▼ CONCEPT PLAN

Council suggests scaled back City Park visitor centre building

Wade Paterson

STAFF REPORTER

A Tourism Kelowna visitor centre is still part of the plan for future upgrades to Kelowna’s City Park, but it will likely be much smaller than what was initially proposed.

Kelowna city council received information regarding the public feedback to the draft City Park Concept Plan during its meeting Monday.

After receiving 69 letters—most of which opposed a proposed 16,000-square-foot tourism facility—along with phone calls, surveys and online comments, many councillors agreed the public has spoken.

Even as of noon Monday the city continued to get feedback—a faxed pe-

tition with 27 signatures opposing a visitor centre in City Park was received prior to the council meeting.

Coun. Robert Hobson said it likely “wouldn’t work” to move forward with the type of facility that was originally envisioned.

He suggested a “pedestrian-oriented” visitor centre would be more appropriate than a destination tourist centre, adding a new highway location might work better for rubber tire visitors.

Coun. Andre Blanleil agreed that the building should be smaller; however, he indicated Tourism Kelowna needs a presence of some sort in City Park.

“I don’t support no building in the park—I believe that’s the right lo-

cation for it,” said Blanleil.

City staff were asked to begin work on the concept plan for City Park in 2012.

‘‘

THAT’S THE BIGGEST ENGAGEMENT WE’VE EVER HAD OF OUR CITIZENS. Luke Stack

From March 14 to April 25, 2,700 people visited an online engagement tool—built to communicate ideas regarding upgrades to the park.

“That’s the biggest engagement we’ve ever

had of our citizens,” said Coun. Luke Stack.

Stack said he was happy with the response; however, was disappointed that many of the positive features of the Draft City Park Concept Plan— such as increased safety and improved pedestrian, cyclist and vehicle traffic flow—were lost among the negative focus on the visitor centre.

Mayor Walter Gray said he’s happy the public consultation took place so early in the process.

“The best way to get feedback is to throw an idea on the table,” said Gray.

Council directed staff to work with Tourism Kelowna to discuss ways to reduce the size of the building that would house the visitor’s centre.

▼ THIRD RECENT DEATH

Man dies in fatal accident on lake

Wade Paterson

STAFF REPORTER

A man in his 40s has died after crashing his personal watercraft into a log boom near Trader’s Cove Saturday evening.

West Kelowna RCMP received a report of a personal watercraft accident around 8:30 p.m. Satur-

day on Okanagan Lake.

Const. Kris Clark said the collision caused a loud noise, which was heard by another boater in the area.

A man was located in the water with trauma to his head; he was wearing a personal flotation deice.

He was taken by a Kelowna Fire Department rescue boat to Kelow-

na Yacht Club and then transported to Kelowna General Hospital by EHS, where he succumbed to his injuries.

This summer has proven one of the more deadly summers in B.C. in terms of the number of people who have drowned; Saturday’s incident marked the third

drowning in Okanagan Lake in eight days.

The incident was the first vessel crash that has resulted in death this summer in the Kelowna area.

The victim’s name has yet to be released.

According to Clark, visibility and speed were likely factors in the crash. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

NEWS ▼ CRIME

Microsoft scam hits Okanagan Kelowna RCMP have received four reports of a so-called Microsoft scam from local residents over the past few days.

The scam consists of a cold-call from a person claiming to represent a well-known brand, such as Microsoft, who then proceeds to tell the victim they are checking into a computer problem, infection or virus that has been detected on the victim’s computer.

The scammer gets the victim to give up remote access to their computer and will then spend some time on the computer trying to demonstrate where the problems are in order to convince the victim to pay a fee—usually

hundreds of dollars—for a service that will fix the computer.

While there is probably nothing wrong with the computer, the scammer tricks the victim into believing a problem exists.

This can lead to credit card information being compromised as it is given to the scammer.

In some cases, the service offered may be the installation of malware or spyware, making the computer a fountain of information for them.

Police have received at least four reports of this scam over the past few days indicating the callers are using very aggressive tactics and have

even called back multiple times.

“Do not give in to their fraud as you will only be out the cash you paid for the phoney service,” said Kelowna RCMP Const.

Kris Clark.

“Never give out personal or financial information over the phone as you never know how that information will be used.

“And never allow someone you don’t know to have remote access to your computer, no matter how legitimate their sales pitch sounds.”

Clark added the calls have been coming from outside of the country and, so far, victims here have lost between $150 to $300.

SHOW AND SHINE…There was plenty of gleam and horse-power on display Sunday during the annual Customs and Classics Car show in Lake Country. The show brought out a big crowd to see the cars.

Man hurt in house blaze A Kelowna home was destroyed and a local man taken to hospital following an early morning fire Sunday.

The fire occurred at a house on a Burne Avenue just before 5 a.m. Sunday.

Kelowna firefighters responded to the call at 4:50 a.m. after a 911 caller reported flames coming from a neighbour’s deck.

The first crews on the scene noticed heavy black smoke and flames coming from the side of a two-storey residential home.

Be bear aware in woods

Three engines, one rescue vehicle, one command vehicle and a safety truck, along with 10 personnel, responded to the scene with assistance from the RCMP, BC Ambulance Service and Fortis BC. Firefighters found one person in the house and he was taken to hospital with smoke inhalation and burns to his hands.

After confirming that all residents were out of the house, Kelowna Fire Department crews worked to extinguish the Visitors to this area can encounter wildlife at any time. But this time of year, regional parks require more bear awareness.

The house was completely lost in the blaze— the owner is insured.

Improvements coming to intersection A project to improve safety for motorists at the Highway 97, Grizzly Road intersection went to tender Friday.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure will be constructing improvements and changing traffic patterns to reduce the risk of crashes at the busy West Kelowna intersection.

“Over the last decade there’s been a big increase in commercial and residential develop-

ment along Highway 97 through West Kelowna, which has led to safety concerns at some of the smaller intersections,” said Premier Christy Clark, the MLA for Westside-Kelowna.

“This investment helps address those concerns, making it safer while preserving access to Grizzly Road from the highway.”

The project involves building raised concrete medians to channel and

protect vehicles at the intersection.

Other safety improvements include overhead lighting and better drainage.

When the project is complete, vehicles will not be able to turn left from Grizzly Road onto Highway 97, or travel directly across the highway.

Traffic will be able to make right and left turns onto Grizzly Road from Highway 97, and make right turns from Grizzly

Road onto Highway 97.

Left turns onto the highway and travel across the highway can be made at the signalized intersections at Daimler Drive and Butt Road.

The project is valued at $2 million and was developed in consultation with the District of West Kelowna and Westbank First Nation.

Construction is expected to being in late summer and finish in early fall.

No dough for Subway robber

Staff of a downtown Subway Restaurant are shaken, but uninjured, after an unknown man came into the store, brandished what appeared to be a knife and demanded

cash Sunday night.

Kelowna RCMP responded after receiving a report of attempted robbery at 9:17 p.m. Sunday.

An unknown man entered the Subway res-

taurant at 1100 Lawrence Ave. and demanded money from the cash register.

The two staff members working at the time were able to barricade

themselves into a back room and the man left the scene on foot, empty-handed.

