RCMP investigating sexual assault in Glenrosa area Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna RCMP have confirmed they are investigating a report of a sexual assault in the Glenrosa area of West Kelowna.

The RCMP received a report of the assault on the weekend and are in the early stages of an investigation.

“The investigation is ongoing…We’re basically confirming its legitimacy,” said Const. Kris Clark, Kelowna RCMP spokesperson.

Over the weekend news reports surfaced stating a 17-year-old girl had been sexually assaulted on a heavily used trail adjacent to Glenrosa Middle School.

Details of the assault came from residents in the West Kelowna neighbourhood who reported what had happened to the girl in the news, as per information they received from her relatives.

Kris Clark The alleged assault follows on the heels of an incident off the Mission Park Greenway last Monday where a 22-yearold woman was out for a walk in the evening when she was hit over the head, dragged into the bushes and sexually assaulted.

Police issued a statement on Wednesday, June 5 warning the public to be careful on the Greenway and not use the trail and surrounding area alone.

RCMP are not connecting the two cases and are not prepared to issue any details, as yet, on this

latest incident.

Last week, the Central Okanagan Elizabeth Fry Society suggested it may be time for regional leaders and law enforcement to at least consider ways of offering more security on the Mission Creek Greenway.

The assault on the Greenway was markedly different from previous problems on the trail, and of a considerably more serious nature.

But there have been other issues within the thoroughfare, which is a recreation hub and considered a commuter access point for cyclists.

In May of 2011, a string of assaults committed by a man riding a bike, saw a suspect grab and grope women travelling with and without companions in broad daylight.

That assailant was never caught. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @jaswrites

Kelowna RCMP issue a warning about new street drug Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

The potent, addictive and toxic drug fentanyl is being sold on the streets of Kelowna, says the RCMP. The drug is a synthetic opiate considered up to 100 times stronger than morphine, and RCMP have learned it is being used to cut many street

drugs—speed (amphetamines), oxycodone and most commonly heroin.

“Fentanyl, and several chemical variations, historically have been illicitly produced and sold on the street as heroin, a heroin alternative or synthetic heroin and (it) has been attributed to many overdose deaths. The drug is highly addictive and extremely toxic,” said Kris Clark, RCMP

spokesperson.

When cheaper substances are used to artificially increase the weight and volume of a drug in order to increase dealer profits, it’s referred to as cutting a drug. The cutting process decreases the purity of the original, but can also introduce potentially more addictive, dangerous and toxic substances, according to a statement from RCMP

issued Friday.

“What might be a ‘safe’ dose for a particular substance could lead to an overdose death on fentanyl,” the release notes.

In reality, RCMP say there is no such thing as a safe dose of any drug, but fentanyl is explicitly dangerous. It is absorbed through contact with the skin and, due to its potency, can quick-

ly lead to serious health risks and/or death, even in very tiny doses.

The risk to the public, including emergency personnel, is said to be significant and police are urging the public to call police about suspected drugs and not to handle any of these substances. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @jaswrites

New cabinet: Thomson in, Letnick out Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

The Central Okanagan’s representation at the B.C. cabinet table has decreased.

But, while it will have two fewer cabinet ministers than it did prior to the May 14 election, if the B.C. Liberals have their way, it will add the most powerful voice of all in the B.C. cabinet, Premier Christy Clark. Clark plans to run in a byelection in the Westside-Kelowna riding in a vote that could happen as soon as mid-July.

Of the three local Liberals elected on election night here last month, only Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson was reappointed to cabinet on Friday. Thomson has retained his forests, lands and natural resource operations portfolio.

Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick, the former agriculture minister, was replaced in that portfolio by Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm. Letnick, however, was appointed Clark’s parliamentary secretary for intergovernmental affairs.

Letnick, who only learned of his new position late Thursday afternoon, said he has yet to find out what it will entail.

A government news release said the position of parliamentary secretary to the premier for inter-

Steve Thomson governmental affairs will have him working with the provincial Intergovernmental Relations Secretariat in the premier office to further the interests of B.C. at intergovernmental events.

He said he will talk with other MLAs who have held the position in the past, such as Chilliwack’s John Les, to learn more about what he will be doing.

It is unclear if Letnick will be able to resume his chairmanship of a legislative committee Clark appointed him to before he entered cabinet that was in charge of looking at the future of health care in B.C. “We’ll have to wait until the committee appointments are announced next week,” said Letnick.

On Friday, he wasn’t sure if his position as a parliamentary secretary would preclude that. He had to give up the chairmanship of the committee when he became agriculture minister.

Despite his depar-

ture from cabinet, Letnick said he was “fired up” by the Liberals’s election win and ready get back to work as MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country.

Thomson said he is ready to “hit the ground running” once again as a cabinet minister.

He said he expects to continue the work he started as the FLNRO minister in the last Liberal government, noting both the environmental and econom-

‘‘

ic impact his ministry has on B.C. “I’m really pleased with the confidence the premier has shown in me by re-appointing me to this ministry,” Thomson said late Friday afternoon following Clark’s introduction of her new cabinet in Vancouver.

Thomson said while he was disappointed Letnick will not be rejoining him at the cabinet table, he said he expects his Central Okanagan colleague will play a big role in his new position as parliamentary secretary to the

premier for intergovernmental affairs.

He said he, Letnick and former Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart worked so well and closely together in the past, he does not expect that to change with Letnick now only one of them is in cabinet.

Stewart was the minister of citizen services in the last government and announced earlier this week he will step down to allow Clark to run in a byelection in the riding he easily won for the Liberals May 14. Clark lost her Vancouver-Point Grey seat in the provicnial election to NDP challengerDavid Eby. Stewart’s former ministry is now part of a new ministry called technology, innovation and citizen’s services headed by newcomer Andrew Wilkinson. Wilkinson retained former finance minister Colin Hansen’s Vancouver-Quilchena riding for the Liberals in the election.

The 19-member cabinet includes Clark and: Rich Coleman—Deputy premier and Minister for Natural Gas Development, and Minister Responsible for Housing Mike de Jong—Finance Minister and government house leader Steve Thomson Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Terry Lake—Health

Minister .

