Three gangs caught up in targeted shooting Red Scorpions gangster Jonathan Bacon killed, while Hells Angel full patch member is among three wounded
Mayor wants to get tough on gangs
Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Notorious B.C. gangster Jonathan Bacon, 30, was killed in a brazen weekend shooting outside the Delta Grand Hotel, said police during a press conference that offered more questions than answers. “(Bacon) was one of five persons in a white SUV. Three others suffered non-life threatening injuries and are expected to recover,” said Const. Steve Holmes at a Monday afternoon press conference. “Two are female and one, associated with the vehicle, fled and has yet to be apprehended.” Among those who had non-life threatening injuries is full-patch Hells Angel Larry Amero. It’s believed the man who fled the vehicle was a member of the Independent Soldiers, although

It’s time to get tougher with gangs, said Kelowna Mayor Sharon Shepherd following the downtown shooting that left one notorious B.C. gangster dead and five others injured on Sunday. “I’m not opposed to putting out a strong mesSharonShepherd sage that gangs are not welcome here,” she said, noting that Sunday afternoon’s shooting put tourists and locals at risk. Already some downtown businesses have put a ban on flying gang colours, which is a measure Shepherd commended, although there’s more that can be done. Specifically, Shepherd told the media gathered at her city hall office on Monday that she would like to see a registry of gang-affiliated businesses be published. It’s something local police have anted up in the past, and she’d like to see it again. Above all else, however, Shepherd said higher levels of government support is needed to get rid of gangland style activities. “We have to get stronger,” she said. “But it’s not just one community—one community can’t fight this. It has to be a provincial and federal initiative and it has to be funded.” For three years the Okanagan and Kootenays have had a gang task force, although Shepherd said they have only been active for the last year and a half. Federal funding for that initiative is about to run out and Shepherd and her counterparts are working to keep it going. “Mayors of the largest communities in Okanagan and Kootenays are encouraging governments to put the money forward,” she said. “There are gangs throughout the Interior of B.C. and we need concentrated efforts.” kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Prompt action by staff keeps people safe Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
There’s a small masking tape marker on the Kelowna Art Gallery window where a stray bullet shattering the calm of Family Sunday. The regularly scheduled afternoon artwork session, which draws children and their parents to the building each week, was well underway when gunfire at the entrance to The Delta Grand Hotel across the street broke out around 3 p.m., leaving gallery staff on the hot seat to protect the program participants. “We have regular emergency practices once a month where staff can raise their ‘what ifs,’” said Kelowna Art Gallery
executive director Nataley Nagy, “although we never thought of bullets.” What they did manage to surmise must have been enough, however, for as masked gunmen shot up the area across the street from the gallery’s allglass storefront, the staff inside quickly locked up, moved everyone deeper into the gallery to a safe location and kept everyone on task—drawing and creating more beautiful art projects. For the executive director, the response could not have been better. “My staff are fantastic,” she said with obvious pride in her voice. Once all was calm, one staff member phoned Nagy, who lives in the neighbourhood, and she
and her husband ran to the gallery, hoping they could get inside before police cordoned off the area. Finding everything accessible, Nagy went in to check on everyone, while her husband headed to Gio Bean Espresso to get a coffee and some scuttlebutt from customers to suss out what had happened. Nagy contacted her board of directors, in case the bullet-hole made the news, to let them know everyone was alright, then helped her staff carry on with the day. After a time the gallery even re-opened, and though art gallery staff were shaken, they carried on with their activities, offering nervous tourists and those milling about

A BULLET HOLE can still be seen in the lower left corner of a Kelowna Art Gallery window, across the street from the entrance/exit to The Delta Grand Hotel where a gangland shooting took place Sunday afternoon. the neighbourhood a calm place to recuperate from a frightening experience. “A lot of visitors complimented me on my staff,” said Nagy. “They
were able to remain calm and keep everyone else calm.” Police arrived at the art gallery to interview and deal with the bullet hole
around 8 p.m. The broken window remained in place Monday as the investigation unfolded and Kelowna Art Gallery staff were back on
the job, though the gallery itself was closed, as per the usual Monday schedule. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com
In wake of shooting, hotel staff try to resume their routines STAFF REPORTER
A day after machine gun fire rattled through one of Kelowna’s busiest tourism areas, those who work at surrounding businesses are striving to bring back the calm. “We have a lot of guests and we’re just trying to restore a sense of calm and normal. But it’s been a tough day for us for sure,” said Daniel Bibby, general manager of the Delta Grand Hotel, where gunfire sent frenzied
employees and customers running into the streets on Sunday afternoon. “One of our employees was waiting for a ride home from the end of her shift and it’s been difficult. “But, our whole team is shocked and saddened by the events of yesterday afternoon. This isn’t something we typically experience in Kelowna,” Bibby said Monday. As such, Delta Grand staff has rolled out an emergency plan that’s aimed at mitigating the emotional damage the shooting caused.
“As soon as I got on site yesterday, I pulled leaders together and put a plan of attack together,” said Bibby, adding they then met with all 150 staff members to offer support and counselling services. “We also spoke with guests, to put them at ease in a difficult time. This is a very isolated incident and has never happened around here before.” For some of those who were moving through the hotel Monday, it seemed as though that message had already sunk in.

And, according to a few who were moving through the area, it was little more than an oddity—not a reflection on Kelowna. “We just ate at the restaurant in the hotel,” said Sharla, an Abbotsford woman who’s on vacation in Kelowna. “We weren’t going to let that stop us.” Her friends, from Vancouver and Edmonton, said they will continue to visit Kelowna, secure in the knowledge it was an isolated event.

“Yesterday we were feeling nervous,” said a woman visiting from Switzerland. “Today, it’s not so bad.” The couple headed out the side entrance of the hotel, however, as the front remained roped off with police tape, protecting a bullet-riddled Porsche Cayenne so police can continue their investigation.

NEWS ▼ JONATHAN BACON
Fatal shooting ends violent gang lifestyle Vikki Hopes CONTRIBUTOR
Jonathan was the only one of the three Bacon brothers—who police have said were key players in the Red Scorpions gang—not in prison. Jamie, 26, was found guilty of multiple weapons charges last year and awaits trial in the Surrey Six slayings on one count of first-degree murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder. Jarrod, 28, was acquitted in the weapons trial, but is awaiting trial on drug conspiracy and trafficking charges. He was among five arrested (including four in Abbotsford) in November 2009, following an undercover sting targeting both the Red Scorpions and the UN Gang. Little information can

