Condo inferno prompts building code questions Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Just a couple of days after a blaze ravaged a fourstorey condominium complex in the Lower Mission, residents whose homes sustained the worst fire damage are finding ways to make peace with the devastation. “The thing I keep thinking is; I may have lost everything, but even then I still have more than two-thirds of the world,” said Mark Gordon, who got a look at the charred remains of his home Monday afternoon when he, along with the rest of the residents of 660 Lequime Road, were granted permission to collect their vehicles. Mark, a pastor at The Bridge, and his wife Sandi moved into the building just two weeks earlier, after making a decision to sell their house and downsize. They were settling into their new life and catching a Saturday night movie, when everything was turned on its head. “My husband went to the kitchen, and I heard a big bang,” said Sandi. “Then he sat down to watch the movie and the screen went black, like it does between scenes, and there were flames reflecting off the TV.” Mark said, “Something is on fire,” and Sandi looked up to see flames snaking around the roof, above the balcony, and into her bedroom. “There was no alarm, so my husband went into the hallway, ran into someone, and they pulled the alarm,” she said. Then the couple took little more than what was on their backs and started knocking on doors, telling everyone on their floor that they had to evacuate—and fast. They continued alerting residents on each level during their escape from the building, even managing to help two senior citizens who were disoriented by the chaos and unable to take the stairs themselves. “I didn’t hear the alarm go for five or 10 minutes,” said Sandi, adding she was surprised by how many people were reticent about leaving their suites, even after they were told fire was ripping through the building. By the time bells rang out, not long before 10:30 p.m., the Gordons were joined by fire, ambulance and police crews. See Inferno A7

TAKING FLIGHT…The Snowbirds demonstrations squadron, an icon of the Canadian Armed Forces, were in Kelowna on

Monday afternoon to give a 30-minute aerial show over Okanagan Lake. The Snowbirds were brought here by the Kelowna Rotary Club, as the pilots were guests of honour at a fundraiser banquet held Sunday at the Coast Capri Hotel.

Lake party turned into a fatal accident Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Kelroy Munroe accidentally drown when he dove into Kalamalka Lake Aug. 17, 2010, said a regional coroner. “Mild acute ethanol intoxication was contributory,” said the report released last month. “There was no trauma and no evidence of any natural disease process which could have contributed to his death. Toxicology examination revealed a blood alcohol level of

.05 per cent.” At the time of the drowning, the young Jamaican man’s friends raised questions about what would have led Munroe, who didn’t swim, into the depths of Kal Lake and the report sheds some light on that question. “Mr. Munroe was one of 11 employees and managers from a Kelowna restaurant who attended a social gathering sponsored by the restaurant at Kalamalka Lake,” reads the report, explaining it was an “employee appreciation”

event. “At approximately 10 a.m.…they had been driven out to the lake by a limousine and consumed 12 beers between them along the way.” The partiers then boarded two boats they had earlier rented and went to an area on the lake known as Mud Bay to anchor. “Two employees entered the water to swim. One of them dropped their sunglasses into the water,” said the report. “Mr. Munroe made

a comment to the effect that he would get them and dove headfirst into the water from the swimming deck at the back of the boat.” When he didn’t’ resurface, his co-workers went to look for him. When that yielded no results, they called 911. “According to Search and Rescue personnel who recovered Mr. Munroe’s body, the water was turbid and difficult to see through.” The report failed to establish whether Munroe

could swim, although it’s known he didn’t spend much time in lakes or pools. He was physically fit and athletic with no health issues that could have contributed to his death. “He was very lean, which would decrease his buoyancy, allowing him to dive deeply in a short period of time,” the coroner said. Munroe was enrolled in the Jamaica exchange program at Okanagan College, where he was studying culinary arts.

Kelowna mayor Sharon Shepherd announced Thursday night that she will be seeking a third term as mayor in the Nov. 19. municipal election. In a press release, the mayor said her ongoing vision for Kelowna is to have “a safe, healthy and economically vibrant community where all can experience an enhanced quality of life now and into the future.” Shepherd also said she feels it’s important for the city to strive to be the best mid-sized city in the country and the recently adopted official community plan sets the guidelines for achieving that goal. “Kelowna is a leader in sustainability with solar, geothermal, district energy and recycling policies and programs, yet there is still Sharon Shepherd lots to do,” said Shepherd in the press release. Shepherd has identified new initiatives to consider including a policing advisory coalition and an alternate transportation committee to deal with walking, cycling and transit needs. She feels that the input obtained from the accessibility advisory committee and youth forums during the last few years should continue and yet there still needs to be ongoing policy improvements that would make Kelowna known as being business, child and age friendly. In 2008 Shepherd faced only one contender, Kim Ouellette. She defeated challengers Walter Gray and Ouellette as well in 2005. Ouellette garnered only one per cent of the vote in the 2008 mayoral vote as the lone opponent to Shepherd. Identified as Shepherd’s priority projects over the next few years are the downtown plan implementation and the revitalization of Bernard Avenue; Rutland Town Centre Transit Exchange; Glenmore Recreation Park lands; building a public dock on the downtown lakefront; Water Street Seniors Centre relocation to Parkinson Recreation Centre; Stuart Park expansion and relocation of the Kelowna Yacht Club; Central Green Park development with an affordable housing component; permanent site for the Kelowna Farmer’s Market; new location for a Tourism Kelowna office; Sports Hall of Fame building location and airport improvements.

Fun Facts!

/lb

Apricots are those beautifully orange coloured fruits full of betacarotene and fibre that are one of the first signs of summer. Relatives to peaches, the nutrients in apricots can help protect the heart and eyes, as well as provide the disease-fighting benefits of fibre. The high beta-carotene content of apricots makes them important heart health foods. Beta-carotene helps protect LDL cholesterol from oxidation, which may help prevent heart disease.

Residents scramble to flee complex fire Inferno from A1 Police evacuated the three adjacent buildings, while firefighters evacuated who was left in the building where the blaze broke out, and doused the flames. “Typically when fires get into an attic space and the roof, it’s harder to put it out…it’s hard to get an interior attack,” said Doherty, noting that the preliminary investigation leads the department to believe that the fire broke out on the balcony next to the Gordons’ suite. With 35 firefighters it took a couple of hours to snuff out the blaze, which

went from small to massive in short order, moving through the four-yearold building’s attic unfettered by sprinklers or even a concrete firewall. Even the absence of a fire alarm until late in the blaze wasn’t unusual, because most don’t notify residents of smoke and fire until it has entered the building. Although those safeguards were absent, said Doherty, the building was built up to code, suggesting that it may be time to adjust the goalposts when it comes to what is viewed as safe construction. “This is our third ma-

jor apartment fire in a year’s time, so it’s going to come up in discussion,” he said. “Typically what happens in that the B.C. Building Code is set and hard to implement changes that go beyond the building code.” That could point the fire department’s top people to get into a discussions with the City of Kelowna’s building department, to see if they can implement changes in their construction licensing that would assist the fire department. Until that time, however, the bigger issue will be ensuring that the 67

displaced residents with Emergency Services are taken care of, and the others who were out of town over the long weekend are alerted to what happened. They weren’t able to save much on the top floor, let alone the new residents’ home, and the lower floors suffered water and smoke damage. The cause of the fire is still under investigation and electrical experts will be on scene in the morning. A damage estimate has yet to be determined. No injuries have been reported. kmichaels @kelownacapnews.com

Mosquito buzz sends out warning Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

