Prime Minister Stephen Harper called the election this weekend, meaning Canadians will be treated to a record-breaking stretch of politicking.

Election day is Oct. 19, meaning 11 weeks of ads and photo ops, and that is raising questions about what the electorate will experience and how they will respond.

“I would like to think a longer election campaign would be an exercise in democratic engagement, but that remains to be seen” said B.C. political scientist, Hamish Telford, adding the fact the election was announced on a long weekend in the middle of summer sets that hope on a wobbly start.

What’s really been demonstrated in the run-up to this election is Canada’s changing political landscape, he said.

“We have now entered the era of American-style, permanent campaigning.

“Parties have to fundraise themselves, so they are fundraising all the time. And they have discovered that outside the formal election period, there are no restrictions on how they spend the money. In that sense, calling the election is a formality. We’ve been in campaign mode all year.”

So, why did the Prime Minister bother with the

Spending an election issue STORY FROM A1

Mark the Knife entertained a long line of poutine lovers Tuesday afternoon, as Smokes Poutinerie on Bernard Avenue held the Kelowna leg of its annual tour aimed at bringing the love of curd and gravyladen French fries to the masses.

formality?

For one, Telford said, election financing kicks into effect, giving the Conservatives an advantage. Longer campaigns now mean higher spending limits— so the maximum will be about $51 million, instead of $25.5 million.

Secondly, it limits what special interest groups are able to say.

“Some special interest groups were launching attack ads against the Conservatives, and now they won’t be able to do that,” he said. The

Conservatives have traditionally promoted themselves as the party with the best grasp on what to do to keep Canada on track.

There’s only a month remaining until Canadians learn whether they are officially in a recession, however, negative economic growth has been the economic theme since the price of oil nosedived.

“It will be hard to court voters on their economic credentials, given they’ve had the lowest rate of growth since the Depression in the 1930s,”

Telford said.

And, if they don’t have that in their tool belt, Telford said the Conservatives may face some trouble in swing areas—one of which Kelowna is not.

Kelowna Lake Country incumbent Ron Cannan, Conservative, was elected with 55 per cent of the vote in 2008 and 57 per cent of the vote in 2011.

In other parts of the country, however, things are less solid for the Tories.

“The dynamics are similar to what we’ve experienced in the last couple of elections,” he said. “Conservatives have bedrock support of 30 per cent…but 60 per cent have always despised them. The last election turned on 10 per cent who were willing to go with the Conservatives if they promised economic benefits.”

It’s now up to that 10 per cent again— do they go back to the Conservatives, or do they migrate elsewhere?

And, if their patience is worn out, will they consolidate their interest with one party or split their vote?

Time will tell, and there is plenty of time for candidates to try and win voters over.

As that gets underway, Telford has one piece of advice.

“Don’t listen to the commercials, is perhaps the strongest advice I can give,” he said. “Go beyond that and try and ascertain the best information you can from notable and reliable sources.”

Also, Telford recommended going right to the source, meaning the candidates themselves. Each have websites and Facebook pages where you can learn more about them.

CREEK RESTORATION

Federal funding to help Mission Creek Barry Gerding The ongoing restoration of Mission Creek in Kelowna has received a $249,000 grant from the federal government to the Central Okanagan Land Trust.

Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran said the money will be used for the initial restoration project this fall to set back the dikes and widen the creek, establish a flood plain, add creekbank riparian vegetation and improve adjacent agricultural land drainage.

“Further grants will be sought in the future to continue this work, to enhance fish stocks and wildlife and protect lands from flooding,” Basran said.

Ron Cannan, KelownaLake Country MP, said the grant reflects a partnership instigated by the land trust that encompasses provincial, federal and civic governments along with

Wayne Wilson, executive director of the Central Okanagan Land Trust speaks during the announcement of a $249,000 federal grant to help restore Mission Creek. the Okanagan Nation Alliance, Westbank First Nation, Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, Okanagan Basin Water Board, Central Okanagan Naturalists Club and UBC Okanagan-Engineering.

“It’s important to understand the importance of creating

partnerships and the potential for that to help get things done,” Cannan said.

Cannan described Mission Creek as the largest watershed in the Okanagan, one that provides 25 per cent of all water entering Okanagan Lake.

Designated a B.C.

heritage river in 1997, Cannan said the creek is home to an abundance of wildlife and fish along with several species at risk including painted turtles, spotted bats, whitthroated swifts, western screech owls and the great blue heron.

Since the 1950s, Cannan explained that

sections of Mission Creek have been channelized and diked to prevent flooding. Ironically ,those changes have ended up increasing the risk of flooding should the dikes fail or the creek banks be breached.

“That is a lesson we learned from the Canmore floods in June 2013 and the flooding impact that had on Calgary,” said Cannan.

“Sometimes we have to learn from our mistakes and experiments that don’t work as they were intended.”

Ultimately, Cannan said the Mission Creek Restoration Initiative is about turning the clock back on Mission Creek to its original flow course and repair the ecological damage that has occurred.

Wayne Wilson, executive director of the Central Okanagan Land Trust, thanked the support of the COLT board members, in particular president

CONSERVATIVE INCUMBENT

Cannan denies flurry of recent grants connected to election Barry Gerding bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

It’s less about the politics and more about looking out for his constituents.

That’s how incumbent Conservative MP Ron Cannan looked upon a week of handing out federal grants before the writ was dropped, which have totalled well over $5 million.

The federal election was called by Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Sunday.

While critics pointed to the daily photo op announcements as a

Conservative government pulling strings to influence votes in the election they knew was coming up, Cannan said it was less about any grand master plan and more about patience and perseverance.

“A lot of these announcements this past week have taken years to come to fruition,” Cannan said, following yet another photo op, this one on the Mission Greenway, to reveal $249,000 being given to the Central Okanagan Land Trust to support the Mission Creek Restoration Initiative.

“You are like a farmer planting a seed, meeting with cabinet ministers, meeting with ministry staff to inform and persuade of the need to support these funding applications.”

He pointed out how the Mission Creek Restoration Initiative grant started last year when Wayne Wilson, executive director of the Central Okanagan Land Trust, and Todd Cashin, suburban and rural planning manager with the City of Kelowna, met in his office to discuss grant funding opportunities.

