than in 2003, when the Okanagan Mountain Park fire roared through Kelowna.

“When the concentration (of fine particulates in the air) are extremely high almost everybody will be affected,” said Golmohammadi.

“We know people who are older adults or young children, pregnant women and those that have lung or heart conditions are at a higher risk, but when the concentrations are this high almost everyone can be affected by it.”

With the smoke in the air, residents young and old have been breathing in fine particulate matter, particles that are microscopic, yet hard for a person’s lungs to handle.

Dr. Golmohammadi says the fine particulate lodges in the tissues of

CONTRIBUTED

As residents of the Central Okanagan wait for the skies to clear from what is likely the worst air quality the area has ever seen, it appears that most people have been able to avoid the worst case scenario when it comes to their health.

Emergency rooms across the Okanagan have only seen a slight increase in visits over the last several days, since a thick layer of smoke rolled into the Okanagan Valley and raised the amount of fine particulate in the air to levels rarely seen in the Okanagan.

According to Interior Health, there wasn’t a considerable increase in visits to the emergency room at Kelowna General Hospital, although a few patients did present smoke-related symptoms on Monday.

Hospitals in Penticton and Oliver have also noticed an increase in visits since Sunday.

Interior Health medical health officer Dr. Kamran Golmohammadi says the concentration of fine particulate is the highest he has seen in the past decade and even worse

Mayor pushes again for fire mitigation

The smoky haze over the Central Okanagan was readily evident from everywhere across the city, including the Kelowna International Airport. No flights were delayed by the smoke. our lungs and will remain there as lungs can’t properly dispose of the particulate due to its size.

However the long-term effects of breathing in fine particulate for shorter periods of time are tougher to measure than residents of some parts of the world, who suffer from poor air quality on a regular basis.

“The major concern we have is with the very small

particulate matter that can go deep and lodge in the lungs, causing respiratory symptoms,” he said.

“There is a body of evidence that shows if you are exposed (to fine particulate) over many years, there are significant adverse effects.

“But for these shortterm and intermittent periods of exposure, the body of evidence and

scientific data is limited.

“We do not have a good idea of what it does when there is only a few days of exposure.”

With an increasing number of wildfires in B.C. and the ongoing situation in Washington State, incidents of poor air quality could be on the rise in the coming years.

Dr. Golmohammadi says dealing with it comes down to common sense

in many ways.

“It is very important to monitor symptoms and look and see how your health has been affected,” he said.

“Usually, if the number of asthma attacks is increasing or there are exacerbations of your chronic disease then consult with your doctor.” @KP_media1

Smoke has impact on summer tourism trade Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Thick smoke settled in the valley Saturday night, courtesy of northerly winds fanning the flames of a Washington wildfire—and it’s not expected to clear out soon.

“We may be hit by a second wave of smoke (Wednesday),” said Tarek Ayache, an air quality specialist with the B.C. Ministry of Environment, adding that it put the end to Tuesday conditions, which were murky, but also a marked improvement from what had been plaguing

valley residents for the two previous days.

Kelowna—along with the rest of the Okanagan and other southern interior cities—has been choking on smoke thicker than it’s ever experienced in the past.

One measurement of air quality refers to concentrations of fine particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micrometres (PM 2.5) When smoke had rolled into Kelowna by Sunday, it had a PM 2.5 reading of 390 micrograms per cubic metre. At the peak of the 2003 Okanagan Mountain

Park wildfire, the reading only got as high as 300 micrograms per cubic metre.

The reading had dropped to 43 micrograms per metre cubed for Tuesday, but was expected to rise for Wednesday.

It’s all contingent on weather patterns and how long it takes firefighters in Washington to contain the Stickpin fire.

“By all means, this is an extreme air quality episode, on every scale,” Ayache said, pointing out urban areas with well recorded pollution problems don’t deal with air quality issues of this magnitude

on a daily basis.

“This is an episode due to wildfires, so it will last a couple of days, not long term, but for those intense days, this is extreme poor quality.”

For the elderly, children, pregnant women and those who suffer from a myriad of health problems, the smoke is breathtaking.

But it’s also offered a hit to tourism groups of various kinds.

Okanagan Beach Rentals on Rotary Beach is one of the businesses that cater to tourists and staycationers alike, and it’s suffered from the thick smoke

that seeped into the valley.

“We were closed on Sunday, when it was at its thickest,” said business owner Barry Planedin on Tuesday.

“I think most people operating any watercraft business— motorized and nonmotorized— realized it was a non operational day. Monday was partly operational, and today feels like it’s still not quite back.”

By his estimates, activity at the beach is around 35 per cent of what it normally would be,

SEE IMPACT A4

West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater would like to see the province step up and provide better funding for fire mitigation.

Findlater explained fires cleanse the underbrush of forests every few years, but for the past century we have been putting out the fires, which has created 100 years of fuel for fires in the underbrush.

Fire mitigation is the process of sending out crews to clear out the underbrush and remove dead tree branches, which makes a potential fire in the area easier to deal with.

While West Kelowna has been able to do some underbrush clearing, Findlater noted there are some neighbourhoods that are next to vast areas that haven’t been touched, and without federal or provincial help they don’t have the means to do it.

There is a provincial program for underbrush clearing, but with a budget of only $5 million it isn’t providing close to enough to get the job done.

Findlater added if the province can spend $300 million annually on fighting forest fires, it can spend $20 million to $40 million on prevention.

West Kelowna will be putting forward a resolution about the issue at the annual Union of British Columbia Municipalities Conference in Vancouver from Sept.

21 to 25, and Findlater remains optimistic there will be support for the resolution.

• People with heart or lung conditions may be more sensitive to the effects of smoke and should watch for any change in symptoms that may be due to smoke exposure. If any symptoms are noted, affected individuals should take steps to reduce their exposure to smoke and if necessary see their physician. People with symptoms should go to their health care provider, walk-in clinic or hospital emergency department depending on severity of symptoms.

• Use common sense regarding outdoor physical activity—if your breathing becomes difficult or uncomfortable, stop or reduce the activity.

• Stay cool and drink plenty of fluids.

• Smoke levels may be lower indoors; however, be aware as well that levels of smoke particles will still be increased. • Consider visiting a location like a shopping mall with cooler filtered air. Keep in mind that staying indoors may help you stay cool and provide some relief from the smoke, however many air conditioning systems do not filter the air or improve indoor air quality.

• Reduce indoor pollution sources such as smoking or burning other materials.

• You may be able to reduce your exposure to smoke by moving to cleaner air. Conditions can vary dramatically by area and elevation.

• Residents with asthma or other chronic illness should activate their asthma or personal care plan.

• Pay attention to local air quality reports, air quality may be poor even though smoke may not be visible.

NO MONEY DOWN FOR 21 DAYS

The shroud of smoke covering the Kelowna area since Sunday raises visibility issues for the potential B.C. Wildfire Branch forest firefighting efforts.

Kayla Pepper, fire information officer for the wildfire branch, says the smoke wasn’t a factor in responding to three small separate grassfires in the Joe Rich area this week. “There were two fires along the McCulloch Lake forest service road and another near Highway 33 but our ground crews were able to quickly respond and put them out,” Pepper said.

But in a situation where air tanker or helicopter support was needed, Pepper acknowledged that air support isn’t available in smoke haze conditions.

“It presents us with two challenges. One is visibility as it is more difficult to see plumes of smoke where a forest fire has started when the sky is covered in smoke,” said Pepper, noting that can delay the response time.“The other challenge is air support to fight a fire. Our firefighting policy is to hit it hard and hit it fast so when the sky is full of smoke, that becomes difficult to do.”

Pepper said one positive from the smoke is it is keeping the temperatures cooler, but while that may offer a bit of a respite, she says, the fire season is likely to extend well into September.

“But, it’s always a balancing act.

“It killed a good Sunday for everyone in the industry, but hopefully good conditions will return late into September.”

If they do, tourists may return with them.

As is, a cavalcade of campers could be seen driving out of the valley this week.

Bear Creek Provincial Park campsite is usually booked solid throughout the summer, but there has been some turnover this week due to the smoke.

I have some folks from Vancouver, who were supposed to show up yesterday, and aren’t,” said Caroline Gravelle, gatehouse manager with Bear Creek.

“And the elderly and people with respiratory issues and health conditions…a lot of them have left.”

The spot is popular, however, so those lost bookings are being filled quickly.

For Cory Goldfinch, the owner of Postill Lake campground, the situation isn’t too different. “I haven’t had anyone leave, but I haven’t had anyone new come in either,” she said.

And from what she’s been told from a connection at the tourism booth on the Coquihalla, the tide of tourists had definitely ebbed. @kelownanewsKAT

High hopes for new youth centre Sawyer Klassen sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com

WAB KINEW SAWYER KLASSEN/CAPITAL NEWS

Westbank First Nations (WFN) has officially begun a new multi-million dollar construction project.

WFN is constructing a youth centre, and held a ground blessing ceremony Monday morning.

