Tour reveals an Okanagan tradition Wineries gain popularity with valley visitors JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

rape growing is quite literally in the Okanagan’s roots.

Stemming from the trial and error growing pains in the pioneer days of the 1800s to today, where world-class wines are being uncorked annually.

Of B.C.’s approximately 180 wineries, most are located in the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys.

Even though the south (where red grapes thrive) virtually dominates the Okanagan’s wine industry, the north (where whites do well) is increasingly tapping into the prestige.

“Most of them are (in the South Okanagan) but we have some very good ones here (in the North Okanagan) and the original one is here,” said Mary-Jo O’Keefe, owner of Vernon-based MJO Tours, which gives guests a taste of the industry up and down the wine valley.

Gray Monk has been grape growing for 40 years at its Okanagan Centre location in Lake Country and wine making for 30 – it is celebrating those milestones this year, along with the 50th wedding anniversary of George and Trudy Heiss.

Established in 1972 by George and Trudy, Gray Monk is the Okanagan’s only original winery still operated by its founders.

At the time of its inception, Gray Monk was one of only eight wineries in the valley.

But that is changing as more wineries are planting their roots in the north (whether it be Lake Country, Vernon’s Bella Vista hillside, Spallumcheen, Grindrod or yonder into the Shuswap).

“The industry here is changing

Featuring its very own meadery, the site is a buzz with tourists and wine connoisseurs seeking a distinct taste for their palate.

With the existing and up and coming wineries/meaderies in the area, O’Keefe is working to help introduce the tastes to locals and tourists alike.

“We’re in the process of developing another tour that does the Bella Vista wineries,” said O’Keefe, who already offers tours to Planet Bee. But the valley isn’t all about vino.

Downtown in both Vernon and Kelowna, Okanagan Spirits is churning out its own awardwinning varieties.

Fruit liqueurs, gin, grappa and absinthe are among the awardwinning products being distilled.

So while the number of South Okanagan wineries is still more than double what the north has to offer, the local scene is growing, and flourishing.

“We’re getting better and better at what we do,” said O’Keefe, adding that while two-thirds of JENNIFER SMITH/MORNING STAR her tours used to be strictly out A family (above) gets a look at Gray Monk Estate Winery while Mary-Jo O’Keefe (below left), with MJO Tours, explains of Osoyoos and Oliver, that’s no longer the case. the wine-making process to Karen and Bill Seward, from New York, at Ex Hihilo Vineyards in Lake Country.

Other task force recommendations call for a five-year business plan and construction of a large barn for weddings, receptions and trade shows.

O’Keefe Ranch has gone through financial struggles in recent years and as of June, there is a $20,000 shortfall in revenue. “We recommend that the (ranch) board meet in July to discuss options to bring the budget back into balance,� states the task force. “In the meantime, the O’Keefe society will take all steps possible to close this gap.�

The current operating budget is $450,000, with $250,000 coming from grants and other sources. Revenue from admission and special events is budgeted for $150,000, with the remainder of the funds coming from rental income.

Politicians are being pressured to preserve a portion of Greater Vernon’s natural landscape.

The North Okanagan Naturalists Club is lobbying the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee to purchase land in the Commonage for public use. “There’s the historical importance of the Commonage to the area,� said Rod Drennan, a club member. “It’s just an area where the grasslands could now be protected.�

Local environmental groups have been concerned in recent years that urban development could negatively impact the Commonage, which not only Rod Drennan hosts grasslands but at-risk animal and plant species.

For Drennan, it’s critical that action be taken. “We want to acquire more land for the community for in perpetuity,� he said, adding that consideration must be given to the need to encompass whole ecosystems. “We need a large chunk of land there.�

The club has identified some potential sites for parks but Drennan would not get into specifics because a meeting with GVAC must still be held.

If land is purchased, intense public use would be avoided. “We would want to see trails but nothing more than that,� said Drennan. “We want to protect the grasslands, the birds and the animals.�

It’s not known what it could cost to buy the necessary land for a park, but Drennan believes GVAC is in a position to move ahead. “There’s a significant amount of money in the park acquisition fund,� he said.

GVAC director Bob Fleming says he wants to speak to some of his Commonage constituents to find out how they feel about parks. “In general, I am in support of natural areas and the Commonage is an area that should be looked at,� he said.

Piledriver in lake spurs concern RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A local man is alarmed over what he considers an environmental hazard.

John Fraser was paddling on the west side of Kalamalka Lake, across from Rattlesnake Point, Monday, when he found a partially submerged piledriver. “The engine is under water and if there is still oil and gas in it, it will leak into the lake,� he said, adding that his other concern is public safety. “There’s a pretty high tower so if it sinks, it could be a hazard to boats.�

Fraser has been in contact with provin-

Antwerp well sought for emergency use RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A water source with a controversial name could be Greater Vernon’s salvation in a drought.

The Regional District of North Okanagan is seeking approval to designate the Antwerp deep well as emergency backup for domestic use. “The capacity of the Duteau treatment plant cannot sustain demand if there’s a hot, dry summer,� said Zee Marcolin, utilities engineer.

The deep well has been shut off since early 2010 when the adjacent shallow well was contaminated, forcing thousands of people to abandon tap water. “No contamination occurred in the deep well,� said Marcolin, adding that the decision was made to close the deep well because of public concerns.

Stamhuis says that even though Coldstream has no role in this current situation, the district will be watching the matter on Kal Lake closely. “If there is still fuel in it, there will be a concern because the lake is a water source,� he said.

Owen’s efforts make cents CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff

Owen Sanders knows every penny counts.

He started by bringing a few rolls of pennies he had saved to contribute to the Lumby Community Thrift Store. People who heard about it started to give him their pennies and before he had even graduated from kindergarten, he had collected 50,000 pennies, as well as $200 in other coins.

His prize-winning entry in the Lumby Days parade helped bring the total up.

“We got the pennies here. We made it before the bad guys,” said Owen, as he, with help from his aunt, Victoria Bosk, eight, brought the wagon full of pennies which they pulled from the thrift store into the Lumby Scotiabank to be deposited.

“It’s awesome. I kind of feel like I’m famous.”

Owen, whose sixth birthday was June 28, is now a hometown hero and Lumby’s official penny marshall.

When Owen delivered the pennies to the bank, Tina LaRiviere, Scotia Bank Lumby manager, told his mother, Amber Sanders, that the bank was opening a $50 savings account in his name.

“We’re so appreciative of Owen doing this and being a good citizen,” said LaRiviere.

Owen doesn’t know if he is going to officially keep collecting pennies.

“If someone gives me some, I’ll take them and give them to the store,” he promised.

BX Creek trail redirected Morning Star Staff

High water has impacted a Greater Vernon park.

The section of BX Creek trail that heads north from 20th Street, near Wal-Mart, is currently obstructed at the frontage road junction.

“The trail is being re-routed to restore the connection,” said Tannis Nelson, with the Regional District of North Okanagan.

Completion of the realignment is expected by July 14, but the public is encouraged to check for updates at www.rdno.ca.

In April, the provincial government announced it will develop VJH’s two top floors as a way of addressing overcrowding.

The number of acute care beds has not been

As part of the Sullivan Group’s review, VJH’s departments of surgery and anesthesia presented four proposals for increasing the surgical program.

Among the suggestions were protected operating room time, additional operating rooms, additional beds and anticipated needs.

“There are immediate and long-term needs of the surgical program at VJH,” states the submission from the doc-

“In the short-term, immediate attention should be given to the overcapacity problem, protecting surgical beds, creating a day time protected operating room, reducing the backlog of joint replacements and increasing

OR time for the urology service for cancer care. In the medium to long-term, the sixth and then the seventh operating rooms should be opened and appropriate surgeons recruited to meet the needs of our growing and aging community.”

Residents demand upgrades to Highway 6 RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Cherryville residents are giving conditions on Highway 6 a rough ride.

The Regional District of North Okanagan board is being asked to write the Ministry of Transportation and demand upgrades to the highway from the Gold Panner Campground to Mine Hill.

“The surface is breaking up. It’s really bad,” said director Eugene Foisy.

“It’s going to need more than cosmetic painting of the lines. People are really choked about it.”

Besides local residents, the six-kilometre stretch of highway is used by logging trucks, commercial vehicles and tourists moving between the Okanagan and the Kootenays.

“When the Trans-Canada Highway slides in and is closed, the traffic generally comes this way,” said Foisy.

The primary concern is the deteriorating condition of the highway will lead to an accident.

“When you meet a logging truck, you can be trying to avoid broken pavement and the road is sunk away in spots,” said Foisy.

Besides a letter to the ministry, Foisy plans to raise the issue with Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster.

“We’re not trying to be miserable out here but

Now that summer’s here...

I

’m about to go on summer holidays, which I know is not newsworthy in the least, but it should be noted that the last time I took a week off it rained every day, so if this much-anticipated stretch of sunny weather takes a turn for the worse on Monday at least you know who to blame.

However, let’s keep our fingers crossed that this is actually summer, and not just on the calendar.

We’re spoiled here in the Okanagan with weather but if we don’t get what we think we deserve – sunny, hot days from June through September – we can get a little ornery.

But if we get a nice stretch here through July Glenn Mitchell and into August all is forgiven on Mother Nature’s account, in fact a couple days straight of 30+ Celsius and we’ll start whining about the heat. That’s how fickle we Okanagan types are.

Anyway, I’ve set a few goals for my time off, as I always do but never actually pull off, because sometimes the time can slip by, and whamo, you’re back to work and your list, is well, still your list. But I thought maybe if I published my list it might force me to actually pull at least some of it off, you know peer pressure or at least the possibility of public humiliation.

So here goes, with the usual apology to David Letterman: the top 10 things I hope to achieve during my summer holidays.

10. Write a book, or at least read one. My wife will laugh at the first half of that last sentence as I’ve been talking about writing my novel for decades now. She helpfully points out the first step would be to actually start one. Of course she has no idea how difficult even that is for us would-be writers, but I still have a lot of ideas circulating in my head or I could always self-publish a collection of columns for my mom and her friends, which I’ve also been talking about doing for years.... but, alas, I’ll likely settle for actually reading a book over the holidays. That too sounds relatively easy but I’m easily distracted by newspapers and magazines and TV and......

9. Get in shape. Again, something I’ve vowed to do for, well, a few decades now. It would be a good time to get up early and jog in the cool, fresh air of an Okanagan summer. It may be the getting up early part that’s holding me back.....

