Highway on track for 2013 RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Steady progress is being made on a new transportation route in the Okanagan. Construction of realignment of Highway 97 between Oyama and Winfield has reached the halfway mark. “It’s a milestone project that has been talked about for a long time,” said Blair Lekstrom, transportation minister. Work began on the nine-kilometre stretch in May 2011 and it’s expected to be completed in the summer of 2013. The new route will replace the current highway along Wood Lake, which has been the scene of numerous motor vehicle accidents, including fatalities, over the years.
“It will increase safety for the travelling public and the movement of goods and services,” said Lekstrom. “This is a busy corridor and it gets busier each and every month and each and every year.” Moving traffic away from Wood Lake has been a major priority for the District of Lake Country. “We started lobbying based on safety, not just for traffic but for fish and water quality imperiled by hazardous material trucks going by,” said Mayor James Baker. The total price tag is $77.9 million with the funds coming from Victoria and Ottawa. “It’s one of the biggest infrastructure projects happening outside of the
Lower Mainland right now,” said Norm Letnick, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA. As part of the work, two steel pipes that will serve as underpasses for access to orchards and recreational areas have been installed. More than one million cubic metres of rock and soil have been excavated on the site so far. Parts of the highway provide panoramic views of Wood and Kalamalka lakes, as well as orchards and the treecovered hillsides. Ron Cannan, Kelowna-Lake Country MP, has suggested a lookout may be needed. “There will be a lot of rubber-neckers going both ways,” he said of motorists trying to take in the sights.

W
hen your last name is Zillinger, you’re often the final one called at school. So Monika Zillinger had no problems waiting patiently outside while the 162 fellow Pleasant Valley Secondary School graduates in Armstrong marched into the Nor-Val Sports Centre ahead of her Wednesday to commence graduation ceremonies. “I’m always last, so I’m used to it,� laughed Zillinger, 18, who edged out Dalton Zieske for the, er, honour of being the final graduate to enter the arena. “I did have one elementary school teacher who, one time, decided to go the opposite, so I got to go first at least once.� Listing French instructor Sandra Arthurson as her favourite teacher, Zillinger said prior to the ceremonies that she felt like grad had already happened. “We’ve had the grad prom, and exams are finished, so it does feel like grad is over,� said Zillinger, who will study engineering at UBCO in the fall. At the other end of the line was Brandon Aikema, who would be the first to lead the procession into the arena. Asked if he remembered his first day at PVSS, Aikema replied, “not really.� But he did know that the four years at the school went by really fast, thanks to playing sports, mainly basketball for Adrian Lemaire and the PVSS Saints. Aikema had one main goal in leading his fellow Class of 2012 mates into Nor-Val: “I don’t want to trip,� chuckled Aikema, who plans to study business administration at Okanagan College. “I didn’t trip in rehearsal.� (Nor did he stumble during the real thing.) Grads – many who started together in Grade 6 in 2006 when Len Wood Elementary became a middle school – arrived an hour before the 7 p.m. start to get decked out in their red-and-black school coloured graduation gowns and caps. They were helped in the Nor-Val Sports Centre by adult volunteers, then they posed for photos in their grad outfits. Inside the facility, parents, grandparents, family and friends were filling up the seats above and on the floor and, before long, the arena was filled to capacity. Graduation in a small town is a big night, and one person who understands this is Pat McGregor, PVSS Class of 1980. He was on the concourse ready to watch the youngest of his three children, Darren, pick up his graduation certificate. “This school is so closely connected to the

community, and now, not having a kid in the school is a bit of a disconnect, and tonight is very bittersweet,� said McGregor, who lives still in Armstrong with his wife, Nancy, the former Nancy Connor who he met in the
halls of PVSS in 1980 (Nancy graduated from PVSS in 1981). The Class of 2012 is the first group to graduate since the formation of Len Wood Middle School in 2006. Getting ready to watch the grads come in, then settle in for the official ceremonies, brought memories of McGregor’s own graduation racing back. “The class was a little smaller (50 graduates), longer hair, more muscle cars, and the guys were a very close group,� said McGregor, pointing out that four of his PVSS Saints basketball teammates were also in Nor-Val Wednesday to watch their kids graduate. “And I remember I had a really ugly cream-coloured suit. The suits these days are way nicer than ones we had in 1980.� Once the graduates arrived inside, PVSS principal Rob MacAulay presided over the evening, which included greetings from Splatsin Indian Band Chief Wayne Christian, school district board member Laurie Myers and superintendent Dave Witt, a musical presentation from grads Elizabeth Bannick and Morgan Lochhead, and the graduation
address from popular teacher George Kocsis. The evening wrapped up with the address from elected valedictorians Cheyanne Nikolaisen and Patrick Palmer. Both said it was an honour to be elected by their peers, and share the stage with one another, and they dedicated the evening to their classmates and their families. “This is the first and only time that both families – our families at home and our school family – get to celebrate together,� said Palmer.

After years of parents ensuring schools have playgrounds, there’s a new source of funds. The provincial government will direct $25,000 to Harwood Elementar y and $50,000 to Alexis Park Elementary for the installation of new playground equipment. “Look at how much fun the kids have. They are out in the air and getting a little exercise,” said Eric Foster, Ve r n o n - M o n a s h e e MLA, while at both schools Wednesday. Foster admits previous financial responsibility for playgrounds has been with parent advisory councils, which have had to fundraise. “We’re encouraging kids to be healthy and if we want that, we have to come to the table,” he said. Bill Turanski, Vernon School District chairperson, is pleased to see a change in government policy. “They’ve been struggling to provide equipment,” he said of PACs. An additional $3.3 million in playground funding is being provided to 80 schools across B.C. This is the final phase of an $8 million commitment made last September to playgrounds. At Harwood, the new equipment will be in addition to the existing play area. “We’re a growing school and part of that growth is we have four kindergarten classes (two French immersion and two English),” said principal Brian Smyth. “When there are 88 kindergarten students out, there’s not quite enough equipment.” The $50,000 will help replace a second piece of equipment that is in poor shape at Alexis Park. “What a wonderful gift this is for the children at Alexis Park and the community who will, no doubt, use it,” said principal Jennifer Gardner.

Fire rescue hinges on road work RICHARD ROLKE

Morning Star Staff
BX-Swan Lake firefighters are concerned road work may cut them off from residents in need. Silver Star Road, the main access for volunteers to reach the fire hall and for fire trucks to respond to emergencies, is ripped up for drainage upgrades. “Our timely response manner is at the will of the road,� said chief Bill Wacey. Until the end of July, there will be alternating, single-lane traffic from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday. “Our guys responding to the hall for a call-out could be held up because of the traffic and the truck could be held up because of the traffic,� said Wacey. Wacey insists the department was not contacted by the City of Vernon prior to culvert and ditch project starting Monday. “There hasn’t been a single word. There’s been absolutely no communication,� he said. City officials say they will try and work with the fire department. “We will get in touch with our contractor and we will get them to contact the department,� said Mark Dowhaniuk, the city’s infrastructure

City of Vernon crews undergo ditch and culvert work in the 5200 block of Silver Star Road. The project began June 25 and is expected to wrap up at the end of July, but the rehabilitation of the road isn’t anticipated to be completed until the end of September. Between delays, single-lane traffic is permitted. engineer. “They (firefighters) may have to chat with the flagperson directly so they can get through.� Besides Silver Star Road, the fire department believes it could also be delayed in responding to emergencies because Old Kamloops Road is under construction. Another concern is parts of East Vernon and Tillicum roads are closed because of flooding. Wacey says that until the Ministry of Transportation initiates repairs, firefighters will have to take a prolonged route to get to parts of the BX. “We will have to go
down to Hunter’s Store (on Pleasant Valley Road) and then turn up BX Road,� he said. The ministr y believes Tillicum and East Vernon roads have been undermined at a
culvert and they are unsafe for travel. “Further work cannot occur until the water level drops through the culvert, so the timeline for repairs right now is weather-
dependent,� says a statement from the ministry. “We know the detours are an inconvenience but the roads will be repaired when it’s safe to do so.�

YOU AND THE LAW MILD BRAIN INJURY IS TRAUMATIC By Janice Mucalov, LL.B. David, 19, was broad-sided by another vehicle which drove through a red light. He struck the left side of his head against the windshield and his knee against the dash, suffering a mild whiplash, cuts and bruising about the left side of his face and a badly bruised ear drum, in addition to a cut and bruised knee. While he didn’t lose consciousness, he probably suffered a concussion in which his awareness was altered. He was treated in the emergency room and released later that night. David recovered from his physical injuries within six months after the accident. But he drank more, forgot about his hockey practices, slept more during the day, needed to be reminded what to do at work, and was generally difficult to get along with. Based on the evidence – including medical witnesses – the BC Supreme Court concluded that David had suffered mild traumatic brain injury or MTBI, and he was compensated accordingly.
consciousness can also cause brain damage. And MTBI can occur in the absence of a blow to the head, i.e., a whiplash type of movement can also cause an injury to the brain. Various tests are used to diagnose a brain injury. Neurological examinations may include a CT, MRI, PET or SPECT scans, EEG and “brain mapping.” But neurological exams don’t always pick up the injury. As a result, MTBI can go undiagnosed. Neuropsychological testing – which evaluates how the injury has affected your learning, organizational skills and cognitive thinking – is therefore another useful diagnostic tool. This involves taking a case history, a review of hospital records, interviews with you and family members, employers and co-workers, and the administration of a battery of cognitive and other tests. (Insurers are often reluctant to fund this kind of testing as it is very expensive.) In time, many people recover fully from a mild traumatic brain injury. But some continue to have permanent problems.

