First Nations’ rights supersede water licences

Jennifer Smith

STAFF REPORTER

Aboriginal rights to water likely supersede those of water licence holders and municipalities need to negotiate what this means before the issue ends up in court. This was the big take away from Friday’s Okanagan Basin Water Board annual general meeting where municipal lawyer and Hakai professor in environmental law and sustainability, Deborah Curran, addressed the implications of the new Water Sustainability Act. “It is very clear that First Nations have an aboriginal right to water. For example, (they have a right to enough) water so that salmon can return to spawn. That is quite clear, whether it has been said by a court or not,” said Curran. “So, what does the modern day water allocation look like?” she asked. “Well, obviously, First Nations have aboriginal rights for domestic use. The question of further than that depends on the history of that nation and, if questioned, those rights would take precedence over all other water licences that have been issued in British Columbia.” The Act does not ad-

Deborah Curran dress aboriginal title specifically. But given the Tsilhqot’in decision, which awarded 1,700-square-kilometres of traditional lands outside the Tsilhqot’in reserve in Central B.C. to the First Nation, court precedent on land claims with sufficient evidence is now set, she said. Her talk stressed the need to jump into negotiations with First Nations locally and generally adopt a seize-the-day approach to planning for water rather than waiting for conflict with the province and court down the line. Under the new water legislation, water is a “use right” not a “property right,” she added. As such, a water licence gives the holder the right to draw a given amount until the provSee Water A5

Blanleil calls it a career...for now Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Longtime Kelowna city councillor André Blanleil announced Sunday he is walking away from the role he’s held for more than two decades,

✔ BANKRUPT ✔ SLOW PAYER

✔ BAD CREDIT ✔ DIVORCE

✔ DISABILITY ✔ CREDIT COUNSELLING

but that doesn’t mean he’s slammed the door on a life in politics. “It was a really hard decision, even up until Sunday morning,” he said. “I kept thinking, ‘do I stay or go—stay or go?’ In the end I decided to

go, but I’m not saying I wouldn’t come back in four years.” The impetus behind the leap away from his political role is a desire to enjoy his life when he’s healthy and able to do so—maybe even put the

work/life balance in order by adding some more significant recreational plans into his schedule. As is, Blanleil’s busy. He oversees 21 Andrés See Blanleil A2

Electronic stores and is planning on growing the retail network even further in the days to come. That will leave him even less time for a political position, when things like sourcing suppliers are factored in. “Mostly, though, it just seemed to be a good time. “I’ve been doing it for 21 years and one of the nice things is we’ve just had one of the most successful terms I’ve been on,” he said

Some of the accomplishments the current council is taking credit for include the pier, the marina, the yacht club the Interior Health building, the Innovation Centre and something in the area of 1,200 to 1,400 new jobs in the downtown core. Blanleil, who’s been consistently pro-business in his tack, is leaving the city’s political sphere right where he once imagined it could be. “Kelowna is one of the top places to be,” he said, pointing out that

it’s grown by leaps and bounds, while taxes have stayed relatively in check. And, as the economy strengthens and as investment in key infrastructure grows, this city and region will continue to attract investors and people from across the country and beyond. Part of that projected prosperous future is city staff and fellow council members, he said. They, too, learned of his decision to step down this weekend and have had shared their thoughts

on his decision. “I think all of them are disappointed. I let them know all along that I was thinking of this, though,” he said. “Most said they wish I was staying.” Blanleil’s planned departure will mean council’s two most senior members won’t be back in 2015. Coun. Robert Hobson, who is the only councillor who has served longer than Blanleil, has said he is not planning to run again. Nor is Mayor Walter Gray.

▼ COURT

Eye witnesses recall shooting

n e dl e, -r rKathy Michaels ,.STAFF REPORTER e A relaxing tour through wine country was etturned on its head for a ncouple who found them-selves with a front row -seat to a high-speed chase -and gun battle between -the occupants of a van pursued by police. Gwen and Darren Fayant told the court about their view of the now infamous July 31, 2012 chase that led police through West Kelowna into the outer reaches of Vernon, Monday as week two of Michael Ellis’s attempted murder trial got underway Between 1:15 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. on a “nice, warm sunny day,” the Fayants were at the end of Mission Hill Drive, where it intersects with Boucherie Road . Gwen testified she was looking straight ahead, into the distance, when her attention sharply shifted to the right. “I heard what sounded like fire crackers going off…or bubble wrap, actually,” she said. Looking to see where the noise was coming from, she saw a lighter coloured van speeding along Boucherie, with two police “ghost cars” in hot pursuit. The cop cars had their emergency lights on and sirens followed soon after, she said. Then a second series of pops went off. The police vehicles came to a stop in front of their vehicle, while the speeding van took off into the distance. “A police officer got out right away and he was patting himself down to check if anything hit him,” she said, noting that he seemed “disoriented and

