CORN donated by Kelowna Farmers’ and Crafters’ Market vendors last Saturday raised around $326 for the Kelowna Gospel Mission. The homeless facility’s kitchen coordinator Matthew Reimer was serving up delicious ears of corn. “People are loving it,” said Reimer on Saturday. “They’re eating the corn, then asking, ‘Where can I buy it, it’s delicious.’”

Don’t keep First Nations on the sidelines Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna’s mayor says when it comes to regional projects, such as a bid by several Okanagan municipalities to acquire the unused CN rail line right-of-way between Kelowna and Vernon, it’s vitally important to make sure area First Nations are consulted and included from the start. Walter Gray made the comment Monday during council’s regular meeting in response to local media reports that the Okanagan Indian Band had not been consulted as Kelowna, Lake Country, Coldstream and the North Okanagan Regional District put together a proposal to buy the rail corridor. Kelowna is leading the negotiations for the four local governments. Gray said the OIB was consulted but declined to participate because it has a pending land claim for the Commonage area near Vernon. According to Kelowna city manger Ron Mattiussi, the band also has a “revision clause” for some of the lands along the rail corridor on its reserve that stipulates if CN does not use the lands for the rail line, they revert back to the band. At the council meeting, Gray warned that if First Nations are not involved from the start on major projects such as the rail corridor or the proposed second crossing of Okanagan Lake, there could be problems down the road. But he said in both cases that won’t happen as the OIB was consulted in the case of the rail line and the WFN is part of a technical committee for regional transportation that is looking at second crossing issues. He said the city has very good relationships with both the WFN and the OIB and feels the province has also learned to consult First Nations early on, after it failed to do so when it planned the William R. Bennett Bridge in the mid-2000s. But, while Gray said the province’s failure back then resulted in extra costs for the city when it came to improving the east side approach to the new bridge on Harvey Avenue, Mattiussi said that was not the case. He said the reason Kelowna had to pay more for the east side approach was because the public rejected See Land A4

Still no wine at local farmers’ market Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

The Kelowna Crafters’ and Farmers’ Market is arguably the most popular Saturday morning attraction in the city, but there’s one thing that could make it even more appealing. Market president Martin Miller said Saturday that he’s continually fielding requests from visitors

✔ BANKRUPT ✔ SLOW PAYER

✔ BAD CREDIT ✔ DIVORCE

✔ DISABILITY ✔ CREDIT COUNSELLING

wanting to know why the market doesn’t offer winery samplings. Kelowna, after all, is a key player in Canada’s wine industry. “Every week they’re asking me,” he said. “We want to, but we can’t let the wineries in until we have the OK from the city…they already have it in Penticton and Winfield, and there it’s been a great success.” The city will have to

hold a public hearing for that to happen, and they’ll need an application from the market to go through the process. According to Ryan Smith, the City of Kelowna urban planning manager, it’s an application staff have been eagerly anticipating for months. They’re currently working with the market manager to get the required licensing.

Once the application is in, it’s expected to take around eight weeks to jump through all the right hoops, meaning this summer has likely been a missed opportunity for the market to feature local wineries. The Liquor Policy Review recommendation to allow licensed manufacturers of beer, wine, cider and spirits to sell their products at B.C. farmers’

markets was implemented on June 21. To date, more than 100 B.C. liquor manufacturers have set up at farmers’ markets in over 40 communities around B.C. Many of those communities don’t have any discernible relationship with the wine industry, unlike Kelowna.

▼ RAILTRAIL

Lining up the dollars to buy CN rail line Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

The Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative is more confident than ever that a rail corridor between Kelowna and the outer edges of Vernon could still become a reality. CN Rail is in the process of abandoning the nearly 50 kilometre stretch of railway and as part of the abandonment process offered the line first to the federal and then the provincial government. However neither level of government purchased the line and now CN Rail will try to negotiate with municipal governments to offload the real estate. The fact the two senior levels of government did not reach a deal wasn’t a surprise to the Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative . In fact, the volunteer group says that gives a potential trail a better than even chance of becoming a reality. “We actually didn’t expect the federal or provincial governments to purchase the right of way,” said Brad Clements, a director for the rail trail group. “We know there is a strong appetite for preserving the corridor at the municipal level and we are confident they will “WE KNOW THERE negotiate with keen interIS A STRONG est to strike a deal. APPETITE FOR “Last October, we PRESERVING THE gave this a 20 per cent CORRIDOR… chance of happening. Today we give it an 80 per Brad Clement cent chance.” With the rail line out of use and CN looking to sell it to government, Clements and a group of individuals began lobbying for a trail to link the communities of Kelowna, Lake Country, Coldstream and Vernon. The Okanagan Indian Band is also involved in the process and is claiming parts of the trail as traditional First Nations land. Clements says having the OIB involved in the process is integral to its success. “The Okanagan Indian Band is a key partner in this process as the right of way also passes through two of their reservation properties,” said Clements. “This is just part of the process of turning this rail line into a trail. We respect their current situation and will support them in finding a solution.” Reports have the asking price for CN Rail to sell the line as high as $50 million. Local governments from all of the municipalities have joined forces to try and make the trail a reality and Clements says the asking price is just the start of talks. “It’s just that—an asking price,” he said. “The price will be unreasonably high. I would suspect the municipalities will in turn offer an unreasonably low first offer. “The real work will begin after that. We know that both parties wish to see this deal work so I would think they will bothX work to actively find a solution.” 10.375" 2.857

FATHER Andrzej Wasylinko, pastor at the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Ukrainian Catholic Church in Kelowna, blesses a plaque installed on the outside wall of the church commemorating the internment of Ukrainian-Canadians in this country from 1914 to 1920.

