NEW HOUSES and townhomes being outfitted with an elevator is less about adding an extravagant feature and more about aging baby boomers who want to stay in their two-storey retirement homes even after their mobility begins to suffer.

Yacht club opening delayed Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna Yacht Club members held a ceremony Tuesday as their new flagpole started flying a myriad of colours. But it may be weeks before the actual facility is open for business. According to a club representative, some snags in its completion have set opening day back to September—a few months later than anticipated. The public tenant, the Cactus Club restaurant, will open in the fall. While the multi-million dollar project is behind schedule and over budget, there’s no doubt it has evolved into something that visitors and locals alike can better appreciate, which is good news to the club’s commodore, Mike Terris. And the new flagpole is emblematic of that change. “It’s stunning,” he said. “It really blends into the waterfront and the moorage basin behind it.” The club’s old flagpole, erected in 1951, was retired with the hoisting of the new colours. The old club house was slated to be demolished by now, but that has also been delayed.

ART IN THE PARK…Rain and wind forced the relocation of the District of West Kelowna’s Art in the Park exhibit and sale from the originally scheduled

Rotary Park venue to the Byland’s Garden Centre. Among the participating artists in the program is Cherie Sibley, seen here with her wildlife paintings on display last Saturday at the entrance to Byland’s, while other artists had their works inside the garden centre.

▼ KEEPING WATCH

Public on alert for over-heated dogs stuck in vehicles Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

The manager of the Kelowna SPCA says despite a higher number of calls about animals left in hot cars this summer, she thinks the public is getting the message not to do it. Suzanne Pugh told the Capital News Wednesday that with

the Central Okanagan being the first jurisdiction in B.C., and possibly across Canada, to introduce tickets for people who leave animals in vehicles when the weather is hot or even just warm, the number of calls her office has received has shot up this summer. In the Lower Mainland, Surrey recently followed Kelow-

na’s lead and other municipalities in the province have it listed as a bylaw offence but do not ticket for it. In July, SPCA officials were dispatched 310 times as a result of hot dog calls. That was about 100 calls more than were received in June. On a typical weekend day in the summer, she said it is not

unusual to get 20 calls about dogs left in unventilated vehicles in hot weather. “I think part of it is that we have really stepped up awareness of the issue,” said Pugh. “To get calls is great because then we have a chance to make a difference for an animal.” The cost of a ticket here is $150.

Pugh said she proposed the tickets as part of the regional district’s recent overhaul of its dog control bylaw. The Regional District of the Central Okanagan handles dog control for the local area municipalities.

Kelowna art project grows organically at community garden Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

There is one word for the mosaic currently adorning the community garden on St. Paul: “Cool.” Adding an extra splash of colourful flare to the ambitious, leafy planters, where local gardeners already invest in growing their own food, meeting their neighbours and putting a smile on the faces of passersby, the mural adds a small touch of Barcelona to downtown Kelowna. “The goal is that people will notice the art, talk to the gardeners and then go home and put gardens into their own place,” said Roxana Adams, who organizes ‘SOL’ Art, a division of the Central Okanagan Community Gardens dedicated to adding art to the garden sites. The word “sol” means sun in Spanish and Adams says it fits the bill as the sun feeds their gardens, but music and art feel the soul, creating a natural synergy between artists and gardeners. She has overseen such projects to incorporate public art in the gardens. Adams was visiting one of her children in Spain when inspiration for this latest piece struck. Casting an eye over An-

tonio Gaudi’s famed mosaic architectural forms, she wondered if a mosaic might not be a wonderful addition to their collection and was thrilled when members of COOL Arts approached ‘SOL’ Art to fulfill the plan. Community gardens are on public lands, so a mural also draws the very public nature of Gaudi’s efforts back to these garden spaces. “The art adds to the ambiance, and our gardens are public spaces, so we just think it enhances the project,” said Ruth Mellor, COCG president. While the Central Okanagan Foundation generally ponies up the money for the Community Gardens art, the City of Kelowna funded this project, which Lake Country artist Wanda Lock spearheaded. Cool Arts is a non-profit organization facilitating opportunities to create for people with disabilities, or diverse abilities, and executive director Rena Warren is always looking for outdoor projects to draw the wider community into what her artists are doing. Recycling and reusing materials to get this project underway, Warren said she loved the community-building aspect of this work as it really

vation Army, so we got a lot of donations from the Salvation Army,” she said. Two sessions were used to assemble the colourful tiles into bitesized chunks, and the artists spent some time drawing designs based on indigenous insects before launching into tiling the

walls. “The initial inspiration were things like butterflies, moths, dragonflies, bees—all those kinds of things,” said Warren. The result is a very abstract swirl of colour that absolutely catches the eye. “It’s really been quite a process, from where we

started to where it all landed up,” said Warren. Cool Arts wanted to do this a couple of years ago and were approved to do so many other projects the organizers had to place the mural on hold for a year. An unveiling will be held as part of Culture

Days on Saturday, Sept. 27 when the last finishing touches are complete. “We’ve had tons of feedback. People have just been saying: ‘Oh this is so awesome and so beautiful,’” Warren added. jsmith @kelownacapnews.com

▼ COLD CASE

On 20th anniversary question remains: Who murdered Mindy Tran? Kelowna’s most notorious murder investigation remains officially unsolved. Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

It’s been 20 years since Mindy Tran rode her bike down a quiet Kelowna road and became the victim of one of this city’s

most infamous and ultimately unsolved crimes. The eight-year-old had gone out to play just after dinner, Aug. 17, 1994. When she didn’t return, a search was called and hundreds of area residents fanned out across the neighbourhood to find the child who was described as studious and friendly, according to Capital News archives. Her body, which

showed evidence of strangulation and sexual violation, was found six weeks later, on Oct. 11, 1994, when a man with a divining rod led police to a shallow grave in Mission Creek Regional Park. Shannon Murrin, who lived near the Tran family at the time, was charged with her murder in August, 1999, after a lengthy investigation led by RCMP Sgt. Gary Tidsbury.

More than 80 witnesses testified at the trial, which was held in Vancouver over the course of nearly seven months, and Murrin was ultimately acquitted. According to Kelowna Mounties, Tran’s murder is still an open investigation, although there doesn’t seem to be much hope that whoever killed the girl will be held accountable. “The investigation re-

mains open. The person we believe to be responsible for the murder of Mindy Tran was charged and acquitted,” Const. Kris Clark said this week in Kelowna. Clark explained that investigations are concluded when they are cleared through disposition in court, through restorative justice measures or even a violation ticket. “In this particular case, because there was an ac-

quittal and because of the severity of the offence, that file can’t be closed,” he said. “If any new information were to come to light then that would be added to the investigational file.” Whether any new information has been offered to police also remains a mystery. Clark said he couldn’t speak to whether or not the file has grown since Murrin was acquitted. The Mountie’s

role in the investigation has also been a focal point of the Tran investigation. In 2009, Murrin settled out of court a lawsuit where he alleged Sgt. Tidsbury manufactured the case against him, and that three men were enlisted to beat a confession out of him. He spent 11 days in hospital as a result of his injuries at that time. The details of that settlement haven’t been released.

