Mountie, pedestrian hit by truck during arrest in Rutland

Wade Paterson

STAFF REPORTER

An RCMP officer and the man he was arresting were hit by a pickup truck last Friday morning on Rutland Road South around 11:20 a.m.

According to Const. Lise Marion, a police vehicle had stopped a pickup truck and an officer was in the process of arresting the driver when a second pickup truck’s passenger mirror struck both individuals who were standing beside the RCMP SUV. “It was a slow hit, but still struck the policeman and the person he was arresting,” said Marion.

“Minor injuries were sustained by the police officer and, I believe, the arrestee as well. And there was some damage to the police vehicle.”

Marion wouldn’t comment on why the man was being arrested in the first place.

However, his truck was being searched following the crash and a police dog was on scene.

She predicted the driver who caused the crash likely misjudged the distance as he passed the emergency vehicle.

The driver has been charged for failing to yield to an emergency vehicle.

Boating flare being blamed for brush fire outbreak Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

There is a possibility life will return to normal today in Kalamoir Regional Park when the last section of forest reopens to the public.

Saturday evening, it’s postulated that a flare from a boat ignited a steep, rugged area below Weatherhill Road in the park, placing five homeowners on “tactical evacuation” and sending the rest of Kelowna and West Kelowna into alert

mode as one of the first significant forest fires of the summer was sparked in a highly populated area.

“There were several eyewitness reports of fireworks being used in or near the park,” said a news release issued Sunday morning by Darren Lee, assistant fire chief with West Kelowna Fire Rescue.

By Monday morning, speculation had it there may have been a boat flare from somewhere in the Casa Loma region, directly beside the

bridge, that landed in the park’s brush—a mixture of coniferous forest and ecologically sensitive grasslands punctuated by popular running trails and beaches.

No matter the cause, the message to tourists and residents enjoying the 30 C-plus heat of the coming week is cautionary.

“It’s extremely dry and the fire hazard remains high. If not for the quick response by West Kelowna and B.C. Wildfire Management fire crews last night, this could have been

much worse than it was,” said Bruce Smith, regional district communications officer, in a news release issued Sunday.

The incident brought career and paid-on-call city firefighters out from Lakeview Heights, Westbank, Rose Valley and Glenrosa when it was initially called in at 7:44 Saturday evening.

They were soon joined by seven wildland firefighters, RCMP, paramedics, an air tanker and helicopter.

Okanagan Caribbean Festival Caribbean music, dancing, games and food took over City Park Saturday for the second annual Okanagan Caribbean Festival.

Jack Taylor, organizer of the festival, said there are a lot of people in the Okanagan who are either from the Caribbean, have been there often or are anxious to visit. His goal was to bring that culture to Kelowna through a unique event.

Spencer Jones—also known as DJ Shado—played Caribbean music throughout the day while those in attendance had the opportunity to compete in limbo competitions, try reggae dancing and even participate in Zumba.

The event also gathered donations for the Kelowna Community Food Bank.

Taylor said he hopes to continue the Okanagan Caribbean Festival in future years.

Fire department facing upheaval richard rolke CONTRIBUTOR

North Westside Road residents are demanding to know what is going on at the fire hall.

The North Westside Communities Association is urging residents to contact the Regional District of Central Okanagan about fire chief Wayne Carson not being on duty.

“Many of you are asking, ‘What’s going on with the fire department?’ You’re asking each other, you’re asking me and you’re asking members of the fire department,” said Marsali MacIver, NWCA president, in a letter to the membership.

“The problem is that none of us actually knows what has transpired.”

Carson, who has been chief for 19 years, was suspended by the regional district for three days in June.

He returned to duties after the suspension but a leave of absence began July 8.

City plates a new public art offering CRYSTAL Przybille’s

Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Look up, look way up at the new additions on Bernard Avenue’s light poles and you’ll find Crystal Przybille’s latest edition to the public art collection.

The young artist has already made her mark in Kelowna with a well-researched, painstakingly crafted bronze likeness of founding pioneer Father Charles Pandosy and the intricate tree grates, known as Element, one can find on Cawston Avenue and Abbott Street.

In so doing, she has shown a deep appreciation for the area and the need for artistic expression in public spaces to give root to a sense of place.

“I felt very much ensconced in his history and thought it would be really interesting to have a sculpture of this figure. A lot of cities have sculptures of historical figures, represented for tourists and so that the general public can get a sense of the identity of the community,” she told the Capital News in July 2011 as she worked on the sculpture.

Przybille said she realized the Okanagan needed to pay homage to Pandosy 14 years ago when she was living in a small cabin across from the mission he established; she would eventually time the sculpture to mark the 150th anniversary of the its settlement, which passed in 2010, seeing the work finally installed on the site last year.

The priest established European culture in ex-

metal plates reflect the three place-making themes also found in the other streetscape details along Bernard Avenue.

isting First Nations territory—not to mention planted the area’s first orchard and contemplated growing the first wine grapes for communion, as was the custom in his native France—and Przybille said his story grabbed her from the outset.

This latest project consists of 46 metal fabricated plates she designed to be added to the light posts on the newly upgraded Bernard Avenue main drag, between Abbott and

Pandosy streets, and is reminiscent of Element.

“A notable feature is that the stainless steel plates are back-lit so that the art illuminates at night,” said Pat McCormick, City of Kelowna public art coordinator, adding that the artwork is really the crowning touch on the street.

The plates, mounted on 23 light posts, reflect the three place-making themes the city worked into the Bernard Avenue designs—the aqua-

tic environment; the hillsides and grasslands; and the cultural history of the community.

Submissions from six local artists were evaluated by members of the City’s Public Art Roster and Przybille, an accomplished artist with several public art projects to her name in other cities as well, was selected to do the work. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @jaswrites

Peachland swimmer drowns in Ok Lake

▼ CRIME

The B.C. Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a man who died last Saturday following a snorkelling incident in Okanagan Lake near Peachland.

The deceased swimmer is David Bernard Mulhall, 70, of Peachland.

Mulhall was a long-time diving and snorkelling enthusiast. Late in the afternoon of July 20, he went alone to a beach on Okanagan Lake at the foot of Beach Avenue in Peachland with his snorkelling equipment.

He was seen to enter the water, but did not come out.

He was found shortly afterwards on the lake bottom and was transported immediately to Kelowna General Hospital, but he died in hospital later the same day.

The coroners service and RCMP continue to investigate this death.

Mulhall was one of five persons who died this past weekend across B.C. in water-related activities.

Police quiet about suspicious death Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Monday morning has come and gone and there is still no news on a suspicious death in Mill Creek a week ago Sunday—one of three major crimes police are saying little about.

The death, which occurred in the creek near Sutherland and Harvey Avenues, is potentially the second murder of the year.

However, information has yet to come forward indicating whether the “suspicious” term attached to the case means the death is a homicide.

“I would really just be speculating,” said RCMP spokesman

Const. Steve Holmes, the Monday after the incident when asked if the individual found had been killed by someone else.

The situation remained the same for Const. Kris Clark, the regular media spokesperson for the Kelowna RCMP who returned to his duties Monday.

Eye witnesses say three men, who appeared to be homeless, went into the bushes at the creek and only two came out.

