The Kelowna RCMP investigation is continuing into why two men were seriously injured in a shooting incident late Sunday night.

Both men were sent to Kelowna General Hospital, and police were saying as of Tuesday their investigation was still trying to figure out what exactly happened.

That’s largely because neither of the shooting victims were available initially to talk to police because they required medical treatment.

What police do know is that on Sunday at around 10:50 p.m, officers responded to a report of shots fired in the 1400 block of Terai Road.

Area residents told police a man was heard yelling, then a series of gunshots were fired which were followed by silence.

A search of the area, assisted by a police dog, failed to locate any suspects.

Then at 11 p.m., ambulance paramedics responded to an emergency call at a house in Rutland in which a 27-year-old male had been shot with a gun.

At 11:02 p.m., paramedics responded to a second gunshot victim, this time a 33-yearold male at a different residence in Rutland.

The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is asked to call the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300.

APPLE HARVEST

Early crop raises concern for quality Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Across the Okanagan last week, apple growers issued a call for pickers.

After a dry, hot summer, apples were ready to be plucked from the trees ahead of schedule.

“Everything is early in the Okanagan this year, by almost two weeks,” said farmer Ken Rieger, from his booth at Kelowna’s farmers’ market. “I have been farming for 45 years, and this is the first time I have ever picked Macintosh in August.”

While getting the crop ahead of schedule may sound like a good thing, Rieger said it can create a quality problem.

“Apples need cool nights so they can get the good colour,” he said.

“And if you are picking in August, you don’t really get the good, cool nights.”

Without the burst of colour that comes from the end of the season, the financial yield of the crop is also lower.

“An Extra Fancy, for example, needs a certain intensity of colour, and if they don’t get it, they get put down to a lower [price] tier,” he said.

Rieger said some farmers are struggling with conditions this year, but for the most part the apple business is on solid ground.

So much so, that he’s been told there are grape growers pulling out their crops in favour of planting apple trees.

That, he said, is reflective of the fact that farmers have to be adaptive.

Whether it’s changing streams of fruit growing, replanting new varieties of apples as they’re released or finding a niche market, innovation is key.

Rieger found his place in the farming world when he decided to go organic eight years ago.

“Until then I was conventional. But I saw what it was doing to the animals and the grass… and I thought, this is not natural,” he said.

“Having thought that,

KATHY MICHAELS/CAPITAL NEWS

Police trying to sort out Rutland shootings

Apple grower Ken Rieger says this year’s early harvest has created some challenges for orchardists.

I then thought, what is it doing to me, the farmer, when I’m in the middle of it all?”

When he went organic, he never looked back— despite the fact it hasn’t always been easy.

BC Tree Fruits used to have a stream for organic apples, but they ended their organic program

four years ago and that meant Rieger had to find a different way to get his fruits to market.

“They organic farmer is a fickle farmer, and not a large farmer and the packinghouse didn’t feel having organic fruit dictated the cost of shipping and packing,” he said.

So, he found a smaller packinghouse in Rutland, and the farmers market.

At the market, on a good Saturday, he can sell hundreds of pounds, as can the other handful of organic apple growers regularly there.

“Most people who shop at the farmers market are concerned

about what they eat,” he said, noting that creates a faithful following.

And, he added, the organic sector is growing by 10 per cent a year.

“It’s becoming a bigger factor in the marketplace.

It’s just a matter of people becoming more aware,” he said. “And I just hate spraying.”

HERITAGE HOUSE PRESERVED

Proposed Abbott Street home demolition cancelled Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Rather than gloat over what it considers a major victory for its neighbourhood and Kelowna heritage buildings in general, the Abbott Heritage Area Society has extended an olive branch to the homeowner who originally wanted to tear down a heritage home in the area but has now decided to keep it standing.

David Negrin wanted to demolish the 84-year-old Spanish colonial-style house at 2072 Abbott St., but changed his mind in light of city planners recommending council not approve the demolition.

James Avery, president of the Abbott Heritage Area Society, said Tuesday while he’s happy with Negrin’s about-face, he felt it was only fitting to invite the house’s owner—who also owns other properties in the immediate area—to become a member of the society.

“The news of a reversal of fortune for the distinguished heritage home of 2072 Abbott Street was received by many with a sense of relief and elation,” writes Avery in an open letter to Negrin.

“Your decision to withdraw the request for demolition and the avoidance of the pending loss of a cultural artefact specific to Kelowna’s cultural identity, is indeed, worthy of our expressed gratitude.”

Avery told the Kelowna Capital News, he had spoken to some of the tradespeople working on the Abbott Street site and was told some painting has been done inside the house, as well as some electrical work. “That’s good news,” said Avery, saying it further points to a plan to renovate, not demolish or move the house off the lot.

In the letter, Negrin is invited to become part of what Avery called the “heritage neighbourhood.”

“Nothing would please us more than to have you join our commitment to preserve the elements of Kelowna’s most significant heritage public asset, the Abbott Heritage Area,” Avery wrote in the letter.

Kelowna city hall has confirmed the demolition application has been withdrawn and the file is now closed.

The heritage area society feared demolition of the house—which is listed on the city’s heritage roster—would have set a dangerous precedent that could have resulted in more heritage buildings in the city coming down.

Negrin has owned the house for a few years and Avery said, while the owner’s representatives have publicly stated they feel the building is in disrepair and “unlivable,” he disagrees.

“The house is in amazing condition,” said Avery, adding the previous residents were, in his words, “meticulous” in their care for the building.

When close to 22,000 students headed back to school on Tuesday, classrooms across the Central Okanagan School District were filled with more learners than in previous years as the district continues to be one of the few in the province with increasing numbers.

One program in particular continues to grow, out-pacing the number of available classroom seats leaving the Central Okanagan School District looking to completely revamp the French immersion program in the district.

It’s projected about 2,300 students will enter French immersion programs this year, about 12 per cent of the student population within the Central Okanagan.

The majority of those students are in one of the six elementary schools while the district’s lone French immersion middle school— KLO Middle—was at capacity as of Tuesday with about 480 French immersion students and 400 students in English programs.

“Attendance in French immersion is up and we have struggled to keep up with the demand,” said district superintendent Hugh Gloster.

“As the elementary school attendance has gone up (in French immersion), it’s putting a huge amount of pressure on KLO. We are getting the maximum out of our

‘Evil queen’ anything but kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

An evil queen made a brief appearance in Kelowna this weekend and, luckily for the hundreds who went to see her, she didn’t live up to her title.

Serving up gelato at

Il Tavolino Italian Bistro in Kelowna Saturday, award-winning actress Lana Parrilla from the ABC show Once Upon a Time, was gracious and friendly, making time for both selfies and small-talk with fans who lined up for hours for a brush with their favourite celebrity.

Whether it was the odd fan squealing “I love Regina” or those who dressed up like characters from the fairytale-driven show, it’s clear the wait was well worth it.