“The lease

announcement with Kelowna airport was a unique business case in Canada that required about five years of working through government ministries right up to the PM’s office of why this was important. At some point, the stars line up and things happen.”

As he was headed to the airport for that announcement, Cannan called Stockwell Day to inform him of the decision, since it was during Day’s era in federal politics as the CoquihallaOkanagan MP that the negotiations for the lease

extension began.

“It’s like the dog to bone thing, it’s something you just can’t give up on even when frustration sets in. You get knocked down sometimes but you have to keep going to get these things done.”

While Cannan said he’s heard the criticism about the wave of grant announcements of late, it’s a no-win predicament for him.

“In politics you can’t please everybody, so you do the best you can, act with integrity and know every day you wake up and walk out the door how blessed we all are to

live in the Okanagan.”

Speaking last Friday, Cannan said, like everyone else, he was awaiting the election call

by Harper, but that his campaign team was ready to go for the legislated Oct. 19 voting day.

“There is a little bit of wriggle room there, but generally the third Monday in October every four years is when the election is dictated by legislation so we all work towards that date,” Cannan said.

But the former Kelowna city councillor likes to say that he began campaigning for

re-election on May 2, 2011—the day he was last elected in KelownaLake Country.

“For me, election campaigns are not the part of the job I particularly enjoy. I like to try to get things done but the politics of politics is part of the job.

“Democracy can be messy sometimes but I want to be respectful and take the high road. We all have the same goal in the end, to improve our country, but just different ways of how to reach that.” @kelownacapnews

Opinion OUR VIEW

Let the (political) games begin Get ready for the longest,most expensive federal election in Canadian history.

With Prime Minister Stephen Harper pulling the trigger for the Oct. 19 election, Canadians are in for 11 weeks of campaigning that has already shown plenty of signs of being a knock-down, drag-‘em-out, dirty affair.

And, like our friends to the south, the all-mighty dollar will play a large part in determining the winner.

Harper’s Conservatives are gunning for a second straight majority and they have the biggest campaign war chest to fight this fight.

But recent polls have shown the NDP under Thomas Mulcair are likely to prove a strong opponent and, despite the ups and downs of the Liberals under Justin Trudeau, pollsters are not counting them out either.

So what’s a voter to do?

In the case of this election, more so than any before, voters should take the advice offered by political scientists and go straight to the source if they want their questions answered.

Cutting through the political spin of advertising will be difficult and such a long campaign promises more of a war of attrition than a war of words and ideas.

But given that the election was called smack dab in the middle of summer, how many voters will be listening for the next four to six weeks anyway? Summer, for many in Canada is about rest and relaxation, not electioneering.

And, it can be argued, the politicians and would-be politicians have already been campaigning for months, knowing the national vote date was fixed for the middle of October.

Hopefully, a longer campaign will get more voters interested enough to get out and cast their ballot.

But right now, that’s just a maybe.

Personalized medicine one step closer I have written before about Healing Minds the promise of personalized medicine for PAUL psychiatry. I have LATIMER been practicing psychiatry for 40 years and although we have made a lot of advances, it is still true that in selecting a medication we rely heavily on educated trial and error.

We simply have no way to know for sure how an individual will respond to each medication. This can be very frustrating for both patient and doctor. It not infrequently results in one or the other giving up before a solution is found. Patients may drop out of therapy in their impatience and doctors too, may stop trying new approaches especially when faced with a less than cooperative patient.

It is a wonderful feeling when finally, after many unsuccessful, or only partially successful, trials one gets it right and the patient comes in saying they have never felt better or that they feel completely back to normal.

Not everyone gets to that point.

I am very pleased to say that now, with the help of a large research grant, we can offer free genetic analysis to help in selecting the best medication in some cases. On October 15, 2014, the Genome Application Partnership Program (GAPP) announced that Assurex Health and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) would receive $6 million from the Canadian federal government. The grant was allocated in support of the ‘Matching the Drug to the Patient: Safer

and More Effective Drug Therapy for Mental Health Patients’ project. The GeneSight Psychotropic laboratory developed test analyzes how eight genes may affect a patient’s metabolism and response to 33 Health Canada approved antidepressant and antipsychotic medications.

GeneSight testing includes genotyping of pharmacokinetic genes from the Cytochrome P450 family and pharmacodynamic genes related specifically to the serotonin system. It takes into consideration how a combination of genetic variations can affect a patient’s ability to respond to a medication.

It is too soon to say how much this will affect outcomes in clinical practice, but I am hopeful. When a patient is not responding as expected, we now have the option to get a genetic analysis to learn whether there is anything peculiar about the way the body is metabolising the medication.

Some may require higher doses than normally recommended and some lower. Some will require a change in medication. So far I am mainly using this analysis with patients who are not responding to treatment or who seem more sensitive than normal to the side effects of medication. This can be very helpful.

At the moment this testing is being covered by the research grant but is quite expensive if done privately. I expect that if it is demonstrated to be clinically useful, it will someday be routinely available and hopefully covered by our provincial health plan. It could end up saving money for both patient and society by reducing the number of different medications tried before finding an effective treatment option.

FEDERAL ELECTION

Mt. Polley Consider which party best mine disaster represents your Canada one year on To the editor: On August 4th last year, Quesnel Lake residents and communities along the Fraser River watershed were eagerly anticipating one of the largest sockeye returns in recent history. What they got instead was over 24 billion litres of mine waste burst through Imperial Metals’ Mount Polley dam into their watershed.

Mount Polley is the largest mining waste spill in Canada’s history. The consequences and overall costs of this disaster concern us all, including a steep cost on the industry’s reputation and public trust.

Yet a year later, the mine is running again under a restricted permit. While both the company and the B.C. government attempt to be reassuring, many questions remain unanswered.

What are the long-term impacts of the tailings breach on the local ecosystems? Initial water bans warned people not to drink or bathe. Quesnel Lake rose seven centimeters after the spill and its temperature increased by 2.5 degrees. The long-term effects of contaminants found in samples will need monitoring. The toxins are of concern to human health, animals and aquatic life.

Despite approval to restart, there are still no long-term plans regarding site clean-up costs, water treatment, and mining wastes management. Locally impacted First Nations and communities are being forced to live with risks and too few answers.

