New ag minister eager to learn issues Judie Steeves

STAFF REPORTER

Despite the austerity talk in Victoria, new agriculture minister Pat Pimm says there wasn’t a reduction in the budget for his new ministry from that presented in February, when the new budget came down last week. That means both the Buy Local program and the School Fruit and Vegetable program are still there, but that there’s no new money for an orchard replant program. However, he maintains that the orchard industry is important and he intends to pursue items the former minister was working on. The last minister, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick, had committed to do what he could to come up with a longer-term replant program. “We will do our best to work some certainty into it. A long-term strategy is needed,” Pimm said. He admits it’s a very diverse ministry and says he’s spent the first couple of weeks getting up to speed on some of the issues. See Issues A4

Fipke donates $1 million for new trauma room Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

When it comes to a state-ofthe-art, life-saving trauma room, Kelonwa General Hospital now stands apart in Canada. Thanks to a $1 million donation from famed local geologist Charles “Chuck” Fipke, KGH has a new trauma room that hospital officials say is the best

equipped in the country. “When Charles made the donation he has just one request, ‘make it the best,’” said KGH chief of staff Dr. Mike Ertel. The room, with the latest in medical technology, including a portable digital x-ray machine that can deliver full x-rays in mere moments, its own dedicated ultrasound machine, full video capabilities to show at-

tending medical students what is being done as well as help the doctors navigate inside the human body, a machine to treat hypothermic patients and a host of other high-tech equipment, will be used to treat what Dr. Paul Linden, trauma services director at KGH, called “the sickest of the sick.” The trauma department treats, on average, about five

Pipelines and politics focus of debate The issue of pipelines—as well as several others, including education, the government’s relationship with teachers, First Nations rights and the environment—is returning to the Central Okanagan. With the announcement that the executive vice-president for Western access for Enbridge, Janet Holder, will speak to the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce here Friday, a group calling itself the Westside-Kelowna By-Election Discussion Group has announced plans to hold a public forum Saturday, July 6, at the Unitarian Hall in downtown Ke-

lowna, located at 1310 Bertram Street. The forum, scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m., is being billed as a chance to discuss issues relevant to the upcoming Westside-Kelowna byelection. The speakers will include Alice Rees, the outgoing president of Central Okanagan Teacher’s Association; Damien Gillis, filmmaker; Joan Phillip, a long -time Okanagan aboriginal leader and activist from Penticton; and Charles Boylan, a radio broadcaster. The moderator will be Robert MacDonald, of the Okanagan Institute.

Gillis and Philip were speakers at a forum about the proposed pipeline here in the spring and both spoke out against it. “The byelection is an opportunity to discuss the practice of the Liberal government and hold it to account,” said Boylan of the upcoming forum. On Friday, Holder will speak to the chamber about her company’s plans to meet the five demands set by the provincial government to gain its support of the Northern Gateway pipeline project. The chamber luncheon is a ticketed event with tickets costing

On Thursday, July 4, at the Westbank Lions Community Hall, the eight candidates in the Westside-Kelowna byelection will face off in an all-candidates debate. Premier Christy Clark, the NDP’s Carole Gordon, B.C. Conservative Sean Upshaw, Jag Bhandari of B.C.

Historic St. Mary’s Church celebrates 75th Barry Gerding EDITOR

The St. Mary’s Anglican Church will mark its 75 anniversary with a special celebration planned for Sunday, July 7, starting with a regular church service followed by a lunch outside from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Weather permitting, the lunch will be held outdoors at the church site, 2710 East Kelowna Rd., next to the East Kelowna Community Hall. “If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll just move the celebration inside the community hall,” said Marj Gill, a long-time church member. As has been the history of the church, the event will be the result of church members pulling together to put on the event, carrying on a tradition of community that has been the hallmark of the rural church dating back to 1937. At that time, plans were made by a group of East Kelowna landowners, largely immigrants who had come to the area from the British Isles to buy land and start fruit orchards, to build a new church. A Kelowna contractor, Hector Miranda, designed the building, with the construction carried out by 45 to 50 volunteers. On July 4, 1938, St. Mary’s Church was con-

Some of the church members today are descendants of those original volunteers. The congregation today has expanded its reach beyond the East Kelowna area to across the Okanagan. Sylvia Blackburne, who has lived her whole life in East Kelowna, remembers going to the church after it was built when she was just 7. Later, she was married at the church. Her husband was one of the volunteers who helped build it, Her

daughter was also married in the church. Blackburne is from one of six original family church members still attending St. Mary’s. Blackburne recalls growing up in East Kelowna was far different than today, where modern transportation has made access to the rest of Kelowna and the Okanagan much easier. “Back then, you went to town (downtown Kelowna) maybe once a week. Not everyone had cars back then and the roads weren’t always in the best condition,” recalled Blackburne, noting

