Neighbours save woman, dog from Paynter Rd. house fire Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Nicole Hamelin is offering her thanks to a few men responsible for saving her mother from a house fire on Paynter Road Monday morning. Hamelin’s mother was sleeping in her bedroom when

three men began knocking on her window. “A (few) guys actually knocked on her window, saying, ‘Your house is on fire, you need to get out of the house,’” said Hamelin. The men proceeded to help her and her dog escape through the bedroom window at the

back of the house. “She’s OK—no injuries, which is good,” said Hamelin. “My dad was at work at the time…so it’s kind of better now that he’s here, but they’re both definitely in shock.” Hamelin said her parents also have a pet cat that managed to escape on its own.

Lionel Bateman, captain with West Kelowna Fire Rescue, said the two-storey wood frame constructed home was fully involved when firefighters arrived just before 9 a.m. “Crews hit it pretty fast and pretty hard. We were able to knock it down quick,” said Bateman, who added every-

one was out of the house by the time crews arrived. “The roof and attic space is damaged pretty good. The inside is mostly smoke and water (damaged).” The total West Kelowna Fire Rescue response included two engines and six firefighters.

Bateman said the cause of the fire is still under investigation. From the photos Hamelin has seen, she said it appears as though flames may have been coming from the kitchen area at the northeast side of the house. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

Ongoing forest fire danger reflected by closure of local parks Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

About every metre along Knox Mountain Drive, and often even closer, there is a cigarette butt laying in the tin-

der-dry grass. It’s worse at the first lookout, where fresh butts surround the 2003 firestorm commemorative sign, which sits against the dusty, golden backdrop of the hill, screaming

fire season to anyone from the area. With a clean sightline to Peachland—where a carelessly discarded smoke is believed to have caused the 2012 Trepanier Creek Fire, levelling 1

four houses and several outbuildings—the butts would be galling to any of the concerned neighbours who keenly watch over this park; although, for the most part, the power-hikers, walkers, moun-

tain bikers and trail runners still frequenting the trail never slow their pace enough to notice. Closing the park to vehicular traffic doesn’t target the regular user, but rather the tourists and

sight-seeing looky-loos keen to take a gander at this fair city from the comfort of a temperature-controlled environment. “It’s the volume of traffic,” said Blair Stewart, City of Kelowna urban

forestry supervisor. “…There are a number of fires started in our province by people every year.”

Downtown Kelowna hosts a Block Party The Downtown Kelowna Association hosted its annual Block Party last Saturday. Bernard Avenue was closed off to traffic and the street turned into an outdoor fun centre with sidewalks sales, fun activities for the kids and live entertainment.

Photos by Alistair Waters THE 25TH ANNUAL Downtown Kelowna Block Party on Bernard Avenue (above) was a popular spot for many on Saturday morning. Shoppers Chelsea McIlvride (left) and Robyn Cameron check out goods at the Turtle Island Gallery stand, while (below) Mariah Jarvis, 8, took to the track to try out the pedal-car circuit set up along Pandosy Street as part of the kids entertainment.

THERE WAS plenty of entertainment for the many who turned out under sunny skies to enjoy the Downtown Kelowna Block Party on Bernard Avenue Saturday, as two stages were set up featuring music most of the day.

Kelowna’s North End turns into magnet for future growth Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna’s mayor says while the current focus of downtown redevelopment has been in the commercial core on and around Bernard Avenue, future

development will likely be north of the downtown area. Walter Gray, speaking at Monday’s city council meeting, said the opening of a new B.C. Tree Fruits fruit market on Vaughn Avenue Saturday was just

the start. Plans are also in the works for a new farmers’ market development across the street on property formerly owned by B.C. Tree Fruit and a new brewery and a cidery, both planned for the area. Peller Estates has already renovated the former winery home of Calona Wines on Richter Street and the city is planning to build a large new RCMP detachment on Clement Avenue. “I believe the next council will see the focus of downtown development shift to north of (the commercial area of) downtown,” said Gray. Coun. Andre Blanleil said he has noticed a marked increase in the number of people downtown since the $14 million refurbishment of Bernard Avenue was completed last month. “Downtown appears to be a place people now want to be,” he said at the same meeting. While the summer months are typically busy

Local man hurt in backroads crash A Kelowna man is in critical condition following a crash on area backroads. Mounties responded to a report of a single vehicle roll over collision on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. with serious injuries on Forest Service Road, which is located near Goudie Forest Service Road. “The driver and sole occupant of the Jeep CH, a 49-year-old Kelowna man, was airlifted from the scene and transported to Kelowna General Hospital where he remains in serious condition, said Const. Jesse O’Donaghey. “At this time police are continuing to investigate this crash to determine the causal factors. The initial investigation suggests that alcohol is not being considered a contributing factor.” Anyone who may have witnessed the crash, and have not yet spoken with police, is asked to contact Const. Sheldon Herman with the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300.

▼ LAND CLAIMS

Province facing further court action The Okanagan Nation Alliance has filed legal action against the Province of B.C., which will directly challenge the much criticized B.C. treaty process. “This lawsuit should come as no surprise to the province,” said Grand Chief Stewart Phillip. “The B.C. Treaty Process is a broken system that fails to recognize established legal principles, traditional protocols and our title and rights.

“By this lawsuit, we intend to put the province’s pattern of dishonourable and unlawful conduct before the court.” The ONA’s legal action resulted from the province’s decision to sign an “incremental treaty agreement” with the Ktunaxa Nation Council to transfer approximately 241 hectares of land near Nakusp in the Arrow Lakes area, as part of an early transfer of lands that will form part of

the final treaty. The province did not consult with the ONA before signing the agreement, despite the fact that area includes important village sites, hunting grounds and cultural heritage sites for the ONA communities and their members. “The province doesn’t have the right to simply give away our title and rights,” said Phillip. “Overriding our Title and rights to enter into an

agreement with another First Nation is no way to achieve reconciliation.” The ONA made the decision to file the legal action after attempting for over a year to resolve the issue directly with the province. “We offered the province a chance to rectify the situation through a process of collaborative, respectful engagement, but the province rejected this path,” said Phillip, “The province has

shown us that it is not serious about resolving this issue, so we are taking action in court to protect our title and rights for our people and communities.” The ONA is made up of the Lower Simikameen Band, Okanagan Indian Band, Osoyoos Indian Band, Penticton Band, Upper Nicola Band, Upper Similkameen Band and Westbank First Nation, as well as the Colville Confederated tribe in the U.S.

