Moorage sanctuary cut off for houseboats Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

A new deal between the province and the City of Kelowna leaves little for houseboat owners parked in Sutherland Bay to hitch their hopes to, let alone their homes. “For a number of years boats have been trespassing in the bay and as we’ve tried to deal with that, we’ve had limited control as a municipality,” said Doug Gilchrist, the city’s director of real estate and building services. So city staff worked with the province to gain a further-reaching License of Occupation, meaning anyone parked in the city’s expanded jurisdiction this morning will get a notice explaining there will be no more overnight stays in the bay. “The new licence goes over to Poplar Point and over to the mill… it goes into deep water,” said Gilchrist, explaining the boats need a sheltered

During the Monday council meeting, Mayor Sharon Shepherd asked Gilchrist whether there is a long-term moorage solution to the houseboat issue that’s frustrated city staff for years. “There are spaces available,” he said, pointing out the yacht club added 296 slips. City staff are also working on developing two other moorage areas

that should come about in 2012. Conflict between boat owners and the city has been ongoing for years, and the dozen or so houseboat owners who have decided to make Okanagan Lake their home have shifted between Gellatly Bay and Sutherland Bay. They usually become a point of contention when neighbours report partying into the wee hours of the night, obstruction of other boat traffic, and the odd complaint of misuse of waste water. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

▼ TRANSIT

Bus fare hike of 25 cents hard for councillors to swallow Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna politicians peacefully lord over millions of dollars in spend-

r Credit ‘Direct gCoat even aurus Truck-o-vsed’ appro

ing, but a 25 cent increase to transit rates sparked a heated debate Monday. Keith Grayston, director of financial services, supplied city council

with a report that indicated a need to increase transit rates that were initially set in 2007. The city recently learned from BC Tran-

sit that the current $2 fee meant the local cost recovery rate had dropped below 30 per cent and a rate increase could make up the difference.

The problem is, noted some councillors, that the extra cost could be at odds with a previous city mandate. “We made it a priority

to encourage people to get out of their cars and use alternative forms of transportation,” said Coun. Kevin Craig. “Twentyfive cents may not make

or break the monthly budget, but it is another barrier for people getting on the bus.” See Hike A15

Pedestrian struck and killed by SUV at mall parking lot crosswalk A 59-year-old female pedestrian was killed last Friday afternoon after being struck by an SUV while she was in a marked

crosswalk. The victim was transferred to Kelowna General Hospital where she passed away as a result of

her injuries. Police say their initial investigation found that an adult male, age 38 from Kelowna, was behind the

wheel of a 1991 Ford Explorer as it turned left in the parking lot by The Bay bus loop. While making the

turn, his vehicle struck the pedestrian who was walking in the crosswalk. Police say they spoke to the driver and three wit-

nesses at the scene. The investigation continues and charges against the driver of the vehicle are pending, according

to police. Although the investigation continues, alcohol does not appear to be a contributing factor.

▼ KELOWNA ART GALLERY

Art adventure summer camps embolden creative spirit of youth Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS

LIA LAW shows of her rendition of an Avatar: The Last Airbender’s Toph Bei Fong, while Kristian Isa displays his skateboard skeleton design on a bed of red and black.

Kristian Isa really likes how red and black look when combined— but mostly he likes human bones. He likes them individually and he likes them in a skeleton. Whenever he goes to his mother’s office, the skeletal figure is the first place he heads. She’s a doctor, he says. And now he’s a bonafide skater, having designed his own skateboard deck at one of the Kelowna Art Gallery’s summer camps. The camps capture kids’ creative spirit during the very period when many start to become too critical of themselves to continue engaging in summer art projects. Here the kids get as much emphasis as the products that walk out the door at the end of the day. “This is about when they start to think, ‘Oh, I can’t draw. That doesn’t

look right,’” instructor Natalia Hautala explained, noting the 9- to 11-year-olds involved in this particular skateboard camp often just need a little more encouragement to get them going again. Isa, for example, got a good dose of special attention from RSS graduate Talor Osberg, who is also an instructor at the camps this year. The head of public programming at the gallery, Renée Burgess, hires the students to carry out the camp concepts, which she often devises by watching the kids themselves. “Every year they come in they’re into something a bit different,” said Burgess. This summer they’re starting a cartooning camp as the kids have consistently shown an interest in animation, and there’s one camp centred around designing T-shirt graphics. The skateboards were the brainchild of another instructor/art student and

the week-long camp has evolved to include designing the skateboard deck, creating it and even taking in a skate lesson on the very last day from some sponsored riders. For some of the young artists, like 10-year-old Lia Law, painting the underside of a skate deck combined a love of cartoons and the chance to create her own board. She slapped down a fantastic yellow and green likeness of an Avatar the Last Airbender Earthbending master, Toph Bei Fong, who can see everything around her even though she’s blind. Ten-year-old Callam Bondy picked a different kind of favourite. He used the opportunity to turn his new ride into an ode to his favourite food— hypoallergenic chocolate. He’s allergic to wheat and dairy. There is a serious side to Art Adventures Summer Art Camps. While designed to be fun and pre-

serve the creative spirit, the camp experience also gets kids accustomed to the art gallery environment and hopefully helps to include the space in their lexicon of regular haunts to explore. Priced from $70 for preschool mini camps to $165 for a full-day, fiveday week, it’s also intended to be affordable. The art gallery accesses federal funding for the instructors and spends a good deal of time sourcing products, like the skate decks, to keep the experience as budget-conscious as possible. Information on Art Adventures can be found on the Kelowna Art Gallery web site www.kelownaartgallery.com. Art Adventures runs through to the end of August and includes everything from a round-the-world art knowledge camp to cartooning and learning about circus elements and crazy cartoons. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Gay Pride Festival flag will be flying from Kelowna City Hall flagpole Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna City Hall will fly a rainbow flag next month, putting a definitive and colourful end to a bigotry-tinged moment in the city’s history. Dustyn Baulkham, chairperson of the upcoming pride festival, announced Monday that the flag that flies around

the world as a symbol of diversity and inclusiveness, will be mounted outside Kelowna City Hall, Aug. 8 to 15. “We’re really excited it’s going to be flying this year,” said Baulkhamm, adding it’s pretty common fare for most cities now to fly the pride flag for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning community during their pride

festivities. What’s a bit different about Kelowna, however, is that pride week, and all associated with it, was something that once earned the city some dubious distinctions. In 1997, then-mayor Walter Gray refused to proclaim Gay and Lesbian Pride Day as requested by the Okanagan Rainbow Coalition, and instead pro-claimed simply Gay

and Lesbian Day. The matter was the subject of a human rights tribunal that found the former mayor discriminated on the basis of sexual orientation, which is against the B.C. Human Rights Code. The city then put an end to all proclamations, until Mayor Sharon Shepherd was elected in 2005 and they once again

became the norm. “We’ve had great support from the city over the last couple of years,” said Baulkham. Both this year and last, the society that runs the pride festival has been given funding to run the event in addition to a regular proclamation being signed. Last year there was even a chance that the flag was going

to fly, but a gap in city policy slowed the process. “This year council adopted an official flag raising policy, so when I heard that I put in an application and they approved it,” he said. Okanagan Pride week is run by the Okanagan Rainbow Coalition. A variety of events are being run in the Kelowna area from Aug. 10 to 13.

Lobby group wants revitalization as election priority Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Candidates for Kelowna’s upcoming municipal election should have a passion for downtown revitalization or they have no business entering the race, say members of a loosely formed lobby group with a pro-develop-

ment bent. “This should be the priority No. 1,” said Craig Kelley, from the group, Save Downtown Kelowna, pointing out that the area between Lawrence and Harvey Avenue is in a serious state of disrepair. “It should decide who gets on council and who doesn’t…and we’ll do

anything in our power to make sure anybody who isn’t pro-development, doesn’t get elected.” Kelley, along with two others, came together last April out of frustration with the current council’s decision to kill the contentious CD-21 Zone plan in the 11th hour. Since then, they’ve

point, Kelley has had years of listening to tourists complain about the state of downtown. He pointed out that his push for change would benefit everyone who lives in this city. “We get several thou-

sand young (travellers) and the vast majority are disappointed with the Kelowna experience,” he said, pointing out that backpackers spend on average $100 a night, beyond accommodation costs. “Our hostel and the others in Kelowna have the shortest average stay all over Canada. They check in, walk around the city and check out the next morning.” Visitors complain about the lack of amenities, restaurants, culture and the general “vibe” of the city, as they head on to Banff or Vancouver, where they’ll stay for an average of three nights.

“It’s more in the off months we hear those complaints, but you need something to hang your hat on other than sun,” he said. While it may seem as though Kelley is all gripes, he stressed that he’s seen some positives in the last few years. “The city has done a very good job on the (downtown) charette and Bernard revitalization,” he said. “We’re just hopeful anyone getting elected in November comes out of the gate running. Now we’ll have to see if anybody wants to put money behind it.” kmichaels @kelownacapnews.com

Tough laws send a message

ast week the province made the obvious decision to keep tough rules introduced 10 months ago that have worked to curb the carnage caused by intoxicated drivers. Across B.C., there have been 30 deaths in a seven-month period that averaged 61 fatalities in each of the previous five years. This is more than enough evidence to keep the laws as they are — there had been talk of easing the rules after bars and

restaurants complained the laws were too harsh and hurt business. However, while this has been somewhat true, there has also been an evolution in how people think about their drink. Whether switching from boozy beverages to mocktails or planning an alternative way to get home, the general public appears to have adapted to the new reality. Part of this can be attribut-

ed to fear of getting caught, but hopefully it also signals a sea change in society. Younger generations have grown up being told about the dangers of drunk driving and their education has rubbed off on older citizens. The glory days of gas guzzlers are long gone and city planners are more and more looking at ways to keep people out of their vehicles. Driving and drinking, once

far too common, is also a relic of a past era. Taxis, bus service and even courtesy rides from good Samaritan organizations are now readily available for people who want to go out for a drink and get home without driving. The message is clear: There are options to avoid hitting the road hammered. The law works and it’s time for all B.C. drivers to work with it.

