Boaters and bikers warned to keep it down Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Boaters and motorcyclists had best keep the growl of their engines to a dull roar because Kelowna city council is looking into a noise bylaw with teeth. “We get a lot of complaints about noisy motorcycles and boats,” said Supt. Bill McKinnon, in his monthly presentation to city politicians. Unfortunately, he explained the legislation guiding how police deal with noisy vehicles is ineffective, so McKinnon hit up council for some further power. “I’d like to ask council draft a new noise bylaw, similar to the noise bylaw in Edmonton,” he said, noting that boats, motorcycles and drivers with booming stereos would be the focus of the amendment, and subsequent financial penalty. “(Implementation) would require investment in decibel readers and training, but it’s the right direction forward,” he said. If Kelowna were to mirror the Edmonton bylaw, which has been in effect for one year, police would be able to ticket anyone whose vehicle is producing 92 decibels of noise while idling. When

driving, the maximum acceptable noise would be 96 decibels. Motorcycles and boats with stock factory parts shouldn’t be a problem, as all on-road bikes are built to certain factory noise standards. The bylaw aims to crack down on bikes with custom exhaust systems that increase the bike’s noise. It’s a change in tack that council looked on favourably. Shepherd said she, like McKinnon, has heard heaps of complaints about noisy motorists, both on land and water, and Edmonton’s bylaw is already on her desk. Hobson said he has concerns about implementation of penalties due to the fact boat drivers can muffle their noise, upon command. That said, he’d welcome the change. “This weekend there was a boat across the lake (from his home) and with our windows closed, we couldn’t hear each other,” he said. City clerk Stephen Fleming said the city could start the process to amend the bylaw by the July 11 council meeting. All it would require would be the addition of a section about decibel reading levels. While it’s a city bylaw, the RCMP would be in control of issuing the fines.

CRASH…Firefighters and paramedics work on an elderly man whose vehicle went off the road and crashed into another vehicle parked in a Springfield Road driveway Monday. See story page A6.
Kelowna RCMP say they’re looking into whether the driver who hit two men walking on a quiet Rutland street Saturday morning was under the influence of crack cocaine. Const. Steve Holmes says the 32-year-old driver of a Jeep SUV, which hit two men aged 25 and 53 sending them both to hospital, had a pipe in the vehicle and appeared to be under the influence of drugs, according to the RCMP drug recognition expert. “It was a glass pipe, so that’s why it gives rise to the suspicion that it may be crack cocaine; however, final analysis is that it is yet to be determined,” said Holmes. RCMP are in the process of getting a warrant for lab results to make that determination from bodily fluid samples extracted at the hospital. Unlike drunk driving charges, which require both confirmation of alcohol in the blood stream and an amount to determine impairment, police simply have to verify that drugs were present and make a reasonable argument that the substance caused impaired judgSee Cops A2

Proving use of drugs hard: Cops
Cops from A1 ment when drugs are involved. However, RCMP Supt Bill McKinnon confirmed the case can be trickier to prove than an impaired driving charge stemming from alcohol consumption nonetheless. “It’s not so easy in terms of being able to demand a blood sample under the criminal code,” said McKinnon, who was
asked about the arrest at the regular Monday morning press briefing. Making a drug case stick means RCMP must establish a time line to ensure the substance was taken prior to the accident, and then secure a sample of blood, urine, or saliva to confirm the appearance of impairment is in fact drug related. Unlike a breathalyzer test, blood samples must either be given voluntarily or a drug recog-
nition expert can be called in to make a determination based on behavioural indicators as to whether a person is impaired. The next step is for that officer to demand a sample of bodily fluid. If the suspect does not provide the sample at that point they can be charged with a criminal offense and the charge becomes another factor in the impaired driving case. In this case officers
never got to that point as the driver complained he was injured before a sample could be taken. Charges of impaired driving (by drugs) causing bodily harm and dangerous driving causing bodily harm were recommended and the suspect has been released on a promise to appear in court mid-December, indicating police feel they have enough information to make the charges stick. Efforts to
secure the lab work are underway. McKinnon said he is constantly sending officers for training to ensure he has enough drug recognition experts on staff and believes there are currently four in Kelowna. The jeep struck the two men from behind. The 53-year-old was airlifted to Vancouver General Hospital where he is said to be recovering from serious, though non-life
threatening injuries. The 25-year-old, who is originally from Revelstoke, escaped with minor injuries. The RCMP could not confirm how the victims knew each other, but neighbours in the area said the men were both from Crossroads Treatment Centre on Franklyn Road, which sits directly behind where they were struck. Staff at the facility would not confirm that.

only $5 for the day, but even that gets filled quickly on busy days, and at Cedar Creek there’s an opportunity for cartoppers to be launched. Forbes notes they haven’t seen much of an increase in activity at their facilities yet this year, partly because of cool spring weather, but also because of the high lake level and more debris on the lake from the high runoff this year. The fact that the Kelowna Yacht Club opened 227 new moorage slips this year has likely also eased the situation because there are 227 boaters not now needing to launch their boats. Across the lake, there’s one provincial boat launch at Fintry Provincial Park with a dock, a regional district launch nearby in the community of Fintry as well as one at Killiney Beach, further north along Westside Road. Just across the bridge from Kelowna, there’s a District of West Kelowna boat launch at Casa Loma, called the John Dupuis launch where parks supervisor Stacey Harding says they have just extended the breakwater and the launch ramps. There is limited parking, for perhaps six to eight vehicles with trailers. It cost about $6,500 for the upgrade, but there are no user feels. As a trial, he says they have installed a gate there so there’s only dawn to dusk use, to prevent partying in what is a residential area. The municipality has

With the first warm days of summer the complaints begin: “All that water and so few places to get your boat to it.� The situation has been exacerbated this year by closure of the regional district’s public boat launch adjacent to Bear Creek Provincial Park on Westside Road. That launch was located on land owned by either B.C. Parks or Tolko Industries with a shortterm lease. It needed more than $100,000 worth of construction work, money which would have had to be funded entirely by the small number of taxpayers in the Central Okanagan West electoral area parks service area, so would have cost each property owner more than $40. In addition, regional district spokesman Bruce Smith said there was no secure, long-term tenure available on the site to make such an investment worthwhile, so it was closed. That move has been criticized by one boater who’s a regular user of launches in the area. Angler Jim Sutherland says not only are there too few boat launches for all the boaters in the area, and those of visitors, but there’s inadequate parking for vehicles and trailers while boaters are out on the water. And, he says, too often what parking is available is taken up by people without boats who don’t
pads and making it wider and longer. There are five spots there for people to park vehicles and 14 for vehicles with trailers, noted Smith, and there’s no charge. While there used to be signs, he said because of repeated vandalism, they have stopped replacing them. Cost of all the environmental approvals, environmental monitoring during construction and installation, engineering and construction of the pads was $45,000 he said. There’s also a boat launch at Coral Beach in Lake Country, operated by the municipality. Baker said the dock was removed because it got all bashed up with commercial use. It should be replaced any time with a new one. However, parking is always a problem there. Both launches are in residential areas, he noted. In the City of Kelowna, there are launch facilities at Sutherland Park in the north end, but it’s fairly shallow and only suitable for small craft, according to Ron Forbes, property manager for the city. While there’s deeper water at the Water Street boat launch, there’s limited parking nearby, and there’s a very deep launch at the foot of Queensway, where even sailboats with fixed keels can go in, but again there’s limited parking available. The Cook Street boat launch is well-used, and has a good-sized public parking lot, where it’s

obey signs setting aside parking for vehicles with trailers. “There’s a major shortage of facilities and there doesn’t seem to be the will (politically) to change the situation,� he commented. Lake Country Mayor James Baker, who also sits on the regional district board, says it’s all a question of money and where people want their tax dollars to go. “How many people boat? Who should have to pay for expensive facilities that will only benefit a small group of taxpayers? It’s not a priority for municipalities. “Okanagan Lake is a provincial playground. The province and the federal government, or tourism or boating groups, should take the lead,� he commented. The whole issue is bigger than any single municipality can deal with, particularly since it’s such an expensive one, he added. Sidewalks are more necessary than boat launches, and Lake Country is in dire need of sidewalks. That’s a safety issue, he pointed out. Money from senior governments is needed to provide boating facilities. For instance the Okanagan Centre boat launch in Lake Country is used by everyone from all around the valley, which is why it’s a regional facility, he noted. The regional district rebuilt the Okanagan Centre boat launch over the winter, replacing the launch base with three

heavily on education in hopes of convincing cautious behaviour. As Christopher Marrie, boating safety officer for Transport Canada Marine said, the Red Cross reports at least 40 per cent of boating accidents and fatalities involve alcohol. “Two thirds of the boating deaths in B.C. last year, occurred on inland water,” he said, adding Transport Canada actively partners with the RCMP and B.C. Conservation Officer Service to prevent on-water injuries and deaths. “No one wants to see an on-water collision, they are often horrific and tragic. Most on-water colli-
sions are the result of unsafe speed for the conditions and improper lookout.”

Re-designed summer wine fest goes valley-wide Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
After decades of wildly popular wine festivals in the Okanagan, the Okanagan Wine Festival Society is starting over with its summer festival— morphing it into a valleywide10-day-long, outdoor, wine-tasting event. And, organizer Christina Ferreira believes it could end up being the most popular off all of the four wine festivals that highlight each of the seasons. Along the way, the intent is to bring visitors to the valley, to not only patronize the businesses that are members of the wine festival society, but also all of the other attractions and services in the valley. The first couple of weeks in July are generally slow, so the idea is to bump up the rubber tire traffic into the valley from centres such as Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton.