The irritating and increasingly common buzz of mosquitoes prompted the B.C Centre for Disease Control to issue a warning to Okanaganites—August is West Nile virus season. “If you look at historical data, human cases take place at this time of year,” said Dan Ferguson, assistant director of health protection at Interior Health, explaining what prompted the alert. And this year the threat rose with flood waters that awakened eggs that were sitting dormant for what Ferguson said were two, three or four years. Cool temperatures stopped those newborns from breeding, but rising mercury is giving them a chance to catch up and some newborns may carry West Nile virus. “We measure the number of high degree days because that’s the timeframe that a mosquito can produce another generation,” Ferguson said. “It needs to be warm and they need to be feeding.” That said, there’s been no cases of the virus showing up just yet, said Ferguson . “Across B.C., 116 human samples were tested for West Nile as of July 21, and they were all negative,” he said. “Also, 584 mosquito pools were tested and they too were all negative.” There have also been no positive test results from human, animal, or mosquito samplings in Oregon, or Washington State, which are among

the key indicators for how this region will fare. Historically, there have only been eight cases of West Nile in B.C. This year, there’s only been one case reported, and that was a Canadian who had been travelling out of the country. “However, individuals still need to be vigilant and take precautions to avoid being bit,” said Dr. Bonnie Henry, physician epidemiologist with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control. “Simple things such as using repellents outdoors, particularly in the evening and early morning when mosquitoes are

most active, is a good protective measure.” For more informa-

Water evaporation study underway Barry Gerding EDITOR

A groundbreaking three-year study on how much Okanagan Lake water is lost due to evaporation was initiated last week. The $3-million project, a partnership between the Okanagan Basin Water Board and Environment Canada, is intended to answer a puzzle to which little research has been done in the past— how much water is lost off Okanagan Lake through evaporation? Anna Warwick Sears, executive director of the

OBWB, said initial estimates put lake evaporation at one metre per year. But the Okanagan is known to be a region with water supply challenges so estimates aren’t good enough when making decision to effectively manage water resources. Warwick Sears said by determining the rate of the lake’s evaporation water loss, the water board is in a better position to deal with weather and environmental challenges such as drought. “This is a big science project with a big capital S,” she said. “We are looking at

things through this project such as relative humidity over the lake surface, intensity of the sunshine, how evaporation of the lake is affected by those elements as well as different temperatures and wind levels.” Collecting the data will be three large yellow buoys equipped with special computer monitoring software. The buoys are three metres (10 feet) tall and 1.8m (six feet) wide, which will be attached to navigation buoys. They will be located in the lake, one near Carrs Landing, one off

West Kelowna and another closer to Summerland. Warwick Sears said the three buoy monitoring stations have previously been in use by Environment Canada in the Great Lakes chain and on lakes in the prairies. She said it’s hoped the data collected on Okanagan Lake can be adapted for other lakes in Canada as well. “There is hope this will be a test case for other lakes in dry environments elsewhere in Canada,” she said. “This is a very, very good thing for us to be able to get done.” bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

A nationwide manhunt was launched Monday for the suspect in a brutal attack of a young Penticton mother. David Wesley Bobbitt is wanted on a charge of attempted murder after a 22-year-old woman was found early Sunday tied up and brutally beaten in-

side his business, Dave’s Second Hand Store at 146 Ellis St. Her two-year-old child was also found inside unharmed. Friends of the victim said she has 60 staples closing wounds on her head, black eyes and bruising down her arms from fighting off the attacker who repeatedly struck her with a sledgehammer.

David Bobbitt “The victim’s dad just gave me these (mug shots of Bobbitt) and (he) said, ‘Call your loved ones.’ If you are from Penticton, the Okanagan area call your friends, call your family, anyone you know just to make sure they are OK,’” said the victims family friend Lisa Redl. “This guy is somewhere. He could be in your backyard, he could be in your car. He could be anywhere so make that phone call.” Friends of the victim said the woman was at the store to buy a mattress for her son and as she was leaving was knocked out by a sledgehammer blow. When she woke up she was tied to a bed. Her family contacted RCMP Saturday after she failed to drop off her child before she went to work. By early Sunday morning, friends and family had found her car in the parking lot across the street with the windows rolled down and doors unlocked. They then began to

search the nearby buildings and kicked in the door of Dave’s Second Hand Store. Police arrived soon after and entered the building, finding the woman bound and suffering from serious injuries. “He said he was going to kill her and the kid,” said Redl. “The baby was beside her the whole time. This guy is psychotic and he needs to be found before he hurts somebody else if he hasn’t already.” RCMP Cpl. Dan Moskaluk said Mounties are working with detachments across the country in case Bobbitt tries to leave B.C. They don’t believe he will get far as he doesn’t have a vehicle registered in his name and because of the high level of media attention. The Penticton RCMP described Bobbitt as a white male, 35 years old, 5-foot-7, 180 pounds, brown eyes, balding brown hair, medium build and clean shaven. Anyone who has seen Bobbitt or know of his current whereabouts are asked to immediately call 911, Penticton RCMP at 250492-4300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Investigators would also like to speak to anyone who may have frequented Dave’s Second Hand Store on Saturday. Kristi Patton is a Black Press reporter.

NEWS ▼ THE ART OF CANNING

Preserving your own fruit can be hazardous to your health WORDSMITH

Jennifer Smith ly, ventures toward the absurd for some. Buying organic, local apples—probably a good thing. And the apartment mushroom aficionados, sufficed to say it’s totally possibly to be earthy without your house actually smelling like it. Just as mushrooms do not belong in a closet anymore than spinach belongs in a hanging basket above your living room lounger—if you really want to avoid E. coli poisoning from your salad greens, it might make sense to simply wash your food first—cherry jam supplies do not belong in a condo kitchen. I was fooled into thinking this was simple by the strawberries. We got the strawberries a couple of weeks ago from a field in Rutland. I bought the canning kit. Then the jars. My DVD player and TV are in pieces so we went straight to the written in-

structions. Jars went through the washer followed by the lids and washers. I found a recipe— screwed up the recipe (too little sugar). Made a couple of clean batches. Screwed up another batch—too much experimental pepper. Well, you get the point. By 1 a.m., there were about 12 jars on the counter and the house was in relatively decent shape, lulling my inner housewife into a false sense of security. I have a white kitchen. White cupboards. White carpet across the counter and beige tiles on the kitchen floor. There has been one minor issue with berries in this house already. I once forgot to put a whole freezer bag of raspberries away in the morning rush and returned home to what I thought was a murder scene. It wasn’t. Thankfully. But it did permanently alter the colour of my grout and require a scrubbing I had hoped not to repeat. And yet somehow this week I allowed a few flats of free cherries to outstrip the raspberry incident by a mile. From what I’ve just

seen, I’m going to take a guess cherries are dripping with antioxidants and all the good things intended to stave off cancer, heart attack and impotence; but their juice could be a toxic chemical for the damage it will do to one’s white paint. About 50 minutes into my new venture, after having frozen a few berries for safe keeping, I started to wonder why stores don’t carry frozen cherries. They’re like candy when the juice starts to concentrate. Five hours later I had my answer. I now have permanently pink hands and a nice-button sized punch mark from the pitter. My kitchen has sustained truly irreparable damage and we won’t even get into the names I started calling my freezer when the one bag blocked the vent and the entire fridge began melting. Needless to say I have learned my lesson— and, no, it’s not what you think. Both the strawberries and the cherries were probably excellent do-ityourself, healthier eating ventures. I just think I might

“

Out damned spot, out.” It’s the only phrase running through my head this week after a friend donated 30 pounds of cherries to my latest back-tobasics venture, canning. Free always comes with strings attached, and in this case the string is that processing 30 pounds of cherries actually might make you kill someone. And if Lady MacBeth thought the evidence stuck, well, let me tell you, she clearly hasn’t spent an evening with cherries. With the cost of food skyrocketing, do-ityourselfers everywhere are trumpeting the benefits of growing and processing your own food, but I think canning is really one idea that should come with a buyer beware sticker. It may only be $50 to buy the canning kit at Walmart, and the fruit may come free. But if my experience is any indicator, it’s probably not worth the Lithium chaser needed to regain one’s composure. You’ll be paying for that for weeks. The Slow Food, 100Mile Diet, granola-raw food wave has always had its pitfalls and, admitted-