▼ DROUGHT HILL FIRE

Dumb boaters a headache for water bombers Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Swift reaction to tendrils of smoke rising into the air above Peachland ensured that a wildfire growing on tinder dry land was all but snuffed out with little damage to the nearby community. The Drought Hill blaze that was sparked Thursday, Aug. 7, and reached 40 hectares in size at its height, was considered fully contained and into the mop up phase by early Monday, Aug. 11. “That means there’s a hand guard and hose system around 100 per cent of the fire,” said Kelsey Winter, a fire information officer with the B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Re-

sources. The assault on the fire through both land and air was tremendous and speedy, reflecting a new tack among firefighters. “That is one of our strategies now,” Winter said. “Get them before they become a bigger fire.” It amounts to the deployment of fewer firefighting troops, in the long run. Mother Nature has been less than helpful in the fiery days of summer, as the weather has been hot and dry for weeks. But, the biggest problem remains to be humans. It’s believed the Drought Hill fire, which falls into the Penticton fire area, which brings the

total number of human-sparked incidents this summer to 37 of a total 57. In the Kamloops Fire Centre, which Kelowna falls into, there have been a total of 260 fires. Winter said 140 of those were caused by humans with 120 sparked by lightning. People have starting fires and also getting in the way of firefighting efforts. Mounties said that they dealt with several episodes of boaters getting in the path of water bombers loading up in Okanagan Lake during the Drought Hill fire. “Boats were moving in and getting in the way of emergency vehicles,” said Kelowna RCMP Const. Kris Clark.

If boats remained still would be one thing, but Clark said there were actual cases of boats driving toward helicopters hovering above the water to reload. It’s behaviour that’s dangerous both to everyone in the water, as well as those who are in the line of fire above. The Evacuation Alert for one property on the 4700 block of MacKinnon Road remains in effect. No further evacuation alerts are anticipated. The public can monitor www. cordemergency.ca, www.facebook.com/CORDEmergency or www.twitter.com/CO_Emerg for confirmed information about the situation.

Police arrest man threatening to shoot himself threatening to harm himself, said Const. Jesse O’Donaghey. The 23-year-old man, who did not threaten any members of the public, fled on foot when one of the witnesses tried to intervene. “Police conducted extensive patrols of the downtown and quickly located the suspect in the

700 Block of Saucier Avenue,” said O’Dohaghey. “Through the successful use of police training and de-escalation techniques, the man was arrested without incident. Although uninjured, he was transported to Kelowna General Hospital for any treatment he might require. He’s now facing char-

Airport shuttle service to connect passengers across South Okanagan Connecting from the South Okanagan to Kelowna International Airport is about to get a whole lot easier. The South Okanagan Chamber of Commerce, along with partners throughout the South and Central Okanagan including the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association, Greater Westside

Board of Trade, and Air Canada, have unveiled a new daily scheduled shuttle service from Osoyoos to Kelowna International Airport (YLW) with 10 inter-community stops along the way. The service will commence on Monday, Aug. 11, offering four round trips per day. “Having a regular

scheduled transportation link between Osoyoos and Kelowna is something we have needed for years,” said South Okanagan Chamber of Commerce president Myers Bennett. “Tourists flying into Kelowna and Penticton airports have been looking for an easy way to come and stay at our resorts and our residents have wanted more than one time option during the day to connect to our neighbouring communities and airports for appointments and flights.” “World class tourism destinations need to have efficient, effective and easy-to-access in-region transportation systems in order to be competitive and this new shuttle service is a major step forward for the South Okanagan intended to attract new tourists and business travellers,” added Glenn Mandziuk, president and chief executive officer of the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association. Rates between Kelowna to Osoyoos are $45 one way or $30 from Penticton to Kelowna International Airport.

Dry heat and smokers a bad combo Closure from A1 The statistics suggest the cause of wildfires are about 50/50 human caused to lightning strikes. Knox Mountain suffered a lightning strike a couple of years ago, near Paul’s Tomb, which could have been devastating had the city’s fire mitigation efforts not ensured the low-lying brush and branches that can help a fire spread were gone before the cocktail of flames and high winds swept the hillside. Within Knox Mountain Park, people are periodically found camping, but eagle-eyed residents living along the hill usually snuff out those moves quickly, reporting them to the authorities before there’s a serious threat. Some of these neighbourhoods have builtin fire hazards—for example, the roofs in Magic Estates were originally all cedar shake—so fire mitigation is a lifestyle. Smokers are really the big fear when long, hot dry spells like this hit, according to Kelowna Fire Chief Jeff Carlisle. “I would hope that the public takes it really seriously about the hot, dry

The Southern Interior was setting temperature records Monday, where Kelowna hovered around 35C, while Penticton, Lytton and the spots in the Fraser Canyon soared to near 40C. “We do expect the heat to last into tomorrow and after that the ridge of high pressure that we’re experiencing right now will start to break down,” said Andre Besson, Environment Canada meteorologist. Last Saturday a few suspicious fires in dump-

sters caught media attention, but the fire chief isn’t worried about fire bugs, even with the string of 22 suspicious fires currently stirring reports of an arsonist at work in Vernon. Carlisle is more concerned about the long, hot dry spell ahead and the dry conditions which have forced a vast swath of recreational areas to close. “The fire indices now are extreme to high across the province…All the indications are that this will be a hot, dry trend, not dissimilar from what occurred in 2003,” he said. While he was apologetic about the park closures, the inconvenience

simply doesn’t outweigh the risk in his view. The Central Okanagan Regional District has closed Hardy Falls Regional Park, Trepanier Creek Greenway Regional Park, Coldham Regional Park, Glen Canyon Regional Park, Kalamoir Regional Park, Rose Valley Regional Park, Stephens Coyote Regional Park, Scenic Canyon Regional Park, Mission Creek Greenway, Mission Creek Regional Park, Mill Creek Regional Park and Mountain Boucherie. The City of Kelowna has closed Dilworth Mountain Park, and Knox Mountain is closed to vehicles although the park remains open for those on foot.