Nicole, 14, and Neeva Matthews, 10, waited over an hour in the lineup that was hundreds

deep for a chance to see one of their favourite characters in person.

“I really wanted to meet her,” said Nicole, who was hoping to get an autograph. “My sister and I both really like the show. I like fairytales, and the plot twists on Once Upon a time make it more interesting.”

The girls also had some thoughts on whether Parrilla’s character would manage to escape her dark past, and become one of the good guys.

“I think she will (be good),” said Neeva.

“She’s really interesting, and unique in her ways.”

Further down the queue one group of fans were turning heads with costumes cut right from the primetime program.

The Sun Will Shine What a blessing it is to call Kelowna home! We live in one of the most beautiful places in the world. The summer of 2015 has been a hot one. Thousands of swimmers and sun-bathers flocked to our beaches and just as many boaters sailed and cruised the waters of Lake Okanagan. Others enjoyed our orchards, vineyards, fruit stands and numerous other tourist attractions. Backyards, decks, patios and parks came alive with picnickers. Summer in the Okanagan can be a time of refreshment, relaxation and fun. However, our legendary blue sky, spectacular views and sunshine were blocked for many days by smoke from fires that burned around us. The smoke forced many of us and our visitors inside and curtailed our numerous summer activities. The smoke eventually disappeared and our activities resumed.

The smoke that blocked the sun and the difficulties it inflicted, pointed to a reality in the lives of many in our community. Throughout our city and surrounding communities a number of those who were forced inside, experienced real gloom, found it hard to breathe and experienced tears in their eyes because of illness, grief, personal tragedy and/or the sheer weight of sin and regret.

To those who carry these burdens, it seems that the sun will never shine again, the tears will never stop flowing, breathing will always be labored and life cannot go on. They want to know if the sun will shine again. They wonder if anyone cares. They long for a

good word. Jesus has a good word for all those who suffer.

“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30).

Jesus asks you to give him what burdens you have and you will find rest in him. You will find solace when he reveals that the Son of God empathises with you. As truly human, he knows your physical pain and suffering. Jesus was tempted by the devil and he did not sin. He was beaten, scourged and crucified. He knows your mental anguish and pain.

He put up with ignorant, egotistical and downright evil political and religious leaders.

He put up with disciples who misunderstood, denied, abandoned and betrayed him.

He forgave those who crucified him because they did not know what they were doing.

As the Son of God, Jesus will reveal that he has the power to forgive our sins and pronounce that his innocent suffering and death paid for the consequences of our sins.

You can experience freedom from sin and regret. The Son of God can perform miracles in your life. God can bless the hands of a physician and medical procedures and bring about healing and wholeness.

Jesus can miraculously change any situation and change your whole life. Jesus can perform another miracle, he can give you the grace, the faith and the

strength to endure your pain and/ or suffering, and in the end, overcome the obstacles you face.

When Jesus works in our lives, and he forgives, inspires and strengthens us, we can be transformed and we can become new people. The light of Jesus Christ can shine in our lives, we can see ourselves and the world differently and we can reflect that light on others.

Jesus longs to gather us together as a hen gathers her chicks, but we most often refuse. He is calling you today to come to him. He asks you to bring your burdens and leave them at his feet. He has much to give you. Come gather with us under Jesus’ wings.

We begin our new church year in September. We worship on Sunday Mornings at 9:00 (Contemporary) and 10:30 (Traditional). Sunday school is at 10:30. During the week we have Bible studies, fellowship meals, and opportunities for service at church and in the community. There is a Healing Service the last Wednesday of each month at 6:30PM. Come join us.

TRAFFIC SAFETY

Vigilence called for in school zones

Roughly 21,000 students in the Central Okanagan returned to classes on Tuesday.

With schools back in session, it also means all those students will be on area roads, traveling back and forth to their various schools by foot, bike, car, bus and a number of other “We all have to be extra vigilant during this time,” said Dave Gibson, Kelowna RCMP regional traffic safety officer.

“We are used to going through school zones without reducing our speed to 30 km/h during the summer months.”

School zone signs go back into effect Sept. 8 and speed limits within are enforced from 8 a.m.

until 5 p.m. on days that schools are in session.

Gibson also wants to remind the public about the re-appearance of school buses on our roadways.

Traffic must stop in both directions when a school bus is stopped and displaying red flashing lights with an extended stop sign.

Every year, the City of Kelowna picks a different school site to be the “focal” school of the back to school safety campaign.

This year, the school chosen is Anne McClymont Elementary in the Mission on Lakeshore Road.

Gibson noted the city has been responsive

SOLUTIONS

fall hours MoN to fri 7:30-4:30

PRECISION IRRIGATION NOZZLES If you are having a problem with an irrigation zone that just doesn’t seem to be spraying the distance it used to, don’t worry - there is a nozzle that can help!

There are many reasons why your irrigation system may stop putting out as much distance from nozzles as it used to: increased water demand from an expansion of housing in your neighbourhood, the installation of a water meter or too many irrigation heads in one zone can wreak havoc with your sprinklers.

Toro’s new Precision Series spray nozzles are a very efficient spray nozzle that aid in elimination of runoff or loss of water to evaporation and savings in water bills. The precision nozzle has a 1”/hour precipitation rate which puts water down slowly and evenly and makes it easier for the water to absorb into the surface rather than pool on the surface and evaporate, or run off into a drainage system or down a hill.

The new nozzle uses 1/3 less water than a traditional nozzle, so if you are having an issue with an irrigation zone with too many heads on one line the switch to these nozzles may help get the distance back and provide the coverage you need without the trouble of trying to split the zone.

If you have any questions about these nozzles or any other irrigation problems, please drop in to see us.

If you are unsure of your system or the problem, bring us a picture and we would be more than happy to help you with your issue.

Construction is ontime and on-schedule for the massive renovation, rebuild, renovation and addition to the trades training complex at Okanagan College in Kelowna.

Last week, college officials showed off the new state-of-the-art welding shop, which will

open to students next week.

As the province’s largest trainer of welders, and the second largest trainer of trades people, the investment in Okanagan College is expected to pay off given the need for tradesmen and women is expected to raise substantially over the next five to 10 years in B.C. And an increasing number of those positions are being filled by women

as they move into what has traditionally been male-dominated trades.

In areas like welding and electrical, the Women In Trades program, as delivered by OC, has been a success.

“My dad suggested I try welding and I love it,” said student Stephanie Dattoll.

While admitting she had not settled on what exactly she wants to do after completing her welder training, she

said the trade is in such demand in a number of fields—everything from pipe-fitting to metal work, as well as straight welding itself, that she feels it will help broaden her options.

She said she will likely return to Okanagan College to complete an advanced welding course after she completes the level C course she is currently enrolled in.

That means Dattoll will get to use the new

36-booth welding shop, with its state-of-the-art equipment, lighting, gas delivery and ventilation systems. “I can’t wait,” she said.

