Lumby teen a leader, terrific student
His high school principal called him a leader, a fact confirmed by the C he wore on his hockey sweater as captain of his midget house league team. His hockey coach called him irreplaceable and irresistible. The Village of Lumby is trying to come to terms with the untimely death of Bradley Michael Thomas Haslam, 18, who was killed Saturday in an industrial accident while working at Tolko’s Lavington planer mill. Haslam was working an overnight Bradley Haslam shift at the planer mill when he was found by co-workers severely injured. He was rushed by ambulance to Vernon Jubilee Hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Haslam graduated from Charles Bloom Secondary School in Lumby this month, taking part in the school’s grad festivities. Principal Ken Gatzke described Haslam as a “terrific student.” “He was well loved by all students and staff,” said Gatzke. AUTHORIZED

Monday that it’s believed to have been an unwitnessed event, and that Haslam was working on the main floor in the area of a waste conveyor. “He came into contact with equipment in that area. As a result, he, very unfortunately, suffered fatal injuries,” said Dolan. WorkSafe B.C. investigators spent upward of 16 hours onsite Saturday. They turned the site back to the employer but issued orders that the area specific to the incident was not to be operational until rendered safe. Dolan called the investigation “a complex one.” “Investigators collected significant amounts of evidence that they’re now analyzing,” he said. “The investigation will be completed as soon as possible.” On its website, Tolko’s Rob Fraser, general manager for the Southern Interior, said the company was extremely saddened by the accident. “We extend our sincerest sympathies to the family and loved ones,” said Fraser. “We are currently assisting WorkSafe B.C. and the B.C. coroners officer with the investigation of this unfortunate accident as well as conducting our own internal review.”

“He was a tremendous kid. All our kids are special but Brad certainly was a leader in our school and well loved in the community.” Charles Bloom initiated its crisis response team Saturday and opened the school Sunday at 1 p.m. for any students that wanted to drop in. A full response team was at the school Monday. “We’ll continue to be here supporting students, and we’ll do whatever we can to support families over the next days and weeks as necessary,” said Gatzke. Kevin Porteous coached Haslam the last four years in Lumby Minor Hockey and simply described him as “awesome.” “Brad was one of those kids everybody liked,” said Porteous. “He was the typical good athlete, the handsome guy all the girls liked and all the boys wished they were. “He’s irreplaceable. He’s been the captain of the team the last three years. All of the kids looked up to him. I told the kids Brad was one of those guys you get as a coach that teaches you things.” WorkSafe B.C. continues to investigate the incident, which is believed to have happened around 1:30 a.m. Saturday.

Major crime fighters honoured roger knox Morning Star Staff
More than a million documents. Thousands of pieces of evidence. Without a dedicated team to collect, sort, log and sift through the documents and evidence, B.C. RCMP believe they would not have reached a successful conclusion to investigating a Vernon organized crime group that terrorized the city in 2005. Six members of the team that helped investigate the gang called The Greeks were honoured with Certificates of Appreciation at the Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP detachment Monday, presented to them by retired inspector Al Haslett, who led the investigation into The Greeks, and Chief Supt. Jim Gresham, head of E Division (B.C.) major crimes program. Haslett formed the task force into The Greeks, believed responsible for seven murders in 11 months in Vernon, in September 2005. “I quickly realized that without a very strongly dedicated and committed support staff, we were never going to get the results required to prosecute and convict the individuals responsible for these murders in court,” said Haslett. “That’s why we’re here today.

Goertz transcribed hundreds and hundreds of documents and statements that Crown
counsel needed to disclose to the courts to the defence. Irvine, the detachment’s exhibit custodian, had to log and document more than 4,000 exhibits and cater to the demands of Crown which, Haslett said, were continuous. And then there were The Four Amigos, as Haslett referred to them:
retired members Ewan Pitt, Brent Lynn, Al Rodgers and Greg Heck, who did the vetting of the Crown documents, putting things together for Crown to disclose and get them into court. “They were dealing with 11 Crown prosecutors and their demands,” said Haslett. “Without
Tolko deeply saddened by fatal accident Morning Star Staff
Tolko Industries says it will do everything possible to prevent future tragedies at its mills. On Saturday, Bradley Haslam, an 18-year-old clean-up crew employee, died after becoming entangled in a conveyer belt at the Lavington division. “As an organization, safety is our most important value. This tragedy serves to remind us of the vital importance of safety in our workplace,” said Brad Thorlakson, Tolko president, in a statement. “When something goes terribly wrong, as it did on Saturday morning, we have to step back, re-
evaluate, and move forward with a strong resolve to make sure a tragedy like this doesn’t happen again. For my part, I renew my commitment to take a leadership role across the organization to ensure everyone understands that safety is at the core of Tolko. This tragedy serves as a personal call to action for all of us to look out for each other and to make sure that everyone is safe.” Thorlakson also extended his sympathy to Haslam’s family and friends. “To know that a family has been forever changed by this tragedy is devastating. No words can convey the pain,” he said. “The loss is heart-wrenching, the
these four, we could never have got the results in court that we did.” After an 18-month trial that concluded in November 2012 – a trial that cost $60 million and that doesn’t include RCMP costs – five members of the gang were sentenced to eight first degree murder charges, three second degree murder charges and three counts of manslaughter. “In my view, this investigation is simply one of the greatest accomplishments in the history of the RCMP major crimes program,” said Gresham. “Each of these six individuals was integral in the success, and I thank them and recognize their hard work and dedication.” Provincial Crown called the investigation one of the most difficult cases they’ve ever handled and praised the RCMP for doing an exceptional job. The trial is one of the longest in B.C. and Canadian law history, and it featured more than 100 police and civilian witnesses. It also had people convicted of serious crimes participating as witnesses in the prosecution of other suspects. “It is of enormous regional and national significance to have secured these convictions,” said Gresham.

impact lasting. Today, and for many days to come, our hearts will be with the family and friends of this young man as they face the unimaginable.” Thorlakson said his thoughts are also with the employees at the Lavington division as they return to work. “We will have our employee family assistance program provider on site to offer support, and I encourage anyone needing help to seek out these services. I especially want to thank those who responded to the accident for their efforts to save this young man’s life. Their efforts are well appreciated.”

Men rescued from river roger knox Morning Star Staff
What started as a fun Father’s Day on the Shuswap River for two Vancouver-area men turned chilly. Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP officers responded Saturday at 3:15 p.m. to a report of an overturned canoe on the river in Enderby near Carver Road. “The report was of an unknown number of persons Gord Molendyk in a canoe that overturned due to high waters, and that two people were trapped on the east side of the river,”
said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. Vernon Search and Rescue was called and they were concerned about hypothermia setting in on the men. Rescue crews launched on the river from Kingfisher at 4:20 p.m. and worked their way south along the river. Police officers kept eye contact with the men until around 5:30 p.m. when search and rescue was able to get into the inlet. Both men were safely rescued. “At around 6 p.m., search and rescue confirmed the two people did not sustain any injuries,” said Molendyk. Police believe the men, aged 54 and 27, were father and son.
Speed a concern roger knox Morning Star Staff
It’s a disturbing trend North Okanagan Traffic Services’ police officers are seeing. Members conducted a stationary laser speed operation south of Vernon on Highway 97 near Crystal Waters Road June 14. And, for the third Friday in a row, two more people had their vehicles impounded for excessive speed. “One vehicle was 50 km/hour over the speed limit in a construction speed zone, and the second one was 47 over in a 90 zone,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. More than 30 tickets for speeding were issued in a two-hour time period including one ticket for not wearing a seatbelt. With the Canada Day long weekend approaching, police want to remind everyone that extra enforcement will be on the highways during that time in an effort to keep the motoring public safe. “The traffic officers are reminding everyone to watch your speed so you do not get your vehicle impounded, and do not drink and drive,” said Molendyk. In the North Okanagan last week, six drivers were given 24-hour prohibitions (four of which were drug-related). There were a pair of three-day Immediate Roadside Prohibitions (IRPs), and seven 90-day IRPs. There was one impaired driver and 14 vehicles were impounded by police including three for excessive speed. The other 11 were drinking-related.
Police seek motorist roger knox Morning Star Staff
Police know who owns the car. They would like to find the driver and passenger. Vernon RCMP responded to a report of a motor-vehicle accident Sunday at 10 p.m. in the 1200 block of Kalamalka Lake Road. “A citizen reported a single-vehicle collision involving a black Mazda occupied by two men,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. A second witness reported the same accident but told police they saw a black vehicle leave the parking lot of Toro’s Beer and Wine Store, lose control, slam into a telephone pole, then hit a second telephone pole. The vehicle then drove on the sidewalk and continued driving southbound on Kalamalka Lake Road. Police found the Mazda parked on the shoulder of road just south of the Vernon Golf and Country Club, but nobody was in the car at the time. The investigation is continuing.

Some of the stolen property from the Saturday break and enter was also recovered in the Jeep, as well as more goods. “There was other unidentified items that could’ve been stolen from somewhere else,” said Molendyk.

On summer days, the air and upholstery in a vehicle can heat up to high temperatures that make it impossible for pets to cool themselves. Your pet will be more comfortable if left at home. According to the SPCA, if you see a dog in a car on a warm or humid day who you believe may be in trouble, ask stores to page customers. If the dog is in distress call your local SPCA, animal control or police immediately.