Central school heritage work earns provincial recognition

The Central Okanagan School District will be given an Honours in Heritage Conservation award by Heritage BC. The award will be presented as part of the Annual Heritage BC conference to be held in Cloverdale on Sept. 26 and 27. The award is given to acknowledge and celebrate the significant amount and quality of the conservation work done on Central School. Built in 1913 and opened in January 1914, Central Elementary School is a gem reprehsenting the loftiest architectural ideas of its time. - Beaux-Arts design intspired the recessed central sand projecting side wings. and r Neo-classical Georgian designs contrib-uted the details of imposning entrances, graced with rfree-standing columns, pi-lasters and arches. The pediment that sur-

rounds the building’s roof, features dentils that is characteristic of the style. The placement of the windows provides a sense of balance and harmony. Caring for such an iconic building has brought with it some real challenges. While technically owned by the City of Kelowna, as long as the building is used for educational purposes School District 23 is responsible for its maintenance. In recent years the school board paid to have the masonry repointed and the foundations waterproofed to stabilize these crucial architectural elements. The windows had not benefited from any major repairs since they were installed in 1913 and were not performing to current expectations for heating efficiency. Research on op-

tions concluded that new double-glazed panes would not fit the wooden frames, replicas were costly and in the long-run restoring the widows was seen as the least expensive route to go. As the project timing had to coincide with summer vacation, the work required ingenuity to bring the project in on time and on budget. All 95 windows were removed from their sashes. Five layers of paint were identified and removed. All the hardware was

reclaimed and the painstaking job of removing layers of lead-based paint began. The new weather stripping was ordered from the original supplier. The two contractors who worked on the project, Greyback Construction, of Penticton, and Vintage Woodworks, in Victoria, were exemplary in their attention to every detail. The Central Okanagan Heritage Society brought forward the provincial nomination. “We are so pleased with the strong commitment and deci-

Positive move for Centennial Park

utland residents will be asked on Thursday to give their support at a public meeting for the City of Kelowna to take over management of Centennial Park. In return for taking over the park, the city will make improvements to the park grounds and be granted road access connecting Shepherd Road to Rutland Road for use as a regional transit service route. In exchange for the land, the Rutland Parks Society will receive a cash settlement which

will be put toward a major renovation of Centennial Hall. For long-time Rutland residents, the idea of turning over the park to the city might leave a bad taste in their mouths. The park society was originally created to maintain the park and hall, a volunteer initiative that was retained when Rutland was amalgamated into Kelowna in 1972. But most area residents are surprised to learn the city doesn’t already look after the park, and have little identifi-

cation with the parks society. Long an under-utilized eyesore that could and should be a focal point of the Rutland community, the move by the local business community to see make change has been in the works for several years. In a tug-of-war for some between emotional ties to the park against practical forward thinking, it’s time to move on. The park grounds lack weedless grass and playground facilities for kids and feature a softball diamond and bleach-

ers which have long been abandoned. The park’s chief purpose e of late is to house the carnival c midway of West Coast Amuse- T ments which shows up in Rut- s land for May Days and again in in September. n While some are suggesting a the issue be put to referendum, T the reality is the park is not relw evant to nearly enough Ruts land residents to warrant that s expensive action. The turnout g for Thursday night’s meeting at C Centennial Hall is likely to re- o d flect that rea lity. C

Changes to use of farm land a great leap forward

he B.C. government’s intentions for the Agricultural Land Reserve have been clarified by a public consultation that proposes new commercial and industrial uses on farmland. Political watchers may recall that this was the hill the NDP was prepared to die on this spring. It was going to be a farmland looting spree for right-wing property developers and all hope of “food security” would be dashed. As I attempted to explain at the

time, the changes have little or nothing to do with ALR exclusions. Now a discussion paper poses a series of questions, some of which illustrate the Tom need to bring farmland Fletcher regulations up to date. The first one deals with restrictions on retail sales, a case study in arbitrary state control. There is a strict maximum floor space. A minimum one half of retail sales must be produced on that farm. Food packing, preparation and processing are similarly restricted.

VICTORIA VIEWS

This requires multiple duplicate operations of questionable viability. It brings to mind Mao Tse Tung’s Great Leap Forward, where farmers all had little iron smelting furnaces out back to make tools. But I digress. “Amongst other things,” the discussion paper says, “lessening the restrictions on on-farm processing could allow the establishment of abbatoirs (large, small or mobile) on farms, to serve surrounding cattle, game or poultry farms.” Then there’s cheese, fruit juice and even medical marijuana products. And did you know that wineries and cideries are allowed on farmland but breweries, distilleries and mead-

eries aren’t? (Mead is made from honey, and doesn’t have to be drunk from a bronze mug while wearing a horned helmet.) Now that we’ve discovered that breweries don’t have to be giant urban industrial plants producing mediocre lager that all tastes the same, possibilities abound. On-farm wine and cider sales have similarly quaint retail space and product origin restrictions. The government proposes to allow sales of products not made on site, as long as they’re made in B.C. This could make more local retail beverage co-ops viable. Or it could spawn a wave of unregulated rural li-

quor stores that create chaos on country roads. You decide. On a more serious note, there are a couple of questions about changes to the newly created “zone two,” the Interior, Kootenay and North regions. One repeats the government’s intention to open up non-farm use rules to allow certain oil and gas service functions on farmland. This is to reflect the reality already on the ground in the Northeast. What other non-farm activities it may entail is not yet known, as the consultation and regional meetings continue until Aug. 22. There are proposals to bypass the