The biggest construction project at the Kelowna OC campus since it was built in the early 1960s, once complete the new trades complex will allow the college to bring back several trades programs currently being offered at leased space elsewhere in the city. It will also allow the college to offer new programs and seats for students that the college feels are needed now but currently does not have the space to provide them.

The completion of the new, larger more efficient and greener welding shop is the second phase of the overall project. The

first was the renovation and expansion of the existing heavy-duty mechanics shop, which was completed two years ago.

Meanwhile, construction is continuing on the new three-storey trades centre building— which will include classrooms, offices and training workshops— located at the front of the KLO campus.

It will be the fourth phase of the project, with the third phase being renovations to the other trades training shops currently housed in existing buildings on the campus. In addition to the provincial money, the college is raising another $5 million for the project, as well as an additional $2 million for programs, equipment and student bursaries.

Cracking down on cell phone distracted drivers While government reviews B.C.’s distracted driving penalties, ICBC, police and the B.C. government are teaming up to launch a monthlong distracted driving campaign across the province.

One in four deaths on B.C. roads involves distracted driving. It’s time we all commit to leaving our phones alone and avoiding other forms of distraction when we’re behind the wheel.

This month, police are ramping up their enforcement of distracted driving across the province.

Distracted driving is the second leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C. and a leading cause of crashes with pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists.

Cell Watch volunteers will be roadside across the province reminding drivers to leave their phones alone.

ICBC road safety coordinators will also be visiting community events with a driving simulator the public can try.

You can take a stand against distracted driving and encourage others to do the same by picking up a free decal

to display on your vehicle at ICBC driver licensing offices and participating Autoplan broker offices.

TELUS is also a supporter of this month’s campaign and has been working with ICBC to help educate drivers about the risks of using a cell phone while driving through its smartphone and Internet safety program, TELUS WISE. The campaign features new radio advertising, digital advertising which will appear online and in restaurants and bars, and television ads. You can view an infographic on this month’s distracted driving campaign at icbc. com.

“The cost of a distracted driving ticket in B.C. is only $167— the second lowest in Canada—yet the cost of a distracted driving crash can be a person’s life,” said Suzanne Anton,

B.C.’s Attorney General and Minister of Justice.

“During our monthlong consultation, it was clear the public firmly agrees that our fines are too low. We are going to fix this.

“Over the coming months, we will make our roads safer with tough, fair, and effective sanctions to curtail this alarming but preventable problem.

“If you choose to drive distracted and put others’ lives at risk, police will catch you,” said Staff Sgt. Dale Somerville, of B.C. RCMP Traffic Services. “B.C. drivers know it’s against the law, but far too many still make excuses for their behaviour, then continue to put themselves and others at risk. That’s why we’re cracking down on those who cannot police themselves. Even when you’re at a red light or

Opinion OUR VIEW

Unlocking the potential of our students The new school year is officially underway in the Central Okanagan. Even if you don’t have kids in the education system, there is still this sense that summer fun is behind us and now we must get down to business.

Roads are busier and so are everyone’s lives. Parents begin their everyday scramble of getting kids to and from school safely.

For some young ones, this week marks their entry into the school system. For older ones, they are entering into middle or high school. Classrooms are clean and bright, teachers and administrators rolling out the welcome mat.

While education is always evolving—big changes are coming to how teachers teach. In the coming years, traditional teaching is being phased out. No longer will educators be standing in front of the classroom lecturing while students follow along from textbooks.

Instead classrooms will be interactive with teachers discovering individual student’s passions. Teachers will direct and fuel those interests on a new learning path.

Gone will be the days where everyone has to read the same tired book and write a report on it. Eventually, letter grades will be gone too, and grade-point-average won’t be the be-all-end all to get into university.

It’s welcome change for students who don’t thrive in the traditional classroom setting.

If teachers can tap into what individual students get excited about, the potential to unlock their brain from boredom and turn it into drive and passion is exciting news.

Many teachers are already adapting their teaching style to this new way of reaching students. There are no two students alike. Some children thrive on tests and report deadlines, others crash and burn. Change is hard for all, but this is a directive coming from the government that parents and students should support.

Incumbents should take nothing for granted With the Labour Day long weekend City behind us, the kids Confidential back in school, the weather cooler and ALISTAIR summer now a fast WATERS receding memory, Canadians can turn their attention to what few of us wanted to acknowledge over the last six weeks—there’s a federal election campaign underway.

Whether by accident of design—likely the latter— the early election call meant few people were thinking of their ballot box choices when there were still several weeks left in summertime.

While the calendar tells us summer won’t officially end until Sept. 21, for most, the aforementioned seasonal milestones indicate fall has arrived.

So we’ll hopefully, and in some cases begrudgingly, start listening to what politicians and would-be politicians of all stripes have to say.

For many in the two Central Okanagan ridings, the outcome often appears to be a foregone conclusion. The winning formula for candidates here, when it comes to federal elections, always seems to be the same—run as a Conservative.

But while the two incumbent Tories may be considered the favourites in Kelowna-Lake Country and the new Central Okanagan-Similkamen-Nicola ridings, even they should not be taking anything for granted this time around.

In this election, both the NDP and Liberals are running strong candidates and, based on national polls, appear

to have messages that the electorate wants to hear. Is it enough to win? We’ll see.

But now’s the time to start paying attention.

This is when traditional federal election campaigns would normally begin, about six weeks out.

While everyone’s vote is their business, what is crucial is that the electorate, as individuals, be informed. Voting for a candidate because your family has always voted that way, or your spouse votes that way, is a true wasted vote.

But it’s not a waste to vote for a party whose message, goals or aims you believe in, even if you know the local candidate does not have a chance of winning. The point of an election is for the public to have its say.

Sure, we have elections to select our representatives in the national parliament. But we also have them to express ideas, put points of view forward and educate the public with positions they may not have considered before.

In what has increasingly become more of a popularity contest among the national party leaders, it’s time to take our elections back and find out what local candidates have to say and what they stand for—not the party rhetoric but their personal beliefs and points of view that will influence how they represent us if they are elected.

Don’t let ignorance rob you of your vote—because an ignorant vote really is a wasted vote.

Now’s the time to start paying attention, regardless of who you have voted for in the past.

Require a deposit on ammunition casings To the editor: As our backcountry is becoming more and more polluted with garbage, it appears there is a certain group of individuals who feel that they can continue to unnecessarily leave their spent shell casings everywhere they pull the trigger.

I propose that our elected government officials wake up and impose a deposit on each and every round of ammunition sold, in an attempt to have firearm users make an honest effort to clean up after themselves.

A 25 cent deposit on every single casing would be a good starting point. At least this

Hope for transparency out of principles strategy To the editor: It’s easy to miss important local news during a long election campaign, fire-season, family BBQs, stock-market jitters, and tragic stories of refugees attempting to reach sanctuary in foreign lands, too often at the risk of their lives. That’s a lot to think about.

