KELOWNA WINERY St. Hubertus mixed a little sipping and a little stretching recently with a Pilates class in the vineyard to raise money for charity.

THE OKANAGAN ATHLETICS did what they had to on the weekend to get into the B.C. Premier Baseball League playoffs. Now they have to sit and wait to see if it was enough.

COLUMNIST Bobbi Kittle says it is important seniors maintain a fitness regime in their golden years, especially to strengthen their core muscles.

Amnesty nets cops weapons

Jennifer Smith

STAFF REPORTER

A Sten gun is a semi-automatic, nine-millimetre sub-machine gun produced during the Second World War and capable of firing 600 to 700 rounds per minute. Manufactured in Britain and Belgium— though there was a Canadian weapons factory that produced one variation as well—it’s one of the weapons RCMP see a lot of during the month of June when residents of Kelowna are encouraged to call the RCMP to have unwanted weapons retrieved, no matter how obscure, with a total amnesty. “I know there’s still a lot of them out there,” said RCMP spokesman Const. Steve Holmes when asked if the well had started to run dry as yet, whether residents have stopped handing over guns as often. Now several years

into this practice, Holmes says the RCMP still receive a good deal of calls for everything from muskets made in the 1800s to brand new weapons owners would prefer not to keep around the house. In Kelowna, they managed to pick up 41 long guns, two air guns and 14 hand guns this time around. By and large, all of the weapons are destroyed; although, some of the more rare antiques will be sent on to the lab and may be saved for historical reference. Holmes says the RCMP will pick up a weapon at any time, yearround, and encourage residents who may still wish to rid themselves of an unwanted gun, bow or knife to contact police and have it retrieved. The police do not want residents walking into the detachment with weapons, particularly loaded ones, as it may be dangerous for everyone involved.

INVESTIGATORS were still on scene Monday at the Mill Creek site where a man’s body was found Sunday. Although there was no word whether it was a murder, police are calling the death “suspicious.”

Police probing latest ‘suspicious’ death Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

For the second time in as many months, the Kelowna RCMP are remaining tight-lipped about a suspicious death—potentially Kelowna’s second murder of the year. Sunday afternoon, RCMP officers were called to a wooded area along Mill Creek, in the

area of Harvey and Sutherland Avenues, for what appeared to be a body found in the small waterway. As of Monday morning, that was all the police would confirm. “I would really just be speculating,” said Const. Steve Holmes, when asked about the disturbing discovery during the semi-regular police press conference called to brief

media, Monday morning. Bystanders in the area Sunday afternoon indicated the body was that of a man who was likely a homeless person. It was found by another individual out for a walk. Some said the man had gone into the wooded creek area with two other homeless people and never came out, but

it has not been confirmed whether the deceased was alone at the time of his death. The first murder in the city of the year took place in June on the opposite end of town. A 27-year-old mother of two daughters was found dead in her Glenmore home shortly after midnight. Police have released

a sketch of an individual seen in the area, who is listed as someone investigators want to speak with, but otherwise, little information has come forth about her death, including the cause. It took four days for RCMP to confirm that case was a murder. Meanwhile, Saturday’s Mill Creek death is still simply being listed as suspicious.

Residents escape Rutland apartment fire Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Kim Blaschuk was wearing a housecoat as she stood in the Bristol Apartments parking lot on Franklyn Road Saturday morning. At about 7:40 a.m., her apartment building fire alarm went off. She grabbed her kids, a few belongings and got out. According to Kelowna Fire Department platoon captain Tim Light, a 911 call came in around that time indicating flames could be seen on the deck of apartment 301 at the northwest corner of the building. “Upon our arrival the deck was fully involved and (the fire) had moved to the apartment above,” said Light. Thirty-five firefighters responded to the scene Saturday morning, along with several RCMP officers and paramedics. Light said everyone got out of the building; however, two residents were taken to hospital. “I’m unaware of the injuries they sustained. It could be smoke inhalation; it was fairly smoky when we got here.”

After an initial investigation, it is still unclear as to what started the blaze. “We’re going to have an RCMP investigator and one of our investigators go through, talk to the people in the suite and just see exactly what happened.” Light noted the residents are smokers. “There’s always that possibility, but as of right now, we’re not ruling anything out.” Along with the apartments severely damaged by the fire, other apartments in the building were also damaged by smoke. Blaschuk, who moved into the building one month ago, said her ground floor apartment suffered smoke and water damage. She does not have tenant’s insurance. Light said several residents were bused to Salvation Army and will be assisted by Emergency Social Services. Residents will not be allowed to return to the building until investigators have gone through the scene. On Monday, city officials said residents displaced by the fire may be

Kelowna is about to add a covered soccer field to Mission Recreation Park, where the H20 Aquatic Centre, outdoor playing fields and the Capital News Centre sit. On Monday, city council approved a proposal to have the municipality donate a lease on the land so Kelowna United Football Club can erect an $813,000 dome-covered soccer pitch that will be covered for the six months over the winter, open for summers, and available to a wide range of sports enthusiasts needing field time. “Soccer rules. I think it’s great,” said Coun. Robert Hobson as the plan was presented Monday afternoon. The proposal originally came before council in June, after the club was approached by an undisclosed benefactor willing to front enough money to have the pitch built to the club’s specific needs for

this winter. Under the arrangement, Kelowna United will design, build and operate the facility with a 15-year lease and option for the first five-year contract renewal when the lease expires. The field will feature the latest in artificial turf and measure 45 metresby-73 metres, though a full-sized field would be 69 metres-by-99 metres. Soccer is the most popular kids sport in the area with 5,000 children and youths enrolled in the Central Okanagan. Field time, for both youths and adults, is at a premium. Kelowna United, the elite division of the Central Okanagan Youth Soccer Association, will receive priority access to the field in exchange for bringing the new facility to fruition. The arrangement is being billed as an example of how a public-private partnership can be both effective and efficient at the municipal level. Twitter: @jaswrites

Paving Pandosy to put in a couple of parking lots Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Two new parking lots slated for the South Pandosy area got the green light from city council Monday, although councillors were not thrilled with the poor planning that forced each manoeuvre. The lots in question will be added to accommodate retail customers at the new Sopa Square development and patients heading into the new Kelowna General Hospital emergency ward. In both cases, cars from the facilities were originally supposed to have been accounted for within the footprint of the buildings erected and, in the case of the hospital lot, that failure will mean a loss of heritage conservation space. “This is a very difficult one for me because 30 years ago I did the planning, which led to the heritage conservation T:11.786”

area…We always thought of Royal Avenue area as sort of a ring fence,” said Coun. Robert Hobson, a staunch advocate for heritage conservation within the city. The SOPA Square lot will be built on a land at 459 Groves Ave. and 437 and 442 Newsom Ave., while the new Emergency Room parking abuts the hospital, though across the street, on Royal Avenue. Hobson said he has spent a lot of time at the KGH emergency room over the last year and is very aware the lack of parking is distressing for those using the hospital. Despite admonishing Interior Health for not planning its campus buildout better in order to accommodate patient parking with greater ease, he endorsed the parking lot, as did every other councillor. Mayor Walter Gray, for his part, suggested the heritage zone was still an

arbitrary line drawn on a map, at the end of the day, and pointed out the hospital’s expansion, and the city’s expansion, were completely unforeseeable when the line was drawn. The developers of Sopa Square, meanwhile, got off the hook with far less discussion. Councillors noted they did not like the fact the development would not include enough underground parking to serve its customers, as promised, but praised the plan for providing very reasonable access to the shops. “I like the fact staff have worked with this developer on this driveway that’s almost a common area for pedestrians as well, and delivery dropoff,” said Coun. André Blanleil. Both lots will have covenants placed on the property to bar further development and ensure the space remains for parking. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com.