Land changes harvest criticism JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Opposition continues to crop up over proposed changes taking root on agricultural land in Coldstream. A Coldstream resident who has been in the agricultural industry for 40 years is questioning what Coldstream hopes to achieve with plans to limit small agricultural parcels. “You eliminate the ability for someone to get into crops as a sideline,” Joel Allen told Coldstream councillors Monday. With more people interested in eating locally-grown products, and considering the economy and that few people can actually afford large parcels of agricultural land, Allen urges the importance of keeping small parcels an option. He also points out that there is already a well-established committee that regulates what land is best suited to be subdivided or removed from the agri-
cultural land reserve (ALR). “The Agricultural Land Commission has done a fantastic job for 40 years of regulating what land comes out of the land reserve.” While Allen says Coldstream currently does not have a lot of five-acre parcels, one politician says that is definitely not the case. “There are 824 parcels in the ALR,” said Coun. Maria Besso. “Of those, 640 are
under four hectares. “It’s those larger parcels that we want to maintain. There’s a perception that there are a lot of small parcels out there. They’re actually many small parcels being farmed as one.” The proposed changes to agricultural land have spurred significant interest and opposition, including from the Coldstream Acreage Owners’ Association. Mayor Jim Garlick
says any changes to the plan are on hold until a new planner is hired on at the district (an interim planner is currently in place). “Then what we’ll be doing is look at these items again,” said Garlick, adding that public input will be sought and the district will explain why the proposed changes came about. “That process is probably going to be happening in the fall.”

t’s Canada Day. So celebrate. And apparently, according to yet another poll, we are not as shy about telling the world who’s No. 1 as much as most people would have predicted. You know, the polite Canadian. Apologizing for stuff we shouldn’t be. Not creating a fuss. Manners trump pretty much everything else. Cleanliness counts. Ending everything with ‘eh?’ because we’re not really that confident about anything, either that or it’s an overriding desire to be liked by one and all. Of course most of these Glenn Mitchell traits, if not all, are still true of most Canucks but if this poll is to be believed, and I suspect they are onto something, we’re developing a kind of swagger in our step. We always claim that’s what Americans do and we don’t. You know how over-the-top the Super Bowl halftime show is, or the tendency to wave the stars and stripes all over the place, and even the stereotypical fast-talking, brash Yankee that is fairly ignorant of the rest of the world, especially their northern cousins, which irritates us to no end. However, according to this Ipsos-Reid online survey of 1,100 Canucks, conducted for something called the Historica-Dominion Institute, one in five claimed they would consider getting a tattoo of the Canadian flag. Wow. That’s true, patriotic love of the true north, strong and free. And more than a bit in your face too. Now it should be noted that most eager respondents were from Saskatchewan and Manitoba, where you only have to reveal any skin that may have a tattoo on it for one month of the year, August, and with the under-55 set which explains my reluctance to the idea, and I consider myself pretty patriotic. You know it’s curious. I was watching David

Letterman the other night and he was giving guest Justin Bieber, a Canadian, heck for getting another tattoo in honour of his new album, Believe. He even went as far as mockingly trying to rub it off. It was more of a generational thing, Letterman trying to be his well-meaning uncle or something, but it also had a reflection of the progression of what people assume to be the stereotypical Canadian. I mean, for one, Letterman was surprised (or mock surprised, it’s always hard to tell with him) that Bieber was Canadian. And that’s likely because he’s young, confident, mega-successful, even a bit brash – with at least two tattoos. Of course most Americans would think he’s one of them because, after all, where else would he be from? But he’s also pretty polite, grateful and appears to be a nice guy, all Canadian attributes. And we always like to take some pride in any Canuck that does well in the States, unfortunately we usually wait until then, but that might come down to that needed validation from big brother. Plus that’s where the money is, right? Anyway I believe it’s a good thing that we seem to be taking more pride in our country (after all it is the best) and even showing it sometimes. However I hope we maintain the qualities of class and respect. I remember one encounter in a Vancouver hotel elevator where one Canuck was teasing a pair of American visitors about their lack of universal healthcare. He was trying to be funny but it came across as rude and unCanadianlike and made for a very awkward 10-storey ride. I wanted to apologize to them, of course, but didn’t. However, according to the poll, we love our country and especially the maple leaf, which we will even wear on our underwear, which is mostly a good thing. We’ve got lots to be proud of. The poll also said that eight out of 10 Canucks thought Canadians could put more effort into showing their national pride. Right on. And today’s a perfect day to start waving the flag a little more. Happy Canada Day everyone.
When an emergency occurs, we expect help will arrive. But that could prove challenging for the dedicated volunteers of the BX-Swan Lake Fire Department who have literally had access to the public ripped up before them. Now it should be made abundantly clear that the City of Vernon needed to address drainage along Silver Star Road so the culvert and ditch work is absolutely welcome. But when the city was planning for the project, it should have realized that the BX-Swan Lake fire hall sits next to the road. With an alternating one lane open, firefighters heading to the hall for an emergency call could find themselves blocked by a long line of vehicles. Fire trucks could also experience challenges getting out on to the road and going to where they are needed. Adding to the headaches is city upgrades to Old Kamloops Road, the main access to much of the BX-Swan Lake department’s coverage area. Long before heavy equipment started ripping things up, the city should have been in direct contact with the department and determining access to the hall and neighbourhoods during emergency calls. Also needing to get on board is the Ministry of Transportation, which has no timeline to reopen East Vernon and Tillicum roads after they sustained some high water damage. A firm plan for that work needs to occur because those routes provide an efficient link for firefighters to many residences. But while the city and the ministry get their acts together and consult with BX firefighters, let’s hope response times aren’t hampered because of a traffic jam.

Waiting times not acceptable
O
n March 5, I was diagnosed and advised that I had a hernia that needed surgery. My physician advised me that there was a six-month wait for surgery. When I saw the surgeon a month or so later, I was advised that the wait time was now eight months. I was told that the wait time for surgery was exacerbated by a decision to close operating rooms in the older part of the hospital for a month due to and prior to the impending move to the Polson tower. I was also told that since the move, only four of seven operating rooms in the new tower are currently in use because of lack of funding by the government of B.C. Vernon Jubilee Hospital has been in constant conditions of overcrowding, of horrendous waits in the emergency department and nursing shortages that are so dire, they will affect the health of those currently employed. Representations have been made to complete PUBLIC SECTOR JOBS It is time Canada took a good, long look at public sector jobs and asked some long overdue questions. Why do they get paid so much? Why they can take so many paid holidays? Why they deserve such generous pensions and benefits compared to those in the private sector? The C.D. Howe Institute recently came out with a shadow budget that suggests Canada could eliminate our massive deficit in under four years with cuts to the public sector. Wow. Another observation made was that Canada's population increased by just 11 per cent in the last 10 years but public service jobs increased by 35 per cent with average pay cheques ballooning from $67,000 to $94,000. All of that with little oversight, self-paced performance and job security for life with early retirement golden handshakes by the score. To add insult to injury, many people agree that their forced dealings with many government agencies is sub par at best. I mean seriously people, we need to wake up and hold runaway government spending accountable.
the top two floors of the new tower, and since those representations, a two-year period of completion was predicted. I do not think the current waiting times fall within the federal guidelines for surgical procedures. Surely, funding for the opening of more surgical operating rooms and additional necessary nurses and technicians can be found to alleviate the pain and suffering of those waiting for surgery? That, in my submission, is a government obligation and responsibility. Further, it should be noted that the closing of operating rooms prior to the move to the new tower was a bureaucratic blunder. Surely, those highly-paid administrators within Vernon Jubilee Hospital and the Interior Health Authority should be accountable and open to an independent audit of that decision. The current situation is, and should be, an embarrassment to the current government. Norm Schulz
Let's demand fairness between the public and private sectors. Government employees' wages and pensions need to be rolled back immediately. Janet Chambers MAYORS PRAISED We owe a vote of thanks to Mayor Janice Brown of Spallumcheen, and the other 85 B.C. mayors who met in Penticton recently to try and solve the growing problem of increased municipal responsibilities and costs in the face of reduced federal/provincial funding. They should not judge themselves harshly for failing to find a solution. A billion-dollar global conference of the world’s greatest economists came to a similar impasse and for the same reason. We need to deal with the disease of a privately-controlled money system rather than be constantly enmeshed in the disease’s manifold symptoms. Once diagnosed the cure could be almost unbelievably simple and quick. Our system of debt-money creation by the sale of government bonds and debentures to private money lenders at compounding interest rates is, at its very source,
both fatally flawed and unconstitutional. It has caused our government debts to climb out of control and Canada will only recover its earlier greatness when our federal government returns to creating the nation’s money in a controlled and responsible way as it is indeed required to do under Section 91 of the Constitution Act. It did this at well under one per cent, employing the publicly owned Bank of Canada as originally intended, to help get us out of the Great Depression and to make possible the financing of the Second World War. It can and must do so again, and urgently, if we are to avoid the economic tsunami now threatening to overwhelm us. The reason Ottawa has had to cut back on provincial transfers is because the gross federal debt has now reached an astronomical $920 billion and the cost of servicing that private debt in 2011, according to StatsCan, amounted to $60 billion, the equivalent of $160 million a day. The province of B.C. has reduced funding to municipalities because, since 1995, provincial debt has increased by 165 per cent, from $27 billion to $45 billion and in 2011 cost B.C.
taxpayers $2 billion in interest and other bank charges. The collective annual cost of debt servicing for the 160 members of the Union of B.C. Municipalities – arranged exclusively via the Municipal Finance Authority on behalf of a private banking consortium – is estimated at well in excess of half-a-billion dollars. In the 42 years since the MFA’s inception, Vernon’s taxpayers alone have paid them more than $120 million in interest, a huge drain that has denied our community a vast array of badly-needed public amenities and community services. Borrowing privately at compound interest to fund municipal infrastructure is insane. It gets worse, but I believe I’ve covered the subject fully enough to expose the problem and offer a solution. Community Options Groups' goal is to encourage broad discussion at SILGA, UBCM and FCM. We are convinced that a movement toward a sustainable economic future can now only be seeded at community level since provincial and federal party politics has proven so divisive, corrupted and embarrassingly dys-
easy We are more than just print.

