Dry lightning concerns Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
WADE PATERSON/CAPITAL NEWS
LARGE crowds gathered along the Waterfront Park boardwalk and Okanagan Lake beaches to watch the Canadian Airforce Snowbirds aerial team in flight Wednesday across the Central Okanagan skyline.
Snowbirds weave aerial acrobatics Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Kelowna’s downtown shores were a hub of activity Wednesday, as area residents and tourists alike sought the best spot to watch one of this country’s most beloved performances. The Canadian Airforce’s iconic Snowbirds took flight over Okanagan Lake for the first time since 2012, wow-
ing the crowds with signature manoeuvres at speeds of up to 400 knots only a metre from each other. The synchronized loops and roles that make the performance so appealing require an inordinate amount of talent and nerves under the most mundane circumstances. And local geography calls for even more skill, said Capt. Thomas Edelson. “There are a lot of unique things about Ke-
lowna,” he said. “Besides the fact it’s an awesome place to come in the summer…the number of locations we fly over water is five or less.” Looping around above the lake means fewer reference points for the pilots to keep on target. “It’s also very warm here and it’s a little higher up,” he said. “The jet has a little less performance because the air is a bit thinner, so you need to antici-

pate where you will need power to stay in the formation.” There’s also a bit of a speed bump as the air changes in the space where land meets water, below. Lastly, the hills around the lake create a few more challenges. “You can’t fly straight and level when you come out of the maneuvers,” he said, referring to the space as a “compressed show
box.” Despite those challenges, the Snowbird team pulled off their Okanagan showcase without a hitch. “We’re excited to come back to Kelowna,”
he said. “We have a great time in the Okanagan, and we’re going to have a day off (today) to enjoy it.” kmichaels @kelownacapnews.com
Firefighters are hunkering down to wait for the fallout from a potentially problematic weather system expected to roll through the Central Okanagan in the next two days. “There is going to be dry lightening in the Okanagan today (Thursday) and tomorrow (Friday),” said Kelsey Winter, a fire information officer with the B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources. Dry lightning, combined with low relative humidity and high temperatures is creating a “dangerous” set of conditions, she said. The great hope is that there will be rain by the weekend, and that people stay aware of the tinder dry conditions in area forests, and behave accordingly. The latter, however, may be a tall order to fill, given recent news. “This week there have been 11 new fires—that’s just from Monday to Wednesday,” she said. “All of the fires have been small in size, and they’ve all been caused by humans.” A campfire ban continues to be in place throughout the Central Okanagan.

▼ SEARCH AND RESCUE
Missing hiker surprised by greeting from COSAR searchers Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
A Kelowna man who decided to take a wilderness mini-break with his dog in an attempt to clear his head,was startled Wednesday morning by some surprise visitors. On his way home, he was greet-
ed by Search and Rescue crews who’d been looking for him since the previous night. “Basically we had a male who decided to go for a walk because he had a bad day, and thought he’d spend the night outdoors,” said Duane Tresnich, vice-president of the Central Okanagan Search and Rescue.
There was some miscommunication between the man and his family, said Tresnich, and they called in search crews late Tuesday night when he never showed up. The man, apparently, thought he’d told them he was going for a camp out. “He was a little surprised this morning when we arrived,” said Tresnich.
“We sent an ATV up the trail and he was walking down one of the ski runs when we found him.” There may have been little cause for COSAR members to be on the mountain, but Tresnich doesn’t begrudge the call. “This is way better than anything we could ask for,” he said, noting that
the service is free and should be used as necessary. “Just make sure to let your family know what you’re doing when you go out.” To date, COSAR has been called out 30 times since January. Their usual yearly average falls somewhere in the area of 29 to 35 calls, so they’re posed to break records.

New shoe bank focuses on locals in need Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
The Kelowna Community Food Bank has done an admirable job filling hungry bellies since the early 1980s. Now its clients will be able to save a few extra dollars on footwear as well. The Kelowna Sunrise Rotary Shoe Bank is a partnership between the Kelowna Community Food Bank and Soles4Souls Canada. Jim Belshaw, chair of Soles4Souls Canada and owner of Roy’s Shoes in downtown Kelowna, said the shoe bank fits nicely with Soles4Souls’ vision of helping locals in need. “This is something I’ve been trying to do for four years,” said Belshaw. “I thought I’d arrange it out of the warehouse we’re working out of, but
the warehouse isn’t big enough. This is even more perfect.” The shoe bank, located at 1264 Ellis St., will be open Mondays and Thursdays starting Aug. 7 from approximately 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.; although, those times could vary slightly. Belshaw said he regularly gets phone calls from local agencies that know someone in need of a specific pair of shoes. Previously, Belshaw would travel to the warehouse and dig through boxes of shoes to find the desired pair. Now, even on days the shoe bank is closed, Belshaw will have an easier time finding the footwear in the organized shoe bank. “It’s going to make things a lot easier for me and the volunteers— and the agencies to help out their clients,” said
WADE PATERSON/CAPITAL NEWS
PART OF the team that has made the Kelowna Sunrise Rotary Shoe Bank possible are (from left) Fraser Campbell, chairperson on the
Kelowna Community Food Bank’s board of directors, Donna Mayer, shoe bank coordinator, Jim Belshaw, chair of Soles4Souls Canada and Steve Goddard, member of Soles4Souls Canada’s board of director.
Belshaw. David Purdon, associate executive director of the Kelowna Community Food Bank, said the new resource will be very beneficial to users of the food bank. “It’s pretty obvious
that low-income households struggle with everything from food, the cost of living, clothing—all of those things,” said Purdon. “We’re just really delighted to have the shoe bank and the food bank
together.” Belshaw figures work boots will be one of the most popular items at the shoe bank; therefore, anyone who has extras lying around are encouraged to bring them to Roy’s Shoes, the shoe bank or
Tom Harris Mobility at 2447 Hwy 97 N. Members of Kelowna Sunrise Rotary, Telus Community Ambassadors and various residents have signed up to volunteer at the shoe bank, but Belshaw said more volun-
teers are needed. “We would like to be open more than just two, four-hour shifts (per week).” Those interested in volunteering can call Belshaw at Roy’s Shoes, 250-763-5696.

The Kelowna car dealership has donated a safe and sound and then followed up the next day with calls to make sure she was OK,” he said. “The other girl we immediately took to the hospital.” Both he said, were completely vacant, out of control and vulnerable. And, today, they’re both safe. “We try our best,” he said. Nesbitt is always looking for new dads to help out in the effort. There are 17 who have been vetted and placed on his on-call list, but only around six are regulars. “It’s a hard sell to get
someone to stay up on a Friday and Saturday night,” he said. “You’re tired from work, and you just want to sleep.” And there’s always the guff they get from commercial enterprises. Those concerns are easy enough to assuage, though. “We just point out that this is volunteer,” he said. And, on the bright side, there’s been a tremendous amount of community support. Source Graphics recently donated 50,000 business cards that they’ll use to get the message out. And, Orchard Ford
donates a car filled with gas to use every weekend. “They’ve been so generous,” he said. As the busiest weekends in the summer get started, however, Nesbitt knows their services will be well used. He’s always looking for more dads to help out, and said one quality will really come in handy. “You need to be the type of dad who’s willing to think about everyone else’s kids, too,” he said.

And for that reason alone it’s not surprising that it’s been a hit. “It’s almost gone viral with the kids talking about it and giving cards out for it; they promote it themselves,” Nesbitt said, noting that the service ensures that both the drinker and their car make it home safely. “We’re driving 10 sets of people home every night…so 20 sets of people on a weekend. At first people thought we were crazy.” It’s not always the most fun volunteer effort—imagine putting yourself in the line of drunk young people night after night.