A bystander eventually went down to the waterway to take a look when a pair of shoes floated downstream.

Whether this story accurately reflects what happened, or even whether the deceased is a man

or a woman, is still up in the air.

More than a week has passed.

Recently it took nearly four days to confirm a young woman found dead in her Glenmore home was murdered.

She died shortly after midnight on June 18 and, while police have released a sketch of a man seen in the neighbourhood at the time, thus far that is about all the RCMP have said.

There is still no word on how 27-year-old Theresa Ashley Neville, the mother of an eight-yearold and 10-year-old, was killed.

The other major outstanding crime happened just a couple of weeks before, on Monday, June 3, when a young woman was

pulled from a trail in Mission Creek Regional Park and sexually assaulted.

It took two days for police to make a statement to the public indicating the assault had occurred and, while they have now released a sketch of the victim’s attacker, they have said little else since it happened.

It has not been confirmed whether the young woman was raped, only that she was hit over the head, dragged into the bushes and assaulted. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @jaswrites

er damaged portion of the Bristol could return.

The fire was the first of two serious apartment building fires in the Rutland area in the last week.

The second, at the 52unit Legacy II building on Rutland Road North, resulted in extensive damage, including destruction of the roof and it has forced all the residents of that building out for the foreseeable future.

The Bristol’s owner contacted most of the residents of that apartment building Thursday and is working on a plan to facilitate re‐entry to allow for the removal of contents as soon as it is safe to do so, said the fire department.

Meanwhile, the department says a “resiliency centre” has been established with the joint support of the Canadian Red Cross, Salvation Army and community volunteers to help displaced residents.

Residents with unmet needs, or those requiring special assistance with no other options, are encouraged to seek out the assistance of the Canadian Red Cross at the centre.

Support for residents may also be available through the B.C. Ministry of Social Development (residents should contact the local office) or through B.C. Housing (bchousing.org).

Starting today (Friday) the Salvation Army is also offering assistance to affected residents in the form of clothing

and household goods that have been generously donated.

Residents are asked to come to the centre to access this support.

The public is also being asked to help.

Anyone wishing to donate funds to assist the residents of both the Bristol and the Legacy apartment buildings is encouraged to contact the local Canadian Red Cross office by phone at 250491‐8443 and mention the Kelowna Apartment Fires fund.

The fire department is also urging landlords that have available rental units to contact the local Canadian Red Cross office at 250-491‐8443.

The Red Cross will be assisting by matching available units with residents requiring accommodation.

The department is publicly thanking all the agencies and volunteers involved in assisting residents impacted by the two fires.

In a related matter, assistant chief Bob Andrews and training officer Johane Andrews resigned July 4 to express concern about the regional district.

“At our board of directors meeting, the directors decided to put forward this letter of support for those hardworking, volunteer firefighters and medical first responders who have faithfully and professionally come to the aid of so many members of our community over so many years,” said MacIver.

“We, as an association, fully support the work done by our fire department and wish to express that support in the strongest possible terms. We are very concerned that the events that have transpired have eroded the morale of the volunteers in our fire department and will have a negative impact on community safety.”

Jim Edgson, North Westside’s RDCO director, insists there has been open communication with residents.

“We are not keeping people in the dark. The regional district is working with the fire department out here (to ensure operations),” he said.

Allergic reactions can compromise pet’s immune system

T

he human body is probably the most sophisticated machine ever invented with one of the most important parts being the immune system.

The immune system responds to chemicals released from injured cells.

These chemicals attract the immune cells, that act as the body defence forces to break or isolate the causative agent. This process is called an inflammatory reaction.

Inflammation and infection are very close terms, and hence are commonly misused. The difference between inflammation and infection is that infection, by definition is the inflammation reaction in the body, resulted by the invasion of a pathogenic causative agent such as a virus, a bacteria or a parasite.

The treatment for infection is primarily done by destroying the causative pathogen. Specific medications such as antibiotics, both anti-viral and anti-fungal, are just examples of the options for specific treatments of a given infection.

However, not all the inflamma-

common. Strangely enough, the pet suddenly becomes allergic to its food, even if it is a food that it was eating for a long time. This type of allergy requires strict feeding of an hypoallergenic diet, with absolutely no offering of any type of other food or snacks.

Atopy is a genetic allergy to some object in the environment, often a seasonal condition.

While the best treatment for allergy is the elimination of the cause, at times the cause for the reaction can not be identified or eliminated.

Then the treatment for the immune mediated disease will be a medication that suppresses the immune system function.

The most common type of these medications are steriod-based drugs.

Steroids are excellent in controlling the symptoms, but unfortunately they pose potential serious side effects, which makes them not ideal for long-term use. It is a treatment that should be proceeded with under a veterinarian’s close supervision.

The second type of sterile inflammation is an autoimmune disease. In

this condition, the body recognizes a part of itself as foreign and attacks it.

The most common autoimmune diseases in pets usually involve the skin.

Among many other autoimmune diseases, autoimmune anemia, a process in which the immune system attacks the red blood cells, intestinal involvement or a dry eye, due to the body’s immune defense against the tear glands are also quite common.

Because the source of the inflammatory reaction is actually an essential part of your pet’s body, the only treatment for these conditions is suppressing the immune system function usually by the use of steroids.

As with all medical problems, early detection greatly improves the treatment outcome and prognosis.

Keeping a close eye on your pet’s health condition, and any changes arising, may be significant in successfully controlling any illness in it.

NEWS ▼ ENTREPRENEURS

Technology continues to open new business opportunities

W

hat a week over these past seven days— technology deals, investment projects, community partners vying for winner take all and governments wondering what is going to blindside us next.

But has anyone you taken the time to stop, look and listen to the plethora of dance partners that the Okanagan offers us in the world of organizational development?

What’s new in economic development, investment and innovation centres seems to be the “flavour of the month” syndrome that permeates every corner of our days.

This year has seen an onslaught of angel investment scenarios that would stumble the normal mind.

Every day seems bring up a game to play to find that brass ring of venture capital, partnerships to turn an entrepreneurial dream into the reality world of success.

But c’mon now, let’s be real, please!

It seems 2012 was a good year for the classic

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young entrepreneur. Substantial leaps in technology have made it continually easier for widespread adoption of a seemingly good idea and for a small venture to scale successfully to an empire.

As we look ahead to the 2013-14 curve, all eyes now focus on upcoming trends for the balance of this year and into next which will fuel innovation, job creation and economic growth.

As the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society and the Capital News entrepreneur columnist in residence, I constantly have my ear to the ground of the entrepreneur community and the investment world.

In the past year, I was lucky enough to speak to many entrepreneurs of all

levels of execution, and from those conversations it is easy to predict trends that may shape entrepreneurship over the next few years.

For example, traditional financial institutions have never been stricter with their financing constraints.

Most entrepreneurial ventures are continuing to bootstrap but are encouraged by alternative funding options as more borrowers and lenders are becoming quite creative.

Crowd funding, peer to peer lending sites, investor associations, angel investors and revenue-based financing are merely a few of the examples of alternative financing tools increasingly available to our technological entrepreneurs of the success mill.

