Drug smuggler facing jail time Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
The West Kelowna man busted trying to brazenly import nearly 100 kilograms of cocaine into B.C. through a fruit grinding machine may be facing more than a decade behind bars. Justice Alison Beames found Clifford Roger Montgomery, 37, guilty of possession for the purpose of trafficking, conspiracy to import cocaine and conspiracy to traffic for the 2010 offence. Convicted of the same charges was Salvador Ascencio Chavez, 47, from Mexico, who at the time of the crime operated under the alias Victor Perez Rodriguez. Tariq Mohammed Aslam, 36, of Surrey, B.C. was convicted of possession and the intent to traffic, but found not guilty of conspiring to import drugs. Montgomery and Aslam won’t be sentenced until next month, but Chavez was sentenced to 13 years after the verdict was rendered. It was a significantly lesser sentence than what Crown Counsel Neil Cobb asked for. He’d argued for a prison term of two decades long, less See Time A6

Lavender farm realizes grand culinary vision Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Not every farmer takes to the field to plant after reading an article about disease in their prospective crop, but Andrea McFadden is not every farmer. She and her husband, David, were looking for opportunities in agriculture when she spotted a clip on fungus attacking French lavender at an alarming rate. “Because I had grown up in a family that grew grapes, I knew about phyllox (phylloxera) in the grape industry and wondered if this too might not be as much of a problem in North America.” As a member of the Stewart family, owners of Quails’ Gate Estate Winery, she also knew farming is a risk that takes finesse to turn a profit. She launched into lavender believing her farm could help North American chefs discover an ingredient capable of transforming the simplest dishes—roast potatoes or a glass of lemonade—into gourmet creations. “Grant de Montreuil had his restaurant downtown and he was really interested in the jelly we made and there were some chefs in Vancouver using the jelly; I guess they were the first people really interested in what we were doing,” she said. “I think we thought

OKANAGAN Lavender and Herb Farm owner Andrea McFadden says hosting Feast of Fields Aug. 17, is the culmination of her vision.. we would soon see others join them in using lavender in culinary applications but, probably, over the years, we discovered how challenging it was to convince people to try lavender. It’s not part of our vernacular here.” The McFaddens really found their market when consumers started questioning the chemicals in cosmetics.

This year, Okanagan Lavender and Herb Farm invested in new distillation equipment that cuts their time from six days to one for many of their body care products. “Roses have end-

Learning the intricacies of wine Kathy Michaels STAFF REPOTER
Penelope Roche is a fifth generation viticulturist and wine maker out of Bordeaux, France. Viticulture is in her blood. It’s also made its mark on her hands, which aren’t impractically manicured like those who merely sip on the fruits of her labours. As she moved through rows of grape vines at La Frenz winery on the Naramata Bench Friday, those hands showed a wealth of understanding and strength, continually snapping off errant shoots from vines or digging into the soil as a means to intuit the health of the entire vineyard. “See, this clay, this is good,” she said, unclamping her hand to reveal a chunk of earth with her finger impressions intact to a group of aspiring oenophiles. They’d gathered for day one of an Okanagan College, threepart intensive course aimed at teaching more
about B.C.’s wine industry and it was Roche’s job to teach them how it worked, from the ground up. Roche, who’s been a consultant in the valley for two years, is one of the local industry experts who have signed on to teach for the Food and Wine Tourism program at the college, which is growing into its new digs, the state of the art B.C. Wine Information Centre. She brings to the table a family history in wine deeper than the entirety of B.C.’s industry. But it’s clear when she interacts with the peers who have assembled to teach the program, Roche is as eager as them to ride the wave of innovation born from the wilds of the Okanagan Valley. “It’s very exciting,” she said, of what’s being done in the industry. It’s a major departure from what she knew in Bordeaux, but change is good. And Roche said that there are a number of ways in which she’s been

JAY Drysdale explains some of the finer points of the valley’s wine making history to those gathered for Okanagan College’s three-part intensive course.
PENELOPE Roche and Jeff Martin discuss viticulture in the vineyards of La Frenz, on the Naramata Bench. impressed. For example, some B.C. vines can grow without being grafted to a root system, a quirk of grape farming born from the era of colonization that’s pretty much the standard worldwide. She said she also likes the way a number of winery owners are farming their land and experimenting with practices that have never been touched by European wine-making forefathers. Jeff Martin, the Aussie behind the award winning La Frenz winery, has 40 years of trial and error under his belt, and he is one of those who’s bottled what Roche values. Call it biodynamic or organic—which he doesn’t, officially—he says he’s about “working with Mother Nature, not against her.” Weeds grow more freely than the vines above them, and to Martin that’s a sign of good health in the earth below. Apparently, he can even smell it. After a thorough reckoning of the vineyard, Roche and Martin led students from the field to a table where they dined on

PLACEMATS are an easy way to remember the wine you just tasted. simple charcuterie paired with any number of vintages from that winery and a couple from other locations. Martin answered questions from students about the wine making process, but the real value of the lunch was listening to the two experts chat freely and excitedly about everything from farming, to wines they like and awards won. And listening to those discussions with a new artillery of vocabulary was an immense benefit. The program blends classroom lessons of terminology, history and
tasting technique with whirlwind tours through wineries, vineyards, bottling rooms and even foodie hotspots. Kelly Korpisto leads the classroom part of the program, and shares inside knowledge of the industry gleaned from a combination of marketing and wine making experience. In addition to Roche, chef and winemaker Jay Drysdale took participants to various stops in the valley that highlighted the array of practices in local vineyards and wine shops.
Drysdale also knows food, and whipped up meals that paired perfectly with wines, taught some cheese-making and talked about what he’s most passionate about— Okanagan food and wine. All over these hills, small restaurants that specialize in locally grown ingredients have blossomed, he explained. Alongside a first-rate selection of wines at restaurants and shops, many from small vignerons, demonstrate a clear understanding that wine is just one more ingredient on the table, subject to the

same standards of production and purity as food. His dream, however, is to see the industry mature and grow. And, the expanding slate of courses at the college are a big piece of that dream. “That’s why I did this,” he told the class. It’s time, he believes, to create a B.C. identity on a world stage. Certainly, he said, the region’s profile has risen, but when it comes to creating an identity that’s still a way in the future. That identity may be born out of a slimming down of wines offered in the valley, or the creation of more distinct wine regions. Regardless, his big goal is to have someone to taste a local wine and say, “that’s so B.C.” For more information on the programming for food and wine tourism at Okanagan College, go to http://www.okanagan. bc.ca/Programs/Areas_ of_Study/fwt.html. Everything from cheesemaking to beer tasting is offered these days, as well as a free B.C. wine serving course that highlights the history of the region.

A new emergency medicine residency training site at Kelowna General Hospital has been launched, with the acceptance of its first two Royal College emergency resident physicians. Over the course of five years of placement, the resident physicians will embark on a range of rotations in emergency medicine. They will also gain exposure to other disciplines including cardiology, orthopedics, plastic surgery, neurosciences, internal medicine, psychiatry, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology. “Recruitment and retention of doctors is a challenge for many communities,” said Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick. “The two emergency resident physicians accepted in Kelowna will gain valuable skills that we hope will keep them in the area for years to come.” The first two resident physicians, Drs. Daniel Ting and Jared Baylis, were accepted in July. In five years, the emergency medicine residency site at KGH will be fully implemented, with a total of 10 resident physicians in training.

Mexican gets 13 years for smuggling drugs into B.C. Time from A1 time served. “One cannot deny that the scale and scope of this offence contributes to the (problems) facing every community in Canada,” Cobb told the court. By trying to unleash 97 kilograms of cocaine on Canadians, Chavez directly “contributed to the social ills and miseries that are an unfortunate reality of Canadian society,” he added. Defence lawyer Karen Molle argued for a sentence in the area of eight
to 12 years, in comparison noting that Chavez isn’t a career criminal. Rather, he’s an architect and a family man, she said. It’s unclear what Crown will request for Montgomery, but he was convicted on the same charges as Chavez. This week’s proceedings marked the final stages of a legal process that’s been in the works for nearly four years. The failed drug smuggling scheme first came to the attention of RCMP in September 2010, when an enormous piece of
farm equipment of dubious working order arrived at the Canadian border, by way of Argentina then Miami. The Canadian border officer was working in the cargo area at Vancouver Airport in 2010 when she received a list of the goods entering Canada that day. A heavy fruit-grinder from the south of South America was considered unusual, so she requested a secondary inspection. On Sept. 22, they used a tiny video camera to look within the grinder and discovered
the cocaine. Inside the 2,300-kilogram machine, Montgomery and Chavez had concealed 97.5 kilograms of cocaine, which had an estimated street value somewhere in the area of $3.5-million and $3.9-million, the court heard Wednesday. The aim of the men was to spread it out between Vancouver and the Okanagan. From there, the authorities subbed in a fake substance for the cocaine, and acted out an elaborate plan to follow the grinder to its owners and watch them along the
way. The three men were seen in various ways doing everything from picking up the grinder to transporting it to a location in Merritt to remove the drugs. At the grinder’s final location, audio equipment picked up conversations that indicated that they knew what they were looking for and what they would do with it once they figured out how to extract it from the machine. What the trio didn’t account for, however, was the violet dye that
the police had set inside to mark those who handled the product inside. It left splatters everywhere, and the men tracked it into their homes on their clothes and it stained their hands. Evidence of the dye was visible at the time of their arrest. On Oct. 4, 2010, Montgomery was ar-
rested at his West Kelowna home. Warrants were issued for Chavez and Aslam who were arrested a week later in California. Montgomery, father of two, is out on bail currently being treated for a tumour on his spine. He’s scheduled for a medical procedure before his sentencing.