Boost for minor baseball The Kelowna Minor Baseball Association will receive a $23,100 grant from the provincial com-
munity gaming program. “Baseball is the sport of summer, and our government is pleased to sup-
port another great season of minor baseball in Kelowna,” said Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson. “This grant will help coaches and staff members continue their great work developing the baseball talent of tomorrow.” The grant is awarded under the sports category, which allows non-profit organizations to apply for provincial gaming revenues from the B.C. Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. In the 2012-13 fiscal year, the provincial government distributed a total of $135 million in gaming grants for eligible community programs and services. Organizations interested in applying for Community Gaming Grants can find full application information online at pssg.gov.bc.ca/gaming.

A West Kelowna man who narrowly avoided jail time after being convicted of numerous crimes related to owning a chop shop may soon see the end of his good luck. John Edward Newcome was arrested and charged with assault earlier this week after an incident in Peachland. He had been living under house arrest, and if convicted of this recent charge he may see that sentence get a bit stiffer. Newcome managed to skirt jail time earlier this year after pleading guilty to 19 charges, mostly involving possession of stolen property and trafficking in stolen property. He was handed an 18-month conditional sentence by Judge Vincent Hogan, who noted at the time
that the “public (would) be amazed at the outcome.” He was also fined $500 plus a $100 victim fine surcharge for possession of a controlled substance, and was given the same fine for breach of undertaking or recognizance. He must also pay Sovereign General Insurance Company $7,502, related to a 27-foot pontoon boat and boat trailer that was stolen in 2012. Newcome, who did not have a prior record, will be under house arrest for the first nine months of his conditional sentence; he will have a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew for the second half of the sentence. At no point during the conditional sentence will Newcome be allowed to possess drugs, alcohol or weapons. On Aug. 2, 2012, Mounties exe-
cuted a search warrant on Newcome’s Peachland residence and Cycle Logic on Julian Road in West Kelowna. In September 2012, Kelowna RCMP announced they had seized in excess of $750,000 worth of stolen goods at the end of a sixmonth investigation. Stolen items recovered through the investigation included a motorcycle, ATVs, pontoon boats, pickup trucks and trailers. District of West Kelowna council unanimously opted to cancel Cycle Logic’s business licence in March 2013. It was the first time the district had cancelled a business licence due to suspected criminal activity. As part of Newcome’s sentence, he must present any vehicle he wishes to buy or sell to the police for inspection before doing so.

Don’t let injury lawsuit against ICBC curtail your life I walk a fine line when giving ICBC claim advice in this public forum. On the one hand, there is important advice that absolutely must be shared to injured victims to avoid being taken advantage of by ICBC. On the other hand, by sharing deep, dark, “black arts” advice publicly I am sharing my confidential “battle plans” with “the enemy.” Approximately once a year, I pull out the really sinister tactics and strategies. This is it. Brace yourself. If you are the victim of a negligent driver hoping only for fair financial compensation for your injuries and losses, use this column is a reference and follow the tactics I am about to share to the letter. These tactics have broad application to every aspect of your life. They apply to the way you should deal with your doctor, employer, friend or family member. They apply every minute of every day, when you are deciding whether a particular physical activity should be attempted, how outwardly you should appear to enjoy a public activity
ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott and when to attempt a return to work. They have particular application to the possibility that ICBC surveillance is in place, recording your every move. When I share this important advice to those coming to me directly for advice, they often react with a huge sigh of relief. Everyone around them seems to be an expert about how to handle an ICBC claim. All manner of advice is given, much of it contradictory. My “black arts” advice erases all uncertainty because it is so easy to follow. I should give you a web address and require you to pay me for a password to unlock the benefits of almost two decades of experience handling personal injury cases. Why would anyone pay me for my advice if I give it so freely? I could also make sure representatives of ICBC didn’t get access to learn
my moves. Here it comes: “Live your life.” Live it as fully as you possibly can. Smile, dance, and relish every pleasure you are able to squeeze out of what might well be a very painful, physically disabling injury condition. It might be impossible, initially, to return to some of your activities. Heck, it might be impossible to do anything more than move from your bed to the bathroom and back to your bed, perhaps with help. There might be a period of time when returning to work is simply not possible. Share the optimism of your doctor and others on your treatment team. At least some healing will occur. Always be “chomping at the bit” to get back to whatever your pre-crash normal was as quickly as possible. Err always on the side of making attempts to return to your pre-crash functioning, holding back only as you might be told to by your treatment team. Never go to your doctor asking for another two weeks off work. No, go to your doctor asking for his or her permission to please give a return to work a try, per-
haps on a graduated basis if working an eight-hour day is out of the question. If you are given that permission and give it your best try but your symptoms flare up to an intolerable level and you are set back in your recovery then your treatment team will pull you back. Go to that wedding, go on that trip, go on that holiday that you had planned. Be as functional as you can and enjoy it as much as possible. Smile broadly for photographs. Yes, ICBC might be following you around with a video camera. Yes, ICBC might be able to get hold of your photographs and try to use them against you to say “see, she doesn’t appear to be injured in that posed, wedding picture.”. Wipe those concerns from your mind. Live your life to the fullest. If you don’t, you will be victimized a second time—first by the negligent driver who hurt you and second by “the claim system” that you are fearful might take advantage of you. How could this advice, which sounds like its coming from an insurance company, possibly be good legal advice?
New exhibit planned for Eco Culture Centre Using local natural materials, Alberta artist Troy Nickle is creating an art installation at the Eco Culture Centre located within the Woodhaven Nature Conservancy. The outdoor exhibit will complement his current show called Process, Place and Perception at the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art, located in inside the Rotary
Centre for the Arts in downtown Kelowna, 421 Cawston Ave. Nickle is an interdisciplinary artist based in Lethbridge, who creates works that address nature, culture, place and temporality. Nickle’s works elicit images of natural settings. In one Alternator Gallery component, a selection of dried plants horizontally emerges
from the wall to provide a bird’seye view of the world. Another contribution is a mural, made with mud and soil, illustrating the Okanagan landscape. The nature conservancy exhibit is expected to be completed this summer. The nature conservancy is located at 969 Raymer Rd. in the Mission.

t sure is easy to tell what plants are resistant to dry conditions and ones that are not by observing properties that have been abandoned for awhile. The first thing to go, of course, is the lawn with its shallow root system. Almost coinciding with this is the demise of several herbaceous border plants including Ligularia, Astilbe and Delphinium. After a few weeks of no water, you will see several shrubs wilting including Azaleas and Rhododendrons. While some of these can recover if caught in time, the one plant that is finished once it turns the drought corner is the cedar. There is no wonder we are gradually turning away from our beloved cedar hedges, instead planting more drought tolerant species. Once a cedar has begun to show signs of lack of water, it is often impossible to turn it

fine after a property has been vacated and there is no irrigation for a time. Some plants that one would think need lots of moisture are doing just fine such as the Hibiscus syriacus or Rose Of Sharon. The tropical Hibiscus rosa sinensis, which we enjoy as a house plant, tends to need lots of water. So I’ve always thought the same would go for the hardy one we plant in the garden. But I have noticed them this year in several vacant properties still thriving despite the lack of water. I also keep an inquisitive eye on a Japanese tree peony doing quite well where it gets very little water other than rain. Of course there are the usual plants we recognize that do without water— junipers, several species of pine, Sunburst locusts, Barberry and many others. So if you want to discover first-hand which plants will do without very much water, I suggest you take a few Sunday drives and look for properties which have been neglected for a