▼ COMMEMORATIVE PLAQUE

Internment of Ukrainian Canadians during First World War given sense of closure Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

A plaque has bee unveiled at the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Ukranian Catholic Church in Kelowna commemorating the internment of Ukrainian-Canadians in this country from 1914 to 1920. The plaque was one of 100 unveiled across the country simultaneously at 11 a.m. Friday. One of the internment camps,

which were the first of their kind in Canada and preceded similar camps used to hold Japanese Canadians during the Second World War, was located in Vernon. Father Andrzej Wasylinko, pastor at the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Ukranian Catholic Church, said for many who were interred, and their children, there was a sense of shame that stopped them from talking about their experiences in the

camps. As a result, the internment is not widely known. But he hopes the plaques will help change that and there will be a sense of closure for the Ukrainian community, which he said has contributed a great deal to the building of Canada. Ukrainian-Canadians, who came to this country as immigrants, were rounded up during the First Word War and put in the camps because they carried Aus-

tro-Hugarian passports and that nation was an enemy of Britain at the time. Some here, wrongly, considered the Ukrainian immigrants to be spies because they were from a country at war with Britain. They were, in fact, hard-working, loyal residents of Canada, who, in some cases changed their names and fought for this country in the war. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Pedestrian assaulted in robbery on Rutland Road North Police are asking for public assistance in identifying the suspects involved in the robbery of a 20-year-old pedestrian in Rutland early Saturday morning. The pedestrian was

He added the city always knew it was responsible for the east approach improvements and it cost $21 million for the improvements— which included realigning Water Street with Pandosy, changes to Abbott Street at Harvey Avenue and work at other nearby intersections—instead of $9 million for the couplet.

“But that had nothing to do with what was happening on the west side (approach),” he said. Unlike in Kelowna, the province paid for the highway approach improvements on the west side of the lake.

The advantage, says the provincial government, is the opportunity to build face-to-face relationships with their customers, provide tasting notes and offer samples and first-hand product knowledge. Jon Bell, president of the BC Association of Farmers’ Markets, noted that it’s an extension of the eat and buy local ethos that’s swept the nation. “Linking consumers and farmers with knowledge and understanding of food production is at the heart of all farmers’ markets,” he said.

“The addition of liquor sales at B.C. farmers’ markets is a great extension of the Buy Local and Make it, Bake it, Grow it, philosophies. “These recent changes have been seen as positive by vendors and customers.” B.C. currently has 275 wineries, 89 breweries and 37 distilleries. More than 100 of a total 403 manufacturers that are licensed have applied to sell their product at a farmer’s market—that is approximately 25 per cent of all B.C. manufacturers already taking advantage of this opportunity.

trying to disentangle all that,” he said. Originally, CN was asking $50 million for all the lands, but Mattiussi said that was a starting price based on a “highest and best use” estimate. Negotiations still have to take place. (See story A3) While he said he expects the final price to be lower, he could not say what it would be. And while he said the municipalities have not yet put any money on the table, Mattiussi said he hopes to see the province and federal governments contribute to the project.

Meanwhile, the city and its Okanagan municipal partners are putting together a proposal to buy the now unused rail corridor. Mattiussi said there are associated lands that are part of the overall right-of-way that would not be needed by the municipalities to create a trail stretching from the Central to the North Okanagan.

Stanley Cup makes a visit While Canadians may be considered diehard hockey nuts by other countries, Steve Pattison takes his enthusiasm to another level. That’s due in part to geography—he lives in Yorkshire, England—and as a result has to get up at 3:30 a.m. to watch live NHL games on the telly back home. So the opportunity to have a photo taken with the Stanley Cup along with his wife, Beth, and children, Brody and Beth, while here on a vacation was a big thrill. “I came to Canada 20 years ago and met my wife and just fell in love with the game. I can remember being (in Kelowna) I think in 2005 and watching Team Canada practise at that time. Words can’t describe it,” Pattison said as he stood just a few metres away from hockey’s ‘Holy Grail.’ As well, Pattison said he has a friend living in Langley who is afflicted with multiple sclerosis, so making a donation for the photo op was a double blessing. The opportunity to see the Stanley Cup in return for a donation to the MS Society was provided courtesy of former Kelowna Rockets goaltender coach Kim Dillabaugh, after winning his second NHL title as a member of the Los Angeles Kings coaching staff earlier this year. Dillabaugh, like all Kings players and staff, have an opportunity to bring the Stanley Cup to their hometown—or wherever else they might choose—for a day over the summer. Dillabaugh opted to give the public a chance to see the Stanley Cup up close and have a photo taken standing next to it.

A strained relationship with the Regional District of Central Okanagan isn’t keeping Wayne Carson from entering politics. Carson will run for Central Okanagan West director Nov. 15, even though he had a high profile battle with RDCO last year that ultimately led to him leaving his job as North Westside fire chief. “This isn’t about sour grapes. I believe the concerns of residents need to be addressed,” he said of his decision to put his name before voters. Carson, who had been chief for 19 years, resigned Sept. 16, 2013, claiming he had no choice given allegations and job changes being made by the regional district. He was originally suspended by the regional district for three days in June but details around that circumstance have never been made public. Carson then returned to duties after the suspension but a leave of absence began July 8, 2014. RDCO has always indicated that Carson requested the leave but Car-

son has denied that occurred. A former hotel manager in Vancouver, Carson has lived in the North Westside area since 1986. He was with the fire department for 21 years. He believes there is a need for new representation at the regional board (current director Jim Edgson is retiring). “We have no control in our community. We have seen changes to the water system and (garbage) transfer site. We have parks and no improvements have been made,”

he said. “There doesn’t seem to be any effective input from the community. We need a strong voice in the community to take a message to the regional district and get maximum bang for our tax buck in the community.” Nomination papers are now available for the Central Okanagan West position. Those people picking up nomination papers have between 9 a.m., Sept. 30, and 4 p.m., Oct. 10, to file their completed nomination papers.

Information about running in the election is available at www.regionaldistrict.com/elections. “Potential candidates may wish to consider the time commitment, remuneration, financial disclosure and reporting and other legal responsibilities that come with holding public office,” said Bruce Smith, RDCO communications officer. Carson wants assurances that RDCO will get mail-in ballot details out early to residents who are away for the winter or have seasonal property.