HST horror stories fade as referendum deadline nears

he B.C. government has released its audited public accounts for what Bill Vander Zalm enthusiasts strain to depict as Year One of the Harmonized Sales Tax Apocalypse. So let’s survey this allegedly bleak landscape of shuttered hair salons and seniors hoarding pet food, waiting for Belgian bureaucrats to come calling for more. Retail sales increased 5.3 per cent in 2010. Growth has softened so far this year, but there’s no evidence it’s due to the HST. (Retail sales are mostly goods, which are mostly unaffected.) B.C.’s economy grew by four

per cent, third in Canada behind those new northern tigers Saskatchewan and Newfoundland. We beat Alberta as well as havenot Ontario. The provincial deficit dropped by nearly a billion dollars, even though spending on government services continued its relentless rise with another billion-dollar increase. That’s four per cent spending growth, the same as the growth rate of the economy. But as usual, two thirds of it is health care spending, growing closer to twice that

fast. Hair salons? My barber voted No to Vander Zalm. His accounting is simpler, his price is still reasonable and customers aren’t Tom generally prepared to Fletcher start cutting their own hair. Restaurant association head Ian Tostenson predicted thousands of restaurants would close because of HST, and then mused about running for premier. Fortunately, we were spared from both of these scenarios. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon

VICTORIA VIEWS

put out some spin about how tightfisted spending control brought the deficit down from the 10-figure range. Prudence, he called it. Prune juice is more like it. It was economic growth that paid the bills, with mills and mines opening and consumers spending. Former premier Bill Bennett’s observation still applies: B.C. is a small, open resource economy in a volatile world market. Commodity markets have strengthened to the point where even the rising Canadian dollar is being overcome. Expansion to Asia is proceeding, assisted by a long-term federal-provincial strategy that the NDP

opposed. A skilled labour shortage already exists in the B.C. northeast and is forecast to spread across the province. The government’s latest labour market survey estimates that B.C. will be in a labour shortage by 2016, and there will be one million job openings by 2020. One third of these will come from economic growth, two thirds from retiring baby boomers. Unlike next year’s HST revenues, this prediction is relatively easy to make with precision. Job growth does depend, however, on a competitive tax environment, See Fletcher A7

LETTERS ▼ INSURANCE RESPONSE

Competition always helps consumer’s wallet To the editor: Re: Place More Attention On The Cause Of Insurance Rate Hikes, Paul Hergott column July 21 Capital News. I read your paper’s recent editorial (Our View: Is It Time To End ICBC’s monopoly? July 14) and Paul Hergott’s response with interest. As someone who works in the insurance industry, I’d like to provide another perspective. Mr. Hergott is right to believe that competition drives auto insurance prices downward. Anyone who has switched phone compan-

ies or cable providers knows that competition puts consumers in the driver’s seat. But I disagree with his claim that drivers haven’t benefited from competition in optional insurance. On the contrary, optional insurance rates have dropped over the last few years (a fact that ICBC itself has acknowledged). The reason? In this market, ICBC must compete with private insurers for business. Consider that if policyholders are unhappy with their optional insurance provider, they can shop around and take their business elsewhere. That’s a significant benefit that driv-

ers forced to do business with ICBC just don’t have. The disadvantages of a government-run auto insurance monopoly that restricts choice, product innovation and service are crystal clear to drivers in B.C. Lindsay Olson, vice-president, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Insurance Bureau of Canada

▼ POVERTY LINE

Living within your means an honorable goal To the editor: The article Family of Four Poverty Line Set at $70,000 (July 21 Capital News) is an example of how misguided society has become in regard to priorities. Society is not about money, it’s about survival. Survival is basically three things: Food, shelter and clothing. An American native proverb states something like: “Only when the last animal is gone, last tree cut down, last fish dead in the water will people realized money cannot be eaten.” These studies in government offices, including the regional district which conducted this one, are funded by taxpayers, many of whom do not make the required $16.98 an hour in the Central Okanagan. Why not just round it out to $17, it’s such a ridiculous number anyway. Just look at the ‘help wanted’ ads—maybe one out of 100 is within that range.

Our entire economy would collapse if not for all the employees in our malls, grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, orchards, etc. These people don’t make the required rate for a living wage—they’re all around us. They would be dead according to this government report. This article was published on the day B.C. Tree Fruits celebrates its 75th anniversary. The Okanagan Valley was based on hard working orchardists/agriculturists to begin with. They provided the beauty which drew tourists—a second industry. We should honour our history and realize how important this beauty is. One problem is paying government employees to conduct ridiculous studies. Money was originally based on the idea: “You provide me with something I need to survive and I’ll exchange this with something you need.” We’re brainwashed and bombarded by TV ads, billboards, etc., telling us

what we need. We don’t need monster huge houses depleting our energy sources and forests. We don’t need to buy new gas-guzzling cars every two years. There are alternatives we have to start looking at. I’m a single working adult. I bought a modest house here 25 years ago on a salary just over $9 an hour and some savings earned by working out of the valley. I didn’t buy into all the hype about new cars, new this and that. I clipped coupons, bought every item of clothing on sale, bought healthy foods that I cooked at home, rarely ate out. This is called survival, and don’t be discouraged you families who make under $70,000. It can be done. But greed of those who base everything on the dollars they make can ultimately destroy societies. Gail Green, Kelowna

▼ END OF LIFE

Hospice House transforms a family’s most trying time into a tribute to life To the editor: Recently Mom passed away at Hospice House in Kelowna. We were so fortunate to be able to spend the last days with her in a warm, comfortable, caring atmosphere. While it was an unhappy time in our lives, we were not sad. Not only Mom, but we were treated with warmth and tenderness from everyone. There were loving hugs, laughter, comfort-

ing words or just a gentle hand on the shoulder. Death is not treated as a fearful thing but there is joy in the fulfillment of life. We found solace in the beautiful gardens and comfort in the donated handcrafted quilts adorning every bed. If there were rules, we were unaware of them. It’s a place of awe-inspiring wonder as every employee and trained volunteer goes

Sky has not fallen with HST Fletcher from A6 with competition from Ontario and elsewhere. The public accounts also confirm what we found out last fall, that HST revenues have run ahead of expectations. HST haters like to claim the tax was promised to be revenue neutral. That finance ministry estimate was only for the first year, and it proved pessimistic. As with gasoline prices, external forces drown out

B.C. tax adjustments in the short term. Currently it looks as if going back to the old provincial sales tax will cost the treasury about $600 million in revenue in each of the next few years. HST rate cuts are made up by economic growth. Or we can return to a 60-year-old retail sales tax developed for a postwar, pre-service economy, and continue a B.C. political debate that revolves

around 30-year-old socialist ideology. The deficit will immediately jump back up to the 10-digit range. So if your HST referendum envelope is still in the bottom of your recycling bin, you might consider fishing it out and casting a No vote. They have to be delivered to Elections BC by Aug. 5.

NEWS ▼ KELOWNA ART GALLERY

New exhibit intended to counter cuts to public art program Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

On the heels of one of the largest cuts to public funding this city’s public art fund has ever seen, the Kelowna Art Gallery has a new display designed to help most people understand just how much thought and work goes

into bringing art into public spaces. Situated in the front room of the gallery, where it can also be seen from the street, the display delineates the public art process, explains the different ways new pieces come into the collection and exactly what goes into thinking up, producing

and installing a piece of public art. “There’s really a lot to it,” said the gallery’s head of public programming Renée Burgess. Burgess once tried assembling a proposal for a piece of public art herself and says she spent hours trying to think through all the components.

It also took her and three of the City of Kelowna’s public art committee members a full year to devise this exhibit, though the decision to begin with Bear in Stuart Park was very straightforward. As a piece which was almost universally applauded when it was unveiled last year, Bear and artist Brower Hatcher’s process offer a less political point from which to begin the discussion of what happens when public art is selected—a point of serious contention for some vocal critics who often question the need for public art and the selections made when new pieces are unveiled. “I don’t think people often think about what it does for the space,” said Burgess. “They just see the piece and decide whether or not they like it, but nothing just gets dumped there.” Rhapsody (the Dolphins) and The Sails, for example, bookend the downtown community. The Sails define the base of Bernard, drawing people to an area that needs to be vibrant for the shops and restaurants to thrive. By the same token, Bear, in all it’s playful twinkling, sparkling glory, seems to suggest the skating rink over which it is positioned is a place for anyone and everyone to play. In Bear’s case, a call for proposals went out to the global art community—a requirement of both city bylaws and provincial and international trade agreements (though some