A BAN on getting loyalty reward points on prescription drug purchases has been struck down in court after a challenge by Canada Safeway and Thrifty Foods.
Pharmacy rewards ban struck down in court Jeff Nagel CONTRIBUTOR
A ban on issuing loyalty reward points and other incentives on prescription drug purchases has been struck down in B.C. Supreme Court. It’s a victory for major grocery store chains that filed the court challenge as well as point-collecting shoppers and a defeat for the College of Pharmacists of B.C., which imposed the ban. The college had argued loyalty points are a powerful lure that can alter some shoppers’ buying habits and potentially harm their health.
It suggested some patients may go without their medicine until they can fill a prescription on a day when a loyalty point bonus is offered. College officials also argued insured patients who don’t pay out of pocket might keep refilling a prescription after they no longer need it just to collect more points and the unneeded drugs may be abused or diverted to the illegal drug trade. But Justice Christopher Hinkson’s ruling found the college’s bylaws blocking all incentives were “unreasonable” and too broad. “Their net effect is

harmful to the public interest in obtaining pharmacy services and prescriptions at the lowest price,” his ruling says. Hinkson said the claims of pharmacy college board directors defied common sense. “The concern that customers will overspend on their drug and device needs in order to collect the rewards offered is illogical,” he found. “The cost of the drugs or devices to customers will invariably exceed the value of the rewards offered.” The judge noted the ruling doesn’t stop the college from drafting a new bylaw to more reasonably address its concerns. The College of Pharmacists of B.C. said it has made no decisions on what steps it might take next. The court challenge was filed by companies that operate Canada Safeway and Thrifty Foods. The ban also lost in the court of public opinion—the college received 14,000 emails mostly opposing the ban.

Sleep: It’s not healthy to rob yourself of a good snooze W
henever I have a new patient come to my clinic I like to spend at least 45 minutes with them, if possible. I want to get an idea of what it is like to ‘live in their skin.’ Routinely, people will come in with headaches or back pain in search of a solution. Many are surprised at some of the questions I ask them: How much water do you drink? Who do you have to talk about your most personal questions? What hobbies do you have? How many meals a day do you eat? What positions do you sleep in? I believe talking with your patient is the most important part of determining if you can help them or not. I fondly remember a -surgeon that I conducted -my residency with, he said that 90 per cent of tyour patient’s diagnosis will come from your pae
ASK DR.THIEL
Markus Thiel tient’s mouth. If the doctor is doing all the talking, then he is not ‘listening.’ Invariably, one of the most important questions I ask is about sleep: How much sleep do you get a night? Do you wake frequently? Do you wake rested or telling yourself that you will go to bed early tonight? I am amazed at just how sleep deprived our society is. Many of my patients do not understand the vital importance to allowing proper time for rest and recovery. Sleep is that all important elixir of health. It is in that slumber state that our body repairs
itself and recovers from the days events. It keeps your immune system in line and allows us to make healthy, optimistic choices the following day. How much sleep is enough? There is no magic number. Children and young adults who are growing require more sleep than one who is elderly. This is because the little ones are in a growing state and need more rest. I personally do just fine on six hours a night. Any less, and my wife puts my suitcase on the steps. Any more than six and I feel lethargic the next day. Play with the time you sleep. Change it in increments of one hour at a time and do so for a period of three days prior to adding or removing an hour. I recommend a good number to start with is eight hours dedicated to sleep, not watching TV or
dosing in the tub. I often talk about something called sleep hygiene. This is the routine one follows before going to bed. For some it may include a hot bath with epsom salts, others it may include writing in a journal for 30 minute prior to retiring for the day. In any event it should be a time specifically set aside for you and your debriefing from the day. Simply put, just calm your mind. My father says that the hardest thing to do in the world is to relax, it takes no effort. Yet, only a few can do it. There are many good reasons as to why the sandman may be ignoring you. Some include unresolved issues that are personal to you, a bad mattress, a snoring partner, background sound, etc. Some major no-no’s to avoid are the follow-

ing—avoid over-stimulation; don’t drink caffeinated drinks after 2 p.m.; avoid alcohol prior to bed because it robs you of the most important phase of sleep recovery called the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) phase of sleep; don’t exercise too close to bed time. As well, I never watch the evening news because I find it too upsetting just prior to bed. Or don’t go over your finances or bills just prior to sleeping.
One of the most common causes of loss of sleep is that of some form of pain. When the pain is at a certain level, it becomes all consuming. It affects your energy, your immune system, your work and your relationships. If you are suffering from pain then ask for help and get it. Do not accept ‘you are going to have to live with it.’ Your sleep is vital to your health and well being. It is one of the most important things you can
do for yourself today. Ask yourself these three questions: Do you wake feeling rested? How much sleep do you get a night? Do you dream at night? I f you are not dreaming you may not be entering that all important REM phase of sleep. Allow time for your sleep. It is the most critical part of your healthy day.

Booze and boats don’t mix
W
ith the current temperatures blistering the Okanagan Valley, staying cool is important. However, the Canadian Safe Boating Council is reminding all boat owners that drinking and boating is illegal and unwise. According to safe boating council, about 40 per cent of all boating-related fatalities are alcohol-related. The CSBC, along with law
enforcement agencies across the country are using the August long weekend to remind all boaters, including sailboats, canoes and kayaks to raise awareness about boating and drinking with Operation Dry Water. In the second year of the campaign, Operation Dry Water aims to reduce the number of alcohol-related fatalities on Canadian waterways as well as provide a visible deterrent to
drinking and boating. Around Okanagan Lake, local boaters and visitors have plenty of opportunities to cool off without having to resort to alcohol. According to the Criminal Code of Canada, a boater can be charged with impaired operation of a vessel if their blood alcohol concentration exceeds the 0.08 threshold while operating a vessel. A first offence can see the
boater liable for a fine of $600. A second offence carries a 14-day prison sentence, and a third offence extends that to 90 days. With the number of vessels plying the waters of Okanagan Lake, especially during the tourist season, it is imperative that all vessel operators be alert to their surroundings. Be dry, and be safe.

Good customer service requires honest communication
C
harles MacPherson knows a thing or two about customer service. MacPherson has turned his experiences as a high-end hotel butler into being a best selling author, educator and TV personality on how retailers can provide exceptional service to their customers. Every business under the sun today says customer service is a number one priority, but MacPherson admits most fall short of understanding the definition of that term.
“I think at the end of the day, customer service is not hard, it just takes knowledge on how to communicate with a customer and make them feel at Barry ease,” said MacPherGerding son. “It’s about hospitality, you treat a customer no different than how you would treat someone coming into your own home. If the customer feels comfortable with that experience, they will come back.” MacPherson is in Kelowna this week for a seminar with employees at the Orchard Park Ford dealer-
EDITOR’S NOTE
ship about customer service. He has been retained by Ford to pass on some of his knowledge to the automaker’s dealerships across the country. A common refrain heard today is the growth of social media has made the art of communicating face to face with a retail customer a lost art. While MacPherson isn’t quick to blame technology for that, he admits customer service began to lose its appeal for retailers in the 1990s. “I don’t think that started happening because of technology, but technology isn’t exactly helping either.” MacPherson feels too many businesses today don’t comprehend what a competitive advantage offering
genuine customer service can be. “If it’s forced or not genuine, if your staff are just reacting to the corporate mandate that you must say ‘hello’ and ‘how is your day’ to customers, people see through that scripted scenario pretty fast. They are not stupid,” he said. “They figure out pretty quickly that if it makes them uncomfortable shopping in your store, they won’t come back.” MacPherson said his experience as a butler taught him that it’s all about making an emotional connection with people. “In working with Ford, for example, there are several options to look at in buying a car, but
what makes, in this case, Ford’s brand different will be the consumer experience. “If you feel value in the purchase, then the deal is not necessarily only about the price. If you don’t feel any value in the service or the product, then it becomes about the best deal I can find.” G MacPherson cites Mission Hill Family Estate Winery, a past client, f as an example of a business that real- s ly works hard to engage its custom- p ers and to provide bona fide customer service. “It’s about having a passion r