concerned.” The officer patting himself down was Cpl. Brian Harris, the court heard last week. He had been in pursuit of the van for four kilometers before several shots struck his vehicle, including one that pierced the window. In the car behind him was Const. Mike Phillion. The Fayants drove toward the officer and asked if he was OK. They then drove about 100 feet ahead, parked and gave their contact information, in case it would be needed. When asked if she could recognize the driver of the van in the courtroom Monday, Gwen said no. Her husband Darren, however, named Ellis as the driver. Other than that disparity, their accounts of the events that day were very similar: There was a man with lighter hair at the wheel of a van speeding ahead of two police cars. They heard four to five shots fired in quick succession and saw two police cars pull over as the van sped away. The bullets, they both said, seemed to come from the van. When asked what the impact of the series of event was, Darren said it was great. “At first I was shocked it happened—I was nervous, shaking,” he said. “To this day I can see… it clearly in my mind. It’s something I’ll never forget. It was traumatic. I’ve never seen or heard anybody be shot at.” Ellis is charged with 22 offences, including five counts of attempted murder. The trial is scheduled for four more weeks. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

A Kelowna man was killed Monday morning after being struck by oncoming traffic while re-fuelling his truck on the side of Highway 97. The collision happened at around 6:24 a.m. when a pickup travelling north bound on Highway 97 near Oceola Road and Pelmewash Parkway in Lake Country ran into the man as he stood next to his vehicle. The victim, believed to be in his late 20s or early 30s, died en route to the hospital. Const. Steve Holmes said there’s no indication that the driver of the

As of yet, no charges have been laid against him, although the investigation is ongoing. Traffic was reduced to one lane for two-and-half hours as a crash analyst went over the scene. The identity of the deceased is being withheld pending notification of next of kin. The RCMP are asking any witnesses to the event to contact Const. Beth Paetz of the Central Okanagan Traffic Services at 250-980-5353.

The coroner says it is is believed Maygard died in the early morning hours of the same day. While foul play has been ruled out, The B.C.

Water rules concern the BCFGA president

ince determines supply is not sufficient. There is no compensation for the licence holder if the supply dries up. This had the president of the BC Fruit Growers’ Association, Fred Steele, very concerned. “If we had a severe drought situation where the ministry told agriculture it had to drop its crop to the ground, you are saying there would be no avenue for compensation?” he asked. In the strictest sense of the legislation, the answer would be yes, Curran told him, but she doubts officials would target farmers when household consumption is so high. OBWB executive director Anna Warwick Sears made curbing neighbourhood watering

a key point in her address as well. “I know that Black Mountain Irrigation District was in the paper a few weeks ago talking about building this new reservoir. It’s going to take millions and millions of dollars, meanwhile we have this (habit) of over consumption,” she said. Some 25 per cent of the water used in the valley goes to watering lawns and gardens whereas the whole agricultural industry—fruit growers, vegetable farmers and cattle ranchers—only eat up 55 per cent. Warwick Sears reviewed a long list of problems and projects the OBWB is tackling. From the variability of the Okanagan water supply to climate change to population growth, demand for water is only ex-

pected to increase, making conservation critical. She believes climate change is already evident in the region. Eurasian watermilfoil growth is out of control, drastically increasing the need to weed beaches valleywide, and flooding on Mission Creek is also raising eyebrows as flows consistently prove higher than the normal range. She touched on a few upcoming projects the board is involved with, including: • Expansion and restoration of the Mission Creek wetlands • Endocrine disruptor research to deal with pharmaceutical hormones in lakes and rivers • A secretive project to address the number of goldfish in Vernon’s McKay Reservoir. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Council seizes on water use cause Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Three years into the California drought, customers must weigh whether or not a glass of water is justifiable with a meal in a restaurant, according to a Kelowna city councillor. Coun. Luke Stack said a recent trip to the home of Hollywood opened his eyes on drought-planning and water conservation efforts as he learned the state credits the water plans it set in motion 10 years ago with ensuring there’s still enough water for the area to function. As such, customers are encouraged to take a seemingly drastic measure and only to ask for water to drink if needed. It’s just an indicator of the type of concentrated conservation effort the state is engaged in, and Stack said he was impressed the reservoirs have not run dry despite ongoing scorching temperatures and a lack of rain. “It was a good reminder that when things are good, this is the time to be planning,” he said as he addressed Kelowna city council Monday. He encouraged fellow councillors to take the water conservation measures the Okanagan Basin Water Board drums up very seriously and to heed warnings to get ahead of the water management plans for this semi-arid city.