Seeing the farm-to-table movement they’ve participated in, really, since they started in 1999 grow by leaps and bounds over the past few years is thrilling from McFadden’s vantage. “We’ve come through a time when there was so much processed food and, to be at this stage where farm-to-table offerings are gaining momentum like they are, with the public realizing the flavour you get with simple fresh ingredients, that’s pretty incredible,” she said. Next Sunday, Aug. 17, Okanagan Lavender and Herb Farm will see 800 people fill its gardens as the McFaddens host the sixth annual Feast of Fields, a key fundraising for FarmFolk CityFolk. FarmFolk CityFolk promotes sustainability, eating in your own community and supporting local farmers. It assists seed farmers like Sunshine Farms, and offers young farmers on Vancouver Island micro loans to get into the industry. It brings together small-scale food producers and tries match them with small-scale buyers, like restaurants or Choices Market or Nature’s Fare. Feast of Fields is a sampling extravaganza that unites 30 restaurants and wineries to offer guests a taste of the Okanagan, from one end of the valley to the other. The wineries and chefs donate their food and drink, and work together in pairs. “It is a big commitment for them so, they really do have to believe in FarmFolk CityFolk and what they do to be there because you could do a lot of things with that marketing dollar,” said Alison Love, event organizer. This year, Harvest Golf Club will do a Duck Confit to pair with Tantalus Vineyard’s Rielsing. Grapevine Restaurant at Grey Monk is doing a duck sausage slider with current and apple chutney with apple slaw to pair with a Greymonk Estate Rotberger, a light summer red. Sandrine French Pastry and Chocolate already makes lavender gelato for Okanagan Lavender Farm so the pair will work together at this event. Traditional French Nougat has lavender in the recipe, so nougat will be served with Maringues and Italian soda made from the herbal syrups produced on the farm. For the lavender farm, hosting Feast of Fields marks a full circle moment. “When my dad asked my oldest brother, Ben, if he would come home and work on the farm, he said he would as long as the ultimate goal was to have a winery so they weren’t going through a middle man anymore. “Anybody who is in farming knows this. If you have to go through a packing house or a middle man, it’s hardly worth while,” said McFadden. Bringing the consumer directly to the farm to see what a grower’s labours can produce is the ultimate dream. Three of these fundraisers are held annually— one in the Lower Mainland, one on the Island and this one in the Okanagan. Tickets are $95 a person and the event has sold out every year. It runs from 1 to 4 p.m. on Aug. 17 at Okanagan Lavender and Herb Farm, 4380 Takla Rd. There are still tickets available at Choices Markets in Kelowna, the Penticton and Wine Country Tourism Centre or online at farmfo lkcityfolk.ca.

Monaco building starts this fall Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
The Monaco will be under construction as of this fall, says Tyler Dueck, public relations for Premier Pacific Group. The twin tower urban condo and hotel project will be the first highrise built in Kelowna’s downtown core in half a decade due to the 2008 economic crash. Last week, the City of Kelowna’s planning department indicated the final paperwork needed for the developer to obtain the necessary building permit to start construction
had yet to be filed, and the deadline was this week to meet their anticipated September build timeline; however, the developer insists the project is still going up. “I don’t know if we’ll be there for September, but certainly we’ll be on track for this fall,” said Dueck. “We’re not talking about months and months down the road, (but) maybe weeks behind.” The company needs to finalize a landscape plan and secure some commitments for the in-house daycare, file the paperwork and wait for the municipality’s approval before proceeding.
The Monaco will include a 22-storey tower and a 30-storey tower, and will be built directly in front of The Daily Courier’s offices and behind The Madison on St. Paul Street. The buildings include 161 residential suites, a 128-room hotel in one tower, 3,000 square metres of street-side commercial space and a daycare centre. The developer has also promised to install thousands of dollars worth of public art, include a bikeshare program and facilities for charging electric cars.

▼ OUR VIEW
Needed change of strategy
A
s the contract dispute between the BC Teachers’ Federation and the provincial government drags on through the summer, the public has both created and reaffirmed some of the storylines behind it. For one, most outsiders feel the dispute should be focused on classroom size and teaching issues, not on teacher’ salaries, signing bonuses and sweetening of the existing benefits package. If that was the case, the theory goes that a new contract would have been settled long ago, that
the experienced negotiators on both sides keep screwing it up. There is also the belief repeatedly uttered by many journalists who cover Victoria that this contract dispute is personal for Premier Christy Clark, that she wants to hammer the BCTF at the negotiating table. The potential why behind that theory dates back to when Clark was education minister in 2002 and introduced a law at the time which stripped the teacher collective agreement on many guarantees that had previously been
negotiated. The BCTF took the government to court and won their case. The decision was upheld on appeal and is now subject to appeal again at the government’s requ ada Supreme Court. If upheld again, the decision could end up costing millions to re-institute those previously negotiated policies. For its part, the BCTF leadership seems stuck in a time warp of catch-up, despite the fact we live in an economic reality today that can’t hope to meet those ob-
t jectives. The contract talks set to re- e sume Friday, with September o i re-opening of schools still too far a off to give either side any negoti- p i ating leverage yet. But it would be nice to hear u the focus be about the classroom i workplace, if it really is about the kids as both the teachers and government are fond of saying. ▼ Parents and others who care about our school system want to be tuned into those issues. Wage hikes, benefit hikes, signing bonuses…not so much.

Political leadership today only about winning elections

YES UNDECIDED

ou are feeling desperate for political leadership in this generation when you find yourself start harkening back to the accomplishments of former U.S. president Richard Nixon. I was thinking about that this week after hearing an interview with federal Liberal PM hopeful Justin Trudeau, and listening to some of the buzz down south about additional White House taped conversations in the oval office from the Nixon era being released to the public. Trudeau has had very little to of-
t i S O
fer voters, at least so far, with regards to the complex issues facing our country today, from competing in the economic global marketplace to balBarry ancing our environGerding mental protection concerns against mining our natural resources, preserving our health care system, giving taxpayers an overall bigger bang for their tax-collected bucks. That doesn’t appear troubling to many perhaps, given that Trudeau came out ahead of Prime Minister Stephen Harper in a recent leadership poll.
EDITOR’S NOTE
During his shortened two terms in office, Nixon had many notable achievements: Launched initiatives to fight cancer and illegal drugs; enforced desegregation of Southern U.S. schools; a landside re-election campaign win for the U.S. presidency; introduced health care and welfare reforms; established the Environmental Protection Agency; escalated and then ended U.S. involvement in the Vietnam war; opened diplomatic ties with China, and signed a nuclear arms deal with the Soviet Union. Of course, his other notable achievement, unfortunately, was overseeing an illegal and clandestine operation of activities to discredit and harass rival political figures and organ-
izations. It led to his resignation on Aug. 9, 1974, when faced with the prospect of being subjected to impeachment proceedings by the U.S. Congress. So Nixon was one busy president, accomplishing an agenda, both legal and illegal, that few of his predecessors in the White House have come close to since. For Trudeau, his online message of hope and prosperity for Canada’s future is safe and bland, troubling for a candidate seen as growing in popularity. Popular for what? Will we find out before or after he moves into 24 Sussex Drive. He talks about Canada as being a grand, unfinished project and it’s up to all of us to build the country we want.
‘ u
He says it’s not just about having a different government; it’s about electing a better government—one that works with Canadians to shape our best instincts into an even better country. He says for nearly a decade, the Conservatives have taken us in a direction most Canadians don’t want to go even though we re-elected him twice. It’s time to pull together to s build better lives for each other—and e c a better Canada, he says. So, a grand vision, words NDP l a leader Thomas Mulcair or Harper could just as easily utter. The next fed-’ eral election isn’t until next year, so e let’s hope more concrete ideas will be f forthcoming before then. m bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