‘Indiscriminate destruction’ of war must end
To the editor: Imagine being under unrelenting bombing attacks and have nowhere safe to go. Schools, hospitals and even United Nations designated shelters are being bombed. This is what is hap-
pening to the people of Gaza for more than three weeks. At the time I write this letter, the death toll is over 1,200, mostly civilians, a third of which are children. If Hamas rocket attacks on Israel are wrong, the disproportionate re-
taliation is unacceptable. In the words of UN Secretary-General Ban KiMoon, Israel is “pummeling” Gazans with “indiscriminate destruction.” While this is happening, our leaders, mainly Stephen Harper and now Christy Clark, are af-
firming their faithful support for the State of Israel. I am appalled. On the streets around the world, hundreds of thousands of people, including Israelis, have marched in solidarity with Gazans. In Kelowna there were about 100

Clark’s pro-Israel stance is only to get votes To the editor: So, B.C. Premier Christy Clark is pro-Israel? She is not pro-peace, just pro-Israel. She is OK with the 1050+ deaths in Palestine—many of them children. Within the last few days, Israel just bombed the power

are no winners, only losers, in any conflict that results in death and unnecessary suffering. I understand that the majority of humans would disagree with me, otherwise the world would, by now, be practising peace instead of seeking brutality. People cannot deny this fact: that the recent troubles in eastern Ukraine and Palestine are the result of their support for these atrocities, otherwise they would be pres-
suring their leaders to bring an end to them. Mr. Bihun, humans could argue for eons about who is at fault on both sides of conflict, that is the main reason why wars are still a common practise among nations. The point is that humanity has gone through enough atrocities caused by wars, and now is the time to not point fingers at one another, but to find solutions to this human dilemma that has plagued humanity
for centuries. We should all be saying: “Enough is enough.” Our leaders are corrupt and out of touch with humanity, and they seek only to benefit their own kind; wars have always brought big business for corporations. They also are experts in creating situations that divide people because then they are easier to manage. I will always speak against those who support the murder of chil-
dren, simply because I do respect life with all my heart. It is truly sad that so-called civilized adults, and our political puppets are still in denial—believing that by supporting death for children now their actions will be creating democracy for the next generation. Monika Hudecova, Kelowna
Only blustering from our federal gov’t trampled over the promise, while Britain and the USA don’t have the stomach to do much more than bluster and threaten escalating economic sanctions. We have seen similar blustering from our own government: Unless something has happened in the past week,
the non-military aid and loans promised by our prime minister last March have yet to materialize in the Ukraine. Mr. Putin has betrayed Ukraine, and even Russia where, thanks to him, democracy is now dead. Curiously, instead of mourning the death the
Russian public is reported to be happy with their leader for demonstrating he could engineer the annexation of Ukraine’s eastern provinces. The editor’s note, beside Wence Horak’s letter (News Coverage By Local Media Criticized, July 29 Capital News), re-

Consultation sheds light on potential farmland changes Tom Fletcher CONTRIBUTOR
Since commercial production of wine or cider is allowed on farmland, why not a brewery, distillery or meadery? Should energy co-generation be allowed on farms, using manure or other biodegradable waste to produce methane gas and carbon dioxide? These are some of the questions included in the B.C. government’s con-
sultation on changes to Agricultural Land Reserve regulations, released this week. Others deal with controversial proposals to allow specified nonfarm uses, secondary residences and subdivisions without permission from the Agricultural Land Commission. Developed after consultation with the B.C. Agriculture Council, local governments and the commission, the 11 questions offer more detail on

changes the government is considering under legislation passed despite protests this spring. The legislation divided the ALR into two zones, to permit more flexibility in the Interior, Kootenay and North regions (Zone 2) where both agriculture revenue and development pressure are lower. One question asks whether farmland in all of Zone 2 should be able to be subdivided down to a minimum of a quarter section (65 hectares) without application to the ALC, as is now allowed in the Peace River and Northern Rockies Regional Districts in northeast B.C. Another proposal is to allow subdivision with-
out ALC approval where farmland is divided by a major waterway or highway, subject to a minimum size. The province is also considering relaxing lease rules, which currently permit leasing of an entire farm property without ALC approval. The consultation asks if a portion of property should be allowed for lease to permit “intergenerational transfer,” where farmers retire on a portion of their land so their children can continue to farm the rest. Another proposal for partial lease without ALC approval would allow unfarmed land to be brought into production.
BLACK PRESS FILES
THE B.C. government allows wine and cider making on farmland, and is seeking public input on whether distilleries or breweries should also be permitted. The partial leases would not require a formal subdivision. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has emphasized that changes to the ALR are designed to support farming, not erode the protected agricultural
land base. Public input is being accepted until Aug. 22. The questions and a background paper are available online at www. engage.gov.bc.ca/landreserve, where submissions can be made.

The Okanagan Military Museum will open a new exhibit in honour of WW1 called The Bugle Sounds. This Aug. 4 B.C. holiday weekend will mark the centennial of the start of Canada’s participation in the First World War. When Germany invaded neutral Belgium, on the way to capturing Paris, Britain stood firm on the principle of sovereignty of independent nations in the face of force. Because Canada was the senior Dominion within the British Empire, Canadians were compelled to show solidarity with the ‘mother country’ and answer her call to arms, along with other colonies and territories such as Australia and South Africa. Telegrams were sent to all militia units in Canada to enlist volunteers to increase their numbers to wartime status then send drafts of them to a central camp for pre-deployment training for

offs as men flocked to recruiters to enlist in the great adventure abroad. The military museum exhibit is open now and will be a great stop for your summer visitors as it will be available for viewing throughout the summer. The Okanagan Military Museum is open Tuesdays to Saturdays, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Kelowna Museums Society is a not for profit, charitable organization dedicated to the promotion of a greater interest and awareness of the military, agriculture, wine producing and cultural heritages of the Okanagan Region through collection, preservation, exhibition and interpretation. The main office of the Kelowna Museums Society is located at 470 Queensway Ave. and is open Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call 250-763-2417.