▼ SCHOOL STRIKE

Parents getting anxious about school starting up Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Whether students will return to classrooms next week remains unclear, but support staff have been working to ensure that schools can open without a hitch if a last-minute deal between teachers and the province is struck. “We’d like to run our regular school opening day, and get students in

and settled,” said Hugh Gloster, superintendent of the Central Okanagan School District. “It’s a bit unusual this year because we now have picket lines forming. So some of what may have been happening on these days has been put off.” Usually, registration takes place on the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of the week

before classes, but with teachers picketing outside the 43 schools in the region that process has been scuttled. “When parents see the picket line, they may be uncomfortable to go in, and we understand that,” he said. “So, we have online registration. Then when things are settled, parents can get back into school normally, and deal with

▼ KELOWNAYACHT CLUB

Old clubhouse faces demolition Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

It shouldn’t be long until the old Kelowna Yacht Club building is put to rest. Delays in the new development put off plans to convert the space into parkland by a couple of months, but the wheels of change are now in motion, explained Derek Edstrom, the city’s director of real estate. “We had to wait for (the yacht club) to move

out, and now they have,” he said. “So we have started the investigation to demolish the building.” The investigation has thus far indicated there’s some asbestos in the old building that needs to be safely removed before the old building is taken out. It’s expected to take somewhere in the area of four to six weeks for that process to be completed, and then demolition will start. “Then, depending on weather conditions, there

will be installation of major landscaping,” he said. “If it’s too close to winter they may have to be put off.” Meantime, the new yacht club will be nearly fully functional by the fall. In a previous article, it was written that the club’s downstairs tenant, the Cactus Club, would be open this fall. However, construction on the restaurant starts this fall, with an opening date slated for fall 2015.

The bill to renovate the changing rooms at the Kelowna Family Y has jumped by $300,000 because the parts of the city-owned recreation facility were found to be in worse shape than originally thought. According to Kelowna’s utility services manager Kevin Van Vliet, problems with corrosion of pipes and with the electrical system were discovered when crews started to replace the concrete floor in the women’s change room. At one point, the B.C. Safety Authority even ordered immediate repairs before allowing the renovation work to continue. Problems discovered over the last six months at the Y in Rutland during the work resulted in Van Vliet asking coun-

Of course, nobody has that answer just yet. “We may be forced to open under a continuation of strike action,” said Gloster. “There could be an 11th hour Hail Mary pass, but we’re running out of days pretty quick.” B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker spoke at an annual teacher training conference in Kamloops and called on the provincial government

to enter into mediation immediately. If not, he promised that B.C. teachers would be out in “full force” this week to pressure the Liberal government. The government has

announced that if the teachers’ strike continues into the fall, it will give parents with children aged 13 and younger $40 a day for each day of school missed to cover the costs of child care or tutoring.

the paperwork requirements.” Gloster said parents have been calling in to ask questions about issues arising from the ongoing labour strife and they’re anxious. “The parents we’re hearing from are phoning and wondering if they can get clear direction on when this will be resolved, and when kids can be back in class,” he said.

Van Vliet said emergency replacement work was done in areas that will be sealed over and other repairs were made in areas that can be revisited later. But in one case, procrastination cost the city. It held off replacing a sewer pipe over the facilities whirlpool and it failed, said Van Vliet. The additional money for the work at the recreation facility will be found through savings on other parts of the project and from city reserves. Council approved the extra expenditures.

School strike talks drag on

he evident chill in the air at night as August winds down is an indication that fall isn’t far away for the Okanagan. Another chill in the air has also returned, the one created by the stalemated negotiations which have fired up the blame game media antics again between the striking teachers and the provincial government. We have been treated to silence for most of this summer on the negotiations because neither side had any leverage—i.e.

holding students and parents hostage in order to gain contract concessions. In recent days, Education Minister Peter Fassbender has been telling anyone willing to listen in the media how the government negotiators are ready to negotiate 24/7 to reach an agreement. In case you forgot, he was saying the same thing in June and we know how that went. As for the BC Teachers’ Federation braintrust, they’re back pushing for a mediated settlement and to find comprom-

ise. We all heard that in June as well. It appears this will go down to the wire, leaving parents and students on edge as to whether school reconvenes on Tuesday, Sept. 2. It has been widely reported already that the legislature will not return for the fall session until October, so the chance of the Liberals enacting back to work legislation is unlikely. As we have said in this space previously, the strike will end and a contract settlement will happen when the provincial

government wants it to happen. The BCTF continues to shadow box in public about serious negotiating, but you need two committed sides to do that. Even well-respected mediator Vince Ready has opted not to participate in the talks until genuine progress on any disputed issues becomes more evident. The question remains how much longer is Premier Christy Clark willing to drag this out before it’s time to address some difficult issues facing our public school system.

sell part of what is now Mill Street to Westcorp to allow for the hotel development to proceed once the road is closed. The requirement for part of the road right-of-way was described as critical to the project progressing by Westcorp boss Phil Milroy after council approved the deal. However, a small portion of Mill Street (to the west of Kelly O’Bryan’s Restaurant) will not be sold. It will stay in city hands and become part of the a larger Kerry Park. But even there the city has come out a winner. Westcorp has agreed to pay for improvements to that section of the soon-to-be closed road to develop what is envisioned as a pedes-

trian walkway. With a $65-million development on the table, Westcorp is willing to do all it can to not only get its hotel built, but improve the surrounding area. That’s why it agreed to spend $5.1 million to build the new pier , dayuse marina and commercial dock just steps away from its hotel site on the keshore side of Kerry Park. It’s not just the company and city that are coming out as winners here. The facelift for Kerry Park will include turning what is now the parking lot beside it into usable parkland. That will continue the downtown lakeside improvements all the way from the WR Bennett Bridge to the north

end of Waterfront Park, with the upcoming opening of the new Kelowna Yacht Club and the planned expansion of Stuart Park. So it would appear the hotel project is paying off for the city in more than just its economic impact. The height variance application for the hotel goes to public hearing Tuesday night at Kelowna city hall. Alistair Waters is the assistant editor of the Capital News. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