WEST KELOWNA

Westbank Farmers’ Market enjoys its fourth season Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

At the Westbank Farmers’ Market Saturday, 26 vendors offered various foods and crafts to the public. In its fourth year, the market has experienced modest growth since 2010, when it started with about 15 vendors. “We seem to be getting more customers each week,” said Betty Hersey, coordinator of the Westbank Farmers’ Market vendors. “It’s a very friendly market.” Hersey said it was her idea to begin the market four years ago. “We wanted to get people into downtown Westbank after all the strip malls evolved out on the highway.” The Historic Westbank Association—which Hersey belongs to—partners with the Westbank Lions Club to host the market in the parking lot of Westbank Lions Com-

munity Centre (2466 Main Street). Each weekend the market features free live entertainment. On Saturday, Aug. 17, the market will host the Gala Westbank 110th birthday party. “It’s going to be an allday affair. The market will run from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. that day. “It will be a kids day, so we’ll have face painting, a bouncy castle, a clown, a fish pond and all sorts of other things for the kids.” Later on the gala will feature a dinner and dance. For more information about the Aug. 17 celebration or the weekly farmers’ market, visit westbankfarmersmarket.com.

Money awarded to promote OK apple Landfill cherry tipping fee W Apparently money does grow on trees— when it comes to apples that is. A relatively new apple, grown in the Okanagan and gaining popularity cross B.C. and around the world, is about to be introduced to even more consumers here at home. The New Tree Fruit Varieties Development Council, a group that represents B.C. Ambrosia apple growers, is getting $50,000 in Buy Local program funding to help promote and increase sales of Ambrosia apples in B.C. The council will use the money to educate consumers who are interested in locally grown foods about the benefits of Ambrosia apples and the ideal ways to eat and serve

them. “The Ambrosia apple has a great story as it was discovered right here in our province and is fast-becoming a made in B.C. success story, said Agriculture Minister Pat Pimm. “This funding will help the council bring the Ambrosia story to even more British Columbians.” The council will be offering samples and recipe ideas at farmers markets this fall and wants to update its web and social media presence and a plan to introduce British Columbians to the Ambrosia apple farmers who grow this unique variety in the Okanagan. “We are proud to be leaders in growing nutritious fruit for families right here in B.C. and $50,000 will go a long

way to promoting Kelowna-area fruit producers and supporting the local economy,” said former agriculture minister Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick. The Buy Local program offers successful applicants matching funds up to $100,000 to launch or expand local food marketing campaigns. Building the local market for B.C. foods is a key commitment of the provincial government’s agrifoods strategy, a component of the BC Jobs Plan, to lead the agrifoods sector into what it says will be a $14-billion a year industry by 2017. The Buy Local program is administered by the Investment Agriculture Foundation of B.C. “The Buy Local program is an excellent

opportunity to promote Okanagan-grown Ambrosia apples throughout B.C. and support our local fruit producers,” said Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson. The Okanagan is home to most of B.C.’s tree-fruit orchards, which generated combined annual revenues of $75 million in 2011. Apples and sweet cherries are B.C.’s two largest tree-fruit crops. The Ambrosia apple is described as a bi-coloured medium to large apple. It has cream-coloured flesh and the fruit is sweet, low acid, crisp, juicy and aromatic. The Ambrosia was first introduced to the public at the annual Apple Festival in Vancouver. It came from a chance seedling at an orchard in the Similkameen Valley and was named Ambrosia for its sweet taste.

Kelowna city council has authorized a highly-subsidized tipping fee for cherry growers to dispose of wasted fruit owing to the threat of a deadly pest. Monday afternoon, the council unanimously decided to offer cherry growers a churned-composting option at the landfill in light of requests from farmers suffering from a shortage of available land to bury the excess. The service will cost farmers $16.57 per tonne and should stem the threat of the spotted wing drosophila fly spreading into local fruit crops, attracted by rotting fruit.

Woman celebrates birthday by giving Barry Gerding EDITOR

Wendy Porteous woke up in the middle of the night on Jan. 15, 2012, with a revelation on how to mark her upcoming 60th birthday. While that birthday wasn’t coming until July 9, 2013, her idea of celebrating that milestone would take months to hatch. Creating a fundraising initiative which she called the Power Of Three, 60 X 60 X 60, Porteous came up with the idea to send $60 to 60 of her friends, with at least two notable exceptions, asking them to donate the money to a cause of their choosing and write her back saying how or where the money was donated. While her birthday has come and gone now and she’s till waiting to hear from 19 people who re-

ceived the letters, so far her efforts have resulted in $7,340 being donated to worthy causes. Equally satisfying for Porteous is hearing how her friends and their families engaged in serious discussion about how the money could be best put to use, and how some families used the $60 to host events to raise even more money. One Kelowna couple took Porteous up on her suggestion, and hosted two vegan fundraising dinners at their home that generated $1,770. “I didn’t think people would think much about it, so I was shocked to learn how it generated discussion…one friend brought up what I had done to the people she worked with, and in the spur of the moment they in turn said, ‘We can do that too,” and gave $60 to a charitable cause,” Porte-

ous said. “It’s all been very exciting. I still have to hear from 19 people yet so I run to the post office every day as I am so overwhelmed by the support for this idea.” Porteous and her husband of 39 years, Jim Scorgie, have traveled extensively around the world where her husband worked as an education administrator in international schools in countries such as Vietnam, Germany, China and Syria. Porteous herself is a retired school teacher, having spent most of her 35-year career as a high school counsellor, a role she continued to play at the various schools abroad. Porteous said their travels revealed to them how what seems like a little bit of money, such as $60, can go a long way in

poor Third World countries. Porteous herself, with the money collected from the Atkinson dinner parties, along with her own efforts from a garage sale and the sale of her yoga bag and tote set products she sells, will be able to donate $4,000 to their charity of choice, the VinaCapital Foundation Heartbeat Vietnam. That donation, she says, will pay for the foundation to provide needed heart surgeries for four Vietnamese youngsters. As for the notable exceptions on her birthday donation list, they were Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres. Oprah replied to Porteous by sending her money back, saying she doesn’t accept unsolicited donations. As for Ellen, Porteous said she is still waiting for a reply. After sending the letter, Porteous has

Local municipalities sharing $1m

Local MLAs Norm Letnick and Steve Thomson announced today that the B.C. government is giving municipalities in the Kelowna area $1,003,800 in funds it has raised from local traffic fines. The Strategic Community Investment Fund restructured the Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing program and Small Community and Regional District Grants four years ago. Since 2009, the fund has returned over $600 million in funding to B.C. communities and enabled them to invest money in projects that are identified at the local level as priorities. The fund was implemented by the province to help provide local governments with greater financial stability in economically uncertain times. Communities receiving funding include: Kelowna—$704,598 Lake Country—$202,259 West Kelowna—$40,153 Central Okanagan Regional District— $56,790 The traffic fine revenue sharing program directly assists eligible municipalities that pay police

enforcement costs. The grants come from ticket fines and court-imposed

fines on violation tickets, and the amount of money a municipality receives is

based on its contribution to total municipal policing costs.