Brower Hatcher was one of several artists who submitted a curriculum vitae and ideas to make the shortlist for the project, the art gallery’s display explains. Hatcher came up with the design during the shortlist phase of the competition after his research trip to the area turned up a small stone bear curio in the airport souvenir shop about as long as a man’s thumb. Once awarded the contract to make the piece, he created a three-dimensional model in drafting software (AutoCAD) of that bear, and then built a design which called for metal to be sliced into small pieces to form the bear shape. With millions of joints and bolts where he was able to fasten other small sculpture pieces like fruit and flowers, the intricate figure started to take shape. The moulds for the fruit and flowers and other objects he placed inside the frame are also includ-

ed in the display, providing an up-close and personal look at bronze casting and how metal is laser cut. There are several kinds of public art, just as there are several ways it can come into the collection and the display walks through both. Aside from commissioned pieces, sometimes artists take it upon themselves to come up with a vision, find the funds through grant sources and private donation and eventually provide a donated piece, Burgess explained. A likeness of Father Pandosy is currently being constructed by artist Crystal Pryzbille, who took this route after deciding Kelowna needed to honour the pioneer who is responsible for so much of our collective history. Other times, projects involved community organizations, like the sand sculpture created in conjunction with the Cool Arts Society artists at the Fat Dog Festival in 2010. And still other pieces of public art are designed more with function in mind. Pryzbille also designed the grates which the trees outside the art gallery sit in, for example. According to Burgess, perhaps the defining moment for Kelowna’s public art collection was the

2002 Thompson Okanagan Sculpture Symposium. Brought to the area by local sculptor Jock Hildebrand, it saw 20 international artists work out in public spaces all over the Okanagan and up to Kamloops. They left behind pieces like I Had A Dream, by Zhao Lei, in Tugboat Bay, and Diane Gorvin, Philip Bews and Jonathan Yeltatzie’s Concept to Creation outside the Rotary Centre for the Arts and Dawn MacNutt’s Sentinel, to name a few. The art gallery’s public art display encourages everyone to consider as well just how much time artists must take to consider the materials used for their work. Craig Sibley’s Stone’s Pear Grove had to be redone so that the red bridge in Ben Lee Park, paying homage to the Tamagi family who once owned an orchard where it now sits, could not be vandalized. And the attention which goes into smaller details, like the size and shape of the display itself must also be considered. The bench on which Geert Maas’s family of bronze sunbathers, for example, has been carefully shaped to echo the figure’s round curves and ensure it’s low enough for everyone, even children, to touch it. By and large, Burgess said the entire display was designed simply to ensure everyone in the community really understands all the factors which go into each acquisition. Often used to celebrate events—like the Maas medallion tribute to the city for the 2003 fires— public art should be celebrated as well, she said. To learn more about Bear, join Brower Hatcher for the Kelowna Art Gallery’s brown bag lunch discussion program August 1. A panel discussion will be held the same day at the gallery and special public walking tours are on from now to Sept. 1, along with a public art scavenger hunt.

Kelowna wins fire dispatch contract tender

Electricity theft reveals grow op

West Kelowna RCMP executed a search warrant on July 19 for a house in the 2500 block of Boucherie Road in West Kelowna. What the police found was a sophisticated marijuana growing operation

and an illegal electrical bypass. Police seized 731 mature pot plants and $2,500 in cash. A 31-year-old male was found in the residence and is believed to be the tenant and caretaker of the

illegal agricultural operation. That male was arrested and will be appearing in court to face recommended charges of production of a controlled substance (marijuana) and theft of electricity.

Kristi Patton CONTRIBUTOR

Kelowna has been awarded a five year contract to provide fire dispatch service to all the communities in the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen. In a 12 to six vote the regional district board awarded the five year fire dispatch service contract to Kelowna fire department, much to the dismay of the three councillors and the mayor of Penticton who sit on the board. But, with a bid coming in over $1 million lower than Penticton, many on the board stated they just could not endorse another option. “There were four contractors here and Penticton has put forward a very high price, an incredibly high price. I can tell you every year I have had to vote on this, since 2003, I have come out swinging my fist saying there is no way I am going to support moving dispatch out of Penticton,” said Naramata director Tom Chapman. “I am almost embarrassed, with all due respect, of the cost differential between Penticton and the other three departments,” Chapman said. Penticton, which holds the contract until Dec. 31, came in with a bid of $2,865,000. Kelowna’s bid was $1,075,000 and was the lowest of the bid offers, narrowly beating out Surrey fire service and the Fraser Valley Regional District. “I came here hoping Penticton had made a mistake because I could barely believe the difference in figures, but I haven’t heard that,” said rural Oliver director Allan Patton. “I also heard Kelowna is going to provide a secure and effective system. The money difference is substantial enough to really make it a no-brainer for myself.” Penticton Mayor Dan Ashton, who stepped away from his duties as RDOS chair to speak to this matter as a peer, said the Penticton fire dispatchers have “immediate intimate knowledge of the area” and that can’t be replaced. Ashton said Penticton is not the cheapest but believed they could provide the service better than the other bids. Dale Kronebusch, RDOS emergency services supervisor, assured the board that Kelowna would provide the same services as Penticton currently does and suggested the board put forward with the contract an expectation of service and benchmarks expected to be met by the Kelowna fire department. Penticton councillor and regional district board member Garry Litke said when the request for proposal was put out the bidders did not find out until later that there were 4,700 extra calls a year. He said when that information came forward to the bidders their costs didn’t flinch. “I can’t believe that Kelowna would accept an additional 4,700 calls a year with no increase in cost and can absorb it at the same price. It is difficult to believe,” said Litke. Concerns about using radio over Internet protocol was also raised by Litke. “My understanding is that in the South Okanagan…the Internet often goes down. So when the Internet goes down what happens to your 911 service? People are going to be left with their lives hanging in the balance while somebody tries to figure out how to re-establish communication,” said Litke. “It all comes down to lives. How much is a life worth? If we are going to start saying that $5 to $6 a household is what the price of a life is, well, then I have a problem with that.”

Musical vibes inspiring to local artist Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

City Park was filled with the triumphant sound of trumpets, the soothing notes from saxophones and the rhythmic pulse of percussion on Saturday at the 2011 Kelowna Jazz and Blues Festival. While many tapped their feet, snapped their fingers or clapped their hands, one man moved a pencil effortlessly along a piece of paper. Richard Mancion, a local artist, says that drawing helps him experience the music. “It gets me into (what I’m) drawing because the band is right there on stage and I’m taking in all the surroundings. Sitting on the grandstand I can see the lake and everything going on around me,” says Mancion.

In 2001 Mancion moved to Kelowna from Vernon. He loves the area; however, he wants to travel soon. As for his art, the Vernon native concedes that he should probably set up a simple web site to display his work.

Some of the fresh food is given to the Kelowna Community Food Bank and Kelowna Gospel Mission in proportion to the amount of donations the program receives, with the remainder sold at the Kelowna Farmers’ Market.

He envisions spin-off programs such as research and training programs on healthy gardening, eating and cooking in collaboration with the community. The project also aims

A plot of land near the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus is doing more than just growing plants. The acre of donated land is the site of the UBC Preservation Farm and Research Initiative (PFRI), but growing 100 per cent pesticide-free produce (based on organic principles) is only one of the benefits the soil brings to the campus and the community. Claude Desmarais, founder of the project and Reichwald Professor in Germanic Studies with the Department of Critical Studies, says the idea is to tie research and teaching to the garden. That connection is being made with three different program areas taking part in the green project so far. Students from a variety of faculties have created poetry for the garden, given workshops for PFRI members on writing about their experience, and conducted a sustainability study. A business plan has been developed and staff and faculty have come on board by donating funds to the project. Desmarais said donations from both on and off campus are vital to the project that employs students to tend the garden and harvest the crop. The latest donation was $2,000 from TD Friends of the Environment. “We’re dependent on donations to put the students to work. We need the support of people to make this happen,” he said. “Students have been very interested and engaged.” Produce from the organic garden includes lettuce, peas, potatoes, squash, beans and more.

URBA The bakery: favourtie place for locals and skaters

UPTOWN RUTLAND BUSINESS ASSOCIATION

DEBORAH GUTHRIE

“I’m skating at the Bakery!” is a phrase heard more and more often in Kelowna these days. The Bakery Board Shop, located on Highway 33 just north of Rutland Road, is one of our city’s unique businesses. More than just a great retail store for skateboarders, The Bakery has its own indoor skateboard park in the store and offers a place for local boarders to practice their skills, take lessons, or just hang out and share stories. Bobby Kennedy, who owns The Bakery with his brother Billy, grew up in Kelowna with a love for skateboarding and snowboarding. After working in sales, he decided to open his own business and knew exactly what he wanted to do. “Our whole game plan from minute one was not to

worry about the money, but instead to build a place for the whole community. Rutland is a great location. We spent a lot of time here growing up, and the support from the community has been huge.” When they opened a year and a half ago, they didn’t know if anyone was going to come in. Today, the Bakery is a favourite place for locals and also a hangout for many young boarders. Kennedy remembers when he ﬁrst started skate boarding, how much it meant when the experienced boarders treated him like one of them, and has been able to bring that sense of belonging into The Bakery. “I’ve met so many different kids here, and you can see what makes them great or is going to make them great. One of the best things over

the past year has been giving lessons to young kids, and watching them grow in conﬁdence and size”. As we talk, two boys come in to use the skateboard park. Kennedy gives them a loaner board and makes sure they have helmets. “My favourite parts of the Bakery are the shoes, skateboards, and the ‘lounge’ skate park – I want to have my birthday party here!” states the youngest. The Bakery Board Shop is named after the Granada Bakery, located in the space for 27 years. The location on route to Big White was perfect, with the necessary zoning in place to build the skateboard park and a perfectly smooth ﬂoor. “Occasionally, people still come in looking to buy a loaf of bread – it’s not that kind of bakery anymore”, says Ken-

nedy. The skate park offers a 10 foot wide mini-ramp that is great for kids and also fast enough for experienced boarders, a larger ramp and rails, and also a 14 foot wall ride that invites the shout, “Go to the roof!” The retail store at the front features a variety of unique brands. “When we started, we had difﬁculty getting the big distributors to sell us their products, so we’ve brought in some distinctive lines that are new to Kelowna and we’ve developed our own brands and logos for clothing and boards”, says Kennedy. “We can’t say we’ve done this on our own”, Bobby says, “That’s why we call it The Bakery Movement – it’s not just us, but everybody who’s come through and who’s supported us, they’re a part of it too.

