Countdown begins to host 2014 RBC Cup

Summerside will be a tough act for Greater Vernon to follow. The Prince Edward Island community hosted the 2013 Royal Bank Cup national Junior A hockey championship, which culminated May 19 with the Brooks Bandits of Alberta beating the host Summerside Capitals 3-1 in the championship. The 2014 tournament will run May 10 to 18 at Kal Tire Place (currently the Wesbild Centre). “Summerside did a phenomenal job as hosts, the community was 100 per cent behind it,” said Mike Lane, co-chair of the Greater Vernon RBC organizing committee, who attended the second half of the weeklong event with fellow chairperson Chris Collard. Committee members Don and Betty Klepp attended the first part of the week in
“We’ll be front and centre in the next week or two.” — Mike Lane
P.E.I. “It’s going to be a benchmark for us to try and top,” added Lane. “Their facility was No. 1. It had the rink, an auditorium, whatever you wanted it was there.” The new Summerside facility opened within the past five years, and also includes a swimming pool and horse racing track. Plans for the 2014 RBC tournament are moving forward. “We’ll be front and centre in the next week or two, engaging volunteers and having more ticket sale pushes,” said Lane. The Vernon Vipers, who will be in the
tournament as the host team, have made a couple of major player announcements, finalizing the trade with the Surrey Eagles Thursday that sent Vipers sniper Adam Tambellini to the Eagles (see page A19). Surrey won the first-ever Crescent Point Energy Western Canada Cup in Nanaimo, beating Brooks in the final to send both teams to the RBC Cup in Summerside. The host Capitals beat Surrey in overtime in a semifinal. “It helps our cause when the team makes announcements about new players,” said Lane. “It gets people excited for the upcoming season.” Lane said the organizing committee is looking for about 200 volunteers in total, and currently sits at around 140. Anybody willing to volunteer can sign up at the Vipers office in the Wesbild Centre or contact Betty Klepp at eechan@shaw.ca. The Greater Vernon RBC Cup is expected
to have its own dedicated website, organized through Hockey Canada, up and running in a few weeks. Ticket sales are also going well. Tickets can be purchased online through the Vipers’ website, vipers.bc.ca. The 2014 tournament will mark the second time that Vernon followed Summerside in hosting the national Junior A championship tournament. The first was in 1990, when the event was known as the Centennial Cup, and the host Vernon Lakers beat the BCHL champion New Westminster Royals 6-5 in overtime in the championship game at the Civic Arena. It was the also the first time the tournament was a five-team event. The host Summerside Capitals lost the 1989 final to the Thunder Bay Flyers in the final of the last four-team event. The Lakers were the Western Canadian champs, but went 0-3 in Summerside.

Emissions continue in school district Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions continues in the Vernon School District, but it’s impossible to eliminate them completely. Last year, the district was required to pay
“We have to fill them out, including information such as what kind of lawnmowers we use...” — Randy Hoffman
$76,675 plus GST to the Ministry of Education to offset its carbon gas emissions. “Because we are not zero in our carbon dioxide emissions, we do have to pay and we use block funding for that,” said secretary-treasurer Randy Hoffman. “But we do get to claim back the additional litres of carbon tax surcharge on fuel, giving us $73,000 back. “I don’t know that we can ever be carbon neutral, as we have too many aging buildings.” The board is required to present a Carbon Neutral Action Report to the ministry, with details of the work it has done to reduce its emissions. “(Executive assistant) Lynn Jameson does all
of the hard work, and it’s burdensome at best,” said Hoffman. “The ministry gives us spreadsheets and we have to fill them out, including information such as what kind of lawnmowers we use, what kind of buses, how many microwaves, but we would not get this work done without Lynn.” British Columbia’s public sector became carbon neutral in 2010, and the K-12 education sector is taking actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Climate Action Revenue Incentive (CARI) Charter was introduced September 2008. School boards that sign the charter will be reimbursed annually for all of the carbon tax they
paid in the previous calendar year. In the Vernon School District, other initiatives include the promotion of anti-idling at all of its properties, and encouraging recycling, reusing, composting and wastereduction programs. It has continued to replace older maintenance fleet vehicles with more fuel effective vehicles. In its buildings, the district has been involved in an energy retro fit program such as low flow, light sensors, temperature setbacks, water management, lighting, use of low E paint and recycled material where possible. As well, a computerbased energy management system has been
ADVENTURE BAY
implemented. Co2 sensors are in many locations that turn the fresh air flow on or off according to occupancy as well as door sensors, so if gym doors are wide open, the A/C will not come on. All appliance replacements will be Energy Star rated, and many teachers travelling to rural schools have been carpooling. The completion of the new Coldstream elementary and Vernon secondary schools — both rated LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold — the district has been able to significantly reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. “With the completion of Coldstream, this has led to the greatest reduction in utility consumption in any one year in our school system,” said Hoffman. “And we anticipate similar reductions at VSS.”

Surviving not one, not even 10, but 28 cancer surgeries, Randolph Westphal is spreading hope around the world, one pedal at a time. The 55-year-old cancer survivor from Frankfurt, Germany is on his sixth world tour, which brought him through Vernon Wednesday. He has been waging a personal battle with cancer since he was first diagnosed in 1987. “They gave me six months to live,” said Westphal, who credits a positive attitude and optimistic outlook to his survival. It’s this outlook that Westphal is determined to spread to others battling cancer. And he has done just that by circling the world five times now. “Don’t sit in the corner and wait for your death,” he urges. “There is life with cancer.” He is living proof. But cancer isn’t the only obstacle Westphal has overcome. On one of his tours, Westphal had a near fatal accident in Argentina when he and his first dog, Shir Khan, were struck down in daylight by a hit and run driver. The accident killed his faithful husky and tore Westphal’s left leg from his body. Doctors managed to re-attach his leg, and 48 operations later he was back on the road. Now travelling with his two huskies, Nanook and Chinook, Westphal has touched countless lives on his journey, which also brings him to hospitals, cancer centres and universities to speak.

Nanook and Chinook join Randolph Westphal as he rides through Vernon Wednesday on his sixth world tour spreading hope for those with cancer. He has had 28 cancer operations since first being diagnosed in 1987 when doctors told him he only had six months to live. “Thousands of people find hope in my story,” he smiles, as that is exactly what he strives to do - give people hope so they never give up. In Scotland he’s been called Braveheart and in the U.S. he’s been named the living legend. But he has a different name for himself. And it’s exactly what you’ll hear when you wish him good luck on his journey. “I am the luck,” said Westphal who also
lives with a virus. “A cat has nine lives, I have much more.” His worldwide journeys are enough to earn some of his titles. Among the more than 205,000 kilometres of road he has travelled, Westphal has rode in every extreme. “The worst was minus 51 weather.” And he does it all on a budget of less than $20 a day (feeding himself and his dogs). Which is why donations are greatly accept-
ed, to help Westphal continue his journey of spreading hope. Vernon’s Prestige Hotel went even further to help Westphal’s journey by giving him a complimentary room to rest for the night. Westphal’s sixth world tour began May 4 in the U.S. and since visiting the Okanagan he has travelled up to Salmon Arm and Revelstoke on his journey north to Alaska.

Enderby seeks flood funding roger knox Morning Star Staff
The City of Enderby hopes to tap into provincial and federal grant funding to help mitigate flooding issues. Enderby has filed an expression of interest to the flood protection program intake for 2013. If successful, the city’s application will be shortlisted for provincial and federal funding. “Staff recommends that the city apply to upgrade the pumping capabilities at the lift Tate Bengtson station on Regent (Avenue),” wrote Tate Bengtson, the city’s deputy chief administrative officer in a report to council. “This station is critical to the city’s drainage system.” During high water, wrote Bengtson, the Shuswap River rises above the lift station’s discharge pipe and
requires pumping. If a major storm event hits the community during this time, enhanced pumping capacity is crucial to prevent flooding associated with surcharging and overland flow of storm water. The city was hit by a major storm and flooding in the summer of 2012, and in its application, the city pointed out that there has been flooding in the area at least two times per season the past two years. “We need more capacity,” said Enderby Mayor Howie Cyr. “I hope we’re successful with our application.” The city has applied for $1 million in funding over two years for the project, including $700,000 for 2014-15 and $300,000 for 2015-16. Cyr said the city has been keeping a close eye on water levels this week with all of the rain that has fallen. “It’s typical spring high water,” said Cyr of the Shuswap River. “It doesn’t look particularly frightening right now, but we’re watching it.”

the advisory has ended as most rivers peaked Thursday and have since started to recede. But residential flooding remains in Lumby, where water levels had risen substantially in some areas. “We’ve got our firemen and some of our locals out doing sandbagging,” said Mayor Kevin Acton, who has been pushing the regional district to do more to control flows on Duteau Creek. “It’s getting pretty bad.” Okanagan Lake is approximately 14 centimeters below full pool. Property owners living around lakes may wish to protect their docks and other waterfront structures from possible damage resulting from high water levels and wave action. All boaters and those waterskiing or wakeboarding are asked to help reduce any potential shoreline erosion from waves by keeping speeds and wakes down especially when they are near or approaching the shoreline. And please stay alert for any potential floating hazards brought into area lakes from the creek runoff.

Witnesses corral fleeing driver roger knox Morning Star Staff
A Vancouver Island man is facing several charges following a single-vehicle rollover accident in Vernon Thursday. Police were called after a 1994 green Eagle Talon was spotted being driven in what some witnesses told police was a reckless manner in the vicinity of 24th Avenue and 43rd Street at around 7 p.m. “One person saw the vehicle heading north in a weaving pattern on 43rd Street, then heard brakes and saw the Gord Molendyk car hit the curb and flip onto its roof,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The driver was seen exiting the vehicle by two
people and he took off toward Vernon Creek. He was apprehended by witnesses and held until RCMP arrived. A box of .22-calibre bullets were thrown from the vehicle, but Molendyk said they were of no concern to police in this matter. “There were no firearms found in the vehicle and it’s not an offence to have bullets in a vehicle,” he said. “Individuals do carry them. We don’t know the background of this individual, he could be a gun owner, he could be a target shooter.” The accident remains under investigation. The driver, a 25-year-old man from Courtenay, was arrested for impaired operation of a motor vehicle, driving with a blood-alcohol level greater than .08, dangerous driving and failing to remain at the scene of an accident. He is expected to appear in Vernon Provincial Court Aug. 1.

Council ponders one-way street roger knox Morning Star Staff
A third option will be considered by Enderby council for improving a troublesome intersection. Staff had recommended that council install a three-way stop, as opposed to the other option of eliminating two-to-four parking stalls, at Cliff Avenue and Belvedere Street. At Tuesday’s regular council meeting, staff was instructed to look into a third option. “They’ll look at creating a oneway street north on Belvedere,” said Mayor Howie Cyr. The one-way street would
go to the four-way stop at the Royal Canadian Legion, with the right turn onto Mill Avenue also becoming a one-way roadway. In a report to council, assistant corporate officer and planning assistant Kurt Inglis told council the intersection has been identified as a safety concern within the community for both motorists and pedestrians. Due to the location of parking stalls to the east and west of the intersection, sight lines for motorists attempting to gain access onto Cliff Avenue are significantly compromised. “This, in turn, results in motorists entering onto Cliff
Avenue from Belvedere Street with limited visibility, as well for pedestrians using one of the three crosswalks at the intersection,” wrote Inglis. The safety concern is also heightened by high-speed traffic that travels onto Cliff Avenue from Enderby-Mabel Lake Road. A traffic engineer has confirmed that there is a significant safety concern due to the lack of sightlines for motorists accessing Cliff Avenue from Belvedere Street. Staff is to report on the pros and cons of a one-way street northbound on Belvedere at the next council meeting.

The Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce went with a different approach as it hosted the annual Mayors and Planners Breakfast Thursday morning at the Village Green Hotel. Acting on feedback from previous years, the chamber added a roundtable discussion to promote better interaction between attendees and local government representatives. “They were able to hear all the wonderful things that are going on in the community, but they weren’t able to present their concerns or ideas,” said chamber GM George Duffy, of the reasoning for the roundtable. “In a large group format that can be tough. It can be awkward to put up a hand and say something they feel is a little controversial. We wanted to break people up into smaller, more intimate groups to have the conversation go back and forth.” Unfortunately for the ever-enthusiastic Patrick Nicol, chairperson of Regional District of the North Okanagan, it left him with less time to expound
upon the goings on in the area. He was tactfully reined in by chamber events co-ordinator Kim Bourke, earning a chuckle from a crowd of more than 90. Other speakers included Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky and Mike Reiley, the new director of development services for the District of Coldstream. Reiley was subbing in for Mayor Jim Garlick. Each speaker addressed the current issues and achievements in his particular region. Some of the topics covered included meat regulations, the new sports facility, OCP reviews, public transit and the rising demand for parks and trail systems. Afterwards, participants were invited to roam the conference room and drop in on roundtable discussions, with topics ranging from economic development to engineering to regional growth strategies. With Vernon and Coldstream both conducting official community plan reviews, and with the RDNO working on a number of surveys, Duffy said the roundtable was an ideal opportunity for participants to learn about them in more detail.

Township trail to get upgrade roger knox Morning Star Staff
With the City of Armstrong helping out, the Township of Spallumcheen will now look at upgrading a popular trail. The Thomas Hayes Trail, located west of the Tolko mill site, is in need of upgrades after suffering damage over the winter. The trail needs to be cleared and some dangerous trees need to be felled. Volunteers can’t do the job as trucks can’t access the trail, so township public works manager Ed Forslund obtained a professional quote for the work. The total was $3,000. “There’s always money in our budget to do park improvements, but this quote was for more than we have,” said Spallumcheen administrator Greg Betts. Chief financial officer Brian Freeman-Marsh confirmed there is $2,500 in the township’s 2013 budget for park upgrades and maintenance. Spallumcheen public works manager Ed Forslund approached the City of Armstrong about cost sharing for the upgrades, as the trail benefits residents of both communities.
Now 65, MP looks at future martha wickett Black Press
North OkanaganShuswap MP Colin Mayes turned 65 in April, but he’s not quite ready to collect his MP pension yet. “I haven’t made my decision whether I’m going to run for reelection in two-and-ahalf years; it’s one of the things I’m considering.” There is no rule regarding when an MP must retire. The oldest MP is Ray Boughen from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, who is 76. “My kids would like to see me home, and my wife says, ‘I think you’re too young to retire.’ I appreciate that,” says Mayes. He notes that his parliamentary committee is studying
older workers in the workplace – specifically 55 and older. “There was a gospel of Freedom 55. Is it realistic and do people really want to retire at 55? “That could give you 45 years of being retired. That’s more years of being retired than working.”
Armstrong agreed to pay 50 per cent of the bill up to $1,500. How’s the quality? One Spallumcheen councillor believes a quality of life survey being conducted by the Regional District of North Okanagan is important. Christine Fraser said the survey is to help the regional district gauge what they think is the quality of life in the North Okanagan. “Do people want more business, more trails, more retirement centres, and what are they happy with and not happy with,” said Fraser of the survey, which began online May 10 and wraps up at 4:30 p.m. on June 7. “I think it’s important that as many people as possible fill out the survey.” Residents who complete the 15-to-20 minute survey will be entered into a draw to win an iPod Nano or a $200 gift card, as well as a chance to win one of 10, $25 gift cards to the store of their choice. The survey can be completed online at www. rdno.ca/qols. Paper copies are available at the regional district office, municipal offices and branches of the Okanagan Regional Library. Winners will be announced June 30.

So How Does Acupuncture Work? Western Medicine cannot explain how Acupuncture actually works. It causes areas of the brain to be stimulated, but they don’t understand how or why. Using Traditional Chinese Medicine theories, there are 12 main organs that have their own energetic pathway. These 12 organs have physical functions and mental-emotional functions. For example, one of the liver’s functions is detoxifying the body, and it does the same thing on an emotional level. Therefore, if the energetic pathway to the liver is compromised, it has a hard time detoxifying and smoothing out emotions leading to stress, headaches, poor sleep and anxiety. I like to think of the energetic pathways as rivers. Along each river, the water can pool. This is where the Acupuncture point lies. Since metal conducts energy very well, we use stainless steel needles to influence the points, and allow the energy to flow. Depending on the physical location of the point and which organ the pathway relates to, Acupuncture will have varying influences.

To the victors go the...
he fine line between winning and losing has always fascinated me, it’s what makes sports so darn interesting, not to mention life itself where we always like to label things like we’re talking about a horse race. There’s been a couple of fine examples this past week or so to illustrate my point. Although it was likely not a surprise to most hockey fans, Vancouver Canucks coach Alain Vigneault was fired. Someone had to take Glenn Mitchell the fall for the hockey team losing in the first playoff round in back-toback years, not to mention 10 of their last 11 playoff games – and six were at home. And the players, as they say, can’t all be let go, although some frustrated fans might be in favour of that, and GM Mike Gillis, who is more responsible for the draft picks and trades that didn’t pan out than the coach, could be fired but he outranks the coach so that might have something to do with how things transpired. But it’s also how you put things in perspective. Vigneault guided the Canucks to a franchiserecord 313 wins over seven seasons, two regularseason titles, one coach of the year award, six Northwest Division titles and, of course, fell just one small but so huge victory short of a Stanley Cup. And I still say that seven-game series seesawed so many times, including what I still think was a momentum changer in an ill-advised hit in Game 3, it could have gone either way. But then again I should get over it and move on with my life, right? Well, now Vigneault is moving on with his life and I’m sure he’ll find work soon and he should feel good about his accomplishments in Vancouver and how he conducted himself in a hockey-crazed, all-or-nothing market. And speaking of tough markets. The Toronto Maple Leafs had an historical meltdown in the third period in Game 7 against the Boston Bruins.

Although it also has to be put in context as the Leafs, according to most, still outperformed expectations as they made the playoffs for the first time in recent memory and trailed 3-1 in the series and were the underdogs and.... So they’re losers, and winners? And whatever they are they’ll still sell out Air Canada Centre every night and be the constant focus of TSN and HNIC et al anyway. On a personal note, I watched the last period of that game with my kid, who’s a die-hard Leafs fan (no, I don’t get it, either, if you must know), and although he was terribly upset, he handled it so much better than I would have if the Canucks had suffered the same fate. So much for advanced years bringing a better sense of perspective and maturity to life’s slings and arrows, eh? Anyway, conversely, if the Leafs had actually scored on that good chance in OT in Game 7, I’m pretty sure Bruins coach Claude Julien would be looking for a new job. Instead he just may be guiding his team to another Stanley Cup, you know like that one they won two years ago when they beat......oh, never mind. And then there’s politics. Christy Clark was supposed to lose the provincial election. For two long years, the polls said so. The so-called pundits said so. I’m pretty sure all those former Liberal cabinet ministers who chose to abandon ship rather than run alongside Clark thought her chances of victory were, well, not very good at all. Right. As they say in sports, even though the odds may be against you and the competition may be tough, you still have to play the game because you never know. Pundits and analysts, the same ones who got it so wrong, are still trying to figure this one out and it may take some time to get it right (ahem) but obviously campaigns count and voters trump pollsters every time. However, again like in sports, and as any hockey coach can tell you, today’s winners can be tomorrow’s losers, and vice versa, so take note and good luck to all concerned in handling whatever the future holds.
In the blink of an eye, the Conservative government can strip away the retirement dreams of millions of Canadians. But when a loyal soldier of the government stands accused of bilking taxpayers with improper expenses, the prime minister claims to be powerless, while money is quietly funneled out of his office to repay the alleged wrongdoing. But, this time, Canadians may finally have had enough. The cloud of scandal continues to grow over the head of embattled Senator Mike Duffy. The former TV journalist is accused of fudging his expense account, eventually repaying the improperly claimed expenses with $90,000 he received from Nigel Wright, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s chief of staff who has since resigned. Duffy has now quit the Conservative caucus in the Senate, but he is so far rejecting calls to resign as a senator. And the prime minister seems unwilling to push him out the door. Harper said he was “not happy” and “very upset” with the conduct of some parliamentarians and his own office, before hopping on a plane for a South American trade mission without answering questions from reporters. The same prime minister who has shown the powers of a majority government are almost limitless is now unable to even mention the name of his disgraced colleague. Apart from apparently filing bogus expense claims, most Canadians would be hard pressed to name a single duty that senators fulfill. Maybe Mike Duffy has done a service to his country after all. Maybe the senator’s actions will be the straw that broke the camel’s back and prompt Canadians to demand an end to the political embarrassment that is this nation’s Senate. ---Penticton Western News

City needs industry-friendly focus
W
hat has happened to the Vernon economy? The locals are indignant about the latest assessment given to Vernon regarding our well-being. When our children were still pre-school age my wife and I decided to move to where the action was. That was 1971. The logging industry was going full swing, equipment shops, and considerable industry was everywhere you looked. Shoppers actually came from places like Kelowna and Kamloops to do their business. I don't know how many industrial shops were bullied out of local areas because houses were built on adjoining properties where people complained about the noise and losing the very jobs that stimulated the local economy. In 42 years one would lose count of the number of business venture applicactions which were rejected during that time. Where did they go – to Kelowna and Kamloops of course.
sewer lift station This letter is regarding the sewage pumping station that was built in front of my house last fall. I tried to have the pumping station relocated where the present tank is on the hill. There it would not have interfered with anyone's property and be farther away from the lake. But my recommendations fell on deaf ears. The mayor and council members, by the advice of the engineers, proceeded with the project regardless of my objections. Now there is to be another one built on Beachcomber Bay Road, a short distance from this one. The latter will be much smaller but the residents seeing the one in front of my house are up in arms. I was told six weeks before the project started and none of my neighbors were notified. The residents of Beachcomber at least have known for one year about the project and some the neighbours were notified. I never agreed with this project and I continue to object to its impact on my life. andree Martel rhodes downtown park Over two years ago I suggested to the city planners, city council and the DVA to purchase the vacated Bank of Montreal building and create a pocket park. I suggest naming it Barnard Park after the historical name that 30th
The numerous city councils over the years began focusing more on building houses and retail outlets to increase the tax base, and cater to the tourist industry. So what do we have – temporary construction and minimum wage retail jobs. I see many areas where houses and apartment buildings are going up that would be suitable for industry locations and yet there is little or no place to start up light manufacturing plants. I guess when the residential developer pays for the infrastructure it doesn't cost the city anything to get more tax base. When Vernon stops catering to the residential developers and focuses on making the area more industry-friendly there will be more of a balance between the size of population and the available jobs to support it. Until council finally gets their act together, I guess we can build more houses. And more houses. Gabe siska
Avenue was once named. With tall shade trees, flower gardens, waterfall, benches and a downtown map kiosk, I could imagine tourists and other visitors driving into town on Hwy 97 seeing this feature, wanting to stop and explore downtown to see what it has to offer. This is what we could have for an eye catcher and calming effect to the downtown business district. This was my suggestion for the corner of 32nd St. and 30th Ave. where the former Bank of Montreal was. The modern-looking building that was on this site which didn’t fit-in with the neighbouring architecture, replaced the original Bank of Montreal building which was moved by rolling it back to its present location on logs. The city had the opportunity to purchase this building and maybe still does if they approach the owner now while it’s under partial demolition and before it gets reconstructed. The old bank building and the Interior Gift Gallery building can be featured as part of the history of the City of Vernon, perhaps with another historical mural on the side of the Interior Gift Gallery.