▼ WE SHOULD SUPPORT POLITICIANS
tiMeless QUality & CoMFort
Politicians should be thanked for public service
To the editor: In response to a letter to the editor of the Capital News on July 25: MPs Should Learn Ins and Outs of Parliament. I agree with the writer that there are different levels of power in our democracy, but in my opinion, the power that trumps all these powers is ‘people power.’ We vote people into power, and then undervalue them. During an election, it is people who vote for
their choice of candidate and party to form the government. So, its ‘people power’ that chooses the party they believe to be the most capable and most trusted to create good policy and form just laws, to make our country the best it can be. In the case of today’s governing party, Mr. Harper was elected with a comfortable majority which gave him the authority and responsibility to guide our great coun-
try for the following four years. As for the Supreme Court and Senate, once again its ‘people power’ as we entrust the power to apvpoint both judges and senators to the reigning Prime Minister who we, the people have, placed into that position. The embarrassment in the Senate in the last months is nothing new. Over the 13 years Liberal Senators were appointed by Liberal prime min-
isters I would venture to say the incidents of today pale in comparison with the past. Over all, giving oneself to public service is too often not appreciated by the general public. It’s relatively easy to find fault while sitting on the sidelines. Since moving to Kelowna recently, I’ve had the pleasure to chat over coffee with Mr. Dan Albas in Peachland. He is a proud father and a fine,
approachable gentleman. I look forward to meeting with my Member of Parliament, Mr. Ron Cannon in the near future. So, this is a sincere thank you to those of you who give countless hours to public service. That applies to firefighters, police officers, and, yes, even politicians. You need to know you are appreciated by most of us. Gertrude Sawatzky, Kelowna

▼ POLITICIANS SHOULD SUPPORT US
Vote for person who will stand up for the people
To the editor: Our present political representatives, both provincial and federal, are doing very little, if anything, to address our needs and concerns. They accept being restricted to a ‘no free vote’ and are pressured to concede to the demands of their party. In my opinion, there are three main issues where the majority of Canadians feel a need of correction. 1. There is a strong demand to eliminate the Senate. It is undemocratic in its origin and serves no useful purpose. Our politicians accept the Supreme
Court’s ruling that there is no need for even the reform of the Senate. This decision should have been challenged. In a democracy, there should be no supreme power that ignores the will of the people. 2. There is a need for a more fair distribution of wealth. The gap between the rich and the poor is growing with more and more people being denied a good quality of life. The minimum wage should be a livable wage. The menial task jobs are important. Think of the problems that would occur if these simple jobs were not done.
3. Get rid of the unfair monopolies and tax exemptions given to large corporations and special groups. Most of the job creation programs provide part-time work. The large chains and corporations tend to limit full-time employment by employing large numbers of parttime workers. Some employers even demand that these employees can’t work for any competitors. These workers are denied many benefits and are unable to make a livable wage. All three of these concerns can be corrected and controlled by legislation. It was reported in our
local news how there is evidence of Aspirin being beneficial in the treatment of cancer. None of the drug manufacturers would undertake the necessary research to verify this claim, because there was no chance a monopolizing the sale of the product and not enough profit. Medical research should be funded by the taxpayers, and should be carried out by non-profit organizations, not the manufacturer. I sometimes wonder if research is conducted to determine only what can be monopolized. We need to support more Canadian manu-
facturer’s goods. It’s difficult for local manufacturers to compete against goods that are produced by foreign workers in undemocratic Third World countries where workers are over-worked and under-paid. These imports should be taxed heavily. Now where are some leaders that will run on a platform that recognizes our needs and not act like puppets? Vote for the person, rather than for the party.

New contract proposals to be tabled Event to draw array of talented Tom Fletcher CONTRIBUTOR
Negotiators for the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and school districts are meeting Friday for the first time since schools were shuttered by a strike in late June, and Education Minister Peter Fassbender expects new proposals from both sides. Fassbender said Tuesday it’s the first meeting of full bargaining teams
in more than a month, and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association has some “new concepts” to bring to the discussion. “We’ve already demonstrated our willingness to move on some key elements,” he said. “We need to see the same from the BCTF. They’ve indicated they’re willing to do that.” He wouldn’t comment on the new proposals, except to reiterate that the
BCTF’s position on benefits and other compensation is not in the “affordability zone” established by other public sector union agreements. If the strike shuts schools again in September, the government plans to use the savings to compensate parents $40 a day for each child under 13 in public school, to assist with daycare or tutoring costs.

would be no conditions attached to the payout. “My hope is that there isn’t a nickel available as of September, because schools are operating, teachers are back in the classroom, students are there and there is no further disruption,” he said. The B.C. School Trustees’ Association has urged the government to direct its $12 million a day in payroll savings from the strike to a fund to address class size and special needs support. Trustees have also called on the union to moderate its benefit demands, which include parental leave, dental benefits, massage therapy and increased preparation time for elementary school teachers. BCPSEA has offered $375 million over a sixyear contract term to provide extra classroom support, and specified class size limits in the teacher contract, to address key issues in a series of court disputes. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

a Findlay Road home last month. On July 23, members of the Downtown Enforcement Unit and Bike Patrol Teams were conducting a drug trafficking investigation that culminated in the search of a residence on the 1100 block of Findlay Road. During the course of the investigation, two Kelowna men were arrested. Police subsequently obtained a search warrant for the home and found a quantity of illicit and prescription drugs, cash and paraphernalia con-
sistent with drug trafficking. In all, police seized 1.13 grams of heroin, 4.31 grams of methamphetamine, 3.66 grams of crack cocaine, 2.32 grams of powder cocaine, 65 various prescription pills and $3,700 in cash. The investigation is ongoing. A 41-year-old Kelowna man faces possible charges of trafficking a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking. He was released on a promise to appear for court Nov. 3, 2014.

Clifton Road traffic to be sidetracked by road improvements Clifton Road in Kelowna will be closed between Clement Avenue and Lambert Avenue starting at 7 a.m. Monday, Aug. 11, to allow for road widening, improving underground utilities and improved safety. The work along Clifton Road will include widening to four lanes, new sidewalks on both sides, street lighting, sanitary sewer, water main and shallow utilities and a new storm main from Lambert to Clement. New retaining walls
will be constructed along both sides where required and a signalized pedestrian crossing installed at Hartwick Avenue. The project will create a cycling space or “cycle track,” separated from the roadway by a barrier curb and separated from the pedestrian sidewalk by a visual barrier. Detour routes will be clearly marked via Glenmore Road, Clement Road and High Road. Work will proceed this week at Clement Avenue and Spall Road to extend

God is Still in Control It’s August, it’s hot and summer is in high gear. I turned on the news this morning only to be overwhelmed by the tragedy I beheld. I came to see that things are heating up all over our globe. I was first bombarded with information on the conflict in the Middle East. I saw images of armed missiles fly from Gaza into Israel. I saw Israel’s “Iron Dome,” spring into action. Israeli missiles intercepted the Palestinian rockets in the atmosphere. I saw tunnels from Gaza into Israel destroyed. Hamas used these tunnels to cross into Israel and wreak havoc. There were images of Israeli missiles flying into Gaza. I saw residents of Gaza crying in anguish. They had no electricity, no running water and lived in constant fear or injury and death. I saw the aftermath of missile fire on refugee camps, hospitals and schools in Gaza. Hamas blamed Israel for these atrocities. Israel blamed errant Hamas missiles. Egypt and the US have tried and failed to broker cease fires. So far there are no signs pointing to a resolution of this crisis in the near future. All signs point to its escalation. Following a commercial break, my screen was filled with images of the crisis in the Ukraine. A Malaysian Air flight was once again in the news. The jetliner was shot down over the Ukraine. Kiev and the West accuse pro-Russian rebels of shooting the plane down. Moscow says the Ukrainian government is responsible for the crash, which killed all 298 people on board. The Ukrainian Army and the pro-Russian rebels are locked in battle. This conflict seems to be heating up daily. The West is gathering evidence of Russia’s culpability in the Ukrainian Crisis so that more severe sanctions can be placed on Russia. Many are worried that this conflict could become global if the use of violence and sanctions increase.