No one was injured in the incident and the investigation is ongoing.

The suspect is described as a five-foot-six Caucasian man with a slender build.

Police say he was last seen wearing a black zipfront hoodie with white

hood strings, blue jeans, dark shoes and a single white glove.

Anyone with information is asked to call Kelowna RCMP Const. McBride at 250-762-3300.

While campfires are now allowed, at this time, open burning remains prohibited.

As well, local bylaws also prohibit the use of fireworks at any time throughout most areas of the Central Okanagan.

Use of fireworks in the District of Lake Country and District of West Kelowna must be approved in writing by the fire chief.

Violators of the rules could receive a fine and be charged the cost of the fire department response to a burning complaint.

Residents are encouraged to report any illegal burning by calling the regional fire dispatch centre at 250-469-8577.

Business drops with new road Richard Rolke A change in traffic patterns has been a dead-end for Oyama merchants.

No sooner was the new stretch of Highway 97 open Aug. 16 and customers visiting businesses along the old highway and Oyama Road evaporated.

“It (new highway) is almost like a freeway and it doesn’t go through town so people are driving right past,” said Owen Dickie, a Lake Country municipal councillor, adding that there was confusion about how to access Oyama.

“I had one orchardist say that one person drove to Kelowna (looking for him) and then came back and wound up in Vernon.”

Campfires are not allowed at any time within the City of Kelowna.

Under regional district and other local municipal bylaws, campfires must not create nuisance smoke and only untreated, seasoned firewood may be burned.

As well, a campfire must be continuously controlled and supervised by a competent person that has materials or equipment to extinguish the campfire.

The province and the regional district have announced that effective immediately, campfires will once again be allowed within most fire jurisdictions across the Central Okanagan.

In light of more seasonal temperatures, the lifting of the campfire ban coincides with a similar action by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations by the Kamloops Fire Centre within the Penticton Fire Zone, said CORD in a news release Monday.

Campfires will again be allowed within the District of West Kelowna, District of Lake Country, District of Peachland and

before the new stretch of highway opened.

On Aug. 17, the day after the route was unveiled, there were none.

There have been questions as to why the Ministry of Transportation didn’t immediately post attraction and direction signs once the new highway opened.

“There seems to be reluctance to recognize the community of Oyama,” said Dickie.

“I don’t think there is any malice involved, there just seems to be an oversight.”

While Oyama is part of Lake Country, Dickie says there has to be a recognition of Oyama’s century-old identity.

“Oyama has been an entity for a long time and businesses have been associated with Oyama a lot longer than the municipality has been around,” he

said.

The Ministry of Transportation says that it understands the importance of highway signage for residents and businesses in Lake Country.

“Signage has been discussed with municipal stakeholders throughout the project as the sign locations and wording is part of the detailed design,” says a ministry statement.

“Some of the final sign adjustments needed to happen after the new alignment was activated, otherwise the signs would be confusing for travellers.”

The ministry says installation of service and attraction signs started during the middle of last week and should have been completed by Saturday.

Welcome mat rolled out for new students Most people remember their first day at a post-secondary school.

Sometimes it’s exciting, sometimes it’s daunting.

Often it’s both.

That’s why staff, faculty, and student volunteers at UBC’s Okanagan campus go the extra mile to ensure that new incoming students not only experience a warm welcome as they begin their undergraduate journeys, but also feel they are not alone.

Campus life manager Liz Hilliard said it’s important for new students, and often their parents, to know they are among peers and have plenty of support networks.

“Attending university is a life-changing experience,” said Hilliard. “We want to make sure that all of our new-to-UBC students and their families are confident in the decision they have made, and that they feel welcome as soon as they step foot on

the Okanagan campus.”

Create New Student Orientation begins at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 3, and continues throughout the day.

During Create, newto-UBC students meet other first-year classmates and student leaders in their respective areas of study.

They can also participate in campus tours, meet the Dean of their faculty, see a showcase of UBC and Kelowna-based resources, and attend an evening concert on the campus Commons.

“Create is a great way for students to become comfortable with new people, get excited about their program, and discover the endless opportunities available to them,” says Create coordinator Alanna Ekkert.

UBC staff also organize Jump Start, from Aug. 25 to Aug. 30, and Kick Start, Aug. 28 to 31— week-long activities de-

signed for international and out-of-province (or out-of-region) students,

‘‘

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR NEW-TO-UBC STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE CONFIDENT IN THE DECISION THEY HAVE MADE, AND THAT THEY FEEL WELCOME AS SOON AS THEY STEP FOOT ON THE OKANAGAN CAMPUS. Liz Hilliard

respectively.

Participants experience a wide range of off-campus activities while they explore the

Okanagan, participate in preparatory workshops, and begin friendships that will last a lifetime.

“Kick Start provided me with a tremendous sense of belonging and the skills necessary for a successful university transition,” said Kelly Panchyshyn, Kick Start’s orientation coordinator and former program participant.

“I am incredibly excited to offer a similar experience to this year’s participants.”

For 18-year-old Chilliwack student David Pederson, knowing there are several resources and events like Create available to him will make his first move away from home just a little bit easier.

Pederson, who participated in a campus tour this summer, chose UBCs Okanagan campus because he likes the size of the campus, and recognizes it comes with high-calibre study and research

Scooter rider facing multiple charges

A 32-year-old man from Lake Country is charged with a dozen offences after a plainclothes officer pulled him over last week.

Marshall Hunter faces five counts of possession of stolen property; possessing a prohibited weapon without a licence; occupying a vehicle in which there was a firearm; two counts of theft; two counts of possessing a controlled substance; and a break and enter charge after he was found on a stolen scooter.

On Wednesday, Aug. 14, a member of the Kelowna RCMP Target Team spotted a scooter with uninsured plates heading into Millbridge Park off Gordon Drive, which he discovered had been stolen from a home in the 1200-block of Ethel Street.

“A search of the man revealed small quantities of various drugs, cash and a knife,” said Const. Kris Clark, Kelowna RCMP. The officer also discovered a Colt handgun stashed on the scooter, stolen from a residence on the 800-block of Kinnear Court a week prior.

The danger of making assumptions and stereotyping people

O

ne sweltering afternoon, Joe was driving down a lonely country road when a tire went flat.

He looked in the trunk for his jack, but it wasn’t there.

Unhappily, he started trudging down the road towards a farm house several miles back, hoping to borrow a jack, and maybe get a lift back to his car.

As he walked, he muttered anxiously, “I hope

SOUL SEARCHING

Linda Horton they have a jack. But what if they won’t lend it to a stranger? I bet they won’t. Then what will I do?”

By the time he reached the house he had

worked himself into such a state that when the farmer came to the door he snarled, “You can keep your bloody jack—see if I care!”

This story brings home the danger of making assumptions.

Unexamined assumptions are a primary cause of human conflict.

Some are generalized stereotypes: “He is one of those people—he must be…” Others are projections of our past experien-

ces or insecurities: “She isn’t smiling; she must not approve of me.”

Sometimes assumptions are codified in narrow, culturally-shaped “religious” rules, although the great religious teachers were almost universally known for breaking out of stereotypes and culturally blinkered assumptions about others.

