Firefighter faces charges ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

An 18-month investigation into alleged financial improprieties at a Vernon volunteer fire hall has resulted in charges. Police began looking into a matter at the BX-Swan Lake Fire Hall in January of 2011 after questions from the fire department arose over its account. Charges were forwarded to Crown for approval in May. “The money that is in question belongs to the volunteer firemen from the BX-Swan Lake fire hall, and not public funds,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. Representatives from the fire hall declined to comment as the matter is now before the courts. Layne Richard Benner, 39, of Vernon, a former member of the BX-Swan Lake fire department, has been charged with fraud and theft over $5,000. Benner is to make his first court appearance on Aug. 2.

Getting set for FUNtastic JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

An event that will draw more than 4,500 people to town has another 450 volunteers pitching in to pull it all together. The Funtastic slo-pitch tournament and music festival (plus lawn bowling) officially swings into action today in Vernon, Armstrong and Enderby. “It’s the biggest one in Canada,” said Funtastic president Brett Kirkpatrick. Volunteers have been tirelessly working since Monday to put all the pieces in place, and their efforts will continue through to Monday when the event wraps up, and even after for clean-up. “Everybody up here that does it, they enjoy it,” said Will Alborough, volunteering for his third straight year, this time with his dad. “A lot of them have been doing it for 16, 17 years.” They are ambassadors not just for Funtastic, but for the community, says Kirkpatrick. “I get a lot of people come up to me, thanking us for everything,” he said, adding that it wouldn’t be possible without the

volunteers. Between putting up fences and grading diamonds to selling beverage tickets and doing sound checks behind stage, they make it happen. “We are a go,” said Kirkpatrick, adding that despite recent rain, fields are drying up nicely for game time. Games take place at fields throughout the communities, with the first pitch being tossed at 5:15 p.m. tonight and finals wrapping up Monday. But the centre of all the action is up at the DND grounds, where the diamonds will be in full swing and the beverage gardens will be packed with fun. The gardens, which open at noon today and 11 a.m. the rest of the weekend, feature a rockin’ lineup of bands and entertainment. “We have a very good lineup this year and a lot of people are excited about it,” said Kirkpatrick, noting the gardens will be open until 2 a.m. every night, 5 p.m. Monday, and free shuttle buses are provided. Tonight’s two opening acts, Headpins and Orio with Katrina Lawrence, get the party started at 6 p.m. before Kenny Shields and

Streetheart take the stage. Lou Gramm of Foreigner is all set for Saturday, following a trio of openers: Mace, Lift Off and The Dirt. Canada Day openers are We Are Live and Aerosmith Rocks, then fireworks are set off at 10:15 p.m., followed by Trooper. “We can fit 6,000 people up there,” said Kirkpatrick, adding that the event is selling well, but isn’t sold out, yet. On top of all the locals and tourists drawn in solely for the entertainment, the event hosts 300 teams (representing 4,500 ball players plus another 600 to 1,000 spouses and kids). Of those, an estimated 80 per cent are from out of town. “A lot of people from Alberta come to play, it’s a destination and often they’ll stay a few extra days and turn it into a holiday. Some have come for 20 years and they make it a reunion. “The impact is $4.4 million for the weekend and then we get to donate back on top of it,” said Kirkpatrick, as the Funtastic Society raises in excess of $125,000 annually for local sports groups and projects.

Robbery nets two years in jail ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

A woman who threatened to rob a Vernon Subway restaurant with a needle will be going to a federal penitentiary. Provincial court judge Mayland McKimm sentenced Amy Rebecca Barbara Young, 27, to two years in jail after she pleaded guilty to robbery in connection with an incident at the Fruit Union Plaza on May 23 at 2 a.m. She was also placed on two years probation after she serves her term. Young held up the restaurant with a needle that she indicated was infected with either HIV or Hepatitis C. She pushed a clerk to the ground and made off with approximately $90. The sentence to a federal jail, said McKimm, is to help Young get treatment through better programs for her drug problem. “This file, like many others, is the consequence of drug addiction which has spiralled out of control,” said McKimm in delivering his verdict. Young also pleaded guilty to a prior charge of mischief. McKimm gave her credit for 30 days served in custody on the charge, and sentenced her to one day in jail.

News Guilty pleas entered in contamination case ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Fines were levied in Vernon Provincial Court Wednesday over a Coldstream water contamination case. The District of Coldstream, Pan-ORamic Farms, and Pan-O-Ramicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thenowner, Ernest Rod Palfrey, were each fined for their roles by Judge Mayland McKimm after pleading guilty in the contamination of the Antwerp Springs water source in January 2010. Coldstream pleaded guilty to one count of failing to provide potable water. McKimm fined the district $16,000, along with a victim fine surcharge of $2,400, and gave the district 30 days to pay up. Palfrey and Pan-O-Ramic Farms each pleaded guilty to one count of introducing waste into the environment causing pollution. They were each fined $1,000 and ordered to make $7,000 contributions to the Heritage Conservation Trust Fund, an organization that, according to its website, â&#x20AC;&#x153;invests in projects that maintain and enhance the health and biological diversity of B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fish, wildlife, and habitats so that people can use, enjoy, and benefit from these resources.â&#x20AC;? Palfrey and Pan-O-Ramic Farms have a year to pay their fines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fine may seem modest, but at the end of the day, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reflection that as populations in rural areas close to urban areas begin to expand outwards, and weather becomes more and more unique and unreliable, farmers are going to have to pay closer attention to the consequences of their farm practices,â&#x20AC;? said McKimm. McKimm accepted as fact from Crown Joel Gold, Palfrey lawyer Dave Schaefer and Coldstream lawyer Bruce Elwood, that extraordinary events and a series of failures conspired to cause the contamination on Jan. 13, 2010. Palfrey ran Pan-O-Ramic Farms which was situated up slope from a well operated by the District of Coldstream and owned by the Regional District of North Okanagan. Palfrey instructed an employee to distribute waste from his dairy farm onto his fields in early January 2010. Manure was spread onto snow and frozen ground. On Jan. 13, 2010, a heavy rainfall landed on top of substantial snowpack, causing

the snow to melt rapidly, and the water landing on the snowpack flushed the effluent into a culvert which then went to various drains and ultimately onto a field near four separate wells operated by the District of Coldstream to supply potable water to its residents. McKimm said it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;highly unlikely and barely foreseeableâ&#x20AC;? that the water course the effluent took would arrive at the well site â&#x20AC;&#x153;But in any event it did, and a series of other failures took place,â&#x20AC;? said McKimm, including a failure of the runoff systems to run that effluent into coldstream creek as opposed to the aquifer. Further complicating matters were the well systems operated by Coldstream were, said McKimm, â&#x20AC;&#x153;regrettably overwhelmed by the sheer mass of waste coming from not only from Mr. Palfreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm, but other farms in the area which would have run down into same aquifer.â&#x20AC;? McKimm mentioned in passing sentence that the District of Coldstream has â&#x20AC;&#x153;never provided an explanation to this court as to how the failure took place.â&#x20AC;? Palfrey declined comment after the proceedings but his lawyer, Schaefer, said his client started working right away to remediate the situation when he found out about the contamination, and worked directly with Ministry of Environment recommendations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Palfrey greatly regrets the contamination of the well and the inconvenience for the affected people in Lavington and Coldstream,â&#x20AC;? said Schaefer. About 3,500 people were notified in January 2010 that the Antwerp Springs well source had been contaminated, and that they must not drink the water until bacteriological tests are clean. In a press release issued by the district, it believes that it acted with due diligence in operating the well, and that extraordinary external circumstances interfered with the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to provide potable water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is important that the public know that Coldstream council strongly believe that we would have been completely successful in defending ourselves on all four of the charges against the district,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Jim Garlick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, proving our case in a lengthy and complex trial could have cost substantially more. Coldstream council therefore did not believe that defending this charge

Guilty pleas in the matter were entered Wednesday. in court would be a prudent use of taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dollars.â&#x20AC;? Three other charges against the district were stayed. The wells have since been decommissioned. Palfrey has since sold Pan-O-Ramic Farms to a cherry orchardist and ceased dairy farm operations. The Regional District of North Okanagan is facing four charges relating to the contamination, and is slated to begin its trial on the matter in provincial court in January 2013.

