Seaton sets sights on future JENNIFER SMITH

Morning Star Staff
eaving the books, tests and trials of high school is easy for most graduates. It’s the memories and friendships built in that five-year high school journey that is the hard part to leave behind. “Not seeing all my friends in one place, that’s gonna suck,” said Jayesh Sharma, W.L. Seaton Secondary graduate. “It’s already happening.” Like Sharma, who plans to go to college next year and one day become a brain surgeon, each student is heading in a different direction. Navid Nekain is headed to Montreal’s McGill University. “I might be back here as a doctor,” said Nekain. Friends Sophie Culos, Maeve Mcgrath and Mackenzie Barrie are putting miles, and continents, between them. Culos will be studying at the University of Victoria, Barrie earned herself a spot at the University of Wyoming on a golf scholarship and Mcgrath is hoping to make her way to Europe on her travels. Despite leaving each other, the trio are eager to jump into their futures. “It’s exciting,” said Barrie. Culos adds: “We’re getting to see the big wide world. And we’re ready to go.” Meanwhile BFFs Taryn Hapgood and Danielle Ewing have a firm plan to stick together, no matter where their futures take them. “Even if we do part ways, we’ll get back,” said Hapgood.

Funtastic ready to swing into action Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Let the fun(tastic) begin. Today is the start of the 29th annual Funtastic Slo-Pitch Tournament and Music Festival, which will see approximately 4,500 ball players taking part in the four days of action on the fields and at the DND grounds. “There’s 216 teams in Vernon alone and with Armstrong and Enderby there’s another 82,” said Jim McEwan, Funtastic executive director. While a number of the teams are locals, many of the teams have travelled great distances (as far as Iqaluit, Nunavut) to be part of North America’s largest slo-pitch tournament. “Funtastic is growing,” beams McEwan. Alberta makes up more than a quarter of the participants (80 teams), and even they aren’t letting the local flooding and detours keep them from playing. “They’re coming, hell or high water, for the sunshine,” said McEwan, noting that only one team couldn’t make it. “We’ve got a few (Alberta) teams who are looking for players as some of their players work in emergency services or with the municipalities and couldn’t make it.” Tonight’s music festival entertainment includes Original Shakedown, The Dirt, The Young’Uns and Honeymoon Suite. Mace kicks off Saturday night’s entertainment, followed by the Legendary Lake Monsters, Barracuda and Sweet. Funtastic goes country Sunday with headliners Julian Austin and Aaron Pritchett after Cod Gone Wild and The Goods. Then the fun extends into Monday when

Big Wreck and Theory of a Deadman rock the stage before the fireworks light up the skies (10:45 p.m.). “We are planning for the biggest Canada Day celebration this town has ever seen,” said McEwan, adding that the events aren’t sold out yet, but are going fast at A&W and

and retuning at approximately 11 p.m. The Get Home Safe Shuttle will also be running Friday, Saturday and Sunday starting at 10 p.m. until 3 a.m. This shuttle will run until midnight Monday. “We want to make sure everyone gets home safe,” said McEwan.
RCMP will be on guard over busy long weekend roger knox Morning Star Staff
It is one of the busiest weekends for Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP. And the local detachment is prepared for Funtastic. “We will have a full contingent of officers on in Vernon, Armstrong and Enderby,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Gord Molendyk Molendyk. “Our auxiliaries will be helping out. Citizens on Patrol will be helping with the fireworks and they’ll also be acting as
extra eyes and ears for the RCMP.” The Funtastic slo-pitch tournament and music festival is housed mainly at the Vernon Army Camp, with 200-plus teams taking part, but there are also Funtastic tournaments in Armstrong and Enderby. The RCMP will have its portable command centre operating at the army camp. “We’re asking people to not drink and drive,” said Molendyk. “We want everybody to have a good time, come to our communities and enjoy a wonderful event put on here every year by a group of people that work very hard to do that. “But we also have a group of people on hand that work hard to keep the community safe.”
Funtastic hires extra security to work the beverage garden and concert area. However, once the music stops, there are participants who will head to downtown Vernon to check out the establishments. “We police the downtown core as there may be individuals who get into an establishment that have had too much to drink, so the establishment’s liquor licence is now on the line,” said Molendyk. Extra prison guards will be working the Vernon cells in case there are revelers who end up being housed at the Vernon detachment overnight. The Department of National Defence also provides military police during the weekend to look after the army grounds.

A pair of golden Paralympians, two tireless builders and a starry senior men’s baseball team will enter the Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame. Vernon’s Sonja Gaudet, Canada’s most decorated wheelchair curler, and Enderby’s Marni Abbott-Peter, a Paralympic swimming and basketball medalist, are the athletes to be inducted Friday, Nov. 1 at the Schubert Centre. The late Don MacDonald, who founded the Vernon Boxing Club, and longtime boxing and soccer official Ian Gibson, will enter the shrine in the builders category. The Enderby Legionnaires, who won provincial AA titles four times and claimed Western Canadian crowns in 1982 and ‘84, are the honoured team. “We went through a number of worthy candidates and chose these amazing athletes and builders, people who truly made a difference, while showing class,” said shrine committee director Roger Knox. “We have a long list of extraordinary people who will be voted into the Hall of Fame in the coming years.” Gaudet, 46, has won gold medals at the past two Paralympic Winter Games, playing lead both times (in 2006 at Torino, Italy, with skip Chris Daw; in 2010 at Vancouver with skip Jim Armstrong). Abbott-Peter, 47, was introduced to wheelchair sports by Rick Hansen. She started her Paralympic career in the pool, and found great success winning four gold and one silver in swimming at the 1986 Pan American Games. She began playing wheelchair basketball in 1988 and made the national team in 1992 and won her first medal at the Barcelona Paralympic games that same year.

Water plan moving ahead richard rolke Morning Star Staff
A multi-million-dollar, 24-year upgrade to Greater Vernon’s water system has overcome a major hurdle. Regional District of North Okanagan directors approved the master water plan Wednesday, meeting an Interior Health Authority deadline Patrick Nicol to have a document submitted by today. “This has been a lot of work,” said Patrick Nicol, board chairperson. The process began in March 2011 when