Disability tax credit offers additional benefits to seniors

O

T

he disability tax credit is a non-refundable tax credit used to reduce income tax payable on your return. It functions much like the basic tax credit in that it will reduce the income tax payable on your return to zero, but if there is any excess, it will not be refunded to you. However, you can transfer the excess to your spouse, common-law partner or another supporting person. This tax credit should not be confused with the disability supplement that is available from the Canada Pension Plan. Normally if you qualified for the Canada Pension supplement, then you should also qualify for this tax credit. How do you know if you qualify for the credit? In order to apply for

BEHIND THE COUNTER

Gabriele Banka the credit, you need to have some sort of impairment in physical or mental functions that is severe and prolonged which means that it is expected to last for at least 12 continuous months. The Canada Revenue Agency defines two criteria. One is “markedly restricted,” which is defined as when you are unable (or if it takes you an incredible amount of time) to perform one or more of the basic activities of daily living such as speaking, hearing (even with a hearing aid),

walking, feeding, dressing, mental functions necessary for daily life, elimination, or are blind even with corrective procedures. The second criteria is “significantly restricted” which means that although you can still perform daily living functions, you are still substantially restricted. Another criteria, if it applies, is whether or not you receive life-sustaining therapy. Life-sustaining therapy must meet two conditions. The first is that you require it to support life even if it alleviates the symptoms. Some examples are chest physiotherapy for breathing or kidney dialysis. The second condition is that you must dedicate time for this therapy that must be at least 3 times a

week for an average of 14 hours a week which does not include recuperation or travel time. This time must be outside of your regular activity. After 2005, the definition was changed to include a regular dosage of medication for a child that would need to be adjusted on a daily basis whereby the activities related to determining the dosage are considered to be part of the therapy. Examples would be monitoring blood glucose levels, preparing and administering the insulin, calibrating the necessary equipment and maintaining a log book. If the child is unable to perform the therapy because of his or her age, the time spent by primary caregivers performing or supervising the activ-

What is not included are implanted devices such as a pacemaker, or a special diet and exercise program or carbohydrate calculation. In order to qualify, you need to be ‘markedly restricted’ in one of the items listed as the basic activities of daily living, or you need to be ‘significantly restricted’ in two or more of the items listed as the basic activities of daily living. The process is to obtain a copy of form T2201 from the Canada Revenue Agency or from your accountant. This form is nine pages long. You need to fill out the first page and then take the form to your doctor who will fill out the relevant sections and

The Canada Revenue Agency will review the form and within three weeks to three months, will send out a letter that will disclose the results of the review and if you qualified for the credit, how many years and which years you may deduct the credit for. At this point, you can bring the letter into your accountant who will perform the necessary adjustments to any past tax returns filed, if applicable.

NEWS ▼ ENTREPRENEURS

Overcoming adversity

I

n the past, I have presented some element of repetition in my columns to reinforce factors pertinent to the entrepreneurial spirit. The factors have included entrepreneurs are not born but made or created through circumstance, entrepreneurship often occurs when a person determines they are ready or when they discover an idea that offers entrepreneurial potential and often they are encouraged family and friends. I have been made aware that the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, and a few U.S. related business organizations, have completed studies that show entrepreneurs flourish in tough economic times. It is this trumpet call that has prompted me to collect and share some thoughts with you this week. Adversity is undoubtedly another means to discover your capability when you embrace the notion that entrepreneurs seek solutions to problems in the world around them. Adversity introduces the real you and tends to bring out the best in us. Adversity, it has been written many times, also serves as a barometer to measure the greatness in an individual . The true potential in each of us surfaces at times of adversity, particularly if we don’t give up. Problems are the price of progress and the obstacles of life, indeed our entrepreneurial life when seeking entrepreneurial success, are intended to make us better, not bitter. Adversity does have its simplistic advantages. One such advantage is it helps us to unleash our potential within. Will adversity come on the way toward the fulfillment of your entrepreneurial destiny? I say yes. We cannot avoid some form of adversity in our daily life, let alone the creation of our beginnings of the entrepreneurial dream. Adversity is part of life. The adversity itself is really not the problem, but how we deal with it what matters. That can make or break an entrepreneurial venture - e.g. poor business planning, poorly thought out financial requirements, inadequate analysis of the perceived opportunity and

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young need to the marketplace to highlight a few key benchmarks. But, perhaps, the greatest gift you can offer yourself is to push yourself into a temporary crisis as above listed that requires you to “try your wings, so to speak.” Those who know me well know I love the illustration using the eagle. An eagle is that special creature that can look at the sun and fly towards it without blinking an eye. The best of an eagle is demonstrated in adverse situations. The mother eagle, as her young eaglets begin their growth, commences to destroy their nest, making it very uncomfortable to the tiny birds. It is done for purpose as when the nest is totally destroyed, the tiny eaglets are forced to fly. One way, you will discover your purpose and discover your entrepreneurial wings is through adversity. You and I are designed to conquer our environment, solve problems and achieve personal goals. We will find no real satisfaction in our daily life nor our entrepreneurial dream life without obstacles to conquer and goals to achieve. I draw for you a quote from a management text in my library that goes like this “He who knows no hardship will know no power of endurance; he who faces no calamity will need no courage; mysterious though it is, the characteristics in human nature which we all love best grow in a soil with a strong mixture of troubles.” George Bernard Shaw, the Irish dramatist said, “People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get “it” in this are the ones who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, they make them.” Beautiful words I feel translate to “let every stumbling block we encounter become a stepping stone.” Adversity is an oppor-

tunity to bring out the best in you. Let this be your number one entrepreneurial rule— can you stick it out when the going gets tough? When conventional business, politics, war …or entrepreneurial pursuit, we hear the same message over and over? Don’t give up the ship. Remember, adversity is different for each of us. For some, it means not meeting the entrepreneurial goals we have set out. For others, running out of money and not being able to make the new venture launch occur. So to conclude, here is a final thought. When faced with adversity within the framework of your entrepreneurial dream, your first step might be to summon forth the courage and inspiration that came from your original vision. You came to this place for personal change and challenge because of something you wanted to achieve in your life. It was more than money and fame. You embraced your perception of the entrepreneurial dream out of a true passion, hence, before you overcome your adversities, reach inside your heart and remember what got you going in the beginning. I’m certain you will discover more about yourself than you could have possibly imagined. Joel Young is an entrepreneurship leadership coach, educator and consultant and Founder of the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society.