STR WBERRIES! Teachers voting on deal U-Pick or Ready Picked RICHARD ROLKE

Morning Star Staff

Even if teachers accept a new contract, it doesn’t necessarily mean extra-curricular activities will resume in the fall. Teachers are voting on a tentative agreement with the employer today, but there is nothing that forces teachers to resume duties with sports teams or clubs because they are voluntary. “A lot of teachers are feeling they don’t have the respect they deserve and will withhold from volunteering,” said Bruce Cummings, Vernon Teachers Association president. “But some things will pick up again.” The union points out that it’s always been up to individual teachers to decide if they participate in extra-curricular activities. “If it were me, I’d be questioning how much time I’d be vol-

unteering because of a district and ministry that doesn’t support teachers and doesn’t provide resources to support teachers,” said Lynda Bennett, North Okanagan-Shuswap Teachers Association president. Teachers withdrew from extra-curricular activities in March after government legislation forced an end to a labour dispute that had started last fall. Bill Turanski, Vernon School District chairperson, is reluctant to speculate on how teachers may handle sports and clubs. “Teachers always have the best interest of students in mind and they will do whatever they believe is necessary,” he said. “I hope things will get back to normal.” The B.C. Teachers Federation is asking its members to ratify the tentative agreement,

which runs until June 30, 2013. “We did want a negotiated settlement, which this is,” said Bennett. “The other side, though, is if we don’t accept it, the government will likely legislate a contract and take huge chunks out of the agreement.” Cummings says he can support the terms of the contract. “It doesn’t address issues like salary, class size and composition. But it potentially gives us a year to come off a confrontational approach,” he said of further discussions that are expected. “Our collective agreement won’t be stripped of a lot of provisions which is what we faced (under a legislated resolution).” The results of the BCTF vote will be released late today. “We’re certainly hopeful the teachers will

ratify the agreement,” said Turanski. “But we have to keep in mind that a lot of issues are not resolved and they still have to deal with them.” The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, which represents the province’s school districts, will vote next week.

Patrick Nicol opposed the lift station. “Some neighbours opposed the process and I thought they made some points that another location could be considered,” he said. “My vote was to give their concerns a little more consideration than they received.”

Additional money for tourism marketing RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Increased money will be spent on encouraging tourists to spend time in Vernon. The city will direct $71,064 in surplus hotel room tax funds towards spring and fall marketing projects. “It’s needed given the circumstances out there,” said Coun. Patrick Nicol referring to the impact constant rain has been having on tourism businesses. Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe wants assurances there’s a plan for anticipated room tax surpluses in the 2013 budget. “There’s merit to doing these initiatives when people are still in the decision-making phase of holidays, which is in the spring and not in the summer,” she said. City plugs into grant Vernon wants to be prepared for more electric cars taking to local roads. The city is seeking an $8,000 provincial grant for an electric vehicle charging station. If approved, the city would contribute $3,300 to the project. While support for the grant application was unanimous, Coun. Bob Spiers has some questions.

“It’s needed given the circumstances.” — Patrick Nicol “It sounds like a great thing we’re doing for two or three electric cars and hybrids. Why doesn’t a gas station jump in and do it if this is such a great thing?” he said. Predator change proposed There may eventually be more people living at Predator Ridge. Vernon council supports an application to amend the definition for the cottage tourist use so up to 30 per cent of the cottages in a strata development at Predator can be permanent residences. Presently, the owner can only live on site for 180 days with the rest of the time designated for tourist accommodations. City staff has endorsed the proposal because it would increase the population base at Predator. “It adds more vitality and security and supports local businesses,” said Kim Flick, community development manager. If the change is approved, 70 per cent of the cottages would remain primarily for tourist accommodations.

impact on residents in Cherryville and rural Lumby. “This will keep people a lot closer,” said Eugene Foisy, Cherryville director. The issue of seniors care first arose in about 1986 and it has been on Lumby’s agenda ever since. “This has been a long time coming,” said Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA and a Lumby resident. “A lot of people have put a lot of effort into it.” The 46 beds will be funded by the Interior Health Authority and Monashee Mews will be operated by inSite Housing, Hospitality

and Health Services. “We’re not building an institution, we’re building a home,” said Carole Holmes, inSite president. The $10-million facility will be for complex care, with 10 beds designated for people with head injuries. There is no guarantee all of the beds will be for Lumby area residents. “People here will get preference,” said Foster, adding, though, that IHA must look at broad regional needs. “There won’t be beds empty here and if someone in Coldstream needs a bed, there’s a bed (if one is available).”

RICHARD ROLKE/MORNING STAR

Crews work on the Monashee Mews residential care facility on Norris Avenue in Lumby Tuesday.

Sun sends rays of cautious optimism Morning Star Staff

With recent reports that water levels in the Shuswap River have crested and are beginning to recede, North Okanagan Emergency Management officials are cautiously optimistic the worst is over. “We are not recommending that you start to remove sand bags from your property just yet, as the water levels remain high along the Shuswap

River,” said Gord Molendyk, spokesperson. “There is still a chance we could get a few heavy showers up against the mountains that could cause some of the streams to rise again. We are asking home owners who live along the creeks, and rivers to still continue to monitor them closely for the next few weeks as the water tables are high and the ground is saturated.”

A giant crane has lifted optimism to new heights in Lumby. Monashee Mews, a 46-bed residential care facility, is rapidly taking shape on Norris Avenue, and there is the hope that it will not only benefit seniors and their families but the community at large. “There’s already people looking to buy homes up on the hill because of it, and families that are applying for jobs here are starting to shop around the village office to see what kind of facilities and schools we have,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. For years, seniors not able to live at home and requiring care have had to leave Lumby. That situation will change when the Mews opens next spring. “Families will be able to stay together,” said Acton. “I’ve witnessed heart-breaking stories and people are lonely and sad because they are separated from their families.” The new facility will also have a positive

Families first

“

We overinvest in remedial action down the line when kids reach their teen years and underinvest in their early years when their behaviour, their comportment, their learning can really be set for the rest of their lives,” Nigel Fisher, head of UNICEF Canada, commenting on a 2008 UNICEF report ranking Canada last in spending on early learning of 25 countries in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. Cara Brady Disheartening news, surely, for parents, educators, anyone who works in childcare and anyone who cares about children, to know that your governments don’t value what you are doing. The Innocenti Research Centre to Support UNICEF Advocacy for Children, was not much more reassuring. It’s Report Card 2007 ranked Canada 12th overall in a survey of 21 countries, mostly European, but including the United States. Not very reassuring for our young people, their parents, and all Canadians. The report said, “The true measure of a nation’s standing is how well it attends to its children — their health and safety, their material security, their education and socialization, and their sense of being loved, valued and included in the families and societies into which they are born.” Canada has no standard government policies at any level for services, support and education for children and their parents. Parents raising young children now have less time at home, may work harder to keep up their income or have less income, and have increasing housing and other costs. Many organizations and individuals develop programs, scrounge for grants to keep going, fundraise, and often see good results in their own sector. Still, co-ordinated, well-thought-out and sustainable policies are lacking. Political leaders do not seem to consider this an important issue and seem eager to put

AT RANDOM

off the entire responsibility for child care to anyone but themselves. The Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP) is a focused project to address family issues and offer realistic ways to implement plans. The partnership, which is based at the University of British Columbia, is headed by Dr. Paul Kershaw, HELP scholar, Social Care, Citizenship & the Determinants of Health, and Lynell Anderson, CGA and senior researcher. They have studied how other countries are able to provide excellent support for families in ways that use tax money effectively and contribute to the good of everyone in society. The practical solution proposed by HELP is A New Deal for Families. It is centred on three core policy changes in a fact sheet published in 2011. 1. New Mom and new Dad benefits will ensure that all parents, including the selfemployed, have the time and resources to be at home with their newborns, at least until the children are 18-months-old. 2. Thereafter, $10 a day child care services will ensure that parents can afford enough employment time to manage the rising cost of housing and stalled household incomes. 3. These will be supported by flex-time for employees and employers to remedy workplace standards that too often make it standard practice to ignore the family. The fact sheet goes on to explain how these changes will work. The new parents’ benefit would be available to all households, meaning an after-tax income increase for parents who currently do not qualify for leave. The minimum benefit would be $440 weekly, enough to eradicate child and family poverty for this age group. Child care fees would be reduced to $10 per day (full-time) and $7 per day (part-time), making it free for families earning less than $40,000 per year. Quality services would be ensured by providing funding and training for caregivers who will be paid pay equity wages. Wouldn’t it be good to see this, or something like this, happen?

Like anything, there’s always someone who will complain. The odd grumble about the loud music, the driver who loses their patience with all the tourists in town or the bad apple of the bunch that makes an irresponsible decision. Despite the few who knock it, Funtastic is a 28-year-long tradition that has, for the most part, been welcomed with open arms by our communities. It shows in the 450 volunteers who spend hours (more than many of us do in our paying jobs) making the slo-pitch tournament and music festival a success. They are there at 5 a.m., cleaning up the cups and mess left behind from an evening of entertainment. They are there at 6 a.m. maintaining the fields so the players can do what they do best. They continue into the wee hours of the next morning. And virtually every one of them does it with a smile. The North Okanagan knows how to pitch in. Even those who aren’t physically supporting Funtastic are doing so in spirit. And how can you not embrace something that benefits the region to the tune of $4.4 million? That’s the impact of the event which hosts 300 teams, most from out of town, who stay at our hotels and campgrounds, eat in our restaurants, shop in our malls and more. Then to top it all off, the Funtastic Sports Society takes the proceeds from the event and puts it right back in the community. So even if you’re not necessarily a fan of Funtastic, just remember, in the words of Trooper: We’re here for a good time, not a long time. So have a good time!