be found about Jonathan’s early years. He graduated from W. J. Mouat Secondary in 1999. Jamie, who won a provincial gold medal in wrestling in his Grade 12 year, graduated from Yale Secondary in 2003. It is not known where Jarrod went to school. Mom Susan and dad David bought the family home on Strathcona Court in east Abbotsford in 2001. The seven-bedroom home is now listed for sale for $599,500 and the family is no longer living in the community, although police would not reveal their current location. The first indications of Jonathan’s criminal troubles show up in provincial court records in 2000, when he was found
guilty of possession of a controlled substance and was sentenced to one day in prison at the age of 19. The following year, he was found guilty of possession of stolen property under $5,000 and was also handed a one-day jail sentence. In 2005, Jonathan was among three people charged with drug and weapons offences after his home in the 2000 block of Winfield Drive was busted. Also charged were his girlfriend Rayleene Burton and his associate Godwin Cheng. Police seized marijuana, crack cocaine, ecstasy, two machine pistols, two handguns, silencers, a bulletproof vest and almost $100,000 in cash. The case was dismissed by a provincial court judge, but that de-
cision was overturned by the B.C. Court of Appeal, and the appeal ruling was upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada. Their new trial had been scheduled to begin June 14, 2012. The targeted hit in Kelowna was not Jonathan’s first. In September 2006, he was shot several times in the driveway of the Strathcona Court home. Ongoing concerns about public safety prompted police to issue a warning in 2008 that anyone associated with the Bacons was putting their life at risk. Video surveillance cameras were installed in their neighbourhood. Jonathan was also in trouble with the law in 2009, when he was charged with fraud and possession of property
obtained by fraudulent means. His co-accused was Dennis Karbovanec, currently serving a life sentence after pleading guilty to three counts of seconddegree murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder in the Surrey Six killings. The two were accused of leasing a 2004 Mercedes SL55 from a Coquitlam car company using false documents. That vehicle is the one Jamie Bacon was driving when he was shot at, in a busy Abbotsford intersection in January 2009. Charges in the fraud case were stayed against Jonathan and Karbovanec. Vicki Hopes is a reporter for the Capital News sister paper, the Abbotsford News.

People say exercise is good for your health, but what about those of us with a medical condition? Is there still a benefit to exercising?
A.
Exercise can be incorporated into anyone’s lifestyle at any stage of life. It doesn’t matter how late you start, you will still gain benefits from starting an exercise program. The goals of an exercise program will depend upon the individual needs of the client, however when dealing with particular health conditions such as cardiovascular, respiratory, or metabolic disease all exercise programs should aim to increase overall functional capacity and strength, in order to allow for everyday tasks to be performed with ease. Increasing activity time and daily energy expenditure enhances the body’s metabolism by increasing its ability to efficiently use energy. Well rounded programs aim to increase physical strength as well as promote cardiovascular health with the hopes of decreasing the need for medical management. More specific benefits of starting an exercise program for those with a chronic condition include: altered body composition and increased muscle mass, improved cholesterol profiles, controlled blood glucose levels, increased blood flow and healthy arteries, blood pressure regulation, decreased inflammation and clotting factors, stress management and improved psychosocial well being. Learn more through the next Chronic Disease Management program starting September 2011.

Q.
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.
A.
HOME INSPECTION MYTHS Part 4
Having 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: You don’t have to bother getting a condo inspected as the strata is responsible for upkeep and they keep good records. Fact: You are literally buying a piece of the building when purchasing a condo or townhouse on a strata property. It is best to know by your own means if there are any serious or end of life issues with the complex. Also, strata records may not be up to date. Only your home inspector is impartial to the consequences of building deficiencies. Qualified home inspectors conduct a thorough visual inspection of major elements of a home and check items for function. The more qualified the inspector the more knowledge you can gain about the home and its systems, before you buy it.
Q.
Is it all about PRICE?
YES! Pricing your property right from the start in today’s market is definitely an asset to selling your home. Everyone wants a quick sale and a quick sale starts with the right price. If you are unsure of the pricing your REALTOR® has quoted then call in an appraiser. Rely on the experience of the professionals to get your home sold. Discuss with your agent what your walk away pricing is, this will help your REALTOR® negotiate the best price and terms. In today’s market there may only be one offer, so choose an experienced REALTOR® with strong negotiation skills to help find the balance between walk away and ensuring nothing is left on the table. It is possible to buy and sell in this market and come out ahead. Choose the Right Agent for today’s market!

THE DELTA GRAND HOTEL was closed off and put in lockdown mode by Kelowna RCMP Sunday afternoon in the aftermath of a gangland shooting that left one man dead and three others sent to hospital with gunshot injuries.
Gunfire sent bystanders scrambling for cover Gangs from A1 Holmes refused an opportunity to confirm that fact. He couldn’t say whether Bacon was the target of the shooting, or if the burned out vehicle found on Commonage Road hours after the shooting was indeed the getaway car. “We also don’t know the type or description of the fire arms used,” he said, adding that no arrests have been made. Although police are loath to release details, the attack was in broad daylight at a heavily populated tourist destination. Many witnesses have said a balaclava clad man got out of a vehicle behind the Bacon-occupied Porsche Cayenne carrying an automatic weapon, similar to an M-16. Dozens of shots pierced the side of the truck, which rolled onto a grassy patch outside the hotel, sparking pandemonium. “From where I was
standing it was echoing and loud, very loud,” said a woman who asked not to be named. “As I started walking again, right behind the lobby exit, about 40 people started running in my direction looking behind them and yelling to ‘run’ and ‘people are shooting.’ People were grabbing their kids and yelling, ‘Go, go keep running.’ “ No others were injured in the shooting, although one stray bullet broke through the Kelowna Art Gallery’s window across the street (see story A3). While the violent outburst has prompted numerous questions, Supt. Bill McKinnon said that the incident answers whether funding for a 16-member gang task force in Kelowna should be continued. “They’re a valuable asset to us, and it’s pretty obvious that we have gang issues here in Kelowna,” he said. “Our efforts to suppress gang violence re-
main the top priority. We will not tolerate gang violence, disputes or turf wars within our community.” That said, he couldn’t speak to whether the task force was aware of the fact that Bacon—a member of the Red Scorpion
gang, who was out on bail —was known to be in the area and associating with other gangsters. This is also the third gang-related crime in Kelowna over the last 12 months. There was a driveby shooting (associated
with the Hells Angels) on Leon Avenue last September, and earlier this summer two full patch Hells Angels were charged with second degree murder in the death of Rutland father Dain Phillips. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Three suspicious fires now under investigation Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
A string of fires which destroyed the Flooring Canada store on Banks Road and damaged a local church Friday, are under police investigation. “All three fires were determined to be suspicious in nature, but exact causes were not determined,” said a news release from the Kelowna Fire Department issued on Monday. At 11:54 p.m. last Friday evening, fire crews responded to reports of a fire in the 1100-block of Springfield and found the outside of the Seventh-day Adventist Church on fire. It took three fire engines, a rescue vehicle, command vehicle and 15 firefighters to deal with the blaze, which is believed to have originated in a garbage bin near the rear of the church. While damage estimates have not been release, by Monday morning it was evident the first layer of siding was lost on more than a quarter of the building,
and the fire department was prepared to say the fire was under investigation and considered suspicious. Just 50 minutes after initial reports of the burning church, the crews were called to a second fire, which proved far more costly. The Flooring Canada store in the 300 block of Banks Road was completely destroy and fire crews worked very hard to ensure surrounding businesses would not burn as well. “At the height of the fire, over 40 firefighters worked to save neighbouring businesses, including those directly connected to the fire building, separated by a firewall,” Jason Brolund, assistant fire chief, said in a release. Estimates on the blaze released Monday peg the damage from the second fire at $1.2 million. A third blaze, reported just after 3 a.m., also broke out on Banks Road, though it remained confined to the garbage bins where it broke out. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Cyclist killed while crossing Highway 97 A 35-year-old male pedestrian is dead after he was struck while crossing Highway 97 near Powick Road on Friday night.
According to witnesses, two cyclists, both Kelowna residents, were walking their bikes across the highway, from a
north to south direction at around 9:30 p.m., and neither were at a crosswalk or intersection. The first cyclist made
it across the highway unscathed, but the second cyclist wasn’t so lucky He was hit by a gray Hyundai sedan in the northbound HOV lane. The impact propelled the man, who had a child carrier attached to his bike, onto the roadway where he suffered fatal head injuries. The first cyclist was badly shaken by the traumatic incident and was tended to by Kelowna RCMP Victim Services. The 21-year-old male driver of the Hyundai,
also of Kelowna, was not able to avoid the collision with the cyclist. The driver was also shaken up but otherwise uninjured. Police noted neither alcohol nor speed were factors in the accident. The investigation is continuing and the victim’s name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin. If anyone witnessed this incident and has not yet spoken to police, please contact the Central Okanagan Traffic Services at 250-980-5353.