Construction recently began on the 14,000-square-foot project which, including a sports court, has a budget of $6 million.

Chief Robert Louie said there is an immediate need for a new youth centre, as the existing one was purchased second hand in 1998 and can no longer meet the needs of the community.

A new youth centre has been part of WFN’s capital plan since 2010.

Chief Louie explained he was proud to be building the youth of their community a state-ofthe-art, modern facility that will also be available to youth from other communities.

He added the new

facility will provide recreation for the entire

region and increase tourism.

The new youth centre will have many features including a learning garden and outdoor classrooms, and will fill many different uses for the community and the ability to rent space within it for events.

Construction is anticipated to be completed in November 2016, at which time they

will begin building an adjacent sports court that will be the size of three basketball courts.

The sports court is scheduled to be done by July 2017.

success, it gives up and healing stops.

Shockwave Therapy breaks up scar tissue, restoring the function of the muscle and promoting new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. In fact, in a double blind study published in Journal of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society, 90%of patients suffering from heel and arch pain showed significant improvements with Shockwave.

Furthermore, Shockwave Therapy (developed to break up kidney stones) has success rates of between 77%-91% in the treatment of other soft tissue conditions. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

DR. RYAN HARRIS Glenmore Chiropractic

Plantar Fasciitis is an overuse injury affecting the fibrous tissue that forms the arch. Heel spurs can form when the fascia tears at the heel attachment and results in pain in the center of the heel.

Achilles Tendonitis is irritation of the Achilles where the calf muscle meets the heel and can result in pain in the calf, the Achilles, or the back of the heel. The inflammation from overuse leads to pain as well as deposits of scar tissue, further inflaming the area each time the Achilles or plantar fascia are used.

HAND HELD MIST COOLING The WindchillerTM Personal Hand-Held Misting Fans are the most advanced Personal Hand-Held Misting Fans and Misters sold today.

They are much more than the hand-held spray bottles with fans from other manufacturers that are commonly sold today that deliver a very wet spray (not a real mist) behind the fan blade - so with every squeeze of the trigger you get large water droplets hitting you in the face. This is a far cry from what personal cooling should be like from a quality personal hand-held misting fan or mister.

The WindchillerTM Hand Held Personal Misting Fans use a pressurized tank to deliver a continuous ultra fine mist through a USA-made brass and stainless steel mist nozzle (not a cheap plastic spray nozzle). It delivers the ultra-fine mist in front of the child safe fan blade versus behind it.

This keeps the mist from spinning off the fan blade in large wet droplets giving you the best personal cooling experience available To activate the mist cooling of the WinchillerTM Hand Held Personal Misting Fans you only need pump the built in “EZ Pump” about 20 times then just push the mist button for as long as you want it to mist (lasts up to 1.5 hours of intermittent use between refills). You activate the built in High Velocity Personal Fan by sliding the on/off switch up to the on position. You can easily control both the mist button and fan switch with one hand, allowing you to use either one or both at any given time.

Initial schematic designs are expected to be ready in September or October, at which point they will receive additional feedback to create a final design.

That design is anticipated to be ready around February with a construction timeline of 12 to 14 weeks, which would have it open by next summer.

news _____________________________________________________________________ FEDERAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN

Where, oh where, has Green candidate gone?

Alistair Waters awaters@kelonwacapnews.com

Where’s the KelownaLake Country Green Party candidate?

Despite being nominated last month, Gary Adams has maintained a very low profile during the first weeks of the federal election campaign.

His name and picture do not even appear on the list of Green candidates running in B.C. on the party’s election website,despite winning the nomination last month.

While Adams did run for the nomination on a promise to step down and support Kelowna-Lake Country Liberal candidate Stephen Fuhr in a bid to unseat incumbent Conserative Ron Cannan, late last month party

Gary Adams

leader Elizabeth May asked him to hold off doing so while she spoke with the leaders of the federal Liberal Party and the NDP. While May has spoken with Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, it has been reported NDP leader Tom Mulcair has refused to take any call from May about the issue of

candidate co-operation.

While Adams, local Green Party riding association president Angela Nagy or a spokesperson for the Green Party at the national level could be contacted prior to the Kelowna Capital News press deadline Tuesday afternoon, Fuhr said as far as he knows the deal he made with the Adams is still on.

Considered cooperation rather than conomination, Fuhr said he has been too busy with his own campaign to focus on what the Green candidate is doing in the riding.

But it appears Adams is not alone in stepping aside to let another party’s candidate take on the Conservative incumbent.

A report out of

Peterborough, Ont., this week said the Green Party has refused to support a move by a candidate seeking the Green nomination there to endorse the NDP candidate running in the Peterborough-Kawartha riding, and if nominated next month planning to step aside to support that NDP candidate.

The Green candidate in that situation, Gary Beamish, has run for the Green Party provincially in Ontario before.

In a release issued by the party, it said it could not support Beamish’s intention to step down if nominated.

That is exactly what Adams did here, with the consent of a majority of Green party members who voted for him at the nomination meeting held in Kelowna-Lake Country

Opinion OUR VIEW

Be part of solution to prevent impaired driving While the temperatures are noticeably starting to cool, especially at night, there’s no question that summer is still in full swing.

The beaches are still packed and people are still enjoying a few cold ones at backyard barbecues and gatherings.

Unfortunately, summer holidays, sunshine and high temperatures can combine to concoct a deadly cocktail of people drinking and driving, despite years of seeing the negative consequences of such actions.

RCMP hold roadblocks and police the roads best they can, but we all need to do our part to end drunk driving.

Only a concerted effort will drive the message home that we need to put the brakes on drinking and driving for good.

If you know your circumstances may include a couple of drinks, take the time to arrange a ride home or ensure you have a designated driver.

It’s much easier to take the time and plan ahead, compared to what you will deal with if you drink and get behind the wheel.

It can save your life, the lives of those you love or the lives of innocent others. One bad decision can leave scars that never heal and a trail of shattered lives ruined by a booze-fueled lapse in judgment.

You can be part of the solution by letting the police know if you see someone who is drinking and driving.

While programs like drinking and driving CounterAttack and media coverage have resulted in a reduction in impaired driving offences, the sad reality is there are still people out there who just don’t get it.

So please, enjoy your summer and help spread the word that there are more than just the RCMP watching.

CAPITAL news AWARD-WINNING COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER

Is B.C. really burning? Not exactly On a recent drive through the B.C. Interior, I passed through McLure Victoria News and Barriere, communities north of Kamloops that were devastated by wildfire in 2003.

TOM While these communities have recovered, blackened tree trunks are still FLETCHER visible where fires burned for 75 days and forced the evacuation of 3,800 people. With the early start to this year’s fire season, the media attention and effects of an unusual spring drought, you might think that B.C. is on pace to match that terrible summer. You would be wrong.

As of last week, area burned and money spent by the B.C. Wildfire Service had only just exceeded the totals for mid-August during last summer’s fire season, which were high but not remarkable. The number of individual fires is higher this year, but that’s mostly a result of lightning storm patterns.

Spending has topped $200 million, as it did last year at this time before finishing just below $300 million. The 2003 total was above $400 million, and the 2009 season was slightly below that.

Forests Minister Steve Thomson cautions that there are still many weeks to go and hot, dry conditions are expected for much of that. Once the damage is done for the year, the ministry reviews the impact on forests and begins assessment of which areas should be replanted and which should be left to regenerate naturally.

Pine forests need fire to regenerate, and the strategy in recent years has been to allow fires to burn out naturally and contain them to protect people and property. Decades of fire suppression, based on viewing Crown forests strictly as a timber resource, helped create

conditions for the beetle epidemic that has left vast quantities of dead wood to fuel more fires. The 2003 fire season set the tone for political debate on forest fire policy that has continued since then. The opposition points to recommendations from former Manitoba premier Gary Filmon that removing fuel from around communities is the best protection.

This task has proven impossibly big, especially as rural community tax bases shrink, but the ideological dance continues in Victoria. The NDP campaigned in 2013 on a promise to double tree planting, and its general approach is to spend more money and hire more staff.

In her first fire scene appearance this summer, Premier Christy Clark warned that drought and huge fires may be “the new normal” for B.C. as climate warms and shifts. This is great positioning for the government’s plan to attend the latest global climate doom festival in Paris this fall, but it’s not borne out by recent forest fire results. In terms of dollars spent and area burned, the years 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 were all well below average. Last year and 2009 were substantially above average, but 2008 and 2013 were among the quietest years on record.

Is drought the “new normal” too? The B.C. government’s own climate change forecast is for increasing overall precipitation, albeit with more rain and less snow. Snowpacks for southern B.C. were indeed the lowest on record this past winter, but that record only goes back 31 years. And when were high snowfall records last broken? That would be 2011. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Smokers should pay premium for health care

NOW

To the editor: I think Mr. Mellis’s notion of a cigarette butt deposit is simply brilliant! It solves so many problems beyond fires cause by smokers.

I think we all witness people dropping or “flicking” cigarette butts out of vehicles at red lights. There are no innocent smokers.