▼ ELECTRIC CAR CHARGER

Adult & Childrens

To the editor: An answer to Doug McNair’s letter to the Capital News Aug. 21 asking: Who Pays For Electric Car ‘Fill-up’? Gosh Doug, don’t you know? The guy who spouted the remarks that there would be no “free ride” when it comes to BC Hydro. Remember him saying this and his exact remarks? He is going to cover these costs for us? Don’t hold your hand anywhere it may get soiled. This is a lilly-white situation for our energy gurus to pub-

licly answer for us and rectify. I have written a couple of letters regarding BC Hydro about rates, times, cars, and have no reply that makes me feel at ease. They feel that if they ignore us paying customers, it really doesn’t matter what they do or who pays. And, you forgot to include that fossil fuel vehicle operators pay road taxes to maintain, upgrade, and expand our highways in BC. I cry discrimination, just as you seem to do. Our government has

no plan or even idea of how to collect the due taxation, fees, subsidies, and blatant inequalities of this situation. Maybe they intend to give all vehicles free fill-ups? I can only hope that they will publish a truthful and honest answer to this for all of us. Just to take this a little further, Bloomberg.com ran an article on the fact that there are now computer programs available to tell smart meters and their utilities about each article [appliance] we have plugged in. Every

item has a distinctive footprint: shows make, model, age of, when on and off, etc. So this information can be used to bombard you with sucker lists to upgrade and buy new appliances, etc. How your chef cooks meals—nukes or bakes, etc. Even so far as to tell you what you are watching on your TV as every program has a different electronic footprint. Is BC Hydro gearing to bill you at different rates for when and what appliance you use? This is possible now. Everyone should be

somewhat concerned as to the power of outside entities prying into our daily lives. Will we see truthful answers to this? Who, in this province, has any interest in privacy and what they are about to be subjected to? Government? Utilities? I look forward to measuring this interest by the amount of mail they reply to here, including your readers. R. J. Brown, West Kelowna

I raised concerns through letters to the city and this paper that this change would also have an impact to those that live at Cottonwoods. Sadly, the city officials did not seem to care about the change or how it would affect people even though a suggestion was made of how the Ethel portion could be included and still incorporate the addition to the hospital pick up. There is no choice on my part but to accept the change that is

about to come with the new route. I have the following observations I would like to share. First: I was extremely disappointed with the response from city council who also received my letters of concern. Out of the eight councillors, only one had the consideration to respond back. Thanks Councillor Stack for taking the time out to acknowledge my letter. I was not expecting council to reverse the de-

cision. I would have liked my elected representatives to have at least acknowledged the issue. I will return the favour to the incumbents on November the 15th. Thanks for nothing. I used to believe that Kelowna was a caring community for the most part. This transit issue has taught me otherwise. The response back I got from the city official on this issue was full of stats and it even highlighted the fact that my next bus stop was

only 150 meters. The author of this correspondence failed to mention that I will now need to cross Richter which will ramp up the danger for myself. I guess our city people are not paid to care. Finally, to those passengers, please do not take it out on the drivers when you find out that the No. 8 no longer goes down Ethel. They are not the decision makers. Bill Mah, Kelowna

Gov’t dictates to citizens how it’s going to be To the editor: Our present political representatives, both provincial and federal, are doing very little, if anything, to address our needs and concerns. They accept being restricted to a ‘no free vote’ structure and are pressured to concede to the demands of their party. In my opinion, there are three main issues

where the majority of Canadians feel a need of correction. 1. There is a strong demand to eliminate the Senate. It is undemocratic in its origin and serves no useful purpose. Our politicians accept the Supreme Court’s ruling that there is no need for even the reform of the Senate. This decision should have been challenged. In

a democracy there should be no supreme power that ignores the will of the people. 2. There is a need for a more fair distribution of wealth. The gap between the rich and the poor is growing with more and more people being denied a good quality of life. The minimum wage should be a livable wage. The menial task jobs are im-

portant. Think of the problems that would occur if these simple jobs were not done. 3. Get rid of the unfair monopolies and tax exemptions given to large corporations and special groups. Most of the job creation programs provide part-time work. The large chains and corporations tend to limit fulltime employment by em-

City controls the message To the editor: The next municipal election is a few months away. I have been intrigued by a specific practice at Kelowna City Hall and I would appreciate a well-reasoned answer from council. I understand that soon after a municipal election, new council members are informed the city has only one employee. It is the city manager, presently Ron Mattiussi. Should any member of council want any information from a specific depart-

ment, he or she can only do so through the city manager. If this is correct, it does not make any sense. Better still, if true, it is incredible that no one has ever challenged this directive. As a resident, I could approach any department if I need any specific information, besides surfing City Hall web site. If I were elected by the people to serve them, I would refuse to abide by this one employee concept, would challenge it, and even would take it all the way

to the court. This practice must be labour-intensive and time-consuming for Mattiussi, unless council members never had to. I have gone through the Municipal Act and could not find any such a directive How and when did this practice originate? After the November 2014 election and council meet for the first time, who reads the riot act? And, is every single member of council happy with this directive? Mo Rajabally, Kelowna

SENIORS

Talk to parents about the need to move

arious reasons present themselves for encouraging a parent to make a move out of their home into some form of seniors’ housing. Safety concerns probably rank highest, as well as the development of memory loss. Elders living alone can often experience isolation so making a move to where there are other people their own age to relate to can have positive benefits. Loneliness can have strong adverse effects on health and precipitate depression in some older adults. Despite the opportunity for exciting new beginnings, it can initially be perceived by some as the worse thing since sliced bread, surely leading them down a road to unwanted loss of independence. Here are some tips for starting the conversation with a parent who does not have significant cognitive decline: But before having that conversation, think about all of the reasons they may not want to move and consider some solutions to these concerns. For example, if they’re worried about moving too far away from their church, look into whether a ride can be arranged with a church volunteer. Anticipating their concerns ahead of time may help you be more relaxed during the conversation and able to actively listen. Acknowledge their concerns about moving right at the start. Express the fears you have had in the past around change