8. Camp with the youngest kid. Again, my wife thinks this is funny (apparently she has a great sense of humour) because she’s wondering who’s going to plan the food, cook the food, prepare the camper, basically survive in the wild.

She’s kind of the camper in the family but she’s working and the other kid graduated last week so he’s not coming with me any more (I was going to write about that but figured I’d wait for the next one in two years, besides it was surprisingly emotional and I’m still getting over it thank you very much), so we’ll see.

7. Install a low-flow toilet that’s been sitting around the house for awhile now. Somebody said just Google it but I may need help on this one as I’m not really that handy, again my wife would find that a funny statement. I hope she’s enjoying this.

6. Golf a round with the kids. Should be able to pull this one off. However I’ve golfed a total of once so far this year, and it wasn’t pretty, so I may have to hit the range first.

5. Hit the range. Consider it done, you always have to put easy things on the list so you don’t feel like a total loser when you fail to fulfill, well, most of them.

4. Get out in the boat. Again, a bit of a nobrainer but if truth be told I’m a bit of a fair weather sailor. Actually my wife’s the one with the boater’s license, again consider it done.

3. Clean out the basement. Not likely unless it rains the whole time. And even then I have my doubts but it’s a noble goal don’t you think?

2. Cook dinner every night. You know, I’m not working, my wife is and all that jazz. May need help from the kids on this one. Right, that’ll happen.

1. Relax and enjoy the luxury of time for a change in this fast-paced, crazy world we live in. Hey, I’m all over it. And maybe I’ll even read a book while I’m at it and kill off two things at once. Anyway, see you on the other side. Enjoy your summer now that it’s finally here.

It’s unfortunate a simple request for regular updates on activities was met with open resistance by Regional District of North Okanagan staff.

On Thursday, members of the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee asked that they receive status reports.

“I just want to know that progress is being made. It gives a better handle of where we’re at,” said director Catherine Lord.

Lord’s argument makes complete sense, so the reaction from administrator Trafford Hall was a surprise.

“It can’t just be done by a secretary. It has to be done by senior managers who are already stretched,” he said.

Hall also tried to throw the issue back on to the politicians.

“My recommendation is you keep your own files and bring them back,” he said.

It’s difficult to know what Hall is concerned about, but GVAC directors are not asking for the wheel to be reinvented.

Many jurisdictions regularly provide their elected representatives up-to-date reports on where key initiatives are at.

Vernon is currently moving in that direction, and such progress reports were commonplace at GVAC many years ago.

Such lists aren’t meant to add to staff workload or make them feel bad if a timeline isn’t being met. It’s all about keeping the politicians informed on the direction they provided to staff.

After all, it is the directors who are ultimately responsible for everything that happens on GVAC’s behalf.

Ultimately, the broad issue is one of transparency.

In the end, the board reminded staff who the boss is and progress reports are moving ahead.

No consultation on issue

A

s a recently retired employee of the Liquor Distribution Branch, I have been watching with interest the recent proposal by the Liberal government to privatize the distribution system branch and sell its warehouses.

This has come about with no consultation and no business case to show why or how this is beneficial to the taxpayers of the province.

This reminds me of the announcement at the beginning of the Liberals' term in office, about a decade ago, to privatize the entire LDB. Again, no solid reasons or business case, just a hastily concocted idea. The public was generally against the proposal and after the minister in charge fumbled the ball and closer examination by the government, the idea was shelved.

There is one major difference this time around, though. After feeling burned by the government reversal 10 years ago, this time, the private sector liquor industry and the government employes are on the same side of the fence. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

With less than one year left in their mandate,

BOATING ALERT I am asking you, collectively, for assistance relating to the very high water levels being experienced along the lower Shuswap River.

Specifically, I am asking that during then next week or two, you try to impress on your readers, both local and out of town, not to boat on the lower Shuswap.

The river is within inches of the road at Mara, which sits on a sand and light gravel base completely exposed to the river’s water.

One wave from a passing boat is likely to wash away the road base, collapsing the road.

In addition, wakes cause erosion and damage to berms and sandbag barriers.

I leave it to you as to how you would make your readers aware – through editorials, pictures, stories, or whatever.

While the long-weekend was the most important, I would ask you to keep it up over the next two weeks if possible as it looks as though the water will stay very high for that time, with the associated problems.

Thanking you for your community spirit.

Peter Vander Sar

there is no way the Liberal government should be pushing this major shift in operations through without first, the numbers to back their position, and then a serious public debate. Once the air is cleared and the facts are out, it should then be up to the next government, be it the Liberals, NDP or Conservatives, to make the call.

In closing, I can offer a personal insight which is probably the main reason I am confused by the proposed government sell-off.

While attending 25-years-worth of managers' meeting in my former life, I heard a lot of the same proclamations, told a little differently by a host of messengers.

One that routinely came up was of our warehouses — how efficiently they ran and that they had a unit shipping cost that the private sector was envious of.

My question, then, is what has gone so wrong in the two years since my departure to propose such a radical change to an operation that was regularly praised in the past by the LDB hierarchy?

DANGEROUS CROSSING I would like to express my concern for the safety of pedestrians attempting to cross 32nd Street at the hospital.

I have witnessed at least three near misses at this intersection, with the latest one being the other day. I was heading south on the inside lane approaching the crosswalk.

A pedestrian was about to step off the sidewalk and cross going towards the hospital.

Watching my rear-view mirror, I could see a truck coming up very fast on outside left lane.

It was obvious the truck had no intention of stopping so I had to honk my horn to alert the pedestrian and the truck.

The pedestrian stopped in front of my car and the truck stopped too, just in time.

After the pedestrian had crossed, the driver of the truck thanked me by raising his middle finger at me.

There needs to be at the very least, a push-button activated crossing light installed there.

It is only a matter of time before someone gets seriously injured or worse.

Howard Fisher

SAYING THANKS The Compassionate Friends, a self-help group for bereaved parents, would like to extend their thanks to the community.

To simply say thank you would never come close to the overwhelming gratitude we have for Nixon Wenger, The Morning Star, and the People Place (manager Elaine Collison) who have allowed us to gather in a safe place to continue our very difficult grief journey.

At this time we would also like to extend our appreciation to the Vernon community service organizations for their referrals; the Compassionate Friends Advisory Board Members who are always available to provide guidance when needed (Carolyn Christiansen, Donna Albury, Diana Mahortoff, Dorothy Larsen, and Brenda Rutherford) and Morning Star lifestyles editor Katherine Mortimer for ensuring the public is aware of our organization.

Finally, we would like to thank the North Okanagan United Way for providing TCF with the funding for our seabeck and outreach programs.

MISSING ITEM I am so disheartened with certain members of the human race, talk about low.

My 90-year-old mother lives in an apartment on 30th Avenue and Alexis Park Drove and is on a fixed income.

At least twice a week, I take her out to shop for groceries, pick up her laundry, etc.

She takes these things up and down from her second floor apartment with one of those tall, upright wire carts with the wheels on the back.

Only this one was made especially for her by my dad, who has been gone for 14 years now.

He put on large wheels off of a pram-buggy so it could hold more.

She also used it to take out the garbage/recycling too.

She'd lock it when leaving it outside while she was out, but couldn't see to unlock it, so despite hiding it behind the dumpster, someone thought it was theirs for the taking.

It is easy to identify. One of the wheels is worn down. It is over 40 years old.

I hope they are happy making

“They have done all of their due diligence to find water.”

— Bruce Naka “It’s been a frustrating process for them.”

The family proposed building a reservoir that could be filled off-season so irrigation was not negatively impacting the utility during summer’s peak flows.

Naka doesn’t believe GVAC’s jurisdictional issue holds up.

“Right across the road there are agricultural parcels in Spallumcheen with water available to them,” he said.

Director Bob Fleming did support denying the request but he pointed out that the utility already provides water to the Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club, O’Keefe Ranch and Stepping Stones homes.

“The precedent has been set about providing water outside of Greater Vernon,” he said.

GVAC directors have asked staff to look at the issues raised by the Sandher family and to incorporate them into the master water review process.

A farm family will not be able to tap into Greater Vernon’s water supply.

The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee has denied Jaspal and Manjit Sandher’s bid for water at their L&A Cross Road orchard because the property is located in Spallumcheen and outside of the service area.

“If we allow this to go ahead, others in the area will say, ‘How about us too?” said Dale McTaggart, director of engineering.

McTaggart says extending water outside of the Greater Vernon boundary cannot be considered until the master water plan review is completed and separation of agricultural uses from domestic activities determines how much water supply is available.

“It’s a little premature to proceed,” he said.

The Sandhers drilled a well a few years ago and while there appeared to be sufficient water at the time they planted 45 acres of apples and five acres of cherries, an insufficient supply of water has developed.

“They have done all of their due diligence to find water,” said Bruce Naka, who owns an irrigation company that is working on behalf of the Sandhers.

Pools of groundwater have been forming at Polson Park thanks to a high water table and Coldstream Creek running high, creating some nasty smells for parkgoers.

Polson pools create stench RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Visitors to Polson Park haven’t had to venture into the spray park to get wet.

Pools of water have been forming in the park over the last few days. “It’s ground water,� said Tannis Nelson, community development co-ordinator with the Regional District of North Okanagan.

“There’s high water table and the creek is high.�

Some public calls have been received about the situation. “It quite smelly and stagnant,� said Nelson of the standing water.

The Interior Health Authority is being contacted to determine if there are any health concerns. “If there are any public

health issues, we would fence the area off,� said Nelson.

Once water levels recede, RDNO will install drains in the lower areas of the park to avoid puddles in the future.

But a short-term solution will be the arrival of hot weather drying the water up. “It shouldn’t be a problem for too much longer,� said Nelson.

Smart meters debate carries on RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

The debate on smart meters continues in Enderby.

A presentation on B.C. Hydro’s remote monitoring devices will be held at the Enderby Drill Hall July 18, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. “Most people don’t know what a smart meter is and we’re trying to inform people as to our view,� said Barb Makota, with Citizens for Safe Technology, which has opposed installation of the meters because of concerns over health and privacy.

Besides Makota, there will be speakers from a company that specializes in electrical frequencies and Interior Smart Meter Awareness.

B.C. Hydro has indicated it will not attend the session. “They don’t respond to the public,� said Makota.

The presentation comes at the same time that Enderby council is considering whether it should take a stand against smart meters.