Professor’s research unlocks key to future prosperity Extensive research conducted by the Okanagan Wine Festivals Society, the British Columbia Wine Institute and Okanagan College’s School of Business has uncovered what motivates wine visitors to come to this region and the secret to ensuring they return. This is especially important given the Okanagan’s increasing profile on the global wine stage. A July poll of readers of the U.S.’s largest circulating newspaper, USA Today, found the Okanagan was the #2 wine destination in the world, second only to Alentejo, Portugal. “Using interviews with 900 visitors to the Winter, Spring and Fall Okanagan Wine Festivals in 2012 and early 2013, we looked specifically at what impact wine-related events and festivals had on their desire to come to the region,” said Blair Baldwin, leader of the re-

Blair Baldwin search project. Baldwin is an Okanagan College School of Business professor and the general manager of the Okanagan Wine Festivals Society. Baldwin and his team discovered that the greatest influence on visitor motivation was event and festivals execution— meaning not just the presence of those events but also the experience guests had while there. “You may sell out your event or win an award for your wine but if you haven’t devoted enough re-

Gore Foundation makes $175,000 donation to the YMCA Spirits at the YMCAs across Canada were buoyed this week by the announcement of a $175,000 donation from the Gore Mutual Foundation. This donation is made in celebration of Gore Mutual Insurance Company’s 175th anniversary. The $175,000 gift will allow 17 YMCA overnight camps in Ontario and British Columbia, to purchase or repair 175 boats. In our region, the Central Okanagan YMCA will receive $10,000 of that money to add 18 new kayaks at the Silver Lake summer camp. “The significance of this donation goes well beyond boats,” said Rhonda Zakala, spokesperson for the Central Okanagan YMCA. “This generous gift from Gore Mutual Foundation will allow Silver Lake Camp to build our waterfront program, an integral part of the camp experience. 2,000 children who attend this camp annually will benefit from enhanced boating programs.” “As we honour Gore Mutual’s 175th anniversary, our foundation con-

tinues a long history of supporting communities across Canada,” added Heidi Sevcik, president and CEO of Gore Mutual Insurance Company. “Partnering with YMCA Canada and their camps is a natural fit, as they share our passion for building leaders of tomorrow and fostering an appreciation for our great Canadian wilderness.” The 175 boats overall to be purchased or repaired—including canoes, kayaks, sailboats and windsurfers—will allow YMCA camps to grow their waterfront programs.

sources to ensuring a seamless experience, such as having prominent directional signage, good traffic flow to your wine shop, enough tasting room servers, and ample parking, visitors won’t return. And they won’t recommend it to their friends either,” he said. Baldwin was invited to present these groundbreaking findings at the prestigious Academy of Wine Business Research

conference at the University of Geisenheim in Germany earlier this summer. “The critical knowledge gained from this primary research will add so much value to the industry,”said Jonathan Rouse, Okanagan College’s director of food, wine and tourism. “This was a rare opportunity to promote Okanagan College and our region’s exceptional

t used to be that one didn’t venture alone down a suspiciously dark alley for fear of being mugged. Technology, of course, has long since brought robbers to our doorsteps, via telephones and computers. Judging by recent complaints to a Lower Mainaland newspaper, we can’t afford to relax our vigilance at home, with conscienceless scammers ever-ready to exploit age, infirmity, inattention or our own naturally trusting natures. The young friend or relative-in-distress scenario is still alive and kicking, according to one recent complaint. The woman in question, a senior, received a call

from a young man trying to give the impression he was her grandson. “Hi, Grandma!” “Who is this?” “Who do you think it is?” “Mike?” (or whatever the appropriate name is). At this point, the scammer is armed with an identity, and with a few more leading questions will soon have enough to back it up convincingly. The caller is, of course, in some predicament that requires the sending of money, and the easiest way is by providing financial information that will compromise the victim’s accounts. Fortunately, the reader in question caught on before any informa-

tion was passed on. But it’s a coldhearted scheme, relying on seniors’ perceptions of the casual haphazardness of the young, and the fact that they may be delighted to hear from a usually uncommunicative relative. Another reader said he recently made the mistake of responding to an offer to rid his computer of viruses and malware at a special price. It was a limited-time offer, he was told. Thus baited, he was offered a series of options that tested his willingness to co-operate and compromise computer passwords —with the result that malware was actually installed, shutting down his system. He didn’t lose money,

per se—other than having to pay for costly repair and file retrieval— but he still worries that his computer was mined for sensitive information. Each of these schemes has a common lynch-pin – catching the recipient off-guard with a time-sensitive request, calling for a snap decision. We should never volunteer information on the spur of the moment. Nothing is lost by a short time-out for careful consideration. A real friend or relative, or legitimate business, will respect a small delay. If they don’t, it should provide the reddest of red flags.

Public awareness Paul Hergott campaigns have successfully transformed our society from the old days when I was a child, playing unbelted on cushions in the back seat during long road trips, to the present day when it is rare to see anyone unbelted.

pulled the belt over the shoulder and clicked it in. We think of anyone driving without a seatbelt as being careless, taking on a risk that could so easily be avoided. There is another risk, though. The other risk is the complacency that comes from a false sense of safety and security. The notion that ‘If I am wearing my seatbelt, I will avoid a serious injury’ is simply not true. The reality is that while a seatbelt offers an overall statistical advantage, the use of a seatbelt in a particular crash or collision may do nothing to protect you. For example, a seatbelt will do nothing to protect a driver’s body and head from the forces of

a driver’s side T-bone impact. There are also types of collisions where the seatbelt will prevent impact injuries that would otherwise occur when your body is flung into the steering wheel and dash board, but will actually cause other injuries that occur because your waist and one shoulder are held in place while the rest of your body and head are free to fling around. In rare circumstance, a seatbelt can actually kill you, if it holds you within a vehicle that sustains catastrophic damage. Does it matter that there are some crashes and collisions where a seatbelt will do nothing to help or might

Who pays for electric car ‘fill-up’? To the editor: Re your article of Aug.14, 2014 (Fast Charging Station Offered to West Kelowna). While I applaud clean energy use, I must object to the way this system is being implemented, for the following reasons: 1. BC Hydro is funding the building of the

charging system. Ask a hydro customer why, if we don’t have an electric car, are we are funding this station? 2. It is estimated by the District of West Kelowna to cost $1,000 a year to maintain the station. How did the district reach this figure? Did it do a cost analyses broad sheet? What

if it costs more to maintain? Who is going to pay the extra costs for the extra maintenance? The district? Is the district going to pay this $1,000 for yearly maintenance? 3. The article says it will cost $2/session. Again, on what basis is this cost being based? 4. Will the cost include

all taxes (including transit levies)? 5. Are there going to be service people (like gas attendants) at the station? If so, who will pay their wages? At what wage will they be paid? 6. Will this $2 charge be a flat rate or will it depend on how much electricity is used to charge the

▼ HIGHWAYS & BYWAYS

On traffic speed traps and senior drivers To the editor: A recent editorial in Maclean’s magazine praised the fact that B.C.’s speed limits have been raised to match the natural flow of traffic at which 85 per cent of drivers travel. While this may apply to the Coquihalla and a few other spots, it certainly does not apply to the WR Bennett Bridge or Bridge Hill.