The important local news is a 15-page document entitled “Principles and Strategies for Financial Strength and Stability” prepared for the City of Kelowna by Urban Systems Ltd. The report was approved by council on August 24, and will serve as a “reference for Council, City Manager, senior leadership and staff when considering financial decisions.”

It may also help to enlighten residents who have not always (if ever) understood how the city makes its decisions. The report has five financial principles worth knowing and understanding. Why? Because it is easier than solving world problems. But there is a connection, as the seeds of global problems begin to sprout at the local level.

The ongoing imbalance in service levels to dog owners may finally be redressed if city manager, senior leadership, staff, and council apply the principles, or rule of decisionmaking, proposed and adopted by council.

Two principles in particular, transparency and balance, will be welcome to all residents, not just dog owners. To quote the report: “Being transparent ultimately builds trust and benefits the community overall.”

Balance, the need for “consistent and quality services” fits nicely with transparency.

If city authorities adopt these two rules, residents will not have to wonder why some dogs designated as dangerous are released on conditional consent orders while others become residents of the pound for months and even years. Transparency is not served when an explanation is not forthcoming. Only secrecy is served by costly court trials in one case and releases in another.

As well, the two principles ought to shed light on why there is a disproportionate number of sports fields, and a miniscule number of urban off-leash dog parks and why the city has, for more than 10 years, been unsuccessful in finding just one more beach park for dog owners.

The principle of transparency and balance, if observed by the city, may also explain why the city remains silent about its intentions for the 13 lakefront properties it owns along Abbott Street and Meikle Road. The properties have been rezoned to P3 (park), but so far only the paddle club has been leased three of the properties. Where is the transparency and balance here?

I welcome the report nevertheless, as I would welcome our government implementing an action plan to bring destitute refugees to Canada.

CONCERNED CITIZEN

City not doing its share to conserve Kelowna resources To the editor: A lot has been said and written recently about the local drought, water shortages, and conservation. Government officials have once again called for everyone to act responsibly and to conserve water in light of the past hot and dry summer in the Okanagan. Some of them have even suggested that this is not a one-time occurrence but rather the “new normal” brought about by climate change.

But are these same government officials doing everything they can in order to conserve water for existing residents by putting a check on further population growth? Heck no! Growth continues unabated in the region and is even encouraged.

In the greater Kelowna area 730 new homes were built in the first half of the year according to the CMHC. Add at least 1,500 more water-sucking residents to the regional population right there. Furthermore, the City of Kelowna itself boasted $229 million in building permits for that time period, the second highest on record, and city staff told city council recently that 2015 could see the highest-ever level of new construction. There is a foul smell here, and it is the smell of hypocrisy.

In the 2006 joint report by Environment

Canada and UBC, Participatory Integrated Assessment of Water Management and Climate Change in the Okanagan Basin, British Columbia, the authors concluded that even the aggressive implementation of residential conservation measures will not be enough to offset the supplydemand gap in water as a result of climate change and population growth, and they call for further government interventions.

However, local government officials aren’t listening as they only hear what they want to hear, which is what they are told by the business community. I suggest that one of these interventions be the halting of further residential growth.

Before calling on existing residents to accept a lower quality of life by conserving water and cheerfully watching their lawns turn brown, local governments should put a halt on issuing any more development permits for new residential construction.

Only after these same governments have done everything in their power to save water, should existing residents be asked to lower their quality of life. Otherwise, in my humble opinion, residents have no obligation to cooperate.

Raging war not a means to peace

of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen

To the editor: The whole world was saddened to see the images of the little three-year-old boy washed up dead on the beach in Europe.

This continuous war in Syria and in Palestine needs to stop but more bombing does not seem to make much difference. The bombing is not “surgical” as they say. There are many thousands of innocent bystanders called “collateral damage” that no one seems to take into account.

Remember the Israeli jets bombed just across their border, hit a school full of 110 children. The world didn’t actually see these images so who really cares? The parents and families do, we should also care.

The Israelis are God’s chosen people so I presume this is their right to bomb and kill school children. At least these school children will not grow up to fight their neighbours.

Just how much does religion blend into these wars? Is there no limit to hating your neighbour because his religion does not match yours?

I read todays news that the German Christian churches are busy baptizing the newcomers into their religion so they are more accepted and cannot be sent back to a Muslim area because they would fear for their lives there. The German priest called their old religion a religion of Satan, whatever that means? I see their real colour more clearly now. I sure hope there is plenty of room in “Heaven” for all these people of such pure thoughts. I sure hope all these religious people are down on their knees praying for more peace because we cannot continue these wars and killings.

Q

If I replace my carpet with hardwood floor, will this reduce the dust in my house?

There is a myth that carpets are a source of allergens and dust and hard floors are better. The truth is a well maintained carpet will keep the air in the home cleaner than a hard floor.

In 1975 Sweden pushed to remove all carpeting in public buildings and encouraged homeowners to do the same. Breathing related illnesses rose dramatically as it was discovered that a small amount of air movement on a hard floor lifts allergens up into the respiratory systems of occupants.

Carpet, on the other hand, is a wonderful filter holding the dust and keeping it out of the air. Vacuuming thoroughly once a week with a quality vacuum is usually enough to keep the dust down and the air clean. Having the carpet cleaned by Oxy-Dry® on a regular basis is also essential to keeping the home as contaminant free as possible. Our exclusive ozone boost system will kill all germs, bacteria and viruses on contact as well as eradicating dust mites keeping your carpet FRESH and sanitary.

No other system can match this effectiveness!

to humanely euthanize the dog.

In the original judgment, Judge Anne Wallace ruled a pitbull named Buddy and a Presa Canario named Jake, are “dangerous” dogs as defined by section 49 (10) of the B.C. Community Charter.

She found Jake to be a danger to other dogs and said he should be euthanized.

She ruled that Buddy, while dangerous, should be returned to its owner with conditions.

At the request of the Regional District of Central Okanagan, Wallace has clarified her judgment with an order to reflect the requirements and higher standards of control for dangerous dogs as legislated in RDCO’s Responsible Dog Ownership Bylaw No 1343.

In order to protect the public and other animals from future potential incidents, Buddy must be leashed and muzzled when outside a dwelling or an enclosed vehicle, kept in a secure fenced area on his property, a sign must be posted advising the public that a dangerous dog is on the property and the dog must be microchipped.

Additional public safety conditions were also outlined in the order for Buddy’s owner.

The judge’s order also extended the deadline for an appeal of her decisions on the fate of the two dogs until Sept. 14.

Mountain biker rescue

A helicopter was required Sunday to help pluck an injured mountain biker to safety after the rider crashed on a remote trail in a wooded area on the Westside.

According to Darren Lee, assistant fire chief with West Kelowna Fire Rescue, the rider was airlifted out by Penticton and District Search and Rescue’s Helicopter External Transport System (HETS) team, after being called in by local rescue crews.