IHA issued an official order for a master water plan to be developed. “We analyzed every aspect of the water system and we looked at a number of options,” said Dale McTaggart, RDNO’s engineering general manager. The preferred option calls for partial separation for irrigation and domestic uses, with treatment at the Duteau Creek and Mission Hill plants. Total capital costs would be about $111 million between 2013 and 2037. “Option two gets maximum separation for the best cost,” said McTaggart, adding that not treating irrigation water will reduce operating expenses. McTaggart believes the option also meets domestic needs, particularly when
Councillor proposes another option Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
New ideas are coming down the pipeline to get better use of local water and taxpayer’s dollars. A $111 million master water plan has been identified, which could see taxpayers going to a petition process or referendum in November 2014. The plan includes providing filtration at the Duteau Creek treatment plant for $26.5 million and at the Mission Hill plant for $30 million, among other improvements. While the plan is already being submitted to Interior Health for approval, one local politician says it’s not the best use of taxpayer’s dollars, Considering that the majority of domestic water use comes from Mission Hill, Coldstream Coun. Maria Besso suggests the funds be directed solely to that plant. “Instead of building the plant at Duteau, do filtration at Mission Hill,” said Besso, noting that 80
per cent of domestic use is from that station versus only 20 per cent at Duteau. “It would end up costing us the same amount, we’re just doing it in a different order.” Using water usage data from 2011 and 2012, Besso says that in the summer, on a peak day, of the 160 million litres being treated in a day at Duteau it is estimated that only six million litres are for domestic. The remaining 154 million litres are being sprayed on fields for irrigation. “It would be a crime to put filtered water on fields,” said Besso. And in the winter, Besso adds, treatment of the average 225 million litres per month at Duteau costs $363 per million litres. Whereas Mission Hill treatment cost $83 per million litres for the 522 million litres per month. “I think we’re going in the wrong direction,” she said.
Gun amnesty popular with local residents guns June 1 as part of a month-long firearms amnesty program that they hope will remove guns from communities and reduce the risk the guns could fall into the hands of criminals.

weather disrupts water supply. “Already two or three times we’ve had to switch water sources. It shows how important it is to have two treatment plants and two sources,” he said. Up to 2017, about $2 million in capital costs can be funded through utility rates but there will be a need to borrow $68 million. Public assent for borrowing will be required either through a petition or referendum, which could be held in the spring or fall of 2014. It’s anticipated that water rates could double over time. But even if the referendum fails, the plan could still move ahead. “If we do nothing, IHA will likely give us an order (to proceed),” said McTaggart.

Anyone wishing to surrender ammunition or weapons, including imitation or replica guns, should not transport the items themselves to the local detachment. Instead, they should contact their local police and arrange for officers to visit for a pick-up. “Do not walk into the police station with a gun,” advised Molendyk “Call our office (250545-7171) and arrange to have an officer come pick up the firearms.” The amnesty program is in effect until the end of Sunday.

Firefighter injured by truck roger knox Morning Star Staff
A BX-Swan Lake volunteer firefighter suffered minor injuries after he was hit by a vehicle while walking on foot to battle a fire. The department was called to a report of flames in trees in the area above Hartnell and Tillicum roads shortly before 10 p.m. Wednesday. “As I came around the corner from the hall I could see large flames in among the trees, and it looked like a couple of trees were crowning,” said BX-Swan Lake fire chief Bill Wacey. “I proceeded to call Bill Wacey a couple of more units and got forestry involved.” Wacey called his assistant chief who lives near the area to see what he could see, and both were looking for an access route to the fire. Wacey said as they were heading onto the road to go to the fire, a bunch of cars were coming out “at quite a fast pace.” “So I warned everybody to be careful of the traffic coming down off Hartnell Road,” he said. It was discovered the fire was actually a bunch of burning pellets, with no flames in the trees, and because the fire truck couldn’t gain access to the site, six firefighters were sent on foot to battle the blaze. A volunteer firefighter was hit by a pick-up truck trying to leave the area.
That’s when the RCMP were called. “He was bruised and shook up, but he was released from hospital at 2:30 a.m. Thursday,” said Wacey of the injured firefighter. According to RCMP, the 26-year-old driver of a Ford F-350 was prevented from leaving the area by another fireman. “BX fire department members stood by him until the police arrived,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “The fire department members then pointed him out to our officers so they could investigate the case.” The suspect was spoken to by police. He failed a roadside screening test so he was taken to the police office as part of an impaired driving investigation. The suspect has since been released on a promise to appear with a court date of Aug. 29 where he is expected to face charges in relation to impaired driving. His vehicle was also impounded. The fire is believed to have been started at a suspected bush party. “We go to bush parties and illegal bonfires in the middle of the night and when we show up we have beer bottles chucked at us and we deal with drunk people hanging around, basically we’re a wet blanket telling them what they’re doing is illegal,” said Wacey. “It doesn’t happen often, but this is the first time I’ve ever had an incident like this. “It was a narrow road and they were trying to boot it out of there. It could have been a whole lot worse, that’s for sure, because the fire was on a steep road and the road was slick because it had rained a little while before.”
Assault case remains under investigation roger knox Morning Star Staff
Police continue to investigate an assault at a Vernon townhouse Monday that sent one man to hospital and another to jail. Police were called to a townhouse complex on 20th Street near 40th Avenue at around 9:30 p.m. A 61-year-old man was found with serious injuries and was transported to Kelowna General Hospital where he remains in critical condition. A 28-year-old Vernon man was taken into custody. “This was not a home invasion,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.
“The suspect was looking for an individual associated to the apartment.” Molendyk said the
suspect and victim are not related. Victor Jackson made his first court appearance Wednesday on a

To their credit, the woodpeckers eventually moved on (with a little persuasion from a constant barrage of well-aimed tennis balls). My current tenants are quite literally trenched in, and appear to have no intention of leaving. At first, I didn’t realize who my new freeloading guests were. I saw the holes and dirt mounds on my lawn and assumed it was voles (aka meadow mice). After a little Graeme Corbett research, I pinpointed the culprits to be pocket gophers. It turns out voles aren’t very good diggers, and instead they let other burrowing critters do all the work and then take over deserted tunnels. They’re kind of like the unwanted roommates of the subterranean world. You know, the ones who show up unannounced, then clean out your fridge without offering to help with rent or groceries. Given the fresh mounds of dirt appearing daily in my yard (and all over my six-acre property for that matter), there had to be a different type of rodent at work. In researching my quarry, I quickly realized these creatures can do a lot of damage. I read that a single pocket gopher can excavate approximately a ton of earth (up to 800 feet of tunnel network on one acre) in one year. Pocket gophers have already decimated my garlic patch (we have five plants left out of the dozens we planted, and even those are unlikely to make it to harvest), and they have now turned their attention on my vegetable garden. Now I know why Carl Spackler (Bill Murray) got so worked up in Caddyshack.