The bridge is posted at 60 km/h with absolutely no one doing under 80. The only saviour here is the RCMP can’t really set up a speed trap unless they use a handheld on the sidewalk. The real travesty is coming down the hill from West Kelowna. This is posted at 50 km/h for construction that is occurring way off in the

Grateful for pay-itforward kindness To the editor: To the two gals in Milestones on Friday, Aug. 15 around 7:30 p.m. Thank so very much for your wonderful act of kindness in paying for our dinner without our knowing.

It should be relaxing to watch a group of men “fishing” but this activity seems to elicit a more negative reaction. While I am beating the driving drum, I wonder if there is any answer to re-certifying the large

number of senior drivers in this town. Just go to any large store parking lot and watch. Very slow moving vehicles piloted by seniors who can barely walk. Watch them try and get out of the car and shuffle to the store. What kind of reaction time do they have if a kid runs out in front of them? We often hear of sen-

Only thing not great at Kelowna’s Hospice House is the food To the editor: I would like to express my great appreciation for the wonderful care I recently received at Hospice House, Kelowna. It is a place of perfection, where everyone with whom I came in contact, including all staff and every volunteer, is a healer. Each visitor who came to see me felt the same sense of overwhelming

goodness that permeates the place. We have a jewel in our community that we should all celebrate it. Awareness of its presence must be of great comfort and peace of mind to anyone experiencing end-oflife issues in the family. Criticism of the food provided to patients by Interior Health Authority is, indeed, very valid. The fact that IHA does not use its purchasing power

to obtain great contracts from local food industries to provide good, fresh, local nourishment to its clients is, in my opinion, disgraceful! That being said, I want to express my feelings of absolute inspiration and heartfelt gratitude to all those marvellous caregivers at Hospice House. Joan Richard, Kelowna

Insurance repercussions for unbelted passengers Hergott from A8 other words, if an unbelted passenger is injured because the driver crashes the car, the defending insurance company will escape having to fully compensate the injured passenger if the use of the seatbelt would have prevented or reduced the injury. This issue came up in the July 25, 2014, decision of Mr. Justice Grauer in Van v. Howlett. Ms. Van was the front seat passenger of a vehicle that was T-boned at the rear driver’s side, causing the vehicle to spin counterclockwise, launch into the air, land on the passenger side, and then bounce back to an upright pos-

ition. Ms. Van was ejected from the vehicle. The injuries were very significant, and the court assessed a valuation of fair financial compensation for her injuries and losses to be over $4 Million. Mr. Justice Grauer found that the most serious of Ms. Van’s injuries “were caused by the massive and sustained force of the impact between her side of the vehicle and the road, which the seatbelt would not have prevented”. The defence tried to argue that the court should conclude that the failure to wear a seatbelt would at least have lessened her injuries, even though there was no dir-

ect evidence of that. They relied on statistical evidence that those ejected from a vehicle generally face a much higher injury exposure. The court rejected that argument, citing the following quote from another case: “The statistical effectiveness of seat belts has not, however, in my view eliminated, or altered, the onus of proof in individual cases. The onus remains on the defendant to show upon a balance of probability that the use of a functioning seatbelt would have avoided, or minimized, the injuries which were in fact suffered by the plaintiff.” Yes, Ms. Van should have been wearing her seatbelt; we all should.

Our general perception and the statistical advantage seatbelts offer, though, should not get in the way of justice if in a particular crash it is not proven that the seatbelt

would have made any difference. Paul Hergott is a personal injury lawyer at Hergott Law in West Kelowna. paul@hlaw.ca

Who’s got Vibey? Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

The people behind the brazen “kidnapping” of one of this city’s most recognizable trucks could already be in the crosshairs of local police. “The key is the key,” said Wyn Lewis, owner of Vibrant Vine winery and “Vibey,” the little truck that was swiped earlier this week. Closed circuit TV footage plainly shows potential suspects fiddling about with the ignition of the old Suzuki truck, which is covered in a joyful explosion of colour in keeping with the winery’s signature bottle designs. Now it’s just a matter of time until the authorities can connect the dots and track down the thieves, concluded Lewis.

That said, it’s unclear whether Vibey will escape the dastardly deed unscathed. “We are distraught that poor Vibey, has been kidnapped and that he is out on the road,” said Lewis. “We only used him gently on the winery property, and going down and up steep hills will not be good at all. This is his retirement.” The truck is mostly used to drive back and forth between the warehouse and tasting room. Winery staff keep the key in the ignition, but the key had gone missing at around 1:30 p.m. that day. The truck was later driven through the orchard into the great beyond at around 10 p.m. “You couldn’t drive down the street in Vibey without someone calling

the RCMP,” said Lewis. “It’s the most recognizable truck in the whole of Kelowna. Vibey is all over Facebook. All the tourists are so enamoured with the truck, we have a long series of stories of it being loaded with wine, crossing Coquihalla and delivering out new Woops wine to Vancouver.” Part of the fun of the Vibrant Vine experience is, in fact, Vibey. It’s highly visible nature leads Lewis to believe it was stolen to be ripped apart for spare parts, although he hopes that’s not the case. To sweeten the pot for those who have some information, Lewis said a case of their very best WOOPS wine will be disbursed to anyone who brings good news of Vibey’s fate.

VIBEY, Vibrant Vines’ stand-out vintage Suzuki truck dressed in a vibrant colourful wrap, was stolen earlier this week.

Research into B.C.’s most treasured resource: H2O Grace H. Fan, assistant professor of strategy and entrepreneurship with UBC Okanagan’s Faculty of Management, has been granted $73,800 over two years from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSCHRC) to support research on the discourse on water in B.C. “BC is going to have a new water act—the Sustainable Water Act, which is replacing the more than 100-year-old water act, and it is going to have a significant impact on the way water is managed throughout BC,” says Fan, who uses organization theory to explain entrepreneurship and water sustainability. Organizational theory is the study of organizations and their interrelationship with the environment in which they operate. “My research will focus on the process of how the BC Sustainable Water Act has been developed – who was con-

Grace Fan sulted, how they were involved, the transparency of those consultations, and what, if any, influence or impact those dialogues have in forming policy for the Sustainable Water Act.” Fan and her co-investigator, Dev Jennings from the University of Alberta, are interested in the process of how the policy is developed, and will also examine how the policy is received by the community and stakeholders, and what further negotiations take place. They will also look at how the Sustainable Water Act will be im-

plemented at the ground level. It is anticipated the Sustainable Water Act will be announced and reviewed in spring 2015. Fan explains her research could be used by policy-makers, communities, and stakeholders to better understand their roles and possible alternatives in the consultation and negotiation process, potentially leading to smoother implementation of policy and better collaboration from stakeholders. Fan’s past research has applied organizational theory to the collaborative model created by the Okanagan Basin Water Board and Okanagan Water Stewardship Council. “What the OBWB and OWSC have achieved by working together is often considered a leading example of water management in Canada, and the whole of North America.