Valley residents are encouraged to become ambassadors for the valley by inviting friends and relatives to visit during the festival, July 8 through 17, so there’s something different for everyone to do together during the visit. Ferreira admitted this is a completely re-vamped version of the summer festival, which has been entirely focussed on Silver Star Resort for the past decade. “Summer in the Okanagan is an easy sell,” she commented. All the wineries will have their tasting rooms open and there will be events up and down the valley, from summer wine and cheese beach parties to barbecues. Society-sponsored events range from the opening Pop Goes the Cork event Saturday, July 9 with more than 30 wineries opening bottles for tasting with cheeses at the Arts Common beside the Rotary Centre for the Arts; to the final event at Polson Park in Vernon Sunday, July 17 while being entertained by Spoken Word Artists. In between, there will be a Granfondo Wine Tasting with the celebrities in Penticton Sunday, July 10 and a Bartenders’ Mixology competition at the Kelowna Art Gallery Wednesday, July 13, using B.C. wines as one of the ingredients. On July 15, the society will hold its first event that far south in the valley, with a Beach Party in Osoyoos at the Watermark Beach Resort, tasting wines and cheeses. The re-designed festival is in partnership with tourism organizations throughout the valley. For details, pick up a brochure at tourism centres or where wine is sold, or go to the society’s website
A story that appeared in the June 23 edition of the Capital News, Sculpture Still Pursued, contained incorrect information. The tax receipt to be issued for the Herron’s Landing sculpture will go to the owner of the art work, not the local artist who created it.

Kelowna’s Farmers’ Market has become the weekend hotspot for everyone from families to hipsters, but the locale offers more than an opportunity to be seen in the right place at the right time. “The selection of local food is great,” said chef Mathew Morazain, the culinary director of UBC Okanagan, following a presentation where he whipped together sumptuous treats from entirely locally produced fare. Admittedly, however, a late spring has diminished the selection of produce—peas and tomatoes the two most lamented— but in even the worst conditions the valley has a bounty to choose from. The Okanagan’s natfural assets are actually the reason why the chef, who
competes on Team Canada in the North American culinary championships, relocated from his home in Ontario. “Locally focused food is the amazing way forward,” he said, “and the Okanagan has so much potential.” While Morazain speaks from the lofty domain of the foodie, he pointed out he’s not alone in his thoughts. He’s actually just caught up in a populist wave. More and more people are going back to the land, and he says that can be seen through the demand for community gardens around the valley. “I’m vice-president of the community garden in (West Kelowna), and we have a 30-person waiting list,” he said. “There’s nothing like fresh grown vegetables for taste, but it’s mainly price that’s creating demand.”

Car crash
Mounties investigate ‘head stomp’ incident at lacrosse game in Kamloops
Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
A driver in medical distress, lost control on Springfield Road Monday, hitting a power pole and lodging his car under a parked truck. The 79-year-old man from Kaleden was travelling down Springfield Road when he lost control, hit a power pole and landed in the driveway at 2989 Springfield Rd. “According to the people on site, the old man could have had a seizure and lost control of his car right in the curve on his way down the hill,” said Pierre Paris, who happened on the scene immediately after and shot photos (page A1). RCMP spokesperson Steve Holmes confirmed the driver has a problematic medical history and lost control as the result of medical issues. The brown Buick sedan crossed into the oncoming lane going faster than the 60 km/hr. speed limit before crashing, but did not hit anyone else. Paris stated he believes the jaws of life were used to extract the man from his car, which sustained major damage.
Tim Petriuk CONTRIBUTOR
A Kamloops teenager suffered a possible broken neck after a violent “head stomp” during a youth lacrosse game against a team from Kelowna over the weekend, police say. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said two youth teams— one from Kamloops and one from Kelowna—were playing a lacrosse game at Memorial Arena at noon on Saturday, June 25. Investigators are still trying to sort out the details, but Learned said it appears a 15-yearold player on the Kamloops team was running down the floor when he was cross-checked and knocked down by a Ke-
lowna player. “The Kelowna player then allegedly stopped and stomped on the head of the Kamloops youth,” he said, adding that the victim was taken to hospital to be assessed for a possible broken bone in his neck. Learned described lacrosse as “a very physical game,” and said police only investigate such incidents when “there is an allegation contact between two players went outside the boundaries of the game itself. “There has to be some reasonable action taken if the contact was outside the norm for what is expected in that sport,” he said. Learned said the Kelowna player could potentially face assault charges,
depending on what the investigation uncovers. In 2008, assault charges were laid after an altercation during a high school rugby game between Merritt and Sa-Hali secondary schools. In that instance, the youth was found not guilty after throwing a “hammer punch” at an opposing player during a scrum. Mounties are now speaking to as many witnesses to Saturday’s alleged incident as they can, and are also looking for any video or photos taken at the game. Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 250-828-3000. Tim Petriuk is a Black Press reporter with Kamloops This Week

In a little under two months, a field of grass and dirt in the Westbank Centre park will be transformed into a children’s spray park. Monday marked the official start of construction for the marathon project that was started in 2007 by the Westbank Rotary Club. Marjolein Lloyd, past president of the club, said it was the largest single project the club had ever taken on. “We have faced many
obstacles since the project was initiated in fall 2007, but we are thrilled to be moving forward and are excited to begin the construction phase,” she said. “It will provide families with countless hours of fun and will be a great way to beat the summer heat.” The Rotary Club raised almost $249,000 to make the park happen. Not bad considering it has fewer than 35 members. Think back to all the fundraisers: If you bought a raffle for Poop for the Park in 2008, bought a ticket to Taste of Westbank, bought a Ro-

Fundraising was aided in part by the West Kelowna Daybreak Rotary Club, in particular two members who donated time to engineer and lead the construction project. The District of West Kelowna kicked in more than $70,000 of taxpayer money as well. The Westbank First Nation also contributed. It was originally hoped to have the park—which joins the dog park, community garden and spirit square on May Street— opened this summer, but will most likely not open until September. It will feature a flower-shaped pad with approximately 20 spray features all designed and installed by Kelowna’s Waterplay Solutions Corp. West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater noted the project began before the district was even formed. “I am really pleased to do this as a mayor, as someone who is a resident in the community and as a grandfather of three little kids,” Findlater said in kicking off the ceremony. “It’s something that I know our family will enjoy.”

NEWS ▟ TAXPAYERS’ FEDERATION
Watchdog wary of civic wages Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Taxpayers are carrying a heavier financial load due to continually increasing public sector wages, says a representative of a government watchdog. “There isn’t a lot of incentive for councillors and mayors to restrain spending (on municipal wages,),� said Gregory Thomas, the B.C. director of the Canadian Federation of Tax Payers, on the heels of the City of Kelowna as annual report, where wages for all employees was listed as $55,640,306 in 2010. In 2008 the municipality spent around $54 million on all combined salaries. The rise, Thomas explained, is simply the eas-
iest path forward politically. “I don’t think there’s been a politician in B.C . who has lost an election because they’ve handed out an exorbitant pay increase,� he said. “Historically people get far angrier when services like the parks, playgrounds and waste collection is withdrawn in a strike than they do when taxes go up,� Strikes in Vancouver and Toronto, which were triggered by faltering negotiations with CUPE, were a political nightmare. “In both cases public rage at the mayors was monumental,� he said. “Bargaining units have a well co-ordinated bargaining strategy, nation-
ally and across the province, but municipal governments are left on their own.� While CUPE employees may be part of the equation, the cost of those who make $75,000-plus was almost half the city wage expenditure, coming in at $21,110,437. To that, Thomas said the political cause to raise executive pay is equally compelling. “With executive pay, you have this interesting dynamic at play,� he said. “People who run for council or mayor have a well defined program and they want to accomplish a couple specific things, and that requires the co-ordination of the managers.� He pointed out politicians make little money,
as the job is generally considered part time, and currying favour with the senior executive, direction or city can make their life easier. While it may seem there’s not much a taxpayer can do, Thomas said West Vancouver has a contingent of “grouchy, retired elderly ladies and gentlemen� who work to hold city governments accountable. “They’ve developed a huge following among other grouchy tax payers, and they’ve had a tremendous success, keeping taxes under control,� he said. “They’re the shining light, on the horizon of cranky, grouchy obstinate taxpayers who ask a lot of questions.� kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
â–ź COUNCIL
Building heights discussed again Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
The particulars of a broad stroke plan aimed at shaping Kelowna’s downtown brought a familiar conversation to the Monday’s council meeting — can this city handle highrises? According to a report that used the opinions of 41 charette participants,
the answer is yes. “Instead of maximum of 19, now policy would allow for 26 storeys on specific sites,� said Signe Bagh, the director policy and planning at City of Kelowna, explaining the results of the public planning meeting held earlier this month. Bernard Avenue would allow for a height of four storeys, closer to
the lake would be similar and as then heights would rise from to as high as 26 storeys. As has been the case in previous meetings, this finding was controversial among councillors. Couns. Charlie Hodge, Michele Rule, Graeme James and Mayor Sharon Shepherd all expressed concerns, although it ultimately gained favour as
an extremely rough draft and it will come back to council for further revision. “If i had my druthers it would be a bit different,� said Coun. Robert Hobson. “In my view we have to accept higher buildings to get the type of density we need to develop our downtown.� kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

While all of council made a taxable wage of just under $21,000 in addition to a non-taxable allowance of around $10,400 their expense accounts varied greatly. Coun.

Charlie Hodge, whose expenses came in at$2,330. Coun. Graeme James and Angela Reid each spent just over $3,800. Coun. Michele Rule and Coun. Robert Hobson were the biggest spenders on council, with expense accounts of $4,977 and $5,153 respectively. As for the mayor, her taxable income for 2010 was $58,398, non taxable income was $29,195. Her expenses were also the highest, at $6,998.