Kelowna prepares to update OCP Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

The devil is in the detail when it comes to crime statistics, Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray warned future city councils on Monday. A presentation on how well Kelowna is meeting targets set in the Official Community Plan revealed that Kelowna RCMP are doing a bang-up job of reducing crime, though the number of criminal code offences reported per 1,000 people did appear to rise in 2012, despite a downward trend overall. “With policing, the public should understand we’ve really added to the police. As you add more and more police, you therefore add more re-

sources for dealing with files,” he said. The mayor pointed out the blip in the number of files being dealt with does not necessarily mean more crime, it just means more crime fighting. He then went on to praise the city’s staff for largely meeting or exceeding the demands of the OCP, as laid out by Kelowna residents in a lengthy consultation process which culminated in the OCP document in 2011. The OCP spans the next 30 years and sets targets in areas like the city’s walkability, affordability, how well the natural environment is preserved and its economic growth. Of 17 indicators the city uses to track its prog-

ress on the plan, the municipality was only losing ground on four: The number of vehicle crashes reported per 1,000 people; the supply of residential land; the rental vacancy rate and percentage of new commercial square footage located in urban centres are all areas that need some improvement according to this checkup. The safety element caught Coun. Luke Stack’s attention and he questioned whether some new partnerships between different levels of government responsible for dealing with road safety might be worth pursuing. “I think it behooves us to look at it,” he said. “If it’s trending the wrong way, we’re seeing more carnage on the streets.”

City planner Graham March did point out that none of the data gathered thus far represents a true trend as it has only been collected for three years. Nevertheless, at 68.2 crashes per 1,000 people per year, the statistic was one of the only down notes in the report. Kelowna is otherwise becoming significantly more urbanized with less sprawl. There is more affordable housing and our neighbourhoods are more pedestrian and bicycle-friendly. The percentage of the population living within 400 metres of a park also continues to increase. The next major review of the OCP is set to begin in 2017.

Giving really can help save a life

he Central Okanagan has always been a giving community. Last week, two local campaigns were launched that will once again test the community’s desire, and ability, to give. But the campaigns ask for very different donations. They are, however, both life savers. On one hand, the annual United Way campaign kicked off, and this year is asking for its biggest goal ever—$1.5 million. The umbrella organization helps fund 27 “partner” groups

officially, but its new executive director said as many as 100 differnt non-profit organizations come looking for help in any given year. The work those groups do in the community makes a huge difference. At the kick off, one woman, Tammy Milkovich, told her story. And what a story it was. From homeless addict and convicted criminal who spent time in jail, she has turned her life around to be a productive member of society who is now

giving back not only through the three jobs she has but also as a volunteer with two different organizations. Her inspiring story exemplified the impact that the groups working under the United Way umbrella can have. This year the United Way says everyone has a story to tell. Milkovich’s is simply one of the best. The other group looking for donations is Canadian Blood Services. It has kicked off its annual

Interior Drive For Life collection competition with Prince George and while the contest may be light-hearted, the aim is deadly serious. The blood you donate literally does save lives. So book an appointment and give. But don’t stop there, make it a regular occurrence. In both campaign’s cases, with the uncertainty of life, the very lives you help save through your donations could be your own or someone you love. That alone should be reason to give.

Factory model of teaching may be fading for schools

BCTF president Jim Iker announced the arbitration gambit on Friday, in one of the webcasts he uses to rally the union’s exhausted memberTom ship. Education MinFletcher ister Peter Fassbender replied that with five minutes’ notice to the government’s chief negotiator and lacking specifics on what would be subject to arbitration, the proposal would forfeit the government’s mandate to control costs. “This government will not raise taxes in order to provide a settlement

to one union that does not reflect what the other public sector has done,” Fassbender said. In short, there will be a negotiated settlement, eventually. The union chose to begin the strike, and now must find a way to end it. The government’s position in this dispute is unlike any of the many that preceded it. And it points the way to an evolution of education that cannot be stopped. The announcement of a $40-a-day payment for days lost during a fall strike for children under 13 was greeted with scorn by the BCTF and its echo chambers. Parents won’t be bribed, they want school, not daycare,

it’s an insult, went the refrain. Before the first week of the fall strike was over, nearly two thirds of eligible parents had enrolled, faced with pickets at their schools and real and mounting child care and tutoring costs. The union executive, collecting their hefty salaries while teachers do without even token strike pay, said members who are parents should refuse the money. Some B.C. teachers have begun advertising tutoring services online. With distance learning and other online education options expanding in all 60 public school districts, the digital revolution is unfolding quickly. The B.C. government made a

he B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s latest demand, for binding arbitration on selected pocketbook issues of its members, is going nowhere. This follows months of the union’s insistence on mediation. First a B.C. Supreme Court judge met with both sides and walked away. Then the BCTF’s preferred choice, Vince Ready, agreed that mediation won’t fix the current version of the mess he last examined in 2007.

couple of announcements in April, one about moving to digital versions of textbooks and another about a digital merger of 1,600 school libraries with public and post-secondary schools. Growth of options accelerates. Largely drowned out by the noise of 1970s-style industrial labour strife, the B.C. public school curriculum is being refashioned for this new age. Among its goals is to “allow teachers and students the flexibility to personalize their learning experience to better meet each student’s individual strengths and needs.”

