Kelowna couple help rescue family Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

When Kelowna couple James and Wendy Scorgie saw three little pairs of shoes lined up at a doorway of an apartment they’d arranged to stay at in Turkey this June, they breathed a sigh of relief.

They immediately realized that their friend and her three little

boys had a shot at a life free of the horrors of the Syrian war.

“It was pretty moving,” said James. “We didn’t know if they were there. We got on the plane to Istanbul and had no idea if they made it to the small apartment we’d arranged for them. But they did.”

It’s only one step in the long effort the Scorgies have put forth to help their friend Marwa and

her three children, find safety as the country they once knew was torn apart by war.

They’re hoping Kelowna can come together even more than they’ve already done and help them get one step closer to real security.

The Scorgies met Marwa in 2001, when they worked together at a private school in Aleppo, Syria. In better times

Wendy Scorgie worked there in the library and James was the head of the school.

Back then it was a country filled with beauty and kindness, James said, but it was clear years ago that those times would come to an end.

“For months we listened to old friends talk about what it was like to see their home erode,”

“But when things started to get bad in Syria, you could tell…people were fretting, and getting desperate.”

Now the Scorgies want to reunite her with her husband.

“Germany is safe and we just want her to be safe,” said James, adding that they’d want to help her come to Canada, where she could work and contribute in the way they knew she would want to.

With that in mind, they have a Gofundme page named Rescue Marwa collecting donations that will go to helping the family.

“There are a lot of people who weren’t over there with us, who have helped with this,” said James.

The page, to date, is three-quarters of the way toward a $10,000 goal to help the family get on their feet.

It’s something that the Scorgies are pleasantly surprised to see come together. “How many times you can donate to something and you know that your donation is affecting the entire future of a family,” said Wendy.

“You donate to the Red Cross, or anything, you don’t know how much is going to administrative costs, or whatever.

This money goes directly to help those little boys and they need help.”

The Scorgies said they realize that Marwa and her boys are lucky compared to the many more who haven’t had any help.

The sad horror of young Alyan Kurdi’s death on the beaches of Turkey has brought a renewed global attention to the plight of millions of Syrian refugees.

“It is heartening to hear everyday Canadians pleading with our government to streamline the process to help some of these people find refuge in Canada,” they said on the GoFundMe page.

“To hear though, that only nine families are currently on the list of those who have been vetted and found to be suitable for private sponsorship within Canada, seems incredible.”

easy feat, however. “She got there by bus,” James said. “It used to be a four hour drive, now it’s an 18 hour drive where a guy collects extra money, because there are checkpoints by this group or that group along the way.

“During that bus ride, she told us, a number of young men were pulled off the bus and forced into military service for one group or the other…nobody knew who.”

From Damascus they flew to Beirut, then they were bused to Istanbul. Her three boys, ages three, seven and eight, were in a place they could go outside for the first time in their lives, but it’s not exactly safe.

Marwa speaks English in addition to her mother tongue, not Turkish, and she won’t be able to find work. She’s been ousted from the small apartment that had been arranged for her, in favour of someone who will pay higher rent.

In the meantime she’s moved in with her sister.

“Marwa is driven…she’s stuck in Turkey. As a single woman in that part of the world, you don’t have a lot of authority,” James said.

WEST KELOWNA Dream of new police building one step closer Council passes on IH laundry issue Alistair Waters awaters@kelonwacapnews.com

Kelowna’s largest municipal construction project in recent years is now underway.

Shovels, albeit ceremonial, hit the ground last Wednesday as Mayor Colin Basran and RCMP Supt. Nick Romanchuk officially marked the beginning of construction of the city’s new $48-million police services building at Clement Avenue and Richter Street.

“The city takes crime prevention seriously,” said Basran.

“Investing in a new RCMP facility will improve efficiencies and keep pace with safety needs in our growing community.”

The new threestorey, 9,000-squaremetre building will replace the much smaller existing Doyle Avenue detachment.

It will also allow the RCMP to bring all its units under one roof.

Currently services such

as its forensics unit are housed in rented space elsewhere in the city.

The existing Doyle Avenue detachment building, which dates back to the early 1960s when the city had a population of just 14,000 (it now has a population over 122,000), is deemed too small.

It is also in deteriorating condition, despite additions and extensive repairs in recent years.

That building will be demolished when the new detachment opens in 2017 and the city is currently deciding what to do with the prime downtown site as part of its Civic Block deliberations.

The building is the biggest project the city will tackle this year.

It includes the building, on-site parking, road and utilities improvements along Clement Avenue and intersection improvements at the nearby intersection of Clement and Richter.

Romanchuck, who

oversees 182 officers at the Kelowna detachment, said he can’t wait to get into the new building.

He said the existing detachment is very cramped quarters, the cell block is “like a dungeon” and one person working there literally works in a closet.“Its a very outdated building,” he said.

The building will be three times larger than the existing detachment, will be expandable as future needs dictate and is expected to be complete by the spring of 2017. It is also expected to last more than 50 years.

West Kelowna city council has decided it will not write a letter to the Interior Health Authority board of directors asking them to refrain from privatizing hospital laundry services.

While Couns. Rusty Ensign and Rosalind Neis supported a motion to write a letter to the board opposing the contract that would cost 28 workers at Kelowna General Hospital their jobs, the rest of council moved to deny the motion.

Council generally didn’t want to see the service privatized, Coun. Bryden Winsby for one saying it was with great reluctance he wouldn’t support the motion, which was defeated by a 5-2 vote.

“For West Kelowna to become involved in the laundry privatization issue, they would have to expand their mandate,” explained Mayor Doug Findlater.

city staff recommended the application for approval be turned down.

“What you are talking about here is a small hotel,” said Coun. Maxine DeHart who, along with four other councilors and the mayor, voted against the proposal.

The family owns farm land throughout the Okanagan and said they require as many as 350 workers this year to bring in their crops. But it needed accommodation for the workers, many of whom come from Mexico and Cuba to work here.

While the buildings would only be used for 50 days in the year, the Sandhers argued that it would be more economical and use up less agricultural land to go with its plan than to scatter farm worker accommodation across a number of areas.

But Mayor Colin Basran said city regulations do not allow what was being

He added the provincial Agricultural Land Commission, which regulates use of agricultural land in B.C., has said if an application for such permanent housing comes before the commission, it will be rejected.

Despite the majority being opposed, the plan did have some support on council.

Both Couns. Mohini Singh and Charlie Hodge said they felt the proposal had merit, but both acknowledged it would likely not be approved by the ALC.

Marshall Neufeld couldn’t have hoped for a better visitor to drop in on his campaign.

The Conservative candidate for South Okanagan-West Kootenay hosted Prime Minister Stephen Harper during a support rally at Brutus Truck Co. on last Sunday night.

“For (Neufeld) the economy is his number one priority,” Harper said.

“It’s all about creating and protecting jobs, lowering leases and helping families here in the Okanagan.”

There were around 700 supporters at the invite-only event.

Leading up to the Prime Minister’s appearance, Neufeld touched on the importance of a solid economy and safe country. The crowd began chanting “Harper” and “Canada” in anticipation, right before the Conservative campaign bus rolled into the building.

Many of the issues that are forefront on the campaign trail were addressed, though Harper spent the majority of his 25-minute speech focused on the economy.

“The wrong decisions at the national level will cause downsizing, closures, business closures, and jobs losses across the country, including communities just like here in Penticton.”

The most plausible alternative governments —Liberal and NDP—will spend recklessly, Harper argued, which will cause deficits and force tax hikes.

“Our economy is not some theory in a classroom—it is how you create jobs; how you put food on the table; how we save for our future.

We cannot tax or borrow our way to prosperity.”

Connie Denesiuk, Liberal candidate for South Okanagan-West Kootenay, defended her party’s promise to run a deficit.

“In order to get the economy moving again, we need to invest in infrastructure,” she said in reference to Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s pledge to run a threeyear, $30-billion deficit for a new infrastructure program. “That money’s not going to be spent on government advertising.”

Denesiuk said the

run seven consecutive deficits since taking office—“We’ll only run three.”

Harper said if a Liberal or NDP government is elected, Canadians with an annual income of $60,000 will be subject to at least $1,000 extra in taxes.

“He’s making stuff up,” said NDP candidate Richard Cannings. “We will not touch the income tax rate of any individual Canadian.

The only tax rates we are going to change right now is we are going to lower the taxes for small businesses from 11 to 9 per cent.”

Denesiuk also argued Harper’s claim. “The Liberals have promised to cut income taxes of people in that bracket from 22 to 20.5 per cent,” she said.

Cannings said the NDP has pledged to raise tax rates only on large corporations.

“Only by a small amount to make it slightly more realistic— they have such low taxes, and they’re just banking that money. They’re not investing it back in jobs; the country.”

While most of Harper’s criticisms were aimed at both parties, he also warned the audience specifically against voting NDP, citing “disastrous” records both times they formed government in British Columbia.

Cannings refuted.

“The 1990s were very good years for the province, better in all economic indicators than the (successive) Liberal government.

NDP governments across the country, if you look at real data, have had the best record for any party of budgets that are balanced.”

Conservative supporter Lee Pixley agreed with the Prime Minister.

“It seems like all the other parties are gung ho to spend our taxes all willy nilly and where are they going to get the money?

They’re just going to keep taxing people to death just like the NDP did here in B.C.—just about ruined this province, and I sure don’t want to see that happen federally.”