Coun. Earl Shipmaker isn’t sure what action the city will take following the public meeting. “It will likely be token support (opposing meters) because we have no jurisdiction over the issue,� he said. “Hydro is operating under an agreement with the B.C. Utilities Commission to have them in by the end of the year.�

The issue first arose in February when a resident asked council to ban the devices.

Council then formed a committee to examine health and privacy concerns and there was a delegation from B.C. Hydro in June.

Makota believes there is a role for the city to take, saying municipalities are bound to take action when made aware of a health risk. “Fiber optics is a safer way to go,� she said.

The Downtown Vernon Association will be offering mural tours during July and August.

“I invite you to bring your guests on a tour in to the history of the city you live in while they’re here visiting you,” said conductor Shandree Seymour.

“The tours are a great way to learn more about the murals you see every day.”

Downtown Vernon’s murals are

one of the largest displays of public art in Canada.

“Not only are they beautiful, adding colour and life to the downtown area, but each mural holds stories of triumph and adventure from some of Vernon’s first settlers,” said Seymour.

The tour dates and hours for the summer are Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

All tours leave from the old train station: 4- 3101 29th St. and walk-ins are welcome.

Call 250-542-5851 for more information or go to www.vernonmurals.ca.

“I would like to see the benefits of the program spread around,” he commented.

McRae also pointed out that this is a different replant program, not a continuation of the one that finished a year ago.

This one applies only to orchards of a minimum size, and is only for growers who are planting varieties of apples which are receiving premium prices in the marketplace and which are appropriate in the location of the orchard, to ensure the best quality fruit and the best returns for growers.

Even if land has not been planted in the last few years, if it was orchard with the last five years, it’s eligible for this replant program, he said.

It’s targeted to encourage the industry to become more competitive, he added.

“I’m pleased we are able to provide this $2 million program.”

City defends expenditures ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Shirley Fowler believes her expenses are well justified.

The Armstrong councillor topped the list of expenses submitted by councillors last year, according to the city’s 2011 annual report.

Each of the six councillors was paid $12,078 in remuneration while Fowler submitted expenses of $3,098, just $5 more than Mayor Chris Pieper (who earned $21,226) and $11 higher than Sully O’Sullivan.

“The expenses are for businesses associated with being a councillor,” said Fowler, who attended the Southern Interior Local Government Association and Union of B.C. Municipalities conventions in 2011 on behalf of the city. “It’s Shirley Fowler to promote the ability to do the job properly, and it’s definitely justified.”

Councillors John Trainor, Kelly Rowe and Paul Britton did not submit any expenses in 2011, while Coun. Ryan Nitchie claimed $2,477.

The annual report is a snapshot into the details regarding John Trainor everything about the city, the “dollars and cents, nuts and bolts and summary of objectives,” as explained by Trainor, the head of the city’s finance committee.

It lists all employees in Armstrong earning $75,000 or more, and there are four, topped by administrator Patti Ferguson, the only employee making more than $100,000 ($115,454). The other three are chief financial officer Terry Martens ($86,248), public works manager Pat Hickerson ($82,864) and water/waste-water operator Kerry Fox ($75,307), for a total of $359,873.

All other city employees combined make just under $460,000, so the city spends $819,115 on its staff.

One of the topics that caught Trainor’s ear during Martens’ presentation of the annual report is something accountants use to measure the financial health of a city, and that’s long-term debt per capita.

The figure measures the city’s debt load for each person in the community.

In 2010, the number was $323.28 per person, but in 2011, the figure dipped considerably to $192.94.

“It’s hard to know exactly what the numbers are everywhere else, but Terry assures us ours is one of the lowest numbers in the province,” said Trainor.

“It’s a prime number that indicates the city’s finances are being managed responsibly.”

“The focus at VACSTC is to be a centre of excellence for cadet training,” said Lt.Col. Lyle Johnson, commanding officer.

“The aim of training is to provide the cadets with a positive life experience that builds skills and abilities which are transferable to all aspects of their lives.

“Every cadet should be challenged by aspects of their CSTC experience, making their experience positive, effective and worthwhile.”

Although VACSTC is organized as an army battalion in respect to command and control, its mandate is similar to that of a school, with cadets assigned to specific courses based on their age and previous army cadet training.

The youngest cadets, enrolled in the general training group, approx-

imately 450 in total, are attending their first summer camp, and they will learn the skills necessary to successfully function in a summer training centre, including, for many, their first experience in community living.

They also take part in an overnight field training exercise, learn to fire the air rifle, take part in a summer biathlon, and challenge the miniconfidence course.

The next stages of training for cadets are the three-week basic cadet courses, which prepare cadets for junior leadership positions at their home corps.

In addition, basic cadets receive instruction in specific areas, including musicianship, fitness and sports, marksmanship and adventure based activities such as canoeing, hiking and mountain biking.

Congratulations

A Falkland student’s knowledge and dedication to preserving aboriginal culture has earned top marks.

Sekoija Spencer, a Falkland Elementary student, won first place in the FORED BC Traditional Knowledge and Medicinethemed poster contest.

This annual poster contest celebrates the rich cultural and heritage traditions of B.C.’s aboriginal people.

Each year, FORED provides cash prizes to aboriginal youth in primary, intermediate and secondary grade levels. Spencer was awarded a $50 prize for first place in the primary division, along with intermediate winners Tiffany Pootlass and Lori Saunders (Bella Coola) and secondary winner Preston Squinas (Burns Lake).

“But more important than the cash prize, is that youths are learning from their elders about their own traditional knowledge, often used in healing and land stewardship,” said FORED program direcSEKOIJA SPENCER tor Cheryl Ziola.

Annesley makes Dinos’ wish list KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

As a 13-year-old, Tyler Annesley was 5-foot-11 and 180 pounds. Minor football opponents needed a backhoe to move him.

He just turned 18 and he’s 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds. High school coach Mike Scheller figures Annesley isn’t done growing.

The University of Calgary Dinos are big on Annesley’s vitals and have signed him to a Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) deal. Annesley will red-shirt with the Dinos this season, meaning he can practise, but not play with the four-time defending Canada West champions.

Annesley spent three years with the Fulton Maroons, where he played both offensive and defensive line and defensive end. Scheller is ecstatic about getting another Maroon into CIS football.

“Tyler is a great kid and very coachable,” said Scheller. “I would say his greatest attribute will be his size. He will be a huge man once he finishes growing, with a long wing span. Those are the key things you want in an offensive tackle – size and arm length.

Tyler has a lot of upside.”

Born in Vancouver, Annesley moved to Vernon from Terrace for Grade 6 at Beairsto.

“I played community football with coaches Ron Kirschner, Lee Elliott and Doug Cook, and I liked the game right away,” said Annesley. “It was something I was good at; being big, they couldn’t move me.

“In Grade 10, I decided it was something that I’d like to continue on with. It was a dream to play university football, but I never thought I would.”

Scheller said Annesley, one of the Maroon captains, could always be counted on for a stellar showing no matter where he lined up.

“Tyler was a very dependable player, and always gave his all,” said Scheller, who will be an assistant coach at a Las Vegas school this fall. “He picked it up in games we needed him the most, and his play rose with the level of competition.

“Our coaching staff is proud of the way he has progressed in his three years as a Maroon, and his parents, Dave and Darcie, were huge benefits to our team as well. We wish him all the best with the Dinos.”

U of C head coach Blake Nill says the

Dinos, who have 11 offensive linemen in the CFL, recruit that position on athleticism while looking for tall and lanky traits.

“The biggest asset that Tyler has is he’s got some size,” said Nill, whose cousin, Jim, is a former NHL forward now working for the Red Wings. “He’s very young and he’s got a long ways to go physically; that’s going to be his challenge.”

Nill said the Dinos’ system of grooming O-linemen works as they make sure the players are ready when their number is called.

“Tyler has a good attitude. He understands his timeline. Most offensive linemen in our program redshirt for two years because they need time to be ready for this level.”

Annesley works with a couple of trainers at Fitness West, improving his overall strength and endurance. He praises Scheller for guiding him through Football 101.

“He’s been one of the best coaches I’ve ever had. He’s taught me a lot. Without him and the other coaches, Gator (Shayne Gaythorpe), Roger Scales, Josh Cooper and Bryan Bateman, I wouldn’t be going to play university.

“The O-line doesn’t really get the stats.

We come out hard every game and do our thing.”

Annesley talked to a few schools, visiting St. Francis Bishop’s in Quebec during Spring Break.

“I really wanted to put education first and see how much the coaches wanted me.

Calgary is closer to home too.”

He sent a highlight video to the Dinos and attended their spring camp in late May with 100 players.

“I showed up at spring camp and I felt small,” chuckled Annesley. “My play was iffy at first, but I never gave up. You only get one chance so I was going my hardest.”

Once Calgary recruiters pinpointed the players they liked best, those players met with the Dinos and Okanagan Sun head coach Gavin Lake. The Dinos decided it was best that Annesley red-shirted rather than play a year of Junior A first.

Annesley, who also played basketball and rugby at Fulton, plans to get his masters in energy management. He earned a $1,250 entrance scholarship and has applied for more funds through the U of C alumni club (the Fifth Quarter).

A New Orleans Saints’ fan, Annesley gets his size from his father, a forester.

Fulton Maroon grad Tyler Annesley, an 18-year-old offensive lineman, has accepted a Canadian Interuniversity Sport football scholarship with the University of Calgary Dinos.

Vernon’s Barrie soaks in B.C. amateur golf experience Morning Star Staff

At just 16 years old, Vernon’s Mackenzie Barrie is showing she can already swing with the big girls.

Having broken the 80 barrier for the first time only two weeks ago, Barrie, a member of the Vernon Golf and Country Club, repeated the feat in three of the four rounds at the B.C. Women’s Amateur Championships, which ended Friday at the Christina Lake Golf Club.

After carding 76-79-77 to start the event, she stumbled to an 84 in the last round to finish in a tie for 32nd at 316 (28over). When B.C. Golf accidentally credited Barrie with a 75 on her final round, the classy teen made a point of notifying

the Morning Star of the error.

“Overall it was a very successful tournament for me and it was a great experience playing against girls of such calibre, and knowing that I can now keep up,” she said. “Only breaking 80 two weeks ago, I am very happy that I was able to do it three days in a row, but unfortunately did not finish as strong as I would have liked.”

Richmond’s Christina Wong won the women’s title, going 14-under (70-69-65-70-274) to finish four strokes ahead of runner-up Soo-Bin Kim of Port Coquitlam (70-70-71-67278).