Food bank campaign raises $123,000 The 20th annual, Christmas in July—A Season to Share fundraising campaign for the Kelowna Community Food Bank raised $123,000 in food and cash donations. “Although we did not reach our overall goal, the community heard our message and opened their hearts,” said Vonnie Lavers, executive director of the food bank.
4Ever Whey & Fruit Blast Whey
• Whey Protein Blend d • Great Tasting • Mixes Instantly
Christmas in July serves two important purposes, noted Lavers. First, it helps to remind the community that the spirit of Christmas should be year round. Second, as their major summer campaign, Christmas in July is critical for maintaining food bank inventory through the fall season. “Donations are the lifeblood of our organization, directly supporting the most vulnerable in our community,” Lavers said. “There is nothing typical about Food Bank recipients. They are families and single people, fixed-income seniors and students, people with and without disabilities, homeowners and renters.” Though a large number rely on income benefits, Lavers says that more and more recipients are working people who cannot make ends meet.

Separating myth from reality
T
o listen to the Kelowna RCMP’s initial media response to Sunday’s gangland execution in front of the Delta Grand Hotel, this was not a reflection of our city. To follow the RCMP’s perspective, we live in a vacation paradise that is not used to such outbreaks of violence, that should be surprised that such gangland violence could occur on our streets. Well, we need to think again about that. We need to ask our-
selves honestly if that’s the case, and if not then what, if anything, we can do to restore that reputation. That’s a question that city hall and the police department need to rethink in the coming days and weeks. Perhaps the answer is to bring more resources to the RCMP to keep a lid on what most people who live and do business in this city already know or suspect—the role gangs play in our local economy both as drug dealers and
250-763-7114 DELIVERY 250-763-7575
laundering their drug profits. City hall has been leery in recent years to meet the staff demands of Kelowna RCMP Supt. Bill McKinnon, despite his impassioned pleas to the contrary. But city hall determines priorities in spending, and the RCMP have to determine priorities based on the resources at hand. Perhaps both need to be reviewed. After all, we had an attempted slaying of five people in broad daylight at a busy tour-
ist destination, less than two blocks from the RCMP detachment. If nothing else, on the surface that shows little respect on the part of the perpetrators that they might actually get caught. We should be thankful no innocent bystanders were hit by the flurry of automatic weapon gunfire. However, our city is now less safe than it was before Sunday, and we wonder now what retribution, if any, this shooting will bring upon us.

Serious steps must be taken to nip gang retaliation in the bud
I
t’s not the first time gang warfare has played out on the streets of Kelowna. And it likely won’t be the last. But Sunday’s brazen hit on reputed Lower Mainland gang leader Jonathan Bacon, the eldest of three brothers believed to be at the head of the Vancouver-area Red Scorpions gang, marked a disturbing escalation in the threat to public safety here. While some may shrug off the killing as a “targeted” hit where members of one gang went after members of another, any form of gun play poses a severe risk to innocent bystanders.

But just as shocking as the shootCall me cautious but being anying outside the Delta Grand hotel where near where bullets are flying is
my idea of a dangerous place. Kelowna is a popular destination for many folks from the Lower Mainland, especially in the summer. So if regular joes like the beach, why wouldn’t gangsters? And why wouldn’t their enemies? And if both sides come armed to the teeth, well... Crime experts say they expect the shooting here will result in retaliatory strikes by either the Red Scorpions or the Hells Angel’s, or both. That’s how gang wars escalate. The Red Scorpions were believed to be at the centre of a bloody battle three years ago in Vancouver that re-
sulted in dozen’s of public shootings that left many reputed gang members dead and residents of the city and its suburbs on edge. Kelowna is a much smaller place so it will take far fewer incidents to result in the same fear. Kelowna’s mayor is right, it’s time to extend funding for the B.C. gang task force that was expanded to the Okanagan three years ago. Steps need to be taken now to keep Kelowna from becoming the next battle ground for gangs in this province. Alistair Waters is the Capital News’ assistant editor. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Obviously the Kelowna community doesn’t give a damn about spousal abuse. (RCMP officer) Mantler kicking Buddy Tavares in the face was big news for weeks and still is. Wlodarczak is an RCMP staff sergeant who clearly needs psychiatric help. The scary thing is, he will be out in public with a deadly weapon and will be able to use it with complete impunity. Ian Bush is a prime example. Dead over an open beer and the killer didn’t miss a day’s work. Ho-hum, all in a day’s work. It truly is distressing that this lunatic’s wife say’s: “He is good at what he does”! Being subjected to the cop culture for so many years obviously demonstrates that

I don’t even want this lunatic writing a traffic ticket. Don’t transfer him. Don’t put him on leave until he works out his rage in a therapist’s office using dolls—fire him.
Rorschach13, www.kelownacapnews.com To the editor: The next time he will kill her, either with his gun or beating her to death. You read about it all the time. The (man?) is dangerous and should be in psychiatric care. Men like this never change. Nothing is their fault, according to their way of thinking and they take out their rage on the innocents and the weak who can’t fight back. He is ruining the reputation of the RCMP just by being one of its officers. What are they thinking by keeping him on staff? The RCMP is having problems enough concerning its reputation without keeping this wife-beater as one of its members. Petuniapig, Recent Comments from www.kelownacapnews.com
Vancouver reaps cash from parking lot rip off To the editor: I have just been involved in the biggest ripoff ever. Several businesses on Lakeshore Road, which are really only accessible from KLO Road, are served by a parking lot which serves patrons of a credit union, Interior Savings Insurance, Clancey’s and a number of other businesses. I went to the bank machine there recently, withdrew money, and was back out to my truck in about three minutes. On the windshield was a yel-
low notice from a company called DPS which, upon reading, stated it was a parking ticket. To top it all off, it was for $33.60 if paid within 10 days, and a whopping $56 if paid after 10 days. I have parked in the same area many times, and all of a sudden you have to pay $33.60. I did not see any sign where I parked my truck, although on looking after I got the ticket there were signs up on every fifth parking space. I also saw some man
with a camera, snapping pictures of another vehicle—no doubt leaving him a ticket also. The biggest shock is that DPS is a Vancouver outfit, and payment must be made to Vancouver by mail, on-line or by telephone. Why are the people of Kelowna paying parking fines to Vancouver? And how come a big sign was not posted for this parking area, prior to it becoming a cash cow? I will not be going to any of the businesses
Lightning, solar flare more than a lifetime of smart meter To the editor: Re: Smart meters. Reality check. The electromagnetic radiation of all kinds that we received from that electrical storm that went through here on Wednesday evening, together with the major solar flare

ever again and will warn as many people using this lot, as well as the United Church goers who, on Sundays, fill their parking area and spill over into the one they are charging for. What is wrong with this picture? Kelowna city council needs to check into this. So remember people, don’t use that parking
area and let everyone you know about the big ripoff, especially seniors, of which I am one. That three minute stop will affect me for over a month. Wonder what a Valid Permit costs—at their rates probably $100 or more/ And people—it all goes to Vancouver. B. Parfitt, Kelowna