the church was an important gathering point for the local community. Today, Blackburne is still a church volunteer, very involved in preserving its history. “There was always a sense of family, of community, with this church and that has carried on today,” she said She noted that while the congregation numbers 25 to 30 who regularly attend Sunday services, it is always full for Christmas and Easter services, along with weddings and funerals. Gill adds that sense of

community is reflected by the strong volunteer identity among the congregation, which explains why the church has remained debt-free. Major additions over the 75 years to St. Mary’s, which was modelled after the St. Andrew’s Church in the Mission, started with a a double-wide building added next to the church in 1986 to serve as a parish hall. In 2004, the west wall of the church was removed and an apse added to provide extra seating and a play area for children. The apse was designed by an architect friend of the church’s reverend at the time, David Griffin, who came to visit his friend and the church, and was then inspired to come up with a design for the addition. The addition opened Nov. 28, 2004. Currently, St. Mary’s is a part-time parish. Rev. Alan Akehurst was the priest from 2007 until his retirement in 2012. Rev. Albert McLane has been appointed as the interim church priest. Blackburne said along with the anniversary lunch, there will old church photographs and other memorabilia on display at the event this weekend, as well as a video interviewing some original church members that was produced for the 50th anniversary celebration.

Korean War vets honoured with service medals Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

About 40 people watched as 17 medals were handed out to veterans of the Korean War or their surviving family at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 26 in Kelowna late last week. “Over the past several years there’s been a lot of recognition

(of the war), but it took a while to get (the soldiers) recognized,” said George Barr, Unit 50 president of the Korea Veterans Association of Canada. “It took a while to get recognized because it was sort of a Korean conflict (rather than) a war. “But how do you tell (516) wives and widows that it wasn’t a war?”

Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan thanked the veterans for their service. “Each one of you played a role,” said Cannan. “Because of your efforts, we have a better Canada and a stronger world.” Korea deputy consul-general Seon Cheol Park presented the veterans or their family members with the medals.

“Simply, I want to assure that we, the Korean people, don’t forget what you did in Korea 60 years ago,” said Park. “You worked so hard to defend the people you never met— we cherish what you did in Korea.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

Make sure drop box payments do not include cash, are placed in an envelope and attached to accompanying paperwork, and that submitted forms are completed in full. Avoid lineups by claiming your Home Owner Grant online via the district’s website www.districtofwestkelowna.ca. Go to Online Services on the home page and follow the instructions. Once you’ve claimed your grant, you can also pay your taxes online by selecting the link to your financial institution and selecting “West Kelowna– Taxes” as the bill payee. While every effort is made to ensure efficient operations during tax season, time delays can be

minimized by taking the following steps: 1. If claiming the HOG in person, ensure the application on your tax notice is completed in full and signed before attending to the tax counter. 2. A HOG must still be applied for regardless of method of payment (i.e: whether taxes are paid through pre-authorized payment plan or by a mortgage company.) To avoid a 10 penalty, please ensure the HOG is claimed by July 5. 3. If paying by cheque, fill it out in advance and include your tax roll number on the cheque. Any current taxes not paid by the close of business on July 5 are subject to a 10 per cent penalty. Those who are unable to pay their full taxes can reduce their penalty by paying as much as possible and claiming the HOG by the July 5 due date. And postmarks are not accepted as a proof of payment date.

Safely enjoy the heat outdoors I hope you didn’t find yourself complaining about the heat over the weekend—especially after all the complaining you’ve been doing about the rain the previous couple of weeks. There’s simply not much we can do about the weather, other than complain or dress for it. Better to prepare for it than just sit there and grumble. Dressing in layers is essential at every time of year in this part of the world. You may start out feeling cold, but you can heat up pretty quickly if you’re burning a few calories in an outside activity, so you need to be able to shed some layers and still be decent, in order to be comfortable. Light rain jackets now can be rolled up into your daypack when the sun comes out, and there are some wonderful fabrics out there that wick moisture away from your skin so they’re much more comfortable in a range of temperature and weather conditions. Above all, don’t for-

A group of friends went hiking along the Mission Greenway the other day, and apparently the mosquitoes are out in hordes. So make sure you protect yourself with a repellant that contains DEET and cover your skin in light, loose clothing. Nowadays, a hat is essential, because even when it’s overcast there are still UV rays getting through that cloud and your skin can burn pretty quickly in summer. Hydration is also a vital consideration, so make sure you and your youngsters not only carry enough water for the trip

you’re on, but that the kids are actually drinking it. This is the first week of the summer holidays, and there are lots of activities for youngsters, including those organized by recreation departments in Kelowna, West Kelowna and Lake Country. Go to their websites for details of what’s happening. The YMCA also has programs for youngsters through the summer and there are outdoor camps such as that at Silver Lake, which is coordinated by the Y, as well as aquatic activities. All are geared toward educating youngsters in safe ways to enjoy the outdoors. That’s a focus of regional district programs too, including the Summer Nature Camps at Mission Creek or Bertram Creek Regional Parks. There are Summer Story Time in the park programs Tuesday mornings at Mission Creek too, for little ones. Families in Parks will feature a special program July 13 at Woodhaven Nature Conservancy

Regional Park and there’ll be a Parks Day celebration at Bertram Creek July 20. For info on all these events and more, go to the website at regionaldistrict. com/parks A little further afield, the Silver Star Bike Park is now open, with 18 mountain bike trails, a vertical drop of 760 metres and cross country trails. On foot, Roseanne Van Ee does guided hikes at Silver Star where you can enjoy the wildflowers and scenic views, with a little history thrown in for good measure.