Kelowna’s Megan Osland finished at 7-under (72-73-66-

70-281) to rank third.

Barrie’s hectic summer tournament schedule continues this week as she heads to Osoyoos for the B.C. Junior Girls Championships, which start Tuesday. After that, she has the B.C. Summer Games, July 19-22, at Hazelmere in Surrey, and the B.C. Juvenile, Aug. 21-23, in Princeton.

In Junior boys action, there will be four Vernon-area entrants in provincials starting Tuesday at Roberts Creek’s Sunshine Coast Golf and Country Club.

The list includes Vernon’s Brady Stead and the Coldstream trio of Austin Bosquet and brothers Matt and Chris McEachran-Law.

Shamrocks sweep Rattlers Morning Star Staff

The Armstrong Shamrocks are through to the Shaw Cup Senior C lacrosse final.

The Rocks completed a sweep of the host Kamloops Rattlers with a 7-5 win in Game 2 of their best-of-three set Friday night.

The old Memorial Arena was a sweat box, with temperatures in the high 30s sapping energy from both teams. However, they still managed to combine for 99 penalty minutes (65 to Armstrong).

The hosts opened the scoring on a long, outside shot by AJ Lockwood, his first of three on the night.

Armstrong responded with snipes from Steve Clark and Devin Roger, who snapped a three-year goal drought.

Nathan Woldum connected for Kamloops on the powerplay, but the Shamrock offence then came alive, with Clark (2) and Jarrett Medhurst giving Armstrong a 5-2 lead at the break.

The second period had barely started when Russ McIntosh beat the Shamrock defence to add to the Rattlers’ total.

The rough stuff then started when the Rocks’ Milan Marcetta squared off against Nathan Woldum of the Rattlers. The two went back and forth, with Marcetta delivering a final upper cut before the referees broke it up. It was Marcetta’s fifth penalty of

NEW EXTENDED HOURS! 8am-1pm

the night, which earned him an early shower.

With his scoring credentials firmly re-established, Roger put his hands to use in a heavyweight tilt with Kamloops’ Kevin Pakalla, earning a decision by landing the final blows and getting the takedown. He too earned an early exit from the game.

With Armstrong spending most of the second period in the box, Lockwood scored to make it 5-4 heading into the final frame.

With sauna-like conditions and short benches, the pace slowed in the third period. Medhurst and Lockwood swapped goals early in the frame. With Kamloops’ keeper Mike Smith (33 saves) pulled for an extra attacker, the Rocks’ Braydon Sanders tracked down a loose ball and set up Medhurst for an empty-netter with nine seconds to play.

“We pulled it out with only 10 runners at the end of the game,” Coach Glenn (Stumpy) Mitchell “I thought Jamie Cockerill ran a marathon out there tonight and played excellent defence. We left our short man unit out there a lot tonight and they all played very well, led by our goalie Chad (Pieper, 42 saves).”

The Rocks will face either the Kelowna Raiders or Vernon Tigers, who are tangling in the other semi.

Kelowna led the series 1-0 heading into Game 2 Saturday night at Wesbild Centre.

Netminder Taitum MacAulay (left) and forward Connor Glennon, who play with Thompson Okanagan FC, have been selected to the B.C. Under 13 boys soccer team.

NEW THIS YEAR! Soccer duo selected Greater Vernon Minor Hockey Association

is now accepting registrations for

4-Year-Olds!

This program will run for 1-Hour per week Go to www.vernonminorhockey.com for more information or for online registrations

KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

Connor Glennon celebrated his 13th birthday on June 28 by paintballing with his buddies.

Before heading out to the Spallumcheen site, he was asking his mom if they could stop by a park so he could shoot the soccer ball around.

A soccer junkie since Li’l Kickers, Glennon was extra stoked since he had just been selected to the provincial Under 13 Boys team along with Thompson Okanagan FC teammate Taitum MacAulay, also of Vernon.

“I work with both feet,” said Glennon, of his training regiment. “I scored half of my goals with my left foot this season.”

Blessed with blazing speed, Glennon led the EA Sports B.C. Soccer Premier League with eight goals while playing left wing and striker. He runs BX Falls with his dad, John, and younger brother, Liam, for fun.

“I loved soccer right away,” said Connor, of his tyke-playing days. “I love how active you are and having fun. My dad helped me a lot. We had a pretty big net in the back yard.”

He’s received superb coaching all the way up, with Claire Paterson, David Broadhurst and Wayne Aasen of the Vernon academy and TOFC head coach Shaun Flanigan all instrumental in pushing Glennon to be better mentally and physically.

“I wanna get a scholarship and maybe take it from there,” said Glennon, who is better concentrating on team strategies with intelligent decisions this year. “I learned a lot from David. I always learned stuff from my dad, but David taught me how to make my first touch, how to trap the ball and to think, ‘shot, shot.’ I want to keep learning.”

Glennon, who played Y-League (now EA Sports) as an underager last year, has amped up his first touches in twice weekly one-on-one sessions with Aasen since December.

A former downhill ski racer, Glennon now free skis in the Telus Park at Silver Star with his friends.

MacAulay is an acrobatic keeper with a powerful kick who had a fabulous first season with the TOFC after moving here from Bellingham.

“I’ve always played goal,” said MacAulay, who turned 13 in January. “I found I had really good reflexes and I kind of liked the pressure; when I made the save, the crowd cheered. I’ve taken lots of shots to the face but I don’t mind.”

MacAulay’s mom, Irene, took the phone call confirming Taitum’s provincial selection.

“That was probably the best day of my life, and it came right before the last day of school,” smiled Taitum, who got an award for perfect attendance at Kidston Elementary.

He played U11 and U12 Rep Development in Bellingham and blossomed under Paterson’s spring goalkeeping clinics in Vernon.

“Claire’s taught me a lot. She really helped me to make better dives. When I first got there, I wasn’t that good at dives. Now I can make the crazy, diving saves.”

MacAaulay, whose dad, Mike, is a respiratory therapist, beams when he talks about his soccerloving grama, Marjorie MacAaulay.

“She’s always at my games.”

The provincial team will train in Vancouver until July 21 in preparation for the regional championships, July 22-29, in Winnipeg.

Head coach Darren Rath sent a letter to both teams, explaining why they were chosen.

Wrote Rath: “Your selection was based on an evaluation of your technical, tactical and physical abilities as a player. In addition to the scouting process, the Provincial Teams Program coaching staff took into consideration your performances within Phase 1 and 2 of the program along with information and recommendations from the EA Sports B.C. Soccer Premier League technical directors and club team coaching staff.

“This included your individual personality and overall commitment to develop as a high performance player.”

The Vipers' golf tournament goes Aug. 26.

Vipers tee up tourney Morning Star Staff

Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens is confirmed. So is Jerred Smithson of the Florida Panthers.

The two NHLers, who have strong ties to the Vernon Vipers, will help jumpstart the B.C. Hockey League team’s inaugural Charity Golf Tournament for KidSport.

The 18-hole scramble goes Sunday, Aug. 26 at The Golf Club at The Rise, who are running the tourney alongside the Vipers.

Entry fee is $150 which includes golf, power cart, dinner tee gift and prizes. There will be a 1 p.m. shotgun start.

“We’d love to get 120 players and fill it,” said Lee Ranger, head pro at The Rise. “It’s wide open to adults and juniors and we’ll have special hole sponsors and hole-in-one prizes.”

The Vipers will open the weekend with an exhibition game on the Saturday night against the North American Hockey League Wenatchee Wild (Wesbild Centre).

Proceeds from the game will also be directed to KidSport. There will be silent auction items available at both venues.

“KidSport is the charitable arm of Sport B.C. and has been distributing money to underprivileged children that could not afford to participate in sports, since 1993,” said Ann Holmes of Vernon.

“KidSport communities have been created around the province to allow the funds to be administered locally, with all monies raised staying right in the community. In 2001, the Greater Vernon KidSport Fund was established, and started raising funds and distributing money for children in need in the Greater Vernon area.”

Entries and sponsorship at several levels are required. Interested parties may call Ranger at 250-545-7425, or e-mail lee.ranger@therise.ca, or Vipers’ marketing manager Paula Coulter at 250542-6022 ext. 200, or marketing@vipers.bc.ca.

Rockets ground Sunterra Morning Star Staff

Randy’s Rockets upset Sunterra Custom Homes Sistas 4-1 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer League Division 2 play Thursday night at Marshall Field #5.

Maria Thorlakson, Torren Huntley, Sam Audley and Lia Ciotoli scored for the Rockets (4-6-2), who snapped the 6-1-5 Sistas’ undefeated streak at 11 games. The Sistas had lots of shots, but couldn’t buy a goal. Deanna Baker was relentless up front, hitting the post a few times.

Baker crossed one to Madison Demers, whose shot was stopped by the keeper and the rebound came to Andrea Zubot, who took a try. A defender deflected the ball back to Demers who buried the Sistas’ goal.

Sharina Zantingh was the Boston Pizza Lady of the Match at stopper, while Becky Birbilis played well in net.

In other action, NOU ambushed Centerline Attack 8-0 at Marshall #4.

Jennilee Jellicott and Sandy Thiessen each scored twice for NOU (6-2-4), while defender Pat Nielson scored one. Dar Wiese earned the shutout, getting solid support from youth call-up Kaylee Barss.

Stephanie Paull and Dana Dimmick shared the

2-9-1 Centreline goalkeeping, while some great forward pushes were turned in by newcomer Lisa Tenowski in the midfield. Natalie Lussin was sharp at midfield/forward in her final game before heading to South America for the summer.

In over 50s men’s soccer action, Mike Lloyd scored a pair of second-half goals as Kal Tire rallied to tie the Kelowna Kickers 2-2 at Kettle Valley Field.

Bruce McAuliffe and Fred Molzahn, on a penalty kick, gave the Kickers an early lead. Jenne Huberts drew assists on both of Lloyd’s tallies with keeper Pete Richter using a booming 50-yard boot to set up the first goal.

Lloyd, whose rocket 20-yard free kick was blocked nicely by keeper Kelly Biffard, was named the Carl’s Jr. Man of the Match. Biffard also dove to get his fingertips on a slow rolling shot by Jim Sparrow. Kal Tire is 7-5-1.

The Silver Stars lost 3-1 to Penticton at Constable Neil Bruce School Field in West Kelowna.