The trend in big companies investing in small companies also plays a role in providing capital to entrepreneurs whose ventures may grow to become long term partners or even potential customers.

With the explosion of big data technologies predicted to increase to 43 per cent over the next 10 years and with that accelerated adoption of the Cloud, more and more companies will look to technology as a strategic advantage to scaling successfully in their journey.

As budgets remain tight, venturists will increasingly look to outside tech vendors to serve as advisors and will expect them to provide IT services and tailored recommendations to met their specific needs.

Make no mistake, entrepreneurs have the same IT concerns and priorities as large established corporations but are often working on a much tighter budget.

In order to address their top priorities, new entrepreneurs need to be agile and have the flexibility to scale up and down depending on customer demand.

This enables smaller ventures to solve shortterm needs while simultaneously keeping an eye

on longer term challenges. Entrepreneurs continue to struggle with accessing qualified sustainable talent.

In particular, I’ve heard from entrepreneurs who say they have jobs available, but there are not enough people with the specific skills to compete in the job market from sales roles to even operating manufacturing equipment.

A lot can be gained by understanding how to maximize current and potential human capital within an entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Online and in-person networking opportunities have been ever so valuable for matching poten-

tial employees to openings.

Training will always be a key factor in ensuring our future workforce has the skills to compete in the critical job market, and those still facing unemployment will need to look to training solutions for today’s jobs.

The problem is a challenge, one I am told frequently we ought to expect that technology will be a vital piece in bridging this gap between employers, training and the workforce.

Now, more than ever, I am told by our technological gurus we will see an influx of groups that cultivate a vibrant community of entrepreneurs

who connect with one another for new sources of financial and human capital, knowledge and market share.

Be wary and alive Okanagan entrepreneurs of today and tomorrow as you are the future to not only the region, but our province and our nation.

Please don’t settle for anything but the best that you can be in your dream quest, for it is the dreamers who make our world what it is and can be.

We are here for you.

The business complexities of recording expenses W hether you are a sole business proprietor or involved in a corporation, there are many ways in which the recording of expenses can become complex.

The first determination is should the expense be recorded as an asset or as an expense.

The rule of thumb is if the item being expensed will last more than one year and is worth more than $500, then it probably should be entered as a capital asset on the balance sheet.

In starting up your own company, you will need to have, at a minimum, a separate business bank account.

Many banks have business packages where you can qualify for a business line of credit as well as a business credit card.

This leads me to the next level of complexity, when you pay for business items using a personal bank account or credit card.

The proper method of handling these kinds of transactions is to list all the expenses on an ex-

BEHIND THE COUNTER

Gabriele Banka pense report and have the business reimburse you for these items.

Then you pay your personal credit cards from your reimbursement cheque.

Unfortunately, with many smaller companies personal lines of credit are used for business purposes, probably because the interest rates on personal as opposed to business lines of credits are much better.

This would make the interest on the line of credit a business deduction, but because it is in the personal name, the business would need to issue a T5 to the individual because this becomes a taxable benefit to the shareholder.

The shareholder would then need to claim the T5 on their personal income tax return and

write off the interest expense on the LOC on schedule 4 as an investment expense.

Only credit cards and lines of credits that are issued in the business name are considered bona fide business liabilities.

It is much simpler to record the expenses from a business credit card, because all the expenses can be assumed to be business related.

The next level of complexity is that the GST can’t be deducted on non-business items. Or, if the actual receipt showing the GST paid is missing but is listed on the statement, the tax can’t be estimated except for automobile fuel.

So what if you have a business credit card and are using it for personal purchases?

Those personal purchases will need to be recorded against your shareholder loan account.

That account represents your investment in the business.

If you have a loan, most lenders will not want you to redeem any of that shareholder loan

amount before their loan is paid back.

Yet another level of complexity arises when there are multiple companies involved.

If one company pays an invoice of another company, similar transactions need to be posted in both companies using an intercompany account.

These intercompany accounts need to be reconciled on a monthly basis to make sure that they balance.

As an example, ABC Company pays an invoice for XYZ Company.

In ABC Company, to comply with the software requirements, the vendor would need to be set up in ABC’s books.

Then the entry though the accounts payable subledger would be to debit intercompany XYZ account and credit accounts payable. Then when the cheque is issued, the software would debit accounts payable and credit the bank.

The transaction needs to be recorded in XYZ’s books as well.

So you would set up the vendor in XYZ’s

Harley riders rally in our valley Some 800 members of the Harley-Davidson Owners’ Group will ride into Kelowna this weekend to attend the 13th Western Regional HOG Rally.

Dubbed Rally in the Valley, the event takes place from Thursday, July 25, to Sunday, July 28.

The rally will have a charitable side to it, supporting both the local Boys and Girls Club and other local causes.

Participants are coming from all across Can-

ada, 15 U.S. states and as far away as Germany to take part in the many activities planned over the weekend.

Okanagan HOG chapter members ask for courtesy and patience from area drivers to make these visitors’ experiences safe and pleasant ones.

“We are thrilled that our event has sold out,” said Marianne Boettcher, the Western Regional HOG rally coordinator.

customer and create an invoice that will credit the Intercompany XYZ account and the software will debit accounts receivable.

For the ABC company, you would record the receipt of the intercompany cheque in the normal manner as you would in receiving any other sort of cheque.

So what about the taxes you ask? Since the expense is an XYZ ex-

Harper must redefine his mandate

P

rime Minister Stephen Harper and other political party leaders will be hitting the barbecue circuit across Canada, trying to keep their ground troops motivated with a federal election two years away.

The public likely won’t know if he does come to their community, as members of the media are usually barred from attending.

Interestingly, this is one reason why the barbecues are more important than ever for Harper this summer.

For the first time since he has become Conservative party leader, he has an opponent with a formidable brand name — Justin Trudeau of the federal Liberals, who will spend the day in Vernon and Kelowna today.

While Trudeau is very much an untested commodity, thus far attack ads mounted by the Conservatives have had almost no effect.

The Conservative brand itself has been badly tainted by the Senate expense scandal, and

particularly by Senator Mike Duffy, a former member of the media who is facing numerous investigations. While he now sits as an independent, some of the investigations centre around his billing taxpayers while at the same time doing Conservative political work.

Because the prime minister has so little time for local media, most of whom have no interest in the battles between the Ottawa press gallery and the government, he foregoes the chance to get his message out via local

television stations, community newspapers and radio stations.

He has let himself become defined as an angry man, barricaded at 24 Sussex Drive, ranting at a long enemies list.

While Trudeau is untested, and the Trudeau brand has glaring weaknesses in Western Canada, Harper may have finally met his match after demolishing three earlier Liberal leaders.

Harper needs to reach the public without the Ottawa filter—and the barbecue circuit is one of the few ways he does so.

Green MLA in conversation on coal and controversy

A

fter climate scientist-turnedGreen Party MLA Andrew Weaver had a taste of debate in the B.C. legislature, I asked him for his impressions on that and other issues. Here are excerpts from that discussion: TF: You did a study comparing burning all the world’s coal reserves and all oil reserves, showing how big coal really is. The federal government says that when you add up what’s actually being used in North America, carbon emissions from coal are about 30 times more than from oil.