Attention then turned to the outbreak of the Ebola disease in Africa. Ebola is a severe disease that is caused by a virus. Up to 90% of those who contract this disease die. It causes pain, fever, diarrhea, and vomiting. The virus is native to Africa. It developed first in animals before spreading to humans. The virus is passed by contact with blood and other bodily fluids from an infected person. It is most commonly spread among families or to caregivers when precautionary measures, such as disposable gloves and face masks, are not observed. The virus has spread in Africa due to the mass failure to use precautionary measures. The disease could spread throughout the world by infected patients traveling on international flights. Health professionals worry about the potential of this deadly disease. If this disease spreads the death toll could be massive. It is impossible to calculate the loss of life and destruction that an escalation of one, let alone all three, of these crises would
bring. The sad truth is that these three crises are only the tip of an iceberg. There are hundreds of other crises simmering all over our world. Crime, the illegal drug trade, terrorism, natural disasters, poverty, economic downturns, recessions, civil wars, and conflicts between neighboring nations are found throughout our world. The escalation of any of these crises could wreak havoc on our globe. The world seems to be spiraling out of control.
I believe all these crises are evidence of a battle between good and evil which has raged and continues to rage in this world. This global battle even finds expression in our individual lives. The Apostle Paul wrote: “So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me.”(Romans 7:21-23) It seems as though no one is in control. Who can save this world? I believe that God is still in control. I believe that God and good will prevail. I believe that God calls all Christians to become involved in the struggle of good against evil. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit call Christians to unceasing prayer for the world. God calls us to pray because prayer changes things. Prayer changes things because the power in prayer is the one to whom we pray. Jesus inspired the Apostle Paul to write: “I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.” (1 Timothy 2:1-4). Jesus Christ calls Christians to pray that God take control of and inspire world leaders and soften their hearts so that peace may be found, honest labor can be protected and may prosper and the wholesome fruits of life can flourish.
Jesus Christ calls his people not only to pray for peace, but also to reach out and help those who suffer as a consequence of the battle of good and evil. Jesus Christ calls his people to reach out with the peace of Christ, the Gospel, at home and abroad, one person at a time. At first, the Apostle Paul made war on the Church. He actively persecuted, arrested, imprisoned, punished Christians and even sanctioned their execution. Jesus came into his life and transformed Paul from an enemy into a friend and then into an Apostle who was the most prolific writer in the New Testament and greatest evangelist and church planter ever.
The Gospel that Paul preached declared that, we are unable to do good or overcome evil and death in our world and in our individual lives, by our own efforts. He taught that Jesus Christ overcame evil and death. Jesus overcame evil by living a perfect life and by dying a sacrificial death as our substitute, bearing our sins as he suffered and died on the cross. Jesus overcame death by his glorious resurrection. The Gospel promises forgiveness and eternal life to all who believe. The Gospel promises that, just as a seed takes hold in good soil and grows and produces a crop, the Gospel message will take hold in a repentant mind and will cause faith in God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit to grow and cause good works to flow. Jesus admonished Christians to reach out and give tangible aid to others, for in rendering this aid, we may indeed find that we rendered aid to Jesus himself. (Read Matthew 25:31-46). Through his proclamation, Paul equipped and inspired Christians of his generation, and every generation that followed, to reach out to the people around them through the preaching of the Gospel and acts of sacrificial giving. The Gospel message was always and will always be attacked by the evil in our world. In Paul’s day and the two centuries that followed the Roman Empire responded to the proclamation of the Gospel with violent persecution. However, in the end the Gospel prevailed and Christianity was at first accepted and then became the only religion of the Empire. This battle between good and evil continues in our world, and within the Church, and will cause much destruction. We Christians must therefore pray that God will take control of us so that by our words and sacrificial giving we preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Gospel that has the power to transform people from enemies into friends in this life and, to grant to all who believe, eternal life with God when God brings the global conflict between good and evil to its appointed end. Come experience the Gospel that transforms at a Church near you. At Grace we meet of worship at 9:00 and 10:30 AM every Sunday. In Christ Pastor Ed

Lane ‘a weird witchy being’ Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
If the road to a music career is paved with practise then Megan Lane should have a pretty smooth ride from this point forward. Sister of Canadian songbird Jen Lane, with brother, Jeremy Lane, releasing online, she has stories a-plenty of a family raised by music fans where toys were instruments and Christmas lists boiled down to begging for a rock ’n’ roll electric guitar. Like any formidable talent, her first songwriting masterpiece isn’t about the technique, the hours of theory, starting the blues circuit at age 12, mastering the vibrato needed, or the skill to make the guitar sound as though it too has feelings, but rather about telling her story. “I think you grow up faster when you’re faced with really heavy things like being a social outcast or having to fear for your life in certain situations,” she explained. Both her and Rae Spoon, with whom she
MEGAN Lane born to be a musician. co-wrote the first single, Someday We Will Leave This Town, off her new album, Sounding the Animal, grew up queer in small town Saskatchewan. The upbeat riff rock anthem, humorously influenced by the What Does the Fox Say? phenomenon in its video, sticks in the head like peanut butter to the roof of your mouth leaving fans a taste of its upbeat bop pop for hours.

tar sport, but I kind of out grew it as I wanted to try and experiment with lots of different structures and with songwriting,” she said. Writing 50 songs before selecting the best ones, Lane wasn’t precious with the material. The result, nevertheless, does include a song about a cabin in a woods, as one might expect, but it also hosts a hidden ghost. “I’m kind of like a weird witchy being. My great-grandma was kind of like this pretty interesting lady that owned an antique store and believed everything held energy, so she taught us to be open to these things,” she said. The album drops Aug. 22 and Lane hits Kelowna for her first appearance in years, on Aug. 28, to play Fernando’s Pub on Bernard Avenue.

Based on the premise that we humans only use 10 per cent of our brain (dolphins use more), the question asked is ‘what happens when we utilize more than the 10 per cent we use now?’ The first ‘Lucy’ was discovered in 1974 in Ethiopia and is believed to have lived 3.2 million years ago.

The 100 Foot Journey won’t outdistance Galaxy Guardians
T
here are four new movies opening this weekend but the box office winner will be the same as last week. Guardians of the sGalaxy logged a recdord-breaking August eopening and came close to being the biggest open-ing of the year. With tstrong word-of-mouth, it has a chance of beat.ing Captain America: The ,Winter Soldier as the top tmovie so far this year. e The 100 Foot Jouroney stars Hellen Mirren as the female head chef of a famous restaurant in France who reluctantly dbegins mentoring an In-dian boy whose family -owns a rival establishment, located just 100 feet away. o Director Lasse Hallström, whose impressive .resume includes What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, The Cider House Rules, Chocyolat, The Shipping News -and Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, has powerhouse producers Steven Spiel-
aged by an unprecedented onslaught of tornados. Step Up: All In is the fifth entry in the dance movie series and is more of the same, this time set in Las Vegas. While I am sure nobody is going to have anything nice to say about its story and characters, it is the young, talented and attractive dancers and impressive dance moves and set pieces that continually make these movies enjoyable to watch. Heck, it was enough to make me watch the last instalment all the way through. And the only movie that might come close to Guardians this weekend is the reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. With the blockbuster talent of Michael Bay (Transformers) producing the ability to create the pubescent reptilian warriors with computer imagery, the looks of Megan Fox and the comedic talents of Will Arnett, it will likely be a hit with an all-

It has been almost 20 years since Twister was a blockbuster hit, so the filmmakers possibly felt it was time for another tornado movie. While Twister was the story of competing storm chasers trying to be the best at collecting tornado data, Into the Storm uses the “found footage” style of filmmaking, telling the story from the point of view of storm chasers, amateur thrill seekers and the courageous residents of Silverton, a town rav-

Dirt track takes cyclists back in time The inaugural Kettle Mettle Bike Fondo Ride on Oct. 4 will challenge cyclists and showcase the historical nature and amazing scenery of the Kettle Valley Trail in the Okanagan. The Kettle Mettle Bike Race follows a dirt track that takes you back in time from Penticton to Kelowna. This 105-kilometre bike ride starts at Okanagan Lake in Penticton and will finish at the Mission sportfields complex in Kelowna.
The idea behind the Kettle Mettle Fondo is to put affordability and fun back into Fondo cycling events. After the challenging ride, cyclists can enjoy the wine festival and the Kettle Mettle After Party in Kelowna. The Kettle Valley Railway (KVR) is an abandoned railway bed that winds through south central British Columbia with grades that never exceed 2.2 per cent. But even the most radical cyclist will grip the handlebars a little
tighter crossing trestles. Long popular in Europe, gravel road races are attracting large numbers of riders looking to do something off the beaten path. Kettle Mettle organizer Dean Stanton, with Tri 1 Events, brings three decades of experience and involvement in similar sporting events as a participant and race organizer including the World Renowned Spartan Race throughout Canada and the 2009 World Police and Fire Games Triathlon.
See You at the 25th Annual Block Party!
“We wanted to organize an exciting yet challenging cycling event to draw attention to the historical Kettle Valley Railway in B.C. from Penticton to Kelowna,” said Stanton. “We plan to make Kettle Mettle an annual event.” You can register now online to participate in the Kettle Mettle Bike Fondo Ride at the website kettlemettle.ca/register.html.