Time for an eviction notice then. The only question was, how best to serve it? With two dogs and a cat, poison wasn’t an option. In hindsight, that was a smart move as I just watched my youngest pooch chowing down on a gopher I caught the other day. Incidentally, none of our pets have really shown an aptitude for mousing (but the dogs sure can dig holes in our yard with the best of them). I tried cranking on the garden hose to flood them out, but looking at their vast tunnel network, I quickly realized it would be a futile endeavour. I considered gas bombs, but after reading the warning labels, I soon abandoned that idea. That left me with one obvious choice – the tried and tested gopher trap. Live traps weren’t really an option as I have no intention of relocating a gopher so that it can either become a problem for someone else, or heaven forbid, return to my place. I won’t go into the gruesome details, but the traps are proving effective and I might just be turning the tide on my ground-dwelling foe. There is another group of beasties that have taken up residence at our place. These ones I’m actually hoping will stay as they are doing a terrific job of keeping the mosquitos in check. Yes, I’m talking about bats. At least 60 of them, and they have set up a nursery colony in the roof of our suite. I was amazed to watch them drop out of the eaves one night as we walked the dogs in the yard. We just stood there in awe, counting them one after another as they headed out onto an insect-destroying sortie. My initial reaction was one of revulsion, but after reading up on them, the pros far outweigh the cons for these house guests. It will likely make for a lively project when I pull back our metal roof to inspect a leak this summer, but at least these creatures won’t be leaving any lasting damage.
Nobody likes where water rates have gone in Greater Vernon but it appears there’s absolutely no choice. The Regional District of North Okanagan board gave its blessing Wednesday to a master water plan that will cover 24 years and cost a staggering $111 million. As a result, customers can likely expect utility rates to double in the immediate future. But it should be pointed out that RDNO didn’t initiate this process simply as a make-work project. In March 2011, the regional district was issued an order from the Interior Health Authority to develop a master water plan. The authority also dictated a strict deadline for completion — today. Since 2001, Greater Vernon officials have worked hard to establish a document that will meet the requirements of IHA, including filtration on the Duteau Creek source. Now that the master water plan is completed, the next steps include IHA approval and gaining public approval to borrow $68 million. Except that Greater Vernon’s lack of control over the matter doesn’t end there. If, by chance, residents voted down adding to their debt load, IHA could still order the regional district to proceed with borrowing and implementation of the plan. Public input would be cast aside. In the end, RDNO has done a thorough investigation of options and has developed a plan that should meet our needs. Whether that plan becomes a reality eventually is anybody’s guess at this stage of the game. Stay tuned.

Ranch and gas raise concerns
I
would like to comment on two things if I may. 1. Now that Vernon city council has practically thrown O'Keefe Ranch under the bus, I'd like to suggest that before they move the bus, they check with the Kamloops Wildlife Park to find out what they have had to do to survive so long. In 1973, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District had the same idea with regards to the then struggling, money-losing operation on which very few people cared out. If it wasn't for two of the directors on the TNRD board, that park wouldn't be what it is today. They had the foresight to see its potential and managed to convince the rest (some 12) of the directors that it was worth saving. I'm sure Kamloops is quite proud to have this today, some 40 years later. I'd like to suggest that Vernon city council get

Larsen aMaLgaMation So 91 individuals with the City of Vernon earned more than $75,000 in 2012. What would that number be if we included Coldstream and RDNO employees in the count, perhaps 110 to 120, more? At the lower number that's an annual and increasing payroll of $8.25 million. Ask yourself how much of that is duplicated planners, chief administrative officers, fire chiefs, engineers, mayors and councils? The list goes on. And of course they all have expense accounts. So let's address the elephant in the room, amalgamation. If we draw a 30-kilometre diameter circle with Vernon in the middle, we'd have an area encompassing Vernon, Coldstream and most of Areas B and C in which we have three local governments and all of those expensive, duplicated

senior staff we identified earlier. The population is likely between 60,000 and 70,000 to be generous. In contrast, Kamloops has a population of 85,000. Nanaimo has a population of 83,700. Prince George has a population of 88,000. Chilliwack has a population of 80,000 (all numbers rounded). And these jurisdictions get by very nicely with a single mayor and council, with a single complement of senior staff and, without the on-again, off-again interjurisdictional bickering that has shamed Greater Vernon politics for years. Imagine the more efficient use of your tax dollars with a single mayor and council, a single set of planning regulations and a single set of senior employees. Imagine actually beginning to replace the aging infrastructure instead of complaining about the size of the deficit. Imagine moving ahead with planned growth throughout the area. As a Greater Vernon taxpayer, I observe that the solution to a substantially more efficient use of our tax revenues is within each

together with the 90-something high-priced help and discuss options. Surely with a group this size, a solution will be found. There has to be at least 10 people who have the foresight to see the ranch's potential and have the skills required to convince the rest to keep it. 2. While in Kamloops recently, I inquired as to why the price of gas was a good 10 cents a litre cheaper than here, and it has been for quite a while. It seems that Costco has single-handily accomplished what the federal government, the provincial government or any government can't do, force the oil companies to give us a break by putting in gas pumps. Our only hope here, folks, is for the Kelowna Costco to do the same or perhaps even build a store here and put in gas pumps, lots of them. Make some noise. J.V. Methot

Volunteers, businesses, cleanup crews, people who showed up to volunteer in the park, the kids from Cherryville School and to all that came to Cherryville Days to have a good time, thank you ever so much. Perhaps the weather could have been a bit more co-operative, but what the heck, it didn’t rain too badly until supper time, so who could ask for more?! To all of the people who took on an event for the three-day weekend, you are the ones who make it all happen. We cannot put on such a weekend without this kind of support. Gayle and I can’t thank you enough. Thank you to the businesses and individuals who donated to Cherryville Days 2013. Your donations helped make
Cherryville Days a great success again this year. Gayle and I plan to do Cherryville Days again next year, so if you have any ideas or suggestions, please pass them on to us. Lynne Frerichs, cherryville days committee cherryville community club weStSide byeLection Well, now that we have another majority Liberal government with an unelected premier, the arrogance has already started. Christy's first order of the day, pay raises for Liberal Party hacks (Doyle, $230,000 salary). How soon we forget. To add insult to injury, Christy is now buddy-buddy with Alberta's premier. You can bet your butt, the pipeline deal is back on the table. Remember Liberal premier Gordon Campbell who jumped in bed with Prime Minister Stephen Harper for the HST? Gee whiz, resigned, got a cushie Conservative appointment and can add a federal pension to his provincial pension. It must be nice. I believe all Liberals are painted with the same brush. To the people of Westside-
Kelowna, you now have the chance to send a message, a strong message to Premier Clark that you will not stand for it anymore. Please get out and vote. To the old folks like myself, you have the power to change politics. John Jopling

Carson has been suspended and he will return to paid duties today at 9 a.m. “It’s a personnel issue so we are keeping details in confidence,” said Bruce Smith, communications officer. “The department is not losing its career chief. The regional district remains committed to that position.” Smith also points out that all but two (the Andrews) of the 24 volunteer firefighters were prepared for emergencies. “The regional district can assure residents that there is no impact on fire and first medical responder response to the community.” Jim Edgson, North Westside electoral area director, says he has not been involved in Carson’s suspension. “This is a management issue,” said Edgson.

There have been some concerns about decisions made at RDCO and implications for the fire service, so in May, the Andrews held a public open house. “It appears that this (suspension) is somewhat a result of that,” said Johane Andrews. Carson is urging the volunteer force to remain intact. “The last thing any fire department can afford is members resigning. Recruitment and retention of members is important,” he said. Carson says he continued to have confidence in the firefighting service while he was temporarily absent. “They (crew) are responding to calls,” he said. RDCO confirms

Vernonites may eventually be able to slap parking meter fees on plastic. Two companies will conduct a trial of credit card capable parking meter systems in early July. “This will allow further data on credit card use to be gathered and allow a final decision to be made on the purchase of about 200 credit card capable parking meters,” said Patti Bridal, corporate services manager. “This will allow increased customer access to metered parking in the areas of implementation, meet one of the goals of the city centre parking strategy and assist in ensuring the city will be served by a system capable of expansion as the existing infrastructure ages.” The two companies will conduct a 90-day trial and setup, training and maintenance education will occur at their cost, not the city’s.

engineered crops. Foisy and rural Lumby director Rick Fairbairn are proceeding with OCP changes as a result of a number of residents in both jurisdictions expressing concerns about GMOs. “It’s a very important subject and we’re looking for some way to satisfying the concerns of the citizens,” said Fairbairn. Opposition to amending the OCP came from Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director, who says such a move is premature while the regional district’s agricultural advisory committee is reviewing the situation. RDNO has also been under pressure from Bee Safe, a Lumby organization, to take action on GMOs. “This sets a precedent for any group that has an interest with a bias that they can push public policy,” said Macnabb of changing the OCP.