Best to steer clear of U.S. woes

he ongoing financial struggles between Democrats and Republicans in the United States continue to send that country into economic purgatory. For the middle or lower income American to understand how or why their country has fallen so far, honest answers are hard to come by. As the elected politicians allow their own partisan brinkmanship to muddy the reasons why the U.S. is in such economic trouble, voters are left

wondering who to turn to for an honest answer. While the pending debt ceiling crisis, in which the U.S. government would forfeit on money that has already been spent, appears to have found a compromise settlement, that agreement is again all about politics and little about reviving that country’s floundering economy. U.S. President Barrack Obama remains the smartest guy in the room around Wash-

ington, D.C., but that’s not saying much considering the politicians he is surrounded by in the U.S. Senate and Congress. But while Obama’s election victory was a watershed moment in the history of the United States, the grand prize for his election victory was being handed an economic debacle that was eight years in the making under his Republican predecessor George W. Bush and his band of so-called conservative spenders.

Crippled by the lack of agreement between Democrats and Republicans, Obama is hamstrung in doing what he can from his White House pulpit to stop the bleeding. That is why it was important for the provincial government to see monthly lumber exports to China surpass the U.S. for the first time ever this year. In the global economy of today, the U.S. is being left behind, j and Canada can’t allow itself to be dragged down with it.

Green Party credibility lost under ‘tinfoil-hat’ science

he election of Elizabeth May as Canada’s first-ever Green Party MP was supposed to be a breakthrough for environmental issues. Finally embraced by voters in the organic farming region of SaanichGulf Islands, May was given a mandate to change the political conversation about sustainable development, climate change and pollution. The breakthrough might even translate to the provincial level, where Jane Sterk is the latest of a line of B.C. Green leaders to toil in obscurity. It’s too bad they both threw away their scientific credibility last week, by chiming in with the tiny tinfoil-

hat movement and its trumped-up opposition to BC Hydro’s transition to wireless meters. May got the tinfoil ball rolling by decrying the use of wireless Internet. It might be contributing to bee colony collapse, she mused on Twitter, to much ridicule. Apparently she believes that using a computer connected by a wire keeps her free from the radio waves that surround us all. They are generated not only by computers, cell phones and smart meters but all sources of light,

including the infrared light that accompanies body heat. May then cited the much-hyped revelation that the World Health Organization has listed Tom radio-frequency waves Fletcher as a possible carcinogen. Radio waves such as those generated by cell phones and wireless routers were moved to a classification called 2B, which also includes such volatile substances as pickled vegetables. What this actually means is that health effects can’t be ruled out. It’s impossible to prove that something’s

VICTORIA VIEWS

impossible. But after many years of study, the evidence that cell phones and such devices cause illness remains at precisely zero. With May alongside, Sterk called a news conference last week to demand a halt to BC Hydro’s smart meter program. The first question from a reporter was, why are you reversing the BC Greens’ 2009 election platform, which called for installation of smart meters by 2012, followed by imposition of time-of-use electricity pricing to reduce consumption? Sterk expressed surprise, apparently having forgotten her own position from only two years ago. Political credibility takes years to build but

only seconds to destroy. I attended the B.C. Green Party’s 2007 leadership convention at which Sterk was elected. It came after a long and divisive debate over whether cell phones could be used at the meeting. They were finally allowed, but this “issue” apparently took up more time than any policy discussion. Why is BC Hydro putting in smart meters? First, mechanical meters are obsolete and soon won’t be available. Second, B.C. is about twice as big as Germany. Finding, let alone fixing damaged power lines is a monumental task. A smart grid (much more See Fletcher A11

The cure is in seven major decisions by governments: 1) Adopt a zero tolerance policy to all traffic violations. Consider them as criminal, even though they may not fall under the Federal Criminal Code 2) Establish minimum penalties, doubling with each repeat offence within three years, with no available judge’s discretion to reduce the penalty 3) Adopt a mandatory “two or three strikes and your out” policy which includes, loss of vehicle, licence and severe jail time for those who ignore any imposed suspensions or seizure orders 4) Mandatory driver education for offenders re-acquiring licensing and vehicle recovery after convictions, perhaps with a sign like the “L” or “N”, say “DD”, advertising this vehicle is driven by a dangerous driver for certain serious convictions; 5) Increased court rooms and judges dealing only with traffic offences, and no summer recess to delay justice; 6) Require those with serious convictions and all new drivers to take a visual classroom course on the victim impact statements about life after the death or critical injury of a family member; ensure it is graphic, and 7) Build a dedicated highway policing

force (BCHP) which cannot be reassigned to other duties to cover for increased police needs in other areas of enforcement. This could easily be created by looking to early retired police from all jurisdictions. This is probably the single highest impact, criminal act, directly affecting the general public, and needs and deserves undivided political attention. How to implement and pay for all this is, of course, the ultimate question. B.C. just cut alcohol related deaths in half by doing a bold and decisive move—severely penalized drinking drivers and that was accomplished by cutting the legal limit for bloodstream alcohol from .08 to .05 about a 37 per cent reduction! Some European countries went further, to zero tolerance for alcohol, and got even greater reduction in alcohol related vehicle deaths. What a concept! Politicians and civil servants will stonewall the implementation by delays, focus groups, stakeholder open houses and consultant study programmes. Millions will be spent and lives will continue to be lost unless you and I and lots of other common people say “enough. The cure to carnage exists—get the backbone and courage to just do it,” to our politicians. Doug Waines, Kelowna

Pickup truck drivers make everyone aggressive To the editor: I have written many letters to your paper, mostly about the driving habits in this area. Each day I venture out on the roads here, I see examples of sheer idiocy and lack of common courtesy, all

served with a helping of speeding. To me, the new breed of pickup trucks has brought forward drivers who wish to mark their trucks with insignia showing how many “road-kills” they have made, just like

WW2 pilots used to, as it seems that most accidents involve a truck. This is very unfortunate, as a truck is designed to help us in today’s world, not add to our list of fatalities on our roads. All we need is more

traffic patrols, better ways to licence these new truckers, and a commercial speed limit to slow these trucks down along with cars whose drivers try to compete with them. I would suggest anyone who does not agree

with me to take a drive to Penticton, set your cruise control and hang on tight. I have nothing left to say, as this will give one a good picture of the situation. Ron Barnard, West Kelowna

Speed bump raises ire of Begley Road resident To the editor: Having gathered, with others, signatures to have the silly speed bump on the lower western section of Begley Road removed, I would like to thank all those who signed that petition and now ask you to inform our mayor and her council of your wish to have the damn thing removed as quickly as at all possible, as it serves no reasonable purpose than that of a political favour to the developer and this one client. It is rather amusing to hear of how aggressive

and demanding we were at that speed bump in the two-hour period, that one afternoon. Yep, four old fogies and two signs, standing up for what we thought was an injustice on the part of the developer and the City of Kelowna, must have really been a great threat to all of you who, so willingly, stopped and signed to protest the exhibition of gross bias on the part of the road division of the City of Kelowna in allowing the placement of that speed bump in the first instance, and

if we don’t unite to have it removed, we can expect more restrictions on travel. That was exposed in a recent meeting with two city representatives. Just how threatening were we? The guy in the house beside the speed bump must have thought that we were pretty good because when he waved at us from across the road, he indicated that we were number one. Oh, perhaps he forgot to hold up all his fingers except the one and didn’t really mean that we were so great. He may have even had writ-

ers cramp, as he didn’t stay long enough to sign up too. Thanks again for your support, but if this speed bump is a big enough issue with you, bombard the mayor and council with letters, email, or whatever to remind her and council that when you go to the polls this fall, you’d really hate to have to drive over that speed bump. Bill Kopetski’s cattle, down in the meadow where Black Mountain Drive now exists, may have created a bit of a smell in their time, but it

was a much higher class of B.S. than that which we have had to endure from city officials since Melcor Developments reared up. In closing, I’d also like to thank the few anuses who found it necessary to exhibit their driving skills in that area, which provoked the ire of that other segment of equal ambition to press for and approve the speed bump and screw it up for the rest of us.