The players may be changing but there’s no immediate resolution to a lengthy court battle. The City of Vernon could become the sole owner of Kin Race Track through parks restructuring, and that means it could go head-tohead with the Okanagan Equestrian Society over use of the site. “The City of Vernon can take this forward. They don’t need us,” said Trafford Hall, Trafford Hall Regional District of North Okanagan administrator. RDNO owns the north end of the 48th Avenue property, but if parks restructuring proceeds, it has been suggested Vernon take over title because it already owns much of the site. RDNO and the city have been partners in litigation since the Okanagan Equestrian Society was evicted from the property in 2010. The society, which organizes Vernon Racing Days, claims equestrian activities were guaranteed when most of the track was turned over to the city
in 1964 for free. The society also alleges the regional district ignored an agreement for lease renewals. RDNO wants to use the 43rd Avenue site for other activities, including possibly sports fields, two arenas, a BMX track, a gymnastics facility and trails. Hall believes handing over ownership to the city would simplify the legal process because RDNO and Vernon currently have separate lawyers. “We have doubled our costs with no benefit,” he said. Greater Vernon Advisory Committee directors want more information on possible implications before making a decision. If ownership changes, it’s not known if Vernon would continue with RDNO’s plans for other recreational uses or allow the race track to remain. “I can’t comment. We have given it no consideration because the matter is in litigation,” said Rob Sawatzky, Vernon mayor. There could be some pressure, though, on Vernon to support equestrian activities there. “A lot of residents of Coldstream have a stake in the horse racing industry. I would hope the interests of different users are kept in mind,” said Maria Besso, Coldstream councillor.
Enderby salaries revealed richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Enderby residents can see what they paid towards political activities. The city has released the schedule of remuneration and expenses for 2012. “The remuneration we receive is fair and appropriate,” said Mayor Howie Cyr. Cyr led the pack with a wage of $15,420 and expenses of $1,003, for a total of $16,423. Total wages and expenses for the councillors were $11,362 for Tundra Baird, $10,489 for Brad Case, $10,356 for Beryl Ludwig, $10,079 for Raquel Knust, $8,891
for Greg McCune and $7,439 for Earl Shipmaker. Cyr insists there is so much more to the job than just attending council meetings twice a month. “Council puts a lot of time and energy in behind the scenes doing research, answering calls and responding to e-mails.” In terms of expenses, Cyr says there is a need for council members to travel out of town to represent Enderby’s interests. However, attendance at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention was modified to reduce costs. “Everyone went but at strate-
gic times,” said Cyr. “We cut back on expenses (instead of having everyone there for the entire event), if there wasn’t a need to be there, we weren’t there.” The city has also released financial information related to staff. Barry Gagnon, chief administrative officer, was the only employee to earn more than $75,000 in 2012. He received a salary of $122,190 and expenses of $6,575. For all employees earning less than $75,000, the collective total was $954,423 for wages and $20,022 for expenses.

There will soon be a new face at the Village of Lumby office.

Sundin is a chartered accountant who is currently employed as deputy controller with the Regional District of North Okanagan. Besides the public sector, he has also worked in private industry. Sundin replaces Ken Klassen, who is retiring after many years in local
government, including Lumby and Coldstream. A number of applica-
tions were received for the position of director of finance.
“There were quite a few really qualified people,” said Acton.

Passing the buck
t would be really easy to beat up on the City of Vernon over criminal record checks. After all, the city has decided to start charging a $25 fee for anyone who needs a criminal record check to volunteer, particularly with children. Having to pay to volunteer is contrary to giving of your own free time to benefit the community. Because some people may refuse to help out over the fee, agencies who depend on volunteers believe they may have to absorb the full price tag. “There are no provisions in the district’s budget to deal with this unexpected cost downloading,” said Bill Turanski, Vernon School District chairperson, in a letter of protest to the city. The school district suggests the fee could Richard Rolke cost it $25,000 a year. Turanski speaks of downloading but everyone should remember that it is senior government legislation, not city bylaws, that requires criminal record checks for adults working or volunteering with children. The province provides absolutely no funding to Vernon or other municipalities to help cover processing applications. According to city staff, the average criminal record check costs about $50 to research and issue, while more complex, time-consuming situations can spiral upwards to $500. To continue with the theme of downloading, one could argue that’s what the school district is doing to the city. “The school district does not pay property taxes and does not contribute to the community (through taxes),” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky. That means the city doesn’t get any direct financial benefit from all of the land set aside for education (other provincially related bodies provide grants in lieu of taxes to municipalities

for land). In return, the school district expects Vernon taxpayers to pick up the tab for its volunteers, including those who live outside of city boundaries in Coldstream and the BX. Many non-profit organizations also expect the city to provide criminal record checks for free. But this could be interpreted as doubledipping as some get property taxes waived or receive subsidized rates to use recreational facilities. The city’s pockets are considered deep but they aren’t when all of the financial pressures, including a $78 million infrastructure deficit, are taken into account. Higher costs mean increased taxes or inflated user fees, such as parking meters. If the city made any mistake, it was not informing the Vernon School District in advance that criminal record checks were no longer free. Given the teacher layoffs and the school closures of recent years, it’s unlikely extra cash would be available for criminal record checks. But, at least, the city’s move wouldn’t have been a surprise. Volunteers are a valuable asset, providing the physical resources no government or social agency could afford to replace. Their passion for the community is overwhelming and the mentorship they provide to our young people is priceless. One would hope that the satisfaction they personally receive from helping others wouldn’t be influenced by having to pay $25. In the end, the taxpayers of Vernon, or any jurisdiction for that matter, cannot be treated as a bottomless pit of cash. City officials didn’t ask to process record checks, it’s a task forced on to them. Council has instructed administration to review the school district’s concerns and come back with a report on a possible resolution. My prediction is city politicians will ultimately bow to the pressure and reinstate free criminal checks to avoid any possible negative publicity. Downloading on to taxpayers will continue.
The federal Conservative government is in serious trouble, but it has one thing on its side — time. The scandal over Senate expenses, and most crucially, over the prime minister’s chief of staff writing a $90,000 cheque to embarrassed Senator Mike Duffy, has shaken the Stephen Harper government deeply. There are more questions than answers, and investigations and resignations have not reduced the clamour for more detail. However, there are other issues that are causing trouble for the government. One that may not seem major at the moment is the resignation of MP Brent Rathgeber from the Conservative caucus, to sit as an independent. In Rathgeber’s case, his private member’s bill was allowed to stand, but it was so fundamentally altered that it bore no resemblance to what he had proposed. For Rathgeber, who has a maverick streak, it was too much. He left the party, while emphasizing that he still respects Harper and is quite likely to vote with the Conservatives on many issues. Rathgeber could be the tiny pebble who begins a landslide, or his stance may go unremarked and unnoticed by the public and other MPs. A lot will depend on how other issues unfold. However, the Conservatives do have a few things going for them. The House of Commons is set to adjourn for the summer, and most people will completely tune out federal politics. In addition, the two major opposition party leaders, Thomas Mulcair and Justin Trudeau, are unlikely to cause much damage to the government when Parliament is not sitting. They have no effective soapbox to stand on. The biggest thing in the government’s favour is the fact that an election isn’t scheduled until October, 2015. Black Press

Ranch needs regional approach
hough the recent decision to curtail funding to O'Keefe Ranch has been met by dismay by some the cutting of the purse strings could be a blessing in disguise for the historic site. Vernon city council hopes to encourage the hunt for other sources of funding. It is easy to agree with Councillor Cunningham that the regional district would be the logical place to start the search. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee is reviewing the cultural and sports functions currently supported at the regional district. Why not include a model for the support of O'Keefe Ranch in the discussions? For many years, City of Vernon taxpayers have shouldered the burden alone for what must be considered a regional attraction. The city's continued support though visionary, is
Setting it Straight I just felt compelled to straighten out some facts from the letter from Noel Tyler. First of all I would like to say, I am not a B.C. Liberal. I have never voted for them nor will I ever vote for them. I am not at all pleased with our B.C. Liberal representative. I would like to state, I am a naval veteran and have sailed over most of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. In his letter, he states that double hulls give a safe guard against spills but no guarantees. Well, nothing in this world gives guarantees. Side window air bags, will give you a safe guard, but will not guarantee saving your life if you are in an accident, where you are T-boned. If a ship is against the rocks and the outer hull has been opened, there is still a two-foot space to get to the inner hull and you will have to rub up and down back and forth for a long period of time before the inner hull is compromised. Usually when the inner hull is breached, they are either hit ashore with a pointed rock or there is a man-made breach. With a ship adrift in rough
questioned because the ranch is actually located in Spallumcheen. Cultural facilities such as arenas, art galleries, museums and historical sites are rarely self-supporting. Though every effort is made by dedicated staff and volunteers to be more efficient, reduce costs, and increase revenue, history has shown that contribution from the public purse is still required to run and maintain such facilities. This is true of O'Keefe Ranch. I hope the new spirit of co-operation at the regional district will come into play as future support for O'Keefe ranch is considered. I believe that regional co-operation is essential to preserve and enhance this valuable historical asset in the North Okanagan. Shawn Lee
seas, the engine room is relatively flat as it is in the midships at or near the bottom of the ship. Plus, the ships have stabilizers to help make the ship not rock as much. Thus, unless the mechanics do not have the part, they can fix it in a matter of hours. He also states that a tug tied to the ship will not be enough. A sea-bearing tug can handle rather easily 500,000 tons. The howser, or rope, that the tugs use to tie to the ships are nylon and are rated to 1,000,000 tons of force. They are rather large ropes, or as the navy calls them, howsers. Just like everything, yes they can break. But that happens not a lot of times. You can have another howser on the ship in minutes. Plus, the tug usually has a second line already on. They seldom have just one. Also, there is a second tug at all times escorting the tanker. So should anything go wrong, I have faith that two tugs will be able to handle the tanker. Plus, a large sea going ship has two engines, not one. They have a port and starboard engine. They have screws usually that are two stories high.
This is for maneuvering in tight spots and to move the ships easier and faster through the oceans. If one goes down there is always a second screw to use. He finally states that he is fed up with the government and Enbridge spreading their "misleading TV ads." Yet he himself is putting out misleading information to the masses of his own. Personally I do not care. I can see good and bad from this. I just want to set the record straight about ships. Michael Olsen tanker riSkS With reference to the letter to the editor, Tanker Rules, by Noel Tyler I wish to add the following comments: Mr. Tyler is right on the mark about the questionable safety of tankers plying the north coast of B.C. Some time ago, Gerald Graham, of Victoria-based Worldocean, a marine consultant involved in B.C. oil spill issues for a quarter of a century, said the risks of a tanker oil spill are simply too great for the Northern Gateway pipeline project to proceed.
"The consequences of a major oil spill along B.C.'s north coast could be catastrophic and irreversible. B.C.'s isolated coastline, lack of infrastructure and powerful storms all mitigate against effective oil spill response, Graham said. Enbridge's commitment to escort tugs and tethered tugs sounds pretty hollow in view of the fact that it is the carrier of the oil — the tanker owner, not Enbridge — who would be responsible for oil spill clean-up operations and associated costs. While Transport Canada says tankers can safely access a terminal in Kitimat, Mr. Graham said the marine component of the project is in fact not safe. Since these tankers will most likely not be owned by Enbridge and might be sailing under a socalled flag of convenience, cleanup funds might not be available, leaving the B.C. taxpayers on the hook. This whole issue again begs the question: Why are we not building our own refineries here in Alberta and add value to our oil? Why not extend our pipeline to Eastern Canada where we are presently importing 1.1 million barrels of oil per day
from Algeria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Venezuela, the U.K. and Norway? Why are we always so eager to let other countries add value to our own resources? Take a guess. Casey Berlanda

