While he agrees restructuring is taking time, Garlick says, “It’s not a reason to not move ahead on other initiatives.” If there is a referendum this fall, considerable effort will be directed towards informing taxpayers about the project. “I’m not sure the economy will support it at this time, but referendum is the direction we wanted to go and the question will have to be asked,” said Macnabb. Garlick also isn’t sure how the public will respond to borrowing funds. “I want to see what the support will be. It will be up to the community in the end,” he said. Preliminary designs include an Olympicsize rubberized track, a lighted artificial playing field, a field house and bleachers.

A small corner of downtown Vernon may not be keeping up with the times. While the east end of 30th Avenue has redeveloped with the new library and office towers, Justice Park remains unchanged and largely unused. “The park isn’t as user-friendly as it could be when families and seniors are at the library and office workers are looking to eat their lunch,” said Annette Sharkey, with the Partners Sharkey in Action group. The other issue is a perception that the park has previously had issues with criminal activities and may not be safe. Through Partners in Action, a number of agencies have come together and are trying to determine how to make the park more usable. The lead agency has been the Downtown Vernon Association while other participants include the Social Planning Council, Independent Living Vernon, the City of Vernon, Tolko Industries, Nixon Wenger and Okanagan Regional Library. The provincial government also needs to be involved because it owns the property. Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, and his staff have pledged their support. “We’re trying to determine if there is any money that could be coming forward,” said Sharkey of Victoria. “We’re looking to see if there’s a chance to make physical changes to the space.” Substantial upgrades may not be necessary. “There needs to be more seating and more inviting so people spend more time there,” said Sharkey.

News Clock ticking for restoration project RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Community support is required for a historical treasure to keep ticking. Restoration of the 1912 post office clock is underway but the Greater Vernon Museum needs $30,000 for the project. “We have a ways to go,� said Ron Candy, curator, of the $8,000 raised to date. “We’d like to move along quickly with it because we’d like to celebrate the anniversary of the clock.� The clock was installed in Vernon’s post office a century ago, but it was removed when the building was demolished in 1959. Part of the mechanisms were placed inside a clock tower on 32nd Avenue in 1967 while others were sent to O’Keefe Ranch for storage. Earlier this year, the city upgraded the clock tower and the original parts were donated to the museum, as were the pieces at the ranch. The goal is to construct a tower inside the museum for the restored clock. “There were quite a few pieces missing and it was sitting derelict for 53 years,� said Garry Garbutt, a volunteer putting the clock back together. Some period pieces, like the pendulum, have been located and some gears have been manufactured. The 14-foot-tall tower will be made from structural steel so it can hold 1,000 pounds of dials. “It will take up a lot of real estate but it’s worth it because the clock is a significant Vernon artifact,� said Candy. “There aren’t too many operating clocks inside where you can see the interior works.� The tower will also feature exhibit space.
RICHARD ROLKE/MORNING STAR
Garry Garbutt (left) and Ron Candy hope residents will support the restoration of a 1912 clock at the Greater Vernon Museum. “We want to tell the story of the clock, the post office and postal history,� said Candy. Donations for the project can be made at the museum at 3009 32nd Ave. There is also a fundraising raffle underway with first prize being a 12-foot rowboat, followed by an Allan Brooks print for second
prize and a three-year family membership to the museum as third prize. Tickets are $5 each or three for $10 and the draw date is Aug. 27. Besides financial support, the museum is seeking other assistance. “If anyone knows what happened to the
clock’s original bell, it would be nice to know where it is,� said Candy. “We are also looking for any photographs of inside the original tower with the bell and mechanisms.� The museum can be reached at 250-5423142.
Storm doesn’t generate fire starts RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Thursday’s thunderstorm may have had the bells and whistles, but there wasn’t much spark. The intensive storm, which passed through the region at about midnight, rumbled with claps of thunder and flashes of lightning lit up the night sky. “We haven’t had one fire start because of the storm,� said Michaela Swan, a fire information officer with the Kamloops Fire Centre on Friday. Presently, the fire hazard rating in the North Okanagan remains low, but that’s expected to change if a hot trend develops and there is no precipitation.
Switchboard: 545-3322
“We don’t want people to be complacent,� said Swan. “We’re still getting people caused fires. With winds, the potential for a fire is still there.� Since April, there have been 186 wildfires so far in the Kamloops Fire Centre, which includes the North Okanagan. The 10-year average is 276 blazes. We get nice weather and then rain which keeps the fires at bay,� said Swan.

IMPLANT SUPPORTED DENTURE
Work begins soon on BX roads
Are loose dentures a problem for you?
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
If your dentures shift while chewing or talking and you are tired of those embarrasing moments, consider dental implants for stabilization. Imagine your denture snapping into place, feeling solid and secure. Often a new denture is not necessary. Your existing denture can be made to fit your new implants.

It could be a few more weeks before two roads in the BX are reopened. On June 9, heavy rainfall caused BX Creek to overflow and damage was done to culverts at Tillicum and East Vernon roads. They have been closed since then, creating an inconvenience for residents. “We expect the work to be completed in August,” says a Ministry of Transportation statement in regards to the repairs required. Mike Macnabb, a Regional District of North Okanagan director, has been frustrated with the situation. “It’s a public safety issue,” he said of firefighters being unable to take the most efficient route to an emergency. “There’s also the concern that if there was a wildfire, it would limit the route out of the area for residents.” Macnabb isn’t sure why it’s taken the ministry so long to move ahead with the work. “Perhaps they weren’t aware of the urgency,” he said. However, the ministry says the scope of the high-water damage is significant. At Tillicum Road, a stump blocked the culvert entrance under the road, causing water to flow over the highway and around the inlet of the culvert.

Recent high water caused damage to trails and roads along BX Creek. At East Vernon Road, a high volume of water overwhelmed the culvert, undermining the road bed. “Until the water level dropped, the damage couldn’t be assessed by the ministry’s geotechnical engineer,” says the ministry statement. “Water levels have now dropped and assessments have taken place. The ministry wants to ensure that the damaged areas are repaired with added protection to avoid a recurrence.” On Tillicum Road, the Ministry of Transportation is considering a concrete
collar around the culvert to further protect it from erosion. At East Vernon Road, the outlet headwall was undermined and damaged by flooding. “The ministry is investigating potential options to improve or replace some of the damaged infrastructure,” says the statement. Macnabb is waiting to see crews on scene. “The good news is there is action but I’m not sure when it will be completed,” he said.

“They are just concerned about barking.” Rose says a dog control service could have misdirected tax dollars. “There are more pressing issues the community is in need of such as policing and seniors services,” she said. Director Rene Talbot defends CSRD considering dog control. “I made a promise at election time that I’d revisit it and I did what I promised,” he said, adding that some residents had expressed an interest in the service. “There were complaints about barking dogs and aggressive dogs.” But based on Wednesday’s meeting, the discussion is over. “It’s clear people are not interested and the whole point of the meeting was to get people’s views.”

On the beach
I
t’s curious how one views things differently depending on what stage of life one is currently experiencing. I’m getting to the age where every now and then I stop myself and think “omg, my dad would’ve said something like that.” And, of course, it happens more often than not when I’m talking to my kids as one generation attempts to pass on what it’s learned to the next, whether they want to, or are ready to hear it in the first place. It may be more of a required need for the older generation to justify their existence than it is necessarily beneficial to the younger set. Still, we can learn from Glenn Mitchell each other. Which is what happened, I think, during a car ride with my older son on Thursday night. It should be noted I was taking said son to some get together, the second in as many weeknights, ah the life of the recently graduated from high school. And, yes, I am jealous. Anyway, the conversation took place as we drove along the Lakeshore Road portion of Kin Beach where city crews had already placed cement barriers about halfway along on the lake side to keep vehicles off the beach. Dad: “Wow, they’re already halfway home. It’s nice to see something get done shortly after it gets announced. This will go a long way to cleaning up the beach.” Son: “I don’t know. I kind of liked it the way it was.” Dad: “What? But the vehicles were tearing up the beach and sometimes getting stuck. And it’s not exactly safe either. How would you like to have to be the one raking the beach every morning?” Son: “I don’t know. You’re just old. Like the rest of Vernon.” I have to admit that one was a bit of a zing-
MITCHELL’S MUSINGS
er and he had some truth on his side. Us over50 types that tend to dominate these parts, and its government, just want a safe, quiet place to go for an evening walk and, well, if the truth be told, maybe the young people and their music and mayhem can go, well, somewhere else. Suddenly I was on the defensive. Dad: “Well, the beach is supposed to be for everybody and old people like me might be a little intimidated to go to a beach where there’s people parking their cars on the sand, and did I mention they get stuck sometimes and make a real mess? And people launch their boats where they’re not supposed to. It’s not exactly, well, civilized.” He seemed to be contemplating my thoughts but it’s kind of hard to tell because he’s not much of a talker. As we passed the end of the beach by the creek where a lot of the action took place and people brought their pets, even I was struck by how the placement of the barriers was going to impact things. Son: “Where are people supposed to park?” Again, not a bad question as convenience was definitely being sacrificed for the greater good. Dad: “Well, I know there are two overflow lots for parking over on the other side of the beach along Tronson Road that hardly ever get used. Hopefully they’ll come into play now but you’re right when people are used to parking close to the beach and now they can’t they’ll probably try to get, well, creative. It’ll likely take a little time to work itself out but it can’t be worse than before with people parking on both sides of the road and all over the beach. Besides the plan is to add angle parking eventually, and maybe even a sidewalk. This is a temporary thing, which you’d know if you ever read the paper.” Son: “Whatever. Hey, I did read it this week, actually. I knew they were doing this.” Dad: “That’s good. Hey, I’ve got an idea. Maybe you can write a letter to the editor and say what you think of this project.” Son: “Yeah, right. Like he’d print it.”
Summer is well underway but fall is just around the corner and that means local jurisdictions should be working towards major goals for later in the year. However, it appears that the possibility of a Greater Vernon sports complex referendum this November has dropped off the radar because there have been no recent updates from the Regional District of North Okanagan. “We will be asking our administrator where things are at,” said director Mike Macnabb. “There’s been nothing acted upon,” added director Jim Garlick. Why have the elected officials been kept in the dark? After all, it was they who lobbied to get the Okanagan College site designated for a track facility and they will be held responsible if a referendum is successful or fails. November may seem like a long ways off, but there are strict legislative schedules that must be followed to establish a referendum. Time will also be needed to properly inform the public of the need in the community and the implications from borrowing $8.5 million. Yes, RDNO staff have other jobs on their desk but their bosses — the board of directors — determined the sports complex was a priority when they agreed in May to move towards a referendum. Recently, directors demanded that staff start providing them with regular updates on their activities. Administration fought it, saying progress updates would add to their work load. But the apparent lack of action on the sports complex indicates there is a need to understand what the bureaucrats are doing.