Council contemplating changes to lot density JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
While Coldstream lot sizes are traditionally larger than those in neighbouring communities, that could change. “One of the things this council may want to look at this term is densities,” said Mayor Jim Garlick. “In comparing other areas, all of their lot sizes are smaller than all of our lot sizes.” Lots in neighbouring communities, such as Vernon, are generally 700-880 square metres, while Coldstream’s average size is 1,200 square metres. “We have our chal-
lenges with water, sewer and transit and paying for things like that.” While it may not be a favourable option, Coldstream politicians are prepared to look at the options. “We should have the conversation about density and where,” said Coun. Doug Dirk. “We all know that densification is going to happen, it’s only a matter of time.” The need for discussion has been spurred by duplex applications in the district.

large part of the question we need to have with the residents of Coldstream.” A second duplex application related to the discussion involves a vacant lot at Westkal Road. “The intent when we bought this property in 2005 was to eventually build a duplex on it,” said owner Jeremy Frick. But changes were made in 2007 which restrict duplexes from being built on smaller lots. So while the zoning allows for a duplex, the .18 acre lot does not meet the size requirements. Council vetoed the staff recommendation to deny the application and would like to investigate its policies further. “Our lot sizes for duplexes are actually bigger than anybody elses,” said McClean. Coun. Richard Enns adds: “The possibility of having a duplex on this property should be

The City of Vernon wants more focus on early childhood education. Council has supported a public system of integrated early care and learning in B.C. as promoted by the Coalition of Child Care Advocates. “The idea is there will be more co-ordination between the Ministry of Education and early childhood education,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham. Opposition came from Coun. MaryJo O’Keefe, who says there needs to be more discussion about early childhood education. “We’re taking one paper and endorsing it as a community and that isn’t participating in the debate,” she said.

Replant funds delayed for year JUDIE STEEVES Black Press
Okanagan growers learned Tuesday from the government that funds announced in May to re-start the replant assistance program will not be available until 2013. Kirpal Boparai, president of the B.C. Fruit Growers Association, says that means that none of the $2 million announcement in May will actually reach growers’ hands until a year from September, a fact which could be the last straw for some farmers, who are already in a weakened financial state because of a poor market for apples. “Some could go out of business, especially if they believed the replant program would go ahead when government announced it,” he said. “The money is just sitting there, but they won’t go ahead until next year,” he said. The $2 million would provide about $7,000 per acre towards the estimated cost of $25,000 to $30,000 per acre to replant an apple orchard, or about 30 per cent of the total cost, he said. BCFGA general manager Glen Lucas said a quick survey of growers who have enquired about the program indicated that about 37 have replanted this year, expecting there would be a replant program available for some assistance this year. He said they would have based that on rec-

Boparai said as soon as they learned the new program was not to be started until next year, they lobbied government to begin it immediately, but Tuesday the final answer came back negative. “This was just a glamourous announcement for the public. We have nothing,” he added. “They are penalizing young people for spending money to replant and now they discover they are not eligible,” he said. “They got farmers’ hopes up and now they’ve let them down.”

Estate Litigation
Boating under the influence (BUI) continues to be a leading contributing factor in boating fatalities (Canadian Red Cross report on recreation boating, 2011). This is why local marine law enforcement officers are gearing up to
participate in Operation Dry Water 2012, a campaign focused on enforcement of BUI and educating all boaters to the risks of operating a boat under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. Okanagan and Shuswap area officers will be out in force through-
out the Canada Day long weekend and summer season checking for safe boating compliance and looking for boaters whose blood alcohol content (BAC) exceeds the federal limit of 0.08. Boaters can expect to see boat ramp safety checkpoints and increased on-water patrols, including breathalyzer tests when required. Penalties for an impaired boater can be severe, including having their boat seized, with possible arrest and charges under the Criminal Code for impaired operation and under the Canada Shipping Act for careless operation of a vessel.
“We intend to take intoxicated boaters off the lake and to reach out to as many people as possible about the hazards of boating under the influence,” said spokesperson Gord Molendyk. A boat operator or even passengers with a blood alcohol concentration above the legal limit run a significantly increased risk of being involved in a fatal boating accident. When impaired by alcohol, boating accidents are more probable and more deadly for both passengers and boat operators, many of whom capsize their vessel or simply fall overboard.
“Boating is a safe and enjoyable pastime when people stay alert and follow the rules, including having a proper and sober lookout at times to prevent collisions,” said Molendyk. With the current high water levels and potential for shoreline erosion, boaters are also minded to be mindful of their boat wake and its effect on lake and river banks. Sgt. Josh Lockwood of the conservation officer service warns, “we will be actively enforcing the 10 km/hr speed restriction within 30 meters of shore on interior lakes during our vessel patrols this long weekend.”

Morning Star sports editor Kevin Mitchell (left) and local broadcaster (Pistol) Pete McIntyre (right) talk hockey with the legendary Howie Meeker at a Special Olympics breakfast. by being a target in a shootin’ gallery. God bless ‘em. They’re crazy but it’s spoiled the game.” As for his golf game, Howie tossed his woods away four or five years ago and now hits a two-iron with success. “I start the year with 12 balls and I end up with 14 or 15 so I’m not losing too many.” He’s not a huge fan of Hockey Night in Canada’s Don Cherry. Local broadcaster (Pistol) Pete McIntyre, who joined me in an interview session with Meeker at a Special Olympics breakfast at Swan Lake Nurseryland, asked Howie if Cherry’s time is up. “Nobody can give him advice so as long as he wants to stay there, let him stay there. I don’t watch him. I admire him for what he does. He’s got a circus act going, him and his buddy (Ron MacLean) and he’s got a great following but I wanna know what’s going on out on the ice, I don’t wanna know about his buddies and all this other baloney. I don’t think he’s done anything for the game of hockey, but he’s done well for himself.”
Jones makes Vernon stop Art Jones, who was the Wayne Gretzky of the old pro Western Hockey League, didn’t think much of Cherry as an opponent. “All he could do was talk,” said Jones, who won six scoring titles, two league MVPs and three Lester Patrick Cups with the Portland Buckaroos. In town two weeks ago to visit family in Vernon (his nephew is Murray Fairweather) and golf at Spallumcheen, Jones set a WHL record in 1970 with 127 points. A Saskatoon native, Jones
came out west to play senior hockey for the Spokane Flyers, who lost a playoff series to the 1956 Allan Cup champion Vernon Canadians, coached by George Agar. “George asked me to come play for them,” recalled Jones, over a soda pop at Tim Hortons in the Landing. “They had a good skating team and their goalie was pretty good.” In Portland, Jones made a career-high $25,000 in his best seasons with the Buckaroos outbidding the NHL Montreal Canadiens for his services. He spent 14 years with Portland after two years with the New Westminster Royals and one season with the Victoria Cougars. “It was a good living,” said Jones, 77, a father of four and grandfather of nine. “I had a good time. It’s been a good life, a lot of laughs.” Jones played in Portland with the likes of Pat Stapleton, Jack Bionda, Connie Madigan, Patty Ginnell, Dale Rolfe, Dennis Kearns and Jerry Korab. Many of the Buckaroos never left Portland, where the Major Junior Winterhawks recognize Jones and crew. “They have a night for us every year and it’s their biggest night in attendance,” said Jones, who remains close buddies with Buckaroo teammates Arnie Schmautz and Gord Fashoway. “We don’t get to watch the game. All we do is sign autographs.” Jones, who built houses for a few years after the pro WHL loop folded in 1974, is now into horses as he works as head supervisor of parimutuals at Portland Meadows five days a week. His wife, Jill, remains his No. 1 fan. Art is a big college football fan, loving the Oregon Ducks’ no-huddle offence.