If the ministry won’t do it, one Coldstream politician says he will fire up the weed-whacker himself to clean up a local gem. Garbage, overgrown weeds and graffiti are currently taking away from the beauty of Kalamalka Lake lookout. And Coldstream is tired of waiting for the Ministry of Highways (which is responsible for the destination) to do something about it. “I’ll go up and weed whack it myself if I have to,” said Coun. Doug Dirk. “It’s a focal point of our valley. “The view is a jewel so where you take that view in is important.”

Mama bear and cub destroyed at Armstrong school JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
A mother bear and her cub hanging out at Armstrong Elementary have been destroyed. RCMP received reports of the bears in the school yard Thursday morning and following precautions to keep children and area residents safe, conservation officers made the decision to kill the bears. “She (the mother) was a young bear, very undernourished,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “They probably would not have done well if they could even attempt to move them.” Along with teaching her cub to dig through trash, the mother bear had become accustomed to humans and was therefore not afraid. “They had been a problem for a while.” Since there is currently no room in rehabilitation centres for bears, conservation officers determined that the best course of action was to destroy the bears.

Library operations garner scrutiny richard rolke Morning Star Staff
A thorough investigation of Okanagan Regional Library is underway. Directors have approved a value for money review of the
organization, which has 29 branches. “We want to make sure every participant is getting a return on the dollars they provide,” said Catherine Lord, who is Vernon’s representative on the board.

budget is $16 million annually so we have to make sure money is going to the right places,” he said. “We spend a lot of money on things that to me are iffy.” Beyond the

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation is holding a member vote this week, seeking a mandate to reject “government interference” in province-wide bargaining. Outgoing BCTF president Susan Lambert notified 40,000
public school teachers of the vote in a letter Monday. Teachers have until today to vote. “We need to send a strong message to government that teachers will not accept a 10-year scheme to lock in another decade of deteriorating conditions,” Lambert wrote. “The ballot will read: ‘Do you support our bargaining team and their efforts to achieve a negotiated settlement, and oppose any government interference in the bargaining process? Yes or No’.” The vote signals a reversal of the BCTF position on bargaining. In a submission
to the government in December 2012, the union called for “provincial bargaining between the BCTF and government regarding salary, benefits, hours of work, paid leaves, class size, class composition, and staffing levels for specialist teachers,” and “local bargaining of all other items.” BCTF presidentelect Jim Iker acknowledged the union called for direct bargaining on provincial issues late last year, but negotiated a new “bargaining framework” with the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association in January.

“This ‘agreement in committee’ allowed bargaining to move forward in a quiet, outof-the-media-spotlight manner and meetings began in February,” Iker said. “The talks since have been the most constructive talks in years and that’s why teachers are hoping the provincial government does not interfere.” The province-wide vote follows Education Minister Peter Fassbender asking for a “pause” in bargaining, to appoint a direct government negotiator, with a goal of reaching a 10-year deal.

Premier prepares for debate alistair waters Black Press
Christy Clark is breaking with tradition. The premier, seeking a seat in the Legislature by running in the Westside-Kelowna byelection July 10, will do what none of her predecessors in the last 30 years did — participate in an all-candidates’ debate at the riding level. Clark will join the other seven candidates vying for the Westside-Kelowna seat in the debate slated for July 4 in Christy Clark Westbank. Clark agreed to participate Monday, as did NDP candidate Carole Gordon and B.C. Conservative Sean Upshaw. Independents Daylene Van Ryswyk, Silverado Socrates, Korry Zeplik, John Marks and Jag Bhandari of the B.C. Vision Party are also running in the byelection and are expected to participate. The debate is scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. at the Westbank Lions Community Hall. For Clark, participation in the all-candidates’
debate will mark a change in tactics from her failed bid to retain her Vancouver-Point-Grey seat in the provincial election May 14. There, she did not participate in any all-candidates’ debates in her riding during the campaign, instead focussing on her role as leader of the B.C. Liberal Party. She travelled the province drumming up support for other Liberal candidates. Clark lost the riding to the NDP’s David Eby by just over 1,000 votes. Even before being sworn back into office, Westside-Kelowna victor, incumbent Liberal MLA Ben Stewart, who easily held the riding with 58 per cent of the vote, announced he was stepping down to let Clark run in a byelection here.

Jackets and Sox dress up titles Morning Star Staff
The Interior Utility Management Yellow Jackets used a four-run fifth inning Wednesday night to stop the Fraternal Order of Eagles Black Knights 9-5 and claim the best-of-three Vernon Pee Wee baseball playoff final series in straight games at Creekside Park. Eric Foufoulas and Matthew Hansen each pitched one solid inning for the Jackets, with Powell Connor going the next two and his brother Lincoln Connor closing. For the Black Sox, Jackson Soucy pitched well in the first inning and then gave the ball to Shaun Huzinga for the next two innings. Hansen drilled a liner near the fence for a double and Izaac Lowe hit him home on a double to right. Jackets’ shortstop Ethan Eisenhauer made a nifty double play in the third, tracking a pop up and gunning out a runner who was trying to tag up at first. Brayden Beacom was steady at shortstop and third base. Foufoulas sparkled behind the plate, throwing out a runner at third in the fourth inning. Jacob Soucy did the same in the first. Both teams played well defensively to keep the score low through the first few innings. The difference came in the fifth when Lowe, Emily Wilson and James Eustache all had hits with two outs as the Jackets pushed across four runs. Lincoln Connor finished 2-for-4. The Jackets grounded the Black Knights 13-6 in the series opener Monday night at Creekside. Eustache delivered a two-out, two-run single in the bottom of the first for the Jackets, bringing in Darryl Bloor and Powell Connor, who had each walked. Bloor singled and drove in two runs in the second inning. Hansen pitched the first two innings, allowing three runs while striking out one. Powell Connor, for the Jackets, and Maguire Lauridsen, for the Knights, each fanned two batters in the third. Connor mowed down a pair in the fourth before giving the ball to Lincoln Connor.