Central defenders Rob Ross and Al Bensmiller did not complain about lack of exercise for the Stars (5-6-2). John Matejka clicked on a header off a great cross from Phil Fanfani for the Stars’ goal.

The Old Spice Man of the Match was stand-in keeper Dave Gould.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Even if your logic tells you otherwise, it might be smart to follow your intuitive perceptions, especially in your commercial dealings.

Your instincts will be right on the money.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) When dealing with someone who is difficult to figure out, it might be smart for you to try to appeal to his or her emotions, which might give you a clue to understanding what you’re dealing with.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) If you have to perform an arduous task, try to do it out of the range of kibitzers and advisers.

They may mean well, but left to your own devices, you can do a good job.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) There is nothing wrong with being in love with love. In fact, if that’s how you want to play it, know that there is ample room in this world for an optimistic romantic.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) When it comes to several critical assignments involving deadlines, unless you discipline yourself, you might have trouble finishing them all on time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) There is a strong possibility that both your computer and telephone will be be very busy, either with you trying to reach others or them trying to touch base with you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Your instincts for spotting excellent bargains are especially sharp. If you

have the inclination, opportunity and money, it’s a good time to get out and go shopping.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Don’t let anyone put you in a position where your flexibility is limited. The more independently you are able to operate, the more effective you are likely to be.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) It’s kind of you to be responsive to someone in need, and the person who requires help isn’t likely to forget it. In fact, down the line she or he is likely to make a sacrifice for you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The world will see you as a friend because, much to your credit, you’ll not only give a hoot, but you’ll go out of your way to help in every situation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Things that appear difficult at first will turn out to be a breeze once you get into them, mostly because you’ll look at the obstacles involved as stepping stones.

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.

Pantzers celebrate 60 years Congratulations and good wishes are sent warmly to Herb and Esther Pantzer.

They were united in marriage June 7, 1952. A celebration is planned for their diamond wedding anniversary on July 8, 2012.

Herb and Esther welcome all their friends and family to an open house this afternoon, at the clubhouse at Sandpiper.

The couple met and were married in Yorton, Sask. They lived in Saskatchewan and Alberta, until their retirement to Vernon in 1992.

God has blessed them with six children; one son passed away five years ago. Two daughters and a son live in the Okanagan, and two sons live in Alberta.

Herb and Esther Pantzer: married June 7, 1952.

They are blessed with seven grand children and three great-grandchildren.

Herb enjoyed a career in carpentry and construction. Esther was a home maker, then worked as a care aide.

Herb and Esther have volunteered at various organizations throughout the years, and continue to stay involved in the community. They are both active members of St. Johns Lutheran Church.

A romance that began in Dunster Les and Ruth McNaughton are celebrating 65 years of marriage this year.

Les McNaughton was born Oct. 9, 1924 in McBride, B.C., the fifth of six children to John Alexander and Bessie Agnes (Boyd) McNaughton. He started school in 1930 in the old log school, attending until he completed Grade 8, which was all that was offered at the time.

Ruth Fells was born Oct. 23, 1927, at the family farm in Allan, Sask., the third of four children born to Frank and Tracy Fells. She graduated from City Park Collegiate Institution in Saskatoon, Sask., June 1945.

Les and Ruth began their romance back in Dunster, B.C., in the Robson Valley near McBride. Les earned his living making fence posts, farming and working in the bush.

For a short while, he worked in a garage in Irma, Alta.

It was after returning from Alberta that he met Ruth, who was visiting her sister-in-law,

Ruth and Les McNaughton: married July 1, 1947 and celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary this year.

Grace Fells, that summer in Dunster while her brother, Robert, was still serving overseas.

That fall, at the age of 17, she started teaching.

In his memoirs, Les recalls those first few meetings with his future bride.

“It was four miles each way and by getting up early I could feed and harness the team of horses, have breakfast, drive most of the way at a good trot, load 200 posts and be ready to start back at exactly the right time to give the nice young school teacher a ride as far as the Lee school, a wee bit over a mile,” he said.

On her 19th birthday, Les gave Ruth an engagement ring and

they were married the next summer, July 1, 1947.

Ruth continued to teach school for a few years after they were married, while Les made his living either farming, driving cat, working in the bush, trapping or driving the school bus.

Their major occupation was farming and they put most of their efforts into building up a beef herd.

After five and half years of marriage, Les and Ruth welcomed their first child, Ralph, in the old McBride hospital, Dec. 16, 1952, followed by Doreen, May 13, 1955, and Boyd, Oct. 7, 1967, in the new McBride hospital.

Ruth enjoyed gar-

dening and tending house plants. She was interested in the family’s livestock operations, including the beef auctions in Edmonton. From the time she learned to read, she could always be found with her nose in a book and made full use of every library she could find. For several years, she kept the travelling library at the McNaughton home in Dunster.

Les continued to hunt and always came home with a tasty buck in the fall for meat. He spent a lot of time in the outdoors and has lots of stories to tell of his encounters with bears.

He has always enjoyed visiting, playing cards,

good stories, a good joke and reading westerns, such as the novels of Louis L’Amour.

In 1981, Les, Ruth and Boyd relocated to Sicamous, where Les spent many years as ice maker at the Sicamous Curling Rink.

They have since been blessed with eight grandchildren: Tara, Shannon, Tracey, Tim, John, Teige, Ceilidh and Leith. They have also been blessed with three great-grandchildren: Joshua, Brianna and Angel.

Les and Ruth moved to Vernon in 2003.

On July 1, the McNaughtons enjoyed a 65th anniversary celebration with family and friends in attendance.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder SHOULD DUMMY PLAY HIGH, MIDDLE OR LOW? Colin Firth, Oscar winner for “The King’s Speech,” said, “Almost every comedy you see is about people making all wrong choices and making all the errors of judgment possible. Good comedy is when it works on this scale, because it is psychologically very real.”

Almost every bridge deal you see is about players making wrong choices and errors of judgment. Good bridge is when this does not happen.

In today’s deal, South is in three no-trump after East made a one-spade overcall.

West leads the spade seven.

Should declarer call for dummy’s six, 10 or queen?

South is not fond of

responding one no-trump with only one spade stopper, but he has little choice. Passing with seven points is to be avoided if at all possible.

Declarer has five top tricks: one spade (given the lead), three hearts and one diamond. However, the clubs will provide four more winners. The risk is that the defenders might get one club and four spades.

Suppose South calls for dummy’s six or 10. East covers cheaply. Here, if East takes the trick, declarer is all right; but that play would not work if East had the club ace. And if South wins this trick, West gets in with the club ace and leads his second spade, giving the defense one club and four spades.

Now let declarer choose dummy’s queen. What happens?

East must win with his ace, but cannot continue spades without conceding a second trick in the suit.

Suppose East shifts to the diamond king. Declarer wins with dummy’s ace and drives out the club ace, cruising home safely.

Tourney helps Hospice

Because You Care DO IT FOR DAD SPONSORS

CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff

The Home Building Centre sixth annual Ladies Only Golf Tournament played through the rain to raise $26,740 for the North Okanagan Hospice Society.

“It rained three times and we got drenched but everyone was really good about it. It’s such a fun time with everyone from serious to not very experienced golfers all wanting to help a good cause. This year’s tournament was special for us because we had lost one of our staff members and Hospice House was there for him when it was needed,” said tournament organizer Daphne Coleman.

“We had a really good response from the community with 21 teams from local businesses and organizations. We had a lot of staff members out to play and some of the guys helping with the games at the holes and as caddies and butlers.”

Event organizers are already working on plans for the next golf tournament June 7, 2013.

“Everybody puts a lot of thought into it and it’s a lot of work but it’s worth it. We have some great new ideas,” said Coleman.

The money helps continue Hospice community programs, which are available to everyone, whether they have had someone at

Enderby resident Joan Reid takes part in her daily training on Vernon’s Swan Lake in preparation for competing in the rowing competition at the London 2012 Paralympic Games this summer.

Reid’s training leads to London CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff

Joan Reid grew up in Fort St. James — a girl who liked bike riding in a hockey town.

She wasn’t interested in sports and after a car accident in 1985 left her in a wheelchair, there were other things to think about. “I never really considered myself an athlete but when I got back from Serbia, I felt like an athlete,� said Reid, 51, who qualified for the London 2012 Paralympic Games in the ASWx class in rowing. She won her final single-scull rowing race by 22 seconds at a qualifying event in Belgrade in May. Rowing was originally a cross-training sport for Reid when she started cross-country skiing with the goal of competing in the 2010 Paralympic Games. She won a number of races, including two World Cup silvers. “I tried downhill skiing with Silver Star Adaptive Snow Sports with Randy Schellenberg.

He’s great. He started a lot of adaptive sports in the area. Then I got into para-nordic skiing,� she said. “I think I would have made it for 2010 if I hadn’t broken my rib rowing but I just couldn’t get back to where I was.�

Then Bill Maloney, a cross-country ski coach, encouraged her with a training program and fitness trainer Cindy Garvin started to help her with exercises and she was inspired to try rowing again. The next step was to train with Rowing BC provincial coach Martin George at the Vernon Rowing and Paddling Centre on Swan Lake starting about a year ago.

She now rows with a unique prosthetic chest piece designed by Alan Blyt of Hagar Orthotics in Kelowna. “This is the only one of its type in the world and it not only gives me support, but assists me to train long hours injury free,� said Reid, who qualified to continue on the road to London last summer in an Ontario time trial. She felt she wasn’t ready for the World Cup last year but trained all winter, including at a camp in Florida, and submitted her ergometer scores to Rowing Canada.

She is taking leave from her job as a church administrator in Enderby, where she lives, and her business, Cat-tale Cottages, rental cabins on Gardom Lake, to concentrate on training.

Her day starts at 6 a.m. when she gets up, has breakfast, does a few things around the house and is on Swan Lake by 8:30 a.m. six days a week. After that it’s a rest, something to eat and off to work in the gym with Gavin or on her bike on alternate days, followed by a nap. After supper, she tries to relax or do some office work. “This stage of her training is intense.

Joan’s got some really good technique. Her strength is going to take her a long way. She’s a joy to work with. I love working with adaptive athletes. It’s a challenging and rewarding thing for me to do,� said Gavin.

Reid will be competing Aug. 31, Sept.

1 and 2 at Dorney Course at Eton in onekilometre races where her best time is five minutes and 58 seconds. She will be rowing

PHOTOS SUBMITTED

Coach Martin George thinks Reid is well prepared. “It’s an amazing result from someone who has come a long way in just a year. Joan has worked very hard to get to where she is and she showed with her performance at Belgrade that she wanted a sport at the Paralympic Games,� he said.