Rodeo foursome headed stateside GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Three custom saddles, two pairs of cowboy boots and a silver belt buckle – Westwold’s Cole Churchill is one decked out cowboy. Add in $750 in scholarship money and 2011-12 was a bit of a breakout year for the Grade 10 Pleasant Valley secondary student. The stellar results on the B.C. high school circuit also mean he heads to Rock Springs, Wyo. for the 64th annual National High School Finals Rodeo (NHSFR), July 15-21. Churchill will be joined by the North Okanagan Rodeo Club’s Scott Day of Vernon and sisters Evangeline and Celeste Windmill of Coldstream at the event. With more than 1,500 competitors from 41 states, five provinces, and even some from Australia, NHSFR is the largest rodeo on the planet. Up for grabs will be $200,000 in prizes, plus an extra $350,000 in scholarships. Churchill, riding his 10-year-old bay roan, Cowboy, earned his ticket stateside by winning both the tie-down roping and steer wrestling events at the B.C. high school championships recently in Williams Lake. He added a seventh-place finish in team roping and was reserve champion in saddle bronc riding in a the competition that featured the top-12 cowboys and cowgirls from both the north and south of the province. The year’s stellar results earned him Top AllRound Cowboy. And his mount’s contribution didn’t go unnoticed as Cowboy was named Horse of the Year. Churchill says Cowboy’s easy-going demeanor make him a treat to work with. “He’s really calm; you have to make sure he’s awake sometimes,” laughed Churchill, who started
his rodeo career at age four, working his way up from Little Britches. “He just works really good. I got him off my cousin; he trained him and he just knows his job good and we get along good.” Growing up in cowboy-centric Westwold, rodeo was a natural fit for Churchill, whose parents are former competitors. “It’s pretty easy out here,” he said. “We have our own arena and I can go for rides up the hill right beside my house. It’s pretty much every day we’re doing rodeo. I usually miss one day a week.” Churchill credits his second cousin, Clayton Moore, a pro rodeo cowboy from Pouce Coupe, B.C. (he is fourth in steer wrestling and 15th in tie-down roping on the CPRA money list), for teaching him the craft. Steer wrestling and tie-down roping are the events Churchill will compete in in Wyoming, the latter being his favourite event. “I have a horse makes that if fun and there’s so many different aspects to it that you have to know,” he said. “When they come together it just feels pretty cool.” After Wyoming, Churchill will compete at Canadian high school finals, Aug. 2-4 in Virden, Man. Evangeline qualified for B.C. finals in goat tying, earning the season leader buckle, and was sixth in breakaway roping. In Williams Lake, she was first overall, earning $150 and a saddle she gets to customize from Todd Slone Saddlery. She also earned a pair of Cinch jeans as well as a $250 event leader scholarship from Sunshine Riding. The 20-year-old is thrilled to have made the NHSFR in her final year of eligibility.

The Armstrong Shamrocks needed a win to secure home-floor advantage for the first round of the Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League playoffs, and it took the full 60 minutes to get it. Darren Kirby collected the shorthanded winner in the dying seconds as the Rocks brushed back the Kamloops Rattlers 10-9 at Nor-Val Sports Centre to secure second place in the four-team loop. Armstrong, who finished at 7-5, opens the bestof-three Shaw Cup semifinal series against the 6-6 Rattlers Wednesday night (8:00) at Nor-Val. Goals by Steve Clark and Braydon Sanders pegged the Rocks a 2-0 lead, but the Rattlers’ Nate Woldum went post-and-in on the powerplay to cut the lead to one before the intermission. With Armstrong down a man to start the second period, goalie Chad Pieper sprung Junior call-up Brett Hawrys with a stretch pass, which he converted with an all-world fake and shot to increase the Shamrock lead. Both teams then opened up on offence, with the Rattlers getting goals from Woldum, Russ McIntosh and Ethan Anderson, and Hawrys, call-up Owen Barker, Brett Heitman and Kirby responding for the hosts. Kamloops took advantage of some undisciplined play by Armstrong in the third period, sniping man-advantage goals by Mark Jurista and McIntosh. Jarrett Medhurst answered for Armstrong, but Kamloops kept coming, with McIntosh, Anderson and Liam Haggerty scoring to take a 9-8 lead with six minutes to play.
The Rocks equalized on Medhurst’s second of the night. The play went back and forth for the next few minutes, and with 1:16 to play, Sanders was assessed a slashing penalty. Armstrong outshot Kamloops 52-43, and took 53 penalty minutes to the Rattlers’ 30. In other Senior C men’s action Thursday night, the Kelowna Raiders hit the 10-win mark as they stopped the Vernon Tigers 16-11 at Wesbild Centre. Kelowna (10-2) raced out to a 6-1 first-period lead and never looked back. Chris Phillips, who ended with five goals and three assists, and Taylor Trotter each collected a deuce in the first frame. Kyle Point had Vernon’s lone tally. Brennan Plante, Kirk Krause, Robbie Short and Junior Tiger call-up Theo Wagner jumpstarted Vernon’s offence in the second period, but Doug Manning’s Raiders added seven goals in the period to take a 13-5 lead into the break. Plante added a third-period hat trick, Ryan Minchenko supplied a pair and Krause a single to round out Vernon’s attack. Short chipped in with six helpers, Krause recorded five and Tony Minchenko had three.

Kickers win WOMEN’S SOCCER Morning Star Staff
The OMG Chick Kickers outlasted the Randy Rockets 2-1 in women’s Tier 2 soccer action Thursday night at Marshall Field #5. Ashley Smith led off the Kickers’ scoring with a run down the middle and a hard shot. The second goal came from speedy striker Sue Bowler after a beautiful cross-field curver from midfielder Erica August. Game MVP went to Cara Main for nonstop runs up the wing and defending on the right side. Great support up front was given by Janelle Woods and Jackie Main. Sunterra Custom Homes Sistas and NOU played to a 2-2 draw at Marshall Field #4. Deanna Baker scored both goals for the Sistas, one from an indirect free kick in the 18. Madison Demers touched it to Baker who blasted it home. Then after receiving a through ball from Crystal Flasch, Baker pinged one in off the post to make it 2-0. Sydney Creed made several key saves for the Sistas, while Tania Wirachowsky hit the post and put a header just over the bar. Lesley Williams filled in a variety of positions and props also went to Sharina Zantingh on outside mid and Jennie Currie as sweeper. In men’s over 50s soccer play, Summerland stopped the Silver Stars 3-1 and Penticton slammed Kal Tire 7-1.

Attention!
Who knew grass could cause such a concern! Spear Grass: Most commonly found in the hills, meadows and ditches where a plough has never touched. The grass is a tall whitish-yellow plant that stands out amongst the green of the later developing native grasses. The culprits of this plant are the seed awns that are barbed. As we take our four legged friend for a stroll these grass awns can act as hitchhikers. Since they are barbed, as the dog moves the awn itself moves, and can easily penetrate skin. Areas in between the toes, in the ears, “armpits” and the groin are the most common places to find spear grass. Since the awn can migrate and lodge into the skin/ears foreign body infections could result. For best prevention inspect your dog after each and every walk and discourage him or her from chewing the grasses. If you see a seed or barb stuck into the skin, carefully pull it out making sure not to break it off. If your pet continually shakes their head or if you see a raised or infected area, spear grass may be the reason. Visit your veterinarian if you have any concerns. — Dr. Miles Latwat DVM