NEWS ▼ RUTLAND OFFICE
Full RCMP service…for now Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Residents of Rutland can rest assured their neighbourhood police station can now do just as much as the detachment downtown—though only for the next six months. Monday morning Kelowna RCMP announced they will expand to offer a full compliment of detachment services at both the downtown and Rutland Road locations, though the service increase is only part of a sixmonth pilot project at this point. “What we’re trying to do is improve the service delivery to the citizens that live out here,” said Supt. Bill McKinnon. “There has been considerable growth up in the Black
Mountain area and up on the McKenzie Bench and with that growth we’re trying to improve the service level for the people that live in this area. “On a typical day, with the growth, it will probably take you 25-30 minutes to get to the Doyle Street office. So if I lived out here, I think I would say that’s unacceptable,” McKinnon added. The detachment will now be able to take complaints and open police files, do fingerprints, complete criminal record checks for the general public and handle found property receipts. Operating Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the office will be staffed by an average of four or five officers, plus the Rutland school liaison officer.
Those officers have been in place for over a year as the RCMP already made a decision to move some officers over from the rural detachment in West Kelowna to deal with complaints which fall outside Kelowna’s jurisdiction on this side of the bridge— generally at Big White. The new office means the RCMP will take a city staff person from their downtown office up to the new Rutland one to handle the front counter, which has been operated by volunteers to date. Should the RCMP decide the pilot project is worth making a permanent venture, McKinnon would have to get Kelowna city council to agree to pay $60,000 per administrative staff member. Success will be gaged
by service improvements, particularly in dealing with criminal record check clearances, which have been backing up at the downtown office. “We’re running about a month behind on those security clearances for people,” said McKinnon, adding “hopefully we’re going to be able to take some of the burden off of our downtown office.” McKinnon said the project was fuelled by requests for service from those living in the area and demand, but noted he had not been lobbied for the change. Renovations have already been completed on the building to handled the expansion of officers, and a computer installed at the front desk which has the RCMP’s comput-

▼ ADVISORY
CORD water warning lifted After consultation with Interior Health, the Regional District of Central Okanagan has lifted the water quality advisory for residents served by the Falcon Ridge Water System in the Central Okanagan East electoral area. CORD communications co-ordinator Bruce Smith said the turbid-
ity in the source water for the Falcon Ridge system has decreased and is once again within the acceptable Interior Health guidelines for drinking water quality. “As a result we’ve removed the precautionary water quality advisory that was brought in May 16. Since the advisory was
brought in customers of the regional district water system located off Highway 33 were urged follow Interior Health guidelines that recommended boiling all water intended for drinking, washing produce, making beverages or brushing teeth for at least one minute or that they use a safe alternative
to water from the tap such as bottled or distilled water or water filtered through a well-maintained in-home treatment device. The advisory was instituted when turbidity in the system’s water source rose above acceptable water quality levels due to the spring runoff in nearby Mission Creek.

Fear of the dentist is common
‘Critical’ decision by UBCO
D
oes the thought of climbing into a dentist’s chair send shivers up your spine? Do you get a queasy feeling even contemplating a routine cleaning or filling? Well, you’re not alone. Dental fear is one of the most common fears out there. As many as 75 percent of adults experience some level of fear surrounding a visit to the dentist. Roughly five per cent of people experience a severe form of dental fear sometimes referred to as dental phobia, dentophobia or dental anxiety. In dental phobia, individuals are so fearful of dental treatment that they avoid it all together and only reluctantly seek the dentist when there is an emergency need. Unfortunately, avoiding dental care until an invasive emergency treatment is needed often only serves to strengthen the fear. Dental phobia seems to be most commonly caused by a negative direct experience with dental care, but can also be triggered indirectly when

Paul Latimer hearing about the experiences of others or through media portrayals or having a negative medical experience. Many people are fearful of the dentist because they feel as though they are not in control. Whatever the cause, dental phobia can have negative consequences as good oral health is important to our overall health and quality of life. Luckily, since it is such a common experience, there are some good techniques for helping to alleviate this condition and turn a dental visit into a tolerable if not desirable experience. Treatment for severe dental fear usually involves a combination of behaviour therapy and medicinal assistance. Behaviour therapy can be particularly effective and is often focused on a

gradual exposure to the feared experience. This is a therapy technique employed in many different kinds of phobias and anxiety. With dental fear, therapy of this sort may often start with imagining feared objects or portions of a dental visit, leading to viewing pictures of dentists working, eventually seeing some dental tools up close and gradually making the journey to the dental chair and finally treatment. Of course, this kind of gradual treatment can take time, but is often worth it for the long term benefit of lessening anxiety and ability to seek regular dental care as needed. Relaxation techniques, education and building a good relationship with the dentist are also helpful in reducing fear. Most dental offices are well-equipped and willing to help fearful patients as well. Some clinics even go so far as to ca-
ter to a sensitive clientele by offering mild sedation or even general anaesthesia to patients feeling anxious. Nitrous oxide (or laughing gas) is one of the milder forms of sedation often used by dentists to put their patients at ease. It is inhaled through a mask during a feared procedure and produces feelings of relaxation and dissociation in the patient. Oral sedatives such as benzodiazepine are also used by dentists to help in some situations. If you experience dental phobia and are overdue for a cleaning or dental procedure, I strongly advise you to discuss this with your doctor or dentist and come up with a plan on how to proceed. Your dental health is important and there is no need to continue living in fear. Help is available. Paul Latimer is a psychiatrist. 250-862-8141 dr@okanaganclinicaltrials.com

Filibuster simply a waste of time
T
he federal NDP used to have power in Parliament. Now it’s all talk. As evidenced by its 56-hour filibuster last week to stall backto-work legislation in the Canada Post labour dispute, the party is powerless to stop bills it opposes now that the Conservatives have a majority. But it didn’t used to be like that. In the heady days of two successive minority Parliaments, the NDP had real power. With the ruling Tories needing support for anything it wanted to pass, Canada’s party of the left knew it could wrestle con-
cessions. But what the Canadian electorate gave with one hand—the mantle of official Opposition for the NDP—it took away with the other by giving the Conservatives a majority. And last week, the NDP found out just how difficult a position that can be. For a party that purports to represent working people in this country, the spectre of back-to-work legislation is an insult to its members. Back-to-work legislation thumbs its nose at collective bargaining, kicking it to the curb.

Asia-Pacific project marches on from premier to education
H
ere are a few items that didn’t make the daily news cycle as B.C. residents prepared for the long-awaited summer of 2011 to begin. • After her meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Ottawa last week, Premier Christy Clark delivered a luncheon speech to the Economic Club of Toronto. Her big talking point for the speech was the rise of the Asia-Pacific region: “the fastest-growing middle class in the history of humanity.”
The theme ran through her pitch to the federal government for a share of Ottawa’s largestever shipbuilding contract, and her recent meeting with Western Tom premiers in YellowFletcher knife. No word on how Clark’s enthusiasm for the West as Canada’s economic engine of the future went over with the Bay Street crowd. • After the speech, Clark took the wheel of a Chevy Volt electric car for a spin around Toronto with a GM Canada vice-president riding shot-
VICTORIA VIEWS
gun. She pronounced the car “fantastic technology.” This is pertinent as B.C. residents get ready to pay the latest increase in B.C.’s carbon tax. Effective July 1, the tax on a litre of gasoline rises from 4.45 cents to 5.56, with comparable increases to other carbon fuels. Clark has inherited Gordon Campbell’s aggressive climate change-clean energy agenda, and it’s not yet clear what will become of it. She has committed to the last consumer carbon tax increase in 2012 (up to 6.67 cents on a litre of gas), but the fate of the big hydroelectric push remains uncertain. Those plug-in electric cars need to
start selling before Campbell’s gamble of developing increasingly costly electricity starts to pay off. One potential competitor is natural gas-powered vehicles, taking advantage of huge new shale gas discoveries in B.C. and elsewhere. • Campbell’s pending appointment as Canada’s high commissioner in the United Kingdom should warm the hearts of conspiracy theorists. The story broke when Clark was in Ottawa, and when reporters asked for her take on the appointment, her first comment was that he’ll be a big help in negotiating a free trade agreement with the European Union. Students of Bill Vander Zalm will
know that he sees the harmonized sales tax and EU trade as an effort to impose world government and set B.C.’s sales tax rate in Europe. Early in his goofy anti-HST campaign, Vander Zalm claimed this was plan B for world government after the conspirators failed to impose a global carbon tax. If the HST is a conspiracy, it’s a mighty big one. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon never tires of reminding people that 140 countries already have value-added taxes, including China and those other Asia-Pacific tigers dominating the world economy.