▼ B.C. WINE INSTITUTE

MPs get award for their wine work The BC Wine Institute has introduced a new award to recognize individuals for their outstanding achievements and contributions to the B.C. wine industry. And this year it has gone to area MPs Ron Cannan and Dan Albas for their combined work in the passing of a federal bill to deregulate direct-to-consumer wine shipments across provincial boarders in Canada. The BCWI Industry Recognition Award, was presented at the institutes’s annual last week in Osoyoos, In June 2012, the minister of national revenue, announced that Albas’

private member’s bill, C-311, had received royal assent. The amendment to the Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act (IILA), removed the federal restrictions prohibiting individuals from moving wine from one province to another when purchased for personal use. “The Industry Recognition Award allows us to acknowledge those who celebrate the B.C. wine industry and thank them for their support of BC VQA wines,” said institute executive director Miles Prodan. “We felt it very fitting that MPs Cannan and Albas received the award this year for

their tireless work on Bill C-311. Currently, however, only B.C. and Mani-

toba are allowing direct-to-consumer shipments from other Canadian wine regions.

o, to no one’s surprise, Premier Christy Clark is now also Westside-Kelowna MLA Christy Clark. While she “hit the ground running”—to borrow a phrase from one of the people who helped get her elected here, fellow Liberal MLA Steve Thomson of Kelowna-Mission—Clark will have to do a lot more than dole out what amounts to small change for a project the size of Westside Road if she is to endear herself to her new constituents.

Based on the promises she made during the campaign, that’s exactly what she intends to do. And she’s lucky. One of the biggest promises she made will not have to be delivered for years, possibly a decade. Clark says it’s time to start planning for a second crossing of Okanagan Lake and that’s music to the ears of both the mayor of Kelowna and his counterpart in West Kelowna. But while a route to a new crossing point is obvious on the

Kelowna side, that’s not the case on the Westside. Kelowna wants Highway 33 extended to meet up with what one day it plans to be an extension of the existing Clement Avenue bypass through the North End. That, in turn, would link to the new bridge. But that’s only half the problem solved. Where does it make landfall on the Westside? It’ clear the Westbank First Nation is going to be a part of the picture if Kelowna’s desired route is used and that will mean

negotiations that could result in future land swaps. No matter where the second bridge goes, it’s going to be a costly project. For a woman determined to wrestle B.C.’s debt to the ground, the thought of big bucks for a road route and new bridge here can’t be that appealing despite her byelection promise to start talking. But her promise was a winwin for her. It won her praise, kept local mayors happy and the cheque won’t have to be written for years.

‘Winner takes all’ doesn’t encourage a high voter turnout To the editor: Using the results in the Capital News of the byelection, and adding the 5,778 people who voted in the advance poll, the total number of voters in the important Westside-Kelowna byelection was 22,789. The result means that 50.6 per cent or less voted on July10. I met many of them when I was working as a volunteer on election day helping to“pull the vote” on election day. It is often done either by phone or on the doorstep in many polls by parties’ leading volunteers. The non-voters I met indicated they didn’t know who to vote for or they weren’t interested. Some

older ones indicated they had never voted and don’t intend to start to vote now—they are totally disinterested in the concept of civic duty or their democratic responsibility. Many were just not interested in the election, or that it had relevance for them. The days of 70 per cent voter turnouts that I recall in long ago elections, either federal or provincial, have receded into history. We now have a consistent provincial society of low voter turnouts of two cultures. One half still feels strongly about personality and character, parties and their economic and social issues to be debated to determine the future of our society.

The other half are those who society has failed to either educate or has failed to ensure that our political system is relevant to their lives. It makes no difference to them. Even in this byelection in one of the most right-wing conservative areas , the New Democrats and Conservative voters got round 36 per cent of the vote against a strong leader, premier and personality who was very successful in garnering 60 per cent of the cast votes. But all three parties failed to entice the other 50 per cent of electors from their homes. Perhaps many stayed home because they thought the election was already “in the bag” for the premier

anyway in this strong Liberal area. The “first person past the post” system may be the cause. Constituencies are too small to have proportional voting with voters being able to elect more than one member to the legislature to represent them. People feel disenfranchised by the current ‘one winner takes all.’ If the Central Okanagan’s three constituencies were one, then of the three MLAs, two would be Liberal (one being the Premier) and the third seat would be allocated to the party that got almost a third of the vote in all three—the New Democrats. In most electoral areas there are usually more “loser-voters” than win-

ners. The current system hardly engenders getting out to vote knowing, in advance, its a “wasted vote” if you don’t win. No one believes the myth that the “winner” and her party really will look after their needs and interests. With a two party system, the degree of agreement and concessions to achieve a balanced approach seldom happens. One party is always wanting to “undo” what the other created. Lucky for British Columbians many successful projects, laws and institutions remain in place for decades and successfully evolve. John O. Powell, Kelowna

Train derailment destruction not oil’s fault

To the editor: Re: Great loss in Quebec to train accident. Everyone blames the oil. We should not ship oil by train. It is not the oil. Rail lines ship a lot more hazardous material than just oil. The train could have been filled with gravel or lumber, chemicals, ammunition for Afghanistan (oh, I forgot, we are coming home from that) etc., and there would still have been a lot of trouble at the crash but no fire—maybe. When operating a 73-car+ oil train, the operator and the owner are responsible for the “safe” parking of this line of fuel, especially when a sloped rail line is to either end of the train. There again, it is not the oil’s fault, it is the operators. Then ask, why is such a line of oil cars left unattended if our national government is so afraid of terrorist? If it is so easy to let this train of oil slip loose and run into town for a large

There used to be cabooses on all trains, now we just have a little smart box taped to the end car. I assume the little smart box could not stop the train or ask for help or alert the trouble to head office? In driver training for automobiles, we are taught to park our cars with the wheels turned in the correct direction for parking on a hill or slope and to use our parking brake. Many companies want fewer and fewer workers but still want safe operations and make more money. What is this accident not going to cost the operating company—lawyers, suits and compensation. Please do not forget the many lost lives and the families and friends left behind with the memories. In our Rocky Mountains there are long freight trains going both ways every 20 min-

Let us hope something good comes from this ie: regulations regards parking, attendants etc. Of course, we could all change our ways and not use any oil products again—ever—no matter if the oil comes by pipe, boat or train.