Lee said the West Kelowna rescue team had to hike several kilometres into the forest to get to the injured rider, then it was decided to airlift the rider out due to the nature of his injuries.

KELOWNA ART GALLERY

School tour programs will need volunteers to serve as guides

SELECTED SWIMWEAR

1/2 Price

The Kelowna Art Gallery is currently looking for volunteer docents (tour guides) for its school tour program. Interested applicants should enjoy a creative atmosphere, stimulating surroundings, and working with children.

Volunteer docents lead students on exhibition tours and host discussions about exhibitions on view at the gallery.

The art gallery’s school tour program welcomes more than 6,000 students from schools throughout the Central Okanagan through its doors each year. For many students, this visit is their first experience in an art gallery.

“Becoming a volunteer docent at the gallery was the most rewarding new experience I have had in a long

time,” said volunteer Karen Rodger.

“Each tour and discussion with a class felt completely different from the previous one.

“The children continually surprised me by making the most remarkable observations on the art work,” she said.

All docents receive full instruction on the art in each exhibition and advanced training about working with students in a gallery setting.

In addition, docents receive a complimentary Kelowna Art Gallery membership, and after three months of service, earn a free KAG art class or workshop of their choice.

Interested applicants are invited to come with questions to the Okanagan Volunteer Opportunities

Fair on Saturday, Sept. 19, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Parkinson Recreation Centre.

New and returning volunteers are asked to submit an application form to the Kelowna Art Gallery no later than Monday, Sept. 21. Application forms are available online or at the gallery reception desk.

For more information please call the gallery at 250-762-2226.

The Kelowna Art Gallery is located at 1315 Water St., in the heart of the Cultural District in downtown Kelowna.

Seniors KEEP ACTIVE

Don’t fall for autumn setbacks As the fall approaches we are faced once again with shorter days, colder temperatures and more comfort food. Although it varies from person to person, surveys show that the average person puts on five to seven pounds during the winter months.

People often gain weight because they become less active, eat more and spend less time outdoors. In order to avoid seasonal weight gain, it’s important to look for ways to stick to a regular exercise routine and monitor your food intake.

For those who prefer to take their exercise indoors when the weather changes there are many ways to stay active. Some ideas for indoor exercise

Fitness For Seniors BOBBI MOGER include: • Indoor walking—at the mall, hockey arena, other indoor walking and running tracks • Join a gym—Fitness centres provide a wide variety of exercise options including fitness classes and gym programs • Indoor sports—Many sports can be played indoors including: badminton, squash, carpet bowling, dance etc. Check with your local rec centre or senior’s centre • Aqua training—warm water fitness classes,

lap swimming or walking in warm water is a great, low impact way to exercise with low risk of injury • Mind/body classes—Pilates, yoga, chair yoga (for individuals who cannot get down on the floor) are held in halls, studios, and other venues.

These activities help to develop core strength, balance, posture, flexibility and encourage relaxation.

If you prefer exercise in the convenience of your own home: Consider purchasing some exercise equipmentthere is a wide range of cardio machines and strength training equipment to suit your budget.

Dance—Throw on your favourite playlist and let loose in the privacy of your living room.

to comfort food when the temperatures drop is a sure fire way to gain weight.

To prevent winter weight gain there are lower-calorie and caloriefree ways to create a comforting feeling. Below are tips from “Wellness Matters:” • Homemade hot chocolate with lowfat milk and real cocoa powder • Mac and cheese made of whole-grain pasta with veggies with lean meat added to make it a well-balanced meal • Hearty homemade soups, stews or chili emphasizing lean meat, legumes and vegetables • Warm fruit crisps— apple, berry or rhubarb— with oats served in a healthy portion • Mashed potatoes made with chicken stock or milk instead of cream or butter • Spaghetti or pasta dishes made with wholegrain noodles, tomato sauce and lean meat • Meatloaf made from ground turkey, chicken or extra lean beef For more information on Seniors Indoor Exercise Programs please call 250317-3508.

Vulnerable seniors need community Darryl Plecas Contributor

Seniors are an important part of our communities.

They are our parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, mentors, neighbours and friends.

The B.C. government wants them to enjoy the fullest life possible and that includes making sure they feel safe.

Sometimes, as they age, seniors become targets of abuse.

Estimates show between four and 10 per cent of seniors will experience some form of physical, emotional, financial or sexual abuse, or neglect.

Elder abuse can be very difficult to detect. Seniors are often reluctant to report abuse by family members. Consequently, it is significantly underreported.

The work that the Office of the Seniors Advocate is doing with regard to how these cases are reported is an important step in the continued efforts to end this unfortunate reality.

Elder abuse is always unacceptable. Every one of us has a role to play in ending elder abuse. The societal and attitudinal shift to support and respect seniors’ dignity and independence will come from within our communities.

Darryl Plecas

We all need a helping hand once in a while, and as a government we recognize that it takes a community to support vulnerable seniors. This means the community they live in as well as the community of experts who will help build strategies and plans to end elder abuse.

In 2013, we brought together a community of experts to form a provincial, multi-sector Council to Reduce Elder Abuse. It includes financial, health care, public safety and community outreach experts and, most importantly, seniors.

The council’s work is guided by the provincial plan Together to Reduce Elder Abuse—B.C.’s Strategy.

Raising awareness is the first step. Please share your thoughts and experiences to help bring this issue to the forefront by using the hash tag: #RespectSeniors.

A large part of our government’s direction in creating a more sustainable health care system is centred around our growing seniors’ population. Seniors want to be able to live independently for as long as possible. We are working to support that goal with our Setting Priorities for the B.C. Health System document that is guiding our path forward in all areas of the health system, including home and community care.

Liberal MLA Darryl Plecas is the Parliamentary Secretary for Seniors.

PROTECT WILDLIFE

*IN N SELECT AREAS.

Keep animals out of your garbage They’re hungry, beefing up for winter hibernation, and your garbage may be just the smorgasbord they’re looking for.

“We’re talking about wildlife, bears in particular at this time of year,’ says Regional District of the Central Okanagan waste reduction facilitator Rae Stewart.

“Now that fall is almost here, many animals are preparing for their long winter sleep, and they’re hungry and on the prowl for food. The best advice, if you live in an area susceptible to wildlife visitors, is to reduce the risk of conflict by taking responsibility for your trash.”

Stewart reminds residents not to put their garbage, recycling or yard waste carts out for collection until the morning of their actual collection day. “Bears and other animals have a keen sense of smell, so the idea is not to attract them to your garbage unnecessarily. If they find your waste, not only can they make a real mess, but they can pose a risk to you and your family, your pets, or to themselves by attracting the totally preventable attention of conservation officers.”

IS CE SPAMITED LI

The BC Conservation Foundation WildsafeBC website also suggests keeping your garbage in a secured shed or garage until pickup day, and recommends not stockpiling or burying garbage.