Longtime Vernon residents Tony and Edna Kuhn celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary on July 8, 2012. They first met when Edna was 13 and Tony was 20. Edna’s dad operated a small cable ferry across the Wapiti River near Wembley, Alta. In 1947 Tony started crossing the Wapiti to work in the logging camps south of Grande Prairie. He took little notice of the cute, tomboyish girl hanging around the ferry with her dad. She was, after all, just a kid. Over the years, as the logging seasons came and went, a flame was lit and in 1952 they tied the knot in Grande Prairie. She was 18; he was 25. They tried a short stint on the Kuhn family farm outside Fort Saskatchewan, Alta but the forests of B.C. called to Tony. In 1953 they headed west to camps in the Canoe Valley near Valemount. In 1954 Tony and Edna welcomed their first child, Kathryn. It was time to move the family to town. Town was Valemount, B.C. with a population of fewer than 300 people. Tony and Edna had two more children while living in Valemount. Their only son Elwood
The logger and the ferryman’s daughter celebrate 60 years together. Tony and Edna Kuhn: married July 8, 1952. was born in 1955 and their second daughter Carol in 1959. By the time the third child had come along, Tony had also formed a partnership with another lumberman and owned his own sawmill. In the spring of 1965 the logging of the Canoe Valley was nearly complete and Tony and Edna decided to move the sawmill to the forests above Field near Golden. The family moved to Golden in the fall of ‘65. The two years Tony and Edna lived in Golden proved to be the most challenging of their lives together. There seemed no end of trag-
edy, including the death of their beloved son following a New Year’s Day accident in 1966, and the destruction of Tony’s sawmill by fire the following year. After two years of struggle they decided to take a chance and move to a place they had often visited and where they had long dreamed of living. Vernon became home in the summer of 1967. Tony started work at Alcan, where he stayed until his retirement, and Edna worked at Eaton’s. Over the years the couple travelled extensively including a special trip in 1978 to visit
England, Germany and Tony’s homeland in Yugoslavia. After retirement they took to the road and roamed over much of the west coast of the U.S. and down to the southwest. They travelled across Canada and made many trips to Mexico and Hawaii. They even ventured as far as the Canary Islands. But they always came back to the place they love — Vernon. They are both active members of their church, Trinity United. Tony and Edna belong to the Knights of Pythias and Pythian Sisters respectively and they have both given much of themselves in volunteer work over the years for the Vernon Jubilee
Hospital Auxiliary and other organizations. They have two surviving children and six grandchildren. Kathryn (Aberle) and her husband Stephen Aberle live in Vancouver. Their children Ben (28) and Rachel (26) also live there. Carol (Velon) and her husband Cameron Robertson live in Vernon. Their children Jennifer Robertson (24,) Zac Velon (24), Emily Velon (22) and Devon Robertson (21) live in various parts of Canada. Tony and Edna will celebrate this milestone with family on July 7 and will serve an anniversary cake to friends following the church service at Trinity United on July 8.
It’s a gift to be Canadian
H
appy Canada Day! And although celebrations across Canada are as diverse as the people in this country, a common theme emerges. We aren’t just happy to be living here, we are jubilant and willing to show it. Travelling this country makes me so appreciative and Pat Black proud to be part of this diverse, colourful and accepting country, to know that to be Canadian is truly a gift, whether it is given to us by birth or choice, we are all lucky to be here. Amen. I was delighted to read about the first meeting of the newly constituted Accessibility Committee of the City of Vernon. Some of us have been lobbying for such a committee for a long time, mostly in response to the many stories of neglect and discouragement people with disabilities, including many seniors, face on a daily basis. We felt that the best way
PERSONAL BEST
to respond to the challenges of providing accessibility for all was to have the input of local people who have disabilities and their supporters, with direct access to City Council and so we requested that this committee be established. Not all seniors have disabilities and many have excellent physical and mental capacities and need not rely on services or help from others. However for other seniors, mostly those over 70, mobility issues are a giant obstacle to good mental health and life satisfaction. Indeed one of the major issues identified by those working with seniors is the constant problem of providing transportation for seniors with mobility issues. So the institution of this Accessibility Committee is a paramount step forward for all citizens and our current Council should be commended for taking this initiative. One of the major worries in our aging process is the fear of losing our cognitive abilities. You know, when we can’t remember a name, or where we put our keys, or in a moment of stress, even our own
phone numbers. It is something we are all apprehensive about and immediately think a symptom of Alzheimer’s. Not to worry, according to a report on Healthy Aging from Dr. Nicole Anderson of the Baycrest Centre in Toronto, ranked among the top neuroscience programs in the world. Anderson says that not all aspects of memory are affected by aging. We continue to acquire knowledge as we get older although accessing specific information becomes trickier and the more we practise physical skills like playing an instrument, or doing crossword puzzles, the better we will get. She points out that it is important to know what memory slips are normal and what is not. It is normal to forget a person’s name but not to forget your spouse’s name. It is OK to get lost in unfamiliar places but not in frequently attended locations. It is important to remember that most older adults do not develop dementia and live cognitively healthy lives.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’re someone who must have purpose to your life. In order to feel gratified, get involved in meaningful objectives that make you feel you’ve done something worthwhile. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) It’s not surprising that you need some variety in life at times, and it might be one of those days. If you find yourself bored, initiate doing something different with friends. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Although it may be up to you to design the blueprint for finalizing a matter that meets everyone’s desires, you’ll have all the knowhow to do so right at your fingertips. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Ideas and concepts that are significant to you are also relevant to persons with whom you are involved, so consult each and every party before putting anything into action. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) If your financial picture looks secure at this moment in time, it’s OK to go ahead and do something worthwhile that makes you happy. In fact, make it a priority. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Independence is always of utmost importance to you, so don’t allow anybody to plan an agenda for you if you can help it. Do what you want when you want to do it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be party to events, but don’t try to manipulate everything. You would be so much happier allowing matters to unfold as they will, letting things take their own course. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) If you’ve had a yen lately to touch base with two friends in particular, it would be nice if you
could make this possible. Try to do what you can to arrange things. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) If someone throws down the gauntlet, you’re not likely to ignore the challenge. Your competitive spirit is more easily aroused than usual today and you’ll take the bait. ARIES (March 21-April 19) In order to satisfy both your mental and physical restlessness, some type of rigorous activity will be required. Do something fun, such as swimming or hitting the tennis court. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Although you rather enjoy being a loner at times, you might do yourself some good if you get involved in a few joint endeavors. Operate where you feel the most fulfilled. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Try to bring better balance into your life if you can, by taking stock of your recent affairs or activities, for example. If you’ve been working too hard, get out and have some fun.
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.

WE’RE S E Y OPEN! Pardon the Inconvenience while we are Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder THE ULTIMATE IN SPOT-CARD LUNACY? Gertrude Jekyll, an influential British garden designer, writer and artist who died in 1932, said, “There is no spot of ground, however arid, bare or ugly, that cannot be tamed into such a state as may give an impression of beauty and delight.” To finish our week of looking at spot-card plays, this ugly deal may provide beauty and delight. The auction given is sane, but let’s assume South has been shown all four hands and is challenged to win all 13 tricks. How should he play after West leads the spade queen? That South hand is a tad good for a two-no-trump opening, but a tad weak for
two clubs followed by two no-trump. South must win two spades, three hearts (with two finesses), four diamonds (with one finesse) and four clubs (with one finesse). To take four finesses, declarer needs four dummy entries. Two are apparent: the aces. The other two must be “manufactured.” At trick two, South leads the club seven -- his secondlowest -- to dummy’s ace, then plays a club to his jack. Next, he leads the diamond nine -- his second-lowest -to dummy’s ace, then plays a diamond to his jack. He cashes the club king and leads the carefully preserved club four to dummy’s six. Then he takes a heart finesse. He cashes the diamond king and leads the carefully preserved
diamond seven to dummy’s eight. Then he takes a second heart finesse and accepts the plaudits of partner. By the way, Gertrude Jekyll’s younger brother, the Rev. Walter Jekyll, was a friend of Robert Louis Stevenson, who borrowed the family name for his famous novella “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.”

Vernon can tune into a spectacle for the eyes and ears at Sunday’s Canada Day fireworks finale. It will be an ambitious undertaking this year as a fully choreographed event featuring over 700 effects is being attempted. The display is set to go off between 10:15 and 10:30 p.m. at the DND grounds to the tune of five songs on 107.5 KISS FM, broadcast by Funtastic. “Fireworks updates can be heard on 107.5 KISS FM, so bring along a radio or crank up your vehicle’s sound system and make sure to listen to the choreographed musical accompaniment,” said Terry Schmauder, fireworks committee. Weather will be the only deterrent, but organizers are keeping their fingers crossed that any storms hold off until after the show. “Wind is of particular concern as safety regulations allow for a maximum wind veloc-

Morning Star Staff
There’s a unique opportunity to collect birch bark baskets created by Splatsin elders. Members of the Kia7as (Grandmothers) group are taking bids until July 6 on baskets made from birch bark and cedar roots. “The birch bark can only be collected while the sap is moving from late May and early June until the weather turns hot in July,� said Rosalind Williams, with the Splatsin language and cultural program. “Each piece of bark is worked into shape and stitched together with the cedar roots and can take one to two days to complete a medium-sized basket.� The grandmothers represent the handful of remaining fluent speakers of the eastern Splatsin dialect of the Secwepemctsin (Shuswap) language. They have been passing their knowledge on to other members of the Splatsin First Nation, and

Students strive to be Young Citizens CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Faith Jackson knew members of her father’s and mother’s families had attended residential schools. She didn’t know much about what the actual experience was like so she made it the topic of her Heritage Fair presentation. Then Okanagan Heritage Fair co-ordinator Pat Simmons suggested she enter the Young Citizens Heritage Project, which lets students digitally share historic milestones that matter most to them. Jackson, a Grade 6 student at BX Elementary School, chose to interview her grandmother and aunts and uncles about their experiences in residential schools. “I had an idea of how I wanted to create the video and I had done some claymation in school so I knew how to use the camera,� she said. As a member of the Burns Lake band, she had to go to Prince George to do the video interviews with family members. “My grandmother and aunts thought it was a good idea to get the news to the public that it wasn’t all bad. My aunt had a good experience because she had dyslexia and she learned to read and write. She was able to protect some of the little kids,� said Jackson. “The negatives that came out were about the food and how they treated the kids. There was a lot of abuse and it still affects the — Faith children that generation had because they didn’t get the parenting skills. I learned a lot more about Canada’s history with the mistake of creating residential schools and the families’ experiences and what happened after that.� She was able to include photos of the Kamloops residential school and old family photos in the three-minute video which she put together by herself. “It turned out really well, I think. When we first saw it, it was really emotional for me and my family to watch it because it brought back at lot of memories for them,� she said. “I think what I learned about making videos is that you don’t put your own priority or expectations too high. You never know how it’s going to go. What you imagine in your head is not what is going to appear