BIKES More homework needed on pipeline safety FOR SALE USED

▼ OIL/BITUMEN TRANSPORT

To the editor: Thank you for covering Enbridge’s presentation to the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce on the Northern Gateway pipeline project. (Making the Case for an Oil Pipeline in B.C. July 9 Capital News.) Enbridge sought the chamber’s support by claiming the project would create huge economic benefits for B.C. Enbridge failed to mention the huge social, economic, environmental and public health costs that would be created by the project. Instead, Enbridge misled the chamber by claiming engineering designs and leak detection equipment will overcome any potential risks from the project. Before supporting Enbridge, the chamber needs

to know that designing completely safe pipelines through steep terrain over five geologically active mountain ranges and over more than 1,000 fish-bearing rivers and streams is a daunting, if not impossible task. Given Enbridge’s high spill record, one certainty is that losses, leaks and spills will occur. Enbridge failed to tell the chamber that pipelines do not shut down every time a leak occurs. In fact, leak detection technology is not very effective and leaks can persist for a long time after they occur. A 2013 US Department of Transportaion study found the most common method of pipeline leak detection occurred when landowners spotted leaks and phoned the company to complain (Ref: http:// yhoo.it/Soloye). Since

Northern Gateway is routed through unoccupied Crown land any leak detection by landowners will be both limited and infrequent. A very detailed 1982 study by the US Environmental Protection Agency determined that historical oil pipeline losses to the environment from all sources, including leaks, averages between 0.01 per cent and 0.03 per cent of product throughput (Reference Page 145: http:// bit.ly/158YEUH). The study also found that larger diameter pipelines have larger average spill sizes than small diameter pipelines (See Figure 46 on Page 143). The Northern Gateway project proposes to move 525,000 barrels per day of diluted bitumen westward to the B.C.

coast in a 36 inch diameter pipeline and move 193,000 barrels per day of natural gas condensate eastward to Alberta in a 20 inch diameter pipeline. A 0.03 per cent loss rate means these pipelines can lose up to 160 barrels of diluted bitumen and up to 60 barrels of natural gas condensate each and every day they operate. Over 20 years (7,300 days), these two pipelines can have combined losses of up to 1.6 million barrels (or one quarter of a billion liters) of hydrocarbons into the environment. About 56 per cent of these losses would occur in B.C. The condensates and the bitumen are toxic and the bitumen sinks to the bottom of rivers and streams making it hard to find and expensive to clean up. These hydro-

carbon losses will have long-term economic costs on the environment, human health and the public health care system. The chamber should be very alarmed that Enbridge has not addressed the public cost side of the ledger. Equally alarming is the fact that the federal cabinet has long supported Northern Gateway without any knowledge of the full public costs involved. It remains to be seen if the National Energy Board and the federal cabinet will (approve) Enbridge’s applications for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity without full disclosure of these public costs.

Blood donors urged to honour appointments

To the editor: Canadian Blood Services is urging Kelowna residents who have booked an appointment to give blood, or plan to donate at the Kelowna blood donor clinic this summer, to please honour their appointments. During the summer months, donors change their routines, take vacations and are involved with outdoor activities, so donating blood is not always top of mind. However, the need

for blood does not take a summer vacation. Based on our forecasts, we expect patients in hospitals across Canada to require approximately 150,000 units of blood during July and August. Locally, hospital patients will need approximately 2,000 units of blood. Canadian Blood Services is counting on Kelowna and area residents to give blood this summer. Please book an appointment to give blood

QUALITY

today. If you already have an appointment to give blood this summer, thank you. If you can’t make your appointment, please contact us at 1-888-2-DONATE (1-888-236-6283) to reschedule for a later date so we can make the appointment available for another donor. Thank you for your continued trust and support. Gayle Voyer, partnership specialist

SENIOR STAR…Jim Buchanan is the regional Senior Star. Senior Star is Canada’s largest talent

competition dedicated to seniors. Now in its seventh year, the singing and musical instrument competition is open to anyone 65 years and over and a Canadian resident. The local audition took place in late June at The Chatsworth Retirement Residence. Laurice Marshall as the first runner up and Delores Sheldon was the third place contestant. During the regional competitions, contestants were given a maximum of five minutes to sing a song, play an instrument or do both, and their performance was videotaped. The competition outcome was decided by a panel of three judges, made up of local musical experts. The winners were presented with a Senior Star trophy and the top two finishers advance to Chartwell Retirement Residences’ Senior Star national competition. Videos of the first and second place winners from across Canada will be considered by a celebrity panel of judges who will narrow the list to 10 competitors. Those individuals will be invited to compete in the Senior Star national final, to be held Nov. 5, in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Alzheimer Society needs your help Want to make a difference in your community by investing just three hours of your time a week? The Kelowna Resource Centre of the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. needs volunteers for a variety of administrative tasks. The work is essential to the society’s support of local families living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. Dementia already affects an estimated one in

11 B.C. residents over age 65, and that number is projected to double over the next generation. The resulting need for assistance is soaring, and volunteers help ensure that the demand is met. “You’ll know you have been helping people at a significant moment in their lives,” said Lila Sofonoff, the society’s First Link coordinator for Kelowna. “You’ll be appreciated and welcomed by staff as one of our team.”

Volunteers are asked for at least one threehour shift per week, during which they will handle a variety of duties, including helping with mail outs, packaging education materials, assisting the walk-in public, answering phones, sending out email notices, and working with databases. Customer service skills, computer skills (Word, Outlook, Excel), and previous experience operating office equipment are required.

Volunteers should also be fluent in English (an additional language would be an asset) and available during the day. Training will be provided. For more information and to volunteer, contact Sofonoff at 250-8600750 or lsofonoff@alzheimerbc.org. Meanwhile, area residents can get more information about Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias by visiting the www.alzheimerbc.org website.

n Canada, the population of older adults is growing. The baby boomer generation is huge. Thanks to modern medicine and health promotion activities we are living longer, but what is the quality of these extended lives? One way to measure the quality of life is in the ability to perform activities of daily living like bathing, eating and dressing. These tasks tend to become more difficult as we age but it is possible to stay healthy and lead a long satisfying life the older we get the more important it is to do the things that keep us healthy like exercising and eating right. Aging is a normal process and some of the signs are familiar to most including loss of height reduced lean body and bone mass, less coordination, loss of balance, flexibility and core strength. An exercise program for older adults should include a weight-training program that features low resistance and high reps, low impact cardiovascular exercise (aerobics, walking, swimming) flexibility, balance and core training! “Core” is a big buzzword in fitness. We have core-training classes; learn to run with our core, keep our core protected, and lift with our core. But what is the core?

a chain, it is only as strong as its weakest link. The midsection of the body needs to be solid and strong to be able to stabilize the spine and pelvis, and transfer force between the upper and lower body. Weak core muscles result in a loss of the appropriate lumbar curve and a swayback posture. Stronger, balanced core muscles help maintain appropriate posture and reduce strain on the spine. Training the muscles

of the core helps correct postural imbalances that can lead to injuries. The biggest benefit of core training is to develop functional fitness—the type of fitness that is essential to daily living and regular activities. Lower back pain has been labeled the most expensive benign health condition in Canada. LBP is often associated with an imbalance of strength and flexibility of the lower back and abdominal muscles. There is a strong correlation between lower back pain and excess bodyweight and decreased physical activity. It makes sense then that physical fitness combined with a healthy lifestyle may help prevent lower back pain. In fact many physicians feel the major cause of chronic low back pain is simply physical deconditioning. Prevention is the key to avoiding lower back pain and individuals should be screened and cleared by physician before starting an exercise program. Some of the best exercises to strengthen the core, according to the Mayo Clinic, are the bicycle, side bends, superman, bridge, abdominal crunches, plank and side plank.