Bob Brett has been recognized for passionately trying to reduce risks for firefighters across B.C. Brett, a retired Vernon firefighter and labour leader, received a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal during a ceremony at the Vernon fire hall Monday. “He fought very hard for firefighter safety across the province and beyond,” said Keith Green, fire chief. “The reason we have the safety precautions we do now is largely because of him.” Brett spent 26 years as president of the Vernon Professional Firefighters Association and 10 years as B.C. Professional Firefighters Association president. During that time, he took on civic, provincial and insurance industry officials if it meant worker safety could be improved. “His biggest impact is with cancer presumption,” said Brent Bond, current VPFA president. Previously, firefighters had to prove cancer was related to career duties in order to receive medical insurance. But because of lobbying by
Bond and others, it is now assumed conditions at a fire, such as burning chemicals, are the cause. “We now have 11 cancers covered,” said Bond. Brett was with the Vernon Fire Department for 31 years, retiring in 2005. “Bob was my first officer when I joined and he was one of the best I worked for,” said Green. “You knew what was expected from him. He trained us hard and worked us hard. For me, he was like a father figure.” Brett is also credited with ensuring staff levels at the Vernon hall kept pace with a growing city. “Our department wouldn’t be in the place we are today without him,” said Bond. Brett says he was humbled when told he was receiving a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal. “I was quite surprised. It’s quite an honour,” he said. Brett says there was a need to focus on firefighter safety, especially early on in his career, and he insists that he wasn’t alone in the fight. “I worked with a lot of other people to make the career better.”
Bears spotted near BX school Morning Star Staff
A sow bear and cub were reported Sunday and Monday in the vicinity of BX Elementary School. The mother bear appears to be using the BX Creek riparian area as a travel corridor but is being attracted into the adjacent neighbourhood by garbage, bird feeders and pet food.
“Keep your pets indoors or leashed and make sure there are no attractants left outside,” said Marnie Cuthill, Vernon’s WildSafeBC co-ordinator. “If you see this bear, remain calm and move everyone indoors.” Anyone who encounters problem wildlife can call the B.C. Conservation Office Service at 1-877-952-7277.

Traffic speeds through zone Join the Fun! Morning Star Staff
Speed infractions soared Monday as police conducted enforcement in a highway construction zone near Oyama. Members of the Central Okanagan Traffic Services and Integrated Road Safety Unit conducted enforcement in the construction zone on Highway 97 near Oyama. “Speed was definitely the Kris Clark most common infraction with 102 drivers fined for speeding in a construction zone,” said RCMP spokesperson Const. Kris Clark.
Construction zone speeds are reduced for everyone’s safety. “It makes sense to slow down when crews are working roadside, but what some motorists seem to forget is that the construction zone often contains an irregular or unpredictable road surface which can cause safety hazards for all road users,” said Clark. Speeding in a construction zone carries a minimum fine of $196. Some other fines issued throughout the day included one driver fined for use of an electronic device. One was fined for having no valid driver’s licence. There was one drug seizure and four motorists were given instructions to fix deficiencies in their vehicles.
Agriculture water service disrupted Morning Star Staff
In order to confirm that all domestic/potable water connections have been removed from the agriculture water main in the Old Kamloops and Bella Vista areas, there will be a planned interruption of agriculture water service. It’s expected the service will be unavailable from 7 a.m. Thursday to 7 a.m. Friday. “This planned interruption will assist Greater Vernon Water in ensuring that all agricultural
water lines have been identified,” said Rod Pleasance, project engineer with the Regional District of North Okanagan. “Customers are advised to notify us if your home or any buildings on your property with taps used for drinking water purposes have no water during this time.” During this 24-hour agriculture water interruption, there will be no water to the agriculture water service.
“Please take the necessary measures to ensure that you have enough water for your agriculture water needs during this time,” said Pleasance. The project to separate the domestic and agriculture water lines has now been completed in the Old Kamloops and Bella Vista areas. After June 24, agriculture water will not be treated or chlorinated and must not be used for human consumption.

Dad event raises record funds Morning Star Staff
Taking part in Do It For Dad was personal for Rick Gallant this year. The 52-year-old Coldstream resident, who recently had surgery for prostate cancer, attended his first Do It For Dad walk and run fundraiser Sunday at Coldstream Ranch. “It’s important for me to come out to this,” said Gallant, joined at the event by his wife, Betty, and son Chris. “It’s great to have their support today. I have another son who is working and couldn’t be here today but I know he would be here if he could.” The 14th annual Do It For Dad raised a record $38,500 for free prostate cancer testing and to purchase a resectoscope for prostate cancer treatment at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. “It’s important for us to come because all of the money raised will help more men get their prostate exams for free,” said Betty Gallant. The Gallant family was among 370 participants. “The event was successful in creating awareness around the need for early diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer,” said Andrea Egan, with the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation. Along with the VJH Foundation, the event was organized by the Vernon Prostate Cancer Support
and Awareness Group while the presenting sponsor was Interior Savings Credit Union. The top individual fundraiser was Doreen Hourie who collected $4,045, followed by Marnie MacKenzie with $3,000 in pledges. The Lumby Health Centre Team claimed the prize for the top fundraising team, raising $728 in pledges, while the Mitchell Family was close behind with $670 and the the Coldstream Fire Department at $360. The top finishers for the run were, for women, Seija Deleenheer in first, Jen Lindsteen in second and Susanne Larose in third. For the male participants, the first place finisher was Bob Woodman, while Ian Flock was in second and Gage Stoll was third. For those wish to make a donation, go to www. vjhfoundation.org.

The A.L. Fortune Secondary (triplets and twins included) marked their final days of high school this past weekend. They paraded around town in fancy vehicles, tractors and monster trucks, raced the rapids with a river rafting adventure for dry grad and then literally painted the town for the annual tradition of spray-painting the street in front of the school. They are all great kids, says vice principal Mark Marino. But the class is particularly unique, and likely the first of its size (58 grads) to include so many multiples. “What’s kind of cool about this class is we have two sets of triplets and one set of twins,” said Marino. Travis, one of the Fox siblings alongside Kurtis and Jalene, is happy to share this special occasion with all his friends, including Chasen, Cole and Kyle Tokairin. “It’s pretty neat have two sets of triplets.” Not only are they celebrating a graduation together, but both sets of triplets have been together through their entire lifetimes of school and are celebrating their long-standing friendships. “Since kindergarten,” said Travis, “actually no, since preschool.”

News Valedictorians offer sage advice Continued from A14 The other school multiples are twins Anna and Alyssa Skaalid. They too are celebrating the multitude of friends they’ve made since moving to Enderby in Grade 8. “We’re all friends with all the triplets,” said Anna, who, along with her sister, is taking a year off to work before going to college. Alyssa isn’t sure what direction she wants to go with her life yet, but Anna has her sights set on becoming an elementary school teacher.

Wherever the future steers them, valedictorians Jaymz Alaniemi and Kurtis Fox had some sound advice for all their fellow grads. “If you want something bad enough and put in the hard work and dedication, anything is possible. I know that sounds corny, but it happens. “If you don’t know where your life will take you in the next 10 years, don’t worry because we are all on a journey and we are not supposed to have it all figured out at 18.” For a video of the grads in one of their annual traditions visit www.vernonmorningstar.com

Museum moves exhibit into school Morning Star Staff
Students attending George Elliot Secondary School in Lake Country won’t have to go far to figure out exactly who George Elliot was. The Lake Country Museum has unveiled a new exhibit at the school which takes a look at the man who the school is named after. “This is a great opportunity for our students to learn about local history,” said Derek Lea, GESS principal. “Rather than just thinking of their school as a name, they now can learn about the man behind the name and the values he stood for.” The exhibit includes photographs and personal items belonging to Elliot including his wallet, professional teacher’s card and licenses, gym whistle, pen and notebook. Elliot was born in Paisley, Ontario in 1902 and moved to Vancouver when he was 12 years old. After completing his education, he taught in the
Vanderhoof area for six months before securing his position at Winfield Public School in 1923. He was teacher and principal there for 26 years. He was also a member of the Farmer’s Institute and he was instrumental in the building of the Winfield Memorial Hall. In 1949, at the age of 48, Elliot died during treatment of asthma in Kelowna General Hospital. Dan Bruce, Lake Country Museum curator, said the school played a big part in getting the exhibit together. “George Elliot was instrumental in the community building of Lake Country and the opportunity to present his history at the school now named after him has been incredibly rewarding,” he said. For more information about the exhibit or local history, contact the Lake Country Museum at 250-7660111 or go to www.lakecountrymuseum.com.