Snail mail Greens: Radio waves OK Express yourself Fletcher from A10 than just digital meters) is not only self-assessing, it can be made self-healing, rerouting power to blacked-out areas when weather, transformer failure or vehicle accidents cut power. Do smart meters continuously communicate with a “mother ship,” as some claim? Do they record when you get up at

night to pee? No and no. These are the kinds of nonsense claims that surround the smart meter issue. BC Hydro says four to six transmissions from a smart meter to a local hub each day amount to about a minute in total. Radio wave exposure is equivalent to a half-hour cell phone call every 20 years. The British National Cancer Institute just pub-

lished an extensive study of children with brain tumours and exposure to cell phones. Like previous studies, it found no correlation.

Happy 50 Birthday Alex

To the editor: The result of poor overall driving habits of Kelowna drivers was a pair of tragic deaths. (Adopt a Highway Volunteer Killed, July 22 Capital New.s) There are known causes and there is a cure. Lest you think I am not qualified to speak to the subject, I held a class one licence and voluntarily gave it up on my 70th birthday. I drove buses and motor coaches in Western Canada. As a personal choice having no tickets on the class 1 licence, I also took several defensive driving courses ranging from half day to three days in length. They taught me to drive defensively and eliminate bad decisions. The root cause of the vast majority of incidents (there are very few true “accidents’) with vehicles is driver error. Driver error begins with attitude toward the responsibility involved in owning and driving a vehicle and includes poor maintenance and wilful breaking of the rules of the road. Contributing causes to poor driver attitude are: poor training, lack of enforcement of the Highway Traffic Act; and judges with no ability or who lack the will to pass fair, punitive sentences on repeat offenders; and provincial and municipal governments unwilling to support a strong enough police presence and education program because of the direct financial cost.

Study examines if bipolar disorder contributes to violence

re mentally ill people more likely to be violent? That is certainly the impression you could get from media reports, crime shows and the exaggerated stories of some. A typical horror story often begins with a “mentally unstable” individual launching into a series of heinous violent crimes. Although these kinds of stories chill our blood on a hot day, they do not actually represent the facts. I have mentioned in past columns that the mentally ill are in reality more likely to be the victims of violent crime than the perpetrators.

HEALING MINDS

Paul Latimer One study out of Sweden sought to definitively answer this issue when it comes to individuals with bipolar disorder—one of the illnesses characterized by shifts in mood states between the lows of depression and the reckless, agitated highs of mania. Some feel this condition is likely to contribute to violence. In this study, research-

ers gathered comprehensive, population-wide data by analyzing hospital discharge records between 1973 and 2004. They compared the data of 3,743 individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder on at least two occasions with over 37,000 unaffected people from the general population and just over 4,000 unaffected full siblings. Information was cross-referenced against a database of convictions for violent crimes in that country. The prevalence of violent crime was 8.4 per cent for patients, 3.5 per cent for the population controls and 6.2 per cent

for siblings. When adjusted for relevant demographic factors, the odds ratio for patients was 2.3 compared with the population and 1.6 compared with siblings. The interesting part of this study is that patients who did not have co-existing substance abuse also did not have a significantly increased likelihood of violence. When the data was analyzed while only comparing those with substance abuse to the controls, the odds ratios were much higher—6.4 compared to the population and 2.8 compared to siblings.

‘‘

THE INTERESTING PART OF THIS STUDY IS THAT PATIENTS WHO DID NOT HAVE CO-EXISTING SUBSTANCE ABUSE ALSO DID NOT HAVE A SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED LIKELIHOOD OF VIOLENCE.

screening and assessment is an important part of the ongoing treatment of anyone with a psychiatric problem. Many people try to self-medicate with drugs or alcohol and these can do a lot of harm, making symptoms of the disorder worse and can even increase the likelihood of violence in some patients.

control groups were analyzed based on their own substance abuse, the rates of violent crime were much higher—33 per cent for the general population and 42 per cent for the sibling group. So, although bipolar disorder does involve the manic mood state with impulsive behaviours, recklessness and feelings of agitation, the real danger for increased violence is associated with substance abuse rather than the mood state itself. That said, substance abuse is much more common among individuals with bipolar disorder than it is in the general public. Substance abuse

York where they spent a busy week training with performance coach Norma Garbo (Taylor Swift, Scissor Sisters, Kara Dioguardi) in preparation for their performance at the Rockwood Music Hall. The performers, ages 14 to 31, performed a ninesong set to a full house of singing and cheering audience members from around the world. “The experience was over the top,” said Noel Wentworth, vice-president of education at Wentworth Music. “We could not believe at the end of the performance the number of people who approached us asking where we were from and how old our band members were. “We exchanged business cards from a Broadway producer, talent management, and even had a request to send in a demo to the president of Mercu-

ry Records.” This is the second international trip students from the Wentworth Music Education Centre have taken this year. “Our last band trip in March to Singapore opened up quite a few doors,” explained Wentworth. Wentworth Music has had leaders in music education come from as far away as England and Singapore to learn about their school here in Kelowna. “It’s amazing how small the world is,” said Wentworth. “Now with our trip to New York under our belt, I feel we are starting to validate the international attention we have been working so hard to achieve. “The possibilities for the future are endless. If we can make it to New York, we can make it anywhere!”

NEWS ▼ WILLOWBRIDGE

Special anniversary for transition housing This month, on Aug. 11, the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Kelowna branch will mark the one-year anniversary of the Willowbridge Transitional Housing Project. To celebrate the occasion, an open house of the facility will take place, from 1 to 3 p.m., at 330 Boyce Cres. The building was funded by the provincial and federal governments on land donated to the project by the City of Kelowna. The ongoing operation and maintenance of the building is provided by the CMHA’s Kelowna branch through funding provided by B.C. Housing. The building is comprised of 40 studio apartments with a large common space for programming, socializing and preparing meals.

The focus of the program is to provide shortterm supported housing for individuals who experience multiple barriers to maintaining longer term housing. CMHA staff are on hand 24/7 to work closely with tenants to ensure they have the tools they need to be successful in their next step. A key component of the program is the connection tenants have to community agencies and supports. In the past year, 84 people between the ages of 20 and 87 have lived at Willowbridge, many who have moved on to successfully being housed in this and other communities “Because of Willowbridge, I went from living on the street to having everything that one would need to succeed in life, in just a few short months. If it were not for the staff

London Drugs has partnered with SPCA branches in the Interior to boost the money raised for this event.