Spies, double agents and fugitives take over Okanagan College campus Dive right into the world of espionage and intrigue at Okanagan College this fall. English professor Matt Kavanagh will take students on a journey through some of the most riveting 20th century British spy novels ever written in ENGL 213 (Studies in British Literature) which focuses on spies, double agents, and fugitive authors. “Even though the genre gets its start at the beginning of the 20th century, the subject matter is very contempor-

ary: declining geopolitical power, betrayal, and terrorism,” said Kavanagh. “Fantasy figures like James Bond are meant to embody a sense of national virility at a time when Britain’s sense of its place in the world was very much in question. “Then there are organization-men like George Smiley who orchestrate intrigue from their desks in anonymous institutional settings. “Most interesting are the traitors who spy against their own country

and serve as scapegoats whose betrayal ‘explains’ Britain’s keenly felt sense of diminishment amidst a broad sense of decline,.” Beyond Ian Fleming and John Le Carré, this class examines modernist classics by Joseph Conrad and Elizabeth Bowen as well as contemporary work by John Banville and Salman Rushdie (who has written a memoir of his time spent living on the run from Islamic fundamentalists in Joseph Anton).

of several unique English courses being offered at Okanagan College this fall. Another is ENGL 204 (Applied English Studies), a course that puts students in the role of editor at an actual literary publication, Ryga: A Journal of Provocations. A companion course, ENGL 205, runs in the Winter term. “From content creation to layout, students use the analytical and writing skills they have learned in their previous English classes and master the applied skills they need to create, design and publish a magazine,” said English professor Corinna Chong. “Applied English Studies will not only appeal to arts students, but also to students interested in communications, marketing and business, as they will have the opportunity to run a real publishing company.” While the fall term is fast approaching, Okanagan College is still accepting applications for enrolment.

Sin City back for a worthy dame Improv brass at Alternator

ased upon Frank Miller’s acclaimed graphic novel series, 2005’s Sin City was both a commercial and critical success. Although director Robert Rodriguez was

MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis

mostly responsible for the technical aspects of the filmmaking (it was one of the first to almost exclusively be filmed in front of a green screen with the backgrounds digitally inserted later, otherwise known as a Digital Backlot), he credited Miller as co-director, because of how much they used the latter’s drawings as storyboards for the finished film. The two are back as co-directors of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, and like the original, it interweaves multiple stories— two from the graphic novel series and two created by Miller specifically for the movie.

CONTRIBUTED

MICKEY Rourke returns as Marv in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. Returning for the sequel are Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Jaime King, Powers Boothe, Mickey Rourke and even Bruce Willis (who died in the original). Newcomers include Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Josh Brolin, Dennis Haysbert, Christopher Lloyd, Ray Liotta, Stacy Keach, Jeremy Piven and Lady Gaga. The stories are set both before and after the events in the original movie, and if you are a fan of the original and of the moviemaking style of both Rodriguez and his friend Quentin Tarantino,

this is a must-see. There seem to be an endless supply of inspirational sports stories that could be turned into movies and When the Game Stands Tall is yet another incredible story. Based upon the book of the same name, this one is the story of the 151 game-winning streak of the football team from De La Salle High School in Concord, California from 1992-2003. However, it is not just the story of how the coach, Bob Ladouceur (Jim Caviezel), led the team from obscurity to the incredible success, but how the team and the

entire town overcame tragedy. Also starring Michael Chiklis, Laura Dern and Clancy Brown, When the Game Stands Tall is directed by Thomas Carter, whose previous credits include Coach Carter. If I Stay is based upon the dramatic young adult novel of the same name starring Chloë Grace Moretz (Kick Ass, Carrie) as a young woman who thought her toughest choice in life was between her dream of attending Juilliard or following a different path to be with her rebellious boyfriend. However, her life is shattered when she and her family are in a tragic car accident, killing them and putting her in a coma. For one revealing day, she is caught in limbo between life and death as she lives out-of-body, flashing back to her past and watching friends and family gather at the hospital while she discovers that there is a much tougher choice—whether to live or die. Rick Davis is the general manager of Landmark Cinemas 8 in West Kelowna.

Craig Pedersen, a Montréal-based experimental trumpeter, is performing at the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art in Kelowna this Friday, Aug. 22. This remarkable musician will shatter your expectations of what the trumpet is capable of, creating a tapestry of sounds and textures through a dazzling array of extended techniques. Pedersen has released eight albums of material, in a variety of ensembles ranging between composed material to improvisation, through jazz, free music, country and klezmer. Recent highlights of his work include collaborations with Lori Freedman, Nicolas Caloia, Evan Tighe, Aaron Lumley, Ian Birse and Laura Kavanaugh (Instant Places), Joel Kerr, and Mark Molnar (Kingdom Shore), as well as recording on the soundtrack for Robert Lepage’s Needles and Opium.

Based on the book by Richard Morais, directed by Lasse Hallstrom, produced by Oprah Winfrey and Steven Spielberg, and starring Helen Mirren, it’s a pretty sure bet that the story will draw us in and touch us all.

Joyce on track at California college Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Two years removed from high school, Keefer Joyce was waiting for just the right time and just the right opportunity. Both have come in the same package for the 20-year-old Kelowna sprinter who will ply his athletic trade while getting an education at College of the Sequoias this fall in Visalia, CA. Joyce, a former provincial high school and B.C. Athletics champion in the 100 and 200 metres, will compete with the COS Giants’ track and field program. “I’m a little nervous but more excited about what I can accomplish,” said Joyce, who was turned on to the opportunity by Okanagan Sun coach Shane Beatty. “I can’t wait to see what’s to come, it’s the next stepping stone for me and I’m going to do my best to take advantage of it.” Since graduating from KSS in 2012, Joyce’s sprinting career has been in a holding pattern of sorts. There’s been no appreciable improvement in his skills or results during that time—due in large part to a lack of high-calibre competitions. Brandt Fralick, Joyce’s coach and confidant for the last seven years, said that is all about to change.

▼ QUALITY VS QUANTITY

Numbers down but quality steady at Rockets’ rookie camp Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

There won’t be nearly the quantity, but Lorne Frey still expects ample quality at this year’s version of Kelowna Rockets’ rookie camp. With around 100 players set to take to the ice Thursday at Prospera Place—down from more than 150 last year—it will be one of the smallest rookie crops ever for the Western Hockey League club. The Rockets’ director of player personnel said several factors have contributed to lower numbers, including cost and other teams being more proactive. “It’s not cheap to travel and I think a lot of people think twice about that and want to stay closer to home than they have in the past,” said Frey. “What you’re seeing is

To address the needs of parents and young players, Kelowna Minor Hockey and Mission Sports will be co-hosting a charity Hockey Swap this Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 4-2121 Springfield Rd. All of the revenue will be split between the seller and charity, with 70 per cent going to the seller and 30 per cent being allotted to Athletics 4 Kids and KidSport. Equipment drop off is between 6 and 8 p.m. on Thursday and Friday. Unsold equipment and money can be picked up between 4 and 6 p.m. on Sunday.

a lot more players going to camps that are close to where they live.