the beautiful pink blossoms on the trees next to 25th Avenue. Later I found out they are flowering plum trees. I decided to walk to The Morning Star and drop off my hockey picks. It wasn't too far and after I could walk to the garden plot I had rented for the season near the Shubert Center close to home. There's a wide walking path, lined with trees, all along either side. I noticed that each tree planted had a plaque in the ground. Each with the name of the tree and "in memory of someone" donated by loved ones. I thought what a great idea. So I started writing down the different types of trees. Lila's, Ponderosa Pines, Heritage Oak's Snow Bird Hawthhorn, Sunburst Locust, just to name a few. There are 19 different kinds by my count. My favorite was one that read, "We enjoyed our visit to Vernon, Thank You". Maybe on a sunny day, it would be nice to take the kids for an educational walk down memory lane. tim presslaber polar Bears Upon reading the headline to Colin Mayes’ article that polar bear protection was “unnecessary,” I laughed for a moment, thinking I had somehow missed April Fool’s Day and that the article was his little joke.
But no, it wasn't, and he was serious. I thought perhaps he’d simply watched too many Coca Cola ads over the Xmas holidays, featuring all those fat little polar bear cubs and penguins frolicking happily together on little ice floes. sBut no, it’s better than that: Mr. Mayes cites as evidence that his brother knows all about climate change as he lives close to the Arctic and can see that the weather there is normal. Goodness, how then are scientists and countless international agencies acquiring their seemingly irrefutable facts that within 10 years the consequences of climate change will have made the world as we know it unrecognizable? What aren’t Mr. Mayes and his brother sharing with the IPCC? More to the point, do they even know what the IPCC is? Or why the President of the Maldives is trying to wake the world up to the plight of his nation as it sinks beneath the waves? Or that with the melting of the ice cap polar bears must swim up to 400 miles to find ice? The Harper government has zero credibility, both in Canada and internationally, when it comes to environmental protection, and it is an insult to the electorate for Mr. Mayes to attempt to paint the policies of the Harper government in even a faded shade of green. tish woodley

Fintry barge becoming a burden

“Efficient”
Black Press
Stan Roy has been trying to remove a barge from the water in front of his Okanagan Lake property for more than two years. Roy’s property, which borders La Casa Resort, near Fintry, is rented out during the summer months to various guests, some of which include families with young children. His top concern is that somebody staying at his house or the nearby La Casa Resort will get hurt on the machinery or random pieces of steel found on the vessel. “I’ve seen kids on the barge,” said Roy. “We had some guests up here one time and the kids kept wanting to get on there…I wouldn’t allow them on there.” He said the owner abandoned the barge after he stopped doing work at La Casa Resort a couple years ago. Since then, Roy has contacted several government agencies with the hope of getting the barge removed. Despite his efforts, the barge still sits on the foreshore in front of his property. Patrick Tobin, regional manager of compliance and enforcement for the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, said the compliance and enforcement branch has been trying to get the owner to remove the barge for about a year.

Stan Roy points to the barge that has been sitting on the foreshore in front of his Fintry property for about two years. “We try to, where we can, get voluntary compliance,” said Tobin. “We try to get them to deal with it because it’s pretty costly for government to go in and (implement) seizure and removal, especially of things like this.” He noted the owner currently has three vessels within the Thompson-Okanagan region that the ministry wants removed, including a pile driver on Kalamalka Lake. Tobin added it appeared as if the owner was beginning to take responsibility last year; however, has taken a step back since then. “He’s no longer returning any
of our calls or responding back to us. We’re almost done with giving him chances.” The situation is uncommon, according to Tobin, and gets convoluted by the fact vessels are governed under federal jurisdiction. “This thing has become a rather slow process (as) we’ve tried to figure our way through the jurisdiction overlap. We’ve been in contact with Transport Canada on this particular one… they’ve determined it’s not a hazard to navigable waters.” Even if there are no environmental impacts and the vessel does not impede navigation
according to Transport Canada regulations, the ministry still has the option of addressing the issue through the trespass provisions of the Land Act. Tobin said the compliance and enforcement branch will soon begin a “ramped-up enforcement action” to deal with the vessel. “We’ll give him one last chance with very tight timelines. Failing to do so will come with some pretty stiff penalties, plus we’ll take the steps to remove (the barge).” The owner of the barge could not be reached for comment.
Centre to unveil fund thermometer Morning Star Staff
There will soon be a visible indication of residents supporting residents in Lumby. The Whitevalley Community Resource Centre will unveil its Legacy Fund thermometer Thursday at 3 p.m. at the rest stop on the west side of the village. “We would like to invite community leaders, public supporters and community members to this event,” said Gay Jewitt, executive director. “We invite you to join us to celebrate where we’re at.” The Legacy Fund campaign was launched earlier this year and the goal is to raise $800,000 for an endowment fund. The principle will remain in an endowment fund and the interest generated each year will help cover operational expenses. WCRC services include counselling for adults and families, addictions counselling, after-school activities, Kid’s Zone in Cherryville, summer day
camps, toddler programs, cooking classes for those on a budget, seniors drop-in, health information for seniors, Good Food Box and Internet access. In 2012, the agency handled more than 14,500 phone calls and visits to the office. The hope is the Legacy Fund will provide WCRC with sustainable finances. “In our ever-changing world there is little about the future that we can be sure of - but the need for social services and programs is one of them” said Joanne Kineshanko, campaign co-chairperson. “In a time of ever-increasing budget cuts to social services, it is essential the organization not only raises funds to meet current needs but to ensure that the future needs of the community are met.” For more information on the campaign or to donate, call 250-547-8866 or go to www.whitevalley.ca.

City targets revitalization plan roger knox Morning Star Staff
More residences central to the city could make up most of Enderby’s revitalization plans. The Our Enderby Infill and Redevelopment Working Group has come up with nine strategic recommendations – the majority related to housing – that will be referred to the city’s revitalization committee action matrix. “There are a variety of recommendations, many that concentrate on the residential population being closer and in the core of the city,” said Mayor Howie Cyr. “The advantage is to create a more vibrant core area of our city and make more use of existing infrastructure.” The working group met in February and considered the total
number of lots and vacant lots within each zoning designation. Additional locations were identified that had a high potential for redevelopment. Cyr appointed three councillors – Tundra Baird, Raquel Knust and Greg McCune – to a standing committee to study the recommendations. They will, in turn, recommend three local residents to sit on the committee. That committee will examine all of the vitalization issues that came up during the city’s public consultation phase and prioritize them. “We don’t want this to fall off the table, we want to keep in the public conscious and move forward,” said Cyr. “They’ll be reporting back to council every meeting. It’s really good to have that.”

Cats not a concern for city roger knox Morning Star Staff
Problem cats in Enderby will have to be dealt with by property owners. The city has rejected a notion of creating a bylaw in regards to feral cats in the city. “We had a couple of calls and one of our residents was very concerned (about problem cats) and wanted the city to take the lead and do something,” said Enderby Mayor Howie Cyr. “There was no appetite to have a bylaw enacted. We simply don’t have the capacity to be chasing and catching cats.” The city hopes homeowners that experience problem cats on their property will get a trap consisting of a cage and a door from the SPCA and humanely trap the animals, then take them to the SPCA. “We’re encouraging residents to deal with it on their own,” said Cyr. Public swim rates rising It could soon cost a wee bit more for select groups for public swimming at the Enderby pool. Council gave three readings to a bylaw that would see rates for parent and pre-school and kids under six increase slightly. There would also be a public swim hike for licensed not-for-profit preschool or youth organizations equal to the school district rate. “The bylaw is reflective of increasing costs of running things, like supplies and stuff,” said Cyr. Parents and pre-school would pay $5 during public swimming while kids under six would pay $3. A loonie swim could also change to a toonie swim. Council approved the bylaw in conjunction with a recommendation made from the Enderby/Area F Joint Services Commission. The commission suggests that kids five and under be charged $3 during public swimming, but council changed it to six and under. Final reading of the bylaw must take place before it’s adopted. Trail alliance in place The city and the Shuswap Trail Alliance have ratified a three-year deal that will see Enderby pay the alliance $10,000 a year for the next three years. The alliance fosters active healthy living with the development of community trails in and around Enderby. “They do unbelievable work,” said Cyr. “It’s the best bang for your dollar you’ll find.” The city and the Enderby and District Services Commission have committed to support trail build-
ing, marketing, maintenance and planning, and so have teamed up with the alliance in that regard. The Shuswap Trail Alliance has a similar deal with the City of Salmon Arm. Raffle tickets available The city, Okanagan Boys and Girls Club and Splatsin Youth have teamed up to help raise funds for youth programs in the area. The trio are hosting a raffle that runs until the end of July. Winners will be drawn at Enderby City Hall. Raffle prizes include a Twin Anchors houseboat vacation, a stay at the Okanagan Boys and Girl Clubs’ Camp Arrowflight in Spallumcheen, as well as golf passes from the Mabel Lake Golf Course. Tickets are $5 each and are available at Marketplace IGA and Sutherland’s.

es a new flying disc sport developed by students at Kal. Free demos and tournaments in parks and on beaches serve as a promotional vehicle and a way to sell Frisbis products on-site. This activity will be complemented by the sale of Frisbis products online. “I’m always impressed by how the BDC E-Spirit students have the ability to turn a business idea into a full business plan in just 16 weeks,” said Wilson Neapew, BDC National Director, Aboriginal Banking Unit. “Throughout the competition, students use the Internet and social media as strategic business tools. Their participation in this competition offers them practical business experience that can be applied to many of their personal and future professional pursuits.” BDC E-Spirit is a 16 week web-based competition for Aboriginal high school students in grades 10 to 12 that provides interactive business planning resources, online access to mentoring and extensive student networking opportunities. The three winning teams received cash prizes in the amount of $1,500 for gold, $750 for silver and $500 for bronze. Nine special achievement awards were also presented with winners receiving iPads, Netbooks, and iPods.