Whole picture on the apple scene

CONTRIBUTED
AN APPLE orchard photograph from the current Kelowna Art Gallery exhibit by
Vancouver-based artist and photographer Christos Dikeakos.
owadays when people in other parts of Canada think of the Okanagan Valley, they might imagine wine or golf. But only a few years ago, most people would have thought of—apples. Yet apple orcharding in the Okanagan is itself a fairly recent enterprise, and one that also relies completely on irrigation. Several years ago Vancouver-based artist Christos Dikeakos and his wife, Sophie, purchased an apple orchard in Naramata as a get away from the city. The artist’s subsequent explorations around the Okanagan and his thinking about fruit orcharding here have now been brought together in a solo show that drills into both the issues here and humanity’s long relationship with the apple. Dikeakos is a photographer with a national reputation, mostly for work that explores the complexity of urban life—and in the case of his Vancouver work, the First Nations’ histories that underlie the settlers’

Liz Wylie stories on the same land. He is an intense thinker who likes to dive wholeheartedly into and grapple with the topics that seize hold of him. There is a parallel to this presented in this solo exhibition, Nature Morte (a play on words with the French term for landscape, which would translate literally into English as dead nature), in which materials are available for the visitor to engage with issues and relationships. Two large binders on reading stands contain images, collages and quotations made or found by the artist for visitors to page through at will. Up on the walls, the first group of colour photographs one encounters in the show is pretty much about the beauty
of Okanagan apple orchards in all four seasons. At the far end of the room is a trio of large-format images of apples left on the branches in the snow, which is also very beautiful. In between is installed a group of dystopian images of strange-looking, deformed trees, for example, and donkeys being fed the apple culls. The centerpiece of the show is a 14-foot-high projection of a man looking down on a huge pile of dumped apples—the price of gas to take them to a juice plant is higher than the price he would receive for the apple crop. The artist has also included references to famous conceptual artists, homages to some of the masters of Dikeakos’ youth: a Donald-Judd-like wall arrangement made of old apple boxes (used in the orchards before being replaced by the large bins that are moved about with forklifts), two floor corner pieces (in homage to Robert Smithson), and a frieze at the top of the walls of apple names, which is a nod to artists who used
Volunteer mentorship opportunities Immigrant Services’ Settlement and Employment Mentorship Programs matches newcomers with volunteer mentors. The Settlement Mentorship Program assists newcomers to the Central Okanagan in adjusting to life in Canada, practicing their English, meeting new people and becoming engaged in our community. This is done by matching volunteer “mentors”
with newcomer “mentees”, who then connect on a regular basis and participate in various activities together. Similarly, in the Employment Mentorship Program, mentors will be matched with a newcomer mentee who is looking to work in the Mentor’s similar field of work. We are
currently actively looking for people who work in accounting, logistics, the pharmaceutical industry and the import/export business. Volunteers will benefit from meeting new people,
sharing experiences and knowledge of Canada with others. To find out how to get involved please contact Aimee, Settlement Mentorship coordinator at

CSLC 2014 COMING TO KELOWNA THIS SEPTEMBER Kicks off the conference Tuesday Sept. 23rd 7:30pm Public Welcome! BIOGRAPHY The Happiness is NOW (HIN) Tour is an energy-packed, interactive, live show utilizing the power of story, music, and dance to help students realize the true meaning of happiness. HIN challenges the youth to seek their passion, guide students in cultivating their own happiness, and helps them redefine true success. Danny V. Batimana is the CEO & founder of Happiness is NOW Inc., a 501©(3) nonprofit organization. This Filipino-American born social entrepreneur resides in Diamond Bar, California. After graduating from Diamond Bar High School, he became one of the hip-hop choreographers for the Los Angeles Lakers Girls, Portland Trailblazers, and Los Angeles Clipper Spirit respectively. At the same time he studied business management at Cal State University, Fullerton; his dual career in the arts and business began to flourish and led him to create Team Millennia, a competitive hip-hop dance team based out of Orange County. At the age of 25, Danny obtained his secondary teaching credential in business, mathematics, and dance at Cal State University, Fullerton. He taught mathematics and leadership for several years at West Covina high school and eventually developed the Regional Occupational Program (ROP) “professional dance” program at Western high school. While teaching, he was also the owner of the Team Millennia Dance Studio, director of Team Millennia (America’s Best Dance Crew season 2 & 3), TM Juniors, and TM Tots; while producing the Bridge Dance Competitions and Summer Intensive Dance Camps & Showcases. In 2010, he became the manager of the Poreotix (America’s Best Dance Crew Season 5 champions), traveling the world and gaining experiences, which would eventually lead to his desire to ‘change the world’ through social entrepreneurship and activism. In 2011, sparked by the Deepak Chopra Symposium 2011 and a 7-day retreat at the Deer Park Monastery, Danny embarked on his enlightenment. This journey would ignite his inner passion for creating positive change in the world, especially within the youth, thus creating the Happiness is NOW movement.

Infrastructure funding allocated
A
s part of the New Building Canada Plan, the renewed federal Gas Tax Fund (GTF) is an important avenue of funding to help municipalities build and revitalize their local public infrastructure, contributing to job creation and economic growth. On July 17, local MLA Norm Letnick, Lake Country Mayor James Baker, district director of community services Mark Koch, Union of British Columbia Municipalities president Rhona Martin and I attended a press conference to announce Lake Country would receive $250,000 in Gas Tax funds to support the district’s adoption of an Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP). In consultation with local residents, the newly adopted ICSP sets a direction for Lake Country to become a healthy, sustainable community that attracts and retains residents, businesses and visitors and will influence future infrastructure investment, zoning, economic development and environmental protection within the district. Since 2006, Lake Country has received $7,387,891 under the federal Gas Tax Fund. The federal GTF program was originally designed to provide municipalities with $5 billion in predictable funding over five years. However, the federal government has made significant improvements to the GTF. It has been extended, doubled from $1 billion to $2 billion annually, and legislated as a permanent source of federal infrastructure funding for municipalities. As announced in Economic Action Plan 2013, the renewed federal GTF is being indexed at two per cent per year, which means that it will grow by $1.8 billion over the next decade. And as of April 1, 2014, communities will be able to use the re-

Medical marijuana grow op receives temporary permit Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
A building on Paradise Valley Drive in the Trepanier area near the Okanagan Connector is one step closer to legally producing medical marijuana. The Regional District of the Central Okanagan gave conditional approval for a temporary use permit for the proposed facility at its board meeting Monday. Bruce Smith, communications and intergovernmental affairs officer with the regional district, said the applicant will have to meet several conditions before the facility can begin producing medical marijuana, such as: Obtaining a licence from Health Canada, completing a wildfire risk assessment report and addressing how it will impact water in the area. The property owner has applied for a federal licence to produce medical marijuana from a building, which is currently being retrofitted on a four-hectare parcel. The applicant requested the temporary use permit in order to seek subdivision consolidation with two adjacent properties. That would meet the eight-hectare
minimum parcel size required by the regional district for medical marijuana production. If the properties are consolidated into one parcel, a variance must still be approved by the regional district for building setback requirements. “If they were to get the licence and meet the other conditions, then the temporary use permit would allow them to operate the facility,” said Smith. “Whether they get the licence or not, in the end, is up to Health Canada.” Smith said this is the first medical marijuana production application to be considered by the regional board. “We understand there are five potential licences out there that are in various stages of process,” said Smith. The regional district submitted the proposal to Peachland council for consideration earlier this month. Peachland councillors were not in favour of the temporary use permit.

to build some spectacular houses on many of our larger view lots,” he said. The attraction of the Mission generally as a place to live within Kelowna remains high, Graf says, aided by the opening of a new elementary school in recent years, the promise of a new middle school at some point in the future, and the development of a shopping centre in the neighbouring Ponds development. “While the shopping centre isn’t directly in our neighbourhood, I think everyone in the Upper Mission will migrate to taking advantage of that. As the area has grown in population over the last decade, the need for more commercial services and the demand for it has probably increased,” he acknowledged. The outdoor surroundings for residents are enhanced by the reminder of the smoke emanating from West Kelowna this week due to the Smith Creek Fire, Graf says, something all Upper Mission area residents are very familiar with. The 2003 Okanagan Mountain Park fire’s destructive path blew through Kettle Valley as it carved a path across the Upper Mission, minimizing the chances of repeating that catastrophe, which destroyed 238 homes, from happening again for the immediate future. Generally, Graf feels the Mission still has a