‘‘

WE’RE LOOKING FOR SOME SURPRISES… WE MIGHT HAVE SOME PLAYERS… WHO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE VERY GOOD. Lorne Frey

“A lot of other teams are making more calls now, getting kids to their camps so that could be another reason.” Still, Frey is encouraged by this year’s crop of mostly 1999-born players, led by first-round bantam draft pick Jonathan Smart. The first Kelowna product ever chosen by the Rock-

ets in the opening round, Smart played defence last season in Penticton for Okanagan Hockey Academy. The son of former WHL player Jason Smart, Jonathan took a bit of a growth spurt over the last few months and has Frey looking forward to his next few seasons in Rocket colours. “He’s smart, he’s skilled and if he keeps growing, he’s going to be a big, powerful defenseman,” said Frey. “We’re looking forward to seeing him develop.” The Rockets didn’t have a second or third round pick in the 2014 bantam draft, but had two picks in the fourth round and 11 choices in total.

And along with a few players who have been listed since the draft, Frey likes the overall quality of the rookie camp roster. “We’re looking for some surprises, we think we might have some players who were drafted in the later rounds that have the potential to be very good,” he said. “The quality, we think, will be fine.” With Frey and about 10 other of the team’s scouts watching from on high, Rockets’ rookie camp will run from Thursday through Sunday at Prospera Place. The club’s main training camp, under the direction of new head coach Dan Lambert, will begin Tuesday morning.

Kelowna’s Samantha Richdale will tee it up Thursday at the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open in London, Ont. Richdale qualified for Canada’s major LPGA stop based on her play this year on the Canadian women’s tour. The 30-year-old Kelowna golfer earned an exemption thanks to a tie for fourth place last month at the CPGA Women’s Championship in Komoka, Ont. At last year’s Canadian Open in Edmonton, Richdale tied for 62nd overall. Meanwhile, Richdale is currently 37th on the Symetra Tour money list with $16,134 in earnings. She is coming off a 33rd place effort at the Eagle Classic in Richmond, VA. A week earlier, Richdale tied for eighth at the New England Charity Classic.

Ex-Canuck talking leadership The Kelowna Chamber of Commerce and TEC (The Executive Committee) Canada have partnered to bring international level leadership presenters to the Central Okanagan. The first guest speaker generated from this partnership is Ryan Walter, an entrepreneur and leadership speaker in business as well as a former NHL coach and player, including stints with Montreal Canadiens, Vancouver

Canucks and Washington Capitals. Besides its members, the Kelowna Chamber is also extending invitations to hear Walter speak to the UBC Okanagan Survive & Thrive Applied Research (STAR) Facility and Accelerate Okanagan. Walter will be here for the presentation on Sept. 18. Walter has played and coached more than 1,100 games over 17 seasons in the National Hockey

League. Drafted second overall by the Washington Capitals in 1978, he was named the youngest NHL captain in his second of four seasons with the club. He went on to play another nine seasons with the Canadiens, winning a Stanley Cup along the way. The final two seasons of his career were playing for the Canucks. He was named Team Canada Captain in the World Junior Tournament, was selected to play in the NHL All-Star game and for Team Canada in four world championships, became a vice-president of the National Hockey League Players Association, and was honoured as NHL Man of the Year in 1992. Walter has been inducted into the BC Hockey Hall of Fame, the Burnaby Sports Hall of Fame, named to the 30 all-time

Washington Capitals’ Dream team, the top 50 all-time BCHL players and the top 100 Montreal Canadiens in 100 years. Walter has a master of arts degree in leadership/ business. He is the author of five books, the creator of the board game Trade Deadline Hockey, and a regular contributor to both online and print magazines and newspapers. He serves on the Hockey Canada Foundation’s board of directors and is a member of the Seton Hall Stillman School of Business Leadership Advisory Council.

aving recently transplanted myself from Toronto to Kelowna, one of the many delightful things I’m loving about living in the Okanagan fis the abundance of fresh, right-off-the-tree fruit. / For example, I’m astounded at the profusion of rcherries. Over the past several weeks, hubby and I have been epicking heaps of luscious cherries from a variety of orchards. h With our larder full to overflowing with these succulent stone fruits, we’ve had to be creative in using them. Just in case you’re EATING looking for suggestions RIGHT -on how to use up your sbounty, let me share with you some of our delicious ideas. p First, salsa anyone? Beverley We were having a light Edwards-Haines dsupper of baked, organic, stortilla chips with salsa, and thought we’d kick the salsa up a notch by adding chopped cherries. n Hubby initially questioned my culinary logic, but 5then couldn’t get enough of it. You could do the fruity-salsa-thing with other luscious fruits such as peaches, apricots and mangoes for a -nice savoury-with-a-hint-of-sweet flavour sensation. - Next, we wanted to make a yummy cherry jam .without the mounds of processed sugar usually added, so we simply blended pitted cherries with some pitted dates, chia seeds and a little maple syrup. Totally yummy, and totally nutritious. For breakfast, I usually make my Green Breakfast Smoothie with several fruits, nuts, ground flax, greens such as kale or spinach, and a few other ingredients. Well, tossing in a handful of cherries in all their deeply-hued goodness really “upped” the nutrition quotient by adding a goodly amount of vitamin A and potassium. Also, phytosterols in the cherries help to reduce the risk of heart disease. Then we thought we’d top all of our other creations with something totally decadent—cherry cheesecake. We whipped up ours with, amongst other ingredients, a “cheese” made of cashews instead of cream cheese, and a crust of almonds, walnuts and dates. This “raw” creation was so seriously yummylicious, we could barely wait the four hours for it to set in the freezer. Truth be told, we pulled it out after one hour and totally immersed ourselves in enjoying a slice—or two. Finally, we froze a batch of cherries for other upcoming, exciting concoctions. Summer in the Okanagan sure is juicy, which makes it wonderfully easy to get the seven to eight daily servings of vegetables and fruit that Health Canada recommends. Hey, have you had yours today? Beverley Edwards-Haines is a registered dietitian and Food For Life instructor.