What kind of financial assurance do we have from Imperial Metals to cover clean-up costs, damages, perpetual care of the site, or costs from other potential failures? Imperial Metals has lost over 40% of its share value since the disaster last year; investors are clearly concerned about the risks associated with its mining operations.

We should be too. Imperial Metals is still under two investigations that could lead to civil and criminal charges against it, which in turn could lead to costly sanctions or litigations. The public could be left on the hook if the company is unable to pay the bill.

The independent review of the Mount Polley disaster predicted two tailings dam failures every decade in B.C. We should not have to ask which two rivers or watersheds are next. We need to prevent future failures by strengthening and updating our outdated mining laws - some of which were written over 150 years ago. The government’s commitment to review the Mining Code is welcomed, but it needs to be broad enough to address the full range of necessary changes.

Mining shouldn’t mean toxic fish and water bans. As we commemorate the oneyear anniversary of the Mount Polley disaster, let’s commit to moving out of the gold rush mentality and into an era of modern, more responsible mining.

Ugo Lapointe, Canadian program coordinator, MiningWatch Canada, Ottawa Editor’s Note: According to its website, miningwatch.ca, MiningWatch Canada pursues four key goals: Ensuring corporate accountability, promoting environmental planning, reforming mining laws and policies and protecting water.

To the editor: Consider which party best represents the Canada you want

Canada or something else?

This planet does not belong to us, it belongs to future generations. Our decisions, actions and behaviours today will determine what kind of world we send to those future generations.

On October 19, Canadians will shape that future during what will arguably be the most important election this country has ever seen.

I don’t recognize the current Canada, and as it stands this is not the Canada I want to send to my grandson who will be born in October.

It is not acceptable to me that rules and legislation have been changed to accommodate special interest groups.

It is not acceptable to me that we are not only dragging our heels, but actively blocking global efforts to tackle climate change.

It is not acceptable to me that we have shifted from a peacekeeping nation to a warmonger.

It is not acceptable to me that an atmosphere of fear is being created and fostered through trickery and deceit.

It is not acceptable to me that First Nations are treated like second class citizens in their own country.

It is not acceptable to me that my hard earned tax dollars are so poorly spent.

It is not acceptable to me that attack campaigns and bullying have become common practice during elections and I have to ask what kind of message that sends to our current generation, never mind future generations.

In the past the ‘silent majority’ have helped

to shape and support Canada as it stands today by exercising their silence. At one time I was a card carrying member of the ‘silent majority,’ I didn’t like any of the choices that government offered and so I rebelled. I have learned from my mistake, and realize that I bear full responsibility for the way Canada is today, a Canada I don’t recognize any more.

It’s time for Canadians to decide what Canada will look like post election. We Canadians are charged with electing a government to represent Canadian values, morals and desires. We have already seen wide spread differences in how the different parties are presenting themselves and if a person looks it is relatively easy to see what sort of future our choice in this election will make.

One thing is for sure, by not voting you will support whatever way the wind will blow, and that is what has created the mess we find ourselves in today.

I encourage you to get involved in this election and vote for the party that best represents your values, morals and desires.

We have forgotten who shapes what Canada is and becomes, it’s time to stand up and create the Canada we want.

It’s important that we sort through the barrage of election hype that is coming in the next interminable few months, an election campaign that has already gone on way too long. Maybe we can start by asking ourselves one question: Is what this candidate and this party proposing going to promote further harm to Canada and Canadians, or will it promote care?

LAWLESS WEEKENDS

Bylaws work 9-5, Mon-Fri when everyone’s behaving Bylaw officers don’t work when most bylaws being broken To the editor: I encourage everyone to call the Regional District of the Central Okanagan (RDCO) and ask why there is no bylaw enforcement on weekends in the RDCO, but there is bylaw enforcement on weekends in Lake Country ticketing the model airplane flying club for camping each day of the long weekend.

We called RDCO about a bylaw infraction on Friday before the long weekend and left a message on the answering machine, and

by Tuesday we called again to find out if the bylaw will be enforced.

On Tuesday we were told no, because they were too busy with their prior work load.

The RCMP tell us they will not attend to bylaw infractions either.

Most people break bylaws when they are home from work, but bylaws only work normal working hours like everyone else.

Why are bylaw officers not working when people are off work, instead of working when everyone is at work?

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association 2005, shockwave therapy had a 91% success rate for the treatment of calcific Rotator Cuff Tendonitis.

Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

I tell them about the tennis elbow and shoulder tendonitis I had, both of which nearly caused me to shut down my practice. I talk about the multitude of therapies I tried to no avail. Then I talk about Shockwave

Shoulder aches and pains are common, but because our arms seldom get a rest, these aches often become chronic injuries: knots, spasms, frozen shoulder and tendonitis.

Many of us learn to live with it and think, “It’s a part of my lifestyle or job”. Many of us have had chronic tendonitis, making it difficult to lift a carton of milk or wash our hair. And many of us have exhausted a variety of therapies.

OKANAGAN COLLEGE

Trades campaign gets another boost Students in the automotive service technician program at Okanagan College will test drive an exciting new learning environment next spring thanks to a generous donation from a local automotive dealer.

Kelowna Toyota has donated $50,000 to the Bright Horizons Building

for Skills Campaign.

The donation will support the construction of a classroom in the new three-storey trades training complex, currently under construction at the KLO Road campus in Kelowna.

“As the technology in our vehicles advances at an ever-increasing pace,

:NOW 10 20

it is vital for automotive tradespeople to have a solid foundation of formal training,” said Jack Kofoed, dealer principal at Kelowna Toyota.

“We have had the privilege of hiring numerous Red Seal graduates from the college over the years and have seen first-hand

the quality of the training they receive.

“The new complex is going to be a great resource for our region and we are proud to support it.”

And the college is appreciative.

“It is very encouraging

TRADES FUNDRAISING

Local auto dealer kicks in $50,000 OC FROM A8

for our students, and for everyone at the College, when industry steps forward in a bold way like this to recognize their potential and support their futures,” said Okanagan College president Jim Hamilton.

“We are very grateful to Kelowna Toyota as one of the local industry leaders who have stepped forward as donors and champions in the community for this project.”