Fruit grower supports keeping HST To the editor: They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away. But as an orchard owner in Summerland, and the president of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association, I can tell you that the HST keeps the tax collector from bothering me. How can anyone vote against keeping the 10 per cent HST (Editor’s note: As promised by the B.C. government if the referendum sup-
ports keeping HST) and bring the 12 per cent PST-GST back? It’s not just the fact that the PST we paid on any supplies we needed for our business was a hard cost. It’s not just that those costs had to be passed on to our customer or that each and every month there were two tax filings. It’s the fact that returning back to the old 12 per cent PST-GST system is bad for busi-
ness, customers and families. The 12 per cent PST-GST will cost all of us more. Why would anyone want a system that takes money away from our wallets and hurts our economy? I don’t—and that’s why I’m saying No to going back to the PST-GST. Joe Sardinha, Summerland

Cedar Park non-decision is ‘passing the buck’ To the editor: It was gratifying to see that the majority of the seven City of Kelowna councillors involved with this (proposed Cedar Creek Park/commercial development) project appear to now understand that the public is opposed to large buildings built on public waterfront lands. We congratulate those that had to courage to turn down the C-9 zoning ap-
plication. However, if council is going to show true strength and leadership it should make a decision on what will replace the C-9 application before the November municipal election. Just using an escape clause to delay the decision until after the election by funding another study is not leadership. It is passing the buck to the new council which
will be elected in November. The present council has been dealing with this matter for six months and should understand all the issues related to the properties. It should understand the technical issues and it should understand the public opinion. Why should the existing council not make the decision as to the future use for these valuable lands and
take ownership? The lack of a clear vision for what will go on this unique property will create uncertainty in the area. Investors, developers and even property owners hate uncertainty. There is no good reason why this study could not be completed before the November election. There are always ways to juggle funds around to pay for the study this year
if it is deemed important enough. The study’s recommendation could then go to council in October and they could vote on it before the election. We challenge council to show leadership and take ownership for what they started and not leave the job to a new and inexperienced council. Bob and Rachel Whitehead, Kelowna
Mental illness is a medical condition, not social To the editor: Re: Homeless Study Results Offer Shocking Insights, June 21 Capital News. In her second paragraph, reporter Kathy Michaels quotes Christene Walsh: “Our homeless are getting older, they’re getting younger and they have acute mental health issues.” I have a couple of concerns, isn’t mental health a medical issue? Is it a product of our ‘mind’ or our brain? Is our brain an organ, like our heart, our lungs, our skin? Ms. Walsh is quoted as saying: “We have a need for long-term housing, with 24-hour staff,” and: “There also needs to be further investment in addictions and mental health services and in breaking down the barriers to employment.” Do folks realize that
most social workers have little to no training in mental health? Are more social workers what we need or is it informed, educated professionals who can accurately diagnose and treat mental health that we need. Who can they be? All of our kids go to school and teachers don’t have to have any mental health training, not even our resource teachers. So, we send a lot of our future adults to school don’t we? Mental health challenges can often be seen in a child. What if teachers had it added to their curriculum? Could they “notice” some signs of mental health concerns with a level of confidence and then refer those children to the appropriate professionals? And what about our doctors, what percentage of their training is in the
area of mental health, in children, let alone adults? Less than five per cent— ask your family doctor. Can social workers be better trained? Shouldn’t they be, if they are to be on the front lines with all of those homeless folks who are getting older and getting younger, who have acute mental health issues? I would think it would be one of their main study focuses. It is not. Maybe we think we can ‘parent’ or ‘cognitively develop’ those mental health issues away? Is that true for diabetes or heart defects? Shouldn’t we consider that our brains are, in fact, one of many organs in our bodies and they sometimes need informed medical intervention? I’d be satisfied if the people who struggle with mental health issues could
be accurately diagnosed, as early in life as possible and then have the extra work force added to help them cope. Let’s spend our money and advocate for educating our professionals in the area of mental health before we throw more of them into our system. My belief is that with proper assessments, accurate diagnoses, and optimal treatment, we wouldn’t have as many folks in need of more housing and more social workers, drug and alcohol addiction counsellors and our jail cell population would shrinking. Lots of us function quite well in society with mental health challenges; we’re the lucky ones who got the help we need. There is no more shame in getting help for mental health issues than there is in getting cancer treatment or help for
a heart condition. First we get the medical facts, then the protocol, then whatever we need for support—in that order. Scientific, medical information first. We all need to live with our imperfections; we all need medical intervention at some point, or many points, in our lives. We may then need help learning how to live with whatever we’re still struggling with. What we don’t need are people who don’t understand us. How can they truly help?

• Douglas College in New Westminster and the Heilongjiang Institute of Science and Technology in Harbin, China have celebrated the graduation of 137 students in their dualdegree business administration program. Begun in 2003 with an exchange of instructors, students take 52 courses to qualify them as spe-
cialists in global financial markets and international banking. • By last year, there were 94,000 international students in K-12, post-secondary and language schools in B.C. According to the advanced education ministry, if considered an export service, international education is B.C.’s fifth largest export, accounting for seven per cent of exports.
Meanwhile in B.C., discussion of international trade still tends to revolve around lumber and logs. And according to a recent poll, many still consider Vander Zalm to be an authority on trade and taxes. It’s time to join the world’s adult conversation.

Mexican trip a cultural crash course for local UBCO students When Joanne Gabias lands in Mexico next month, she will have little desire to hit the tourist hot spots. In fact, the linguistic anthropology major at the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus turned down a chance to visit Cancun beaches in favour of spending time mingling in the everyday lives of her hosts. There will be some visits to tourist destinations but for Gabias, the real adventure will be mixing with the locals. Gabias is among several local UBC students traveling to the Quintana Roo University from July 2 to July 24, where she will learn Spanish and help teach English. But she is most interested in what she will learn living among average Mexicans for almost three weeks. “There are going to be lots of cultural experien-
ces,” she said. “We’re going to go and visit Mayan villages. We’re going to act like locals and do what locals do.” Her hosts have already spent time in Canada, where they toured B.C. and immersed themselves in Canadian culture. From their visit here, Gabias learned some lesser-known facts about Mexican culture—like putting ketchup and mayonnaise on popcorn. “Even at the movie theatres in Mexico, they have ketchup for you. That’s the sort of thing you don’t learn without spending time with the locals,” said Gabias. As for the Mexican students, their trip north will not soon be forgotten. “Before the trip, their knowledge of Canada was limited. This has been a great learning experience for them,” said Quintana Roo University instructor
Caridad Macola. The visiting students live in the state of Quintana Roo, which stretches from the Gulf of Mexico in the north to the Belize border. UBC staff from the international programs and services department, as well as the aboriginal programs and services department, hosted the Mexican visitors and coordinated their itinerary in the Okanagan. The highlight for many students here was the trip to Big White, where they were introduced to snow. Another highlight was cycling on the Kettle Valley Rail beds. “It was amazing for me to see the snow (for) the first time,” said Quintana Roo student Rosy Cuevas. “I loved playing with it and (trying) the snowboard, although it was just a little trip.”

▼ USING TECHNOLOGY
UBCO hosts e-learning conference Learning technologists from around the world are in Kelowna this week for the sixth annual International Conference on eLearning (ICEL). Hosted at UBC Okanagan yesterday and today, the conference welcomed participants from 37 countries, said conference chair Peter Arthur. “We are looking forward to meeting our colleagues from as far away as Malaysia, New Zealand, and South Africa,”
said Arthur, who is director of the Centre for Teaching and Learning at the Okanagan campus and a professor in the faculty of education. Over the two days of the conference, researchers, practitioners and academics will present their research findings, works in progress, case studies and conceptual advances in areas of work where education and technology intersect. “We are earning a
reputation for leadership in many areas of research and teaching,” said Arthur. “Hosting this global conference is an important opportunity to introduce our Okanagan campus to other influential people working at the cross-road of teaching, learning and technology.” A variety of topics will be addressed at this interdisciplinary conference, including issues important in higher education, instructional design, and e-
learning, with applications in law, science, library science, medicine, business, human resources, cultural studies and many other disciplines. “Our intention is to help practitioners find ways of putting research into practice, and researchers to gain an understanding of real-world problems, needs and aspirations.” Proceedings will be submitted to the Electronic Journal of e-Learning.

There are many ways to reach out to Okanagan seniors
T
he regular readers of my column know that I am passionate about caring for seniors. Therefore, I am concerned about all things related to seniors. One of the most disheartening comments that I so often hear from seniors or their families is that they believe that they are alone in what they are feeling or their concerns. This is so far from the truth. However, they feel isolated because they do not know where to go for information or to speak with someone else in a similar situation.
SENIORS’ CONCERNS
Sharen Marteny Part of what I do is meet with families to discuss their individual situations as to what is happening with their elderly parents. This is a one-on-one meeting. I also teach courses at Okanagan College, in the continuing studies department, to help family members of seniors an-
swer their questions. This works as a group meeting and is beneficial for a larger number of people at one time. I am fortunate enough to be able to write this weekly column which reaches an even larger group of people each week. But, as beneficial as all of these methods are, they are not expansive enough. Many more families of seniors need to be able to interact with each other. For that reason, I created a Facebook page to be a platform for seniors, their families, and any
person or company involved with seniors to be able to connect.
‘‘
I STILL BELIEVE THAT KELOWNA AND THE OKANAGAN CAN BECOME MODEL LOCATIONS FOR ACTIVE SENIORS.
It is a common location to post ideas and concerns and for others in similar situations to respond with solutions.
It is your platform to express yourself and receive feedback. Often to feel better people just need to be able to vent and feel that they have been heard. Based on your comments and recommendation, I will make sure that the people or companies that need to know your valuable input receive it. I will keep you updated as to what progress is being made. For example, when the RCMP and I are doing our presentations on fraud schemes aimed at seniors, you can post on the Facebook page about what
additional information you would like included for future presentations. Perhaps you have visited a company that was extra “senior friendly” in their service and you want to share your experience. Or maybe you would like a company to know how the service or product could be improved. You might have experienced a situation that has recently happened and you need to know how to handle it most positively in the future. You can suggest topics for future columns in this space. This platform is avail-
able for you to provide positive and helpful information to seniors and their families across Canada and around the world. I have said it before and I still believe that Kelowna and the Okanagan can become model locations for active seniors and for seniors to transition with dignity as they go through age-related situations. If you want to participate, then go to Sharen Marteny on Facebook. Sharen Marteny is a services consultant for seniors in Kelowna. 250-212-1257 www.seniorsconsulting.net

She will custom make cookies and during the Stanley Cup, her Canuck cookies were a great hit. She dropped by with beautifully decorated butterfly cookies and what I liked about them was that they were not overly sweet. Call 250763-8070.