Definition is the same

an Tribes, in his letter concerning conservatism and liberalism, presents some interesting but confusing arguments. He attempts to show how the definitions have changed over the decades of Canadian politics. The problem with his argument is confusing small ‘l’ liberal with people who label themselves Liberal for their party alignment, and small ‘c’ conservative with people who label themselves Conservative in their party alignment. The definition of liberal has not changed: generous, open-handed. The definition of conservative has not changed: to conserve, averse to change. One person may carry both these qualities depending on the situation or context within their lives. On the other hand, capital ‘L’ Liberals and capital ‘C’ Conservatives are like any other political party able and willing to change definitions as it suits their electoral chances. During any given epoch, both Conservatives and TAX CYCLISTS Bicycles are more and more like cars nowadays and should be treated as such. With the larger and larger groups of cyclists deciding to venture together out on to the highways, perhaps it's time registration and insurance was considered for them. If they want to take up the driving lanes, then there should be a identifiable plate on them in case of incidents, etc. Recently on a trip to Falkland, I encountered a group of riders. I do not know the amount, but they stretched from Armstrong to Salmon River Road, making the entire section virtually not drivable by motor vehicles, there had to be close to 200 or more cyclists. Perhaps it's time for them to contribute to road tax to help maintain the roads and build safe bicycle lanes for all. I myself do a very large amount of driving and purchase a large monthly

Liberals have chosen free trade - or not. The current B.C. Liberal party is far from liberal and is actually made up of a coalition of former Socreds (conservatives all) and Conservative Party members, with many of the latter now jumping ship. In any country, once elected, the prime focus of capital ‘L’ or ‘C’ parties is to remain in power. Both sides use platitudes and catchy phrases to work the voters. As Brian Mulroney once said, “In politics… you need two things: friends, but above all an enemy.” An enemy is needed to focus the fear and anger of the voter towards an outside source, to create unity within. Friends in the political sense usually refers to corporations supplying money to the party, be it Liberal or Conservative. The comparison to the U.S. Republican Party is fair. Whether they are liberal or conservative, it is the methodology of power being used that makes the comparison valid. This includes the fear facamount of fuel helping in fuel tax to maintain the highways and think it's only right to share the maintenance burden with all users. I am sure as an avid rider, you should be willing to help keep the roads a safer place by all. If a cyclist should by chance, run into a pedestrian at a 30 kilometresper-hour speed, it would create injuries for possibly the rider and walker. So insurance makes complete sense, does it not? Just an idea to help finance the new bike lanes requested and needed by all. Keith Williment OPEN MORE DOORS I read the article by Christine regarding the lack of support she is receiving from our government. It appears our government is more concerned with giving away money to other countries to further their status and also promote trade, rather than look after our own.

EFLECTIONS

tor (terror, race - in the form of immigration, crime), the platitudes and homilies that sound good but mean little (family values - well sure we all have them, what exactly does it mean, how is it put into practice?) and the cozying up to large corporations for money and power. Some of Tribes' modern ‘conservative’ ideals are interesting. Equality before the law is a great idea and a nice platitude, but how is it applied. How do the native people see this process working? How do women see this process working? How do the unemployed, poor and homeless see this working? I am aware of a few families that have children who are carrying the brunt of this weight but all our government can do is increase taxes, shut down facilities or reduce staff and like I stated, give money away. It sure makes Canada look good, especially to the country receiving this money. But I ask, what about the people who live here in Canada? In her case, what is she supposed to do? She has been doing this job for years and now someone figures they can make a buck by having to make it mandatory to have a license to do this job. These people giving the course probably don't have the hands-on, experience she has, but have made the job for themselves. In the case of Christine, since she has documented proof of the time in the trade. There is a term — grandfather clause — which means she should be eligible for the status of being proficient in the trade or as she stated regarding the paper

Lower taxes and tariffs sound nice, but what does it mean? In application it means that corporations get a free ride for harvesting wealth (not creating it as they would have you believe) and the rest of us, although we have lower taxes, have rising user fees as services are sourced out or privatized, in reality increasing the relative amounts we pay for services (just wait until Vernon privatizes its water utilities and see what will happen to rates, bad enough as they are now for the quality delivered). Tribes indicates conservatives want non-interference in the lives of citizenry. Yes, women should

be able to choose whether they want birth control or not, or have access to abortions if required, and not have men decide that. People should be allowed to marry their significant others, male or female, and be left alone by the politicians - and others - to live together in peace. The argument for zero-tolerance of misconduct is fine but consider: Bev Odas’ recurring over-budget extras; Peter Mackay’s helicopter rides; the robo-calling scandal; the in-and-out party financing where party funds were transferred around; the $1 billion for the G-20 summit........ All of these make zero-tolerance an ironically laughable non-starter for Conservatives. As always, liberal and conservative are not one and the same with Liberal and Conservative. The latter two are political labels, the former two indicate a characteristic of human nature regardless of labels. Jim Miles

work, have someone help her and explain and ask questions so she can understand and reply, not have it written out so it takes a lawyer to understand it. All this could be done, one-onone. Like what she says, "So where am I and people like me supposed to go from here?" Wake up government, charity begins at home. Look after us the citizens of Canada and don't forget we made this country. The workers, not the politicians made it. They were elected to help us and govern, not give it all away. I hope this letter will help Christine and others in her position to receive the help they deserve and need. Wake up government and look after us, the people. We elected you to do this job, so do it. I hope this letter will help her out and other pensioners and maybe get some government people to do something. Stop giving our money away. Charity begins at home. Bill Thorick

Minister unavailable to discuss meat rules RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Lobbying for farm-

gate meat processing has been stalled in the North Okanagan.

Regional District of North Okanagan directors hoped to talk to

off

CHRISTINA

Health Minister Michael de Jong in Kelowna Tuesday to discuss pro-

vincial meat regulations but de Jong’s schedule did not allow for a

meeting. “I will contact the minister and set some-

thing up as soon as I can,” said Eric Foster, Ve r n o n - M o n a s h e e MLA. RDNO wants the Ministry of Health and the Interior Health Authority to begin issuing class D and E meat inspection licences in the North Okanagan. A class D licence allows for the on-farm slaughter of up to 25 animal units with one animal unit equaling 1,000 pounds liveweight. That would mean 25 cows, 2,500 chickens, 40 pigs and 300 lambs. A class E licence allows for the slaughter of up to 10 animal units. There has been previous suggestions that such licenses could be issued to North Okanagan farmers but that has never occurred. Regional district officials claim the number of local producers has gone from 1,200 to 300 since the provincial regulations came into effect in 2007. Foster says he understands the concerns of the local politicians and farmers. “I was involved in this issue before I became MLA and I championed the cause,” said the former Lumby mayor and RDNO chairperson. “We have to do something for smaller operations.” Foster would not speculate on why the government has been reluctant to issue class D and E licenses in the North Okanagan. “I can’t answer that. I’m trying to get an answer to that myself,” he said.

Unit ready for the summer JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

A summer safety presence has already made a profound impact in Vernon. Along with working with various community groups, including connecting supports with individuals on the street, the team removes drug paraphernalia around town. Just in the period of June 1 to 15, the team collected 76 discarded needles, came into contact with 1,261 people, removed 330 crack bags and noted 74 incidents of new taggings or unwanted graffiti. The “motherlode” of crack bags is significant since the team collected 444 during the entire program last year. “The Safety Patrol program was launched in 2001 in response to the perception that there was a high rate of crime or lack of safety within the community,” said Rachael Zubick, Community Policing Unit co-ordinator. “Since that time we’ve developed quite a presence within the community, acting as the eyes and ears of the RCMP.” The team’s efforts will continue throughout the summer with three members – the fourth recently departed to the RCMP depot in Regina. First-year safety patrol member Rachel Wolsey joined the team as an avenue of experience as she pursues a

career in criminology, as well as a way to be involved in her hometown. “I’m looking forward to working with different kinds of people,” said 20-year-old Wolsey. Armstrong’s Drayson Netzel-Wood is also embarking on his first year in the program. “I’m hoping for insight into the minds of people who I would normally not associate with,” said 20-year-old Netzel-Wood. It is also 21-yearold Kyle Camalush’s inaugural year and he is also looking forward to the experience which will aid in his future career. “I’m looking to get into the RCMP.” Vernon cadet Allison Stahl, who recently left to depot in the midst of her second year on the safety patrol, offers the team this advice: “Be safe out there.”

Tourney raises $20,000 Morning Star Staff

A golf tournament has teed up some major funds for local Special Olympics. The final numbers are being tallied, but it’s expected the annual Special Olympics Charity Golf Spectacular and Silent Auction raised between $20,000 and $25,000 for Vernon Special Olympics. The two-day event featured a co-ed Texas scramble at the Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club’s executive nine-hole course. It also featured some very wet conditions. “The event was held under very trying circumstances, particularly Saturday, where we didn’t have just a little or light rain, we had a torrential downpour,” said golf spectacular organizer John Topping. “It was hard on the volunteers and hard on the golfers, but even after all the wetness, everyone was in great spirits.” Major winners at the golf tournament included: Friday, June 22: Low Score of the Day – City of Vernon; Most Fun Team (Hidden Score) – The Who; Saturday, June 23: Low Score of the Day – Blast from the Past; Most Fun Team (Hidden Score) Kamloops Coyotes; Costume Team Winner – Wicked: Costume Team runner-up – Stacey 1; Long Drive Contest Friday: Men – Wayne Lippert; Ladies – Kyla MacPhail Long Drive Contest Saturday, June 23; Men – Ian Hesseleen; Ladies – Heather Hornell; Hole-in-One – Closest to the pin – Chandra Hamilton, Winner of City Furniture Bar Fridge.