▼ PET CARE
Dogs flapping their ears may mean more than just an itch
E
ar issues have always been a common problem faced by pet owners. It is a well known fact that many chronic ear abnormalities are actually a result of other internal organ diseases, hormonal imbalance or most commonly, allergies. Beside ear infection and its normal typical presentation, another abnormal outcome can arise, known as Aural Hematoma. The ear flap consists of cartilage ,small blood vessels, covered by skin and fur. When the ear is irritated, a normal reaction of pets is head shaking. When the pet shakes its head vigorously, it can often snap one or more of the blood vessels supplying the ear flap (pinna). As a result of the blood vessel breakage, blood accumulates under the ear flap skin. This pocket of blood is called in medical terms Aural Hematoma. Aural hematoma can occur in both dogs and
FURRY FRIENDS
Dr. Moshe Oz cats, but significantly more common in dogs. Aural hematoma is typically characterized by a warm, painful swelling on the inner side of the ear cartilage. Depending on its size, the swelling can be either soft or hard. The swelling typically appears acutely (all of the sudden and not in a gradual manner). Aural hematoma can only seldom heal on its own without a medical intervention. It is not recommended to leave the hematoma untreated due to few reasons. The blood pocket itself, can be a perfect medium for bacteria to overgrow, spread and cause a severe infection. The blood in the pock-
et tends to clot, its ability to dissolve and get reabsorbed to the body is very limited to not existent. Last but not least, it is important to remember that Aural hematoma, in the vast majority of cases, is secondary to a primary problem in the ear that caused the initial vigorous head shaking and scratching. If the primary ear problem is not addressed and treated, the problem will recur. There are few medical possibilities to treat Aural hematoma. If the hematoma is addressed very closed to its formation, it may be resolved by simple aspiration. However, unfortunately in most instances a short surgical procedure is required in order to treat the problem and reduce the likelihood of recurrence. Beside surgical drainage, the ear canal is tested for presence of infections, foreign body or any other irritant that led to the
head shaking. Quite commonly, an oral antibiotic is prescribed to treat and prevent infections, along with pain control medication and anti inflammatory medications. Sometimes, the ear
cartilage does not go back to its original shape and scar tissue in a shape of wrinkling occurs. Treating the hematoma as close as possible to its formation, reduced the chances of any sec-
ondary complication that may arise. Being diligent, and addressing any ear issues, that may manifest by repeated scratching, and or head shaking, before the hematoma even forms

First in Canada to reach WELL certification
Barry Gerding Editor The Collett Manor multi-use development in Kelowna has become Canada’s first WELL certified project. Located steps away from Kelowna General Hospital, the Collet Manor project was designed with the aim of seamlessly combining hospitality with health care under one roof. “In our mission to integrate hospitality into health care, we discovered Delos, which pioneered the WELL Building Standard,” said Alana Marrington, the entrepreneur behind the Collett Manor project. “They shared our philosophy, to introduce scientifically validated features to positively impact health, vitality and bring an overall sense of relaxation into the spaces we live, work and visit.” The Delos WELL certification process sets building standard requirements in seven categories—air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort and mind that are validated through onsite post-occupancy performance assessments. Those standards are administered by the International WELL Building Institute based in New York City, and third-party certified by the Green Building Certification Institute, the same organization that provides certification for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Design). Some of the Collett Manor project features that passed the WELL building standards included flexible wall systems that transform units from oneto two-bedrooms, warm board
The Atrium within Collett Manor will feature soaring ceilings and an abundance of natural light, as depicted in the rendering above. radiant heating, an innovative flooring material that deactivates bacteria and harmful substances, technologically advanced design that includes connectivity to each unit, including remote door locking/unlocking, landscaping that is completely edible and non-toxic, and luxury design elements such as antimicrobial Corian countertops and touchless faucets. The accreditation for Marrington’s development marks a highpoint for a project that is the result of a decade of passionate research to create a unique commercial and residential space, one that offers a rental pool of units for families and medical professionals in need of close access to KGH while visiting the city. “Collett Manor was founded on our experiences caring for family and friends as they moved through the medical system. We focused on providing a place to stay, short term, a home away from home,” Marrington explained. “That’s why we designed a space
that adapts to life. Homes are designed to encourage positive and healing energies, whether you are there for a short term or permanent residency. Commercial space also benefits from the same healthy details as the residential.” Finding that right mix has presented some challenges for Marrington, beginning with the City of Kelowna. She had made several applications for zoning stipulations to allow the project to proceed, and got nowhere. “I think the city really didn’t know what to do with us for the longest time,” said Marrington. The sixth application saw Marrington get assistance from then consultant Andrew Bruce, the former assistant planning director for the city who is now head of Melcor’s local residential development planning. He saw how her vision made sense. It evolved into an 88,000 squarefoot living space on four levels with underground parking, the first floor and a half dedicated to commercial space with a particular focus on health products and
services. The city approved new Health District zoning for the project to replace the previous Multiple Unit Residential zoning. Some units would be retained by Marrington as part of the rental pool concept and the other units offered for sale. She also met with local non profits to seek ways how these rental units could be beneficial to patients here seeking medical care—from cancer treatments to heart surgery and other chronic ailments. “I think the timing was right for us to come forward with this proposal as everyone was beginning to realize what a huge entity an upgraded regional hospital was evolving into,” she said. “If you look at other major hospitals around North America, you see how any major medical hub like that has services and accommodations right across the street, a need we felt our project could help fill in Kelowna.” The passion for this idea hits close to home for Marrington, dating back to when her parents, living in the Lower Mainland at

the time, had to venture up north to help her mom’s brother after he suffered a stroke. “We had to go up and help take care of him because he was a bachelor,” Marrington recalled. “While he remained in hospital, we felt that experience of trying to support a family member… hotel rooms are not the best, eating out all the time isn’t (very healthy) and the hospital parking tickets begin to add up. It’s very costly to be in that situation and not conducive to healing—either for the caregiver or the patient. It is stressful.” As the years went on, Marrington’s mother passed away, and in the aftermath of that she and her father decided to embark on their unique development project, buying a block of properties which today are the foundation for Collett Manor. “In six months we had purchased all five houses and we moved up here, my dad along with my husband, my son and I. From there we began to figure out and design a project. By 2005, GTA Architects had a
design in place for the outside of the building which was inspired by the original Collett Manor pioneer house that still sits on the property,” she said. “From there it was coming up with an interior design plan that we continually tried to make better…we wanted to make this into something where we could say we would be proud to live here.” The search to achieve their design goals led Marrington on a worldwide odyssey looking at different products and suppliers, many which weren’t necessarily familiar to Canadian home building. While KGH is not directly involved in Collett Manor, she said the Interior Health board, in particular chair Norm Embree, has always been positive about what she was trying to do with Collett Manor. “I always remember Norm Embree saying that Interior Health is not in the business of offering (accommodation) for people to stay. Their focus is on providing medical care for the patient. But he said anything that helps alleviate the stress for doctors, nurses, caregivers and patients would make a lot of sense.” As well, Marrington says there are more medical or support workers visiting KGH to work on a short-term contact, or participate in an instructional course or program, particularly with the UBC teaching hospital aspect now in place. “We think there is a need to provide a rental pool to help accommodate people connected to the hospital,” she said.

A mortgage broker will find you the lowest rate and the product best suited to your specific needs. In addition you can be pre-approved up to four months prior to your mortgage coming available for renewal. This is the best of both
worlds for you—a pre-approval guarantees you the rate for up to 120 days and if the rate goes lower during that period you get the lower rate. A win win situation for you.

If you choose to leave your mortgage as is there is no

Is your mortgage renewing? Each mortgage has a specific term, meaning you were guaranteed a rate for a set period of time. When a term is coming to a close, most banks will send you a mortgage renewal notice. Mortgage renewals are one of the most neglected decisions made during the life of a mortgage. Many homeowners stay with their existing mortgage lender because they believe it is too time consuming to shop around for a better rate. Rates

Its heritage significance dates back to the home’s association with Horace Carlisle C. Collett (18811975), a businessman who was active in the community and played an important role in conserving Kelowna’s history. Collett, in partnership with his brother, founded Collett Bros. Livery Stable. Later, he was the manager of the Belgo Land Co., and of Kelowna Land and Orchard. He then moved to Okanagan Mission, where he was the real estate manager for Okanagan Loan and Investment Trust. He was keenly involved in the Okanagan Historical Society and an active promoter of the restoration of the Father Pandosy Mission.

The Collett House, which will be incorporated into the Collett Manor development, is a large two and a half storey wood-frame American Foursquare residence with a hipped roof, set on a large lot at the corner of Pandosy Street and Royal Avenue, built in 1913. The Foursquare style was common during the Edwardian era as a rational expression of modern needs and conveniences. The exterior cladding reflects the pervasive influence of the Arts and Crafts movement that signaled loyalty to Britain and traditional values. The house is distinguished by its broad hipped roof, central hipped roof dormer and full-width open front veranda.