They all feel the world is their ashtray.

I was thinking a ban on tobacco sales was in order during fire seasons but Mr. Mellis has a better solution. In fact I would take it a step further. The retail of tobacco should require the purchaser to have the bar code on their health card scanned. They would then pay a

There’s a bunch of BS in the biosolids business jeopardizes soils, worms and plants by the presence of various toxins—“Monitoring Bacteroides spp. markers, nutrients, metals and Escherichia coli in soil and leachate after land application of three types of municipal biosolids,” 2014; “Bioavailability of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in biosolidsamended soils to earthworms (Eisenia fetida)” 2014. “Dissipation of contaminants of emerging concern in biosolids applied to nonirrigated farmland in eastern Colorado,” 2014).

And so I ask, why would we believe this industry, directly involved in the business of getting rid of Vancouver’s toxic sewer sludge, over the specialist knowledge of countless scientists (at arm’s length from the sludge industry) who have repeatedly warned us of the dangers inherent in applying biosolids to land?

The water utilities do a great job of separating the dangerous chemicals out of the water so it can be returned to Mother Earth. Why would we ever think it a good idea to turn around and put those collected and concentrated toxins back into the environment we just took them out of? It is reckless and short-sighted. This is certainly not a ‘green’ solution, from a city that likes to believe it is following a sustainable path. There are alternatives to this insanity— see www.biosolidsbc.com Don Vincent, member, Friends of the Nicola Valley Society, Merritt For the full transcript of this letters see the Opinion section at www.kelownacapnews. com.

VANCOUVER’S EFFLUENT

To the editor: The sewer sludge industry has often tried to defend its practice of transferring sludge from the Lower Mainland to unsuspecting rural areas. Their officials usually trot out the industry marketing clichés one after another—so why don’t we take a closer look at the claims they make.

They like to say that sludge is a “non chemical” alternative for agriculture, but they know full well that biosolids contain thousands of chemicals (for a list of chemicals and toxins simply Google “Sludge contaminants”). Remember that this sludge is the concentrated end-product of the water cleaning process. They take out all the pollutants so the water can go back to mother earth. The sinister goulash of chemicals and toxins left behind is then marketed as “beneficial” because some of it (the feces) is organic.

They often state that sludge is treated to kill bacteria before it leaves the facilities. That is generally true but short on detail. What they fail to mention is that the “treatment” may kill most of the bacteria, but it in no way kills all the pathogens, antibacterial-resistant superbugs etc., and does not even address deadly prions—and these are very worrying !

They also tell us that the resultant product is “high in nutrients and organic matter” which is good for plant growth. Well no one questions that there is going to be some nitrogen and phosphorous in this fecal residue that the plants can use. What they omit to mention here is that along with these few good things comes a heavy burden of toxins which have not been removed. These, in the long run, are neither good for the soils or the plants (please see these three recent peer-reviewed articles on how biosolids

Mandatory smart meters not right To the editor: Fortis gives no choice re: smart meters.

Despite what the industry supporters say, these meters are dangerous in many regards.

Furthermore, your Charter of Rights and Freedoms is intended to prevent the overreach of a government or a government agency from forcing you to do something you believe to be dangerous or potentially so.

This government has allowed Hydro and is allowing Fortis to trample on these precious rights. Our health, safety, and security are at risk—but equally important our constitutional rights are threatened.

There have been many ITRON meters that have overheated, melted and caused fires. These are well documented yet the government and utility companies ignore the risk. They are putting our lives and our property at risk all to satisfy corporate greed.

There is no benefit or justification to it.

Have no fear meeting new people

The first building on the expansive Central Green site in Kelowna will be ready to welcome its first residents next month.

The Karis Support Society’s three storey, 24,000-square-foot building, at the southwest corner off Rowcliffe Avenue, is complete and will provide support and addiction recovery services for adult women dealing with mental health issues and substance abuse.

Deborah Klassen, the facility’s manager, said an open house will be held tomorrow to show off the new facility to its neighbours.

It replaces 12 individual houses scattered around the city that the Karis Support Society has been operating to provide the same services. The 12 houses will be sold off, said Klassen.

“We are one of only two buildings of their

kind in B.C., the other is in the Lower Mainland,” she said. “So we have referrals from across B.C. and even from back East.”

As a result, the facility will be full from day one.

The building is part of a large mixed-use development going onto the Central Green site, which at one time was home to Kelowna Senior Secondary School.

Sold off in parcels by the city, the land is slated to house residential developments of all kinds, including multi-family, social housing and a large park.

The Karis Support Society’s building was built by Davara Holdings, which bought one parcel which it is leasing to the society.

Klassen said while some neighbours in the Rowcliffe Avenue area admitted they were hesitant when they first heard the building was going in, now they are very accepting

and supportive. “The reception from the neighbourhood has been good,” said Klassen.

“Some have said they are very impressed with the building.”

Adult women, some with children, will be offered different levels of support and accommodation at the 36-bed facility, ranging from services for women straight off the street dealing with immediate issues, to after-care and self-contained living for other residents.

Women at the facility who have children can stay there until their children reach the age of two.

Klassen said Karis works with the Ministry of Children and Family Development, as well as Interior Health and other groups, to provide services for all its residents.

The public open house is from 1 to 5 p.m. on Thursday at 550 Rowcliffe Avenue in Kelowna.

Barbecue cookoff brings heavenly cuisine to Earth Justin Best, chef at BNA Brewing Company and Eatery, won last year’s event and was back to defend his title.

He enjoys the chance to meet the clientele, and to see his peers at work.

Kelowna’s food scene, he said, has changed a lot since he arrived four years ago, and the event is reflective of that.

“I’m partial to craft beer, and it’s nice that there are more restaurants popping up everywhere catering to that,” he said, explaining that it makes higher end cuisine more accessible.

The event also raises funds for the Okanagan Astronomy Club, which works to bring the heavens into the everyday lives of Kelowna residents.

Classic backyard barbecue dishes with a haute cuisine twist were served up Saturday to hungry patrons of the third annual KTown Showdown.

The event, which was held in the yard of the curling club for its most recent incarnation, saw six local chefs pitted against one another, in a pork cook-off decided by a panel of judges, explained organizer chef Stuart Klassen.

The winner takes home a new barbecue, but what some participants have come to appreciate the most is the opportunity to work their skills and meet customers they don’t often see.

(From left) Arman Dillon, Simren Dillon and Sahib Toor from Kelowna take a spin on one of the PNE’s most extreme pendulum rides, called The Beast. This latest and most thrilling ride at Playland is lifting its riders up 125 feet in the air at speeds over 90 km/h. The annual summer exhibition in Vancouver started last weekend and will continue until Sept. 7.

College conference focus on connected classrooms Technology and connectivity in the classroom are remarkably changing methods of teaching and learning, leading education institutions to adapt to new models in order to stay ahead of the curve.

On Sept. 25 and 26, Okanagan College will host a new conference titled Tiltshift—an acronym for “technology in learning and teaching”—that will explore technology tools and innovative ideas to help the education community acclimate to new teaching platforms.

“From Skype to web-based software, video production and iPads, understanding how students use technology and how to maximize this knowledge to benefit their learning is imperative for the advancement of education and career preparation,” said Beverlie Dietze, director of learning and teaching at Okanagan College.

“Our aim with the conference is to broaden the perspective on where educational technology is heading.”

The conference will provide alternative perspectives for education, and the practical uses of technology in classrooms and course curriculum design. The interactive and demonstrative sessions will explore online learning, new tools and resources available, and technology leadership.

Leaders and innovators from the Okanagan’s thriving technology, business, and education community, and the general public, are invited to join in this exciting dialogue by registering to attend the Tiltshift Education Technology conference. Online registration is open at www.okanagan.bc.ca/tiltshift. A $50 conference fee applies.

Held at the college’s Kelowna campus on KLO Road, Tiltshift will kick-off the evening of Sept. 25 with a keynote address by Mount Royal University associate professor Norm Vaughan.

A published author, he has expertise in blended learning solutions (the combination of online and in-class courses) and faculty development.

The conference will continue with a full day of breakout sessions and presentations on Saturday Sept. 26.

The day also includes a second keynote address by Penticton speaker and author Nikos Theodosakis, who is the founder of the OliveUs Education Society and the architect of the Instill Life: Preserving Your Culture programs.

He is an advocate for shaping education experiences that are personal, relevant and meaningful.

“We’ve seen technology provide tremendous benefits to our students, resulting in accessible education that circumvents barriers to learning, including time, geography and finances,” said Laura Eagen, director of IT services at Okanagan College.

Eagen points to the example of an open online Applied Sustainability course the college previously offered.

Technology made the online course possible; more than 100 students from communities across the province, country, and abroad participated, including individuals in remote regions who would have faced a geographical and time barriers otherwise to attend.

The six-week course also highlighted how technology inspired shifted views on assessment. Using a gamification model, students strived to achieve different levels to advance to new content much like what you would experience in a video game.