Great grandfather tag a definitive sign of getting older T oday’s column may smack of being all over the emotional map, from delightfully hard to believe to perplexingly hard to comprehend—sort of a Hodgpodge microcosm of life. Despite the reality, it’s a definite indication I am no longer a spring chicken that I was blessed with the honour of becoming a great grandfather earlier this week. Last Tuesday, granddaughter Chelsea gave birth to sevenpound, 12-ounce Arya Rae. Teresa and I managed to meet the little bundle of joy Wednesday. Marvelling over the squirming, gurgling, smiling wee Arya, I found it boggling to comprehend it’s been more than 21 years since the day Chelsea entered my world — looking much the same While there is no genetic link, granddaughter Chelsea has meant so much to me in the way of a personal validation for my existence as a mentor and protector. She is, in many ways, my living legacy of lineage and life. On Tuesday, that whole life chain lengthened another link. Congratulations to Chelsea and daddy Connor as a new and marvelous chapter in their life

••• Further congratulations and best wishes to good friends Cindy and Pete Clarke, who tied the knot June 15. Friends and relatives from around the country took part in the couple’s beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony in Oyama, followed by a reception and celebration in Rutland. Apparently the newlyweds have formed a recent attachment to collecting garden gnomes, and received quite a number as gag wedding gifts. Anyone missing any gnomes from their Rutland gardens may want to call them. All the best to two of the best. ••• From relationships destined for long and joyful memories to one that is likely to turn into a disaster quickly, one must seriously contemplate the rational (or lack of) behind the Vancouver Canucks hiring John Tortor-

ella as their new head coach. Many fans who loudly protested the move announced Tuesday say the hiring is only further proof that Vancouver general manager Mike Gillis is the one who should have lost his job last month, not the now former head coach Alain Vigneault. I find the move disappointing and a major blunder that signals it may be time for me to toss away my Canuck fan club card and give up the dream of watching the Stanley Cup in GM Place. John Tortorella is a jerk with a capital J. The only guy currently in the NHL on the same obnoxious level of rudeness and throwback

is Mr. Mouth himself— Don Cherry. Ironically, Tortorella leaves the New York Rangers as a replacement for Vigneault, who was hired last week as Tortorella’s replacement in New York. ••• Just when most British Columbians figured things could not get a whole lot weirder in the world of B.C. politics, things just got weirder. Instead of a one or two horse race it seems a small percentage of the entire eligible voter population in the West Kelowna/Kelowna by-election riding have joined the fray. A total of eight

folks have filed papers to take part in the upcoming by election, which pretty well makes a quagmire of the whole election. I find it mind-boggling and disappointing. While I am a huge supporter of the democratic process, and encourage people to get involved, I also believe that running for political office at any level should involve some serious consideration and logic. I am sure most of the candidates have entered with the genuine desire to make a difference, however, some are likely involved as a lark or some form of odd protest vote.

Recently, I suggested Christy Clark could be defeated on the long shot that a very high-profile independent candidate were to take part. What we now have is a well known reigning premier versus a recognized NDP and Conservative candidate, and five relatively unknown or unsuccessful independent candidates. Some might suggest it’s become a bit of a circus, which most pundits suggest only assists the incumbent—or in this case—Clark. If recent local election polls are any indication Clark seems pretty safe. One poll showed 49.7

per cent of respondents saying they would choose Clark, compared to 39.38 per cent support for NDPer Carole Gordon. Independent candidate Dayleen Van Ryswyk is third with 5.92 per cent of the poll and Sean Upshaw of the B.C. Conservative Party got 2.43 per cent. The other four candidates vying for the seat did not crack the one per cent mark. They are Korry Zepik, Jag Bhandari of BC Vision; John Marks, and Silverado Socrates. For this byelection to change anything, at least one or two candidates will need to step aside before election day on July 10.