Reid took part in a regatta in Italy before competing in Belgrade, so she knows seven of the rowers she will be up against in London.

She’s set to go to a training camp in Portugal in August. There’s no turning back now.

“It’s not just me. I can’t just take it easy. A lot of people are putting a lot of time and energy into me — my coaches and trainers and Go Row and Paddling, and Vernon Rowing and Paddling Centre for sponsoring me and the Enderby Lions Club for getting new rowing clothes for me. My friends at my Bible study group help with meals because I don’t like to cook and they give me a lot of emotional and spiritual support. So many people have helped along the way and I’m really grateful for that,� she said. “I still get nervous before a race but I’ve learned to handle it. I know what I have to do and I’m going to do it and I hope I can bring back a medal.� ■■■Paralymics Summer Games are the second largest sporting event in the world today, the first being the Olympic Games.

The creation of athletic games for people with disabilities goes back to the Second World War and a doctor in England, Ludwig Guttmann, who believed in using sports therapy to enhance the quality of life for people who were wounded during the war. He organized the 1948 international Wheelchair Games to coincide with the 1948 London Olympics. Since then, the games have grown to include events for athletes with a variety of disabilities.

The last Paralympics Summer Games were held in Beijing, China in 2008 with more than 4,000 athletes from 148 countries taking part. The first Paralympic Winter Games were held in Sweden in 1976.

And last month, Jo-Ann Johnston travelled to Government House in Victoria to be presented with the Diamond Jubilee Medal by Lt.-Gov. Steven L. Point, who is also Vice Prior of the Order of St. John.

“I am very excited, overwhelmed, and so honoured to be chosen,” said Johnston. “Since I learned about this award, (my husband) Laurence

The BC & Yukon Council submitted eight nominations for community services volunteers and six were approved by National for this honour.

Traveling can be exciting and a chance to get away from the hustle of the real world, but it also can derail a person’s healthy routines.

People may become relaxed with their nutrition selections or think that it’s too much effort to exercise. With numerous opportunities to travel — whether for business, family vacations, or weekend getaways — TOPS Club, Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the nonprofit weight-loss support organization, along with the Produce for Better Health Foundation, shares hints to help stay on the wellness track, cut out calories, and feel satisfied.

Eat healthy on the move.

■ Bring your own meal for the flight or car ride. Homemade sandwiches and fresh fruit are a great option. Not only will you be able to control what you eat, but you will save time and money.

■ Pick up prepackaged fruit and vegetables at the grocery store.

TOPS shares healthy eating tips for travellers Morning Star Staff

butter in a tube or small container to pair with fruit or granola bars.

Be smart with snacks.

■ Have a sweet tooth? Keep dried fruit, which provides diseasefighting antioxidants, handy for snacking instead of candy. It can also be mixed with nuts and sunflower seeds to create trail mix.

■ Pack peppers, celery, or carrots to snack on. Resealable containers are perfect for dips, such as ranch dressing, peanut butter or hummus.

■ Frozen grapes make great bite-size snacks and are delicious with low-fat cheese.

Eat out without overdoing it.

■ Check out your destination online and look at restaurant menus before the trip. This will give you an opportunity to find places that serve healthy options.

■ Practise eating small portions. Bring half the meal home or share an entrée with a friend.

Consider choosing two appetizers instead of one entrée.

Give thought to your drinks.

■ Switch from soda to low-fat milk, water, or tea with one sugar or a non-nutritive sweetener.

■ Opt for tomato juice or vegetable juice on the plane.

■ Out for coffee or a smoothie? Order the smallest size available, request coffee with fatfree or low-fat milk, skip the whipped cream, ask that the smoothie be prepared without added sugar.

Watch portions, but don’t deprive yourself.

■ Use the half-plate rule. Make fruits and vegetables 50 per cent of what you eat at

every meal.

■ Don’t skip your favourite dessert or fried foods. Eat smaller portions of these foods and just make it a treat.

■ Don’t cut out meals. This may lead to eating too much later in the day.

Phantom finds his Christine in Vernon KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff

The character he played on stage was masked and hidden from the world, but in real life Welsh tenor Peter Karrie is all about meeting and engaging people.

The singer, best known for his role in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera, is returning to the Okanagan, where he has made many friends and fans from past visits the last few years.

One person who can now call Karrie a friend and colleague is Vernon soprano Melina Moore.

The singers met two years ago, when Karrie heard Moore singing via her website and contacted the soprano about performing with him for a show he was giving in Kamloops.

“I agreed and we’ve been working together ever since,” said Moore, who is about to join Karrie again on a new tour through the Okanagan.

Entitled The Phantom of the Opera Returns, the tour will be the third collaboration between Moore and Karrie.

“We’ve been helping to connect one another with different opportunities. For example, he connected me with the upcoming Pacific Tattoo festival I’m participating in in Victoria in two weeks for 14,000 people... and I have invited him back to B.C. for this upcoming tour,” said Moore.

The tour will feature Moore playing the role of Christine to Karrie’s Phantom in an intimate concert series, which features all the hits from Phantom of the Opera and other selections from Karrie’s best-known roles.

“I’ve never sung the Christine role in its entirety, but have done most of the individual pieces in it,” said Moore. “It is a challenge, but also a role that was written for me, perfect for my voice type (coloratura), and so thrilling.

However, it’s singing with Peter that makes it the most spectacular of all; performing with someone who has his role honed to an absolute science. He brings out the absolute best in me and raises everything to another level. It’s just magic onstage.”

Hailing originally from Wales, Karrie has

Karrie was also one of the original cast members of Chess, playing the role of Freddy Trumper, and the host of his own BBC television chat show, Peter Karrie.... Unmasked.

Moore has taken on as many operatic roles with her upbringing in New York City and education at Juilliard. Her professional career has grown since she moved to the Okanagan more than a decade ago, with solo tours in Canada and the U.S. and appearances with symphonies around B.C. She also performs regularly at Vernon’s Sparkling Hill Wellness Resort and with the Dharma Dolls, a trio featuring fellow divas Judy Rose and Tanya Lipscomb.

After their Okanagan tour, Moore and Karrie will next reunite in Creete, Greece to appear at the Mediterranean International Arts Festival in September.

“I lived in Greece for several months when I was a teenager, on the island of Samos, with my family. My father was called there for his work. I loved it,” said Moore.

“This will be my first trip to Greece as an adult. The festival celebrates the best of many art forms across the country –– dance, vocal and instrumental music, orchestras, etc. It’s PHOTOS SUBMITTED a two-week long festival in Heraklion, set Welsh tenor Peter Karrie and Vernon soprano Melina Moore team up for The Phantom of the Opera amidst the ruins of Crete.

No River winds its way out west with a stop at Gallery Vertigo Morning Star Staff

Gallery Vertigo is presenting the band No River in an intimate concert at its location in downtown Vernon, Friday, July 13.

The Alberta-based band is looking to ignite passions and burn barns over the summer, while

extensively traveling the country’s primary and secondary highways.

Recently featured on CBC Radio’s Six Degrees of Separation, No River were the winners of Best Song Performance at the Calgary Songwriting Competition (2012).

The band’s self-produced debut,

Don’t Pray (2011), presents immersive songwriting encapsulated in a mix of warm tones, rich vocal harmonies, folk instrumentation, and haunting melodies. The record chronicles band members’ experiences living in a derelict turn-ofthe-century Alberta farm house in

the dead of winter.

Within the music, guitar, lap steel, Leslie powered organ, banjo, shimmering piano lines, and an unbroken rhythm section, provide the backdrop for both heartfelt and heavy vocal content and phrasings.

It is this diversity of instru-

mentation and arrangement that provide each song with a unique feeling and imagery.

The band’s performance at Vertigo, 3001-31st Ave. starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are available in advance at the Bean Scene for $10 and at the door for $15.

Anytime, Anywhere.

See if you can spot the similarities when children’s entertainer Kiki the Eco Elf and multi-instrumentalist/singer Tanya Lipscomb each give CD release concerts at The Hub Arts Collective, Thursday.

Artist tours both her better halves Morning Star Staff

One is a green-haired, face painting, singing elf, and the other is a jazzy, trip-hop, loop pedalling one-woman dynamo.

Vernon’s Tanya Lipscomb and her alter ego, colourful children’s entertainer Kiki the Eco Elf, are about to embark on a cross-country tour this summer, and each is performing at The Hub Arts Collective Thursday to launch her respective CDs. With the tour expected to take her to the Atlantic and back, Lipscomb says she is also thrilled about the release of both her’s and Kiki’s latest recordings.

As the singing, dancing, and magicmaking elf, known for her educational songs on the environment, Kiki often engages children with puppets and sing-a-longs.

Her latest CD, Children Of The Earth, follows her debut with a similar theme of a sustainable earth.

“Children are our best hope for a sustainable future, and that is why I have made it a priority to inspire, encourage and teach children about the environment before it is too late,” she said.

Lipscomb, meanwhile, has won numerous awards for her inventive lyr-

ics and her rich, soulful three-octave voice. Touring as a solo artist, she has brought audiences to tears and laughter and to the dance floor, and she hopes to do that again on this upcoming tour.

She is currently promoting the release of her latest albums, Revolutionary (2011) and Around the World on a Loop Pedal (2012).

On the latter album, and in her live shows, Lipscomb uses a Boss RC-50 triple phrase loop pedal, which she says acts as her backing band with her guitar, bass, piano, drums, washboard and percussive instruments.

As the most recent album denotes, audiences will be taken on a journey around the world as Lipscomb performs songs of all different genres including funk, Latin-Afro, jazz, Celtic, soul, triphop, rock, folk, roots and blues.

Kiki’s performance at The Hub (located beside the Towne Theatre, downtown Vernon) Thursday starts at 3:30 p.m. Doors open at 3 p.m. and admission to the show is $2.

Lipscomb takes the stage with surprise musical guests that night at 8 p.m. with doors opening at 7:30. Entrance is by donation, and all proceeds go to The Hub Arts Collective to support their haven for Okanagan artists.

The Amazing Spiderman

P

eter Parker (Andrew Garfield) is a bright and curious teenager. One day, while trying to discover something about his estranged father, he finds himself in a laboratory full of genetically engineered spiders.