I cannot tell you what a positive impact Willowbridge had on me.” “It’s a privilege to be a part of this work and being a part of seeing the tenants of Willowbridge discover their own resilience, learn

new skills, build new positive relationships and take the next step in their lives,” said Shelagh Turner, executive director of the Kelowna branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association. “There is still so much work to do in our community, but this anniversary is a time to celebrate the hard work of the tenants and the great work of the

▼ MP’S REPORT

Honouring the volunteer spirit O

ften in my past columns, I have talked about the value and important role volunteers play in our community. So I was very saddened to hear that one of those special people, Stew Tuningley of West Kelowna, lost his life while volunteering with the Westbank Lioness and Lions Clubs. It is an unspeakable tragedy, a terrible loss for his family and friends and a loss for the community. What would our communities do without the Stew Tuningleys of this world? Week after week, year after year, they are out in the community doing what they can to make it a better place for the rest of us without any expectation of recognition. These are the folks who lead fundraising events or spearhead new initiatives to tackle local challenges. They are the key to the success of our communities and every day their contributions help make Canada stronger by making a difference and inspiring hope. The Prime Minister’s Volunteer Awards is

Ron Cannan a new program that has been created to celebrate these contributions. These awards highlight best practices in community leadership and encourage partnerships across sectors. A total of 17 awards will be given—15 regional and two national awards. Recipients will be eligible to identify a notfor-profit organization to receive a grant for $5,000 (regional awards) or $10,000 (national awards). Regional awards include three categories: • Community Leader Award • Business Leader Award • Social Innovator Award. There will be two national awards: • Emerging Leader Award

• Lifelong Achievement Award. The first call for nominations is open from July 12 to Sept. 9. Award recipients will be recognized at an award ceremony to be held in early 2012. In honour of Stew, I’d like to encourage as many of you as possible to nominate a volunteer or volunteer organization, a business or a not-for–profit organization to receive this award. Better yet, I’d like to encourage as many of you to attend this year’s Okanagan Volunteer Opportunities Fair on Saturday, Sept. 10, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m, at the Parkinson Recreation Centre. I’ll be there at the opening ceremonies and hope that the passion so many of us shares for volunteering inspires you to get involved. While Stew may not be here to join us, it would be a fitting legacy to him

to see more citizens inspired to volunteer in our community. To learn more about the Prime Minister’s Volunteer Awards, I encourage you to visit www. pm.gc.ca/awards or call 1-877-825-0434. For more information on the Okanagan Volunteers Opportunities Fair, please go to www.kcr.ca or contact Dawn Wilkinson, coordinator community information for the Volunteer Centre, at 250-763-8008, ext. 24, or email informkelowna@ kcr.ca.

NEWS ▼ TAX FREE SAVINGS ACCOUNT

New tax planning strategy offers many options T ax Free Savings Account (TFSA), is the newest tax planning strategy available to Canadians. TFSAs have clear advantages when used properly. There is an annual limit of $5,000, and this plan has been available for three years. Canadians over age 18 now have $15,000 of accumulation room. Let’s compare a TFSA with a non-registered savings account. Contributions to both plans are made with after tax dollars. You can hold similar types of investments in

Be sure to contact

FISCAL FITNESS

Doreen Smith both plans. The TFSA allows taxfree earnings on investments held under this structure. The non-registered accounts return is taxed. Capital gains, dividend and interest income earned in a TFSA is not included in taxable income, and future withdrawals do not incur any

tax. When choosing the type of investment to put into a TFSA, remember tax rates vary on different types of investments. Capital gains receive the most preferred tax treatment, followed by eligible dividends and then non-eligible dividends. The least tax efficient income is interest income. Money withdrawn from a RRSP or RRIF is taxed as income in the year received. A general guideline is to utilize a RRSP when a client’s tax rate is higher now than the expected tax rate in retirement. You should compare a TFSA, a non-regis-

tered account and a RRSP as part of your financial plan. Should you put your TFSA into an interest bearing savings account? Most Canadians have parked their TFSA in a savings account earning minimal interest, because they have been told by their financial institution that is what to do. This may not be in your best interest. As a Certified Financial Planner and as a TFSA owner, I believe most people are not utilizing their TFSA investment choice to their own advantage. I have not parked

my TFSA in a low paying savings account. I reviewed my asset allocation, longevity and cash flow. My TFSA is in a growth type of investment. Many financial institutions charge fees on their TFSA accounts, why should you pay a fee to withdraw your own money? You should work with a financial institution that does not charge fees on their TFSA accounts. You can transfer your TFSA from one financial institution to another using a government transfer form provided by your financial advisor.

If you parked your TFSA in a savings account earning minimal interest, you can transfer to a dividend or growth oriented investment at a different financial institution. TFSAs will eventually produce higher account balances since taxes do not have to be paid on an annual basis on the investment growth. Instead of contributing to a TFSA annually, another option is to purchase life insurance to substantially increase an estate value. Joint last-to-die life insurance is a very effective estate planning tool. A couple age 65, with a joint-last-to die

Ask the

life insurance policy of $350,000, can pay an annual premium less than their TFSA contribution. This insurance strategy can increase their estate value many times over. Choose your TFSA wisely!

When you hear the words Chronic Disease, it can conjure up images of your grandparents stooped over, leaning on their canes, and headed toward their wheelchairs! In fact, Chronic Disease presents with many different faces; some of them, as young as you! In the states, nearly one in two Americans, (133 million) has a chronic health condition. Most individuals (58%) are between the ages of 18 and 64. Wikipedia deﬁnes Chronic Disease as a disease or human health condition that is persistent or long lasting. Diabetes, Osteoporosis, Chronic Fatigue, COPD, High Blood Pressure and more, all fall under that umbrella. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that chronic conditions are the leading causes of mortality in the world, representing 35 million deaths in 2005 alone! Over the next four weeks, Phoenix Health & Fitness is going to touch on Chronic Disease as well as tell you what we are trying to do about it! Stay tuned! We are excited to share with you! Learn more through the next Chronic Disease Management program starting September 2011. For more information contact Phoenix Health & Fitness at 250-212-7335 on the Interior Health partnership program. (www.phoenixﬁtnesskelowna.ca)

What are the beneﬁts of advertising my business or services in “Ask the Experts”?

Newspapers are used to plan purchases, either for an immediate need or a future purchase. While the economy might have changed the way Canadians shop, one thing that hasn’t changed is the tool that they use to make their shopping decisions. Most adults identify newspapers as the way they use to plan shopping or make purchasing decisions. Secondly, newspapers ads are WELCOMED! In other media, ads are actively avoided. Newspaper is one of the few types of media where readers indicate that they want the ads. Newspapers score higher than T.V., Radio and the Internet in terms of Canadians. Lastly, newspaper readers take action, over 10 million Canadians read a newspaper on an average weekday. But they don’t just read the paper, they are moved to action based on the advertising contained in it.

HOME INSPECTION MYTHS Part 2

Having faulty or misquided beliefs about home inspection services can lead to poor buying processes & suspect ﬁnal decisions. Craig Hostland, of Pillar to Post, North America’s leading provider of home-inspection services, offers responses to some of the most common myths about home inspection. Myth: The inspection report functions as a list of

repairs the seller needs to complete.

Fact: You can choose to use the inspection as a repair list, or as a negotiation tool to move the deal forward. Your agent will assist in the details. Your home inspector should have the skill to clarify any and all points raised by the inspection. Myth: The home inspection will go ﬁne without

your presence.

Fact: You don’t need to be there, but it’s a good idea and a great way to learn how to operate systems in the home and understand its condition. It also lets you ask questions of the inspector and the seller at the appropriate time. Qualiﬁed home inspectors conduct a thorough visual inspection of all elements of a home and check items for function. The more qualiﬁed the more knowledge you can gain about the home and its systems, before you buy it.

When is the best time to sell?