Slowing down the gravy train

n 2012, 87 Abbotsford city staff members earned more than $100,000. They formed close to 40 per cent of the 222 city employees who received more than $75,000 in salary last year. To the average taxpayer, those are unsettling figures. On the upside, compared to a huge leap in salary levels from 2010 to 2011, last year’s city hall earning statistics showed a cooling trend. In 2011, 211 staffers made more than $75,000, with 88 of

those earning over $100,000. In 2010, 178 city employees made more than $75,000, of whom only 55 were paid over $100,000. Also reflecting some fiscal reality were the levels of individual salary increases handed out last year. On the heels of huge hikes as high as 15 and 20 per cent for some top managers in 2011, last year’s increases saw little above five per cent, and lower. Now that council and city administration seem to have

found the brake handle on the civic gravy train, it needs to be slowed further. Does this city really need to be paying more than $100,000 annually to 87 staff members, with some of those salaries in the $150,000 to $200,000 range? Given that even the highest paid councillor doesn’t make above $50,000, it appears excessive. The buzz circling around city hall suggests more internal cost-trimming is imminent. If

so, good. Why, for instance, in these challenged economic times, is there not a civic administrative pay freeze instituted, along with some extremely tough negotiations with unions? Is there going to be a mass exodus of civic employees if they don’t get raises higher than the private sector every year? Not if other cities follow suit, and start playing fiscal hardball. While taxpayers are paying for it, they’re not buying it. —Abbotsford News

A few weeks ago, With votes on the I wrote a column sayline in the upcoming Alistair ing she should buck Westside-Kelowna Waters the tradition set by her byelection, the candipredecessors over the dates were out in force last 30 years that has at Westside Daze over the long week- not seen a sitting B.C. premier debate end, shaking hands, kissing babies— a challenger at the riding level in an figuratively—and doing what any election or byelection campaign. self-respecting candidate would do— And last week, I was critical of her begging for support. for appearing to opt for the photo op To Premier Christy Clark’s credit, instead of talking directly to residents she not only went door-knocking her- on the doorstep—something she said

she wanted to do a lot of when she announced she was running here. But over the week she did just that. I can’t take any credit for either of those moves. Clark is a much shrewder politician than I will ever be. But in both cases, it was the right move as it benefits all voters to hear directly from all the candidates. Talking of getting the message out, B.C. Conservative Sean Upshaw hit the street running over the weekend, kicking it off with 10 hours straight of door-knocking. He said he hit 280 doors last Friday alone and the number one issue he’s hearing about is jobs. Meanwhile, NDP candidate Ca-

role Gordon used the man who defeated Clark in Vancouver-Point Grey in last month’s provincial election, David Eby, to bolster her campaign over the weekend. Eby joined Gordon in the Westside Daze parade and during her campaigning later in the day. It was a symbolic message to voters that despite the feeling by some Westside-Kelowna is a “safe” Liberal seat, Clark can be beaten. Jag Bhandari, of the B.C. Vision, and independents Daylene Van Ryswyk, John Marks, Korry Zepik and Silvarado Socretes are also running in the byelection. With eight days to go in the campaign, the quest for votes is really

heating up. But with summer here, the sun shining, kids out of school and many families looking forward to a trip to the beach rather than another jaunt to the ballot box, how many will bother to cast a vote is anyone’s guess. The general election on May 14 could only attract 49 per cent of those eligible to vote in the riding out to the polls. Will a race that includes a B.C. premier seeking a local seat in the legislature and seven opponents trying to deprive her of that—for a second time in less than two months—be any more enticing?

A Gift in Memory Makes a Difference

▼ CLARK DILEMMA

What happens if premier loses byelection?

frequent question these days is what happens if Christy Clark loses the July 10 byelection in Westside-Kelowna? Does she have to step down as premier? Can she pursue another seat? Defeat is unlikely given the traditional Liberal Okanagan base. However, it is a valid discussion as the byelection became necessary after Clark lost her own Vancouver constituency in May’s provincial vote. Given that I’m not an expert on these matters, I tried to find an answer. The first stop was Elections B.C. but I was informed they aren’t involved in what’s considered an internal party matter. I was then directed to the clerk of the B.C. Legislature, but I’m still waiting for a return email. Not sure where to turn, I posed my question to Wolf Depner, a political scientist at the University of B.C.’s Okanagan campus.

“Legally, GUEST Clark could lose COLUMN as many byelections as she would like and she would remain the premier as per the Richard conventions of the Rolke Westminster system,” said Depner. “Conventions are unwritten traditions and customs that lack legal force but carry political penalties. In this case, the convention states that the leader of the largest party is also the premier. “Within this context, it is important to remember that the premier is not a directly elected office. “In the parliamentary system, the party with the largest number of seats gets first crack at forming government, with the party leader serving as the top member of the executive.” In fact, Depner says there is precedent for Clark to remain premier and not be elected as neither prime ministers John Turner or Charles Tupper held seats in Parliament There is also nothing that

stops an individual from legally running in multiple byelections. However, Depner admits that scenario could create some challenges for Clark. “If she were to lose yet another election, a very remote chance, she would take a massive political hit. Some, if not many, inside her party could then get out their knives,” he said. Depner is right. If Clark lost a second opportunity to become an MLA, there would be those within the Liberal ranks smelling blood and envisioning themselves in the premier’s chair. Party solidarity only goes so far as was demonstrated last week when Australia’s prime minister was bounced by her own colleagues. But I suspect the biggest push-back would come from voters themselves. It’s one thing to tolerate a single MLA stepping aside so the premier can try and get in the legislature (as it’s expected the premier should be there), but to keep triggering byelections in the hopes of being successful would wear thin. Elections are costly to hold

