Cyclist killed in morning commute Morning Star Staff
A teenage girl died of injuries Friday after her bicycle was in an early-morning collision with a vehicle in Vernon. The accident happened at around 6:30 a.m. at the intersection of 25th Avenue and 37th Street. The 17-year-old cyclist was sent to Vernon Jubilee Hospital in critical condition where she later died of her injuries. “The investigation has learned that a teenaged girl was on her bike traveling in the bike lane eastbound when she was struck by a car driven by a Vernon resident in her 60s,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The cyclist was not wearing a helmet, but Molendyk said Friday it was not known if wearing a helmet would have made a difference to her injuries. The victim’s name had not been released prior to The Morning Star’s deadline as relatives were still being contacted. The 68-year-old driver of the car was also taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital for injuries she received in the accident. Her vehicle has been taken in for a mechanical inspection. Molendyk said Friday afternoon that an RCMP reconstruction analyst was continuing to work on the investigation. “The analyst advised it could take some time to determine the exact cause of the crash,” he said. Any witnesses to the accident should call Vernon RCMP at 250-545-7171

Teenager responsible for sparking Rise fire RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
An error in judgement is being linked to a grass fire that threatened two Vernon homes. Authorities say a young person found a lighter, tested it and accidently initiated a fire in the area next to The Rise neighbourhood Tuesday. The blaze spread to 36 hectares and came close to two residences. “The young offender has been co-operative,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson, who would not reveal the individual’s age or gender. The teenager was identified after witnesses spoke to the RCMP, Vernon Fire Department and the Ministry of Forests team working on the investigation. The agencies are recommending the youth go through the restorative justice program as a way of being accountable for their actions. “It’s a much quicker system and all of the people affected are present,” said Molendyk of restorative justice.
“The individual who caused the harm meets the individuals who had harm done to them.” Ultimately, a decision is made on punishment. “It could be community hours or going through a program,” said Molendyk. The rapidly moving blaze Tuesday was tackled by crews from the Vernon, Okanagan Landing and BX-Swan Lake fire departments, as well as ground and air personnel from the Ministry of Forests. Some resources still remain on site. “There have been several hot spots and crews are attending to them,” said Lawrie Skolrood, Vernon deputy fire chief. “We had crews on hand for the weekend and we will continue with fire watch for this week.” Residents are urged to be cautious with fire sources. “The warning needs to be very clear at this time that the conditions in our area right now are such that a fire can be out of control in minutes,” said Molendyk.

A Vernon woman claims she was bumped from surgery because she lives in the wrong town. Mary Obrecht was scheduled for a hip replacement at Kelowna General Hospital Monday, but she learned Wednesday the procedure has been cancelled. “I was told they can’t operate on a Vernon patient because I would be taking a place away from a Kelowna patient,” said the 58-year-old. “They are penalizing the surgeon and me because of a 40-kilometre difference and an address.” Obrecht also believes the cancellation was unnecessary. “I have found out the operating room is empty then. They didn’t fill that spot,” said Obrecht, who works for a local physician. The surgery had been booked in April and plans had been made for her office manager’s position to be covered while she was recovering. “It’s wrong. I was accepted for surgery,” she said. “You just don’t do that (cancel) a few days before the surgery.” Surgery has now been scheduled for Vernon
Jubilee Hospital Sept. 7 and it can’t come soon enough as Obrecht seeks relief from the pain. “You don’t sleep, you can’t walk a block. It’s excruciating.” Interior Health Authority officials deny Obrecht was discriminated against based on her home community. “We operate on patients from across the health authority,” said Sharon Cook, KGH director of health services. IHA says the situation arose because Obrecht’s Vernon-based surgeon was filling in for a colleague in Kelowna and decided to book some cases there, which impacted KGH’s wait list. “There are others who have been waiting much longer,” said Cook of the demand for orthopedic surgery. “It’s only fair that patients on the wait list the longest be given an opportunity first.” Cook says the authority has been sensitive towards Obrecht’s needs. “We really apologize for the inconvenience. I’m happy she’s been rescheduled so quickly.” Despite IHA’s arguments, Obrecht insists she was treated unfairly. “IHA is all under one umbrella and Vernon does lots with Kelowna patients,” she said.

Improvements to recreational facilities operated by Armstrong-Spallumcheen Parks and Recreation could be forthcoming. Parks and rec has applied for a federal grant for more than $200,000 in facility upgrades. Half of the funding – $101,904 – would come from the grant. The Interior Provincial Exhibition would chip in $50,000 while Armstrong and Spallumcheen would each pay $25,952. In Armstrong’s case, more than $22,500 has been budgeted for, which leaves approximately $3,500 of the proposed amount for the application unfunded.

Eighty-one per cent expressed concern about the pumping costs related to the land-based spray irrigation program ($550,000 in power costs in 2011). Coun. Bob Spiers isn’t sure how much focus should be placed on the questionnaire results. “It’s a very small sample size of the community,” he said. Lee points out that any discharge into the lake would only be for surplus treated effluent not used by the spray irrigation program.
“That (surplus) will depend on the year. In a wet year, up to 50 per cent could be excess but in a dry year, there could be little excess,” he said. As part of the process, the consultant is determining the potential impact of a discharge on a variety of areas, including water quality and fish and plant life. Coun. Juliette Cunningham understands there are public concerns but says the potential for discharges should be considered. “The water quality would be pretty high that we would be discharging,” she said. A draft report on the liquid waste management review could be before council by Dec. 31.

Councillor seeks clarification on crime stats ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
One Spallumcheen councillor is looking for statistical clarity from the RCMP. Todd York had a question about the Vernon-North Okanagan detachment’s quarterly report from April to June, which showed that the township’s calls for service in June totalled 114, up from 83 the year before in the same month, but only listed 24 of those files for certain Criminal Code and Motor Vehicle Act offences. “Are there a whole
lot of files opened above these different categories?” asked York at Monday’s regular township council meeting. “Where are the other 80-something files? What category do they fall under?” The quarterly report showed Spall’s total calls for service increasing from 112 in May and 92 in June. York’s worried the numbers may be used against the township in negotiations to pay for police officers. “If this very information gets used to determine the cost proportion in three years, then
“What category do they fall under?” — Todd York there has to be some consistency as to how this is done so these file numbers don’t appear to be out of whack,” said York. Ve r n o n - N o r t h Okanagan RCMP Supt. Reg Burgess can alleviate York’s concerns. Burgess said it would take a huge major impact to change the
policing numbers the township has agreed upon with the province “These quarterly reports let mayors and councils know what’s happening on sort of a day-to-day basis,” said Burgess, Tuesday.“When they’re doing the actual negotiations, the province looks at Statistics Canada reports and the
overall big picture.” In his reports, Burgess said total calls for service are based on files open, which could be somebody phoning in a loud noise complaint. The statistics he bases his reports on only pick out certain calls to report on, and those include the more serious calls for Criminal Code offences. “That’s why there’s a discrepancy,” said Burgess, in response to York’s query. In June 2012, there were nine motor vehicle accidents, according to
The eagle has landed back home
Burgess’ report, same as June 2011. There were three assaults and three thefts from vehicles. Armstrong’s total calls for service in June were 98, down two from 100 the year before. Files

An eagle statue has been returned to its owner in Enderby.
Morning Star Staff
Spirits have soared for an Enderby woman. Gloria Morgan’s metal eagle sculpture was returned overnight Thursday after being stolen from her Highway 97A home Tuesday. “I looked and there was the eagle on the lawn, beside the broken post. It was laying on its back, looking up at the sky,” she said. As a member of the Splatsin First Nation and a former chief, Morgan considers the eagle cultural and spiritually significant. “My heart soared, like an eagle. I could not believe my eyes,” she said of the return of the ornament. “My heart seemed like it filled up with warm liquid that spread to the rest of my body and mind. Thank goodness someone had a heart and a conscience.” The eagle was damaged during its disappearance — two claws are missing and the

feathers are bent. “They hacksawed the post off the bottom,” she said. “Otherwise it is OK and we will put it up again after we repair it and make it look shiny and powerful again.” Morgan hopes those involved in removing the eagle, and particularly if they are also the ones who returned it, have learned a life lesson.
“I just ask whoever took it, ‘Please don’t take things from other
people.’ I would also say to them, ‘Thanks,’” she said.

Too much of anything
R
emember a few years ago when term limits were all the rage? The idea was that every few election cycles, politicians would have to run for a different office or go back home to steal money the old-fashioned way, by lobbying or lawyering. If term limits are such a good idea for politicians, why aren’t they a good idea for other professions? Why not have term limits for entertainers? Three television sitcoms and, boom, that’s it. If you were on Jim Mullen Friends and then were in two TV series that were flops, that’s it. You could make movies, tour in summer stock, make a TV movie of the week or even get a real job, but no more TV sitcoms. That door would be shut to you forever. It should be against the law for any movie to have more than two sequels. The first three Star Wars that were released were fine, but that should have ended it. Enough! Basta! Fini! We didn’t need the other three. And never again should we have to sit through Rocky V (not that anybody did). Still, we shouldn’t even have to hear about it. Movie stars should be allowed to get divorced only three times. That’s enough; leave some stars and starlets available for the rest of us. Why anyone would want to be someone’s fourth husband or fifth wife is beyond me. Do you think people get married four times because they are wonderful, well-adjusted people who keep accidentally picking the wrong partner? If movie and TV stars haven’t worked in the acting business for a few years, they automatically should become normal people once again. No more screaming headlines that read “’Titanic’ Actress Killed on Safari!” And then you find out that she played the fourth woman in lifeboat No. 6, didn’t have a speaking part and

never appeared in another movie. Recording artists should be allowed only one greatest hits album. The second compilation would have to be called “Not-So-Greatest Hits.” The third one must be called “My Manager Robbed Me” or “I Wasted All My Money on Cocaine and Booze, So This Is My 401(k).” Only one or two anniversary celebrations of dubious historic events should be allowed. We need another bogus Woodstock anniversary like we need another missing 10-year-old. The same thing with reality show reunions or “allstar” shows. There should be a limit on how many times we have to watch the same advertisements. That cute little baby who trades stocks in his crib? The first few hundred times it ran, it was cute. The second thousand times, not so much. Now it reminds me of the kid who kept kicking the back of my seat on the last flight I took. Is that the purpose of advertising? To make the customer cranky? If you haven’t changed your car insurance to the company with the Cockney lizard or the woman with the fireengine-red lipstick by now, what is it going to take? Certainly seeing the ad one more time isn’t going to do it. At some point, advertisers will figure out it would be cheaper to hire mob enforcers to come to your door and threaten to break your legs unless you change your insurance company than to repeatedly run the same ad. Sorry about your legs, but why should the rest of us have to suffer because you’re being so stubborn? If political pundits think term limits are a good idea for politicians, why aren’t they a good idea for political pundits? Let’s say eight years of political punditing is enough. Then you have to go get a real job. Or run for office. Jim Mullen’s newest book, How to Lose Money in Your Spare Time — At Home, is available at amazon.com.