Should we eliminate human rights commissions?
A
recent edition of the Lawyers’ Weekly contained an article entitled Human Rights Commissions: Remove Them, Don’t Reform Them. While I’m sometimes a critic of the work of provincial and federal human rights commissions and tribunals, eliminating them has never struck me as the solution. Chris Schafer, executive director of the Canadian Constitutional Foundation, stated in his article that “nothing short of abolishment will suffice” to “cure what ails the human rights system.” Talk about throwing the baby out with the bathwater (where did that grisly phrase come from, anyway?). His recommendation starts with the premise
YOU WORK HERE
Robert Smithson that “discrimination ought to be universally available to everyone” because it is “a natural part of individual behavior.” According to Schafer, “the right of individuals to make choices, or in other words discriminate, is a fundamental aspect of a free society”. But, says Schafer, governments selectively determine who is free to discriminate in our society while others (such as landlords, employers and service providers) cannot. He’s surely correct
about that—human rights legislation intentionally limits the discretion of the most powerful actors in our society in order to protect the interests of those at the other end of the spectrum. In advocating for the abolishment of human rights commissions (and, presumably, the legislation they enforce), Schafer states “the free market offers the best way to improve the lot of those discriminated against.” Apparently, if human rights legislation governing the activities of private actors is abolished, discriminatory conduct will eventually grind to a halt under its own weight. As an example, Schafer describes a process by which employers who discriminate in their hiring practices hinder
their own competitiveness by passing up some of the best candidates. Those employers operate at a disadvantage as their non-discriminatory competitors snap up these choice candidates. The competitive pressures of the free market eventually compel discriminatory employers to “either drop their bigoted hiring practices or go out of business.” Schafer’s article is, to put it simply, the sort of hokum that can be mistaken for scholarly consideration of the challenges facing our society. First, the theory that the “free market” will lead to the disappearance of discrimination is contradicted by history. If Schafer’s theory is correct—that market forces, alone, will sanitize
our society of discrimination—why hasn’t it already occurred? The volume of work done by human rights commissions across the country, addressing many thousands of complaints per year, strikes me as proof the free market isn’t having the effect suggested by Schafer. If it were, wouldn’t these commissions be experiencing a noticeably declining rate of complaints? Second, at its essence, Schafer’s theory is based on the dual premises that discriminatory practices impose penalties on the perpetrator and that these penalties serve as a sufficient incentive for the perpetrator to change its ways. But the market forces dynamic can only (pot-
entially) work its magic if the discriminator is unable to replace the victims of discrimination—employees, customers, business partners, etc. If they can be replaced, easily or otherwise, then the penalty effect may never occur. The victims of discrimination can almost always be replaced because our society rarely reaches the point at which there is a shortage of human resources. If, for instance, there is a true labour shortage then the penalty effect may occur but this is certainly not a frequent scenario. Even if engaging in discriminatory practices does impose a penalty on the perpetrator, what doesn’t hold water is that the loss of these valuable contributors will, in and
of itself, necessarily motivate the discriminator to change its ways. It might be validly argued, in fact, that the loss of these contributors is precisely the objective of the discriminator. There may be a valid argument out there somewhere for the elimination of our human rights commissions. Unfortunately for Schafer, his isn’t one of them.

wasn’t certain I would ever feel so compassionate about another person’s journey into the entrepreneurial world. But guess what? I was wrong. This week, I met a woman who is so dedicated to her entrepreneurial world that it almost chokes me into submission with its dedicated passion. Let’s go back a bit and identify that Sharlene Kjorven (her married name) and her family im-

Joel Young migrated from India and with three boys and a girl, her parents decided to settle in Richmond, which seems to embrace over the years a healthy population from around the world.
With an entrepreneurial mother and a father who was more traditional in his approach to life’s journey, Sharlene quickly realized that her work ethic would be her calling card and obtained her first job at 13 years of age at an A & W, providing a backdrop in the retail business sector. While working in the school theatre, her future career vision began to formulate and Sharlene determined that makeup and skin care was a path that

appeared very attractive. During and after high school, Sharlene took courses with Blanche MacDonald, a famous esthetic training academy, and shortly thereafter moved into with a significant milestone in her life working for the Holt Renfrew department store in Vancouver where she quickly advanced to counter manager, where she remained for 10 years. There she arrived at the conclusion that skin care for everyone was to be her
secondary career focus. During 1999, Sharlene became a teacher at Blanche Macdonald and with a six-year professional partnership was able to develop and further enhance her skills in makeup and skin care with a freedom to enjoy experiences in the film and television industry. By 2007, she was ready to move forward to her next milestone and worked in pharmaceutical sales mostly in skin care and as she told me joy-

fully, she truly had wonderful memories working with an international skin care line Vivier, well known for its topical Vitamin C products within the medical community. In this role, Sharlene counselled physicians and health spa professionals about how they could utilize skin care products to actually make a difference in people’s lives for the better. During 2007-2008, while helping a friend and a relative set up a store, Sharlene met her husband, an Albertan. The new couple decided to begin their married life fresh in a new environment where Sharlene could kick-start her career as a bona fide entrepreneur with her own enterprise. Goodness knows, she had prepared herself with conviction and determination to help others learn how to take care of the skin they were created with and to be proud of their abilities to do so. In 2009, the couple settled in the Central Okanagan and the SHAR Skincare & Rouge professional retail and service Centre was created and launched on Ellis Street in downtown Kelowna. Sharlene Kjorven, whom I shall now refer to as Shar, is a make up artist with 14 years experience in nearly every aspect of the industry. She has been esteemed as a cosmetic am-
bassador by some of the world famous lines working alongside national makeup artists from around the world. Shar is a firm believer in skin care and makeup education. “I like to establish a relationship of trust and confidence with each of my clients, for them to know how and why to use the right products—for them.” Shar’s love of the industry has kept her on the forefront of the many changes and innovations in the market in terms of techniques and products. It was only time before, she couldn’t hold herself back any longer and the move to the Okanagan, proved very timely as it prompted the entrepreneurial soul that she is to break out on her own. Ironically, I met Shar only after my wife and daughter had visited her centre on Ellis Street and couldn’t stop raving about this passionate and knowledgeable woman who is truly an ambassador, not only of health, skin and beauty but, of life itself. What a joy. I recommend that you visit Shar at her skin care centre and check out her web site as well.

Accountant makes a case for keeping the harmonized sales tax went something like this. If you were considering purchasing a desk (as an example and ignoring any tax exemptions) here are the approximate steps and taxes that may have been applied to the price of that desk.
First you have the wood that would need to be logged and PST would be applied to the log. The loggers would sell that wood to the mills who would manufacture that wood into sheets or veneer and PST would be
added to that product, so now the cost of the product has actually gone up by 14 per cent because the PST has been embedded into the product twice. Then the furniture manufacturer purchases the wood and makes
the desk and on the sale the consumer would be charged PST yet again. You would purchase the desk and pay PST on that desk, so now you have paid PST on that desk a total of three times and actually paid 21 per
cent over and above the cost of the wood. So with the arrival of the HST here is how the scenario in the previous paragraph would change.

he HST referendum began on June 24. There are still a number of people that I have spoken to who are still on the fence as to whether or not the HST is good or bad for B.C. I felt that I needed to add my voice to those explaining why you should vote to keep the HST. Everyone is hopeful that Canada Post will return to work this week and when that happens, the HST ballots will be delivered to your home and must be filled out and sent back by July 22, 2011. It is unfortunate that the people of B.C. were not given enough information last July when the HST was implemented and that we weren’t able to vote on the change in tax at that time. I believe that the premier was trying to save the province some money by tagging our switch along with the switch in Ontario, which gave us $1.6 billion. Due to the public uproar the government has now committed to $1.7 million being spent to educate the public on the benefits of this tax. I would have rather seen that money be used toward other items such as our health care system, but here we are. Originally we had the federal sales tax (FST) and the provincial sales tax (PST). The FST, at that time, was charged on all goods coming into Canada and was embedded into the price of many items. The tax was collected by the provinces, sent to Ottawa and then funded back to the provinces. The FST was archaic and hard to administer so a tax reform was instituted to expand the items that were subject to tax which was thought to slow down foreign imports and encourage Canadians to purchase Canadian, hence the Goods and Services Tax (GST) was born. The GST was applied to more items broadening the tax base that would be returned to the provinces for their use. The PST is also a tax that was embedded in the actual product and additionally charged on top of the price of some products. This tax was only applied to physical products and not to services and