Bienvenidos! Rutland’s very own Latin Fiesta CONTRIBUTED BY

#1-190 Hollywood Road

DEBORAH0GUTHRIE

Ready to add some spice to your life? Uptown Rutland is excited to welcome Latin Fiesta, Kelowna’s ﬁrst authentic Latin American restaurant serving traditional cuisine from Mexico and El Salvador. Latin Fiesta opened its door in April, 2011 and has been busy since day one with a regular clientele and daily new customers looking for a taste of traditional ﬂavours. The little restaurant with its outdoor patio provides an authentic experience and ambiance that anyone who has travelled to Mexico or Central America will recognize as soon as they walk through the door. Traditional recipes from Mexico and El Salvador are prepared fresh, including tamales, tortillas, chili rellenos, nachos, and pupusas. Latin Fiesta is family-owned and operated. Owner Emma Chavez was born in El Salvador and moved with her family to Mexico City prior to the Salvadorian civil war. In 1987, Emma moved to Canada, eventually choosing to settle in Rutland where she became involved with the local community and helped new immigrants and workers. “Several years ago, through my involvement with the church, I began helping the Mexican workers with translation and assisting with

services such as banking and community services. I also made tortillas which were very much in request.” One thing led to another, as Emma was encouraged by the community’s support and the demand for her tortillas. Her original plan was to open a store, but when the restaurant site became available, Emma saw the opportunity to showcase her family’s recipes. “These are my mother’s traditional recipes – my sister and I learned from her.” Emma still plans to open a store alongside the restaurant, which will feature Mexican and Latin American spices, produce, Spanish books and newspapers, and of course tortillas. Latin Fiesta offers delicious, authentic meals at reasonable prices and a chance to enjoy Latin American culture right here in Rutland. My favourite? Deﬁnitely the pupusas! Hola! Latin Fiesta is located at 400 Highway 33 West, and is open Tuesdays through Saturdays 11am to 8pm, and Sundays 11am to 5pm. Phone 778-7535858.

Latin Fiesta Pupusas

Pupusas are a traditional recipe of El Salvador and are similar to corn tortillas, only thicker and stuffed with cheese, beans, and pork chicharrones. The pupusa is so fundamental to the cuisine of El Salvador that the country celebrates a National Pupusa Day in November. Pupusas are made by making a ball of corn masa dough and pinching it into a cone shape. Add filling and seal the dough around the filling. Gently flatten the pupusa and cook in a skillet until golden brown. Recipes are available on cooking websites.

We’ve given skateboarding a home.” The Bakery Boardshop and Lounge is located at 189 Highway

33 East, Kelowna, BC. The store and skateboard park are open daily from 11am to late, and lessons are available

on Sundays from 11am to 1pm and 1pm to 3pm. Phone 778-753-5901.

Bus rate increase has majority council support

Award winning artist to teach art workshop

Plans from A1 Coun. Michele Rule and Charlie Hodge were of the same mind. “Kelowna is one of the most vehicle dependent communities,” said Hodge. “To get more people in buses and out of vehicles…we may have to increase the fee, but not today.” Rule said that she wasn’t philosophically opposed to tax payers taking on more of the transit cost burden, as it’s a better investment than the cost of maintaining roads and highways for car drivers. “The taxpayer can only subsidize so much,” said Coun. Andre Blanleil. “I know we want to get people out of cars, but it’s a huge cost to the tax payers.” He added later that the rate hike would put Kelowna more in line with other university cities, like Victoria and Vancouver, and shouldn’t be balked at. In the end, only Rule and Hodge stood against the rate hike which means as of Jan. 1, 2012, the UPASS for UBC Okanagan students will rise to $60 per semester, up $10 on the price set in 2007. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

NEWS ▼ MOUNTAIN BIKING

Sharing the passion for riding Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Experience has paid off for Elevation Outdoors’ Live to Ride 2011 program, and the ride is smoother than ever. Live to Ride 2011 allows underprivileged youth in the Okanagan to experience exciting mountain biking adventures. Tori Hanson, president of Elevation Outdoors, said that the program is in its fourth year, and it’s better than ever. “It’s a little bit of a new delivery this year,” said Hanson. “We’ve got a one-onone mentor style program. Each volunteer leader is paired with a youth and that way it makes it more flexible for schedules. “When they can work

out a ride time together, they meet up with another pair (and ride). It makes it a lot easier to facilitate in terms of flexibility.” Hanson said that she ran into problems in the past because sometimes the scheduled days for riding conflicted with the kids’ schedules. She also mentioned that previous years youth would attend because there was no direct communication with their mentors to keep them accountable. The new system has been much more efficient. “It’s actually worked out quite well in terms of getting the rides in. We’re about three quarters of the way through the program now, they seem to all have had good rides.” Hanson mentioned

that part of the challenge has been finding rides that are suitable for the kids’ skill levels. “The first three years we were trying to find our feet in terms of what works for the kids and what are good rides to do. Now, a lot of our volunteers—who have been working with us for the four years—are super familiar with what is good in terms of challenging rides.” To qualify for Elevation Outdoors’ free Live to Ride program—or Learn to Shred program, in the winter—applicants must either be a foster child, have parents who receive social assistance or have parents who are financially disadvantaged. Helping underprivileged youth isn’t a new

concept for Hanson. “I used to work with youth in schools. I started doing volunteer work with more underprivileged youth and I found it very rewarding. The kids that really needed the help, really appreciated it. When they get inspired, they get really inspired.” Hanson didn’t hesitate to create Elevation Outdoors when she saw a need in Kelowna. “When I moved to Kelowna, I saw that there was a gap here: There’s a lot of kids in Kelowna that fit into that underprivileged category and don’t have the ability to go do things like mountain bike.” Elevation Outdoors is a completely volunteer effort. “Everybody who works with the organiza-

They want to give back to the community and share their love of what they do with people who would

never get the chance.” Hanson is proud that Elevation Outdoors has been a success. “We’ll be coming into our fifth year, so it’s a big milestone in terms of sticking around and making it through five years of running a nonprofit. We’re

looking forward to next season.” Elevation Outdoors will hold their third annual Reason for the Season Gala on Nov. 5. For more information about Elevation Outdoors, contact Tori Hanson at 250-808-1626.

▼ PROJECT BULENGA

Pilot project to advance writing skills

Fundraising project to aid Uganda village

Carolyn Labun has been appointed the first director of the Centre for Scholarly Communication, a new two-year pilot program at UBC Okanagan. The centre will support graduate students as they develop advanced writing skills and share their research findings in the digital world. “The goal of the centre is to help graduate students develop the skills to communicate their message and knowledge, not

only to other scholars, but also to members of the wider community who will benefit from their work,” said Labun. Labun joined UBC’s School of Engineering in 2005 to teach academic and technical communication to undergraduate students in Applied Science. Since then, she has also worked with graduate students, providing oneon-one writing consultations, delivering a variety of communication work-

shops, and contributing to the development of a course in graduate communication. Labun is also the editor of an open source journal, First Words: Journal of Undergraduate Engineering Writing, which publishes the academic and creative writing of firstyear engineering students. She is a recipient of the 2011 UBC Award for Teaching Excellence and Innovation and the 2010 Faculty of Applied Science Engineering Co-op

Program’s Faculty Member of the Year Award. The Centre for Scholarly Communication initiative is the result of the vision and dedication of a group of faculty members who recognized the need to establish a centre to support graduate students as they communicated the results of their scholarship. It is being underwritten by pilot funding from the Office of the Provost. From 2005 when the College of Graduate Studies

began with 41 students, there are now more than 500 graduate students on the Okanagan campus. “As the centre grows, we look forward to expanding our offerings to support the scholarship of junior faculty members and to being a place where faculty, graduate students and upper-level undergraduate students from all disciplines can work together to achieve their goal of spreading the story of their research,” Labun said.

Hollie Lorentz CONTRIBUTOR

Project Bulenga is a new initiative I have formed to assist friends in Bulenga Village, near Kampala, Uganda. I fell in love with the village and people I met during the 2 1/2 weeks I volunteered at Good Hope Primary School in June 2010. When I started teaching my class at Good Hope Primary School, the children had no text books, and basic supplies like notebooks, pencils, erasers and crayons were very limited. I had taken a 50 pound bag of supplies with me, which the teachers and class were very grateful to receive. I knew when I came home to Kelowna, I had to find a way to help them in whatever way I could. I have started accepting donations of school supplies, small toys, stuffed animals, toiletries, first aid supplies, mosquito nets and good used clothing for infants to adults. My goal is to raise enough money to ship a large volume of goods to Bulenga. With the support of friends, family and the community, I know this will be a reality. Art Knapp Plantland & Florist, 1994 Springfield Rd. will host a fundraiser for my campaign on Saturday, July 30, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be barbecued hot dogs and pop for sale as well as raffle draws. People are being asked to kindly donate school supplies, toys, toiletries and good used clothing from infants to adults. There will also be a drop-off area for bottles and cans, to generate extra revenue. All proceeds from the event will go towards sending the supplies to Bulenga. This year, I have sent three parcels of school supplies, clothes and toys to Good Hope Primary School. For more information, check out my website at www.projectbulenga.blogspot.com. I can also be contacted via email at hollielorentz@yahoo.com.