The auto dealership has also donated two vehicles to Okanagan College in

9

recent years.

The donated vehicles provide valuable handson training opportunities for students.

Once the students and instructors have ensured they are roadready, the vehicles are then auctioned off by the Okanagan College Foundation with proceeds going towards student support.

Kofoed visited the Kelowna campus recently to tour the renovated automotive service technician shop, which is already in use, as are updated shops for carpentry, collision

repair, and heavy duty mechanical trades.

“It is wonderful for the Okanagan to have a trades trainer like the college to supply local industry,” he said.

“Providing opportunities for students here in the valley, and establishing the Okanagan as a hot spot for trades, benefits us all.”

The new trades training complex in its entirety is expected to open in spring 2016.

Blending renovation of existing facilities and new

construction in what the college calls an innovative way is a challenge that OC has embraced with the project.

In addition to the new trades training tower along KLO Road, the college is also aiming to meet LEED Platinum and Living Building Challenge standards with the renovated shop and classroom spaces.

When the doors open next spring, it will accommodate more than 2,400 students annually.

The $7-million fundraising campaign

for the 10,000-squaremetre complex renovation and expansion project launched in October 2014.

Okanagan College is aiming to raise $5 million for capital construction costs and $2 million for program and student support to top up the provincial government’s commitment of $28 million for the project.

More information about the college’s Bold Horizons fundraising campaign can be found at www.okanagan.bc.ca/ campaign.

“I have taken singing lessons and been in singing competitions growing up and taken a bunch of dance lesson programs as well,” she said.

According to Health Canada, older Canadians are healthier, more affluent, and living longer and more independent lives than ever before.

Seniors are physically more active and are engaged with their families and their communities. They are challenging many of the negative stereotypes we hold about aging and showing us that life is for living with vigour and vitality.

But it is also true that some seniors struggle from time to time with mental illness and depression.

For seniors living in the community, it is estimated that five per cent to 10 per cent will experience a depressive disorder that is serious enough to require treatment. And the rate of anxiety and depression dramatically increases to between 30 per cent and 40 per cent for seniors living in institutions.

Feeling sad is normal,

Fitness For Seniors BOBBI MOGER it’s a temporary feeling that comes and goes.

Depression is more severe and lasts longer. It can leave you feeling hopeless helpless and worthless.

Depression in seniors is often the result of chronic health conditions, the recent passing of a loved one, fear of death, living alone, frustration over the inability to do the things they once did, and loss of independence and control over their lives.

Some who battle depression may have a hard time thinking positively and tend to be excessively critical and think untrue things about themselves. Therefore it is very important to challenge your automatic negative thoughts and focus on the positive.

Sometimes making a list of some of the good or positive events in your life or doing something for someone else can be good for your self-esteem and distract you from your own problems.

Often when you’re feeling down the tendency is to isolate yourself and restricted activity which is the worst thing to do. Maintaining and increasing activity is one of the best antidotes for depression. You may not always feel up to it, but making a deliberate effort to plan pleasurable activities is the best thing you can do.

A few self-help ideas are going for a nature walk, joining a social club, watching a funny movie, getting a massage or taking a hot bath. Whatever you find pleasurable will help lift your spirit.

Exercise lifts depression

and negative moods, but depression can prevent individuals from participating successfully in an exercise program.

Depressed people will often complain they feel too tired to exercise, but the feelings of fatigue associated with depression are not due to physical exhaustion.

Start out with 20 to 30 minutes a day of some sort of exercise or activity you enjoy and once you get yourself moving you may find you have more energy and feel better?

It may take time to feel better don’t be discouraged. If some of self-help strategies are not helping, it’s important you see your family doctor. If depression is not managed, it can compromise the treatment of other conditions and can increase the risk of prolonged disability Bobbi Moger is a senior’s fitness specialist in Kelowna.

CENTRAL OKANAGAN

Recycled plastic bags turned into outdoor decks Outdoor decks made with recycled plastic bags? That’s right.

If you’re thinking of adding a deck to your home’s outdoor space, you can do yourself and the environment a favour by checking out decking made with recycled plastics.

This versatile decking lets you beautify your home and close the recycling loop. Recycled plastic decking has really grown in popularity in recent years and now is readily available online and at most major home improvement stores.

Recycled plastic decking typically is made from recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastics used for plastic bags, wraps and more.

You’ve probably seen the collection bins for bags and wraps at many grocery chains and large retailers.

Once cleaned, the plastics are heated and combined with other materials such as pigments and UV blockers—and even wood fibres to make “composites”—before being molded into items such as decking

Plastic bag recycled outdoor deck. planks, posts and spindles.

Recycled plastic decking can combine the often-desired look of wood with the strength and durability of plastics, so it’s an ideal building material for use outdoors.

Beyond providing beautiful gathering spaces for barbecues and celebrations, recycled plastic decks offer many practical advantages: • low maintenance; recycled plastic decking requires very little • maintenance; you typi-

cally can keep your deck clean simply by sweeping or hosing off dirt and debris, as needed • long lasting; recycled plastic decks are extremely durable and resistant to decay and weather damage • because the colour is molded into the material, they don’t require repainting or restaining. Plus they resist stains, cracks, splinters, scuffs, mould, mildew and pesky wood boring insects • DIY-friendly; some

recycled plastic decking includes practical fasteners and hidden decking screws that make installation and repairs easy for handy homeowners • beyond good looks and convenience, decks made with recycled plastics can leave a lighter environmental footprint • less frequent replacement; thanks to their durability, recycled plastic decks can last a long time, which helps conserve materials over time

• LEED credits; a deck made with recycled plastics might help a home earn points in the Canada Green Building Council LEED program, potentially contributing to the total points needed to obtain LEED certification.

Recycled plastic decking helps give new life to valuable materials and keeps them out of landfills.

For example, one major manufacturer states that an average 500-squarefoot deck made with their plastic composite decking contains 140,000 recycled plastic bags.

And beyond decking, recycled plastic lumber is used to create other outdoor home products such as planters, stairs, fencing, patio furniture and more. Just imagine how good you’ll feel leaning back in that recycled plastic Muskoka chair.

Today’s intelligent plastics are vital to the modern world.

These materials enhance our lifestyles, our economy and the environment.