Cage of civility weakened in this dark comedy God of Carnage will have you wondering who is the child, and who is the parent Morning Star Staff
You’ve heard of kids behaving badly, well Yasmina Reza’s play God of Carnage could be subtitled “parents behaving badly.” The Hub Arts Collective presents the Tony and Olivier-winning dark comedy at its downtown Vernon location, June 25 to 27. Directed by The Hub’s Matt Brown, God of Carnage takes a surprising turn as two sets of parents come together to discuss a school yard scrap between their children. With surgical precision, Reza breaks down barriers and bulldozes suburban decorum, while asking what, exactly, have we sacrificed to fit the mould, said Brown. “It is such a treat to work with an amazing playwright’s work, but even more so, the incredible team that has come together on this project is more than I could ask for,” he added. Recently made into the film Carnage, the play is a tragically funny and telling exploration of the cage of civility. It wages a battle between savagery and propriety, at times with flying Clafouti (that cherry-based dessert made famous by Julia Child), a good deal of vomiting, and a cruelly abandoned hamster as just some of its plot devices. Putting the show together is Brown, who is the recent winner of best director for
The Hub’s entry of Oleanna into this year’s O-Zone drama festival at the Powerhouse Theatre. Joining him from the team that worked on Oleanna are Kristine Larsen, who is taking an acting part in this production, and Ashley Plomp, who played Carol in Oleanna, as assistant director. Some familiar and new faces will be seen in the show, including Cory Armour and Kendra Hesketh, who play Michael and Veronica Novak, as well as Wylie Barker who joins Larsen as Alan and Annette Raleigh. “We’ve decided to do something different and exciting in staging this show,” said Brown. “We are presenting this show in the round, where the audience sits all around the actors and the set. It should give a neat perspective to the style that the show is written in giving the audience the feeling that they are sitting in the actual living room where the play takes place.” This is the second full-length theatrical production executed at The Hub Arts Collective, with all shows starting at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday next week. Tickets are $15 and available through the Ticket Seller (250-549-7469, ticketseller. ca), the Bean Scene Coffee House and with limited availability at the door. The show on Tuesday is a two-for-one showing with tickets only available at the door. For more information, email info@thehubartscollective.com or call 778-475-6244. The Hub Arts Collective is located at 2906 30th Ave. next to the Vernon Towne Theatre.

Great Big Sea adds Vernon to 20th anniversary tour
Morning Star Staff
Newfoundland’s most popular band, Great Big Sea, is coming to Vernon this fall in celebration of its 20th anniversary. Great Big Sea kicked off a cross-Canada tour in March and have just added more dates to its tour, including stops in Nanaimo, Vernon, Prince George, Kamloops, and Red Deer. Tickets for the band’s Oct. 23 date at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre go on sale Friday. Last seen on the north shore of Okanagan Lake 10 years ago, Alan Doyle, Sean McCann and Bob Hallett have somehow managed to keep the dysfunctional-family-barroom-brawl-student-art-projectmusical-pirate-crew known as Great Big Sea going for two decades.

Great Big Sea’s Sean McCann, Bob Hallett and Alan Doyle are coming to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre on the band’s 20th anniversary tour Oct. 23. And more often than not, they have done it with more than a bit of flair. For the hundreds of thousands of fans who have sang, danced and celebrated with the band, Great
Big Sea has been a constant factor in their own lives. While musical fashions have come and gone, Great Big Sea has maintained an unswerving commitment to their original ideals — a belief that a
marriage of their own creativity and the joyous folk music of their home in Newfoundland would be an unbeatable combination. Released earlier this year, and compiled by the band members
themselves, Great Big Sea’s new two-disc recording, XX, captures the many highs in a recording career that has produced 10 fulllength CDs and two DVDs. In order to express the band’s two sides, one disc covers the biggest hits from their more poporiented repertoire, while the other contains some of their most loved traditional and folk songs. To balance out the discs, the band recorded six new songs — almost a new album in itself — which run the gamut of their varied stylistic approach. Tickets for Great Big Sea’s show in Vernon cost $59.50 and $65, plus applicable service charges, and go on sale Friday at the Ticket Seller box office, 250-549-7469, www. ticketseller.ca.

It’s been a busy couple of months for Vernon’s Windmills. The moniker of multi-talented musician Cory Myraas, Windmills has been touring and performing non-stop since the release of his sophomore recording, Tilting, back in February. With his last live appearance in Vernon back in December, when he appeared with fellow local artists Jodi Pederson and Raquel Warchol at their Christmas concert, Windmills is returning home to headline a show Thursday at the Talkin’ Donkey coffee house. “I have new merch for sale, and after this I will be touring all summer and not sure when I’ll be back in Vernon, probably in late-August,” he said. Known for his use of a loop pedal, Windmills creates a wall of sound with his voice, guitar and percussion. Joining him will be Montréal/Alberta indie folk artist Ghost Lights (Noah Cebuliak), who is currently on a tour of Western Canada in support of his debut EP, Saltwater.

Vernon musician Windmills plays a show Thursday at the Talkin’ Donkey with Alberta/Montreal indie-folk artist Ghost Lights (below).
With poetic sleightof-hand, jazzy chords and innovative arranging with a folk-pop edge, Saltwater tells the story of Cebuliak’s intense and revelatory experiences in the wilderness, including

solitary fasts, remote journeys and paddling in Canada’s Pacific Northwest. Like Windmills, Ghost Lights also uses a DIY ethic in his performances and recordings. He sang, harmonized and played all guitars, percussion and keyboards on Saltwater, which he says allowed him the deepest sense of sonic intimacy. Thursday’s show with Windmills and Ghost Lights starts at 7 p.m. and tickets are by donation/pay-whatyou-can (suggested $5 to $10). The Talkin’ Donkey is located next to the Salvation Army Thrift Shop at 1-5400 24th St. Ghost Lights also performs solo at Lorenzo’s Café, east of Enderby on Mabel Lake Road, Friday at 8 p.m. Cover is $10. Call the café at 250838-6700 for more info. Must get tickets to the show I read about in Live Wire!

Music in the Park to help Feed the Valley Morning Star Staff
Armstrong’s Memorial Park will soon be alive with the sound of music as the Valley First Music in the Park concert series kicks off this week. This ever-popular, free summer concert series begins at 7 p.m. Friday, when the Mumble Bees take centre stage. As always, a different group will entertain every Friday until The Creeks wrap up the series Aug. 23. The Mumble Bees are a fivepiece band from Vernon with Tania Sladen on vocals, Mark Sladen on drums and vocals, Brian Halvorson on guitar and vocals, Alisha Critchley Straley on violin and vocals, and Andrew Affleck on bass and vocals.
This year, the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce welcomes a new concert series sponsor, Valley First Credit Union. As well as presenting the series, Valley First will also be promoting food safety and hunger awareness through its Feed the Valley program. “Valley First is a strong community supporter. It’s terrific to welcome them as the summer concert series sponsor,” said Andrew Laird, vice president of the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Centre. “Even better, with Valley First’s involvement we will be able to further strengthen the community by supporting our local food bank. Attendees are encouraged to
bring a blanket, chairs, snacks, beverages and a food bank donation to the concerts. “Relax, enjoy the fresh air, time with family and friends and help the community at the same time,” said Laird. Feed the Valley is a community investment program created by Valley First. The program aims to raise food, funds and awareness for food banks throughout the Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson regions. Since its inception in 2010, Valley First has raised close to $480,000 in cash donations and more than 40,000 pounds of food donations. This sets Valley First well on the way to achieving its ambitious goal of raising $1 million by 2020.

Vertigo offers poetry for kids Children will soon find out there’s more to children’s poetry than Dr. Seuss or Mother Goose at a poetry writing workshop for kids at Gallery Vertigo Sunday. Instructed by Cherie Hanson, the workshop intends to lead students into a place of rich exploration by relaxing them and bringing out the knowing child who instantly understands that words are play. Hanson holds a master’s in contemporary poetry from UBC’s Vancouver campus and has completed a year of studies toward her master’s in creative writing poetry. Based in Kelowna, she has studied with Robert Huff, Betsy Warland
(head of Simon Fraser’s creative writing program), Tracie Morris (a renowned performance poet), Knute Skinner, and Sarah Veglahn (author of four volumes of poetry). Her poems have been published in anthologies along with poets Ann Waldman (chairman Naropa Summer Writing Program), Kenneth Goldsmith (poet in residence at the New York Museum of Modern Art), Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), and Sheri-D Wilson among others. Sunday’s family drop-in at Vertigo runs from 2 to 4 p.m. Admission is by donation. The gallery is located at #1-3001 31st St. upstairs from Krause Jewellers.

Local cherries bound for China judie steeves Black Press
After seven years of effort on the part of a number of industry organizations and governments, the door has opened for Okanagan cherries to be exported to China this year. The agreement could mean that by 2014 sales of fresh cherries to China could be worth $10 million, increasing to $20 million annually over the next five years. Christine Dendy, president of the B.C. Cherry Growers’ Association, said she’s pleased that their efforts have finally paid off. Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz says China is a rapidly growing market for Canadian farmers with export sales of agricultural products to China worth $5 billion in 2012. Lake Country cherry grower David Geen, chair of the association’s market access committee, explained that it’s typical to have a trial period when a country opens its market to a new product such as cherries, to ensure there are no adverse impacts on the local industry, such as from a new pest or disease. Of particular concern to China is the Western Cherry Fruit Fly, which is a pest that is not currently an issue there, so the inspectors will be vigilant in efforts to ensure it’s not present in any fruit to be exported from B.C. One of the stumbling blocks in negotiations has been a blanket requirement for a cool treatment the Chinese felt would prevent an infestation from being imported with B.C. fruit, but Geen says there’s actually not even any proof that would prevent it. Such a treatment would be harmful to fruit quality. Instead, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and other countries to which B.C. exports cherries, rely on the brown sugar test to detect that pest.