The Liberals have completely mishandled ICBC, and the proof came on Thursday, when a review showed the company has been hiring boatloads of senior managers and paying them more each year — with the government apparently oblivious to this fact. There are 32 per cent more managers than in 2007, and they are paid (as a group) 70 per cent more than managers received in 2007. Fifty-four of them made more than $200,000 each in 2011. The Liberals insisted, on taking office in 2001, that ICBC didn’t need to be privatized, nor did there need to be complete competition in the auto insurance sector. They merged ICBC operations with the motor vehicle branch, and had ICBC contribute to policing initiatives, and thus thoroughly muddled it with legitimate government activities. This has made it very difficult to unwind ICBC, the insurance company, from ICBC, the public policy arm. They have also insisted, especially in recent years, that substantial dividends from ICBC go back to the shareholder — the government. This means that all ICBC customers, and that’s everyone who owns a vehicle, are paying additional insurance premiums to boost government revenues. This is not a commercial transaction — it’s a tax grab, hidden in the guise of insurance costs. The government has now, very belatedly, said ICBC meeds to cut its management costs and manager compensation. This comes just after ICBC has boosted insurance rates by 11.2 per cent. Government mismanagement at its finest. – Langley Times

Perception is not always reality
I
'm writing in regards to the shed fire at my house last month. There is a lot of supposition that we are drug dealers or we're making it. I just want to state that is totally wrong. I work full time, my wife is a new amputee, we have three kids and we have taken in about 12 kids off the streets. The kids use the shed as a hangout. If they are drinking, we get the keys and they crash in the shed. Most of them are too old for Teen Junction and cannot afford to go to the bar. It's cheaper pooling money and getting a case of beer. We check identification. Basically, these kids are all good kids. They help out when needed. People have to look past what they think they are doing to what they are doing. At least in the shed, they are not hanging out on the street or on the school playgrounds. Or would you like them wandering the streets? We encourage you to come and meet us and meet them. That way you can get your own impression of them. Brian Jacobson
NO POWER ON SWAN I used to believe common sense would prevail until the last few weekends. It appears that some people with their fancy power boats and jet-skis think its convenient and great to go bombing around on Swan Lake pulling wake-boards. Okanagan and Kalamalka lakes are a mere 10-minute drive from Swan. Swan Lake is extra high this year so it makes it much easier to launch these boats. I was always under the impression that these boats were banned from Swan Lake. But apparently the Ministry of Environment does not seem to think so. I wrote a letter to Terry Lake, environment minister, and I have yet to hear back from him or his department. So to the local Ministry of Environment reps, give your head a shake and ban power boats above 9.9 horsepower on Swan Lake. These boats not only are a nuisance to kayakers, fishermen and canoeists, they are also a hazard on such a small lake to rowers. It is only a matter of time before a tragic accident happens. The miniature tsunamis created by the boats also are spilling the
bird nests just off the shoreline. You can find cranes, ospreys, eagles, blue heron and many other birds at this lake. I encourage everyone to contact MLA Eric Foster to support, and have him support, this initiative. Mr. Foster, if you are reading this, please encourage Mr. Lake to ban these power boats on Swan Lake sooner then later. Keith McDonald GALACTIC DISAPPOINTMENT The reddish glow emanating from Mars has excited our imaginations ever since man first gazed thoughtfully up at the night sky. The people at NASA have preformed another mind-bogglingly task: landing a complex package of scientific instruments on a distant planet. Just imagine if some benevolently intelligent extraterrestrial witnessed Curiosity, the aptly named mobile laboratory, landing on Mars. What lofty expectations the extraterrestrial would have for the life forms that accomplished such an intellectually challenging feat. Now imagine that extraterrestrial deciding to visit our planet and by sheer happenstance select-
ing for its destination the latitude and longitude of Aleppo, Syria. Oh my God, wouldn’t that naive extraterrestrial be in for the galactic disappointment of its existence. Lloyd Atkins DISAPPOINTED As members of the Okanagan Mopars Car Club, we would like to express our disappointment in the cancellation of our annual car show that was to be held at O'Keefe Ranch July 14 and 15. There were many car enthusiasts that had plans to attend, some from as far away as Terrace and the Lower Mainland. We feel it is necessary to inform the public as to the reason for the cancellation for our show. We had held our show at the O'Keefe Ranch several times since 2003. We had always provided the ranch with much-needed extra attendance income on those occasions without asking for any financial consideration in return. Our contract for the show weekend this year started out with very similar terms to our earlier shows. However, just three days before our event, the ranch unilaterally
changed the terms of our agreement and added significant fees to our participants without notice to our club members or executive. This last-minute change was deemed very unacceptable. Therefore, we were forced to cancel the event. Of course, this harmed the good reputation of our club and disappointed hundreds of participants and spectators alike. There has been a considerable amount of discussion in The Morning Star lately regarding the lack of financial resources to support the O'Keefe Ranch. With this poor decision by the ranch, there was a loss of the extra income to be realized by the spectator attendance for this year's show. This is not the only loss to the ranch's income, however. Our club has already booked our show into a new venue for 2013 outside of Vernon. This now creates a loss of business income for the merchants of Vernon as well. For some good news, we would like to invite all Mopar fans, and all past and present members of our club, to our Okanagan Mopars 20th birthday bash in 2013. It will

Rural areas hatch request RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Rural residents may soon have the same ability as urban counterparts to keep chickens. The Regional District of North Okanagan is reviewing its zoning bylaws to see if properties in the residential and small holding zones in the five electoral areas can raise chickens as a source of Jackie Pearase food. “You can have chickens in Vernon and Vancouver but you can’t have them in rural Enderby,” said director Jackie Pearase. Presently, RDNO bylaws only allow chickens on parcels one hectare or larger, which rules out residential lots.
Pearase admits she was surprised to learn about the rules as her rural Enderby constituency is agricultural in nature and some residents may be keeping chickens without knowing they are breaking the law. “People want food sustainability but we have a bylaw against it.” As part of the process, the district will consider how many chickens may be allowed on a property and whether roosters should be banned because of crowing. “We will take a look at what other communities have done and see what fits in our areas,” said Greg Routley, deputy planning manager. Pearase is looking to balance the needs of people wanting chickens and those living next door. “You can have chickens but it doesn’t have to irritate the neighbours,” she said.

Morning Star owner proposes Kitimat oil refinery TOM FLETCHER Black Press
A Victoria businessman is heading up a proposal to build a $13-billion oil refinery in Kitimat. David Black, chairman and owner of Black Press (owner of The Morning Star), announced Friday he wants to build a world scale oil refinery at Kitimat. Black told a news conference in Vancouver Friday he is submitting an environmental assessment application to build a “world scale” oil refinery on behalf of Kitimat Clean Ltd., a company owned by Black. The proposed refinery would be big enough to process all the diluted bitumen carried by Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline.
“I see myself as a catalyst to make this happen.” — David Black Black said he has had extensive discussions with Enbridge and other players in the Canadian oil industry, but none has so far offered to back the project. Black said he will use his own money to finance the proposal through environmental assessment, which he expects to cost several million dollars. After that, he said investors would be needed to complete it, assuming both the
refinery and the pipeline receive approval. He has had preliminary meetings with Kitimat and Terrace councils, as well as the Haisla and Kitselas First Nations in the region. The proposed site is a 3,000-hectare Crown industrial property between Terrace and Kitimat. Kitimat Mayor Joanne Monaghan spoke by phone to the news conference, offering

It outlines the future vision and growth strategy for Vernon. The City of Vernon ensures that the public gets a chance to review and comment on proposed amendments to the OCP. Please join us at an Open House to view information on the proposed amendment and have your voice heard.

The proposal includes 96 fourplex units, 38 townhouse units (row housing style) and 80 apartment units. Approximately 88 units are proposed to be attainable and affordable ownership housing. The apartment building may include a small commercial development such as a coffee shop. Please see the proposed site plan.
encouragement for the proposal. But Black acknowledged he does not yet have formal support from communities or investors. “I see myself as a catalyst to make this happen,” said Black, who first proposed the idea to the province and the industry seven years ago when he was chairman of the B.C. Progress Board. Black is working with Glenn McGinnis, a consulting engineer and former manager of the Ioco oil refinery in Port Moody. “We want it [the Kitimat refinery] to be the cleanest and greenest upgrading and refining site in the world,” McGinnis said. The refinery would produce 240,000 barrels per day of diesel, 100,000 barrels per day of gasoline and 50,000 barrels per day of kerosene or aviation fuel, refined from heavy oil.

Weeds replace city’s sparkle ROGER KNOX
My Downtown Merchant
Morning Star Staff
Five years ago, the City of Armstrong was a national Communities in Bloom champion. Now, says Coun. Shirley Fowler, the bloom has worn off. Fowler was commenting on a public works report issued by city administrator Patti Ferguson, which included an update on the beautification done to the entrance to the city at Smith Road. “The entrance is looking really nice, not a lot of shrubs and I assume flowers will be put in,” said Fowler. “I wish I could say that about the rest of downtown.” Fowler said she received two calls on the August long weekend from people complaining about the look of a riparian area near Wood Avenue. One woman showed Fowler a picture of her standing in weeds up to her waist. “We used to have a contractor come in and do rough mowing before the long weekend,” said Fowler. “Long weekends seem to come along once a month. It would be nice to have the mowing done before then as that’s when more people come through town and there are more events and functions.” Ferguson explained that the weeds in that area had been cut down in July, and are scheduled to be done again this week as a touch-up prior to the IPE. The contractor is currently scheduled to only come once a month. Fowler said flowers should be added to the Welcome to Armstrong signs; pruning should be done to the shrubs alongside Askew’s; there are “six or seven different heights” of hedgerow weeds and there doesn’t appear to have been any hand-watering along the hedgerow. “The weeds there are all going to seed,” she said. “We’re an agricultural community. We should be paying more attention to those things.” Fowler said the look of the downtown is “not something we should be proud of,” and hopes to have that fixed up in time for 2013, Armstrong’s Centennial year.
“We’re an agricultural community. We should pay more attention to those things.”
Makes Me Sparkle
— Shirley Fowler “Maybe we’ll have somebody that will oversee the landscaping, have a proper schedule and proper techniques for looking after the material,” she said. “It was only five years ago we were national Community in Bloom champion for our category. We’re so far from that right now.” Ferguson assured Fowler and the rest of council that a plan is in place, and that plan has been aided by a $7,500 grant from B.C. Hydro. “We are going to plant new trees in the hedgerow, and we’ll replace the trees along Pleasant Valley Road to the pellet plant,” said Ferguson. “Once the trees are planted, we’ll know what shrubs can be put in as filler.”