Tips on how to keep cool Under the hot Okanagan summer sunshine, many households will turn on their air conditioning in an attempt to beat the heat. But there are also other, budget-friendly ways to stay cool: • Install ceiling fans: Use ceiling fans to circulate the cool air. Fan blades should operate in a counter-clockwise direction to move the air

downwards and maximize air circulation so your air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard.

• Head downstairs: Since hot air rises, the upper stories of a home will be warmer than the ground floor.

• Have a BBQ: Barbecuing outdoors in the summer is much more efficient than using a

conventional stove, which will warm up the house and can cause the air conditioner to work even harder.

• Close the windows/blinds: Keep windows closed during the day to keep the cool air in and unwanted hot air out. Close curtains or blinds on the windows that are receiving direct sunlight.

Of Prime Interest: The appraisal process clarified

Every real estate property has unique characteristics that make it different from the next. Even identical looking houses on the same street can have hidden factors that could create property value differences.

One house could have a newly renovated kitchen with brand new appliances and a finished basement while the house next door may need of major interior repairs.

These differences are not obvious from the outside, but will greatly affect the value as well as the sale price of the two homes.

In order for a financial institution to have an understanding of the value of the property compared to the application amount for a mortgage, an appraiser is called in to determine a market value of the residence.

That appraised value determines how much money the mortgage lender is willing to lend.

There are different ways for appraisers to arrive at that price value, but the most common for residential properties is the comparative or market method.

The appraiser compares recently sold properties similar in characteristics and area, information that can be solicited from the Multiple Listings (MLS) for no less than three comparative sales. After comparable recently sold properties are identified by the appraiser, adjustments are made for any specific differences in the properties that add or detract value.

The appraisal will show the potential sale value of the property within the last 90 days, to stay current with changing values. Along with coming up with comparable sales, an appraiser will measure the rooms of your home and look firsthand at the overall condition of the property.

If you are financing an older home the appraiser will state what the “remaining economic life” of the home is. If your home has a remaining economic life of 15 years, the amortization will be reduced accordingly.

The cost of the appraisal, normally borne by the borrower, is $300 to $350. Financing is always based on the lesser of the appraised value or the purchase price.

When it comes to property over five acres, some money lenders will only accept appraisals based on a maximum five acres plus the residence. Others will give value for the full acreage and whatever other improvements are on the property.

Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of mortgage professionals Trish Balaberde, 250-470-8324; Christine Hawkins, 250-826-2001; and Darwyn Sloat, 250-718-4117.

Helping to grow British Columbia’s agrifoods sector Agriculture is ingrained in our culture and economy, not just here in the Okanagan but across our great province.

Most everyone knows someone who runs a farm or agrifood business, is employed by one, or enjoys the fruits of its

these notes in their award-winning wines.

But when you look across B.C., you’ll find other high-quality agrifoods in every corner of it‚ from North Vancouver Island seafood to South Vancouver Island cheeses; from Fraser Valley poultry to Interior beef; from Peace Region canola to Kootenay honey.

I had the interests of all of B.C. producers and farmers on my mind at last week during federal-provincialterritorial agriculture ministers meetings in Charlottetown, ensuring their voices were heard in Ottawa and around Canada.

One highlight of our discussions centred on the issue of supply management. We reaffirmed support for developing new markets around the world for Canadian products, including through the Trans-Pacific Partnership, while continuing to preserve the integrity of the supply management system.

I made it clear that the B.C. government appreciates the hard work of dairy, poultry and egg producers and the trusted, consistent supply of the safe and high-

work hard to produce the best apples, cherries and other tree fruits that we all enjoy and our talented vintners often capture

labour.

Indeed, fruit is among our prized agricultural products in the Kelowna area. Our local growers

I also reiterated the government’s support of maintaining supply management.

For those unfamiliar, The Trans-Pacific Partnership will deepen Canada’s trade ties in the fast-growing Asia-Pacific region while enabling us to maintain a strong North American production platform, creating jobs and opportunity in our country.

I also brought the voice of B.C.’s seafood producers to the table, as I work with my counterparts to develop further opportunities for the sector to participate in future federal-provincial funded programs. We discussed upcoming negotiations for Growing Forward, our policy framework for Canada’s agricultural and agrifood sector‚ and I communicated the need for provincial flexibility to be part of the agreement, namely on seafood innovation.

HURRY! DEADLINE FRIDAY ~ for VIP BONUS

I’m also pleased to report that among the other issues we discussed‚ like sustainability, pest control, and the importance of efficient transportation‚was one of great importance to our local wine industry.

I’m talking about directto-consumer wine and the need to remove internal barriers, which our premier has also been actively advocating.

The B.C. government continues to work to break down internal barriers to Canadian trade and urge other provinces to follow the leadership of B.C., Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan in facilitating the interprovincial trade of wine.

We’ve seen B.C.’s agrifoods sector grow by over $1 billion in a few years, reaching $11.7 billion annually. You can help by continuing to buy local and support the farmer or agrifood producer in your life.

It’s a delicious and healthy way to keep our local, provincial and even federal economy “growing” forward.

Kelowna played host to a series of rugby games on the weekend as Team B.C. won all four matches against representatives from the Prairies. Coming up this weekend, the U14 and U15 teams take over the play at Parkinson Rec.

RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIPS

B.C. wins four battles at Western Canada Rugby Championships BC’s clean sweep made possible by a lastsecond try from their U18 women’s side.

A try in the last minute by the BC U-18 Women’s rugby team on Sunday gave them a 25-17 win over the Prairies team, enough to win the twogame aggregate score title by one point. The BC side had lost the Friday game to the same team by a score of 27-20 and needed an eight point win and that is exactly what they got.

The U-18 women’s win gave B.C. a clean sweep of all four headto-head matches at the Western Canada Rugby Championships, held on the August long weekend in Kelowna.

The biggest margin of victory came from the BC U-16 Men’s team, who hammered their Prairie opponent 34-0 on Sunday morning after a tight 27-14 win in their Friday match. Their 47-point differential was slightly better than the B.C. U-18 Men’s team, who racked up a 45-point aggregate score win in their 31-3 and 34-17 wins.