n the July 20 edition of The Morning Star, Rob Dickinson, Vernon's engineering manager states that using RDNO's water utility contractor to repave Old Kamloops Road, once the water utility upgrades are done, would be far more costly, than using their own to repave later on. Even though the city is only responsible for 2.2 kilometres from 43rd Avenue east. That would stop just short of the entrance to the Blue Jay subdivision. From that point eastward, the rest of Old Kamloops Road becomes jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transportation. Yeesh. Wouldn't it be nice to see these government bodies — the ones that ultimately have our best interests at heart — work together to show us just that? I know it seems maybe too idealistic and far-fetched, but it shouldn't be. The upgrades to Old Kamloops Road, in their entirety, are inevitable here. If you are heading west on it, towards town, the condition is not too bad until you get to around Miriam Road, just east of Freedom Motorsports, then the generous supply of
ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT It is with compassion and understanding that I reply to the letter posted recently which talks about the spraying of our skies with toxic chemicals. The reason that I am taking the time to write is that this topic is near and dear to my heart. I want to explain something very important to the author of the letter, and to all of the other people who have discovered corruption, ignorance, and an audacious disregard for human life. I have been a student of the law of attraction, as well as the other laws which govern this universe, for my whole life. There are a set of laws which have been discovered by sages and quantum physicists alike. One very basic principle which we have to remember is that our thoughts are magnets which attract a like vibration, and this becomes our reality, literally. In this society, we have been

trained. We have been taught since we were kids that what we see, hear, taste, smell and touch is reality. There is more to it than this though. I and many others have discovered evidence that there are alternative realities available to us to choose. For example, instead of living in the paradigm of poverty, judgment, disease, war, and despair, we can choose to create a reality of love, compassion, abundance, joy, and health. This is not an altruistic view of how things should or could be; it is reality for myself and an exponentially growing number of other humans. I used to be very concerned about the corruption in our government, about the purposeful poisoning of our skies, about senseless wars and about needless human suffering. It made me feel very sad, alone, and helpless. How could I do something about stopping the wars? How could I stop the spraying of our skies? How could I convince more people that

there is so much evidence proving that 9/11 was an inside job? Well the truth is that I realized that my emotions were trying to tell me something. I could not affect a different outcome by coming at the situation from this same, awful feeling place. I had to raise myself up, and find my own happiness so I could tune into what I wanted to truly attract. I knew that the answer was somehow involved with gratitude, and so I started to appreciate more of the beauty all around me. We live in a vibrant community of diverse natural splendor, and if you look around, there is a lot of abundance, and a lot of happy people. Let this understanding raise your vibration. Feel empowered by what you can do to make a difference in your own life. Garden more, turn off the TV and don't believe everything that others say. My reality includes beautiful blue skies, clean living soil, and
clear healthy water. My reality includes spending time with my children, laughing, playing, eating healthy, helping others, singing, dancing and contributing to the success and growth of my community by participating in potlucks, work bees, volunteering and choosing to do the physical activities in nature which keep my batteries charged up. It's not apathy. I vote and I make the time to teach others how to raise up their vibration by doing what makes them happy. Celebrate the days when you see clear blue skies and when you are in your happy place and imagine a world which is evolving and growing towards peace and prosperity. It is far more powerful than continuing to focus on what you don't want, because you will attract what ever you are a vibrational match to. Thanks for being part of the difference. Ron Peltier

off. And yet, a 70-kilometre speed limit exists, as it should be when the road is good. Mr. Dickinson's position is a good point, monetarily, but it spells a further delay and a narrow view of the big picture. In today's world of instant communication, can the three bodies of government not work with each other? I mean really, can they not plan this out before the project starts so the general public is not put out more than necessary? A little co-operation ahead of time would really pave the way. Communicate with each other. Attack the entire upgrade as one project and sort it out amongst the political jurisdictions who should do what, before they start. Do what is best for all and get it done together. I am very sure, you will please the general public much more (who you work for anyway), shorten the inconvenience and untimely delays and save time and money in the long run. Rory White

YOU AND THE LAW COURT AWARDS MAY BE CUT FOR NOT WEARING SEATBELTS By Janice Mucalov, LL.B. Here is another good reason to buckle up – courts often reduce the amount of compensation awarded to a person hurt in a car accident if they were not wearing a seatbelt. The reason is because the person is considered to have been “contributorily negligent.” If it is shown that the plaintiff would have been less seriously injured if they had worn a seatbelt, then the plaintiff is said to be partly to blame for their own injuries. In B.C., court awards are usually reduced by 10% to 25% for not wearing a seatbelt.
$344,776 was thus chopped to $86,194. B.C.’s Negligence Act says that if the fault of two or more people causes the injury or loss, each is to be blamed according to the degree to which they are at fault. If you do not wear your seatbelt, and it can be proven you were more seriously injured as a result, it is possible you too will recover less than you would if you had been belted. While a 75% reduction – as in the Alberta case – would be highly unlikely in B.C., it is not worth risking any reduction at all.
Of course, it has to be proven that wearing In Alberta, the figure has been higher. In a seatbelt would have prevented or reduced one case, the judge slashed a the severity of your injuries. plaintiff’s award by 75%.

The Kalamalka Rotary Dream Auction is helping local residents who need large print material to continue to enjoy reading. The $2,500 donation provided almost 100 new books in a variety of categories for the large print collection of the Vernon branch of Okanagan Regional Library. “We saw know that there is an aging population in Vernon and we wanted to help support the seniors who use the collection,” said Cheryl Schmidt, Kalamalka Rotary donation committee member. The 1,402 large print books in the Vernon branch represent 10 per cent of the ORL large print collection or 13,403 books. The Vernon large print collection had a circulation of 10,287 in 2011, accounting for 15 per cent of the total ORL large print circulation. “This certainly illustrates how popular this collection is in the Vernon branch.

increase this circulation,” said Maureen Curry, branch head librarian. “The large print collection has been part of the library for more than 25 years and it has always been a popular collection in Vernon. I have seen some of our avid readers in regular print move into the Large Print Collection.” The adult collection librarian for the ORL chooses the books for the large print collection, looking for popular authors and getting the latest books in large print when they are available. “The primary interest in large print is novels, but we also add non-fiction when we can, including in history, poetry and other subjects. We take requests and find the books if possible. We have Readers’ Digest available in large print,” said Curry. “Readers tell us that they just couldn’t live without the large print books. This allows them to continue with an activity that they love. It’s wonderful.” Readers who are home bound have friends or caregivers come in to the library to select books for them. The collection includes popular novels, romances, westerns, science fiction and fantasy. The books purchased with the Kalamalka Rotary Club donation were sent directly to Vernon and each one has a bookplate saying it is from the club. Curry said the library is happy to receive donations to buy books for the general or for specific collections. One life-long reader and active library user had a donation made to the library to mark a 100th birthday. “We want people to be able to have reading material to suit their tastes for as long as they want to read,” said Curry.