News No movement on submerged piledriver RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A piledriver isn’t leaving Kalamalka Lake as quick as officials would like. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations hoped in early July that a piledriver submerged near Rattlesnake Point would be gone soon. But it’s still there. “The vessel is still at the site contrary to the conditions of the trespass
notice issued by my officer,” said Patrick Tobin, manager of compliance and enforcement. “We are assessing enforcement actions available to us at this time.” The vessel has been at this location since at least April and there have been concerns about possible water contamination from oil or gas. “I hope we can find a solution before long,” said Tobin.

District ends public work on private road JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
An old habit is dying hard in Coldstream. For more than two decades, Coldstream public works crews have plowed snow on Priest Valley Court – a private access road servicing four homes. But that is slated to end this winter. Since it is not a public road, Coldstream is not obligated to plow the road, therefore the district is cutting its losses.

“We just inadvertently got into the habit of clearing that road because it looks and smells like a road,” said Stamhuis.

Local residents could appeal Coldstream’s decision again.

Weisgerber takes on field duty GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Already a box lacrosse ace, Coldstream’s Chelsea Weisgerber has had to learn the sport’s field counterpart on the fly. With just two months of practice, the 17-year-old recently toured with the Burnaby Mountain Selects girls field team to the Northern Rise tournament in Boston. The Selects didn’t win a game, but for Weisgerber, it was more about gaining confidence and exposure in an unfamiliar sport. “That was my first time ever playing girls field lacrosse,” said Weisgerber, a 5-foot-5 attack wing who pocketed a pair of goals and several assists in four games in Beantown. “I love lacrosse so much, and playing girls is really my only option. You can’t play with the boys at this age because they’re way too big.” Weisgerber, a straight-A student at Kalamalka Secondary, realizes field lacrosse is her best option for not only continuing her beloved sport, but also securing a scholarship. Her goal is to attract interest from U.S. colleges, but she worries it might be too late to get noticed. “I started way too late to get recruited,” she said. “I only started playing girls field lacrosse two months ago. It’s hard because the (NCAA) Div. 1 and Div. 2 schools, they pretty much have their teams picked already for my age group.” That leaves Division 3 schools, who have shown interest in Weisgerber due to her student-athlete qualities. “They don’t give out athletic scholarships, but they do give out academic scholarships, and I get straight A’s,” she said. Weisgerber, who moved to Coldstream from Calgary, says there are plenty of subtle differences that have made the transition from box to field a challenging one. There is also one that is not so subtle. “For my team, we play in skirts, so that’s a lot different,” laughed Weisgerber, who also struggled for a bit to adapt to the different sticks used in girls lacrosse. “You don’t have pockets in the sticks, so stickhandling is a lot different. You don’t get a nice pocket in it because it’s flat. It’s really hard to handle the ball, but my stick skills are just as good as theirs.” Given Weisgerber’s crash course into field lacrosse, Selects’ head coach Chris Fox feels there is plenty of untapped potential in her game. “She came in completely fresh,” he said. “She had a general idea of the game... and she was able to rely on her great athleticism. “Once she felt comfortable with her new stick, she was then able to focus on the new rules and strategies of the women’s game.” Fox says a lot of Weisgerber’s early success has to do with her dedication and willingness to learn. She quit her job so that she could make the five-hour commute to Burnaby

Coldstream’s Chelsea Weisgerber follows the action with the Burnaby Mountain Selects girls field lacrosse team at the Northern Rise tournament in Boston. every weekend for the two months of training. “Chelsea is extremely coachable and not afraid to ask questions; quite humble,” he said. “More often than not, the other girls were thinking of asking the same questions, but Chelsea was so eager to learn, she was first to put her hand forward and step up and ask. A coach’s dream, really. “Chelsea was one of our most improved (players), not because she wasn’t great to begin with, but because she learned so much and was able to apply it on the field in such a limited and regimented amount of time.” No matter what happens, Weisgerber is adamant she will
stay connected with lacrosse. If she is unable to secure a scholarship, she would love to help the girls game flourish in the Okanagan as a coach. “I’m going to try really hard to get girls started,” she said. “Lacrosse is such a fun sport. It’s just not very popular, but maybe if people knew about it more it would catch on.” Weisgerber made North Okanagan box lacrosse history in 2009 by becoming the first-ever player, boy or girl, to make a provincial team. She competed at nationals in Whitby, Ont. She also backstopped the Vernon United Under 17 girls soccer team to a provincials berth earlier this summer.
Volpatti adds star power to Viper charity golf tourney Morning Star Staff
Winger Aaron Volpatti of the Vancouver Canucks is the latest hockey celebrity confirmed for the Vernon Vipers’ inaugural golf tournament for KidSport next Sunday at The Rise. Volpatti, 27, signed a new one-year, two-way contract with the Canucks in June. A Viper grad and Revelstoke product, Volpatti spends his summers in Vernon. He joins Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens, Jerred Smithson of the Florida Panthers and Detroit Red Wings’ scout Aaron Volpatti Marty Stein as guest celebrities in the scramble tournament (1 p.m. shotgun start). Price, who recently signed a lucrative, longterm contract with the Habs, officially got engaged on Thursday. Viper head coach Jason Williamson, and assistant coach
and former captain Dave Robinson will join at least 15 of this year’s team in the charity classic. Williamson said the Vipers are putting up some high-end sticks and clothing on the prize table. “We’re just past the 80-player mark and we’re shooting for 100,” said Rise pro Lee Ranger. “This is our first one and we hope to raise lots of money for KidSport. There will be some great prizes and tee gifts.” To register, call The Rise at 503-4535 or the Vipers’ office at 542-6022. Meanwhile, Viper grad Colton Cyr signed a letter of intent with the American International College Yellow Jackets of the ECAC on Thursday. The Jackets are based in Springfield, Mass. Cyr joined the Vipers at the BCHL trade deadline and was a valuable leader and scorer up front as the Vipers fell short in a push for a playoff berth. He finished a five-year career with 56 goals and 107 points in 226 games, most with the
Nanaimo Clippers, where he was a captain. “It was a big relief,” said Cyr, 21, of Nanaimo. “It’s been a stressful summer trying to line something up. I was set up to play Division 3 (St. Norbert near Green Bay) and they (AIC) had a player leave and things ended up working out for me.” Williamson sent the Yellow Jackets’ head coach Gary Wright a video and high recommendation, while Bill Bestwick and Mike Vandekamp, who coached Cyr in Nanaimo, also served as references. “I can’t thank Jason and the Vipers organization enough for helping me get this incredible opportunity,” said Cyr, whose uncle, Paul Cyr, was a NHL forward. “Definitely, after five years of Junior, I wanted to find myself in Division 1 hockey.” Cyr will join former Clipper teammate Brandon Fagerheim and two other ex-BCHLers – Nick Sandor (Trail) and Matt Cassidy (Cowichan Valley) – in Springfield. Cyr will study health with an eye towards a bachelor of science degree.

Wanna be an NFL ref?
S
ent a resume to the NFL a few weeks back hoping to get some work as a replacement referee during the preseason. Pretty sure I know the rules well enough to be a line judge for a few hours down in Seattle or Phoenix and make enough to pay off a speeding ticket and buy my kids some back-to-school clothes. Haven’t heard back so I’m assuming just because I won a few dollars in the Fulton Fantasy Football League with my buddy Roger Knox, that I violated the league’s gambling policy. Shannon Eastin, however, did get the call and has become the first woman to officiate an NFL game. This, despite her having played in the World Series of Poker in Vegas. The 42-year-old from Tempe, Ariz. broke the NFL’s on-field gender barrier Thursday night, serving as the line judge for a seven-man crew working the Green Bay PackersSan Diego Chargers game, somehow won by the Chargers. Makes me wonder if she blew a few calls to help the Kevin Mitchell Chargers win, but apparently she was solid. According to the Associated Press, Eastin was dwarfed by the players as she lined up in front of San Diego’s sideline and had a camera following nearly every move before the game. Wearing No. 27, she seemed at ease in the spotlight, though, and had at least two players shake her hand right before the opening kickoff. Though she wasn’t involved in many calls until late, Eastin stayed steady among the giants and the national spotlight, earning her stripes by receiving the ultimate officials’ compliment: It was almost as if she wasn’t there. Makes me wonder why more females aren’t working the lines in pro football. Eastin is a referee in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, college football’s second-highest level, and a 16-year veteran of officiating. Eastin got her NFL shot as a replacement official, among a group taking the place of the regular refs, who are locked out. And now, she’ll have a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Well, at least her cap will; the one she wore Thursday is headed to Canton, Ohio. Violet Palmer, one of Eastin’s inspirations, began officiating NBA games in 1997 and is still in the league. Bernice Gera became the first woman to work in baseball’s minor leagues, serving as an umpire in a New York-Penn League game in 1972. Pam Postema umpired major league spring training games in 1989 and, thanks to a push by commissioner Bart Giamatti, made it up to Triple-A for six seasons. She was fired a few months after Giamatti’s death, filed a sex discrimination suit and settled out of court years later. In Vernon, Shannon Smart is regarded as one of the top soccer referees, of either gender. She’s 20-something and through her training of teenage
BETWEEN THE LINES
officials, we will have more fine lady soccer referees in the future. Young Shawna Mann does a good job refereeing minor hockey in Vernon, and as long as she can shake off the verbal abuse, will hopefully stay in the game and inspire younger girls. A female brings a different scope and attitude to sport. There aren’t enough female coaches, probably because they feel intimidated in what is mainly a man’s world. I hope the exposure Eastin is getting as a replacement ref will help her find work as a regular referee if they ever solve this dispute. Less than three weeks before the season kicks off, the NFL and the NFL Referees Association are no closer to an agreement to end the lockout of the officials. The NFL is offering to add three full officiating crews, increasing the total number of officials to 140. League spokesman Greg Aiello said “this would reduce stress on the officials by allowing each official to work fewer games, would reduce travel, would allow us to do more intensive training, integrate younger officials more effectively, increase diversity, and improve quality of officiating.” All NFL game officials are part-time employees, with outside jobs ranging from lawyer to teacher to business owner. You may recall the bitter pay dispute between the NFL and the referee’s union back in 2001 when the zebras went on strike. The NFL hired 112 temporary officials, some of whom had worked the most competitive American college football conferences. According to Yahoo, they were paid $8,000 for a guaranteed four weeks. Up to that time, the then-striking officials were earning from $24,825 to $69,990 per season, depending on experience. Yahoo says NFL referees currently earn between $42,295 and $120,998 per season. That might not sound like much, but remember, the NFL season is only 16 games. How do those figures compare with the salaries of refs in other sports? According to AskMen.com, Major League baseball umpires earn anywhere from $100,000 to $280,000 per season, plus they get a generous expense account. NHL officials make even more – from $115,000 to $220,000 per season, based on experience. Probably because they have to know how to skate backwards and stay out of the way of swinging hockey sticks. Anyways, with or without regular officials, the NFL regular season opens Wednesday, Sept. 5 with the Cowboys battling the Giants. Football LOCKS.com has the defending champion Giants at 20-1 odds to repeat. They list the Packers at 11-2, Patriots at 5-1, Niners at 7-1 and Eagles at 8-1. Peyton Manning and the Broncos come in at 18-1. Super Bowl 47 is in New Orleans. Of course, these guys are amateurs compared to Knox, Jenn Thatcher, defending champion Mike Daly, Bob Shannon, Shawn Scott, Ryan Nitchie and myself. Look for Morning Star picks each Friday starting Sept. 7.