and ask your parent what might make him/her anxious about moving to a retirement community. Explain why you think this is an important conversation to have. Say something like: “Even though it is hard to talk about the possibility of moving, I really think it is important we do so now because I am starting to worry about your safety in this house, given your recent falls.” Give plenty of reassurance that your number one goal is their happiness and their safety; you are not trying to take over their lives. Accentuate the values of more freedom and choice to use their energy for making new friends and enjoying new activities, rather than cooking, cleaning or worrying about yard work. If you have examples of people you know who have made a move and are happy about it, recount them. You may even be able to utilize that person to talk to your parent themselves or host them at a complimentary lunch at their retirement residence. Remember to be gentle, to frame the situation from their perspective, and avoid trying to prove them wrong or prove why they “have to move.” Think about how you feel if someone tries to tell you what

you should do. No matter what their age, youthfulness stays in their hearts and they want to be treatMarjorie ed with respect Horne and validation, honouring their ability to maintain control over their lives. But even if you say all of the right words, if your tone conveys that you are trying to push them into a decision, they will respond to your tone rather than your words. Breathe and let go as the conversation unfolds. Don’t be overly attached, as this leads to being reactive to their concerns, which leads to a breakdown in the communication. Thinking ahead and being proactive about possible future transitions that aging may bring is not unlike planning that has occurred at other stages of life: planning the wedding; planning to have a family; planning for retirement. Remind your parent how well they prepared for these transitions in their lives and that this is much the same. Remember, everything happens step by step. Be patient. Moving a parent into a care facility can be even more emotionally difficult. As a family, we just experienced this with our own mom. The health system’s rules of having to accept the first available bed immediately when it is offered leave your head spin-

ning. You feel unprepared, as much time can pass before that fateful phone call. Your first concern of course is how you are going to tell your parent? How will they take the news and manage yet another readjustment in their environment and caregiving staff? This is when understanding the traits of this older cohort can be helpful. A generational cohort is a group of people who, usually within a 15- to 20-year age span, have shared common characteristics and common experiences during the course of their lives. People born from 1922 to 1945 come from what is referred to as the “silent generation.” Characteristics that describe this cohort are dedicated and hard working; sacrifice their needs for cause of the greater good; conform to rules, laws and order; respectful of authority; patient and able to delay personal rewards; place duty before leisure; adhere to rules. These adjectives are quite different than that for us baby boomers who strive for personal gratification, frequently are “workaholics” and place the focus for health and wellness as priorities in our lives. Walking a moment in your parent’s shoes and connecting with the traits that exemplify their cohort helps. Knowing my mom has an overwhelming trust and respect for authority, it helped me in having this conversation to include that this was a decision of

the doctor, how he supports it and what his plan is for her care. She also cares about others and understood the reasoning around the influence of this decision for the greater good of the whole family. Making change is stressful, but as always it involves keeping love at the forefront for your parent and letting go of guilt within yourself. Making the effort to form new relationships with care staff with a positive and open style helps them to embrace the special, unique needs of your parent and of you and other family members and in return, you embrace and are compassionate for the often difficult job that they do each day. More and more, as we all move deeper into these changing times of being the child caring for our beloved parent, we adjust. The journey isn’t perfect or easy, but staying centred and in balance helps. And in the moments of greater challenge, remember the Serenity Prayer: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” When feeling anxious about what to do, stop, breathe and listen. The answers are there, you just have to receive them. Marjorie Horne is the owner of Caresmart Seniors Consulting www.caresmart.ca 250-863-9577

Dementia research seeks answers for early diagnosis If you’re at risk of a stroke, should you also be concerned about dementia? Dr. Sandra Black, at the University of Toronto, sees increasing evidence that the two are connected. Both conditions, her research shows, are related to the health of the blood vessels—the arteries and veins—in your brain. A growing number of researchers share Dr. Black’s view. This shift in

opinion suggests an exciting possibility—namely, that controlling risk factors like hypertension and high cholesterol could help prevent or delay forms of dementia, such as Alzheimer’s disease. The challenge will be to identify people in the early stages of the disease, so that they can take steps to reduce their risk. Through the ongoing Sunnybrook Dementia Study, started in 1995, Dr. Black has collected brain scans of more than 1,000

patients with dementia. In addition, she’s attempted to link the patients’ brain scans with changes in their memory and behaviour, and comparing them to scans of healthy aging brains. “We’ve done scans in a way that’s enabled us to measure the brain changes in an objective way that can be linked to cognition and behaviour,” said Black. These scans have revealed the widespread nature of silent strokes—

they cause no obvious symptoms, but leave behind small holes in the brain. “A quarter of Canadians 65 and older have these tiny areas of dead brain tissue,” said Black. “Unlike major strokes which result in dramatic, almost immediate paralysis or loss of speech, silent strokes can cause a gradual, cumulative decline in mental abilities. “Another condition that affects the small blood vessels of the brain

causes partial brain injury that appears as small white dots or patches, and is present to some degree in 95 per cent of the elderly.” Dr. Black’s imaging research, funded in part by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, has laid the groundwork for the possibility of using brain scans as an early detection and screening tool for dementia-related changes. “I have a sense of urgency about the future,” said Black.

“We need to find ways to set up care to prevent this disease.” ••• Health Canada has a list of recommendations for avoiding a stroke: • Quit smoking. • Check blood pressure regularly • Eat plenty of fibre, and limit your intake of foods high in salt or fat • Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables • Stay physically active •Limit your alcohol intake.

Protect, preserve your joints

FITNESS FOR SENIORS

Bobbi Kittle

hat are joints and how can you protect and preserve them? Joints are the places where our bones meet, made up of a number of different parts that all work together so that we can bend, stretch, twist and turn within certain limits. The ends of your bones are covered in a thin layer of cartilage. This cushions the joint and helps to spread the load evenly when you put pressure on it. Over time, our joints naturally deteriorate so it’s important to take care of your body and protect your joints to maximize their use and function for as long as possible. By following some of the tips outlined below, we can individually work to minimize the effects of wear and tear. How is your posture? By maintaining good posture your muscles and skeletal system work together to put less strain on your joints. From your head to your toes imagine a string running through your body like a marionette. Stand tall and straight. Your back should be straight, chin parallel to the ground, shoulders back, and abdominals tight.