“The speed at which technology is advancing may mean some educators don’t necessarily know which resources are now available to them, or the effective uses for them,” said Eagen.

“We wanted to offer a forum to allow experts in the community, and educators, to engage in conversations about how to advance the learning environments we provide, ultimately benefiting students, and the future workforce.”

Seniors __________________________________________________________________ THE AGING JOURNEY

Boost your resilience: Stay strong and carry on As I watch many of my older clients confront challenging aspects of the aging journey, I’m aware of the emotional angst that this sometimes engulfs them and often extends to family members who love them.

As with all of us, change is not easy and can feel overwhelming.

Emotions are triggered and a sense of control over life seems lost.

Our routines, although some days dull, seem to keep a frame around the picture of our lives and there is comfort in them.

What is often present, however, amidst the turmoil that is playing

Seniors’ Concerns Marjorie Horne out—whether it be a change of residence, a necessary adaptation that may come with an unexpected health challenge or an increasing loss of memory of what used to be familiar and easily discerned—is often the presence of an inner strength, a resolve to find some footing, some little piece of solid ground to stand on.

Dr. Eva Selhub, a

resilience expert and clinical instructor at Harvard Medical School, says, “Resilience is about the deep knowing that one has the resources to handle the uncertainties that come with life.”

Selhub says that some people are naturally more resilient that others, better able to handle the pressures of the 21st century.

But resilience is also something that can be learned.

“The have-it-all generation of boomers

Look for our flyer in the Kelowna Capital News starting next Wednesday, September 2nd

may have it all wrong,“ says Selhub.

“This idea that you have to have everything is almost impossible to attain—and it is going to make you feel that whatever you do, it is not going to be enough.”

Each generation can learn things from the one that has come before.

As a child, I watched my own parents approach hardship with a quiet strength of character.

That perhaps came from their generation’s experience with war, with trying to find enough money to feed a large family day to day, from dealing with the many losses of people they loved who gave up their own freedom for a higher sacrifice of the common good.

I remember how it was a very exciting day in the house when my dad would announce that we would all be going over to the Shady Rest restaurant here in Kelowna for fish and chips.

They had the old style trays for car service back then that stretched across from window to window in the car.

All four girls thought this was the best thing since sliced bread and felt

as grateful as my dad felt proud to offer us such a treat.

For the most part, our generation has not had to go off to war or struggle in the same way as our parents did to get ahead.

I wonder if we will have the same resilience as we age that I see in them, adjusting to the changing winds of eldering, meeting the new challenges that come their way with this quiet fortitude that I witness day after day in my line of work caring for older seniors.

Sometimes their sense of loss presents with anger and frustration.

But I choose to feel the strength underneath it and remember what they have faced over their lifetimes where they chose to be strong every day.

It built their capacity for resilience, which is not about making your situation better, it’s about being strong enough to handle the negative things.

As for we boomers, do we have the commitment to shore up physical, mental and emotional resilience to handle the challenges that may come our way through this third

stage of life?

Particularly as women, we have had the pressure over our early and middle years to maintain a career, a family, an active social life and give our kids every possible opportunity to be the best they can be or we are not measuring up.

One of the first tenets of resilience is to take care of yourself first. Trying to be supermoms usually did not permit a lot of time to practice this.

As time becomes more abundant with the shifting priorities of our own elderhood, emotionally conquering the inner pangs of guilt to now start doing this requires come conscious awareness to allow it, strange as that may seem.

Patricia Gorman, author of The Resilient Woman: Mastering the 7 Steps to Personal Power, calls this dialogue “girly thoughts,” or genderbased societal messages that dictate how women should look and act.

The second tenet of resilience is to change your outlook, change the outcome.

Most of the women I meet who are transitioning away from their working careers

express their desire to find a new way to enter this next stage of their lives.

I hear the same reflections over and over.

Seeking a more expansive state of well-being requires embracing that everyone wins when we take the time to listen to our own needs.

Greater positivity and physical well-being is the result of doing things that make you happy, which gives the immune system a tremendous boost as well.

Laughing more and sharing in the humour of the inevitable struggle with multi-tasking that used to come to us so easily brings a comforting connection between boomer aging companions whose “superwoman focus” now involves remembering where you left your keys or where you parked your car at the mall.

This change in mental action is the best buffer against stress and is affected by who you choose to hand out with.

The third tenet of resilience is to hang with a happy crowd for resilience is something you can learn from other people.

It is something we can learn from the “silent generation,” who really mastered the art of resilience.

Just be quiet and listen and watch them.

I guarantee you will feel and see it there.

Just know that sometimes the anger and frustration that presents is really fear.

Simply focus on compassion, honour their resilience and watch how things change.

The ABCs of managing bedtime effectively.

Ready for the new school year?

Are you the parent of a school-age child who is a master in the art of evading bedtime? Of course, you’ve had to revise your outdated strategies any number of times. After all, you don’t want to trigger World War III in your beloved little schemer’s room every evening. But don’t despair. The following tips and tricks are sure to prove very useful in times of bedtime-routine crisis.

Being mentally prepared and well organized will give you the power to save the day. First of all, set up a routine that’s both reassuring and soothing for your child. For that to work you need to create a calm atmosphere with soft lighting and always talk in hushed tones. All this will help promote sleep. Tell your children that it will soon be time to go to bed. That way, they’ll accept the idea more easily and the risk of a crisis goes down — not only in frequency but also in terms of intensity, which you have to agree is a big advantage.

Choose to spend some quality time with your children before bedtime. Above all, they should never be allowed to watch television, even on mute. The aim is to have some enjoyable time together. For many children, reading is the best way to relax and eventually fall asleep. So that’s it! With a bit of practice and lots of patience, you’ll soon earn your PhD in effective bedtime management — with honours, needless to say.

The start of a new school year usually means shopping for school supplies and new clothes. But perhaps this time of year should also involve visits to your healthcare specialists to make sure that nothing will hinder your children’s academic success.The dentist Plan a visit to the dentist to confirm (keep your fingers crossed!) the absence of cavities and to ensure that your children’s teeth are positioned correctly. In some cases, orthodontic treatment might be required. It’s also essential that your children understand the importance of having good oral hygiene. The optometrist For most people, over 80 per cent of learning is done visually. In fact, several vision problems may be detected when children are being taught to read and write. Consequently, it’s vital to have your children’s eyes checked on a regular basis.

Back to School Did you know that it’s approximately 35% of food bank clients are under the age of 15; according to CATCH, it’s estimated that 1 in 7 students in the Central Okanagan attends school hungry.

Hungry children face many physical and developmental challenges that can follow them thought life. Healthy children learn better, are stronger, more productive and have a better chance of breaking cycles of poverty and realizing their full potential. This is why the Central Okanagan Community Food Bank’s Nutrition Improvement Programs are so critical. Our aim is to have no hungry children. “The Food Bank has helped a lot,” says Sandra, a local mom. “There were times when I thought I’d have to keep Sam home, because I didn’t have anything to give him for lunch at school, and I could make stuff at home. But thanks to the Food Bank I now have good choices to send with him. The extra milk has been amazing. Oh my gosh, we go through so much milk. And all the extra fresh veggies and fruit have been so great.” School aged children receive age appropriate Kids Snack Packs with their monthly hamper. This provides ready to eat, healthy, nutritious snacks to take to pre-school, day care or school.

These snack packs include fresh fruit, fresh produce, yogurt, cheese, juice boxes and healthy granola bars. Our snack pack program improves health and learning outcomes for nearly 900 at-risk kids each month. In addition to our Nutrition Improvement Program, the Central Okanagan Community Food Bank has partnered with Food for Thought, a breakfast program serving the majority of secondary and

elementary schools in School District 23 – close to 3000 students every morning. Volunteers and teachers help serve bagels with cream cheese, fruit, yogurt, cheese, milk, and juice.

The Central Okanagan Community Food Bank supplies Food for Thought with these and other breakfast items to help kids get a good start on the day.

Patty Lou Bryant, Executive Director of Food for Thought says “over the years it has been wonderful to see kids to change and blossom. It’s also wonderful to see the relationship grow between the volunteers and the students. The volunteers have become mentors and encouragers to the kids. I have such gratitude for our volunteers and supporters because I know what a difference having these items can make for a child.” Principle Scott Seiben adds that “research has shown us that students who are well nourished have improved memory and self-esteem. They perform better in school and have greater academic success. We are very fortunate to have partners like Food for thought and the Central Okanagan Community Food Bank.

CENTRAL OKANAGAN

Design Life: Finding the chic for a nursery Expecting clients ask all the time for my take on what chic nursery life looks like.

What colours and themes will last long past the baby stages and into little person living?

I’m not big into Disney or the ‘classic cult nursery.’

Instead, I love a more modern approach, something fun, something unexpected, a little bit grown up, and a little bit baby.

GRAPHICS Alphabet letters on a wall, framed in gallery-style collections, embossed on a rocking chair pillow, or simply as oversized book ends—every nursery needs some graphic font or writing.