CENTRAL OKANAGAN

Getting elevated a good thing for boomers Barry Gerding Editor The term “sustainable living” is being enhanced by a new home feature that used to be earmarked as an extravagance. The addition of elevators to Central Okangan homes, whether installing the finished product or creating the space for an elevator shaft in an older home, is beginning to have an impact on the local real estate market. And realtors are beginning to take notice, as the baby boomer generation ages into retirement, many are wanting to remain in their homes long after their mobility becomes limited. Nazi Khajavi, a local estate agent, said the market trend is clearly placing greater prominence on elevator installations as a desired feature for new homes. “I think people who live in walk-ups and are in a wheelchair or have trouble with stairs, elevators can help accommodate them so they can continue to live in a two-storey home,” Khajavi said. In this market, she says the traditional rancher option that retired folks might have migrated to in the past to eliminate the stairs issue isn’t the trend house buyers are necessarily looking for today. “They like the two-storey house primarily because of the views that second floor offers. So if you have an elevator, that opens up access for people who otherwise would be limited to the main floor. Having an elevator opens up the house to those who are mobility challenged. And the other aspect is just the convenience of moving up and down in the house or if you are having to move items around that otherwise would be hauled up or down the stairs,“ she said. With a price range that tends to start at

about $28,000, Khajavi says right now house prices for people wanting elevators tends to start at about $750,000 and up. But if the demand continues to increase, she sees that changing, noting that if you are not elderly or in a wheelchair, it’s not a feature you would think of including in your house. But with aging baby boomers, she says they’re not looking to buy a house as a transition to a seniors’ residence or even a smaller rancher—they want to stay in their Okanagan retirement home for as long as their health will allow them to. “One of my clients told me, about nine years ago now, that he wanted to put an elevator in his house and I laughed at him. Ten years ago, I thought it was an expense that he wouldn’t get back when he sold the house,” she recalled. “But now I look at it, I think it’s a fantastic addition to improve the marketability of your house if done properly. “The problem is if you try to add an elevator after the house is built without having allowed any space for the elevator shaft, it can look awkward. Even if the elevator is installed at a later time, if the space is there you can convert the shaft on the main floor into a closet until such time as you want to install an elevator. “It’s a nice feature to have in a house for those retirement home buyers.” Lance Davidson, president of Hybrid Elevator in Kelowna, sees a growing appeal for elevator installations in homes because it opens up buying possibilities for retirees. “For a two-storey home, you double your market from just below 50-yearolds to above that age as well for potential buyers. Having a house that is elevator-installation-ready is what we call a form of sustainable living,”

Elevators in local homes appeal to aging baby boomers. Davidson said. “People want to live in their homes for as long as they can, and not be forced into living in a basement suite or caregiving situation because they’ve become mobility-challenged.”

CONTRIBUTED

Davidson said elevator installation is continuing to become easier with technology, as well as more affordable. “For a high-priced home, it’s not the big ticket feature item that it might have been in the past,” he maintained.

Davidson points out that baby boomers are one of Canada’s largest population groups, owning 75 per cent of the country’s financial assets and controlling more than 50 per cent of the discretionary spending in North America. That also happens to be the market that Hybrid and an increasing number of townhome and single-family residence builders are targeting. Davidson’s journey to becoming head of an elevator manufacturing company started with his wife, who suffers from multiple sclerosis. A forest product broker by profession, Davidson initially looked into elevators to address mobility issues that his wife faced. Beyond elevators, the next most popular mobility enhancing product in the marketplace was electric stairclimbers built on stairways. But those products present several issues, he says, from having to get in and out of the chair, and having to do so at the top of the stairwell, which can pose a hazard if a person is shaky on their feet. Davidson’s family has a history in the elevator business back East, and he began talking with them about designing an environmentally friendly elevator that addressed issues of convenience, mobility and sustainable living for retirement-aged people. While the price may be considered steep for some at $28,000 and up, Davidson notes it needs to be considered against the cost of moving to a new location— realtor fees, moving expenses, etc.—and leaving a home and a neighbourhood you would prefer to stay in. Also, an elevator installed to meet a person’s mobility needs is non-taxable. Three years ago, Davidson started Hybrid Elevators in a downtown industri-

As well, the City of Kelowna has signed off on Hybrid’s quality and safety documentation procedures. “We stand behind our product and provide follow-up service and maintenance when required.” Besides homes, Davidson says townhome builders are paying attention to the benefits of elevator installation because of the stairway issue, some designs having two sometimes three flights with a rooftop terrace. “We just see elevator installations in homes appealing to an increasingly broader buying demographic as the baby boomers age,” Davidson said. “It’s an efficient use of building space, allowing a home to be built higher without sacrificing mobility access throughout the house.”

home Plan of the Week

Windows Galore! Light & Bright Designed specifically for a narrow lot, this two-storey, three-bedroom family home boasts a glass-railed balcony outside the master suite, as well as three covered patios accessible from the main floor. The home has three entries, each protected by a covered patio. At the front, the entry leads into the kitchen, while another entry at the back leads into the great room. The third entry opens into a corridor, with a coat closet nearby. The great room, with six large windows, will receive plenty of natural light, and features a wood-burning stove. The dining room, located in a bayed-out area, will also be full of light, thanks to windows on three sides. The kitchen is separated from the rest of the great-room area by an island with a three-seat eating bar. An L-shaped counter configuration will save steps for the cook, who will also appreciate the roomy pantry. French doors open to the large patio that overlooks the front garden, making al fresco meals a breeze during the warmer months. Also on the main floor is a two-piece powder room, as well as the laundry room. Upstairs, the master suite occupies a dormer, so the ceiling slopes in two directions. The en-suite includes an oval soaker tub with its own window, as well as double basins and a glassed-in shower stall. The walk-in closet will have plenty of room for clothing and accessories. The secondary bedrooms also feature a sloped ceiling, and share a three-piece bathroom, with a linen closet conveniently located nearby. Both bedrooms look out to the back garden, as well as having windows to the side. The large landing area is protected by a railing.

Smoke-free outdoor bylaws protect your community

Trish Hill

CONTRIBUTOR

Enjoying a summer picnic at a local park recently, I was surprised to see someone toss their cigarette butt into the long grass at the edge of the road as they left. Grumbling, a fellow picnicker collected the butt from the grass and doused it. “I don’t know why smoking is allowed in this park,” she said, pointing up to the tinder-dry forest stretching up the mountainside. “On a hot day like this, the whole place could go up in flames.” It’s true. Smoke-free public places protect more than our health; they also reduce the risk of wildfire. Cigarettes cause fires every year in B.C., many starting in the interface between communities and surrounding areas. Residents of the B.C. Interior became attuned to the risk of interface fires during the 2003 fire season. That year, fires destroyed 334 homes and businesses and forced the evacuation of 45,000 people.