News Grocers display support for food bank
Canada’s most trusted mortgage experts
Morning Star Staff
Save On Foods, Real Canadian Superstore and both Safeway stores brought their summer displays to the Village Green Centre June 18 to July 12 to help raise 18,000 pounds of food for the Salvation Army Food Bank. Customers visited the stores to buy a pre-filled bag of non-perishable food items, then dropped the bags off at the Village Green Centre and voted on the displays. Save On Foods won first place for favourite display with its imaginative Ogopogo and Safeway won first place for the most amount of food donated from their store. “We want to thank everyone that supported the food bank,” said Kelly Kedrosky, marketing director, Village Green Centre. The project was part of the Fare Fight for Food campaign, a cross-Canada initiative by Bentall Kennedy Canada LP, which manages the Village Green Centre. The centre is competing with other Bentall Kennedy LP shopping centres to receive a $10,000 food bank grant to be donated to the winner’s local food bank. “We encourage everyone to drop by the Village Green Centre and donate as much food as possible until the end of October,” said Scott Adam, general manager, Village Green Centre. The donations were much appreciated by the food bank. “We are encouraged by the tremendous

Carruthers clicks with Colonels GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Tessni Carruthers knew there would be challenges in adapting to life in the Deep South. There would be new faces, strangesounding accents and high expectations awaiting the Vernon Panther grad as she entered her freshman year as a distance runner with the NCAA Division 1 Nicholls State Colonels in Thibodaux, La. What she didn’t expect was a scare over a suspected heart condition, brought to light when she collapsed towards the end of a race in Waco, Tex. in late November. Nor did she consider the possibility that the coach that signed her would bolt midseason for another track program. Before her collapse, Carruthers’ doctors had suspected she had heart arrhythmia, something that runs in her family. “I woke up in the medical tent, and ended up going to hospital because I just couldn’t keep any liquids down,” said Carruthers, of the Waco incident. “It was kind of scary. I didn’t know what was going on, and I had never fainted before. Apparently I was just super-dehydrated and over-exerting. It was just a buildup of things.” Forced to take a month off training while doctors monitored her condition, — Tessni Carruthers then came back from the Christmas break to find Colonels’ head coach Scott Williamson had accepted an assistant coaching position with the University of Nevada Wolfpack. Replacing him was Heather Van Norman, a six-time All-American sprinter with the Louisiana State Tigers (1989-95). “I wasn’t really very happy about that at the beginning because you sign to go somewhere because of the coach,” said Curruthers. “That happens a lot in sports. You have to respect that, and with the new coach we got, I actually like her better.” Carruthers admits it took a while to warm up to Van Norman’s coaching style, but soon realized having a female coach leading an all-girl track program was probably a good thing. “I’ve never had a girl coach before in all the sports I’ve done. They kind of push
you harder; she won’t take any of our crap,” said Carruthers. “When she first came she was drilling us to the bone. I didn’t have a good indoor season, but she really got me into shape for outdoor season. “She understands when you can’t do anymore, or if you’re injured, or when you can’t be pushed.” While Carruthers collected multiple top-10 showings at various indoor meets last fall, it was in the spring outdoor season where she really started to show her potential. Carruthers, a nominee for the North Okanagan Athlete of the Year (won by Vernon speed skater Connie Kapak), clocked the third-fastest mark (4:34.40) at Nicholls in winning the 1,500 at the Louisiana Classics. She was fifth-fastest in the 800 (2:16.59) at the Mississippi Open, and was the only freshman to advance to the finals of the 1,500 at the outdoor championships. In team events, Carruthers struck gold with the distance medley relay team (comprises 1,200-m, 400, 800 and the mile) at the Louisiana State University Relays, setting a school record 12:07.70. She also helped the Colonels clock a 9:11.79 to win the 4x800 relay, Carruthers the second fastest time in school history. In cross-country, she teamed up with senior runner Jessica McCleod to claim gold at the McNeese Relays in Lake Charles, La., finishing the 6,000-m relay in combined 20:20. “We stack up against our competition pretty well when all the distance girls work together,” said Carruthers, who likes the close-knit feel of the Colonels’ athletics program. “All the athletes hang out together because it’s a really small school.” Carruthers admits to feeling homesick once in a while, but adds there are definite perks to living in Louisiana, namely authentic southern cuisine, southern hospitality and Mardi Gras in New Orleans. “I really like gumbo and jambalaya. Even the cafeteria food – people hate on it – but I think the cafeteria gumbo is the best I’ve ever had,” she laughed.
“We stack up against our competition pretty well when all the distance girls work together.”

New era in HockeyTown
H
is annual golf tournament at Predator Ridge Resort was another blast. He’s been on a winery tour in Oliver with his wife, Cindy. Did some boating with family and friends. Took in the B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame banquet Friday night in Penticton. Attended a wedding social for scout Marty Stein’s son Daniel in town. Ken Holland’s annual three-week summer vacation in Vernon is almost over and then it’s back to Detroit to monitor somewhat of a youth revival rebuild with the NHL Red Wings. Only going one playoff round in HockeyTown is hardly met with positive vibes, Kevin Mitchell but Holland likes the direction the Wings are heading in the post-Nicklaus Lidstrom era. “It was a season where, at the 60-game mark, we were fighting for the Presidents’ Trophy with two or three other teams. We were having a real good season and then about the threequarter pole, we started getting players like (Pavel) Datysuk and Lidstrom and (Johan) Franzen and (Jimmy) Howard injured, a lot of them together, and then we really limped to the finish line,” said Holland, Wings’ GM since 1997. “We made the playoffs, we got 100 points and we thought we were healthy for Nashville, so we were optimistic. They loaded up at the trade deadline, they were a little deeper and we got beat
BETWEEN THE LINES
by a very good Nashville team.” The Wings and Sharks are the only NHL teams to make the playoffs every year since the salary cap was introduced in 2005. Detroit has made the playoffs 21 consecutive seasons and racked up 12 straight 100-point years. Holland has proven to be of the more astute GMs in the league, and his moxy will be tested big time Ken Holland in the coming years. He is high on Howard, who at 27, established himself as a good NHL net detective. He figures regulars like Val Filppula, Darren Helm, Justin Abdelkader and Jonathan Ericsson made solid strides as young players. Since 2006, Detroit has retired Steve Yzerman, Chris Chelios, Dominik Hasek, Chris Osgood, Kris Draper, Kirk Maltby, Bryan Rafalski and Lidstrom. “People said that we were old, but that was by design,” said Holland, 56. “We felt we had great players who happened to be old, but we thought they were still good players and they provided a lot of intangibles off the ice. “As those players have retired, they’re hard players to replace. You don’t replace them that quick so we’re trying to evolve, we’re trying to compete with the other teams in the West. We’re trying a transition from the Yzermans and the Lidstroms and the Drapers and the Maltbys and the Osgoods with a different group of players.” The Wings are high on free-agent
signing Jordin Tootoo, who “gives a dimension of grit to our bottom-six (forwards).” They also believe Mikael Samuelsson can produce in his second tour of duty in the Motor City, and they are happy with a “one-two punch” in net after inking former Maple Leaf Jonas (The Monster) Gustafsson. Holland says Damien Brunner, 26, a high-scoring forward from the Swiss League, has speed and skill which could see him succeed in the show. D-man Brendan Smith, a first-round pick, and American League sniper Gustav Nyquist, both 22, will be given fair shakes with the Red Wings. Holland didn’t bother chasing Shea Weber of the Preds, thinking Nashville would have to sign the all-star franchise player after losing Ryan Suter to Minnesota. Holland did have jerseys with the names Suter and Zach Parise stitched on them, and his offer of $88 million for Suter was higher than the Wild’s offer at one point, but that plan went south when both players chose the Wild. That Chelios had played with Gary Suter, Ryan’s uncle, did help the Wings stay in the sweepstakes. As for the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) discussions, Holland is not allowed to publicly talk about things, but he’s positive as fans wonder if the season will start on time. “I think everybody is cautiously optimistic. What provides optimism right now is they’re meeting on a regular basis. They’re meeting two or three times a week. There are a lot of people involved and hopefully they can find a solution that works for everybody.”
Centreline girls score first win Morning Star Staff
Centerline Attack earned their first victory of the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 2 season by stuffing Sunterra Custom Homes Sista’s 6-2 Thursday night at Marshall Field #4. With their mother, Marie, here from Edmonton watching, sisters Kris Ponto and Lisa Wright each scored twice for the Attack. Tammy L’heureux and Lisa Ternowski also scored for Centreline, who got solid goaltending from Wright and Anna Clarke. Jim Erickson missed his regular gym workout to step in as interim coach for the Attack. The Sista’s first goal was scored by Carmen Kinniburgh, on a nice pass from Andrea Zubot. Zubot pushed through the Centerline defence down the right side and fed Becky Birbilis, who bounced a shot off the keeper. Maddy Demers was there to pop in the rebound for Sista’s final goal. Sharina Zantingh, Kinniburgh, Burbilis and Zubot all unleashed some threatening shots off the crossbar. North Okanagan United played with just seven runners in a 2-1 win over the OMG Chick Kickers.
Sarah Kwantes and Wendy Stevens, on a back-heel beauty which went roof daddy, scored for United. The Chick Kickers opened the scoring with Jenelle Woods taking a long throw from Ashley Smith and putting a beautiful shot, from a sharp angle, to the far side of the net. Newcomer Brenda Streichert and soon-to-be-married Nadine Krywonos were standouts on defence for the Chick Kickers, while winger Mechelle Hennig was outstanding staying wide and crossing the ball to generate ample scoring opportunities. Capri Insurance doubled Randy’s Rockets 4-2 at Marshall #3. The Rockets only had eight players and Capri had 11, but the Rockets netted the first goal from Tawney Ruddenham. Natalie Forester got injured so the Rockets were down to seven players going into the second half. Ruddenham added another goal for the Rockets. The AF Blazers fell 5-1 to Glenn Power Contracting in a make-up Division 1 game Thursday night in Salmon Arm. A couple of early injuries left the Blazers with only 10 players. Becky Dodds supplied the Blazer goal in the 37th minute, from Marjorie Boisvert. Despite being
shorthanded, the Blazers played well as a team to keep the score respectable. Midfielders Jim Sparrow and Denis Chabot each scored twice as Kal Tire grounded Kelowna 5-3 in men’s 50+ league play Thursday night at Marshall #3. Mike Lloyd also scored as the Tiremen improved to 10-5-1. Sparrow, who is having a career year with seven goals, was named the Uncle Dave’s Pizza Man of the Match. The Silver Stars drew 2-2 with Winfield in other 50s play at Beasley Park in Lake Country. Winfield, who borrowed Tim Penaluna from the Stars to get a full lineup, scored two quick goals in the first half. Slick passing just outside the penalty area allowed Mahmoud Abdel-Kader to sweep in a low, hard shot past the keeper late in the first half. David Gould went up for a header in the Winfield box and was ruled to have been fouled with the young referee awarding a controversial penalty. Gould sent the keeper the wrong way and slid the ball low and hard into the corner to tie the game. The Stars (6-7-3) pressed for the winner, but were stymied by the Winfield keeper.
Albertan wins B.C. men’s title Morning Star Staff/B.C. Golf
Riley Fleming of Airdrie, Alta. did something Friday that hasn’t been accomplished since American Fred Couples in 1979 – win the B.C. Amateur Men’s Championship as an out-of-province golfer. Playing on a special exemption, Fleming, who recently won the Alberta amateur crown, pulled a comeback victory to claim the 110th annual B.C. title at Swan-e-set Bay Resort and Country Club in Pitt Meadows. He fired a 3-under 69 in his final round to finish at 8-under (69-71-71-69-280), three strokes ahead of runner-up Brian Jung of Coquitlam (74-71-68-70-283). “The greens crew did an outstanding job at getting this course ready after the rain it saw on Monday,” said Fleming. “You don’t get courses this lush back home so it was an excellent venue to play at and I want to thank everyone from the club, volunteers and British Columbia Golf for putting on a great event.” Pitt Meadows’ Kevin Kwon was third at 3-under (75-70-70-70), and Victoria’s Kevin Carrigan, the leader heading into the final round, finished fourth (67-71-72-76). A pair of Vernon entries, Zach MacDougall and Bradlee Jones, finished a stroke apart. MacDougall fired a final round 5-over 77 to finish tied for 40th (79-76-75-77-307) at 19-over. Jones matched his best round of the week with a 2-over 74 Friday, ending in a tie for 45th (82-7478-74-308). Fleming is ineligible to compete with Team B.C. in the Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship, so Jung, Kwon and Carrigan will represent the province at the Camelot G&CC and Club de golf Outaouais in Cumberland, Ont., August 7-10.