Sista’s end on high Morning Star Staff
Sunterra Custom Homes Sista’s shaded the OMG Chick Kickers 3-2 Thursday night to end the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 2 season at Marshall Field #3. Andrea Zubot was literally on fire for the Sista’s as her temperature was up from a summer cold but she still managed to record her second straight Christine Sinclair-like hat trick. Zubot was named the Total Tire Lady of the Match for her hustle and creative ball skills. The tall striker opened the scoring with a brilliant high kick roof daddy past OMG keeper Wendy Nadeau. Tania Wirachowski did a great job distracting Nadeau. The Chick Kickers replied when speedy youngster Cara Main converted from Char Johnson and Mechelle Hennig. Zubot answered with a long shot from outside the 18, with the ball accidentally redirecting off the head of OMG defender Bobbi Catt into the corner. Catt redeemed herself with a sweet, long curving ball to set up striker Ashley Smith, who beat the Sista’s defence down the middle for the equalizer. The first part of second half was owned by the Kickers, but Sista’s stellar new keeper Susan August confidently came out to disrupt many threatening plays inside the 18. August kept Sunterra alive until they got their second wind, playing without a sub, until the later part of the half when stopper Becky (Bubbles) Birbilis put a nice feed up to Zubot who danced around a defender and broke in alone on Nadeau before smartly finding the corner. Biribilis was warned about blowing bubbles with her gum on the field, which charged her up for a high-spirited, dream-killer showing. Jenne Currie and Marisa Wiebe, both playing injured, Maddy Demers, Amanda Gaythorpe and Shireena Zantigh gave strong performances with short sweet passes. Great coaching by Volker Otto paid off as Sunterra finished a solid third at 9-2-7. Nadeau was a standout in net with constant encouragement, while game MVPs for the 10-4-4 Kickers went to Karen Woods, Bobbi Knopf and newlywed Nadine Danyluk.
United crew topples Capri In Division 2 play at Marshall #2, North Okanagan United brushed back the stubborn Capri Insurance Brew Crew 4-1. The Brew Crew struck first when Miranda Beacom fired a great shot past the NOU keeper to get her mates riled up for an exciting game. NOU’s Leslie Arkell then snuck one past keeper Lisa Doughty to level the score late in the first half. Doughty made several marvellous stops in the
opening 40 minutes. There was lots of back and forth action in the second half, but the Brew Crew had some challenges with the speed of the 11-2-5 NOU forward line. Eddie Ramsey (2) and Kelly Megyesi scored for NOU in the second half. Robin Penner, Theresa Bolton and Amy Markim worked hard for Capri defending NOU. Speedster Alisha Hoy for the 4-11-3 Brew Crew worked hard on the outside wing to service the middle with good opportunities for Heather Findlay, Shelinda Morin and Ashleigh Newland.
Understaffed Rockets thwart Attack Randy’s Rockets only had nine players, but managed an 8-0 grounding of Centerline Attack at Marshall #4.

Silver Stars stuff Summerland

In men’s 50s league play Thursday night, the Silver Stars downed the Summerland Rockets 5-2 at Okanagan Mission Fields in Kelowna. Striker Rob Ross opened the offence with a header off a great Mahmoud Abdelkader cross. Dave Hobbs buried a rebound for the Stars’ next goal. Ross had several good chances on close-in shots and breakaways, but made the South Okanagan keeper look like Joe Hart. Summerland came back to tie it 2-2 on some good passing plays. The table was tilted for good with a couple of own goals and a nice shot from towering, lightweight defender Glen Stephanishin. The Piccadilly Street Fish & Chips Man of the Match was boisterous Tim Penaluna standing in goal for the 8-7-4 Stars. Vernon Kal Tire fell 6-1 to Penticton United at Constable Neil Bruce School in West Kelowna. Midfielder Wayne Aasen scored in the late going for the listless Tiremen (12-6-1). Several members of the Stars and Kal Tire open play at the B.C. Seniors Games, Wednesday, in Burnaby.

Kennington tops NASCAR poll D.J. Kennington’s five-race win streak may have ended in Trois-Rivieries, Que., but his hot streak through July and August has not only kept him atop the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series standings, it has him being recognized as one of the hottest drivers across NASCAR’s touring and regional series. Kennington’s wins at the A&W Cruisin’ the Dub 300 at Vernon’s MotoPlex Speedway, and in Edmonton and Saskatoon have given him a nice cushion as he chases his second NASCAR title. It also earned the St. Thomas, Ont., driver the top spot for August in the Hunter Index, as voted on by a panel of auto racing writers and NASCAR representatives. Kennington earned eight of the 16 first-place votes en route to the month’s top honors. He earned 221 points to top NASCAR Whelen AllAmerican Series driver Lee Pulliam (212 and seven

Quotable... “Tough competition, good players. The field, the stadium, it was awesome. A ton of people in the stands. I don’t think pressure really bothered us.

HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. What can I do?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Usually, it’s not a good idea to offer advice to just anyone. However, if one of your friends is in dire need of some helpful suggestions, don’t hesitate to speak up.
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.

A 50-year love story Phil and Ann Lower of Vernon, B.C. will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary on Aug. 24, 2012. Both were born and raised in Vancouver, B.C. They completed their schooling in Vancouver and both graduated from the University of British Columbia. During their time at university they were nicknamed “Annie Baby and Fleur Doer” by the same university friends that attended their wedding in August of 1962. Those same friends will help them celebrate this milestone later this month. Having graduated from UBC, Phil began a lifelong career in management that started with the Hudson’s Bay Company and then moved on to B.C. Hydro. Phil’s career had the family move around the province from work on the WAC Bennett Dam in Dawson Creek, to North Vancouver, Prince George, Vernon, Victoria and finally back to Vernon
to retire. Ann impressed everyone by working towards a second degree in social work while simultaneously raising three kids. She worked as a grief counsellor and ended her career working at Vernon Hospice Society. They have raised three children: Stuart (Des), Cathy (Rob) and Martin (Anna). In addition they are the proud grandparents to four special granddaughters: Tess, Jade, Katelyn and Hayley. Phil and Ann inspire everyone who meet them. They live a healthy, active lifestyle and are busier now in retirement than ever. They have an active social calendar that involves book clubs, golf games, Red Hat activities, Power Pioneer meetings, entertaining, volunteer work and many rounds of bridge with their wide circle of friends. Every summer they
both maintain a regular, daily, swimming workout routine in Okanagan Lake. Another interest that they share is travel. Together they have been to Russia, many countries in Europe, travelled around the Cape of South America, Brazil, the Panama Canal, the Amazon River, New Zealand, Australia, Mexico, and across Canada to name only a few of the places they have visited. Recently, they purchased a home in Arizona and plan to spend a bit of the cold winter soaking up the heat of the desert in the U.S. Phil and Ann will be celebrating a life of love together with their family and a few close friends at Mackie Lake House on Aug. 24. “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.”— Maya Angelou
Local food - more than a trend ROSE SONEFF Special to The Morning Star
The cachet of eating locally grown food hit home for me after a recent visit to New York City. Our son was working there and we had a chance to visit on his birthday, which called for a special celebration. Of the myriad of fine restaurants he could have chosen, he chose Blue Hill in trendy Soho. It is a one-star Michelin restaurant, which means very high standards. Blue Hill is famous not only due to a recent visit specifically requested by President Barack Obama, but for sourcing most of its food seasonally and locally from their own farm in Connecticut. When experiencing fine dining, it is expected that the server
brings the wine to the table and explains the virtues of that particular vintage. For Blue Hill, I was surprised when servers came out with whole parsnips attractively displayed on a platter to show guests the vegetables from the farm and eloquently explain the type of parsnip and how it was used in the cuisine. This continued throughout the meal with presentations of other local ingredients like eggs and cheese. I was delighted that local food had reached this level of attention. Local food is much more than a trend, it benefits our environment, our economy, and has social/cultural and nutritional benefits as well. Most greenhouse gasses produced in agriculture come from the
inputs required to grow, process and transport food. On average, about seven per cent can be attributed to transportation. Buying local food in season and organically whenever possible creates less greenhouse gasses. The economic benefits are even more compelling. More money stays in the community and support for local agriculture creates local jobs. More jobs in agriculture helps to make it a more attractive and sustainable profession and this, in turn, can reduce our reliance on imported food. The social and cultural benefits of local food are often not as easily recognized. Some of the fondest memories my children and I have are growing and harvesting our garden. I will never
forget the pride I saw as they held up a bunch of carrots or the excitement –– equal to finding treasure –– when they dug up potatoes. In addition, our First Nations traditional local foods are steeped in custom and culture. Finally, the longer fruit and vegetables can be kept in the field and then picked at their peak, the better the nutritional content. Fresh fruits and vegetables at their peak taste better too. You can’t beat juicy, warm tomatoes off the vine or a fresh pod of raw peas. So enjoy and support local food whether you grow it yourself, buy it locally, or ask for local food be included at your favourite restaurant. Rose Soneff is a community nutritionist with Interior Health.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder FOUR ARE NEEDED; HOW TO GET THEM? Gracie Allen said, “Smartness runs in my family. When I went to school, I was so smart my teacher was in my class for five years.” In this deal, South is in three no-trump. Five tricks are needed to beat that contract -- but which five? If you know a member of Gracie Allen’s family, ask her or him, because it is tough. West leads the heart nine. South wins that trick and plays a diamond. How should West continue? North, after using Stayman and finding out that his side did not have a 4-4 spade fit, might have rebid three no-trump. But that could have been silly
if South were weak in hearts. His three-diamond rebid showed a four-card major, five-plus diamonds and game-forcing values. The first important defensive play occurs immediately. When West leads a top-of-nothing heart nine, East knows South has the ace, king and jack. So East should play his two, not the queen, which he should do only with the queen and king. Then, when West is in with the diamond ace, he should realize that his side needs to take four club tricks now. But how? This is a very tough play to find at the table without a warning bell ringing. West must hope that East has king-third.
The right play is to cash the ace, under which East will signal encouragement with his higher spotcard. West then leads his club two, East wins with his king and returns his remaining club, here giving West two more tricks with his jack-nine over South’s 10-seven.