Volunteer couple bananas about cherries Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

The 16th annual Cherry Fair was held at the B.C. Orchard Industry Museum on Saturday, July 23. For Susan and David Shaw, it was an eighth straight year helping the cause. The couple arrived in Kelowna in 2003 and have been volunteering ever since. Susan said this year’s turnout was nothing short of impressive. “This year is huge compared to last year,” Susan said. “The last two years they were renovating and we were outside. We didn’t nearly have the turnout and we didn’t have the same number of vendors, so this is huge. “This is bigger than any year that I’ve seen.” The B.C. Orchard Industry Museum offered cherry tasting, a bouncy castle and free crafts. A number of vendors also had additional services, such as face painting, to compliment the Cherry Fair. Susan’s love for cherries stems from early on in her childhood—she grew up on a cherry farm in the Niagra region. Along with the Cherry Fair, she and David vol-

just came along with us.” Susan said Saturday’s crowd consisted of mostly families and people looking for bing cherries. “A bing cherry was one of the really good black cherries that came along a long time ago. Over the years they’ve developed split-resistant cherries and heartier cherries.” Susan said her favourite cherry is the lapin variety; however, she is also fond of the titan cherry, a crowd favourite at this year’s Cherry Fair. David said that he is fond of all cherries. “I’ve always liked cherries; I haven’t met a cherry I didn’t like,” said David. David and Susan said that their move to Kelowna wasn’t so different than living in Ontario, but there were some definite benefits. “We lived in the Niagra region. It had the fruit and the lakes and the wines and the produce in the summer,” she said. “(Kelowna) is very much like that, but no humidity and no bugs,” said David. Susan and David agreed that they learn something new about cherries every year.

Great for consumer and well overdue, a new

national renovation program is now providing confidence to consumers in the Central Okanagan. From installing a new kitchen, redoing a bathroom or putting an addition on a home, a renovation has to be done right. To help provide consumers with greater confidence when hiring contractors to do work on their homes, the renovation wing of the Canadian Home Building Association—Central Okanagan has signed on to the national RenoMark program. RenoMark’s focus is to stem the tide of illegitimate contractors that leave consumers high and dry. When a consumer hires a RenoMark contractor, they know they are hiring someone who has committed to complying with an industry code of ethics; is a qualified industry professional; has committed to providing customers with detailed written quotes and has access to information in building codes, municipal requirements and health and safe codes.

We purchased Mirage retractable screen doors from the company, a wonderful addition to our patio. We had a small but annoying problem with one of the doors, and I finally called them after a few years to see if anything could be done (my fault—I should have called earlier). The Solar people could not do enough, from trying several times to find a suitable time to come out and fix them to making sure we were satisfied. The simple task took about five minutes of installer Bob Kilgour’s time and everything works better than new. Now, that is a business that really takes their customer service seriously.

mbarking on a career as an entrepreneur is not for the faint-hearted. In fact, being successful as a business owner is often more complex than people realize. In addition to having a “great idea” for a business, an entrepreneur needs to know about how to produce or provide something people WORK will spend their money LIFE on. In some cases, businesses are started by someone who has some unique talent or skill that considered marketable Laurie is or they may be experts in Mills a particular field. Let’s assume a brand new business is created around the specialized skills or knowledge of one individual (the business owner). Often, this individual also needs to be all things and fulfill all roles in that business during the start-up phase. That means they need at least a little bit of knowledge about a lot of specialized functions—like finances, the physical resources, the marketing and all the sales. It’s a huge challenge, but when businesses are small, that is the reality that owners face. Entrepreneurs aiming to grow their businesses may eventually hire people with some expertise in these functional areas so that they can off-load some of the work and refocus on other parts of the business where they excel. Obviously each entrepreneur has a unique blend of strengths, talents and passions that will feed their business venture. What they all have in common though, once employees are hired, is the added responsibility of managing people. Applying oneself seriously to that leadership role can create a real competitive edge for the business. In the workshops I have delivered to entrepreneurs on the basic elements of human resource management, new, inexperienced business owners have consistently expressed one main concern—how to fire someone. I don’t teach people how to fire employees. What I do offer instead is a thorough framework for hiring well in the first place and tools to support the process. Using this approach with due diligence can minimize the need to replace someone who isn’t working out. If one doesn’t learn how to attract and keep good employees, then the business will be in a constant state of hiring and firing. We all know that is a costly pattern to maintain. Having a process and the right tools in place is just one piece; they need to be backed up by good leadership skills. For long-term success, business owners need to also understand the basics of how to motivate and develop people so that they can keep good employees once they find them. How does one build a business where talented people want to work? Part of the answer is linked to another question I encourage every business owner to ask him/herself—“Why would someone want to work for you?” For entrepreneurs who are new to managing people, my recommendation is to pause before hiring anyone and learn about best practices in HR management. Include an honest assessment of one’s own personal leadership style—both its strengths and its potential flaws—and work towards constant improvement.

BUSINESS â&#x2013;ź MILITARY CASE

Romance always a risky affair in the workplace

he sad decline and fall of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brigadier General Daniel Menard came to a close last week. It proved that, for everyone including generals, workplace romances remain a risky affair. Menard was dismissed last year from duties in Afghanistan amid allegations of having engaged in an â&#x20AC;&#x153;inappropriate relationshipâ&#x20AC;? with a female soldier. Press stories at the time spoke of the Canadian militaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;blanket ban on soldiers engaging in intimate relationships in a war zone.â&#x20AC;? Experts were quoted calling this rule an â&#x20AC;&#x153;unwinnable fight against human nature.â&#x20AC;? Clinical sex therapist Sue McGarvie said that soldiers â&#x20AC;&#x153;are in an incredibly difficult situation and looking for comfort and we are expecting them to be automatons.â&#x20AC;? She went on to state, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You cannot fight itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;put adults together in any situation and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have sex and intimacy.â&#x20AC;? Last week, Menard, a former â&#x20AC;&#x153;rising starâ&#x20AC;? in Canadian military ranks, faced a military judge and was charged with having improper relations with a soldier under his command and trying to impede the investigation into the affair. He faced up to two years in prison but pleaded guilty to the two charges. He ended up being fined $7,000 and was given a symbolic demotion to colonelâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;because he already retired from the military he will retain his prior rank and pension benefits. He had been removed from his command role in Afghanistan and had his responsibilities reassigned and now he will have a criminal record. The judge characterized Menardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions as having â&#x20AC;&#x153;happened in the worst place, at the worst timeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in a theatre of operation.â&#x20AC;? He cited Menardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be-

Robert Smithson trayal of the trust of his soldiers and chided him for having failed to set an example. According to Menard, upon his return from Afghanistan he was ostracized by other officers and he no longer felt part of the generalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;club.â&#x20AC;? He is presently unemployed. A former military official commented to the news media that Menardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions were â&#x20AC;&#x153;reprehensible conduct of the highest order.â&#x20AC;? I wonder whether such strict rulesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;apparently applicable only to war zonesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;really make a whole lot of sense. Is it really necessary to completely wreck a talented officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career over an illicit liaison (in a battle zone or not)? As adults, the reality is that many of us spend the majority of our waking hours at workâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the workplace is our primary venue for social interaction. Surveys have indicated that over one-half of employees have been romantically involved with a co-worker and almost one-fifth of employees met their spouse at work. The problem with the supervisor-subordinate (or general-corporal) romance, of course, is the power imbalance between the two. The prospect that the supervisor may abuse his or her authority in the course of the relationship is of great concern to employers. Regardless, the blanket sex ban applicable to members of the military seems particularly harsh. Soldiers are expected to live in close quarters, in remote locations, away from home for months at a time. They are placed in the most stressful of cir-

cumstances and they are largely confined to a base along with their co-workers. In this setting, can we really expect them to remain celibate? It seems that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fraternizationâ&#x20AC;? rule is considered necessary to uphold discipline. That may be the case, but even military organizations need to keep up with the times and it seems anachronistic to adhere to the notion that adults canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do their job and have sex (although, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll concede, likely not at the same time). Maybe our armed forces personnel can be trusted with forming and regulating their own social relationships. Especially if banning intimacy simply means that it is going to be carried on in secrecy.

Keeping a handle on cash flow C

ash seems to be the one asset that can just get up and walk away. There are several methods of cash control and all are a variation of one central method, but are different due to the type of business. Once a cash control procedure is decided upon, tested and modified so that it works, it should be written down so that when new staff are hired, there is a document that can be referenced when training the new person. One area that always seems to create a problem is what to do if the customer has requested a refund. I have been in establishments which just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give refunds because there is just not a procedure to be able to do that. Instead, the customer would receive an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;instoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; credit to purchase another product. In all cases the business should start its day with a cash float. This can be one general cash float, or an individual float for each staff member (depending on the business). This float should be counted in the morning to make sure that it holds the correct amount of money before starting the shift. The amount of money in the float needs to be determined by management and is usually dependant on the type of business volume. During the shift, there should be cash drops made, so that the cash register or personal float does not get very much above the float amount. This helps to protect the

business and staff members from robbery and theft. The money should be dropped into an agreed upon spot such as a safe or Gabriele vault on the premisBanka es. If there is no safe or vault available, then perhaps the owner or senior staff person should collect excess cash every few hours. The business needs to have some method of recording sales, usually a cash register. If no cash register is used, then sales slips are required. At the end of the day or shift, the float is counted and the amount in excess of the float amount from the start of the day (taking into account the cash drops) is the cash that needs to be deposited to the bank. The clerk should balance the cash deposit with the sales or cash register slips at the end of each shift. At the same time the debit and credit card receipts should be balanced to the credit card machine print out and also to the cash register. There should be a tally sheet of the cash that can be matched against a tally sheet of the sales slips or cash register print out by sales clerk. These tally sheets should be checked again in the morning by someone that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have contact with yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cash. This person could be the person responsible for creating the daily bank deposit. The business also needs to determine when the deposit will be taken to the bank, on a daily basis, or perhaps weekly. Still, there should be a separate bank deposit slip for each dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

BEHIND THE COUNTER

worth of cash sales. To record the deposits into the accounting system can also be handled many different ways. The business can collect the information on an excel spreadsheet and enter the information into the accounting program once a month, or someone can enter the information on a daily or weekly basis. The monthly cut off is important so that the information can be reconciled with the bank statement, so make sure that you deposit all funds from the current month on the last day of the month. Another option that some businesses use, depending on their cash flow, is to balance the accounting records to the bank statement on a daily basis using Internet banking. For situations where something needs to be paid for with cash from the till, I would suggest that the business set up a separate petty cash box just for the purpose of paying miscellaneous small items. On a weekly or monthly basis the receipts collected can be totaled and then a cheque written to replenish the petty cash which should always be at a specified level whether that is all cash, or cash and receipts. Another issue is where to keep the float until the next morning. Some small businesses have the managers take the float home with them and bring it back in the morning. Other businesses have a small vault or safe installed on the premises. Others may store the float in a locked fireproof file cabinet.