Murphy legacy goes the distance KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Chad Murphy loved to throw left jabs and right hooks in the ring while smacking heavy bags and reeling off crunches at the Vernon Amateur Boxing Club. It was like a second home for Murphy, whose big heart, charisma, determination and contagious smile were always welcome underneath the Priest Valley Gym. “Chad started coming here when he was 13,” said head coach Brian Jones. “He was a go-getter and a super competitor. He was very conscientious and a very hard worker. He was also fit and fearless in a very competitive sport. He loved boxing.” Renovations and new gloves and protective gear are on the boxing club’s summer budget list, in Murphy’s memory. Chad, who also loved soccer, died Jan. 27 in Vancouver, where he had just started a job as a deck hand on a tugboat. He was 28. His parents, Al and Sandra, and Chad’s twin brother, Clayton, presented a cheque for $5,693 to the club Tuesday night, representing money raised through fundraising in Chad’s name. An attractive plaque, containing a photo of Chad and coach Jones at a 2009 Peachland card where they met Canadian legend George Chuvalo, along with a touching poem written by Al and Sandra, was also given to Jones. “Chad loved being at the Vernon Amateur Boxing Club and willingly helped and supported the younger kids,” said Al. “Chad’s memorial plaque will hang proudly at the club so Chad’s spirit will always be dancing in the ring.” Al’s close Camels soccer friends, Jim Mottus and Johnny Olenick, started the memorial fund, while Akbal Mund organized a men’s Monday night oldtimers soccer barbecue which raised $1,185. Yogi Kongsdorf of Schneider’s Meats donated all the food. The Funtastic Sports Society donated $1,040, while Roland House, who designed the plaque, and Discovery Glass, each pitched in $500. “So many other friends and family also donated and we thank them all so much,” said Sandra. Jones, who has coached at the gym since 1985, remembers Murphy idolizing older boxer Blair Todd, a highly successful and dedicated fighter, “Blair was super motivated

He (Chad) loved sparring with Blair.” The money comes at a very opportune time for the club, which will close for upgrades in August. “The last time we bought gloves was in ‘92. Now we can buy 200 pair of bag gloves, sparring gloves, head gear and some skipping ropes. We also need four ropes because we only have three so the ring isn’t regulation. What we’re lacking is program. We want to get enough money to pay the rent and let the kids under 14 in for free.” Added Al Murphy: “It feels nice to be able to give back to the club which is very instrumental in the growth of our youth, teaching them honour, respect, discipline, loyalty, integrity and confidence. We must give thanks to

Strong supporters of health care in the North Okanagan have stepped up to the plate again. The Armstong-Spallumcheen Healthcare Auxiliary recently donated $51,649 to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation. The funds come from the Bargain Bin thrift shop which the auxiliary operates. “They are regular and ongoing contributors who like to support the needs within Enderby and Armstrong, as well as the hospital,” said Sue Beaudry, VJHF director of development. The recent donations have allowed for the purchase of a height adjustable medication cart for Parkview Place in Enderby, donations to the foundation’s Light A Bulb campaign and new flooring for the Granville Get-Away program. Also included was $10,000 for the expansion of the McMurtry-Baerg Cancer Centre at VJH.

“They are regular and ongoing contributors who like to support the needs.” — Sue Beaudry
This has brought the cancer centre campaign to within $80,000 of its $500,000 goal. On July 6, the foundation received $18,614 from the auxiliary, which will help purchase a biological fridge and a specialized treatment/stretcher table for the Pleasant Valley Health Centre in Armstrong. Since its first donation in 1996, auxiliary members have donated $708,210 to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation.

Literacy alliance snaps up provincial honour CAVELLE LAYES Black Press
The Shuswap gets an
‘A’ in literacy. The Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society is
the recipient of the 2012 Council of Federation Literacy Award.

Dave Witt, North Okanagan-Shuswap School District superintendent, nominated the alliance for the B.C. recipient earlier this year. The award was given to LASS for the immense amount of work the organization provides in the community. “Virtually every citizen in the North Okanagan-Shuswap has benefited from the variety and quality of the programs that LASS has developed and nurtured,” said Premier Christy Clark during her announcement of the award. “An enhanced regard and enthusiasm for literacy has been woven into the fabric of these communities under their guidance.” The Council of the Federation Literacy Award covers the entire spectrum of the field, including family, aboriginal, health,
“LASS is an amazing group.” — Dave Witt workplace and community literacy, and is given to recognize the excellence of educators, volunteers, learners, and community organizations (including nongovernmental organizations) and businesses in each province and territory. LASS has brought many programs to the Shuswap community that have benefits in most of these areas. Some of their accomplishments include the Coyote Cafe, where young aboriginal students can strengthen their reading abilities through play, puppet shows, group and oneon-one reading, among other methods.
w it h t h e o d
Coyote Cafe has just ended their pilot year and work is already underway towards expanding the program for next year. Other programs run by LASS are Unplug and Play Family Literacy Week, which has close to 1,300 participants take part each year, Save/ Spend/Share Financial Literacy Program, a program which provides students with the chance to learn about the importance of setting financial goals and One-to-One Children’s Literacy Program, which involves 200 community volunteers in 13 different schools. “Literacy is a gateway every individual
must pass through if they are to become fully engaged citizens,” said George Abbott, B.C.’s education minister and Shuswap MLA. “Groups like LASS help create the opportunity for everyone, no matter what their background, to achieve that goal,” says Abbott. Witt is delighted the value of his nomination was recognized by the panel. “I am thrilled for the recognition this award brings to the outstanding work being done by the Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society,” says Witt. “LASS is an amazing volunteer group, which, in two short years, has proven to be a force in providing literacy opportunities for those in need – from babies to seniors – in the large geographical region which is the North Okanagan-Shuswap district.”

Mac digs the first of the new potatoes at the Howard House Garden on a hot afternoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has turned out to be a labour of love,â&#x20AC;? he said as he took time for a tour around the flourishing one-third-acre garden filled with well-tended corn, carrots, beets, tomatoes, green vegetables and herbs protected by marigolds and sunflowers. Mac and some other participants of the nine-month-long Addiction Recovery Program brought their experience and expertise together to make the garden. The Howard House Garden began as a community garden 10 years ago, then the Mormon Church took over for several years. This spring, Mac AKA Dr. Dirt, and the other men planned the garden and did the clean up which had been stopped by snow last fall. The soil was dug several times and the irrigation system redesigned by one of the residents who had a background in irrigation. Others brought their farming and gardening backgrounds to the project. About 95 per cent of the produce goes to the Howard House kitchen with anything to spare going to the Upper Room Mission. The garden also grows some things that are a little different, like radicchio, bok choy and kohlrabi, which the cook incorporates into meals for the residents to try. The most popular items are the fresh corn and strawberries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The corn was up to my shoulders two days ago and now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over my head. Everything is doing well and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve kept it all organic, even picking the bugs off by hand,â&#x20AC;? said Mac. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we first started the garden in the spring and it was all raked, it had a Zen feel. We wanted to grow vegetables but we wanted to keep that feeling, that is a spot where we, all of us here, not just the ones doing the gardening, can come out and rejuvenate. We are hugely grateful for what they are doing here for us and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way of giving back.â&#x20AC;? He thinks that the garden, which is much admired by people walking or driving by and stopping to say they appreciate seeing it, makes the community look at Howard House in a different way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it helps people see that Howard House is not the place they think it is. There are a lot of good men here who fell through the cracks. Six years ago, I had a good job, I had everything. Then I lost it and ended up on the streets â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a shock when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not used to it. We struggle to get help and we want to turn our lives around,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The residents here, even those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t garden, like the space. They have helped with
One of several decorations in the garden. getting materials to recycle and found objects for decorations. They might do something like spend $4 out of their welfare cheque to buy two lights. One of our guys made our scarecrow, Howard, out of the corn cobs from last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This garden has been a godsend to me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always out around the garden. I come out in the evening to relax.â&#x20AC;? The garden was planted with bought and donated plants and seeds, and the gardeners are grateful for the advice from Briteland and the donation of woodchips from Tolko for the paths. There is also a greenhouse to start plants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They want to do this. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very therapeutic building something beautiful and functional,â&#x20AC;? said Barbara Levesque, executive director of Howard House. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The men have put hundreds of hours into the garden, sometimes working 12-hour days. Some of the men not directly involved in the day-to-day work helped with the preparation, like the man who put in countless hours of digging to get the soil ready for planting. The garden is planted every year but this year the men planned it all and have been the most enthusiastic. People stop and yell to them, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing an amazing job.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Creating food is a fundamental human endeavour and manual labour with a profound purpose is healing.â&#x20AC;? Randel Erbacker, addictions recovery coordinator, likes to use the metaphor of the garden as a place for healing and growing in his program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a sense of accomplishment, of brotherhood. One client rebuilt the gates and painted the covered seat on his own initiative. This is not only a productive garden, it is a beautiful garden. Some of the people