Don’t be alarmed over B.C’s debt clock

To the editor: Word is that the Canadian Taxpayers Federation will be rolling their mobile B.C. Debt Clock through Kelowna on July 4. For those not in the know, the B.C. Debt Clock records the growth of provincial debt second by second. The clock’s owners are animated by the idea that we’re all paying too much in taxes, and that all debt is bad debt. In that way, the CTF is a lot like the Tea Party down in the U.S. Conveniently, B.C. Premier Christy Clark will be in town July 4 for the all-candidates meeting, and we can expect her to genuflect to the mobile debt clock as though it were the Popemobile. She attended the launch of the previous provincial debt clock tour, and there’s a smiling photograph of her to prove it. But is genuflection the

right thing to do? Should debt be the thing we behold in awe before we consider anything else? And how bad is our provincial debt, anyway? To answer those questions in reverse, at 17 per cent, B.C.’s debt-to-GDP ratio is the third lowest in the country. Only Alberta and Saskatchewan’s ratios are lower, as we might expect with all the oil and gas money sloshing around. Other provinces’ debtto-GDP ratios range from 26 to 49 per cent. In other words, there’s nothing alarming about B.C.’s debt. The numbers on the debt clock rotate like there’s no tomorrow, but the clock fails to take into account the economic output that’s related to good debt. As for holding debt up as the supreme concern, progressive economists would tell us to relax and ask two questions: What’s the state of the balance

sheet, and what is the debt about? If, for example, debt has to do with buying war machines from a foreign country, the assets shown on the balance sheet (the war machines) are not going to be of much public value, and no Canadian job creation is going to occur. This is a perfect example of bad debt. If, on the other hand, debt arises from investment in education, the investment will result in an educated population and work force that’s sure to have positive social and economic consequences down the road. In the case of debt arising from an investment in infrastructure, the province’s bridges, roads, and communications systems will register as valuable assets on the balance sheet, and job creation, tax stimulus, and economic stimulus will inevitably occur. This is an example of very good debt, indeed. Debt can be a neces-

Highway 33 repaving long overdue

sary thing when the economy is tanking, as it is in B.C. Progressive economists teach us that public spending must occur during a recession, and that contrary to frequent claims, we still haven’t recovered from the recession of 2008. Debt can and should be paid off on sunny days, not when it’s pouring cats and dogs. Four months ago, the B.C. government banked on the economy growing by 1.6 per cent this year. Forced to re-examine the budget, they’ve had to revise economic growth downward to 1.4 per cent. Employment growth, retail sales and housing starts are just not going to materialize as first pre-

dicted. Instead of calling for $130 million in cuts to provincial spending over the next three years, continuing to pretend that a “Debt Free B.C.” is just around the corner and cranking out carefully calibrated alarm over the ridiculous debt clock, the Liberal government needs to get serious about job creation so employed British Columbians can pay income taxes, behave as consumers, animate the economy and take care of their families. It’s the responsible thing to do. Dianne Varga, Kelowna

Joel Young survey and market assessment interview with anyone who would sit still long enough to listen to her vision. During her research, she learned just how dramatically things have changed in the digital world since 1997. She felt at that time that it was somewhat difficult to explain to clients why they may need to build a website for their venture. With Lexabi, Lindal said that premise is now obvious to everyone with the challenges of a new economy and its value elements. Lindal says social media has taken the communications industry in an entirely new direction and she loves it, discovering for herself, to her joyful amazement, that operating a venture is easier than it was 16 years ago. Interesting for me, Lindal’s role model who pushed her to launch her venture was Arlene Dickenson, of Dragon’s Den television fame. Dickenson’s success convinced Lindal that she

could do it, with her past experience in business selling jewelry in college and then starting a cleaning company with her aunt which led her to ultimately start Stripes Design. Lindal said creating Lexabi was much easier because she had already achieved that milestone before and was able to use some of the lessons learned and apply them from the beginning of this new business equation. Lexabi Communications is geared to serving a truly digital age in the Okanagan, while globally Lindal says she and her team are equipped with the knowledge, experience and dedication to facilitate long-term successful relationships with their clients. Lindal said she doesn’t feel for one minute that Lexabi is a big risk for her, that she feels her trade-offs are very good as she is able to pick up her children from school and choose her working hours. Lindal has got it worked out. She has seized her dream and then some. So keep on truckin’ Andrea, we are on the sidelines cheering you on.