Find a happy median between exercise and not abusing your joints Kittle from A10 Consider the chairs you sit in. You don’t want your chair to be too low. The higher it is the less you have to bend your knees and hips to get in and out of it. Find a balance of work and rest to avoid undue strain and underuse. You want to be careful not to put undue strain on your joints, yet at the same time if you sit too long your joints will stiffen up. Be sure to move around throughout the day to keep limber and when you’re sitting get up at least once an hour to stretch and change positions. Eating healthy foods helps keep your weight under control and less weight means less strain on your joints. Every extra five pounds of weight on your body is equal to 20 extra pounds on your

Ask the

joints. When doing physical work be mindful of the joints that are working. Try relying on your larger joints to do more of the work and be careful when lifting something from the ground to bend using your hips and knees to protect your back. Also, use tools or instruments to aid in daily activities and give your joints a rest. As much as we don’t like to acknowledge the fact that we’re getting older some activities we used to engage in may not be appropriate any longer. Considering lower impact activities and exercises and hiring help for difficult yard or housework is sensible for safety and your future well-being. Planning how you go about accomplishing your daily activities goes a long way in protecting your joints. The “joint-smart” ap-

proach is to back off if your joints start reacting badly to a certain activity. It’s best to take a break than power through the activity and potentially hurt yourself. Plan and pace your day and try not to overestimate how much your joints can handle. Stretching is important to keep the range of motion around your joints. Daily stretching before and after exercise will help keep you limber, maintain mobility and decrease your risk of injury to your joints. Strength training is also very important in preserving joint strength, stability and guidance through range of motion. In order to have the strongest possible joints you need to engage in weight-bearing exercise to build muscle and bone. Another benefit of weight-bearing exercise is that it will help you to

I have some upholstered furniture that is a few years old and was wondering how often it should be cleaned. Are there any risks involved?

The fabric of your favorite couch or chair will absorb and harbor oils, soils, bacteria, germs and odors. Knowing that, do you still feel comfortable sitting in a dirty chair? It is recommended that most furniture be cleaned every 2-3 years. Conventional methods such as hot water extraction (steam cleaning) will wash that dirt through the fabric and into the foam at 2-300 psi. They will vacuum extract most of the water and soil but you will have to wait quite some time for the fabric to dry. There is also the risk of shrinking, color bleeding, yellowing and rapid re-soiling. What can you do? The delicate but thorough action of the Oxy-Dry cleaning system replaces antiquated wet methods and produces beautiful results that cannot be equaled or duplicated by other processes. No liquid touches the fabric…just a soft, gentle, dry, ozone-charged foam containing only 8% moisture. This cleaning media separates soil from the fabric and is immediately vacuumed into the recovery unit for later disposal leaving most fabrics to dry in 30-60 minutes. Oxy-Dry safely eliminates the risks so that you can enjoy the beauty and comfort of your furniture for years to come.

Q A

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. 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.

Q A

Verico Compass Mortgage Group Can I include the cost of renovations into my mortgage if I buy a fixer upper?

Yes you can! Even with a 5% down payment, you can get what is called a “purchase plus improvements” mortgage. With this type of mortgage, you would have to get contractor quotes outlining the specific renovations your are wanting to do. The Lender would then review these quotes and issue a mortgage approval. Typically, the total value of the improvements cannot exceed $60,000, but there are exceptions that can be made based on the condition of the home. Verico Compass Mortgage Group is currently holding a contest where any clients who do a renovation mortgage through them, are immediately entered into a contest to win $5,000 towards the renovations. There will be 1 draw per month, for the next 4 months. So there is $20,000 up for grabs! Please don’t hesitate to get in touch should you have any questions about this type of mortgage! Remember, advise is always free and I am more than happy to help.

Lambert leads new-look staff into new season Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

With five years in Kelowna already on his résumé, much of what Dan Lambert views from behind the Rockets’ bench this season will have a rather familiar look to it. What will change considerably is Lambert’s overall perspective and role, as the 44-year-old St. Boniface, MB native enters his first campaign as a head coach in the Western Hockey League. Lambert, who assumes the helm from the recently departed Ryan Huska, will be joined by a pair of newcomers to the Rockets’ staff—Kris Mallette and Travis Crickard—while Kim Gellert returns as the team’s skills coach for a 10th consecutive season. As the club’s 2014 training camp kicks off this week at Prospera Place, Lambert is grateful for his new assignment and is committed to upholding the standard set by Huska over the last seven seasons. “I feel obviously pretty excited about this whole season and this whole opportunity,” said Lambert, who first joined the Rockets’ staff in 2009. “The great thing about taking over from Ryan (Huska) is that there’s not a lot of things to change, just to try and keep the ship going in the same direction it’s been going, especially the last couple of years. “I feel we have a good group of leaders on our team and it should be a fun season.” With Huska’s depar-

An ex-Rockets’ player who has lived in Kelowna since the 1990s and has raised his family here, Mallette has never been all that far removed from the team. He skated with the Rockets prior to many of his of nine professional seasons, while also keeping in touch with Huska over the years. Well aware of the club’s tradition and expectations—and the club’s 109 regular season victories over the last two seasons—the ex-blue

liner is ready to roll up his sleeves and get to work. “I don’t think walking in as a first year coach, this situation could be any better, with so many returning players” said

Mallette, who was an associate coach with the BCHL’s Vernon Vipers last season. “Expectations are always high, but I think the regular seasons that have gone on the last couple of years aren’t sufficient enough for what our end goal is ultimately. Enough’s enough, we’ve got to finish this thing the right way this year…now we’ve got to take that next step by going all the way.” Crickard, a native of St. John’s, NFLD, comes to the Rockets after a season with the Ontario Hockey League’s Ottawa 67s.

