It should be noted that this new tax only applies to residential properties, not commercial. An example given was, should a foreign buyer purchase a home valued at $2,000,000, that borrower would pay an additional $300,000 in the Metro Vancouver area on top of the property transfer tax of one per cent on the first $200,000, two per cent on the remaining value up to $2,000,000 and three per cent on the balance above $2,000,000. The provincial government is hoping to slow the rapid rise in property values in an attempt to make
exemption available. Transfers between related individuals, transmission to surviving joint tenant and other such items also attract the additional tax. The new tax, which is paid along with the property transfer tax, commenced as of Aug. 2. The government will track real estate purchases closely to see if the new tax will determine if foreign buyers will now be looking to purchase in other areas in B.C. According to the B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong, the tax was introduced in other overseas markets and it has leveled the markets in
• Market conditions are moved by higher sales and lower active listings; • The average home price year to date for 2016 is $604,751; • There was a strong gain in new construction in 2016 led by rental apartmens and condominium construction and accounts for the most growth.

MAXINE DEHART
Sallah Tuer is the general manager of the LAURA ladies fashions store which has relocated from Orchard Park Shopping Centre to Banks Road in Kelowna. LAURA ladies fashions have relocated in Kelowna from Orchard Park Shopping Centre to 402-1575 Banks Rd., in the former Bowring facility next to Homesense. The new store is bright, well-appointed and there is loads of parking with easy access to the store. LAURA offers something for every women, no matter how tall or short or what shape you are. All the styles are modern and this year’s new arrivals for fall are wonderful, with colours of corals, navy, lime green, beautiful blue tones and of course the staple black. This new store location now has a devoted dress shop within the store, which is separate from all the other fashions. It makes it easier to shop for what
you are looking for. Look also for handbags and jewelry accessories. I purchased a really cool pair of sun glasses at an exceptional price. With 10 staff, Sallah Tuer is the general manager. The Mortgage Centre has relocated from 1553 Harvey Ave. to 2131579 Sutherland Ave. Irene Wilkinson and Les Yeager are now joined by Carol Dorm and Dwight Folk. Call 250861-4222. The Downtown Kelowna Association has a new board of directors for 2016-17. Congratulations to new president Dan Allen, of Doc Willoughbys. Joining him on the board are Yarden Gershony, Rush Ihas Hardwick LLP (vice-president); Rob Collins, Grant Thornton LLP (treasurer); Angie
Bricker, Georgie Girl Vintage (secretary); Dustin Sargent, Streaming Café (past president); Nikki Csek, Csek Creative; Jason Guyitt, Delta Grand Hotel; Jan Johnson, Tigerlily Fashions; Brent Lobson, Imperial Parking; Jim Meiklejohn, Meiklejohn Architects; Renata Mills, Festivals Kelowna; Trevor Neill, Mosaic Books; and Renee Wasylyk, Troika Developments. I am delighted to be the representative on the board as a liaison for Kelowna city council. Peggy Athans is the executive director of the association. Michelle Corsicana is the new owner of The Kore Dance Project, 1774 Baron Rd., in Kelowna. Formerly known as DanceForce, Corsicana purchased the business from Lynn Deschner, who retired. She is continuing on with the classes that Deschner previously offered, but has added acro and aerial hoop classes this year. She has also hired new teachers. There are not many, if any, dance studios in the area that offer, and also perform or compete with them at dance competitions. Corsicana has been an acro teacher for more than 10 years and she is also certified with Acrobatique. Dance is her passion. Full classes start Sept. 12. Bring-aBuddy week is Oct. 3 to 7. Call 250-712-2202; online thekoredance-

Both formerly of Summit Tools, the two have mounted solar panels to their trailer to charge the batteries that their equipment uses, thus creating less pollution and running quieter as well. The new trend in business is to go green and Graham and Donovan want to be at the front of the pack. They would like to help homeowners and businesses reduce their carbon footprint and offer lawn care, yard cleanups and trips to the dump. Free estimates and senior discounts. EnviroCut is now accepting bookings for next spring 2017. Call 250-470-8163; online envirocutlawn@shaw.ca. Next time you are downtown or at the Town Centre Mall, make sure you stop into Annegret’s Chocolates and grab a gelato cone or cup. It’s incredible. Annegret makes the gelato inhouse with eight per cent fat content. I tried the Mozart Chocolate (hazelnuts) and Quark (raspberry). Then, to top it all off, they asked me to try a scoop of the Cherry Mania. Unbelievable and reasonably priced.

EnviroCut, a new lawn care company, has been started by partners Graham Watson and Donovan Roberts. $8,000 and $10,000 each assist students studying a wide variety of subjects ranging from fine arts and nursing to potential studies at colleges and universities around the world. This is pretty cool. Canadian musicians Robbie G and 3-time Juno and 5-time MMVA winner and 2009’s Canadian Man of the Year, Moka Only, recently visited Kelowna to shoot their new vacation inspired music video. The video was directed by Kelowna resident Matt Bhird (who also works at the Ramada Hotel), a life-long friend of Robbie G and Moka Only. Bhird was honoured to work on such a great project and was eager to showcase the Okanagan Valley to the world. Local chef Mark Filatow, of Waterfront Wines, is competing to become the B.C. champion to represent the province in the Canadian Culinary Championships being held in February in
Kelowna. The qualifying competition is being held in Victoria in November with 10 chefs from B.C. competing. Local company Clearoma Industries recently shipped a load of their proven odour destroying project to several restoration companies working to remediate the damage to homes and offices affected by the recent fires in Fort McMurray. Clearoma president Darrel Bensmiller formerly owned Okanagan Laboratories and Chemac. After their sale he refined the odour destroyer and called it Clearoma. Clearoma distributes to janitorial companies, hotels and retailers. You can purchase it locally at Canadian Tire, Cooper Medical and Fibreclean Supply.

A
Q
Will cleaning the carpet help rid my new home of cigarette smoke?
It is not uncommon to move into a house that is filled with unpleasant odors from the previous owner or tenant. Odors from cooking, animals and smoke are common. Any porous surface will absorb these smells so a thorough cleaning of walls, cabinets, floors and even ducts will help rid your home of this unpleasantness. Don’t forget about the carpet! Oxy-Dry® uses aqueous ozone in the cleaning solution and it will remove most malodors including smoke without leaving any other scent in its place. Visit our website for more information about aqueous ozone. In some cases, it may be necessary to add an organic deodorizer specifically formulated for the removal of smoke smell. We will gladly include this free of charge when required. If you have an odor problem in your home caused by cigarette smoke, call Oxy-Dry®…your Fresh choice®… naturally!