East Hill residents are encouraged to engage in change. Following a survey done in March, residents are invited to discuss the findings and help identify possible projects or action to take in the area. The neighbourhood conversation takes place Tuesday at the East Hill Community Church (360512th Street) from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Annette Sharkey, executive director of the Social Planning Council, will help facilitate the discussion for the evening. She is excited to see the neighbourhood come together to “work, plan, and play” and further build the East Hill community. Childcare is available for those who request it by email (office@easthillcommunity.com). The conversation will follow up on the more than 135 responses received in March from the Community Opportunity Scan survey. “Volunteers went door to door for interviews within a one-kilometre radius of the church (near Silver Star School),” said Dave Unrau, church worship director. “Asking questions like ‘what do you like best about your neighbourhood?’ and ‘what would you change about your neighbourhood?’ produced great information and a starting point for more discussion.” Traffic was the leading concern, followed by miscellaneous – which was a culmination of a crosswalk needed on 12th Street, resistance to change, after school events for kids, clay cracks in houses, lives too busy, seniors with health concerns, lack of work opportunities, transportation and high utilities and taxes – and problem neighbours. Survey results are available on the church website at www.easthillcommunity.com/survey. “East Hill residents are now being invited to come together in a broader conversation about the findings of the survey and to identify possible projects or action steps they want to take together.”

City offers cycling safety tips Morning Star Staff
Now that spring is here, we are seeing more bicycles on our roadways. “Bicycles are a valuable part of how people move across and through our community, so it’s important that we respect the areas set aside for their use,” said Bylaw Enforcement Manager, Clint Kanester. Bicycle lanes are designated by signs or painted markings on the roadway. In all cases, they are marked with a diamond. This designates them as “special use lanes.” You may see other white painted lines near the
road edge, especially in the more rural areas of Vernon, or in areas where there is no designated sidewalk or curb. These lines are called “fog lines” and designate the vehicular travel portion of the roadway. This helps motorists stay in their lanes and allows the shoulder of the roadway to be used for parking, pedestrians or cycling, unless otherwise marked. Bike lanes help provide “green” transportation opportunities. Bike lanes promote safe cycling and are an important component of the city’s transportation plan.

Hannoun, a forward, and Klimek, a defenceman, both 1995-born players, will be joining the Vernon Vipers for the coming BCHL season. As the 2014 national tournament hosts, the Vipers are guaranteed a berth. However, still buzzing from his RBC joyride in Summerside, PEI, Klimek has no intention of settling for host-team status. “It was incredible, the feeling of accomplishment you get from all the hard work you put into it,” said the Langley product. “Obviously, we didn’t win there, but making it to a national championship is pretty impressive in my mind.” The Eagle duo comes to the Viper den as future considerations in a five-player deal that sent centre Adam Tambellini to the Fred Page Cup champion Eagles at the January carding deadline. Vernon picked up ‘94-born forward Mason Blacklock at the time of the trade. They sent second-year forward Michael Roberts, a Vernon native, to Surrey this week to complete the transaction. Roberts, who had four goals and 10 points in 53 games as a rookie, was unavailable for comment. Said Surrey head coach Matt Erhart: “It is a tough day as a coach and GM when you have to part with three quality young men that all have
bright futures in the game of hockey. “In order for the Eagles to push through and capture the Fred Page and Western Canada Cups, we felt that the moves were necessary at the time the trades were made.” Klimek, who turns 18 in August, plans to let his work ethic do the talking in setting an example for his new teammates. He pocketed six goals (four of them were game-winners) and 17 assists in 52 regular-season games, and followed that with six assists in 17 BCHL playoff tilts. “I just know what it takes, and having been there before I’ll be a little bit less nervous,” said the offensive-minded d-man. “And hopefully I can provide some leadership to the guys who haven’t been there before.” Klimek is committed to the Northern Michigan Wildcats for the 2014-15 season. Said Vernon head coach Jason Williamson, of Klimek: “He’s already a smooth-skating, puckmoving defenceman, and his best years are yet to come in our league. It bodes well for our already strong d corps.” Hannoun, a Delta product who is committed to the Michigan Tech Huskies, stepped up his game in the post-season, improving on a 33-point regular season by racking up 14 points (5-9) in 16 playoff tilts. “He was a top-line guy in Surrey,” said Williamson. “Right winger, right shot – you can play him in all situations, but he’s an offensive threat every time you put him on the ice.” Williamson knew he was getting three quality
players in the Tambellini trade. With Surrey reaching the RBC, it made the deal all the sweeter. “In a tournament like that you need a little experience,” he said. “We have Ryan Renz and Colton Sparrow who have been to an RBC before, and now we have two more. They were two pretty integral parts of Surrey’s run.” With the recent influx of talent (Vernon recently reaped 20-year-old d-man Josh Bryan and 19-year-old forward Michael McNicholas from the Nanaimo Clippers to complete the Aaron Hadley deal) they have a roster surplus. That includes nine returning 20-year-olds (BCHL teams are allowed six) – d-men Jason Bird, Geoff Crisfield, Renz and Bryan, forwards Brendan Persley, Sparrow, Liam Board and Braedan Russell, and goalie Austin Smith. “My guys knew that,” said Williamson. “They realize there’s probably some good players coming in a trade like that. That’s one of the things that has to happen when you’re trying to build a championship-calibre team.” SNAKE BITES: Tambellini will join David Pope of the West Kelowna Warriors as the lone BCHLers to participate in the NHL scouting combine, May 27-June 1 in Toronto. Tambellini is listed at No. 42 for North American skaters heading into the NHL Entry Draft, June 30, in New Jersey. Pope is rated at No. 67... Eagles’ rookie forward Kevan Kilistoff, 18, was sent to the Langley Rivermen to complete a three-team deal that, earlier this season, saw the Eagles pick up 20-year-old defenceman Troy Paterson from the Cowichan Valley Capitals.
The Armstrong Shamrocks snapped a two-game Thompson Okanagan Lacrosse League skid with a convincing 13-4 win over the South Okanagan Flames Friday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. The 2-4-1 Baby Rocks raced out to a 4-1 first-period lead and never looked back. They got offence from nine players, led by a Drew Hassard hat trick. Conor Payne (3A) and Brody Berg each scored twice, singles coming from Sam Hanley (3A), Dan Peterson (3A), Stephen Ringdal (2A), Willy Hanley, Adam New and Marlon Forrest. Connor Walton had three goals for the 2-4 Flames, who had only nine runners. The Rocks visit the 1-7 Kamloops Venom tonight, while the 4-1 Vernon Tigers are in Penticton to face the Flames. The Venom entertained the Cats Saturday night in Kamloops. Meanwhile, the Senior Shamrocks fell 12-9 to the host Kelowna Raiders in a closely contested battle Friday night at Memorial Arena. Trailing 3-2 after one period, Armstrong played its best lacrosse in the second period to tie it 8-8. Scoring for Armstrong were Steve Clark (2), Chad Pounder, Jarrett Medhurst, Brennan Plante, Braydon Sanders, Brent Anderson and Pat Nelson.

TSN duo heads Stateside
hey shot pumpkins out of a cannon, milked cows and bodysurfed through a large crowd in a scorching downtown Armstrong two summers ago. And they made a lot of people laugh as they signed autographs and posed for photos during the Kraft Celebration Tour. Jay Onrait and Dan O’Toole of TSN Sports Centre did their show live that Aug. 19 Friday, with Producer Tim forced to cut a funny Spallumcheen helicopter sketch since the Saskatchewan Roughriders had just fired their coach Greg Marshall. Roger Knox and I co-emceed the proceedings, meetKevin Mitchell ing Producer Tim in the trailer studio and doing sound checks for the TSN crew. We were then shooed away to make way for the 6-foot-6 Onrait and his smaller sidekick. Afterwards, I waited until the line subsided and got in a 14-minute interview with the two celebrity sportscasters. They were, as they appear on TV: hilarious,
between the lines
engaging, friendly and intelligent. They leave TSN late next month to join Fox Sports 1 which officially launches on Aug. 17. They will be based in Los Angeles. It appears not everybody out there likes Onrait and O’Toole’s unique chemistry and humour which has earned them a nationwide following. Onrait has 242,000 followers on Twitter. Wrote Lorin Tochim, of the University of Alberta, on the Edmonton Journal website story: “B-bye to two twits.” On the Toronto Star site, Nick Pirce said: “Jay Onrait and Dan O’Toole are the funniest guys in television.” From Josh Smit on the same Toronto site: “As a Canadian, I say thank you Fox Sports One for taking Onrait and O’Toole away from TSN. Two of the worst people that ever worked for ‘Canada’s Sports Leader.’ Hate their schtick. How anyone finds it enjoyable is beyond me...These two clowns try to make everything funny and completely fail 95 per cent of the time.” Responding to Smit was Ian Linross: “It’s entertainment!!!??? They’re not talking about Syria.” And from Markham Native2: “I’ll be honest, when Onrait first started acting a bit weird, he used to annoy me to the point that I’d change the channel. Over the last two years, however, I never miss an episode with these two guys. Their jokes and subtle references are not for the dense minded. You really gotta be quick and witty to understand, appreciate them, and I love the fact that they refused to conform to the dull and bland reporter types that are a dime a dozen.” After their departure from TSN was announced, Prime Minister Stephen Harper tweeted a photo of himself with Onrait and O’Toole, saying “Worst play of the day: Jay & Dan leaving TSN. Best of luck in
the U.S., gents.” I was stunned by the news. So was Knox. So was Ryan Nitchie, who pretty much had the two stocking shelves at Askew’s while he took their bus-trip-toAlberta-booze orders in between meals at The Brown Derby Cafe. We got up close and personal with these guys after spending a decade watching them nightly at 11 p.m. And now they’re up and bolting for L.A. It hurts big time. Fox Sports I is hiring 200 people. Knox and I turned down interview offers. Partly because we enjoy Cheezie Fridays too much and partly because our sons really like their schools. Onrait and O’Toole will be a major part of a three-hour Fox Sports Live program that will air nightly between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. Eastern. Though it won’t be formally announced for another month due to contractual obligations, ESPN’s stunning Charissa Thompson has already told her Bristol employers that she is leaving for Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports Live. She will be featured in the same late-night (Eastern) bloc as Onrait and O’Toole. Fox Sports management become aware of Onrait and O’Toole when they read the Wall Street Journal story above from last July that carried this longing headline: “Why Can’t We Have Canada’s ‘SportsCentre’?”. Fox Sports executives started taping Onrait and O’Toole’s nightly work from the Fox Soccer Channel studios in Vancouver. They liked what they saw, and offered the anchors a deal that included bringing over their longtime producer. Thompson will reportedly earn about $900,000 for her first year, and Fox Sports Live anchors will pocket between $300,000-$600,000 per year, depending on the specific talent. This, industry people say, is ridiculous cash. Onrait and O’Toole have certainly earned the right to make such money.
Sun sign prospects Morning Star Staff
The Okanagan Sun have signed four more players who attended spring camp earlier this month. Head coach Shane Beatty locked up a pair of linebackers, a safety and a kicker for the upcoming B.C. Football Conference season. Layne Hull, a 6-foot-1, 190-pound linebacker from the Yorkton Regional High School Raiders of Saskatchewan, says his mom is nervous about him leaving home to play Junior A football. “She will get over it and it will give mom and dad a reason to get away from the farm and come watch me play in the Okanagan for a holiday,” said the 19-year-old Hull, who joins Stephen Hochstein, 17, of the Pincher Creek Mustangs as new linebackers in Kelowna. Said Beatty: “Hull is a rangy linebacker, a bit light right now, like Stephen. But he is another kid who came in and played bigger than what his size indicates he would be able to do.” Corde Delinte, an 18-year-old from Pincher Creek, was a multi-position
player in Alberta high school but makes the full-time switch to safety this season. Beatty on Delinte: “Corde came in and did a good job at camp. He has some room to grow physically in the next year or two but I see a lot of potential in him. He can play safety or corner for us as well. That will be big in the long run.” Tyler Deighton, 18, kicked for Chinook Coyotes in Lethbridge last year. He is a converted soccer player, whose family has only been in Canada from England since 2006 (Deighton only played football his last two years of high school). Beatty on Deighton: “Tyler did a good job at camp. At first I was a little skeptical because he had been out of high school and he came in a bit cold on Saturday. But on Sunday he came in and did great, well over 40-yard range in field goals. Plus he is a good punter as well so getting someone who can do both is huge.” The Sun season kicks off Saturday, July 27 versus the Valley Huskers of Chilliwack at the Apple Bowl.