▼ BCTRANSIT

Snatching Rutland park precedent-setting To the editor: Should the City of Kelowna advisors and city council wish to improve the grounds and spruce up Rutland Centennial Park, who am I to object? Like most anything else, this generous move comes with conditions. The city wants ownership of the last community property in Rutland, namely Rutland Centennial Park, to construct a through-road for BC Transit. The reasons are somewhat ironic, as they constantly use the word ‘unsightly’ to describe the grounds. However, the City of Kelowna requires ownership to put a road directly through Rutland Centennial Park, from Shepherd Road across the grassy area to include

Rutland Centennial Hall parking lot out to Rutland Road, to convenience BC Transit City bus service. Unsightly lawns can be easily repaired with overseeding and irrigation, however noisy buses, constantly emitting diesel fumes and other residue in the centre of a popular community park pollutes the air and lungs of individuals. Rutland Centennial Park and Hall will be no more. Family events, including the ever popular 30-year-old weekly Flea Market, and the annual Rutland May Days drawing up to 30,000 people, would soon fold. To eliminate the possibility of objectors, city council and five executive members of the Rutland Parks Society have held

closed door negotiations for a number of months and concluded that allowing the City to take over the Rutland Centennial Park would complete the BC Transit Exchange Route allowing BC Transit buses free access to city park. Now let’s look at both Kelowna city council and Rutland Park Society’s executive logic. Promises of soccer fields, community gardens, children’s playground equipment, exercise areas etc., are all conducive to a park setting. We can’t forget the promise of another successful May Days celebration. However, no mention of noisy buses permeating the air with diesel fumes and dust, nor giving any thought to safety aspects

for children and others being accidentally struck by a moving bus or permeated by toxic exhaust fumes. A city park is a place for peace and relaxation. This will be no more if city development advisor Graham Wood, and city council continue to put a BC Transit Bus Route over and above the health and welfare of its citizens. This, of course, would be a “considered first” for municipal politicians in the history of British Columbia politics. One has to question the brain power of city developers, as we remember city council wanting to replace the green grass in Kelowna City Park with concrete just a few months back, and question [the wisdom] of this

latest attempt to replace grass with concrete roads for BC Transit in Rutland Centennial Park. This should be a wakeup call for mayoral hopefuls and elected city council members with the 2014 municipal election just a few months away. The planned August 14 vote to hand over Rutland Centennial Park to the city will pave the way for city council to construct a road through Rutland Centennial Park for the convenience of BC Transit, and would set a precedent allowing the city carte blanche for any and all parks within the confines of Kelowna. Democracy as we once knew it would be no more. Arlene Gaal, Kelowna

▼ ENFORCE COMPLIANCE

Tinted front windows in a long list of illegal vehicle modifications that must be remedied To the editor: In your Aug. 5 edition, you printed an interesting article on illegal vehicle modifications. (RCMP say Money Wasted on Illegal Vehicle Modifications.) One item that was left out was the illegal tinting

of the front side windows. Police can’t see drivers using cell phones while they are driving and night vision is reduced due to the darkened windows. If the police don’t act on enforcing the non-tinting of front side windows and (amazingly) wind-

shields, there will be so many infractions that they will have the same problem as the illegal noise level of exhaust systems and won’t be able to enforce the law. Police, you have a job to do. Make those who tint their front side win-

dows remove the tinting and show you their vehicle with the corrected modification(s), adding fines for non-compliance within a certain (short) time frame. You can fine them for the infraction if you want but the cost of tinting and

the removal of the tinting is already a double cost and may be sufficient ¨punishment.¨ Get to it! Rory Fader, Kelowna

Premier Clark: Get my grandkids back to school Open letter to Christy Clark: I have no children in the public education system right now, but have a few grandchildren involved in classrooms in British Columbia. I remember when you were

Education Minister! I was not impressed back then, and am even less impressed now. You have tried to humiliate and bully teachers, split CUPE and BCTF, and now buy votes from parents. What are you

thinking? I despise liars, ignore exaggerators, and mute loud-mouths, but feel I need to address you about all three because you have fit into each category. For some weird reason you have now stepped

back a couple months and gone back to a 10-year contract. Is this because you are so busy campaigning that you have lost touch with what has been actually going on with negotiating? Stop the lies, stop the campaigning, stop spending my taxes on your trav-

el and hotel expenses, stop telling British Columbians that it is all the BCTF’s fault, stop making and changing negotiating rules and go back to work so my grandkids can get back to school. Lynn Greenough, Kelowna

Retiring farmers won’t have to beg to stay on their property Express yourself Fletcher from A8

Agricultural Land Commission for certain kinds of farmland subdivision in zone two. These are where the subdivided parcels are a quarter section (160 acres) or bigger, or where they are divided by a road or waterway. And finally there are proposed exemptions from ALC scrutiny of leases, to allow “inter9generational transfer,”

so retiring farmers don’t have to plead for state permission to remain on their own property. Another exemption would “encourage the use of otherwise unfarmed land by existing or new farmers.” NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham, who circulated a photo of herself with a samurai sword in a theatrical “Kill Bill 24” campaign, continues to insist that these changes open up 90 per cent of

ALR land for “development.” It’s a hypocritical as well as a misleading statement, since a portion of her own Saanich farm property is rented to a successful craft gin distillery.

didn’t realize how nasty I was feeling. I wasn’t quite sure what to do, so I took the coffee and muffin and headed on my way, trying to look back at the car and the wonderful person behind me to smile and wave. I kept smiling as I drove down the road, smiling as I saw each of my clients that day, smiling as I stopped to pick up groceries before going home and smiling from ear to ear as I told my husband what a stranger had done for me that day. A simple thing really, such a random act of kindness out of the blue as if the universe whispered to me, “Its OK, you’re not really alone you know.” That person’s kindness changed my mood from feeling stressed to really actually feeling happy. All day. I have made it my intention to be more observant as I get older of how I want to live my life each day. I suppose watching my mom in her final stage of life has had a great deal to do with that. It has helped me to stop and smell the roses, so to speak. The writer of the Happiness Project, Gretchen Rubin, decided to embark on a campaign to make herself happier, even though she acknowledged that she really did feel relatively happy. “Contemporary research shows that happy people are more altruistic, more productive, more helpful, more likable, more creative, more resilient, more interested in others, friendlier, and healthier,” she says. “Happy people make better friends, colleagues, and citizens.” I want to be one of those people. Life sometimes gets the better of you and the simplicity of bringing sustained effort to starting each day with good intentions gets lost.