Now we have a symbolic coal export ban in Vancouver, which doesn’t apply to Port Moody or Point Roberts

or Prince Rupert. Do you think there’s any significance to this?

AW: There is no question that the biggest issue around is coal, because coal use is on the rise worldwide. Not in the United States, because they’re converting [power production] to natural gas. This is why American producers are saying, let’s ship it to Asia. California says no, Oregon says no, Washington says no.

Vancouver says no, British Columbia, not sure.

It’s pushing us to start thinking

about what I think is going to be the greatest industrial revolution the world has ever seen, which is transformation of energy systems away from Tom our combustion apFletcher proach, which is essentially what we’ve been doing since we were in caves. We’ve gone from burning wood to now fossil wood, and fossil plants and fossil algae, to a much more modern era of production of energy through natural means—solar, wind, geothermal etc.

TF: Liquified natural gas. The

VICTORIA VIEWS

NDP says they are absolutely in favour of that now.

AW: I have questioned the economics of it from day one. There’s a market differential that exists now.

There’s that small window because Japan is moving from nuclear to natural gas. But we’re way behind everyone else.

TF: Thirty years ago, Japan played Australia and B.C. off for metallurgical coal. Those northeast B.C. coal mines are back up and running again, but you’re seeing a similar thing here?

AW: Yes. And if we start shipping natural gas to Asia…the Asian price comes down, the North American

price goes up. British Columbians haven’t been told that.

TF: How has the legislature session been for you?

F AW: I sit there and watch the two parties. Rhetorical question, condescending answer. Rhetorical question, a condescending answer.

▼ CONDO FIRES

Quick fix: Communal barbecue area To the editor: In light of the recent condo fires in Kelowna, there has been much debate over whether residents should be prohibited from having barbecues on their balconies.

Although the underlying cause of these bar-

becue-related fires is almost always human error, regardless of who or what is to blame, I don’t think anyone can argue that they can present a serious fire hazard.

That said, we use our barbecue very regularly and would likely not pur-

chase a home where they are not permitted. It seems though, that the writing is on the wall and it is only a matter of time before this strata corporation, along with many others, bans barbecues from balconies.

In an effort to keep everyone’s interests satis-

fied, I suggest that the strata corporations purchase several barbecues and picnic tables (depending on the number of residents) and create an outdoor barbecue area that all residents could use. While it obviously will not be quite as con-

venient as stepping onto your balcony, it would still allow us to cook outdoors but would eliminate the safety issues and, as an added bonus, would provide an opportunity to get to know our neighbours.

ers contents and also the building itself can stipulate that they will not cover any fire damage caused by the use of any type of barbecues on the premises.

Therefore, there is no need for building codes or bylaws etc.

With the popular use of vinyl siding for these buildings, any barbecue can emit enough heat to

melt and start the siding on fire which produces so much toxic smoke.

We were lucky not to lose anyone in these two fires in Rutland. It will be the insurance companies

that will have to pay out now that the barbecues are done.

Okanagan College to celebrate 50th in September To the editor: Okanagan College is reaching out to former students and employees of the B.C. Vocational School, Okanagan College and Okanagan University College as we prepare to celebrate our 50th birthday.

Just as Beatle-

mania was sweeping the shores of North America, then-Premier of British Columbia W.A.C. Bennett officially opened the doors to the B.C. Vocational School on Sept. 28, 1963.

Since then, through amalgamations, growth, development and constant

change, our institution has delivered valuable training to tens of thousands of students and helped communities throughout the region with economic, social and cultural development.

We know our former students and friends have spread throughout the

world and we’re inviting them home to the Okanagan for a fun, informal party we’re planning on Sept. 27, 2013.

We’re also asking them to connect with us electronically to relate stories from their time at Okanagan College, and to nominate those people

who have made a difference over our five decades of quality training and education.

NEWS ▼ ACCUPUNCTURE

Tennis elbow stems from repeated forearm muscle use T ‘‘ ennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is an overuse injury that affects the area where the tendons of your forearm muscles attach to the bony part of the outside elbow.

This causes pain in the outside of your elbow, which can also radiate from the outside of the elbow into the forearm and wrist.

There can be pain when you extend your wrist and pain during certain activities such as shaking hands, turning a doorknob, or holding certain objects, such as a coffee cup.

The condition can also cause forearm weakness.

The pain of tennis elbow is similar to golfer’s elbow, but golfer’s elbow occurs on the inside rather than on the outside of the elbow.

Tennis elbow is caused by repeated contraction of the

forearm muscles that are used to straighten and raise your hand and wrist, such as with the backhand stroke when playing tennis.

However, there are many other common causes of tennis elbow, including using plumbing tools, playing other racket sports, painting, raking and weaving.

The repeated motions and stress to the tissue may result in inflammation or a series of tiny tears in the tendons that attach the forearm muscles to the bone at the outside of your elbow.

Generally, rest is the best medicine for tennis elbow.

But tennis elbow that has not been allowed to heal prop-

erly can lead to chronic pain.

Using your arm too strenuously before it has properly healed can James cause further Kaufman damage or prevent proper healing.

Analyzing what motions are causing the problem can help you to change your habits to reduce stress on the elbow.

Exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles of the forearm can also help recovery and prevent re-injury.

Acupuncture can be a great option for dealing with tennis elbow and promoting proper healing.

In this way, acupuncture not only relieves symptoms, but goes further to address the heart of the problem, unlike other treatments such as medications, which serve only to relieve symptoms.

practice.

With the summer boating season in high gear, the Aug. 3 to 5 B.C. Day long weekend is the perfect time to remind local boaters about the risks of drinking and boating.

Combined with sun, wind, waves and the rocking motion of the boat, the effects of alcohol on the water can be greatly increased.

“The CSBC would like, through this initiative, to raise attention to the problem of boating under the influence and to remind boaters not to drink and boat,” said Jean Murray, chair of the Canadian Safe Boating Council.

Operation Dry Water will focus on the potential risks of drinking and boating, and remedies that are currently in place to discourage it.

Federal statutes dictate that, whether or not your craft is motorized, you can be charged with Impaired Operation of a vessel under the Criminal Code of Canada if your blood alcohol level exceeds the .08 threshold.

This means you can be charged even if you are impaired while operating a canoe and a judge is able to, upon conviction, suspend your boating privileges.

But that’s not all; it can get worse.

Some provinces have enacted legislation where drinking and boating can affect your automobile driving privileges.

In Ontario, for example, Bill 209 amended the Highway Traffic Act to also apply to “anyone operating or having the care or control of a vessel.”

As such, anyone found boating with a blood alcohol level above .05, faces an on-the-spot automobile drivers’ license suspension.

Should the person’s blood alcohol concentration exceed .08, upon conviction, an additional suspension of up to one year can be applied.

Operation Dry Water is aimed at reducing the number of alcohol-related accidents and fatalities on the water while fostering a stronger and more visible deterrent to alcohol use while boating.

The end goal? To achieve safer and more enjoyable recreational boating.