It’s minimalist, eye catching, and educational all in one.

PLUSH A nursery should be a cozy little retreat for you and baby; adding soft and plushy textures to the space is a must. Sheepskin, mohair, brushed cotton, and corded velvet are all gorgeous finishes you can use in smaller doses in the forms of area rugs, accent pillows, draperies or roman shades, ottomans, and throws.

Most of baby’s finishes need to be durable and washable, but a few hits of luxury will turn any nursery into a treasured gem.

COLOUR Forget blue for boys and pink for girls—colour knows no gender these days when it comes time for setting up your little one’s abode.

Lime greens and teal blues look airy and amazing in off

‘‘

Forget blue for boys and pink for girls—colour knows no gender these days….

’’

Crispin Butterfield

white or linen-toned spaces, and if you’re looking for something even more inspiring, watery shades of robin’s egg blue and tangerine are popping up everywhere on nursery-themed blogs and postings.

But maybe you’re wanting something more subdued with just a smattering instead of all-out colour?

Consider a pale shade of silvery gray mixed with a demi-tone lemon yellow or coral. The results are calming, soothing, and slightly edgy.

LIGHTING You and baby will be in the nursery throughout different times of the day (and let’s not forget night), so having a mix of bright, clear, soft and dreamy lighting is essential.

I always suggest a corner floor lamp with either a paper or linen shade to help diffuse the light at night.

And a few small scale desk/ table lamps near the change station or on a neighboring bookcase help to add light when it’s needed.

Basic central light fixtures with fluorescent bulbs are too jarring. Instead, opt for something more decorative (and appealing) with lower wattage.

SIDE CHAIRS It used to be you could only find a wooden (or sparsely semi-upholstered) rocking chair for a nursery, which made for numb behinds and bopped little foreheads once baby started crawling.

But now, the array of stylish and oh-so-comfortable side chairs that rock, swivel, and allow you to curl up with ease is amazing.

I recommend sticking to a soft neutral fabric in a linen, wheat, or soft gray that can easily fit with whatever colour scheme you go with.

Pair it with an oversize ottoman and you may find it hard to leave the room.

ACCENT WALL I know they can seem overdone at times, but a really witty accent wall eliminates the need for other visual clutter and knick knacks.

Think of tone on tone and do a wide stripe in alternating paint finishes (semi-gloss and eggshell), or tape off a chevron pattern and opt for something a bit more eye popping. Just like an area rug helps to pull a room together, a clever accent wall gives your little one’s space personality and charm.

Some design ideas for how to outfit a nursery at home.

homegardening

Of Prime Interest: Home improvement options The Improvement Program provides home buyers and home owners with the opportunity to make improvements to their home by borrowing against the improved value of the property.

The improved value is the market value of the property after completion of the improvements. Many lenders offer attractive refinancing for renovations while mortgage rates are not affected by this program.

In the case of your existing home, the property would be appraised first.

Then the appraiser will then take into consideration the renovations, costs associated and provide a new value for your renovated home.

The new mortgage financing will be based on this new improved home value.

Keep in mind the rules in the case of refinancing your mortgage do not allow for the mortgage amount to exceed 80 per cent of the improved value.

If you have an existing mortgage, it will be paid out from the “as is” value and the additional funds required for the renovations will be advanced to you when the work is completed.

As mortgage rates continue at an all time low, in addition to updating your home chances are you will also secure a new lower mortgage rate and possibly even a lower monthly mortgage payment.

Alternatively, in your search to purchase a new home you may be coming up short— the house is the perfect size and location but may need an update such as new flooring or perhaps a new kitchen or bathroom.

The purchase plus renovation program is available with as little as five per cent down on the improved value.

Negotiate your best price on the home purchase and at the same time decide what you would like to do in terms of renovations or improvements.

At that point, you will be required to obtain quotes for the work you would like to have done.

The quotes are added to the purchase price and the mortgage financing is based on the total cost of renovations plus the price of the home.

In both cases—renovating your existing home or a new purchase—you will have to pay for the renovations or negotiate with the contractor as the balance of the funds will not be released to you until the renovation is complete.

For example, based on a purchase price or existing value of your home of $400,000 and a renovation cost of $40,000, the improved value of the property will be $440,000, which will be the amount the financing is based on.

In the case of a purchase, you would be required to put a minimum of five per cent of the improved value as down payment.

Canada’s economic recession talk continues

By Sherry Cooper The divergence between the Canadian and U.S. economies continues as the July employment data reveal Canadian weakness and U.S. strength.

The Canadian economy added 6,600 jobs last month as services-related sectors continued to offset job losses in manufacturing and natural resources.

The gains reflected more self-employed and part-time work, with the number of full-time jobs falling 17,300. The unemployment rate was unchanged at 6.8 per cent.

Professional services is a pocket of strength for Canada, but weakness in manufacturing employment has been puzzling to policymakers given the fall in the Canadian dollar, which should make manufactured products more competitive.

Factories shed 4,600 workers in July in a sector that has had no net new employment growth in the past 12 months.

Manufacturing export strength was supposed to offset the job losses in the oil patch, but to date, there has been little evidence of this hope.

The trade figures, released earlier this month, did show some manufacturing export improvement, but not in autos and auto parts, by far the most important sector for Ontario.

The annual retooling shutdown in the auto sector reduced auto production to a four-year low.

The service sector has also been weaker than expected, with the exception of professional

services which showed job gain in July.

The debate over whether Canada is in a fullfledged recession will continue. Certainly, the economy contracted in the first half of this year, but consumer spending and housing are still robust, which will likely continue until interest rates start rising.

Growth this year will be no more than 1.2 per cent, so rate hikes by the Bank of Canada are off the table and additional rate cuts cannot be ruled out.

In direct contrast, U.S. employers added 215,000 jobs in July on the heels of an upward revision in June employment and the unemployment rate held steady at a seven-year low of 5.3 per cent—very close to the five to 5.2 per cent level that the Federal Reserve considers to be fullemployment.

The Fed is clearly on a path toward raising interest rates as soon as next month. Most economists predict that the Fed will hike the overnight rate by 25 basis points on Sept. 17, their first rate hike since 2006.

Trend growth in the U.S. is solid and continues to chip away at the slack in the labour force.

The economy is likely to grow at a 2.4 per cent pace this year, depressed by the temporary slowdown in the first quarter.

Reflecting this tale of two central banks, the U.S. dollar strengthened as the Canadian dollar fell immediately following the release of these data.

KELOWNA CONFERENCE

Benefits of rail trails explored There will be a public meeting workshop about developing a tourism strategy for the Thompson Okanagan Regional Rail Trail on Wednesday, Sept, 2 from 3 to 5 p.m.

The conference will take place at the Ramada Hotel and Conference Centre, 2170 Harvey Ave. It is one of several such workshops being held across the Southern Interior, sponsored by the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA) in association with Destination BC, Recreation Sites and Trails BC, Trails BC, Trans Canada Trail Society, British Columbia Cycling Coalition and Cyclo Touring BC Program.

This strategy, scheduled to be completed by October, will assist the regional rail trail network in creating an internationally export-ready tourism product and will further advance the goals presented in the 10-year regional tourism strategy.

The centerpiece of this trails strategy will be the Kettle Valley/Columbia and Western Railway rail trails routes that form the basis of the Trans Canada Trail (TCT) through the Thompson Okanagan region.

Liane Weber is the CEO and founder of The LifeLine Canada Foundation (TLC).

In 2012, after being affected by two suicides, Weber created the free Canadian Suicide Prevention App devoted to aid in

suicide prevention across Canada.

The LifeLine is a one place location to access and connect with credible Canadian resources for instant guidance, support and awareness.

The app was developed through grief and dedication with helping others who have been affected by suicide in one way or another.

From inception, The LifeLine app and The LifeLine Canada (TLC) developments have been

funded personally.

The LifeLine is available for download on both iTunes and Google Play App Stores and has four main goals: • to connect someone in crisis with the support and guidance they need 24/7 • to aid in suicide prevention • to build suicide awareness and • to help guide loved ones left behind after a suicide.

The LifeLine Canada

Foundation (TLC) is a new non-profit foundation dedicated to suicide prevention and mental health-based initiatives which includes The LifeLine app launched in 2013, the new Pets for Veterans pilot project in 2015, Benefit for Life’s annual event, the annual World Suicide Prevention Day online awareness campaign and other future initiatives.

The Benefit for Life is a premier event that works to end the stigma of

suicide and mental health while bringing awareness to The LifeLine and its Canadian resources, as well as showcasing new initiatives. Benefit for Life will be held annually on Sept. 9, followed by World Suicide Prevention Day awareness campaign and online fundraiser.

Admission to the full evening of events is $150.

Species at risk exhibit fosters panel debate Presented by the Royal BC Museum and hosted by Kelowna Museums, Species at Risk is a new traveling exhibition that looks at why certain species in British Columbia are in danger, what their loss could mean and how you can help.