▼ TEACHERS STRIKE

Principals should be earning their pay now To the editor: I am a senior, and an angry one at that. Seems the government is allowing principals and administrators to go into the schools to do nothing all day. How can they have anything to do now when they did all their paperwork during the two weeks they had no students and teachers in June? That means, as a taxpayer, I am paying for

the electricity and air conditioning or heat to heat a school that is not in session. That’s ridiculous. Since the principals are paid more than $100,000 a year, why are people not bringing their kids to school for them to babysit those kids? At least they’d be earning those huge wages. Another thing, did you know that most CUPE workers are being paid to sit at home? To do nothing, they get full wages. That was a

deal they made with Christy Clark. Shouldn’t they be giving back that $40? They don’t need daycare then, do they? I think the principal wages and the $40 paid to CUPE members should be put back in the system. Kelvin Greenough, Kelowna

▼ RESPONSE TO LETTER

Independent schools save taxpayers money To the editor: What does it take to educate people about funding for private schools? A letter by Shirley

Harshenin asks the question again. (No Tolerance for Clark’s Wasteful Bullying, Sept. 4 Capital News) All who send their

children to a private school pay all the taxes that everyone else pays but receive only a fraction of a teacher’s salary and nothing for the build-

ing or upkeep, so private schools are saving taxpayers lots of money for taking care of these expenses themselves. Instead of criticiz-

ing private schools you should thank them for relieving you of a huge financial cost. Rosemary Lalonde, Kelowna

Parents of independently schooled children pay their taxes into public school system too To the editor: I want to start off by saying I hope the teachers’ strike gets settled as quickly as possible and children can go back to learning at B.C.’s public schools. That being said, I also want to refute the misconceptions being made about the independent school system in B.C. In the Thursday, Sept. 4 print edition of the Capital News, Shirley Harshenin writes: “And why is private school funded at all by us, the taxpayers? It should not be. If you’re not happy with the public school system, then pay for private, but do not ask or expect me to pay for any part of it.” First of all, the school system outside the public system is referred to as the independent school system, not the private school system.

Secondly, Shirley Harshenin seems to forget that parents of children in the independent school system are taxpayers too. If she doesn’t want her taxpayer dollars to go to the independent school system and have it 100 per cent paid for by the parents of the students attending, wouldn’t it be fair then that the parents of these children should not be paying taxes in to the public system since their children do not attend there? To take it further, should all people who have never had or never will have students in the public school system not pay taxes in to the public school system? That’s not how our system works. To put it another way, parents of independent school system children pay 50 per cent or more than their public school counterparts.

To the editor: It was an interesting letter to the editor I read in your paper, thanks to the wonders of the Internet. Mr. Ted Olynyk (BC Hydro Meter Found Not At Fault For Causing Fire, Sept. 5 Capital News) as-

sured your readers that all is well with BC Hydro’s smart meters. I wonder if he is old enough to remember all the experts who told us— no assured us—that tobacco was safe. In the end, it turned out that there

were money trails that connected many experts to the tobacco industry. Since there are jurisdictions all over the planet which have excluded the use of smart meters, I would like to know about the money trail from the

industry to all the experts who assure us that this technology is safe. Of course, political parties appreciate donations to their causes, but universities also appreciate donations to programs supported by industries of

various sorts. There are still too many unanswered questions for Mr. Ted Olynyk’s assurances to be taken seriously.

One of B.C.’s early models for self-directed learning is Thomas Haney secondary in Maple Ridge, where senior high students are expected to make their own way through course work, learning to manage their own time. It was here that the first couple of Grade 12 students showed up last week to begin mak-

ing up for lost time from the strike that set in last spring. Self-directed study has become a crash course. Private schools are also swamped with applications from Grade 12 students looking for particular courses they will need by next year. In the short term, Fassbender says the lost strike days will likely have to be restored to the school schedule.