Nonetheless, Cannings sees the appetite for change in Canada to be much stronger than support for the status quo. He hosted his party leader, Tom Mulcair, at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre on

“The Conservatives don’t want a public rally, we do,” he said. “We had 1,000 cheering supporters—it was one of the biggest political events in Okanagan history. Harper has a little closed event by invitation only. I think it shows how people are turning to the NDP as the agents of change in Canada.”

Cannings said he didn’t notice any disruptive visitors at Mulcair’s rally, but among the number of Canadians who are embracing change— “I can guess why the Conservatives didn’t want them to be part of their event.”

Harper believes the Conservative Party offers what’s most important to Canadians—lower taxes and balanced budgets which create more jobs.

He said his government has given the Canadian economy a solid foundation to withstand the implications of global instability. Despite the variables beyond their control, “Canada has been an island of stability,” he said.

“We have to make

sure that those who want reckless spending, tax hikes and deficits do not get their hands on managing our economy.”

He warned the Oct. 19 election will offer Canadians two very different paths, and the consequences of choosing wrong will likely be compounded by global economic uncertainty.

The NDP and Liberal parties often talk about infrastructure investment, he said, but the Conservative Party’s ongoing efforts can be seen in progress at places like Kelowna’s Rapid Bus Service, the Apple Valley housing development for seniors, upgrades to Highway 97, and renovations at the Brigadier Angle Armoury.

Harper said the country’s largest infrastructure plan in history is underway, and no borrowing or tax increases were needed to make it happen.

“All while keeping up the fight against the terrorist group ISIS,” he said to a strong applaud, which turned into chants of “strong and free.”

Winter Cometh Winterizing your sprinkler system - removing water from the pipes, valves and sprinkler heads – is essential before freezing occurs. It’s the best way to protect your irrigation investment from potentially serious damage this winter. The most common and effective method is known as a blow out.

Extreme care must be taken when performing a blow out. Excessive pressure can damage valves or sprinkler pipes or cause physical injury from flying debris. Never stand over irrigation pipes, sprinklers or valves during this process and it is recommended to use a reputable irrigation contractor to perform the blow out.

When choosing a contractor for a blow out, price should not be your determining factor. An incorrectly performed blow out can result in expensive repairs in the spring. Choose a contractor who is established in your area; they will be around in the spring if you have problems. Most reputable contractors will fix any problems caused during the blow out in the spring under warranty.

Book your blow out with a reputable firm soon to avoid having to wait until too late in the season. Most contractors cannot warranty a blow out done too late in the season as damage may have occurred from the colder temperatures, rather than their procedures.

If you have any questions or wish to have us recommend a contractor, please drop by to see us or call us.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Time to show compassion for Syrian refugees The debate around how to help Syrian refugees, fleeing a vicious civil war and expanding Islamic State terrorism, has become something of a political football in Canada. It’s to be expected that various parties during the election would make various claims on the best approach.

But this is a matter, to recall to our ancient forbears, is beyond politics. The publication of the photo that went around the world—that of three-year-old Syrian refugee Alan Kurdi, is ample evidence of that.

Canada, not its politicians, needs to respond in a way that allows us to alleviate as much suffering as possible arising from this tragedy in Syria. Canadians are compassionate people and there is ample precedent for helping those in need. We need only recall when in the 1980s thousands of Vietnamese ‘boat people’ were taken in by this country.

Compassion has to supersede politics in this matter but other questions arise of Canadians wanting to respond.

While dramatic and serious events like the Syrian crisis are few and far between, there is no lack of other events seeking our charitable response.

It’s important to analyze how useful and effective such charitable “trends” are, often spurred on by heartwrenching photos, and where they go after the outrage dies down and the public moves on to the next hot issue.

We can look beyond the migrant crisis in Europe to any number of countries that would benefit from the aid and compassion of Canadians. And it is right and good that we continue to do what we can.

And for every trendy hashtag and its accompanying global outrage, there are local issues which, perhaps at times lacking the same hype and glamour, still need our attention.

We are limited in what we can do, but the key is to act with compassion and empathy when we can, and leave the politics to the politicians.

No option to vote Green in K-LC It’s official. If you’re a Green Party City supporter living in Confidential the Kelowna-Lake Country riding, you ALISTAIR don’t have a Green WATERS candidate to vote for in this federal election.

That’s because the man nominated to be the Green candidate, Gary Adams, has followed through with his vow not to run in the election despite having the party’s nomination and refusing use it.

Adams had said he would withdraw from the race if he won the nomination in order to support Liberal candidate Stephen Fuhr and funnel Green votes to him in an bid to unseat incumbent Conservative Ron Cannan.

On Tuesday morning, Zena Ryder, CEO of the Kelowna-Lake Country Green Electoral District Association, announced the association will not be running a candidate in the riding. And, she said, because Adams’ name will not be on the ballot, he is free to support any other candidate.

The Green Party had said its constitution does not allow a Green candidate to support another party’s candidate. But Dan Ryder, Zena’s husband and the man who came up with “co-operation” deal with the Liberals, argued that although Adams’ plan was “not in line” with the Green constitution, that did not mean it was not allowed.

The Green deal with Fuhr requires the Liberal, if elected, to consult regularly with the Green EDA in return for Adams not running.

“While Adams (name) will not appear on the ballot,

the Kelowna federal Green Party executive will not be endorsing or supporting another political party or candidate in order to avoid creating any false impression that the Green Party endorses another party,” said Ryder in her news release.

“As there will be no Green Party candidate to campaign or vote for, Adams and other members are free to volunteer as individuals for any campaign or candidate they wish, in the Kelowna-Lake Country riding or others. This decision applies only in the KelownaLake Country riding and is not applicable in any other riding, including adjacent ridings like Central OkanaganSimilkameen-Nicola.”

So, unless the federal party steps in and orders the Kelowna-Lake Country Green EDA to nominate a new candidate—something its says it won’t do—Green supporters will have to either vote for another party’s candidate or not vote at all.

The Greens pride themselves on being grassroots driven, and while he admitted yesterday there was some concern at the federal level about not having a candidate in the riding, party communications director Julian Morelli said the party was happy to see the issue settled by consensus ”at the grassroots level.”

But local Green Party members, supporters and those just wanting to vote Green because they agree with the party’s position on issues have been badly treated by Adams, the local EDA and the federal party.

It’s as close as you can get to taking away their vote, without actually taking it away.

And that, despite the rhetoric, is not a very grassroots way of doing things.

REFUGEE CRISIS

ladies sizes 5-12 extra narrow to extra wide

Canada should help refugees stay home the millions of others, or is it just a select few that we save in order to feel better so that we can continue our civilized lifestyle dealing with other important issues like dogs pooping in parks? The contrast is ridiculous but real.

What we must continue to do is demonstrate that a much better world exists in countries like ours full of many cultures and beliefs. Most of these troubled people would prefer to remain in their region and be proud of their culture, families and country. If only they had the rest of us to help them fight for what is right.

The present tragedy importantly reminds us of what we must do. I only wish that more

Canada is at a crossroads To the editor: In this federal election the future of Canada and its role on the world stage is at a crossroads. We are faced with problems and opportunities that are complex and far reaching in their scope.

For example, our role in a national economic strategy, climate change, energy dependency and new energy development, national sovereignty and related international trade agreements, international affairs,the refugee crises, food security, healthcare, education and unemployment (to name only a few). The great and complex problems that we must deal with require input, discussion, negotiation and debate from a broad range of viewpoints.

We are a nation of many and varied

backgrounds, viewpoints and ideologies. This is not a weakness, as Canadians this is our strength.

The ability to negotiate and draw upon new and innovative solutions to challenges is a principle of democracy.

Unfortunately our federal government under Stephan Harper has failed to draw upon this resource and is leading us dangerously towards a one-man rule. This cannot serve any interest fairly as it represents a narrow viewpoint and it betrays fair democratic representation.

As a nation we can and must do better than this. I call upon all Canadians to involve themselves in this vital election. Democracy is not a spectator sport.

Dave Carter, Castlegar

SYRIAN REFUGEES

Canada could take in single mothers, orphans To the editor: I believe that the Conservative Party of Canada led by PM Harper is an embarrassment to Canada with how they are treating the refugee crisis currently happening in Europe.

After watching retired former Chief of Defense Rick Hillier speak on the National news yesterday (Sept. 13) I came up with maybe the best solution to satisfy all of our concerns and make Canada look great on the world stage.

Some of the concerns are “how many refugees should we take?” and “how do we vet them to make sure we are not getting terrorists?”

Why not agree to take 50,000 refugees immediately. How you ask? Easy.

Send over a couple of social workers and psychologists and pick orphan children and single mothers with babies. This should pretty much guarantee that we are not getting terrorists. Agree to ship them to Canada immediately by conventional airlines or cruise ships to minimize costs.

In the meantime, put a call out to all Canadians to adopt orphans or take in single mothers with a baby as a foster group. The Canadian government will guarantee child support in the form of paid for education up to and including university for the children, this spreads the costs over at least 15 years.

This would show the world that we are stepping up to do our part and hopefully inspire other countries to do the same.