The Creeks in the Mission is one development at the south end of the Upper Mission which is now bringing new lots on the market. Located off Mountainside Drive in the Kettle Valley area, phase 2 of The Creeks has 20 new lots now available for sale, with phase 3 to open up a further 20 lots next spring. Phase 1 saw 15 lots sold with most of them now being built out. Daryl Graf, sales consultant for The Creeks in the Mission, says the growing neighbourhood is designed to highlight the natural beauty of the immediate surroundings, which includes two creeks and an abundance of parks, trails and greenspace. And, Graf adds, the view
vistas overlooking Okanagan Lake and Kelowna from many of the lots is unparalleled in the city. “There are some outstanding unobstructed views from many of these lots,” he said. “It’s not a situation of looking over someone else’s roof top.” The lots range in price from $235,000 up to $399,000, and vary in depth and length to offer building options for buyers, from those who want a smaller home to those who want features like extended garages and a swimming pool. “If someone wants a threecar garage, on our larger lots they will be able to do so without having to turn the house sideways to accommodate that,” he said. Graf says The Creeks is about creating lot opportunities for buyers to create their own template for a home design, unlike other subdivisions where the developers put strict design and builder choice options on the houses to create a look of continuity. “There is an opportunity

Of Prime Interest: It may be time Keeping a watchful eye to give your mortgage an analysis on Smith Creek fire area When was the last time you really thought about your mortgage? If it’s been a while, now is a good time to check up on how faithful your mortgage financing has been to you. Are you about halfway into your mortgage term? It’s a good time to think ahead. There has been talk of rate increases for a while and we are not expecting rates to go any lower. Now may be the time to break your term early for one reason or another. Look at your options sooner rather than later. You may be looking at refinancing to access some of your home equity, consolidate debts, or if you are payment-sensitive and just can’t afford a payment increase due to rising rates, it’s a good time to explore your options. It could very well make sense to make a change now versus waiting for your renewal date when the rates could be significantly higher. Fixed rate mortgage

‘‘
’’
Are you simply ready to move up? Most mortgages are portable, which means you can take the rate and terms of your mortgage with you to your new home. Is that your best option or is a new mortgage with a new rate and terms a better option? The ideas above will lead to questions with regards to possible payout penalties. Will a change actually benefit you at this time? A quick analysis from a mortgage professional will provide you with an amortization scenario taking into consideration potential payout penalties to break your term and determine if it is a financially sound idea to move forward with an adjustment to your mortgage. Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of mortgage professionals Trish Balaberde, 250-470-8324; Kristin Rosdal, 250-878-3007; and Christine Hawkins, 250826-2001.
A post-wildfire assessment of the Smith Creek fire above West Kelowna, by the BC Forest Service and the Emergency Operations Centre, was completed last week and results indicate there is a low risk of erosion or debris flows from the burned out area. Erosion and debris flows can occur when wildfire activity is followed by periods
of heavy rain. Emergency personnel are continuing to monitor the area, watching drainage activity carefully. For their own safety the public is requested to stay out of fire-affected areas and to obey all warning and hazards signs. The Evacuation Order area, including parks, trails and public and private lands, remains closed to the public.
The latest information and updated maps of the Evacuation Order and Evacuation Alert areas are available at www.cordemergency.ca.

Mediterranean Style Three Bedroom Stucco cladding, a tile roof, double-height columns and decorative windows lend this three-bedroom home’s façade a touch of Mediterranean style. Inside, the basement-entry floor plan offers plenty of options for today’s active, growing family. Entry is on the ground floor, through a covered area that leads to a spacious foyer with a den to one side. Directly ahead is the staircase to the second level. Behind the den is the laundry room, and behind that is a large unfinished basement with a roughed-in threepiece bathroom. This valuable space could be used in many ways: as a recreation room, an in-law suite or for storage and hobbies. The second level is bright and spacious, boasting ninefoot ceilings throughout and the potential for wonderful views. The great room has a built-in display case and entertainment unit along one wall, with a gas fireplace between them. An angled railing overlooks the foyer below. Sliding glass doors from the dining room access the partly covered deck at the front of the house, ideal for year-round grilling. The kitchen has a large square work island and eating bar, a double-door pantry, a phone desk and a greenhouse window that looks over the back deck to the garden beyond. This room is bound to be the centre of family life. In summer, gatherings can spill out on to the sundeck. In winter, there is plenty of room around the fireplace in the great room to read, play board games and watch TV. From the great room, a corridor leads to the bedroom wing. The master bedroom features a make-up area, separated from the four-piece ensuite by a sliding pocket door. A large walk-in closet with built-in shoe storage completes the dressing area.

Kelowna’s Watts-Watling Hawaii bound Yochim B.C. Okanagan can boast another fine young track athlete coming into form player of week Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
If her first showing at the national junior level is a sign of things to come, then Kelowna’s Keely Watts-Watling appears fit and ready for the next big step in her career on the track. The 18-year-old KSS grad is coming off a medal-winning performance at the Canadian combined championships earlier this month in Ottawa. In two weeks, Watts-Watling will travel to Honolulu to prepare for her first season with the University of Hawaii Rainbow Wahine women’s track and field team. “It’s exciting,” said Watts-Watling. “When I first started in (track and field) that was my goal, to get a scholarship. To be able to compete at that level will be a dream come true. I’m looking forward to it.” Competing at the NCAA level will admittedly be a considerable step up, but Watts-Watling will head to Hawaii with some confidence on her side after winning the bronze medal in national junior heptathlon two weeks ago in Ottawa. The highlights for Watts-Watling included a PB (14.59 seconds) and second overall finish the 100 hurdles, a first-place showing in the shot-put, and a PB in the javelin. When all was said and done, she finished the seven-event competition with 4,853 points, just 26 points out of the silver medal position. “It felt really good,”
Watts-Watling said of her performance. “I came in ranked 11th, so to win a medal was really nice. I was happy to prove the

rankings wrong.” A nagging shoulder injury over the past couple of seasons has tested Watts-Watling’s resolve and, despite some struggles, the multi-talented athlete has found ways to persevere. Last year, she captured national gold in youth heptathlon. Watts-Watling’s coach, Pat Sima Ledding, said a bronze the summer in her first Canadian junior competition is a performance worthy of attention. “Her tenacity is commendable,” said Sima-Ledding the head coach of the Okanagan Athletics Club. “She has come through a couple of challenging seasons and

A BCFC all-star last season, Robbie Yochim has picked up right where he left off in 2014. Based on his performance Saturday night in Chilliwack, the Okanagan Sun defensive back has been named the conference’s defensive player of the week. The 5-foot-10, 180-pound Yochim intercepted two passes, including returning one of them for a 75-yard touchdown in the Sun’s 41-7 season-opening victory over the Valley Huskers. Yochim also led the Sun with four solo tackles. A graduate of Rutland secondary, Yochim is in his fifth and final season with the Sun. Last season he led the club in interceptions with seven. The other BCFC players of the week were V.I. Raiders receiver Marshall Cook on offence, and Langley’s John Beckerleg on special teams. Meanwhile, the Sun (1-0) return to action this Saturday night as they take on the Rams in Langley. The teams split two meetings last season. In other games, the Raiders visit Victoria, while Kamloops plays in Chilliwack.