The door has been opened for Okanagan cherries to be exported to China this year. The Chinese have also required that another incubation test be performed on cherries from every orchard from which cherries would be exported to China this year, at the Pacific Agri-food Research Centre in Summerland, to ensure no Western Cherry Fruit Fly is present before fruit is shipped. This year, sales will be limited because part of the agreement is that the B.C. industry will host two inspectors from China throughout the harvest this season, to approve every shipment. Geen said they expect the presence of inspectors here and the incubation test will only be required this first year, until they are comfortable with Canadian protocols. All will be at the cost of growers, he noted, and they will be applying for funding to help with that cost. He said 35 B.C. growers were certified by the CFIA this spring to ship cherries to China, and each has had to follow a rigid pest monitoring program, documented
weekly and submitted to the CFIA to be sent to China. Geen noted that the negotiations have been very much a team effort of the federal and provincial governments, the BCCA and the B.C. Fruit Growers Association. CFIA staff are due a lot of credit for the successful conclusion of talks, he said. “There’s been a lot of teamwork,” he noted, including between growers who would normally be competing with each other for market share. However, the stakes are high. With a market of 1.2 billion people, and an affluent sector of the populace that is four times the population of Canada, China is an important market for a rapidly growing supply of B.C. cherries, notes Geen. “They’re considered a luxury item; a healthy food. Fresh cherries with a nice green stem represent good luck. Often they’re purchased as a gift, like you would take a bottle of wine to a dinner at a neighbour’s home,” he explained.

Volunteers sought for Lumby programs Morning Star Staff
There are plenty of opportunities to make a difference in Lumby and the surrounding area. There are currently a number of volunteer positions available at the Whitevalley Community Resource Centre. “There are opportunities in our office, in one of our programs or one of the many other worthwhile organizations such as the museum,” said Gay Jewitt, executive director. “So if you have a desire to make the community a better place, why not check them out.” WCRC is currently in the midst of its Legacy Fund, with the goal of raising $800,000 for an endowment fund. The principal will remain in an endowment fund and the interest generated each year will help cover operational expenses. To date, $50,000 has been raised.
“I fully believe that it takes a village to raise a child and I also believe that once that child grows to be an adult it is then their turn to take care of that village,” said Vanessa Thibeault, who recently joined the Legacy Fund committee. “This is what I believe the Legacy Committee stands for and why I have joined.” The fundraiser recently received $1,000 from members of the Lumby Lions Club. “The Lumby Lions have always had an interest in the social health of the community,” said Marlene Stark, Lions vice-president. “That is why it was really an easy choice to once again support the centre.” For more information about the Whitevalley Legacy fund or to volunteer in the community, call 250547-8866.
Oyama farm provides information for tourists Morning Star Staff
Visitors will have a place to stop this summer for information on Lake Country. The district’s tourism development commission has approved a proposal from Gatzke Orchards in Oyama to operate a visitor information centre for 2013. “In the past, Owen Dickie this has been a successful location,” said Ryan Roycroft, economic development manager. “The last time a visitor information centre was operated from Gatzke’s, it saw 9,600 visitors in a
single season. The location of the visitors information centre will build synergies between the info centre and Gatzke’s Farms, already one of Lake Country’s premier tourist destinations.” The centre will open Friday and there will be an official open house June 28. Lake Country tourism-related businesses are invited to drop off brochures and marketing materials at Gatzke Orchards. “This is an interim solution for visitor services,” said Coun. Owen Dickie. “The tourism development commission has already begun planning for next year and will be well prepared after examining the 2013 results in September.”

Kidston Elementary pays tribute NaNc y McDoNalD Special to The Morning Star
Years of fundraising and hard work by the Kidston Elementary parents advisory council and one parent in particular came together with the announcement of a huge technology purchase plus a special tribute. The PAC is purchasing a classroom set of computers with upwards of $25,000 raised in the past four years and including almost $3,000 donated in memory of Sandi Batchelor, who died in October 2012 after a courageous battle with cancer. Sandi’s husband Mark and two boys Chase, 11, and Austin, 15, joined the school community and guests in hearing former vice-principal Dagmar Maguire pay tribute to the woman who was active in almost every volunteer activity in the school since her boys enrolled there in 2003. “Sandi was always there with sunscreen and hats on beach day, morning coffees with M&Ms for desperate staff, and a magic van full of everything from extra swimsuits to all the shopping needed to run the soup kitchen,” joked Maguire. Batchelor volunteered for

United girls advance Morning Star Staff
Three Vernon girls teams have qualified for the Provincial B Cup Rep Soccer Championships, July 4-7, in North Vancouver. United Under 13, 14 and 15 sides all booked a seat to provincials by winning the Thompson Okanagan league playdowns last weekend at McArthur Island Sports Centre in Kamloops. Brett Bandy’s U15 crew, which went 7-0-1 in the regular season, grounded the Penticton Pinnacles 6-1 Sunday after blanking the Kamloops Blaze 1-0 Saturday. Vernon went to work immediately versus the Pinnacles with Kate Healy leaving a vapor trail down the wing and placing a gorgeous cross for Emilee Kronbauer, who tapped it in from the door step. Kronbauer scored just before the half, converting a rebound after a scorching shot by Maddy Laranjo. Early in the second half, Healy made her way to the net with authority to undress the defence and pick the short-side corner from outside the six-yard box. Hanna Akkurt had time to make a tuna sandwich before beating the keeper high from outside the 16-yard box for the fourth goal. Laranjo nodded in an effortless kick from Alexa Tymkiw, then calmly hammered one in from the parking lot to complete the scoring. In Saturday’s opener, Vernon pinned the Blaze and held them to zero shots while enjoying some quality chances in a scoreless half. Vernon got on the board early in the second half after Reyhanna Akkurt dug the ball from the corner and fed a well-marked Laranjo, who buried the winner. United controlled the rest of the game, showering the Kamloops keeper with shots. “They’re really playing phenomenal and a lot of credit has to go to Dave (Broadhurst) and Claire (Paterson) who coach five or six of the girls in the academy,” said Bandy. “Carli (Tingstad) has also helped me a lot. She is such a strong technical coach. It’s a unique team. There is lots of chemistry and the girls finished third in provincials last year and are determined to win it this year.” The U14 girls shut down Penticton 1-0 Sunday after bouncing the Blaze 3-0 the day before. Ashley Glinsbockel supplied the late goal and Marina Dempsey registered the shutout in the final. “The girls played an awesome technical game,” said head coach Michelle Hughes. “They were stringing together five-, seven-pass sequences and really outplayed Penticton. We had many chances but failed to put it in the net until about the last
three minutes of play. It was truly a team effort with everyone contributing and doing their job.” Jaime Grages, Cayleigh Graham and Ashley Glinsbockel scored against Kamloops with Dempsey earning the clean sheet. “It was a good playoff opening game for the girls,” said Hughes. “Everyone worked hard and we achieved the result we were looking for.” Vernon topped the regular season at 9-1-2. The U13s, coached by Al Gee, Rick Latta and Ley Christensen, clipped Kelowna United 1-0 in Sunday’s final. Kali Hamilton-Gee produced the Vernon goal and Shauna Bradley posted the shutout. HamiltonGee scored about 15 minutes into the second half. Kelowna definitely looked the stronger side in the first half and beginning of the second, but Vernon gained control after Hamilton-Gee’s goal and finished strong. “Maja Splawinski and Alex Lockwood took over the midfield,” said coach Gee. “We got a big save in the first half by Shauna to keep us in it.” In their opener, Vernon started slow before rolling over Penticton 4-0. Mason Christensen, Lydia Lavigne, Splawinski and Sydney Embleton handled the United offence. Vernon was 4-0-2 in league play. The U16 girls, coached by John Hughes, lost a 1-0 heartbreaker to the Pinnacles Saturday. Penticton connected on a penalty kick in a game Vernon owned the majority of play but couldn’t finish. United only lost once in league play. In U16 boys play, Vernon fell 3-0 to Kelowna in Sunday’s final after clipping Kamloops 2-1 Saturday. Kamloops counted first and then Zac Kronbauer levelled the score by overpowering Kelowna’s back line. Michael Williamson scored the winner on a beautiful volley from the top of the box. The Vernon defence shut down everything Kamloops tried. United U13 boys lost 3-1 to Kelowna in Saturday playoff action. Vernon held the edge in play and enjoyed numerous first-half chances with no luck. Kelowna scored the only goal of the opening half. Kelowna went up by a deuce on a penalty shot before CJ Storey replied with a beautiful header. Vernon midfielder Perez Vermuelen was stymied on a penalty kick and Kelowna added insurance with five minutes remaining. Vernon got great goalkeeping from Micah Martens and stellar defensive support from Kody Kongsdorf, Trent Graham, Man of the Match Adam Raber, Jarod Latta and Dylan Huber. Head coach Roy Cooper and assistants Yogi Kongsdorf and Rick Raber were pleased with United’s strong, aggressive play.