As well, it reminds us that fish and meat remains should not be left outside and suggests freezing or keeping them in a cool place until they can be placed into the garbage on your collection day.

Stewart adds: “Some residents have had success with using bungee straps to secure the lid of their waste carts. Keep in mind though, any security devices you choose to deter wildlife from your trash must be released on the day of your collection so the lid can open freely and the container contents be emptied into the automated truck.”

You’re also reminded to take care with what you

Are You Taking Care of Your Shoulder Pain? Discover a New Option.

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.

DR. RYAN HARRIS

Therapy, the only therapy I found to get rid of my pain and heal my injury.

Shockwave, developed to break up kidney stones, can break down scar tissue and stimulate new blood vessel growth, promoting proper muscle function and restarting the healing process.

It is in those injuries that have lingered for months or years where shockwave shines. If you have chronic shoulder injuries, don’t give up hope. If I had, I would not be in practice today.

Glenmore Chiropractic

Most therapies have an affect only on new injuries that are days to weeks old. Once scar tissue forms and healing stops (chronic), we are at the mercy of the injury.

Over and over in my practice I hear, “I have been dealing with this injury for months or years and tried everything. Nothing has worked… what do I do?”

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

Rockets duo packs offensive punch Warren Henderson

Forward Nick Merkley led the Rockets with 90 points in 2014-15.

AARON BELL/CHL

Few Western Hockey League teams had success consistently shutting down Rourke Chartier and Nick Merkley last season.

Opponents will no doubt have their hands full again in 2015-16 as one of major junior hockey’s most perilous duos is expected to reunite for another campaign with the Kelowna Rockets.

Despite missing 14 games, Chartier, 19, scored 48 goals and had 82 points last season.

Merkley, 18, the WHL’s rookie of the year the previous season, had 20 goals and 90 points to lead all Rockets and finished sixth overall in league scoring. He added another five goals and 27 points in the postseason.

As the numbers would indicate, Merkley was far more often the set-up man, while Chartier was the finisher—although both players have proven the opposite scenario can be true.

Chartier said he and Merkley thrived in their roles last season and hopes both can push their game to another level this year.

“Nick and I got to be the go-to guys last year

WARREN HENDERSON/CAPITAL NEWS

whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Rourke Chartier scored 48 goals for the WHL’s Kelowna Rockets last season. and when you get the chance, you run with it.

We were able to produce at a pretty good rate,” Chartier said. “I guess I look at this year as a bit more pressure, but both of us are older and I’d say more confident, so we’re both excited about trying

to take another step forward.”

Both players are off to NHL training camps this week, with Chartier leaving for San Jose Wednesday and Merkley heading to Arizona Coyotes camp on Friday.

While the two are

expected to return to the Rockets for the 201516 regular campaign, assistant GM Lorne Frey said with today’s climate in pro hockey, there are no guarantees.

Because it’s not overly unusual for NHL teams to retain teenaged players

out of training camp, Frey said the Rockets need to be prepared for any outcome.

“The way the league (NHL) is now, who knows,” said Frey. “It depends what teams need, how they see young players fitting in with them, you never know.

“Obviously we’d love to have both guys back,” he added, “but if one goes, then we wish them the best. That’s all part of the process, part of the business.”

Merkley, who signed an entry-level deal with the Coyotes last week, intends on having a strong camp with Arizona but fully expects to be back in Kelowna this fall.

And with the team the Rockets are returning, the Calgary native can’t think of many better places to spend the season.

“Every player goes to (NHL) camp hoping to make it, I’m no different and I want to make it a hard decision for them,” Merkley said. “But to be realistic, at 18, it probably won’t be this year.

“We (the Rockets) are set up to have another really good season and take another run at this.

I’m super excited about being part of that.”

If the dynamic duo does return intact for 2015-16, Frey said the Rockets should be wellpositioned to contend for another WHL title.

“Obviously, the two

of them make us a much better team,” said Frey.

“They’re high-end players in our league who can make a big difference.”

Playing for Canada at this year’s the world junior hockey championship is also on the radar for Chartier and Merkley who both attended Hockey Canada’s development camp this summer in Calgary.

Chartier was a late deletion from last year’s Canadian squad.

“It wasn’t a great feeling getting cut last year,” Chartier said.

“That’s extra motivation to make it this year.”

“It’s every kid’s dream,” Merkley said of the potential of playing at world juniors. “I’d like to be there with Rourke.”

ROCKET SHOTS…In ad-

dition to Chartier and Merkley, six other Rockets head to pro camps this week—Tyson Baillie and Tomas Soustal (Calgary), Justin Kirkland (Nashville), Devante Stephens (Buffalo), Cole Linaker (Edmonton) and Jackson Whistle (Vancouver)…

Solid start for Heat women’s soccer over the Manitoba Bisons.

The game was played indoors due to severe weather conditions in Winnipeg.

“It was a good start to our season and we are very happy to capture three points,” head coach Claire Paterson said after the match. “I thought the team did well to adjust and stay focused with having to move the match inside at the last minute due to weather.”

Lake Country’s Joella

Kobilschke made three saves for the shutout in her CIS debut for UBCO. Another rookie, Kaylin Ferguson, was named the Heat’s player of the game.

On Saturday, Ferguson, from Pickering, ON, was at it again as the Heat earned a 1-1 draw with the Winnipeg Wesmen.

Ferguson scored her first CIS goal and was a key instigator in the offence as UBCO generated 24 shots compared to 18 by

Manitoba.

The player of the match for the Heat was freshman centre-back Lindsey Berthelson.

Paterson may have found a quality young back field combo with Berthesen and second year Emma Nelsen, praising the pair adding that she “was very impressed with the new centre-back partnership of Emma and Lindsey.

Both matches they were fantastic.”

Ask Dr. Thiel MARKUS THIEL the checklist.

“OK. Tell me what you eat in a day and how often,”I said.

Mostly, his diet was good, but not excellent.

Next, I asked him what he does for fun, enjoyment, what I called “decompression time.”

And there it was. He looked at me with that 1,000 yard stare, deer in the headlights kind of genre.

Cutting through the uncomfortable silence, I asked: “What kinds of exercise do you like most?”

You guessed it, more silence. He felt that his work was physical enough and contributed to his version of exercise.

Translated: I don’t

exercise. Not at all. Haven’t for a long time. No plans in the future of doing it,either.

Problem solved, I thought. There is much we need to do here but first and foremost, we needed to define exercise.

Exercise is a nasty word, it’s like the word should, and it infers something we know we should do but aren’t doing.

That equals shame. So let’s change the way we see the activity. Let’s call it dynamic elevation. Simply, it’s about movement.

First rule: It’s not exercise if you do not change your shoes for the activity.

But I will make it very simple for us all, it’s called “The 7 hour rule.”