The Nature of Museums is a special panel discussion exploring the role of museums in initiating and facilitating community dialogue around environmental stewardship. It uses the Species at Risk exhibit as inspiration for an exciting and compelling dialogue event.

The exhibition panel discussion takes place Thursday, 7 to 9 p.m., at the Okanagan Heritage Museum.

Sitting on the panel will be: • Chris Walker, panel facilitator—host of Daybreak South at CBC • Alison Campbell Urness—environmental educator/ park interpreter for the Regional District of the Central Okanagan • Dr. Karen Hodges—associate professor of conservation biology at UBC Okanagan • Chris O’Connor—family and schools program producer for Royal BC Museum.

Species at Risk will be on display for the week of Aug. 24 to 28. The Okanagan Heritage Museum is located at 470 Queensway Ave.

Vote for Stuart Park The Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP) is hosting its annual competition to recognize Canada’s truly special places, and Stuart Park is in the running to win.

“Stuart Park was just nominated on Friday so our nomination came later than some other spaces,” said Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran. “But what we have with Stuart Park is truly unique and we’re asking residents to vote and show their pride for our city.”

Local residents are

encouraged to vote for Stuart Park in the Public Space category. There are 11 other public spaces in the running, including Grizzly Plaza in Revelstoke B.C. and Historic Downtown Amherstburg in Ontario.

“With the recent expansion of Stuart Park, it is truly a jewel on our downtown waterfront,” Basran proclaimed.

The contest runs until Sept. 24, and you can vote for Stuart Park at the website bestplaceincanada.ca.

Sports WHL HOCKEY

Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

When the puck drops on the major junior hockey season on Friday, Sept. 25 at Prospera Place, it will mark a milestone for the Kelowna Rockets.

The franchise, which was born in 1991 in Tacoma, Wash., will celebrate its 25th anniversary campaign in the Western Hockey League.

The Rockets, who moved to Kelowna for the 1995-96 season, have enjoyed a level of success that few other junior hockey organizations can match.

The Rockets have won four Western Hockey League titles and played in five Memorial Cups, including winning the CHL championship in 2004.

In addition, the club has helped produce dozens of high profile NHL players over the years, including the likes of Shea Weber, Duncan Keith, Josh Gorges and Jamie Benn.

Club president and GM Bruce Hamilton is proud of the Rockets’ past and is excited about what the

future holds.

“If anything we’re proud we’ve been able to survive and I think we’ve set a standard a lot of people try to emulate,” said Hamilton. “To me, it’s important we don’t lose focus on what we do real well, and continue to be successful so this franchise continues to flourish.”

To mark the occasion, the Rockets Monday unveiled two of their new jerseys for the 201516 season, a retro look dating back to the team’s first days in Tacoma.

The jerseys feature the original red, white, teal and black combinations as well as the team 25th anniversary logo and WHL logo.

“We’re one of the few teams that’s stayed with original colours and I’m a traditional person when it comes to our team uniform,” said Hamilton.

“When you look at the murals on the walls and see those old jerseys, they’re still pretty special to me.

“I think they look good, the white is nice and clean, the black makes us look big. These are a retro jersey we’ll wear for this season.”

Rockets set to launch 25th season

Kelowna Rockets’ defencemen Riley Stadel (left) and Joe Gatenby model the team’s special commemorative 25th anniversary jerseys.

Defencemen Joe Gatenby and Riley Stadel modelled the new uniforms at a media conference on Monday and both like what they

see.

“I like it a lot, I like the history of it, we’re in a very historical organization,” said Gatenby. “I’m really

excited to get this year rolling, it’s a really big one with the anniversary.”

Stadel heartily agrees.

“I really like them, I’ve always been a huge fan

of the colours we wear here,” Stadel said. “Every player that has played here is proud to throw on this jersey, it’s cool that guys 25 years ago were wearing this same logo, I’m glad we’re going back to it and I’m pour to be throwing on this jersey this year.”

The Rockets will also retain their familiar red jersey the team has been wearing for the last several seasons.

As for the team’s ultimate ambitions and how best to celebrate its 25th anniversary under new head coach Brad Ralph, it’s no surprise what Bruce Hamilton would like to see.

“A Memorial Cup would be something special, very few teams have had the opportunity we’ve had, we’ve been there five times,” said Hamilton. “It’d be great to win it again, but as you witnessed firsthand it is a battle to get there and once you’re there you just gotta hope all your horses are running in the same race.”

The Rockets will open the regular season on Sept. 25 at home to the Kamloops Blazers.

Kyle Marino

BCHL HOCKEY

Warriors name Marino captain The West Kelowna Warriors have named Kyle Marino as their captain for the 2015-16 B.C. Hockey League season.

Marino had three goals and 15 assists in his rookie season with the Warriors, which saw him move to a forward role after playing most of the first half on defence.

The 20-year-old Niagara Falls native already knows his leadership plan.

“It’s a big honour being named captain for this year,” Marino said.

Rookies kickstart Rockets’ 2015 camp Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Lorne Frey and his scouting staff are witnessing the fruits of their labours this week with the 2015 edition of Kelowna Rockets’ rookie camp.

Close to 100 of the Western Hockey League team’s young prospects— the majority born in 2000—are auditioning their talents over four days of scrimmages at Prospera Place.

All of the club’s choices from this spring’s

bantam draft, including top pick Nolan Foote from Colorado and Victoria’s Ted Brennan are attending camp.

Foote was selected in the second round, 43rd overall, making it the first time in team history the club hasn’t had a first-

round choice.

Kelowna dealt away the pick to acquire forward Leon Draisaitl.

Still, Frey is optimistic about his newest crop of rookies.

“We drafted 12 kids in the (born) 2000 draft, you know trying to eliminate

our room for error a little bit,” said Frey, the Rockets director of player personnel and assistant GM. “Certainly not all of them are going to play for us…we took gambles late in the draft on some size and certainly they have

improving to do, but we’ll see how they’ve come along in the last four or five months.

“We’ll give our drafts every opportunity to show what they can do, that’s for sure.”

As has often been the case in the past, Frey said

Hood aren’t planning to reinvent the wheel.

Other than the possibility of making a few tweaks, the new management team for the Pushor Mitchell Apple Triathlon is primarily focused on upholding the quality of what has evolved into a high-profile summer tradition in Kelowna.

“We want the legacy to continue and we want it to be a great event,” Young said of the Apple’s future. “It all comes down to quality and if you have that, people will be attracted to it, both the athletes and spectators.

“We want to keep improving the race, keep the quality up and making sure it’s here for another 33 years or longer.”

Young, Elmore and Hood, who also manage the Kelowna Cherry Blossom Triathlon, are taking over the reins from Richard Montgomery, who has decided to step aside after 15 years as president of the Apple Triathlon Society.

The new co-directors of the Apple have seen triathlons from virtually every perspective— as coaches, highlevel competitors and organizers.

Elmore and Hood, who are married, both have international experience in athletics, having competed for Canada on the track at the Olympic Games.

Elmore also became a pro triathlete this year.

In short, all three are immersed in the world of triathlon and hope to use those experiences to further stimulate the growth and popularity of the event. “(Triathlon) is for us our lifestyle, our social network, it’s what we love to do,” said Elmore, who ran in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. “It feels like just kind of a natural fit for us to approach triathlon as an athlete, coach and organizer.

We’re all super excited.

“All three of us have different skills sets, but we work well collaboratively, so it’s really nice because they’re such big shoes to fill and and such a big event that I think it will make it easier for us to bring some pieces together.”

From Richard Montgomery’s perspective, it was time to devote more time to his personal life while making

Montgomery, along with competition manager Randy Sparrow, helped build the race up from a small grassroots event of 300 competitors in the early 2000s to a major national competition, with as many as 1,800 athletes competing.

Montgomery will leave behind more than a few good memories.

“I had so many positive experiences, saw so many happy faces, just all the people have come to the race and gone away with smiles on their faces,”

Montgomery said. “I’m sure I’ll get more time to reflect over the next few weeks, but it was time to step down and let new people with new ideas take it and run with it.

“It’ll all be good.”

Young said he, Elmore and Hood will look to carry on the work done and progress made by Montgomery, Sparrow and their volunteer core.

And if any changes are on the horizon, Young said they won’t be taken lightly.

“One thing we don’t want to do is change everything for the sake of it, Richard and Randy

have put on an amazing race so they’ve done a lot of things right,” said Young.

“We’re not going to take any change lightly because it is a successful event, it’s going to be a case of sitting down with everyone, including the guys running it this year, and they say they’re happy to help us next year.

“We want to make sure it’s a race for the athletes and one that spectators want to go to.”

Smoky air can’t stop Lesser at Apple Warren Henderson A smoke-filled sky for the 33rd edition wasn’t enough to prevent Carlos Lesser from winning his first Pushor Mitchell Apple Triathlon title.

The 24-year Mexicanborn athlete, who lives in Victoria, completed the Olympic (standard) distance event Sunday morning in Kelowna in at time of one hour 58 minutes nine seconds— the only subpar twohour clocking of the competition.