Even in a buyer’s market homes will sell. All it takes is a willing buyer and a willing seller at an agreed upon price. Certainly there are market conditions that may make the timing of selling your home more advantageous at one time or another. Typically, ensuring your home is well priced, both the exterior and interior are at their absolute best in order to attract a buyer and choosing a REALTOR® to work for you, will aid in securing the best price and sale conditions. An experienced REALTOR® will help to ﬁnd the balance between walk away and ensuring nothing is left on the table.With careful planning, it is possible to buy and sell in this market and come out ahead. Choose the Right Agent for today’s market! Contact Sharon Black, REALTOR®, ABR® ASP® Successfully negotiating for buyers and sellers for over 30 years!

SENIORS

▼ RED CROSS

Health equipment loans helpful S eniors who experience a sudden illness or accident are often left stunned by how quickly their lives have changed. A car accident, a sudden slip in the snow, or a heart attack can leave a senior helpless in a home built for the able-bodied. After hip or knee surgery, a broken bone, or the onset of debilitating disease, everyday tasks can become unmanageable. For more than 50 years, the Canadian Red Cross has offered Health Equipment Loan Programs. HELP is a community-based, non-profit society, which is volunteerdriven. The program provides free, short-term loans of essential medical equipment that allows seniors to safely recover at home. The B.C. Southern Interior Region of the Canadian Red Cross serves British Columbians from Williams Lake south to the United States border and from Lillooet and

SENIORS’ CONCERNS

Sharen Marteny Princeton east to the Alberta border. It is the same area the Interior Health Authority covers. Within this region, some 34 communities are served by the health equipment loan program. Seniors are referred by health care practitioners who prescribe the appropriate equipment to support their care at home. The equipment is loaned out for a maximum of three months. The required amount of time is prescribed by the health care practitioner. Equipment is also available for palliative seniors. The equipment offered is crutches, walkers, canes, wheelchairs, bathroom aids, commodes

and other specialized health equipment. Equipment can be donated to HELP. All of the equipment is cleaned, disinfected and refurbished by skilled volunteers before it is put back into service. When caring for seniors who have experienced a sudden change in their health any delay in getting support can feel like an eternity. Seniors can only access HELP if there is a volunteer available at the site in each community. HELP relies on volunteer and donor support to exist. All of the community sites that provide HELP are managed by dedicated and trained volunteers. They assist the seniors in getting the equipment they need to live a full and independent life. Volunteers are the backbone of the Red Cross. They rely on the donated time and talents of volunteers to deliver hope and help to vulnerable seniors in times of need.

Are you or a loved one suffering from Memory Loss? Are you looking to be a part of the research to identify a possible treatment option for Alzheimer’s Disease? You may qualify for a research study if:

People can volunteer their time and skills to provide a much needed service to members of their community. It is asked that the volunteer commit to a minimum of four hours per week for six months. Our community is fortunate to have longterm volunteers who truly believe in the value that HELP provides to seniors. People can donate money to ensure that the Canadian Red Cross is able to continue to provide HELP and other services to communities. All money donated stays in that community. Each year, with the financial support of the community, Red Cross programs in British Columbia’s Southern Interior touch the lives of more than 75,000 people.

Study sheds light on seniors’ diets Canadian seniors like taking part in family meals, but they often eat alone. That is according to a research study conducted for the Home Instead Senior Care network, which showed that lack of the shared family experience, including companionship, is the biggest mealtime challenge for seniors. The Home Instead Senior Care network surveyed Canadian seniors aged 75 and older who live alone in their own home, to measure mealtime routines, challenges and preferences. According to the 2006 Canada Census, about 37

per cent of the population age 75 and older—1.8 million people—lives alone. This new study shows that almost (46 per cent) of them have at least four warning signs of poor nutritional health. According to the research, the most common of these warning signs and their incidence rates are: • Eating alone most of the time (76 per cent) • Taking three or more different medications a day (67 per cent) • Eating few fruits, vegetables or milk products (36 per cent) • Tooth or mouth problems that make it hard to eat (29 per cent).

“We know from experience that many families live too far away or don’t have the time to help their aging parents,” said Don Henke, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office at 202-1449 St. Paul St. in Kelowna. “But our research shows that seniors eat more nutritiously when family and friends are around. They really enjoy having that connection with someone.” The study reflected why seniors find themselves without mealtime companionship. The most common obstacles that prevent these seniors from sharing more meals are

not being able to drive (23 per cent), family/friends don’t have enough time (22 per cent), and family/ friends live too far away (17 per cent). All this has prompted the Home Instead Senior Care network to develop a public education program called Craving CompanionshipSM, which is designed to help seniors stay connected socially and eat more nutritiously, and to help families support a nutritiously vulnerable population—older adults who live alone.

▼ PJ’S PARTY CAKES

Birthday cake specialist carries on family tradition Maxine DeHart This week’s column is dedicated to two friends who passed away last week. Cheryl Brown, with The Bay, and Doreen Jorde. Personal condolences to all their family and friends.

J’s Party Cakes, owned and operated by Kelowna’s very own “cake boss” Daren Williams, celebrates its 35th anniversary this month. Just about everyone I know has purchased an amazing specialized edible cake from Williams over the years. He creates his cakes under the pretense of “anything goes” from any picture you take into him. Every single one is definitely a work of art. He does an incredible job with rolled fondant, topsy-turvy and mad hatter types of cakes. Located at 2571 Richter St., the creative cake decorating genes go way back in the Williams family. Daren’s great uncle opened the first cake decorating store in London, England, in 1886 called the Big Cake Shoppe. There is an amazing black and white photo on display at PJ’s of his uncle and one of his decorated cakes and newspaper ads. Dar-

en’s mother also spent 50 years baking and decorating cakes and actually worked with him in past years. If you are looking for something extremely unique that also tastes great call 250-763-1144; www.pjscakes.com.

As well, you can tour The Factory, a wonderful new building which houses the gallery. Call 250-470-9586; or info@jockhildebrand. com www.jockhildebrand.com. Angie Bricker, former owner of Natural Belly and Baby, has opened a new adult women’s clothing store, called Earth Whimsy—Artisans Market, at 1331 Ellis St. Her love for fashions, especially vintage, is a huge influence in the shop as she is sourcing one-ofa-kind vintage garments from several eras for the store. She also stocks “altered couture,” garments that have been made from used or repurposed fabrics to add to their appeal and lifespan. Earth Whimsy also carries local jewelry, designed by Sarah Byrnes of SIMS and Earth Lab Cosmetics, locally manufactured by Jennifer and Scott MacDougall. Bricker invites local original artists to showcase their work in the store as well as local handcrafters, artisans and designers. Earth Whim-

The Rockies went 1-3 in the 10-team tournament with their lone victory coming against Cloverdale. The Kelowna Reds also posted a 1-3 mark, with their victory coming against Tri-City.

Silver lining for junior Raiders Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

During the 2011 lacrosse season, there was only one team the Kelowna Raiders just didn't have an answer for. The Port Moody Thunder beat the Raiders 15-8 in Sunday afternoon's gold medal final in Kamloops to win the B.C junior B lacrosse championship. The Raiders ran into penalty trouble early and often in the final and the Thunder took full advantage with eight power play goals. "Every time we scored a goal, we got a penalty and that really hurt us," said Raiders coach Kel-

ly Cahill. "It was unfortunate, we were a but undisciplined and we paid for it. We got behind early and couldn't make it back. "We were disappointed, but second in the province is a pretty nice accomplishment. It was our objective to get to the gold medal game and we did that." The Raiders, who won the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League title a week earlier beating Kamloops, opened the B.C. tournament Friday with a 5-4 win over the same Venom team. On Saturday, Kelowna lost 8-4 to Port Moody, then beat Cowichan 9-2 to finish second overall and advance to the gold med-

al game. There were individual accolades for the Raiders as captain Tyler French was named the provincial tournament MVP. French and Brendan Urban— who led the Raiders in goal scoring at provincials—were named to the first all-star team. Jordan Urban and Lucas Cahill were named to the second all-star team. It was the team's first season under the banner of the Kelowna Raiders as the Rutland Raiders and Kelowna Warriors merged prior to 2011 due to a shortage of junioraged players in the region. With Daryl French serving as manager, and Cahill and Travis Wray

sharing the coaching duties, the Raiders posted a 13-2 record to finish first in TOJLL. The subsequent league championship win over Kamloops was the first for a Kelowna team since Rutland won TOJLL back in 2001. Cahill said with the current number of junior players in the Central Okanagan it will be at least two more years before Kelowna can entertain the idea of forming two teams. Cahill said he and French will now step aside from their coaching and managing duties, and expects Travis Wray to remain on in his current capacity.