Until July 12, people can buy a pre-filled bag of food items at Save On Foods, either Vernon Safeway or Superstore and drop the bag off at the Village Green Centre display in the centre court. People can also vote for their favourite grocery store display at the centre and enter to win a $50 a week Village Green Centre gift card. The participating malls will compete for funds raised and pounds of food collected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The winners will get one of five $10,000 grants to go to their partner food banks. This is an exciting project and the stores have done a great job with their displays,â&#x20AC;? said Kelly Kedrosky, marketing director, Village Green Centre. People are also encouraged to support the food bank by entering the online contest for a chance to win free groceries for a year, a $3,000 value, at http://villagegreencentre.com/.

SportsFit tests students CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff

Everyone passes the SportFit Canada test and they get suggestions for three summer sports and three winter sports they might be good at. The students at Kidston Elementary took part in the test and they’re looking forward to finding out the sports they should try. “I hope it’s something in gymnastics. I love gymnastics so I hope it’s something in that line,” said Emma Johnston, Grade 6. She and Chelsea Rooseboom, Grade 6, were also helping out with the recording of results for the tests. “I think mine will be soccer. I play soccer and I’m going to play rep soccer next year,” said Rooseboom. “I think this is definitely a really good program and it’s interesting to see everyone’s strengths and weaknesses and then we’ll find what we can all do.” SportFit Vernon is a program of Pacific Sport Okanagan, a society which is dedicated to the development of all areas of sports for youth, coaches and organizations. “We work with physical literacy, the fundamental skills that are used to participate in all sports and help youth learn confidence and safety so they will be more comfortable playing a sport and staying active for their entire lives,” said Shannon Smart, sport program leader for Pacific Sport Okanagan. The Vernon resident, whose sport is soccer, has a degree in kinesiology from the University of Calgary and experience working with minor soccer in Calgary. The SportFit testing includes eight stations which measure a variety of things like endurance, flexibil-

ity, speed and agility. “I give each physical education teacher a summary of how each class does to help with planning,” said Smart. She also works with coaching workshops, sportspecific workshops and topics like nutrition, mental preparedness and injury prevention. The Ignite program, new to Vernon, is a multisport program focussing on strength, conditioning, gymnastics and track and field to prepare for a variety of sports. These are available to the public and sports organizations. Explore Sports is a summer camp offered through the Vernon Recreation Complex. It lets participants try eight to 10 sports to see which one is for them. “Young people need to try new things, feel comfortable and build confidence. Someone who is not so good at the 30-metre sprint may be good at a sport that requires more strength or flexibility,” said Smart. “We bring in coaches from local sports organizations so they can see what’s available “ It’s good to see young people try things and find a sport they love.” Kidston teacher Lisa Vranesic appreciated the chance for her students to take part in SportFit. “It’s an excellent opportunity for them to practise skills and see how physically fit they are. It’s great to have members of the sports community come into the schools and get the kids interested in more sports,” she said. For more information about Pacific Sport Okanagan programs, contact Smart at 250-3086306.

Goodchild magic for Monashee Morning Star Staff

Rodney Goodchild was in a giving mood Wednesday night as Monashee Surveying stopped the Davidson & Co. Dynamite 3-1 in North Okanagan Soccer League play at Marshall Field #4. Some magical wizardry by the Irishman set up all three goals as the Surveyors improved to 4-2-3, good for sole possession of fourth spot. The Nitros dipped to 2-6-2. Goodchild sent rookie superstar Daniel Lutsenko on a run though two defenders, only to be denied on a great save by Davidson keeper Ean Ross. Cam Clary, returning from suspension, buried the rebound. Goodchild, the Okanagan Spirits Man of the Match, then dribbled into the 18-yard box and fed Clary, who then calmly slotted it home. On the third Monashee tally, Goodchild cracked a shot that bounced off a defender and landed on the foot of Lutsenko, who nailed it home. Davidson answered with a great strike by Patrick Schindler off a corner kick. Matt McKeown displayed strong but calm play on the Monashee defence. In tradition of Monashee soccer, the Surveyors used a few stand-in keepers. After a mini-break due to a

weather-cancelled game, the Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels FC brushed off the rust and grounded Concept Physio 4-0 at Marshall #2. With the wind against the Camels in the first half, solid defending was required, with Keefery Joyce and Damian Adams making it difficult in the air as well as with solid tackling. New recruit Shaun Campbell, replacing his injured brother in goal, had little to do thanks to the Camels’ superb defensive effort. Nick Pantaleo roamed the midfield breaking up Concept’s play on many occasions. Midway through the half, Fabrice Fanfani sent a hard corner in to the front post and youngster Rudi Goldnik flicked the ball near post, bulging the net. Concept stepped up the play but there was little in the way of chances. Concept had a few breaks in the second half but Campbell came out and snuffed them out diving to gather the ball. The slick-passing Camels (4-32) scored another as Khiran O’Neill tipped a through ball from Nathan Whitling past keeper Riley Spraggs and it lazily rolled over the line. Derek Huisken, playing solid at right fullback as usual, started a move from the back which resulted

The Camels polished things off with a cracker – Adams fed the

open Whitling just outside the box and he drilled a swerving ball top left corner that no goalkeeper in this hemisphere could have handled. Turn-Key Controls rallied to gain a 3-3 draw with Eagle Homes Nation of Domination in a third-

place showdown at Marshall #1. Despite controlling possession and play in the early going, TurnKey quickly fell behind 2-0 off a quick counterattack from Eagle Homes, followed by a goal on a penalty shot. Turn-Key continued to mount chances but were held off until a well-placed strike from Nolan’s Pharmasave Man of the Match Marco Arnold sailed over the keeper’s head into the net. Turn-Key gave up a costly goal seconds before the half off another counterattack. Down two goals, the Controls squad mounted a determined comeback in the second half, and were finally rewarded when a Preston Tucker cross found the foot of Taylor Horsting inside the box. Horsting volleyed the ball past the keeper. With under 10 minutes remaining, a wonderfully-placed cross by Evan Moore found the head of Nathan Tucker, who scored for the second week in a row since being moved up to a striker position. Both sides traded chances in the final minutes, and remain tied in third place at 5-3-1. The game between the Revelstoke Stallions and North Enderby Timber was postponed due to weather.

Greene garners diamond award KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

Bill Greene went to Whistler just hoping to propose a few resolutions on behalf of the North Okanagan Minor Hockey Association. The 56-year-old was flabbergasted when his name was announced as winner of the prestigious Diamond Stick award at the 93rd B.C. Hockey annual general meeting last Saturday at the — Bill Hilton Whistler. “I was really surprised,” said Greene, past president of the Armstrong-Enderby association. “It blew my socks off. They were giving out all these awards and we hadn’t eaten yet. I’m

going, ‘Can we eat already’ and they call my name. All of a sudden, I’m not hungry any longer.” It is the first time a person not on the B.C. Hockey board has won the Diamond Stick, and the first time since 2007 the award has been presented. “This year’s recipient is an individual whose hockey journey began over 33 years ago,” said outgoing B.C. Hockey president Shannon Greene Bell. “He has selflessly given his time, his utmost passion and complete dedication to kids in hockey. He has no personal agenda, has not tried to advance his children or himself. He has simply been committed to providing kids

“It’s real special to be included in a group of great men like them.”

with the best experience and opportunities in hockey that he can.” Greene, a father of five and grandfather of nine, helped Dick Robinson found the Junior B North Okanagan Kings, who won the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League title in 1993. Greene was president and trainer of the championship team. He also helped Armstrong get a KIJHL franchise again a few years ago (Knights). “It’s pretty high end to have my name up there with Ernie Gare Sr., Frank Spring, Art Fisher and Bruce Allison,” said Greene. “It’s real special to be included in a group of great men like them.” Bell said Greene yearly proposes changes to regulations as they relate primarily to residency and competition.