A student at Camosun College in Victoria, Lesser’s first triathlon in Canada was the Apple back in 2010 when he finished second in the junior elite division.

“The community is great, I love this race,” said Lesser. “It was actually my first race in Canada when I was a junior, so it’s always nice to come back.

“This was definitely one of my best races.”

Lesser said he felt no adverse effects from the smoky conditions which blanketed the city due to a massive forest fire burning in Washington.

“It was a bit smoky, but

it was cooler and no sun, so that actually allowed me to go a little faster,” he said.

Vancouver’s Carsten Lapointe was second in 2:01:01, while Calgary’s Douglas Wickware was third in 2:01:18.

Thalheimer golden at WC Summer Games up with Victoria’s Aaron Diemer and went undefeated in six matches in the doubles event.

He then helped Team B.C. defeat Team Alberta to capture top spot in the team competition.

Thalheimer is headed to Mont Tremblant, Que., this week for the U14 national junior outdoor championships.

For the third year in a row, Sarah McArthur showed the way in the women’s race.

The 24-year-old from Calgary completed the 1.5 km swim, 40 km bike ride and 10 km run in 2:07:01.

Kelowna’s own Carmelle Guidi-Swan was second among women competitors and first in the 40 to 44 age bracket in 2:19:02.

“Overall it was a good day, I was cramping a bit on the run but I was holding a pretty good pace for me,” said GuidiSwan, 44. “I’m happy… it’s always good to be done.”

Like Lesser, the smoky air didn’t bother Guidi Swan but wouldn’t have been surprised if had an effect on others.

Montgomery’s position will be filled by a management group including local triathlete James Young, and former Olympcian and spouses, Graham Hood and Malindi Elmore. (See story on A26.)

Even at 5-0 halfway through the BCFC season, Shane Beatty says his team needs to be better.

Despite a 66-3 dismantling of the Valley Huskers Saturday night at the Apple Bowl, the Okanagan Sun head coach would have preferred a smarter, crisper and more disciplined effort from his team.

Particularly disappointing for the third year field boss was both the number and nature of penalties the Sun took— 11 for 95 yards—plus a

number of others which were declined.

“We just took too many penalties,” Beatty said. “We didn’t play smart football.”

Even with more than 600 yards in offence against the Huskers, Beatty said the Sun wasn’t overly sharp, throwing an interception and losing a pair of fumbles.

“We just didn’t execute the way we need to,” he said. “We have to clean that up.”

Still, there were plenty of positives from Beatty’s perspective, including the play of quarterback Josiah Joseph, veteran defensive back Brennan

KEEP YOUR DISTANCE

Ripening fruit in orchards will attract hungry bears It’s not unusual for visitors to many of our Central Okanagan Regional Parks to come across animals in their natural home.

And while photos at a safe distance are encouraged, confrontations are not.

With ripening fruit in valley orchards and Okanagan kokanee salmon spawning expected, more bears will be frequenting regional parks, especially those with corridor connections to the higher elevations.

Evidence that bears are around is already occurring along the Mission Creek Greenway, in Woodhaven Nature Conservancy, Scenic Canyon and Rose Valley regional parks.

Each year, evidence of their presence is also often found in other more natural regional parks like Mission Creek, Hardy Falls, Bertram Creek, Glen Canyon, Johns Family Nature Conservancy, Kalamoir and Mill Creek.

“This time of year, our field staff and visitors start seeing more signs that bears are around.

As sightings increase, we post signs advising that the animals may be active in the area,” said RDCO communications officer Bruce Smith.

To reduce your chance of an encounter, Smith says to travel in a group if possible, make noise or carry something that makes noise.

“Make your presence known. During the fall

fish spawning season in local creeks and rivers visitors may encounter bears bulking up on this food source.

“Bears fishing for food may not hear you over the noise of the creek water.

“If you see a bear, give it plenty of space and stay well away from it.”

People should respect all bears, anticipate and avoid encounters with them whenever possible.

Bears can be aggressive, especially when defending their food or their cubs.

They also have excellent senses of smell and hearing, and better sight than you might believe.

Dog owners are reminded unless

RELIEVE MUSCLE TENSION

Get up from your work desk and move to retain mobility With the increased prevalence of Keeping You technology in the Moving work place, many jobs are becoming desk or AMANDA computer oriented.

PIOTROFSKI People are spending hours in a ‘static’ unmoving position, with little to no variation in this posture.

For our bodies, this translates to immobility of the joints, and a constant tension on the muscles supporting those joints.

Often this tension is held while the muscle is over-lengthened, meaning it has to work harder for the same result.

What does this mean for us?

Decreased mobility of the joints affects the body’s ability for full movement, such as turning your head, and can cause a feeling of stiffness.

Having constant tension on the muscles as they work to sustain your posture can develop areas of aggravation or knots.

These knots can become painful, and that irritation may travel, resulting in often debilitating symptoms such as headaches.

While we can’t change the overall nature of our jobs, there are small adjustments that can be made to help counteract the hours of static posture.

One such change is to keep computer monitors at eye level where possible, and adjust your seat height so your feet are flat on the floor.

This will result in a more upright posture, decreasing strain on the muscles and joints of the neck and back.

The next adjustment is perhaps one of the biggest: Take frequent breaks.

Make those breaks as productive as you need, whether it is printing that

report one printer farther away, spending five to 10 minutes outside moving at lunch, or walking down the hall to talk to a coworker instead of emailing.

Small breaks with dynamic, or moving postures, will help bring mobility back to the joints and stretch the muscles.

Lastly, it is important to increase your activity levels outside the workplace.

Whether you choose to start a yoga class, take a daily walk, or train for a triathlon, these are dynamic activities that will help counteract the hours at work spent in one position.

Just as with taking frequent breaks, these activities will help stretch your muscles and keep mobility at the joints, but they will also build strength.

The stronger your muscles and joints are, the easier it becomes for your body to recover from hours in a static posture.

If you’re experiencing chronic discomfort at work and/or are developing symptoms such as headaches, massage can provide relief.

Make an appointment with your registered massage therapist for an assessment and treatment.

Your massage therapist will be able to help determine the sources of your discomfort, and can also provide you with a home care plan based on your particular health history and symptoms.

otherwise designated their pets must be leashed and kept on trails at all times.

It’s not only the law, but will help avoid any potentially serious wildlife encounter.

Smith adds that local residents also have a role to play in preventing animal confrontations on their property by keeping any garbage securely stored and wheeling their garbage cart out only on the morning of their regular curbside collection.

“That helps to reduce the potential temptation for bears or other wildlife,” Smith said.

For its third consecutive year, The Kelowna Wine Country Half Marathon will showcase the Okanagan Valley to thousands of runners.

This half marathon isn’t your typical 21.1 kilometre race. It’s much more of a granular experience, as it invites participants to truly dive deeply into the local scene.

Destination Races produces eight events around the US and Canada, and rates Kelowna a perfect 5/5 in terms of its scenery.

Part of that is due to the lake views, but the other is the gorgeous rolling hills of endless grape vines of the esteemed wineries throughout the Okanagan.

To ensure people get a taste of the whole region, Destination Races sets up a number of events in different areas, which creates a perfect itinerary for those visiting from out of town.

On Friday, Sept. 4, there is a marathon welcome reception at the Quails’ Gate

winery in West Kelowna.

On Saturday, Sept. 5, participants can make their way to the Delta Grand Hotel to check out the race expo activities.

On Saturday evening,there will be a pre-race dinner hosted by Sandhill Wines. The runners get to socialize, sample local fare, and imbibe a wider selection of local wines. The pre-race dinner also hosts a guest speaker every year, and is typically an accomplished Canadian athlete who tells their own stories of success and struggles with running, but also lends advice to all of those embarking on the following day’s half marathon.

Race day begins bright and early on Sunday, Sept 6, 7 a.m., at the Vibrant Vine winery on Pooley Road in Kelowna.

Ultimately, this event is really much more of a full regional experience.

Kelowna is such a hidden gem for many in the US, and the Kelowna Wine Country Half Marathon is a great event for helping visitors get a much more in-depth grasp of many things the Okanagan has to offer.

LORRAINE ADELE (WARREN) BRADEN Lorraine was born October 15, 1939 in Birtle, Manitoba.

She lived in Manitoba until age six when she moved with her family to Kelowna, BC. Lorraine spent most of her life in Kelowna, and this is where she passed away on August 19th in her 75th year.

During her years at Kelowna High School, Lorraine was very involved in the band program, and she served as a Lady of the Lake princess. Her fond memories of her high school years motivated Lorraine to play a leading role in planning several Kelowna High School reunions.

Lorraine was predeceased by her parents, Austin and Florence Warren of Kelowna. She is survived by her life partner, Dick Grainger; sister Joyce Smallwood; her children Cheryl (Mike) Dedels of Kamloops, Jan Braden of Kelowna, and Bill (Shana) Braden of Campbell River.