Although lightning was the major cause of the wildfires that year, smoker’s materials were also a significant contributor. In fact, a discarded cigarette ignited the McClure fire near Barriere, destroying 72 homes and nine businesses including the major employer in the area. One important way to reduce the risk of fire between communities and forested areas is to prohibit smoking in local parks and trails. Community trail systems are often located on the perimeter of the community, close to dry forests and grassland. Parks are also vulnerable to fire in hot summer weather. Park and trail users who smoke may not be aware of the damage their discarded cigarette can cause. Local governments can reduce fire risk with a smoke free outdoor bylaw that protects these vulnerable areas and the community. There is lots of support out there for smoke free outdoor bylaws. Eighty-six per cent of British Columbians do

not smoke so these bylaws align with our community norms. In one study, 93 per cent of non-smokers

and 71 per cent of smokers agreed with restrictions on smoking in outdoor spaces and after the

bylaw was implemented, support continued to increase. More than 40 local governments in B.C.

have adopted bylaws that restrict smoking in outdoor public places such as parks, playgrounds and

trail systems. Trish Hill is a tobacco reduction coordinator with Interior Health.

▼ ENTREPRENEURS

Chase your business dream in a calculated process H ow many times have you sat at your desk, at the dinner table or driving your car and dreamed of creating your own idea for an entrepreneurial venture? I cross paths with people every day who fantasize about that, embarking on their own entrepreneurial journey. Yet here is an everpresent hesitancy that arises due to, among other factors, the inherent risks

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young associated with pursuing that entrepreneurial dream. Still, make no mistake—entrepreneurship is liberating and empowering. It’s quite possible

to eliminate some of the risks if one zealously engages in a sensible, strategic process when investigating a potential venture idea. That process should always begin with a search for the right venture idea fit, for which you may ultimately seek out source funding and establish a structure for you to exploit the opportunity in the marketplace. Such a process may, at first glance, appear sim-

ple and straightforward, but there are some crucial elements within each step of the journey that do empower aspiring entrepreneurs to minimize risk and ultimately embrace a successful launch. Let’s explore for a moment. The world is full of ideas. They are virtually limitless. Today, arguably, there are more opportunities present than there have ever been in history. Entrepreneurial

opportunities arise from social and technological change within our society. So the changes we’re going through now, both from a social and technological standpoint, are definitely greater than we might ever expect to see. So where is the next million dollar idea/opportunity hiding, waiting to be discovered? The answer to that question: Within you. Remember one of my old dictums—an entre-

preneur looks at the world the same as everyone else but thinks differently… sees solutions instead of continuing problems. But a great idea alone doesn’t logically guarantee success. An entrepreneur needs to be able to recognize when a concept has a realistic and potentially realizable chance to become something tangible and ‘hit it out of the park.’ So, opportunity recognition is the mantra of clear choice for our entrepreneurial expedition. How do you recognize this idea that you hope becomes an opportunity for you? What exactly does this little creature look like? It does, in reality, have to do with analyzing both the product or service in relation to the market you hope it will serve and explore if they may intersect favourably. I have assembled over the years an Opportunity Screening Guide which takes a bagful of ideas, filtered out the good from the not so good, that can logically be applied to a business plan venture launch. I have always stated that if your perceived idea can’t make it through my screening guide, the idea might not be for you to pursue. If so, skip it and move on to the next dreamscape. Let me capsulize for you dear readers, the following gospel: An idea is an opportunity when it is attractive, durable, timely and is anchored in a product or service that creates or adds value for its end user. The most successful entrepreneurs are opportunity-focused; they start their journey into the entrepreneurial world with a focus on what the customer and the marketplace wants and needs— and never lose sight of those points. So join me in exploring this process:

MARKET DEMAND

We are looking for a potential set of customers in the marketplace who may be currently underserved ( such as our aging population) and who may be looking for a particular product or service to fill a

specific unmet need. Such a product or service that adds value to peoples’ lives is the foundation of a successful entrepreneurial venture and will assist in the product or service selling itself.

PASSION

Always a Joel favourite, being passionate about your new product or service increases your ability and enthusiasm to market it. It also makes it easier to endure the tough times and testing moments of establishing and building your venture. Being passionate also means you will be more inclined to build your skills, expertise and understanding of the particular product or service you are intending to take to the market.

SKILLS

We all develop certain skills through the experiences of our life and our career/job paths. Most people with then intend to match such skills with a market need to create their opportunity. When launching an entrepreneurial venture, one can draw on a far broader range of skills and experiences to add value to their journey in the marketplace.

RESOURCES

Access to relevant resources can make the venture launch a reality and even contribute to providing the aspiring entrepreneur with a competitive advantage. Apply this framework for your entrepreneurial idea search. I also have a list in front of me with 50 tools for creating ideas that may be viewed at the website creatingminds. org/tools/tools_ideation. htm. If you have an “entrepreneurial spirit” lying dormant, explore the content of this article today, go to the website, and I am confident will inspire you to think, act and behave entrepreneurially. Best of luck! Joel Young is an entrepreneurial leadership coach, consultant, educator and founder of the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society. eagleyoung@shaw.ca

DANIEL, ALBERT (BILL) WILLIAM JOHN

August 18, 1919 – August 13, 2014 Bill was born in Cereal, Alberta, in 1919, the second of five children to Welsh immigrants, Albert and Florence Daniel, of the homesteading community of Buffalo, Alberta. Raised on the farm through both the prosperous years of the 20’s and the painful, dustbowl years of the Great Depression, Bill was raised to face hardships head-on. Like most men of his age, he proudly enlisted to serve his country in WW II, bringing all his skills and mechanical know-how to his role, as a mechanic on Spitfire aircraft, serving for five years, attached mostly to 412 Squadron, 126 Wing. He met and married Amy, with whom he had three children: Lloyd, Earl and Ian. After the war, Bill had so many successful careers, it’s difficult to count. He was a fisheries officer, owned large Caterpillar bulldozers for road building in northern Alberta, owned a car garage, a taxi business, sold cars and real estate, repaired microscopes, drove an airport-to-airport courier service and lastly, served with a security firm at the modern Calgary airport. Through it all, Bill always had a love of camping and the great outdoors. His trailering years with his wife, Kay, took them from northern British Columbia to Arizona, with lengthy family times in the Kelowna and Squamish areas, making deep and lasting friendships wherever they touched down. Bill is pre-deceased by his wife, Kay, his two sisters, Dorothy and Gwyneth, and his friend and life-long companion, his brother Lloyd. A son, also named Lloyd, was laid to rest only months ago, as was a grandson, Byron. His one remaining sister, Marjorie, aches with the loss of her dear brother, Bill. Sons, Earl and Ian, eight grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren will long remember the influence he had in their lives. He will be dearly missed by friends and family alike, for his wisdom, his wit and his touching sense of class. A Memorial Service will be held for his many friends and family at his home church of Westside Alliance, 2011 Daimler Drive, West Kelowna, at 11:00 am on Saturday, August 23rd. A luncheon will follow. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com 250-860-7077.