FUSION FESTIVAL
Diversity celebrated
KIKI THE ECO ELF teaches kids to be environmentally friendly through dance and song at the Downtown Kelowna Fusion Festival held last Saturday .
City unites behind the Fusion Festival Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
All walks of life crossed paths; all orientations found their way; all flavours of culture tasted Kelowna this past Saturday at Downtown Kelowna Fusion Festival. The inaugural Fusion Festival drew impressive crowds to Stuart and Kerry Park, under a 31 C heat. Festival producer Quinn Best said that Kelowna has been thirsty for an event like this. “Diversity is something that Kelowna is starting to warm-up to and take more of a leadership role in,” said Best. “Culture is very important to a lot of people here. This is something that’s a little more unique, just for Kelowna.” The numbers spoke on Best’s behalf. “We had thousands of people constantly flowing through this event since 11 a.m. We had over 46 different vendors showcasing a number of the key stores and downtown businesses here in Kelowna.” Best said it was a challenging process trying to predict how the virgin event would do.

“Sometimes you think you’ve hit the nail on the head and it doesn’t resonate with people,” he explained. “Leading up to the event we were really careful of how we positioned it through social media. “The second part of it was really activating all the downtown businesses. “Once we had a chance to communicate with everyone, we really started to see the attitude change.” The buzz, according to Best, started to set in right after Centre of Gravity. “People recovered and started really tuning in these last couple of weeks.” As with all things new, many stopped by Fusion Festival out of sheer curiosity. Some probably didn’t expect that they would be sporting ‘I (heart) Fusion’ stickers when they left. Part of the appeal had to do with the cost. “It’s nice to offer a free event. The Downtown Kelowna Association is paying the bill for this, but I think they’re going to get a lot of reward out of it when they see the photos, videos and testimonials,” said Best. “Hopefully it will help strengthen their relationship with the downtown community.” The crystal ball is still too blurry for Best to predict whether or not there will be a second Fusion Festival. “This is really a test pilot: Something new for the Downtown Kelowna Association to contract out some of their event properties. “We realize that this is a great cultural corridor: I think we proved that (Saturday).” Those who didn’t make it to the event can take a look at photos, videos and highlights of the event at www.kelownafusionfestival.com.

NEWS ▼ REVOLUTIONARY CHANGE
An August week linked to the past and the future T ‘‘ his past week marked the anniversaries of two important historical events. One was, I would say, entirely backward looking and the other provided a glimpse into the future. On Aug. 13, 1961, Berlin was divided by the commencement of construction of the Berlin Wall. It’s been 50 years since that day but, for all the changes that have since taken place across Europe, it might as well have been 500 years ago. As a result of the Allied forces’ defeat of Germany in 1945, and the race between western and Soviet troops to reach Berlin, that city was initially divided into four occupation sectors. Before long, Britain, the United States and France merged their sectors as a result of Soviet intransigence on reconstruction, leaving the Soviets on their own.
YOU WORK HERE
Robert Smithson The combined western allied sector ultimately became West Berlin, a virtual island surrounded by East Germany. That setting permitted the Soviets to implement a blockade in 1948, resulting in a number of allied countries—including Canada—participating in the Berlin airlift to supply the western sector with food and other supplies. The Berlin Wall was a dominating concrete obstacle, marked with guard towers and backed on the Soviet side by a wide swath of bare ground dubbed by some as the “death strip.” Some fences are erected largely to keep others out but, like a prison, this
one served primarily to keep the citizens of East Germany in. Residents of Berlin saw their city divided in two almost overnight. Thousands lost their homes in the course of the border being established and secured. And, if your job happened to be located across town—on the other side of the border—well, let’s say you had a bigger problem on your hands than calling in late. Hundreds of easterners were either captured or killed in their attempts to cross the Wall into the free west. It was, both literally and figuratively, the heart of the “Iron Curtain” separating the communist east from the democratic west. Almost precisely 20 years later, with the Berlin Wall not yet chipped away into history, a global revolution having nothing to do with politics was born.

That was the result of the commercial release, on August 12, 1981, of the IBM Personal Computer. Remember that original desktop PC model? It was a bland taupe colour, laid flat on your desk (taking up most of your desktop) with a tiny monochrome monitor sitting atop it. And if my recollection is accurate, it didn’t really do all that much. The original PC model 5150 wasn’t the first computer on the market (remember the Commodore PET, the Atari and the Radio Shack TRS80?) but, armed with the critical letters “IBM” on its face, the original PC had instant credibility in the still fledgling market. The success of the IBM PC meant that it soon became the industry standard. In the office setting, I think it may be fair to say that is still the case today notwithstanding the ter-

ritory gained by Apple’s desktop offerings in recent years. The original PC did not have a standard hard drive but could be equipped with up to two 5.25-inch floppy drives (giving birth to all manner of off-colour jokes based on the word “floppy”— i.e. Phil wishes he had a hard drive but he’s stuck with a floppy disk.). With a retrofitted pow-
er supply increase, a hard drive could be added. The stripped down PC originally sold for $1,565 (USD) but came with no floppy drives, no hard drive, 16kB of RAM (roughly enough to capture your mom’s lasagna recipe), and no monitor. One wonders what possible use could be made of such a device— boat anchor, possibly. Doubling the price produced a unit with 64 kB of RAM, one floppy drive and a monitor—a wealth of processing power! The age of desktop computers came with many promises, one of which was the utopian vision of the paperless office. I can tell you, with confidence, that a visit to any lawyer’s office today will reveal 10 times as much printed material per file than was the case in 1981. Today, the so-called “modern office” is al-
most entirely dependent upon individual computers. Think that your office is the exception? I invite you to take a walk around your workplace the next time the power goes out or your local area network crashes. I’ll bet what you’ll find is a whole lot of people feeling so helpless that work of any discernible nature stops entirely while they check their smartphones for messages. Who says August is boring? I give you Aug. 12 and 13—two dates of supreme historical and future importance for the world and for the workplace.

Your RRSP issuer does not withhold tax on these amounts. Your RRSP contributions must remain in the RRSP for at least 90 days before you can withdraw them under the HBP. Example if you contribute to a RRSP on March 1, you must wait 90 days to withdraw these same funds under the HBP guidelines.