ment while employed with at the Capital News. She worked for almost 10 years with this newspaper in a variety of jobs. Over the years, Lindal gained knowledge in website development to the degree that in 1997, she arrived at a crossroads. She decided to create her first venture, Stripes Design, and ran it successfully until deciding it was time to devote her time to being a mother. After her two children were born, Lindal returned to the corporate world in digital marketing and communications until her children were old enough for her to spread her entrepreneurial wings once again. Lexabi Communications was born in January, a stronger more vibrant version of the earlier Stripes Design, inspired by Lindal’s two children, Alexander and Abigale . Lexabi has moved Lindal to a whole new height for her entrepreneurial ventures. She told me that she always worked best for herself, as self-employment seemed to be her preferable mantra, an idea always in the back of her mind as she planned for her re-entry into the entrepreneurial world.

Swap your food favourites for some healthy summer samples

ummer celebrations mean letting go of complete control of what you’re eating with friends and family, in exchange for some fun and fellowship. So don’t go hungry at the next BBQ, instead switch to healthier options. Here are some swaps, courtesy of Caloriecount. com, to help keep your caloric intake at a summer get-together under

FITNESS FOR SENIORS

Bobbi Kittle control. Usually served in colorful saucers alongside crunchy treats like apples, chips, carrots, red bell peppers, or celery, dips

add a tasty flare to snacks but may be a big question mark in your daily calorie log. You don’t have to sacrifice flavor for a healthier dip. The key to dips with fewer calories is swapping ingredients. Instead of oil and mayo-based dips, go for those that use fat-free Greek yogurt. Many dips have high fructose corn syrup or sugar in them, try and find

those with this ingredient as far down on the list as possible, or not at all. For dips for fruit, like caramel, loosen it with skim milk so it’s not as thick. The same can be done for cheese. For guacamole, add water and more salsa. Chicken is a leaner protein, but you can save some calories and fat by choosing boneless, skinless chicken breasts over dark meat with the skin still on. Add grilled vegetables like bell pepper and tomato with a little romaine lettuce and you’ve got some filling-fiber with that protein to keep you satisfied. The trick to saving calories with chicken chunks is keeping the portion to the size of a deck of cards, or about 3 oz. Instead of grabbing chips, crash the veggie tray and pair it with fresh fruit or salsa. If you go for veggies and fruit, you get more bang for your ca-

loric buck, specifically a large peach, apple, pear and a few strawberries for good measure. If homemade potato salad is your weakness, go for a few spoonfuls, but round out your plate with greens and other sides, if available. Veggies like jicama, celery, or broccoli, as well as nuts like slivered almonds are a great crunchy addition. A little grilled corn, a drizzle of barbecue sauce, and cheese finish off a great BBQ salad. Instead of beef burgers go for chicken burgers. If you’re into pork, go for boneless pork loin instead of spare ribs . Another way to cut down on the fat and calories in staple BBQ meats is making meat and veggie kabobs instead of serving full cuts of meat to keep portions in check. Healthy eating should be a lifestyle, not a diet. I recommend reading Tosca Reno’s The Eat Clean Diet. I follow a clean eat-

ing diet along with daily exercise; it keeps my weight under control and gives me all day energy! I eat five to six small meals throughout the day to keep my blood sugar levels stable and prevent me from getting cranky. Smaller meals for energy should include a balance of complex carbohydrates, lean protein, and healthy fats. For each meal below, choose one protein and one complex carbohydrate. 1 cup no fat Greek yogurt Frozen blueberries strawberries peaches baked pears chopped apple cucumber slices honey rolled oats or muesli cashews in a fruit smoothie 2 TB nut butter ¼ cup low-sodium hummus Mashed no-salt-added beans or homemade bean dip 2 scrambled egg whites Whole-wheat

KSS grad to play for Queen’s

Four Rockets selected

Graduating Kelowna Secondary School volleyball player Gabrielle Down had a lot of choice about where to continue her volleyball career as she gets set to move onto the collegiate game. The 6-foot volleyball setter whittled down her options from a number of Canadian and U.S. post secondary schools and has accepted an offer from the Queen’s University Golden Gaels women’s varsity team to begin play this fall on an academic/athletic scholarship. “We are excited to have Gabrielle join us at Queen’s as we believe that she has the capability to have a tremendous impact on our program both on the court and off,” said Joely Christian, head coach of the Queen’s Golden Gaels. “My reason for pursuing and recruiting Gabrielle goes beyond the obvious benefits of her height and physical abilities as a setter. “She is a strong leader and brings with her an incredible work ethic, a great team spirit and a host of intangibles that aren’t often openly on display.” Down was caught in a bit of a numbers game when it came to the possibility of staying in Kelowna and continuing her career at UBC Okanagan. The Heat women’s volleyball team already has two established setters so despite her connection with Heat coach Steven Manuel, Down will head east to play CIS volleyball. “We are excited for Gabby’s opportunities at Queen’s University but we are also sad to see her go,” said Manuel, who