Tomato plants need calcium to thrive here in the Okanagan

T

he Okanagan has perfect growing conditions and weather for growing tomatoes with one exception—calcium deficiency. What, you say. The Okanagan has plenty of calcium with its high pH (alkaline conditions.) Yes it does. But because it is in rock form, it is not available to our tomato plants in the heat of summer. The tomato plant needs calcium because without it, a condition called blossom end rot often occurs. Even though it is called a rot it is not an actual disease, it is an abiotic condition not caused by a pathogen. Blossom end rot is evident by the sunken black area at the blossom end of the tomato. This is really just dead tissue that has turned black which renders the tomato virtually useless. The cell walls in the tomato are made up of mostly calcium. When this trace element is lacking the walls break down and degrade at the growing end of the tomato. In order to prevent this from happening you need to get calcium to the tomato as it is growing. You do this by spraying the fruit when it is the size of a golf ball with food grade water soluble calcium. Powdered milk has been used, as well as liquid calcium from the vitamin store. Repeat periodically as more tomatoes form on the vine. •••

FROM THE GROUND UP

Don Burnett The hot weather we are having can take its toll on the garden. Use the water responsibly folks and by this I mean to recognize what needs it the most to survive through the heat. Lawns and many perennials can brown out somewhat without any long-term damage. When the cool wet weather returns in the fall everything will green up again for the most part. Cedar hedges however can suffer irreversible damage if we let them get too dry for a long period so focus your irrigating there especially if they are providing an important function such as privacy. ••• Well it is time again for my old 1960s band to have at it again. We do it about every five years it seems and Sunday, July 21 we will be playing at Whiski Jacks Pub in West Kelowna. Jimmy LeGuilloux has generously given us the room where he regularly holds Sunday night jam sessions.

A’s still kicking in PBL playoff hunt Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

The Okanagan Athletics did what they had to do on the final weekend of their B.C. Premier Baseball League regular season. Now Evan Bailey’s club will sit back and see if it’s enough to get into the 2013 playoffs. The defending champion A’s delivered under the gun with a four-game sweep of the hometown North Delta Blue Jays over the weekend to finish the season with a 23-25 record. Two teams the Athletics can still catch for the

eighth and final playoff spot—and perhaps even seventh—are in action Tuesday night: the Nanaimo Pirates (23-23) and the Vancouver Cannons (21-24). The Cannons must win all three of their remaining games, while Nanaimo needs a split to finish ahead of the A’s. All in all, the odds look pretty good for the A’s who have rallied back this season from a woeful 5-17 start to post an 18-8 record in their last 26 games. “That was a long, long way to come back after the start we had this sea-

son, so it’s a real credit to the guys for hanging in there,” said head coach Evan Bailey. “For whatever reason, this group seems to be able to win games when they matter. “We hadn’t swept a series all year, so to come through this way, just shows what kind of kids and competitors they are.” After taking the first three games of the series from the Jays, the Athletics looked to be down and out in the finale, falling behind 8-2. But Okanagan rallied all the way back for a 9-8 win as Morgan Lofstrom delivered the winning blow with a

Will Russell went 4 1/3 innings for his team-leading fifth win, while Josh Croft closed with 3 2/3 innings of shutout ball. In Game 2, Morgan Lofstrom drove in three runs and Croft had three hits in an 11-1 Okanagan win. Trevor Lofstrom scattered eight hits for his fourth win of the season. On Sunday morning,

the A’s the made it three in a row with a 5-3 victory. “If for whatever reason, we don’t make the playoffs I couldn’t be happier with the way we came together when it counted,” Bailey added. If the Athletics do make the playoffs, they would be on the road next weekend for the opening round. If Okanagan finishes eighth, it would draw the first-place Langley Blaze in the best-of-three. A seventh-place finish would likely match the A’s up against the Victoria Mariners or North Shore Twins.

Senior Raiders collide with Rattlers in final

Series sweep a boost for Falcons Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

After a couple of days off to enjoy their first series sweep of the season, the Kelowna Falcons will open a three-game West Coast League set on Tuesday night in Wentachee against the Apple Sox. Kelowna will then move on to Kitsap for three games against the BlueJackets later this week, before heading into the WCL all-star break. The Falcons closed out a three-game sweep of Kitsap on Saturday night with a 13-7 win. Team RBI-leader Grayson Porter drove in a pair of runs as the Falcons pushed their record to 1122 and maintained a glimmer of hope in the North Division playoff race. “It was huge for us to win all three,” said Falcons head coach Geoff White. “Kitsap is near the bottom of the standings, so it was a good challenge for our guys and great to see them come through

and get it done. They put it all together and it was a good boost for their confidence.” With four teams ahead of them, it’s still a long climb out of last place in the WCL’s North Division. But with 21 games yet to play head coach Geoff White likes his team’s chances better than he did just a week ago. “We’ve played some good baseball lately and if we can just be competitive in every game, then I think we have a chance to make something happen late in the season,” said White. “With the rest of the league kind of beating up on each other, that’s allowed us to stay in it. We got quite a few games left with teams in our division, six against Wenatchee, so that gives us an opportunity to make up some ground.” The Falcons’ next home action is Saturday, July 27 at Elks Stadium against the Bellingham Bells.

The Kelowna Raiders will battle the Kamloops Rattlers for the 2013 Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League championship. Game 1 in best-ofthree the league finale goes Wednesday night at Memorial Arena in Kamloops. Game 2 is set for Friday at Memorial Arena in Kelowna. The Rattlers won three of five meetings between the teams during the regular season and finished in top spot in the TOSLL. “They’re a solid team, they’ve got three or four guys who can dominate,”

Victor Wiens, a solid two-way player for the Raiders, led the attack with four goals, while Joe Brown, Pho Heng and Matt Gorges each scored twice. Defensively, Darcy Leach, Darren Lornson, Sean Blake and Cody Evans controlled the loose balls and created opportunities for their forwards,

while goaltender Graham Cousins shut the door on the Rocks in the late stages of the third period. And despite an attempt by Armstrong to get the Raiders off their game with physical play, Kelowna didn’t waver from the task at hand. “We had strong goaltending throughout, and we didn’t react to their physical play,” said Manning. “We didn’t play that game, we stayed disciplined and stayed out of the penalty box.