John Rustad—Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Minister Peter Fassbender— Education Minister Amrik Virk—Advanced Education Minister Todd Stone—Transportation and Infrastructure Minister and deputy house leader Don McRea—Social Development and Social Innovation Minister Andrew Wilkinson— Technology, Innovation and Citizens’ Services Minister Stephanie Cadieux Children and Family Development Minister Bill Bennett—Energy and Mines Minister and Minister Responsible for Core Review Coralee Oakes— Community Sport and Cultural Development Minister Teresa Wats—International Trade and Asia Pacific Strategy and Multiculturalism Minister Suzanne Anton—Justice Minister and Attorney General Shirley Bond Jobs, Tourism, and Skills Training Minister and Minister Responsible for Labour Mary Polak—Environment Minister Pat Pimm—Agriculture Minister Naomi Yamamoto— Small Business and Tourism Minister The cabinet was sworn in Monday.

14 Children’s festival brings out many smiles 11 ▼ FAT CAT

The Interior Savings Fat Cat Children’s Festival attracted a large crowd under sunny skies Friday and Saturday in Waterfront Park.

Families came out in large numbers to celebrate creativity, culture and community during the festival, say organizers.

“We had amazing turn-outs to for the three core components of the festival— the School Day, the parade and the Community Day,” said Dorothee Birker, artistic director for the festival.

“Certainly the weather co-operated this year but more importantly the community really showed its support and love of this festival by coming out in droves.”

The Friday School

Day had a record turnout with more than 1,300 students registered and hundreds more families from the community joining in the fun.

The new parade route offered a shorter but scenic route along Cawston Avenue and seemed to be well received by the parade participants, as well as the thousands of people that lined the streets.

The Community Day offered a packed day of great performances, interactive activities and incredible family fun that focused on engaging the community in celebrating creativity and culture and how integral these things are to our everyday lives.

“The feedback from families and participants has been overwhelming-

ly positive,” said Marlene Fenton, chairwoman of the Children’s Festival Society of Kelowna, the volunteer board that produces the annual festival.

“It is truly amazing to be a part of a festival that brings so much joy and happiness to the children and families of our region.

The year-long planning and the long hours during the festival make it all worthwhile when you see the impact we are making.”

Highlights of this year’s event included the sukanaqin sa?xip or Okanagan Roots program, celebrating the Westbank First Nation and thanking it for hosting the festival on their traditional territory.

The program includ-

ed an opening and closing celebration with a Blessing from Okanagan Elder Wilfred Barnes and traditional dances by Crystal Prince and her children, as well as interactive workshops on storytelling, tule mat making, fishing and flint knapping.

Other highlights included William Butler, the five-year old boy who was so excited by last year’s Fat Cat Festival Parade that he decorated his bike and not only joined Fat Cat in leading the parade this year, but also inspired other children to decorate their bikes and join in as well.

“It is amazing to see the performances and the activities and excitement all come together,” said Fenton.

“But what truly makes this festival shine is the volunteers and community partners and we want to extend a great, big Fat Cat thank you to our Festival crew—almost 200 people strong this year— and the many sponsors and participating organizations for being the heart of this festival.”

Planning has already started for next year’s festival, which will takes place June 6 and 7, 2014 at Waterfront Park.

Individuals in the community who are interested in being part of the planning committee for next year’s festival, or serving on the board are being encouraged to get in touch with Birker at fatcatfestival@gmail.com or by calling 250-860-4911.

Upshall, who first ran for public office prior to the last federal election when he tried to win the federal Conservative nomination to succeed Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Stockwell Day but lost to Dan Albas, placed a distant third in the May 14 election in Penticton.

While at first saying it would not run a candidate against Clark in the byelection, the NDP now says it will not give Clark a “free pass” int the B.C. Legislature.

The B.C. Green Party has already said it will not run a candidate in the byelection.

The Westside-Kelowna seat was won by Liberal Ben Stewart but he has stepped down to let Clark run in what many consider a “safe” Liberal seat.

Container fire spews toxic smoke Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Toxic smoke flowed from a fire off Hollywood Road North that had fire-

fighters and police closing roads in the industrial sector off Sexsmith Road Friday afternoon.

The fire was contained to a Sea Can container, an

industrial crate similar to a shipping container, but strong winds blowing toward the university had rescuers concerned there could be a risk to the public if chemicals were involved.

“Upon arrival, KFD crews found thick black and yellow-green smoke coming from a construction trailer,” said Dale Calhoun, Kelowna Fire Department platoon captain, in a release issued late Friday evening.

The yellowish-green smoke proved to be from spray-on insulation in the walls of the container,

which produces “a very toxic smoke,” according to the release.

Fire crews were initially concerned for a number of buildings surrounding the container, given the strength of Friday’s winds; but no other structures were damaged in the blaze.

Personnel on scene said the container appeared to be empty, but it proved to be dry storage for a business and firefighters spent several hours removing product to allow it to cool. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @jaswrites

It was a fiery morning in the West Kelowna neighbourhood of Lakeview Heights Sunday, after a discarded cigarette set a shed ablaze.

The West Kelowna Fire Department issued a statement later the same day saying the fire was accidental and, thankfully, remained small due to the quick thinking of one resident in the area.

“When the first engine arrived, they reported that one of the residents had knocked the fire down prior to their arrival,” said Darren Lee, West Kelow-

na Fire Department assistant chief. “The fire had started in an attached storage shed and was threatening to spread to the home.

“The quick action of the resident stopped the initial fire spread.”

Damage to the home is said to be minor and the fire crews were able to perform their overhaul, to ensure the fire had not spread in the structure, very quickly.

Three fire engines, a fire safety officer, a command officer and a police squad car responded to the call for help. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @jaswrites

the artificial field will be available for play as long as the lights are on.

All in all, it seems like a bold addition to the city’s recreational offerings and there isn’t a councillor unwilling to support pursing the project.

“I actually want to thank Jim Gabriel and Don Backmeyer for moving so quickly on this,” said Coun. Mohini Singh, giving a nod to the city’s recreation staff.

Kelowna United Football Club is the elite division of the Central Okanagan Youth Soccer Association, which has 5,000 children and youth enrolled. More children play soccer than any other sport in Kelowna Surinder Gosal, a representative of the club, told city council.

The field will be open to the full club, and other recreation groups when it is not needed for elite division play.

With council’s blessing, city staff will now be drafting a licence of occupation and operating agreement with the club to cover the terms of construction and operation.