Legends wrap up season with fifth Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan B1 Legends pounded West Kootenay 17-1 to claim fifth place in their Rock The House Pee Wee Lacrosse Tournament Sunday morning in Armstrong. Captain Jacob Brewer pocketed three goals and five assists to power the North Okanagan attack, with Caedon Bellmann (3+1), Sorcha Pasco (2+2), Dawson Kerkhoff (2+2), Nathaniel Foster (2+1), Matthew Latham-Watt, Jaxxon Collard, Randall Toop and James Crowdis adding to the offence. After injuring her foot a day before the tournament, Macey Drabiuk (game MVP) returned to play in the Legends’ final game of the season, inspiring the team with a beauty bounce shot past the Kootenay keeper in the second period. Said Legends’ head coach Casey Sherriff: “So proud of the whole team this year. After playing nearly the whole season with less than 10 players, they never complained and just played hard all year and it paid off with two great wins to end the season.” The Legends opened the tourney Friday with a 9-4 loss to the Penticton Heat. With the Legends trailing 3-0 late in the first period, Brewer stormed up the right side, stole a ball and went in on a breakaway, scoring on a nifty fake to give his team a spark Collard and Brewer (game MVP) scored in the second frame, and Bellman completed the attack in the third. Collard (assist to Crowdis), Toop (assists to Collard and Bellmann) and game MVP Pasco (unassisted) handled the North
Okanagan scoring in a 5-3 loss to the Langley Thunder Saturday morning. “We had a tough time burying our chances when we had them,” said Sherriff. “A couple bounces our way and that game has a different outcome.” Game MVP Bellman banked four goals as the Legends stuffed West Kootenay 7-0 Saturday afternoon. Brewer, with a pair, and Foster chipped in offensively, while Pasco (2) and Toop added assists. Goalie Brayden Leveille wasn’t overly busy, but made the saves when called upon. Meanwhile, the Bantam A2 Legends sealed first place in their division by taking three of four points in doubleheader against the Penticton Heat Sunday at Summerland Arena. The teams played to a 7-7 draw in the opener, with North Okanagan leading 1-0 after one period before tying it 5-5 after two. Brett Olsen (3+1), Conor Webb (2+1), Kayden Beauregard and Dawson Boyce supplied the offence. Jayden Jensen-Hunter, Jakob Schweb and James Francis had an assist Olsen completed his hat trick with nine seconds to play to salvage the draw. Webb and Brady Marzocco each fired deuces as the Legends took the rematch 6-3. Beauregard and Jensen-Hunter collected singles.Olsen (2) and Riley Swiscoski netted assists. Troy Cuzzetto was stellar in net for both games, compiling a weekend save percentage of .895 (10 goals on 96 shots). The 10-1-1 Legends visited Penticton

Tigers host Raiders tonight Morning Star Staff
The top two Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League teams will tangle tonight as the second-place Vernon Source For Sports Tigers entertain the league-leading Kelowna Raiders (7:30) at Kal Tire Place. The Cats, now 10-3-1, come into the tilt having split a weekend set against the ever-improving Kamloops Venom (4-10-1), winning 10-6 Saturday in Vernon before falling 15-8 Sunday at Kamloops Memorial Arena. The Tigers wrap up the regular season by hosting the third-place Armstrong Shamrocks (3-7-3) Saturday at Kal Tire Place. Ryan Sarazin turned the hat trick to lead the Vernon attack Saturday night. Tied 2-2 after one period, the Tigers out-scored the Venom 4-1 in the second frame to seize control. “I was very impressed,” said Tigers’ head coach Myles Brumpton. “Keith (Hanna, assistant coach) and I implemented some new strategies this week and we saw them in play. They executed the gameplan. “It was one of the best performances from a team perspective. For a coach, it was a treat to be on the bench.” Jordan Orr (2+1), Sean Connors, Darryl Landels, Craig Bigsby, Liam Drabiuk and Austin Lewarne rounded out the offence in front of Aaron Jensen, who recorded 21 saves. Nolan Frame dished up five assists and Mason Limb had two. Brady Jorgensen (2), Jerome Thorne, Nolan
Koly, Chris Case and Rob Peterson responded for the Venom, who got 44 saves from Dallan Etter. Jorgensen ignited the Venom with seven goals in the rematch. Blaine Boomer (2+3), Peterson (1+8), Thorne, Kyle McLellan, Max James, Brett DeFrias and Case all solved Jensen. Frame, with a hatty, Drabiuk, with a deuce, and singles by Sarazin (3A), captain Brett Hanna (2A) and Theo Wagner accounted for Vernon’s offence. Orr collected three helpers. Brumpton called it a lacklustre team performance. “Everyone’s entitled to a bad game, I just didn’t expect three-quarters of them to have one on the same night. “Too many passengers suited up for the game. It was a sad performance. We shouldn’t have lost that game, but give them (Kamloops) credit – they scored 15 goals on us. “The parity in the league is a lot closer than what the standings show.” Meanwhile, the Shamrocks used a nine-point night (6+3) from Stephen Ringdal to earn a 13-13 draw against the host South Okanagan Flames Sunday at Penticton Memorial Arena. Willy Hanley supplied 3+3, Cody Berg netted 1+2 and Colton DeBoer, Sam Hanley and Adam New counted singles. Drew Hassard generated five assists while netminder Cole McFarlane (49 saves) had one. Kaid McLeod (3+2), Levi Thompson (3+1) and Chris Pond (2+3) enjoyed stellar nights for the last-place Flames (3-9-2). Dean Grimm earned 43 saves.

Kal Tire widens streak orning Star Staff
Vernon Kal Tire stretched their winning streak to five games by bouncing Kelowna Taco Bell 5-1 Monday night at Marshall Field #1. The Tiremen improved to 7-3 in the Kelowna Men’s 35+ Soccer League, while the salsa crewdropped to 0-9. Kal Tire started slow after an earlier heavy rainfall, but Jesse Knight jumpstarted things on a breakaway. Geoff Straight made it 2-0 on a fabulous one -time shot. Taco Bell countered when forward Scott Shepherd broke down the wing and finished with a hard shot. In the second half, John Duk finished with a great header for his eighth of the year. Tyler Johnson supplied Kal Tire’s fourth with a run down the left side. Bryan Schenker, who earlier missed wide and low on a penalty kick, completed the attack with his seventh of the year. Strong defence was turned in by Tim McGowan and Rene Mailloux. The Tiremen meet the second-place Alves Brothers FC of Kelowna next Monday in Rutland. Alves FC are anchored up front by Morgan Marrs (19 goals) and Vernon’s Johnny Orton (six goals). Meanwhile, all the heavyweights cruised to victories in Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ League action Monday night.
Camels shut down Pushor Mitchell
The Leko Precast Camels got two goals from Gordie Howard to shut down Pushor Mitchell Advocates 3-0 at Parkinson Rec #16. Defender-turned-keeper Ron Krause posted his second straight shutout and assisted on Howard’s first-half breakaway from centre. Krause has agreed to play goal the rest of the season. Dan Zieske set up Howard’s second snipe, while Al Murphy fed roadrunner Zane Klym for the final tally. Newbie Dan Pawsey, who played outside fullback, was the Sleeman’s Man of the Match. The Camels went to 7-0-1 to stay a deuce back of Brown Benefits, 5-1 winners over the Brandt’s Creek Pub at City Park. Penticton United remained a point behind the Humpbacks by slamming the Vernon Liquor Store Stars 6-1 in Summerland. After allowing 12 goals in two games, Ted Lurkins has signed up for this summer’s Whitecap
Academy Keeper Camp in an attempt to cut his goals against average. Playing with no subs for the second straight game, the Liquormen ran hard all game cumulating with a Toffee-nosed Stephen McCourt goal in the second half. Brian Johnston and Darren Schimpf gave Penticton a 2-0 lead at the break. Ken Horncastle, Zeke Pescada, Kevin Kothlow and Rob Jackson provided second-half goals. Hillview Golf Man of the Match honours went to Cam Percy, who thwarted countless Penticton attacks. The best theme song on the two-hour return trip was Midnight Oil’s Beds Are Burning.
Kickers brush back Ogopogos
North Country Appraisals Kickers and keeper David Gadd recorded their third straight clean sheet in a 6-0 romp over the Big O Tire-Turn Key Ogopogos at Parkinson #9. North Country scored early on a penalty kick by Floyd Ryan. Lars Martens made it 2-0 on a cross that fooled keeper Yogi Kongsdorf. Defender Tony Overton ventured up on a corner and fired a rebound home to make it 3-0 at the half. Sergio Sartori added two more in the second half and Olaf Dijkstra had the other goal. Parm Klerr was robbed on a breakaway as Gadd made an oustanding save and rebound as well. Hustling Volker Otto was the Red Robin Man of the Match for Big O. Paul Charlton pulled the hat trick with some nifty riverdancing as Lake Country iced Bosman Accounting 4-2 at Marshall #3. Steve Cox also scored for the fourth-place Lakers (6-2), who got leadership and stellar passesfrom central fullback Greg Kilmartin. Henk Bosman provided both goals for the winless accountants, one on a late penalty kick. Burger King Man of the Match Gerson Betman, Ian Murphy, Tom Ouchi and Gerry Geelkerken ran miles in the midfield to give Bosman time and space to roam up front. Bosman played with 10 men after winger Bob Fleming left with an injury in the 15th minute. Roger Russelli netted a deuce as the Rutland Spirit blanked Cantinas 5-0 at Mission 71 Field. Doug Roth, Dave Newman and Carlos Gutierrez also scored for the Spirit (5-3-1).
The Vernon United U11 #1 boys closed their Rep soccer season Sunday by overwhelming Kamloops Blaze White 8-0 before drawing 1-1 with Kelowna Black in Salmon Arm. Zach Smith supplied the hat trick, while Isaiah Ondrik netted a pair and Keegan Carmichael, Dawson Martian and Joel Kongsdorf had singles. In Game 1. Kevin Morgan recorded his sixth shutout of the season, behind a solid back line of Liam Reid, Lucas Schuch, Luc Jones and Devin Hofsink. Vernon played perhaps its best match of the year, outclassing Kelowna Black. United gave up a counter-attack goal late in the first half, but resumed its offensive barrage in the second and were rewarded with a Smith top-cheese strike to equalize. Martian and Reid provided fits for Kelowna down the right side, Jack Cotter anchored the defence, and Morgan made numerous stellar stops, including an all-planet tip over the crossbar. United #2 rounded out its season in Salmon Arm suffering a rare 2-1 loss to Kelowna Reds. Vernon opened the scoring early with a blistering strike from Kobe Grant. Liam Reid and Ben Morgan assisted. Josh McKeown and Grant had near misses. Vernon’s defence dug deep to keep it 1-0 until the 50th minute. The defence was anchored by Morgan, Gavin Madema, Max Chirkoff and Aiden Skinner. Keeper Matt Reich was stellar throughout but Kelowna snuck one by him on a scramble with five minutes to go. Kelowna then followed it up with a strike in the dying seconds. James Meeks and Nate Paskiewich also played solid and ran miles for John Glennon. The U12 #1 girls finished by beating Kelowna White 2-1 Sunday at Kings Park in Penticton.
Keira Correia and Kelsey Carriere tallied for Vernon, who got magical goalkeeping from Julia Thompson and Megan Sherwood. Felicia O’Gorman gave special mention to Olivia Sawka for an extra effort in midfield and Carly Southham for her stubborn defence. United #2 girls ran the table Sunday, doubling Kamloops Blaze Orange 4-2 and stopping Shuswap 3-0. The slow-starting turtle brigade came out of its shell and knotted the score at 1-1 versus Kamloops when Elena Gaskell drilled a corner off a defender. Jayden Strachan finished a dazzling goal to give United the lead for good, showing a blaze of speed and converting
a one-timer off a beautiful cross by Gaskell. More gritty determination by Strachan netted her a second goal off a scramble, while Emily Thomas chipped in to salt the game away. Kelsey Falk was stellar. Carl McLennan was a little concerned with the short bench and the team’s uninspired warm up consisting of a tea party in the shade, but conserving energy actually panned out for the girls in Game 2. Strachan created a goal out of nothing, battling two defenders to get the shot through and open the scoring. Thomas counted a long strike from the 35-yard area and Nadia Smith added the third goal a few minutes later.