A familiar voice to Canadian football fans from coast-to-coast, Glen Suitor will be the featured guest speaker at the 6th Annual Okanagan Sun Scholarship Dinner. The dinner is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 24 at the Coast Capri Ho-
Robbie Yochim tel.
Suitor joined TSN’s CFL broadcast booth in 1995 and has since become one of Canada’s most respected and knowledgeable football analysts. Suitor currently works alongside 20-plusyear play-by-play veteran Chris Cuthbert as the game analyst for TSN’s extensive CFL coverage. A former CFL standout, Suitor broke into the league in 1984 and played 11 seasons with the Saskatchewan Roughriders as a safety before announcing his retirement in 1994. Suitor entered the TSN Radio booth that same year as a guest analyst during the 1994 Grey Cup in Vancouver before joining TSN as game analyst the following year. The Roughriders’ alltime interception leader (51), Suitor was a threetime CFL All-Star (199193) and a four-time Western All-Star (1989, 1990, 1992, 1993). During Suitor’s 11 years with the Roughriders, he never missed a game, playing in 194 straight tilts. Suitor says he is most proud of being part of the 1989 Grey Cup winning Saskatchewan Roughriders team.

Ex-Whitecaps’ captain to help grow game Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
A lengthy and successful career on the soccer pitch now behind him, much of Jay DeMerit’s future will be spent promoting the growth of the sport in B.C. The first captain and first player signed by the Vancouver Whitecaps’ MLS expansion franchise in 2010, DeMerit was in Kelowna this week for a skills camp hosted by the Whitecaps’ Okanagan Academy Centre at Mission sports fields. DeMerit, 34, announced his retirement from the Whitecaps last week, citing two ankle injuries in less than 15 months as the detersmining factor. He played n71 career games for the -Whitecaps and nearly s6,000 minutes during his -MLS career. DeMerit also y e s
played six seasons in England with Watford FC and appeared with the U.S. at the World Cup in 2010. Now an ambassador for the Whitecaps, DeMerit is looking forward to his new role with the club. “When you’ve been able to develop a connection with the fans and the sport itself and B.C. in general over the years, it’s nice to continue this thing,” DeMerit said. “To be able to transition into something that’s going to be part of my next life is fantastic. It starts with getting out in the communities and being an ambassador for this sport, so it’s another opportunity to continue to grow the game and that’s why we’re here.” Because Canada lags behind most countries in terms of development and performance—the na-

DeMerit, who is now an ambassador for the Whitecaps, provided some instruction to the camp participants. tional men’s program is ranked 110th—DeMerit agrees there’s plenty of
work to be done across the country at the grassroots level.
Still, with the increasing profile of the MLS and big-league teams in
Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto, he believes Canadian soccer is about to enter a positive growth phase. “I like the fact that there’s more work to do than a lot of places, because it’s a chance to be a part of this and how it’s all created,” he said. “In the U.S. because of the infrastructure, the backing it has and the sheer numbers of players, a lot of that is already in place down there. Here we’re really still building and that’s what’s exciting. “I look forward to trying to inspire a young group of Canadians to try and be a professional,” he added. “The Whitecaps are more visible than ever, they’re accessible and a great option for our young kids here. The way it’s grown, we think pro soccer in Canada is really something to aspire to.”
Right here at home, Whitecaps’ Okanagan Academy Centre head coach David Broadhurst said the presence of professionals like DeMerit and Gershon Koffie—who attended a camp earlier this month in Kelowna—should only enhance the future the sport in the B.C. Interior. “It’s an experience that’s hard to come across for young players, certainly in Canada where there are only three professional teams,” Broadhurst said. “To give these players dreams and aspirations and to speak someone like Jay DeMerit, it’s a unique experience, for sure.” The next Whitecaps/ Okanagan skills camp in Kelowna is scheduled for Aug. 18 to 22 at Mission sports fields.

Athletics to host B.C. bantam finals
-
d The Okanagan Ath-letics will have the home -crowd on their side as -they host the B.C. Bantam tAAA Baseball Championship this weekend at Edith Gay Park. - The host team kicks yoff the 10-team provincial etournament Thursday at 10:15 a.m. against White Rock. - Defending champion rCloverdale (32-4) and -White Rock (28-8) are -the favourites and top two -seeds at the tournament. , The host A’s (14-22) are among the underdogs, but defeated both Cloverrdale and White Rock once during the regular season. “The nice thing at this tlevel of baseball is that every team has the ability gto beat any other team,” -said Athletics’ GM Dean Mandryk. “Those two teams are obviously the favourites, but we definitely have a chance. If we play hard and minimize out mistakes, you never know what might happen.” The Athletics, made up of 14 players from throughout the Okanagan, will play twice on Friday—9:15 a.m. against Victoria Black and 6:15 p.m. against Vancouver Minor. Their final round robin game is Saturday at 3:15 p.m. vs Richmond. As for playing at home, Mandryk ex-
pects the surroundings to help his team, particularly when it comes to the scorching temperatures expected on the weekend. “We have the shale infield and none of the other teams play on that, so that should be to our advantage,” Mandryk said. “It’s going to be hot, the humidex is going to be up around 42, so the heat can be hard on teams that aren’t used to that. Our guys our familiar with those conditions, they grew up with it and have
been practising in it quite a bit.” The top two teams from each five-team pool will move on to the semifinals Sunday morning at Edith Gay. The B.C. championship final will be played at 1 p.m.

Zakala defends national open water title for his age group
One of the country’s top young swimmers, Josh Zakala cleaned up last weekend at the Canadian Age Group Championships in Winnipeg. Zakala, 16, led the Kelowna AquaJets with eight individual medals in nine events—four gold, two silver and two bronze. His last medal on Monday came in the 5 km Open Water race at St. Malo Park, where he defended his national title for the fourth year running. Not only was Zakala the fastest in his age group, but he was the fastest overall in the race, completing the course in 58 minutes and 38 seconds. ‘’Happy but tired,’’ said Zakala, after the race. ‘’I maintained a consistent race. The sighting was hard at times and I tended
to go off course.” In the pool Zakala won his gold in the 1500 Free, 800 Free and 200 IM; silver medals in the 200 Back, and 400 IM; and bronze medals in the 100 Back and 400 Free. All eight pool races were AquaJet club records in both 15-17 and Open age categories. Although most were already his own, the one record he rewrote was a 200 Free record (1:56.78) set by Christian Desjarlais back in 2011. Zakala lowered this to 1:56.32 and placed fifth. Josh is currently still in Winnipeg representing Team West in an East vs. West Dual competition, before returning home on Friday. Josh will continue to train through the summer getting ready for his first International Competi-
Josh Zakala tion representing Canada at the FINA Junior Open Water World Championships, which has recently been moved from Eilat, Israel to Hungary on Sept. 5 to 7. In Winnipeg, the AquaJets were also represented by Katie Dunlop, 15, and Clarisse Obedkoff, 14. Obedkoff swam to four best times while
competing in the 50 Free (26th), 200 Free (26th), 200 Fly (25th), 200 IM (17th) and 400 IM (21st). Dunlop had two best times and cracked the top 10 while competing in the 50 Free (10th), 100 Free (12th), 50 Breast (9th), 100 Breast (11th), 200 Breast (15th), 200 Back (19th), 200 IM (20th). The meet hosted 873 swimmers and over 150 clubs from all over Canada, along with a few international competitors from Ireland and Bermuda. Overall the AquaJets placed in 48th spot. Head coach Peter Wilkins was pleased with the efforts of his team. “I am proud of how all three Jets handled themselves at the competition, and am already looking forward to next season.”

Two B.C. bronze medals for Kelowna youth Following in her older brother’s footsteps, Isabella Dreger made her way on to the podium twice at the B.C. Junior Development Track and Field Championships. The nine-year-old from Kelowna earned bronze medals in the 100 metres and long jump last weekend in Surrey.