Y

In just four months, the Kelowna United Football Club has managed to convince the city to partner on a dome-covered artificial turf soccer field to be built at the Mission sports fields.

The deal is still in the preliminary stages, with a memorandum of understanding drafted, but signed agreements to build and operate the building are yet to come.

“You wave money and bring it to the party and it’s amazing what can happen,” said Mayor Walter Gray as he commended the club for taking the initiative to make something happen with a bold investment.

The club has a title sponsor backing the project and has agreed to pay yto design, build and opergate the new facility, in consultation with the city, -provided the city offer up the land and a 15-year lease with a five-year first,come renewal offer to fol-low.

“My only disappointdment is that it’s not a fullsized field, but I guess we ehave to walk before we -run,” said Coun. Colin t d l t

Basran, as he commended the club for finding ways to keep young players on fields within the city limits.

The field will be made of the latest in artificial turf and measure 45 metres by 73 metres, though a full-sized field would be 69-metres by 99 metres. It will be covered by a dome that is inflated during the off-season— six months open and six months covered—to offer

HAZMAT team called to probe barrel

A suspicious-looking barrel reduced highway traffic to a single lane in Lake Country on Friday, with periodic full closures, until police deter-

A hazardous materials team was called in to investigate the barrel, which was perched in the ditch about two kilometres north of Oceola Road on Highway 97, adjacent to

Wood Lake.

Flying car to fly again: pilot The flying car that crashed in a Vernon elementary school field last month will soar again.

It’s Kelowna pilot Ray Siebring doesn’t have a flight date set just yet but he isn’t letting the May 10 accident at Ellison Elementary keep him grounded.

“We believe that it is worthwhile,” said Sie-

But before any engines are fired up, the car (fabricated with an aircraft engine and fabric wing) needs some significant repairs.

PEROGY KING…Ernie Pawluk, 66, found room in his stomach

Kelowna geologist Murray Roed, who is also a painter and who spearheaded production of two books about Okanagan geology for the layman, has received a prestigious national award from his peers, for “outstanding efforts in sharing earth science with Canadians.”

In a story in the June 6 edition of the Capital News, he was incorrectly described as a geographer instead of a geologist.

Roed, along with the Kelowna Geology Committee, wrote Geology of the Kelowna Areas, and Okanagan Geology South and received the 2013 E.R. Ward Neale Medal from the Geological Association of Canada.

“He did incredible work, shooting in London, Paris, Los Angeles, Palm Springs, New York, and Hawaii,” said his mother Ute Koessler, who made the donation.

“He was a world-class photographer known for his inspired and artistic landscapes and portrait-

20 years i t h Kare w

His ability to understand light, colour and space, allowed him to capture images through the lens in a unique way, that genuinely spoke to people.”

The college called the equipment a “significant donation” to its photographic equipment.

▼ OUR VIEW

Political cabinet-making is an art

W

hen it comes to cabinet-making—the political kind— geography often plays a bigger role than ability.

While the latter can work in favour of a backbench MLA looking to move to the front benches in the Legislature, the former can sometimes prove to be a deterrent.

That appears to be what happened to Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick.

Dropped from cabinet Monday, Letnick likely didn’t do

anything wrong, he just represents a riding that not only sits too close to another cabinet minister’s riding—Steve Thomson’s Kelowna-Mission—if everything goes according to plan for the B.C. Liberals, also to Westside-Kelowna, which his boss, Premier Christy Clark, plans to call her own.

Yes, the Central Okanagan had all three of its MLAs in the last Liberal cabinet but that was more a move born of desperation than relaxed panning.

In her last government,Clark

was faced with the prospect of many veteran cabinet ministers calling it quits and she had to fill ministries with who was left.

Normally, it would be rare to have three MLAs from the same area in cabinet together.

Geographic representation in a province as large as B.C. is important and now Clark has a new, clean slate of 49 MLAs to choose from—including some high-profile rookies. So, she has to share the cabinet wealth.

Letnick’s demotion should not be viewed as punishment for

doing a bad job. The brutal reality is the premier and one cab- t inet minister is all this area was p going to get. s It’s unclear if Ben Stewart, G who stepped aside in Westside a -Kelowna so Clark can run, would have been heading back to cabinet either. That may have played a part in him offering up his seat. Who knows?

Either way, this area should still have the ear of the government. After all, the premier says she plans to call it her “second” home.

The provincial government must continue expense cleanup

A

s she unveiled her new cabinet, Premier Christy Clark promised a “lineby-line” review of government spending to deliver a balanced budget this year.

Statements such as this would have more credibility if politicians subjected their own personal spending to the same scrutiny. That’s still not happening in B.C. Expense accountability has come a long way in the last year, thanks mainly to the work of now-departed Auditor General John Doyle,

who swung the cobweb-covered door open on B.C.’s secretive Legislative Assembly Management Committee. Chaired by the Tom speaker and run by Fletcher senior MLAs from both parties, the committee had been doing pretty much whatever it wanted with MLAs’ own expenses.

Doyle’s audit found that MLA credit card bills were being paid without receipts, part of a lax accounting system that included inaccurate bank records and inadequate management

of the legislature gift shop and dining room. The operating budget of the legislature and constituencies runs to more than $60 million a year.

Now-retired speaker Bill Barisoff asked the auditor to give a pass to the $119,000 annual allowance for each of the 85 constituency offices.

Transfer amounts and payroll expenses were verified, but constituency expenses were not, likely because these records weren’t kept either.

I’m not suggesting that there has been any misuse of public funds. The point is we don’t know, and the notion of an “honour system” for politicians’ expenses has become unacceptable.

A similar toxic tale has been un-

folding in the Senate in Ottawa. It has its own secretive committee called the Board of Internal Economy, which was forced into the open after trying to sweep Senator Mike Duffy’s housing claims under the red rug of the Senate chamber.

Duffy has lived in Ottawa for decades, first as a TV host and then senator, but he decided the rules were loose enough that he could claim his summer place in Prince Edward Island as his principal residence. An audit has also found he was claiming living expenses in Ottawa while campaigning for the Conservatives back east. It turns out the key ingredient in an honour system is honour.