In my faith community, we have a relationship covenant that includes “most respectful interpret-

ation” (“MRI” for short).

It seems to be the hardest guideline to practice.

We habitually make assumptions about one another.

So it is a spiritual discipline to step back from our assumptions and to check them out.

We ask ourselves: “Is my idea of the way things are an observation of what is actually happening here and now, an interpretation from what I observe, or an

assumption that may not be valid given how little I know about this person or situation? Am I confusing this with past experiences? Has something triggered my own insecurities, fears of rejection, sense of being different, imperfect, unacceptable?

Or has this person simply had a bad day, and it has nothing to do with me?”

Approaching our interactions with an attitude of respectful curiosity means we can be more observant and fully present in this real situation.

Our human freedom lies in that space between reactive feelings and response—we have little freedom if we live our lives in a kneejerk fashion.

Spiritual traditions encourage us to look deeper, with a proactive commitment to compassion and acceptance of others.

They are meant to be liberating, not constricting. Cultural attitudes often put folks who are different into boxes with labels.

But Jesus of Nazareth and the Buddha, Muhammad and Mother Teresa, the Dalai Lama and Lao Tzi and so many other wise spiritual lead-

ers challenge us to get beyond boxes and fears about the “stranger.”

Jesus, according to tradition, claimed: “I was a stranger, and you took me in.” Such actions are the true measure of a religious person.

During the recent Gay Pride march, I thought about this difficult challenge of getting beyond boxes and assumptions— it is easy to make assumptions about people who are different.

My tradition has a saying: “We need not think alike to love alike.”

A friend that morning suggested it is also true that we need not “love alike” to think alike.

I have learned so much from those who think or love differently than I do.

It is a matter of justice and compassion that we work for inclusion and celebrate diversity.

It also means challenging our assumptions, deepening our humanity and enriching our lives with the wisdom many diverse voices bring into our communities.

Province doles out more grants

F

orest is planning a trip to Europe this fall.

This may not seem like a big deal to most of you, but when you understand where she came from, you will realize that Forest in now living a life that is way beyond her wildest dreams.

It was not that long ago that Forest was living a very constricted and extremely restricted existence.

She was suffering from chronic illness for more than 15 years and was losing hope she would ever be healthy again.

She suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome, chemical sensitivities and a host of food sensitivities.

She went to see countless specialists and doctors, who were all very well-meaning but unable to help her.

Her children couldn’t understand what happened to their healthy and fun-loving mom. Her friends tried to help but were left feeling helpless

EMOTIONAL RESCUE

Annie Hopper as they stood by and watched Forest’s health deteriorating.

As the illness progressed, she became more and more isolated.

Her friends and family could not visit her because of her illness restrictions and she rarely left her home.

On the odd occasion when she did leave home to go to a doctor’s appointment, she had to wear a respirator.

Life became a struggle for survival, which is not uncommon for people who suffer from a brain injuries associated with toxic trauma.

For Forest, it all started Sept 7, 1997 when she was exposed to a lot of toxic chemicals from renovations that were done at her workplace.

On the first day, when Forest returned to the newly renovated office, she and the rest of the staff at her workplace complained about the awful smell and most of them got headaches and fell ill.

On her third day of work, Forest was found lying unconscious outside of the building.

She was rushed to the hospital where they told her that she would quickly recover—comparing it to getting over the flu.

Forest tried to go back to work but was too ill to do so.

Life as she knew it was over.

She lived the next 15 years in a state of survival.

After enduring so much suffering and having been to countless doctors to no avail, Forest was sceptical that anything could help her.

However, she heard that some people were recovering through a neuroplasticity-based program that is focused on rewiring brain circuits responsible for protective and

survival mechanisms.

It made complete sense to Forest that her brain was not filtering sensory stimuli appropriately and that she was stuck in a fight or flight state.

So she decided to take a gamble and took the program.

To this day she will tell you it’s the best decision she made in her life.

Well, you can only imagine how happy Forest was when she started noticing a decrease in her symptoms and a change in her sensory perception – it almost seemed like a miracle.

And her recovery couldn’t have happened at a better time. Forest is now a very proud, happy and healthy grandmother

▼ OUR VIEW

Try volunteering; you might like

A

wise person once said,: Tme is like money, it isn’t how much you have, but what you do with what you have.

Certainly a commendable aspiration, considering how short life really is.

The realities of modern day life, however, seem to strip away at our precious time at an ever increasing rate, making it difficult to spend time wisely.

Faced with these tugs on personal time, it is remarkable and

noteworthy that many among us find the time to volunteer.

For that we are grateful.

Volunteers help build welcoming, supportive and rich communities.

Rich, not in the sense of wealth, but rather in terms of activities, events and services that serve to enrich the lives of everyone in the community.

In most communities, sports of any kind would not exist without the community members who volunteer their time to

coach.

Service organizations such as the Rotary Club or the Lions Club, to name a few, offer their time in service to the community, in addition to raising money for special community projects.

Then there is the Penticton Peach Festival, a five-day long festival featuring a diverse set of events from entertainment to sports, an Aboriginal Cultural Village, Seniors Day, a square-dancing festival, slopitch tournament and two parades.

All of this free of charge for the public to attend, all of it or- t ganized and run by volunteers, P from the medical tent and trash m removal up to the board of dir- c ectors. e Volunteers always say they f give their time to give back to p w the community.

Giving back to a community you care for is always time well C c spent. f Try it, you just might like it.

Hate letter writers often prefer to hide behind anonymity

P

eople who write anonymous letters have less guts than an intestinal parasite.

I’ve received some hostile letters.

But most of my critics have the courage to sign their names. I have nothing but scorn for those who write but then hide behind anonymity.

Particularly for the person who described herself as “One pissed-off mother” in a letter to Brenda Millson, grandmother of a 13-year-old autistic boy named Max. “You selfishly put your kid outside every day and let him be nothing but a nuisance and a problem to everyone else,” the woman wrote.

“When you feel your idiot kid needs

fresh air, take him to our park, you dope!

Crying babies, music, and even barking dogs are normal in a residential neighbourhood.

He is NOT!” (As a compulsive editor, I’ve deleted most of the 118 exclamation points the writer stuffed into 26 sentences.)

The writer continued: “Take whatever body parts are non-retarded and donate them to science…. Do the right thing and move or euthanize him!”

The anonymous writer writes

Max off: “No employer is going to hire him, no normal girl is going to marry/love him….

What good is he to anyone!”

To say that I’m ofJIM fended by such a letter TAYLOR is an understatement.

I believe that if you won’t put your name to it, you shouldn’t say it.

The Crown attorney’s office in Ontario says that the letter “falls below the threshold for a hate crime,” according to a CBC report.

The Crown attorney is wrong. The writer herself states, “I HATE people

LIFE AND FAITH

like you, who believe just because you have a special needs kid, you are entitled to special treatment!”

I take that attack personally. My wife and I had a special needs child; he died of an incurable genetic illness.

Our adopted grandson’s emotional disorder also qualifies him as special needs. Advocating euthanasia for any human who doesn’t fit “normal” strikes me as criminal incitement.