One of the superbugs bites him and before too long he develops Taylor & Howe spiderlike powers. Spending his nights out late, Parker exercises his crime fighting skills and shirks his responsibilities at home, which leads to tension with his caregivers, Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) and Aunt May (Sally Fields).

Between living up to his teenage desires with girlfriend Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) and his newfound purpose in life, Spiderman has his web slinging hands full.

Can he live up to his power and responsibility? Can he live a normal and yet extraordinary life? Do we really need another Spiderman franchise?

We say, “See it, Webheads.”

HOWE: Holy snapped off lizard tails Batman, another remake of a remake of a TV series of a comic book hero?

We needed a new Spiderman.

The old franchise with Toby McGuire was okay, but it felt too cartoonish. This one feels more grown up, a little darker and serious.

TAYLOR: This franchise promises to do for Spidey what The Dark Knight did for

REEL REVIEWS

JAIMIE TRUEBLOOD/COLUMBIA PICTURES

Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield spin a romance as Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker in The Amazing Spiderman.

Batman, which I think legitimizes the stories and puts them in the real world. I’m a Spidey fan. I usually relate to the smart alecs, which was an aspect the Sam Raimi films lacked. But if I didn’t know anything about Spiderman and I saw Raimi’s first, then this film, I would prefer the newer one, despite it being basically the same film.

HOWE: That’s one thing that annoys me about these movies ––Spiderman, Batman, The Hulk, etcetera–– whenever a new director takes over, they always start again from the beginning. Do we really need to know how Peter Parker becomes Spiderman, Bruce Wayne as Batman? We

see the same story, the same villains over and over again.

If they want to show the story again then give us some baddies we haven’t seen before.

TAYLOR: Well, you got your wish in this film ––the baddy was some giant lizard dude I’d never seen before–– but your complaint is valid.

Being a Spidey fan, and despite the high quality of this film, I found myself bored, as in, “Yeah, yeah, I already know all this.”

HOWE: I must admit that The Amazing Spiderman was beautiful to look at. I did like it when Spidey was swinging on his web, it gave you a first person view of how it felt to be flying.

TAYLOR: The film was very metallic looking, from the hard and shiny city to his reflective suit. It was nice to see him swinging through busy streets, however, some of the fight and motion sequences were too close and too fast to see all the action. The 3D was negligible, certainly not worth the extra three dollars.

HOWE: Overall, it’s a wellpolished film, but not necessarily amazing.

–– Howe gives The Amazing Spiderman 3.5 sticky fingers out of 5.

–– Taylor gives it 3 teenage PHDs out of 5.

The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Ghost Tours of Vernon creator and guide Gabriel David Sumegi Newman the second leads a group through the haunted streets of Vernon.

Scare up some local history Ghosts Tours of Vernon sets off on its ninth hauntingly fun season today Morning Star Staff

The ghosts of Vernon have arisen once again.

Residents and visitors looking for local haunts and a little exercise can have some good spirited fun when the Greater Vernon Museum and Archives hosts Ghost Tours of Vernon for another summer of spine tingling ghastly tales and haunted houses.

This walking and talking storytelling event, which starts today, has been enjoyed by locals and tourists alike for the past eight years.

“It is hard to believe that this will be our ninth year of holding the tours,” said creator and host Gabriel

David Sumegi Newman the second.

A professional storyteller and performer, Newman created the ghost tours as a way of combining the art of storytelling with local history.

“You come for the ghosts, which there are many of, but you leave with a new understanding and appreciation for the history of the region,” he said.

Tours leave at 9 p.m. from the steps of the Vernon Museum every Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from today until Aug. 8.

It is an outdoor walking tour and runs rain or shine, so dress appropriately. Ticket price is $10 for those over the age of 12 and $5 for those 12 and under (cash only).

No reservations are necessary unless you want to book a private tour for 20 or more. Contact Newman at 250-260-8757 or e-mail ghosttours@ shaw.ca for more information.

Arts Armstrong dancers cruise to performance Morning Star Staff

Six dancers from the Armstrong Dance Academy (formerly Susan Paisley School of Dance) recently made their debut aboard a cruise ship bound for Alaska.

The young women danced aboard the Celebrity Century line on May 23, with a second performance on May 26.

Academy owner and teacher Susan Bensmiller started rehearsals with the dancers in September, 2011, and began arranging for the performance back in March 2011.

“It was more than a performing experience – it was great personal growth for the girls,” she said.

The dancers performed a 30-minute show, which included modern, classical ballet and jazz. Bensmiller’s father, pianist Ross Paisley, accompanied the dancers for IAN BULL PHOTOGRAPHY the classical ballet Chopin Dancers Emily Groeneveld, back from left, Kendyl Foster, Leah Wells, Maria Sloot, Emily Gunning, front left, Fantasy. and Chloe van der Meer have recently returned from performing aboard the Celebrity Century cruise ship.

Indie band Metric makes its way to Kelowna KELOWNA –– Indie rock band Metric is making an appearance at Prospera Place in Kelowna Nov. 12.

Comprised of Toronto’s Emily Haines, on vocals, with Americans Joshua Winstead, Jimmy Shaw and Joules Scott Key, on guitar, bass and drums, the band has been empowered by their innovative approach to the music business.

Metric self-released their last album Fantasies on five continents without the benefit of a label and earned themselves multiple radio hits around the world with songs such as Gimme Sympathy, Gold Guns Girls, and Help I’m Alive.

They went on to sell over a million singles and 500,000 albums worldwide.

Fantasies earned Metric Album of the Year and Band of the Year at the Canadian Juno Awards, and the band finished 2010 with their music featured in two major Hollywood films including Scott Pilgrim vs The World and the Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

The Twilight soundtrack was nominated for a Grammy Award and landed Metric on the Academy Award nomi-

nation short list in 2011 for the theme song they co-wrote with composer Howard Shore.

The band has since partnered up with Shore on another project: the score to David Cronenberg’s latest film Cosmopolis, composed

by Shore and performed

by Metric, due out this year.

Metric’s fifth fulllength studio album Synthetica was released on June 12 of this year.

Sonically futuristic yet organic, this album sounds like the culmina-

tion of all the music the band has made in their 10 years together.

First single Youth Without Youth examines the fraying social state with a bristling energy and a driving beat.

Breathing Underwater and Speed the Collapse both deliver on the classic Metric chorus of soaring melancholy, while the lyrics for Lost Kitten and Clone call out some bad behaviour and the consequences.

Hard rocking title track Synthetica offers an epic conclusion to sus-

penseful album opener Artificial Noctune.

Metric will be on tour throughout 2012 and have already announced select tour dates in North America, U.K., Europe and Australia.

Opening for the band in Kelowna is singersongwriter Stars.

Tickets are $29.50 to $45, now available at www.selectyourtickets. com or call 250) 7625050.

A new type of hearing aid is now being marketed in Europe and the U.S. called SoundBite. It directs sound through the jaw bone and into the inner ear.

Enhance Studio erasing tattoo dilemma Morning Star Staff

People gets tattoos for all sorts of reasons, but some don’t truly comprehend their permanence before they go under the gun.

Whether they no longer like the artwork, there was a design or spelling mistake by the artist, or the name of that ‘one true love’ is no longer relevant because the couple is no longer together, there are plenty of reasons why people want them removed.

In the past, tattoo removal procedures bordered on barbaric, and could sometimes lead to permanent scarring. Dermabrasion (sanding), cryosurgery (freezing the tissue) and excision (surgical removal with skin grafting) were some of the common methods used.

Vernon’s Enhance Studio Clinical Esthetics is helping change that with its Q-switched laser treatment to remove the ink pigment.

A tattoo consists of thousands of particles of pigment suspended in the skin. These particles are too large for the body to break down and absorb, which is why they remain permanently in the skin.

Lasers cause the pigment to heat up and break apart so the fragments can be absorbed or expelled by the body.

Advancements in technology have made the use of lasers much more cost effective, allowing technicians to work on different colors of pigment and skin.

The success of the treatment is determined by the Kirby-Desai Scale, a predictive scale used to assess the potential success, and number of treatments necessary for laser tattoo removal. It takes into account skin type, tattoo location, amount of ink, layerings, scarring or tissue changes from the tattoo application.

Some of the more difficult removals are located on the extremities such as the ankle, which take the longest.

“We have experienced an average of three to nine sessions (is required),” said Kristie Moore, owner of Enhance Studio. “Treatments are spaced six to eight weeks apart to minimize the risk of scarring, and to allow the body time to absorb and expel the ink.”

One of the main factors contributing to the success of the treatment is the client’s immune system; the more healthy the client, the better the results. Moore says adequate hydration, healthy diet, exercise, correct sleeping habits and a non-smoking lifestyle can also lead to improved results.

Since it opened in 1986, Enhance Studio has remained abreast of industry trends. In 1990, they were the first company in Western Canada to provide permanent make-up for brow correction, lip augmentation and eyeliner. In 1997, they expanded into several laser services (vein, hair and pigment removal, skin resurfacing and skin tightening).

Tighter mortgage restrictions affect housing market Morning Star Staff

For the fourth time in as many years, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has tightened mortgage rules, and Valley First Credit Union says the latest round of changes, which take effect Monday, may have a significant effect on homeowners and potential buyers.

The major changes to mortgage rules include reducing the amortization on government-insured mortgages from 30 to 25 years, and lowering the amount of equity homeowners can take out of their homes in a refinancing of their home from 85 to 80 per cent.

The new rules, announced by finance Minister Jim Flaherty, are designed to make it harder to buy and borrow against your home, slow the growth of a potential real estate bubble and curb the accumulation of household debt.

“Lowering amortization and refinancing ratios is a good

move,” said Jim Lamond, vice-president of credit at Valley First. “This change will protect homeowners from borrowing too much against the value of their homes, which can be a real concern in areas that are seeing a drop in home value.”

While Lamond agrees with tightening the rules around refinancing, he notes the shortened amortization will place a heavier burden on people looking to buy a home.

“Cutting amortization is going to make purchasing a home difficult for younger people and first-time buyers.

Affordability will take an instant hit, pricing many people out of the market.

“Couple this with our decreasing rental vacancy rates; we could see a situation where those who can’t afford to buy are suddenly facing steep increases in rent.”

Lamond explains the reduction in amortization roughly equates to an increase in mortgage rates of about 0.9 per cent

LOOK IN RealEstate

(assuming a five-year fixed mortgage rate of 3.3 per cent on a $290,000 mortgage, after a 20-per-cent down payment on an average home). Beyond buying and refinancing, the cooling effect new mortgage rules potentially could have on the housing market may negatively impact the wider economy.