This mess goes back more than a century in B.C. and Canada, and has its roots in the British Parliament, where MPs and Lords had a system of claiming all sorts of expenses, including construction of a “duck house” and maintenance of the moat around an Honourable Member’s castle.

Many years ago, British MPs convinced themselves that they were underpaid, and rather than create a public fuss by giving themselves a big raise, they would be able to top it up by claiming up to 250 pounds at a time without receipts. Cheers!

PET GROOMING

▼ WESTSIDE-KELOWNA BYELECTION

Funding could limit choice in byelection To the editor: As someone who lives within the riding of Westside-Kelowna (in the Kelowna portion), I have some concerns about how democratic this byelection will be.

I am sure that the other parties, especially the smaller parties such as the Greens and B.C. Conservatives, are just recovering

financially from the recent provincial election.

The lack of funding limits these parties to be represented in the byelection, thus limiting the voters’ choice.

I, for one, do not wish to see a “coronation” of (B.C. Liberal leader) Christy Clark.

I want a ballot that is truly representive of all

parties, not just those parties which can afford to run.

I don’t like the arrogant attitude that this is a “safe” riding (for the Liberals). No party should hold this perception.

If someone from another party, or an independent, were to run, it is not impossible for them to win the byelection. But

is the cost of running preventing them from running?

Perhaps Jane Sterk, leader of the Green Party, would consider running in the byelection. Now there is someone who, in my opinion, reflects and relates to the thoughts of many voters in this riding.

Unfortunately, because of the costs in-

volved, voters choices will remain limited.

What would happen if there was only one name on our ballot? Is that truly an election or is it a crowning?

I will vote in the byelection, but it would be great to have more than one name to choose from!

“METRO”

There’s no need to have an expensive byelection To the editor: Big head line: “NDP ready to fight byelection battle.”

Really? (NDP leader) Mr. Dix: Why didn’t you just win the election on May 14th?

You had a 20-point (public opinion poll) lead going into it. It was yours

to lose—which is exactly what you did.

Now, here was an opportunity for you to show a little grace and class, by saying, the people of British Columbia clearly chose Christy Clark and the Liberals to lead us in the next four years, and we will not

run a candidate to oppose what the people asked for.

It’s sort of an unspoken tradition in politics.

Strong local roots in the community would be Christy Clark. Who the heck would be better to represent the Westside than the premier?

Mr. Dix maybe hasn’t heard that we are very used to having premiers represent us in this area.

First we heard that the NDP would not run a candidate and then, flip-flop.

And in choosing to run someone, the NDP has created an expensive byelection, .

My bet is whoever is approached to run for the NDP locally will turn them down flat, having more brains than their leader.

▼ ECOLOGY

Uncontrolled development is a recipe for disaster To the editor: Recently, at the ecology conference hosted by UBCO, renowned ecologist, David Schindler, warned that uncontrolled development is a recipe for disaster.

He has seen here the result of more people, grandiose development, congestion and traffic problems etc. He said many people are fed up with densification because it is futile.

He stated development must be slowed down regardless of whether growth proponents such as developers like it or not.

He explained that failure to slow growth and development would result in water shortages, drought,

pollution, disease epidemics and horrendous traffic problems etc.

He believes that the people should decide what level of growth and development is slowed down.

Schindler is correct.

The public, through referendum or an independent agency like the Okanagan Basin Water Board, should be deciding and controlling development and growth here.

Also needed is public awareness of ecological problems. A major concern is that Okanagan Lake can’t handle endless development and population growth. Clean water shortages and drought in our semi-desert area is only a matter of time.

City sewage treatment facilities are limited in protecting human health. Indeed, experts warn that pharmaceuticals excreted from human bodies and other chemicals can enter Okanagan Lake from city sewage treatment facilities. Pollutants, toxins, heavy metals, bacteria, viruses etc., can enter the lake through city storm drains.

The growing brew of chemicals, toxins, bacteria, and viruses can turn Okanagan Lake into a silent health killer.

Many chemicals soluble in water can molecularly bind together forming potent compounds.

Viruses can mutate into stronger drug-resistant strains.

The faster growth increases, the faster the lake becomes an unusable cesspool. For the sake of you and your children’s health, why let the growth pushers keep the polluting growth tap wide open?

The real danger is the fanaticism and the arrogant sense of entitlement of the growth and development cult.

These worshippers and pushers of growth such as the chamber of commerce, Urban Development Institute and our city council remain in their business bubble, avoiding ecological reality.

They treat and worship growth and development as a god. Stupefied, they believe profits from

growth and development will make them rich and will solve all problems.

They remain in denial that our small planet Earth is finite and that endless exponential growth and development is impossible without eventual catastrophic consequences, including human extinction.

Endless uncontrolled development and growth is a recipe for disaster not only here, but for Canada and the world. The biggest threat to our planet is the ecological ignorance and greed of the pro-growth and development cult. It is exploiting, plundering and destroying nature’s life-sustaining carrying capacity.

Robert Cichocki, Kelowna

Expense transparency needed Express yourself

f Fletcher from A8 worked out. As one observer put it, the system was not only open to abuse, it was actually designed for it.

Here in B.C., the next step is obvious. If you go to the website of Alberta Premier Alison Redford, you can easily find the link to her detailed expense reports, itemized for travel, meals, ho-

tel rooms and so forth. Alberta cabinet ministers provide the same disclosure.

B.C. cabinet ministers’ travel expenses are now reported, but only as an occasional lump sum.

As a result of Doyle’s revelations last summer, B.C.’s Legislative Assembly Management Committee now meets in public, with transcripts of proceedings available.

But MLA expenses are still not itemized. Total expenditures are being reported on a quarterly basis, but with no detail to explain why some MLAs have much higher totals than others.

It’s time to sweep out the cobwebs.

West Kelowna honours junior firefighters Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Twelve graduates of the West Kelowna Junior Firefighter Program showed off a few of the skills they’ve learned at a ceremony late last week in the Glenrosa Fire Hall.

First, the young men raced to put on their equipment and complete all necessary safety checks in under two minutes. Then they demonstrated a search and rescue exercise in front of family members, senior firefighters and local politicians in the audience.

Mount Boucherie Senior Secondary’s Junior Firefighter Program has been teaching aspiring firefighters a wide variety of skills for five years; it’s organized through a partnership between School District 23 and West Kelowna Fire Rescue.