Sports Greene ‘ahead of his time’ Continued from A21 He always espoused his views on how, in the best interests of the kids, change is needed. Said Bell: “While some may not always agree with his vision, it is doubtful that anyone would dispute his commitment to the kids and determination to provide what he believes to be a level playing field and opportunities for their development wherever those opportunities may lie.” Greene did not yet have the first of his four daughters when he began his coaching career. He has coached every level of hockey from Novice to Junior. He attained Advanced Level 1 coach certification in 1991. “Bill could be described as a man ahead of his time,” added Bell. “He was the first to start a week-long Hockey Skills Academy in B.C. Many who followed used his program as a model. He has been involved with B.C. Hockey’s Safety & Risk Management program including as a committee member for well over 10 years.” Aside from being a Speak Out and HCSP course conductor, he was a district co-ordinator and is a Hockey Canada certified master course conductor and has trained many local Speak Out and HCSP instructors. His focus has always been player safety. “Drug awareness, concussions, bullying or abusive behaviour, or any

other conduct that could be harmful to a child, whether physically or emotionally, was on his radar screen long before these concerns became a priority in all sports,” said Bell. Greene has served in many levels with the North Okanagan association, noting, “I offer them advice when they ask me.” Bell said she has been told that minor hockey kids adore Greene. Said Bell: “I quote Wilf Liefke, our vice-president, ‘He reminds me of a mother duck with her ducklings. When he arrives at the arena, the kids swarm him, following him around, wanting to chat about who knows what.’ There can be no better testimony to his sincerity.” Greene, who has spent most of his life as a forestry consultant, was born Dec. 1, 1955 in Montreal, where he grew up before moving to Vancouver for a short time in his late teens. He then settled in Armstrong and ran a prominent sound company in Kelowna in his 20s. He was a “lousy winger who could throw ‘em” in Saint-Bruno-deMontarville minor hockey and his most famous neighbour was NHL goalie Gump Worsley. Liefke, a longtime Vernon resident and Okanagan Mainline director, is the new president of B.C. Hockey (two-year term).

Welcome to the

Army Navy & Air Force

The Vernon Off Road Motorcycle Club is hosting rounds one and two of the Canadian National Off-Road Championships, July 7-8 at Noble Canyon in Lavington. The event, presented by Gnarly Parts and Accessories, will feature the fastest pro and amateur riders in Canada. The race format is based on a European style called world enduro where the riders tackle a 48-kilometre course with three challenge sections to test riders’ speed and skill. “We hope to attract many local amateur riders to this event,” said club spokesperson Blake Plysiuk. “To some who may not have heard of this type of racing, it may sound intimidating, but it is actually quite rider-friendly as riders of lesser skill level are required to do only one or two laps on the course and have ample time to complete the laps at their own pace, within a set overall time limit.” The Vernon club has secured permission from Coldstream Ranch to run parts of the course on their land.

Hawaiian Luau & Pig Roast

“Our race will be a first for the Vernon area to hold a national event and we hope to draw many spectators and riders,” said Plysiuk. Riders do not need any special time-keeping equipment; they wear a transponder and are scored to the 10th of a second at the special test sections in each round. Each day of competition in the eight-race series is scored individually, and class and overall champions are determined by their accumulated time. Spectators are encouraged to take in the action, and admission is free. Heading east, turn left off Highway 6 in Lavington onto Noble Canyon Rd. The pit area and extreme test (one of the challenge sections) is just off to the left about 500 yards up the road. There will be a full concession, toilets and live entertainment “We encourage families to attend the event as our goal is a fun family atmosphere at all of our events,” said Plysiuk. Registration for the event closes today. For more information about the club, visit www. vormc.com.

ANDRE LODDER/MORNING STAR

Caden Bracken of the Morgan Glass Black Diamonds beats the throw to first baseman Tyson Sampert of the Sun Dial Royals in Vernon Pee Wee baseball playoff action Monday night at Creekside Park.

Royals rule Pee Wee class Morning Star Staff

The Sun Dial Lighting Royals zapped the Union Securities Red Sox 16-7 to secure the Pee Wee baseball title Wednesday night at Creekside Park. The Royals used solid base running to score three runs in the opening inning, and added three more in the second, the last one scored by Tyson Sampert. In the bottom of second, the Red Sox’ Rayne Goodwater, Corey Anderson and Noah Foufoulas hit single RBIs, bringing home Ethan Sawka, Ryan Rumsey and Goodwater respectively. Royals’ base burglar Erik Colwell and Dakota Becker scored in the third inning. The Sox responded with a single by Hayden Vardon to bring in Tyler Braun. Ryan Jakes hit a sac fly to cash in Vardon. Dex Elders reached home to make it 10-5 Royals in the fourth. Red Sox’ third baseman Goodwater made a running catch for the final out. Nolan Tokai scored for the Red Sox. Greg Geistlinger hammered a shot to right field to bring in Becker in the fifth. Graham Moss advanced for the second run, while Hunter Krieger and Elders showed great wheels around the bases. Sawka crossed home plate on an RBI by Anderson in the bottom of the fifth. The Sox advanced to the final by scoring seven runs in the bottom of the fifth to pull a 12-11 comeback semifinal win over the Interior Utilities Management Mad Dogs. Vardon closed the game with a no-hit fifth, striking out the lead batter. Tokia laid down a perfect bunt with the bases loaded to tie the game. Anderson stole home on a passed ball with Sawka at the plate for the walk off victory. The Mad Dogs had the lead in the first four innings. Alyssa Racine shut the Red Sox down in the second and added three runs. Shelby Porteous, Issac Olson, Garett BlackThomas and Kalvin Blaeser combined for eight runs. Braun, Foufoulas and Jakes added to the Union Securities’ team-leading RBI totals to keep the drive alive. Rumsey got caught up in a spectacular run down between second and third to ignite the Red Sox. In earlier round-robin play, the Red Sox outlasted Morgan’s Glass Black Diamonds 15-10. The Black Diamonds sent Shaughnessy Barker

to the mound for the first two innings. The Sox got RBI-singles from Vardon, Braun and Foufoulas in their half of the first which ended 3-3 as the Diamonds swiped home twice. Goodwater and Sawka both drove in secondinning runs for the Sox, while Jakes stole home. In the third, it was Vardon smacking a double and scoring on a hit by Braun. Sawka took the hill and struck out one batter, as did Nicolas Poirier for the Black Diamonds. The Black Diamonds countered with a two-run double by Jacob Soucy, followed by run-scoring hits by Johnathan Schwartz and Barker. Anderson drove in a run and later stole home for the Sox, while Sawka singled in Foufoulas before stealing home to make it 11-7 Sox in the fourth. Bailey Wellman was solid on the mound for the Black Diamonds in the fifth, while Soucy pitched the sixth. Anderson shut down the Diamonds in the sixth.

Brad Jones of Vernon won the Kamloops City Championship Zone 2 junior event last weekend at the Kamloops Golf and Country Club. Jones, who plays out of Predator Ridge Resort while working the back shop at Vernon Golf & CC, carded 69-74-143 for a seven-stroke victory over Lionel Taylor of Kelowna Golf & CC (72-78-150). A graduate of the Vernon Christian School, Jones posted nines of 34-35 on Day 1 in rain and wind, earning birdies on three of the first five holes. He went 37-37 in the final round. “The course is only 6,500 yards so it’s relatively short and super tight,” said Jones, the assistant referee assigner for Vernon minor hockey. “I hit my driver only six times all weekend. Just hit a lot of irons and three-woods off the tees and then hit smart second shots just to the middle of greens. I hit around 15 greens both days.” Nick Corno of Kamloops Golf & CC was third at 80-74-154, followed by Christian Lacasse of Vernon Golf & CC at 77-78-155 and defending champion Adam Struch of The Dunes in Kamloops at 78-78-156. “It was a special win just because it was my

last ever junior event (he turns 19 Saturday) and it kind of put the cap on a special junior career for me which included playing for Team Canada West in 2010 when I was 16,” said Jones. His summer schedule includes the Ogopogo Tournament in Kelowna, the B.C. Amateur in

Pitt Meadows and then a few men’s events in the Kootenays when he spends time at the family summer home.

Maleska sparkles Morning Star Staff

Keeper Jeanette Maleska did a pretty good impersonation of Spain’s Euro Cup hero Iker Casillas as the AF Blazers earned a scoreless draw with the North Enderby Celtics Tuesday night at Marshall Field #4. Maleska made several highlight-reel saves to earn her first shutout of the season for the last-place Blazers (0-8-2). The second-place Celtics went to 4-2-3 in the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 1. After an injury in the third minute, the Blazers played the first 25 minutes down a body before their 11th player arrived from work. After putting on decent offensive pressure in the first 15 minutes, the Blazers fell back in to a more defensive game. Dana Lazar, Carol-Ann Bourdon and Jessica Brewis were stellar on defence in support of Maleska. Jen Moen and newcomer Becky Dodds were brilliant in the midfield shutting down the Celtics’ attack. Kailee Streichert and Carissa Morneau had several quality scoring chances in the first half. Missing several regulars, NET had to change things up with players in positions that were somewhat foreign to them. “The Blazers’ keeper had lots of work to do; her hands appeared to have stick’em on them as she didn’t drop much at all,” said NET coach Graham Ross. Jodi Bariesheff showed her tireless work effort dominating the left wing and getting the ball in the box. Charmaine Biagioni earned the shutout for NET (4-2-3). In other first division play, Dr. Lee Dental scored four second-half goals to beat host Salmon Arm Glenn Power 4-1 to keep their unbeaten streak alive at nine games. The Floss Crew came out firing in the second half with Madison Kaneda scoring two minutes in on a great pass from Irene Arrotta Two minutes later, Kaneda connected on another well-placed shot which stunned Glenn Power.

Salmon Arm pulled within a goal 15 minutes later, only to have Andi King tap one in after a howitzer from Kaneda five minutes later. Jacquie Hansen made it 4-1 minutes later, set up by Kaneda and Leah Frye, as Dr Lee had 10 touches before the goal was scored. Okanagan Heat Lady of the match Kaneda was all over the pitch, and defensive stalwart Kim Teichman chased down the speedy Salmon Arm forwards. Arrotta and Stephanie Wilson had great games in the midfield, while Lisa Arrotta made several key stops early to keep 8-0-1 Dr. Lee in the game.