International fastball in Kelowna Wednesday International men’s fastball will be showcased Wednesday at King’s Stadium in Kelowna. At 7 and 9 p.m., the Argentina national junior under-21 team will take on the Kelowna All-Stars in an exhibition doubleheader. The Argentinians are the reigning world U21 champions, having won the title last November in Parana, Argentina. The Argentinians, who recently completed at an international tournament in Saskatoon, will play in the upcoming Vancouver Challenge, before heading to Quad City, Illinois for the International Softball Congress tournament, Aug 10 to 17. Local fastball pitcher Rich Haldane, who has competed at the world championship level, said local ball fans are in for a treat. “It’s a huge opportunity to showcase the sport and show that it’s still happening here in town,” said

Haldane. “King’s Stadium is a beautiful venue, and to have the world junior champions from the junior level come here to play will be great. These kids throw hard and hit the ball very well.” Kelowna’s all-star teams will be comprised of players from the five clubs in the Kelowna Major Men’s Fastball League who Haldane expects will be competitive against the touring South Americans. “There are a lot of good players here in Kelowna and the Okanagan, guys who have played at the senior A level,” said Haldane. “We’ll have our work cut out, but we should do pretty well.” Tickets for the doubleheader are $5 each. Admission is free for kids 15-and-under, or minor baseball or softball player, male or female. Organizers are encouraging young players to wear their team jersey. Gates open Wednesday at 6 p.m.

PUBLIC NOTICE

RECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT

This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act. Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013. The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

Over-activated stress mechanisms

W

hen we are feeling threatened by someone or something, we will naturally fight or flee the situation to defend ourselves or to ensure our survival. This is a healthy and normal response and is sometimes necessary. However the human brain has not evolved much since cave men days when we needed this mechanism to quickly escape from a hungry tiger When we are in a fight or flight response, our brain releases neurochemicals that increase our senses to allow us to track and protect ourselves from the perceived threat. We become hyper alert of the environment around us, seeking out hidden dangers in every corner. Our unconscious survival mechanisms kick into high gear, lowering our blood supply to vital organs and redirects blood supply to our extremities

EMOTIONAL RESCUE

Annie Hopper in case we need to run or fight. After the threat has passed, we stop producing neurochemicals that are associated with survival and our bodies return to their natural resting state and our senses return to normal again. But there are times when trauma causes a malfunction of the threat mechanisms in the brain, causing the brain and body to go into a state of constant alert. When this happens, the brain loses its ability to discern between real and perceived danger and reacts to commons stressors as if we are about to be attacked

by a tiger. When we are feeling threatened over a long period of time, our bodies learn to adapt to this unhealthy state, but at a large cost to our well-being. Functions like rest, digestion, elimination, communication and reproduction are no longer viewed as essential and get over shadowed by our need for protection. In response to a perceived threat, our sensory awareness heightens and we may find that we become sensitive to light, sound, touch, smell and taste. We slowly adapt to this new way of being, unaware that the root of the problem is in the brain. These symptoms are very common in many “invisible” illnesses such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, chemical sensitivities and anxiety disorders. Slowly we learn to adapt to this state and

change the way in which we live in order to accommodate the illness. As we adapt to this heightened level of threat, over time, this inevitably changes the way we view the world. Our happiness and innocence is lost when we are forced to live our lives in survival. No longer the happygo-lucky people we once were, many will turn into bitter pessimists. Happiness seems like a luxury that is no longer available to us. We worry about our future or how we will manage to get through another day. The cascading physical effects of an impaired threat mechanism in the brain and maladapted stress response are very real and the suffering involved is horrendous. So where’s the good news?

▼ ACUPUNCTURE

Treatment for insomnia

I

nsomnia is one of the most common medical complaints—more than one-third of adults have insomnia at one time or another, while 10 to15 per cent suffer from chronic insomnia. With insomnia, a person usually awakes feeling unrefreshed, feeling over-fatigued and having a hard time concentrating during the day. This lack of sleep can sap energy levels and moods, as well as health, work performance, and quality of life. Insomnia can cause daytime fatigue or sleepiness, as well as irritability, depression or anxiety, a loss in concentration and focus on tasks, increased errors or accidents, tension headaches and gastro-intestinal problems. It is a problem that takes a huge toll on a person’s health and well-being. From a Western medical perspective, insomnia can be caused by stress, anxiety, or depression, medications, caffeine, nicotine, or alcohol, eating too much late in the evening, work schedule, changes in your environment or routine, poor sleep habits, and a variety of underlying medical conditions. Insomnia can

ic factors in the body, the mind becomes agitated and sleep is affected. There are seven major factors that lead to insomnia in Chinese medicine: overexertion and worry, overwork (both mental and physical and working long hours without adequate rest), anger-related emotions (including frustration, resentment, and irritation), constitutional weakness that leads to timid character, irregular diet, childbirth, and internal heat in the body. The most important differentiation for insomnia is whether it is due to excess or deficiency. Once this differentiation is made, there are a number of different patterns that lead to insomnia: 4 excess-type patterns and 5 deficiency-type patterns. It is this very specific diagnosis that makes Chinese medicine so effective for insomnia. Treatment will focus on improving quality of sleep but also accompanying symptoms according to the type of insomnia.

Treatment may include making changes to sleeping habits, relaxation techniques, light therapy, behavioural therapy, and in difficult cases, medications. In Chinese medicine, insomnia covers a number of different sleep-related problems such as an inability to fall asleep easily, waking up during the night, sleeping restlessly, waking up early in the morning, and dream-disturbed sleep. As with Western medicine, the amount and quality of sleep depend on the state of the mind. Because the organ most closely related to the mind is the heart, it is often affected in cases of insomnia. If the heart is healthy, the mind will be grounded and sleep will be sound; if the heart is deficient or if it is being affected by other internal pathogen-

Sometimes it’s smart to go back after a layoff

T

he weird world of employment law sometimes compels employees to go back to work for the very employer which fired them. Recently, just such a case played out in the Ontario Superior Court. A man named Chevalier had been employed by about 32 years when he was laid off from his employment by Active Tire & Auto Centre Inc. He responded by suing for damages constructive dismissal. That fact, alone, was not surprising. Employers commonly fall into the trap of thinking they can lay off employees without any ramifications. The legal reality is just the opposite. Unless the employer has contractually reserved the right to impose unpaid layoffs, making such a change to the employee’s status will be viewed by the courts as a constructive dismissal. This is an example of the general rule that when an employer unilaterally imposes substantive changes to an employment contract, the employee sometimes has the right to treat those chan-