The one-third acre garden, maintained by residents of the house, supplies vegetables for the kitchen. living here are chefs or have cooking experience and they help make good meals from the produce. I enjoy eating lunch here every day,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We talk about gardens as being like our lives, that they need to be kept clean, the weeds, our issues, pulled, dealt with, and that new life can come even when things look as unhopeful as a small, dry seed.â&#x20AC;? The garden produced more than 2,000 pounds of produce last year and the frozen tomatoes, strawberries and raspberries are just being used now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We struggle with the perception of who our clients are and the beauty of the garden is that it is the work of the men. Addiction is
an isolating experience and here people can become part of a community, learn to work together, make plans and take responsibility and have a sense of accomplishment,â&#x20AC;? said Levesque. There are 55 residents at Howard House, with nine to 11 in the Addictions Recovery Program. All of the men who live at the house work to keep the house up, mowing lawns, shoveling snow, in the kitchen and cleaning. The garden will go on, even as the gardeners move on in their lives. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planners are talking about fruit and nut trees and more strawberries to leave as a growing legacy. Summer Special

Q: A:
Making summer memories
I
t was a perfect day. Best day of the summer. We had a fabulous day. These are common statements I have heard recently from friends who have been enjoying our warmer, longer, lazy summer days. So what makes a perfect day? Is it the company we enjoy, the activities, the location, being by water, on a mountain top, the weather, food, music? What would Michele Blais be your perfect day? Would I choose to spend it with family alone, family with friends, friends or even alone? Would I sleep to noon, would I, could I sleep to noon? Would I spend it with a book, curled up nicely in a nook. Would I spend it with my darling and my sons on the water, playing, feasting, having fun.
My dog is scratching after he comes out of the lake. Could he have swimmer’s itch? Yes, it is a temporary, very itchy rash caused by a parasite called schistosomes.
Schistosomes are little worms that are found in many lakes and ponds in BC. The parasite spends their lifecycle in the body of water snails and in the bloodstream of ducks and other waterfowl. The immature larvae leave the host snail and then travel near the water surface to hopefully hitch a ride on the waterfowl. Mistakenly they can accumulate on the skin of our pets or even on ourselves. Upon leaving the water, these larvae start to burrow under the skin and die. This invasion results in an allergic reaction and itchy skin. We can minimize the potential for exposure to the parasite by avoiding public beaches and other high risks areas. Also avoid shallow weedy areas of the beach where snails and larvae thrive.
THE WAY I SEE IT
Most importantly, dry yourself and your pet off thoroughly with a dry towel. If your pet develops a rash and is uncomfortable contact your local Veterinarian. — Dr. Miles Latwat, DVM

The softness of a towel to dry me from my swim in the cool lake waters. During the day I would enjoy meals or snacks where my tastebuds danced with pleasure. Fresh vegetables, a crunchy sweet apple, a cup of mint tea, my evening meal prepared to perfection with herbs from the garden, a glass of merlot. My perfect day would be a carefree day where I would be in a bubble away from the busy demands of daily living, where we could be spontaneous, playful and together. Today could be that day.

UVic offers new program Morning Star Staff
The University of Victoria is launching a new undergraduate biomedical engineering degree, the first of its kind west of Ontario. The bachelor of biomedical engineering integrates engineering and biology and focuses on providing careers in one of the fastest growing areas in the health care field. The five-year program is also expected to attract more women into the field of engineering. Current trends in engineering show that women make up about 20 per cent of students currently enrolled, while statistics in the field of biomedical engineering have shown that women are drawn to the field, with a 50/50 female to male ratio in biomedical engineering classes. Graduates from the program will be able to pursue careers in the biomedical device industry or work in a hospital in support of medical device use. After completing the program, graduates can pursue advanced training or do some minor upgrading and apply to medical school.

books and excerpts from the Mackie Lake House book collection.” Get to know the Mackie family as you listen to their stories and discover the history behind this unique home. This event is appropriate for all ages and for anyone who is eager to learn more about the Mackie family. After the tour you will be invited to sip on fragrant tea and mingle on the veranda. Experience this rare opportunity on Aug. 12 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Mackie Lake House, 7804 Kidston Rd., Coldstream. Be sure to purchase tickets in advance, $20 per person, by calling 250545-1019 or e-mail mackiehouse@shaw.ca.
Members and friends of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Armstrong, gathered June 16 at Royal York Golf Club in Armstrong to embark on an historic battle of skill and gamesmanship for the Fourth Annual St. Andy’s Cup Golf Tournament. There were four teams comprised of 16 players, with players from Salmon Arm, Armstrong, Enderby and Coldstream. This year, the winning team was comprised of Al Bissell, Maureen Vincent, Chuck Melanson and Greg Adams who managed to get a score of two over par in the pouring rain. The foursome earned the honour of having their names engraved on a plaque attached to St. Andy’s Cup. “We look forward to the St. Andy’s coming to resemble the Stanley Cup in stature,” joked player Doug Vincent, whose team won in 2011. “This tournament is probably the most fun you can have on a Saturday afternoon – a good game and great food with
‘Monsters’ qualify for English Channel swim Morning Star Staff
A few people might be certain that they spotted Ogopogo in Okanagan Lake on a recent Saturday morning. They in actual fact saw “monsters” of another kind. Dubbed the OMSC Lake Monsters, five members of the Okanagan Masters Swim Club (OMSC) braved white-capped waves to do their qualifying swim for crossing the English Channel as a relay team next summer. In order to swim the 35-kilometer crossing (if swum in a straight line), team members Denise Cesselli, Leora Dahl, Paul Duffield, Phred Martin and Tracy Sutton had to do a twohour qualifying swim in 15 degree Celsius (or less) without the aid of a wetsuit during which they each covered approximately 7.5 km. The sixth OMSC member of the relay team, Mike Stamhuis, is currently recovering from shoulder surgery and will
do his qualifying swim at a later time. The OMSC team was joined by Mike Humphreys from Seattle who trained for six hours. Humphreys is hoping that his next solo attempt at crossing the Channel will be successful. Supported by friends and family members, the team is mentored by another OMSC swimmer and open water coach, Brent Hobbs, who successfully crossed the channel as a solo swimmer in 2008 in a time of 10 hours and 43 minutes. Just how demanding the Channel crossing is, is evidenced by the fact that fewer people have successfully crossed the English Channel than have climbed Mount Everest. “It’s a childhood dream come true,” said Cesselli. “I get to swim the English Channel and the best part — I get to do it with a group of friends.” For Dahl, it’s about the thrill of a challenge. “This seems like one
of those once in a lifetime opportunities to really see what I can do.” Duffield is going back to his roots. “For an Englishman
the English Channel is steeped in history. From the Roman conquest of Britain to the Second World War, and of course the first suc-
cessful swim across by Captain Matthew Webb in 1875. As part of the OMSC Lake Monsters I am looking to make my own little bit of history.”
close friends and family, enjoying God’s creation outdoors. A dinner of barbecued steak and chicken was hosted by Paul and Margaret Peacock at their home near the golf course.” The Fifth Annual Tournament is planned for the third Saturday
in June in 2013. Players are encouraged to sign up early. For information, call Vincent at 250-309-2243.