Rockets ground Kickers Morning Star Staff
The Green Rockets brushed back the Chick Kickers OMG 4-1 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 2 play Thursday night at Marshall Field #4. Casi Stanley, Shauna Hagen, Amanda Hackman and Natalie Forster scored for the Rockets, who got a stellar showing from Brittany Chase. “The team keeps on getting better at their skills and working together,” said Dana Dimmick of the Rockets. “For a team who only started playing together this season, and are still learning each other’s names, I am very impressed with how well we are playing together.” In men’s 50+ action, Mike Lloyd returned from injured reserve to dial up a deuce as Kal Tire clipped West Kelowna 3-2 at Marshall #3. Lloyd converted on a penalty kick
to make it 1-1 early in the second half after Ben Vos fooled Tiremen keeper Roger Irving in the 24th minute. Irving moved to striker in the second half and drew a foul for the penalty kick. He buried the 2-2 equalizer on a great second effort. West Kelowna had gone up when Jindro Vilimek buried a penalty kick past Rob Parkin. Lloyd netted the winner on a partial breakaway, outmuscling a defender and going low. Jenne Huberts drew the assist. Lloyd was named the Telus Man of the Match. The Silver Stars and Kelowna Kickers battled to a scoreless draw at Marshall #5. Burnley Fish & Chips Man of the Match Dave Gould was spectacular in net for the Stars as the Kickers pressed hard most of the night. Bob Oldfield, who recently got his Canadian papers, was bold on the back line.

to go about seeking collegiate experience.” Webster also served as a bullpen catcher/manager with Team Canada under head coach Lori Sippel from 2005-08. “I also did the District 9 head coaching job a few years back, 2006, which I loved. It was a great opportunity to work with coaches on how to make practices efficient and fun. Getting players to stay involved and participate is the ultimate goal. Our sport only lives as long as there are people to play. “My love for the game all started for me here in Vernon and now I am home. My schedule would not allow for me to take on a full-time coaching responsibility. However, softball is in my blood and I would love to find my way back to the field.”

Ashley Burch rolls a rubber ball towards home plate. Kids taken turns kicking and then running around the bases. They smile the whole time and then throw tennis balls against the backstop at Grahame Park. A few minutes later, the youngsters grab a tennis racket and feel their way around swinging at a ball. It’s all part of the Under 10 (Learn to Play) program for kids showing an interest in softball. Ann Holmes, a longtime area softball co-ordinator, runs the program with Burch and Gary Ortman as main instructors. Parents also help to provide a strong coach-to-athlete ratio. Most of the kids at the free Thursday 5:30-6:30 p.m. sessions are under six. Two-year-old southpaw Rawley Ortman is already throwing a decent ball to his dad. “Traditionally, at the five-10-year-old level, coaches are moms and dads with little or no coaching experience,” said Holmes. “The Learn to Play Program is designed to be easily implemented by a volunteer coach. The manuals contain lesson plans with progressions for teaching basic skills, and lead-up games.” Holmes says the program is designed to address the common characteristics of children while introducing softball in a revolutionary way. “It ensures children have fun while improving their fitness level and developing their skills,” said Holmes. “We will be participating in a variety of activities and lead-up games that will give childen more opportunities to touch the ball and develop the necessary basic skills to enjoy the game. The activities are fun and short in duration and will prepare children for more advanced competition later in life.” The lead up games are patterned after informal playground games. The learn to play is nationally recognized and approved. A special clinic will run Thursday, June 3 with former Kansas Wesleyan University Coyotes’ starting catcher Michelle Webster as guest coach.

The Fulton Maroons were down two tries before they knew it and never recovered in a 34-13 loss to the Rick Hansen Hurricanes of Abbotsford. Mike Scheller’s Maroons closed the gap to 19-13 by halftime of their B.C. Senior AA Boys Rugby Championship opener Friday in Kelowna, but the No. 10 ranked Hansen pulled away after the break. “Rick Hansen is a good team with a very distinct size advantage over us,” said Scheller. “They have some very skilled players and they run hard. “I was proud of the way our guys rebounded after a bad 10 minutes. We clawed back and our guys showed a lot of fight.” Scoring tries for the No. 7 seeded Maroons were game MVP Layne Greene and Ryan Buick. Greene added a penalty. Flanker Dan Eustache, who was a force all over the field, eight-man Austin Richardson, prop Tanner Bishop and fullback Caleb McCuiag all delivered solid efforts for Fulton. Meanwhile, the No. 9 Kalamalka Lakers battled the No. 8 G.W. Graham Grizzlies of Chilliwack, and the No. 12 Vernon Panthers faced the No. 5 Heritage Park Highlanders of Mission, Saturday at Parkinson Rec Fields in Kelowna. Round 2 of provincials starts Wednesday at Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford.

The Family of Frank and Gil Flasch are excited to announce their up and coming 60th wedding anniversary May 28, 2013. Frank and Gil met in 1951 in North Battleford, Sask. through friends, while Frank worked in a local garage and Gil in the local hospital. They became engaged Dec. 23, 1952 and married May 28, 1953 in Jackfish, Sask., where Gil was raised. They remained living in North Battleford for one year and that’s where their first-born boy was born in 1954. Later they moved onto St. Paul, Alta. where their two girls came along and joined their family. It was in St. Paul that Frank took his plumbing and gas fitting apprenticeship in the St. Paul School in Calgary. In 1954 they moved back to North Battleford due to an illness in their family. It was there where two more boys joined the family, making it complete. It was 1966 and times were hard. Many people had to leave their hometowns and families for better job opportunities, as work was hard to find. It was then that Frank managed to obtain work out of province at OK Plumbing and Heating here in Vernon. He and Gil packed up their young family, all their belongings, and with a trailer pulled behind them they headed west for B.C., away from everyone and all that was familiar to them. The travel out here was an adventure: three provinces to go through with five kids ranging in age from five to 12 on the road. They had frequent stops along the way, which was a good thing because they had their freezer in tow, and it was loaded with food. When ever they hit a roadside stop they managed to plug it in so that the food wouldn’t spoil on their journey. They enjoyed Vernon when they arrived, and settled in nicely. They felt they couldn’t have found a better place to live because of all the area had to offer them. They’d met so many good people, whom they became very dear friends with through the years, for which there are just too many to mention. After a while they bought their very first home in the BX area where they raised their family. In 1972 when their youngest was 12, Gil went back to the work force and took a position in central sterilization at Vernon Jubilee Hospital where she loved her work and remained until her retirement in 1992. In 1980 Frank left OK Plumbing and Heating to work in wholesale for the company until his retirement in 1991, although for those who know him and as his family maintains, “He never did retire,” and still remains very busy to this day.
Gil and Frank Flasch celebrate 60 years. For the most part the years were very happy years for their family, but sad times hit as they often do in life, when they lost their youngest son Rick to an accident in 1977 and then again years later when they lost their oldest son Daniel in 1991. These were devastating times for them and their whole family. They got through it with the support and love of their friends and family, and they relied heavily on their faith. They began to heal, and moved on with their life and started traveling south to warmer weather destinations for winter. In 1983 they built a log cabin on Okanagan Lake, (which remains a work in progress to this day). They’ve spent many happy summers there with family and friends, building memories for all, that will last a lifetime. As the family grows, the vacation spot also grows. It’s been a real labor of love where they have enjoyed many happy occasions. While Frank spends his time upgrading the family cabin with his daughter Fran and son-in-law Shane, Gil enjoys quilting and canning, which to the family’s enjoyment she likes to share with them all. They are both still very active in the community playing cards, bowling and spending many hours volunteering at the Schubert Centre, St. James Church, and with the Knights of Columbus. Their family has been and always will be the most important part of their lives. They get much enjoyment from watching their family grow and experiencing all the changes that the new additions to the

family bring. They are very grateful that they are able to partake in their family life during vacation times at their cabin on the lake. Their family has grown substantially since that beautiful day in May, and in their words, “Have brought them nothing but joy.” Their children would tell them, they’ve given them a really good life. Job well done, Frank and Gil, congratulations, and we wish you many more happy times together. Their remaining children and their families celebrate with them in knowing that their lives have been happy and full, and love has blossomed: children Dave (Anna), Joanne (Don), Fran (Shane), nine grandchildren Troy (Chantelle), Carly (Jay), Cassie (Mike), Trisha (Jeff), Crystal, Jayden, Coral (Luc), Nathan and Sandy, and eight great-grandchildren, Halle, Jason, Dezirae, Dayla, Emma, Sophie, Riven, Reef. The Flasch’s celebrated their anniversary with a renewal of their wedding vows May 19 at St. James Roman Catholic Church, during the 8:30 Mass. (Written by Sherry Lynn Morrical)
Seminars offer guidance in leaving a legacy Morning Star Staff
All are welcome to attend a free estate planning seminar this week hosted by Vernon Christian School (VCS). Experts from Advisors With Purpose (AWP) will guide participants on how to redirect money to charities of your choice that would otherwise go to Revenue Canada. “For those who have a lifetime pattern of giving, it is natural to include charity in your estate plan,” said Corinne Remple, marketing and communications coordinator for the school. “AWP is a Christian organization of financial professionals who will
help you to understand how you can leave a legacy with eternal significance.” An information session will be held May 30 at 9:30 a.m. at Grace Bible Church and June 3 at Vernon Christian School Secondary Campus at 7 p.m. Register at lastinglegacy@vcs.ca or ask to be put on a notification list for details about future estate planning seminars hosted by VCS. “These seminars are not fundraisers for the school, but are designed to inform you about tax-planning tools.”