Study to track progress of UBCO’s graduates While it is no secret that the Okanagan is a magnet for retirees, an unexplored issue is where the future lies for the younger generation, particularly university graduates. Do they stay after finishing their post-secondary schooling? Can they find work related to their studies? How many graduate and move on to seek Emma Talbott employment? These are a few of the questions Emma Talbott hopes to answer. The UBC Okanagan campus graduate student, who is pursuing a Master’s degree in interdisciplinary graduate studies, is embarking on a thesis that will identify the rate of student retention in the valley. “‘When I graduate, I have to leave the city,’ is what a lot of (my classmates) tell me,” Talbott says. “I want to find out if they actually left. I suspect more people are sticking around, but not necessarily in their field of education.” Talbott has sent questionnaires to recent grads and alumni to find out where they are and what they’re doing. Talbot, who graduated in 2010, wants to explore who stayed, who left and whether those who remained found work in their area of study, or took alternate employment to stay in the Okanagan. Talbott is working with Carlos Teixeira, an associate professor of human geography in the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences. “We will know for the first time what their feelings are,” says Teixeira. “Why did they leave the valley, why did they stay? We have to do research in order to understand the challenges. “We need to look forward. We need to start discussing (challenges) now.”
ed person with a disability buy or build a qualifying home. You have to intend to occupy the qualifying home as your principal place of residence no later than one year after buying or building it. Over a period of no more than 15 years, you have to repay the amount withdrawn back into your RRSP. Generally, for each year of your repayment period, you have to repay 1/15 of the total amount you withdrew, until the full amount is repaid to your RRSPs. Your first repayment starts the second year following the year you made your withdrawals. You can repay the full amount at any time. Each year, CRA sends you a Home Buyers’ Plan Statement of Account, on your notice of assessment. This notice provides details of your participation in the HBP. Online calculators will
help you determine how much you can afford for a home. You can also speak with a mortgage specialist who will help you determine how much you qualify for and other options available. Make sure you take other costs into consideration, example closing costs, legal fees, land transfer tax, property insurance, etc. These costs can up to thousands of extra dollars of your home purchase budget. When calculating closing costs, you may need an additional 1.5 per cent of the purchase price. Purchasing a house under the HBP guidelines can allow you to purchase your first home. Owning your first home is an exciting experience. Doreen Smith is a Certified Financial Planner and Life Insurance Broker with Capri Wealth Management Inc.

he price of homes in Kelowna have increased over the last decade, leaving many people to ask themselves: “How will I ever be able to buy a home when such a large down payment is required?” Many people purchase their first home using the government sponsored Home Buyers Plan option. There are rules that apply to withdrawing RRSP funds under the HBP. You have to be considered a first-time homebuyer. You are considered a first-time home buyer if you or your spouse or common-law partner did not own a home that you occupied as your principal place of residence during the period beginning Jan. 1 of the fourth year before the year of withdrawal and ending 31 days before your withdrawal.

Walking on Broken Glass
D
o your feet hurt as if you are “Walking on Broken Glass”? Do your feet hurt before they even touch the floor in the morning and throb every time you stand for any amount of time? Do the bottoms of your feet tingle and stab with pain for no apparent reason? Do your ankles ache as if your whole foot is about to roll over at any moment? If you have this type of pain I can help.
Your foot pain may be coming from a broken bone. A broken bone it will be painful to touch at a specific point, will show up on an X-Ray, and is often accompanied by redness and swelling. Broken bones are extremely painful when touched by a vibrating tuning fork. Your foot pain may be coming from your connective tissues. These tissues include tendons, ligaments, and what is known as fascia. Altogether these connective tissues hold together your foot, connect muscles to bones, bones to bones, and the fat pad under your foot to the rest of your foot. Your connective tissues are packed with nerves, especially where they attach to bones. If you have torn the connective tissue in your foot, even little micro tears, they can be very painful and slow to heal.
Medial plantar fascia Lateral plantar fascia Plantar aponeurosis
Your foot pain may be coming from irritated nerves. High blood sugar may cause pain in the nerves of the foot in a condition known as peripheral neuropathy. This is where high blood sugars have moved into the nerves of the foot causing pain. Other causes of nerve pain in your feet are poor blood circulation and a load of toxins in your blood. I treat foot pain with: nutrition for bones, nerves, and connective tissues; blood sugar control programs; cold laser treatments for circulation and healing; and by far the most effective treatments of ozone and dextrose injections to turn on healing in the connective tissues. If you have foot pain, stop just waiting for it to get better and call my office for an appointment to discuss your treatment options today.

BUSINESS ▼ ENTREPRENEURS
Strategizing to protect accumulated business wealth I ’m absolutely thrilled that you have chosen to explore my column this week to arouse your curiosity about my shining light on your desire to honour your entrepreneurial dream. Marvelous. For many reasons I believe taking this entrepreneurial step is a cause for celebration. Let me highlights two of those reasons: One, you are absolutely, positively meant to live your dreams…period. Two, the world is waiting to receive your
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young unique entrepreneurial gifts. For those of you entering this mindset, it’s fair to say your entrepreneurial spirit has been ignited. And not only that, the dream of having your own heart-centered ven-
ture has probably been getting stronger and stronger, lighting you up inside in a way that seems indescribable. Let’s delve a little deeper. A short time ago, you embraced an epiphany moment that would change your life journey forever—you decided to become an entrepreneur. Perhaps you have already achieved some level of entrepreneurial success, and now hope to reap the overriding benefit of that move. As your entrepreneurial experience may have
shown you to date, nothing comes free of risk. Indeed, you can name many examples of Okanagan families where one generation has lost the wealth it took previous generations to build. So, how do you guarantee that the legacy you worked so hard to attain will be there long after you’ve gone? It begins, my friends, by recognizing that the Joel Young wealth left behind is as much a result of my mindset as it is my knowledge and skills. Now, here is where it becomes fun folks, as central to that proper mindset is a master plan and my commitment to govern my behaviour accordingly. In essence, the same rules that apply to identifying my personal net worth apply to the assets that I may have invested in my entrepreneurial dream. When dealing with my personal and family wealth, we must understand, painful as it may seem, that there are three key phases to consider as we move through our wealth cycles. In the first phase, our wealth gets created (we hope). In the second phase, our wealth must be protected. I enjoyed a recent ex-
perience of participating in a brainstorming session with an investment banker from Manulife Bank at our home. The investment banker explained to my wife and I how we might change our lifeplan game productively with financial options we didn’t know existed. So, in the third phase, we truly begin to live the entrepreneurial dream, as we can now finally put our net worth to full use to realize our life goals and objectives. While typical affluent families put most (if not all) of their focus on creating and growing wealth in their entrepreneurial dance, this aspect is probably the part that may come most naturally to each of you. You get wealthy, as a result of your hard work and the determination you have put into running a successful dream. In addition, you may grow the wealth by investing it wisely, either on your own or with the help of professionals such as asset management firms or investment advisers. The more disciplined and structured you are in the way you deal with your venture and your investments, the more successful you will be in creating and growing your
assets. However, as we all know only too well, how much you actually make isn’t really all that counts. Successful wealth management looks just as much as how much you get to keep after all expenses are factored in. Hence, this is the essence of net worth and this is where the most difficult phase of your personal dream plan comes into play. In order to keep the new-found wealth you have created with your entrepreneurial dream machine, you will need to continuously protect it from a variety of risks. It makes sense to me that you might choose to put a “protection plan” in place in the early stages of your successes to ensure risk minimization when needed. Some techniques I discovered when researching this topic follow: • tax-smart investing by make tax-exempt life insurance part of your asset allocation • using trusts and other estate planning measures to protect your family and facilitate the transfer of your accumulated wealth (can’t tell you enough how important and, at the same time, ignored…is this aspect) • managing your per-
sonal liability for venture risks through offshore trust structures • limiting the Canadian tax exposure of any international business by structuring part of your business in tax treaty jurisdictions offshore. The last element of this tidy treatise this week deals with optimizing the structure of your net worth to ensure it can be put to full use in realizing your life objectives. Protecting the wealth you have acquired through your dream machine is almost a fundamental law of nature. As once created, the fruits of your labour will be attacked on a variety of fronts by a variety of predators—multiple layers of taxation, personal liability related to your venture as well as the spending demands of your new lifestyle to name a few. To start with the obvious, you will need to articulate your plan early in the process. By doing so, ensure that the measures you choose to put in place fit into an overall plan.