Smithson goes big for Longhorn

In Masters Division play Tuesday night, the Longhorn Impact clipped the Goplen Drillers 2-1 at Marshall Field #2. Janelle Smithson copied Mario Balotelli and scored both goals as the undefeated third-place Impact improved to 6-1-2. Kim Wiebe was stellar passing and weaving through the Driller defence on an injured foot from co-ed play Friday night. The first Impact goal came off a pass by Wiebe to Smithson, who buried a shot past the charging keeper.

TOFC rolls Fusion Morning Star Staff

Five Vernon products helped the Thompson Okanagan (TOFC) stop Vancouver Fusion FC 3-0 in first-round EA Sports B.C. Premier Soccer League Under 13 Boys playoff action Sunday at Hugh Boyd Park in Richmond. TOFC, coached by Shaun Flanagan, is comprised of players from Kelowna, West Kelowna, Lake Country and Vernon. The third-place Thompson Okanagan crew got caught by an early fast tempo by the second-place Fusion and got several clutch saves from Vernon keeper Taitum MacCaulay. Mitch Morgan of Lake Country battled hard and was rewarded with a 35-yard free kick that put TOFC up 1-0. Morgan continued to battle hard, and in the second half, scored his seventh of the year on a header. Connor Glennon of Vernon was fed a beautiful far-post ball from Sam MacDonald for his league-leading eighth of the year to put the Fusion away. All Vernon players saw action with Jared Quibel, Tim Solinger and Mees Gerlaken all contributing solid efforts. The U13 Boys return to the Lower Mainland this weekend to take on Surrey United in the championship final. Surrey went undefeated this year and beat TOFC in two close games. The EA Premier League is the highest level of soccer being played in B.C. All Vernon players, except for MacCaulay, who moved here from Bellingham last year, have been receiving excellent coaching from David Broadhurst at the local soccer academy. “Any team can be beaten on any given day; on Saturday the boys were disciplined and clinical,” said Flanagan. “We usually try to pick three stars of the game but we had stellar performances in every position. “First season in, our goal was to establish ourselves as a top-four team. We had a disappointing start to the season, though the team was playing well. We weren’t getting the results, dropped a lot of easy points and that usually comes back and bites you. “Onto the final against Surrey United. We’ve never played well against them but we can take them with the same kind of performance.”

The Ice Pirates stopped Sask Xcel 6-1, crushed Foothills Elite of Calgary 7-1, tied the NAA Crunch of Edmonton 4-4 in a penalty-filled affair and defeated Can-West Rush of Edmonton 3-1. They clipped the Crunch 3-2 in an overtime semifinal. The feisty Head was tied for second in tournament points with 3-5-8 while adding 14 penalty minutes. Fletcher scored four times, while Hoffman earned 3-1-4. Fletcher bagged two goals, including the winner, in the final. Hoffman supplied 1+1. Fletcher netted the overtime winner, at 1:21, in the semifinal.

Charity event supports salmon Morning Star Staff

The Kingfisher Interpretive Centre near Enderby received $13,000 from the Pacific Salmon Foundation last year to support a chinook conservation program. To generate donations for similar volunteer efforts, the Vancouver-based foundation has teamed up with the Okanagan Nation Alliance to host a gala dinner and auction Aug. 2 in Kelowna. “The Pacific Salmon Foundation has typically had to decline half of the project proposals we received because of lack of funds,” said Michael Meneer, vicepresident of development. “Last year’s chinook project led by the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre was one of 57 Pacific salmon projects that we have supported in the Okanagan region since 1990.” The volunteer-run Kingfisher Interpretive Centre was formed in 1980 in response to the near extinction

of salmon stocks in the Shuswap River. “The centre has become a mainstay of Pacific salmon conservation and education activities in the region,” said Meneer. For sponsorship information or to buy tickets for the Pacific Salmon Foundation and Okanagan Nation Alliance fundraiser Aug. 2, contact Greg Senini at 604664-7664 (extension 111) or gsenini@psf.ca. The event will be held at the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort and will begin at 5:30 p.m. with a reception featuring salmon appetizers prepared by a variety of Okanagan chefs. Tickets are $100 per person. The Kingfisher Interpretive Centre is also offering a free learn to fish program for children 15 and under July 29. Tickets are also available for a salmon barbecue and annual fundraiser Aug. 11. For more information, phone 250-838-0004.

North Okanagan boasts its beauty Morning Star Staff

Enderby, Lumby and Vernon will receive $27,600 for projects that help expand tourism. The funding comes from the provincial government’s Community Tourism Opportunities program. “I have lived in the North Okanagan for 30 years, so I know first hand just how fortunate we are,” said Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA. “But if you’ve never been, there’s no way to know. The idea behind this funding is to help these

communities help spread the word.” In Enderby $9,200 will go towards a promotional campaign of the Shuswap River route, Internet marketing, an image bank, website enhancements and aboriginal enhancements. For Lumby, there will be $9,200 for a brochure, a downtown banner project, an image bank and website enhancements. There will also be $9,200 in Vernon for an experiences map, virtual counselling videos, website enhancements and an image bank.

Cultures are being bridged in Enderby during the summer. Four Bridging Cultures events are being organized by the Splatsin First Nation and the Enderby Chamber of Commerce, with the first set for Sunday, Canada Day. “In 1910, our ancestral leaders stated that we needed to stand each other up to be great and good,” said Wayne Christian, Splatsin chief. “Today we reaffirm our commitment to stand up with our neighbors by bridging our cultures, songs and food. Come stand with us as we work together for our future.” On Sunday from noon to 2 p.m. at Barnes Park, Splatsin youth have organized drumming, singing, dancing and stick games. The second Bridging Cultures event will be at Belvidere Park July 8 from 3 to 5 p.m. Splatsin elders will promote traditional singing, dancing and drumming. Another two events are planned for August and details will be announced once they are finalized. Darren Robinson, chamber executive director, says he’s proud to be working with the Splatsin First Nation on several projects. “We want to celebrate our cultural diversity and our joint commitment to improving life for everyone in our collective com-

Vernon is ready to kick Canada Day off with a bang. The Celebrate Canada Day fireworks finale gets underway Sunday at the DND grounds at 10:15 p.m. The event, presented by the City of Vernon and Kal Tire, includes a free park and ride with B.C. Transit from 8:30 p.m. to 3 a.m. Park at the Performing Arts Centre and catch a ride at the turnaround in front of the Boys and Girls Club up to the DND grounds and back. The Celebrate Canada Day event has gained some support from Sutton Group Lakefront Realty through the purchase of 180 new fireworks mortars, (tubes from which firework shells are launched). “The mortars, ranging in size from 50 mm to 150 mm, will be used for years to come by the City of Vernon and surrounding fire departments on various fireworks displays,” said Terry Schmauder, Celebrate Canada Day Fireworks committee chair. “Sincere thanks go out to the realtors of Sutton Group Lakefront Realty for their generous community-minded support.” No pets will be permitted on the DND grounds during the event.

HAPPY 145 TH BIRTHDAY CANADA

In just one week dedicated to cycling to and from work, North Okanagan citizens have made great strides. “I am excited for the City of Vernon and the North Okanagan Region that the provincial Bike to Work Week Campaign (May 28 to June 3) is increasing in popularity each year,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky. “A total of 59 Bike to Work teams registered with BTW-BC, with 516 team members (compared with 346 team members in 2011).” Of those, 198 were new participants (71 per cent increase from 116 new cyclists in 2011). Over 1,810 cycle trips were made during the entire week, compared with 1,155 trips last year (57 per cent increase). This year, cyclists travelled 18,983.4 km, which is an increase of 42 per cent (13,337 km in 2011). This translates into a 28 per cent savings of CO2 emissions. All three Bike to Work Cycling Skills and Safety courses were also full this spring. Coldstream Councillor Maria Besso says the event has made great strides to encouraging cycling. “Since the inception of Bike to Work Week in Vernon, I have noticed an increased number of cyclists on the road taking part during that week and beyond,” said Besso. “The event has raised awareness about cycling, and created a fun collegial atmosphere in the community that spawns some competitiveness and a desire to participate. Consequently, the feeling is contagious, and every year I have noticed more cyclists on the roads.” Corporate sponsorship has played a major role in having a positive outcome and many businesses have gotten on board with the initiative in more ways than one. “The promotion of biking is a viable method of commuting to work,” said Galina Labun, VantageOne Credit Union marketing manager. “Vantage One doubled their participation and we are pleased with that as it promotes good health for employees and is great for your mental processes. “I really enjoyed that when biking, you actually see more of the business displays as opposed to driving where you are hurrying from point A to point B too quickly to read the displays,” Labun adds. The overall winning teams were: Large category (51 or more employees) ■ Gold: Downtown Vernon Parkade Businesses - 43 per cent participation, team leader: Dr. Mike Murphy ■ Silver: RDNO Pedal Pushers - 34 per cent participation, team leader: Dale Danallanko ■ Bronze: Kal Tire Commuters - 22 per cent participating, team leader: Jolene Campbell Medium category (21-49 employees) ■ Gold: North Okanagan Cycling Society - 87 per cent participation, team leader: Cindy Garvin ■ Silver: Global Education Students - 84 per cent participation, team leader: Murray Sasges ■ Bronze: Vantage One Financial - 75 per cent participation, team leader: Mike Bellamy Small category (11-20 employees) ■ Gold: Re-Cyclers, Vernon Water Reclamation Centre - 56 per cent participation, team leader: Andrew Marr ■ Silver: The Clear Cut Solutions, BC Ministry of Forests and Range - 33 per cent participation, team leader: Ward Strong ■ Bronze: Safeway Pharmacy Pill Pedal Pushers - 28 per cent participation, team leader: Andre Ortmayr Mini category (three or more employees) ■ Gold: Spin, Family Physicians and Staff - 83 per cent participation, team leader: Alison LePage ■ Silver: B-Shift, Summit Environmental