This rule states that you need to be outdoors for at least, but no less than seven hours every week.

walking, hiking, cycling, swimming, or the like.

Just get outdoors with intention. It does not include gardening, taking out the garbage, cutting the lawn, picking up dog poop, or similar ‘have to do’ things.

Exercise—sorry, dynamic elevation, is something we do to elevate our state. It’s something deliberate and intentional that emphasizes movement.

It does not have to necessarily happen in a gym or a studio. It’s about movement.

Jerod Kintz has said: “A stationary bike is a device that epitomizes the phrase hurry up and wait.”

Hundreds of studies have supported and demonstrated the importance of this.

I’m by no means

original in this ideology.

Our bodies, minds and physiology are set up for this.

It is hard wired into our central nervous system.

We are made to move and movement is movement. So move.

The physiological and emotional benefits are profound.

Take your children for a bike ride. Walk your dog.

Hold hands with your wife on a walk after dinner. Go geocaching.

Snowshoe. Have an adventure. No growth takes place within your comfort zone.

Just move. It is that simple.

Call it what you want–just get moving I had a patient today. I thought about him long after our visit.

He is very intelligent.

But conflicted.

He is in his early 60s and, well, he’s looking for answers.

He was, in his words, feeling “mortal” and wanting to know what to do about it. I’m in my 50s so I got it.

In feeling mortal, he means that he hurts in the morning, he bruises more readily, if he does the most mundane tasks like vacuuming, painting, or God forbid, cleaning the gutters, he hurts for two days afterwards.

He doesn’t sleep as well as he once did. He wakes exhausted. He’s tired most of the time and simply doesn’t feel as positive as he once used to.

He has gained weight, which is unusual for him and states he just does not feel well overall, most of the time.

PUNSVIK - OLVE Of Kelowna, passed away on August 25th, 2015 in Kelowna. Skiing into any and all winter wonderlands pretty much sums up Olve Punsvik.

He was a lover of the great outdoors, his wife Elene (predeceased 2005), and his daughters Karen (predeceased 1999) and Lynn. He always spoke of his grandchildren Alix, Erik and Elise as any proud grandfather would. Anyone who had the good fortune to meet Olve would agree honest, hardworking and generally a great guy to be around would describe him. Olve was born in Ballangen, Norway on April 8th, 1925. As a young man he made his way to Canada and decided to stay after meeting his sweetheart Elene Johanson. Elene told the story that she was holding out for a blue eyed Norwegian and when “Punch” showed up she was hooked. They made a great pair and had two lovely daughters Karen and Lynn. Olve is survived by his daughter Lynn Juillet (Art), grandchildren Alix, Erik and Elise, his brother Jens (Eva) and many nieces and nephews. A celebration of life will be held at the home of Art and Lynn on Friday, October 2 from 7-10pm. Please come and join family and friends as they raise a glass, toast to a great man, and share stories and memories of Olve.

SHERSTOBITOFF, LUCY March 16, 1930 – September 02, 2015 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Lucy Sherstobitoff, the loving, caring wife of George Sherstobitoff to whom she was married for 67 years. She passed away peacefully on Wednesday, September 02, 2015 in her home in West Kelowna with her husband and family by her side. Lucy was born in Glade, BC on March 16, 1930 and was an excellent student in school. She moved to the Kelowna area with her ‘future husband George’ where they picked fruit in the Okanagan before getting married in Glade, then settling in Lakeview Heights (now West Kelowna). Lucy proudly worked very hard alongside George in the orchard they managed for over 40 years for Leo Douillard. Lucy was a fabulous cook and her borscht, pies and cheesecake were renowned. Her large gardens were always pristine and bountiful. Lucy was a skilled seamstress and created many intricate outfits with care and detail. She was very active and enjoyed square dancing (including travelling to Seattle and Spokane), bowling and curling (having a rare 8-ender), and loved boating and fishing. Lucy loved to travel with George, and especially enjoyed their many holidays with friends in Hawaii. Lucy had a life time membership at the Westbank Yacht Club, where she elegantly modelled on many occasions. Lucy loved her family immensely, and was always there for her children and grandchildren, and of course her loving husband who was in turn there for her.

She had numerous friends throughout her life who adored her. Lucy truly was the most beautiful person both inside and out. Lucy will be remembered for her grace and her kindness to everyone she encountered. Lucy is survived by her husband George; children Walter (Karen) Sherstobitoff, John (Stephanie) Sherstobitoff and Elaine Kupser; grandchildren Jeff Sherstobitoff, Tim Sherstobitoff, Laura (Jordan) Sanders, Kelly Sherstobitoff, Lindsay Kupser and Sara Sherstobitoff; and sister Nellie (Sid) Shukin, brother Alec (Lucy) Wasilenkoff, and sister-in-law Marge Wasilenkoff. Lucy was predeceased by her brother John Wasilenkoff. A Celebration of Lucy’s Life will be held on September 26th, 1pm – 3pm, at the West Kelowna Yacht Club, 4111 Gellatly Road, West Kelowna, BC.The family wishes to thank Dr. Dean Griswold, Patricia at Interior Health and special friend and caregiver Meghan Graham for their years of care and support. The family also wishes to thank Kathleen, Anne and the Palliative Care staff and granddaughter Laura for their very special care during Lucy’s last days at home, as well as all the friends and family that visited and called with kind words of support.

DAKIN, MICHAEL GORDON February 11, 1940 – August 28, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Michael Gordon Dakin. He passed away August 28, 2015 after a short courageous battle with cancer.

Predeceased by his mother Jessie Hughes earlier this year Michael leaves behind his loving partner Gerda, son Bradley, brothers Ted (Diann) Dakin of Tsawwassen, Pat (Trish) Dakin of Vernon, grandson Sammy, nephews Brett and Cameron (Michele) Dakin and niece Cara (Tobias). Although Michael enjoyed the outdoors and was an avid hiker he was happiest when he had a carpentry project on the go. He loved reading and playing a competitive game of scrabble. Michael spent a large part of his life in Houston, BC where he operated his own helicopter base and later built and managed a golf course before retiring in the Okanagan. The family wishes to extend their gratitude to the doctors and nurses of the 6th Floor (West) of the Royal Bldg at KGH for their excellent care as well as the staff at the Hospice House. A Celebration of Life will be held on September 27th from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm at the clubhouse at 3999 Sonoma Pines Dr, at the corner of Terrero Place in West Kelowna.

Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

WALLACE HILDEBRAND

February 10, 1928 – September 1, 2015 On Tuesday, September 1, 2015, Wally took his last breath on earth so that he could cast his line in the peaceful waters of the trout lakes in the sky.

Wallace (Wally) was born in Medicine Hat, Alberta to Emmanuel and Lydia (Stickel) Hildebrand on February 10, 1928. He spent his childhood on the sunny streets of that small town before moving with his family to the Wetaskiwin area in his teens. His family started to farm just north of town but an accident to his mother led to a move into Wetaskiwin. In 1952 he knew he was lucky to marry lovely Lorraine (Johns).