Participants learn basic techniques such as the proper way to load the trucks and deploy the hoses. They also get to take part in live action training putting out car fires, dumpster fires and even structure fires from the outside.

“It’s wonderful because they get so much experience in a very short period of time,” said Jerry Rawson, a paid on-call firefighter and English teacher at Mount Boucherie Senior Secondary who is in charge of instructing the junior firefighters.

He noted many of his students are initially interested in simply learning more about firefighting; however, many discover it is the type of job they’d like to pursue.

“What our department does is teaches them and helps them challenge the professional qualifications so, if they really want to be full-time firefighters and apply for jobs any place in North America, they can do that.”

West Kelowna Fire Rescue assistant fire chief Darren Lee said the program also offers students credit toward graduation.

“I wish I had this when I was in high school,” said Lee.

Along with specific firefighting skills, Lee said the students learn the importance of teamwork, cooperation and collaboration.

It also benefits West Kelowna Fire Rescue.

“Recruiting and retention is really tough right now. This gives us a pool of people who we can hire—they still have to compete for the job against all the other guys and girls—but we know them…I think this sets the tone.”

Brandon Moore was awarded best overall junior firefighter at the graduation ceremony Thursday evening.

He said he recommends the Junior Firefighter Program to anyone who is slightly interested.

“You get a family out of this,” said Moore.

“You fail as a team or you pass as a team here.”

Moore said he appreciated receiving the best overall junior firefighter award, but noted he couldn’t have earned it without the other 11 graduates of the program.

“There’s no, ‘I’m the biggest guy out there,’ or, ‘I’m the strongest.’

“I’m helping these guys and they’re helping me—we all build each other up.”

Air North, founded in 1977 by Sparling and Thomas Wood, is headquartered in Whitehorse and is now owned

by Sparling, the Vuntut Development Corporation and 1,400 individual Yukon shareholders.

It is the largest airline in the Yukon and one of only five airlines in Canada that provide yearround, scheduled domestic air service using jets.

It employs 200 people in the Yukon and another 60 in Vancouver and has routes connecting the Yukon with B.C., Alberta and the Northwest Territories.

Garden tours offer inspiration I love garden tours.

They provide an opportunity to see new plants, get ideas and find out how the gardens have evolved.

The Kelowna Garden Tour was started by the Diggers and Weeders Garden Club in 1997. I remember it well.

My parents’ (Arthur and Vitie HughesGames) garden was on that first tour. The garden had evolved over 50 years from a half acre of bush around their new home on Christleton Avenue.

Mom and dad were thrilled to share their labour of love with the 800 ticket holders.

Even though their four children were long gone, they still had an enormous and very productive vegetable garden.

The flower gardens were numerous and beautiful including a hedge of peonies, some of which had been my grandmothers.

My husband and I had opened our plant nursery the year before and were

Gwen Steele invited to sell our plants in the garden I grew up in a garden where I had learned to love gardening.

The Kelowna Garden Tour is now known as the Kelowna Flower Power Garden Tour and is a fundraiser for Ballet Kelowna. This year it will be held June 15, with nine beautiful gardens on show.

Many are gardens that have evolved over years and been lovingly tended by their owners.

Two compliment heritage homes and three are water-wise gardens.

Several have vegetable gardens which are of increasing interest.

There will be live music, food, art displays, and gardening experts.

end neck &back pain

ADVERTISING FEATURE

now!

Every year more than 14.3 million office visits for back pain are reported. It’s the second-most frequent reason that people visit their doctor. The results of these visits are predictable. The options are rest, hot and cold packs, pain medication, and physical therapy. Chronic sufferers looking for relief soon hear that only two paths exist — either live with the pain, or undergo surgery. Spinal Care Canada Solutions is a non-invasive, in-office procedure that may offer quick relief as well as long-term results for neck pain, back pain, herniated, bulging or degenerated discs, sciatica, and osteoarthritis. Spinal Care Canada uses an FDA-registered computerized mechanism that provides for exacting treatment of the cervical spine (neck) as well as the lumbar spine (low back).

This approach is to non-surgically treat the actual cause of neck and back pain. If you have bulging and herniated discs, neck pain, back pain, sciatica, post-surgical failures, arthritis and related challenges, you have an altogether new chance to possibly relieve nagging and chronic pain. People across the province using Spinal Care Canada Solutions are

reporting relief of their pain. They are requiring less medication and are able to enjoy normal everyday activities again. Spinal Care Canada Solutions can be a relaxing procedure that may provide relief from the symptoms of pain and may also stimulate the natural, self-healing abilities of your body.

Spinal Care Canada Solutions is non-invasive and does not require drug therapy. The procedure uses a FDA-registered computer-controlled machine to provide gentle distraction of the afflicted spinal areas. Many patients have been successfully treated with Spinal Care Canada Solutions. It delivers genuine decompression to the area of the spine that needs it, which may offer immediate relief too and may allow the body to flood the area with vital nutrients of which the area has typically been starved. Many patients report that effects of Spinal Care Canada Solutions treatment begin almost immediately. Some patients report pain relief after only a few sessions. Spinal Care Canada Solutions enables many patients to return to work and return to a more active and fulfilling lifestyle. Benefits of

Spinal Care Canada Solutions are as follows: • • • • •

No surgery No injections or needles Procedure is non-invasive There is no recovery period (like surgery) Average treatment time is about four-six weeks with minimal follow-up

Spinal Care Canada Solutions is quickly emerging as a preferred and efficient, cost-effective method for addressing pain. Many people are suffering needlessly! Spinal Care Canada wants those suffering from chronic neck and back pain to know there are treatment options at their clinics.

Spinal Care Canada is pleased to offer Spinal Care Canada Solutions so that neck and back pain sufferers can get their lives back on track. With a simple examination, doctors can determine quickly if someone is a candidate for Spinal Care Canada Solutions. Call Spinal Care Canada for your personal appointment today!

Housing starts drop here Put Navy Seal in your HR planning Housing starts in the greater Kelowna area dipped slightly in May compared with the number in April, says the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

According to CMHC’s monthly report, the number was “trending” at 800 units in May, compared to 839 units in April.

The “trend,” is a sixmonth moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates of housing starts.