New store features big brand fashions at low prices STRAIGHT FROM DEHART

Maxine DeHart

eading off-price retailer Marshalls opens its new store in Kelowna today, located across from Superstore. The first 300 customers will receive a gift card. Marshalls is known for providing a wide selection of big brand fashions, a footwear department with more than 3,000 pairs of brand name boxed shoes and home decor items for the entire family. The store has a fresh, contemporary design with a bright layout and easy-to-locate departments, receiving thousands of new items weekly so every store visit is a new shopping experience. The Kelowna store is part of the company’s 11-store expansion scheduled for 2014. To mark the Kelowna store’s grand opening, Marshalls will donate $5,000 to Kids Help Phone. Marshalls currently has 33 stores. Kris Brewer is the manager of the Kelowna outlet. Well-known former Cabana Grille partner/ owner Jay Blackford has now ventured into the world of leasing and financing. After selling Cabana and its catering operation in March, Blackford has now joined the team at West Coast Auto (WCA) as the business development officer and sales manager. WCA is located in the new Canem

Auto building, 884 McCurdy Pl. Aside from overseeing the in-house leasing for Canem Auto, WCA has become a major lease resource for many B.C. auto and recreational dealerships. Keep a social media eye open for WCA and Canem Auto’s ‘Family In Need Campaign.’ Canem plans to give away a vehicle to a local family in need every two months. Call 250-575-2070; email jay@wesstcoastauto.ca. A Men In Kilts Window Cleaning franchise has come to Kelowna. Owned and operated by franchisees Gareth Rider and Stacey Steele, who relocated from Calgary, this is the 11th location to open since 2010 and the third in B.C. The new franchise will service the Okanagan Valley in residential, commercial and highrise buildings. Men In Kilts also offers gutter and siding cleaning, pressure washing and snow removal for residential and commercial customers. Call 1-800-7775458 (Kilts) to book or to receive a free estimate on any of their services; online atmeninkilts.com. After many years of owning and operating Heart & Sol Tours, Sherry Cote has sold the business to Bill Walraven and Kerry Logan. Walraven was born and raised in Kelowna and is a professional driver, while Logan has an extensive background in the travel industry. Cote will now focus her attention to her other business, A Vista Villa. Call 250-762-7167; email heartandsoltours@ shaw.ca or contact Cote

ment Residence is a senior living community located in West Kelowna on the western shores of Okanagan Lake where rural meets sophistication. Their goal is to assist residents to feel safe, be happy, healthy and cared for each day. The Heritage is managed by Diversicare Canada, who manage 35 retirement homes and five long term care residences across Canada. Since 2006, Diversicare has been awarded the National Quality Institute of Canada Order of Excellence (Gold). Heritage offers full or partial meal service, room service, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry service, catering services, assisted living, reminder service, and a guest suite for visiting family or friends. Charmaine Kramer is the manager and Monica Giesbrecht the assistant manager of The Heritage. Okanagan Lifestyle Apparel is a new online apparel company owned and operated by local partners Markku Luopa and Jackie Robertson. The company offers just what its name says—all-season Canadian brand apparel that encompasses everything people love about living in the Okanagan. It’s a new brand that is attractive, fits well, is high quality, soft, pre-shrunk and is sourced locally for both men and women. It’s a brand people can relate to as their own, and is a little more stylish. It also sells T-shirts and tank tops and are adding more colours to their line-up along with sweat shirts and hats.

Check out www.okanaganlifestyle.ca website and their great Okanagan logo. This is a great story. Kimco Controls Ltd., 104-171 Commercial Dr. in Kelowna, owned by Mark Hartwick, approached School District 23 to select an art student(s) to work with Kimco on a mural concept. Students Hanna Turner-Gervais and Larkin Dunn Warren, who graduated in June, were selected from creative arts classes by their art class instructor. Hanna and Larkin devoted evenings and weekends for more than six weeks, even during exams, to complete the mural, an enlarged circuit board which incorporates a few of Kimco’s actual building automation components and equipment. It measures 243 square feet. Both students received $1,000 post-secondary education bursaries. Hanna is enrolled at UBC’s Point Grey campus in the bachelor of science program. The students filmed, edited and posted their own time line lapse video of the mural being painted. Check it out at www.youtube. com/watch?v=kS_VktnUXZQ.

That is because only a police officer or the SPCA special constable can legally rescue an animal in distress from inside a hot vehicle.

Beach volleyball

Golf: Kelowna’s Richdale in Canadian Open

Kelowna’s Tessa Neil and partner Darby Dunn won silver at the Volleyball Canada Beach Nationals in Parksville. Neil and Dunn won eight of 10 matches last weekend in the U18 girls division. The only matches they lost were to Alberta, including in the gold medal final. On opening day, Neil and Dunn won three of four matches, then followed up by going 3-0 on Saturday to finish the power pool at 7-1. In Sunday’s quarterfinal vs. Langley’s Klassen/Crema they scored 21-13 and 21-6. In the semis they took down Surrey’s Stausgaard and Wagner 21-17 and 21-18. In the final vs. Pexman/Hill from Calgary, Neil and Dunn won the first set 2-17, but lost 21-

Tessa Neil 15 in the second to force a deciding set. Neil and Dunn led 13-11, but couldn’t secure the win as Alberta scored the last four points for a 15-13 victory and the gold medal. This spring, Neil, who attended KSS and played for the Junior Heat squad, was named the MVP at the provincial U17 championship in Abbotsford, as the Heat won gold.

A week earlier, Richdale tied for eighth at the New England Charity Classic.

Election nomination papers Nomination packages for the 2014 general election will be available at the District of West Kelowna starting tomorrow, Aug. 22. On Saturday, Nov. 15, West Kelowna residents will go to the polls to vote for one mayor, six councillors and one school trustee. Potential candidates can obtain nomination packages at the municipal office at 2760 Cameron Rd., in West Kelowna. “We have the packages ready for anyone who is considering run-

ning for office and we are available to answer any questions they may have,” said Tracey Batten, West Kelowna’s chief electoral officer. “The packages include the documents required for nomination but also key information including important dates, links to educational information and council’s strategic priorities and annual report.” The district does not require a nomination deposit; however, West Kelowna candidates are required to have 25 quali-

fied nominators sign their nomination. West Kelowna’s Election Office has created a webpage with a wealth of information for candidates and voters. The webpage, on the district’s website at www. districtofwestkelowna.ca, under Mayor and Council/Election 2014, includes frequently asked questions and provides information on mail-in ballots and even past election results. Telephone inquiries can be directed to 778797-1000.

World music this Saturday There is even more music to enjoy this weekend in West Kelowna with the World Music Festival in Memorial Park, Saturday, Aug. 23 from 5 to 10 p.m. “Not only do we have a terrific lineup of onstage performances,” said Creative Okanagan’s Ryan Donn, “World Music Festival adds free cultural activities and experiences, plus the excitement of the Interior Savings Kids’ zone.” Various food vendors will be on site for those wanting to purchase savory snacks or cool off with some refreshments.

“There’s nothing like grabbing lawn chairs and lemonade and watching great local and regional talent as the sun sets and the stars come out over West Kelowna on a warm summer evening,” said Mayor Doug Findlater. Donn said the World Music Festival builds on Music in the Park’s solid musical foundation which has been drawing up to 1,000 spectators every Friday night throughout the summer. For a complete West Kelowna World Music Fest lineup, please visit West Kelowna’s homepage at www.dis-