Merritt mows down Jackals Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Jackals were down a pair of tries early and never recovered in a 36-17 Okanagan Rugby Union loss to the host Merritt Panthers Sunday. “We came out flat and Merritt took it to us for the first part of the game,” said Jackals player/coach Mike Scheller. “We settled down and played pretty well for the next 60 minutes and the match was back and forth.” The Jackals got the score to 24-17 and were knocking at Merritt’s try line, but the Panthers found another gear to widen the gap. “They were the better team on Sunday – they hit the rucks harder, tackled better and were full value for the win,” said Scheller. “When we swung the ball wide, we were successful and both our tries came from moving the ball quickly.” Winger Nathan Martel collected both Jackal tries, while Trevor Miyazaki, Vernon’s most consistent player, booted two converts and a penalty.

Conrad shifts to triathlon Peter Byrnes For the Morning Star
Retiring after a busy career managing student finances and bursaries at UBCO, Vernon’s Linda Conrad is far from taking a well-deserved break. To celebrate her upcoming 60th birthday, she is planning to do her first-ever triathlon – the Kal RATS (Running and Triathlon Society) Sprint Triathlon Sunday morning at Kin Beach. “I joined the Kal RATS in 2002 to meet others with an interest in running,” said Conrad. “Little did I know that I would one day be toeing the line at the Kal RATS Sprint Triathlon.” As a child, Linda had always enjoyed recreational swimming, but it had been a few years since she had last ridden a bicycle. With the recent purchase of a commuter bike, the seed of an idea began to grow. A regular volunteer at previous Kal RATS triathlons, Linda saw entering the event as a natural progression. “As a volunteer, I saw how supportive the club was to all levels of participant,” she said. “I knew if ever I was going to try a triathlon this was the one.” In preparation for the event, Conrad enrolled in Kim Young’s coaching clinic for beginning triathletes at the Greater Vernon Parks and Recreation Centre. “Kim’s course is excellent,” she said. “It is such a great opportunity to not only learn about triathlon but to meet so many other first timers.” When asked of her greatest fear, Linda said the open water swim will test her fortitude (the event features a 750-metre swim, 18.5-km bike and 5-km run). “It’s the fear of the unknown, and… the weeds.” Craig Johnson, Kal RATS triathlon race director, has assured Conrad the swim is weed-free and even shallow enough to walk in places. “It’s the club’s 19th sprint triathlon,” said Johnson. “We know how to make it beginner-friendly. While great for beginners, the race is challenging enough to bring the best. In 2004 Simon Whitfield

Penticton,” she said. To cheer on Conrad and other first timers going the distance, head down to Kin Beach for the 8:30 a.m. start. The race will be accepting online entries at www.kalrats.com until Saturday.
Peppers pocket pair of U14 wins Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Chilli Peppers went 2-3 in the District Under 14 Girls Fastball playdowns last weekend in Cawston. Coached by Blair Campbell and Arnie Head, the Peppers fell 15-1 to the Penticton Power in their Saturday morning opener. Game MVP was Samantha Head. Vernon rebounded to stop the Summerland Steelers 16-3 with shortsop Abby Williamson earning MVP with some dynamic defence and a home run and double on offence. Williamson assisted on all three outs in the third inning. Head ripped a three-run triple in the second to bring in Kalen Webster, Alana Baker and Morgan Gore. Laureen Hornell doubled to start off the third and moved to third on a single by Lindsay Crandlemire. Brittany Jensen then doubled in both runners. Jillian Pipke also scored in the inning.
Serenity LeBoe, Head and Hornell scored in the fourth before the game was called due to run differential. Ellen Campbell and Jensen handled the pitching. Vernon lassoed the Westside Outlaws 18-6 Sunday morning with Campbell striking out five batters to pocket MVP. Crandlemire also took the mound and fanned a pair. Webster scored the first run, while LeBoe, Gore, Pipke, Jensen and Baker kept an early rally going with hits. Sicamous then shut down the Peppers 15-0 with Crandlemire collecting MVP. Vernon bowed 16-3 to the Cawston Coyotes in Sunday’s semifinal. Campbell scored twice and Williamson once for the Peppers, whose MVP was Hornell. Campbell tagged a runner trying to swipe home in the fourth. The Vernon Legion Angels, gained a tie and suffered three losses at the Under
19 playdowns at Dale Meadows Park in Summerland. The Angels bowed 10-5 to Summerland with Dallyce Edwards and Shelby Munk sharing the pitching and Allie Crandlemire catching. Kelowna then shut down the Angels 7-0, but Vernon bounced back and tied Enderby 8-8 before losing 11-5 to Kelowna. Munk was hot on the mound with lots of strikeouts, while Dallyce Edwards switched to shortstop after the first game and let nothing past her. Allie Crandlemire sparkled beind the plate, Rhianne Busslinger caught numerous balls in centre field and knocked some runs in along with Lexie Edwards, Keara Crandlemire and Dayna Hanley. Stefani Anderson saw some great rundown action with Allie Crandlemire for an out at home, while Daina Bader made a marvellous catch in left field.

First World problems
he best part of travelling is coming home. No matter where I go I am always grateful to return to Vernon. Travel makes me thankful for things that I have taken for granted my whole life. Yesterday I was grateful for indoor plumbing. Today it’s the clean drinking water in my house that has my attention. Tomorrow when I return to work, I will be grateful to live in a country that has health care. Through travel Dr. April Sanders to, and work in, other countries, I have discovered how much I have simply because I am Canadian. Coming home always requires an adjustment period and I think this time, coming home from Africa, it will take longer to readjust to my first world problems. The Internet is down, my Mac won’t sync with the iPhone, and the stove isn’t working. I get the flare of anger that frustration brings and then I feel embarrassed I have felt this way at all. It is not easy to forget that I have just been a guest in a country where the average citizen has few of these worries and may walk 10
second opinion
km to get their water. When I return from poor countries, my toughest readjustment occurs at work. In Canada we want and expect our health care to take care of us and for the most part it does. Everyone can see a doctor at a family practice or a walk-in clinic. If we are ill out of hours we can go to the emergency department. If we need to be, we are hospitalized and have operations, cancer care, extended care and hospice care. Moreover, we can access these services for a small MSP fee or for nothing at all. And yet, we are unhappy with the wait times, the lack of direct access to some drugs and tests, that some services are not covered by MSP and that sometimes we have to travel to see a specialist. This is all a part of our Canadian system and I have done my share of complaining about it as a practitioner, a politician and as a consumer. When I travel to other countries and realize that the vast majority of the world does not have any of these things to complain about simply because they have no healthcare at all, I go through a period of frustration both with patient’s expectations and with my own as a doctor. Over the years my husband and I have done medical work in Honduras. This Central American country is the second poorest in the Western
Bridging Project committee member. The activities will take place at the band stand stage and nearby. The Interfaith Café part of the day, with the theme of family gatherings, keeps the same format with discussions at tables with representatives from various faith groups facilitating questions and answers and summing up. “We are finding that the Interfaith Bridging Project is a way to nurture each other toward a loving community through providing space that brings people together. We want to reach out to other organizations so we can provide that focus of gentle friendship for each other. It is an opportunity for goodness to happen,” said Ghattas. Bono thinks it is important for people to question assumptions and the limitations this places on people and relationships. “Our cultures are so diverse yet we have so much in common. I think it will be an amaz-
Hemisphere after Haiti. I have learned many lessons from my patients but one very pleasant Honduran woman provided me with the kind of lesson I still apparently need. She was in her 50s and had come six hours by bus to attend the clinic. She stood outside for hours to be seen, dressed in her very best. She had a non-healing ulcer on her leg the size of my hand and had had it for many years. She had had 17 pregnancies and 15 living children. Sometimes such an ulcer is made more complex by underlying diabetes, and diabetes is very common in Central America. I therefore asked her if she had diabetes. She became very worried by my suggestion. Her response to me was “I have come to have my ulcer treated but you will need to tell me if I am diabetic. I have never had the opportunity to see a doctor before.” Her response was beyond my understanding. I assumed that she, at 50 years of age, with her complex medical history, must have had some medical intervention. I was a first world doctor working in a Third World country and it was up to this Honduran woman to deliver the reality check. Dr. April Sanders is a physician at Sanders Medical Inc. Vein and Laser in Vernon.