SENIORS Careful who touches your computer S

eniors need to be aware of fraud scams for their own safety, but at the same time they can’t live their lives in a state of fear or paranoia. Seniors tell me that they don’t contact the RCMP about a possible fraud carried out against them because they don’t want to get involved. But the RCMP need to know what is happening so that they can keep all seniors safe. Police are warning seniors of another scam involving people who want nothing more than to mess with their computer and steal their personal and financial information. Victims are contacted by a bogus technical support person—in some instances claiming to be from Microsoft— who scares them into believing that there is something wrong with their computer, that they need to take control of it and fix the phantom problem. Some of the calls are

SENIORS’ CONCERNS

Sharen Marteny by persons trying to sell an anti-virus program. They may direct victims to a website to provide information and they will ask for credit card numbers so they can bill the victims between $100 to $300 to fix the supposed problem or purchase the bogus antivirus program. Once control is in their hands, the fake technician may try to extract information and/or plant clandestine programs that will collect information and send it to them. Besides spewing out fake credentials, the fraudsters will provide fake call back numbers and will lie in order to make the ruse more convincing. Don’t let a stranger,

who calls you out of the blue and tells you they are a technical support person, take control of your computer. These scammers can’t possibly know that there is something wrong with your computer unless they take control of it. When they tell you that you have a problem, the problem is them. Tell them no thanks and hang up. If you find you have a problem with your computer, contact a reputable technical support company or your own internet server technician for phone support; or take your computer to a reputable computer company. Also, use a trusted, current anti-virus computer protection program and allow that program to do regular scans and updates to keep your computer in tip top operating condition. These callers are pushy, so remember the . acronym SCAM: S—Safe. If you give in to one of these facades,

would you be worse off for having done it? C—Credible. Does the person who is trying to convince you have any credibility that can be verified? A—Aggressive. Is the scammer using an aggressive tactic, or language, that requires an immediate or imperative response? M—Motive. Is their motive to deprive you of money or assets (banking information), with a promise of greater reward? If the answer is yes to any of the above questions, then don’t fall for it. If it’s a phone call, simply hang up. If a letter, throw it away. If in person, kindly tell them you’re not interested. For further information about scams, contact Kelowna RCMP Cst.

“Do you have a question you would like answered?”

What are the beneﬁts of advertising my business or services in “Ask the Experts”?

Newspapers are used to plan purchases, either for an immediate need or a future purchase. While the economy might have changed the way Canadians shop, one thing that hasn’t chnaged is the tool that they use to make their shopping decisions. Most adults identify newspapers as the way they use to plan shopping or make purchasing decisions. Secondly, newspapers ads are WELCOMED! In other media, ads are actively avoided. Newspaper is one of the few types of media where readers indicate that they want the ads. Newspapers score higher than T.V., Radio and the Internet in terms of Canadians. Lastly, newspaper readers take action, over 10 million Canadians read a newspaper on an average weekday. But they don’t just read the paper, they are moved to action based on the advertising contained in it.

HOME INSPECTION MYTHS Part 1

Having faulty or misquided beliefs about home inspection services can lead to poor buying processes & suspect ﬁnal decisions. Craig Hostland, North America’s leading provider of home-inspection services, offers responses to some of the most common myths about home inspection.

M F

All qualiﬁed home inspectors are alike.

Just because someone claims to be an inspector--even a certified inspector-doesn’t mean he or she is qualified to inspect your new home properly. BC now requires home inspectors to be licensed, but licensing is based on a bare minimum. Before choosing an inspector, examine the person’s credentials and who certified them. CAHPIBC is known to set the highest standards in the industry. Another is to ask how many inspections they perform in a year and for how many years. At least 350 inspections per year indicates the inspector works full time at this challenging profession. A senior inspector will have several thousand inspections under their belt. As well, part-time inspectors may not have up to date knowledge or a well-honed skill so necessary for defect recognition. Qualified home inspectors conduct a thorough visual inspection of all elements of a home and check items for function. The more qualified the more knowledge you can gain about the home and its systems, before you buy it.

OC eligible for federal research funds Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest research granting council has added Okanagan Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name to the list of colleges eligible to receive and administer federal research funding. The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council has reviewed and accepted the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s application to join the growing list of community colleges that will help propel Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s innovation agenda. The decision followed an NSERC review of college policies and practices that pertain to research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is extremely positive news that comes at an opportune time,â&#x20AC;? said Okanagan College president Jim Hamilton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Increasingly, colleges are being regarded as a key component in the innovation and commercialization initiatives in Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the latest budget, for example, the feder-

al government set aside funds specifically intended to spur college and community research initiatives and partnerships.â&#x20AC;? Among the announcements in the June budget, for example, was allocation of 30 new Industrial Research Chairs at colleges ($3 million in 201112, and $5 million a year permanently beginning in 2012-13). A further $12 million over five years was earmarked for an Idea to Innovation program that supports joint college-uni-

versity commercialization projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Okanagan Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accreditation is welcome news,â&#x20AC;? said KelownaLake Country MP Ron Cannan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our government is investing in innovation, and we see colleges as vital contributors and partners to help us realize Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential on this front.â&#x20AC;? While the NSERC accreditation will ensure the college is able to apply for those funds and others, Hamilton says it is im-

portant to realize that the research and innovation agenda has always been a part of what happens at Okanagan College. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have many professors, instructors and students who have been engaged in innovation and research, whether it is a biology professor who is working with a developer to ascertain the effects of a marina on a fish population, or business students who are helping companies or non-profit agencies find better ways to conduct business,â&#x20AC;? Hamilton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is more applied research that goes on at a college than most would imagine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The federal government is seeing the close connections that colleges such as ours have to industry and community, and is coming to recognize the opportunity to leverage that by fast-forwarding innovation.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;

RESEARCH FUNDING WILL HELP CREATE MORE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTSâ&#x20AC;Ś Jim Hamilton, Okanagan College president

The funding opportunities wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t distract Okanagan College from its mission, added Hamilton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been, and always will be, primarily focused on education and training,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Research funding will help create more learning opportunities for students, and will strengthen those ties between community and college and add further capacity for us to contribute to regional development.â&#x20AC;?

New knee, new deal for Gorges Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Equipped with a refurbished right knee and a new contract, Josh Gorges is ready to go back to work for the Montreal Canadiens. The 26-year-old former Kelowna Rockets captain came to terms on a new one-year deal with the Habs last week, avoiding a salary arbitration hearing set for this Thursday. The deal will pay Gorges $2.5 million, more than double his salary last season. "He is a very reliable defenseman for our club," general manager Pierre

Gauthier said in a statement. "Josh is recovering extremely well from his knee injury that kept him out of the lineup for half of the regular season and the playoffs, and we look forward to seeing him at training camp." The 6-foot-1, 200-pound rearguard had his 2010-11 NHL season cut short when he underwent surgery on his right knee in January. Six months later, Gorges claims he has seldom felt better. "It's great, it feels fantastic," Gorges said of the knee while at the Kelowna Rockets alumni golf tournament Thursday. "I've had a lot of time to

strength train and work out in the gym. Most guys start their training in June and I was able to start mine in March. I know I had a lot of work to catch up but as of right now this is the strongest I've been strength-wise and on the ice. It still feels a little dif-

best to fix the entire knee, get the ACL fixed and be 100 per cent and ready to go." Last season, Gorges played in 36 games for the Canadiens, scoring a goal, adding seven assists while averaging 21:10 ice time per game. Gorges was signed as a free agent by the San Jose Sharks in 2002. Since making his NHL debut in the 2005-06 season, he has nine goals, and 50 assists and a plus-12 rating in 364 regular season games. Gorges was traded by the Sharks to Montreal on Feb. 25, 2007. Meanwhile, another former Rockets defence-

ferent sometimes when I walk but on the ice it's great." It was an injury which dated back to the 200304 season when Gorges suffered a damaged ACL in the Western Hockey League playoffs. In effect, he played 7 1/2 seasons without a functioning ACL. "It held on as long as it could," said Gorges, a Kelowna native who played four seasons with the Rockets. "So this year when it started to break down a little bit, the miniscus started tearing. “We could have possibly just fixed up the miniscus and kept playing, but the team thought it was

Weber, 25, and the Preds are hoping to agree on a long-term deal before the hearing. A finalist for the Norris Trophy for the NHL's outstanding defenceman in 2010-11, the Sicamous native had 16 goals and 48 points, and led Nashville to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time in franchise history. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

After going a combined 0-4 against the Vancouver Thunderbirds and Khalsa Sporting Club during the regular season, the Okanagan Challenge headed into the Pacific Coast Soccer League championship tournament as the decided underdogs. So much for labels. The Challenge knocked off both opponents over the weekend in Penticton to capture their second PCSL crown in three years. In Sunday's finale, a dramatic conclusion saw the Challenge go to penalty kicks to post a 3-2 victory (5-4 in the shootout) over Khalsa to capture the coveted Challenge Cup. Sam Hwang connected for the go-ahead goal in the shootout, then the Challenge turned to keeper Michael Sheridan who made the final save to clinch the win. "I think the guys deserved to be there and they deserved to win," said first-year head coach Kelly Wolverton. "I think the guys are very worthy of being the best team in this league."