A year of caregiving has taught me to believe that it is very important, especially in the third stage of life, to know that you are the person that you are supposed to be. In the book Happiness: A Guide To Developing Life’s Most Important Skill, Buddhist, monk Matthieu Ricard notes that “people often equate happiness with trivial things, such as eating a tasty plate of spaghetti, or walking in the snow under the stars’ and so on.” Since Ricard has been dubbed in media circles as “the happiest man in the world,” he seems to have a pretty good grip on the subject. He goes on to say that he has “come to understand that although some people are naturally happier that others, their happiness is still vulnerable and incomplete, and that achieving durable happiness as a way of being is a skill. It requires sustained effort in training the mind and developing a set of human qualities, such as inner peace, mindfulness and altruistic love.” While happiness is an internal state, it is often enhanced by looking beyond yourself and engaging with the needs of others. I sincerely felt that the person behind me in the Starbucks line cared about someone they didn’t know. Why the gift on this particular day, when I was not in my usual better frame of mind? It really made me stop and think. Since then, I have been the giver of free morning treats at Starbucks a few times. Yep, it feels really good on both ends. Give it a try. You just might find yourself feeling a whole lot happier. Marjorie Horne is the owner of Caresmart Seniors Consulting. www.caresmart.ca 250-863-9577

Seniors: Watch your step Nearly 2.2 million Canadian seniors ages 65 and older visit the emergency room each year. Falls are the leading cause of injury hospitalizations for seniors across Canada, contributing to nine per cent of all emergency department visits by seniors. Many of these injuries from falls are sustained in the place seniors are meant to feel the safest—their home. In fact, 71 per cent of seniors’ homes have at least one potential safety issue, according to adult children of seniors surveyed by Home Instead Inc., franchisor of the Home Instead Senior Care network. However, more than half of all home accidents by seniors (53 per cent) can be avoided according to a recent survey of emergency room doctors. These preventable home hazards, such as throw rugs or loose railings, can be particularly harmful, leading to falls and injuries that can impact seniors’ abil-

ity to live independently. However, the majority of seniors (81 per cent) haven’t taken any steps to prepare their homes for their changing needs as they grow older. “The home should be the safest and most comfortable place for aging seniors,” said Don Henke, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care franchise serving Kelowna. “It is critical for families and seniors to invest the time in identifying and making the necessary home safety modifications to ensure it stays that way.” To help seniors reduce the risk of injury in their own homes, Home Instead offers a free home safety checklist for local residents, an online safety assessment and recommendations for inexpensive modifications that could ensure the safety of older loved ones. Visit the website makinghomessaferforseniors.ca/ for more information about the safety checklist.

‘Amazing’ home opener

Kevin Parnell

STAFF REPORTER

Okanagan Sun quarterback Cam Bedore has been in more than a few battles with rival Vancouver Island during his two-plus seasons with the Sun. So Saturday’s home-opening and convincing 38-0 shut-out victory over the VI Raiders was a perfect way to kick off the team’s home schedule. “It feels amazing,” said Bedore, who was 12-for-23 through the air with one touchdown and one interception in the win. “We beat them once last year and it was a great feeling then. But to win by as much as we did on Saturday feels incredible.” The Sun offense posted 246 yards on the ground and 196 through the air while the defense dominated the Raiders in the win during the team’s 33rd home opener, played Saturday at the Apple Bowl. Kory Nagata opened

the scoring with his first career run at the Apple Bowl as the rookie scored on a 10 yard run at the 12:35 mark of the first quarter to culminate a four play drive. In the second quarter the Sun scored 24 points to take a commanding 31-0 lead at halftime.

Kasey Russell scored on a one yard plunge at 9:56. Dillon Fortune then scored on a carbon copy run from one yard out to put the homeside up by 21. Thomas Huber kicked a 17 yard field with 2:14 to play in the second. Then, taking advantage of terrific defense

the Sun got the ball back and delivered the knockout blow, a 24 yard touchdown pass to Jesse Kendall from Bedore with 48 seconds before halftime. There wasn’t any scoring in the third quarter, but then in the fourth, Russell pounded his way in from a yard out for his second touchdown of the game

with 12:57 to go in the fourth. Bedore credited the team’s offensive line as well as the defense in what he called a total team effort in the win. “This year I think is going to be a special year for us,” said Bedore. “We brought in some guys that are going to make a differ-

ence. We have some big guys on the O and D that are making plays. I think we have a strong team that has a lot of potential.” Next Saturday afternoon, will be a rematch as the Sun (2-1) travel to Nanaimo to face the Raiders (1-2) in the Raiders home opener. Bedore said it will be

tough to post back to back wins but the Sun will be ready. “It’s always tough to beat someone twice but I think we have a really strong team and as long as we are well-prepared and come in focussed I think we can post another win.” kparnell @kelownacapnews.com

Elite and first-timers set for Pushor Mitchell Apple Triathlon

Close to 1,200 local, national and international triathletes of all ages and stages will be competing in the 32nd Pushor Mitchell Apple Triathlon taking place in Kelowna this coming weekend. Seven countries will be represented by 32 elite men and 18 elite women in Sunday’s ITU 2014 Kelowna PATCO Sprint Triathlon Premium Pan American Cup. Amongst these athletes will be Canada’s Paula Findlay, 25, the only female athlete to have ever won both the Junior Elite and Elite races at the Pushor Mitchell Apple Triathlon.

As of Monday a total of 740 racers have signed up for the individual age group sprint and Olympic distances, the sprint business challenge relay and the Olympic relay on Sunday. Calgary’s Ray Colliver, 81, the recipient of the gold medal in the 80-84 age group for the Olympic distance in London (UK) in the ITU 2013 Grand Final, will be the most senior participant in the Olympic distance race this weekend. In the junior elite events, Calgary’s Russell Pennock, 19, who recently won the Canadian Junior Triathlon Championship title, will be defending

his crown in this fourth and final race of the 2014 National Junior Series. The junior elite race, which has 65 athletes registered, is also the B.C. Provincial Championships. Other signed-up participants for Saturday include 282 youngsters between the ages of eight and 19 for the Kids of Steel and U-16 races. Accepting the challenge of a new sport, 75 athletes will also be doing their first Try-a-Tri and more than 50 swimmers will compete in the 1.5 km and 5 km Apple Open Water Swim.