She was always very proud of her eight grandchildren: Erin(Jeff) Smyth; Jenna (Chad) Lishman; Craig Dedels; Warren, Cayley and Raina Turnbull; Kenzie and Megan Braden; and her two great-grandchildren, Caydence and Hudson Smyth.

Lorraine was a long term care aide at Sutherland Hills for many years. After her retirement, Lorraine and Dick enjoyed many travels to Mexico and Texas. Until Lorraine’s illness prevented it, they also liked camping in their motorhome in the interior and coastal regions of BC. Lorraine was very generous with her love to those around her, and her outgoing personality helped make friends wherever she went. Lorraine will be sadly missed by all who loved her.

A memorial service will be held at First Memorial Funeral Services, 1211 Sutherland Ave., Kelowna on Friday, August 28th at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation in memory of Lorraine Braden. We would also like to express our thanks to the nursing and support staff at Cottonwoods (Driftwood Unit) for their fine care of Lorraine.

He served aboard the HMCS Cayuga during the Korean War and Cuban Missile Crisis.

It is with great sadness to announce that on July 29, 2015, Susan passed away peacefully at the age of 55 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Predeceased by her parents Phillip Donovan Watts, and Janet Ann Watts.

She will be missed by her Daughter Hayley, Granddaughter Ava, Brother Keith (Ann), Nieces Brittany and Ashleigh, and many other family members and friends.

Susan was such a positive and inspirational person. Even in her struggling days, she still always knew how to put a smile on your face. She touched so many lives, especially when creating a group on Facebook in 2013 called growing up in South Burnaby that brought as many as 2500 people together. Susan spent many years working for BC Tel making lots of friends along the way. In later years, she also gained a new family when she became an independent distributor for Nucerity International. The people she met through this business brought her the strength and positive outlook she needed when she was first diagnosed with cancer a few years ago. This allowed her to use that strength to help others who were also struggling with this disease. She found happiness in spending time with her new Granddaughter Ava; swimming in the pool and driving around with her in her sporty red Mazda Miata convertible! Ava will never forget Nana’s house, as playing with play doh, coloring, stickers, and bath time was always such a joy for both of them.

A celebration of life will be held at the Ramada Hotel and Conference Centre located at 2170 Harvey Ave, Kelowna, BC on Saturday, September 5, 2015 at 1:00 pm.

She was well known for her great baking specialties of shortbread cookies and fruit pies.

Irene was one-of-a-kind, tough, strong willed, and she was the foundation of our family. She will be deeply missed by all of us. We will try to carry on the values of selflessness and the kindness she held and shared with us. She will be forever loved and missed daily.

Marc van Roechoudt 1935-2015

Marc van Roechoudt passed away peacefully at home after a yearlong battle with a brain tumour.

Marc was born in Geneva, Switzerland, and spent his early years living in the Haute Savoie region of France. During WWII the family escaped occupied France in a canoe on Lake Geneva, while being shot at. They stayed in Switzerland until the end of the war when his father found horticultural work on an Agricultural Experimental station in the Belgian Congo (now the Democratic Republic of Congo).

From the Congo the family immigrated to Canada and came straight to the Okanagan. They purchased part of the original Rainbow Ranche in Okanagan Centre, BC. Marc graduated from Rutland High School and went on to attend Royal Military College in Kingston. He graduated as a geological engineer from what is now the Polytechnic in Montreal. After working for several years in eastern Canada, he returned to the Okanagan to help run the family orchard.

The van Roechoudt’s were well known as leaders in the tree fruit industry. Marc’s father was the first to plant dwarf trees in the Okanagan and Marc followed in his innovative footsteps by experimenting with high-density plantings and new varieties. Marc took great pride in his apples and recently was awarded the Golden Apple Award, the Farm Family of the Year award along with taking top prizes at the Royal Winter Fair for his Ambrosia and Royal Gala apples.

Marc was an active volunteer with both community and industry groups. He sat on the Lake Country Water Advisory Committee (formerly Winfield and Okanagan Centre Irrigation District) for nearly thirty years, was a BC Fruit Growers’ Association committee member, and more recently vice-chair of the Ambrosia Council.

Marc’s biggest passion was skiing. You could regularly find him on the slopes of Big White in the winter, often as a Snow Host touring guests around the mountain.

He is survived by his wife Tessa, daughters Jessie (Stefan Belavy) and Madeleine (Timothy Lynch), twin sister Anne (Ronald Crozier) and brother Eric (Anne de Blommaert).

There will not be a funeral service, but a date for a celebration of life will be announced at a later time.

Owned and operated by TJ Papp, this online franchised platform to the Okanagan is developed to help give locally owned businesses everything they need to be successful online and also make it easy for consumers to support those local businesses.

The trend for some consumers has been to shop at big box stores or online at Amazon.

To reverse this trend and keep more money in our local economy, ShopKelowna.com has developed a local online directory and marketplace featuring our great local businesses and the products and services they offer. ShopKelowna. com is an extension of ShopLocally.com, which started in Midland, Ontario by Colin Pape, whose family owned a small business. When the box stores started to come into their town, it really affected their local business. The Pape’s began to focus their efforts online and the store thrived.

This prompted him to duplicate the platform across Canada and now into the US and around the world. Businesses who are interested in

The new phone number for Jordan and Steven Kupidy’s CBI Health Group is 778-3130104.

Long-time local residents, Frank and Asae Yoshioka, were invited to attend the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Vancouver where Frank proudly had the honour of receiving medals for both his father, Tom Yoshioka and uncle, Happy Yoshioka who were inducted into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame as members of the Vancouver Asahi Baseball Team. The Asahi ball team came about under the leadership of Harry Miyasaki who was determined to have a team that could win the Terminal League Championship—and that it did. In 1926 the Asahi team won the Terminal League playoffs and was voted most popular team in the City of Vancouver. This began a succession of wins and championships for the Asahi team including a triple championship season in 1938. Now, after all these years,

Frank’s family has been honoured by seeing two members of their family bestowed with this honour. The B.C. Sports Hall of Fame and Museum preserves and honours BC’s sport heritage by recognizing extraordinary achievement in sport and have inducted 363 individuals and 58 teams since 1966.

An interesting twist in the fingernail industry.

Jenny Gravel has started a new online business called Goldfinger Custom Design Fingernails. She sells solid gold fingernails, which are not gold filled, plated or gold nail polish.

They come in three widths Small—10 mm; Medium—11.5 mm and Large—12 mm. They also custom designed to any length or style of nail to fit customers’ likes. Incidentally, Jenny has been wearing her gold nails for 30 years.

They can be worn as a full set or as a single nail for a wow effect. Visit www.golffingernails.ca or contact Jenny at 250317-4523 or jennyjag@ goldfingernails.ca.

A

Q

Is it possible to clean shag carpeting?

Remember the green shag carpets that adorned so many floors in the ‘70s? Well, green isn’t likely to return but more neutral shades of wall to wall shag carpeting are quite popular now. The question most people have is, “How well will this long pile carpet clean?” The Oxy-Dry® system is able to clean shag carpeting with great results utilizing two different types of cleaning equipment for optimum soil removal. Our exclusive Max-Vac extraction vacuum powerfully removes deep down dust and grit from the carpet backing. Our main cleaning unit has more than a dozen different attachments available to suit any carpet type including shag for a true deep down clean. As always, our Ozone Boost system is included to naturally sanitize and deodorize.

Carpets dry in as little as 30-60 minutes and will stay clean up to 3 times longer than other methods.

The rising tide of the self-employed on a different kind of “rush.” And there’s not much traffic at 7 a.m.

So, take a good look at this option for your life’s journey. It’s a choice facing a multitude of highly skilled experienced professionals and career workers across our Okanagan region today.

You never know when you might have to trade in your assigned parking spot at the office.

Ultimately, we are all selfemployed, aren’t we?

The challenge of selfemployment can be overwhelming to a person who has always worked for someone else.

Simply put, most people are followers who don’t wish to be independent. Society has spawned a compliant workforce that happily does its bidding.

Isn’t working for someone else less risky and just plain and simple easier? Quite possibly so, but that is no consolation for many seeking a greater experience.

It’s not about freedom, the challenge, the adrenalin rush in the risk and facing life in a whole new dimension, and it’s about finding your true self that you may, unknowingly, had hidden for an abundance of your life.

Remember, you are the factor in the entrepreneurial spirit formula.

Be ready and prepared as you can be for self-employment, to face the challenges that will come your way. eagleyoung@shaw.ca

He has been pampered and fussed over...but really needs to be in a home that he can call his own and become the best dog he can be. Being educated about his breed will be very helpful in helping him adjust and will make the bonding that much easier.

Ask the staff to set up a meet & greet if you feel that Kiwa would fit into your life.

Katniss is a quiet social girl who would thrive in a quiet home. She is a bit reserved until she bonds. Her previous owners did not address an injury to her hind leg and it healed wrong, but it doesn’t slow her down, she just needs a special diet to help prevent arthritis from setting in. She is young and deserves a 2nd chance at a wonderful, loving, stable home. She is worth it.