UPTOWN RUTLAND BUSINESS ASSOCIATION
#1-190 Hollywood Road
250.860.5646
Uptown Rutland home to over 260 businesses CONTRIBUTED BY DEBORAH GUTHRIE
In today’s economic climate, many local businesses have struggled with turning a pro¿t - increased costs, fewer customers, the introduction of the HST and the new .05 legislation have combined to form a whole series of challenges. However, one community has worked together to overcome these economic dif¿culties and lead the way out of the recession. Uptown Rutland, the business centre of one of Kelowna’s earliest neighbourhoods, has experienced strong growth over the past year, with new construction, business expansions, and a
number of new business startups. The community of Rutland was established in the late 1800s, as land opened for settlement and ranchers and farmers such as August Calmels, Chapee, George Simpson, and Michael Hagan took up pre-emptions nearby. William Peon discovered gold in the Gallagher’s Canyon area and Frederick Brent established the ¿rst grist mill in the Okanagan valley, located north of Rutland at Peon Creek. In 1902, John Hope Rutland arrived from Australia and purchased three parcels of land in the area now bordered
by Reid’s Corner, Black Mountain Road, and present-day Uptown Rutland, building Rutland House on the west side of Vernon Road. John Rutland is believed to have installed the ¿rst irrigation system in Rutland, and he planted the ¿rst commercial orchards in 1903. Although John Rutland and his family remained in the area for only a few years, his accomplishments were the beginning of Rutland’s agricultural base. Today, Uptown Rutland is home to over 260 businesses, a thriving community with strong roots in the past and a
vision for the future. The Uptown Rutland Business Association (URBA), led by Deborah Guthrie, works to assist local businesses with marketing strategy, promotions, and business revitalization. URBA also provides a forum for business owners to share their vision for the community and ensures that their voice is heard by municipal, provincial and federal governments. In addition to monthly business networking events such as Uptown After Hours, URBA also organizes community and family events that bring people together.
My Neighbourhood Restaurant offers more than great food! CONTRIBUTED BY
DEBORAH GUTHRIE
Long overdue and very much welcomed by the Rutland community, My Neighbourhood Restaurant is truly a neighbourhood-oriented restaurant – offering great food at reasonable prices and also as a partner in the local area. Opening in May 2011, My Neighbourhood Restaurant has reached out to the community with continued enthusiasm to participate in events and to work with local partners to revitalize the business centre of Rutland. “More than anything, we want to be a visible partner in our community. We live here, we have expanded our business, and we want to contribute to the community that supports us”, states Leora Rupert, co-owner of the restaurant with her husband, Ryan Wickert. For Leora and Ryan, it all started when they found their home in Rutland and fell in love with the community. In January 2007, they purchased Muga Java on Highway 33 and quickly doubled the small café’s business. “There was so much more we wanted to do, but we just didn’t have the space at Muga Java.” It took almost two years before Ryan and Leora found the right space. The realtor was still placing the for sale sign. “He was actually up on the ladder placing the sign, and I was standing right there on the corner with my cell phone, dialling his number. I watched
him pull his phone out of his pocket, and said, ‘Well… I’d like to make an appointment…’, and the rest is history.” Leora and Ryan soon determined that a new building would be the best ¿t for the great location and, with GTA Architecture, designed the eyecatching, modern building on Highway 33 at Roxby Road next to Roxby Park. Clint Gavel, President of GTA Architecture Ltd., describes himself as the middleman between their dreams and reality: “Leora and Ryan are to be praised for taking a new risk with their building and their business.” “We chose the name, My Neighbourhood Restaurant, because that’s our vision. We want to be a part of the community and we want the community to feel like they have a part in our restaurant - accessible to everyone, affordable, friendly, and with a truly local feel.” “My Neighbourhood Restaurant is a wonderful addition to Uptown Rutland”, states Deborah Guthrie, Executive Director of the Uptown Rutland Business Association. “We’re excited that My Neighbourhood Restaurant will host the business networking event Uptown After Hours on July 6th, from 5 to 7pm. Leora and Ryan are committed to the community: “We built our business with the intention of being involved in what goes on, not just at our restaurant, but everywhere in Rutland… we’re here to stay”. My Neighbourhood Restaurant is open seven days a week, serving breakfast, brunch, and lunch, and features a variety of both mouth-watering house specialties and long-time favourites, including the Ultimate Reuben, Crab Cake Bennys, Chili Dog Sliders, and Classic breakfasts. Leora and Ryan invite you to come and join them for your ¿rst of many great meals at My Neighbourhood Restaurant at 260 Highway 33 in Uptown Rutland. Contact Info: My Neighbourhood Restaurant, 260 Highway 33, Kelowna BC V1X7K7, Phone: 250-765-0221
Will Uptown Rutland continue to see such positive growth? Nick Aubin, President of URBA certainly does, “I believe it will with the
strength of URBA, with the support of the city and the growth of Rutland and adjoining communities such as Black Mountain and Belgo.
Uptown Rutland will be seen as an enabling business environment with a competitive advantage because of the support of the local communities.”

The logger would charge HST on the logged wood. The mill would purchase that wood and receive a credit for the HST paid when they purchase the log. The mill would manufacture the sheets or veneer and charge HST on the product. The product would be purchased by the furniture manufacturer who would receive a credit for the HST paid on the purchase from the mill. Then the furniture manufacturer would create the desk that would be purchased by the consumer. The consumer would pay the HST on that product, but would only pay the amount once and would not need to worry that HST had been embedded in the price of the product. This is the reason that it is expected that eventu-
ally the prices of products will come down. The HST is considered a transparent tax that is not embedded in any product costs. The conclusion is that the HST is good for B.C. in the short and long run. Low income families and seniors will receive an increased HST credit. As consumers, we all need to pay tax so the question is would you rather pay tax that is imbedded in the price, or see the actual tax you are paying?

Dog bylaw upheld by appeals court A ruling by the B.C. Court of Appeal has upheld the Regional District of Central Okanagan’s dog regulation and impounding bylaw. CORD asked the province’s highest court to overturn a Supreme Court ruling in June last year after a Kelowna resident challenged the validity of a section of the Bylaw and the authority of the regional district to provide dog control enforcement in the City of Kelowna. “We and our member municipalities are very pleased with the ruling which reinforces the ability of regional district’s and member municipalities to adopt agreements for the most effective and efficient provision of services,” said regional district board chairman Rob-
ert Hobson. “Our goal has always been, and continues, to ensure the safety and protection of citizen’s right across the region.” In light of the court ruling, the regional district intends to seek payment of the $200 fine levied in November 2008 against a Kelowna dog-owner for violating Section 17.5 of the bylaw. That section requires dog owners to control their animal so that the dog doesn’t, without provocation, aggressively pursue, inflict minor injury, chase, harass or approach a person in an attitude of attack. With the judgment, regional district bylaw enforcement officers will again enforce this section of the bylaw.
‘‘
OUR GOAL HAS ALWAYS BEEN, AND CONTINUES, TO ENSURE THE SAFETY AND PROTECTION OF CITIZEN’S RIGHT ACROSS THE REGION. Robert Hobson
Earlier this year, the CORD argued before a three justice panel of the high court that it has the statutory authority under the Local Government Act, to enter into service agreements with member municipalities for the delivery of bylaw enforcement services including
the dog bylaw. As a result, it argued the bylaw is applicable throughout the regional district of Central Okanagan and in City of Kelowna, along with other member municipalities. The regional district believes the authority for these working relationships between local governments comes from the Local Government Act and is available and applicable to all local governments in British Columbia. The Union of B.C. Municipalities agreed to provide funding assistance for CORD’s appeal process as the ruling had the potential to affect other regional districts and working relations with their member municipalities.

Q.
Are eye exams covered by insurance or B.C. medical?
Children under 19 are covered every year for an eye exam by B.C. medical. Those over 65, approximately half the exam is covered every year. At any age, emergency appointments such as treating “pink eye”, removal of a foreign body, concern about flashes or floaters or any other urgent care need regarding the eyes is completely covered by B.C. medical and often will be seen on a walk in basis the same day. Also at any age, regular monitering of ocular health that may relate to another condition for example diabetes also receives coverage through B.C. medical. Although adults 19-65 are not covered for regular eye exams, many insurance plans such as Pacific Blue Cross or insurance through an employer cover an eye exam at certain intervals as well as part or the entire cost of glasses or contact lenses.

Time to sell… or time to buy…. or both?
Selling and buying a home should be exciting, yet in today’s market the excitement is often diminished by the lack of activity and the time it takes to sell. Sales don’t happen overnight. Buyer’s can be overwhelmed with the number of homes to choose from and concerned with over paying in a down market. Market value is established when a buyer makes an offer and the property sells. In the market place today those homes which have unique value in terms of location or style might sell faster, however price seems to be the one factor that always motivates buyers. If a buyer feels they are getting exceptional value, they will offer on a property. Chances are they will have more than one to choose from. 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!

Q.
Why is Indoor Ventilation so important?
A.
Without proper indoor ventilation not only will unsavory odours build up over time in your home, but also the development of moulds and mildews from excess moisture. Poor ventilation leads to common health related building illnesses that can leave you literally sick and tired.
Make sure the dryer is properly ducted to the exterior, and is not damaged, to reduce condensation in the home from poor ventilation. If your house is blessed with a gas or electric forced air heating/cooling system, take full advantage of it by ensuring the fresh air intake is free of air restrictive debris; that your furnace runs on a timer to ensure fresh air ventilation throughout the house for a minimum of 6 hours a day; and the induct air filter is at least a pleated well-fitting type. There are a range of even better air filters at your local building supplies store depending on your sensitivies (the price increases accordingly). As well, a wall mounted humidistat will tell you what the relative humidity is in your home. If the humidity level is over 55%, then mould growth is possible. Over 65%, mould growth is probable with resulting ill-health effects. Install a humidistat controlled ventilation system to reduce abnormal levels of humidity in the home. This can be wired to a washroom exhaust fan to take advantage of an existing ducted system. Not sure? – do the smell test as you walk into the home from the outside. Proper ventilation will give you a fresh (okay call it healthy) feeling in your home. Inadequate ventilation will leave the house feeling stuffy. For a healthy environment, make sure you are getting sufficient ventilation in your home.

Chantelle Keith Assistant Vitamin Manager at Nature’s Fare
Q: A:
I have noticed a growing number of “gluten free” products available in health food stores. Can you explain why people are becoming more aware of gluten in their foods, and the health concerns behind gluten?
Gluten is a protein substance found in grains, including barley, wheat and rye. The over use of wheat flour and gluten in many foods including gravies, condiments, dressings, and even cosmetics has lead to a growing population of people who are either gluten intolerant or worse, who have developed Celiac disease. For people with gluten intolerance, gluten attacks the small intestines by destroying the villi (finger-like projections on the intestinal surface) and leads to the formation of tiny holes in your intestines. The result is that food particles leak into your bloodstream and your body’s natural defense system sees these particles as “foreign invaders.” This creates two major problems: poor nutrient absorption, and the body seems to attack itself. Symptoms of gluten intolerance range widely, and researchers are finding more links to gluten and chronic illnesses. Symptoms may include leaky gut, skin problems (chronic rashes, eczema, itching, sores, inflammation), allergic reactions of many sorts, bowel problems including cramping and bloating, complications such as autism, low immunity to disease, neurological dysfunction, and headaches. The only true way to heal after realizing the problem is eliminate gluten completely from your diet and include supplements to aid in recovery and repair. Replenish with a daily multi vitamin and mineral, probiotic, digestive enzyme and support products such as IntestiNew. Watch in store for “gluten free” tags in the grocery section to help guide you in proper product selection. Nature’s Fare has a wide variety of gluten-free items to make the transition to living gluten-free easier.