Three Bedroom Family Home In this attractive family home, all the bedrooms are located on the second floor, with the living area – in particular, a spacious great-room complex that spans the home’s entire length – on the ground floor. Entry is through a covered porch into a foyer, with the great room to the right and a coat closet to the left, tucked into the angle made by the L-shaped staircase to the second floor. The great room, dining area and kitchen flow into one another, so the gas fireplace in the great room can be enjoyed in the other rooms as well. Large windows in the great room look out to the front garden and windows flank the fireplace, allowing in lots of natural light. The kitchen is separated from the dining area by a work island, and features an efficient L-shaped counter configuration. The window over the double sink looks out to a patio and the back garden beyond. Access to the patio is through a doorway near the pantry. Also on the main floor is the laundry room, which includes coat hooks for family apparel. Access to the single garage allows the laundry room to double as a mud room. Adjacent is a den, with a window looking out to the back garden, and a two-piece powder room. Upstairs, the master suite overlooks the front garden, and includes a walk-in closet as well as a three-piece en-suite. The secondary bedrooms overlook the back garden and share a three-piece bathroom. A linen closet and triangular display case, perfect for collectibles, complete the layout on this floor. Exterior finishes include horizontal siding and contrasting vertical board-and batten siding, wooden shingles in the gables, pilasters with stone accents and painted trim. This home measures 32 feet

Kelowna paddler sets sights on world gold Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Whether it’s in an outrigger canoe or on top of a stand up paddle board, there aren’t many people who can move as fast or powerfully across a stretch of water as Leanne Stanley. Proof of that isn’t hard to find as the Kelowna woman already has nine world championship medals to her credit in outrigger, and many other provincial awards in stand up events. Now Stanley has aspirations of becoming the world’s fastest female in an outrigger, while also cracking into the top 10 competitors in the world in stand up paddling. A member of the Canadian national outrigger team, Stanley has designed a 20-month training program which she hopes will pave the way to gold at the IVF World Outrigger Sprint Cham-
pionships in 2016 in Australia. Stanley has knocked on the door of a world title before, finishing fourth in 2008 and third in 2010. In 2012, feeling poised to make the climb all the way to the top, she was involved in a car accident in Kelowna three weeks before worlds in Calgary. Despite the injuries sustained and competing in less than peak physical shape, she managed a fourth-place showing. “I absolutely feel like I can make a serious run at it in 2016,” she said. Stanley, 33, who moved to the Okanagan in 2011, is currently in search of sponsorship and supporters to help her achieve her goal. “I am very excited about the opportunities, possibilities and future of the sport of both outrigger and stand up paddling,” said Stanley, “and it is my hope that my community, my province and

numerous wins to her credit this season, includ-
ing taking the women’s open C1 title at the Canadian National Outrigger Sprint Championships this spring at Burnaby Lake. At home, Stanley is head coach of the Kelowna Outrigger Club. She hopes to grow the Kelowna Paddle Centre through the creation of a junior program for kids and youth. As a spin-off, she also hopes to grow the sport of outrigger and SUP racing in the Okanagan and across B.C. In short, paddling pretty much defines who Leanne Stanley is. “I’ve always been water baby and I just love being out there,” she said. “Paddling runs my life. It makes me happy.” For more information on Stanley and her world championship quest, visit leannestanley.com.

Crickard joins Kelowna Rockets as assistant/goalies coach Travis Crickard is the newest member of the Kelowna Rockets’ coaching staff. The WHL club this week hired the 26-yearold native of St. John’s as an assistant/goalie coach for the 2014-15 season. Crickard fills the vacancy left by Kim Dillabaugh who resigned this summer to take on a full-time position with the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings. Crickard was an assistant/goalie coach for the Ottawa 67’s of the Ontario Hockey League last season and also spent two years as the head coach of the Ottawa 67’s midget AAA hockey team after his playing career was
Travis Crickard over. “We were looking for someone who was willing to take on the goaltending duties but who could also do other coaching duties for us as well and Travis fit the bill,” said Rockets;’ head coach Dan Lambert. “I’m very excited to add
Travis to our staff. He’s a young guy and he’s very open-minded.” Outgoing Rockets assistant coach Kim Dillabaugh was instrumental in the hiring process and Lambert said the club is happy to be able to add Crickard to the staff. “Travis and Kim had some long conversations about goaltending and the position and how it’s evolved over the last five or 10 years,” said Lambert. “Things have really changed and I think Kim was really happy with what he heard from Travis.” The Rockets will begin the season with a new look behind the bench. Lambert has re-
placed outgoing head coach Ryan Huska (Aridondack Flames) while alumni Kris Mallette was hired as an assistant earlier this summer and will be on the bench with Lambert. Crickard’s other duties will include video coach and he says he’s excited for the opportunity. “It’s definitely an exciting challenge that I’m really looking forward,” said Crickard. “I’m honoured to be part of such a world class organization. In speaking with Dan I feel like we will have a great working relationship. We share a lot of the same ideas and he seems open to the ideas that I bring to the table.”
The Rockets training camp gets underway with its rookie camp beginning Aug. 20. Kelowna plays its first WHL exhibition game of the season Aug. 30 vs. Kamloops at Prospera Place before hosting the Blazers Sept. 20 in the team’s season-opener.
Merkley on Team Canada
Nick Merkley
Nick Merkley will wear his country’s colours next week in Breclav, Czech Republic and Piestany, Slovakia. The 17-year-old centre for the Kelowna Rockets was one of 22 players named this week to Team Canada for the
Ivan Hlinka Memorial Under-18 tournament, from Aug. 11 to 16. Merkley is coming off a stellar debut season with the Rockets, as he was named the WHL’s rookie of the year. The Calgary native scored 25 goals and added 33 assists in 66
games during the regular season. He then added 17 points in 14 playoff games. Canada has won the annual summer under-18 tournament six consecutive years, and 18 of 23 tournaments since 1991. Canada will face the Czech Republic in a pre-tournament game in Breclav on Saturday, Aug. 9 before opening the tournament against Switzerland on Monday, Aug. 11. The top two teams from each group advance to the semifinals on Friday, Aug. 15, with the gold medal game scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 16.

Host Athletics finish 3rd at Bantam AAA provincials
U
Seeded seventh heading into provincials, the host Okanagan Athletics proved themselves worthy of a better standing among the best bantam teams in B.C. The host A’s scrapped and fought their way into the playoffs at the B.C. Bantam AAA Baseball Championship last weekend at Edith Gay Park, before finishing in a tie for third place overall out of 10 teams. “All the hard work the guys put in this season paid off,” said A’s coach Jon Pryzbl. “They peaked at the right time and had a really good weekend of baseball.” After losing to White
Rock in their opening game, the A’s bounced back with a 5-3 victory over Victoria. Then after an 11-1 loss to Vancouver Minor, the A’s faced a must win situation against Richmond to make it into the playoff round. Okanagan delivered with a 12-2 victory to advance to the semifinals. In the semis, the A’s came up short in an 8-5 loss against Abbotsford, but their coach said it wasn’t due to a lack of effort. “(Abbotsford) took the lead early,” said Pryzbl. “We crept back into it and didn’t give up, but couldn’t quite get it done.

UBCO Heat’s Zanatta earns coaching upgrade Prior to the start of UBC Okanagan’s inaugural season of Canada West soccer this fall, Heat head coach Dante Zanatta added another title to his coaching portfolio. In July, Zanatta earned his national ‘A’ coaching license—the highest coaching level attainable in Canada— through the governing body for soccer, the Canadian Soccer Association. A rigorous and highly involved course, Dante started the ‘A’ license program two years ago with 24 candidates, and after putting in countless hours of work, he finished the two-year course on time with just three of his peers. With his ‘A’ License, Zanatta now has the opportunity to work with the national team and indicates he would like to

program,” says Zanatta. “It will allow me to have opportunities with the national teams and their training, but right now it helps build UBC Heat into a program that can vie for national championships. “It’s new information, it’s validating things that we are doing, and it’s making that level the standard.” Referencing the recently completed World Cup as an example of how having highly trained coaches can influence a country’s soccer prowess, Dante explains: “Look at some of the stats, a country like Germany who have the UEFA ‘A’ license, has four or five times the numbers (top level coaches) of what England has and Germany is winning World
Cups and the English aren’t.” Meanwhile, Zanatta and the Heat men’s soccer team begin their Canada West journey on the road with two games against another former member of the CCAA in
the UNBC Timberwolves on Sept. 6 and 7 in Prince George. The first taste of Canada West action on the Nonis Turf in Kelowna will see the Heat host conference action on Friday, September 12 against the Fraser Valley Cascades.