The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation reported last week that Kelowna area housing starts totalled 173 in July 2011 compared to 64 the same month a year ago. “Multi-family construction, including townhouses and apartment condominiums, boosted July hous-
ing starts to the highest monthly level this year,” said CMHC market analyst Paul Fabri. “Detached home starts were lower than in July 2010.” Kamloops was in a similar position to Kelowna, while Vernon and Penticton housing starts were down from levels recorded in July 2010.
Nationally, the seasonally adjusted annual rate of total housing starts increased to 205,100 units in July, from 196,600 units in June. In B.C. July’s seasonally adjusted rate of urban housing starts moved higher to 28,200 units for July compared to 21,200 units in the previous month.

Dealing with prescription medication T ‘‘ here are regulations as to how medications must be packaged when travelling by air in Canada. These regulations will differ from country to country. It is up to the traveller to find out what is required by each country you visit. In some countries, drugs that are legal and readily available in Canada will be considered illegal or may require a prescription. Contact the Embassy in Canada of the country you plan to visit to confirm the status of your medication. When traveling with prescription or over-thecounter medications and syringes: • The name of the patient for the medication must be the same name as on the boarding pass. • Leave all medicine in its original, labeled

Sharen Marteny container. • Do not combine different medications into a single container. • Pack an extra supply of each medication in case you are away for longer than expected. • Carry a copy of the original prescription, and ensure that both the generic and trade names of the drug are included in case your medication is lost or stolen. • The prescribing doctor’s name and pharmacy name must be on each container. • Having a doctor’s note describing why you
are taking the medication is also recommended • Prescription medication is exempt from the liquid carry-on restrictions but must be presented to the airport screening officer separately from your carry-on luggage • Pack all of your medications in your carryon luggage. • However, if you require syringes, hypodermic needles or biojectors for a medical condition, contact all the airlines you will be traveling with to verify if you can pack them in your carry-on luggage, as they may not be allowed in carry-on for security reasons. • The needle guard must be in place and you must have the medication with you. • Carry a supply of syringes to last your entire trip as well as a medical certificate that states they

When traveling to the United States, in general personal importation of a 90-day supply of medication is allowed, but only if the drug is not available in the United States. Personal medication is subject to the United States drug importation laws and regulations
through the U.S. Food and Drug administration. When returning to Canada, the Public Health Agency of Canada allows an individual to import a 90-day supply of prescription medication for the individual’s personal use or for an immediate family member. The individual must personally bring the medication over the border in hospital or pharmacy dispensed packaging. An individual may return to Canada with a 90day supply of over-thecounter medication for the individual’s personal use or for an immediate family member.

Another come-from-behind win for Okanagan Sun Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
For the second straight week the Okanagan Sun were forced to come from behind to grab a B.C. Football Conference win over the Langley Rams. The Sun improved to 3-0 after holding onto a 15-14 win in Langley on Saturday night, winning their second straight game over the Rams. “It was a grinder,” said defensive back Wyatt Smith on Monday. “It was a tight game. Both defenses played great and the offenses of both teams weren’t having much success.” The Sun would strike first on a 39 yard touchdown run by quarterback Bobby Davis who took the ball into the end zone late in the first quarter. The Rams would tie it in the second off a 26 yard touchdown pass to allCanadian Nick Downey. Just before the half the Sun would record a safety
and led 9-7 after the first 30 minutes. The Rams took the lead in the second half, taking a 14-9 lead into the fourth quarter. It was one of two lapses by the Sun defense, according to Smith. “I thought we played great but we had a couple of collapses,” said Smith. “We gave up a 109 yard scoring drive that we’re not too proud of. For the most part we kept them in check.” Despite throwing three interceptions, Davis led the Sun down the field in the fourth quarter, hitting Mike Friend for a major as the Sun took a 15-14 lead. A late field goal effort by the Rams sailed just wide and the Sun escaped the lower mainland with a win to improve to 3-and-0. Smith says the team is still not firing on all cylinders. “Absolutely not. We have a lot of work to do,”
he said. “It’s just going to take a bit of time. We have to get our running game back in order. Our young guys stepped up and did their job but I’m excited for the return of Daniel (Xavier) and Armond (Bokitch). I think we have the best receivers in the country. Once we get that running game going we are going to be unstoppable.” Running back Daniel Xavier returned from injury on Saturday and carried the ball 11 times for 26 yards for the Sun who are also expecting second year back Armond Bokitch back in the line-up, possibly as early as this week.

Kierra Smith sounded pretty tired on Monday morning. Perhaps it was the extra work in bringing home eight medals from the Western Canadian Summer Games in Kamloops. Smith, 17, dominated the swimming events at the games, winning seven gold medals and one silver, and setting a new Canadian and B.C. Age Group record for girls 15 to 17, in the 200 metre breaststroke. The Liquid Lightning Swim Club member also
established new B.C. records in the 100m breaststroke and 200m Individual Medley and was less than a second off provincial records in the 200m flystroke and 400m IM. “It was a really good meet for me and for the entire B.C. swim team,” said Smith after helping to close out the Western Canada Summer Games as a flag bearer for the closing ceremonies on Sunday. “My goal going in was to get as many provincial records as I could,” she said. “I just was going out to have fun and it turned out really well.” Smith is now off for
a week before taking up her training and beginning preparations to take part in the Pan American Games in Mexico this October and another international meet in Oregon in November. Before those meets Smith will visit top American universities like UCLA, San Diego State, Ohio State and Minnesota as she decides where to take her considerable swimming skills after high school. “I really do appreciate all the offers from universities,” she said. “This is going to be the hardest choice that I make. It’s go-
ing to be my choice. It will have an impact on my future so it’s going to be hard but I’m really excited.” Smith will return to Immaculata for her Grade 12 year this fall. She credits her parents as well as Liquid Lightning coach Emil Dimitrov for her success. “My parents supported me so much this entire year: They did everything for me,” she said. “My coach trained me really well. He mentally prepared me for everything that came and couldn’t have done a better job of getting me ready for these meets.”

KGCC decided on 36th able to birdie. Proskiw found himself with a 25 foot birdie effort to force a playoff but narrowly missed and had to settle for second place. “It was a great finish to a great tournament,” said David Walker, Kelowna Golf and Country Club general manager. “It was a tight race. You don’t want to see the tournament decided half-way through the final round. You want it to come down to the last hole.” Wallace, who plays out of Predator Ridge, is actually from Langley and is an up and comer in Canadian golf. A graduate of the University of Washington, he played in the Canadian Open this year
and has played events on the Canadian PGA Tour. Walker says it’s an indication of the quality of the field to have a player of Wallace’s calibre play in the invitational. “We’ve had good tournaments this year and we’re attracting great players to the tournament,” he said. “We’re seeing fields that are a little different than in the past and that’s great.” There were 160 players in the mens invitational field with some familiar names near the top of the leaderboard.