*OURNEY OF RESILIENCE CONTINUES WITH BOOK Survivor of Sudanese civil war shares her story with her Vernon community CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Sarah Gabriel was a happy child. She grew up in a large extended family of 10 children with everything she wanted, including a pet monkey, in South Sudan. The civil unrest in the country meant nothing to an eight year old until one day when everything changed forever. “May 16, 1983, in the morning, I heard what I thought was thunder. I liked the rain because we children liked to play in the mud,� said Gabriel. When she went to breakfast, her mother told the family that the country was in civil war. Gabriel didn’t know what that meant but she knew it must be bad because her mother was nervous and crying. Before the day was out, the family was fleeing with what they could carry away from the “thunder,� guns of the fighting forces. The next day, they arrived at her mother’s Dinka village where life was very different from the comfortable town. They lived for two years in the village huts, not going to school as the children there had to work with the cattle and get water. When another tribe started to steal cattle and children, her mother decided to take the family to their father’s village. “Through all that, we thought we would get to go home again, but we never did get to go home again,� said Gabriel. “We were in a jungle area there with many animals and once a python almost ate me.� Her father was an official in the Sudanese People Liberation Movement, the political arm of the Sudanese People Liberation Army, the rebels fighting for more freedom in the country. The rebels had relations with Cuba and her father was sent to a diplomatic post in Cuba. Gabriel’s uncle sent soldiers to take the family, running on foot most of the way, to a refugee camp in Ethiopia where they could get UN help. “We found dead people along the way, we were shot at. We were terrified. It was going to be my 10th birthday on April 27 and my mother promised me we would celebrate it in Ethiopia. As we were talking about it, a bullet passed between our faces and killed a cow nearby,� Gabriel paused, remembering the horror. Gabriel has written it all in her recently
CARA BRADY/MORNING STAR
Sarah Gabriel, who now calls Vernon home, is reading from her new book, My Resilience, at the Vernon branch of the Okanagan Public Library, Aug. 29 from 7:30 to 9 p.m. published book, My Resilience: A Dinka Girl’s True Story of Civil War in Sudan. The book includes chapters on growing up in Cuba and immigrating to Canada. With their mother’s encouragement and love, the family survived life in the camp and attended English classes. Then the children were sent to a rebel training camp where there was a chance for them to be sent to Cuba for further education. They lived in residences together, taking care of themselves, cooking what little was given to them and going to school with Cuban teachers who taught them Spanish. One group of children escaped and was murdered outside the camp. Rescue came when Gabriel’s father had the family, including their mother, taken away to a home where they would wait to go to Cuba. “It was a mansion where the important people in the government stayed before. Suddenly I have a big room, hot water to bath, nice, clean clothes, and a maid to cook for us. When I turned 11 in 1986, my
mother gave me the party she promised. My father sent a gift from Cuba, a dress with a tie in the back,� she said. “The Cuban people I knew were happy and singing and dancing salsa and I thought that going to Cuba was not going to be bad at all.� She flew to Cuba with some other children to meet her parents and other family members who had gone on ahead. The family reunion was short lived. Her parents decided that she and her siblings would go to a Cuban school for South Sudanese children where they thought they would be safe. “They didn’t want us to lose our culture and forget that we were Sudanese. We had Sudanese teachers and Arabic classes. The country was beautiful and peaceful. What we didn’t like was we had to work in the grapefruit orchards around the school, but it was good. Fidel (Castro) did good for youth,� said Gabriel. At that time, Cuba had schools for young people from around the world, educating
them to go back to their own countries as communists. Students from different Sudanese tribes mingled, as they would never have done at home, and because they were too young to know they should not like each other, they became friends and learned each other’s languages, many staying in contact for years as adults. “When communism fell in Europe in 1991, Cuba was cut off and things changed. There was little to eat. Some countries could provide for their students but Sudan couldn’t. Fidel decided to keep the children. He said, ‘We will share with our African brothers.’� Gabriel spent 12 years in Cuba, seeing her parents, who later returned to Sudan, only a few times. She caught up on missed schooling and started university, studying accounting. Some students went back to their countries but many of those who went back to Sudan were killed in the on-going fighting. Gabriel did not know what had happened to her parents and family. In 1998, the UN asked Canada to accept some of the Sudanese from Cuba as refugees. “I decided to come to Canada to see if could search for my family in Africa,� she said. Her introduction to Canada was cold in Toronto with no winter clothes, and colder in Ottawa, but at least she had been given winter clothes by then. After a month of English classes, she was on her own to find work and moved to Alberta where she worked as a meat cutter and trained to be a food inspector. She moved to Vernon in 2004 and accepted a job with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, where she still works. “I find the people in Vernon very friendly and interested. They told me I should write a book. I thought that because each time I tell my story, I cry, maybe if I tell my story, I will get free from all that is hurting me inside. And maybe if I tell my story, it will change somebody’s life. I wrote it like I would tell it to anyone and people tell me it is easy to read and even has some humour in it,� she said. “I had help from a lot of people. Frank and Pam Hilliard helped me with the editing.� Gabriel is currently writing a second book about what happened when she found her parents, how she was able to help them, and her visit back to Sudan. “I have kept my values my parents taught me. I have my life and friends here,� she said. Gabriel will be reading excerpts from My Resilience Aug. 29 from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at the Vernon branch of the Okanagan Public Library. For more information call Vernon and District Immigrant Services at 250-5424177. My Resilience is available by contacting Gabriel at sarahachuoth@yahoo.com. Summer Special

Supporting Families Hereditary Hemochromatosis (HHC) is the most common genetic disorder affecting Canadians. It is a crippling, potentially fatal condition caused by a defect of iron metabolism that leads to iron overload in vital organs, joints and tissues. The complications caused by the disorder are preventable if a diagnosis is made before the excess iron causes irreversible damage, and effective treatment exists.

Efforts continue to support Hayley Downtown Internet Lounge holds a raffle to raise funds for local woman in need of surgery Morning Star Staff
The Downtown Internet Lounge celebrates its first birthday Sept. 25 by donating all the proceeds from the day to help Hayley McDougall have brain surgery in the United States, and to the Vernon Boys and Girls Club. The goal is to surpass last year’s opening weekend donation of $1,000 to Teen Junction Youth Centre. There will also be a raffle with
prizes from Dumas, Bushwacker Paintball, The Towne Theatre, Fulcrum Skate and Snow, Mahoroba, Howard Johnson Enderby, Lakecity Bowl, Future Shop, the Rice Box, Square 1, Denny’s and Eric and Myrika Godard. “We’ve had a great deal of support from other businesses in the community, with all sorts of great raffle prizes being donated,” said Shane Elgeard, one of the owners of the Internet Lounge. Raffle tickets will be available for purchase from Monday, Aug. 20 to Aug. 26 with the top prize being some autographed NHL memorabilia from NHL enforcer and local Vernonite, Eric Godard. The business is hoping for one of its busiest days ever on its one-year anniversary, Sept. 25.
All proceeds raised on that day will also go to both McDougall and the Boys and Girls Club. “We’re really hoping for a packed house all day,” said John Oh, co-owner, while the other co-owner, Josh Brazier, added, “We hope to continue with some sort of fundraiser every year on our birthday as our way of giving back and thanking the community for all their support.” Raffle tickets are available as of Monday at the Downtown Internet Lounge, located on 30th Avenue next to the Towne Theatre. For more information about McDougall, a young wife and mother who has had constant, severe, unexplained headaches for the last 10 years, and to donate online, see www.giveforward.com/hopeforhayley.

Goodbye to an Okanagan ‘original’ Coldstream’s Joan Heriot has left behind a rich legacy through her paintings and her love of nature CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Joan Heriot will be remembered for as long as people love her paintings of the Okanagan. “I know I am not alone in my grief and in missing her and her friendship, humour and kindness. So many people appreciated and admired her,” said longtime friend Sharon Lawrence, of Heriot, who died July 29 at the age of 101. “She never stopped questing for knowledge and sharing knowledge and it was my honour and privilege to know her.” Heriot was born in what was then the new hospital in Vernon Jan 7, 1911 to Allan and Jessie Heriot and grew up in Coldstream. “The family lived near the creek and her aunt had a house on Kalamalka Lake, so Coldstream was her playground. She was always outside,” said Lawrence. Her father was an entomological researcher and did drawings to go with his work and Heriot was fascinated, declaring her intention to be an entomologist when she was six-years-old. She attended St. Michael’s Girls School in Vernon and went on to get her degree from UBC. She was told that a woman would never get a job in science in Canada and that she would have to go to England. So she worked in the orchards and saved for two years for her fare. By 1936, she had a master’s degree from the University of Liverpool, a teaching diploma and a job teaching at Brighton Technical College, where she stayed for 30 years. She came back to Canada in 1966, via New Zealand, where she met relatives, then settled in Coldstream. She became a member of the North Okanagan Naturalists Club, where she was happy to share her knowledge of the natural life of the area. “Her interest in science never left her. She showed people, especially children, how