The most impressive rugby games on the weekend were played by the B.C. and Prairie Senior

Women’s teams. Twelve of Canada’s international players from the recent Super Series were in Kelowna to compete in the senior women’s games. The tackling and pace of play was outstanding in both the Friday and Sunday games and was an indication of why Canada is ranked second in the world in both sevens and 15-a-side rugby.

After trailing 20-10 late in the Friday match, BC’s Senior Women’s side fought back to defeat the Prairies 24-20. On Sunday, it was the Prairie side who fought back.

Trailing 34-13 with 20 minutes left, the Prairie squad surged through the 30-plus degree heat to score two quick tries and trail only 3427 with three minutes left. Time did not work in their favor, and the BC Senior Women won the Western Canada Rugby Championships with an 11-point differential.

“The rugby this weekend was amazing,” said Doug Manning, event coordinator. “The national selectors who were here were very impressed with the quality of play, despite the scorching heat.”

The Kelowna Rockets have found a new head coach.

The Rockets announced Tuesday that the Western Hockey League team had hired Brad Ralph from the ECHL’s Idaho Steelheads to replace the departed Dan Lambert, who was hired as an assistant coach by the Buffalo Sabres this off-season.

Ralph, 34, was the head coach of the Steelheads for the past three seasons and will be the ninth head coach in Kelowna Rockets history.

Rockets general manager Bruce Hamilton made the announcement at a press conference at Proserpera Place’s Manhattan Point restaurant.

“We’re really excited,” said Hamilton. “Brad has a tremendous coaching record. I believe we found someone who fits in with the culture we have here.

He fully understands what we expect as an

Year.

“It’s an honour to coach the Kelowna Rockets and I’m excited to get to know the players and the organization,” said Ralph. “The Rockets have a great tradition of winning and I’m looking forward to learning why this team has been so successful over the years.

I think there is a great group of players coming back here and I’m excited to guide them back to where they were last year.”

A native of Richmond, ON, Ralph played junior hockey for the OHL’s Oshawa Generals before being drafted in the second round of the 1999 NHL Entry Draft by the Phoenix Coyotes. Over an eight year professional career, Ralph played over 450 professional games (North America and Europe) and was team captain on four of the nine teams he played on.

The 2015 Kelowna Falcons are the best baseball club in team history in the win column.

The West Coast League club won their 29th game of the season on Saturday night in Bellingham, beating the Bells 8-1 with some late inning runs and setting a franchise record for wins in the process.

The Falcons followed that win with its 30th of the season the next night and are now back in Kelowna beginning a series against Corvallis this week.

In its record setting win, Kelowna scored a pair in the 1st inning off two walks, and back to back RBI singles from Justin Flores and Max Carter who went 3 for 5 in the ballgame.

On the mound Brady Miller won his 6th game

of the year with six strong innings, giving up four hits and striking out a season-high six batters.

Kelowna added 6 runs off the Bells bullpen, scoring 1 in the 7th off a Kyle Plantier RBI double, and a 2-run shot from Hunter Villanueva in the 8th.

Three more runs were added in the 9th as an error extended the inning for Ben Gamba to knock in 2 with an RBI double.

Meylan picked up the other RBI. Alex Webb threw two scoreless innings, while Spencer Applebach worked a scoreless 9th.

On Sunday afternoon the team’s completed its season series with a 3-1 win over Bellingham.

Kensi Renneberg and Jessie McKay have never been intimidated by competing with or against the boys.

That should explain a lot about why the two local teenagers are among the top young female baseball players in the province.

For the second straight summer, Renneberg, 15, and McKay, 14, are members of Team B.C. for the Canadian U16 girls baseball championship, Aug. 13 to 17 in Saguenay, Que. In addition to playing locally this spring on the Okanagan Angels all-girls team, the two have been honing their skills on male-based teams—Renneberg with the Rutland bantam A and AA boys clubs, and McKay with the Kelowna Cubs bantam boys.

Both have also been members of the Team B.C. girls’ program since 2013.

From House to Home I recently buried my dear father Paul. I miss him. God blessed me with an extraordinary father. He was a great teacher, provider, mentor, encourager and role model. From 1968 to early 1990’s he and my mother built a successful local business, Paul Construction Ltd.. Dad designed and supervised the construction of hundreds of homes and several commercial projects in and around Kelowna. His greatest joy was to watch as a plan, lines he had drawn on paper, took shape and become a house.

First the foundation and basement were dug, formed and poured. Then carpenters built the frame, the skeletal structure, of the house. The house’s plumbing, heating and electrical systems were roughed in. The exterior and interior surfaces were covered with shingles, gutters, siding, brick, stucco, doors, windows, drywall and flooring. Cabinets, appliances, plumbing, heating and cooling and fixtures were installed. The home was eventually inspected, approved and deemed ready for occupancy, most often by a family. With a family under its roof, this house became a home. A place of shelter and a place of growth.

Thousands of meals would be prepared and shared under that roof. Children would be grow into adulthood and leave that home to start their own.

My father loved to watch this process unfold. It was a privilege for him to play a role in this process; to design and build a house that became a home.

As a man of faith, my father, the maker of plans, was a part of a plan.

The words of Holy Scripture reveal that God has a great plan for His children, the church, the body of Christ. The Apostle Peter revealed this plan in his first letter to the church, “...you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” (1 Peter 2:5) The church is described as a spiritual building, made up of living stones, real people, arranged by God’s hand into a real community. Expressions

of God’s spiritual household can be seen almost everywhere in our world. The living stones are active within God’s living spiritual house, as they are also priests. They worship God through prayer, praise and thanksgiving. They proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in its purity and in God’s name administer the Sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion. They work together with other congregations to reach out with the Gospel in the community around them and the world. They work with other congregations to serve those in need through humanitarian outreach.

They invite people into their spiritual household. Many come to God’s spiritual household for shelter and solace. By God’s Word proclaimed and the Sacraments administered many of these guests are transformed into a living stones, incorporated into the spiritual building and made priests.

By God’s grace and mercy His house becomes their home. My father was one who entered the spiritual building as a cherished guest and by God’s providence and the means of Grace was made a living stone in God’s spiritual household. Dad worshiped, learned and served in God’s spiritual household. God directed dad’s skills and gifts to design and supervise the construction of a church building and work with others Christian brothers and sisters in the development of seniors’ housing.