“Do you put it on at the end of the year? Do you take it out of spring break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbender said. In the longer term, the whole factory model of school is on the way out. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc tfletcher@blackpress.ca

They could put their children in public school for free but choose to pay 50 per cent or more of the cost by putting them in the independent system thus saving the public system money. Given the current problem, could you imagine how much worse it would be if tens of thousands of additional students were in the public system? Make no mistake. These are not all welloff families. Some work extra hard and make extra sacrifices in order for their children to attend a school that may be closer, offer a religious component which the public system doesn’t, or just believe their children are getting a better education. They should not be vilified. Chris Hanzek, West Kelowna

The United Way of the Central and South Okanagan Similikameen has set a goal this year of $1.5 million for its annual fundraising campaign. It’s the biggest campaign goal ever set by the local United Way. “It’s a big number,” said Shelley Gilmore, executive director of the UWCSO. “However, it is a number that our community needs. Speaking at the campaign kickoff breakfast in Kelowna, Gilmore said every year the demand in the communities

gets higher, so this year it is making sure the community is aware of what is needed and is being asked to take action to participate in making an impact. “Our goal is to build community and United Way is the vehicle for this change.” She said the relationships with the community partners is very strong and they work together to make the difference. While there are 27 partners listed, she said as many as 100 groups come looking for support from United Way each year.

“By supporting the United Way in this campaign, the community can trust that investments are done with the whole community in mind, putting focus on the issues and the root causes to achieve long lasting change.” The United Way CSO revealed its Community Action Plan initiative at a kick-off breakfast, speaking to the collective action that is required to make our community stronger. This year’s slogan is My Story, My United Way, My Community and is a call for community

action. At the breakfast, the sold-out room heard the inspiring story of Tammy Milkovich, a former addict and convict who moved here to get her life in order. She was helped by KARIS Society and the local John Howard Socirty, two UW fund recipients, and has turned her life around. Now she works at three jobs, volunteers, has her own home and is engaged. “I needed to build a bridge between what I was and what I wanted to be,” she said. Her story not only brought some to tears, it brought the crowd to its feet when she finished speaking. “Without community health, there is no economic health,” says Jim Paterson, campaign cochair and executive director of business development with the City of Ke-

Certified Carpet Cleaning Technician/Oxy-Dry System Developer I have some area rugs that need cleaning, but I am concerned about having them removed from my home to be cleaned. Is there another way?

In-plant rug cleaning involves beating the backing of the area rug with a 100-125 pound mechanical rug beater, immersing it in a large tub of water, spinning to remove excess water and hanging for 2-3 days to dry. In some cases fine wool rugs are placed on a cold cement floor and pressure washed (steam cleaned). These overly aggressive methods are risky for most rugs and usually unnecessary. There is a better way! Oxy-Dry is a deep cleaning, ultra low moisture method that enables us to clean area rugs on hardwood, laminate or carpet with no concern to the floor underneath nor any risk of shrinking, color bleeding or backing distortion. We use green seal certified and wool safe cleaning products and with over 40 years of carpet cleaning experience you can be sure your fine rugs are safely cleaned while you watch. As an added bonus our exclusive ozone boost system will kill all germs, bacteria and viruses on contact on the carpet fiber as well as eradicating dust mites. We will also include an organic based protector in our service resulting in a rug that stays clean up to 3 times longer. Most area rugs will dry in 30-60 minutes. So no more bare floors for 1-2 weeks while waiting for them to return hoping they are undamaged. Call Oxy-Dry to clean your area rugs and we’ll make them look beautiful again without any inconvenience or distress!

lowna, who spoke after Milkovich. “But we are seeing a stronger economic base through home sales and general business results and we need to ensure that this economic strength translates into social and community health as well.” As part of the year’s campaign, the United Way plans to try and educate the public about what it does in the hope it will help raise more money. In 2013, just under $1.3 million was raised when there was no official goal set. In 2012, the local campaign just missed its $1.2 million target. “The United Way is uniquely positioned as that umbrella for the social service charities, providing the needed advocacy, funding and other support, bringing community together to achieve lasting positive impact,” said Paterson.

What are the differences between Sativa and Indica? Which type should I use for my symptoms?

The two main types of marijuana used for their medicinal properties are Sativa and Indica. The main difference being that Cannabis Sativa has a higher level of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) than Cannabis Indica, which has a higher Cannabidiol (CBD) level. The Sativa and Indica plants can be bred together to create hybrid strains. Each hybrid strain provides its own range of effects and produces a wide range of medicinal benefits. • Sativas provide a cerebral, uplifting high. Sativas are great for fighting depression, and give the user an energized feeling, as well as stimulating the appetite. They are great at increasing ones focus and creativity, but, marijuana with high levels of THC can cause anxiety in some people. • Indicas provide a mellow calming high, and are great at relaxing the muscles and relieving body aches, headaches & migraines, as well as reducing spasms and seizures. Indicas are great for people with insomnia, and reducing stress and anxiety.”

Q A

Verico Compass Mortgage Group If I wanted to break my mortgage early, how is my mortgage penalty calculated?