Kelowna athletes continued to help B.C. to one of the province’s best ever showings at the Western Canadian Summer Games during the final weekend of competition in Kamloops. In rowing, Kelowna’s Samuel Harris and the men’s eight showed their dominance on Sumway Lake winning the gold medal in 6:59.64. “The boys put together a solid race,” said men’s head coach and Olympian Benjamin Rutledge. “They’ve been working hard to get a good performance. They got out early and were strong through the finish. This boat signifies the depth of rowing in the province. Everybody is up to a certain standard.” In gymnastics, Team B.C. won the silver medal in rthe team event with Kelowna’s Krystal Tiner as part of the team.

B.C. senior men win Canadian Rugby Champs held here Representative rugby returned to the Central Okanagan for the first time since 1970 on Saturday afternoon and the 800 fans at Kelowna Apple Bowl were treated to an exciting 10-try performance. The B.C. Senior Men’s Provincial Team emerged victorious with a narrow 3129 win over the Prairie Wolf Pack in round three of the Canadian Rugby Championship. In the opening half, B.C. scored the first four tries to run out to an early 24-0 lead. B.C. inside centre Connor Braid was first to put points on the board, shredding the Wolf Pack’s defence to cross over before converting his own try. B.C.’s outside centre Josefa Dolesau then had the crowd on their feet, as he twice threaded the Wolf Pack’s defence to score. “Jo is very instinctive player and a world class athlete,” said Team B.C. head coach Kris de Scossa. “He has electric pace and can go from standing still to 100 miles an hour in a matter of seconds.” The next try saw flanker Josh Clarke capitalize on a poor Wolf Pack clearance kick, running in untouched from the 22-metre line for B.C.’s fourth score. Braid converted for the 24-0 lead. The Wolf Pack did not go scoreless in the first half, eventually seeing their efforts pay off with winger Duncan Maguire crossing over. After the break, the Wolf Pack came out firing and their scrum half James Buchanan put them on the board early with a try, which was converted by Mozac Samson. B.C. was next to score, when fly half Bryan Tyrer out-sprinted his tacklers to touch down in the far corner. The final quarter of the game was one way traffic for the Wolf Pack as they ran in three unanswered tries. Maguire again crossed over, followed by

an impressive effort by speedster Ian Shoults. The final play of the game saw second row substitute Josh Schlebach cross over for the Wolf Pack with Samson tacking on the conversion. “That wasn’t the message we wanted to send with a rematch just around the corner,” said B.C. captain Eric Wilson. “But in the end we got the win and that’s what everyone is going to remember heading into next week.” De Scossa was pleased with the efforts of his young squad, including 21-year-old Tyrer in his
first start for the B.C. senior men’s side. “This championship is about development and although the score was tighter than we may have liked, I was impressed with how are younger guys performed. They played in a tough arena and handled the pressure and subsequently, we came out with the victory,” he said The two sides will again square off in next week’s rematch at Calgary Rugby Park on Saturday, August 20th in the fourth round of the CRC.

Folkinga proved more than just a late addition, as he would DH all game, finishing 1-3 with a double and would score the third run for the East All-Stars. Folkinga will not be eligible for the WCL league in 2012 after graduating as a communications major from Western Oregon University. Right-hander Brandon Marris was selected as the team’s Most Outstanding Pitcher for 2011. “Brandon was our bulldog,” says head coach Al Cantwell. “Unfortunately his stats don’t reflect what he was able to do for us this summer. He
was one of those hard luck guys, he would throw so great, but we didn’t support him offensively every time.” Marris would finish the year 3-4 with a 3.21 ERA and a save. His 71 strikeouts and 81.1 innings set new Falcons team records. His strikeout total was second most across the entire WCL. He would also throw two complete games, including a two-hit shutout against Kitsap in the final home stand. Just four days later he would throw seven more innings of two-hit baseball against

The competitive final provided an exciting finish to the inaugural season for the new adult touch rugby league. KSS Touch and Crows Touch were the dominant teams in the eight team league, each powering their way to a 9–1 record. The victory was sweet revenge for KSS Touch, who lost

▼ VOLLEYBALL
UBCO recruits Beamish If the UBCO Heat volleyball team were looking for grit and determination amongst its recruits, they appear to have found it in Lower Mainland newcomer Brianna Beamish. Despite a badly sprained wrist, Beamish helped lead her B.C. volleyball squad to a national title, just weeks before she will be in Kelowna to join the Heat on the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus. The incoming student athlete helped B.C. claim a national title at the 2011 National Team Challenge Cup for the B.C. Provincial Under-18 team. The B.C. squad finished first in their pool, then went on to the semi-finals defeating Manitoba in five sets (19-25, 21-25, 25-13, 2518, 15-9). Beamish’s B.C. squad advanced to the gold med-
fun game together. This was the best part of this new league, in my view.” Bullet Athletic Club was named the team with the Best Spirit. They also took home the Best of the Rest trophy for the top team in the bottom half of the table.

Chelsea Marshall scored with 30 seconds left in the game to power KSS Touch to a 5–4 victory over Crows Touch in the adult touch rugby playoffs late last week. Cole Mosychuk, Carlin Marshall, Dane Peterson and Marty Wallace also scored touchdowns for the winners, who led 3–2 at half time. Scoring for Crows Touch were Dan Illich-
Bellingham. The opposition hit just .189 against the Texas native. In the final week of the season Marris was named the WCL Player of the Week, the only Falcon to win the honour this season. During that week he would throw 12.2 innings allowing just one run against Kitsap and the league’s best Wenatchee Applesox. Marris is eligible to return to the Falcons in 2012 as he is transferring to Southeastern Oklahoma State University where he will be a junior.

The Kelowna Falcons may not have made the West Coast League playoffs but fans of the Falcons had some pretty good talent to watch all summer in the collegiate baseball league. The Falcons named Bo Folkinga, a senior-to-be at Western Oregon University, as the team’s most outstanding player this summer. Folkinga is just the second player to join the Falcons from Western Oregon. He would end his first and only season in the WCL with a .310 average, good for sixth best in the league. He also recorded a team best 48 hits (second most in a single season), compiled eight doubles, 10 RBIs and a .372 on base percentage. The Twin Falls, Idaho
al game with a matchup against a strong team from Ontario. In the final, B.C. took the match three sets to one (25-23, 24-26, 25-19, 25-23). Beamish was named a tournament all-star, despite playing the entire event with a badly sprained wrist. “I dove for a ball in our first match and my wrist hit the ground funny,” she said. “I kept playing but it got worse until it got to the point where I could barely hit. “After a full assessment of my wrist it was determined that it was a severe sprain or possible tear. So I had it taped and simply played through it for the remainder of the championship,” Beamish said. “We are all pretty emotional because we never really expected to win. It’s
a pretty cool feeling.” Heat women’s volleyball coach Steve Manuel wasn’t surprised at the outcome of the event, or the fact his recruit was recognized at the championship. “Brianna is a proven winner,” said Manuel. “This is not the first time that she has taken her team all the way to a national championship. I am proud of her and look forward to seeing her in a Heat uniform in a month from now.” It won’t be long until Manuel gets a look at his squad, with the team holding its pre-season training camp starting Aug. 29. The Heat squad will then play its first series of exhibition matches Sept. 15-17 in Kelowna versus Trinity Western University and Thompson Rivers University.