Wally was a tinkerer, interested in anything with a motor, and worked for Pahal Motors in Wetaskiwin until 1956 when he was lured to the Bonnie Glen Gas Plant. He was a licensed mechanic at the facility for 25 years. Wally and Lorraine built a home on Silver Beach at Pigeon Lake, and raised their family, worked with neighbours to build their community and made life long friends there. In 1979 the warmth of the Okanagan Valley called to Wally so he and Lorraine moved to the shores of Lake Okanagan in Westbank. For 35 years Wally and Lorraine welcomed family and friends to their beautiful home on the lake, volunteered for many church and community enterprises, and enjoyed the idyllic seasons of the valley. Wally was a great fisherman, a constant gardener, enjoyed country music and traveling, especially camping and loved anything with wheels. We lost count of the number of vehicles he possessed in his lifetime however we all knew where his true love lay; he sold his car when he married to buy a bed!

He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather and a true friend. He will be missed.

Wally is survived by his wife of 63 years, Lorraine; children Judy and Ron Wiebe of Kamloops, Noreen and Don Odell of Red Deer, Karen Hildebrand and Dieter Sander of Kelowna, and Dale Hildebrand and Doreen Saunderson of Calgary; grandchildren Kristy Davies and Marcus Eriksson of Vancouver, Jason Davies and Sarah Rosenthal of North Vancouver and Sandra Davies and Paul Henderson of Campbell River, Andrea and Steve Swainson of Sylvan Lake, Erin Odell and Matt Morris of Red Deer; great-grandchildren Mio Eriksson, and Anne, Spencer, and William Swainson; sisters Gladys McConnell, Esther Dahms and Francis Steves and their families. He was predeceased by his parents, brother Harry, son Rodney and great-grandson Stephen Jr. At Wally’s request there will be no service. His remains will be interred with his son Rodney in Wetaskiwin. His family wishes to thank his caregivers of the past years for their care and compassion. If so desired, donations may be made in Wally’s memory to Parkinson Society Canada.

Economy WHAT’S UP IN BUSINESS

MAXINE DEHART How time flies! The 18th Annual Maxine DeHart, United Way – Ramada Hotel DriveThru Breakfast is fast approaching on Thursday, Oct. 1, from 6 to 9 a.m.

We will be filling and distributing 1,500 of the famous breakfast bags sponsored by Interior Savings Credit Union. All the existing and new sponsors and volunteers are all gearing up with overwhelming enthusiasm for this year’s event. New sponsors are Kelowna Chrysler, Hatch Winery, M & H Auto Sales and Moving Supplies, Shoppers Drug Mart Cosmetics and Gloria-Jean Seymours new inspirational colouring books for kids.

Gemologist Michelle Urbanovitch of Party Rocks Jewellery has once again donated a major prize of a stunning ladies 14 karat yellow gold “Have A Heart Diamond Ring” with an appraised value of $1,732. If anyone would like to donate a gift certificate, gift cards or coupons, please give me a call at 250-8627662 or 250-979-4546.

Everything is heartfully appreciated to make this event a success.

Tim Horton’s will be on hand to serve their famous coffee and Timbits will be in all the bags.

Big White will be donating a lift pass for every bag valued at $75 for opening day at Big White, which makes the value of the bags well over $135. I.A. Pacific Life and Terry Wardrop of Wealthlink Financial Services are on board again in a big way, this being their 18th year and the very first sponsor to come on board 18 years ago.

IGA, our very own Sun Rype Products, Progres sive Waste, Island Farms, Kozy Shack Pudding (comes all the way from Hicksville, N.Y. USA), Old Dutch, Nestles and Arby’s will all be on hand. Of course, the Kelowna Capital News has sponsored in a huge way, as has Bell Media,

JUDI ID#376329

1 YEAR 2 MOS DOMESTIC MED HAIR SPAYED FEMALE

2 YEARS APPROX. VEILED CHAMELOON FEMALE

Dixie would love the chance to be your best friend. She loves to socialize and show off. She still has a kittenish way about her and loves to be active.

She’ll roll over for chin scratches and is very good at her grooming. We think Dixie is a bit of a diva and would prefer a home where she is the only resident animal. Please come down and introduce yourself to her, if you feel you can give her a wonderful life.

Judi had somehow wandered away from her previous home, but luckily she was found and brought to the shelter. She will need a new guardian that has lots of experience with reptiles and done their research regarding her specific needs and requirements. Judi has not had a lot of human contact and is more of a ‘hands-off’ type girl right now, but with slow, gentle socialization she could come out of her shell and accept being handled for short periods of time. If you would like to know more please ask the staff.

DANTE ID# 378672 5 YEARS PITT BULL TERRIER NEUTERED MALE

Dante thinks he is a lap dog, but he is not. He is needing a home where he will be understood and meet his needs. He is strong with a large personality and we highly recommend that you his new guardian have extensive experience. He will need further training, he needs to be in a home where he is the ONLY dog, and he must meet ALL members of your household before a final adoption can be approved. If you feel you can give him the home he deserves and make him the best he can be, ask the staff to set up a private introduction.

7 YEARS ROTTWEILER X FEMALE (SPAYED ???)

Gerti is a true loving & soulful gal. We know nothing of her background, but believe she had a hard life and now it’s her time to find a home where humans will show her how giving, caring & loving they can be. She is a calm, mature girl who would be a good walking partner... just short ones to begin with. She is a tad on the chunky side so a slow weight reduction program would be in her best interest. You just have to look at Gerti and say hello to put a smile in her eye and a wag on her tail. She has lots of love to give the right family.

He is excellent on leash, would make a great S-L-O-W walking partner, and only asks for a loving gentle hand & voice to make his remaining years the happiest ever. If you have the perfect home for this great senior, as the staff to set up a meet and greet, he can hardly wait to see you.

Felix is a very calm, level-headed guy who would love a chance to become your best bud! He loves to chatter and thinks interaction is just the greatest! A home where he could be the centre of attention would be ideal as he loves to be around humans. If he sounds like a match for you and your heart, come on down and spend some time getting to know him...he will do his best to win you over.

NIBBLES ID#378465 11 MONTH HAMSTER FEMALE

Keira is a real soulful gal. You can see it in her eyes, that she’s been hurt in the past...but no more! It is imperative that she goes to a patient, understanding and loving home. She is fearful, so approaching slowly will build up her trust.

It will take a very special guardian who can help her gain trust and build a bond.

She will eventually make an excellent walking, running partner. She has a fear of thunder & orchard cannons, so must be kept inside when these situations occur.

If you are ready to have a cuteness fix, then you have to come and meet Nibbles. She loves to be held and cuddled...just not smothered. If you have a preferences for small pets and are ready to offer your home and heart, then please come down and spend some time getting to know Nibbles. She can hardly wait to meet you.