This is another major benefit to getting your mortgage through your a Mortgage Broker vs. a traditional Bank. Not only can a Broker get more competitive rates and terms than a Bank, we can also help you avoid major penalties if you need to break your mortgage term early. Typically, a Bank’s calculation to break a fixed term mortgage can be expensive. Banks use what is called a Interest Rate Differential (IRD) and typically use posted rates to determine this calculation. Because Banks use posted rates to determine the calculation, Bank clients often see very high penalties (sometimes 20k +) if they are breaking their term early. It all depends on how far into the term you are and what the difference is between your current mortgage rate and the Banks posted rates. Mortgage Brokers have the ability to place your mortgage with a “penalty friendly” lender that uses a different IRD calculation than a traditional Bank. So a penalty that would be around 10k with a standard Bank, may only be 2k with a Lender a Mortgage Broker places you with. One of the many benefits to having a Mortgage Broker on your side! With a variable rate mortgage, the standard penalty on any variable rate mortgage is typically just 3 months interest. This is generally the most penalty friendly mortgage product.

Open house for updated City Park plan ENTERTOWIN The City of Kelowna invites residents to review the preferred concept design that will guide future spending decisions on City Park over the course of the next decade. An open house will be held Thursday, Sept. 11, near the Sails Plaza at the foot of Bernard Avenue under a city tent from 4 to 7 p.m.

“We’re asking residents to drop by to speak to staff and see what’s being planned for the future of City Park,” said Terry Barton, park and building planning manager for the city. “The updated plan sees the expansion of picnic areas, basketball courts, pathways, flexible event and aquatic facili-

ties. Lawn bowling amenities and Veendam Way will also be retained.” City hall says staff needed to update the concept plan after a proposed visitor centre that was originally slated to go in the park was removed. That centre is now being considered for the foot of Queensway Avenue. A workshop held in

June with 47 community stakeholders helped shape the future of downtown Kelowna’s “iconic” waterfront park. The result of that work will be presented to the community for feedback at the open house. Visit kelowna.ca/ mycitypark for more information about this and other projects.

When it comes to caregiving, do your best one step at a time

he phrase I probably say the most to my clients and their family members is, “Let’s just take one step at a time.” It can be overwhelming to deal with making too many decisions all at once, especially as a caregiver of an aging loved one. I know sometimes it seems like so much is demanded of you, but slowing down when it feels like you have to speed up is the first step. As you slow down and pause this is really the moment that you can step out of the fear that many caregiving situations can

Marjorie Horne push you into. I have been reading the book The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz this past week. I read it many years ago, but recently felt the need to pick it up again. Its message is simple in the four things Don Miguel wants you to remember: Be impeccable with

your word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love. Don’t take anything personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering. Don’t make assump-

tions. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life. Always do your best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment. It will be different when you are healthy as opposed to when you are unwell. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgement, self-abuse, and regret. These four agreements are like a ray of sunshine when you slow down and bask in their wisdom. They remind you how to act impeccably and of course the reward is that you become a better person, a better caregiver of

your mother, your father, your relative, your resident or even a stranger. You remember why you are there and what the true purpose is. As I look back over this past full year of intensive caregiving, the road is similar to starting a business. Everything that you need to learn, to let go of, to redefine, becomes intensified. It will either drive you crazy or you will come through the storm wiping your brow, but knowing a strength you previously didn’t think you had. You are reconnected to something that is greater than you, but that is you. The biggest thing that I have learned in supporting seniors and their families in transition is that you can’t figure everything out and put a defined order on things. There are so many vari-

Sun knocks down Rams to grab top spot Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

A 33-20 loss to the Langley Rams on Aug. 2 was still fresh in the memory banks of every single player with the Okanagan Sun. Coupled with the prospects of taking over sole possession of first place in the B.C. Football Conference, there was more than enough motivation for the home side on Saturday night at the Apple Bowl. The Sun overcame an early deficit, then rolled to a convincing 31-10 victory over the rival Rams to push their season record to 5-1. With the Sun offense sputtering at times to find its groove, the defence and special teams kicked stepped up to the table, as Okanagan won for the fourth straight time to forge two points ahead of Langley for top spot. “It was a really important game and a great team effort for us,” said defensive co-captain Brennan Van Nistelrooy. “To bounce back after what happened last time against them and win like we did,

was huge. Our goal was to get first place back and we were able to do that.”

‘‘

…WE STAYED COMPOSED AND DID A GOOD JOB OF COMING BACK. Brennan Van Nistelrooy

It was an inauspicious start for the Sun as Rams linebacker Ethan Schulz scooped up a Dillon Fortune fumble and rambled 25 yards for a touchdown to make it 7-0 Langley. That’s when the Sun’s special teams took over, led by Robbie Yochim’s 50-yard punt return for a touchdown to tie the game. Soon after, Van Nistelrooy scored a 40yard major on a fake punt late in the opening quarter for a 14-7 lead—and the tide had pretty much turned for good. “Coach (Shane) Beatty said we’re going to face adversity, it’s how we respond to it that matters,” said Van Nistelrooy. “This time it happened to be

offense and forced seven turnovers—five on interceptions and two on downs. Dexter Janke had two picks for the Sun, his

second setting up a Cam Bedore to Lerone Robinson seven-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. Before the end of

the half, Kasey Russell pounded his way into the end zone from two yards out to make it 31-7 and effectively put the game out of reach.