Jason Casey has no complaints about the end result in his team's B.C. Football Conference regular season opener. The rookie head coach does, however, have some concerns about the Okanagan Sun's overall lack of mental sharpness in Sunday's 40-14 win over the hometown Kamloops Broncos. "I'm pleased with our effort, but we need to do a lot of mental work, there were mental mistakes and brain cramps, the guys need to educate themselves better about what's happening out there," said Casey. "What I saw a lot of was missed responsibilities, guys not in the right place at the right time. We were probably lucky to be playing a team that, on paper, was not as talented as us. I think if we had opened against Nanaimo and played like that, we get our butts kicked." Still, despite a slow start on a windy evening at Hillside Stadium, Casey said his club did get better as the game progressed and was firing much better on both sides of the ball by the fourth quarter. Incumbent No. 1 quarterback Bobby Davis played the first half, spotted the Sun to a 13-7 lead, then switched over to the

safety position for the second half. Newcomer Jeremy Joseph was impressive in relief of Davis at QB, completing eight of 13 passes for 148 yards and two touchdowns. The former St. FX pivot also ran for 63 yards and a pair of majors. Casey said with the two players possessing the talents and athletic abilities of Joseph and Davis, it's important to get both on the field. "It's great to know that if J.J. does become a starter week to week, then we can use Bobby's talents elsewhere. He's a stud back there at safety and, whatever position he's at, we want him on the field. Both those guys can be valuable at more than one position. It's good to know we have two guys who can play quarterback equally well." The Sun was given a productive day by a pair of rookie running backs. Alex Bradley had 64 yards on seven carries, while Mt. Boucherie grad Mikhail Maloff added 54 yards on 11 carries. Ben White led the receiving corps with five catches for 127 yards and

a touchdown, while fellow veteran Tommy Howes grabbed six balls for 78 yards and

two scores. Defensively, Casey liked the effort of Brandon Donkers and, as usual, Steven Doege, who recorded a sack to move to within one of the all-time BCFC record. The Sun will now get ready for the Langley Rams who will visit the Apple Bowl on Saturday night. Casey said the biggest challenge for his club will be containing kick return specialist Nick Downey. "He's the best guy in the country, we'll have to be disciplined, have our coverage team work together, not rush in flailinh at his ankles, and contain him," said Casey. "He's going to get his yards, we just have to be sure they don't kill us with that part of the game." In other opening weekend action, the defending B.C. champ Vancouver Island Raiders downed the Rams 39-13, while the Westshore (Victoria) Rebels beat up on Chilliwack 37-8. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna athletes off to Children’s Games in Scotland Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

The legacy of Kelowna hosting the International Children's Games earlier this year is alive and well in the form of 18 Kelowna athletes headed to Scotland for an experience they will not soon forget. A full delegation of 38 people from Kelowna— athletes, coaches, friends and family—are headed for Lanarkshire, Scotland and the International Children's Summer Games. The event takes place Aug. 3 to 8 and Kelowna is one of eight Canadian cities attending the games. At 18, Kelowna is sending the maximum number of athletes to the Scottish city. That's thanks to the job Kelowna did when it hosted the International Winter Games less than a year ago, in January. t Kelowna head of delegation Heather Schneider said the city likely would not have been sending as many athletes to Scotland tif it had not hosted the first ever winter games outside of Europe last year. "This is what happens," said Schneider. "We were very fortunate to be able to host and as k

Ten girls and eight boys between the ages of 12 and 14 make up the Kelowna contingent. They will compete in swimming. track and field, golf and sailing. None of the athletes have ever been to Scotland or participated in an International Children's Game event.

"These athletes are going to have a truly unique experience," said Schneider. "They're going to meet new friends and exchange with different cultures. They will become friends for a lifetime. The International Games is that true spirit of friendship for youth. It's not for Olympic athletes or athletes in their 20s and 30s. It's for athletes just beginning their careers." Up to 80 cities

from around the world and 1,500 athletes are expected to participate in the games in Lanarkshire. Kelowna's inclusion as a former host city will extend to the International Children's Games general assembly, a group that includes all 40 past host city's and makes up part of the International Children's Games governing body. Kelowna is now included in the general assembly.

Youngsters excited for Games

Adam Murray is one of several Kelowna athletes who will represent the new Okanagan Athletics Club at this week's International Children's Games in Scotland. The Okanagan Mission Grade 9 student will krun the 1,500 metre race. "I'm really excited to represent Kelowna in front of all the other cities," said Murray. "It's the farthest I've ever traveled. It's go-

ing to be amazing." Murray, 14, is coming off a foot injury, but hopes to have a good showing. "I would absolutely love to be the very first 14-year-old to cross and to be in the top 10 overall," he said. Fellow track and field runner Cassie Laturnus is also heading to Scotland for the first time, but she does have experience in the Children's Games,

having played hockey when Kelowna hosted in January. "I met a bunch of kids and you got to see where they are from and how they liked it," she recalled. "It was a really good experience." Laturnus will run in the 800 metre race as well

as the 4x100 metres, along with Kelowna teammates Kennedy Kneller, Katrina Ledding and Elina Painchaud. "I'm very excited," she said. “It's going to be really fun. Mostly I'm excited to meet new people and to see a different place."

Major midgets evaluation Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

After failing to make the playoffs for the first time since the inception of the B.C. Major Midget League last season, plans to bounce back begin this coming weekend for the Okanagan Rockets. The Rockets’ evaluation camp for prospective players will hit the Rutland Arena Aug. 5 to 7. The Rockets missed the playoffs last season after a year that saw the team slump after a midseason coaching change. "Last year we were a team that competed but we had that lull after (coach Misko Antisin) left where everyone was trying to figure out their roles," said team manager David Michaud. "By the time we got everyone back on track it was a little too late." Antisin left to coach in Switzerland, leaving assistant Brandon West as the head coach. West has since moved on as an assistant coach with the Westside Warriors and B.C. Hockey announced James Eccles as the Rockets’ new head coach. Michaud says the stability in having a coach on board through the off season and heading into the season will help the team. "I really think the program will take a signifi-

"We've made a heavy investment in technology for video analysis. Every year you're involved you try to take it up a notch." Along with Eccles, a former Warriors assistant coach, Michaud says the coaching staff is set, although B.C. Hockey has yet to announce the assistant coaches. Former junior goaltender Devon Murtagh, a Kelowna native, will help goaltenders. Michaud says he is trying to emulate the successful junior program run by the Kelowna Rockets adding that he leans on the WHL franchise for help along the way. "A lot of the way we

run our program is a credit to the Kelowna Rockets, who have shown us a great example," he said. "My relationship with them has been invaluable. Their doors are always open to us and that relationship continues to be very important to us." This year the team has its own dressing room and coach's office at the Capital News Centre and will continue to play their home games at CNC, Saturday's at 3 p.m. and Sunday's at 10 a.m. Up to 100 players are expected at this weekend's camp before the team is cut to 40 prior to exhibition games in early September. The final roster must be set by Sept. 15. The Rockets season opens Sept. 24 against the Vancouver Canadians.