James Inglis picked up the clean sheet as Monashee Surveying shut down Riot FC 2-0 in North Okanagan Soccer League play Wednesday night at Marshall Field #5. The 3-5-1 Surveyors, fielding a full squad of 18, went ahead on a corner kick. Glenn Allen, making his season debut, crossed it in for Australian Dave Henry to head in from the near post. Later in the first half, a miscue by Inglis led to a breakaway for the 2-6-2 Riot, but Matt McKeown slid in behind the Monashee keeper to steal the goal away. Allen made it 2-0 before the break when he poked one into the far corner after Brett Korberg had headed on a free kick. With the Riot pressing, Monashee worked a simple passing game in the second half to ride out the win. Okanagan Spirits Man of the Match was defender John Duc, who kept Monashee calm on the back line. North Enderby Timber and the host Revelstoke Stallions settled nothing in a 1-1 draw. Both teams generated multiple chances, with NET keeper Danny Stein making a couple huge saves. The 4-2-3 Stallions solved Stein in the 25th minute after a timber turnover led to a partial breakaway. The initial shot bounced off the left post, but the Revelstoke striker followed up by tapping in his own rebound. Just before half, Stein and sweeper Chris Ovens combined to clear a ball off the line during a scramble. NET, now 6-3-1, equalized 20 minutes into the second half after Sean Lister and Dexter James worked the ball through the midfield and fed it to speedy Brent Poulsen, who baited the Revelstoke keeper and finished with a calm chip from just inside the 18. The timber nearly jumped ahead after a scramble in the Stallions’ end, but somehow the ball stayed out. The Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels shelled Peters Tirecraft/Concept Physio 5-1 at Marshall #4. Enzo Paal (2), Mwiza Singogo, Trevor Rachwalski, and Albert Goldnik supplied the 6-3-2 Camel attack.

Facing monster puddles all over the field, the Longhorn Impact and TED United splashed one another in a soccer showdown Tuesday night at the Salmon Arm Savings Credit Union Park. Super striker Lauren Harris scored a deuce and roadrunner Janelle Smithson added one as the Impact tripped up United 3-1 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division play. The Impact improved to 11-0, while second-place Salmon Arm dropped to 8-1-1. Dawn Lemiski fed Harris for the first goal, before United’s Kyla Sherman equalized. The game was level for 10 minutes before Jodi Hawthorne passed to Smithson, who hugged the ball into her chest, dropped it to her foot and finished for the winner. Harris weaved her way through the puddles and provided the clincher. Minda Chittenden kept pace with United phenom Tricia Martin in the centre midfeld, while bold efforts came from Bree Pickett, at sweeper, and Myra Mcewan, up front. Derri Ann Cooper was very competent in net, even with the ball stopping at the drop of a dime in an eight-inch swamp. Outside fullback Lisa Boer went swimming on a challenge and came up with the ball.
Sistas tie up Rosters
The Seasons Sistas and Rosters drew 4-4 in a highly entertaining match at Marshall #1. The Sistas netted their opening goal when Sherrie Wiebe took a corner and a subsequent shot on net came from newbie Diane Neudorf. Andy Zubot headed in the rebound. Neudorf went on to score two goals while Weibe used her wheels to split the defence and finish low corner. With no subs, the defence of Bobbie Catt, Juanita Goodfellow, Bridget Frick and Darlene Toews played the hardcharging Rosters tough. The Sistas are 1-8-1 and getting better by the game. Rookie keeper Sue MacKinnon played well for Rosters (1-6-3), who were missing some key midfielders but still enjoyed plenty of chances. Rosters’ first goal came from a heroic effort by calendar girl Andrea Southam after a threeplayer pile up in front of the Sistas net. Southam was the first to scramble to her feet and kicked one in to the empty net. S t r i k e r Deanna Baker supplied a pair of beauties and moved the ball deep all night, while Southam

Kerry VanSickle returned to the field after a three-year absence and looked great on the right wing.
Kickers draw Setters
The Chick Kickers also fought the puddles as they gained a 1-1 draw with host Salmon Arm Setters Pub. Setters (6-3-2) scored first on a long run minutes after the opening kickoff. After that, the Chick Kickers (5-1-4) ruled most of the play with Mel Jacobs, Michelle Johnson and Jen Sorochuk having their shots halted by puddles. Robyn Sherwood was firm in net and the back four of Colline Johnson, Marlilyn VanderDeen, Elisha Kitton and Red Robin Lady of the Match Shawna Duncan-Stenquest, was rock-solid. With only nine minutes to go, roadrunner Kelly Challen scored a beautiful equalizing goal.
United slips past Merlot
North Okanagan United warmed up for Funtastic Summer Festival bartending duties by clipping the Shuswap Merlot 4-3 at Marshall #2. Carly Bibby bagged a deuce, one on a gorgeous volley after a cross by Carla Gibson, as NOU improved to 3-4-4. Gibson and Sarah Kwantes, with the sweet winner, completed the offence. Keeper Dar Wiebe came out hard to challenge the 3-4-3 Merlot attackers. In Division 1 action, Stephanie Wilson and Delinah Erbenich each
scored once and assisted on another as Dr. Lee’s Dental bounced the AF Blazers 5-2 at MacDonald Park. Lori Shippy, on a header, Kim Teichman, on a breakaway, and Leah Frye, on a scramble, added singles for the Floss Crew (9-2). Lisa Arrotta posted her ninth win in net. Ali Clarke, from Jen Hatten, and Hailey Woon, off a beautiful Jane Sutton corner, replied for the Blazers (4-5-2). Sutton and Amber Maltman had solid games in the middle for the Blazers.
NET unravels Wrap Zone
The North Enderby Celtics iced the ever-improving Wrap Zone 4-0 at Marshall #5. NET’s first goal came from a great run down the left wing from feisty Kirman Nijjar, who dribbled deep into the 18 and fed an unmarked Jen Siegmueller, who calmly finished. Nijjar then made a similar speedy run down the right before crossing the ball to a streaking Megan Smith, who showed composure in heading it bottom corner. The Celtics went up 3-0 on a headsup play from Tanya Nijjar, who intercepted a goal kick from 30 yards, took a one touch and hammered the ball past the scrambling keeper. NET (5-4-2) put veteran superstar Ashley Krause up front in the second half, and Krause took a pass from the midfield just outside the 18, turned and effortlessly chipped several defenders as well as the out-stretched keeper for the final goal.

Tykes close season strong Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan Lightning wrapped up their Tykes lacrosse season in Kelowna last weekend with a 10-1 victory over Nicola Valley, and a 5-4 thriller win over Kelowna. Rookie sensation Ryder Ritchie potted his second of the game late in the third period to give the Lightning the win over Kelowna. The Lightning finished 9-1 on the season. The Bolts were anchored on defence with rock-solid secondyear veterans Jayden McKim, Zachary and Jonathan Milne and Zack Casagrande. Stellar goaltending was provided by Kellen Mooney. Up front, the Lightning were ignited by centre Bradley Scabar and Nate Williamson, while Jace Collard, Chase Brumpton, Hunter Hamilton-Williams, CJ and Kai Maleniza and Ritchie rounded out the Lightning offence. Said Lightning head coach Mike Casagrande: “The kids really came together as a team this year and their hard work paid off. They’re not an easy group to play against.” Meanwhile, the North Okanagan Co-op/Gilberts Parts Depot Legends #1 ended Novice playoffs with a 13-1 loss to the No. 1 seed Penticton Heat Saturday at Kal Tire Place. Chayton Marchand scored the lone goal for the weary Legends against the top-seeded Heat. North Okanagan began Saturday with a thrilling 8-7 win over the Kelowna Kodiaks #2 team.