“We have been hearing the growing buzz of construction in a number of communities around the Interior,” said Lamond. “A lot of people rely on this industry for their livelihood. If we dampen the growth in this sector, we could see significant flow-on effects such as declining investment and job losses.”

Other changes in mortgage rules include limiting the availability of government-backed mortgages to homes with a purchase price of less than $1 million; fixing the maximum gross debt service ratio at 39 per cent; and the maximum total debt service ratio at 44 per cent.

Tourism cashes in

L

ast weekend was certainly Funtastic. After a cool, wet spring it was just what Vernon needed to shake off the gloom and let loose.

The Funtastic Slo-Pitch Tournament hosts 300 teams in the three north Okanagan communities of Vernon, Armstrong and Enderby. More than 4,500 players, with an additional 1,500 family members, showed up to play and party for the holiday weekend.

2012 marked the tourney’s 28th anniversary, and to date, Funtastic is Canada’s largest slo-pitch tournament and music festival. The Funtastic Lawn Bowling Tournament, hosted at Polson Park by the Vernon Lawn Bowling Club, also attracts a significant contingent of visitors to our area.

According to the Canadian Sport Tourism Alliances’ STEAM model of the valuation of economic benefits of sporting events, Funtastic injects more than $4.5 million annually directly into the economy. There is another $2.5 million in indirect economic impact as those monies are re-distributed throughout the community.

In a quick survey of randomly chosen businesses in Vernon, the financial effects provide a muchneeded shot in the arm. The weather has had a generally negative effect on tourism so far this year, so hotels and motels were happily reporting that they were operating fairly close to capacity, with some

sold out nights last weekend.

This was about the same as last year. For the most part, hoteliers also noted that ball teams this year were relatively well behaved, though there were a few incidents.

Fast food outlets were major benefactors with noticeable sales increases in franchises throughout the region. In Vernon, A&W Restaurants noted a 30 per cent increase in sales from the previous weekend.

Liquor sales from private retail outlets showed some increases over last year, with an interesting side note that liquor delivery services were very popular. Some people are apparently starting to take more responsibility in their choice to not drink and drive.

George Duffy Retailers downtown were a little bedeviled by the weather this year.

The shops that normally sell fun food, treats and impulse products missed the usual sales as foot traffic was down over this year’s weekend.

The next big event rolling into town will be the newly reinvented Sturgis North 2012 Motorcycle Rally Trade Show and Music Festival, July 18 to 22, at Motoplex Speedway and Event Park in Spallumcheen. Advanced bookings at hotels are showing a promising trend for this so far.

George Duffy is the general manager of the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce.

Some tips for self-employed borrowers

I

t seems we have entered a new era in mortgage applications.

The body that controls lending rules in Canada is the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions.

OSFI is an independent agency and the sole regulator of banks, and the primary regulator of insurance companies, trust companies, loan companies and pension plans in Canada.

In the past, self employed persons could apply for a new mortgage and be processed in much the same way as regular employed people. That is, as long as they had been self-employed for a period of two years preceding the application. If they had been self-employed for less time than that, it was always a problem. Fair

enough. Lenders would reasonably have an expectation that the self employed persons’ business be established and reliable for the applicant to be approvable. Now, OSFI has made the lending process more demanding.

A few weeks ago, I had a conversation with a self employed woman who been Jane Field has successful in her own business for over 20 years. Recently, she wanted to buy a couple of rental/investment homes. I want to point out that she has a great track record of excellent credit ratings.

When she applied for financing, the lenders made an in depth study out of her application.

The lender went far beyond what would have been asked of this borrower even a year

REAL ESTATE

ago.

This borrower was even asked to provide letters from her current tenants outlining the amount of rent they were paying. She was asked to provide details on her various lines of credit. It was necessary for her to explain the reason for the balances on her lines of credit.

She was also asked to provide three years of her income tax statements for both her Company and her personal taxes.

In short, the lenders need to know every detail about the self employed borrower. No longer is a good credit history all a lender would be permitted to rely on.

At one time, if the lender could see lots of equity and if the would-be borrower had a good credit rating, that was all that was needed. Now with recent economic difficulties, it is a new day. While this makes

the borrowing exercise more comprehensive, it is intelligent thinking.

We would certainly not want to end up with the number of delinquent loans the U.S. is experiencing.

I have thanked my “lucky stars” hundreds of times that we are not in the situation our cousins are, south of the border.

The good news is she got the loans she was asking for and at the fabulous interest rates that are currently being offered. I do hope these very low interest rates apply for a while longer.

It is such a good break for our buyers.

The takeaway message on this story is that if you are selfemployed, you need to be prepared with organized statements of your business prior to your credit application.

I know it takes time, but if you collect all this paperwork prior to your credit application,

it will certainly streamline the process.

In the long run, your preparedness will

make it a lot easier for you.

CHRIS AND RICK MILLIKAN PHOTO

American patriots like Samuel Adams and Paul Revere rest in Boston’s Granary Burial Ground. The cemetery is a popular attraction.

Walking the freedom trail CHRIS MILLIKAN Special To The Morning Star

BOSTON, MASS. - Joan Baez singing Please Come to Boston first stirred my interest in visiting Boston. Later, that zany Cheers gang sparked further inducement.

And then, there’s all that history! So cruising New England aboard Carnival’s Glory, I fulfill a longstanding dream.

Upon docking, we join fellow history buffs aboard a bus heading for the Freedom Trail.

Along the way, guide Daniel begins, “You’ve heard of Back Bay? Well, before a huge 19th century project filled it in to create new real estate, that’s exactly what it was, a pretty bay!” Known for beautiful Victorian brownstone homes, narrow streets and tidy brick sidewalks, Back Bay and Beacon Hill became Boston’s most expensive neighborhoods.

Our four-kilometer walk into revolutionary times begins across from the golddomed Massachusetts State House. Daniel introduces Boston Common, established in 1634.“Puritan settlers grazed their cattle in this wonderful public park. Over 1,000 CHRIS AND RICK MILLIKAN PHOTO redcoats camped on the lush grass during Tourists take a walk along Boston’s cobbled British occupation in 1775. Huge bonfires Freedom Trail. and fireworks celebrated the Stamp Act repeal and end of the Revolutionary War. George Washington as troop commander, It’s still used for celebrations and gather- not Hancock, and Hancock never again spoke to his longtime friend! One other ings.”

A familiar landmark, Park Street patriot, John Adams’ controversial cousin Church anchors Brimstone Corner, nick- Samuel Adams often justified violence in named for passionate preaching there the name of freedom!”

An eye-catching sidewalk mosaic and gunpowder kegs cached for the War denotes America’s first public schoolof 1812. Twice daily, melodious carillon house; today Benjamin Franklin’s stately notes ring out from its elegant steeple.

At adjacent Granary Burial Ground statue overlooks Boston Latin School Daniel relates, “The first bloodshed of site where he, Samuel Adams and John America’s revolution became known as Hancock attended. Down the block, overthe Boston Massacre; redcoats fired into flow meetings of angry citizens at Old a crowd of Bostonians, killing five.” Those South Meeting House frequently objected casualties, as well as settlers ravaged by to injustices in the colonies.

Across the street at old Corner fires or plague rest under weathered headBookstore, Daniel beams, “And this was stones bearing unusual winged skulls.

Elaborate markers identify the the literary center of the mid-1800s.

Revolutionary War’s best-known patri- Longfellow, Emerson, Hawthorne, Stowe ots. At John Hancock’s gravesite, Daniel and Alcott, all our greatest writers pubreveals some not so statesmanlike behav- lished their manuscripts here.”

Near the historic dock area we sight iours, “At the Continental Congress, John Adams appointed experienced officer stalwart Faneuil Hall built in 1742. Second

floor rooms still host meetings and gatherings. Here, between 1764 and 1774, colonists loudly challenged British rule at crowded town hall meetings. Such fervor inspired Sam Adams to organize Boston’s Tea Party, dumping some 342 chests of tea into the harbour, valued today at over four million dollars. To our amusement, artsy bronze replicas of market-day ‘garbage’ lie scattered across the intersection, whimsically reminding us that the hall’s ground floor market stalls have long served shoppers.

As we sit in box pews inside old North Church, a docent teaches us about its pivotal role at the start of the revolution.

“On April 18, 1775, Paul Revere ordered two lanterns hung in our steeple, which warned 400 countrymen of three British brigades heading for Lexington and Concord via the Charles River.” During his famous midnight ride, he informed Samuel Adams and John Hancock that redcoats were marching to arrest them.

This well marked trail ends where the Bunker Hill monument memorializes the Revolution’s first bloody battle. Here, colonials demonstrated that they could effectively fight trained British soldier, if not win that day.

We return through Boston’s Little Italy, an area first settled in1630. Looping through narrow streets lined with quaint cafes and bakeries, we pass Paul Revere’s home. The oldest building in this earliest neighborhood, his preserved 1680’s house stands among brick apartment buildings and modern streets.

Nearby, old State House housed the first colonial and state governments, including a merchants’ exchange. Now a museum, it hosts re-enactments of momentous events such as annual readings of the Declaration of Independence from its tiny balcony.

Below, a cobblestone circle marks the site of the 1770 Boston Massacre.

Churches, meetinghouses, burial grounds and parks along Boston’s Freedom Trail provide insights into America’s Revolution. Back aboard ship we toast this cradle of liberty.

Born in Hamilton, Ontario April 10, 1929 – died in Vernon, BC July 1, 2012.

July 8, 2010 “Life is mostly froth and bubble, But two things stand like stone: Kindness in another’s trouble And courage in your own.”

Doug Baxter, beloved husband of 58 years to Eleanor, father of Barbara and Andrew, and grandfather (“Papa”) of Nora and Lauren was adored by his family and loved by all who knew him. A kind and gentle man, he worked hard all his life and was an indispensable friend to many. He could solve any problem, design a solution, then build or ¿x whatever was needed. He loved science, astronomy, and learning new things, and was a member of the Okanagan Science Centre and the Allan Brooks Nature Centre Society. Doug gave his time to anyone who needed him. He was a volunteer driver for many years for the Masons’ cancer van and helped wash dishes at the Anglican church hall.

At his request, the family held a private funeral service. A memorial gathering for his friends will be announced later.

Arrangements were in the care of Vernon Funeral Home 250-542-0155.