Saskatchewan farmer Robert Latimer served 10 years in jail for doing exactly what the letter writer recommended. He asphyxiated his daughter Tracy, who had spent all of her 13 years in constant pain. She couldn’t walk or talk, had recurring seizures,

repeated operations.

She was far worse off, by any measure, than Max. Would the writer be willing to serve Latimer’s sentence for him, for following her instructions?

I wonder how the Ontario Crown attorney would respond if the views expressed in her letter had been directed against blacks, Jews, gays, or women?

Try reworking a few sentences: • “Your ‘black’ kid scares the hell out of my normal children.”

• “A ‘woman’ is a hindrance to everySee Taylor A11

tival, said this year’s numbers overwhelmed him.

There was no shortage of politicians jumping on the GLBT & Q bandwagon.

Calling Pride Week a “celebration of diversity,” Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray read the 2013 Pride Week proclamation and told the crowd, there’s support at city hall for what you’re doing.

While I was listening to all the praises and absorbing the jubilant atmosphere, I was reflecting back to my first Gay Pride march experience.

As people gathered at Kerry Park, there was a somber feeling in the air, as rumours floated around the city that bikers and

rednecks were going to disrupt the march.

Kelowna was still a very conservative and largely homophobic city.

The media were keeping a low profile, and there wasn’t a politician from city hall to be seen anywhere.

We marched to the park holding up our post-

ers and weren’t beaten up.

(Then Vancouver-area NDP MP) Sven Robinson, the first Canadian politician to come out, joined the parade.

I walked with a group from the Unitarian Fellowship of Kelowna, who supports gender equality.

Despite the lack of support from the community, there was a festive, empowering feeling among the participants as we enjoyed food and entertainment in the park.

I was also invited to the first legal same sex marriage in Kelowna, which took place at the Unitarian Church.

There was a congratulatory letter sent from the

prime minister of the day.

(No, not Stephen Harper.)

As Turner told the crowd, we’re a family because we are connected by a struggle that has gone on for years for equality.

We just want to be treated like everybody else— equally.

Like I mentioned, we’ve come a long way, but there’s still more work to be done before a radically inclusive community is created.

I am already starting the next movement called the Fem-Man-ist movement.

Join the revolution.

Open letter to Ron Cannan, Kelowna-Lake Country MP: I write to you on the subject of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), a proposed “trade agreement” about which most Canadians know nothing because of the secrecy with which the negotiations have taken place.

I urge you to release information about this proposed agreement and facilitate a process whereby your constituents may have a chance to comment on it before it is too late.

The countries involved to date, led by the U.S., in-

clude Canada, Australia, Brunei, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam.

From what I do know, this agreement is a 12-country corporate rights deal that is entering its 19th round of negotiations.

This round began on Aug. 22 and continues to Aug. 31 in Brunei.

Although the proposed agreement is called a trade agreement, only two of the 26 chapters under negotiation have to do with trade.

The other 24 include how a government regu-

lates corporate activity, what Crown corporations can and cannot do, how long pharmaceutical patents or copyright terms should be, how the Internet is governed, the sharing of personal information across borders, banking and taxation rules and when a company or investor should be compensated when environmental or public health policies interfere with profits.

From information that has been leaked, it has been revealed that public health and access to medicines are threatened under this agreement.

The U.S. is using the

TPP to push for excessive patent protections that would guarantee making medication much more expensive and even inaccessible to the poorest countries involved in the negotiations.

Health advocates are saying that it is a matter of life or death that people say no to such changes.

The TPP would also threaten community-led public policy in that it would include an investor rights’ chapter and investor-state dispute process that would let companies sue governments in secret tribunals when public policies get in the way

of profits.

The policy could be legal, fair and indiscriminate and still face corporate lawsuits demanding hundreds of millions and sometimes billions of dollars in compensation.

In light of this, I feel that the public should be given an opportunity to give feed back and encourage you to facilitate such a process.

I await your reply.

Thank you.

Karen Abramsen, chairwoman Kelowna chapter, Council of Canadians

Pride celebration has come a long way

To the editor: While attending the recent Pride March in Kelowna, I noticed the carefree festive atmosphere, commercial element, and lots of media coverage.

This was in stark contrast to the very first Gay Pride march that I joined many years ago in this city.

I can’t remember the exact year, but it was before many of the younger participants present today were even born.

This year’s march to City Park had a you’vecome-a-long-way-baby feel to it.

Pet food maker Iams is bringing its canine cafe to Kelowna.

To spread what the company calls the “real love” between people and their pets, Iams is touring the country to give Canadian dogs a chance to experience a food truck just for them.

The first ever traveling food truck for dogs by Iams, called the SO GOOD! Doggie Cafe, will make up to 29 stops across Canada including here in Kelowna early next month.

Iams is inviting dog owners to visit the food truck for a chance to get access to special offers and to learn about what’s really in your dog’s bowl.

Owners and their dogs can get a picture of themselves at photo kiosk on site and try treats designed for the dogs.

To learn more about the Iams SO GOOD! Doggie Cafe, visit www.facebook.com/iams. It will be located at Walmart, 1555 Banks Rd. in Kelowna, on Sunday, Sept. 8 from noon to 6 p.m.

Car dealership moves into new quarters Barry Gerding EDITOR

Canem Auto Gallery has moved to a new location in Kelowna, crossing Highway 97 from its previous location on Leathead Road to the new business park on McCurdy Place.

Brian Matassa, sales manager for the used car dealership, said the new location features 15,000-square-feet of building space, which has allowed not only an expanded showroom and more amenities, but now an in-house vehicle service department for our customers.

“We had an established 10 year history at the (Leathead) location and an we are grateful to have established loyal clientele that has allowed us to build our business and expand,” explained Matassa.

“It is definitely a welcome opportunity for us to move to a new location that better services our clients.”

Matassa said the staff are excited by the new business park location, which includes two motorcycle dealerships along with new boat and recreational vehicle shops.

“It’s a perfect location for us…we like to call it the toys for boys park,” Matassa laughed.

“The building has a very visible presence to Highway 97 traffic which is important for us,” he said.

The business philosophy behind Canem Auto is two fold, we sell luxury vehicles at affordable prices and pride ourselves on a no pressure service-based client approach, this has been a successful model for us so far and our clients appreciate the approach.

“The relationship doesn’t end with us selling a car to our customer, it’s just beginning,” Matassa said.

Canem Auto started as a highend used car dealership in the Lower Mainland in 1998, founded by current

CANEM AUTO GALLERY has moved into a new 15,000-square-foot location in the business park on McCurdy Place, a building that affords it a larger showroom, more amenities and an in-house vehicle service department. owner Francois Fiset.

Fiset expanded the Canem dealership into Kelowna 10 years ago, a decision based not only for business reasons but to raise his family here in the Okanagan.

“It is a beautiful place I am glad to call home,” Fiset said.

Since its opening, the Kelowna dealership has evolved to the point that it made sense to make the Kelowna location the head office and sell off the business in Burnaby and the Lower Mainland.

Matassa said several factors can be cited as to why Kelowna has worked as a market for Canem.