Kelowna Secondary School’s big man is getting his feet wet against some of the best basketball players in the world. Braxston Bunce, a 6-foot-11 inch centre who has completed Grade 11 with the KSS Owls, is now hitting the hard court with the best Under-19 basketball players in Canada. Bunce was one of 12 players chosen to the 2011 Junior Men’s National Basketball Team which is now overseas playing in the first of two international tournaments. Bunce saw time in two of Team Canada’s games on the weekend as it plays in the 2011 International Youth Global Games in Lithuania. “I am very honoured to make this team and represent my country on a global stage,” said Bunce, who is one of the team’s youngest players at just 17-years-old. “It means a lot for me to make a team with guys two years older than me and to wear Canada across my chest.” Team Canada is playing three games at the Youth Global Games prior to the 2011 U-19 World Championships which will begin this Thursday in Latvia. Bunce played just over four minutes in a 76-70 win over Australia on Sunday, scoring two baskets in a winning cause. On Saturday Canada opened the Youth Global Games
Just drafted on Saturday by the New York Rangers, Shane McColgan is already getting a taste of the Big Apple. On Sunday, the Kelowna Rockets’ forward flew to New York where the Rangers will spend the rest of the week evaluating and getting to know their top new prospects. The Rangers chose the 5-foot-9, 165-pound forward from Manhattan Beach, Calif., in the fifth round, 134th overall in Saturday’s NHL entry draft. Minutes after getting off the ice from his first practise with the Rangers Monday, McColgan was beginning to absorb the latest turn of events in his hockey career. “Being on the ice is tough at this time of the year but it’s pretty cool to be here,” said McColgan. “Seeing Mark Messier here, and to know guys like Gretzky and Jagr have worn the Rangers jersey, it’s really an honour to be here. There’s a lot of history here.” McColgan watched the draft on Saturday with his family and friends at his dad’s restaurant in Manhattan Beach. “When we saw my name pop up, we were all pretty excited,” McColgan said. “It’s a moment I’ve waited for for a long time. It was a pretty good day for me.” McColgan, 18, makes up for his relative lack

He led the Rockets in scoring last season with 21 goals and 66 points in 67 games, and was also the club’s top playoff performer with 19 points in 10 games. McColgan once had aspirations of being a first-round NHL pick, but steadily slipped in the rankings as his major junior career progressed. Still, McColgan is satisfied with the path he now finds himself on. “I’ve put that behind me now and I’ve told many people that whether you’re drafted in the first round or the seventh, you still have to prove yourself,” he said. “At the end of the day you still have to make the team and that’s my mindset going forward, to work hard so I can be here one day. I’m excited about it.” McColgan is one of three California-born players who played with the Rockets last season.

Pommier headed to Concordia on football scholarship STAFF REPORTER
Those elusive B.C. and Canadian junior titles yet to be won, Daylon Pommier seriously considered returning for his fifth and final season of football with the Okanagan Sun to take care of some unfinished business. Instead, the 22-yearold Kelowna product has decided to step outside his comfort zone to pursue an education, and chart a new direction in his football career. Pommier has landed a scholarship to play this coming season with Montreal’s University of Concordia Stingers. Former Sun players Max Caron, Paul Spencer and Brendon Urness are all currently members of rthe Stingers, a factor that should make Pommier’s transition to the university

are all leaders, I played with them and they all have a great work ethic,” said Pommier, who was
a starter in the Sun’s defensive secondary the last three seasons. “It’s an advantage having those guys there, they’ve got a good thing going in Montreal, and they can show me the ropes. “Getting an education and playing the highest level of football for this age in Canada…what could be better than that?” Concordia is also where current Sun head coach Jason Casey played his university football, another factor in Pommier’s decision to pursue new opportunities and leave his junior days behind. “He completely supported me in whatever I chose to do and he thought I should do this,” said Pommier. “I learned tremendous amounts from him, how to become a grown man and he helped me with that. He’s an alumni of Concordia
and based on what kind of person (Jason) turned out to be, that’s the kind of example I want to follow.” Yet, as much as any single factor, Pommier said Peter McCall’s dismissal as head coach of the Sun in February ironically turned out to be the push he needed to get on with his life and football career. Pommier played for McCall at Rutland Senior and two more years with the Sun where the two formed a considerable bond. “A lot of the off field stuff, decisons that were made didn’t sit well with me, I’m pretty close to Pete, so it was a good time for me to evaluate my goals,” Pommier said. “In a strange way what happened to Pete helped me make an important decision.

Canadians won the 2000 metre race in a time of 06:26.19. Dutch crews were second (6:31.19) and third (6:35.22) in this final. “It was a great starting point and good to be back racing side by side,” said Frandsen. “We know what we’re going to work
on heading into the World Cup in Lucerne. Frandsen is back competing internationally this summer after taking last year off from the sport, while Calder rowed last season in the men’s eights. “Beijing was our last international race togeth-

by what happened, he helped me again. “Because of his loyalty and commitment, I was able to see the bigger picture. If I stay here and play my fifth year, maybe I never move on. It’s a huge step and should benefit me for years to come.” Pommier has three years of eligibility remaining for university football. He’s expected to play a backup role in the defensive secondary and see some action on special teams in his rookie season. On the subject of his education, Pommier plans on pursuing his history degree while attending Concordia.

As for living in the city of Montreal, Pommier couldn’t be more excited—for one thing, he’s a diehard Canadiens’ fan. “I’ve been cheering for the Habs since I came out of the womb,” he joked. “If I had to pick a place besides Kelowna to live, that would be it. It’s a beautiful city and there’s so much history there. It’s a hard choice to leave so many people, my family and friends here, all those who supported me. But this feels like the right decision.” Pommier will leave for Montreal in the middle of July to begin training for the 2011 CIS season. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Elmore third at Cdn track champs Kelowna distance runner Malindi Elmore can add a medal to her trophy case but she is probably wishing it were a different colour. Elmore placed third in the 1,500 metre final at the Canadian Track and Field Championships in Calgary on the weekend, claiming a medal for the
third straight year at the Canadian championships. But Elmore was hoping to repeat as champion in the 1,500 after winning the event the past two years. Instead Elmore was third, less than a second behind the winner, Sheila Reed of Toronto and just .40 of a seconds out of
second place in what was a tight, three-person race. Elmoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time of 4:17.85 was over eight seconds slower than her fastest time this year and a full 12 seconds over the qualifying time she needs to run to qualify for the World Championships in August. Elmore stays busy this
week as she will compete in the Harry Jerome International Track meet on Friday before running an 800 metre race in Victoria on Sunday. She will then fly to Europe to race more 1,500 metre events as she looks to qualify for the World Championships in South Korea in late August.

Predator celebrates 20 years It’s two decades of golf and counting for Predator Ridge as the golf course will celebrate 20 years in operation on June 29. The resort—located halfway between Kelowna and Vernon—was originally designed by Les Furber as three nine hole courses that were all named after birds of prey. Twenty years ago it opened with two of those nine hole courses: The Osprey and Red Tail which would combine to create the full, 18 hole Predator course. In 2000 the Peregrine nine hole course opened, giving the resort 27 holes to choose from. Just two years ago golf course builder Doug Carrick redesigned the Peregrine nine, adding another nine holes and forming the Ridge course, which opened in the fall of 2010 and was promptly named the best new course in Canada by SCORE Golf Magazine. “The Okanagan has provided us with the ideal landscape to create a world-class resort,” says Rod Cochrane, general manager of Predator Ridge. “We are incredibly proud to have been a part of the community for 20 years and look forward

Twice it has hosted the Skins Game as some of the best golfers in the world set down in the Okanagan. In 2000 Fred Couples, Sergio Garcia, Mike Weir and Phil Michelson played the course while 2008 saw Camilo Villegas, Greg Norman, Fred Couples, Mike Weir and Colin Montgomerie play skins While the two full courses were developing over the past twenty years,

Proper cane usage is important
I
am a people watcher by nature and a physiotherapist by profession, so it’s always quite surprising to see people use their canes, walkers and crutches incorrectly. I realize people often borrow this equipment and do not get proper instruction; nor does the assistive device come with a user manual. Here’s what hand the cane should be held in, how to adjust the equipment to the proper height, and why height and correct use is important. Firstly the cane (this also pertains to the use of a single crutch) should be used on the opposite side from the injury. By placing the cane or crutch on the opposite side you are still able to adjust how much assistance and weight you place through the injured side plus you will be promoting a more natural walking pattern. When we walk, we swing opposite arm and leg together. Thus when using the cane in the opposite hand, we swing the cane forward as the injured side steps forward. This
KEEPING YOU MOVING
Robina Palmer will minimize the tendency to develop a large limp or hobble that usually happens when you have the cane on the same side as the injury and they both advance together. The proper cane height may be lower than you think. To find the correct height, simply hang your arm straight by your side. The top of the cane handle, or grip, should be at the crease in your wrist. This is also the same fit for walkers and the handgrips on crutches. Now, when you hold your cane by your side, you should have a slight bend in your elbow. This correct height will promote a more upright and relaxed body posture. If the cane is too high, it will create a posture where your elbow is bent and your shoul-
der raised on the cane side. With the cane at the proper height, your arm is almost straight by your side. This will allow you to transfer the weight straight down your arm more effectively while walking. Ever try to push up from a chair while keeping the elbows bent? It’s a lot easier if you are able to straighten your arms. Fitting crutches for the correct height is a little more involved, but basically if you have the crutches under your armpits and your arms hanging by your sides (I am assuming you are standing with good posture), the hand grip should fall at the crease in your wrist and the top of the crutch should be at least three finger widths from your armpit. It is important that the crutches do not push up into your armpit while walking (or at any time for that matter) as you have nerves and blood vessels that are easily irritated with prolonged pressure. Avoid the urge to stand and rest by holding yourself up
with the crutches jammed up into your armpit as this could lead to numbness and tingling in the hands or arms. Maintenance of your walker, cane or crutches is equally as important, especially if you have to use it for long periods of time. Replace the rubber tips if the grip at the bottom is wearing thin or uneven. A worn rubber tip is slippery and unsafe. Make sure the handle remains comfortable and if it is padded, that you maintain adequate padding. By changing your cane, walker or crutches to the correct height, hopefully you will notice an improvement in walking style, ease of use, better posture and overall improved assistance and safety. If you’re unsure about your adjustment, ask your physiotherapist for a quick check of your cane, crutches or walker.