Ogopogo Swim Club shows collective strength at regionals

Over 100 members of the Ogopogo Summer Swim Club teamed up to earn a first place team showing at the Okanagan Regional Championships held in Kelowna earlier this month. The Ogos had a very strong performance breaking eight records, and qualifying 37 swimmers for the BCSSA provincial championships, which are taking place in Kamloops this coming weekend. Leading the way was Flyn Huber (div. 2) qualifying in all four of his individual events and breaking three records along the way. Huber bettered the 2008 regional meet record of 38.80 by swimming an impressive time of 38.26. He also broke two Ogopogo club records, the 100 IM record in a time of 1:23.18 and by bettering the 50 fly club record by D .02 in a time of 38.04. The club’s senior rec-

Ask the

ord breakers included new Ogopogo member Randi Thompson (div. 6) who broke the 2009 50 fly Ogo club record of 31.36 by swimming an impressive time of 30.77, taking the gold in that event. Thompson qualified for her first BCSSA provincials in 100 fly, 100 free, 50 free and 50 fly. Makenna Haight had an impressive meet breaking two club records and qualifying in all four of her individual events. Haight bettered the 20 year old div. 4 50 fly club record of 33.85 by swimming a time of 32.77. She also bettered the 100 back record of 1:15.00 by swimming a time of 1:14.80. Other club record breakers saw Andrea Kraetzer finishing second in 50 breast and bettering the div. 2 50 breaststroke record in a time of 43.74. Isis Da Rosa had a break out meet taking near-

ly five seconds off her 50 butterfly and breaking the div. 3 club record in a time of 35.56. Da Rosa also qualified for provincials by finishing third in 100 IM. Ogo swimmers who dominated the competition and qualified for provincials in all four individual events were Braelyn Cutforth (div. 1) who finished second in all four of her individual events; Kylie Haight (div. 2) finishing with all best times and breaking 40 seconds in the 50 fly finishing with her first ever provincial qualifying time; Rachel McInnes (div. 3) who finished first in 50 free with a time of 33.43 and second in 100 free and 50 back; and Rachel Schueler (div. 4) who finished second in 100 free and 50 free-breaking 31 seconds and also swimming third to provincial qualifying times in both 100 back

Q A

MARK GALLAGHER/CONTRIBUTED

MAKENNA Haight, 13, (div.4) powers through the water in her 50 fly event at a sum-

I’m often asked is there is any other way to use medicinal cannabis other than smoking. The answer is YES! There are many different ways, other than smoking, that one can use cannabis as medicine effectively .

No. 1 VAPORIZATION: An alternative to smoking cannabis. With smoking, the inhalation of many irritating, toxic and carcinogenic by-products enter the lungs. When vaporizing, the plant matter is heated with hot air, to a temperature between 170°C to 195°C releasing the active ingredients into a vapor without any carcinogenic particles entering the lungs. The feeling (high) is very similar to smoking cannabis but without the negative effects of smoke. The medicine takes effect within 5 minutes and can last for 90 minutes to 2 hours. No. 2 INGESTION/ORAL: Many people choose not to smoke or vaporize their medicinal cannabis, but instead cook the cannabis into brownies or cookies, or muffins, or teas. This is an effective alternative to smoking cannabis but it takes longer for the medicine to take effect, sometimes up to 90 minutes to 2 hours but the feeling (high) can last for 4 to 6 hours. No. 3 TOPICAL/CREAMS/SALVES: For people with skin conditions and even arthritis, this can be quite effective. However the cannabis needs to be infused into something that is easily absorbed into the skin. Shea butter, olive oil, grape seed oil work well to name a few. There is no psychoactive effect from using topicals infused with cannabis.

Sr. Mortgage Professional

Q A

Each case is different, but generally Banks/lenders are looking at these four determining components: 1) Income--Do you have sufficient income to cover the monthly mortgage payment plus all your existing debt obligations (ie. car payment/student loans). Do you have an employer or are you self-employed? 2) Down payment--How much down payment do you have available? Down payment can be from own resources or gifted from a family member and can even be borrowed from a line of credit in some cases. Some lenders also provide an option where a portion of your down payment can be borrowed. Generally, a minimum of 5% down is required. If you are lacking income and credit, a large down payment can often offset those considerations. 3) Credit Score--Is your credit score strong enough? Have you proven that you pay your loans, bills, and credit cards on time and agreed? Even if you have large balances on your credit card, make sure you at least make the minimum payment each month! 4) Property: Does the property you are wanting to mortgage fit within the lenders guidelines (ie, acreage, farm, condo, residential home)? For further information, please get in touch if you have ANY questions. Remember our services are complimentary to you and we only get paid by the lender if we get you the mortgage you want!

No. 4 SUPPOSITORIES: Medical cannabis suppositories are well suited for patients who are unable to eat or smoke medicinal cannabis. The easiest way to make a suppository is to fill some capsules with cannabis oil and...well... insert with care. There are many blood vessels in the anus and they absorb the THC at an extremely fast rate. Therefore the person will get high very quickly. Caution should be taken when using this method to ensure the user is in a safe place in case the dose in the suppository is a strong one.

Marli Gallagher qualified for her first ever provincials by finishing second in div. 4 100 breast in a provincial qualifying time of 1:25.98 and Emma Middleton had an outstanding meet qualifying in her two events in division six. Other first time qualifiers included Clara Dickerson (50 breast), Isis Da Rosa (50 fly, 100 IM), Tage Stevens (50 back), Journee Tozer, Kyra Sewell (Divison 4 200 free relay), Olivia Nickerson, Jennifer Hunter, Maya Andruchow (div 1 200 medley and free relays), Justin Andruchow, Noel Arnason, Oliver Dickieson (div 2 medley relay) Charlotte Phillips (div 2 200 medley and free relays), Ehren Woodward and Carter Fortney (div 4 200 medley relay), and Madelyn DeGruchy (div 7 200 medley relay).