While God has been at work in this world building a spiritual households for the last 2,000 years, His building plans go beyond this life and this world. Jesus revealed another building program, a kingdom in the making.

“My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders.

But now my kingdom is from another place.” (John 18:36) Jesus described his coming kingdom as a household. “My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?” (John 14:2) Jesus also has a plan

for bringing his subjects into his kingdom. “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” (John 14:3). Jesus spoke these words on the night before he suffered on the cross and died for our sins. He promised that the cords of death would not hold him prisoner.

He promised that he would break the cords of death and become the resurrection and the life. He promised that he would return to his Father in heaven and wanted all who believed in him to be where he is. Jesus also revealed the pathway and the gateway to his kingdom. “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6).

Jesus revealed these plans and made these promises while he was on his way to the cross. By his innocent suffering and death on the cross and his glorious resurrection Jesus changed suffering and death from a bitter ending into a new beginning. All Jesus asks is that you believe in him in order to share in this new beginning. “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.” (John 14:1).

The “living stones” and “priests” of God’s spiritual household at 1162 Hudson Road in West Kelowna, meet on Sunday mornings at 9:00AM Contemporary and 10:30AMTraditional, for prayer, praise and thanksgiving, and are fed and transformed by God’s Word and the Sacraments. Please come in and join us. Perhaps this house could become your home.

‘My life revolves around baseball,’ Renneberg BASEBALL FROM A21 “I found the girls softball teams weren’t all that competitive, it wasn’t the level of play I expected, so I decided to play baseball with boys teams,” said Renneberg, who is heading into Grade 11 at KSS. “Boys were more aggressive, they seemed to keep their heads in the game more, I just enjoyed it…it appealed to me more.

“It’s been so much fun,” she added. “My life revolves around baseball now.”

Renneberg and McKay are among about 20 girls

currently playing minor baseball in Kelowna.

McKay started out playing for fun a few years ago, but around the time she met Kensi, she began to take the game a lot more seriously.

Now there’s nothing McKay would rather do in her spare time than play baseball.

“I love the competition, I love playing, it just makes me happy,” said McKay, who is entering Grade 10 this fall at Mt. Boucherie Secondary. “It’s nice to show that girls really can play baseball and can be good and competitive at the sport.”

ROTORS

There are a few problems that can create havoc with your rotors. Below are the most common.

Water doesn’t spray from nozzles: the cause is usually the screen is plugged with debris, so if you clean the screen the problem will usually disappear.

The sprinkler does not rotate: there are a few reasons this can happen. If there is not enough water or water pressure to rotate the sprinkler – the problem can be fixed by splitting the zone in two.

There could be debris in the sprinkler head, you can try cleaning the sprinkler head, or the problem could be a faulty sprinkler head in which case you will need to replace the sprinkler.

If the sprinkler rotates in one direction and then stop: there are again several reasons that can cause this - once again the culprit could be low water pressure or not enough water in which case you will need to split the zone in two. The sprinkler head could be faulty and you would then need to replace the sprinkler.

Or the last reason is the sprinkler could be missing a nozzle in which case you will need to replace the nozzle.

Renneberg is a pitcher and infielder, while McKay also pitches and plays some shortstop.

Both will get a chance to take to the mound later this month at the Canadian U16 girls championship in Quebec.

Team B.C. coach Darren Rock says the two girls are a pleasure to coach.

“First, they both have natural abilities and are tremendous athletes,” said Rock. “Second, no other player I’ve ever had works harder than Kensi does.

“Jessie, she has really good mechanics and works hard, too. Both are very good listeners and they want to get better.”

Last year, with Renneberg and McKay on the team, B.C. finished fifth overall.

The Kelowna and West Kelowna teens both expect to be better prepared the second time around.

“I have a better idea of what to expect, I should be a little more comfortable and I know a lot of the other girls

will, too,” Renneberg said. “The scouts will be watching…it’s going to be a really exciting week.”

“Last year I didn’t think I was going to play much,” said McKay. “Being the youngest on the team, I was pretty nervous. But once I got out there and played, I got the hang of it. I’m excited about going there again.”

The two girls are also understandably excited about a major event this winter that will no doubt assist in their continued development on the baseball diamond.

Renneberg and McKay will take part in the Team Canada women’s I.D. and development camp from Feb. 14 to 21 in Havana, Cuba.

The Canadian girls will have a chance to train with members of the Cuban national team, receive coaching from former Cuban professionals, as well as from members of the Canadian national team staff.

HARDY, MARYANN EDITH (WILEMAN) Maryann passed away peacefully Sunday Aug 2nd at the age of 80.

Maryann was born Oct 4, 1936 in Kinuso Alberta. She moved from Alberta to Summerland BC in 1944.

Maryann or Grandma as she was known, loved gardening, travelling, bowling, her cats and dogs, and spending time at the Beach House.

Maryann and Ken lived and farmed in South Kelowna for over 50 years while also operating a logging company. Square dancing was a big part of her life.

Maryann leaves behind her husband of 59 years, Ken, and their children, Carol, Don (Michelle), Jean (Bill) Lanoue, Glen (Jane), Clifford (Catherine), Keith (Carolyn), Lorraine (Pete) Zarowny, and her 18 grandchildren, Brant, Cody, Craig, Pat, Jamieson, Brian, Jaclynn, Kelsey, Thomas, Shayla, Elizabeth, Alexander, Nathan, Colton, Nicholas, Charlotte, Kaden, Jessica, and first great grandchild Stephen. Maryann also leaves behind her sisters Ella James and Deanna (Ernie) Wiens.

A special thank you to the staff at Village of Mill Creek for the great care they provided.

A celebration of life will be held Thursday, Aug 6th at 10:00 am at Springfield Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers a donation to the Alzheimer’s society would be appreciated.

ANDRZEJ KOSIOREK Andre was born in Warsaw, Poland, February 17, 1928, and passed away peacefully August 1, 2015 at the Hospice in the presence of his loving wife Doreen. He is predeceased by his baby daughter Krystyna, his parents and sister in Poland, and missed by his loving wife, godchildren and his little Yorkie “Benny.” Andre was part of the Polish Underground as a sixteen-year-old, was wounded and taken prisoner by the Nazis; liberated by the Americans, he made his way to Italy and then England in 1946 where he met his future wife and married in 1948. They came to Vancouver in 1965 and eventually Kelowna.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Pius X Catholic Church, 1077 Fuller Avenue, Kelowna, BC at 1:00 p.m., Friday, August 7th 2015.