Yopyk accepts ‘opportunity to move up in hockey world’ Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

Darren Yopyk will still be able to watch the B.C. Hockey League team that he built in Westside this season. But he will be doing it from the stands as an NHL scout after resigning from the Warriors on Monday and taking a job as a western scout for an unnamed

NHL team. "This is an opportunity to move up in the hockey world and to stay in the same area," said Yopyk, who will be able to maintain his Okanagan residence as an NHL scout. "I won't have to change my life that much. It's a great opportunity but it was a hard decision. I love everything about Westside."

Warriors president and owner Mark Cheyne says losing Yopyk is part of the business of developing people within the Warriors organization. "We understand as an organization that we are building careers of not only our players but our staff as well," said Cheyne. "Darren deserves this and we wish him nothing but success."

The Warriors will announce Yopyk's replacement at a scheduled press conference on Tuesday but sources confirm the team has hired a veteran coach with BCHL and Hockey Canada experience. As for Yopyk, he spent two seasons at the helm for the Warriors, guiding the club to a 71-38-3-8 record. His team's reached

the second round of the BCHL playoffs in each of his two seasons after he replaced Mark Howell to become the second coach in Warriors history. "Westside as a community is excellent, they support the team, the business people are wonderful and the organization is great," said Yopyk. "I'll miss the players and that's the hard part. It will be neat to watch the guys progress, that was one of the things I loved about my job. But they will be in good hands." A former assistant coach with Merrimack university, Yopyk used his college connections to help Warriors players secure scholarships. Thirteen Warriors players were committed to college from last year's team. He also says he loved player recruitment and identifying talent, something that will be a big part of his new job. "I really enjoy watching players and seeing what they can do, trying to break down their characteristics," said Yopyk. "Coaching has been part of my life for a long time

GET A GRIP!

Challenge the lead 88 minutes in, before Khlasa tied it up in the dying seconds to force the extra time. Rookie head coach Kelly Wolverton said that's when his team's mental toughness and determination really kicked in—despite allowing the late lead to slip away. "The resiliency they showed in that situation was awesome," he said. "It could have been pretty deflating, but it didn't kill us, it didn't stop the guys

from what they were trying to do. I'm really proud of what they accomplished and no one can take it away." In a season of ups and downs, it all came together at the opportune time for rookie head Wolverton and his squad. The Challenge played much of the season with a reduced roster—often with as few as 12 to 14 players on the pitch—but still managed a 5-5-2 record and the fourth and final playoff spot. "There were a lot of obstacles," said Challenge

manager Josh Leins. "The guys put a lot of work into this and were rewarded for it." The Challenge opened the weekend with a 3-1 win Saturday afternoon over the Thunderbirds, a team they lost to twice during the regular season, 1-0 and 6-0. "It was probably our best game of the season," Wolverton said of the win over Vancouver.

It was the second straight year the Challenge went to extra time and penalty kicks in the PCSL final as they lost in the final last year to the Thunderbirds. Wolverton will now head back to Tennessee where he will rejoin the coaching staff at The University of the South men's soccer program in Sewanee.

Shott starts season on sidelines due to herniated disc surgery “It’s been beyond frustrating,” says Sun kicker. hosted the Intergold national semi-final game the week following the BCFC championship. Shott has endured a long, frustrating off season consisting of therapy and consulting with approximately 10 doctors in addition to the Sun’s own medical staff and head trainer Roy Gillespie. Among the medical staff that evaluated Shott’s back is BC Lions head trainer Bill Reichelt, as the club has a vested interest in the strong leg he

brought to the club’s rookie camp last season. The surgery is expected to take place in the next week after months of trying to avoid it through therapy due to Shott’s young age (21). The consensus of all the medical experts was that surgery should be a last resort that is now here as he has not responded sufficiently to months of rehabilitation efforts. Shott says the past few months have been frustrating.

“It’s been beyond frustrating," said Shott. "I’ve been hoping and working to see improvement and some days it looks like it’s getting better and then nothing. I just want to get this over with.” The surgery, which generally involves six weeks of shelf time before a couple weeks of work to get back to sports is the same that Vancouver Canucks defenceman Alex Edler underwent last season. Shott is optimistic in that Edler was back

in game action after six weeks. “I hope it’s that quick for me. This has been long enough. I’m going to work hard to get back as quick as I can.” With the recovery time, the club could potentially expect a healthy Shott back kicking in game action for the Sept. 25 home game against the Kamloops Broncos. While Shott will be out for the majority of the season, the name Steve will still be heard on the Apple

Bowl loudspeaker when field goals and punts are called as second year Rutland grad Steven McFadyen will keep Shott’s seat warm until he returns.

McFadyen has been auditioning for punting and placekicking along with rookie Brennan Van Nistelrooy, but special team coach/offensive coordinator Tony Lindsay has decided McFadyen is up to the task of both jobs. Lindsay says the loss of Shott is of course a blow but that McFadyen has shown in practice he is up to the challenge and doesn’t anticipate having to rotate between him and Van Nistelrooy who also showed well. Lindsay said Shott's talent and experience will be missed. “We are losing quite a lot, and that’s no slight against Steven (McFadyen), it’s just because Steve Shott is just experienced at it all," said Lindsay. "He has two years experience and is an exceptional athlete all around. He had the ability to pull it down any time it didn’t look good in front of him and run the ball. “Steve is inexperienced at this level, he is a good athlete, he just isn’t where Steve (Shott) is.

Pivotal year for Johnston Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

MacKenzie Johnston is fully aware of what is at stake for him this year. Johnston will enter his third full season with the Rockets in the 201112 WHL season, a year in which he will look to become a regular amongst the Rockets’ top four defencemen. Due to his October birthday, Johnston also enters his NHL draft year this season. Those two factors are the main reason the Swift Current native has been working so hard, bulking up, and getting ready for what will be the biggest year of his young hockey career. "I'm just trying to get stronger so that I'm not tgetting pushed around, so I'm the guy that is doing the pushing," said Johnston, in between two-aday workouts in Kelowna last week.

"I want to be a big physical prescence and to try and shut down the other team's offensive lines. Just being in the gym and working out getting stronger and meaner is what I have to do," he said. Last year Johnston admits to having a tough start to the season. He wasn't alone as the Rockets limped out of the gates to a 4-10 start. But in the second half of the season, and especially in the playoffs, Johnston turned his season around and showed that he can be a top blueliner for the Rockets. "There is no doubt at times last year Mackenzie showed he can play against the other team's better players," said Rockets assistant coach Dan Lambert. "He's gotten bigger and stronger this off season. There is no lack of work on his part. If his maturity level keeps progressing, I think he will be

in a good position to help our team and our back end." To prepare for the season, Johnston has been spending a lot of time in Calgary where he has worked out and skated. Last week he came to Kelowna and has been in the gym working out alongside former Rockets players Brandon McMillan and Tyler Myers. He has also been working with Rockets skating coach Aaron Konecsni as well as Kelowna based skating coach David Roy. He says being back in the Rockets dressing room and in Kelowna has been great. "It's nice to be back, it's a great city," he said. "It gives you that extra push, you are in your home gym and it brings back pretty good memories working out with Brandon (McMillan). It brings me back to when I was 16." With the calendar

When it does begin, Johnston will try to build on what he did in last year's playoffs when he was playing as one of the Rockets top four defence-

Good summer for golfer Inaba

Kelowna's Kyla Inaba tfinished in a tie for 22nd spot at the Canadian Women's Amateur Golf Championship. Inaba carded a fourday score of 19-over-par, 307 (77-76-76-78) last week at the Meadows Golf Club in Duncan. Earlier this month Inaba was sixth at the B.C. Amateur in Port Alberni. "It's been a pretty good summer season," said Inaba, 24. "I always think I can do better, but all in all I'm pleased." Kelowna's Megan Osland tied for 59th at 325. Toronto's Rebecca Lee-Bentham won the tournament, beating Lee Lopez of Whetier, California in a playoff. Both finished regulation play at 294. Inaba is considering her options for this fall. She expects to either move to Phoenix where she competed last year on the Cactus Tour, or down under to compete on the Australian Tour. Inaba remains an amateur but expects she will turn pro in the near future.

WOMEN'S SOCCER

Irene Arrota's corner kick was headed home by Kim Teichman in the second half to help the Boston Pizza Diablos earn a 3-3 draw with RPM Automotive Ex-

treme Wednesday in the Kelowna Womens Soccer League Premier Division action. Kim McNally scored the other two goals for BP, while Wendy Jansen was solid in net. Chelsey Forsberg opened the scoring for RPM from a cross from Nichole Vincze. Vincze later scored on a free kick out side the

In other action, Stephanie Rolheiser returned from injury and made an impact as she scored three goals to lead Mark V Autobody past Royal Star 4-2. Lauren Harris added the other. Julie Mackenzie and Paige Howes scored for Star.