Richard Callihan, West Kelowna

Deal with ISIS: No refugees To the editor: It seems strange that in the case of the Syrian crisis and resulting refugee movement, the free world powers wouldn’t send in a “fire truck,” i.e. ground forces, to put out the fire burning there instead of just handing out “smoke inhalators”—places of refuge for these multi-thousands of unfortunate people who are fleeing countries of unrest.

Would such refugees not be more at ease in their own country if the enemy of their lifestyle, the ISIS and present rulers were removed or incapacitated?

Why is it that a news reporter can find the ISIS parading about but our military forces can’t? Wouldn’t it be more sensible to fight the inevitable battle on their soil rather than our own?

Both our present opposition political party leaders were opposed to sending our Armed Forces to that area to quell ISIS on their home turf, but now they ridicule our present federal government for not accepting more refugees from Syria.

C.W. Holford, Kelowna

of our political wannabes would demonstrate strength. Ultimately, we must accept the Kelowna Crossing (by CostCo) 140-2463 Hwy 97 778-484-2688 unthinkable and then help to force change for the future. Allowing a handful or even an the Central and South armful of the disadvantaged into Canada inofOkanagan / Similkameen a hurried manner may be politically correct at this time but it does not demonstrate leadership no matter how cold-hearted that reality may seem.

Sharp edges? Yes, indeed. We are a strong, diverse and healthy country. You can be sad, outraged and sympathetic, but your country the Central and South will ultimately fail if that’s all you have to ofOkanagan / Similkameen offer.

Kelowna voters supported CCF To the editor: In the Friday, Sept. 11 Capital News, Kathy Michaels wrote ‘50 Shades of Blue’ looking at Kelowna’s voting history in federal politics.

[As well, in] the federal elections of 1948, 1949 and 1953 Kelowna voters elected O.L. Jones, CCF candidate for the riding of Yale (later Okanagan Boundary). He ably represented the riding and sat on numerous parliamentary committees from 1948-1957.

O.L. Jones had a furniture store on Bernard Avenue and was Kelowna’s mayor from 1930 to 1939.

The CCF (Canadian Co-operative Federation) formed in 1932, was precursor to the NDP party. At their 1933 convention in Regina, the CCF adopted the Regina Manifesto as the party’s program. Goals included universal public pensions, universal health care, children’s allowances, unemployment insurance, and workers’ compensation. [See links on kelownacapnews.com/opinion] Although small in numbers they were able to lobby for and convince governments of the day of the importance of these programs that we now take for granted. Tommy Douglas, likely the most famous CCF founding member, brought in Medicare when he was premier of Saskatchewan in the 1940s.

I’m proud to have been brought up in a CCF family. My father, Art Hughes-Games, was deeply involved in O.L. Jones’ campaigns and the local CCF party.

To the editor: The Syrian refugee crisis is the classic rock and hard place. The photo of the lifeless innocent child on the beach ranks with the saddest pictures I’ve viewed.

Others include building vibrant urban centres; ensuring a healthy, safe, active and inclusive

“The way we work and the areas we have chosen to focus on reflect

It’s taken nine months to figure out, but Kelowna city council has come up with its top priorities for the next 39 months.

Topping the list is water.

According to Mayor Colin Basran, clean and affordable drinking water is at the top of the list because in addition to the city, there are 21 public and private water utilities delivering drinking water to the Kelowna residents and the quality varies— in some cases quite dramatically.

Barsan said while the city does not want to take over any of the water utilities, it is proposing more interconnectivity to increase quality and save hundreds of millions of dollars in improvement costs that the separate utilities are facing in light of rising standards set by both the province and Interior Health.

“The city doesn’t want to take over water boards,” said Basran.

“This is about providing good quality drinking water.”

He said at any given time in the city, there are boil water advisories for some utilities and irrigation districts. He said while some utilities could hook up to each other and some could hook up with the city’s water utility, many water quality issues could be averted and costs could be kept down by interconnectivity.

In the past, water utilities and irrigation districts have resisted calls for amalgamation,joining forces or even working together, viewing them as threats to their independence. Irrigation districts have their own boards and budgets, raise their own taxation funds through inclusion on municipal tax notices and operate independent of local government.

To look at the issue of improving overall drinking water quality in the city, the Kelowna Joint Water Committee is organizing a planning process.

Basran said the process has been mandated by the province and he hopes it will lead to improvements in the entire system.

“The city wants to work with the province and irrigation districts to develop a long-term plan that leads to an integrated and resilient

water system that delivers clean drinking water to all citizens at equitable rates and offers a sustainable water supply

Sun sack attack subdues Raiders

Dube motivated for his sophomore season

Warren Henderson The Okanagan Sun one-upped themselves with a record-setting effort on Sunday afternoon at the Apple Bowl.

The Sun recorded a franchise and BCFCrecord 13 quarterback sacks en route to a 28-7 victory over the rival Vancouver Island Raiders.

Defensive end Jonas Gering led the charge with four sacks, while Lucas Machado added three in the Sun’s assault on the Raiders’ O-line and quarterback Liam O’Brien.

Earlier this season, the Sun had a standardequalling 10 sacks in a 27-3 triumph over the Raiders at Caledona Park in Nanaimo.

The unbeaten Sun (7-0), with yet another dominant performance on defence, has yielded just 43 points in seven games this season “Every one does their job and that opens up the holes for everyone,” Sun defensive lineman Lucas Machado said of the Sun’s latest performance.

“It’s a very unselfish team so it doesn’t really matter who’s getting the sacks, who’s getting the stats. We just know someone is going to get them at some point and that’s what really matters.”

Defensive back Brennan Van Nistelrooy intercepted his sixth pass of the season in the win and leads the entire CJFL in that department.

Head coach Shane Beatty, who turned 46 on Sunday, said it was a nice way to celebrate his

Warren Henderson Between playing with the Kelowna Rockets until May 31 and suiting up for Canada at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament for August in the Czech Republic, it’s the shortest offseason Dillon Dube has ever experienced.

Still, based on what the 17-year-old forward is returning to this fall in Kelowna, Dube can’t wait to get the new Western Hockey League season underway. “(Summer) was short, but it’s really good to be back, and I’ve been looking forward to the season for a while now,” said Dube, a native of Cochrane, Alta. “With the team we have I know a lot of the guys are excited to be back…we want to make the most of it.”

As a rookie in 2014-15, Dube battled injuries but still enjoyed a productive campaign with the WHL champs, scoring 17 goals and adding 10 assists in 45 games.

The 5-foot-10, 180-pound forward saw his role increase as the season progressed and soon found himself playing in all situations, including in the playoffs and at the Memorial Cup. If Dube continues to progress at his current rate, assistant GM Lorne Frey said the Rockets and their fans will be the real beneficiaries over the next

Forward Dillon Dube scored 17 goals in 45 games as a 16-year-old rookie with the Kelowna Rockets last season. couple of seasons.

“He’s a very talented young player and his game has really improved,” Frey said of Dube who the Rockets made their first pick in the 2013 WHL bantam draft. “He’s coming along maybe faster than we thought, so we’re very fortunate.

“He’s an excellent young man, too, who has high expectations of himself and wants to get better. He should be a treat to watch for our team and our fans.”

Rockets’ new head coach Brad Ralph is still getting to know Dube but has seen the young forward ring up two goals and an assist so far in two preseason games.

Not surprisingly, Ralph likes what he’s seen.

“He plays with tremendous pace, a very intelligent and very skilled player, where puck possession is a big part of his game,” Ralph said of Dube. “The work ethic,

the drive is all there…the improvements from here will mostly be situational, learning the game. It will be good watching his continued development into a pro-calibre player.”

And Dube’s play since early last season has garnered plenty of attention from pro scouts.

Early projections have him potentially being chosen within the first two rounds of next summer’s NHL entry draft.

Still, Dube understands the importance of not being distracted by what is essentially every young player’s dream.

“I learned a lot from (Nick) Merkley about (the draft) and I know it’s not going to be an easy year, there will be ups and downs,” said Dube. “But I just need to be focused, keep playing my game, improve my defensive play and just be one of the hardest working guys out there. If I do that, then things should work out.”

“We played them tough, the guys battled hard,” said Raiders’ coach Jerome Erdman. “A couple things went off the rails for a little bit, but hey, Okanagan’s a great football team, they’ve got great athletes, they’re very well-coached. Right now they’re better than us.”

High school football Friday at Apple Bowl Taylor Loffler

UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL

Loffler CW top defense player Former KSS Owls star Taylor Loffler has been named Canada West football’s defensive player of the week.

Loffler, who plays at safety, was one of the heroes for the UBC Thunderbirds on Saturday, as his game-saving interception in the final minute preserved a 2720 victory over the Regina Rams in front of 6,950 homecoming fans at Thunderbird Stadium in Vancouver.

Loffler, who was one of UBC head coach Blake Nill’s biggest offseason recruits after transferring from Boise State, picked off Regina quarterback Taylor Vieira’s would-be touchdown pass with less than a minute left to preserve UBC’s lead after the Rams marched the ball to the Thunderbirds’ 18-yard line.

Along with his late game heroics, Loffler added 11 tackles for the T-Birds, running his season total to 21.5, which is good for fifth in the country and tops in Canada West after two weeks.

This Saturday, Loffler and the T’Birds will visit the Manitoba Bisons.

As a quarterback and safety at KSS, Loffler was B.C. high school football’s player of the year in 2010.

A pair of local rivals, the Rutland Voodoos and Mt. Boucherie Bears, will meet Friday in B.C. high school football preseason action.