Kelowna sculptor creates theatre thespian award

▼ FUNDRAISER

Hockey players help out families Hockey players from 24 teams hit the Capital News Centre ice earlier this summer to participate in the charity TRUE Consulting Hockey Tournament in support of Ronald McDonald House BC. The tournament raised more than $30,000, which will fund 400 nights of accommodation for B.C. families with seriously ill children.

Since the tournament’s inception in 2008, this volunteer-run event has raised over $125,000 to date.

Ronald McDonald House BC is a “home away from home” for families when they must travel to Vancouver for their child’s life-saving treatment.

At this residence, these families have access to hot meals, comfortable accommodation, and other services which put joy and normalcy back into their lives.

Most importantly, families at Ronald McDonald House BC have a safe, affordable place where they can stay together under one roof.

Some 42 per cent of RMH BC families come from Kelowna and other locations in the B.C. Interior.

The hockey tournament is made possible by the generosity of the Okanagan business commun-

ity and by the enthusiasm of TRUE Consulting staff.

“Our company has been around for 25 years, but we have a young demographic and our staff have had a lot of kids in the last few years.

We chose to support RMH BC because having healthy kids is such a blessing,” said tournament organizer Dave Pritchard.

Volunteers and participants also have the satisfaction of helping families they may know from their home communities.

With construction of a new 73-bedroom Ronald McDonald House BC currently underway on the grounds of B.C. Children’s Hospital, the organization will soon be able to serve hundreds more families in need from Kelowna and the Interior.

“I don’t know what we would have done if it wasn’t for Ronald McDonald House BC,” said Jenn, a mother from the BC Interior who stayed at RMH BC while her daughter received specialized treatment in Vancouver.

“We will never be able to thank the House and the incredible people who reside in it enough—for the financial burden they lifted, for the stability they provided, for enabling us to keep our family together.”

THIS coveted bronze Thespian Award, created by local artist Geert Maas, was presented at the recent Theatre BC Mainstage awards.

It was 20 years ago that Kelowna artist Geert Maas won a provincial competition with his design of the coveted bronze Thespian Award celebrating the 60th anniversary of Theatre BC Mainstage.

The award was unveiled in Vancouver.

Ever since, Maas has made between 12 and 18 “thespian” awards to honour Theatre Mainstage award winners in various categories during Theatre BC’s annual provincial theatre festival, which took place earlier this month in Kamloops.

The bronze award represents the mysticism, balance and tension in a performance and the actors’ tenuous hold over an audience.

At first, the sculpture appears to be a single person balancing on one foot.

It could also be two figures, or a

why I love my Tempur-Pedic

woman cradling a child, or a theatrical embrace.

The award reflects the combined effort that must be taken to create a performance.

Besides the award for Theatre BC, over the years Maas has created awards for the British Columbia Museums Association, the wine industry’s People’s Choice Award, Okanagan Science and Technology (OSTEC) awards, and the Tourism Kelowna award.

Maas and his wife Elly established the internationally acclaimed Geert Maas Sculpture Gardens and Gallery in the early 1980s in Kelowna, featuring one of the largest collections of bronze sculptures in Canada.

His work is represented in collections in 34 countries. In 2010, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award during the Okanagan Arts Awards.

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 en-

sure 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 three-hour 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 also be provided.

For more information and to volunteer, contact Lila Sofonoff at 250-860-0750 or email lsofonoff@ alzheimerbc.org.

Water-based exercises: Diving into hydrotherapy rehab option Tess Mihell CONTRIBUTOR

With the temperatures soaring these summer days, many people are hitting the lake to cool down.

But hopping in to the cool blue does more than just help you to beat the heat—exercising in the water can have many benefits to the body.

Hydrotherapy (the use of water in treating various conditions) can be used to treat arthritis, postjoint replacement surgery, low back pain, neurological conditions, musculoskeletal injuries, and more.

Even if you aren’t treating a physical condition, exercising in the water is a great way to keep your muscles strong, and your cardiovascular system healthy.

If you aren’t a swimmer, hydrotherapy still can be an option, as exercises are often performed in chest-height depth or less.

Hydrotherapy can assist with pain, range of motion of joints, strength, balance, walking, and even spasticity through the properties of water.

Buoyancy can assist in unloading sore, or arthritic joints.

It can also assist weak muscles, depending on the direction of move-

ment. Conversely, buoyancy can also provide resistance in order to strengthen weaknesses.

Another beneficial characteristic of hydrotherapy is the hydrostatic pressure—the pressure that the water exerts on your body.

This can help to decrease swelling, and to improve venus return (blood flow back to the heart).

Exercises can be performed in different temperatures, depending on the goal of the hydrotherapy. For example, when addressing pain or stiffness, a warmer pool is usually preferred.

For more vigorous exercises, a more refreshing temperature is ideal.

Many land-based exercises can be performed in the water, with little or no modifications to performance necessary.

If you have been prescribed exercises, and you are interested in turning them into pool- or lakebased, your physiotherapist can be of assistance in this.

If water-based exercises are safe and comfortable for you, here are some that you can try in the pool, or in Ogopogo’s watery home.

Only do the exercises through a range that is without pain. You may

feel like your muscles are working hard, and your heart rate may increase, but don’t push on if you are having any negative symptoms such as: chest pains, shortness of breath, dizziness, or anxiety.

Slow-and-controlled is the name of the (exercise) game in order to stay safe, as well as making your body work harder.

• Marching on the spot with high knees • Forward walking • Sideways walking

• Backwards walking, great on the glut muscles •Squats, just watch how far down you go, depending on the water depth • Bend and straighten elbows, with palms facing up Even with all the benefits listed, it is important to decide if exercising in the water is right for you.

Factors to consider are: the accessibility of the pool, anxiety or fear

of being in water, availability of assistance if required, negative reactions to being in cool or warm water, open sores, active infections/inflammation, or any medical conditions

that may be affected by this kind of exercise.

If you are unsure, ask a health professional before initiating this activity.

If you chose to take the plunge into hydrotherapy,

be sure to have fun and enjoy the beautiful summer weather the valley has to offer.

Canadian “Superfood” Gaining International Attention Creator of UMAC-Core™ UMAC-CORE is a unique product created out of an urgent need. In 2004 Tom Harper was diagnosed with a life threatening illness caused by asbestos exposure and given only months to live. He had been raising shellfish at his Research Sea Farm on Vancouver Island, simultaneously perfecting the only method worldwide of growing wild phytoplankton for use in the Aquaculture industry. Based on the wild plankton’s powerful nutritional profile, upon his diagnosis he decided to consume the blend of micronutrients as an energy source he so desperately needed at the time. Every day he ingested the minute ocean plants and every day he felt stronger and experienced less pain. Finally a surgeon performed exploratory surgery. To the doctor’s surprise he was inexplicably able to deliver Mr. Harper a clean bill of health.

People are even giving it to their pets with remarkable results. In fact, Kim Iles says it’s the results she gets with animals that have convinced her of the product’s efficacy. “It’s not a placebo effect when you give it to your pets. We’ve nursed sick animals back to health with UMAC-CORE. That’s how I judge if a product really works - if you can see results with animals - and we do.”

UMAC-CORE quickly gained far more attention than Harper could have imagined. “People were experiencing really positive shifts in their health,” Harper says. “Our success was consumer driven and we weren’t quite prepared for the demand.