“Kelowna area housing starts trended slightly lower in May,” explained Paul Fabri, CMHC’s senior market analyst for Kelowna.

“The starts trend reflects moderating levels of

multiple-family construction. The single-detached starts trend has remained relatively stable during the past six months.”

CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly numbers of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market.

CMHC says in some situations, analyzing only the seasonally adjusted annual rates can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets which can be quite variable from one-month to the next.

The stand-alone

monthly seasonally adjusted annual rate was 605 units in May, down from 811 units in April.

In Vernon the area, new home construction has maintained a steady pace in 2013.

Both May and year-todate starts were similar to levels reported in 2012.

In other areas of B.C., such as the Kamloops area, the actual number of housing starts were up compared to levels recorded in May 2012.

Higher levels of multiple-family starts accounted for the increas there.

But in Prince George, housing starts moved lower compared to last year, said CMHC.

Thinking, acting and believing in your entrepreneurial success

I

have started to reread, for the second time, Dr. John C. Maxwell’s wonderful short book, How Successful People Think. It’s124 pages of exacting words of guidance and enlightenment on the journey of thinking ourselves to become truly the best that we can be.

Maxwell espouses, “change your thinking, change your life.”

As I began the first chapter, my thoughts drifted quickly to an exceptional person my daughter recently introduced me to over coffee at Bliss on Ellis in Kelowna and I, through this chance introduction, was reminded aptly on the true meaning of the entrepreneurial dream.

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young ator and founder of Just Be Friends, was born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan of a single mother who, in the 1980s knew the meaning of lessthan-middle-class as she worked three jobs to provide for Janice and her two older sisters.

Janice attributes her work ethic to her mother and remains loyal to her mother’s steadfast principles.

What I find awe-inspiring is that Janice achieved a BA with hon-

ours in pyschology with a focus on self-esteem and efficacy among women and honed her pre-entrepreneurial skills during a 10-year career stop in pharmaceutical sales, during which she built a highly successful real estate investment portfolio.

Before I go further, let me highlight what Just Be Friends is. Just Be Friends includes a social networking website for families which, simply put, teaches children how to connect with their world for friendships and ultimately, relationships.

It includes the Just Be Friends Foundation and programs such as A Million Acts of Friendship, a school-based program See Young A16

T

he book No Easy Day, by Mark Owen, is a first-person account of the lead up to, and execution of, the U.S. Navy Seal mission that killed Osama Bin Laden. If there’s a lesson that story brings home, it’s that there’s only so much value to planning and that reacting effectively is the key to success.

In the spring of 2011, Owen was assigned to a highly secret operation which would train at a military base in North Carolina. Every detail of Bin Laden’s suspected compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan had been reconstructed from aerial surveillance (video and still images).

The plan was to airlift in, in the dead of night, in two helicopters. The first SEAL team would split into two groups—one “fast roping” down onto the roof of Bin Laden’s home and the other taking up position outside the compound to provide “external security.” The second team would rope down within the compound’s walls and secure the buildings at ground level before working their way up from the first floor of the residence.

The two SEAL teams would converge on the third floor of the home where the C.I.A. suspected Bin Laden was residing. The assault teams rehearsed every detail of the mission before flying to the departure point at Jalalabad, Afghanistan near the border with Pakistan.

The night of the mission, things started going awry almost immediately upon the helicopters’ arrival at the Bin Laden

Robert Smithson compound. The Black Hawk in which the author, Owen, was riding became uncontrollable and ended up crash-landing, leaving its tail stuck on the compound’s wall.

The pilots of the second Black Hawk, having seen the first one crash, pre-empted their plan and landed outside the compound’s walls so nobody “fast roped” onto the roof of the residence.

The advantage of surprise was surely lost through all the noise and delay.

The first obstacle faced by Owen and his partner, a set of metal double doors to a guest house, proved to be a greater challenge than anticipated—the doors were locked and a sledgehammer had no effect. Before they could set off a charge to blow the doors open, they were being shot at from inside.

The second team, already behind schedule and out of position, tried to blow open a gate to gain access to the compound. When they did, they found a brick wall obstructing their route and had to try another access point—they were supposed to be hitting the third floor of the residence but still hadn’t even gained entry to the compound.

As the two teams gradually converged on the residence and worked their way upstairs, detonating explosives along

the way to bypass locked doors, the occupants—especially those up on the third floor—had ample warning and plenty of time to grab weapons and plan their defence.

They made their way to the third floor without injury and Bin Laden was shot at the first opportunity. As Owen described it, “BOP. BOP. The point man had seen a man peeking out of the door on the right side of the hallway about 10 feet in front of him. I couldn’t tell from my position if the rounds hit the target or not. The man disappeared into the dark room.”

The man had, indeed, been Bin Laden and he had been shot through the head. According to Owen, there were weapons in the room but they were still sitting on a shelf above the doorway, unloaded, and it appeared Bin Laden “had no intention of fighting.”

The SEALs now had to destroy the crashed helicopter, but the explosives tech initially misunderstood that order and started distributing charges around the ground floor of the house until someone clarified that they wanted him to blow up the helicopter, not the house.

Finally, with time already run out on them, their departure by air from the site was delayed by the pending detonation of the crashed aircraft. Ultimately, the remaining Black Hawk and a calledup CH-47 helicopter made it back to Jalalabad with their payload—24 Navy SEALs and one occupied body bag.

So, what does any of this have to do with hu-

man resources? The point is that in many, many difficult situations involving employees there are simply too many variables to accurately predict the outcome.

Whether it’s a question of accommodating a disability, of terminating an employee for cause, or of negotiating terms of settlement, I often say to clients:, “The picture in the crystal ball gets fuzzy very quickly.” Although it seems to be the objective of business people to try and predict and control every possibility, they really can’t.

This doesn’t mean planning is unimportant.

But the practical reality is that when there is someone pushing back against every action you take, it is difficult (if not impossible) to control how a scenario will play out.

At some point, you just have to take off and head for your target and know that your experience and intuition will help you make good decisions along the way. As the Admiral in charge of the teams raiding the Bin Laden home said: “The most important thing is to get them on the ground safe, and they’ll figure out the rest.”

that rewards healthy social behaviours plus acts of friendship with special weekly incentives.

Visionary, you say, absolutely.