Trooper waves the flag Canada Day ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Often imitated, never duplicated. William Shatner, Captain Kirk of Star Trek fame, closed out a five-song medley with the Trooper staple Raise A Little Hell at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Juno Awards. At last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canadian Country Music Association awards, Canadian country queen Terri Clark wowed the crowd with a rousing rendition of another Trooper classic, Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Here For a Good Time (Not a Long Time). In the case of Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trooper, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more tribute than imitation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Party Band,â&#x20AC;? which has been entertaining crowds across Canada and North America since the mid-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s, brings a rocking show to Vernon and the A&W Funtastic Music Festival stage Sunday at 10:30 p.m. following the Canada Day fireworks show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Musically, Trooper is tighter, looser and more willing to take chances than ever before,â&#x20AC;? said Ra McGuire, lead singer and co-founder of the band, along with guitarist Brian (Smitty) Smith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every show is different, and every show is musically fun â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both for the audience and the players.â&#x20AC;? The tributes continue for the players, which include Smith on guitar, Gogo on keyboards, Scott Brown on bass and Clayton Hill on drums. Famous Canadian barbecue chef Ted Reader lists Trooper as his favourite band in his new book Beerlicious: The Art of Grillinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; & Chillin, and is working on a Raise A Little Hell hot sauce. The book contains a note from McGuire (who has written his own book based on his journals from the road, Here For A Good Time), and a recipe for General Hand Grenade steak, named after another Trooper classic song. And, of course, there is the constant love from arguably Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funniest man, Rick Mercer, on his CBC show, The Rick Mercer Report. B.C. media superstars such as Red Robinson and Terry David Mulligan are among those pushing to have Trooper enshrined in the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. Given that the group has sold millions of records (their greatest hits album, Hot Shots, has gone six times platinum in Canada), has recorded a couple of dozen hits such as Raise

Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s party band for years, Trooper takes to the Funtastic stage Sunday at 10:30 p.m. after the fireworks show celebrating Canada Day.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year, we partied with more than 100,000 people at the Surrey Canada Day celebrations.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ra McGuire A Little Hell, Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Here For a Good Time, Pretty Lady, 3 Dressed Up As A 9, won a Juno for band of the year and has been acknowledged as one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top-five selling bands of all time, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonder Trooper isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already in the shrine. But the band itself wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be pushing for enshrinement, and McGuire admits heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncomfortable with the subject. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are, of course, honoured that people are making that effort,â&#x20AC;? said McGuire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be super chuffed to be inducted, but the truth is that our best reward continues to be the sold-out shows we do across the country.â&#x20AC;? And Trooper is loved coast to coast. McGuire said Newfoundland remains their favourite place to play. They just finished a pair of sold-out

shows in Inuvik, the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third visit to the Northwest Territories, where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been afforded the chance to drive the ice roads to Tuktoyaktuk, race three-wheelers across the tundra and ride in war canoes. The fact Trooper is playing Vernon on Canada Day is not lost on McGuire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our first album was released on Canada Day in 1975,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been a significant day for us. Last year, we partied with more than 100,000 people at the Surrey Canada Day celebrations. You can expect a rockinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; show in Vernon.â&#x20AC;? Trooperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appearance at Funtastic comes on the heels of Darby Mills and the Headpins, and Kenny Shields and Streetheart, kicking off the weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played tons of shows with both

Darby (we did an wonderful summer show in Vernon with her and Long John Baldry years ago) and Kenny,â&#x20AC;? said McGuire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re two of many rock and roll brothers and sisters that make up a motley crew of music veterans that hooks up frequently throughout the summer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in towns and cities all over this great country of ours.â&#x20AC;? If you miss Trooper live, you can catch up with the band via social media, which the group heartily embraces through Facebook and Twitter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/trooperband) is a place where old fans hang out and new fans stop by to see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new,â&#x20AC;? said McGuire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to keep things interesting there. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been on Twitter for years; me as @ ramcguire and the band as @trooperband. We, of course, encourage everyone to follow us to see how things unfold daily in Trooperland.â&#x20AC;? Trooper will raise a little hell for a good time at the A&W Funtastic Music Festival at the Vernon Army Camp Sunday. Opening July 1 is Aerosmith Rocks and We Are Live.

DENT: I thought they were searching for some Aztec temple? The movie felt like a bad Glee mashup song. You have two interesting movie ideas; vampires controlling the slave trade and Abraham Lincoln’s rise to the White House and then the Civil War. They’re two concepts best left on their own.

HOWE: I found only two good things about this movie. The 3D was one of the better ones I have seen this year and the special effects were good. I don’t even know where to start with the bad, it’s that terrible. The plot was silly, the script seemed to be written by a child and the acting was atrocious. Wait a minute, there was one other good thing, when the credits went up at the end. DENT: I took my 3D glasses off too soon. The credits nauseated

me. I agree with your compliments. The special effects and 3D were good though many of Abe’s feats, while rendered beautifully, were ridiculous. Sadly, George Lucas already proved special effects don’t make up for a bad movie. Dent gives Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter 1 silver pocket watch out of 5. Howe gives it 1.5 pairs of sunglasses out of 5. The feature is currently playing at Galaxy Cinema in Vernon.

Volunteers play Santa all year long CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff

The volunteers at Santas Anonymous are especially busy at Christmas, but, because birthdays can come on any day of the year, they work all the time. The society, founded in 1990 in Lyle Peterson’s garage, collects used toys, books and games in good condition and makes them available to low-income families with children up to age 12. “We don’t check finances. People who use the service really need it and they tell us how much they appreciate it,” said Vi Brett, vice-president of Santas Anonymous. The centre is open each Tuesday yearround with volunteers sorting, repairing, cleaning and sorting the donated items. The centre also has new items bought with cash donations, money from fundraising and the annual Toy Run. In the month leading up to Christmas, the centre is open five days a week and on weekends for people who can’t come during the week. It is necessary to make an appointment to select Christmas gifts but people can come in at any time on Tuesdays for birthday gifts. “We always need volunteers, including people who are mechanically and electrically inclined so we can check to make sure those toys are working and safe and repair them as needed,” said Brett. Volunteers are also needed for setting up for the annual garage sale and general help. Some volunteers take on the task of counting the pieces in puzzles that are donated in boxes or putting together the puzzles that come in a bag to make sure all the pieces are there and labeling them. One volunteer refurbished Barbies and other dolls, does their hair, makes new clothes for them and gets them ready to go to a new home. Children’s bikes, rollerblades, skates, play centres and small furniture are also refurbished. Books and games in good condition are accepted as donations. There is also a need for donations of baskets to be used to make up gift baskets. “I really enjoy being a volunteer and the people here. We all get along really well here. Some people try volunteering here and it’s not for them but at least they tried,” said Barb Lall. “I love the people I work with and the parents are so appreciative when they come in for anything.” The volunteers are appreciative of community support. “We have some businesses and indi-

ear Annie: I’ve been a stepmother to two lovely girls, now 12 and 17, since they were very young. My husband gladly pays child support on time without fail. The girls have different mothers who raise their children in opposite ways, yet in both cases, it’s rare that the child support actually reaches the child. The amount of child support each mother receives is fair, but is being used incorrectly. The girls continuously need clothes, shoes, haircuts, coats, money for school activities, you name it. It’s like my husband is paying child support twice for each child. My question is this: If the conversation falls on deaf ears with both mothers, is it OK to explain the financial situation to the girls? My husband doesn’t want to talk money with them, and I don’t want to badmouth their mothers, but I’m tired of being broke. What’s my role? — North Carolina Stepmom Dear Stepmom: To be supportive. Do not involve the children in your dispute over child support. This is not their fault, and they shouldn’t be put in the middle of unhappy parents. If your husband feels the support payments are not being used to cover the girls’ necessities, he needs to document what he spends for these things and then talk to his lawyer and ask that the support payments be reduced. Dear Annie: I am a 28-year-old mother of two beautiful children. I have an aunt who suffers from various conditions, and over the years, she has been