ONE MORE REBID PROBLEM FOR OPENER Bob Woodward, an investigative journalist who is an associate editor for The Washington Post, said, “The central dilemma in journalism is that you don’t know what you don’t know.” South might believe he faces a dilemma in this deal. He opens one club, which might be with only a threecard suit. When his partner responds one heart, should he rebid two clubs to confirm that he has a real club suit, or one spade to show his major? For experienced players, this is not a dilemma. They love majors and dislike minors. South must rebid one spade. (If he rebids two clubs, he categorically
denies a four-card major.) If North does not raise spades, South can bid clubs again on the next round to show his length in that suit. Then, North has enough to raise to two spades, which promises four-card support. South re-evaluates and jumps to four spades, hoping in particular to establish and run his club suit. West leads the diamond king. When East signals encouragingly with the 10, West continues the suit. How should South play after ruffing the third diamond? Declarer should realize that a club discard on dummy’s heart king is a red herring. Instead, he should play to establish his club suit. The best line is to cash the club ace, play two rounds

of trumps ending on the board, and lead another club. If East follows, South should put up his king, although if that is then ruffed, he will go down. Bridge often involves some guesswork. Here, East does best to discard, but South wins, ruffs a club in the dummy, and must end with 10 tricks.

The art of speaking in French Morning Star Staff
Anyone who fears public speaking knows the terror that can strike when faced with an audience. But for kids who take part in Concours d’Art Oratoire, they have an extra worry: giving a speech in a second language. Concours is a public speaking event sponsored and organized by Canadian Parents for French, a grassroots notfor-profit organization that is committed to working toward French education and French socio-cultural experiences for Canadian schoolchildren. “Concours d’Art Oratoire is an excellent academic opportunity that sees students researching, writing and presenting a speech entirely in French,” said Bridget Trainor, Vernon CPF Chapter president. “Through the support of teachers, administrators, parents and local CPF volunteers, Vernon French immersion students have been making these speeches for more than 20 years.” This year, 900 Vernon students participated in Concours d’Art Oratoire, the largest number to date. Beairsto students have been working on their Concours speeches over the past several weeks. They must research, write and present their speeches.
“I am so very proud of Maddy. She has worked so hard this year and truly deserves the recognition.” — Karyn Jantz “Teachers and administrators are very supportive of this excellent academic endeavour,” said Trainor. “Nine hundred French immersion students from Vernon participated. Up the street at Harwood elementary school, where the district’s late French immersion program is located, students excelled in this year’s Concours. Grade 7 late French immersion student Maddy Moss not only shone at school and regionally but she won the provincial Concours in Vancouver. “This was a first in the late French immersion history in Vernon,” said her teacher, Karyn Jantz. “I am so very proud of Maddy and her accomplishment. She has worked so hard this year and truly deserves the recognition. “The thought of doing a memorized speech of three to
five minutes, in a foreign language, in front of my peers, then their families, then at a provincial level, seems daunting. And yet, year after year these students rise to the challenge and succeed.” For French immersion students who want to keep up their language skills throughout the summer, Canadian Parents for French also offers a number of summer camps in French. Please go to www.cpf.bc.ca for information on how to register your child — or the whole family — for a fun summer camp. nnn Canadian Parents for French began in the mid-1960s when a few Anglophone parents in St. Lambert, Que. decided their children would be better off knowing both English and French, in a public school setting. They soon realized they didn’t have all the tools required to support their children, who also needed to be exposed to French outside the classroom. In 1977, CPF was born. The following year, a branch opened up in B.C. to support students in immersion programs, which had begun in 1968. In 1999 there were 29,979 French immersion students enrolled in B.C. By 2012, there were 45,324.

Special to The Morning Star
In mid April of 1993 I was at a funeral of a dear friend I had known since kindergarten. He had died in a car accident, which affected us all greatly. At the time, some of us were still recovering from the news of a friend who had committed suicide just the month before. I remember standing in the living room at a friend’s who lived near the cemetery, where we

y grandfather lived near Lake Huron and Ipperwash Army Camp when we were kids. He was a carpenter and often did work at the camp preparing the buildings for the busy summer of cadets. One year he bought an old army tent from them and we put it up in the Pinery Provincial Camp for a month. The other month it spent in our back yard. I was one of six kids and an army tent allowed all of us to sleep in the same space; prior to that we had a couple of tents. Back in the day they didn’t make the big tents like they do now and the army tent was perfect. It was very thick tan canvas, with sturdy rope ties and a large pole that stood in the middle. The light inside always had a warm glow from the sun hitting the canvas. We could in reality sleep a dozen in there and often did as we were often bringing friends with us. We had a

variety of sleeping mats, thin mattresses and air beds that easily deflated, keeping us up off the ground. At nine you didn’t concern yourself with a sore back from sleeping. The tent was many things, a theatre for our grand productions that we staged in the backyard of our home. Mostly the back drop for the grand entrances we made onto our platform for these neighbourhood sell outs. We were dramatic, we were creative, we were free! It was also an army camp base for our war games, a hospital for the wounded soldiers, a school, a retreat. A wonderful place to read a book on a lazy afternoon. We were unplugged. When we became parents, Gord and I bought a big tent as well, as both of us had wonderful memories of family camping trips. Even if they weren’t totally wonderful, in our storage vaults they were.

pillows so that you would just want to flop down and sleep, or read a book, and big enough for the four of us to do so. The kids needed the most room as they both needed to turn sideways in their slumber. I loved having the boys curled up on each side, reading books, telling ghost stories, sharing their daily adventures. The Taj Mahal also spent many summers in my sister’s backyard when she lived on Okanagan Lake. It was our weekend home. It also was the army base, hospital, space ship, tent on Mt. Everest or whatever it needed to be to fit into the play of two young boys. I loved camping, and we were able to do some wonderful trips to Lake O’Hara, enjoying the rain and the wonderful camaraderie of great people. Spectrum Lake, Mabel lake, Sugar Lake, Ellison, were all great times. The boys also went to Educo Adventure camp which is a fabulous camp that

My sister had bought a new tent as well, and she put hers up and we admired what a great size it was. We then put up the Taj Mahal beside hers. It was big, it was great! When we car camped we took the Taj Mahal. I could put a king size air bed into it, and have space along the side for all the gear we brought or needed in the tent. I loved that tent! We created a wonderful space inside with lots of quilts and
Crisis Line needs volunteers to answer the call Morning Star Staff
The PIN Crisis Line has operated without interruption 24 hours a day since it opened in 1975. But it can’t do it without the dedicated volunteers who answer the phone. Volunteers are needed to sign up for the next Crisis Line training session beginning this week. “This volunteer experience is invaluable for everyone who takes part, whether you are a student, work in the helping field or an individual who finds it rewarding to help people in need of emotional support, community resources or crisis intervention,” said Sharon Durant, education and program support coordinator. “It is excellent for communication skills building.” In 2000, the People In Need Crisis Intervention Society celebrated 30 years of continuous 24-hour service. That year service was enhanced to the Revelstoke and Shuswap areas by providing local toll-free telephone numbers to allow easy access for callers to the Crisis Line. In May of 2011 the Vernon Crisis Line became a member of the Distress Line Network and began answering calls on the provincial 1-800-SUICIDE phone line. In the past few years the Crisis Line has received between 4,000 and 4,500 calls per year. “The credit for this must be given to the hun-

I would highly recommend. This summer, get your family outside as much as possible. I have always felt that being able to go for a hike, sit on a mountaintop, by a babbling brook or the lake shore, helps to ground us. Unplug and listen to the sounds around. Our children will benefit from our “dragging” them outside to connect with nature. The iPad is amazing but doesn’t come close to the unstoppable wonder of British Columbia’s natural beauty.

A partnership that benefits artists Mackie Lake House artist-in-residence James Postill shows his work at Vernon Public Art Gallery Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
In 2012, the Vernon Public Art Gallery held an exhibition and an artist talk featuring the Mackie Lake House’s then artist-in-residence Joyce Devlin. The residency and exhibition has become an ongoing event, and the partnership between the two organizations is benefitting artists — both local and visiting. “The Mackie Lake House offers the artist the space and time to create, and the VPAG offers the artist exhibition space and if needed, working space,” said Christine Kashuba, Mackie house manager. This year is no exception as the Mackie house’s current artist-in-residence, James Postill, is about to show his work at the VPAG in the show Hidden Treasures. Postill, who is from the VernonColdstream area, is exploring interiors and landscapes, investigating surface and light and their expressions. “As it always has, the Coldstream Valley will provide abundant inspiration for me to explore and produce landscapes, mainly on canvas, boards, and rag paper,” he said. The purpose of the Mackie Lake House artist-in-residence program is to foster the discourse and production of
visual arts by providing artists a place to pursue their artistic discipline in a tranquil location away from their normal busy life, said Kashuba. “The program was made possible through the generosity of Patrick (Paddy) Fylton Mackie, who established and funded the Mackie Lake House Foundation,” she said. “Mackie was a patron of the arts and a gifted artist in his own right and the artist-in-residence program was established in his memory.” Since the artist-in-residence program began in 2010, participating artists have included Angie Francis, Edie McIntyre, and Joyce Devlin, and each has been asked to leave at least one piece of art at the home. With the inclusion of the VPAG exhibition, the residency hopes to bring in more artists and their talents to the community. Postill’s Hidden Treasures opens Thursday at the VPAG along with three other exhibitions, Julia Prudhomme’s Just Passing Through, UBCO’s BFA graduation exhibition Continuum, and West Kelowna artist Petula Pettman’s Flowers and Tears. Opening reception with all the artists is from 6 to 8 p.m. Postill will also give an artist’s talk at the VPAG June 8 at 1 p.m. The Mackie Lake House is also hosting a reception for Postill June 2 at 2 p.m. “You will have the opportunity to meet James, talk with him about his work, and see the source of inspiration for his exhibition Hidden Treasures,” said Kashuba. The Mackie Lake House is located at 7804 Kidston Rd., Coldstream. For more information, visit www.mackiehouse.ca.

Armstrong gallery to show retrospective and digital photo art Morning Star Staff
The Armstrong Spallumcheen Art Gallery holds its second art opening of the season with two exhibitions; one a retrospective by the late Jack and Betty Hamer; the other a show called Digital Composites by Spallumcheen-based photographer Michael Sturdy. “It is shaping up to be a very interesting and exciting show,” said art gallery administrator Sherry MacFarlane. “Jack and Betty are gone now but their daughter, Gayl Hamer Findlay, is presenting the show in their honour.” Entitled Jack and Betty Hamer: A Retrospective, 1940 to 1990, the exhibition features paintings by the married couple, who were both born in Yorkshire, England. Jack graduated from the Halifax School of Art in England with a diploma in fine arts, textile design and colour and was later employed by his father, a dyer at a carpet manufacturer in the north of England. He married Betty, who worked in a textile design studio, in 1939 and they soon immigrated to Canada, where Jack continued his career in the Brinton Carpet Company in Peterborough, Ont. “He eventually became the head carpet designer at Brinton, where his commercial artwork included major contract carpet designs for clients including the CP Hotels in Western
submitted
the armstrong spallumcheen art Gallery is showing a retrospective of artwork by former ontario residents Jack and Betty Hamer. Canada and the Royal York in Toronto,” said Hamer Findlay. “At this time he began to pursue his passion for painting fine art, working in oils, watercolour and pastels.” Jack became a founding member of the Peterborough Group of Painters and exhibited
with Royal Canadian Academy and Ontario Society of Artists in annual juried shows. Along with raising their children, Betty was a full-time painter and ballet teacher. “Her medium was pen and ink as well as oils and tapestries,” said Hamer Findlay. “Her first abstract painting was in 1962, and she participated in many exhibitions.” Those included both a joint exhibition, with Jack, and a solo exhibition, Stitched Hangings, in 1985 at the Art Gallery of Peterborough. Currently on display in Vernon’s Bean Scene Coffee House, Sturdy’s Digital Composites is moving to the Armstrong Spallumcheen Art Gallery in time for Thursday’s opening, Born in Vancouver before it was a large metropolitan city, Sturdy has always been attracted to taking pictures, from his first “Brownie” camera to his latest digital model. For years he walked the waterfront of Vancouver, where he developed his eye for images. He worked on a Norwegian freighter in his early 20s, visiting many locales that helped to develop his desire to capture images for others to enjoy. Sturdy’s photography spans the decades. A photographer for Habitat for Humanity in 1976 and for CBC News in Vancouver, he photographed early New Democratic Party politicians such as Tommy Douglas,
Ed Broadbent, and Stephen Lewis, and also former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and his then wife Margaret during their heyday in the ‘70s. His pictures of performing artists appeared on the CBC during the ‘70s and ‘80s. Since retiring from the CBC, Sturdy has built a collection of photographs from locations in the U.S., Mexico, Cuba and other Caribbean islands. He now uses his digital images to create large murals and collages that are said to be both beautiful and thoughtprovoking. “Each mural or collage can contain over 100 images that create one picture, but takes the viewer to a different perspective each time they view them,” said Sturdy’s wife Cyndy. Besides the Bean Scene, some of those images recently appeared in the group exhibition, Animal Crossing, at the Brew Gallery in Vernon’s Bean to Brew Coffee House, as well as at the Vernon Public Art Gallery. Sturdy’s art can also be viewed at www. sturdyart.com. Opening reception for both exhibitions is Thursday from 7 to 9 p.m. The shows run to June 22. Gallery hours are Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information call the gallery at 250-546-8318, or visit www. ArmstrongSpallMuseumArt.com.