There were times when staff would offer to spend the night at the office so that we could get the Mr. Harper’s Sea Farm which grows the wild product out, and they often did!” phytoplankton offered in UMAC-CORE is also making a positive impact on the environment. “I Today UMAC-CORE is available in over 800 consider it one on the greenest companies in the health food stores across Canada, in stores world.

PUTTING FOOD ON THE TABLE

The provincial government is investing a further $2-million in funding to expand the Farmers’ Market Nutrition Coupon Program.

This funding will provide lower-income seniors and families in Kelowna with the tools they need to access locally grown produce and food products and support improved healthy eating behaviours.

Among the local participants in this program are the Kelowna Farmers’ & Crafters’ Market, The Bridge Youth and Family Services and the Kelowna Community Food Bank.

The program offers $15 worth of coupons each week to individuals and families enrolled in the nutrition and skills building programs offered by community agencies associated with each participating market.

Coupons are treated like cash and can be used to purchase a variety of B.C. food products including fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, eggs, nuts, dairy and herbs.

The program is expected to support about 1,300 families and 400 seniors in 2013 and will continue to expand.

This year, the program has added 13 new markets for a total of 34 participating markets located throughout the province.

WIN A HOUSE

If you’ve been dreaming about finding that perfect new place to live, Kelowna’s Troika Group has a deal for you.

On Saturday, July 27, and Sunday, July 28, anyone who stops by Troika’s newest townhome development, Green Square, between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., can enter a lottery to win a new house.

Green Square, 3626 Mission Springs Dr. in Kelowna, is unveiling its show home during the two-day event, and there’s no cost to come down and register for a chance to win.

“The first phase of Green Square is almost sold out and we’re beginning construction of phase two, so it seemed like the perfect time to do something really unique and offer a chance to win one of these exceptional units,” said Troika Group CEO Renee Wasylyk.

Facing the gritty side of outreach nursing Take Home Naloxone program proven to save lives for at-risk people

While they don’t happen often, drug overdoses are a reality in Kelowna.

And for staff at the downtown Outreach Urban Health Centre, they know each death is preventable.

So when the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) introduced a pilot project called Take Home Naloxone, they knew the potential to save lives was one step closer.

Naloxone is a prescription drug that can reverse heroin, morphine and other opioid-based overdoses.

When an addict overdoses, they go into respiratory distress and an injection of naloxone, if administered quickly, can get that person breathing again.

Under the direction of an outreach clinic, at-risk participants in the pilot program would be given a kit they would carry with them.

Inside each kit are two ampules of naloxone, two hypodermic needles and basic instructions. It is similar to an EpiPen, but easier to use and has no harmful side effects.

Avneet Khela, who just graduated from the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at UBC Okanagan, played a crucial role in preparing for the implementation of this program at Kelowna’s Outreach Urban Health Centre.

This spring, Khela completed a six-week practice placement at the centre and did much of the necessary groundwork for the program.

Part of her work involved a survey of outreach clinic clients and Khela asked clients questions about drug use and whether they had ever witnessed an overdose. Most had.

After completing her survey, she engaged stakeholder groups, organized information sessions about the program and got the local RCMP and

Khela quickly became immersed in the job, showing up before dawn, going out on the streets with outreach workers, meeting the clients and ensuring they got the help they needed that day.

The more people she met, the more convinced she became that naloxone had to be in the hands of people who use opioids.

“From the very first day on the

job, this has been such a big learning curve for me and I’ve learned so much about myself and the need for outreach in this community,” she says.

Kelowna ranks fifth in B.C. for deaths from illicit drugs, with 46 deaths in the past five years.

Until the province launched the initiative in 2012, only BC Ambulance Service and medical personnel could administer the medication. In 2011, BC Ambulance used naloxone 2,367 times.

“Drug addicts and those who live on the streets deserve the right

to proper health care, as do all B.C. residents,” says Khela.

“It’s important for people to not be judgemental,” she said. “People need to realize that everyone has an equal right to health care, everyone deserves the right to be cared for and to feel that somebody cares about them.”

UBCO nursing instructor Natalie Murdoch says the development of the clinic’s Take Home Naloxone pilot program is a great example of the benefits of the university and Interior Health partnership, along with the help of the BCCDC.

The City of Penticton will get a helping hand from UBC Okanagan to reach its goal of reducing corporate greenhouse gas emissions.

Professor Keith Culver, the director of the UBCO Sustainability Institute, connected City of Penticton staff with professor Rehan Sadiq and associate professor Kasun Hewage from the university’s School of Engineering.

Hewage and Culver recently presented to Penticton council a plan for UBCO grad students to conduct energy reviews on city-owned buildings, and develop software to help the city improve overall energy consumption for all its properties.

In 2011, Penticton adopted its Corporate Climate Action Plan with the goal of reducing municipal greenhouse gas emissions 20 per cent by 2020. The plan also acknowledged that 56 per cent of the city’s energy consumption and 62 per cent of the city’s greenhouse gas production comes directly from municipal buildings.

UBCO’s engineers—with a grant from Canada’s Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council and matching grants from FortisBC and the City of Penticton—want to develop software that will help municipalities become more energy efficient.

Buildings considered for the Penticton study include the city’s arena, its 1960s-era city hall, the museum and library building, and the recently constructed community centre, which received silver certification as a green building by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program. Sadiq, principal investigator, and Hewage will employ UBCO graduate research students for the study.

As they look at everyday energy usage and basics, such as heating and ventilation systems, Hewage says they will also examine the use of paper, pens, batteries, electronic appliances, and other consumable items that may end up in a landfill. It’s the use and final disposal of these items that will be taken into consideration when it comes to measuring the efficiency of each facility.

“We will do a full life-cycle analysis of the buildings,” said Hewage. “This is not a snap-shot, but a very thorough and comprehensive review of the energy consumed by these buildings and the carbon footprint they are making.”

Once the study is complete, the engineers will then prepare a computer software program designed specifically for Penticton so the city can do a similar analysis of the remaining municipally-operated buildings.

“The lifecycle asset management tool will be used to monitor and adjust building controls on an ongoing basis to maximize the city’s energy efficiency,” explained Hewage. “Our ultimate goal is that this program will be adapted for other municipalities and become a mainstream tool used to conserve energy.”

Hewage says Penticton was the perfect target for this research as the city is mid-sized and has a combination of old municipal buildings, along with some new state-of-the-art facilities.

“Our presentation received unanimous approval by council and they have been very supportive of this idea,” Hewage added. “This will be a three-year study and once we have done our review of the buildings, we will be able to give the city a full environmental impact—from beginning to end—of current use of these buildings.”

Penticton’s Acting Mayor Garry Litke says the ground-breaking partnership demonstrates UBCO’s dedication to educating and training engineers locally and will help the city develop a tangible product that should help reduce energy consumption for the future.

Kierra Smith golden at summer nationals Led by aspiring Olympian Kierra Smith, four members of the Liquid Lightning Swim Club struck for a total of five medals at the Canadian Summer National Championships last week in Point Claire, Que. Smith, 19, set the pace for the West Kelowna-based club with a gold medal in the 200 metre breaststroke and added a silver in the 100 metres. It was Smith’s first ever national senior title.