Artist Joan Heriot (top) used a magnifier in her later years to help her paint her landscapes of the Okanagan, above. Heriot (right) as a young zoologist in England, circa 1940s. to look at a pond in a whole new light. My children and so many others got interested in science because of her and some went on to make careers of it. She was a good mentor, very patient,” said Lawrence. Heriot used her skill in drawing for illustrations of her work in science and when she retired, she decided to try painting. She renewed her friendship with school friend Sveva Caetani and took lessons from her former art teacher, Jesse Topham Brown. Oils and watercolours didn’t work out, but she found her passion in pastels. “She decided that someone should paint the Okanagan and that she would be the one to do it,” said Lawrence. “She did mostly landscapes. She loved painting and she loved to sell her paintings for low prices so that others could enjoy them. She was very generous with donating work to support the Vernon Public Art Gallery through the
Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts.” Her work was so much in demand that she had a long waiting list. Heriot’s list gave people the right of first refusal on her next painting and some people waited up to 10 years to get a painting. Heriot was honoured with an Arts Council of the Central Okanagan special tribute award in 2010. There was a retrospective of some of her more than 250 paintings at the Vernon Public Art Galley in 2007. Heriot was also an accomplished needle work artist and her altar hanging of the arrow-leafed balsam root (wild sunflower) is used at All Saints Anglican Church. “Joan always wanted to learn and try new
things. She went whitewater rafting after she had had both hips replaced when she was in her 70s,” said Lawrence, who became closer to Heriot when she started to help her get ready for bed each evening while she still lived in her own home. When Heriot moved to Polson Extended Care, Lawrence visited almost every day and they formed an even deeper and more meaningful friendship. “I am so privileged to have known Joan. She would challenge me and all who visited her, saying, ‘What do you have for me today, dear?’ She cared very much about all her friends and remembered the details of their lives and families. She kept in touch with her goddaughters, who are now in their 80s,” said Lawrence. “I would read to her from biology, geology and archeology magazines. If I was reading something she found really interesting, she would lean in closer so she wouldn’t miss anything. Sometimes, the next visit, she would say, ‘You know, I’ve been thinking about... (whatever was read the last time).’ She had a wonderful memory and would fill in the details of the articles if she thought there was something that should be added. When I would leave, she would say, ‘Goodbye, dear girl.’” Heriot also loved poetry and for years kept a commonplace book where she wrote things that interested her, including poetry in perfect, clear handwriting. “She had a quote for every occasion and could recite long poems. She loved life and embraced people. When she was living in care, she would arrive at the dining table in her wheelchair and put out her hands to others and say hello,” said Lawrence. “Even in her later years and things were more difficult and restricted for her, she was never a complainer. She always made the best of everything. I was inspired by her. I was so lucky. Goodbye, dear girl.” The Joan Heriot Centre for Environmental Studies at Mackie Lake House provides education on the natural world while the Joan Heriot Studio at Caetani Centre, Sveva Caetani’s former home, is available to artists. The funeral service for Joan Ethewyn Heriot will be held Friday at 2 p.m. at All Saints Anglican Church in Vernon.
Musician makes footprints to Vernon performance Morning Star Staff
Fresh from the U.K. leg of his Footprints Tour to raise money for Footprints Orphanage in Kenya, singer-songwriter Chris Ronald is in the Okanagan this week to play a number of intimate shows. Ronald brings his vocal and lyrical talent to Vernon’s Crush Bistro Thursday. Born in England, Ronald now lives in Vancouver with his wife and three young children. His latest CD, Turning Tides, was released last year to rave reviews from music press such as The Georgia Straight, who picked up on Ronald’s “obvious talent, great songs, and glorious voice,” and likened him to artists such as Jackson Browne and Kenny Rankin. Roots Music Report praised his “warm tenor voice, beautiful melodies, and lyrical charm.”
Tracks from the album have also been aired nationwide on CBC Radio. Many songs both on and off the Turning Tides album are inspired by Ronald’s experiences in, and the beauty of his now home province. He says his audiences enjoy hearing the stories behind the songs during his live shows. Since the album’s release and the many shows that have followed, Ronald’s music career has taken off to the extent that he’s now in the process of transitioning from his day job as an elementary school teacher to pursuing music full-time. Ronald’s tour through the B.C. Interior, which includes Crush Bistro, located on 30th Avenue, is by donation. The performance starts Thursday at 6 p.m. Call 250-549-4438 to make a reservation. Visit www. chrisronald.com for more info. on the artist.

Arts Fall starts with a bang
S
ummer sunshine and beautiful lakes, we’ve got it good here in the Okanagan Valley. While July and August are great months to spend some serious face time with Mother Nature, here at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, the months have been all about getting ready for the fall season. It’s exciting to look ahead at what’s to come, and the Performing Arts Centre Society has a big season of theatre, dance, kids and special Brian van Wensem presentations all lined up. The special presentations are already on sale and include some great music acts including season opener Woody Holler and His Orchestra on Oct. 6, and Canadian singer/songwriter David Myles on Nov. 15. For the society’s theatre, dance and kids’ series, there is still a week left to buy subscriptions and get first-choice seating before single tickets go on sale Aug. 27. The society’s 2012/13 theatre series starts up Oct. 13 with Axis Theatre’s performance of the beloved The Number 14 as part of their farewell tour. Then on Oct. 27, a colossal cast and crew will be here for Titanic – the Musical from Windwood Theatricals, New York. Music lovers and theatre-goers alike will be delighted by Unforgettable: the Music of Nat King Cole on Nov. 17. The theatre series also includes This is Cancer, and the Governor General of Canada award-winning Where the Blood Mixes in the spring. The upcoming dance series is always the topic of much excitement here at the centre – and 2012/13 will be no exception. Things get kicked off with the Vancouver Tap Ensemble Oct. 20. Audience favourite Les Ballet Jazz de Montreal takes the stage on
Nov. 20 with a full company of 12 dancers. In the new year we are utterly privileged to have Ballet Jörgen Canada’s full company, full-length production of one of the most beloved classical ballets of all time, Swan Lake. Rounding out the series, Ballet Kelowna performs three separate works in Double Variations followed by Out Innerspace’s Vessel. Families will love the society’s 2012/13 kids series. It all starts up Nov. 4 when Story Theatre takes the stage for their production of Aladdin. The holiday spirit will be all around when Monster Theatre (Mini Masterpieces) performs A Christmas Carol on Dec. 9. For the spring shows, dance and visual arts blend together in a very unique performance of The Studio by Montreal-based Bouge de La and the final show in this four-part series is Juno Award winning musician and entertainer Norman Foote with his witty and imaginative antics. As you can tell, we’ve got plenty of great events to look forward to after the blazing sun makes way for autumn colours. To see us through, be sure to check out some of the great events happening through these remaining weeks of summer. Don’t miss your chance to see Caravan Farm Theatre’s The Notorious Right Robert and his Robber Bride. This outstanding production, cool old cars and all, is playing through Aug. 26 with a showtime of 7:30 p.m. most nights. Tickets are still available through the Ticket Seller by calling 549-SHOW (7469). Full Frontal Improv Comedy is back at The Hub Arts Collective this Wednesday.

hen a recording of two senior members of a top secret CIA spy program is released on YouTube, their conversation creates a risk of unintended disclosure that becomes too great. The powers that be decide to shut the program down. For the secret agents involved, this also means removing them from the field, permanently. However, a few Taylor & Howe of these genetically altered agents are simply too good at their jobs to be caught. One of the missing agents is Jason Bourne. The other belongs to a newer and more improved group. He is simply known as Number Five (Jeremy Renner). We say, “It’s worth a watch.” TAYLOR: I’ve only seen the very first Bourne film, and although I enjoyed it, I think I enjoyed this one more. It’s not so much that Jeremy Renner is a better actor than Matt Damon, although I suspect he is, it’s just that this film was well executed, non-linear, and gave the audience a bit of a mystery to solve for themselves along the way. HOWE: What are you talking about? All three Bourne movies are fantastic and this is no different. I loved it. I was a little skeptical about Renner being the leading man, as the movies he’s been in he has always had a supporting role. We had nothing to fear as he was brilliant. TAYLOR: Renner was very good. I’m excited to see him in other things. He can beat a guy up, yet still do more subtle things: look confused, act hurt, etc. I think

Jeremy Renner stars as Aaron Cross, also known as Number Five, in The Bourne Legacy. we might have witnessed the birth of a new leading man. He’s a weird looking man, though, sort of like Daniel Craig. You think he’s very handsome, until you start really looking at him: strange nose, damaged skin. I think he’ll never be the pretty boy type but continue along a more realistic vein. HOWE: Even though this is in the Bourne series, it’s not a sequel. It runs in tandem with The Bourne Ultimatum, which is a clever idea. I wonder if they make another one, somewhere down the line, will they join the rogue agents together? It could be a lethal team, and a lot of fun. TAYLOR: They sure dropped enough hints along the way. If the two of them joined forces it would make for a high degree of comeuppance, and most likely an excellent action/spy movie. But we’re
of Britain’s National Theatre Live will open with The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Sept. 6, based on Mark Haddon’s beloved and award winning novel. Adapted for the stage by Simon Stephens, Marianne Elliott (War Horse) directs this richly theatrical exploration of Haddon’s touching and bleakly humorous story. The cast includes Niamh Cusack, Nick Sidi, Una Stubbs, Luke Treadaway, and Nicola
Walker. On Oct. 11, Stephen Beresford’s new play, The Last of the Haussmans, directed by Howard Davies, examines the fate of the 1960s revolutionary generation and offers a funny, touching and at times savage portrait of a family full of longing that’s losing its grip. The cast includes
jumping the gun by making a wish list. Let’s talk about what we didn’t like about the movie. I bet it’s the same things. Overall, I loved the film, but as it progressed, my score for it continuously dropped. Within the first 60 minutes I was loving it, I thought it might get a four, at least a three and a half, but even that didn’t last. HOWE: I know what you mean: too long of a chase scene at the conclusion and an ending we have already seen before in the Bourne series. But I still loved it. –– Howe gives The Bourne Legacy 4 green pills out of 5. –– Taylor gives it 3 altered genomes out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.
Rory Kinnear, Matthew Marsh, Helen McCrory and Julie Walters. Nov. 1, Simon Russell Beale takes the title role in Timon of Athens, Shakespeare’s strange fable of conspicuous consumption, debt and ruin, written in collaboration with Thomas Middleton, directed by Nicholas Hytner.