he crew of the Enterprise are back for their second installment of the latest reincarnation of the Star Trek franchise, directed by J.J. Abrams. This time out, the inexperienced Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) must travel to the edge of the neutral zone, hunting down a powerful terrorist hiding on the Klingon world, Kronos. The Enterprise crew Paramount Pictures face multiple enemies, Zachary Quinto is Spock and Chris Pine is Captain Kirk in Star Trek: Into Darkness. conflicting orders and unknown technologies Yet, in the end, I felt it haven’t seen it yet, part they spent quite a bit that will not only test became a bit 3, Austin Powers 2 and of time in the first film their allegiancsilly, as if it 3, Batman 3 to just give setting up the characes, but their wasn’t taking examples.

TAYLOR: He is a good bad guy and it was exciting to see a blast from the past. The jokes came as fast as the action in this film, which I think takes the film into cute territory. This again, harkens back to the only problem I have with this film, it is too much fun. HOWE: The overall effects looked pretty amazing, but there was two or three seconds of film when a small spacecraft was escaping that looked like it had been stolen from a ‘70s TV show. Other than that I couldn’t really fault the film. It kept me entertained from start to finish and I can’t wait for the next installment. — Taylor gives it 4 space bars out of 5. — Howe gives it 4 shields up out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Weekday
Culture at home
M
y idea of a perfect vacation rarely involves the word travel. I’m among those who prefer to stay within a few hours of home, seldom longing for the great open road. Whether it’s a plane, car, bus or otherwise, the less time I spend in some form of motorized metal box, the better. Despite my inherent indifference towards travel, I do have a deep appreciation for enriching my life through cultural experiences. Lucky for non-globetrotters like me, the Brian van Wensem arts have a way of bringing culture a little closer to our doorstep. Events happening in the valley in the coming weeks provide an abundance of culture – all of which can be enjoyed without the fuss of packing a suitcase. This afternoon is a celebration of Ukrainian culture at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre as the Sadok Ukrainian Dance Ensemble presents the 2013 Okanagan Ukrainian Festival. Enjoy brilliant colours, culture and drama rolled into a spirited afternoon of Ukrainian dance. This year’s special guests are the Dolyna Ukrainian Dancers of Kelowna. The fun starts at 2 p.m., and tickets are still on sale online at www.ticketseller.ca, or at the door after 1 p.m. The Plumes Ensemble is a crossover group that blends classical music grace, indie-pop catchiness and vocal chamber music to create pieces that are sophisticated while keeping the vocals fresh and innocent. With its assortment of harp, strings, brass and woodwinds, this group of young musicians is performing live at the Armstrong Inn
Centre Point
Must get tickets to the show I read about in Live Wire!
on Sunday, June 2 starting at 7 p.m. Tickets are on sale now through the Ticket Seller box office at 549SHOW (7469). The Louisiana Hayride has delighted Vernon audiences with their stylized tribute concerts throughout the valley and beyond.

Featuring the same cast, Legends brings new songs and stories to stage for an evening of nostalgia. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. and tickets are on sale through the Ticket Seller by calling 549-SHOW (7469). Also on June 5, Full Frontal Improv is hosting another high energy night of theatre improv at The Hub Arts Collective. Anything and everything is fodder as the actors play with any subject matter in this unpredictable evening of laughter and audience participation. The fun starts at 8 p.m. and tickets are on sale through the Ticket Seller by calling 549-SHOW (7469). And coming up the weekend of June 8, Vernon will be the place to be for arts and crafts enthusiasts. On June 7 and 8 in the Performing Arts Centre foyer, you’ll find the Okanagan Potters Association’s annual pottery sale. The same weekend, June 7 through 9, also brings the 38th annual Creative Chaos, with more than 200 vendors, a food faire, and live performers in the Vernon Recreation Complex’ three buildings. Admission is free and the selection of things to see and do will not disappoint.

Arts Seaton receives Band Aid Secondary school bands get to perform along with Colin James as part of MusiCounts Morning Star Staff
Six-time Juno Award winner Colin James will join the festivities in Kelowna Wednesday celebrating 2013 MusiCounts Band Aid recipients, which includes W.L. Seaton. The Vernon secondary school was among the recipients, receiving $10,000. The celebration, taking place at École KLO Middle School Wednesday at 1 p.m., will feature a collaboration performance that will include senior jazz band members from each school. James will treat the audience to a special performance as well. The celebration will recognize the support that MusiCounts has received from Vista Radio and 103.9 The Juice. Over the course of the last two years, Vista Radio and The Juice 103.9 have donated $40,000 to support MusiCounts’ Band Aid grant program. On top of this, Vista has graciously signed on to invest more than $270,000 into MusiCounts’ Band Aid grant program over the course of nine years. To date, nearly $700,000 worth of Band Aid grants and scholarships have been awarded in B.C., with $130,000 of them being awarded this year alone. MusiCounts, Canada’s music education charity associated with the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) and the Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA), is helping to keep music alive in schools across Canada. MusiCounts’ mission is to ensure that children in Canada, regardless of socio-economic circumstances or cultural background, have access to music programs through their schools. MusiCounts includes Band Aid musical instrument grants, the MusiCounts Teacher of
the Year Award, scholarships and other music education initiatives. Since the program’s

Capsule Comments with
TOM NOLAN
When you eat a meal, it takes about 4 hours for the food to move into the large intestine. Some people say that some food give them gas. This gas is formed in the large intestine, so that bowl of chili you had for lunch could be causing you gas at supper. Teen acne can be an embarrassing problem but it can be treated. Seeing the doctor may not be necessary at first. Gently washing the skin with mild soap and water and applying benzoyl peroxide can be effective. Our pharmacists can show you what’s available. If home treatment doesn’t work, see your doctor. As your pharmacist, we keep a record of all your medications and note any allergies or sensitivities you have had to certain drugs in the past. When you have an adverse reaction to a medication, let us know so we can record it. It helps us prevent any such reactions occurring in the future. We dispense medications in child-resistant containers. However, this doesn’t mean they are child-proof. Keep all medications out of the reach of children and try not to take medication in front of young children. If you have problems opening these safety-capped vials, let us know and we can give you another type. After meals? On an empty stomach? With water? Can I have a drink of alcohol with this medication? How long should I take it? These are some of the many questions you should know the answer to before you leave the pharmacy. Our pharmacists will make sure you know these answers.

Grey Canal brews up national fourth Graeme Corbett Morning Star Staff
Stewart McWilliam is a coffee geek, and proud of it. Connoisseur might be a more apt description of the 23-year-old owner of Grey Canal Coffee, who recently claimed fourth place in the second annual Canadian Brewers Cup Championship in Ottawa. The Duncan native became eligible for the six-person competition after winning the B.C. Interior Brewers and Tasters Cup hosted by Red Beard Roasters, in Kamloops, in April. McWilliam entered a Colombian-grown brew called La Palmera at nationals. It was roasted by Drumroaster Coffee in Cobble Hill, which is where he was first introduced to the art of the aromatic bean. “Through being a dishwasher they showed me coffee in a different way – brewing espresso, brewing V60s, brewing French — Stewart presses. It got my attention,” said McWilliam, who now lives in Lumby and works part-time with youth through Young Life Canada. “There’s flavours in coffee you can develop through the roasting, and we’re trying to pick out the best coffees we can find. We’re more of a coffee curator.” McWilliam said the way in which coffee is brewed is just as important as the beans themselves. At nationals, he used an Aeropress (similar to a French press, but without the metal sieve). And of all the fancy coffee-making contraptions on the market, McWilliam uses one of the most simple brewing devices available – the Hario V60 – when he sets up shop Mondays and Thursdays at the Vernon Farmers’ Market. The V60 sounds more like a supercharged sports car than a coffee maker, and in truth,
the term coffee maker might even be a stretch for what it really is. The V60 is basically a gravity-pour cone with spiralling ridges that, as McWilliam puts it: “help the water flow faster through the coffee so it doesn’t over-extract the coffee.” To listen to McWilliam describe the qualities in coffee is akin to hearing a sommelier talk about wine. Every brew is different, each with its own distinct flavours. McWilliam is a big fan of beans grown in Africa, Ethiopia in particular. “They generally have a nice strawberry jam and toasty kind of flavour to them, and a nice mouth feel. But Colombia right now is actually getting their game up with processing their coffee.” When McWilliam moved to the North Okanagan, he began working with local coffee companies to get his game up before opening Grey Canal. He uses McWilliam the company to showcase quality roasting companies from all over B.C. and Alberta. He even offers a custom delivery service for added convenience. McWilliam said the coffee competition was simply a natural progression, and also a great way to boost his profile. “I just kept growing my repertoire as a barista and just thought ‘It would be fun to compete.’” The Ottawa showdown turned out to be a terrific learning experience for McWilliam as well. Just when thought he had his process perfected, he stumbled upon a new brewing technique. “There’s this thing called sifting now,” he said. “When you grind coffee, there’s fines that come through in the grind, so they sift all the fines out to get the over-extracted flavour out of the coffee. “It leaves you with a cleaner, crisper coffee. It’s more defined.”
“We’re more of a coffee curator.”