Hoping for more of Moore
W
hen Paul Moore sauntered on stage and continued to the floor below it at Trinity United Church Thursday evening, with volumes of manuscript spilling from one arm and a giant water bottle from the other, we wondered what form of recital we were in for. As he clumsily adjusted his music and took a swig from his bottle, he explained that such adjustments and swigging, along Christine Pilgrim with spitting, slurping and similar unsavoury aspects of a singer’s performance, were generally performed backstage, out of sight of the audience, and that we were privileged to witness them first hand. He casually introduced his very fine accompanist, Sandra Fletcher, along with front-of-house as well as backstage manager/lighting technician Liza Judd, and con-

tinued to ramble, smile and giggle. His haphazard approach might have irritated some who prefer a more theatrical presentation, with economy and finesse, but most of Thursday’s audience smiled and giggled along with him. Then, when he opened his mouth to sing he had them in the palm of his hand. Now in his self-confessed 40s, Moore still has the powerful voice and fine physique of one 10 years his junior. His unrehearsed style of banter between songs sometimes stretched a tad too far, but when he sang he was focused, still and straight-backed, entirely committed to the great music he produces. The parlour style recital opened with a tribute to Moore’s late Nana and perhaps his own youth, Salley Gardens, written by William Butler Yeats in 1889 and set to music by Benjamin Britten in 1943. His rendition of Albert Hay Mallotte’s arrangement of The Lord’s Prayer was, in his own words, “a real barn burner.” And his invitation to the audience to join him
during his medley of Neapolitan songs was enthusiastically accepted, particularly when he sang Santa Lucia to his accompanist who responded with good humoured smiles as she gazed back at him while still managing to find all the right chords. The show ended with the famous aria Vesti la Giubba (Put on the Costume) from Ruggero Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci (Clowns), where Canio breaks down as he applies his clown make-up before facing his audience and his wife’s lover. Moore may have lacked the superb breath control of his hero Luciano Pavarotti, but only the most critical would have found fault. Acknowledging his well-deserved applause afterwards, he mentioned the choir he is forming, open to all voices, male and female. Rehearsals start in September at the Essentialist Church of Christ on 45th Avenue. Details will be announced in this newspaper. Meanwhile, let’s hope for more of Paul Moore on stage, or floor. Perhaps next time he’ll doff his white tie and tails in favour of

Capsule Comments with
KYLE BREWER We often mention ways of reducing your risk of medical problems. One you don’t hear about often is marriage. Evidently if you are having coronary bypass surgery, you have a greater survival rate if you are married. It may have something to do with handling stress better or that more married people are non-smokers. Using heat therapy for sore joints can be very soothing and effective. The length of time heat should be applied is 20-30 minutes per session. Heat is helpful in reducing muscle spasms and arthritic back and neck pain. Heat shouldn’t be used on a new injury, open wounds or infections or swollen or inflamed areas. Since 20% of Canadians’ weekly food intake comes from restaurant meals there is a move to have more nutritional information available on menus or for the asking. Since some meals are high in calories and sodium and since hypertension and obesity are real health problems in Canada, this information may help people make better choices when eating out. Zinc oxide gives the best protection against both UVA and UVB light rays that can damage the skin. a 20% zinc oxide paste provides this protection but it is visible after application and not too acceptable to many people. However for those highly exposed areas like the ears and under the eyes it might be a real option. Our pharmacists can help you solve your summer medical problems.

of Robert Fortune, a scholarly and intrepid botanist, and how he ventures into closed parts of 19th-century China to find and smuggle tea plants is a surprisingly riveting read. Half a Life by Darin Strauss. This is a thoughtful and courageous memoir about how one quite random moment can haunt the rest of your life. Strauss’ heart is wideopen here, and he also writes beautifully. Both sad and hopeful. Chinaberry Sidewalks by Rodney Crowell. Crowell evokes his hardscrabble Texas childhood with humour and surprisingly warm remembrances of his parents. It was not a “Father Knows Best” kind of family, and many other people raised there would be bitter and sitting in psychologists’ offices forever. But Crowell is generous, kind and forgiving. I have never heard a Crowell song, but if his songwriting is half as good as this memoir, I’ve been missing out. Into the Silence: The Great War, Mallory, and the Conquest of Everest by Wade Davis. Dense but oh-so-interesting! Davis has researched this book for years and years, and — as always — his writing is clear and accessible. Some people call the First World War “one of the worst tragedies humankind brought upon ourselves.” Davis, though his focus is on Mallory, explores and finds threads connecting British imperialism, the First World Waqr and the history of mountaineering in Britain and in the Himalayas. The Zen of Steve Jobs by Caleb Melby. A good example of how a book in a graphic format can tell much more than a straightforward text. This is a brief look at the relationship between Jobs and Kobun, and how Zen Buddhism helped shape Jobs’ sense of the aesthetic and creative mind.

Storyteller brings his show to Vernon Morning Star Staff
It has been said that James Murray’s stories flow more like a gentle stream than the raging river of today’s modern world. From the moment Murray walks out onto the stage he has an impact on his audiences. Whether making them laugh, bringing a tear to their eye or simply bringing back some precious memories, his stories strike an emotional chord with each and every person who hears them. On Aug. 5, storyteller James Murray, accompanied by violinist Aimee Balloun, will take the stage at the Hub Arts Collective in downtown Vernon. Those who have seen and listened to Murray on stage often say that he has a very special ability to make each and every audience member feel like he is telling his stories just to them. His informal

Storyteller James Murray is taking his show on the road and bringing it to the Hub Arts Collective in Vernon Aug. 5. stage presentation and comfortable storytelling manner just seems to invite listeners into the kitchen — where they can sit around, laugh and enjoy his often humorous, sometimes poignant, but always entertaining stories.
Over the years Murray has received numerous accolades and awards for both his writing and storytelling. He is a three-time winner of the esteemed Ron Miller Storyteller Award from the Outdoor Writers of Canada and
most recently he was honoured with a Paul Harris Fellowship. A Fair Exchange Of Gifts, Murray’s wonderfully heartwarm-
ing and poignant story about what he would give his old dog Duffy for Christmas brought tears to many a listener’s eye when it first

Parsons project rejuvenates GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
A Vernon-area landmark has risen from the ashes, quite literally. Severely damaged in a May 2010 fire sparked by an electrical storm, Campbell House, an 1898 heritage home situated atop Suicide Hill on 30th Avenue, has been restored to its original glory. The 114-year-old residence, owned by Heath Anderson, sustained major fire and subsequent water damage from the fire fighting efforts to snuff out the blaze. The aftermath left Gavin Parsons Homes, winners of the restoration contract, with an intriguing puzzle. The structure required a complete removal of the interior, right back to the original framing. “It took old-school knowledge to rebuild the rafter roof and install a new interior support structure to bring the home up to current building codes,” said Gavin Parsons, who operates the company with his son, Taylor. Both are journeyman carpenters. “Over the 100 years or so the house has been around, there were a lot of renovations done to it that were done poorly, and a lot of things were taken away from it. It’s had very poor maintenance over its life.” Parsons, 64, has been carving out a niche as a custom home builder and renovator since he moved to the North Okanagan in 1975 from Port Moody. Some of his handiwork includes Victorianbased theme homes at Silver Star Resort, as well as The Elms, a set of tall, narrow heritage homes on 34th Avenue. One of his current projects includes the restoration of a 1920s barn in Coldstream. However, the restoration of Campbell House, which began in February 2011 and was ready for habitation in early 2012, presented Parsons with a unique set of challenges. Before any restoration work could happen, W.A. Marsh Engineering of Vancouver was called in to assess the structural integrity of the building. “He had to do a study on the house, and we had to frame it to today’s building code,” said Parsons. “There wasn’t a building code back then. “We had to dig down and put footings in the centre because it never had footings. They had a bunch of old — Gavin jacks down there.” However, with the crawl space measuring just two feet deep, they had to go through the floor, dig out the crawl space, slide in some beams and jack the house up in the centre to level it as best they could. Parsons also installed modern plumbing and electrical systems to replace the caste piping and knob and tube wiring. The boiler system was refur-

The building was severely damaged in a May 2010 fire. bished with new piping and replacement radiators. Energy concerns were addressed by installing insulation in previously empty or sawdust-filled stud spaces and attic voids. “With an open house, in a sense, it’s easy to upgrade all those things,” said Parsons, noting Anderson was able to access energy grants for the project. “You can get a fair bit of money back from the federal government.” New drywall replaced the former lath and plaster. Twelve-inch baseboards, six-inch casings, original Parsons doors and hardware were painstakingly cleaned and restored to their former elegance. Parsons’ crew also stripped back layer upon layer of flooring to reveal the original fir floors, which were then refurbished. Period lighting, bath fixtures and a new kitchen were installed, and for a final touch of Victorian style, a pressed tin ceiling was added to the dining room. Using historic photos as a reference, Parsons also

reinstalled the old back porch, and is in the process of doing the same for the front porch, which was covered in some time before 1908. Anderson has owned the property for about seven years, but his interest in it goes back more than a decade. The Vernon entrepreneur was in a bidding war with the previous owner, and kept periodic contact with her until she was ready to sell. Although he is now the proud owner of a brand new character home, Anderson says, other than his dealings with Parsons, the process has been a bit of a nightmare. He has had to move four or five times while the project progressed, and lived in a fifth-wheel trailer in his front yard for the last seven months. “The only good part of this whole process was dealing with Gavin,” said Anderson. “The improvements they’ve done are amazing, but I certainly wouldn’t recommend the process. “As far as I’m concerned, they can use my home as a show home. They’ve just done an amazing, passionate job of taking care of the house.”

Financing your fun
T
here are things you need to pay for like your home and car, and there are things you may want to pay for like a cottage or boat, or maybe a new RV or four-wheeler. Toys, indulgences, lifestyle accessories, by whatever name, are the fun things that add excitement and enjoyment to your life. But you still have to pay for them. So here are some tips for financing your fun. Pay yourself first – It’s simple – save an amount Andy Erickson each pay period that you can comfortably afford. It can be a fixed-dollar amount or a percentage of your income (three per cent is a good guideline). You probably won’t miss the money and your savings will grow nicely. Max your savings growth – Move your money out of low-interest bank accounts and into investments that generate higher returns, yet are easily accessible once you’ve reached your savings goal. Money Market mutual funds can be a good choice. Guaranteed investment certificates (GICs) or term deposits can also be a good choice, however, in exchange for a higher interest rate, your money is locked in for a fixed period. You might also consider government sav-

ings bonds. They are cashable at any time (but with a small interest penalty if you do so before maturity), and might be available through an automatic payroll deduction program that adds to your pay-yourself-first strategy. Tax-free savings accounts (TFSAs) can also provide ready, tax-exempt cash when you need it. Save first, save later – When you save before you buy, you’ll also save on what you buy by having the luxury of making your purchase when the time and price are right, like at the beginning or end of a season when merchants are clearing stock. Money deals, credit steals – Avoid financing your fun by using high-interest credit cards, or by redirecting money from the investments or savings you’re counting on for other life goals, like a comfortable retirement. Buy what you can afford when you can afford it with cash on hand. You’ll not only eliminate the costs of financing but you may also be able to negotiate a better deal when you’re paying with real money. Whether you’re saving for fun things or trying to realize your lifelong dreams, a professional advisor can help you get there with strategies tailored to your needs and your unique situation.