They come bouncing out of the Lethbridge Lodge Hotel, looking like any group of young adults. Backpacks slung over shoulders, earbuds firmly in place, many carrying Kindles or paperback books. They board the large bus waiting at the back of the hotel for them and look like any group heading out for a day at the beach or doing some touring. Not this group, though. They’re Cirque du Soleil performers headed to the city’s Enmax Centre for hours of training before the evening show. And, it’s while they work backstage that these young men and women, some of them still in their late teens, transform. Even without the makeup, the wigs and the colourful costumes, wearing just warm-up and exercise clothes, they become something else as they run through their parts of Quidam, the next Cirque show headed to Kelowna. Their bodies move in ways most of us would never attempt. They think nothing of soaring dozens of feet above the concrete floor of the facility, trusting their co-performers to catch them after they spiral and somersault and flip. Fifteen semi-trailers rolled into Lethbridge for the seven shows, accompanied by 52 performers representing 23 countries, 22 full-time technicians and the other specialists who ensure the twohour show being taken through Western Canada goes off nightly without a hitch. The cast gets Mondays and Tuesdays off, then starts in with training on Wednesdays, opening days in each location the troupe is visiting. They’ll go through their segments, do some exercising, stretching, head for the massage therapist, maybe take in a mixedmartial arts class Canadian performer JP Viens leads once a week. Later in the afternoon, before dinner and the 6 p.m. pre-show cast meeting, they’ll start to put on their makeup, get their costumes ready and relax before the

Quidam — the name comes from Latin and means somebody; one unknown — draws its inspirations from “New York on a rainy day,” said public-relations spokesperson Jessica Leboeuf.

There are hundreds of thousands of “apps”, programs for smart phones and electronic tablets. There is even one available for gambling addicts. Gambling addiction is a mental health problem and only 10% of those with a gambling problem seek help. The app is called Mobile Monitor Your Gambling and Urges (MYGU) and is downloadable for free from iTunes. The drug ecstasy is an illegal recreational drug used by some young people. Even one or two doses of this drug can result in long-term sleep problems. Over70% of users report having disturbed sleep because the drug, being a stimulant, resets the body’s clock which often resets at the wrong time. Mood disorders can also occur. Many of the drugs we use today originated from nature. It’s always interesting when a common product like thyme, formulated into a tincture, is found to have antibacterial effects that may make it useful in treating acne. It’s far from being available on our shelves for that purpose but it does show promise. Antibiotics have saved millions of lives since the discovery of penicillin in the 1940s. In 1900, the three main causes of death were tuberculosis, pneumonia and enteritis (intestinal infections). Antibiotics have reduced the threat of these medical problems immensely. When you receive an antibiotic prescription, our pharmacists will ensure you know how to make it works best for you. We help you understand how it works for you.

East Hill Inn houses artistic touch Morning Star Staff
Usually, guests aren’t allowed in the laundry room of an inn. But The East Hill Inn isn’t like other accommodations, and artist Kevin Spetifore isn’t like other innkeepers. At his three-story guesthouse near the edge of downtown Vernon, Spetifore gladly escorts visitors to the Laundry Gallery. There, designer sheets tumble dry and Spetifore’s hypnotizing collages hang. It’s just one of many signs you’re not in the Holiday Inn, but the East Hill Inn. “I find this house so inspiring and peaceful. I wanted to share it with others,” said Spetifore, who converted his 1929 heritage home into a four-bed longand short-stay guesthouse so he could offer people an ‘un-hotel’ experience: hardwood floors, Chinese antiques, walk-in closets, Nina Campbell curtains, and hot, organic coffee. All that in addition to walls strung with dozens of works by Spetifore, a studied Kevin Spetifore artist known as ‘the colourist,’ and others. Becoming an entrepreneur in addition to an artist hasn’t been easy, said Spetifore, whose signature collages of coloured paper bands were recently featured in a solo show at Headbones Gallery, The Drawers. “It’s kind of like preparing for an exhibition,” he said. “The to-do list never seems to end.” But Spetifore has enjoyed the preparations, from choosing linens and baking cookies to setting up a Facebook page and signing up for credit cards. “I’m learning a lot about how to run a business, and this is a project I really believe in. The East Hill Inn is unique, and I think people are going to love it.”

Tax tips for small business
A
s an owner-manager of an incorporated business, you have several opportunities to minimize taxes. Following are just a few of the strategies that can potentially reduce your tax bill if you own an incorporated active private Canadian business. Minimize taxes with your family – Employ lower-income family members and pay them a salary that is reasonable based on the services they are performing. The income received by the family member will be taxed at a lower rate. Pay dividends from corporate earnings to spouses and adult chilKirbey Lockhart dren shareholders – Canadian dividends are taxed lower than salary income (however they will not create RSP contribution room or CPP/QPP pensionable earnings). Dividends paid out to benefit related minor children are taxed at the highest marginal tax rate under the “kiddie tax” rules. Loan corporate funds to adult children for education costs – The loan is considered taxable income to the adult
GUEST COLUMN
child, however the tax payable on this income may be very low or even nil due to the child’s basic, tuition and education tax credits. When the adult child repays the loan to the corporation in a future year when the adult child is earning income, the adult child will receive a personal tax deduction. Consider an estate freeze so that the capital gain on the future growth of your business is deferred and attributed to the next generation, but control of the business remains with you. This may also allow for use of the capital gains exemption by other family members. Reduce taxes while planning for retirement – Set up a retirement compensation arrangement (RCA) or individual pension plan (IPP) to increase your retirement savings, while lowering your corporation’s tax burden. Use corporate funds to make contributions to your Retirement Savings Plan (RSP) – The cash used to make the RSP contribution will be considered employment income (reported on the T4 and thus will create future RSP contribution room), but the offsetting RSP deduction will avoid taxation on the increased salary. Payroll deductions may be required on the amounts used to make the RSP contribution. These amounts may result in a lower tax owing, or a larger

refund when a personal tax return is filed. Use insurance to shelter taxes – Corporate-owned life insurance can help fund buy-sell agreements, tax liabilities, and key person insurance, as well as shelter tax on surplus investment income. Pay bonuses to get into a lower tax rate – If possible, pay bonuses to employees to reduce the company’s taxable income to $500,000 since the first $500,000 ($400,000 in Manitoba and Nova Scotia) of small business active income (2011 value) is taxed at low tax rates (11-19 per cent, depending on the province). Consider deferring employee bonuses up to 179 days after corporate year-end – The company will get a tax deduction in the current corporate tax year but does not have to pay the bonus in the current year. The employee will declare the bonus in the year of receipt, which in certain cases may lower the tax liability for the employee on the bonus (withholding tax will continue to apply on the bonus).

Training opportunities
W
ell it’s that time of year again – parents are counting down the days until school starts while their children are counting how many days of summer vacation are left. Here at the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce, we are also counting down the days. We are eagerly awaiting the official launch of an new education program for our members in partnership with the provincial government and B.C. Chamber of Commerce. A Labour Market Agreement program funded through the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation, the micro business training pilot project involves a large number of organizations that have been working hard behind the scenes to develop a proPatti Noonan gram that will be of benefit to micro-businesses. Delivered by the B.C. chamber, this new program is similar to the youth skills and workplace training and innovation programs that are currently available. Unlike those programs that are intended for training staff, the micro business training pilot program is focused on providing training to business owners. Under this program, eligible business owners can receive up to $1,500 for general business training. A large range of training is included in the program, but must be of a general nature rather than industry specific (for example, marketing versus flag person training). Business management, marketing and sales, bookkeeping and computing are just some of the business training options available to help our microbusinesses thrive and succeed. A variety of learning formats will be eligible, such as online, webinar, on-site and traditional classroom, which will allow for training to fit into the hectic schedule of our micro-business owners. Providers will include public and private post-secondary institutions, PCTIA (Private Career Training Institutions Agency) accredited organizations and private trainers who belong to the Chamber Learning Network. Who is eligible for this program? A microbusiness owner is someone who has fewer than five employees. The business owner and their company must: Not hold any recognized certification or university credits; be a B.C. resident who is entitled to work in Canada; cannot be a full-time post-secondary or a high-school student; be 19 years of age or older; not have participated in another Labour Market Agreement program. How can you take advantage of this new program to benefit your micro-business? Contact

your local chamber of commerce, or visit the program website at www.BCMicroBusiness.com (anticipated launch date is Aug. 31). Once you have submitted your application, approved participants will be contacted with information on going forward. Participants will be contacted by a ReThink Learning training coordinator to review training options to decide on a path that will benefit the business owner the most. Once training is finished, micro-business owners will be required to complete a short exit survey. The overall goal of the program is to meet the varied and often unique educational needs of micro-business owners, both in our community and across B.C., no matter what industry or region. With training funded specifically for business owners who have knowledge gaps in certain areas, the B.C. chamber and local chambers hope to contribute to increased productivity, competitiveness and success of the business community. Through this program, our chamber of commerce has the opportunity to assist our businesses, and in turn, the local economy, through improved education and knowledge of our business owners. Are you counting down the days until you can go back to school? Contact the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce by e-mailing manager@aschamber.com, or your local chamber of commerce to learn more about the Micro-business Training program.

Daughters of the Nile is an International fraternal organization for women 18 years of age or older, who are related to Master Masons, Shriner’s and Daughters of the Nile. There are 142 temples across North America and 11 temples across Canada. To date we have given to the Shriner’s hospital for children over 50 million dollars towards the care for burn injuries, orthopedic conditions, spinal cord injuries and cleft lip and palate conditions and rehabilitation of children. In Canada we have given to the Shriner’s hospital in Montréal over 3 million dollars to date. Zarah temple in Vancouver has over 624 members to date and is rated #2 out of the 142 temples across North America. We have clubs in Penticton, Kelowna, Vernon, Kamloops, Cranbrook, Fort Nelson, Dawson Creek and Terrace/Kitimat, and in Abbotsford and the lower mainland. We make lap robes for the children that travel on the Shrine buses to the hospitals in Portland and Spokane. Last year we were able to donate to the Shriner’s over 360 lap robes for the children. Our goal as Daughters of the Nile is to promote friendship, character building among women, social interaction and service to others. These ideals have led to our work for the special children in the Shriner’s hospitals. To become a member of Daughters of the Nile, you must have a Masonic affiliation through, Master Masons, Shriner’s or Daughters of the Nile. If you are interested please call Darlene Taylor at 250-308-8665 Vernon or Eileen Ward in the South Okanagan 250-493-3186.

proximity to the gleaming red and white buildings of the province’s oldest Coast Guard station. A boardwalk twists along the inlet with cottages sprouting docks perching alongside. The proprietor of the tiny general store is hanging out a sign: “Closed for freight receiving.” Our binoculars have never been far from our eyes during this three-hour voyage down wilderness-fringed Alberni Inlet from Port Alberni to Barkley Sound. We’ve spotted eagles, inched by rainbows, and chugged in and out of rainstorms and occasional splatters of sun. The passenger freighter’s crew of five is casual and friendly, and the captain, John Adams, has pointed out interesting spots along the way. Kildonan, for example, was a thriving cannery village of 500 in 1914, but now is home to only a few summer cottagers and fewer still full timers. In the summer, the Frances Barkley also stops at the old Sechart whaling station, now a lodge catering to kayakers. This Norwegian built ship, which can carry 200 passengers and 100 tons of cargo, docks wherever it’s needed: at fish farms, small settlements like Kildonan, and even float homes. Don Kapalka from the Imperial Eagle Lodge meets us in his cherry red ATV and we jolt along the steep and rocky track. The Kapalkas bought the property in October 2010, adding kitchenettes to their five cottages, improving their one-acre garden and enlarging the dock to accommodate guests arriving by boat. This is starting to remind me of the Long Beach I used to know 35 years ago, with its rough dirt road snaking from Port Alberni through to the Pacific Rim, and that feeling of being at the very edge of the world, before the area got “tamed.” Bamfield, after all, is very close to Long Beach’s southern extremity at Ucluelet, as crows fly and boats bounce.