With four straight wins and a grasp on first place, the Sun’s confidence is growing with each week. Still, with four games remaining prior to playoffs, Van Nistelrooy said the work is far from over. “It’s nice to have confidence, but we have to stay humble at the same time,” Van Nistelrooy said. “Teams can come out and surprise you if you’re not prepared, so we need to just focus on the next game ahead of us.” On the downside of Saturday’s win, allstar defensive end Jonas Gering missed the second half with a knee injury and could miss two to three weeks of action. However, the Rutland grad is grateful it wasn’t more severe. “It could have been worse, so I’m happy about that,” said Gering. “I’ll be back soon.” The Sun will meet the Vancouver Island Raiders for the third and final time this season this Saturday afternoon in Nanaimo. Okanagan won the first two meetings by a combined score of 102-20.

Eight Rockets en route to NHL camps this week Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

The Kelowna Rockets’ pre-season roster will look somewhat sparse this week as eight players are in the process of heading off to National Hockey League rookie camps. Three Rockets will soon be en route to San Jose—forwards Rourke Chartier and Tyson Baillie, along with defenceman Dalton Yorke. Third-round NHL draft pick Justin Kirkland will attend his first camp with the Nashville Predators, defence-

man Madison Bowey is off to Washington Capitals’ camp for the second year in a row, Mitchell Wheaton will display his skills for the Detroit Red Wings, Tyrell Goulbourne is off to Philadelphia, while goaltender Jackson Whistle has been invited to attend the Vancouver Canucks’ rookie camp in Penticton. Most will be expected back in time for the club’s regular season opener Saturday, Sept. 20 at Prospera Place against Kamloops. With a bit of a skeleton crew, the Rockets will wrap up their exhibition

schedule with two games this weekend—Friday in Vancouver against the Giants, followed by a Saturday home date against the Victoria Royals at Prospera. “We’re not going to have a lot of skaters, but at the same time it will give us a chance to work on good habits with our young guys,” said Rockets head coach Dan Lambert. “It’ll be an opportunity for them to learn the systems a little better.” The Rockets (2-2-0) are coming off a pair of exhibition games over the weekend in Delta.

On Saturday, Colton Heffley scored twice, including an empty-netter as Kelowna beat Vancouver 3-1. On Sunday, the Victoria Royals downed the Rockets 4-1. Cole Linaker tallied the lone goal in the loss. Lambert gave the two games rather different reviews. “I thought our first game was pretty solid, we didn’t give up a lot of chances and offensively we were able to create a little bit, so overall we were pretty happy,” Lambert said. “On Sunday, we got out-competed, that was unfortunate to see. The

guys got frustrated against Victoria,” Lamber said, “and you could see that in the penalties we took and 12 power plays they had.” Meanwhile, Rockets rookie forward Dillon Dube suffered a lower body injury last week in practise and is expected to miss about six weeks of action. “It’s one of those things, just too bad it had to happen in practise,” said Lambert. “It was a bit of a freak accident, so nothing much you can do about that.”

Heat teams earn first Canada West points UBC Okanagan varsity sports witnessed a couple of firsts over the weekend in Prince George. The Heat soccer

squads made their Canada West debuts. And both the men’s and women’s teams picked up their first ever points at the highest level of university soccer

in the country. Danta Zanatta’s Heat men began their CIS journey with a split of two games against the UNBC Timberwolves.

Preventing gang activity in BC ▾ MYTH: Once kids join a gang there’s no hope for them: Reality: With quick family, school, and police intervention, a youth can leave the gang without any serious consequences. The key is a coordinated and collaborative intervention as soon as some of the warning signs appear. Better yet, everyone needs to work together to prevent youth and young adults from joining gangs.