ADULT GERM SHEP/HUSKY X SPAYED FEMALE
Sheba is in need of a good home and a diet. She is a bit nervous about being at the shelter and would love to go to her ‘forever home’. She would do best in a calm and quiet environment, that could provide her with a routine that she can get used to. If you have the perfect home for this beautiful girl and can provide for her needs, please come down and check her out.

YOUNGADULT GERM SHEPHERD /PITBULL X MALE
Titan is a young dog who is housetrained and playful. He is used to sleeping inside his kennel at night and playing in a fenced backyard during the day. He likes to play with cats and is also good with dogs. Titan knows how to sit, stay and will lean the other commands quickly. He loves the outdoors, walks in the woods and lots of space. If you are an energetic person looking for a canine companion, please come and spend some time with Titan.

ADULT LAB RETRIEVER X NEUTERED MALE
CHARLIE
Charlie needs some positive reinforcement. He is friendly and likes other dogs and people, but is still cautious around some men. With some gentle encouragement he will love everyone and will make a perfect companion. If you are interested in Charlie, please check him out at the shelter.
ID#243231
ADULT SHAR-PEI/PITBULL X SPAYED FEMALE
To say that Mico is a “great dog” would be a total understatement. He is great on walks, loves attention and will make the perfect pet in his new home. He is so well behaved, it will also be an easy transition for him and his new owners. If you are interested in welcoming Mico into your home, please come down for a meet and greet. He is good with other dogs.
YOUNG ADULT LAB RETRIEVER/ROTTI X FEMALE
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!
If you see a dog in a car on a hot day that you believe may be in trouble, call your local SPCA, animal shelter, or police immediately.
MICO
TITAN
Bella is a very special dog who needs a very special home. Her owners could not take her when they moved, and she had a rough start to life which makes her a timid dog, taking her time to warm up and trust people and her surroundings. Despite that she is loving, goofy, likes to play and would prefer a home with another social, friendly dog (she especially loves boys). She will need a quiet household, with patient loving people who understand her needs. Please call for an appointment to view as she is in foster right now.
ADULT DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR SPAYED FEMALE
Peaches came to us when her owner could no longer care for her. She loves to interact with people. She will fall over on her side for tummy rubs and loves to push her face into your hands. Peaches would make an excellent companion, as she is calm and would do well in a home where she can continue to express her love for human companionship. If you would like to meet her, please come down to the shelter and ask for an introduction.

Sasha is a very sweet girl who loves to be fussed over. She will throw a paw at you for attention and meow away. Sasha would do best in a home where she can be a lap cat and have all the attention she seeks. Although she can become uncomfortable when picked up too much, her space needs to be respected, and it would be best if there were NO CHILDREN in her new home. If you have a loving ‘forever’ home to offer Sasha please come down and meet her.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen drinks of summer Ahhh, the drinks of summer: long, tall, cool ones with fresh fruit and herbs, crushed ice and something fizzy, garnished liberally with more fresh fruit and herbs. Sounds terrific for relaxing on a hot Okanagan summer day, doesn’t it? And, just remember, many of those sorts of drinks have so much flavour on their own, that they’re just as delicious and refreshing without the alcohol. I’m particularly partial to a simple cranberry cocktail with ice and a splash of soda water to brighten it up—but add a squeeze of lemon or lime if you wish to kick it up a notch. This weekend I’ll be volunteering at the Okanagan Feast of Fields as I have for the previous two as well, and as usual, it’s already sold right out. This year, it’s being held at Van Westen Vineyards and Orchards in Naramata. Winemaker Robert Van Westen has received a number of awards for his wines, including the 2010 Lieutenant-Governor’s award for his 2008 Vino Grigio. His brother, Jake Van Westen Jr., received the Soft Fruit Award at the annual Tree Fruit Horticultural Symposium for his 28 acres of Lapin, Sweetheart and Skeena cherries earlier this year. This year’s event will see the familiar white tablecloths at each booth, and huge, open tents scattered on the farm where chefs, farmers and food retailers will join winemakers and brewers to present the bounty of the Okanagan to guests. Each guest will receive a napkin and wineglass at the gate and be free to wander the farm, enjoying a 25-course tasting menu under the summer sun, while being entertained with live music. It’s a fundraiser for the FarmFolk CityFolk Society which aims to educate consumers about where their food comes from, and the importance of supporting local farms. I’m a long-time fan of local farmers and believe strongly in the importance of buying and eating local food in season, so when this event came to the Okanagan, I felt I had to support it in any way I could. If you enjoy this column each week, you can now pick up my new book, Jude’s Kitchen, wherever books are sold, and have a taste of recipes and comments from past columns.
Blueberry Mojito It’s blueberry season, and the B.C. blueberry industry has a delicious suggestion for a new twist on that old favourite, the mojito. For designated drivers or non-drinkers, this is just as refreshing without the rum. 1 c. (250 ml) fresh mint leaves 1 tbsp. (15 ml) fresh lime juice 1 tsp. (5 ml) sugar 4 tbsp. (65 ml) fresh blueberries 1/2 c. (125 ml) lemonade splash of soda 1 oz. (30 ml) light rum 1/2 oz. (15 ml) dark rum mint sprig & lime slice, to garnish
In a tall glass, mix mint leaves, lime juice and sugar. Mash the ingredients with the back of a spoon or a ‘muddler’ until fragrant. Add half the blueberries and mash until juicy. Fill the glass three-quarters with ice. Add lemonade until the glass is twothirds full. Add a splash of soda, light rum and the remaining blueberries. Stir. Slowly pour the dark rum into the drink so it floats on top. Garnish with a sprig of mint and a slice of lime and serve immediately. Makes one drink.

Fran's Minty Mojitos Shoreside, tall cool drinks are a joy of summer, with or without the alcohol, and one of today’s favourites is the Cuban mojito, made with light rum and fresh herbs. For a Mexican mojito, substitute tequila for the rum. You’ll need about four fresh limes to make four of these mojitos. 4 sprigs of fresh mint 1 c. (250 ml) fresh lime juice 4 tsp. (20 ml) berry sugar crushed ice 8 oz. (250 ml) light rum 1 c. (250 ml) club soda garnish: 4 springs of mint optional: wedge of lime Most limes have about four tablespoons or two ounces of juice in them, so figure on
using roughly a lime for every drink you’re making. Berry sugar is a very fine sugar that dissolves easily, but you could also use regular sugar. Begin by putting a sprig of fresh mint into each of four tall glasses. Squeeze the juice from a lime over it and add a teaspoon of fine sugar. Muddle this mixture together with a spoon, crushing the mint so it releases its flavour into the sweetened lime juice. Add crushed ice. Pour rum over the ice and stir. Just before serving, top it off with a splash of club soda and garnish with a fresh mint sprig and perhaps a wedge of lime. Makes 4 drinks.