What does Active Adult Living mean?

At Cadence at The Lakes it means each home will have at least one person over 45 years of age and the youngest resident must be 19 or older. This doesn’t mean we don’t like kids; we just want our residents to be able to share a neighbourhood with others of similar ages and interests. No more hockey nets, basketball hoops, or noisy trampolines to contend with; just the peaceful quiet of a community that’s ready to embrace you in your next stage in life. Of course, visiting children are always welcome! Choosing the right community with the right services, amenities and neighbours means you can age in place without having to move every time something changes. The right size home, lower costs and expenses, caring neighbours, maintenance freedom and full ownership means Cadence at The Lakes ticks all of the boxes.

Q A

I have been having my carpet regularly steam cleaned since new, but it gets dirty faster and faster. Why does this happen?

“Steam “ cleaning is pressure washing. The cleaning wand sprays many gallons of hot water under pressure (usually 3-500 psi) into the carpet blasting soil off the fibers driving it deep into the carpet backing. The cleaning wand vacuum extracts the dirty water back out of the carpet removing most of the water and soil. It cannot possibly remove it all and as the carpet dries over the next few hours (6-12 hours is considered normal), soil and stains driven into the back can wick up to the surface creating a dull, blotchy appearance. Low pile carpets are particularly prone to this but in time it will appear on most carpets. Precision control of the minimal water used with Oxy-Dry ensures soil is not washed into the backing eliminating these problems. Our exclusive use of aqueous ozone provides a unique advantage as even deep down soil is degraded at the molecular level easily detaching from the carpet fibers with the initial clean and continuing with subsequent vacuuming. The carpet continues to clean and stays clean up to 3 times longer. Oxy-Dry is the deep clean that’s drier than “steam!”

The Sweets jumped on Falcons starter Brandon Lambright scoring nine times on eight hits, chasing him from the game after just 0.2 of an inning as the Sweets sent 14 men to the plate in the first inning. Three relievers did shut down the Sweets as they scored just two runs after the first inning. Jeremy Newton allowed one earned and one unearned run in the sixth inning, finishing with 5.1 innings, striking out four. Michael McCall threw two innings of shutout ball, while Brett Solano threw a perfect ninth inning striking out two of the three batters he faced. The Falcons scored runs in three consecutive innings after trailing by nine runs. In the second inning Will Fox was handed a bases loaded walk as Brandon Graham scored. In the Falcons third inning Ryan Degner led off with a triple to continue his hot hitting. Three pitches later Lucas Denney knocked him in with a single to right field. Then in the fourth the Falcons cut the lead to four with another pair of runs. Both Degner and Denney tallied RBI sin-

gles After the Sweets scored two runs in the sixth inning, the Falcons collected their final run of the season as Anthony Gosline scored on a double steal. The Falcons finished with 11 hits.

BUSINESS

Power of collaboration creating a world that works I would like to think that even as the years unfold, I never stop learning and embracing new thoughts and experience. How joyous the valley environment would find itself, not only in entrepreneurial pursuit and stimulating its entrepreneurial culture but in all aspects of human life, if we grasped with all our hearts and minds the power of collaboration as an added ingredient in our leadership education. At the most fundamental level, collaboration comes from a Latin root that roughly means “to work with”—but there is more to it than that. People working for truly collaborative organizations are empowered and engaged. They colabour successfully, reach agreement, resolve differences, produce great products and meet customer and community needs in ways that may well be the envy of their industry, organization and regional landscape. What’s more, the most valuable organizations in the world—namely, those entrepreneurial thinking companies that are making the biggest difference to our society, providing a positive impact to the environment and delighting all—are highly collaborative. Collaborative leadership is at the centre of an important shift in our business world increasingly moving away from autocratic leadership to more decentralized models, creating a new paradigm. For many, the shift from command and control raises a continuing dilemma: How do you get things done and drive an organization forward when you’re forced to coax and convince? I’m told, by some very reputed leadership consultants, the distinction lies at the heart of the answer.

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young Collaboration is an essential tool for the new kind of entrepreneurial venture leader—the facilitative leader, one who engages relevant stakeholders in solving problems collaboratively and works to build a more collaborative culture in his or her community or organization. The facilitative leader makes conscious choices about how much collaboration is appropriate for each decision and delegates accordingly. Such a leader is able to get more out of their organization, while staying on track and driving the intended strategy forward. This innovative leader is able to devise and articulate a vision of triple-bottom-line value that inspires and motivates internal and external stakeholders alike. Leading and collaborating—wow, what a concept. As companies and organizations are urged to move to more agile, collaborative models, so too have they begun involving a variety of internal and external stakeholder in their overall strategies. Folks at the helm of forward-thinking companies and organizations are taking into account how they affect the environment, communities and employees. When leaders use collaboration to plan, gain alignment and execute skillfully, they create value for all stakeholders within their sphere of influence. So, how do we set the bar for all to build collaborative capability and capacity? The key, it seems, lies in aligning our organization’s direction, com-

Family movies to be presented outdoors The Moonlight Movie Tour will be making stops in Kelowna and West Kelowna this week. Sponsored by Interior Savings and the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club, the movie tour provides a giant inflatable cinema screen that shows movies outdoors after sundown along with family friendly pre-show activities and concession sales. West Kelowna’s Webber Road Community Centre will host a showing of The Lego Movie tonight (Aug. 12), and Rio 2 will be shown Wednesday at City Park.