Down was also being courted by U.S. schools in Montana, Washington, Texas and on the East Coast. But ultimately she decided that a Canadian university degree was most important coupled with the opportunity to further her volleyball career with the aim of making the Canadian National Team during her university career. During her Grade 11 season, Down suffered a serious knee injury that ended her volleyball season. She was right back at it and fully recovered the next year, something that showed a lot of character,

according to Queen’s volleyball coach. “Her ability to recover from her knee injury a couple of seasons ago showed the type of character that I look for in members of the Queen’s volleyball team,” said Christian. “When I combine that with her provincial team experience and the training reps she has pursued with former national team setter Carla Bradstock it was very clear cut for me that I wanted her to be a part of our team.” Like many athletes, Down played and enjoyed a variety of sports including basketball, soccer and swimming before she discovered her passion for volleyball in Grade 9 when she started playing competitive volleyball for the first time. She was selected Grade 9 Female Athlete of the Year in high school kicking off an excellent high school career. This summer she will continue her pursuit of athletics as she has been selected to play for Team B.C. at the U-18 National Team Challenge Cup Tournament that will be hosted at the University of Manitoba in Mid-July before heading to Queen’s in mid-August. In school, Down will work towards earning a Bachelor of Science and knows she owes many thanks to the people that have helped her along the way. “This would not have been possible without the support of my coaches, high school teachers and family who have assisted me over these past four years in realizing my dream to play post secondary volleyball,” she said.

Four members of the Kelowna Rockets were drafted by NHL teams at the 2013 NHL Entry Draft in Newark, New Jersey on Sunday. Defenceman Madison Bowey and Mitchell Wheaton as well as forwards Tyrell Goulbourne and Myles Bell were all selected in the annual event. Bowey was the highest rated Rockets player to be selected as the skilled defenceman was taken in the second round of the draft (53rd overall) by the Washington Capitals. “Such a surreal feeling,” Bowey said via Twitter after the draft. “So proud to be joining such a great organization. Can’t wait to get started with the team.” After Bowey’s selection, it wasn’t long until another Rockets player would be selected, however it wasn’t one anyone was expecting. The Philadephia Flyers selected hard-nosed Rockets winger Goulbourne in the third round with the 72nd overall pick. Goulbourne wasn’t previously listed by NHL Central Scouting. “This is just going to make me work even harder,” said Goulbourne. “Not saying I wasn’t before but after you get drafted you really start to believe and you have another thing to work for. “My goal is to make the team better in Kelowna for the next couple years and then hopefully move on in Philadelphia’s organization.”

Goulbourne said it was an amazing day to see three other members of the Rockets drafted. “It was crazy, those guys are amazing players: Bowey, Wheaton and Bell,” he said. “Just to be drafted in the same draft year as them is pretty special to me. “I’m sure those guys have the same feeling it was just really special to me to be drafted with this draft class.”

Farmers need to diversify to stay viable Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

For nearly 100 years, Sukhpal Bal’s family has been working the land in Kelowna, from the time his great-grandfather Bhaghu Singh came here from India because of a drought in the village where he lived. In time, he began purchasing land to farm, including the 100acre piece the family owns today on Highway 33 at the end of Springfield Road. His son, Jaginder Basran ran cattle on the property. He was nicknamed Gindi and was known for wearing a cowboy hat around town. When he passed away, Sukhpal says his grandmother wanted the youngsters to carry on farming the land. “Land is precious in India and the family’s vision is for it to be passed on in the family,” he explains. However, it’s also important that the youngsters get an education, so today, armed with degrees, the four youngsters of Barbara (Basran) and Chanchal Bal still have their hands in the soil, farming the land of their forefathers. Sukhpal has a BA in international relations and a business degree, while his brother Mandeep has just completed medical school; sister Davinder is a teacher and Dilraj is completing dentistry at UBC. In order to support all the families—and the farm— they’ve expanded on the orchards that have been growing fruit on that land for decades, and they’ve invested heavily in creation of a new fruit stand and market, Hillcrest Farm Market, along with a cafe, which just opened. The fruit stand adjacent will open in mid-July when there is enough produce ready from the farm it’s on to sell their own produce in the market, he says. The family began replanting the old apple orchards to new varieties of cherries in 1998 and in 2005 the decision was made to build a pack-

inghouse on-site. It has been enlarged several times since and they’re now looking at investing in a new optical sizer, which will increase the level of technology in their packing facility. They grow six varieties of cherries which mature at different points in the season, so will have fresh fruit available through much of the summer in the market, and they have planted four acres to vegetables to sell there as well. Last year, members of the family prepared salsas and canned goods which will be for sale at the