Kick off at the Apple Bowl is 4 p.m. The Voodoos played to a tie in their only exhibition game to date, while the Bears sit at 1-1.

Then at 6:30 Friday, the KSS Owls (2-0) will take to the field against the Vernon Panthers.

••• Here’s how Central Okanagan’s three teams fared over the weekend in exhibition play: • Rutland Voodoos 23 Prince George 23 The Voodoos first preseason game

produced a tie game with Prince George Secondary on hot Saturday afternoon at RSS. Jacob Kalashnikoff had a big day for the Voodoos, scoring on a 90-yard return on the opening kick off, making court tackles and recovering fumble.

Dakota Robertson rushed nine times for 60 yards and a touchdown and had 5 tackles Quarterback Elias Gering plunged in for a touchdown from a yard out, kicked two converts and the game-tying field goal from 44 yards out with a minute left. He also had five tackles on defense.

IN junior varsity action,

the Voodoos and PG played to a 12-12 tie.

“It was our first exhibition game of the year, and with so many new players, our coach staff is very pleased with hustle and toughness displayed in the 30+ weather by both the JV and Varsity,” said Rutland coach Peter McCall.

“There are a lot of little things that need to be corrected, but it was nice to see everybody get some chances in an evenly matched game.”

• KSS Owls 43 Mission 6 Despite some key absences on defence, the KSS Owls didn’t give up much in downing the Mission Secondary 43-6

one-yard plunge.

With the Owls up 36-6 at the half, the coaches agreed to play running time in the second half.

Keenen Berg led the defence with five tackles and two sacks.

• Mt. Douglas 34 Mt. Boucherie 8 B.C. champions two of the last three years, the Mt. Douglas Rams were just a little too much for the Mt. Boucherie Bears Saturday in Victoria.

Still, head coach Mike Godwin said the game was closer than the score might indicate.

“We just gave up a few big plays due to inexperience and mental mistakes,” Godwin said.

“They have a speed

burner that can really hurt you if given the opportunity, and we gave him too many of them.

Other than that it was pretty even in terms of physicality and hitting.”

An injury kept Bears quarterback Tyler Toic on the sidelines for all but two series in the game and the offense sputtered.

Zac Callaghan had a good day on both sides of the ball, rushing for 58 yards on six carries and racking up eight tackles on defense. Wyatt Fagan, Nate Humes and Max Stoochnoff each had sacks.

UBCO Heat seeks first wins vs UNBC The UBC Okanagan men will be looking for their first points of the Canada West soccer season this weekend when the Heat hosts UNBC for two matches.

Both games go under the lights on Friday and Saturday at Nonis Field with kick off each night at 6 p.m.

Dante Zanatta’s squad opened the season at home over the weekend with two games but came

up empty.

On Saturday afternoon at the Kelowna campus, the Fraser Valley Cascades scored a 2-0 victory over the Heat.

After Connor Macmillan scored at 22 minutes, Kree Byrnes sealed the game for UFV second into the second half after weaving through the Heat defence and beating keeper Tait Cuthill.

UBC Okanagan had

some outstanding chances to cut into the Cascade lead throughout the second half, including two by Brandon McCallvum, a senior defender from Yorkton, Sask. McCallum headed the ball off of a set piece, only to hit the post, then found the ball near his foot with a nearly empty net but was unable to finish.

On Sunday, Trinity Western’s Leighton

Johnson scored the lone goal midway in the first half and the Spartans hung on to beat UBCO 1-0.

The Heat (0-2) did a solid job of controlling possession for most of the match, and generated 10 shots, nine of which were on target. It was the strong play of Andrew Hicks in net for TWU, who won his second straight match for the Spartans as he turned away all of the

Heat attempts for his first clean sheet of the season.

Dog lovers rally around their canines Sawyer Klassen

Kelowna SPCA animal shelter manager Suzanne Pugh (top photo) greets a dog at the Paws for a Cause event on Sunday at City Park. The event also featured dog agility drills and a ‘Doggy Pool.’

sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com

The 15th annual Paws for a Cause held at Kelowna’s City Park last Sunday raised just over $100,000.

The Kelowna SPCA fundraiser was raising money to combat animal cruelty, with all of the funds t directed towards Kelowna SPCA branch programs.

The shelter on Casorso Road provides a roof for thousands of animals every year, and at a bill of about $600 per animal, fundraisers like Paws for a Cause are vital.

“It’s extremely important, it’s around $1,000,000 to just keep the branch going yearly,” said Kaylyn Robinson, SPCA animal care supervisor. “All of the money goes towards caring for the animals, and the number of animals just keeps growing every year.”

Paws for a Cause featured 13 vendors, a dog agility course, and both 1 km and 3 km walks. Robinson said about 200 people registered for Paws for a Cause this year, a similar number to last year.

Anyone who says Canada is in a recession isn’t an economist – says leading economist is in an economic recession.

“Everyone thinks it’s a recession except for economists! Real recessions see widespread contraction, which we simply aren’t seeing across the country.

We have never seen consumption

Seen as one of the most influential economists in Canada for several decades, Cooper says a provincial sectoral decline is a far cry from a true national recession. “Really what drove the numbers down were the difficulties in the oil patch. For Alberta there is a recession but for Canada as a whole, no. When oil prices were high, Alberta was booming and the Canadian dollar was strong. That hurt exports from the manufacturing sectors in Ontario and Quebec.”

Overall, Cooper remains bullish on the current state of the Canadian economy, “I think we are going to see a significant rebound . . . roughly to 2 1/2 per cent growth for the second half of this year and into next year.”

This is a far cry from recent reports of growth forecasts of a much more conservative 1.1 percent growth for the coming year by a survey of 16 economists

But Cooper is basing her forecast on a number of factors, including the rebounding US economy, with US growth revised up to 3.7 percent in the second quarter.

“It’s positive for Canada,” says Cooper. “We’ve seen that in the most recent export numbers . . . most of that trade is with US. In addition, despite the five-months of declining GDP this year, Canada’s job growth has been impressive. The 54,400 jump in August brought this year’s increase in full-time jobs to an impressive 174,000. Canadian consumers are buying big-ticket items, with home sales strong yet again last month (outside of Alberta), boosting mortgage activity, and auto sales showing big gains. Housing is likely to slow only modestly in the next year as the Bank of Canada keeps short-term interest rates at record lows and longer-term yields edge only modestly higher.”

When it comes to the effect of the federal election, Cooper points

out any change in government creates a market selloff to a certain degree, but says talk of balanced budgets and prudent fiscal policy currently being heard by all three main federal parties will likely stabilize the markets quickly.

The 30 RCMP officer participants in this year’s annual Cops For Kids ride started their 1,000 km journey from Kelowna last Friday.

Lake Country RCMP constable Brandwyn Rigby won’t call herself a cyclist.

Not yet anyway.

For that declaration she will wait until the conclusion of the 2015 Cops for Kids ride that will see a team of 30 RCMP members as well as community members, ride 1,000 kilometres over 10 days in a fundraiser that began Friday in Kelowna and concludes on Sunday, Sept. 20.

It’s the first time the 20year RCMP member and Lake Country resident has taken part in the unique fundraiser and the first time in a couple of years any Lake Country RCMP member has taken part.

“I’ve watched colleagues over the years go on the ride and come back invigorated,” said Rigby last week.

“It’s something I have been interested in doing and now that I am working with kids as the school resource officer, I thought this works well.”

Admittedly a non-bike rider, Rigby joked that she once fell off a stationery bike.

But equipped with the new road bike she purchased to take part in the fundraiser, she has taken the opportunity to challenge herself and help raise money for charity.

“I didn’t own a road bike prior to volunteering for this so even the process of being fit for a bike had me a little bit anxious,” she said.

“But I really like to volunteer and I like to do things for the community.

“This is something I can do and it’s really nice to see things in a positive light.

“Usually we are responding to people’s needs but this is something I can do that

Lake Country RCMP member Brandwyn Rigby is in the midst of the 10 day, 1,000 km Cops for Kids road ride.

I’ve watched colleagues over the years go on the ride and come back invigorated.

It’s something I have been interested in doing and now that I am working with kids as the school resource officer, I thought this works well.”

Brandwyn Rigby, Lake Country RCMP really can help bring the community together.”

Since beginning to raise funds for the ride, Rigby said she has received great support from the community, from people donating to the cause to

people wishing her well on her pursuit.

“I think this can bring the community together,” she said.

“People are responding to me and saying ‘go for it’ or ‘thanks for doing this.’

“It gives me encouragement and shows this is a great community where we live.”

Rigby admitted the lead-up to the event has looomed large in her mind.

“There is a fine line between excitement and stress,” she said.

“I’m really looking forward to it. The way I see it is I’m going to pay attention to the bike in front of me.”

The traits to finding success

AL AN N U

ORGANIC

Some loyal readers have asked me to write about what constitutes a successful entrepreneur.

Now, so that I do not mislead you—the reference presented for success embodies the actual launch of a new entrepreneurial venture, not necessarily claiming mountains of money as a benchmark.

So what are the characteristics of an entrepreneur? How does an entrepreneur think? Is your personal profile similar to that of a successful entrepreneur?

The simple truth is that the majority of us are not born leaders, but become entrepreneurial leaders by who we are and the actions we take.