who brings some technical acumen to the job. “I’m someone who is going to try to be here as early as possible in the morning, and stays late as possible. “I think the big thing for Dan and Kris is, they were looking for someone not only can work with the goaltenders, but someone who can take the lead on everything technological-wise, like video software, creating data-base of our drills online, things like that. I’ll add that component to our staff which should be a big help to those guys.” From the general manager’s perspective, Bruce Hamilton looks

forward to watching the newly-configured coaching staff evolve and grow as the season progresses. “It’s going to be a learning phase for us to go through,” said Hamilton. “Danny will be fine, I think it’s the other two guys who will need some time and are going to have to make some adjustments and learn about our league. “I’m excited about the way the three of them get along,” he added, “and I look forward to watching them mature as we get going. They’re going into the year with a pretty good team and they’re going to have to try and get the most out of them.” With consistent, winning Rockets teams taking the ice for much of the last decade, Hamilton has no complaints the club’s past coaching regimes. Still, Hamilton said the time was right for some new blood and new ideas. “It was perfect timing for both Ryan and Kim to move on,” said Hamilton. “For us, a restart button is always good in this case. We didn’t need a culture change, we just needed a little change in personnel, new voices will be good for our team. No slight on the guys that we lost, they moved on for a reason, they moved up.” The Rockets’ main training camp kicked off Monday with fitness testing, followed by on-ice sessions on Tuesday at Prospera Place. Kelowna opens the WHL exhibition schedule this Saturday, Aug. 30 at home to the Kamloops Blazers. Face off at Prospera Place is 7 p.m.

Rookie crop impresses with ‘work ethic’ Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

The numbers were down compared to past years, but as Lorne Frey suspected the overall quality of player was more than adequate at the 2014 edition of Kelowna Rockets’ rookie camp. Close to 100 players, the majority born in 1999, auditioned their talents during the four-day camp which wrapped up on Sunday afternoon at Pros-

pera Place. “One thing that probably impressed us with a lot of these kids was their effort, their work ethic and how hard they competed throughout the whole week,” said Frey, the Rockets’ director of player personnel. “We were happy with what we saw.” Frey and his scouting staff had plenty of time to peruse the club’s future talent, including defenceman Jonathan Smart, the Rockets’ first round

“Every session (Smart) got better and better,” said Frey. “He’s a nice player, moves the puck very well and his skating is really starting to take off. No question, he was the No. 1 D-man out here which, as the top pick, he should be.” Smart, the son of former WHL defenceman Jason Smart, is the first Kelowna product ever to be chosen by the Rockets in the opening round of the bantam draft.

To get to officially step on the ice as a member of the Rockets was the realization of a childhood dream for Smart. “To be from Kelowna and just being able to step out there and represent the Rockets is awesome,” said Smart, who plays at Okanagan Hockey Academy in Penticton. “It felt good…at first I was just trying to get my legs, but by the end of camp I think I found my stride and felt like I was doing well.” Frey was pleased with the play of several other draft picks at camp, including fourth-round pick Jordan Sandhu and sixth-rounder Conner Bruggen-Cate, who was forced to leave camp early with an injury. Frey added that the goaltending talent at this year’s camp is the strongest he’s seen in years and should bode well for the club’s future in net. Smart, along with the other nine draft choices and a number of walkons, will remain with the Rockets for the start of main training camp, before returning to their respective midget teams. On-ice sessions, featuring about 60 players will run from Tuesday through Friday at Prospera Place. The Rockets will host the Kamloops Blazers in exhibition action on Saturday night.

On defense, the Sun picked off three Broncos passes—one each from Brennan Van Nistelrooy, JT Fernandez and Landon King—while Robbie Yochim and Ron Mwamba combined for 15 tackles. Following a week off, the Sun will return to action Saturday, Sept. 6 when they host the Langley Rams.

Kelowna’s Ratzlaff wins B.C. beach volleyball gold Injury and loss of a partner almost deprived Kelowna’s Jenna Ratzlaff of a chance to compete in Volleyball B.C.’s Ama-

teur Beach Championships, but determination and a volleyball network of friends proved golden. Less than a week be-

fore provincials, Ratzlaff’s partner advised that she could not compete. Jenna put the word out to her volleyball friends that

she was looking for a partner and quickly found out that Alyssa Wolf, who lives in Burnaby was also looking for a partner.

Wolf has played for VIU for the past three years and will be playing this fall at TRU. To complicate matters further, while training in Kelowna, Ratzlaff injured her right tricep which interfered with her strong serving and hitting abilities. Even though she was in pain, Ratzlaff decided to go ahead with provin-

cials. Ratzlaff and Wolf met on Friday in White Rock and practiced for an hour together in preparation for the tournament the next day. Ratzlaff and Wolf were ranked third among 20 teams heading into the tournament at Kits Beach. Ratzlaff and Wolf easily placed first in their pool by winning their games

25-10, 25-10 and 25-13. In the quarter finals, Ratzlaff and Wolf won 21-14 and 21-8 against Chong/Ramloese-Svendson, in large part to Ratzlaff’s digs and well placed hits, and Wolf’s serving. The semi-finals saw Ratzlaff and Wolf come out strong against No. 1 ranked Weir/Ferre, winning 21-7 and 21-14. This game saw Ratzlaff power through her injury and both players served and hit strongly for a big upset. In the final, Ratzlaff and Wolf won 21-10 in the first set against Vancouver team Chen/Jaraczewski. Ratzlaff seemed to surprise Chen/Jaraczewski with her strong float serves earning many points with aces. Wolf also served well and called plays that had their opponents running. In the second set, Chen and Jaraczewski played stronger pulling out great digs and placing their kills well. At 19-15, Ratzlaff had a big one-hand dig tight at the net after a tip from Chen. Wolf got a perfect set allowing Ratzlaff to execute a powerful kill in the back corner. The final point saw Ratzlaff with another perfectly placed kill to win 21-15 for the gold medal. Other Kelowna athletes competing were Lindsay Smart and her partner Tanya Neuffer who placed seventh in Tier 1 and Erin Konrad and Sara Wallis who placed third in Tier 2.