Kelowna is a preferred vacation and residence area for those who work out of town, both in Alberta and northern B.C. “In addition to our local clients, we attract these buyers as well. Many of

these people are earning high disposable incomes and choose to purchase their vehicles locally with us.”

The luxury vehicles are a natural draw for many clients in our local economy. Most are two or three years off, still in excellent condition and attainable at depreciated prices.

As well, Matassa said Canem offers used car options for Kelowna residents who are not looking to invest a great deal of money up front, both through trade-ins and the vehicle sourcing program.

“There is kind of two separate economies in Kelowna—that way and we try to reach out to both,” said Matassa.

“We pride ourselves on developing relationships with our clients in order to give them the best purchasing experience possible.”

Canem specializes in a wide selec-

tion of luxury models such as BMW Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, Range Rover, Audi and Porsche.

Canem also has a good selection of other makes and models at any given time as well and services customers in primarily in Kelowna, but also the whole country.

“Our market is wide because of the kind of vehicles we carry,” Matassa said.

“We are a bit of a specialist in the used luxury market and some of our vehicles aren’t widely available, so people interested in that type of car will look beyond their own home and community to find them.”

The new Canem Auto Gallery is located at 884 McCurdy Place in Kelowna.

The car dealer will celebrate the official opening of its new location this Saturday, Aug. 31.

Supervising through grievances T

I

n unionized workplaces, the employer-employee relationship offers unique challenges to frontline supervisors.

Specifically, I am talking about issues of trust that arise out of the grievance process and ways that they can minimize negative after effects.

Let me first say that I am not a labour relations expert and that my perspective here is based on my knowledge of best practices in people management and my experience as a leadership coach.

A collective agreement represents a set of terms and conditions of employment that both the employees (represented by a union) and the employer agree to abide by in the workplace. It will also include steps for addressing any violation— actual or perceived— of those terms by either party.

Despite the effort that goes into negotiating agreements that are clear and straightforward, inevitably grey areas arise in their inter-

WORK LIFE

Laurie Mills pretation. Disagreement about what the collective agreement really says— or means—is not uncommon. The more interesting issue in my opinion is how well those differences in understanding are handled.

Let’s use the example of a small unionized organization where an employee challenges a certain administrative policy he/she perceives as being unfair. The first step is to approach his or her direct supervisor with the concern. The supervisor’s primary job at this stage is to listen and gather facts. They also have a responsibility to be fully informed about company policies so they can provide clarity to the employee if necessary.

too? How is he/she to maintain a neutral “messenger only” position in that conversation? On the one hand they need to uphold consistent management practices, and on the other they want to be assured that the policies supporting those practices are fair to employees.

Ideally that first meeting with the employee goes well and through respectful dialogue both parties gain a better understanding of each other’s position. That sets the stage for informal resolution.

One outcome might be that the employee simply didn’t understand the policy for whatever reason until the supervisor explained it further.

With further clarity it becomes a non-issue. Or, the policy in dispute gets brought forward to senior management who, after the scrutiny of seeing it practice, agree that it is unfair or unrealistic and the policy gets changed.

Either of those scenarios is desirable and the

Firefighting is not a job; it’s a burning passion!

That’s because you must be truly passionate about your job to risk your life every time the alarm sounds. When you are a firefighter, you never know if today will be your last. This uncertainty requires firefighters to be immensely courageous and able to confront fires and their many dangers.

And that’s exactly what firefighters did on September 11, 2001 in New York City. Without a thought for their own safety, these courageous souls did everything they could to save those trapped in the burning towers of the World Trade Center. Many of these firefighters survived and managed to save many other lives in the process. Unfortu-

nately, many firefighters perished within the twin towers, including every member of one New York City fire station.

They will always be remembered as heroes. In the hours and days that followed this tragedy, many of our own Canadian firefighters went to New York to lend a much needed hand.

We wish to pay tribute to our Canadian firefighters by emphasizing their vital contribution stressandwellnessclinic.com to society. They are everyday heroes who are always ready and willing to help in any situation.

The coming wave of new entrepreneurial partnerships

L

ast week I talked about a new community-based partnership between Scotiabank, Central Okanagan and the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society.

With some exciting innovative networks on the near horizon, this week I talk about the new paradigm for progressive change that is upon us in the Okanagan—entrepreneurial partnerships as a prelude to a new atmosphere for an entrepreneurial culture.

Yes, it has been talked about, but, somehow, we just haven’t quite reached that pinnacle of achievement to celebrate we made it—until now.

There has been a considerable effort in trying to understand the psychological and sociological underpinnings that entrepreneurship does indeed possess.

Common characteristics have been noted among all entrepreneurs and most have a need for achievement, perceived locus of control, risk-taking and intuitive logical reasoning.

Chalk it up to the

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young roller-coaster ride we are experiencing in our Canadian and global economy, or perhaps, we, as a society, are finally, warming to the realization that, if we belief that, we are, by nature, an entrepreneurial landscape—then, let’s celebrate that recognition with action.

Actions that let each other, no matter if we are in business or not, embrace the notion that entrepreneurship is a mantra for our socio-economic future and we can nurture its development and growth, or not.

Let’s take a look at some thought in this regard. Partnerships often chart unknown territory.

Different forms of organizations with different internal structures, mandates, purposes, values and decision-making procedures may meet in a

common space, often for the first time.

When people of different backgrounds decide to work in partnership towards a shared objective, they need to identify and accept the necessary development of their communication skills in order to progress with attainment of the common goals.

I would like to describe a view, from a conceptual modelling, that point to the main phases of development in multi-stakeholder partnerships. In the first phase (start-up, if you like), it is going to be important to understand thoroughly the context for success, to build a group of supporting, relevant organizations, and to explore and exchange with potential partners, the purpose and vision without structure. (Oh, how I believe this point to be critically important—“You want to create what?”)

Once the new partners’ commitment is clear, it is crucial to move into the second phase (building the partnership) through a more formal-

ized dialogue, to clarify roles and structures and lay down agreements in project plans and memorandum of understanding.

(Sound familiar? I’ll bet it is to many of you.)

In the third phase (growing sustainably) attention will need to be given to a smooth implementation and the celebration of success. At this point, perhaps, it is important to establish some monitoring systems with transparency and solid communication to help the partnership/s grow towards stability. And, then, lastly, in the fourth phase—scale-up and replication. The key to success is to manage the transition from the initial model of partnership towards a larger more substantial entity.

This sometimes requires new partners, governance structures or even a change of management of the process. But, all in all, the entrepreneurial partnership creation can achieve untold community and regional gains, both personal and organizational.

I am excited by what I

knowledge of acceptable intervention practices. This training enables them to work quickly and efficiently. On the premises of a disaster or emergency site, Red Cross volunteers offer disaster victims the best possible care. In addition to providing blankets and emergency survival kits, they offer food and first aid while waiting From the organization’s for medical services to arrive. These central headquarters, volunteers are also frequently required where all initial calls are to provide counseling and support received, an emergency call is placed to the director of human services and financing.

He or she immediately contacts the volunteer who is on stand-by duty at the affected location.