YOU WORK HERE

Robert Smithson ges as a termination. Such a “constructive” dismissal is every bit as real as if the employee were actually informed of the termination, and gives rise to the same right to claim damages in lieu of notice. Not every imposed change, however, will amount to a constructive dismissal. The change must be one which is substantial and which goes to the heart of the employment relationship such as a transfer, demotion, substantial reduction in wages, or (as in Chevalier’s case) an unpaid layoff. The twist in Chevalier’s circumstances was that his employer, upon realizing its error, wrote to him and asked him to return to work. It acknowledged to Chevalier that it had acted under the mistaken impression that it could lay him off and it

apologized for its mistake. This would have created a dilemma for Chevalier because an employee suing a former employer for damages for wrongful dismissal has a legal obligation to mitigate his or her losses. The employee can satisfy this duty by making reasonable efforts to find other employment (or to otherwise generate earnings to replace the lost wages). This duty to mitigate also arises out of the law of contract—flowing from that body of law is the premise that the innocent victim of a contractual breach must take steps to reduce his losses. In the employment context, this means the terminated employee must make attempts to return to employment. So, individuals claiming damages for wrongful dismissal must make reasonably diligent efforts to find new employment. If they do not do so, this failure to mitigate will negatively impact their entitlement to damages (pay in lieu of notice). Chevalier chose not to return to employment with Active Tire. He then

spent the next 17 months unemployed. And when he got to trial against Active Tire, the Court found he should have accepted its offer to return to work. The court determined that returning would not have exposed Chevalier to an atmosphere of hostility, embarrassment, or humiliation. Chevalier had, according to the court, failed without justification to mitigate his losses. In doing so, he deprived himself of 16 months’ wages as damages because his action for constructive dismissal was dismissed. These sorts of scenarios don’t arise all that often but, when they do, they can be very costly for the employee who refuses the employer’s overture to return. So, when you’re former employer says, “Y’all come back now”, give that invitation careful consideration. This subject matter is provided for general informational purposes only and is not intended as legal advice. Robert Smithson is a labour and employment lawyer, in Kelowna.

Winery aids muscucular dystrophy research An event aimed at raising money and awareness for those who suffer from muscular dystrophy was held among the vines at a local winery. A field full of Kelowna residents turned out last week to enjoy an evening of pilates and wine at St. Hubertus Winery on Lakeshore Road in Kelowna. Pinot and Pilates, organized by Kyla Ramirez and her team at Complete Core Pilates in Kettle Valley, and hosted by Andy and Suzanne Gebert from St. Hubertus Winery, raised more than $1,000 for Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy. The charity is run by parents of those affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It is a cause close to Ramirez’s heart, as she has close friends with two boys who have the disorder. She said she was touched by the support from clients, friends and family. “It was wonderful to receive so much support for the event. Duchenne is devastating, but it is little-known, apart from by those who are impacted by it,” she said. “Tonight we managed to raise over $1,000 to support those struggling with the condition, and helped to raise awareness too.’’ Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the most common fatal genetic disorder diagnosed in childhood. As the Duchenne gene is found on the X chromosome, it primarily affects boys. It occurs across all races and cultures. Duchenne results in progressive loss of strength and is caused by a mutation in the gene that encodes for dystrophin. The lack of dystrophin means that the muscle cells are easily damaged. The progressive muscle weakness leads to serious medical problems, particularly issues relating to the heart and lungs. Young men with Duchenne typically live into their late 20s.

PARTICIPANTS in last week’s Pinot and Pilates fundraiser for Duchenne muscular dystrophy at St. Hubertus Winery, line up to try some of the wine produced at the South Kelowna vineyard.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen it's cherry season Local orchards are giving up their delicate, sweet red cherries now so we can enjoy them in all kinds of meals and to snack on, for the next couple of months. Although most of us think of cherries in desserts such as that old favourite, Cherries Jubilee, or in pies, in fact, they are just fabulous served in a refreshing salsa to complement a piece of grilled meat because they’re wonderful with the smokiness of barbecued meat. Pitted, they’re also a great addition to a salad and taste grand with slices of barbecued steak or shreds of moist chicken over greens. If you’re a fan of smoothies or refreshing sorbets, you’ll love the sweet flavour of fresh cherries in them too. Strong-flavoured cheeses such as goat cheese, gorgonzola or blue cheeses also pair well with fresh, ripe cherries, with their sweet juiciness. Would you believe that 80 per cent of the new varieties of cherries grown around the world were actually developed right here in the Okanagan? So where better to pick up your favourite fruits? As the first tree fuits of summer ripen, so does the lavender that does so well in the hot, sunny, dry Okanagan summer, and Kelowna’s own farm, Okanagan Lavender and Herb Farm on Takla Road is where to pick it. On July 21, there’s a day full of events for hospice set amidst the beauty of the garden, beginning with a release of butterflies, an artisan marketplace, garden art, children’s activities, food and music from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The community is invited to remember and honour loved ones by releasing butterflies, while listening to music and enjoying the work of local artists. From 5:30 to 8:30, Art in the Garden will feature dinner by award-winning chef Mark Filatow of Waterfront Wines and dessert by Roger Sleiman of Quails’ Gate, along with an art auction to benefit the Central Okanagan Hospice Association. The first awards focussed on local food enthusiasts are underway, with nominations for best in several categories just closed, and voting beginning today, so go online and vote for your favourites. It's at: www.facebook.com/eatlocalnatural You could even vote for my book Jude's Kitchen in the food advocacy category! If you don't already have a copy, pick one up wherever books are sold, or at local wine boutiques. It features nearly 200 recipes for fresh, local B.C. foods, arranged by the season.

Sweet Cherry Salsa with Ginger & Cilantro Serve this flavourful salsa with grilled pork or chicken or with fish. It’s refreshing, sweet and tart, with a hint of spice from the ginger. 2 c. (500 ml) cherries 1/2 c. (125 ml) cucumber 1 orange 2 tsp. (10 ml) fresh ginger handful of fresh cilantro sugar or honey 1 lime

Pit and chop the cherries and chop the cucumber into small dice. Peel the orange, segment it and chop each in half. Mince fresh ginger and fresh cilantro leaves Put all ingredients into a small serving bowl and sprinkle with fine white sugar or a spoonful of honey, to taste. Squeeze the juice from a small lime over top and then mix everything together gently but thoroughly. Makes about 3 cups.

Sweet Cherry Sorbet Instead of rich, thick ice cream, a sorbet is light and full of sparkling fruit flavour so a perfect choice after a heavy dinner or on a hot day. Unlike the sherbet, there’s no dairy in a sorbet, just sugar syrup and fruit. This recipe requires an ice cream maker. 4 c. (1 l) fresh or frozen sweet cherries 1 tbsp. (15 ml) lemon zest 1/4 c. (60 ml) sugar 1/4 c. (60 ml) orange juice 1/4 c. (60 ml) lemon juice 1/2 c. (125 ml) boiling water 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) almond extract

GARNISH:

coarsely-chopped fresh cherries roasted sliced almonds small chocolate chips

Pit cherries and place in the blender. Either frozen or fresh cherries can be used. Zest a lemon and mince it. Combine in a heatproof bowl the zest, sugar, orange and lemon juice and pour the boiling water over it, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved completely and cool the syrup. Pulse the cherries until coarsely chopped, adding the cooled sugar syrup and then blending until smooth. Mix in the almond extract. Pour the mixture into the frozen bowl of your ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer’s instructions, likely for 30 minutes or so, until thickened. Put into plastic containers such as yogurt tubs and freeze for at least several hours, or until firm enough to scoop out. Makes nearly two litres.

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