I still really enjoy the video every time I watch it. It’s a reminder of what good things can come from getting involved in the heritage fair and things like Young Citizens. And I got a video camera recorder.� Jackson expects to enter the heritage fair again (it’s for students in Grades 4 to 10). She has an idea about the traditions and languages of all the people who make up Canada. Her video is on the Internet at www. YoungCitizens.ca. Four local stuJackson dents were selected at the sixth annual Okanagan Regional Heritage Fair to participate in Young Citizens by making videos about their heritage community. They are Jackson; Cameron FraserMonroe, a Grade 7 Harwood student; Cole Strilchuk, a Grade 5 Kidston student; and Nicholas Tiourine, a Grade 6 Silver Star student. The student videos are now online at www.canadashistory.ca/YoungCitizens/ Profiles/2012. Voting continues Aug.7. Only one vote per email address is allowed. The link can also be found at www.vernonmuseum.ca. The top two videos in each province and territory, plus an additional six videos selected by Canada’s History judges will go

That we can move easily from province to province. There are many great roads to drive on in Canada, locally the drive from Vernon to Penticton is gorgeous, the Coquihalla system offers breathtaking vistas and the drive from here to Banff is stunning. Driving on the Confederation Bridge from P.E.I. to New Brunswick made me somewhat nervous and yet amazed at that engineering feat.

resolution was accepted by the provincial government and became effective June 4. This means that the soft lenses will be used rather than the former hard lenses. Previously, people who required cataract surgery and wanted the soft lenses had to buy them at a cost ranging from $210 to $500. The cost of the standard hard lens was not deducted from this amount. The soft foldable monofocal lenses will now be provided for all cataract surgeries. The health authorities will also be offering specialty lenses, such as multifocals, at reduced prices with the patient paying only the cost difference between the lens they choose and
the standard lens. “This is very important because it will improve the quality of care with smaller incisions and less chance of infection. The hard lens goes back to the 1980s and it was time to keep up with today’s technology,” said Ed Tanaka, Vernon Seniors Branch member. “Since when were the eyes not part of the human body? If you get a hip replacement, do you pay for your ball and socket?” Annual membership in the Vernon Seniors Branch is $10 and being a member, even if a person is not able to be active at the time, helps the organization by showing community support. Meetings are held the third Tuesday of the month at 1:30 p.m. (except July and August) at the Schubert Centre. For more information call Tanaka at 250-5453552.

Grads ready to help in Haiti Morning Star Staff
Two Grade 12 graduates at Kalamalka Secondary have a busy summer ahead of them. Azura Kines and Olivia Trepanier are heading to Haiti in July to help rebuild the Ca-Ira Orphanage, destroyed in the 2010 earthquake that devastated the country. “I feel like this is the best after-grad adventure I could possibly have. I get a mix of a vacation and a new experience,” said Kines. “It means a lot to me that, being from Canada where we are so fortunate, we can go into a country that is seriously hurting and have the ability to make an impact on the people

Classes help youth to look inwards CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
They teach for their own mentors, the children they are with in the moment and for what those children will bring to the future of the arts. Angel Roy and Matt Brown bring their experience and enthusiasm to two performing/visual arts/media arts camps this summer. Roy leads her annual Kamp Kindness Natural Expressions Camp with Brown and teacher-actor Paul Rossetti as co-leaders. The Urban Expressions Camp takes place at the Hub in downtown Vernon, led by Brown with Roy, and sound engineer/producer/songwriter Moot Hunsicker. “There’s a little performer in all of us. We all crave attention and accreditation but we are fearful that what we are going to put forward won’t be acceptable. I have seen that performer come through in every kid,” said Brown, owner of the Hub and an actor/ teacher. A child finding a personal creative centre does not necessarily mean being the star on stage. The camps are structured so the children experience every part of making a public production. They might find that they shine at stage design, filming, movement and drama or any of the other essential parts of the production. “We create the environment and it’s up to the children how it goes. It’s all childdirected,” said Roy, whose background is in early childhood education, dancing and drumming. “I took drumming to become a better dancer and got into drumming. As teachers, we are the messengers in facilitating the

Drumming will be one of the creative outlets presented to local youth during two camps hosted by Angel Roy and Matt Brown this summer. experience for the children. When I teach, I think about what I learned from my teachers and I learn from my students. Their spontaneous activity is so exciting.” Hunsicker will be working with the media arts part of the camps. “It’s important for youth to learn art to learn about themselves. Did you know that on the Canadian $20 bill, there is the quote, ‘Could we ever know each other in the slightest without the arts?’” he said. “I’ll be teaching a recording and video
workshop and some film animation and song writing. It’s not just about the art, it’s about learning how to be, how to thrive and to be self-confident.” Brown, the father of two, ages six and nine, is happy to bring the Hub into program. “I can relate to children having the freedom of expressing themselves in an artistic way. When I was a kid, I had the opportunity to be on stage at an early age and that bug stayed with me,” he said.
“We plant the seed and nurture it to grow. You have no idea what that seed will grow into in 10 years. There is a role for everyone and those roles are fulfilled and everyone feels equally validated and successful. Sometimes we see the kids later and see that they are using what they learned in the arts and in other areas of life. “It is important in an artistic community that artists sometimes walk beside each other, sometimes take the time to sit and watch the other person walk and other times take the time to teach the other person to walk. That’s how we all grow. There are lots of great artistic circles in Vernon and the artists support each other. There is so much we can do together,” said Brown. At the end of the camp the children do an art installation and stage a production with profits going to a local charity. There will also be a DVD available. Urban Expression at the Hub takes place with two sessions, July 9 to 13 and July 16 to 20 for ages five and up from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Additional hours, early drop-off or late pick-up are available. Registration is through The Hub at 778-475-6244, www. thehubartscollective.com or Ticket Seller at 250-549-7469. Natural Expression Kamp Kindness takes place Aug. 7 to 10 (ages five to nine) and Aug. 13 to 16 (ages seven to 12) at the Lakers clubhouse on Cummings Road, next to Marshall Field. The time is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with extended hours for additional childcare available. Registration is through angela@expression.bc.ca, 250-212-7594, www.expression. bc.ca or Ticket Seller at 250-549-7469.
Local wins Victoria contest Morning Star Staff
Hands of Time by Vernon native Crystal Przybille is the winning submission to the City of Victoria’s national, juried public art competition. The goal of the competition was to create artwork that celebrates and acknowledges Victoria’s 150th anniversary of incorporation. Hands of Time is a series of 12 bronze sculptures depicting life-size hands engaged in activities representative of Victoria’s past, installed at various downtown locations. “Having the opportunity to actualize my concept for Victoria’s sesquicentennial artwork is deeply gratifying,” said Przybille, who lives in Kelowna. “The artwork will be simultaneously classical and progressive, designed to engage the pub-
lic’s imagination, while it expresses and nurtures Victoria’s identity.” Each pair of three-dimensional hands will be unique, varying in culture, age and gender, and will tell a story about a downtown location. The artist has proposed specific sites for each sculpture, however, final site selections will be determined during production in collaboration with city staff. Installation is scheduled for the fall. Przybille was one of more than 80 artists from across Canada who responded to the call to artists. Sixteen semi-finalists were selected, from which four artists were invited to submit a maquette and a detailed proposal. The budget for the artworks is $100,000.

S
et in 10th century Scotland, Brave is the tale of Princess Merida (voiced by Kelly McDonald). Her mother, Eilnor (Emma Thompson) has been teaching Merida the duties of being a princess, while her father (Billy Connolly) has been rousing the clans to find a suitable suitor for her hand in marriage. Young Merida has her own ideas on who, and if, she should even marry.

Capsule Comments with
IAN JOHNSTONE For the Olympic games starting in London later this month, the British team has been told to avoid hand shaking with fellow participants and others. Since keeping healthy is of prime importance, they are just trying to minimize the chances of their athletes getting sick. Hand sanitizers will certainly be much in use. One of the myths concerning sun exposure is that dark skinned people don’t need sunscreen protection. In the U.S., rates of skin cancers are on the rise in African American and Hispanics so skin of all colours needs protection from the sun. The word steroid often conjures up a negative image but this class of chemicals is owing through our bodies naturally. Cholesterol is a building block for hormones. Cortisol comes from the kidneys and regulates energy and immune function. Sex hormones like testosterone and estrogens regulate sexual function. Steroids are also found in medications that may help many conditions. Prednisone is a powerful oral steroid which is an anti-inammatory to treat many conditions like severe rheumatoid arthritis. Steroids are also found in inhalers, enemas and skin creams. These products are very helpful in patients with asthma, inammatory bowel conditions like Crohn’s disease and severe skin rashes. Prescribed steroids can be extremely effective. Part of our job as your pharmacist is to ensure you know about the drugs you are taking ‌ what they will do for you and any side effects to watch out for. Make our pharmacist, your pharmacist.