B.C. rugby squad warms up for visit to Kelowna The B.C. Senior Men’s Rugby Team ran in six tries at Klahanie Park

against the 2010 Canadian Rugby Championship (CRC) winner The Rock

in the opening match of their 2011 CRC campaign. The final score was 43-19 for the B.C. side, who did not win a game in 2010. After falling behind 3-0 in a penalty kick from Rock fly half Dean Blanks, all three inside backs for BC scored tries in the first 25 minutes of the first half. Outside centre Conor Trainor started the barrage when he burst through the Atlantic team’s defensive line to give BC a 7-3 lead. After another Rock penalty goal, BC’s inside centre Jo Dolesau crossed the Rock try line, followed by BC and Canadian fly half Nathan Hirayama. A late try by Rock fullback Morgan Lovell took the score to 24-11 at the half. Strong play by the

B.C. forwards, including second rower Liam Chisholm from the Kelowna Crows, made the second half as tough for The Rock as it was earlier in the game. Trainor scored his second try, converted by Hirayama, to give B.C. a 31-11 lead. The Rock clawed back into contention with an unconverted try and a penalty goal, but BC got two more tries from flanker Josh Clarke and winger Esava Nakulanisa to round out the 43-19 win. The Prairie Wolf Pack also started the CRC season on a winning note, defeating the Ontario Blues 31-25 in Calgary. The B.C. Senior Men take on the Wolf Pack at the Apple Bowl in Kelowna on Aug. 13 at 2:30 p.m.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen healthy starts here Mairlyn Smith is a professional home economist who believes that healthy eating can not only taste fabulous, but that it’s essential to a happy and healthy life, and she’s written a cookbook to prove it. Called Healthy Starts Here, published by Whitecap Books, her book is packed with 140 recipes that are nutrient-dense, and focus on the use of local, seasonal ingredients. In addition, she concentrates on foods which could reduce the chances of your developing heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer’s. Because of her concern that we eat way too much sodium, most of her recipes contain flavourings other than salt, yet they’re pretty delicious, so it’s no loss. There are a lot of tips, and plenty of advice in this new cookbook about healthy eating, and it all looks pretty easy and pretty sensible to me. She doesn’t advise against ever eating chocolate again, so she got my attention there. And, she writes in an engaging and entertaining style that’s very readable and clear. Summer seems to me to be a good time of year to adjust to healthier eating because there’s a bounty of fresh, local fruit and vegetables available at very reasonable prices—and they are critical to healthy eating. In fact, as a society, we concentrate more than necessary on the protein and starch side of our plates, and too little on the fresh fruit and vegetable side. Right now, during the growing and harvest seasons, is the perfect time to re-adjust that thinking to emphasize the vegetables and choose a protein as a side dish. Whole grain products should form a smaller portion of the meal (and are not needed at every meal), and processed, white ones—particularly those with added sugar and fat—should be no more than treats eaten very occasionally. So, take the opportunity to shift to healthier eating, and Smith’s book would make a good start.

Mairlyn's Blueberry-Honey Sauce This sauce is delicious over pancakes, but it could also be drizzled over plain yogurt. I bet it would make a special dessert drizzled over a plain angel food cake too. I used less than half the honey called for in this recipe and it was plenty sweet. I’m also thinking it would be yummy if you substituted lemon for the orange for something different. 1 1/2 c. (375 ml) fresh or frozen blueberries 1/2 c. (125 ml) honey 1 tbsp. (15 ml) orange zest 2 tbsp. (30 ml) fresh orange juice

If using fresh blueberries, rinse them well and pick out any stems. Mix together the blueberries and honey in a small pot and bring to a boil. Boil gently until slightly thickened and berries start to pop, about five minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and add the orange zest and juice. Let the sauce cool slightly before drizzling it over the pancakes. You may refrigerate any leftover sauce in a sealed glass jar for up to three days. We didn’t have any left over, however. Makes about 1 3/4 cups of sauce.

JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS

Mairlyn's Sunday Morning Pancakes This should be served with the following recipe for Blueberry Honey Sauce, because it’s just excellent. These are healthy pancakes, incidentally, but they taste good too. 1 1/4 c. (310 ml) skim milk 1 omega-3 egg 1 tbsp, (15 ml) canola oil 3/4 c. (185 ml) whole wheat flour 1/4 c. (60 m.) large oat flakes 2 tbsp. (30 ml) wheat germ 2 tbsp. (30 ml) ground flax seed 2 tbsp. (30 ml) oat bran 2 tsp. (10 ml) cinnamon 2 tsp. (10 ml) baking powder oil or oil spray Pre-heat oven to 200 F. Whisk together the milk, egg and oil in a medium bowl. ßWhisk in the flour, oat flakes, wheat germ, flax seed, oat bran, cinnamon and bak-

ing powder. Let the batter sit while the frypan is heating up. Heat a large non-stick frypan over medium heat. Grease it with the oil or spray it lightly. Stir the batter well. Spoon two tablespoons of batter into the frypan, swirling it with the back of the spoon to make a fourinch pancake. Repeat to form two or three more. Cook until bubbles form on the top of the pancakes and the undersides are dark golden brown. Flip them over and cook on the other side until the bottom is golden brown. Remove and keep warm in the oven on an ovenproof plate until all the pancakes are cooked. Serve with Blueberry-Honey Sauce or pure Canadian maple syrup. Makes 16 four-inch pancakes or four large ones.

Some simple guidelines for readers of Jude's Kitchen There are some basics about my cooking that you should know about in using the recipes created for Jude’s Kitchen. *I mean a large egg when a recipe calls for an egg *usually, butter and margarine are interchangeable *usually, salt and pepper is added to your taste *I generally use sea salt *fresh ingredients top frozen or canned

*organic products are my first choice *wherever possible, I use whole grains, not processed *include a variety of them, when possible *wherever possible, I use fresh herbs *fewer quantities of dried herbs are needed than fresh *I use extra virgin olive oil *I use grapeseed or olive oil to cook with

*I don’t deep fry *feel free to substitute. I do *have fun in the kitchen *encourage others to as well

If you think she would make a good addition to your family, please come down, ask the staff for an introduction and and spend some quality time with her.

ADULT COONHOUND X NEUTERED MALE

Tango in with Jypsy. He is easygoing, friendly, & easily distracted by his incredible sense of smell. The breed requires patient handling & encouragement. He enjoys the company of a human family and will stay active and energetic for many years. Please note the breed drools and slobbers and is not suited for anyone looking for a ‘quiet pet’. If you have a securely fenced yard and could offer this very vocal boy a good home, come down and meet him.

Higgins is a very distinguished feline who loves to patrol the room & meet all her ‘friends’. She loves affection and closes her eyes when you give her a good scratch. She loves to hide under the blankets (making a fort) and would suit a low key home as sometimes commotion can startle her. She is an absolute sweetheart, loves to cuddle & give kisses. If you would like to meet our beautiful manx, come down for a visit. Owner surrender

SAM

Henry is easygoing and people friendly. This breed are happy to be couch-potatoes, require patient handling and lots of encouragement. Their incredible sense of smell causes them to be easily distracted. They will be fun loving and very active up until about 10 years of age. Henry will need a new home with a securely fenced yard, owners who don’t care about his drooling & neighbors who don’t mind listening to his traditional howl.

She-Bear is a sweet shy girl looking for her forever home. She warms up to you quickly and loves to snuggle. She is a good walker and loves to be in your company. If you have to time to spend with her and can provide her with a loving caring home, she will reward you with a lifetime of companionship.

If you would like to give her a ‘forever home’, come down for an introduction. Abandoned

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