Warriors and Vees split preseason set; Chiefs open Friday Even when it comes to pre-season action, the rivalry between the West Kelowna Warriors and Penticton Vees remains one of the most intense and hard-fought in the BCHL. After the hometown Vees took down the Warriors 3-2 on Friday night at the South Okanagan Events Centre, West Kelowna delivered some payback Saturday at Roy-

al LePage with a 5-3 victory over Penticton in the back half of a home-andhome. Forward Jonathan Desbiens, who played last

season with the USHL’s Lincoln Stars, connected for a hat-trick for West Kelowna. Returning forward Liam Blackburn netted the game winner deflecting a point shot past Vees netminder Brendan Barry at 15:50 of the third period. Brett Mennear also tallied for the Warriors, while Scott Patton stopped 34 shots in the

West Kelowna net. Former Okanagan Rockets forward Liam Finlay scored one of the markers Saturday for Penticton. On Friday, the Vees prevailed 3-2. Liam Blackburn and Kylar Hope scored for the Warriors, while Andy Desautels turned aside 26 shots. The Warriors (1-2-01) have two more exhibition games remaining,

both this weekend against Salmon Arm Silverbacks. On Friday the teams square off at Royal LePage Place at 7 p.m, followed by a Saturday game at the Shaw Centre. The Warriors open the regular season Friday, Sept. 19 against Coquitlam at the BCHL showcase in Chilliwack.

Ok Rockets fine tune the roster The roster of the newlook Okanagan Rockets continues to take shape. The defending BCMML champs answered a few more questions about their 2014-15 lineup as the team hosted its annual Icebreaker tournament over the weekend at CNC. The Rockets have made commitments to the following players: Defencemen Connor Bowey and Danny Gatenby, along with forwards Zack Erhardt, Calvin Rout and Brett Witala. Head coach Simon Ferguson and the Rockets are waiting on the status of Mitchell Oliver (Vernon Vipers), Carter Rhine (Surrey Eagles), Sam De Melo (Salmon Arm Silverbacks), and Noah Turanski (Coquitlam Express) who all remain with BCHL teams. The Rockets must officially submit their roster by Sept.15. Rockets general manager David Michaud was impressed with the quality of young players this weekend. “The future of hockey in our valley is in great shape,” he said. “I was very impressed with how difficult the players have made these decisions for us.”

As of Sunday night, the Rockets were down to 10 defencemen, 13 forwards and two goaltenders. Jordan Reynolds, 17, and Cole Demers, 15, a prospect of the Prince George Cougars, will man the crease for the Rockets this season. While Reynolds heads into the sea-

son as the consensus number one, Michaud was quick to point out that Demers will push and challenge for ice time. “We were pretty clear to Cole that we wanted him to push Jordan and make him as uncomfortable as possible. Jordan is excited about being our guy, and will be a great men-

tor for the younger goalie. We think the duo will help us win a lot of games this year, and also give us some stability for the long term as Cole is only 15.” The Rockets will practice again this week and wait for word on the potential of players returning to the club.

Kelowna out for blood in donation contest with Prince George Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna Deputy Mayor Colin Basran made a passionate plea Friday for Kelowna residents to participate in the annual blood donation challenge against Prince George as the 17th annual contest kicked off. The Interior Drive for Life will run until Oct. 30. The city collecting the greatest number of blood

donations per capita will be declared the winner. The winning city receives a trophy from Canadian Blood Services. Kelowna is the defending champion. “Let’s rally together to save lives for hospital patients in our community,” said Basran who was at the Dilworth Drive clinic to receive the trophy on behalf of the City of Kelowna for winning the 2013 challenge.

At the clinic, Kelowna resident Lisa Stephenson talked about how the quality of her ailing mother’s health was raised during the last few days of her life last year following a blood transfusion. “The people who donated the blood she got gave her the most wonderful gift,” said Stephenson in talking about the things her mother got to do in those final days, thanks to the transfusion.

Without, she said, her mother would have lain in a bed at the local hospice house, unable to go out and enjoy those final few days. It also prompted Stephenson’s employer, Prestiege Hotels, to become a sponsor of the blood drive. In addition to its regular donors, Canadian Blood Services is currently looking for Kelowna residents who are not

regular blood donors. “During the next two months challenge, Canadian Blood Services must recruit 368 new donors in Kelowna to help keep the blood system strong and sustainable,” said Gayle Voyer of Canadian Blood Services in Kelowna. The Canadian Blood Services office in Kelowna is located at 103-1865 Dilworth Drive, across from Orchard Park Shop-

ping Centre. Clinic hours in Kelowna are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on alternating Saturdays. During the Interior Drive For Life Challenge, Saturday clinics will be open as well, on Oct. 4 and 18. “I’d like to ask those who have never donated blood to take that first step and come down to the Dil-

worth Drive clinic,” said Basran. “Last year almost 1,700 Kelowna residents showed up and they are the reason the trophy is here today, not in Prince George.” Donors can book an appointment by calling 1-888 2 DONATE (1888-236-6283) or online atwww.blood.ca. awaters @kelownacapnews.com

Lou is a young, exhuberant & playful dog. When he goes for walks, it’s nose to the ground and he’s off. His background is hazy, but he loves his toys and running in the backyard. He is good with dogs, & will need a family that can keep him active. If you have experience with Beagles, then please come down and spend some time getting to know him. He is a real comedian.