Janice told me with a passionate glow, that once she had the core concept for Just Be Friends, she worked extremely hard to research anything and everything in the technology marketplace to prepare her for her entrepreneurial introduction into that marketplace.

Let me say at this point that, as John Maxwell adds, “ a visionary company is like a great work of art—think of a beautifully designed building. You can’t point to any one single item that makes the whole thing work—it’s all the pieces working together which leads to enduring entrepreneurial greatness.”

Spending some time with Janice, I learned very quickly that this lady means business and in-

novation and creativity is her mantra.

From the germ of her entrepreneurial idea, she was selected as one of Oprah Winfrey’s 150 “ultimate viewers” and travelled with Winfrey on a two-week trip of a lifetime to Australia.

Chosen as one of 12 Tech Women in Canada, Janice also spent four months in Silicon Valley before returning home to join Accelerate Okanagan and setting down her foundation for Just Be Friends in the Okanagan.

In March, Janice added to her laurels, when she was selected by CBC Radio as a recipient of Saskatchewan Future 40, recognizing successful entrepreneurs under the age of 40.

There is even a feeling this dynamo of entrepreneurial zeal could, one day, be listed on the Fortune 500.

Heat battle hard at Spring Sizzle

KELOWNA PITCHER Anne-Marie Crandlemire delivers a pitch to the plate as the Heat tries to rally back against the Ridge Meadow Rage in the playoff round of the Spring Sizzle U16 girls fastball tournament Sunday at High Noon.

The host Kelowna Heat put up a fight before going down to defeat at the Spring Sizzle U16 B girls fastball tournament at High Noon Park.

In their second game of the playoff round Sunday, the Heat slipped behind 11-0 early against the Ridge Meadow Rage, then staged a furious rally before eventually falling short, 11-9.

Kelowna went 2-0-1 in pool play on Saturday, then tied Abbotsford 4-4 in the playoffs.

Injuries were a factor for the Heat during the weekend as two key players were lost during the playoff round.

All things considered, Heat coach Doug Fish-

er was pleased with his team’s effort throughout the weekend.

“I was really happy with the way the girls played,” said Fisher. “For the girls to get behind the 8-ball like they did in the playoffs and battle back, that was good to see. Even though we didn’t get to the final, it was a good couple of days of ball.”

The Heat will fine tune over the next several weeks for the Softball B.C. provincial U16 championship, which will be held July 12 to 14 in Port Alberni.

Many of the members of the Heat played on last year’s Heat U14 B provincial championship team.

In an effort to solidify their blue line, the West Kelowna Warriors have sacrificed a key forward to acquire a veteran defenceman.

The BCHL club has traded forward Reid Simmons to the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s Fort McMurray Oil Barons in exchange for rearguard Taylor Graham The 6-foot, 180 pound Grahamin 56 games for the Oil Barons last year, tallying five goals and 21 assists.

Simmonds put up back-to-back 19 point seasons with Warriors, playing in 53 games each of the last two years. He also had five goals in the last playoff run with West Kelowna.

“We felt we really needed to add a veteran defenseman that could play in all situations,” said Warriors head coach/GM Rylan Ferster. “They are very hard to find and even harder to acquire. Taylor will be this guy for us next year.”

CONTRIBUTED

THE WEST Kelowna Warriors have acquired

defenceman Taylor Graham from the AJHL’s Fort McMurray Oil Barons.

Ferster said it’s always hard to trade away good players.

“Unfortunately, you have to give up an important piece to acquire one,” he said. “Reid was with us for two years and had been one if our most consistent forwards night in

and night out. We want to thank him for his contributions to the program and wish him luck with his new team.”

Graham will be in town mid-August for the start of Warriors’ main training camp.

Futures tennis returns to town

For the second year in a row, some of the world’s top up-and-coming young tennis players will showcase their skills in the Okanagan.

The second annual Kelowna Futures Tennis Tournament, featuring $15,000 in prize money, will be held June 29 to July 7 at the Parkinson Rec Centre Courts.

The event will provide valuable ATP Tour world-ranking points to the competitors and is sanctioned by Tennis Canada and the InterD national Tennis Federation.

Futures tournaments are a launching pad for professional tennis playters in their quest to com-pete in ATP and Grand mSlam events. The Futures htournament in Kelowna will attract world-ranked nplayers ranging from No. e200 to 1500, elite NCAA Division 1 collegiate players, as well as top Canadian men and junior competitors.

“This years event will be bigger and better than our very successful inaugural tournament in 2012,” said Joachim Nierfeld, tournament or-

ganizer ands Tennis B.C. Regional Director” This elite tournament will be the tennis highlight of the year and will provide great entertainment for sports fans and inspiration for our rising junior stars.”

In conjunction with the tournament the Little Aces Community Tennis Program will be featured on July 5. The program encourages children 12 years of age and under to take up this sport for a lifetime.

Little Aces has been developed by Tennis Canada and Tennis BC in partnership with the City of Kelowna and the Kelowna School District.

PETRO, LORENE GERMAINE

SODERBERG, BOBBIE NORMAN (Best known as BOB or ROBERT)

Nothing is forever.

There is only now, the moment, the love you bear, the knowledge that love is about letting go, and that the power of a person’s grief is a reflection of the depth of their love.

1922 ~ 2013 Lorene Petro passed away peacefully on March 4, 2013 at the age of 90. She is lovingly remembered by her son Richard Padmos, daughter Rhonda (Don Pope) Padmos, brother Milton (Verna) Wilson, sister Iveigh (Elmer) Urban, grandchildren: Raven (Derek Wolfe) Padmos, Aramis Padmos, Meghan (Roland Simmons) Hunter, Jordan Padmos, Selene (Alex Sanchez) Pope, Jullian Pope, and Ivy Padmos. She was predeceased by her loving husband John Petro, son Rod Padmos, and grandson Wilson Padmos. Lorene loved music and began playing the piano at the age of 8. She was an accomplished pianist and was the last living member of the “Johnny Petro Band” which was well known throughout British Columbia and Alberta.

Her music lives on through the music of several of her grandchildren; she was an inspiration to many.

A “Celebration of Life Tea” will be held on Tuesday, June 18, 2013 at 11:00 am at Valleyview Funeral Home, 165 Valleyview Road Kelowna.