To support you in your personal journey toward the entrepreneurial success finish line, please be willing to open your mind, your heart and your sense of reasoning as you consider whether these characteristics are part of your driving force.

If they are not yet ingrained in you in some fashion, I would recommend that you give them some serious thought.

Let’s now take a brief look at the distinguishing characteristics of effective leadership including those entrepreneurial in nature:.

I will now give you the shorter version of entrepreneurial characteristics that are quite worth rating yourself on as you investigate the world of entrepreneurial pursuit and consider the trip: • Drive and energy: The ability to work long hours for sustained periods with less than the normal amount of sleep (ouch) • Self-confidence: A genuine belief in yourself and your ability to achieve your determined goals as an aspiring entrepreneur • Setting challenging but realistic goals: The ability to set clear goals and objectives that are challenging, yet realistic and feasible are worthwhile attributes in

any manner of behaviour • Long-term involvement: A strong commitment to projects and initiatives that may reach completion in multi-year targets.

• Using money as a performance measurement: Money, in the form of salaries, profits or capital gain ought to be viewed as a measure of how your enterprise is performing rather than as an end in itself; evidence-based literature tells us that money is not at the top of the entrepreneurs totem pole for success • Persistent problemsolving: Must possess an intense and determined desire to solve problems toward completion of tasks; the core essence of entrepreneurial creation is seeking problems and finding solutions • Taking moderate risks: Success is generally the result of calculated risk-taking that provides a reasonable and challenging chance of success • Learning from failure: Understanding your role in a failure can be very beneficial in avoiding similar situations in the future and establish a clarity for your personal growth • Using criticism: You will need to be able to seek and use criticism of the style and substance of your performance;

at times a bitter pill but acceptance of constructive criticism is acceptance of your willingness to grow and become a true entrepreneurial leader.

I would like to conclude this treatise today with perhaps one of the most compelling attributes of any successful entrepreneur that establishes “how high the bar” has been set by themselves for success.

Successful entrepreneurs never give up. It is not in their vocabulary.

There may be days when an existing or aspiring entrepreneur feels discouraged or disappointed, but giving up is not an option.

Having faith, trust, confidence and determination, with some love thrown in the mix, are the qualities needed.

To keep their focus on track, they will often seek out the support of those who know them, encourage them and bring out their natural enthusiasm.

I hope today’s column helps plant the beginnings of finding your entrepreneurial spirit.

CENTRAL OKANAGAN

Energy efficiency project A local developer, a homebuilder, the University of British Columbia Okanagan and Okanagan College are collaborating to see how sustainable building technologies can be used to reduce the energy used in new homes in the Interior.

The Wilden Living Lab initiative will see two homes built in Kelowna’s Wilden subdivision on lots made available by the Blenk Development Corporation.

One home will be built to current building code standards. The other will incorporate additional sustainable building technologies.

Local builder AuthenTech Homes will identify the additional technologies and undertake construction in cooperation with Okanagan College’s Construction Management Program.

Researchers from UBC Okanagan’s School of Engineering will then monitor and compare the energy use of both homes over the next three years and report their findings.

The result—real-world data that shows prospective homebuilders and home buyers what can be built in the Okanagan.

Blenk Development director Karin Eger-Blenk says her company has long had an interest in sustainability.

With geothermal heating and cooling already available in Wilden, her company is interested in seeing what else can be added into the mix.

“To make sustainable building practices and increased energy efficiency the norm, we need partners and suppliers who can help make new

Blenk Development Corp. director Karin Eger-Blenk says a partnership with UBC and Okanagan College will help her company further improve their sustainable CONTRIBUTED building practices. technologies affordable, even for first-time homebuyers,” said Eger-Blenk.

“With the support of the Living Lab, we would like to speed up the progress we’ve already made in our initiative and get closer to a cleaner future.”

In addition to making two building lots available for the project, Eger-Blenk’s company is also providing support for the home planning and building as well as $62,850 to the Living Lab’s research fund.

Working alongside the tradespeople at AuthenTech Homes is a great way to help educate the homebuilders of tomorrow, says Andrew Hay, vice-president of Education at Okanagan College.

Students at the college have lent their skills to nearly 50 projects in the Okanagan since 2004.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to apply

green building principles, technology, and techniques at the forefront of sustainable construction today,” said Hay. “We are very excited about the opportunities for our students to be engaged in applied research and construction, as they will gain truly useful insights into how to minimize environmental impacts and maximize energy efficiency before and after construction.”

The Living Lab is not a new concept at UBCO. The university continually seeks partnerships in its applied research efforts.

“One of the unique things about UBCO is the degree to which it has partnered with community and industry stakeholders,” said UBCO’s vice-president of research Phil Barker.

“We are grateful that companies continue to step forward to partner with us

and take advantage of the intellectual power available here. We are keen to build on our community engagement and leverage the research being conducted here.”

There are opportunities for more industry partners to participate in the project as the Living Lab will is looking for sustainable products, materials and services to incorporate in construction.

Shahria Alam is the research lead and associate professor at UBCO’s School of Engineering, joined by her co-investigators including Rudolf Seethaler, Rehan Sadiq, Dwayne Tannant, Kasun Hewage and Sunny Li. “We will create a state-ofthe-art lab facility in Wilden for long-term monitoring of energy usage by different construction materials and modern utensils used for residential houses,” said Alam.

“Thus, this study will help develop sustainable

construction practices in Canada.

“Working with industry will help us apply this research to a real world environment.”

Amy Vaillancourt, a professor at Okanagan College, added: “Our goal is to empower and inspire the emerging generation of construction managers, technologists, and builders to deliver true sustainable development.

“In addition to gaining invaluable real-world knowledge and skills, we hope students come away feeling empowered that they are participating in a project that has the potential to benefit their community and the industry they are entering.”

Russ Foster, president and CEO of Blenk Development Corporation and Wilden’s project manager, said the company is thrilled to be working on this project with UBCO and Okanagan College, recognizing the importance both these institutions play in the Central Okanagan.

“We’re always pushing for new technologies and energy efficiencies and the Living Lab project can give us a true measurement of what those technologies could mean to our customers,” Foster said.

Scott Tyerman, president of AuthenTech Homes, said with the rising cost of energy, “people are becoming increasingly aware of energy conservation. I find that home buyers are also wanting to be more responsible to the environment and explore new technologies, so it just makes sense that we offer those solutions.”

Of Prime Interest: The steps to buying a home Many people wonder why a lawyer/notary public, real estate agent and mortgage broker potentially need to be involved in the mortgage process.

Mortgage Broker: A mortgage broker has access to numerous lenders and will have an understanding of a client’s financial position. After careful consultation with the client, the role of a mortgage broker is to find the right mortgage fit that suits their needs.

If a client doesn’t fit into regular lending criteria, the mortgage broker will take on the task of overcoming those financial hurdles.

Mortgage brokers are able to finance property in most British Columbia communities and other centres across Canada. Best of all, we are compensated by the lender so our services are free to our clients.

If you follow the wise step to get pre-approved for a mortgage first, the next step is to find your new home.

Realtor: A real estate agent’s role is to find the right house match for each client. When an offer is made, they handle the initial paperwork and represent their client in negotiating a final deal.

The offer will state the purchase price, down payment, completion date, move-in date and will generally have other specific subjects written in the contract. Those subjects can include subject-to financing or a home inspection.

The offer will also include, as part of the contract, the property disclosure statement which the home seller must complete indicating if there are any negative issues with the property such as it being a former marijuana grow-op site, issues with the septic tank, condition of the roof, etc.

The realtor is compensated by the seller, as there is no cost passed on in this regard to the buyer. If there are two realtors involved, they will split the commission fee paid by the seller.

Lawyer/Notary Public: The process involved in registering a mortgage is the last and one of the most important steps in buying a new home.

A lawyer or notary public will ensure the mortgage is registered at the Land Titles office in a clear and concise way so there won’t be any surprises down the road. A search of the existing land title will also be done, in part to determine if there are any liens, judgments or anything negative being held against the land title.

In the case of a private purchase where the property is not listed on the local MLS, we recommend that an offer should be written up by a lawyer or notary public to protect your interests should any outstanding legal issues arise.

Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of mortgage professionals: Darwyn Sloat, 250-718-4117; Christine Hawkins, 250-8262001; Trish Balaberde, 250-470-8324.

Hungry bears attracted to local garbage Sawyer Klassen sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com

A resident of West Kelowna says this year has been particularly bad for bear sightings in his neighbourhood.

Dave Calder, who lives in West Kelowna Estates, explained last week how a surprising number of people are leaving their garbage on the edge of their driveways the night before pickup, which becomes a major attractant for bears.

“There is a bylaw in place that says you can’t put your garbage out until seven in the morning,” he said.

“You can’t put it out the night before. The reason for that is that it attracts bears, which creates a safety issue, and the bears become conditioned to the garbage as the easiest source of food. Then the bear is

inevitably destroyed.”

The bylaw, No. 0065, reads: “Unless exempted by the Director of Engineering for reasons of physical disability, all Garbage, Yard Waste and Recyclables Carts shall be made readily accessible and with lids unlocked…for emptying, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on the day of collection only.”

Calder and a team of volunteers monitored the number of garbage bins put out the night before in their neighbourhood, and left informative brochures on the ones they came across.

However, Calder was quick to point out they didn’t want to be confrontational; they have no intentions of reporting anyone, they simply want to educate and make sure everyone is aware of the issue.