Shell hunting is a pastime on the beaches of Sanibel and Captiva islands. Each tide brings a new selection of specimens.
Sanibel means sunshine LAUREN KRAMER Special To The Morning Star
FLORIDA - Sanibel. The word dances off the tongue like a magical destination straight out of a Tinkerbell story. Which is fitting, because there is something very magical and fairytale-like about Sanibel, one of the causeway islands in Southwest Florida. For one thing, there are no highrises on this cusp of land that extends like a big, asymmetrical grin in the Gulf of Mexico. No big box stores, massive malls or even traffic lights. Drive over the graceful, arched bridges that separate Fort Myers from Sanibel and you leave reality behind, entering a community where biking trails are ubiquitous, conservation is the keyword, and pristine, shell-soaked beaches are just a normal part of everyday life. It’s the shell-hunting we’ve come for. The location of the causeway islands coupled with the movement of the tides means that an exquisite array of shells washes up on Sanibel’s beaches each day. Finding them means long walks on the soft white sand, with eyes peeled to the ground and frequent stops to unearth and inspect an eye-catching shell. Back at our hotel we use a sheller’s identification guide to separate bivalves from univalves, conches from whelks. And later, at the Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum we gawk at the immaculate specimens others have foraged from Florida’s beaches: the brilliant, fiery orange hues of the lion’s paw and the graceful curvature of the lightning whelk. Behind glass cases we see the exquisitely symmetrical spots of the dubious volute, and the sharp spines of Paz’s murex. The beaches are a graveyard for offshore sea creatures uprooted by stormy seas, and any shell devoid of an occupant is fair picking. The word ‘paradise’ is tossed around a lot on Sanibel, and you don’t have to look far to see why. Twenty miles of biking trails wend around the island, past lush, tropical foliage, mom-and-pop restaurants and mangrove trees that stick hundreds of toes
LEE COUNTY VCB PHOTO
A sheller’s walk on one of Sanibel’s beaches is full of interesting finds. into the salty water. With 70 per cent of the island reserved for conservation and wildlife refuge, the human footprint is relatively unobtrusive here. A family vacation in Sanibel is about cavorting in the warm surf of the Gulf, building elaborate sand sculptures and hunting for the trophy shells that literally litter the beach. It’s also about wildlife watching. We drive a half hour north of Sanibel to Captiva Island, to board a ferry to Cabbage Key. Before we can do that, though, we’re distracted by a breathy snorting sound coming from the water lapping against the marina’s pier. Several sets of grey nostrils are visible above the surface, the only evidence of the manatee family feeding on seagrass just meters from where we’re standing. The 1,300-pound manatee cows, bulls and calves are gentle giants of the sea who spend their lives gorging on seagrass in warm water. Relatives of the elephant family, they share a grey skin and a mammoth girth,
but unlike their land-based family, the manatees move slowly and cannot defend themselves. One bears scars from the boat propellers that sadly, cause the demise of many a manatee in Southwest Florida. On board the Captiva Cruises ferry, more wildlife is minutes away as dolphins dip and dive in the vessel’s wake and a wide variety of sea birds fly around us. Ospreys are almost as numerous and vocal as seagulls, grabbing fish from the gulf and trailing it in their talons to their nests. We see pelicans diving headfirst into the ocean, egrets and herons standing stockstill in the shallows and giant frigate birds suspended on the thermals as if attached to the string of a long kite. Back on Sanibel we take a guided tour through one of the nation’s busiest refuges, the 6,000-acre “Ding” Darling national wildlife refuge. Here, we learn how mangrove trees have anchored the causeway islands in place, preventing hurricanes from tearing the islands to shreds and creating invaluable habitat and nutrients for aquatic life. We watch tree crabs scurry over mangrove branches, ospreys feed their young and egrets as they catch their next meal. We also learn about the 11-foot American crocodile that once called Sanibel home. “She lived quite happily in the “Ding” Darling refuge until folks starting feeling sorry for her,” says Barry Litofsky, our naturalist. “They felt she should be with other crocs, so she was caught and relocated 60 miles away.” Just months later, that old croc was back, though. “She’d swum up river, seen the sign for Sanibel and taken a right turn,” jokes Litofsky. A popular fixture at the refuge, she stayed there until her death in 2010. Sorrowful about the croc’s departure, community members organized a memorial service in her honor. “Two-hundred-and-fifty people showed up,” Litofsky says with a wry smile. “They brought pictures and memories, toasting that old croc with Gatorade.” Lauren Kramer is with Travel Writers’ Tales, a travel article syndicate.

Hitting the information highway
B
y the time you read this I should be in Vanderhoof, the geographical centre of B.C., to visit relatives. Born in the Okanagan, raised in the Peace country and working for 20 years in Metro Vancouver, I’ve driven from one end of the province to the other more times than I can count. A similar trip last year began just as a huge mudslide was cleared near Chilliwack. Other drives have featured mid-summer hail piled 10 centimetres deep on the Coquihalla, a near miss between two moose in the Pine Pass, plus the usual blizzards and hundreds of traffic jams for construction, accidents and growing urban volume delays. This time I’ve got a new tool on board, the mobile version of DriveBC.ca on my BlackBerry. Launched two years, ago, the mobile site has taken off with the surging popularity of smartphones. In the past year, DriveBC’s online traffic averaged 1.2 million visits a month, about half to the five-year-old desktop site and half from mobile users. It’s by far the most popular B.C. government website. I asked DriveBC technical leader Nainesh Agarwal for these stats, and he said even he was surprised by the surge in mobile traffic in recent months. But trying out the mobile site, it’s easy to see the appeal.
With a few clicks, the phone displays incident reports and web camera images for my chosen route. Webcams have been added steadily all over the province, and now watch 18 key locations on Vancouver Island, 93 in the Lower Mainland, 73 in the Southern Interior, 35 in the North and 13 at Canada-U.S. border crossings. At a glance, you can check anything from the traffic at the Lions Gate Bridge to the lineup for the Skidegate ferry on Haida Gwaii. Most pictures update every two minutes, offering a realTom Fletcher time look at traffic, weather and road conditions. A recent addition is “replay the day,” which shows the last 24 hours of pictures in a few seconds. Another new feature is an email alert that can be customized. You can subscribe to a particular region or highway and receive notices as soon as they are posted to the DriveBC network. And of course there is an @drivebc Twitter feed, where between 6:30 a.m. and midnight, staff update conditions and respond to inquiries. (Major events are automatically tweeted overnight.) Verified reports are fed from highways staff and contractors all over the province and co-ordinated through the provincial highways condition centre in the Lower
B.C. VIEWS
Mainland. It’s become a primary source of information for radio and TV traffic and news reporters around B.C. The mobile service now has an option for drivers to report new problems they encounter. After determining your smartphone’s location, the site displays the name and phone number of the local maintenance contractor who can take the report. For those who haven’t joined the smartphone era, there is an old-fashioned option. Dialing 5-1-1 anywhere in the province gives access to a toll-free line that connects to recorded DriveBC messages. Agarwal said use of that service has been declining as phones with web access become more popular. The 5-1-1 service also requires you to use the keypad to select your route from a numerical list, so drivers would have to pull over rather than breach the new restrictions on using handheld devices while driving. The 5-1-1 system still gets surges of heavy use during major events like the recent flooding. The plan is to upgrade the system to allow voice recognition, so drivers can use headsets to get updates on the move.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) It’s fine to do things that make you look good, but only if your actions don’t come at the expense of another. Be extra careful to avoid falling into this pattern unthinkingly. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Usually you go out of your way to be an extremely diplomatic person, but this wonderful quality might desert you today. Avoid using excessive flattery, and don’t treat others arrogantly. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Be alert for uncertainties in your affairs, and protect your interests at all times. Conditions could have a disturbing influence on your material dealings, so stay sharp. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) This might not turn out to be such a nifty day if you and your mate, partner or friend cannot agree upon a social outing. Toss a coin. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be wary of falling into patterns that are selfdefeating or that make matters more complicated than the need to be. Work on figuring out effective shortcuts, instead of dwelling on frustrating detours. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) A well-intentioned, close pal isn’t likely to be the one you should go to for some constructive advice. Talk to someone with a valuable distance from the matter at hand. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) A major achievement won’t be denied you, if
you have the fortitude and/or tenacity to attain it. Persistence will be your watchword don’t give up! ARIES (March 21-April 19) If you find yourself in a position where must make a decision that would affect friends who hold opposing positions, try to be as wise and impartial as possible. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) In order for a joint endeavor to work out, you need to make sure there is parity between the players. It won’t succeed if the workload is unequal. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Be careful not to automatically veto a partner’s wishes without careful consideration. You’d be asking for a real blowup. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Don’t ask and expect a co-worker to take care of an onerous chore for you without offering to do the same for him or her down the line, fully intending to stand by your word.
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.