Great reading
W
ith warm weather finally here (hopefully for a while), it’s time to head to the beach, cabin, campsite or just the deck, to relax and enjoy a good book. If you don’t have the time or energy to search for great reading, the Sunday edition of The Times, London’s revered newspaper, has come to the rescue. A guide to the 100 best Maureen Curry summer reads is included in the most recent issue, (which the Vernon branch receives every week). While some titles are only available in the U.K., many are in Okanagan Regional Library’s collection. Here is a sampling: NON-FICTION Midnight in Peking by Paul French. The gripping true-life mystery of a young British woman’s murder in Peking in 1937 and her father’s search for justice. What a Plant Knows by Daniel Chamovitz. This guide to plants’ sensory abilities is both surprising and great fun to read. Forgotten Land by Max Egremont. A beautifully written historical journey into the vanished world of East Prussia. Explorers of the Nile by Tim Jeal. A thrilling account of the stories of Burton, Speke, Livingstone, Stanley www.powerhousetheatre.net
OFF THE SHELF
and their quests for the source of the Nile. All Hell Let Loose by Max Hastings. Mixing epic sweep with striking detail, this magnificent history is the definitive single-volume account of the Second World War. Mrs. Robinson’s Disgrace by Kate Summerscale. From the author of The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher, the engrossing story of a scandalous Victoria divorce case. FICTION The Chemistry of Tears by Peter Carey. A quest for a 19th-century mechanical swan lies at the heart of this richly layered tale from the double Booker winner. Nightwoods by Charles Frazier. This gripping account of a woman under threat in rural Carolina is the finest novel to date from the author of Cold Mountain. Land of Decoration by Grace McCleen. A bold debut about a 10-year-old girl growing up in a religious sect, who escapes harsh realities by building a miniature world in her bedroom. Misery Bay by Steve Hamilton. Assured pacing and an odd-couple double act, along with the feel of a Scandinavian crime novel, distinguish this first-rate thriller set in the Great Lakes. The Stranger’s Child by Alan Hollinghurst. Opening in 1913, this brilliantly written novel unrolls an almost century-long cavalcade of changing social, sexual and cultural attitudes.

Fermco’s 40th anniversary goes to the dogs GRAEME CORBETT Business Editor
Vernon’s Fermco Rental & Sales didn’t have to look far for tents when they hosted the company’s 40th anniversary Saturday. It was a good thing, too, as visitors needed shelter from the heavy rain showers throughout the afternoon. Fermco, located next to Okanagan Spring Brewery, employs a staff of 13 and provides rental services for anything from home projects to construction equipment to party supplies. “Anything from sleeping in it to building with it, we rent it,” smiled Fermco’s Heidi Rowlands, who has operated the
company with her partner Rod Ferris for the last 14 years. It was a bittersweet occassion for the duo; Rod’s dad, Roy, who founded the company in 1972, died last year. As well, their beloved shop dog, Keesha, a 14-year-old husky, died last month. Making the most of a sad situation, Rowlands and Rod decided to make the anniversary celebration a charity event for the SPCA. “In her (Keesha’s) honour, we’re trying to raise enough money to donate a brand new Honda lawn mower, with warranty, to the SPCA,” said Rowlands, who also has a pair of cats, Cubs and Scrubs, patrolling the shop. Sara’s Ruff House was on hand to offer pet nail clip-
ping by donation, and through other fundraising efforts, Fermco raised $1,200 over the weekend, enough to donate the mower. They are now looking to donate a weed eater to the SPCA. Also on location Saturday were Sun FM, Bounce Hire bouncy castle, and reps from Honda and the SPCA, to go along with prizes, dunk tank and a barbecue. “I can’t say enough about the wonderful support we’ve had from the community on this,” said Rowlands. “They’ve been very good and just made it all come together.” Anyone wanting to make a donation to the SPCA on behalf of Keesha can call (250) 542-4331.
Image consultant offers feel-good approach to find true self CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Whether they think about it or not, everyone has an image. “Image includes physical appearance and clothes, business and social etiquette and verbal and non-verbal communication skills,” said Kirsti Kirkness, owner of Kirkness Image Kristi Kirkness Consulting. “The image a person projects starts to
form early from what they are exposed to and see and how people speak and react to them.” Sometimes, a person’s image may not reflect who they really are because they have changed, or because they are not sure how to present themselves. “I help my clients figure out who they are and create the image that fits their personal and professional goals,” said Kirkness, who works with individuals and business groups. “There is an art and a science to it which considers clothing shape, colour, a person’s
activities and their ideal image. “Sometimes people are hesitant to change because it is easier to continue to do the same thing even if it is not what they want. Or, they find too many faults with themselves and think they can't change, but it is amazing to see the difference in confidence when someone puts on a well-fitted outfit in a flattering colour. Then they can think about the other changes.” Kirkness finds that one of her most popular services is personal shopping, where she finds the most suitable clothes (she can usually do this locally) and the client then
tries them on at home or work and makes a selection. “If you put something on and it doesn’t look good, it's the clothing, not your body,” she said. “I find people often want new clothes for special or seasonal activities or when there are changes in their lives like a new job or change in weight. “Others find, and I know I find, that when I take the time to take care of myself, I feel better and more capable of looking after others. We have to focus on what we need as well.”

Donning a protective face shield, gloves and thick clothing, Vernon’s Carrie Abbott looks more like an industrial tradesman than an artist when she works. It’s a job prerequisite for a residential and commercial sandblasting artist, and it’s something Abbott, owner of the newly opened Waterat Design Studio, doesn’t mind if it allows her to follow her dream. “It’s not a pretty job, all wrapped up in my safety gear, but it’s me doing what I love,” said Abbott, who can blast or carve pretty much any design onto auto glass, signage, tile, memorials, commemorative pieces, awards, gifts, home decor, privacy glass. The entire process – from commissioning a piece to installing it – can be completed in as little as two days, depending on the design. While mainly working out of her home studio, she also offers a custom mobile sandblasting service. Abbott’s creativity caught the attention of local fundraisers at the JCI Hospital Gala. One of her donated pieces, titled Angel Wings No. 2, a fourfoot square design blasted onto reclaimed tempered glass, fetched $1,500. The funds will help support the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation’s McMurtry-Baerg Cancer Care Centre Expansion project. Having recently returned to Vernon from the coast where she spent 18 years immersing herself in decorative and mural painting, wood working and

custom ornamental iron, she feels in the past five years she has found her calling in sandblasting. “I’m so happy to be back in the Okanagan with the support of the community and my family,” said Abbott. Abbott draws inspiration from a wide range of influences, including artists Terry Isaac and Robert Bateman, pin-up girl artists Alberto Varga, Raphael Caceres and Gillette Elvgren, glass artist Annemarie Fux, and pop culture icons such as Marilyn Monroe and Albert Einstein. “My most important inspiration and mentor though is my mother, Pat Kelderman. She has been my rock,” said Abbott, who will be participating in the upcoming Downtown Vernon Association’s Sights & Sounds event, starting Friday.
Scholarship supports First Nations Morning Star Staff
Kelowna’s Urban Systems is supporting Okanagan First Nations youth with a $10,000 scholarship fund aimed at promoting community development as a career choice. The scholarship is specifically for Okanagan First Nation students entering civil engineering, urban planning, environmental studies or landscape architecture degree programs in a Canadian post-secondary institution. To be eligible, applicants must be a member of the Okanagan Nation, and be registered or currently attending an accredited Canadian post-secondary institution.
The Building Communities Scholarship Fund will not only offer successful candidates financial awards, but also education and career guidance, mentoring support and opportunities for paid work experience by Urban Systems. “The 2012 Building Communities Scholarship Fund is one way that Urban Systems helps to support aboriginal education and capacity building in local first nations communities,” said Ken Gauthier, principal at Urban Systems. The deadline for applications is midnight on July 30. More information about the scholarship, visit www.urban-systems.com/bcsf.htm.

People shopping at London Drugs stores across B.C. have probably noticed something different – staff carrying iPads. The tablets are being distributed to the company’s 74 stores in an effort to assist customers with real-time information and the ability to easily investigate third-party reviews and price comparisons on products. “At London Drugs, we know we have the right prices and highly educated staff in our stores and so this new ability to see first-hand information at the purchase decision further affirms this superior service commitment to our customers,” said Wynne Powell, London Drugs president and CEO. “Providing access to open information allows the customer and our staff to engage in a fully knowledgeable discussion about a product with the aid of online research at their fingertips.” Customers will have the opportunity to research and display price comparisons of competitors, scan QR codes for quick product specifications, access third-party sites to compare multiple products and generally use the tablets to gain additional perspective on products they are looking for. London Drugs staff will also have the benefit of using the new iPads to engage with customers through the company’s extensive social media channels, including Urban Lifestyle, Health, Beauty and Nerd blogs, and more than 50 stores on Twitter,
Facebook and Google+. “The opportunities are endless,” said Powell. “We look forward to our staff utilizing this information and sales tool with new ways we’ve never seen before. “We expect the iPads will be utilized primarily in London Drugs computers and electronics departments in the beginning, but there is every reason for customers to also be able to compare kitchen appliances such as coffee makers, as well as books and book reviews, what’s hot in cosmetics, new fragrances and more.” Customers will also have the ability to review products on the spot by viewing ratings and reviews on www.londondrugs.com. Last December, London Drugs launched a new Photolab website that allows customers to access and print images from Facebook, Flickr, Google+, Picasa and Instagram. The initiative has resulted in increased sales and new customers. “We are investing heavily in new technologies in our stores and completely revamping our E-commerce store,” said Powell. “The social media integration on our photolab site, London Drugs’ successful social media campaigns and BazaarVoice ratings and reviews are just the beginning.” London Drugs has had free Wi-Fi in all of its stores since April 2011. The deployment of iPads to all London Drugs stores was expected to be completed by early June.