A visitor takes a break while wandering the boardwalk on West Bamfield. It’s also the northern terminus of the West Coast Trail. We arrive at the lodge, and – eager to explore – stow our luggage in our immaculate accommodation, soon slogging along the rocky track in search of Brady’s Beach, a scenic and popular public beach and cove. Twenty minutes later, we emerge unto an expansive beach, with tidal pools to explore and huge stacks to clamber on, while monster rollers toss up spray, and mallards play hide and seek. We wander until we’re beachcombed out and ready to explore Bamfield’s more developed side. East and West Bamfield are split by the inlet, connected only by boat. With twice the population and most of the amenities, East Bamfield is home to the well-known Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre, dedicated to education and research. Here is also where the pub hangs out, along with a motel, restaurant, marine shop, and much of the population of 250. It’s not always easy to find a skipper to ferry you across the inlet, but because we’re at the Imperial Eagle, we’re in luck. Don operates several boats and water taxi operator is one of the many hats he wears, along with fishing guide and proprietor.
We wind up the day with a provisioning trip to the tiny general store and head “home” to cook dinner in our snug cottage. The next day we’re meeting Sheryl and John Mass, operators of Broken Islands Adventure Tours. The day dawns brightly and we head into Barkley Sound aboard their 27-foot vessel to explore the Broken Islands and to look for bears, whales and sea lions. Our three-hour tour stretches into four as we linger to watch two humpback whales feeding, to snap photos of sea lions, and to study two beachcombing black bears. We even have time to snugly circumnavigate a few of the 100-plus uninhabited islands that make up that kayaker’s nirvana, the Broken Island Group. The traditional territory of the Nuu-chahnulth people for thousands of years, these deserted islands shelter many important archaeological sites and middens, some off limits. The next day we re-board the Frances Barkley, on a sunny May return that stretches like spandex. Experiencing life on the coast the way it was once lived, we mind not a bit that the return trip is two hours longer. Cherie Thiessen is with Travel Writers’ Tales, a travel article syndicate.

Lost & Found
Rob truly LIVED unƟl he died. He was a man’s man, a ladies’ man and a man for all occasions. Rob propelled himself through his 42 years on a throƩle that had only two seƫngs: STOP (to sleep) and WIDE OPEN. Rob was born two months early, in Prince George on January 22nd, 1970 to Gary and Victoria Moore. He grew up in Prince George, Kamloops, Ashton Creek, Vernon and Armstrong and aƩended PVSS. Rob and his father, Gary, began the family business, Moore’s Well & Pump Service in Vernon, many years ago. Father and son spent years as business partners, unƟl Gary reƟred and Rob moved north. Rob was a dedicated, devoted father and family man and a loyal friend. He savored the joys of his life which included his children, music, motorized vehicles, friends, food and copious laughter. He had a serious side, and a temper which would Ňare if he felt that he or any of his loved ones were being poorly treated. On those rare occasions when his brow would furrow and his words would come out in leaden tones from deep inside his barrel chest, one knew that he was not a man to be crossed.
But the Rob Moore most people saw and loved was the guy who loved people. He was deeply aīecƟonate, championed those less fortunate than he, generous with his smiles and hugs, could tell jokes and listen aƩenƟvely to another’s and then shake out a long, hearty laugh. He was on everybody’s party invitaƟon A-list. Rob was an innovator, and could make something out of nothing. He was a forward-thinker and truly adapƟve, with a head for business and an ethic of hard work. While Rob lived at his family home, he took charge of tormenƟng cats, his brother, his parents and various other relaƟves. SomeƟmes his sense of humour outlasted his parents’ paƟence, and quite oŌen he felt everyone was far too serious. Rob was a gentleman, an old soul, generous to a fault and had a heart that knew no bounds. He loved animals and always had a special place carved in his heart for the many pets he rescued, raised and nurtured. He was a man who knew how to pack life into the hours and days, and he believed in celebraƟng every important event in a grand fashion, rife with food, drink, music, stories and laughter. Rob loved to entertain, and had an innate way of making every person in his presence feel like an exclusive guest of honor. Rob is survived by his three beloved children, Koral and Chase Moore, and stepson, Logan Hicks, his wife, Crystal Cullum-Moore, his parents, Gary and Victoria Moore, his brother, Paul Douglas Moore, his nephew Grandmothers. and his former wife, Tamara Glinsbockel. JusƟn and his Grandmothers,
Rob will become a spirit grandfather to his Įrst grandchild, expected in 2013. A CelebraƟon of Life will be held at 1:00 pm on Sunday, August 19th at Hullcar Community Hall, Armstrong, where friends and family may gather to commemorate Rob’s life in song, story and tribute.
Arrangements entrusted to FISCHER’S FUNERAL SERVICES & CREMATORIUM LTD., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129. EMAIL condolences and share memories through Rob’s obituary at www.Įschersfuneralservices.com.

MICHAEL SYROWICKY June 14, 1926 – August 14, 2012
Michael Syrowicky passed away peacefully in Vernon Jubilee Hospital, at the age of 86 years. Michael was born in a small town in Western Ukraine. He left Ukraine in 1945 and Àed to Slovakia, where he lived for one year. He could not continue to live there because Czechoslovakian authorities were persecuting Ukrainians at that time; some Ukrainian refugees were forcefully handed over to the Soviet Union and Poland. With dif¿culty, Michael managed to get to Austria in 1946, where he resided until 1950. In June 1950, Michael landed in Halifax; sixty¿ve of the new arrivals went to Kapuskasing, Ontario, where they worked in the bush for one year on a contract, in the employ of an American ¿rm, Spruce Falls. This ¿rm had signed an af¿davit that permitted the immigrants to come to Canada, and it paid for their transportation to Northern Ontario. After completing this contract work, Michael went to Toronto and later relocated to Brantford. Eventually, he moved to western Canada, and in 1978 he settled down in the Okanagan Valley. Prayers will be recited in St. Mary’s Ukrainian Orthodox Church, 4100 – 27 Street, Vernon, on Monday, August 20, at 7:00 P. M.. Funeral Services will be held there on Tuesday, August 21, at 10:00 A. M., with the Very Reverend Archpriest Isadore Woronchak and Deacon Paul Malysh of¿ciating. Interment will follow in Pleasant Valley Cemetery. Arrangements are in the care of Vernon Funeral Home 250-5420155.

ELEANOR HELEN REIMER Sept. 30 1925 – Aug. 13, 2012 With heavy hearts, the family of Eleanor Reimer wishes to announce her passing on Aug. 13 at age 84 years after a short battle with lung cancer. She is predeceased by her husband, Jake, sisters Irene Ricketts and Lorna Jarvis and brother Stuart Woodcock. She is survived by her children, Stewart Reimer, Elaine Reimer, Rob Reimer, Jackie Goodwin and Geri Reimer and grandchildren Jebb Goodwin, Dustin Goodwin and Antonia Vandenbrink. Over the years, in addition to being a farmers’ wife and mother, she kept herself even busier with many of her own interests. These included bird watching, curling, sewing, weaving, gardening, and later in life, she became an avid T.V. sports fan. She loved having company and was always happy to welcome visitors with a smile, a cup of coffee and a good chat. The family wishes to thank Dr. Ken Perrier for his compassionate care over the past number of years as well as the staff of the Emergency unit at VJH. Cremation has preceded a Celebration of Life, which will be held at the Schubert Centre on Saturday, August 25 from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family request that a donation be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. Arrangements are in the care of Vernon Funeral Home 250-542-0155.

Catherine Mary Levins
™ MicroSolve Computer Solutions
(nee Blackwood, nee Corner)
Born to Raymond and Edna Corner April 26 1927 in Glenmore BC two months premature, Cathy spent her ¿rst hours in a drawer placed in front of the wood stove. Cathy passed August 10 2012 at 85 years of age at Hillside Village Salmon Arm BC with family in attendance. Cathy was predeceased by her ¿rst husband Roy, and oldest son Stephen. She is survived by her second husband Gordon, children Dan [Pat], Susan [David], Bill [Barbara], daughter in law Kathy; nine grandchildren and spouses, many great grandchildren, several sisters in law and brothers in law, nieces and nephews. Cathy worked for the government of Canada as a public servant for many years, retiring from the Radar Base at Mount Lolo in Kamloops when it closed down. She lived in various locations around BC and Alberta, including Kelowna, Coldstream, Ladysmith, Calgary, Vernon and ¿nally settling in Chase BC. Cathy also lived in the beautiful Parkside residence in Chase, had a short stay at Bastion Place in Salmon Arm and ¿nally resided at Hillside Village in Salmon Arm. All places had wonderful, caring staff that made Cathy’s last year and a half very enjoyable for her. Mom, grandma and great grandma will be forever remembered as that slightly crazy grandma with the huge smile and infectious laugh, always giving wonderful little gifts to all, she loved to write letters and send cards to everyone for every holiday that came along. Cathy had lifelong penpals around the world. The family would like to thank the staff at those residences, as well as the wonderful guys and gals on the 4th Àoor of Shuswap Lake General Hospital for the care and compassion they showed Cathy. We would also like to send our heartfelt thanks to Cathy’s fantastic doctor, Dr. Kevin Goldberg for his understanding, compassion and excellent care. Cathy is to be interred with her parents in the Kelowna Cemetery. No service by request. A small celebration of life will be held at a later date in Kelowna. Memorial donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Box 1141, Salmon Arm, BC, V1E 4P3. Arrangements entrusted to FISCHER’S FUNERAL SERVICES & CREMATORIUM LTD., Salmon Arm, (250) 833-1129. EMAIL condolences and share memories through Cathy’s obituary at www. ¿schersfuneralservices.com.