Kelowna quartet makes Team B.C. for football Four local players have made the grade to play on Team B.C. for the 2011 Football Canada Cup next month in Lethbridge. Named to the provincial U18 team’s final 40man roster were: receiver Sam Davies and Cole linebacker Mosychuk from KSS; Mt. Boucherie’s Cameron Spence (defen-

BUCKLAND, CAROLE 1942 - 2011 Carole Buckland died peacefully in her home Friday, June 24th surrounded by the family that she nurtured, supported and loved. She is survived by her loving husband of 47 years Don Buckland, her son Dean (Judy) of Calgary and their children Shea and Dawson, her daughter Kim Milford (John) of Calgary and their children Jake and Riley and daughter Karen Garner (Graham) of Calgary and their children Kennedy and Lucy. Carole is also survived by her brother Ken Christian (Brenda) and children Nic, Jon and Taryn, of Kamloops and brother-in-law Frank Buckland of Kelowna and family.

MAGRO, PRIMO PIETRO Primo passed away on Thursday, June 23, 2011 at the age of 86 years. He is survived by his loving family: two sons, Adriano Magro (Diane Pich and son Mckenzie) and Sergio Magro all of Burnaby, BC. Predeceased by his wife Elvira on August 8, 2000. Predeceased by his siblings: Vincenzo Giuseppe, Regina Maria, Angela, Teresina, Vittorio, Pierina, Sante Emilio, Antonio, Secondo Paolo (twin). Primo was born on August 7, 1924 in Basalghelle di Mansue, Treviso, Italy. During WWII, Primo served as an anti-aircraft gunner in the Italian army where he was actively involved in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Battle of the Brenner.â&#x20AC;? In 1944, while positioned in Trento, Primoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s duty was to visually sight and shoot down enemy aircraft in order to protect the bridges over the Adige River. By the end of the war, Primo would survive 6 months of brutal ďŹ ghting and safely return home to his family. In 1956 Primo married Elvira Maria Sandre in Italy. In October of 1958 Primo and Elvira set sail for Canada on board the MV Saturnia. After a long voyage they landed in Halifax at Pier 21.They then travelled by rail across the country, arriving in Prince Rupert, BC where they would later re-marry at an informal ceremony at the Court House. On June 28, 1960 Primo and Elvira became proud parents for the ďŹ rst time with son, Adriano. They would become parents for a second time on August 5, 1965 with son, Sergio. In 1994, Primo and Elvira left Northern BC for the Okanagan. Kelowna would become their new home where they would enjoy life with friends old and new. On August 8, 2000, Elvira Maria Magro quietly passed away after a long and brave battle with breast cancer. She was 66 years old. The Magro family would like to thank our friends and family in Vancouver, Kelowna, Prince Rupert, Toronto, and Italy for your love and support. Prayers will be recited on Monday, June 27th at 7:00 pm at St. Pius X Catholic Church, 1077 Fuller Avenue, Kelowna, BC, where also a Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Tuesday, June 28th at 11:00 am. Interment will follow in the Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, memorial donations may be made to the BC Heart & Stroke Foundation, #4 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1551 Sutherland Ave., Kelowna, BC V1Y 9M9. Condolences may be sent to the family by visitingwww.springďŹ eldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen Canada Day eats Somehow Canada Day calls for simple food that a crowd of people can enjoy, along with the cook, because most of the work for the meal has been done ahead of time. The following meal is complete with a simple salad, made from garden-fresh greens that were grown nearby. With the advent of summer and warmer weather, we tend to think in terms of simple meals to make, and often lighter fare than we needed to comfort us through colder weather. And, inspiration is all around us, in the fresh ingredients available grown in our own gardens and local farmers’ fields. For instance, in June, we are still gorging on fresh asparagus and tender greens, while enjoying the first peas of the season and the first strawberries and raspberries. Remember that bites of fresh fruit take a simple salad to a whole new level, particularly when paired with crumbled goat cheese or some other flavourful cheese, a few crisp nuts or seeds and just a very light vinaigrette dressing. Such a salad can become a complete meal on a warm night, or you can add a fresh biscuit or a cracker to the side of your salad bowl. If you make a little more rice or pasta the night you serve them hot, remember the cold leftovers could serve as the basis for a more substantial salad the next night, with the addition of crisp vegetables and a few flakes of fish, cubes of ham or chicken and a light dressing. And, if you’re concerned about your guests getting too excited to eat your ice cream pie while watching the fireworks, just serve ice cream in a cone for dessert instead. Happy Canada Day.

Canada Day Chicken Served over rice, this dish is a beautiful red and white, like the Canadian flag, so it makes a perfect dinner to celebrate our country’s birthday. It is also an easy casserole dish to serve a group of people, and often we have extra people around the table on the first long weekend of summer. If maintaining the red and white colour isn’t a concern, I would serve this with a rice pilaf that includes a chopped onion and lots of spinach. 6 boneless chicken breasts 2 eggs dry bread crumbs drizzle of oil 1 tbsp. (15 ml) butter 1 onion 12 mushrooms 2 garlic cloves 1 tbsp. (15 ml) fresh basil 2 c. (500 ml) spaghetti sauce 1 c. (250 ml) parmesan cheese If the breasts are large, I would cut them in half first, or you could substitute thighs for
the breasts. Dredge boneless chicken in beaten eggs, then in the dry bread crumbs, and set aside on a rack for a few minutes to set. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frypan over medium-high heat and add the butter to the pan, for flavour. Once melted, brown the chicken pieces quickly in it, then remove to a casserole dish large enough to fit them all in one layer. Meanwhile, chop the onion, slice the mushrooms and mince the garlic and basil. Open a large tin of tomato or spaghetti sauce. Once the chicken has been removed, soften the onion over medium heat in the frypan and add the mushrooms. Saute for a few minutes and add the garlic, basil and tomato sauce. Combine well and heat through. Pour the sauce over the chicken pieces in the casserole and top with grated fresh parmesan cheese. Cook in a 350 F oven for about 45 minutes or until bubbling and crisp on top. Serve over mounds of fluffy rice. Serves 6-8.
Peanut & Chocolate Ice Cream Pie All ages fall for this easy-to-make dessert, which is terrific for summer and can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer.
CRUST: 1/3 c. (75 ml) corn syrup 1/3 c. (75 ml) crunchy peanut butter 3 c. (750 ml) crisp rice cereal
FILLING & TOPPING: 4 c. (1 l) chocolate swirl ice cream 1/3 c. (75 ml) dry roast peanuts 2 tbsp. (30 ml) dark chocolate chips chocolate sauce Prepare ahead by measuring out the corn syrup into a large pot and measuring out the amounts of peanut butter and cereal to have them handy. Lightly spray a deep dish nine-inch pie
pan with oil. It’s important to work quickly once you begin so the crust ingredients can be mixed thoroughly and shaped before they cool. Heat the corn syrup just to bubbling, turn off the heat and mix in the peanut butter. Add the cereal and combine well with the corn syrup mixture. Don’t worry about crushing the cereal. Scrape it into the pie pan and press it firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust. Put it into the freezer for about 10 or 15 minutes to firm up. Meanwhile, remove the ice cream to soften up at room temperature. Spoon softened ice cream into pie crust, then top with peanuts and chocolate chips and return to freezer. Remove from freezer a few minutes before serving. Top each piece with a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Serves 10.

ADULT DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR NEUTERED MALE
Forrest was very scared when he first came to us, but is now starting to come around. We feel that he would do best in a mellow home, with a gentle caring hand and voice where he can bloom. He is a big beautiful black boy with golden eyes. He did come in with other cats, but is not so sure of the ones around him. If you have the ideal home for Forrest please come down to the shelter and spend some time with him. Owner surrender

China is sweet and shy. The Sharpei breed is very independent and reserved, nevertheless they are extremely devoted, loyal and affectionate to their owners. She needs to find her ‘forever home’, with NO CATS, NO DOGS AND NO CHILDREN. Continuous training is advisable, but not repetitive as they become board very easily. If you have the ideal home for China please speak with our kennel staff to learn more about her story.

SENIOR BORDER COLLIE X SPAYED FEMALE
CABELLA ID# 220675
Cabella is a gorgeous hound mix. She needs an experienced owner that understands high energy because she is easily excited. Cabella will be fine around submissive or much larger dogs, she is NOT compatible with cats. Her obedience has come a long way, she will now walk on leash perfectly, when off leash she will stay close and look to her guardian for quidance. Her new owners must provide her with lots of exercise and outings, and work with her anxiety when left alone. If you have the ideal environment for Cabella, please come down and meet her. She deserves a second chance and a ‘forever home’.

Midnight came in with other cats and is quite the little sweetheart. She is a bit timid at the moment, but loves affection and will settle down nicely given the right environment. She would make a wonderful friend for someone looking for a laid-back older companion to relax with. She is very affectionate when she feels safe and secure. If you would like to give this older gal a second chance at happiness and a forever home, come & meet her. Owner surrender