Gary Link chooses plants at the recent 2013 FLK Taoist Tai Chi annual plant sale from the four long tables that rapidly emptied of the large variety of plants ranging from perennials to many varieties of heritage tomatoes. As well, children enjoyed choosing a plant to take home for free from their own special table. The fundraising sale was a huge success, with a line-up at the door when it opened.

hen I was a kid, (back in the dinosaur age), my mother would sometimes treat us to homemade ice cream which she made in the ice cube trays (minus the dividers). It was a mixture of canned milk, eggs, sugar and vanilla, if I recall, and was poured into the trays and stirred every half hour or so until it finally was frozen, which took forever in my mind. Since we only had ice cream on someone’s birthday, these summer treats were tremendously special. So I Cathi Litzenberger was thinking I’d like to try a new recipe for ice cream and take advantage of the large bowl of strawberries I picked early this morning. With “those lazy, hazy, crazy, days of summer” almost upon us, it’s time to prepare for relaxation and fun with friends and family. The local strawberry harvest is in full swing, and if you don’t have your own patch, head out to the local growers or farmers’ markets for a good supply. I’m trying as many new recipes as possible this season and am also going to make a blender full of strawberry-citrus slush! These two recipes are easy to prepare and certainly delicious to consume. Fresh strawberry Ice cream 1 quart fresh strawberries, hulled 1-1/2 cups heavy cream, divided 3/4 cup white sugar 3 egg yolks 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
Place the berries into the container of a blender or food processor, and purée until smooth. Pour into a large bowl, and set aside. Heat 1-1/4 cups of the cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to bubble at the edge of the pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg yolks, remaining 1/4 cup cream, and corn syrup. Gradually pour the hot cream into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan, and heat until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, about 5 minutes. Do not allow the mixture to boil. Strain custard into the berry purée through a sieve, mix, and refrigerate until chilled. Fill an ice cream maker with the mixture, and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Delicious! best strawberry daIquIrI 6 cups ice 1/2 cup white sugar 4 ounces frozen strawberries 1/8 cup lime juice 1/2 cup lemon juice 3/4 cup rum 1/4 cup lemon-lime flavoured carbonated beverage In a blender, combine ice, sugar and strawberries. Pour in lime juice, lemon juice, rum and lemon-lime soda. Blend until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve. Makes 8 servings. You can freeze this recipe ahead of time but exclude the carbonated beverage and add it when reblending before serving. The rum will keep the mixture from totally freezing hard.

Q: A:
What’s the new law about Common Law Marriages in BC? Recent legislation in British Columbia has codified just what a common law marriage is and what the ramifications of living in common law are.
After two years of living together, or living together and having a child, you will be treated by the law almost the same as if you were actually married. In case of a break-up, the property-sharing regime is similar in common law as in a marital relationship. Relationships may fail. To avoid any unpleasant surprises it is wise to have a cohabitation agreement early in the relationship when things start to turn ‘serious’. It can protect your assets and spells out the respective obligations of the parties. It beats having to go to court, pouring out your life story in public and having some person in a black robe make decisions for you that affect you for a life time.
Q: A:
A hearing aid is not a hearing protector and it is not recommended that you wear a hearing aid under ear protection. Worksafe BC has an excellent website www.worksafebc.com with many resources (see the Safety at Work, Hearing Loss Prevention section). Also, see your Hearing Professional. He or she will be glad to help you understand hearing protection and how it should be worn.

Q: A:
This is a real Calabash (from the gourd family) and is widely used to ease sickness. They are dried, insides removed, a circular hole drilled in the top, and most often sprayed gold. The shape of the Calabash is specific, and represents a transformation of energy from sickness to health, and in ancient China, medical doctors carried their medicines inside. As a successful Feng Shui Consultant, I place these in homes to take care of sickness energy and they truly are my secret weapon! The technicalities of how they work are complex, so I’d like you to view the Calabash like a lemon... In the hands of a chef, a lemon is a tasty ingredient: to many of us, it’s sharp and bitter, and ends up in the back of our fridge, generating mold… sound familiar? The Calabash simply turns something useable by a few into something we can all enjoy: it turns lemons into lemonade…simple as that.

Q:

A:
Q: A:
Cold laser therapy, also called low level laser therapy, is used to treat muscle, tendon, or ligament conditions by injecting billions of photons of visible and non visible light deep into underlying tissue. Cells contain certain properties which have the unique ability to absorb laser light energy and transform it into chemical energy, similar to photosynthesis in plants. The biostimulating effects of laser therapy include: • Decreasing the pain signal and increasing endorphin release • Decrease inflammation by increasing lymphatic circulation • Increased vasodilation to allow oxygen rich blood to injured areas • Accelerate tissue regeneration by increased production of ATP • Speed up the healing process by increased collagen synthesis The end result of cold laser treatment is to not only reduce pain and speed up healing time, but by naturally increasing collagen synthesis, you have true tissue repair at a cellular level!

Q:
We were preapproved to buy a property but when it came down to doing the financing, we were told that we no longer qualify. Is there something that we can do to make sure this doesn’t happen again?
A:
The condensation on your windows in the cooler months of the year is because the moisture in the air inside the home is coming in contact with the cooler surface of the window glass & causing condensation on the glass. Try keeping your curtains or blinds open during the day & see if the condensation becomes less or goes away. If it does not go away or become less than there may be other issues to deal with that will reduce the amount of moisture in the air of the home. The ‘black mold’ that is accumulating on the window sills is most likely not mold at all, but is dust & dirt that is floating in the air of the home & that is on the windows. When condensation appears on the windows the dirt sticks to the moisture & is washed down the window where it accumulates and looks like black mold. No cause for alarm, just wash it off & check to see if your furnace filter needs changing.
When we are pre-approving clients for financing, we collect all of your personal financial information and the supporting documentation from you. This is the best way to know that we have not missed any of the details, once we have the information, we are able to offer you a rate guarantee for up to 120 days while you shop for a home. If you have less than 20% down payment, the preapproval is subject to the acceptance of your application and the Insurer (CMHC, Genworth or Canada Guarantee). If you have more than 20% down payment then we may require a property appraisal. If you had not provided all of the documentation, or if you were given a preapproval in a matter of a few minutes, it is very likely you were issued a rate lock guarantee and not a full preapproval. The best way to protect yourself is to use a qualified Mortgage Professional that will review your application with you and provide a full preapproval for you based upon the documentation that you have provided. It is a rare occurrence, when a program has been cancelled or a guideline updated that would prevent you from being approved. Mortgage Brokers work with a variety of Lenders so can choose another Lender if the requirement is unreasonable.

Q: A:
Why would I come for a Spiritual Direction session?
People come for spiritual direction for many, many reasons. Some people come because they want to challenge and deepen their spiritual beliefs. Others are experiencing a spiritual crisis or emergency. Some may be dealing with serious or fatal illness either their own or that of a loved one. Or, grieving the death of a loved one - human or that of a beloved animal.
Many people are simply seeking guidance and support on their spiritual journey and are looking for ways to create and implement their own spiritual practices. Whatever reason for a spiritual direction session, transformation and empowerment happen when you strengthen your spiritual beliefs and connections.
Andrew Stevenson Owner
Q: A:
My pool guy quoted a heat pump pool heater to replace my 16 year old gas pool heater. Are heat pumps the better way to go now?
The most common type of pool heater being installed in Canada is still the natural gas directfired pool boiler. However, about half of new pool installations done in the United States are using Heat Pumps now. Heat pumps work by pulling heat energy out of the warm summer air and transferring it to the pool water. Generally speaking, heat pumps have a much higher efficiency rating than gas-fired pool heaters. For every dollar spent on heating, a heat pump will transfer four to five dollars worth of heat; whereas gas fired pool heaters are typically producing only 80 cents per dollar of gas used. That could add up to a significant savings over the course of a pool season. However, heat pumps are constrained by heating capacity compared to gas-fired pool heaters, and will usually take longer to heat the same water mass - often 2-3 times longer. So, if you are a weekend swimmer that turns down the heat during the week, you will be better off sticking with the gas fired pool heater for that quicker heat recovery time. Another consideration to think about is that heat pumps usually require a 50-60 Amp service out to the heat pump location and possibly even an electrical panel upgrade. Nevertheless, if your pool is used regularly and you keep it at the same temperature from day to day, a heat pump will likely pay for itself in 5-7 years through reduced heating costs. Remember though, whatever type of system you use, it’s important to have it serviced regularly by certified gas or refrigeration technicians.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder SOME POSSIBILITIES, ALTHOUGH NOT ENDLESS Ralph Marston, who played one season in the National Football League with the Boston Bulldogs in 1929, said, “You’ve done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities.” This deal has a few possibilities, which you have probably seen before, but one of them still evades most players. South is in three notrump, and West leads the spade queen. What happens if South ducks the first trick and West continues spades at trick two? What is West’s best defense if South ducks the first trick? What happens if South wins the first trick?
South has seven top tricks: two spades, three hearts and two diamonds. He must obtain two more winners from clubs. But since he will lose the lead twice, the defenders might establish and run their spade suit first. If declarer ducks trick one and West continues spades, South plays on clubs and makes his contract. When East gets in with the club king, he does not have another spade to lead. If South does not win the first trick, West must shift to a diamond to defeat the contract -- a play that would be very tough to find. If South wins the first trick, he does best to play a heart to the queen and start clubs from the board. To
beat the contract, East must put up his king and return his remaining spade. When partner’s suit is one lead from being established, especially if you have only one card left in that suit, do your utmost to win the next defensive trick.