In 20112012, the Red Deer Optimist Chiefs won their first Telus Cup and then proceeded to graduate 19 players. With just one returning member in 20122013, the Chiefs claimed their second consecutive national championship. After the weekend, Rockets staff hopes to have their numbers down between 30 to 35 players. After the weekend, most players will hit the road for their respective junior camps and who comes back is anyone’s guess. “I’ve been at this for five seasons now, and it never fails. If you think a player is coming back, they crack a junior squad, and if you are convinced a player will graduate, they sometimes fall back to you for whatever reason.” said Michaud. The Rockets won’t gather as a group again until early September when they play host to their annual exhibition ice-breaker event from the 5th to 7th at the Capital News Centre. 5

After a summer vacation of sorts, the stars of Big West Wrestling are anxious to get back into the ring. The Crazy From the Heat show will be staged Aug. 15 at Lake City Bowling and Billiards. Not only will there be a No Holds Barred Match for the Big West Championship, but the Sixth Annual Rutland Rumble is scheduled—an overthe-top Battle Royale style of match, where two competitors start out, and then another joins the fray every two minutes until a winner is determined. Said winner will re-
ceive not only the prestigious Rutland Rumble trophy, but an opportunity to fight for the Big West Title, anytime and anywhere. Kelowna’s own Mad Dog will enter Lake City as the reigning Big West Champion, having defeated the monstrous Cremator Von Slasher in Osoyoos at the end of March. But an ankle injury has kept Mad Dog from defending the title; an injury that was sustained at the hands of Rigor Von Slasher, whom Mad Dog faces for the title on August 15.

Dressed up salad is the ideal hot summer meal
I
t’s summertime, and the living is easy. Well, actually the living has been kind of hot, hot, hot here in Kelowna the past little while, but that’s another reason to try and keep things as easy as possible. One place we don’t need more heat is in the kitchen. If you’re like me, a steamy stove is the last appliance you want to operate in hot weather. So, over-heated reader, step away from the stove and let me share a few ideas for easy summer eating. First, salad is your friend. In fact, it’s your best friend in the summer. But forget those basic rabbit food salads and make yours with gusto. Make it robust. Make it a meal unto itself. Start by chopping a package of herbed extra-firm tofu into small cubes, then marinate them in a little bit of your favourite salad dressing. Add a variety of lettuces, like the ubiquitous iceberg lettuce for a little crunch, dark leafy romaine for a nice dollop of antioxidants, and add a few leaves of arugula for its slightly peppery taste. Next, feel free to go wild with cherry tomatoes, diced cucumbers, vibrantly coloured bell peppers, slivered red cabbage, and sliced red onions. To make this a substantial meal, add a can of any beans you like (chick peas or kidney beans are always great choices) and an ear of fresh, raw corn niblets. That’s right, I said raw corn. If you haven’t tried raw corn niblets freshly
EATING RIGHT
Beverley Edwards-Haines shaved off the cob, promise me you’ll do so at your earliest opportunity. They’re delicious. Lastly, flavour your gorgeous salad lightly with your favourite dressing. Oh, and don’t forget to add some good, crusty, whole-grain bread. Mash an avocado and spread it lavishly on the bread. This meal is totally yum, not to mention outrageously good for you. I’m talking fibre, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients and other big health words. And as a bonus there is no working over a hot, steamy stove. Need a nice, tall, cold one? Try not to make it alcoholic. Rather, what your body craves in heated weather is pure water. In our current super-heated Okanagan weather, your body needs even more water than usual.
Aim to drink enough pure water (not juice, not soft drinks, not milk) to keep your urine pale. That’s likely going to mean around six to 10 cups of water, depending on your weight, height, and activity level. Yum up your water by adding chunks of refreshing lemon, lime, orange, fresh ginger, and fragrant fresh mint. Summer is also the perfect time to up your intake of all kinds of succulent, juice-running-downyour-face fruits. And, what better place than the Okanagan to hand-pick your own fruit at the numerous orchards that dot the Kelowna landscape? Now, that’s good summer fun. Eating light makes summer living nice and easy. And, it will keep you nice and light, too, weight-wise. Cheers to a great summer and your continued good health.

TOTA develops new tourism brand Major stakeholders in the rugged, scenic North Thompson Valley are partnering to create a compelling new tourism brand, website and mobile digital strategy aimed at increasing the number of visitors from Europe, Australia and across Canada. The five stakeholders—spanning the North Thompson river valley and Highway 5 corridor from just north of Kamloops to the Alberta border near Jasper—have joined in a pilot project with the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA) to have expert resource people create brand messaging and a strong online presence that will attract more travellers to visit and stay in the area. The project will be funded by the five stakeholder groups, with matching support from the provincial government’s tourism agency, Destination BC, through its Community Tourism Opportunities program. The stakeholders include Tourism Sun Peaks, the Lower North Thompson Tourism Society, Tourism Wells Gray, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District and
Tourism Valemount. Project leader Simone Carlysle-Smith, TOTA’s community development specialist, says the project flows from a Tourism Plan prepared for the North Thompson Valley more than a year ago. She notes that document was the first area plan within the Thompson Okanagan to align with the 10year Thompson Okanagan Regional Tourism Strategy, finalized in November 2012. Carlysle-Smith adds that this branding and digital-strategy project is the latest in a series of community tourism pilot projects carried out in the Thompson Okanagan region in recent years which have incorporated the principles of the Regional Tourism Strategy and have included the Canadian Tourism Commission’s sophisticated research-based tourism marketing program, EQ (Explorer Quotient). This program helps develop marketing initiatives based on the potential visitor’s social values and travel motivations. These projects have been undertaken by TOTA and stakeholders in
the Similkameen Valley, Enderby, Summerland and Boundary Country. “Each of these projects has had a somewhat different mix of goals, but each has incorporated the Regional Strategy and EQ,” Carlysle-Smith said. “We’re so excited to have had such a diverse range of projects. “We now have a robust toolkit that can help almost any type of community in our region to take their tourism branding and marketing to the next level.” The project will develop a brand, a website and a digital strategy that will focus on outstanding destinations and activities that exemplify the authentic Canadian outdoors summer and winter experiences that visitors can have in the North Thompson Valley. The website will tell the North Thompson Valley story through the profile of key destination experiences and the unique eco-system. The site will provide direct links to the main tourism website of each of the five groups sponsoring this joint marketing project.

BAUMGARTEN, PHILIP
SHEILA McKay (nee EDINGER) Nov. 9, 1963-Aug. 2, 2008
Our lives go on without you, But nothing is the same, We have to hide our heartaches, When someone speaks your name. Sad are the hearts that love you, Silent the tears that fall, Living our hearts without you, Is the hardest part of all. You are so missed. Yvonne, Jeff and Jordan, Dad & Mom
In Memoriam Gifts
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Philip Baumgarten on Sunday August the 3rd. Philip passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family after fighting a courageous battle of cancer since November 2013. Born September 7th, 1938 in Rosetown, Saskatchewan. Philip was the oldest of six children. He is predeceased by his mother and father, as well as his youngest sister, Marylou. He is survived by his loving and dedicated wife of 48 years, Karin, son Roger (Miu) daughter Ramona (David), granddaughters Nicole and Natalie and their father Serge, and his brothers Lloyd (Ethel), Gene (Chrissy), Joe and Denny (Elaine). Philip was a dedicated soldier, retiring as Sergeant Major in 1989 after 32 years of service. He served a number of tours which included Vietnam, Cyprus, and Germany, and ended his career teaching at Royal Roads Military College in Victoria. He and Karin moved to Kelowna in 2000. Philip will be remembered lovingly by his family as a man with a big heart, a love of classic country music, and an unwavering devotion to his family and his career. Our family would like to express our utmost thanks and appreciation to the all members of the Palliative team, the Cancer agency and Dr. Du Plessis for the compassionate care and enormous support that they offered throughout his battle, and a very special thank you to David Kyle, his friend and nurse during his last weeks.