GRACE LOUISE YAEGER Our dear Mom, grandmother, great grandmother and friend, Grace L. Yaeger passed away peacefully at Chase B.C. on July 30th, 2015 at the age of 91.

Grace is survived by daughters Lorraine Yaeger of Vernon, BC and Bonnie (David) Hunter of Chase, BC, granddaughters Jennifer (Angus) Beaton, Lana Hunter, great granddaughter Claire Mahri Beaton; sister-in-law Grace Meredith and nephew Doug Meredith. Sadly predeceased by her loving husband Norman (2013), infant daughter Betty Marie (1952) and nephew Brian Meredith (2014).

Mom was a lively, determined, authentic red-head as well as the only child of Jim and Marie Chalmers. This combination of attributes chartered a life from Waterhole, Alberta (a real place...it’s on her birth certificate) to BC’s sunny Thompson Okanagan.

The early years (north of 56 degrees latitude) were spent enjoying school, sports, country picnics and horses.

Much to her father’s disapproval, Gracie loved to jump ol’ Blue, the family mare, over farmyard fences.

Simply effortless she was!

Music and dancing was another passion of Mom’s.

Ironically, she met Norman Yaeger, the love of her life, at a local dance in 1943.He was on leave from the RCAF. They married May 31, 1944 and continued their love of dance until Dad’s death in 2013 (New Year’s 2013 was their last dance celebration).

Two daughters, Lorraine (1948) and Bonnie (1952) arrived on the scene much to Mom’s delight (She hated being an only child).

Mom was also the best bill collector for Dad’s corner store in Hines Creek. Nobody messed with the feisty red-head!

Many good years were spent up north but a move to Kelowna BC in 1963 became a reality. Family, friends, sports and travel became the highlight of Mom’s retirement years. Curling in the winter. Golf in the summer, until the “cold winters” sent them south to California for over 30 years. Many miles were put on that “little Chief” motorhome.

Mom was recognized for TWO holes-in-one by Golf digest (coming 20 years apart). A feat Dad never achieved ... with a witness that is!!!! She gave Dad one!

We are going to miss your “Irish” humour and unmistakable kindness. Forever Dad’s sweetheart. He’s waiting for you now. I’m keeping the crib board ‘til we meet again.

Love you Mom. Rest in Peace. Here’s to Willy Nelson’s “On the Road Again”.... your Bonnie Loree A graveside service was held Tuesday, August 4 at Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery. Memorial donations in honour of her memory may be made to a charity of your choice.

ANGEL ID# 373633

AMBER ID# 374076

2 YEARS DOMESTIC MED HAIR SPAYED FEMALE

2 YEARS GERMAN SHEPHERD SPAYED FEMALE

We know nothing of Ambers background, so she and her new quardians will be starting with a clean slate. She is very active, and would love to go for long walks, hiking and camping. She loves people and making them laugh. Amber will need an active home and a new family with older children to keep her happy and busy, so if she sounds like the perfect addition to home, come & spend some time getting to know her.

Angel is very loving and would make a great lap kitty in any home.

She accepts hugs and a good head rub will make sure she follows you anywhere. She is house trained and OK with other cats. If you have been thinking about adding to your family, then come down and spend some time getting to know Angel. She can hardly wait to meet you.

GHOST ID# 266908

Ghost & Max came to the shelter as bonded brothers. They have been together since birth and are so hoping to find a forever home TOGETHER. Ghost is a little bolder and more independent, and Max is a little more introverted but is quite the love. A quiet home would be ideal as they are just a bit on the shy side right now. Both boys are very people-oriented and love to interact and would make a wonderful addition to your home. They are house trained and get along with other felines. If you feel you could give these bros the perfect environment then ask the staff to set up a meet and greet with them.

2 YEARS DOMESTIC LONG HAIR SPAYED FEMALE

TOLL FREE ANIMAL CRUELTY HOTLINE 1-855-622-7722 (BC SPCA) The call centre is open 7 days a week from 8am - 7:30pm.

If there is an animal emergency outside of these hours, please contact your local SPCA.

MAX

3 YEARS OLD DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR NEUTERED MALES

To report an animal in distress… call

At certain points in the day, your vehicle can get up to 60+ Celsius, add on a few pounds of fur and your dog is on the fast track to death. Dogs and cats pant to release heat through their paws, which keeps them cool, but in the warmth of your car, this is not possible. So, leave your pet at home and your perky pooch will thank you!

ID#266907

LEILA ID#372801

Leila would be a great little friend for any family. She wants to spend time on your lap while you read a good book and give her gently head scratches.

She is a forever friend and hopes that their is a new guardian out there looking to bond with her. Ask the staff to set up a meet and greet so she can show you how much love and affection she has to offer.

If you see a dog in a car on a hot day that you believe may be in trouble, call your local SPCA, animal shelter, or police immediately.

HICKORY ID# 367220

STARLING ID#374331 2 MONTHS OLD DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR NEUTERED MALE

Starling is cute as a button and a most loving kitten. He does love to play and sometimes find trouble... but soon tires of running around and looks for a warm comfortable lap to crash in...do you have a lap like that? He is looking for a loving gentle home with an empty window sill to fill. Come down and spend some time playing with him and see if he hits that soft spot in your heart.

TEEKA ID#374320 1 YEAR 6 MOS. DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR SPAYED FEMALE

Teeka is still a kitten at heart and very easy to get along with. She would suit a home with a family that likes to have their cat by their side often, as interaction is one of her favorite things. If you feel you have the time and devotion to give to her and make her happy with lots of play sessions then you would be puurfect together!

We know nothing of Whiskeys background but we can tell you he is one gem of a canine. Very responsive to voice commands, he obviously has had some training with a previous owner.

He excels at any task you give him...just wanting to please, which are dominant traits of both his breeds. He will make a great family dog, loves walking, hiking, running. If you come down for a meet and greet we advise bringing the whole family (canines included), please ask the staff to have him ready.