Interior Savings invests $19,000 in the Y Supporting the Okanagan YMCA programs and services is an example of the Interior Savings’ philosophy to work together to build healthy communities. This year, Interior Savings has donated $19,257 through their Community Investment Fund, enhancing and expanding YMCA programs that are far reaching and have a sustainable, positive community impact. Some of that money has been earmarked for the Kelowna Family YMCA’s Early Learning programs for children eight years and younger to purchase and replace essential equipment in order to meet their growing needs. The remainder has been allocated to Silver Lake Camp, equipping campers with items such as lifejackets, paddles, basketball hoops for the new basketball court and out-tripping equipment. As well, the donation has made it possible for out-tripping for leadership development campers at Silver Lake, providing additional sleeping pads and tents. “The climb up Osprey Mountain was challenging, but I would do it

again,”said Danielle Carnell. “We finally made it to the top to camp overnight and the feeling of accomplishment I felt was great.” Danielle has been a camper at Silver Lake for 10 years and is now a leader-in-training. “Out-trips give our youth the chance to bond, overcome obstacles, and build confidence,” explained Brian Commons, the Silver Lake summer camp director.

“They learn how to work together to set-up an overnight camp which is valuable in their path to becoming leaders.” “At Interior Savings, we believe in giving back to community,” said the credit union’s CEO Kathy Conway. “We are proud to support YMCA of Okanagan early learning and camping initiatives as they help children from infant to teen grow into healthy adults. “Our goal is to cre-

ate opportunities for children and youth to build positive relationships, overcome barriers, develop independence and self-esteem, and establish skills that will take them through life.” Last year, 9,791 children, teenagers and young adults participated in Y programs that were partially funded by donors.

▼ CELEBRITY RESCUERS

Taking a bite of out animal cruelty A number of local media personalities were locked up for a good cause last Friday. Specifically, the group had from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to raise enough bail money from friends and business colleagues to “get out of the kennel” by raising funds for the Kelowna branch of the SPCA. Among the participants were Klaudia Celgarz of Global Okanagan, Alex Draper, marketing director for the West Kelowna Warriors, Christy Farrell and Ian MacKinnon with 99.9 SunFM, and Rock House Style’s Cheryll Gillespie and Sam Shakura.

“The inmates were in kennels complete with beds, toys and of course dogs,” said Heather Harrison, regional branch fundraising support in Kelowna for the B.C. SPCA. The phones were ringing at the Kelowna branch and the public was walking in to make donations as our inmates feverishly worked their phones, helping to raise $20,225.43 for our local abused, abandoned and unwanted animals. “We are so pleased with the effort by all our ambassadors and so thankful to the community of Kelowna for all the support we re-

ceived,” said Harrison. This year’s total is well above the $13,000 raised last year. The event was all part of the hype building for the annual Scotiabank and BCSPCA Paws for a Cause Walk to Fight Animal Cruelty set to take place on Sunday, Sept. 7, at City Park. “This year’s event will include one-kilometre and three-kilometre walks, Kids Zone complete with bounce house, games and prizes, The Dog’s Got Talent competition for dogs with a special skill, and our special guests The RCMP Canine Unit,” said Harrison.

▼ KELOWNA

Housing project for homeless seeks support The Inn from the Cold—a local registered charity dedicated to addressing the issue of homelessness—took possession of 1829 Chandler St. on July 1. This house is intended to serve as the office and free store site for Inn from the Cold, but also provide eight men experiencing chronic homelessness in Kelowna an option for permanent housing. The IFTC’s mission is to respond to the needs of people who are experiencing, or are at risk of homelessness, in a welcoming, compassionate and mutually respectful manner. The organization says the Chandler Street Housing Project reflects this mission perfectly. The project is based on the Housing First philosophy, which promotes the idea that providing housing is the first step to transitioning out of homelessness, not the last. This approach uses principals such as a low-barrier (no “housing-readiness” requirements) solution to getting someone into housing with personalized care plans focused on holistic recovery rather than simply “sobriety.” It aims to provide physical and mental support for these individuals in hopes of creating a healthier community in the long-term. However, the IFTC has recently run into some unexpected setbacks in regard to the renovations of the new building, and in order to get the house up and running they need the

community’s support. To comply with the City of Kelowna building requirements and receive an occupancy permit, the IFTC is asking for monetary donations to finish the renovations and get the house opened as soon as possible. Donations will go towards: • Building renovations—materials (drywall, t-bar) and labour (installation of t-bar and drywall, electrical) in order to meet fire retardant codes • Additional room furnishings which were not acquired through donations • Operating costs during down time due to setbacks—rent, utilities, staff wages, etc. With a push to finish the renovations, IFTC hopes to have a public open house in the first week of September. Inn from the Cold has already received support for the project from Central Okanagan Foundation, Rotary Club of Kelowna Sunrise, Home Hardware, Home Depot and ESD Simulation Training. The Chandler Street Housing project is looking to gain an on-going corporate sponsor in exchange for naming rights and advertising on the house which has Harvey Avenue frontage. For more information, go to indiegogo. com/projects/chandler-street-housing-project/x/8431674; call 250448-6403; or email Innfromthecoldkelowna.org.

Survey on developing strong neighbourhoods Resilient cities are made up of strong neighbourhoods. The City of Kelowna wants to hear from residents about how attached they are to their neighbourhood and what makes them a great place in which to live. A survey is available online at getinvolved.kelowna. ca until Monday, Sept. 1. Copies are available at City Hall or the Active, Living & Culture Office on Glenmore Road and Mountain Avenue, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., or drop by over the weekend at Parkinson Recreation Centre. Results of feedback will help the City’s Active Living & Culture Division develop pilot programs beginning next year that foster citizen involvement which will enrich the sense of connection to their neighbourhood. For more information see kelowna.ca.

BEAUTIFUL BRISKET…

Chef Stuart Klassen (right photo) was one of the driving forces behind the K-town Showdown, which brought 10 chefs together in the Urban Distilleries parking lot for a culinary competition. Linda Baird was by his side throughout the event ensuring their brisket was a fan favourite. Funds raised were donated to the Central Okanagan Hospice Foundation. Kelowna resident Randy Zahara (above) chowed down on some tasty treats as the event got underway. Classic cars (below) and music ensured that visitors had loads to look at in between bites of brisket treats. Shawn Hunt (bottom photo) from the Delta Grand and Dylan Barker of Ek’s grill in Glenmore worked to bring tasty goodness to visitors.