Looking beyond mortgage rates
ortgage rates are low right now, but if recent reports are accurate, they may be going up sooner rather than later. While a low interest rate is always good, there are other important factors you should consider before signing on the dotted line. Flexible mortgages – Look for one that includes the option of changing payment frequency, or increasing the amount of your monthly payments without a fee. By making accelerated and/or lump-sum payments you’ll pay off your mortgage faster and save on interest costs. Andy Erickson Mortgage lenders usually allow a yearly lump-sum payment of up to 15 per cent of the origi-
Guest Column
nal principal amount. Portable mortgages – Mortgages usually have an amortization period of 25 years, with a typical term of five years, but you can get one that offers the option to move that mortgage from one property to another. If you think your new home will not be your last home, mortgage portability is an option you should consider. Assumable mortgages – Another mortgage option to look for if you intend to ‘move on’ is assumability, which allows you to transfer your existing mortgage to the new owner of the property you’ve sold. This can save on prepayment charges for ending your mortgage before it matures. Re-advance options – This option allows you to obtain a ‘re-advance’ of funds up to the original registered amount of your existing mortgage. Beware of ‘low rate’ promotions – Advertised promo-
tions for low mortgage rates often come with strict repayment options, and steep repayment charges if you need to exit the mortgage term prior to its maturity date. Cash back mortgages – These mortgages offer a cash rebate (usually three to five per cent of the principal) but if you don’t stay with the lender for the full amortization term, the cash back amount may need to be repaid, either in part or in full. Don’t jump into a mortgage. Instead, work through your mortgage requirements with a professional advisor and legal advisor to ensure you get the best mortgage product for your financial needs.

Destination British Columbia released numbers on international visitors to the province for February. The total number of Americans coming that month was 239,942, which is a 3.8 per cent drop from the same month last year. Overnight U.S. visitors actually increased by 3.2 per cent, but sameday visits went down 12.8 per cent. On the bright side, Pacific/Asian visitors were up a whopping 21.5 per cent over the same month in 2012. Leading the charge were the Chinese (up 91.1 per cent) followed by Hong Kong (76.3 per cent) and Taiwan (58.5 per cent).

Vernon’s General Paint has helped spruce things up at the local St. John Ambulance office on 47th Avenue. The building is where St. John conducts firstaid training, and it was in desperate need of a lick of paint. The walls were getting battered and the colours were more suited to a previous era. The problem, as with most charitable organizations, was finding a way to pay for it. Jo-Ann Johnston, the local therapy dog program facilitator, approached General Paint, and they quickly agreed to help out by providing a substantial discount on the cost of paint. They also helped to round up a suitable contractor to carry out the work. St. John branch chair Bill Musselwhite presented an Award of Thanks to General Paint at the organization’s AGM on May 1. “Companies that care about their communities make it possible for so many volunteers to do the work they do to help improve people’s lives,” said Musselwhite. “St. John Ambulance gives so much to the community that we don’t have much left over for things like building revitalization projects, so the help of companies like General Paint makes such a difference.” More than 100 volunteers participate in several St. John Ambulance programs throughout the North Okanagan and Shuswap region. The local chapter is part of the worldwide Order of St. John, the oldest known charity with a history of more than 900 years. For more information on St. John Ambulance programs, call the local office at 250-545-4200.

Since creating Potion Tattoo Aftercare, Janice Lenius of Cherryville’s Earth Elements Farm Products has been waiting to find the right tattoo artist. She discovered one in Saskatchewan of all places. In a serendipitous occurrence, Lenius came across Ben Moote, who, along with wife Kristen, had been Googling Cherryville as a potential place to reside. They learned about Lenius’ business on a community website (www.cherryville.net), and soon a business connection was formed and Potion Tattoo opened in Lumby. “The overall support and friendship in this community has by far been the greatest I have experienced, and I am looking forward to building a positive future for my family here,” said Ben, who grew up in Saskatoon, but lived in the Okanagan from 2006-10, including a stint in Lumby.

News Clark pushing to pass book-balancing budget this summer Tom FleTcher Black Press
Premier Christy Clark says the B.C. legislature will be recalled this summer to pass the government’s pre-election budget, which promises to balance the books after four years of deficits. Clark spoke to a gathering of B.C. Liberal candidates at a Vancouver hotel Thursday, including those who didn’t join the 50-member caucus. Thanking the unsuccessful ones, she reminded them that she too lost her bid to win a Christy Clark
seat in Vancouver-Point Grey. Clark indicated earlier that the legislature would not be recalled until she has a seat, which would require a by-election. She has said several B.C. Liberal MLAs have offered to step aside to give her a seat, but the decision won’t be made until the final vote tally is in for all 85 constituencies at the end of May. Preliminary results of the May 14 election have the B.C. Liberals with 50 seats, the NDP 33 and the Green Party one. Delta South independent Vicki Huntington was also reelected. Clark renewed her campaign promises to press for the development of liquefied natural gas in northern B.C., to restrict government spending and “find labour peace in our
classrooms” while beginning to pay down the growing provincial debt. Clark told reporters after the speech that the election result gives her a mandate to pursue a 10-year agreement with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, with contract talks with the school districts’ bargaining agent set to resume next week. “There will be calls to spend money,” Clark said. “For the next little while, our answer to most of those questions has to be no, not now.” With several municipal council members elected as B.C. Liberal MLAs, Clark said they have the option to take unpaid leave from their council duties rather than resign and trigger local by-elections.

Yohoho for some great hikes jane cassie Special To The Morning Star
B.C. — It’s 10 a.m. and I’m chilling out in a camp chair. Although my eyes are at half mast, I hear the roar of nearby rapids. We’ve just driven Roger’s Pass, the jawdropping, two-hour route, hemmed in by snow-cloaked mountains, that links Glacier National to Golden. And from our Kicking Horse campsite in Yoho National Park, I haven’t a care in the world. Rising in splendor and hovering above our home-on-wheels
are those granite beauties we’ve come here to climb. The Rockies — just hearing the name gets our hiking boots excited. “Want an easy one today?” my husband, Brent, asks while scouring the trail map. “We can circumnavigate Emerald Lake without raising our heart rates.” The 5.2-kilometre route rims this glacial pool and during the two-hour interpretive trek we’d also get a geology lesson; we’d find out who discovered fossils in the nearby Burgess

Shale, what the impact is of a raging avalanche and how the alluvial fan will eventually fill in this lake. Although this amble is backed by notable mounds and we’d be rewarded afterwards with a treat at the shoreline restaurant, a few uphillers catch my eye. “This national has 30 peaks that are over 3,000 meters,” I respond, while viewing routes that lead away from this serene shoreline. “I’m actually pumped for a little elevation today.” A steep five-hour hoof will get us to Hamilton Lake, and en route we’d get kissed by waterfalls. Or we could head to Yoho Pass. Thanks to swaying switchbacks, the grade is easier. But because it’s 12 kilometres one way, they recommend shuttling it back –which isn’t possible with our pup. “What about Emerald Basin,” Brent suggests. “The trailhead is at the far end of the lake, so we can walk the perimeter too.” A dry creek bed connects us from the shoreline to this uphill grade where rocks and roots lead to view-boasting rims. We ascend to a

After circumnavigating Emerald Lake, a couple takes in the views.

The Iceline Trail says it all.” Early next morning, we head up Yoho Valley, a winding route sandwiched between striking slopes. We pass a viewpoint to the Upper Spiral Tunnels, a century-old engineering feat that successfully
reduced the grade for train travel. Based on whistles we’ve been hearing from our campsite, they have no problem chugging over this pass now. But on this stretch of valley road, trailers do. Bridging the lower to higher sections are Z-like switchbacks that bigger rigs are unable to master. Fortunately our truck zips up the traverses without a glitch.

Harrison is an unspoiled getaway julie ferguson Special To The Morning Star
B.C. — The Mighty Fraser and the Thompson rivers are among the natural wonders that define British Columbians. They weave through our memories of geography lessons and vacations. But I yearned to explore another river — a shorter, less-storied river, with none of the drama of discovery that singles out the others, but which carries more than its share of B.C. history between its banks. I had my chance in May 2012 and toured the Harrison River by water with a private guide. The jet boat’s outboard screams as we shoot round Whippoorwill Point. The Harrison is wider than I expected and running full and fast through a forested canyon. Snow melt has turned it turquoise, and a strong wind is knocking up whitecaps. The boat butts into the chop with bone-jarring thumps. Guide Bill shouts above the noise, “Unusual weather. The river is typically placid.” The Harrison has been a working river for over a century, navigable for vessels during the freshet. Today, tugs bustle about with log booms and later fish boats catch salmon. In summer, tour boats ferry visitors on fishing expeditions and ecotours, and take a lucky few to stay at B&Bs accessible only by water. However, I see today’s river through the eyes of thousands of gold-hungry pros-

Pilings dominate the landscape at Harrison Rapids before it drops into the river. pectors who roared through here from 1858 to 1860. A wreck of an old paddle-wheeler lies rotting by the bank and reminds me of the hazards and deprivation they endured. The miners were bound for the northern end of Harrison Lake to bushwhack the 174-kilometre, Douglas Trail to Lillooet. Around a bend, Bill shouts and points. “See those orange drawings on the rock?” He deftly handles the boat in the gusts so I can see the ancient pictograms. “These have been carbon-dated. They’re thousands of years old,” Bill says as he cuts the engine. Experts speculate
that pictograms mark First Nations’ fishing rights or have spiritual significance. I can identify an owl or maybe it’s a cat, two stick men with heads surrounded by halos, and a nautilusshaped spiral. The nearby Chehalis First Nation claim the pictograms as theirs — they believe one may be a Sasquatch as this spot has more sightings of the elusive animal than anywhere on Earth. The mountains recede as we pass the Chehalis River mouth and its First Nation reserve. A large white cross on the opposite bank marks their Catholic cemetery. The boat pitches and yaws in the waves as
Bill navigates Harrison Rapids. Pilings line one side; on top of one, an osprey nests and, next door, a Canada goose. I worry how her goslings are going to manage the 10-metre drop to the river. The river widens and then narrows before pouring into the Fraser. I recognize the Pretty Estate Resort where yesterday I played a round at Sandpiper Golf Club and lunched at the River’s Edge. Nearby in the fall, thousands of bald eagles congregate to feast on spawning salmon and I promise to return for the spectacle. Here too is some of the best sturgeon fishing in B.C. “From August on, you can catch five types of salmon and in early spring, cutthroat trout,” Bill says. “However, seeing that you prefer history, you’ll be more interested in Kilby. The provincial park is on that point over there.” Bill gestures to a sandy beach with a handful of campsites — a quiet, beautiful spot that is a popular getaway for RVers. Behind it lies Kilby Historic Site, the heart of old Harrison Mills. The 1906 general store, hotel, and farm of the Kilby family is now a B.C. museum that keeps our memories alive of the once booming mill town and transportation hub. We start our 13-kilometre return to Harrison Hot Springs. Both the river and I are quieter. We’re running with the wind and waves, and I’m process-
Climb for breathtaking views Continued from previous page Western Canada that spills 254 metres down from Daly Glacier. On every one of the steep S-curves over the next kilometre, this popular tourist attraction pops into our view. Its rocket-like roar can even be heard when we’re out of the old growth thicket and into the sub alpine where we’ve well surpassed its precipice. Trails weave over this upper terrain like grey flowing ribbons. While we head for Iceline Summit, others backpack to Celeste Lake, some further to Little Yoho. Everyone is in search of the same exchange – a little grunt work for visual reward. And under bluebird skies, the more we ascend, the better it gets – over slabs of rubble that have crumbled from mountain faces, up granite steps