It was an especially satisfying result for Smith who was coming off a challenging first season of collegiate swimming at the University of Minnesota.

“It means a lot to me,” Smith said of the gold medal. “I had kind of a

tough first year at school, going from metres to yards and back to metres again, and I wasn’t eating all that well, so it was an adjustment. But my training and routine seems to be back where it was, so I was glad to be able to follow up on what I did last year.”

In 2012, Smith won silver in both the 100 and 200 metres at nationals, and silver in the 100 in 2011.

In April of 2012, Smith narrowly missed qualifying for the Olympic Games, finishing in fourth place.

“I have three years to prepare and try and qualify for 2016, so that will be one of my main goals,” Smith added.

Meanwhile, Smith’s

teammate, Rohan Jacobs, was equally as impressive picking up a pair of silver medals.

He fell just shy of a national championship gold in the 50 fly, finishing 1/100 of a second behind a swimmer from Richileu, Que. In the 100 metre fly, another close second as Jacobs came in second, just .2 of second back of the gold medalist from Oakville, Ont. David Dimitrov added a fifth medal for the West Kelowna-based club, earning a bronze in the 400 individual medley.

Christina Russo was the fourth LLSC member to compete and smashed her own record on the 50 metre butterfly.

Senior Raiders three-peat league title Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

With a 4-6 record, it was admittedly a mediocre regular season for the Kelowna Raiders.

But there was nothing remotely second-rate about the Raiders’ play in the Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League playoffs, as they swept their way to the 2013 Shaw Cup title.

After disposing of Armstrong in straight games in the semifinal, Kelowna did the same to the Kamloops Rattlers, winning the best-of-three final 2-0 and capturing

the TOSLL crown for the third year in a row.

The Raiders secured the championship Friday night inside a scorching, hot Memorial Arena in Kelowna, beating the Rattlers 9-5.

The league’s top two scorers, A.J. Lockwood and Riley Donahue, were basically handcuffed by a staunch Raiders’ defence, while Graham Cousins was nothing short of spectacular in Kelowna’s net.

“We had to shut down their top scorers to win and our guys did a great job of that,” said Raiders captain Jacob Illichmann.

“Ryan Phillips was great,

he came back from a suspension and completely shutdown Lockwood. He did nothing. “(Goalie) Graham (Cousins) was unbelievable in net for us, too,” added Illichmann. “He’s been huge in all three of championship wins since he came here.”

After a tight first period, the Raiders ripped the game open in the second frame with five goals.

Braden Renner, Joe Brown, Jordan Innes and Ryan Sage scored two goals apiece, while Illichmann sealed the deal with a goal late in the third, as the Raiders peaked at the

ideal time of the season.

“It was huge for us to win this again,” Illichmann said. “We had a rough year at the start, but the guys hung in there and we just kept building. The guys really bought into being a team and it paid off for us.”

With the win, the Raiders qualify to represent TOSLL at the provincial senior C lacrosse championships.

However, due to other commitments by some Kelowna players during the tournament, the Raiders are not expecting to compete at this year’s B.C. finals.

FORMER Kelowna Rockets’s defenseman Tyson Barrie (right) is pursued by ex-captain Brett Palin during the team’s annual alumni game Sunday at Capital News Centre.

In addition to being a reunion for old teammates, friends and fans, the Kelowna Rockets Annual Alumni weekend is also renowned for its fund raising efforts for the Kelowna General Hospital.

The 2013 edition of the event, which includes a golf tournament and a hockey game raised more than $35,000 for KGH’s orthopedic ward, boosting the 12-year total to more than $350,000. The totals

don’t include the proceeds from Sunday night’s silent auction.

“We were thrilled with our alumni weekend again this year, and proud to be able to donate to Kelowna General Hospital,” said Rockets Director or Marketing, Anne-Marie Hamilton.

The weekend’s fundraising efforts received a boost from former Rocket, Vern Fiddler, who played in Kelowna from 1997 to 2001. The veteran of 580 NHL games donated $5,000 on behalf of his

charity, the Fiddler Fights Cancer Foundation.

On Sunday, past Rockets like Luke Schenn, Jason Deleurme, Josh Gorges, Tyler Myers, Blake Comeau, and Jamie Benn were joined by some current Rockets players on Sunday night vas the annual Kelowna Rockets Alumni Weekend came to a close.

The fans were treated to some sensational passing plays and incredible displays of skill on the way to a 14-9 final.

Benn, who plays for

the Dallas Stars and is a 2014 Olympic team hopeful, opened the scoring just 25 seconds into the first period.

That theme would continue throughout the game, as the alumni took this opportunity to enjoy themselves and entertain the crowd.

Deleurme, who, at 36, was the oldest player on the ice, turned back the clock with a hat trick of his own.

The Rockets begin their preseason exhibition schedule on Aug. 30.

CALGARY’S Jon Bird set the pace at the 65th edition of the Across the Lake Swim Saturday in Kelowna.

Calgarian takes 65th Across Lake Swim Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Thirty-one-year-old Jon Bird couldn’t have asked for a better result in his first attempt at the Interior Savings Across the Lake Swim.

Bird was the first to cross the finish line Saturday with a time of 23 minutes and 36 seconds.

“This is the first sum-

mer I’ve done it. I’ve heard a lot about it; my wife has done it a few years in a row,” said Bird, a professional triathlete from Calgary, Alta.

Bird used the Across the Lake Swim as a warm-up event for the Peach Classic triathlon the following day.

“Usually I charge out of the water and I’m going to the bikes. So this is a

real treat to come out and get all this attention—normally with triathlons, you don’t quite get that much.”

Fifty-one seconds separated Bird from his nearest competition in the 2.1 km swim; 16-year-old Alex Diaz, of West Kelowna and a member of the Liquid Lightning

Four B.C. medals for Stroda

CONTRIBUTED

OMSC Lake Monsters (let to right) Phred Martin, Denise Cesselli, Tracey Sutton, Leora Dahl and Mike Stamhuis will swim the English Channel as a relay team next week.

Relay across English Channel Five swimmers from the Okanagan Masters Swim Club (OMSC) will be jetting off to England at the end of this month to swim across the English Channel as a relay team.

The team dubbed the OMSC Lake Monsters will be swimming across the English Channel as conditions permit the week of July 29.

The swim starts in Dover, England and finishes near Calais, France. The span of the Channel at this point is 35 kilometres as the crow flies but strong ocean currents and tides could push the distance to over 45 kilometres.

The OMSC Lake

Monsters consists of Canadian Masters record holder Mike Stamhuis, Phred Martin, Denise Cesselli, Tracey Sutton and Leora Dahl. They have been working on an extensive training regime preparing themselves for what could be a very cold swim. No wet suits are allowed.

When asked about his training schedule Martin said: “I am currently swimming 12 times a week-about 30 km in total—between the pool, Okanagan Lake and the Kettle River. At this point, our training is about endurance and getting mentally fit for the Channel.”

Their coach, Brent Hobbs, swam across the English Channel solo in 2008, and to this day, is one of only three British Columbians to successfully complete the race.