Later that night, a volunteer drove down

Horizon Drive at 1 a.m. and took note of how many garbage bins were already on the street.

The volunteer found 30 per cent of homes already had garbage bins out—a number Calder said is far too high.

Calder explained bear safety is a serious issue this time of year. Just last Tuesday afternoon, the first day of the new school year, he was told of a black bear in a pool a few blocks from an elementary school.

This time of year is when black bears are most active as they forage for food in preparation for hibernation, which they usually begin in October or November.

Calder is hopeful most people will hear the message about limiting bear attractants to not only make their community safer, but also protect the bears from the possibility of being euthanized.

Housing starts hold firm Housing starts in the Kelowna Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) were trending at 1,342 units for August, relatively unchanged from 1,370 units recorded in July, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).

The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR)1 of housing starts.

“The trend in housing starts held steady in August reflecting a balance between supply and demand for housing in the

area,” said Taylor Pardy, CMHC senior market analyst. “The housing market in Kelowna continues to benefit from steady migration, an improving labour market and low interest rates.”

CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market.

In some situations, analyzing only SAAR

data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets which can be quite variable from one month to the next.

The stand alone monthly SAAR was 1,048 units in August, down from 1,990 units in July.

Kamloops, Vernon and Prince George also saw increases in housing starts in August compared to the same month last year.

Each bear marker indicates a reported bear sighting in the West Kelowna Estates area from Aug. 26 to Sept.10.

Housing market reflects consumer confidence Typical in some ways, not so typical in others sums up the month of August in housing sales activity recorded by The Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board (OMREB).

Sales for August 2015 were described as “steady but slow,” but it was the strongest sales numbers for August posted on that month since 2007.

While the housing market is being underpinned by rock bottom mortgage interest rates, a noticeable lift in consumer confidence in our province has propelled the market to elevated activity.

While smoky conditions due to wild fires may have had some impact on viewings, the haze didn’t deter purchases by people who are choosing to buy now.

“Bolstered by high consumer confidence as local employment and economic conditions improve, demand for homes in the Okanagan-Shuswap is strong and keeping pace with other markets in B.C.,” said Christopher Miller, OMREB president and a Kelowna reator.

“Most sectors in our OMREB area saw a very active summer and we are optimistic this upward trend will continue into the fall with solid sales activity in September

and October.”

“Now is the time to list as inventory continues to decline. Single family homes within our board area are selling within 88 days compared to 104 days on market year-to-date during the same eight-month period in 2014.”

Helping drive that consumer confidence trend is a new development in Lake Country, called Lakestone, a 1,300 lot development on the Okanagan Lake shoreline.

Howard Kruschke, director of sales and marketing for Lakestone, notes that the Okanagan market is attracting an interesting buyer demographic.

While Lakestone’s buyers are primarily from the Okanagan (about 60 per cent) and Alberta (about 40 per cent), the project has also increasingly been attracting an international buyer, with interest coming from Dubai, Kuala Lampur, Bermuda, Rio, and Toronto.

Kruschke also notes that while the Alberta buyer demographic in the Okanagan has traditionally been Calgary-skewed, he is noticing a shift towards more Edmontonians this year, which he attributes to the oil slump’s impact on oil-centric Calgary.

Within OMREB’s three diverse markets—Central Okanagan, North Okanagan, and Shuswap-Revelstoke areas—sales activity and prices, and supply and demand tends to vary among property types at different times and locations, with ups and downs experienced zone-by-zone and month-bymonth.

In the Shuswap, purchases by locals, retirees and those looking for a lifestyle change have continued on an upward climb this year after

lagging sales in 2014.

Single family home sales for the month rose 19 per cent compared to August 2014 and saw a 16 per cent improvement year-to-date.

Some segments in the Central Okanagan are experiencing shortages and moving into sellers’ market conditions.

Single family residential sales improved by 12 per cent over last August while year-to-date totals improved by 11 per cent over the same time period in 2014 (January

through August).

The North Okanagan reported a 19 per cent decline in single family residential sales during August and a nine per cent decline year-to-date, but this was on the heels of a vigorous run up of sales activity last year that outpaced the two other zones.

For the Central Zone (Peachland to Lake Country) during August overall sales of all property types were up 8.2 per cent with 591 units compared to 546 in 2014.

However, year-to-date sales

activity improved by 9.3 per cent compared to the same period last year (January through August) to 4,088 units from 3,741 in 2014.

Total residential sales for the month improved by 8.4 per cent at 545 units compared to 503 in 2014, and by 11.6 per cent year-to-date (to 3,820 from 3,424).

The sale of 267 single family homes rose 12.2 per cent over last August (238) and improved 11 per cent year-to-date (to 1,961 from 1,766).

Living Future Institute CEO ready to make way for successor After serving as CEO of the International Living Future Institute and Cascadia Green Building Council since 2006, founder Jason McLennan is changing his role with the organization.

McLennan will transition from CEO to chair of the board of directors, handing over the top executive reins to Amanda Sturgeon.

“When I started at the organization we had a staff of three and almost no budget. Today we have a solid leadership team, a staff of 35, offices in several cities, hundreds of volunteers, and thousands of individuals that follow and support us.

Together, our board, volunteers, sponsors and members have truly started to change the world and I am proud of what we have accomplished over the last decade,” McLennan said.

Sturgeon has served as executive director for the last year, has been with the institute for the past five years and was a founding board member of the Cascadia Green Building Council.

“She has been responsible for leading the growth and expansion of our programs, building a strong and diverse team and strengthening the long-term financial stability of the organization,”McLennan said.

“The Institute is in incredibly capable hands. Amanda has the experience, passion and vision to lead us toward a living future and we will continue to work closely together as I transition to a volunteer role.

McLennan said pushing innovative ideas forward to meet the green challenges in new building designs has been an overriding achievement which he initially set out for the Institute to embark on. In starting up his own architecture, design, planning and product design firm called McLennan Design, McLennan hopes to continue to work on green projects with those who have the means and influence to truly break new ground in some important way, and those who have very limited means and need deep green design more than anyone .

Water board faces future water use issues The Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB) recently held its annual general meeting, which also served as the 45th anniversary of water protection in the valley.

With that landmark, the water board is looking at the challenges ahead and ways to meet them.

“It really does all start with water,” noted Anna Warwick Sears, executive director for the OBWB. “It’s central to everything—our health, our tourism, our food security, and our economy.

“We’ve seen incredible improvements to water quality over the last 45 years, and

even conservation improvements, but the threats to our water supply are still there and multiplying.

“This year alone, we’ve had so much coming at us: Invasive milfoil growth like we’ve never seen, a Level 4 drought which is forecast to be an issue next summer as

well, and of course the threat of invasive mussels continues to be a concern.

“But the strength of the water board, and its success in addressing water issues, is in its consistent approach to building partnerships.”

Those partnerships extend from local politicians to the agencies represented on the OBWB’s Water Stewardship Council (the technical advisory body to the board) including First Nations, farmers, realtors, local government planners, water stewardship groups and others.

The keynote speaker for the OBWB annual general meeting was Julia Lew with the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA).

Lew came to talk about her agency’s efforts to fight back against invasive quagga mussels, an issue that is near and dear to the OBWB these days.

The OBWB began raising the alarm about zebra and quagga mussels in 2012 after a research paper indicated an infestation would cost the Okanagan at least $43 millon a year.

The water board began pushing the province and federal government for inspections along the B.C.-Alberta and

Canada-U.S. borders, but also launched its own Don’t Move A Mussel campaign (www.DontMoveAMussel.ca) to raise awareness and help prevent the spread.

According to Lew, a pilot plant specialist in the agency’s Applied Water Quality Research Department, SNWA provides drinking water to almost two million residents and another 40 million annual visitors.

In 2007, the presence of quagga mussels were confirmed in their water source, Lake Mead, and have been causing problems ever since.

The main issues from a water delivery perspective, she says, have been the clogging of water intakes and protection of water treatment infrastructure.

In many cases, utilities will use chlorine as an effective decontamination method, but this isn’t possible at SNWA where the chemical, when combined with existing organics, would create a carcinogenic byproduct.

In response, the authority conducted its own research to find a safe and effective treatment.

“The biology is very unpredictable with these mussels,” explained Lew.

“Whereas we haven’t seen some of the effects other jurisdictions have with the mussels, we’ve had others not seen elsewhere.”

For example, in many areas where the mussels exist there is one reproductive cycle per year and one female can produce a million eggs. But the warm water temperatures in Lake Mead is resulting in six to eight reproductive cycles per year.

Another issue is the cost to chemically pre-treat a new in-take, made necessary because of declining water levels in the lake. The cost will be about $8 million, said Lew. In looking at the Okanagan’s situation, where as far as we know the mussels are not present, Lew offered this note of caution.

“If we could go back in time, prevention would have been the way to go,” she said.

“I know some think prevention is costly, but the moment you don’t have it, and the mussels get in, it’s devastating. The costs once they arrive are far worse.”

In considering the work of the OBWB over the last 45 years, Warwick Sears noted the water board has much to celebrate.

Its sewage facilities assistance grants to local governments in the valley, which began four decades ago, have greatly improved water quality.

The Water Conservation and Quality Improvement Grants Program, almost 10 years old, has provided $3.2-million in funding to projects that improve local waters.