mitment and capability to create shared responsibility for the success of the organization. This is a particularly significant point to me personally as the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society has recently completed an outstanding collaborative leadership process through the creation of a non-profit entrepreneurial corporate structure of close to 28 people led by a board of a founding chair, a chair and seven vice-chairs with a plethora of committees under each vicechair. And our team accomplished this with little pain and much joy thanks to the collaborative leadership of each member of the team. A sense of direction comes from a clear understanding of the strategic moment faced by the organization itself. What is the gap between where the company or organization is and where it aspires to be? What’s required to bridge that gap? Who could be involved in bridging that gap? After establishing a sense of direction, one must focus on practices that invite enrolment in the change and commitment to its success. So please embrace this thought—the invitation extends beyond

traditional organizational boundaries to include other business and social relationships and the broader community and region with its mesmerizing cadre of like or similar organizations. This bias for inclusion and involvement is at the very heart of the “collaborative attitude” shared by high purpose companies and organizations. OK then, direction says what we’ll do. Commitment says why we’ll do it. Collaborative organizations then build their capacity and capability in working effectively together unselfishly and with a common sense of community purpose. No individual organizational nor scorecard is absolutely necessary. What fun we could have with unbelievable outcomes if we operated in a constant cycle of sharing information, clarifying understanding, reaching agreements and implementing decisions. The collaborative leadership and its true power perhaps with its most striking commonality lies just beneath the surface, between an original vision and a desired outcome. All of us, in our individual and joint efforts, can tap the creativity in our minds and, combined

with the power of collaboration to invent something totally original. We can leap into the void, exercise belief in our visions together, learn to trust each other and effectively engaging the relevant stakeholders, remain unafraid of the unknown. As more entrepre-

neurial companies and organizations master these skills, the collaborative behaviours of each will become the model for success in the society around us. Connecting stakeholders and practicing optimum involvement yields surprising and unbelievably satisfying results.

Please don’t let any false myths of collaboration get in the way of mastering a more agile, rewarding environment. Joel Young is an entrepreneurial leadership coach, consultant and educator and the founder of Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society. eagleyoung@shaw.ca

As well, he leaves many nephews and nieces, great nephews, a great niece and a great great niece. He was predeceased by his parents Peter and Eva Hlushak, brothers Arthur (Gladys) Hlushak, Amil(Betty Anne) Hlushak and Clarence Hlushak, and half-sister Olga (Michael) Ferens. Russell was a certified pipefitter, welder and plumber, working in Port Radium, NWT, Eastern and Western U.S. and finally at the Fort McMurray Oil Sands. He will be remembered for the quality of his work, his motto being that there was only one way to do any job - The Right Way. He will also be remembered for his willingness to offer assistance whenever required, even without being asked. Special thanks to the KGH 5th Floor Unit D doctors, nurses and aides for the wonderful care provided. At Russell’s request, no formal services will be held.

HLUSHAK, RUSSELL LAURENCE

PRIME LOCATION, 1blk off Hwy 97 N. 2500 sq. ft. c/w 2 10,000 lb car hoists, air compressor & misc shop tools, office & parts room.

Richard Raymond Armstrong (Army), age 69, of Kelowna passed away suddenly on Tuesday, August 5th at Kelowna General Hospital surrounded by his family, wife Raymonde and his children Elisa and Phil. Richard was born in Verdun, Quebec. He moved to BC in 1968 and loved it. “BC is for me!” he’d always say. Richard worked throughout BC as a member of the Tunnel & Rock Workers Union, Local 168, on several heavy construction projects including the Mica and Revelstoke dams and the Rogers Pass CPR tunnels. In the last decade before his retirement he explored the province as a truck driver. In the 1990s Richard became a Knight of Columbus, a brotherhood of volunteering he cherished. He was a member of the housing committee and served as chairman of the monthly church breakfast, but his true calling was selling charity appeal tickets. As a brother knight quoted, “He sold a truckload of tickets.” Richard enjoyed travelling and Mexico held a special place in his heart. In addition to being a devoted husband and father, Richard was extremely personable, an animated and comical storyteller and always brought smiles to those around him. Prayers will be recited at St. Pius X Church at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, August 12th, 2014 and the Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11:00 am on Wednesday, August 13th, 2014. For those who wish to honour Richard’s life, please donate in his memory to the Knights of Columbus 7359 Foundation, 002 – 1920 Richter St. V1Y 2N2, or to the KGH Foundation, 2268 Pandosy Street, Kelowna, BC V1Y 1T2.

ith the resumption of hot weather, I am again thinking of trees. I’m fortunate that my property had several mature trees when I bought it so I can always find a shaded spot to tend one of

my gardens or to sit and enjoy watching the pollinators and birds that visit. When I first moved here, I wasn’t happy about the weeping willow. I knew they suck a lot of water out of surrounding soil and constantly

keeping garden, house and vehicles cooler. Shade reduces the amount of heat absorbed and thrown off by the paved driveway surface. shade it gave on the west side of the house was a godsend. Ten years later, because of the pollarding, I have spent a lot of money to keep it healthy and safe. I seldom water the willow or the dry garden underneath it. The tree has a very well-established root system to access deeper ground water. The back garden has a huge blue spruce which never gets watered. In the summer I enjoy its shade. It also serves to hold up my well-used clothes line. However, it’s a tree that should never have been planted on a city lot. It’s too big. Nothing will grow under it. Worst of all it is on the south side of the house, so it blocks much wanted winter sunlight. Trees are the largest, and generally longest-lived plant in any landscape. They need to be

placed carefully so they can grow to mature size. It’s important to place them an adequate distance from buildings and walkways. They also need to be able to grow to full height without running into power lines, clothes lines or obscuring a desirable view. Trees planted in the wrong place may require costly pruning to keep them within space limitations. Often this destroys the look and the health of the tree. For small spaces there are several low-water species that are 25 feet or less at maturity. The Amur Maple and Golden-Rain tree are lovely, small, umbrella-shaped shade trees, growing 20 to 25 feet high and wide.

Helping parents with ‘back to school’ fiscal stress

The Golden-Rain tree has yellow flowers in July and lantern seed pods that are attractive in winter. It requires good drainage so is not suitable for clay soils. The Japanese tree lilac ‘Ivory Silk’ is a similar shape but only 16 feet wide. In late spring, it has large plumes of creamy flowers. Apricot and Italian plum trees can be trained to form a shape and size similar to the Amur Maple. Both are drought-tolerant once established and produce well without needing any pesticide sprays. For information on these and other drought tolerant trees, go to the plant database at www.okanaganxeriscape.org.