“Having swum the Channel, I know how important it is to prepare physically and mentally for the challenge. I was able to draw on this experience to help the OMSC Lake Monsters prepare for the rigors of swimming long distances in really cold water, and to do so in rough ocean conditions. However, what I am most impressed with is how the OMSC Lake Monsters have come together as a

team. Each of them has experienced some adversity on their journey, such as succumbing to hypothermia, exhaustion and injuries. They have really supported each other, and I believe that this, above all else, will get them through to France,” said Hobbs.

To give back to the community, the team is raising funds for the YMCA’s Y Strong Kids Campaign which enables children and families to participate in sports.

Donations can be made in the Lake Monster’s name at www. ymcastrongkids.ca

It was a weekend to remember for Kelowna’s Aaron Stroda who topped all youth competitors with four medals at the B.C. Track and Field Championships in Kamloops.

The 17-year-old OKM student won gold in hammer throw, shot-put and discus, and a bronze medal in javelin.

In the hammer throw, a sport he only took up 15 months ago, Stroda improved on his previous best mark by 4.50 metres, to 57.30m.

“I was expecting a throw over 55 metres and was very happy to find quickly into the competition with my first win of the day,” said Stroda.

Stroda then came close to his personal best in shot put, winning the gold medal in the male competition with a toss of 16.13m, one meter ahead of closest competitor. “I expected to win with a distance of over 16m. My next goal is to come close to the 17m. We’ll see what is possible for the rest of the season.”

On Day 2, Aaron secured a bronze medal in javelin (51.36m), then

KELOWNA’S Aaron Stroda won four medals in throws at the B.C. track and field championships. finished the weekend off with his third gold medal win—this time in discus with a toss of (48.76m).

“Aarons overall performance this weekend was remarkable,” Stroda’s coach, Verena Stroda.

“It is paying off to train Aaron multi-faceted all winter and during the season. His overall fitness helps him to perform well during those weekends.

It’s a joy to watch him having fun at a high level.”

Falcons playing well heading to break

S

The Kelowna Falcons hit the West Coast League all-star break on a winning note, beating the hometown Kitsap Bluejackets 6-1 Sunday afternoon in Bremerton, Wash.

Caleb Olson scatted three hits over five innings to earn his second win of the season as the Falcons took two of three games in dthe series from the Jack-

ets.

The bullpen duo of Karl Myers and Josh Phillips kept the Bluejackets at bay, tossing four shutout innings to preserve with victory, while Reed Lavallee paced the offence with two of Kelowna’s eight hits.

The Falcons are on their best run of the season, going 6-4 over the

last 10 games.

At 14-25, the Falcons are eight games out of top spot in the WCL’s North Division, with 15 games to play. The top two teams in each division will make the post-season.

All but three Falcons players will enjoy an extended break before returning to action Saturday night at home to the

Bellingham Bells.

Grayson Porter, Darren Kolk and Nolan Johnson will take part in the WCL all-star game Tuesday night in Victoria.

Porter will also participate in the annual home run derby. Porter, an outfielder from Linden, Texas, leads the Falcons in hitting this season with a .357 average.

Carlsen first woman across lake

u

-

1Cross Lake from A22 d -Swim Club, completed the swim with a time of 24 gminutes and 27 seconds.

“I knew there were going to be some really fast swimmers out there,” said Bird.

“Sometimes pool swimmers aren’t as apt in the open water. I came

from the pool and it took me a long time to learn how to swim in open water really well.

“Sometimes with the swells or currents you have to change the tempo of your stroke on the fly.”

West Kelowna’s Scott Andreen was third in 25:17, while Kelowna’s Spencer Dean was fourth

in 25:21.

Calgary’s Jeanne Carlsen was the first woman to cross the finish line with a time of 25:29.

The team event was won by The Cabin Crew, featuring Glenn Carlsen, Jeanne Carlsen, Brent Hobbs, Michel Stamhuis and Connor Hobbs.

This year marked the

65th anniversary of the Across the Lake Swim.

Approximately 650 swimmers took part in this year’s race. Twentyfour lifeguards were on the water to ensure the athletes were safe.

BABB, HERBERT GEORGE (BERT) April 9, 1928 - July 16, 2013 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Bert, beloved husband, father, brother and Granddad on July 16, 2013 at the age of 85. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 43 years, Wenda; his daughter Evelyn Stewart, granddaughters Deanne (Bryce) Walsh and Shonna Lavery his sister Dora McTavish and nephew Iain McTavish. He was predeceased by his step-son Randie Collins. Bert was born in Glasgow, Scotland, did his primary schooling in Musselburgh and went on to serve in the British Army in Palestine.

For 17 years, he managed the security at the Kelowna airport with British military precision.

He enjoyed boating and enjoyed his year as Commodore at the Westbank Yacht Club. He was an avid gardener and photographer and loved the challenge of a good game of backgammon – over a glass of wine.

KOLISNYK, VICTORIA It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Victoria (nee Semeniuk) Kolisnyk on Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at the Central Okanagan Hospice House at the age of 88.

Victoria was born on August 3, 1924 in Pine River, Manitoba to Michael and Anastasia Semeniuk.

Victoria is survived by her daughter Stella Rowbotham, sons Victor (Lauretta) and Edward (Roseanne), 8 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren, sister Jean Pura, numerous nieces, nephews and extended family. She was predeceased by her husband Stephen Kolisnyk, her parents Michael and Anastasia Semeniuk; sister Caroline Caruk; brothers Rudolf and Carl Semeniuk; and son-in-law Allan Rowbotham.

Family was most important to Victoria, and she especially enjoyed a family gathering and the preparation of her most favourite day of the year, Christmas Eve, where the tradition of a Ukrainian Christmas Eve dinner, prepared by Mom (affectionately known as Baba by her grandchildren), was enjoyed by us all. Mom also loved hairdressing and started her career as a hairdresser in the early 50’s. Victoria and Steve would eventually retire in Dauphin, Manitoba.

In 1984 they moved to Westbank, BC to be closer to family, and in 2005 to Kelowna.

Prayers will be offered on Friday, July 26, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. at the Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, B.C. Funeral of Divine Liturgy will be held on Saturday, July 27, 2013 at 9:30 a.m. at the Ukrainian Catholic Church at 1091 Coronation Ave., Kelowna, B.C. with Father Andriy Werbowy officiating. Interment at the Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery on Monday July 29.

Pallbearers - David Rowbotham, Christopher Kolisnyk, Bradley Rowbotham, Richard Horner, Alexander Horner, and Stephen Horner.

In lieu of flowers, those wishing to remember Victoria, may honour her memory by making donations to the Central Okanagan Hospice House, 2035 Ethel Street, Kelowna, B.C., V1Y 2Z6 Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com 250-860-7077.

Guaranteed Lowest Prices applies only to our major supermarket competitors’ print advertisements (i.e. flyer, newspaper). We will match the competitor’s advertised price only during the effective date of the competitor’s print advertisement. We will not match competitors’ “multi-buys” (eg. 2 for $4), “spend x get x”, “Free”, “clearance”, discounts obtained through loyalty programs, or offers related to our third party operations (post office, gas bars, dry cleaners etc.).