Arrangements entrusted to VALLEYVIEW FUNERAL HOME, Honoured Provider of Dignity Memorial 250-765-3147.

JACK

ID#298169

PUPPY JACK RUSSELL TERRIER NEUTERED MALE

OMG! Jack is adorable. He loves bouncing around the backyard, chasing his ball & whatever moves. He is cute, but his breed is not content to sit around and do nothing. He will stay highly energetic, needs to challenged & socialized (meaning puppy obedience classes are a must). Please do lots and lots of research on the breed if you are considering adopting Jack. If you are confident that you can offer him the best home ever, come down for a one-on-meeting.

In as little as 10 minutes your vehicle can reach temperatures which can seriously harm your pet.

Please leave pets at home If you see a dog in a car on a warm or humid day who you believe may be in trouble, ask stores to page customers. If the dog is in distress call your local SPCA, animal control or police immediately.

He has a nice mellow personality, but still LOVES to play. His fav things are snuggling, head rubs & following my buddies around at the shelter begging for attention. He is good with other felines, so if you think that Tibbs would make an excellent addition to your family, come down and spend some time with him.

She comes bounding up when you call, knows some basic commands and is generally a well rounded dog with years of love to give. Please ask the staff to set up a meet and greet with her.

To report an animal in distress… call

Zeus is your typical lap dog So far we know he is good with other small dogs, is a big fearful when he first meets people, but once he knows he is in safe hands he will be your ‘friend for life’. He should not be in a family with small children as he might have less patience. If you would like to make this little cutie an addition to your home, come down & meet him.

If you are looking for a lovable lap dog, come down and meet her... you will quickly fall in love - honest!

CAPITAL NEWS

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen real health food I love cookbooks, and I won a cookbook called RealFood RealHealth the other day. It’s a local one, printed by Wayside Press in Vernon and written by physician Maureen Clement and Kathryn Hettler, an organic farmer and co-owner of Pilgrims’ Produce in the North Okanagan.

Maureen has contributed some excellent common-sense information about the basics of good health, including the admonition that eating ‘real food’ is a great beginning towards better health. In other words, eat food that’s still in its original package: the earth!

Kathryn has contributed information about preparing just about every fruit and vegetable, as well as some dairy, grains and meats grown in the Okanagan.

It’s all divided into categories and arranged in alphabetical order, so if you have fresh blueberries, for instance, you can easily find out how to handle and store them; serve them and make some dishes from them.

There’s even recipes for some wild food, like chokecherries and pin cherries, as well as saskatoons.

It’s available from the website at: www.pilgrimsproduce.com/book. html And, there’s a guide to local growers at the back.

It’s a great little book crammed full of information, and it has some pretty good recipes in it, two of which I’ve shared here.

There are are lots of seasonal recipes for produce available fresh here in the Okanagan in my book too. It’s called Jude’s Kitchen and it’s available wherever books are sold, including wine shops.

Incidentally, outdoor patios at local wineries are beginning to open for the summer, with Mission Hill Family Estate’s Terrace Restaurant already open for the season for lunch and dinner, and CedarCreek’s Vineyard Terrace opening on the weekend for lunch daily and brunch on Saturdays and Sundays.

Both feature fabulous food with excellent wines and panoramic views out over vineyards and Okanagan Lake.

Rhubarb Surprise I have not made this, but it looks scrumptious, and is another sample of the sort of recipe you can expect to find in this book.

Local rhubarb is at its peak right now, so dig in and enjoy its flavour and nutrition while it's available.

FIRST LAYER:

1/2 c. (125 ml) butter 2 c. (500 ml) flour 2 tbsp. (30 ml) sugar

SECOND LAYER:

5 c. (1 l) chopped rhubarb 5 egg yolks 1 1/2 c. (375 ml) sugar 1/4 c. (60 ml) flour 1 c. (250 ml) milk or cream

THIRD LAYER:

5 egg whites 1/2 c. (125 ml) sugar 2 tsp. (10 ml) vanilla finely chopped nuts

Melt butter and combine with flour and sugar for first layer. You may substitute half whole wheat flour. Press into a 9x13-inch pan. Bake 10 minutes at 350 F. For the second layer, combine the rhubarb, beaten egg yolks, sugar, flour and milk or cream for the custard. Pour over the baked crust. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes at 350 F. Beat egg whites, gradually adding sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.

Spoon over rhubarb custard.

Chop nuts such as walnuts or hazelnuts and sprinkle over the top.

Bake for 10 to 15 minutes at 350 F. Slice and serve.

JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS

Simplest Swiss Chard Pie This is absolutely delicious and I’ve tried it both with chard and with kale, hot and cold.

I’m sure it would also be terrific with spinach or other greens.

Try pairing this with a herbaceous sauvignon blanc or zesty pinot blanc.

12 c. (3 l) chard leaves 1/2 large onion 2 eggs 1 c. (250 ml) grated cheese salt and pepper Pre-heat the oven to 350 F. Wash the chard leaves, or kale or spinach, and chop roughly.

Chop the onion, beat the eggs in a small bowl and grate the cheese. I used Swiss with

a little fresh parmesan, but any cheese would be good.

I also boiled the kale for about a minute, but that wouldn’t be necessary for other greens, and may not have been needed with the kale.

Drizzle a little oil in a large pan over medium heat and soften the onions in it. Add the chopped greens and stir around until they become limp, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.

Put into a greased nine or 10-inch pie pan. Pour the beaten eggs over it, mix them in a bit and sprinkle with the cheese.

Bake for about 20 minutes or until the cheese bubbles.

Serves 4 to 6.

Some simple guidelines for readers of Jude's Kitchen

There are some basics about my cooking that you should know about in using the recipes created for Jude’s Kitchen. *I mean a large egg when a recipe calls for an egg *usually, butter and margarine are interchangeable *usually, salt and pepper is added to your taste *I generally use sea salt

*fresh ingredients top frozen or canned *organic products are my first choice *wherever possible, I use whole grains, not processed *include a variety of them, when possible *wherever possible, I use fresh herbs *fewer quantities of dried herbs are needed than fresh

*I use extra virgin olive oil *I use grapeseed or olive oil to cook with *I don’t deep fry *feel free to substitute. I do *have fun in the kitchen *encourage others to as well