As quickly as possible, a message is then sent to the intervention team leader who, in turn, transmits the emergency call to the members of his or her team. These teams of men and women, scattered all across Canada, are totally dedicated to their communities and ready to take action whenever it is needed.

services to victims and their families during times of need.

The Red Cross and all its wonderful volunteers are an important part of the Emergency Preparedness Canada program. Each year, these volunteers assist in thousands of disasters such as residential fires, floods and tornadoes.

Depending on the situation, Red Cross volunteers are always there to offer comfort, care and first aid services.

Lower speed limits, licenses for scooters Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

B.C. cities will debate proposals to cut the default speed limit on municipal streets to 40 kilometres per hour and to force licensing and regulation on users of motorized wheelchairs and scooters next month.

The two proposals are among transportation-related resolutions that will be on the floor at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver in late September.

The City of Victoria is behind the proposed cut in default speed limits from the current 50 km/h— if the lower 40 km/h default limit is adopted by the province, municipalities could still selectively designate specific roads for higher speeds.

The resolution asks for provincial aid installing new signs, including signs for roads where the speed limit would be different from the default 40 km/h.

The current default is dangerously high on some residential streets, argues Victoria Coun. Shellie Gudgeon.

“Even laneways can be 50 km/h if it’s not signed,” Gudgeon told Black Press. “It’s far too fast for neighbourhoods and families.”

Ian Tootill, of the motorist advocacy group SENSE BC, predicted drivers wouldn’t obey a 40 km/h limit and said there’s little evidence of low-speed fatalities or injuries that could be prevented with an even lower limit.

“The people who are driving this agenda are

the people who, underneath it all, are anti-car,” Tootill said. “A lot of these people don’t even drive.”

He said another example of bureaucratic overkill is the “laughable” proposal to regulate motorized wheelchairs and small mobility scooters.

Sidney council argues seniors drive them too fast on sidewalks without any regulation.

Their resolution to UBCM urges the province to regulate the use of motorized mobility aids, including wheelchairs and scooters, and require training, testing and licensing of operators.

There’s currently no registration, insurance or licence required to operate them in B.C. The province has indicated to UBCM it intends

to develop a coordinated plan for safe operation of motorized scooters, including possible amendments to the Motor Vehicle Act. The provincial coroner in 2008 issued recommendations supporting scooter regulation after several scooter-riding seniors died in crashes with vehicles.

The B.C. Coalition of People with Disabilities opposes the idea.

“These are mobility devices that people need to get out into the community,” said executive director Jane Dyson.

“Such a regulation would impede their independence.”

“People are generally pretty well-behaved,” he said. “Public policy gen-

erally should not be developed for exceptions,” he said.

White Rock deputy mayor Grant Meyer questioned the impact enforcing scooter regulations would have on the

city’s already busy bylaw staff. But White Rock Coun. Larry Robinson said he’s all for it.

“There has to be some type of regulation, including you to be approved or prescribed to use them.”

all is a great time to start a fitness routine.

It may be hard to believe but August is almost over.

With darker evenings, and dropping temperatures, it’s a sure sign that summer is almost gone and fall is just around the corner.

If your summer was anything like mine, it’s was full of fun in the sun and relaxing activities.

With the changing of the season comes a time to rethink and restart your health and fitness routine.

FITNESS FOR SENIORS

Bobbi Kittle cise. It is finally cool and comfortable enough to get out and there are many easy ways to get your fall exercise.

Here are some outdoor ideas for exercising in the fall Walking and hiking: Walking doesn’t cost you anything, and it is something you can do at anytime and anywhere.

• Try incorporating a walk at your lunchtime break.

• Park farther away in the parking lot.

• Take your dog for a walk.

• Meet your neighbours or friends for a stroll in the park.

• Check out new walking trails, hiking and nature paths in your city.

Gardening and picking fruit: From weeding, to raking and cleaning up your garden beds etc., gardening will give you a good workout as you work all of your major muscle groups.

Go to a u-pick orchard and between the walking around the orchard, climbing and reaching, you will get a good upper and lower body workout.

Lawn bowling, bocce and other outdoor games: Invite friends and neighbours for a picnic and games in the park.

Biking: Find safe biking trails and make it a family activity. Bike with the grandkids.

Turn your bike ride

into an outing for a day and carry along a picnic.

Volunteer work: Offer to gather and bag leaves for an elderly relative, friend or neighbour.

• Join in, or start up, a community clean-up campaign at the local park, sidewalks or streets.

• Organize or volunteer to join in on an autumn run to raise contributions for a local charity.

Perhaps your preference is not outdoor exercise?

Check out your local recreation or seniors’ center for activities and group fitness classes, including low-impact aerobics, carpet bowling, and warm water exercise programs.

As a certified personal trainer/instructor specializing in seniors fitness, I offer home and gym strength-training programs and personal

training; fibrofit water exercise classes (for those with arthritis, fibromyalgia and other inflammatory diseases) in a 90-degree heated, salt-water pool; outdoor boot camp classes; osteofit classes (a fall-prevention fitness program for those with osteoporosis and risk of falling) and nutritional coaching.

Don’t forget overall health and fitness includes exercise and healthy eating.

There is no shortage, as autumn offers a vast variety of healthy, colourful seasonal fruits and vegetables to enjoy.

Commit to be fit this fall.

A Gift in Memory Makes a Difference

of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen

‘Us and them’ positions hard to change Mills from A14 former is certainly the ideal resolution. Reality can be messier though.

The willingness to minimize conflict depends on the dynamics between employee and supervisor, as well as the union’s relationship with senior management. Once an “us vs. them” attitude sets in, it is hard to budge.

This kind of situation can really challenge a supervisor’s ability to deftly manage both the immediate response to the employee’s concern and the long term effects of how it is addressed by senior management. Remember we are talking here about administrative issues where the supervisor is at least one step removed from policy

making but still perceived as “management.”

While the collective agreement is intended to guide fair and equitable employment practices it is not without its flaws.

No one likes to go down the path of a formal grievance, but it happens all the time and sometimes is the best way to highlight where change is needed.

Being both a manage-

ment representative and an advocate for employees is a real balancing act. Regardless of whether a grievance is resolved satisfactorily or a flawed policy gets changed the supervisor still needs to work with the employee.

Moving forward without any lingering tension will be easier when the trust and respect between the two individuals is intact.

Sun on top at halfway mark Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

With new coach Shane Beatty at the helm, the Okanagan Sun hoped the on-field results would be considerably better in 2013.

Halfway through the new campaign, the B.C. Football Conference club couldn’t have asked for a much more dramatic turnaround.

In addition to sitting in top spot, the Sun has also recorded wins over the last two BCFC champs—the Vancouver Island Raiders and Langley Rams.

Although a little too close for comfort, the Sun held off the defending champion Rams (4-1) for a 29-28 victory Saturday night at the Apple Bowl to push their record to 4-1.

Pending the appeal of an overturned win earlier this season, the Sun could end up being a perfect 5-0.

“Obviously it feels

really good,” said Beatty.

“The kids are buying in, they’re understanding the team concept and I think the program is headed in the right direction. I’m proud of everybody for the work they’ve put in.”