THE
Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder IF YOU SMELL GAME, BID THAT GAME Shirley Manson, a Scottish singer and songwriter best known for her part in Garbage, an American alternative rock band, said, “I am laughably aggressive, and the rest of the band is very laid-back, so we mix well.” As we have been witnessing all week, at the bridge table it usually pays to be aggressive in the auction. This is particularly true when you have a good fit with your partner or, if no-trump is in the offing, you have a long minor suit you are hoping to run. For example, look at the North hand in the diagram. What would you respond after partner opens one no-trump, showing a
balanced hand with 15 to 17 points? Would it make any difference if the club queen were, say, the four? The strength of your hand depends on partner’s diamond holding. If he has a low doubleton, you will be lucky to get five tricks from the suit. (It has an a priori probability of 33.9 percent, finding West with king-doubleton or kingthird.) But if he has the king, your chance of six tricks leaps up. With the club queen, I think you should plunge into three no-trump. The vulnerable game bonus is a powerful lure. Without the club queen, if you do not use transfer bids into the minors, jump to three no-trump. However, if you use transfers into the
minors, respond two notrump, showing diamonds. If partner rebids three diamonds, saying that he likes diamonds, he must have the king and you can sign off in three no-trump. But if partner rebids three clubs, saying that he does not like diamonds, you can sign off in three diamonds.

ispatches from the eastern front...My eastern adventures have led me to the shores of the St. Lawrence and to the small town of Prescott, Ont., pop. about 5,000. I am staying with my brother Thom and his wife Anne at their house which overlooks the North Channel of the Seaway, and it is a fabulous location. The backyard is high on a hill with a broad mowed path that slopes gently Pat Black down through a wetland of tall grasses and bull rushes to the banks of the channel with a small back bay bordering this path which is also edged with bull rushes and tall grasses. Ideal habitat for all sorts of birds, and a resident blue heron patrols the area at frequent intervals. A tall Osprey platform leaning precariously to the left plays lookout; its untidy stick nest contains two chicks and an always anxious parent hovering or poking or sitting tall and flapping her wings trying to teach the fledglings how to fly. We forget, being westerners, and especially residents of the Okanagan with all its
PERSONAL BEST
splendour, that the east has many wild and beautiful places as natural as ours, some of them little known and sparsely inhabited and yet this section along the St. Lawrence has been settled since the 1700s. This is such a contrast to the Greater Toronto Area, three hours away, with its six million people, never-ending concrete high-rises, perpetual traffic congestion and super suicide highways. You have a choice driving those highways: you either become as aggressive as everyone else or you shouldn’t drive them as you are likely to cause or become a terrible accident statistic. This is not on my bucket list of things to do. I mentioned in an earlier column that Vernon City Council had formed an Accessibility Committee. The goals are to provide Council with recommendations on matters relating to working towards accessibility in the City of Vernon by removing physical, social and attitudinal barriers which impede full participation in all aspects of community life and to provide an accessible community to support the independence, comfort, self esteem and security of all its residents, especially those with disabilities. The duties of this committee will include identifying, evaluating, and making recommendations to Council regarding the removal of barriers faced by people
with disabilities, seniors, and others. This committee will also act as a liaison between Council and any community organization concerned with the removal of barriers faced by people with disabilities, seniors, and others. This Accessibility Committee, of which I am a member, will meet again in September and if you, or someone you know, is having an accessibility problem let me know. You can reach me by e-mail at blackmail1@telus. net or call me at 250-542-7928 after Aug. 15 when I return to Vernon. Do you take vitamins and should you take them? It is a question often debated although more and more seniors seem to be taking multivitamins on a regular basis. Recently the Harvard School of Medicine concluded that for most people the potential of taking a daily multivitamin seems to outweigh the potential risks but eating a healthy diet is the most important thing we can do. Not news to most of us. However it seems that if we don’t eat healthy diets, then taking a multivitamin provides some insurance against deficiencies. They say that it is important to stick to the recommended doses and avoid super supplements (if a supplement sounds too good to be true, it probably is). Consult the Canada Food Guide for tips on healthy eating.

MacKay, Darlene Ann
December 6, 1922 - July 23, 2012 After a lifetime of devotion to family, friends and community, June Ash (nee Bisson) passed away in Sherwood Park on July 23, 2012 at the age of 89 years. June will be forever loved and remembered by her husband Gordon, her three daughters: Lynda (Ken) Mawer, Margo (John) Tackaberry, Heather (Ken) Gnam, and loving sister Nell Larson. Also saddened by their beloved “Gramma” passing are her grandchildren: Bruce (Joel) Mawer, Lisa (Randy) Gausman, Jill (Michael) Rutherford, Kelly (Ian) Armstrong and her great-grandchildren: Tre’ and Jori Mawer, and Wes Gausman. June was born December 6, 1922 in Peace River. She met Gordon Ash during their high school years in Peace River and they became sweethearts. Both June and Gordon enlisted in the RCAF during WW II and after the war they were married. June was active in various service clubs and was an avid golfer and curler. She obtained her pilot’s license and accompanied Gordon on various flying adventures over the years. In her later years, she even learned to water ski! June and Gordon worked together in their store, Ash Jewellers. Besides raising their three daughters, they took on various positions within their church and service clubs. June enjoyed her sports and hobbies and loved to socialize with friends. June and Gordon were very patriotic and loved to travel and explore Canada. During their snowbird years they enjoyed square and round dancing meeting some very dear friends through this. June and Gordon also travelled to various places in the world and were keenly interested in the local cultures of each country. June’s family would like to thank the Sherwood Park Care Centre for their exceptional care of June. The kindness and compassion shown by the staff reflect the loving family atmosphere of June’s last home on earth. A memorial service will be held at St. Thomas Anglican Church on Raven Drive in Sherwood Park on August 4, 2012 at 1:30 p.m. If desired, donations in memory of June may be made to the Alberta Heart and Stroke Foundation. To send condolences please visit www.glenwoodmemorial.com
The family and friends of Darlene Ann MacKay regret to announce her death on July 19th, 2012 at the age of 55.
Darlene was truly an angel to all of us, helping us in so many ways through her simple, kind and thoughtful manner. Her steady and constant presence was a precious gift. She helped us celebrate our joys and shouldered our losses. To say that we will miss her is an understatement, quite simply our lives have been changed forever, and we will be missing a part of our hearts for a very long time. We loved her deeply. Darlene didn’t want a fuss so we will be holding a private service at a later date. If you would like to honour Darlene’s memory please make a donation to the Animal Care Society of Vernon. We would like to thank the Community Care nurses who have helped Darlene over the last year, as well as the amazing staff at Hospice House. You all made a very difficult road a little easier to travel, thank you.

KARL “CHUCK” MIKSCHE March 6, 1950 - July 22, 2012
Born in Surrey B.C., Karl graduated from QEHS school, Where he excelled in sports and developed his great interpersonal skills. Karl earned the nick name “Chuck” because of his talent as a base ball pitcher. Karl’s love for family and his loyalty and dedication, will be missed by his surviving children, son Matt, and daughter Kelly. He leaves behind a sister Trudel in Langley. After a successful business career with CPA, Karl travelled extensively, acquiring an appreciation for knowledge, culture, and the arts. Karl was an avid outdoorsman who loved natures beauty and all her creatures. His many friends will miss his humour, charm and loyalty. While he did not ‘suffer fools lightly’ he was kind and generous to his friends and associates. Cancer was the official cause of his death, but the untimely demise of his eldest daughter Danielle, from the same illness, no doubt contributed. All his friends will mourn his passing but be comforted that he died peacefully in the care of his last true love. Thoes wanting to join in a celebration of Karl’s life may contact “Sam” Bob Mason @250-547-6567 to acquire the details. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Canadian Cancer Society.

SCHROETER, Norman Paul Norman Paul Schroeter was born in Oliver, BC in 1939, and died in Vernon, BC on July 24, 2012. Norm is survived by his wife of over 50 years, Gladys; three children: Lynne (Mike) Dulaney of Calgary; Neil (Heather) of Peachland; Leslie of Penhold, AB; and two grandchildren, Blaire and Rhys MacNicol of Calgary. He is also survived by three brothers: Gerald of El Centro, CA; David (Edna) of Calgary; and Daniel (Linda Wolfenden) of Vancouver; and his sister-in-law Mary of Osoyoos. He was predeceased by his parents, Herman and Lucy; and his oldest brother, Hans, all of Osoyoos. Norm joined the RCMP in 1958, and was very proud of being a member of the Force.

Gourlie
We regret to announce the death at Kelowna General Hospital on July 17, 2012, of Laurie Gourlie, at the age of 59 years. Born in Stettler, AB, Laurie was a resident of Vernon for 50 years and was employed for a number of years in the Staffing Department of Vernon Jubilee Hospital. She was a longtime member of the Okanagan Valley Cat Fanciers. Laurie will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her husband of 29 years, Barry Gourlie; daughter Laurilee (Jim) Campen of Lavington; son Jason (Carmen) Gourlie of Lethbridge; and three grandchildren: Dallas, Ashley and Anthony. She is also survived by 2 brothers, Daniel Coulter and his children Jaimie and Jesse, and Chris (Arlene) of Lumby; and brother-in-law Brian (Maggie) Gourlie and his children Sherylee and Angela. Barry and family wish to extend their gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and staff at Kelowna General Hospital I.C.U. for their constant respectful care and support of both Laurie and her family. Also, they wish to thank their many friends, and Laurie’s co-workers for kindness and support.