In the past year alone, the OBWB has worked with partners on wetland rehabilitation, helping prepare the Okanagan for the impacts of climate change, it has seen the expansion of its water conservation effort (MakeWaterWork.ca) with a new low-water plant collection, and much more.

But we also face challenges, added Sears. Partnerships, learning from agencies like SNWA, and working with others will continue to be important.

“The only way we can adapt to the changes in weather, population, invasive species, is to work in partnership, with the water board providing a consistent way to bring people together in the best interests of the valley.

There is no more efficient or effective way to do it,” Warwick Sears said.

Outdoor watering restrictions continue for city customers The City of Kelowna is reminding its water utility customers that the odd/ even watering restrictions are in place until the end of September.

As the days become shorter and temperatures drop leading into the fall, the city

also encourages residents to reduce the watering time on their irrigation timers.

This will save both water and money. The amount of water required for a lawn in September is only about 60 per cent of what is required during the peak irrigation

month of July.

Odd/even watering restrictions allow properties with odd number addresses to water lawns and yards on odd calendar days and those with even number addresses to water on even calendar days.

These outdoor watering restrictions will be in place until Sept. 30 after which the city will re-evaluate the need for restrictions.

Old books can give new life to gardening In gardening I find the more things change the more they stay the same.

Many of the techniques and fundamentals used today have been used for centuries even though they may be touted as new.

My collection of old gardening books is

From The Ground Up DON BURNETT extensive and includes writings from all over the world but for the

most part North America and England.

I particularly enjoy reading bits and pieces from England where many of our Canadian gardening practices have come.

One, which I have been browsing through recently, is called Twentieth Century Gardening written in 1913 by John Weathers.

In it is a chapter on how to build a gravel pathway by excavating at least a foot of soil away and starting with a six-inch

Central Okanagan School District Together We Learn Together We are Ready to Support Every Student

l District No. 23 tral Okanagan)

layer of broken brick then a three-inch layer of clinkers before the final three inches of gravel is applied to the surface.

They must have borrowed that technique from the Romans famous for their network of roads winding throughout England some of which are still there today.

In paths installed in recent landscapes I often see a two-inch layer of gravel on top of a clay surface, which will be usable for only a few seasons before it becomes a haven for weeds once the gravel disappears into the clay.

In this book, written before the widespread use of manufactured fertilizers or “artificial manures” as they were known back then, the use of “canary guano” is mentioned time after time as the quintessential product to provide plants the three essential nutrients, nitrogen phosphorous and

potassium.

Today bat guano is a well-known organic source for these nutrients but even with the help of Google I cannot find information on canary guano. It seems it would take an unimaginable number of canaries to provide enough of this material to satisfy the thousands of gardeners in England at the turn of the century. I did though read of a bat called the canary bat and perhaps that is where the canary guano came from.

One of the things I find interesting in old English gardening books are the terms used for weights and measures. I’m sure most of you have heard of bushels and pecks, but when I start seeing terms such as “one square pole” I begin to realize just how easy to understand our metric system is. One square pole by the way is equal to 30.25 square yards, which makes a pole 5.5

yards long. As much as many of us complain about the metric system, it’s a lot easier to work everything in 10s than to remember there are 12 inches in a foot and three feet in a yard and 1,760 yards in a mile, etcetera.

My collection of gardening books includes titles such as Garden Guide–The Amateur Gardeners Handbook 1917, The Modern Family Garden Guide 1943 and the American Family Cyclopedia Agriculturist 1885. I have many others but the point is more than just being collectible they have great information that can be very helpful to the modern gardener.

I suggest we all check out our old books to find ‘new’ and exciting ways to enhance our gardening experience.

Tune in to The Don Burnett Garden Show on AM 1150 News Talk Sports Saturdays from 8 to 10 a.m. or log on at www.am1150.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words We have all heard the saying that "it takes a village to raise a child"; we also know that it takes a team to support, nurture, and encourage a student as they navigate their elementary and secondary school years. Here in the Central Okanagan School District we are proud of everyone who does their part on behalf of our students.

This picture gives a visual image of ‘our village’. The most important people in this photo are our student representatives: Branden Jewsbury, a grade 12 student and member of the District Student Council, and twins Chloe and Tyson Baker, new kindergarten students.

The UBC Okanagan Students’ Union has officially launched its Community Campus Bridge (CCB) project, in partnership with a number of local charities, businesses and organizations.

The initiative is an attempt to formalize and create job shadowing incentives or students across the Okanagan.

With early placements already starting next week, the program has gained a lot of attention from the campus, community and students.

The program matches students who apply by uploading their resume at www.CampusCommunity.ca with organizations and positions using a number of metrics to place them in opportunities that make sense.

The UBC student union has committed $35,000 in funding to launch CCB and is offering $500 individual grants and scholarships to any student who successfully applies and completes the required 40 hours.

The Campus Community Bridge project was envisioned by the UBCSUO 2015/16 board of directors, led by current president Thomas Macauley.

The initiative wanted to help refocus the UBCSUO as a cultivator of projects hoping to increase student engagement through providing necessary services that would contribute to the transformative experience students’ seek at UBC Okanagan.

The CCB provides a student job shadowing subsidy and grant program and is designed to help mitigate the risk of taking on new entry-level hires for private enterprise, while concurrently assisting students in gaining meaningful experience that will help them make the transition from student life to their desired careers.

To learn more about this initiative, contact Macauley, UBCSUO president, at 250-863-9823 or email him at president@ubcsuo.ca.

news _____________________________________________________________________ Seven years ago, Irakly Jikuri left his family and life in Georgia, a small country at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, with a promise to his wife, Maka, that they would be reunited once he established roots in Canada.

The Jikuris goal was to raise a family in a country that offered many opportunities; where they could give their children the best chances in life.

Though the political and economic climate in Georgia appear to have stabilizing over the past couple of years, Irakly explained that it is a better life in the Okanagan.

“We wanted our kids to have access to a good

Creating a new life half way across the world, however, hasn’t been easy for Irakly. It took time

to begin a new trade, in stucco and stonework, in an unknown country and it wasn’t until four years later, in 2011, that he was able to bring Maka to Canada to start their

family.

Although they were together at last, times remained tough. For Maka, the culture shock of a different country, learning a new language and finding a job proved difficult. Their new family, which now included baby Daniel, meant struggling to make ends meet and they were worried the years of sacrifice and hard work to move their lives to a new country would go to waste.

Without family support nearby, they knew they would need to find care for Daniel if they were to get ahead in life. But there was one problem: They couldn’t afford it.

However, when the Jikuri family learned about subsidized child care through the YMCA, it changed everything.

“We are so grateful,” says Irakly. “Now Maka can study English and try to find work and Daniel has a safe place to go during the day.”

Irakly explained that they are only able to afford the care because of the Y’s financial assistance program. Since Daniel entered child care, they can focus on creating a sustainable life in their newfound home.

The Jikuris are laying the groundwork to ensure they have food on the table every night.

And, at two and a half, Daniel is starting an early education which is something they had always dreamed of.

“It is excellent for him,” says Irakly. “He is really good with the alphabet and numbers and when I come pick him up after

Raising a family is not easy and it is more difficult for those living in sole income-earning households. In the Central Okanagan 17.5 per cent of children under the age of six come from low-income homes. The need for support in our community is great.

The YMCA of Okanagan is a local charity reliant on the generous support of donors to provide programs and services to children, youth, seniors and families in our community For those interested in helping families like the Jikuris succeed and provide proper care for their children, the YMCA’s Cycle for Strong Kids event taking place on Sept. 19 is the perfect opportunity to do so. It involves a 45-minute, unintimidating, stationary cycle class with prizes, smoothies and treats.

Anyone can join up until midnight on Wednesday Sept. 16.

There are still spots to choose from and every little bit helps. Get your friends out for a fun ride. Register today at ymcaokanagan.ca.

Pranic Various treatments, exercises for knee osteoarthritis healing KEEPING YOU MOVING

Krista Smith Contributor

You wake up, the sun is shining, you climb out of bed and realize that your knee feels stiff. Again.

After about 10 minutes the stiffness eases and you head out for your morning walk. You notice that you can’t walk as fast as you could a couple of months ago and you have started shortening your walking distance due to the pain in your knee.

Over the last month you have also noticed weakness in the muscles around the knee, reduced balance and grinding in the knee joint with movement.

Does any of that sound familiar?

If so, you may have knee osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis is a common degenerative condition that often involves the spine, hip and knee joints. When the articular cartilage between two bones breaks down, the underlying bone becomes exposed, which can be painful.

An x-ray of the knee can help confirm the diagnosis of osteoarthritis, although symptoms do not always correlate with the degree of degenerative change seen on x-ray.

While it is usually

not possible to identify the exact cause of this condition, factors which increase the risk of osteoarthritis include increasing age, a family history of osteoarthritis, obesity, a previous injury that has caused trauma to the joint and a sport or occupation that has involved repetitive stress on the knee joint over an extended period of time.

There are a wide range of physiotherapy treatments that can be quite effective at alleviating pain, reducing stiffness and improving range of motion, flexibility, muscle strength, balance and overall function.

These treatments may include education, manual therapy, exercise prescription, modalities and use of a gait aid, such as a cane.

Exercise can be quite beneficial to help reduce symptoms and improve function.

Consider your physiotherapist your exercise expert who can put together a home exercise program for you which includes specific exercises for range of motion, stretching, strengthening, aerobic exercise and balance training.