On Saturday, three touchdown passes by Theo Deezar—two to Jesse Kendall and one to Zach Regert—helped spot the Sun to a seemingly insurmountable 29-0 third-quarter lead.

But a furious fourth-quarter rally and four touchdowns by the Rams’ offense made for a nail-biting conclusion.

When a 52-yard field goal field attempt

by Langley in the dying seconds fell short, so did the Rams’ comeback bid.

Despite the Sun’s second half swoon, Beatty was happy with both his club’s effort and the final result.

“Whether you win by 29 points or by one, the getting the W is all

CK 2 A B

that matters,” said Beatty.

“You knew Langley was going to get their points, they’re just too good of a team. If we’d have won 29-0, I think the guys maybe would have been a little overconfident from that. This way, we’re going to learn some things about what went wrong and work on those.”

Sun defensive back Robbie Yochim had another strong night, returning kicks and picking off two passes. The Rutland grad leads the BCFC with five interceptions.

As for the key to his young club’s success this season, Beatty said veteran leaders and newcomers alike have played vital roles.

“With a young group like we have, the learning curve was a big one and, to be honest, I’m surprised at how quickvly they’ve picked it up,” he said.

“We’ve had phenomenal leadership too from our 22-year-old guys, players

On-campus transition does not mean off-parenting With students heading to college and university campuses across the country, September is a time of year that leaves many parents feeling left behind. It’s not easy for the parents of first-year students to let go of the 24-7 role they’ve played for two decades. For parents of returning students, who fell back into the old, familiar groove during the summer break, they just endure the challenge of letting go all over again.

How will our child manage alone? Will he or she eat healthy meals, stay on top of their laundry, and will they fully prepare for exams while also making the right decisions in social situations that involve alcohol? Is it really possible to achieve all this without the help and advice of Mom or Dad? According to Judy Arnall, a parenting expert for the website, Labatt Family Talk About Drinking, and author of the bestselling book, Discipline Without Distress, the answer to all these questions is the same: When students transition to university or college, parents need to make a transition, too.

“Young adults are independent thinkers with their own set of values,” Arnall points out. “Parental inflluence depends on the strength of the relationship. It comes down to our ability to coach kids towards a healthy transition into adults, where they can set their own priorities and make their own decisions responsibly.” Here are a few tips to get the coaching dynamic rolling:

✔Connect by asking questions about work, university, opinions on movies, etc. ✔Practice good listening skills. Validate your young adult’s feelings by restating their messages for clarification and feedback, even if you don’t agree. ✔Guide students rather than instruct them.

trator is currently studying an appeal by the Sun to reverse a decision made earlier this month by the BCFC.

The league overturned the Sun’s season-opening victory over Chilliwack due to an ineligible player.

✔Encourage dialogue with open-ended questions that help young adults think through potential scenarios and consider the need for back-up plans. ✔Consult. Ask for permission to express your opinions or concerns. Leave the decisionmaking to your young adult, while letting them know you’re there if they need help.

SAVING STUDENTS $$$ SINCE 2005

Above all, avoid being judgmental, and positively acknowledge their feelings to keep them talking,” says Arnall. “Parents still have a huge influence long into their children’s adult years.

TIP:

Be open about money to ensure students learn how to stay money savvy with suggestions like: buying their books at off campus bookstores for economical pricing.

Depth, competition aplenty at camp Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

To say absolutely no job is secure heading into the club’s main training camp would be an unrealistic assessment of the Kelowna Rockets of 201314.

Still, with more than 50 players taking to the ice this week at Prospera Place, head coach Ryan Huska expects competition to be intense not only for open spots, but for some of those positions already occupied by returning players.

“If you look at our team and the spots that are available, it means you’re going to see a lot of competition for those throughout our camp,” said Huska. “But there’s going to be lot of internal competition, too. We have guys who are knocking on the door right now and we’ll see if they can move up and take spots away from some of the other guys who were here last year.

That’s the kind of competition you want at training camp.”

Other than the exit of the club’s three 20-yearold players from last season—Dylen McKinlay, Cody Fowlie and JT Barnett—the Rockets’ onice personnel losses will be few this season. Captain Colton Sissons, who is expected to turn pro, is unlikely to return from the camp of the Nashville Predators, while 20-yearold New Jersey draft pick Myles Bell may also find employment in the pro ranks.

After a record-setting 52-win regular season in 2012-13 and no fewer than 21 players returning, expectations are understandably high for the Rockets this season.

Still, regardless of his club’s past record and overall depth, Huska said 2013-14 begins with a clean slate.

“I think you have to move away from last year and start from scratch,” Huska said. “Our expectations are only those that we put on ourselves, not what everybody else thinks.

“The challenge for our players is that they can’t rest on what they’ve done, they need to continue pushing to get better.”

Several of the club’s 2013 draft picks, including centre Dillon Dube, will spend part of this

week at training camp before being returned to their respective minor programs across Western Canada.

‘‘

WE HAVE GUYS KNOCKING ON THE DOOR RIGHT NOW AND WE’LL SEE IF THEY CAN MOVE UP AND TAKE SPOTS…

In addition, nine Rockets will head to NHL training camps next week: Colton Sissons (Nashville), Myles Bell (N.J.) Damon Severson (N.J.), Ryan Olsen (Wpg), Tyrell Goulbourne (Phil), Madison Bowey (Wash), Mitchell Wheaton (Det), Jesse Lees (Bos) and Colton Heffley (Minn).

Rockets main training camp runs from Tuesday through Friday morning at Prospera Place, with practices and scrimmages held daily.

The Rockets kick off their exhibition schedule this Friday at Prospera hosting the Kamloops Blazers at 7:05 a.m.

MARISSA BAECKER/SHOOTTHEBREEZE

VETERAN forward Zach Franko and the Kelowna Rockets open their 2013 main training camp Tuesday at Prospera Place.

The West Kelowna Warriors have acquired 19-year-old goaltender Andy Desautels from the SJHL’s Flin Flon Bombers in exchange for future considerations.

Desautels played last season for the WHL’s Prince Albert Raiders.

“He’s a veteran goalie with a great reputation,” said Warriors head coach and GM Rylan Ferster.

The Warriors are coming off a pair of exhibition games with the Pentiction Vees this week.

This weekend, West Kelowna will take on the Vernon Vipers in a homeand-home set to close out the pre-season—Friday at Kal Tire Place and Saturday at Royal LePage.

Meanwhile, the Warriors announced that more than $6,000 was raised this year at the first annual Alumni Golf/Hockey Weekend presented by Tim Hortons.

Money raised is split amongst West Kelowna Minor Hockey, West Kelowna KidSport, and the new Warriors Alumni Fund. KidSport, which assists local youth play sports in our community, and West Kelowna Minor Hockey each receive $2686.41.

Among the veterans who are back is Jordan Salahor, the KIJHL’s regular season scoring champ in 2012-13.

Joining Salahor will be line mate Nick Josephs who transferred from Alberta last season and made an immediate impact by finishing second in team scoring.

The Chiefs beefed up their coaching staff with the addition of Jason Tansem in the off-season.