Reclaim debt control
I
f you are carrying various forms of debt and making multiple, sometimes high-interest, payments each month, debt consolidation could be the best way to manage your money, your time and your debt. Here’s how it works: Eliminate highinterest, high-cost loans by consolidating car payments, education loans, lines of credit and expensive credit card payments into one, lower-interest loan. Consolidation can Andy Erickson lower your monthly interest payments and could allow you to seek out a lower overall interest rate than the combined rate you’re currently paying on all your debts.

same payment amount towards your debt you will be putting extra money towards the principal debt repayment and will eliminate your debt much faster. Or, you could keep your amortization or debt payback period the same. Your new lower-interest consolidated loan means a reduced payment amount and the creation of additional cash flow that you can use to reach other financial life goals. Here are a few other debt management suggestions: Consider consolidating through a home equity loan – you’ll pay a much lower interest rate than on many other types of loans, especially your credit cards, which can range from 19 to 28 per cent interest on outstanding balances. Keep amortization to a reasonable time frame – aim for repayment within five years. A line of credit is not for everyone, although it provides added flexibility for your borrowing needs.

Etiquette starts at young age Continued from B9 Kirkness said that it can be a challenge to dress appropriately for work in a casual town with extremes of heat and cold, but adds people can find ways to look stylish, put together and right for their jobs, even on a budget. The other parts of an attractive image, etiquette and communication also require thought and sometimes overcoming careless habits. “Good etiquette basically shows respect for others and the situation. This is something parents can start to teach their children early and it includes how staff members treat customers and how employers treat employees, as well as social situations. “Something I do notice too often is that younger people seem to have little respect for the older generation,” said Kirkness. “I would like to do some workshops in schools and businesses on basic etiquette because it can make life so much more pleasant and easier for everyone to know what to do. It is making a conscious effort to think of others.” She added that new technology also requires etiquette, from remembering that anything that goes online could end up where it was not intended, and that cell phones should be used in a way
Hala snaps award Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Brenda Hala is a recipient of the coveted Master of Photographic Arts. The award, presented by the Professional Photographers of Canada (PPOC), is bestowed upon its members whose images accepted into the annual PPOC Image Salon are consistently of a high quality. It is also meant to recognize the contributions made by them to the association, and to photography in Canada. Hala, an association member since 1994, accepted the honour from PPOC chair Ken Frazer, at the annual awards banquet last April in Halifax. She has served on various provincial and regional boards, and has been photographing the people and places of the North Okanagan for more than 21 years.
that does not disturb others. “In communicating in person, keep in mind that what you say is one thing and the tone of your voice can change the meaning entirely. In e-mails and texts, there is no tone of voice so make sure that your message is clear. There are also non-verbal things like gestures and facial expressions that add to or detract from your image. The way you present yourself tells others the way you expect to be treated,” she said. Kirkness brings her art background to her work; she was an art teacher for middle schools and later worked as the district coordinator for the one-to-one literacy program. She earned her certification from the Association of Image Consulting International in Vancouver and plans to go on to further levels of certification. “It is my passion to use my skills to help others find their own unique images to help them meet their personal goals. It's exciting and I'm finding that people are very interested in how changing their image can change their lives,” she said.

Roughing it with luxury JANE CASSIE Special To The Morning Star
B.C. - We both love the great outdoors but when it comes to doing the ‘camp thing’ my husband and I don’t quite jive. Although he’d be content to cuddle in a mummy bag of eiderdown, my spine goes into spasm after sleeping on a mattress of earthy rough stuff. I’m also not crazy about canvas homesteads or baked beans. Thanks to these luxurious rural retreats, we can leave those tent pegs behind. While blending the rustic and refined, these B.C. properties offer a mother lode of outdoor adventures and pampering at the same time. Albreda Lodge – Mountain mania, heli-style. It’s like a Warren Miller scene when visiting powder hounds are whisked away to this posh lodge in the Monashee Range. The property, created by heli-guru Mike Wiegel, offers everything from steep and deep to après ski seductions. De-stress at the full-fledged spa, re-fuel on chef-prepared cuisine then heli away to snow riddled peaks. You’ll surely catch big air and get a good run for your money. Echo Valley Ranch and Spa – Calling all luxury-loving cowboys (and girls)! If you want a rustic dude ranch, then steer your stallion in a different direction. If you’re fancying five star accommodations, cuisine, and spa specialties with a unique east/west blend, then giddy-up to this getaway. After riding the range, hiking to neighbouring
SONORA LODGE PHOTO
Sonora Lodge, near Campbell River, provides visitors with posh surroundings inside as well as an opportunity to explore the great outdoors of B.C.’s Pacific coast. peaks and reeling in a fresh daily catch, bowlegged city slickers will discover true bliss at the Baan Thai Spa. Elisi Spa and Wilderness Resort – Safari or spa? Try both, and more, at this hedonistic fly-in that’s enshrouded by the northern Rockies. Check out moose, elk, and wolverine while on a photo shoot safari; catch an exhilarating wave on riverboat ride;
hike, bike or ride horseback to flora-filled meadows. King Pacific Lodge – One heavenly houseboat! From May to September, this floating wonder comes alive when anchored next to uninhabited Princess Royal Island. Although remotely sandwiched between the Great Bear Rainforest and sapphire Pacific, this retreat boasts all the bells and whistles of a boutique hotel.
Nimmo Bay Resort –This secluded fly-in hideaway near Port McNeill caters to every breakaway whim. As well as dishing out lots of hospitality the Murray family know how to tailor make any adventure. Whether it’s heli-fishing, heli-rafting, helitrekking, or heli-day trips to check out wildlife, waterfalls or whales, when combined with their cozy abodes and fingerlicking cuisine, you’ll have one heli of a good time. Sonora Resort – Hardly roughing it. This fisherperson’s paradise reels in wilderness seekers to its isolated locale on the Inside Passage. Guests can cruise the Pacific blue, where arching orcas and trophy-size salmon hang out. Others may take flight to check out grazing grizzlies, virgin ski slopes and heaven-bound hikes. The Hills Health Ranch For renewal, head to The Hills. This holistic haven provides a kick-start towards achieving a healthier lifestyle. Shed a few pounds, build a little muscle. Amidst their 20,000 acres of Cariboo ranchland there are daily fitness programs, 18 spa treatment rooms, three lounges and professional guides for hiking, riding, canoeing and biking. Ahhh – roughing it with a little luxury. It sure beats waking up in a clammy mummy bag with four stiff limbs. Yes, this is my kind of camping. Jane Cassie with Travel Writers’ Tales, an independent travel article syndicate.

Mike worked at A&G Supplies, Riverside Forest Products, Ɵmber cruising and Bigfoot RV in the Vernon/Lumby area before moving to Mission, BC in 2003 where he worked for Adventerer RV and, for the past 7 years, Canadian UƟliƟes ConstrucƟon/One Call Locators. Mike was a hardworking and conscienƟous employee and was well liked by his co-workers. Mike’s famous work ethic was what stood him apart from others and he could always be counted on to get the job done well. Mike enjoyed travelling, camping hiking, sports of any kind and was athleƟc beyond belief. Mike was constantly seeking the ulƟmate tropical snorkeling spots and was just recently becoming SCUBA cerƟĮed and had planned his Įrst dives in Cuba. Mike loved spending Ɵme at the family cabin on Sugar Lake and, while there, could be found on the golf course bright and early most mornings. Mike’s golf swing was amazing and he always said that golf was a life lesson and “a game of cenƟmeters”. Mike was an avid outdoorsman who was in his element in the mountains. When hiking with Mike, he always blazed the trail and was the Įrst to the top all the while encouraging others to come along to enjoy the view. Mike played slowpitch and fastpitch and was a talented player. He made amazing over his head catches in the ouƞield, crept fearlessly close to the baƩer when playing third and, ran the bases with speed that was astonishing. You would have wanted him on your team. To say Mike was a well liked man would not do jusƟce to how others felt about him. Mike was a gentle, caring and friendly soul who was loved and respected by his family and friends. His energy and genuineness could be instantly felt by others and his sense of humor was quick and clever. Mike laughed daily. Mike loved professional sports speciĮcally, his beloved Packers and Canucks. Mike recently tried purchasing shares of the Pack aŌer they were oīered publicly and was so disappointed they were only available to US residents, considered arranging a US address so he could have a piece of Lambeau history. Mike loved his Canucks and never missed a game. If not televised, he would hunker down with the radio to listen. Mike knew history, stats, players, coaches and strategy and was integral in developing his wife’s Canuck fanaƟcism. Mike will be deeply missed and has leŌ a space that can never be Įlled. He was so special and so amazing that his life will forever be remembered and felt. Lori told him he was like a Super Nova, so bright and so hot he was unable to stay around forever. He’s now back with the stars. Mike’s celebraƟon of life will be held Saturday July 7th at the Lumby Curling Club, 2230 Shields Ave Lumby, BC, at 3 pm. It is open to everyone. Please drop by and celebrate Mike’s life the way he would have liked; happily and with laughter.

Peter Kisil passed away on Tuesday, June 26, 2012 at Polson Extended Care in Vernon, BC of congestive heart failure.