In the 100, she improved her personal best time of 16.41 to 15.85 seconds, and her distance in the long jump from 2.80m to 3.14 metres. Isabella’s brother, Tyler, 17, recently won two silver medals at the B.C. junior championships in Kamloops. Isabella, who has been in ballet since she was a little girl, decided to take her other passion—running—to the next level, as she had not taken part in any track and field training before.

Earlier this summer, Isabella won the 100 and long jump at the Jack Brow meet in Kelowna. “At this young age, it is still a lot about natural talent and obviously Isabella brings a lot of that to the table,” Stroda said. “Being top three in her age group in the prov-
ince is just amazing. But the way she has improved from Jack Brow to now also shows that with some simple yet profound changes and tips plus the dedication Isabella brought to every practise to work hard, huge improvements are possible.” Isabella also placed fifth in the 60m at provincials where she improved her previous mark of 10.09 to 9.95 seconds.

Calgary libero to join Manuel’s UBCO Heat volleyball team
Cineplex Orchard Plaza 5
▼ CIS
UBC Okanagan Heat women’s volleyball head coach Steve Manuel found another gem across the Rockies, pulling another recruit out of Calgary with the commitment of Sophia Furlan from Sir Winston Secondary. Furlan will replace the graduated libero Lenai Schmidt and backup returning libero Kailin Jones, who redshirted last season to do her Human Kinetics practicum as the team’s trainer. The 5-foot-9 Bulldog joins Megan Festival as a Calgarian, and like the outside hitter she was a member of the well-respected Dinos Volleyball Club. Falling in a familiar theme that has taken place amongst Heat recruits this year Sophia paid a visit to the school earlier in the year and fell for the campus, lifestyle, and prospective teammates. “When In visited the campus in January, I knew this was where I wanted to attend university. It was exciting seeing a place other than Calgary that I could possibly call home,” explains the Calgary native. “I had a fantastic experience meeting the coaches and the varsity girls, even if it was for a brief period of time. They were all so friendly and really made me feel welcome during my stay.” Playing both setter and libero in her school and club career coach Manuel looks to take full advantage of Sophia’s versatility.

Soolsma, and went into the women’s draw last weekend at City Park ranked 17th overall. After losing a close match in their opener, Ratzlaff, 18, and Soolsma, 17, bounced back to win successive games against a team from Kelowna, and two teams from Vancouver.

KASKIW, RETA With hearts filled with sadness and love the family of Reta Kaskiw announce her passing after a courageous and strong battle with Parkinson’s disease. Reta Kaskiw – loving wife, sister, Mom, Grammy, and friend. Mourning her passing is her husband Edward and his children – Wanda (Roy), Wayne, Jamie (Lori); her daughter Carol (John), her son Trent Kelm, and her grandchildren Connor, Hanna, Rachel, Emma and Jake. Her parents and her son-in-law Rick preceded her in death. She leaves to cherish her memory her brothers, Grant, Donald, Lloyd and their families, nieces, nephews, many relatives and close friends. She was always ready to help out wherever needed. Her influence will always be treasured and will be carried on in those whose lives she touched. We also wish to recognize and thank Dr. Hignell and the May Bennett Wellness Centre staff. Keeping with her request, there will be no memorial service. A private family interment will be held at Lakeview Memorial Gardens. Separations come to us all. But between those who believe, even the most final good-bye becomes merely, “See you later…on that beautiful shore.” Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

Medical marijuana grow op gets temporary permit
Dry lightning could cause big problems
Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
A building on Paradise Valley Drive in the Trepanier area near the Okanagan Connector is one step closer to legally producing medical marijuana. The Regional District of the Central Okanagan gave conditional approval for a temporary use permit for the proposed facility at its board meeting Monday. Bruce Smith, communications and intergovernmental affairs officer with the regional district, said the applicant will have to meet several conditions before the facility can begin producing medical marijuana, such as: Obtaining a licence from Health Canada, completing a wildfire risk assessment report and addressing how it will impact water in the area. The property owner has applied for a federal licence to produce medical marijuana from a building, which is currently being retrofitted on a four-hectare parcel. The applicant requested the temporary use permit in order to seek subdivision consolidation with

two adjacent properties. That would meet the eight-hectare minimum parcel size required by the regional district for medical marijuana production. If the properties are consolidated into one parcel, a variance must still be approved by the regional district for building setback requirements. “If they were to get the licence and meet the other conditions, then the temporary use permit would allow them to operate the facility,” said Smith. “Whether they get the licence or not, in the end, is up to Health Canada.” Smith said this is the first medical marijuana production application to be considered by the regional board. “We understand there are five potential licences out there that are in various stages of process,” said Smith. The regional district submitted the proposal to Peachland council for consideration earlier this month. Peachland councillors were not in favour of the temporary use permit. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com

WEST KELOWNA
Community briefs: Westshore water interruption notice Customers of the Westshore Water System along the north end of Westside Road should be aware of two planned service outages. Regional district crews will be replacing two pressure reducing valve chambers as a part of the infrastructure improvement program. The work is scheduled to take place from Friday, Aug. 1 through Wednesday, Aug. 13, and will impact water service for customers on the following dates, times and addresses:
• Aug. 6, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., approximately 25 residences will be affected on Columbia Way (even addresses from 10400 to 10484), Mountain Drive (even addresses from 594 to 610, odd addresses from 407 to 659) and Spruce Drive (addresses from 36 to 78) • Aug. 7, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., approximately 11 residences will be affected on Lakewood Road (even addresses from 312 to 336), Columbia Way (even addresses from 10494 to 10600, odd addresses from 10579 to
10595) and Mountain Drive (even addresses from 310 to 422, odd addresses from 311 to 401). Please note that the time that water service will be restored is an estimate only and may vary. It is recommended that on the day of the scheduled water interruption, customers at those addresses impacted do the following: • shut off hot and cold faucets and any equipment that requires water • store sufficient drinking water for the anticipated periods of interruption
• isolate supply to hot water tanks • fill a bathtub or other large container with water to use for toilet flushing • only flush the toilet when absolutely necessary • use anti-bacterial hand sanitizer for hand washing After completion of the infrastructure improvements, regional district staff will flush the distribution system to remove any impurities which may have entered during construction. Following the interruption and after water supply has been restored,
it is recommended that customers at affected addresses run a cold water tap until the water runs clear. Once the water is clear it is safe to drink. Roadside notice boards will be put up in advance of crews working in the area. Only those addresses listed will be affected by the water service interruption. No other Westshore Water System customers are expected to be affected. If you have any questions regarding the interruption, contact region-
Parachutist jumps into trouble in Vernon Richard Rolke BLACK PRESS REPORTER
A student parachutist, believed to be from West Kelowna, has sur-
vived a frightening turn of events with little more than scrapes and bruises. At about 4:15 p.m. Monday, a student with Okanagan Skydive was
soaring above the Vernon Airport when he began to descend and struck a residence in the 2400 block of Myriad Road. “It’s only speculation but it seems like the student passed out and was unable to control the parachute,” said Bret Chalmers, with Okanagan Skydive. While there were reports that the parachutist
got tangled in power lines, that wasn’t the case. “The parachute got caught up but there was 30 feet between him and the chute and he tumbled towards the ground,” said Jack Blair, Vernon deputy fire chief. The student, who is believed to be 50 years old, did not break any bones and only sustained bruises.
He had recorded about 200 parachute jumps 10 to 15 years ago, but he was at Okanagan Skydive for the First Jump Course. Chalmers has talked to the individual’s family as part of his company’s investigation into the accident. “We will do an incident report with our national organization,” he said.