Harlequins halt Jackals in ORU semi Morning Star Staff
The Penticton Harlequins brushed back the Vernon Jackals 29-22 in the Okanagan Rugby Union semifinal Saturday in the Peach City. Kevin Stecyk and Trevor Miyazaki scored tries for Vernon, who got two converts and a penalty kick from Miyazaki. “Penticton was the better team on the day,” said Jackals’ veteran Mike Scheller. “They held more territory and ball possession than we did, especially in the second half, and they converted their chances.” Vernon had no subs, while Penticton
used numbers to wear the Jackals down. Calum Lloyd, with three, Chris Hanon and Scott Naylor recorded Penticton tries. The Enderby-Salmon Arm Manthers stopped the Merritt Barbarians 17-10 in the other semifinal. The Manthers and Harlequins battle in the league championship, Saturday, July 6 in Penticton. “We tackled well, and improved in our rucks and mauls,” added Scheller. “Flanker Geoff Cranton had a very good game. He made a lot of tackles and stuffed their 8-man picks. Eighth man Travis Beck was also solid in the back row for
us. Locks Don Deane and Dave Ryll and prop Liam Brown were all tough for us up front. “Miyazaki has been our best player all year and Saturday was no exception. Centres Brian Cragg and Kevin Stecyk ran hard and were threats offensively.” The Jackals (5-5-1 overall) had low numbers at practice with a few clutch players working up north, and it showed come game time. Vernon will play in the Prince George tournament, July 13-14 facing the hosts, Terrace and Prince Rupert.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) It’s best not to make any last-minute changes to an important matter that you’re trying to wrap up. Things are likely to work out as you anticipate, or, perhaps, even better. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your best adviser might not be someone to whom you usually go for counsel. Before seeking advice from anyone else, try your mate or a close friend. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) In a matter that directly affects your work, don’t underestimate your competition. This does not mean that all your adversaries are stronger -- it just means you should watch your back. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) A wise associate might influence you to change your mind about something. Don’t berate yourself for doing so; it’ll turn out to be a wise choice. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) A pleasant surprise is in store when new life is breathed into an endeavor you were about to write off. This shift in conditions will produce fresh advantages. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Take advantage of an opportunity to catch up with an acquaintance whom you’ve been neglecting of late. You’ll be glad you did. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Follow your judgment regarding an important career decision. Advice
from others could only muddy the waters. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) There is a strong possibility that you will learn a valuable lesson. The knowledge you’ll gain will be used later to further your aims. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Both your intuitive perceptions and your logic are sharper than usual. Both will help you make the decisions you need to make. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Even if you aren’t an original thinker, chances are someone you hang out with is. You’ll know how to put his or her ideas to good use. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Anything that calls for a financial risk might not work out. However, involvements requiring hard work will pay off reliably.
Hormones Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Moderately Confused
DL# 7385
Bridge by Phillip Alder HOW DOES RESPONDER FIND 4-4 SPADES? This week we are looking at the Stayman convention, whose primary job is to try to find a 4-4 major-suit fit after opener immediately shows a balanced hand. When the opening bid is one no-trump and responder bids two clubs, it asks opener to show a fourcard major. If opener has two of them, he rebids two hearts. Then, what does the responder do when he has four spades and fewer than four hearts? If he has gameinvitational strength, it depends upon system. If one no-trump - two no-trump is natural, showing about nine points and inviting game, then responder continues
with two no-trump. Since he used Stayman, he must have a four-card major, and since he has not raised hearts, he must hold four spades. But if one notrump - two no-trump is not natural, perhaps a transfer to diamonds, responder rebids two spades. Opener is expected to place the final contract. Here, with an absolute maximum, he signs off in three no-trump. After West leads the diamond king, what should South do? Declarer has six top tricks and at least three more can come from the clubs. However, if East has the club king, there is a risk the opponents will collect four diamond tricks to defeat you.
The answer? Duck the first trick. If West leads another diamond, it gives you two diamond tricks. If West shifts, you win in hand and run the club 10 (or queen). Ducking with the A-J-x is called the Bath Coup because this play was first recognized in that English city when whist was popular.

Lake County councillors have supported the location of a proposed middle school. The Central Okanagan School District has pinpointed the grounds of George Elliot Secondary for the middle school building and the site of the Aspen Grove Golf Course for sports fields. “I like the fact it’s going to be close to the existing high school,” said Coun. Rob Geier, also a teacher at George Elliot. “It just makes so much sense for a middle school to be able to access the high school.” Rob Geier Approval to build the school has not yet been granted by the provincial government. The school district will provide the province with a project identification report before the end of this year before the project is ranked in importance on a provincial basis. It’s expected the school won’t be built for at least five years. With Lake Country’s population growing and becoming younger, a new middle school for the area is a priority. The district was one of the rare B.C. communities whose population is actually getting younger, as identified in the latest Canadian census. “As a growing community, we have some challenges in providing adequate schooling and locations for schools for our kids,” said Mark Koch, Lake Country director of planning and development. “This has been identified as an ideal location due to size and location.” With the sports fields being in the Agricultural Land Reserve, council members discussed the potential to offer courses that are closely related to Lake Country’s economy, such as agriculture. “I think we need to remind them of the agriculture component,” said Geier. “An agriculture component to the school would allow students to take part in that field and think of it as a possible career.” Council has supported the motion to allow the land to be removed from the ALR and used to build sports fields for an eventual new school.