(HOPE, BC) GILBERT FRANCIS JACOBS
Feb 17, 1930 – Aug 1, 2014 It is with sadness but trust in the Risen Lord that we say goodbye to Gilbert Jacobs who died suddenly of a stroke on the morning of August 1. Gil is survived by his wife, Mary Lou; and his children, Mike (Kim), Bernadine, Kate (Jon) and daughter -in-law Shawneen; and his grandchildren, Brandon, Erin, Kevin, Craig and Beckett. Sadly predeceased by his daughter, Mary and his son, Frank. Gil was born in Heisler AB, and grew up in Summerland BC where some of his best friends still live. Gil graduated in 1953 with a BASc in Civil Engineering from the University of British Columbia. He began his career with Alberta Highways before joining Emil Anderson Construction in 1954. Gil left his mark on many major projects around the province including the original Vancouver Island Highway, the original Sea to Sky Highway, the Fraser Canyon and tunnel projects in Oregon, Jordan River and Tumbler Ridge. He was a highly skilled engineer, extraordinary leader and industry pioneer. Gil became President of Emil Anderson Construction in 1976 and led the company for almost 30 years as it diversified into Highway Maintenance, Land Development and Housing. Gil was always a supporter of his church and community with numerous churches, church halls and Westminster Abbey in Mission BC being the beneficiary of his building and fundraising talents. Gil also played a major role in the initial building of the Hope Golf Course and subsequent improvement projects in its 50-year history. He was a two-term alderman for the Town of Hope, Past Chair of the BC and Western Canada Roadbuilders Association, CCA Director and a member of many other construction industry initiatives and committees. Gil loved sports having been a top high school baseball pitcher and was an avid supporter of the Hope Swim Club and many Hope Secondary basketball teams. He enjoyed golfing, skiing with his family at the Apex Cabin, salmon fishing, and duck hunting with his pals on the frozen prairies. We would like to thank Fraser Hope Lodge and all his caregivers for their excellent care during his 10 month stay. Special thanks to Pinky Ortilla his primary caregiver this last 30 months. A Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, August 9, at 11 AM, at Our Lady of Good Hope Church, 671 Water Ave, Hope BC In lieu of flowers, Memorial Donations may be made in memory of Gilbert to the Alzheimer Society of BC or to the Fraser Hope Lodge.

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.

Basis of civil lawsuit not aided by need to hide injuries I
shared my “black arts” tactical advice last week for anyone pursuing an ICBC claim, simply to live your life. My advice might have come as a bit of a surprise, coming as it did from a personal injury lawyer. I think that the role of a personal injury lawyer might be misunderstood. My role is not to end up with the largest settlement or court judgment possible. If it was, I would be giving the direct opposite advice. The longer you stay away from work, the more income you lose and the more likely you will lose income in the future. The longer you delay returning to home and yard duties, the more will be spent for help with those tasks now and into the future. e Holding back from your activities and social outings will increase the chance that you will deevelop depression that will further disable you. g The more signifi”cant your losses, the lareger the amount of money rthat will be required to ecompensate you for those losses, and therefore the bigger your claim. - If the goal was to maximize your claim, then we would achieve that goal by maximizing your losses. d
ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott I would be discouraging your from, rather than encouraging you to “live your life.” The thing is, you are no further ahead with that bigger claim. In fact, you end up significantly behind. One way you end up behind is that your life is more miserable than it might have been had you been encouraged to “live your life.” Another way is pure dollars and cents—you recover only two-thirds of each dollar of compensation for your losses because your lawyer is paid the other one-third. The more your losses the more you end up “in the hole.” A lawyer owes his or her allegiance solely to the best interest of the client. I don’t see my role as a personal injury lawyer as ending up with the biggest settlement or court judgment possible because that is in my best interest (biggest fee), not in my client’s best interests. Rather, I see the role
of personal injury lawyers as doing whatever we can to facilitate as full and speedy a recovery as possible, and as early and fully a return to “normal life” as can be achieved. We then require ICBC or whatever other defending insurance company to pay fair financial compensation for the losses that could not be avoided. Will ICBC or another defending insurance company try to use your early return to work, or early return to other activities, against you when negotiating the value of your claim? Of course they will. By following my “live your life” advice, the seriousness of your injuries and level of ongoing pain, as measured through the lens of an ICBC surveillance camera, might make you appear much less injured than you really are. The surveillance camera doesn’t follow you home after soldiering through a day working through pain, and see you laying on the couch with a heating pad instead of spending quality time with your family, for example. Will that surveillance camera view of your case leave you with less than fair financial compensation for your loss? Heck,
no. We live in a real life world of relationships. The people around you are witnessing the fully reality, not the snippet that can be captured on video. Your immediate family, co-workers, supervisors and those you struggled to maintain your social relation-
ships with will all see how hard you have struggled and the true “behind the scenes” impacts. Your medical team— i.e. your doctor, therapists, chiropractor and specialists—are all witnessing your efforts to do your very best to recover. By following my “live your life” advice
you will build credibility, keep your losses to a minimum, and there will be plenty of evidence that your personal injury lawyer can use to ensure that

Jill Setah sewed a traditional aboriginal outfit for her son to wear at a local gathering about 10 years ago. Creating that regalia was Setah’s first foray into fashion design. Over the past decade the mother of four has honed her skills by designing more outfits and enrolling in a fashion design and merchandising course at Kelowna’s Centre

for Arts and Technology. Now she is a month away from seeing her clothes on a New York runway. Setah was given an invitation for Couture Fashion Week after her collection of 11 pieces was noticed at National Aboriginal Fashion Week in Saskatoon last month. “It’s a huge honour,” she said. Setah, who is from the Chilcotin Nation and currently lives on Westbank
First Nation land, was one of four designers picked from National Aboriginal Fashion Week. Her clothes will be presented at a fashion show, held in the Broadway Ballroom of Crowne Plaza, Times Square Manhattan. “I’m expecting it to be a culture shock…I hope to meet with buyers and other designers.” The clothes Setah designs pay homage to aboriginal tradition while remaining contemporary.
“I want my clothes to be elegant yet sexy…form-fitting, but not revealing,” said Setah. “It’s First Nations inspired, but it’s not overwhelming.” The local fashion designer is now attempting to raise $5,000 to cover the expenses associated with participating in Couture Fashion Week.

acy to import cocaine and conspiracy to traffic for the 2010 offence. Convicted of the same charges was Salvador Ascencio Chavez, 47, from Mexico, who at the time of the crime operated under the alias Victor Perez Rodriguez. Tariq Mohammed Aslam, 36, of Surrey, B.C. was convicted of possession and the intent to traffic, but found not guilty of conspiring to import drugs.
Montgomery and Aslam won’t be sentenced until next month, but Chavez was sentenced to 13 years after the verdict was rendered. It was a significantly lesser sentence than what Crown Counsel Neil Cobb asked for. He’d argued for a prison term of two decades long, less time served. “One cannot deny that the scale and scope of this offence contributes to the (problems) facing every
community in Canada,” Cobb told the court. By trying to unleash 97 kilograms of cocaine on Canadians, Chavez directly “contributed to the social ills and miseries that are an unfortunate reality of Canadian society,” he added. Defence lawyer Karen Molle argued for a sentence in the area of eight to 12 years, in comparison not-

It’s unclear what Crown will request for Montgomery, but he was convicted on the same charges as Chavez. This week’s proceedings marked the final stages of a legal process that’s been in the works for nearly four years. The failed drug smuggling scheme first came to the attention of RCMP in September 2010, when an enormous piece of farm equipment of dubious working order arrived at the Canadian border, by way of Argentina then
Miami. The Canadian border officer was working in the cargo area at Vancouver Airport in 2010 when she received a list of the goods entering Canada that day. A heavy fruit-grinder from the south of South America was considered unusual, so she requested a secondary inspection. On Sept. 22, they used a tiny video camera to look within the grinder and discovered the cocaine. Inside the 2,300-kilogram machine, Montgomery and Chavez had concealed 97.5 kilograms of cocaine, which had an estimated street value somewhere in the area of $3.5-million and $3.9-million, the
court heard Wednesday. The aim of the men was to spread it out between Vancouver and the Okanagan. From there, the authorities subbed in a fake substance for the cocaine, and acted out an elaborate plan to follow the grinder to its owners and watch them along the way. The three men were seen in various ways doing everything from picking up the grinder to transporting it to a location in Merritt to remove the drugs. At the grinder’s final location, audio equipment picked up conversations that indicated that they knew what they were looking for and what they

would do with it once they figured out how to extract it from the machine. What the trio didn’t account for, however, was the violet dye that the police had set inside to mark those who handled the product inside. It left splatters everywhere, and the men tracked it into their homes on their clothes and it stained their hands. Evidence of the dye was visible at the time of their arrest. On Oct. 4, 2010 Montgomery was arrested at his West Kelowna home. Warrants were issued for Chavez and Aslam who were arrested a week later in California, apparently headed for Mexico. Montgomery, father of two, is out on bail currently being treated for a tumour on his spine. He’s scheduled for a medical procedure before his sentencing.

Due to the Smith Creek forest fire, the Westside Food Bank had to postpone its annual food drive. Now everyone is asked to bring donations this weekend, Aug. 9 and 10 to Walmart. “We had a number of our volunteers evacuated from their homes,” said food bank manager Lenetta Parry. “At first we thought we would cancel the event altogether, however, we
are feeling the pressure to replace the thousands of pounds of food and cash we typically would have raised over that weekend in July and therefore have rescheduled the event to take place this weekend,” Parry said. Volunteers will be on hand both days to collect donations from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Step Up: All In is the fifth entry in the dance movie series and is more of the same, this time set in Las Vegas.