market as well, and the plan is to display some local arts and crafts. Old barn boards from his grandfather’s barn have been used in the decor, along with many of the old farm implements such as milk tins and fruit boxes that were found around his grandfather’s farmhouse. Pastries using the fresh fruits grown in the orchard on which the market sits will be offered for sale in the cafe. Diversifying further, a former depression in the orchard which was not good soil for growing has been re-shaped to provide a live stage with a panoramic view out over Kelowna to Okanagan Lake. Grass has been planted and landscaping installed as an on-orchard location for weddings or other events. In fact, his sister Jaswinder Bal’s wedding was held there on the long weekend. Going the agri-tourism route to diversify a farming operation is not for every farmer, but Bal notes that even 50-acre apple orchards are not economically viable in the current global markets. “If we can diversify we can make an economic success of our farm. We need to be innovative. Then we can use the income to grow better fruit; to farm better,” he comments. Today, people want to know where their food comes from, he notes, so they would also like to provide tours for school groups of the farm operation. “This investment allows us to continue the family tradition of farming,” he adds. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

CAPITAL NEWS

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen Power of food If you’re overweight and unhealthy, you should be able to easily identify with Adam Hart’s position some years ago, before he discovered the power of food. Today, he lives in Squamish, where he moved to pursue a passion for mountaineering and founded his company, the Power of Food, in 2003. Now Whitecap Books has published his book by the same name, which includes the story of his journey from poor health to excellent health and fitness, along with an explanation of his 11 action steps, and recipes for what he calls his six power foods: nuts, seeds, grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables. Hart is an inspirational speaker on the benefits of eating a healthier diet without giving up the foods you love. However, be aware that his recipes include many ingredients you won’t find in the average pantry, including hemp, chia and flax seeds, amaranth, nut and seed milks, goji berries, buckwheat, cacao nibs and oat groats, so you may have to go to the store before cooking. A dehydrator and blender are essential tools in his kitchen too. Unfortunately, many of his favourite ingredients are not locallygrown, including exotic fruits, nuts and seeds, so you’ll have to venture further afield that I normally recommend. However, I agree with him about the importance of some of the nutrient-dense foods he talks about in replacing the overly-processed diet of many of the populace. Eating ‘living’ foods like fruits and vegetables and nuts and seeds, whole grains and legumes is key to good health. There’s a tendency for pre-packaged, processed food and take-away to make up far too much of the diet of too many families. It’s going to kill us. His book, the Power of Food, is just out and available at bookstores.

Adam's Pistachio Mango Salsa I’ve been put off pistachios since I discovered a wriggling worm in one I was just about to pop into my mouth, but Adam Hart may have convinced me not to be so hasty at dismissing them from my diet. He suggests adding any number of seeds or nuts to this mix to create a salsa for every occasion. This salsa is not only a power food, it’s also delicious on many levels. A handful of fresh, B.C., handpeeled shrimp is fabulous in this as well. 1 mango 1 avocado 2 medium tomatoes 1/2 red onion

salt

JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS

Marathon Runner's Kale Salad

2 cloves garlic 1/2 c. (125 ml) cilantro 1/2 c. (125 ml) pistachios 1 tbsp. (15 ml) lemon juice 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) Himalayan crystal

Into a medium-sized serving bowl, peel, pit and dice the mango and avocado and dice the tomatoes and onion (I used a Vidalia onion instead of the red onion). Mince the garlic and finely chop the fresh cilantro. Squeeze the lemon juice over it all. Chop the nuts or leave some whole. Combine gently, being careful not to mash up the avocado too much, and top with the salt. Makes 4 cups.

I know many of my readers run marathons so I thought this would be an important recipe to include, plus it looks yummy, and most of the ingredients can be grown locally, unlike avocados and mangos. 1/4 c. (60 ml) dried cranberries 1 bunch of kale juice of 1 lemon 1/2 pear 1/2 apple 1/2 red pepper 1 carrot 2 tbsp. sesame seeds Soak the dried cranberries in a half cup of water for 30 minutes. Chop the kale, pear, apple, red pepper and carrot. Meanwhile put the chopped kale and lemon juice into a large mixing bowl. Using your hands, massage the kale and lemon juice together. The acid from the lemon juice will help to break down the kale and make it easier to digest. After the cranberries have finished soaking, discard the water and add the soaked cranberries to the

kale. Next, add all the remaining ingredients except the sesame seeds and gently mix together. Add a little Classic Ginger Dressing and serve garnished with the sesame seeds. Serves 2. This looks like a delicious dressing, but I would tend to add a bit more ginger. 3/4 c. (185 ml) extra virgin olive oil 2 tbsp. (30 ml) toasted sesame oil juice of 1 lime 2 tsp. (10 ml) soy sauce 3 tbsp. (45 ml) maple syrup 1 tsp. (5 ml) grated ginger Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until wellmixed. Store leftover dressing in an airtight glass jar in the refrigerator for up to four days. Makes 1 cup.

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