Vernon artists Jessika La Framboise, left, Ryan Ryan and Roxi Sim Hermsen have been selected to show their work at the upcoming Okanagan Erotic Art Show opening at Vernon’s Sparkling Hill Resort July 5.
Local artists go erotic at Sparkling Hill Jennifer Smith Black Press
A sparkling aura glows from the goldleafed dancer in Roxi Sim Hermsen’s photographs, an image so apropos for the newly minted Erotic Art Show it’s almost indescribable. Now in its sixth year, the Erotic Art Show is making a bold move to Sparkling Hill Resort. Owned by Gernot Langes Swarovski, patriarch of the Swarovski crystal dynasty, the Austrian-inspired hideaway is a glitzy stunner of a venue, perched over Okanagan Lake, with a view so spectacular it would take any other show a considerable amount of effort to turn a visitor’s gaze. There’s no denying the Erotic Art Show has never had a problem turning heads, however, and organizer Julia Trops has done an admirable job of building it from a small collection of sketches and paintings to the pièce de résistance of Okanagan art events it is today. “Last year at the opening I was approached by Hans-Peter Mayr, chief executive officer of Sparkling Hill, and he said he was interested in holding the show at Sparkling Hill,” said Trops. “It was actually good timing because Jeff and Decoa (Harder, of Ex Nihilo Vineyards) had just told me they couldn’t hold the event anymore as they were moving into more weddings. So I thought, well, that’s perfect; it’s been three years and it’s time for a change. I really believe everything happens for a reason.” Change is definitely on the menu for this show.
“I paint what I want to see reflected back to me. My paintings are colourful and full of life.” — Roxi Sim Hermsen
For the first time, the event will go beyond the visual arts scope to include performances from guitar player Alan Rinehart, seductive dancing by Vernon’s City Dance, and a show from Kelowna’s innovative multidisciplinary trio Musartiqa, composed of visual artist Angela Bonten, Ballet Kelowna alumni Angel Jutzi and musician Tony Koenen. In addition theatre86’s Jessika LaFramboise, of Vernon will perform her self-titled play, Slut. “I wrote this monologue specially for the art show’s opening,” said LaFramboise, adding the character, Amy, talks about her sexual history and how that affects her world views. “I used my own experiences and experiences I have heard from friends, and then embellished them,” she said. Bolstered by this new partnership, but championed by Rotary Arts Centre executive director Tracie Ward, to whom this year’s efforts are dedicated, the show has always found a way to exceed expectations, revelling in the kind of art of the body often deemed too controversial in the Okanagan. While the Livessence art group, which focuses on drawing nude and minimally clad models, has had its work criticized, and even shunned from time to time, and a smattering of artists who work with the naked body have
faced a backlash, the show has become a pillar of the Okanagan arts community. Artists such as Vernon’s Sim Hermsen often return, show after show, describing the event as a fun, relaxed affair. “The artists are all really supportive of one another and it’s just a celebration,” said Sim Hermsen. Once a high school art teacher, her students have gone on to work as cinematographers and artists all over the world, and Sim Hermsen loves to collaborate with them, and almost everyone else in the arts community, whenever possible. From community mural projects, to providing videos for local bands and advertising clips for the Okanagan Science Centre her family helped create, the breadth of her creative prowess is astounding. Thus, when French dancer Amanda Lynn Wooden-Papilhau, originally from Enderby, approached her with a request to photograph her dancing naked around her mother’s fire pit, she was all ears. “We went with a moth to the flame theme and I spent a full day doing her body paint and applying the gold leaf ,” said Sim Hermsen. As dusk rolled in, they moved out to the fire and Wooden-Papilhau began to dance, improvising a selection of moves that have proved
the perfect fit for the looped video project Sim Hermsen added to her still photographs to give a more complete package at this show. Ordinarily more of a painter, Sim Hermsen has a stack of children’s books to her name and is gearing up for a large show of her own, having spent seven years researching and creating her own set of tarot cards. She is also recovering from illness —she spent 20 years suffering from Lyme disease, an ailment many in the health community would not recognize until very recently— and uses her art and dance as therapy. “I paint what I want to see reflected back to me,” she said. “My paintings are colourful and full of life.” She comes by this cheerful attitude quite honestly. She was a cheerleader for the B.C. Lions football team in high school and has always preferred to champion others’ work and partner with talented souls, rather than focus on herself. Sim Hermsen will be joined by fellow Vernon artists LaFramboise and The Hub Arts Collective’s Ryan Ryan is showing their work at The Erotic Art Show, which runs July 5 to Aug. 2 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily at Sparkling Hill Resort, 888 Sparkling Way, Vernon, An opening night party takes place July 5. Dress is masquerade style with costumes encouraged. Funds raised will go to the Central Okanagan Hospice Association in honour of Ward, who died last year. Tickets are $31.20 and can be obtained online at okanaganeroticartshow.com/2013/05/ opening-night-tickets/.

Mike (Billy Crystal) and Sully (John Goodman) are freshmen in the new movie Monsters University. showing their spiky teeth and red eyes. The slug was very funny. TAYLOR: I enjoyed the Monster’s take on college life. In many ways the film pokes fun at the symbolism and ceremony of teenage academia, but obviously without being naughty. Fans of the first film will not find Monsters
University lacking in any way, in terms of humour, vibrancy, fun or even metaphysics. Mike, Sully and all the other monsters, despite seeking employment in the shadows of our kids’ bedrooms, still live in some other dimension and rely on technology for their infiltration. I’m not
saying that the crazy conspiracy theories surrounding the first film are true, but I’m convinced that the filmmakers we’re aware of them when they made the sequel. HOWE: There seemed to be more jokes in this than the original, and not just aimed for the younger audience. I found myself laughing more than a few times throughout the whole movie, which made for a nice change. Normally I find the comedy tails off towards the last 15 minutes or so, but not this time. I was thoroughly entertained. — Taylor gives Monsters University 4 magic doors out of 5. — Howe gives it 4 scream canisters out of 5. — Fenin gives it 5 monsters out of 5. The feature is currently playing at Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

When Mike and Sully meet, it is a clash of personalities that leads to confrontation. An accident forces the school to expel Mike and Sully unless they can prove that they have the dedication and skill to win MU’s annual Scare Games, where fraternities and sororities face off against each other. With Sully’s weak work ethic and Mike being considered decidedly not scary, the only fraternity that will have them is a rather pathetic group of outcasts called Oozma Kappa.

looking green cyclops was inspired to become a Scarer by an alumni of MU. Mike worked hard his whole scholastic career to be accepted into MU’s illustrious Scare School. James P. Sullivan, on the other hand, a large, fanged, hairy blue monster with a ferocious roar, coasted into MU on his fearsome appearance and father’s famous name.
efore Mike and Sully (voiced by Billy Crystal and John Goodman) worked for Monsters, Inc. as professional Scarers collecting scream energy from children, they were young monsters who met at Monsters University.

Scare Games? Can Mike and Sully put their differences aside and graduate? We say, “It’s bright, colourful, fun and fearless.” TAYLOR: There were some very young kids at this film that got a little scared and a few older kids that got a little bored, but on the whole I thought Monsters University was well-received by its target audience. I enjoyed it. HOWE: I thought it was better than the original Monsters Inc. The idea of them having to go through college and having their fair share of problems along the way (just like in real life) was very well done. But don’t just take our word for it, let’s ask someone a little younger for his thoughts, seeing it is aimed at his age group. FENIN: I liked the gurls in pink, who hissed
the songs are full of funny lines and amped up backwoods vocals. The Annies create an appealing semi redneck world of drinkin’, flirtin’ and some straightup commentary on being Unhappily Married. Check this lyric, snarled over a bluesy acoustic vamp: “I’ll cook your dinner if you’ll wash my car/May as well keep going, hell we made it this far/ Both play our parts in this disaster/I’ll be the bitch and you’ll be the bastard.” But they add some poignancy to

classic barroom self pity: “If whisky can’t drown you/What the hell will?/Hey blues, you’re a buzzkill” from Hey Blues, You’re a Buzzkill. There’s sincerity and biting humour and they’ve figured out the trick of turning a clichéd country lyric into
relatable material. The twang of guitars matches the Annies’ voices and some rough riffs (Loved By a Workin’ Man) bump up against a haze of tremeloed electrics (Dear Sobriety). There’s a sensible mix of bravado and tough-luck pathos; pickin’ and grinnin’ with steely music and deep backwoods twang. The Annies don’t have a stand-out singer. Instead, they’re a team with chemistry and they write raucous material with super catchy character-driven lyrics.