Do your homework before buying or selling a house. Selling or buying a new house can be a complicated process and involves a lot of planning - and often a little ingenuity, too. Considering the size of the investment you have made in your house, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth your while to take the time to learn how to protect it and yourself. Here are some tips to get you started: Show your house in its best light. Your house might be competing against others in the area, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to give yourself every possible advantage. A clean house makes a good impression and shows that the house has been well looked after. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what buyers want to see. A fresh coat of paint and some light decor can revitalize the interior and make it attractive and appealing. It presents a positive image of your house and can help make for a successful sale. Stay informed about housing market conditions. Do your research and learn what factors affect the housing market and the prices in the neighbourhood. Understand how they would apply to your house, either buying or selling it. Scan the news, real estate magazines, the Internet and any other related resources. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also beneficial to consult with industry professionals; mortgage brokers and realtors can advise and assist you with pricing, market conditions, financial processes and legal requirements. Confirm that your insurance coverage is current. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having an open house, ensure your home and

These professional athletes were able to get back to play in only a few short weeks, instead of the normal two to four months of healing and rehabilitation time it takes for more conventional therapies. Surgical treatment would sideline these highly trained athletes for a whole season. Platelet-rich plasma injected at the site of an arthritic joint or injury has the ability to create an ideal healing environment. This has been shown in animal studies and now in a limited way in humans. The treatment is simple, and easy to do in the office. A small number of patients have reported increased pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site but this response didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last long and has been lessened by using ultrasound to guide the injection and placement of the PRP.

Dr. Sampson further explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This pilot study sets the foundation for a large multicenter clinical trial to further demonstrate if PRP is safe and effective for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.â&#x20AC;? Dr. Sampson adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are facing an epidemic with patients suffering from arthritis at earlier ages. Unfortunately most conservative options are limited and address the symptoms of inflammation, rather than address the biochemical process of the disease.â&#x20AC;?

Patients with chronic tendinitis (e.g., tennis elbow, jumperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knee, or Achilles tendinitis) have benefited from this treatment.

surprised to learn that more people do care about you than you realized. Then again, if your survival technique is to pretend that “everything is alright” and you are not being honest with yourself or anyone else, it may prevent friends or family from reaching out to help, because nobody can read your mind. Sometimes we worry that if we give voice to our emotions that we will fall apart. Releasing emotion and feelings is cathartic and allows a cleansing of the mind to begin. Besides, it is such a relief to be able to tell someone. I believe we intuitively know when we are on the slide downwards, but, generally speaking, our society does not encourage us to acknowledge and deal with mental health issues. Unlike feeling unwell physically and making a doctor’s appointment, with mental health we seem to wait until we are feeling so bad that we are almost paralyzed with depression. Sadly, there is still fear attached to issues around mental health.

Despite the best efforts of the Canadian Mental Health Association and various other agencies, the stigma still hangs around. Please check out their website at www. cmha.ca and educate yourself. If you notice that a friend, relative or colleague is behaving differently, is withdrawing, is giving belongings away, has had a major loss in their lives, or has been ‘downsized’ and they got their whole identity through their job, take them for coffee and ask how you can help. If you are a person who is feeling sad most of the time, or if you are contemplating suicide, or have a friend who is, please reach out to the Crisis Line at 250-545-2339 (Vernon). All calls are confidential and they are caring listeners. You are not alone. Allow yourself to ask for help. We promise to notice and we do care.

ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Most of the time you’ll be very pragmatic, but some little thing you take for granted could be your downfall, causing you an unexpected loss. Be detail-conscious at all times. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) When it comes to your commercial dealings, keep your guard up constantly. If you’re naive, there’s a chance you could link up with someone who isn’t as ethical as you are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Regardless of their ingenuity, if your ideas are not implemented properly they won’t produce the results you want. Make their execution as bright as your initial thinking. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Pay particular attention to details, especially if you are working on a group endeavor in which many folks have a finger. If someone makes a mistake, another will compound it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) It would be best not to volunteer to help someone with a project about which you know nothing. You might be the one who is held accountable if anything goes wrong. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) In order to placate your mate, you might agree to do something that goes against your better judgment. You would be far better off hammering out an agreement that you can both live with. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Just in case something disruptive should occur that interrupts your work,

it would be better for you to focus on getting essential tasks done early in the day. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You can be a pretty good manager of your funds when you put your mind to it. However, it’ll be up to you to prevent your whimsical impulses from gaining the upper hand. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Nothing good will come of you and a colleague pulling in opposite directions. You’ll have to first straighten out your differences before you can work together. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Regardless of how juicy the news, you should check it out before passing it on as gospel. You could wrongly ruin someone’s reputation. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) It’s good to be enthusiastic about something that you want, but check out its price first before you make a financial commitment. It might be much cheaper somewhere else.

HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot ﬂashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Moderately Confused

Right @ Your s! Fingertip

Bridge by Phillip Alder THE SPOT CARDS CAN BE HARD TO SPOT Phyllis Battelle, a syndicated columnist, said, “A reporter discovers, in the course of many years of interviewing celebrities, that most actors are more attractive behind a spotlight than over a spot of tea.” A bridge player discovers, in the course of many years, that most competitors are more attentive to honor cards than spot cards. An honor card appearing unexpectedly is always noticed. But many partners will not register that partner played, say, a four before a three. Also, the inexperienced give away lots of free information with the spot and honor cards that they play. This column is particularly

useful for players who compete against opponents who watch the cards and work out who has what. Declarer, when playing a spot card from his closed hand, usually does better not to play the lowest one, but to play the next one up. We had one example yesterday. Here is another. How should South plan the play in three no-trump after West leads the spade king? There seem to be nine easy tricks via one spade, three hearts and five diamonds. But South had better notice the diamondspot situation. If he plays his three on any of the first three rounds of diamonds, he will take the fourth diamond trick in his hand and the fifth winner will die in the dummy because there

is no entry. Instead, declarer follows the second-lowest “rule.” He leads the seven to the queen, drops the eight under the king, and throws his nine on the ace. Then dummy’s four squashes South’s three and the two can be cashed. Declarer “inadvertently” unblocks the suit.

DALEY

Dennis James (February 22, 1948 – June 23, 2012) After eight long years of battling cancer, Dennis passed away peacefully in his sleep at home on June 23, 2012. Badly missing him already are his wife Sue, his daughter Joanna Clark (Darren), his step-sons Dave LaCasse (Jenna) and Andrew LaCasse (Lee), his much loved grandchildren, Lennox LaCasse and Eden Clark, his “brother”, Lorne Brooks, his extended family in Prince George and his best four legged friend, Abi. He also leaves behind many good friends in both Kelowna and Prince George. Dennis was born in Edmonton and was the much adored only child of Dorothy and Bill Daley who both predeceased him. As Bill was in the air force, Dennis moved frequently and made new friends along the way in Whitehorse, Three Rivers, Ottawa and Edmonton. He obtained his law degree from the University of Alberta in 1972 and moved to Prince George to article with the law firm of Heather Sadler Jenkins. Although Dennis only intended to practice a short time in Prince George he met many great friends through baseball, hockey and football which held him there for 24 years. While living in Prince George he met and fell in love with golden retrievers and running field trials became his new passion. In 1996, Kelowna beckoned so Dennis, Sue, Dave and Andrew moved and Dennis opened his own practice. Dennis loved the “good fight” and was a well respected and successful trial lawyer. Unfortunately in 2006 his good fight ended when his illness forced him to close his practice. Whenever his health allowed it, Dennis loved travelling, golfing with Sue and his buddies and training Abi. In 2011 he was thrilled when Abi placed Third in the Prince George Field Trial. A Celebration of Dennis life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on June 29th, 2012 at Manteo Resort, 3762 Lakeshore Road, Kelowna. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Sindi Ahluwalia Hawkins Cancer Centre for the Southern Interior. Arrangements in care of Everden Rust Funeral Services, (250) 860-6440. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.everdenrust.com

HENLEY

Mabel Elizabeth With deep sorrow we announce the passing of Mabel on June 19, 2012. She is survived by her husband Dave, children Shelley and Keith (Dianne), and grandchildren Jeremy, Alex, Lincoln, Dylan and Allannah. She is also survived by her brothers Wallace (Rita) Chaput, Ray (Lorraine) Ostrass, Joe (Merle) Ostrass, sister-in-law Kathy Chaput, brotherin-laws Angus (Sue) Henley, Ken (Mabel) Henley, Frank Henley, and sister-in-laws Phyllis Henley, Patsy Moore, and Helen Sylvester, and numerous nieces and nephews. Mabel and Dave moved to Prince George from Vernon in 1970, and shortly after bought the Chuckwagon Cafeteria. She was the backbone of the business, and made many friendships along the way, with both customers and long time staff members. After selling the business in 1979, Mabel and Dave took up camping and ﬁshing, bonding more friendships, most especially with her (late) sister Clara and husband Al. That all came to an end when health problems took over her lifestyle, ﬁrst Parkinsons and then COPD. She was a big part of the grandchildren’s lives, even as they grew into adulthood. There was always a standing date for dinner at grandma’s on Thursdays. There will be no funeral, by Mabel’s request. Published in The Prince George Citizen on June 22, 2012