As well, swimming and/or cycling are often well tolerated

and help improve aerobic conditioning, joint lubrication and can help with weight management.

Manual therapy involves different handson techniques performed by your physiotherapist which can help reduce stiffness and improve range of motion.

We will often measure knee range of motion before and after treatment and between physiotherapy visits to determine how effective the treatment is for you.

Modalities, which include heat, cold, electrical stimulation, ultrasound and acupuncture may also

help to reduce symptoms.

Ultimately, our goal is to reduce pain and improve function and the treatment you choose will depend on your goals, the severity of your symptoms and your current level of function.

Join us for a free lecture on the topic of knee osteoarthritis on Wednesday Sept. 23 at 7 p.m.. Please call 250-8618056 to reserve your spot today.

Krista Smith is a registered physiotherapist at Sun City Physiotherapy in Kelowna. downtown@ suncityphysiotherapy.com

A free intro and demo of pranic healing will be held Sept. 17, 7 p.m., at St. Michael Cathedral, 608 Sutherland Ave. Pranic healing includes effective non-touch energy healing, balancing energy abnormalities, learning to heal yourself and others as well a generating support physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Leading the session will be certified healer Marilee Goheen and pranic healing psychotherapist Brenda Barton.

FEKETE, PIROSKA

JANUARY 16, 1940 ~ SEPTEMBER 8, 2015 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our dear mom Piroska (Perry) Fekete. Mom’s journey started in Kemecse, Hungary, a small farming community. Instead of marrying she decided school was best. She completed her RN program at a school of nursing in Budapest. Perry married her husband Istvan (Steve) Fekete in Budapest and courageously moved to Canada without knowing any English. Leaving behind a large number of close family members that were greatly missed.

Perry moved to the big city of Vancouver, BC where she started her own family. They eventually settled in the small town of Princeton, BC where she worked as a L.P.N. at Princeton General Hospital. She made a new family here and some life long friends. While residing here in Kelowna, BC she did what she loved best, her biggest achievement, her grandchildren, “Children are often spoiled because no one will spank Grandma!”. Perry is survived by her children Andrea (Mario) Vucinovic, Barbara (John) Leinemann and Stephen Fekete; grandchildren Leyland Vucinovic, Amelia Vucinovic, Jakob Leinemann, Jonah Leinemann (predeceased 2006) and Jay Leinemann. In lieu of flowers please consider a small donation to the KGH Foundation, child care fund in her name (Piroska Fekete). An appreciation goes out to Vladka and Darko Vucinovic who helped get our mom to some of her appointments.

Perry touched the hearts of many including William and Daniel Low (grandchildren to Vladka and Darko). A huge thank you to all the doctors and nurses that cared for our mom through this final chapter of her journey. From the cancer clinic to the kind doctors and helpful nurses on 6 West. A special thank you to Anne Malone and Kay Garton who were more than willing to do the night shift and spend the final moments with our mom. It means a lot.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Eldorado, September 20, 2015 from 1 pm ~ 4 pm, 500 Cook Road, Kelowna, BC. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.valleyviewfuneralhome.com Arrangements entrusted to Valleyview Funeral Home 250-765-3147.

BETUZZI, MERRIE NOELLE (MATCHETT-MULHERN) It is with deep sadness that we inform you of the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and aunt, Merrie Betuzzi on September 11, 2015 at Lakeview Lodge in West Kelowna, B.C. She was predeceased by her husband Charles Betuzzi in 2013 and her sister Mayme Mulhern. She is fondly remembered by her children Gail (Terry) Willner, Mark (Jennifer) Betuzzi, Larry (Vera) Betuzzi, Jane (Gerry) Kyle, Connie (Bill) Osborne, Kevin (Fay) Betuzzi, Anne (Rob) Boyd, Chris (Suzanne) Betuzzi, Dana (Len) Kruiper, Tim (Cecile) Betuzzi, and Paula (Michael) Betuzzi. She was the proud grandmother to 23 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. She is survived by her brother-in-law Doug Grant of Mount Vernon, WA and many nieces, nephews and friends. She was born in Calgary, AB on Christmas Day (December 25th) 1922. In 1940 Merrie moved to Vancouver to live with her sister Mayme. She attended UBC and graduated in 1944 with a Bachelor of Arts and a teaching certificate. She taught on Salt Spring Island and in Penticton where she met Charles. They were married in Summerland on September 27, 1947. They were happily married for over 65 years. In the mid-fifties Charles and Merrie moved to Lakeview Heights. Merrie was busy with the children, with lots of help from Charles. They also had a large garden and many fruit trees with fruit and vegetables to be used for freezing, drying and canning.

Mom enjoyed skating for many years, as a young girl and as an adult. Seven Children, along with mom were members of the Kelowna Figure Skating Club. At the Mount Boucherie Figure Skating Club she assisted in coaching the juniors and often participated with a routine of her own in the ice show. She loved gardening and nurtured a beautiful flower garden every year. She also enjoyed baking, cooking, crossword puzzles, reading, watching TV (PBS, The Blue Jays, skating and old movies) Scrabble and Tile Rummy. She took up oil painting, becoming very proficient in pieces that depicted the landscape around Lakeview Heights and the surrounding areas. Sewing was another favorite pastime of Merrie’s and she made many, many quilts (with applique), including one for each grandchild. Our Lady of Lourdes Church in West Kelowna was a big part of her life. She was a very active participant in the CWL and also served as president for a number of years. She started a group called “Baby Steps” at the church making quilts for newborns and moms in the area. It then grew to include knitted and crocheted hats, blankets, baby clothes, and toys for the less fortunate locally and in many other areas of the world. Merrie knit many “comfort” dolls, adding hair and faces and other things, to give each a personality.

Charles and Merrie lived in their home in Lakeview Heights until 2010. They then moved to Westwood where they enjoyed making new friends and seeing old friends and continued to appreciate a lake view. In 2013, Merrie and Charles moved to Lakeview Lodge. The family would like to extend their thanks to Westwood for enabling a lovely home environment for Merrie and for the extra care given to Merrie. Many warm thanks go out to Bayshore for the wonderful care aids who assisted Merrie and attended to her as companions in recent years. There is viewing and prayers at 10:00 am and a service at 11:00 am on Thursday, September 17, at Our Lady of Lourdes Church 2547 Hebert Road, West Kelowna, B.C. In lieu of flowers donations may be made in Merrie’s memory to Development and Peace.

FEDDERSEN, Ernest (Ernie) April 17, 1924 - September 11, 2015 (91 years)

It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of a much-loved man – husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle and friend.

It was the simple things around him in life that Ernie never took for granted, commenting daily how fortunate and thankful he was. He married Elsie Braun in 1947, who died early in life from complications of Alzheimers’ Disease. Ernie married Esther Rosenau and they enjoyed 25 wonderful years together. Not only had he been blessed with two committed marriages, but two families, unified in the love of their parents.

Ernie involved himself in the lives of others. He was well known and respected in the local community, whether in Medicine Hat, Calgary, Kelowna or, in more recent years, Chilliwack. His business endeavours included farming, mining, trucking, managing Royalite service and bulk stations, and later, sales with Gulf Oil. Ernie was a man of deep faith that translated into years of volunteer service at various levels in the Evangelical United Brethren Church. He donated an annual scholarship to an affiliate college, contributing for fifty years. He also dedicated countless hours to the Alzheimer Society of BC, Snowmobiling Club, community board and Fraser Valley Salmon Society. Much time was spent on the Fraser, fishing with Esther and numerous fishing buddies, with stories that rival most.

His greatest pride was his family whom he prayed for daily. He believed in the power, grace and peace of Christ which he now delights in. Ernie will be remembered for his strength of spirit and joy of life.

Ernie is survived by his wife Esther, children and grandchildren: Melvyn and Linda (Kailea), Carolyn and Barry (Scott and Shaina), Bentley and Pat (Trevor, Joel and Jeremy), Marlene and Marvin (Chiara, Mark and Alayne), and Esther’s children: Marvin (Albert), Terry and Laurie (Michael and Dan), Glenda and Don (Meghan and Kayla), Gerald and Maisa (Frida), thirteen great grandchildren, siblings (Frieda, Christine and Lila), in-laws, nieces, nephews, friends and family. He was also predeceased by granddaughters Andrea and Jennifer.

A celebration of Ernie’s life will be held on Saturday, September 19, 2015 at 1:00 pm at Cross Connection Church, 9310 Williams Street, (corner of Williams and Princess) Chilliwack, BC If you so desire, memorial donations may be made directly to Samaritan’s Purse, 20 Hopewell Way NE, Calgary, Alberta, T3J 5H5,. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family via the website www.hendersonsfunerals.com Henderson’s Funeral Home in care of arrangements. www.hendersonsfunerals.com Henderson’s Funeral Homes 604-792-1344

Hugo was born and raised in Kelowna. He trained as a mechanic at Smith’s Garage before moving to Chapmans Transport as the Service Manager. Hugo always wanted to be his own boss and opened Cookson Motors in 1965, where his employees were like family. He was a long-time member of the Gyro Club and the Kelowna Golf and Country Club. Hugo loved to travel and family get-togethers were always a highlight.

He was a very loyal, loving hard-working man who will be greatly missed. Hugo has now joined his loving wife Pat who predeceased him on May 6, 2010.