room at school — we use food a lot in the program,” said Britton. “We have an interesting social dynamic. Sometimes we are in a town-hall type of classroom and sometimes in small groups. “I apologize to the kids for being pseudo guinea pigs this year and for the most part they were fine.” Britton said students starting Grade 8 have a numeracy level that ranges from Grade 2 to 8. “So it’s really challenging to expect them to do principals or foundations in math. Our goal is to get them to do apprenticeship and workplace math. “Our literacy goals are the same, and there is a huge intervention with a lot of these children, from kids who won’t pick up a book to those who won’t put a book down. When it comes to success we look at where students have gone from a minimal reading level to a Grade 5 and 6 level, which is huge. “So we said let’s look at ways to improve their learning. The key part is transitions, kids were coming to us with a C-minus in math in Grade 7 to a good mark in Grade 8 and this program helps alleviate some of that transition.” One of the challenges teachers had, said Britton, was to integrate the core subjects into the program. “Some worked nicely and others not so much,” he said. “But we feel it’s unfair to have the kids go back to a regular learning environment after this, so for Grade 9,
we’ll do two teams teaching math/science and have an English/social studies teacher. “There have been things we learned as teachers that hopefully will be improved on. It’s about teaching kids in a new way. “For some students, it’s the fear of ‘this isn’t what a school traditionally looks like,’ and as teachers we have this fear, too, that we’re going to miss something or get them out of sync with numeracy and literacy.” Britton said it’s not just academics where students have improved. Behaviour has also seen an improvement. “Attendance in the first semester was better than in previous years; students were more accountable.” At feeder schools for Seaton, such as Alexis Park and Harwood, teachers are looking at how to best prepare their Grade 6 and 7 students for the transition into high school. “PAC was part of the conversation process; I didn’t think we did as good a job as we thought in getting the word out because we’ve had parents who are glowing about the program and others are worried if it’s really high school; had we done a better job of informing parents, that would have helped.” This year, funding from the ministry’s Learning Improvement Fund provided the necessary staffing. “We won’t have it next year so we are struggling, but it’s designed and in the timetable to happen again.”

Farm celebrates Canada Day with patriotic pride Morning Star Staff
The Davison Family is celebrating Canada’s 147th birthday with patriotic pride. Red and white is the colour of the day and the staff is going all out. Everyone is dressing for the occasion and giving their customers a chance to vote for the
most patriotic staff member. “It’s a fun way to celebrate the day and we have offered some great prizes as an incentive,” said Tamra Davison. “We are not leaving out our customers either — we’re giving away jars of our farm fruit topping to the first 50 fam-

Songs of Solomon: 4:12: “A garden inclosed is... my spouse. A garden is the epitome of organized beauty and productiveness and fruitfulness and new life, and is a perfect type of the glorified bride. An area is carefully selected for site and favourable conditions, separated, marked off, protected with a wall or fence, and levelled, soil tested, enriched, broken up, worked over, sown, watered, weeded, tended, sprayed, pruned to bring forth an abundance of beauty of sight and smell.

The Davison family received a donation of a Tamarack flag pole originating from Hudson Bay Junction in Saskatchewan. Following the flag-raising the family will cut a huge birthday cake prepared in the bakery to share with everyone present (while supply lasts). The annual barbecue will also take place on the patio at Auntie May’s from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Orchard tours on the Johnny Popper Apple Train will also run from 10 a.m. to

am surrounded by airborne germs all day. It’s extremely annoying and interferes with my ability to concentrate on my work. I know some of this is allergies, but she also doesn’t stay home when she is sick. I have offered cough drops and antihistamines, which she has refused. I suffer from allergies, as well, but try to keep my symptoms to myself. I have talked to my boss, but she won’t deal with it. Other co-workers are unwilling to switch desks with me (understandably). I used to like going to work, but I am ready to hand in my notice. What do you suggest? — Had It with the Hacking Dear Had It: First be more direct with this co-worker, explaining your discomfort and asking her to please cover her nose and mouth. If that doesn’t help, can you complain to the human resources department or a higher-up? Is it possible to move your desk? Would you be willing to wear a surgical mask or filter? Allergies can’t always be helped, but people should be considerate of one another. Dear Annie: My husband has a habit of interrupting me while I’m still talking. He anticipates what I’m
going to say and will answer before I’m finished speaking. If I ask what he wants from the grocery store, he will start telling me while I’m still asking, which means I can’t hear what he says. This is both annoying and rude, but he doesn’t get it. Any ideas? — Frustrated in Louisville Dear Frustrated: If you have told him how annoying this is and he is unwilling to work on it, we recommend you change your response so you are less aggravated. Stop speaking when he starts. Don’t correct him if he “anticipates” wrongly. You can then respond to or ignore what he says, depending on your mood, but try not to get angry. Dear Annie: I got a chuckle out of the question of the evening meal being “dinner” or “supper.” I grew up in a rural area, but have lived in a large city for the past 35 years. My cousin recently called to ask whether we could get together for dinner. When I said I’d love to, he replied, “Great! I get in town at 11 a.m.” It took me a few minutes to realize he meant the noon meal, which on the farm is called “dinner.” — Jean
The neighbours aren’t happy
D
ear Annie: We live in a quiet family neighborhood. Recently, a neighbor tried to locate the owner of a rental home next door in order to discuss a shared fence issue. When our neighbor could find no contact information through the city department of housing, he searched the Internet. He was shocked to discover that for the past 10 years, the owners have had a porn site reg-

istered at that rental home address. None of us wants a porn site associated with our neighborhood. How should we handle this? — No Name Please Dear No Name: While we certainly understand your moral objections, these owners seem to be running a legal operation. Most web-based or home-based businesses are fine unless there are customers or employees coming to the house. There may be a requirement to have a business license, but that’s about it. You can contact a lawyer in your city to find out

Lost & Found Lost: Young male adult cat, solid blue/grey color, yellow eyes, extra toes all around. Friendly. Hospital Hill area. 250-545-5589.
Predeceased by his son Danny and daughter in laws Terry (Lee) and Donna (Larry); Jim is survived by his wife of 60 years Jane, sons Lee and Larry; granddaughters Jamie and Robyn; Sisters Margaret (Rob) Wardrop, Rita Jeffrey, Brother Danny (Peggy) Bisset and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family & friends. Jim was followed in passing by his sister Norma (Bill) Grieve a few hours later in their hometown in Scotland. Jim & Jane moved from Scotland to Canada in 1953, two weeks after being married. He spent most of his life living in Kitimat BC and moved to Coldstream in 1984. As a trained carpenter Jim’s philosophy was “if you were making it out of wood, you can do anything”.. much to the dismay of husbands of the women in Jim’s life. There was never a project that could not be tackled and Jim (Mr. B to most) was always in the midst of it all. A celebration of life will be held on June 29th at Nancy and Mel’s (8425 Buchanan Road) from 1:00 – 4:00pm. In lieu of flowers we ask that donations be made in Jim’s name to the Mcmurtry Baerg Cancer Center located in the Vernon Jubilee Hospital.