Left to mourn are his wife Jane of 48 years; children Gavin (Andrea), Troy (Mel), Leanne (Dean), his wonderful Grandkids who he adored, sister Sylvia (Bob), many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his Mom (Ella), Dad (Andy) and brother (Les).

John was born and raised in the Westbank/Peachland area and began his career in Kelowna, volunteering and living at the Kelowna Fire Dept for many years. He went on to further his career as an electrician serving the Okanagan area for decades. John was a good man who touched many people whether it was from his long time commitment to sports, his shop, woodworking or his family and friends. As much as he was our biggest fan and cheerleader, we were also his.

John made his TSN turning point and peacefully moved on to play his next game.

“We wish we could have just one more thing to say, but Dad, you went so Peacefully, we wouldn’t want to have it any other way” In lieu of flowers please share a moment with someone who means as much to you as John did to us.

Celebration of John’s life to follow at a later time.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Rhea Mullaney in Kelowna BC. Rhea spent the last few weeks, and more importantly, the last few days of her life surrounded by the love and touch of her daughters, her brother Paddy and a few very close friends.

Rhea will be lovingly missed by her daughters, Laree (Warren) and their daughters Kyra and Peyton; and Roni and her son Caylan, and daughters Shayli and Kinzie; Her brothers Paddy (Sharon) and Jack (Donna); and numerous relatives and friends. She was predeceased by former husband and friend Ron Magnusson, and her parents, Ray and Velda Mullaney.

Rhea was extremely kind and giving and those that met her immediately knew they had met a friend. She always had a loving and caring soul that touched everyone she knew. Rhea will proudly spend the rest of her eternity next to her parents in her hometown of Birch River, Manitoba. We may have lost our friend, mother, sister and grandmother, but we have gained an amazing angel in Heaven.

As requested, we will hold a Memorial Tea in celebration of Rhea’s life on Friday Aug 30, 2013. Village at Mill Creek, 1450 Sutherland Ave. Kelowna BC. In lieu of flowers donations in Rhea’s memory may be made to British Columbia Lung Association, 2675 Oak Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6H 2K2 or by Phone: 1.800.665.LUNG (5864) Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.everdenrust.com 250-860-6440

ADULT GERMAN SHEPHERD X NEUTERED MALE

egister now for:

Captain came to us as a stray. We have learned that he has some basic commmands, he loves people (he is a leaner), has very good walking skills & looks for positive reinforcement.

He enjoys running and the freedom of open spaces. It would be a benefit if his new owner was experienced with the breed or has done extensive research on their traits. Captain is not suited to a home with cats or children, so if you can provide him with an ADULT ONLY environment, come down & meet him.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen lunches anyone?

The one good thing about starting back to school in September is that there’s a huge variety of fresh, local fruit and vegetables available at this time of year with which to fill lunch boxes.

The great thing about all the cherries, plums, apricots, peaches, pears, apples and grapes available locally right now is they’re all finger foods that are terrific and simple to pack in a lunch bag.

That’s also true of all the carrots, radishes, celery, tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet peppers, beans, cauliflower and broccoli that are around right now and are delicious raw. You could make up a simple dip from a spoonful of cream cheese or yogurt with a drizzle of salad dressing if that will help your youngsters enjoy their vegies.

Or, you can create little salads with lettuce, spinach or other fresh greens, topped with crunchy bits of some of those vegies and perhaps some chunks of fruit as well. A dressing's not even needed. It’s good without. Add a topping of nuts or seeds for a little extra crunch and nutrition.

For a sweet snack, treat them to a home made fruit and grain bar that you’ve packed with good-for-you stuff instead of buying the overly-sweet, underly-nutritious bars from the grocery store.

We had a great time at this year’s fifth Okanagan Feast of Fields at Little Church Organics in Kelowna last week.

The flat field there beside the cherry orchard was terrific and the layout generous, so no guests felt crowded as has been the case in some previous years. After our morning volunteering to set up tables and chairs, cover hay bales, put up signs, carry water and ice and lay out the wineglasses and linen napkins, we were free to eat and drink, enjoying the hard work and ingenuity of some of the best farmers, chefs, winemakers, distillers and brewers in the valley.

It was difficult to decide what was my favourite, but certainly among those in the running was Bonfire chef Grant deMontreuill’s rabbit terrine, RauDZ chef Rod Butters’ cherry and pork canape topped with an outrageous puffed piece of pork rind, Delta Grand chef Stu Klassen’s stone fruit lolly, Grapevine chef Willi Franz’s chicken wrap, the scrumptious grilled beef from Old Vines’ chef Roger Sleiman, Codfather’s lime-cured salmon, and Mission Hill chef Matt Batey’s raspberries and mint with goat cheese, not to mention Poppadoms’ Aloo Chaat and for dessert: Sandrine’s crisp and rich chocolate-filled Danish.

Banana Bars with Chocolate

I’m not a big fan of the flavour of bananas, but I’m such a sucker for chocolate that I actually quite enjoy these. Bananas are not locally-grown, but they are available yearround now.

Despite the fact they are among the highest-sugar fruits around, they are a good source of potassium, as are blackberries, cantaloup, papaya, avocado, mango, dates, figs, prunes and raisins. They’re also a good source of vitamin B6.

1/2 c. (125 ml) butter 3/4 c. (175 ml) brown sugar 1 c. (250 ml) mashed banana 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) vanilla 1 c. (250 ml) flour 3/4 c. (175 ml) whole wheat flour

1/2 tsp. (2 ml) baking soda 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) salt 3/4 c. (175 ml) chocolate chips 3/4 c. (175 ml) chopped nuts Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch pan.

Cream softened butter with sugar and beat in the mashed banana and vanilla.

Ad dry ingredients and mix well.

Stir in the chocolate chips and spread in pan. Mixture should be quite stiff.

Chop nuts such as almonds or pecans and sprinkle on top of the batter.

Bake for about 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.

Cool in the pan and cut into bars.

These are moist and keep fairly well.

JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS

Dianne's Chunky Cheese Muffin Bread This makes an open-textured, moist loaf that’s terrific with soups, salads, or as toast.

It loves to go to school. It’s much quicker to make than yeast bread, but has a coarser texture.

I make it in two small loaf pans and freeze one for later. They cook in a little less time. You could also use a full-fat yogurt in this, or even sour cream.

1-2 tbsp. (15-30 ml) jalapeno pepper 2 c. (500 ml) white flour 1 c. (250 ml) whole wheat flour 1 tbsp. (15 ml) baking powder 1 tsp. (5 ml) salt 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) cayenne pepper 1/8 tsp. (.5 ml) black pepper 4 oz. (113 g) well-aged cheddar 1 egg

1 1/4 c. (310 ml) milk 3/4 c. (175 ml) plain, fat-free yogurt 3 tbsp. (45 ml) butter, melted Mince jalapeno pepper, using an amount that’s to your taste.

Combine with dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Cube cheddar and mix in.

Beat egg in a medium-sized bowl and stir in remaining wet ingredients.

Lightly spray a loaf pan with oil and preheat oven to 350 F. Combine wet ingredients with dry, using a minimum number of strokes.

Scrape into prepared loaf pan or divide between two smaller ones and bake for about 40 to 50 minutes.

Cool before slicing.

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