Peacock Sheridan edged Blue Gators Stiyotes 4-3. Alessia Muresu and Chelsea Muskens scored twice each for the winners, who overcame an early 2-0 deficit.

Finding relief for pain from muscle cramps

CONTRIBUTED

GOLFING MARATHON… Dur-

ing the week of July 10, Wendy Toyer, executive director for the ALS Society of B.C., met with Kelowna golf pros to thank them for their efforts and support of the ALS Golf-A-Thon. She presented them with certificates of appreciation on behalf of ALS. In the top photo, Toyer (left) presents certificates of appreciation to Black Mountain golf pro Brice MacDermott, and ALS volunteer Hal Spellicsy. The golf club hosted a golf-a-thon for ALS on June 20. Golf pros Brice MacDermott and Jason Heppner golfed 414 holes and raised over $2,500 for ALS patient services. In the bottom photo, Toyer presents a similar certificate to Gallagher’s Canyon Golf Club pro Jon Kadin. Kadin and Josh Flemming, of Gallagher’s club member, completed 290 holes on June 28 and raised over $1,700 for ALS. Another local golf pro, Rob Anderson, also plans to take a swing for ALS at the Kelowna Golf & Country Club in August.

Knox Mt. park plan seeks public input The public will have a chance to view the long-term plans for Knox Mountain Park at an open house on Thursday, July 28, from 4 to 7 p.m. The City of Kelowna is putting the final touches on the Knox Mountain Park Management Plan. Residents can view information panels that prioritize major decisions for the park over the next 10 to 15 years, and provide feedback. Look for the tent at the park entrance on Ellis Street. “The management plan provides a framework for City decision-making with respect to park operations and maintenance, and it provides a strategic approach to park development and capital investment,” said parks planner Barb Davidson. “Our primary focus is to restore and protect this natural area.” The city is also looking to maintain the existing range of recreational opportunities through designated recreation sites that respect the park’s natural setting. Strategic goals for park management support three themes: a place for nature, a place for people and a place for stewardship. A draft of the management plan is available from the City website.

muscle cramp is a sudden and involuntary spasm or contraction of one or more of the muscles in the body, causing a sudden, sharp muscle pain. You may be able to feel or see a hard lump of muscle tissue beneath the skin. Muscle cramps often occur in the legs. Nocturnal cramps that occur in the calf muscles or toes during sleep are also common. Though generally harmless, muscle cramps can make it temporarily impossible to use the affected muscle. Muscle cramps can be caused by overuse of a muscle, such as long periods of exercise or physical labor, particularly in hot weather. They may also be caused by dehydration, muscle strain, or holding a position for a prolonged period of time. In many cases the cause of a muscle cramp isn’t known. In other cases, they may be caused by certain medications or related to an underlying medical condition such as arteriosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries) in the arteries that deliver blood to the legs, causing leg or foot cramps while exercising; compression of the nerves in the spine (lum-

NEEDLE NOTES

James Kaufman bar stenosis); or mineral depletion such as a shortage of potassium, calcium, or magnesium due to diet or medications. Muscle cramps can also be due to certain conditions such as kidney, thyroid, nerve, or hormone disorders, diabetes, hypoglycemia, and anemia. Muscle cramps usually disappear on their own and can be treated with self-care measures such as stretching and massaging the muscle and applying warmth to it. However, for some people, muscle cramps can be an ongoing problem, and can be very difficult to live with, interfering with sleep or daily routines. Acupuncture is an effective option for relieving and resolving muscle cramps. Muscle cramps are typically a sign that there is a blockage of blood and energy flowing to an area of the body. When this happens,

it causes that area to become weak and less able to perform properly, making the area more vulnerable to injury, over-fatigue, and pain. In addition, in Chinese medicine the liver and gallbladder meridians are responsible for nourishing the tendons and ligaments of the body. If there is an imbalance in these organs or if they are not functioning properly, muscle cramps can be one of the resulting symptoms. Acupuncture treatment for muscle cramps will typically involve restoring the liver energy flow and treating any problems with the way

that it is functioning. By addressing the underlying health conditions or imbalances that may be contributing to the occurrence of muscle cramps, we can help to restore health with the goal of preventing muscle cramps from occurring again in the future. Acupuncture can help to increase blood circulation, relieve muscle spasms, and relax the body, and the results are usually quite immediate. This makes it a very effective option for treating muscle cramps. With continued treatments, acupuncture can help to improve the body’s health and functioning, so that it

is better able to perform and less prone to muscle cramps. In this way it offers not only relief but also resolution of the problem. Whether you are an athlete looking to achieve top performance, or whether you are dealing with a chronic condition and living with muscle cramps as a result, acupuncture can offer relief and help you get back to your daily routine. James Kaufman is a Registered Acupuncturist at Okanagan Acupuncture Centre, 1625 Ellis St. in downtown Kelowna. www.okanaganacupuncture. com.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen berry days There’s nothing quite like the flavours of lovely, fresh, local berries and the health benefits are an excellent excuse to occasionally splurge on something very decadent that includes them. They’re also delectable tumbled over a green salad with a crumbled sharp cheese such as feta or blue; or cut up and mixed into a bowl full of plain yogurt. Often a recipe for strawberries is also delicious with raspberries and the same goes for blueberries or cherries. (I bet this one would be just delicious with raspberries. Chocolate & raspberries are a grand combination.) Fresh, refreshing and full of flavour, to me cherries and berries are symbolic of summer. But, there are many other flavours that are are also evocative of this time of year, with its long, hot days ablaze with lots of sun. I’m eating my first tomatoes of the season right off the vine now, and that’s a flavour I’ve waited eight months for. Then, there are the peas and beans, baby carrots from when I thinned a row and the salad greens have been fantastic this year with such a cool spring. I’ve got pots of dried herbs set aside for winter and I’ve been enjoying all of them fresh from the garden. Next, I’m looking forward to an over-abundance of zucchini, some garden-fresh cucumbers and the list goes on and on. What we can’t eat right away, we’ll can, freeze or dry, and we’ll share with friends and neighbours, co-workers and family. Anything I didn’t grow, someone else grew for me and it’s available fresh-picked at the farmers’ market, so there’s no reason to not be inspired by what’s in season. For more seasonally-inspired recipes, pick up a copy of my new book, Jude’s Kitchen published by the Okanagan Institute and available wherever books are sold. JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS

Jan's Chocolate Crepes with Strawberries & Almonds These are the ultimate in decadence, and they contain my favourite dessert flavours: chocolate, berries and nuts. Much of it can be prepared ahead of time, so there isn’t too much to do at the last minute. This makes a couple of dozen filled crepes. Pair these with a sip of B.C. VQA late harvest riesling. Yum.

CREPES:

1 1/2 c. (375 ml) flour 1/2 c. (125 ml) cocoa powder 3 tbsp. (45 ml) icing sugar 1/8 tsp. (.5 ml) salt 2 c. (500 ml) milk 2 large eggs 2 tbsp. (30 ml) melted butter, cooled a bit 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) vanilla extract 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) almond extract oil for the pan

Put flour, cocoa, sugar and salt in the bowl of the blender. Whirl to thoroughly combine dry ingredients. Add milk, eggs, melted butter, flavourings and whirl until thoroughly blended, at

least a minute. Refrigerate batter for an hour. Oil a five to six-inch frypan lightly and put over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, pour in about a quarter cup of batter and give it a swirl off the heat to evenly cover the bottom of the pan. Return to the heat and cook for 45 to 60 seconds or until lightly brown on the bottom. Flip the crepe over and cook the second side for about 15 to 20 seconds. Place cooked crepe on a rack to cool and continue cooking until all the batter is used. Once they’re completely cool, the crepes can be stacked between layers of wax or parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together. The stack can be carefully doublewrapped and frozen for future use.

FILLING:

1/2 c. (125 ml) fresh strawberries 2-250 g packages cream cheese 1/2 c. (125 ml) sour cream 1/4 c. (60 ml) brown sugar

1/4 tsp. (1 ml) almond extract 1/2 c. (125 ml) chopped almonds Toast the almonds lightly and soften the cream cheese out of the fridge. Rinse, hull and puree the strawberries. In a mixer, whip the cream cheese, sour cream, brown sugar and almond extract. Fold in strawberries and almonds. Put a dollop of filling across the lower third of each crepe. Cover the filling with the bottom edge of the crepe and roll it up snugly. Place rolled crepes on a cookie sheet and refrigerate for at least an hour.

SAUCE:

2 oz. (60 g) unsweetened chocolate 1 c. (250 ml) white corn syrup 1 tbsp. (15 ml) butter 1/4 c. (60 ml) butter 1/2 c. (125 ml) sugar 3 c. (750 ml) fresh strawberries 1/4 c. (60 ml) almond liqueur 1/2 c. (125 ml) Malbec red wine whipped cream, to garnish

Rinse, hull and quarter strawberries, reserving a few whole ones for a garnish, if you wish. Make chocolate sauce by melting chocolate in the microwave on medium heat. Do not overheat. Stir in the corn syrup and a tablespoon of the butter until thoroughly combined. In a large frypan, melt the remaining quarter cup of butter over medium heat and add the sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, for two minutes. Add strawberries and cook another minute. Ad the almond liqueur and simmer gently for a couple of minutes. Add a nice red Malbec (or a different red wine with juicy berry flavours) and heat it through. Add as many of the filled, rolled crepes as fit easily into the pan. Heat them through, basting with the sauce for a minute. Repeat with any remaining crepes. Serve, topped with the sauce and garnished with the whipped cream and whole berries, if desired. Makes about two dozen.
